Propane shortage not a ‘big’ issue yet

By BETH ZUMWALT Pike Press National news indicates propane is in short supply, and while that may be true in northern states, Pike and Scott County aren’t feeling much of a pinch – yet.

A late harvest, wet grain and the fall chill have combined to multiply demand for propane in Iowa and other states, according to agriculture and propane industry officials.

“We’ve been able to cover all of our commitments,” Keith Martin, energy market manager of Prairieland FS. “But it’s been tight.”

Martin said the shortage is the result of a “perfect storm.”

“We had a late planting season, so a late harvest season,” he said. “That means there is a lot of wet crops that had to be dried. Now we are having an early cold snap so the home heating side is picking up and there are pipeline issues that are affecting delivery.”

Record flooding along the Illinois and Mississippi rivers and heavy spring rains delayed planting and now the harvest. The corn crop’s late maturity means it had less time than usual to dry in the field. Corn normally should have about 15-17% moisture, officials said. But the average for

Sheriff’s Department proposes shared Pike County school resource officer

By DAVID CAMPHOUSE Pike Press Three Pike County school districts are in discussions with the Pike County Sheriff’s Department to hire a full-time school resource officer who would be shared between the districts.

Western, Griggsville-Perry, and Pleasant Hill administrators are exploring the possibility of approving the addition of the position as soon as next month according to Pike County Sheriff David Greenwood.

“I would hope to get everything finalized next month,” Greenwood said. “It would be a full-time deputy with each entity sharing a quarter of the cost.”

Griggsville-Perry superintendent Kent Hawley indicated that discussions within each school district and among the partner organizations are ongoing.

“It’s something we’re talking about,” Hawley said.

Superintendent Ron Edwards also indicated Pleasant Hill was in talks about the resource officer position.

“The officer would be shared

“It would be a fulltime deputy with each entity sharing a quarter of the cost.”

David Greenwood Pike County Sheriff between the three schools,” Edwards said.

Many of the logistical issues of sharing one resource officer between three school districts would need to be worked out.

“There are days we’re in session that the other districts aren’t, so it’s not like the officer would be at each school at a set time each day,” Hawley said.

When asked about the reason for adding the resource officer, Sheriff Greenwood emphasized the importance of introducing law enforcement into the lives of students at an early age.

“Most kids don’t have a lot of contact with law enforcement,” Greenwood said. “We want to let them know we’re their friends and not just what they see on television.”

Greenwood also acknowledged the issue of school safety as a motivation for creating the county-wide school resource officer position.

“Obviously the focus of the position is the security of the school, the students, and all the personnel,” Greenwood said.

By BETH ZUMWALT Pike Press When should the city lake be closed and should the areas that remain open be expanded?

The topics were discussed Tuesday, Nov. 5 at the regular city council meeting.

“We have traditionally left the campgrounds open until after the first firearm deer season,” John Hayden, mayor, said. “The water is already turned off out there and the pipes winterized.”

The council discussed the matter and finally agreed the campgrounds could stay open though Nov. 19 as long as the weather is good and maybe longer.

The road situation was a separate subject.

“I get calls from boaters, fishermen, dog walkers and now with the new disc golf tournament, that the lake roads should stay open,” Hayden said.

Most council members were opposed to keeping the lake open to the public all winter, citing damages already done to the grassy areas by motorists doing “doughnuts” in the open areas. One has been apprehended and another’s identity is known and an arrest is pending.

“We have video surveillance out there,” Ed Knight said.

Knight is a proponent of extending the roads that are open. Instead of closing the road near the pine grove on the east side, Knight would like to move the gate to just past the road going to the east boat ramp.

“That way we would have everybody going in and out on video, one way in, one way out; it would accommodate the disc golf course, the boat ramp and there is a full parking lot for drivers to turn around,” Knight said.

“There would be no through traffic or traffic coming in from the north.”

A new gate would be placed just north of the east boat ramp drive.

Hayden asked the council members to drive out to the lake and survey the situation and the council will vote on that and an actual closure date for the campgrounds at the Nov. 19 meeting.

The council did okay Ashli Freesmeyer’s request to have a mud run at the lake April 25. Last year’s run was a big success and Freesmeyer said the only change would be the event will start later.

“Last year we started at 9 a.m. and I think this year we will start at noon,” she said. “The weather will be better.”

Illinois Farmer Phil Bradshaw authors book about the progression of food production

Very little remains of the home of Sheldon and Deb Howland of Nebo after a Monday evening fire. The Howlands were able to escape with only the clothes on their back. A drive to help them with restarting is underway.

House fire claims everything

By BETH ZUMWALT Pike Press Sheldon and Debbie Howland lost their home and all the contents Monday evening during a house fire.

The couple was awakened from sleep about 10 p.m. to the fire. They were able to escape with only a cell phone and what they were wearing. “I had a fire extinguisher,�

Sheldon Howland said. “It was too little, it didn’t even touch it.

I had a bucket and I probably threw seven or eight buckets of water on it, but it was too far gone and I had to get out.�

Spring Creek, Pleasant Hill and East Pike Fire Departments all responded but the frigid temperatures, the wind and the head start of the fire was too much to overcome. “The fire started at the back

of the house,� Trent Crane, Spring Creek fire chief, said. “The wind out of the northwest just drove it across the house.

There was just no stopping it.�

Crane said the single digit temperatures and the 30 m.p.h. winds caused problems for the firefighters. “We had lines that tried to freeze up and equipment that didn’t want to work because of the cold,� he said.

Firefighters were on the scene from 10 p.m. Monday until 5:30 a.m. Tuesday morning.

Sheldon Howland said he couldn’t believe the effort Spring Creek, Pleasant Hill and East Pike put into fighting the fire and said he was very appreciative. “Also, the county came down and put chips on the street where it was slick from

all the water,� he said. “Brent Hubbard came and cut the electricity. Everybody did all they could, but we just couldn’t save it.�

Debbie Howland said the family has had several offers of places to stay and is waiting on the fire marshall’s office and the insurance adjuster. “Right now, we are trying to get our medicines refilled and take care of our daily living,� she said.

The community has organized a drop off spot for donations for the family. Donations and items can be dropped off at the First Baptist Church in Pleasant Hill Mondays, Wednesday and Friday between 9 a.m and 1 p.m. and at Daws Monuments in Pittsfield, Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Local church opens to collect Operation Christmas Child gifts As the holiday season approaches Pittsfield-area families and churches are busy transforming empty shoeboxes into gifts of hope filled with toys, school supplies and hygiene items for Operation Christmas Child.

The Samaritan’s Purse project partners with local churches across the globe to deliver these tangible expressions of God’s love to children affected by war, disaster, poverty and famine. For many of these children, it will be the first gift they have ever received.

This year, area organizers hope to collect 16,975 gifts to contribute to the 2019 global goal of reaching 11 million children in need.

Local families and organizations are invited to join the project by packing shoe-

boxes full of gifts. For more information on how to participate in Operation Christmas Child visit samaritanspurse.org/occ. Participants can donate $9 per shoebox gift online through “Follow Your Box� and receive a tracking label to discover its destination.

Packed shoeboxes may be dropped off during National Collection Week (Nov. 18-25) at Pittsfield Church of the Nazarene.

Collection sites are also available in White Hall and Jacksonville.

Since 1993, Operation Christmas Child has collected and delivered more than 168 million gift-filled shoeboxes to children in more than 160 countries and territories. Each of those gifts began with a single person filling a simple shoebox

By BETH ZUMWALT Pike Press Phil Bradshaw has accomplished many different tasks during his 55 plus years of farming. Now, he can add being an author to that list. “This book was four years in the writing, 80 years in the making,� Bradshaw said.

The book was written using journals that Bradshaw has kept over the years, reports from his experiences with the USDA, the National Soybean Association, Pork Producers and private travels plus thoughts he dictated.

It was written by Tim Meyer of Payson, a former public relations officer with the National Pork Producers.

In the book, Bradshaw shares stories and recollections from a lifetime of farming in this memoir “Your Food - My Adventure: One Farmer’s Journey to Feed the World,� published by Archway Publishing. From driving a small MG car to Mexico City in 1959 to going to the Summit of Americas in 2009, this book celebrates a way of life, highlights the advancement of farming, and reflects on his efforts advocating for agriculture.

Bradshaw’s book recounts numerous journeys while serving as a leader and policymaker, traveling to more than 53 countries, and meeting seven U.S. presidents along the way. “I’m guessing I have traveled more than one million miles to promote agriculture,�

Bradshaw said.

His life story tells how rural America creates a modern food and agricultural system to feed everyone in an increasing world population. “This book provides a his-

torical perspective on how food production has progressed and gives people a better idea of where it is headed in the future,� Bradshaw said. “Lots of misinformation about food and farming exist today.

I hope this book can help sort out the chaff from the wheat and help readers be a better, more informed consumer.� “Your Food - My Adventure� addresses many current issues in agriculture from the trade war with China to animal diseases such as African Swine Fever. In 1978, Bradshaw was a member of the U.S. Agriculture Trade Mission to China. He also spent many years working to eradicate animal diseases such as pseudorabies and foot and mouth disease.

The author reflects on everything from expanding international trade, starting his own career in farming, serving in the Army Reserves during the Cold War, managing his money, and meeting his future wife, Linda Bradburn.

Bradshaw’s list of credentials is lengthy and includes serving as president of three major state and three national agricultural organizations, as well as serving on advisory committees and boards for six U.S. Secretaries of Agriculture.

Bradshaw has been a leader on the international level on animal health and soybean issues. “I went to Romania with the Clinton Administration,�

Bradshaw said. “I thought Bill Clinton was going to get us killed. That is one of the few times when traveling, I have been scared.�

His passion for involvement is all about trying to make people’s lives better. One of Bradshaw’s better known projects includes his work to get

PHIL BRADSHAW the Valley City Twin Eagles Bridges built over the Illinois River. “In the book, I tell what was the real reason behind the five to six year delay,� Bradshaw said. “It’s not what everybody thought it was.�

The book also includes the Pulitizer Prize winning photo of St. Louis Cardinal manager Red Schoendiest and Laura Baker, a Pike County Pork Queen in the early 70s. The photo was taken in St. Louis during one of the Pike County Pork Producer Days at Busch Stadium.

But while Bradshaw hopes to bring back some memories and explain some misbeliefs that have last generations, his real motive in having the book written is to inspire others. “I hope readers will see that you do not have to hold high offices or be rich and famous to have great adventures and help your fellow citizens,�

Bradshaw said. “I was just a poor boy from Pike County.�

Phil and his wife, Linda, have three children, seven grandchildren and four greatgrandchildren and live on their farm near Griggsville in Pike County.

Martin believes the tight supply is a short-term situ-

ation. “I think we are at the tail end of the harvest season,� he said. “One full, good week would wrap it up.�

Martin also pointed out that the supply, demand and price will be based on the type of winter but grain drying should wrap up soon.

Caring for purple martins is a year-round job

By BETH ZUMWALT Pike Press The purple martins have left for the winter, flying south to join thousands of other purple martins before flying on to Brazil for the winter, about a 6,000 mile trip. “Sometimes when they get together, there are thousands of them,� Ben Westfall, a purple martin fan, said. “It looks like a weather phenomena on the weather radar.

This past summer, Westfall had 51 pair of the birds that made Griggsville famous and raised about 250 fledglings out of 350 eggs. “That was at my shop,� he said. “At my house I had 11 pair and raised 40 fledglings.�

Wasteful has only been in the habit of trying to attract purple martins for three years. “It took three years to get them to come to the shop,� he said. “ I’ve had housing up for six years. Some people go their 30-40 years and never get to be a purple martin landlord.�

The martins usually arrive around March 15 and it is often cold and there are few materials to make a nest out of at that time.

The martins will make their own nests in April, according to Westfall. “But in the meantime, they need some help,� he said. “ They will make a nest out of about anything.�

Westfall said if the purple martins like

Hopefully, Westfall’s “tenants� will increase next spring. “I’d like to have 100 pair next summer,� he said. “Brian Fitzgerald had 75 pair this year.�

PCEDC offers small business workshop series

By DAVID CAMPHOUSE Pike Press The Pike County Economic Development Corporation, in partnership with Jim Boyd and the Small Business Development Center (SBDC) from Western Illinois University, is offering a series of workshops for beginning entrepreneurs.

Last year many aspiring entrepreneurs participated in these workshops, which led to the creation of two new businesses in the area. “The series is for people looking to explore a business idea,� PCEDC’s Dallas Theuringer said. “It’s also for people new to business looking to strengthen their skills.�

Jim Boyd, SBDC’s director, will be joining PCEDC throughout this series. Jim has counseled hundreds of businesses and has even owned and operated a few of his own.

He knows the ins and outs of starting, growing, and evolving businesses of all kinds and sizes. He is passionate about helping new entrepreneurs succeed. “Jim Boyd is an entrepreneur who has grown into a business coach,� Theuringer said. “He’s experienced success and the hard parts of business ownership.�

According to PCEDC, starting your own business can be an exciting and rewarding experience. Advantages include being your own boss, setting your own schedule, and making a living doing something you enjoy.

But, becoming a successful entrepreneur requires thorough planning, creativity, and hard work.

This workshop series is designed for all current and aspiring business owners to successfully run and grow their passion. It will include a discussion of tools that can help you evaluate how you will address the challenges and opportunities of entrepreneurship, and will also provide a high-level overview of many key topics related to starting a business.

Chautauqua partners with Griggsville-Perry to encourage reading

By DAVID CAMPHOUSE Pike Press During the 2018-2019 school year, the local chapter of the Chautauqua Literary and Scientific Circle partnered with GriggsvillePerry Middle School to launch a young readers program for students.

Chautauqua is a national reading group founded in New York in the late 1800s. The local “Abby A. Hatch� chapter of Chautauqua was founded in 1882 in Griggsville and currently meets at the Pittsfield Senior Center. “The young readers meet on the second Wednesday of each month from October through April during last period,� G-P librarian Linda Spencer said.

Each monthly meeting involves a book presentation by a member of the Abby A. Hatch Chautauqua chapter. “It’s on a volunteer basis, but students can earn a medallion from Chautauqua when they read 15 books and end up with classroom credit, too.�

Chautauqua’s Kristine Camphouse of Perry approached the school last year to launch the program. “It started last year with 5th and 6th grades,� Spencer said. “So by next year, we’ll have all the grades involved.�

There are currently 31 G-P students involved with the Chautauqua young readers program.

Barry hiring public works crew member

By DAVID CAMPHOUSE Pike Press During the Nov. 4 meeting of the Barry city council, the group approved advertising for a new public works crew member to be hired.

The council also relaxed the requirement that the person hired into the public works position need to reside within Barry.

In other business, the city’s tax levy ordinance was approved unanimously.

A $3,714.85 bid from the Illinois Rural Water Association was approved by the council to conduct an inspection of Barry’s sewer system.

Other operational actions by the council included setting the council’s 2020 meeting schedule and approving the buy-back of employee vacation time.

More money needed for deer donation program The Access Food program, operated by Access Illinois Outdoors, is seeing record breaking numbers of deer donated in Pike County. “This is good news for the food pantries but we need help with funding,� according to Brenda Middendorf, who coordinates the program.

The program needs help in providing much needed meat to local food pantries in the form of generous donations from businesses, individuals and service organizations to avoid possibly having to turn any deer donation away.

Donations will enable the program to continue longer and provide more deer for families in need. As a nonprofit organization, all donations are tax deductible.

Hunters wishing to participate may take their donated deer to Smith Taxidermy, 1311 W Washington, Pittsfield, IL The one pound packages of ground meat will then be delivered to local food pan-

tries for distribution.

To make a donation or for more information, please contact the Access Illinois

Our View SERVICE AND GIVING

Build our community through giving As winter weather sets in and Thanksgiving and the holiday season approach, it is time to think of neighbors near and far and reach out with a helping hand to those in need.

Acts of service and giving make communities stronger.

Many community and faith-based organizations work year-round to ensure our neighbors and those less fortunate throughout the world have food, clothes, and children’s toys.

These efforts are magnified as heating bills increase and the holidays get nearer.

Examples in Pike County are easy to spot.

The Pittsfield Nazarene Church coordinates Operation Christmas Child, which provides toys, clothes, and necessities for third world children.

Access Illinois Outdoors operates the Access Food program, which provides deer meat to local food pantries.

JWCC’s Rotaract Club is conducting a bedding drive for children who lack sufficient pillows, sheets, and blankets.

These are just a few of the groups pitching in to make our community stronger. There are plenty of other food and toy drives throughout the area during this season.

As a community, we need not rely on the holiday season to remind us to be good neighbors and community members.

No matter what month it is, take a moment to check on neighbors, drop food off at a food pantry, donate clothes, or make any other gesture you can to build a stronger community in Pike County.

“Were it left to me to decide whether we should have a government without newspapers, or newspapers without a government, I should not hesitate a moment to prefer the latter.�

Pittsfield native Dobbins named McKendree University president

Daniel Lett, chairman of the McKendree University Board of Trustees, announced today that at the Saturday, Nov. 3, 2019, board meeting, Pittsfield native Daniel C. Dobbins was elected the 33rd president of McKendree University.

Dobbins will take office on Jan. 1, 2020. He succeeds Dr. James M. Dennis, who announced his retirement as president earlier this year and leaves the University after 26 years of service.

Dobbins is presently the president of Fiber Bond Corporation of Michigan City, Ind., a post he has held since 2008. Fiber Bond is the industry leader in the manufacturing of air filtration systems for commercial use in major corporations and hospitals across the U.S. A 1981 graduate of McKendree University with a bachelor’s degree in business administration, Dobbins went on to earn a master’s degree in business administration from Southern Illinois University Edwardsville in 1985.

Immediately following his graduation from McKendree University, Dobbins started his service to his alma mater by providing philanthropic support, a practice he has continued since 1981.

In 1987, he became the president of the McKendree University Alumni Association Board and by virtue of his office, began his service as a member of the Board of Trustees. During his 32 years of service on the Board, Dobbins served as chair of the Resource Development Committee from 1992 to 1998 and served as chair of the Financial Affairs Committee and treasurer from 1998 to 2005. In 2005, he became vice chair of the Board and in 2007, chairman of the Board of Trustees, a position he held until 2015. In 1999, Dobbins received the Peter Akers Award, the most prestigious honor the McKendree Alumni Association bestows on an alumnus. During the 2015 Commencement ceremony, the University conferred on him an honorary Doctor of Humane Letters in recognition of his service and his leadership as board chair. “I view the opportunity to serve McKendree

University as its next president as a continued call to service,� said Dobbins. “I am deeply committed to the mission of this great University and it has been a privilege for me to work on behalf of its students and all of the members of the McKendree community as a volunteer. As I begin this new chapter in my relationship with the University, I am deeply humbled and excited by the opportunity to continue that service as president and I am grateful for the strong and enduring leadership of Jim Dennis, who has left a lasting legacy on which we will have the opportunity to build.�

The Board of Trustees contracted Storbeck Pimentel & Associates of Whittier, Calif., to assist with the search for Dennis’ successor. “The Board is grateful to the members of the Presidential Search Advisory Committee who provided meaningful input into the search for a new president,� said Chairman Lett. “Dan Dobbins’ business acumen, together with his long volunteer service and knowledge of the University make him an ideal candidate to lead McKendree at this time. We were fortunate that early in our process we found an outstanding person with unparalleled passion for the University in our midst,� said Lett as he announced the appointment. “As we make this important transition in the life of the University, we are grateful for the accomplishments achieved as a result of Jim Dennis’ leadership,� said Lett. “He sought to breathe new life and vitality into this institution when he came to the University in 1994—and he has done so by every measure. The McKendree University community has been transformed by his service and we are indeed grateful for his leadership.�

Dobbins, a native of Pittsfield, Ill., and his wife Michaelene (Mickey) are residents of O’Fallon, Ill. Mickey Dobbins is also a 1981 graduate of McKendree University and a donor, volunteer and former employee. They are the parents of one daughter.

The Pike-Scott AITC program visited Pikeland Community School (PCS).

We taught the students all about corn through a video as well as some fun handson activities.

The students learned how corn is grown and what types of food products contain corn. They explored the different types of corn and their many uses.

Students completed a Parts of the Corn Plant worksheet. Where they colored and labeled parts of a corn plant (roots, leaf, ear of corn, husk, tassel, stalk, and silk).

The students made corn origami crafts by folding construction paper into the shapes of an ear of corn.

They also enjoyed a cornthemed snack: candy containing corn syrup as a sweetener or corn starch as a thickener, while Agriculture Literacy Coordinator, Rachel Smith, read the book Corn by Gail Gibbons. Thank you so much PCS, Tracy Allen, Smith, Rhonda Syrcle, and Ashley

'Teal' thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a cure, they will keep on walking

By BETH ZUMWALT Pike Press Jeanne Goodman and a group of family and friends have donned the teal and participated in the Families Run/Walk for Ovarian Cancer in St. Louis for several years. Teal is the â&#x20AC;&#x153;color of ovarian cancer, just as pink is for breast cancer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a national thing,â&#x20AC;?

Goodman said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We attend the one in St. Louis because it is closest. I want to do what i can to support research.â&#x20AC;?

Goodmanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s selection for a good cause did not come randomly. One of her twin daughters, Molly, was diagnosed with the cancer in the early spring of 2011. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was just time for her regular check-up,â&#x20AC;? Goodman said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When she went to the doctor, he asked her how long the lower abdomen had been swollen. She didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know what he was talking about.â&#x20AC;?

Molly was attending ophthalmology school in Memphis, Tenn. and called her mother, telling her the doctors wanted her to have a sonogram. Following the sonogram, it was decided a CAT scan was necessary. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was trying to be reassuring, telling her it was fine,â&#x20AC;? Goodman said.

Steve ( Goodmanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s husband and Mollyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s father) Goodman and Megan, her twin, all went to Memphis for the testing. The results were a worse case scenario.

The mass in Mollyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s abdomen was cancer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They referred us to an oncologist who recommended immediate surgery,â&#x20AC;?

Goodman said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We ran into a snafu with the insurance.

They wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t okay the hospital they oncologist could get her into the fastest.â&#x20AC;?

The Goodmanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s brought Molly back to Pittsfield while the situation played out. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were home for five days and her abdomen became so big, she was uncomfortable, couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go up and down stairs, it was miserable for her.â&#x20AC;?

After five days an opening in the insurance-preferred hospital became available and the same doctors who would have preformed the surgery did the surgery.

The surgery did not go well. As the doctors were removing the tumor, it broke, spreading the cancer throughout Mollyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s body. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everybody was very guarded about what they would say to us,â&#x20AC;? Goodman said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was touch and go for a few days.â&#x20AC;?

Goodman said four doctors got together to create a treatment plan and one doctor in particular wanted the Goodmanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s to â&#x20AC;&#x153;let nature take itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s course.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;If we had done that, she would have been dead in a week,â&#x20AC;? Goodman said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She was so week and sick, there was no way she would have been able to fight back.â&#x20AC;?

Another doctor, who

Goodman describes as having a competitive spirit, told the family there was a mixture of chemotherapy that had been somewhat effective in treating Mollyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s type of cancer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But he said it could also cost her a few days if it didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t work,â&#x20AC;? Goodman said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t live the rest of my life thinking â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;What if we had tried it,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? Goodman said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Molly was in a coma so Steve and I made the decision to try it.â&#x20AC;?

When Molly was first diagnosed, her AFP level was in the 200,000s. It is supposed to be between zero and four.

By the second day of the treatment, a doctor whispered to the Goodmans, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s working. Her numbers are coming down.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;But they were still guarded because she had cancer everywhere, her lungs, everywhere,â&#x20AC;? Goodman said.

Molly spent 10 weeks in Intensive care and another two weeks in a suppression ward with no one in or out.

Only Goodman and Molly were in the room as the doctors did not want her exposed to any germs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The numbers began to drop more and more and they started physical therapy,â&#x20AC;?Goodman said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She had laid in a coma and been so sick for so long, also with a feeding tube, she had to learn to walk, swallow, all types of basic functions had to be re-learned.â&#x20AC;?

Doctors soon began to worry about Mollyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mental state after being in a hospital so long, but with the Goodmans living so far away, were reluctant to let

her come home for a weekend. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our doctor called Illini and Dr. Johnson,â&#x20AC;? Goodman said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;After talking to them, he said he felt much more comfortable with Molly making the trip. The trip was hard on her, but she loved being at home. She was just so weak.â&#x20AC;?

As Molly regained strength and made progress, the doctors became more lenient and she was able to come home more often and for longer periods of time. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She had to have a shot three times a day to boost her immunity,â&#x20AC;? Goodman said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Illini was able to do that and were just great about it.â&#x20AC;?

After a while, Mollyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s case was transferred to St. Louis, to the Siteman Center, much closer to home for the family. And treatments could be given at Illini Goodman had high praises for Illini and the care Molly received there while taking chemo-therapy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Crystal McClintock, Katie Couch, and Sherri White were all so good with her,â&#x20AC;? Goodman said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sometimes Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d leave and they were all younger and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d talk to her about â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;stuffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, boyfriends, fashion, girl talk.â&#x20AC;?

The doctors finally decided by Molly having an identical twin, a stem cell transplant would be the best option. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The stem cell procedure was to be performed Monday morning and we went down Friday for testing and preparation,â&#x20AC;? Goodman said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were paged to the doctorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office at 11, when

we werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t supposed to see him until 2. We just knew it was bad news.â&#x20AC;?

But, it was not.

Tests showed that Mollyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s AFB had dropped significantly and all the â&#x20AC;&#x153;shells of cancerâ&#x20AC;? in her body had either disappeared or opened and were empty of cancer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Steve and I cried ugly tears,â&#x20AC;? Goodman said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were so relieved. The doctor said this was nothing but Divine Intervention and when they called Memphis to share the news, the doctors there said the same thing.â&#x20AC;?

Goodman said Molly has since regained all of her strength, completed her studies and graduated and is now an ophthalmologist in Springfield and her twin, a pharmacist. Both are married and live about 20 minutes apart. Her last AFB was 4.

But to keep the research going, Molly and the rest of her family continue to raise money. All the money raised in St. Louis, stays in St. Louis. Friends and family show up every year to support Molly and her cause. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Her sister-in-law makes all the teal tutus,â&#x20AC;? Goodman said. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;We usually go down the night before and make a party out of it. There are vendors and other amenities all around the course, which is in downtown St. Louis.

Goodman says there is survivors portion of the walk and also one for people who walk â&#x20AC;&#x153;in memoryâ&#x20AC;? of an ovarian cancer member. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I feel so guilty when I see those people,â&#x20AC;? Goodman said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I know how close we came to losing her.â&#x20AC;?
