Orr Field Day offers livestock strategies

By DAVID CAMPHOUSE Pike Press Local beef producers learned leading edge farm management practices from University of Illinois faculty and extension staff at the annual Orr Beef Research Center Field Day on Wednesday, Sept. 25.

Dan Shike, University of Illinois professor and cow/calf researcher, updated attendees on the newest research at the University of Illinois.

His topics included the influence of dried distillers grains with solubles on bull development and reproductive traits, the impacts of bypass protein in growing calf diets, and outcomes of extended drylot housing of beef cows at the Orr Research Center.

Travis Meteer, University of Illinois Extension Orr Research Center beef specialist, discussed using cover crops for cattle feed and their value as forage. “Producers that have cover crops on prevent plant acres will find this discussion valuable,” Meteer said.

“Our main mission is to take research from the University of Illinois and share it with producers,” Meteer said, add-

ing, “My job is to be an unbiased consultant to producers.”

According to Meteer, the Orr Center started with a grassroots effort from Pike County residents.

“They wanted researchbased information specific to this area,” Meteer said.

First hemp crop met with many obstacles

By BETH ZUMWALT Pike Press Lance Kendrick and Dennison Collard planted their first crop of hemp earlier this year and, like every other crop planted in Pike County, dealt with what Mother Nature handed them.

“At first it was too wet to plant,” Collard said. “Then we had a drought, bugs, wind and then rain again.”

“Every (harvest) method has it advantages and disadvantages.”

But overall, the two men think they will be able to salvage a crop out of the seven acres they have planted in different plots on the west side of the county.

Hemp can be grown for the fiber or for the oil and Kendrick and Collard have chosen a variety that produces oil.

Throughout the season, they have mowed around the plants, sprayed for bugs, staked up plants that were blown over by wind and other jobs affiliated with growing a crop of anything.

Now for the harvest which the producers say can go three ways.

“You can bring a harvest-

Western partners with JWCC to offer welding certificate

By DAVID CAMPHOUSE Pike Press Western high school is giving students the opportunity to gain John Wood Community College’s basic welding certificate during their junior and senior years.

Students gain experience with blueprint reading, occupational safety, and several types of welding over the course of the certificate program. “As soon as they get out of high school they’re good enough to go out and work,�

JWCC welding instructor Ron Kraft said.

The first year of the program is spent on understanding blueprints, occupational safety, and basic welding.

The second year of the program exposes students to more advanced welding techniques and methods of cutting metal.

According to Kraft, students don’t just practice welding, they get involved in practical projects, as well.

“We do fire pits, welding up derby cars, and we’ve done a roll cage for a tractor,� Kraft said.

Western guidance counselor Stefanie Rennecker said that high school students are not eligible for traditional forms of financial aid when taking college courses, but local aid is available. “Students end up paying $115-$220 per semester,�

Rennecker said. “If students get a ‘C’ or up they get a discount for the following semester.�

Rennecker said that many students continue with their educations at JWCC to pursue an advanced welding certificate or an associate’s degree in manufacturing.

Western welding students echoed what Rennecker said when speaking about their plans for the future. “I’m going to transfer to John Wood and try and get hired at Knapheide,� Western student Ryan Tunget said. “It’s fun, and it pays pretty well.�

Those in attendance went on to take a tour of the Orr Center following the presentations. The tour addressed facility designs that help reduce hay loss, improve

labor management, and limit issues with mud. “This field day equips producers with the newest research findings, applicable management strategies, and practical knowledge to help increase profits in their cattle operation,� Meteer said.

The Orr Beef Research Center herd resides on a 206-acre managed-intensive grazed pasture with winter cow feeding facilities. Orr Center researchers focus on improving beef production in western Illinois through research on beef cattle nutrition, management, reproduction, genetics and grazing.

By MICHAEL BOREN Pike Press At last week’s regular meeting, after a lengthy presentation and discussion with Marty Fitz of GFI Digital, the Pike County Board voted to consolidate county technical services and email for a cost of around $37,000. “We fix 90% of the problems remotely,� Fitz said.

The question of “How do we pay for it?� was asked by board members John Birch and Derek Ross, in light of the fact that the county has not been able to find funding for a county administrator.

Finance chair Jim Sheppard mentioned various funding options from various available funds and Chairman Andy Borrowman said that this technological upgrade was “more important than a county administrator.� Eventually, the contract was approved unanimously.

Chairman Rodger Hannel of the Road and Bridge Committee reported that the Sept. 11 committee meeting had the unusual number of 17 people showing up to protest the closing of an older wooden bridge that provides access to parts of the Sny, including fuel delivery to one of the pump houses.

County Engineer Chris Johnson said that the bridge had probably been damaged due to heavy loads during the recent flooding, and

that he was looking into the possibility of replacing the bridge under the “half aid program.� Borrowman said that there was a possibility that FEMA funds could be used to replace the bridge.

Public Safety Committee Chairman Derek Ross reported that “the donation for $20,000 from Dakota Access Pipeline should be coming soon, and that it will be used for the purchase of a new ATV for the county.�

The report also included a discussion of raising ambulance worker’s salaries in the next budget due to the extra runs for transfers. The report stated that, “The revenue generated by the additional runs more than offsets the increase in salaries, maintenance and fuel.�

Anita Andress, Pike County Health Department administrator, said that department is still treating Veteran’s Administration patients, but that payments from the agency are about a year behind, and she is doing her best not to have to suspend that service.

Brenda Middendorf announced, and asked that it be publicized, that, due to some abuses, electronic recycling will no longer be available on the city property just off North Monroe Street in Pittsfield. She said that electronic recycling is still available by calling Hollywood Appliance (217440-7482) and making an appointment.

Win (Continued from A1) Devils.

Lowe struck out eight, Kali Van Strien had two hits and two RBIs. Peebles added two RBIs. Brimfield went on to

settle for second, losing to Beecher, 8-2.

The Pleasant Hill girls were welcomed home Saturday night to a crowd of proud community members.

Obstacles (Continued from A1) tages,� Collard said. “The combine-type method, you lose product, the baling method requires that each bale be ran through a dryer, which affects the cannabinoids and flavor of the product. By doing it by hand we will have the best product.�

Since the hemp is sold by the pound, neither man is confident in making a prediction on the amount of hemp their acreage will produce but feel they could have done better if not for the weather pattern and the amount of time they spent. “We both work at regular jobs,� Kendrick said. “If we had been able to spend more time taking care of it, it would have been better. It probably required a minimum 30 hours a week.�

When the two men planted their crop, they were unsure how to market it.

“It’s not like corn or beans where you pull up to a facility, unload it and they pay you for it,� Kendrick said. “ Instead the two men have entered into contracts with buyers from all around the midwest. “We have a buyer in St. Louis and other places,� Kendrick said.

Gov. J.B. Pritzker signed the law allowing hemp to be grown in April of this year, saying the the crop could have a massive impact on the state’s economy.

Kendrick applied for this license the first day the process was open. “Industrial hemp is a potentially-billion-dollar-a-year industry that Illinois will now take part in,� Pritzker said.

Illinois was once a major producer of hemp until it was criminalized in 1937.

But Congress reopened the market in the 2014 Farm Bill, which authorized

states to launch research pilot projects. It became fully legal under federal law with passage of the 2018 Farm Bill, which allows states to authorize hemp production as long as the plants contain no more than 0.3 percent THC, the psychoactive chemical in marijuana.

Illinois authorized hemp production last year with passage of the state’s own Industrial Hemp Act. John Sullivan, director of the Illinois Department of Agriculture and former state senator for Pike County, said there are two major types of industrial hemp.

One is used for its fiber, which can be processed into a wide range of materials from textiles to plastics. Another is used primarily for its oil, known as CBD oil, which is sold over-the-counter for a variety of medical uses such as controlling seizure disorders.

Barn quilts a new craft rage

By BETH ZUMWALT Pike Press Barn quilts are very popular these days and barn quilt painting parties are just as trendy.

Saturday, at the North Pike Library in Griggsville, each attending woman was given a chance to pick her paint colors and then given a pre-painted, numbered board. “We do the base color,� Amanda Gorsch, Littleton, organizer of the event, said. “We also number the spaces, just to save time.�

The ladies then apply the painter’s tape to the lines and begin painting.

Each class lasts about four hours, allowing time for drying, which is hurried along with a blow-dryer. “The ladies can then take them home,� Gorsch said. “If they want to hang them outside on their barn or house, they will have to put a few coats of polyurethane on them.�

Gorsch said she has done quilt painting parties all around the area.

She and her mother run the operation together.

Beth Zumwalt/Pike Press

A new craft trend is barn quilt painting and approximately 10 women gathered Saturday afternoon at the North Pike Library to try their hand at the art form. Diane Brown, center, works carefully to to tape her lines on the board and then will fill in the spaces with brightly colored paint.

Book Club of Pittsfield makes donations to Barry and North Pike libraries

By DAVID CAMPHOUSE Pike Press The Book Club of Pittsfield recently donated $150 to the Barry Public Library and $150 to the North Pike District Library located in Griggsville.

The librarians at the respective libraries used the donated funds for books most needed by their organizations. “Our biggest demand is for our fiction section, so we purchased novels recommended for book clubs,�

North Pike librarian Kimber Martin said.

Barry Public Library used the donation to expand its offerings in its children’s book section.

For the past several years the Book Club has also given books to be put in the Pike County Christmas Baskets and at times the group has decided money is needed for other causes

as well.

Over the years the club has contributed over $6,000 to Pike County libraries, schools, and community

organizations. The Book Club was organized in 1939 as a “Magazine Club� but was changed to “Book Club� shortly thereafter.

Hilltop Custom Meats new site for deer donations

Deer donations for Pike County food pantries will be accepted at the new Hilltop Custom Meats, 1311 W Washington Street, beginning Oct.1 and continuing through the deer season.

DOT Charitable Foundation has provided a refrigerated truck to assist with processing deer. The truck will be located behind the Smith Taxidermy building. Hours will be 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. but hunters may call the shop for times after hours. “With no locker available in Pike County to process deer, we really appreciate the willingness of Todd Smith to create this new business. It will be a huge help to our program,� Brenda Middendorf, coordinator of the program, said.

DOT Charitable Foundation, Com-

munity Foundation and Walmart have awarded grants to help with processing costs but many more donations are needed.

Last year over 10,000 pounds of processed meat were made available to the local food pantries through this program.

Protein is a vital part of a healthy diet for children. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention report that children under the age of 5 are most susceptible to protein deficiency. If a child does not consume enough protein, fatigue and lack of energy result as well as increased infections and muscle weakness. Protein malnutrition can cause permanent damage if left untreated for a prolonged time period. A large portion of those seeking assistance with food are

from households where at least one family member is working, but the family still has to make tough choices between paying bills like rent, electricity and medicine over buying food. Senior Citizens also make tough decisions each day concerning their well-being and often times will go without food in order to pay other bills.

Currently there is a shortage of funding for the processing costs so local donations are needed to provide for families in need. As a non- profit organization, all donations are tax deductible.

In addition to monetary donations, the program needs help from hunters to donate deer.

To make a donation or for more information, pleases contact Access Illinois Outdoors 217-285-2464 .

Erin Hart has had a busy summer figure skating and shows no signs of slowing down as she transitions into the individual competition season.

In late June the Chicagoland Ice Theatre Inspirations Special Olympics Theatre On Ice team that Erin is a member of competed in Birmingham, Alabama at the Pelham Civic Center against two teams from Virginia and New Jersey. Chicagoland had chosen to showcase a baseball theme this year with bringing “A League of Their Own� to the ice as a tribute to their home club, Rockford Skate Club in Rockford, IL. The Inspirations divided into the Rockford Peaches and Racine Belles. Erin was selected to be a Peach and was given the honor of being the team’s pitcher! They placed 2nd receiving the National Theatre On Ice Silver Medal. Also during the competition, the Inspirations team was awarded the special award of Best Costumes and Makeup based on independent judging overall from the four levels of skating teams: Adult, Preliminary, Open, and Special Olympics.

Shortly after returning from Nationals, Erin suffered a devastating blow with the loss of her number one supporter her grandmother, Arlene McKinnon.

Erin rallied back after a couple weeks off from training to travel to Bloomington were she would take the US Figure Skating Adult Gold Level Moves in the Field Test where she was required to memorize 6 separate pat-

terns of edges and footwork to be performed exactly as shown on paper. She would be judged by a panel of 3 US Figure Skating judges independently and required to receive a passing score from each judge to pass.

Erin received good feedback on her sheets and passed to be considered a US Figure Skating Adult Gold Medalist.

She is now a Double Gold Medalist as she passed the US Figure Skating Special Olympics Gold Moves in the Field Test back in December 2018. Her name is listed in Skating Magazines Gold Medalists area in the December 2018 and September 2019 issues.

While skating in Special Olympics 2021 World Games in Sweden is her ultimate goal, Hart has decided to broaden her opportunities in figure skating by delving into the adult figure skating scene. Her home skating club, Springfield Figure Skating Club in Springfield, has been selected to host the 2020 Midwestern Adult Figure Skating Championships March 6-8, 2020. In preparation for this event, Hart and her coach, Virginia Gietl, have been working on changing her compulsory and freeskate programs switching from the Special Olympics requirements to the adult track.

Erin is the daughter of Rawn and Kathy Hart of Pleasant Hill, granddaughter of Gary and the late Arlene McKinnon of Pleasant Hill and the late Charles “Bing� and Virginia Hart, also of Pleasant Hill.

Of course we want to keep eating China is frequently in the news. And we’re not talking about your Sunday dishes.

For one thing, the United States is currently engaged in a trade war game of “chicken� with China, largely involving tariffs. Who will blink first?

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Just a word of positive news about a trade deal and markets around the globe react.

Is there a whisper of talks being cancelled, brakes being applied, a negotiator looking grumpy? Same result. Markets react.

How does this apply to Pike County? Well, investors exist here too, of course.

But for our agricultural community, continuing difficulties with China – any country, really – is yet another illustration of how America’s farmers are risk takers.

Each year, they roll the dice and gamble. Will there be poor planting conditions, a new crop disease, too much rain, floods, not enough rain, poor harvest conditions, a shortage of necessary crop inputs?

And when global market forces come into play – an unfavorable tariff, for example – they largely shrug and keep doing what they do remarkably well: feeding the world.

‘Sad day for the USA�

Remember this the next time someone confronts you with the inherent “socialism� of US farm programs.

Farmers don’t ask to be the ping pong ball volleyed across the negotiating table. Yet they often find themselves the brunt of national political manuevers in which they have no say.

A little federal support to keep food on the table for all of us doesn’t seem too much to ask.

USMCA – GOOD DEAL FOR UNION WORKERS

embers of Congress will soon face one of the most important decisions of their political careers -- whether to ratify President Trump’s new trade deal with Canada and Mexico.

The United States-MexicoCanada Agreement, known as USMCA, isn’t perfect; but it’s far better than NAFTA. USMCA would strengthen labor protections, create jobs, DQG GLVFRXUDJH 8 6 ¿UPV from outsourcing work abroad.

Congress can do union members a favor by swiftly ratifying the new deal.

USMCA contains comprehensive, enforceable labor provisions. These protections will help prevent outsourcing, which costs American workers roughly 90,000 jobs each year.

NAFTA enabled giant corporations to outsource jobs, especially to Mexico. Auto companies were particularly egregious offenders. Back in 1994, when NAFTA went into effect, the average American autoworker earned about $36 an hour in today’s dollars. The average Mexican autoworker earned just $6.65 per hour.

U.S. auto companies shifted production to Mexico to take advantage of this cheap labor. In 1994, auto factories employed about 100,000 0H[LFDQV %\ WKDW ÂżJXUH jumped to 767,000.

This growth came at the expense of American workers. The number of Americans employed at auto factories dropped from about 1.1 million in 1994 to 940,000 in 2016. And their average wages dropped to about $28 per hour, as companies used the threat of outsourcing to bully workers into accepting worse pay.

USMCA would combat this outsourcing. The deal requires that nearly half of all car parts come from factories paying employees at least $16 an hour by 2023. Cars that don’t meet this threshold will be slapped with tariffs.

This requirement will effectively force companies to keep jobs in the United States rather than shipping them south of the border.

USMCA also mandates that 75 percent of vehicle parts be made in the United States, Mexico, or Canada -- other-

wise, companies will face tariffs. That’s up from NAFTA’s 62.5 percent requirement.

Thanks to this provision, U.S. ÂżUPV ZLOO KDYH OHVV LQFHQWLYH to source car parts from factories in Asia, where labor is cheap.

These provisions will boost demand for American-made car parts. USMCA will spur an estimated $34 billion worth of investments into the U.S. DXWRPRWLYH VHFWRU ZLWKLQ ÂżYH years.

Those investments will create excellent opportunities for American workers. Over the QH[W ÂżYH \HDUV 860&$ LV expected to create more than 76,000 U.S. automotive jobs.

USMCA wouldn’t just help autoworkers. It’d boost the fortunes of Americans laboring in multiple industries, especially manufacturing.

The pact gives Mexican workers the right to unionize and engage in collective bargaining. To ensure the Mexican government enforces these rights, USMCA requires Mexico to create independent legal bodies dedicated to settling labor disputes in a timely man-

ner. The deal also forces Mexico to protect workers from exploitative business practices -- such as gender and racial discrimination and child labor.

As working conditions in Mexico improve and wages rise, multinational companies will have less incentive to outsource American jobs.

The deal also requires Canada and Mexico to grant stronger intellectual property protections -- such as trademarks, copyrights, and regulatory data protection -- to American innovators. These protections are critical for the nation’s high-tech manufacturers, which support many union jobs.

Unions have railed against NAFTA for three decades.

Joseph Yasenko Joseph G. Yasenko, 95, of Nebo, Illinois, died during September 2019 in Springfield, Illinois of injuries sustained in a car accident. Joe is survived by his beloved wife, Margaret and their six children: Rosemary, Joann, John II, Debbie and husband Ed, Steve and Dan. Joe was blessed with six grandchildren; Joe, Sonya, John III, Jared, Jessica, Ashley (step) and Nick; and two great grandchildren, Alex and Hanna.

Born in a coal mining community in southern Illinois in August 1924, Joe was the third and youngest child of Rose and John Yasenko.

Rose and John had immigrated from Yugoslavia. Together with his two older sisters, Mary and Ruth Ann, they cherished and protected Joe, the sole heir of the family name. Their strong sense of family forged deep bonds and a dogged loyalty towards one another that never faltered.

As a child in rural Illinois, Joe was the most mischievous of the three siblings.

His colorful antics were shared affectionately by his (now deceased) sisters, Mary and Ruth Ann. Joe’s parents taught him that hard work was necessary for success.

During The Depression, he delivered ice, carried buckets of coal and held odd jobs in order to purchase a Rollfast bicycle that he kept to this day. Joe’s father, John, had a technical aptitude and was a highly resourceful and creative problem-solver.

Joe shared his father’s passion for all things mechanical and knew from an early age that he wanted to be a mechanic.

Leaving a position as a machinist, Joe enlisted in April 1943. He served in the US Army Corps of Engineers in the Pacific Theater where he operated, maintained and repaired all forms of heavy equipment used to build infrastructure during the war. Joe was stationed in the jungles of New Guinea and The Philippines and routinely shared stories of camaraderie as well as the extreme conditions and suffering he witnessed during the war. After an attack in the Pacific Ocean, he watched ship mates drown and nearly suffered the same fate before being rescued. Discharged in June, 1945, Joe was honored with a bronze heart.

Joe was deeply patriotic and held a great love of country throughout his life; he was recently awarded a Valor Quilt from the Pike County All Wars Museum.

Joe met his future wife, Margaret, at a dance in Centerville, Illinois when Joe’s sister, Mary, informed Margaret that her brother wanted an introduction. Joe married Margaret on August 7, 1948, a union that lasted 72 years and produced six children, one of whom was stillborn.

Joe lovingly referred to Margaret as, “My Doll.�

He relied on her quiet patience and commitment to family to create joyful and memorable holidays and birthdays.

Joe’s earnings and Margaret’s financial planning abilities ensured their family of six children would never to do without.

Joe and Margaret were very proud of their children and devoted their lives to them. Joe referred to his children by birth order and would proudly introduce them as his “#1 daughter,� or “#1 son�, etc. Joe prepared his children for life’s challenges by providing security, direction and emphasizing family, faith and country. He encouraged the unique qualities and talents of each child and supported them as they pursued their goals. Regardless of their chosen path, he stressed the importance of taking pride in their endeavors. He taught his children to think independently, to believe in themselves and to follow their vision, regardless of convention. Joe remained an integral part of their lives, phoning his children regularly to learn if they needed his help, to inform them of an upcoming auction or sometimes just to talk about nothing in particular.

Joe worked as a civil servant for most of his life, starting at the Granite City Army Depot. He accepted a position as a painter, and was transferred to the inventory department before being offered a position as a mechanic, his childhood

goal. Joe loved working in the shop and was promoted to supervisor before being transferred in 1972 to Tooele, Utah to the position of Production Superintendent following the closure of the Granite City depot. A man of principle, Joe hated waste of all kinds and did his best to eliminate wasteful practices at both locations. Joe enjoyed the outdoor life in his adopted state of Utah and involved his family accordingly. Joe retired in 1977 and returned to Illinois to be near family. Joe made it a priority to remain in contact with his friends and co-workers from both Granite City and Tooele.

Joe constructed the last of his four family homes in Nebo, Illinois in 1978 on family property purchased by his father in 1964 following the family’s loss of Joe’s mother, Rose, nephew, “Mikey� and brother-in-law, Ted. Joe was very proud that each house was constructed primarily by himself and through the help of family.

Joe developed close relationships with his grandchildren during this time. Each grandchild received the same help and guidance that he reserved for his own children, sometimes delivered at the same volume. Each grandchild was precious to him and he did his best to remain involved in their lives.

Retirement allowed Joe to freely indulge his passion for all things mechanical, including tractors, earth movers and vehicles of all types. He regularly attended area auctions to find new acquisitions and to make new friends. He loved people and routinely engaged strangers on the merits of various brands of oil, tires, gasoline, cars, trucks or whatever happened to be on his mind. Joe loved to laugh and make others laugh; he was always ready with a quick one-liner or colorful joke. He also knew how to work a buffet like few others!

Joe had a deep respect for nature and objected openly when he witnessed natural resources being squandered.

The guardian and loyal companion of family pets, he cared deeply for them and meticulously provided for their needs. With a full heart, he mourned the passing of each with a suitable grave and headstone.

As Joe’s mobility failed, he enjoyed reading the history of WWII, stories of The Great Depression and the biographies of US presidents and political leaders He donated to multiple charities to fight hunger, as a result of the starvation he witnessed during the war. He shared stories of his “hot-rodding youth� and races he ran against the fastest Chevrolets, Oldsmobiles and Chryslers of the day with his 1940 Ford and prized 1949 Mercury .

Joe called his children regularly to learn if they were happy and feeling well, to learn that their cars were okay and to remind them of how proud he was of them.

He cherished the time he shared at family gatherings with his wife, Margaret, his children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Joe was a character like few others and will be deeply missed by family and friends. He was truly one in a million.

OUTDOORS with Wayne Baughman

Arrival of fall brings archery season The arrival of October brings with it the beginning of archery deer season. Similar to the past couple of years, hunters will likely need to endure temperatures in the high 70â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and 80â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. Not exactly the most pleasant conditions to be perched in a deer stand.

In addition to high temperatures, this years early hunting will probably be hampered by the much delayed crop harvest.

With limited expectation most field crops are well behind maturing compared to the last several years because of late planting. Harvest will extend well into November and probably December.

The interest in archery deer hunting continues to grow with over 40% of all the deer harvested now taken by bow. In 2018 archery hunters checked in slightly more 60 thousand deer in the State about 4% more than in 2017. The length of the archery season gives hunters more time afield and continued innovation in archery equipment are major factors in the trend. Based on archery permits issued by the IDNR 30% of the archery hunters successfully harvest a deer.

Every year we have reports of individuals finding a dead deer on their property. This year local IDNR staff are getting reports of such findings in Adams, Brown, Jersey, and Pike thus far. To this point in time, these have not been mass die-offs. The virus caus-

ing deaths is labeled Epizootic Hemorrhagic Disease (EHD) often referred to as â&#x20AC;&#x153;Blue Tongueâ&#x20AC;? because of appearance of the sick animals tongue.

The disease is not a new plague being first identified over 60 years ago in Michigan and New Jersey. Since that time the disease has spread across mostly the mid section of the Country. The disease usually strikes late in the summer when high temperatures cause deer to seek shelter in low lying areas such as ditches and along water sources. Gnats or biting midges also frequent these same areas and transmit disease to the deer.

Deer that are affected with (EHD) become listless, feverish, have labored breathing, internal hemorrhaging and often have swelling of the head, neck, eyelids and tongue. The death rate is high and usually occurs in 2 or 3 days after all above symptoms appears.

According to authorities the disease is not transmissible to humans, however individuals handling such deer are advised to wear rubber gloves, and not consume any of the venison. (I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t imagine anyone wanting to do that anyway!) There has been no evidence that the disease affects domestic livestock.

Anyone finding a deer that is showing symptoms described above should contact IDNR staff so they can investigate and get a measure of the extent of an outbreak.

CROWDS

IN THE BEGINNING

Cross country races always have congestion in the first yards out of the gate, but Lady Saukee Finley Petty seems poised to position herself in a favorable spot. Petty finished 15 in the Toby Elledge Invitational last week at the Pittsfield City Lake. She had time of 25:36.24. Winning time was 19:47.61. Petty was the only Lady Saukee to compete in the meet won by Franklin with 28 and in second, Havana with 29.

Friday, Sept. 27, the PHS Class of 1973 met at the Cardinal Inn for their once a month luncheon. Those who attended were: Becky Irving, Teresa Wade, Jeanie Hartman, Cindi Schonherr, Debbie Harshman, Karen Sanders, Nancy Bloom, Joe Womble and Mary, and Fred Ruzich. Next month the Luncheon will be at the Courtyard Oct. 25.

Steve and I enjoyed going to the Pike County Courthouse lawn the evening of Sept. 28 to see several PHS students in their homecoming finery. We went especially to see our youngest granddaughter, Reese, who looked just beautiful.

There was a good crowd at the wedding of Kristina (Winner) and Nic Carter Sunday afternoon, Sept.29 at the Detroit Christian Church. The reception was held at the Farm Bureau Hall.

Would appreciate news for this column.

Barbara was a homemaker who enjoyed feeding birds and caring for her yard and flowers. She raised her kids without ever having a drivers license and never drove a car. She kept a journal and wrote in it daily. She had pen pals that she enjoyed keeping in touch with thru the years. Barbara liked social media and Facebook and seeing all the pictures of the generations of children of her family and friends she knew.

She was a member of Grace Baptist Church and an avid Cubs fan.

She is survived by her husband of almost 60 years and nine children; Debi (Ernie) Webb of KS, Kathy (Chris) Catalanotto of Amite, LA, Walter Ward, Jr, Lisa Meeker of Monroe City, MO, Dan (Lisa) Ward of Hannibal, MO, Laura (Douglas) Parrack of Barry, IL, Patrick (Tina) Ward of Hull, IL, Russ (Amanda) Ward also of Hull and Susan Ward of Pittsfield, IL.

Pike County has completed their tax deed proceedings on real estate taxes that were delinquent for2015 and prior real estate taxes. The county, as trustee, will now offer for sale the real estate obtained to the public.

Approximately 57 items will be offered through a sealed bid auction.

All sealed bids must be in the Pike County Treasurerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office, located in the Pike County Government Building no later than Oct. 18.

The sales of these lots should be a major benefit to both the taxing district and the neighboring property owners. This sale will place the properties into the hands of owners who have an interest in owning them. The county hopes that the new owners will both maintain the property and keepthereal estate taxes paid.

By eliminating abandoned properties, the appearance of the neighborhood should improve and the value of adjoining properties should increase.

The required minimum bid is $828 per items. All items will be sold to the highest seal bid received on

or before Oct. 18. Complete bidder packets and sale catalogs are now available at the treasurerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office or on line at iltaxsale.com.
