Winchester pool passes IDNR inspection; payment to follow By DAVID CAMPHOUSE Scott County Times At the Wednesday, July 7, Winchester city council meeting, City Engineer Greg Hillis reported that the recently renovated Winchester pool and newly built pool house had passed a critical Illinois Department of Natural Resources (IDNR) inspection. Now that the successful inspection has taken place, the city is set to receive the second of two reimbursement payments from IDNR in the amount of $167,500. The council also approved the ninth, and penultimate, payment to Trotter Contracting for their work during the pool project. The ninth payment was $38,962.62. All that remains to be paid is the amount still held by the city in retainage, pending the completion of the project. “Trotter is just working on a punch list of little things to be done before the work is 100 percent complete,” Winchester Mayor Rex McIntire said.

“There is a little over $39,000 in retainage until they are done with that punch list.” Hillis also presented updated drawings of the Winchester library expansion project. He reported that the library project would open for bids on Aug. 19. Hillis went on to say that a water quality test in the area of Winchester’s planned northwest sewer expansion revealed the presence of E. Coli bacteria. The presence of the bacteria could help the city garner state grant dollars designed to improve sanitation in unsewered communities. “The E. Coli should be to our advantage in accessing the construction grant for sewer in that area,” McIntire said. The council went on to approve paying pool assistant manager Whitney Kunz $12 per hour. Kunz is responsible for facilitating youth swim lessons at the pool. Council members approved an ordinance change that disallows the use of copper pipe for natural gas from gas meters to furnaces and appliances.

Black steel pipe is allowable from the meter. Water and sewer workers Jim Dobson and Trevor Cawthon were approved to attend a training in Taylorville at a cost to the city of $225 per attendee. Bids were accepted from Powell Tree Trimming for $1,000 and $1,400 for trimming on South Main Street and at Monument Park respectively. Public Works Superintendent John Simmons reported that needed repairs to city wells are on hold, pending the availability of parts. The council approved one time payments to Earth Works and Rick Willis of $125 and $750 respectively for their work mowing for the city. McIntire attributed the payments to the contractors’ excellent work and a rise in the cost of fuel. Council members passed a resolution recognizing the work of the Pike-Scott Farm Bureau in service to the community. The Farm Bureau is celebrating 100 years in Scott County on July 22.

McIntire reported that the city has contracted with a Springfield-based company to house a backup of all of Winchester’s computer systems and electronic records. “The backup helps protect us from malware and things of that sort,” McIntire said. City Attorney John Paul Coonrod reported that city police officers can now write municipal court violation citations. Citations had been written by Coonrod. Amanda Howerton was approved as the city’s new Deputy Clerk. With the appointment, Howerton received a $1 per hour pay increase, bringing her pay to $16 per hour. “Amanda is responsible for billing and receivables,” McIntire said. “She pretty much runs the office.” McIntire also said that interviews to fill the recently vacated city clerk position would take place this week, and a new city clerk would likely be named by the end of the week.

COVID-19 Delta variant expected in Scott County soon By DAVID CAMPHOUSE Scott County Times According to Scott County Health Department (SCHD) RN Meghan VanDeVelde the Delta variant of the COVID-19 virus, which is more transmissible and may result in more severe COVID-19 cases than prior versions of the virus, has been detected in counties neighboring Scott County. VanDeVelde said it is probably only a matter of time until the variant is found in Scott County. “The Delta variant has been noted in surrounding counties, so I assume it will arrive in ours soon,” VanDeVelde said. “At this

point, we are not aware of its presence in Scott County.” While the Delta variant has not yet been detected in Scott County, VanDeVelde stated that SCHD’s standard COVID-19 testing kits are unable to detect differences between COVID-19 variants, including the Delta variant. “Our rapid testing does not determine the presence of these variants,” VanDeVelde said. “So, for those who are concerned about this, it is recommended to seek their primary care physician to get a PCR test conducted to determine the presence of any variant.” (See, COVID-19, A2)

The latest COVID-19 data released by the Scott County Health Department shows two active cases in the county and another five individuals in quarantine from close contact with the virus. The health department reports that the more transmissible Delta variant of the virus may be in the county soon. All three approved COVID19 vaccines are thought to effectively combat the Delta variant. Vaccine clinics continue to be offered by the Scott County Health Department.

The importance of parents needing life insurance Parenthood is one of the most significant milestones you’ll ever accomplish. It can also be stressful, as your life is about to really change with a new addition to the family. “As a parent, your baby’s safety is your top priority. There’s another important consideration for new parents who want to help protect their newborn — life insurance,” says Tim Heslin, Interim Head of AIG Life US. If you are a new parent, you know that your time is quickly filled with feedings and diaper changes. So, while there are many types of life insurance, you can save time by narrowing in on the two main ones: term or universal life insurance. Term Life Insurance is protection that expires after a set period of time (i.e. your “term”). It’s ideal for those who have greater coverage needs that may diminish over time. “If you have a newborn and a mortgage, for example, you might need more coverage now than you will once your child graduates from college and your mortgage is paid off. It’s also one of the most affordable

ways to protect your family, says Heslin.” Unlike term life insurance, Universal Life Insurance is protection that lasts for life. As long as you maintain sufficient value in your policy, you can keep the policy for up to a lifetime. It may also include cash value, which is the

value the policy may accumulate when a premium payment is made. Left alone, that money will continue to grow taxdeferred and can be used for the future. You can use that money toward a number of life events, such as college tuition, the down payment on a home, or seed money

for a business venture. So if you’re looking for cash value that can grow alongside your child, universal life insurance is a good option to consider. For more information on AIG Life insurance products and basics, visit https:// www.life and retirement. aig.com/life-iq

100th anniversary of Route 66.” “The Route 66 Experience is going to totally transform gate 2 on the Illinois State Fairgrounds and make it a destination for visitors not only during the fair, but year-round,” said Illinois State Fair Manager, Kevin Gordon. “We are excited to showcase Route 66 history at our 2021 fair and look forward to the experience growing for years to come.” The experience will be open year-round and will offer QR codes and story boards that will detail historical attractions and businesses along the Route. Communities along Illinois Route 66 have been invited to participate and will do so by working with the Illinois Route 66 Scenic Byway to develop their perspective area within the experience. The Illinois State Fairgrounds Route 66 Experience is slated to be completed prior to the Mother Road’s Centennial Anniversary in 2026.

Gate 2 of the Illinois State Fair will feature an exhibit like no other. The Illinois State Fairgrounds Route 66 Experience is a multiyear project focusing on our nation’s most iconic road. The experience will offer visitors a chance to walk Illinois Route 66 from Chicago to the Chain of Rocks Bridge and learn about communities and attractions along the Route in microform. The project is headed by the Illinois Route 66 Scenic Byway, with the goal of sparking interest in those who have not yet experienced everything Illinois Route 66 has to offer. “We have begun working on the Route 66 Experience and will have the first phase completed by the time the Illinois State Fair begins on August 12,” said Casey Wichmann, Route 66 Scenic Byway Executive Director. “Being able to provide visitors a central location to experience what our historic road has to offer is an amazing opportunity prior to the

COVID-19

in SCHD’s COVID-19 vaccination services has largely died down from the pandemic’s peak. “Vaccine clinics have dwindled in terms of number of those signing up, which has been expected as most of those who wanted the vaccine have received it,” VanDeVelde said. Despite the low levels of interest, SCHD continues to deliver the vaccine to Scott County residents. VanDeVelde encourages residents interested in getting a COVID-19 vaccination from SCHD to act quickly, because the much of the health department’s vaccine stock is nearing the end of its usable life. “We are doing a Moderna clinic this Friday, the 16th,” VanDeVelde said. “Reminder that our Johnson and Johnson doses expire on August 4th and our Moderna doses expire September 7th.” The three approved COVID-19 vaccines continue to protect against the Delta variant. According to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, nearly all of the COVID-19 deaths in the past few months have been unvaccinated people.

(Continued from A1) Illinois public health officials consider the Delta variant to be of concern, because it seems to be more transmissible and to move more quickly through the population. In fact, as the Delta variant has become more prevalent in the state, COVID-19 positivity rates in Illinois Healthcare Region 3 – which includes Scott County – nearly quadrupled from June 16 to July 3. Nationwide, VanDeVelde said, more that half of current COVID-19 cases are thought to individuals carrying the Delta variant cases. “The Delta variant has been noted by the CDC to be an estimated 51 percent of COVID-19 cases,” VanDeVelde said. According to VanDeVelde, interest from Scott County residents in receiving COVID-19 testing services from SCHD has continued to weaken as the pandemic drags on. “COVID testing has remained slow,” VanDeVelde said. “In June we conducted 63 tests, and thus far into July we have done 22.” Similarly, VanDeVelde said that local public interest

scope of work.” The Cemetery Committee has identified 42 gravestones to repair this year. No gravestones were repaired last year. The committee is currently seeking bids for the repair work. “Repairing those 42 will repair all of the older part of the new cemetery,” McIntire said. The city is attempting to facilitate the sale of two derelict homes in Winchester, in hopes of not having to follow through with fix-or-flatten procedures. McIntire reminds residents that an

open house will be held at the city hall on July 17 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. “We want folks to come down and take a tour of the city hall,” McIntire said. “We want them to see the improvements. Refreshments will be served.” McIntire said improvements to the city hall building are ongoing. Most recently, new air conditioner units were placed on the building’s roof. Finally, the city council approved a contract with Coad window washing company to wash the exterior, first floor windows of the city hall for $150 per month.

The UFO Report Gets a Closer Look

By BILL HOAGLAND The long-awaited Pentagon report on UFOs was made available to the public late Friday, June 25. As widely predicted, this report basically states that while recent UFO sightings cannot be explained, the US Government is not willing to acknowledge that they might have an extraterrestrial origin. This report was disappointing to a lot of people for a lot of reasons. So I thought before I got too critical, I probably ought to read the nine page report in its entirety, which I have now done. Obviously, I did not have access to the classified portion of the report, but we can probably figure out what it says as well. To summarize the report, it states that there are 143 UFO sightings that cannot be explained. In getting to that point, the report states that these mystery sightings do not relate to US military weapons nor are they thought to be something that the Russians, Chinese or other adversaries have secretly developed; the technology appears to be too far advanced for any of us. The report concludes with the statement that despite the fact that the US, Russia, China and other adversaries do not appear to be responsible for these UFOs, there is no evidence that these sightings are extraterrestrial. Who do they think it is—Steven Spielberg with a new movie trailer? If you are as disappointed as I was at first, it does help to take a closer look at that report. The purpose of requiring the report in the first place was to determine whether these recent UFO sightings represent a threat to the security of the United States. It was not to determine whether the government has possession of alien bodies, crash debris from a spaceship or some other tangible evidence of an extraterrestrial presence. In other words, the government was asked to reveal

only information regarding “aerial” activities and by definition, that would seem to exclude non-aerial objects (such as alien bodies, spacecraft debris and so on). The report further clarifies that it is providing information only for aerial observations between 2004 and March 2021 and only those observations during that time frame by military personnel that were recorded and reported “up the flagpole ‘’. That means the report did not consider many more observations during that time frame by military personnel who decided not to report it up the flagpole out of fear of ridicule or reprisals. In fact, in 2019 the Pentagon decided that it needed to decree that UFOs be henceforth referred to as Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAPs) for the express purpose of encouraging military personnel to report these sightings without being labeled as a “looneytunes”. So it has only been in the last two years that we are assured that the military is getting full UFO reports from its personnel. Before 2019, the reporting was sporadic.Then we have all the sightings that occurred before 2004 that are not considered at all in this report. Those sightings even go back to WWII, when during a bombing raid over Berlin, American pilots encountered a string of UFOs overhead. (Obviously, they were not German because they did not attack the bombers.) In 1952, the US Air Force began keeping track of UFO sightings by listing them in a so-called “Project Blue Book”, which listed 12,618 sightings, including 701 unexplained sightings between 1952 and 1969; the

project was discontinued in December 1969. None of these sightings are considered in the 2021 report. In short, we have a lot more than just 143 unexplained sightings. With respect to the 2021 disclosures, the Office of National Intelligence states that they need to continue to analyze the videos that they do have because they cannot determine how or why these UFOs are able to function the way that they do. In other words, we will probably be receiving additional analyses on what was disclosed on June 25. A portion of the report submitted to Congress was classified. My guess is that the classified part discusses what we currently know about Russian and Chinese technology and why we don’t think they have the technical ability to create what we are seeing with regard to these UFOs. The June 25 report is disappointing to the extent it does not allow for any possibility that these sightings may relate to extraterrestrial sources but truth is, this report barely scratches the surface. The good news is that it may encourage more military and non-military observers to come forward and help get this mystery solved, which we need to do; these sightings are real and not going 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.

It is with heavy hearts and deepest regrets that we announce the sudden passing of our sister, daughter, mother, aunt and friend, Susan Downer Nenon, on June 10th, 2021. Susan was born March 21st, 1966 to Robert Edward Downer and Jeanne Elizabeth Downer in Springfield, Illinois. Susan moved to Tucson, Arizona in 1968 with her family, where she grew up and fell in love with the Southwestern desert. She attended Canyon Del Oro High School and graduated in 1984. While attending CDO, Susan excelled in academics, participated in cheerleading, and dominated in track and field events. She then went on to obtain a Bachelor of Arts degree in Communications at Illinois College from which she graduated in 1988. Susan was a member of Gamma Delta Sorority at Illinois College. Susan entered the working world after college and held several jobs, including an internship with Illinois Governor, Jim Thompson in 1988. In 1990, she joined State Farm Insurance where she held positions in Underwriting and Human Resources. She also held positions in outside sales, marketing, and personal training. When not working, she was an avid runner, cyclist, cross-fit

fanatic and triathlete, competing in many races before the sport became trendy. She was a true people person and natural leader. However, Susan’s most important and honorable role was that of a devoted and loving mother who always found time for her kids, Winter and Chloe, no matter how busy or hectic life got. She was a caregiver and fierce “mama bear” who was there to protect, nurture, and support for her kids in any way she could. Susan loved and cherished them dearly. In addition to her love of family, she was passionate about the outdoors, animals, and her rediscovered faith. She was the life of any party and never did anything halfway. Whether tending to her adopted rescue dogs and a cat, attending concerts and music festivals, or enjoying her favorite getaway to run/hike Blackett’s Trail in Sabino Canyon, Susan lived life to the fullest and inspired those around her to do the same. She was giving, caring, and did not know a stranger. With her brilliant smile, sense of humor, and open heart, she lit up any room she entered. She was truly as beautiful on the inside as she was on the outside. While her physical presence will be for-

ever missed, her spirit and strength will live on in our hearts. Susan is survived by her children, Winter Nenon 18 and Chloe Nenon 16, parents Bob and Jeanne Downer, sister Beth Downer Lewis (husband Stuart), brothers Bob Downer (wife Lori) and Rick Downer (wife Neely), Uncle Jim Downer (Aunt Kathy deceased), Aunt Wanda (Uncle Bill deceased), cousins James, Gene and Larry, along with nieces and nephews Alison, Carter, Will, Peyton, Morgan, Luke and Josie, all of whom love and miss her dearly. Susan’s family will hold a Celebration of Life gathering in her honor to be announced at a later date. In lieu of flowers, the family requests you consider a donation in her memory to the Pima County Humane Society, your local animal rescue/shelter or other charity of choice.

Outdoor Truths: Gary Miller

Reading is a great activity while waiting to deer Habitat is a word used quite often in the world of the outdoorsman. If you have lived more than a couple of decades, you have witnessed changes in the habitat in the area you live and/or hunt. As our population increases, houses will continue to take land that is the home to a variety of animals. There is no doubt, not only are we squeezing the animal population into smaller quarters, we are also changing much of the landscape in a way that drives out certain creatures and invites others in. For instance, there was a time in my area when quail were plentiful. Just about every farm would be home to a few coveys that would reproduce from year to year. Now, if a farmer sees a covey of quail, it becomes headline news to every hunter in the area. There are many reasons for this change and while some are human related, all are not. Again, it may be the increase of predator animals, like coyotes, have increased or even the number of hawks

Reminder

who love to feed on these tasty birds. But regardless, as habitat changes, so does everything around it. Sometimes, however, the problem lies within our own piece of property. It may be the neighbor is doing just fine in holding certain animals, (let’s say deer) but they are nowhere to be found on our property. When this happens, we must decide if we will improve our habitat or allow it to become home to something else. As I am reminded of this issue, my mind is drawn to the church. It doesn’t take long to see the impact most are making is nothing like it once was. Recent polls have uncovered the fact that the population is steadily moving away from church attendance and that Christianity is no longer the default religion in America. What this tells me is that the habitat has changed. What once was fertile ground for those seeking God has become in some places, barren and unproductive. Intro-

spection is called for. And as I look within, I see there h a v e b e e n uncont r o l lable circumstances that have surrounded the church, but instead of working harder on keeping our ground fruitful, we have been satisfied to blame the “hawks” and “coyotes.” My friend, the church is still where mission work is most effective, but if you are not changing to keep up with the predators, your mission field will move to other ground. ––––––––––––––––––– Q Gary has three books that are compilations of the articles he has written for nearly 15 years.

Perfectionism “For whoever keeps the whole law and yet stumbles at just one point is guilty of breaking all of it.” James 2:10 NIV

aints and sages are exemplary because they have attained a level of perfection which few mortals ever reach. And despite the impossibility, the great teachers have generally told us to be perfect. Consider the words of Jesus: “Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.” (Matthew 5:48 NIV) Saints and sages often ask us to live in a way that is almost impossible: to love one’s enemies (Christianity); to extinguish greed, aversion, and delusion (Buddhism); and to always act virtuously (Stoicism and various other philosophies). Ironically, the closer one gets to these ideals, the more one demands this only of oneself and

never of others. The perfect person expects others to fail, and knows that he or she will occasionally fail, if only in thought and not necessarily in word or deed. The more perfect we become, the gentler we should be with those who are imperfect, including ourselves in our moments of imperfection. Seek perfection, striving to become a saint and a sage, but have patience, as this is a project for a long and blessed life. –Christopher Simon

Jesse White Issues Reminder: Electronic Automobile Insurance Verification Program Has Begun Illinois Secretary of State Jesse White is reminding drivers that electronic verification of automobile insurance has begun and vehicle owners who are unable to prove insurance will face a license plate suspension and $100 reinstatement fee. Enforcement of the state’s mandatory insurance electronic verification program began on July 1, 2021. Insurance companies are working in conjunction with the Secretary of State’s office to confirm electronically that motorists have automobile insurance. The vast majority of vehicle owners will not have to do anything, as

electronic verification of automobile insurance will be confirmed automatically. “My office has led the effort to establish and implement an automobile insurance verification system online that uses innovations in technology to help reduce the number of Illinois motorists driving while uninsured,” said White. “The message is simple: if you don’t have auto insurance, get covered now. It is the law.” The program follows national standards established by the Insurance Industry Committee on Motor Vehicle Administration and is expected to reduce

the number of Illinois motorists driving while uninsured. Under the new Illinois Insurance Verification System (ILIVS), vehicle owners’ automobile insurance will be verified electronically at least twice a year at random intervals to ensure that vehicle owners are complying with the state’s mandatory automobile liability insurance laws. If electronic verifications are unsuccessful, the Secretary of State’s office will send a written request to the vehicle owner giving them the opportunity to prove they have insurance before suspending their vehicle registration.

Vehicle owners must contact their insurance company or notify their insurance agent that they received a letter with a specific reference number from the Secretary of State. The insurance agent’s responsibility is to confirm electronically with the Secretary of State – through www.ILIVS.com – that the vehicle owner does in fact have automobile insurance on the verification date stated in the letter. It is important to note that vehicle owners who receive the letter should NOT VISIT a Driver Services facility; instead, they should CONTACT THEIR INSURANCE

COMPANY OR AGENT who can provide the necessary electronic proof of insurance needed to cancel the license plate suspension. Vehicles owners who do not currently have automobile insurance must obtain insurance to avoid license plate suspension. White chaired the Uninsured Motorist Verification Advisory Committee that worked with insurance companies, traffic safety advocates and members of the General Assembly. The advisory committee reviewed best practices and helped provide the guidelines used to establish legislation and program requirements.
