Public hearing on special service tax tonight

By BETH ZUMWALT Pike Press A public hearing for the purpose of hearing commentary and answering questions on the proposed special service area tax for Scott County will be tonight at 7 p.m. at the courthouse.

Winchester EMS is asking for the special service area tax to help fund the ambulance which is facing financial concerns.

“There is no tax for ambulances in Illinois,” Lynnette Schafer said last

year, when the EMS crew announced it was seeking a funding source for the ambulance. “That’s why it is called a special service tax.”

The tax would be levied in most of Scott County, excepting the areas covered by the Chapin Ambulance District and the Meredosia Ambulance District.

If the hearing is held, property owners objecting will 60 days to collect 51 percent of the electors residing in the county’s signature on a petition objecting to the creation of the district.

Winchester Police Department Winchester looking to update new city hall to stay in current location

By CARMEN ENSINGER Scott County Times Winchester Police Department will be staying in its current quarters after the Winchester City Council bowed to the request of Winchester Chief of Police George Lindsey who asked the council to let the police department stay in its current location rather than move to the new city hall on the square.

Plans were to move the city offices and the police department to the former bank building purchased by the city last year. The fire department and street department would remain in the old city hall.

However, Lindsey requested that the council let the police department stay in its current location and let the street department move into the new location since street department workers have more interaction with the office workers than the police department.

“I haven’t been into this office in the last month,” Lindsey said. “However, the street department is interacting with the clerk’s office all the time with Julie calls and other issues.”

Last month Lindsey pointed out that since the generator was located at the current city hall that it would be better to leave the police department where it is at now and let the street department move into the new quarters.

“It just doesn’t make any sense to move the

Originally, the fire department would stay in the old city hall, as would the street department. The clerk’s office and police department would be moved to the new city hall.

However, Lindsey pointed out that there were issues involved in moving the city hall.

“It would be much better if we just left the police department here because it is much more conducive to privacy, especially for the (See, POLICE, A2)

By CARMEN ENSINGER Scott County Times The city of Winchester will have to make some electrical upgrades to its new city hall building before they will be able to move in Alderman Ron Bell said he met with Ameren recently to take a look at the electrical system in the former bank building.

“The building has been out of code for years” Bell said.

“There are two meters located upstairs and Ameren requires all meters to be located outside where they can access them. The building needs to be completely rewired.”

The building is still operating on a three-phase system.

Changing to a single phase system could cost the city a lot less in electricity.

“They estimate a savings of around $238 a month by getting rid of the three phase system,” Bell said. “We have a preliminary bid of $9,000 to $11,000 from Gregory Electric to do the wiring and they can start on Monday.”

Even though the city did not have any other bids for the rewiring, because Gregory Electric had done so much work just figuring out what needed to be done, the council gave the okay for them to start work on Monday to do the project at a cost not to exceed $11,500.

Another incentive was that if Gregory Electric didn’t start Monday, they had another project lined up and could not get to the city hall for a month.

The rest of the work on the building the city hopes to be able to fund through a USDA Community Facilities grant. The city (See, CITY HALL, A2)

McHugh recieves Kay Harr Scholarship Katherine McHugh, left, a 2019 graduate of Winchester High School, accepts the Kay Harr Scholarship from Harr’s husband, Bill. Every year since 1998 the Kay Harr scholarship has been presented to a graduating senior going into education. The scholarship is in honor of Harr who taught English at Winchester High School for 30 years and is always presented the first day of the Winchester Invitational Tournament.

City Hall

(Continued from A1) can apply for a 50/50 matching grant for up to $50,000.

City Attorney John Paul Coonrod said the city had received several bids to replace the windows upstairs, replace the overhang, replace the AC units on the roof as well as replacing the furnace and update the building to LED lighting.

“These are estimates and not bids,” Coonrod said. “We needed those estimates so we would have some kind of good faith numbers to give to the USDA. The city will now submit a pre-application and if it is approved by the USDA then they will submit a final bid application. Total estimated project cost is $69,500 so the city is asking for $34,750 in grant money.

An update on the swimming pool was given. The lowest bid for renovation of the pool, including a new filter and bath house came in at over $1 million dollars, more than $300,000 over the estimate.

All of the bids received were subsequently rejected because the city had to either accept or reject the bids 60 days from opening them and the 60 days fell Jan. 13.

“I met with Greg Hillis with Benton and Associates this morning and he has contracted the low bidder to see if they can’t reduce the costs,” Mayor Rex McIntire said. “The most they could come up with is $28,000 and

that is not near enough.”

The city has until May 8, 2021 to complete the project so McIntire said he asked if the entire project had to be done at one time.

“Right now, we have to have a filter house to be able to open up this year,” McIntire said. “We still have the bath house. One thing he (Hillis) mentioned was trying to utilize part of the filter building we have now and putting a small one beside it to keep cost down. If we get that done at least we can open up this season.”

Plans were to schedule a committee meeting and discuss some changes that might be made, such as downsizing the size of the bathhouse.

The city received three bids for tree removal for a tree at the park and one on Pearl Street. Powell tree service submitted the low bid of $400 for the tree on Pearl Street and $500 for the tree at the park and the council accepted both bids.

The council approved a payment of $38,000 to Benton and Associates for work on the sewer on Mechanic Street.

McIntire said the project is not completed but the sewer is operational.

“They won’t be able to complete it until spring when it settles and they can do the reseeding,” McIntire said. “But all the homeowners in that area should be very happy now.”

(Continued from A1) tive days suspension from all non-academic extracurricular activities including dances, competitions, performances, field trips, etcetera plus complete counseling treatment plan. The second offense carries a 365 day suspension. Third offense they are banned for the remainder of high school eligibility.

Lynn Bohlmann, of Winchester brought up the fact that the American Academy of Pediatrics was against drug testing in schools and was concerned what ramifications the punishment could have on students.

“My biggest concern is that we are taking away one of the most positive attributes of school away from students because they are young and stupid,” she said. “One of the best things about participating in sports or any other activity is the pro-social behavior it encourages. When you are out there physical exercising you are not going to be wanting to do as much of the other (drugs).

According to the AAP “Although school drug testing has hypothetical benefits, and studies have noted modest reductions in self-reported student drug use, the American Academy of Pediatrics opposes widespread implementation of these programs because of the lack of solid evidence for their effectiveness.”

The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administrations (SAMHSA) believes school resources could be better used to provide treatment to students rather than spent on drug tests.

“The SAMHSA estimates that less than 10% of adolescents with a substance use disorder receive any treatment/ Using limited resources to provide advice, counseling, and even on-site treatment of adolescents could

both serve a preventive role and increase the number of adolescents who have their substance use disorders addressed and ultimately have a larger effect on reducing student drug use than drug testing alone.”

The AAP recommends that schools and school districts that do choose to use schoolbased drug testing carefully consider and monitor the program for potential adverse effects, including decreased participation in sports, breach of confidentiality, increases in use of substances not included on testing panels, and increases in the number of students facing disciplinary action.

But Blankenship said there are no studies that prove it increases drug use either.

“Going back to our goals and purpose, this is just another tool I the box that, at the very least, is going to allow us to identify someone who has a problem and then be able to get that person help,” he said.

One audience member asked how the program was going to be funded and how much it was going to cost.

“We are looking to test roughly three percent of the students so we estimated for Winchester the cost of the program is going to run around $3,000 a year and at Bluffs roughly $1,500,” Blankenship said. “We are going to find the funds to fund the program.”

Blankenship said both districts have seen an increase in drug use.

“In Bluffs, we have an anonymous tip line and we have multiple reports each year,” he said. “Those reports are coming in and I think that is where we said we are seeing an increase. It reached a point where we need to do something. Law enforcement has seen an increase we well. This has been in motion for the past two years.”

Are cover crops shifting insect populations?

By DUANE FRIEND

The adoption of cover crops has increased at a slow but steady pace over the last few years. One of the questions producers may have is what type of insects may be present in cover crops, and are they beneficial or pest in nature. A University of Illinois study in central and southern Illinois is examining this.

Led by Dr. Nick Seiter at the University of Illinois and with help from University of Illinois Extension field staff, the study is assessing insects in soybean fields following cereal rye. Results are compared to nearby fields with no cover crop. The study is also examining the effect of cover termination timing on insects and damage potential. The concern here is having a green living cover with similar pest insects present at the time the regular crop is planted, providing a “green bridge� for the insects to continue their life cycle.

Forty four soybean fields were looked at in 2019. Twenty three sites had a rye cover, with 21 having no cover. Several

sampling techniques were used, including sticky, pitfall, pheromone, and shingle traps. Sampling was done weekly. Due to the wet spring, some sites were sampled up to six weeks before planting, with all sites continuing sampling for 3 weeks after planting.

Due to the huge number of samples, processing and analyzing samples is ongoing.

Basic results for the 2019 growing season showed no obvious difference in insect or slug damage between the rye cover and no cover plots.

In the termination trials, no serious insect damage was evident based on late termination. Some fields in southern Illinois did have slug damage, but the damage in both cover and non-cover fields were similar.

While this is the first year of the study, the takeaway so far appears to be that rye cover crops work well when going into soybean. It is too early to tell if beneficial insects from cover crops help the regular crop, and will continue to be researched.

Though cover crops don’t guarantee pest problems, they may increase certain infestations, especially if the

[ fact ] Newspapers won’t if you

DROP them

cover crop is similar to the regular crop being grown, such as a grass type cover crop before corn.

A general recommendation is terminating cover crops 10 to 21 days before planting. This will help remove the “green bridge�, and is more critical when the field is going into corn.

As always, be vigilant and scout at planting time whether using a cover crop or not. If using a grassy cover like rye before corn, be on the lookout for cutworms or armyworms. Cutworm treatments are warranted if greater than 5% of plants are cut. Armyworm treatments should be used if 25% of the corn plants are damaged.

The 2020 Certified Livestock Manager Training workshops, held in 10 locations throughout the state, will began Jan. 8 in Effingham and conclude Feb. 26 in Springfield. A workshop will be held in Pittsfield Feb. 6 at 9 a.m.

The University of Illinois Extension workshops provide Illinois livestock producers the manure management training they need to meet the requirements of the state’s Livestock Management Facilities Act. The Livestock Management Facilities Act requires facilities with 300 or more animal units to have at least one employee certified in proper manure handling procedures. For facilities with 300 to 999 animal units, at least one employee must attend a workshop or pass the Illinois Department of Agriculture’s Certified Livestock Manager exam. Employees of facilities with 1,000 or more animal units must do both to achieve certification.

Please note that all workshops begin at 9 a.m. with the exception of the Feb 5th training at the Illinois Pork Expo which will start at 12:30 p.m. All trainings will take 3 1/2 hours with the IDOA exam administered after the training.

2020 Workshop dates and locations are as follows: Pre-registration is highly recommended so we may notify registrants if unforeseen circumstances require us to cancel or reschedule a workshop.

The IDOA CLM Exam questions are taken directly from this manual. Some of this curriculum will be covered during the workshops. However, it is impossible to cover all of the exam material in one workshop, so acquiring and reviewing the manual in advance is highly recommended.

Please visit the Certified Livestock Managers Training webpage at go.illinois. edu/clmt for more information about registration, manuals, online training options, and other resources.

Producers and employees also have the option of taking five online quizzes. Passing them is the equivalent of having attended a workshop, but does not substitute for passing the state administered Certified Livestock Manager exam. Registration is open for the CLM Online Training Program at go.illinois.edu/clmt. There is no charge to take the online quizzes other than the cost of a manual.

New garden plants for 2020 The garden catalogs are coming thick and fast this time of year. If you’re in the market for something new this year, some plants to consider would be the AllAmerican Selections Winners. All-American Selections (AAS) is an independent, non-profit organization that trials new, unreleased plant varieties at different trial sites across the U.S. and Canada. Independent judges compare entries to plants that have already been introduced and evaluate these new plants on a number of different qualities. After the trials, the top garden performers are given the AAS Winner award designation for their superior performance. For 2020 there were nine national winners (six vegetable and three flower): Cucumber Green Light F1 is a great tasting mini cucumber that will produce 40 or more 3-5 inch spineless fruits that mature earlier than comparison varieties.

These plants trellis well so they can be grown on stakes or poles for easy harvest.

Pumpkin Blue Prince F1 is an early maturing edible pumpkin that can also be used as an ornamental. Plants will produce seven to nine blue flattened pumpkins on vigorous vines. The flesh of these pumpkins is non-stringy, deep orange with a smooth, creamy texture.

Tomato Apple Yellow F1 is a prolific plant, producing up to 1,000 bright yellow apple-shaped fruit. The plants are indeterminate, reaching up to six feet tall.

The fruit are long-holding on the vine and are delicious with a good sweet/acid ratio and firm flesh.

Tomato Celano F1 is a patio type grape tomato with a strong bushy habit that produces sweet oblong fruits. These plants have excellent late blight resistant and are ideal for growing in pots due to their smaller size, although they do best with some support.

Tomato Early Resilience F1 is a Roma tomato that is ideal for canning and cooking. These determinate, bushy plants grow to about two feet tall. They have good resistance to blossom end rot as well as several other diseases.

Watermelon Mambo F1 produces three to four round melons with dark green rinds and deep red flesh per plant. Fruit weigh about 11 pounds and hold well, meaning they won’t over ripen if you can’t harvest them right away.

Coleus Main Street Beale Street is the first coleus to be named an AAS Winner.

Plants have deep red foliage and hold their color well, even into late summer.

These bushy plants grow uniformly and

don’t flower until very late in the season – up to 6 weeks later than the comparisons.

They can be successfully grown from full sun to full shade.

Echinacea SombreroÂŽ Baja Burgundy produces vibrant, deep violet-red blossoms that are perfect for cut flowers.

These plants bloom from mid-summer until frost and were noted for their hardiness, sturdy branching, and floriferous blooming habit.

Rudbeckia x American Gold Rush produces golden-yellow flowers with black centers and arched petals from July through September. They were bred for resistance to Septoria leaf spot and showed no signs of the fungus even in wet, humid conditions.

Whether you’re an experienced gardener or just starting, make sure to check out these and other AAS winners. To see a list of all of the winners dating back to 1934, visit the All-American Selections website at: all-americaselections.org.

Good Growing Fact of the Week: AllAmerica Selections tests new varieties every year at over 80 private and public trial sites located around the United States and Canada. Currently, there are five trial locations in Illinois (three northern, one central, one southern).

Farmers gather for state’s first Hemp Summit Some had better luck than others in Illinois’ first year of legal hemp production

By PETER HANCOCK Capitol News Illinois Illinois Department of Agriculture Director John Sullivan said Tuesday that interest in the newly-legalized hemp industry continues to build, but more work needs to be done for the industry to mature.

Sullivan spoke to reporters at the state’s first Hemp Summit at the Illinois State Fairgrounds in Springfield where nearly 700 farmers, processors and other people involved in the hemp industry gathered to talk about what they learned during the 2019 growing season — the first season of legal hemp production in Illinois. “People are excited. There’s a lot of questions,� he said. “This is an industry, I would say, in its infancy stages at the moment. We have a lot to learn and that’s what our speakers are here today to talk about.�

State officials won’t know until next month exactly how many acres of hemp were planted or harvested, but the state certified more than 21,000 acres as being eligible for hemp planting — considerably more than officials expected.

Jeff Cox, who heads the department’s medicinal plant bureau, said the agency registered 644 farmers to grow hemp

Manchester Methodist Church Rev. Robin Lyons 217-742-3320 First Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) First Baptist Church Church: (217) 742-3480 East Union Baptist Church Grace Baptist Church Terry Beauchamp Christ Lutheran Church 742-3919 Church of the New Song Church 217-754-3617

and licensed 194 processors.

Hemp, a close relative of the marijuana plant, had been illegal in the United States since 1937, although the federal government did encourage its production during World War II. But after decades of debate, Congress reversed course in 2014 with passage of a Farm Bill that authorized hemp production for research purposes. It then lifted the ban entirely with passage of the 2018 Farm Bill.

Under that law, hemp is only legal if it contains no more than 0.3 percent of THC, the psychoactive ingredient in marijuana.

If a crop contains any amount of THC above that limit, it is considered marijuana and must be destroyed.

Some farmers grow hemp for its fiber, which can be used in a wide variety of products such as rope, cloth and even building materials. So far in Illinois, however, hemp farmers have focused exclusively on a variety that produces CBD oil, thought to have a number of medicinal uses, ranging from an anti-inflammatory treatment to controlling seizures.

That’s mainly because there

are not yet any industrial facilities to process hemp fiber in Illinois, and only a limited number of processors for hemp oil. “There’s a huge need for more processing capacity in the state,� said Justin Ward, cofounder of Stoney Branch Ag Ventures, near Rushville — a company that provides custom farming and consulting services to hemp producers. “I have a number of farmers who are having issues with getting their product into processing, and I know what few processors we have in the state are very backed up.�

As the planting season began this past spring, some people were estimating farmers could make as much as $90,000 to $160,000 per acre growing hemp for oil. But as some found out this year, the new hemp supply drove prices down. “There was a lot of discussion about get-rich-quick,�

Sullivan said. “You’ve got to keep in mind, Illinois is not the only state doing this. Nearly every state in the country is in this process.�

Even with the price drop, however, Ward said he had a

successful year. “We had a very successful year producing for CBD,� he said. “We already have our product on shelves in stores all over the state, so we had a very successful first season.�

Some other hemp farmers weren’t as fortunate, though.

Trent Lawrence, who started growing hemp on a farm near Delavan, where he also grows organic vegetables, had the experience that all farmers dread. “We actually had a tornadic super cell pass over our farm the day we were supposed to start harvesting,� he said. “It broke all of our plants —the whole field. It touched down about a quarter-mile from our farm and went directly over us.�

Lawrence said he ended up harvesting very little crop, a significant loss considering how labor- and capital-intensive hemp farming is, but he said he fully intends to try again in 2020. “I got all the equipment now.

I’ve got to keep doing it,� he said. “Every year is not going to be as bad as this year.�

“You were taught, with regard to your former way of life, to put off your old self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires; to be made new in the attitude of your minds; and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness.�

Ephesians 4:22-24 NIV

W

hen one considers the evil that has been done in the name of religion, it is understandable that many give up entirely on organized religion. The sexual abuse crisis in the Catholic church has probably done more to drive the faithful from the pews than “secular humanism� or other worldly philosophies. Likewise, when people see that Islamic extremists are willing to kill innocent people in the name of God, this is a repellant to almost all religion. The history of the world is awash in the blood of innocents killed in the name of God, and when we look closely at the history of any religion, we almost always see that right from the start strife, division, and schism are there. Read the Acts of the Apostles and see that the early church was beset by division. There were disputes over whether the Gentile converts to Christianity were required to follow the dietary and other restrictions of Judaism (cf. Acts 15). We see also that the Hellenistic Jews complained that their widows were being overlooked in the daily

distribution of food (cf. Acts 6:1).

Rumblings of discontent show up early in every organization and continue throughout its life. The philosopher Immanuel Kant remarked that “Out of the crooked timber of humanity, no straight thing was ever made.�

Understanding this should make us humble, and tolerant of the foibles of others. We are all weak and by nature sinful, but we can improve, with the help of God and a sincere desire to be better persons. –Christopher Simon
