By beth zumwalt Pike Press Judge Chet Vahle said in 27 years on the bench there have been few times he felt the need to use the gavel to conclude a case. An exception came Friday morning in the Pike County Courthouse when he received a recommendation from the special prosecutor that the charges of misconduct against Sheriff and Coroner Paul Petty be dropped. After accepting the prosecutor’s motion, Vahle banged his gavel and announced, “Case dismissed” and the courtroom erupted in applause. The courtroom was nearly full of spectators, most of whom were Petty supporters. The hearing was the first courtroom appearance for Petty since June 2, when it was ruled the Pike County State’s Attorney’s office, which filed the charges, had a conflict of interest and could not prosecute the matter. Ed Parkinson, a special prosecutor appointed to investigate the case, said in his motion to dismiss that there was no evidence to support the charge.
Parkinson, a Jacksonville attorney, also said that he did not believe a criminal act had been committed and referenced the first sub paragraph of the law that Petty was charged with violating. “It says in order for misconduct to occur, the coroner had to be aware of the circumstances of the death and find the case suspicious,” Parkinson said. “I move that it be dismissed.” The case involved the death of Shanna Lopez, who died in Milton, Sept, 2012 after ingesting herion. No one has ever doubted she died of the drug. John Edgar, 26 of Kampsville, was originally charged with drug inducted homicide in the matter but has been offered a plea deal requiring him to plead guilty to involuntary manslaughter. After agreeing to the dismissal, Vahle said that he was going to explain what had happened to those in the courtroom. “Most times the system works well,” he said. “For those instances where human judgment or action is less than perfect, the justice system has certain built-in safeguards. Those
By JEANETTE WALLACE Pike Press The public safety committee report presented during the Pike County Board meeting Monday, June 23, included information about a recent problem with an ambulance transfer. It was reported that Steve Kelly, Terri Kelly Allen and Vernon Kelly had attended the June 9 committee meeting to protest the long delay of a patient transfer from Illini to a hospital in St. Louis. The delay of transfers happens when one county ambulance is already out of the county on a call or transfer. The Kellys advocated for more employees to expand capabilities. There are currently six fulltime paramedics and three parttime, and there are five fulltime EMTs and four part-time. “The problem is whenever one ambulance is out of the county, the other one cannot take a transfer out of the county,” Cleve Curry, public safety committee chairman, said. The committee held a special meeting June 19 to discuss the matter further. Randy Faxon, EMS coordinator for Blessing Hospital, attended the special meeting and explained that most smaller hospitals have the same problem because many local doctors frequent-
ly send patients to specialists. According to Faxon, Illini has the responsibility to the patient for transfer which is not related to the Pike County Ambulance. “If we’re in a situation where we don’t really have an ambulance available but we have one sitting there ... it looks like it’s available, but it’s dedicated to the county and 911,” Dr. Dan Mefford, board member, said. “If you want a transfer for a knee or an ankle or what we consider a non-life-or-death situation and then have a terrible accident arrive in the county, then the county is naked.” A plan was formed to offer training for transferring patients to nurses who are currently employed by the hospital. As long as the hospital can provide a qualified person for transfer and the ambulance can provide a driver, the only thing left is to create a legal agreement for liability. The training for nurses should take about six months. During the road and bridge committee report, committee chairman Fred Bradshaw explained that Chris Johnson would proceed with paperwork necessary for the jurisdictional transfer of County Highway 2 between New Salem and Griggsville from the townships back to the county system. Johnson was also directed to (See Board, A2)

Judge Chet Vahle redress for activity that is contrary to law.” Vahle said the former state’s attorney, Carrie Boyd, should not have filed the charges and was unable to prove the case, defend the case or be involved in the case. “She created a conflict of interest when she filed the case and it dis-
qualified her as legal representative for her client,” Vahle said. Scott Sabin, an attorney from Cherry, Frazier and Sabin, the law firm hired by Petty the day the charges were filed, appeared in court Friday with Petty, despite Rick Frazier being the attorney of record. Frazier apparently had a conflict and the hearing was scheduled on short notice, being placed on the docket less than 48 hours prior to the scheduled time. Sabin asked Vahle to consider his firm’s fees before dismissing the case. Vahle said he would and hoped that the county board and the law firm could meet to discuss fees, keeping costs to a minimum. After the hearing, Sabin said he was sure the firm and the board could agree on a satisfactory agreement. Vahle will have to approve any agreement reached by the two parties. Sabin said the important thing to remember is Petty’s innocence. “Mr. Petty did nothing wrong,” he said. “That’s what we should take away from this.”
An emotional Petty said he was relieved by the dismissal and said the case had been a strain on his family, staff and himself. He said he was overwhelmed with the positive support he has received from his family, his staff and the community since the ordeal started May 16 when Boyd filed the charges. He said he hoped that legislation could be drafted that would prevent this from happening to some other county officer either in Pike or elsewhere in the state. “There have been times, especially in the past month, where I have questioned my profession,” Petty said. “But this is the greatest sign that we have (that the system works). It may not be perfect, but give it time and it will work.” When asked if he could or would pursue civil action against Boyd, he declined to answer. Boyd resigned from her office, June 2, the same day as Petty’s first court appearance. Her Pittsfield home was listed June 19 on a local realtor’s website as being for sale for $221,000.

Konner Wombles keeps cool with water splashes at the Pittsfield pool Friday, June 20.
For the second time in three years, the Pittsfield FFA has put forth a major office holder in the state FFA organization. Willow Krumweide, a 2014 graduate of Pittsfield High School, was elected treasurer at the recent state convention held in Springfield. Dalton Heavner served as vice-president in 2012. Krumweide said since her election, she has been busy and sees her summer as being a whirlwind of activity. “We will be leaving Monday, June 23 for the Heritage and Cooperative trip to Washington D.C. sponsored by the Illinois Farm Bureau,” Krumweide said. “We have been having all kinds of meetings and training sessions.” Krumweide, who had planned to go to the University of Illinois and major in ag education, will put her college plans on hold for the year she serves as an FFA officer. “They are used to that happening,” Krumweide said. “They are very familiar with the situation. They will hold all of my scholarships and I won’t have to re-apply or anything.” Krumweide said anyone who
Willow Krumweide has been a section officer and holds a state degree is eligible to be nominated for a state office. She said approximately 40 were nominated and the list was pared down to 10 with the officers chosen from the short list. She said she will spend the next year visiting high schools and overseeing training programs. There will also be an overseas trip to see agriculture in other countries. “And by that time, it will be time for us to plan the 2015 state convention,” Krumweide said. She is the daughter of Tim and Lisa Krumweide of Pittsfield and Markita Rohlfs. C

Rising country star coming in September Tickets are now on sale for the last big party of the summer in western Illinois. Emerging country music artist Cole Swindell will headline the "Party In The Infield with Cole Swindell" concert Sunday, Sept. 7 at the Western Illinois Fairgrounds in Griggsville. The evening is sponsored by Rinella Distributing and Budweiser. Swindell is quickly gaining popularity after the success of last summer's breakout platinum hit "Chillin' It." His current single "Hope You Get Lonely Tonight" has already climbed to No. 25 on Billboard's latest 'Country Airplay' chart. Those songs and others, including fan favorites "Ain't Worth The Whiskey" and "Let Me See Ya Girl", are all available on his self-titled debut album released in February. Cole Swindell is currently on tour with country megastar Luke Bryan on the nationwide, sold-out "That's My Kind Of Night" tour. The 30-year-old is also well known in Nashville for his songwriting talents, credited with writing songs for Luke Bryan, Craig Campbell, Scotty McCreery and Thomas Rhett. He also co-wrote Florida-Georgia Line's latest smash hit, "This Is How We Roll."

It was also reported during the meeting that the replacement of the courthouse roof is nearly complete. Four old light fixtures will continue to be used to illuminate the red dome of the structure because LED fixtures to replace them would cost around $10,000. The board also approved the compensation of eight extra days salary ($1,380) to Leecia Carnes while she covered for the State’s Attorney office during the period from May 19 to June 12. A GIS committee report was given explaining the need to get a website up and running for the county. The current website at pikecountyil.org was set up a year ago with basic information, but the committee would like to provide the public with more information, such as email addresses for county personnel, office hours, office contact information and forms that can be printed. “Apparently, Pikecountyil.org is being run by the sheriff’s department,” Jim Sheppard said.

Farmers State Bank appoints new president
IPA honors Pike Press at annual awards luncheon Pike Press was ranked among the best newspapers in the state in the recent Illinois Press Association (IPA) Editorial Contest. The newspaper took home two first place awards, a second and a third. Pike Press also received recognition in the General Excellence competition, placing among the top four newspapers in its circulation division with an honorable mention award. “Good use of photos, lots of local content, community focused,” the judge wrote. For the second year in a row, Pike Press editorial cartoonist Bill Beard bested all other entries in the state to bring home another first place finish. All cartoonists in the state are judged in one category without regard to the size of the newspaper. Again this year, Beard beat out an entry from the
Chicago Sun-Times. “This was simple yet had a strong message. Nicely done,” the judge commented. The other first place award for Pike Press was for Best Editorial Page. Commenting on the decision, the judge wrote, “The Pike Press, Pittsfield, has a winning combination of strong, local content and community involvement in the paper’s editorial page.” In what was described as a very tough set of entries, Doug Pool received second place for a sport photo entitled, “And they call the thing rodeo.” A series of articles by Beth Zumwalt chronicling a toy drive by Jade Peebles and her family won third place in community service. Zumwalt represented Pike Press at the IPA awards luncheon June 13 in Springfield.
Silent auction tonight A silent auction of original oil paintings by Pittsfield artist Marie Miles will conclude tonight, Wednesday, June 25, from 6-8 p.m. at Courtyard Café in Pittsfield.

offered by Farmers State Bank in the 1970s. Pike County landmarks such as the courthouse, Historic East School and Perry Church of Christ were among the scenes featured in the series. Many still life paintings by Miles are also part of the auction. All proceeds from the sale of the paintings will go the Pittsfield High School drama department.

Griggsville-Perry School board approves budget amendments By JEANETTE WALLACE Pike Press The Griggsville-Perry School Board held a budget hearing to amend the budget before its regular meeting Wednesday, June 18. The school was required to create a deficit reduction plan and has done that by cutting some of its services. One partial custodial salary from the education fund was transferred to the operations/ maintenance fund. Other discussion on the budget was about the abatement of $70,000 working cash to education, $36,000, and transportation, $34,000, funds as well as a loan from the operations/maintenance fund to the education fund in the amount of $34,000. The hearing adjourned at 6:55 p.m. and the budget amendments were approved during the regular meeting. The regular board meeting began at 7 p.m. and there was public comment from Mark Mountain requesting the
board to consider the possibility of setting up a junior high baseball coop with St. Mary's School in Mt. Sterling. "I know you've done some in the past…but I would appreciate it if you would consider it," Mountain said. Representatives of Adams Net gave a representation regarding their proposed project of installing fiber optic from the Griggsville building to the Perry building to provide better internet service at an improved speed to the school district. Adams requested a five year commitment for internet services at the same cost that is presently contracted for high speed services. The discussion was tabled until the next meeting. The board also approved several board policy updates, including updates to school district elections, board member conflict of interest, equal employment opportunity and minority recruitment, attendance and truancy, search and seizure, preventing bullying, intimidation and harassment, and student dis-
cipline. The firm milk bid from Prairie Farms, the bakery bid from Lewis-Sunbeam Baking Company and the grocery bid from Kohl's for the cafeteria/hot lunch program for the 2014/2015 school year was accepted by the board. "Prairie Farms was the only milk and dairy bid, but I think they're the only milk or dairy provider in the area," Andrea Allen, Griggsville-Perry superintendent, said. The resignations of Diane Vose, pre-K coordinator, effective May 30, 2014, and Leah Wilke, FACS instructor, were accepted. The board also accepted the letter of retirement from Rebecca Smith effective May 30, 2014. Denny Flesner was approved as junior high softball volunteer assistant coach for the 2014-2015 season. The board went into a one hour and 45 minute closed session at 7:35, prior to the general business meeting, and the meeting was adjourned at 9:46 p.m..

Farmers State Bank, headquartered in Pittsfield, announced the appointment of Nevin Grigsby as its new President at the bank’s 125th annual meeting of the board of directors. Grigsby succeeds his father, Lewis Grigsby, who has been president since 1995 and his grandfather who was elected president in 1965. Lewis Grigsby remains board Chairman and CEO.

His story has always inspired me and instills perseverance when facing challenges. “Even with banking on the internet and from a cell phone, our business still depends on personal relationships,” Grigsby said. “Our bank vision is that every customer feels like they are the only customer – every time. I am told this is how my great grandfather treated everyone, which I feel, is the reason he was so

Last week's poll results It’s the season for vacations. 1 More time to eat ice cream. 2. I can’t believe how fast the summer is going! 3. I love to watch for fireflies. 4. Are the Buffalo Gnats gone yet?
With the bang of a gavel, a regrettable chapter in Pike County history was closed. Last week, Judge Chet Vahle accepted the recommendation of special prosecutor Ed Parkinson and dismissed felony misconduct charges against Pike County Sheriff and Coroner Paul Petty. Lack of evidence was cited as the reason to dismiss the charge. It has been a stressful saga for many in Pike – the Petty family, first and foremost – but also for those working in any capacity in the county’s governmental, legal, judicial and law enforcement sectors. Will the county ever know for certain the factors which led former Pike County State’s Attorney Carrie Boyd to file the charges against Petty? Perhaps not. But what needs to be remembered is the affirmation by both the special prosecutor and the judge that Petty’s reputation as an innocent man should in no way be tarnished by one charge filed by one person. “This dismissal means that Sheriff Petty’s innocence of the charge against him has not been altered or changed, and no one in good faith and legally can say otherwise,” Judge Vahle wrote in his official order of dismissal. When the judge declared, “Case dismissed,” Petty supporters present for the proceedings burst into applause. That doesn’t happen often in Pike County courts. In this case, we feel it was entirely warranted. It is now up to Pike County to get busy restoring the effectiveness, trust and credibility of our entire law enforcement system. We wish Sheriff Paul Petty all the best as he resumes his work – head held high, no longer distracted – as Pike County’s chief law enforcement officer.

Eliminate pensions for elected officials
recent Gallup poll found that a smaller percentage of Illinois residents have trust in their state government than in any other state. Only 28 percent of Illinois residents evinced “a great deal” or “a fair amount” of trust in their state government. Rhode Island was next lowest at 40 percent and in several states such as North Dakota and Wyoming, three quarters of responders had trust in their governments. Gallup cited corruption in the state as a factor in this lack of trust. I have written in this space about how corruption and perceptions of corruption hurt our state. Businesses avoid us in part because of perceptions of corruption, and we feel less good about ourselves to think that we live in a corrupt state. I think we have developed over the past two centuries a culture of corruption. That is, too many of us think that if we can take advantage of our state government we might as well do so because everyone else would do so given the chance. Cultural norms can be changed, but it takes time. For example, we used to think it was cool to smoke, and now it’s not. The
same with drinking and driving. In the meantime, we can chip away at corrupt practices by, for example, taking the temptation for mischief out of harm’s way. Both big “C” (illegal) and little “c” (legal but still bad) corruption have sullied our state’s reputation. Abuses of pensions for elected officials represent an example of little “c” corruption. When I was active in government and politics I recall that near the end of each biennial legislative session a pension bill would move quietly, on cat’s paws, along the legislative process. The bill contained “sweeteners” that provided pensionable credits in a well-paid system like that for legislators and judges for unvested service earlier in a local government such as an assistant state’s attorney, park board official, or sanitary district commissioner. In the 1980s, such a bill included the change in a constitutional officer’s (governor, secretary of state and others) base for pension benefits from that of the pay of the Speaker of the House to the much

W
ell, another state legislator is heading to prison. You won’t hear much outrage in Springfield. Or dismay for that matter. In the grand scheme of things, the conviction of state Rep. Derrick Smith, D-Chicago, on bribery charges is picayune. You’ll hear it whispered around the statehouse: “He ‘only’ took $7,000.” That’s right. He took seven grand in exchange for writing a letter in support of a business receiving a state grant. Another legislator, LaShawn Ford, D-Chicago, is facing bank fraud charges. And last year, former state Rep. Connie Howard pled out on a felony charge that she was siphoning money that was supposed to go for college scholarships. Instead she spent it on herself. Let’s face it, prison has become the repository for many Illinois pols once their time in “public service” is up. Some embraced the penitentiary with panache. Former Gov. Otto Kerner showed up at the prison gate in a limousine and wearing a tuxedo. Gov. Dan Walker reported to prison wearing his Annapolis ring. That didn’t sit too well with the warden, a West Pointer. Gov. George Ryan was chauffeured to the Big House by another governor – James R. Thompson. And Rod Blagojevich was mugging for the cameras at a burger joint moments before entering the slammer. Illinoisans have become jaded
to criminality among those we elect. A few years back, some Springfield wag printed up bumper stickers that said, “My Governor is a Bigger Crook than Your Governor.” This kind of cynicism has metastases through the electorate leaving political tumors of apathy, inevitability and suspicion. There is no greater exploiter of this political cynicism than House Speaker Mike Madigan. Despite Smith’s indictment, Madigan threw his support behind his re-election this year. Madigan’s spokesman told the Chicago Tribune, the speaker supports Democratic incumbents and believes in “innocent until proven guilty.” Well, some of the time. I watched Madigan vote to impeach Blagojevich before he was ever brought to trial on corruption charges. When we hope for statesmanship in Springfield, we all too often end up with raw politics. Soon Smith will find himself behind bars. But will Illinoisans continue to imprison themselves with a legacy of indifference? Will we continue to tolerate the intolerable? Will we elect those wanting to serve rather than looking to take? Or will we expect more? Only time will tell. But let’s hope for the best. –––––––––––––––––––––––––– ■ Scott Reeder is a veteran statehouse reporter and the journalist in residence at the Illinois Policy Institute.

higher base of their own salaries. This action more than doubled retirement benefits for such elected officials, and at significant cost to the state in terms of unfunded liabilities. The worst abuse has been when a state legislator takes a government job for just a few months at a much higher pay grade than his legislative salary, thus increasing his base for pension benefits to the much higher state salary. One of the more egregious of these abuses occurred in 2011 when, according to the Chicago Tribune, Chicago alderman Edward Burke more than doubled the annual pension of his buddy, former state representative Bob Molaro, to $120,000. Burke had Molaro work for just one month in his city hall office, at $12,000 a month or $144,000 a year. This qualified Molaro for a legislative pension based on that six-figure amount, rather than one based on his much smaller legislative salary. What did Molaro do to earn his $12,000? He wrote a paper about the sorry state of our public pension systems, basically laughing at the taxpayers who will
pay the extra pension benefits for Molaro. Some of these games by ex-legislators have been prohibited, but not others. People seeking elected office at the state and local levels are not—certainly should not be—thinking about careers in office. They should not be thinking about pension benefits for what is for most part-time service. After all, we call it public service. So my associate Tom Johnson came up with a simple proposal: Eliminate all pensions for state and local elected officials in Illinois going forward, maybe excluding judges, whom we do want to serve many years. Instead, give the officials a 5 percent bump in their salaries and let them fund their own 401(k)s. This will remove all opportunities for mischief and will eliminate one of the odoriferous programs that have contributed to lack of trust in our state government. –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– ■ A former Illinois legislator and aide to three governors, Jim Nowlan is co-author of “Fixing Illinois: Politics and Policy in the Prairie State” (University of Illinois Press, May 2014).

Suggestions on ‘drive thru’ etiquette
What do the words “drive thru” mean to you? To me they mean service with minimal waiting, in other words, service should take place in as few minutes as possible. Recently I was in line at a bank drive thru and waited TWELVE MINUTES for the one customer ahead of me to get done with all her business. On Facebook, I have read of patrons who frequent a fast food establishment and are totally disgusted having to wait so long in line. I believe we have a few problems in this area that could easily be fixed. Here are some suggestions: 1. If you offer a drive thru at your business, put clear signs stating that only short business transactions will be conducted there. Any long term transactions, the person will have to come inside. And then stick with it. 2. If you are a customer who does business at a drive thru frequently, have all your business ready such as checks signed, deposits made out, payment papers filled out with check for payment made out, etc. or have your lunch order figured out with money out of your purse. Do not wait until you get up to the drive thru then decide to get things ready. Have some common sense as well as courtesy for those behind you. Also do not decide that this is a great time to visit with the person working the drive thru. Use a phone or send an email or friend them on Facebook. Wouldn’t it be awful if a vehicle ran out of gas waiting in line? Or how about if the line is so long that it causes traffic out in the street
to be backed up, or worse, causes an accident? A drive thru is meant to be helpful to customers who do not have a lot of time to waste and is also to eliminate waiting. Hopefully this editorial will enlighten customers and help businesses. WYVETTA DAVIS New Salem, Ill.
Many helping with flag program in Barry
Barry American Legion would like to thank everyone who has helped our flag replacement fund. A special thanks goes to Caitlin Lee. She has contributed $1,000.70 through her bracelet sales, and is still working to sell more! We have received nothing but positive comments on putting the 536 flags on display earlier than usual this year. Apparently, more people saw them because of that. I have received orders for seven new flags for display next year. We have replaced three older flags recently: JOHN S. BROWN, JAMES BOWEN and HARRY T. LEASE were showing signs of wear. Family has paid for James Bowen flag. If no family member comes forward to pay for John S. Brown and Harry T. Lease, those will be paid for out of the flag fund. If any Western students need to get their community service in next year, please consider the American Legion around Memorial Day!!! TOM MILLER Barry, Ill.

The Coonridge Digest: Freida Marie Crump
An unsettling glance in the mirror Greetings from the Ridge I’ll admit that this doesn’t happen often, but last week an alien spacecraft landed in the middle of the Coonridge Memorial Park. The tavern wasn’t open yet so there was no traffic to speak of and since I’d gotten most of my housework done I shuffled over to see if I could be of assistance. I’ve sat on plenty of church committees so I was used to deciphering strange tongues. Here’s the translation of our meeting as best I can recall: Freida: Morning. You folks lost? Alien: We had no idea this spot on your planet was inhabited. From what we could see from the upper altitudes there was no activity. (The extraterrestrial was a female and although her syntax was impeccable, her four arms threw me off for a moment.) Freida: That’s why most of us stay in Coonridge. Nothin’ happens and we like it. Anything I could help you with? Alien: We’re on a fact-finding mission. Perhaps if you could answer a few questions? Freida: Be glad to help. In Coonridge a housecoat
means you’re an expert. Alien: We’ve been monitoring your media. We read that 2.16 million earthlings viewed an Instagram photo of Kim Kardashian kissing Kanye West at their wedding. But our records show that these are people of no real importance. Freida: Your reports are right. They are of no importance. Next question. Alien: Uh…OK. When we flew through your atmosphere we noticed that your planet is surrounded by a growing blanket of carbon. Why aren’t you aware of this? Freida: We are. Alien: Then why don’t you take steps to reduce it? Freida: A third of us believe it, a third don’t, and the other third want to get elected. Alien: But. . . Freida: Don’t try to figure it out. It’s a lot like the Kardashian wedding. Alien: As we entered your biosphere we encountered an unbelievable amount of traffic on the airwaves. Our computers tell us that the average earthling teenager sends over 2,000 text messages per month and receives
“
A third of us believe it, a third don’t, and the other third want to get elected…. Don’t try to figure it out. It’s a lot like the Kardashian wedding.”
over 10,000. What are these text messages? Freida: Earthling teenagers live in fear of being left out. It’s a handheld babysitter, wet nurse, guidance counselor and video voodoo doll. Alien: But how do your young people support this expensive habit? Freida: Parental units who are looking at their own cell phones. (As we were speaking a jacked up Chevy with bass speakers passed the spaceship. I said, “Don’t ask.”) Alien: We have estimated that your planet holds 7 billion inhabitants. How do you sustain yourselves? Freida: I personally favor Steak and Shake, but an occasional Taco Bell goes down pretty well. Alien: But we find this strange inconsistency. You waste 40% of your food while one in eight of your planet’s population is starving. In fact, 30,000 die each day.
Aren’t you aware of this? Freida: We’re busy texting. Alien: Could you explain this thing called Congress? Freida: No. I changed the subject back to Kim Kardashian and within minutes the alien was bored out of her skull, thanked me for the chat, cranked up her space buggy and flew off. I was glad to see her go. There’s nothing so irritating as someone with the audacity to hold up a mirror when you’ve got your backside showing. You ever in Coonridge, stop by. We may not answer the door but you’ll enjoy the trip. ■ The imaginative commentary of Freida Marie Crump comes to us from Coonridge – a town that’s a lot like your own.
Pickings from
pike’s past
75 Years ago: Griggsville movie theatre burns 125 Years Ago June 20, 1989 Parts of the county were subjected Tuesday to a terrible outpouring of rain. There was no rain in Pittsfield, but the thermometer is bubbling way up. Well, at least one week has passed away without a heavy rain here in Pearl. The weather has been favorable in the Time area this week, corn has been plowed over twice, wheat is turning yellow and harvest will be here in 10 days. The new bell in Time is cracked and has a hole through it, which drowns the sound. It cannot be heard out of the corporation. The Pittsfield city dads are arranging for an analysis of the water of the town well, and everybody well endorses its being done. A large number of people from Milton and Montezuma township are getting health at Perry Springs. The place is being repaired from the effects of the late storm and the promise is for a more liberal patronage than ever. We hope so. Somebody had quite a smashup on the Griggsville road Saturday, as they left their spring wagon upside down and with one wheel gone. 100 Years Ago June 24, 1914 It seems likely that there will be no more prospecting for oil at the Shinn farm in the New Hartford district at the present time. Editor Swan of the Democrat and his family have quit the hotel and moved back to their home for the summer. They, however, are still taking their meals at the hotel. Considerable damage has been done dur-
ing the present drouth by fire from the engine of the Wabash trains, and last week fifty acres of wheat in the shock was burned on the H. R. Carnes place, a short distance east of Pittsfield junction. A. V. Wills of Pittsfield claims that less rain has fallen during the past two months than during May and June of any year since 1860, and yet the corn is in good condition and wheat is good. Put out a pan of water for the birds—they are having a hard time these hot, dry days. The big ocean to ocean road meeting at which Governor Dunne and other distinguished men are expected to be present, is being held a the Griggsville fair grounds this afternoon, and quite a number from Pittsfield will be in attendance. 75 Years Ago June 21, 1939 Griggsville’s Pike Theatre was totally destroyed by fire Tuesday noon. The fire threatened other structures, but the Griggsville fire department and the Pittsfield fire department were able to confine the fire to the one brick building, which was owned by Richard Wade. The village of Milton had a close call when a small tornado dipped down in the countryside southwest of town. The storm’s fury was felt in several homes in the area. Before reaching Milton the storm had touched down in Ross township, where Mrs. Cora Ralph and her 12-year-old daughter, Genevieve, were both injured while trying to round up some chickens. Much farmland in Pike county was flooded by the cloudburst that accompanied the storm.
The annual Nebo picnic was held at Sycamore Grove, one of the nicest parks in Los Angeles, California on the second Sunday in June. There were about 80 people present from Nebo, Independence and Pleasant Hill. On the second Sunday in August there is to be a combined Nebo and Pleasant Hill picnic at Griffith Park, also in Los Angeles. 50 Years Ago June 24, 1964 Five vehicles were involved in a chain reaction collision, which injured three persons at 10 o’clock Thursday morning, June 18 at the east entrance to the Florence bridge. The brakes failed on a grain truck, which struck vehicles waiting due to bridge repair work. Illini Hospital just received the gift of a painting by Mrs. James Miles of Pittsfield, sponsored by the Illini Service Guild. It is a painting of a grain barge going south on the Mississippi River. Mrs. Miles painted it in the vicinity of Clarksville, Mo. Miss Evelyn Jane Bonnet became the bride of Roger Dean Beard at 2:30 p.m. Sunday at the First Methodist church of Pittsfield. The Rev. Walter Theobald officiated in the ceremony. Maid of honor was Miss Judy Weil of Pittsfield. Attending the bridegroom was his friend, Robert Willard. Mr. and Mrs. Wendell Hall and Connie and Miss Vicki Graham returned home Thursday after spending several days in the Ozarks. Wendell returned to work at Clausen’s Monday. The foundation work began on Pittsfield’s new 10-lane bowling alley in West Pittsfield, and the roof was completed on the new office of Agriculture Stabilization and Conser-

Behind the hum of electrical power
T
hink about the most complicated machine you’ve dealt with in the past year. Was it a beeping monitor tethered to a high-tech device in an emergency room? Or was it a superfast computer you used at work? Actually, the most complicated machine you’ve interacted with was the one you used this morning when you switched on a light or plugged in your coffee machine. The entire power grid has to balance supply (generation) and demand (load) on a second by second basis. We take it for granted most of the time, but it’s a marvel when you stop to think about it. “The U.S. grid is the most complicated machine on the planet,” Bob Morris recently told me. Morris is an engineer who works at Schweitzer Engineering Laboratories (SEL). SEL sells electronic relays and other devices that help the grid function more safely and reliably. Morris showed me a map of the backbone of the grid in the U.S. It looks a bit like a national highway map with oodles of lines running across states. Those big power lines feed into smaller and smaller ones, all the way down to your house. You can see some of the grid’s complexity right in your neighborhood. Transformers at your local substation or hanging from power poles speak to some of what’s going on in the grid. And relays like the kind SEL manufactures control circuit breakers in the power lines. There’s a lot of redundancy in the grid. That means there are back-up routes through which power can flow if part of the grid is lost. Even if a power plant suddenly goes off-line for some reason, the grid is designed to
compensate for that and get power from other sources to where it’s needed. “Our grid is amazingly robust,” Morris told me. “We have the most reliable power in the world.” Just like cell phones, the grid has been getting “smarter” in recent years. Companies like SEL sell relays and other electronic devices that have added new capabilities to the grid. In the old days, when a line went down or shorted out, workers had to go out in trucks or helicopters to look for where the problem was. But increasingly, because of devices like SEL’s products, relays connected to the wires tell the utility company how far from a substation the fault is. This means that responses and repairs can be made much more quickly. When there is a problem in the grid, it’s the job of protective relays to isolate the faulted area. The instant there’s a fault or short-circuit, the current in the line jumps way up. “The relays are programmed to look for that and open a circuit breaker,” Morris told me. “It all happens in less than a tenth of a second.” As the grid gets smarter, it’s getting more reliable, even as it continues to grow. That’s the good news -- a fact I hope you’ll remember the next time you turn on a light. ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– ■ Dr. E.

vation services, also in West Pittsfield. Johnny Rion of radio station KSTL will hold services at the Bedford church Sunday. Everyone is invited to attend. 25 Years Ago June 21, 1989 Coach Tom Claxton took a Pittsfield junior girls track team to compete in the Prairie State games recently. The girls are Marcia Ruble, Andi Elliott, Kerri Summers, Karen Koncor, Stacy Johnson, Angie Walston, Michelle Lawton, Renita Curfman, Kerensta Horton, Christie Crawford and Heather Brokaw. Eric Kunzeman, a member of the Griggsville FFA chapter, was named Section 13 most active Greenhand. The award was presented at the state FFA convention June 14. Eric is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Larry Kunzeman. Mr. and Mrs. Melvin Miller of Barry have announced the engagement of their daughter Lisa to John E. Pennock, son of Mr. and Mrs. Everett Pennock of Pittsfield. A Sept. 2 wedding is planned at the First Christian Church in Pittsfield. Leslie Reynolds of Barry has been a leader in circulating petitions seeking an election on a merger of the Barry and West Pike school districts. The petitions are expected to be delivered today to Regional Superintendent of Schools Jim Steinman. 10 Years Ago June 23, 2004 Illini Community Hospital’s first phase of its 10-year, $10 million renovation plan has been able to stay on schedule for the first
month of work. “We’re right on schedule,” said Phil Craven, head of maintenance and operations at Illini and liaison between hospital officials and construction workers. The Pikeland board of education hired Don Bigley as Pittsfield High School’s dean and athletic director at the regular board meeting Wednesday evening. Last year Bigley was hired as an American history teacher and football coach. Last week, Gov. Rod Blagojevich announced that he is awarding JIREH, a tire retreading business in Barry, a $200,000 line of credit to create two new jobs and retain all 16 employees. Eric Dolbeare of rural Pleasant Hill, a member of the Pittsfield Rotary Club, will be inducted as governor of Rotary District 6460 Wednesday, June 30. Dolbeare is the second Pittsfield Rotary Club member to hold the district governor office. Dawson Dean of Griggsville served from 1987 to 1987. In the WBBA/Giovanni’s Pizza all-star game, the MVP for the north team was Jordan Harris of Barry, and the MVP for the south team was Brian Winchell of Pleasant Hill. Kayci Yelliott and Gavin Halpin were recipients of the American Legion School Award presented June 3 at the Pikeland Community School eighth grade promotion exercises. Merle Willard of Pittsfield American Legion Post 152 presented the award. Kayci is the daughter of Kenny and Traci Yelliott and Gavin is the son of Tim and Nancy Halpin. ■ Pickings from Pike’s Past is compiled by Michael Boren.
Outdoor Truths: Gary Miller

Consider the cravings
his time of year deer are craving salt and other minerals. The bucks need this during the time when their antlers are growing and they will literally eat the dirt if it contains traces of these raw materials. I have also seen huge holes dug deep in the ground where the deer have pawed and scratched day after day in order to reach any remnants that may be left. But it all happens within a small window of time. In fact, while they may dig for one small morsel in the spring and summer, they won’t even smell a salt block in the late fall and winter seasons. It’s pretty remarkable how complete the reversal really is and it’s one reason why in many states putting out salt for deer during the season is not illegal. It really doesn’t do any good unless your season opens in August or early September. Kentucky is one of those seasons that do, so it is not unusual to see this scenario lived out as you sit in a tree stand. One time I remember watching a doe so intent to get a taste that she literally ignored anything or anybody that was near. Her head was so far down in a hole, I could have walked up on her and she would have never known it. But again, this window of time is short-lived. What occurs to me when I am reminded of this is how this short timeframe is not due to the lack of the mineral’s availability but to the deer’s lack of desire. The craving simply goes away. The desire that was
once singularly focused has now been satisfied - at least for a time. Desire is a strong emotion. It can get us in trouble or it can become the reason for our success. It can make us dependent and even addicted or it can keep us motivated toward great accomplishments. And just like my deer is toward salt, desire can be satisfied. Now one might say that just as the deer is drawn to the mineral by his created design, we are drawn to our desires the same way. That is partially true because our body craves certain minerals at times as well. But those who believe in the Scriptures, believe that God designed man with more than a personality (because animals have these), but with the very essence of God Himself. He made us in His image. This means that while our bodies may desire things to fulfill our created design, our spirit desires the things that fit into our Godly one. And what is amazing about these desires is while our physical body will one day die because of the lack of certain things; our spiritual one will never die. It will just be moved to another place and to another body – one that will be perfect for the person God has made each of us to be. –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– ■ Gary Miller is an outdoorsman from Harrowgate, Tenn. gary@outdoortruths.org

Paul Ketterman has a century of good memories By BETH ZUMWALT Pike Press Paul Ketterman of Pittsfield turned 100 years old Sunday, June 22. He celebrated with his family and friends at the home of his son, Greg, north of Pittsfield. Ketterman said he was born June 22,1914 in Urbana, Iowa on a farm. “My father died when I was 15,” he said. “I had always worked on the farm but after that if I wanted to live, I had to work.” Ketterman joined the Marines in 1934 and worked with a guard duty unit for most of his military career. He served two years on the U.S.S. Arizona. “We worked on machine guns,” he said. “We kept the anti-aircraft equipment in shape.” Ketterman was first assigned to Quantico, Va. before serving the two years on the Arizona. His last year in the Marine was spent on Coronado Island near San Diego. “We either had to take a ferry to get there or drive 75 miles,” Ketterman said. While in the Marines, Ketterman was a member of the Marine rowing team, which won the big race in San Franciso, Calif., the year he was a member. After his term in the military Ketterman got a job in milk procurement for Dean’s Milk in
Indiana. “I would go out and talk to the farmers and get them to sell us their milk” he said. “I enjoyed being out talking to them.” Eventually, Ketterman and his
“I didn’t drink, I didn’t smoke, I didn’t tell dirty jokes.”
Paul Ketterman Pittsfield centenarian
brother, Ed, opened a lumber yard in Oak Forest. “It was right across the street from the fire house,” Ketterman said. “My brother and I both became volunteers because we were there all during the day.” Ketterman eventually became chief engineer of the department and also served as vice-president of the fire fighters club that met monthly. A serious accident happened to Ketterman while on the fire department. “A semi truck ran a red light and hit the fire truck in the side,”
Greg Ketterman said. “They took four of the guys to one hospital, but they took my dad to another. When they called my mom, they told her he didn’t make it to the hospital. She thought he had died.” Turns out Ketterman had a splintered hip and spent approximately two years in a hospital bed. Ketterman had married the love of his life, Mae Louise, Sept. 5, 1945. Together they had four children, Doug, Terry, Greg and Mary Beth. The couple celebrated their final wedding anniversary together in 2012 with Mae dying soon afterwards. “I love to fish,” Ketterman said. “She and I used to go fishing up in Wisconsin all the time. She may not have been a better fisherman than me but she was just as good.” Ketterman attributes his long live to clean living. “I didn’t drink, I didn’t smoke, I didn’t tell dirty jokes,” he said. Ketterman said his longevity is not genetic as his father died when he was only in his 50s and his mother died when she was around 80. “He did have a brother who played drums in a jazz band right up until the day he died,” Greg Ketterman said. “They knew something was wrong when he was five minutes late for work. He was never late. He was 89.”
(StatePoint) Most Americans understand the importance of saving for retirement but unfortunately, not everyone’s concerns translate to action. While 93 percent of working Americans know they should be contributing to their retirement, only 72 percent are actually doing so, according to the results of Capital One ShareBuilder’s Financial Freedom Survey (accessible at http:// tinyurl.com/n9zvksh). The same study found that while nearly threefifths of respondents plan to retire by age 65, almost the same amount of people fear they’ll never save enough for retirement. “Unfortunately, saving for the future is often put on the back-burner for what may seem like more pressing financial priorities, such as paying for children’s college education,” says Dan Greenshields, president of Capital One ShareBuilder, Inc. “Today more than ever before, individuals are responsible for ensuring their own financial security during retirement.” The earlier you begin to plan and save for your post-working years, the better, Greenshields stresses. Here are some top things to consider: • How much will you need to finance your retirement? Do you plan to move, travel or take up new hobbies? Also take in to account potential unexpected and rising costs, like healthcare. • You can estimate your retirement needs by identifying potential expenses, as well as by calculating the amount you might receive from each potential source of retirement income, such as Social Security, pensions, personal investments and employment earnings. • Don't be surprised if what you need to retire is a large sum -- since this money may need to support you for 20 or 30 years (or more).

Make the time to talk about your financial freedom.
Fortunately, there are ways to help maximize your retirement savings over time. • Investing early for retirement and contributing as much as possible to tax-advantaged employer-sponsored retirement plans and IRAs are two ways to help build your retirement dollars. • Automatically transfer a regular contribution from your paycheck to your retirement account. • In some cases, it may be appropriate to consider rolling over or transferring funds to an account without minimums. However, there may be some cases where leaving the funds may be the right decision. If you opt to rollover funds, Capital One ShareBuilder, an online investing platform, offers flexibility by allowing customers to trade stocks, exchange-traded funds, mutual funds, and options. More information about whether or
not you should rollover funds can be found at www.ShareBuilder.com. • Understand your time horizon, risk tolerance and goals. Generally speaking, your risk tolerances will change over time. • Make planning a family affair by scheduling times to discuss your financial future with your partner or family members over dinner, on a picnic or as part of a weekend getaway. • Consider working with a qualified financial professional to help ensure your retirement plan is on target. It is never too early or too late to get started -- and while it may seem daunting, there are quality tools and resources that might help you along the way. Sometimes it can be rewarding, perhaps even enjoyable.
Save time, prevent injury when doing yard work (StatePoint) While caring for your lawn can be pleasant, it needn’t take all day. Luckily, time saving tools can also save your body some wear and tear: • Water plants with a heavy-duty sprayer. Since gardeners are prone to knee injuries from repetitive pressure placed upon the area, a sprayer you can use standing up is a better choice. • More than 38,000 Americans sustained raking-related injuries in 2012, according to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission. For a more efficient collection of leaves, pine needles and grass clippings, consider using a high-performance lawn sweeper. • Save your back and some
time by avoiding wheelbarrows and over-the-shoulder hauling. Instead, move tools, soil, mulch and yard clippings quickly and with ease with a cargo carrier or utility cart. • Shave off hours off yard work while also avoiding the repetitive arm, elbow, wrist and hand movements that cause injury with a dethatcher that gently combs dead grass and roots to the surface where they can be swept up. For more advice on injury-free, efficient yard care, visit http:// www.toro.com/z-versatility. This season, make more of your days outdoors by spending less time doing chores and more time relaxing.

Get your grill on at CEC cook-off
By beth zumwalt Pike Press At least six teams have already signed up to participate in the Pleasant Hill Community Education Committee’s second annual cook-off at Hopewell Winery this Saturday, June 28. Judging will be at noon. “We have heard of a couple of late entries that may be coming,” Jeremy Wombles, one of the organizers, said. “Teams can still sign up. They can set up Friday evening or Saturday morning.” Last year’s the categories were pork butt, spare ribs and chicken wings. “This year we have added two new categories,” Wombles said. “A mystery meat, that the team can bring and cook, and a dessert category.” Entry fee is $75 and covers the traditional categories. A maximum of 10 teams will be accepted. After the meat is judged, nongrillers will be allowed to sample the entries and enjoy an afternoon on the Hopewell Winery shady lawn. Proceeds from the event go to improving technology in the Pleasant Hill School District or other classroom needs. Contact Wombles at 217-414-5107 or John Picone at 217-734-2091 to register or for more information.

PCHA improves performance ratings The Pike County Housing Authority based in Barry and serving all of Pike County it has obtained a score of 90 and High Performer Designation from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development for the most recently ended fiscal year 2013. “This is a great success story and achievement for the staff and the Pike County Housing Authority Board,” Chris Bruns, executive director, said Just two years ago the Pike County Housing Authority only scored a 66 for the fiscal year end 2011, which amounted to a substandard management designation. Soon after, Don Peebles, a trustee on the board was
appointed as interim director and served for approximately three months in that capacity. Bruns credits Mr. Peebles as a great steadying influence for the agency during a difficult time. Bruns was hired and the task of improving the score began. “We knew we had our work cut out for us, but it wasn’t completely clear how much until then,” Burns said. “As a result, we began the push to reverse course and get the ship righted, which led to a complete revamp of how we do business.” Bruns said a complete make over was required.
“We had to look at everything,” he said.” From office procedures to maintenance practices, no stone was left unturned in searching for the right mix in changing our identity.” The fruits of that effort led for the Pike County Housing Authority to receive a score of 76, standard designation, just one year later. “To have gone from a score of 66 to a score of 90 in two years is a remarkable accomplishment,” Bruns said. “Everyone involved with this should be very proud of what we’ve been able to do.” For further information please contact the Pike County Housing Authority C

By beth zumwalt Pike Press Over the past several years the city of Pittsfield has sponsored many programs to assure that as older trees die and have to be removed or storm damaged trees are taken down, that those trees are replaced. Action taken at last week’s city council meeting will assure that money was not spent in vain. “It’s an amendment to the tree ordinance,” Mayor John Hayden said. “It has been an unwritten policy but the tree committee would like to see it made as an amendment to the ordinance.” The amendment says if a resident hires a commercial tree contractor to remove a tree located on public property or the city’s right-of-way, the contractor is responsible for the clean-up and removal of the refuse and has 15 days to do the clean-up. The second portion addresses diseased trees. If a tree, located on public property or the city right-of-way needs to be removed, the city will do it during the winter months, unless it is a matter of public safety. The refuse will be taken the city brush pile and burned and will not be used as firewood. If a homeowner wants to take down a tree that is on public property, adjacent to his or her property, they must obtain a permit from the city. No fee will be charged, but the permit must be
obtained. Cutting down a tree on city property or right-of-way with out a permit will result in a $500 fine. If a healthy tree is taken down, without reason, the fine will be $100 per diameter inch of the tree. All person or companies removing trees must provide the city a certificate of insurance and name the city as an additional insured. The city also heard from Kenny Yelliott, police chief all three of the force’s squad cars have more than 125,000 miles on them. “I have found a program where the state of Missouri will sell squad cars from the Missouri Highway Patrol that have approximately 50,000 miles on them.”Yelliott said. “We can buy one of those, fully equipped for $16,500.” Yelliott said after the meeting the car will be a 2011 Crown Victoria and that South Jacksonville has used the program for years. “They have been able to see thousands of dollars,” Yelliott said. The council also approved a variance for John C. and Kathleen Hull to build an addition to their home on Higbee Street and for Wally Lindsay to put a cover over a fenced in area behind his building to keep it dry when he has bands on weekends. Alderman agreed it would be a good idea as it might contain some of the noise.

Claus turns 90
who is committed to the curricular and extra-curricular activities of Pikeland students. Nomination comments submitted about Heavner included: n Her dedication to her students goes well beyond the requirements of her contract. It is not unusual to find her at school at 8 p.m. working with her students on projects. n She instills within her students a great deal of responsibility. I am amazed that she can give them so many jobs to do in preparing for all of their activities, and yet the students gladly do them. I know that many parents only wish they could get that kind of cooperation from their children. n Her students are politically educated…they often ask more informed questions than members of the voting public. n Her community involvement is evident.

Pittsfield High School performs in Branson On Wednesday, June 4, the Pittsfield High School Concert Band set out for Branson, Mo. to enjoy the sites and showcase their musical talents. There were many exciting stops along the way. The students experienced an exciting dinner show at the “Dixie Stampede” and dined at Lambert’s Café in Ozark, Mo., “Home of the Throwed Rolls”. The students also enjoyed sight-seeing
around Table Rock Lake aboard the “Duck”, a World War II amphibious vehicle capable of going on land and water. Other highlights on the trip included shopping at the Branson Landing, Silver Dollar City, the Titanic Museum, putt-putt golf, bumper cars, and go-carting. Some of the more adventurous students conquered the “Skycoaster”, a 100 foot tall super swing that combines ele-
ments of skydiving and hang-gliding. The ultimate highlight of the trip had to be the Branson “On Stage Live” experience. On Thursday, June 5, the Pittsfield High School Concert Band, under the direction of Justin Bangert, had the pleasure of performing before “The Haygoods” at the Clay Cooper Theatre in Branson. The concert band put on an outstanding perfor-
mance for a sold-out audience of all ages and was recognized for their efforts. Bangert and the Pittsfield High School Concert Band were presented with a trophy, a picture, and a DVD of their performance to remember this once in a lifetime experience. “The Haygoods” also took the time to take a group photo with the band and sign autographs for each of the students.

QMG receives accreditation Cardiovascular diseases are the number one cause of death in the United States. On average, one American dies every 39 seconds of cardiovascular disease – disorders of the heart and blood vessels. The American Heart Association estimates that the direct and indirect cost for cardiovascular disease in the U.S. for 2010 was $503.2 billion. Early detection of life-threatening heart disorders and other diseases is possible through the use of Echocardiography procedures performed within hospitals, outpatient centers and physicians’ offices. While these tests are helpful, there are many facets that contribute to an accurate diagnosis based on Echocardiography testing. The skill of the Echocardiography monographer performing the examination,
the type of equipment used, the background and knowledge of the interpreting physician and quality assurance measures are each critical to the quality patient testing. Quincy Medical Group (QMG) has been granted a three-year term of accreditation in Echocardiography in the area of Adult Transthoracic by the Intersociety Accreditation Commission (IAC). Accreditation by the IAC means that Quincy Medical Group has undergone a thorough review of its operational and technical components by a panels of experts. The IAC grants accreditation only to those facilities that are found to be providing quality patient care, in compliance with national standards through a comprehensive application process including detailed case study review.

Farmers State Bank awards $1,000 scholarship County closes Highway 4 until mid-August

Barb McTucker of Farmers State Bank presents the $1,000 scholarship to Marie Rush.
CNN Money ranks JWCC in top 10 percent of community colleges nationwide CNN and College Measures ranked John Wood Community College in the top 10 percent for student success out of 788 community colleges rated in a report released this week. The ranking is based on JWCC’s success rate, calculated by the total number of enrolled students completing an associate degree in three years or successfully transferring to a four-year university. “We are extremely pleased to be in the top 10 percent, but we are always striving to improve,” Mike Elbe, JWCC president said. “Student success is our top priority and at the heart of our mission.” Elbe credits JWCC’s expert, dedicated faculty and strong academic advisors. “Our faculty is focused on helping every student, from every walk of life, gain core knowledge to have a strong start in college or enter the workforce with relevant skills employers want,” Elbe said. “Our advisors help students plan their courses efficiently, always mindful of their transfer plans, to make sure the transition to fouryear schools is seamless.” Although a positive mark for JWCC, Elbe noted that the report ranks student success based on a traditional student lifestyle and
timeframe. Many JWCC students define success by completing a few courses to gain skills for a promotion. Others may switch from full to part-time status while juggling family and full-time jobs, which extends the amount of time to complete a degree. “So many of our students are going to school while working full time and many are raising families simultaneously,” Elbe said. “Life gets in the way of completing a degree in the traditional two to three year timeframe taking 15 to18 credit hours a semester.” College Measures is a joint venture of the American Institutes of Research and Matrix Knowledge Group that reviews success rates of community colleges. JWCC’s success rate is 57 percent, which ties for 66th nationwide and ties for fourth among the 48 Illinois community colleges. Only Rend Lake, Kaskaskia and Sauk Valley in Illinois ranked higher. JWCC’s ranking also outpaced regional community colleges in Missouri and Iowa. Across the United States there are 1,655 community colleges. Of these, 1,047 are public institutions and 415 private. The CNN Money report included those institutions with more than 200 fulltime freshmen.
Wilmesher graduates from Missouri State Missouri State University (MSU) conferred 2,381 degrees to students during its three spring commencement ceremonies May 16 at JQH Arena. A total of 1,784 bachelor’s degrees, 553 master’s degrees, four specialist degrees and 40 doctorate degrees were conferred. Beyond the standard expectations, 174 students were recognized for their work with a more rigorous curriculum in
Missouri State’s Honors College. Scholastic honors were given to 91 students who graduated summa cum laude (with a grade point average of 3.9-4.0 on a 4.0 scale), 140 who graduated magna cum laude (with a GPA of 3.75-3.89) and 306 who graduated cum laude (with a GPA of 3.5-3.74). John R. Wilmesher of Barry graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Entrepreneurship.
Marie Rush, right, received the Farmers State Bank 2014 $1,000 Achievement Scholarship. Rush is the daughter of Richard and Lisa Rush. The scholarship is available to a graduating Pittsfield High School senior. Selection requirements for this scholarship are a student’s character, academic achievement and perseverance towards that goal, extracurricular activities, and good works. The recipient can be planning to attend any college or university, pursuing any field of study. Rush will be attending Quincy University where she plans to study nursing. According to Barb McTucker, Farmers State Bank Vice President, “Our young people are our most important asset. We feel strongly, helping students further their education is an investment in the future of our community.” Farmers State Bank awards scholarships in each area it has an office. According to McTucker, “the amount of scholarships awarded in 2014 will bring the total amount of scholarships funded to $117,000 since the bank began awarding them in 1989.”

By beth zumwalt Pike Press An amazing season on the links by the Monmouth College men’s golf team this spring was equaled by their performance in the classroom. Five Fighting Scots golfers posted perfect spring GPAs as exactly half the team earned academic honors. Senior Daniel Barger of Pittsfield was part of the program of excellence. In May, coach Dave Ragone’s team captured the program’s 13th conference title and the sixth in Ragone’s 14-year career. The team posted a respectable 311.09 scoring average, and an even more impressive 3.22 grade point average for the spring semester. “We always want good students and feel that good golf and good academics go hand-in-hand,” said Ragone of his 22-member team. “The nature of the sport takes the same characteristics to be successful as it does in the classroom. They have to have concentration, dedication, self-reliance and a strong work ethic. I’ve found our student-athletes tend to be highly competitive from within. They hold themselves to high standards in both the classroom and on the links.” That internal drive came to the forefront this spring when five of Ragone’s men turned in perfect 4.0 GPAs during the busiest portion of the golf season. Barger, an exercise major had a 4.0 GPA. “To earn a perfect 4.0 during their busiest semester of the year says a lot for the work ethic of these five young men,” praised Ragone. “We talk a lot about academics in our team meetings. Only five or six players can excel in the postseason, but they all can excel in the classroom.” Ragone’s charges must be taking his challenge to heart. Never before have the Scots had five players post perfect classroom scores during the season. “We’ve had two, maybe three guys with 4.0s in the spring, but never five,” Ragone said. “They have so much going on, not just academics and golf, but other extra activities. In addition to Ragone’s “Fab Five,” the Scots also placed six more players on the Dean’s List, meaning 11 of the 22 players earned academic honors for the spring semester. The veterans are showing the younger guys the importance of academics. They’re doing a good job of upholding and raising the standard for future teams.”

By beth zumwalt Pike Press Marsha M. Phelps 41, Saverton, Mo. plead guilty last week in Pike County Circuit Court to several charges of possession of a protected species – a misdemeanor. Phelps had been charged with committing license and permit fraud by declaring she was an Illinois resident in order to avoid paying non-resident fees and permit fees for harvesting sturgeon eggs known as roe. According to Illinois Department of Conservation officials, Phelps spent a total of $1,180 for licenses from 2010-2013 after falsely claiming she was an Illinois resident. She should have paid a total of $14,781.50 for the licenses as a nonresident. Phelps’s roe harvest reports from 2010-2013 indicate she sold a
total of $28,370 in sturgeon roe. “By having a fraudulently obtained license, any possession of any amount of the roe was illegal,” Chris Young of the Illinois Department of Natural Resources, said in April at the time of her arrest. Phelps will pay a fine of $357 plus costs and assessments on the misdemeanor charges she has pled to. She is also ordered to 24 months conditional discharge concurrent for each case. She is also to pay $1,000 restitution to the Illinois Conservation Police Operations Assistance fund. These charges were for violations occurring in 2012 and 2013 in Pike and Sangamon counties in Illinois. According to information in the Pike County Courthouse, Phelps allegedly harvested the sturgeon in Pool 22 of the Mississippi River that borders Pike County.

Pleasant Hill parade celebrating heroes By beth zumwalt Pike Press
Committee selling T-shirts
The theme of this year’s Pleasant Hill Fourth of July parade is Small Town Heroes. Line up starts at 10 a.m. at the Pike County Fairgrounds. Participants can pre-register or get more information by contacting parade coordinator Sally Ward at 217-491-4185 or 217-734-2913 or email: saljoward@yahoo.com. The Parade Grand Marshalls of the 2014 Pleasant Hill Fourth of July Celebration are Phyllis Martin and Barb Johnston. Their husbands, Jerome Martin and Donnie Johnston, both served with the Pleasant Hill Fire District for many years and have been greatly missed in the community since their passing. “Phyllis and Barb, as well as their husbands, are great examples of our greatest small town heroes,” Sally Ward, parade organizer, said. “Whether it be serving on boards, organizing community events, helping neighbors or strangers in need, these folks exemplify all the qualities that make living in Pleasant Hill wonderful. We are thrilled to honor them at our parade.” Organizers are encouraging the use of creativity in expressing the parade’s theme in all entries. Prizes will be awarded in three categories: best theme, most patriotic, and Miss Pleasant Hill’s choice. All entries are welcome: walking groups, floats, trailers, decorated ATVs, bicycles, antique vehicles, and horses. Winners will be announced from the Laugharn Stage at the Pleasant Hill Park shortly after the parade. “Come join us as we celebrate our nation’s independence and the freedoms we all enjoy, but sometimes take for granted,” Ward said.
T-shirts with this year’s Pleasant Hill 4th of July celebration logo are available and proceeds from the shirt sales will help with expenses for the celebration. The logo is on the front of the shirt and features insignias of local groups involving “heroes” – veterans, active duty military, those missing in action, fire department, law enforcement and EMT and other emergency service health care personnel. The shirt has a red, white and blue color scheme. The shirts are Gildan Ultra cotton in a sports gray color and come in youth sizes small

Orr also said that it’s very important for all members of the healthcare community to constantly explore new areas and skills that can lead to better care for their patients. “Education is a life-long experience,” Orr said. “As healthcare professionals, we never stop learning. I find it exciting and positive to work in a culture that anticipates and assists the staff to embrace this belief. It is just as fun to see new nurses begin to understand things as it is to witness more experienced nurses undertake a new paradigm of thought and make it their own.”

Grafton Harbor boat tours and rentals each weekend this summer
By Bob Crossen Pike Press Visitors in Grafton can reserve a spot on a cruise or paddle up and down the river in a rented boat with the Grafton Harbor this summer. Grafton Harbor began its boat tour and rental services last year with numerous offerings, but this year, Amanda Dufer, cruise director, said the business narrowed its options. Dufer said the cruises take place at 3 p.m. Friday, Saturday and Sunday each week in Grafton with the option for those interested in private parties to rent the boat. There are also sunset cruises on the second and fourth Saturdays each month. Last year themes including a shipwreck cruise and wine tasting cruise were offered, and Dufer said those will fall under the private party option. “It just turned out to be way more work than we could handle to do all those individual cruises like that,” Dufer said. “So we’ve kind of made it to where if you have a birthday party or if you have an idea for a specific kind of cruise, we’ll book your private cruise and help you accomplish that.”
She said the business is making a push for private cruises which have ranges in cost based on how many people take part in the cruise and the time of day. The regular one-hour tours offered throughout the weekend cost $18 for adults, $16 for seniors 63 and older, $9 for children ages 3 to 17 and $4.50 for infants. Dufer said staff on the boats talk occasionally about areas along the river while the cruise boat, Hakuna Matata, ferries the passengers on the waterway. She said passengers can bring any kind of food they would like onto the boat, but outside drinks will not be allowed as a cash bar is available for cruise-goers who will enjoy live music and dancing. In addition to cruises, patrons at Grafton Harbor can rent pontoon boats for a set number of hours which they can use to travel up the Illinois River and back. Dufer said the boat rentals are a popular destination for tourists in the summer, noting the boat offerings have been cut back from last year. “We’re only promoting our pontoon boats. We’ve had a little bit of mechanical problems with our runabout boats,” Dufer said, “but we have the pontoon rentals and they are going over really
well.” The pontoon boats have a capacity of 10 people with a twohour rate of $148, four-hour rate of $208 and eight-hour rate of $348. Dufer said those interested in either the boat rental or the cruises should call ahead to reserve a spot. Guaranteed reservations are available when using a VISA, Mastercard or Discover card to pay beforehand. For more information about the offerings, visit graftonharbor.net.

Grafton
Grafton is a picturesque small community nestled between the Illinois and Mississippi Rivers and the beautiful limestone bluffs that run the length of the National Scenic Byway (Rt. 100). Alan Solomon of the Chicago Tribune named the Great River Road, “one of the ten greatest drives in the nation.” The city is both beautiful and exciting place to visit. Tourists from far and near come to our charming historic river town to enjoy our wineries, a wide variety of dining establishments, our shops and our river view eating drinking spots. We encourage visitors to “Come for a Weekend and Stay for a Lifetime.” There’s fun for the whole family, Raging Rivers Water Park, Para sailing, Zip line, and cruises on the Hakuna Matata. Grafton is not only an exciting place to visit, it is also a great place to live. The quality and variety of real estate development is attracting a host of prospective buyers. Giving beautiful lots to people who build a home in Grafton Hills has generated national attention. Grafton is open. The Grafton ferry is open. The City of Grafton will have a spectacular fireworks display on July 5th, 2014 next to loading dock.
