By DAVID CAMPHOUSE Scott County Times After being held virtually in 2020, the Winchester Car Show on the Square will be back in person, around the square on July 17. According to event organizer Terry Aossey, a good turnout of Midwestern car enthusiasts is expected after last year’s hiatus. “We usually have a good turnout,” Aossey said. “We usually have between 100 and 200 cars. We bring them in from Missouri and some from Iowa and a lot of locals.” Aossey said that one of the main goals of the car show is to spotlight new businesses and improvements in downtown Winchester. “We promote the new businesses, like the ice cream shop, and the new sidewalks, curbs and lighting,” Aossey said. In fact, Aossey said, the car show is one of the largest events around the square to occur all year. “It always used to be the biggest event to be held on the square, until last year; I think more people probably came out for Christmas on the Square,” Aossey said. This year’s car show is set to coincide with the long-awaited Winchester City Hall open house, which will highlight improvements made to the interior of the city hall building. Aossey said that attendees can expect a variety of food and shopping opportunities around the square during the show. “We do a poker walk to encourage people to get into the shops,” Aossey said. For more information on the car show or to register, contact Aossey at 217-6529330.

besides birth defects. Reed said that parents are ultimately responsible for their children’s safety while in the water. “I think it’s important that parents understand that it’s their responsibility to be with their children in the water,” Reed said. Reed went on to say that

parents can sometimes overestimate the amount of time and water that it takes to cause a drowning. A drowning can occur in as little as two inches of water and take as little time as two minutes. “If your child can’t swim and perform the basic swim skills, they need to be within

arm’s reach, even when they are wearing flotation devices,” Reed said. The current swim camp runs until July 2. Registration is required, and the cost of the camp is $60 per child. The next swim camp session runs from July 12 to July 23.

Clem Anders waters the flowers in Winchester’s Memorial Park, Tuesday, June 22. Anders said he has watered them for several years, because “somebody has to do it.” According to Anders, the task takes less time this year, because the city has provided a water hose, which he had previously brought from home.

By DAVID CAMPHOUSE Scott County Times This Saturday, June 26, Winchester’s Outreach Community Center will hold its first indoor Bags of Blessing food and household item distribution since February of last year. Residents should assemble at the front door of the Outreach Community Center at 31 South Main Street. Distribution will begin at 10 a.m. “We have plenty of stuff,” Outreach Community Center’s Marsha Mayner said. “We’re picking up our big food order and getting it ready for Saturday.” In addition to food,

Mayner said that toiletries and other household items would also be available to distribute to residents. Mayner said the number of individuals allowed to enter the building at one time will be limited. “We always limited the number of people,” Mayner said. “So that is basically the same requirement as always.” While not a requirement, Mayner said residents who have not yet been fully vaccinated against COVID-19 are encouraged to wear a mask. “For their own protection, if people are not vaccinated, they should wear a mask,” Mayner said.

Winchester board elects to move forward with creation of ‘Committee of Ten’ By DAVID CAMPHOUSE Scott County Times At its Tuesday, June 15, meeting, Winchester’s school board approved proceeding with the establishment of a “Committee of Ten.” The Committee of Ten is composed of board members and community members, whose mission it is to look further into the recommendations of the recently completed feasibility study, which analyzed the possible consolidation of Bluffs and Winchester. The Bluffs board, on Thursday, June 10, elected not to create the Committee of Ten by not holding a vote. In other business, the board conducted a mandatory budget amendment hearing, at which there were no questions or comments from the public. Following the hearing, the board

went on to approve the amended fiscal year 2021 budget. Amendments to the budget were made necessary by large influxes of federal pandemicresponse funds and unanticipated district expenses. Also approved were the minutes from the board’s May 11 meeting, the district’s financial reports and the paying of bills Board members approved changes to Winchester Grade School's 20212022 handbook and Wellness Policy. The board decided to continue using all three local banks for the district’s financial needs and Miller, Hall and Triggs as board counsel. Angie Slagle will continue as board treasurer. Also approved was the regular meeting schedule for the next fiscal year and the reaffirmation of the district policy manual and student/parent

handbooks. An academic co-op agreement with Bluffs CUSD #2 was renewed. Dance and trapshooting were approved to be added to the school’s extracurricular activities. The activities will come with no cost to the district. Using federal pandemic-response dollars, the board approved the purchase of a small activity bus. Following closed session, the board approved the hiring of Dominic LaSalle - district band/music, Larry Chambless - junior high science, Ryan Moore - summer student worker, as well as Amy McClenning and Melissa Neff - co-head cooks Finally, the board authorized the superintendent to fill the maintenance/ transportation supervisor position, with board approval anticipated at the next meeting.

IDNR announces 2021 schedule of waterfowl blind site drawings Waterfowl hunters are encouraged to mark their calendars for upcoming waterfowl hunting blind site random drawings to be held at several public hunting areas in Illinois in July and August. Since the state has entered Phase 5, the department intends to hold traditional blind drawings at all sites not already drawn, with current guidance from the CDC and Illinois Department of Public Health regarding use of face coverings and social distancing being observed. Participants are also reminded to follow any site-specific drawing procedures. Duck and goose hunters must register in person for waterfowl blind site drawings and must be present at the drawing held at each location designated below immediately after the registration period to claim their blind sites. Mail-in or preregistrations are not accepted. Blind allocations for these sites are good for one or two years, as listed below.

Should teenagers get vaccinated? By BILL HOAGLAND There has been much controversy lately as to whether teenagers should be getting vaccinated for COVID. It will be coming to a head within the next few months when colleges and high schools reopen for the fall and decisions have to be made whether to make the vaccination mandatory for teenagers. The issue boils down as to whether these vaccinations are as safe for teenagers as they appear to be for older adults. And unfortunately, the volunteers used during the testing phases to get these vaccines approved did not include many children under 18 years of age so to some extent, we are in uncharted territory as to what effect these vaccines have on children. In addition, there continue to be rare but adverse side effects to the various vaccines being administered world-wide, and this creates understandable concern for parents everywhere. The most recent side effect for teenagers getting one of the vaccines is “myocarditis,” which is an inflammation of the heart muscle that pumps blood to the rest of the body. The symptoms of myocarditis include shortness of breath, rapid or irregular heartbeat, dizziness and chest pain. Because I have teenage grandkids, I wanted to verify whether myocarditis really is occurring in teenagers as a result of these vaccinations and whether there is a legitimate concern about teenagers getting vaccinated because of this side effect. After a considerable amount of searching, I found what appears to be a credible source to answer the issue of what we should do. This source is Dr. Christy Risinger, a medical doctor and internist practicing in Austin, Texas. She seems particularly credible to me because she has four children of her own under the age of 16 and this is a personal issue for her. Risinger’s discussion of this issue was rendered on June 4 and hopefully can still be found on YouTube.

According to Dr. Risinger, there have been reports of myocarditis occurring in teenagers following COVID-19 vaccinations but overall, they have been rare. As proof of this, she refers to the vaccination program in Israel, where it was mandatory that all children over the age of 15 be vaccinated. The Israel government vaccinated approximately five million people, including teenagers 16 and older, with the Pfizer vaccine. Of those persons between the ages of 16 and 30, on average, approximately one person out of every five thousand developed myocarditis after the vaccination. The medical conclusion was that there was a possible causal relationship between the vaccine and the development of myocarditis. Dr. Risinger also discussed what is happening here in the US; there have been relatively few teenagers who have developed myocarditis following receiving either the Pfizer or Moderna vaccine, but it is happening. If diagnosed soon enough, myocarditis apparently can be treated successfully with rest and medication. But here is the most significant part of this medical history: there have been no adverse results from the Johnson & Johnson vaccine with respect to myocarditis; and of the adverse results following administration of the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines, nearly all of the adverse reactions were in young males, not young women. It is believed that the reactions occurred because some young males, being young, develop excessive antibodies as a reaction to the vaccine, and it is this excess that triggers the inflammation. The advice Risinger gives sounds reasonable. She says that if you have

female children, the risk of developing myocarditis for them appears to be almost non-existent based on the medical history that is available. If you have male children, you have several options. You can go ahead with both doses of Pfizer or Moderna because the overall risk is low in any event. If still uneasy about it, your boys can receive the Johnson and Johnson vaccine; or they can spread out the two doses of Pfizer or Moderna vaccine beyond the normal waiting time between the first and second doses, or they can just get one dose of the Pfizer or Moderna vaccine now and wait to see if it is determined that one dose is sufficient for children. Apparently, Dr. Risinger intends to have her children vaccinated with the first dose of either Pfizer or Moderna and then wait to see what is happening with the vaccination effort on teenagers elsewhere. Obviously, as a parent, you owe it to yourself and your children to keep abreast of developments. To be more specific about it, Israel is now going to vaccinate children between the ages of 12 and 15. It would be important to track to what extent these children develop myocarditis to get a better idea of the risk that may be involved. Let’s face it; we really are entering uncharted territory. ––––––––––––––––––– 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.

Following sampling on the Illinois River, Illinois officials have confirmed the presence of the algal toxin, microcystin, above the 8 parts per billion (ppb) health advisory established by U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. The Illinois Environmental Protection Agency collected samples on June 10 along the northern bank of the Illinois River at the Starved Rock Lock & Dam (Illinois River mile 231.1). The Illinois EPA’s laboratory confirmed the microcystin level in the sample at 95.4 ppb, well above the health advisory limit. Illinois EPA proactively sampled again on June 16 for microcystin and awaits the results of the resampling event. Algal toxins (e.g., microcystin and cylindrospermopsin), sometimes produced by blue-green algae, can cause sickness or other adverse health effects in people and pets, depending on the amount and type of exposure. Illinois EPA also tested for cylindrospermopsin, anatoxin, and saxitoxin but did not detect their presence near any level of concern. The very young, elderly, and people with compromised immune systems are most at risk of illness if exposed to algal toxins. Adverse health effects attributable to algal toxins can occur from direct skin contact, swallowing

Outdoor Truths: Gary Miller I’ve told you about my fishing adventures with Mike. He’s a local striper guide. I have fished with him on numerous occasions, but most of the time I am his helper when I have friends come and use his services. We always have a good time, and it’s even better when all those on board catch plenty of fish. Most of the time, there’s about four guys who join us for about a half-day of fishing. Mike has everything ready when we arrive. The rods are ready for the bait, he’s got a good idea where the fish are located, and he’s already been out before 4 a.m. getting live bait for the day. Heck, he even provides water and snacks for all. During the summer, the boat leaves at 6 a.m., and there’s normally a short ride before we begin to locate the species we’ve come after. Mike’s fish-finder looks

“Better to be lowly in spirit along with the oppressed than to share plunder with the proud.” Proverbs 16:19 NIV

ur egos are fragile things. How easy it is to have our egos bruised simply by someone pointing out some flaw that we have. Unfortunately, most of us have plenty of flaws, and if our friends and family members, not to mention our coaches, teachers and coworkers are honest with us, they will sometimes point them out. Instead of getting upset about this, we should really thank them and consider how we might work on these flaws. The truth is, most of our friends and family members don’t know the half of it when it comes to our flaws. Besides the obvious ones, most of us also have hidden flaws that run deep. And even our positive attributes often stem from some

character flaw. I may consider myself a simple man with simple tastes and say that I am frugal when in fact I’m really just a cheapskate. We often make a virtue out of necessity, and all of this is just to say that we ought to have a very humble opinion of ourselves. Thinking that others are better than ourselves, even when they are not, is a good way to avoid having your ego bruised. –Christopher Simon

JWCC trustees approve tentative WES announces school honor roll balanced busget, tuition freeze for 2022 fiscal year John Wood Community College Board of Trustees approved a tentative $16,199.429 balanced budget for the next fiscal year during its regular meeting Wednesday, June 16. Although the budget is $208,424 higher than last year, it does not include an increase in tuition. This is the fifth straight year JWCC has frozen tuition for students. In addition to the tuition freeze, the budget increase is based on strategic planning investments, enrollment initiatives and College contractual obligations. “Our goal is to remain a growing, progressive institution focused on student success,” Michael Elbe, JWCC president said. “As we look to the future, we continue to find new sources of revenue and maintain our conservative fiscal management practices. We are committed to providing relevant programs and services to our students focused on the very best academic experience and workforce skill training.” The 2022 budget will remain on display for 30 days for public review. The budget will be formally adopted during the July Board meeting. In partnership with JWCC, the University of Illinois and the Orr Corporation, construction is planned for a 24,000-square-foot facility at the JWCC Agricultural Education Center near Baylis, IL. The Orr Corporation, chaired by Matt Bradshaw from Pike County, has been planning for an expanded agricultural facility that will include offices and classrooms, an exposition/arena space, and an animal care unit designed for short-term or temporary housing for the welfare of animals. This is an Orr Corporation project constructed with privately donated funds of over $2 million. Once completed, the Orr Corporation will donate the facility to John Wood Community College for use by the University of Illinois, JWCC and other organizational partners in the region. Ground-breaking is scheduled for Aug. 24. “The building will address multiple agricultural education and development opportunities in the Tri-State area,” Elbe said. “This project will provide additional educational programs and services to address current and emerging agricultural industry opportunities and will enhance human and economic development in our rural economies.” JWCC was recently awarded a $3 million federal grant for the expansion of the Work-

force Development Center in Quincy. “Once completed, the project will provide relevant skill training for the most in-demand fields to the area’s workforce and strengthen resiliency throughout the region,” Elbe said. In other business, the board: Q Authorized submission of a $84,928 grant application to the Illinois Community College Board (ICCB) for a grant titled FY2022 Equity-Driven Continuous Improvement Funds grant to support Career and Technical Education programming. Q Authorized submission of a $30,000 grant application to the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) Area #14 for a grant titled Youth-Out of School Workforce Program. Q Authorized $3,033,418 in grant funds from the Federal Economic Development Administration for FY2020 Public Works and Economic Adjustment – Workforce Development Center Expansion. Q Authorized submission of a $15,345 grant application to the Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity for a grant titled Small Business Community Navigation. Q Approved the Fiscal Year 2022 tentative balanced budget resolution. Q Approved $6.3 million level for the School Treasurer’s Bond with THE HARTFORD through the Illinois Community College Risk Management Consortium. Q Accepted a $25,000 bid from Barnard Elevator of Quincy, IL for 3-year bi-monthly elevator service and preventative maintenance. Q Approved a Resource Allocation Management Plan (RAMP) document submission to the Illinois Community College Board (ICCB). A RAMP document must be filed annually for JWCC capital projects to be considered for State of Illinois matching funds. Q Approved an Intergovernmental Agreement Amendment to the Intergovernmental Agreement between John Wood Community College and the University of Illinois, extending the lease for five acres of land for the Orr Corporation expansion project, dated February 2020, extending the end date from Feb. 28, 2030 to Feb. 28, 2070. The next meeting will be held Wednesday, July 21, at 6 p.m. at the JWCC Quincy campus.
