The weather was nearly perfect Saturday for the second annual Dad’s and Kids Fishing Tournament hosted by the Pittsfield First Baptist Church. “It is a little windy, making the water a little rough,” Richard Kirk, who was fishing with three children, said. “We moved over to this side hoping to get out of the wind a little.” Joe Lynch, who was fishing with his three children and Levi Borrowman, agreed the water could have been more still but said his group still managed to catch a fair number of croppy. The event was started last year by Pittsfield First Baptist Church and cosponsored by Longbeard Taxidermy and Neal Tire to encourage dads (and moms) to spend quality time with their children.

“Sometimes guys don’t know how to connect to their kids,” Pastor Mike Pierce, said. “We want to challenge guys to combine two things they love – their families and the outdoors – and make a memory that their kids will carry with them forever.” Saturday was just that as more than 190 fathers, mothers and kids competed for prizes, making the tournament twice as big as last years’ event. The teams fished for bass, bluegill and crappie from boats and the bank. The event started at 5:30 a.m. with registration near the south campgrounds. At 11:30 a.m., teams came back to South Park Pavilion, weighed in, and then enjoyed a free lunch of hamburgers and hot dogs. While the standings were calculated, Dean Corgiat of the Illinois Department of Natural Resources talked about the species in

Pittsfield Lake, how to identify them, and how to catch them. After lunch, prizes were awarded. A free fish mount for the largest fish in each age group was presented by Longbeard Taxidermy. Josey Ward from Pittsfield reeled in the heaviest fish for kids under 8. Scotty Seman, from rural Pittsfield, hooked the biggest fish for kids 8-12 and Tim Myers of New Salem landed the largest fish of the day and in the 13-17 age class. The winners of prizes for most team weight were: first, Billy and Cole Walston of Pittsfield; second, Daniel Walston and Bailey Meighan of Pittsfield; third, Scott and Scotty Seman of rural Pittsfield; fourth, Jimbo Halliday and Camo George; and fifth, Mike and Shiloh Lemons of Pittsfield. Prizes and door prizes were donated by Longbeard Taxidermy, Neal Tire,

Scheels, Harpole’s Heartland Lodge, Pike County Archery, Giani’s Pizza, Illini Fitness, Maya Restaurant, Save-a-Lot, Geared Up!, Horton’s Video, Bowler’s Universe, Courtyard Café, McDonalds, Reel Net & Twine, Donohoo’s Barber Shop, King Pool, Cardinal Inn, First National Bank of Barry, and County Market. The event was a huge success, and Pittsfield First plans to do it again next year. For more information about the tournament, contact Pittsfield First at 217285-2426 or www.pittsfieldfirst.com. “Pittsfield Lake is such a great place, and we want dads to leverage it to develop relationships with their kids,” Pierce said. Pierce gave each dad an empty magnetic picture frame and challenged them to fill it with a photo of them making a memory with their children.

STAFF REPORT Pike Press Thursday evening, June 12, in a special session that lasted only 25 minutes, the Pike County Board voted to name Matt Goetten of Greene County as State’s Attorney until the November election. The appointment was necessary because of the resignation June 2 of State’s Attorney Carrie Boyd. The Democrat Central Committee had given Chairman Andy Borrowman the names of Goetten and Brett Irving to be named to the vacant position, which had to be filled by a Democrat, since that was the party of the previously elected office holder. Borrowman asked each man to make a brief statement to the board concerning his background, experience, training and availability to take over the office. Both men have previously serves as State’s Attorney—Goetten for eight years in Greene County and Irving for 12 years in Pike County. Few questions were asked by board members. Borrowman asked that Irving be considered first, and Michael Boren nominated him to be named State’s Attorney.

“I love Pike County,” Boren said, as he rose to explain his rollcall vote. “I love this courthouse and I love Pike Countians. If these are sins, then I am guilty of all three. The Democrats have given us the names of two men to fill the vacancy—one from Pike County and one from Greene County. I support the man from Pike County—I vote yes for Brett Irving.” Harry Wright and Fred Bradshaw joined Boren in voting for Irving, while Cleve Curry, Dr. Dan Mefford, Justin Noble, Jim Sheppard and Tami Webel voted No, so the motion failed 5-3. Wright then nominated Goetten, and he was named State’s Attorney on a 6-2 vote, with Boren and Bradshaw voting No. Chairman Borrowman only votes in the case of a tie. After the voting was over, board member Jim Sheppard concluded with a statement about the appointment of Matt Goetten: “A lot of ink has been spilled and it’s good we can just put this whole thing to rest. Having chosen Goetten, with no history of Pike County, we can hopefully move forward with a clean slate and repair the damage and reputation of this county.”

Rescue help is closer By beth zumwalt Pike Press Help for a farm worker trapped in a grain bin is a little closer for those living on the west side of the county. New grain bin rescue equipment was donated to the Barry Fire Department last week. Prior to the donation, the Pittsfield Fire Department was the only local department with such equipment. “We had been talking about trying to get one,” Chris Little, Barry Fire Chief, said. “We are

very appreciative of this and will start training on using it soon.” The Pittsfield Rotary Club, along with JBS United, Dawson Dean and Birch Farms, raised the money to purchase the grain bin tube and the harnesses and ropes needed to use the tube. Total cost was $5,500. “We were able to get a $2,000 grant from Rotary District 6460,” Bill Durall, Rotary past president, said. “We also raffled off a beef and got those donations.” (See RESCUE, A2)

By JEANETTE WALLACE Pike Press The Barry Food Pantry had its roof replaced free of charge by Full Service Roofing of Quincy Wednesday, June 11. “Its crew donated their time and Woodmart got their suppliers to donate the wood,” Lillian Bowen, director of the food pantry, said. When the Barry Food Pantry advertised its intent to hold fundraisers in order to replace the building’s roof, workers at Full Service Roofing saw the advertisements and decided it was a project they’d like to take on. “We like giving back to the community and this is completely nonprofit,” Will Denish, project manager at Full Service Roofing, said. The roofing company began doing one or two projects every year for free a few years ago to give back to the community. “They’re for a good cause,” Denish said. “We’re

helping people help other people.” To say thank you to the roofers, volunteers at the food pantry, including Bowen, Richard Baker, Sharon Burgdorff, Elaine Shover and other members of the community, made them lunch. The Barry Food Pantry, located at 603 Decatur St. in Barry, is an organization that doesn’t get any funding from the government. All its funding comes from donations from churches and the public, and from grants. The pantry is open Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 9 a.m.-1 p.m. and the third and fourth saturday of each month from 9 a.m.-12 p.m. It’s available to anyone in need of extra food. It provides frozen goods, non-perishable food, supplements and other household needs such as clothing. “It’s wonderful to see how people try to help other people,” Bowen said. “It’s a blessing.”

Pittsfield City Police Chief Kenny Yelliott watches while city worker Tom Reinhardt installs the speed monitor sign on a pole at the north edge of town.

By beth zumwalt Pike Press Speeds being driven by motorists will be brought to their attention with the addtion of speed monitoring device purchased by the city of Pittsfield. “It’s not a traffic camera,” Kenny Yelliott, chief of police, said. “It is just to remind motorists to slow down and what the speed limit is.” While several areas have big signs on trailers, Pittsfield’s monitor will be attached to a pole. The device, which has been programmed by Shane Allen, Pittsfield city police officer, will provide the

police department with a variety of information. “It won’t tell us who was speeding,” Yelliott said. “But it will tell us the speeds of the cars going through that area and the time and date. We can identify problem areas and what times are the problem times.” A safety feature of the device is that it will not register more than 20 miles per hour over the speed limit. “That is done intentionally,” Yelliott said. “We don’t want kids out at night trying to see if they can max it out.” The monitor was paid for out of the video gaming money the city has been receiving from the video gaming machines.

coming to Pike By beth zumwalt Pike Press A public entity and a private business were among the recipients of $22.5 in loans and grants to promote rural economic development. The loans are from the USDA and are through Illinois Rural Electric Cooperative. The first loan, for $200,902 went to the Pike County Health Department for the renovation of the building at 606 W. Adams,

where the PCHD would like to relocate. Their current building at the corner of Jefferson and Madison, has numerous structural problems. “We were hoping to get the zero interest loan,” Anita Andress, administrator, said. “This will enable us to get started.” Andress said the estimates for the project have came in much higher than expected, according to Andress, meaning the plans may have to be scaled back.

(Continued from A1) Durall said the Rotary District 6460 stretches from the Monmouth area down to Alton and reaches from Springfield to the Mississippi River.

Loans

“They give grants every year,” Durall said. “Our local Rotary has not applied for a grant since 2009.” Durall said the group will continue to apply for the grants and hopes to buy

more grain bin rescue equipment in the future, so there will be a set in every corner of the county. “We had a lot of help,” Durall said. “R and K Beef donated the beef and

Kabricks processed it at cost. Fred Loos of Loos Farm Equipment in Payson sold us the tube at cost and Ed Knight of Knight Hawk Fire Equipment also sold us the ancillary equipment at cost.”

(Continued from A1) “We were going to build on addition on the north and the west side,” Andress said. “We may have to eliminate the north side.” The west side addition will house a conference/classroom area and administrative offices. If the plans can not be revised to include the north side addition, some office space will be elminated.

Andress said that while having to scale the project back is disappointing, there is a chance of additional grants or zero percent loans in the future. “Andwith the changing realm of health care, we may not need that space in three-five years,” Andress said. “With the competition for home health care being what it is, we worry about the viability of that program. Also with the changes in health care

our family management case numbers are shrinking as are our family planning caseload.” Andress said the health department will continue to monitor its needs and was to meet with the low-bid contractor late Tuesday afternoon to go over the plans and see what could be refined or adjusted to get the most for the dollar. Heartland Lodge received an

$833,600 loan from the same program. The loan will enable the lodge to build up to three cabins on the existing lodge property. “We are not sure what our plans are at this time, “ Gary Harpole said. “We have been approved for the loans but we will probably build one cabin, see how that works out and then if successful build more. The cabins will be mini versions of the lodge.”

Council losing patience with derelict properties For more than two years, the Pittsfield City Council has discussed neglected properties within in the city’s jurisdiction. At last night’s council meeting, the council decided to speed up the process of seeing them fixed or flattened. According to Bill Schiewe, alderman from ward four, the problem begins once the city becomes involved in a property. Mayor John Hayden agreed. “Once we get a court order, we can tear the property down, somebody comes in and wants to buy it and says they will fix it up,” Hayden said. “They want us to wait while they arrange for

financing and whatever.” That will no longer be the case. The council voted 8-0 that once the courts have given the city the approval to tear a property down; it will be torn down – no more reprieves. Currently, the city identifies a problem property. A letter is written to the property owner giving him a list of what needs to be repaired and giving the owner 30 days to either fix the property, make arrangements to have the property repaired as soon as possible or flatten the property. If no response is received, the matter is forwarded to Mike Hollahan, city attorney, who will

begin the legal process. The matter then proceeds to court where a judge decides if the property will be demolished. “Best case scenario is 90 days,” Tom Reinhardt, who serves as the city zoning administrator. Some properties have been in the system more than two years. The council agreed the process needed to be speeded up and voted not to wait on buyers once a property has been deemed ready for demolition by the court. Cindy Prentice, city clerk, said there are six or seven properties in the system at this time.

The council, also, voted to charge owners of properties who are not keeping them mowed $100 per hour for mowing, with a one-hour minimum plus a $150 fine. Kenny Yelliott, police chief, said 90 percent of the properties are in foreclosure and have been abandoned by their owners with banks or mortgage companies in far away places holding title to the property. “I called a place about one of them and a girl told me the mortgage was held by a bank in New York,” Yelliott said. “I told her I wanted the name of the president so I could send him a ticket.”

Sometimes we don’t appreciate what’s right under our nose.

Last week's poll results It’s the season for vacations. 1. I’ll take a long weekend and a short trip. 2. I’ll stay home and relax. 3. I’ll get as far away from home as possible.

In this case, what needs to be noticed and honored is on the very page you’re reading. It’s this week’s editorial cartoon by Pittsfield native Bill Beard. For the second year in a row, Beard has been honored by the Illinois Press Association is the state’s top cartoonist. In the IPA’s annual newspaper contest, all cartoonists in the state compete in one category without regard to size of newspaper. When Bill’s competing, it doesn’t matter. Following in third place this year was a cartoonist from the Chicago Sun-Times. The judge who selected Beard’s work commented on both its simplicity and its ability to communicate a message. That is the essence of editorial cartooning and that’s what Beard does exceptionally well. When we name the many attributes of our corner of the state, we often think of the beauty of the land and the friendliness of the people. We say the list should also include the wit, wisdom and artistry of Bill Beard. Congratulations, Bill! We are fortunate to enjoy your work every week and look forward to many more insights from you into what it means to live and work in Pike County.

Resurrection ecology revives ancient organism

he Michael Crichton book “Jurassic Park” and the movie based on the best-seller presented what might happen if scientists were able to clone extinct dinosaurs, bringing them back to life. While nothing like that is possible at this time -- a good thing when you recall the mayhem the dinos caused in the world Crichton conjured up -- sometimes scientists surprise themselves in breathing new life into old organisms. One example of some success in what’s sometimes called “resurrection ecology” comes from a small island that lies off Antarctica. The place is called Signy Island. It’s one of the South Orkney Islands. Signy experiences short summers (during our northern hemisphere winters), but long winters during much of the year characterize the place. The local environment is too harsh to support trees: instead,

the land is carpeted by thick beds of moss. Peter Convey, a scientist with the British Antarctic Survey, has worked on the island for some 25 years. He recently described the carpet of moss to The New York Times. “It’s just like a big, green, spongy expanse,” he said. But only the top layer of the moss is a growing mass of vegetation. The deeper layers don’t get sunlight, so they turn brown. In time, they freeze and join the permafrost that is the core of the island. That frozen moss has been building up in place for thousands of years. In their short summer field seasons, Convey and colleagues have drilled down through the carpet of moss and into the permafrost. In the cores they removed, they found shoots of moss within the permafrost and even down in gravel layers.

Generally, plants break down when they become permafrost, but something different seemed to be happening with the moss shoots. Convey and his co-workers wondered if the ancient moss might be able to grow again. “It was just kite-flying,” he said of his idea to a reporter from The New York Times. The researchers took a core of the permafrost and put it near a lamp in a laboratory. They also misted it with water. In just a few weeks, they were rewarded with moss that was generating new, green growth, even from the zone three and a half feet below the surface. As they have now reported in the journal Current Biology, they analyzed the moss for carbon-14, the radioactive or “hot” form of carbon that decays naturally

over time at predictable rate. This gave the researchers a well-established method to test for how old the buried moss was. The moss they revived in the lab was more than 1,500 years old. In other words, it’s been dormant since around the year 500, but was able to spring back to active life when conditions were favorable. A pretty good trick! But, obviously, it’s a far cry from reviving old moss to reviving animals like dinosaurs. Still, science yields some surprises now and then. Let’s not rule out anything when it comes to resurrection. –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– ■ Dr. E.

The diversity of Pike County, Illinois is great because of the Illinois and Mississippi rivers, agriculture, railroads and the tremendous amount of history surrounding them. There is a vast amount of stories about people, places and events connected to each of these subjects. Several books recording regional and community events, as well as memorable individuals, have been compiled by a number of people. Jess M. Thompson and C.C. Chapman have compiled enormous amounts of early Pike County history in their works. Other local authors include Carol McCartney, Kenny Higgins, Loren Ottwell, Ralph Kern, Velva Grimes, Hugh Ellis, John McWilliams, Rebecca Burlend, Kent Kerr, Anna Clark, Jon Payne, James Yokem, Paul Findley and John Nicolay. There also may be others I have left out. Among the many subjects one could choose to write about, agriculture and river life dominate the available information. Many aspects of river life were lived out by early pioneers including trapping, fishing, duck hunting and muscle shelling. Building or buying the equipment to carry out these businesses, as well as learning the marketing skills and retail methods to generate income to support, were important. The commercial fishing industry required a large variety of supplies and equipment. Boats, nets, baskets, bait, tar, hooks, net twine, board oars, boar motors, fuel, oil, butchering equipment, net pulls, shell bars, anchors and various items were required to successfully retrieve adequate amounts of fish to sell and to use as food for a family. Fur trapping and hunting warm-blooded animals along

the rivers and streams is another phase of river life in which most of the river people engaged. Beaver, mink, muskrat, raccoon, rabbit, otter, fox and wolves are all animals commonly found and hunted with guns and dogs or trapped with steel traps, snares or live traps. Larger game such as deer and buffalo also came to the rivers and streams and were hunted for food and fur. Hunting for commercial gain or personal use required certain items for success such as guns, ammunition, horses and dogs. Although the river people and the agricultural people needed support and trade from each other’s lifestyles, they each focused their energies in different areas of endeavor. The agricultural people concentrated their efforts toward raising grain, hay and livestock. The farming business required consistent effort and support from all of the family as there were many different types of activities that had to be completed in a timely manner and required a vast knowledge of breeding and raising livestock, as well as planting and harvesting a variety of seed and forage crops. Knowledge about equipment operation and maintenance were very important. Both lifestyles were very labor intensive and required each family member to accept some responsibility. Early pioneers resisted sending their children off to school because their help was so needed in the day-to-day activities in agriculture and river life. Although tremendous changes have come, agriculture has remained the largest provider for the Pike County economy. No longer is the 40-acre farm capable of providing a living for a family. The amount of land farmed by one man with modern equipment and technology can be in the hundreds of acres. Livestock production still requires more human involvement. The river life, on the other hand, has all but gone away. A few people still fish commercially but it is generally

done as a supplement to another job. The rivers are still as important as ever to the economy of the state and the railroads still employ people and move a tremendous amount of commodities. The hills, river bottoms and prairie lands of Pike County are still as mystical and beautiful as ever. The people of Pike County are still some of the greatest people on earth and time marches on. An unfortunate truth of life is that we get old too soon and smart too late. Therefore, my hope is that we in Pike County would require of ourselves to make an effort to preserve and teach to the coming generations the fascinating history of Pike County and its people.

Will love conquer all?

Some activist judges and government entities have decided that marriage isn’t just between one man and one woman. If they love each other, marriage can also be between two men or two women. Using the love logic, there is absolutely no coherent reason that marriage couldn’t be between one woman and several men or one man and several women (allowed by several religions). Marriage based on love could also be among a group of men, a group of women, a group of two men and two women, etc. Now that love is the only basis for marriage, the courts MUST take the next consistent step and let any group that declares their love get married.

errible flooding in north Pike County

125 Years Ago June 13, 1889 From all quarters north and northwest of us come accounts of a terrible flood Saturday night. Last Friday was a very hot and sultry one and at night a flood of rain came down, again stopping work in the corn crop. Samuel Klein and Charles Robb of north of Perry, undertook to cross a stream near there that was swollen by the

Saturday rain. The water came into the bed of the buggy and the single tree became detached from the buggy. The horse walked out and left them in the middle of the stream until a neighbor came to their relief. The basket meeting at Green Pond last Sunday was a good success, and a very large crowd was in attendance. Much of the material to be used in affecting the proper ventilation and heating

of the East school building has arrived. The Independent Press of Griggsville was sold on Tuesday to Ernest Williamson, a graduate of this (Pike County Democrat) office. 100 Years Ago June 17, 1914 The twenty-sixth annual convention of the Quincy district Epworth League of the Methodist churches is to be held in

Pittsfield today and tomorrow. Adlai Stevenson, former vice president of the United States, died early Sunday morning in a Chicago hospital at the age of eighty years. County Board chairman Edward Doocy and supervisors George E. Motley and Logan Baker will attend the 28th annual convention of the supervisors and county clerks of Illinois to be held Aug. 4,5 and 6.

The Coonridge Digest: Freida Marie Crump

The great Buffalo Gnat conspiracy Greetings from the Ridge My knowledge of entomology is right up there with my grasp of brain surgery and ballet but I recently found myself in a conference at which our featured speaker was a well-known bug expert. OK, I take that back. There are no well-known bug experts, but if the occupation ever gets scandalous or sexy then this guy will be featured on the front page of Time. His topic for the day was a little rascal that has plagued various parts of the Midwest for the past three years, the Buffalo Gnat. In some places the buggy buggers are called Black Flies, Turkey Gnats or White Socks. The guy told us there are over 1,800 species of the irritating critters but gave no hint as to who counted them. Unfortunately, only 11 species have gone extinct leaving the other 1789 to crawl inside our ears while we’re mowing the yard. The male flies dine on nectar while the females crave the blood of mammals. In this case, mammal is spelled “Y-O-U.” If nothing else it’s a setback for female equality. I sat there listening for some good news but heard very little other than the fact that they’ll likely be gone by July and that the bugs sleep at night. I’d like to be the one who puts them to bed, permanently. At the end of the science man’s speech he asked for questions and mine was the first hand to pop up. I stood and said, “I’ve

lived for a bunch of years and didn’t notice them, so how come they’ve suddenly popped up everywhere?” He smiled and began with a slightly wormy, “I think. . .” then continued. “A hundred years ago we had them and we have them now. To the best of our thinking, it’s because we’ve cleaned up the waterways and the Buffalo Gnats can now breed more easily.” I found this astounding. We’re spending the summer pulling bugs out of our nostrils because of the EPA? Sure enough, I went home to look the bug up and most experts agree that as we continue to clean up our rivers and lakes we’ll likely be plagued with more and more varmints. Could this be called progress? Makes me want to go tinkle in a creek. Calvin Seward is probably the most likeable old idiot in Coonridge. To him, everything is a conspiracy. The threat of global warming is a plot by the liberals to shut down the corporations, Obama is a Hindu Muslim Buddhist atheist who’s being controlled by Brazil, and China is a puppet state set up by Wal-Mart to get the best prices on plastic goods. If Calvin finds a rock he’ll turn it over and discover a plot by somebody or something to destroy the world. The man is so far out there that it’s often difficult to find him. Just to hear his latest rant I asked him how he could tie the reappearance of buffalo gnats to a worldwide conspiracy. When he laughed and said that was ridiculous I thought that the old boy was finally showing some signs of sanity

“

I went home to look the bug up and most experts agree that as we continue to clean up our rivers and lakes we’ll likely be plagued with more and more varmints. Could this be called progress? Makes me want to go tinkle in a creek. ”

until he said, “It’s the Clean Air and Water acts. That’s the conspiracy!” then he went on to tell me that the “tree huggers” and “liberal cry babies” want to return the Earth to its natural state where they can run around naked at rock festivals and worship burning piles of lumber in the desert. At last, Calvin was back to his old self and I was relieved. But it did get me to wondering. . . if cleaning up the environment means that we’ll be plagued with longforgotten plagues and predators as our water and air becomes clearer will we soon be waking up to headlines shouting, “Herds of Dinosaurs Converge on Disney World!” “Saber Tooth Tigers Terrorize Local Shopping Mall,” and “Local Bible School Closed Down due to Infestation of Dodo Birds and Passenger Pigeons!”? Maybe Calvin has a point. If we were to suddenly clean up the waters of the Potomac River running through Washington, D.C. would all the present-day predators like lobby groups, political

action committees, tea parties, liberal think tanks and family-related congressional aides suddenly become extinct and the nation’s capitol suddenly be overrun with formerly extinct species like Thomas Jefferson, James Madison and Daniel Webster? Would the newly scrubbed environment wipe out the obscene need for campaign funding and the air suddenly be filled with the sweet aroma of term limits and caps on political contributions that would return our system of government to a democracy instead of its current buy-ocracy? Maybe not, but it’s enough to think twice before I slap my next Buffalo Gnat. You ever in Coonridge, stop by. We may not answer the door but you’ll enjoy the trip. ■ The imaginative commentary of Freida Marie Crump comes to us from Coonridge – a town that’s a lot like your own.

Pickings (continued from A4) The long continued drouth in this county was partially broken by showers Thursday night, Friday and Saturday and the heated term at this writing seems to have subsided as it was only fifty-nine above this morning. Three Pike county young people will graduate from the state university at Champaign this week: Harry S. Barber, of Pittsfield, in agriculture; Ina V. Meredith, of Perry, in general science, and Walter A. Shewhart of New Canton, in physics. The Pittsfield barber shops last night commenced closing at 8 o’clock.

Dr. Gerald Shaw, a native of Pleasant Hill, has been a chiropractor in Pittsfield for the past 15 years, and is the only chiropractor in Pike County. Barbara Allen of Pittsfield was named outstanding female young Republican in Illinois and Pike County Young Republicans club was named outstanding small club in the state Saturday at the state convention of young Republicans. Charles Fisher and four of his students, Kent Baker, Jim Griffeth, Larry and Eddie Brokaw, attended the state FFA convention at the University of Illinois last week.

75 Years Ago June 14, 1939 The tragic death early Tuesday morning of Col. Jack Venable, 47, widely known auctioneer shocked Pittsfield and Pike county. Mr. Venable’s body was found in the bath tub on the third floor of the Windmiller Hotel, where he and his wife had an apartment for the past year. A coroner’s jury ruled the death due to accidental drowning. An all-day picnic to celebrate the first anniversary of energizing the REA lines in this area will be held Friday, June 23, at Ocean Trail park at Florence. Officers of the Barry high school alumni association, elected at the annual meeting June 2, are: President, Miss Marie Tholen; vice president, Miss Maude Clark; secretary and treasurer, Mrs. Della Beaver. Mrs. Maud B. Davis, a member of the class of 1890, was the oldest graduate present for the meeting. The temperature has hit 90 or above five days out of the past two weeks. Unless there is a decided change soon in the progress of the Illini Community Hospital drive, the people of Pike county will have turned down the finest opportunity for the general welfare ever offered to them. Only 16 days remain in which to raise the money.

25 Years Ago June 14, 1989 New officers of the Pittsfield VFW Post 9513, in addition to Commander Dick Bennett, are Marion Myers, V.A. Kelly, Bob Parsons, Charlie Moss, Ken Cook, and Bob Moore. Pike County will soon have a second probation officer to assist June Cooper, who is overwhelmed with case loads, according to Judge Cecil Burrows. The Griggsville Athletic Boosters elected new officers for the coming year; they are Lynn Freeman, Mike Bradshaw, Anita Stauffer and Evelyn Dehart. Pittsfield Lions Club president Bill Burlend presented a $500 check to fellow Lion Bob Lemons, representing the Pikeland Public Schools Foundation. The officers of the foundation are JoAnne Grote, president; N. D. Harrison, vice-president; Carol White, secretary; and Jeff Stark, treasurer. Other members of the board are Eldon Atwood, Joe Gay, Anne Goodin, Bill Lowry, Dick Niebur, Mike Thompson and Gen Webel. Tom Coulson is now publisher of the Pike Press; Julie Boren is news editor, and Allan Seiler has become a part-time writer. The ad manager is Ruth Hayden and Marcia Gerard is production manager.

50 Years Ago June 17, 1964 Earl Zimmerman, 70, well-known Pittsfield business man, died Monday morning at Illini Hospital. He had suffered a severe heart attack on June 6 at West Cemetery where he was caring for the family plot. Mr. Zimmerman was very active in Pittsfield civic organizations, spending many years as a conscientious member of the city council. The city council at its regular meeting Tuesday night voted to name a park on the west side of Pittsfield Lake in memory of Earl Zimmerman, who devoted a lot to his time to developing the lake and the park. Public reaction was swift to the hint by the Pike county board of supervisors that it might drop plans to rebuild and resurface the New Salem to Pittsfield county road. Petitions are being circulated to keep the road on the schedule, and 446 signatures have been obtained so far. The Dunham reunion was held at the American Legion hall in the Griggsville park Sunday June 7. Mary Dunham at 85 was the oldest member present. The youngest was little Amelia Lou Dean, six-month old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Dawson Dean.

10 Years Ago June 16, 2004 The project at the New Philadelphia site between Barry and Baylis is underway and archaeologists at the site are more than pleased with what they have found. Some areas of the village site are densely covered with artifacts and some have none at all. The new fire house for the Spring Creek Fire Protection District is well under construction, with members hoping to be in the building by fall. Dr. Joelle Lipcamon is among the 73 new physicians of the class of 2004 who graduated from Southern Illinois University School of Medicine in Springfield Saturday. She is the daughter of Bill and Regina Lipcamon of Rockport. Last week, Cliff Dolbeare of Pleasant Hill was elected vice president of the Illinois Association FFA at the state convention in Springfield. He is the second member from Pike County ever to be elected to a state office in the 76-year history of the state association. Otis Haskins of Pittsfield was elected vice president in 1957. ■ Pickings from Pike’s Past is compiled by Michael Boren.

Amish opening two businesses By BETH ZUMWALT Pike Press Daniel Schrock, who lives on the Martinsburg Road between Pittsfield and Pleasant Hill, just south of Martinsburg, has been making furniture since he moved to Pike County a year ago. “I have a few pieces in my showroom,” he said. “Or I custom make a lot of stuff. I recently made a headboard for a man in Jerseyville who works with leather. The headboard was 80.5 inches tall and he is going to inlay leather in it. It will be beautiful when it’s finished.” Currently, Schrock said he has orders for four or five beds and a bookcase. But woodworking wasn’t filling the needs of Schrock and his family which include a wife, three sons and two daughters, so he decided to branch out. “Dolmar, which makes lawn and garden tools, was looking for a dealer in this area,” he said. “They have a dealership in

Church story goes deeper than foundation Monmouth announces graduates and dean’s list “Once the crane operator got the steeple in the spot where he wanted it to lift it up, he had to reposition his crane,” Hannel said. “At that point, all the church family gathered around the steeple and laid hands on it and then the Carpenters for Christ laid hands on the church family and we all prayed a prayer of dedication. It was a very emotional, spiritual time.” Meanwhile, the church family has been busy making sure the Carpenters for Christ, which came from 12 different states to help with the project, had what they needed to make their stay possible. “We have been keeping the refreshment tent stocked,” Kay Sansom, a church member, said. “They like little packages of nuts and Honey Buns. For drinks, they seem to like GatorAid or something like that.” In addition to keeping the onsite workers full and refreshed, Sansom has also organized workers for other duties. “We have a group that goes in every morning and cleans the bathrooms and the showers at the school and sweeps the floors in the rooms where they sleep,” she said. “We also have a group of ladies that pick up their laundry and do it for them and we try to have four ladies every morning go into the cafeteria and help the cooks. They may chop up vegetables for salads or whatever or help with other preparation work.” The largest group of Carpenters for Christ have left.

framed up, trusses set and the roof in place. A smaller group came to town over the weekend. “About 30 workers from Builders on a Mission from several Tennessee churches are here now, “Hannel said. “They will finish putting up the stud walls, finishing some framing, running some electrical, putting in brackets

for electrical fixtures and plugins.” Hannel said the new church has provided himself as well as several other church members with a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. “This is probably the only time in my lifetime I will be a part of something like this,” Hannel said. “It’s is a very exciting, emotional experience.”

By beth zumwalt Pike Press The foundation of the new First Baptist Church in Pleasant Hill may be only a few feet deep but the story behind the project goes much deeper. Workers arrived in Pleasant Hill June 2 and 3 and work started in earnest June 4. The walls took shape nearly immediately and the crews began setting trusses June 6 with roofing the building starting soon thereafter. In the meantime, members of the Carpenters for Christ crew signed their names and in some instances their favorite Bible verse on the studs and the rafters of the building. Church members were invited to do the same and many have signed their names. In addition to being a part of history, some church members are signing not only their names but also their favorite verses or other inspirational writings. Thursday during the steeple setting, Pastor Don Hannel tried to gather as many of the church family as possible to be on hand for the occasion. “It was a special time in the construction,” Hannel said. “The steeple puts a mark on it that it is a church, not just a building. I know the church is the people that worship there, but the steeple says that this is where we worship Him. It is our place of worship.” The steeple, which came in two pieces, was assembled at the northwest corner of the church and then moved to the east side of the new building by crane.

Gerard lives at the bottom of a bluff and the water just came crashing down from it. Rain totals ranged from 3. 5 to 6 inches. Pearl Township Road Commissioner John Pope estimated 80 percent of the township roads suffered damage as a result of the deluge.

New baptist church building coming along

I want to remember Alexis Damon Saturday, June 21 as it’s her birthday. She goes to school in HannibalLaGrange and works at Blessing since she lives at Blessing. I want to wish her a happy birthday. If anybody happens to see her, wish her one. Happy birthday from Grams.

If you have not driven by the new Baptist Church building located up the hill past the pool, you will be surprised how fast it is coming along. The town has been a buzz with all the Carpenter’s for Christ who have been in the area working on the church. Several families had children come home for Father’s Day. Our family cannot all get together until June 28, why is life so busy. Ernie Winchell is under the weather and could use a card to cheer him up. He is P O Box 194, Pleasant Hill, Il 62366. I tore my Meniscus in my left knee and have been slow in moving. Mike says I am always

I hope all the fathers had a good father’s day yesterday. It’s going to be hot this week so I hope everybody stays cool. I guess that’s it until next week. Have a good day. May god bless you all until next week.

Joe’s older brother Benjamin Patrick Dobbins will graduate from law school in Chicago June 14 which as of this writing has already taken place. After my doctor appointment Monday, June 9 in Hannibal, Wanda Blacketer and I went to Quincy and enjoyed going to several stores. I believe my favorite was Joann’s Fabrics. Bill Harshman, Jane Lewis, Joyce Dyer and Allan Harshman had lunch at Howard and Alma Harshman’s for Father’s Day Sunday, June 15. Afternoon callers were Logan Harshman, Darrell Harshman and Gale Knight. There is so much good in the worst of us, And so much bad in the best of us, That it hardly becomes any of us To talk about the rest of us.

Birch. Connor was born June 3. He weighed seven pounds and twelve ounces and was nineteen inches long. He is welcomed by his parents, Cory and Cathy Birch and big sister Harper of Tomball, Texas.

slow moving. We had to make two trips to Quincy this past week. So on Monday, we did not go into Matthew’s house because of his steps. Friday when we went to Myah’s ball game I told Elise that we were going to her house. She asked are you going up because she likes grandma to play pretend games with her. A week ago several Jennings cousins came to look through the cemeteries to find their grandparents, great grandparents and great-great grandparents and great-great-great grandparents tombstones. Mike Miller led he group because he knew the locations.

Run brings out the glow in participants

Photo courtesy of Studio on the Square

Officials are estimating nearly 400 runners/walkers participated in Friday night’s Glo-Run. The event starts on the Pittsfield square after an evening of fun activities and runs through the southern portion of the city. This year’s event finished in the parking lot near the First Baptist Church as organizers did not want runners to cross the highway twice.

Beth Zumwalt/Pike Press

Cadee Nicholson, left, of Griggsville and Maggie Henry of Mt. Sterling were already cute enough but were waiting in line of face painting before the 5K started.

Jim Butler finished the Glo-run in an unofficial time of 19:25. Results were unofficial as it was not a competitive race. Mike Spann of Milton finished second with a time of 22:07. Top female finisher was Allyson Huffman of Jacksonville and Michelle Mooney of Louisiana, Mo.

Beth Zumwalt/Pike Press

Even the grandmas were a-glo. Bonnie Bruce, back right, had her grandchildren at the Glo-run. Grandchildren include left to right, Sadee, Sydney and Heidi.

Ashely Miller and Kalli Goewey were rocking the funking head dress Friday night at the Glo-run. The event is sponsored by Illini Fitness and is becoming an annual event. Friday night’s run was the second.

Katie Miller was all aglow Friday night at the glow run. The run attracted more than 350 runners who ran the streets of Pittsfield starting at 9 p.m. after an evening of fun activities on the courthouse lawn.

JWCC bumps costs after year of tuition freeze After freezing tuition last year, John Wood Community College Trustees approved increasing tuition and fees by $9 a credit hour. The increase is in line with the average of all Illinois community colleges and maintains JWCC’s position as the region’s educational value choice. In-district tuition per credit hour will change from $123 with a $10 institutional support fee to $129 per credit hour with a $13 fee. The bump amounts to an extra $288 a year for students taking 32 credit hours, which is a dollar amount increase that is in line with community colleges statewide. Regionally, JWCC’s average full-time in-district cost of $4,544 for next year compares favorably with public and private annual tuition and fees ranging from $10,000 to $25,000. “Three factors led the College to increase tuition,” Mike Elbe, JWCC president said. “A lower unemployment rate means fewer adults retraining for careers, smaller high school graduating classes decreases enrollment and a projected decrease in state funding means needed revenue must come from tuition. However, we have enrollment opportunities

with an upcoming online degree initiative and the return of the second year of nursing instruction to the JWCC campus.” For the past three years, JWCC contracted with Blessing-Rieman College of Nursing to provide the second year of instruction for its longstanding associate degree nursing program. This partnership agreement allowed JWCC the time and resources to revise its nursing curriculum to focus on the preparation of registered nurses in the community college setting. During the board meeting, Trustees approved the College’s plan to return the second year of instruction in JWCC’s nursing from BRCN to JWCC’s campus. All pre-requisite and first-year nursing courses have remained at JWCC. “We are extremely grateful to have BRCN’s solid partnership to provide instruction these last few years and for the continued opportunity to share resources to prepare students for careers and seamless transition into bachelor’s degree nursing programs,” Elbe said. The move allows JWCC to more closely follow its mission to provide the most affordable and accessible

education for students in the district. Future JWCC nursing students will save on tuition costs by having JWCC professors instruct both years of the nursing program. Following appropriate state board approvals, all nursing instruction will take place at JWCC starting the fall of 2015. The partnership between JWCC and BRCN will transition from one of contractual instruction to shared use of state-ofthe-art simulation labs and clinical facilities at Blessing Hospital. “The collaboration with JWCC nursing program has been very successful, and I look forward to continuing our relationship in simulation experiences that enhance student’s clinical education,” Dr. Pam Brown, BRCN president said. “This region needs well prepared nurses, and I wish nothing but success for the JWCC associate degree program.” In other business, the Board: n Recognized outgoing and incoming members of JWCC’s Phi Theta Kappa International Honor Society chapter. The chapter recently won three awards at the international PTK convention. JWCC’s chapter was the only community

college in Illinois to receive the College Project Award and was recognized in the top 100 out of 1300 chapters worldwide. Jamie Morrell, JWCC psychology instructor, advises the group. Recognized newly elected Student Government Officers for the 2014-15 academic year. Students elected were as follows: Martin Nall of Camp Point, president; Kurt Schuster of Golden , vice president; Seth Wolfmeyer of Liberty, secretary; Harlee Flesner of Payson, treasurer; Caleb Weitnauer of Quincy, activities chair. n Approved a new three-year lease agreement for JWCC’s Pittsfield Education Center. n Authorized application and acceptance of $33,327 in grant funds from the Illinois Terrorism Task Force and Illinois Emergency Management agency. Funds will be used to purchase seven dual-band portable radios for Campus Police to simultaneously communicate internally and with regional emergency services personnel. The next regular meeting of JWCC Trustees will take place June 18 at 7 p.m. on JWCC’s Quincy campus.

Immunization update on public school vaccinations Beginning school year 2014-15, students entering 6th grade must show proof of Hepatitis B vaccination. This previously was a requirement at 5th grade, but now is a 6th grade requirement. Most all students received this vaccination as infants, so have already met this requirement. Students entering any grade level must show proof of having received two doses of rubella vaccine and two doses of mumps vaccine. Again, most all students will have met this requirement by having received the combination MMR (measles, mumps & rubella) vaccine at age 1 year and again at age 4-5 years of age. Recent mumps and measles outbreaks in surrounding communities underscore the importance of this vital vaccination requirement. Students entering Kindergarten, 6th grade, or 9th grade must show proof of having received two doses of varicella (chicken pox) vaccine, or proof of prior varicella disease, or lab evidence of

Kyle Boshardy won the National Choral award at Pittsfield High School. He is a member of the PHS chorus and swing choir.

Boshardy wins National Choral award The National Choral Award is a peer-elected award given to an outstanding senior in the Pittsfield High School choral program. PHS Chorus members vote for any senior they feel exemplifies not only character and musicianship, but leadership and service as a member of the choral program, as well as participation in vocal music events. Kyle Boshardy was this year’s recipient, being honored during the spring chorus concert for the National Choral Award. Kyle is a member of the PHS Chorus and Swing Choir. He has been chosen through audition into the ILMEA District Chorus two years, and he advanced to the ILMEA All-State Chorus during his junior year, as well as the

All-State Honors Choir his senior year. Kyle has sung the National Anthem at home volleyball matches, basketball games, and at many wrestling meets. Over the years Kyle has earned numerous 1 ratings at IGSMA and IHSA music contests for his vocal solo and ensemble work. Kyle will be attending the University of Illinois next fall, where he will be majoring in Computer Science. He is the son of the late Dr. Andrew Boshardy and Patricia Boshardy, and he is currently a private vocal student of James Feldpausch. Kyle will be presenting a senior recital with accompanist Joan Feldpausch at 1:00 on Saturday, June 14, at the United Methodist Church of Pittsfield.

varicella immunity. Some students may only have one chicken pox vaccine on record. Check your child’s record or ask your health care provider to check to see if two chicken pox vaccines were given. Students entering 6th-12th grade must show proof of Tdap (Tetanus, diphtheria, pertussis) vaccine. Most students 7th grade and up have already met this requirement and do not require additional vaccination. Be sure to have your child vaccinated against meningitis. It could save your child’s life! Children age 11-12 should receive a meningitis vaccine and a second “booster” dose at age 16. Teens of all ages should receive a meningitis vaccine if they have not received one. Any teen entering college should also be sure to receive this vaccine. Meningitis vaccination will become a school requirement for the school year 2015-16. This school requirement falls in line with the current CDC recommendations for meningitis vaccination.

Illini announces groundbreaking ceremony Illini Community Hospital has announced that it will hold the official groundbreaking ceremony for its construction project Monday, June 30 at 10 a.m. “We are very excited to officially start this project,” said Kathy Hull, President and CEO of Illini. “It has been something we’ve been planning for and to have it now so close to becoming a reality makes all of us very proud to be a part of it.” The construction project consists of 2 phases. Phase 1 will include finishing the existing shelled space above the Emergency Department as well as adding on a 2720 square foot addition to the West end of the facility. The finished shelled space will become the new home for the Consulting Physicians Clinic as well as the Outpatient Services Department, which includes Outpatient Oncology. “To be able to build areas that are actually designed for these departments is something we’ve been looking to do for a long time,” Hull said. “Currently, both of these departments are in areas that were originally used for other services. The new space will have many

added benefits as far as space and design for both our patients and employees.” Phase 2 will included gutting and remodeling the existing West wing of the hospital that now hosts the Consulting Physicians Clinic. This remodeled space, along with the new addition to the West end, will be the new home for the Illini Rural Health Clinic. “Our Rural Health Clinic has simply outgrown its current space,” Hull said. “The new addition along with the renovation of existing space will allow us to more than double the amount of square footage for the clinic. This will make for more efficient visits for our patients.” SM Wilson is the project construction manager, as the company has been for most major Blessing Health System building projects. Much of the work will be done by local contractors and their employees. “It is very important to us to use local businesses for this project as much as possible,” Hull said. “Illini has been built by the local community, both in the literal and figurative sense. This project allows us to continue to fulfill our mission of improving the health of our community.”

Illini announces groundbreaking ceremony

Submitted photo

HCE

donates to

Ronald McDonald House

As part of its ongoing "Community Outreach Projects”, Pike County HCE collected over $350 in cash, gift cards and food pantry items for the Ronald McDonald House in Springfield, Ill. The bounty was delivered by Mary Eustace, left, District 4 Director and Pike County HCE President with the help of Darlene Moore, right, a HCE member of the Milton/Pearl Unit. What is HCE? Our members strive to enchance

the lives of individuals and families through quality educational programs and experiences encouraging responsible leadership and most importantally - service to our community. We encourage "Community Outreach Projects" such as Pike County Unmet Needs and our local food pantry. If you have a generous volunteer heart, please consider joining a Pike County HCE unit. Your heart will be happy!

Illini Community Hospital has announced that it will hold the official groundbreaking ceremony for its construction project Monday, June 30 at 10 a.m. “We are very excited to officially start this project,” said Kathy Hull, President and CEO of Illini. “It has been something we’ve been planning for and to have it now so close to becoming a reality makes all of us very proud to be a part of it.” The construction project consists of 2 phases. Phase 1 will include finishing the existing shelled space above the Emergency Department as well as adding on a 2720 square foot addition to the West end of the facility. The finished shelled space will become the new home for the Consulting Physicians Clinic as well as the Outpatient Services Department, which includes Outpatient Oncology. “To be able to build areas that are actually designed for these departments is something we’ve been looking to do for a long time,” Hull said. “Currently, both of these departments are in areas that were originally used for other services. The new space will have many added benefits as far as space and design for both our patients and

employees.” Phase 2 will included gutting and remodeling the existing West wing of the hospital that now hosts the Consulting Physicians Clinic. This remodeled space, along with the new addition to the West end, will be the new home for the Illini Rural Health Clinic. “Our Rural Health Clinic has simply outgrown its current space,” Hull said. “The new addition along with the renovation of existing space will allow us to more than double the amount of square footage for the clinic. This will make for more efficient visits for our patients.” SM Wilson is the project construction manager, as the company has been for most major Blessing Health System building projects. Much of the work will be done by local contractors and their employees. “It is very important to us to use local businesses for this project as much as possible,” Hull said. “Illini has been built by the local community, both in the literal and figurative sense. This project allows us to continue to fulfill our mission of improving the health of our community.”

Vose selected for NSCS McKenzie Vose of Perry has been selected for membership into The National Society of Collegiate Scholars (NSCS). NSCS is a member of the Association of College Honor Societies and is the nation’s only interdisciplinary honors organization for first-year and secondyear college students. Membership is by invitation only, based on grade point average and class standing. Vose is a 2013 graduate of GriggsvillePerry High School and recently completed her freshman year at Illinois State University in Normal. She holds a 4.0 GPA and was selected to the Dean’s List for both the fall and spring semesters. Vose was chosen “Most Valuable New Member” of the student alumni council, where she helped plan homecoming activities, Relay for Life, and sibling carnival on the ISU campus.

Hunt for suspicious Advertise with us! person ends well By beth zumwalt Pike Press Three area fire departments – Baylis, North Pike and Griggsville – spent Saturday morning looking for a naked female in a cornfield near the blue water tower on Rt. 104. According to Pike County Deputy Steve Lehr, he was in the south part of the county when he got the call and immediately headed to the Adams//Brown/Pike County line area. Lehr said when he arrived, there were already two Illinois State troopers on the scene. “One was walking in the corn and the other was waiting for me,” Lehr said. The field is owned by Rick Fencik, according to Lehr, and Fencik was called. He said he knew nothing about the situation

Traffic

but would bring his 4-wheeler and help with the search. Fencik and his wife, Beth, arrived at the scene and started to assist with the operation. Lehr said he went to poll the neighbors to see if anyone had someone missing or had noticed anything unusual. “I was going down the road to a trailer to see if anyone was living there when I came across a pile of clothes in the road,” Lehr said. “Now, we didn’t know what we had. It could have been a sexual assault or a mentally unstable person.” A short time later the Fenciks found woman, who said she was from Bluffs and had attended a party in the area the night before and seemed confused by all the police and fire department presence. The woman, who Lehr estimated to be 22 or 23, was released to her parents.
