This began with the fourth quarter Oct. 1 and the first return filing will be due on or before Jan. 30, 2014, payable to the Pike County Treasurer’s Office. There has been some confusion about what

businesses will have to collect and pay this tax. Gina Sheurman, executive director of Pike County Economic Development Corporation, explained that the county has to follow the definition that the state uses for a hotel which was established in a tax act that is already in effect and requires lodging establishments to collect 6 percent.

County Board votes to support marine highway resolution By JEANETTE WALLACE Pike Press Pike County Board members voted to support a resolution put forth by the Mid-America Intermodal Port District at their meeting Monday, Sept. 23. Blake Roderick, executive director of Pike County Farm Bureau and the county’s representative to the port district, explained that the resolution has two parts. The first is to make sure that the upper Mississippi River is designated as a marine highway. He said that the Illinois River has that designation already which gives it more business opportunities than that of the Upper Mississippi, Roderick stated that a marine highway designation is similar to an interstate designation. the Maritime Administration, a branch of

the United States Department of Transportation, makes the marine highway designation. Its website, www.marad.dot. gove, states that there are several public benefits to the marine highway program. One such benefit is “increasing the state of good repair of the U.S. transportation system by reducing maintenance costs from wear and tear on roads and bridges.” Roderick discussed that getting the marine highway designation for the Upper Mississippi River will allow it to be eligible for more funding and grants for repairs and updates along the river. According to the Maritime Administration website, “Each receives preferential treatment for any future federal assistance from the Department of Transportation and MARAD.” (See, MARINE, A2)

Q: Fix

A: Flatten

Oscar Turnbull, an employee of Callender Construction, marks the spot for a security fence after flattening a house on South Illinois Street in Pittsfield last week. The house had fallen into disrepair and was on the City of Pittsfield’s “ fix or flatten” list. The job was expected to take nearly two hours but the house fell in just under 30 minutes, according to Turnbull.

Peebles asking for help for others By BETH ZUMWALT Pike Press For the past six months, Jade Peebles and her family have traveled to St. Louis with a heavy load on their minds. Last May, Jade was diagnosed with a tumor behind her eye. “It wasn’t cancer but it was a sister disease to cancer,” Jenny Peebles, Jade’s mother, said. “She has been receiving chemo treatments.” With her last treatment scheduled for later this month, the Peebles family – Mike, Jenny, Jalie, Grant and Jade, along with their extended family, wanted to do something for Children’s Hospital in St. Louis where Jade has taken her treatments. “Each time a child goes for chemotherapy, they are allowed to pick a toy out of the toy box,” Jenny Peebles explained to children at

Pleasant Hill schools Monday afternoon. “The last time Jade went to get a toy, there weren’t many there for her to chose from.” Jenny Peebles told the third grade class she was speaking to

''Unfortunately, Pike County is too well represented down there."

Jenny Peebles Speaking of Children's Hospital in St. Louis that, although Jade’s chemo treatments last about two hours, some children’s treatments take much longer and that the toy they get may help them pass the time. The Peebles family is spearheading a toy drive for toys for the

toy box. “Jade’s last treatment is Oct. 22 and then we go see her doctor in November,” Jenny Peebles said. “We would like to take a big box of new toys down to refill the toy box.” Peebles said the toy box depends on donations to keep it full and the toys are not big, expensive, toys. “Just little things for the children to do while they take their therapy,” she said. “Jade has gotten a Barbie, a small art kit, coloring book and crayons and books.” Peebles suggested toys in the $5 and under range including Matchbox cars, the simple Barbie dolls, stuffed animals, coloring books, bags of army men and crafts supplies. “Or if anyone wants to donate money, Jade will go shopping. Even one or two dollars will go a long way,” Peebles said. (See, PEEBLES, A2)

Police investigating dog attack By BETH ZUMWALT Pike Press The Pittsfield City Police are investigating a report of at least two junior high age boys who brutally attacked a dog with sticks last week. The dog was 11-12 years old and was in poor health. According to Police Chief Dennis Jennings, the attack was not the sole nor the main reason for the dog being euthanized.

The attack occurred on the east side of town. The owners are requesting anonymity for fear of a return by the youths. Jennings said his office received a call that a relative had driven by where the dog and its owners lived and witnessed the attack. When the relative stopped, the boys ran off. The dog was a chocolate lab Jennings said the relative was

able to provide a description of the boys and the investigation continues. Any one who has any information about youths in the neighborhood near the Little League Park last Wednesday night, is urged to call the Pittsfield City Police. “I want these boys caught,” Jennings said. “This is an ongoing investigation.”

Griggsville-Perry goes into lockdown

Council says 'Leave leaves loose' dump them out of whatever they have them in, garbage or leaf bags or boxes. We can only accept the leaves, loose, not in any kind of container.” The city brush pile is on strict watch after a series of violations by users put the city on the environmental protection watch list. If future violations are observed at the brush pile, the city will be forced to pay a hefty fine and the benefit to city residents will cease. A highly publicized campaign

to educate the public into what is and is not accepted at the brush pile was implemented during the spring and summer and security cameras installed. City employees check the area at least one time daily to assure no illegal dumping is going on and city police have added it to the routine patrols after hours. City residents are also asked not to blow grass clippings onto the street as the clippings get into the storm sewers and cause problems.

state statute, they are considered a hotel,” she said. Packets will be sent out to all lodging entities with information about the tax. These packets will allow the businesses that don’t fall under the state’s definition of a hotel, such as outfitters that don’t provide lodging, to explain and be taken off the list of those included in the tax. The state statute is available online at www.revenue.state.il.us and it details the state requirements and regulations. A local funding advisory board, appointed by the County Board, will be responsible for administering the funds collected and awarding projects funds within the county. Jonas Petty of the William Watson Hotel heads the seven-member board, which will meet quarterly and as needed to launch and administer the fund. “The funding advisory board is open to any sort of project as long as it will benefit tourism in Pike County,” Sheurman said.

Other members of the board include Jessica Funk of Green Acres Hotel, Gary Harpole of Harpole’s Heartland Lodge, Judy Dean of Gray House Bed and Breakfast, Dr. Dan Mefford and Tami Webel of the Pike County Board and Sheurman. “It’s a pretty wide range of people on this and hopefully that will help generate different ideas for what we can do to boost tourism,” Sheurman said. The funding advisory board hopes to see creative ideas from the area that will draw tourists to the county year-round, capitalizing on the great human and natural resources that are already available in Pike County. “We want to assure that all lodging establishments are on board so that the tax is fair across the board. The state law and statute is clearly written and we want to make sure that everyone who falls under those parameters understand and comply,” Petty said.

Tax (Continued from A1) Per the Illinois Department of Revenue (35 ILCS 145) Hotel Operators’ Occupation Tax Act, “A hotel is deemed any building or buildings in which the public may, for a consideration, obtain living quarters, sleeping or housekeeping accommodations. The term includes inns, motels, tourist homes or courts, lodging houses, bed and breakfasts, rooming homes and apartment houses. This consideration or rental includes cash, credits or in-kind receipts. The exception is anyone considered a permanent resident, meaning an individual who has occupied any room or rooms for at least thirty consecutive days.” Sheurman explained that this definition is a lot broader than what is usually thought of as a hotel, which is why she feels there is some confusion for business owners. She said that any place that provides lodging is a hotel. “Because they’re providing a room or a place for somebody to sleep, by the

Peebles (Continued from A1) Toys may be brought to school or Peebles’ beauty shop. Money may also be mailed to either place. In Pittsfield, toys can be dropped at the Pike Press office, 115 W.

Peebles said. “So many of those children have compromised immune systems they have to be new and germ free.” Peebles said her family is hoping to take a big box of simple toys to replenish the toy box at Children’s Hospital. “Unfortunately, Pike County is too well represented down there,” she said.

(Continued from A1) The second part of the resolution focuses on the repair and upgrading of locks and dams to help maintain transportation. Several of the locks and dams have not been updated for decades. “Our fear is that one of those lock structures will fail at a critical time and river transportation will halt for months at a time,” Roderick said. “We would like to prevent that from happening.”

Corn harvest coming along Eleven simple steps to a beautiful By JEANETTE WALLACE Pike Press The corn harvest is doing relatively well, according to David Gay, a farmer and president of Pike County Farm Bureau. "We're still early on with the corn harvest," Gay said. "It's maybe a little better than we thought it was going to be." He went on to explain

that farms using soil that holds water better are yielding better crops this year because of the dry weather in late summer. The maturity of the corn crop was delayed this year for two reasons. There was late planting because of all the rain in the early spring. It was also fairly cool in the middle of the summer, which added to the delayed maturity.

Several farmers are also waiting to harvest corn because the grain has been wet. Corn has to be dried to about 15 percent moisture before it can be harvested and kept safely in storage. Farmers can have it dried out or dry it themselves, but they would have to pay for that service so many are waiting for it to dry naturally before they harvest.

Need to stretch your grocery budget? By BETH ZUMWALT Pike Press In these trying economic times, everyone is trying to stretch each dollar a little further. April Thomas, of the Belleview Community Church, thinks she has found a way to eat healthier and eat cheaper. “Every two weeks, we get in a load of produce that we box up and distrubute,” Thomas said. “It is enough to last a family of four about 10 days.” Thomas said the items in the basic basket, which sells for $23, is all produce but other items are available at a savings, also. There is also a $17 junior basket for single individuals or older couples who may not need as much. The baskets are usually divided equally between vegetables and fruits and there are more than 600 additional items that can also be purchased for an additional amount. “I’ve been doing it since July and I’ve not had a bad piece of fruit yet,” she said. “Most baskets contain a 10 lb.

bag of potatoes, a bag of apples, a bunch of bananas, green beans, peppers and squash.” “There is a lot of variety and some of it is what is in season, some of it is not,” Thomas said. “It allows me to skip the produce section when I do my grocery shopping and for my family to eat a little healthier.” Thomas said the program started five years ago, when two sisters were talking. “One sister had just been diagnosed with cancer and the other sister told her she needed to eat healthier,” Thomas said. “The sister with cancer told her she couldn’t afford to eat healthier.” According to Thomas, the healthy sister found some food co-ops where you could buy healthier food but there was a $500 per year membership. That’s when she went to St. Louis area produce distributors and worked out a deal for 12 families to participate. “Now there are 24,000 families in the St. Louis area participating,’ Thomas said. “We are the farthest one north. We have pick-

ups in Jerseyville, Carrollton, Hardin and Belleview.” Thomas said the Belleview Church, which is about one-half mile off U.S. 96, would like to see more participation in the program. A minimun number of orders is required to keep the deliveries coming. “The baskets are delivered Friday evenings,” Thomas said. “Nobody has to take off work to get theirs. “ The order period usually starts the Tuesday after a delivery and is open for one week, The ordering period for this week’s delivery is closed, but ordering should start Tuesday and close the 15th for delivery Oct. 18. Orders are placed on-line at communityhelpersco-op.com. No Link cards are accepted but debit or credit cards are used. Thomas said some of the offerings on the extra list are amazing. “They had the prettiest mums, they must have been two-feet across for $16.50,” she said. “There is candy and gluten free items,” she added.

landscape next season and for years Don’t let a busy schedule stop you from creating a beautiful landscape. Incorporate a few of these changes in your fall landscape care. You’ll create beautiful results with a limited investment of time and effort. n Cut the grass, recycle fall leaves, and improve the soil with a pass of the lawn mower. Shred leaves and leave them on the lawn as you mow this fall. As long as you can see the grass through the leaf pieces, the lawn will be fine. As the leaves break down they add organic matter to the soil, improving drainage in clay soil and water holding ability in sandy soils. n Or, as an alternative, use excess leaves as a soil mulch. Shred the leaves with your mower and spread a layer over the soil to conserve moisture and insulate the roots of perennials. Fall mulching gives you a jump on next spring’s landscape chores. n Improve your lawn’s health by fertilizing this fall with a low nitrogen slow release fertilizer. You’ll reduce the risk of disease problems and with slower weed growth in fall, your lawn, not the weeds, will benefit from the nutrients. Fall fertilization also helps lawns recover from the stresses of summer by encouraging deep roots and denser growth that can better compete with weeds and tolerate disease and insects. n Northern gardeners can follow

6-17,” Lori Helkey, administrator of the program, said. Helkey said she will be attending a training program Oct. 7-9 and upon her return to the YMCA plans, “to hit the ground running.” “I will go to organization’s meetings, churches, schools, wherever I need to in order to recruit mentors and mentees. We will serve kids on both sides of the river,” she said. “I will be doing the training for the mentors. I would like to get started immediately,” she said. Mentors will undergo some training and also must allow a background check before starting their responsibilities. “We are asking for a least a one hour per week commitment for one year,” Helkey said. “They are certainly welcome to spend more than that if they are able.” Helkey said group activities would also be planned for mentors and their charges. “We will work with the Fox in St. Louis and try to arrange some cultural experiences as well as sports venues and try to get tickets into those events as well

as local field trips,” Helkey said. “The Twin Pike Family YMCA is excited and honored to be one of the Y’s selected this year to begin offering the Building Futures Mentoring Program, which will benefit many of our youth, inspiring them to reach their full potential,” Marsha Garrison, executive director, said. “Through this program, more youth in Pike County, Missouri and Pike County, Illinois will develop relationships with caring mentors, families and schools leading to higher achievement and a brighter future.” Garrison said as part of the national YMCA’s commitment to nurturing the potential of youth, the Twin Pike Family YMCA would engage at-risk youth who lack role models and are in communities challenged by poverty, crime, truancy and single parent households, among other social issues. The Twin Pike Family YMCA Building Futures Association Director is Lori Helkey. Anyone who is interested in learning how to become a mentor should contact Helkey at the YMCA at 573-754-4497.

soil cools reduces the risk of early sprouting that often occurs during a warm fall. n Leave healthy perennials stand for winter. This increases hardiness and adds beauty to the winter landscape with their seed heads, dried foliage and the birds they attract. Plus, it will delay cleanup until spring when gardeners are anxious to get outdoors and start gardening. n However, be sure to remove any diseased or insect-infested plants to reduce the source of pest problems in next year’s garden. n Start composting or add shredded leaves and other plant debris to an existing compost pile. Combine fall leaves with other plant waste, a bit of soil or compost, and sprinkle with fertilizer to create compost. Recycling yard waste saves time bagging, hauling and disposing of green debris. You also reduce or eliminate the need to buy soil amendments to improve your existing garden soil. Incorporate one or all of these practices to increase the health and beauty of your landscape now and for years to come.

Twin Pike YMCA offering national mentoring program At risk youth in either Pike County, Ill. or Mo. may soon find a way out of a road to failure. The Twin Pike YMCA, which serves both Pike counties, will be offering the “Building Futures Mentoring Program” this fall. The national YMCA program, supported by a $4 million grant from the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP), connects youth ages 6 to 17 with adult mentors for 12-18 months. The Twin Pike Family YMCA is one of 24 Ys across the country, and the only YMCA in Missouri, selected to receive grant funding for this program in 2013. As part of the national YMCA’s commitment to nurturing the potential of youth, the Twin Pike Family YMCA will engage at-risk youth who lack role models and are in communities challenged by poverty, crime, truancy and single parent households, among other social issues. “We will be contacting the school, the family services agencies, any sorts of programs that serve children to get the names of children, male or female, ages

the holiday schedule and fertilize Labor Day and Halloween. Southern gardeners should make their last fall fertilization at least 30 days before the lawn goes dormant or the average first killing frost to avoid winter kill. n Do a bit of planting. Cool season annuals brighten up the fall garden and, for those in warmer regions, the winter garden. Consider adding cold hardy pansies. They provide color in the fall garden, survive most winters, and are back blooming in the spring just as the snow melts. n Fall is also a good time to plant perennials, trees and shrubs. The soil is warm and the air cooler, so the plants are less stressed and establish more quickly. Select plants suited to the growing conditions and be sure to give them plenty of room to reach their mature size. n Plant daffodils, tulips, hyacinths and other bulbs in fall for extra color next spring. Set the bulbs at a depth of two to three times their height deep. Then cover them with soil and sprinkle on a low nitrogen slow release fertilizer. This type of fertilizer promotes rooting without stimulating fall growth subject to winter kill. n Base your bulb planting time on the weather, not the calendar. Start planting after the night-time temperatures hover between 40 and 50 degrees. Be patient, waiting until the

A vicious attack on an ailing and aging black Labrador dog last week rightly has area residents disturbed. A mindset evident in these junior high aged youth that condones inflicting pain on an animal portends even viler acts in the future. As a community, it is in everyone’s best interest that the perpetrators by apprehended. Future acts by these violators could escalate. The next incident could involve people, not a helpless animal. Community interest in the event has included a posted reward for information. A grassroots call for tips is similar to the work done continually by Crimestoppers, urging residents to participate in keeping Pike County a safe place to live and work. The incident described took place Sept. 25 in Pittsfield, near Little League Park. If you have any information, please contact Pittsfield City Police. Yes, this is just one incident. We’d like to see it be the last of its kind.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Don’t parents know best? see State Championship and on to a National Science Bowl appearance in Washington, D. C. in 2012. He also competed regularly on his high school Scholar’s Bowl team in various competitions. He earned a varsity letter each year in swimming and was captain of the team in 2012 and 2013. He qualified and participated in the Tennessee state swim meet all four years. He possesses numerous blue ribbons related to his swimming. In addition to the above, he enjoyed summer employment as a lifeguard at their community swimming pool. Upon graduation he received offers from multiple universities and decided to accept a six figure scholarship from a prominent university and is now attending there. It makes one wonder what further achievements my grandson could have accomplished if he would have just had the advantage of being forced by the new law in Illinois to have been enrolled in first grade instead of allowing his parents to make their own decision. DAVID F. GRAHAM Pittsfield, Ill.

Recently I read a news release informing the citizens of Illinois that our state legislators in their infinite wisdom had enacted and Governor Quinn had signed a new law concerning education in Illinois. According to the news release, our government, in conjunction with education administrators, made the decision that parents are not capable of determining when to enroll their children in first grade. They therefore passed a law mandating that a child who becomes six years old by September first must be enrolled in the first grade to take theoretical advantage of beginning their education at that age. Our grandson graduated from high school this year. (May, 2013) His birthday is in July, but his parents made a decision they would not enroll him in first grade until he was seven. Listed here are some of his scholastic achievements. He ranked first and was valedictorian in his class of 464 students. He was a National Merit Finalist. He was an Advanced Program Student Of The Year in both 2011 and 2012. He led his high school Science Bowl team to win the Tennes-

table gifts in Pike County. The fund is advised by a council—all Pike County residents—and the gifts given in the name of the fund are used to help non-profit organizations in Pike County. Jill Blickhan and the Community Foundation have provided the framework in which that can happen, and for that we thank her and the Foundation. Again, we thank everyone who participated and helped support the 5K walk/run. Your participation helped raise funds but more importantly raised awareness of a charitable gift-giving opportunity that will stay in Pike County. Members of the Pike County Endowment Fund Council are: Jim Gay, Kent Hawley, Kaye Iftner, Don Kirk, Adam Lawson, Jennifer Mowen, Brian Nation, Blake Roderick and Doug Smith.

The simple language of liberty In a recent 7-0 decision, the Illinois Supreme Court came out with an epic decision that may reverberate throughout the 50 states. The facts were that Aguilar, a 17-year-old youth, had a loaded gun in his possession on property that did not belong to him and underage possession. The gun was loaded and not in a case. Aguilar was in violation of Illinois state law known as the “Unlawful Use of Weapons” (UUW) and “Aggravated Unlawful Use of Weapons” (AUUW). The trial court found him guilty of the offense of possession by a minor of a concealable firearm and possessing a firearm outside his place of abode. The appellate court concurred, hence the appeal to the Illinois Supreme Court. The Illinois Supreme Court (ISP) made it clear that the UUW and AUUW “amounts to a wholesale statutory ban on the exercise of a personal right that is specifically named in and guaranteed by the United States Constitution … In no other context would we permit this, and we will not permit it here, either.” While this decision is concise, simple and clear, despite the court declining to address all the historical facts that give this decision its basis, neither did the court go into detail on the meaning of the simple phrase, “shall not be infringed.” The court did not discuss the FOID card infringement that is clearly unconstitutional, as well, in my opinion. Typically the courts will not expand a case to other portions of law that are not specifically addressed in a suit that comes before the court. Consequently I can understand why they did not address it. I have been in communication with a number of attorneys in informal discussion, and it appears to them that clearly you cannot be stopped, at this point, in Illinois from carrying a loaded uncased firearm on your person. There was some discussion as to whether it could be concealed or not, since we now have a law that states that you can carry concealed only with a permit. But at the very least, open carry must be allowed, since the court stated, “…we will not permit…” the complete ban on the right to carry

outside the home and premises. Another point the court chose to make, “… neither Heller nor McDonald expressly limits the second amendment’s protection to the home. On the contrary, both decisions contain language strongly suggesting if not outright confirming that the second amendment right to keep and bear arms extends beyond the home. … Indeed, Heller itself recognizes as much when it states that “the right to have arms … [was] understood to be an individual right protecting against both public and private violence.” (Emphasis added). I have been told repeatedly by public officials in Pike and elsewhere that “until the courts say so we will enforce that law as written.” There are 15 counties whose public officials stood up and said in so many words, “We can read and it says, ‘shall not be infringed;’ therefore we will NOT prosecute or arrestcotherwise law abiding citizens for what we see as an unconstitutional infringement of a fundamental right to keep and bear arms.” I applaud these officials for their courage to stand up for the simple language of liberty. While our county was not in that group who stood up, which breaks my heart, neither was the law strictly enforced like it could have been. It is interesting to note that citizens of those “Liberated” counties have been carrying for months. There has been no blood in the streets. Need I say more? Individual law abiding citizens should never be required to pass a test to exercise a fundamental right. That is the risk and fresh air of liberty. We must err on the side of the individual citizen and his Liberty. If the citizen is irresponsible in the exercise of his liberty, then we already have more laws than we need to deal with it.

The Coonridge Digest: Freida Marie Crump

Mr. President, Congress - have you considered a nap? “ Greetings from the Ridge

Google may be onto something. At their Googleplex headquarters in Mountain View, California, they supply their employees with an Energypod, a device made by Metronaps, which allows you to stick your reclining upper torso into a sound-buffering cocoon and take a nap. The pods include a built-in Bose music system for those employees who drift off best with a few tunes, and the timer uses light and vibration to gently bring them out of their techno-slumber. It’s hard to laugh at any idea from a company that brought in $50 billion last year. I grew up in the pre-nap generation as kindergarten was a “big city” thing that only gradually seeped into the rural areas and “pre-school” merely meant the hours you did your chores before breakfast. So at age five I was thrown unwillingly into first grade where napping was not allowed. To be honest, this was a thrill. I never did want to lie down for an afternoon nap and the prospect of staying awake all day thrilled my little soul. That attitude lasted for perhaps a month. Now I regard a good afternoon nap as a mini trip to the Bahamas and without the bother of airline security or people wanting to sell me necklaces on the beach. Churchill was known for his two-hour naps. He said,

“Nature has not intended mankind to work from eight in the morning until midnight without that refreshment of blessed oblivion which, even if it only lasts twenty minutes, is sufficient to renew all the vital sources.” Sometimes the Prime Minister’s explanations ran as long as his naps. Lyndon Johnson was able to maintain his 6 a.m. until 2 a.m. schedule with the judicious use of a pajama-clad nap at 3 p.m. each day. Napoleon could go battle-filled days on end without sleep, but had the ability to nap any time he wished, often just prior to a battle, and John F. Kennedy gave orders that his afternoon nap not be disturbed for anything short of pesky missiles headed for Cuba. Thomas Edison often bragged about his work ethic, claiming to work for 72 straight hours. What he mentioned less often were his frequent naps, often on top of his worktable. His assistant once told an impatient Henry Ford, “Mr. Edison doesn’t sleep much at all, he just naps a lot.” Edison said he could sleep “as sound as a bug in barrel of morphine.” Stonewall Jackson assigned a man to hang onto his coattails while he rode his horse so he could nap in the saddle, and although Nancy Reagan denied that her hubby president took naps, he told his aides upon departing the Oval Office that there should be a sign that read, “Ronald Reagan slept here.” Harry Truman was famous for always insisting on removing his pants for his after-

And once this gets established, let's extend it to the cable news. For

one hour a day they must crawl under desks, lie down, and stop spitting venom.”

noon siesta. Looking over the above list, one might be convinced that some pretty successful folks have made the nap a part of their daily routine, so that’s my proposal for the scallywags in Washington D.C. Every afternoon at 2 p.m. the entire legislative and executive branches of government will be required to retire to their quarters and take a nap. I’ve excluded the Supreme Court since a glance at their portraits tells me that they’re already into the siesta routine. Think what a blessed respite this would give the rest of the nation, to know for at least one hour a day these yingyangs aren’t making mischief! Our local kindergarten teacher, Mrs. Rue, used to walk up and down the aisles of her sleeping charges and gently push any raised head back onto its pillow. Surely we could find a couple of Mrs. Rue’s to do a little head poking in the Senate and House of Representatives. And once this gets established, let’s extend it to the cable news. For one hour a day they must crawl under their desks, lie down, and stop spitting venom. Word has it that

Mrs. Rue carried a yardstick for any head that popped up twice. In the case of the media hate mongers, I’d furnish a hammer. My Herb says he’s a non-napper, claiming to spend every waking minute, well…awake. Of course if you ask him what happens between 12:30 and 2 p.m. each day he’ll claim that the world shut down and there was nothing of interest to report. Some wives would grouse to have their husbands unconscious for ninety minutes every day, but this old gal sees it as a reason to rejoice, an opportunity to get something done, and every important decision in our household is made while my husband is sleeping. He doesn’t argue, he can’t growl, and except for an occasional snort he agrees with everything I say. Long live the nap! Let’s send it to Congress! 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

100 Years ago: Pittsfield wins disputed football game over hannibal 125 Years Ago Sept. 27, 1888 The corn crop is safe and it is magnificent in quantity and quality, and such a large apple crop was hardly ever seen in Pike county. The sixteenth annual Old Settlers Meeting was held at the fairgrounds near Pittsfield. Some of those present who answered the roll call with the year they came to Pike county were: Phoebe Zumwalt, 1820; John Hoskins, 1822; Alvin Petty, 1826; James M. Petty, 1828; Austin Barber, 1833; and James Gay, 1834. The good people of New Hartford are repairing the Christian church. The next thing should be a good preacher. Every democrat of New Salem and the eastern part of Hadley is requested to take part in getting up the delegation to Pittsfield, Oct. 3. The roads are fine and the weather pleasant, and the evenings delightful. The boys and girls of the New Salem area are enjoying buggy rides by the light of the moon. There’s some terribly poor proof reading of our account of the Old Settler’s meeting, as our longtime friend, Mrs. Norris, appears as Mrs. Morris, and Mrs. Dr. Carey is placed at the Oregon instead of organ, and Ben Grimshaw dropped out altogether. The young men of Pleasant Hill and vicinity had a dance at Clare’s hall, and it was a draw, which would beat, the hard cider or the boys, as knives, rocks and revolvers were drawn. 100 Years ago Oct. 1, 1913 It’s a fine thing when a foot ball game comes out as the one played here Saturday between Pittsfield and Hannibal when both team can claim victory. Unfortunately for

Hannibal, however, both referees, one of whom was from Hannibal, awarded the game to Pittsfield by a score of three to two. Hannibal scored their two points on a safety, but the Hannibal coach claimed there should have been a second, even though Spaulding’s football rules were against him. In the final period, Crane, Pittsfield’s clever little quarter, slipped a field goal between the posts from the thirty-yard line for their three counts. C. Winans reports Sunday’s rainfall at one and three-eighths inches, the heaviest since June 5. In July and August scarcely any rain fell. Dogs have been killing sheep on farms south of Pittsfield. The claims have been filed, and will be paid from town funds. A fine quality class of nine was promoted from the primary department of the Congregational Sunday school last Sunday morning. They are supposed to be able to repeat the Lord’s Prayer, 23rd Psalm, the Beatitudes, the Ten Commandments and the names of the books of the Bible. Young Ross Booth, who resides near Old Pearl, had $17 stolen from him by two other boys who were picking apples. The next day, Booth encountered the boys, who had been kicked off a freight train. He got a shotgun, and marched them to Pearl, and turned then over to a constable. They are now in the county jail. 75 Years Ago Sept. 28, 1938 The Rev. Russell E. Booker, pastor of the Pittsfield Christian church, was elected president of the Illinois Disciples of Christ at the 16th annual convention held last week at the First Christian church in Quincy. Mr. Booker, age 52, who has been 27 years in the ministry, having become associate pastor of

the First Christian church in Los Angeles on Jan 1, 1911, has been in Pittsfield over 12 years, arriving in town on Jan. 24, 1926. There were 47 at Sunday school at Independence Sunday and a collection of $3.66. The first slab of concrete in Pittsfield south of U.S. 36 was laid on Mississippi Street at the Strauss-Fish corner at 9 o’clock this morning. Allowing 8,000 yards a week, which is a good average, it will take 11 weeks to complete the project. The PWA office reports that about 120 men are at present employed on the paving job. The crest of the great Mississippi flood may hit Pike county about Friday. It is said to the largest fall flood in river history. The water is running over the tops of the new government locks, 27 of which been placed in the river. The river is said to be at the highest level it has been since 1884. Mr. and Mrs. Harry Giles of Monmouth spent the week-end with the Joe Gay family. They came especially to see their great nephew, Jimmy. Rev. Kent Sanderson, who has filled the pulpit at the Milton Christian church for five years, preached his farewell sermon Sunday evening. He was born and reared in the Milton community. He and his wife, Eva, are leaving for Chicago, where Kent will further his studies at Northwestern, and will also have a church. 50 Years Ago Oct. 2, 1963 Although apples are not a primary crop in Pike county, they are nevertheless an important crop and industry for this area. There are at least nine commercial apple orchards in the county, including Edward Myers northeast of Griggsville, Waris and Hannant near Valley City, Ackles, Koeller of Barry, Frankden Orchards north of Barry, Rising

Springs Orchard near New Hartford, and Penstones south of Griggsville. Dave Altizer of Pleasant Hill was a major league baseball player as early as 1906. He speaks of knowing Teddy Roosevelt, Connie Mack, Walter Johnson and other men of fame of the early 20th Century. He was born in Pearl in 1876 to William A. and Mary Elizabeth Ottwell Altizer. The Palmyra, Missouri Wildcats ended the Saukees undefeated season with a 9-0 shellacking. With 8,000 hens in his laying house, Harold Booth has a small egg factory that produces approximately 6,000 eggs a day. Mr. Booth and his wife, the former Doris Jean Borrowman, really have their hands full at their farm east of Nebo. They have two women who assist them in sorting, counting and cleaning the eggs preparatory for shipment. 25 Years Ago Sept. 28, 1988 Is it constitutional to require school children to recite the Pledge of Allegiance? While the question comes up in the campaigns of George Bush and Michael Dukakis, Pike County school children aren’t debating. They just stand up every morning, face the flag, and recite. According to the unofficial tally, Dennis Dodd was top vote getter among candidates seeking a three-year term to the Illini Hospital board. Also elected, were Walter Groom, Robert Clark, Thomas Hurd, and Betty Jo Killebrew. All Pike County school boards are grappling with very tight budget situations this fall. Dudley Williams has announced that he will not seek another term as Pittsfield’s mayor. Williams, 62, says he will devote

more time to his floor covering business after his term expires in April, 1989. Mayor Williams won his first election as alderman in 1973, and the last four as mayor. He leaves the city with a surplus of over $1million. School reporters for the Pike Press include Brandon Gerard for Higbee Junior High and Dawn Alloway for Pittsfield High School. 10 years Ago Oct. 1, 2003

Even though a few horses in the Pike County area have been diagnosed with West Nile Virus this year, the number of affected horses is down significantly from last year. The Pittsfield Fire Department met last week and honored Parker Zumwalt, a 20-year-plus member and former chief of the department. Pike County State’s Attorney Frank McCartney announced this week that he will be seeking his second term as state’s attorney on the Democratic ticket in the Nov. 2004 election. Mike Edwards of Pittsfield recently announced his candidacy for circuit clerk on the Republican ballot. PACT for West Central Illinois, which operates Head Start, Early Head Start and Child Care, is celebrating 25 years of service to young children and their families. The Pittsfield Saukee football team notched their second win of the season with a 24-6 win over Warsaw on a flooded Glenn C. Smith field. Kathy Hull, CLS (ASCP), has been appointed administrative director of clinical services at Illini Community Hospital. She has served as laboratory manager at Illini since May 1999.

Guest Column: David Porter

'Your community, your newspaper, your life' Your local newspaper isn’t just a newspaper, anymore. With digital delivery and use of social media, community newspapers have changed rapidly to meet America’s ever-growing thirst for news. That thirst, however, is too often fed by unreliable and biased information sources. That’s not an indictment of new media as a delivery vehicle. How one receives news is not as important as the credibility of the news source and the depth of news that one receives. As a society, we have become so saturated with news that it all starts to blend together. Some people might even claim that they don’t read the news or they don’t watch the news, yet they absorb news all day long — through tweets, Facebook posts, text messages, comments overheard

in the grocery store, Internet feeds, talk radio on their morning commute, the TV in the barbershop, and so forth. Bits and pieces of a story break through the clutter giving the often-false impression of a complete picture. Through this news immersion, we may feel like we receive all the news we need and want. The problem with that is we’re absorbing the news that finds us rather than taking a proactive position on the news that we consume. We tend to gravitate toward biasbased news sources that support what we already believe and toward news that has entertainment value. Yet, we’re quick to blame “the media” when we don’t receive the news we want or think we deserve. Social media has been praised for its

ability to connect people directly and bypass the “filter” of professional media. But social media is inundated with unsubstantiated information; flippant, partisan attacks parading as news; and manipulated images. Using social media as a primary news source is sort of like letting other people decide what you’re going to wear each day and then being upset when you look in the mirror. A 2012 survey by craigconnects.org found, not surprisingly, that newspapers are the most trusted media resource. What may surprise you, however, is that newspapers rated highest for trust among the youngest people polled — the 18- to 35-year-old range. Young people were nearly six times more likely to trust newspapers over social media.

Social media and electronic delivery of news are convenient and provide a dazzling array of information. But don’t rely solely on news that has to find you, which is often pushed toward you in a paid marketing effort. When you step into a ballot booth, are you voting based on thorough research of the candidates or is your vote influenced by short snippets of paid advertising or the opinion of some media personality you think is funny? What would our democracy look like if everybody voted without the benefit of actual facts? Politics are not the only area where news matters. The news and information that finds you impacts what kind of car you drive, what kind of food you eat, what kind of diet you try, where you want to live and even how much money you earn in the

marketplace. You owe it to yourself to take control over the news you consume. Be informed. Be intrigued. Be pro-active. Be a newspaper reader. Oct. 6-12 is National Newspaper Week. This year’s theme is “Your community, your newspaper, your life.” That pretty well sums it up. Newspapers are an integral part of a community’s identity and foster a collective dialogue. Thank you for reading this newspaper and for making it part of your healthy news diet. n David Porter is director of communications and marketing for the Illinois Press Association and author of a free booklet titled “News Matters: An Introduction to News Literacy”.

The Gospel Gig this Saturday, Oct. 6 will begin with The Peeks, Rex and Wanda Wade, and Beth Mortland of Naples, FL. Then a special program will be presented by Solid Rock Ministries of Springfield. Pike County Color Tour will be Oct. 19 and 20. Do you realize that this will be the 25th (or Silver) Anniversary for the Color Tour? Mark your calendars and plan to travel your way through Pike County for this very special weekend. Now here is something that sounds like a great idea, and if you are interested you need to act now. Every year the Chosen Ones and The Lesters put on a Christmas Concert with a Christmas dinner at the Holiday Inn Banquet Room near 48th and Broadway in Quincy. This year it will be Monday, Dec. 9, at 6 p.m. Tickets are $20 each and this includes the meal and the concert. Detroit Christian Church tries

to take a group to this wonderful event every year. Since the Holiday Inn only has room for a certain amount of people, if you would like to go with them, you will need to purchase your tickets as soon as possible. Call Steve Haskins 1-217-285-5521, order your tickets, go in and pay for your tickets by writing a check to Detroit Christian Church, and as soon as the tickets come in, he will let you know so you can come in to pick up yours. Then the evening of Dec. 9, you will need to be in front of the Farmers State Bank at 4, if you want to go as a group (which I strongly suggest), transportation will be provided. Or you can just follow everyone else up. But you definitely need to be at the Holiday Inn by 5 to get a decent seat. Trivia Answers from Last Week: 1.

A reception was held Saturday, Sept. 28 for Carolyn Baker of New Salem. Baker retired earlier this year from her duties as clerk/treasurer of the village of New Salem. She had held the title 40 years.

Baker receives appreciation award

Need to stretch your grocery budget?

By BETH ZUMWALT Pike Press

Carolyn Baker says her lack of gumption led to a 40-year job. “The mayor of New Salem, Cecil Ervin asked me if I would run for clerk,” Baker said. “I guess I didn’t have the gumption to say No.” Baker was honored at a reception Saturday afternoon for her years of service. She was given a plaque and honored by past and present board members as well as family and friends. “I’ve enjoyed it,” she said. “We have had good times and bad times.”

In these trying economic times, everyone is trying to stretch each dollar a little farther. April Thomas, of the Belleview Community Church thinks she has found a way to eat healthier and eat cheaper. “Every two weeks,we get in a load of produce that we box up and distrubute,” Thomas said. “It is enough to last a family of four about 10 days.” Thomas said the items in the basic basket, which sells for $23 is all produce but other items are available at a savings, also. There is also a $17 junior basket for single individuals or older couples who may not need as much. The baskets are usually divid-

ed equally between vegetables and fruits and their at more than 600 additional items that can also be purchased for an additional amount. “I’ve been doing it since July and I’ve not had a bad piece of fruit yet,” she said. “Most baskets contain a 10 lb bag of potatoes, a bag of apples, a bunch of banana, green beans, peppers and squash.” “There is a lot of variety and some of it is what is in season, some of it is not,” Thomas said. “It allows me to skip the produce section when I do my grocery shopping and for my family to eat a little healthier.” Thomas said the program started five years ago, when two sisters were talking. “One sister had just been diagnoses with cancer and the other sister told her she

needed to eat healthier,” Thomas said. “The sister with cancer told her she couldn’t afford to eat healthier.” According to Thomas, the healthy sister found some food co-ops where you could buy healthier food but there was a $500 per year membership. That’s when she went to St. Louis area produce distributors and worked out a deal for 12 families to participate. “Now there are 24,000 families in the St. Louis area participating,’ Thomas said. “We are the farthest one north. WE have pickups in Jerseyville, Carrollton, Hardin and Belleview.” Thomas said the Belleview Church, which is about one-half mile off U.S. 96 would like to see more participation in the

program. A minimun number of orders is required to keep the deliveries coming. “The baskets are delivered Friday evenings,” Thomas said. “No body has to take off work to get theirs. “ The order period usually start the Tuesday after a delivery and is open for one week, The ordering period for this week’s delivery is closed, but ordering should start Tuesday and close the 15 for delivery Oct. 18. Orders are placed on-line at communityhelperscoop.com. No Link cards are accepted but debit or credit cards are used. Thomas said some of the offerings on the extra list are amazing. “They had the pretties mums, they must have been two-feet across for $16.50,” she said. “There is candy and gluten free items,”

YPike! will be hosting a presentation Nov. 21 at the Pittsfield Community Center. At the presentation, Connie Schroeder, the vice president of corporate innovation and integration within the Blessing Health System, will give an overview of health care reform and the health insurance marketplace. She will also be available to answer any questions. Kathy Hull, president/CEO of Illini community Hospital, will also be in attendance to update the community about services and changes at Illini and to answer questions.

Weekly Crop update By Mike Roegge, University of Illinois Extension, Adams/ Brown/Hancock/Pike/Schuyler ------------Fall is officially here, and before you know it we won’t be complaining about the heat, but about the cold. As we make our way into fall, don’t forget to make sure the garden produce you’ve been growing all year is prepared as well. If you plan to keep any produce into winter and spring you’ll need to prepare it for storage by curing and storing properly. The first rule is to always keep the best and highest quality of vegetable for storage. Any vegetables with soft spots, nicks and cuts, or not fully developed (except green tomatoes), diseased and/or insect damaged should not be kept. These imperfections will only escalate the ripening process and will cause a shortening of the storage life. Make sure the crop is fully mature before picking for storage, as they will store much better. Some crops will need to be cured before placing in storage. After placing in storage inspect the produce at regular intervals to ensure that they remain in good condition. Eliminate those that are showing signs of spoilage. Green tomatoes can be stored for a short time if picked at the proper stage. To determine maturity in green tomatoes, cut the tomato and view the seeds. If the seeds are cut through, then the green tomato is not ripe enough to store. If the seeds are able to move out of the way of the knife and remain whole, tomatoes at that stage or behond can be stored. Be cautious of storing other crops with tomatoes or apples as these crops produce ethylene, which is the hormone that causes ripening. Curing involves placing the vegetable in environmental conditions to help heal and prepare the crop for storage. Sweet potatoes need to be dug prior to frost and will store best if cured at 82-86 degrees and high humidity for a week. Irish potatoes are cured at 50-60 degrees and very high humidity for 1-2 weeks. Garlic and onions need a warm and dry environment and good airflow to allow outer skins to dry. Most of these crops shouldn’t be washed clean, but manually remove as much soil as possible. Maintaining proper temperature and humidity is important when extending the storage life of vegetables. Cool temperatures are good as this slows the metabolism of the crop and slows growth of any decay organism. Each crop will differ on best storage conditions. Cold sensitive crops (tomato, squash, sweet potato, pepper) require warmer storage temperatures (45-55 as a general rule, tomato and sweet potatoes a little warmer). Most other vegetables that can be stored, the cooler the better, down to the low 30’s in some cases. Relative humidity in storage for most crops is 90% or higher. The exceptions would be garlic/onion (65%) and squash (50-70%). More information on storage conditions can be found on our web page at HYPERLINK “http://web.extension.illinois. edu/abhps/cat88_4092.html” http://web.extension.illinois.edu/ abhps/cat88_4092.html

QMG Therapy Services and Sports Medicine gives back to area schools Quincy Medical Group Therapy Services and Sports Medicine held multiple Sports Physical Nights this year to accommodate the numerous athletes in the area. What did they ask for it? Just ten dollars, which was given back to the athlete’s designated school/sponsoring organization. “It was an extremely successful year,” said Aaron Clark, Senior

Director of Ancillary Services at Quincy Medical Group, “We saw a lot of young, prospering athletes and were able to donate to each school’s athletic department. Our intention and hope is that the donation will help enhance student-athletes’ experiences this year and into the future.” Quincy Medical Group is committed to supporting area athletics. Through programs such as Sports

Physicals Nights, Sports Medicine Outreach, and free Sports Injury Clinics, the QMG Maximum Athletics Team is focused on providing a safe environment for athletes and promoting physical activity and athletics to school-aged patients. The proceeds of QMG’s Sports Physicals event were donated to area schools/organizations that totalled $3,552.

* Don't procrastinate. Putting off the process of winterizing a lawn can put that lawn in jeopardy. Lawns will turn dormant the closer you get to winter, and they may reject the nutrients found in fertilizer as a result. Those nutrients will prove valuable once spring weather returns, so start the winterization process in early fall so the lawn has sufficient time to absorb nutrients and strengthen itself for the seasons to come. * Treat trouble spots. Summer can be even harder on a lawn than winter, especially for those lawns located in regions where heat waves and drought are common. In such instances, certain spots on the lawn seem to be hit harder than others, and those spots should get special attention when winterizing the lawn. Check the soil's pH levels before fertilizing or applying any treatments. Such a test will reveal which spots need the most attention, and treat-

ing trouble spots now will make spring lawn care that much easier. * Aerate the property. Aerating can help a lawn recover after a long summer and help it survive the potentially harsh months that lie ahead. Aerating, which involves puncturing the soil or removing cores of soil from the ground, can restore a lawn to health by improving its drainage and allowing more water and air to reach the roots of the grass. Aerating also makes it easier for nutrients to penetrate the soil, which encourages a healthier lawn over the long haul. Aerators can be purchased or rented, but homeowners uncomfortable with the process may want to enlist a professional to tackle the job. Parents of small children who spend lots of time in the yard may need to aerate their lawn more than most, as heavy lawn traffic compresses the soil, a potentially harmful process that can be reversed via

aeration. * Take steps to strengthen the roots. Aerating promotes stronger roots, but homeowners might also want to find a winterizing product with potassium and phosphorous, both of which can strengthen roots. Different types of lawns will respond differently to certain winterizers, so discuss your options with a lawn care professional who can help you find the right fit for your property. * Remove debris from the lawn. Debris left on a lawn over the winter can prove very harmful. Piles of debris left scattered around a lawn can suffocate the blades of grass, leading to long-term damage and a potentially unsightly lawn come the spring. In addition, piles of debris might make good homes for organisms that can damage the lawn. As fall moves into winter, periodically remove all debris, including leaves and branches fallen from trees.

Standing Together in the Fight Against Breast Cancer Wednesday, October 2, 2013

THINK Pink

According to the National Cancer Institute: • One in eight women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime. • Over 220,000 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer this year. • When breast cancer is detected early (localized stage), the 5-year survival rate is 98%. • Over 30% of women are diagnosed after breast cancer has spread beyond the localized stage.

OCTOBER IS NATIONAL BREAST CANCER AWARENESS MONTH

What is an Early Detection Plan?

An Early Detection Plan for Breast Cancer helps you to be proactive about your health by reminding you to perform routine breast self-exams, and to schedule clinical breast exams and mammograms, depending on your age and health history.

Campbell Publications

Statistics indicate there will be more than 256,000 new cases of breast cancer diagnosed in American and Canadian women this year, and breast cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death in women of both countries. Thanks to early detection and treatment advances, survival rates have improved dramatically, but much room for progress remains. As diagnosis and treatment options continue to evolve, medical experts agree that early detection is a key factor in overcoming the disease, and performing a monthly breast self-exam is often vital to detecting abnormalities, including lumps or tenderness, in the breasts that may indicate illness. Take steps to protect yourself against breast cancer during Breast Cancer Awareness Month by initiating healthy lifestyle changes, beginning monthly breast self-exams, and talking to your doctor about the appropriate clinical breast exam and screening mammogram schedule for you.

“A mammogram saved my sister.” As sisters, Sue and Connie grew up having a lot of things in common. Never did they think one of those things would include breast cancer.

Several years ago, routine mammograms revealed each of the sisters had cancer. Because of mammography and the staff at Illini Community Hospital, they can now include “survivor” on their list of similarities.

A mammogram can save your life. Schedule your mammogram today!

Passavant and Mia Ware Foundation team up to offer free mammograms If you are a woman over age 40, routine mammogram screening is essential to protecting your health, and it’s the best choice for detecting breast cancer early. The Mia Ware Foundation has established a program with Passavant that enables anyone who cannot pay for a mammogram screening, or who has a high deductible, to receive the mammogram free of charge. Inquiries regarding eligibility for this program should contact Passavant’s Patient Financial Services Department, 479-5783.

Jane Riley, of In Motion Fitness in Pittsfield, recently attended a Primal Con convention in Austin, Texas. Riley said the conference, which was held the week of June 4, featured a class by Mark Sisson, author of the Primal Blueprint and other books on fitness and wellness and nutrition. The class ran from 6 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. Riley said the class focused on brain function and food, movement for the body, stress management and total well being. Riley has since returned home and is sharing the concept with her clientele at In Motion. She has had some amazing success stories. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The 21-day challenge has been as impacting as I have implemented just a few changes in my diet, my daily movement and my lifestyle,â&#x20AC;? Charlotte Dunham of Griggsville, said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The rewards are a feeling of well-being and the loss of a few

pounds after only one week.â&#x20AC;? Dunham said she planned to continue the program as part of her lifestyle. Beth Fencik, 53, Perry has also tried the plan and says she feels better. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have arthritis and I think the healthy eating has helped with that,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I feel more energetic since I have been eating clean. You know after you have had a big Thanksgiving dinner, how you feel sluggish, you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have that feeling when you eat healthy.â&#x20AC;? Riley said the 21-day total body transformation program is about transforming your genes and anyone interested in the program may call In-Motion for more details. Other speakers at the convention were: Able Janes author of the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Wild Dietâ&#x20AC;?, Dr. David Cohodes, sports therapist for athletes, Darreyl Edwards, author of Paleo Fitness and certified in crossfit and Olympic training, Brian Tabor, national 2010 strongman and Navy Seals tactical athlete.

The Illinois Department of Natural Resources today announced proposed waterfowl season dates and bag limits for the 2013-14 seasons. The recommendations include 60-day duck seasons in each of the state’s four waterfowl hunting zones, along with Canada goose hunting seasons of 90 days in the North and Central zones, a 84-day Canada goose season in the South Central Zone, and a 65-day Canada goose season in the South Zone. The Illinois seasons are based on a five-year plan for waterfowl hunting season dates that was developed in 2011 and continues through the 2015 season. For 2013-14, Illinois will open the regular duck, Canada goose, and snow goose seasons on Oct. 19 in the North Zone, Oct. 26 in the Central Zone, Nov. 9 in the South Central Zone, and Nov. 28 in the South Zone. White-fronted goose seasons open Nov. 4 in the North Zone, Nov. 19 in the Central and South Central zones, and Nov. 28 in the South Zone. The proposed daily duck bag limit is six (6) and may include no more than four (4) mallards (two hens), three (3) wood ducks, one (1) mottled duck, two (2) redheads, three (3) scaup, two (2) pintails, two (2) canvasbacks, and one (1) black duck. The proposed daily bag limit of mergansers is five (5), only two of which may be hooded mergansers. The possession limit for ducks and mergansers is three times the daily bag limit by species and sex. For Canada geese and white-fronted geese, the daily bag limit will be two (2) with a possession limit of six (6). For snow geese, the proposed daily bag limit is 20 birds, with no possession limit.

By BETH ZUMWALT Pike Press A Pittsfield woman has asked for a public defender after she was charged with two felony counts involving her management of her mother’s accounts Judith W. Walker, 52, Pittsfield, is charged with financial exploitation of the elderly and theft of more than $100,000 but less than $500,000.Both are class 1 felonies. Walker appeared in court Tuesday morning and told Judge Diane Lagoski she had no money

and needed a public defender. Keisha Morris was appointed to represent her. She was released from court on $25,000 recognizance bond and ordered to go to the jail for booking procedures. This is the second case of financial exploitation of the elderly filed in Pike County in the last year. The case involving Francis J. Quattrocchi, 74, who was also accused of taking control of $100,000 to $500,000 from an account to which he had access, is still in the court system.

COMMUNITY SUPPORT WESTERN

Western board extends application period By BETH ZUMWALT Pike Press

Beth Zumwalt/Pike Press

FNB Barry recently donated $5,000 to Western High School towards the purchase of30 iPADS to be used in a mobile laboratory which helps to personalize instruction with an online curriculum called Edgenuity. Twenty iPADS have been bought to date. On-hand for the check presentation were, left to right, Connie Thomas, principal at the school, Shawn Rennecker, a member of the Western Foundation and Rick Shover of First National Bank of Barry .

Honored as parade marshals for the 2013 Milton Corn Carnival were Robert and Linda Springer. The couple was presented their award by their granddaughter, Julie Mountain, who was the retiring Milton Corn Carniva queen.

The Western School Board has extended the length of time they will be accepting resumes for the vacancy on the board. The board met Sept. 25 and had hoped to fill the vacancy left b Kris Koeller, when he moved out of the district. “They are extending it until Oct. 11,” Terry Robertson, interim superintendent, said. “They hope to make a decision at the Oct. 16 meeting.” Lorc Weir, president of the board, said there was no particular reason for extending the deadline for applications. “We will still be within our 45-day window,” Weir said. “We thought we would just extend it and give more people a chance to show some interest.” The board also settle the terms of a tw0-year contract with the teacher’s union.

According to Robertson, teachers will get one percent for each cell this year and two percent next year. Non teaches will get 1.5 percent this year and two percent next, which is comparable to the teacher’s increase. “It is a modest increase,” Robertson said. “We are also going to pay $10 more of their insurance and teachers at the top will receive $250 extra per year. I think it is comparable to what other teachers in the regional received.” The board also hired Steve Goodman as the interim superintendent for the second semester. Robertson, like Goodman, is a retired administrator, and is limited to the number of days per year he can work. The two will tag-team until the district can find a permanent candidate for the job. The board also passed a balanced budget. “There is nothing left to cut,” Robertson said.

national mentoring program By BETH ZUMWALT Pike Press

At risk youth in either Pike County, Ill. or Mo. may soon find a way out of a road to failure. The Twin Pike YMCA which serves both Pike Counties, will be offering the ‘Building Futures Mentoring Program” fall. The national YMCA program, supported by a $4 million grant from the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP), connects youth ages 6 to 17 with adult mentors for 12-18 months. The Twin Pike Family YMCA is one of 24 Ys across the country, and the only YMCA in Missouri, selected to receive grant funding for this program in 2013. As part of the national YMCA’s commitment to nurturing the potential of youth, the Twin Pike Family YMCA will engage at-risk youth who lack role models and are in communities challenged by poverty, crime, truancy and single parent households, among other social issues. “We will be contacting school, the family services agencies, any sorts of programs that serve children to get the names of children, male or female, ages 6-17,” Lori Helkey, administrator of the pro-

gram, said. Helkey said she will be attending a training program Oct. 7-9 and upon her return to the YMCA, plans “to hit the ground running.” “I will go to organization’s meeting, churches, schools, wherever I need to in order to recruit mentors and mentees. We will serve kids on both sides of the river,” she said. “I will be doing the training for the mentors. I would like to get started immediately.” Mentors will undergo some training and also must allow a background check before starting their responsibilities. “We are asking for a least a one hour per week commitment for one year,” Helkey said. “They are certainly welcome to spend more than that if they are able.” Helkey said group activities would also be planned for mentors and their charges. “We will work with the Fox in St. Louis and try to arranged some cultural experiences as well as sports venues and try to get tickets into those events as well as local field trips,” Helkey said. “The Twin Pike Family YMCA is excited and honored to be one of the Y’s selected this year to begin offering the Building Futures Mentoring Program, which will

benefit many of our youth, inspiring them to reach their full potential,” Marsha Garrison, executive director, said. “Through this program, more youth in Pike County, Missouri and Pike County, Illinois will develop relationships with caring mentors, families and schools leading to higher achievement and a brighter future.” Garrison said as part of the national YMCA’s commitment to nurturing the potential of youth, the Twin Pike Family YMCA would engage at-risk youth who lack role models and are in communities challenged by poverty, crime, truancy and single parent households, among other social issues. The Twin Pike Family YMCA will recruit and train adult volunteer mentors to provide direct one-to-one mentoring services and create safe, healthy and meaningful relationships with youth. Garrison said the mentors and mentees would participate in service projects, field trips and other engaging activities. The Twin Pike Family YMCA Building Futures Association Director is Lori Helkey. Anyone who is interested in learning how to become a mentor should contact Helkey at the YMCA at 573-7544497.

Annual ‘Life Chain’ Oct. 6 Pike County Right to Life is sponsoring the annual Life Chain this Sunday, Oct. 6th from 1:30-2:30 p.m., on the south sidewalk of the Pittsfield Courthouse. Each year thousands of people across the United States hold this event on the first Sunday of October, which is Pro-Life Month. Human Life Chains string across our country, in support of the Sanctity and Dignity of every human life. The purpose is to silently and peacefully bear witness to all

those who travel by, to the beautiful gift of life, reminding all to support laws that will protect human life and not allow abortion. Abortion not only ends the life of the baby, but also causes great suffering for the mother and others involved. According to the Guttmacher Institute, there are over 1 million abortions estimated annually and almost 56 million babies’ lives have been aborted since 1973, when abortion was legalized. Much of this is due to lack of education on the

reality of life in the womb, and the tragic physical and mental affects of ending that life-for mother and child. Please come on Sunday and join others for whatever amount of time you can. Be a visible and peaceful witness for the necessity of laws to protect the Right to Life of every human beingborn and unborn. This is a very important and needed movement in our country. For information, please call 285-5483.

Passersby of the Twin Pike Family YMCA in Louisiana, Mo., may soon see dirt piling up in its front yard. Construction of the indoor aquatics center and walking track is scheduled to begin in October, Marsha Garrison, executive director, said.. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Initial work on the pool project will of course involve a great deal of earth moving,â&#x20AC;? Garrison said â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am in contact with our general contractor, Black Construction of Rockport, IL, almost daily as we try to finalize all the details of the project. There are a lot of iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s to dot and tâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s to cross with a project of this complexity.â&#x20AC;? Dale and Mike Black will oversee all day-to-day construction work with the project and they are the main contacts for the architect and sub-contractors. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a major project for our Y and we are responsible to our donors and our members to make sure all facets of the pool and walking track construction are done correctly,â&#x20AC;? Garrison said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want to be sure that the facility holds up well through years and years of use.â&#x20AC;? With the success of the aquat-

ics center fund drive, the YMCA board of directors has decided to forego hosting the annual fundraising dinner auction this year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are very appreciative of the generosity of our Twin Pike communities in supporting the pool project,â&#x20AC;? Garrison said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;After such a successful campaign, our donors and staff need a little time to rebound. But for those who always look forward to this fun and successful evening, not to worry. The dinner auction committee is already working on plans for the 2014 event.â&#x20AC;? The indoor aquatics center and walking track is the first of its kind in the Twin Pike area. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s exciting to think that at this time next year weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have a pool and track the entire Twin Pike area can use and enjoy year around,â&#x20AC;? Garrison said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want to be sure our members and the entire community understands that the pool will be available for all ages to use. Yes, we hope to have a competitive swim team and yes, there will be swim lessons, water aerobic classes and lap swim times offered, but there will also be several blocks of time scheduled for family fun swim.â&#x20AC;? Garrison said plans for the pool

project also include the addition of an outdoor spray ground at some point. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A spray ground is a group of gentle water fountains coming up from the ground that children can play in safely,â&#x20AC;? Garrison said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The spray ground will be located in a fenced-in, outdoor recreational area next to the pool. This area will include picnic tables, too. The cost to build the spray ground is about $150,000. â&#x20AC;&#x153; The board of directors is working to raise the funds for the spray ground in hopes it can be built before the exterior work around the pool addition is completed according to Garrison who said that the cost of the spray ground was not included as part of the pool fundraising goal because the board wanted to keep the focus on the main project at hand. Individuals, businesses and organizations wanting to make a tax-deductible donation towards the spray ground should contact Garrison at the Twin Pike Family YMCA, 573754-4497. Contributions can also be mailed to or dropped off at the YMCA, located at 614 Kelly Lane, Louisiana, Mo. 63353.

Now is the time to join 4-H More than 60 million youth have belonged to 4-H during the organizationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 100-year history. Clubs are accepting new members this month to grow that number even higher. 4-Hers in the state will join the 7 million other youth currently in 4-H worldwide to celebrate National 4-H Week Oct. 6-12. 4-H youth development programs provide hands-on learning activities for youth in Illinois and throughout the country. 4-H youth programs focus on leadership, citizenship and life skills. Every county in Illinois has a 4-H program which is operated through University of Illinois Extension. 4-H club membership is open to youth aged 8 to 18. There are several ways to participate in 4-H. Youth may join 4H community clubs, coordinated by local adult volunteers who receive special training. Each club decides how often it meets, the location of its meetings and the activities held during the meeting. Members may select from over 100 different project areas to study while they build leadership, teamwork, cooperation, decision-making and communication skills. Youth may instead choose to focus on a specific project area and join a club specifically related to that one project. Robotics, photography, gardening, visual arts, and nutrition, are just a few of the popular topics for special interest clubs. One may also participate in 4-H short term projects during school or at after school youth organizations. Some of these popular groups teach youth about caring for the environment, preparing for a career, making healthy choices or other priority issues which build a personâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life skills. To learn more about 4-H, look online at www.4-H.Illinois.edu.

Pittsfield/Griggsville Perry Football Homecoming

Saukees winning streak stretches to two first downs and 28 total yards of offense. The visitors had 29 yards on the ground but lost 1 yard on four passing attempts to have negative yards in passing. Whittaker led the team in rushing with 111 yards, followed by Allen with 66, Kyle Smith with 20 and Dustin Wintjen with 5. Wayde Smith was 9 of 16 for 125 yards passing and Petty caught 5 of those for 58 yards, Cameron Herring had 2 catches for 53 yards and Brett Leahr had 2 catches for 14 yards. Friday night, the Saukees host Monmouth Roseville, also known as the Titans. Monmouth-Roseville’s record is also 3-2 with losses to Dixon, 14-36, , Pearl City, 20-28. and Chillicothe, 12-31. They defeated Illini West 4836 and also beat Macomb, 47-15. They, like the Saukees, will be fighting for their play-off lives when they come to Glenn C. Smith Field Friday night. Left on their schedule are West Hancock, St. Joseph Ogden and QND. The Saukee will have QND, and rematches with both Illini West and Macomb remaining on their schedule.

By BETH ZUMWALT Pike Press The Pittsfield Saukees won their second game of the season Friday night in front of a homecoming crowd. The Saukees defeated West Hancock, 42-0, the second shut-out in as many weeks. The Saukees got two touchdowns from Isaac Whitaker in the first quarter – a 12- yard run and a 9yard run. The PAT on the first failed but Wayde Smith connected with Eli Petty for the second. Also scoring in the first was Kyle Smith on a 13-yard run and Brett Leahr was Smith’s target on the PAT which was good. The second quarter was highlighted by another Whitaker touchdown, this time from the 19 with Smith kicking the extra point. Austin Allen had the only score of the third, a 39 yard run. The kick failed but the Saukee led 35-0 at that point. The final touchdown of the game came when Smith ran into the end zone from the 5 yard line and then kicked the extra point. The Saukee defense was dominate, holding the Titans to only 2

But the real hole is the Wolves are now 2-3 after starting out 2-0 and are in a fight for their play-off lives.

FAMILY FEATURES

his Halloween, throw a wickedly wonderful fete for family and friends. With help from the Wilton entertaining experts, you’ll have all the tricks to treat your guests to a spooky celebration that will leave them howling with delight. Halloween’s not just for the kids anymore, so before you put on your costume, grab your baking and decorating supplies and get ready to let the creepy crawlers loose. “Halloween is the one time of the year that you can take your decorating skills to the dark side,” said Nancy Siler, vice president of consumer affairs at Wilton. “From finishing pumpkin cookies with ghastly grins to creating creepy cakes decorated like graveyard skulls, it’s the perfect holiday to have some fun in the kitchen.” Try these tips from the Wilton test kitchen for tasty and terrifying treats:

Creepy Cupcakes: Transform traditional cupcakes into other worldly creations by decorating with eyeballs, spider webs or candy corn. Set up a decorating table during your Halloween party and let kids make their own creepy creations.

Trick the Treat: Swap out the standard packaged treats for homemade sweets. Wrap cookies, pumpkin cake pops and lollipops in decorative party bags for a fearfully fun take-home treat.

Mummy Wrap: Dress up your Halloween treats with themed baking cups. Pumpkins, mummies and ghosts are an instant way to give your party extra personality.

Stack the Skulls: Turn the crouqueen-bouche, a popular French dessert, on its head by replacing cream puffs with mini-skeleton skulls. To increase the scare factor, mix in bone-shaped cookies and antique the treats with Candy Melts candy and Color Mist food color spray.
