Two arrested on weapons charges n Search warrant nets more than 50 guns

By MARk PACE Jersey County Journal The Jersey County Sheriff’s office arrested two individuals and secured more than 50 weapons after conducting a search warrant Wednesday, Oct. 7, on Spankey Lane near the border of Jersey and Greene counties.

Danny L. Kimbrel and John J. Kimbrel were arrested in connection with the search conducted Oct. 7.

The search warrant dated Oct. 6 was issued by Jersey County Circuit Judge Eric Pistorius to Carrollton Police Chief Mike McCartney to seize an alleged stolen firearm believed to be on the property.

The search discovered the weapon that was allegedly stolen from a Carrollton residence less than a week prior to the search.

McCartney believed the Kimbrel’s Spanky Lane property neighboring Macoupin Creek was housing the stolen gun along with other weapons based on information found during the department’s investigation into the matter.

Danny Kimbrel was arrested for unlawful possession of weapons by a felon. His felony charge stems from a June 1992 charge of unlawful possession of a weapon in St. Clair County. Danny Kimbrel was also charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon in 1998 in Jersey County.

John Kimbrel was arrested for possessing a stolen firearm.

The search warrant uncovered a cache of more than 50 weapons on the property.

It also uncovered a militarystyle bomb detonator, according to McCartney.

The property lies in Jersey County, and the warrant was executed by the Jersey County Sheriff’s Department along with the ILEAS SWAT Team; the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and the Carrolton Police Department.

The ATF Chicago division is handling its aspect of the case. A

Businesses improve storefront aesthetics

By BOB CROSSEN Jersey County Journal The gray-blue boards have been ripped from the brick on State Street as a local business joins a host of others in beautifying its downtown storefront.

Wittworth Horn and Goetten Insurance Agency started talks with Mayor Billy Russell and Mary Heitizg, Jersey County Business Association CEO, earlier this year in the hopes of establishing a tax increment financing project.

A finalized direction for how he would like the building to look is not clear, but he said keeping the brick exposed and replacing windows to bring the building back to its original construction is part of the goal.

“We’re going to repair and replace the damaged brick,” Challans said.

“We’re going to replace all of the windows on the building on the upstairs and down to get them a little more updated. … We’re going to have bigger storefront type windows on it.”

Committee plans park upgrades R

By MARk PACE Jersey County Journal

ed Hawk Park in Grafton will see improvements before winter with more additions scheduled for spring.

Trees, a half-court basketball court, soccer goals and trash cans will be installed this fall. Additional playground equipment will be installed in the spring along with mulching.

“The people up there [in Grafton Hills] are saying they’ve been forgotten, and they’re not going to be forgotten if we make this,” parks committee member Flo Rowling said.

The parks committee received council approval to erect a sign at the park noting its name and logo.

Currently nothing is displayed at the park telling visitors where they are. The name and logo of the park

were decided by a contest at Grafton Elementary School when the park was made.

The expense for the additions will come exclusively from the city’s tax increment financing fund, Parks Committee Chairman member Jerry Bauersachs said, which the city will lose if not used by 2018. If the funds are not used for the park, they would go toward improvements for city streets, storm sewers or sidewalks, he added.

In total, $112,000 is budgeted for additions to the park. The total expense of the restroom project is estimated to cost roughly $95,000.

An additional $4,000 was budgeted for playground equipment.

Taxes will not be increased to pay for the additions as the money will come from the TIF fund.

Grafton City Council moved an additional $35,000 in funds from the TIF budget to the Red Hawk Park project to open bidding for restrooms

at the park during its September council meeting.

Residents raised concern about the money being used for the park and feel the expense is not necessary due to the park’s lack of use.

“I think it’s a waste of money,” Grafton resident Bernie Hettinger said.

Hettinger garnered 60 signatures on a petition asking the city not to add restrooms to the park. However, Bauersachs accused Hettinger of not giving residents all of the information about the restrooms when acquiring signatures.

Hettinger lives near the park and said the only people he sees use it are children too young to use the new additions.

Residents in favor of the upgrades also noted the park’s success is not guaranteed.

TreeHouse Wildlife Center in Dow admitted an armadillo into its hospital last week.

Staff believe the animal found in Breese may have been struck by a car. The center aims to rehabilitate the mammal through the winter months and release it next spring.

TreeHouse Wildlife Center admits armadillo T

By BOB CROSSen Jersey County Journal

reeHouse Wildlife Center faces an uncommon experience in rehabilitation after admitting an armadillo last week.

The Dow-based center has years of experience rehabilitating birds of prey – namely owls and eagles – and has also released rehabilitated bobcats into the wild. The hard-shelled mammal found in Breese, however, presents an unusual situation for the staff.

Rachael Heaton, THWC rehabilitation manager, said the armadillo has already provided her and other staff members and volunteers at the rehabilitation center with new knowledge due to the creature’s rarity this far north.

“As far as I know, they are not that common at all. The population is expanding northward naturally, but the area – especially our winters – get too cold for them because they can’t survive for long periods of time below freezing temperatures,” Heaton said. “They have low body temperatures, so it’s really hard to keep warm during those periods.”

The armadillo admitted to the center last week was found in Breese where Heaton said it is believed to have been hit by a car. She noted road rash and a damaged hind leg suggest an encounter with a vehicle, but said it is not completely clear how it was injured.

The extent of the injury to the hind leg, she said, is not clear, but the armadillo will go through an X-ray to determine how to mend its damaged limb before it is rehabilitated for potential release.

“So far, we don’t feel a fracture on him, but we want to be safe,” Heaton said.

She contacted a rehabilitation center in Texas to learn more about the animals, which seek year-round watering holes where – similarly to pigs – they can take mud baths, swim and stay well-hydrated.

The mammal’s low body temperature makes it prone to bacterial infection, which can be hard to identify due to the shell covering the body. In fact, they are the only other mammal known to carry leprosy because that temperature makes them a good host.

It is rare for the disease to transfer from the animal to humans, however, and

Heaton said some have suggested humans introduced leprosy to the shelled mammals.

“That’s extremely rare and as far as I’ve heard, outbreaks like that have been localized in one area in Florida,” Heaton said, noting human-to-human contact is most common for the spread of the disease. “Leprosy does do well in them, but from what I’ve read, it sounds like they actually got leprosy from us.”

TreeHouse, she said, was interested in making an outdoor enclosure for the armadillo, but learned they are prone to climbing caged enclosures and injuring themselves when they fall down.

And with winter approaching, keeping the animal indoors where the climate is more akin to its natural habitat will give it a better chance at surviving. As with all animals rehabilitated at the center, however, release into the wild is the ultimate goal.

“We’d have to probably build a special outdoor enclosure because our current outdoor ones aren’t designed for armadillos,” Heaton said, noting THWC would attempt to release the armadillo where it was found. “We have been talking about at least keeping him through the winter so he’d have next year to run around and do what he needs to do. … If he is releaseable, it will probably be next spring.”

If, however, the armadillo cannot be released back into the wild, she said it will remain at TreeHouse as an educational tool, much like several owls, eagles, and coyotes on the property.

But the public may not have to wait very long to learn about the animal in person as the center hosts its annual Owl Fest Oct. 24 and 25 in Dow. The open house will educate visitors about the resident animals at TreeHouse Wildlife Center and will offer tours of the rehabilitation area where the armadillo may be seen.

“Our entire hospital will be open for viewing,” Heaton said. “[The armadillo’s] hospital cage will be open for viewing, but he can be shy and will sometimes spend most of the day in his shelter. So they may or may not see him.”

For more information about the center, call 618-466-2990 or search TreeHouse Wildlife Center from any Facebook page.

A volunteer form is also available on the website.

By MARk PACe Jersey County Journal The Jersey County Board proposed its budget for fiscal year 2016 and will take action at next month’s board meeting.

The budget is available to be viewed by the public at the county offices.

“This has been an interesting project,” Board Chairman Don Little said at the Oct. 13 meeting. “It’s also been interesting from the amount of cooperation from office holders in not only presenting reasonable, realistic budgets, but in some instances, suggesting some reductions.”

The budget will continue the board’s recent pattern of frugalness. The local government was given confidence during the April election the public wants the Jersey County government to be more careful about how money is spent, Little said.

“Maybe if you build it people might show up, but who knows. It’s 50/50.”

Clayton is working with the committee to pick out trees to go in the park. He also spoke about having a block party at the park for residents and other events to increase the park’s use.

Rowling agreed with his

sentiment.

“When you talk about those get-togethers, a park is an ideal place,” Rowling said. “It’s not putting it in someone’s backyard where that person has to get their kitchen all messed up, and they end up with the biggest burden.”

Rowling said she and the committee will follow the Rotarians Four-Way Test

when adding to the park. The test asks if things thought, said or done are truthful, fair to all concerned, build goodwill and better friendships, and are beneficial to all concerned.

Challans is not the first to make such improvements to the building housing his business – Paragon Pipecovers completely renovated its location – and it will not be the last, either, Heitzig said.

On the southeast corner of Pearl Street and State Street, the old Kranich’s Drug Store location has been the subject of internal renovations for several weeks, and other buildings on the strip have also received attention.

Heitzig said seeing developments up and down State Street in what have been vacant buildings for years is exciting.

“It’s very exciting to see that. It really is.

That’s exactly what the city had hoped for when they first started talking about and established the TIF,” Heitzig said.

The finance committee will hold a meeting Thursday, Oct. 15 at 6:30 p.m. to further review and discuss the budget.

In other business, the board received a recommendation from an ad hoc committee reviewing closed session minutes.

It was the advice of the committee to continue to keep the meeting minutes closed at this time due to legal matters that took place during those closed sessions.

Savannah Ridenour, 21, lost control of her car while traveling southbound on Illinois Route 109 a tenth of a mile south of Airport Road in Godfrey. The car traveled across the northbound lane before rolling over in a ditch.

during the summer to show the public its renovation work that exposed the original brickwork and incorporated it into the design of the rest of the building.

Such projects aimed at beautifying downtown structures are par for the course for tax increment financing districts. Jerseyville adopted its first TIF district around one year ago, and since then business owners have taken advantage of the incentives offered.

And even though Challans’ project is not a TIF project, tax increment financing encouraged him to learn what it would take to update the building. Working with the wooden slabs overlaying the original brick, he said, was difficult.

“That old wood stuff that was on the front, it couldn’t be repainted. It couldn’t be repaired,.”

Challans said. “The best thing we found to do was spend the money and go forward with a complete repair.”

Other business owners have adopted similar attitudes to the downtown buildings, and Heitzig said Challans project will not be the last.

Mel’s eyes November opening

By Mark Pace Jersey County Journal Mel’s Riverdock Restaurant in Hardin is aiming to reopen in November, store owners Mel and Sara Heffington confirmed.

The reopening comes six months after the restaurant was gutted by an electrical fire.

The couple received a work permit Monday, Oct. 5 and started working again Oct. 6. Contractors and store employees working construction on the restaurant believe it could be open as soon as Nov. 1.

However, the Heffingtons believe the opening will be closer to Thanksgiving.

“Everyone says we’ll open the first of November, but I have my doubts,” Mel Heffington said. “There’s just too much to get done.”

The restaurant will do a soft opening when work is finished and will follow with a grand opening event several weeks later. The soft opening will allow store employees to get settled before the larger event welcomes the bigger crowds.

Heffington will cook for the first several weeks to make sure his signature flavor remains and the restaurant can provide customers with the quality they’ve come to expect, he said.

“I want to get the flavor back to the way it was,” he said. “I want to make sure my flavors are there. I think it had lost just a little bit of its favor. I seem like I have a natural seasoning ability, and I want to get that going again before I turn

it over.”

Staff members who worked at Mel’s before the fire were offered the opportunity to come back and work. Most of the employees are coming back, but several employees received different jobs after the fire and will remain at their new positions.

The restaurant will have the same basic layout, but there will be some changes.

The cash register will be moved to improve the flow of the restaurant as will the drive-up window. Wires will also be run through a new beam and will not be visible to the public to improve the appeal and make the restaurant safer for workers and customers.

In order to rebuild in the flood plane without raising the restaurant, the total damage could not surpass the damage threshold of 50 percent of the building’s value. Mel Heffington received an estimate of 46 percent, meaning the family could rebuild.

However, any further damage could threaten the restaurant’s future.

In a 10-year period, a building in the floodplain cannot sustain damage of more than 50 percent of its structure without moving or raising the property.

The law leaves Mel’s Riverdock Restaurant with four percent of wiggle room over the next decade or it will be required to raise the restaurant, which Heffington said he cannot do. Many of his customers are older and would not be able to get up stairs or a ramp to enter the facility, he said.

“It just don’t seem proper to me,” Heffington said. “This was a fire, but [FEMA] told me it don’t make a difference whether it’s a flood or fire or whatever.”

This is not the first time a restaurant in Calhoun County has dealt with this issue. Kampsville Inn suffered damage in 2012 that left it with a damage assessment between 48 and 49 percent. The restaurant suffered more damage during this summer’s flood and has not been able to reopen since.

However, Mel’s Riverdock Restaurant’s estimate will allow it to open and serve its wide range of customers from across the U.S. and has an array of patrons from across the region.

“I’m really surprised how the people have come,” Heffington said. “When we were first opening, I wanted to have food that you can’t find at just any restaurant, and that’s basically what we have.”

The restaurant brings a variety of crowds to Calhoun County to enjoy the eatery. Heffington welcomes the diversity and said his customers range from motorcycle clubs to boaters. His wife added the diversity extends even wider.

“The customers come from all over.

This time of year is when the hunters come in,” Sara Heffington said. “No matter where we go, people stop and ask when and if we’ll open. We get it everywhere. When we run to the grocery store to get a gallon of milk, three people will stop us and ask how we are progressing.”

Issue: Bustle on State Street Our View: City's vision slowly realized

Publisher and Editor: Julie Boren

S

ince introducing the tax increment financing district, which included buildings along the downtown strip of Jerseyville on State Street, entrepreneurs have taken notice.

Paragon Pipecovers broke the seal for remodeling buildings in downtown with its tax increment financing project, and other business owners are now following suit.

The facade of Whitworth, Horn and Goetten Insurance Agency has seen major changes as Lorton Construction ripped the blue gray boards from the building to reveal its original brick exterior. The business plans to incorporate that original color and design into its remodeling project, much like Paragon Pipecovers did.

And kitty corner from that construction work, commotion inside the former Kranich’s Drug Store has been bustling for several weeks. While the building may get a facelift on the outside, its interior is also the subject of renovations, and we’re excited to see the final result.

It seems from an early standpoint the city’s goal of incentivizing businesses and encouraging economic growth in Jerseyville through its tax increment financing district is working. Vacant buildings are being filled and old structures are being refitted.

Further south on State Street, The 518 South location looks to be moving toward opening another restaurant in the near future. And even further south, Lorton’s Home Center is a testament to restoring an old, historic building with a new, bustling business.

While not all of the projects on State Street are eligible to use TIF funds, the district has encouraged businesses look into remodeling to keep pace with their neighbors. And that healthy competition will net some picturesque views of some historic buildings.

We are excited about the prospect downtown Jerseyville may see its hustle and bustle again, and look forward to the projects our local businesses have in the works.

arlier this month former Disney star Raven-Symoné, best known as grandbaby Olivia on The Cosby Show, caught Oprah Winfrey completely by surprise during an interview.

She told Oprah, “…I’m American not African American. I don’t know what country I’m from in Africa, but I do know I have roots in Louisiana. I’m an American, and that’s a colorless person...”

Oprah warned the young lady that she might come to regret that declaration and the Twitter blow-up that was guaranteed to follow.

I am not here to start yet another argument rooted in racism, but I have to say that I believe this young woman showed an unprecedented amount of strength by making such a statement.

I also have to say I agree with her.

As the interview progressed, Raven-Symoné further defined her stand.

She said that the majority of today’s Americans are descendants of immigrants to this country. Our ances-

tors were first English, French, German, Italian, Spanish, African and so on.

When they colonized the land here and motivated our forefathers to create the United States of America, they became Americans.

While their homelands were still very much a part of them—their values, culture, traditions and beliefs—they were, in fact, Americans now.

Most of us are familiar with certain lines of Emma Lazarus’ famous poem, “A New Colossus,” that appears on a tablet within the pedestal on which the Statue of Liberty stands. I think we might also need to become much more familiar with a preceding line: “…From her beacon-hand…Glows world-wide welcome…”

Our country was founded on the premise that we are a “melting pot.” As a nation, we pride ourselves on embracing a world-leading culture of openness and acceptance. I am not here to argue race, religion, sexuality, or any other such divisive issue. I write this col-

That’s scary!

A

few years ago I was scared by a spider.

I was typing at my computer, and it was very late.

I think the clock had just hit midnight. The house was dark. The only lights on were in my bedroom, and in my computer room where I was working. I was typing along—thinking I really ought to go to bed—when movement caught my eye. I turned my head just in time to see this huge spider crest over the top of my desk just inches from my arm. I was not expecting a spider on my desk, and so close! A few more inches, and I probably would have been nailed!

I screamed!

That spider took off like a shot. I jumped out of my desk chair and went for the flyswatter. I’m glad I did not have upstairs neighbors at the time. I certainly scared the spider. At midnight, it is not cool to be on your knees digging around behind a desk trying to find a spider. That spider may have crested over the lip of my desk, but he sure moved fast.

I did not find him behind my desk, hiding. Instead, he climbed down the desk, down the storage container next to my desk that is filled with books, and out onto the floor heading towards my guest bed. I saw him, and, Smash! He was history.

I would say I feel sorry for the spider, but as bad as that thing scared me, I was glad he was dead.

Having found another (and equally huge) spider in my kitchen this afternoon, I got to thinking about spiders and Halloween.

Spiders and Halloween go hand-in-hand like ghosts, goblins and witches. I doubt

you could have Halloween without a spider decoration on your porch, especially if you are operating a haunted house or plan to decorate for trick-or-treat. A giant web might do the trick! I have seen dozens of decorative webs at Wal-mart and Dollar General over the years.

They are usually huge and made from plastic or cotton.

Naturally, they come with fake spiders! Then there are the spider goodies to make for that Halloween party you are planning, and the plastic, spider theme rings to hand out in school. Back in my day, it was very cool to receive a spider ring from your teacher at the class Halloween party. Now, the stores sell gummy spiders to eat! I’ve even seen stretchy spiders. I have not seen a fake spider you can actually move with air, but my Uncle Randy had one—before he scared my Grandmother with it, that is!

My Grandmother Clark is scared to death of two things: snakes and spiders.

My Uncle Randy—when he was about 10 years old— had a fake tarantula. He knew my grandmother was scared of spiders. Terrified is more the correct word.

One Halloween he got out his fake tarantula, placed it on the back of the couch next to my grandmother’s head, and made its legs move by squeezing air into it through a pump! As the story goes, my grandmother was scared.

She thought that spider was real, alive! She grabbed it off the couch and beat it to death before she realized it had never been alive to begin with. My Uncle Randy was not impressed, but neither was my grandmother. I do

believe Guest he got Column i n t o s o m e

BY HEIDI serious MOORE trouble over that mechanical spider.

If you are like me, you have watched at least one Halloween-themed spider movie. I got up the courage to watch a movie years ago called, “The Giant Spider Invasion.” These alien spiders come to Earth and begin to take over. Are they giant?

Not in your life. They are very tiny. If the leading actress had tried hard enough, she could have squashed all of them in about 10 minutes! In the end, I think she does get eaten by a giant spider, but, being a B-rated film, you can tell it’s a puppet!

Watching “The Giant Spider Invasion” on the “Mystery Science Theater 3,000” show was nothing.

It was fairly harmless. It was “Arachnophobia” that scared me. I didn’t make it through that one and was scared to death of spiders for weeks afterwards! Killer spiders. Who knew? Once I learned that the local spiders were more scared of me than I was of them, I got over that fear. Now, if they are in my house as unwanted guests, I simply squash them.

Whatever you are doing this Halloween enjoy your local spider. But, if you see a spider in your house, you have permission to squash him.

Now that’s scary!

4-H Geocaching Workshop explores Pere Marquette Pere Marquette State Park was the setting for the first 4-H Geocaching Workshop. This event was offered in cooperation with the US Army Corps of Engineers and Jersey County Extension.

Park Ranger Andrea Gregory, distributed handheld GPS units, or Global Positioning Systems, to each family who participated. Gregory explained how the units were guided by satellites and gave a brief background on their use in other areas.

Early that morning, Gregory hid 10 caches (film canisters filled with colored beads) around the lodge area and near the river. The families

were divided into smaller groups. One youth from each family operated a GPS unit. As each family located the hidden cache, they removed a bead from the canister to thread on a pipe cleaner. This was to verify they located the hidden cache. Then, they proceeded to attempt to find all 10 caches.

“There is no other carpet like Mohawk’s SmartStrand with DuPont Sorona,” says Jerrod Capps of Jerseyville Carpet & Furniture Galleries. “We’ve seen Mohawk

put this carpet through many challenges.

They even installed it in the cage of a Black Rhino at the Birmingham Zoo. After two weeks of abuse, I didn’t believe it would come clean, but it did and it looked like new.” “Today’s households are busy,” adds Capps. “People need a carpet they can depend on to be durable and stain resistant. I know that seeing is believing, so I’m holding a “License to Spill” / “Taste Of The Tri-County” event so consumers can experience Mohawk’s SmartStrand Sorona for themselves.”

Top 5 helpful renovation tips to create more space in your home

There’s an easier way to get the word out on your business.

File photo

As real estate prices continue to climb, the cost to trade up to a larger home is on the upswing across the country, especially as markets remain hampered by tight inventory levels. As a result, more and more Americans are choosing to renovate their current homes instead of relocating. In fact, some forecasts predict that 2015 renovation spending could exceed the record of $324 billion set during the peak of last decade's housing boom. While the hunt for more square footage can be challenging, homeowners shouldn't feel like a costly second story or complete addition are the only options.

Here are five great ways to create or optimize space in your existing home.

1. Finish an unfinished basement. A basement renovation can hold limitless potential and increase the resale value or income potential of your home.

Think about the possibilities: a home theater, office, spare bedroom, basement apartment or recreation room. The key to doing it successfully is to focus on what's behind the walls, especially since moisture is a common issue in basements. Choosing the right insulation is critical. Look for products that are vapor permeable, dimensionally stable and mold and moisture resistant. Many contractors use Roxul Comfortboard IS semi-rigid sheathing board paired with Comfortbatt batt insulation to combat thermal bridging and protect against mold and mildew growth.

An added benefit of this type of mineral wool insu-

lation is that it's also fireresistant to 2,150 F. For interior walls and ceilings, Safe 'n' Sound insulation is ideal because of its ability to absorb noise and indoor traffic sounds, ensuring your newfound space is a peaceful one.

2. Create a more openconcept feel with light and color. If your home wasn't blessed with towering windows, installing French doors and pot lights can encourage light to travel more freely, creating the illusion of space. Likewise, choosing a paint color for walls, trim and moldings that is lighter and cooler in tone (think soft grays or blues) will help to reflect light and give the room a more open feel.

3. Remove non-loadbearing walls. Homeowners have the opportunity to rethink the layout of their home by removing nonload-bearing walls. Removing structurally unnecessary walls can make your whole home feel larger,

improve flow, lighting and the function of your home.

4. Convert your garage into usable living or work space. For many homeowners, the garage becomes an overflow room for storage -- and is often a walkin headache. Convert your garage (or a portion of it) into another living space, guest bedroom or home office. Install carpet and quality thermal insulation such as Roxul Comfortbatt to block outdoor noise and keep in warmth.

5. Choose furniture and accessories carefully.

Adopt a minimalist's eye.

Begin looking around your home for furniture or accessories that overwhelm the space. Interior designers recommend choosing low-profile or smallscale furniture for rooms with less square footage.

Dual-purpose items, such as ottomans with storage chests inside, are a budget-friendly way to save on space while staying organized.

Jersey meets Highland in regional

by Kory Carpenter Jersey County Journal For the Jersey soccer team, an 11-3 record is not what it used to be.

At least in the 2015 Effingham Regional.

The Panthers were given the No. 4 seed in the regional after back-to-back losses at Highland and Waterloo, but had rattled off seven consecutive victories heading into Wednesday’s home matchup with Granite City.

“It’s amazing we were the No. 4 seed,” Jersey head coach Scott Burney said Wednesday. “When the seeding came out we were 11-3 and we were the fourth-best team in that regional, and probably so. It’s a really, really good regional.”

The Panthers open the regional against a familiar foe, No. 5 seed Highland, Wednesday at 4 p.m. in Effingham.

The teams split the regular season series, with each team winning on its home field.

The Bulldogs (6-15) have lost eight straight games ahead of Thursday’s match with Mascoutah.

Heading into Wednesday’s match and with a week of practice left, Burney is focusing on Wednesday.

“Highland does a pretty good job defending our long throw so we’ve put some things in to counteract that,” he said.

“We definitely want to make sure we don’t have any confusion on the defensive end because when you get into the postseason, one goal can beat you. When they get one goal and pack it in, it’s hard to score when you’re kicking the ball against 11 guys.”

Defensively, Burney has praised his midfield all season.

And when opponents have gotten scoring opportunities, goalkeeper Zac Ridenhour has stopped more chances than not.

Jersey had posted 13 shutouts heading into Wednesday’s regular season finale against Granite City.

“Zac Ridenhour has been good in goal

and he has been tested more lately than he was earlier in the season,” Burney said.

“He took our three losses hard on himself but they weren’t his fault at all.”

Burney also praised Jacobs Stephens, calling the senior reserve a “spark plug” off the bench.

Jake Ridenhour led the team with 24 goals going into Wednesday, and has gotten offensive help from Chace Tallman (11 goals) and Alex Goldacker (10 goals).

“And Jacob Witt is playing at a really high level right now,” Burney added.

“Overall I’ve been really pleased with everybody.”

If the Panthers repeat as regional champions, they will have earned it.

With 121 miles between Jerseyville and Effingham, a berth in the championship match next Saturday would translate to over eight hours spent on a bus.

It also makes scouting nearly impossible.

Quincy Notre Dame, the No. 1 seed and Jersey’s likely opponent in the champion-

ship, plays Tuesday afternoon.

“We won’t get a chance to see them Tuesday, so we’ll just take what knowledge we can gain from our friends and attack them the way we know how to attack,” Burney said. “They play a Waterloo-style of game, which we like our chances against because we play a totally different style.”

If Jersey can survive the regional, it will play the winner of the Jacksonville Regional the following week.

“I don’t think we’ll change anything, but I think there will be a little more pressure on the seniors because they know one mistake could cost them the rest of their playing career here at JCHS,” Burney said, insisting the coaching staff will try to keep the players as relaxed as possible as they enter the do-or-die world of the postseason.

“If we make sure we’re all on the same page and give our best effort every night, I think we can make a lot of noise in the postseason.”

Jersey celebrates homecoming in style n Panthers defeat Mascoutah for first victory of season

by Kory Carpenter Jersey County Journal Six weeks after the start of what many expected to be a rebuilding year, the Jersey football team was able to celebrate on a Friday night for the first time.

The Panthers defeated Mascoutah 35-24 and headed to the homecoming dance with smiles on their faces.

“It was good for the boys,” head football coach Dave Jacobs said Wednesday. “The look on their faces after the game with the students coming out and celebrating was a great feeling.”

Jersey had come close to victories a handful of times this season before youth reared its head.

Friday, the experience of six varsity games – as well as a handful of new plays added in during the week – helped turn things around.

Sophomore quarterback Drew Sauerwein scampered for an 18-yard touchdown early in the first quarter on a set that had not been used this season.

Sauerwein rushed for 120 yards on 28 attempts while completing eight of 16 passes.

The change in offensive philosophy was two-fold.

“He can play tailback, so we put in a few different sets and wrinkles for him,” Jacobs said. “And when you have a sophomore out there at quarterback, you don’t want to put the whole burden on him because he’s young. But his running ability is something we’ll be building on every week as well as the offseason.”

A young team was always going to be the plan for the Panthers in 2015.

Sophomores and juniors are scattered throughout the depth chart, and the possibility of the season being measured by experience – not wins – was always possible.

For at least one night, Jersey had both.

“It was good for everybody,” Jacobs said. “Not just the kids, but the coaches, the

community and the town.

We’ve had great support in all of our home games.”

He added, “The kids have hung in there all year and it was good for them to get a win on their homecoming. It always makes the dance a little more fun.”

Jersey will make its final road trip of the season Friday at Highland, a 6-1 team with the playoffs in its future.

The Panthers close out the season Oct. 23 at home against Mattoon, which might need to beat Jersey to reach to postseason.

The following week, the Jersey coaches will meet to discuss the season.

Plans to attend offseason coaching clinics will be made, and the transition from a young team looking for experience to a veteran roster playing for the postseason will begin in earnest.

“When you’re a junior or a sophomore, you don’t have that sense of finality because you know you have another year or two to

followed by the championship match at 3:30 p.m.

The eight-team tournament also includes Civic Memorial, East AltonWood River, Greenville and Carrollton.

For Jersey, Saturday’s tournament could be a tuneup for possible postseason matches.

The Panthers will be joined by Civic Memorial, Greenville and East AltonWood River in the Rochester Sub-Sectional later this month.

Jersey is expected to travel to Triad Tuesday before hosting Calhoun Wednesday and Civic Memorial Thursday to finish the regular season.

play,” Jacobs said. “They’ve received something this year that we can’t teach them, and that’s experience. They went

out and got it, so what they do with that this offseason is going to be huge.”

Jersey tennis finishes third in MVC

by Kory Carpenter Jersey County Journal The Jersey girls tennis team finished third in the Mississippi Valley Conference tournament Tuesday behind Triad and Mascoutah.

by Kory Carpenter Jersey County Journal The Jersey volleyball team will look to ends its two-game losing streak Saturday morning against Triopia in the opening match of the eighth annual Jersey varsity volleyball tournament.

Jersey and Triopia are joined in Pool A with Litchfield and Staunton.

After facing Triopia at 8:30 a.m., the Panthers (1013) face Staunton at 10:30 a.m. and Litchfield at 12:30 p.m.

The second-place teams from each pool will play in the third-place match at 2:30 p.m. in Jersey’s main gym,

The Panthers finished with 24 team points and were led by Ashton Tewell and Anne Snyders.

Tewell earned a No. 3 singles championship and teamed with Snyders to finish second in No. 1 doubles.

Snyder also finished second in No. 2 singles.

Hailea Tepen finished second in No. 4 singles, and the Panthers finished the regular season with a 6-9 record heading into the Alton Sectional Friday at 1 p.m.

by Kory Carpenter Jersey County Journal Madison Greeling led the way with 11 points and 10 kills, Hannah Blumstein recorded six blocks and the Southwestern volleyball team improved to 17-7-3 with a comeback victory over East Alton-Wood River Tuesday night.

The Oilers jumped out

with a 25-21 victory in the first set, but were unable to stop the Birds in the final two frames.

Greeling added 18 digs while Sam Burns picked up eight points.

Southwestern is scheduled to host Roxana Thursday and Hillsboro Wednesday before heading to Carlinville Oct. 27 for regional action.

Next up for construction crews is the demolition of the old Kentucky Fried Chicken building, which is located next to this site.

It’s hard for school board member Paul Rogers to talk about George Havens without getting a little teary-eyed.

Rogers, who was a former educator in the district, was good friends with the late Havens, a former coach at Jersey Community High School for nearly 25 years.

Wednesday, Rogers and other Jersey Community Unit 100 School District board members honored Havens by naming the new high school gymnasium after the former coach.

Journal NOTES

JCUSD scheduling parent/teacher conferences

The Parent-Teacher conferences will be held in Jersey Community School District No. 100 on Wednesday, Oct. 21, from 4 p.m. to 7:30 p.m., and Thursday Oct. 22, from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. There will be no school on Friday, Oct. 23. Parents have an opportunity to meet with

their child’s teacher or teachers during this time.

Parents are very important to a child’s success in school, and conferences can be used to discuss how the teacher, the parent, and the child can best work together to provide for the student’s educational progress. Teachers and principals in elementary schools are contacting each parent to schedule a conference time, assuring time for a complete and private meeting. Confirmation of

the arranged time will be sent home with each child prior to conferences. Any parent who has not scheduled a conference at an elementary school is urged to contact the local school.

Teachers at Illini Middle School and JCHS will be available during the above hours for conferences.

Girls on the Track helps pre-teens with self-image

By MARK PACE Jersey County Journal Girls on the Track began classes at the beginning of September to continue helping young girls in the area maintain a positive self-image.

The course is an extension of the popular national organization, Girls on the Run. “We want to incorporate activities into running while the girls go through some issues that girls deal with,” Jen Lyles, a spokesperson for the Jersey Community Hospital Wellness Center, said.“It really encourages girls to get to know girls from other schools and gets them to work together. I think the big thing is you don’t necessarily have to be an athlete to be a part of this. This is an outlet for those girls to be a part of and be able to socialize with other people and still get exercise.”

The Wellness Center is sponsoring the program in Jerseyville.

The goal of the organization is to teach young girls life lessons while staying active. Jerseyville is a part of the much larger group. Girls on the Run St. Louis is in over 200 schools across eastern Missouri and western Illinois. The national organization is in cities across the country.

While Girls on the Track is different in title from Girls on the Run, it is part of the same organization and has the same goal but for a different age.

“The goal of the program is the same. It’s a character building program that also incorporates running to help the girls build confidence and feel successful crossing a 5K finish line,” Lyles wrote in an

email to the Journal.

Girls on the Track is for 6th-8th grade girls. Girls on the Run, which will be held at the beginning of 2016, is for girls in 3rd-5th grades.

The classes meet twice a week for three months, and the girls train to run a 5K race Nov. 14 in St.

“We found when you have the smaller groups girls are more open and talk about things a little more.”

Jen Lyles Spokesperson for the Jersey Community Hospital Wellness Center Louis. The classes teach girls how to face selfesteem issues, bullying and fitting into groups.

Since the ages are different, topics are slightly dif-

ferent between Girls on the Run and Girls on the Track.

Girls on the Run St. Louis started in a Clayton, Mo. park with 20 girls in 2002. The event moved to the city to accommodate the growing numbers.

Jerseyville is usually able to take about 20 girls, Lyles said.

The group purposely keeps it from getting too large, Lyles said.

“We found when you have the smaller groups girls are more open and talk about things a little more,” she said.

At the end of each class, the girls train for the 5K, but it’s more than just running.

“The way they have it set up, your exercise part isn’t just ‘go run a mile,’” Lyles said. “They’re doing games and things as they’re moving, so it’s a little more exciting for the girls.

Superintendent reminds parents of School Bus Safety There is nothing more precious to a parent than their child. Each day, in communities across Illinois, parents entrust school bus drivers to deliver their children safely to school and back again.

Twenty-five million children in the United States ride to and from school on 440,000 school buses over 4.3 billion miles each year.

This month, parents and school districts have a chance to acknowledge the hard work of their school bus drivers on School Bus Driver Appreciation Day, while at the same time reminding students about safety during National School Bus Safety Week, according to Regional Superintendent of Schools Michelle Mueller.

For many parents, the school bus driver can be the most frequent point of contact with their child’s school. The two events provide an opportunity not only to thank local school bus drivers, but also to talk to children about school bus safety.

Mueller said National School Bus Safety Week is Oct. 19-23, while School Bus Driver Appreciation Day is Oct. 22.

The state’s 35 Regional Offices of Education and three Cook County Intermediate Service Centers are responsible for school bus driver training and background checks. This includes conducting the initial eighthour training required for all new school bus drivers prior to getting a bus permit.

Drivers must also complete an annual two-hour refresher course to be recertified each year.

“This is a great opportunity

Wilma Johnson Wilma Johnson, 66 of Pittsfield, passed away Tuesday, Oct. 13, 2015 at Memorial Medical Center in Springfield.

Wilma was born on Nov. 3, 1948 in Carlinville, a daughter of Woodrow Wilson and Maxine Conroy Hall.

She married Jake Johnson on May 3, 1968 in Island Falls, N.Y. Wilma graduated from Jerseyville High School.

She was a member of the Pittsfield Church of the Nazarene and former coowner and secretary of W.W. Sanitation. In her earlier years Wilma loved working with ceramics and entering them in contests where she won numerous awards. She loved reading, traveling, antiquing, crocheting and the St. Louis Cardinals. Wilma’s greatest love was her husband and daughter.

She is survived by her husband, Jake, and her daughter, Heather, both of Pittsfield; a brother, Gene (Janet) Hall of Jacksonville, Fla.; special nephew, Cory Hall of Troy; and numerous nieces and nephews.

Wilma was preceded in

to show our appreciation to school bus drivers,” Jeff Vose, president of the Illinois Association of Regional Superintendents of Schools (IARSS) said. “School bus driver training and background checks are just one of the services offered through Regional Offices of Education and Intermediate Service Centers. It would be hard to identify anyone who accepts more responsibility for the day-to-day safety and well-being of children than the school bus driver. Regional superintendents are proud to work in partnership with drivers, school districts, transportation companies and the State Board of Education to assure that children get to and from school safely.”

Mueller added that National School Bus Safety Week gives parents an opening to discuss safety. Parents can play a critical role in keeping their children safe by coaching them to use good safety practices when waiting for a bus and getting on or off the bus.

Buses are engineered to keep children as safe as possible, with strict structural strength standards and designs that protect children in the event of a crash or rollover. But that protection is only available inside the bus, and most accidents occur when children are entering or exiting.

Brighton woman pleads guilty to healthcare fraud

By BOB CROSSEN Jersey County Journal A 27-year-old Brighton woman pleaded guilty to a scheme to defraud a health care program during open court Oct. 13.

According to a press release from U.S. Attorney Stephen R. Wigginton, during her plea hearing, Jessica A. Teets admitted she submitted false and fraudulent bills to the Illinois Home Services Program claiming she performed personal assistant services.

The Illinois Home Services Program

is a Medicaid Waiver program allowing seniors the opportunity to remain in their home with a personal assistant rather than move to a nursing home.

According to the press release, “Teets admitted to falsley billing the program between Dec. 7, 2012 and June 30, 2014. … As a result, Teets improperly billed 11 hours of services and obtained $1,312.05 in payments for services not performed.”

Wigginton’s release also notes Teets admitted her customer was found July 1, 2014 by a friend “in an incoherent state and partially covered in dried

excrement.”

The customer was hospitallized for multiple days, and according to the press release, Teets had not performed personal assistant services for more than one week prior.

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Office of the Inspector General, Federal Bureau of Investigation, Illinois State Police, Medicaid Fraud Control Bureau and Wood River Police Department conducted the investigation.
