Memorial Swimming Pool Renovation work continues at Rural reopens in Winchester By DAVID CAMPHOUSE Scott County Times The City of Winchester held a grand reopening ceremony for the city’s Memorial Swimming Pool Saturday morning in Monument Park. Several local officials and Illinois State Senator Steve McClure were on hand to celebrate the reopening, following a year of construction to build

a new bathhouse and renovate the swimming pool. Many of the officials who spoke at the reopening ceremony noted the importance of the pool to the community. Reggie Benton, of Benton and Associates, the engineering firm which oversaw the pool construction project, complimented Winchester’s city government for recognizing the importance of the pool

and for investing in the pool’s future. “The pool means a lot to the community,” Benton said. “I applaud the city council for voting to go forward with the grant.” Benton went on to state that the pool is also an important tool to educate young people how to swim and practice safe habits around bodies of water.

Colin Kuchy spent Monday using a circular saw and a hammer to remove unsound floor joists from the first floor of 21 South Main Street in Winchester. Colin and Jackie Kuchy have been renovating the structure since they purchased it in February. The building is the future site of Rural Cyclery, a business which will be a combination bike shop and café. Significant renovation work has delayed the opening of the business, which the couple had hoped to have open by May.

New legislative maps await governor’s signature but not a done deal By BETH ZUMWALT Scott County Times Scott County Republican legislators Rep. C.D. Davidsmeyer and Sen. Steve McClure may find themselves representing new districts if Gov. J.B. Pritzker signs off on a proposed redistricting map. The new districting would mean Scott County would be represented by Rep. Amy Elik and Sen. Jil Tracy, also both Republicans. But, the matter is far from over. Both Davidsmeyer and McClure expect the map to be challenged in court for several reasons, the most likely of which is the source of data used in drawing the map. Traditionally, the maps are drawn using data collected from the U.S. Census. Both are done every 10 years. But with last year’s pandemic, the census date has been delayed and will not be available until late summer. The remapping committee then diverted to data from the American Community Survey, (ACS). McClure alleges the data from the ACS is less reliable. “They have used the ACS which is really a survey more than a census,” McClure said. “The original data from the American Community Survey said we would lose two senate seats when in fact we only are only losing one. That’s a big deal.” (See, LEGISLATIVE, A8)

The proposed map, highlighted in dark green, shows how districting in Scott County would change should Gov. Pritzker sign off on the legislation. Scott's district has not changed, just the legislators who represented it. The redistricting map passed by both the Illinois Senate and House of Representatives is setting on the governor’s desk awaiting passage or veto.

olin and Jackie Kuchy continue to overhaul 21 South Main Street in Winchester, the building which will eventually house the couple’s café/bike shop, Rural Cyclery. When the Kuchys purchased the building in February, they had hoped to have their business up and running by May, but the scope of the renovation work on the building has delayed the business opening. “The building is 130 years old,” Colin Kuchy said. “You never know what you’re going to find.” While there is much work yet to do, significant progress has been made on the structure since the Kuchys started work on the building in the winter. According to Colin, the interior tuckpointing is complete and much of the exterior walls are tuckpointed, as well. In addition, there are new windows on the north and east faces of the building. Colin spent much of Memorial Day doing demolition work on the first floor of the building. “We’re tearing out the floor and are going to put down concrete,” he said. “The tuckpointing inside is done, and outside it’s about 75 percent complete. We had to tear down some of the back wall and rebuild it to make it solid again.” While the work to renovate the building is ongoing and evolving, the Kuchys have a clear vision of what they want Rural Cyclery to be once it is open for business. “One side will be coffee, regional craft beers and probably light pastries,” Colin said. “One window on the alley will be the drive-thru window. We’ve asked the city about the possibility of making the alley one-way. There will be access in the rear of the building to the beer garden.” Opposite the café will be a space dedicated to bike sales and service. Colin said that the business has already arranged to be a licensed dealer for one of the country’s most reputable bike manufacturers. “We are set up as a dealer,” he said. “We’re not quite ready to announce which brand, but it’s one of the top four brands in the U.S.” According to Colin, the top four brands are Trek, Specialized, Cannondale and Giant. Because of the complex nature of the renovation, Colin refrained from targeting a new grand opening date for the business. “We hope to get it open as soon as possible,” he said. “We learned to look at things as they come and not necessarily put a date on things.”

COVID exposure closes library for two weeks; vaccinations continue at SCHD

By DAVID CAMPHOUSE Scott County Times Winchester Public Library Director Darlene Smith announced Monday that, because of COVID-19 exposure, the library will be closed for the next two weeks. “It’ll be two weeks before we open back up,” Smith said on Monday. “We will open back up Monday, June 14.” Scott County Health Department (SCHD) RN Meghan VanDeVelde reported that the library’s closure was brought on by a single COVID-19 case. The library, VanDeVelde said, will use the two week closure to sanitize the facility. “Just one isolated case associated with that,” VanDeVelde said. “They are just being cautious, so they closed for two weeks to ensure nothing else transpired from that end and to make sure all is clean and sanitary for the public again.” All library programming scheduled for the next two weeks, Smith said, will be postponed until June 14 or after. “The summer reading program will be starting on the 14th,” Smith said. “The book club meeting date will be changed from the seventh to the 14th. The other main thing that is changing is the story hour that was scheduled for Wednesday, the ninth, will be postponed a week. That will be the only other thing.” According to Smith, the COVID related closure is a major disappointment, coming just as many public events and businesses are opening up with fewer restrictions. “We just opened back up May first after being closed for four months,” Smith said. “It comes as a little bit of a jolt. It’s a crazy world. It could be worse. I guess we’ll get through this, too.” VanDeVelde stated Monday that the department’s vaccinations of 12- to 15-yearolds with the Pfizer vaccine are scheduled for this Wednesday. The general public’s interest in being vaccinated, VanDeVelde said, is sparse at

The latest data released by the Scott County Health Department shows no change in the number of active COVID19 cases in the county since last week. Five known residents currently have the disease. In addition, three residents are in quarantine after coming in close contact with someone with COVID-19. The Winchester Public Library announced Monday that it will be shut down for two weeks as a precaution, after the library was exposed to COVID-19. The library building will remain closed to allow for cleaning and sanitation, and all library programs will be postponed until the library reopens on June 14.

present. However, the long shelf lives of the Moderna and Johnson & Johnson vaccines allow SCHD to keep the vaccines on hand for Scott County residents who may be on the fence about receiving a COVID-19 vaccination. “Not much new interest in vaccines really – just maybe a few calls that come in each week with somebody adding their name to the list,” VanDeVelde said. “Thankfully, the good thing with Moderna and Johnson & Johnson is that they’re easily stored, so we will be able to offer it to those folks who are still mulling it over.”

Memorial Day not a day of melancholy but of remembrance

Wahl’s third-grade class welcomes books Erin Wahl’s third grade at Bluffs School learned all about beef during the month of May. Their favorite activity was the Rumination Navigation, where they learned about how a cow’s digestive process worked. Some students thought it was “so cool,” while others thought it was “gross,” but everyone enjoyed it. The class expressed gratitude to the Pike-Scott Farm Bureau, Two Rivers Farm Bureau Foundation and ADM Cares for making it possible to have Ag in the Classroom this year and for providing them with a “bushel of books.”

What can we expect from government UFO disclosures By BILL HOAGLAND I wrote a column recently about the fact that the US government, including the various intelligence agencies working on behalf of the US government, must disclose to Congress and presumably to the public everything in their possession regarding the presence of UFOs – now referred to as Unidentified Aerial Phenomena – in our atmosphere. These disclosures must be made on or before June 25. The only disclosures that do not have to be made are those that must remain classified for current national security reasons—meaning situations in which China, Russia or some other earthly adversary may be potentially involved. Maybe it is my imagination, but it seems as if every few days now, a new UFO sighting is declassified and released to the public. Just in the past several weeks, we have learned the following: Four Navy pilots personally saw a UFO on the surface of the ocean, offshore from San Diego, hovering and stirring up the

surface of the water; Ryan Graves, another Navy pilot, revealed that he saw a UFO almost on a daily basis for two years in a restricted air space off the Virginia coast; and David Fravor, another Navy pilot, while in flight saw a UFO disappear into thin air. We have also seen videos of a UFO diving into the ocean and a swarm of UFOs “harassing” a Navy ship near the California shoreline recently. You have to wonder if the government, by slowly leaking these episodes to the public, is “softening us up” for some kind of major disclosure—something more than just some ill-defined lights streaking across a radar screen. I am suggesting something perhaps as tangible as wreckage from an alien spacecraft or (gulp!) an alien body or two. That would definitely “change the landscape.” As to what the government knows, I keep coming back to that interview between President Obama and Jimmy Kimmel on March 12, 2015, on Kimmel’s show, when Kimmel

Bluffs schools name students of the month

persisted in asking Obama what, as president, he learned about UFOs. After joking around and trying to avoid answering, Obama in a serious tone said, “I can’t reveal anything.” If there were nothing to reveal, he would have said so. His response and his demeanor at the time suggests that there is something significant and tangible to reveal— presumably something more than just unidentified lights in the sky. Let’s just assume for a minute that the government is preparing to reveal something much more tangible than lights in the sky. If that were to happen, it might be the most significant event in our lifetime. It would also confirm that the creatures responsible for these UFOs know much more about us

than we know about them. And consider this: think of all the people who over the years were ridiculed because they revealed that they had a personal UFO experience — even as simple as seeing a UFO overhead — that they reluctantly disclosed to others. We would certainly have a lot of apologizing to do, wouldn’t we? Stay tuned. June 25 is not that far 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.

Memorial Day has always symbolized more than its original purpose. It is supposed to allow us to reflect on the lives of those who died while serving in the armed forces in the United States. We would do well to both remember that and to take a moment to actually do it in some fashion. I, personally, do not believe this is meant to be a somber day whereby one cannot enjoy all that the long weekend has to offer, but that we remember the price that was paid which gives us the freedom to have all of this fun. I think those who died defending freedom would delight in a sense of satisfaction in knowing that Americans feel secure on this day. This day has also always marked the beginning of summer. As a youngster, this was the day the public swimming pool opened. It was a day for baseball, barbeque and bicycles. It was the time my momma unpacked the summer clothes and packed up the winter ones. (I can still remember opening those bags of clothes as if I were getting something new.) And of course, perhaps the most important marker that Memorial Day provided was knowing that school was officially out for the summer. The name Memorial Day really does fit. It is a day of lots of remembrances, but because of this, we must be cautious. Over the years monuments and markers have been built just to keep us from forgetting those who gave their lives in order that we might enjoy ours. Without these, we might lose focus on the real purpose of this day. We

moments when it seemed that the worst had come. We have to remember these times and the best way to do that is by building these monuments. We learned this in the Bible. God was always telling his people to build an altar or to stack up stones, or even to write something down. It was mainly for one simple reason – so they would not forget; so that each time they passed by these monuments, they would remember how God had delivered them or provided for them in a difficult time. We too would be wise to do the same. Perhaps you are going through a time right now where it seems there is no way out. It may look as if the worst has come, or the end is near. It may seem, as it did to Moses, that you have an enemy that is behind you and a vast sea in front of you. Remember, just as God made a way before, he will make a way now. But this time, after he has parted your Red Sea, build a monument so you and others will remember the next time you think victory will never come. ––––––––––––––––––– Q Gary has three books that are compilations of the articles he has written for nearly 15 years.

nger is an insidious thing. It usually starts small, with some minor irritation or a slight bruising of our ego and then it grows insidiously into an obsession that we just cannot get over. Maybe someone is playing their music too loud or they have said something which bothers us, and instead of asking them to turn it down or telling them they hurt our feelings, we stew in it. And the minor irritation of the loud music or the thoughtless remark grows into something resembling rancor, or even rage. How should we deal with this? The Biblical advice is to “be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry.” (James 1:19) By asking the person who offended us what is going on, and really listening to them, we can often resolve the issue peacefully. Perhaps we misunderstood them, and by being slow to anger, we often find that the anger dissipates on its own.

Dealing with your anger while it is in its incipient stage is good advice, because then you can treat it as something minor. At that point you can ask nicely if they can turn the music down, whereas if you wait too long and the anger grows, you are likely to explode and blow the thing out of proportion. But if it really is something minor, you might be better off waiting to see if your anger passes. Dealing maturely with anger often comes down to emotional intelligence and self-control. Even when you are justifiably angry, it is always best to keep your temper under control. –Christopher Simon

Pool

(Continued from A1) “In addition to recreation, the pool means water safety,” Benton said. “Getting swimming lessons lessens the possibility of something tragic happening.” According to Winchester Mayor Rex McIntire, the city investing in amenities such as the pool is an investment in the city’s future and a way to attract young people to the community. “I understand this is a lot of money,” McIntire said. “A lot of people hate to see us spend this money, but the pool is an asset to our community. Young couples considering moving to Winchester look at things like our school system, our library and the pool.” McIntire said investing in the pool is part of a larger effort to make Winchester more attractive to young people and young families. “We’re striving to improve the downtown area,” McIntire said. “Before my term is up, I want to add a recreation facil-

ity in town.” McIntire went on to praise Public Works Superintendent John Simmons for his work to help complete the pool project and to keep construction costs down. “John Simmons and his crew hardly ever get their due,” McIntire said. “When the project came in over budget, we depended on our city crew to do a lot of the work. Getting this pool done has been tough. I can’t say enough good things about John.” State Senator Steve McClure echoed McIntire’s assertion that rural communities need to invest in themselves in order to grow. “A lot of rural communities are losing population,” McClure said. “The fact that you have a mayor here that wants to take a handson approach and make good things happen – that’s what it’s going to take to get rural communities growing.” The pool is open daily from 11:30 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Legislative

(Continued from A1) McClure and Davidsmeyer want to wait until the census data is available. It is predicted to be Aug. 16, and the deadline for redistricting is June 30. If the maps are not finalized by June 30, a process involving a supposed non-partisan, eight-member committee will meet to decide on the maps. It would then be voted on in October during the fall session. Republicans charge Democrats are trying to avoid that scenario in order to keep control. Democrats say there is no constitutional requirement that the map be drawn using data collected in the 10-year census, but there is a deadline they are trying to meet. Gov. J.B. Pritzker vowed when he ran for governor in 2018 that he would veto any redistricting map drawn by politicians, political staff or lobbyists. He has since toned that down, saying he would veto any map that wasn’t fair.

If Gov. Pritzker signs the map and it is not contested in court, Davidsmeyer would slide to north and take on Cass, Schuyler and Sangamon Counites. McClure would move to the east. Davidsmeyer said he loves his current district and has made many friends and working relationships with the people of his district. “I am not ruling out moving,” Davidsmeyer said. Senatorial and Representative candidates can begin circulating petitions to get on the ballot as soon as Aug. 31. If the legislature doesn’t have a finalized map by then, some candidates could be circulating petitions for districts that aren’t official at that time. The new maps take effect with the 2022 elections cycle when every legislator is on the ballot. Members of the House and Senate run every two years with the Senate operating on a rotating schedule of two four-year terms and one two-year term.
