Alternative 4C/D presentation draws crowd By BETH ZUMWALT Pike Press Approximately 50 people attended a meeting last Thursday at the Nimrod Funk Building in Winchester. The public hearing was to show the preferred alternative for the new bridge and explain what that selection meant for the area. At least eight individuals from the Illinois Department of Transportation were on hand to answer questions about the project slated to begin in 2024. The route Alternative 4C/D is the furthermost south of the options presented. Not building or repairing the existing EULGJH ZDV DOVR DPRQJ WKH ¿QDO options, as well as constructing a new bridge to the north of where the existing bridge sits and a third option that split the difference in bridge locations between the current bridge and the northernmost option. Eleven options were originally considered then narrowed down to four. Route 4C/D was chosen because: it meets the purpose

and need, is the only known alternative with no impacts found to sensitive archeological areas, causes no displacement of businesses or residents, is better for river navigation and has less wetland acreage impacted than 4A or 4C. If chosen, 4C/D will take 48.6 acres of land in right of way and 14.9 acres in uneconomic remnant area. The estimated cost of the project is $80.5 million and the finished route will be 1.10 miles in length. The next step in the process is for IDOT to review all the comments made at the meeting or submitted later. Comments must be received by Sept. 24 to be considered. Once the commentary portion is over, IDOT will continue environmental coordination to obtain state and federal permits. Currently no environmental concerns are evident. A pre-construction archaeological survey, specifications and estimates, a design selection, land acquisition and utility relocations will need to be done before construction can begin.

Of the potential alternatives presented for the replacement bridge at Florence, alternative 4C/D got the nod. The proposed project will sit about 300 feet south of the existing bridge, meaning it will be in the immediate area of the proposed boat dock.

Pike County Board struggles with amendment By BETH ZUMWALT Pike Press

T

he Pike County Board budget meeting was to be held last night, Sept. 15, with discussion regarding issues with the ambulance budget anticipated to feature prominently. Prior to the meeting, however, confusion regarding the amendment caused a minor break down in communication. Jim Sheppard, chairman of the finance committee,

contacted Natalie Roseberry, county clerk, Friday morning. Sept. 11, about posting a notice to amend the ambulance budget. Roseberry posted the notice and also e-mailed all board members, including Derek Ross, chairman of the public safety committee, who immediately questioned the need for an amendment. “We think our budget is right where it is supposed to be,” Ross said of the public safety committee. “We have our money budgeted and earmarked where we want it.” Sheppard said the issue is a mistake from last year’s

budget. “Last year, with board approval, we appropriated transferring $110,120 from the ambulance fund to the general fund,” Sheppard said. “The money never was transferred, and since it was a transfer, it didn’t throw anything out of balance so we didn’t catch it until the Pike County Treasurer brought it up last week.” Sheppard said he then called Roseberry to post the meeting. A posting must be made 15 days in advance of the meeting, itself. Upon receipt of the e-mail, Ross replied e-mail say-

Making the playground safe for students By BETH ZUMWALT Pike Press When South School Principal Doug Smith posted a CALL for volunteers to help disinfect the outside playground equipment each evening, he was surprised at the response. The health department has recommended the equipment be cleaned each evening before the next day’s use. Mick LaflIn, minister at the United Methodist Church and his wife, Karen, have signed up to do one evening a week. “It takes about 20-30, minutes and my wife helps me,” Laflin said. “We have a cleaner/disinfectant solution we spray on the equipment. When we are finished, there is a red card that we turn over to green, so the principal will know we were here and completed the task.” Other volunteers include: Kate

Marable, Kay Iftner, Casey Beck and Kacie Lipcamon. Signed on to substitute are: Keesha Capps, Anita Kuntz, Brittney Emerick, Nancy Lomelino, Kay Iftner, Ashley Sutherland, Suzann Houchins, Chasity Moore and Karl Geisendorfer. Two classes of the same grade level use the playground equipment each day. Emily Rhodes and Jennifer Wessel’s kindergarten classes go first, followed by Brittney Frieden and Jodi Gengler’s kindergarten classes the following day. Two first grade classes follow with the other two first grade classes the next day. Second grade classes also go in twos on consecutive days. Pre-school plays on their equipment every other day. “On the days they are not on the equipment, the students go to recess on the playground where teachers lead them in playing a variety of socially-distanced games and activites,” Smith said.

Mick Laflin was at South School Sunday evening washing off the playground equipment, making it ready and safe for students at the pre-K though second grade facility to use. The health department recommended the equipment be disinfected each day to reduce the spread of COVID-19.

ing, “As the Public Safety Committee Chairman, I am unaware of a request to amend the Ambulance Budget nor have I been requested to put it on our agenda for review at a Public Safety Committee Meeting. The Ambulance Budget is fine as it stands. Please disregard the request and notice for an amendment.” The return e-mail left Roseberry confused. “I don’t know if I’m to leave it up or take it down,” Roseberry said. “I hope to get answers at the budget meeting Tuesday (Sept. 15) night.” Ross said he believes the

money is being taken out of his budget in order to purchase new squad cars for the sheriff’s department.” “We are looking at purchasing a new ambulance at the beginning of next year,” Ross said. “Those are over $200,000. The budget was in place and should not be borrowed from to hold up another department or the general fund. I don’t see a need for an amendment.” The board can vote to remove the posting and not consider the transfer, even though it was previously (See, AMENDMENT, A2)

COVID-19 cases climb among Pike County’s young-adults, PCHD faces online criticism By DAVID CAMPHOUSE Pike Press Monday, Sept.14 the Pike County Health Department (PCHD) released data on the newest novel coronavirus (COVID-19) cases in the county – revealing three new cases of the virus among Pike County residents in their twenties. PCHD also reported on Monday that the total number of lab confirmed COVID-19 cases in Pike County has reached 100. Of the 100 cases, one Pike County resident is hospitalized, and there has been one COVID-19 related death. The latest lab confirmed cases include: 3 females in their 20s, 1 male in his 20s. According to David Iftner, President of the Pike County Board of Health, PCHD has continued to enforce the state’s amended COVID-19 emergency rules mandating social distancing and face masks in businesses and public events. As a result, Iftner said, the Department has faced online criticism from community members, resulting in PCHD removing their Facebook page from that social media platform. “All the Health Department is doing is enforcing the state mandates that they are required to uphold,” Iftner said. “For the most part, most of the online comments have been negative and come from people who lack knowledge about the disease. I ascertained the site was taken down because staff didn’t have time to respond to all the negative comments and phone calls.” Iftner went on to say that Pike County residents appear to do less to curtail COVID-19 when compared to residents of some neighboring counties and states. “I see less compliance in Pike County,” Iftner said. “I see 40 to 60 percent of people wearing masks when shopping in Pike

County. In other communities it’s 90 to 95 percent.” The path toward businesses and community activities returning to normal, according to Iftner, relies on residents taking state-mandated social-distancing and mask-wearing guidelines seriously. “COVID-19 has done a lot of harm to businesses, especially restaurants,” Iftner said. “It’s sad that people are so selfish. Until we squash this virus, things won’t return to normal.” Iftner reiterated his support for PCHD staff and said that, despite the lack of a Facebook presence, PCHD staff continue to perform their jobs and share public health information with the media and the public. “The Health Department is trying to uphold state mandates and do what’s best for Pike County residents,” Iftner said. “They continue to disseminate information.” Pike County Board of Health President Iftner, who holds a doctorate in economic entomology from Ohio State University, went on to encourage residents to listen to advice from medical and scientific professionals, and he cautioned residents that the virus could get worse before it gets better. “Scientists are presenting real data about this disease,” Iftner said. “It will be interesting to see what happens when temperatures drop and people start spending more time indoors in confined spaces.” PCHD continues to recommend that everyone follow the CDC and IDPH guidelines. The Department says it appreciates all efforts to protect Pike County families, friends and the community. Proactive responses to the COVID-19 disease and prevention, according to PCHD, will help prevent a surge of disease that could potentially overwhelm the healthcare system.

Lawber receives 2020 Governor’s Volunteer Award By DAVID CAMPHOUSE Pike Press Pike County Retired and Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP) volunteer Lloyd Lawber of Griggsville has been selected to receive the Illinois Governor’s Volunteer Award for West Central Illinois Senior Corps Volunteer of the Year. The award will be presented on Wednesday, Sept. 16 during a virtual presentation. The event is sponsored by the Serve Illinois Commission on Volunteerism and Community Service, which recognizes the work of volunteers across the state. “Normally the ceremony would be held in person at the old capitol building in Springfield, but we will have a ceremony at 2 p.m. on Wednesday at the Southeast Education Center via Zoom,� John Wood Community College RSVP Director Barbara Casady said. Lawber, according to Casady, is being recognized for his significant volunteer service in Pike County and his involvement with the Pike County All Wars Museum. “Lloyd was nominated because of his

commitment to volunteering, his willingness to jump in when we’ve needed volunteers in Pike County and his leadership at the museum,� Casady said. Lawber has been a Pike County RSVP member since 2015 and has contributed more than 2,751 hours of service to Pike County. He was instrumental in starting the Pike County All Wars Museum in Pittsfield, which honors veterans from the Civil War, Spanish-American War, WWI, WWII, Korean, Vietnam and Gulf wars, and the Global War on Terror (Afghanistan and Iraq). Working with other volunteers, Lawber has spent hours researching, setting up displays and creating new ideas to honor veterans and enhance the museum. A Vietnam veteran, Lawber lives by the motto “the more you give, the more you receive.� In addition to his work with the museum, Lawber has volunteered with Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts, Special Olympics, Habitat for Humanity and the DanaThomas House/Frank Lloyd Wright State Historical Site in Springfield. He also has served on the Pike County Illinois Historical Society Board of Directors. Lawber, on Saturday, Sept. 12, encour-

aged all residents to get involved in volunteer projects and emphasized the transformative power of volunteers in communities. “We have politicians that say they want to make America great, but if everybody would just volunteer to help we could be great on our own,� Lawber said. “If everybody in Pittsfield volunteered on projects, even a couple hours a week, this town would be unrecognizable.� All Wars Museum Director Lawber also said that volunteering has been beneficial to his personal health and outlook. “RSVP keeps seniors busy,� Lawber said. “If you volunteer you’re supposed to live longer. It helped me make it this far.� Lawber emphasized the impact that the RSVP program has made in Pike County and in the lives of its volunteers. “It’s extremely important to the community,� Lawber said. “It keeps seniors active and gives them purpose.� Adams, Brown and Pike County RSVP is a program of John Wood Community College. For information on becoming a volunteer, call the RSVP office at (217) 641-4961 or visit jwcc.edu/community/ rsvp.

Barry revising rules Picture Pittsfield raises funds for King Park paths for itinerant vendors By DAVID CAMPHOUSE Pike Press Picture Pittsfield held a 50/50 rubber duck raffle at the King Park Pool Wednesday, Sept. 9, to help raise money for the group’s second phase of path paving in the park. Improving paths, according to Picture Pittsfield committee member Patrick Lamb, are an effort to make the park more user-friendly and safer for children and pedestrians. “Kids have to walk on the road to get to the pool, and that is a truck route,� Lamb said. “As it is now, you can’t walk with a stroller.� Lamb says that the intention of Picture Pittsfield is to create a walking park at King Park similar to the path at Lowry Park. “We want to create a similar atmosphere as Lowry Park,� Lamb said. “It will be somewhere that the elderly can feel comfortable doing laps around the park.�

According to Lamb, the rubber duck raffle and associated fundraising efforts raised $5,117 in only two

weeks thanks to contributions from businesses, individuals and “adoptions� of raffle contest rubber ducks.

David Camphouse/Pike Press

By DAVID CAMPHOUSE Pike Press In a teleconference city council meeting held Tuesday, Sept. 8, Barry city council members began the process of revising and clarifying regulations for itinerant vendors in the community. According to Barry City Manager Jeff Hogge, there has been increased interest in mobile food businesses since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. As a result, the city government has felt compelled to revisit the rules surrounding the businesses. “It seems to be COVID-induced,� Hogge said. “We now have one food wagon, and there is another one planned.� Currently, Hogge said, itinerant vendors are required to purchase a $100 permit every six months, but the city plans to only require an annual permit in the future. “We want to change to a yearly permit of $100 and align the timing with liquor permitting,� Hogge said. City council members also plan to repeal an ordinance that requires any auto shops in Barry to maintain fencing around their properties. “We feel it’s an unfair burden on the businesses,� Hogge said. “It was aimed at body shops, but we haven’t had any issues.� Hogge said that code enforcement efforts are ongoing in Barry in an effort to maintain aesthet-

ic and sanitary conditions within the community. “It’s always ongoing it seems,� Hogge said. “There are certain properties that need attention, but between the spring clean-up and the upcoming fall clean-up, we are making a difference.� Fall clean-up will allow residents to dispose of refuse and junk at the city’s sewer plant/burn pile from Sept. 21 through Sept. 27. Barry’s public works employees have been installing sun shades on the east and west sides of the community’s pool to provide relief from the sun for pool users. “It’s so people can sit out comfortably,� Hogge said. “All the supports are up on the east side, and the holes are dug on the west.� Council members also seated two new Barry library board members – Matt Etzler and Brenda Moyer – to four year terms. Hogge also reported that Barry’s American Fresh Water Fish processing plant has been up and running through the summer and employs about 10 employees. “They are going strong – running five and six days a week,� Hogge said. In addition, Hogge reported that developers continue to work towards development of the proposed Bow lake subdivision. “It’s plodding along,� Hogge said. “They are conducting civil surveys for sewer and water lines; I see plotting stakes pop up. They are waiting for a lot of necessary state permits.�

PICKINGS FROM PIKE’S PAST 100 YEARS AGO: PITTSFIELD LIONS CLUB INSTALLED

150 Years Ago Sept. 22, 1870 The German Methodists of Pittsfield have erected a parsonage on their lot, which is a credit to them, and will aid them in acquiring a pastor always. The way the committee is fixing up the courthouse is highly creditable. Now let the city dads trim the trees so that the building shall show forth its majesty and glory. The dedication of the new church in Detroit will take place next Sunday.

125 Years Ago Sept. 28, 1895 Last week opened for a heated term that should beat all former September records. The entire week the thermometer played at 90 and above. Sunday there was a strong wind, almost a tornado. During the afternoon and night rain fell, and the thermometer dropped 30 to 40 degrees. The hot weather and wind ripened and dried up the corn so rapidly that farmers found themselves driven to cutting up before they expected to. The wheat seeding and corn cutting came right together. Last week Strauss and Bro. purchased of John Curlis his farm of 190 acres northwest of town for $6650. This week they purchased the John Helme farm of 480 acres for $21,000. There was a rush when the doors of the opera house were opened for the Uncle Tom’s Cabin show Monday night. It was the largest attendance of any show since the opening of the K. P. opera house last year. 100 Years Ago Sept. 22, 1920

Last Sunday morning Mr. and Mrs. Dean Sneeden and children and Mr. and Mrs. Harve D. Smith started for Jacksonville to spend the day. As they drove onto the ferry at Florence the brakes failed to work properly, and the car shot across the boat and plunged off in the river—all but the rear wheels, which caught and held the car on the edge of the boat. All held on until rescued. The Quincy Lions Club is determined to make a pilgrimage to Hannibal and Pittsfield to advertise Quincy and its men. The club will arrive in Pittsfield; have a parade, before the new Pittsfield Lions Club is installed. For the first time since 1917 corn sold below a dollar a bushel at Kansas City Monday when December delivery dropped to 99 cents. 75 Years Ago Sept. 26, 1945 A huge, but patient crowd awaited the arrival of Major General Hobart Gay yesterday from St. Louis to Rockport, but at 3 p.m. they were told bad weather had grounded his plane at Dayton, Ohio. The program and parade went on as planned, with many of his family members present, but the general did not reach Rockport until driving there late last night. In an atmosphere of reverence and in the presence of the largest number of distinguished Catholic churchmen ever in Pittsfield, hundreds of Catholics knelt during the Diamond Jubilee high mass this morning. The church properties, including Calvary Cemetery, have been put in to the finest condition possible. The present church building dates from 1870.

Press Association. The Pittsfield High School FFA officers for 1995-96 are Aaron Ruble, president; Keith Walker, vice president; Amy Gregory, secretary; Randi Herron, reporter; Jason Thomas, treasurer; and Ryan Springer, sentinel.

The Pike County Farm Bureau has bought the vacant lot north of the post office of Grace Armentrout, and plans to erect a building of its own. Norma Jean Birch was named the 1945 Griggsville Apple Queen in front of a record-breaking crowd at the Griggsville Apple Festival. John Stout of Milton was home from Camp Crowder, Mo. for a few days. He expects his discharge soon. He is badly needed since Milton has been without a barber since he has been in the Army.

10 Years Ago Sept. 22, 2010 A new broadband internet company will be making its way through central Illinois, and has Pike County included in its upcoming plans. Peg Ratliff was named Friend of the Festival by the Griggsville Apple Festival Committee this year. Lacy Emrick was crowned Apple Festival queen. Q Pickings from Pike’s Past is compiled by Michael Boren.

50 Years Ago Sept. 23, 1970 Pittsfield High School’s enrollment has declined from 549 last year to 533 this fall. Unit 10’s enrollment total enrollment is 2,070 students, down two from this time last year. End Wayne Chamberlain scored the first Saukee touchdown of the 1970 season as he caught a pass from his cousin, quarterback Jay Carlton, and then scooted 50 yards for the score, as the Saukees defeated North Greene 19-0 for their 37th straight victory. North Greene was held to only four first downs by the Saukee defense.

Nancy Ross Chapter meets for first time in six months The Nancy Ross Chapter of DAR (Daughter of American Revolution) met Wednesday, Sept. 9, at the All Wars Museum for their first meeting since March. Several meetings had to be canceled because of COVID-19. Members were updated about the four Good Citizen Award winners from last spring. They were: Western High School - Autumn Schulz, daughter of Herb and Teresa Schulz, Pleasant Hill High School – Carly Jo McGlynn, daughter of Joseph McGlynn and Jennifer Horton, GriggsvillePerry High School - Dalton Sheuman, son of Cory and Gina Sheuman and Pittsfield High School - Rebecca Barton, daughter of Dan and Carol Barton. It was reported that the much anticipated sign reading, “Adams-Dustin Cemetery, Nancy Ross Burial Site, DAR Namesake� had been put up on the northeast side of IL Highway 96 about 400 feet northwest of junction 96 and 54 at Atlas.

The help of the County Road Commissioner was noted and appreciated. The group was delighted to know that 16 boxes had been sent by member Paula Biddle to Afghanistan for the troops. The chapter provided some of the contents for those packages. Nancy Ross Chapter will provide donuts to the veterans who gather for “Morning at the Mess Hall� at the museum, Friday, Oct. 2. The next meeting will take place Saturday, Oct. 3. The chapter will be honoring Martin Miller, Revolutionary War Patriot at the Old Miller Cemetery at Pearl. The ceremony will be at 3 p.m. and is open to the public. The Illinois State Regent is expected to attend as well as other state DAR officers. Members will then meet at the Detroit Town Hall for a light meal and short business meeting. Emily Pursley will be awarded the Mary Desha Award which is given by NSDAR.

Roger’s accident was witnessed by a surgeon who had recently lost his son in a similar accident. But for the immediate, heroic, and life sustaining efforts administered at the scene by this surgeon, Roger would have died immediately. Even so, Roger sustained massive head trauma and internal injuries. He was in a coma for three months and his mother remained by his hospital bed continuously playing recorded scriptures and scripture songs to her unconscious son. After he regained consciousness and was well enough to leave the hospital, he was required to appear before a judge to adjudicate the accident. In the court proceedings, little was said about the actual accident but the judge told Roger at length that Jesus Christ had died for his sins and faith in Christ was the only way to salvation. Roger subsequently rededicated himself to his Lord and Savior. Roger then attended Hazelwood Presbyterian Church, where he sang in the choir. Subsequent to this accident, Roger enjoyed his work in production at Haywood Vocational Opportunities in Waynesville North Carolina. He lived at home with his parents for a period of time and then moved to an assisted living facility. At this facility Roger readily shared his

Roger Kingsbury Dyer

Early Sunday morning on September 6, 2020 Roger Kingsbury Dyer (age 68) was taken to be with the Lord. Roger was delivered on January 30, 1952 as the fourth of six children born to David Patterson and Eloise Miles Dyer, formerly of Eagles Nest Road in Waynesville, NC. He is survived by two brothers and two sisters: David, Allen, Margaret, and Carolyn. His parents and his sister Bonnie have already passed. In addition, Roger is survived by 12 nieces and nephews, as well as 19 great nieces and nephews. Even at a young age, Roger was a very hard worker and always appreciated having a job to do. He was quite strong and was able to lift and haul heavy loads of fence rails, firewood, and rocks. The strength he developed by hard work as a child translated into an outstanding high school athletic career. He started and lettered several years in basketball and football. In Tuscola High School he was also a member or the Honor Society, President of the Student Council, and President of the Student Body. Roger was a committed Christian and was President of the Episcopal Youth Churchmen and was a member of the Fellowship of Christian Athletes. Unfortunately, when Roger was in his early 20’s, his Christian faith appeared to cool and he became very involved in a secular religion. On a trip related to

faith with other residents, with staff, and with visitors alike. He was known as “The Preacher� and was elected president of the residents. Gladly would he pray for anyone he encountered. Gladly would he share a scripture or word of encouragement. Among Roger’s favorite bible verses were the words of Jesus as recorded in the Gospel of Mathew: “‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets A graveside service will be held at 2 pm Thursday September 17, 2020 in Wilson Cemetery in Perry.

PLEASANT HILL

Fall and harvest coming hand-in-hand Well it is really starting to feel and look like Fall out there. And I guess for good reason since official start is this coming Tuesday Sept. 22. It is a very busy season in and around here at home and the county for farmers and those associated with them. The Pleasant Hill reunion for the classes of ’54, ’55, ’56 and 57 has been canceled this year due to the health concerns and our

young ages (haha). Everyone sure enjoyed the get together at Cardinal Inn last year and sure hope maybe in the future we can meet with a trip to the Pleasant Hill Harman House museum. Keep in touch with your friends! (JeanAnn Crader) We’re coming up on a very important week for not only farmers but for everyone around them. Fall harvest time can be one of the busiest and most danger-

ous seasons of the year for the agriculture industry. For this reason, the third week of September has been recognized as National Farm Safety and Health Week. Let us all be vigilant on and off the farm. Sure hope and pray all have a very safe and bountiful harvest!

Deepest sympathy to Ginger Whitlock and all the family of George Whitlock who passed away Thursday, Sept. 10, after a short but courageous battle with cancer.

My soul, wait thou only upon God; for my expectation is from him. He only is my rock and my salvation: he is my defence; I shall not be moved. In God is my salvation and my glory: the rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God. Psalms 61:5-7 Still could use your news, folks. I like to do a column that takes a little time for people to read. Clari Dees, one of the librarians from the Pittsfield Public Library, is a published author of nine books.

Pittsfield Pizza Hut not closing

Rumors of closures of regional Pizza Hut restaurants are unfortunately true, but the restaurant in Pittsfield will remain open, according to manager Mike Long. “I heard the same rumors,� he said. “So

I asked our regional manager and was told those that are closing were owned by different owners than those that have our restaurant.�

LaHood introduces bill to establish the New Philadelphia Site as a national historical park Congressman Darin LaHood (IL-18) introduced H.R. 8224, legislation to establish the New Philadelphia National Historical Park in the State of Illinois as a unit of the National Park System. New Philadelphia, which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and designated as a National Historic Landmark, was the first town platted and legally registered by an African American, Frank McWorter. McWorter founded the town, which is now part of Barry in 1836. “New Philadelphia and Frank McWorter’s story is an important part of our Illinois and our nation’s history that is not often

told,� Rep. Lahood said. “Since joining Congress, I have been proud to work with my colleagues in Congress, the Pike County community, and the New Philadelphia Association to properly preserve and recognized this historical site. I believe that this site deserves to be a national historic park, and I am proud to introduce legislation to designate it as such.� “The New Philadelphia Association is extremely pleased that Congressman Darin LaHood has introduced the bill to include the historic townsite of New Philadelphia as a unit of the National Park System. Preserving and

telling the story of New Philadelphia and its founder Frank McWorter is a part of American history that has not been told. The including of the townsite as part of the National Park System will preserve and bring this important part of our national history to people now and in the future. We are very pleased at this time of social unrest that Congressman LaHood and other leaders recognize the need to preserve and tell this remarkable story,� Philip E. Bradshaw, president of the New Philadelphia Association, said. In 2016, Congressman LaHood toured the site and visited with the New Philadelphia Association.

Pleasant Hill receives digital equity funds By DAVID CAMPHOUSE Pike Press Pleasant Hill Superintendent Ron Edwards reported at the district’s Monday, Sept. 14 meeting that the school has received $48,500 from the Illinois State Board of Education (ISBE) to purchase touchscreen Chromebooks and pay for student WiFi hotspots. According to Edwards, the grant will assist young students and students without internet access during the COVID-19 pandemic. “The touchscreen devices are more age and developmentally appropriate for our youngest learners,� Edwards said. “We were also able to purchase 12 WiFi hotspots, which will be offered to students on a lending basis.� The board approved a $120,000 loan from working cash to the district’s

education fund, although Edwards said the loan may be repaid as soon as the end of the month pending property tax fund availability to the district. “The only reason for that money is we are waiting on local tax dollars,� Edwards said. “We may send that money back as soon as our meeting on the 30th.� Edwards also said the district elected not to transfer $15,000 from working cash to operations maintenance, because the district received needed evidencebased funding from the state. Board members went on to conduct a first reading of district policy changes related to Title IX sexual harassment policies. Superintendent Edwards and Principal Ryan Lowe both reported that the beginning of the school year has gone well at

Pleasant Hill, and the two administrators praised students, staff and families for assisting the district during the COVID-altered school year. During executive session, the school board agreed to hire Jesse Crowder as a school custodian, and the board agreed to give substitute hourly workers a $0.75 raise. All other district hourly workers were given a $0.75 raise in July. The Pleasant Hill school board will hold a special meeting Wednesday, Sept. 30 to approve the next fiscal year’s budget. Finally, Edwards said that a petition from the Illinois High School Association to take back control of decision making regarding athletics from the governor’s office and the Illinois Department of Public Health will likely be reviewed this week.

The committee making Quilt of Valor for veterans has resumed presenting quilts after taking a hiatus from distributing the patriotic quilts. Shirley Kingery, who spearheads the project, said the quilt makers have been busy making quilts, but because of COVID, could not do formal presentations. Bruce Zumwalt, an Army veteran who served in Vietnam, was one of the first to receive a quilt. Zumwalt was joined by his wife, Nancy, standing left and sister-in-law Jean Sleight.
