By DAVID CAMPHOUSE Scott County Times The Bluffs Market and Winchester Farmers Market will open for their season the first week of June. The Bluffs Market will start Tuesday, June 1, in the Bluffs Park and occur each Tuesday from 4 – 6 p.m. until the beginning of the school year. According to Bluffs Village President Linda Sapp, the market includes much more than just fresh produce. “It’s just called the Bluffs Market because we have more than just food,” Sapp said. “Of course, there is produce, but we also have baked goods, floral arrangements, flea market type things, T-shirts, kettle corn and other different things on different days.” In addition, Sapp said that each market features live music from Jacksonville’s Robert Sampson. “He’s very talented,” Sapp said. “You name it, and he can play it.” Several Tuesdays in June will also feature free food provided by Bluffs businesses. The village is paying each business to provide the food to residents free of charge. “The second Tuesday, Placke’s will be offering free hot dogs,” Sapp said. “The third Tuesday, Pokers will be offering free hamburgers, and the fourth Tuesday Bluejay will have free pizza, all sponsored by the village.” Sapp said additional food vendors are being sought for later in the season. “We’re hoping to get some food trucks to come in after June,” Sapp said. Residents interested in being a Bluffs Market vendor should contact the Bluffs Village Hall at 217-754-3033. There is no vendor fee. The Winchester Farmers Market will start Thursday, June 3, on Winchester’s square and occur each Thursday in June and July from 4 – 6 p.m. According to market vendor Loree Herring, the market and music in the park,

Winchester announces pool grand re-opening By DAVID CAMPHOUSE Scott County Times The City of Winchester announced Monday that the grand re-opening of the Memorial Swimming Pool in Winchester will occur May 29 at 10 a.m. at the swimming pool in Monument Park. The dedication ceremony will include acknowledgements of businesses and a ribbon cutting ceremony, with an open house to follow. According to Mayor Rex McIntire, the Memorial Swimming Pool holds an important place in Winchester’s history, and the renovation was important to the community’s quality of life. “It has a lot of history with it,” McIntire said. “Many businesspeople and civic-minded people invested a lot in the pool’s construction in the 1960s. A lot of us learned to swim there. It’s wonderful to extend the life of the pool for the next generation.” At the dedication, free ice cream bars and drum sticks will be made available until they run out. “The pool board members are going to treat everybody to ice cream as long as it lasts,” McIntire said. Following the dedication, the swimming pool will open at 11:30 a.m. for swimmers. Each person with a paid admission will complete a raffle ticket for a drawing later that day. Three individual passes will be drawn, and three punch cards and tumblers, compliments of engineering firm Benton & Associates, will be given away at 6 p.m. (See, RE-OPENING, A2)

Stumpf recognized as Two Rivers Junior High Principal of the Year By DAVID CAMPHOUSE Scott County Times Winchester Junior High Principal Andy Stumpf was recognized as the Two Rivers Regional Junior High Principal of the Year at the Tuesday, May 11, Winchester school board meeting. Stumpf was selected for the honor for his involvement with the Illinois Principals Association, his collaborative leadership style and his dedication to student learning. Stumpf was presented a plaque by Illinois Principals Association Regional Director Eric Stotts. The presentation had been delayed by COVID restrictions. Stumpf had previously been honored earlier in the school year, as the statewide Illinois Principals Association Junior High Principal of the Year during a schoolwide ceremony. In the business portion of the meeting, the board approved the tentative amended budget for the current year. The amended budget will be on display until a budget hearing June 15.

The amended budget reflects changes to the budget due to a large influx of pandemic-related federal dollars and other changes to the previously ratified fiscal year 2021 budget. Also approved was the District Consolidated Plan, which is a necessary step for the district to be eligible for many federal grants. A back to school plan was approved for the 2021-2022 school year. The plan remains subject to change pending further Centers for Disease Control, Illinois Department of Public Health and Illinois State Board of Education guidance. Board members approved renewing the district’s membership in the Illinois Elementary School Association and the Illinois High School Association. In addition, changes were finalized to the high school’s 2021-2022 handbook. A first reading of the district’s wellness policy and grade school handbook changes were conducted.

SCHD to start vaccinating children as young as 12 against COVID-19

By DAVID CAMPHOUSE Scott County Times As of May 12, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP), have all signed off on the use of the BioNTech Pfizer vaccine for use in adolescents ages 12 to 15 years old. The American Academy of Pediatrics reported that trials showed the PfizerBioNTech vaccine was 100-percent effective and presented no serious safety concerns in adolescents, leading the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to grant emergency use authorization (EUA) of the drug. The most common side effects in adolescents were pain at the injection site, tiredness, headache, chills, muscle pain, fever and joint pain, consistent with trials in older teens and adults. As a result of the approval, according to Scott County Health Department (SCHD) RN Meghan VanDeVelde, the health department will soon begin vaccinating adolescents as young as 12.

“As you know, it was fully approved for the 12-15 age group of kids to receive Pfizer,” VanDeVelde said. “So we are taking names for the Pfizer vaccine for the 12-17 age group so we can know how many doses to ask for to get that completed.” VanDeVelde said that vaccinations of the 12 to 15 age group could commence as soon as next week. “We are looking at doing that clinic towards the end of next week to allow parents and their children time to think about it and then to get in contact with us to get the child signed up,” VanDeVelde said. “And we’ll have time to get the number of vaccines that are needed.” Interest in vaccinations for the 12 to 15 age group has been strong, VanDeVelde said. “We’ve had more demand for this age group than we did for 16 and 17 year olds,” VanDeVelde said. “We’re close to 20 on the list already. We only had nine for the last age group.” SCHD has worked with Scott County schools to make parents aware of the Pfizer vaccine being made available. “We put it out through

Three common landscape shrubs you didn’t know were invasive

When we look at the current lists of plants that are deemed legally invasive by state and federal governments, we see species that were quite popular in the landscape in generations past. As we battle the current invasive species in our natural areas, there is a new generation of non-native shrubs that are currently quite popular in the home landscape which we are now seeing escape cultivation into the wild. Here are three shrubs that are recommended to avoid or remove. Privet: I haven’t grown much privet as most Ligustrum species are hardy to zone 6, which places the northern edge of most privet species south of my zone 5 garden. However, there are a few species such as Korean privet (Ligustrum ovalifolium) and common privet (Ligustrum vulgare) which are listed as being hardy up to zone 4. Privet certainly poses a problem in southern Illinois, and there are increasing reports of privet invading natural areas in central Illinois. Traditionally, privet has been used as an evergreen hedge. Homeowners that have this plant in their landscape often laud its stellar performance. Converse-

ly, landowners who work to eradicate escaped privet in natural areas curse this plant. Burning Bush: Based on my experience, it seems like everyone has burning bush (Euonymus alatus) planted somewhere in their yard. It is often used as a hedge or foundation planting and it offers bright red fall color. Burning bush seedlings can commonly be seen popping up in landscape beds and anywhere else nature may take them. As I was weeding near the downspout of my house this spring, I noticed all the little seedlings were burning bush. If this shrub is this prolific in my yard, imagine those that escape into natural areas. Japanese barberry: This is another very common landscape shrub. You may know Japanese barberry (Berberis thunbergii) by its purple-leaved forms such as “Crimson Pygmy” and the thorny nature of the stems. As I was walking along a wooded edge near my home, a green-leaved shrub stood out. Turns out it was Japanese barberry, only it had reverted to its normal green leaves. The only reason I figured it out was another escaped purple-leaved bar-

(Continued from A1) According to Herring, an array of locally grown and produced items can be found at the market. “Shoppers can find Uncle Bob’s Bug Spray, pickles and relishes, jams and jellies, pies, fresh vegetables

and lettuce and, later in the summer, blackberries.” Prospective vendors interested in selling products at the Winchester Farmers Market should contact Herring at 217320-1917. There is no vendor fee.

(Continued from A1) The board also approved the minutes of the April 13 regular board meeting and April 15 special board meeting. In addition, the May financial reports and payment of bills were approved. Following executive session, the board approved

filter equipment. The old filter building will house the chemical feeds and pool chemicals. The successful bidder for Phase I was Doyle Plumbing & Heating, of Jacksonville, at a bid of $174,418.26. That work was completed in 2020. Phase II included plans for a 100-bather bathhouse with restrooms and a concessions area. The original schedule called for Memorial Swimming Pool to close in early August 2020 to accommodate the contractor to start as soon as possible after the city maintenance crew demolished and removed the existing bathhouse. Construction could then begin in mid-August 2020. On July 1, 2020, the City awarded

the resignations of junior high science teacher Robin Varner, band teacher Jacob Schumacher and bus driver Norvin Adams. Finally, board members approved posting of the head cook stipend position for the 2021-2022 school year.

Phase II for $399,667 to Trotter General Contracting, Inc., of Industry, Ill. COVID-19 prevented the pool from opening at all in 2020. The closure sped the construction process, since city crews were able to remove the entire bathhouse earlier than scheduled. Then, the general contractor was able to start earlier than expected. The pool liner was approved for purchase on Aug. 5, 2020, from Natare, for $48,561.26. Natare provided material and labor to install the liner. City employees removed the original pool liner that was installed in 2005. For more information on the project please contact Mayor Rex McIntire at 217-742-3191.

Pool parties may be scheduled from 6:30 - 8:30 p.m. The pool improvement project was funded by a $335,000 Illinois Department of Natural Resources (IDNR) grant and $407,406.52 in local funds, for a total of $742,406.52 toward construction, audit and engineering. Because initial bids exceeded the original budget of $670,000, the city decided to do the project in two phases at the recommendation of Benton & Associates. Phase I included the construction of a split face concrete block (CMU) building and the necessary new

berry seedling a few feet away. Japanese barberry comes in many different shapes, sizes and colors. Often these are used in landscape beds or as an accent plant or as a screening plant. Good Growing Tip of the Week – Even though the above-mentioned plants are still completely legal to sell and grow in Illinois (as of spring 2021), there are lots of native alternatives. Inkberry holly (Ilex glabra) and Red Chokeberry (Aronia arbutifolia) are just a couple of examples. Check out the Good Growing blog for more detail on native shrubs at go.illinois.edu/GoodGrowing.

‘Mom’ may become known as ‘birth-person’ By BILL HOAGLAND Cori Bush is a US Congresswoman representing the First Congressional District in Missouri, which consists of the City of St. Louis and North St. Louis County. This is her first term. Generally she seems to be focused on promoting the concerns of her constituents as she should, but just a few days before Mother’s Day, she gave a speech in Congress, suggesting that “mothers” should henceforth be referred to as “birthpersons.” Are you willing to start referring to “mom” as “birthperson?” I didn’t think so. Sounds pretty unaffectionate, doesn’t it? But why stop there? Let’s pick a suitable new name for good old Dad as well. How about “seed-spreader?” Actually, that name would suggest that good old Dad is promiscuous. So maybe

that would not be acceptable to the politically correct crowd. Instead, how about simply calling him “the seeder?” And if you wanted to shorten that term of affection – as you would in going from “daddy” to “dad” – he could be called “seed.” And what to call the children? “Seedlings?” Finally, we have to come up with an appropriate new name for Grandpa. “Grandseeder” makes it sound as though grandpa is legendary for the wrong reasons and again, perhaps inappropriate; frankly, it is no more

Scott County Nursing Center residents enjoy activities Things have been busy lately at the Scott County Nursing Center. “We have been pretty busy here at the nursing home recently. We have added a monthly holiday tree to our facility that the residents enjoy decorating. We have also planted flowers,” Scott County Nursing Center activity director, Donna Daniel, said. “Earlier this month, we filled around 900 Easter eggs for the employee Easter egg

hunt. The residents had such a great time outside watching the employees hunt the eggs and enjoyed the weather. The residents even got involved by helping hide the eggs and told some staff where to hide them. In the next couple of weeks we will be painting rocks to put around the home. We are also going to try and make a volcano and set it off,” Daniels added. The nursing home is also working on having a veterans memorial wall for their vet-

eran residents. “We also have a butterfly project we are watching, so when the butterflies are ready we will release them outside.” “We are very excited for next month with National Nursing Home Week, and we are also pleased to have the CNA class here. We would like to thank the community, families, and everyone who donated Christmas items and Easter candy; it was greatly appreciated. Thank you and God Bless,” she said.

Outdoor Truths: Gary Miller

Sometimes it is not enough to walk by sight

There’s nothing like barreling down the lake in the spring or summer at five in the morning. The cool mist will wake up anyone. But it’s not really the air that is alarming, it’s the possibility of a big bass that is ready for breakfast – buzz bait style. To see the calm water come to life with a massive explosion is fishing at its finest. There is, however, a technique to this type of fishing. Most people set the hook when they see the bass strike. That is a big mistake. You just missed another one. The art to catching bass on a buzz bait is not to set the hook when you see the bass strike but to wait until you feel the tug. The time between the two may only be a second but it’s the difference between success and failure. It is a hard

discipline for some because we are so used to responding immediately to sight. It looks like a strike. It looks like I’ve got him. It looks like he’s on. But he’s not. Not until you feel the tug. This is a great lesson for life. Most of the time, we live our lives according to what we see. And we react accordingly. We think whatever the circumstances look like, that is what they must be. If it looks hopeless, it must be. If it looks like the end, it must be. If it looks like there is no way out, there must not be. And we react accordingly. There is, however, a mechanism that God has placed within us. It’s a tug. It’s the voice of God saying, don’t walk by sight, but by faith. It is him saying don’t ever count the situation hope-

less until I have b e e n added to the equation. It is him saying, no matter how bleak the circumstance is, I will have the last word. Friend don’t set the hook on your circumstances at the first sight of trouble. Wait on the tug of God and he will turn every situation into one that is worth keeping. ––––––––––––––––––– Q Gary has three books that are compilations of the articles he has written for nearly 15 years.

n most areas of life it is demonstrably better to be an optimist than a pessimist, especially when the outcome of our efforts is not assured, such as job interviews and athletic competitions. But there are times when it is better to be pessimistic. That is, always looking on the bright side can blind us to the real dangers we might face. There is a type of defensive pessimism which is attuned to what might go wrong or be dangerous and being naively optimistic can cause us to overlook these dangers. The optimist is also prone to fighting losing battles too long and rushing headlong into dangerous situations. Optimism and pessimism are thus more than just outlooks on life but are best viewed as useful tools for dealing with life. When you are faced with a challenge, it is best to be

optimistic and believe you are up to the challenge. But when faced with a potentially dangerous situation, it might be best to consider the ways in which things can go wrong. Likewise, when you are fighting a losing battle, sometimes it is best to recognize that fact and to bow out or surrender rather than continuing to lose time, money, and resources on a struggle you cannot win. “Give careful thought to the paths for your feet and be steadfast in all your ways.” Proverbs 4:26 NIV – Christopher Simon

ACTIVITIES

Horoscopes ARIES Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, altruism is a noble trait, but remember to also devote some time to your own interests. There is a way to find a balance between all of your actions.

VIRGO Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, if each day seems like a mental marathon, then you definitely need to find some “me” time to unwind and disconnect. Schedule time each day to devote to yourself.

AQUARIUS Jan 21/Feb 18 Big changes are in store for you this week, Aquarius. You could get the news that you have been waiting for. This may mean you will have to quickly rise to action.

TAURUS Apr 21/May 21 Travel plans may be on your mind, Taurus. Weigh all of the pros and cons of traveling before purchasing your plane ticket or booking that hotel.

LIBRA Sept 23/Oct 23 It may seem productive to look at the world through rose-colored glasses, Libra. However, repeatedly guarding others from anything unpleasant can be a disservice.

PISCES Feb 19/Mar 20 Pisces, while others are taking in the scenery this week, you are getting down to business. This can set you on a productive path.

GEMINI May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, when opportunities spring up sometime this week, you may need to grab that golden ring quickly or it is bound to pass you by in a flash. Then regrets may sink in.

SCORPIO Oct 24/Nov 22 Continue to stay on top of all the nuts and bolts of your daily life, Scorpio. You have been a champ at managing schedules and deadlines for yourself and others.

CANCER Jun 22/Jul 22 It is easy to miss the forest for the trees, Cancer. Making decisions based on one detail will not do you justice. You have to look at the bigger picture before making a decision.

SAGITTARIUS Nov 23/Dec 21 Health news may bring a scare, Sagittarius. If anyone can whittle down the facts and get on a solid course, it is you. You’ll get through this challenge.

LEO Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, after a few amendments to your plan, you will have some good options to go on. Scorpio can give a look as well and offer some advice on how to proceed this week.

CAPRICORN Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn, it is time to start looking for new hobbies to pass the time, especially if you’ve been spending a lot of time at home. You could transition into a new career.

FAMOUS BIRTHDAYS MAY 16 Megan Fox, Actress (35) MAY 17 Bob Saget, Actor (65) MAY 18 Jack Johnson, Singer (46) MAY 19 Kevin Garnett, Athlete (45) MAY 20 Rachael Platten, Singer (40) MAY 21 Gotye, Singer (41) MAY 22 Julian Edelman, Athlete (35)
