Winter weather creates dangerous road conditions By DAVID CAMPHOUSE Pike Press Winter precipitation over the weekend and into Monday left Pike County roadways slippery and difficult to navigate. Pike County emergency crews reported many calls for assistance during the winter weather event, including a call midday Monday, Feb. 8 of a vehicle that slid off of Interstate 72 in the Ray Norbut State Fish and Wildlife Area on the Pike County side of the Twin Eagles Bridge. “It looked like they just hit a slick spot,” Griggsville Fire Department Captain Hayden Bradshaw said. “It appeared the bridge was slick, and they lost control.” Illinois State Police, who also responded to the accident, have not reported any resulting injuries from the incident. According to Bradshaw, the single vehicle crash Monday has not been an isolated incident during the most recent bout of winter weather. “We’ve had several calls since Saturday,” Bradshaw said. Thankfully, according to Bradshaw, most incidents the department has responded to have not involved serious injuries.

“It’s mostly just been people finding slick spots and sliding off the road,” Bradshaw said. “For the most part, they haven’t been too serious, but the ambulance has had to transport a couple of them. Mostly people were just shaken up.” Bradshaw cautioned motorists to be vigilant during winter weather events, particularly when temperatures fall far below freezing. “Slow down,” Bradshaw said. “Watch your bridges. Bridges freeze first.” In addition, Bradshaw said, safety measures taken by the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) are less effective during extreme cold. “As cold as it is, the salt they’re spreading isn’t working like it normally does,” Bradshaw said. Bradshaw also said it wasn’t enough to merely monitor your own speed on the road. “Be aware of the traffic around you,” Bradshaw said. The Illinois Emergency Management Agency (IEMA) encourages residents to stay off of roads during winter weather events whenever possible. IEMA reports that snowy or ice-coated roads and reduced visibility due to fog or blowing snow results in thousands of motor vehicle crashes

McCann faces allegations of fiscal wrong-doing By BETH ZUMWALT Pike Press

W

illiam Samuel ‘Sam’ McCann, who served as senator to the 49th District from 2011 to 2013 and the redistricted 50th District from 2013-2019, has been indicted by a grand jury. Both districts included Pike County. He faces charges of fraud, money laundering and tax evasion related to misuse of campaign funds for personal use. “I wasn’t surprised,” Republican Chairman of Pike County John Birch said. “I’d heard in Springfield

he was under investigation.” Birch said he felt sorry for McCann and his situation. The 18-page indictment alleges McCann received more than $5 million from 2011 to 2018, when McCann formed his own political party and ran as a third candidate in the Illinois Governor’s race. One of the allegations in the indictment is that he diverted funds donated to him as a Republican Senatorial candidate to his Conservative Party. Another part of the indictment alleges McCan purchased vehicles, which he titled in his own name but later used funds from his campaign to make payments and pay insurance on. He also made mileage payments to himself, which was not allowed. (See, MCCANN, A2)

One of the largest waterfowl migration routes in North America, the Mississippi River valley is currently home to huge flocks of Canada Geese, Snow Geese and Trumpeter Swans. Vast groups of the waterfowl, like this one at the Gardner Camp in the Hull bottoms, can be seen along the Mississippi River in Pike County.

By DAVID CAMPHOUSE Pike Press Vast flocks of Canada Geese, Snow Geese, White-fronted Geese and Trumpeter Swans can currently be found along the Mississippi and Illinois rivers in Pike County. According to Illinois Department of Natural Resources (IDNR) Conservation Police Game Warden William Wichern populations of certain waterfowl species – including the largest American waterfowl, the Trumpeter Swan – have grown dramatically over the course of his twenty year career with IDNR. “We counted 700 Trumpeter Swans in 2000, and we counted 3,000 last year,” Wichern said. “That’s a pretty good jump.” According to Pike County IDNR Regional Wildlife Biologist Tim Krumwiede, the population growth of migratory waterfowl can largely be attributed to habitat restoration efforts along Midwestern rivers and reintroduction efforts upstream.

“They’re doing exceptionally well,” Krumwiede said. “The Trumpeter Swans we are seeing are a result of reintroduction efforts in Wisconsin.” IDNR State Waterfowl Specialist Randy Smith said Trumpeter Swans were entirely or nearly eliminated from Illinois prior to reintroduction efforts in the upper Midwest. “They were nearly extirpated,” Smith said. “The population has really responded to reintroduction efforts and habitat restoration along the rivers. The population in Illinois is up hundreds of percents.” The swans’ growing population, which is still protected against hunters, has resulted in increasing accidental shootings. “We had a hunter accidentally shoot a swan over in Pike County about four weeks ago,” Wichern said. “That’s bound to happen. He turned himself in and paid his fine.” Krumwiede said swans are also particularly prone to injury from flying into power lines. (See, WATERFOWL, A2)

every year in Illinois. According to IEMA, many crashes can be eliminated by slowing down on city streets, rural roads and highways. Recent traffic studies, IEMA reports, have shown that many times, minor accumulations of snow or ice on roads can be just as dangerous for motorists as major snowstorms. Motorists, if they must travel during a storm, are directed by IEMA to check road conditions before leaving their home by visiting www.

GettingAroundIllinois.com. In addition, as more police, fire and ambulance crews respond to winter-related accidents, motorists are reminded to observe “Scott’s Law,” which requires drivers to yield to first responders on roadways. Scott’s Law was named after Lieutenant Scott Gillen of the Chicago Fire Department who was struck and killed by an intoxicated driver while assisting at a crash on the Dan Ryan Expressway in Cook County.

Spring calving season underway in Pike County By DAVID CAMPHOUSE Pike Press Spring calves can be seen at many Pike County farms, including Thomas Farms south of Pittsfield. According to Jason Thomas, the farm currently has 65 calves on the ground, including two sets of twins. Calving at Thomas farms has been underway since the first of the year. “We started Jan. 1 and just have three or four left,” Thomas said. According to Thomas, while many cattle producers have turned to artificial insemination and synchronizing their herd’s breeding, they still breed their cattle the oldfashioned way. Despite their breeding practices, Thomas said the calving has gone well. “It’s a two-and-a-half-month window,” Thomas said. “That’s pretty tight for all natural.” Thomas said that the beef industry, like the rest of the livestock industry, was negatively affected by COVID-19 packing plant shutdowns near the beginning of the pandemic. “Last spring affected prices some,” Thomas said. “When we did sell, prices were worse probably 10 to 15 percent.” According to Thomas, the market has largely rebounded since last spring. As far as consumer prices are concerned, Thomas anticipates beef prices to be on the rise due to input costs for farmers. “I foresee prices going up in the grocery store, because of corn prices,” Thomas said. Jeremy Thomas, Jason’s brother, said that the farm, which has turned more to grain production in recent years, has benefitted from rising corn prices. The rise in corn prices, Thomas said however, are accompanied by rising input costs. “When grain prices go up, so do inputs,” Thomas said. “It’s a double-edged sword. When grain prices go back down, inputs will stay high for us.” While raising cattle is undeniably labor intensive, Thomas Farms have turned to some technological advancements to make their operation easier to handle. “We have cameras set up to monitor the calving shed,” Jason Thomas said. “We can pull it up at home on the computer or television. It can save a trip and putting on the boots and overalls.” According to Jeremy Thomas, extended family can access the video feed of the calves, too. “Even our sister in Reno, Nev. can pull it up and let us know if something is going on,” Thomas said.

JWCC students learn beef skills hands-on By DAVID CAMPHOUSE Pike Press According to John Wood Community College (JWCC) Animal Science instructor Justin Lewis, at the core of the college’s animal science program is real world learning. “We try and do a lot of hands-on stuff,” Lewis said. “There’s not a lot of schools where you get to stay overnight with calves when you’re studying animal science.” JWCC animal science student Julie Brinker said that the hands on aspect of JWCC’s program is very valuable. “When we stay with the calves, we learn how to properly give shots,” Brinker said. “We make sure they’re nursing. We weigh them, tag them and make sure they can stand.” Students learn about beef production at Perry’s University of Illinois Orr Beef Research Center, which is adjacent to the JWCC Ag Center. University of Illinois research and extension staff teach and assist with JWCC animal science classes. Students take turns staying overnight at the facility and are responsible for caring for calves. “You learn a lot more when you have to do it yourself,” Brinker said. “You have to learn how to do it because you’re out there by yourself.” Brinker works at a Land ‘O Lakes/Purina research dairy farm in Grays Summit, Mo.

Anonymous donors support city projects McCann

By BETH ZUMWALT Pike Press An anonymous donor has donated $7,000 toward the purchase of body cameras for the Pittsfield Police Department. The announcement was made at the Tuesday, Feb. 2 meeting of the Pittsfield City Council. A law requiring all police officers to wear body cameras was included in the Illinois Criminal Justice Reform bill passed earlier this year. The larger agencies must have body cameras by 2022. All agencies, including the smallest agencies must have the units by 2025. Pittsfield Police Chief Mike Starman said he hopes to have his department equipped with the cameras in the next

60 days. Another anonymous donor has offered to buy mats for the areas underneath the swings in city parks. The park board has been asked to contact the benefactor and make arrangements. After several weeks of research, the city has finally added a communication station to the list of special uses allowed by the city. It is expected an entity wishing to place a communication station in the city limits will be making an application soon. Alderman Kevin Ketchum advised the council that trout days at King Park are scheduled for the first week of April and plans are underway for the event, which was cancelled last year due to COVID concerns.

The city has received $11,500 from a CARES grant from the state to help with expenses incurred during the pandemic. The money will be spent to allow council meetings to be held virtually instead of just by conference call. Also purchased were two laptops for workers who are forced to work from home. The council also approved the request of Darryl and Marsha Kelly to have a third outbuilding on their property on West Adams. Only two outbuildings are allowed unless special permission is obtained from the council. City Engineer Max Middendorf attended the meeting and introduced a new engineer in the Mecco office. Kevin Garrett will join Middendorf in the Pittsfield office.

Griggsville commences fix or flatten proceedings, plans for water meter modernization By DAVID CAMPHOUSE Pike Press Griggsville’s city council, on Wednesday, Feb. 3, approved starting the fix or flatten process on a residential property at 108 W. Webster Street. According to Griggsville Mayor Kent Goewey, the city is following state-mandated guidelines relating to fix or flatten properties “It’s got to go through the council,� Goewey said. “The council approved starting the process.� The next step in the fix or flatten procedure is that the city will send the property owner a letter of its intention to demolish the structure if the property owner does not fix it to local code. Goewey said firm parameters dictate the timeline surrounding the fix or flatten process. “Once they receive the letter, they have two weeks to respond,� Goewey said. “That puts them under the gun. They’ve got a certain amount of time to get it taken care of. It’s a sixty-day deal.� Goewey added that more properties were being looked at by the city government for the fix or flatten program. “There’s a couple more to put on the

list,� Goewey said. “They’re all residential.� Griggsville’s council also voted to begin updating the community’s water meters to make them easier to read and easier to detect issues within the city’s water system. Goewey said the water meter updating would be a phased process. “We’re going to begin updating with the next phase of the waterline project,� Goewey said. “I’m not in favor of the city going three or four million in debt. I’d rather take baby steps replacing them.� Goewey said updating the meters would make them more user friendly for city workers and residents. “You can push a button and all the billing information comes to the computer at city hall,� Goewey said. “They can also detect leaks. It can actually tell you any time the water is running.� Rather than replacing the whole water meter, the vendor most attractive to the city would allow a radio transmitting head to be mounted on existing meters, saving labor and material costs. “That’s what kind of sold us on it,� Goewey said. “We can use the meters we have.� City Clerk Linda Brawdy reported she was in the process of sending out notices

to property owners in the community, who needed to clean up their properties or risk receiving code violation tickets. “I’m sending out three letters, telling property owners to clean up junk and debris,� Brawdy said. “We’re trying to get things cleaned up.� The council did not approve the minutes from the January council meeting, as the minutes regarding the transfer of property at Griggsville’s water plant need to be corrected. The property the water plant sits on belongs to the Lighthouse Church, and is leased by the city on a 100 year lease, of which 35 years remain. To satisfy Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) setback stipulations, Griggsville has agreed to purchase ground farmed by Jeff and Ron Hayden for $10,000. “Right now the water tank sets about three feet from the property line,� Goewey said. “We purchased enough property to satisfy EPA’s 50 foot setback that allows the Haydens’ farm equipment to turn around.� The council also approved the paying of bills and treasurer’s report from the last month.

Waterfowl (Continued from A1) While residents may be curious about the pure white waterfowl, Wichern encouraged caution around the large and sometimes aggressive birds. “Sometimes we have had to move swans injured by a run-in with a car, and I’ve caught a wing to the face before,� Wichern said. “If I had to choose between tangling with a swan and a raccoon, I’d pick the coon.� Trumpeter Swans are commonly four feet tall, with a seven-foot wingspan. Adults are frequently up to 30 pounds. Trumpeter Swans can be seen in large numbers in Pike County between December and February. While in their winter range, they can oftentimes be seen foraging in farm fields for food. Another common (mostly) white winter visitor to the Illinois and Mississippi valleys is the Snow Goose. According to Wichern, Snow Geese are protected by very loose hunting regulations, in order to control their populations. Wichern said that feeding snow geese causes tremendous damage to tundra grasses by tearing the plants up, roots and all. “It’s very liberal,� Wichern said. “In fact, come Feb. 1 there’s no limit on Snow Geese until the end of the season Apr. 15.� Smith said that the loose hunting regulations were the result of a federal conservation order. “It’s from a special conservation order, which is an act of Congress,� Smith said. “They were creating a negative impact on the arctic ecosystem where they breed.� Smith went on to say that Snow Geese could be hunted using electronic calls to attract the birds, and he said that hunters put up elaborate decoy arrays along the river bottoms to attract the birds. “A lot of folks use the season to fill the

(Continued from A1) In March, 2018, McCann purchased a motorhome and gave a $10,000 deposit from his campaign account. The transaction was not finalized, and McCann instructed the business to issue a refund check to him personally, which he deposited in his personal checking account. He then used $18,000 in campaign funds to purchase a recreational travel trailer and motorhome and established an online account with an RV business in Ohio, listing the units for rent using the name Sam McCann. He then established a second online account with the same RV rental business and identified himself as William McCann, a potential renter with a residence and e-mail address different than the fist account. From approximately May 2018 to June 2018, McCann, while representing himself as William, rented both the campaign-purchased travel trailer and motorhome from himself (Sam), the owner, through the RV rental business. In so doing, McCann, as the purported renter, caused a total of approximately $62,666.70 in funds from his campaign accounts to be used for rental payments to the RV rental business, which, after retaining commission expenses of approximately $9,838.90, then paid himself as the identified owner, approximately $52,827.80 in rental fees. The payments went to his personal checking account. He did reimburse the campaign the original $18,000. A number of other allegations charge misuse of campaign funds for personal debt and book-keeping, campaign finance and tax reporting laws being broken. Once McCann has been served with the indictment, he will be issued a summons. Because of COVID-19, federal court appearances are being held via telephone. McCann’s arraignment will be Feb. 16 at 2 p.m. at which time a trail date should be set.

Pike GOP not joining anti-Kinzinger movement By BETH ZUMWALT Pike Press At least 35 Republican county chairmen from downstate Illinois have signed a letter condemning Adam Kizinger, a Republican Congressman from the 16th district. Kizinger was one of 11 Republicans who voted to strip Marjorie Taylor Greene, a Georgia Republican Representative, of her committee assignments. Greene was accused of supporting false conspiracies and violence. She was stripped of her committee assignments but remains in the U.S. House. Kinzinger also voted ‘Yea’ on the second impeachment of Donald J. Trump. Pike County Republican Chairman John Birch said he was asked to sign the petition, but did not sign it. “I just thought it best not to sign it,� Birch said. Greene County is the closest county to Pike that had signed the letter of condemnation as of Saturday. Meanwhile Birch is pleased that Don Tracy, a Springfield businessman and attorney, was elected to fill out the term of State Chairman of the Republican Party for Illinois. Tracy was elected Saturday. “I think having a downstate chairman will be beneficial for us,� Birch said. “I hope he will consider moving the Republican headquarters back to Springfield.� Tracy becomes the first chairman from downstate since Donald “Doc� Adams of Springfield who served from 1973 to 1988. He is affiliated with the Tracy family that owns DOT Foods in Mt. Sterling.

dead months of winter,� Smith said. “Folks are absolutely eating them. It’s a way to fill the freezer.� Pelicans, which were once very uncommon in Illinois, can now be routinely found during fall and spring migrations according to Smith. “They used to be very rare,� Smith said. “They’ve become pretty common on most larger bodies of water in the state.� Smith said pelicans begin their southern migration as early as August and begin heading north between March and May. Krumwiede attributed the emergence of pelicans in Illinois to the flooding of 1993. “They found a great deal of shallow water habitat at that time,� Krumwiede said. “Waterfowl are very habit driven. If a location worked out for them in the past, they are very likely to return every year.� Of course, the Canada Goose, more common to most Midwesterners, can also be seen in staggering numbers this time of year along the Pike County stretch of

Thereafter, he attended Griggsville schools, graduating from Griggsville High School in 1953. During his school years, he actively participated and lettered in baseball, basketball, and track; with baseball always being his favorite sport. He was the pitcher for his team. His desire was so great to participate in competitive sports he was willing to walk the four miles home following school practice and after each game whether it was at Griggsville or away, regardless of the weather. Sometimes he was able to catch a ride with neighbors. While in high school he played semi-pro baseball for the Nite Hawks which traveled through Illinois, Missouri, and Iowa. Following high school, he signed with the St. Louis Brown’s minor baseball team as a pitcher. However, due to an injury to his pitching elbow, he was not able to pursue his baseball career. Entering military service shortly after his marriage, Floyd was shipped to Japan for his tour of duty. He was soon selected for special service of playing baseball to entertain the troops who were stationed there at that time. Floyd worked over 40 years as an Operating Engineer in road construction and was a member of the International Union of Operating Engineers Local 965. Dur-

He loved hunting, especially deer and enjoyed remodeling his house and teaching his sons the trade. Each year he held a family reunion on the 4th of July where he cooked fish for all of his family and friends. David was stubborn but ornery and was at his best

when he was with his family or outside with nature. He is survived by two sons, David (Michelle) Coultas, Jr. of Hull, IL and Austin Coultas of Quincy, IL; two grandchildren, Max Flowers and Milee Flowers; two brothers, Michael (Theresa) Coultas of Colona, IL and Joseph Burnett of Missouri; and four sisters, Rhonda (Kevin) Watkins of Texas, Connie (Johnnie) Meyers of Hull, IL Nancy (John) Ferrell of Barry, IL and Melissa Bradshaw of Hull, IL. He was preceded in death by his mother and stepfather, Shirley and Edward Burnett; father, Roy Coultas; two brothers, Daniel Burnett, Timothy Burnett and a brother in infancy. Services will be held at a later date and cremation rites have been accorded. Memorials are suggested to be made to the Hull-Kinderhook Fire Department. Online condolences may be left to the family at www.nieburfh.com. Niebur Funeral Chapel is handling the arrangements.

PICKINGS FROM PIKE’S PAST 100 YEARS AGO: SPRING WEATHER IN FEBRUARY

150 Years Ago Feb. 16, 1871 James H. Wheeling, the prince of all the auctioneers, will sell on Saturday, March 11, in the town of Pleasant Hill, a large number of lots of Cannon’s addition to that place. The lots are near the railroad, and are a fine location for business places. A Griggsville resident reports, “We have had a pleasant winter here, and the citizens have had a feast of fat things during the winter, sleighing, skating, festivals, the varieties, sociables, religious meetings, and in fact nothing has been left undone that would add to the happiness of our people. The pork season is over, and the packing house of S. C. Hoyt has packed 2400 hogs, averaging 267 pounds net.� Richard Wade, collector for Flint Township, settled on the 10th with the county treasurer in full for the taxes of the year 1870.

125 Years Ago Feb. 12, 1896 Last Sunday was Dr. Thomas W. Shastid’s 40th anniversary of the practice of his profession in Pittsfield. He celebrated by giving a big family dinner. One can form an opinion of how bad the roads were last Saturday by the fact that at 2 o’clock in the afternoon there were hitched around the square 96 saddle horses and only 34 vehicles. The teachers’ institute at Summer Hill was rather dull. Owing to the roads being so muddy and bad, not many could get there. There has been no cold to amount to anything, and deep mud, with occasional freezing on top, has brought business to a dead standstill. The debating societies of Pittsfield High School are exciting much interest and the scholars are taking a lively and

studious interest in getting up the debates. The singing class organized at El Dara consists of over 20 members, and they meet twice a week.

100 Years Ago Feb. 16, 1921 Fine weather has brought the start of all kinds of outdoor work. Hyacinths are blooming, early vegetables have already been planted, and people are going about with as few wraps as they wear in the good old summertime. Old time fishermen predict a fine time for fishing this year, because there has been so little ice on the rivers. Anyone wishing to keep boarders or roomers during the basketball tournament is asked to notify the superintendent of schools. Zimmerman Brothers has received an iron gasoline tank so large they are having a hard time deciding where to put it. It is 25 feet long, and eight feet high, and will hold 12,000 gallons of gasoline. The Pittsfield Methodist Church in planning a $35,000 addition to their building to keep up with growth in Sunday School and church. 75 Years Ago Feb. 13, 1946 Charles R. Seybold has purchased the Cannon Ice Cream Bar from Lloyd Perryman. He plans to have it open for business by Feb. 16. Seybold recently returned home after serving in the Army Air Corps from December 22, 1941 to Dec. 13, 1945. He will be assisted in the business by his wife. The sanctuary of the First Methodist Church has recently been completely redecorated. Attorney Paul F. Grote has announced that he is a candidate for county judge, subject

Early Pike Countians prioritized education The pioneers who came to Pike County found themselves responsible for providing an education for their children. Here are some of the first schools and first teachers in the various townships. Atlas - taught by John Jay Ross around 1823. Hardin - taught by Jesse Garrison in 1833. Barry - Deacon Mason taught at the Methodist Church in 1838. Chambersburg - John Lyster used a log cabin in1830. New Salem - school built in 1834 and was used for a church. Fairmount - Henry Benson used a log schoolhouse built in 1840. Pleasant Hill - William Howell used an abandoned cabin from 1828, until a school was built in 1832. Martinsburg - taught by Mr. Morrow in 1827. Derry - first schoolhouse erected in 1837. Newburg - Daniel Foster taught in first school in 1835. Detroit - Abraham Jones taught in 1827 when the first

schoolhouse was built. Montezuma - Abraham Jones also taught the first school built in 1831. Perry - John Cavander in 1830. Griggsville - John Cavander also taught, using a log cabin from 1831, until the first school was built in 1833. Hadley - James Frier taught in 1836. Kinderhook - Henry J. Oney taught in 1833, also used for church. Pleasant Vale - in 1825 with Mr. Rankin as the teacher. Pearl - the first school was built in 1837. Pittsfield - Mrs. Nancy M. Heath taught a subscription school, beginning in 1834. Spring Creek - called Spring Creek School and was also used for church. Flint - taught by volunteers, beginning in 1840. These schools were a tribute to the determination of the pioneers. They realized the value of an education, and they were willing to do what it took to make it happen.

to the decision of the Democratic primary in April. He has been serving in the Navy since 1943. West Park Baptist Church in St. Louis was the scene of a pretty wedding Sunday afternoon, Jan. 27, when Miss Dora Atherton became the bride of Kermit Couch in a double ring ceremony. Mr. Couch is a 1941 graduate of Pittsfield High School, and Mrs. Couch is a 1941 graduate of Pearl High School. Earl C. Smith, retired president of the Illinois Agricultural Association, says, “Communism makes greatest headway amidst confusion, and these are confused times in these United States.�

50 Years Ago Feb. 17, 1971 Two separate and unrelated auto accidents caused the death of three young Pike Countians. Miki Irving, age 22, was killed on route 16 near Windsor in Shelby County. Robert W. (Buck) Browning, 23, and Bingham B. Lowe, 24, were killed on highway 107 a short distance north of Perry. That makes the county auto fatality total to eight for the short period of the new year, compared to last year’s county total of five. Eight girls, including Susan Moyers of Pleasant Hill High School, were honored last week as “Good Citizens� of their respective schools. The D.A.R. gave the girls a tea at the Congregational Church. Mr. and Mrs. Warren Buchanan of Griggsville have announced the engagement of their daughter, Lynn, to Kim Curry, son of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Curry, also of Griggsville. A summer wedding is being planned. The Saukees are struggling in basketball this winter, with a 6-12 record, which is the poor-

est since the 1963-64 season. This will be only the third time since 1960 that a PHS team has failed to win over half of its games. 25 Years Ago Feb. 14, 1996 The Pike County Board is beginning to take the first steps to rescue the ambulance system, which is suffering from a shortage of EMTs. The generosity of the late Helen Harman may be the perfect opportunity for Pleasant Hill residents to preserve some of their town’s heritage. Mayor Bobby Jones says Pleasant Hill is having meetings to consider establishing a museum on the Harman house. Hundreds took advantage of the spring-like weather Feb. 8, and headed for the fresh fish meal, served at the Pike County Implement Co. in Milton in celebration of John Deere Day. 10 Years Ago Feb. 16, 2011 Joe Springer, of Pleasant Hill, serves as a producer for “The Wereth Eleven,� which will air on PBS TV Feb. 16. Springer has written extensively about World War II history. The Pike County Farm Bureau has elected David Gay as its new president, succeeding Terry Rush. Also elected were Kim Curry, vice president; Jeremy Thomas, secretary; Brady Borrowman, treasurer; and Brandon Gerard, assistant secretary. Retired Marine Corps Lt. Colonel Craig Rush will be the speaker for the Pike County Historical Society Thursday Feb. 24 in the west room of the Cardinal Inn. Beginning in 2003, Rush became one of the very few Marine pilots who are given the prestigious position of flying “Marine 1� for the U. S. President. Q Compiled by Michael Boren

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR TO THE EDITOR: I mailed a letter this week to the Presidents of Kohl’s and Bed Bath and Beyond expressing my disappointment regarding their decision to no longer offer My Pillow products. Their decision was made because of comments of My Pillow owner Mike Lindell on Twitter. I stated that companies appear to base their product and advertising decisions to please one particular segment of our society. Have they lost sight of the millions of people who shop in their stores who might not share those particular positions? Why do they put “virtue signalling� and “wokeness� above the entire population of their shoppers?

This past year has been difficult enough for retail companies to survive without alienating perhaps more than half their customers. I suggested they and their board members might want to re-think their decisions. Political correctness is not a positive action, especially when you want customers of varying beliefs to purchase your merchandise. Perhaps we as consumers need to pay more attention to how retail stores run their companies. It won’t hurt us to shop less (or not at all) at those stores. Stores who stay silent on political matters and concentrate on their customers deserve our support. BARBARA FOSCO Pittsfield, ILL.
