K2 stymies law enforcement by bETH ZUMWaLT Pike Press Paul Petty, sheriff of Pike County, has chosen to be proactive against K2, a synthetic cannabinoid with effects similar to marijuana.

The drug is marketed as incense that can be smoked.

It is a mixture of herbs, spices and/or shredded plant material with a synthetic compound similar to THS, the psychoactive ingredient in marijuana.

Petty has seen a rise in the usage of K2 and with Pike County experiencing its first death from a K2 overdose recently, he is more determined to bring awareness that, although it appears to be harmless, it is anything but.

“It is so readily available and is sold in businesses so people think it is safe,”

Historical Society plans monument to Higbee

by bETH ZUMWaLT Pike Press Two men interested in keeping the history of Higbee School alive appeared at the Pittsfield City Council meeting last week with a plan for a memorial to the school which is in the process of being demolished.

Robert Evans and Lloyd Lawber presented the council with a rough sketch of what the memorial might look like.

“We would like to build a memorial and showcase some of what I call the gingerbread stuff,” Evans said. “Lloyd has purchased the columns and some other pieces are available.”

Lawber said their were 15 columns, six feet high, at the top of the building and two

more that are taller near the entryway on Adams Street, as well as the Chauncy Higbee name piece.

“We are also hoping to get some of the florets, as I call them,” Evans said.

According to the sketch, the memorial would be about 10-feet long and flanked by the two 10-foot columns from near the entryway. Bricks from Higbee would make an 8-foot wall inbetween with the red tile from the building on top.

A brick walkway would surround the memorial with two benches and flowers, hopefully provided by the local garden club.

The two men say they would like to put the memorial on the corner of Jefferson and Jackson (See, higbee, A2)

County approves support for medical cannabis center

by JEanETTE WaLLacE Pike Press The Pike County Board approved a letter of support for a medical cannabis cultivation center at its meeting Monday, Aug. 25.

The applicants for the center are the operators of the Rinella Company Inc, which is a licensed alcoholic beverage distributor and the cultivation center would be located at the corner of Interstate 72 and Il Hwy 107.

Board member Michael Boren, who voted No for the letter of support, had some concerns about allowing it.

“It’s my observation and my opinion that almost everyone who becomes addicted to drugs starts off with marijuana,” Boren said. “It’s my opinion that medical cannabis is just one step to recreational cannabis.”

Board member Dr. Dan Mefford made a statement in favor of the letter of support, likening the laws against marijuana to the prohibition of alcohol in the 1920s.

“I am a product of years when we started the war on drugs, and I was a kid, and if you ask me if the war on drugs has decreased, it has not,” Mefford said. “I think perhaps another approach similar to

alcohol is better.”

The board approved the letter with a roll-call vote. Boren and Cleve Curry voted No and James Sheppard voted present.

“I had spoken to the state’s attorney and he advised me to recuse myself,” Sheppard said, explaining that there was a conflict of interest because he works with the people who own the property.

The board also approved a resolution opposing the expansion of the federal definition of “Waters of the United States” to include non-navigable ditches and stormwater flows in communities.

The resolution states that “the expansion of federal control over local activities within normally dry ditches would significantly impact routine maintenance and repair of county infrastructure, including installation of signs and culverts, removal of storm debris, cleaning of ditches and mowing and chemical treatment to remove unsightly vegetation along roads…”

Board member Justin Noble made a statement near the end of the meeting about board members receiving unsigned letters from the public.

“If you think it’s important enough to write a letter to board members, you can sign (See, cannabis, A2)

Petty said. “Our legislature has not done a good job of keeping up with this.”

The Illinois legislature has outlawed some strains of K2, but not all.

According to Matt Goetten, interim Pike County State’s Attorney, the difficulty is the vast number of chemical make-ups that can fall within the K2 generic designation.

“The difficulty is that the chemicals change faster than the legislatures can act,” Goetten said. “I think the legislature is aware of the issue but probably feels somewhat helpless. Any legislation that includes all of these chemicals (and future chemicals) would probably be too broad, constitutionally speaking. Adding them as they come up is too slow.

by bETH ZUMWaLT Pike Press The Pittsfield and East Pike Fire Departments were at JBS United last week training with their grain bin rescue equipment.

“JBS United staff provided us with everything we needed to train, and took our firefighters on a facility tour to familiarize us with the operation,” Jason White, chief of the PFD, said. “They have been very proactive in helping us achieve the training and the equipment we needed to rescue someone if need be, but let’s hope it never happens.”

JBS was one of the biggest donors that contributed to the PFD to purchase the equipment, along with the Pike County Farm Bureau, Farm Safety for Kids and Del Richter. The PFD then used their fundraising money to purchase the ropes, harnesses and other equipment needed to go with it.

Cost of the tube itself was $3,500.

The grain bin tube surrounds a victim in a cocoon of safety while emergency workers vacuum the grain out of the area. Harnesses allow workers to then pull the victim to stable ground. Workers stand on plastic boxes, that give a snowshoe like effect to keep them from sinking into the grain.

The workers not only concentrated on performing their task but also in keeping the victim calm by explaining what they were doing and how it was going to work.

Left, Jeff bonnett of the PFD and Jim butler of East Pike try to secure Grimsley in the grain where he has been “trapped.” a yellow plastic tube is used to encase Grimsley and then vacuum the corn and pull the victim to safety.

Randy Bleich of JBS United said grain bin rescues are always tricky and while corn or other grain will not suffocate a victim until it blocks the nose or mouth, cutting off the air, it still can be deadly.

“It is not going to crush the chest or break ribs or anything,” Bleich said. “But it will get in the nose and mouth and shut off breathing.”

Time is of the essence in a grain bin rescue and that is why it is important to train regularly so

emergency workers are prepared to react on instinct and not have to stop and think about what comes next, according to White.

“We train on it every year inhouse, and some of our personnel have went out and done the Illinois Fire Service Institute Training which shows different techniques,” White said.” I thought the training went welll. It was pretty warm which simulates the conditions we usually work in those types of situations.”

While St. Mary’s has been selling vegetables for the past two or three years, this is the first year it has used a stand created by one of the parishioners.

St. Mary’s selling vegetables

By Jeannette Wallace Pike Press People passing St. Mary’s Church in Pittsfield may have noticed a stand selling vegetables this summer.

“This is the first time we’ve had that little stand there,” Father Mark Schulte said.

While he has sold vegetables there for the past two or three years, he usually used a table. A parishioner built the stand to be used this year.

Schulte sells vegetables from his own garden and the stand is self-serve. The church relies on the

honor system, allowing a free will donation.

“I have a little sign there that says take what you need and leave an offering,” Schulte said.

Currently the stand has tomatoes and sweet corn, but the church tries to keep it well stocked with vegetables that are in season. This year the church will be selling pumpkins during the fall, as well.

Father Schulte explained that often parishioners donate vegetables.

“Other people have been very kind and if they have extra vegetables in their garden they bring them by,” Schulte said.

He has been gardening since he

was a boy, helping with his grandparents’ farmers market in Quincy.

“I have an ag background so I quite enjoy gardening,” Schulte said. “It’s very important to have some knowledge about how to grow your own vegetables.”

He explained that he decided to sell the vegetables because he thinks it brings a sense of community to the area. All the money earned from the stand is being used to help pay for the church’s renovation.

“I think it brings people together in the community,” Schulte said.

“I’m very appreciative. The parish, too.”

Higbee

(Continued from A1) on a lot the city acquired after it was abandoned by the owner.

“Why not put it on the lawn at the East School?” asked Mayor John Hayden. “Or on the lot where Higbee sits now, if they ever get it cleaned up?”

Evans said the historical board had been approached about putting something on the lawn of the Historic East School before and declined, saying they didn’t want to disturb the look of the lawn.

“And Higbee sits on private property now,” Evans said. “We don’t know what the owner’s future plans are.”

Hayden said the lot is very small, about 70 X 80, and he thought the city might donate it to the Pike County Historical Society since it would have limited use for any other project.

Evans said he would have to check with the Historical Society’s

board before accepting the offer because if the PCHS accepted the donation, they would have to assume responsibility for it – mowing and upkeep.

“Our board would have to OK that,” he said.

Lawber said he thought the memorial was appropriate as he guessed tens of thousands of students attended the school and Evans added it would be a shame to let the artifacts from the school get disbursed all over the country and none kept local.

Hayden told the men to check with the PCHS board and let them know what they want to do.

“We will work with you, whatever you decide,” Hayden said.

Evans and Lawber agreed and before leaving Evans told the council he was also working on an all wars museum for the former VFW building, located on the Historic East School property. He said there

will be a meeting in September with a representative from a Quincy Museum that will give the committee direction.

At the meeting, the council also agreed to allow the city police department to purchase $19, 935 worth of new radio equipment.

The equipment will include a repeater, three mobile devices and seven hand-held radios.

The city will have to get a new FCC license for the radios and place the antenna on the city’s water tower.

The council had 9-1-1 coordinator Sandy Schacht attend the public safety meeting and explain how communication with the city police is near non-existent due to the outdated, heavily worn, radios currently being used.

The police will also get new doors, windows and furnace for their building across the alley from city hall.

The bridge project in Detroit consists of replacing an existing culvert, equipment hire and aggregate. The total project cost is $6,882.62 and the county’s half is $3,441.31.

(Continued from A1) The addiction got so bad and Rinehart’s need so consuming, she started selling the drug in order to pay for her own habit.

“At first I could go to Hannibal or Springfield, Ill., and get it,” she said.

“When I first started they sold it in vending machines in some places.”

But as more and more places started to crack down on the notas-harmless-as-it-seems drug, it became more difficult to obtain.

“I was having to drive clear down to a couple of little towns by Springfield, Mo., to get it,” she said. “I could get what I had to have for about $200 but then I needed $50 worth of gas.”

Rinehart said she had started out smoking a gram a day but by the time she quit, was up to 10-12 grams a day.

“Anything over 3.5 grams, they consider you are dealing the stuff,” she said. “I needed more than that, just for me.”

Rinehart said her addiction became so strong, she, literally, went to sleep with her lighter and her pipe in her hand so it would be readily available when she awoke.

Rinehart was living in Nebo in a relative’s house and was selling K2 when she met her boyfriend.

“He was involved in K2, also,” she said. “He started coming to me if he needed some for his customers and he was out.”

The two struck up a friendship that turned romantic and then progressed into a small crime wave, about which Rinehart says she was unaware.

“It was not a Bonnie and Clyde type thing,” she said. “I didn’t even know what was going on.”

The two have been accused of burglarizing several residences and properties in the Calhoun and Pike area. She is also charged with possession of a look-alike substance.

Rinehart is free on bond after receiving a recognizance bond in Pike and having her bond dropped significantly in Calhoun. The boy-

friend remains lodged. The two were apprehended in Arkansas and found to be in possession of several allegedly stolen items and items allegedly purchased with stolen money.

Rinehart says she was unaware and only signed the papers regarding the purchase of some of the items because she believed they were buying them on a payment plan.

She wants to get her life back together and has taken this latest arrest as a wake-up call.

“I have had a horrible life,” she said. “My parents abandoned me and my siblings when I was three.

They left us in a motel room in Vegas and a cleaning lady found us.”

After a few bad foster care experiences, Rinehart was adopted by an aunt and uncle in Arkansas where Rinehart says she was the victim of physical, emotional and mental abuse.

“My uncle got me into weed and alcohol when I was 13 because he knew how mean my aunt was to me,” Rinehart said. “I came to Nebo to live with my grandmother, who re-adopted me.” Later, another family took Rinehart in.

“I am thankful for Andy and Lisa Tipsword. They took me into their home and gave me a chance.”

Rinehart said she hit her rebellious teenage years and even with the Tipswords giving her the stable life she had craved, she left Nebo, going back to Arkansas where she got into a downward spiral, mainly because of her poor choices in friends.

“I took off as soon as I was able and by age 21 had almost died of alcohol poisoning. I still do not drink alcohol. I moved to Heber Springs, Ark, to a trailer park where every other trailer was a meth lab. I started doing meth. I was injecting myself regularly by the time I was 23 when I got busted the first time.”

By this time, Rinehart had married to a man whose behavior bordered on abusive and was also a drug user. When arrested the first time she had a five-year-old son.

Rinehart did a short stint in jail and

nine months in a rehab center and stayed clean for “quite a while” after her release.

“But then I ran into some old friends, ‘triggers,’ I call them, and I started using again. I went back to rehab but only stayed 17 days. I tried crack but didn’t like it. It gave me headaches and the highs never lasted,” she said.

She eventually ended up back in rehab and tried to get back on her feet and came back to Nebo to get away from the “triggers.”

“But then my husband and I started having troubles and I had a lot of stresses and I got into the K2 because I didn’t know how bad it was,” she said.

Rinehart said while she was on meth, she suffered the usual ramifications of the drug.

“I got meth mouth and now I have false teeth,” she said. “I looked 90 years old.” Rinehart is 33.

As bad as the meth was, Rinehart says K2 has been worse.

“K2 nearly killed me and if I stay on it, it will,” she said. “I have the beginning of COPD and lots of other side effects of the drugs in it.”

Rinehart has started outpatient rehab and is determined to stay drug free. She would like to finish an associate’s degree she started a few years ago in landscaping and turf management.

“I just have one class left and an internship,” she said, but added she faces a significant roadblock. “I can’t find a certified landscaper to let me do an internship with them because of my background.”

Rinehart is confident she will be exonerated on the theft charges.

As far as her possession of a look-alike substance charge, she says the K2 she had the day she was arrested is not on the forbidden list. She believes she will be found innocent in that case, as well.

“I am a Christian,” she said. “I want to start going to a church that will accept me and not look down on me because I have made mistakes.”

Enforcement (Continued from A1) been proactive reaching out to legislators, so we will see.”

As early as 2011, the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) placed five synthetic cannabinoids on the list of schedule I drugs.

Schedule 1 drugs are those that have a high potential for abuse and have no currently accepted medical use. Cannabis, opiates and morphine are all included in this category.

Petty says states are supposed to adopt the DEA guidelines within a very short window of time but the Illinois legislature has been slow to react.

Petty agrees the problem is that many chemicals can fall within the “K2” generic designation. “K2” was one of the first terms for the drug and it has stuck much like a brand name – Jello as a word for any gelatin, for example.

“Some are legal, some are not,” Petty said. “It makes it impossible for law enforcement to monitor.”

Penny Rinehart, an admitted K2 addict, recently agreed to let Petty video her in the throes of her withdrawal, while she described what she was feeling.

“I sent 12 of those videos to legislators,” Petty said. “I purposely picked both urban and rural legislators. I sent a letter with the video and asked whoever opened it to be sure the legislator saw it. It was a short video and I told them the length and to be sure to watch to the end.”

To date, Petty has gotten no

response from any of the legislators but received assurances from the staff members that the video will be watched.

Calls to the local state legislators Senator Sam McCann and Rep. C.D. Davidsmeyer by the Pike Press were not returned.

Just this week, New Hampshire has declared a state of emergency on synthetic marijuana. The move empowers the state’s department of health and human services to investigate, isolate and quarantine, plus requires the destruction of all synthetic marijuana. The move comes after 41 people were treated for medical reactions, another 20 have been taken by ambulance and three of those cases occurred in a 24hour period. And those were cases reported in only two municipalities.

Petty said K2 has not gotten the attention meth, cocaine and even heroin has received but it is just as addictive and just as life-threatening.

When a young man in the county recently died, Petty said his symptoms were classic K2 overdose. An autopsy confirmed Petty’s suspicion.

“National statistics say the common user is between 19-29,” Petty said. “But I would argue that the ages affected are more 14-50,” he said.

Users will exhibit severe vomiting and will have seizures or seizurelike activity, according to Petty, who says he is contacting area hospitals and asking that patients, especially those within the profile who present

with seizure or seizure-like activity accompanied by vomiting, have K2 testing added to the protocol of treatment.

“Especially if they have never been diagnosed with an seizurerelated illness before,” he said.

Petty said controlling the drug is difficult, even the illegal types, because it is still legal in some areas.

One regional tavern sold it in vending machine until recently, he said.

“A lot of places did sell it but several have stopped now due to the added paperwork and rules,” Petty said. “Just like Sudafed, it became more trouble than it was worth.”

Rinehart said she drove to the Springfield, Mo. area and even Kansas City to get her K2.

“There are head shops where you can buy it through the drivethrough,” Petty said.

In at attempt to make their communities safer, several municipalities have adopted their own ordinances.

According to Goetten, the problem with local enforcement is it is regulatory only.

“In other words, Pike County could prohibit the possession of these drugs but could only fine violators. Jailing is not an option for political subdivisions,” Goetten said. “That said, many counties and local municipalities have enacted ordinances. I think Jersey County has but I doubt they are very effective in prevention.”

By BETH ZUMWALT Pike Press NAPA, the auto parts store in Pittsfield owned by Tim and Nancy Halpin, will be expanding into the building now being used as the Pike County Health Department.

Pike County Health Department Administrator, Anita Andress, RN, BSN, announced the pending sale last week of the property located at 113 E. Jefferson St. in Pittsfield.

“We will continue to keep our lease on the building in which we are currently located,” Tim Halpin, said. “We will expand, allowing us to serve more customers.”

Halpin said customer service areas would be in both the new and old buildings once the transaction and move has been made.

The Pike County Health Department as been at 113 E. Jefferson since 1984.

With the Pike County Dental Clinic now operating out of the former QMG building at 606 W. Adams St, plans are to consolidate all the health department programs and services at 606 W. Adams Street.

This plan includes renovation of the south side of the Adams St. building and an addition on the west side

of the building, to allow adequate space for all health department services to operate out of one location.

“It has been quite challenging to operate services and manage staff at two separate locations. Combining all health department services in one location will be much more cost effective and will also be much more convenient for our clients,” Andress said. “This plan also presents a great opportunity for the Halpins to expand their business in close proximity to their current location.”

If work progresses according to plans, the entire health department services and staff will be housed at the 606 W. Adams St. location by December of 2014.

Tim Halpin said, “We look forward to having a larger, more modern auto parts store. This will give us the ability to offer more products to our customers.”

Halpins lease their current facility from the Shaw Trust Fund.

There has been an auto parts store in that location for the past 30 years, according to Halpin, who has had the business the past 15.

“Before that it was Shaw’s Appliance store,” he said. “That sold out and became Ideal Hardware.”

1. The protesters have every right to take to the streets.

2. Police agencies should restore order by whatever means necessary.

3. The situation makes me less likely to visit anywhere in the St. Louis area.

This week, Pike Press is honoring volunteer firefighters in Pike County.

We have a special section in this issue, showing you the people who put their lives on the line for you. We hope you will take the time to look at every page.

Your friends and neighbors, who will drop everything to run to your aid in time of emergency, are pictured there.

Look at their faces. Take a moment to appreciate their selflessness, the countless hours they volunteer.

Better yet, make a mental note of those names and faces. The next time you see them, offer a hug, a handshake, a pat on the back…along with a heartfelt “Thank you!”

Our formula for success here in rural America is a little different than in major metropolitan areas. We know each other, we care and we look out for each other.

Volunteerism is a key component that keeps our communities healthy, vibrant and functioning. Not only do firefighters take on the emergency situations, they and others in their communities also spend time fundraising for needed equipment. Firefighters volunteer at community events and work to teach fire safety to the next generation. And when firefighters have a stand at the local festival, the community comes out to be supportive.

We are exceptionally fortunate to have trained and effective volunteer firefighters in our communities.

We salute each one!

Autumn in most states brings cool mornings and warm evenings. It’s the days that country folks enjoy the screen door and open windows. The air seems cleaner and fresher, and the once hazy skies are now as clear as a mountain stream.

The most prominent signs of fall are the leaves that are changing from hues of green into colors as different as the trees themselves. My part of the country is known for the beautiful fall colors

that cover the mountains like Joseph’s coat of many colors. During the summer months, from a distance, every tree looks the same. The hills seem covered with one big blob of green. And while the evergreens may stand out by their needles, the rest of the landscape is uniform. Each tree has thrived under the good conditions of spring and summer.

When the pressure of fall comes, each tree begins to show its own unique colors.

Fall is not the time of plenty. It is the time of lack. This lack is what causes the leaves to turn. We might say that when each tree is under the pressure of a lack of sustenance it begins to show its true colors. The

same can be said about us.

Many times in our life we are forced under some pressure. One of the most common pressures is the one that comes from a perceived lack of what we need. As with any pressure we are squeezed to the point that what is inside comes out. We show our true colors.

Now, this doesn’t mean that one bad moment is the determining factor of who we really are. But pressure that is put on us over time will reveal what we are made of. What we need to understand is that many times it is God who is applying the pressure to us.

He is not doing it so He can find out

what we will do – He already knows.

But He is doing it so we can know and so that we can see what is truly in our own heart and if we really do trust in God who has promised to provide everything we may need.

FERMILAB LOOKING INTO THE SMALLEST THINGS

s I scribble a note for this column, I am standing 350 feet underground at a research experiment that is sending beams of trillions of neutrinos underground to a detector located 500 miles away in Minnesota.

I am at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (Fermilab) in west suburban Chicago, where Big Science—and big achievements—are the hallmark of the sprawling lab.

Illinois has two national laboratories out of 17 in the country that are operated by the U.S. Department of Energy—Argonne in southwestern suburban Lemont is the other.

Together the labs expend more than a billion dollars a year and employ 5,000 people, about half of whom are scientists and engineers.

Between 1983 and 2011, Fermilab was home to the world’s largest particle accelerator and collider, the Tevatron. Scientists used Tevatron to discover, among other things, the top and bottom quarks, subatomic particles that are important building blocks of nature.

But in 2012, a larger collider began operating in Switzerland. The Large Hadron Collider at Europe’s particle accelerator lab, CERN, diminished the role of Fer-

milab, although the lab’s scientists work intimately with CERN on experiments.

This generated soul-searching and angst at Fermilab, which needed a new flagship mission.

The lab’s leaders decided to become the world leader in neutrino research, which they feel represents the next big frontier in particle science.

Neutrinos are among the most abundant particles in the world. Each second, trillions of neutrinos pass through our bodies. But neutrinos interact so rarely with other particles that they are very difficult to detect.

The Standard Model for understanding particles had predicted that neutrinos would not have mass, but researchers in Japan and the U.S., including at Fermilab, have shown that the tiny particles do indeed have some mass.

This has possibly profound implications for the Standard Model, which may need amendment in order to accommodate the finding that neutrinos have mass.

So neutrino research is a hot field for efforts to understand the creation of the universe.

In addition to neutrino research already underway at Fermilab, the lab is pushing for a $1.5 billion Long-Baseline Neutrino

Facility, which would send streams of neutrinos (underground, no tunnel needed) more than 1,000 miles to a detector in South Dakota.

Because the U.S. government cannot fund this entire project, an international consortium of European and other nations is proposed. The project is not a done deal.

Fermilab is pushing ahead on other fronts, as well. For example, only 4 percent of the universe is visible. The rest comprises dark energy and dark matter.

Lab scientists designed and built a dark energy camera of 570 megapixels that takes images on a telescope in Chile.

The lab is also a leader in experiments that seek to capture particles of mysterious dark matter.

This is all pure theoretical and experimental science. The practical benefits to society come primarily from the technological innovations developed to aid the quest to understand the universe.

For example, a fact sheet from Fermilab notes that the World Wide Web was created by particle physicists who wanted to communicate their research findings more efficiently.

And a scientist at Fermilab believes that portable particle accelerators can be

used to seal highways to make them last longer.

Illinois fares poorly in terms of federal grants distributed to the states, ranking 38th in 2010 (the last year the government published the data) at $1,874 per capita versus a national average of $2,183.

If we were at the national average, we would receive about $3.7 billion more a year in federal grants. For example, because of an old formula, the federal government compensates Illinois at 50 percent of costs in the multi-billion dollar Medicaid program, whereas neighboring states are reimbursed at about 63 percent of their costs.

Thus it is all the more important that we work to sustain the health and productive futures for our state’s national laboratories.

Big Science generally, not always, operates above the fray of practical politics.

But it never hurts to tell our congressmen and women how invaluable we consider the work of our laboratories.

DIALING BACK THE CALENDAR

I

bought a “new” phone the other day.

My 6-year-old, Anna, gave it a perplexed look.

“Where’s the buttons, Daddy?”

“There isn’t any, dear. It’s what’s called a rotary phone.”

She gave it another skeptical look and walked away.

Yes, when I dial, I actually dial.

An hour or so later when my wife got home from work she, too, gave it a bewildered look and said, “Why did you install that old thing? It doesn’t even have Caller ID. How will we know whether to answer the phone or not?”

Folks, it’s not about nostalgia.

Sometimes, I think I just need a break

from technology.

Growing up, all the phones in our house had dials. The idea of push button technology was in its infancy. No one ever got stuck in voicemail hell. I remember watching a news program back in the ’70s where the reporter noted that someday people might have phones small enough to carry in their pockets – that weren’t connected to wires. My father just shook his head and said “I wouldn’t want to have a phone where I could be called anytime, anywhere.”

Flash forward 40 years and now he carries a cell phone with him wherever he goes.

I’m the same way — electronics seem to be taking over my life. My kids

make bookmarks at school but I have no way to use them with my Kindle. I bicycle 17 miles daily, but not through the country roads of Sangamon County.

Instead, I’m on a stationary bike at a gym, peering at movies on my iPad. And I have a phone in my pocket with an app for just about everything but curing cancer.

But, gosh, it’s hard to escape the constant stream of communication. Anyone can reach me anytime. Facebook posts, tweets, emails and phone calls pour in constantly. And my 8-year-old, Grace, loves to play games on the device.

When I was a kid, I was told a phone was nothing to play with. Today they are a source of entertainment. When I

walk into a restaurant, I see faces young and old enthralled with whatever is on that tiny screen.

Don’t people talk to one another face-to-face anymore?

Installing a dial phone won’t make those frustrations go away, of course.

But it does remind me of a simpler time when it was possible to hang up on technology – without pushing button.

The Coonridge Digest: Freida Marie Crump

Common Core is nothing to chuckle about GREETINGS FROM THE RIDGE Charlie Frankenhoff was a genius. No other word for it. And every year at the end of summer when I see the yellow school busses begin to roll past my house I think of Charlie.

Actually, his name was Mr. Frankenhoff to our freshman class of literature students, but outside the classroom we simply called him Chuckling Charlie. He taught English literature unless the school needed a Shakespeare instructor and he occasionally switched to modern literature if that’s what was required. Charlie’s specialty was not his subject matter but his personality, and his “Chuckling” label came from his delightful habit of finding nearly everything in life amusing, exciting, and downright happy. I sat through lectures on some pretty heady and tragic pieces of Shakespeare but none of these downers dampened Charlie’s ability to find the joy in good writing. I can remember him once asking a frightened young freshman, “Have you read Shakespeare?” and the poor kid replied. “No. Who wrote it?”

Charlie collapsed onto the floor of the classroom, hysterical with laughter.

Another teacher genius comes to mind and this fellow just recently retired. Ned Anderson was one of the finest science teachers to grace the halls of Coonridge High, and although his standards for behavior and scholarship

were the highest in the school, he remained one of the most beloved of instructors. Ned’s curriculum changed from year to year. In fact, it varied from day to day. If a young boy would bring an old bone into his biology class Ned would scrap whatever he had planned for the day’s lesson and the class would set about to discover what cow, raccoon or mastodon had left his leg in the kid’s back yard. Ned knew that the greatest learning came from curiosity and whenever he found an inquisitive mind in action he’d jump on top of it and before the class knew it the period would be over. He also gave extra points for any student who caught the teacher saying something wrong. “It keeps them listening close,” he told me. Ned smiled. Charlie would have chuckled.

I once saw Ned conduct a Jr. High science class by taking them into the woods, telling them that they’d have to spend the next week there and the only things they could eat are the plants that they find. “Now,” he said, “how are we going to do that?” One boy suggested that he feed his found berries to his sister and if she didn’t die then he’d eat the rest of them. Ned’s classes were like that….real learning coated with a veneer of sheer fun and excitement.

I’ll bet you’ve have had a teacher like this. I hope you have. . . an instructor who was not so much concerned with pouring knowledge into your head as giving you a real thirst to learn. . .for a lifetime.

Every decade or so the government with no training,

“

Every decade or so the government with no training, experience, or real concern other than the next election will come up with a new system of teaching/testing/funding designed to blackmail intelligent educators into falling in step. The current stab at standardization is called Common Core.”

experience, or real concern other than the next election will come up with a new system of teaching/testing/funding designed to blackmail intelligent educators into falling in step. The current stab at standardization is called Common Core. The actual guidelines consume thousands of pages of explanation and hundreds of hours taken away from classroom instruction, so I’ll give you the short version: “Dear Teacher, we don’t trust you.”

The second paragraph might read, “This is the way we build dams and roads, the way we design power grids, and regulate the amount of rat guano that can be allowed in hamburger meat, so we know it will work on fifthgraders. Uniformity will be your god. OK, when we make regulations on campaign funding and legislative redistricting we immediately start finding ways to cheat and get around them, but hold you to higher standards than the average congressperson and we expect you to follow Common Core to its . . . well. . . core.”

The explanation would conclude with something like,

“We admit that it does little good, it cripples the creativity of both students and teachers, it takes time away from actual learning as we train the teachers, we’ll probably throw it all away when the next administration comes in, and it costs a great deal of money to put into place, but dog-gone it, it’s convenient for us to evaluate and that’s all we really care about.”

Really good teachers have always found a way to circumvent the latest foolish plans flowing out of the Washington septic tank called the Department of Education, but it’s getting harder and if you were a young person considering a job in education, well you might just stop chuckling.

You ever in Coonridge, stop by. We may not answer the door but you’ll enjoy the trip.

PICKINGS FROM PIKE’S PAST 50 YEARS AGO: TOM RAY COMES TO PITTSFIELD HIGH SCHOOL 125 Years Ago Aug. 22, 1889 There will be a grand electric light jubilee on the Pittsfield square tonight. There will be music by the Barry band and parade by the hook and ladder companies in full uniform.

Last Friday night a brutal brakeman on the C & A R.R. savagely beat Sheriff Jake Windmiller and deputy Buck Mayes after they boarded a freight train in Strout on official business. The train was moving at 40 miles per hour, and Miller and Mayes had to hold on with one hand to keep from being hurled off the train. The brakeman would not allow the sheriff to show official papers, and Windmiller and Mayes were put off the train about a mile east of Pleasant Hill. The Sheriff telegraphed ahead and had the brakeman arrested in Brookfield, Mo. Dear Editor of the Democrat: While plowing on the bottom near Pleasant Hill I saw three dogs in a terrible fight with something a distance away. I went to the place and found that they were fighting with a monster snake. It took the dogs 30 minutes to kill the creature, which I measured to be 13 feet and 7 inches long.

Peaches are now ripening in the Perry vicinity and peach thieves are beginning their work. Look out boys, some of you are already known.

LOOK FOR THE BEST IN OTHERS W

ant a simple formula for a miserable life? Just focus on the faults of others.

Zeroing in on what’s wrong with everybody may sound like great sport but it just wounds and destroys.

A century ago, the eloquent minister, DeWitt Talmadge, wrote: “There is in every community and every church, watch dogs, who feel called upon to keep their eyes on others and growl. They are always the first to hear of anything wrong. Vultures are always the first to smell carrion.

“These critics are self-appointed detectives…always looking for something mean instead of something grand. They look at their neighbor’s imperfections through a telescope upside down.”

The Bible describes these hypocritical people as cannibals: “If ye bite and devour one another, take heed that ye be not consumed one of another” (Galatians 5:15).

This is a fitting description of them because these critics are always eating away at the character and reputation of others; always putting people down and in doing so they weaken their homes, their churches; even their nation. They have chosen a path of self destruction.

There’s a better way to live.

Try looking for the best in others. When we do so, we find them easier to love. And in loving the ones around us we become more like our Lord.

Paul’s letter to his friends in Phillipi contains this startling statement: “I thank my God upon every remembrance of you” (Phi-

lippians 1:3).

How could the great apostle write this? Was the church to which he wrote perfect? Of course not! Churches are made up of imperfect people.

Someone told the still highly respected English minister, C.H. Spurgeon that he was looking for a perfect church.

“If you find one, don’t join it or you’ll spoil it,” replied Spurgeon.

The first century church was an excellent example of people conquering critical attitudes. There were 120 people gathered in an upper room following the resurrection of Christ and most of their leaders were proven failures.

Peter had denied his Lord.

Thomas had doubted the resurrection. Philip had a reputation for expecting the least. James and John had tried to outrank the others and the women had gone to the tomb of Jesus with spices to do the work of undertakers, not expecting Him to be alive. In other words, the seeds of failure were among them.

Still, this unlikely group put away their differences, refused to focus on their faults and became world changers.

We’re still reaping the benefits of their wise decision.

Like them, let’s look for the best in others.

Illinois youth firearm deer hunt is October 11-13

The 2014 Illinois Youth Firearm Deer Hunt is Oct. 11-13 for those hunters with a valid Youth Deer Permit who have not reached their 16th birthday by the first day of the hunt. Youth Deer Permits are available over-the-counter at license vendors throughout the state. Hunters may purchase only one permit (either-sex) for one of the open counties.

Last year, Governor Pat Quinn signed into law legislation extending the Illinois Youth Firearm Deer Hunt from a two-day to a threeday season, providing an additional hunting day on the Columbus Day holiday.

All youth hunters must have a current, valid Youth Deer Permit and have a regular hunting license, Youth Hunting License or Apprentice Hunting License, unless exempt. If using a regular hunting license, participants must have completed an IDNR-approved Hunter Education course. Each hunter participating in the Youth Deer Hunt while using an Apprentice Hunting or Youth Hunting License must be accompanied by a non-hunting, validlylicensed (Illinois hunting license) parent, guardian or grandparent who is 21 years of age or older. All other hunters participating in the Youth Deer Hunt must each be accompanied by a non-hunting supervisor (parent, guardian or responsible adult) who has a valid Illinois hunting license or who has in his or her possession a valid Firearm Owners Identification (FOID) card. The non-hunting supervisor must wear the orange garments required of gun deer hunters (blaze orange cap and upper garment with a minimum of 400 square inches of solid blaze orange material), and must remain with the hunting youth. Each supervisor may only accompany a single youth at any given time during the hunt.

Shooting hours for firearm deer

hunting in Illinois are one half-hour before sunrise to one half-hour after sunset.

All Illinois counties except Cook, DuPage and Lake Counties, and that portion of Kane County east of State Route 47 are open for the youth deer season.

Hunting hours are one-half hour before sunrise on to one-half hour after sunset on Oct. 11-13. The bag limit is one deer per legally authorized permit. All either-sex permits are subject to the following restrictions: no hunter, regardless of the quantity or type of permits in his/ her possession, may harvest more than two (2) antlered deer during a year, including the youth, archery, muzzleloader and firearm seasons.

Successful hunters must register their harvest by 10 p.m. on the same calendar day the deer is taken by calling the toll-free telephone checkin system at 1-866-ILCHECK or by accessing the online check-in system at www.dnr.illinois.gov/vcheck.

They will be provided with a confirmation number to verify that they checked in their harvest. This number must be written by the hunter on the temporary harvest tag (leg tag).

Youth hunters are reminded that archery deer season will be underway and archery hunters will be afield during the Oct. 11-13 youth hunt. Archery deer hunters and all other hunters are reminded that they must comply with requirements to wear blaze orange the weekend of the youth deer hunt (except in counties closed to the youth deer season).

The IDNR-managed sites in the counties listed below are open to youth hunting during the Youth Deer Hunt. Note that some of the IDNR sites allow participation in the Youth Deer Hunt only by site-specific permit.

Bicycle/car accident in Pleasant hill

By Beth zumwalt Pike Press A little boy’s enthusiasm to start school last Wednesday, Aug.20 at 7:30 a.m. caused an accident at the corner of South Main and East Clinton in Pleasant Hill.

According to police reports, Braden Flachs, age 8, was riding his bike eastward on Clinton Street, when he struck the driver’s side front quarter panel of a truck driven norhtbound on Main by Jeffrey D. Penn, 21, Nebo.

Flachs was taken by Pike County Ambulance to Illini ER and was later transferred to another facility with what as believed to be non-life threatening injuries.

Pleasant Hill Police Chief Zach Orr stressed toxically testing is mandatory in accidents where there is personal injury.

Orr, said Penn willingly consulted for toxically testing but there was reason to believe there was any criminality in the accident, which remains under investigation.

Pikeland Superintendent Paula Hawley may have thought by picking her daughter, her ALS challenge would go a bit warmer, but Lauren Hawley spared nothing as she poured ice water on her mother Friday night.

Anticipation was worse than the event for Lisa Jockisch, principal at PCS. Nick and Nolan Daniel challenged their principal to take the challenge and delivered the icy blow themselves.

It was only appropriate that two members of the Saukettes deliver their advisor’s ice bucket challenge. Mary Lagemann said the ice bath wasn’t bad but as the evening progressed her wet clothing became uncomfortable. Senior Saukettes Briana Motley and Morgan Plattner did the dumping.

Pike County Health Department hosts Alzheimer’s workshop The Alzheimer’s Association held a workshop at the Pike County Health Department Friday, Aug. 22.

The workshop covered the ten signs that indicate that someone may have or be developing alzheimer’s.

“Early detection is key,” Speaker Lisa Biernhe, said.

The ten warning signs of alzheimer’s include; 1. Memory changes that disrupt daily life. This can involve forgetting something that was recently learned or asking for the same information over and over.

2. Challenges in planning or

solving problems. This includes problems developing or following a plan, working with numbers or following a familiar recipe. It can also include concentration problems and difficulty keeping track of bills.

3. Difficulty completing familiar tasks such as daily activities and driving to once-familiar places.

4. Confusion with time or place.

Losing track of dates, seasons and passage of time and forgetting where one is or how one got there are aspects of this warning sign.

5. Trouble understanding visual images and spatial relationships.

Jeanette Wallace/Pike Press

Lisa Biernhe from the Alzheimer’s Association spoke about the ten early detection signs of alzheimer’s Friday, Aug. 22 at the Pike County Health Department.

This can include difficulty reading or trouble judging distance.

6. New problems with words in speaking or writing such as problems joining a conversation and trouble with vocabulary.

7. Misplacing things and losing the ability to retrace steps. Putting things in unusual places or accusing others of stealing are examples of this.

8. Decreased or poor judgment.

Poor judgment with money such as giving large amounts to telemarketers or spending more impulsively might be a sign of this.

9. Withdrawal from work or social activities such as losing

track of a favorite sports team or forgetting how to engage in a favorite hobby.

10. Changes in mood and personality. Increasingly displaying confusion, suspicion, fear, anxiety or agitation may be examples of this.

Biernhe explained that some people might have some of problems remembering things, but it may not be alzheimer’s.

“Just because there’s a memory issue doesn’t meant that it’s alzheimer’s,” Biernhe said.

Two Rivers RC&D recently received notification from USDA Secretary Tom Vilsack that it had been selected to receive one of 10 grants awarded nationally from the Rural Microentrepreneur Assistance (RMAP) program to assist small businesses.

"Through the Rural Microentrepreneur Assistance Program, USDA partners with local organizations who in turn invest in local, small businesses that otherwise are unable to obtain the credit they need to grow and thrive," Vilsack said. "Facilitating long-term economic development in this way empowers rural residents to invest locally, cultivating stronger communities. This program exemplifies how USDA can partner with rural communities to maximize the positive impact of even a small investment of federal dollars."

As the fiscal sponsor of the Pike County Economic Development Corporation, Two Rivers RC&D partnered with PCEDC in submitting the grant and the two agencies will collaborate to provide additional technical

assistance to small businesses, particularly those businesses with 10 or fewer employees. The funding requested will allow Two Rivers RC&D and PCEDC to devote more program time and program funding to support the development and ongoing success of rural microentrepreneurs and microenterprises.

Program funding will include educational workshop/seminars, guidance and instruction to rural microentrepreneurs to prepare them for selfemployment and improve the condition of their existing rural microenterprise. This type of assistance can also increase their capacity in a specific technical aspect of their business; and can help them achieve a degree of business preparedness that will allow them to obtain business loans independently.

For more information about the assistance available, please contact Brenda Middendorf, Two Rivers RC&D, 217-285-4114, or Gina Sheurman, Pike County Economic Development Corporation, 217-4405101.

rooftop unit in the middle of this week,” Hull said. “This will involve a crane being used, which will shut down a few parking spots in front of our facility. We will keep the community updated on the exact day and time of this project via WBBA radio and via our website.”

This is the 8th week of construction as part of Phase 1 of the 2-phase project. Phase 1 is projected to take approximately five months to complete, which will result in a new space for the Consulting Physicians’ Clinic and Outpatient Services/Oncology in the current shelled space. It also includes the new addition to the West end of the facility which will be the entry point for the new Rural Health Clinic.

If any member of the community has questions or concerns about the construction project, they are asked to call Illini at 217-285-2113 extension 3810.

COUNTY DANCE TALENT

Submtted photo

Avery Wyatt, left and Macy Waters were recently named Talent on Parade National Dance Competition’s overall duet/trio mini-champions.

The performed a jazz dance to “W.O.M.A.N.” They were also given a special judges “Sassy Sisters” award and were the only dancers under six to make the duet/trio parade of champions. They are students at Ashley’s Dance Studio in Barry.

Assistant Pike County State’s Attorney Leecia Carnes completed continuing legal education training last week in Springfield.

Carnes attended a two-day seminar for prosecutors conducted by the Illinois Appellate Prosecutors Office.

The training, titled “ Courtroom Visuals,” was focused on educating attorneys in using multi-media presentations to introduce evidence to the juries.

Carnes’ attendance was free to the county and part of a broader effort by interim Pike County State’s Attorney Matt Goetten to ensure his staff maintains the highest levels of competence.

“Leecia has many years of experience in the criminal justice system in Missouri and Illinois,” Goetten said. “She has demonstrated her confidence and competence to me in the courtroom. This was an outstanding opportunity for her to take her skills to the next level.”

Upcoming training for the Pike County State’s Attorney’s Office includes “Prosecuting the Drugged Driver,” another appellate prosecutors training, a symposium for drug court participants and collaborations between area victim advocate programs sharing best practices.

IDNR recovering alligator snapping turtles The Illinois Department of Natural Resources (IDNR) took the first steps in recovering the state-endangered alligator snapping turtle to its natural range in southern Illinois recently by releasing 97 turtles of various ages over three days.

The alligator snapping turtle – the largest freshwater turtle in North America – has been rarely seen in Illinois for decades due to channelization, levying, and draining of floodplain wetlands.

The release of turtles in muddy creeks in southern Illinois was part of a multi-state effort involving Illinois, Oklahoma, and Louisiana to recover or augment declining populations of the alligator snapping turtle.

Funding for the recovery project is from a multi-state competitive State Wildlife Grant awarded to the three states by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. The grant will cover the costs of long term monitoring and tracking of the released turtles, which have been equipped with radio transmitters. The turtles released in Illinois were produced by the Tishomingo National Fish Hatchery in Oklahoma, and they were paid for by donations to the Illinois Wildlife Preservation Fund, as well as a grant awarded by State Farm Insurance Companies to Pontiac Township High School science teacher Paul Ritter as part of the school’s Operation Endangered Species classroom initiative.

As part of the release of alligator snapping turtles in Union County, Illinois Natural History Survey (INHS) staff recorded data about each turtle and affixed transmitters and iButton dataloggers to the turtles. The INHS staff was assisted with the turtle releases by staff from the IDNR Division of Natural Heritage, the Peoria Zoo, and Southern Illinois University Carbondale zoology students, along with students and staff from Pontiac Township High School and Whitney M. Young Magnet High School in Chicago.

“Recovering endangered species in Illinois, like the alligator snapping turtle, are important in that they increase biodiversity to areas where the species historically occurred, and they increase the likelihood that the species will continue to thrive in the Mississippi River basin,” said Scott Ballard, IDNR herpetologist and project leader. “This effort could not have occurred without all the partners assisting in this effort.”

A large number of organizations are partnering with the IDNR to provide support for the multi-state recovery project: • The INHS has been contracted to conduct the telemetry studies monitoring the released turtles in Illinois, and the INHS is providing all the transmitters and iButton dataloggers for the three cooperating states.

• The Peoria Zoo has been holding older alligator snapping turtles for the past several years for supplemental releases by the IDNR. • The St. Louis Zoo has been breeding alligator snapping turtles from their captive colony to provide hatchlings that will be raised by various schools in Illinois as part of the Pontiac High School Operation Endangered Species effort until those turtles are large enough to release.

• Other partners include the University of Illinois School of Veterinary Medicine, Missouri State University, Tulsa Zoo, Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation, University of Louisiana at Monroe, and the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries.

• The Missouri Department of Conservation and the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission facilitated permits to transport the turtles from the Tishomingo hatchery through their respective states.

Reservation information now available online for Illinois controlled pheasant hunting program Controlled pheasant hunting opportunities will be available at 20 Illinois Department of Natural Resources (IDNR) sites this fall, and the 2014-15 season dates and permit reservation information are now available online.

Sixteen of the sites are operated by the IDNR, while four other sites are operated in a public/private partnership arrangement between the IDNR and concessionaire T. Miller, Inc. “Now is the time to begin planning for participation in our controlled pheasant hunting program this fall,” said IDNR Director Marc Miller. “Thousands of hunters enjoy the opportunity to experience pheasant hunting through our controlled pheasant program each year. It also provides youth hunters with an ideal opportunity to have a successful hunting experience.”

The online permit reservation system for 15 IDNR-operated sites opens on Aug. 4, and permit information, season dates, and other information are now available.

Detailed information and permit reservations are available now for the four sites managed by T. Miller, Inc. Hunters need to review the application instructions and season information accessible online prior to submitting an application.

On IDNR-operated sites, the daily permit fee for the controlled pheasant program is $30 for resident hunters and $35 for nonresident hunters. The daily permit fee applies to each hunter. Hunters will be required to pay for reserved permits in advance over a secure Internet system using an American Express, Discover, MasterCard, or Visa credit card. The credit card account will be billed when hunters submit an application. A transaction fee of $2.50 will be assessed for each application, except for applications submitted for the Illinois Youth Pheasant Hunt.

The public/private partnership controlled pheasant hunting areas are Chain O’Lakes State Park in Lake County, Silver Springs State Park in Kendall County, Ramsey Lake State Park in Fayette County, and Horseshoe Lake State Park in Madison County. Information about controlled pheasant hunting at these sites is available on the concessionaire’s website at www. tmillerinc.com or via a link on the IDNR website at www.dnr.illinois. gov.

Of the 16 sites operated by the IDNR, six provide only the Illinois Youth Pheasant Hunt opportunity for young hunters between the ages of 10-15. Those six sites are the

Clinton Lake State Recreation Area in DeWitt County, Edward Madigan State Fish and Wildlife Area in Logan County, Mackinaw River State Fish and Wildlife Area in Tazewell County, Pere Marquette State Park in Jersey County, Sangchris Lake State Park in Christian and Sangamon Counties, and the World Shooting and Recreational Complex in Randolph County.

Nine sites provide lengthy hunting seasons for hunters, as well as special hunting days for young hunters.

Those nine sites are Johnson Sauk Trail State Park in Henry County, the Des Plaines State Fish and Wildlife Area in Will County, Kankakee River State Park in Kankakee County, the Iroquois County State Wildlife Area, Moraine View State Recreation Area in McLean County, Sand Ridge State Forest in Mason County, Jim Edgar Panther Creek State Fish and Wildlife Area in Cass County, Eldon Hazlet State Recreation Area in Clinton County, and Wayne Fitzgerrell State Recreation Area in Jefferson and Franklin Counties.

The Green River State Wildlife Area in Lee County provides 15 days of controlled pheasant hunting during a season that extends from early November until just before Christmas.

At Des Plaines, Moraine View and Eldon Hazlet, hunting opportunities are available for hunters with disabilities where special vehicles are provided to assist with the hunt.

Online permit reservations for the first lottery period on IDNRoperated sites will be accepted from 8:30 a.m. on Aug. 4 through 1:00 p.m. on Aug. 11. Two additional one-week lottery periods are scheduled thereafter. Hunters need to review the application instructions and season information on the controlled pheasant hunting website prior to submitting an application.

Then click on “Controlled Pheasant Areas” under the “Quick Links” heading.

IDNR-operated controlled pheasant hunting sites will continue to have a portion of their hunter quota allocated to standby hunters. Standby hunters acquire permits and pay permit fees at the site hunter check station on the day of the hunt.

Standby permits are also available for the Illinois Youth Pheasant Hunt

if the site hunter quota is not filled by young hunters with reserved permits prior to the hunt date.

By BETH ZUMWALT Pike Press The bus drivers in Pikeland Unit #10 will get a 1. 5 percent raise this year.

The board, which normally meets the third Wednesday, bumped its meeting one day to Thursday as Wednesday was the first day of school.

“This contract is consistent with what other union personnel got,” Paula Hawley, superintendent of the district, said. “It is a one-year contract.”

The only other group of employees represented by a union, according to Hawley, is the teachers and they are in the second year of a three-year contract.

The board also accepted the resignations of Spencer and Kayla Boren as PHS drama club sponsors; Nina Crockett as a bus driver, effective Aug. 16; Becky Daniel, PHS special education, effective Aug. 6; and Brock Thornton as head cook

Liberty Village Wine tour of Pittsfield receives taking reservations national accreditation

Submitted photo

MEETING

THE CANDIDATE

Pike County GOP chairman Robert Browning, right, recently met with GOP gubernatorial candidate Bruce Rauner and invited him to visit Pike County. Rauner will be coming to Pittsfield Saturday, Aug. 30 for the Pittsfield Fall Festival activities. Rauner will be in the Fall Festival Parade and he can be met following the parade around the courthouse square.

Liberty Village of Pittsfield has received accreditation as a skilled nursing facility actively performing Quality Assurance and Performance Improvement (QAPI) activities. The accreditation, presented by independent accreditor, Providigm, LLC, demonstrates that the facility is continually assessing residents’ quality of life with regard to concerns such as pain, dignity, respect for resident choice and quality of care problems such as whether there are enough staff to meet resident needs, weight loss, infections, rehabilitation following acute injury or illness, and prevention of readmissions to hospital.

“This accreditation signifies that Liberty Village is committed to continuously improving the care that they provide based on feedback from residents and families,” Dr. Andrew Kramer, Providigm CEO, and international expert on measuring quality of elder care, said. “We

Your No. 1 Source for local Sports.

congratulate Liberty Village on their commitment to improve the quality of life and care given to our elders.”

Unlike other rating systems, the Providigm QAPI Accreditation is based on actions that nursing centers take to identify and correct quality problems. The methodology of QAPI is widely used in various health care settings, and is becoming a major focus of nursing home regulation.

“We are extremely proud of the work our care team has accomplished to achieve this accreditation,” Rubi Hoots, administrator, said. “We take quality seriously.

We strive to give our residents the quality of life and level of dignity they deserve.”

For more information about the service provided at Liberty Village of Pittsfield please feel free to call 285-5200 or stop by for a tour at 610 Lowry Street Pittsfield.

The fall Two Rivers Wine Tour will include four stops: Spirit Knob in Ursa, Village Vineyard in Camp Point, Ridge View Winery in Mt. Sterling and Hopewell Winery in Summer Hill.

Lunch is included at Spirit Knob. More food will be available for sale at the last stop of the tour at Hopewell Winery along with live music.

A visit to several of the wineries in the Two Rivers area is a great opportunity for groups of friends to get together and spend a fun and affordable day tasting and purchasing the wide varieties of quality wines produced in our area.

Each winery offers a diverse

range of homegrown flavors to suit all palates and has new wines to share.

Participants are invited to come along for a scenic ride, great wine, food and music and friends.

Charter bus pickup and drop off points are available in Summer Hill and Quincy. The tour includes the guided charter bus tour, free entry and wine tasting at all four wineries, lunch at Spirit Knob, special discounts on wine, live music and souvenir wine glass all for $55.

Reservations need to be made quickly to insure seating. For more information or to make a reservation please call 217-285-2464.

Pittsfield native Goewey completes full triathlon in Louisville By dan Brannan Pike Press

Pittsfield native Brad Goewey is a true “Iron Man,” completing an event with the 2.4-mile swim, 112-mile bike ride and 26.2-mile run in Louisville, Ky., on Saturday.

Goewey competed in the Iron Man Classic Triathlon in the city and finished with a time of 15 hours, 1 minute and 6 seconds. His splits were 1 hour 10 minutes for the swim, 6 hours and 59 minutes for the bike and 6 hours, 24 minutes for the run. To finish the race, competitors had to complete the three-tiered course in 17 hours.

“This is my third summer of doing triathlons,” Goewey said. “I did it because I was just looking for a reason to get back in shape and did some local ones and just wanted to push my limits and see how far I could go,” he said. “I came up with this Louisville one and marked it on my calendar, started a plan and trained long hours to get ready. It was worth it in the end.”

At about the 4-mile mark in the 26.2-mile marathon, he started getting cramps in his quads and hamstrings and didn’t know if he would be able to complete the race.

A female runner saw him and was also struggling. She asked if she could run with him and did so for the next 5 or 6 miles, which helped him, he said. He said he received Submitted photo constant support from others comBrad Goewey displays his medal after completing a full triathlon in peting in the triathlon.

Editor seeks inspirational stories, tips about athletic achievements This fall I am going to coordinate sports for Campbell Publications.

In my column each week, often I would like to spotlight the achievements of the region’s athletes, from running a top time in a race, scoring several touchdowns or getting 15 tackles in a football game or an inspirational story someone has heard of or witnessed.

I spent the last nine or 10 days getting to know many of the area’s coaches and must say I am much impressed with their commitment to young people.

A true area ‘Iron Man’ I also heard of a Pittsfield man from the region – Brad Goewey – who completed an iron man competition that consisted of a 2.4-mile bike, 112-mile swim and a 26.2mile run in Louisville, Ky., so I shared his story.

Tell me about the deer stories or the big catch Once deer-hunting season comes, I hope people will tell me about their stories about the big buck or catching the big fish with photos and how they did it. Deer season is just down the road, so I hope to hear these stories.

Working on the chain gang Someone told me about two chain gangs in the region that have

functioned in that capacity for years; another told me about having a successful booster program that made their athletics be able to function. I have three suggestions for chain gang stories in three different communities. If you have a program volunteer or someone who deserves attention, let me know.

Delivering miniature pig to Miley Cyrus I even saw on Facebook that a former Calhoun football star – Jonah White – delivered a miniature pig to Miley Cyrus after a concert in St. Louis. White, of Hardin, is now the famed owner of the company that manufactures the worldwide Billy Bob Teeth products.

More than stats keepers, but keepers of traditions I heard of two men who keep statistics for their football teams. One has severe problems with his legs and needs surgery, but he put it off for the fall to keep those statistics.

“I have to give back to the football program,” he told me. “Without being on that team, I wouldn’t have anything I have in life. I owe everything to playing football.”

Remember the cheerleaders and band When you attend any football or basketball game, there are always

cheerleaders, motivating fans and cheering on their teams.

Also what would games be without these marching bands at halftime?

Many of these cheerleading groups compete in big competitions.

Let me know those stories.

Pittsfield quarterback Quinn Leahy hands the ball off during scrimmage action recently at the high school. Pittsfield opens its season against Saturday afternoon at Varna.

By dan Brannan Pike Press Pittsfield is traveling to Varma for a rare 1 p.m. Saturday grid contest and the Saukees appear to be much improved this year in pre-season workouts.

Curt Simmonson, who returns as coach, expects Midland Varna to be a top-notch opponent. Pittsfield was 3-6 last year.

Simmonson left Pittsfield 21 years ago after starting the wrestling program and also coached the football team several years ago. His teams had considerable success while he was coaching with seven trips to the playoffs and a team that won a semifinal playoff

game.

He sees both Pittsfield and Midland Varna being evenly matched going in to the contest.

“They graduated some people and they also have a new coach,” Simmonson said. “The question is what type of offense will they run and we think we have an idea. Unless they have 21-year-old game film, they won’t know what we are going to run, so we are both at the same disadvantage there. Midland Varna is a larger school.”

Simmonson expects his team to play hard during the Saturday day game, even with the temperatures running high in recent days.

“I think our chances are very good

on Saturday,” he said.

Lakin Labby and Caleb Wilson are two key team leaders before Saturday’s action. Labby is a tailback and Wilson an offensive lineman. Quarterback Quinn Leahy is a good thrower and an intelligent kid, Simmonson said.

Matt Robinson, and Korbyn Cox, wide receivers, should see considerable action as should Clayton Fernandez.

Coltyn Snyder is a big force at his tackle and nose guard position at 6-foot-7, 300 pounds. After the game Saturday, Pittsfield returns home for a Friday, Sept. 5, contest against North Mac High.

Pleasant Hill/Western brings top players back The Pleasant Hill/Western football team appears to be set for a solid beginning, opening at 7p.m.

Friday at home against Triopia.

The Wolves were 4-5 last year, but coach Mike Giles said he thought his team should have won two of those games and that would made a difference in going to the playoffs.

“Right now our line had a lot of turnover and we have a lot of new guys getting playing time, but our skilled players are really good,” he said.

Returning are quarterback Seth Moyers and running backs Corby Edwards and Kyle Mowen.

Edwards rushed for 600 yards as a freshman and Moyers was outstanding in pre-season. Russell Miller at wide receiver should also be a key player.

Klayton Miller at 6-foot-6, 275 pounds, is a mammoth player in the line. Junior Griffin Hall and Nathan Motley will also lead the Pleasant Hill/Western line.

Logan Workman, a three-year starter, also returns and he is

6-foot-3, 225 pounds.

Defensively, Giles said he is still trying to work out plans there.

Giles said he has a great coaching staff.

“The kids are excited,” he said.

“They have new helmets this year and several things were done to the field and press box. “Hopefully we will come out with a bang at the start.”

Western golfers off to good start in practice

By Brent feeney Pike Press Four seniors, a junior and six freshmen make up this year’s Western (Berry) golf side, which is being coached by Claire Gursh.

“We’ve been looking pretty good in practice so far,” Gursh said.

“We’ve had lots of practice time and I think we can compete well.

Having four seniors will help. Our main goal this year is to get out of (the IHSA Class 1A Regional); we had one of our players miss qualifying by just two strokes last year.”

The seniors are Levi Howell, Weston Billings, Noah Lynch and Evan Ehrhardt. The lone junior is Donovan Schwanke, while the top freshman on the team is Nicholas Howell.

“We’re driving the ball well, but we’ve struggled with our short game,” Gursh said.

The Wildcats were slated to open the season with a match against Liberty and Payson at their home course, Berry’s Bow Lake Golf Course, a par-35 layout.

The Wildcats’ next match will be against West Central in Winchester Sept. 3.

Western volleyball girls drop two-game decision

By Brent feeney Pike Press Western High’s girls’ volleyball team started the 2014 Monday, dropping a two-game decision to Illini West in Carthage.

Despite the loss, Wildcat coach Anna Hechler is optimistic for a good season for her charges.

“I was impressed with how we played,” Hechler said. “We came out strong and played well. We had some first-game jitters, which you

expect, but overall I was pleased.”

The Wildcats, who finished 15-18 overall last year, have been looking good in preseason workouts, Hechler said. “We looked much more comfortable than last year,” Hechler said. “We’re working hard and doing good things.

We do expect to have a much better start and hope to have a winning record this year.”

Four seniors lead a mostly junior-laden side; the seniors are Kayla Robbins, Alexis Christison,

Hailey Dunker and Maggie Borrowman.

“Kayla can do it all for us, but our seniors are all strong players,” Hechler said. “Between our seniors and juniors, we’ve got a very good mix.”

The Wildcats are scheduled to travel to Jacksonville for a match with Illinois School for the Deaf Thursday, then enter the Lady Suns Classic in Augusta Sept. 2-6.

The home opener takes place at 6 p.m. Sept. 9 against Warsaw.

Collard is a self-taught musician

By BetH zuMwalt Pike Press Raymond Collard, who everyone knows as Cutter, is a harmonica player.

“I tried to teach myself,” Collard said. “Then when I got a computer, I learned a lot on it.

There were videos and instructions from some of the world’s best.”

Collard estimates he has been playing 25-30 years and thinks the harmonica presents a unique set of challenges.

“Professionals will tell you it is the easiest instrument to learn and the most difficult,” he said.

“They tell you to play a song until you have it perfect before you perform it for an audience.”

Collard says he buys his harmonicas at a shop in Hannibal.

“It’s called Mr. Hauge’s,” he said. “He is an old-timer and every time I go there, I wonder if he is still going to be there. He says it costs him $35 a month to keep his shop open, but he enjoys it. “ In 1920, a harmonica sold for a dime. Today, like most things, the sky is the limit, but Collard says a good instrument can be purchased for $50.

“It depends on the materials, the reeds, how well balanced it is, its tune.,” Collard said. The harmonica or a version of the instrument was first known in 1826.

“It’s been around a lot of years.”

Originally, the body or the comb of the harmonica was made of wood. Today a lot are made from injection-molded plastic.

Some high-end models are made from metal alloys, lucite or silver, each giving a distinctive sound.

Reeds are cut from precisiontapered strips of brass alloy, a mixture of copper and zinc. Reed and cover plates are also made of brass. Screws and/or rivets hold the instrument together. The individual parts are machine-made but the assembly is done by hand.

Today, five major types of harmonicas are produced: diatonic, diatonic tremolo-tuned, diatonic octave-tuned, chromatic, and orchestral accompaniment.

The single-reed diatonic harmonic is the most popular and can be heard in rock, country, blues and folk music. It features 10 holes with 20 reeds, 10 for blow notes and 10 for draw notes.

The tremolo has double holes, each of which contains a reed cut to the same key. Each hole allows both blow and draw notes. In the octave-tuned diatonic, the reeds in the double holes are an octave apart. Chromatic harmonicas play

Beth Zumwalt/Pike Press

Raymond Collard frequently sits in the yard of the Pleasant Hill Methodist Church and watches life go buy. His harmonica keeps him busy and he plays with a group of people weekly at the Pleasant Hill Baptist Church. He says he isn’t confident enough to volunteer to play but will play if asked.

a 12-note octave, including all sharps and flats.

The orchestral model can feature all blow notes or a combination of blow and draw notes.

Some are designed to play chords.

Collard says his harmonica is a diatonic which means it plays no sharps or flats.

“If you want full chromatic scale, you have to have a special technique called bending,” Collard said, who said he has mastered the sounds.

Collard said the to make the blusie, lonely-sounding train whistle often associated with the harmonica, bending is required.

Once a week, Collard and group of other area musicians – Eric Kirgan, Merle Howland and Larry and Susan Collins – meet at the Pleasant Hill First Baptist Church and play music. Collard is the only harmonica player.

“It is mostly gospel music,’ he said. “But on the harmonica, you can play anything. I encourage people to get on the Internet and type in ‘Buddy Green at Carnegie Hall.’ He plays the ‘William Tell Overture’ on the harmonica and it is great. You can play any type of music on the harmonica.”

Bob Dylan, a famous rock and roller of the ‘60s and ‘70s, introduced the bar that let him play the harmonica while using his hands to play the guitar.

Collard said he graduated from Pleasant Hill High School in 1957.

“I went my freshman and sophomore years to Pittsfield,” he said. “I went to grade school at Tollgate out by Detroit and Prairie Mound in the Pleasant Hill bottoms. I was born in the Springlake area.”

After graduation from PHHS, Collard attended WIU in Macomb and then took a job with Illinois Gas and Electric in the Quad Ciites.

‘I came back to Pleasant Hill after I retired in 1995,” he said. “ I have a farm near Rockport.

It used to be 160 acres but I sold about 80 of it. “ Collard said he was not in the band at Pleasant Hill High School.

“I was into athletics,” he said.

“I played guard on the football team and every once in a while, they would let me be fullback.”

Collard said his favorite memory is his senior year when the Wolves had not won a game all season. Calhoun had not lost a game all season and the two were slated to play each other for the last game of the year.

“We beat them 6-0,” Collard said. “They were ranked the highest and we were ranked the lowest. That was before the Oaken Bucket.”

Board talks litter, trades tree for service

By BetH zuMwalt Pike Press The Pleasant Hill village board met last week and discussed the matter of people littering around the village.

“We think it is mostly kids,” Wyvette Menke, village clerk, said. “At least that the ones that have been seen doing it.”

Menke said Tom Scranton, village trustee, brought the subject up during last week’s board meeting having observed it several times.

“He said he has seen kids walk right by the new trash cans we put out and 10-feet further on, throw something on the ground,” Menke said.

The board took no action on the matter, but will continue to watch and if the situation worsens may take action in the future.

The board also learned Gary Capps has removed the walnut tree from in front of the village’s medical building.

“The board had told Gary Capps he could have the log if he would remove the tree and clean up the area,” “He has completed the job and it looks nice.”

The subject of a phone at the campgrounds was also discussed.

According to Menke, the state health inspectors cited the village for not having a phone available 24/7 at the campground for emergencies.

“I don’t know what we can do,” Menke said. “They won’t put a pay phone down there, Every time

we did, it was vandalized and the phone company is just not putting out pay phones any more.”

Menke said no business is open 24/7 in Pleasant Hill and the nearest 24/7 place of operation is Louisiana, Mo. “They want us to put a map up with that information on it,” Menke said. “Nobody in an emergency is going to drive to Louisiana.”

The village board took no action, citing that most people have cell phones and tabled the matter until a solution could be found.

Zach Orr delivered the police report. There were 44 incidents handled by the PHPD in July and

another nine handled by the Pike County Sheriff’s Office.

Menke said it was her understanding most of the incidents were drug related in addition to security at the Pleasant Hill 4th of July and the Pike County Fair.

Orr reported one incident was an assist to the FBI. When questioned, Orr said an FBI agent from Peoria had asked for Orr’s help in locating a woman who might have information about a bank fraud case in the Peoria area.

Orr found the woman and set up the interview, but said as far as he knew the woman only had information and was not a suspect nor was she arrested.
