Car Show on the Square attracts hundreds to downtown Winchester By DAVID CAMPHOUSE Scott County Times According to Winchester Car Show on the Square founder and organizer Terry Aossey, well over 100 vehicles were registered for last Saturday’s event by 10 a.m. Many more, Aossey said, didn’t bother to register. Scott County residents and outof-town visitors came out to the car show in droves to admire the vehicles and take advantage of the beautiful summer weather. “It’s a good year,” Aossey said. “People want to get out after being cooped up for so long.” Aossey reported that the car show brings visitors to Winchester from across Illinois, as well as states as far away as Georgia and Colorado. “We’ve got cars here from Springfield, Rochester, Effingham, Litchfield and Jerseyville,” Aossey said. “There are visitors from Colorado and Atlanta.” The visitors from Colorado and Atlanta, Aossey said, were past participants in the car show, who had received a promotional postcard

about the show that Aossey had sent out. “They said they came because of the postcard,” Aossey said. While there is no fee to register to participate in the car show, fundraising activities at the show help support

Winchester’s community picnic fund. “The only money we make is through the 50/50 raffle and our T-shirt sales,” Aossey said. Besides raising money for the community picnic fund, Aossey said a big reason he was excited about this

year’s car show was that the show is a way to draw people to downtown Winchester. Aossey said the car show was a good way to highlight improvements made around the square. “I wanted people to see the new sidewalks around the square and the new lighting,” Aossey said. “The city put in all new lights and took down all the overhead wires.” Aossey said he also hoped car show attendees would provide a boost to restaurants and retail shops around the square. “I just wanted people to get out into the stores and to do some business,” Aossey said. Scott County car show fans can also look forward to another car show this year, to be held on Sept. 11 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Winchester High School. The show will be set up behind the auto shop. The car show, according to Winchester High School auto shop teacher Kenny Mayner, will benefit the school’s auto program. A silent auction will be held at the event to raise funds, and pork chops will be available for purchase.

Dog missing 14 months found Area on the wrong side of the Illinois River mourns By DAVID CAMPHOUSE Scott County Times Scott County Dog Rescue President Becky Lashmett was notified last week of a stray dog loose in the Illinois River bottoms near Scott County’s Oxville. “It was reported to me by somebody who had seen him on what they called the back road to Naples,” Lashmett said. “The woman who reported the dog said he came out of the cornfield and acted like he wanted to get into her car.” According to Lashmett, she posted about the lost dog on Facebook, after which point she was contacted by Valley City resident Angie Johnson. “She thought it was her dog, Zeppelin, that had been missing for 14 months,” Lashmett said. According to Johnson, the Facebook post was brought to her attention by a friend in Griggsville, who recognized the dog immediately. “He’s pretty distinct,” Johnson said. “He has one blue eye and one brown eye, and his tail is docked.” Lashmett surmises that the dog must have crossed from Pike County into Scott County on the Norfolk Southern railroad bridge at Valley City. “And I thought to myself, ‘Oh my God, that dog walked across the railroad bridge,’” Lashmett said. Zeppelin is not the first dog that Lashmett is aware of to cross the bridge. “Probably 15 years ago, a St. Bernard, did the same thing and walked across the river,” Lashmett said. According to Johnson, Scott County Animal Rescue’s Lashmett and her Facebook post were instrumental in

helping her find her long-lost dog. “I want Becky to know that she reunited us,” Johnson said. “She went above and beyond. I think the total time from when I first saw his picture on Facebook to when I picked him up was right at one hour.” According to Johnson the reunion with her dog was an emotional one. “It’s like having my best friend back,” Johnson said. “We’re pretty close. He goes everywhere with me. Becky was crying. I was crying.” Before the reunion, Johnson said she had almost abandoned hope of finding Zeppelin again, but something kept her from moving on. “I started to give up hope, and I thought about getting a new dog,” Johnson said. “I just couldn’t yet.” Because he had been running loose for months and lacking medical attention, Johnson faced a large vet bill to attend to all of Zeppelin’s health issues. In response, Johnson’s sister, Hilary Allen, set up an online fundraiser to help with the costs. Johnson says that the fundraiser more than covered the veterinarian fees, and all excess money raised will be donated to the Scott County Dog Rescue and the Pike County Animal Shelter. “I want to thank everyone who has already donated,” Johnson said. “We’ve got his vet bills covered already, so everything else that gets raised will go to the shelters.” Pike County Animal Warden McKenzie Ballinger expressed gratitude for the fundraising effort, and said the funds were much needed by the facilities. “We’re extremely grateful, especially now when we’re so overpopulated,” Ballinger said. “Donations

By BETH ZUMWALT Scott County Times Scott County and the surrounding area are grieving the loss of a shining star among them.James Kerr Ballard, 11 year-old son of Wes and Lori Ballard was pronounced dead on July 13 at a Springfield area hospital. Ballard was taken after a 4-wheeler accident near this home on Hart School Road. According to Scott County Sheriff Tom Eddinger, the incoming sixth grader at Winchester Elementary ,was headed home after playing at a nearby home of a friend. “They had a path between the properties that they rode 4-wheelers back and forth,” Eddinger said. When Ballard didn’t return home at the expected time, the family went to look for him and found he had a 4-wheeler accident. Both Scott County EMS and Air Evac were dispatched to the scene. Ballard was taken to Passavant and then transferred to Springfield where he was pronounced dead. (See, MOURNING, A2)

Winchester City Hall hosts long-awaited open house By DAVID CAMPHOUSE Scott County Times City of Winchester employees and elected officials welcomed dozens of residents and visitors to the community’s new city hall for an open house from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Saturday, July 17. Although the city hall has been open at its current location at 1 E. Market St. since March of 2020, the longplanned open house was delayed by COVID-19 restrictions for more than a year. According to Mayor Rex McIntire, the current city hall building, an historic former retail space and bank at the northwest corner of Winchester’s square, was selected to house the city’s government in large part due to its highly visible location in the community. “It is one of the most prominent buildings in town, in one of the most prominent locations in town,” McIntire said. The city also decided to purchase the property to house its city hall, because the mayor and council members were

concerned that the building, built in the mid-1800s, could fall into disrepair if not properly cared for. “One of my concerns, and the council’s, was that the building was for sale,” McIntire said. “We were concerned what could become of the building if it was purchased by someone without the means to fix it up.” While the city purchased the building for $48,500 in 2020, according to McIntire, the city has leveraged in-kind contributions and $41,500 in grant funding, allowing it to make significant improvements to the structure with minimal capital outlay. “We have put less than $100,000 into the building, because we were able to use grants,” McIntire said. “There was also a lot of volunteer work that went into the building from council members and work by city employees.” Improvements to the building include new air conditioning units, new flooring, new thermal-paned windows, as well as aesthetic improvements throughout the city

hall’s interior and exterior. In addition, the roof has been repaired, and the building’s wiring and lighting has been updated. To the extent possible, all improvements have considered the building’s historic setting in downtown

Winchester. An ancillary reason the city was compelled to move the city hall to its new location was to free up space for the city’s police and fire departments at the city hall’s former location at 121 S. Hill St. “A big advantage of moving

was to provide a nice facility for the police and the fire department,” McIntire said. “By moving it gave them the office space they needed and some really good training areas. There were just so many reasons we wanted to do this.”

Orr Agricultural Research and Demonstration Center Agronomy Field Day to be held July 29 By DAVID CAMPHOUSE Scott County Times The Orr Agricultural Educational Center outside Perry will hold its first Agronomy Field Day since 2016 on Thursday, July 29. According to University of Illinois Research Specialist Luke Merritt, attendees at the field day can expect an educationfilled day, learning about research taking place at the Orr Center, outside Perry. “We’ll have six presentations on the research being done,” Merritt said. “There will be presentations on soil management, cover crops, biological controls and more.” According to Merritt, certified crop advisors can earn continuing education units (CEUs) by attending the open house. In addition, the day, Merritt says, will appeal to a range of individuals in the agriculture industry. “Basically anyone in the agronomy industry should come,” Merritt said. “Any

ag producers and beef producers would get something out of it.” A complete list of presentations includes: “Utilization of Cover Crops for Cattle Grazing and Harvested Feedstuffs,” “Economics of Conservation Practices Results from PCM,” “Friends in the Field: Biological Controls in Specialty Crops,” “What is ‘Subsoil P Supply Power?’ Updating the Illinois Agronomy Handbook,” “Management of Soybean and Corn Seedling Diseases,” and “Weed Management in Early Planted Soybeans.” The field day runs from 9 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. Thursday, July 29 at the University of Illinois Orr Agricultural Research and Demonstration Center State Hwy 104, Baylis, IL, 62314. The center is located approximately four miles northwest of Perry. To register, call 217-236-4911 or email lukem@illinois.edu.

Mourning (Continued from A1) Kevin Blankenship sent out a letter to the community advising them of the accident but not naming Ballard by name. The school also set up grief counseling sessions at Winchester Elementary, on Thursday, where friends and fellow students could express their thoughts and sense of loss over the boy. Ballard was on the fifth grade honor roll for the 2020-2021 school year. Eddinger said he coached the boy on his own son’s baseball team and said he was a great kid.

community all day event. The hope of event is to bring awareness and raise funds to support programs to prevent suicide, which takes the lives of 22 veterans a day on average. One hundred percent of the proceeds from the participants – who will choose to either bike, run or walk – will go toward organizations which raise awareness and combat suicide. Veterans are also taking on the task of ruck marching along the same routes. This task by the veterans will serve as a symbolic gesture of the weight of war carried by veterans into civilian life, while also marching on the same routes with the participants, sym-

bolizing that together we can end suicide. Part of our goal from these funds is to establish programs in our local schools to teach students, teachers, and administrators the warning signs of suicide, how to begin the conversation of suicide, and where to go for support to prevent suicide. A portion of the funds raised will also go to the Winchester American Legion building fund. The Legion Hall has long been a place for local veterans to gather in camaraderie, talk about these types of issues, and where support for each other along with organizing of community events takes place.

By DAVID CAMPHOUSE Scott County Times On Monday, Scott County Health Department (SCHD) RN Meghan VanDeVelde reported an increase in the number of new COVID-19 cases in the county over the past seven days compared to recent weeks’ case numbers. VanDeVelde added that while more residents fell victim to the virus, none of the recent cases suffered the most severe symptoms of the virus. “There was a slight uptick in new cases over the last seven days, at five new cases – all of which have exhibited mild symptoms and are tolerating well at home,” VanDeVelde said. Along with the increase in COVID-19 cases in the community, according to VanDeVelde, has come an increased interest in SCHD COVID-19 testing. In fact, demand for testing during the first half of July surpassed the demand for the whole of June. “Testing has increased, as well,” VanDeVelde said. “We have already conducted over the number of tests that we did over the course of June.” VanDeVelde reported that the increase in COVID-19 cases is not unique to Scott County. “Cases are rising all around us, unfortunately” VanDeVelde said. Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH) and other public health agencies, according to VanDeVelde, attribute the increase in new COVID-19 cases to new,

In the latest COVID-19 data released Monday, July 19, Scott County Health Department reports an uptick in new cases over the past week. Five new cases have been reported in the past seven days, with three currently active. An additional four residents are in quarantine after close contact with someone who has the virus. The health department reports rising rates of COVID-19 positivity in surrounding counties, as well. Scott County Health Department reports that along with rising rates in COVID-19 positivity, requests for COVID-19 testing have also increased.

more transmissible variants of the virus. “Based off of the information I have gotten from the regional meetings I have participated in with IDPH, they believe it is due to the new and more infectious variants that are spreading, such as the Delta variant.” VanDeVelde said the emergence of new, more infectious variants of the virus is a likely outcome the longer the virus persists among the population. “Epidemiologists have said that’s common in pandemics – as the viruses mutate, the stronger versions of the virus trump the

others.” VanDeVelde reiterated that while cases have risen slightly in Scott County, the county has done comparatively well when held up against its neighbors. “Thankfully – and I hope not to jinx anything – we haven’t had any outbreaks, and the cases we have had seem to be linked to direct exposure within households or among friend groups,” VanDeVelde said. VanDeVelde also reminds residents that SCHD still has back-to-school physical appointments available July 28 and Aug. 4. Appointments are required for physicals on those days.

Card of Thanks The family of Gerald Day would like to thank everyone who offered prayers, sent cards, food, flowers and memorials during his recent passing. A special thank you to Rev. Frank Whitney for the comforting message, to Pastor Becky Long for the kind words and wonderful memories she shared of Gerald. Also to Andy Moss for the wonderful service he gave us in our time of sorrow. May God bless each and everyone as he has truly blessed our family.

LINDA HOSKINS I tried a new recipe last week that turned out really good. It’s not really a summer meal, but you can save this recipe for fall or winter time. I found this recipe for Baked Pasta Puttanesca in a magazine. Puttanesca is a sauce typically containing olives, garlic, capers, hot pepper and usually anchovies. When I made this, I did not put the anchovies in, but I think I may add them the next time I make this. To be honest, I don’t know LI , OLNH DQFKRY\ ¿OOHWV QRW sure if I have ever had them.

“Sending a Message” By BILL HOAGLAND The Cook County jail, located in southwest Chicago at 2700 South California, is a huge place; it occupies 96 acres, and at any given time, is temporarily housing roughly 6,000 prisoners who are awaiting preliminary hearings, transfers to prisons elsewhere or an early release from jail as they await a trial date. Over a year’s time, 100,000 prisoners are processed through this jail. Next to the jail is the George N. Leighton Criminal Court Building, where all Cook County criminal cases are prosecuted. It is a busy place and people are coming and going all the time—judges, prosecutors, defense lawyers, witnesses, parole officers and so on. And you would think that there is a significant police presence at 2700 South California at all hours of the day and night. But maybe not. On July 1, Londre Sylvester, was arrested for violating the terms of his parole and he was placed in the Cook County jail pending a hearing on the breach of his parole requirements. Londre Sylvester was a “rapper.” He was also a felon. He was also a member of the Lakeside branch of the Gangster Disciples, one of the most notorious gangs in the country. He was better known as “KTS Dre.” In case you don’t know, KTS stands for “Kill to Survive”, and is the “official” designation for the Lakeside branch of the Gangster Disciples; the “Dre” in his name relates to the last three initials in his given first name. And to prove to everyone that he was a member of that gang, he had “KTS” tattooed on his neck for everyone to see (except for those special occasions when

he might be wearing a turtleneck). But that is not all he had tattooed on his neck. He also had what appears to be a bullseye or target on his neck—probably not a good idea if you live in Chicago and really do care about surviving. Yes, we are referring to “KTS Dre” in the past tense. That’s because he is no longer with us. It seems that on the evening of July 10, his mother came down to the jail and posted his $5,000 cash bail. As he was leaving the jail and walking with his mother to their car, two car loads of unidentified persons pulled up and began shooting at him. “KTS Dre” was shot 64 times. And to add injury to insult, his mother got winged in the knee. I have to assume the gunmen were sending a message to not only “KTS Dre”, but also to members of his gang, some of whom were probably residing inside the jail at the time. But the message went much further than that. And that message is that we have a completely out of control situation in Chicago when two

cars can pull up to the Cook County jail and shoot someone leaving the jail 64 times. In a news conference this past week, Mayor Lightfoot specifically mentioned this incident and said it is the subject of a “focused investigation.” I bet the folks in Chicago are relieved knowing that. According to FBI statistics, gun sales in the US are at an all-time high this year. Care to guess which state had the most sales in the first four months of 2021? Not only was Illinois at the top of the list—it had four times the number of sales of any other state. I would say folks in Illinois are “getting the message” and it is not a good one. ––––––––––––––––––– Q Bill Hoagland has practiced law in Alton for more than 50 years, but he has spent more than 70 years hunting, fishing and generally being in the great outdoors.

Harley Maclaine Carriger, 90, peacefully passed away on July 13, 2021, at Commonwealth Senior Living in Bel Air, MD. He was formerly a long-time resident of Burlington, WV, and Clinton, MD. Born July 24, 1930, in Alsey, IL, he was a son of the late Darwin S. and Madaline (Blair) Carriger. He was also preceded in death by his loving wife of 65 years, Betty Jean (Hollis) Carriger on April 1, 2020; brothers, Hal and Harold; sisters, Hettie Carriger and Helen Coats and daughter-inlaw, Kathleen Carriger. Harley served over 30 years in the U.S. Army and retired as a Command Sergeant Major (CSM). He was awarded the Bronze Star, Legion of Merit, Meritorious Service, and numerous other medals. He was a cryptographer during the Korean and Vietnam Wars and with the White House Communications Agency for 13 years, during which he supported and traveled with Presidents Eisenhower, Kennedy, and Johnson. His summary of White House communications on the day of the Kennedy assasination was referenced by historian William Manchester in his book “The Death of a President.” Harley also was CSM at the 97th Signal Battalion in Mannheim, Germany, and the 76th Engineer Battalion in Ft. Meade, MD. After retiring from the Army, he attended Potomac State College in Keyser, WV; completed a Board of Regent’s B.A. from West Virginia University; and later earned a WV social worker’s license. He was a former Business Man-

ager and Production Manager at the Developmental Center and Workshop in Keyser, WV. He also served the state of West Virginia as a social worker and probation officer, and fully retired in 1994. He was a member of Our Lady of Grace Catholic Church in Romney, WV; active in West Virginians for Life; and a member of Boyce Houser Post 41, American Legion in Keyser, WV, Vietnam Veterans of America Post 172 in Cumberland, MD, 1600 Communication Association, 97th Signal Battalion Association, and Knights of Columbus. Harley was a friendly, intelligent man with a dry sense of humor. He had an attention to organization and detail that was not always fully appreciated by his children until after they left home. He was virtually unbeatable in a game of cribbage. Harley’s faith, his large extended family, and his friendships over the years gave him joy to the end. He will be deeply missed by those who knew and loved him.

Outdoor Truths: Gary Miller

Remembering who we are, rather than where Something that happens to me quite often is I wake up in a hotel and forget where I am. It may be that I’m on a hunting trip or away at a speaking gig, but I wake up and before my eyes open, my mind tells me I’m home. There’s been a few times I’ve woken up in the dark and made my way to the bathroom. In my mind, however, I’m at home, so I go down the hallway or make a left turn, or something like that. And there have been other times I have walked into a mirror or tried to grab a doorknob on a window or opened the door to the hotel hallway thinking it was the door to that bathroom. As quickly as possible, I must get my wits about me, snap out of it, and realize where I am in order to make the right adjustments. I am in an area that is home to a university. Students move here from all parts of the country. They’re finding out important things like how we communicate, our customs, and what soup beans are. While they are here, they will make new friends and have new directions. And they will adapt to living there because of the new place they have been transplanted. Most of them will spend a few years here while planning to either return home or to some other desirable destination. But what if they could never go back? What if that

option was off the table? And what if one day, I woke up in a place that was my new home? And I could never go back. What if that happened to you? What could you do? Well, you might grumble, but what good would that do? You might long for days gone by. You might become a hermit and never associate with anyone. You might even try to change the people around you, so they become more like you. There is one more option. You could change and adapt. And if you are a Christian, you could see this as the hand of God and could say, “Alright Lord, I get it. I’ll change. I’ll adapt. I’ll live as your follower in a land that is different from my own.” Did you know that several stories in the Bible give us this scenario? I think of people like Joseph, Daniel, Nehemiah, Meshach, Shadrach, and Abednego. All of these woke up to another country and culture. And if you look at each of these stories you will notice some similarities. Namely these. They embraced their new culture while keeping their convictions and their commitment to God. Here’s another way to put it. You can adapt to your culture and still keep your commitment and your convictions. So here we have these men who woke up in a place that was all new to them. Here’s what they didn’t

do. Q T h e y didn’t grumble. Q T h e y didn’t long for d a y s gone by. Q They didn’t complain about the government. Q They didn’t sit and sulk. Q They didn’t condemn everybody and everything. Instead, they kept their commitment. They followed their convictions. They embraced their culture. And They allowed God to use them to change their new world. Maybe you feel like you are waking up to a country that is new. It’s not home. It’s different. You may not even like it. You can grumble, complain, sit, sulk, blame and condemn. Or just maybe you can believe God wanted you to be alive now, for such a time as this, and embrace the culture as your new place of ministry. ––––––––––––––––––– Q Gary has three books that are compilations of the articles he has written for nearly 15 years. He also speaks at game dinners and men’s groups for churches and associations. You can contact him at gary@outdoortruths.org.

Why Our Thoughts and Intentions Matter Pat Van DeVelde Peak Insurance Agency 16 S. Hill, 742-3316 First National Bank of Winchester 26 W. Cherry 742-3134

“Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.” Philippians 4:8 NIV

ne may be tempted to think that what goes on inside our heads is our own affair, and that we can think mean or nasty thoughts all day long and so long as we do not act or say anything mean or nasty, we are okay. But is this really the case? Can we harbor ill will towards our brothers and sisters and be blameless simply because we have not harmed them physically? Our thoughts and intentions have a way of slipping into our words and deeds, unconsciously or otherwise.

For this reason, we should guard our thoughts, for they become intentions, and intentions become words and actions. And even when we have walled ourselves off from the external world, our thoughts influence our own lives. You cannot stew in anger or bitterness and live a good and beautiful life. Therefore, take care to guard your thoughts and be sure that they are good and true and beautiful. –Christopher Simon
