By DAVID CAMPHOUSE Pike Press The Pike County board voted Monday, July 26, to add an internet connection to the courthouse, in an effort to minimize the effects of any future lightning strikes at county government buildings. The move came in response to June 26 and 28 lightning strikes that crippled the county’s telephone systems and damaged other office technology and county buildings. To date, the county has filed two insurance claims in response to the lightning strikes. Approximately $8,000 in repairs were necessary to repair the county’s 911 system, and a separate claim for $12,555.56 was made for damage to county equipment at the courthouse, highway department and annex building. The two strikes damaged phone and internet systems, as well as office equipment, in

many offices – including circuit clerk, judicial, probation, state’s attorney, public defender, county clerk, zoning, treasurer, supervisor of assessments, ambulance, highway and the sheriff’s department. The Pike County Animal Shelter and the Pike County Health Department were unaffected by the lightning strikes. With addition of the new internet connection at the courthouse and the use of a dedicated state-provided internet connection at the annex, each of the county’s three main government buildings will have discrete internet connections — so in the event of a lightning strike at one building, the other buildings would be unaffected. The county has also received an estimate from Quincy’s Mac Ltd. Electrical Contractors to install a complete lightning rod system to protect county buildings and systems. The quote for the system came in at $24,550. No vote was conducted on

accepting the bid on Monday. Even a month later, the lightning strikes continue to negatively affect the county’s ability to do business say county officials. “We can receive phone calls in, but we can’t make phone calls out,” Pike County Treasurer Scott Syrcle said at the Monday board meeting. The board went on approve increasing rates to be charged by the Pike County ambulance service. Fees for some ambulance services will increase by as much as 60 percent this year. Over the next 10 years, transportation fees will continue to rise by six percent annually, and mileage fees will increase by three percent annually. According to County Board Chairman Jim Sheppard, the steep fee increases were needed to bring the county’s ambulance rates in line with ambulance services in surrounding counties and communities.

“The first year’s increase is to get us close to the counties around us,” Sheppard said. “After that, the increases just help us keep pace with inflation and rising fuel costs.” The increases, according to Public Safety Committee Chairman Tom Lewis, are necessary to ensure the ambulance service’s long-term sustainability. “It’s about maintenance of what we have,” Lewis said. ”We have to plan for the bad times, too. We have to plan for the next time we need to spend $180,000 for a new ambulance.” The board also voted to authorize seeking bids for the county employee group health insurance plan. According to Sheppard, because of the terms of the county’s renewal or nonrenewal of its current health insurance plan with the Hope Trust, the bid seeking process will need to be expeditious. “I will need any bids to be

By BETH ZUMWALT Pike Press A missing 82-year old man from Hull was found dead Sunday afternoon around 5 p.m. in Two-Mile Creek, just south of Atlas. Ron Abney was pronounced dead at the scene. Cause of death is being listed as a traffic crash, according to Pike County Sheriff David Greenwood, who spearheaded the search that began July 23. Greenwood said all evidence points to the cause of death being from the accident and, also, that Abney died instantly upon impact. Video surveillance caught Abney and his 2005 Honda Accord driving through Pleasant Hill Friday afternoon, but no further sightings of him were reported. “It appears the vehicle Mr. Abney left the roadway sometime Friday after-

noon, where it crashed into the creek bed, ‘’ Greenwood said. “A search was conducted for Mr. Abney following the report of him being missing Friday evening when he didn’t return home.” Abney was reported missing after leaving Hardin on Friday. Abney’s destination that others thought was Missouri. Law enforcement, family, friends and neighbors assisted in an extensive search. A helicopter was called in and assisted in the search with no luck. Abney’s car was not visible from the bridge, which carries traffic across U.S. 96, due to the position of the vehicle and foliage. It was discovered by a member of a search team that was out, walking ravines, ditches and hard to see areas. Greenwood said no autopsy will be conducted.

Deputies, first responders and firefighters worked on recovering the body of an elderly Hull man, who had been reported missing Friday and was found, deceased, Sunday afternoon, north of Pleasant Hill. Other lawenforcement wait on the bridge to assist with traffic and to offer assistance to those on the ground.

Jury finds Watts guilty By BETH ZUMWALT Pike Press Just seven days short of his 23rd birthday, a jury found Clayton Watts, 22, Pittsfield, guilty of both counts of criminal sexual assault and aggravated criminal sexual abuse. Sentencing was set for Sept. 17 in the Pike County Courthouse. Watts was accused in April 2020 of having sexual conduct with a person under the age of

18. As the investigation progressed, three additional victims came forward. None of the second three were under age. The jury trial started Monday, July 19 with picking a jury of nine men, three women. The state called 19 witnesses including two expert witnesses from the Illinois State Police Crime Laboratory also had Zack Orr, chief deputy with the Pike County Sheriff’s

Department testify twice on two different aspects of the case. The defense called no witnesses and Watts, also, did not testify. The trial concluded late Thursday afternoon. The jury was out for one hour and 31 minutes before finding Watts guilty. Sentencing was set for Sept. 17 in the Pike County Courthouse. Beth Zumwalt/Pike Press

KEEPING COOL AND HELPING A GOOD CAUSE Burdick’s Shaved Ice Shack was a big hit at the Pleasant Hill Swimming Pool, Saturday afternoon. Temperatures hit the mid-90s and felt-like it was over 100 degrees. Burdicks donated one dollar for each snow-cone sold to help support the diving board replacement fund. The final donation was $305 and it raised the fund to approximately $1,000 of the $5,500 needed to replace one diving board. Both boards need replacing and currently there is no diving board at the pool.

Pittsfield eyes lots of changes in city hall and parking By BETH ZUMWALT Pike Press The City of Pittsfield is looking for ways to expand city hall. The idea was discussed Tuesday night, July 20, at the regular city council meeting. “We simply need more space,” Mayor Gary Mendenhall said. “Our economic development director’s office is in the corner of the council chambers, my office has no privacy.” Mendenhall said when he meets with an employee or someone with a sensitive matter, he must move to the council chambers, forcing the economic development director to leave the room and thus disrupting his work. Also cited are storage shortfalls and the office staff being in close quarters. According to Mendenhall, the city has several options, including purchasing an adjoining building, building on the lot where the former Temptations building was in the 100 block of East Adams Street or building an addition to the existing city hall. “It’s nothing that we are in a hurry to do,” Mendenhall said. “We are going to get a structural engineer’s report on the adjacent building, but nothing will be done on that until next year.” The council also discussed improving the traffic flow around downtown Pittsfield. As vehicles have gotten bigger traffic has

been constricted by narrower lanes,especially in the 100 block of South Madison. “We have considered lots of options,” Mendenhall said. “Narrowing the sidewalk is an option as well as making that block, one way, going south, or converting to parallel parking on the street.” The ordinance committee will meet Aug. 3 to discuss the matter and make a recommendation to the entire council. Also discussed is the parking situation near the former NAPA building. “Semi trucks needing to access the bulk water station have to turn into the alley across the street from there,” Mendenhall said. “If we could eliminate a couple of parking spots and make a better turning radius it would help. Then we could move the spigot for the bulk water to the north side of the building, between the water tower and Crossroads and trucks could just pull up, get their water and pull out.” Currently the water is dispensed from the west side of the water tower, which trucks have to be careful of because of the sharp turns around that area. It can cause some excitement and is much more difficult to maneuver around those turns. “But, we hate to eliminate parking spots anywhere, much less in that area where there are two restaurants,” Mendenhall said.

Griggsville-Perry approves back to school plan; hears from mask proponents

By DAVID CAMPHOUSE Pike Press Griggsville-Perry’s school board – at its Wednesday, July 21, meeting – approved the district’s 2021-2022 return to school plan. The plan calls for G-P schools to begin the year with a standard, full-day schedule. Under the plan, fully vaccinated people do not need to wear masks, and the plan recommends that unvaccinated people do wear masks. According to G-P Superintendent Kent Hawley, the plan was kept succinct for clarity’s sake. “I wanted to get it down to one page,” Hawley said. “We didn’t want people to get bogged down.” Hawley added that the school district will continue with several protocols designed to suppress the spread of COVID-19. “We’re still going to keep a lot of the mitigation layers in place,” Hawley said. “We’ll have assigned seats, extra sanitation and we’ll continue using bottle fillers, instead of water fountains.” Hawley also indicated the district will continue social distancing, when feasible, and place an emphasis on hand washing. During the board meeting’s public comment section, district residents Julie Craig and Jill Buchanan spoke to the board about the benefits of mask wearing and how it can benefit student well-being.

“They were in support of masks,” Hawley said. “They were pleased with how things went last year – with there being very few cases in the district and no in-school spread. They said that masks played a big part in that.” The board went on to approve an athletic cooperative agreement with MeredosiaChambersburg for high school volleyball for the 2021-2022 and 2022-2023 school years. If approved by the Meredosia-Chambersburg Board, G-P will serve as the host school. Board members also approved the 20212022 student fee schedule. Fees for the school year will remain the same as the last several years. In addition, the board approved the 20212022 Student Handbook. A resolution authorizing the sale of school property was approved. This resolution gave Hawley the authority to sell or dispose of items no longer of use to the district. “We have in storage a whole boatload of toys from our zero to three program, which no longer exists,” Hawley said. “We also have a lot of fluorescent shop lights in storage, and we’ve moved to all LEDs in our buildings.” Also approved was the district’s non-resident tuition waiver. The waiver allows children of employees who live outside the district to attend G-P Schools tuition free. Following closed session, Chris Miller was approved as assistant middle school baseball coach, and the board extended Hawley’s contract through June 30, 2023.

Western approves back to school plan; accepts Barry campus HVAC bid

By DAVID CAMPHOUSE Pike Press At its Wednesday, July 21, meeting, Western’s school board approved the district’s return to school plan. Under the plan, students will return to a full day of in-person instruction. Masks are recommended to be worn within school buildings and will not be worn outdoors. The plan also calls for social distancing of three feet when possible. In addition, assemblies and other large gatherings will be limited. According to Superintendent Jessica Funk, the plan is subject to change in the event that COVID-19 cases arise in the district. According to the district, Western had only 22 cases at its school buildings during the 2020-2021 school year. The limited number of cases, according to the return to school plan released by the district, was due to the mitigation efforts undertaken by the school. At Wednesday’s board meeting, four parents asked questions of the administration and board in response to the return to school plan. “They just asked clarifying questions,” Funk said. “I had one parent ask why parents aren’t allowed to choose remote learning for their students. The Illinois State Board of Education (ISBE) isn’t allowing remote learning.” Other parents asked questions regarding specifics about documenting vaccinations and protocols surrounding quarantines. “It wasn’t anything major,” Funk said. “They were just asking situational questions.” In response to one parent’s question, Funk added that, while the district is not ”tracking” which students are and are not vaccinated, in the event that a student comes into close contact with someone with COVID-19, the student may be asked if he or she is vaccinated to avoid being quarantined. Fully vaccinated students do not need to be quarantined if they

come into close contact with a COVID-19 positive individual. The board also approved a bid from Peter’s Heating and Air Conditioning for approximately $1.4 million to replace the HVAC system at the district’s Barry campus. The district had initially budgeted $717,000 from federal Elementary and Secondary Emergency Relief Funds (ESSER) payments for the project, but bids came back significantly higher than anticipated. “We set aside $717,000 from ESSER II,” Funk said. “We need to decide where the rest of the money will come from, whether it’s one percent sales tax funds, bonds or ESSER III.” Funk attributed the disparity in the estimated costs of the HVAC project and the bids received to supply chain interruptions caused by the pandemic, as well as a shortage of workers. “Everyone is having issues getting equipment,” Funk said. “And they are having trouble finding people to do the work.” The board approved renewing “Gaggle” software for $5,400. The software alerts school staff if students are using school-owned computers/tablets to research troubling topics, such as violence or suicide. A subscription to Mosyle Manager MDM was also renewed for $5,821.20. The program automatically updates software on schoolowned computers/tablets. Following closed session, the board approved the resignation of special education teacher Penny Moyer, effective June 29. In addition, the board approved Anna Hechler as high school and junior high athletic director, William Schaffer as athletic director assistant, John Skirving as basketball league director, Nikk Bareis as junior high girls basketball coach and Joey Fesler as junior high girls assistant basketball coach. All athletic appointments were for the 2021-2022 school year.

Is the 5-minute rule enforceable? By BETH ZUMWALT Pike Press By law, governmental bodies must hold public meetings and allow time for public comment. Many boards, including several in Pike County, limit the comment to a certain amount of time, usually five minutes. But, at last week’s Pikeland School Board meeting, Annie Nash, who was speaking to the board on the masking policy for the upcoming school year, produced documents that said the policy may be unconstitutional. “It’s was a 1966 case , New York Times vs. Sullivan, that was presented to the U.S.Supreme Court,” Nash said. “It’s case law, so while it is not in the constitution, it is law.” Nash said a public entity can not ask a person to speak to the board and then limit the time they have to make their point. “I was speaking when I was interrupted and told to wrap it up,” Nash said. “That’s when I cited the case law. And several people in the crowd said they would cede their time to me.” Nash said she ended up speaking approximately 15 minutes. Jim Sheppard, chairman of the Pike County Board, said he has only seen the five minute rule used approximately three times in his 20 years on the board. “If a person is getting repetitious or out-of-control, I think it is appropriate,”

Sheppard said. “But, if a person comes to us with a problem, it usually takes more than five minutes for us to ask questions and get the information we need about their concerns.” Gary Mendenhall, mayor of Pittsfield, agreed, five minutes is not enough to get to the heart of a matter. “We want to interact with the people,” Mendenhall said. “We have the rule, but, we don’t time anyone. People want to be heard, not brushed off when the alarm rings.” Pikeland Superintendent Carol Kilver said the five-minute limit was in the district’s policy manual and had been approved by the district’s legal team. She said the board planned to adhere to the policy at last night’s special meeting. “We will have a timer and a light will flash at the four-minute mark, alerting the speaker to the time and to start wrapping up their comments,” she said. She also said if a group of speakers are coming to comment on one subject, it is better to pick one or two to be the spokesman or men for the group. According to Kilver, it is possible to call the board office, in advance, and tell them someone wants to speak on a complicated matter and ask for more time. “We have a school district with a $15 million budget,”she said. “Our meetings are for the purpose of keeping the district running. We want to hear from the public but it has to be in cooperation with the time available.”

Pikeland looks toward return to school; extends superintendent’s contract By DAVID CAMPHOUSE Pike Press At Pikeland’s Wednesday, July 21, board meeting, Superintendent Carol Kilver gave a presentation updating school board members and dozens of district residents on the district’s progress on its “return to learn” plan. The presentation was met with questions and comments from parents and district residents. At points, the public comments grew critical of the district’s handling of the pandemic. To a large extent, though, Pikeland’s plan for the 2021-2022 school year resembles other Pike County district plans. However, while Western and Griggsville-Perry recommend masks, Pikeland plans to require that students wear masks while they enter and exit school buildings and during passing periods between classes. Kilver attributes the need for more stringent safety precautions to Pikeland’s higher student population. “While a smaller school might have 85 students in the hallways, we might have 350 kids moving in our hallways,” Kilver said. “Pikeland also has the largest employee pool in the area.” Kilver said that a focus of the district will be on getting students back into patterns of behavior that take into account the public health challenges of large groups of people in a confined space. “We will be trying to transition from summer habits to community habits,” Kilver said. “We are a community at the school – a bigger family.” Kilver stated that any mask mandates are subject to change, based on ongoing collection of COVID-19 data in the district. “Hopefully, it would be short-lived,” Kilver said. “We are going to get rid of them as soon as we safely can.” The board is anticipated to approve the “Return to Learn” plan at a special meeting on Tuesday, July 27. “We have taken all our working documents, and I think we’re really close to pulling it all together,” Kilver said on Monday, July 26. In other action at the July 21 meeting, board

members approved extending Kilver’s contract through the 2024-2025 school year. “The three year contract I was hired under would have been finished in 2023,” Kilver said. “They extended it two years.” According to Kilver, she did not accept the same pay increase received by the district’s other administrators. “I did not accept a raise this year,” Kilver said. “Other administrators got a five percent raise. I declined that raise.” Kilver believes the contract extension is a result of the board’s desire for steadiness in the uncertain times. “I think the board is thinking about long-term transition,” Kilver said. “Teaching and administration openings are hard to fill. I think they feel this will help promote long-term stability.” Board members also approved several personnel decisions following closed session. The board accepted the resignations of Shaw Walsh as 8th grade girls basketball coach and bus driver Adam Zabel. Board members approved hiring long-term substitute PCS PE teacher Jeremy Davidsmeyer, PHS science teacher Rachel Heffington, elementary teacher Kaitlyn McPherson, long-term substitute interventionist Courtney Reel, paraprofessional Ashley Bradley, transportation dispatch Todd Plattner, PCS day custodian Cory Young, PCS junior varsity volleyball coach Ashli Freesmeyer, PCS assistant softball coach Kristi Heafner, 7th grade girls basketball coach Matt Henry and PHS head softball coach Ariana White. The board also approved several volunteer bass fishing coaches, including head coach Greg Bonnett and assistants Tom Cawthon, Brad McClintock, Alan Motley, Matt Saxe and Michael Smith. David Marable was approved as volunteer PCS girls basketball coach. In addition, volunteer transfers were approved for PHS English teacher Renita TenEyck and PACE instructor Kindra Phillips. Overload teaching was approved for Spencer Boren, Jody Heavner, Debbie Stendback and Mark Still. Finally, Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA) leave was approved for a Pikeland employee.

PICKINGS FROM PIKE’S PAST 75 YEARS AGO: DEDICATION OF ADDITION TO DETROIT CHRISTIAN CHURCH

150 Years Ago Aug. 3, 1871 Messrs Nicholas Dober and brother have opened a bakery, confectionery and restaurant in the old Union House building in Pittsfield. This is an institution which has been much needed in our town. On Sunday night the P. O. in Pittsfield was broken into and robbed of all its valuables. The loss consists of $550 in stamps, some $40 or $50 in registered letters, and some five or six dollars (chicken feed). All of these were in drawers securely locked, which were broken open by the thieves. No clue has yet been found to the author of the robbery, but the scoundrel will yet come to grief.

125 Years Ago July 29, 1896 Don’t miss the Illinois Valley Fair at Griggsville next week. Since Sunday Old King Sol has had it all his own way and has kept the thermometer boiling away above 90. The millers of Pittsfield estimate that the farmers of Pike County have lost $100,000 due to damage to wheat in the shock and otherwise from the excessive rains and heat of the past few weeks. There were 338 pupils at Sunday school last Sunday at the Pittsfield Christian Church and 22 teachers, one teacher riding 12 miles to be with her class. The log rolling in Barry was a great success. There were some six or eight brass bands in attendance, but the Time band was the pride of the meeting. The Milton Camp captured the prize for loading the log in the shortest time. The big saloon is said to have taken in anywhere from one to two thousand dollars. Janitor S. N. Jones of the courthouse has secured a couple of squirrels for the park, and will pay a liberal price for others. Dogs will not be allowed in the park.

100 Years Ago Aug. 3, 1921 Much work has been done on Honey Creek hill on the Nebo road. This has always been a terror to travelers. It has been straightened out so that it is now an almost direct drive.

Formerly it was two times as crooked as a dog’s hind leg. The Pleasant Hill Christian Church has been recently painted and decorated, and it is now one of the most attractive church edifices in the city. L. S. Mylius, Illinois State Geologist, says that he does not think oil will be found in the wells that are being drilled west of Pittsfield. 75 Years Ago July 31, 1946 Dedication services for the new addition to the Detroit Christian Church will be held Sunday morning. The new addition, on the east side of church auditorium, will be used as a Sunday School room, and also as an overflow addition to the auditorium. Joe Maynard, pastor of the church, says that the $7000 to build the addition was contributed in two Sunday morning collections, which is rather unusual. Congressman Sid Simpson has sent Jess Thompson, the editor of the Pike County Republican a pen used by President Truman to sign the Flood Control Authorization for 1946. Editor Thompson had given strong editorial support for flood protection for the Sny levee. Nebo is preparing for a big homecoming Friday and Saturday of this week when the new park there will be dedicated to veterans of World War I and II by the Nebo Victory Club, which was one of the most active organizations in the country during the war. The elevator at Montezuma is being torn down. It was built about 1918 by the late T. F. McEvers. Mr. and Mrs. Foreman Fields (Grace Kinnamon) had a son born at Illini Hospital July 27, named William Russell. 50 Years Ago Aug. 4, 1971 After a long wait, motorists traveling from Nebo to Independence are rejoicing in a new asphalt road, assuring a hard all-weather surface between Nebo and Pittsfield. County Supt. of Highways Dallas Strubinger says there is still some work to be done on the shoulders and guard rails to be put in place.

Feeling Social?

Bill Belt, who was born in Pittsfield and spent the first year of his life in Nebo, has returned to Pike County as the new manager of the P.N. Hirsch store in Pittsfield. Miss Karen Sue Callender, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Victor H. Callender and Wayne Lee Puckett of Pittsfield, son of Mr. and Mrs. Robert H. Puckett of Calumet City, were married July 24 at 6 p.m. at the Pittsfield First Christian Church. Keep writing those flag letters. Remember, we have only five years to be ready for the 200th anniversary of the Republic in 1976 with a flag display around the square. The Carson and Barnes five ring circus will be in Pittsfield under a gigantic big top for two performances Monday Aug. 23, north of Pittsfield High School. 25 Years Ago July 31, 1996 Pittsfield Lake is famous for a program aimed at stopping sedimentation into the lake that has been effective. It is one of only 15 monitoring projects across the United States.

Army National Guard private Amy L. Gates has entered basic military training at Fort Jackson, Columbia, S. C. Gates is the daughter of Kenneth W. and Nancy L. Gates of RR 2, Barry. She is a 1995 graduate of West Pike High School, Kinderhook. State Senator Laura Donohue and State Representatives Art Tenhouse and Rich Myers attended the annual Legislative Steak Fry sponsored by the Pike and Scott County Farm Bureaus. 10 Years Ago Aug. 3, 2011 After four years of planning and hard work, construction on the Pike County Skate Park in King Park in Pittsfield will be started soon. Barry brought a few “blasts from the past” Saturday night at “Jamfest 2011” at the Bow Lake Golf Course. The performance was part of a reunion between the Avengers and the T-Zers who performed in the 60s and 70s.

LINDA HOSKINS I love ham, but I don’t always want to buy a big ham for the two of us, so I often buy ham steak. Sometimes I just heat it up in a skillet, or we throw it on the grill. Here is a delicious way to serve it if you want something special. GLAZED HAM STEAK (4 servings) Q 1 8-oz can sliced pineapple Q 2 boneless ham steaks Q 1/4 cup packed brown sugar Q 1/2 tsp Dijon mustard Q 4 maraschino cherries, optional Drain the pineapple, reserving 1 Tbsp juice, set pineapple aside. Cut each ham steak in half, place on an ungreased rimmed baking pan. In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, mustard and the reserved 1 Tbsp pineapple juice. Spread over the top of the ham. Top with pineapple slices and cherries. Bake uncovered at 350 degrees for 20 to 25 minutes. A good side dish to go

Have you ever wondered why recipes calling for brown sugar always say “packed”? It is a crucial step, especially in baking. If you are measuring 1 cup brown VXJDU \RX VKRXOG ¿OO XS WKH measuring cup part way, pack LW GRZQ ZLWK D VSRRQ DQG ¿OO and pack more. The reason for this is because the brown

sugar is sticky and traps air pockets between the grains. Without the packing, the volume measurement would be off. Another thing about brown sugar is that it is not healthier than white sugar, and the caloric count is about the same. And did you know you can make your own brown sugar? It’s actually very easy. Mix 1 cup granulated sugar and 1 Tbsp molasses with a wooden spoon or mixer until thoroughly blended. Store in an airtight container to prevent it from drying out. If you want dark brown sugar, increase the molasses to 2 Tbsp per 1 cup granulated sugar. Here is an even better tip: some recipes call for dark brown sugar and if you don’t have it on hand, add 1 Tbsp molasses to 1 cup of light brown sugar. Mix well.

good GROWING What could be killing my squash plants? Keeping you growing with good ideas s University of Illinois Extension

There’s nothing more devastating than walking out to your garden to discover your squash plants are wilted or dead. An insect known as the squash vine borer is one that will cause damage to your cucurbit plants by tunneling into the stems. Once you have had an encounter with squash vine borer, it is one you will never forget. Damage done by the squash vine borer appears around mid-summer and is typically unnoticed until after the borer has done its damage. The insect overwinters as a full-grown larva or a pupa below the soil surface and pupates in the spring. Adult moths begin to emerge in early summer and lay eggs on the stems of cucurbit plants. After hatching, the larvae bore into the vines and feed for 14 to 30 days before returning to pupate in the soil. The key to controlling squash vine borer is to control the borers before they enter the stem; once inside the vine, insecticides are ineffective. Home gardeners may have success with deworming vines by slicing the vine lengthwise near damage; these areas should be immediately covered with soil and kept well-watered. In early summer, monitor plants weekly for adults. Adult moths are dark gray with ‘hairy’ red hind legs, opaque front wings, and clear hind wings with dark veins. Unlike most moths, SVB moths fly during the daytime appearing more like a wasp than a moth. Insecticides can be used to control moths or newly hatched larvae; however, application timing is extremely important for effective control which can be difficult to achieve. Other measures of control include removing and destroying infested vines to break the life cycle. Tillage can also help to expose overwintering insects. By rotating the squash to another location within the garden, you can also reduce insect pressure. Good Growing Fact: Of course, there are other common insects or diseases including squash bugs, cucumber beetles, spider mites, and powdery mildew that can cause issues with growing plants in the cucurbit family. It is important to

scout frequently for disease and insects. When scouting, be sure to thoroughly check plants including under leaves.
