West side revitalization gives square new life

By BETH ZUMWALT Pike Press Three business owners are scrambling to get their stores open for Thursday night’s Ladies Night Out in Pittsfield.

Jessica Guthrie is working on Pike County Mercantile, which will be in the center portion of the former Red Dome, and Kaci LIpcaman is moving her Backroads Lace into the north section.

To the south, in the former Jack and Jill building, a new clothing store for children, Layla Bug Boutique, owned

by Leah Wilke is shaping up. The boutique was formerly located in the Summer Hill Antique Mall.

“We just outgrew our space,” Wilke

said. “We opened last year during the Fall Pickin’s Days and it has really taken off.”

The shop will sell sizes newborn to girls size 8 with a few boys things.

Eventually, Wilke hopes to add up to size 14 for both boys and girls.

“It’s very exciting to be here with Backroads Lace and Pike County Mercantile, in a building everybody remembers as being a children’s clothing store,” Wilke said.

According to Wilke, the store will be open tomorrow for Ladies Night Out and will be further along for Small Business Saturday, Nov. 30. Wilke says she hopes to have a grand opening, Dec. 6, along with Pike County Mercantile and Backroads Lace.

Jessica Guthrie said her venture, Pike County Mercantile, has 10 vendors so far and includes art, food products, Bee Keeper, furniture, photography, artists and other merchandise that has to do with Pike County or is made in Pike County.

I’ve thought about this for a long time and with my husband coming home, it just seemed like the perfect time,” she said. Her husband, Rodney Guthrie, retired from the military a few years ago and then was hired back as a private contractor working in Saudi Arabia the last few years. He will be on site most days, while Jessica does the marketing and finding merchandise for the business.

Backroads Lace, owned by Kaci

Lipcaman, is moving to the larger location from the south side of the square.

She purchased the business approximately one year ago.

“I never dreamed we would outgrow our space in the first year,” Lipcaman said, adding that a good portion of her business is on-line sales.

“This building holds so much charm and numerous memories for so many people in Pike County and surrounding area. Backroads Lace is excited to be a part of creating new memories and experiences, hopefully, for some of those same people.”

The store sells trendy and classic clothing and accessories.Clothing is available in sizes extra small adults to 3X.

Annual ‘Girls Night Out Pittsfield FFA collects more on the Square’ Nov. 7 than 10,000 votes

By DAVID CAMPHOUSE Pike Press The 10th Annual “Girls Night Out on the Square” in Pittsfield is scheduled for this Thursday, Nov. 7, from 4-8 p.m.

There are a number of new businesses participating this year. Several businesses will have third-party vendors inside their business with even more items to explore and purchase, and many will feature specials for the event.

“We have new fall inventory that is half off just for girls’s night and a door prize at the conclusion of the night,” Debbie Roseberry of Casteel’s said.

“It’s going to be cold, but when we were in Chicago shopping for the boutique, we found a number of new winter wraps and jackets.”

This event supports businesses in Pittsfield and all of Pike County. It has grown from 20 or 30 participants the first year to over 680 registered participants last year.

“Last year we had participants from over 50 different communities,” Pike County Chamber of Commerce director Kaye Iftner said.

Bob and Susan Pitchford of J. Roberts Jewelers set up champagne glasses in preparation for the 10th annual Girls Night Out on the Square which takes place Thursday, Nov. 7 in Pittsfield. Two patrons will receive ~$1,000 diamond rings at the bottom of their champagne glasses.

“Our mission is attract people to the square and downtown to get them into businesses they might not normally visit.”

Harpole’s Heartland Lodge has generously donated the grand prize which includes a stay at the lodge. Ladies will gain entries into the grand prize drawing by visiting each business and will gain additional

entries for each $15 purchase they make at a participating business.

“There are more businesses participating this year, and we’re radiating out further from the square,” Iftner said.

By BETH ZUMWALT Pike Press The Pittsfield FFA Chapter is not only first in the nation, they are first to be first.

The organization won a competition over the weekend, sponsored by Showtime Magazine, a Colorado publication aimed at those who show animals. Pittsfield won the inaugural competition for best FFA over the weekend after the magazine promoted an on-line competition for best video.

More than 50,000 votes were cast for Pittsfield over the seven day competition, which included three rounds of voting. Pittsfield won over Felicity Franklin, Ohio in the first round, Bradley, Tenn. in the second round and Kingfisher, Okla. in the final round. More than 20,000 votes were cast in the championship round with Pittsfield winning, 50.4 percent to Kingfisher’s, 49.6.

“For a community like Pittsfield to get more than 10,000 votes, we are humbled and very grateful for the support from the community,” Jodi Heavner, FFA advisor, said. “We were at the National Convention and asked people to vote for us and I know all over the community people were urging others to vote.”

The competition started Oct. 25. All chapters wanting to enter had to submit a two-minute video or less telling and showing why their chapter was the best. In the end, there were 8 top finalists and 19 honorable mentions.

“We made a video showing why our chapter is the best chapter,” Drew Welbourne, an FFA member, said. “Sadie Ruble of the yearbook staff filmed it for us, but our whole chapter participated.”

JWCC achieves highest enrollment percentage in 10 years

By DAVID CAMPHOUSE Pike Press This fall John Wood Community College enrolled the highest percentage of graduates from high schools in the southeastern portion of its district in 10 years.

Thirty-six percent of 2019 graduates from Bluffs, Griggsville-Perry, Meredosia, Pittsfield, Pleasant Hill and Western High Schools enrolled at JWCC. The six high schools had a combined 163 graduates and 58 enrolled at JWCC. In the last decade John Wood’s market share in the region has ranged from 24 to 36 percent, with a10-year average of 28 percent.

“John Wood is committed to serving the southeastern portion of its district, so to see that more high school students are choosing to enroll with us indicates that they value the quality and accessibility

of education we provide to help them start their bachelor’s degree or train for the workforce close to home,” Diane Vose, JWCC manager of regional centers shared.

According to Western schools guidance counselor Stefanie Rennecker, JWCC has made a concerted effort to reach out to Western and other Pike County schools.

“They’re here a lot,” Rennecker said.

“There is a dual credit coordinator assigned to the high schools getting information out to kids from the first day.”

Western High School offers JWCC’s basic welding certificate to students, in addition to other dual credit opportunities through the College.

“We’re more intentional about holding events in that area and at the Southeast Education Center,” JWCC admissions director Kristen Ritterbusch said.

“We talk about college in general and paying for college. It’s not just a sales pitch.”

Students can take classes at one or more of JWCC centers serving the southeastern portion of its district, which includes all of Pike County and portions of Cass, Morgan, and Calhoun counties.

JWCC’s Southeast Education Center is located outside of Pittsfield, the Agricultural Center is in Baylis, and students also attend the Mt. Sterling Education Center and Quincy campus.

JWCC expanded its programs and services in the region in 2017 when it opened the Southeast Education Center located at 39637 260th Ave in Pittsfield.

The facility offers classroom and online instruction through which students can obtain the first two years of a bachelor’s degree. Students may also take

High dose flu vaccine for seniors now available

By DAVID CAMPHOUSE Pike Press Although there was a shortage of the high dose flu vaccine recommended for adults 65 and over earlier in the flu season, Pike County Health Department now has the high dose vaccine available.

An adult flu vaccination clinic will be held Wednesday, Nov. 6 at the Pike County Health Department, 606 W. Adams Street, Pittsfield from 9-4:30 pm. The clinic will run through the lunch hour. “CDC (Center for Disease Control) recommends everyone 6 months of age and older get vaccinated every flu season,�

Pike County Health Department RN Nancy Halpin said. “The number one complication of the flu is pneumonia, so getting a flu shot is also a way to prevent pneumonia.�

Signs are posted outside the health department to assist flu vaccination clinic patients with parking and directions.

For those unable to get out of their car, a drive-up service at PCHD is available. For

shut-ins, Pike County Health Department Home Health nurses can come to your home and administer the flu vaccination. Please call the health department at 285-4407 for these services.

Halpin indicated the 2019-2020 flu season may be a severe one. “Australia has seen a rough flu season, and this often is a predictor of similar disease in the United States,� Halpin said.

The cost of the influenza vaccine at the Pike County Health Department is $35.

Cash, checks or credit cards are accepted.

Insurance billing for most private insurance plans is available again this year. Medicare and medicaid recipients will incur no cost.

Flu vaccination is also available at the health department on a walk-in basis. No appointment is necessary. Hours are 8:30 a.m.-5 p.m., Monday through Thursday. The Health Department is closed to the public on Fridays and will be closed Monday, Nov. 11 and Thursday, Nov. 28.

For more information, contact Nancy Halpin, RN, at Pike County Health Department, 285-4407, ext. 124.

JWCC Rotaract Club and Sleep Temporary lane closures expected on new in Heavenly Peace sponsor Champ Clark Bridge during dismantling children’s bedding drive

By DAVID CAMPHOUSE Pike Press The John Wood Community College Southeast Education Center‘s Rotaract Club is collecting new twin size sheets, pillows, blankets, comforters and mattress covers to help children in need. “We’re collecting bedding from now until the end of the year,� JWCC Southeast Education Center manager Diane Vose said. “You can bring your donations to the front desk.�

The bedding drive is a collaboration with the non-profit organization, Sleep in Heavenly Peace (SHP), based in Liberty. SHP constructs bunk beds for children who do not have their own bed to sleep in each night.

The organization’s goal is to distribute 15,000 bunk beds.

The Liberty chapter of SHP serves children and families in Pike, Brown , and Adams counties, as well as neighboring counties in northeast Missouri.

According to SHP Liberty president, and Liberty Christian Church pastor, Darren Funk, the chapter was established in January 2019 and has built and distributed 116 beds to date.

Applications for the SHP program are available through the organization’s website — www.shpbeds.org/ request-free-twin-bunk-bed.

“It’s a very unobtrusive application.� Funk said. “We want to know if the recipient is between three and 17-years-old and doesn’t have a bed or is sleeping in an uncomfortable situation.�

Funk said that the majority of SHP beds have been delivered to residents of Quincy, and his hope is that the JWCC bedding drive will help raise awareness of SHP in Pike County. “Our reach hasn’t been huge down there,� Funk said of SHP’s involvement in Pike County.

Donations can be dropped off at the the following JWCC centers: JWCC’s Quincy campus (1301 South 48th Street); Southeast Education Center (39637 260thAvenue, Pittsfield); JWCC Agricultural Education Center (37803 Highway 104 in Baylis); and Mt. Sterling Education Center (108 N. Capitol).

Rotaract clubs bring together people ages 18-30 to exchange ideas with leaders in the community, develop leadership and professional skills, and have fun through service. In communities worldwide, Rotary and Rotaract members work side by side to serve their communities.

More information is available by contacting Jaclyn Baker, JWCC Southeast Education Center specialist, at 217.641.4570 or jbaker@jwcc. edu.

The next step in the removal of the old Champ Clark Bridge is to begin dismantling the first span over the railroad tracks on the Missouri side. “We are awaiting all the necessary approvals to implode the Illinois side spans, and in order to keep progressing with the removal, we will work on this span next,� explained Missouri Department of Transportation Project Director Keith Killen.

The work is scheduled for Tuesday, November 5, Wednesday, November 6 and Monday, November 11, weather permit-

ting.

The truss of the bridge span will be removed in segments. “Our contractor will cut sections of the old bridge, then use a barge mounted crane to place the sections on a barge,� Killen explained. The lane restrictions are necessary to allow crews to access the cut points on the old truss. “There are three segments being removed that will require the lane restrictions, but when we get to the final segment, we will actually have to stop traffic for up to an hour because of

the size of the segment,� Killen noted.

He added that because the size of that segment, it is safest for the traveling public to not be on the new bridge. The one-hour closure is tentatively scheduled for Monday, November 11, a time is to be determined.

Killen stressed the work could be delayed due to weather, especially wind. Updates will be provided as work progresses.

Information will be distributed as soon as the date is known for the demolition of the last two spans.

also acclaims many of the awards and holders of high offices within the state organization the chapter had produced. It even includes a cameo from State Representative C.D.Davidsmeyer touting the virtues of the club.

Kurtis Johnson said the whole club worked on the ideas for the video and the narrative that is read in parts of the presentation. He also appears in the video and said the video puts all in perspective exactly what FFA does and gives credit to Sadie Ruble for putting it all together, as well as the school

for backing the chapter. Ironically, Ruble is not an FFA member but volunteered to help the chapter. “The whole school was really behind us,� he said.

Showtime Magazine will be at Pittsfield High School soon to award the prizes earned by the win.

Every one of the 138 FFA members will received a t-shirt, stickers, a subscription to the magazine, as well as the opportunity to meet the staff of Showtime and talk about graphics and videos. The chapter will also be featured in a story in an upcoming magazine.

FFA (Continued from A1) Cody Bradshaw, also a FFA member, said the social media contest for all FFA chapters was a challenge to the Pittsfield FFA, which is no stranger to winning. “We came up with ideas and she filmed them for us,� Bradshaw said. “We wanted to show how cool our chapter is.�

The video contains one word testimonials from FFA members explaining why FFA is important to them - family, education, new friends, tradition, leadership, shin-digs and contest. The video

Perry’s Mervin Woods documents time in service with photos

By DAVID CAMPHOUSE Pike Press Mervin Woods graduated with the Perry class of 1938 and enlisted in the Army Air Corps in 1939, just prior to World War Two. Woods spent the duration of the war as an aerial photographer in Central/South America as well as Asia.

The assignment of an aerial photographer was to record enemy troop and ship movements, which Woods did.

He also took the opportunity abroad with the Army to record the lives of his camp-mates — as well as the lives of the local residents in Central America, South America, India, and China, where he served.

Through his photography, Woods showed an obvious affinity for his compatriots and the members of the communities in which he found himself.

Woods enlisted in the Army Air Corps at Chanute Field in Rantoul. He underwent basic training at Belleville’s Scott Field and completed training in the Army’s photo school.

A soldier leans against a sign showing the distance from Albrook army base in Panama to different international locations.

In the fall of 1941, Woods embarked for Trinidad and South America. Much of the next two years he spent in British Guiana — monitoring Caribbean shipping lanes and axis threats to the Americas.

Then, on furlough to Pike County in 1943, Woods married Gwendolyn Brim, Woods’s high school sweetheart.

Upon his return from furlough, Woods spent the majority of the remainder of the War in India and China.

Woods was discharged Oct. 1, 1945, after six years and nine days in the Army.

Outside of a medically necessary Air Evac flight, Woods declined to fly after his service with the Army Air Corps.

Mervin Woods’s younger brother, PFC Chauncey Woods, also served during WWII and was killed in France in 1944.

Cast members of the Western Drama Club’s presentation of ‘The Brothers Grimm Speculathon’ include, front row, left to right, Emily Depke, Layne Wood, Kara Puffenberger, Matthew Depke. Second row, Aubree Dunker, Mallory Martin, Gabriel Hodges. Also in the play is Ollivia Vincent.

With the Christmas season right around the corner, The Salvation Army is once again looking for volunteers to ring bells at red kettle locations in Quincy, Hannibal, and the surrounding area. Kettles with silent bells (unmanned) historically bring in fewer donations than kettles with bells that are being rung. Volunteers can sign up online at www. registertoring.com for shifts as short as two hours, or they can “Adopt-A-Kettle� for a day using the same website.

In addition to volunteer positions, paid positions are also available this Christmas. Paid positions are considered part-time, temporary, and shifts are available from the first day of kettles starting Friday, Nov. 8 and lasting through Tuesday, Dec. 24. Applications for these positions are available at The Kroc Center, located at 405 Vermont Street in Quincy.

Applications are also available at The Salvation Army Family Store in Hannibal, located at 200 Steamboat Bend Shopping Center. “Bell Ringers are vital to The Salvation Army’s Christmas campaign,� said Volunteer Coordinator Jeremy Koren. “The Salvation Army greatly appreciates

every person, family, civic group, troop, and team who volunteers to ring bells during the holiday season. In addition to the volunteers, we always enjoy spending the Holiday season getting to know our paid bellringers, and building relationships with people in our community.�

The bell ringing season begins on Friday, Nov. 8 and will end Tuesday, Dec. 24.

The hours for bell ringing are Monday through Friday 10 am - 8 pm in Quincy and 11 a.m. - 8 p.m. in Hannibal and Saturdays 9 a.m. - 7 p.m. in both Quincy and Hannibal.

Our View SHOP LOCAL

Support local businesses this holiday season As we approach the 2019 holiday shopping season, PittsďŹ eld will hold its 10th Annual Girls Night Out Thursday, Nov. 7 to showcase retailers, restaurants, and other businesses on and around the Pike County Courthouse square.

The struggles of the retail sector are easy to spot, even in larger communities. Witness the near-empty mall in Quincy or the closure of Best Buy stores and the Shopko chain.

Fewer and fewer outlets — Amazon and other multinational chains — command a larger and larger share of the retail market, putting smaller and midsize retailers out of business.

More often than not, Amazon and other corporations can provide the fastest shipping and cheapest products through economies of scale.

However, with cheaper prices come trade-offs. Many big box stores rely on self check-outs and provide poor customer service and support.

And, of course, global chains take money from Pike County’s local economy.

In the face of these global retailers, there has been a resurgence of mom-and-pop shops that cater to an increasing “buy local� movement and increased support for locally owned businesses and locally produced goods.

Multiple new or relocating businesses have very recently announced their presence on Pittsfield’s square.

Thursday’s Girls Night Out is an excellent excuse to shop locally owned retail businesses and dine out in Pittsfield and other Pike County communities.

And, on a day-to-day basis, try to make a habit of purchasing products and meals from locally owned businesses, which pay local employees and reinvest money in Pike County.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR ‘Team Landon’ affects whole county There are not enough words to say thank you to all of those who helped last Friday afternoon with Landon’s Parade.

What started as a simple gesture of our support and love for Landon and his family, grew into a wonderful community outpouring of love for them. I think it made all of us proud to FDOO 3LWWVÂżHOG DQG 3LNH &RXQW\ our home.

Thank you to the City of 3LWWV¿HOG DQG WKH 3LWWV¿HOG &LW\ Police, the Pike County Sheriff’s Department, and the Illinois State Police for making this possible on short notice.

Lastly, thank you the commu-

Sometimes in life you have to stop and pour out your support for those in need and that is exactly what happened last Friday afternoon.

For a short time, we were simply “Team Landon� together and it was amazing.

PAULA HAWLEY Superintendent Pikeland CUSD #10 PittsďŹ eld, Ill.

Hopes people come to their senses I am in total agreement with most, if not all, of Glen Phillip’s letters. Too many who live in this area believe that the Republican Party and President Donald Trump can do no wrong. We can only hope that enough will come to their senses by the next elections.

WHAT WAS HIDDEN

I

n 2008 I was driving past Paul Pointer’s house in south St.Louis, Missouri DQG VWRSSHG WR DGPLUH D KXJH GUDJRQÀ\ made out of metal that he had mounted on the side of his house.

Paul has a big 3 story old brick home that is across the street from the historic Lemp Mansion. Paul is the owner of the Lemp Mansion and many other properties owned by the Lemp family.

That morning he walked out the front door as I was pulling away in my Toyota truck.I had just applied placards on the truck doors which promoted my antique lighting restoration business.

As I pulled away and started down the street my phone rang. Paul Pointer had seen me admiring his home and was calling. “Are you looking for me?â€? he asked. Âł1R MXVW DGPLULQJ \RXU GUDJRQĂ€\ ´ , responded. “Do you restore lights?â€? he asked.

I told him that I did and he asked me to meet him at his building that he was turning into a restaurant.

I met him at a building which used to be the stable used to house horses that pulled the Lemp Beer wagons. It was being converted into a restaurant.

Paul and I walked into a back room and WKHUH ZDV DERXW FKDQGHOLHUV LQ WKH ÀRRU that he wanted me to restore. There were also some other lights he needed to have worked on.

I looked at the lights and they were corroded. Frankly there wasn’t anything that made them desirable. Even restored, I didn’t think they’d be anything impressive or of value.

I conveyed my thoughts on the lights to Paul. He was just trying to be economical and just use these lights in the restaurant until he could afford something nice.

I loaded the lights in the back of my truck and Paul asked me what I was doing in that part of town.

I informed him I was looking for a building to put my lighting business in.

He told me he owned several buildings and had one for rent that I could use.

We drove to the building and it would meet my needs very well. I ended up renting the property from him for about four years.

I drove home with his lights in the back of the truck.

I was called to my garage by Ken and he said,“There’s something you need to see.�

He began taking Paul’s chandeliers and stacking them on top of each other. “This isn’t 10 chandeliers but one huge light,� Ken informed me.it weighed over 500 lbs, had 1100 pieces of crystal, 120 lights, and was 13 feet tall when restored.

I called Paul and gave him the news. “I’ve got just the place for it,� Paul said.

We buffed the laquer off the light and soaked it in a sloution that made the brass look brown and antique. It took over a month to buff the lacquer off of the light.

My nephew, Joseph Ottwell, stayed with me a week and to help me on the project.

We took the light to the restaurant to assemble.

The light was fully,wired, assembled, and the lights were added.

The order was then given to energize the light.

When it was lit up all Paul and I could do was laugh and say “Who would have thunk it.�

I said to Paul, “You know that light is just like people. People look at them like

Akers Chapel Cemetery making improvements

HELP

FROM THE HEAD GUY

By DAVID CAMPHOUSE Pike Press Akers Chapel Cemetery, at 32953 Illinois Route 96, north of Hull, paved the majority of its roadways over the summer.

The project was the result of fundraising and volunteer work coordinated by the Akers Chapel Cemetery Association. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The road is probably 80% paved,â&#x20AC;?

Akers Chapel Cemetery Association treasurer Randy Woodward II said.

Woodward recognized the generosity of the community â&#x20AC;&#x201D; including the Colwell family, Dale Kroencke, Jim Bridgeman, and many other individual donors.

Pavement of the parking lot in front of the Akers Chapel was paid for by the church that rents the structure. The church has a congregation of about three dozen people, according to Woodward.

The original Akers Chapel was erected in 1837, and the current structure has been in place since 1868.

Significant work has also been completed to repair and restore many of the cemeteryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s oldest gravestones.

Woodward says that funding is still a concern for ongoing maintenance and to

HUNT

Stetson Kirgan had a success hunt Oct. 19 at the Logan County Youth Pheasant Hunt. He is the son of Eric and Megan Kirgan of Pleasant Hill and a freshman at Pleasant Hill High School.

Should college athletes be able to make money off their talent?

By BETH ZUMWALT Pike Press California became the first state in the nation to allow student athletes to make money while participating in collegiate athletics. The bill, passed last month, allows college student athletes to sign endorsement deals, hire agents and benefit financially from the use of their likeness. Similar legislation is pending in other states including Illinois.

The arguments for the change include the fact colleges make millions of dollars off of athletes, while the athletes themselves are left uncompensated. The NCAAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rules prohibit endorsement deals and prevent student athletes from cashing in on the popularity of collegiate sports they helped create.

Local seniors, some who may be looking at playing a collegiate sport, have different opinions on the matter.

Olivia Campbell, a Western student who plays volleyball and participates in track, said she sees both sides of the issue. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unfair to students who have not are academic scholarships or other types of scholarships that have no way to make extra money,â&#x20AC;? Campbell said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But if someone is going to use your name and picture, then you should get paid for it.â&#x20AC;?

Haleigh Conkright, also from Western High School, said she too has mixed feelings. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Your scholarship is your payment,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But at the same time, you are committed to your sport so you can get money for other things.â&#x20AC;?

Money for trips home to visit, laundry, an occassional movie are top priority for many college students and with restrictions on how to make spending money, many athletes struggle. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think it is a good idea,â&#x20AC;? Cole Wright, a senior at Pleasant Hill High School, said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;College athletes have to spend so much time studying and practicing, they canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get a job.

They may get scholarships but what about gas money to get places and go home to visit?â&#x20AC;?

Sydney Clendenny, also an athlete from Pleasant Hill, agreed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think this will help more players be able to afford to attend school,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;College athletes canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go out and get an after school job.â&#x20AC;?

Noah Petty of Pittsfield said he is stuck in the middle about the issue. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In Division I, players get tuition, lodging, books and everything paid, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s their compensation,â&#x20AC;? Petty said.

Nick Niebur, also a Pittsfield Saukee, said he agreed with Petty. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Tuition, meals, board, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all paid for the super athletes that would be asked to sign endorsements,â&#x20AC;? Niebur said.

Noah Gay said he is opposed to the plan to allow endorsements, The Saukee basketball player said for athletes their payment is their education.

Will Guthrie said he was thought collegiate athletes should retain their amateur status. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If a college player is paid, he or she is no longer an amateur,â&#x20AC;? Guthrie said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It could also cause conflicts with the team.

Players should be student-athletes not athletestudents.â&#x20AC;?

Guthrie added there are semi-professional sports and athletes that want to be paid for their talents and should look at those opportunities.

Chloe Walston, a senior athlete at PHS, said she could see both sides to the issue but also sees where it could cause problems within the team.

Hailey Smith, a volleyball and softball player for the Lady Saukees agreed, although she thought coaches would be more understanding of a player missing a practice for an endorsement obligation than they would if they had to miss because of a part-time job.

Jill Cook, Lady Saukee volleyball coach, said she believes the matter might change the outlook of the players. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Players will play more for the money than the love of the game,â&#x20AC;? she said.

Piles of Pumpkins in Barry and Pleasant Hill The Pike-Scott Farm Bureauâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Agriculture Literacy Coordinator Rachel Smith visited the thirdgraders at Western and Pleasant Hill to teach students all about pumpkins through some fun, handson activities. They made 3-D pumpkin decorations portraying the life cycle of a pumpkin, completed cut and paste coloring sheets depicting the various parts of a pumpkin, watched an educational video about pumpkins, and even got to make their very own pumpkin-themed snack: pumpkin pie in a bag.

Students received the recipe for the yummy pumpkin snack they made during class which included: milk, spices (nutmeg/cinnamon), vanilla pudding, canned pumpkin, and whipped

cream. The third-grade teachers received some additional lesson materials on pumpkins that covered topics like: vocabulary, mathematics, grammar, and language arts as well as the link to the virtual Pumpkin Ag-Mag (smart-board compatible) that is provided by IL AITC. The Agriculture in the Classroom program is funded by the IAA Foundation and the Two Rivers Farm Bureau Foundation, the charitable arm of the Pike-Scott Farm Bureau.

Durall is a Rotary member and spoke about World Polio Day which is Oct. 24.

Rotary has six areas of focus, one of which is fighting the disease.

In 1955, the first approved injectable vaccine was available. Rotary uses the oral version of the vaccine.

In the mid-20th century, contracting polio was a major fear of the population. Polio typically affects children under the age of five. If contracted, many children died or had paralysis.

Rotary started the fight against polio in 1979 in the Philippines. In 1985, Rotary joined other organizations to start a worldwide push to eradicate polio. No child is safe until the disease is completely gone.

Durall stated that the October issue of The Rotarian includes

Tiffany spoke about the interview process potential outbound exchange students go through and how they rarely have students as enthusiastic and mature as Zane. District 6460 is one of 19 Districts under the Central States Youth Exchange that hosts a Conference in Grand Rapids, Michigan every July.

Warmowski stated that the Springfield Foundation is offering an incentive to clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s to sponsor a student by providing a $1,000 grant to those clubs that sponsor an inbound exchange student.

She is the mother of Susan Shaw and grandmother of Cody Ward. She was the last sibling of the Bakers: Junior, Paul, and Kathryn, and the wife of the late Charles Ward. There are many of us in this area and beyond who remember Evelyn fondly as our Sunday School teacher when we were wee little ones and a Vacation Bible School teacher and worker. She put her all in working with the little ones, and enjoyed doing that immensely.

Fourth person charged in home invasions requests jury trial

By BETH ZUMWALT Pike Press Tyler Runk, 22, Jacksonville, one of four men charged in a late August crime spree where they burglarized and terrorized residents in north Pike County, appeared in court Thursday, with a new attorney. He has had 17 new charges filed against him.

Runk had originally requested a court ordered attorney and was appointed Keisha Morris. Morris withdrew due a conflict and Attorney John Clark was appointed to represent Runk, but that order was vacated.

Runkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s present attorney is Scott Schultz from Jerseyville.

Runk was originally charged with 3 counts of home invasion.

Charges added Oct. 31 include; with the discharge

of a firearm, armed robbery with the discharge of a firearm, aggravated vehicle hijacking with a weapon and felony possession of a firearm by a felon, all class X felonies.

Thursday in court, counts, 5-22 were added. They include: possession of stolen firearm, theft between $10K and $100K, two counts of theft $500-$10,000; use of stolen firearm to commit an offense; aggravated discharge of a firearm; armed violence, home invasion with a firmer, 3 counts armed violence category 1, home invasion with a firearm, 5 counts of armed robbery with a firearm and residential burglary. All the new charges are felonies and 12 of those are Class X felonies.

Runk will be back in court Nov. 26 for his arraignment.

He has waived preliminary hearing on the new charges.
