New legislative maps await governor’s signature By BETH ZUMWALT Pike Press A legislative map that will cause Pike County to lose both State Rep. C.D. Davidsmeyer and Sen. Steve McClure. Both are Republicans. Both will go to other districts, while Pike County will pick up Amy Eilk as their representative and Jil Tracy as senator. They, too, are both Republicans. But, the matter is far from over. Both Davidsmeyer and McClure expect the map to be challenged in court for several reasons, but the most likely is the source of data used in drawing the map. Traditionally, the maps are drawn using data collected from the U.S. Census. Both are done every 10 years, but with last year’s pandemic, the census date has been delayed and will not be available until
late summer. The remapping committee then diverted to data from the American Community Survey (ACS). McClure alleges the data from the ACS is less reliable. “They have used the ACS which is really a survey more than a census,” McClure said. “The original data from the American Community Survey said we would lose two senate seats when in fact we are only losing one. That’s a big deal.” McClure and Davidsmeyer want to wait until the census data is available. It is predicted to be Aug. 16, while the deadline for redistricting is June 30. If the maps are not finalized by June 30, a process involving a supposed non-partisan, eightmember committee will meet to decide on the maps. It would then be voted on in October during the fall session. (See, LEGISLATIVE, A2)

Freak accident results in fatality By BETH ZUMWALT Pike Press
A
rural Pittsfield man was pronounced dead at the scene after his pickup truck plunged over a 150-foot bluff into the flood waters of the Illinois River.
The Pike County Sheriff’s Department received a call Saturday, May 29, at 5:49 p.m. regarding a vehicle crash northeast of Milton, near the Illinois River. The crash was on private property. Shortly after the arrival of emergency personnel, the driv-
er of the vehicle, 68-year-old William H. Farnsworth, of rural Pittsfield, was pronounced dead at the scene due to injuries sustained in the crash. Assisting at the scene was the East Pike Fire Department, the Pittsfield Fire Department, Pike County EMS and the Pike County Emergency Management Agency.
Conservation Police prepare for busy boating season By DAVID CAMPHOUSE Pike Press Six officers of the Illinois Department of Natural Resources (IDNR) District Nine Conservation Police met Wednesday, May 26 at Ralphs Landing on the Mississippi River to conduct annual boat readiness training in preparation for the summer boating season. According to Conservation Police Sergeant Eric Meyers, the training session is an important opportunity for officers to make sure all department equipment is in good working order and that all of the department’s officers are accustomed to operating the department’s different types of boats. The training is critical, Meyers said, in order for the officers to keep residents safe on the area’s waterways this summer. “We are making sure all boating equipment is ready for boating season,” Meyers said. “Our officers monitor 424 miles of river on the Illinois, Mississippi and La Moine. We spend a lot of time on the river. Boating and fishing is big out here.” (See, CONSERVATION, A2)

Illinois Department of Natural Resources (IDNR) District Nine conservation police officers (CPO) met at Ralphs Landing on the Mississippi River to conduct boat readiness training ahead of the summer boating season. Left to right: Sergeant Eric Meyers, CPO 2 Michael Goetten, CPO 2 Michael Blazinic, CPO 2 James Blakeley, CPO 1 James Olroyd and CPO 1 Aaron Jansen spent the training session making sure all of the department’s boating equipment was ready for the season and to make sure each officer was accustomed to each of the department’s different boats, including a newly acquired mud boat. The officers remind residents to use caution while on the river, to wear life jackets and to not drink while operating a boat.
Civil War Re-enactment this weekend By BETH ZUMWALT Pike Press Whether it is an increased interest in history or the need to get out after a pandemic, the 2021 Civil War Re-enactment, scheduled for this weekend at the Pittsfield City Lake, is looking to be one of the biggest ever. “We are expanding the battlefield,” Kathy Zimmerman, a driving force behind the event, which is celebrating its 19th year. “We have to because of the increased numbers we are expecting.” Zimmerman said a usual year will attract around 250-300 participants but this year the numbers show more than 375 re-enacts have indicated they are coming. “They are coming from all over the midwest,” Zimmerman said. “Ohio, Indiania, Kansas, Iowa, Missouri and of course, Illinois.” This year’s re-enactment will feature the Underground Railroad which is suspected to have ran through New Philadelphia, a community founded by Frank McWorter, a former slave who purchased his and his family’s freedom before coming to Hadley Township in Pike County. “We also have a couple who plan to renew their wedding vows during the re-enactment,” Zimmerman said. “That will compliment our fashion show for both men and women.” There will be a focus on the Battle of Shiloh, where many Pike County Civil War soldiers fought and there will be impersonators of General Grant, Lee and Wallace as well as President Lincoln. Zimmerman said there will be vendors selling period goods, including crafts and foods. There will also be more entertainment with the Alton Jaeger Guard bringing their fife and drum corps.
Events start Saturday at 8 a.m. with the Naval Colors in the Navy Camp and at 9 when all camps open for visitors. The Underground Railroad program will start at 9:30 in the blue and white tent.

Legislative (Continued from A1) Republicans charge Democrats are trying to avoid that scenario in order to keep control. Democrats say there is no constitutional requirement that the map be drawn using data collected in the 10-year census, but there is a deadline they are trying to meet. Governor J.B. Pritzker vowed when he ran for governor in 2018 that he would veto any redistricting map drawn by politicians, political staff or lobbyists. He has since toned
that down, saying he would veto any map that wasn’t fair. If Pritzger signs the map and it is not contested in court, Davidsmeyer would slide to north and take on Cass, Schuyler and Sangamon Counites. McClure would move to the east. Davidsmeyer said he loves his current district and has made many friends and working relationships with the people of his district. “I am not ruling out moving,” Davidsmeyer said. Senatorial and Representa-
tive candidates can begin circulating petitions to get on the ballot as soon as Aug. 31. If the legislature doesn’t have a finalized map by then, some candidates could be circulating petitions for districts that aren’t official at that time. The new maps take effect with the 2022 elections cycle when every legislator is on the ballot. Members of the House, and Senate run every two years with the Senate operating on a rotating schedule of two four-year terms and one two-year term.

DESTROYS HOUSE IN
BARRY
A fire on the 1100 block of South Bainbridge Street in Barry destroyed a home the morning of Wednesday, May 26. According to Barry Fire Chief Jason Fee, it is believed the fire started at approximately 7 a.m. from a possible electrical issue in the home. Fire crews from Barry, Hull, Kinderhook and New Canton responded to the blaze. No one was hurt as a result of the fire, and the homeowner was at work when the fire occurred. The house is a total loss.
Pikeland board sets district goals for 2021-2022 By DAVID CAMPHOUSE Pike Press Pikeland’s school board set several district goals for fiscal year 2022 when the group met at its Wednesday, May 19, meeting. According to Pikeland Superintendent Carol Kilver, the goal setting process, which started nearly as soon as she came to the district last summer, is an important step for the district as it looks beyond the pandemic and toward next year. “We want to get into a clear cycle of setting goals,” Kilver said. “It feels good to be looking forward and out of this rut.” According to Kilver, the district’s goals are designed to more effectively measure student learning and learning loss, as well as to provide more robust social and emotional support for students. Kilver said student testing at all grade levels will be expanded to better monitor pandemic-related learning loss and academic progress. “We’re looking at parents feeling confident that learning loss has been minimal,” Kilver said. “We feel academic learning has been progressing.” To better assess student learning, MAP testing will be expanded from third through eighth grades to grades K-10. A byproduct of remote learning brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic, Kilver said, has been increased student isolation. In response, the district is adding trained staff to better address student mental health issues. “We’ve added social/emotional learning staff, especially in the middle school area,” Kilver said. “Teletherapy through a provider in Belleville will also be available for students.” The board also approved a resolution to prepare and review an amended budget for the current fiscal year. According to Kilver, the budget amendments were made necessary by federal lunch plan reimbursement changes, the February natural gas emergency, an influx
of federal stimulus/recovery funds and transfers of evidence-based funding to the district’s operations and maintenance fund. The amended budget will be on display until the June 24 board meeting. In other business, the board approved board policy changes, including policy related to the Student Online Personal Privacy Act. In addition, the 2021-2022 school calendar was approved. Kilver said the calendar is substantially similar to this year’s calendar, but that parent-teacher conferences will be held over two evenings and Christmas break will be slightly longer. Following closed session, the board approved several personnel decisions. Accepted were the resignations of elementary teacher and assistant PHS girls track coach Marla Willard, PHS cheerleading sponsor Billie Ruble and assistant PHS volleyball coach Stephanie Steele. Board members approved employment of elementary teacher Whitney Crowder PCS/South PE teacher Kate Marable, South special education teacher Maggie Martin, district assistant maintenance worker Brian Fitzjarrald, as well as lunchroom supervisors Barb Ballinger, Layne Gregory and Adam Zabel. The board approved Chardy Bangert, Justin Bangert, Teresa Bauer, Darlene Corgiat, Jacklyn Feldpausch, Kim Groom, Maddie Johnston, Kindra Phillips, Hannah Scranton and Jennifer Wessell as summer school teachers for the current year. Nathan Smith was hired as summer technology help, and Cade Tomhave was hired as summer custodian help. Finally, the following volunteer coaches were approved for 2021-2022: Q Jordan Cawthon - assistant PCS/PHS baseball coach. Q Dryden Craven - assistant PCS boys basketball coach. Q Dalton Hoover - assistant PHS boys basketball coach. Q Noah Mendenhall - assistant PHS boys basketball coach.
(Continued from A1) In order to make sure boaters are safe on the area’s rivers, officers work with boat operators and passengers to enforce boating safety rules and regulations. “Mostly we do boat safety compliance checks,” Meyers said. “The biggest thing is life jackets, but we check safety lanyards, fire extinguishers and conduct equipment checks.” Officers are also on the lookout for boat operators impaired by drugs or alcohol. “A latent function of the compliance checks is that we’re looking for operators under the influence,” Meyers said. “We have our share of them.” Of course, the Conservation Police’s compliance activities are designed to prevent accidents, injuries and deaths on the river. Meyers stressed the importance of safety equipment and boating sober in order to stay safe. “We deal with our fair share of drownings and boating accidents,” Meyers said. “Most boating deaths result from a failure to use safety equipment – life jackets being the number one issue. And, of course, don’t drive a boat drunk.” Conservation Police Officer (CPO) 2 James Blakeley added that paying close attention to river conditions is also impor-
tant to avoid boating accidents. “The river is very dangerous,” Blakeley said. “A lot of people don’t understand the amount of danger with currents and undertows. You have to monitor water levels, too. The river is always changing with flood waters and currents.” According to IDNR’s annual Illinois Recreational Boating Report, officers investigated 81 boat accidents on Illinois waterways during the 2020 boating season, which represented an increase over 2019’s 72 accidents. In addition, in Illinois, a total of 21 boating fatalities were reported in 2020, an increase from 14 in 2019. Boating enforcement activity by the Illinois Conservation Police also saw an increase in the total number of citations and written warnings issued in 2020 compared to 2019 according to the report. Citations increased from 735 to 863, and written warnings increased from 2,623 to 3,208. The number of operating under the influence arrests stayed roughly the same, from 103 to 102. Personal floatation devices (PFD) and operating under the influence remained the top boating violations cited by officers in 2020. IDNR boating accident reports show the majority
of accidents occur in June, July and August, on Saturday or Sunday, between 12 and 6 p.m. Conditions are usually clear with good visibility, light winds and calm water. Most accidents involve operators between the ages of 20 and 40 that have little or no classroom boating safety instruction. The accidents most commonly involve open motorboats cruising in a careless/reckless manner culminating in a collision with another boat. IDNR data shows that seven out of 21 boating fatalities involved alcohol or drug impairment. The same IDNR report showed that the number one factor that would have saved lives in the 2020 boating season would have been for people to wear life jackets, or PFDs. Of 2020’s 21 fatalities, 15 may have been avoided if PFDs had been worn, IDNR reported. All persons under the age of 13, and operators/ passengers on personal watercraft or specialty prop-craft, are required to wear a Coast Guardapproved PFD. The most proactive action a boater can take to ensure his/her safety on the water, IDNR reports, is wearing a Coast Guardapproved PFD of the appropriate size and in serviceable condition.

Griggsville-Perry joins Morgan County Conference for junior high sports By DAVID CAMPHOUSE Pike Press At its regular Wednesday, May 19, meeting, GriggsvillePerry’s (G-P) school board approved membership in the Morgan County Conference for junior high athletics. G-P will maintain its membership in the Pike County Conference. “We’ll remain a member in Pike,” Superintendent Kent Hawley said. “We like playing all the Pike County schools.” The decision to join the new conference made sense, Hawley said, as it is geographically convenient, and G-P plays most Morgan County schools already. “In most sports, we play all the Morgan County schools,” Hawley said. “In basketball, we’ll add Franklin.” In addition, the new conference will present additional opportunities for students. “There are opportunities in Morgan County for player and team recogni-
tion that we don’t have in Pike County,” Hawley said. “We think it will be a good addition.” The district also welcomed and swore in Tasha Bartlett as an appointed school board member. As an appointed board member, Bartlett will serve until the next board election in 2023, at which point she may run for reelection. During the public comment portion of the meeting, district resident Anne Nash voiced her concern about parental authority on medical decisions regarding the wearing of masks and possible vaccination mandates. To date, the state has made no such vaccination mandate. GriggsvillePerry, according to Hawley, will await further guidance from the Illinois State Board of Education and Illinois Department of Public Health regarding mask wearing and other COVID-19 precautions. The board conducted its first reading for the amended fiscal year 2021 budget, due to unforeseen district purchases and delayed
state payments. “We needed a driver’s education vehicle that wasn’t in the original budget,” Hawley said. “And we were waiting on transportation and special education payments from the state.” The budget will be on display for 30 days and will be considered for approval following a budget hearing at the district’s June board meeting. Following closed session, the board made several personnel decisions. Danielle VanWinkle was hired as an elementary teacher for the 2021-2022 school year. The board accepted the resignation of Garrett White as junior high track coach. Todd Evans was appointed to serve as the district’s Four Rivers Special Education District Council representative. In addition, board members voted to extend Family and Medical Leave Act leave for Ali Baker for the remainder of the 20202021 school year.
Several styles of music were represented in a recital at the Griggsville United Methodist Church on May 22, as students performed songs for piano, violin, cello and trumpet. Rev. David Kelly, host pastor, gave the invocation. Students sharing their skills were Trey Ruzich, violin, and Mary Ellen McClain, cello, students of Kenlea Freesmeyer; Ava Rush, Nena Boylan, Tynley Ruzich, Jillian Orr and Ashton Freesmeyer on piano, and Willow Freesmeyer, violin and piano, students of Susanne Curry, as well as Drew Workman (trumpet) who played a medley that included “All Because of God’s Amazing Grace” in memory of a
special family friend. Ashton Freesmeyer performed a lovely piano arrangement of the hymn, “God Will Take Care of You,” arranged by Martin. Cleve Curry congratulated Kenlea Freesmeyer on her achievements musically as a senior graduate. She performed “Turkish Rondo” by Mozart on piano, “Ave Maria” by Schubert and “Sonata in C” by Breval on the cello. She also accompanied her brother, Ashton, on an arrangement of “Give Thanks” for cello, by Plethel. “Sanctuary” arranged by Plethel was a cello/piano duet played by Ashton and Cleve with an unusual rhythmic emphasis. The Freesmeyer siblings,
Western Illinois
including veteran cellist, Isaiah, and Cleve, formed an ensemble of four cellos and violin on the hymn, “In the Sweet By and By.” Cleve and Susanne concluded the program with an organ/piano duet , “Ode to Joy” by Beethoven, in honor of Beethoven’s 250th anniversary. The duet was arranged by Stephen Nielson and Ovid Young. The Currys expressed appreciation for all the students, whatever their stage of musical maturity. They are commended for developing a skill they can enjoy a lifetime, and for sharing their music with others, as well. Refreshments were enjoyed in the Good Shepherd Hall following the program.

The Pike-Scott Farm Bureau presented six area third grades with a bushel of agricultural-themed books. The bushel of books and other goodies are the organizations’ way of saying thank you for the enthusiasm and effort to blend agricultural subjects into classrooms this year.

NEW SALEM
OBITUARIES Jonathon ‘Jon’ Michael Robinson Jonathon “Jon” Michael Robinson On Tuesday May 25, 2021, Jonathon Michael Robinson departed his earthly home for his heavenly home. While our hearts are broken and we are grieving our loss, we are grateful for the time we had with this beautiful angel on earth. Jon was born on July 12, 1986, the day after his Mom’s birthday. From that day forward, he brought joy, happiness, and sunshine into our lives and the lives of many others. Jon grew up in Pleasant Hill, IL and graduated from Pleasant Hill High School. He was a dedicated member of the Pittsfield Assembly of God Church and helped out in the sound booth for the Children’s ministry. “Stand close to those who feel like sunshine”. That was our beloved Jon. His light surely shined on everyone that he met and even those he hadn’t, but who had only heard “Jon” stories. His zest for life was nearly matched by his zest for covering himself in cologne. He never met a stranger. When asked years ago he merely said, “People know me”. People did know him and they adored him. He faithfully read his bible and would have given anything for his preacher to give him the pulpit and microphone for an entire service. We always worried that this might just happen and no one ever knew what he would say. He had a twinkle in his eye and a song in his soul. He sang loud and proud for all those who listened. He made us laugh until we cried. Now we cry because we miss him
and his laughter. There are no words adequate enough to describe how deeply cherished he was and the impact of his life on others. He routinely prayed for others and would send texts of encouragement to those who needed it. He was and continues to be a source of inspiration and encouragement to others. Although we may no longer physically see Jon, we believe he has left a permanent impression on all those fortunate enough to know him. Jon would want all of us to remember him with a smile and laughter rather than with tears. He would want us to find comfort in knowing he is home with his Heavenly Father and his family gone before. Jon will always continue to bring sunshine and light into our lives. We will miss his sense of humor, his contagious smile, and his love of life. He will be deeply loved forever and will never be forgotten because we carry his heart in our hearts. Jon was that “one in a million” special kind of person and we are all better because of him. People are encouraged to write their favorite “Jon stories”, share pictures, and write about the impact he had on their lives on https:// WeLoveJonRobinson.fromabirdie.com/contribute. Jon is survived by his loving parents, Mike and Teresa Robinson of Pleasant Hill, IL; his dearly loved siblings, Heidi (Paul) Jaeckle of Caledonia, MI, Michael (Charlie Weder) Robinson of Collinsville, IL, his partner in crime nephew, Riley Jaeckle, his best friend and maternal
Melody Lyn Taylor Melody Lyn Taylor, age 58, of Pearl, IL passed away on Wednesday, May 26, 2021 at her home. No services will be held at this time and cremation rites have been accorded. Memo-
rials are suggested to be made to the family c/o Niebur Funeral Home. Online condolences may be left to the family at www.nieburfh. com. Niebur Funeral Home is handling the arrangements.

Erick Hively, center, will be playing basketball next season for the Hannibal LaGrange (H-LG)Trojans.
