By BETH ZUMWALT Pike Press Halloween is this Saturday and while the holiday is designed to be frightening, this year in addition to goblins and ghosts, there is the threat of COVID-19. According to the Illinois Public Health Department there are ways to take the fear of the disease out of the event by following a few guidelines. Pittsfield residents can enjoy the Halloween parade traveling through town Saturday afternoon starting at 1 p.m. from the high school. The parade is sponsored by the Golf Cart Club. The parade will travel up Monroe Street, turn left at Adams, proceed to Memorial and follow Memorial to Higbee Street, back to the high school. If enough interest is shown, the route could deviate to Lowry Street and drive past Liberty Village. Participants do not need to be a club member to participate and decorating the carts, side-by-sides, or other small vehicles, is not mandatory. The club does ask that no decorations include political themes. The Ladies of West Pike will host a trunk or treat party at Holy Redeemer Park in Barry Oct. 31 from 4-6 p.m. There will be pumpkin decorating, a costume contest, a weenie roast and lots more. Pleasant Hill First Christian Church will host a trunk or treat at the church from 5-8 p.m., also Oct. 31. For those households passing out treats: maintain a six-foot social distance and wear a mask; consider leaving individually wrapped candy

The parade will start at the high school, make a lap through the downtown area and then back to the high school via Memorial Street, with a possible detour to Liberty Village.

(spaced apart) on a table in driveways or in front of walkways, sidewalks or any outdoor space where 6-feet of distance can be maintained; and only pass out store-bought treats, no homemade items. For those participating in trick or treating, remember a Halloween costume mask is not a sub-

stitute for a cloth mask; ensure that breathing is not impaired if a cloth mask is worn under a costume mask. If so, discard the costume mask; trick-ortreat in groups with household members only; and remember, candy collected during trick-or-treating should not be eaten until after hand washing.

Pike County close County approves ambulance department union contract to backsliding By BETH ZUMWALT Pike Press With Pike County already at the warning level for COVID and the numbers still going up, there is a danger the county could regress to another shutdown. With more than 100 cases reported in the last week, Pike County is reporting 374 cases as of Tuesday morning. They are also reporting seven deaths, but the seventh death is questionable because the patient was already on hospice. The health department is awaiting a final declaration from the Illinois Health Department. “We are at the warning level,” Sharon Bargmann, DON and public information officer, said. “We will be moved back to restrictions unless we slow the spread.” Bargmann said that all three of the county’s nursing homes and the facility for disabled individuals are all considered to be sites experiencing outbreaks as well as one school. “In a long-term care facility, one person is considered an outbreak,” Bargmann said. Billie Titus of Liberty Village, home to 58 residents said none of their residents have had a positive test, but they have had an employee test positive. “We are doing employee tests at least twice a week,” she said. “We continue to monitor, clean and do all we can to protect our staff and residents.” Other facilities are taking similar steps to protect their residents. Bargmann said wearing a mask, even when outdoors and not able to social distance, washing hands and staying home when sick are the only ways to slow the spread. “We are at epidemic proportions,” she said. Bargmann said people are spreading false information in an attempt to lessen the precautions necessary to stop the spread. “Everyone must wear a mask unless they have a breathing condition or are under the age of two,” she said. “Government employees are not exempt, as has been the rumor. The only expeditions are breathing problems and under the age of two.” She also said if an event is outdoors and does not include social distancing, masks are required.” Currently, Pike County is trying to get a handle on the many outbreaks and the fallout from previous spread. “The event in Pittsfield from several weeks ago, we probably had 20 plus cases from that,” Bargmann said. “I can’t stress this enough. We are at an epidemic level. Our health providers are overwhelmed, our hospitals are overwhelmed, our health department is overwhelmed. We have to slow the spread.” Bargmann said regions one, five, seven and eight are already at restricted levels. “We have already received our warning,” Bargmann said. “We could face the same level at any time.”

By DAVID CAMPHOUSE Pike Press The Pike County board approved a new contract for the county’s ambulance department union members – giving employees a two percent raise. “It may not be as much as they wanted,” County Board Chair Andy Borrowman said. “We approved the contract that was previously ratified by the union members.” In addition, Borrowman said that the county paid to retrofit new ambulance equipment on an existing ambulance chassis. “We’re buying one now, and we plan to buy one near the end of the next fiscal year,” Borrowman said. “We feel like the number of calls that the department receives warrants new equipment.” The board approved the September board minutes as well as minutes from three separate budget

“I understand people don’t want to take advice from the government, but we’ve got to be more vigilant and take precautions [...]”

Pittsfield Lake and Bow Lake to host first ever Pike County Big Buck Classic Frisbee Golf Tournament By DAVID CAMPHOUSE Pike Press Up to 100 amateur and professional disc golf players will take part in the first ever Pike County Big Buck Classic Frisbee Golf Tournament at Lake Pittsfield and Barry’s Bow Lake courses Saturday, Nov. 14. Both courses were designed by renowned course designer Gateway Disc Sport’s Dave Mac of St. Louis. “Sign up is available until the morning of the tournament, but we strongly encourage participants to sign up early,” Pittsfield Lake Disc Golf Course Director Patrick Lamb said. “We currently have 51 participants signed up.” Lamb stated that the event will require players to complete both the Barry and Pittsfield courses. “The courses complement each other,” Lamb said. “Bow Lake is wide open and more forgiving. Pittsfield is more complex and unforgiving. The winner will be a well-rounded player that can play a tight, accurate game, but also has a lot of power.” According to Lamb, amateur participants will compete for gift packs of shirts, Frisbees and other disc golf gear, while professional disc golf players will be competing for a cash prize.

Early voting popular in Pike County By BETH ZUMWALT Pike Press The 2020 elections are less than one week away, but approximately 2,100 Pike County voters have already voted, either in-person at the county clerk’s office or by mail. “We haven’t counted today’s yet,” Dena Stinebaker of the Pike County Clerk’s office said Tuesday morning. “But as of yesterday we had received 800 mail-in votes. There are 314 people who requested ballots who haven’t sent them in yet, unless they are in today’s mail.” Those votes can be received for the next several days. Stinebaker said the office has seen approximately 1,300 early voters in the county clerk’s office since Sept. 24 when early voting started. “We have been really busy,” Stinebaker said. “We had ballots for voting in our

office and ballots for the voting places. We have had to borrow from those and order more to replace them.” Stinebaker also reports all the spots for election judges have been filled. “It took me until 5:30 p.m. Sunday night,” Stinebaker said. “We had 25 election judge spots to fill. A lot of our workers are older and were afraid of getting COVID .” Voters who have voted and those who are planning to vote will have the opportunity to vote for president, U.S. Senator, U.S Representative, Illinois State Representative, Pike County Circuit Clerk, Pike County State’s Attorney and six county board members. There is also a chance to vote for Tad Brenner, as judge in the circuit court. He is running unopposed. Bryce Glecker and Zachary Boren are running for circuit clerk and state’s attorney respectively in Pike County and are

unopposed. There are six county board members running and there are only six on the ballot. Voters have choices for president, state representative, United States Senator and U.S. Representative. Voters can also chose to vote Yes or No on the proposed Fair Tax or Progressive Tax issue. It is the first option on the ballot and the wording of the question has been questioned by some, saying it is confusing. A No vote means you are opposed to the idea of a progressive tax and a yes vote means you support it. The wording of the question was mandated by state statute. Polling places will be open from 6 a.m. until 7 p.m. If anyone is unsure where they should vote, contact the Pike County Clerk’s Office at 217-285-6812. That office will be open this Saturday from 9 a.m to 3 p.m. for early voting and will be open Monday, Nov. 2 from 8:30 a.m. until 7 p.m. The office will be open election day as well.

Online results only By BETH ZUMWALT Pike Press Pike County residents who have always enjoyed the social aspect of an election, gathering in the courthouse rotunda, watching results as they are posted on the big board, will not be able to participate this year. The courthouse will be closed due to COVID restrictions. “We will be posting results online,” Natalie Roseberry, County Clerk, said. “We will post results as they come in as well as a final tally.” Results will be posted by PTR Election Results at platinumelectionresults.com.

New Port Statistical Area approved on Illinois and Mississippi rivers

By DAVID CAMPHOUSE Pike Press The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has announced the approval of the MidAmerica Port Commission (MAPC) Port Statistical Area (PSA). The new PSA on the Mississippi and Illinois Rivers – which includes 69 miles of the Illinois River and 189 miles of the Mississippi River between Illinois, Missouri and Iowa – is the largest PSA in the country and the nation’s only three-state port commission. The MAPC ranks among the top fifty ports in the United States. According to Pike-Scott Farm Bureau Executive Director Blake Roderick, the new distinction of the MAPC as a PSA serves as an important marketing tool for the area’s grain terminals and an important economic development tool to attract new businesses to the region. In addition, a PSA is an important way the Corps of Engineers helps rank ports based on the amount of cargo shipped or received. “The PSA is a vehicle to collect and compile all of the traffic and freight that originates and arrives in the region,� Roderick said. “It’s a way to show how much traffic is on the rivers. The PSA provides information to shippers and businesses and could lead to new businesses being attracted to the region.� Roderick also said that the PSA is an authoritative way to record and disseminate the quantity of agricultural commodities and other freight shipped and received in the region. “We can use the information to help businesses and to promote the quantity of commodities through here,� Roderick said. “It can show shippers that we’ve got the infrastructure within the region.� MAPC Chairman Douglas Aeilts agreed that the PSA distinction is critical in promoting the shipping capacity of the Mississippi and Illinois Rivers abroad. “It’s a marketing tool,� Aeilts said. “We want to make sure the world real-

The Mid-America Port Commission (MAPC) region was recently designated as a Port Statistical Area (PSA) in order to better record and report river traffic to the Army Corps of Engineers. The MAPC includes over 59 public and private terminals in six Iowa counties, nine Missouri counties and eleven Illinois counties. Public port authorities within the MAPC include the Southeast Iowa Regional Economic and Port Authority, Lewis County (MO) Port District, Marion/Ralls County (MO) Port District, Pike/Lincoln County (MO) Port District and the Mid-America Intermodal Authority Port District (IL).

izes how much freight is on these rivers.� Aielts added that the creation of the PSA is an effort by the Army Corps of Engineers to track commercial river usage and compare usage between regions. While the PSA is not used by the Corps of Engineers to prioritize navigation infrastructure and operations and maintenance projects, it assists the region in improving its rankings for operating and maintenance funding of river projects by helping the Corps of Engineers gather more accurate shipping data. “The creation of the PSA is a result of the Corps wanting to improve their reporting of freight on the rivers,� Aeilts said. The MAPC includes over 59 public and private terminals in six Iowa counties, nine Missouri counties and eleven Illinois counties. Public port authorities within the MAPC include the Southeast Iowa Regional Economic and Port Authority, Lewis County (MO) Port District, Marion/Ralls County (MO)

Port District, Pike/Lincoln County (MO) Port District and the Mid-America Intermodal Authority Port District (IL). One responsibility of the port statistical area is to inform the Corps of Engineers of changes in terminal ownership along with new or decommissioned terminals and docks. The MAPC was formed in 1998 by a compact between the states of Illinois, Iowa, and Missouri. The MAPC is governed by a board of nine commissioners – three from each state. One commissioner is appointed by the respective governor and two are appointed collectively by the county boards/commissions within the legislative boundary in each state. Pike-Scott Farm Bureau executive director Blake E. Roderick is a county board appointed commissioner. More information about the MAPC and the public and private ports and terminals within the MAPC is available on their website www.midamericaport.com.

Council denies Swartz de-annexation request

By BETH ZUMWALT Pike Press By a unanimous vote, the Pittsfield City Council denied Donald Swartz’s request to withdraw from the city of Pittsfield. The matter was decided at the last city council meeting, Oct. 21. Swartz wants to deannex property located at 575 Kesphol and 685 Kesphol Street in the northeast corner of town. Alderman Bill Grimsley attended the meeting via phone and Kevin Ketchum, another alderman, was absent. Swartz had asked to de-annex from the city, saying there was no benefit from him being in the city limits. “I wanted to build a fence on my property and was willing to obtain the $40 permit, but then I told I needed to pay $150 to $200 for a variance. That’s racketeering,� he said after the meeting. Swartz said he is willing to take the next step, which would include placing the matter on the ballot and allowing voters to have a voice. Swartz and Mike Hollahan disagreed on who would bear the cost of an election. Swartz said it was the city’s responsibility and Hollahan, the city of Pittsfield’s attorney, said Swartz would bear the cost. The next election where the matter could be placed on a ballot is April 6, 2021. According to Natalie Roseberry, county clerk, there are no filing costs. The matter only has to be certified by the village or city clerk in the area of question. The council did agree to vacate an alley at that has never been used on North Jackson. The alley runs from Jackson Street to the rear of the property owned by Robert and Katherine Couch. The alley

was discovered when the Couches were tearing off their garage and rebuilding it and in the process wanted to change the way they entered the building. The council agreed to close the alley and divide the property between the neighbors on either side with each neighbor getting 10 feet. The council also agreed to allow Derek Oitker and Dr.Kendra Conkright to build a five-foot fence around their property at 708 W. Adams. City ordinance limits fences to four feet, but the couple has a special needs child and asked for the higher fence for her safety. Also approved was changing a permitted use in the industrial park to allow for a vet clinic and animal hospital. The lot is currently not in use and is east of the lot owned by Carnes Trucking. In a split vote, the council will make the intersection of Perry and Monroe a fourway stop. Robert Wilson, Robert Richard and Robert Wood voted No, while Beth White, Kevin Wombles, Paul Lennon and Bill Grimsley approved the measure. Police Chief Michael Starman said the intersection was a dangerous one, but he wasn’t sure a stop sign was the answer. He said he had talked to a resident who lives on the intersection about finding another place to park, thus improving visibility but said the resident wasn’t interested. The two new, north-south stop signs will be installed with red, flashing lights for the first several months to remind motorists of the change. City-wide clean up starts this weekend. The city maintenance building will accept items from 7 a.m to 7 p.m. weekdays and 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday. The clean-up will extend through Nov. 7.

Left to right: Emily Pursley, Mary Pursley, Earl Pursley and Michael Boren recently moved bound volumes of the Pike Press to the Pike County History Museum at East School in Pittsfield. The volumes date back to the 1840s, when Pike County’s newspaper of record was the Pike County Free Press, operated by Abraham Lincoln’s secretary John Nicolay. Hard copy volumes of the paper will be available for review when the museum reopens in the spring. In the meantime, papers may be viewed on microfilm at the Pittsfield Public Library.

Western board authorizes superintendent to prepare levy By DAVID CAMPHOUSE Pike Press The Western school board authorized Superintendent Jessica Funk to prepare the district’s tax levy. Funk was authorized to estimate the levy necessary for the district’s budget, and a truth in taxation hearing will be scheduled as necessary. The board approved the consent agenda, which consisted of board policy updates, a referral and linkage agreement with Mental Health Centers of Western Illinois, a memorandum of understanding between Parent and Child Together (PACT) for Western Illinois Head Start/Early Head Start and the Western/ Pleasant Hill Prevention and Pre-K programs. Western elementary and high school principal Connie Thomas reported that parent-teacher conferences took place via Google or phone conference Thursday, Oct. 22 and Friday, Oct. 23. In addition, the SAT was given to Western seniors Wednesday, Oct. 14. The PSAT will be

administered to juniors who elect to take the test on Thursday, Oct. 29. Western junior high principal Brandi Pennock said that parent-teacher conferences are scheduled for Thursday, Oct. 29 and Friday, Oct. 30. Board members approved a cooperative agreement with Pleasant Hill for girls basketball, which was already approved by the Pleasant Hill board. Western’s board also approved a resolution to adopt an e-learning program in lieu of the district’s scheduled emergency snow days. The resignation of custodian/bus driver Chad Utterback was approved effective Oct. 9, as was the resignation of cook Julie Foster effective Sept. 25. Shawn Makepeace was named head junior high boys basketball coach. Kathy Curfman, Lanae Maloney, Kate Marable, Patrice Mills, Bailey Moyers and Wyatt Young were all added to the district’s substitute list.

Frisbee Golf (Continued from A1) Lamb encourages players of all ages and skill levels to take part. “The tournament will be split into several different categories,� Lamb said. “You’re not actually playing against 50 other people – you’ll be playing against others in your age bracket and at your skill level.� In preparation for the first Big Buck Classic, Lamb and Picture Pittsfield’s Parks and Recreation Committee will be preparing the Lake Pittsfield Disc Golf Course and moving some baskets to secondary pin locations. Lamb

requests community support Saturday, Nov. 7 at 9 a.m. with help trimming and cutting back weeds at the Pittsfield Lake course. In case of rain, the course maintenance day will occur Sunday, Nov. 8 at 1 p.m. Lamb also said that volunteers are needed the day of the tournament to help manage the event. “The day of, it’s all hands on deck for volunteers,� Lamb said. “We need observers to help locate discs and keep the pace of the tournament up.� To volunteer, contact Patrick Lamb at 217883-3438.

Ambulance (Continued from A1) The board also heard an annual report from Hickory Ridge Landfill’s Chris Coulter. Coulter reported on the financial status of the landfill and the landfill’s environmental conditions. “This has been the most challenging year financially in my memory,� Coulter said. “But we saw less impact than was maybe originally anticipated.� Coulter went on to say that the volume of methane produced at the landfill warranted selling the trash by-product to a natural gas company. The methane produced by the landfill will be trucked to Missouri and injected into a natural gas pipeline. Pike County Economic Development Corporation Executive Director Brenda Middendorf reported that her organization is applying for a Community Block Grant to repair a bridge south of Nebo. The board voted to support the grant application. The board also voted to reappoint David Iftner and Danielle Benz to the Pike County Board of Health for terms to expire in June 2023. An exchange took place during the old business portion of the meeting between

County Treasurer Scott Syrcle and Pike County Health Department Director of Nursing Sharon Bargmann regarding treasurer's office staff not wearing masks. It was pointed out in an October public safety committee meeting that county staff should wear masks to set a good example to residents. Bargmann indicated that county staff should lead by example and wear masks. Syrcle responded by saying that he does not feel that the governor’s executive order mandates mask usage by government employees. “The order says ‘should,’ but it doesn’t say ‘shall,’� Syrcle said. According to board chair Borrowman, it is incumbent on Pike County residents to help stop the spread of COVID-19. “We’re going into winter, and the numbers may go up,� Borrowman said. “I understand people don’t want to take advice from the government, but we’ve got to be more vigilant and take precautions, especially when we’re in a group.� Board member Roger Hannell, who has recently been beset by health problems, took time at the end of the board meeting to complement the Pike County ambulance service and the county’s health care providers for their service.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR A slightly different request for Nov. 3, 2020 Everyone has heard me say to vote. Vote ahead of time. Vote by absentee. Just Vote.

Just want to thank the Pike Press, the Pike County Express and WBBA for putting out all the notices for the Pike County Christmas Basket Program for the past 19 years. I am Carla Allen and I coordinate the program. This year, due to COVID-19 concerns,

The state of Illinois is almost assuredly going to raise taxes. The current deficits, even without the lost revenue due to Covid-19, almost guarantee it. The mostly likely increase would be to increase income tax 1%. This can be done no matter whether you vote no on the referendum or not. Other choices might include taxing retirement income or taxing services such as lawyers, doctors, auto repair labor etc. Again, the Illinois government can do that now if they

Now, I need to tell all of you who will vote at your polling place that the workers there are your public servants. If we didn’t care about your democracy and feel that you should have a say in your government, we wouldn’t be there. The point is: please protect us on Nov. 3rd. Most of the poll workers are a little older. Some come with prior conditions that would make Covid-19 more danger-

ous to them. You are encouraged to wear a mask. I’m imploring you to wear a mask. How would you feel if poll workers became sick in the days after you voted? We wish you good health and a pleasant experience. Maybe we’ll see you at the polls.

our program has changed for this year. I put an article out in September that stated the changes for the program. I sent it to the Pike Press and the Pike County Express. Both papers ran the article, but on Oct. 3, I received a bill for that article from the Pike Press for $35.88. I have put articles like this in both papers and have never had to pay before. I am just writing to let everyone know that the only articles that will be in any

paper will now be in the Pike Co. Express and on WBBA. Pike County Christmas Basket is a not for profit organization, working for the citizens of Pike County. During a normal year, we give food, clothing and toys. If anyone has any questions about this, please give me a call at 217-285-2726. Sincerely,

so choose. What the Illinois government cannot do now is tax different income brackets at different rates. The current proposal, if the referendum passes, is to increase the rates for those whose income is above $250,000. This $250,000 is net income, after personal exemptions and standard deductions are subtracted, along with any other deductions or credits an individual taxpayer may be allowed. If its a small business, this is after all expenses are deducted, which would include such items as payroll, cost of inventory, utilities, depreciation(or large purchases that qualify to be expensed), or other business related expenses. In other words, this is money

Its is only income over $250,000 that will be taxed at the higher rate. Yes, they could later change the rates in different income brackets. But, they already have the power to change the rates on everybody, the same rate whether you make $20,000, $50,000, $100,000, a million dollars, or even a hundred million dollars!

PICKINGS FROM PIKE’S PAST 125 YEARS AGO: ELECTRIC LIGHTS TURNED ON IN COURTHOUSE 150 Years Ago Nov. 3, 1870 A trip by rail to St. Louis and back can be made in 22 hours, leaving four or five hours for business in that city. A tri-weekly stage line has been established between Quincy and New Canton. Our Pittsfield public schools are well attended, and a large number of paying pupils from out of the district are in attendance. Pike County’s population for 1870 is 30,793. This compares with 27,249 in 1860 and 18,899 in 1850. 125 Years Ago Nov. 6, 1895 Saturday night was a gala event in Pittsfield, but of a wholly impromptu character. A trial of the electric lighting of the courthouse brought out a great many people, and when it was found that all was working well, the doors were thrown open, and the building was soon filled. The illuminated spire with its circle of electric lights is very beautiful, and when fairly ablaze with light from the outside a very handsome picture is presented. The dedication of the new courthouse has been set for Saturday, Nov. 16. A general invitation is extended to all citizens of the county. Last Thursday morning, about 5:15, people of Pittsfield were aroused from their slumbers by the most severe earthquake disturbance that has ever occurred within anyone’s recollection here. The orchestra under the leadership of Prof. Field of Pittsfield performed at Time last week. They discoursed

some very fine music, and too much praise cannot be said of the vocal music. Although the hours were from 7 to 10, all seemed loath to depart. Messrs. Hill and son last week finished boring a well over two hundred feet deep on Main Street in Perry, opposite the hotel. It is said it will furnish 5000 gallons per day of very pleasant tasting, soft water. 100 Years Ago Nov. 3, 1920 Returns indicate the election of Harding by an overwhelming vote. Even Pike County elected the entire Republican ticket: Ray Ruyle, circuit clerk; Barry Mumford, state’s attorney; Merle Barber, treasurer; L. J. Calloway, coroner; and Lou Galloway, surveyor. The first three Republican winners are young men and veterans of the World War. An assistant district engineer of Springfield arrived here last Wednesday, and is engaged in making a preliminary survey for route 36. If your lights go out, blame Old Man Mississippi, the Father of Waters. The big stream is at such a low stage now that the power plant at Keokuk is able to run only at part capacity. The Pittsfield Bearcats again tasted blood, as they defeated Hannibal 21 to 14. This is the strongest team P. H. S. has ever had. Towns all over Pike County reported a light fall of genuine snow Thursday. 75 Years Ago Nov. 7, 1945 A large percentage of land owners have signed for a soil

Sonja Ann (Hubbard) Welch Sonja Ann (Hubbard) Welch, beloved mother, wife and homemaker, departed this life on Tuesday, October 20, 2020. She was 81. Mrs. Welch, formerly of Nebo, Illinois, was living in LaPlace, Louisiana for the last 35 years, with her husband, Kenneth. Mrs. Welch was born on November 17, 1938 to Frank and Norma Hubbard of Grimes Hill in Nebo. Sonja attended Nebo School. She was formerly the wife of Dale Goewey, and together they had six children— Julie, Jill, Kevin, Lisa, Penny and Michael. She later married Kenneth Welch and together had two more children, Elizabeth and Kenneth II. Sonja was grandmother (“frandma�) to 23 grandchildren, great-grandmother to 44, and great-great grandmother to 10. Mrs. Welch enjoyed caring for others in her earlier years. She was a bus driver to many school children, an in-home caregiver for the elderly and special-needs children, and a mother figure to many of her childrens’ friends. She enjoyed camping trips with her Boy Scouts and spending hours in Walmart, shopping and chatting with her local friends. She was known for her goofy jokes and giving personality, and always had a meal to share with someone who needed it. She especially loved getting back “home� to Pike County, Illinois, and having a houseful of company. Sonja had always trusted in her Lord and Savior, Jesus

Christ, and is now at peace in His loving arms. Sonja is survived by her husband of 47 years, Kenneth; her daughters, Julie (Frank) Kremer, Jill Makepeace, Lisa (Alex) Makepeace, Penny Roig, Elizabeth Welch; and her sons, Kevin (Mary) Goewey, Michael (Amanda) Goewey and Kenneth (Karla) Welch II.

This will also be a full moon and time to set clocks back one hour and November will ring in! Quite an eventful weekend coming on.

MILTON

Trick or treat in Milton Saturday night The Village of Milton will have Trick or Treating on Halloween night from 6-8 p.m. Here are a few tips to help you stay safe this year. Maintain 6-feet of social distance. This applies to both trick-or-treaters and those handing out candy. Wear a proper face covering. A Halloween mask is not a proper substitute for a cloth face covering. Masks should also be worn by individuals handing out candy. Consider leaving individually wrapped candy (spaced apart) on a

early and went into the County Clerk’s office early last Friday morning, complete with my mask and gloves on. Voting early was not at all difficult, and the ladies in the office were extremely cordial and helpful. Another thing I did while I was in town was try out that “Curbside Groceries� at County Market. That was so easy to do, and I will probably continue to use that at one or two places. All I had to do was call in and give them my list of groceries, give them my phone number, tell them the method of payment I would be using and wait for them to call me. I received a call within 20 minutes and then went to the store and parked right at the front of the store. I called to tell them I was there, and they gave me the amount it was going to cost and out came the gentleman with my groceries which were loaded into my trunk. This all saved me minutes as well as being out in the public possibly being exposed to all kinds of sickness. Just makes lots of sense. Trivia Answers from Last Week: 1.

Pikeland parents express concern over remote learning By DAVID CAMPHOUSE Pike Press Several parents made public comment at the Wednesday, Oct. 21 Pikeland board meeting – each expressing concern with the district’s remote learning plan, the district’s online learning platform and the long-term effects of isolation on students. Pikeland Superintendent Carol Kilver said she understood parent concerns. “I think parents are worried about how all this is going to impact their children’s futures,� Kilver said. “Our ultimate goal is to keep our doors open until the state says we can’t.� In the meeting’s consent agenda, the board approved the September board meeting minutes, paid the district’s bills, and agreed to sell a 2013 lawn mower through a sealed bid process. Board members conducted a first reading of board policy changes. The policy changes mainly deal with Title IX sexual harassment rules. The policy changes require segregation of duties during the investigation of a sexual harassment claim. District staff will be required to undergo further training for Title IX compliance. Kilver updated the board on the district’s finances. The superintendent said that 25 percent of each of the district's funds are spent, which is appropriate for this time of year. Kilver also notified the board to start thinking about any changes

to the district’s tax levy, which will occur in November. The superintendent also told board members to anticipate lower sales tax revenue when considering the district’s budget. Superintendent Kilver also discussed a sizeable mental health grant the district received. According to Kilver, the grant will fund a social worker to counsel students, provide training for staff to better deal with students who have experienced trauma, and the grant will fund the development of survey tools to analyze student well-being. The grant project, according to Kilver, will be rolled out in December or January. “Our goal is December,� Kilver said. “We’re working on a job description for the social worker position.� Following closed session, the board approved the resignation of Mary Pursley as PCS Scholastic/Quiz Bowl sponsor effective Oct. 6, as well as the resignation of PHS hot lunch employee Charlene DeJaynes effective the end of the school year. In addition, board members approved hiring Holly Lowe as a virtual fourth grade instructor at PCS and hired Kaitlyn McDevitt as PCS Scholastic/Quiz Bowl sponsor for the current school year. Dryden Craven was approved as a volunteer assistant boys basketball coach. Finally, the board approved a Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA) for a Pikeland employee, who was not named.

Griggsville-Perry audit shows improving finances By DAVID CAMPHOUSE Pike Press At Griggsville-Perry’s Wednesday, Oct. 21 school board meeting, Suzanne Steckel from Jacksonville accounting firm Zumbahlen, Eyth, Surratt, Foote & Flynn, LTD., presented the district’s 2020 fiscal year audit report, revealing positive financial strides made over the last year. As recently as three years ago, Superintendent Kent Hawley reported, the district was placed at the state’s financial “watch� level, the Illinois State Board of Education’s (ISBE) lowest financial rating. “The highlight of this year’s audit is that our rating went up to 3.45, which is at the ‘review’ level – the state’s second highest rating,� Hawley said. According to ISBE data, the last time G-P’s financial rating reached 3.45 was during the 2009 fiscal year. The improved audit results, Hawley said, can be attributed to a number of metrics. “Our spending per dollar of revenue has dropped,� Hawley said. “In the previous year, due to repaying a bond, we paid out $1.07 for every dollar we took in.� The superintendent went on to say that the district’s individual funds are in better shape than a year ago, and the district has more cash on hand to deal with unforeseen circumstances. “All of our fund balances increased from the beginning of the year to the end, which is what you want to see,� Hawley said. “And the amount of cash on hand we have as a district increased from 82 days at the beginning of the fiscal year to 91 days at the end.� Hawley also said that the state coming through with all of its scheduled payments has played a part in the district’s improved financial performance, but he cautioned this year’s pandemicfueled economic downturn could potentially change things. “We’ve had a couple of good years, in that the state made all the payments they were supposed to make,� Hawley said. “We’ll see how this year goes in light of all the political things we can’t control.� Following the presentation of the report, board members approved the 2019-2020 audit report. The board went on to authorize the letting of bids for the lease of the school farm. According to Hawley, the farm consists of 111 tillable acres south of Griggsville. Lease proceeds, Hawley said, may be used for activities that improve K-8 education in the district. “We’ve used the money for new textbooks and curriculum materials in the past,� Hawley said. Applications for renting the ground will be accepted until 4 p.m. Monday, Nov. 16. Applications are available by

Illinois Supreme Court GENERAL INFORMATION upholds Pope convictions

The Supreme Court of Illinois will not consider an appeal of the 2018 sexual assault, indecent solicitation and sexual abuse convictions of John A. Pope, of Pearl, according to formal notification received by Pike County State’s Attorney Zachary Boren. Pope’s convictions by a Pike County jury for predatory criminal sexual assault of a child, indecent solicitation of a child and aggravated criminal sexual abuse were upheld in May by the Illinois Court of Appeals for the Fourth District. The decision was then appealed to the Supreme Court. Boren, who prosecuted the case, said the Supreme Court delivered its mandate to the Appellate Court effective Nov.4. “This case is a win for our community,� Boren said. “Those who commit reprehensible sex offenses against children deserve the strictest punishment available under Illinois law.� On April 18, 2018, a Pike County jury returned verdicts finding Pope guilty of five counts of predatory criminal sexual assault of a child, and also finding him guilty of two counts of indecent solicitation of a child

and three counts of aggravated criminal sexual abuse. The jury returned a verdict of not guilty on four additional counts of predatory criminal sexual assault of a child. Then on Oct. 22, 2018, Judge Diane M. Lagoski sentenced Pope to two consecutive natural life sentences. At trial, Boren and Assistant State’s Attorney Leecia Carnes represented the State, with Quincy attorney Anthony Cameron representing Pope. On appeal, the office of the Illinois State’s Attorneys Appellate Prosecutor represented the State, while attorney Gary Wangler of Belleville represented Pope. “The trial was a team effort,� Boren said. “All the members of my staff put in many extra hours to bring this case to a successful conclusion. And the courthouse staff and the Pike County Sheriff’s Department provided a great deal of extra assistance.� The Pike County Sheriff’s Department was the lead investigative agency on the case. Witnesses at the trial included multiple case agents, DNA analysts from the Illinois State Police Crime Laboratory and representatives of DCFS and the Children’s Advocacy Center.

PCSD charge Hull man with sex offender violations Chief Deputy Zachary Orr of the Pike County Sheriff’s Department has announced the arrest of Roy Lee Irick, 67, of Hull, on a charge of failure to register as a sex offender and violation of probation for an original charge of failure to register as a sex offender. Irick, who has a history of sex offender violations, was arrested Friday, Oct. 23, at his residence in the 200 block of Sweet Street, Hull. Irick was arrested, transported and lodged in the Pike County Jail. Irick was convicted in Pike County 2016 for failure to register as a sex offender. Irick received felony probation. Irick was again convicted in 2018 for failure to register as a sex offender. Irick was resentenced to probation along with jail time. Irick is still on felony probation during this current arrest.

Olson has two top 10 finishes at sectional By BETH ZUMWALT Pike Press Nancy Olson came within .19 milliseconds of meeting her goal Saturday in the IHSA Sectional Swim Meet in Edwardsville Olson had tried to shave enough time from her finishes to advance to state in the 100 butterfly and fifth in the 50 freestyle, where she also had her personal best. Her time in the 50 free style was 25.53 and 59.54 in the 100 fly. Olson is Pittsfield High School’s lone swimmer, competing in meets as an individual. “I shaved .19 milliseconds off my time in the butterfly,� the senior swimmer said. “I had already dropped 40 milliseconds. I’m getting closer to my goal.� Olson drives to Sheridan Swim Club in Quincy for practices. She makes the trip, Monday through Thursdays, 5:30 p.m. to 8 p.m., Fridays 5:30 to 7 and 8 a.m to 11 Saturdays. “I swim in IHSA meets and in USA meets,� Olson said. “I have a few of those left so I can still improve on my times.� In addition to being a collegiate-worthy swimmer, Olson carries a 4.91 GPA and is active in several school organizations.
