The Cargill Ag Horizons elevator at Florence is one of four grain elevators along Pike County’s Illinois River frontage which may be affected by planned 2020 lock closures upriver.

By DAVID CAMPHOUSE Pike Press Under the recommendation of the Illinois Municipal League and city attorney Mike Hollahan, the city of Pittsfield is considering a municipal cannabis sales tax in anticipation of the statelevel legalization of recreational cannabis in 2020.

Mayor John Hayden explained that the passage of

pikepress.com

the sales tax ordinance was required by the state prior to Oct. 1, in the event Pittsfield chooses to allow the sale of cannabis and intends to collect a municipal sales tax on it.

Passage of the cannabis sales tax ordinance by the city council would allow for the collection of a 3% municipal sales tax if cannabis sales are allowed within Pittsfield.

Attorney Mike Hollahan encouraged a meeting of the ordinance committee to garner public opinion and to determine a recommendation on cannabis sales within the city.

The council approved the construction of a permanent outdoor kitchen at County

Market to accommodate food prep and sales.

The construction of a modular stage to be used during Pittsfield’s Fall Festival and other civic events was approved by the council. The Ella Barnes estate will fund construction costs and be recognized with a placard on the stage, and all construction materials will be purchased in Pittsfield.

A street closure on Memorial Street Sunday, Aug 25 from 11 a.m. – 4 p.m. in front of the First Christian Church to accommodate children’s activities was also approved.

Placement of a stop sign at Perry and Monroe streets due to concerns for child safety was tabled for further review.

Pleasant Hill fundraiser brings in enough for emergency siren repair

By BETH ZUMWALT Pike Press A FaceBook advertised fundraiser has netted the Pleasant Hill Fire Department $1,900 toward fixing the village’s emergency warning system.

The siren has not worked for the past few years.

“So far we have received $1,900,” Rawn Hart, who is a member of the fire district board, said. “The estimated cost of the repairs is $1,500

but that was only an estimate.

We don’t know what they will find when they get in there.”

Hart said should the project come in at or under the estimate, any overage will be put toward adding an additional siren near the park.

Josh Martin, Pike County’s ESDA coordinator, said he was glad the repairs were finally being made.

“We had worked with Senator Demuzio when she was in office and she was

going to help up get a new siren system,” Martin said.

“When she didn’t get re-elected, the project fell through the cracks.”

Martin said cost of a new siren would be in the $8-9,000 range and that would include a standard, mid-range siren with the radio equipment to activate it. Activation would come from the Pike County Sheriff’s office.

Pleasant Hill district striving Congressman Paul Findley to remove barriers to learning leaves legacy in Pike County

By DAVID CAMPHOUSE Pike Press Pleasant Hill superintendent Ron Edwards wears many hats – coach, classroom teacher, administrator, and – this summer at least – construction project manager.

The most obvious change at Pleasant Hill has been the installation of air conditioners in the 1926 and 1954 buildings of the school. According to Superintendent Edwards, air conditioning isn’t a luxury, but fundamental in the district’s ability to effectively deliver instruction – affecting student concentration and parents’ lives.

“We used to dismiss the whole district for heat.�

Ron Edwards Pleasant Hill superintendent “We used to dismiss the whole district for heat,�

Edwards said. “It was a huge burden on parents to scramble to get daycare or get off work.�

The process of air-conditioning the school has been no small task, as the air conditioners have required new electrical service and

Pleasant Hill superintendent Ron Edwards has overseen several facility-related projects over the summer, including installation of air conditioners.

rewiring of much of the older buildings.

There has also been significant drainage and concrete work around the football field and elementary school, in addition to painting and ceiling work throughout the school buildings.

Another significant development has been districtwide eligibility for all students to receive free breakfast and lunch at the school. The need for providing meals for lowincome students has also been recognized by the First Baptist Church of Pleasant Hill, which has operated a summer lunch program for the last two years.

According to Elementary School Director of Curriculum and Instruction Lisa Hannel, there is an ongoing need for food

assistance after the end of the school year. “There are some kids who need help,� Hannel said. “The community has been very supportive and has donated.�

Pleasant Hill is also in the process of upgrading its junior high social studies and science curricula through vendors. The curriculum purchases are funded by a school improvement title one grant.

According to Edwards, the district remains intent on maintaining its many technical programs designed to equip students with practical job skills. “For a district our size, we’re very lucky to have family/consumer science, business, wood shop, construction, agriculture, and welding.� Edwards said.

By BETH ZUMWALT Pike Press Paul Findley, who served as this area’s U.S. Representative from 19601982, died Aug. 9 in Jacksonville. He was 98.

Findley was a newspaperman in Pittsfield prior to his political career. He owned the Pike County Republican, a predecessor to the Pike Press, and also co-owned the Pike Press after the two county papers merged into one in 1968.

He still has a lot of friends and admirers in the county. “Congressman Paul Findley was a friend of agriculture in the nation and internationally,during his 11 terms in Congress representing the 20th Congressional District,� Blake Roderick of the Pike-Scott Farm Bureau said. “He was a strong supporter of ag issues, trade, and sound economic policy.

He was accessible and welcoming to farmers visiting his Washington, D.C. office.

He was a frequent visitor to our offices in Pittsfield and Winchester listening to the views and needs of area farmers.�

Findley was a native of central Illinois, being raised in Jacksonville and attending Jacksonville High and Illinois College. After graduation from IC, Findley he served as a lieutenant in the U.S. Navy in the Pacific theatre during World War II. He met his wife, Lucille Gemme Findley, while both were stationed on the island of Guam.

He was an unyielding advocate for civil rights, and for peace and cultural awareness. He was an outspoken

opponent of the Vietnam War, and a primary author of the 1973 War Powers Act, which limits the president’s authority in waging war. He served with distinction on the Agricultural and Foreign Affairs committees and was known for his support of family farmers, and as an advocate for engagement with the Arab world, particularly Palestine.

“He never backed down from what he thought was right.�

Phil Bradshaw Griggsville “A lot of people think he lost the election to Richard Durbin in 1982 because of his views and meeting with Yasser Arafat and the stance he took on Palestine,� Phil Bradshaw, a strong supporter of Findley and a traveling companion on trips to Russia and China, said. “He never apologized for that. Had he done so, he might have been re-elected but that’s just the kind of guy he was. He never backed down from what he thought was right.�

Bradshaw described Findley as a focused, selfdisciplined man. “He never took his mind off what he wanted to accomplish,� Bradshaw said. “When we went to Russia we were invited to go to the theater. It wasn’t much fun for us, because it was all in Russian. At the intermission, Findley said he was going

back to the hotel. He had came to Russia for a purpose and he wanted to study what was going to be going on the next day.�

Bradshaw also said Findley was very humble man. “He could have used his diplomatic passport and avoided the lines at airports when he traveled,but he never did,� Bradshaw said. “He used his own and waited with the rest of us. He didn’t want to attract attention to himself.�

Jerry Rodhouse of Pleasant Hill said he became acquainted with Findley, the year Rodhouse graduated from high school. “My dad volunteered me to work on his campaign in 1959 for the 1960 election,�

Rodhouse said. “Findley was a candidate not supported by the Pike County Republicans.

They supported another candidate in the primary but my dad supported Findley. I got quite an education working with him.�

Rodhouse said he was not involved much with the horse trail rides Findley used to host in the fall in Pike County. “My brother, Fred, was into that,� Rodhouse said. “It was a big deal.�

Rodhouse said he visited Findley in both Washington and Jacksonville several times and once Findley even showed him a letter Rodhouse’s father had sent him, chastising him for a position he had taken on an agricultural issue. “He was the type of politician we don’t have too many like today,� Rodhouse said. “He cared about what was right.�

Band and choir are back at Western Schools

By DAVID CAMPHOUSE Pike Press Amber Rak – a recent Illinois College graduate and Western’s new music teacher – has an obvious passion for music education and performance.

Western cancelled its band program in the 2012-13 school year due to budget constraints, but according to superintendent Jessica Funk, reinstatement of the program was a priority for school administration and the board. “Nobody wanted it cut,� Funk said. “It was a financial decision, and we’ve done things to put ourselves on a good path fiscally.�

“I’ve been motivated by how committed everyone is.�

Amber Rak Western music teacher

Rak started teaching the basics of music at Western’s middle school in January and is working towards public recitals and concerts in January of 2020.

Music classes meet two or three times per week. The music classes are divided into 7th/8th grade woodwind and percussion, 7th/8th grade brass, 6th grade woodwind and percussion, 6th grade brass, and all-grades choir.

Middle school principal Brandi Pennock is also committed to the idea of band and chorus coming back to Western. “We’re a band community,� Pennock said. “Ms. Rak’s enthusiasm is contagious.�

Mom’s recipe, Mullen’s applesauce, comes to Pike County

By BETH ZUMWALT Pike Press When looking at jars of Mullen’s applesauce, Pike County shoppers should feel a connection. The tasty creation is a product of a relative of Norma Jankowski and her late husband. Norma’s niece’s husband lives in the Chicago area.

In October, 1996, Jim Mullen, 32 at the time, was an officer with the Chicago PD and was a tactical officer. “We were responding to a report of shots being fired at the L train,� Mullen said. “They were coming from an apartment. A bullet struck me in the right cheek, My fellow officers did CPR and got me to the hospital but I am now a quadriplegic. I have been in and out of hospitals ever since with heart attacks, having a pacemaker installed, a fused knee, a metal jaw. I’m a training ground for doctors and nurses.�

After his accident, Mullen said he wanted to do something and while he was in cardiac rehab at Northwestern Hospital, he met a woman who made her own barbecue sauce. “I wanted to do something similar and my mother was a great cook,� Mullen said. “She worked all day as an executive secretary and when she came home, she would serve all home cooked meals. She even made our salad dressings.�

Mullen decided to use his

He made a few jars and gave them to friends and when requests for more starting coming, he decided to market his product to area stores. The applesauce is

now available at several Chicago area stores and at County Market in Pittsfield. “Jim Brown, manager at County Market, drove up here to get cases of the applesauce,� Mullen said. “I keep 30-40 cases in my garage.�

Mullen has not forgotten his fellow officers and a portion of the sale of each jar goes to a first responder charity to help officers injured in the line of duty.

Our View PAUL FINDLEY 1921-2019

Congressman set the bar high Pike County joins people throughout the state, the nation and around the world in mourning the loss of former Congressman Paul Findley who died last week in Jacksonville.

Findley was a resident of Pittsfield and publisher of the Pike County Republican, an immediate predecessor of Pike Press, when he was elected to Congress in 1960. He went on to serve 11 terms before being defeated in 1982.

Many local residents recall the days of Findley’s newspapering, his political campaigns and the house where he lived on South Jackson Street in Pittsfield.

Once the Pike Press was established, it was considered Findley’s home base in his district and to this day has a shower in the men’s restroom to make it a habitable stopping off place – just in case.

It is difficult to calculate the benefits a county receives when a distinguished and experienced representative in Washington, D.C. knows local residents as personal friends and is easily accessible by local organizations needing assistance.

An example of this occurred in 1974 when Findley was instrumental in securing the release of Nebo resident Ed Franklin who was imprisoned in South Yemen. Many view Findley’s diplomacy in this matter as the beginning of his long support of measures to normalize Arab-Istraeli relations.

As Findley progressed into his later years, he retained his remarkable ability to connect with people and convey a sincere interest in their thoughts and concerns. This talent, which had helped him attain national leadership, assisted as he continued in international diplomacy.

Locally, Findley’s name will remain before the public at the Findley Place senior housing complex in Pittsfield, named in his honor.

Perhaps some day, Pike County will again send one of its own to Congress. If that happens, the new representative will be able to look to Findley’s impressive legacy of integrity and service for inspiration.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Remembers hearing ďŹ rsthand account Over 50 years ago, I made the same observation as Mike Boren...The Grand Master of Illinois, L.A Goddard, whose name is on the cornerstone of the Pike County Courthouse, did not attend its laying.

Therefore it is wrong!!

I too, worried about this.

So I asked Truman Dinsmore, a former newspaper publisher from Nebo and another Pike County town, a member of our Lodge and who had been to, and who had taken part in the actual laying of the stone as a member of the Special Grand Lodge A.L.5884.

Truman told me, Members from all the A.F.A.M. Lodges in Pike County, a few from other counties, plus several Grand Lodge members as well. We formed the Special A.L 5884, which was the actual group that laid the cornerstone, just as it says on it. L.A. Goddard, Grand Master, was the authority who granted permission to form the Special Lodge to lay the stone. There are other cornerstones around the state where the Grand Master›s name is on the stone and he was not there...

Each stone has the same inscription...Laid

by A.L. ----.

I was really thankful that I could have been a part of the laying of the Cornerstone.Âť I was fortunate to get my error corrected by a fellow Mason who was there, and took part in the actual forming of the special LODGE and laying of the cornerstone of our beautiful courthouse.

Communities can opt out on marijuana Illinois Governor J. B. Pritzker signed legislation on June 25 to approve “recreational� marijuana for persons 21 and older. When this law takes effect on January 1, 2020, it will allow the licensed growth, sales, possession and use of marijuana.

Illinois is the 11th state to legalize this

dangerous intoxicant for recreational purposes. It is a high potency, illegal federal drug though altered for those using it for medical purposes. It is a schedule 1 drug according to the DEA website with no currently accepted medical use and a high potential for abuse.

However, the bill that was passed by the IL General Assembly and hastily signed into law by our governor allows villages, cities and counties to opt out of marijuana retail sales. Do you want marijuana addicts and recreational users driving in and out of your community regularly to purchase drugs? If not, this important option must be considered.

Ask your mayor, village trustees, aldermen and county board members to pass an ordinance prohibiting marijuana dispensaries and marijuana businesses in your comPXQLW\ 0RUWRQ ,/ LV WKH ÂżUVW PXQLFLSDOLW\ to pass such an ordinance. Their ordinance can serve as a template for other communities.

What to do about guns?

It’s happened again. Mass shootings in El Paso, Texas and Dayton, Ohio. In El Paso, 22 people were killed and 24 injured with assault style weapons. In Dayton, 9 people were killed and 26 injured in 30 seconds. Again with assault style weapons. It seems that we have a crisis with domestic terrorism.

In February of 2018, 17 people (students) were killed and 17 injured in a school in Parkland, Florida. In May of 2018, 10 people were killed and 14 injured in a school in Santa Fe, New Mexico. In October of 2018, 11 people were killed and 6 wounded in a synagogue in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. In November, 2018, 13 people were killed and 12 wounded in Thousand Oaks, California.

We may have a crisis on our southern border. The crisis on the border is only a humanitarian crisis with large numbers of families trying to enter the United

States. That crisis is not killing people in the United States.

So what does Mr. Trump say about the domestic terrorism crisis? It is caused by video games and mental health issues.

Whereas we might not be able to stop dedicated domestic terrorists completely, we could reduce the carnage by eliminating assault style weapons.

And why do common citizens need bullet proof vests and body armor??

Where do you draw the line between rhetoric and sincerity. Between mental illness and sanity. Sounds like a real slippery slope. The NRA and gun enthusiasts might call eliminating assault style weapons a slippery slope also.

Congressman Paul Findley

Congressman Paul Findley, former United States Representative of the Illinois 20th District, died on the morning of August 9 in Jacksonville, Illinois.

Congressman Findley was born in Jacksonville, Illinois on June 23, 1921, the son of Joseph Stillwell and Florence Nichols Findley. He attended Jacksonville High School and Illinois College, where he earned a B.A. in 1943. Following his graduation, he served as a lieutenant in the United States Navy in the Pacific theatre during World War II. He met his wife, Lucille Gemme Findley, while both were stationed on the island of Guam. Following the Allied Victory, the couple moved to Washington D.C., where Congressman Findley started working as a journalist.

Shortly thereafter, the couple moved to Pittsfield, Illinois where Congressman Findley became the president of the Pike Press. In 1960, he was elected to serve in the Eighty-seventh United States Congress, a position to which he was elected for 11 terms. During his Congressional service, he was a strong advocate for peace and cultural awareness. He was an unyielding advocate for Civil Rights, an outspoken opponent of the Vietnam war, and a primary author of the 1973 War Powers Act, which limits the Presidentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s authority in waging war. He served with distinction on the Agricultural and Foreign Affairs committees and was known for his support of family farmers, and as an advocate for engagement with the Arab world, particularly Palestine. Congressman Findley was proud and humbled to serve the same district as President Abraham Lincoln, was honored as a Laureate of the Lincoln Academy, and considered the transfer of the Abraham Lincoln Home in Springfield, Illinois to the National Parks Service one of his greatest achievements as a congressman. Following his service in Congress, he continued to support agricultural development and was actively involved in foreign policy as an author and lecturer, as well as his work with the Board for International Food and Agricultural Development, the Council for the National Interest, and the Council for American Islamic Relations.

A champion for his state, region, and community, Congressman Findley was a life-long congregant of the First Presbyterian Church, a member of Rotary Club International and the Jacksonville Literary Union, and an affectionate alumnus of Illinois College and his literary society, Phi Alpha. Until his mid-80s, he was a daily tennis player and an avowed ice cream enthusiast (a tradition he passed to his grandchildren). He was thrilled to support his children and

grandchildren in pursuing higher education, and was delighted to witness the marriage of all four of his grandchildren and to meet each of his great-grandchildren. As a person, he was unfailingly kind and gracious, welcoming any and all into his home for coffee and conversation.

He strongly believed in treating all people with dignity and respect and was driven by a curiosity to understand the experiences and perspectives of others. More than anything, his legacy should reflect in the value he placed on human connections and simple daily interactions with fellow community members.

Congressman Findley is survived by his sister Barbara Findley Stuart of Normal, his son Craig (wife, Karyl) Findley of Jacksonville, his daughter Diane (husband, Thomas McLaughlin) Findley of Ft. Collins, Colorado, his grandchildren Andrew (wife, Grace) Findley of Indianapolis, Indiana, Cameron (wife, Laura) McLaughlin of Windsor, Colorado, Henry (wife, Katie) McLaughlin of Ashland, Oregon, and Elizabeth (husband, Anthony Vicha) Findley of Springfield, and his great grandchildren, Dominic and Samuel Findley (Andrew), and Lillian and Vienne McLaughlin (Cameron). He was preceded in death by his parents, his siblings Ruth, William, and Miriam, and his beloved wife, Lucille.

Illinois smoking cessation efforts falling short

By DAVID CAMPHOUSE Pike Press A report by the American Cancer Society has found that Illinois and many other states do not spend enough funds on efforts helping tobacco users kick the habit. In fact, the Center for Disease Control has determined that Illinois spends 6.7% of the funds that it should to help curb tobacco use in the state.

Much of the local responsibility for regulating tobacco use falls on the Pike County Health Department.

According to Mary Moss, a registered dietician and past tobacco program coordinator for the Pike County Health Department, the Department receives a state grant to enforce the Smoke Free Illinois Act, which dictates where smoking is allowed and disallowed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The funding we get from the state is

to go out and enforce and educate,â&#x20AC;? Moss said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If someone filed a complaint that there was smoking in a workplace or business, we would need to go make them aware of what the law says.â&#x20AC;?

Moss believes that tobacco use in general is on the decline, but that use in rural communities remains higher than the national average. One of the fastest growing forms of tobacco use, especially among young people, is vaping. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more acceptable, but we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know the hazards,â&#x20AC;? Moss said.

Moss echoed the findings of American Cancer Society report â&#x20AC;&#x201C; that local and state resources for smoking cessation are limited. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We can make referrals to the tobacco quit line,â&#x20AC;? Moss said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our staffing and grant funding are focused on enforcement of the Smoke Free Illinois Act.â&#x20AC;?

But her string of successes is far from over. She has been golfing competitively since she was five and now that sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nine, she is getting in bigger, more competitive tournaments.

Aug. 1-3, the North Carolina daughter of Dr. Steve and Reagan Hannant and granddaughter of Phil and Sandy Hannant competed in the U.S. Kids World Golf Tournament in Pinehurst, N.C. The nine-year-old took first in her age division in individual competition by six strokes and she and a teammate also took first in the team competition by five

strokes.

Hannant shot a 36, 34, 34 to win the individual completion.

At the end of the tournament, the top five golfers were invited up on stage and each made a speech.

Hannant thanked her father for being her coach and guiding her along the way.

The tournament had 1,500 golfers with more than 50 countries represented. The event starts with a parade much like the Olympics with each team walking in with a flag of their country. The closing ceremonies are just as impressive.

Hannantâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s younger sister, Zada, 7, and her partner tied for first in the the team world competition and Zada finished 18th in the individual tournament.

Partners were assigned by the tournament.

Sheriff clarifies law for creek bed accessibility Pike County Sheriff David Greenwood has clarified the trespassing law regarding creek beds due to numerous complaints by landowners about trespassers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I just wanted to issue a reminder to people fourwheeling or walking creek beds,â&#x20AC;? Greenwood said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Illinois law prohibits trespassing on private property.

This includes creeks that are not navigable.â&#x20AC;?

Greenwood said if a creek goes onto or through private property and is not navigable, it is illegal to go onto the property via the creek. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Public Waters are defined as all lakes, rivers, streams

and waterways which are or were navigable and are open or dedicated to public use including bayous, sloughs, backwaters and submerged lands connected by water to the main channel or body of water during normal flows or stages,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If someone is trespassing on private property, they are subject to arrest. â&#x20AC;&#x153; The following link to Department of Natural Resources may help in determining which bodies of water are considered navigable in the state of Illinois: https://www.dnr.illinois.gov/ WaterResources/Pages/PublicWaters.aspx

Pike County Big Game softball team to host fundraiser

In July 2019, Jennifer Willman, Brooks and Jodi Allen, and Frank McCartney formed a travel ball softball team called Pike County Big Game which will feature 10U and 12U fast-pitch softball.

The group had looked at different scenarios where they could provide opportunities for Pike County girls to get more experience playing softball. It was important to this group that they find ways to get the girls more experience, but also being mindful that girls have other interests. This idea originated with the Pike County All-Stars 10U team that traveled to Beardstown only to lose two straight games. The parents realized that although the Pike County 10U team were talented, the team was at a disadvantage as they played teams with girls who play travel ball. Thus, the parents began this journey to determine what was the best way to help Pike County girls succeed.

The group believed it was necessary to create an indoor practice facility. It was determined that part of one of the JDL buildings could be utilized for an indoor facility consisting of indoor batting cages with turf. Additionally, the group knew that the girls not only love playing soft-

ball, but the girls also possessed a love for the game of basketball.

The group was able to locate a used basketball floor that will be placed in the facility which will present the girls additional opportunities to grow as basketball players. By having both an indoor softball facility and basketball court, the girls will now have access to a place that will allow their love for softball and basketball to grow as the group was aware from the previous season that scheduling time in local gyms for basketball can be difficult and costly.

Jennifer Willman indicated, â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is our hope that we can create a positive environment for these girls and provide them opportunities that were not previously available. It was also important to us that we do something that will benefit girls throughout Pike County. We understand that we could have perhaps fielded more talented teams by having girls from central Illinois and of course everyone likes to win, but our primary goal is to help Pike County girls regardless of where they go to school and make this a positive experience creating memories that will last a lifetime.â&#x20AC;?

Willman further stated, â&#x20AC;&#x153;it is so important to us that the girls have fun and build long-lasting relationships with girls from all parts of our great county. Our hope is to have tryouts in the future, but we are so excited for the group of girls that we have on our 10U and 12U teams. Pike County has so many wonderful athletes and hopefully we will give them opportunities to grow both as athletes and young women.â&#x20AC;?

Jodi Allen added, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am excited that Pike County Big Game has been so warmly received by not only families in Pittsfield, but also families throughout the county. I am thrilled for the opportunity to put this project in motion. I have been overwhelmed by the support of the families and local businesses. It is important that we create an environment that will enable our children to become better athletes and more importantly, better young women.â&#x20AC;?

Please join the Pike County Big Game family on Aug. 17 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Haymakers for their first pork chop fundraiser. Please come out and meet these wonderful young ladies and show your support for the kickoff of Pike County Big Game softball.
