County GIS/ IT committee votes to explore group health insurance rates

By DAVID CAMPHOUSE Pike Press At the Tuesday, July 13, meeting of the Pike County Board’s GIS/IT Committee, the group elected to explore the idea of putting the county employee group health insurance plan out for bid.

Committee members Derek Ross and Amy Gates voted to explore other plans, while committee member Reta Hoskins voted “present” in response to the motion.

Ross felt compelled to explore the county’s health insurance options, as health insurance premiums are among the county’s largest expenditures.

“We spend $1.5 million on insurance premiums - $1.2 million on health insurance and about $300,000 on property casualty,” Ross said. “We should be paying closer attention. There’s no harm on the health side of looking at the numbers.”

According to Ross, the vote by the committee was simply to try and get rough numbers from insurance providers to compare to the county’s current plan from the Hope Trust.

“This is just a preliminary attempt at getting possible rates to see if it makes sense to put it out for bid,” Ross said.

His desire to look at new insurance options, Ross said, was also prompted by what he perceives as inaction on the part of the board when it comes to shopping around for the county’s group health insurance plan.

“To my knowledge, there hasn’t been a meeting of the insurance committee this year,” Ross said. “When I tried to bring it up last year, it never made it out of committee to the full board in time to put it out for bid.”

Besides being a good management practice on the part of the board, Ross said putting the county’s health insurance out for bid could save money for both taxpayers and county employees.

“I have an issue with not putting out for bid the county’s second most expensive expenditure, behind only payroll,” Ross said. “If we can save money for taxpayers, we can save money for the employees.”

While Ross is attempting to get quotes from several insurance providers, he is unsure that he will be able to provide enough information to the companies for them to provide an accurate quote in response.

“What I hope can do is find out for plans, demographically speaking, that are similar to our group, rates are this much,” Ross said. “I hope I can get the numbers, but I may not be able to unless it is formally put out for bid.”

Ross said that time would also be a factor in the county’s ability to bid out its health insurance plan, because the Hope Trust requires notification of renewal or nonrenewal by the beginning of September.

Dog missing 14 months found on the wrong side of the Illinois River

By DAVID CAMPHOUSE Pike Press Scott County Dog Rescue President Becky Lashmett was notified last week of a stray dog loose in the Illinois River bottoms near Scott County’s Oxville.

“It was reported to me by somebody who had seen him on what they called the back road to Naples,” Lashmett said. “The woman who reported the dog said he came out of the cornfield and acted like he wanted to get into her car.”

According to Lashmett, she posted about the lost dog on Facebook, after which point she was contacted by Valley City resident Angie Johnson.

“She said she thought it was her dog Zeppelin that had been missing for 14 months,” Lashmett said.

According to Johnson, the Facebook post was brought to her attention by a friend in Griggsville, who recognized the dog immediately.

“He’s pretty distinct,” Johnson said. “He has one blue eye and one brown eye, and his tail is docked.”

Lashmett surmises that the dog must have crossed from Pike County into Scott County on the Norfolk Southern railroad bridge at Valley City.

“And I thought to myself, ‘Oh my God, that dog walked across the railroad bridge,’” Lashmett said.

Zeppelin is not the first dog that Lashmett is aware of to cross the bridge.

“Probably 15 years ago, a St. Bernard did the same thing and walked across the river,” Lashmett said.

According to Johnson, Scott County Animal Rescue’s Lashmett and her Facebook post were instrumental in helping her find her long-lost dog.

“I want Becky to know that she reunited us,” Johnson said. “She went above and

Submitted photo

A husky-mix, named Zeppelin, was found in rural Scott County, between Oxville and the Illinois River, after having run away from its Valley City home 14 months ago.

Zeppelin is shown here with owner Angie Johnson after being found. The dog evidently crossed the river on the Norfolk Southern railroad bridge. Diseased and pest-ridden, an online fundraiser has been started to help with veterinary bills. Excess proceeds from the $1,000 fundraiser are being donated to the Pike County Animal Shelter and Scott County Dog Rescue.

beyond. I think the total time from when I first saw his picture on Facebook to when I picked him up was right at one hour.”

According to Johnson the reunion with her dog was an emotional one.

“It’s like having my best friend back,” Johnson said.

“We’re pretty close. He goes everywhere with me. Becky was crying. I was crying.”

Before the reunion, Johnson said she had almost abandoned hope of finding Zeppelin again, but something kept her from moving on.

“I started to give up hope, and I thought about getting a new dog,” Johnson said. “I just couldn’t yet.”

Because he had been running loose for months and lacking medical attention, Johnson faced a large vet bill to attend to all of Zeppelin’s health issues. In response, Johnson’s sister, Hilary Allen, set up an online fundraiser to help with the costs.

Johnson says that the fundraiser more than covered the veterinarian fees, and all excess money raised will be donated to the Scott County Dog Rescue and the Pike County Animal Shelter.

“I want to thank everyone who has already donated,” Johnson said. “We’ve got his vet bills covered already, so everything else that gets raised will go to the shelters.”

Walking path at King Park could be finished this year

By BETH ZUMWALT Pike Press With the second phase of the walking path at King Park barely dry, Picture Pittsfield is already planning the third and final stage.

“We started out with four phases, but, changed to three,” Patrick Lamb, President of Picture Pittsfield, who is raising money for the materials, with the city providing the labor.

“We have the money in our funds to pay for it, but, it would lower our

balance lower than we would like.

We are waiting for some final word on grants and, hopefully, a few more donations.”

The first phase of the path took shape in 2019, when the city covered the ditch and placed a new sidewalk on the south side of the pool house, along Benson Street.

Phase two was completed earlier this year after a donation from the Ty Rylander Foundatiions and some fundraising efforts.

Fundraising was difficult last year

because of Covid restriction but a duck drawing in both 2019 and 2020 got the project started. Another duck drawing has been held this year, but, according to Lamb, was not as successful as the first two.

Total cost of the materials for the remainder of the project is about $8.500.

“A lot of the grants we have applied for, say the project must be completed in 12 months,” Lamb said.

“We could use more money and more volunteers to help.”

Max Middendorf, who does all the city’s engineering work has drawn up the plans.

“We are hopeful for the grants because we don’t want to use all of our general funds,” Lamb said.

Lamb said Picture Pittsfield is grateful to the help they have received from the city.

“Praise be to the city,” he said.

“We appreciate them recognizing our efforts and helping us make this a reality and not just a dream.

t to get the w n a W ord out about y

By DAVID CAMPHOUSE Pike Press Last week, as Travis Hileman was doing demolition work in a home being gutted and renovated

by Dale Dierking at 227 South Memorial Street in Pittsfield, he discovered a pair of antique baby shoes inside an interior wall of the home.

Hileman said he found the shoes in what appeared to be the oldest part of the house.

“It was inside the wall of the main house,” Hileman said. “It looks like it was first built as one room and added onto.”

According to historians, it was common practice for 18th century residents of the British Isles and the Americas to leave wellworn shoes hidden inside homes in order to serve as a talisman protecting the home.

“Usually when there would be a shoe left, it would be for luck or to protect the house,” Pike County Historical Society President Emily Pursley said.

Pursley added that often the shoe would be sealed inside a wall at the time a new home was constructed.

“It was almost a christening of the house,” Pursley said. “It was a mark of the family who was building the house.”

While commonly left inside a wall, shoes were frequently hidden in other hard-to-reach places within a home, including chim-

Worker Travis Hileman found a pair of children’s shoes, hidden inside a wall of a home, at 227 S. Memorial St. in Pittsfield last week. Leaving shoes hidden in homes was a common Victorian era practice thought to protect the home. Hileman donated the shoes to the Pike County Historical Society.

neys and inside stairs.

“Every once in a while they would put it under a stairway or built into the inside of the first few stairs,” Pursley said.

According to Pursley, the shoe left in the home on South Memorial Street offers a strong indication of the home’s age.

“Shoes were most often left in the Victorian era,” Pursley said. “In America, the Victorian era typically refers to the years from the end of the Civil War until the turn of the century.”

Since discovering them, Hileman has donated the shoes to the Pike County Historical Society.

Affordable housing for community college students becomes law Community college boards of trustees and local housing authorities will now have authority to develop affordable housing for community college students, under a new law sponsored by State Senator Doris Turner (D— Springfield).

“This is about bettering the college experience for every student in this state,” Turner said. “Research shows that students who live on campus have higher GPAs. When students live on campus they are more plugged-in to the campus community and have more opportunities to join clubs, attend events and meet new people.”

Traditionally, community colleges do not have the

right to own student housing. In order for community colleges to develop affordable housing for students, the process must be administered through a local Housing Authority or nonprofit organization.

Those speaking out in favor of this legislation also suggest that restricted housing on community college campuses fails to meet the

needs of every student. Traditionally, community colleges have catered to students living within a reasonable driving distance of the school, but while that arrangement works for some students, more students are facing a lengthy and costly commute. That can present a challenging barrier to those living at a distance, including international students.

Outdoor Truths: Gary Miller

Remembering who we are, rather than where Something that happens to me quite often is I wake up in a hotel and forget where I am.

It may be that I’m on a hunting trip or away at a speaking gig, but I wake up and before my eyes open, my mind tells me I’m home. There’s been a few times I’ve woken up in the dark and made my way to the bathroom. In my mind, however, I’m at home, so I go down the hallway or make a left turn, or something like that. And there have been other times I have walked into a mirror or tried to grab a doorknob on a window or opened the door to the hotel hallway thinking it was the door to that bathroom. As quickly as possible, I must get my wits about me, snap out of it, and realize where I am in order to make the right adjustments. I am in an area that is home to a university. Students move here from all parts of WKH FRXQWU\ 7KH\¶UH ¿QGLQJ out important things like how we communicate, our customs, and what soup beans are.

While they are here, they will make new friends and have new directions. And they will adapt to living there because of the new place they have been transplanted. Most of them will spend a few years here while planning to either return home or to some other desirable des-

tination. But what if they could never go back? What if that option was off the table? And what if one day, I woke up in a place that was my new home?

And I could never go back.

What if that happened to you?

What could you do? Well, you might grumble, but what good would that do? You might long for days gone by. You might become a hermit and never associate with anyone. You might even try to change the people around you, so they become more like you. There is one more option. You could change and adapt. And if you are a Christian, you could see this as the hand of God and could say, “Alright Lord, I get it. I’ll change. I’ll adapt. I’ll live as your follower in a land that is different from my own.”

Did you know that several stories in the Bible give us this scenario? I think of people like Joseph, Daniel, Nehemiah,

Meshach, Shadrach, and Abednego. All of these woke up to another country and culture.

And if you look at each of these stories you will notice some similarities. Namely these.

They embraced their new culture while keeping their convictions and their commitment to God. Here’s another way to put it. You can adapt to your culture and still keep your commitment and your convictions.

So here we have these men who woke up in a place that was all new to them. Here’s what they didn’t do.

Q They didn’t grumble.

Q They didn’t long for days gone by.

Q They didn’t complain about the government.

Q They didn’t sit and sulk.

Q They didn’t condemn everybody and everything.

Instead, they kept their commitment. They followed their convictions. They embraced

their culture.

And They allowed God to use them to change their new world.

Maybe you feel like you are waking up to a country that is new. It’s not home.

It’s different. You may not even like it. You can grumble, complain, sit, sulk, blame and condemn. Or just maybe you can believe God wanted you to be alive now, for such a time as this, and embrace the culture as your new place of ministry.

GRIGGSVILLE G-P PTO meets July 28 via Google Meets

LINDA HOSKINS I tried a new recipe last week that turned out really good. It’s not really a summer meal, but you can save this recipe for fall or winter time. I found this recipe for Baked Pasta Puttanesca in a magazine. Puttanesca is a sauce typically containing olives, garlic, capers, hot pepper and usually anchovies. When I made this, I did not put the anchovies in, but I think I may add them the next time I make this.

To be honest, I don’t know LI , OLNH DQFKRY\ ¿OOHWV QRW sure if I have ever had them.

If you want to know more about anchovies, read to end of column. This recipe makes 10 servings, so I made just a half recipe. It was still a lot for the two of us.

The Reis family of Barry, Il, exhibited in the dairy show at the Jersey County Fair and the family made sure that little Macie got some good prep time before the show by working one of the Jersey heifers in the showring. It seems that they want to make sure she gets that livestock showing in her blood while she’s young.

How full is your invasive species radar? Mine is overwhelmed as we deal with the current group of Japanese beetles, emerald ash borer, bush honeysuckle, and so many more. Plus, in Illinois, we are girding for the impending arrival of the very destructive spotted lanternfly. Then a notification arrives the USDA has prohibited the import of boxwood, holly, and euonymus species from Canada to prevent the spread of the box tree moth (Cydalima perspectalis). I didn’t even look that one up to see what it does, but I bet it’s not good. Hopefully, they will nip it in the bud, so I won’t have to learn a new invasive species, but reports show infestations at three inspection sites in the US. Yikes!

Well, if your invasive species runs over as mine does, I’ve got a new one for you that has been confirmed throughout Illinois including McDonough County – the jumping worm (Amynthas spp.). Yes, you read that correctly, there is now an invasive earthworm crawling through the dirt.

The pace of the world has sped up and after only a few years, we’re seeing the jumping worm move across the country. How are these worms spreading so quickly? If your very next thought is “humans” you’re catching on to some common invasive species themes. The invasive jumping worm is believed to primarily spread through transporting compost and mulch.

Identifying the invasive jumping worm is a large worm, up to eight inches long, and tends to have very glossy skin. Jumping worm as its name implies will jump, squirm, flip, and perform all manner of impressive gymnastics when touched. Their movement can almost appear snake-like as they thrash in an s-shaped manner.

Another characteristic is the jumping worm’s top is darker

in color. As they squirm and jump you will see the opposing flashes of color.

Jumping worms also have a smooth, milky white clitellum (colored band) that completely circles the body and is not raised.

What Makes These Worms So Bad? When it comes to jumping worms, it is fairly new so there are quite a few unknowns. Here are a few things that have been researched or observed: They are voracious consumers of organic matter. Established populations are known to create soil resembling coffee grounds.

They can survive almost exclusively on cellulose, allowing them to persist on mulch alone.

The adult worms cannot survive our winters, but their eggs can. Eggs and young worms can be transported on tools and moved on divided garden plants.

Preliminary study in Wisconsin shows that when jumping worms arrive in a forest setting, they displace other earthworms until jumping worms are all that is left.

Jumping worms have the potential to be very destructive in both home landscapes and natural areas.

Is there anything to control these worms? Unfortunately, not. You can remove adult worms to reduce the amount of egg-laying occurring in the soil. Place them in a plastic bag and set them in the sun where they will quickly die.

Do you think you found a jumping worm in your yard?

Bring in a sample to your local Extension office for identification.

Good Growing Tip of the Week: Suspect you have jumping worms but don’t see them? You can extract them from the ground by mixing 1/3 cup of ground yellow mustard seed with a gallon of water.

This drives the worms to the surface.
