Effort to create EMS special service area continues By DAVID CAMPHOUSE Scott County Times After a two-year hiatus, the discussion of creating an EMS special service area (SSA) is scheduled to come back on the Scott County commissioners’ agenda Monday, May 3 at 3 p.m. According to EMS board member Virginia Moss, the Winchester EMS board is poised to begin anew the process of creating a special service area to fund and administer Winchester EMS. Moss contends the special service area is badly needed by the community to ensure that the ambulance service is able to continue serving Winchester and Scott County residents. Currently, Moss said, Winchester EMS is dependent on volunteers and supported financially by funding it receives from bills it charges residents, insurance companies and Medicaid/Medicare for ambulance calls. Demand for the ambulance service, Moss said, continues to grow in Scott County, while available staff to man the ambulances dwindles.

“Use of the ambulance service has gone up dramatically,” Moss said. “There have already been 175 calls this year, and April isn’t even over yet.” Moss said the days of being able to run a volunteer ambulance service are over.

service, but the matter of funding the ambulance service with property tax dollars should be left to the voters. “I’m not against the EMS,” Hatcher said. “We need the ambulance service. The people should get a chance to vote on it.

"There have already been 175 calls this year, and April isn’t even over yet."

Virginia Moss EMS board member “We’ve always been a volunteer service,” Moss said. “If you talk to any small area ambulance service, you can’t find volunteers.” Creating a special service area would allow Winchester EMS to collect property tax dollars and to hire a paid, professional staff of EMTs. “We’re not part of the city,” Moss said. “We’re not part of the county. We’re a standalone agency.” According to County Commissioner Dan Hatcher, Scott County needs the ambulance

I don’t want that responsibility. That should be the responsibility of the voters.” The creation of the special service area, Hatcher said, would require the county to raise taxes to support Winchester EMS. “We would have to increase taxes within three years,” Hatcher said. “They’re wanting $260,000 a year. We haven’t raised taxes in Scott County since 1973.” Moss remains hopeful that Scott County residents will recognize the value of maintaining the ambulance service within the

ation of the special service area was critical if Winchester EMS is to continue serving the county. “If people want an ambulance service in Scott County, we need to find a way to pay for it,” Moss said. “If we don’t do this, we’ll have to shut down.”

Long awaited library grant officially awarded By DAVID CAMPHOUSE Scott County Times According to a letter received last week by Winchester Library Board President Merrilyn Fedder from the Illinois Secretary of State and State Librarian Jesse White, the Winchester Public Library has been awarded $188,252 to increase the size of the library by nearly 20 percent. According to Fedder, while the long-planned expansion of the library was expected to become a reality eventually, she had been reluctant to share too much about the project until the award was made official. “We really hadn’t done a lot publicly until we got this letter,” Fedder said. According to Winchester City Attorney John Paul Coonrod, the total project budget for the library addition amounts to $310,250. $188,252 of the project’s funding was recently awarded by the Secretary of State’s Illinois State Library Public Library Construction Grant program grant. The additional $122,200 of the project is made up by fundraising efforts of the library and $50,000 loan from the city. “Our goal is to pay the city back as soon as possible,” Fedder said. Coonrod said that the library board has been thinking about the project since 2012 and squirreling money away as often as possible. “The library has been saving money for a decade,” Coonrod said. The expansion, Coonrod said, has long been needed by the library in order to better deliver programming to Winchester’s young people. “It will be just under a 20-percent expansion of the current footprint of the building,” Coonrod said. “The space will be used as a youth activity space and for books. The library is really pretty active, with a lot of people helping. They’re busy and very focused on the children.” According to Coonrod, the current section of the library devoted to children’s and youth activities is undersized for the amount of attendees that typically take part in library activities. “In the space they have for kids’ programs, you’ll get 25 to 30 kids in there and they’re

packed to the gills,” Coonrod said. Winchester Public Library Director Darlene Smith agreed with Coonrod that the addition will allow the library to better serve the area’s young people. “We’ll be able to offer more for our juniorhigh- and high-school-age users,” Smith said. “We’ll have more space and more books.” After years of planning and fundraising, Smith said that she and the library board are eager for the construction project to finally kick off.

The latest COVID-19 data released by the Scott County Health Department shows the number of active cases holding steady from last week at three cases. The number of individuals in quarantine from close contact with someone with COVID-19 has climbed from two last week to 11 this week.

ike in many other rural communities, Scott County has seen COVID-19 vaccine availability outpace demand on the part of the residents. “Vaccines have slowed down, and it’s been hard to fill appointment slots, which is good because that means we have reached the population of those who have wanted the vaccine,” Scott County Health Department (SCHD) RN Meghan VanDeVelde said, putting a positive spin on the lack of demand for vaccinations. SCHD, according to VanDeVelde, continues to work its way through the list of people on the department’s list for first or second vaccination shots. “We did our last big second dose clinic last week, which was around 120 people,” VanDeVelde said. “We have a clinic this Thursday, the 29th, of around 30 people and that’s a mix of first and second doses.” In addition, VanDeVelde said SCHD has started to receive doses of the Pfizer vaccine to administer to 16 and 17 year olds who want to be vaccinated. Pfizer is the only vaccine labeled for use in adults under 18. Because the Pfizer vaccine requires colder storage temperatures than the other vaccines, most rural health departments do not have ready access to it. Scott County was able to access Pfizer vaccine for use in young adults through a cooperative agreement with the Morgan County Health Department. “I was able to receive our doses of Pfizer today that was redistributed to us from Morgan County, and we are set to administer those on Friday as well,” VanDeVelde said. According to VanDeVelde, federal agencies have recommended the continued use of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine, the use of which had been suspended after a handful of fatal blood clot reactions in an extremely limited number of patients who had received the vaccine. The vaccine has been determined to be safe to use and will continue being used in Scott County. “The CDC/FDA have un-paused the administration on the Johnson & Johnson vaccine, and we have a handful of folks to call and reschedule for that,” VanDeVelde said. “So we are going to get those doses administered next week.” VanDeVelde said that while demand for vaccines has lightened among residents, SCHD will remain stocked with the vaccine, ready for residents who wish to be vaccinated.

Back row, left to right: Grant Frost, Eli Crews, Nathan Hoots and Adam Ehlenbeck. The prom will be held May 8, and the theme is Enchanted Garden.

Vaccinating (Continued from A1) “We currently have 90 doses of Johnson & Johnson and around 400 of Moderna,” VanDeVelde said. “Both are really easy to store, Moderna in the freezer and J&J in the refrigerator, so if there are people still on the fence on whether they want to get the vaccine and still thinking it over,

we will have doses available for a good while.” Residents experiencing COVID-19 symptoms are encouraged to get tested at the health department. “Testing remains Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, by call ahead appointments,” VanDeVelde said.

Library (Continued from A1) “We’re getting kind of excited,” Smith said. While completing the construction project in a timely manner is a high priority, special attention will be paid to ensuring historical and aesthetic accuracy in the addition. “It’s a Carnegie Library, so there is some architectural and historical value,” Coonrod said. “We want everything to look up to snuff.” Fedder said that adhering to historic preservation guidelines has been paramount throughout the planning process. “We are on the historic registry,” Fedder said. “Our plan had to go through the historic preservation agency. The new light fixtures and windows will match what is already here.” Since approval has finally been received from the state, the library plans to move quickly into the construction phase of the project. “The plans are to start construction by

June if we can,” Smith said. “We’re meeting with the engineer regularly. The city will be letting bids soon. Once we start, we have 140 days to break ground from when the bid is let.” Every effort, according to Smith, will be made to keep the library open during construction, however certain phases of the project may cause the library to close for a short amount of time. The first fundraising effort to be rolled out by the library in support of the expansion is the sale of memorial bricks to be displayed in front of the library. “We’re selling the bricks for $200 each,” Fedder said. “They will be installed by Tipsord’s Landscaping around the bench. We’re trying to keep as much of the work as we can local.” Fedder said that she was optimistic about the library’s ability to raise the remaining funds needed for the expansion. “It’s for the children,” Fedder said. “We’ve found that Winchester always comes through.”

Pentagon ordered to disclose UFO info By BILL HOAGLAND On Feb. 21 of this year, a pilot on an American Airline flight in New Mexico reported seeing a silver “torpedo” object flying above his plane and at a much greater speed in the same direction. There is simply no earthly explanation for this sighting, but it is not the only UFO or Unidentified Aerial Phenomena in recent months. There have been others, including objects that exhibit no exhaust and that appear to come to a complete stop in the sky and then zoom off at incredible speeds or that seemingly disappear into the ocean. When questioned about these ongoing observations, the Pentagon has stated they cannot explain these sightings, but they do now acknowledge that they are real and not the result of someone’s imagination. For years, some folks have felt that the Pentagon, and for that matter, the entire US government, has not been candid about these sightings and that they know much more than they are revealing. If you are one of those folks, it may interest you to know that all intelligence agencies of the US government are now required to make a full disclosure to the public of everything they know about UFOs on or before June 25. This is by virtue of the Intelligence Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2021, which was enacted in late December 2020. John Ratcliffe was the Director of National Intelligence when this legislation was enacted. In an interview conducted on Feb. 20 of this year, Rat-

cliffe was asked what the public can expect to be revealed when the government responds to this reporting requirement. He said that there have been “quite a few” sightings that cannot be logically explained and that these sightings have been occurring “all over the world.” He went on to say that some of these sightings were corroborated by multiple sources, both human and electronic at the same time, thereby eliminating any doubt that they did in fact occur. Apparently, the information to be released still must first be declassified. That suggests that to the extent these sightings may involve something China and Russia are believed to be responsible for, that information will not be declassified and released. But if the information does not appear to involve Russia or China, the Pentagon and the rest of the intelligence agencies are supposed to reveal what they know, and it could be unsettling. Ratcliffe suggests that the public will be surprised by the sheer volume of unexplainable sightings that have not been previously revealed. As I am writing this column on April 16, a video taken by military personnel was released yesterday to the public purporting to show a “swarm” of triangular-shaped UFOs circling and “harassing” a

US Navy vessel just off the California coast. This sighting has also been confirmed to be the “real deal.” As the government declassifies the UFO information on hand, here is my question: what if they really do have something more than a bunch of inexplicable “sightings” on radar? What if they actually have in their possession debris from a crashed spaceship, as suggested by journalist Ben Mezrich, in his book, “The 37th Parallel”? If the government has something of a tangible nature in their possession — such as debris from a crashed spaceship — leaving no doubt that we are not “alone,” should it be declassified and disclosed? In other words, if such material exists, is the world ready for confirmation that we are not “alone?” When you consider the ramifications of such a disclosure, maybe not. Stay tuned. June 25 is only two months away. ––––––––––––––––––– Q Bill Hoagland has practiced law in Alton for more than 50 years, but he has spent more than 70 years hunting, fishing and generally being in the great outdoors.

Outdoor Truths: Gary Miller

Even rain, wind have their silver linings I have this love-hate relationship with the wind and rain. I don’t ever remember getting excited to hunt in the rain or during high winds. I have done both several times. And of course, sometimes you get out there when it’s calm, and then you end up finding yourself in these aforementioned circumstances. Then, you can either hunker down, hang on to a tree or make a mad dash for the truck. Again, I’ve done all of these. These are the times I hate the wind and rain. Other times, I love when there’s wind blowing. I can hide my movements so much easier, and the sound is deadened as well. A light rain is also good, especially if I’m making my way through the woods. In both situations, if I change my hunting technique from sitting still to moving, I can get closer to my game. Actually, some of my best stories of harvests involve wind and rain. I can remember arrowing a nice buck

“Like” Us

because I was able to walk and crawl within 25 yards of where it was eating. I can also remember shooting a big tom only 15 yards away because the wind hid my every move as I eased my way through the woods. There are plenty of other stories as well. When I really think about it, my best and most successful hunting stories involve wind, rain and getting closer to an animal than I ever had before. Allegorically, I think about the wind and rain that comes in my personal life – you know, the pains of life. Without a doubt, I know I have never wanted these things. And if I knew they were coming, I never got excited about their presence. Whatever they brought was always uncomfortable no matter how much I tried to prepare for them. And most of the time, I found myself just hanging on while these winds were whipping me from side to side, instead of succeeding in any worthwhile endeavor. But what I have noticed dur-

ing these times is this: T h e y h a v e allowed me to get closer to God. T h e y have gotten me out of my comfortable spiritual seat that has produced minimal success and have caused me to get down and stalk a giant spiritual truth that God wants me to have but can only give me in this way. Are you facing some wind and rain right now? Are you just hanging on? Maybe it’s time to get down out of the stand and start pursuing God more intently. It might amaze you how close you will get. ––––––––––––––––––– Q Gary has three books that are compilations of the articles he has written for nearly 15 years.

Tree buffer program for Illinois pig farmers relaunches Pig farmers in Illinois have the opportunity to take part in a tree buffer cost-share program. The Illinois Pork Producers Association (IPPA) is offering this incentive for farmers to implement fresh landscaping on their pig farms. Pig farmers from across the state have already utilized this program in the past years. “Tree buffers are just one of the current best management practices that pig farmers are embracing to benefit the environment. We are proud to offer these cost-share opportunities to progressive pig farmers who understand the importance of stewardship for our future generations,” Jennifer Tirey, executive director of IPPA, said. A buffer is an area of trees that are strategically placed to provide a windbreak, recycle clean air and provide curb appeal to a landscape. This cost-share program is offered to Illinois pig farmers on a firstcome-first-serve basis. Funding aids with the purchase of trees and shrubs, as well as design and tree placement. IPPA will

match up to $2,500 of the cost. Ted Funk, an environmental engineer for IPPA funded in part by the Illinois Soybean Association Checkoff Program, provides his talents of research and planning to benefit the farmer. A local Extension educator may also play a role by suggesting the best types of trees for the desired location. This group effort is to ensure the farmer has all the right tools they need to create a useful tree buffer. “It’s exciting to work with pork producers who are committed to making their farms look great by using some strategic landscaping vegetation. I’m pleased to see the continuing interest of Illinois commodity groups in helping make healthy, attractive communities,” Funk said. Farmers who are interested in this program may download the application at ilpork.com and return to IPPA by June 15. The website also provides an interactive map of farms that have previously utilized this grant program and pictures of their progress.

LaHood makes statement on 2020 census apportionment results Congressman Darin LaHood (IL-18) made the following statement after the Census Bureau released the 2020 Census Apportionment Results. “It is disappointing, but unfortunately not surprising that Illinois will lose a Congressional seat following the 2020 Census Apportionment. For years, poor policymaking and fiscal mismanagement by Democrats in Springfield has led to some of the highest taxes in America and made Illi-

nois less competitive. As a result, many Illinoisans have made their voices heard with their feet and left for other states that are more business and tax friendly. “As redistricting moves forward, it is now critical

that Governor Pritzker and Democrats in Springfield stand by their word to support an independent process. Illinoisans do not want a process that allows politicians to pick their own voters.”

“Like newborn babies, crave pure spiritual milk, so that by it you may grow up in your salvation, now that you have tasted that the Lord is good.” 1 Peter 2:2-3 NIV

ife is a series of stages, each of which builds on the previous stages: birth, infancy, youth, adolescence, adulthood, etc. One of the great ironies of life is that when we have finally figured out or mastered each stage, it is usually over and we are onto the next stage, with its own challenges which we must figure out once again. Children must learn to walk before they can run, and adults must learn to navigate the many challenges of living well before they can handle the challenges of senescence or declining health that comes with advanced age. In our youth we are growing and developing, but once we get to a certain point it is more accurate to say that we are aging. This does not mean that we cannot continue to grow in other ways. We may begin to decline physically in our thirties

and forties and yet still be learning new skills and developing abilities into our seventies and eighties. There is more to life than physical development. We should develop our mental, emotional, and spiritual selves as well as our physical selves. And even as our physical selves decline, we often find that we continue to grow spiritually, trusting in God and developing the spiritual tools to meet our next stage of life, and even preparing for the afterlife. –Christopher Simon

ACTIVITIES

Horoscopes ARIES Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, you have a unique perspective, and sometimes you appear uninterested in the opinions of others. But this week it is best to be humble and accept other thoughts.

VIRGO Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, even though it can be risky to express your true feelings, especially when you go against popular opinion, don’t shy away from being true to yourself.

TAURUS Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, you routinely put caring for others ahead of caring for yourself. This compassion is commendable, but you can’t offer help if you aren’t in top form.

LIBRA Sept 23/Oct 23 Your head is pushing you in a practical direction, Libra. Yet your heart wants you to go a different way. Try to find a balance between both scenarios.

GEMINI May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, let others bring up issues with you rather than prying. You willingness to lend an ear is wellknown, and others will come to you on their own.

SCORPIO Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, others are ready and willing to offer advice if they sense you need it. While you can be open to suggestions, don’t follow others’ dreams if they aren’t your own.

CANCER Jun 22/Jul 22 It may be tempting to slack off when supervisors are not looking, Cancer. However, a lack of discipline now may have a trickle-down effect in the future. Stay focused.

SAGITTARIUS Nov 23/Dec 21 You may be conflicted about telling someone you need a little personal space, Sagittarius. But it’s not good to suffer through situations that make you unhappy.

LEO Jul 23/Aug 23 You may not be sure if you should pursue an opportunity that is before you, Leo. Consider your skills and talents and be honest with what you are capable of accomplishing.

CAPRICORN Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn, even though you cannot please everyone, you can do what is necessary to make yourself happy. Make this your primary goal this week.

AQUARIUS Jan 21/Feb 18 Aquarius, people may misunderstand your intentions when you start a new project. You don’t have to please everyone right now. The end result will be met with positive responses. PISCES Feb 19/Mar 20 Moving on from an emotional situation can be taxing, Pisces. But it may be necessary right now and could make you stronger in the long run.
