Pike County honors its veterans with trip to D.C. monuments

By BETH ZUMWALT Pike Press

P

erfect weather, a perfect trip and a perfect time is how the 66 veterans making the journey are describing their day Saturday when they took the Great River All-Pike County Honor Flight.

“We had great weather in D.C. – mostly cloudy and comfortable temperatures,” Carlos Fernandes, who organizes the flights, said. “This made for a great day for all to enjoy the many stops we made. Everything ran on schedule throughout the whole day.”

“People ask me what

done before.

“We had done one other previous Honor Flight focused on one group of veterans – members of the 126th Army National Guard unit who all served in Vietnam – that was the only other time we took more than the usual 35 veterans we are more accustomed to,” Fernandez said. “While most of the 66 veterans were from Pike County, not all of them knew each other. The fact that they came from the same county did give them a very unique perspective and there were many opportunities for friends and neighbors to enjoy each other’s company.”

Thirty-five veterans from Hancock County took an Honor Flight together on a previous journey.

Stefanie Rennecker of Barry, along with her brother, Ryan Lowe of Pleasant Hill, were the driving forces behind Saturday’s GRHF. “It was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for these veterans,” Rennecker said. “Not everybody knew everybody, but everybody knew where they were from. There was a lot of camaraderie.”

Myron Casteel of Pittsfield, who served in the U.S. Army from 1961-1963, said he enjoyed the trip immensely. He was accompanied by his son, Larry, a 23-year veteran of the Air Force.

“It was wonderful,” Casteel said.”Wonderful and very emotional.”

Fall trout at King Park

By BETH ZUMWALT Pike Press Anyone wanting to get in a little fishing before hitting the Fall Color Drive is welcome to wet a line any time after 5 a.m.

Saturday, Oct. 21 at King Park in Pittsfield.

For the first time, the City of Pittsfield is sponsoring a fall trout season at King Park Lagoon. For each of the past three years, the city has hosted a spring trout session.

“This is the first year for fall trout fishing,” Kevin Ketchum, alderman and liaison with the park board, said. “The Illinois Department of Natural Resources is going to put 150 pounds of approximately one pound trout in the lagoon for the fall fishing

program.”

The Illinois catchable trout program is funded almost entirely by those who use the program through the sale of Inland Trout Stamps.

To legally harvest trout from any waters that receive catchable trout, fishermen must have an inland trout stamp unless they are under 16 years of age, blind or disabled, or Illinois residents home on leave from the military.

A daily limit of five trout per fisherman is enforced.

Fishing licenses and inland trout stamps are available at sporting good stores, online and through other vendors.

The nurse at right is depicted as looking to the skies for the arrival of a helicopter as her colleague comforts a wounded soldier. Taking in the scene during Saturday’s Honor Flight is Pike County veteran Kenny Gates.

(Continued from A1) Casteel said he had never thought of going on the Honor Flight until the idea for the all-Pike County journey came up.

How did the idea for an All-Pike County Honor Flight come together?

Pleasant Hill had raised enough money two years ago to send 11 Pleasant Hill veterans on the GRHF. “When we saw how excited they were about it, we thought we want to do this again,” Lowe said.

“We were going to draw names out of a hat, but the Honor Flight people said we should pick veterans who were the oldest, like WWII or Korean War.” Lowe said after looking at the situation and talking and thinking about it, it was decided to reach out to other schools and get them involved and do an entire Pike County journey of 35.

“The response was so great, we ended up being able to send a double group,” Lowe said.

Fernandez said he and his colleagues thought it was a great idea when they were first approached.

By BETH ZUMWALT Pike Press Visitors to the Fall Color Drive who visit Time should notice the renovations to the band stand, that sits in the middle of the town park.

“It was looking pretty bad,” Joe Chiatello, one of the many men in the community who worked to restore the near-famous structure, said. “We replaced the solid wood posts that hold it up and also some other wood that needed replaced.”

Chiatello said the group scraped, caulked and painted the bandstand and finished

the work Sunday, just in Time for Fall Color Drive.

“We all worked hard on it,” he said. “Charlie Cox, Kevin Tharp, and myself, all of the Time Community and David Schrock of Martinsburg. Casteels donated toward the project and the local Color Drive committee was very generous.”

Chiatello said several years ago there was a Bagby family who lived in the Time area.

“Last year one of the family members visited the area and noticed how bad the band stand looked,” Chiatello said. “He sent an e-mail to

all of his family and they sent a donation for us to use to fix it up. They said they remembered coming to the park and having ice cream socials on the lower level while the band played in the upper story and they wanted to see it kept up.”

Chiatello said the bandstand once was a scenic spot where people had weddings, parties and took family pictures.

“I hope now that we have it fixed up, people will start to do that kind of stuff again,” he said. “We want people to enjoy it.”

Check out the Champ Clark Bridge webcam Work is has begun to remove the ferry landing on the Illinois side of the Mississippi River near the Champ Clark Bridge, and anyone wanting to view progress can now go online and access the construction web cam.

“This camera takes four to five shots of the bridge an hour at random intervals, so it refreshes every 10 to 15 minutes which gives viewers near real-time work,” said Missouri Department of Transportation Project Manager Keith Killen.

He said the play button shows a condensed slide show of images.

The web cam, along with construction photos and the latest online newsletter, can be accessed by clicking the “What’s Going On Now” button on www.champclarkbridge. com While much work has been done at the

intersection of U.S. 54 and MO 79 in Louisiana, area residents and drivers will soon be able to see crews drilling shafts in the river on the Illinois side in preparation for the construction of the bridge piers.

“The primary purpose of the camera is to allow Missouri and Illinois taxpayers the opportunity to see progress, as well as those who are working on the project,” Killen said. “Many of the 4,000 motorists who use the bridge each day aren’t from the area and may be interested to know what is going on.”.

The Champ Clark Bridge is being replaced with a new bridge just to the south of the old one.

The cost is more than $60 million and is being shared between Missouri and Illinois.

Our View ALL-PIKE HONOR FLIGHT

Wednesday, October 18, 2017, Pittsfield, Illinois

Pile on this weekend!

A star-spangled celebration for our heroes Every person, every family, every community has red letter days in their history that will long be remembered.

For Pike County, Saturday, Oct. 14, 2017 is one of those days.

On this date, 66 military veterans with hearts close to Pike gathered together to be comrades in arms once again. Their branches and times of service were diverse, their military specialties and war stories a patchwork spanning the globe. But on this day their mission was united: Swoop in to Washington, D.C. in the early morning light, see the monuments honoring their military service and return to their home base by bedtime.

Mission accomplished!

This marvel of organization, cooperation and God’s good graces came about thanks to many, many people.

The volunteers with the Great River Honor Flight group provided the technical know-how to make all the gears engage. After 44 successful Honor Flights in recent years, these people knew how to make Flight #45 a flawless event. Buses, wheelchairs, airport security, boarding passes, welcome ceremonies, meals, police escort, mail call – it all came off without a hitch.

And to celebrate the success of the day, family and friends packed the gymnasium at Hannibal LaGrange University to say “Welcome home!” with flags and cheering.

But before the first Pike County veteran could be invited on this glorious adventure, another key component had to be accomplished. Money needed to raised – a lot of it.

Not surprisingly, Pike County met and exceeded the challenge. Fundraisers were held. Word spread.

Donations began to pour in.

What started as an effort to send 33 veterans on a flight of honor snowballed until the bank account totaled enough to sponsor double that number.

The patriotism, generosity and genuine respect that Pike County holds for its veterans shone brightly and resulted in a remarkable day for men who had answered the call and served their country – some in time of combat, some in military support, all in love of the U.S.A. The veterans who made up the All-Pike County Honor Flight last weekend will never forget it. The volunteers who paid for the privilege of traveling in support of the mission won’t forget it, either.

When the histories are written of life in Pike County in the early 21st Century, we predict that this red letter day will be recorded right alongside the election results, business and agricultural innovations and census statistics.

Honor Flight #45 is a testament both to the heroes who served their country and to the citizens who recognized their sacrifice and found a way to say, “Thank you.”

We salute you all.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Honor Flight events, volunteers make a ‘remarkable day’

I don’t think I have quite the words to express my thanks for the awesome experience of the Pike County Honor Flight this past Saturday. The thanks extended to us as veterans all day long, the police escort through the crowded streets of Washington, D.C., the motorcycle and police escort from Bowling Green to Hannibal, and the large crowd of friendly faces when we arrived at Mabee Sports Complex at Hannibal LaGrange University—all these were overwhelming.

This—probably the most remarkable day in our entire lives—touched our hearts and stirred our emotions in ways that are difficult to describe.

We thank all the people involved in the Great River Honor Flight program. We thank all our wonderful guardians who worked all the long day to take care of us.

We thank all the Pike County folks who got the ball rolling for this great day for Pike County veterans. A special thanks to Ryan Lowe and his sister, Stefanie Rennecker, Marcia Hill, Deb Moore, Kerri Rodhouse, Gina Root, Ron and Jorgeanna White, the Pike County Quilters, the Great River Escort Squadron, and so many others, whose efforts are so greatly appreciated by we Pike County veterans.

Recent massacre puts Halloween In perspective

With this upcoming Halloween, I hope our society is opening their eyes to the damaging nature of celebrating the death culture.

If you want to see death and carnage, too bad you were not in Las Vegas Oct. 1 at the concert where there was real blood and gore, not your pretend stuff. I would ask you how do you like it now when you see people dying, blood everywhere, pain, horror and shock in parents,

family, friends? Tell me again how what you see is worth glorifying in your Halloween party and decorations?

Adults who do not protect their children from such “play” and let their children watch horror movies, TV shows and video games that glorify death, rape and violence are contributing to the downfall of our civilized society and changing how the young view and deal with life. It has an effect on them and increases their insensitivity to such violence. We don’t need any more children growing up with a disregard for the suffering and pain of others.

There is nothing cute about seeing a little gradeschooler dressing up as Dracula with blood dripping off his teeth, a werewolf or a witch, let alone older kids with masks that show zombies, goons and gory disfigured faces. If you want to experience this stuff, I’m sorry you missed out on the Las Vegas massacre; I hear there was plenty of it.

Troubling I

cringe every time I see a news story, as I do frequently, about a helpless child who is killed by her mother’s boyfriend, or whatever, all while under the care of the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS).

I wince not because I doubt the professionalism or caring of the DCFS staff, but because they have absolutely impossible jobs.

The latest tragedy to hit the news is about a burly 25-year-old man who assaulted a 59-year-old DCFS female caseworker in Carroll County in northwestern Illinois. The woman suffered serious brain injuries and was in a coma at last report. It’s a tough, dangerous business.

You and I are, in effect, substitute parents (via the powers we have given our state government) for 15,000 children ages birth to 18 who, for a variety of reasons, are outside the homes of their parent(s).

We ask DCFS to care for the children while the agency searches for adoption or foster family care. When unable to find such, many children languish in impersonal group homes until they “age out” at 18.

Other children are under the supervision of the court. I have a good friend who volunteers as a Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA). She visits an assigned family regularly and goes into court to provide her observations as to what is in the best interest of the child(ren).

My friend’s most recent case has to do with a family of six children by four fathers. Would you imagine those children are a bit bewildered, probably worse, by what is going on in their world, with

state of

boyfriends in and out all the time?

DCFS has had a rocky history since its creation in 1960. Again, not because the staff aren’t trying, but because caseworkers have often had impossible caseloads of 250 troubled families each.

Caseworkers are modestly paid yet need the wisdom of Solomon in making a recommendation, as they frequently must, either to let a child remain in a family setting that may have been abusive in the past or take the child from the family.

Over thousands of such decisions, while each handling as many as 250 cases at a time, these frontline workers sometimes make mistakes. We read about the tragedies in the papers and become outraged.

Since 1988, DCFS has been overseen from a distance by the federal court, which monitors a “consent decree” between DCFS and the Illinois chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union.

DCFS agrees to meet certain performance guidelines; sometimes it does, sometimes not.

When it doesn’t, attorney Ben Wolf of the Illinois ACLU, who has overseen DCFS for three decades, screams to the high heavens in court. So, the judge says to the state of Illinois, “You cannot cut any more out of the DCFS budget,” or whatever.

Even so, DCFS employee levels decreased from 2,910 in 2010 to 2,572 in 2015, the last year for which I find good information. The agency has also been a revolving door for 10 directors in the course of the past six years. A stable agency it is not.

Even with the best leadership, there will always be tragedies at DCFS, and

DCFS screaming newspaper headlines. We ask the agency to make whole again families that have fallen apart, if ever they had their act together, and to repair children who have often known nothing but dysfunction and abuse.

Our challenge is to reduce the number of, most often, single-parent families in which DCFS must intervene.

Though I am probably guilty of seeing the past through rose-colored glasses, I think communities of my childhood more than half a century ago did a better, though imperfect, job of imbuing citizens with norms that encouraged the nuclear family. Of course, good jobs for men and women were more available then than today, which helped.

What to do, today?

A friend of mine believes we should require parenting classes in high school for girls and boys. Yet I fear we ask high schools to do too much as it is in a short school day.

Certainly, parenting classes might be required as a condition of receiving state benefits.

“Love goes a long way,” a former DCFS caseworker observed to me recently, “but that is often in short supply.”

I honestly don’t have any great ideas.

I do know we—the state—make terrible parents.

I am impressed with comments readers direct my way. What do you think might be done? I’m at jnowlan3@ gmail.com. n Jim Nowlan is a former state legislator and former senior fellow at the Institute of Government and Public Affairs at the University of Illinois.

The Coonridge Digest: Freida Marie Crump

We’re a society of many true colors Greetings from the Ridge I keep saying it wrong. I well remember my high school biology teacher telling us that when the fall weather hits the leaves lose their chlorophyll, photosynthesis comes to a halt, and the leaves’ natural colors then become evident. Still, I persist in saying things like, “The leaves are taking on such beautiful color,” even though the color was there all along.

Tough weather hits and their true colors shine through.

I had just finished a two-day conference in Chicago. A lady whom I thought must surely be as close to God as anyone I’d ever met conducted the workshop. For two long days she was loving, she was smiling, she was understanding…and tireless.

She’d meet us each day at breakfast, she coaxed and encouraged us for two straight days, and absolutely nothing flustered the gal. The program booklet called her our “facilitator.” I referred to her as “Saint Gwen.”

I remember very little of what I learned in that two-day jaunt, but I shall never forget the specter of this lady whom nothing perturbed and who simply made you feel goose-bump wonderful whenever you were in her presence.

At the close of the conference I went to call a taxi to take me to O’Hare. Saint Gwen heard me ask the hotel clerk for the number and said, “Oh Freida, forget the taxi! I have a car rented and I’m going to the airport. Hop in!”

Gee whiz! A chance to spend another 90 minutes with this Angel of Estrogen. I threw my bags into her back seat and we were soon pulling out into the Chicago traffic.

Robert Lewis Stephenson wrote “The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde” over a hundred years ago. Mr. Stephenson could not possibly have known Saint Gwen, but she was certainly the model for his novel of a mild-mannered person who turns into a raging monster. Once Gwen slipped into the five lanes of high-speed commuter traffic a transformation took place in her character that I would never have imagined and which shot one more hero out of my personal constellation of superwomen.

I’ve never heard a sailor cuss, but Gwen would have sunk even the sturdiest ship of decorum and her gestures were straight out of a barroom. I sat in the passenger seat and just wilted, not so much from the stream of hot blue profanities, but from the steam being let out of my admiration.

When the weather gets rough, the true colors do indeed come through.

A friend of mine home-schools her children. She told me, “No, we don’t get the vaccinations the government tries to cram down our throats.” I didn’t tell her that vaccinations are seldom swallowed as she went on to claim that her kids are perfectly healthy without “the socialist medical programs trying to inoculate kids against everything.” Then in the same conversation she complained about how much medicine she took to relieve her back pain.

BB

ut who wants to talk politics when the trees are parading a kaleidoscope of glory all around us? Who wants to grouse about hypocrites when we’re surrounded by a gentle forest of folks whose true colors only make them glow more spectacularly?

I’d have offered to scratch her back a little but I was afraid that when she bent over her true colors would be showing.

In the coming weeks our representatives in Washington will be voting for or against a (variety of bills.) Talk as much as they like, one lobby group or another funds most of them. Like the summer sunshine that causes the chlorophyll to hide the leaves’ true colors, too much light shed on the Congressional motives will turn their motivations a shade of money green.

But who wants to talk politics when the trees are parading a kaleidoscope of glory all around us? Who wants to grouse about hypocrites when we’re surrounded by a gentle forest of folks whose true colors only make them glow more spectacularly?

Pink has become a power color as this season it’s exploded onto businessmen’s shirts, ball team uniforms, entire school populations and construction workers’ hats as what seems like an entire nation has joined in the fight against breast cancer.

Showing our true colors.

Yellow stripes are very much in fashion when you hear the fire siren at two a.m. and look out the window to see your fire

department...volunteer or otherwise…take off through the rain for a single purpose… to help someone in need. True colors.

Volunteers come in many colors and the national statistics tell us that although the economic crisis and loss of jobs has caused many of us to cut back on our monetary donations, the actual amount of volunteer hours is approaching an all-time high. A local hospital volunteer coordinator recently told me that she’s looking for places to put people. True colors.

We are…most of us…getting used to the fact that our White House, our Supreme Court, and every position of authority in our nation is being well served by our fellow Americans of various colors. It’s been perhaps the greatest psychological struggle in our still-young nation’s history, but you know what? We’re getting there. We really are. Many colors…all of them true.

You ever in Coonridge, stop by. We may not answer the door but you’ll enjoy the trip.

PICKINGS FROM PIKE’S PAST

150 YEARS AGO: FAKE NEWS IN NEW YORK NEWSPAPERS 150 Years Ago Oct. 17, 1867 The pleasant weather we are having, while too dry for the wheat, is most excellent for work. Now is the time to get ready for the stormy days of winter, to prepare feed and shelter for stock. And the roads too, don’t forget that they will soon be froze up, and you should look to the bad places now. But above all, if you would be happy, vote the Democratic ticket at the November election.

Our county jail has not a single inmate and hasn’t had any for ten days past. The above fact is very creditable to the “Copperhead” county of Pike, containing a population of 30,000.

A little boy told a lie and when his mother asked if he knew where liars went, he said, “Yes, they go to New York and write for newspapers.”

Mr. Editor—Allow me to use your column to inform the public that the Catholics of Pittsfield and vicinity, have at last become tired of an old church, giving a poor accommodation to scarcely one half of the congregation.

They understand the soul cannot commune with God unless the body be perfectly at ease, and are determined that by the time another spring has rolled around, they will have a new brick church, which will reflect credit on them, and be a new ornament to Pittsfield.

125 Years Ago Oct. 19, 1892 At least we have had a good rain in the Perry vicinity, and we are in hopes that we will have no more dusty roads this fall. The pastures and wheat, which were needing rain so badly, are now looking fine.

El Dara needs to have a calaboose. There ought to be

some place to put those fellows who make a practice of getting drunk before breakfast every Sunday morning.

On Monday evening some sinner tried to enter the store of J. O. Strubinger by prying off the cellar door, but was frightened off at the moment of success.

Col. A. C. Matthews will speak for the Republicans in Perry at the Arcana hall tonight.

The buildings of the Barry fair grounds were sold and brought $800. Barry and Pittsfield are thus on a par in fair matters—neither has a fair anymore.

The new pump at the Pittsfield public well was started Tuesday night, and we can now have water from it to supplement the rains of Friday and Tuesday morning, which made life worth living.

The new engine house at the Pittsfield depot is large and commodious, and is nearly completed. The next thing in order is a new depot, so badly needed for the comfort and convenience, not only of travelers, but the station agent who finds his quarters altogether too contracted for the increased business of the railroad.

At the Congregational Church next Sunday evening Rev. J. O. Emerson will begin a series of sermons on “Pilgrim’s Progress,” illustrated with the stereopticon.

100 Years Ago Oct. 17, 1917 Corn this year has been the highest that it has been at any time in the county’s history, $1.75 per bushel.

Grain farmers who are holding back their wheat with the hope of a greater price than the price fixed in the last week of August, will be disappointed. There will be no change in the wheat price for

1917 crops.

Another shipment was made from the Pike County Chapter Red Cross last week, which contained some beautiful knitted work, all of which was the work of Pittsfield women.

Arthur Ator has sold to Fred Ghrist the place owned by him in the southwest part of town for a consideration of $1,000.

A few days ago the humane officer of Quincy was at Shepherd and reports the contractor during levee work near that place was abusing the teams employed there.

The officer left a warning that the teams must be treated humanely or prosecution will follow.

Our policy to help feed our allies this winter is to eat less wheat, beef, pork, dairy products and sugar, so we can ship more of these products. We in Pike should eat other foods, which we have, in abundance, such as potatoes, other vegetables, fish and poultry.

Forty-two young men of Pike are pictured in the Pike County Republican on the steps of the courthouse before departing for Camp Taylor, Kentucky. They include such well-known Pike County names as Zimmerman, Dunham, Smith, Boren, Stark, Neese, Shaw, Forgey and Hill.

75 Years Ago Oct. 21, 1942 Eldon Watts, former Pike Station resident, was lost when the Vincennes was sunk in the Solomons.

With collections totaling approximately 70,000 pounds, or 35 tons, the Pittsfield public schools are winding up their scrap campaigns. The tonnage thus far does not represent any scrap from the rural areas.

Pike County has a chance to vote for a small tuberculosis tax to control tuberculosis, which always shows a rising rate in time of war.

There have been 20 deaths in Pike from the disease in the past two years, and there are 15 known active cases in the county now.

50 Years Ago Oct. 18, 1967 Dr. Jean M. Mefford has announced the opening of her chiropractic office at 130 N. Monroe on the east side of the square. Mrs. Mefford graduated in December of 1966 from Palmer College of Chiropractic in Davenport, Iowa. She has three children: Roxanne, 13; Dan 14; and Rebecca, 16.

One person was killed and seven injured in four separate accidents in Pike County within the past week.

Tom Dell has been chosen Jaycee of the Month by the Pittsfield Jaycees for his work on the Jaycee Park at the city lake. Dell, 24, is married to the former Sue Norris of New Salem, and is an associate in the O. B. Dell & Son firm in Pittsfield.

Pittsfield kept its undefeated and unscored on record intact Friday night, defeating the Christian Brothers Raiders of Quincy 33-0. A blocked punt illustrated Coach Don Pollard’s repeated assertion that defense paves the way to touchdowns.

Miss Carol Joette Barton, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Dallas Barton of Nebo, became the bride of Phillip Wayne Freesmeyer, son of Mr. and Mrs. Floyd Freesmeyer, Jr., of Hamburg, in a candle light ceremony Saturday, Oct. 7 at 7 p.m. in the Nebo Baptist Church.

25 Years Ago Oct. 14, 1992 Brandi Wilder, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Gary Wilder of Pittsfield, was crowned queen of the Pittsfield High School homecoming last week. Her escort was football tri-captain, Jeff Ator.

Guest Column: By Lee H. Hamilton

I

’ve been reminded recently of the old cowboy song, “Home on the Range.”

You know the line, “Where never is heard a discouraging word”? That is not the United States right now. It feels like pretty much everywhere I turn, all I hear is discouragement.

But the question we have to confront is not, “What’s going wrong?” It’s, “How do we respond?”

As always, the answer to our problems does not lie in efforts to tinker with the structures we’ve erected or the systems we’ve created. It lies in us — in the American people. Whatever our political beliefs, we share some characteristics that I think

It’s what we do that counts give us cause for hope.

I’ve always thought that Carl Schurz, a German-born U.S. senator from Missouri, summed up something basic about the American character when he said, on the floor of the Senate in 1872, “My country right or wrong; when right, to keep her right; when wrong, to put her right.”

Americans respect the ideals of this country. They’re devoted to those ideals — freedom, liberty, justice for all — and they want the nation to live up to them. Even when we believe the nation is falling short of its ideals, we’re moved not by malice or hatred, but because we want to make the United States stronger and fairer.

Americans in overwhelming numbers believe in and respect what this country stands for. All of us also recognize that this nation has its faults — some of them deep-seated and stubborn. We believe that America can do better. But there is a broad streak of pragmatism in this country. Again and again in times of adversity, we see Americans of all backgrounds and political perspectives pitching in to help out. Americans believe in the values of hard work, the importance of family, self-sufficiency, community engagement and involvement.

This is why, however dire things appear in Washington, I continue to believe that we have it within us to set the country back

on a productive track. We know that in order for us to progress we all have to give something back — that with freedom and liberty comes responsibility.

And when we see others stand up for the nation’s ideals and act to broaden opportunity for others, it sends, as Robert Kennedy said, “a ripple of hope” through the community that, in time, becomes an unstoppable current of change. n Lee Hamilton is a Senior Advisor for the Indiana University Center on Representative Government.

Karen Lawber

Karen M. Lawber, 66, of Griggsville passed away Thursday, Oct. 12, 2017 at Eastside Healthcare and Rehabilitation Center in Pittsfield. She was born on May 18, 1951 in Chicago to Frank and Irma Pini Czerwinski. Karen married Lloyd Lawber in Franklin Park, Ill. May 14, 1977 and he survives.

Karen attended Scott Elementary School in Melrose Park, where she won the American Legion Award, and graduated from West Leyden High School in North Lake in 1969. After high school, she went on to college at Western Illinois University where she graduated with a Bachelor‘s Degree in Special Education in 1973. She came to Pittsfield the same year and began teaching for Unit #10 until her retirement in 2011. Karen first taught the Educable Mentally Handicapped and then went on to teach children with learning disabilities. She will be remembered for her huge heart and her love for her students, as well as her fellow colleagues. Outside of teaching, Karen was instrumental in helping Lloyd‘s dream of developing the All Wars Museum become a reality and served as the treasurer. The museum was a huge part of their life. She was a volunteer at the Dana-Thomas House in Springfield and a member of HCE and a knitting club. Karen was an amazing cook, her passion was Italian food. She loved to knit and rescued many animals. She also enjoyed going to the Fox

Theater to see musicals with her girlfriends. Most of all, her family was her world and if her picture was in the dictionary, it would be next to the word Grandma.

She is survived by her husband, Lloyd Lawber; two sons, Jeffrey (wife, Kim Schulz) Lawber of Portland, OR and Ryan (wife, Erinn) Lawber of Chicago; two grandchildren, Emmett Lawber and Ramona Lawber, both of Portland; a brother, Kenneth (wife, Karen) Czerwinski of Huntley; and also several cousins survive.

She is preceded in death by her parents.

Funeral services will be held Wednesday, Oct. 18 at 11 a.m. at Niebur Funeral Home in Pittsfield. Burial will be at Pleasant Grove Cemetery. A visitation was held Tuesday, Oct. 17 from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. at the funeral home. Memorials are suggested to the Pike County All Wars Museum or Pike County Special Olympics. Online condolences may be left at www. nieburfh.com. Niebur Funeral Home has been entrusted with the services.

Stay alert while sightseeing along Great River Road To make traveling the Meeting of the Great Rivers National Scenic Byway a pleasurable outing for everyone this fall, the Illinois Department of Transportation reminds travelers to exercise caution and share the road responsibly.

“The Great River Road is a wonderful fall tourist destination,” Illinois Transportation Secretary Randy Blankenhorn said. “At IDOT, we are proud to share our state’s scenic byways with travelers, but we also want to make every effort to ensure everyone arrives at their destinations safely.”

Each year, the byway’s abundant autumn colors and spectacular scenery attract thousands of visitors and sightseers, including numerous bicyclists and motorcyclists, as well as motorists who are new to the area.

The narrow stretch between Grafton and Alton

known as the Great River Road can be particularly busy and challenging to navigate as a result. For the second year in a row, IDOT has placed digital message signs along this narrow shared roadway, bordered by towering cliffs and the Mississippi River, to remind motorists and cyclists to remain alert and use caution. Last year, IDOT made several safety enhancements along the roadway, including freshly painted pavement markings and bike trail symbols.

Illinois State Police and local law enforcement also will step up enforcement in the area to remind travelers to be safe while enjoying the scenery.

Illinois is home to seven nationally designated Scenic Byways. For more information, visit IDOT’s Scenic Byways page at idot.illinois. gov.

Opioid overdose reversal drug more readily available Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH) Director Nirav D. Shah, M.D., J.D. announced Oct. 3 the release of the Illinois Naloxone Standing Order (Standing Order). This Standing Order makes a drug that is able to reverse the effects of an opioid overdose more readily available to first responders and the community.

“We are seeing an alarming increase in the number of people in Illinois dying due to opioid overdoses,” Director Shah said. “By making it easier to obtain, distribute, and administer the opioid overdose reversal drug naloxone, commonly called Narcan, we can help save the lives of some of the 1,900 estimated annual opioid overdose deaths.”

In September 2015, Illinois enacted Public Act 99-0480 (Act), expanding access to naloxone, which can be used to reverse opioid overdoses, including those caused by heroin, fentanyl, and certain prescription pain medications. The law authorizes trained pharmacists and first responders to dispense naloxone. However, a prescrip-

tion is needed to dispense naloxone. The Standing Order acts as that prescription and authorizes pharmacies, pharmacists, and opioid overdose education and naloxone distribution (OEND) programs to obtain and/or distribute naloxone. Non-pharmacy OEND programs may include law enforcement agencies, drug treatment programs, local health departments, hospitals or urgent care facilities, or other community-based organizations.

The Naloxone Standardized Procedure outlines how entities may become authorized to obtain, dispense, and administer naloxone. It also includes the educational requirements for obtaining a Standing Order, and for administering naloxone.

The Standing Order fulfills one of the duties assigned to IDPH under Governor Bruce Rauner’s Executive Order 2017-05. For more information about the Standing Order and the recently released State of Illinois Opioid Action Plan, log onto http://dph.illinois.gov/naloxone.

He was a great inspiration for his family, especially his nieces and nephews who grew up around Chuck, making them better people.

Joi Cuartero Austin was the guest speaker, Thursday, Oct. 12 at HCE’s annual international dinner. She spoke on the Philippines. Austin, who has always lived in the United States, is the daughter of parents who immigrated to the United States in 1983. She still has lots of family in the Philippines.

HCE hosts speaker about Philippines

By BETH ZUMWALTs Pike Press After enjoying a delicious Philippine-inspired meal, the ladies of the Pike County HCE enjoyed a slide show presentation from Joi Cuartero Austin, a first generation American of Philippino descent.

Cuartero-Austin said the Philippines have beautful, white sand beaches and English is the most common language spoken.

“If you come to the Philippines, you will find that it is the fifth largest English speaking country,” she said.

With a population of 100,900,000 people, Cuartero-Austin said in the Philippines, family is number one and respect for elders is second.

“We are also the top suppliers of nurses worldwide,” she said. “Approximately 25 percent of all nurses are from the Philippines.”

The country is 90 percent Christian and for 300 years was under Spanish rule.

“We waged a revolution for our freedom from Spain at the same time as the SpanishAmerican War,” she said.

“Our country was transferred

Cuartero-Austin said she grew up under Philippine customs.

“No dating until your are in college and no leaving home until married,” she said. “My father has lost his accent and he attributes that to watching television.”

She showed slides of the

native dance, some of the scenic spots in the Island and other significant features of her parents’ native country – such as the Chocolate Hill, the Bohol or rain forest and water falls.

The evening concluded with Cuartero-Austin and Elvie Del Rosario, who is also from the Philippines, showing some artifacts and treasures from the country.

Door prize winners were: Nancy Mills, Barbara Dunham and Marsha Miller.

Pike County Life Chain Approximately 50 people came to the annual Life Chain to stand curbside on the square in Pittsfield Sunday, Oct. 1 from 1-2:30 p.m. They stood as a witness to the dignity of human life in the womb for those driving by. The purpose is to educate people so that society will no longer tolerate the killing of babies in the womb — abortion — and that laws will no longer allow legalized abortion. In the United States alone, nearly 60 million babies have been killed while developing in the womb.

Friends, family, veterans enjoy trip together

Carl Blacketer is welcomed home Saturday night at Hannibal LaGrange University in Hannibal, Mo. Veterans say the welcome home ceremony is a fitting way to end such a memorable day.

Floyd Hayes, a Pittsfield veteran of Vietnam, was among those studying the names on the Vietnam War monument.

Phil Craven and Dewayne Kessinger, both of Griggsville, were on Saturday’s Great River Honor Flight.

Larry and Myron Casteel take a break while on the Great River Honor Flight Saturday.

Although Larry went on the trip as his father’s guardian, he served 23 years in the Air Force.

Myron was in the Army in the early ‘60s.

Upon arrival at Reagan Airport for the flight home, the Great River Honor Flight group received the welcome news that their flight was “on time.” Cooperative weather kept the group on schedule throughout the day.

We welcome more photos!

The All-Pike County Honor Flight held Saturday, Oct. 14, 2017 was an historic event. All photos of the trip printed in this week’s edition of Pike Press were submitted by those who participated. We would love to print photos of every veteran who was able to make this unique trip. If you would like to submit a photo of a veteran on the All-Pike flight, please email them to ppnews@campbellpublications.net.

Duke Schlieper took the Honor Flight with his brother, Jason. The two visited a lesser known portion of the Vietnam Memorial. Most everyone is familiar with the wall with the names of those who died in Vietnam but the statue of the three soldiers is also a part of the memorial and was added to give a more traditional monument to the proud veterans of that war.

Brothers-in-law, cousins, nephews all enjoy the Great River Honor Flight. Left to right, Dave Grogan and his son, Scott, along with Phil McAllister and his grandson, Austin, enjoyed the day as a family. Grogan and McAllister are brothers-in-law.

It is almost tradition that military veterans be greeted by USO girls and Phil McAllister, left and Terry Wassell, both of Pittsfield, were more than happy to keep up the ritual at the World War II monument. Both men had lipstick marks after their encounter with the “girls.”

Darin Workman, left, served as guardian for his father, Dennis Workman.

Army veteran and Pike County State’s Attorney Zack Boren, right, served as guardian for three members of Saturday’s Honor Flight – from left, his uncle Bill Boren; family friend Steve Grimes; and his father, Michael Boren. The four were all smiles in the early morning hours, awaiting departure from Hannibal LaGrange University.

Grandchild of local couple finds, returns bag of cash Blake Leonard, a fifth grader in Texas, recently found a bag with thousands of dollars in checks and cash, during a shopping trip with his father and turned it over to the police in Texas.

Blake and his father, Michael, were shopping for his 11th birthday when he saw a bag filled with money in the Best Buy parking lot in Flower Mound, Texas.

The bag was filled with $2,000 in cash, along with thousands more in checks.

Blake never once thought about keeping the bag because he said that would be stealing.

When police located the owner of the bag, she speculated her child in the car had accidentally kicked the bag out. The police chief in Flower Mound, Texas wants to recognize Blake at an

Blake Leonard upcoming city council meeting.

Local grandparents of Blake are Steve and Connie Hammitt of Rockport and great-grandparents are Richard and Mary Ann Heightman of Pittsfield.

Lady Wildcats finishing season strong

OUTDOORS with Wayne Baughman

Duck season starts Oct. 28 The Extension Service did a good job of addressing the control issue for Japanese beetle this past week.

Over the weekend I saw a couple of clusters of geese moving in an erratic fashion in the overcast skies. I thought they could be Brant geese because of their constant chattering calls.

In a conversation with Tim Krumweide, one of our local wildlife specialists, Tim said it was more likely the geese were the White-fronted species that have a similar calling pattern to Brant and also fly in a swirling format. Brant are not as common in our area as the much larger Canada geese, but their sufficient number are included in the Illinois harvest regulations.

Regardless of the unidentified species, the changing weather and the movement of the birds is a reminder that the 2017 waterfowl season will soon begin.

The overall outlook for

waterfowl numbers is positive.

Annual surveys by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, along with Canadian official surveys and those conducted by agencies in the northern tier of the states that produce much of broods, point to another good reproduction year. This is in spite of extremely dry conditions in several of the states.

According to these combined reports, the duck population is only down 2 percent compared to last year, but is 34 percent above a 60 year average. Canada goose population is up over 2016. It should be noted that a substantial portion of Illinois’ Canada geese are birds that are “home bodies,” that is, they don’t migrate. They nest and raise their offspring on local ponds, lakes and larger streams.

The bulk of the Canadians we see are local reared birds. They stay in the area most of the year, leaving only when extended stretches of severe winter weather causes them to move

to areas with open water and access to food.

The problem of over populations of Snow geese continues to frustrate waterfowl managers. Snow geese are aggressive competitors of Canada geese in the northern tundra reproduction areas. The only real control is increased harvest of the Snows and related species. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service in cooperation with numerous states will again permit an early spring season to help reduce the population of Snow, Blue and Ross’ geese. The wary nature of these species and the fact they travel in large flocks, often numbering in the hundreds, make them difficult to hunt.

The regular season for ducks for our region is Oct. 28 through Dec. 26. The Canada goose season is a split arrangement beginning Oct. 28 through Nov. 5 and then Nov. 12 through Jan. 31.

Mandy Mellon/Pike Press

Haleigh Conkright, #11 sets up Tori Predmore in a home game last week. Conkright had five sets in the Griggsville-Perry game and Predmore led the team in kills in the Meredosia game.

By BETH ZUMWALT Pike Press The Western Lady Wildcats are gearing up for the Pike County Conference Tournament and regional action. The Lady Wildcats won their two final games of the season, a 25-18, 25-19 win over GriggsvillePerry and a 25-16, 20-25, 25-16 match over Meredosia last week.

In the Meredosia game, Tori Predmore led the team in aces with five and kills with 10.

Haylee Smith had three aces, and eight serve receives.

Paige Snyder had seven kills and two blocks; Aftyn Harrison had 17 digs, 16 serve receives; Janessa Grammar and 11 digs.

Chloe Mellon had 13 sets and Haleigh Conkright had 11.

Versus Griggsville-Perry,

Smith had four aces, Snyder three.

Haley Flores had six kills, Predmore, five.

Harrison had 11 digs, Mellon had 10.

Harrison had eight serve/ receives, Grammar had five.

Predmore had two blocks, Flores had one.

Mellon had nine sets, Conkright had five.

The final score was the Cardinals easily winning 60-6.

The Saukee offense ended with four turnovers, which proved to be a big result for the score deficit.

Jack Palmer passed for 79 yards including one 51 yard completion. Derek Neupauer rushed for 32 yards and Palmer

ran one in for a rushing touchdown. Isaac Shaw made a big impact on defense leading with eight tackles, followed by Alex Reel and Jack Heafner with five, and James Gwartney and Wade Howland with four.

This makes the Saukees

record 0-8. The Pittsfield/ Griggsville Saukees will next play the Riverton Hawks who are also 0-8. This will be the last game of the Saukees season and they are desperately going to finish the season of with a victory.

Watch that bounty Trick-or-treating tips for rural residents

File photo

While trick or treating is a fun activity, parents and adults should be sure to monitor what their children receive in their Halloween bags.

Adulterated candy isn’t the only hazard that kids face on Halloween.

Keep your trick or treater safe this Halloween with these 10 tips.

Glow-in-the-dark jewelry and glow sticks are used by parents to keep their children visible while trick-or-treating.

Children may break open these glow sticks getting the liquid on their hands and in their mouths which can be mildly irritating to the skin or eyes but is not likely to cause harm if a small amount is ingested.

Children should not eat treats until they return home and all items have been inspected by an adult. Torn, loose or punctured wrapping may be a sign of tampering which should be reported to the police.

Limit the amount of candy ingested at one time. Too much candy can cause stomach discomfort, and sugars and other sweeteners can act as laxatives when consumed in large amounts.

If a child brings home a brand of candy that is not familiar, throw it away.

Some imported candies have high levels of lead that can be harmful.

Candy that is unwrapped should be discarded immediately.

Fruit treats should be washed and cut open before being eaten.

Homemade treats should be discarded unless the individuals who prepared them are well known and trusted.

Small pieces of candy are potential choking hazards for small children.

Fog making machines can use hazardous liquids. Dry ice should never be handled with bare hands, and the gas produced must be well ventilated.

Some Halloween makeup contains lead as do many regular cosmetics.

Read the label carefully and check with poison control for safe makeup to use on children.

If someone were commissioned to paint a picture of Halloween bliss, it would probably showcase a neighborhood full of children ringing doorbells and gathering treats.

Millions of children and adults participate in the annual ritual of trickor-treating. For urban and suburban children, close-by neighbors make it quite easy to fill up sacks of candy. However, people who live in rural areas - where homes may be miles away from one another - may find that traditional trick-or-treating poses a challenge.

For kids who live by farmland or off country roads, trick-or-treating may not be a stroll through a well-lit area with sidewalks and welcoming neighbors with open doors. Such youngsters may have to traverse dark roads and dodge motorists who do not expect people to be walking on the shoulder.

So what is a rural kid, or any child whose resides in an area that is not conducive to trick-ortreating, to do? n Hit the road. Plan a road trip to a neigh-

borhood where trick-ortreating is encouraged in full force and is safe and inviting. Friends or family members may live in such neighborhoods and can host "out-of-town" trick-or-treaters. Others who are choosing a town off a map may want to try an app called Nextdoor.

It is a free and private social media site for neighbors that employs a Treat Map. Halloween fans can see exactly which houses are trickor-treat friendly. In 2014, Zillow issued a list of the 20 best neighborhoods for trick-or-treating as well. n Head to a shopping center. While it may not be the same as going door-to-door, rural residents can trick-or-treat at nearby shopping centers.

Many shopping centers and malls host area children and dispense treats. n Organize a trunkor-treat. Trunk-or-treat events involve various participants parking in a community lot and opening their trunks or truck hatches to crowds of trick-or-treaters. Often these events are hosted by churches, schools or

Trick-or-treating can be challenging for kids growing up in rural areas.

But with a little ingenuity, such youngsters can secure their Halloween bounty as well.

and walk down through the aisles formed by our great American flags! Those on the flight from the Griggsville-Perry area were Dewayne Kessinger, Lew Wade, John Lightle, Walt Suhling, Dennis Workman of Griggsville, and Ed Phillips, Sr. of Perry. If you haven’t attended one of these homecomings to support our veterans, I highly recommend it!

We extend our sympathy to the family of Karen Lawber of Pittsfield. Karen passed away at Eastside Healthcare in Pittsfield on Oct. 12.

I’ve had a perfectly good evening, but this wasn’t it.Groucho Marx
