By ANNETTE MARSHALL Pike Press Among the new laws which took effect in 2014 was a law designed to protect hunters and fishers from interference from aerial drones. HB1652, sponsored by state representative Adam Brown (R-Champaign), and Senator Daniel Bliss (D-Evanston), was filed on Feb. 14, 2013, and signed by Governor Quinn Aug. 16, 2013. The bill amended the wildlife Criminal Code of 2012, making it a Class A misdemeanor to “use a drone

in a way that interferes with another person’s lawful taking of wildlife or aquatic life.” While the law does not specifically name the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) organization, it was the roll out of the PETA “Air Angel” drones that had many hunters concerned about their privacy. Avid hunter and Jersey County resident Chuck Hoffmann said he was aware of the drone issue and of the new law. “This new law prohibiting drone use to harass hunters, as any other law, is only as good as the ethics of

the people honoring the law,” he said. The drones, which retail for $324.99 at petacatalog. com, are touted as a tool to help protect animals from illegal hunting activities. “Using your hobby drone, you can collect instant toyour-phone video footage of hunters engaging in illegal activity, such as drinking while in possession of a firearm, injuring animals and failing to pursue them, and illegally using spotlights, feed lures, and other nasty but common hunting tricks.

used to alert game wardens and other authorities to who is doing what to animals,” states the description on the website. Footage collected by the drones can be streamed live via the internet, or uploaded to the Air Angels page on PETA.org. While Hoffmann was lessthan-thrilled about the idea of someone capturing surveillance footage of his hunting activities - “What will these radicals think of next?” he wondered - the former State of Illinois gun safety instructor added he has “no respect” for

those sportsmen who choose to break the law, but guessed that violators were only two to three percent of hunters. PETA’s Director of Animal Law, Jared Goodman, said in a statement, “The Illinois law doesn’t affect PETA’s plans since its hobby drone program is intended not to interfere with wildlife or hunters but to capture video footage of hunters engaging in common illegal activity, such as drinking while in possession of a firearm, injuring animals and failing to pursue them, and illegally using spotlights, feed lures, and other nasty but

common hunting tricks. All this law does is highlight the fact that hunters and fishers have something to hide from the public.” Current FAA rules dictate that drones must be operated less than 400 ft. above the ground, in daylight conditions only and must be within the operator’s line of sight. Those rules could severely hinder an operator’s attempt to legally gather footage of a hunter of fisher that the drone operator may consider in violation of state hunting and fishing rules.

By JEANETTE WALLACE Pike Press Western School Board held a public hearing at its board meeting Wednesday, Jan. 15 to discuss issuing $1.5 million in working cash bonds. Around 40 members of the public attended the meeting to get a better understanding of what issuing these bonds would mean. To begin explaining their position, the board introduced the new interim superintendent, Steve Goodman. Unless residents of the district petition for a ballot decision, the board could proceed with the bonds as early as next month, Goodman said. Goodman further explained the school budget has nine funds which include education, operation and maintenance, bonds and interest, transportation, IMRF Social Security, capital projects, working cash, torte fund, and fire prevention and life safety. Goodman explained that most of these funds are restricted, such as operation and maintenance, which must be used to keep the building and property maintained. “Having a school like this is like having about ten houses, and if you can visualize all the little odds and ends that happen to your home on a yearly basis and multiply it times ten, you might get an idea of what happens on a building like this,” Goodman said. The district’s budget is required by the state to be balanced by the end of the year and, according to Goodman, because of recent funding cuts from the state, Western has at least three funds that will most likely be in the red by the end of the year if the district

doesn’t change something. The board issued $860,000 working cash bonds in March 2013 to be repaid over three years at $305,000 per year, which increased the tax rate from $4.69 to $5.25. The board chose this instead of a permanent rate increase so

“If we’re unable to get these working cash bonds, we’ll end up having to go to the bank and that rate will be closer to 3 percent.”

Shane Fee Western board member that it would be possible for rates to go back down when the bonds are paid off and the budget is balanced. What the board is studying now is the authority to issue up to $1.5 million in additional working cash bonds with installments each year at $375,000 over the next four years as needed. If these bonds are issued, they would not increase the property tax rate any more than it has already been raised. It would, however, extend the the higher rate of $5.25 until the working cash bonds are repaid. The board explained that it has been forced to make several expense reductions in personnel and programs and more reductions are planned over the next few years. The board hopes to get the bonds issued now because they have the opportunity to

get rates at 1.59 percent. If the district is unable to get the working cash bonds, it will have to get help from the bank, which will be more expensive. “If we’re unable to get these working cash bonds, we’ll end up having to go to the bank and that rate will be closer to 3 percent,” Shane Fee, board member, said. “What we’re doing with this bond issue is trying to capture the low rate environment we’ve got now.” Members of the public brought up several concerns, including the problem of high tax rates and the worry that issuing these bonds will only be a short-term solution. The board stated that they hope extending the higher tax rate will allow the schools a few years of financial stability with the hopes that the political environment in the state of Illinois will change. To get the working cash bonds onto the November ballot, a petition has to be presented to the board secretary. “At this point in order for it to show up on the ballot, a petition with 10 percent of voter’s signatures must be presented to the board’s secretary by Jan. 31,” Goodman said. If the necessary signatures are not obtained by that date, the board will have the authority to issue the bonds needed to keep the budget balanced. Members of the board made it clear that they understand the community’s frustration with increasing taxes, but they feel that there is no more room to make significant cuts without lowering the quality of Western’s students’ education. “This is a community problem and it’s going to take the community to fix it,” Inky Shover, board member, said.

Rev. Gary Grogan serves one day Wolf numbers up? as guest chaplin in Washington, D.C. By beth zumwalt Pike Press Rev. Gary Grogan, a Pittsfield native and a 1969 graduate of Pittsfield High School, was honored last week by being asked to be guest chaplain of the day for the U.S. House of Representatives. Grogan is currently the lead pastor of the Stone Creek Church in Urbana, a post he has held for more than 25 years. “It was quite an honor,” Grogan said. “I got to fly out a day before and take a V.I.P. tour of the Library of Congress, the Capitol and the White House. No, I didn’t get to meet the president, but I did get to tour some rooms not normally open to the public.” Grogan said he was invited to Washington after one of Rep. Rodney Davis’s staffers, who lives near Urbana, asked him if he would be interested. “The elders of my church were gracious enough to let me go,” Grogan said. “They have you fly out the day before to make sure you are there. They don’t want to be stuck with no one being there.” Grogan said he had the opportunity to meet approximately 100 representatives and have private prayer

with approximately a dozen of the members. Rep. Davis gave a short bio on Grogan before House Leader John Boehner introduced him. “The Rev. Gary Grogan has been the lead pastor at Stone Creek Church in Urbana for more than 25 years,” Davis said. “He has turned Stone Creek into a multi-ethnic congregation focusing on justice and community outreach.” Davis outlined the community outreach programs including the fundraisers the church has for the educational community facilities, assisting victims of sex trafficking, supporting veterans returning from Afghanistan and providing medical supplies in times of natural disasters. He quoted Proverbs 11:25, a verse that says, “Those that refresh others will also be refreshed.” Davis said Grogan had spent a lifetime refreshing others. Grogan said he a once offered prayer in 2012 before the Illinois General Assembly. Prior to going to Washington, he was required to send a copy of what he intended to say so he sent a tape of the 2012 prayer. Officials said that prayer was more than 400 words long and

this prayer needed to be approximately 150 words and be submitted in writing. “When I got there I met the house chaplain and he said he trusted me, so I could ad lib a little if I wanted to,” Grogan said. “But he told me to keep it short.” In his prayer, Grogan stood at the lectern used by the president when he addresses the House and also used the stairs and hallway that the president uses, which he said was quite an honor. His prayer was brief as directed. Grogan thanked God for “those who are the stewards of our government. Those who are willing serve under grueling public scrutiny.” He also asked that they be given wisdom, grace and fortitude. The prayer continues with Grogan asking for God’s guiding hand as “we move past our failures, sins, and our humanity. To do what we cannot do.” He prayed the session would be a time of humility and healing and that those assembled would lay down their own differences to unite the country. “Even as your son, Jesus Christ, lay down his life for us, for the greater purpose,” Grogan prayed.

“Help our government and our government officials lay down their own agendas for the greater good, the under-served, for caring for the disenfranchised.” Grogan closed his prayer by asking that God protect those men and women serving from “the unreasonable who would seek to hurt them or their families. Bless the United States of America.” Grogan said he stayed on the floor of the session until about 4:30 p.m. and flew out of Washington later that night. He called the experience quite and honor but said he was unchanged by it. “It will be recorded in the Congressional history and that’s pretty cool,” Grogan said. “I’m still just an old Pike County boy.” Grogan lives in the Urbana area with his wife. They have two grown children and five grandchildren. Grogan frequently comes to Pittsfield to visit family members who live here. “I am also coming back this summer for my 45th class reunion,” he said. “Then the next morning I will be preaching at my home church, the Pittsfield Assembly of God.” C

By beth zumwalt Pike Press Is the Illinois wolf population on the rise? Experts seem to think the once prominent presence in Illinois could be returning. According to the Illinois Department of Natural Resources, sightings have gone from rare to rather frequent, especially in the state’s northern areas. Dan Perez of Whitetails Trophy in Pittsfield says he has seen no indication of it here or in the northern part of the state. “We have properties all over and we have some in the northern part of the state,” Perez said. “We have cameras on a lot of our properties and so far we have seen nothing.” Perez said he has heard of none being hit by cars or being caught in any traps. Rick Rodhouse of Pleasant Hill says he believes they are in the area, although he has not seen one or talked to anybody who has. “For years they have told us there are no cougars, no mountain lions, no wolves,” he said. “Now there is a law

against shooting a wolf. If there are not here, why do we have a law protecting them?” Seth Hall of New Canton has an answer to that question. Hall was hunting coyotes in 2005 when he shot, at 200 yards, what he thought was a coyote. It was a wolf. (See, wolves, A2)

Pike County residents looking to take Drones advantage of concealed carry law By robert lyons Pike Press Illinois State Police began accepting concealed carry permit applications Jan. 5, and 10 days later had received more than 22,000 requests. Twenty-six of those applications came from Pike County residents, according to ISP spokeswoman Monique Bond. But, that doesn't mean all 26 will soon be carrying a concealed weapon, she said. "Those applications have passed the first phase of the process. That means the paperwork is complete and there is no information missing," Bond said on Jan. 14. "However, these applications must still undergo the 30-day law enforcement objection period and the extensive criminal background checks. So, realistically, at the end of the day some of these applications could be denied." The objection period gives each county's sheriff an opportunity to monitor who is applying in their respective counties, and notify ISP of known issues with particular applicants.

"Obviously, that the opportunity to object exists is good. But the downside is going to be that it's a way for the state to get out of its responsibility," Pike County Sheriff Paul Petty said. Petty said he believes if the state approves an applicant that turns out to be problematic, the state will try to hold local officials accountable. Further, he said trying to monitor who is applying for the permits requires constant effort since he is not notified when new applications are received. Instead, he must login to a state-run website to view the names of applicants. Those who ultimately are granted the right to carry a concealed weapon are taking on a major responsibility, Petty said. He said knowledge and training are the best way to prepare for carrying a gun. "Take the opportunity to read and know what the limitations are," he said. The sheriff, who has long been a supporter of concealed carry, said county residents should not fear the new law. "There were people carrying prior to this legislation, and in my

opinion, that would be far more concerning," he said. "Now that we're aware of it I'm not sure the concern is any graver than it was. The difference is, it's probably more responsible than it was." As the year goes on and concealed carry applications continue to come in, Petty said he'll be interested to see how close to the initial estimate of 400,000 applications across the state are actually received. But, like Bond, just because people apply, Petty does not believe they will necessarily have weapons on them. "I think you'll find that just because a person has a carry conceal permit does not mean he is carrying and concealing, or that she's carrying and concealing," he said. Concealed carry was approved by state legislators in July 2013, with ISP administering the application and permit process. Applicants must receive a minimum of 16 hours of training from an approved instructor. The permit costs $150 and is valid for five years. To find instructors, or more information on concealed carry, visit cc4illinois.com.

Offering application assistance State Representative C.D. Davidsmeyer (R-Jacksonville) is inviting residents of the 100th District to contact his Jacksonville office for help in filling out the online application for a concealed carry license. “The State Police are only accepting online applications at this time,” Davidsmeyer said. “I know that not everyone who wants to apply for a license has access to the internet, so I am making the resources of my office available for those who wish to sign up.” Anyone wishing to apply for a license should call Davidsmeyer’s office at (217) 243-6221 to schedule an appointment. The office will be open from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. weekdays. Davidsmeyer’s office is located at 325 W. State Street in Jacksonville.

New Illinois laws now on the books

By beth zumwalt Pike Press Every year hundreds of new laws go into effect Jan.1 and 2014 was no exception. A few of the laws this year will have an impact on more than just hardened criminals. The increase of the speed limit to 70 miles an hour on all rural interstates has caused much confusion. Previously the law had been 65 m.p.h. Even though the law went into effect Jan.1, driving 70 m.p.h. is not allowed unless the roadway is posted as a 70 m.p.h. roadway. And with the extreme weather, not all of the roadways have had the signage replaced. Prior to 2014, drivers of single vehicles were prohibited from texting on their cell phone but now are also prohibited from talking on them. “Only hands free devices are allowed to be used in a vehicle,” Mike Kindhart, safety officer with the Illinois State Police, said. The only exemption to this law is law enforcement, first responders

and drivers reporting emergencies, while parked along the roadway. Dennis Jennings, chief of the Pittsfield Police Department, says his agency has issued several warnings but has yet to issue a citation. “Like any new law, we try to allow for an educational period,” Jennings said. “Most of the people we stop say they just forgot. They say, ‘Oh, my gosh, I was on my phone, wasn’t I.’ Others see you coming and slam it down. We will be getting strict on it after a brief introductory period.” The fine for a first offense is $75, second offense, $100 and $125 for a third. Fines after that would be $150. Penalties for distracted drivers who injure others or cause fatal crashes by the use of a cell phone would face a Class A misdemeanor which could result in fines up to $2,500 and less than a year of jail time. Drivers involved in fatal accidents could be charged with a Class 4 felony, which carries fines up to $25,000 and up to three years jail time. The lives of those who smoke

just got a little more complicated. As of Jan. 1, cigarette butts are considered litter and improperly discarded cigarettes can result in a $50 littering fine. “As long as they are thrown away in an appropriate trash container, citizens should not have any concerns about being ticketed,” Carrie Boyd, Pike County State’s Attorney, said. Boyd also said there are new laws associated with the reporting of sexual abuse cases. Failure to report knowledge of those types of offenses the first time is a misdemeanor and subsequent failures can be considered Class 4 felonies. “Sadly, the failure to report is the real issue and the reasons are varied as to why individuals with knowledge of child sex abuse fail to report the abuse to the proper authorities,” Boyd said. “ Some folks just don’t want to get involved and others are fearful of retaliation or harm. I am hopeful this law will help make it clear that child sexual abuse cannot be tolerated and that it must be reported to protect our most vulner-

able citizens.” Boyd said she was also pleased to see penalties associated with domestic violence have been strengthened. “Domestic battery is now a Class 4 felony for a defendant with one or two prior convictions; it is a Class 3 felony if a defendant has three prior convictions for domestic violence and a Class 2 felony if there are four or more convictions.” Boyd also said the concealed carry law that went into affect Jan.1 has caused many new laws to be implemented. “Anyone with questions is welcome to call the Pike County State’s Attorney’s office,” she said.

(Continued from A1) Hoffman, though, wonders about what would happen to an over-zealous drone operator breaking FAA rules while obtaining aerial footage. “Who then will police PETA’s violations?” he asked. While the Illinois Department of Natural Resources (IDNR), could not speculate on how aerial footage from the PETA drones would have been handled if the law had not passed making the drones illegal, hunters in Illinois following rules and regulations can breathe a little easier knowing that hunter harassment is prohibited in Illinois. “There are hunter harassment statutes on the books, that prohibit folks from interfering with legal hunting activities,” IDNR spokesman Tim Schweizer said. Schweizer also issued a reminder for those considering breaking the rules: “When our officers receive a tip, any tip, on illegal activity…they will follow up the best they can.”

NEWS

And while the law states that drones cannot be used to “interfere with another person’s lawful taking of wildlife or aquatic life,” there still could potentially be some eyes in the sky. This law “…does not apply to actions performed by authorized employees of the Department of Natural Resources, duly accredited officers of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, sheriffs, deputy sheriffs, or other peace officers if the actions are authorized by law and are necessary for the performance of their official duties.” The law also goes on to state that “… landowners, tenants, or lease holders exercising their legal rights to the enjoyment of land, including, but not limited to, farming and restricting trespass,” are also exempt. Complete FAA regulations on drones can be viewed at http://www. faa.gov/news/fact_sheets/news_ story.cfm?newsId=14153.

Wolves (Continued from A1) “At that time there was no law against shooting them,” Hall said. “They called it an accidental shooting because they were not listed as a species in Illinois.” Hall was not arrested for the shoot, but was told that now it is known that wolves can be in the area, it is the shooters responsibility to know at what he is shooting. Wisconsin, the state’s neighbor to the north, reportedly has around 1,000 known wolves and the wolf is known to roam as much as 250 miles from its home, especially if it is a young male looking for its own territory. Although most of Wisconsin’s wolves reside in the northern portion of that state, they are reportedly moving south, so sightings in Illinois are

being predicted. Perez said the bobcat and coyote numbers are flourishing, which is bad news for the deer herd. “Research shows that 50 percent of the fawn herd is taken by coyotes,” Perez said. “And with the EHD disease here the last three years, a coyote doesn’t have to travel far to find a good meal. There are deer carcasses everywhere.” Perez says his recommendation would be to open the coyote season up. The season runs during the winter months, along with deer season. He says he would also instigate more trapping of bobcats and coyotes. “If they would extend the season from now until spring and implement more trapping, it would take the pressure off of the fawn herd,” he said.

Bob White is People’s Choice By beth zumwalt Pike Press Hopewell Winery, near Summer Hill, had the honor of having its most popular white wine picked as the People’s Choice in the Quincy Area Convention and Visitor’s Bureau Lucky 7 Wine Contest. “It was the heavy favorite,” Holly Cain of the QACVGG, said. “We sent out more than 3,000 brochures.” The other favorite wines were: Baxter's Concord, Lake Hill's Chocolate Strawberry, Spirit Knob's Bluff Breeze & Magenta, Village Vineyard's Moscato, Ridge View's Edelweiss, Collver Family's Riesling. “We included the Mt. Sterling Winery, even though they are not in our area,” Cain said. “We have heard unofficially that our area is going to be put on the wine trail. That would include these wineries in with approximately 100 others.” Cain the said the day of the contest was a great day, with lots of fun had by all who participated. “We had people from three states and numerous communities, “ she said. Jeremy Wombles of Hopewell said he was pleased with being awarded the people’s choice although not too surprised. “It’s very popular,” he said. “It is our best selling wine. We often pair it with food or it is good by the glass or by the bottle.”

They think, “Who would want this stuff?” Gross says his company does. Gross went on to say another increasingly popular way to take advantage of his team’s services is to call and set up a home visit. “Some people might let this opportunity slip past them due to a lack of mobility or other limiting factors.

Goewey said. Goewey stated that the water pipes in Griggsville are somewhere around 70 years old. Each time a pipe has busted, it has been patched but the city is working to raise money to replace them. "We started last year with applying for a design grant," he said. The grant is through the state of Illinois for around $55,000 and would allocate the city money from both federal and state funds.

The state of Illinois has yet to announce who will be receiving these grants but Goewey has hopes that the recipients will be named soon since the 2014 grant application program is nearing its deadline. Even if the city of Griggsville does not receive the money from the grant, Goewey says they will be working to fix the problem when the weather gets better. "As soon as the spring breaks, we'll try to do what we can with the funds we have available," Goewey said. "Bear with us."

By JEANETTE WALLACE Pike Press Griggsville-Perry School board discussed the dates for this spring's graduation at its meeting Wednesday, Jan. 15. While only two snow days have been used so far this year, members of the board had to keep in mind that school could be extended longer than normal if

all the snow and emergency days are used. "If we use all of our emergency days, we would actually be in school till May 30," Andrea Allen, Griggsville-Perry superintendent, said. Allen explained that the board came to the decision to keep the graduation dates around the same time as they normally are. Junior high promotion ceremonies will

be held Thursday, May 22 at 7 p.m. and high school graduation will be Friday, May 23 at 7 p.m. The board also employed Pollee Craven as junior high volleyball coach for the 2013-2014 season. After the meeting began, the board went into a 45 minute closed session to discuss required employee evaluations. The meeting adjourned at 8:06.

Three Pike County residents graduate Three students from Pike County earned academic degrees after the 2013 fall semester at Western Illinois University. Cody Sheppard of Pearl received a bachelor of science in engineering technology. Patrick Wesley O'Brien of Pittsfield

received a bachelor of science in agricultural business. John D. Webster of Rockport received a bachelor of science in agricultural science. Bachelor's degrees were awarded to nearly 625 graduates. Academic distinction was award-

ed to baccalaureate graduates who achieved high grade point averages. This includes Summa Cum Laude with a 3.90 GPA or higher on a 4.0 scale, Magna Cum Laude with a 3.75 to 3.89 GPA, and Cum Laude with a 3.6 to 3.74 GPA.

Council back to square one on Westfall house By beth zumwalt Pike Press The Pittsfield City Council thought their worries concerning a burnt out house on Crane Street were over. They were wrong. The matter was discussed at last night’s city council meeting. The house burned last July and has sat in a state of disrepair since that time. “The neighbors are complaining and I don’t blame them,” John Hayden. At a meeting in December,

Hayden reported an individual was interested in buying the property as it and restoring it to an inhabitable dwelling. Since that time, the interested buyer has learned there are several liens on the property and maybe a tax situation as well. “He’s out,” Hayden said. “We are back to square one.” The council voted to file suit immediately hoping to get the owner to clean it up. Under some circumstances the city could go in and clean the property itself and file a lien to recoup their

costs, but with previous liens existing, the council was reluctant to “get in line.” Mike Hollahan, city attorney, said he could file the summons in the next 30 days and the owner would have 30 days to respond. Hayden and city inspector Tom Reinhardt were going to check ordinances to see if there was an emergency abatement provision when there is a nuisance or health risk involved. All council members were present except Kevin Wombles.

I’M SICK OF THIS STUFF!

Our View Drones

In the meantime, it is well for all concerned to remember that there can be a third party to all this air activity. The Illinois Department of Natural Resources (IDNR) reminds everyone that in our state, all credible tips of illegal hunting activity will be investigated. We assume that means either an illegal hunter or an illegal hunter harasser. Finally, keep in mind that the new law curbing drone activity does not apply to IDNR and other law enforcement agencies. If you notice an “eye in the sky,” it could well belong to law enforcement. The good news is that all our careful, outdoor loving and law-abiding outdoorsmen have nothing to fear, either from PETA or the long arm (and eye) of the law. But stay tuned – the next show on the sci-fi sportsmen’s channel may well be “Invasion of the Robots Disguised as Deer”!

Those squiggly light bulbs

he other day I found myself standing on a bed changing a light bulb on a ceiling fixture. My 3-year-old Caitlin asked me, “What are you doing, Daddy?” I replied, “Changing a light bulb.” She then asked her favorite question, “Why?” I wish I knew the answer to that one. You see, the bulb I was replacing was one of those squiggly energy efficient types that are supposed to last at least five years. But this one burned out in less than one year. You could say I learned my lesson and won’t replace it with that type of bulb again. But, unfortunately, it doesn’t work that way. Beginning Jan. 1, the U.S. government began phasing out 60 watt and 40 watt incandescent light bulbs. Last year, it did away

with 100 watt incandescent bulbs. So we are stuck with what the government says we can have – not necessarily what we want. I know, I know, I can hear the chorus of voices saying, “Scott, it’s only a light bulb.” But it reflects a broader question in our society. Where should power rest – with the individual or with government? Given a chance, most people make wise choices. If florescent bulbs were superior to incandescent bulbs, folks would gravitate toward using them on their own – because they know over time they will save money with lower electric bills. Instead, government made the choice for us. To be more precise, the decision was made in 2007 by Congress and then-President George W. Bush. But this sort of government-knows-best interference isn’t limited to light bulbs.

Just this year, Hawaii outlawed plastic shopping bags. And some folks would like the Land of Lincoln to follow suite. Shouldn’t a question as basic as “paper or plastic?” be left in the hands of the consumer rather than some state bureaucrat? I shop at some stores where no bags are provided. The savings are passed on to the consumer. At other times, when I shop for groceries, I ask for paper sacks because they can be reused as canvases for my daughters’ latest coloring masterpieces. My wife usually asks for plastic bags because they make excellent repositories for wet swimsuits and other messes produced by our children. In other words, we have found ways as consumers to reduce and reuse without any interference from government.

It’s amazing how society can benefit from individuals making wise economic decisions for themselves. And yet, politicians continue to wade into the minutia of our daily lives and try to make decisions for us. Former New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg tried to ban the sale of sugary drinks larger than 16 ounces. His reasoning? Pop makes people fat. Well, Mayor, people can count calories for themselves and make decisions on what’s best for them. They don’t need an autocratic billionaire making those decisions for them. We need to be free to choose. –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– n Scott Reeder is a veteran statehouse reporter and the journalist in residence at the Illinois Policy Institute.

Tax relief finally in sight for Illinoisans

his weekend marks the three-year anniversary of the 2011 state income tax increase. But the anniversary also marks another milestone for taxpayers: we are just one year away from tax relief. Illinois taxpayers currently fork over 5 percent of their paycheck to the state. Politicians like to say that 5 percent of your household income isn’t much. Many believe the Illinois tax rate should be much higher. But say your family has the average Illinois household income of $75,000. After a few deductions, your state tax bill can total roughly $3,500. But paying your state tax bill doesn’t leave you with $71,500 in the bank. You pay your state tax bill on top of paying city taxes, school district taxes, park district taxes, federal taxes, health care costs, food expenses and spending money to keep a roof over your family’s heads. Bottom line: it doesn’t leave you with much. But finally, in 2015 Illinoisans will see

tax relief. The state income tax rate is slated to drop to 3.75 percent in January 2015. Illinois’ sky-high business taxes – which recently prompted OfficeMax to move its headquarters to Florida – are scheduled to decrease, as well. It’s long awaited and welcome news for our economy. When the tax hike was passed, lawmakers justified it by saying the money would be used to pay off an $8.5 billion backlog of bills and fix the state’s lagging economy. By summertime, when the current fiscal year for state government ends, Illinois politicians will have collected more than $25 billion from the 2011 state income tax increase. Coupled with a few solid reforms, that would have been more than enough money to pay down the state’s debts, yet a backlog of bills remains and the state economy remains in shambles. It’s not just the economic indicators talking; a We Ask America poll commissioned by the Illinois Policy Institute found that

more than 70 percent of Illinoisans surveyed feel the 2011 tax hike has neither helped Illinois’ finances nor improved the state’s economy. Illinois politicians don’t want to be held accountable for that truth, so as we approach tax relief they’ll once again cry poor. Or better yet, they’ll say it’s time to pass additional “tax reform” – because they know Illinoisans are tired of tax “hikes.” What will this supposed “reform” look like? There’s a plan in Illinois to swap out the state’s constitutionally protected flatrate income tax for a progressive tax that would force taxpayers to pay higher tax rates as their income increases. Say you earn $58,000. You work hard. You pay your taxes. Finally, in recognition of your hard work, you get a promotion, or maybe a raise. Under state Rep. Naomi Jakobsson’s (D-Champaign) tax-hike plan, you’d be forced to send a larger portion of your new income to the tax man. That’s be-

cause under a progressive tax, as you start to improve your income, Illinois state government would get a bigger cut. This isn’t what Illinois taxpayers want. The same We Ask America poll also found only 33 percent of Illinoisans surveyed support a progressive income tax. Politicians should take notice. We don’t want more taxes. We want money in our pockets so we can spend it in our communities and on our families, and so we can get our businesses growing again. Instead of increasing taxes again, politicians should keep their promise to reduce the income tax rate for all Illinois taxpayers in 2015. Politicians have already raked in more than enough money from the 2011 tax hike; let’s not give them a penny more. –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– n Benjamin VanMetre is senior budget and tax analyst at the Illinois Policy Institute.

Letter to the editor Uncommon thoughts on Common Core

Manufacturing a product requires uniformity. It requires that any specific unit meet rigid specifications so that any one unit of a given product when pulled off an assembly line will be identical within specifications and performance. This process assures the end user that the product will perform uniformly in the task for which it was designed. When it comes to human beings uniformity is not what nature seeks, rather within the biological sphere a measure of uniformity with diversity is the rule. The wolf pack has uniformity but within the wolf pack some individuals develop into leaders and others followers. It could be determined by genetics or environmental factors, probably both. In the educational environment the federal government is precluded by law from interfering with state level curricula and standards. It is “uniformly” the nature of governments that they wish to control whatever they can. It will assume this control on every level by whatever means available. In the case of education it would appear to me that the ultimate desire is to “produce” the model citizen, compliant and obedient and productive with the least amount of diversity. Each citizen unit would go about its daily activity as determined by the “Swartzman-Heimlichen” test (I made it up) which determines the best ability of individual serial number 00000-0000. Failure to perform to the standard would be a failed product. Now since the feds are mandated by law not to directly control or effect educational curricula and objectives other means must be found that could generate the influence needed to go around the law. Now comes big business, which has

Think this sounds far fetched? Think again.

The key concept in both descriptions seems to be whether the activity is lawful or not. How can you tell if the hunting activity you’re spying on is lawful or not until you look? Undoubtedly, this will be something that the courts will have to decide.

Illinois has a new law that makes it illegal to use an aerial drone to harass an outdoor sportsman.

By comparison, the law says you can’t use a drone to interfere with a person’s “lawful taking of wildlife or aquatic life.”

Poll Question A. Should build a new ambulance building as soon as possible. B. Should continue evaluating options. C. Should be very concerned about keeping the cost of the building affordable. 4. Should approach Illini Hosptial about the possibility of remaining at that location.

High tech in the great outdoors

As technology proliferates all around us, the laws that preserve “an even playing field” must keep pace. It seems likely that the motivation for this drone protection law stems from a product offered by the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) called an Air Angel. According to PETA, this drone will make it possible to obtain footage of “hunters engaging in illegal activity.”

a not-so-bad goal of generating a profit. Big business has found that information that the general public deems insignificant is in fact worth a fortune. Hence business will follow the citizens as they shop, do business, and participate in hobbies with a huge variety of interests. This information is then used to market to the consumer products in which they have an interest and it all adds up to big bucks. If you become a “person of interest” then big business will share your private and personal information with big government. Liberty on the other hand tends to take on the rough and tumble picture of organized chaos. It has been described as like trying to herd cats. Felines do not respond well to control and herding. They are independent and not really herd animals, like say for instance, sheep or cattle. It makes things so much easier to CONTROL if the product will perform in a uniform, predictable and well-trained group manner. Therefore for purposes of efficiency it is important that training take place early and be uniform in manner. Training obedience and compliance to the will of the master becomes the unstated goal. It becomes important to identify early those individual units who are not uniform and not compliant; people kind of like Samuel Adams, Patrick Henry, Thomas Jefferson, and James Madison, and well, you get it. These defective units will need special attention and special remedial training in order to assure compliance to the demands of the master. I would agree that training is important. I would declare that pounding children and school systems nationwide into one big uniform mold is counterproductive. Small can be beautiful. Small systems can adapt more easily to change. Large organizations tend to be slow to respond to mistakes and slow to respond to changes which may lead to improvement. Diversity in education, while still maintaining important

key educational basic goals, can be a good thing. It may make it more difficult to “manage” or “herd” from the top down but I would look to the past and see that a country has been built into the leader of the free world without top down centralized direction. I feel no need for big business or big government to spy on me and track me and follow my every move; in fact they need to stay out of my business both private and personal. I do not need or want these entities intruding in my life. One of my favorite authors, Robert A. Heinlein, wrote the following: “A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects.” I have so much respect for many of our local educators. Many have gone out of their way to help educate my kids. I don’t dare list them, I will leave someone out. I don’t think they need direction from on high from either George Bush’s program, No Child Left Behind, or the latest iteration to be promoted through the current administration known as Common Core, which is just another method of producing a product which is uniform and “common.” Sometimes uncommon is best.

The Coonridge Digest: Freida Marie Crump

Chilling sounds of snowy silence Greetings from the Ridge I was reading a brochure on our church’s upcoming couples’ retreat when the lights went out. We all have our stories of the Deep Freeze of 2014, and the fact that I’m alive puts me ahead of most folks, I suppose. But in spite of living in the 21st Century with the advantages of cordless vacuum cleaners and four-ply bathroom tissue, Mother Nature can still send us back to the Ice Age in the blink of an eye or the snap of a power line. And that’s just what happened on that sub-zero Sunday afternoon. Boom. Zap. Cold. Herb said, “Oh, it’ll be back on it a minute.” Herb was the same guy who predicted Newt Romney’s landslide victory. I said, “What if it doesn’t?” And in his Captain of the Titantic voice he assured that we’d have the power back any minute. Herb’s promised minutes continued to tick by as the house grew increasingly uncomfortable. Insulation had not been invented when our house was built and my husband insists that our forefathers existed without it and we

could as well. He neglects to mention that many of them died at the age of thirty-seven. “Herb, this is an emergency. We can’t get out of town to stay with somebody else and we may be stuck here tonight at ten below.” “We’ll have to snuggle up, Freida.” I briefly considered the alternative of dying of hypothermia. All in the world we had left in the house were two candles and a used sterno from Herb’s last fishing trip. An electric stove offers as much warmth as a non-electric husband. “Herb, go start the car. We can’t stay in here.” He told me it was too cold to go outside. “There’s only ten degrees difference between out there and in here. Start the stupid car!” I bundled him up like an inflated lint ball and rolled him out the front door then rushed around the house turning on all the water taps. Herb returned in five minutes with a newsy announcement. “Dern. It’s cold out there.” The man never ceases to amaze me with the depth of his perception. So as the sun slowly sank on Coonridge, the Crumps shuffled their way to their awaiting Nissan. We bought

the car because it was economical with little regard for the fact that we might be spending a cold evening in its cramped quarters. What do you do with a husband with whom you’ve been hooked for untold decades, sitting in tiny car and watching a snow storm bury your entire town? Cell phone usage is a joke in Coonridge. Our cell service is like our tavern allotment . . . we only get one bar. This means you own a phone that you can’t use and you might be able to send a text if the wind’s in the right direction. I’ve never texted in my life but this was an emergency so I pulled out my phone to check on my snowbound relatives. I own the world’s oldest cell phone. I think it’s keroseneoperated. And I still have no idea how to erase something I’ve punched in so my message was something like, “doo you89 have lectricty295? fre90da.” I was embarrased to push send fear that my cousin would not only assume that I was freezing to death but drunk as well. There I sat . . . stuck in a tiny car buried in the blizzard of the century with a husband with whom I’d already discussed everything I’d ever cared to talk about. I turned on the local radio station to see if we’d be buried alive by the

forecast but our only local station broadcasts rock music and I opted for freezing to death over death by rock and roll. And that’s when it occurred to me. Although Herb and I have spent untold years in wedded conjunction, we never sit in silence. We eat breakfast to the accompaniment of the Today Show, lunch to the local news, supper to the national news, and at bedtime I put in earplugs to drown out the old coot’s nasal chainsaw. On that bone chilling evening we were stuck simply sitting beside each other and staring out onto a darkened, snowy street. I pulled out the only reading material I’d brought with me, the brochure on our couples’ retreat, and read aloud to Herb “Three idyllic days alone with your spouse, getting to know your soulmate intimately in a setting secluded from all the hustle and bustle of the world.” I looked at Herb. Herb looked at me. I used the brochure to scrape the ice off the window. 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 50 Years ago: Ground broken for nursing home on east edge of pittsfield 125 Years Ago Jan. 17, 1889 Winter has been a long time a coming, but it has come now and brought with it quite a snowstorm. Miss Blanche Massie of New Canton spent Jan. 4 with Emma Allen of Hull. She was on her way to the Illinois Female College at Jacksonville, where she is attending school this year. The revival at the German M.E. church in Pittsfield now in progress will continue during the week. The present term of county court is proving a terror to the gay gamboliers and the illicit vendors of that which intoxicates. Lots of them are coming to grief. Quite an error was committed last week by some of our ladies who attended a ball in Springfield, supposing it to be a full dress party, when it turned out to be an undress one. The old Griggsville steamboat landing, some 78 or more acres, was sold at sheriff’s sale yesterday to John King. The sale brought to town many prominent men interested in river navigation. The Loan and Building Association made its first loans Monday night. 100 Years Ago Jan. 21, 1914 A dental exam was recently administered in the Pittsfield public schools. The result: 22% were declared to have good sanitary conditions in the mouth; 32% were fair; 39% bad and 7% very bad. The best conditions were found in the second grade, and the worst conditions were found in the high school. County Superintendent of Schools

Hollis last week received Pike county’s apportionment of the special school tax fund of $3,000,000 voted by the legislature. Pike county received $13,944, of which $840 will go to the Pittsfield school district. Blue Jacket, the big Indian, who at one time played with the Pittsfield ball club, has signed up with the Bloomington Bloomers again for the coming season. The reception for the new pastor Wetzel and family at the Christian church Thursday night was a most delightful function. Over 400 folks, representing the various churches in the city, were in attendance. Delicious refreshments of ice cream, cake and coffee were served in the prettily decorated dining room.

when Milton swamped New Canton 51-25 on the Milton floor Friday night. Some of the Milton fans declare that their team is not as good as last year, yet two stars of last year, Lemons and Tiny Parks, are piling up some awful high scores. A wild battle took place last Wednesday night when Nebo came for their annual basket ball game. The last few minutes was a wild finish, with the score 24-23 in favor of Pittsfield. A last second shot by Nebo just missed going in. The first real snow of the season fell Saturday night and Sunday morning , the ground being covered to a depth of probably three inches. It was a wet snow, as the temperature was not very cold.

75 Years Ago Jan. 18, 1939 Government checks, totaling approximately $63,600, are now being distributed to Pike county farmers who complied with the government farm program last year. John Codd of New Canton has been employed as the commercial teacher in Pittsfield Community high school to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of Lee Brace last week. A group of Pittsfield men and women will meet at the Rainbow Restaurant next Monday to discuss business promotion ideas for the welfare of the community. R. L. Harp, Ben Niebur, Tom Binns and Karl Geisendorfer are making the plans for the meeting. One of the outstanding wins in Pike county basket ball last week was

Ground was broken for the new 74-bed Assembly of Homes nursing home at the east edge of Pittsfield. Several guests turned a spadeful of dirt, including Mayor Frank E. Penstone, U.S. Rep. Paul Findley, C. J. Voelker, Don Sloan, C. W. Aldrich, , Manley Moody and Cecil Burrows. The temperature in Pittsfield Tuesday was 60 degrees, just nine degrees less than that of Miami, Florida. It got so warm in the Democrat-Times office that the girls had the front door open! Thunderstorms are predicted for tonight. District 10 had their annual winter dinner for the elementary school prin-

cipals at the Steak House in Pittsfield. Attending were J. Harold Voshall, Unit 10 Superintendent; Tom Ray, principal of Rockport school; C. I. Bethel, principal of Pearl school; Don Simmons, principal of Baylis school; Austin Herst, principal of East Pike school; Otto Vannatta, principal of New Salem school; and Richmond Prentice, Dist. 10 curriculum coordinator. Mr. and Mrs. John F. Moore of Pittsfield announce the engagement of their daughter, Becky Elaine, to Phil L. Hoover, son of Mr. and Mrs. Jim Hoover of Pittsfield. Becky is a 1962 graduate of Pittsfield high school and attended Gem City Business College. Phil is a 1958 graduate of East Pike high school and is engaged in farming. The Pleasant Hill Wolves dropped their first basketball game of the season Saturday night, as they fell short in a fourth quarter rally, and bowed to Lincoln High of East St. Louis 49-43 on the winner’s court. 25 Years Ago Jan. 18, 1989 High school students from every school district in Pike County may be taking advanced math, science and language courses by satellite TV when school starts this fall through the “STAR” education network system.

The Pittsfield city council moved ahead with a plan to control city lake sedimentation. Dams will be erected to reduce sedimentation, but the most important feature of the program will be the private landowners and how they farm their land. Conservation farming practices and the Conservation Reserve Program are expected to help reduce the sediment coming into the lake, which provides the city water supply. Carl Deemer of Pittsfield has been chosen as the 1988 Conservation Farmer of the Year by the Soil and Water Conservation District Directors. Carl farms 200 acres of highly erodible land just west of the “Y” intersection of highways 36 and 54 in central Pike County.

Donates because she knows By BETH ZUMWALT Pike Press Emma Cammack recently donated her hair to Pantene to be used for someone who has lost their hair due to a medical condition. “I feel this is significant because when she was 10 months old, she got bacterial meningitis,” Susan Cammack, her mother, said. “ I just thought she had a stomach flu. She was fully vaccinated and so I thought protected. Cammack said she watched as her daughter kept getting worse with her fever going higher and higher. “By the third day I knew something was very wrong,” Cammack said. “I took her to the doctor and he immediately told me to take her to Blessing. It's a good thing he

did because that night she crashed. She aspirated, had a febrile seizure and quit breathing. It took them five hours to get her stable!” Emma was transferred to St. Louis via what her mother calls a terrifying ambulance ride and was in the PICU at St. Louis Children’s Hospital for 11 days and out on the regular floor another five. And what should have turned out to be the best day of the episode, also turned out to be the worst – the doctors told her mother she was profoundly deaf. “The story does have a happy ending though,” Cammack said. “A month, to the day, later she was implanted with Cochlear implants. She is currently attending South School in Pittsfield and basically on target with her peers. She is doing so

well with her Cochlear implants! The doctors did not think she would ever do this well.” Cammack says she feels her family was very lucky. “She could have come out of this so much worse than she did,” Cammack said. “She could have been blind, she could have had severe brain damage, she could have been deaf and blind. So we count our lucky stars and thank God everyday.” Emma wasn’t sure she wanted to cut her hair short but when her mother told het it would help someone else, she was on-board. “I told her we could help a really sick person feel better she loved the idea. She doesn't remember what happened to her, nor will she ever, but she still loves to help anyone she can,” Cammack said.

Insider tips for winter travel Winter has much to offer the eager traveler, including smaller crowds and entirely new scenery to admire. Cooler weather can make sightseeing more enjoyable, as it is often easier to warm up than cool down. Although the summer season is popular for travel, the winter months also are a busy time to get away, and being prepared can make traveling go that much smoother. The following are some traveling tips for those who can't wait to get out of the house this winter. n Expect some setbacks.You never know what kind of weather you may encounter during your trip, therefore be ready to make changes at a moment's notice. Always check flight status or other travel information before leaving home. Weather may delay flights or cause cancellations, so have an alternative plan available if the weather foils the trip. n Avoid nonrefundable tickets. If weather causes a cancellation, nonrefundable or nonexchangeable tickets can cost you money. Try to get the best price possible on tickets while still affording yourself the opportunity to amend travel plans if need be. n Book early. Ski resorts are quite popular in the winter, and reservations tend to fill up fast. If you hope to ski or snowboard, make a reservation as early as possible and then shop around for flights or aternative travel methods. If you prefer smaller crowds, plan a trip to a destination that caters more to warm weather activities. Visiting a seaside town or national park can still be beautiful and fulfilling in the winter. n Get a physical. Visit the doctor and be sure you are up-todate with all immunizations. Now might be the time to get a flu shot, as traveling in close proximity to others during the wintertime increases your risk of contracting an airborne virus. Getting vaccinated can prevent illness from ruining your trip. n Pack accordingly. With fickle weather you may have to pack a number of different wardrobe options to remain comfortable. Check the weather and the extended forecast for your destination. Include a number of clothing pieces that can be layered so you will remain cozy outdoors. Bring along comfortable walking shoes, but also pack a pair of winter boots in case the weather turns wet or snowy. n Purchase travel insurance. Many people prefer to safeguard

their travel investments with the purchase of travel insurance. While there are a number of companies to contact, insurance also may be offered through your credit card company provided you use that card to finance the trip. Should you need to cancel a trip for weather or illness, travel insurance can protect your financial outlay and you may get a refund for the full price of the trip. Vacation insurance plans also may include enhanced emergency medical coverage, trip interruption coverage due to professional obli-

gations or involuntary job loss, or 24-hour travel assistance services. n Pack something to protect yourskin. Cold weather doesn't mean you don't need to protect your skin from the elements. The cold wind and winter sun are still powerful enough to cause damage. Wear ample sunscreen when traveling outdoors, and use a moisturizer to combat cold, dry air. Although many people flock to warmer climates in the winter, embracing the snow and chilly air and visiting a cool-weather destination can make for an ideal trip.

Federal inmate dies Advertise at Pike County Jail By beth zumwalt Pike Press The Pike County Sheriff’s Department is investigating the death of a federal inmate who was in custody at their facility in Pittsfield. According to Sheriff Paul Petty, Scott E. Roan, 41 of Quincy was found dead in the bathroom of the jail, an apparent victim of suicide. He was found Monday at 12:31 a.m. by a correctional officer making his rounds. Roan was awaiting sentencing in a 2013 federal case for knowingly and intentionally possessing with the intent to distribute methamphetamine Roan was booked into the Pike County Jail Feb.13, 2013 and had remained lodged at the Pike County Jail since his intake to the facility. Roan had numerous court appearances in the Central District Court in Springfield since his incarceration in Pike County and most recently had appeared the previous Wednesday prior to his death and had changed his plea from innocent to guilty at that court appearance. Roan was scheduled to re-appear within six weeks to be sentenced which was subject to a lengthy prison sentence. At the time of the incident, the facility had on site a 9-1-1 dispatcher, a correctional officer, two deputies, one Pittsfield city policeman and an Illinois State trooper. Response to the incident was immediate. Video cameras cover a great deal of the facility including hallways, day rooms, and other areas of the facility; however, video cameras are not in individual cells. Preliminary investigations have led authorities to believe that Roan took his own life and no foul play is

expected. Roan had been at the facility for over 11 months and was described as a model inmate who was polite and courteous to the staff during his incarceration. It is the policy and procedure of the Pike County Sheriff that outside investigators are called in to investigate incidents such as this in the facility. The Illinois State Police General Investigative Unit responded and were on scene quickly along with the Illinois State Police Crime Scene Technician. Petty further requested the assistance of Adams County Coroner Jim Keller to conduct the coroner investigation on his behalf as Petty serves as coroner for Pike County . An autopsy was performed Tuesday morning with results pending upon completion of toxicology. The deceased was removed from the facility by Coroner Keller to Adams County pending the investigation. “This is a very difficult situation to be a part of for family, staff, and other inmates,” Petty said. “We have turned over a great deal of documentation and will be concluding evidence collection as it relates to video and audio surveillance for the day and in some cases, the days leading up to Mr. Roan’s death. There is a great deal of review that will go on the next several weeks involving this case. It appears that all policy and procedures were followed in this case, but we will allow outside agencies to conduct a thorough investigation which we will cooperate 100% during such time. Upon completion, we will review all facts and evaluate any and all needs for improvement. Our prayers go out to the family during this most difficult time.”

Feds release info on search warrant By beth zumwalt Pike Press The search warrant federal authorities used to search the Pike County hunting cabin where a Belleview judge died last March has been filed and is therefore open for public inspection. The warrant is filed in the Southern District Federal Courthouse. “The feds have released the warrant and it shows what law enforcement knew at the time the request for the warrant was found as well as their reasoning for wanting the warrant,” Pike County Sheriff Paul Petty, who assisted in the investigation, said. The warrant and supporting documents show federal authorities seized a number of items from the cabin up the hill, across from Panhandle, near Pleasant Hill. Items seized included: a small box with white residue, a torn dollar bill with white residue, a glass plate, straw and razor and a sealed plastic bag with a syringe containing

a substance consistent with cocaine usage. The incident started March 10 after then judge Michael Cook called Pike County 9-1-1 and said he needed help, his friend and hunting partner was unresponsive. Emergency personnel responding to the cabin found Associate Judge Joe Cook dead on the bathroom floor, with his pants partially down. When Cook’s body was undressed at the autopsy, a vial of cocaine dropped out of the folds of his clothing. Further examination found both Cook and Christ’s DNA on the vial. Christ’s official cause of death was cocaine intoxication and the incident sparked a federal investigation into corruption at the Belleville Courthouse. Cook resigned as judge, entered rehab and has pled guilty to possession of heroin and is awaiting sentencing. A probation officer in the district also pled guilty to supplying the cocaine and is also awaiting sentencing.

Lady Saukees take fifth at NG By beth zumwalt Pike Press The Lady Saukees took fifth place at the Lady Spartan Classic after mounting a come from behind victory over the host team. The Lady Saukees fell behind 13- points in the first quarter after scoring only four points. But the second quarter turned things around for the girls as Rachel Clowers hit two treys and Katie Moore added another. All in all, the Lady Saukees trailed by only four at the half.

The girls continued their climb in the third but didn’t get the tie until early in the fourth quarter. Jalie Peebles grabbed an offensive rebound and tossed it back in to give the Lady Saukees their first lead of the game and the game belonged to P-PH after that. Jalie Clements and Clowers both had 11 points, Cady Klatt added 8, Peebles had 2, Moore ended with 7 and Allie Hoover had 5. Clements and Klatt received all-tournament honors. The girls will be in Griggsville

Hannant finds his sport By beth zumwalt Pike Press If there was ever a doubt in Kendal Hannant’s mind what his favorite sport to play is, it is settle now. After playing baseball in Florida over the Christmas break, Hannant’s heart is officially on the diamond. “I tried out for the Under Armor Baseball Factory back in the fall,” Hannant, a junior at GriggsvillePerry High School, said. “My best friend, Kaleb Bradshaw and I went to St. Louis after his dad heard about it.” Both Bradshaw and Hannant were chosen along with three other boys to go to Florida for four days and play baseball. Bradshaw elected not to go, due to basketball obligations, but Hannant said he had been wavering about playing basketball anyway and the opportunity swayed the scales. “It was amazing,” he said. “I loved it. My family went to the beach and did all this fun stuff and I got to play baseball.” Hannant said he was pleased with his treatment at the camp. “We were treated like professionals,” he said. “They gave us our stuff and then at night we would turn it in and they would do our laundry. We played baseball 13-hours a day with a one-hour break for lunch.” Hannant said there were 96 players at the camp, all whom had tried out at various tryout spots across the nation and abroad. “There were two kids there from Sweden,” Hannant said. “My roommate was from Minnesota.” Hannant said the first day each player was assigned a team. He was assigned to the Cincinnati Reds but was coached by a group of individuals from the Pittsburgh Pirates.

The Jerseyville Tournament is always tough and this year is no exception. The Pittsfield Saukees lost a heartbreaker to Alton Marquette Saturday, 58-49 in game that was much closer that the score shows. The Saukees led at the end of each of the first three quarters, 11-8, 19-18, 34-33 but were outscored by 10 in the final frame. Wayde Smith led the team with 16, Eli Petty had 9, Cameron Herring had 3, Rollie Filbert had 6, Corbyn Personett had 6 and Reese Ramsey had 2. Monday night versus Cakohia, the Saukees fell 55-31 despite trailing by only one at the half. Smith was again the leading scorer with 14, Quinn Leahy added 7, Filbert, 5, Personett, 3 and Herring 2.

Kendal Hannant, son of Kurt and Michele Hannant of Perry fields his position at first base in Florida in December. Hannant attended a camp in Bradington, Fla., which is near Tampa the week before Christmas after being selected at a try out in St. Louis.

“We took infield drills and hit a lot that first day,” he said. “After dinner at 5 p.m., we went back out and hit some more.” Game started early on the second say. Hannant played first base for most of his time in Florida, except for a short stint in center field, which he says he didn’t like much. “There was a lot of hitting and infield drills and pop fly drills,” he said. “It was very instructional.” Hannant said his team played two games the second day and had drills in-between and after those games. Day 3 was much of the same with athletic trainers showing the participants how to run faster, get better reads on the ball and be an overall better athlete. “There wasn’t a part of it I didn’t like,” he said. “Except the food. They served a lot of rice. I’m not a big fan of rice.” The fourth day, the teams were seeded into a tournament and “The Reds” had to play “The Yankees.” “We were the two bottom teams,”

Hannant said. “Almost every body there was a exceptional athlete.” For his time in Florida, away from the beach, Hannant got a number of free items including new ball spikes, a hat, a shirt, eye black and other Under Amour products. When asked if he would do it again, he said “ Yes – in June.” There is a similar opportunity for baseball players in June in Nebraska and both Hannant and Bradshaw plan to go. This camp is six-days long and is put on by the same people. Hannant realizes he had a wonderful opportunity and is anxious to do it again. “I had so many people support me in this,” he said. “My grandparents – Janice and Thomas Busby, Ed and Millie Hannant, Grandpa Johnson, and then the businesses, Ed Logan, IREC, Advantage Termite and Pest Control, U.S. Cellular, Murray Waters, Wyffels Seeds, Thieles garage, Ishmeal Construction. I couldn’t have done it without their support.”

We have conducted business all across the U.S. We have helped tens of thousands of people turn their items into cash. Over the years we have commonly heard people say, “I knew it was worth something but I didn’t know how to sell it.” This is your chance to find out, and possibly cash in big! Dump out your junk drawers, rake through your cushions, clean out your closet, wipe out your jewelry box, go through your attic and basement. This is your chance to get paid for doing house cleaning. With gold and silver prices as high as they are, many people are sitting on small fortunes that are completely overlooked. It isn’t uncommon for people to have hundreds or even thousands of dollars worth of gold and silver somewhere, just collecting dust. In most cases, it is something you have forgotten about, like those old broken necklaces, rings, class rings, earrings, watches, and even gold dental teeth. That collection of old coins that is in the lockbox, shoebox or old coffee can, that in some cases you haven’t seen for decades; is worth money! Many times, ladies will bring in bundles of tangled broken necklaces or costume jewelry that have been in the bottom of their jewelry boxes and leave amazed with how much money they received for them. Again, don’t hesitate to bring in broken or tangled jewrely, watches, etc. Coins can bring fantastic prices as well. It can be a small handful or a collection that you have inherited or accumulated over the years. Coins minted in the U.S. that are 1964 and older, are silver, like Washington quarters, Roosevelt and Mercury dimes. Also the Kennedy, Franklin, and Liberty half dollars. Actually the Kennedy half dollar contained silver all the way to 1970. Very popular are the old silver dollars, like the Morgan and Peace dollars. Some people also have gold coins, such as the $20, $10, $5, $2.5, and $1 gold pieces that can be worth exceptional premiums. It doesn’t have to be a gold or silver coin.

Seniors should be savy in spending By Beth Zumwalt Pike Press The downside to getting older includes achy joints, gray hair and wrinkles. The upside is there are huge opportunities for those, usually 55 and older, to rake in huge savings. According to a variety of sources, many restaurants, retailers, travel services and entertainment venues offer senior citizens discounts. Experts advise seniors to always ask if a senior discount is available. Not all businesses offer senior discounts but many give them only if you ask. Some discounts are available at 50 others have varying minimum ages such as 60, 62 or 65. “We have our Team 50 package,” Marci Freesen of United Community Bank, said. “It is for anyone 50 and over and offers free checks, no minimum balance required, free cashiers checks, free debit checks and free counter checks.” Freesen also said that the bank will make occasional copies or send faxes for seniors at no charge but not on a regular basis. “There is never a fee if it is banking business but we do it even if it’s not,” she said. Freesen said bank employees will also help seniors with simple matters, such as balancing their check book without the customary fee. Local restaurants range from

reduced prices on meals or drinks to free refills on drinks for seniors. Even the state of Illinois offers reduced prices to seniors A hunting license is normally $12.50 but for seniors the price is $6.50. Fishing licenses for seniors are $7.75 compared to the normal $15 fee. A combination hunting and fishing is $13.50,. The normal fee is $26.25. Seniors who qualify for the Circuit Breaker program may also receive a discount on their license plates paying $24 instead of the $101. “We don’t have anything to do with that,” Brooke Frazier, of the Pittsfield facility, said. “We just honor the coupon. We don’t have the forms or anything. They have to go to the senior citizen’s and get the paperwork” The program is based on age and financial eligibity and will provide other service and reductions in addition to license plates fees. Seniors also qualify for a variety of reductions on their property taxes. “Everyone who owns their home and it is their primary place of residence qualifies for the owner occupancy exemption,” Cindy Shaw, Pike County supervisor of assessments, said. “That takes up to $6,000 off as long as it doesn’t go below the 1977 base.” There is also the Homestead Exemption and the Homestead Freeze. Shaw explained the difference.

“The Homestead gives the property owner, who is living in the residence, an additional $4,000 off if they are 65 or older, Shaw said. “The Homestead Freese will freeze the tax at the rate of the prior year if the owner is 65, the property is their primary residence and they make less than $55,000 annually.” Shaw said the necessary paper work for those already enrolled in the exemption programs was late this year but has been received and letters and forms went out the first week in January. For anyone not currently enrolled, the property owner should apply at the supervisor’s office in the Pike County Government Building. “They don’t have to wait until they are actually 65,” Shaw said. “If they are going to turn 65 this year, they can go ahead and come in and apply.” Shaw said a deed for the property is necessary and employees of her office will help with the paperwork. “For those that are applying for the HomeStead Freeze, they will need to bring the front of the federal income tax form and if they don’t file federally, proof of their income, a bank statement showing where their Social Security check is deposited or something.” Shaw said financial information is kept in a locked drawer and not subject to the Freedom of Information Act.

Tips to get more for your money By Beth Zumwalt Pike Press Seniors are often offered the senior citizen discount, but experts say it never hurts to ask. On-line searches may yield more results than you think. Most commercial businesses, travel, restaurants, recreation, shopping, etc, may list their discount policy on-line. Others maybe listed with one of the web sites that cater to seniors such as SeniorDiscounts.com or Sciddy.com Both site allow the user

to search by city, state or zip code or by the category in which you are interested. Clubs, such as AARP sometimes partner with businesses to offer discounts to seniors as does the Senior Coalition or the American Seniors Association. Often time group of retired professional also get discounts such as those belonging to a retired teacher or other profession. Often times stores will offer senior discounts on certain days of the week, usually weekdays. According to Eric Noughton of the Pittsfield Farm and Home, the

store offers a senior discount on selected Tuesday. “Usually the Tuesday after a sale bill has gone out, we give our senior/ military discounts,” he said. All four school districts in Pike County offer senior discounts to athletic events and many museums, zoos, movie theatres also offer those reductions. All seniors over 62 are eligible for the American the Beautiful senior pass. The pass costs $10 and provides a lifetime of free access into all national parks and federal recreational lands.

Maintaining good back health Your back health is something that needs to be nurtured and maintained every day. If you follow these suggestions, you can help prevent back pain or injury. n No Slouching Poor posture will increase your risk of back injury. Having your shoulders located in front of your hips will cause you many problems. Slouching in your chair, driving hunched over and standing incorrectly causes misalignment of your spine and increases your risk for back injury. n Water, Water, and More Water Enough water keeps us fluid, rather than stiff. Drinking plenty of water enhances the height of intervertebral discs, keeping them the healthy shock absorbers they are. n Fit in Some Fitness Exercise and activity keep the muscles of the spine strong. The most important muscles to strengthen to avoid back pain are the abdominals. Include stretching in your fitness program to avoid stiffness. n Maintain a Healthy Weight

surfaces covered with snow or ice. To avoid falls on ice, men and women might want to take certain precautions. n Change the way you walk Adapting to the slippery conditions could help prevent some of the falls caused by snow and ice. When walking on ice, plant feet with toes facing outward slightly, and then shuffle along. Hunching over a little and extending arms outward will help to lower your center of gravity and also offer a little more stability. Take short, flat steps so that the heels and toes of your shoes stay in contact with the ground as much as possible and offer maximum surface contact. n Switch Shoes Flat shoes with rubber soles are more capable of gripping the ice than other types of shoes. Contrary to popular belief, clunky winter boots may make

Few families are fortunate enough to say they have not been impacted by Alzheimer's disease. A progressive, degenerative disease of the brain, Alzheimer's impairs thinking and memory, accounting for 50 to 80 percent of dementia cases according to the Alzheimer's Association. In 2011, 59-year-old Pat Summitt, the all-time winningest coach in NCAA basketball history and a beloved figure on the campus of the University of Tennessee, revealed that she had been diagnosed with early-onset dementia, Alzheimer's type. That announcement opened the eyes of men and women across the country, who might otherwise never have known that dementia could strike so early or to someone who seemed as healthy as Summitt, who vowed to continue coaching despite the diagnosis. Because it can strike men and

walking more difficult. Try rain boots instead, as rain boots typically have flatter soles. There also are many different types of shoe ice grips on the market that can be added to the soles of shoes. They easily slip on to offer more traction. Whenever possible, try to avoid shoes with already slippery soles or high heels. Carry these shoes with you and change after you are inside. n Treat walkways Keeping on top of falling snow can help alleviate slippery walkways. Use a combination of snowmelt and sand so that you can keep sidewalks clear. Falls on slippery surfaces can be quite dangerous. Avoid trips to the emergency room for broken bones or abrasions by slowing down, dressing appropriately and walking on paths that have been cleared of snow and ice.

Maintaining a healthy weight is generally an excellent way to prevent all kinds of diseases and discomforts. For the spine, being active helps one avoid compression and loading of the intervertebral discs, prevents postural abnormalities, such as anterior pelvic tilt, and interrupts a sedentary lifestyle. n Sleep Well Finding a sleeping position that works for you can help you avoid placing unnecessary strains on your back or neck. n Use a suitable support system – a mattress and pillow, not a couch or recliner n Avoid sleeping on your stomach n Sleep on your back with a pillow under knees or side-lying with a pillow between your legs n Sitting Properly n Feet flat on floor n Don’t cross legs – Ankles in front of knees n Keep a small gap between back of knees and front of seat n Knees at or below level of your hips n Adjust the backrest of your

Warning signs of Alzheimer's disease

Prevent slips and falls this winter

Winter is right around the corner. That means that most people will be trading in windbreakers and rakes for heavy coats and snow shovels. Winter can be a beautiful time of the year, but the snow and ice that covers the landscape in a pristine sheet of white can present certain hazards as well. Walking on ice can be extremely dangerous, particularly to those people who already may have mobility issues, such as the elderly. According to the National Safety Council, slips and falls are the single largest cause of emergency room visits. Slip and fall injuries also are the third largest cause of workplace injuries, says the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Many accidental falls occur from lack of stability or poor physical health. However, come winter, many falls can be attributed to walking on slippery

women even if they aren't elderly, it's important to know these warning signs of Alzheimer's, courtesy of the Alzheimer's Association and the Alzheimer Society of Canada. n Memory loss that disrupts daily life. Memory loss is one of the most common signs of Alzheimer's. This is especially so if men and women forget things that happened very recently, which can negatively impact their daily lives. Additional signs include forgetting important dates and events; asking for the same information over and over again; or relying on memory aides such as reminder notes or even family members for things individuals could once remember on their own. n Difficulty planning. Some people might start to exhibit difficulty following a plan or working with numbers, be it following a recipe or paying the monthly

bills. Concentration is often difficult for those exhibiting symptoms of Alzheimer's. n Disorientation with regards to time and/or place. Nearly everyone has had momentary lapses where they forget what time it is or what day it is. But such lapses are not momentary for people with Alzheimer's, who might even get lost on their own street and not remember how to get home. n Changes in mood and personality. People with Alzheimer's might experience mood swings for no apparent reason and can become anxious, confused, depressed, fearful, or suspicious. Acting out of character might also be indicative of Alzheimer's. More information about Alzheimer's disease is available at www.alz.org and www.alzheimer. ca.
