PCHD says more vaccine en route, announces cooperative agreement with Adams County ing categories: first responders, corrections, food and agriculture, postal service, manufacturing, grocery stores, public transit, education and daycare. “We are scheduled to receive 300 doses,” Bargmann said. “Some will be redistributed to Quincy Medical Group’s Pittsfield location and Illini Rural Health for vaccination of some of their patients. QMG and Illini will still have to follow CDC, IDPH and ACIP guidelines for who gets the vaccine.” PCHD also announced a new partnership with the Adams County Health Department (ACHD) to expand COVID-19 vaccination to Pike County residents 65-years and above. Supported by the Illinois Department of Public Health, the goal of this expanded vaccination site for Pike County residents is to assure older individuals who are more likely to become seriously ill from COVID infection are protected as soon as possible.

By DAVID CAMPHOUSE Pike Press Pike County Health Department (PCHD) announced it will receive another shipment of 300 doses of the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine this week. In determining which groups of the population are eligible to receive vaccinations, PCHD, according to Director of Nursing Sharon Bargmann, is following phased prioritization guidelines set forth by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH) and the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP). As a result, Pike County residents, or those who work in Pike County, who meet Phase 1B guidelines are now eligible to receive the vaccine. Those in Phase 1B include people aged 65 years and older and frontline essential workers. Frontline essential workers include workers in the follow-

Pike County celebrating 200 years all year By BETH ZUMWALT Pike Press The Pike County Bi-Centennial Committee has been busy since last fall planning for the 200th birthday of the county. “We are assuming Jan. 31 is the day the official papers were filed to make us a county,” Emily Pursley, a member of the committee, said. “Counties in Illinois formed in the south and worked their way to the north part of the state.” Pursley said this week, Jan. 24-30, is “Looks Like Pike” week. “Anybody who has anything or makes anything that looks like the shape of Pike County is urged to post it on our Facebook account,” she said. The page already has several posts, including a pizza crust, cookies and a Pike County shaped board covered in a collage of clippings from the Pike Press. The clippings highlight many of the happenings of Pike County over the past several years. Pursley said an essay contest has attracted 29 entries with a winner announced Jan. 31 during the virtual birthday party being held via Zoom. Information is on the committee website. The winning essay will be read and all essays will be posted online. There will also be a brief history, and the queen or junior miss from each community will give a fun fact about her town. There will also be Pike County merchandise available for sale: ornaments, buttons, masks, T-shirts to name a few. “Some will be functional and others will be just a souvenir,” Pursley said.

The committee is still looking for volunteers to help with the virtual presentation, to read something positive related to Pike County. Each presentation can be about a home, a business, an event, a school or club. Each presentation should last 10-30 minutes. “The person doesn’t have to live here,” Pursley said. “We just want to get people talking about the history of Pike County.” The opportunity for people to give virtual tours of historical homes is also open. “We have rules and guidelines, but they are not real strict,” Pursley said. The bi-centennial committee is also hoping to get businesses and organizations involved by inviting them to make products that have the Pike logo. Then they should send a statement of support along with contact info that the committee can send out for other businesses to make contact. Pursley said it is the committee’s desire to have all areas, towns and villages of Pike County represented. “Before COVID, our hope was to have a reunion type gathering in each town or village,” she said. “Maybe later in the year we can still do that. We also hope to have a presence at each town’s fair or festival by being in a parade and having a booth during the event. We hope to inform people and maybe attract new members from other areas.” Starting March 20, the committee will be selling raffle tickets for 10 items made by local crafters or artists. “We hope to have large and small items with a lot of variety,” she said. The drawing will be April 25.

According to Board Chairman Jim Sheppard, Martin was leaving the position to accept another job. “He just got confirmation of the offer, and he decided to take the position,” Sheppard said. Sheppard said that Martin will stay on with the county in his position of emergency management director. In addition, Martin will continue to serve as ambulance director until a successor is named. “He offered to stay until a new person is hired,” Sheppard said. “His schedule will allow for that.” After board members had an opportunity to review Martin’s letter of resignation at the board meeting, Sheppard complimented Martin on the job he has done as ambulance director. “Josh has done a very fine job for us,” Sheppard said. “He improved the ambulance service.” Following the board meeting, County Clerk Natalie Roseberry sent out the job posting for the Pike county ambulance director position. According to the job posting, the position is full-time with benefits. The successful candidate will be a licensed paramedic with a valid driver’s license. Applications are due to County Board Public Safety Chairman Tom Lewis by the close of business Friday, Feb. 12. Sheppard indicated the position paid just under $50,000. The county board approved an additional liquor license for Summer Hill’s Hopewell Winery, which Sheppard explained was required by the state. “Hopewell Winery currently has a liquor license,” Sheppard said. “Because they make the wine at a separate location from where it is sold, the state requires a license for both locations – one for retail and one for manufacturing.” Sheppard defended awarding the additional license, since it wouldn’t add a retail liquor location in the county. “Technically it’s not an expansion,” Sheppard said. “We can always reduce back the number of licenses later.” Also approved was the allocation of $31,000 in county funds for an oil and chip project to improve county highways. The allocation of the funds was necessary in order to receive $304,836.21 in federal funds to be used for the same paving maintenance project. The sale of eleven tax-delinquent properties was approved by board members.

“These are abandoned properties sold and put back on the tax rolls,” Sheppard said. “We got some pretty decent properties on a couple of them.” Akers Chapel Cemetery board members Kevin Dunker, James Reed, Kathy Snyder, Shelly Campbell, Clint Waters, David Lawson, Sam Reed, Gary Weir, Kevin Howell, Randy Woodward II, Paul Kenady and Robert Kenady were all approved by the county board to serve terms on the cemetery board expiring in 2027. Finance Committee Chairman Roger Hannel reported that COVID-19 related leave for county employees would be extended until April, per federal guidelines. Employees put in COVID-19 quarantine are afforded two weeks or 80 hours of leave. Building and Grounds Committee Chairman Mark Sprague reported that that committee had approved a contract with Pittsfield’s Yelliott Lawn Care to provide fertilization and weed control services at county buildings for the season at a cost to the county of $1,875. Sprague went on to say that the replacement costs of a $5,300 master surge protector at the courthouse needed to be presented to the county’s casualty insurance provider and Ameren for reimbursement. In addition, Sprague said that the wall around the newly replaced north entrance of the courthouse needed to be sealed and tuck-pointed. The committee is inquiring with Sheriff David Greenwood about the feasibility of inmates performing the work. GIS/IT Committee Chairwoman Reta Hoskins reported that the committee had approved the purchase of IT equipment and software at a cost of not more than $1,000 to more effectively live stream county meetings. In addition, Hoskins stated that the county would set up its own Facebook page to serve as a platform for the videos and other public information. Currently, county board meetings are streamed on the Pike County Sheriff’s Department Facebook page. During routine six-month department reports, Animal Control Warden Debbie Lambeth announced that she would be retiring but did not give a retirement date. In addition, County Clerk Natalie Roseberry reported that starting in the next election cycle, the county would be creating all of its own ballots and programming the county’s voting machines in-house. Previously, according to Roseberry, that work had been outsourced to a company in Oklahoma. Following open session, the board met in closed session to discuss the purchase or rental of property, but no action was taken.

Childhood hobby turns into adult venture By BETH ZUMWALT Pike Press As a child, Jason Shireman loved his toy tractors and other miniature pieces of farm equipment. It wasn’t until he was around 12 that he realized his passion had turned into more than play time. “My dad and I went to a miniature farm toy show in Hannibal,” Shireman said. “That’s when I realized it could be a hobby and not just play things.” Shireman, who still had his childhood treasures, started out with some toy tractors, some of which he customized with different tires and accessories. His collection soon grew to approximately 2,000. “I have them at home in the basement, and I have some in my office,” Shireman, who owns Shireman Memorials in Pittsfield, said. Recently married, Shireman said his new wife, Chandra, was a bit overwhelmed at first by his collection. “But, I took her to her first show and she saw the business side of it, and now she realizes it is more than a hobby,” he said. Shows provide Shireman and other collectors the opportunity to showcase their collections, as well as make trades and sales. “I try to upgrade our pieces and make them more realistic,” Shireman said. “I also build hard-to-find pieces, such as a fertilizer spreader. I made one and all of sudden I had orders for 100.” Shireman said each piece he builds takes around four and one-half hours. “There are a lot of tractors out there, but not many implements or equip-

ments,” he said. “That’s where a lot of the custom made pieces come in.” In addition to the six major shows Shireman attends each year in Iowa, Illinois, Missouri, Wisconsin and Indiana, he also has a YouTube channel, “For the Love of Tractors.” Although Shireman enjoys the time spent with his miniatures, he says the people he has met at the trade shows and through websites dedicated to the hobby are the best part of his collection.

G-P extends COVID-19 leave for staff, awaits IHSA athletics guidance By DAVID CAMPHOUSE Pike Press Griggsville-Perryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s school board, at its Wednesday, Jan. 20 meeting, approved a memorandum of understanding with its faculty union to extend emergency COVID leave until March 31. According to G-P Superintendent Kent Hawley, the extension is in keeping with federal COVID-19 emergency guidance. The allowance provides 10 work days or 80 hours off for all emplyees of the district in the event they are quarantined at home because of the pandemic. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is the same terms as we had with the union in the fall,â&#x20AC;? Hawley said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It goes through March, which is when the most recent CARES Act ends â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the new federal stimulus bill passed Jan. 3.â&#x20AC;? Hawley said he expects to receive further guidance from the Illinois High School Association (IHSA) and the Illinois Elementary School Association (IESA) regarding allowing school sports now that the Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH) has placed Region 3, in which Pike County is located, in Phase 4 with no COVID-19 mitigations in place for sporting events. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When they first issued guidance, they had no framework for regions in only Phase 4,â&#x20AC;? Hawley said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t heard anything new as of yet. We expect guidance this week.â&#x20AC;? Hawley believed that under IHSA guid-

ance, high risk sports such as basketball may be allowed to be played among teams in the same region. Hawley stated nothing definitive had been issued by IHSA, but he expects guidance following a Wednesday, Jan. 27 IHSA board meeting. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So, in Region 3 we would be allowed to play basketball and play volleyball when the season rolls around,â&#x20AC;? Hawley said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m expecting IHSA to come out with a new volleyball schedule Wednesday, following their board meeting.â&#x20AC;? Hawley said that IESA guidelines may be more restrictive, saying that junior high sports seasons cannot take place until students have had at least seven practices as a team. G-Pâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s board accepted the resignation of paraprofessional Alayna Beard as of Friday, Jan. 22. Lisa Feenstra was hired to fill the same paraprofessional position. Feenstra started Monday, Jan. 25. Hawley stated that staffing shortages had continued to trouble many school districts throughout the pandemic, but G-P has not as of yet had to cancel in-person instruction because of a lack of staff. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are blessed with some really good substitute teachers,â&#x20AC;? Hawley said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They are very dedicated. So far we havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t had any real issues, because we havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t had large numbers in quarantine. There have been days when we have been stretched pretty thin, but we havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t had the issues some other districts have faced â&#x20AC;&#x201C; knock on wood.â&#x20AC;?

Hope City Church offering oil changes to single mothers and widows By BETH ZUMWALT Pike Press The newest church in town is starting more than a place to worship; it is also starting a program of giving back to the community. Hope City Church, with Jamie Reel as pastor and Chris Davenport as executive pastor, will be offering service projects, hopefully, each month. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Some projects will be smaller, others like the oil changes will be bigger,â&#x20AC;? Davenport said. The oil change program is for widows and single mothers. The first 24 to sign up will

be able to get a free oil change courtesy of Hope City Church, Wright Place Auto and Halpinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s NAPA. The oil changes will be done Saturday Feb. 6 from 8 a.m. to noon. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We think we can get 24 done in that four hour period,â&#x20AC;? Davenport said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In the event the response is overwhelming, we will also do it the following weekend.â&#x20AC;? Any single mother or widow wanting to take advantage of the offer is asked to call 217-617-0993 and schedule an appointment. At the time of the scheduling, please provide the carâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s make, model and year so that the proper oil and filter can be obtained.

JWCC Ag Department offers artificial insemination course

By DAVID CAMPHOUSE Pike Press John Wood Community Collegeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s (JWCC) Ag Department will offer a cattle artificial insemination (AI) class March 8â&#x20AC;&#x201C;10 at the Coatsburg Sale Barn, located at 1947 U.S. Highway 24 in Coatsburg. The class, according to Ag Department Chair Mike Tenhouse, is open to the general public and not limited to current JWCC students. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We offer the AI course each year,â&#x20AC;? Tenhouse said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s both for our current students at the Perry ag center and community members from around the district and region.â&#x20AC;? While Tenhouse is the courseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s coordinating instructor, most aspects of the course will be taught by technicians from STgenetics, a worldwide leader in livestock reproduction and other services for cattle, horses, deer and swine. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These guys are very good technicians and up to date on the latest technology and practices,â&#x20AC;? Tenhouse said. Participants in the course will learn basic

Vaccine

(Continued from A1) Another goal of the cooperative agreement is to lower the incidence of hospitalization within the Blessing Health System, opening up additional medical capacity to assure it is available to everyone in the West-Central Illinois region who needs hospital care. The agreement also includes Brown, Hancock and Schuyler counties. Beginning Sunday, Jan. 24, any person who is 65 or older may visit the following registration website at adamscountytogether. com/vaccinate to make an appointment for the week of January 25-29. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I know a lot of people donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have computer access or internet availability,â&#x20AC;? Bargmann said. In response, beginning Monday, Jan. 25, any resident 65 or over may call 217-6004VAX to schedule a vaccination with one of the ACHD call center representatives. Of course, Pike County residents may also opt to remain in-county to receive a vaccination, however PCHD cautioned that the agency has, as of last week, approximately 1,500 individuals 65-and-older on a pre-registration list to be scheduled for a vaccination. If residents have already called PCHD to request a vaccine but would rather go to Adams County, they are encouraged to follow the above information for scheduling their vaccine in Adams County. If residents wish to receive their vaccination at PCHD, they should call the health department at 217-2854407 and use option 8 to leave their name, date of birth and phone number. Appointments will be scheduled based on prioritization and vaccine availability. If residents have already

training of artificial insemination of cattle, as well as have hands-on practice with palpating cows. Skills learned will help producers increase genetic improvement of herds, enhance breeding records and data acquisition, avoid disease transfer and allow utilization of progeny-tested sires for performance, maternal, calving ease and carcass value. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a very educational course in terms of beef cattle reproductive physiology â&#x20AC;&#x201C; both the bullâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s reproductive parts and female reproduction and heat synchronization,â&#x20AC;? Tenhouse said. Upon completion of the three-day course participants will receive certification through the National Association of Animal Breeders. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At the end of the three days, we hope you feel confident about incorporating AI in your own operation,â&#x20AC;? Tenhouse said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s good for those who want to brush up on their skills or those who want to take this on aas a new skill.â&#x20AC;? The cost of the course is $513 for indistrict students and residents and $623 for out-of-district students and residents. For more information or to register, call JWCCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Perry Orr Ag Center at 217-641-4558.

called and been added to the pre-registration list, no further action is required. PCHD stated that their office is receiving a large number of calls. Residents that have provided their information to PCHD will be called to set up an appointment when vaccine becomes available. Bargmann encouraged all residents eligible for vaccinations to receive the shots, citing growing evidence of more contagious strains of the pandemic becoming more prevalent. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What we are hearing is the British strain is more contagious, but it may be more deadly too,â&#x20AC;? Bargmann said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The vaccine is effective against the U.K. strain. The best thing to do to stay healthy and get things back to normal is to get vaccinated, so we can develop herd immunity.â&#x20AC;? Bargmann also cautioned residents to remain conscientious about observing social distancing and mask wearing guidelines until more residents were immunized and efficacy of the vaccines were proven. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The 95-percent effectiveness of the vaccines is not seen until some days after individuals receive their second shots,â&#x20AC;? Bargmann. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Even then our ability to contract the disease asymptomatically and potentially transmit it is unknown.â&#x20AC;? Information on vaccinations in Illinois by county is now available at: www.dph.illinois. gov/covid19/vaccinedata.

By DAVID CAMPHOUSE Pike Press During Principal Connie Thomasâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s administrative report at the Wednesday, Jan. 20 Western School Board meeting, Thomas stated that the elementary school had seen 14 students return to inperson learning at the beginning of the spring semester and 11 high school students switched to in-person learning. Western Superintendent Jessica Funk reported to board members that she is working with the Pike County Health Department to schedule COVID-19 vaccinations for district staff. According to Funk, PCHD hopes to be able to come to Western campuses during the month of February to administer vaccinations. In addition, Funk said the district is in contact with the Illinois High School Association (IHSA) regarding the start of school athletics. Additional IHSA guidance is anticipated following the move of Region 3 to Phase 4 of the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s COVID-19 recovery plan. IHSA has a board meeting Wednesday, Jan. 27, after which additional guidance may be issued. Funk went on to say that 61 percent of the districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s funding had been vouchered, but the district had only received 48 percent of its funding from the state as of the board meeting. Most glaringly, the state has not sent any of the districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s transportation funding during the current fiscal year. Western Junior High Principal Brandi Pennock reported that junior high January students of the month are sixth-grader Orion Bowen, seventh-grader Mason Throne and eighth-grader Kara Puffenburger.

DAR remembers first woman born in Pike County May 1, 1822 in the Ross mansion at Atlas (originally known as Rossâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Settlement), there was born to William and Ednah Adams Ross a daughter they named Nancy. According to records, she was the first child born in Pike County. Little Nancy died Nov. 18 that same year, and is buried on the Hill Top section of the Adams-Dustin Cemetery overlooking Atlas. In the early 1930s, the Ross descendants placed a bronze marker on Nancyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s grave. The marker was then mounted on a stone monument and surrounded with a black iron fence by the Nancy Ross Chapter of NSDAR. Organizing Regent Mrs. Elizabeth â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Bessieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Shaw Jette named the new Illinois chapter (organized October 1923) in commemoration for that baby girl. There is now a highway marker to the west

of Atlas directing drivers to the cemetery road. William Ross built the first brick home in the county. The story goes that Indians helped. Unfortunately the house has deteriorated to the point that it has been taken down. He built a two horse-powered grist mill, a band mill, and with J.M. Seeley, planted the first wheat crop in the county. It is said that he organized the first church (Congregational). Many readers are acquainted with some of the descendants of the Ross family who still live in Pittsfield or own property here. They include the Earl Grigsby family (son Lewis m Juanita (Zimmerman) whose children are Lewis, Gloria and Juanita (Nita) and daughter Florence m Mark Owen Roberts whose children include Nancy Ross Roberts Herndon. Mrs.

WILLIAM ROSS Herndon has been a member of the Nancy Ross Chapter of DAR since 1965 and lives in Massachusetts. Another Ross descendant family includes those of Jane Adams Grote, who married William Grote, whose children are Dr. James, Stephen and Fred. Jim and Noue Filbert live in the historic William Ross home which is located on the eastern edge of Pittsfield on Highway 106.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

AUTO

Deserving respect While I do not normally write letters to the editor, I am appalled that the Pike Press would print a color picture of a familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s loved one all wrapped up in a body bag. I can only imagine the grief this family had already experienced in the loss of this young man. Please know our families deserve

more respect and consideration from the press at such a tragic time. Our love and prayers to this precious family in the loss of their loved one. DAVID HAMILTON PittsďŹ eld, Ill.

100 YEARS AGO: PIKE COUNTY IS 100 YEARS OLD 150 Years Ago Feb. 2, 1871 The weather has been very soft for several days, and sleighing is about played out. Wells and Co. of Pittsfield has slaughtered and packed within the last month 1400 head of hogs, average net weight of the entire lot, 250 pounds each. On Jan. 21st Mr. William Shinn and his son Alfred succeeding in killing another wolf about a mile north of New Hartford. Many citizens of New Hartford and Summer Hill were on the warpath after these depredators of their lambs and young pigs. It is said the citizens cannot retire to their peaceful slumbers without being disturbed of their rest by the howling of wolves.

The entertainment given at Nebo by Timeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s home talent, entitled â&#x20AC;&#x153;Uncle Josh,â&#x20AC;? was excellent. The parts were well rendered, and the music, both by band and orchestra, was fine.

Mrs. Jody Wassell is the new bridal registrar at the Brass Lion in Pittsfield. The Pike Promenaders will sponsor a special dance, western style, Sat. Feb. 13 from 8 to 11 p.m. at the Pittsfield South Grade School. Orville Clayton will be the caller.

Newly-elected officers of the Pike County Mental Health Association are Rev. Charles Emerson of Pittsfield, president; Rev. Clyde Snyder of Barry, vice president; Mrs. Zona Hack of Milton, secretary; and Mrs. June Cooper, treasurer. 25 Years Ago Jan. 31, 1996 Federally mandated drug testing has come to Pike County.

Vermicomposting: a composting option for the winter Being four weeks into the new year, I hope those of you with new goals of healthier eating are still going strong. If things didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t work out the way you had planned, no worries; vermicomposting can help you get rid of all those fruits and vegetables that have gone bad and provide a nutrient rich material that can be added to our plants. Vermicomposting is the process of using various species of worms to decompose organic waste such as food scraps. It is also a great option for winter composting when our outside pile has become dormant. To get started with vermicomposting, you will need a 10 to 14-gallon lidded, plastic storage container. Prior to using your bin, rinse it with tap water to remove anything that might be harmful to worms. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll want to make holes in

the container to allow air movement through the container as the process requires oxygen. You can also make holes in the bottom of the container to allow for drainage, but you will need another container to set your vermicompost container in to catch the excess moisture. Once you have decided on a bin, it is time to prepare a bedding of moist newspapers for your worms in the bin. Newspaper works well for this, but colored print should not be used as it may be toxic to the worms. Tear enough newspaper into strips 0.5 to 1â&#x20AC;? wide to fill your bin Âž full of damp newspaper. You will need to moisten the newspaper strips enough that they feel like a damp sponge, but not dripping wet. It is suggested to do this in a different container to drain off any water sitting in the base; you can also

add dry strips to the moistened bedding if it becomes too wet. Strips should provide a fluffy bed for the worms; compacted bedding does not allow for enough oxygen movement for the worms. After preparing the bedding, the worms and 2 to 4 cups of soil from your yard can be added to the bin. Regular worms from the garden DO NOT work in a compost bin. The best worm used in vermicomposting is the Red Wiggler or Eisenia fetida; these can be found as fishing bait or ordered online. If you have friends that vermicompost, they should also have worms to share. In an optimal environment, eight red wigglers can produce about 1500 new worms in six months. Optimal bin conditions consist of the following: Q Temperature between 55

to 77 degrees Fahrenheit Q Aerobic environment (with oxygen) Q pH range around 7 (neutral) Q Moist environment (65 to 75 percent with no standing water) Your worms will eat fruit and vegetable scraps, tea leaves, coffee grounds, filters and other non-greasy foods; DO NOT feed them meat, bones, fat, dairy products, greasy foods or nonfood items (plastic, Styrofoam, etc.) Worms can eat about half their weight each day; therefore, the more worms you have, the more food you will need to feed them. Covering the food with the paper bedding can help to prevent fruit flies. If you do find that your worms are dying or not doing well in your bin, it could be the result of the following: Q Not enough food in the

bin Q Has the worm population gotten too large; should it be divided? Q Bedding is too wet or too dry Q Bin temperature: is it too hot or too cold? Q Is there enough bedding or does it need replaced? After about eight weeks, enough worm castings should be available to start removing them from the bin. Rather than emptying everything out, you can start feeding the worms on one side of the bin bringing the worms to that side allowing you to remove the compost from one side of the bin and start feeding it to your plants! Good Growing Tip of the Week: Chopping your food up into smaller pieces or cooking it before feeding it to your worms will help the worms decompose food quicker. This

This is so remarkable and very happy for this dear couple. Sure wishing you many more years. Mr. Bill Carpenter will be

celebrating an 80th birthday this week, Jan. 30. His family is inviting you to shower him with birthday cards and you may send to his home at 37282 115th Avenue, Nebo, 62355. This is a guy who is well deserving! Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve not met a man that has dedicated his life to his family, farm and hard work like him. Wishing Bill a wonderful birthday and many more! Brian, my husband, hopefully by this read will be

home from Barnes Hospital. He had to have lung surgery and this is from effects of cancer treatments. He is feeling better day by day. Thank you all so much for prayers and support. Congratulations on the birth of Hadleigh Jo Horton Jan. 19, she is the daughter of Jamie and Alissa Horton of Pleasant Hill.

Trivia Questions for This Week: 1. After Jesusâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; friend Mary anointed Jesusâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; feet with ointment, what did she use to wipe His feet? 2.

This weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s selections of 36 Christian ways to reduce stress in the column. Hope some of these help. 1. Less is more. (Although one is often not enough, two are often too many.) 2. Allow extra time to do things and to get to places. 3. Pace yourself. Spread out big changes and difficult projects over time; donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t lump the hard things all together. 4. Take one day at a time. 5. Separate worries from concerns. If a situation is a concern, find out what God would have you do and let go of the anxiety. If you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do anything about a situation, forget it. 6. Live within your budget; donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t use credit cards for ordinary purchases; may you always have: love to share; cash to spare; tires with air and friends who care.

By BETH ZUMWALT Pike Press After 34 years with the Illinois State Police, TWI Wyvetta Davis, New Salem, has retired. Davis started her career Nov. 16, 1985, under the training of Sgt. Jeff Reeder. During her career, in addition to writing overweight citations and warnings, she was involved in finding people wanted for other reasons. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The first one I caught was a man wanted for back child support,â&#x20AC;? Davis said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At that time, I would call the dispatcher on the phone to check his driverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s license. If there was a problem, they would call me back, and I would be told to hand onto the driver until an officer would arrive to arrest him or her.â&#x20AC;? Davis said nowadays, licenses are checked on computers. To get a driver to stay put until an officer could arrive, Davis said she would ask the driver to rearrange his load to make it legal, which usually delayed the driver until an officer could arrive. Davis was married to Steve Davis until his death, last year. The couple had one son, Nathan, and three grandchildren, Jacqueline, Wessley and Reese. She enjoys spending time with friends and family, reading, crocheting, playing
