Approximately 50 attend bridge meeting By BETH ZUMWALT Scott County Times Approximately 50 people attended a meeting last Thursday at the Nimrod Funk Building in Winchester. The public hearing was to show the preferred alternative for the new bridge and explain what that selection meant for the area. At least eight individuals from the Illinois Department of Transportation were on hand to answer questions about the project slated to begin in 2024. The route Alternative 4C/D is the furthermost south of the options presented. Not building or repairing the existing EULGJH ZDV DOVR DPRQJ WKH ¿QDO options, as well as constructing a new bridge to the north of where the existing bridge sits and a third option that split the difference in bridge locations between the current bridge
and the northernmost option. Eleven options were originally considered then narrowed down to four. Route 4C/D was chosen because: it meets the purpose and need, is the only known alternative with no impacts found to sensitive archeological areas, causes no displacement of businesses or residents, is better for river navigation and has less wetland acreage impacted than 4A or 4C. If chosen, 4C/D will take 48.6 acres of land in right of way and 14.9 acres in uneconomic remnant area. The estimated cost of the project is $80.5 million and the finished route will be 1.10 miles in length. The next step in the process is for IDOT to review all the comments made at the meeting or submitted later. Comments must be received by Sept. 24 to be considered.

Of the four alternatives chosen for the replacement bridge at Florence, alternative 4C/D got the nod. The proposed project is about 300 feet south of the existing bridge, meaning it will be in the immediate area of the proposed boat dock.
Once the commentary portion is over, IDOT will continue environmental coordination to obtain state and federal permits.

Celebrating women’s right to vote By CARMEN ENSINGER Scott County Times

Serving our readers for more than 151 years
ast month was a very historic month for women as the 19th Amendment, giving women the right to vote in the United States was passed on Aug. 18, 1920. The Old School Museum in Winchester is celebrating the 100th anniversary of the 19th Amendment with a Smithsonian Exhibition display called “Votes for Women: A Portrait of Persistence” based on the National Portrait Gallery exhibition of the same name. The exhibition is a compelling exploration of the women’s suffrage movement and its relevance to Americans’ lives today. It tells the history of the struggle of women to gain the right to vote through an array of early photographic portraits, paintings, engravings, works on paper, lithographs, video, newspapers, postcards, books, ballots, banners, fliers and pennants. Today, women have as much say in the elections as men, but that was not always the case. However, in the state of Illinois, this monumental occasion went relatively unnoticed. In scanning the local newspapers from 1920, there is hardly a mention of the women’s suffrage movement, nor the passage of the 19th Amendment. There is a good reason for that – because in Illinois, women gained the right to vote in 1913. The suffrage bill passed the lower House
by a vote of 83 to 58 after having previously passing the Senate. Women and their right to vote have an up and down history in the United States. Women had the right to vote in the latter part of the 1770s but gradually, state by state, these rights were revoked, with New York being the first state to take the vote away from women in 1777. Massachusetts followed in 1780, New Hampshire in 1784 and in 1787 the United States Constitutional Convention placed voting qualifications in the hands of the individual states. Women in all states except New Jersey lost the right to vote. New Jersey was the last state to revoke women’s right to vote in 1807. In Illinois, the women’s suffrage movement began way back in 1860. An attempt to grant women the right to vote as part of the 1870 Illinois Constitution failed. In 1873, a small concession was made when a statute was passed giving women the opportunity to run for any school office not created by the Illinois Constitution. There is a big difference in being allowed to run for an office and being allowed to select those who represent us. It would be almost two decades later when women were finally given the right to vote for school officers in 1891. It was one small step for women, but it was just the beginning. With the continued work of several organizations, including the Illinois Equal Suffrage Association, the Illinois Federation of Women’s Clubs and the Chicago (See, RIGHT TO VOTE, A2)
Old School Museum repurposes old items By CARMEN ENSINGER Scott County Times The Old School Museum (OSM) is chock full of vintage items of local historical interest, but did you also know that many of those items are stored in vintage items as well? The idea to highlight these items came about when the OSM was setting up the Smithsonian’s Women’s Sufferage display, which is a set of posters depicting women and their struggle to get the right to vote, which was granted 100 years ago in 1920. “We were looking for a way to display these posters and it came to us that we had some old doors stored in the back,” OSM owner Tricia Wallace said. “These doors were salvaged out of the old Coultas house before it was torn down, and we just put some hinges on them and staggered them like an accordian where they would stand up, and it works out just beautifully.” These old doors, which have now become a useful part of the museum, got Wallace to thinking of the many other things in the museum that have been repurposed. At the front of the museum are two of three large biology tables from the high school. The two tables in the front hold cases full of Native American arrowheads. “These tables came out of the high school when they updated some of the furniture,” OSM Docent Janis Dappert said. “The really neat thing about these tables is the inside of the drawers.” The inside of each drawer literally contains hundreds of student names written down going back at least 70 years. “The first day of school, the teachers would always say, ‘okay, just get it over with. Open the drawer and write your name in there,’” Dappert said. “There are names in there from when I was in school.” Some of those names include: Bucky Savage, Brian Shafer 92, Todd Hubbert 82, Roger Sparks 76, Butch 56 and Kenny Swan 57. In the facsimile schoolroom section stands a very, very old cabinet with glass doors that Dappert thinks might have contained school books and school supplies at one time. “My husband, Michael, and I bought this piece at an auction away from here,” Dappert said. “At the auction, they said that they thought it was from this school house so, in essence, it came back home.” There are also several other trophy cases used as display cases that came out of the high school which the Wallaces were able to procure for the

Real Estate taxes due Sept. 24 Scott County Treasurer Mark Ford is reminding Scott County residents that the second installment on their real estate taxes is due on Sept. 24. Ford said tax bills can be mailed in or put through the treasurer’s mail slot in the
treasurer’s door. If a person wants a receipt, they must include a self-addressed stamped envelope. The courthouse is open 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday with entry on the East side of the courthouse.
Medical records will remain private
By BETH ZUMWALT Scott County Times Despite a request for the names of people testing positive for COVID-19, the Scott County Health Department will keep those records confidential. The City of Winchester recently passed a memorandum asking that all citizens wear masks. “We never thought about fining them for not wearing a mask,” Rex McIntire, mayor of Winchester, said. “We did want to be able to monitor those who were supposed to be quarantining and were out exposing others.” McIntire said he would not hesitate to fine those who had tested positive and were refusing to quarantine, thus exposing others to the disease. He said he thought Steve Shireman of the Scott County Health Department was onboard with the idea. Sheridan said he was all for it at first, but after checking with legal counsel, was forced to change his mind. Shireman said he feels Scott County residents are not taking the pandemic seriously, and that is why the numbers continue to rise. McIntire agreed and said that was the purpose of the proposed mandate. “Due to the governor's executive order we thought we were within our rights to ask for the records,” McIntire said.
“This office and the Scott County Health Department continues to protect the privacy of their clients and will remain vigilant and dedicated to preserving your right to private and safe medical treatment.”

museum. One of the coolest pieces, however, is the mannequin in the school room, who the staff has named Nellie Thomas. “Nellie was the first mannequin to ever come to Winchester in the 1930s,” Dappert said. “She was used to display clothing in Nellie Lashmett’s department store located on the north side of the square.” Originally the D.D. Watt Department Store, it was purchased in 1933 by Miss Lashmett, who had worked in the store for many years. Nellie Lashmett operated the store until her passing on April 14, 1957. The store was then purchased by long time employee Lois Thomas, who ran the store until 1977, when it was bought by Jean and Walt Wilkins. “The mannequin stood in the store all that time until she found a new home in the OSM,” Dappert said. “She is made of plaster, so I had to (See, REPURPOSE, A2)
Scott County State’s Attorney Mike Hill issued a press release Friday, saying the Scott County Health Department can not release any protected health information including any COVID testing information without having received a proper and binding court order. “This office and the Scott County Health Department continues to protect the privacy of their clients and will remain vigilant and dedicated to preserving your right to private and safe medical treatment,” said Hill in his press release. Hill cited the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPPA) as the basis for his opinion. “I agree with his opinion 100 percent,” McIntire said. “Except what about those who have no regard for my rights, for blatantly exposing others to what could be a fatal disease?” Hill said the Scott County Health Department received numerous phone calls regarding the privacy of medical information “People were concerned,” he said. McIntire referred further questions to the city attorney, John Paul Coonrod, who said he believes information sharing is allowed. He issued a statement to that effect. “The City of Winchester, after discussions with the Scott County Health Department, sent over a framework to the Health Department that would allow the Health Department to disclose positive COVID results to city law enforcement, who would in return report violations of health departmentissued stay at home directives or quarantine orders back to the health department. As a legal matter, state law and written guidance issued by the Illinois Department of Public Health itself are pretty clear that such information sharing is allowed, and if in the future the Health Department and the city want to coordinate in this regard, they can,” the statement read.

(Continued from A1) touch up her face a little bit, but you can hardly tell it.” Dappert said her name is in memory of the former business owners. Also in the school house section is a very large and ornate piano that once provided melodious music in the Exeter Hotel. “Paul Herring got it from someone who lived near Exeter,” Dappert said. “He had it tuned, but evidently it has a cracked block or something that it was going to cost a mint to fix, so we were happy to have it here just for its beauty.” That piano is being used to display two photos of the entire Winchester High School from the classes of 1923 and 1920-21. “We bought the 1923 picture from an auction and when we got back here and got it displayed, the most amazing thing happened,” Dappert said. “Tricia (Wallace) was looking at it and found her mother in the picture. So that was a nice piece of serendipity. Next to her mother is Queenie Peak, who was good friends with her mother.” Moving into what used to be the gym, a mock living room and kitchen have been recreated. Amongst the items in the kitchen is a vintage Hoosier Cabinet, which contains a multitude of other vintage kitchen items. “This is really the most complete Hoosier Cabinet I have ever seen,” Dappert said. “Not only does it still have the sugar and flour bins, but it also still has the paper attached on the doors that it came with that tells you how long to cook meat and the various different flavoring extracts.” The Hoosier Cabinet Company was founded in 1899 to fill a need in older homes which were lacking in
cabinets and storage space in the kitchen. The Hoosier was a wellorganized, compact cabinet and countertop all in one. It remained popular until the 1920s when it became common to have built-in cabinets and other fixtures. During the remodeling of the OSM, some of the wainscoting was removed and several items were found behind it, including a nearly mint piece of old chewing gum, a coin, various chewing gum wrappers children had hidden from their teach-
ers and the prize jewel – a sweater holder, used to hold together a cardigan worn on the shoulders by a girl, which features a spoon on one side and a fork on the other. “We took the wainscoting we removed and used it to build a couple of cabinets that we have in here now,” Dappert said. “One of them holds the old loud speaker system used in the school. I guess you could say this was the ultimate in repurposing in here.”
Right to vote (Continued from A1) Political Equality League, in 1913, women secured the right to vote for the president. But it was still a far cry from equality in voting for women. The Illinois Suffrage Act allowed women to vote for the president, but they were still unable to vote for legislators on both the state and federal level. Full women’s suffrage was not realized until the passage of the 19th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution in 1920. The Illinois Suffrage Act was signed into law by Gov. Edward Dunne on June 26, 1913 and made Illinois the first state east of the Mississippi to give women the right to vote for the president. On May 21, 1919, the House of Representatives passed the Susan B. Anthony Amendment followed by the Senate two weeks later on June 4. Tennessee became the 36th state to ratify the amendment, and on Aug. 20, the amendment was adopted as the 19th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. Susan B. Anthony, for which the amendment was originally named, was arrested for voting in the 1872 election in Rochester, N. Y. for “being a person of the female sex. She was one of several women arrested for illegally voting and fined $100, which she never paid. It would be almost 50 years before her dream of seeing women given the right to vote was achieved. But her arrest proved to be beneficial for the cause as
it angered many people and brought national attention to the suffrage movement. Anthony was a pioneer crusader for women’s suffrage in the U.S. She was president of the National Women’s Suffrage Association from 1892-1900. She was such a staunch supporter of women’s suffrage that she approached Congress to ask for an amendment for women’s suffrage every year from 1869 until her death in 1906 at the age of 86. She never lived to see her dream realized. But Americans, both male and female, realized the importance and sacrifice that Anthony made during her lifetime. The U.S. Post Office issued its first postage stamp honoring Anthony in 1936 on the 16th anniversary of the ratification of the 19th Amendment. A second stamp honoring Anthony was issued in April of 1958. In 1950, she was inducted into the Hall of Fame for Great Americans. That was followed in 1973 by her induction into the National Women’s Hall of Fame. In 1979, the U.S. Mint began issuing the Susan B. Anthony dollar coin – the first U.S. coin to honor a female citizen. The place where Anthony voted in 1872 and was subsequently arrested for doing so now has a bronze sculpture of a locked ballot box flanked by two pillars, was dedicated in 2009 on the 89th anniversary of the rati-
fication of the 19th Amendment. The U.S. Treasury Department announced on April 20, 2016 that an image of Anthony would appear on the back of a newly designed $10 bill. The original plan was for a woman to appear on the front of the $10 bill with Anthony under consideration for that position. The final plan, however, calls for Alexander Hamilton, the first U.S. Secretary of the Treasury to retain his current position there. Designs for the $5, $10 and $20 bills are supposed to be unveiled in 2020 in conjunction with the 100th anniversary of women winning the right to vote. On Aug. 18, 2020, President Donald Trump pardoned Anthony for her arrest in 1872. Visitors to the exhibit at the OSM will be able to see authentic objects, including original banners from the National Women’s Party, a late 18th century ballot box and original writings by influential suffragists, including Anthony. The goal of the exhibition is to deepen the understanding of women’s contributions to the nation and the world. The Old School Museum is located at 110 East Cherry in Winchester and there is not charge for admission to see the display. The museum is open on Friday and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and on Sunday from 1 to 4 p.m.

“As surely as the Lord lives, I can tell him only what the Lord tells me.” 1 Kings 22:14 NIV
W
e tend to think of prophets as people who foretell the future, but that is only one aspect of prophecy. If we read the Old Testament carefully, we see that the prophets were wise men and social critics, people who were often called upon by kings to give them advice. The kings didn’t always like the advice they received, but the good prophets always gave it straight, without sugar-coating, and in speaking the unvarnished truth to power, often ended up in dire straits. Consider the prophet Micaiah, who advised King Ahab that he would be defeated by the Syrians, despite all of the other prophets telling him he would be victorious. (1 Kings 22) Micaiah ended up imprisoned for his
trouble, and King Ahab ended up killed in battle, with the dogs licking up his blood, as prophesied. Are there prophets today, holy men and women who hear the voice of God and speak truth to power, despite negative consequences? The people in power frequently do not like to be told the truth, but that is what prophets do. Where are the prophets today? –Christopher Simon

Child welfare officials say they’re coping during pandemic Virtual visits, phone calls often replacing in-person visits to children in care By PETER HANCOCK Capitol News Illinois Child welfare officials in Illinois told a panel of state lawmakers Monday that the COVID-19 pandemic has hindered but not completely prevented their efforts to monitor children at risk of abuse or neglect. “Without question, the pandemic has been and continues to be extremely challenging for all of us, both personally and professionally,� Marc Smith, acting director of the Illinois Department of Children and Families, told a Senate panel during a virtual meeting Monday. “But everyone who works for, or in partnership with us has kept their eyes on our mission to keep children safe.� Smith said one of the first things DCFS did was to move its child abuse reporting hotline, officially known as the State Central Register, to a remote environment so that employees could answer the phones from their homes. Gayle Hopper, who manages the hotline, said the people who answer those phones have been working remotely since March 23. “The hotline today continues to work remotely and staff are working from home every day,� Hopper said. Hopper noted that there was a sharp decline in the number of reports received from “mandatory reporters� – which are licensed professionals such as teachers and health care workers who are required by law to report cases of suspected abuse or neglect – especially during the early weeks of the pandemic. In response, she said, agency officials reached out to members of the American Pediatrics Association and to the Illinois State Board of Education to instruct doctors and teachers about how to report to the hotline, even when they were only seeing children remotely. By July and August, she said, call volume began to pick up again, even exceeding the numbers reached during the same months in 2019, even though the total number of calls this year is about 18 percent lower than last year. “This can be attributed to the increase of reporting by law enforcement, by the steady reporting of medical professionals, and the community observing or reporting first-hand information of child maltreatment,� she said. Mike Lubelfeld, superintendent of the
North Shore School District 112 in Highland Park, said the pandemic has been challenging for teachers and others who were only able to meet their students remotely this spring. But he said his district has come up with other solutions. “Just out of an abundance of caution, we literally had secretaries, social workers, teacher’s aides and a family specialist double-checking in with children and families, just to make sure everybody was okay,� he said. “So I’m not going to say we’ve had no findings (of abuse or neglect). We have had less. Part of it is because we don’t have control, so to speak, of the kids being with us, but I think that our families do work with us.� Officials with private agencies that provide child welfare services on contract with DCFS said they have faced similar challenges. Bill Steinhauser, president and CEO of Bethany for Children and Families, a social service agency that serves the Quad Cities area, said case workers at that agency are doing what they can to stay in contact with families. “They basically are staying in contact through either FaceTime or Google Meet, but also going out, directly talking to families, practicing social distancing and wearing a mask. It’s kept them all safe,� he said. But Steinhauser noted that Illinois families have suffered unique financial and emotional strains during the pandemic, which has affected children’s welfare. “Our families are experiencing economic stress, and also just not very familiar with being around each other all that often,� he said. “And that stress as well as economic stress are causing our families to do as any other family, which is experience dysfunction. And also they’re trying to escape from the reality of COVID-19. “We’re also seeing an increase in substance abuse, and mental health seems to be aggravated or intensified. And those services, because of where we’re located, are difficult for many families to access.� Monday’s hearing was considered a “subject matter� hearing only, which means the committee was not considering substantive legislation. But the information could become the basis of legislation that the General Assembly could take up during the fall veto session, which begins in November.

First human case of West Nile Virus in Illinois for 2020 reported The Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH) is reporting the first confirmed human case of West Nile virus in Illinois for 2020. A DuPage County resident in her 40s became ill in mid-August. “While we continue to battle the COVID-19 pandemic, we must also remember to take steps to protect our health from other illnesses,� IDPH Director Dr. Ngozi Ezike said. “In an effort to decrease our risk of contracting COVID-19 from indoor settings, many of us are spending more time outdoors while still socially distancing. As we enjoy the outdoors, we need to protect ourselves from other viruses carried by mosquitoes by wearing insect repellent and getting rid of standing water around our homes.� Last year, 46 counties in Illinois reported a West Nile virus positive mosquito batch, bird, horse, and/or human case. For the 2019 season, IDPH reported 28 human cases (although human cases are underreported), including one death. West Nile virus is transmitted through the bite of a Culex pipiens mosquito, commonly called a house mosquito, which has picked up the virus by feeding on an infected bird. Common symptoms include fever, nausea, headache and muscle aches. Symptoms may last from a few days to a few weeks. However, four out of five people infected with West Nile virus will not show any symptoms. In rare cases, severe illness including meningitis, or even death, can occur. People older than 60 and individuals with weakened immune systems are at higher risk for severe illness from West Nile virus.
Precautions to Fight the Bite include practicing the three R’s: Q Reduce: make sure doors and windows have tight-fitting screens. Repair or replace screens that have tears or other openings. Try to keep doors and windows shut. Eliminate, or refresh each week, all sources of standing water where mosquitoes can breed, including water in bird baths, ponds, flowerpots, wading pools, old tires, and any other containers. Q Repel: when outdoors, wear shoes and socks, long pants and a long-sleeved shirt, and apply insect repellent that contains DEET, picaridin, oil of lemon eucalyptus, or IR 3535 according to label instructions. Consult a physician before using repellents on infants. Q Report: report locations where you see water sitting stagnant for more than a week such as roadside ditches, flooded yards, and similar locations that may produce mosquitoes. The local health department or city government may be able to add larvicide to the water, which will kill any mosquito larvae. Monitoring for West Nile virus in Illinois includes laboratory tests for mosquito batches, dead crows, blue jays, robins and other perching birds, as well as testing humans with West Nile viruslike symptoms. People who observe a sick or dying crow, blue jay, robin or other perching bird should contact their local health department, who will determine if the bird will be picked up for testing. Additional information about West Nile virus can be found on the IDPH website.

The buttress of a tree is located beginning at the root flare where the base of the trunk flares out into the root system. How high up the buttress goes depends on the species. For oaks, it may only be two or three foot high. Some tropical trees have buttresses that go up twenty feet! Having the root flare exposed above ground is critical for the long-term health of your trees. Very often trees are planted too deep leading to butt rot. Yes, that is an actual term uttered at arborist conferences and not a single person cracks a smile. This is serious stuff. This year, I’ve seen a lot of injuries occur along the buttress leading to the decline and in some cases death of a tree. It is the buttress and root flare that so often comes in contact with mowers and string trimmers. The tissue conveying water, nutrients, and carbohydrates up and down the tree is right behind the bark and when we sever or damage that tissue it creates an open wound for fungi, bacteria, and insects to access the trunk and then, you guessed it, butt rot. Tree injury is not confined to the buttress. Homeowners deal with gashes caused by squirrels, overly ambitious gardeners with

saws, storms that snap off huge limbs, and so many other errant tree injuries. What type of first aid should we be providing these trees whether it is at the buttress or up in the canopy? Should we seal tree wounds? Humans’ first inclination is dressing the wound by painting it with some type of paint or sealer. After all, it works for us! A scratch on a human form a scab and often new skin tissue forms over top that scab. A bandage helps protect that area while the wound heals. But trees aren’t humans. Believe me, I checked. Trees do not heal wounds. A tree seals off the wound with wound tissue. Wound tissue is different than the original tissue. Once the original tissue is lost in a wound, it is gone for good. The tree responds by developing wound tissue to wall off the injury. Wound tissue is usually smoother and different in color than the normal tissue. Oxygen is critical for the development of wound tissue to seal off a nasty gash in a trunk or branch. By painting wound sealers over the cut or damaged portion of the tree, we are hindering the process for that wound tissue to develop.
Plus, we may be sealing rot organisms against the open wound. Some fungi and bacteria are even attracted to wound sealing materials. All that said there are moments when wound sealing can be employed such as having a large wound on an oak created during the summer which may attract insects carrying oak wilt. Ideally, any intentional wounds to the oak tree should be made in the winter when insects aren’t active. Typically, the recommendation is still to skip the wound sealer and paint the damaged area with an appropriate insecticide or fungicide. So, should we be painting wound sealer on our pruning cuts, mower damage, or storm damaged portion of our trees? In most cases, the answer is “No.� Now it is back to looking at pictures of tree butts. Some jobs have all the perks! Good Growing Tip of the Week: If a gardener feels the need to clean up a tree wound, use sterilized pruning tools to clean up any ragged damaged portions of the tree. Frankly, this is work best suited to a certified arborist.

Winchester a stop on Meniere’s Awareness ride By CARMEN ENSINGER Scott County Times A Colorado man, cycling his way from Denver Colo. to Columbus, Ohio to raise awareness and financial support for Meniere’s disease research, made a two-day stop-over in Winchester Sunday and Monday camping in the parking lot of the Methodist Church. Steve Schwier, 53, was diagnosed with Meniere’s disease when he was 45 years old. The average age when people are diagnosed with the disease is between the ages of 45 and 60, though some do get a diagnosis when they are younger than that. “Meniere’s disease is a syndrome that attacks the inner ear causing vertigo, tinnitus and permanent hearing loss among other symptoms,� Schwier said Monday afternoon. “This is an exceedingly rare but debilitating disease that affects about 600-650,000 people in America, and there is not a lot of research being done on it.� Schwier went from being a sports fanatic to almost permanently bedridden. “I was diagnosed eight years ago, and for the first six or seven of those years, it was very debilitating, and I pretty much couldn’t do anything,� he said. “The worst symptom is the vertigo attacks. I used to get those three or four times a week. It is a full on attack where everything spins, and I would literally be in bed for eight for 24 hours, and then it would take a whole day to recover after that. After having three operations done on my left ear to ease those symptoms, now I have about one attack a month.� In the last year, Schwier said he has learned to manage his symptoms enough to be able to do some things, such as riding a bicycle. “I have poor balance, so some days I use a cane but I try not to unless I absolutely have to. When I walk, I kind of look like I’m drunk, but I found out that I could ride a bike about a year ago,� he said. “I rode my mountain bike a couple times, and it just felt good. It was like I could balance on it and it was a little bit of exercise I could do on my own, and it just made me feel free – like this was something I could still do and enjoy doing.� However, because he gets exhausted really easily and a regular bike takes a lot of exertion to pedal long distances, Schwier was thrilled when he found out about
the E-bike. An E-bike is like a regular bike, but there is also a generator attached to a battery that assists when the cyclist turns the pedals. “Once I discovered E-bikes, that was kinda like opening a whole new can of worms for me,� he said. “With it, I don’t have to exert myself as much, and I don’t get as exhausted from the exertion. I felt like I had found something that would allow me to give something back and raise awareness for this disease.� It is no surprise that Schwier’s wife of 22 years thought he was out of his mind. “I told my wife about my idea about riding across country, and she said I was an idiot,� he said. “That was just her knee-jerk reaction, and she was sure I was going to die before I reached Columbus.� Before he set out on his journey, Schwier took a month to build up his endurance. “Once I decided to do this trip, I started out with 20-mile days and then went up to 30 miles, etc.,� he said. “Then, a couple days before I left, I did a couple of 100-mile days to see if I could actually go that far in a single day. Up to then, I had only ridden a bike maybe five times in the last eight years. I was never an avid cyclist or anything – I just thought this would be a good platform to use to get a bit of publicity to bring awareness to my disease.� Schwier left on his journey from Denver on Sept. 1 with his brother, David, following in a rented van that carried camping gear, bike parts and other essentials to camp for the night. “He usually drives about 20 miles ahead and waits for me to catch up,� Schwier said. “We will drive into a town and look for a campsite or some place to camp for the night. Once a week, we get a hotel room so we can get a hot shower and a good night's sleep in a real bed, and then we hit the road again and camp for the next week until we get another hotel room.� Because of his disease, he must take a day off every three days. “The reason I’m spending two days in Winchester is because I had to rest because my symptoms flare up if I’m going 100 miles an hour non-stop,� he said. “I get dizzy, so I take a day off and just rest all day, and then I start feeling a little bit better and can punch out another three days of riding.� Schwier sent his scouts ahead, which included another brother,
Bryan, and his son, Emmitt, to find a place to spend Sunday and Monday night. “I saw Winchester on the map, and I told them to try there,� Schwier said. “Well, as you know, Winchester isn’t New York City, so there really weren’t many options. They pulled in right as church was getting out and so they went in and asked Pastor Robin Lyons if he minded if we charge a couple of batteries for my bike, and then he went on to explain my story to him.� Lyons was very interested in what Schwier was doing and asked what all he, and the church, could do to help. “They told him it would be great if we could just camp in the parking lot for the night and he is like ‘absolutely – whatever you guys need,’� Schwier said. “He was so generous with his time and with everything. He has become a very good friend in less than 48 hours to all of us.� Schwier has gone about 900 miles so far and has about 460 more to go. “I’m almost two-thirds of the way through the trip,� he said. “I’m planning on pulling into Columbus on Sept. 20, which is my wife’s birthday. Her birthday present is going to be that I didn’t die because she thinks I’m crazy.� It’s not always been easy going on the road. “We ran into some headwinds one day, and for three days I rode in the rain every single day,� he said. “It was just pouring down rain, and the trucks were splashing me, and I had to really concentrate to just keep going and stay safe. It was on Rt. 36, and I had to really keep an eye out and not run over stuff that would pop my tires. It was almost like an obstacle course on the shoulder, so when it was pouring rain it was really hard to concentrate.� In Kansas, he said he rode in 102 degree heat during the day and the next morning woke up to temperatures in the 50s and rain. “The weather change just overnight was insane,� he said. “It was like night and day from one day to the next.� Schwier said he has two main goals – the first to arrive in Columbus safely, and the second one is to meet extraordinary people along the way, such as Lyons. “The people I have met along this trip has made this trip worthwhile in itself,� he said. “Everyday, I’m meeting people like Robin – really kind-hearted people that are helping us out any

way they can. We end up meeting people in little cafes and end up talking for hours. I share my story and they share their stories, and this has been my favorite part of the trip. I love being able to meet all the people I have met so far that I would never have met in a million years had I not started on this journey.� Schwier has a Facebook page which links to a GoFundMe page for people to donate. So far he has raised over $5,000 of his $10,000 goal. “Whatever we raise on this ride, we are going to donate half to the American Hearing Research Foundation in the U.S. and the Deaf to Meniere’s in Europe," he said. The donation to the European foundation is because he has received so much support from outside of the United States. “I have seen people from all
over the world that are following me on social media, so it is not just an American thing,� he said. “I have people following from New Zealand, Iceland and Australia, just to name a few.� His Facebook page is Meniere’s: On the Vertigo and on Instagram: onthevertigo. A link can be found on his social media sites to lead to the GoFundMe page along with the two foundations that the donations will be going to. There is also an address to send a check or money order as well as a Paypal account. “I know there are a lot of worthy causes out there, and I’m not trying to compete with cancer or any other disease,� he said. “There are lots of people with problems – this is just another chronic illness that I ended up getting, and I’m just trying to bring awareness to it because it is not very well known.�
