Soldier surprises daughter at pre-k

NEWS

By CARMEN ENSINGER Scott County Times A little girl in the Winchester pre-k program got the surprise of her life Friday when her father, who has been deployed in South Korea for the past five months surprised her at the door of her classroom.

Chloe Bartman, 4, ran into the open arms of her father, Timothy Murphy (Murphy is in the process of adopting the little girl) and tears streamed down her face as she was so happy to see him.

Murphy didn’t come empty handed – he brought her a huge unicorn stuff animal. Apparently Chloe is obsessed with unicorns as was evidenced by the glitter unicorn on her shirt.

Murphy, the father of three children, joined the U.S. Army in 2015 and has been station in South Korea with the 55th Military Police Company for the past five months.

Two weeks before he was deployed, his wife, Brooke gave birth to their son, Austin, and Murphy will be in Winchester on maternity leave for the next 24 days before he finishes up his deployment in South Korea in seven months.

In addition to Chloie, Murphy is also the father of two year old Taylor, who was just as thrilled to see her father as Chloe.

Murphy said it was his wife’s idea to surprise Chloe at school. “We have been planning

this for about a month and have tried our best to keep it a secret from her,� Murphy said. “She knew I would be coming home for awhile but she didn’t know when and she certainly wasn’t expecting to see me at her school.�

Murphy said when this tour of duty is over, he will be coming home to be a fulltime father and husband. “I’m coming towards the end of my contract with the military and I have spent enough time away fro my family,� he said. “I’m coming up on five years of active duty so I’ve done my service.

In seven months I will return to the States where I will serve out the remainder of my contract which ends in November of 2020.�

Both passengers were wearing seatbelts at the time of the accident.

The driver, Blair, was cited for driving under the influence of drugs. The investigation is continuing, and further charges are pending.

Progressive Dinner scheduled for Nov. 1

By CARMEN ENSINGER Scott County Times One cannot say that the Winchester Civic Group is afraid of trying new things because their latest endeavor – a Progressive Dinner – is definitely not your typical event.

The event was the brainchild of Civic Group Vice President Jackie Kuchy. It will be held Nov. 1 with two seatings scheduled and a possibility of a third. “We have been focused on retailers and really wanted to support our eateries and dining options here in Winchester,�

Kuchy said. “Our committee wants to build a sense of excitement and culture around our downtown area so we thought this would be a unique way to draw people out. If locals

aren’t patronizing our existing establishments how can we expect people to come to our community and support these businesses?�

The Progressive Dinner process is simply the act of moving to a new location for each course. “In our case, this is a fourcourse meal that will take approximately two hours (30 minutes at each location) to complete,� Kuchy said. “Youre $25 ticket covers your course servings and tea/water at each location. Additional beverages may be purchased at some of the locations for those who are interested.

Course one will be served at the Great Scott Community Market and will consist of appetizers.

Course two will be served at the Outreach Community Center and will consist of soup or salad prepared by Kevin Evans.

Course three will be the main entrĂŠe and will be served at the Pittstop. One will have a choice between spaghetti and meatballs or fettuccini alfredo with chicken and garlic bread.

Course four will be dessert consisting of cheesecake served at The Russett Cup and prepared by Courtney Sandidge.

Seating begins at either 5:30 or 6:30 p.m. and is limited to 30 people per seating.

Tickets an be purchased from Kuchy or from the Great Scott Community Market. “If there is enough interest we will add a 7:30 p.m. seating as well,� Kuchy said.

Winchester Civic Group selling Memorial Trees

By BETH ZUMWALT Scott County Times The Winchester Civic Group is selling Memorial Trees now until the end of the week. “We have to have our order sent in by Oct. 25,�

Sonie Hoover, who along with her sister, Stevie VanDeVelde, are chairing the project for the Winchester Civic Group.

The trees are $65.

Hoover said the trees are living three-foot Canadian hemlock and will be purchased locally. There is a limited quantity available. “The trees can be purchased by family, friends or organizations in honor of a loved one,� Hoover said. “ Each tree will have a light and a bow on it, but those who purchase the trees can decorate them any way they

want.�

The trees will line the Winchester square and will be officially lit, Dec. 7 at the conclusion of the Christmas Parade, right around dusk.

Memorial trees will be announced at the square immediately following the lighting and will appear in the Scott County Times.

After January 1, the donors of the trees can pick them up and take them else where to be replanted.

Any trees not picked up will be donated to the City of Winchester for beautification of the town.

This will be the third year for the tree project and each of the previous two years have seen a good response from the community.

Contact Hoover at 217370-9826 or VanDeVelde at 217-473-7253 to place an order.

Dakota Access pipeline donates $20K to Scott County Emergency Management

By DAVID CAMPHOUSE Scott County Times Dakota Access Pipeline, LLC donated $20,000 to each Emergency Management Agency across Illinois in the counties through which the pipeline traverses, totaling $240,000.

Dakota Access will make similar donations to county emergency management agencies across its four-state route, totaling $1 million across 50 counties in North Dakota, South Dakota, Iowa and Illinois.

According to Scott County emergency management director Scott Daws, the agency will use the $20,000 received from Dakota Access to purchase a side-by-side ATV. “The state keeps asking

GREAT STORIES EXCEED COMFORT FOR HUNTERS I

love hunting the Midwest.

I’ve been going there for several years and look forward to it each year at this time. Not only do I get to see some friends that I have come to know, but I get to chase some really big bucks. Sometimes (if not most of the time), I get to chase them in difficult weather conditions.

Since I’m there in early November, I know it’s going to be pretty cold. I also know I’m going to face some pretty stiff winds.

And since I’m there for several days, it’s most likely going to rain.

This trip is usually very taxing on the mind and body. I can remember many times sitting in a blowing rain and the same amount of time trying to stay warm while a cold wind is hitting me directly in the face. I will come home from there with a full beard, lips chapped, wind-burned, and looking like I just met God on the mountain to receive the Ten Commandments (except where I hunt, there are no mountains).

In spite of all of these difficulties, not only do I keep going back, I keep looking forward to it year after year. If you are a hunter, you know why I keep doing this.

It’s because of the trophy. It’s because the prize exceeds all the difficulties. It’s because the comfort of a great story exceeds the pain of 12 hours in a tree stand. But really, as you know, it’s more than that.

Since I rarely kill a big buck, I can’t say the trophy is the reason I continue to go.

Actually, I go for only the potential for the trophy. It’s not the prize but the possibility for the prize.

I keep returning year after year with equal enthusiasm, enduring everything Mother Nature throws at me, because I simply have an amazing opportunity. To me, it is really neat that I have found something so worthwhile, I am committed to only its potential.

I’ve seen signs for its existence. I have watched it from afar. I have even had its presence cause my heart to rattle its cage of ribs.

But, none of these contain the full measure of a rare success. None of these are full and complete.

Heaven also seems to be this way – even my own Christian walk… and God. I live this life mainly for its potential. I have seen many signs for its reality. I have watched the work of God from afar. I have also had his presence rattle my heart.

But, I really only live on a promise, that one day what is now potential and possibility, will become sight. I can only imagine what the prize will be if the potential has so much draw.

Police departments, health agencies join forces to support Drug Take-Back Day Residents in Morgan and Scott counties can turn in expired, unused or unwanted prescription drugs at three locations as part of national Prescription Drug Take-Back Day Oct. 26.

Sponsored by the Drug Enforcement Administration, the day provides an opportunity for people to rid their homes of potentially dangerous expired, unused and unwanted prescription drugs.

Local residents can dispose of their prescription drugs from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Saturday, Oct. 26, at the following sites: Jacksonville Police Department, 200 W. Douglas Ave.; South Jacksonville Police Department, 1810 Sequoia Drive; and Scott County Health Department, 335 W. Cherry St., Winchester.

At a Drug Take-Back Day last April, more than 100 pounds of prescription drugs were dropped off at the Jacksonville Police Department.

The service is free and anonymous; no questions will be asked. Medications may be left in their packaging. The sites cannot accept liquids or needles, only pills or patches.

Staff with the Jacksonville Police Department and with Memorial Behavioral Health-Jacksonville will be in the police department’s parking lot, where people can drive up and hand over their prescription medicine. People who arrive after the designated collection hours can discard their unused medications in a 24/7 drop box in

the Jacksonville Police Department lobby.

Drop boxes are also available during business hours at Scott County Health Department; Walgreens, 1802 W. Morton Ave., Jacksonville; and CVS, 936 Main St., Jacksonville. “The majority of misused and abused drugs are obtained from family and friends, including someone else’s medication being stolen from the home medicine cabinet,�

Jacksonville Police Chief Adam Mefford said. “Drug Take-Back Day addresses a vital public safety and public health issue.�

Memorial Behavioral Health-Jacksonville will distribute informational materials on medication safety and behavioral health at the Jacksonville Police Department. “Rates of prescription drug abuse in the United States are alarmingly high, as are the number of accidental poisonings and overdoses due to these drugs,� Patti Torchia, manager of Memorial Behavioral Health-Jacksonville, said. “Medicines that are left to sit in home cabinets are highly susceptible to diversion, misuse and abuse.�

The usual methods by which many people dispose of drugs – flushing them down toilets or throwing them in the trash – pose safety and health hazards and are not good for the environment, Torchia said.

Last year, Americans turned in more than 900,000 pounds of prescription drugs at sites operated by the DEA and state and local law enforcement.

Manar honored for work for independent pharmacies

The Illinois Pharmacists Association honored State Senator Andy Manar last week with its Honorary CoPresident Award for his work on behalf of local pharmacists in Illinois. Manar has ushered through legislation that has positively impacted pharmacies in rural and underserved communities. “The rising costs associated with prescription medication are hurting consumers and pharmacists alike, and that’s why I’ve focused on doing everything I can to protect Illinoisans from out of control drug expenses and keeping local, independent pharmacists in business,� said Manar, a Bunker Hill Democrat. “It’s an honor to be recognized for that work and I want to thank the Illinois Pharmacists Association for selecting me for this award.�

In 2017, Manar fought for the creation of Illinois’ Critical Access Pharmacy Program in the state budget, which provides support to small business owners to help keep pharmacies open in underserved areas.

Although funding for the program was initially delayed under the administration of former Gov. Bruce Rauner, Manar successfully pressed Gov. JB Pritzker to jumpstart the program. The Department of Healthcare and Family Services released $10 million this year to assist local pharmacies.

This spring, Manar passed legislation that would impose Illinois’ first ever regulations on pharmacy benefit managers (PBMS), which drive up the cost of prescription drugs and eliminate competition from small, independent pharmacies. The legislation included several measures aimed at reducing the influence of PBMs, including a provision eliminating the gag clause that prevents pharmacists from suggesting lower cost medications for patients.

Pictured are State Sen. Andy Manar, left, and pharmacist Byron Berry from Pharmacy Plus, which operates in Pike, Scott and Greene counties, plus other locations.

It was signed into law by Pritzker in August.

Manar is also concerned with the skyrocketing costs associated with insulin, and is currently working on legislation that would bring financial relief to diabetics by capping out of pocket costs for the medication at $100 for a thirty-day supply.

A vote is expected on the legislation when lawmakers return to Springfield in late October. “Illinois pharmacies and patients are fortunate to have

(*up to 65 words)

such a dedicated and passionate champion as Sen. Manar,� said Garth Reynolds, executive director of the Illinois Pharmacists Association. “The Illinois Pharmacists Association is honored to bestow Sen. Manar with the 2019 Honorary President Award [along with State Representative Greg Harris] and we look forward to continue to work together to advocate for preserving access to community pharmacies and advancing patient care.�

Hello from Alsey- I still have one humming bird hanging around. On Friday I found one in the grass near my drive way. He just fluttered around.

I picked him up to see if he was hurt and after a few seconds in my hand he flew off.

He was just to cold to fly until I held him and warmed him up for a bit. He has been at my feed each day since. I talked to Sam Ford and he has two birds at his house. Hopefully they will head south soon.

Obituaries Evelyn Katherine Suess Evelyn Katherine Suess, 81, of Jacksonville, died Sunday, October 20, 2019 at Memorial Medical Center in Springfield. She was born December 24, 1937, in Winchester, the daughter of Bert and Bertha Smith Havens. She married Alvin Suess on May 24, 1986, and he survives.

She is also survived by two sons, Chuck Watson of Franklin and Jim (Lisa) Watson of Jacksonville; two daughters, Gale Ribley of St. Louis, Missouri and Debra (Dave) Gregory of Fort Myers, Florida; two step-children, Annette Suess of Murrayville and Rob (Stacey) Suess; nine grand-

children, four great-grandchildren, and three siblings, Donna (Ted) McDonald, Linda (Gary) McCandless, and Dean (Brenda) Havens.

She was preceded in death by one brother, Lloyd Havens, and one infant sister, Joyce Havens.

Evelyn was a member of the Church of Our Saviour.

She retired from the ASCS Office in 1994 after over 25 years of service. Evelyn assisted with Doorbell Dinners and volunteered to cook for funeral dinners. She was well-known for her cooking and baking, never allowing anyone to walk away hungry. She was famous for her chocolate cake with

her grandkids. She was a “gypsy at heart� as her dad would refer to her, as she loved to travel. She loved music and enjoyed dancing and playing cards with family and friends. Most of all, Evelyn loved her family and will be smiling down on each of them.

A funeral mass was celebrated at 10 a.m. on Wednesday, October 23, 2019, at Church of Our Saviour in Jacksonville, with burial at Calvary Cemetery.

The family met friends following a 3:45 p.m. prayer service on Tuesday, until 7 p.m., at the Williamson Funeral Home. In lieu of flowers, memorials are sug-

gested to the Routt Education Foundation. The Williamson Funeral Home is in charge of arrangements.

Where Is Your Heart?

Pat Van DeVelde Peak Insurance Agency 16 S. Hill, 742-3316 First National Bank of Winchester 26 W. Cherry 742-3134

“For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.�

Matthew 6:21 NIV

f your heart and mind are focused on worldly matters, you will not hear the word of God. The things of this world are noisy and glaring, and will deafen and blind you to the soft and subtle urgings of the spirit. God rarely shouts, but rather speaks in a whisper, and His voice is easily drowned out by worldly concerns. Put aside those worldly concerns, at least temporarily each day, and take some quiet time to simply commune with God in silence. While doing this, try to quiet your mind, and stop thinking about anything. Just be there, alone with God. When you are done with this meditative silence, try to take it with you back into the world. You may have to be in the world and attend to worldly affairs—all of us have bills to pay and things to do—but you can be in the world and attend to your affairs with a heart that is given to God. In this way, our interactions with others will express a heart devoted to God. It will come through in your smile, and in your eyes, and in your gentle way of being in the world. – Christopher Simon

Winchester, Illinois

Free counseling offered during Medicare open enrollment The Illinois Department on Agingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s (IDoA) Senior Health Insurance Program (SHIP) is reminding seniors of the free counseling assistance available to Medicare-eligible individuals and their caregivers during the annual Medicare Open Enrollment occurring October 15th through December 7th.

During open enrollment, eligible adults can adjust Medicare Advantage or Medicare prescription drug coverage, move from original Medicare to a Medicare Advantage plan - or vice versa - switch between

Medicare Advantage plans, join a Medicare Prescription Drug Plan, or switch or drop existing drug plans without penalty; all of which can be overwhelming and confusing.

There are 2,232,296 beneficiaries in Illinois enrolled in Medicare, and the average monthly Medicare Advantage premium changed from $20.17 in 2019 to $18.49 in 2020. With over 300 SHIP offices across Illinois, the agency stands ready to refer clients to their closest site, which can schedule an appointment to assist with open enrollment.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are 126 Medicare Advantage plans available, and 28 stand-alone Part D Prescription drug plans.

Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t assume your current coverage is still your best choice. You may find better coverage, extra benefits or lower costs,â&#x20AC;? said Paula Basta, Director of IDoA. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I encourage seniors to make an appointment at their earliest convenience. Our SHIP counselors are ready to help you make sense of the complicated Medicare system and to make the best choices for your healthcare as we prioritize planning for tomorrow.â&#x20AC;?

New this year is the use of the MyMedicare.gov system to help seniors and people with disabilities make the best choices for their individual situation.

Our SHIP counselors are ready to take your call and assist you. Contact SHIP, by calling 1-800-252-8966, weekdays 8:30 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. For more information about SHIP, including a list of SHIP locations, visit the website at: http://www.illinois.gov/aging/ship/Pages/ default.aspx.

To compare 2020 drug and health plans on your own and to find out more

about Medicare options, visit the federal Medicare website at: www.medicare. gov. Medicare customer service representatives are available 24/7 at: 1-800633-4227.

SHIP is not affiliated with any insurance company, and counselors do not sell or solicit any type of insurance.

SHIP counselors in the field help seniors and people with disabilities on Medicare understand the options available to them. They also educate and answer questions about Medicare plans and options.

Federal Real ID mandate takes effect October 1, 2020

Mandate for Real ID approaches within year Illinois Secretary of State Jesse White is reminding Illinoisans that the federal Real ID mandate takes effect on Oct. 1, 2020.

For Illinois residents who fly domestically, effective Oct. 1, 2020, the federal government will require you to use a valid U.S. passport or obtain a Real ID from the Illinois Secretary of Stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office.

It is important to know the following key points: Q You have a choice. You do not need a Real ID if you have a valid U.S. passport, military ID or other TSAacceptable form of identification. These documents will be accepted for domestic air travel. For a complete list of acceptable documents, please visit: tsa.gov/travel/ security-screening/identification.

Q You do not need a Real ID if you do not fly domestically or visit secure federal facilities.

Q If you want to apply for a Real ID, come prepared with the necessary documents.

Q Customers are encouraged to visit RealID.ilsos. gov and use the interactive document checklist to help ensure they bring the proper documents to the facility, making the process more efficient.

Q Customers are asked to please be patient at facilities as the process to apply for a Real ID takes longer due to the multiple documents required by the federal government.

Q Customers are also encouraged to take advantage of the many online services offered allowing patrons to conduct business from home.

Some online transactions include: obtaining a duplicate driverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s license or ID card, renewing a vehicle registration, obtaining a driver record abstract or renewing a standard driverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s license with the Safe Driver Renewal Program.

Q Illinois Real ID cards are now a permanent option

for Illinois residents.

Current Illinois driverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s licenses or ID cards will be accepted for domestic air travel or to enter secure federal facilities until Oct. 1, 2020. According to the federal government, a valid U.S. passport, passport card and military ID are some acceptable alternatives to a Real ID card. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our goal is to continue raising awareness about Real ID so Illinoisans can make an informed decision on whether they want to apply for a Real ID or keep their current driverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s license or ID card,â&#x20AC;? said White. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are asking Illinoisans who choose Real ID to come prepared with the necessary documents and to please be patient at the facility because the process takes longer due to the multiple documents required by the federal government.â&#x20AC;?

The Real ID Act is a federal mandate by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security that sets standards for state-issued DL/IDs by making identification documents more secure to combat fraud and identity theft.

Real ID cards meet security requirements set by the federal government and have a gold star marking in the top right corner. Standard DL/ IDs that do not comply with requirements of the federal Real ID Act are marked with the phrase â&#x20AC;&#x153;Federal Limits Apply,â&#x20AC;? as called for by the federal law.

Based on federal guidelines, to obtain an Illinois Real ID card, all applicants â&#x20AC;&#x201D; including those who currently hold a standard Illinois DL/ID â&#x20AC;&#x201D; must provide: Q One document proving identity (examples: a certified U.S. birth certificate, a U.S. passport, an employment authorization document, a permanent resident card or a foreign passport with an approved I-94 form).

Name change documents, such as certified copies of a marriage certificate, etc., will be required if the applicant presents a certified birth certificate with a name different from his/her current

name. Multiple name change documents will be required if the applicantâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s name has changed multiple times.

Q One document proving Social Security Number (SSN) (examples: an SSN card, a W-2 or a pay stub with full SSN).

Q Two documents proving residency with the applicantâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s correct name and address (examples: a utility bill, rental agreement, deed/ title, bank statement or credit card statement).

Q One document proving signature (examples: a credit/debit card, a canceled check or a current Illinois

DL/ID).

A full list of approved documents is available at RealID.ilsos.gov.

Residents are encouraged to use the interactive checklist at realid.ilsos.gov/checklist to determine what documents are required to bring to the facility in order to apply for a Real ID. For more information on Real ID, visit RealID.ilsos. gov. For more information on the Real ID Act, please visit the U.S. Department of Homeland Securityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s website at dhs.gov/real-id-public-faqs.
