First winter storm ushers in new year

By BETH ZUMWALT Pike Press Mother Nature showed up for New Yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day festivities with snow and ice, creating hazardous roadways, power outages and truckloads of downed limbs and trees. No widespread, long-lasting power outages were reported although there were several isolated outages and several reported cases of limbs being on power lines. Pittsfield City workers, who normally pick up yard waste the first Monday of the month, were prepared for a long day, Jan. 4, only to discover the ground at the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s brush pile was too soft to get a truck through the mud. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And the limbs are still falling,â&#x20AC;? Jeff Griggs, foreman at the street and alley department, said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I got called out Monday night for a downed limb.â&#x20AC;? A tree was also reported as falling near New Salem Monday afternoon and needing to be removed from the roadway. Griggs said the city workers picked up one truck load of brush Monday morning and got stuck so they had to suspend their efforts. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are hoping with the sun, Tuesday, things will dry out enough we can get in there,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As soon as it does, we will be back out. There is a lot out there.â&#x20AC;?

Hazard pay still in limbo for county workers By BETH ZUMWALT Pike Press County workers who did not receive bonus money for hazard pay for working during the pandemic have no clear answer as to if or when they will get their own bonuses. The county clerkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office received $250 bonuses for working the election after Natalie Roseberry, county clerk and the countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s election authority, applied for a privately funded grant that was specific to election costs. Election judges received an extra $50 per day and county clerk employees received the $250 total. That set off a firestorm among employees in other offices who said they, too, had worked during the pandemic and thought they deserved hazard pay, as well. The employees, members of 965 Local Union of Operating Engineers, attended the December meeting of the finance committee. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The finance committee told them they would have to take it up with the county board at their Dec. 28 meeting,â&#x20AC;? Roseberry said. The delegation attended the meeting and was told there was no line item in

the budget for hazard pay, but if their employer, or the elected official of the office where they worked, could find the money in a non-general fund account, they could do so. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Each office has money outside of the general fund,â&#x20AC;? Jim Sheppard, Pike County board chairman, said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If they can find money in one of those accounts, technically, I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stop them.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;I havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really looked into it yet,â&#x20AC;? Bryce Gleckler, a circuit clerk with six employees, said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I guess i will wait and see what everybody else does.â&#x20AC;? Scott Syrcle, Pike County treasurer, said he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see the two employees in his office getting a bonus unless Roseberry applies for another grant. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And even then, we wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know if salaries are eligible until we get the Grant Accountability and Transparency Act (GATA) paperwork filed,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My office does that.â&#x20AC;? Josh Martin, administer of the ambulance service, said at this time there is no money for his employees to get hazard pay. Assessor Cindy Shaw, Sheriff David Greenwood, Chris Johnson of the highway department and Stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Attorney Zach Boren could not be reached for comments.

Pike Countians among those frustrated by FOID card process By BETH ZUMWALT Pike Press Pike County residents are among the 144,476 individuals waiting for the Firearms Owner Identification Card. Dawn Leahr of Pittsfield, said she applied September of 2019 and still does not have her FOID card. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My card expired in September of 2020,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d heard there was a back log so I want ahead and applied for mine.â&#x20AC;? Since then, Leahr has hit road block after road block with the Illinois State Police who have 30 days from the date it receives an application and the fee to approve or deny the request. If the application is missing a photograph or fingerprints, that number can stretch to an additional 30 days while the applicatant re-submits the missing information. Currently, ISP is saying the average for processing a FOID application is now 121 days. Their data shows they processed 216,805 applications in the first 11 months of 2020. That is up 167 percent from the same time period in 2017. In addition to the applications, the same agency is in charge of overseeing the 10,000-a-year average of FOID card revocations and nearly 5,000 denials.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;One of my first issues was I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a physical address, I have a P.O. Box,â&#x20AC;? Leahr said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I ran into the same thing when I got my concealed carry permit.â&#x20AC;? Leahr said she applied online and paid her fee the same way. The fee has been taken out of her account. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Supposedly, if there is a problem with your application, they are supposed to call you and let you know,â&#x20AC;? Leahr said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But they will only call once and they will not leave a message. I usually donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t answer calls from numbers I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know.â&#x20AC;? Leahr said for several months, when she would check the status of her application, there was nothing online, but recently, the website says her application is pending. Leahr said she got her concealed carry and a FOID card for personal protection. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t always carry, but since Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m able to, I want to make sure Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m legal,â&#x20AC;? she said. The question of legality is what bothers Joe Wombles, Pearl, about his situation. He also applied online, last November, and as of December of this year, still has not received his card.

By DAVID CAMPHOUSE Pike Press Pike County Health Department (PCHD) on Monday, Jan. 4 reported the latest COVID-related death of a Pike County resident â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a man in his 80s. The department reported that the latest casualty is the 39th COVID-related death in the county since the pandemic began. PCHD also reported an additional 33 lab confirmed cases of COVID-19 in a Monday, Jan. 4, press release. Active cases of COVID in the county, according to PCHD, have climbed by 24 cases

since last week. In addition, a new variant of the virus that causes COVID-19, first identified in the United Kingdom, has recently been reported in at least two states. The American cases are not known to be linked to travel, which could indicate community spread. No cases caused by this new variant have been confirmed in Illinois yet. As more information is learned, Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH) will provide updates and notify the public if and when the variant is detected in Illinois. Illinois is increasing its surveillance for the variant by performing

genomic sequence testing on an increased number of specimens that have been collected. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Viruses are constantly changing through mutation, and variant virus are expected,â&#x20AC;? IDPH Director Dr. Ngozi Ezike said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At this time, we have no evidence that infections by this variant cause more severe disease or death. However, early study shows the variant may spread more easily and quickly. We will continue to work with academic partners, laboratory researchers, physicians, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to monitor for cases.â&#x20AC;? Virus mutation is common

Some mutations can emerge that help a virus spread more easily, cause infection to be more or less severe or lead to resistance to treatments or vaccines. Based on the information available now, the effectiveness of the vaccine has not changed. Public health experts are working to better understand the potential impact of this variant, including how the

variant spreads and how it affects people who are infected. The same measures that have helped protect Illinoisans from COVID-19 will also help protect residents from the variant. Wearing a mask, staying at least 6 feet apart from others, avoiding crowds, ventilating indoor spaces, and washing hands frequently remain the best tools for preventing the spread of this virus, no matter the strain.

Orr Corporation inches closer to fundraising goal By DAVID CAMPHOUSE Pike Press Farmers National Bank of Griggsville President Doug Smith presented a check for $20,000 to Orr Corporation President Matt Bradshaw Wednesday, Dec. 30. The check presentation was the latest in a series of fundraising events held by the Orr Corporation to fund the construction of a state of the art 24,000 square foot multipurpose agricultural building at John Wood Community Collegeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Orr Agricultural Education Center outside Perry. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Farmers National Bank of Griggsville is always happy to support organizations that provide opportunities for education and development in the agricultural field, especially in our local communities,â&#x20AC;? Smith said in a press release. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are fortunate to help make a difference during these uncertain times and also be able to support agricultural initiatives for the next genera-

tion.â&#x20AC;? The release expressed Farmers National Bank of Griggsvilleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s continued support of the local agricultural industry during the COVID19 pandemic. The donation was made in partnership with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Chicago with funds allocated from the Targeted Impact Fund to assist in supporting communities in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Fundraising efforts for the new facility had been launched with an August kickoff event, at which Compeer Financial presented a $300,000 donation to the construction project. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We think that there is extremely strong need for this,â&#x20AC;? Bradshaw said of updating the aging Perry ag center facilities. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The dynamics of crop production and animal production have changed dramatically over the last couple decades. The new facility will give us the space and equipment to do things outside the classroom.â&#x20AC;?

Barry renews police contract with sheriff, adjusts code violation fees By DAVID CAMPHOUSE Pike Press Barryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s city council, at the groupâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Monday, Jan. 4 meeting, voted to renew the police contract that the municipality has with the Pike County Sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Department (PCSD) through 2023. Initially, PCSD had proposed a new contract that raised fees substantially. In response, Barry proposed reducing hours of policing to keep the contract in line with the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s budget. In response, PCSD agreed to keep the current terms of the contract through 2023, at which point PCSD will renegotiate terms with both Barry and Griggsville. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The sheriff wanted to get it where Barry and Griggsville were on the same billing schedule,â&#x20AC;? Barry City Administrator Jeff Hogge said. Council members also voted to raise code violation fees in Barry to come more in line with neighboring communities Pittsfield and Pleasant Hill, which Hogge said have fees ranging from $185 to $225. Barry voted to raise the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fees to $150 for all code violations. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Fees hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been raised in Barry for at least 30 years,â&#x20AC;? Hogge said. Hogge reported that the city had done a sweep recently to cite residents who have unregistered vehicles and other code violations. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We periodically do checks,â&#x20AC;? Hogge said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We found a decent number of violations.â&#x20AC;? Hogge also said that a collapsing garage at 861 Tremont, previously cited by the city, is being renovated by the property owner along with the house at the address. Barry Public Works Director Robert Snyder reported that his department had responded to a water line break at the Baptist Church. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There was a decent little mess, but we got it taken care of,â&#x20AC;? Hogge said.

The council voted to eliminate an easement through the Ascend cannabis growing facility property. The easement, Hogge said, existed from when the property belonged to the Apple Basket. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Originally, the area affected by the easement was just a parking lot, so it was no big deal,â&#x20AC;? Hogge said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With their second addition, the easement goes through the middle of a building. Nobody wants that.â&#x20AC;? Barryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s council went on to discuss the possible demolition of a derelict building at 844 Bainbridge Street. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The whole backside of the building is slowly but surely collapsing,â&#x20AC;? Hogge said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If it fell on its own, it would probably cover half of the neighboring lot with bricks.â&#x20AC;? According to Hogge, the city is going to present the property owner with one more letter, directing the owner to remedy the situation. If the owner takes no action, the city will proceed to get permission through the court to demolish the structure. Barryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s public works department is also shopping for a new dump truck, as their current truck is experiencing mechanical issues and smoking. Council members authorized sending out to regional auto dealers a request for proposal for a one to 1.5 ton dump truck, at least as new as 2018. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll send it out for bids and see what we get,â&#x20AC;? Hogge said. City Engineer Max Middendorf reported that Barryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s long awaited sewer lining project would restart on Jan. 25 after more than a month delay. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The contractor was here doing preliminary work at the beginning of December,â&#x20AC;? Hogge said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We found out their employees had a COVID outbreak, which obviously set them back.â&#x20AC;?

(Continued from A1) â&#x20AC;&#x153;When I applied online, they told me to print off the form letter and carry it with me and it would work as a FOID card,â&#x20AC;? Wombles said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I took it to Farm and Home with me to buy ammunition and they wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t accept it because it didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have my name on it. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just a letter. My cousin from Louisiana was with me and he bought ammunition, and walked right out of the store. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m an Illinois resident, and I was denied because the letter didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have my name on it.â&#x20AC;? Wombles said eventually, the store management relented and sold him his shells, but said the experience is frustrating. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They are blaming a lot of this on COVID, but it goes longer than that,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is just a way to tax the sport.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Illinois should be using less of our resources on an antiquated, outdated, inefficient, ineffective renewal process from the 1960s and more on enforcement against real threats to public safety,â&#x20AC;?

According to JWCC Agriculture Department Chair Mike Tenhouse, the new building will serve three purposes at the ag center â&#x20AC;&#x201C; adding needed office and classroom space, housing a livestock exposition hall and housing an animal care facility. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It will allow us to do a better job teaching in the areas of animal care and animal husbandry,â&#x20AC;? Tenhouse said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be able to teach swine and equine classes with live animals there.â&#x20AC;? Tenhouse and Bradshaw said the new facility will allow for the JWCC ag program better recruit students and for the ag center to partner with Illinois Department of Natural Resources and University of Illinois Extension to co-host events and programming. Bradshaw said the latest donation to the project from Farmers National Bank of Griggsville brought the Orr Corporation another step closer to its total fundraising goal of $2,000,000 for the project.

ple and safe for the good guys. The Illinois State Police will keep pushing hard, but frankly we will need authority from the legislature to untangle, streamline and integrate the aging patchwork of FOID, concealed carry, firearms transactions and records checks if we are going to fulfill this mission. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Each day hundreds of criminal history and mental health records are processed by FSB personnel and compared against current FOID cardholders. The timely correlation of these records ensures that FOID cards of prohibited individuals are revoked.â&#x20AC;? Illinois State Senator Steve McClure said he, too, is frustrated by the whole FOID card system. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are only a handful of states that require them,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If they are going to make the gun-owners have them, they should get the program up and functioning like it is supposed to.â&#x20AC;? McClure said his office gets multiple calls daily about the issue and most times his office is able to help. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is better if they call my

office,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have the channels to find out what the delay is and get it moving. Throughout our processes, we can contact everyone from the Illinois State Police all the way to the governorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office.â&#x20AC;? McClure said the finger pointing going on over the issue is not truthful nor helpful. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They say they are short staffed, money has been appropriated to hire more staff, just do it,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is so typical of this administration, to just point fingers and say 'It's not my fault.'" McClure questioned whether the whole issue of the backlog could be blamed on COVID? â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is a huge backlog and it can be fixed with manpower, hire some people and get it done.â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you are going to have a law that says a gun owner must have one, then get the process running and abide by the law.

The Orr Corporation and John Wood Community College released a tentative architectural drawing of a 24,000 square foot multipurpose agricultural building, which will house a livestock arena, educational space and an animal care wing. The buildingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s completion is planned for late 2021 or 2022.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have probably 65 or 70 percent of our fundraising accounted for,â&#x20AC;? Bradshaw said. Bradshaw said he anticipates receiving the rest of the funding for the project in time for a late spring or early summer groundbreaking ceremony. In addition to the basic construction costs associated with the new building, the $2,000,000 accounts for the purchase of ani-

Harley Paul Whitlock Harley Paul Whitlock, age 82, of Pittsfield, Illinois went to be with the Lord on Sunday, January 3rd, 2021. Harley was born to Harley Earl and Alberta (Crawford) Whitlock on August 14th, 1938, in Macoupin County, Illinois. His family relocated to live with relatives near New Salem, Illinois when he was a small child because Harleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dad was in poor health. They eventually moved to a farmhouse just west of New Salem. Sadly, Harleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dad died when he was a young boy. Harley married Rita Gail Kelley on January 24th, 1958 and she survives. Harley attended grade school and junior high in New Salem. He graduated from Pittsfield High School in 1956. Harley loved to share stories about his Saukee Football days. After high school, Harley attended Western Illinois University in Macomb hitchhiking to and from home almost every weekend. Harley decided to leave college, get married, and start farming after 1 1/2 years at WIU. After a year of marriage, Harley and Rita moved to his childhood home west of New Salem. They were blessed with 4 children, Harley Earl, Billy Joe, Anita and Paula. Billy Joe died at age 10 after a 3 year battle with leukemia. Harley and Rita started farming with few resources. They worked hard and grew the farm operations over the years, raising hogs and grain farming. Rita and the eldest son, Harley Earl, worked beside him in the early years. However, Harley insisted his children go to college. He was proud that his 3 living children graduated from college. Harley became unable to actively manage the farm several years ago. He and Rita moved to Pittsfield because Harley wanted to be near the hospital. Family and friends, including his caregivers at Eastside, know that Harley was still farming and â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;directingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; from afar. He found comfort knowing that his son Harley Earl was overseeing the farm. Harley enjoyed trap shooting and the many friends he and Rita made participating in trap shooting events over the years. He loved hunting quail and pheasant with family and friends. Other than his family, his bird dogs and guns were his pride and joy. He still talked about a training a new bird dog and going hunting when he would be able to do so. He dearly loved his grandchildren. They are blessed to have memories of spending time with Grandpa Harley. Harley had resided at Eastside Health and Rehabilitation Center for the past several years. His family greatly appreciated the wonderful care he received from the staff and how they always treated Harley like their own family. He was looking forward to receiving the COVID-19 vaccination to prevent â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;that bugâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and to also be able to spend time

with his wife, Rita, and family in the near future. Rita had spent time with Harley at Eastside almost every day until early March when she could no longer visit him due to COVID. Harley worried about Rita and was happy to know that his daughter, Paula, had moved home to live with her. Despite Harleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dementia, he understood the value of quarantine and encouraged his daughter, Anita To stay vigilant in the Public Health fight against COVID. Sadly, Harley became ill and died due to COVID. His family could not be by his side, but the his â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Eastside Familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; loved and cared for him as he fought to survive over the past week. Harley died the same day that Eastside staff and residents received vaccinations. Harley is survived by his loving wife, Rita; children, Harley Earl (Lori) Whitlock, Anita (Scott) Andress, and Paula James, all of Pittsfield, IL; grandchildren, Jennie Rebecca Whitlock (Mickey Gauld), Bryce (Brittney) Frieden, Morgan (Tyler) McDonald, Anna James (Billy Tinsley), Sarah, Noah, and Jacob James; great-grandchildren, Bryleigh and Lucas Frieden, Ivy Lee Gauld, Evelynn and Brooks Frieden, and Scarlet Tinsley; sister, Mardell Hammitt; sisters-in-law, Ginger Whitlock and Norma Harmison; brother-in-law, John (Lois) Kelley; and many nieces and nephews. Harley was preceded in death by his son, Billy Joe; his parents; brothers, Robert Whitlock and George Whitlock; sisters, Genevieve Ridgeway and Mary Jane Crowder; 3 siblings in infancy; brothers-in-law, Bob Ridgeway, Walter Crowder and Edwin Hammitt; and sister-in-law, Eleanor Whitlock. All services will be held privately with interment at Pittsfield West Cemetery. Memorials are suggested to be made to Pike County Health Department. Online condolences may be left to the family at www.nieburfh. com. Niebur Funeral Home in Pittsfield is handling the arrangements.

Steve was born on April 8, 1955 in Pittsfield, IL, the son of Dale â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Tobyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and Patty Sleight Smith. He married Diane L. Dougherty on July 2, 2009 and she survives. The seed for Steveâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s love of sports was planted at Pikeland Unit 10 schools, long before he started kindergarten. He could often be found in the gym, shadowing his father Toby, coach of the Pittsfield Saukee Basketball team. Steve was passionate about sports beginning with Little League baseball and continuing through high school, where he played basketball and was a member of the Golf Team. Following his graduation from Pittsfield High School in 1973, Steve attended Danville Junior College, where he earned a degree in Turf Grass Management. Steve began a career as a golf course superintendent in the Chicago area, but quickly returned to his hometown where he started his career with the United States Postal Service, retiring after 27 years. Following his retirement he founded Steve Smith Painting, which he operated successfully until his death. His painting talent is beautifully displayed on many area homes, businesses, and churches. Steveâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s love of basketball led him to become an IHSA certified Basketball Official. During his 40 year career he refereed over 2000 games and 2 state tournaments, highlighted by the honor of officiating the 2006 Boys State Championship game. Highly respected for his skill and integrity on the court, Steve was inducted into the Illinois Basketball Coaches Association Hall of Fame on May 2, 2015. Steve could most frequently be found on a golf course, and was well known as one of the areaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most talented golfers. A longtime member of the Old Orchard Country Club, he was Club Champion multiple times, winning in 6 consecutive decades, beginning in the 1970â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, and winning his final championship in 2020. Steve won the annual Labor Day tournament more times than any other participant, and was the champion of many other events. Steve is the only golfer to ever have a hole in one on OOCC #9, and had 5 additional holes in one. Steve previously served on the Old Orchard Country Club Board of Trustees. In addition, he was a member of Steak Club and Moose Lodge #420, and a past member and founder of Pike County Officials Association. He was an avid St. Louis Cardinals fan and enjoyed attending Cardinals Spring Training. Steveâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s true success in life was not found in a career, on a basketball court, or on a golf course, but simply in the man he was. Steve was kind and generous and greeted everyone with a smile and

PICKINGS FROM PIKEâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S PAST

AUTO

100 YEARS AGO: DEATH OF CAPTAIN M. D. MASSIE OF NEW CANTON 150 Years Ago Jan. 12, 1871 There was held in the town hall of Milton an entertainment consisting of a Tableaux and a festival for the benefit of the two Sabbath schools in this town. The festival consisted of oysters, cake, candy, etc. and the irresistible grab bag, which created a deal of fun amongst the youngsters. The net receipts from the entertainment and Mite society was a little over forty-six dollars. Daniel D. Hicks, cashier of the First National Bank of Pittsfield states that the assets of the bank are $171, 603.14. The statement is attested by directors C. L. Higbee, E. M. Seely and C. P. Chapman. The ball and banquet at the new hotel on the north side of the Pittsfield square was a grand success. Over 100 couples â&#x20AC;&#x153;tripped the light fantastic,â&#x20AC;? to the most excellent music furnished by Cadyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Band of Jacksonville. Supper was served from 11 p.m. to 1 a.m. and was partaken of by 250 guests. 125 Years Ago Jan. 8, 1896 The mean temperature for December 1895 was 31 degrees, or 4 less than the average in sixteen years. The highest temperature was 59 on December 24, and the lowest was 10 degrees on December 5th. The roads are rapidly getting good, and the dust on them has already begun rising for the annoyance of the travelers. Milton is taking quite a boom: five dwelling houses just completed, and more contracted to build. Milton has two churches, the members of which represent the most esteemed and respected families of the town, and it may be safely said that a more law-abiding and God-fearing community never existed. The leap year masquerade hop given by the ladies at the Barry opera house last Friday evening, was, without a doubt, the social event of the season. About 30 couples were present, and they all entered into the spirit of fun and good time with a hearty good will. From this time on let us not speak of the â&#x20AC;&#x153;old schoolâ&#x20AC;? and the â&#x20AC;&#x153;new school.â&#x20AC;? Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s say the â&#x20AC;&#x153;East school houseâ&#x20AC;? and the â&#x20AC;&#x153;West school houseâ&#x20AC;? in Pittsfield. The Democrat editor had a most pleasant visit Tuesday from Mr. N. H. Zumwalt and wife from Spring Creek. Mr. Zumwalt is a member of one of the

oldest families in the county and one of 12 brothers and sisters, of whom 8 are still living, several of whom are past the four score mark in age. 100 Years Ago Jan. 12, 1921 Ruth Chapell and Ben Akers of Pearl were married on Christmas Day at the home of George Akers of Pearl. L. M. Parisho, J. P. (and editor of the Pearl Tribune) performed the ceremony, which was followed by a wedding dinner. Quincy high school defeated Griggsville high by a close score at Griggsville Friday night, though Griggsville was ahead at the end of the first half. Fourteen teams have entered the Pike County Athletic Association tournament, which will be held in February. Captain M. D. Massie, one of New Cantonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s oldest citizens, and wellknown throughout Pike and Adams counties and other areas, died at his home at age 82. He was a veteran of the Civil War and the famous 99th Ill Volunteer Infantry. He was a member of the Masonic Lodge and the Grand Army of the Republic. 75 Years Ago Jan. 9, 1946 Congressman Sid Simpson made an inspiring talk at the courthouse Thursday afternoon. He was recently part of a special congressional committee, which toured war-torn Europe recently. He said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I never saw a smile on anybodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s face in Russia.â&#x20AC;? He saw Stalin for about an hour one night. Most of Stalinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office hours are at night. Another 26 Pike County men had their honorable discharges recorded recently. The group included Bruce B. Boren of Nebo, Gawain Brokaw of Pleasant Hill, Carl H. Blacketer of Rockport, Elmer E. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Docâ&#x20AC;? Harford of Montezuma, and Earl W. Manker, Guy R. Davis, Claude E. Ritter, and William E. Dunham, all of Pittsfield. An overflow crowd jammed every inch of the Griggsville high school gymnasium Friday night to see the Griggsville five lose their first game after eleven straight victories to the Pittsfield up-and-coming Pittsfield Saukees. PHS is coached by Glen Smith. Greyhound busses started rolling again through Pittsfield Sunday, the first since Nov. 1 to arrive at the local bus station at the Cardinal Inn.

James William (Mack) McGinley, U. S. Navy returned home from the Aleutian Islands recently and was able to greet his 5-month-old daughter, Patricia Ann, whom he had not before seen. Mack has two older brothers, Clarence and Terrence, both Navy men who were in Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941. Supt. H. E. Stevens tells us that the Brown Shoe Factory will have to close soon unless the truck strike is settled within a day or two. 25 Years Ago Jan. 10, 1996 Pike County had about six inches of snow last Thursday, but it was much less than the snow that paralyzed much of the east coast with record amounts of snowfall. Cherokee District Boy Scout Commissioner Richard â&#x20AC;&#x153;Punkunâ&#x20AC;? Johnson presented the Award of Merit to Kay Dehart of Pittsfield and Mark Welch of Barry at Saturday nightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s annual recognition banquet held at the Wagon Wheel restaurant in Perry. Alan and Roger Brokaw have been selected as the 1995 Conservation Farmers of the Year by the board of directors of the Pike County Soil and Water Conservation District. Peggy L. McClenning and James R. Shields of New Salem were united in marriage Saturday Dec. 9 at 2 p.m. in St. Maryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Catholic Church. Theresa McCartney was soloist and Kamela Davenport was pianist. 10 Years Ago Jan 12, 2011 First Bank facilities in Pittsfield, Roodhouse and Winchester will be acquired by United Community Bank as soon as the regulatory process is completed. Daisy Baxter, daughter of Chuck and Angela Baxter of rural Rockport, was born Dec. 18, along I-72 with only her father, two friends of the family, a big sister and a Pike County 911 dispatcher on the phone to assist her mother with the delivery. The PHS Saukees, defeated Quincy Notre Dame 35-33 Saturday, and are 14-3 going into Saturdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Jerseyville Tournament. Junior guard, Seth Petty, hit a jump shot with 2.5 seconds remaining to secure the victory. It was the Saukeeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first win over the Raiders since the 1999-2000 season. â&#x20AC;&#x201C;â&#x20AC;&#x201C;â&#x20AC;&#x201C;â&#x20AC;&#x201C;â&#x20AC;&#x201C;â&#x20AC;&#x201C;â&#x20AC;&#x201C;â&#x20AC;&#x201C;â&#x20AC;&#x201C;â&#x20AC;&#x201C;â&#x20AC;&#x201C;â&#x20AC;&#x201C;â&#x20AC;&#x201C;â&#x20AC;&#x201C;â&#x20AC;&#x201C;â&#x20AC;&#x201C;â&#x20AC;&#x201C;â&#x20AC;&#x201C;â&#x20AC;&#x201C;â&#x20AC;&#x201C;â&#x20AC;&#x201C;â&#x20AC;&#x201C;â&#x20AC;&#x201C;â&#x20AC;&#x201C;â&#x20AC;&#x201C;â&#x20AC;&#x201C;â&#x20AC;&#x201C;â&#x20AC;&#x201C;â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Q Compiled by Michael Boren.

PLEASANT HILL

2021 New Year's greeting to all Happy New Year to you all and hoping it will be a blessed, prosperous, hopeful year ahead. We can all say 2020 has been one of the most memorable and unforgettable, but just remember you are reading this news today, you survived it and what does that mean to you?! Although there are many suffering and who didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make it we are told of this and should be so blessed no matter struggles we have and give today our best. May you keep and find peace and comfort in this year! Bless you all in 2021! Well did any of you make a New Yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Resolution? This is always fun challenge and what is even more interesting is if we can keep it! Hope you succeed! Well you know it is not just recognition this week, but, anytime one can get that

handy dandy pen and paper out or a card and give someone a little bit of yourself, I know everyone reading this has that long lost friend or family member, service buddy, old coworker, etc. that you have thought of and just to let them know they are on your mind. I betcha good olâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; phone call would work too! School has resumed around the county this week. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sure the kids and teachers are excited about getting back to the books, probably not as much as the parents. Before you know it another year will be passed as you know how fast it goes. It is so sad to say we have lost few more dear folks in our community, including Judy Capps, Wanda Grammer, and Richard Smith (Veteran) both of Nebo. Deepest sympathy to these families.

By MARSHA HILL 217-437-2903 bmklh94@ yahoo.com There is not much news as of yet and hoping this will be getting more interesting for you all. Please let me know if there is any information I can pass along, be glad to do it. This 2021~ Pursue peace. Pursue peace over your deepest understandings. For within it there is freedom: over all things mistaken, over broken conversations, over all the things youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d thought would hold a little stronger and grow a little longer than they did, let it be peace that reels in reminding you: it is okay to trust that the story is still being written, even without knowing how it will end.
