Garfield is a handsome, two-year-old who loves his food. He is affectionate, rambunctious, but also calm. Due to being FIV positive, there is no adoption fee; we would just love to see him go into a great home and find his forever family! FIV is an immouno-suppressing virus. FIV typically spreads from cat to cat by bite wounds. FIV is not transmittable to other species, and cats with FIV typically live full, happy lives. This goofy boy, along with all other animals at SCHS will be spayed/neutered, microchipped, and vaccinated before adoption. You can meet Garfield and all pets at Schuyler County Humane Society, 17000 County Farm Road in Rushville. Visitor hours are Tuesdays from 4-7 p.m., Saturdays from 9 a.m.-noon, and Sundays from 11 a.m.- 2 p.m. You can also make an appointment by calling (217) 322-2220. Applications are available online at https://schuylerhs.com/adopt/application/.

I can only imagine this same conversation between a ten- to-twelve-year-old Beverly Jockisch and her grandmother Woost. Maybe it was out of boredom or plain curiosity that made Beverly pick up a pair of crocheting hooks so many years ago, and she hasn’t put them down since.

It’s pretty sad when someone or maybe more than one person, had to vandalize and tear up the Kiwanis Park on the west end of Beardstown..
Two weeks ago, the Beardstown Kiwanis Club mended, cleaned and added to the park where youngsters enjoy playing ball and other activities.
A Zoning Ordinance that was to amend various provisions to better define accessory uses and building structures was not approved.
At Beardstown’s City Council meeting on May 21st, after much discussion and voiced concerns from local citizens, the council voted against the ordinance.
