By BETH ZUMWALT Pike Press Two armed home invasions have left people in the Perry/ Chambersburg area beyond shaken.

Four men are alleged to have committed the crimes. Tyler Runk, 22, of Jacksonville, was arrested shortly after the final incident occurred.

He is charged with three counts of home invasion and has had bond set at $300,000.

Edwin Powell Jr. 29, Jacksonville was arrested Monday on a Pike County warrant alleging three counts of home invasion. He is being held at the Pike County Jail in lieu of $300,000 bond.

Germarco D. Tate, 26, Jacksonville, was arrested at the Pike County Jail Monday afternoon.

He, too, is charged with three counts of home invasion and has a bond of $300,000.

The arrests of Tate and Powell came after the Pike County Sheriff’s Office, along with the Illinois State Police, the Jacksonville Police Department, the Jacksonville Police Spetcial Response Team, the Scott County Sheriff’s

Department and the Adams County Sheriff’s Department conducted court authorized search warrants on three residences in Jacksonville.

The fourth suspect, Jordan Timothy Ray Gallup turned himself into the Alton Police Department late Monday. He will be transported to the Pike County Jail where he will be lodged in lieu of $300,000 bond. He will be charged with the same offenses as Powell, Runk and Tate.

The spree started Thursday when a resident of rural Chambersburg came home Thursday afternoon to find his home had been broken into and burglarized.

Then around 2 a.m.

Friday, Aug. 16, the suspects entered a rural residence not far from the first, while the owners were home. The owners were robbed and their house burglarized. It is believed the crimes are related.

The situation turned violent as one of the intruders, armed with a firearm, put a gun to the head of the female occupant and told her he would shoot her if she did not tell them the PIN

It is also alleged, that while in the residence, one of the intruders struck the male of the residence with the grip of a firearm, causing injury to the male’s head. He refused medical treatment once law enforcement arrived.

Pikeland administration focuses on student safety

By DAVID CAMPHOUSE Pike Press In the midst of national attention being paid to mass shootings and gun violence, the Pikeland school district has taken a proactive step to limit the public’s access to students by constructing secured entryways to each of the district’s three school buildings.

Over the summer each of the three Pikeland school buildings received entryway overhauls to ensure student safety. The new entryways require visitors to check in at a sliding window with staff before being allowed into the school building. Only visitors with a pressing need will be allowed to interact with students.

High school principal Angie Greger sees the new entryways as an improvement over previous years.

“The second perimeter will limit public interaction with the student

body,” Greger said. “99 percent of visitors to the school don’t need access to the student body.”

Each Pikeland school building now adheres to the same security measures when it comes to allowing visitors into the schools.

According to head football coach and resource officer Paul Petty one of the most important elements of the new security measures is getting students and staff accustomed to consistent procedures in each of the district’s buildings.

“A key to safety is getting everybody used to the same rules from building to building,” Petty said.

In addition to providing day-today security to Pikeland students, school resource officer Clint Weir seeks to build real ties with Pikeland students and their families.

“The resource officer can help David Camphouse/Pike Press bridge the gap between law enforce- School resource officer Clint Weir and Pittsfield High School principal Angie ment and the community,” Weir said. Greger stand in front of the new security doors at Pittsfield High.

FOID Partners for Rural America study economic development in central Illinois

By DAVID CAMPHOUSE Pike Press Dozens of members of the Partners for Rural America organization met for their annual meeting in Springfield and travelled to Pittsfield Monday, Aug. 19 to observe downtown development efforts.

The group heard from speakers Brenda Middendorf of the Pike County Economic Development Corporation and local entrepreneur Jonas Petty.

Attendees represented communities and states from across the country, and included Jessica AcMoody from the Rural Partners of Michigan. “We’re here learning what the best practices of rural development are around the country,�

AcMoody said.

The Chairperson for Partners for Rural America, Charlotte Davis of Maryland, was also in attendance for the group’s visit to Pittsfield. “We’re here on our annual meeting to see what David Camphouse/Pike Press other states are doing and to learn from each other,� Nationwide members of the Partners for Rural America rural development organization gathered at Free Press Coffee House and listened to Brenda Middendorf and Jonas Petty speak about economic development activities in Davis said.

USDA grant will Crime supply a WIU intern

By BETH ZUMWALT Pike Press A USDA grant announced earlier this month will fund an intern for the Pike County Economic Development Corporation.

The Department of Agriculture (USDA) approved a rural development grant award of $50,000 to assist the Western Illinois University (WIU) Foundation to aid small businesses in Pike County.

Brenda Middendorf, of the PCEDC, said the press release was a bit misleading. “Pike County did not get $50,000,� she said.“WIU got the money and part of it includes funding for an intern for us.�

According to Middendorf, last year’s intern, Justin Krohn, was a huge success and she feels this year’s intern will be just as knowledgeable. “His name is Dallas

Thueringer and he starts Sept. 4,� Middendorf, said “He will work for us 37.5 hours per week as part of his plan for getting his masters.�

Middendorf said Thueringer will assist with business retention, assist Picture Pittsfield, maintain the PCEDC website and Facebook Page and a number of other projects.

Brenner said. “People end up before a judge for a variety of reasons, some good, some bad, and they want someone who will follow the law and show empathy.�

Brenner is a sixth-generation Quincy native who graduated from Quincy Public Schools.

JWCC summer dean’s list One-hundred five students at John Wood Community College have been named to the dean's list for the 2019 summer term.

To be named to the dean's list, a full-time student must be enrolled for nine or more credit hours and must earn a grade point average of 3.5 or higher. A part-time student must have accumulated at least 15 semester hours, be enrolled for fewer than nine credit hours the current term, and have a

cumulative grade point average of 3.5 or higher.

Pike County students named to the dean's list include the following: Diana Harris, Caleb Hart, Emma Raftery, Elizabeth Reis, Emery Rucker, Natiaya Thompson of Barry; Wesley Bradshaw, Griggsville; David Dees Jr., Hull; Kourtney Harris, Perry and Sierra DeJaynes, Layne Gregory, Alexis Hardee, Reagan Hoskin of Pittsfield.

(Continued from A1) He expects the case to be heard in mid to late-fall and he expects to win.

When asked if he was worried considering today’s climate of requiring stricter gun laws and more thorough background checks, Pearson said constitutional rights are not affected by current events. “We have won every case we have taken to the Supreme Court,� Pearson said.

Pearson and his organization’s victory celebration, should the Illinois Supreme Court ruling go their way, could be short lived as Illinois Attorney General Kwame Raul has already declared he will appeal the decision to the U.S. Supreme Court.

Illinois Senator Steve McClure said he was unfamiliar with the case but said very few states have similar laws. “The constitution says the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed,� McClure said. “But something has got to be done. We keep trying to pass legislation that would make the state safer, but the Democrats kill it in committee.�

McClure said he personally presented a bill that would charge any 16-17 year-old with a car jacking involving a weapon as an adult. “These gangs know the 16 and 17-year-olds will be charged as juveniles and get the younger ones to participate in stealing cars, knowing they will be sent to juvenile court and received lesser sentences. The bill didn’t go any where.�

John Kroeschel of Black Cap Armory in Barry and a certified firearms instruction and a registered gun sales man said he, too, was unfamiliar with the case and has mixed feelings on the matter. “If going through the process to get a FOID card saves even one life, then it’s worth it,� he said. ‘But they miss stuff, too. The shooter in Aurora had a FOID card.�

Kroeschel said he was in a store in southern Missouri one time and a man ahead of him was purchasing a gun. “They asked him if he had any felonies and he said No, but when they put his name through their system, it came back he had a felony conviction. They detained him until the cops got there,� Kroeschel said. “In cases like that I’m for a FOID card, but it’s a tough call.�

When asked why the case from White County has not received any notoriety or been picked up by the media, Pearson said cases such as the Brown case typically don’t receive any national or even state media attention until a ruling by the Supreme Court.

Phelps using skills to invade the music world

By BETH ZUMWALT Pike Press Courtney Phelps, a 2017 graduate of Pittsfield High School and an incoming junior at Blackburn College in Carlinville, is invading the music world but not with musical talent.

Phelps is using her camera to get into the scene that is usually pretty impenetrable. “I have a passion for taking pictures,� Phelps said. “I did photography in high school for people, senior portraits and other pictures.�

Phelps said a lot of photography is just trial and error as far as settings and composition. Getting bands to notice is different and requires self-promotion.

After attending a few concerts with camera in hand, Phelps decided to send some of her shots to the bands themselves. “They started calling asking me to take pictures,� she said. “I take pictures of Broken Youth, Wild and Free, Pretty Much, Kinzie Ziegler, Crown the Empire, Freebird all bands in the St. Louis area.�

Phelps is a graphic design major at Blackburn, which does not offer a major in photography. “They offer four photography classes and I’ve taken all of them,� she said. “Blackburn is a school you

can work to help with your tuition. This year I was in charge of the art gallery. I prepared the displays for all the shows we had, ordered the food, took care of the advertising and promotion, clean-up afterwards and prepare for the next showing.�

She says her degree in graphic design will be beneficial because she can design t-shirts, poster, create logos and other promotional items.

Phelps said she has shown some of her works in the gallery and has made a lot of connections through the showings.

She says her music photography is her favorite

because the music scene is “like a family.� “Everybody looks out for each other,� she said.

As far as financial lucrative, Phelps says it is and would be very financially rewarding if she didn’t have to drive to St. Louis, a situation she may remedy once she graduates from Blackburn.

She says she has made connections with other photographers that do the same thing she does and has gotten good advice. “One of my friends just quit her full time job to do this full-time,� Phelps said.

While Phelps says she has

received a lot of support and advice from within the music culture, she would like to give some advice. “For people scared of following their dream, a lot of people will tell you, you can’t make it, but that’s not true,� Phelps said. “You can do anything you want to do if you try hard enough.�

Memories of 50 years ago

By BETH ZUMWALT Pike Press Students coming back to school at Pleasant Hill this year will no doubt have memories of the summer, but those memories more than likely aren't as exciting as the students who came back in the Fall of 1969.

That was the year that 92 Pleasant Hill band members loaded a plane and went on a 22-day European tour. “It was arranged through People-toPeople,� Janet Kinscherff Slingsby, a member of the tour, said. “We had a very successful band program. We won superior ratings in contest each year and also won the Governor’s Award.�

When band director G.J. Rieckhff was approached by People-to-People for the idea, no one was sure how it could be done or if parents would be receptive. “My parents had lost a child in an accident, Mike Kinscherff said. “But yet they sent seven of us on that trip. I don’t know what they were thinking.�

Fortunately, the trip was without major incident.

The push to send the band on the tour was huge undertaking for the Pleasant Hill Community. Cost was $30,000. “We did a little bit of everything to raise the money,� Debbie Mooney Diffey, who now lives in Louisiana, Mo., said. Diffey was a sixth grader who was allowed to go on the trip, an experience she says she will never forget.

Fundraising included selling candy bars, rummage sales and an auction, a talent show, picking up corn, selling Betsy Ross Candy, working the various stores, a trap shoot, bake sales, selling newspaper subscriptions, baby sitting and sweeping the streets of Pleasant Hill as well as countless dinners and suppers. Several area and beyond businesses donated to the cause. “It would probably be cost prohibitive now,� Coldwell said.

The group included the junior high and high school band as well as 10 past band members who were in college. “The idea was that they could help chaperone the younger kids,� Sue Galloway Caldwell, who went on the trip while on summer break from SIU. The band members stayed with People-to People families once they arrived in Europe. “We got on buses and they would take us from town to town,� Slingsby said. “We would get off the bus and go with a family.

They didn’t know us and we didn’t know them.�

Diffey said she washed out her clothes in the bathtub of the house she was staying in and the family was amazed. “They stood in the door and watched me,� she said.

The group's first stop was Amsterdam. “Our first stop was the Anne Frank House,� Mike Kinscherff said. “That was unbelievable.�

After Amsterdam, the group was in Middleburg, Holland, Hadeslev, Denmark, Odense Denmark, Gifhorn Germany, Wolfenbuttel Germany, Wolfsburg Germany, Heidelberg, Germany, Adelsdorf, Germany, with several side trips to Switzerland, Austria and scenic attractions within Holland, Denmark and Germany.

The trip had its eventful moments.

The band was scheduled to play in Wolfenbuttel but protestors protesting the Vietnam War forced the concert to be moved outside of the concert hall.

The band practiced for several months before the concert learning waltzes, marches and symphonies their audiences appreciated. They also played some American tunes and a selection of patriotic songs including the Star Spangled Banner, America the Beautiful, Battle Hymn of the Republic and the Illinois State Song.

Their homecoming was quite the experience after being gone for more than 20 days, parents, families and friends came out the greet the buses carrying the group from the Chicago Airport. “It was the middle of the night when we got back to Pleasant Hill,� Diffey said. “The village police chief led the parade along with the fire department. It was unforgettable.�

Diffey said she came home with several souvenirs of the trip and still has them.

Slingsby by said the group took Kennedy half-dollars with them as gifts for their host families.

Our View BACK TO SCHOOL

It’s time to support the children School is now in session for Pike County students.

It’s time to enter into a new schedule and a new attitude.

Guest column: Patrick J. Kennedy

Summer was good for relaxing and feeling free. Now it’s season of responsibility and purpose. Deadlines must be met and goals accomplished.

With students on the move again, we must all increase our safety awareness. Students will be walking, bicycling, driving to school. Buses will traverse our major highways and backroads, picking up students and letting them off. Be aware. Adults have the responsibility to look after the youngsters in our midst. They are not always predictable as they joyfully dash either to or from a bus. Watch out for them.

In another sense, watch out for their involvement in school activities, too. Your interest, attendance and concern mean more than many students, especially those of the teenage variety, will ever let on.

As the season begins to change, the nights will become cooler and soon there will be a hint of fall in the air. Before you know it, it will be time for football games, beautiful leaves, apples and wiener roasts.

It’s time to gear up for the 2019-20 school year. Working together, Pike County can continue to support our most valuable resource – our children.

DRUG REFORM PLAN STILL NEEDED

he White House just axed a proposal that would have made medicines more affordable for patients living with mental illness. Had the change taken effect, millions of Americans would have found it easier to afford the medicines they need.

I’ve made it my life’s mission to help Americans who are battling mental illnesses.

While serving in the House of Representatives, I authored and co-sponsored bills to improve treatment of mental health disorders. And I’ve continued to advocate for these patients since leaving Congress.

Each year, millions of Americans confront mental illness.

Roughly one in six Americans relies on some form of psychi-

atric medication.

Many patients struggle to afford the medications that keep them healthy. In 2017, nearly half of people battling a mental illness went without treatment, according to the U.S. Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration. Almost half of those patients cited cost as the reason.

Findley will be greatly missed

Mr. Trump. Are we saying that people with delusions of grandeur should be locked up because they might potentially be a domestic terrorist?

A Stanford Geospatial Center database compiled data on shooters who killed four RU PRUH SHRSOH LQ WKH 86 VLQFH 2I the 88 shooters who met that criteria, only 14.8 percent had been diagnosed with a psychotic disorder prior to the event. And even for them, it’s hard to say with any certainty that mental illness caused or contributed to their shooting. Attacks that target large numbers of people requires a level of planning and organization that is not easily accomplished by those with serious mental illness. White males make up the majority RI GRPHVWLF WHUURULVWV WUDFNHG VLQFH We obviously cannot target to institutionalize white males just because they are white males.

Doctors and scientists generally agree that the perpetrators of such events are frequently angry young men, who feel that society has mistreated them and therefore seek to extract some kind of revenge. The problem, however, is that tens of thousands RI LQGLYLGXDOV ÂżW WKDW GHVFULSWLRQ Âą \HW WKH vast majority do not commit a mass shooting. How do we separate before the fact all those people that might be angry or somewhat delusional and not going to commit domestic terrorism from those that might be angry or somewhat delusional and going to commit domestic terrorism? Do we suspend the rights of free speech and due process in order to involuntarily institutionalize those that we suspect might be on the road to domestic terrorism? Is that preferable to removing the right to own assault style weapons with capabilities of using 100 shell magazines?

PICKINGS FROM PIKE’S PAST 75 YEARS AGO: CIO ATTACKS JESS THOMPSON

150 Years Ago Aug. 26, 1869 Reports come to us from all parts of the country of excessive heat. In this area it has been terrible, the thermometer having at times gone over 97 degrees. Plowing for wheat is stopped, the ground being thoroughly baked, and neither man nor beast being able to endure it.

Somebody sends us a copy of the Carthage Gazette in ZKLFK ZH ÂżQG WKH IROORZLQJ “Look at Pike County with her thin white oak ridges, VWRQ\ SRLQWV RYHUĂ€RZLQJ and marshy bottom lands, no railroads, and a Democratic majority of from 500 to 1,000, and still behold her 25 years in advance of us.â€?

We do learn that the railroad has reached New Salem, and that the town is alive with business.

The absence of President Grant and every member of the cabinet from Washington is unprecedented in the history of the country. It is not known when they will return, and important subjects demanding prompt attention are being left entirely to subordinates.

We learn from farmers who have thrashed their wheat crops that it is not turning out equal to their expectations.

In some cases where a yield of 25 bushels to the acre was expected, only 15 bushels have been turned out.

The report that circulated so freely yesterday that the packet boat “Illinois� had exploded and burnt, proved to be entirely false.

125 Years Ago Aug. 22, 1894 Tomorrow the reunion of the 99th Illinois Volunteers will come off at Perry, and the “old boys� will be out in force.

The GAR reunion at Nebo

was an immense gathering and everything passed off pleasantly. An estimate of the crowd varies from 7,000 to 10,000. Every man, woman and child from upper Calhoun county was there.

Those Nebo people are to be congratulated upon their energy, hospitality, and the boom they give their town.

Bids for construction of the proposed K.P. opera house were way above the $6,000 limit, the nearest being $11,000. The architect will prepare plans that will come within the amount to be expended on the building.

Last Monday night there was a church festival at Sunny Hill, and late in the evening it looked very stormy, so they moved into the school house. One school director was very angry, and threatened to have them arrested, but could not get a lawyer to take his case. Woe be unto such people.

John Fletcher, under the direction of Supervisor W. S. Loyd, performed an operation in tree surgery on one of the large elm trees in the southwest corner of the public square last week.

The M.D. King Milling Co. took in 5100 bushels of wheat on Monday, which they claim is more than they have received from the farmers of Pike in one day for 10 years.

R. N. Chapman sold the east part of his 80-acre farm to W. E. Penstone and son and the west part to Michael McGinley.

Did you know?

The American Academy of Family Physicians notes that children should get at least one hour of physical activity per day.

The AAFP notes that many kids easily achieve that marker simply by being children and engaging in the activities kids are drawn to each day, such as running, climbing and playing games like tag with other youngsters.

The Canadian Paediatric Society notes that exercise needs change as children advance through various stages in life, and that means activities should change along with them. For example,

the CPS recommends that physical activities for toddlers should be fun and encourage children to explore and try new things.

Unstructured physical activity or free play can benefit toddlers. As toddlers become preschoolers, physical activities can become more structured, though the CPS notes that children this age may not understand the rules of organized sports nor are they necessarily coordinated enough to participate in them. However, structured activities like games of tag and throwing and catching may be appropriate for some pre-

schoolers. As children enter kindergarten and advance through elementary school, physical activities can be moderate to vigorous in intensity. Organized sports can become part of the fitness regimen at this time, though the CPS recommends short instruction times, flexible rules, free time in practices, and a focus on fun rather than competition.

Parents who want to learn about age-appropriate physical activities can encourage their children to embrace fitness and are urged to speak with their childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s physicians.

What parents can do to reduce SIDS risk

Parents of newborns and infants face many challenges throughout a typical day. At the end of a long day tending to their youngstersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; every need, parents may think their work for the day is nearly done as bedtime approaches.

But a parentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s work is never done, and parents have some especially important work to do in regard to protecting their children when they go down to sleep.

Expecting parents and parents of newborns and infants have no doubt heard of SIDS, an acronym for Sudden Infant Death Syndrome, but may not fully understand it. And theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not alone. In fact, the American SIDS Institute notes that, in an attempt to clarify the sometimes confusing terminology around SIDS, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recently suggested changing some of that terminology. Those suggestions included introducing the term Sudden Unexpected Infant Death, or SUID. Learning to distinguish between SUID and SIDS is a great first step for parents looking to reduce their youngstersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; risk of accidental death while sleeping.

What is the difference between SUID and SIDS? The CDC introduced the term SUID so it could serve as a broad term that encompasses all sudden infant deaths. SIDS falls under the umbrella of SUID, but so, too, do accidental deaths, such as suffoca-

tion and strangulation; sudden natural deaths, such as those caused by infections, disorders and neurological conditions; and homicides. The Mayo Clinic notes that SIDS is the unexplained death, typically during sleep, of a seemingly healthy baby who is less than one year old.

What can parents do to reduce SIDS risk?

Parents are not helpless against SIDS. In fact, moms and dads can start taking steps to reduce SIDS risk before their children are even born.

The American SIDS Institute offers these tips to parents in the hopes that they can reduce SIDS risk.

Q Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t smoke. Exposure to cigarette smoke before or after birth raises SIDS risk. Parents and anyone else should never smoke near a baby. Using drugs such as cocaine and heroin also increases SIDS risk.

Q Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t bed-share. Parents should not fall asleep with their babies in their beds or while holding their babies in a chair or sofa. Babies should always sleep separately from their parents and other children.

Q Place the baby in a bare crib. Babies should sleep in bare cribs with no covers, pillows, bumper pads, or positioning devices.

Q Follow the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Back is bestâ&#x20AC;? rule. When placing a baby down to sleep, always place the child on his or her back.

Follow this rule at all times,

File photo

even when children are fretful, in need of extra comfort or have a cold. Babies with colds are at higher risk for SIDS. Q Prioritize prenatal care. A healthy full-term baby is more likely to live past infancy than a child born prematurely.

Q Offer a pacifier. Breastfeeding mothers can offer their babies a pacifier after the child has learned to feed. The American SIDS Institute notes that various studies have found a lower risk of sleep-related death when babies use pacifiers. Pacifiers should not be attached to the baby or crib, as doing so can present a choking hazard.

Q Practice tummy time.

Interactive tummy time on a play mat on the floor can help babies strengthen their bodies. That strength can make it easier for them turn over onto their backs should they end up on their stomachs while sleeping.

SIDS is a serious concern that parents must not take lightly. Learn more by visiting the American SIDS Institute at www.sids.org.

Bomb threat causes evacuation of northwest Barry near school

By BETH ZUMWALT Pike Press A bomb threat on the third day of school was not planned for Western Schools in Barry, but that is what teachers, students and administrators dealt with.

The Pike County Sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Office received a call Friday morning around 8:14 a.m.of a bomb being in the oven at a house at 466 Tremont, which is directly across from the school.

The Pike County Sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Department along with the Illinois State Police, The Barry Fire Department and Pike County EMS were dispatched to the scene following the report.

Western High School and residences within the immediate area were evacuated.

No bomb was found on the initial investigation but the Secretary of State Bomb Detection did a sweep of the house later that morning, but, found nothing suspicious. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our plan for evacuation went exactly as we planned,â&#x20AC;? Jessica Funk, superintendent of Western School, said.

Funk said she received the call about 8:20 a.m. and began evacuating immediately. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We told the high school kids what was happening,â&#x20AC;? Funk said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t in the elementary but Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m

Two officers from the Secretary of Stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bomb squad, along with a K9 dog, check out a house in Barry at 466 Tremont Friday morning after a bomb threat was phoned in. The residence is directly across the street from the Western School that houses K-5 and the high school.

sure they were not given much information. Bomb is a scary word.â&#x20AC;?

Funk said the students were taken to Kinderhook Junior High and put in classrooms to watch a movie or something to keep them entertained. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was expecting it to be a lot longer than it was,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We got the all clear just after 10.â&#x20AC;?

Funk said the cooks were evacuated, along with everyone else, so younger students stayed at Kinderhook for lunch and returned when they were through eating, while high school students and cafeteria workers returned immediately and had lunch prepared and ate later.

Funk said the parents of students were very cooperative.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had parents come to Kinderhook and pickup their children, others came by, hugged their child and left them at the school.

Once we got back to Barry, the parents brought their kids to the school. I think that was good because it let the students know their school is safe.â&#x20AC;?

During the incident, one person was transported to the Pike County Sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Department for questioning. The investigation is still ongoing but no arrests have been made. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The community should know that the area was cleared and there was never a threat to anyone or the school,â&#x20AC;?

Sheriff David Greenwood, adding he expects no charges to be filed in the incident.

Accused murderer Poor appears in escape trial

By DAVID CAMPHOUSE Pike Press Pittsfieldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s William Poor was transported from Randolph Countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Menard Correctional Facility to appear before Judge Frank McCartney at the Pike County Courthouse Tues, Aug. 13 in an attempt by Poor to reverse a plea agreement he entered into with the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s attorney in June, 2018.

The defendant, Poor, was originally charged with class two felony â&#x20AC;&#x153;escapeâ&#x20AC;? but pled guilty to a reduced class three felony charge of â&#x20AC;&#x153;failure to return from furloughâ&#x20AC;? after Poor fled an inpatient substance abuse treatment program, in which Poor was participating while in custody for a domestic battery conviction.

Following the guilty plea Poor was sentenced to four years in the Department of Corrections.

Poor expressed that he was unhappy with the strict conditions of his incarceration and his inability to take part in educational programming and other activities while in prison.

Poor also took issue with his placement at maximum security Menard Correctional Facility in Southern Illinois.

Established in 1878, Menard is the second oldest Department of Corrections facility and is the largest maximum security prison in the state - with an operational capacity of 3,881 male inmates.

Judge McCartney stressed to the defendant that the court has no say in where the Department of Corrections places inmates after sentencing.

Stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Attorney Zach Boren argued that the defendant knowingly entered into the plea agreement and understood the potential sentence that the guilty plea carried

good GROWING Keeping you growing with good ideas s University of Illinois Extension

Compost tea: a miracle product or snake oil I love compost. If you have ever sat in one of my classes, you will know that, no. 1, soil tests can be so important; no.

2, always read and follow your pesticides labels; and no. 3, I love compost!

Compost is derived from once-living organisms, think weeds or apple cores, or the by-product of a living organism, such as manure. Compost also comes in a variety of forms. You can have worm compost, mushroom compost, manure compost, or yard waste compost.

A trend that has been growing in popularity is to use compost to create liquid leachates to spray on our yards and gardens. This practice has been termed â&#x20AC;&#x153;compost teaâ&#x20AC;?. To make compost tea a person needs some specialized equipment: A large bucket of water, an air stone or aerator to keep the water oxygenated, molasses or sugar, a burlap sack, and compost. The compost goes in the burlap sack and placed in the bucket of water to steep like a tea.

Meanwhile, the molasses or sugar goes in to jump-start bacterial growth, and the air stone keeps the bubbles coming so the bacteria donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t suffocate. It sounds very folksy, at least to me. Additionally, making compost tea seems like a lot of work. And to do what exactly?

The claims made by those companies that sell this product and individuals that

have developed their own recipes is that by brewing a concoction of microbes in this liquid and spraying it on your plant leaves, you create competition for all the bad plant pathogens and in effect have fewer disease problems on our plants.

Moreover, compost tea works as a liquid fertilizer.

So does compost tea really work? No. Well, not really. It does give a feeding directly to the foliage of plants, even though plants canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t absorb all the nutrients through their leaves. More importantly, scientific studies are showing that compost tea often has no effect on disease control, in fact, some scientists claim the opposite effect occurs with more disease!

Compost placed around plants as mulch does have beneficial effects on reducing soil-borne diseases. That has been documented repeatedly. And it does make sense to think that soildwelling organisms that decompose once-living material would have an effect on the soil. But why are we to assume these soil-dwelling microbes will have a beneficial effect outside of the soil on plant leaves?

There are so many microbes to study, that each compost tea solution would have a different ratio of microscopic living things, making this a very difficult

concept to study. It is difficult, if not impossible, to isolate a single part of a compost tea concoction for study.

Which leads to my next point, not all microbes found in compost are good for humans. There are serious human health concerns due to those who spray compost tea on fruits and vegetables because if you are stimulating good bacteria, would you also be enhancing the growth of bad bacteria, like E. coli? Using an aerator is touted to prevent the growth of harmful bacteria, but lab studies have shown otherwise.

And yes, there are people who believe in this product so much that they will drink it. Rather reminds me of the tales of RoundUp salespeople that would drink RoundUp to show farmers how safe it was.

There is a way to make compost tea without using air pumps and molasses.

Spread a one- to two-inch layer of compost on the ground around your plants and let nature make the tea for you.

Good Growing Tip of the Week: Will compost tea save the world? Not according to current science. Science and the compost tea industry disagree on the effects of compost tea. Save yourself time, money, and electricity and use compost in the landscape. Leave the tea in the kitchen.
