Special service area public information meeting Sept. 17

By BETH ZUMWALT Scott County Times There will be a special service area district informational meeting Tuesday, Sept.

17 at the Winchester EMS building. The meeting starts at 7 p.m. “This is not the public hearing,� Lynette Schafer, a member of the Winchester EMS Board, said. “It is just an informational meeting.�

The EMS Board has asked the Scott County Commissioners to create a special service area to help

fund the ambulance service.

Currently EMS runs on donations, collected fees and volunteers.

With volunteers few and far between, the EMS board is looking for a source of reliable funding that will enable them to hire paramedics and EMTs to supplement the ambulance service.

Since ambulance districts are not recognized in Illinois, the only option was to create a special service area with the money being designated to the ambulance.

The process of creating such

a district was to first gain the approval of the commissioners, which has been done. The second step is to contact every landowner in Scott County and advise them of the potential tax increase. Letters or post cards will be sent to the landowners once the date for that meeting is set. The third step of the process is a public hearing and if 51 percent of the people do not object, the tax will be implemented.

Next Tuesday’s meeting is not the public hearing but is an informational meeting where questions can be asked and

shown the numbers regarding the ambulance service.

EMS board members have already attended the four major villages affected by the creation of the district – Manchester, Alsey, Glasgow and Winchester and got a positive consensus from them. Bluffs is included in the Meredosia Ambulance District and most properties in that area will not be affected by the tax. Neither is Road District 6. “That was part of the process,� Robert Schafer, a Scott County Commissioner, said.

“They needed those letters to complete the application.�

Robert Schafer said the commissioners have the ordinance on the agenda for next week’s meeting and will vote on it, providing all the paper work is in order. “Everything has to be done in order,� Robert Schafer said. “We will vote on it Monday, Sept. 16 and most likely waive second reading. We don’t have too many second readings of ordinances. When we have the public hearing, we will be ready to move on the district.�

Winchester finalizes bank building purchase

By CARMEN ENSINGER Scott County Times Winchester City Council finalized the purchase of the old bank building on the square to be used as the new city hall at their Sept. 2 meeting by selecting UCB Bank to finance the acquisition.

The council agreed to the purchase at a special meeting on Aug. 14 purchasing the property from Anita Newman at a cost of $48,500. “It has always been our practice to give all three local banks an opportunity to provide financing for us,� Mayor Rex McIntire said. “They

all three (UCB Bank, First National Bank and Farmer’s State Bank) submitted a quote for an interest rate and UCB came in the lowest at 3 percent.�

The city plans to finance $40,000 of the purchase and a state statute limits a municipality from financing property to 10 years. This makes the annual payment for the property come in a $4,699 annually or $387 per month.

The city plans to parcel out three lots on the land it purchased at auction last year to pay for the purchase of the (See, PURCHASE, A2)

Winchester native to manage new business

By BETH ZUMWALT Pike Press Logan Agriculture, based in Griggsville, has announced plans to purchase the IMCO Precast Concrete plant on the east of edge of Winchester for the purpose of establishing a retail crop protection chemical and seed warehouse and service center.

The facility will be managed by Dennis Ryan, a former Winchester High School graduate, currently employed at Bunker Hill Supply in Hutsonville. Ryan’s duties will include include managing the facility and sales/ delivery.

“When opportunity knocks, open the door,� Josh Schaver, COO at Logan, said, adding that the move will allow the company a chance to establish a retail crop protection chemical and seed warehouse and service center.

Schaver noted Logan Ag’s increasing presence in the Illinois counties of Scott, Morgan and Greene as a major contributing factor of the company’s decision to expand. The plant sits on 15 acres and features an all-steel building with approximately 7,500 ft. warehouse area and a complete office complex.

Scott has thousands of unplanted acres

By BETH ZUMWALT Scott County Times Agricultural producers reported they were not able to plant crops on more than 19.4 million acres in 2019, according to a new report released by the U.S. Department of Agricultural (USDA).

This marks the most prevented plant acres reported since USDA’s Farm Service Agency (FSA) began releasing the report in 2007 and 17.49 million acres more than reported at this time last year. Those acres include 6,791 unplanted acres in Scott County. The good news is that 93,027 were planted.

Of those prevented plant acres, more than 73 percent were in 12 Midwestern states, where heavy rainfall and flooding this year has prevented may producers from planting mostly corn, soybeans, and wheat.

For Illinois specifically, however, USDA expects the number of corn acres harvested to fall by 400,000 acres, to 10.4 million, and the yield to fall less than 14 percent. The expected yield is 181 bushels per-acre, for total production of just under 1.9 billion bushels, down almost 17 percent from last year’s production of nearly 2.3 billion bushels.

Soybean production is expected to

fall to 546.7 million bushels, down from last year’s 698.7 million bushels.

That’s based on a projection of 9.9 million acres harvested, at 55 bushels peracre, down from last year’s 10.7 million acres harvested at 65 bushels per-acre.

“I’m surprised it’s not more,” Blake Roderick of the Pike-Scott Farm Bureau, said. “Hopefully they all had insurance and are not totally in the hole.”

Wayne Brown, president of the PikeScott Farm Bureau in Scott County said the unplanted acres have a ripple effect in the community.

“It’s an impact not he producer, it cuts down on their income,” Brown, who also sells LG Seeds, said. “I had a lot of bags of seed returned to me and I know others did also.”

Brown said he personally didn’t experience any prevent plant acres but has fields that were under stress and some that he didn’t get planted entirely.

“There is not much you can do, except mow it, plow it and plant next year,” he said. “You can put a cover crop on and there are programs to help with that. Most of the acres not planted, are highly productive acres.”

According to Ed Logan, of Logan Ag Services in Griggsville, the nearly 7,000 acres not planted could hurt in

two ways.

“First, there will be no income for the grower,” Logan said. “They may have crop insurance to help them recover some expenses, but there will be no profit on those acres. That represents several hundreds of thousands of dollars.”

Logan said that will have a ripple effect through the ag industry, including his business and similar companies that sell seed, fertilizer, fuel, etc.

The second part of the bad news, is that fields, with no crops planted can develop what is known as fallow syndrome.

“In 1993, we saw fallow syndrome,” Logan said. “It is a result of population reduction of a particular mycorrhizal fungi due to no plants growing in that field the previous year.”

According to Logan, corn planted after fallow most typically show phosphorus deficient symptoms and growth can also be stunted. It is important to put a cover crop on to prevent that, erosion and to add organic matter to aid in suppressing weeds.

Logan said this is the season for several cover crops including oats, rye, radishes or turnips.

“We have several people coming in asking about these crops,” Logan said.

Purchase (Continued from A1) building. The council approved a motion to allow Benton and Associates to lay out the three residential lots for sale.

By the city’s zoning ordinance, the minimum lot size is 7200 square feet or 60 feet wide by at least 120 feet deep. The parcel to be divided is approximately a quarter of an acre which will allow for three parcels to be 90 feet wide by 120 feet deep which would more than fulfill the zoning

requirements.

“We want to be sure to keep a 20-foot easement so we can have access for any utility issues,” Mayor McIntire said.

The city decided to offer the lots up for bid with bidders who make at least a $15,000 bid allowed to move into a live auction for the lots during the sale.

The property is located in the city’s Tax Increment Financing (TIF) district, so it is eligible to use TIF funds for any capital improve-

ments that need made.

“TIF funds can be used for the renovation of the building and, down the road, we could even look at a USDA Community Facility Grant to pay for those expenses for anything such as a new roof,” City Attorney John Paul Coonrod said. “As far as the city’s fiscal position goes, there will always be expense come up but the city is in a much better position than in the past to meet these needs because property values are increasing in

the city.”

What’s more, it is taking a vacant building on the square and making it vital again.

“The city’s investment in a building on the town square is a fringe benefit because it is going to bring more foot traffic to the downtown area and its businesses,” Coonrod said. “It’s an investment in the town and it’s continued growth.

Things continue to move in the right direction in Winchester.”

Business (Continued from A1) Logan has begun the process of obtaining the required permits from the Illinois Department of Agriculture for containment of herbicides and liquid fertilizers inside the warehouse and construction of a load and rinse pad outside the facility.

A major service planned for customers is the ability to offer “hot loads” of pre-mixed crop protection chemicals

and water or liquid fertilizer. Several herbicides will be stored in bulk at the facility along with 32% liquid nitrogen and liquid ammonium sulfate (ThioSul).

The Winchester facility affords many options for Logan Ag to expand its service ability east of the Illinois River.

Anhydrous ammonia continues to be sourced from the NH3 site east of Florence; dry fertilizer will be delivered into

the area from the greatly expanded storage facility Move-in is anticipated before yearend with containment and load pad construction following shortly thereafter.

The facility is expected to be fully operational by late-winter/early-spring 2020.

Some of the current sales team will have offices at the Winchester site.

JUST WONDERING ABOUT WONDERS OF THE WORLD

H

ave you ever wondered about won-

der?

I mean have you ever thought why you attribute beauty or awe to certain things?Have you ever been amazed how a large tree can grow from the tiniest crack in a massive rock?

Have you ever been rapt by a sunset, a blanket of fog, or a ridge of mountains in the fall?

I know you have. And I also know you’re beginning to think I’m spending too much time in a tree stand, bored from not seeing deer.

Not yet, but I can say this. Deer hunters are people who get to see some of the greatest wonders of earth. Sitting in a tree stand for hours really can make you focus on every par-

ticular area in view and analyze its most intricate pieces.

There, you are forced to think deeper than what is on the surface. You don’t just see a tree or a rock, but you see an oak and a piece of sandstone. You don’t just see an oak and a piece of sandstone; you see a strutting limb and a unique shape. You don’t just see a strutting limb or a unique shape; you see a guiding force that has sent a seed flying through the wind or a boulder rolling down a hill.

We have today what is known as the Seven Wonders of the World.

They are called “wonders” because the architecture of each structure is greater than the known ability of its designers at

the time it was built.

This “wonder” is not only in the form of question – “I wonder how these were built?” But the “wonder” here is also the prefix of “wonderful” — “What a wonderful sight to behold!”

Beauty is another feather in the hat of those of us who believe in God. Beauty cannot be explained by Darwin’s natural selection or randomness, and yet it is evident in every human. If I were to place the world’s most decorated physician alongside a member of the world’s most uncivilized jungle tribe, in front of the Grand Canyon, both would stand in utter awe at the beauty of such a scene.

In one way or another each would express the term “wonderful.”

But given enough time, “wonderful” would soon move our mind to “I wonder.” That is, I wonder how all of this could happen. And when “wonderful” is put with “I wonder,” the outcome is the same as my little rock and tree – there must be a guiding hand.

“Why, my soul, are you downcast?

Why so disturbed within me? Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise him, my Savior and my God.�

Psalm 42:5 NIV

T

he bitter resentment and grumbling bad humor that is the hallmark of moodiness is almost always a sign of pride. It is pride that makes us think things should always go our way or that we aren’t being treated as well as we should be. It is pride that makes us think that others should love and appreciate us more than they do. What makes us think we should always be happy or that we should always get our way? And where is it written that life is fair or that we have a God-given right to be happy? A moment ago, in the cosmic scheme of things, we weren’t even here, and now that we are here, we expect a life of unending bliss. Life is full of problems and things often don’t work out, even when well-planned

and executed with the best of intentions. The well-adjusted adult is the person who keeps things in perspective and doesn’t fret too much about things beyond his or her control, and realizes also that when they are in a bad mood it is usually because they are choosing to view things that way. The next time you’re feeling grumpy or downcast, reflect on the pride and selfishness that is almost always at the root of these foul moods, and try to reframe things so that things start to look better. – Christopher Simon

Fall webworms are another sign summerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s end There are many ways we mark the end of summer.

Some refer to the beginning of school or the closing of the pool, while others view Labor Day as the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;unofficial end of summerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. Another way, if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re more entomologically inclined, is the appearance of fall webworm.

Fall webworm (Hyphantria cunea) â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;nestsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; often start becoming noticeable in our landscapes during the late summer and early fall. The caterpillars will spin their communal webs on the ends of branches on which they are feeding. They have been found on over 400 different species of trees and shrubs.

In Illinois, they are most commonly found on crabapple, walnut, hickory, pecan, redbud, sweetgum, maple, and oak.

The adults are bright white moths (in the southern part of its range they may have dark spots on their wings) that will begin to emerge in the summer (there can be two generations per year in southern and parts of central Illinois). The females will lay egg masses that contain several hundred eggs on the undersides of leaves. About seven days later the larvae (caterpillars) will hatch.

The caterpillars will spin a silk web over the leaves as they feed. The caterpillars will remain inside the webbing as they feed, as they exhaust their food supply they will continue to enlarge the webbing. The webbing of mature caterpillars can be 2 to 3 feet long. After feeding for around 4 to 6 weeks the caterpillars will leave the webbing and spin a cocoon in leaf litter or in bark crevices to pupate.

The webbing created by fall webworm can act as a beacon, drawing your attention to the damage they cause. In most cases, only a branch here or there will be attacked. Occasionally though, entire branches, or trees in extreme cases, can be stripped of leaves if populations get high enough. As alarming as it may be, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unlikely to do any long-term damage to the tree. The damage they cause happens later in the year and the leaves they are feeding on have done most of the work that they need to for the year.

They also only feed on the leaves, they leave the buds of next yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s leaves alone

NEWS/CLASSIFIEDS/PUBLIC NOTICE

(the trees should leaf out just fine next year). Add this all up and management of fall webworm isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t usually warranted.

The primary problem with fall webworm is aesthetics.

If you just canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stand the sight of them there are several things you can do. One common way of managing them is to prune the affected branches out of trees. Keep in mind that the webbing is only temporary, any pruning you do will be permanent and can potentially hurt the aesthetics of the plant.

The water-resistant webbing fall webworms create makes it difficult to control them with pesticides. If pesticides are used make sure to use enough pressure to penetrate the webbing, or tear it open before spraying.

Keep in mind any chemical used may have an impact on any predators and parasitoids that may attack fall webworm. At least 50 species of parasitoids and 36 species of predators have been found to attack them, which is why we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have nearly as many issues with them, compared to Europe and Asia where they have been accidentally introduced (weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not the only ones who have invasive species, we send pest insects to other countries too).

Instead of worrying about their presence, think of fall webworms as a sign of whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s to come, cooler temperatures, changing leaf colors, and pumpkin spice everywhere.

Good Growing Fact of the Week: Fall webworm and eastern tent caterpillar are often confused with one another. Eastern tent caterpillar is out earlier in the year (spring), create their webbing in the forks and crotches of trees, and leave their webs to feed.
