UN-BOO-LIEVABLY GOOD TIME AT JERSEYVILLE PUBLIC LIBRARY This little monster, Krew Maltimore, only has eyes for his mom, Rochelle, at the Jerseyville Public Library’s Halloween celebration on Saturday, Oct. 27. The library offered games, bounce houses, food and fun for trick or treaters after the parade, State Street trick or treating and costume judging contest finished uptown.
Elections are just around the corner By RACHEL MCGLASSON Jersey County Journal Nov. 6 approaches and it’s not just the county clerk’s office getting ready for the big day. Jersey County faces two contested races on the local level; residents will get to decide who they would like to see sit in the county board chairs, and serve as Jersey County sheriff. In the race to fill two seats on the county board, voters will choose between Democrat Wayne Schell or
Republican Jarrod Hayes in District one and Democrat Sandy Hefner and Republican Terrie Kallal in District two. Only two candidates will be elected to fill the positions. In the other contested local race, two individuals are vying for the title of Jersey County Sheriff. Current Democratic Jersey County Sheriff John Wimmersberg faces Republican opponent Mike Ringhausen. All other local races are uncontested, (See, ELECTIONS, A2)
By MEAGAN MCGLASSON Jersey County Journal Hansen Meat Company is encouraging the community to give back and get involved this Thanksgiving season by doing what they always do, enjoying a holiday turkey. This year, however, for each turkey purchased, Hansen’s Meat Company will be donating another bird to charitable organizations in the community through their Buy a Turkey, Give a Turkey promotion. “I saw where 90 percent of American families will have a turkey this Thanksgiving,” Hansen Meat Company owner Ryan Hansen said. “I was just trying to get the company involved in a charitable campaign, but thought we could also use our customers’ loyalty and reach to get them involved, too.” That’s why Hansen isn’t asking customers to do anything differently than they normally would. All they have to do is come into a Hansen’s Meat Company store, order an all-natural Amish turkey in their name and put down a deposit on the bird. In turn, the customer will receive a T-shirt and a bird will be donated to a local charitable organization on their behalf. Participating in the Buy a Turkey, Give a Turkey promotion will cost consumers $2.89 a pound. According to Hansen employee Mary Gibbs, however, the cost is well worth it. “I had my first [Amish turkey] last year and it was excellent,”
Gibbs said. “I actually bought one again this year, it was so good.” Because of their confidence in the product and the generosity of the communities they serve, Hansen said he went ahead and preordered several hundred birds. “I did something kind of risky,” Hansen said. “I put in a call for 500 turkeys on pre-order, and there’s still room to call in and order.” That’s why the original Oct. 31 deadline is being extended— to give locals a chance to call in and order now that Halloween is over, and Thanksgiving is on their minds. That deadline is flexible, so that Hansen’s can maximize the number of turkeys donated. According to Hansen, the donated birds will stay in the community. Each of the three Hansen’s stores (Edwardsville, Alton and Jerseyville) will partner with local organizations to pass out the turkeys and benefit local families. While the Jersey County organizations haven’t been chosen just yet, the Alton store is partnering with groups like the OASIS Women’s Center and Alton Riverbend Head Start. “We’re really trying to impact local organizations,” Hansen said. “Hopefully, as the campaign builds, we’ll be able to saturate local charitable organizations and the community with turkeys.” Those wishing to participate in the program can visit the Jerseyville Hansen’s Meat Company (Good Buddy’s) store on Highway 16 or call 498-3714 for more information.

Jersey native and one of oldest men in the world dies at 109 By RACHEL MCGLASSON Jersey County Journal One of the oldest living men in the World, Victor Kallal, died on Oct. 25 at 109. Kallal, a Jerseyville native, passed away just 42 days short of reaching his 110th birthday on Dec. 6. Reaching 109 is no easy feat, and left Kallal as the 6th oldest man in the United States and 27th oldest man in the world. However, his age did not slow him down. “Uncle Victor was quite a man,” Terrie Kallal said. “He could remember people and details up to the time of his death. He drove his car until the age of 103, when he thought he should give it up because he didn’t want to scare people seeing someone his age driving.” Victor Kallal was raised in English Township in Jersey County. Born in 1908 to Teresa Barbara Kallal and Joseph Victor Kallal, both first-generation Americans whose ancestors emigrated from what is now the Czech Republic, Victor was the oldest of 12. Born onto a farm, Victor knew hard work from a very early age. In 1926, he graduated from Jerseyville High School and would go on to get a degree in agricultural engineering at the University of Illinois in 1934. In the same year, he married Catherine Marie Murphy in Jerseyville. The following year, Victor moved to Greenville as a Department of Agriculture advisor for soil conservation. The Bond County CCC was disbanded in 1936 and Victor returned to work as a hired hand on his father’s farm. It wasn’t long however before he was chosen as the first manager of the Southwestern Electric Cooperative. The new cooperative, sanctioned by the federal Rural Electrification
Administration (REA), included the villages of Bond, Madison and Fayette counties. He moved his family to Greenville and began his career. After World War II, the REA membership expanded rapidly. By the 1950s there were approximately 5,000 service sites and 35 full-time employees. In response to the growing demand, Victor managed the design and construction of a new office and service yard complex on South Third Street, or what is the present day Greenville Municipal site. Victor and his wife were active in numerous clubs in their community and worked on various community campaigns. The couple had eight children. In later years, Victor went on to become regional sales engineer for an electrical hardware distributor. In 2006, Catherine Kallal passed away after a period of declining health; she and Victor had been married 72 years. In 2008, Victor was invited to speak at the annual meeting of the Southwestern Electric Cooperative. He celebrated his 100th birthday later that year. While many would think reaching ages in the triple digits would slow someone down, it was hardly the case for Victor. “Every year when Uncle Victor went to the Driver’s License Facility to renew his license, the workers would say to him, ‘See you next year!’” Terrie Kallal said. “He continued to climb ladders to fix the garage door opener, clean the gutters, cut tree limbs, etc. into his hundreds. He lived on his own until the age of 104.” A visitation was held for Victor in Greenville Oct. 30, and he was laid to rest Oct. 31 at St. Lawrence Catholic Church.

Santa’s Chocolate Express carries on sweet tradition
By MEAGAN MCGLASSON Jersey County Journal Grafton’s annual “Taste of Chocolate� is getting an imaginative new format this year, which will debut on Dec. 1, when Santa’s Chocolate Express rolls into town. With the purchase of a $10 ticket ($9 for advance tickets), those celebrating Christmas in Grafton will
receive a wristband granting access to a chocolate experience, a holiday wine glass and a bag to collect their goodies. While the bag will be prestocked with a small bag of homemade chocolates, guests will collect additional chocolates as they explore and visit participating Grafton businesses. “We’ve had an event for decades now. This ‘Taste of Chocolate’ started at the
Methodist Church and then moved to the winery, and after ten years we’re just trying to keep the theme of chocolate, because everyone likes chocolate. It’s a good holiday theme,� Jamie Clayton, Chamber of Commerce president, said. “But you know, how do we incorporate that into Christmas time, as a celebration? The chocolate just brings an enticing part to it, and we want to get every-
body up and down Main Street.� And there will be plenty of delicious homemade chocolate for everyone. Guests shouldn’t worry, however, as free shuttle service (driven by one of Santa’s helpers) to the seven official stops will be provided. That means visitors can indulge in chocolate without having to worry about the long waddle between participating businesses.
That’s even better news considering the event is expanding and encompassing more Grafton businesses this year, including a new guest house and lodging tour. Ticket holders will be able to register to win a free overnight stay at one of the participating guest houses. Specials and discounts will also be offered at participating businesses. “In general, all the participating businesses, which is pretty much all the retail, bars, restaurants and wineries in Grafton, are going to give out a free chocolate or sweet treat to the people with wristbands,� Janey Brummett, co-owner of Buena Vista Art and event organizer said. “Some businesses may offer something other than chocolate, but the majority of them will probably have a chocolate flair to them. And then each participating restaurant or winery will also have a special that day.�
In addition to chocolates, lodging tours and business visits, Santa’s Chocolate Express will also feature Santa and Mrs. Claus (and hot chocolate and cookies provided by Jersey State Bank) in Grove Memorial Park and Jerseyville Grade School carolers throughout town from 2 to 4 p.m. “It’s a hometown thing,� Clayton said. “It’s just an added element where you can enjoy town, enjoy the season and the festival part of it. The skating rink will be open, so it’ll be something to look forward to.� Santa’s Chocolate Express will be rolling into Grafton Saturday, Dec. 1 from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., beginning and ending at the Loading Dock’s Ice Rink. Advanced tickets and more information are available at https://www. g r a f t o n i l c h a m b e r. c o m / chocolate-express.

WAYNE SCHELL
Six members from Dr. Silas Hamilton Chapter National Society Daughters of the American Revolution (from left to right, Sue Beach, Jennur Clendenny, Carol Brown, Jill Wieland, Sandie Cornelius, Bev Metzler and Rebecca Lock, District V Director) attended the District V luncheon meeting at the Jacksonville Country Club in Jacksonville on Oct. 27. District V celebrated the state’s Bicentennial at the luncheon with Honorary Regent Jill Wieland cutting the Bicentennial cake. Jill celebrated her 100th birthday in August and is the organizing regent of Dr. Silas Hamilton Chapter. The next chapter meeting is Saturday Nov. 3, 11 a.m. at the Jerseyville Library. The program will feature the atmosphere surrounding the Declaration of Independence and a fivecourse dinner that the City Tavern served the delegates.
Elections (Continued from A1) but voters will still have big decisions to make on the state level, where governor, attorney general, secretary of state, comptroller and treasurer are all contested. In the congressional race, Rodney Davis faces Betsey Dirksen Londrigan. Voters in the Ruyle and Fidelity precincts will face an advisory question at the bottom of their ballots, asking “Shall a Special Service Area be created to provide an ambulance service in the same area as Medora’s Ambulance Service, so those residents pay property taxes
for the service at a rate of .015?� Warford pointed out that if the majority of individuals vote “yes,� the service is not automatically enacted. “An advisory question is more of an opinion poll than anything,� Warford said. “It is not binding.� County Clerk Pam Warford (who is running uncontested) wanted to remind residents that they do not have to wait until election day to cast their ballots, as early voting is currently underway and continues until Nov. 5.

Library and Job Center offer Job Search and Resume Workshop By MEAGAN MCGLASSON Jersey County Journal The Illinois Department of Employment Security will be partnering with the Jerseyville Public Library and the Jerseyville Job Center to assist residents with job searches.

With glorious new staging and dazzlingly reimagined scenery inspired by the paintings of Victor Hugo, this breathtaking production of Les Misérables, which broke box office records during its pre-Broadway tour, has left both audiences and critics awestruck, cheering “Les Miz is born again!” (NY1). “I’m delighted that after a four-year absence this glorious production is once again touring the major cities across North America and is more spectacular than ever,” Cameron Mackintosh said. Set against the backdrop of 19th-century France, Les Misérables tells an enthralling story of broken dreams and unrequited love, passion, sacrifice and redemption – a timeless testament to the survival of the human spirit. Featuring one of the greatest scores of all time, with thrilling and beloved songs including “I Dreamed A Dream,” “On My Own,” “Stars,” “Bring Him Home,” “One Day More,” “Do You Hear the People Sing” and many more, this epic and uplifting story has become one of the most celebrated musicals in theatrical history. Along with the Oscar-winning movie version, it has now been seen by more than 130 million people in 44 countries and in 22 languages around the globe. Les Misérables is still
the world’s most popular musical, breaking box office records everywhere in its 33rd year.

The original Les Misérables orchestrations are by John Cameron with new orchestrations by Christopher Jahnke, Stephen Metcalfe and Stephen Brooker. The production is directed by Laurence Connor and James Powell, designed by Matt Kinley inspired by the paintings of Victor Hugo with costumes by Andreane Neofitou and Christine Rowland, lighting by Paule Constable, sound by Mick Potter, musical staging by Michael Ashcroft and Geoffrey Garratt and projections by Fifty-Nine Productions. Music Supervision is by Stephen Brooker and James Moore, with casting by Kaitlin Shaw for Tara Rubin Casting. Les Misérables originally opened in London at the Barbican Theatre on Oct. 8, 1985, transferred to the Palace Theatre on Dec. 4, 1985 and moved to its current home at the Queen’s Theatre on April 3, 2004 where it continues to play to packed houses and is the only version of the original production left in the world. The original Broadway production of Les Misérables opened at the Broadway Theatre on March 12, 1987 and transferred to the Imperial Theatre on Oct. 17, 1990 running for 6,680 perfor-

The new production was conceived in 2009 to celebrate the 25th anniversary, with record-breaking productions in the U.K., Australia, Korea, Japan, Spain, France, Manila, Singapore, São Paulo and Dubai. The North American Tour traveled across the U.S. for two years then played a five-month engagement in Toronto before returning to the Imperial Theatre on Broadway in March 2014 for over 1,000 performances. The new production is currently playing to sold out houses across North America and in Mexico City with a new U.K. Tour beginning November 2018. To date, Les Misérables remains the 5th longest-running Broadway production of all time.

Nowlan talks football W
henever I go to a high school or college football game, I cringe at the sight of players on the field, standing as if witless (which they aren’t), looking to the sidelines for instructions from the coaches as to plays to call and defenses to mount. I fear that technology, coaches and parents have connived, unwittingly I’m sure, to take the game away from the kids. Let’s give it back to them. When I played high school football 60 years ago, we called our own plays in the huddle. And it was a good learning experience. In addition to using our own wits, we learned how to work together and make our own way on the field. Quarterback Dan Carrington was the final word on play calling, yet players often chimed in with such as: “Go off left tackle, Dan. I know I can handle this guy.” Then we went off tackle, and “this guy” reared up, pushed our left tackle aside, and smote down our halfback for a loss. Thus, Dan learned how to measure his teammates and whom he could trust. Dan later became president of Western Union. According to coaches and veteran football officials I talked with, those days are long gone. Digital technology now gives coaches the capacity to learn instantaneously during the game, from assistants up in the press box, about opponents’ defenses and of stuff players on the field can’t know. And the team playbook is an order of magnitude more complex than it was in my day, when we passed the pigskin maybe three or four times all game. Winning is apparently even more important to parents than it was in my day. A losing coach won’t be around for long, as he might have been in back when. So, coaches are under pressure to take advantage of every tool available, including calling the plays and defenses. And though they wouldn’t admit it, the coaches love being a greater part, maybe the dominant part, of the action. In effect, the high school players have become pawns under the Friday night lights. At the big-time college football level, the top five conferences, such as the SEC and Big Ten, are really professional businesses. Coach Lovie Smith at U. of I. makes $4 million a year and former athletic director Ron Guenther half a million in annual pension payments, with teams that can’t beat the College of the Little Sisters of the Poor, adding insult to injury.
When I was Guest Column teaching at the BY JIM NOWLAN University of Illinois in the 1990s, the political science adviser helped the UI players as much as possible. They had trouble scheduling a fifth course each semester, because from noon until 8 p.m. or so each day they were at work: weight training, practice, games. Then, when a player used up his eligibility, his scholarship was yanked, often long before graduation. Sister Marie Golla, PhD, the adviser, would raise Holy Hell with the athletic department, sometimes getting scholarships reinstated. I would now and then help Sister Marie by taking a few players into independent studies, their fifth course in a semester. We met after evening training table meals. The players also lived in separate dorms, secluded from other students; they rarely became a part of campus life. Now and then a player made it to the pros, but average tenure there is just three years, I recall. Few make really big bucks. Here is what we can do to protect players from being pawns in a larger, adult game. The U.S. Tennis Association prohibits coaching from the sidelines, from the pros down to the juniors. In high school tennis, players even make their own in-or-out line calls, which has to build a sense of integrity. At the college level, the National Labor Relations Board dismissed a case in 2015 brought by Northwestern University football players, who sought labor union recognition. The NLRB dismissed the case, effectively denying the players the right to organize. The NLRB basically punted, finding that most of the big-time schools are public universities, over which the NLRB had no control. So, the NCAA continues to play adult, incredibly profitable games, while the players are moved around like chess pieces. Since the schools are public, public opinion will have to be brought to bear on the elite football schools to share the wealth, paying their players a decent salary. I say let the high school players call their own games, and learn from the experience, pay big school football players—and fire Lovie Smith. -------------------------------------------Q Jim Nowlan is a former Illinois legislator, state agency director, aide to three unindicted Illinois governors, author and professor.

You have another choice “We have to keep our eyes on the goal and go straight through between both errors.” - C.S. Lewis Christian theologian C.S. Lewis said when it comes to choosing between the lesser of two evils, don’t choose either. I was thinking about that advice last week when I cast an early ballot in this year’s election. Do I vote for Bruce Rauner, a man who I supported four years ago, who has proven himself inept and dishonest, or J.B. Pritzker, a person whose vision for Illinois I don’t agree with and whose own tax-avoidance shenanigans are shameful at best, criminal at worst? I stared at the ballot for a long stretch and refused to vote for either. Instead, I cast a write-in vote for someone I admire, who’s gotten into politics for all the right reasons. There is something deeply flawed about our political process when we continually face bad choices in whom we can vote for. One can ask: How did we get ourselves in this predicament? This year the answer is right in front of us: money. Both Pritzker and Rauner are wealthy individuals who are self-funding their campaigns. Gone are the days when gubernatorial candidates were busy making phone calls, hosting fundraisers and asking supporters for their donations. This pair just pulls out their checkbooks and starts writing. Once upon a time, Illinoisans viewed such self-funded candidates with a jaundiced eye. Voters turned up their noses at megarich candidates like Al Holfeld and Blair Hull when they sought to self-fund their runs for the U.S. Senate. So far, Rauner has spent $50 million of his own money and Pritzker has spent $150
million. Guest Column There is something to be BY SCOTT REEDER said for the fundraising process. It makes candidates at least somewhat responsive to the voters. You know there is something wrong with the political process when a member of the Kennedy family is crying poor because he can’t compete with Big Bucks Pritzker in the primary. During his time in office, Rauner has turned prevarication into an art form. Pritzker, on the other hand, has presented a fiscal plan that is nonsensical. The state is broke, but he wants to increase spending? He wants to raise taxes, but he won’t say by how much or on whom? Give me a break. In a democracy, the most precious thing a person possesses is a vote. When I was a reporter in Nevada, voters had the option of choosing “None of the Above.” Such an option is based on the principle that consent requires the ability to withhold consent in an election. Other democracies such as Greece and India give voters this option. Since Illinois doesn’t, I chose to cast a protest vote for someone I admire. A wasted vote? Nope. When forced to choose between two evils, choose neither. -------------------------------------------Q Scott Reeder, a veteran statehouse journalist, works as a freelance reporter in the Springfield area; ScottReeder1965@ gmail.com.

YOUR VIEWS nearly 25 percent of all UCC congregations ONA label doesn't have adopted the ONA label. But it is a label that the majority of those congregations affilitell whole truth ated with the UCC have not adopted, so it
TO THE EDITOR: I was disappointed to see your paper run a perfunctory piece about St. John’s United Church of Christ (UCC) in Brighton operating its LGBTQIA ministry in your Oct. 24 issue. This is not because I am opposed at all to the idea of treating our gay and lesbian friends, family, and neighbors with love and respect (quite the opposite actually), or because I think most “news” about local church related happenings are boring space fillers on par with a “dog bites man” level of journalism, but rather I think parroting the party line of the UCC’s Open and Affirming program (ONA) without any context actually does more harm than good to the overall rhetoric surrounding LGBT+ issues. This program relies on a mixture of logical fallacies and historical amnesia that a local source of news such as yourself should endeavor to combat pro forma. Full disclosure: I grew up in the UCC, at Peace UCC here in Jerseyville (although I would not consider myself a member now), and observed first hand how issues of human sexuality tore the denomination apart over the last 20+ years. I can recall with some vividity being a youth delegate at an Illinois South Conference annual meeting of the church in the late 90s and seeing the otherwise placid plenary session boo and jeer heartily a speaker who dared to suggest the then-revolutionary idea that we should love our gay and lesbian brethren in spite of their ostensibly sinful nature. Society has thankfully come a long way since, and I am proud to say openly that I believe that the state should not make any distinctions in the services it provides all citizens based on sexual orientation, among other criteria. I recognize this is a controversial stance in spite of some believing that it shouldn’t be seen as controversial or held as a stance at all, but I feel it is one rightly to be argued and hashed out with any who disagree in good faith using commonly accepted facts. Yet, it is a great disservice to the community at large to declare that the UCC or Christianity generally can support without qualification this position, however seemingly innocuous that declaration may be. A quick and woefully oversimplified history lesson: the United Church of Christ was formed by the 1957 merger of the Congregational Christian Churches (which interestingly enough trace their lineage back to the Puritan settlements of New England) and the predominantly Midwestern German immigrant based Evangelical and Reformed Church, which had a sizable footprint here in and around St. Louis. The old E&R Church was formed by the earlier merger of German Lutheran and Calvinist churches in America to mimic the unification of Protestantism back in the old country where King Friedrich Wilhelm III decided in 1817 that all his subjects should be one body within the Church of Prussia (groups of Germans who opposed this mixing of Lutheranism with Calvinism resettled in America and eventually became The Lutheran Church - Missouri Synod). I suppose this proves nothing significant really except that the UCC has an established record of an “anything goes” approach that doesn’t let pesky things like theology or history stand in the way of social unity. It is with this tradition in mind that the church at its founding adopted a congregationalist model of governance. That is, a local congregation is free to adopt and/or promulgate nearly anything it pleases without any other UCC body able to veto it or conversely be obliged to adopt it itself. Accordingly, the Riverside Church of NYC (an interdenominational parish affiliated with both the UCC and the American Baptist Churches USA) voted in 1987 to adopt “a simple statement” that the church welcomed everyone regardless of sexual orientation (later known as ONA). A less than charitable view of the event would suggest it was done to make the church stand out in an overcrowded market of already declining Protestant churches in an increasingly secular city, but it very well could have been the result of genuine prayer and reflection on the issue. Whatever the case, several other congregations followed suit, and in time
is more a statement made by a local church rather than a national denomination - an important distinction. I must admit that I am not acquainted with St. John’s specifically, and it may be that rural Macoupin County is home to a vibrant community of progressivism that has been unusually quiet until now, but my first instinct upon seeing the article was to assume that membership of the parish has declined (as it has in all rural Protestant churches) to such a point that the few who remain must have felt a drastic Hail Mary pass-esque change in policy was needed to keep the congregation in existence. This is not to accuse the church of ulterior motives necessarily - I’m certain that there is a genuine depth of feeling present that lead to the decision - but it can’t help but sound like an answer to a question no one asked. Additionally, at face value, saying things like ONA or that “Love your neighbor happens here” are all well and good; I personally don’t wish to argue against loving one’s neighbor. Which is entirely the point. Loudly asserting that you support bland platitude X has the negative implication that anyone who opposes you must also therefore oppose X. We’ve all seen this principle in action, particularly during election season. Candidates for office are always quick to extol the virtues of the flag, veterans, and apple pie in the hopes that the electorate might think that their opponent opposes them. Naming the program “Open and Affirming”, either by accident or design, has the effect of attempting to suggest that any other church or organization that doesn’t accept that branding is neither open nor affirming, which these other groups naturally and somewhat forcefully maintain is not the case. Which brings me to my biggest concern. As much as some would like it to say otherwise, the Bible flatly rejects homosexuality (as well as divorce, allowing females to any position of authority, mixing cotton and linen in garments, etc). There are ways to explain around this rejection, but to do so in the manner of the ONA movement within the UCC carries with it the suggestion that any other group that does not go along with this line of thinking is doing so out of bad faith entirely, rather than any textual or historical reasons. To say that a gay outreach ministry is “welcoming” and Christian without any qualification is to imply that any opposition to a gay outreach ministry is itself unwelcoming and not Christian, which not only makes no historical sense, but also puts self-described “traditional” Christians on the defensive. It makes them consider anything otherwise unrelated to their faith in accommodating homosexuality now a direct attack on them and theirs, personally. How one can hope to convince anyone of anything when their minds are already thus primed for opposition is beyond me. Is it fair or reasonable to have to make accommodations for this mindset? Perhaps not, but I am admittedly more interested in recognizing the reality faced in affecting change than in framing my position alone as righteous at the expense of actually achieving it. Intended or not, this is the result of ONA and of the Journal uncritically reporting on its ministry without this context. As I said at the beginning, this was a disappointing oversight, but it is an easily forgivable one, as it requires nuance and constant vigilance against simpler propaganda that is increasingly in short supply in our shared discourse. How we as the public approach these issues doesn’t have to be this way. There are entirely secular rationales behind supporting non-heteronormative youth that can helpfully avoid these kinds of distracting theological debates. It is in society’s best interest to furnish a healthy environment for those that may otherwise find themselves in hostile circumstances, regardless of where their souls may or may not reside in the hereafter, in the hopes of keeping them from becoming a harm to themselves and/or to others in the here and now. Providing safe spaces for at risk youth already occupies the moral high ground; to engage in this gaming of linguistics only hurts the overall message. JACOB EYERS Jerseyville, Ill.

The Magic of Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia “
I have traveled around the globe and seen the American and Canadian Rockies, the Andes, Alps and the Highlands of Scotland, but for simple beauty Cape Breton outrivals them all.” - Alexander Graham Bell This past summer I visited Nova Scotia, which is a province in Eastern Canada settled by the Scots. After touring parts of New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island, I crossed the ferry into Nova Scotia, which is Latin for New Scotland. Blue-green hills, crystal clear lakes and winding, curving sometimes narrow roads all reminded me of Scotland. The only thing different, was the temperature was much warmer and there was no fog. In early August, it was in the 80’s, but from what I understand, their summers are short and the winters are long. We spent two nights on Cape Breton Island in Baddeck, which was home to Alexander Graham Bell and his wife Mabel. There is a great museum about his life that many people in my group toured, however after being on the bus all day, I chose to walk around by the water and breathe in the fresh air instead. Alexander Graham Bell was born in Scotland, and had lived in the U.S. until he was told that the clean air of Nova Scotia along with the beauty would be good for his health. He and his wife Mabel lived out the rest of their lives in Baddeck. I quickly found a lovely stature of the couple that overlooks the water and took a selfie. Mabel had been one of Alexander’s hearing impaired students. They later married and had four children. Many of his inventions have to do with helping the hearing impaired communicate. That night we stayed at the Inverary Resort. Here, all the buildings are named after something in Scotland. Mine was Culloden. I was in heaven. The scenery was so breathtaking that I didn’t want to go inside. The blue water, rolling mountains and cool evening air was even more enchanting as I heard the distant echo of a bagpiper playing in town. I walked up to the main building of the hotel after supper and found the locals gathering for a jam session. Guitars, fiddle, keyboard, mandolin, you name it. If you played something or sang, you were in. I spent the next hour listening to folk songs about lovely Cape Breton Island. The highlight of the evening was when one of the ladies sang “The Island” which is like a national anthem for Cape Breton Island. Having only been here for a few hours, I was already falling in love with this beautiful place as she sang. “We are an island, a rock in a stream. We are a people as proud as there’s been. In soft summer breeze or in wild winter wind. The home of our hearts, Cape Breton.” Many of the people here are very proud of their heritage and can trace it back to the days of Bonnie Prince Charlie in Scotland. They proudly display the tartan and play the pipes and other celtic instruments. The next day we went on the Cabot
Trail. This was Guest Column about an eight BY LAURIE FREY hour trip with lots of scenic stops. Part of Cape Breton Island is French Canadian and part is Scottish or Celtic. We stopped in the small town of Cheticamp and visited an ornate Catholic Church that was surrounded by the colorful hills.. The homes on this part of the Cabot Trail all fly a flag that resembles the French flag but has one star on it. This star represents the Virgin Mary. Our guide told us that the church we visited had great acoustics and if anybody wanted to sing from the balcony, the sound would carry perfectly to the rest of the church. Since I was on a tour with people I had never met, and probably would not see again, I belted out a few bars of “Oh Happy Day.” I don’t know if the acoustics were that good, but at least I tried. Continuing on, the road became more curvy along the coastline as we went up. Our guide said that even with the giant amounts of snow in the winter, the schools seldom close. They either do their work online, or they plow the roads the best they can and have massive snow tires on the school busses. The scenery became more breathtaking as the azure sky, blue water and green hillsides collided into one. Lunch was at a small park. While most of the group sat and ate, I chose to take a short hike next to a stream, where all I could hear was water rushing over the rocks. The tour of the Cabot trail ended at a lovely beach with white rocks, where a famous hotel called the Keltic Inn overlooks the water. The Keltic Inn is a pretty popular place and our tour guide told us, she actually worked there in the late 1950s. She compared it to the resort in the movie “Dirty Dancing.” That evening, back in Baddeck I found a small “Ceilidh,” which is Gaelic for “kitchen party.” Here I listened to a young man play the fiddle while a lady accompanied him on the piano. They both played so fast and with so much energy that I thought the building was going to shake from all the foot tapping. He explained that there is no written music for their tunes and many are passed down from generation to generation. He said fiddle playing was in his family and he never knew a time that he did not play. Several of the folks got up and learned a traditional square dance with a local instructor and we learned that foot tapping means “keep playing” and when you clap (usually with the beat), that means to play one more stanza and then stop. Luckily, we clapped after a few rounds of the square dancing so the dancers were not wore out. The next morning I boarded the bus with my fellow travelers and headed to Halifax. I only wish we could have lingered a little longer in beautiful Cape Breton Island. -------------------------------------------Q Laurie Frey is a guest columnist for the Jersey County Journal.

IDOT seeks safety message ideas for state highways
Do you have a creative flair and an interest in helping to improve safety on Illinois roads? The Illinois Department of Transportation is inviting the public to submit ideas for safety messages to display on the electronic signs located over highways throughout the state. “Our dynamic message signs are seen by millions of motorists and are one of the best tools we have to reach the public with important information that can save lives,” Illinois Transportation Secretary Randy Blankenhorn said. “This contest is yet another way to drive home the message that driving has life or death consequences. Safety is everyone’s responsibility. We look forward to seeing your ideas.” Some of the basic rules include: Q Keep it short and simple. Messages are restricted to three lines with 18 characters per line. Spaces and punctuation count as characters. Q Each message must align with one of the six categories: distracted driving, impaired driving, speeding, occupant restraint, work zone safety and vulnerable users, such as motorcyclists, bicyclists and pedestrians. Q One message from each category will be chosen for display by an internal IDOT committee. Q The deadline for submissions is Nov. 19. Winners will be announced in early 2019. Click here or visit idot.illinois.gov/dms-contest to learn more about contest rules and to
submit ideas. Visit the Travel Midwest site to see messages currently on display in real time. The winning messages will be displayed at times throughout the year to help promote traffic safety. Winning entrants also receive a personalized street sign. The sign contest and renewed focus on safety messaging are part of IDOT’s Life or Death Illinois campaign in response to back-to-back years of more than 1,000 deaths on Illinois roads, the highest total in a decade. Other efforts include crashed cars at rest areas as a physical reminder of the importance of responsible driving and continued development of new ways to improve safety in work zones. On Oct. 30, IDOT will convene state and local agencies, elected officials and other stakeholders for a safety summit with discussion focused on distracted driving. Life or Death Illinois is a multimedia campaign that includes vivid imagery and key statistics to underline the importance of safe driving and appeal to audiences to stop and consider the seriousness of the issues on the state’s roads. It marks the first time IDOT expanded its key safety messages beyond the ongoing problems of impaired driving and unbuckled motorists to include new materials aimed at reducing deaths and injuries tied to motorcycles, bicycles, pedestrians, work zones and distracted driving.

2018 Illinois Report Card shows more students than ever enrolling in college
The Illinois State Board of Education (ISBE) today released the 2018 Illinois Report Card at www.illinoisreportcard.com. The 2018 data show the highest percentage of students enrolling in college since Illinois began reporting the metric in 2014. The percentage of students enrolling in college 12 months after graduation increased to nearly three-quarters of all graduates – up from 68.7 percent just four years ago. The data also show record numbers of students both taking and passing Advanced Placement exams. More than 2,000 additional students took more than 6,500 additional Advanced Placement exams in 2018 compared to in 2017, while maintaining Illinois’ high pass rate at approximately 66 percent. From 2017 to 2018, enrollment in career and technical education increased by more than 6,000 students to 283,473. The percent of graduates needing to take remedial courses at Illinois community colleges continued to decline from 46.8 percent in 2017 to 45.7 percent in 2018. “The positive trends in college and career readiness show so much is going right in our schools,�State Superintendent of Education Tony Smith, Ph.D. said. “We are also laser focused on providing and advocating for resources and supports for the schools that need them the most. We have radically more fair funding and support systems in place to build on the enormous teaching and leading talent in our schools. We have high expectations for our students, and we know that each and every student can meet them. In the midst of a statewide teacher shortage crisis, we are working hand in glove with lawmakers to get schools the resources and fully supported educators they need to improve.� The 2018 Illinois Report Card shows that Illinois’ student population has become increasingly diverse. Students of color comprise a majority of Illinois’ students, while the percentage of teachers who identify as white has held constant at approximately 83 per-
cent. ISBE recently approved legislative recommendations to expand, better support, and diversify the state’s highly qualified teacher workforce. The state’s new support and accountability system for all schools launches with the 2018 Illinois Report Card. As part of the new system, each school’s Report Card includes a designation—a descriptor of how well the school is meeting the needs of all students. The designation is based on 10 measures of performance, including student growth for schools up to eighth grade. The designation provides transparency for families and communities and identifies the highest-need schools to receive additional supports through the IL-EMPOWER school improvement process. “The designations are facts, not judgments,� Smith said. “The purpose of the designation is to drive resources to the students in the greatest need. No single data point can capture what makes a school great. We encourage schools to use the designation as a tool to communicate about strengths and challenges and to engage communities and stakeholders in the success of all students.� The Exemplary designation
identifies the highest-performing 10 percent of schools. The Lowest-Performing designation identifies the lowestperforming five percent of schools. Schools where most students are performing well but where one or more student groups is significantly underperforming receive the Underperforming designation. All other schools receive the Commendable designation. Approximately 70 percent of schools received the Commendable designation, and approximately 15 percent received the Underperforming designation on the 2018 Illinois Report Card. Schools with the Underperforming or Lowest-Performing designation participate in the IL-EMPOWER improvement process, which begins with a school-led needs assessment to identify local priorities in the areas of Governance & Management, Curriculum & Instruction, and Climate & Culture. The process includes additional federal funding, ISBE school support managers, and the school’s choice of vetted professional learning partners to work with on local improvement needs. View a series of infographics on the new support and accountabil-
ity system at www.isbe.net/ support. The 2018 Illinois Report Card also shows each district’s Evidence-Based Funding (EBF) tier and amount. The state overhauled its primary funding formula in 2017 to send more state funding to the districts in the greatest financial need. A district’s percentage of adequacy compares its actual funding to what the EBF statute defines as full funding for that specific district. Tier 1 districts have the lowest state funding compared to what they need, and Tier 4 districts have full funding or more than full funding.

Illinois drivers face slight increase in likelihood of deer collisions
It’s October, and officially fall. The odds of hitting a deer while driving more than doubles during October, November and December when deer collisions are most prevalent. For the 16th year, State Farm has produced an annual deer collision report, giving Illinoisans a better idea of the risks they face this fall: Q Illinois drivers have a slight increase in likelihood of hitting a deer compared to a year ago. Chances of hitting a deer in Illinois have increased to one in 200, up from the one in 204 chance in 2017. Q In regards to state rankings, Illinois remains in the middle of the pack at number 32 (same ranking as 2017). Q It is estimated that a little over 42,600 claims from hitting a deer were handled in Illinois over the past year, an
increase of about 1,200 claims compared to 2017. Nationally, the odds of needing to file an insurance claim from hitting a deer, elk or moose went down slightly compared to last year’s estimates. While chances are typically one out of 167 chance nationally, that likelihood more than doubles during October, November and December, when collisions with those animals are most prevalent. Nationally, statistics show: Q For the 12th year in a row, West Virginia tops the list of states where a collision is most likely, followed by Montana, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Iowa. Q Hawaii was at the bottom of the list for the 12th year in a row, as well. Q These crashes can be
costly for drivers, with a national average cost per claim of $4,341.85 (an increase of about $200 compared to 2017). Remember the following safety tips to avoid deer collisions: Q Stay alert and watch the road. Q Avoid distractions, which could prevent you from seeing a large animal or other object in your path. Q Be especially vigilant during peak season. Q Use headlights intelligently. Use high-beams at night when possible to illuminate the road’s edges. Q Watch out at mealtime. Between dusk and dawn animals usually venture out to eat. Q Brake as necessary. If you think you have time to avoid hitting the animal, reduce speed, tap the brakes to warn
Summit spotlights distracted driving dangers, looks to develop solutions to traffic safety issues The Illinois Department of Transportation today convened its first “Traffic Safety Summit: Partnering Toward Zero Deaths� to bring together local and state agencies, public officials and community members to seek solutions to distracted driving and develop new ways to increase safety and awareness on Illinois roads. “The number of lives lost each year due to crashes is nothing short of an epidemic,� Illinois Transportation Secretary Randy Blankenhorn said. “No one group can tackle this alone, which is why it was is important to bring everyone together to discuss a multifaceted approach to this complex issue. This summit is just the beginning of what needs to be a statewide conversation on how to save lives.� Texting and driving — and other forms of distracted driving — is a growing public safety hazard, suspected of contributing to the increasing number of traffic deaths in Illinois. The last two years, traffic deaths in Illinois surpassed 1,000, the highest in a decade and mirroring national trends. “One of my top traffic safety priorities is combating distracted driving — especially texting while driving,�Secretary of State Jesse White said. “This is why last week I unveiled a new distracted driving video that was written, produced and features high school students. The video is being distributed to high schools statewide to help address the dangers of distracted driving and is yet another effort by my office to educate the public on the dangers of distracted driving. I applaud IDOT for hosting this Traffic Safety Summit. Working together, we can save lives.� In addition to speakers from IDOT, other participants included: a distracted driving community advocate, traffic safety engineers, educators, first responders and other law
enforcement. The Minnesota Department of Transportation led a presentation on its successful Toward Zero Deaths initiatives. Additionally, multidisciplinary work groups came together to delve further into the issue. “Crashes remain a leading cause of injury and death in the United States,�Illinois Department of Public Health Director Nirav D. Shah said. “Preventing motor vehicle deaths and injuries will take a proactive approach that involves bringing together multiple stakeholders – law enforcement, transportation experts, advocacy groups and public health. Working together we can continue to reduce the number of deaths and injuries caused by vehicle crashes each year.�
The summit is the latest effort by IDOT to improve traffic safety and awareness across the state. Other initiatives include: crashed cars displayed at rest areas this summer as a physical reminder of the importance of responsible driving, a dynamic message sign contest encouraging people to submit their own safety messages and continued development of new ways to improve safety in work zones. Earlier this year, IDOT launched Life or Death Illinois, a multimedia campaign that includes vivid imagery and key statistics to underline the importance of safe driving and appeals to audiences to consider the seriousness of the issues on the state’s roads.

Don’t risk putting yourself in a worse situation. Q Always obey speed limits and wear seat belts Q If you hit a deer move your vehicle to a safe location, then position yourself and any other people involved in the crash in a safe location until help arrives. Q Never approach an injured animal. A hurt, scared animal poses serious threats to people. Q Report the crash if you have one.

UNICORN
POWERS, ACTIVATE!
In spite of fighting an uphill battle, Melanie Gianella is all smiles as she tries to pull a rope (and not-pictured opponent) up a mountain in this inflatable game at the Jerseyville Public Library. While losing is never fun, it’s tough to be disappointed when you’re dressed as a rainbow unicorn.

OF THE CORN
Emerie Wessley shovels corn into a bucket while pondering some of life’s biggest questions, like whether this was the first time in the history of the world that a real-life princess met a real-life dinosaur. While answers remained elusive, fun did not for children attending the library’s annual Halloween event.

SIGHTED IN JERSEY

While experts were unable to identify the specific species of this little brown bear (Jackson Edwards), local hero Alexis Campbell was able to wrangle the hungry beast and keep his attention focused on a delicious hotdog. Spotted at the Jerseyville Public Library after festivities ended uptown, experts agreed the presence of a bowtie indicated the bear was probably harmless.

While this isn’t the traditional pumpkin picking activity, Hudson Lyons, the pumpkin, tries to catch farmer Lane Heitzig as he ducks behind a chaperone. While these boys were more than happy to make their own games, plenty were also provided by the Jerseyville Public Library at the Halloween celebration on Oct. 27.

By CHRIS ENROTH U of I Extension â&#x20AC;&#x153;The meatball meter is off the charts!â&#x20AC;? That statement made me chuckle as I sat in a crowd listening to Michael Dirr a few years ago. This leading plantsman known worldwide for his work with trees and shrubs was lamenting on the tragedy of shearing plants into â&#x20AC;&#x153;meatballsâ&#x20AC;?. Often when you see these â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;meatballsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; in the landscape, they sit atop a sea of mulch. If the mulch is dyed red, then that just adds more to the visual that our yards look like giant plates of spaghetti. Meatballs and mulch may be desirable to many, but I cannot buy into this type of yard. I garden like I cook, which could best be described as an unhinged chef. Fortunately, the meal often turns out pretty good. Though keep in mind, I cook what I like to eat. The same goes for my landscape. In my yard, I have plants (and some weeds) that persist due to my fascination with one or more parts of their lifecycle. It could be their flowers, seed, foliage, forage for wildlife, fall color and other excuses I tell my wife so she doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t pull them up. An observer would view my yard and see a deranged gardener. I see a balance between cultivation and nature. My kids love the yard. Little is sacred in the cacophony of plants and pots. They are allowed to roam free, shovel in hand, to dig and create whatever their imagination holds. Can their toiling become an eyesore? Certainly! Can it be fixed? So far!
While I may have painted a dire picture of a landscape in desperate need of help, there is order and qualities that help to hold everything together. The shape of the landscape beds and lawn are very geometric. A half circle forms the lawn space. The bed lines are strong, meaning they arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t wavy which is seen as excessive and weak. Taller plant materials flank my backyard framing the view out to the nearby woodland. Pathways and plant material extend the lines of the house into the landscape, tying together the built and natural areas into one cohesive space. Groupings of plant material repeat in the landscape beds. Creating a dynamic rhythm as the eye crosses the breadth of the landscape. Meanwhile, colorful containers accentuate a few spots out in the yard. Shrubs are pruned by hand to remove the older growth and maintain the plantâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s natural shape. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t prune to control size. Admittedly, there is a lot of wood mulch in my yard, but the goal is to have little to no need for it in the future. Our entire backyard was lawn, and we converted over half of that into landscaping. The mulch helps to keep the weeds at bay and protect the soil while the plants become established and cover the ground. Maybe youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a meatball and mulch gardener. I suggest you pick a spot in the yard and try a different approach that involves less shearing, less mulch and more plants. Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s call that stir-fry gardening. I really shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t write on an empty stomach.

GRANT RECIPIENTS ANNOUNCED
Rita Robertson, prevention educator, and officer Richard Portwood are partnering to present a drug awareness program, “Hidden In Plain Sight” for Jersey Community High School parents and guardians only. This is an interactive awareness program designed to increase parents’ knowledge and understanding of drug trends, drug related clothing, explore potentially risky behaviors and methods and devices used to conceal drugs and their use.

October 30, 2013 Jerseyville’s commissioner of accounts and finances owes more than $18,000 in county property taxes, which presents a problem, according to Illinois law. Yvonne Hartmann is liable for 21 properties with outstanding taxes from the 2011 and 2012 tax years, 19 of which are in the city of Jerseyville. Illinois Compiled Statute (ILCS) 3.1-10-5, which deals with qualifications for elective office, states “a person is not eligible to hold municipal office, if that per-son is, at any time during the term of office, in arrears in the payment of a tax or other indebtedness due to the municipality…” A 39-year-old Jerseyville man is being held without bond after allegedly attempting to engage in sexual acts with an 8-year-old girl. Timothy S. Griesemer was indicted Wednesday, Oct. 23 by a federal grand jury on charges of commercial sex trafficking of a child and inducement of a child to engage in prostitution. According to the complaint, on Oct. 8 Griesemer contacted a woman with whom he was in a “purely sexual” relationship, identified in court documents as CW-1, by text message requesting a girl between 10 and 14 years be brought into their sexual acts. CW-1 contacted the Jerseyville Police Department the next day to report Griesemer’s request. A Jerseyville resident is worried the natural beauty along Jerseyville’s most traveled street could be in jeopardy. Speaking at Tuesday night’s city council meeting, Charles Updike said the tree trimming work commissioned by Ameren Illinois is mutilating the landscape and may even be creating a danger for residents.
October 29, 2008 Nearly two months after the resignation from the city’s treasurer, Grafton faced another resignation after council member Joe Wilson turned in his letter Tuesday. Wilson, who has worked as a Grafton governmental employee for over seven years, acknowledged personal reasons for his resignation. It becomes effective Saturday, Nov. 1. It was a packed house at the Jersey County Courthouse Tuesday evening as taxpayers, who have cabins in the flood plain came together at the Jersey County Board’s Subdivision and Land Use Committee’s public meeting to try to get some direction on what to do about their cabins that were “red tagged” after the June flooding. Committee Chairman Gary Hayes presided over the meeting and introduced the invited guests: Mike Bryant from the Federal Emergency Management Agency Region Five in Chicago; Paul Osman, the statewide flood-plain coordinator for Illinois; Dale Bainter, environmental health director for the county; and Katie Menard from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. The former owners of the Wild Cherokee Tribe Kennel, which is now defunct, were slated to appear in Jersey County Circuit Court Thursday, Oct. 23 for a pretrial conference. However, the defendants failed to appear as did their attorney. John and Marsha Payne are being represented by G. Edward Moorman of Alton, and were to appear before Sangamon County Judge John Childress. Although the trio was a no show, Judge Childress stated that the cause remains set for the jury trial, which is scheduled to begin Nov. 13.

to early retirement A lifetime of working compels many people to look forward to their retirement. Some people even work to retire early. But what are the advantages of early retirement beyond starting a life of leisure? And are there any detriments to this plan? A 2014 survey by the financial services provider TIAA-CREF found that 37 percent of Americans plan to retire before age 65. However, many of them will not have control over the matter. Those who do may want to consider the pros and cons of early retirement. Q Advantages Many people seek early retirement so that they can live a life free of the constraints of schedules. In retirement, time becomes, more or less, a retiree’s own. Leaving a job can be a boon to a person’s health as well. Relieving oneself of the pressures and stresses of professional life can free up the mind and body. Stress can affect mental and physical health, taxing the heart and contributing to conditions such as depression or anxiety. According to the Mayo Clinic, stress can cause headache, muscle and chest pain and contribute to trouble sleeping. The earlier the retirement, the more opportunity to travel before health issues begin to limit mobility. Early retirement also can be a way to volunteer more or even start a new job opportunity — one where workers have greater control over their schedules and careers. Q Disadvantages One of the disadvantages of early retirement is a loss of income. Contributions to retirement accounts also ceases at retire-

ment. This can lead to financial setbacks if adequate savings were not allocated for retirement. According to the resource Wealth How, some people who retire early fear outliving their savings. While retiring early may be good for health, it also can have negative consequences. An analysis from the National Bureau of Economic Research found that retirement can lead to declines in mental health and mobility as well as feelings of isolation. Retiring early may jump start these health implications. Another consideration is that health insurance provided by an employer typically ends at retirement. That means having to pay out of pocket until a person ages into government-subsidized healthcare, such as Medicare in the United States, at age 65. Retiring early is a complex issue that requires weighing the pros and cons.
Four simple ways to save more for retirement It’s never too early to begin saving for retirement. While millions of people have no doubt heard or read those very words before, surveys indicate that few people are taking that lesson to heart. A 2018 survey from Bankrate.com found that 20 percent of Americans don’t save any of their annual income. Things aren’t necessarily rosier in Canada, where the financial institution CIBC reports that 32 percent of people nearing or on the cusp of retiring have nothing saved for retirement. Saving for retirement can seem impossible in households where every dollar counts. But the following are four simple ways to save more for retirement without making dramatic lifestyle changes. 1. Turn raises into retirement savings. According to the WorldatWork 2018-2019 Salary Budget Survey: Top Level Results, salary budgets in the United States are projected to rise by an average of 3.2 percent in 2019, while those in Canada are expected to rise by three percent. Working professionals can save more for retirement by converting some or all their rais-
es into retirement savings. Pre-tax retirement accounts allow working professionals to put aside money before taxes are paid, so weekly paychecks will not be greatly affected if you choose to increase the percentage of your income you deposit into such accounts. Do this each time you receive a raise and your retirement savings will grow considerably. 2. Put bonuses to work. Professionals who receive bonuses can speak to their employer and request that their retirement contribution rates be increased when bonuses are issued. Many 401(k) retirement plans allow workers to contribute as much as 80 percent of their paychecks. While that’s not sustainable for most people every pay period, increasing your contribution rate dramatically when your bonus is issued is a great way to save more for retirement. Contribution rates can then be returned to normal
the following pay period. 3. Downsize your home. Empty nesters nearing retirement age may benefit by downsizing their homes. Doing so can reduce utility bills, property taxes and other expenses, and those savings can then be redirected into retirement accounts. 4. Reinvest tax returns. Working professionals accustomed to receiving tax returns can use that money to catch up on their retirement savings. Rather than spending tax returns or depositing them into traditional savings accounts, reinvest them into a retirement account. Speak with a financial planner to help you figure out how to accomplish this goal. Even if it requires opening a new account, the long-term benefits or reinvesting returns are substantial. Saving for retirement is important, and it’s never too late or too early to start setting aside more money for your golden years.

Southwestern Cross Country finishes strong
Submitted photo
Laina Wilderman (left) and Caden Bohn (right) were all smiles at the IHSA 1A Regional Cross Country Meet, finishing the season strong for Southwestern.
By PETER GRISWOLD Jersey County Journal It had been 29 years since a Southwestern cross country runner won an individual regional championship. Senior Caden Bohn changed that last Saturday at the Carlinville IHSA Class 1A Regional meet with a personal best time of 16:29. Bohn got out to a strong start in a field of nearly 80 competitors and continued his push for the lead from there, though it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t until around midway through the three-mile race that a possible first-place finish began to appear. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I tried to hang on with everyone else and then I realized I could pull away,â&#x20AC;? said Bohn. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s exactly what he did on his way to first-place and a substantial thirteen-second lead when he crossed the finish line. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s become a fixture on the streets of Brighton,â&#x20AC;? Coach Gary Bowker said of Bohnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s self-motivation and willingness to get better. Freshman Laina Wilderman also entered the race hoping to finish in the top five for
a spot at sectionals. While only projected to finish around 10th, she established a great pace through the first mile and used a strong final kick down the stretch to earn third place and to record a personal best of 21:27. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I tried to push to the front and stay there,â&#x20AC;? said Wilderman. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m really happy to be moving on.â&#x20AC;? At the Decatur St. Teresa Sectional meet on Saturday Bohn came through with another impressive performance on challenging terrain. Although his time of 16:26 and 24th place left him short of an appearance at state, it was still an improvement of nearly a minute over his previous best at the course. Wilderman also cut more than two minutes off her time with a 21:58, good for 84th out of a field of 150. Only a freshman, Bowker sees a bright future ahead for her. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re each self-motivated and coachable. They run for the enjoyment of it, and not a lot of kids have that,â&#x20AC;? Bowker said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everybody [had personal bests] at regionals and they were running their best at the end of the season. As a coach thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what you strive for.â&#x20AC;?

Jersey athletics fall season recap By PETER GRISWOLD Jersey County Journal The fall sports season has come to a close, highlighted by several outstanding individual and team performances. At the start of October Jersey football headed into their homecoming game at 2-4, needing to win out to advance to the playoffs. After two victories against Triad and Civic Memorial the Panthers stood at 4-4, needing a win in the final game of the season to advance to the playoffs. They hit the road to Columbia High School, a solid team that came into the game with a 7-1 record. With a 36-28 win, Jersey football completed the tough comeback from 2-4 to earn a spot in the playoffs. They also achieved coach Ric Johnsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; preseason goal of reaching five wins and advancing to the playoffs. In the first round of the IHSA state playoffs the Panthers traveled four hours to face Hillcrest High School. The Hawks held a perfect 9-0 record coming into the game. The Panthers lost 47-0, though that didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take away from what they achieved this year. This season represented the culmina-
tion of a multi-year journey from finishing 0-9 several years ago to a winning record and a spot in the playoffs. Credit to coach Johns and the players for their resiliency and refusal to quit when they odds were stacked against them. In girlsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; tennis, Hannah Hudson and Chelsea Maag teamed up in doubles to advance to state. They handled Champaign Central 6-0 6-0 in the first round before falling to Walter Payton Academy in the second round. Maag and Hudson finished strong with a win in their third and final match of the day. In cross country, senior Hannah Tonsor and freshman Cole Martinez qualified for the Decatur Sectional. Though neither advanced to state, Tonsor ran a 22:13 while Martinez finished with a personal best of 17:25. After defeating Roxana in two sets, the girlsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; volleyball team advanced to the regional championship against Highland. The Bulldogs had been a powerhouse all year and came into the game with only two losses. Although the Panthersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; season ended there with a loss, they had an outstanding season and achieved much more than was expected of them.
