Barnett: Honor Flight a touching, ‘awesome trip’ By JUSTIN A. COBB Scott County Times Rural Bluffs resident Fred Barnett traveled to Washington, D.C., June 16 on a Land of Lincoln Honor Flight, which he described as “an awesome trip.” He was one of 21 Navy veterans, in addition to nine Air Force, 51 Army, one Coast Guard, three Marine, and one Merchant Marine veterans, who went on the Honor Flight, according to a June 3 press release announcing the flight. Of those 86 veterans, the vast majority had served during the Korean War era, whereas 14 has served during World War II and one during Vietnam, according to the press release. The trip was a one-day visit, which made for a long but worthwhile day. “We had to be in Springfield at 4:45 (a.m.),” Barnett said in a phone interview Monday afternoon. Each veteran travels with a guardian, and Barnett’s guardian that day was his son, Michael, who currently resides in Gilbert, Ariz., working as a financial advisor with Edward Jones, Barnett said. Barnett and his son

checked in at the Springfield airport, where each veteran was issued a t-shirt and hat color coded to their respective eras of service, he said. World War II veterans were issued blue, Korean War veterans yellow, according to Barnett. His shirt and hat were red, having served during the

“Everything about the flight was great. The whole thing was super great.”

Fred Barnett Honor Flight participant, rural Bluffs Vietnam War era, he said. Barnett served during both the Korean and Vietnam War eras, he said. “I enlisted before Korea was over and got out while Vietnam was just starting up,” Barnett said. He said he spent four years in active duty, followed by two years in the reserves, leaving the service in 1960. Honor Flight participants were kept well-fed and

hydrated throughout their journey, according to Barnett After going through the security checkpoint, all of the Honor Flight participants were met with coffee and donuts from Dunkin Donuts, he said. Once they got onto the plane and in the air, they were served more breakfast, a hot egg, sausage, and cheese sandwich on a croissant, according to Barnett. Ice water was available during their whole time touring D.C., and at lunch time, they returned to their charter buses to boxed lunches in each of their seats, courtesy of Arby’s. Another Arby’s boxed meal was served at the airport for supper, Barnett said. Sustenance was not the only means by which the veterans were shown they were appreciated. “When we landed (in D.C.) and got close to where we were going to unload, they had water cannons set up on both sides of the runway,” Barnett said. “They shot those off in honor of the veterans being there, like the plane got a wash job but it was very touching and interesting.” Veterans were assigned to (See, barnett, A2)

Monday’s commissioners meeting light Bluffs schools could lose another $96k

By JUSTIN A. COBB Scott County Times County commissioners had a very light agenda for Monday’s weekly meeting, according to commissioner board chair Craig Lashmett, speak-

ing by phone Tuesday morning. No actions were taken, and no pressing topics were up for discussion, according to Lashmett. “It was a quiet day,” Lashmett said. “The only report we had was from the highway department, that

they’re doing some dirt patching on oil-and-chip roads.” In other business, Scott County Nursing Center has 36 residents, according to Lashmett. Commissioners met for about half an hour, Lashmett said.

Most public bodies in Scott County comply with Open Meetings Act By JUSTIN A. COBB Scott County Times Public bodies in Scott County are largely compliant with the Illinois Open Meetings Act. The act is intended to ensure local government entities in Illinois conduct their business transparently and openly, requiring meetings generally to be open to the public. Public bodies may, however, close a portion of a meeting to the public to discuss certain topics under strictly construed exemptions from the Open Meetings Act. Common exemptions, listed in Section 2(c) of the act, include student discipline, collective bargaining, personnel, security procedures, or impending or ongoing litigation. The Open Meetings Act requires minutes from closed sessions be reviewed semiannually to determine whether any of them can be opened and released to the public. Scott County Board of Commissioners reviews closed session minutes every six months, if there are any to review, according to Craig Lashmett, commissioner board chair, speaking by phone Friday afternoon. “If we have (gone into closed session), it’s been a long, long, long, long time,” Lashmett said. “We review them every six months, and I don’t remember

reviewing any recently.” When the commissioners do go into closed session, is usually to discuss personnel matters, but “we’ve had no personnel issues” recently, Lashmett said.

“We rarely ever have closed session meetings. It’s not like a big city where we employ a bunch of people. We don’t generally have closed session meetings.”

“We’re still losing money with proration.”

By JUSTIN A. COBB Scott County Times Bluffs School District could lose another $96,000 next year through proration of state aid, Kevin Blankenship, district superintendent, said by phone Tuesday morning. He revealed his projection to the school board when it met Wednesday evening, June 17. Blankenship said he expects a decrease in general state aid in the 20152016 school year, with proration already at 87 percent, meaning the district is being promised only 87 percent of what it should receive by statute. It is not clear yet whether this pre-

diction will hold true, since the governor and General Assembly have yet to agree on a state budget, according to Blankenship. “Overall, if we’re going to have proration, if you’re going down that path again, it would cost the district another $96,000,” Blankenship said. “We’re still losing money with proration.” In other business, according to Blankenship, the board: n Granted two-percent raises to noncertified staff, speech, social work, and administrators, matching what teachers received n Passed the annual prevailing wage resolution n Had the first reading of several policy updates Thirty-eight minutes into the meeting, board members voted to go into closed session to discuss personnel, collective bargaining, student discipline, security, and litigation and to review closed session minutes, Blankenship said. After 15 minutes in closed session, the board returned to open session and approved the following, according to Blankenship: Hires: n Adele Cook, junior high softball volunteer coach, pending certification n Rachel Kilver, high school volleyball assistant coach n Zach Morrissey, high school football volunteer coach n Brad Wade, junior high softball volunteer coach Resignation: n Mark Dyer, high school baseball coach Kindergarten teacher Erin Wahl was approved for six weeks maternity leave, according to Blankenship. The board voted to keep all closed session minutes closed, Blankenship said. The meeting began 7:02 p.m. and lasted 56 minutes, according to Blankenship. Board member Shelly Tweedy arrived eight minutes late, Blankenship said.

(Continued from A1) three buses, color-coded Red, White, and Blue; Barnett’s was white, he said. Their first stop, the Iwo Jima Memorial and World War II veterans’ fountain, where they spent around 45 minutes, followed by the Korean and Vietnam war monuments, where they spent about an hour, Barnett said. “My son and I went to the Vietnam Wall because a guy named James Hutton was killed in Vietnam,” Barnett said. “I got to church with his sister so I etched his name off the wall onto a piece of paper.” When he gave it to her, “she was in tears.” After lunch, they spent an hour or so at the National Air and Space Museum, he said. Barnett said the most interesting exhibit there was the Space Shuttle America. “You could walk around and see were the tiles on the underneath side had scorched and some were missing,” he said. “It was very touching to walk around and look at it.” The final leg of the trip was in Arlington, Va., where they visited Arlington National Cemetery and viewed the changing of the guard at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, Barnett’s favorite part of the trip, he said. The Honor Flight group

had a 5:30 p.m. appointment for the changing of the guard, Barnett said. The sergeant who relieved the guard for the new guard to take over the watch had decided to honor the veterans present by scraping his heel three times on the concrete as a subtle signal to them, they were told, he said. “That was to honor all the veterans there,” Barnett said. “it’s not in their program. They’re not supposed to do something like that, but he said he would do it just to show he was grateful they all could be there.” On their way to Arlington, the group passed the Pentagon, Barnett said. “You could tell where the plane had hit (on 9/11) because the stones are just a shade lighter than the original ones,” he said. “There wasn’t much difference, but you could tell where they had replaced the stone wall around where the plane had hit it. That was kind of touching, too, in a way.” In the evening, the group returned to the airport and flew back home, where they were greeted by throngs of people decked in red, white, and blue to welcome them home after they arrived around 10 p.m., he said. “There were probably 1,000 to 1,500 people there,

hollering, clapping, shaking hands with all the veterans, giving them hugs,” Barnett said. “It was something, something you’d never forget.” A man playing bagpipes played for them as the group

should go on an Honor Flight. “It was an amazing day!” Barnett said. “Everything about the flight was great. The whole thing was super great.” Any veteran who has served prior to May 7, 1975, which marks the end of the Vietnam War, is eligible to go

on an Honor Flight, whether or not he or she served in combat or oversees, John Dust, LLHF marketing officer, said June 4 via email. For more information, visit landoflincolnhonorflight.org or call Dust at 309-339-0227.

noon, June 17. Kunkel said she would bring it to the mayor’s attention and see whether he will put it on the agenda soon. Winchester School Board reviews closed session minutes every six months, according to Dave Roberts, district superintendent, speaking by phone Friday morning. The last time Winchester School Board reviewed closed session minutes was in April, and closed session minutes from July through December 2014 were released to the public, Roberts said. Bluffs School District likewise reviews closed session minutes every six months and in fact did so at the June 17 regular school board meeting, according to Kevin Blankenship, district superintendent, speaking by phone Tuesday morning. The next time the board will review closed session minutes will be in December, Blankenship said. Key to compliance with the Open Meetings Act is training the act requires members of public bodies to complete within 90 days of taking office. Most public bodies must complete the training online through the Illinois Attorney General Public Access Counselor’s office, though school board members and administrator may opt for training provided by a staterecognized school board association. All three county commissioners have completed Open Meetings Act training, Lashmett said, and Robinson is “almost sure” Winchester aldermen have. It is not clear whether all members of Bluffs Village Board have completed the training. An item pertaining to online Open Meetings Act

The last time Manchester’s board went into closed session was “last year” to discuss personnel pay raises. Similarly, Penny Fay, Alsey village clerk, said she was not sure when the Alsey Village Board last reviewed closed session minutes, speaking by phone Friday morning, noting it is exceedingly rare they ever go into closed session. “We rarely ever have closed session meetings,” Fay said. “It’s not like a big city where we employ a bunch of people. We don’t generally have closed session meetings.” North Scott Park District “very rarely” enters closed session, but they do review any closed session minutes they have on file every six months, per the act’s requirements, Dave Long, park district board president, said by phone Friday afternoon. The last time they reviewed closed session minutes was “a couple months ago,” Long said. Winchester City Council reviews closed session minutes every six months and last reviewed those minutes “back in April, I think,” Brenda Robinson, Winchester city clerk, said by phone Tuesday morning. “We did it before we swore in new council members” who were elected April 7. All closed session minutes reviewed then were opened to the public, according to Robinson. Bluffs Village Board is overdue for a review of closed session minutes, not having reviewed them since the current village clerk, Terry Kunkel, took office in September, Kunkel said by phone Wednesday after-

training will be put on the upcoming July meeting agenda, Kunkel said. One new member of Alsey Village Board, David Sanders, who was sworn into office in May, needs to complete Open Meetings Act training, according to Fay. Another new member elected in April, Austin Rueter, has not yet been seated but will be in July, according to Fay, and he will have 90 days to complete the training, according to the act. Old board members have completed it, and Fay, who has taken it before, recently reviewed the training, she said. In Manchester, all village board members and elected officers required to complete Open Meetings Act training have completed it, including board members newly elected in April, Renner said. North Scott Park Board boasts similar training compliance by its members, including those elected in April, Long said. All board members and both Open Meetings Act/ Freedom of Information Act officer, Roberts and his administrative assistant Becky Lashmett, have completed Open Meetings Act training, according to Roberts. “We use an online system now called PublicSchoolWORKS, which does all of our mandated trainings,” including Open Meeting Act training, which Roberts completes annually, he said. All Bluffs School Board members except one, Matt Smith, who was elected in April, have completed the mandated training, according to Blankenship. Smith is “working on it right now,” Blankenship said.

MANCHESTER

BY JANE PRESSEY, 742-3313

Well, we’ve had another rainy, stormy week. I’ll be so glad when this storm system moves off and we see some sunshine again. Of course, since this is the first day of summer, that means hot, sticky, humid weather. More griping then. We’re never satisfied. Even the Pope is praying for climate change. This rain is not good for arthritic bones. I complained about my knees hurting and aching so bad, and Dr. Luetz told me my knees were artificial so they couldn’t ache; it was the area around the knees that ached. He’s right, but I still think my knees hurt. Well, our Gov. Rauner is at it again. Cut. Cut. Cut. Now he wants to do away with our summer grants to help pay for electricity to our air conditioning? I don’t think so! He was going to repair the governor’s mansion so he could live there and pay for it from his own pocket. Now the state has to pay for it. There goes more money out of our own pockets. Seems he wasn’t telling the truth there either. I thought he was a good Christian man and would help his people, but seems I was wrong there too. Typical politician! More untruths and dog-eat-dog. Sorry, Mr. Rauner – no more votes from me. I hear the Gen. Gierson Days were fairly good. I thought of all those people Saturday night when it rained and we were under the tornado watch. It thundered, lightening, rained off and on all night though. A little windy, too, sometimes. Maybe next year it will be better. I hope they continue with it. It’s been a

long time tradition. Update on Bud: We are in our fourth week now. He is a little better. He can get up and down now and is back to sleeping in our bed again. Still not eating very good. We got to go to church Sunday morning and had dinner with Debbie and our family at her home. We were back home by 3 p.m., and he took a little nap before the storm hit. It seems awfully slow to me, but I’m very impatient. “Lord, give me patience, and I want it right now.” That’s my motto. Keep us in your prayers. Our sympathy goes out to the family of Stephen Paul Gooding. Our prayers are with you. Happy birthday wishes go out to Eileen Howard, whose 98th birthday is June 22; Missy Neff on June 25; and our other daughter, Jennie Boester, on June 26. Hope you all have a good day. Happy 38th wedding anniversary to our daughter Deb and Alvin Foster on June 24 and 32nd anniversary to Rosemary and Jim Peek on June 25. Hope you guys have many more happy years together. Betty and Vicky Orr of Detroit were Wednesday visitors with her mother, Leota Foiles. Larry and Sandy Moyer of Barry were Friday evening visitors with Bud and Jane Pressey and took us out to supper at Buck and Jo’s. Afterward, we drove down to see the high water on the Illinois River at Florence. The two houses where we used to live down there would have

BY SARA FRY

been full of water now. I’m glad we live here in Winchester. Larry and Sandy Moyer enjoyed a picnic along the waterfront at Hannibal, Mo., Saturday afternoon and did some shopping afterward. Elroy Witwer of St. Louis was a Sunday visitor with Reba Witwer. Rev. Larry and Cathy Post entertained members of the congregation of Assembly of God Church at a Father’s Day luncheon after church Sunday morning. Thank you, Larry and Cathy. Father’s Day dinner guests Sunday with Alvin and Debbie Foster were Drew and Jennie Weder, Clint, Nick, Evan, and Bud and Jane Pressey of Winchester; Sean Abby, Tessa Hynes, LeAnn and Sarah Wynn, Jeremy Bell, and Tryson and Talon of Jacksonville; Larry and Sandy Moyer of Barry; and Jim, Rosemary, and Sarah Peek of Springfield. Brooke Barrowman, Warren, and Ella and Vicky Moyer of Barry were Sunday afternoon visitors with Larry and Sandy Moyer of Barry. Bill Foiles of rural Murrayville was a Sunday afternoon visitor with his mother, Leota Foiles. Hope all you fathers had a good Father’s Day Sunday with your families. Happy first day of summer Sunday! Enjoy this week. Hope it’s a good one. Quote of the week: “Knowledge without common sense is folly.” – Our Daily Bread

Maintaining luster and shine on granite counters and other natural stone surfaces

FAMILY FEATURES

any homeowners install granite or marble countertops and vanities for their durability and to add more value to the home. But in the end, nothing beats the most visible benefit — that rich shine and luster right after the workmen install the new natural stone. It’s that gorgeous shine homeowners desire to maintain. For some, their lustrous granite or marble surfaces are the envy of dinner guests. For others, it’s a feeling of frustration and disappointment, most likely due to lack of knowledge and education on maintaining the life and beauty of natural stone. While literally solid as a rock, natural stone isn’t impervious to wear and tear, and it requires correct and regular care and maintenance. It’s important to understand the shine on granite is not from applying a wax, but a natural shine that goes through a rigorous process. Quarried from the earth’s surface using a combination of diamond wire cables, drills and even dynamite, these stone blocks weigh in at around 40,000 pounds. The blocks are then taken to a factory for processing. A giant gang saw using diamond blades slices the blocks into a calibrated thickness similar to a giant bread slicer. The next step is over to a polishing line where they pass under diamond polishing heads that apply thousands of pounds of pressure per square inch. Here, finer and finer grits bring out the natural polish of the stone. From there the slabs are bundled and shipped to your local stone manufacturer and installer to be further cut to a homeowner’s needs. It’s this factory finish that enhances their inherent characteristics — veins, swirls, crystals — prior to installations in kitchens and baths. There are two common routes to pursue to maintain natural stone’s durability and to ensure that brilliant shine persists. One option is contracting with a stone restoration specialist. These professionals can clean, seal and polish your natural stone. This does, however, come with a formidable price tag — north of $250 to $500 a visit. A more palatable option is the do-it-yourself route. There’s a lower price tag, less than $50, with more of an investment in a homeowner’s time and attention.

“But do your homework first,” cautions Lenny Sciarrino, a third-generation stone care expert and co-founder of Granite Gold brand stone care products. “Common household cleaning products can damage granite, marble and other natural stone, and that can lead to costly repair and replacement.” He also warns homeowners to be wary about misleading promises with some do-it-yourself granite cleaning products claiming they can remove stains and water marks or reduce dullness and scratching. “Having grown up manufacturing, installing and restoring stone surfaces, I can assure you an off-the-shelf granite cleaner can’t deliver on those promises,” said Sciarrino. “In most circumstances, there are home remedies, and we’re often teaching homeowners those tricks over the phone or through email.” To maintain that rich shine from when the stone was first installed, Sciarrino advises homeowners make sure the granite or marble is sealed upon installation. It’s not uncommon for a new counter to be installed without a protective seal, leaving it immediately susceptible to stains and etches. After installation, he said, plan a regular routine of daily cleaning and frequent polishing. “Although granite, marble and other natural-stone surfaces are highly durable, they do require proper care and maintenance,” said Sciarrino, whose company recently introduced Granite Gold Clean & Shine, which fuses the cleaning and polishing strengths of the brand’s two most popular products in one solution for those who are on the go. “The additional benefits of polishing these stone surfaces are that it helps resist fingerprints and water spots and it reinforces the protective seal.” Homeowners should often test the integrity of the protective seal, even scheduling it like they do when changing batteries twice yearly at daylight saving time. Here’s an easy way to do that: Pour water (about 3 inches in diameter) on the surface in several locations and let it sit for 30 minutes. If you see a dark mark or ring, the water is penetrating the stone and it’s time to reseal.

Protect Your Stone Investment Beyond the basics, stone care expert Lenny Sciarrino offers some additional tips for caring for your natural stone kitchen and bathroom surfaces: n

Don’t use everyday household cleaners, as they can be too harsh on stone and lead to costly repair or replacement.

Seal regularly for the best protection. Have a stone backsplash? It’s just as important to seal.

Keep stone floors safe with mats and regular damp mopping to catch abrasive particles that can scratch the surface. Lift, don’t drag, furniture to avoid risk of scratching floors. Don’t polish floors — they will become too slippery and will risk injury.

Polish regularly (except stone floors) to increase the shine, color and beauty of your stone and reinforce its protective seal.

Use safe-on-stone scrubbing pads and brushes when cleaning natural stone.

Polishing stone shower walls adds protection to help prevent etching, water spotting and soap scum build up.

While many people believe that stains are impossible to remove from granite and other natural stone surfaces, there are simple steps you can take to remove or reduce these unsightly blemishes.

Keep grout lines clean by using a cutting board on food-prep surfaces.

Oil Stains (vegetable, olive and other types of cooking oils) Mix baking soda with acetone into a paste to the consistency of pancake batter and place onto the stained area. Allow the paste to sit for 24 hours, then remove and rinse with water. Repeat if necessary; some stains may require two or three attempts. Reseal the stone surface once this is completed.

Water spots on stone surfaces can be gently scraped off with a razor blade. Regular sealing and polishing will keep water spots from sticking to the surface. Water should bead on the surface when the stone is sealed.

Common disinfectants can damage natural stone surfaces, leading to costly repair and replacement. Look for a safe-on-stone disinfectant.

Simple Stain Removal Steps Organic Stains (food products, mold, mildew, plant runoff, dirt and soil, pet urine) Take a paper towel, cotton balls or white terry cloth towels soaked in any brand of liquid bleach and place it on the stained area. Allow it to sit for 24 hours and rinse with water. Repeat if necessary. You can also spray bleach on stained areas, scrub with a soft nylon brush and then rinse with water. Bleach does not harm natural stone as long as it is rinsed each time and sealed properly after the process is completed.

Rust Stains Most rust stains have to be removed by a professional. Pour or spray 3 or 4 percent hydrogen peroxide on the stained area and agitate with a safe-on-stone scrubbing pad or nylon brush (also safe on stone). Allow to sit for 24 hours, then rinse with water.

The View From Space Seeing images of Earth from space can induce a variety of powerful feelings, from awe over its beauty to fear over its apparent fragility. Ours is a living, breathing planet and at least so far, we haven’t found any others where life occurs. Seeing pictures of the Earth from outer space is one thing; actually seeing the Earth from outer space is almost invariably a life-changing experience. Consider what various astronauts have said about their view of our planet from space. James Irwin remarked “That beautiful, warm, living object looked so fragile, so delicate, that if you touched it with a finger it would crumble and fall apart. Seeing this has to change a man, has to make a man appreciate the creation of God and the love of God.” Edgar Mitchell observed “Suddenly, from behind the

rim of the moon, in long, slowmotion moments of immense majesty, there emerges a sparkling blue and white jewel . . . rising gradually like a small pearl in a thick sea of black mystery. It takes more than a moment to fully realize this is Earth . . . home.” Mitchell says elsewhere that “My view of our planet was a glimpse of divinity.” Finally, consider what Taylor Wang felt upon seeing Earth from space: “A Chinese tale tells of some men sent to harm a young girl who, upon seeing her beauty, become her protectors rather than her violators. That’s how I felt seeing the Earth for the first time. I could not help but love and cherish her.” Earth is our home and is entrusted to us for its protection. —Christopher Simon

Farm Bureau on WOTUS: final rule even worse By JUSTIN A. COBB Scott County Times The final version of the rule defining waters under federal jurisdiction is “even worse” than when it was first proposed, the American Farm Bureau Federation recently concluded from a detailed analysis. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and Army Corps of Engineers, which proposed the “Waters of the U.S.” rule, or WOTUS, assert the rule simply clarifies federal jurisdiction, whereas the Farm Bureau and other stakeholders opposed to the rule have argued it vastly expands federal jurisdiction. AFBF recently released a report after comparing the language under the proposed “Waters of the U.S.” rule, or WOTUS, first published in the Federal Register in April 2014, to the final version released May 27 in prepublication form. One major change that concerns local farm bureaus pertains to how the EPA and Corps would define a “tributary” under the rule, according to Blake Roderick, Scott County Farm Bureau executive director, speaking by phone June 15. “The definition of tribu-

tary is that there is a bank, channel, or high water mark, but those are such subjective

“Our overriding concern is once this rule is finalized, if the agencies do not carry it out as certain environmental groups feel they should, it could open it up to a citizen lawsuit, either against an individual or the agency itself.”

Blake Roderick Executive director, Scott County Farm Bureau agency itself.” He expects the rule to be published in the Federal Register by the end of the month, he said, 60 days after which the rule will go into effect. There are legislative attempts being made to force the agencies to withdraw the rule, but the rule will ultimately end up litigated in court, according to Roderick. Meanwhile, landowners will face uncertainty as to how the rule applies to them, he said. “It’s going to be a confusing, confusing mess,” Roderick said.

Land features such as rills through a farm field or a drainage ditch could feasibly fall under such a definition, according to Roderick. Another provision that concerns Roderick pertains to regulation of waters deemed adjacent to navigable waters, he said. “That’s going to really broaden the area they’re able to regulate in,” Roderick said. “Our overriding concern is once this rule is finalized, if the agencies do not carry it out as certain environmental groups feel they

The Wall That Heals coming to Jacksonville June 25-28

The Wall That Heals, a 250-foot replica of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, along with a mobile education center, is coming to Jacksonville June 25-28 at the Downtown Square and will be open and free to the public. The Wall That Heals honors the more than three million Americans who served in the U.S. Armed Forces during the Vietnam War, and its walls bear the names of the more than 58,000 men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice in Vietnam. The Vietnam Veterans Memorial is the most visited memorial in our nation’s capital, with more than four million visitors each year. However, many Americans have not been able to visit what has become known to many as “The Wall.” The Vietnam Veterans Memorial Fund (VVMF), the organization that built The Wall, wants to give all veterans and their family members all across America an opportunity to see the memorial. “Taking The Wall That Heals on the road gives thousands more veterans and their family members an opportunity to see The Wall and honor those who have served and sacrificed so much,” said Jim Knotts, CEO of VVMF. “It helps veterans from all of

America’s conflicts to find healing and a powerful connection through their common military experiences.” Since its debut in 1996, more than two million people have visited The Wall That Heals sites. It has made stops in nearly 400 U.S. communities in addition to an April 1999 tour of the Four Provinces of Ireland and a visit to Canada in 2005. Hosting The Wall That Heals provides a community with a multi-day experience that includes an educational experience for local schools and organizations on the history of the Vietnam era and The Wall. The exhibit includes a mobile education center comprised of photos of service members whose names are found on The Wall, letters and memorabilia left at The Wall in D.C., a map of Vietnam, and a chronological overview of the conflict in Vietnam. The exhibits tell the story of the Vietnam War, The Wall, and the era surrounding the conflict and are designed to put American experiences in Vietnam in a historical and cultural context. The Wall That Heals will be open 24 hours a day beginning June 25. There is no charge for admission.

Neighborhood Guys and Gals 4-H met June 8 The Neighborhood Guys and Gals met June 8, 7 p.m., at the Scott County Extension Building. We signed thank you notes for the Winchester EMS and Illinois Rural Electric tour guided by Randy Dolen and Sean Middleton. President Lindsay Littig called the meeting to order. Roll call was answered by, “What do you want to be when you grow up?” Eighteen members, five leaders, and eight guests were present. Peggy Sheppard on Careers gave program. She is a paralegal secretary. There are many areas in legality you can enter into, depending on your interest. Good field to go into. Minutes of the May meeting were read by secretary Megan Strang and approved as read on a motion by Maggie Beddingfield, seconded by Leah Hembrough. Isaiah Littig gave treasure’s report. More people signed the flower-watering chart for the 2015 summer watering. The Jr. Fair Books and

4-H entry forms were handed out. They are due July 14 at the Scott County Extension Office. Llama practice will continue on Tuesdays. Talks were given by Allie Jones on sewing and textiles, Danette Strang on Cooking 101, D. J. Chandler on small engines, Isaiah on public speaking, Jordyn on interior design; Lydia on cooking and poultry, Colt Winters on shotguns and rifles, Leah Hembrough on sheep and vet science, Nicole Friend on swine, Jenna Jones on cake decorating, and Jordyn on 4-H Cooking 101. Lori Littig helped with pink sheets. President Lindsay Littig adjourned the meeting. Next meeting will be July 13 at Scott County Extension Office. This is our Achievement meeting, with each 4-Her bringing a sample of their projects. Also we play bingo and just have fun. All missed talks must be given or written up for that day.

Farm Bureau to host landowner meeting July 1 regarding Grain Belt Express Wednesday, July 1, the Pike and Scott county farm bureaus will host a meeting for landowners whose property lies along or near proposed Grain Belt Express transmission line routes through Pike and Scott counties. The meeting will start at 7 p.m. in the Farm Bureau Auditorium, 1301 East Washington Street in Pittsfield. Landowners attending the meeting will hear an update on the case from attorney William Shay. Shay is a partner with Shay Kepple Phillips who is representing landowners associated with Landowners Alliance of Central Illinois (LACI). At their June meetings, the Pike and Scott county farm bureaus took action to fully engage in the process to oppose the GBE highvoltage DC transmission line project. Farm Bureau recommends that its members align with LACI for legal representa-

tion in the case. Farm bureaus will also assist in legal efforts to stop the project. The project routes impact around 300 landowners in Pike and Scott counties alone.

Producers must report prevented planting and failed acres USDA Farm Service Agency (FSA), reminds producers to report prevented planting and failed acres in order to establish or retain FSA program eligibility. Producers must report crop acreage they intended to plant, but due to natural disaster, were prevented from planting. Prevented planting acreage must be reported on form FSA-576, Notice of Loss, no later than 15-calendar days after the final planting date as established by FSA and Risk Management Agency (RMA). According to CED Rebecca Walls, the final planting date for corn is June 5th and soybeans June 20. If a producer is unable to report the prevented planting acreage within the 15 calendar days following the final planting date, a latefiled report can be submitted. Late-filed reports will only be accepted if FSA con-

ducts a farm visit to assess the eligible disaster condition that prevented the crop from being planted. A measurement service fee will be charged. Additionally, producers with failed acres should also use form FSA-576, Notice of Loss, to report failed acres. For losses on crops covered by the Non-Insured Crop Disaster Assistance Program (NAP) and crop insurance, producers must file a Notice of Loss within 15 days of the occurrence of the disaster or when losses become apparent. Producers must timely file a Notice of Loss for failed acres on all crops including grasses. Please contact the Greene/ Scott County FSA Office at 217-942-5402 to schedule an appointment to file a Notice of Loss. To find your local FSA office visit http://offices.usda.gov.

He told the group about the beginning of the service in 1937 and all of the updating and science for the future. He also told them and gave demonstration about the many things we do that can be a danger to themselves or others. The club then visited the Winchester EMS, and Randy Dolen told them about the service

it provides, the voluntary workers, and the equipment they now have to make it easier for them and the patients. Dolen has been there since 1978, when they started out with a Cadillac for transportation. They now have three ambulances, a rescue truck, a large van that will handle one hundred people in the event of a big disaster, and a very nice building to store equipment and also available for large groups to meet in for a nominal fee.

Carpenter’s Court:

Moral high ground? Forget about it

Submitted photo

The West Central team huddles up during a break in the action Monday at the Greenville College team camp. The Cougars played teams across the area and from all class levels while in Greenville.

The Cardinal Way is dead. The only question is, who cares? It was reported last week that at least one unnamed Cardinals employee had, according to the FBI, breached the servers of the Houston Astros to gain valuable information from scouting reports to trade ideas to statistics. Jeff Luhnow, the Astros general manager and former lead scout for the Cardinals, created the database after housing a similar server while in St. Louis. According to Michael S. Schmidt of the New York Times, “Law enforcement officials believe the hacking was executed by vengeful front-office employees for the Cardinals hoping to wreak havoc on the work of Jeff Luhnow.” The hackers could, in theory, see not only how the Astros perceived certain players, but how other teams valued those players, as well. It was a big enough breach that the FBI handed out subpoenas, which is a few steps up from corking a bat or rubbing pine tar on a ball to get a little more movement on a pitch. Questions still remain as to how high in the organization the investigation will reach and what potential punishments will be doled out. It is hard to imagine anyone of significance in the Cardinals organization orchestrating or even knowing about the breach. As the New York Times reported, the FBI believes it was a vengeful employee. Maybe someone was offered a job in Houston by Luhnow when he joined the club in 2011, but the promise was never fulfilled and that someone had an axe to grind. Maybe Luhnow rubbed people the wrong way and a young staffer wanted to pawn Luhnow’s work off as his own. But until the investigation is over (which could take months), how and why this

occurred is irrelevant to fans. The Cardinal Way is dead. Contrary to what many people in the 314 area code and surrounding counties believe, the Cardinals organization Kory Carpenter and its fans are not some lovable, classy bunch. The “Best Fans in Baseball” thing rubs many the wrong way. So for most fanbases around Major League Baseball, the day the story broke might as well have been Christmas morning. Whether it was high-ranking officials or an intern with a computer is irrelevant. Someone who receives a Cardinals paycheck cheated on a massive scale and the club will (rightfully) be viewed on the same level as the ever-cheating New England Patriots. Probably worse, and all those lovely tales about class and knowledge and sportsmanship will be mocked until eternity. Again, who cares? The classiness of the Cardinals organization and its fanbase has long been criticized as phony, and now – right or wrong – that perception has become reality, and will stay that way for many, many years. But do you think Tom Brady or Bill Belichick care what rival fans say about their lack of moral compass while they celebrate another Super Bowl victory? If October brings a 12th World Championship to St. Louis, will the celebration be any less sweet? Of course not. Give up the moral high ground and enjoy your team. It is just a game, after all.
