Commissioners let deadline slide for ambulance referendum; issue still undecided By BETH ZUMWALT Scott County Times The Scott County Commissioners met Monday afternoon and let the proposal to place the question of an ambulance referendum die. The deadline to get the question to the voters on the Nov. 3 ballot was Monday. “We took no action,” Robert Shaffer, president of the board, said. “They are going to have to go another way.” The Winchester EMS, which serves the bulk of Scott County, had asked in January, 2019, for a special service tax which would generate $260,000 for the agency. The money would be used to hire a staff of EMTs and paramedics to man the ambulance. Randy Dolen, president of the Winchester EMS, says the commissioners not putting the question on

"There are just a few of us answering calls, I am 61 years old, I can’ t run like I used to."

Randy Dolen Winchester EMS President the ballot does not mean it is a dead issue. “It is not a commissioner issue,” Dolen said. “It is not a votable issue. We made application to the commissioners for a special service district with taxing authority to the Scott County Commissioners.” According to Dolen, the commissioners held a

public meeting Jan.15 and with several attending and wanting to speak, the meeting was long. It was eventually postponed until Feb. 5, but that week was extremely cold and had snow so was never held. “Since they never officially closed that meeting, they have to do that,” Dolen said. “As soon as they close that meeting, then they can act on our application.” Dolen said he expects to be called to the courthouse for the Aug. 24 meeting and talk to the commissioners about the next step. “There can be petitions to stop us, but they have to be signed by 51 percent of the landowners in Scott County,” Dolen said. “They have 60 days from the close of the public hearing to present those petitions.” (See, AMBULANCE, A2)

Bluffs Picnic an overall Winchester and success despite being smaller Bluffs both opt for By BETH ZUMWALT Scott County Times Three kettles of burgoo were sold and a roast hog was gone in record time as the Bluffs Picnic, held Saturday, went off with out a hitch. A bright sunny day provided the backdrop for the food, the entertainment and a parade through town. “”It was a small crowd,” Linda Sapp, village president, said. “But we had the parade, good food and wonderful entertainment.” Sapp said several events from the traditional agenda for the annual event were canceled due to the COVID-19 restrictions, but the committee had hand sanitizer available in several spots and social distancing was observed. “We wanted to have something this year,” Sapp said. “But next year will be our sesquicentennial and we are really wanted to have a lot of special things. We are already in the planning stages for next year.” Sapp said June 26 of next year will also be the town’s zip code day with Bluffs zip code being 62621. “I don’t know how much we will do for that since it is so close to the sesquicentennial celebration, but we will probably do something.”

The Bluffs Baptist Church had a display of faith in the Bluffs Parade Saturday morning. Virgil Housmann drove the lawn mower that pulled a decorated trailer in the parade. Organizers said the over event was small this year but they are hoping to come back strong in 2021 for the Bluffs Sesquicentennial.

By CARMEN ENSINGER Scott County Times Both Bluffs and Winchester approved the school reopening plan at the August meetings of the respective school boards with the first day of school set for Aug. 19 with shortened days. In-person learning in the classroom will be from 8 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. For those who choose the remote option, those students will be addressed from 2-3:30 p.m. each day. Superintendent Kevin Blankenship said he’s trying to keep a positive attitude towards the re-opening, but with the recent surge of cases in Scott County, anything could happen. “We have got positive cases all over the community and county right now,” he said. “I’ve already got some staff members that are on isolation or quarantine and some students who might be positive as well.” Blankenship was asked what the plan was if a teacher tests positive for the virus or has to quarantine.

COVID-19 cases continue to rise in Scott County By CARMEN ENSINGER Scott County Times or the county who was the very last in the state to have a positive COVID-19 case – Scott County is making up for it now. As of Saturday, Aug. 15, there were 35 positive cases in the county, an increase of 9 positive cases since Aug. 12. But what is most disturbing of all is that those who have tested positive are not quarantining at home thereby possibly spreading the virus to countless others. “We have been hearing about some of the positive COVID cases and contact who are not adhering to the CDC/IDPH rules regarding isolation,” Scott County Health Department Administrator Steve Shireman said. “This is very frustrating as we are trying to keep as many people safe and healthy as possible.” It could be that the law might have to intervene. “It is difficult to try to control the spread of the virus because there are people who just more or less refuse to comply,” Shireman said. “We would need the help of the court and law enforcement and some type of ability to pros-

ecute those who refuse to isolate.” But for now, the community must come together to halt the spread of the virus. “The health department cannot physically keep everyone in their homes,” he said. “We understand that our citizens are also concerned about this, and we feel your frustration.” Shireman urged people to wear masks if they are out in public and observe social distancing. “This is the only way to prevent further cases,” he said. “Also, if you are a positive case or a contact and you have received a call from the health department regarding COVID, we expect you to help us by isolating at home.” As of Aug. 15, nine cases have recovered and are out of isolation. Twenty-six remain in isolation. The newest cases include four males – two in their 20s, one in his 40s and one in his 80s. Three females have also tested positive – one in her 20s, one in her 50s and one in her 80s. There are also two children, both under the age of 10, who have tested positive. “I just hope people realize that this thing is real and try to take precautions to not only protect themselves but their family as well,” Shireman said.

6&+' ZDUQV RI UHJUHVVLRQ By BETH ZUMWALT Scott County Times Scott County Health Department Administrator Steve Shireman says he has not heard any indications that the county could be forced to retreat to stage three or lower in the fight against COVID-19, but says it is a concern. “There is always that chance,” Shireman said. “People know it is out there. They just need to use precautions to keep it contained.” The latest cases reported include four males, one in his 40s, two in their 20s and one in his 80s. Three females have also identified as positives one in her 50s, one in her 80s and one in her 20s. There are also two children under the age of 10. Scott County has a population of 4,971 people with 35 cases being reported and four more tests being sent in Tuesday. Greene County has 13,044, nearly three times the population and only twice as many positives with 73; Pike County has 35 cases, the same as Scott, but has nearly triple the population with 15,611 residents. “It is important to use precautions that people have known about for weeks now,” Shireman said. “We need to get this slowed down.” Shireman did commend the Scott County Nursing Center for their work in keeping the virus out of the facility. “They have had two staff members test positive, but they have been able to keep it out of the residents,” Shireman said. “I just hope everyone will work together so we won’t have to move back a phase.” David Camphouse/Scott County Times

2020 Bluffs parade marches on

By BETH ZUMWALT Scott County Times With COVID-19 restrictions there were not enough contestants to hold pageants at the 2020 Bluffs Picnic. The 2019 pageant winners graciously accepted representing the village for one more years.

Last year’s pageant winners were: Miss Bluffs, Alysia Bartels, Jr. Miss, Katie Coats, Little Mr. Gage Rice and Little Miss Jayda Clark. The Jacksonville Drum Corp participated in the Bluffs Parade Saturday. The group provided excellent entertainment as well as providing a beat for the parade. The Bluffs Parade Committee chose the school’s teachers as the parade marshals for this year’s Bluffs Picnic Parade.

Ambulance

(Continued from A1) Dolen said if nothing is done and no action forthcoming on funding, Winchester EMS will fold within 30-60 days. “There are just a few of us answering calls,” he said. “I am 61 years old, I can’ t run like I used to.” If Winchester EMS shuts down, Dolen is pessimistic about ambulance services to the county.

“South Jacksonville just shut down their ambulance,” he said. “LifeStar is serving South Jacksonville. There are two volunteer ambulances in the area but they are out of service most of the time due to lack of personnel. LifeStar has three ambulances to serve Jacksonville and the outlying areas.

Learning

(Continued from A1) “What we are doing is if the teacher can still work remotely then they will teach from their home from 8 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.,” he said. “But then we also have to have someone in her classroom to supervise the students as well.” Therefore, the district will rely on substitutes to sit in the classrooms, which could pose a problem given the teacher shortage and the fact that many are afraid of catching the virus. However, this is what the community wants. “We did surveys and 70 percent of our community wanted us to go with in-person learning,” Blankenship said. “It is probably 60/40 right now and will probably go down to 50/50 or less by Wednesday.” Both boards voted unanimously to go with in-person learning. “We are taking every precaution we

can,” Blankenship said. “We are spacing the students out on the school buses. So we are trying to do everything that we possibly can, but at the end of the day if I start having positive tests or someone was exposed to someone and have to stay home for 14 days at some point we are going to run out of faculty members and we are not going to have enough people to do it.” Blankenship said there were several big events in the area, including the tractor pull at the fairgrounds. “These are big events for our kids, so we know some of them are going to be at these events,” he said. “So it is more than likely that we are going to have some kids test positive and then we will just have to address it. Even if they don’t have symptoms, it is going to have a negative impact on us and its just going to continue on.”

Coincidence? Pat Van DeVelde Peak Insurance Agency 16 S. Hill, 742-3316 First National Bank of Winchester 26 W. Cherry 742-3134

“And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.” Romans 8:28 NIV

e’ve all had experiences that seem amazing, even providential, as if God himself is sending us a message via these experiences. It’s natural to think of these as messages from a benevolent God, and it’s just as easy to turn them around and say that it was just a coincidence. But sometimes it strains our credulity to think of these experiences as mere coincidences. I had an experience recently where I purchased a daily devotional book at a used bookstore, since I have for many years enjoyed the habit of spending time with spiritual readings in the morning and this one looked interesting. It was one of those books that has a nice leather cover and a silk ribbon affixed to the binding to mark the page. When I got it home and opened it, I was quite surprised to find that the ribbon was placed on the page

corresponding to my Birthday! If that wasn’t a sign that God wanted me to have this book, I don’t know what would have been. And as far as coincidences, there was a 1 in 365 chance that it would be placed on my exact birthday, so it really felt meaningful to me. At the very least, this book will have a special place in my heart for that very reason. These signs from God are important. They make us feel like someone (Someone indeed!) is thinking about us, and looking out for us, and trying to let us know that we are loved and cared for. Look for God in the everyday details of your life, because He is there. – Christopher Simon

WINCHESTER BY IRENE TREECE 217-371-1386

Hello Scott County, I see a lot of gatherings going on and almost looks like things are back to normal except we all know it`s not. We have to live somewhat normal or we will all go crazy if this keeps up much longer. I have never seen a year so long. It`s hard to keep up with what day of the week it is. Everyone`s life would be so much more settled if we could believe the news media and know at least somewhat as to what is the truth about things going on in our world and in our lives today.

By the looks of all the cars parked around close to the fairgrounds, I think the entertainment there on Saturday night was a total success. I do know for sure it was noisy. Can anyone tell me how to get cat owners here in Winchester to keep their cats under control? I do not want them on my porch or in my yard. The cats in my neighborhood have killed all the birds including the nest of cardinals that have been here for a couple of years. I could watch the birds feeding in my back yard in the early morning,

but a couple of weeks ago there were four cats in the tree in my back yard and not a live bird to be seen for the past several days. There is one of the young cats going to have kittens, most likely her brothers kittens since there are so many of them running around. I thought we had a leash law, but it appears that no one can enforce it. Ezra told Eli that he had purchased a book of puzzles that were supposed to improve his memory. Eli said that was a good purchase how is it working for you? Ezra said I`m

sure it would be helpful if I could remember where I put the thing. Someone once said we elderly should embrace old age. We just might be able to do that if we could remember how. Last Week`s Trivia - -George O`Keefe. Next Week`s Trivia - -What 17th century Dutch artist painted Night Watch? It has been said that love never dies of starvation but it may die of indigestion.

Courts looking at alternatives to traditional trials By BILL HOAGLAND In a previous column, we discussed why traditional jury trials will be problematic during the pandemic. The truth is that we desperately need to come up with an acceptable solution for this issue or law and order as we know it will never be the same. That impacts all of us. Courts throughout the country are now experimenting with ways to find that acceptable solution. But as of August 12, the date I am writing this column, there have been no criminal jury trials, and only a handful of â&#x20AC;&#x153;civilâ&#x20AC;? jury trials in places where the pandemic risks are high. A few courts recently attempted to conduct remote jury trials, meaning trials in which the jury is sequestered in their individual homes participating as a group via Zoom. Those courts attempting a remote jury trial have run into a number of problems, starting with the fact that some jurors cannot even effectively utilize Zoom in order to participate. Then there is the matter of jurors sitting at home (or still in bed) getting distracted by cell phones, barking dogs, screaming children and so on. And if we are attempting to rely on the internet to connect everyone, we also necessarily have hackers, slow internet speeds and yes, even pornography showing up on the Zoom screen, as recently occurred during a remote jury trial in Dallas. In short, conducting a remote jury trial is turning out to be problematic and as to criminal trials, probably unconstitutional for a lot of reasons. The biggest overall problem with a remote jury trial is the fact that members of the jury cannot bond during the course of the trial. Bonding is an extremely important part of the jury process. Jurors need that bonding time in order to properly respect the opinions of each juror so that as a group, they can think logically and arrive at a rational result. Attempting to do this via Zoom will not get it done in my view. For these reasons, some courts want jury trials to be conducted at the courthouse. If it can be done safely, this frankly makes the most sense. We have already touched on

the logistic problems of getting everyone on the same page via Zoom. But beyond that, it could get expensive for a local venue having to furnish jurors with suitable computers and internet service at home so that they can participate remotely. Unfortunately, jurors working from home need to be closely monitored throughout the trial to be sure they are paying attention to the evidence and not taking a snooze, watching television, or chasing kids around the house. This means extra court personnel would be needed to do that monitoring via Zoom. So here is what some courts are proposing for conducting jury trials at the courthouse during the pandemic: First, questionnaires would be mailed to all prospective jurors so as to eliminate those who, for a variety of reasons, would be automatically excused from jury duty; this step is done without any jurors having to come to the courthouse. Once the jurors are reduced to those willing and able to serve, the remaining jurors would be brought to the courthouse for voir dire, the process by which they are selected to hear a particular case. At this point in the proceedings, the jurors would be spread out by placing some in the jury box and placing the rest out in the audience section of the courtroom, separated from each other by plastic panels. The jurors during voir dire would be questioned individually either without masks or while wearing a plastic shield over their faces so that the attorneys could see facial expressions during this process. During the times they are not being questioned, they would be required to wear their face masks. The judge would be seated behind the bench and the lawyers would be seated at the counsel tables behind plastic panels. Once the jurors were selected for a particular trial,

they would remain seated in the same spot for the trial itself. Most witnesses would be brought into the courtroom and seated on the witness stand or at the counsel tables, facing the jury and testifying from behind a plastic panel but without a mask so that the jury gets to fully observe their facial expressions during their testimony. Some witnesses, of course, would be testifying via Zoom or video. Once the testimony is completed, the jury would receive jury instructions from the court, final arguments would be made with the lawyers still behind the plastic panels, and the case would then be turned over to the jury to decide the factual issues. At that point, the jurors would remain in the courtroom, still separated from each other by plastic panels and still wearing masks, for the purpose of deliberating the issues; everyone else would leave the courtroom. Once the jury reached a verdict, the parties, lawyers and court personnel would be reassembled in the court room for the verdict. Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hope this works. Otherwise, there could be a lot of criminals who wind up not getting prosecuted. Note: A trial at the courthouse presumes that pandemic safeguards would be in place for all personnel entering the courthouse. And because of safety concerns, it is unlikely that the public would be allowed to sit in the courtroom during the trial. â&#x20AC;&#x201C;â&#x20AC;&#x201C;â&#x20AC;&#x201C;â&#x20AC;&#x201C;â&#x20AC;&#x201C;â&#x20AC;&#x201C;â&#x20AC;&#x201C;â&#x20AC;&#x201C;â&#x20AC;&#x201C;â&#x20AC;&#x201C;â&#x20AC;&#x201C;â&#x20AC;&#x201C;â&#x20AC;&#x201C;â&#x20AC;&#x201C;â&#x20AC;&#x201C;â&#x20AC;&#x201C;â&#x20AC;&#x201C;â&#x20AC;&#x201C;â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 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

Reminiscing over hilarious golf experience with Larry Hilarious! That's always the only word that comes to mind when I think of Larry's first golf experience. He was invited to meet his brother-in-law at a golf course while on vacation. They met at the club and proceeded to pay for the round when he was met by a gentleman who had a British accent. With nose slightly pointed to the sky, the gentleman kindly let Larry know that he would not be able to wear his tank top while playing. (I'm already laughing) Larry, stunned, (not only because he was an "Amuricun" and a Tennessean), proceeded to let the gentleman know that he would just purchase one of their shirts. After browsing the selection, he quickly realized that his wife would not be pleased if he took his house payment and used it on one shirt. He returned, still sporting his tank top, and told the gentleman that he could not pay so much for a shirt. So, once again, using his nose as an aiming device, he let Larry know that he could rent a shirt. Larry said great, and handed the man $10. To which the clerk replied, "Sir, we can-

not take cash. We must have a credit card in case you do not return the shirt." Larry pulled out his credit card (to the surprise of the gentleman) and paid for the rented shirt and then walked around the eighteen hole golf course, for five hours, with a shirt on that read, "This shirt, property of [a] golf club." Nah, I actually made up that part about what the shirt said. Now you know why I say hilarious! I don't want to take us down from the humor of this story too much. It is what it is. And it really has given me a good laugh for the better part of twenty years. But I just couldn't help but wonder how many times we church folk come across as this British gentleman. First of all, we assume that everybody knows what we do and how we do it. We think they know when to stand up, sit down, and what to do with that little cup and that little white tasteless saltine. But not only do we assume everyone should know, even worse, we stop people at the door with our unbiblical attendance requirements.

Unfortunately m a n y churches h a v e made it harder to get into their building than into God's kingdom. But just because this is the case, it doesn't give us license to neglect it. Just find one that doesn't do this â&#x20AC;&#x201D; or change yours. Maybe put a sign up that says, "Tank Tops Welcome." The irony of this story is that Larry's dad first came to the church I pastored many years ago. He was a cussing sailor. I remember the first Sunday he was there. He sat on the second rowâ&#x20AC;Ś in a tank top. A few months later he became a follower of Jesus Christ. That may not be hilarious, but isn't that amazing? â&#x20AC;&#x201C;â&#x20AC;&#x201C;â&#x20AC;&#x201C;â&#x20AC;&#x201C;â&#x20AC;&#x201C;â&#x20AC;&#x201C;â&#x20AC;&#x201C;â&#x20AC;&#x201C;â&#x20AC;&#x201C;â&#x20AC;&#x201C;â&#x20AC;&#x201C;â&#x20AC;&#x201C;â&#x20AC;&#x201C;â&#x20AC;&#x201C;â&#x20AC;&#x201C;â&#x20AC;&#x201C;â&#x20AC;&#x201C;â&#x20AC;&#x201C;â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Q Gary has three books that are compilations of the articles he has written for nearly 15 years. He also speaks at game dinners and menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s groups for churches and associations. You can contact him at gary@outdoortruths.org.
