School enrollments State grant offers some down in Scott County relief to livestock industry
By BETH ZUMWALT Scott County Times Following a regional trend, school enrollments in Scott County are down this year. Bluffs went from 225 in the 2019 school year to 216 in the current school year. Winchester dropped from 620 to 613. Kevin Blankenship, superintendent of both school districts offered no explanation for the decline, but it was noted in the Bluffs Sept. 14 meeting that people are leaving
the area. “Nobody moves here,� Mark Westermeyer said during a discussion concerning a feasibility study regarding the consolidation of the Winchester and Bluffs districts. “There are no stores, no economic activity.� Shelly Tweedy, another board member, agreed with Westermeyer. “There is nothing to draw younger families here,� she said. Younger families that move here would experience such a culture shift.�
Odd Fellows Burgoo set for Oct. 17 By CARMEN ENSINGER Scott County Times
B
urgoo– that mystery concoction of meat, vegetables and spices that is cooked overnight over an open fire in huge kettes– is being served for the first time this year by the Winchester Odd Fellows on Saturday, Oct. 17 starting at 7 a.m. on the north side of Monument Park. Normally, the Odd Fellows cook and sell their burgoo on the square on the first weekend in April on the Winchester Square, but COVID-19 squashed that this year. “We contacted the health department to see if we would be able to serve burgoo, and it was decided we could so we set out trying to figure out a time that made it work for all of us in our lodge,� Odd Fellow President Chuck Frost said. “Then we were informed that the Methodist Church were not going to make their kettles of burgoo this year, so the Kilver family gave us
the corn that they normally grow for their burgoo, so we decided we would have it on the same weekend as the Methodist Church had theirs.� While the Methodist Church usually makes six huge kettles of burgoo and the Odd Fellows usually only make one kettle of burgoo in April, the Lodge decided to split the difference and make three kettles. “This is going to be a tremendous undertaking for us because it is going to be three times the work we are normally used to,� Frost said. “Instead of 60 gallons of burgoo, we will be making about 190 gallons this year.� To put this in perspective, if one kettle of burgoo takes 100 pounds of potatoes and 50 pounds of carrots, the roughly 20 active lodge members will be required to peel 300 pounds of potatoes and 150 pounds of carrots this year. Frost said the prep work usually begins the night before around 6 p.m., and since it will be held at Monument Park this year, it will be at the pavilion across from the Nimrod Funk Building.

Winchester woman wins Pass the Bacon contest By CARMEN ENSINGER Scott County Times A chance scroll through Facebook has resulted in 50 packages of bacon being donated to the Outreach Community Center and subsequently distributed to 50 needy families in the area in their monthly food giveaway. Deanna Morris, of Winchester, was scrolling through her newsfeed one afternoon when a news item from the Illinois Pork Producers scrolled across her feed. It was a contest called Pass The Bacon. “It said that they wanted to help those in need across the state and that all you had to
do to participate was to nominate your local food pantry, and if my name was chose as one of the lucky winners they would receive 50 packages of bacon,� Morris said. “The Outreach Community Center does so much good for so many people in this community and it didn’t cost anything to enter the contest so I figured – why not give it a try?� Weeks went by and Morris
had even forgotten she had entered the contest when she received an email. “I received this email that said my name was chosen as one of the winners of the contest,� she said. “I was completely shocked, because, to be honest, I had forgotten I had even entered it.

Sheriff says PCJ is addressing BREAD OF LOVE excessive phone charges
By BETH ZUMWALT Scott County Times Pike County Sheriff David Greenwood says inmates using the phones at the jail in Pike County should soon see a drastic lowering of the rates. Scott County does not have a jail of its own and frequently houses inmates in Pike County. Greene County is also on the list of jails whose costs exceed the Federal Communications Commission recommended rate. Greenwood said the county entered into a contract with a company that would provide inmate calling services and the rates have been exorbitant. The arrangement was made before he took office. “We have tried to negotiate a better rate, but they are not interested,” Greenwood said. “Our contract with them expires, Nov. 1 and we have already sent a letter advising them we would not be renewing.” Greenwood said he is hopeful the new provider of phones at the jail will be able to offer some enhanced services
such a FaceTime calling. According to a report from the Federal Communications Commission, the Pike County Jail, along with 60 other Illinois correctional facilities, charged rates for in-state calls above the out-of-state caps last year, with some exceeding $20 for a 15-minute call. Nationwide the number of correctional facilities numbers approximately 13,000. Pike County charges inmates, $4.30 for the fist minute and 80 cents for each additional minute with a 15 minute call rate of $15.50. Greene County’s rate is $3.25 per minute, 33 cents for each additional minutes and a 15 minute call is $7.88. Nationwide Clovis, Calif. is the highest with A $26.25 15-minute call rate. Federal Communications Commission Chairman Ajit Pai has implored governors around the country to take action to ensure incarcerated individuals can maintain vital community connections by addressing the toooften exorbitant rates and fees charged
for inmates to make intrastate phone calls. Chairman Pai and Brandon Presley, President of the National Association of Regulatory Utility Commissioners, have written to the leadership of the National Governors Association to highlight this issue and focus the attention of state leaders on their unique power and responsibility to address this problem. The letter includes a list of every prison and jail in the country that, according to an FCC information collection, charged intrastate rates above the interstate caps last year, with some exceeding $20 for a 15-minute call. According to the FCC, exorbitantly high rates and charges can impede the ability of incarcerated individuals to maintain vital connections by making it prohibitively expensive to stay in touch with their families. Studies have long shown that contact with family and other loved ones during incarceration reduces recidivism and lessens disruptive and anxious behaviors in children with incarcerated parents.
White Hall Oktoberfest this Friday and Saturday
By CARMEN ENSINGER Scott County Times Tired of staying home? Come out to White Hall’s Oktoberfest events this weekend for some fun and entertainment for all as the White Hall Police Department and the White Hall Lions Club join together to present a combination 4th of July and Oktoberfest all rolled into one this Friday and Saturday, Oct. 9 and 10. The parade and fireworks, both the highlights of the Fourth of July event, are scheduled to take place Saturday during Oktoberfest. “We were not able to have our annual celebration on the Fourth of July but we didn’t want to end such a long standing tradition completely so we just sort of postponed it,” Lions Club President Danny Powell said. “We still wanted to have our parade and our fireworks, which are both the really big draws to our event and since
the police department has their event in October, we thought we could join in with them for one big event which would benefit both of us.” The fun begins on Friday evening at 6 p.m. with the White Hall Lions Club Pumpkin Glow Run 5k Glow Run which begins at Lions Park. The big day Saturday, Oct. 10, which is chock full of events for young and old alike kicks off with the parade, beginning at 10 a.m. and starting at the North Greene High School. This year’s theme is the Great Pumpkin Parade and is based on Charlie Brown and the Great Pumpkin. There is no fee to enter this year’s parade. “We have done away with the entry fee as a way to get more people to enter the parade this year because this is such an unusual year,” Powell said. “Normally, we have one of the largest parades around drawing

The only thing conspicuously absent from the event is the carnival. “We were trying to get a carnival to come to what would have been our Fourth of July celebration but could not,” Powell said. “We found out that the state would not issue the permit to the carnival company due to regulations.”
entries from all around, but this year is far from normal, and we can’t expect them this year.” Social distancing will be practiced during the parade and is encouraged along the parade route as well. “We are hoping that people will heed the advice of the health department and wear their masks and remain a distance of six feet apart along the parade route,” Powell said. “We want this event to be a safe one for everyone involved.” After the parade, the fun moves down to Lions Park where there will be around 20 vendors set up selling a variety of items and games for the kids to play as well as bingo for the adults. The Lions Club will be selling food from 11 a.m. until after the fireworks which begin at dark. Vendors will be selling their wares from noon until 6 p.m. Bingo will be available from noon until 5 p.m. and then from 6

SNAKE ROOT IS PRETTY BUT DEADLY
Perhaps you have some of this in your back yard—that knee-high plant in the shady areas with the delicate white flower. Because of the extremely dry weather we have been having this year, it is everywhere. I am referring to the plant known as “snake root”; the technical name is ageratine altissima. As picturesque as this plant looks, if eaten, it can be deadly for horses, cows, goats and even humans. Snake root has an interesting but grim history. While it was initially perceived by settlers as a remedy for snake bites—hence its name—it actually was responsible for hundreds of human deaths before someone was able to make the connection between this plant and what was then referred to as “milk fever” or “puking fever.” Snake root has a chemical ingredient known as tremetol that is very toxic—so toxic that if a cow eats snake root and then is milked, humans drinking that milk become extremely ill. By the same token, the meat of a cow that has eaten snake
root is tainted as well and could be deadly if ultimately consumed by humans. In the first half of the nineteenth century, as settlers were moving into the middle west, farmers in drought years, when the pastures had dried up, would allow their livestock to roam through the woods scrounging on whatever the livestock could find to eat. Snake root, which primarily grows in shaded areas, was plentiful in the woods and was readily consumed by cows in particular. Then, the cows would be milked, and humans became severely ill by consuming the tainted milk obtained from those cows. In fact, Abraham Lincoln’s mother is believed to have died from “milk fever.” Today, it is rare for a human to be exposed to this risk, but the risk continues for cows, horses and goats. If they do consume snake root and become ill with what is now generally
Oct. 12-16 Mon.: Liver and onions, whipped potatoes, lima beans, fruit cocktail, WW bread, milk. Tues.: Egg salad, tomato basil soup, carrot raisin salad, orange, WW bread, crackers, milk. Thurs.: Roast chicken, baked potato, green beans, pineapple upside down cake, WW bread, milk. Fri.: Ham, macaroni & cheese, cauliflower, salad, banana, roll, milk.
Grant (Continued from A1) $10,000 for losses. Q Meat and Poultry Capacity Program: Covers costs for operations and costs associated with facility improvements necessary to decrease or eliminate COVID-19 related slowdowns and mitigate capacity reductions. Businesses must have no more than 60 employees. Applicants are eligible to receive up to $25,000 for eligible expenses. “Since the beginning of the pandemic, our Department has worked closely with the
agriculture industry to understand and respond to the challenges they currently face,” Acting Director of IDOA, Jerry Costello, said in a press release. “I’m proud of the way Illinois’ farmers, small businesses and commodity groups came together to keep the food chain secure. These dollars enable farmers’ continuity of operations while providing our small meat and poultry plants the ability to make necessary improvements to expand animal throughput and capacity.”
Burgoo (Continued from A1) “A couple of the wives will show up, but generally it is just the guys who do most of the work,” Frost said. “It typically takes seven hours for it to cook down to the right consistency.” What is in burgoo? Better question is – what isn’t? Ingredients include: chuck roast, 10 whole (bones included) chickens per kettle, oxtail, potatoes, carrots, green beans, peas, corn, cabbage, water and spices. The spices are a longtime family secret that remains a secret to this day. “The spices we use has been a recipe handed down by the Allen Family of Win-
chester for four or five generations,” Frost said. “I have been trying to figure out what is in it but have had no luck. They just hand us this quart Ziploc bag of spices and we put them in there. Mark Allen is the one who makes it now for us, and he won’t give us the recipe either.” Kettle service will begin at 7 a.m. A one gallon container will be $25 if you bring your own containers or you can purchase a container for an additional $3. Proceeds will benefit the Odd Fellows Scholarship Fund. The Odd Fellows give out a $1,000 scholarship to a Winchester graduating senior each year.
Contest (Continued from A1) entered this contest and I was one of seven people chosen from across the state so I feel very honored and very lucky.” Not only would Outreach Community Center receive 50 packages of bacon, but Morris would receive 10 packages herself. But, there was a catch. “Because the contest was called ‘Pass the Bacon’ I had to pass along five packages of the bacon to five of my friends,” she said. “Then, I had to post a photo of myself giving it to my friends and post it to social media.” For Morris, it was a way to give back to the community, something she is passionate about. “When I was manager at Dollar General, I used to do
lots of donation drives,” she said. “Well, since I’m not there anymore, I don’t have that opportunity anymore so this is one way for me to give back to the community. Honestly, I didn’t even realize that I would receive any bacon out of the deal until I won and received the email – I thought it was all for the Outreach Center.” Outreach Community Center Director Marcia Mayor said any and all donations are always welcome and appreciated. “COVID-19 has affected a lot of people adversely so we are seeing many more people on a weekly basis than we were before it hit,” she said. “So, any extra donations we get are very much appreciated.”
Scott County Health Department Drive Through Flu Clinic referred to as “trembles,” they can display a variety of symptoms including lethargy, bloating and foaming of the mouth. In particular as to cows and horses, they sometimes develop an arched body posture, with the feet either very close together or very far apart. And death is a very clear possibility for any livestock that eats snake root. So if you care about your horses, and they are in that pasture behind the house, make sure they can’t nibble on that plant with the delicate, white flower. This will require going through the pasture and along the edges of the woods, mowing or

Hello Winchester, Nice weather for the past few weeks has a lot of people getting outside things ready for winter. Nice to see the sunshine. Condolences to the Pittman family for the loss of a loved one. Sorry to hear the sad news. Looks like we may have a lot of colors this fall to drive around and enjoy. The trees are beginning to show signs of a beautiful fall except for the raking and removal of the leaves afterward of course. That is not much fun.
A little humor to make one smile. There were two lines leading into heaven. Over one line was a sign that read, “Henpecked Husbands,” and there was no end in sight for the line. The other line had a sign that read, “Real He-Men” but only one little old man was standing there. St Peter walked over to the little gent and asked him why he was standing there. The little old man answered meekly, “Because my wife told me to.” Why does everyone at the doctor`s office ask how

Outdoor Truths: Gary Miller Bears are changing the ecosystem I can remember years ago thinking how neat it would be to have lots of bears in our area. I knew we had some, and every now and then, one would be spotted on camera, and it would make news. Even though I deer hunted within their roaming area, I never gave much thought as to whether they would bully my deer into the next county and take their turf. Boy was I wrong! My trail cam pictures have let me know there’s a new sheriff in town, he’s a little ornerier than the last one, and the town’s not big enough for both. It seems the deer that do come around now are a lot more afraid of the bears than they are the hunters. The ecosystem is about to change. The bears are not the first animal in my area to move in. The elk did a few years ago with the help of the local fish and wildlife agency’s moving van. Just a few years before that, turkey were in that
same van – each one of them released in the same area — the same area my bears want now. Even though we all can get along, there are going to be times when the pressure of living too close to one’s neighbor is going to test the resolve of the hospitality of each resident. The ecosystem is changing. What goes for fourlegged animals also goes for the two-legged ones. My area has changed over the past several years. Many people have left and as of late, many others have moved in. The faces have changed along with the traffic. And, the diversity is substantial. They have come from every part of the country and even from other countries. They bring their own needs for accommodations but also a positivity that has been lacking since the last economic downturn. As a lifelong resident I can bemoan the fact that I’m losing my turf to another gang.
I can bemoan longer l i n e s a n d slower traffic. But, as a Christian, I can thank God for bringing to me what I would normally have to go find: People! People who have needs and questions. People who are searching for authenticity and truth. People who will need to find hope when failure comes and life when it seems circumstances have stripped it away. People who need Jesus. The ecosystem is changing, and I like the change. ––––––––––––––––––– Q Gary has three books that are compilations of the articles he has written for nearly 15 years.

ometimes our reaction to bad events, and our inability to “get over” the event exacerbates the problem. We all have losses that hit us hard, whether the loss is something material, such as money, or something more personal, like a loved one. We should learn from our material losses so as not to repeat them, for instance, learning that it’s not wise to panic when the stock market is down and sell your stocks at a loss. And when the loss is something more serious, like losing a family member, we need to take time to grieve and process our feelings. Failing to do so may keep us from ever really getting over it. Sometimes the things we need to get over are things which caused us to get angry or resentful. We can harbor feelings of bitterness or desires for revenge for years, or even decades, which can be incapacitating and inhibit us from
getting on with our lives. We may not be able to forget the harm that was done to us, but forgiving the person who we believe wronged us is usually a good thing to do for our own emotional and spiritual wellbeing. Asking God to help us forgive the other person is often the only way to get over our bitterness. Life will go on whether we get over the bad experience or not. The real question is the quality of our life, and that may depend on our getting over it sooner rather than later. – Christopher Simon

good GROWING Keeping you growing with good ideas s University of Illinois Extension
Fall is here; not only does the calendar tell us that it is officially here, but our days are getting shorter, the temperatures are cooler, combines are rolling in the fields, mums decorate front porches, and the trees are starting to turn. As our summer activities in the garden wind down, there are some things to do to prepare for cooler temperatures. Perennials and Grasses Seed heads can be aesthetic during the winter months and can be a feed source for birds. Foliage can also help protect and insulate crowns which can help some plants in overwintering. Standing stems also help identify plant locations of late risers in the spring. Removing and cutting back foliage is only necessary in the fall when the plants suffered from foliar diseases. Diseased
plant debris should not be discarded in the compost pile as compost temperatures will not kill all pathogens. Fall is also a good time of year to consider dividing and replanting overgrown plants. When replanting, compost can be added to the hole to provide the plants with additional nutrients. Bulbs Tender corms, bulbs and roots such as dahlia, gladiola and canna lilies should be dug up and stored in a cool, dry place; this is a task that can easily be forgotten. Additionally, fall is time to plant hardy bulbs such as tulips, crocus and daffodils as these bulbs require a vernalization (cold) period to flower. Annuals Summer annual plantings should be removed and
cleaned out. Insects and diseases can overwinter on plant residues and can potentially carryover into the next growing season if environmental conditions are favorable. This also saves time in the spring when getting ready to plant new annuals. Soil in annual beds and pots can be improved through the addition of compost or composted manure. Pesticide Storage Pesticides used for your lawn and garden should be safely stored at temperatures between 40 and 100F; liquid fertilizers that freeze lose effectiveness. Storing in an uninsulated garage or storage shed may not maintain these temperatures. When storing chemicals, be sure to avoid storing them near heat, sparks, or open flames. Keep chemicals in a cool, well ventilated place

Luckily, we get a reset each year to improve our practices and try new ideas! Good Growing Tip: You can make your plants such as hibiscus last from year to year by bringing them indoors during the winter. Your hibiscus will require a nice, bright spot as it loves light. You should also inspect the plants for insects and clean them prior to moving them indoors.
