Touchdown! Members of the Maxie-Pad team celebrate a touchdown by Suzanne Bagent, who scored despite defensive pressure by Liz Lemons, a member of the Max’s Angels team. Other players, left to right, are Derick Montgomery, Hannah Roig, Katie Zumwalt, Julia Turnabaugh and Kris Zumwalt. The teams were playing in the 3rd annual Sturbie Bowl named after Max Zumwalt. Proceeds from the tournament are divided between the Max Zumwalt scholarship fund and the Saukee football program.

By beth zumwalt Pike Press With Illini Community Hospital involved in a major renovation project and the Pike County Health Department planning an addition to the dental clinic at the corner of Adams and Franklin, the area should be busy this summer. Hospital renovation started Monday, July 7 and the health department project is due to start later this month. The Pike Couny Health Department is planning a 2,250 square foot, $266,077 addition to the building they acquired last year. Although, the plans for the PCHD have had to be scaled back due to the bids coming in higher than expected, Anita Andress, administrator, says the building will still serve the agency’s needs. “The dental clinic took up most of the north portion of the building,” Andress said. “So we will have office space in the south wing and the new addition will house four administrative offices plus a conference/classroom and additional restrooms.”

Andress said there is also a basement in the building and that may be used for family planning, family case management, WIC, communicable diseases, which would include immunization clinics and environmental health. Andres said parking will be a concern but says it is at the existing building as well. “With Quincy Medical Group across the street to the north and a new restaurant to the west and the fact Farmers State Bank owns half the lot, our parking is compromised here, too,” she said. “There is parking on all four sides of the building and we have taken down a fence and some trees, hoping to make some more spots available.” Andress said she thinks the fit between the Pike County Health Department and the new dental clinic for lower income children, and soon to serve adults, will be a good fit. The PCHD is the overseer of the dental clinic. “We currently have 600 clients at the clinic,” Andress said. “That’s a little disappointing but as of July 1, adult Medicaid benefits have been restored, so we are hoping to have adults take advantage of our services, also.”

With only a small amount of water in the east bound lane in one isolated area, both lanes were open but vehicles were asked to avoid the water. Flagmen were present throughout the day and barricades were set up. The bridge had closed Sunday, July 6 after predictions showed water would cover the road just east of the bridge, near the corner, adjacent to the turn lane for the marina. Several storms crossed Iowa and northern Illinois over the weekend, but according to the hydrology report issued by the Army Corps of Engineers, the Mississsippi should continue to drop and be out of flood stage by July 27 with steady drops every day, except July 19 when there is no predicted reduction. U.S. 96 was still closed at Mozier as of Monday afternoon. The Illinois River has only had minor flooding issues and has had no main road closures.

Barry City Council allows zoning for marijuana By MICHAEL BOREN Pike Press The Barry City Council amended the zoning ordinance July 7 to allow cultivation and dispensary of medicinal marijuana in areas zoned for business or industrial use. Mayor pro tempore Steve Schultz presided in the absence of Mayor Shawn Rennecker; Alderman Bob Dieker was absent, so the amendment achieved final passage by a 4-0 roll call vote of Scott Harris, Debbie Harshman, Jeff Hogge and Bruce Kendall. Public Works Director Melvin Gilbert reported that the summer helpers were doing a lot of weedeating, painting, patching and other miscellaneous jobs. The summer workers are Keaton Baker, Sterling Hanlin, Tanner Smith, Shelby Hullett, Haden McCarter and Chase Brown. City Administrator Lance

Kendrick reported that the grant through the Illinois Department of Natural Resources has saved the city over $5,000 in payroll for the swimming pool workers. He said that the windows were going to be removed from the Haskins and Lister buildings, and then they would be demolished. The council voted to donate $500 to the Barry Food Pantry. They also agreed to allow local insurance agents to make a presentation about providing the city’s insurance. The current city insurance is provided through the Illinois Municipal League. The budget appropriation ordinance for the fiscal year ending April 30, 2015 was also approved. A special events permit ordinance was discussed. It includes allowing beer and wine to be served for certain events. It will be voted on next month.

Summer work has taken on an all new meaning for South School and Pittsfield High School this summer. The two schools are getting new windows, doors and a bell/clock system. Once the doors and windows are installed, trim work finished and blinds installed, regular maintenance crews will be in to wax the floors and prepare for the 2014-15 school year. This room next to the guidance office is one of the rooms nearest completion with only some trim work to be finished and blinds to be installed.

The Pike County Democratic Central Committee met last night at the Cardinal Inn in Pittsfield and selected Matt Goetten as the party's candidate for the state's attorney's special election. A special election is necessary after Carrie Boyd resigned in May with more than 28 months left in her term. "Mr. Goetten is well qualified for the position, having served as the Greene County State's Attorney from 2004-2012 and as a special prosecutor since," Rick Toumbs, chairman of the committee, said. "We are grateful for Matt's service to Pike County to date and look forward to helping him win in November."

Toumbs said Goetten was recommended to the committee by many currently working with him and by Brett Irving, who had previously expressed interest in the position but withdrew his name, citing family reasons. Goetten is currently serving as the interim Pike County State's Attorney, after being selected by the Pike County Board after Boyd's resignation. Goetten, a veteran of Afghanistan, received his bachelors and masters at the University of Illinois and received his law degree from Southern Illinois University.

By BETH ZUMWALT Pike Press The East Pike Fire Department provided traffic control and at-theready emergency services Saturday afternoon, one mile south of Milton, along Rt. 100. According to Mike Spann, fire chief of the East Pike Fire Protection District, the department was paged out to a gas leak.

Apparently a farmer, mowing, did not see the standpipe and hit it with the mower. Spann said the farmer was unaware of striking the pipe due to the noise of the tractor until a passing motorist notified him. According to Spann, approximately six firefighters were on the scene from 1 to 5 p.m. providing assistance.

Pike County is at

nance, mostly dealing with lubricating the bridge's moving parts. Some maintenance done earlier in the year caused the bridge to be closed on one lane, and there is one other maintenance item to address in the coming weeks that will require a one day closure of the bridge to highway traffic to repair. "No official date has been set, but we hope to have it completed by harvest season," Paris Ervin, bureau chief of communication services at IDOT, said.

Our View construction projects

Celebrate building upgrades

Many other building and maintenance projects are going on in Pikeland and in all schools in the county. Cities and villages are taking advantage of the summer season to do maintenance work, many hiring young workers to help with the tasks. The Illini Hospital construction project is in full swing, to be followed in short order by work on the new Pike County Health Department facility. Great progress has been made by Carpenters for Christ on the new Baptist church in Pleasant Hill. Public entities aren’t the only ones sprucing up. Businesses and private homeowners also have projects in mind. The Findley Place facility for seniors in Pittsfield is nearing completion. Several new cell phone towers are going up around the county. Entrepreneurs are rehabbing buildings, just because they believe there will be a demand. And homeowners who remodel and build on are also making their statement about Pike County. They are saying this is a fine place to live and work, and we want to stay here. New construction and building upgrades mean jobs in our community. They also create a more appealing environment, visually and functionally. Enjoy the sounds of hammers and band saws! Pike County is on the move!

Please practice what you preach

udos to Gov. Pat Quinn. The governor vetoed a measure that would greatly restrict an ordinary citizen’s ability to file Freedom of Information Act requests. I don’t agree with the governor on a lot of things, but this veto was the proper response to a very bad bill that would have charged ordinary citizens fees as great as $100 if they file request for large documents or make multiple requests in a short period of time. Sometimes government officials forget just who they work for. The FOIA is a powerful tool. During the course of my journalism career I have filed more than 5,000 FOIA requests with more than 1,000 governmental entities. And I’ve uncovered a great deal of waste, fraud and abuse. In the years I was a City Hall reporter, I saw plenty of instances where those in

power gave ordinary citizens the brush off. Folks who showed up at city council meetings to listen and speak at the end were labeled “cranks.” Those who filed FOIA requests were called troublemakers. But let’s not forget that government belongs to the people, not the bureaucrats. Our lawmakers lost sight of that during the waning days of this year’s legislative session and passed a bill that penalizes citizens for filing FOIA requests. We should be encouraging ordinary people to find out more about their government, not discouraging it. Here is what Quinn had to say in his veto message: “House Bill 3796 is a bill that reduces government transparency by limiting the ability of citizens to seek public records under the Freedom of Information Act.

The bill as proposed would make it more difficult for citizens to obtain a large volume of records. It would also slow down the process for individuals who lack electronic means to request or obtain information. Such burdens on the public penalize anyone seeking to learn more about their government.” So, our governor deserves our praise for vetoing this measure. But I only wish he would practice what he preaches. On Dec. 12, 2012, I filed a request with the Illinois Department of Corrections seeking documents relating to how well (or poorly) the state spends our money when providing health services to inmates. I’m still waiting for the Quinn administration to turn over the documents. After stonewalling my requests, the administration is now fighting it in court. No

telling how much in tax dollars it is spending to just to keep these documents secret. I also filed a FOIA Oct. 15, 2013 for copies of some emails the governor’s Office of Management and Budget sent and received during a six-week period. The administration is digging in its heels and not releasing those documents either. So we are fighting it out in court. What is the administration hiding? We won’t know until the documents are turned over. One thing is clear, while the Quinn administration talks about openness and government transparency, it doesn’t always practice it. –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– ■ Scott Reeder is a veteran statehouse reporter and the journalist in residence at the Illinois Policy Institute.

An ancient American woman buried by the sea

need to get a cap on my front tooth redone -- it has a significant chip in it. Luckily I live at a time in which dentists are in every city and town, plying their trade in ways that can help us each day. A young woman who scientists are calling Naia was not so lucky. She lived about 12,000 to 13,000 years ago in what’s now the Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico. A recent article in New Scientist reports that Naia’s teeth have a number of large cavities in them. Her mouth likely hurt a lot when she was alive. The name Naia comes from a derivative of the Greek for “water nymph.” Naia’s remains got their name because they were found in a flooded cavern. She was covered by water owing to ancient climate change. During the end of the Ice Age, when Naia lived, sea level was a great deal lower. Worldwide, glaciers

melted as major climate change moved the globe in a warmer direction, so sea level rose. The waters covered Naia’s remains, helping preserve them for modern divers to discover. Naia probably fell into a sinkhole in the rock of the area where she lived. She was not alone. Animals also fell into the hole, as we know from their remains. Some of the animals were creatures like giant sloths and sabertooth cats -- creatures that went extinct between their time and ours. But some of the animals, like the puma or cougar, are still with us. All of their remains were covered, along with Naia, by water as sea level rose. While Naia’s remains don’t represent a complete skeleton, they constitute more than just a skull. There are complete arms and shoulders, one leg, and a pelvis. But back to Naia’s teeth. They show cavi-

ties and pits around the gum line, leading scientists to think Naia ate a lot of fruit or honey. Her small size and delicate bones suggest she may not have eaten much meat. And she may have gone hungry a good proportion of the time. Naia’s bones contain a special type of DNA known as mitochondrial DNA. Actually, all of us have mitochondrial DNA -- it’s passed down from mother to child. I sometimes call this type of genetic material “mama-DNA.” Different populations of humans have different mama-DNA. Naia’s mama-DNA indicates she is related to ancient groups of people who lived in eastern Siberia. This fits with the view that North America was populated by people who crossed from Siberia to northern North America over a land bridge exposed because sea level dur-

ing the Ice Age stood so very low. Naia’s discovery in a flooded cave is an exciting development for archeologists and other researchers who study early human history in the Americas. We doubtless have a lot to learn about the people who first reached our shores. But with each discovery of bones and teeth we come a bit closer to understanding the earliest history of those who originally populated our continent. –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– ■ Dr. E.

Lincoln embroiled in Illinois politics, again

he Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum (ALPLM) is a popular tourist attraction in Springfield, with nearly 4 million visitors going through the turnstiles since its opening less than a decade ago. The Trip Advisor website notes that nearly 1,300 of 1,400 reviews of the attraction give it the top, “excellent” rating, which is a resounding testimonial. But there is turmoil at the museum, and cool heads need to prevail to chart a clear, positive future for the ALPLM. In the late 1990s, former governor George Ryan pushed the idea of a museum honoring Lincoln for the state capital. A presidential library designation was added to attract federal dollars for the $167 million complex near the old state capitol in Springfield. Politicking at the time determined that the ALPLM would be under the small Illinois Historic Preservation Agency, which oversees 57 historic sites around the state. Three boards were created to oversee and advise the agency and ALPLM, which has become part of the problem. There is the historic preservation agency governing board and both foundation and advisory boards for the ALPLM. Each would like to run the library-museum. Problems abound at the ALPLM. It has never been accredited. The position of state historian has been vacant since 2011, and other key vacancies exist. There have been five directors in less than a decade.

And there is no strategic or financial plan for the ALPLM, according to a 2012 evaluation by advisory board member and retired academic Richard Meister. Since 2005, the ALPLM has lost nearly half its staff, from 120 down to 65, observes Meister. In the same period, the overseeing historic preservation agency has taken budget cuts of 40 percent, in addition to a 10 percent cut just this year alone. Enter politics. In frustration that the overseeing agency was not paying attention to the concerns of the ALPLM advisory board and was “hobbling” its efforts, advisory board chair Steven Beckett drafted a bill this past year that would separate the ALPLM into a free-standing agency, separate from historic preservation. Speaker of the House Michael Madigan, a personal friend of ALPLM’s executive director, picked up the bill and tried to ram it through the legislature in the last week of the spring session of the General Assembly. Seeing its crown jewel slipping away, the historic preservation agency cried foul and mounted an attack on the bill, which passed the House 84-29 and now resides in the state senate, awaiting action. Beckett, a University of Illinois law professor, says the present flow chart for ALPLM doesn’t make any sense. He simply hoped the legislature would deliberate on what might be the best course for the librarymuseum for the future. There is at least one option in addition to

the free-standing ALPLM. This would be to throw up one’s hands and turn the operation over to the National Archives and Records Administration, which operates most presidential libraries. This is the preference of Tony Leone of Springfield, who in the past has served on both the agency board and ALPLM advisory board. He calls the present situation a “disaster” that cannot be reconciled by the several, contending boards. Leone notes that in the 1970s, the state of Illinois turned over the Lincoln Home in Springfield to the National Parks Service, which operates the site quite nicely. Beckett’s free-standing ALPLM option would impose some costs, which the historic preservation agency puts at $2.4 million out of its $7.8 million agency operating budget. The ALPLM would need, for example, its own administrative, budget, human resources and legal staffers. By the way, Illinois and its rich tapestry of history are lost in all this. The Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library is the renamed old Illinois State Historical Library, where I have done research over the years. The importance of Lincoln, the budget woes and staff vacancies have put Illinois history in the shadows, which is unfortunate as we approach our state’s 2018 bicentennial celebration. We need to call in experts from the American Alliance of Museums and the American Library Association to provide the legislature

The Coonridge Digest: Freida Marie Crump

Where have all the flowers gone? They’re not on my phone Greetings from the Ridge We were thrown into crisis mode. I had never seen my friends in such a panic. No fire, earthquake or flood could have affected our region so drastically, and the effects of the catastrophe still linger today in frayed nerves and irregular heartbeats. Last week the AT&T cell phone network went down and the world of some folks came to a crashing halt. Social media lit up immediately with cries of pain and anguish. With cell phones out of commission some folks had apparently lost the will to live. I had just read an article on the Chilean miners trapped underground in 2010 and the moans of the hopeless seemed eerily reminiscent. One Facebook addict wrote, “I’m helpless, man! What am I supposed to do?” The kid wasn’t floating toward Niagara Falls in a barrel or being attacked by bobcat while mushrooming. He was simply sitting in his comfortable, air-conditioned home. “I’m helpless, man!” Within minutes the screams of panic went viral as texting became impossible. Mothers were helpless to know that their daughters were doing in the next room, teenagers were trapped in the terrifying situation of not knowing where their friends were going, entire families were forced to eat their evening meal simply looking at each other with no glowing screens to divert them. A few desperate souls actually had to ditch their phones and turn

on their computers to see if the entire world had been destroyed or simply their neighborhood. I was watching a PBS show on the San Francisco earthquakes and thought to myself, heck that’s nothing. What’s an entire downtown district or a couple thousand lives? It could have been their cell phones. I went out onto the porch to make sure that Coonridge was still intact and saw my neighbor girl, Jenny Parsons, wandering around aimlessly in her front yard. “Nice night, Jenny!” I hollered. She looked at me, dazed. “Huh?” I said, “Nice night!” Again, her blank stare, then, “Oh. Yeah. I guess so.” Jenny’s a sweet little girl and I’ve never known her to partake in any of the dangerous habits that plague so many in her generation, but it was if she was on drugs. I shouted, “You OK?” Again the wideeyed stare and, “I don’t know. My phone’s dead, Freida. I can’t get ahold of anybody.” I reminded her that she and I were talking at that very minute but that seemed to have no effect. That’s when something remarkable happened. Jenny stopped her aimless pacing, looked across the small expanse of lawn that separated our two houses and said, “Those flowers. They’re pretty.” The row of hibiscus had been blooming for a month. I said, “You just now noticed them?” Jenny looked at me a moment, then, “I guess so. I like them.” Jenny parks her car right beside the Parsons’ house every day, walks right past the flowers but until the cell tower went down she had no idea

“

Mothers were helpless to know that their daughters were doing in the next room, teenagers were trapped in the terrifying situation of not knowing where their friends were going, entire families were forced to eat their evening meal simply looking at each other with no glowing screens to divert them.”

they were there. Oh, the humanity. I didn’t conduct a townwide poll, but I wondered what similar revelations were taking place all over our little village and around the area. This tragedy was not akin to the days when the rural phone service would go out for days at a time. The old phone that you’d place on the coffee table to make calls was simply a phone. Today’s cell phones have become vital arteries to the rest of the world. Even the tiniest citizens of our planets are now hooked into the contagion and the time is not far off when a cell phone will make the perfect gift to take to a baby shower. Watch teenagers deprived of cell phone access for even a short time. They need a life support system as their breathing gets shallow and sweat breaks on their brow. Rod Serling once wrote a Twilight Zone script called, “Nightmare on Elm Street,” in which two aliens landed in a peaceful American neighborhood with the inten-

tion of conquering the earth. They didn’t use ray guns or bombs, simply a light switch. The two mysterious figures stood on a high point overlooking the town and caused a few lights to go out. At times they’d leave only one light on in a neighborhood and slowly the residents of Elm Street began converging upon the electrified house, assuming that the residents there had caused the problem. The situation soon cascaded into death threats. Serling’s point was that when we’re in trouble we immediately look for a scapegoat, but he might just have easily been talking about our reliance upon gadgets instead of humanity. Serling’s episode ended with a slow pan down the street full of rioting neighbors. We were lucky. AT&T restored the phone service. ■ 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

25 Years ago: Street named for Miss Helen Harman 125 Years Ago July 11, 1889 We think the people of Pittsfield are anxious for an electric light plant. Let us enjoy life in one of the handsomest and most pleasant villages in the west. The wheat harvest is mostly finished. One of the Stoltes of Levee township expected from eight acres of wheat, 25 bushels to the acre, and was agreeably surprised with 42 bushels to the acre. Dow bought 2,000 bushels of wheat, last year’s crop, from J. Y. Rush of Fairmount, paying 70 cents at the bin, seller to sack. The Ladow brothers of Pleasant Hill tried the experiment of cutting wheat with a traction engine last week. It was, and can be, made a success on level, hard ground. We learn that Jerome W. Rush of Fairmount sold 140 hogs less than a year old, averaging 340 pounds each. If anyone has done better, let him speak. Even the little boys in Pearl have a bad streak. The other day a crowd of small girls got up a private picnic and took their dinners with them to the creek bottom. Some of the boys who knew of this went to where the girls were and drove them home with clubs and sticks and broke their dishes. We think the boys’ parents ought to be made to pay a fine and then punish them. While walking around Sunday in Perry, we discovered in William Winter’s garden a tree loaded with ripe peaches, the first we had seen this season. It was all we could do to keep on the outside of the fence. 100 Years Ago July 15, 1914 The new $200 sanitary refrigeration counter that the Davis meat market installed in Pittsfield yesterday is about the “up-to-datest” contrivance ever seen here. Step in and buy a hunk of meat and Fred will show you

how it works. The Democrat office received a pleasant call yesterday from Editor Parisho, of the Pearl Tribune and Smith Crowder, also of Pearl. Mr. Parisho is president of the town board at Pearl. City attorney and Mrs. Edwin Johnston and children have gone to Florence, where they will spend several weeks camping, as has been their custom for several years. Mrs. Floyd Allen entertained the night auction bridge club at its last meeting for the season Thursday night. The club will indulge in a basket picnic week after next. Miss Mary V. Garvin announces her candidacy for the democratic nomination for county superintendent of schools. She has eight years of teaching experience, including two years as high school principal. Dr. W. H. Winterbotham and his daughters have been here from Salina, Kans. They came through in a car with daughter Nellie doing the driving, and in three days covered the 500 miles between here and there. For two days of the trip the mercury stood at 104 in the shade and the trip was therefore a warm one. The Pittsfield city administration has decided to strictly enforce the ordinances relative to license and tags for dogs. All owners of dogs will be required to purchase a tag. 75 Years Ago July 12, 1939 The third annual Griggsville Soap Box Derby, sponsored by the Griggsville Kiwanis Club, is announced for Saturday, July 22. Boys from ages 10 to 15 are eligible to enter. Indications of oil have been found in the drilling of a well on the Alonzo Newton farm, two miles east and three miles north of Fish Hook. Pike county’s corn crop is two or three

weeks ahead of usual. It looks like we might have the largest corn harvest here since 1918 when the county husked more than 5 million bushels. The Pittsfield business section is being marked for angle parking to conserve space around the square. King Ellis, a Pike county pacer, owned by Mr. and Mrs. R. L. Harp, was third in three heats on the half-mile track. Horses were entered from Wisconsin, Indiana and all parts of Illinois. Maximum temperatures July 4 through July 10 were 92, 94, 95, 99, 92, 90, and 85. Minimum ranged between 67 and 77.

dominating the roster. Gary P. Dunham of New Salem and Maurice L. Neese of Pearl, 1964 graduates of Pittsfield high school, are among the 606 new freshmen who have been accepted into the University of Illinois Edmund J. James honors program for superior undergraduate students. Miss Alice Fisher and friend, Dudley Motley, of Bloomington, visited with relatives in Nebo over the weekend. Among the best exhibitors at the 1964 Western Illinois Fair in Griggsville were John Pennock, Emmett Bagent and Marilyn Bauer.

50 Years Ago July 15, 1964 The problem of staffing the small schools of Unit 10 was one that occupied the board of education at its July meeting last week. Supt. J. H. Voshall told the board that only “native sons” who prefer to live in the area are interested in some of the positions. For the first time in 10 years Pittsfield high school classmates of 1954 gathered for a reunion at the Pittsfield Moose Lodge. Fortyone graduates of a class of 84 were present. Mr. and Mrs. David Peecher and daughters and the Aaron Peecher family left Sunday for a vacation on Gull Lake at Brainerd, Minn. The group plans to do a lot of fishing while there. Mr. and Mrs. Everet Steuart are now operating a coffee shop in the building at the northeast corner of the square formerly known as the Corner Cupboard. They opened their shop Thursday. The Florence baseball swept a double header from Jacksonville, 4-3 and 2-1 in Little Eight league action Sunday. The team is pretty much a family affair with the names of O’Donnell, Brockhouse, Pressey and Wade

25 Years Ago July 12, 1989 Helen Harman, longtime teacher in Pikeland Unit 10 schools and one of Pleasant Hill’s most respected citizens, was honored July 4th when the city announced it had changed the name of her street to Harman Street, and presented her with one of the new signs. A touch of irony was added when the sign bearing this outstanding teacher’s name was misspelled. The signs were given a grade of 100 for intent and 68 for spelling and sent back to the sign maker to get them right. Jennifer Dunn, 15-year-old daughter of Patty and Steve Wombles of Rockport and Randy Dunn of St. Charles, was selected queen of Pleasant Hill’s Fourth of July celebration. Stephanie Hammitt was first runner-up; Amy Shireman was second runnerup and Kim Borrowman was third runner up. The 1989 Little League season came to an end with American Legion boasting a record of 13-3 to lead the summer league. Team members are Luke Conners, Jeff Welch, Justin Noble, Kevin Hittner, Brad McClintock,

How many will the boat hold?

wo thousand two hundred and twenty-three people desperately tried to escape from the sinking Titanic. One thousand five hundred and seventeen perished, as they could not escape. Most of them could not escape because there were not enough lifeboats. There were boats for only eleven hundred and seventy-eight people. Sadly, the ship was not properly equipped with enough lifeboats. Who in their right mind would have preferred the sinking ship to a lifeboat? No one wanted a sinking ship. People who drowned desperately wanted a lifeboat. Escape was impossible because there was no place to escape. If I lived in Iraq, Syria, Afghanistan, Central America or numerous other countries including Mexico I would be scratching and clawing to find a way out. Who wants to live in such places of violence and poverty? Millions are stuck and will never escape. Millions of people have found a place of safety and freedom in America. People keep coming and coming. Actually, there

will never be an end to the rush of people storming our borders for safety and freedom, as long there is a magnet to draw them here. Also, the best of any lifeboats will sink. Even the Titanic sank. Do we sometimes think we are unsinkable? America is not unsinkable. I think too much of America sits around glued to social media, eating ourselves into the grave while more and more people are coming into our boat. Some of them are hard workers and will do their jobs rowing and keeping the boat afloat. Others are climbing on board staring at us wondering what we are going to do to save them from drowning. There is room for more people in America, but, how much room do we have? We don’t have room for more freeloaders. We don’t need more liars filling out claims for Social Security disability and then working cash only jobs to keep their government check coming. We don’t need more people on food stamps and Medicaid getting free food and

medical rides at the expense of the working citizens. Unfortunately, the boat is already crowded with Americans who have learned entitlements as a way of life. How many of these people can we take on before we sink? There is room for people who will fill out their paperwork and come into our country documented. We have room for hard workers who will pay their taxes, and keep America strong and secure. Those who cross our border illegally are illegal. They are not going to fight for America’s freedom and values, serve in our military and keep America strong. They are lawbreakers and need to become legal. We have kept the American boat of safety and liberty floating for quite a while. Millions have come here and tremendously contributed. However, how many illegals will the boat hold before we sink? ––––––––––––––––––––––––– ■ Glenn Mollette is an American columnist and author. Contact him at GMollette@aol.com.

Outdoor Truths: Gary Miller

Headed to Pike County!

It’s hard to believe that even now bow hunters must begin thinking about the upcoming season. Not only do trail cameras need to be set up but, more importantly, we need to be honing our shot-making skills. And since I’m not one who shoots all year long, I am even more concerned about beginning this process. In bow hunting, the margin of error is extremely narrow, so for the benefit of everything involved, it is crucial that a well-placed shot be made. But there is also more that magnifies this need. For me, I will make another trip to Pike County, Illinois and will also make my annual trip to Missouri. I do not take either of these trips for granted. They both are home to some bruiser bucks that most of us rarely get to see, much less have an opportunity to harvest. To be unprepared for these opportunities would really demean and trivialize these rare occasions. For me, these trips are the highlight of my hunting season and the last word that needs to categorize

these few days is “regret.” When I think about this whole scenario, it really does fit into the way much of life works. If you notice, most of the time, the greater the opportunity and the greater the skill level; the longer the preparation. For instance, a heart surgeon must go to school longer than a mechanic. The importance of the heart surgeon getting her job right carries more weight than does the mechanic. If my mechanic makes a mistake, I am stranded. If the cardiologist makes a mistake, I’m dead. And while both use their hands and some very intricate tools, one must prepare longer because of the limited opportunity and the price of failure. Again, I may bring my truck back to my mechanic for a second time in order to get it right but I may not have the opportunity for a second visit to my heart doctor. Now back to my deer hunt. I rarely have an opportunity to hunt big bucks in places like Pike County, Illinois. I may never get the opportunity to go back. So therefore,

I need to make sure that, should I get the chance to shoot one of those Pope and Young bucks, I am confident in my skills to place a good and effective shot. And while this is my desire every year and while I practice for this same purpose every year; the cost of getting it wrong when so much is on the line, drives me to begin even sooner. If you are a bow hunter, you know what I am talking about. But here’s the clincher. The greatest decision in anyone’s life, and the one that carries the most weight, is what decision you will make about eternity. To wait any longer to make this decision is to not understand its gravity. And to remain unprepared for it is to demean and trivialize the exceptional opportunity. ––––––––––––––––––––––––– ■ Gary Miller is an outdoorsman from Harrowgate, Tenn. gary@outdoortruths.org

Illini Community Hospital’s construction project entered week 2 of the 10-month project this week and early projects are going well. Last week, construction crews demolished and restructured the area that will become the new entrance to the Consulting Physician’s Clinic and Outpatient Services/ Oncology department. Work continues in this area this week with the rerouting of some plumbing and the finishing of the new drywall in the area. “Community members who have visited Illini in the last week may have noticed the temporary construction barrier in our main hallway near the Coffee Shop,” said Kathy Hull, President and CEO of Illini. “This barrier is in place to keep any dust out of our main corridors. There were a few moments of higher noise levels last week, but we expect noise from construction to be fairly minimal this week.” Work is also scheduled to begin towards the end of this week and the beginning of next on plumbing in the shelled space above the Emergency Department. This work will require drilling holes through the existing concrete floor and working in the ceiling area of the ER.

“There will be work that will require the construction team to be in the Emergency Department in order to run the plumbing to the shelled space,” Hull said. “In order to do this, we may have to shut off a room at a time in the ED. However, at no time will we risk patient safety and our staff will continue to work diligently to make our patients as comfortable as possible.” Safety of patients, visitors and staff has been and will continue to be a major area of focus during the construction project. “As we had planned, I have been making daily safety walks through the construction space to make sure everything is going smoothly from safety standpoint,” said Susan Chenoweth, Safety Office at Illini. “We have a team of people who will continue to do this during the entire construction project to ensure that all safety precautions are being taken and that we are never putting patient or staff safety at risk.” Patients and visitors are still asked to enter the facility through the main entrance. If anyone from the community has any questions or concerns, they are encouraged to call Illini at 217-285-2113 extension 3810.

Pittsfield Main Street visits Rotary Club

Rotarian David Awbrey introduced Christy Davenport as the Executive Director of Pittsfield Main Street. Davenport has been in this position for two years. She described the flower planters that are starting to be placed in the downtown area with the goal of having more placed in the future. The planters cost $300 and the addition of a personalized plaque is $100. If anyone is interested in purchasing a planter, please contact Davenport. The planters are part of the beautification program and once purchased, the Main Street committee ensures their upkeep. Another program currently in place is “Movies in the Park.” This runs every Thursday through June and August. The first movie brought in more than 250 people. The movies are typically shown at the Courthouse lawn. To help the Pike County Little League celebrate its 60th anniversary, a movie was played at the Pittsfield Little League Park and was also well attended. The very last movie in August will be played at the King Park Pool. Main Street must pay a $350 licensing fee for each

movie shown. Sponsors help pay this expense and are included in the movie program as advertisers. Pittsfield Main Street has been in existence for 15 years and the committee is always looking for ways to give potential members incentives to join. Pittsfield Main Street now offers its members advertisement in the two local newspapers and the radio station as part of their membership. This is especially beneficial for those businesses with small marketing budgets. Upcoming Main Street sponsored events are Girls Night Out and, a new event, a Christmas parade, to be held sometime in November. The parade will be held of an evening when Christmas lights can be seen the best. Main Street is looking for any volunteers for these events. Pittsfield’s downtown area is thriving with new businesses and expanding existing businesses. A Downtown Business Forum has been developed on how the downtown businesses can work together. They have started “Downtown Thursdays”, where businesses are open for extended

Medical marijuana farms on mind of local officials Cannabis Pilot Program Act signed into law by Gov. Pat Quinn Aug. 1, 2013, there will be only 22 cultivation centers in the state, one for each Illinois State Police district. Applications will be prepared and reviewed by the Illinois Department of Agriculture, and each facility will have a video surveillance stream sent directly to the ISP district office. Barry falls into District 20 of the Illinois State Police and if a company interested in cultivating marijuana in Barry were to apply for a cultivation license, the business would be fighting for one against applicants in Adams and Schuyler counties. Kendrick said the council wanted to keep its options open for the farm because it could benefit the area. "If for some reason one of these facilities was to locate here, I think it would be good for the community as far as creating some jobs," Kendrick said. He said people came to the public hearings voicing their support

By ROBERT LYONS Pike Press Local municipalities in the area have been proactive in their approach toward medical marijuana farms. The Barry City Council in Pike County approved an ordinance allowing the cultivation of medical cannabis in the city. Lance Kendrick, Barry city administrator, said the council held an open forum regarding such an ordinance where it received support from the public to allow for a marijuana farm. "If someone were to want to bring a site to Barry, our ordinance would allow it," Kendrick said. "We're just taking the preliminary measures that we need to. If someone were to give us a proposal, we would be ready." Growing marijuana requires a lot of physical labor to plant, cultivate and harvest the plant before it is sold wholesale to dispensaries, which would be authorized to sell to medical marijuana patients. According to the Medical

for the ordinance, adding it's adoption was smooth. "They had questions. There wasn't anybody that was adamantly against it," Kendrick said. "Some of the testimonies they've given out here recently of course on the medical side sway people a little bit. It's not like it's going to be a legalized thing where any shop can sell it." Medical marijuana will be grown somewhere within each ISP district, and municipalities like Barry and Jersey County have taken actions to increase the chances of the farms establishing in their respective region of the district. The Jersey County Board approved to a letter of support for Scientific Growers Incorporated, a local company – run by the Shourd family – vying for a cultivation license, during a regular meeting July 7. Board Member Jeff Ferguson said the county board should encourage those seeking to bring new businesses to Jersey County because new jobs are needed for people in the area.

"I think it's a great thing that we support the Shourds in their effort or anybody that wants to bring jobs to the county," Ferguson said during a regular meeting of the county board July 7. "[Medical marijuana is] going to be grown somewhere." John Shourd, Scientific Growers Inc. representative, said he expects the business to hire around 30 employees with the potential for the business to grow and require additional workers. The applications for cultivation licenses has not yet been finalized, but rather are tied up in the Joint Committee for Administrative Rules. According to the Illinois Department of Agriculture website, until the administrative rules regarding the application are approved by the committee, no applications may be made. The JCAR was expected to vote on the rules during a meeting July 15, which could be a major step toward opening the application process to potential cultivation companies like Scientific Growers Incorporated.

Corn farmers anticipate high yields, low profits By ROBERT LYONS Pike Press This year's corn yield may reach historic levels, but area farmers' profits may not indicate such. Many experts are in agreement the corn production outlook throughout the region is very promising. Mike Roegge of the University of Illinois' Pike County Extension office said, judging by appearance and conditions, the area is set to have record harvests. "I don't think I've ever seen in 30 years corn look as good over such a broad geographic range as I have this year," Roegge said. "Corn here has been pollinating here for the last two weeks under ideal conditions." Common problems such as moisture deficiencies on hill sides, or flooding in lowlands, are having minimal impact this year. A couple inches of rain in the coming weeks, and this year's corn yield is all but guaranteed to be tremendous,

Roegge said. But, even with a bumper crop, farmers may be turning to their revenue insurance coverage. Dave Lewis, manager of TriCounty FS in Jerseyville, said everything about this growing season has been ideal, including the planting, emergence, field population and lack of stress on the plants. "Things have been pretty good from the production standpoint, and I think what's happened in the markets is the traders know that, too," Lewis said. The price of September corn, according to USDA Chicago Terminal, dropped for the tenth consecutive day to $3.75 just before noon Monday. It is the first time since the 2009/2010 marketing year corn has dropped below $4 per bushel, according to farmdoc.illinois.edu, a site maintained by U of I. For many farmers, breaking even this year may be difficult when

the price dips as low as it has, both Roegge and Lewis said. But, Roegge said coming off nearly five years of historic highs in the corn market, farmers should be in a position to withstand a dip in revenue. "This year's going to be kind of a kick in the belt, and we're not going to make as much money. But, there's a lot of cash reserve that a lot of these guys have put in their billfolds," Roegge said. "It's not going to be the fallout of agriculture that you might think." He said some farmers may choose to store their corn in hopes the prices will bounce back to the $6-$7 range. Though farmers may be looking at lower profits this year, Lewis said the most basic of economic principles are at play, starting with supply and demand. According the June crop report from the U.S. Department of Agriculture, more acres of corn were planted than initially anticipated, so the supply

Webster’s aunt has high hopes for 99th By BETH ZUMWALT Pike Press Phyllis Webster of Pleasant Hill recently attended the 99th birthday party of her one remaining aunt, Martha Vaugh of Elsberry. “When the family asked her what she

wanted for her birthday, she told them she wanted to go for a helicopter ride,” Webster said. “It has been arranged and she is going up July 22nd.” Webster said her mother and Vaughn were sisters and were two of 13 children. Webster’s mother was the late Sarah Cox of Pittsfield. She said the family name

was Robinson and they always lived in the Elsberry area. Webster said she attended the birthday party, July 2, but would not be able to attend the July 22 helicopter ride, but was requesting pictures. Carroll Cox of Pittsfield would also be a nephew.

is higher. Lewis said when corn was selling for more than $7 per bushel, buyers adjusted their practices, which resulted in a decreased demand for corn. "When corn is $7 or $8 a bushel, people figure out how to get by with a little less of it," he said. "There was a liquidation of beef herds and hog herds had problems. That's why meat's high at the grocery counter." Lewis said buyers – such as feed and ethanol producers – had to absorb the blow of high corn prices over the past couple years, which impacted their bottom lines. So, the low price per bushel this year should help even the system out, he said. "It just takes a year or two for that stuff to all cycle through," Lewis said. "With these lower prices, it may take a while, but it will help build demand back up. Demand got hammered when that price got so high."

Jordan Phelps, with lots of local relatives in the area, was recently awarded a medal from the U.S. Marines for his work in helping to extinguish a wildfire in California earlier this year.

Phelps' medal will be proudly worn on his uniform. The medal was his second Navy and Marine Corps achievement medal.

Marine with local ties receives honor By beth zumwalt Pike Press Corporal Jordan Phelps was recently awarded his second Navy and Marine Corps Achievement Medal for the efforts he made while serving at Marine Corps Air Station Camp Pendleton from May 14 to May 19. Phelps is the son of Jarrod and Dara Phelps of Eolia, Mo.; the grandson of Jerald and Sharon Phelps of Ulysses, Kans. and Ralph and Patricia Benz of Pleasant Hill and Mike and Ginger Cafer of Bowling Green, Mo. He is the great-grandson of Ed and Willean Benz of Nebo. The medal was awarded for service while supporting three separate fires aboard Naval Weapons Station Fallbrook, Marine Corps Air Station Camp Pendleton and Camp Pendleton Base. By providing a total of 98 hours of sustained offensive and defensive firefighting operations which directly resulted in the resolution of the wild land firefighting operations in Southern California. Phelps was initially dispatched as a support unit, each crew chief reported to Marine Corps base incident commander. The crew chiefs were assigned fire protection for the northern most end of the weapons station ensuring that the fire did not cross off base onto civilian property. Upon patrolling the assigned area over 20 small fires were discovered and extinguished and after two hours the area was deemed secure. Upon reporting back to the Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton Operation’s section of the incident command structure, the team was reassigned as a knock down force on Ammunition Road. Specifically the group was tasked with ensuring that the raging wildfires on the shoulders were kept knocked down so that passing fire apparatus were not blocked by the fires. With a shift in the winds, an out of control wild fire was reported to be heading directly at O’Neil Heights housing area on Camp Pendleton. The team was redirected to the fast moving and extremely hot fire. Upon arrival and scene size up, the team utilized a strategic placement of vehicles and unique employment of over 400 gallons of Aqueous Film Forming Foam. As the fire passed, the team protected more than a dozen utility poles; which had caught on fire and ensured they did not burn to the point of failure. The drivers operated in a smooth pattern; which allowed for the safe egress of vehicles as well as effective application of firefighting agent. These efforts, along with an unmatched bravery undoubtedly prevented the fire from crossing the street into the housing area. Shortly thereafter they were dispatched to the 43 Area where they continued defensive operations saving nine vehicles, four parking structures and many inhabited buildings. The following morning the team was in the process of preparing additional defensive measures when

a report of a fast moving fire was headed towards Wilcox range. Knowing that if the fire was not slowed down there would be no chance of defending the fuel farm aboard the Air Station, the Marines immediately deployed in support of Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton. Upon arrival to Wilcox range the team found it to be directly in the path of the growing wild land fire and then begin defensive measures. Although the flames were not able to be stopped completely, enough of a delaying action allowed time to prepare the fuel farm for the unavoidable fires. Once the fire had passed the Marines regrouped and headed toward the Air Station Fuel Farm. Upon arrival they were able to dig in and continue last minute preparations. As the fire approached the team fell in with two Oakland Hot shot crews and began fighting the fire from all angles. The massive group of trees and brush surrounding the fuel pits created the biggest hazard for the team and they placed themselves in the place of great danger in attempt to stop the fire. The team fought in this location for 48 hours and never let the fire get behind them. Each of these crew chiefs employed their team effectively throughout this operation. The crew chiefs managed 256,150 gallons of agent and used a total of 4,510 man hours. Their efforts undoubtedly saved the Air Stations refueling capabilities and ultimately assisted in the overall southern California firefighting mission and is worthy of the Navy and Marine Corps Achievement medal. More than 24,000 acres burned during this fire. “During this period Corporal Phelps effectively operated his vehicle above and beyond what is normally expected of a driver. During this period Corporal Phelps engaged the wild land fires aboard three separate bases,” said a Marine press release, announcing Phelp’s award. “Corporal Phelps was assigned to defensive operations at the air station fuel farm and fuel pits. Many of these were fought by hand and some by using the apparatus. These actions not only ensured the safety of Marines aboard the base but ensured that aerial firefighting was able to continue throughout the duration. Corporal Phelps actions reflected credit upon himself and upheld the highest traditions of the Marine Corps and the United Sates Naval Service;” according to the merit letter.” The award is given for meritorious service or achievement in a combat or non-combat situation based on sustained performance or specific achievement of a superlative nature. Corporal Phelps, is a 2010 graduate of Clopton High School in Clarksville, Mo. and enlisted with the United States Marine Corps in March of 2011. He is currently stationed at MCAS Miramar Base in San Diego, Calif. serving in crash and fire rescue.

Fatality near New Canton By beth zumwalt Pike Press A Louisiana, Mo. man was killed late Friday evening, July 11, when he apparently stepped out in front of a car near the Copperhead Bar near New Canton. The accident was reported at 9:47 p.m. Law enforcement responding to the scene report they believe Daniel L. Calvin, 40, was either attempting to walk from the bar to a vehicle parked across Highway 96 or was returning to the bar when he stepped in front of a south bound vehicle. The area has no street lighting

and several vehicles were parked along the highway near the bar. The 1995 Mercury Sable, traveling within the normal rate of speed, struck Calvin. The driver, a 17-yearold Pleasant Hill girl, was injured in the accident and taken to Illini Community Hospital where she was treated and released. The accident was handled by the Pike County Sheriff’s Department who was assisted at the scene by Pike County EMS, Hull-Kinderhook Fire and Rescue, and Barry Fire and Rescue. The accident remains under investigation by the Pike County Coroner’s office.

Individual beaten in dispute By beth zumwalt Pike Press A Pittsfield couple, who live upstairs in a downtown apartment, came home early Saturday morning and were approached by a man clad only in boxer shorts, who appeared to have been beaten. Pittsfield Police Chief Kenny Yelliott identified neither the man nor the couple.

The man allegedly told the couple he had been “jumped” and robbed. Yelliot said when officers arrived, the victim was able to identify his attacker and a further investigation revealed it was a dispute between the two and not a random mugging. Yelliott said the investigation has concluded and a copy sent to the Pike County State’s Attorney’s office for review and the possible filing of charges.

Rhea Hobson recently returned from a trip to Aruba with the USAAI organization. She and two fellow teammates from the CulverStockton College softball team traveled with their coach, Aron Potter, as part of the USA Team to play a Friendship Series with the Aruban National Team. Aruba is an island in the southern Caribbean. Girls from California, Alabama, Illinois, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania made up the USA team which played five games in their week-long trip. The games were evening games so the team got to experience the island’s culture and enjoy the beautiful beaches during the day. They also toured the island by Jeep and got to go snorkeling several times. A highlight of the trip was the USA team donating their spikes, helmets, and some other equipment to the Aruban team. The girls from Culver-Stockton, were, left to right, Whitney Birk, Rhea Hobson, Ciara Mackey, Coach Aron Potter.

Hunter Carroll and Nathan Davis left July 2 to go visit her dad Duane Carroll in Montana. First stop was in Denver with a seven hour layover where they walked around Denver and also went to see the movie “Tammy”. After getting back on the plane, they landed in Bozeman, Montana, late in the night where Hunter’s dad picked them up and took them to his home in the mountains. Friday, July 3, they went to Yellowstone where they saw various wildlife and waterfalls. They enjoyed snow in July and made it to “The Top Of The World”. After Yellowstone they went to an old time candy store Candy Emporium where there were all of the old time favorites. Pizza was enjoyed at the end of the day. Friday, July 4, was a very eventful day. First they went into town to different shops and western stores and ate at the Rib & Chop and had big buffalo steaks. They walked through a

After the rodeo was fireworks. Saturday, July 5, after the rancher and his daughter saddled up horses, a horseback ride through the mountains was enjoyed. At Johnny Courino’s, a delicious sixteen layer lasagna was enjoyed. They spent that afternoon visiting with the neighbors. Sunday, July 6, found them back in Yellowstone watching Old Faithful. Did a little shopping and ate at Famous Dave’s and went back home to relax on the porch. Monday, July 7, they left Montana at 6:30 a.m. and were back in St. Louis by 11:30 a.m. They stopped for lunch in Grafton at Finn Inn and had their meal by candlelight because of the storm and the power being out. While in Montana, they appreciated beautiful weather, no humidity, and no bugs. In the mountains of Montana the altitude was 16,000 feet compared to our Illinois altitude of 6,000 feet. News from the Casey Cousins as told by Margaret Garner: “Last Saturday, July 5, Brenda (Smith) and her four granddaughters (Rayven, Kaylee, Carly, and Adrian) came to visit. Came just in time to help us put up hay. Friends of ours Vickie, Jack, Matt, and Allen, our son Kevin and his friend Judy, and Kevin and Brenda’s mom Connie Miller helped load trucks and wagons with hay and then put into our barn. Thanks to all of them for their help. Especially to Robert Shanks for cutting, raking, and baling all 371 bales. Jim and I would have never been able to get it all done without their help. Afterwards, we went to Kevin’s for a wiener roast. Sunday, Jim and I took 30 bales over to Robert’s and then came home and got three of the horses out so the girls could ride them up and down our road. After about three hours of riding, we went back to Kevin’s for lasagna. It had been such a busy weekend, everyone decided to take a nap. Brenda and her granddaughters, along with her mom Connie got on the road about six in the evening heading for home. Jim and I went to bed early. Was a long weekend for us and really took a toll on us old folks. Thanks again to all that helped.” Becky, Louie, Karley, and Kasey Pistulka of Arlington, SD., spent the weekend with family. They came so Louie could participate in the Jersey County mini-rod tractor pull. He then went on to Wisconsin to attend another pull. John Shafer, son of Chris and Steve Shafer, has been deployed to Afganistan July 4. Before being deployed, John and Courtney Hoots of Winchester got engaged. The Shafer family is growing. George and Ginger Whitlock were among the group who attended the wedding of George and Lynn Whitlock on Saturday evening, July 12, at George and Lynn’s home around Martinsburg. Afterwards, they attended the reception at the American Legion in Pittsfield. Sunday evening, July 13, a good crowd attended the First Christian Church in Mt. Sterling to enjoy the gospel group Anticipation. Those attending from this area that I knew were Nita Talley, Shirley Stinson, Max Self, Champ and Betty Collins, Les Garner, and Steve and I. What a wonderful evening it was! There is so much good in the worst of us, And so much bad in the best of us, That it hardly becomes any of us To talk about the rest of us.

Pike County Fair to begin this week I got to go to Pig Days Friday and Saturday evening and I really enjoyed the events they had. Remember the Pike County Fair begins this week. We are supposed to have some cooler weather this week.

First National Bank of Barry gives summer program gives interns a head start By beth zumwalt Pike Press No one when is sure when the late John Shover hired his first summer intern to work at the First National Bank of Barry. But the program continues and offers benefits for both the bank and the interns. “It gives them a chance to earn some money during the summer,” Leecia Snyder of the Pittsfield facility of the BFB. “A lot of our interns are John Wood students and they can work here during the summer and even after school starts and then use that experience to get a bank job.” Snyder said that with John Wood being a two-year transfer program, many students have been able to get banking jobs after transferring to a four-year college. “There have been several who have worked here and then been able to get a job at a bigger bank once they transfer to a four year school,” Snyder said. “We had one of our former interns who got a job at a bank and was chosen out of 70 applicants, just because of her work experience. Another one of our former interns got a

job with Bank1 in Champaign because of his experience.” Snyder said the bank works with interns who have other summer responsibilities. “We had a girl who wanted to do an internship with Dr.Lohnes, the veterinarian in Barry,” Snyder said. “We worked around her schedule and now she is a veterinarian in his office.” Snyder said the summer interns are able to cover a lot of areas at the height of the season when regular bank employees are taking vacation time and says the interns find banking hours easier to work than other places where summer employment is offered for high school or college students. “There are no evening, weekends or holidays,” she said. An intern need not have a business major to be considered for an internship at the bank. This year the bank has three interns, two new ones – Ali Nation and Amber Platt and a returnee, Kendall Crawford. “Ali is an ag business major,” Snyder said. “So she works as a teller, helps to open new accounts and other jobs. But she also sits in on some of the ag lending conferences with our ag lender, who

is her uncle, Gary Nation. She also makes farm visits with him. She says she has learned a lot of terminology that she expects will be useful when she hears if from professors at the University of Illinois this fall.”

Snyder said Nation’s mother, Devonna, also worked at Barry First National 20 years ago. “She was head teller,” she said. Platt is a psychology major at Quincy University and is gain-

ing valuable experience with her internship, mainly at the Barry facility. She, too, is picking up work experience as well as earning a paycheck. Snyder said the bank does not advertise the positions but

United Methodist Church hosts Bike and Build program

Pittsfield, Illinois

By JEANNETTE WALLACE Pike Press

Pittsfield United Methodist Church recently hosted youth from all over the United States who are participating in Bike and Build. Bike and Build is a non-profit program that’s been going on for over ten years and is for young adults from ages 18 to 25. They bike from coast to coast during the summer, stopping along the way to help build houses all over the U.S. “It’s to engage youth in a lifetime of service through bicycling across America to raise money for affordable housing,” Stanley Murzyn, one of the route leaders for the group of youth who stayed at the church, said. They often work with Habitat for Humanity to help build the houses, and Murzyn explained that there are at least 15 building days. The rest is spent biking. The Bike and Build program has eight major routes from coast to coast, and the one that stayed at the church is traveling from Providence, RI. to Half Moon Bay, CA. The group relies on help from people as they make their trip, staying at churches, community centers, campgrounds and homeless shelters. The group has stayed at the Pittsfield Methodist Church for at least ten years, according to Susan Cox, chairman of the witness committee. “They do good work for Habitat for Humanity so we just give back by helping them,” Cox said. The church provided the youth with dinner and breakfast. “It’s the beauty of the organization. We get to keep in touch with a lot of people,” Murzyn said. According to Cox, Pittsfield is well known by the group because the church always lets them sleep either
