By BETH ZUMWALT Pike Press Good things come to those who wait and Carroll Hoover, a Korean War veteran from Pittsfield, waited more than year to take his honor flight but says the wait was worth it.

“It is just a miracle they way they put that all together,” Hoover said. “It just is so organized and they take such good care of you.”

Hoover and his daughter, Ruth Ann Hinton, of Georgia, took the Oct. 17 Honor Flight,

leaving out of Hannibal about 2:30 a.m. and following the routine procedure of traveling to the St. Louis Airport, boarding a Southwest flight and heading to Baltimore.

“When we arrived in Baltimore they took us by bus into Washington,” Hoover said.

“Once on the bus we watched a video about the Korean War Memorial. They said they wanted us to be informed so we could enjoy it more.”

Hoover said he was touched by his visit to the Korean Memorial.

By ROBERT LYONS Pike Press With new legal counsel in place, the Pike County Board’s labor committee is hopeful a contract for its courthouse employees will soon be in place.

The county has been negotiating since November 2012 with International Union of Operating Engineers Local 965 for a new three-year deal. The union is demanding a $1,000 raise for all employees each year of the contract, according to Labor Committee Chairman Justin Noble. Noble said the board is offering $600 the first year, $650 the second and $750 in the third.

Employees in the probation, county clerk, circuit clerk, state’s attorney, treasurer and supervisor of assessments office work 32.5 to 33 hours per week. At 32.5 hours per week, the county’s offer amounts to a $.35 per hour increase the first year and moving up to $.44 in the final year of the contract.

Noble said the two sides were quickly in agreement on raising the starting salary for new employees from $18,500 to $22,000.

“The chief deputies, they get an extra $300 a year and we offered to bump them up to $500,” Noble said. “So, the county board is giving and giving and we haven’t asked for

one thing in return.”

The following information on employee earnings was provided by the county in response to a Freedom of Information Act request.

In the probation department,

>>Pay for Pike County courthouse clerical employees ranges from a starting salary of $18,500 to the highest current hourly rate of $21.10.

the current bi-weekly pay ranges from $1,210.80 up to $1,666.67 for the longest tenured member of the department.

County Clerk Donnie Apps earns the most in his department, with a base pay of $1,929.08 every two weeks. The two lowest paid employees earn $1,018.68 every two weeks, or $15.43 per hour at 33 hours per week. The aver-

age salary in the department, not including Apps’, is $1,136.28 every two weeks ($17.22 per hour in a 33-hour work week).

Circuit Clerk Debbie Dugan earns the most in her department, with an identical salary of Apps, $1,929.08 bi-weekly. Of the six active employees in the circuit clerk’s office, the average bi-weekly paycheck is $1098.26 ($16.64 per hour over 33 hours). The highest hourly rate in this department is $20.42.

In the state’s attorney’s office, other than office holder Carrie Boyd, regular office staff average $1236.84 every two weeks, or $18.74 per hour in a 33-hour work week. Boyd’s bi-weekly salary is $5,373.29.

The treasurer’s office has three employees, other than Treasurer Jeffrey Gerard, who average $20.31 per hour over 33 hours, or $1,340.47 on their paychecks. The highest hourly rate in this department is $21.10. Gerard has a biweekly pay of $1,929.08.

The pay sheet provided by the county lists two employees as assisting Cindy Shaw, whose bi-weekly earnings are $1,929.08.

One earns a bi-weekly check of $1,031.18 ($15.62 per hour) and the other averages $12.50 per hour over 33 hours.

Carroll Hoover, left, took in the Korean War Memorial during his honor flight trip Oct. 17.

“It was outstanding,” he said. “There are 18 soldiers walking through field, that is made to resemble a rice patty.

It is very moving.”

Hoover said he was happy that the government shut down was over by the time he and his group arrived. The shut down had blocked access to many of the monuments on the Honor Flight’s schedule “I think it just ended the day before,” he said.

Hoover said although the WWII monument and the Korean monument were his favorite stops, he was impressed by many other monuments and sites.

“Arlington National Cemetery is just outstanding and the changing of the guard, I just can’t imagine how they do that so perfect every time.

They are dressed to perfection and perform their duties the same way.”

While Hoover called the coordination of the Honor Flight a miracle, it is not the first miracle Hoover feels blessed with during his experience with the military.

“I was drafted on my birthday, Nov. 29, 1950,” Hoover said. “I did basic at Ft. Leonard Wood and then shipped out to Korea.”

Hoover said he was an infantry man and on the day of is induction he had taken a series of tests, including a

typing test.

“I guess I did pretty well on it, I always like typing in high school,” he said.

Hoover and the rest of the infantrymen, about 1,200 of them, landed in Korea and were told they were to receive five days of combat training and then would be sent to the front line to relieve soldiers in action.

“On the third day, they called us into formation and told us the Koreans had had a break-through and we would be going to the front that day,” Hoover said. “We were still in formation when they called my name and the names of about five other soldiers. They told us to go over the Jeep and talk to the sergeant.”

Hoover said when he got to the Jeep, the sergeant told him he would be staying behind and working in the office, in the record division, interviewing officers who were reporting for duty.

“God was looking out for me that day. I guess it is because I did so well on the typing test,” he said. “It was a miracle I didn’t have to go to the front line.”

Hoover said he remained in Korea in the office for 11 months and 4 days before he was sent back to the states and assigned to Ft. Holabird, near Baltimore Md., where he served out the remainder of

Hoover said he decided to go on the Honor Flight after hearing of so many others who went and said they thoroughly enjoyed it.

“And I did enjoy it,” he said. “Every part of it was enjoyable. On the bus, we had mail call and I got letters from my three grandchildren and

my son-in-law and a group of fourth graders from one of the Hannibal schools.”

Hoover said the welcome home party at Hannibal LaGrange was wonderful.

“They called our names one at a time and we walked into the gym and everybody cheered,” he said. “It was a great experience.”

Peck amazingly lucky; wins two trips to World Series games

By BETH ZUMWALT Pike Press By now most people know Tony Peck won two tickets to the World Series last week in St. Louis. The diehard Cardinal fan won the tickets after sending in a picture of his chest that has been tattoed with a picture of Busch Stadium and the view around the stadium along with the words, “Baseball Heaven.”

What they don’t know is he won another set of tickets for the next night.

Peck said he heard Jimmy Kimmel, host of the famous late-night television show “Jimmy Kimmel Live,” was hosting a contest for the most diehard fans from the four teams left in both the NLCS and ALCS series.

“I was contacted by a producer from his show within 24 hours of my application and interview by webcast was set up,” Peck said. Then when the Cardinals clinched their spot, the producer called Peck back and told him he had won.

Both Peck and a fan from Boston appeared on screen at

the same time. Peck showed Kimmel his tattoo and competed against the Boston fan in a scavenger hunt.

The competition was declared a tie and both con-

''My friends keep telling me I should buy a lottery ticket with the roll I’m on."

Tony Peck Quincy testants won two tickets to the one World Series game.

Peck, who lives in Quincy, chose to take Chad Puterbaugh as his guest and the two went to the first game at Busch, Oct. 26.

Peck is not surprised his tattoo earned him accord, saying even though he got it in 2006, to celebrate the opening of the new Busch Stadium, he still is very proud of it.

What did surprise Peck and what a lot of people don’t know is that while he and Puterbaugh were in St. Louis,

Peck learned that Major League Baseball was having a contest.

“They wanted people who were taking pictures at the game to use Instragram and post them,” Peck said. “They wanted you to use the hashtag “MyWorldSeries.”

Peck said he took lots of pictures and posted them all with the appropriate hashtag.

“After the game Saturday night, we stayed all night and Chad brought me home Sunday,” Peck said. “He had just left to go back to Pleasant Hill when my phone dings and I had a message from Major League Baseball. They said I had won tickets to Game 4.

I called my manager at work and asked him if he could get off work and that I had tickets to Game 4 but we would have to leave right then. He was at my house in 10 minutes so we went to Game 4.”

Peck admits he is extremely lucky to have won two trips to see his beloved Cardinals in World Series action.

“My friends keep telling me I should buy a lottery ticket with the roll I’m on,” he said.

Irrigation systems becoming more popular in Pike County

By BETH ZUMWALT Pike Press Rodney Bushmeyer, a farmer in the Hull area, barely has this year’s crop harvested and he is already thinking of next year.

Bushmeyer, like many other grain producers, is installing irrigation systems. He had six in operation for this year and plans to add more for the 2014 season. He estimates about a third of his farmland is irrigated and would like to do more as funds allow.

“We put in some last year and we were going to put in several more this year,” Bushmeyer said. “But last year corn was $7-plus a bushel and this year it is $4. It takes a lot more bushels to pay for it when it is $4.”

Bushmeyer said he still plans to add the systems but will concentrate on his acres with sandier soils.

“The acres with better soils will have to wait,” he said.

Bushmeyer said the difference in corn that has been under an artificial watering system and one that has not is very noticeable.

“We had some corn on the corners of the field that the irrigation system didn’t reach,

Bushmeyer said. “It went down pretty early. The corn in the middle had a stronger, healthier stalk and was less stressed than the plants that had not been under irrigation.”

“It makes sense to do it,” he said.

“Water is one of the natural resources that is plentiful and we are really just recycling it. It goes right back in the water table.”

Bushmeyer said he checked the level in the well that supplied his system in the spring before the irrigation system was used and again in the fall after the season was over.

“There was no difference,” he said.

“Our wells are 80-feet deep with the pump set at 60 feet. We have water at 15 feet.”

The influx of irrigation systems, mainly in the Mississippi River bottoms, initially had some city officials concerned the water table could not support the systems and the municipalities also using it. Pittsfield, Barry, Kinderhook, New Canton, Pleasant Hill and the Pike County Water District all use water from the Mississippi bottoms.

The city of Pittsfield hosted a meeting earlier this spring for anyone with concerns about the water levels.

“We were concerned about what Another concern addressed at the all the systems will do to the aqui- city’s meeting was backwash as liquid fer, backwash and a number of other nitrogen is often added to the water concerns,” John Hayden, mayor of being used in the irrigation systems Pittsfield, said. “We had some people According to state statute, a well from the Illinois serving State Water Survey an irrigacome in and talk to ''Water is one of the tion system us and invited sever- natural resources that must be at al people to attend.” least oneHayden said all is plentiful and we are and- -oneof the concerns the really just recycling it. half mile city of Pittsfield had, from a well and he thought the It goes right back in the serving a concerns of others, water table." municipalwere addressed at ity.

tems, said he has never heard of a case where there as been backwash into the aquifer.

“There are four precautionary systems in place to keep that from happening,” Sutter said. “There isa chemigation valve, a pressure valve, a mister-mister valve that is spring loaded and then a check valve.”

Sutter said each system is independent of the other and provides an almost 100 percent guarantee there will not be any contamination of the ground water as a result of a malfunction or leak at the site of the nitrogen tank.

Sutter said the weather patterns of the last two years have made it easy to sell irrigation systems.

While not every field is suitable for the most efficient irrigation systems, Sutter said in most cases one can be designed for a particular need.

“We have ran them up hillsides before,” he said.

The first component to a successful irrigation system is the water supply.

“The Mississippi River basin is plentiful for wells to be dug for irrigation,” Sutter said. “The second thing needed is a power source. In most cases either IREC or Ameren will run

a line.”

Robert Reed, a former member of the IREC board, says that company even has a special rate for irrigation systems.

Sutter said a rule of thumb for the cost of an irrigation system is around $1,300 per acre. That includes the well drilling and the installation of the power source. Sutter says a system can pay for itself in three to five years.

“The bigger the field, the cheaper it is,” he said. “The bigger circle the irrigation can make, the more acres it covers, increases the cost effectiveness.”

He said a lot of the cost is based on the price of oil and steel.

According to Sutter, a system that is well maintained can last up to 40 years.

“I have one on my farm now that is 38 years old,” he said.

With the increase in production and the health of the plant, and the easy availability of the water, Sutter says it makes sense to install a system.

“Millions of gallons of water go down the Mississippi River every day,” Sutter said. “Once it gets passed us and on down the river into the Gulf, it’s gone. We are blessed to have the Mississippi here where we can use it.”

Local doctor participates in prison ministry Dinner and flags

By JEANETTE WALLACE Pike Press Russ Henderson, a family nurse practitioner at Quincy Medical Group in Pittsfield, is participating in a prison ministry through a foundation called Kairos.

Kairos is an international prison ministry that began in 1979 and involves volunteers all over the world visiting inmates in prison.

The volunteers give their testimonies and listen to the stories of the

inmates in the prison.

"We listen to them and then we share our experiences in our lives," Henderson said. "This isn't something where we go in and try to save them or convert them. It's nothing like that."

This Thursday, Nov. 7 the group of around 17 volunteers that Henderson is a part of will be visiting the Western Illinois Correctional Center in Mt. Sterling and will stay until Sunday. The last day of the

ministry program, guests and family are invited to attend and prisoners who participate can share what the program that weekend meant to them.

The program is ecumenical. The volunteers in Henderson's group are members of a lot of different denominations and from towns all over Illinois, including Peoria, Springfield, Jacksonville and Champaign-Urbana.

Henderson lives in Jacksonville

and has been working at Quincy Medical Group in Pittsfield since January.

Henderson explained that he is also willing to visit churches and speak about the ministry if any are interested. Anyone interested in the Kairos ministry can visit www. kpmifoundation.org.

"We are all deserving of forgiveness and that applies to those that are even behind bars," Henderson said.

Loss of federal funding decreases SNAP benefits

By BOB CROSSEN Pike Press Participants of the Supplemental Nutritional Assistance Program (SNAP) will receive less money each month due to an expiring federal act which had boosted the money offered by the program.

The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, the stimulus which was enacted by U.S. Congress and signed into law by President Barack Obama in 2009, expired at the end of October, causing a decrease in benefits for participants of SNAP, which is the state's food stamp program, formerly known as LINK. Januari Smith, spokesperson for Illinois Department of Human Services, said it is unlikely a similar financial boost to the program will occur based on the current congres-

sional climate in Washington.

"They're talking about even cutting even further, so I would doubt we would get this increase back," Smith said.

Funding for the program is set at a federal level, Smith said, and states are tasked with administering SNAP in their areas.

The spokeswoman said the state is not responsible for the reduction in benefits which can range from $11 per month for a household of one to $81 per month for a household of 10 people.

Though the reduction may look small on paper, Smith said the program is designed to issue, on average, $5 each day per household member for food, meaning the $11 lost by an individual could be two days worth of supplemental income for food. Though the program is

meant to offer supplemental funds for food purchases, Smith said many families rely strongly on the service.

"It will definitely impact those families that depend on this program," Smith said, noting how much a family receives is based on a number of factors, including, but not limited to, income and family size.

"Obviously, this is a supplement, as well, but [for] a lot of families, this is all they have.

According to information provided on the Department of Human Services website, the Jersey County office has around 6,300 people using the food stamp service on a regular basis in approximately 2,900 households. Of that total, around 1,100 people receive no public assistance other than SNAP. The Jersey office serves the counties of Calhoun, Greene and Jersey.

From the same information source, the Adams County office says 13,500 people receive SNAP benefits. Those people are in around 6,500 households, and 2,400 receive only SNAP benefits and no other public assistance. The Adams office serves the counties of Adams, Pike and Scott.

In 2010, there were approximately 4,000 households which received the benefits for approximately 8,500 people, according to the Adams County numbers, and around 2,200 people used the service in 2010 in around 950 households, according to the Jersey County figures.

For more information about the change, visit dhs.state.il.us and navigate through the "for customers" link to the Family and Community Services division to view SNAP information.

Davidsmeyer to host insurance seminars this month for retired teachers, state workers State Representative C.D. Davidsmeyer (R-Jacksonville) will host a pair of informational seminars this month for retired teachers and state workers regarding changes to Medicare Advantage coverage.

The seminars, at 9:30 a.m. and again at 1:30 p.m., Friday, Nov. 22 at Hamilton’s Banquet Hall, 110 N. East Street in Jacksonville, will be co-hosted by the Illinois Department of Central Management Services (CMS) and representatives

of Medicare Advantage providers.

“The upcoming change to Medicare Advantage coverage for retirees is something I have been hearing a lot about over the past few weeks,” Davidsmeyer said. “These seminars will give local residents the chance to get their questions answered and make good decisions going forward.”

The changes to Medicare Advantage plans take effect on Feb. 1. Davidsmeyer said he hopes

that those with questions or concerns will stop by one of the seminars to find answers about their options for coverage.

CMS is holding a limited number of seminars in a short time-frame throughout the state, so if there are scheduling conflicts it may be possible to find another date and location. Reservations are not required, but those with questions can contact Rep. Davidsmeyer’s office at (217) 2436221.

for Veterans Day Pittsfield Post 152 American Legion Veterans Day Dinner will be celebrated this year on Saturday, Nov. 9, 7-9 p.m. at the Post Home.

A poll of members felt too many could not make it to a Monday event.

Post members who have their dues paid eat free. Eligible veterans who wish to join the American Legion can also pay their dues at the door.

The delicious swiss steak dinner will be cooked with the same formula that has been used since the first Post dinner in 1920, and is the same that was cooked for General “Black Jack” Pershing on

Armistice Day. “We’re looking forward to a good turnout. See you there!” said Harry Wright, spokesman.

Memorial Flags will be posted around the Pittsfield Square on Saturday, Nov. 9, at 8:30 a.m., weather permitting, and taken down on Monday, Nov. 11, at 4:30 p.m.

“We could use some help in getting this accomplished and would appreciate anyone volunteering to get this done,” Wright said.

If the weather is inclement, the Memorial Flags will not be posted.

This is because each flag graced the casket of a veteran and is irreplaceable.

Board (Continued from A1) Noble said Local 965 began their negotiations demanding $1,800 per year, per employee. Twice the courthouse employees have filed an intent to strike. Most recently, in May, the workers were scheduled to strike on a Friday. But, the day before the department heads, without consent of the board, signed a letter to go to arbitration. So, again, the strike notice was withdrawn.

However, Noble said the letter was invalid and that in order for arbitration to take place the county board, circuit clerk and union all have to agree.

“We had no knowledge of them signing that letter,” he said.

Though the sides are still quite a ways apart, the board recently secured attorney Chris Walters out of Canton to guide the county board through the negotiations. Noble said he’s hopeful the change will make a difference.

“We’re going to see what we can do,” he said. “And then later this month, we’re going to sit down at the table and see if we can get a deal done.”

Negotiations with the Fraternal Order of Police, which began earlier this year, have also stalled. Noble

said those negotiations are internal, and the details cannot be discussed.

He did, however, say it has been three months since the FOP has made any attempts to communicate, and are going to enter into binding arbitration. As essential safety personnel, the sheriff’s department employees cannot go on strike and can choose arbitration without board approval.

In the sheriff’s department, the sheriff has the highest base pay, at $2,296 every two weeks. But after overtime has been figured in Chief Deputy Steve Lehr has earned the most in the department, bringing in $59,490 through Oct. 28. The lowest bi-weekly paycheck issued has a base of $1032.54.

The ambulance department is also represented by Local 965, but have not yet begun negotiating a new contract. Like the sheriff’s department, the employees in the ambulance department are essential safety personnel and can choose binding arbitration without board approval.

The ambulance department paid eight employees more than $40,000 through the first 10 months of the year, though the largest bi-weekly paycheck has a base rate of $1,899.61.

And that employee had earned less than $40,000 through October.

Bryan Howland opens chiropractic business in Pittsfield American

By JEANETTE WALLACE Pike Press Doctor Bryan Howland will be accepting patients at his new chiropractic office, Complete Chiropractic Acupuncture and Family Wellness, in Pittsfield Tuesday, Nov. 12 at 8 a.m.

There will also be an open house Friday, Nov. 8 and Saturday, Nov. 9 from 11a.m.-2 p.m. both days.

During the open house, visitors can tour the office, meet the doctor and have a meal provided by R&K burgers and Ackles fruit.

Howland was born and raised in Pittsfield until he graduated from Pittsfield High School in 2004. He graduated from the Logan College of Chiropractic in St. Louis in August 2013.

He decided he wanted to come back to Pittsfield because his family is here and also because his business will offer several services that aren't available in this area, including acupuncture, kinesiotaping, nutritional counseling, blood sensitivity testing, orthotics, hormone analysis and gut health profiles.

"The specialties that I provide are not…around this area," Howland

said.

He explained that part of the reason he wanted to go into business for himself was because most of the chiropractors in the area don't do the other services.

"Going into business with someone was not really a viable option around here," Howland said. "I feel like it's important to build something from your own reputation and honesty, as well."

Howland didn't decide he was going to go into the field of chiropractics until he went to college.

"I read my first biology book for seven hours and the next day I finished the book and then I knew that the health field and caring for people was my calling," he said. "I didn't know how important chiropractic was until I was in the program and I lost 40 pounds and felt like a completely different person healthwise."

Complete Chiropractic Acupuncture and Family Wellness is located at 114 N. Monroe St. and will be open Mondays through Wednesdays from 8 a.m.-5 p.m., Thursdays from 8 a.m.-7 p.m. and Fridays from 9 a.m.-3 p.m.

The Clampetts come to Pittsfield High School this weekend

By JEANETTE WALLACE Pike Press Students at Pittsfield High School will be performing "The Beverly Hillbillies" Friday, Nov. 8 and Saturday, Nov. 9 at 7 p.m. both nights at the Pittsfield High School auditorium.

The show, based on the popular TV sitcom, is about a family of hillbillies, the Clampetts, who strike it rich when oil is discovered on their land. With some persuading by Cousin Pearl, played by Samantha Clostermery, the Clampetts decide to move to Beverly Hills, in part to get tomboy Elly May (Madalene Davis) into a good school so she'll start acting more like a lady.

When the family arrives at their new home, they soon discover a world completely different from their old home. They're greeted by Mr. and Mrs. Drysdale (Adam Borrowman and Maddie Palmer) the next-door neighbors, who aren't quite sure what to think of the Clampetts, though Mr. Drysdale, the family's new banker, is happy to keep them in the area because of their money.

He convinces Mrs. Pennyweather (Alyssa Graham) to take Elly May and Cousin Jethro, played by D.J. Wintjen, as students at her prestigious school, with the promise

that they will make a donation to the new library. Savannah Hibbert plays Miss Hathaway, Drysdale's secretary, who gets caught in the middle of the scheming.

The family also gets an unexpected visit from an old friend, Emaline Fetty, played by Alayna Mendenhall.

The cast deliver a great show, keeping the audience entertained with jokes throughout the night. Granny, played by Aubrey Henderson, finds herself perplexed by all the modern technology in her new home, even setting the stove on fire at one point.

Jed, played by Kody Freeman, just trying to provide for his family, gets caught unawares in several schemes during the play.

Wintjen gives a good performance as simple Cousin Jethro, who is pursued relentlessly by several ladies, played by Maddie Palmer, Sylvia Robbins and Maggie Wright, throughout the show.

Others in the cast were Percy, played by Austin Fine; Colonel Foxhall, played by Kyler Phillips; Officer Richards, played by Eric Hammitt; Turner, played by Jonathon Stendback; Brewster, played by Rodney Gordley; Mrs. Oglethorpe, played by Aubrie Westmaas; Mr. Oglethorp, played

The Greenhands participated in many games that involved leadership and teamwork. It was a very fun evening for both the older and newer members.

Celebrating

egg day

Tanner Still, left and Hannah Ward were two of the PHS FFA students who went to South School to organize activities for second graders involving eggs. The group set up a 1000 egg, Easter egg hunt, read a book written by graduates of Pittsfield High School last year, gave the second graders a World Egg Day page to color, and a snack.

This Week's

Online Poll Week of Wednesday, November 6, 2013

Monday, Nov. 11 is Q: Next Veteran’s Day.

Our View VETERAN’S DAY

1. I know many veterans.

2. I plan to thank at least one veteran.

3. I am a veteran myself and proud of it.

4. I’m just glad to have a day off

Thank a vet

Share your answer at pikepress.com

Last week's poll results Halloween is upon us.

A) I always dress up.

B) I dip into the Trick or Treat bowl for myself.

C) I don’t participate in this Holiday.

D) I’ve already seen Christmas decorations. Oh no!

It’s that time of year again – time to thank veterans for their service to our country.

Fortunately, the Pike County Chamber of Commerce makes the mission easy – far easier than the life and death assignment many of our vets have faced.

Again this year, the Chamber is providing postcards to be mailed to local veterans along with a note of thanks. The cards are available at the C of C office and at locations throughout the county, including banks, post offices and the Pike Press office.

If thank you notes are not your “thing,” another option is available. When you encounter a veteran this week, look them in the eye, shake their hand and affirm, “I thank you for your service to our country.”

Veterans are all around us – male, female, young, old. They come from all branches of service and from the Reserve and National Guard. They have served in wars and conflicts reaching back to World War II. Next Monday, Nov. 11 is Veterans Day. Do not let it pass unnoticed.

PIKE PRESS SEEKING GUEST COLUMNISTS If anyone is interested in submitting a guest column, please contact the Pike Press.

The optismistic explorer Medical waiting rooms provide interesting encounters. Hurting and sometimes fearful people are prime prospects for encouraging words and are often receptive to invitations to faith. Occasionally, there’s even a memorable article in one of the magazines provided for impatient patients that makes the wait worthwhile. Such was the case not long ago when, awaiting my turn for a routine physical, the intriguing account of Lewis and Clark’s epic explorations caught my eye and then my attention. The scenery, the descriptions of hair raising adventures, and the mystery of history made this wait worthwhile, but one statement by Captain Clark towered above all the rest.

Upon reading Clark’s comment, I quickly scribbled it on a subscription card in Smithsonian Magazine lest it slip away before I could share it with others. Here’s the scene and substance of Clark’s statement that has life changing potential; may-

be for you today: Captain Clark and company have reached the Rocky Mountains and are headed for the Pacific Ocean. A painting shows him captivated by the beauty before him. Suddenly, however, he is distracted from the beauty of the moment by thoughts about the difficulties and hardships this tough terrain may present to him and his companions as they carry out their mission. Injuries and even death loom.

Then, moving his mood from fear to faith, Clark says, “As I have always held it a little short of criminality to anticipate evils, I will allow it to be a good and comfortable road until I am compelled to believe otherwise,” a wise decision, since he lived another 33 successful years, achieved many goals and died of natural causes.

We are all explorers, looking everyday for new discoveries. Sometimes these explorations lead us into dangerous places

and new challenges, but there is no need to fear if our faith is in the One who knows the future.

Looking out my upstairs office window at this time of the year, I see a panorama of beauty. Fall has arrived in all its splendor: crisp autumn air seems to brighten the blue above, making a dramatic backdrop for trees whose leaves have erupted in kaleidoscopic colors; Canada Geese and their more diminutive but no less organized cousins frolic in a flurry of activity preparing for their own impressive and expansive expeditions, demonstrating God’s design in His creation and His love for us. But if, like Captain Clark, I allow myself to focus on fear instead of faith I will immediately lose the blessings of all this beauty.

God hasn’t promised blue skies every day. We may experience emotional and physical pain, face conflicts with disagreeable people and receive unwanted bills in

the mail, but none of these things can separate us from the love of God. As C.S. Lewis wrote, “The great thing…both as regards pain and financial worries, is to live day to day and hour to hour, not adding the past or the future to the present.”

Faith enables us to be triumphant in trouble (1 John 5:4). There may be dangerous mountains to cross, but knowing that faith moves mountains (Matthew 17:20) makes optimistic explorers of us all.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR We’ve been sold a bill of goods We, the American people, have been defrauded. How you may ask? Simple. Our overlords have sold us a bill of goods. They have told us the system of government in this country is a democracy and we believed them! They have told us that thanks to our American democracy we enjoy the blessings of freedom and liberty. Nothing could be farther from the truth.

Just consider what the founding fathers had to say on this subject. I think we can agree that they should know something about the true meaning of the system of government they established.

Let’s start with Benjamin Franklin. He said, “Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch.

Liberty is a well-armed lamb contesting the vote.”

Here is a New Englander’s view. John Adams said, “Democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts and murders itself. There never was a democracy yet that did not commit suicide.”

He also said, “The desires of the majority of the people are often for injustice and inhumanity against the minority, and is demonstrated by every page of the history of the world.”

His son, John Quincy Adams, echoed the same sentiment to the people of his generation. He said, “The experience of all former ages had shown that of all human governments, democracy was the most unstable, fluctuating and shortlived.”

The author of the Declaration of Independence, Thomas Jefferson, warned against the dangers of democracy. He said, “A democracy is nothing more than mob rule, where 51% of the people may take away the rights of the other 49%.” He also said, “Democracy will cease to exist when you take away from those who are willing to work and give to those who would not.”

James Madison, known as the “father of the Constitution,” was equally leery of democracy. He said, “Democracies have ever been spectacles of turbulence and contention; have ever been found incompatible with personal security or the rights of property and have in general been as short in their lives as they have been violent in their death.”

As a caution to future generations, James Madison warned, “Democracy was the right of the people to choose their own tyrant.”

Who has the better argument? Our founders or the talking heads of today? As for me, I think I’ll stick with what the founders had to say on this subject.

Democracy by its very nature destroys individual freedom and liberty. The only protection we have for liberty and freedom is the eternal vigilance of the American people. We have a useful tool in our defense called the United States Constitution. We need to use it. We must elect people to office who understand these things and are willing to defend the Constitution, not bend it to their own designs and call it “democracy”. We, the American people, must call our

elected leaders to task when they deviate from their sworn duty to uphold and defend the constitution, something we have sadly neglected. Our neglect has been to our own peril.

Neither the Democratic party at large or the Republican party establishment can be trusted to defend the Constitution. The political class has their own agenda, and it is not in the best interests of the American people. Thankfully, grass roots movements like the Tea Party, the Tenth Amendment movement and the Convention of the States have arisen to challenge the ruling class and defend our original system of government.

In closing, consider this quote from a major political figure of the early 19th century.

“Behind the ostensible government sits enthroned an invisible government owning no allegiance and acknowledging no responsibility to the people. To destroy this invisible government, to befoul the unholy alliance between corrupt business and corrupt politics is the first task of the statesman of today.”

In this revealing statement, Teddy Roosevelt gave voice to our need to be conscious of the evil designs of certain groups of people in our society.

In the light of Teddy’s warning, it leads me to wonder, who really is behind the current health care “reform” measure called Obamacare? I wonder who wrote it and why?

What was their objective and why now? What do they hope to accomplish? I am smart enough to know Nancy Pelosi, who said, “We have to pass it before we can know what is in it” is not astute enough to write it. Despite how cerebral the media tells us Barack Obama is, I don’t think he had the intellectual where-with-all to write the bill to which his name is forever attached.

So, who really is the master puppeteer pulling the strings on this one?

Stay tuned for the “rest of the story” next week.

What is Pike County coming to?

Presidential truthfulness I have lived during the terms of 14 different Presidents of the United States. That is almost one third of the total who have held the office. I can only rely on the accuracy of history books for rating the honesty of the first two thirds of them. But I do have personal knowledge about the last 14. This list is a small sample of their presidential veracity.

1.LBJ’s lies about the Gulf of Tonkin and his part in starting the Vietnam War. 2.Nixon’s Watergate statements, including his famous, “I am not a crook”.

3.Reagan’s denial of knowing about the Iran-Contra fiasco.

4.Bill Clinton’s perjurious testimony, “I did not have sex with that woman”.

5.Barack Obama’s “I did not draw a red line” about Syria.

But Obama’s severe distortion of the truth about his red line comment is almost inconsequential compared to the

overall content of his outright lies since he entered the political scene. If he chose to, he could probably make a very truthful claim of having a pathological disorder that has earned the title of Most Prolific Presidential Prevaricator in the history of our country. Obama’s total of documented lies permanently recorded for later research by historians now number in the hundreds. The term “pathological liar” has never been more fitting than for our current president.

He has lied about Eric Holder’s Fast and Furious gun-running operation. He has lied about Benghazi, which resulted in the deaths of four Americans. He has lied when claiming his recess appointments were legal because Congress was not in session when they actually were still in session. He has lied about Solyndra. He has lied about NSA’s illegal operations. He has lied about other spying activities. The list just goes on and on. His crowning achievement involving an onslaught of multiple lies rests with the dozens of lies he has repeated over and over again in his speeches about his “Affordable Care Act”, better known as Obamacare. “If you like your doctor you can keep your doctor”. “If you like your health care plan you can keep your health care plan”.

“Under my Affordable Care Act most people’s premiums will go down”. Obama’s false statements just continue ad infinitum. Judging by past behavior future speeches guarantee more pap.

Obama has a multitude of rather pathetic administration and media supporters who attempt to either conceal or justify his many transgressions. This president epitomizes the old joke of “How can you tell if a politician is lying? His lips are moving”. But surely the honest and decent portion of our citizenry deserve better than this president is capable of delivering.

How does the Pike County Board feel justified in fighting against a county employee that has given 24-1/2 years of her life, faithfully working for Pike County, with the minuscule pay increase they have proposed over the next three years?

Apparently, Pike County’s money, a sizable portion which is collected on a daily basis within the office I work, can’t be used to increase my income in order to bring my earnings above the poverty level?

It seems the Board would rather pay attorneys from outside the county to fight against their own. What is the world and Pike County coming to? Does handwork, loyalty and dedication mean anything anymore? Apparently not to the Pike County Board.

The Coonridge Digest: Freida Marie Crump

The ancient tradition of eavesdropping Greetings from the Ridge Angela’s Merkel’s nose is out of joint and I can’t say as how I blame her. Her German sources tell her the U.S. has been snooping into the Chancellor’s phone calls. Several other world leaders have been loudly protesting that our government might be eavesdropping on the official phone lines over the past few years. Of course, much of this is bluster since any country with a screwdriver and a modem is busy snooping on all the others.

Frankly, I don’t see what all the fuss was about. Ever since Og the Cro-Magnon man moved into the cavern next to Bog, he and his descendants have been straining to hear what’s said in the next cave over. It’s human and hu-woman nature.

I’d grab a popsicle out of Grandma’s fridge then go running through her living room to catch the opening scenes of Lassie and find my grandmother sitting on her phone chair, hand over the mouthpiece, listening in on her neighborhood’s party line. I didn’t need any news scoop from WikiLeaks to tell me that Grandma was a snoop. She’d see me, her eyes would go into full-startle and she’d put down the receiver, gently telling me, “Wrong number.” Of course this encouraged me to do the same thing whenever Grandma was out in the garden and I was left alone with

the ringing telephone. To tell you truth, I don’t remember ever hearing anything really juicy on the party line. “Did Hershel go to town?”

“Yep. Yesterday.”

“Anything new?”

“Not as far as I could tell.”

That was the level of excitement in rural American at the time of the party line.

And who among us hasn’t stopped chewing for a moment, then leaned back a bit to catch what’s being said in the restaurant booth behind us? Someone asked me what I did for a newspaper column if I had no idea that week. The answer is simple: go to a restaurant and eavesdrop.

We used to have a couple in Coonridge whose nightly entertainment was slowly cruising the neighborhood in their Pontiac, hoping to find an undraped window to peak into. Oh, they didn’t traipse through the yard and look, but I can remember my mother once stopping to wave at Bob and Winnie’s parked car in front of our house. It’s human nature to want to know what’s happening on the other side of our own particular rock.

Some worshippers find themselves in a holy predicament when asking for prayer. Yes, we’d like folks to pray for our concerns, but do we really want our malady spread all over town and when some congregations avail themselves of the Internet then our private concern loses all semblance of confidentiality. A good rule is to simply ask before

Magnon man moved into the cavern next to Bog, he and his descendants have been straining to hear what’s said in the next cave over. It’s human and hu-woman nature. ”

you publish.

Bottom line: our current paranoia about losing our privacy is a lost issue and it started the day the local newspaper printed our birth announcement. It’s not a small town thing.

It’s not even an American thing. It’s a human thing. People want to know what’s going on in the lives of others and the only way to prevent this is to shut up or be prepared to pay the consequences. I once saw a Facebook posting by a teenage girl who I knew that said, “Hey, I’m in (whatever) town! Anybody want to party?” When I next saw the young lady I scolded her about making her whereabouts so public.

She looked at me like I was pre-computer fossil and said, “Freida, I only meant for my friends to read that.” Duh. We then had a little chat on the meaning of the word “stupid.”

Sometimes I wish that I had a life interesting enough that it might cause someone to snoop on me, but when I look at my emails and listen to myself chat on the phone I see little chance of any Wiki leaking on my privacy. Maybe that’s a

good way to rid the world of Internet snoopers…let them listen to me then simply pass away out of boredom.

My Uncle Harris once said, “If you’re mad at a fellow, don’t write him a letter. Go and tell him. He’ll have that letter long after you’ve made up and become friends.” Perhaps the problem is not in what we snoop but in what we say.

So I sympathize with you, Frau Merkel, but I’m afraid we’re stuck in a world of “You say it and it belongs to the world.” Maybe we can still take comfort that what takes place in the privacy of our bedroom is still a secret, but that would be a very inconvenient place to hold the next G8 Summit.

You ever in Coonridge, stop by. We may not answer the door but you’ll enjoy the trip.

PICKINGS FROM

PIKE’S PAST 75 Y : P C ears ago

ike

125 Years Ago Nov. 1, 1888 The grand rally of the democracy at Barry last week was a marvelous success. There were groups there from all over Pike county, making five miles of processions, and a thousand torch lights in the evening. It was among the grandest rallies of the democratic party of Pike for the presidential canvass of 1888.

Ho! For the democrat rally at Chambersburg. Take your torches to Chambersburg and light up the hills as they never were lit before.

The republican rally in Pittsfield was led by a colored band from Hannibal, behind which came 25 of their colored brethren. The republicans seemed happy with their rally, even though the entire procession took just 34 minutes.

The prohibition party will hold meetings in Maysville, Nebo, Detroit, Chambersburg, New Canton and Kinderhook prior to the election.

Monday, a little chap, son of Sam Tedrow, living north of the Maysville and New Salem road, found his father’s torch in the smokehouse, and lighting it, formed himself into a procession and started marching. As a result, 12 or 15 tons of hay were burned, and the barn and house were saved only by the fact that the wind blew away from them instead of toward them. DeLoss Grigsby and others happened along in time to aid in saving them.

100 Years Ago Nov. 5, 1913 Joe Page, of the Jersey County Democrat, is a mighty level-headed democrat and is very apt to see things in the right light.

The Halloween social at the Time M. E. church Friday night was a success; the most interesting things were the female quartette by Mabel Thorton, Eva Ruble, Mona and Mary Clark, and the music by professor Jermer.

Sunday was a love feast at the Pittsfield Christian church. Two splendid congregations gathered to hear Bro. W. A. Meloan preach. Twenty-two years ago he was the pastor here and during his ministry the present church building was erected. It was good to see him and

ounty upset by

his estimable wife again.

George Halpin is putting up a fine monument on the C. H. Shaw lot in the West cemetery.

Mail cars were put on the mid-day accommodation train on the Wabash Monday and now all trains in and out of here are mail trains. This gives Pittsfield six mail trains a day and is about as good service as any old town with only one railroad can show.

Elizabeth Mayo, who has been employed as stenographer for the law firm of Williams and Williams for several years, will act as the private secretary of Congressman Williams and accompany him to Washington. The position pays $1500 per year.

75 Years Ago Nov. 2, 1938 Many people in Pike county thought the end of the world had come on the eve of Halloween—part of the night of hysteria that swept the nation during a graphic network broadcast of Orson Welles’ adaptation of H.G. Wells’ 40-year-old fantasy, having to do with the invasion of this planet by men from Mars. Many missed completely the several announcements that it was a program. Scientists say it was “emotional deafness” that was responsible for listeners missing the announcements. They say that people are in a nervous and excitable frame of mind because of troubled conditions in the world and are ready to imagine calamity if given half a chance.

Balmy weather continues for the county. The high for Oct. 31 was 75, and the high for Nov. 2 was 74. Tom Aldrich says it was the warmest October in 60 years.

A total of 625 Pike county farmers and their families assembled at the Clark Theatre in Pittsfield for the 19th annual meeting of the Farm Bureau, the fourth annual meeting of the service company and the first annual meeting of the farm supply company, the two latter being subsidiaries of the Farm Bureau.

Hope for a local hospital was revived this past week when Robert Jordan, an associate director of the Commonwealth Fund of New York City, arrived here for an investigation. He met with the local committee, consisting of Judge A. Clay Williams, president, and E. D.

'Martian Invasion'

Glandon, Dr. F. L. Flatt, Dr. P. V. Dilts and atty. Sam G. Jenkins.

The Pittsfield high school football team lost a tough game 13-7 to the Carrollton Hawks.

50 Years Ago Nov. 6, 1963 Miss Charollette Daniels, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Leo Daniels, was crowned Pleasant Hill High School Homecoming Queen by football Captain Bob Robertson. Senior representative Linda Freesmeyer presented the queen with a bouquet of roses. Sharon Wineland was mistress of ceremonies.

Mr. and Mrs. John Petty are the parents of a son, John Christopher, born Thursday afternoon at Illini Hospital.

Mrs. Sue Dyer and Mrs. Kathleen Kindle and Janie accompanied Mrs. Carol Shireman of Pleasant Hill to Quincy where they were shopping.

The Pike County Young Republicans club is planning a candidate night Saturday night in the Pittsfield high school auditorium. Fred Bradshaw is the chairman of the group and other officers are Jack Dyer, Norma Allen, Barbara Allen and Warren Winston.

Don Apps has been busy the past month remodeling his store, Apps Super Market on Clarksville. He has installed completely new meat and dairy display cases, and is still making improvements.

Crowned Queen and King of the East Pike Harvest Festival in Milton recently were Mary Lee Bauer, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Bauer of Milton and John Hoover, son of Mr. and Mrs. John B. Hoover of Milton.

25 Years Ago Nov. 2, 1988 The long-awaited ground breaking for the new 75-resident Pittsfield Manor nursing home is scheduled for noon Friday, Nov. 4. Dale Black of Rockport is the general contractor who will build the facility on what is now a five acre vacant lot north of Lowry Park in southwest Pittsfield.

At its regular meeting Tuesday, Oct. 25, Illini Community Hospital board of directors decided not to accept

county tax dollars. Norm Greene, Illini administrator, stated that Illini has not asked that the tax be levied since 1986.

Republican also filled the Legion Hall for a pre-election dinner. Actual plate count put the number above 400. Emcee for the GOP gathering was Sue Dyer, wife of the Pike County Republican Chairman Jack Dyer.

Sunday, Nov. 6 will be Youth Sunday at First Christian Church (Disciples of Christ). Jenny Hurd and Wendy Feezel will deliver the message at the 8:15 service and Leslie Willard and Renna Campbell will deliver the 10:30 message.

Two Pike County students were among 11 finalists for the 1988 Homecoming Queen at Illinois College, Jacksonville. They were Susan Whittaker, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Harvey Whittaker of Perry, and Melanie Dean, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Dawson Dean of Griggsville.

10 Years Ago Nov. 5, 2003

The Griggsville-Perry board of education is approaching money-saving options with a sense of urgency. According to superintendent Mike Davies, making $300,000 in cuts for next school year will cause the district to simply break even.

All season the football Saukees have been saying “Get ‘er done.” With Saturday’s 13-12 win over Shelbyville in the first round of the 3A state playoffs the Saukees “got ‘er done” despite playing most of the game in a driving rain storm. Coach Bigley described it as “as total team effort. Every tackle had five players in on it.”

The PHS Drama Club is presenting “Arsenic and Old Lace” as its fall play. Among the talented cast are Paige Halpin, Jade Roseberry, Jeremy Schoenherr, Braxton Boren, Laura Brokaw, Charlie Hull, Jane Grote, Kristen Bess, James Geiselman, Jessica Moore, Adam Johnson, Paul Grote, Spencer Boren, Darcey James, Mark Johnson, Derrick Halpin, Evan Roderick and Gretchen Shaw.

Outdoor Truths: Gary Miller

I’ve always considered myself a prepared hunter. Some would say over prepared. I very rarely go into the woods without my backpack. During the colder months this is especially true.

Since I’m never absolutely sure as to what the weather will bring, I take just about everything. My backpack is over three-thousand cubic inches. I strategically place additional clothes in it or strapped to it. I carry additional socks, gloves, headgear, and even an extra base-layer shirt, just in case I sweat too much while getting to the stand.

The nooks and crannies are stuffed full of other things like snacks, a drink, my reading glasses, a book, paper, and a pen. And there’s

What sort of burden are you carrying?

also my umbrella and rain gear. In addition to all of this, I carry a fanny pack, as well, full of calls, scents, rope, compass, trimmers, and anything else that suits my fancy.

Now some of you are already laughing at my overkill. You’re not the first. I’ve never weighed my gear, but I figure that it really doesn’t matter because the burden of the load is a small price to pay in order to be a more prepared, and even satisfied, hunter.

Sometimes the weight is cumbersome and walking the hills most assuredly puts a toll on my legs, but as the season progresses it eventually becomes almost unnoticeable.

Some of you, right now, are carrying a load of a different kind. It’s a burden that

weighs on your heart and mind. It may be one that you have caused or that you had nothing to do with.

These burdens come through all sorts of circumstances, from sickness, the concern over a child, the loss of a job, divorce, or a host of other things. Your mind is questioning the purpose of such a burden and the Devil is quick to answer your question by casting the guilt squarely in your lap and telling you, “If you had only (fill in the blank) this would have never happened, and now God will abandon you to suffer the consequences alone.”

The Bible is clear about the Devil and his ways. It says that he is the father of lies and

his purpose is to destroy your faith by causing you to doubt and disbelieve the Word of God. The truth of the scriptures assures us of several things. They tell us that we are loved

by God, that He will never leave us, and that He has promised to bring good to our lives even in the midst of our burdens. He has also promised to us, peace.

Having peace many times doesn’t come from the burden being taken away but by changing our mind concerning it. My backpack was not a burden because I knew in my mind it would make me better prepared. The weight was the same but my mind counted it worthwhile. What you may need right now

is not your burden removed but only to see it from the perspective of God. It is not bigger than He. In fact it is simply a tool in His hands to prepare you for what He is making you to be.

Ask God to give you peace in your trial. The Bible says He will give it in such a way that it will surprise even you.

Veterans Day is Monday. An Act approved May 13, 1938, made Nov. 11 each year a legal holiday—a day to be dedicated to the cause of world peace and to be thereafter celebrated and known as “Armistice

Day.” Armistice Day was primarily a day set aside to honor veterans of World War I, but in 1954, after World War II had required the greatest recruitment of soldiers, sailors, Marines and airmen in the Nation’s history; after American forces had fought aggression in Korea, the 83rd Congress, at the urging of the veterans service organizations, amended the Act of 1938 by striking out the word “Armistice” and inserting in its place the word “Veterans.” With the approval of this legislation (Public Law 380) on June 1, 1954, Nov. 11 became a day to honor American veterans of all wars. Veterans Day continues to be observed Nov. 11, regardless of what day of the week on which it falls. It’s a day of cele-

Tickets are $20 each and this includes the meal and the concert. Detroit Christian Church plans to take a group to this wonderful event. Since the Holiday Inn only has room for a certain amount of people, if you would like to go with them, you will need to purchase your tickets right away. Call Steve Haskins at (217) 285-5521, order your tickets, go in and pay for your tickets by writing a check to Detroit Christian Church, and as soon as the tickets come in, he will let you know so you can come in to pick up yours. Dec. 9, you will need to be in front of the Farmers State Bank at 4, if you want to go as a group (which I strongly suggest), transportation will be provided. Or you can just follow everyone else up. But you definitely need to be at the Holiday Inn by 5 to get a decent seat.

There was an excellent crowd at the Detroit Christian Church Saturday evening, Nov. 2, for the Gospel Gigs which featured for the second half Saved By Grace from Roodhouse. It was a great evening of wonderful singing and plenty of fellowship and delicious food afterwards.

For he that will love life, and see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips that they speak no guile: Let him eschew evil, and do good; let him seek peace, and ensue it. For the eyes of the Lord are over the righteous, and his ears are open unto their prayers: but the face of the Lord is against them that do evil. 1 Peter 3:10, 11, 12 “In all my years of marriage, I have never been a backseat driver. I like to be right up front where I can grab the steering wheel, turn the radio off, and put my foot through the floor of the passenger side of the car and pretend it’s a brake”. Erma Bombeck After seeing the cost of the St. Louis Post Dispatch (for Sunday’s edition) at $2.50, aren’t we fortunate that we can keep up with local news and events for only 50 cents a week a local newspaper?!

Keep saving those General Mills Boxtops for our local schools.

Recycling is still going strong in west Pittsfield Fridays from 9:30 a.m.-1:30 p.m. out by Universal Bowling.

Are you or your group trying to think of a good honest organization to donate to either during Christmas or all year long? I’m sure there are several but two that come first in my mind are Pike County Unmet Needs and the Transportation Fund at the Pike County Senior Center.

To donate to the Pike County Unmet Needs, I suggest calling the First Christian Church in Pittsfield at (217) 285-4129. And to donate to the Transportation Fund, call the Pike County Senior Center at (217) 285-4969, and ask for Rita. Both are excellent organizations, and very worthwhile causes.

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.

A person with an arrhythmia might feel lightheaded, dizzy or weak. They may also notice a racing feeling or palpitations.

Arrhythmias can be alarming, but they can be treated.

Traffic fatalities up in District 20 Meth lab bust at Pittsfield Apartments

By JEANETTE WALLACE Pike Press A rise in regional traffic fatalities so far this year has road safety officials in Illinois urging motorists to use caution as winter weather and heavy holiday traffic approach.

There have been 17 deaths since the beginning of the year on roadways in the five-county region that makes up Illinois State Police District 20, almost 50 percent increase over the nine deaths recorded through the same time frame last year. Three of the 17 deaths were in Pike County.

Five of the fatalities have been weather related, three due to flooding waters and two were winter blizzard related. Speed also appears to be a factor in 50 percent of the crashes this year.

IN THE CIRCUIT COURT OF THE EIGHTH JUDICIAL CIRCUIT PIKE COUNTY, ILLINOIS ILLINI COMMUNITY HEALTH CARE FOUNDATION, an Illinois Not for Profit Corporation (d/b/a HEALTH AND WELLNESS FOUNDATION OF PIKE COUNTY), Plaintiff, v.

DAVID SCRIBNER and MARIAN SCRIBNER, UNKNOWN OWNERS and NONRECORD CLAIMANTS Defendants.

No.:

2013-CH-33

NOTICE OF PENDENCY OF ACTION NOTICE IS GIVEN TO DAVID SCRIBNER and MARIAN SCRIBNER, Unknown Owners and Non-Record Claimants of the Complaint for Foreclosure filed in the above-entitled cause on October 10, 2013, and that the above-entitled Mortgage Foreclosure Suit is now pending in said Court. The day on or after which a default may be entered against the above is November 22, 2013. The following information applies to said foreclosure proceeding: 1. The names of the Plaintiffs, Defendants, and the case number are identified above.

2. The Court in which the action was brought is identified above.

3. The names of the titleholders of record are: DAVID SCRIBNER and MARIAN SCRIBNER 4. A legal description of the real estate sufficient to identify it with reasonable certainty is as follows: The North One-half of Lots 1 and 2 in Block 28 in Johnson’s Addition to the Town of Griggsville, situated in the County of Pike and in the State of Illinois.

“The best we can do is to continue what we have been doing,” Trooper Mike Kindhart, the safety education officer for District 20, said. “We’re going to continue educating.”

State troopers and local police agencies will also soon begin overtime patrols funded by grants around the holidays.

Two areas in particular, crashes on municipal streets and motorcycle accidents, have continued to see apparent increases in traffic deaths.

It looks like the biggest increase is motorcycles and city streets,” Kindhart said. In the entire region including Pike County, there have been four fatalities on municipal roads since Jan. 1. There had been two over the same period in 2012.

Four of the 17 fatalities in District Property Tax No. 43-057-11 5. A common address or description of the location of the real estate is as follows: 401 South Federal Street, Griggsville, IL 62340 6. The identification of the mortgages sought to be foreclosed are as follows: 1st Mortgage a. Nature of the instrument: Mortgage b. Date of the Mortgage: September 1, 2011 c. Name of Mortgagor: DAVID SCRIBNER and MARIAN SCRIBNER d. Name of Mortgagee: Habitat for Humanity of Pike County, Inc. e. Date and Place of Recording: September 1, 2011 Pike County f. Identification of Recording: 2011-2445 2nd Mortgage a. Nature of Instrument: Mortgage b. Date of the Mortgage: September 1, 2011 c. Name of Mortgagor: DAVID SCRIBNER and MARIAN SCRIBNER d. Name of Mortgagee: Habitat for Humanity of Pike County, Inc. e. Date and Place of Recording: September 1, 2011 Pike County f. Identification of Recording: 2011-2446 HEALTH AND WELLNESS FOUNDATION OF PIKE COUNTY, Plaintiff By: /s/ J. Randall Cox J. Randall Cox, #06206731 Attorney for Plaintiffs FeldmanWasser 1307 South Seventh Street Post Office Box 2418 Springfield, IL 62705 217/544-3403

20 were motorcycle crashes compared to the two at the same time in 1012. These two categories together is almost half of the total this year and a 50 percent increase in both categories.

“Our motorcycle crashes are not just inexperienced kids, it’s an older generation,” Kindhart said. “With the economy, people are jumping on them and riding them when you think they wouldn’t be. Even with the weather turning, you have to watch out for them.”

The overtime patrols that will soon begin during the holidays will concentrate on what the police call the “fatal four” - seat belt use, impaired driving, speeding and distracted driving.

“It will keep going throughout the holiday season,” Kindhart said.

On Wednesday, Oct. 30, at approximately 4:15 pm, the Pike County Sheriff’s Department executed a court authorized search warrant at the Pittsfield Apartments on Piper Lane for evidence of Methamphetamine Production.

Subsequent to the search, officers seized over 150 grams of Liquid Methamphetamine and further took into custody numerous items used in the Manufacture of Methamphetamine including, but not limited to: salt, lye, drain cleaner, pseudoephedrine pills, filters, glass wear, and lithium batteries.

The lab was believed to be active at the time of the search and evidence collected has led investigators to believe that methamphetamine was being manufactured in and around the apartment at least

once a week.

The Illinois State Police Meth Response Team was activated to destroy those items considered volatile and dangerous. Also assisting in the search was the Pittsfield City Police.

Arrested as a result of the search was Shelby B. Burch, 21, of the Rushville/Beardstown area and Colton N. Spradlin, 19, of Griggsville for Possession of Meth Manufacturing Material and Possession of Methamphetamine.

Both subjects were lodged at the Pike County Jail pending court appearance. Two other occupants of the residence were questioned and released pending review by the Pike County State’s Attorney’s Office.

within an apartment complex, not only is it an enormous concern for law enforcement during the search, but the need to eradicate such a tenant is necessary for the safety of the other tenants. There was evidence of not only the manufacture of methamphetamine, but that children were kept in the home at times. This simply has to be a community effort with the ideal that we have to identify and destroy such activity from our environment”, said Sgt. David Greenwood of the Pike County Sheriff’s Department.

Sheriff Paul F. Petty was quick to commend those involved in the investigation. “These persons have resided in the apartment for just a month. With the effort of those investigating and the community observations; we can make a difference.”

Pittsfield pair set personal records at sectional event

Jaylee Clement (Number 161), a senior, finished 81 out of 151, for a time of 21 minutes and 30 seconds at sectionals. Sectional Cross Country took place at Elmwood, Illinois on Saturday, November 2, 2013, a balmy breezy sunny day. Kit finished number 40 out of a field of 166. His time was 17 minutes and 5 seconds.

Kit Mefford, a junior, finished 40 out of a field of 166 at Sectionals.His time was 17 mins and 5 secs. A Cross Country race entails a 3 mile course through hills and and fields with all contestants running in the same heat. The men run as a group and the ladies run as group.

By SAM ELLIOT Pike Press A pair of Pittsfield High School runners capped their cross country seasons with personal-best performances at the Elmwood Class 1A Sectional Saturday at Maple Lane Country Club.

Junior Kitt Mefford and senior Jaylee Clements had their seasons end just shy of a trip to the state championship race, but each set new personal records in Elmwood.

“Part of it is the competition steps up so all the runners step up and find a little quicker pace,” Saukees coach Adam Singler said. “Jaylee and Kitt were running their best towards the end of the year. Especially for two first-year cross country runners who had never done this before, to make it that far is fantastic.”

Clements ran the three-mile course in 21 minutes, 35.2 seconds, to place 81st in

the girls race Saturday. Mefford finished in 17:04.3 to take 40th in the boys race that featured 166 runners.

“He’s never been in a race that large,” Singler said. “Towards the finish, he was actually about 49th — but in 300 meters he passed nine people. He just flew past them.”

Mefford’s effort in Elmwood Saturday was more than 31 seconds faster than his time at the Liberty Regional seven days prior. He was 17th out of 92 runners in 17:36 Saturday, Oct. 26, in Liberty. Clements shaved more than 24 seconds off her previous time of 21:59.6 which placed her 26th of 69 competitors at the Liberty Regional.

“I’m really proud of those two and all the other runners this season for pushing each other every single day,” Singler said.

While new to cross country this season, Mefford and Clements were two of Pittsfield’s better 800-meter runners in track entering the year. Transitioning from half-mile to three-

mile races was a challenge at first, but the duo found their footing as the Saukees progressed through their cross country schedule.

“They started off a little slow at the beginning of the season, but then towards the end they figured out their pace and put together some good races,” Singler said. “Because of their track speed, some of the other runners can’t keep up towards the end of the race.

That’s how they run their 800-meter races.”

The coach expects Mefford to benefit from this year’s trip to the sectional race during his senior season with the Saukees in 2014 and hopes to see more runners advancing through the postseason next year.

“We had a lot of first-year cross country runners this year. Towards the end of the season, everybody was getting faster and peaking at the right time,” Singler said. “It seems like it should be another good team and hopefully next year it’ll be more than just individuals and we’ll have more team placings.”

Local schools receive less state educational aid

By Scott Reeder and Jackson Adams Illinois News Network Chicago-area public schools are collecting a disproportionate amount of state educational aid at the expense of students studying in downstate schools.

That conclusion was reached this month in two separate and independent investigations conducted by the Illinois State Board of Education and the Illinois Policy Institute.

“People should be concerned because it is an issue of fairness and equity,” said state Sen. Pam Altoff, R-McHenry. “What this is telling me is that children with developmental disabilities and special needs in Chicago are receiving more money than my students in suburban Chicagoland or down-

state Illinois.”

Back in 1995, Illinois lawmakers passed legislation that guaranteed Chicago Public Schools, or CPS, a certain percentage of state funds from block grants funding programs such as special education.

In 1995, the percentage was based on the proportion of Illinois students attending CPS. However, CPS enrollment has dropped during the last 18 years, while the proportion of funding it receives has remained at the 1995 level, according to Mary Fergus, a spokeswoman for the Illinois State Board of Education.

Consequently, Chicago students are getting more state funding per pupil than their counterparts elsewhere in the state.

According to the Illinois Policy Institute’s report, Chicago received $811 per pupil in property tax

subsidies while downstate districts received an average of $25 per student.

In the area of poverty grant funds, Chicago received $2,513 per impoverished student – downstate only $1,343.

For some, this is nonsensical.

“What are they trying to say— kids from Chicago with disabilities from Chicago need more than those from the suburbs or downstate? This is not about poverty or socioeconomic conditions. This is about an individual disability,” Altoff said.

The funding gap can be seen in overall school district spending per student. According to the Illinois State Board of Education’s report, school districts outside of Chicago spent an average of $7,541 per pupil in 2012 while Chicago spent $10,410.

Altoff said most lawmakers are unaware of the disparity in funding between Chicago schools and the rest of the state.

“Most legislators are focused on general state aid to schools and local property taxes,” she said.

“Few people are getting down into the weeds and looking at the whole picture – including block grants.”

One of the few people who has studied the issue is state Sen. David Luechtefeld, R-Okawville.

“Right now, it looks like schools are going to face some cuts, so it’s important that we take a close look at this issue and see who may be getting more than their fair share ,” he said. “After we have looked at these numbers we may come up some recommendations. It important that students all across the state receive adequate funding.”

State Rep. Ken Dunkin,

D-Chicago, said he is not particularly bothered that more money is spent per student in Chicago than elsewhere in the state because Chicagoans pay much of the state’s taxes.

“We want to shift the way we fund education, and that should be based solely off the income tax distribution in the state,” he said.

“Right now it’s inherently unfair.”

Dunkin said school districts outside of Chicago are getting too much money.

Others see an underlying problem in the way public schools are funded.

“School funding should be changed totally,” said Dave McDermott, CFO of Moline School District. “In Illinois it matters where you live for the quality of your education. The General Assembly has known this for 50

years and doesn’t do anything about it.”

State Rep. Joe Sosnowski, R-Rockford, said a solution to this problem is to have the money follow the student rather than be allocated directly to school districts.

He said there is no need for special “block grants” that pit various parts of the state against one another for limited funds. Instead of having government allocate funds to school districts, it should be given in the form of vouchers to parents for them to decide on what school can best serve their children’s needs, he said.

“Parents should be able to choose where their students attend.

And this could create some healthy competition between public school and perhaps private schools for students,” Sosnowski said.
