By BETH ZUMWALT Pike Press The new children’s dental clinic opening in the former Quincy Medical Group building at the corner of Adams and Franklin in Pittsfield is nearly ready to open. The clinic expects to hold a grand opening Dec. 2. Anita Andress, RN, BSN, administrator of Pike County Health Department (PCHD), has announced the opening of the facility at 606 West Adams Street in Pittsfield. A public open house will be held from 2 to 5 p.m. Monday, Dec. 2 at the site. The public is invited to attend, to meet the dental clinic staff, and to tour the newly renovated space that will house the dental clinic. The Pike County Dental Clinic will serve the oral health needs of low income children in Pike County and the surrounding areas. This will include serving those children through the age of 21 who have coverage through Medicaid or income eligible children who have no dental insurance. The clinic will be owned and operated by the Pike County Health Department. Dr. Stephen Liesen, long-time local dentist, has agreed to serve as the volunteer Dental Director for the clinic. Much work has been done on the building since the PCHD took possession earlier this year. The dental clinic will take over the north side of the former QMG building. Four of the examining rooms on the north, east side of the building have been outfitted as exam rooms.
“We have four exam rooms with four chairs,” Andress said. “We would not have had that many but we were able to buy equipment from a dental clinic that
“We had to make the waiting area a little smaller to make the first exam room handicapped accessible. Now you will be able to get a wheel chair in there.”
Anita Andress PCHD administrator was going out of business.” Quincy Medical Group also left a number of pieces of equipment as well as some furniture in the building. While most of the equipment has a history, the X-ray machine does not. “It is state-of-the-art,” Greg Sandidge, dental consultant helping with the design and formation of the new clinic, said. “It will give a panoramic complete circle of the upper jaw. It can be used in both medical and dentistry. This will be one of the few centers in this area to have the machine.” The waiting area and the office personal area is pretty much the same as when the former occupants used the building. “We had to make the waiting area
Deer Expo tonight at Pittsfield church By BETH ZUMWALT Pike Press The annual Deer Expo hosted by the Pittsfield Assembly of God will be held tonight and the event should be as spectacular as the ones held in recent years. A free pulled-pork dinner will be served from 5:30 to 7. After eating, visitors to the expo can check out the vendors or visit the world-class deer mount display. Instead of a guest speaker, the night will consist of a look back at some of the past Deer Expos. “We don’t have a specific speaker this year,” Ashlee Nash, executive assistant at the church, said. “But it will be an amazing event, with something different up our sleeve. It will be a look at how we got to where we are today with this event.” Several items will be on display for viewing and a contest for the best trophy deer mount will be held with cash prizes in one of three categories –
most unique, best overall and European mount. Those who have won previously are not eligible. Giveaways include but are not limited to: a Winchester SuperX2 semi-automatic shotgun, Reconyx hyper fire scouting camera, H and R Ultra Slug, 20 gauge with laminate stock, Henry Lever Action .22 rifle with octagonal barrel, Ruter 10/22 tactical rifle, several youth hunts and gift certificates for trophy mounts. Sponsors of the event include: Pike County Archery, Whitetail Properties, Pike County Real Estate, Lotz Masonry, Midwest Land Sales, Pike Pig Systems, Hortons Video, American Sport of Havana, , Farm and Home, Gordon Holmes, Whitetails and Wings Taxidermy, Lodgeman Taxidermy, Schells in Springfield, State Farm Insurance, Spring Creek Hardwoods, Non-Typical Outfitters, Hoskins Iron and Metal, Lowes of Hannival,, Liehr Taxidermy, Alco, Meijers and Meehans of Greenfield.
a little smaller to make the first exam room handicapped accessible,” Andress said. “Now you will be able to get a wheel chair in there.” Andress said support staff has been hired. A few December appointments will be made, but the clinic hopes to be busy starting in January. While the clinic will be operating, the Pike County Health Department will be busy, as well. Plans are continuing to relocate the health department from its present location to the Adams Street facility. As soon as renovations to the north side are completed for the dental clinic, renovations to the south side of the building will begin so that family planning and WIC can move into that area. “And when that is completed we hope to start on enlarging the building to the north and to the west,” Andress said. “That will include an administrative office, a classroom and environmental health. The basement will be used for storage, home health and other needs.” Andress hopes the entire department can be moved into the building by July of next year. “We are looking for grants and low interest loans,” Andress said. Once PCHD has moved to the Adams/Franklin location, Andress says they plan to sell the building at the corner of Jefferson and Madison.

Somebody tell them it’s November! Sunday morning’s short but hard rain left many streets in Pittsfield flooded after leaves clogged the drains, making pools of water. Left to right, Aadyn Myers, Tori Rumple, Blayne Sidwell and Ian Kramer took advantage of the nearly 70 degree weather, plus the puddle, to hang on to one more swim for the year.

A huge collection of sheds was on display last year at the Assembly of God’s annual deer expo.
Although parts of Illinois were destroyed Sunday by tornadoes, minimal damage was reported in Pike County. Several trees blew down and there were damages reported to vehicles. Above, a truck in Detroit, owned by Justin Heatherly, was among the worst damaged. A large tree blew down in the yard of the Calvary Baptist parsonage, a pool on west Lowry blew over and a truck owned by Billy Doyle received damages in the storm.
Houses’ generosity will live on in memory By BETH ZUMWALT Pike Press Ed House died last week and his wife, Melvina died in 2008. But the generosity of the couple will be seen in and around Pike County for years to come. House worked for 40 years for Farm Credit after serving a distinguished career in the military. He and Melvina had no children so much of their time and effort went into community projects. “Whenever we had a dinner at the Community Center to raise funds, you could always count on Ed and Melvina to be there helping with what ever needed to be done,” Chuck Barber, a member of the
Community Center board, said. “Then at the end of the evening you would find they had also left a nice check.” According to Barber, House was very proud of his military service and the fact he served on the staff of General Douglas MacArthur during World War II. Barber said House was one of the most generous men he had ever met and is the only local Rotarian to achieve major donor status by making a $10,000 donation to the club. “Several have donated that much, but he was the only one to make it in a lump sum,” Barber said. Barber said the Houses collected Norman Rockwell plates
and eventually donated 8-10 of those to the Community Center, where they hang today. House’s generousity did not stop at the Community Center. “He and Melvina gave $100,000 to the hospital multiple times,” Kathy Hull, CEO of Illini, said. “He was at the opening ceremonies and then was able to come to the 70th anniversary birthday party. He was very interested in the hospital, especially the wellness area.” The program from the 70th anniversary celebration said of Ed and Melvina, “Our community has benefited in ways too numerous to count. From the playground equipment at Lowry Park to a more recent gift to the Veterans Memorial,
each gift is a reminder of the caring and generous nature of Ed and Melvina House.” Johnson Stillwell, a close friend of House’s, said House was a very generous man and was partial to education and chldren’s projects. “He sold the land where Pikeland Middle School is to the school district for $30,000,” Stilwell said. “He had been offered $200,000 for it. He also donated the playground equipment for it and Lowry Park.” Stilwell said House was a humble, modest man. “He didn’t blow about what he had done,” Stillwell said.

The fourth annual Small Business Saturday will be Nov. 30. Small Business Saturday is a day to support the local businesses that create jobs, boost the economy and preserve neighborhoods around the country. It is a national movement to drive shoppers to local merchants across the U.S. The inaugural Small Business Saturday was held in 2010 and, according to American Express, last year over $5.5 billion of consumer spending has been attributed to Small Business Saturday. “We are fortunate to have many wonderful small businesses in Pike County,” Kaye Iftner, Pike County Chamber executive director, said. “They are our neighbors and our friends. When you do business with these folks you simultaneously help create jobs, fund more local services through sales tax and promote community development. Small Business Saturday recognizes the critical role small businesses play in Pike County.”

Community Foundation unveils new Main Street logo, offers funds to Pike County By JEANETTE WALLACE Pike Press The Community Foundation, a not-for-profit group that helps charitable organizations throughout West Central Illinois and Northeast Missouri, unveiled its new logo Thursday, Nov. 7 during the annual Friends of Philanthropy Celebration. According to Andy Sprague, chair-elect of the board of directors and a resident of Pike County, the new logo was created "to better define who we are and who we serve." The foundation currently
covers 12 counties in Illinois and Missouri. Last year, the Community Foundation announced that it would match funds up to $15,000 to each county whose residents chose to build a charitable endowment with the Community Foundation and reaches $15,000 by Nov. 1, 2015. Before the foundation offered this match, Pike County was the first county to create an endowment fund that would give out grant money only to organizations in Pike County or those that serve Pike County. "A group of Pike County citi-
zens had this idea that's now being used as a prototype for a program for other counties," Sprague said. "We've been able to help guide some of the counties that are participating." The Pike County Endowment fund serves as a permanent endowment benefiting Pike County residents, and grants from the fund will support charitable organizations, projects and programs in the county. Organizations hoping to receive a grant from the fund fill out an application with the Community Foundation and a fund council made
up of representatives of Pike County make recommendations for grants from the fund. "There's a group of very good people working on that out of Pike County," Jill Blickhan, executive director at the Community Foundation, said. The Pike County Endowment Fund is made up of donations from residents, businesses and organizations around Pike County who hope to give back to the community. "Many different organizations have benefitted from the Community Foundation," Sprague said.
Pittsfield Schools release students early due to maintenance problems By JEANETTE WALLACE Pike Press Two Pittsfield schools, Pikeland Community School (PCS) and Pittsfield High School, released students early Tuesday, Nov. 12 due to unforeseen maintenance problems. PCS released students Tuesday due to a plumbing problem. The
toilets in one of the bathrooms at the school would not flush and the sewer drains weren't draining. The students in that part of the building couldn't use the restrooms unless they went to the other side of the school. This plumbing problem also caused the building to smell. At about the same time, a large boiler leak in the pipes under
Pittsfield High School caused steam to build up and the school was unable to regulate the heating because of the leak. Because of the steam, the building also began to smell bad. "There was so much steam building up under the school that the building started to smell," Paula Hawley, superintendent, said.
Fortunately, there was no damage done at the school. "Once we figured out what was going on and we could shut the boilers off, we could stop the steam from coming up," Hawley said. Hawley explained that they were able to get workers in to fix both problems and the schools were reopened Wednesday, Nov. 13.

Council has questions about Maya expansion By BETH ZUMWALT Pike Press The Maya Restaurant on West Washington Street would like to expand. The plans were discussed at last night’s Pittsfield City Council meeting. According to the plans submitted by the restaurant’s contractor, the project involve building an addition to the northwest corner of the existing building, giving the restaurant more frontal exposure to Washington Street and making it L-shaped instead of rectangular. The restaurant is frequently busy with customers waiting for a table. The front of the restaurant is 21-feet from Washington
Street, instead of the required 35 feet. The new addition will also be 21 feet. Despite the fact the original building was already exempted from the required 35 feet, the new addition required a separate variance. Council members also questioned if the existing bathrooms will meet the new occupancy load and if they are required to be handicapped accessible. Tom Reinhardt, who serves has the city’s building inspector said he had requested the latest set of plans from the developer, but hasn’t received them yet. The council tabled the matter until their questions could be answered.
Great American Smokeout Nov. 21 Native’s home suffers
The 38th annual Great American Smokeout will be held Nov. 21. This event is held annually to encourage smokers to make a plan to quit, or to plan in advance and quit smoking on that day in an effort to stop permanently. Research shows that smokers are most successful in kicking
the habit when they have some means of support, such as nicotine replacement products, counseling, prescription medicine to lessen cravings, guide books, and the encouragement of friends and family members. The Smokeout has helped bring about dramatic changes in
Americans' attitudes about smoking, which have led to community programs and smoke-free laws that are now saving lives in many states. The event began in the 1970s when smoking and secondhand smoke were commonplace. Telephone quitlines are a convenient resource, available for free in
many states, including in Illinois. To access free phone counseling for tobacco cessation, call the Illinois Tobacco Quitline at 1-866-QUIT-YES (1-866-7848937). For more information, call Pike County Health Department at 217285-4407.

Jessica Borrowman opens new chiropractic business in Pittsfield By JEANETTE WALLACE Pike Press Jessica Borrowman opened Borrowman Chiropractic Monday, Nov. 18. “I’d like to take a different approach to healthcare, a more natural approach,” Borrowman said. Services she will offer are general chiropractic, acupuncture, women’s health and she also holds certification with the International Chiropractic Pedatric Association. “Women’s health is one of my special interests,” Borrowman said. Even so, she explained that she will see anyone who walks through her door. Borrowman is a 2002 honors graduate of Pittsfield High School and she graduated from Logan College of Chiropractic in Chesterfield, MO. in April 2013. She and her husband, Jon Borrowman who is a farmer and works for Bosch Power Tools, decided to come back to Pittsfield after living in the St. Louis area because they wanted to raise their two children, Frank and Finley, in a small community. “We were tired of the city life,” she said. She decided she wanted to go into chiropractic because she grew up seeing a chiropracter and she always had good results from it. In fact, visiting a chiropracter was the only thing that helped the headaches she always suffered from, she said.

significant damage A former Pittsfield resident, who now lives in Washington, Ill., one of the areas hit hardest by Sunday’s tornadoes, saw her home severely damaged in those storms. Julie Tomhave Faulkner, her husband, Brian and their three sons, were able to take cover in their basement and were uninjured but their home, its contents and their car were severely damaged. Brad Tomhave, Julie’s brother, said the family was in their base-
ment only a few minutes before the storm hit. Julie is the daughter of Ron and Donna Tomhave of Pittsfield. One of Julie’s classmates from the PHS class of 1991, Jill Clendenny Hartke, has established an account at Farmers State Bank where friends and family may make donations.

Peebles have joyful trip to St. Louis By BETH ZUMWALT Pike Press It was a wonderful trip to St. Louis for the Peebles family. Not only did they get great news about Jade, who has been battling a disease similar to cancer, but the family has been collecting toys for patients at Children’s Hospital and was able to take two car loads of toys with them. “I don’t think we could have gotten one more toy in either of those cars,” Jenny Peebles, Jade’s mother said. “My sister took her car and my in-laws took theirs and there was just enough room for us and them to sit. When we stopped at stop lights a toy would come flying up from the back.” Peebles said the staff at Children’s Hospital was thrilled to get the items and said that none of them could remember a family or individual ever donating that many toys at one time.
The Peebles started the drive after Jade was going for one of her treatments and saw that the toy bank was pretty bare. Children receiving chemotherapy are given the opportunity to pick out a toy to play with while they are receiving their treatments and then take it home with them. Jade told her parents she was concerned about the lack of toys and said she wanted to help. She and her mother went classroom to classroom explaining the situation to Jade’s fellow schoolmates at Pleasant Hill Elementary and high school. Local newspapers and television stations picked up on the story. “The result was amazing,” Jenny Peebles, said. “We got a lot of toys and we are so thankful to everyone who contributed. When the nurses and staff said they were amazed at the all the stuff we brought, I just told them, ‘It’s Pike County, That’s what we do.’”

The shelves were pretty bare in the toy room at Children’s Hospital until the Peebles family showed up with two car loads of toys last week. The staff at Children’s said the Peebles’ donation was the largest from a single family they could ever remember.

Concealed carry presents business opportunity By BETH ZUMWALT Pike Press The passage of concealed carry legislation earlier this year was a happy occasion for many in Pike County, but the Kroeschel family saw it as an opportunity. John and Sheila Kroeschel and their son, Wyatt, are all avid gun owners and decided to share their knowledge and expertise with the public. “I’ve been hunting since I was sixyears-old,” John Kroeschel said. “It’s just something I love to do.” The Kroeschels have started Black Cap Armory LLC. In addition to teaching concealed carry classes, they will sell, make and repair guns. “We just got our federal firearms licenses. Our specialty will be pistols and ARs,” he said. “I am certified to teach concealed carry in Illinois and just got hers. We think she is the first woman in Pike County to become
certified.” By having guns on hand those taking his concealed carry classes can try out different types of handguns. “If somebody is really new to shooting and they don’t want to spend $400 for a gun they may not like, they can come out here and shoot with several of ours and decide which type to buy,” he said. As far as the gunsmithing, Kroeschel says he and Wyatt will be able to build guns from scratch or outfit existing weaponry. “We have several dealers and suppliers we work with,” Kroeschel said. “We can put in trigger systems, different stocks what ever they need.” Kroeschel says he will most likely teach the classroom portion of his concealed carry classes in Barry and then bring the students to his home for the shooting portion of the class. He has built a shooting range near his home.

John has become a certified shooting instructor for teaching the concealed carry class and his wife, Sheila, has applied for hers. If she receives it she may be the first woman instructor in Pike County. Wyatt Kroeschel will apply for his once he is old enough.
“It has a dirt berm and we will have barrels filled with sand,” he said. ‘We will take every safety precaution we can not to have stray gunfire.”
The name Black Cap Armory is named after the Kroeschels’ love of capuchin monkeys. They have two in their home, Jack and Enzo.

This Week's
Poll Question Week of Wednesday, November 13, 2013 Fifty years ago this Friday, Nov. 22, President John F. Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas. A) I remember exactly where I was when I heard the news. B) I watched coverage of the event and funeral on televison. C) I believe Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone. D) I believe there was a conspiracy to kill the president.
Q:
Our View ISSUES AND ANSWERS
This page is for opinions
Share your answer at pikepress.com
Last week's poll results Christmas ads are already appearing.
This week’s Pike Press Opinion page includes a letter from Mr. Larry Howard who raises several issues regarding last week’s editorial.
A) My Christmas shopping is already done.
We will attempt to clarify. 1. Mr. Howard says that last week’s editorial is biased. He is correct that an editorial, by definition, expresses a point of view, the opinion of the newspaper. In fact, everything on this page is an opinion including columns, which represent the opinion of the columnist, and letters, which are the opinion of the letter writer. The page is a forum for community discussion. We welcome your letters on this or any other subject of local interest. 2. Our statement describing how the county board moved from one salary offer to a higher one is accurate. In fact, the board engaged in compromise during its sixth negotiating session, offering to raise the dollar amount of the previous three-year deal. The board’s decision to remain at its “last, best and final offer” is entirely acceptable in the rules of negotiations. Sure, the board could have taken a few more turns around the dance floor for show, but what would that have accomplished, if, in fact, the top of their budget had been reached? 3. Pike Press has never, and will never, cast the dedicated and hard-working courthouse employees as “villains.” If money were no object, we would be happy to see deserving employees receive hefty raises. The problem, of course, is that money is a finite resource. The county board appears to be attempting to live within the county’s means. 4. The reference to concern over the rising cost of healthcare and insurance could apply to virtually every resident of Pike County. It is an issue which is proving to be a thorny knot to untangle, even at the highest levels of federal government. 5. Pike Press is not daring anyone to strike. It is a fact that striking is an option available to courthouse employees, but not the county’s other two union groups. 6. Pike Press printed incorrect information about employee salaries because incorrect information was supplied to us in response to a Freedom of Information Act request. When revised information was delivered to us, we reprinted the entire story online and a summary Nov. 13. 6. The writer of the salary story is not “a Jerseyville reporter” but Campbell Publications’ highly-experienced regional editor. 7. The statement about whether courthouse workers wish to stay in their jobs and if anyone else would be interested in applying for those jobs was in reference to a letter to the editor in the Nov. 13 edition by county board member Dan Mefford. 8. “Ultimately, the taxpayers of Pike County must decide what they feel is a fair wage, one that will attract and retain competent workers to efficiently handle the business of Pike County.” Mr. Howard extrapolates that the way in which taxpayers would make their wishes known is at upcoming elections for county board positions. Here, Pike Press and Mr. Howard are in complete agreement. The problem is that county board elections will not again be held until November 2014. It would be nice to get the courthouse labor contract settled before then.

Thanksgiving - more than another holiday The winter of 1620-21 at the Plymouth Colony was cold and tragic for the Pilgrims; nearly half of their number died through sickness and accidents. One wonders how they could rise above such losses and by fall be so grateful that they celebrated God’s goodness to them by giving thanks. While the spring and summer of 1621 were pleasant and a welcome contrast to what they had just come through, the wounds of that first winter must have been hard to overcome. The good harvest and the help of Squanto, Chief Masasoit and their tribe in providing food, as well as teaching them how to survive in this harsh new place so far from home, were causes to be thankful, but the reasons for their amazing attitude of gratitude must have run deeper than those blessings. Can an abundant harvest and enough to eat make up for the vacant chairs of loved ones at mealtime? Can making new friends take away the pain of losing
old ones? Can moving into a new house compensate for the absence of family members? Obviously not. Why not then enter the second winter bitter over the pain of the past rather than being filled with praise for present provisions? There is only one answer: these people had developed the ability to be thankful no matter what was going on around them. Their thankfulness was rooted in their acceptance of Biblical teachings that called on them to be thankful all the time. We can learn from them. It takes too little to get us down and too much to get us up! We are too quick to pout and too slow to praise! Compare our tendency to complain over trifles to the vow of the Old Testament prophet, Habakkuk, to be thankful in tough times: “Although the fig tree
shall not blossom, neither shall fruit be in the vines; the labor of the olive shall fail, and the fields shall yield no food; the flock shall be cut off from the fold, and there shall be no herd in the stalls; Yet will I rejoice in the Lord, I will joy in the God of my salvation.” Contrast this vow to being upset over the Dow. What would Habakkuk’s vow do for us now? It would change the focus of our lives, our homes and the nation. We would be more interested in giving than getting, more eager to worship than to be entertained, more likely to help than to hurt, more positive about the future. A.W. Tozer, the author of many Christian classics, wrote: “Now as a cure for the sour, faultfinding attitude I recommend the cultivation of the habit of thankfulness. Thanksgiving has great curative power. The heart that is constantly overflowing with gratitude will be safe from those at-
tacks of resentfulness and gloom that bother so many religious persons. A thankful heart cannot be cynical.” One of the great calls to be thankful is found in the Bible in Psalms 103:1-5. Focusing on reasons to be thankful can brighten every day and cause us to rejoice in God’s gracious goodness to us all. Thanksgiving should be more than a holiday… It ought to be our way of life. –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– n Roger Campbell is an author, a broadcaster and columnist who was a pastor for 22 years.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Comments on county’s labor negotiations After reading the “Our View” editorial of the Pike Press editor in the Nov. 13 edition, I feel that a response is in order for this obviously biased piece. The second paragraph of the article states that, “The county board has negotiated upwards to a three-year package of raises which it describes as fair for employees and affordable for the taxpayers of Pike County.” I find this statement troubling. Webster’s defines negotiate as, “to arrange for or bring about through conference, discussion, and compromise.” A last, best and final offer issued by the county board in its second meeting with the union, over one year ago, hardly fits this definition. And what the board deems “fair and affordable” is laughable. Some of these ladies have dedicated 20 to 30 years, their whole working career, to Pike County. They are residents of Pike County. They are our friends, relatives and neighbors. We belong to the same churches and clubs. We grew up together and were classmates. To make these women out as villains is simply wrong! Some of these women, single mothers, live below the poverty level on the wages they earn. Their annual health insurance premium increases have more than eaten up their annual raise for the last five years so they actually take home less than they did in 2008. It also sounds to me as if the editor is almost daring the employees to strike. I think the residents of Pike county should feel fortunate they haven’t. Would a total shutdown of county government really be beneficial to the residents? Would the county board even care? Incorrect wage information was published in a prior edition of the Pike Press and was not run as a correction, but as a story. What I find interesting is that the initial story was gathered by a Jerseyville reporter of Campbell Publications and not a local one. The assertion that, “If the courthouse workers are dissatisfied with their wages and benefits, a revolving door will be seen as they leave and seek better opportunities elsewhere” is a slap in the face to the hardworking and dedicated employees. Just more of the same, “take it or leave it” attitude of the county board. Finally, the editorials ends by stating, “Ultimately, the voters of Pike County will decide what they feel is a fair wage, one that will attract and retain competent workers to efficiently handle the business of Pike County.” This is a fair statement. I would, however, like to remind the board that, “Ultimately, the voters of Pike County will decide at the ballot box whether or not to retain the services of each individual board members.” LARRY HOWARD Barry, Ill.

Addresses need for Senior Citizen transportation services Apparently, the time has come to publicly challenge this statement made by a county board member: “This board is composed of an intelligent, dedicated and independent group who care about the welfare of our county.” “…remain committed to the well-being of the citizens.” “…our first charge is…to secure the fundamental rights of the people first and foremost.” On times past I have left messages on the Tea Party answering service, none of which were replied to. This time I tried a snail mail letter to the aforementioned, quoted writer to which the reply was the same; zilch, zip, zero. So, I see no other choice than to go public with a very imminent danger to many Pike County senior citizens. That being the loss of the Senior Center transportation service which, among others, the county board used to assist financially until they, along with other county powers that be, were snookered by mass transit. The money that used to be allocated to the Senior Center, a not-for-profit entity, is now going to a for-profit that rakes in tax dollars hand over fist. The county powers got snookered and a lot of senior citizens are getting rooked. There are many myths abounding about senior transportation. I will try to dispel the ones I know of. Myth # 1: Mass transit is providing any and all transportation needs for senior citizens. No! They are not! That was part of the sales pitch used to sell this pig in a poke to the county powers. Anyone with working ears and a willingness to hear has heard firsthand accounts of mass transit refusing people transport to out-of-town medical appointments, even those needing cancer treatment not available here. I really wish some, preferably all, who have been refused transport would call county board members and tell your stories. While you’re at it, call the health department and the health partnership whatever and tell them. These people are all so proud of forcing mass transit on Pike County when in reality they should be hiding their faces in shame. Call these people and tell them your story. Also, you can write your story and send them to all the local papers and don’t forget the Jacksonville and Quincy papers. Sideline note: quite a few people read those papers and don’t know the Pike Press or the Express exist. Myth # 2: Just because an entity is non-profit doesn’t mean they don’t have expenses. The drivers are not volunteers, they are paid employees. What that means is not only salary but employer contribution to Social Security, unemployment insurance and workman’s compensation need to be paid in full, on time.

Vehicles don’t operate on IOUs, either. Anyone who has ever had even one in their lifetime knows just how expensive all that is included can be, and does be. That was Myth # 3. Myth # 4: A non-profit is not required to provide a free service to anyone. Hardly anyone begrudges any truly needy person the help they need. Such as being driven three blocks to get a soda and a pack of cigarettes does not constitute a need. Try pulling that on mass transit. For what you do need, plan ahead and make a list. Myth # 5: The fundraisers bring in plenty of money. Again, no, they don’t! By the time all of the expenses are paid, there is very little left to call profit. Myth # 6: The Senior Center transportation is a duplicate service. Wrong again! As in very, very wrong. The Senior Citizen Center provides transportation to those mass transit flat out refuses to do anything for. FYI, the Senior Center also provides transport to medial facilities for those who are still Junior Citizens when they have no other means of getting there and back home. No, the Senior Center is not a duplicate service! It is a very necessary service to many Pike County residents and very worthy of much-needed support, both public and private. Now, do I honestly think anything I’ve expounded will cause any repentance on the part of any public official of any stripe? Well, of course not; don’t be ridiculous! People in public or professional positions never own up to being wrong about anything except maybe the mayor of Toronto, Canada; and that was only by force. Wonder how we could pull off a Toronto here in Pike County? Any ideas, anybody? It has been my experience, mostly when help is needed and other know about the need, especially when the need is legitimate, people will help; people just need to know. While funding is the most immediate need, there are others I will address the week following, if and when this treatise is printed. JANET KELLY Pittsfield, Ill.
Investigation sheds light on Pike Press staff
Is it just me, or have any other readers noticed that the Pike Press continually takes the side of the county board in the ongoing saga with the courthouse employees? I’m not the smartest person in the world but I took it upon myself to do a little investigating into this matter. I started on page A4 on the Nov. 13 edition of the Pike Press.

The Coonridge Digest: Freida Marie Crump
Getting to the meat of the issue Greetings from the Ridge Sometimes my timing is impeccable and amazes even me. I was sitting with my doctor in his industrially furnished examination room when he began writing me a prescription. I noticed the pen he was using and complimented him on the instrument. This was back in the heyday of medical payola when drug representatives could give gifts to doctors and take them for a round of golf. The pen in his hand was inscribed with a drug company’s logo. He looked at the pen, looked at me, and said, “I will give this to you if you promise not to write about this visit in your next column.” Deal! I’m a poor newspaper columnist and am not above a little graft and corruption. In fact, I’ll send you my address with a SASE if you’d like to send me a check. I took the pen gladly then pushed my luck a bit and said, “Say, Doc. That’s a nice car you’ve got parked out there.” I didn’t work. I crawled into my Pontiac and drove home with my new in pen. But it was the sheer finesse of my timing that sealed the deal, and the same thing happened a couple of months ago. I was in the Coonridge post office when somehow the topic of pie came up. They might discuss immigration reform or terrorists threats in your post office, but in Coonridge we talk about pie. I said, “Why in the heck doesn’t anyone make mincemeat pie any more?” There
were five us in the post office including the postmaster and the rural delivery guy, and of the five, only three of us had even heard of mincemeat pie. What was this world coming to? I raved on and on about the joys of a good piece of mincemeat pie, how Grandma used to make it, how I could never tell it from raisin by the sight of it, and how delicious I always found the stuff to be. That’s when I got caught up short. The rural mail guy said, “So what is it made of? Meat or mince?” Heck, I didn’t know. When I was growing up I majored in eating it, not making it. I went home and did some research. Mincemeat developed 500 years ago in England as a way of preserving meat and was invented when the Crusaders to the Holy Land brought back the first spices. The church of the day made you add three spices to signify the gifts of the Magi and it had to be made in a cradle shape. Nice, but I don’t think Grandma followed that recipe. I read on to find that when Oliver Cromwell proclaimed himself the head of England he made eating mincemeat pies illegal since it signified this pagan thing called Christmas, and when our Puritan forefathers traveled across the Atlantic to found New England and Saran Wrap, they actually fined people for making and eating the things. In fact, if the local sheriff even smelled a mincemeat pie you were arrested. All this was mildly interesting and I guess my gastronomical IQ may have crept up a point or two, but this still didn’t answer the question why no one made mincemeat
“

pies these days so I called Mildred. Mildred is the town repository of all things foodish. While the rest of us grew up reading about Dick and Jane, Mildred was devouring Cooking with Betty Crocker. “There are really two answers to that,” she told me. “Number one, it takes time to make, but more importantly, few people can stand the stuff.” Well, that second warning was ridiculous, because I loved it. Surely a person could whip one up in less time than it took the Crusaders, so I looked it up on the Food Network website. It said, “Total preparation time, 73 hours, 15 minutes.” Forget that. I guess the good news is that the same webpage said that it would keep for six months. According to Mildred, that’s because it takes six months to get one done. If someone was going to make me a mincemeat pie then it would have to be Grandma, but she’s long gone to that great bakery in the sky so I turned to the modern replacement for Granny: Amazon.com. The online retailer of everything in the known world will sell you Whiskey Mincemeat Tarts, Walkers Mincemeat Shortbreads, Bor-
den’s None Such Mincemeat in a Jar, and Condensed Mincemeat, and something called Mr. Kipling’s Mince Pies which ended up being just about a mouthful of pastry. Who in God’s name would condense her mincemeat anyway? I was afraid that the stuff had joined the long line of things that people don’t eat any longer….braunschweiger, bread and butter pudding, tongue, creamed chipped beef on toast, stewed tomatoes, and Spam. Then I got the phone call. It was the lady from the post office many months ago. “Your mincemeat pies are ready. Come and get ’em!” Proof positive that there is a God. Did I ever mention that it’s been a long time since I’ve had a 5-carat diamond? 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 Y : H ears ago
125 Years Ago Nov. 15, 1888 The republicans had an immense ratification and jollification, and noise reigned unbounded and uncontrolled. ‘Twas a great victory and a great surprise. No wonder they were jubilant when Benjamin Harrison was elected president over democrat Grover Cleveland. The vote in Pike county was 3592 for Cleveland and just 2820 for Harrison. The republican Harrison only carried Griggsville #2, Newburg, Hadley and Atlas precincts. The Wednesday night prayer meeting at the Congregational church was postponed. The pastor evidently thought that a republican rally would knock it clear out of sight, and therefore wouldn’t undertake to compete with the rally. A cloud has arisen on the bright horizon of the democracy in the shape of a republican president. We suppose the country will now be flooded with free whiskey. When shall it be that this curse is driven from our land? Judge A. C. Mathews of Pittsfield was elected speaker of the Illinois House of Representatives last week. The rain last week filled cisterns, wells and creeks, and farmers and others will go into winter with a bountiful supply of water. The Independent Press at Griggsville is putting up a steam engine to run the presses. 100 Years Ago Nov. 19, 1913 The good people of Hardin township are badly scared up over a panther that has been seen by several persons in the vicinity of the Honey Creek school. Some of the parents are keeping their children at home for fear

they may be attacked by it. Wm. Mumford and family, who went to the hotel for the winter, have concluded that, after all there is no place like home, and have gone back to it. Thieves, it is reported, have been entering cellars in various parts of Pittsfield and stealing the winter’s supply of canned fruit. The big rains we had last week were a great benefit to the wells in and around Milton as quite a number had gone dry and many were low. Today is the 50th anniversary of the battlefield cemetery, where Lincoln delivered his immortal “Gettysburg Address,” which is being delivered in the schools and at public meetings today all over the country. What is more, Pittsfield people will have an opportunity tonight to witness the famous “Battle of Gettysburg” in moving pictures at the K. P. opera house in five reels. This is a stupendous $75,000 production, said to be the greatest war picture ever made. 75 Years Ago Nov. 16, 1938 The Saukee Indians lost their last football game of the season to Winchester, 7-6. Dick Niebur scored the only points for the Saukees. The season for PHS was 2 wins, two ties and five defeats. Mothers of the team served a feast of fried chicken and baked ham to the team at the annual banquet. Carpenters have been busy the past week reinforcing the floor of the gym of Pearl community high school in preparation for the annual Fats-Leans basket ball game to be held at 7 p.m. next Wednesday. The contests promises fun, aches, groans, pains and bruises, as well as many laughs. Admission is one dime, including laughing tax. Proceeds
LETTERS (CONTINUED FROM A4) house employees, must have been written by the editor of the paper. As I scanned down to the lower lefthand corner of the paper, I discovered that the publisher and editor of the Pike Press is Julie Boren. I thought to myself, man, that name seems familiar. Oh, yea, that last name appeared in the editorial. Michael Boren is a member of the county board. Further intense detective work led me to the next column to the right and I discovered that county board member Michael Boren is also an employee of the paper. Wow! They have their own paper! They control the content; what goes in, how it is worded and what stays out! I think even Barney Fife could figure out this caper! DONALD R. SAPP Rockport, Ill.
Suggests topic for holiday gatherings
Would you purchase a movie ticket to see only the last minute of a film? No. But we face a similar situation in providing hospice care to the terminally ill. While many Americans are taking advantage of hospice, an estimated 1.6 million during 2012, 35.5 percent of those people died or were discharged within seven days of admission to a hospice program. The unique care
offered by hospice is equipped to aid patients and their loved ones through the last months of life. Earlier access to hospice care can reduce emergency room visits and hospitalizations and significantly improve quality of life for patients and family caregivers. But don’t take it from me. Listen to someone who is living it. Please go to our website, blessinghospital.org/ hospice <http://blessinghospital.org/ hospice> , and click on “Bill’s Story.” It’s a short video from Blessing Hospice & Palliative Care patient Bill Hrudicka. Bill came to us and asked if he could share his story. It is powerful testimony about the comfort and peace available through hospice care, particularly when the care is sought at the most appropriate time. In marking November as national Hospice & Palliative Care Month, I also ask that when you are with your loved ones this holiday season please take a moment and discuss each other’s end-of-life healthcare wishes. After 30 years of being privileged to provide care and support to the terminally ill and their loved ones throughout west central Illinois, we at Blessing Hospice & Palliative Care know this vital information is among the greatest gifts loved ones can share.

go to the activity fund of the high school. The Milton Mustangs have prospects for another good basket ball team this year, although not as good as last year, according to coach M.G. Moore. The lost of Bill Hoover and Captain Everett Allen and four other seniors by graduation has left holes that are hard to plug. Encouraging, however, is the return of 195 lb “Tiny” Parks, veteran center, and Capt. George Lemons and Phil Hoover, all regulars from last year’s sectional championship team. State’s Attorney Merrill H. Johnston sought an indictment of the grand jury against Don Irving, Chambersburg farmer, and chairman of the Pike county board of supervisors. The grand jury, possibly aware of the state’s attorney’s astonishing and inexplicable hatred of the supervisor chairman, returned the state’s attorney’s charges as a “not true bill.” Dr. F. L. Flatt, dentist, and Dr. F. N. Wells, physician, recently moved their offices to the room above the M and D Meat Store. 50 Years Ago Nov. 20, 1963 A Springfield business man wants to build a $200,000 eight-lane bowling alley at the west edge of Pittsfield. For the past 17 years Mr. and Mrs. Wayne Ator of rural Pittsfield have raised approximately 1,000 turkeys per year. There is plenty of hard work and risk involved in the turkey business Mayor Frank Penstone told the Pittsfield city council Tuesday night that he, as a licensed private pilot, considers the present airport to be hazardous because of its limited length of 1,600 feet. The PHS musical “Bye Bye Birdie” is
ready for performances Friday and Saturday evening. Principle roles are taken by Victor Hubbard, Joe Miller, Nancy Watson, Linda Taylor, Ronnie Johnson and Miki Irving. Ten mothers from the Rockport community appeared before the Pittsfield dist. 10 school board at its November meeting to request the assignment of an additional teacher. There are now three teachers handling grades one through eight at the Rockport school. Mrs. Scott teaches grades on, two and three with a total of 25 students. Miss McCallister teaches grades four, five and six, with an enrollment of 21, and Mr. Ray teaches grades seven and eight with 20 students. 25 Years Ago Nov. 16, 1988 Once again, the city of Pittsfield is facing a possible gas rate increase from the Panhandle Eastern Pipeline Company. The city now charges residents $5.57 per thousand for their gas. Ellen (Mrs. Raymond) Wade has been Florence village clerk for the past 31 years, and she has been the Florence correspondent for the Pike Press for the past 13 years. The Wades have been married for 48 years. They have three children, six grandchildren and a great-grandson. The latest school reform effort is titled “the Learning Assessment and School Improvement program” by the Illinois State Board of Education. In the opinion of Delbert Scranton, assistant superintendent in Pikeland Unit 10, the major outcome of the program is that it generates stacks of paper, primarily to satisfy the state. The Pittsfield Theatre Guild is presenting “The Odd Couple” at Upstairs East this coming Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Ed Dod-
Outdoor Truths: Gary Miller
When the wind says move While November usually can’t compare to the colder days of January and February, it can still get really cold. But if one is to have the best opportunity at a big buck, he has to get out in it. He just better be prepared. What I have noticed over the years, however, is that I seem to manage the cold pretty well, but what I am never ready for is the wind that may accompany those cold temperatures. I had rather hunt in 20 degree weather with no wind than 30 degree weather with the wind. And no matter what the weather lady says the wind chill is, it is always colder than her predictions. When I hunt in the Midwest, it is especially bad. I’ve also noticed there is really no wind that is ever comfortable. I have sat for days with a cold wind blowing directly in my face. My chapped lips and wind-burned face are proof of those days. And I hate it when it blows from behind because it seems that I can never keep my neck warm. During the cold days, the wind determines my ability to stay in the stand more than anything else. It is the greatest motivation to move. If it continues to blow, one gets so uncomfortable that moving is the only option. It is no coincidence that Jesus compared the Holy Spirit to a wind. And when the Spirit first came on the scene, Luke, a gospel writer, said it
sounded like a violent wind. Again, this is no coincidence. While the Holy Spirit lives within all believers, there are times when His activity is especially felt. You may not see it or even know at first what it is, but before too long you will recognize an uneasiness or an uncomfortableness. And with a gentle inaudible voice, He will let you know it is Him and He wants your attention. He has a word about something in your life. It may be a word concerning a move He wants you to make or something that He wants out of your life. You can try to resist, and sometimes you can, but the price to stay and ignore this nudging will be one that you will never recoup. So are you feeling that nudge right now? Is the Wind making it uncomfortable to sit where you are? Have you been uneasy and wondered why? Don’t take it lightly. If it is important enough to God to get your attention, then He must have something very important He wants to do in your life. And remember, He always wants what is good and best. ■ Gary Miller is an outdoorsman from Harrowgate, Tenn. gary@outdoortruths.org

“Yes, it is from a deer wreck, and we just went to Quincy to get a rental car because the van is getting fixed Monday.” He still wanted my credentials. After giving me a warning he said, “If you get stopped again, just show them this paper.” I thought that was strange. I didn’t get ten miles down the road and there was a white car off the road on the left side. Yes, another state trooper, that was 3 in a fifteen miles stretch of road. When he came to my window, I showed him my waring ticket and he laughed. He was inquiring about the light, and I told the story of the deer wreck and rental car etc. He asked, ”Are you on your way home?” I said, “Yes.” He said, “Don’t be surprised if you get stopped again.” I then asked him.”How many more are between here and Calhoun?’ He told me, “A couple.” But we did not get stopped anymore.

Denman Linen Services receives industry accreditation Denman Linen Service has received accreditation— the industry’s highest rating on quality and safety—from the Healthcare Laundry Accreditation Council (HLAC). HLAC is a non-profit organization that inspects and accredits laundries processing healthcare textiles for hospitals, nursing homes, and other healthcare facilities. HLAC’s mission is to publish high standards for processing healthcare textiles in laundries, and to provide an accreditation process that recognizes those laundries that meet these high standards. The decision to become accredited is completely voluntary. “It is important that the customers that we serve— predominately hospitals—work with agencies, vendors and people who have earned accreditation,” Gregg Teel, Director says. “Achieving accreditation was the right thing for us to do since we are in the business of processing and providing healthcare textiles.” The primary benefit of accreditation is that an
independent third party has inspected your facility and found that it meets or exceeds the highest standards for processing healthcare textiles. A laundry cannot inspect and accredit itself, and its customers generally do not have the time or expertise to do so. The HLAC accreditation process was developed with several industry groups, including: American Society for Healthcare Environmental Services (ASHES) American Reusable Textiles Association (ARTA) Association for Linen Management (ALM) Association for Professionals in Infection Control and Epidemiology (APIC) International Association for Healthcare Textile Management (IAHTM) Textile Rental Services Association of America (TRSA)

Gubernatorial candidate in Pittsfield Illinois State Treasurer, Dan Rutherford, candidate for the Republican nomination for governor, was in Pittsfield Thursday for a fundraiser. He spoke to supporters at the Red Apple Room in a noon luncheon that was also attended by State Representative C. D. Davidsmeyer of Jacksonville. Rutherford is one of four GOP candidates for governor. He said that polling data shows him ahead of the other candidates among Republican primary voters. He told the crowd that he received more votes in Chicago when he ran for treasurer in 2010 than Pat Quinn received in his race for governor the same year. He stated that several changes will have to be agreed upon by the governor and the legislature in order to move toward solving the crisis in pension funding and other economic issues that the state faces. “Illinois is a great state,” Rutherford said, “When elected Governor I will be the chief marketing officer for the state. We must focus on bringing down our unemployment numbers.”

Carrollton man seeking state office By ROBERT LYONS Pike Press A Jerseyville man has announced he will run for the State House of Representatives in the 100th District. Josh Evans, a native of Carrollton, said he's running on the Democratic ticket, but is not bound by any party's values. "This is a time we need someone who's a street fighter who's willing to go after interests," Evans said. "I don't think that transcends into one party or another, I think it's just the individual person." The state's 100th District is comprised of Jersey, Calhoun, Pike, Greene, Morgan counties, as well as parts of Macoupin and Sangamon counties. Republican C.D. Davidsmeyer of Jacksonville currently represents the 100th District. Evans said, as of now, no one is challenging him in the March Primary, and he anticipates being the Democratic candidate come
2014 IMPALA LS
next November. He already has stances on several hot topics in the state, including the budget, pension reform and concealed carry, which he favors. "I consider myself a conservative and I don't run from that because I'm in the Democratic party," Evans said. "If you're looking for my priorities, the district comes first and party comes second, every time." The district, he said, is need of a representative who can recognize and stand up for the issues facing its residents. That is the No. 1 reason Evans decided to announce his candidacy, he said. "When Jim Watson resigned, I realized we lost a fierce advocate, I mean someone who really cared about the district, really understood the district and someone who could advocate for us," he said. Evans enlisted in the Air Force at age 17, and served tours of duty in Iraq and Afghanistan. He said he has been witness to extreme

wasteful government spending and hopes to work with lawmakers to develop solutions to the problem. Evans plans to deliver his first three speeches as a candidate on Friday, beginning at 9 a.m. at the Jacksonville courthouse. At 11 a.m. he will speak at the Scott County courthouse in Winchester, followed a speech at Pittsfield's Pike County courthouse at 12:45 p.m. Then at 6:30 p.m., he is hosting a kickoff party at Goetten's Oasis in Carrollton. He has worked on campaigns with other Greene County natives, including Matt Goetten's bid for Congress and Craig Grummel's run for Greene County state's attorney. Evans is married to Jersey County native and former fair queen Ashely Rowling. Evans graduated from Carrollton High School in 2005. He has a bachelor's degree from Southern Illinois University Carbondale and is finishing his law degree at Saint Louis University. He currently works for Wittman and Lorton, P.C.

heart beat again. Dr. John Hammock recently completed a year-long fellowship in cardiac electrophysiology (EP) at the University of Oklahoma Medical Center in Oklahoma City.
EP is the diagnosis and treatment of heart arrhythmias, or abnormal heart rhythms, caused by problems with the heart’s electrical system. Just like your home, your heart is controlled by a smooth, constant flow of electricity through it. A short-circuit anywhere along this electrical pathway can disrupt the flow of signals, causing an arrhythmia or irregular heartbeat. As many as four million Americans suffer from arrhythmia.

Deer numbers small but opportunities still large By BETH ZUMWALT Pike Press Deer numbers are down statewide and in Pike County, but Tim Krumweide of the Illinois Department of Natural Resources says numbers of the harvest, especially early harvest, are not indictive of the number of deer. “There is a lot of standing corn for the deer to take cover,” Krumweide said. “We have sold
fewer non-resident archery permits this year than at this time last year.” Krumweide said Pike County is not the destination hunt it once was. “Hunters are going different places,” he said. “Iowa has seen a increase. Hunters are still coming to the Midwest, not just Illinois and Pike County like they were 10 years ago.” Krumweide estimates that half of the deer killed in Pike County since it became the deer capital
were killed by non-resident deer hunters. “And there are fewer of them as indicated by the sale of permits,” he said. Also, Krumweide suspects there are slightly fewer deer in Pike County than there once were. “I used to say Pike County had more deer than people, but I’m not sure I can say that any more,” he said. Krumweide said with higher
prices for beans and corn, some farmers have taken fields formerly in the CRP program and put that grount back into production, meaning less habitat for the deer, especially the fawns. “We are seeing less fawn survival rates,” Krumweide said. “And while the EHD or Epizootic Hemorrhagic Disease has been reported, it is not as severe as last year.” Krumweide said there have been 35 reported cases in Pike County this
year but from his own observations and word of mouth, he is confident that number is much higher. EHD is a viral disease, spread by biting gnats, which can cause high fever and severe internal bleeding in deer. While often fatal to deeer it is not hazardous to humans or pets. Some area cattle have been reported to have similar symptoms but, according to Dr. Marvin Wilke of the Griggsville Veterinary Clinic, cattle will usually show symptoms
for a day or so and then recover. “They usually get over it on their own,” he said. “If not they will respond to antibiotics.” Krumweide said the area is in no danger of the deer becoming extinct in Pike County but the numbers have shrunk to a more manageable level. “I know there are some landowners out there who are happy that there are fewer deer eating their crops,” he said.
Hunters Head to the field this week for Illinois Firearm Deer Season hunters urged to practice safety while afield SPRINGFIELD, IL – The Illinois Department of Natural Resources (IDNR) is reminding hunters to make safety a priority as they head to the field for the start of the Illinois Firearm Deer Season this week. The seven-day firearm deer season opens Friday, Nov. 22 through Sunday, Nov. 24, and will conclude on Thursday, Dec. 5 through Sunday, Dec. 8. “The Firearm Deer Season is a great part
of our hunting heritage in Illinois,” said IDNR Director Marc Miller. “Thanks to so many safety-minded hunters, hunting is one of our safest forms of outdoor recreation, and we want to remind hunters to make safety their first priority for deer season, and whenever they’re hunting.” The legal hunting hours for the Illinois Firearm Deer Season are one-half hour before sunrise to one-
half hour after sunset. Hunters successful in taking a deer during the firearm season in most counties must register the deer they harvest online through the IDNR website at http://www.dnr.illinois.gov/ hunting/Pages/HarvestReporting.aspx or by phoning 1-866-IL-CHECK (1-866-452-4325). Hunters using the online or phone-in system must register their harvest by 10 p.m. on the day they take the deer.

Resolutions for your home
Many people feel a new calendar year symbolizes a fresh start. Perhaps nothing illustrates that better than the popularity of New Year's resolutions, which people make in an effort to improve their quality of life both in the year ahead and the years that follow. Popular plans include resolving to lose weight or quit smoking. But homeowners can make resolutions for their homes as well. The following are some resolutions to ensure your home has as good a year as you do over the next 12 months. n Clear away clutter. Spring is the season most people associate with clearing a home of clutter, but the immediate aftermath of the holiday season marks a great time to begin tidying up. During the holiday season, homeowners often arrive home to a mailbox filled with holiday catalogs. In addition, extra rolls of wrapping paper, packaging tape and holiday cards can transform a normally neat and airy home into a cluttered space with little room to breathe. Instead of waiting for spring to clear out clutter, resolve to spend some time each month getting rid of any unnecessary items. Not only will less clutter make a home less stuffy (particularly during winter when the windows are closed), it will also make spring cleaning that much easier. n Reduce the energy bill. Few people are in a position to scoff at ways to save money, and reducing energy costs is a great way to do just that. This year, resolve to turn the lights off when you leave a room, lower the temperature on the thermostat during daytime hours when no one is home and consider alternative methods of saving energy as well. Most homeowners might be

surprised to learn their set-top cable or satellite boxes, when coupled with a digital video recorder, are quite possibly gobbling up more energy than their refrigerator. Such was the findings in a 2011 study conducted by the Natural Resources Defense Council, which found that a high-definition cable or satellite set-top box, when combined with a DVR, used more kilowatt hours per year than a new Energy Star rated 21 cubic-foot refrigerator. While few homeowners are likely willing to give up their cable service or DVR, you can ask your service provider for Energy Star 4.0-rated devices to help reduce energy consumption. n Grow a green thumb. A lawn is the first thing passersby notice about a home. No matter how beautiful the home itself is, if the lawn is not wellmaintained that is what most people are going to remember. This year, resolve to grow a green thumb. Though spring and summer are considered the seasons for lawn care, winter is not necessarily a bad time to get started. Clear away any fallen branches and rake away the last of the leaves, which can be used
to create a compost pile that can benefit the lawn throughout the year. Depending on the type of grass you have, late winter and early spring can be a great time to fertilize. n Make your home safer. Improving safety around the house should not have to be a New Year's resolution, but for busy homeowners it's easy to overlook safety around the house. This year, resolve to make your home safer and keep it safe and secure. Have the home tested for radon if you haven't already, and inspect all smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, replacing any ones that are no longer operating at full capacity. If there are any safety hazards around the house, such as a loose step or handrail on the staircase or a leaky gutter that makes it easy for ice patches to form after winter rain or snowstorms, then address these issues before they cause serious injury. New Year's resolutions don't just apply to humans. Make the most of this year's fresh start by making your home a happier, healthier and safer place to live this year and in the years to come.

Duck season is underway By BETH ZUMWALT Pike Press
Number released in the first quarter waterfowl report differs somewhat than what hunters are saying. “The season has started out slow,” Brian Hill, a long-time area duck hunter, said. “The weather has had a lot to do with it.” Hill said he hasn’t been hunting much because he has been harvesting grain but the few times he has gone he had gotten a few. “A bunch of us went down to one of our blinds and we got 400,” he said. “We need to get some bad weather up north and make them move down the river.” According to the report, Batchtown has harvested 2,149 ducks up 11percent over the long term average. They have harvested 23.1percent mallards, 7.6percent gadwall, 5.0percent pintail, 19.4percent green wing teal, 14.3percent ringneck, 11.2percent bluebills and the rest were under 5percent. The bird per man average is 1.85. Calhoun Point has harvested 1,041 ducks which is 47.7 percent over their long term average.
They have harvested 38percent mallards, 11percent gadwall, 9percent green wing teal, and 24percent wood ducks, the rest were under 5percent. The bird per man average is 1.40.

They have harvested 29 percent mallards, 19 percent gadwall, 16 percent Green wing teal, 5percent shoveler and 17 percent wood duck, the rest were under 5 percent. The bird per man average is 1.81.

Fire damages hog building near Baylis Police Beat A Saturday morning fire damaged Pikeland Pork, a hog facility owned by Maschhoffs, near Baylis. The fire was noticed by a worker about 8 a.m. “They were working in another part of the barn and when they came back to the front, the office and maintenance room were on fire,” Julie Maschhoff, spokesman for the company, said. “They did of excellent job of controlling things until the fire departments could arrive." Baylis was the first fire department to be called, followed by Barry, Pittsfield, Griggsville and North Pike. Jason White, chief of the Pittsfield Fire Department, said Fire Chief Tom Lewis was not available at the fire, but White said the PFD was dispatched about 8:50 a.m. “Baylis and Barry were already there establishing water supply and attack lines when we arrived,” White said. “The office area was on fire with significant damage upon arrival, the fire had advanced into two operational areas one on the south and one on the north. Griggsville Fire, and North Pike Fire worked on the stopping further fire advancement into the North Structure and Pittsfield, Barry, and Baylis Fire worked on stopping further fire advancement into the South Structure and containing the office structure from spreading. ” White said the size of the structures and the strong winds out of the south made containment difficult at first. “The fire was controlled within the 30-40 minute mark and completely out at the 90 minute mark,” he said. “The teamwork displayed by all the Pike

An early morning fire at Pikeland Pork, a sow facility owned by Maschhoffs near Baylis caught fire Saturday morning prompting the response of Baylis, Barry, Griggsville North Pike and Pittsfield Fire Departments. In accordance with bio-hazard rules for hog confinements, no one other than authorized personnel was allowed near the fire scene.
Fire Departments can be commended as to why this operation was such a success. Damages and loss were contained to the office area and a small portion of the north operational area.” Lewis said he arrived at the fire later, after it was under control but his department members said when they arrived, the fire was coming out of both sides of the building. “There were no injuries and that is the important thing,” Lewis said. “There was building about 40 X 60 or maybe 80 that suffered severe damage." Maschhoff said a few rafters in the actual hog building had damage and approximately six hogs had to be euthanized due to injuries from the fire.
Maschoff said the company was doing repairs as early as Sunday and a full crew was on duty Monday morning. With the computer systems knocked out, staff at the barn was feeding hogs by hand rather than with the computer feeders normally used. Maschhoff said the company had been very lucky over the weekend as the fire in Pike County was contained and storms that ripped through the state did not damage any of the company’s other facilities. “We have a research farm in New Mindon,” she said. “That area was hard hit. There was a farm on one side of us that was destroyed and a church on the other rhat sustained heavy damage but our facility is fine.”

Then they told her since the problem was in her house, she was responsible for the costs – $5,600 for the 20-minute job. She wrote them a check which was cashed within the hour at her bank. The two men were identified as being in the Rushville area doing the same scam as well as Hancock County. The two men were at large until later in July when Pruitt, who was on probation/parole for a similar crime in Oklahoma, asked to have his case transferred to Texas. Part of the procedure when changing jurisdictions, is to run a check and when Oklahoma officials did, they found the Pike County warrant. Pruitt was extradited back to Pike County.

Barry scammer pays back money By BETH ZUMWALT Pike Press A Barry woman has received a refund of her money that was taken from her illegally last summer. James Pruitt, 58, Texas, plead guilty last week in Pike County Circuit Court and agreed to pay back the $5,600 from which he defrauded the 93-year-old woman. His accomplice, Steven Cranford, remains at large and a warrant for his arrest is outstanding. The two men are alleged to have gone to the elderly woman’s home July 8 and identified themselves as workers from Illinois Rural Electric. After allowing them into her home, one of the men stayed with her, while the other “inspected” her attic. Upon his return, he told her squirrels had gotten into the attic and had

Steven Cranford is urged to call the Pike County Sheriff’s Department or CrimeStoppers. “I am truly overjoyed that this wonderful lady will receive all of her money back and especially in one lump sum so that she and our court system do not have to continuously monitor whether payments are being made,” Carrie Boyd, Pike County State’s Attorney, said. “Thank you to our Sheriff and Deputy Matt Frazier for their investigation and hard work in this case. This is a situation that is, unfortunately, something we have to be mindful of and discuss with our family members, especially the elderly, in the hope that it won’t happen to anyone else. In these economic times, it is important to know that scam artists are aggressively looking for their next target. Please call law enforcement with any suspicions or concerns.”
