Commissioners postpone ordinance regarding special service tax

By BETH ZUMWALT Scott County Times The Scott County Commissioners decided Monday afternoon to postpone a vote on the ordinance creating a special service tax to help fund the ambulance service in Scott County.

Commissioner Dan Hatcher made the motion to postpone the vote.

Chairman Robert Schafer said the commissioners had only received a copy of the proposed ordinance earlier that day and would like time to look it over.

The board voted to continue it at least one week.

Bill Linquist attended the meeting and said he had attended the information meeting last Tuesday and look-

ing over the by-laws of the proposed district, feels there should be community members involved . “The community should have a voice,� he said.

He was also concerned that

“It’s a reverse election. Fifty-one percent need to disapprove.�

Bill Linquist chairman of Scott County’s 9-1-1 board and concerned citizen. the plan is to hire EMTs, not paramedics. “If it’s a life threatening call, we will still need to call

ALS,� he said.

His third point was the need for three ambulances. “We can’t staff three,� he said. “ And none are certified as a rescue squad.�

The commissioners took Linquist’s comments under advisement.

If the commissioners put it on the agenda for next week, they have 60 days to have a public meeting. “We have 15 days to put a notice in the paper,� Schafer said. “Then we have 10 days to get cards or letters out to each property owner.�

Schafer said even if the ordinance had been voted Monday, it would be midNovember before the public hearing could be held.

Time to renew flood factors

By BETH ZUMWALT Scott County Times Scott County Assessor Julie Moore is reminding all farmers to renew their flood factors. “The current program ran from 2008-2018, so the flood of 2019 is not even in question,�

Moore said, adding the program was added several years ago when farmers could certify acres that had standing water, ponding, was next to a drainage district.

Moore said if producers can certify crop loss they will qualify for flood factors in accessing their property. The appointments will be held in November and Moore says appointments are needed. “Everything should be documented,� she (See, FLOOD FACTORS, A2)

Bluffs School District approves balanced budget

By CARMEN ENSINGER Scott County Times Bluffs School Board held a combination budget/administrative cap hearing during their September meeting approving a balanced budget in the amount of $2.7 million for the coming fiscal year.

The administrative cap hearing is because the state requires that if an administrator’s salary increases by more than five percent over the previous year the district is required to have a hearing and then request a waiver.

When Superintendent Kevin Blankenship assumed the duties of both Bluffs and Winchester, his salary increased by about 40 percent.

Blankenship said the news came about rather suddenly. “Originally we didn’t think we had to hold one because we were

doing the shared superintendent but then we got a difference of opinion,� he said. “One person at the Illinois State Board of Education said we didn’t have to do it and another one said we did. “We then went to our auditors and one of them said we don’t have to do one and another one said we didn’t have to but we probably should hold one so we did.�

The 40 percent increase will be split evenly between the two districts Blankenship oversees and is still a cost savings to both districts.

The board approved the district’s health insurance with Blue Cross/Blue Shield keeping the current plan and an increase of about four percent over last year.

Also approved was the establishment of a Human Resource Committee for the board.

Buck and Jo’s Too reduces hours

By CARMEN ENSINGER Scott County Times Most of the time when a restaurant decides to reduce its hours of operation it is due to a lack of business, but for Buck and Jo’s Too in Winchester it’s not due to a lack of business it is due to a lack of help.

Originally open Monday through Saturday from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m. and on Sunday from 6 a.m. to 2 p.m., on Sept. 13 new operating hours were established. Now, the popular hometown restaurant closes at 2 p.m. on Monday, Tuesday and Saturday. On Wednesday, Thursday and Friday they remain open until 7 p.m. “It was a tough decision for us to make but one that had to be made,� owner

Dan Burk said. “For the past few years it has been harder and harder to get enough people to run a full-service restaurant. We usually have about 18 to 22 people working on our schedule and we are down to 12.�

Burk said he hated to do it because the business is there – just not the staff to take care of it. “Half of my crew that I do have work full time somewhere else so asking them to work more than their 25 to 30 hours, which is already tough on them, is out of the question,� he said. “Our family and staff have been working to fill in the hours.�

While it might seem odd to close early on a Saturday night, Burk said there was a reason behind that. “When it came to choosing which days to close at

2 p.m. it wasn’t as if there was any day of the week that was particulary slower than the others,� he said. “But on Saturday nights we could hardly get anyone to come in and work.

It was like pulling teeth to get workers so it was kind of a no-brainer to close early on that day.�

Burk operates the restaurant with his sister Lori Duffie. The restaurant was founded in 1994 by their parents, Buck and Jo Burk.

The brother-sister duo took over operation of the restaurant in 2010. The past few years neither has had much time away from the restaurant to spend with their families. “These new hours are also going to allow us to get away and spend more time with our families outside of the restaurant,�

LIFE ONLY GETS BETTER WITH AGE, LIKE FINE WINE M

y hunting vehicle is a 1995 NisVDQ 3DWKÀQGHU For the past 3 or 4 years, I have been thinking how that anytime, it is going to bite the dust. I am the second owner.

Its first owner totaled it in a wreck years ago, and I bought it from the insurance company.

It was salvageable so it became my son’s first vehicle. Many of the cosmetic parts that should have been replaced were simply beaten back into submission.

We only fixed or replaced that which was absolutely necessary for it to run safely. After a few years of good service, my son moved into a car (not literally, but I thought about it sometimes), and I made the Pathfinder a full-time hunting and fishing vehicle.

Since that time, it has eaten two transmissions and was “retotaled” when a deer ran in front of it. And that doesn’t include how I went for a couple of years without any dash lights working and the headlights would only work on dim.

Finally, I got that fixed but now there

is a big hole in the floorboard that has given way to rust. The good news is, the engine runs, the air-condition unit only needs to be refilled with Freon every other year, and as long as I smell oil, I know it’s not dry.

I think it can make it one more year (I do need some tires though – used of course).

Did I mention I’m having a birthday this week?

Really don’t know what made me think of that. But on second thought, my Pathfinder and I do have a lot in common. I can imagine years ago when its original owner let Metallica rip through its cassette player. Today, Metallica is driving. He has silver in his hair, gold in his teeth, and lead in his butt.

And while me and my little SUV may be consistent, we also need to make sure we stay in the slow lane.

You ask, what about the dings and scratches? Well, the dings have given both of us character and the scratches are bookmarks that serve as reminders for some great stories; stories that new

Hours

(Continued from A1) Burk said. “This allows us to be home three evenings a week now without having to worry about anything here at the restaurant. This kind of helps us to get our minds a bit more fresh. And keeps the driving going. We are also going to try to do a few different things around the building to help improve it in our downtime.”

Burk said last year once a month they would have a special dinner on Sunday evenings. They are currently working on doing something similar, maybe on a Monday night.

“It is easier to bring in two or three people a night to work once a month as opposed to every week,” he said. “So that is something we are working on getting up

Tax and running.”

Burk also said it is very different being at home three evenings a week.

“Most of the time we were here at the restaurant and just grabbed something to eat before we went home,” he said. “Now, we find ourselves at home and there are no groceries so we have to find something to eat – so it’s a bit different. We are in the same situation as a lot of our customers now.”

Burk said he hopes the customers understand.

“We are very fortunate to have such a great community and we sincerely appreciate the support it has given us,” he said. “The change in hours allows us to stay open and give our customers a place to come to everyday.”

Budget (Continued from A1) “They will focus on human resources, basically hiring and firing,” Blankenship.

“They (the board) know we have a teacher shortage and we know we are going to have to increase minimum wage. They will also look at employee evaluations and

Flood factors (Continued from A1) said. “They need two proofs of flooding: photos, crop insurance claims, actual production history reports. loss appraisals or disaster payment records from the Farm Service Agency. They need two of any of those.”

“It can’t be just a low spot in the field,” Moore said. ‘“It has to be flood factor. “

and shiny can’t offer.

I’m getting to the place, however, where parts cost more than the vehicle is worth.

Oh yeah, my candles this year will probably cost more than the cake.

Maybe the comparisons are endless, but there is one thing I know – some things only get better with age and it’s not only wine. It’s those who have let God guide their path. A long time ago I knelt in recognition of the one who would direct my steps. I still kneel today. The only difference is, I look around while I’m kneeling, to see if there is anything else I need to do while I’m down there.

(Continued from A1) “We may be looking at January,” he said.

Linguist reminded the board, the number of people who show up and disapprove of the ordinance is what counts.

“It’s a reverse election,” he said. “Fifty-one percent need to disapprove.”

Once the public meeting is held and should the matter pass, property owners have 60 days to circulate petitions to stop the ordinance from going into affect.

Accident (Continued from A1) The vehicle left the right side of the roadway, overturning several times, and ejecting Nunes. Nunes was not using his seatbelt at the

development and those types of things. The main goal is to see what we could do to attract teachers to the district.”

The board also approved the FFA trip to the National Convention in Indianapolis on Oct. 29 through Nov. 1.

Letter to the editor Supporting dementia research My story is not rare, as I was one of millions of people that became a caregiver to a person with dementia.

My mother, Ethel Shive, was diagnosed in 2003, and my father, Dick Shive, was diagnosed ten years later. Mom lived with the disease eight years after diagnosis, and Dad lived with the disease four years after diagnosis.

I am keenly aware of the emotional, physical, and financial toll this disease takes. I watched Mom and Dad slowly fade, losing their memory, losing their independence, and struggling on this “journey.” I want to spare this hardship for other families.

For these reasons, I have asked my elected officials to prioritize this vulnerable population. Increased research funding is vital, but so too are enhanced care and support services for individuals and their caregivers. Thank-

fully, my congressman, Darin LaHood, is taking an active stance on this issue by co-sponsoring the bipartisan Improving HOPE for Alzheimer’s Act (H.R. 1873) and YoungerOnset Alzheimer’s Disease Act of 2019 (H.R.1903).

The two bills are critical to improving access to resources and enhancing quality of life for those affected by Alzheimer’s and other dementias.

Please join me in thanking Representative LaHood for ensuring that Alzheimer’s is brought to the forefront of the congressional agenda.

Together, we have the opportunity to help those struggling with this terrible disease until a prevention or cure is found. For more information, please visit alzimpact.org. Thank you!

Then the lantern was set sail on the lake in the fairground area it was real cute the way some of the children painted their own lantern and watched it

set sail across the water.

There was several game areas with different games for the families to participate in. It was a nice family outing. It is great to have more things for the whole family to do together it lets the children know they are loved.

Last Week`s Trivia - -Crocodile tears are an insincere display of emotions Crocodiles cannot cry tears because they have no tear ducts however they do have a gland that secretes fluid to lubricate their eyes when they are out of water for a period of time, like when they are eating prey they have killed. This led to the ancient belief that they were crying for their victim which is hypocritical.

State seeks snowplow drivers The Illinois Department of Transportation today renewed its call for qualified individuals to step forward and apply for seasonal positions to help with snow-and-ice removal across the state. Through the department’s annual “snowbird� program, temporary snowplow drivers are hired every year on a full-time and on-call basis. “Snowbirds are a critical part of our overall effort to clear roads and keep Illinois moving during snow-and-ice season,� said Acting Illinois Transportation Secretary Omer Osman. “Not only does the job perform an essential public service and ensure safe travel, but it’s a great way to earn extra money during the winter months.�

Snowbirds are required to promptly

respond to emerging weather situations for snow-and-ice removal and stay prepared to work in emergency conditions at any time, including nights, weekends and holidays.

Applicants must have a commercial driver’s license and submit to a criminal background check. A pre-employment physical, vision testing, and drug and alcohol screening also are required. Veterans are encouraged to apply. In rural areas, farmers and agricultural workers have historically filled out the snowbird ranks.

Applicants will be selected based on availability, job-related experience and qualifications. For additional information, contact IDOT.

Illinois offering tax amnesty Illinois taxpayers who incurred tax liabilities between July 1, 2011 and June 30, 2018 may be eligible for a one-time tax amnesty program.

Beginning Oct. 1, eligible taxpayers who pay their eligible tax liabilities in full will have associated penalties and interest waived.

Taxpayers have until Nov. 15, to make a full payment on their liabilities and file the required paperwork with the Illinois Department of Revenue (IDOR). “Now is an excellent opportunity for taxpayers with tax liabilities to pay what they owe and come into compliance with the law,� David Harris, Illinois Department of Revenue acting director, said. “By taking advantage of this amnesty program, taxpayers can eliminate any eligible tax debts owed, without penalty or interest.

This allows them to have a clean tax slate with the State of Illinois. The Department of Revenue is committed to achieving a tax system where everyone pays their fair share and citizens can trust they are treated equitably. This one-time amnesty program helps us achieve that goal,� Harris said.

During budget negotiations this year, Governor J.B. Pritzker proposed a tax amnesty program for taxpayers who have state tax liabilities, and the General Assembly agreed to include the

program as part of this year’s fiscal budget. The Governor’s Office of Management and Budget estimates the tax amnesty program will recover $175 million in outstanding tax liabilities.

To participate in Illinois’ Tax Amnesty Program, taxpayers must pay all outstanding tax on an amnesty qualifying period in order to have eligible penalties and interest waived.

Taxpayers who failed to file during the original filing period will need to file an original return in addition to making full payment of tax due. For taxpayers who want to report changes to previously filed returns, an amended tax return and full payment of tax due are required.

The tax amnesty program includes most types of tax liabilities and penalties, but excludes taxes not collected

by IDOR, such as property or local government taxes, and some fees, such as bad check fees and outside collection agency fees.

IDOR is in the process of mailing notices to certain eligible taxpayers listing their liabilities and giving instructions on how to pay. Phone calls should be directed to the number listed on the taxpayer’s notice. Taxpayers, including those who do not receive a notice from IDOR, seeking additional information should visit IDOR’s Tax Amnesty web page located at tax.illinois.gov.

Live Dangerously “In the same way, those of you who do not give up everything you have cannot be my disciples.�

Luke 14:33 NIV

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

The advice to live dangerously is not meant to suggest that we should stop wearing seatbelts or taking our prescribed medicine, but rather that we should take some risks which might transform our lives for the better. “Nothing ventured, nothing gained� is as true in the stock market as it is in our everyday lives, and especially in our spiritual lives. The patriarchs and prophets of the Bible never lived lives of comfort and security. They were sojourners in strange lands, warriors for the Lord, and men and women who took great risks precisely because of their devotion and obedience to God. Consider Jesus’s instructions to the twelve disciples when he sent them out to proclaim the Kingdom of God: “Take nothing for the journey—no staff, no bag, no bread, no money, no extra shirt.� (Luke 9:3 NIV) Definitely not advice for a safe and well-planned trip, but it is exactly what one would expect if one has totally surrendered him- or herself to God. Throughout the Gospels,

Jesus frequently sounds like he is trying to dissuade people from following him, saying, for example, “You must take up your cross and bear it.� What Jesus appears to be saying here, and in countless other places, is that devotion to God comes at a cost, and often a very high cost. Life was never meant to be easy, and even less so for those who choose to devote themselves to God. – Christopher Simon

By DAVID CAMPHOUSE Scott County Times Approximately 350 high school students converged on John Wood Community Collegeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s (JWCC) ag center near Perry Friday, Sept. 20.

The JWCC ag alumni association hosted the groupâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 16th annual livestock judging event on the 20th, attracting students from as far away as Memphis, Missouri and Clinton, Illinois. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This event helps highlight our students and our facility,â&#x20AC;? Ag Faculty Chair Mike Tenhouse said.

Twenty-seven school districts from Illinois and Missouri were represented in the livestock judging competition, including many local schools.

The participating high school students judged goats, sheep, swine, and cattle â&#x20AC;&#x201D; which were made available for the competition by local livestock producers. In addition, students had the opportunity to view the ag center facilities.

Griggsville-Perry ag teacher, and Pike County native, Evan Sheppard brought a team of 11 students to the competition. Sheppard believes ag education is crucial to Pike County. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are ag jobs everywhere in Pike County,â&#x20AC;?

Sheppard said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Even if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re more urban, everybody eats and everybody wears clothes, and it helps you understand what is in your food and what you wear.â&#x20AC;?

Approximately 350 high school students took part in the JWCC Ag Alumni Associationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 16th annual livestock judging event near Perry. Scott County students took part in the competition, along with students from 27 districts throughout central Illinois and northeast Missouri.

ics â&#x20AC;&#x201D; including construction, veterinary technology, horticulture, agronomy, animal science, mechanics, and conservation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Well over half of Griggsville-Perry students are in ag,â&#x20AC;? Sheppard said.

Sheppard indicated that the livestock competition fits in neatly with GriggsvillePerryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s agriculture curriculum. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s so close to the beginning of the year, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a great way to introduce students to the art and the science of livestock evaluation,â&#x20AC;? Sheppard said.

JWCC also views the livestock judging event as an opportunity to show local high school students that there are opportunities to pursue an agriculture education locally. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want the students here, to show them what weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got right in their back yards,â&#x20AC;?

JWCC ag alumni president Amanda Obert said.

Trout season opens Oct. 19

The 2019 Illinois Fall Trout Fishing Season opens Saturday, Oct. 19 at 57 ponds, lakes, and streams throughout the state.

According to Blake Ruebush, District Fisheries Biologist with the Illinois Department of Natural Resources, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Fall Trout Season will occur at Siloam Springs State Park this fall.

There will be no trout season at King Park.â&#x20AC;?

In recent years, local fishing enthusiasts have enjoyed a trout fishing opportunity at the lagoon in Pittsfieldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s King Park. This year, the nearest opportunity will be in Adams County.

An early opportunity at select trout sites â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the Fall Catch-and-Release Fishing Season â&#x20AC;&#x201C; will open Oct. 5 at select locations. No trout may be kept during the catch and release fishing period, but anglers can keep trout after the opening of the regular season beginning Oct. 19.

The Illinois catchable trout program is funded by those who use the program through the sale of Inland

Trout Stamps and through the Illinois Fish Management Fund.

The IDNR has added one new site for Fall Trout Fishing in 2019 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Kaufman Lake in Champaign â&#x20AC;&#x201C; maintaining the stocking of rainbow trout to 67,000 fish in the fall season. Rock Springs Pond in Decatur will be temporarily removed from stocking due to a maintenance project at that site.

No trout may be taken from any of the stocked sites from Oct. 1 until the fall trout season opens at 5:00 a.m. Oct. 19. Anyone attempting to take (harvest) trout before the legal harvest season opening will be issued citations.

All anglers â&#x20AC;&#x201D; including those who intend to release fish caught before Oct. 19 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; must have a valid fishing license and an Inland Trout Stamp, unless they are under the age of 16, blind or disabled, or are an Illinois resident on leave from active duty in the Armed Forces.

The daily catch limit for each angler is five (5) trout.
