Investigation names board members in 2013 computer access incident By BOB CROSSEN Jersey County Journal Two Jersey County Board members entered and accessed the computer of the County Code Administrator last fall in search of reported pornography, prior to the administrator’s termination in November 2013, according to documents recently acquired by the Jersey County Journal. Emails and a legal analysis of the events leading up to the termination of the County Code Administrator Mike Prough were distributed to board members in a packet for this week’s county board meeting, and were given to the Jersey County Journal Oct. 10. The documentation was provided just less than a month away from the general election, Nov. 4, in which one

of the board members implicated, John Houseman, is running for re-election. Houseman questioned the timing of the documentation’s release and its accuracy, but chose not to elaborate on what may be inaccurate until he can review all the information. Board member Jeff Ferguson said the report has holes, noting the emails presented in the packet only paint one side of the picture as the packet does not include emails of other board members, nor emails in which he requested updates on the investigation. The information states on two separate occasions board members entered the code office after business hours to conduct a search. While Houseman and fellow board member Roger Newberry ultimately made discoveries that led to Prough’s dismissal, the two were also

By BOB CROSSEN Jersey County Journal Jersey County Board vice chairwoman Pam Heitzig received backlash for comments she made during a regular county board meeting Oct. 14. Heitzig's comments were about local members of the 9-12 group. Members of the public said they were insulted by her remark that “most 9-12 members did not grow up or go to school here in Jersey County,” and that “they don’t participate in community activities or volunteer their time to the community.” (Her statement was also submitted as a letter to the editor and can be found on page A4.) Kim Hardin, Hardin Financial, said she has lived in Jersey County for 25 years and has actively served in community endeavors during that time. She felt demeaned and insulted by Heitzig’s statement. “I feel that we have been upstanding members of the community,” Hardin said of herself and husband, Paul. “Neither of us grew up here. Neither of us went to school here, but I don’t feel that makes us any less entitled to come forward when we see issues going on in our county that we don’t like. We pay our taxes here just like anybody else.”

Members of the public were not the only ones who took offense to Heitzig’s statement. Board member Rhonda Linders said none of the Democrat members of the county board have attended a 9-12 meeting. “You just insulted, not just members of this board, but a lot of people sitting out in this audience,” Linders said. “None of you have ever been to a 9-12 meeting because you’re too good for that, or whatever the case may be. … I don’t insult you because you’re a Democrat. I couldn’t care less what party you’re with.” Ron Henerfouth, former board member seeking re-election in November, said he, too, took umbrage with Heitzig’s comments about the 9-12 group because they were spoken from a position of ignorance. “They way you defined 9-12 people is the total opposite of what they really are. 9-12 people are patriotic Americans who love their country,” Henerfouth said. “I was offended by your remarks because I’m a patriotic American who attends the 9-12 meetings.” He said disagreement is important in the democratic process, as it is what creates a system of checks and balances. Without that safeguard, the whole system could be corrupted, he added. (See, commentS, A2)

Comedian Mark Sweeney entertains a crowd Thursday, Oct. 9 at State Street Bar and Grill in Jerseyville. Sweeney was the first headliner in what will be a series of comedy acts coming to the restaurant.

Comedy night opens with a full house Thursday night’s show. “We don’t want to overcrowd the building, we want to make sure everyone is comfortable,” he said. “We actually had to turn some people away. They said ‘Well, can we buy tickets for the next one?’” Social media was also abuzz with State Street’s comedy show, according to Iverson. He said the business’ Facebook page garnered several more likes between the show and the next day, as well as receiving many comments about how much fun the audience had. “We were so happy with the way things went,” Iverson said. “Luckily, everything went off great.” The audience, according to the State Street owner, was a mixed crowd in terms of age. He said there were some as young as their early 20s, but most audience mem-

By ROBERT LYONS Jersey County Journal The county board isn’t the only punchline in town anymore. State Street Bar and Grill hosted its first ever comedy night Thursday, with headlining comedian Mark Sweeney putting on a set in front of a sold-out crowd. State Street owner Todd Iverson said the show was the first of many more to come. “We had a lot of positive comments,” Iverson said. “I’ve booked the comedians through the end of the year. We’re going to see how it goes. If [Thursday] night was any indication, I think we’re definitely going to continue to do comedy.” Iverson said though State Street is a spacious venue, seating for the comedy shows is limited 100. All 100 tickets were sold for

bers were probably between 30 and 60. “It was a nice, diverse crowd,” Iverson said. The show also drew a mix of local and non-local viewers. Iverson said probably half of the spectators were first-time State Street customers, and many of them were from out of town. Drawing business from nearby communities was a goal Iverson had for his business right out of the gate. Bringing in a comedy show and other unique entertainment is one way he is making that happen. “I want to bring the big town to the little town, you know, bring some exciting things,” Iverson said. “I don’t want to take from local businesses, but if I can draw people from Alton, Godfrey and other areas, that’s what we’re trying to accomplish.” (See, comedy, A2)

By ROBERT LYONS Jersey County Journal After 109 years in Jerseyville, the local Elks Lodge closed its doors. An executive order from the grand exalted ruler revoked the local charter for the fraternal and social club Sept. 4. According to James McQuillan, past national president and current spokesman for the Elks, several factors went into the decision to revoke the charter. The organization maintains a statute book with the laws of the Order of Elks, by which each local lodge must adhere. “They have not had a full slate of officers for a number of years, they have not been conducting meetings as they’re supposed to conduct and they have not maintained a sound financial condition,” McQuillan said, noting all three aspects are required by Elks law. He said each lodge is required to have seven officers and hold meetings twice each

month. The state Elks sponsor, F. Louis Sulsberger, monitored the situation in Jerseyville,

“The thing that was probably the most rewarding to me, personally, was the delivery of the Christmas baskets. I’d say, at the height of glory we probably gave out 250 Christmas baskets, which contained hams, turkeys and various items to help get people through the Christmas season.”

John Hefner Former member and a special representative was appointed in 2013 to help counsel the local lodge. “Apparently, that didn’t seem to help, and they got to the point where it did not appear there was going to be any compliance,” McQuillan said. “That resulted in the sponsor, Mr. Sulsberger, recommending to M

However, 48-year member of the Jerseyville Elks John Hefner said he won’t likely be going to a new club. “I just wouldn’t be much of a contributor to another community,” Hefner said. “I’ll find some other way to help financially with some of our other community functions.” Hefner said he’s disappointed the interest level waned in the local lodge to the point it necessitated its closure. “I understand it’s a sign of the times. Younger people are busy and don’t have the time to contribute or participate in club activities like they did years ago,” he said. “There are just too many other things going on.” The building and contents of the Jerseyville lodge already have a sales contract in place, McQuillan said. However, he also said there could still be a future for the Elks Lodge in Jerseyville. When a lodge’s (See, elkS, A2)

No confidence (Continued from A1) brought up at the meeting because an Illinois County Insurance Trust attorney claimed the timing was inappropriate. “However, in light of some of the material that has been let loose by Mr. Goetten’s office, I feel that it’s important to bring this up again,” Houseman said. The main points in the resolution revolve around a lack of transparency from Goetten in his position as an elected official and his actions relating to the termination of Mike Prough who at the time was the county code administrator. In an email statement Oct. 15, Goetten said he has worked diligently to avoid potential litigation for the county in spite of board members’ actions. “We are currently in a position where the county has not been sued due to this incident, and the employee these five members sought to have terminated has, in fact, been terminated,” Goetten wrote in a statement. “I will continue to work hard for the citizens of Jersey County with the hopes that we can move past the petty political antics and get some real work done for the county.” The resolution of no confidence states Goetten failed to investigate or take action against an employee who attempted to destroy public property, and that he “inserted himself into an administrative inquiry as to the conduct of the Jersey County administrator.” The administrative inquiry referenced in the resolution pertains to county board members searching the administrator’s computer beyond business hours after reports that pornography were found on the device. The board did not approve for board members to conduct such an investigation. Upon hearing about the administrative investigation, the resolution states Goetten placed a call to Prough’s legal

counsel explaining such an investigation was ongoing. Reading from the resolution, Houseman said Goetten also “failed to secure the computer that was involved in an administrative inquiry despite being asked by two county board members to do so.” He said the computer remained unsecured from Oct. 3 through Oct. 8, during which time it could have been accessed by any party. Although Goetten claimed an Illinois State Police officer examined the computer Oct. 7, the resolution notes there was no report or findings provided after the examination was concluded. Also mentioned is Goetten’s refusal to consider a request from two county board members that the investigation be turned over to an independent investigator. Goetten sent a letter Oct. 23, 2013 to the Office of the Attorney General requesting that office review the facts to determine if criminal liability exists. The letter was returned Nov. 5 when the AG suggested ISP handle the case. Goetten said he contacted ISP, which claimed it was short-staffed and could not take on the case. Goetten said the request was made by phone and there is no written documentation of this exchange. The case was then turned over to Calhoun County State’s Attorney Richard J. Ringhausen and interviews were conducted by Special Investigator Frank Scoggins, who is employed with the Jersey County State’s Attorney’s office. The resolution also mentions that Chairman Jerry Wittman, Vice Chairwoman Pam Heitzig and Goetten all opened the results of a forensic computer audit on the administrator’s computer without the authorization of the full board and also without the full board present.

Investigation (Continued from A1) Ringhausen’s statement of facts indicates more than one attempt was made to enter Prough’s computer, twice by board members after business hours. The first attempt, according to Ringhausen’s statement, was made Sept. 12, 2013 by Houseman and Ferguson, along with an employee of Grafton Technology Inc., GTI. “The office was closed, and no staff member of the code office was present. The office was locked,” Ringhausen wrote in the statement. “The members of the county board have keys to the administrative building and the county board office, but do not individually have keys to any of the other offices.” The board members then used a key from a closet in the county board office to access the code administrator’s office and instructed the GTI employee to access the computer. On Oct. 3, Houseman and Newberry entered the office after hours, once again accompanied by a GTI employee, Ringhausen states. The GTI employee was instructed to access the computer, at which point photographs of topless women and a search history including visits to Playboy’s website were found on the code administrator’s computer, according to both Ringhausen’s investigation and a GTI service order signed by Newberry and Houseman. Newberry confirmed that he entered the code administrator’s office, but said the report insinuates that he touched the computer, an action he said he did not commit. “I did not tamper with the computer at all,” Newberry said in regards to the suggestion of computer tampering. Susan Hamilton, owner of Grafton Technologies Incorporated, said she followed protocol throughout the process and only allowed those with authorization access to computers owned by the county. The request to review the contents of the computer was made by a board member authorized to do so, she said. “Everything we do with the board is done like that. That is a common practice with them,” Hamilton said. “The fact that it was at night did not seem out of the ordinary being that I knew the content of the call, but it wasn’t my decision since [the business authorization form] was approved by Jerry Wittman.” Prough contacted the sheriff’s office a week later alleging criminal wrongdoing. An incident report dated Oct. 9, 2013 states Prough made a complaint of criminal trespass to state supported property. However, Prough was suspended Oct. 8, 2013 and was released from his contract Nov. 25, 2013 with 60 days notice. Part of Ringhausen’s investigation, which was included in the FOIA response and board member information packet, was several email exchanges between Ferguson and Diane Frain, an employee with Human Resource Design, which is contracted for human resources consultation by Illinois County Insurance Trust. ICIT provides insurance services for the county. Emails between Ferguson, Goetten and Houseman were also present, all relating to searches conducted by board members on the county code

administrator’s computer and allegations surrounding those searches. Frain, in the emails, supported Ferguson, Newberry and Houseman throughout the ordeal. In an email Oct. 21, 2013 to Frain, Ferguson mentions there was an effort to circumvent the administration committee, adding he had concerns that the code enforcement officer’s attorney “will know the results of this before the admin committee.” Ferguson wrote to Frain that Goetten and Laef Lorton, the code enforcement officer’s attorney, are “very close personal friends.” Frain wrote to both Ferguson and Houseman that she was concerned a FOIA request had been submitted for results of an investigation which had not yet become a matter of public record. “It appears this is becoming a totally political issue regardless of what’s right for the county,” Frain wrote in an email to Ferguson and Houseman. “I believe Ben [Goetten] and Jerry [Wittman] are irritated that I have focused on the right and wrong of the employee’s action and have not supported them on the ‘search and seizure’ front nor the other antics associated with this.” Ferguson, Newberry and Houseman are Republicans, while Goetten and Wittman are both Democrats. In an email Nov. 20, 2013 to Frain, Ferguson asked about finding a certified public accountant to investigate the code enforcement officer’s finances after hearing he allegedly purchased a $45,000 engagement ring. “I figure they [Wittman and Goetten] have to somehow give him a means to justify being able to make such a ludicrous purchase without a job,” Ferguson wrote in the email conversation. “We buy him out of his last year of the contract, and he can say he used his severance to buy the ring and no one’s suspicious anymore… We seriously need someone digging deep into our books because something just isn’t right.” “Seriously??,” Frain responded. “He ‘begged’ Ben & Jerry (the ice cream boys) for the county to pay for one year of insurance and that would be the ‘severance’ amount for releasing the county. … I keep feeling like I’m Alice in Wonderland and I’ve fallen down the rabbit hole.” Frain alleged Goetten set Lorton up with a case against the county. In January, Goetten filed an injunction against the entire county board to forbid members from talking about or discussing anything regarding a leaked Illinois County Insurance Trust (ICIT) letter detailing issues in the code administrator’s office. An ICIT loss run summary report accompanying the information provided to the Journal indicates Houseman filed a claim to be paid $20,000 for legal fees for defense of that temporary injunction, meaning he sought to have the county pay for his legal defense. The distribution of the documents comes on the heels of an investigation into a difference in resolutions governing the compensation of county board members authorizing the board chairman to receive an additional $110 per month. In that investigation, Ferguson made claims regarding Wittman’s compensation for services to the county.

Mammoth on display at Principia By BoB Crossen Jersey County Journal More than a decade after its initial discovery, a mammoth found on the campus of Principia College has a permanent installation at the school’s science center. Janis Treworgy, Prinicipia professor of earth sciences, said a partial tooth of the mammoth was found in 1999 on the college campus while excavations were being made for a manhole. It was not until 2002 that the college began a general education course focused on digging up the rest of the mammoth and preserving it to be used as an educational installation on campus. “We kept finding more and more material. We pretty much concluded that he died right there and we had most of the material. Most of the bones we were able to find,” Treworgy said. Treworgy has been a professor in the geology department since 2000 and she became the director of the mammoth excavation project when it began in 2002. After the initial tooth discovery, she said excavators quickly found tusks leading to other bones. The excavation site was closed in 2012 after a scan of the earth revealed no more to be discovered. The mammoth bones were found buried only six feet deep, which Treworgy said suggests the mammoth was covered by windblown silt. “It’s an unusual discovery to have it preserved as well as it is,” Treworgy said. “It meant he died at the surface so he had to be buried very quickly. We think it may have been wind storms that blew that fine silt up from the river plane.” The entire project was marginally student-led, Treworgy said. Each school term, students would enroll in a general education class that included excavation of the mammoth. She would train them with the skills necessary to dig up the bones and to clean them in the lab. The bigger bones found were relatively better preserved than the smaller ones, she said. When students got to the ribs and vertebrae, she said students had to be more careful when removing

the bones from the ground. Treworgy said the class has been valuable for students because it has given them a hands-on approach to the scientific method and taught them skills they may have otherwise never learned. “You piece together what you can. You try to figure out how he died. You look at what evidence the bones and the arrangement of the bones are giving us,” Treworgy said. “We’ve dated the sediment and its position in the sediment.” Students also had to learn the past progress of the project to understand the next step toward reaching the ultimate goal. That goal has finally been realized as the bones have been put on display in the atrium of Principia’s science center. Treworgy said the

Elks

(Continued from A1) charter is revoked, three members of that lodge are named as trustees and are given the responsibility of paying the bills and liquidating any property. Then they become safe keepers of any excess money, after all debts are settled. “The funds are held in a trust, they don’t go to the Grand Lodge,” McQuillan said. “Any time within five years, there can be a reinstatement of the lodge. If they were able to get between 25 and 50 men and women to have an interest in doing that, then the funds that came from the liquidation of the property would be available to them to institute a new lodge.” If after five years the lodge has not be reinstated, the funds in the trust are then administered by the Grand Lodge. McQuillan said he hopes the people of Jerseyville will form an effort to reinstate the Elks. “We hate to lose a lodge because of the good things the Elks do in their communities,” he said. The Jerseyville Elks sponsored a student of the month from Jersey

schools, held veterans programs, sponsored an annual Hoop Shoot to raise money for scholarships, as well as coordinating several other charitable efforts throughout the area. “The thing that was probably the most rewarding to me, personally, was the delivery of the Christmas baskets,” Hefner said. “I’d say, at the height of glory we probably gave out 250 Christmas baskets, which contained hams, turkeys and various items to help get people through the Christmas season.” Nationwide, the Elks has experienced a drop in membership over the past three decades, McQuillan said. In 1980, at the height of Elks membership, there were 1.6 million members and that has been nearly cut in half by 2014 to 825,000. However, in Jerseyville, he noted, it was not nearly as drastic a decline. In March 1980, he said, Jerseyville Elks had 330 members, compared to 223 in 2014. The Jerseyville Elks Lodge, No. 954, was established March 25, 1905.

college is still working with the contractor on signage for the display which will also have a mural and a flatscreen television slideshow of footage from the excavation, cleaning and display-building processes.

City approves purchase of new scoreboard for JPRD By roBerT Lyons Jersey County Journal The city of Jerseyville approved a five-year agreement with Pepsi Tuesday night. In exchange for the Parks and Recreation Department serving only beverages produced by PepsiCo., the city will receive a reduced rate on products, as well as some kickbacks. One of those kickbacks, however, will not be a new scoreboard for the Susnig Center. The board approved a $3,100 purchase from Greenville company Nevco to replace the 34-year-old scoreboard at the rec center’s basketball court. The old scoreboard was purchased in February of 1980. “It’s been working well since then, but the last few seasons, right around November when we start up girls basketball games, it gives us some wiring issues and some shorts,” JPRD Director Angela Sullivan said. The new scoreboard will fit in the space occupied by the existing scoreboard and can utilize the protective metal protector over the current scoreboard. Commissioner Glen Ketchum said he spoke with Deanna Bridgewater at Jersey Community High School, who said both the scoreboards and marquee at JCHS were built by Nevco. The rec center’s current scoreboard is also a Nevco product.

Commissioner Billy Russell asked if as part of the agreement with Pepsi, the beverage company would pay for a new scoreboard. Sullivan said the company will provide no monetary incentives, but will donate a mini-fridge for the concession stand at city park for employees to use, in addition to giving donations of soda that will be used for the Library’s Halloween festivities Oct. 25. The agreement also suggested the city also buy its snacks from FritoLay, a division of PepsiCo. But, Sullivan said that is not a requirement. “They understand I won’t be purchasing all my chips and nacho cheese through them,” she said. In other business Tuesday, the council approved a public hearing for Dec. 9 at 5 p.m. regarding the implementation of a second tax increment finance (TIF) district within the city.

Craft fair on tap for weekend at JCHS JPRD Boys Basketball By RoBeRt Lyons Jersey County Journal Whether it’s getting a start to holiday shopping or filling the home with hand-made merchandise, this weekend’s Jersey Community High School Craft Fair may be just the place to get it done. “It’s a wonderful time to go shopping with your wife, see what she likes and then sneak back Sunday and buy the Christmas gifts she might want,” Cathie Ward, volunteer coordinator, said. “Usually my husband will stop by while I’m working and I’ll point out something I really like, and then I’ll turn my back and give him time to buy me something. Sometimes he gets the hint, sometimes he doesn’t.” This year’s craft fair will feature many of the same vendors as previous years, with a few changes. Ward said a California woman who sells her Christmas ornaments and wood items every two to three years at the fair will be in for this year’s show. There is also a new vendor to the fair. “She makes soaps from goats’ milk,” Ward said. “It’s supposed to be really good for people who have a tendency to get poison ivy or poison oak.” In total, Ward said there are approximately 60 vendors committed to attend this weekend’s fair. She said picking one out the most popular offerings would be difficult, as there are just so many different types of items. Products range from Civil War doll clothes and sports team blankets to flowers and jewelry. “We really center themes on homemade crafts,” Ward said. “But, there are a few vendors that come in with things that there is no competition for their items, like seasonings and soup mixes.” Though the items brought to the show often change based on trends and popularity, this year the fair is more balanced, according to Ward. “Some years it’s been candles, other years it’s been wooden items. For a while it was jewelry,” she said. “But, this year it’s been a good mix of everything. I’m really looking forward to it.” In addition to a vendor out front

Registration fee is $30 per child and includes a game shirt. Most games will be played at the Susnig Center, located at 401 Mound Street, on nights and weekends. The league’s success depends on parents as volunteer coaches. Both residents and non-residents of the city are welcome to participate in the league.

who sells fresh popped caramel corn, the wrestling team will also have food for sale. The JCHS Craft Fair has been held annually on the third weekend of October for more than a decade. Many of the vendors who attend the fair work a craft circuit, so any deviation from that date could be detrimental to the success of the event, Ward said. “Some of them are at a craft show every weekend, starting in probably late August or early September,” she said. For the past several years, the high school has also been host to a volleyball tournament the third Saturday of the month. So, there will be many Panthers fans browsing the wares at the craft fair. The tournament includes teams and fans from Litchfield, Carrollton, East Alton-Wood River, Greenville and Madison, which means shoppers from those areas, too. “I try to let all of our vendors know that our mascot is the

Panthers and our colors are blue and white, and that there will be lots of young ladies shopping,” Ward said. “We have two vendors who make homemade purses, and they’re really cute.” The craft fair benefits the Panthers wrestling program, usually bringing in around $3,000 for the team. Wrestling coach Allen Snyder said the craft fair is very important for his program. “We’re trying to save enough money to buy a new mat, which is about $8,000,” he said. “We also go to some overnight tournaments, and we use that money for hotels for the kids and to feed them.” The Jersey wrestlers don’t just reap rewards from the craft fair. Members of the team show up the night before to help vendors unload and set up. They stay all day Saturday during the event and then come back Sunday to tear down and get the crafters loaded back up. “That’s a big draw for the craft-

ers, because they’re always a wonderful bunch of kids to work with,” Ward said. “We have a really good reputation for our setup and tear down teams. I have one lady who that’s the only reason she comes, because she knows we have such good help.” The wrestlers, Ward said, are extremely careful with the goods they are transporting, and when the vendors see that they are more trusting with the boys. “The boys are really good about walking in with them very gingerly and putting them down very gently. Then they lumber off like they normally walk, like a teenager,” Ward said. It’s kind of cute to watch the whole scenario play out.” Snyder said he’s happy to put his team to work for the event. He also said he is grateful to all the vendors and patrons of the craft fair. The JCHS Craft Fair begins 9 a.m. Saturday and 11 a.m. Sunday, and concludes at 4 p.m. both days.

It’s October, surprise! The Issue: Political division grows larger as election nears. Our View: Election won’t solve all this controversy.

Publisher and Editor: Julie Boren

publisher@campbellpublications.net

couple weeks ago, it was the big stink raised over a pay resolution regarding the compensation of the Jersey County Board chairman. Now the odor of the controversy surrounding the dismissal of a former county code administrator is once again wafting through air. One thing is clear; no one on either side of the political aisle involved with this mess will come out smelling like a rose.

There’s a difference between healthy dissension and a refusal to work together. This county board has become downright dysfunctional. Things are being done, but it appears on so many issues decisions are made solely on opposing the other party’s stance. Party line politics have guided the board on all major issues since the current administration came to office in 2012, and in some instances even earlier. There have been numerous 7-to-5 votes determine the fate of county business – with the Democrats controlling the majority – over the past two years. All the while there has been bickering among the board members that amount to nothing short of personal attacks. Conspiracy theories and witch hunts have been presented to the public at a consistent rate. Republicans have attempted to unseat or discredit several county officials, including other board members; the responses from the Democrats have been less than professional on several occasions. But, Election Day is right around three weeks away and the controversy surrounding the county board is elevating to new heights. The advertisements, letters to the editor and speeches given by and about board members are trying to convince voters that so many of the troubles can be corrected by voting for one candidate over another. But, the level of the division has grown to a point where decision-making based entirely on the best interest of the county is unlikely. Out of everyone in the race to be on the county board, there are only three new names – two Democrats and one Republican – in the mix. The eight others are either running for re-election or seeking to get back on the board after sitting out for a term. Even if the three who would be new to the board, or the other three were not present while the tension has reached its peak, were elected some of the most controversial figures on the board will remain for at least two more years. Still, repairing the image, reputation and functionality of our county board has to begin somewhere. And we agree that Nov. 4 is the best place for residents with a stake in Jersey County’s future to start.

YOUR VIEWS Urges vote for Danielle Snider TO THE EDITOR: I write this letter to endorse Danielle Snider for the position of Jersey County Treasurer. I served as your treasurer for 24 years, and I know what it takes to oversee the county’s finances and to serve the people. Times are changing, and status quo is no longer sufficient. In today’s world of technology, people expect more, and I believe Danielle Snider is the candidate who will best serve the county going forward. Danielle and her husband, as well as their respective families, are lifelong residents of Jersey County. They support the county and are very active in this community. With Danielle’s financial background and customer service experience, as well as her involvement in the community, I believe Danielle is the best candidate for the position. I will be supporting her in November and ask my family and friends to do the same. ROgER “TuFFy” gOETTEn Fieldon, Ill.

County board needs to find middle ground again TO THE EDITOR: Near the end of his term as president, George Washington urged avoidance in the forming of political parties. Washington apparently believed that parties would lead to less action in the public interest, and instead concentrate attention to narrow special interests. There is a human trait to organize for a task at hand, be it Neanderthals bringing down a mastodon, or citizens organizing for a cause. People naturally gravitate to other like or nearly likeminded people in the pursuit of a defined common purpose. In Jersey County government, Democrats and Republicans have served together in elected and appointed office. Despite strong political beliefs, partisan labels rarely got in the way of supporting a good idea or the appointment of a capable individual. In June of this year however, this apparently changed with the solid opposition of the five Republican members of the county board in the appointment of a former member of the county board, Larry Keller, to the Jersey County Housing Board. Whether the issue of Larry Keller being a Democrat got in the way, or the fact that Larry Keller is sometimes outspoken, the fact remains that a concerted effort to oppose a willing and qualified appointee was present with no explanation, only a vote of NO. Mr. Keller has served his church and community, and as a member of the county board, he was very effective in overseeing the jail renovation project a few years ago. Putting his experience with an architectural firm to good use, Larry Keller is widely credited in county government in saving approximately $150,000 from the total budget of the jail project, and leaving a sound and secure project completed as a result. Apparently his experience was what was sought in the requested appointment to the housing authority board. Now, the housing board is a public body with no wide ranging authority, prestige, and no pay for members. It is tasked with overseeing a housing program for people in need of that particular service. So instead of a 12-0 vote with a thank you for serving, Larry Keller, a mildly opinionated Democrat, gets a narrower 7-5 party line split confirmation vote. There are differences of opinion in public affairs and sometimes, when compromises can’t be reached, a

healthy divided vote is justified. But an appointment to a moderately obscure board of oversight that makes an annual report to the county board that most board members can’t recall five minutes after hearing it, one has to wonder if everything has to be political. Does every matter, every appointment, every comment require outrage expressed at the drop of a hat? Is there any middle ground left for reasonable people to occupy for the benefit of making local government work? Once upon a time there was, and I believe there can be again if individuals committed to working toward YES find their way into positions where the public interest can be served, not side-tracked. That is why I am running for Jersey County Board. I ask for your vote on Nov. 4 to help make the county board a functioning public body again, and place people above politics. DOnALD R. LITTLE Candidate for Jersey County Board / District 4 Brighton, Ill.

Remembers a time when Democrats and Republicans worked together TO THE EDITOR: The accusations made by members of the 9-12 Party are getting more ridiculous with each new charge. Since the beginning of county government, good Republicans and good Democrats have worked together for the good of the county. They often disagreed on how things should be done but they talked, they listened, they compromised and they worked together and they got things done. There was no name calling, no temper tantrums, no attempt to demean each other. Since the day the 9-12 members came on the board everything changed and everything that any Democrat has done has been labeled wrong. They charge that everyone is conspiring to do something evil. They use words like complicit, and fraud, cronyism, favoritism, coverups, lies, and exposing the truth, and on and on. They would like the good people of Jersey County to believe that the current Democratic county board members are made up of thieves, liars, conspirators, and very evil people. It would just be ridiculous if it wasn’t so mean-spirited and hateful. The attempts to demean us and to ruin our good name have crossed the line and are no less than defamation of character. The Democrat members of this board are people who are involved in the community. We volunteer at many charitable organizations, serve on many community boards, volunteer our time, and have agreed to serve on this board in order to help make sure that Jersey County continues to be the wonderful place that we, our families and our friends want it to be. Most of the 9-12 members did not grow up or go to school here in Jersey County. They don’t participate in community activities or volunteer their time to the community. Two years ago as the chairman I was the target of their attacks. While I have lived my life with integrity and honesty, I had to endure negative attacks and be subjected to the attempt to ruin my good name. This year as chairman, Mr. Wittman is the target. The charge that Mr. Wittman is making more money than he is entitled to is ridiculous. I would like to point something out to you. The 9-12 Party is very good at keeping track of who is making how much money. Maybe it’s time to keep track of who is is doing the work of the county instead. The 9-12 members of the board show up for maybe two hours each month at a board meeting. That is the sole

Sports: Dan Brannan contribution they make to improve Jersey County, and for that they are paid $154 for an average of $77 an hour. Anything they do between meetings is not for the betterment of the community , but is an attempt to spread nasty rumors, criticize and complain. Mr. Wittman puts in easily over 25 hours a week, so for a month that is over 100 hours. His hourly rate comes out to between $4-$5 an hour. He is certainly not getting rich and not even making minimum wage for a job that has tremendous responsibility and stress. So yes, some people are being overpaid, but it isn’t Mr. Wittman. I can guarantee you that Mr. Wittman has earned every penny that the county has ever paid him. Each month many of the Democrat members of the board come to the board office and assist with various projects including developing the budget and levy for the county. For this they are paid nothing. They save the county thousands of dollars by not having to hire it out. The 9-12 committee chairmen have held countless meetings where the sole purpose was to accuse and criticize someone. What a waste of taxpayer money! I would say that all of the 9-12 conspiracy stories were strictly political because they are political, but they go beyond that. They are an attempt to demean people, to make someone look dishonest, and to embarrass others. The philosophy of the 9-12 party is to disrupt, disrupt, disrupt. And as you have seen over the last four years, that is all they do. They offer nothing positive for the citizens of Jersey County. The matter of the board pay resolution was not a conspiracy. There was no evil behind-the-scenes deal. It was as Mr. LIttle explained, simply a human error. Mr. LIttle had several versions of the resolution on his computer and he forwarded the wrong one. Humans do make errors, at least the humans I know do. Maybe 9-12 people are above human errors, but for the rest of us they happen. When the Republican county clerk made a mistake in filing Eric Pistorius’ petition, the Democrats did not yell “conspiracy” and “fraud.” It was simply an honest mistake. Many Democrats crossed over and took a Republican ballot to write Eric’s name in in order to correct the problem. If we all conspired in May of 2012, how come we are just now taking advantage of that conspiracy? Why did we wait two years? That makes no sense. If there was a mistake, rather than attempt to embarrass someone, why not call the party involved and have a civil conversation and try to work it out? That is not the 9-12 way. Instead they try to make a big deal out of something and throw crap at the wall to see what sticks. That is what has been done for four years. Crap is thrown at the wall and the truth never gets in the way. It is hoped that some people who don’t know what to believe will believe it. Most people know better. Most people look at it and know that we are good people who care about Jersey County and dismiss it as ridiculous. Some don’t know what to think and are confused by all of the innuendo. I would like to end by saying I know these Democrat members of the board. Each one is above reproach and has the highest moral character. None deserve to have their name dragged through the mud. Anyone who knows them knows this to be true. It’s time for the 9-12 members to start behaving with some class and stop the negative antics. Most good Republicans are embarrassed that these 9-12 members call themselves Republicans when they do not represent good Republicans. I would be happy to go back to a Republican and Democrat board and work together to solve problems. PAM HEITZIg Jerseyville, Ill. (Letters continued on A5)

JERSEY COUNTY JOURNAL

Jerseyville, Illinois

LETTERS (CONTINUED FROM A4) Provides sites to research CSFST TO THE EDITOR: Dear Jersey 100 community, I hope this communication finds you well. Its purpose is to provide you with vital information necessary to make an educated decision about the County School Facility Sales Tax (CSFST) that will appear on the Nov. 4 ballot. I strongly urge you to do your own research so you have a solid understanding of the sales tax and how it can help your community. School districts across the state of Illinois are experiencing financial challenges. Jersey 100 is no different. With a significant spending deficit largely due to a 27 percent loss of state revenue and 11 percent of federal, a three-year budget deficit plan was presented at the January Board of Education meeting that included a resolution for 3.2 million in working cash to balance the budget. Included in this plan was a 1.4 million decrease in expenditures. In March a resolution for a Reduction in Force occurred affecting 12 staff members. Another 12 retired, which resulted in a loss of 24 staff members for the 2014-2015 school year. Class sizes are large due to the loss of personnel and program cuts. While the 1.4 million decrease in expenditures has occurred and can be seen in the 2014-2015 budget, many challenges remain. The third phase of Illini’s Health/Life/Safety project is scheduled for the summer of 2015. This is a state-mandated project that must be completed. Should the CSFST receive the majority of the Jersey County voter population, such improvements could be made without burdening you – the property owner. The work would be funded by all consumers: Those who fill up their tanks or stop by to grab a soda: one cent for every dollar spent… With CSFST, all necessary Jersey 100 facility improvements could be completed without burdening property owners: asbestos abatement throughout and fencing removal in front of West Elementary; replacement of West Elementary doors/windows; resolution of water issues at Illini and West Elementary; updated security systems in all buildings; roofing repairs; replacement of worn carpeting throughout district facilities with commercial grade flooring; continued maintenance to parking lots and playgrounds; replacement of baseball bleachers and improvements to the all-weather track at the sports complex and JCHS. With CSFST, ALL consumers, those who visit Jersey County for Jersey 100 activities and entertainment and those who purchase retail items (excluding autos, groceries, medicine [prescriptions and over the counter drugs], farm equipment and inputs, and anything else that isn’t currently taxed) will help participate in funding school facility needs instead of the burden being the property owners’ responsibility. With CSFST, the district would not have to levy for Health/Life/Safety, which generally generates approximately $150,000. With CSFST, the district’s Debt Service levy would be lowered each year that a percentage of sales tax revenue is applied toward debt. It is also important to know that NO salaries, education resources, transportation costs, operational expenditures are paid through this fund. CSFST can ONLY be used for school facility purposes. This Thursday, I am making a recommendation to the Board of Education that 45 percent of CSFST revenue be used to pay towards debt. Based on current data, the district could receive approximately $1,098,000 in revenue for facility improvements if Jersey County voters approve the CSFST. Approximately $500,000 would be used toward debt abatement if approved by the Board of Education. With this allocation, property owners could see a $ .16 reduction in tax rate for education. I appreciate the many county stakeholders who have contacted me, requesting information on the CSFST. I only ask those of you who are unsure about the CSFST to do your research. The following sites provide information that can help you in making a decision on Nov. 4. Always feel free to contact me. http://tax.illinois.gov/localgovernment/overview/ howdisbursed/ptax-1002-8-c.pdf https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BLN9yacb4dE Thank you for taking time out to read this. I appreciate having the opportunity to serve the entire Jersey 100 community. LORI FRANKE-HOPKINS Jersey CUSD No. 100 Superintendent

Supports yes vote on County School Facility Sales Tax TO THE EDITOR: Dear Macoupin and Jersey County residents, I would like to take a moment and share with you why I am 100 percent supportive of the County School Facility Sales Tax Proposal that will be on the ballot on Tuesday, Nov. 4. I am a transplant to Illinois’ rural community from the suburbs of St. Louis County. I feel blessed when sharing with others my experiences of living in rural

Illinois and how I learned the true meaning of “community.” Communities in our area bond together to help each other out during challenging situations and build each other up whenever possible. This November when we head to the polls, we will have the opportunity to support the County School Facility Tax Proposal. As a parent of two graduates of Southwestern High School and a step-parent of two graduates of Jerseyville High School, I am fully onboard to support, promote and protect the future of these school districts. This proposal sets forth a one cent sales tax on items like fast food, gasoline, clothing and entertainment items such as televisions. Each of the items I just listed, we purchase and utilize every year. When we purchase these items in Macoupin and/or Jersey County, we are a part of building and sustaining the future of Southwestern School District and Jersey Community School District. Exempted items are unprepared foods (groceries), prescription and over-the-counter medicines, vehicles (cars, trucks, ATVs, boats, RVs and motor homes), farm equipment (including parts and farm inputs). Services are not included with this tax and anything that is not currently being taxed will not be taxed. An individual may feel as if their purchase(s) may not seem to help the cause, but as a community each individual’s purchase(s) collectively will make a huge difference in the educational opportunities for the students. We must think of ourselves as part of the “whole” rather than an “individual.” We then can take pride in being a part of the solution to the challenge. I am sure many of you have heard the saying “knowledge is power.” Between now and Nov. 4, please take the opportunity to learn about the county school facility sales tax and how you can help increase the level and environment of education in our communities. The proposal outlines the revenue created from the one cent sales tax and how it will be used solely to improve the school facilities and decrease/retire new or current building bonds. The proposal is specific in that the revenue cannot be used toward salaries, operating costs and instructional materials such as books. This proposal is set up to build the infrastructure of our learning institutions. With upgraded and updated classrooms, the students will have greater opportunities and increased learnings that are currently not available. In a world that sometimes seem uncertain, improving the learning environment for the students will give them a sense of stability, security and ownership of their future. In conjunction with the benefits of the one cent sales tax, the Southwestern Community Unit School District School Board approved (during the September School Board Meeting) the County School Facility Sales Tax Potential Revenue Resolution that outlines to lower/ abate property taxes if the one cent sales tax proposal is passed. With the passing of the one cent sales tax, the Southwestern School District will lower/abate property taxes by $150,000 on the December 2014 Property Tax Levy. This is a 12 cent drop per residence of the 2014 Tax Levy scheduled to be collected during the 20152016 school year. For example, for a home valued at $200,000, the property tax will decrease $80. This amount will be outlined on the July 2015 property tax statements. To me this is a simple win-win when the one cent sales tax proposal is passed in November. I will be able to say I am helping to strengthen the infrastructures of these two school districts and as a Macoupin County resident my property taxes will decrease, as well. I challenge everyone to become as knowledgeable as possible about this proposal and share your learnings with others to ensure a positive outcome at the polls on Tuesday, Nov. 4, 2014. Let’s stand strong as a community and be part of the solution to build the educational opportunities for future generations. LESLIE M. MANULA Medora, Ill.

Things to know before you vote TO THE EDITOR: In Mr. Ferguson’s letter to the Shopper, he would have you believe that he is pure as the driven snow. He and “only” he has the best interest of everyone at heart. If you believe that, I have a bridge in Arizona to sell you! Ever since he and his cohorts got on this board, it has been a circus. He spends all of his time trying to discredit fellow board members. He wants you to believe that we are all getting rich at the county’s expense. Not true. Time spent for money earned does not work out. Now Mr. Ferguson is getting richer than most. You see, he is probably making close to $100 per hour compared to $3 for the board chair. When you only show up for the regular meeting or an occasional committee meeting, you earn more than if you have to be there every day. Having to be there every day to deal with problems does not get extra pay, only aggravation. I am so tired of the innuendo and mud slinging. I took this job because I felt that at some point we all need to

give back to the community. I try to do the best I can with the information I have at the time. I think that is all anyone can do. When there are individuals whose only goal in life is to further their own agenda, really don’t care about working with the rest of the board, it makes it very difficult. Lack of trust in these individuals makes for a very disruptive existence. Mr. Ferguson loves to write letters. It never enter his mind that he may be wrong or that he has cast doubt on someone’s reputation without good cause. Ethics do not enter into his thinking, it is all to boost his ego. We were all elected to represent our districts. Mr. Ferguson and Mr. Houseman both feel they were crowned to be in charge. During my time on the board, Jerry and Pam have served this county well and devoted time and energy to do the right thing. Doing the right thing for the sake of doing the right thing, no matter what the consequences. Mr. Ferguson and Mr. Houseman have used their position to invade and spy on county employees. Breaking into offices after hours and getting on computers they had no business on. Then Mr. Houseman decided to charge the county insurance for his attorney fees to the tune of $20,000! Who is taking advantage of who? Mr. Ferguson likes to use words like complicit and corruption. Yet, he did not go to the proper authorities and use processes that were in place to do the job. He felt he and Mr. Houseman and Mr. Newberry knew better and could take the law into their own hands and do whatever they desired. We have no idea how many offices were entered or computers accessed. My philosophy has always been to trust everyone until I am shown that I cannot. The 9/12ers on the board have shown me they cannot be trusted. In deciding not to run for re-election, I approached a lot of people to run for this position. The people I talked to were not just Democrats, but good Republicans with common sense who I felt would put the county needs first. Everyone turned me down, because they did not want to deal with the environment these people have brought to the county. I applaud Wayne Schell for taking it on. DONNA MOORE Jersey County Board Dist. 1 Medora, Ill.

Says Citizenship and Renewal Day should be Good Friday TO THE EDITOR: The county government offices were closed the Friday before Easter. However, they chose not to honor it as Good Friday. It was called Citizenship and Renewal Day. The judge refuses to do anything about it. Apparently, it was declared Citizenship and Renewal Day by the late Judge Thomas Russell. Judge Russell made the change because he was aware of a case in the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals which encompasses Illinois, Indiana and Wisconsin stating that the holiday be changed from Good Friday to something more secular and that not doing so would be a violation of the First Amendment and Separation of Church and State. All this in One Nation Under God. The First Amendment states that Congress cannot make a law that imposes religion on the people and that Congress cannot prohibit the free exercise of religion. The Friday before Easter should be called Good Friday. We are not imposing our religious beliefs on people by having our offices closed on Good Friday or any Christian holiday. Separation of Church and State was created to keep Congress from creating a state religion. This issue is an example of how far we have gotten away from the Christian principles that our country was founded upon. Good Friday is the day that our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ died on the cross for the sins of all humanity. Our government offices should be closed in honor of that day, no citizenship and renewal day. I don’t see how a judge who claims to be a Christian can go along with a man-made law. The apostle Paul said in the book of Romans that God’s law is higher than man’s law, and Jesus said in the Gospel of Matthew that if you refuse to acknowledge him (Jesus) before men. He will not acknowledge you before his Father in Heaven. Please call the county offices at 498-5571 and follow the prompts to the judge’s office and ask him to change the holiday back to Good Friday. ROGER NEWBERRY Jerseyville, Ill.

Says facilities tax is fairest way to solve lack of funding by state TO THE EDITOR: Over the past several years, I have read and heard witness to both sides of a story that disturbed me quite so. Being a staunch conservative myself, I try to look at both sides of a story before I take my stance. Unfortunately, this war is taken place over education. I’ve seen one side constantly blasting our schools for the way they administer funds, and for the dayto-day operations. I believe that the school boards try

to reach the best possible decision at any given time. I was told by the people who are in opposition how they would do it. If it were to be done in that fashion, state mandates wouldn’t be met. Thus our schools would not be accredited and our young adults would not be accepted into college. The paramount thing that neither side has addressed is, “What is best for the students.” We have a huge problem with the lack of funding. Primarily due to the lack of the state not holding up their end of the price tag of education. To everyone involved let us not forget what once Victor Hugo said, “He who opens a school door closes a prison.” I was taught in my childhood by my parents and reinforced in school, that in those certain situations where you have a problem, you must first define the problem and then find solutions. The problem is lack of funding and entirely being placed on one class. I feel the facilities tax is the fairest way to solve the problem. With the facilities tax everyone contributes a share to our schools. The funds can only be used to pay down bonds and for brick and mortar. It cannot be used for teachers’ salaries or for the educational fund or transportation. It would help out immensely for the maintenance of buildings. Even our newer schools have started showing general effects of the aging process, and soon they will be in need of repair. Let us not forget what one great conservative President Lincoln said, “A house divided stands alone.” We need to act promptly with good judgment and work together. To help build our young peoples minds; so, in turn we can attract businesses to build our local communities. Vote Yes for the 1 cent facilities tax. This is what’s best for the students and our communities. DAN SCHETTER Brighton, Ill.

Master Gardener training being offered The Calhoun, Cass, Greene, Morgan, Scott and the Christian, Jersey, Macoupin, Montgomery county extension units will be offering a joint Master Gardener training this winter. Classes will be held in Jacksonville as well as Jerseyville on Tuesdays from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. starting Jan. 27, 2015 and run for 10 weeks. There is a $175 registration fee to participate in the training; this includes the Master Gardener manual. An informational meeting will be held on Oct. 23 from 6 to 7 p.m. at the Morgan County Extension Office (104 N. Westgate Ave.) in Jacksonville. Master Gardeners participate in more than 60 hours of training taught by U of I specialists and Extension educators. Topics include flower and vegetable gardening, insects, plant diseases, soils and fertilizers, and integrated pest management to name a few.

Upon completion of training, a person becomes a Master Gardener Intern and must contribute 60 hours of volunteer service within a two-year time period to become an active Master Gardener. To maintain active Master Gardener status, volunteers must obtain a minimum of 10 hours of continuing education and volunteer 30 hours of community service per year at a recognized Master Gardener project. Master Gardeners educate the public on a wide variety of topics such as improving landscapes, choosing plant varieties, water saving tips for gardens, proper pest identification and management, how to grow their own produce, optimum mulching strategies, and composting. Volunteer opportunities include but are not limited to answering telephone or email questions about gardening; staffing plant clinics or farmers markets; speaking to local

organizations; establishing demonstration or community gardens; conducting programs with youth, the elderly or the disabled, or writing newspaper articles. Master Gardeners are adults of all ages who love gardening and who have previous gardening experience. The program is open to any adult with an interest in plants and a desire to share that with others. You can become a Master Gardener if you have some knowledge or experience in gardening or landscape management (you need not be an expert), you are willing to learn and share horticulture information with others, you are accepted into the training program, and you can volunteer time conducting horticultural educational programming coordinated through the local Extension unit.

Emerald Ash Borer getting closer Emerald Ash Borer (EAB) has been confirmed in 14 new counties in Illinois. Five of those counties are outside of the current quarantine zone, which has been set up to prevent the spread of the beetle. It is likely that the quarantine boundaries will be expanded in November to include these new counties once all traps have been evaluated. Of the five new counties confirmed with EAB, three of them are in the area: Logan, Menard and Sangamon counties. In Logan County, the ash borer was found on North St. in Atlanta. In Menard, it was discovered at Deerpath Lane and Oakland Ave. in Petersburg. In Sangamon County, the trap was located in an ash tree on Reynolds St. near Douglas Park. EAB has not yet been found in Calhoun, Cass, Greene, Morgan or Scott counties. In counties that are quarantined it is prohibited to remove: The emerald ash borer in any living stage of development Ash trees of any size Ash limbs and branches Any cut, non-coniferous firewood. Bark from ash trees and wood chips larger than one inch from ash trees. Ash logs and lumber with either the bark or the outer one-inch of sapwood, or both, attached. Any item made from or containing the wood of the ash tree that is capable of spreading the emerald ash

borer Any other article, product or means of conveyance determined by the Illinois Department of Agriculture to present a risk of spreading the beetle infestation. EAB is an invasive insect native to Asia that has killed more than 250 million ash trees. It was first found in the Detroit, Michigan area in 2002 and in Illinois in 2006. EAB attacks and kills healthy ash trees. All ashes in the genus Fraxinus, are attacked. This includes green, white, blue and black ash. EAB adults are 1/3 to ½ inch long and elongate, with metallic emerald wing covers and a bronze body. Larvae of the beetle will burrow into the bark of ash trees causing the trees to starve and eventually die. Trees infested with EAB will often have thinning and yellowing leaves, and D-shaped hole in the bark of the trunk or branches and basal shoots. If the bark of an infested tree is removed there will often times be winding tunnels created by the larvae. Several pesticides are available that are effective in controlling EAB. However, it is not recommended to treat ash trees until EAB has been detected within 10-15 miles of your location. If you decide to treat trees it is important to remember that they must be treated every year in order to prevent EAB infestations of those trees. If you suspect that you have an infested ash tree contact the Morgan County Extension office at (217) 243-7424, or the Illinois Department of Agriculture at (217) 785-5575.

Haunted Cruises on the Mississippi

Bob Crossen/Jersey County Journal

FRESH WHEELS Pat Norris poses Wednesday with a new Youth Honda 4x4 and motorcycle along with a transport trailer she won as part of McKay NAPA Auto Parts fundraiser. Tickets for the fundraiser were sold over six months and her ticket was pulled by a Make-A-Wish child Oct. 9 at McKay NAPA's 9th annual Tool and Equipment Show in Staunton. She said she is excited to see her grandchildren ride around on the vehicles.

The end has begun at area haunted attraction Come Closer Productions has partnered with the YWCA of Alton to bring thrills and chills back to downtown Alton for a new haunting season with the presentation of the Apocalypse: Safe Haven. This year, the YWCA on 304 E. 3rd St., has become one of the last refuges for survivors of the apocalypse, but even as you take shelter, you discover that things are not as they seem. Can you survive the Apocalypse: Save Haven? Join us and the other survivors to face the monsters and the undead lurking in the Safe Haven…if you dare. This indoor haunted attraction is open from 7:30 p.m until midnight Friday and Saturday nights through November. Tickets are $15 plus tax at the door for ages 13 and over, children $13 plus tax. Credit cards accepted. The Apocalypse is recommended for visitors 12 and up. The haunt takes approximately 30 minutes for our victims, we mean, visitors to complete, that is... when they survive. Fearless hours: light’s on, trick or treat events for families with children under 12 are 4:30 p.m. until 6:30 p.m. every Saturday through November 1. For more information regarding special events, hours and to purchase tickets, visit www.apocalypsehaunt.com Stay tuned for more information regarding the FX: Creepy Science Workshop on Oct. 25, at 1 p.m. “The haunted attraction is an interesting example of collaboration between the YWCA, a non-profit organization, and the private enterprise of Come Closer Productions, to offer a new tourism opportunity for Alton,”

Andrea Lamer, director of the YWCA, said. “We are also excited about the great turnout this year, Come Closer Productions puts on an amazing show, their volunteer actors are terrifying and the haunt is a fun way for us to raise money for our afterschool programs without overburdening the community,” Lamer said. “About 85 percent of our visitors are from outside Alton, mostly St. Louis, some as far away as Wentzville. We know that when people come out of the haunt, they are ready for some refreshments and more adventures. We feel that the haunt could have the potential to contribute to the growing tourist industry during the haunting season,” Come Closer Productions CEO Tommy Riddle said. For those who taste for scares go beyond the haunted attraction, St. Louis Paranormal Research Society will be hosting midnight tours on Oct. 25 to search for the historic ghosts of the YWCA behind the scenes of the haunted attraction. Are there really ghosts at the YWCA? We’ll let you decide for yourself as you get a behind the scenes tour and time to do your own investigation with ghost hunting equipment courtesy of STLPRS. For more information and to register, visit www. Facebook.com/STLPRS. All attractions are for entertainment purposes only, and proceeds from ticket sales will benefit YWCA after school programs in the Metro East. No one under the influence of alcohol or drugs will be permitted to enter the building.

THE BIGGEST MALL

Governor Quinn announces major investments in conservation and Illinois state parks Governor Pat Quinn announced Oct. 4 the acquisition of a 51-acre parcel of land adjacent to Starved Rock State Park that will provide additional wildlife space and serve as a buffer to protect the park. The Governor also announced wildlife habitat land acquisition in Edgar, Woodford and Jackson Counties and improvement projects at state parks operated by the Illinois Department of Natural Resources (IDNR). Today’s announcement is part of Governor Quinn’s agenda to protect our natural areas and expand outdoor activities for the people of Illinois. “Starved Rock State Park is one of our most beautiful natural areas, and this property acquisition will protect the land we have while increasing the space available for state park users to enjoy,” Governor Quinn said. “In addition, the investments in central, eastern and southern Illinois will greatly expand wildlife habitat in these regions and ensure that generations to come will be able to enjoy Illinois’ great outdoors.” The recently acquired property at Starved Rock State Park is 51.47 acres with steep bluffs and ravines located adjacent to a dedicated nature preserve. The property formerly included a campground area, but most of the campsite facilities were removed prior to acquisition. The property was purchased from a private estate for the appraised value of $900,000 using Open Land Trust funds. In addition to providing additional recreational activities at Starved Rock, this site will provide protection against incompatible future development. Governor Quinn also announced today that IDNR has acquired 121 acres from Pheasants Forever to expand public hunting opportunities in Edgar County. The new parcel is contiguous to the northern boundary of the 87-acre Willow Creek State Habitat Area near Paris. The acquisition more than doubles the hunting acreage available at the site. The property will be managed for pheasant hunting, other wildlife species and additional recreational activities. IDNR purchased the land using $300,000 from Open Land Trust Funds and $22,000 from the State Pheasant Fund. “Strong partnerships, like the one we enjoy with Pheasants Forever, allow the IDNR to better carry out its mission of improving

outdoor recreational opportunities,” IDNR Director Marc Miller said. “Groups like Pheasants Forever can move quickly when land becomes available. By doing so, they play a key role in efforts to expand habitat and hunting opportunities to meet a growing need.” IDNR is acquiring Jenkins Marsh, a 242-acre parcel of land adjacent to the Woodford County State Conservation Area in Woodford County. IDNR currently owns 5,425 acres at this location in Woodford, Tazewell and Peoria counties. The new acquisition will expand the Woodford State Fish and Wildlife Area and provide additional space for hunting and recreational opportunities. IDNR will work with USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service and Ducks Unlimited to develop a wetland restoration and management plan. IDNR will close on the land by the end of the year, using $885,000 from the Open Land Trust Funds. Governor Quinn also noted that IDNR and CONSOL Mining Company LLC, a subsidiary of CONSOL Energy, Inc., have announced a contract to purchase 4,400 acres of contiguous wildlife habitat. The property, known as Burning Star Mine #5, is located seven miles north of Carbondale. The parcel is bordered by U.S. 51 on the west and Illinois 149 on the south. Completion of this transaction is subject to a number of customary conditions, and accordingly, a closing date for the sale has not yet been set.

Open enrollment for 4-H through December What is 4-H? Are you a young person between the ages of 5 and 18? Do you have a hobby? Do you like learning new things? The new 4-H year began in September and 4-H has dozens of opportunities that kids should not pass up! 4-H is a fun-filled youth development program that allows youth to learn and compete in a variety of project areas. Some think that 4-H is just farming and livestock, but it’s more than agriculture. 4-H is a youth development program that offers projects in electricity, woodworking, computers, visual arts, communications, nature, leadership and much, much more. With 4-H projects, the sky is the limit. 4-H is all about keeping the community’s agricultural roots while expanding horizons into the 21st century. Research proves that 4-H members have higher educational achievement and higher motivation for future education and are more likely to pursue future careers in science, engineering and technology. Young people in 4-H are nearly two times more likely to get better grades in school; nearly two times more likely to plan to go to college; 41 percent less likely to engage in risky behaviors and 25 percent more

likely to positively contribute to their families and communities. Three words that could describe the 4-H program: Youth-Adult-Partnerships. Most people have no idea what these three words are or what they can do for your community. One of the goals of the 4-H program is to create more of these partnerships, which join

youth and adults in equal decisionmaking roles and positions. Join 4-H and find out how you can create these partnerships in your neighborhood.

Cover Crop Field Day program Oct. 28 By the time fall harvest gets really serious with recent wet weather abounding, many farmers and landowners may still want to schedule part of their day on Tuesday, Oct. 28 to attend the University of Illinois Extension Cover Crop Field Day at the Schetter Farm south of Brighton on Rt 111 / Rt 267. Cover crops are becoming an often mentioned tool in developing water quality and soil improving practices in the Midwest. Strategies to hold plant nutrients in place, reduce soil erosion, address out-flow of nitrogen and phosphates into nearby water bodies and ultimately protecting our great river systems are being looked at closely and in association with hypoxia (low or no oxygen conditions) in the Gulf of Mexico. Farmland and row crop operations are a highly visible and identifiable target for imposing nutrient loss methods and standards through regulation. A pro-active approach to educating members of your farm operation can begin by attending this field day. Demonstrations on cover crop establishment, specie selection, plant characteristics to match your cover crop needs, and integrated

cover crop management benefits will be shared. If you would like some help addressing these challenges, plan on attending the 2014 Cover Crop Field Day Program on Oct. 28 at the Schetter Farm site about 1 1/2 miles south of Brighton on the west side of Rt 111 / Rt 267. The program will start at 10 a.m. and will conclude around 2 p.m. Lunch will be available around noon. The starting time allows for the opportunity to have lots of questions addressed and a walking tour of the cover crop plots. Extension educator, Gary Letterly – energy and environmental stewardship, will host this informative and interactive program. Extension has partnered with the Schetter family and the National Wildlife Federation to host this program. To help provide adequate handout materials, please contact the Jerseyville office at 618-498-2913 (or call the Taylorville office at 217-2877246) if you plan to attend. The program is free and open to the general public. For more information call the Jerseyville office.

Illinois American Water reminds customers to protect pipes now in preparation for winter weather Winter weather can pose many challenges to a homeowner. One of the biggest and most costly is frozen pipes. Illinois American Water reminds homeowners to make preparations now to prevent water damage from frozen pipes. Illinois American Water’s Vice President of Operations Barry Suits said, “This last winter was one of the coldest on record in Illinois. It serves as a reminder for completing important cold weather preparation. A few simple steps taken this fall can help prevent costly repairs this winter.” Illinois American Water offers these tips to help customers prepare before cold weather: n Search your house for un-insulated pipes, especially in unheated areas. Consider wrapping pipes with electric heating tape, but follow manufacturers’ instructions carefully to avoid a fire hazard. n Know what areas are vulnerable to freezing, including basements, crawl spaces, unheated rooms and outside walls. n Eliminate sources of cold air near water lines by repairing broken windows, insulating walls, closing off crawl spaces and eliminating drafts near doors. Seal cracks and holes in outside walls and foundations, especially where cable TV or phone lines enter the house, with caulking to keep cold winds away from pipes. n Check sprinkler or irrigation systems. Turn everything off and fully drain the system. Also make

certain the water to your hose bibs is shut off inside your house (via a turnoff valve), and that the lines are disconnected and drained. n For outside meters, keep the lid to the meter pit closed tightly and let any snow that falls cover it. Snow acts as insulation so don’t disturb it. n Drain and shut off entirely the water to any unoccupied residence. A loss of power during a winter storm could cause pipes to freeze. If you intend to leave a property entirely without heat, be sure to drain all water. n Set the thermostat at 55 degrees if you’re going out of town. This setting is considered to be safe for pipes. “Frozen pipes can leave customers without water in the worst of weather. Running a trickle of water during freezing temps can help prevent damage,” said Suits. He offered these tips for when temperatures fall below zero: n Allow a small trickle of water from both your cold and hot water faucets to run overnight to keep pipes from freezing. The cost of the extra water is low compared to the cost to repair a broken pipe. Customers should also consider a wise water use practice and collect the running water for later use. n Open cabinet doors to expose pipes to warmer room temperatures. If pipes freeze customers should: n Make sure everyone in their home know where the main water shut-off valve is and how to turn

it off and on. If a pipe freezes or bursts, the water should be shut off immediately. Don’t attempt to thaw frozen pipes unless the water is shut off. Freezing can often cause unseen cracks in pipes or joints that will leak when thawed. n Apply heat to frozen pipe by warming the air around it or applying heat directly to the pipe. You can use a hair dryer, space heater or hot water. Be sure to not leave space heaters unattended and avoid the use of kerosene heaters or open flames. n Once the pipes have thawed, turn the water back on slowly and check for cracks and leaks.

BILL FAWELL

FOR U.S. CONGRESS: LIBERTARIAN PARTY “The People Must Rule The Government”

Every Problem in America Today Is Because The Government Rules The People.

TAKE AMERICA BACK!

Here are 4 Senate Bills before Congress today that will change that dynamic back to the Rule of the People over the government, overnight; its effect, sweeping. SB 209: Investigate the FED since 2010 (HR 24) (starts to End the FED) Known as: WRITE THE LAWS ACT SB 1663: Congress Must Write All Laws (no more agency law as is today) SB 1664: Only ONE (1) Issue Per Bill (no more omnibus bills) SB 1665: Bill Must Be Read On Floor Before Any Vote (no more 1000 page bills) Neither of my opponents will talk to me about these 4 bills, and neither support all 4 bills required to restore all the powers of Congress. If elected, I will co-sponsor HR 24, and SPONSOR SB 1663, 1664, 1665 that are not currently sponsored in the House. These 4 Bills I call Liberty Legislation. WE AMERICANS MUST CHANGE THE SYSTEM WHEN WE VOTE WRITE-IN BILL FAWELL for U.S. CONGRESS 17TH DISTRICT Read more at www.electfawell.com paid for by Elect Fawell

Lia Roundcount delivers a forceful spike in a recent Jersey volleyball match. The girls host an annual round robin tourney all day Saturday at Jersey Community High School.

Jersey girls host annual volleyball round robin tourney on Saturday STAFF REPORT Jersey County Journal Jersey hosts its Jersey Varsity Volleyball Round Robin Tourney Saturday at the high school. Eight teams will participate in two pools. Jersey is in a pool with Staunton, Triopia and Madison. The other pool contains Green-

ville, Litchfield, East Alton-Wood River and Carrollton. Action gets under way in the two gyms at 8:30 a.m. and will continue through the day. Bob Siemer, the Jersey volleyball coach, said the tourney is “pretty evenly matched.” He said he hopes to see his girls get on track as the season winds

down. Tuesday, Jersey plays at Triad; Wednesday at Calhoun; and Thursday at Civic Memorial before the regional starts. Highland defeated the Lady Panthers 25-6 and 25-7 on Tuesday at Highland. The Lady Panthers enter the tourney on Saturday with an 11-11 record.

Panthers soccer team to meet Marquette Catholic in regional on Tuesday By DAN BRANNAN Jersey County Journal The Panthers soccer team will be preparing diligently the rest of this week for a regional semifinal match against Marquette Catholic on Tuesday. Jersey plays Marquette at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday at Gordon Moore Park in Alton. Panthers’ soccer coach Scott Burney likes his team’s chances

in the upcoming post-season play. “We like our chances in our regional,” he said. “We have a very solid team and know we can play with all the teams in the regional.” This week, he said he planned to tend to his team’s injuries and stick to the normal practice routine. Triad defeated Jersey’s soccer team 3-0 in the final regular season match last Thursday at home. “We held Triad scoreless

through the first half, then we had a couple things break down and that enabled them to get a few good looks at goal and they didn’t miss with those opportunities.” If Jersey wins Tuesday it will play in the regional championship at 4 p.m. Friday at Gordon Moore Park. The winner of the Marquette Regional plays in the sectional semifinals on Tuesday, Oct. 28, at Chatham.

Our kids always give their heart and soul and play to win.“ Jersey scored seven points in the opening quarter, but Triad rebounded with 13 in the second quarter, while Jersey scored six points. In the third, Jersey scored another seven points, then six in

the fourth. Triad had seven points in the final quarter for the 26-20 final. Brandon Baalman scored

Zach Droege hits a putt during a Jersey golf match earlier in the season. Droege qualified for sectional individually. He is only a junior and will return for another high school year in 2015.

Droege qualifies for sectional, rebounding in final 10 holes of regional tourney By DAN BRANNAN Jersey County Journal Zach Droege finished his season on Tuesday with the sectional golf meet and as a junior, his future looks promising for the Panthers. The Jersey golfer posted a score of 79 in the regional. Droege posted a 102 on a dismal weather day on Tuesday and didn’t qualify for state, although that will most certainly be a goal for him as a senior. “I qualified for sectional last year and I wanted to do it again this year,” Droege said. “My goal now for next year is to move on to state.” At the regional, Droege played one of his best rounds of the season and picked up on the last nine

“I qualified for sectional last year and I wanted to do it again this year.”

Zach Droege Jersey golfer holes of 18 holes overall. “I wasn’t hitting the ball well in the beginning at the regional, but I finished one over par for the last 10 holes and did a lot better. I got into a groove. I slowed myself down and did a lot better. I stopped thinking about so many things.” For the future, Droege hopes

to keep playing golf. He wants to become a civil engineer someday and study at Southern Illinois University Edwardsville. He is a straight-A student at Jersey Community High School. “I take the academics part of school very seriously,” he said. “I am ranked No. 1 in the junior class with seven people. I spend a lot of time on homework.” Jersey golf coach Bryan Brown said he was very proud of Droege for qualifying out of the regional. “He really works hard,” Brown added. “He is committed and dedicated to the game. He didn’t let any bad shots get to him in the regional. He is getting an understanding and maturity that will really help him if he wants to play in college.”

Landon optimistic of Panthers’ chances in MVC cross country championship meet Jersey coach Harold Landon is optimistic of his team’s chances Thursday for the Mississippi Valley Conference cross country championship at Principia College. “It should be a very close meet,”

Landon said of the afternoon meet. “We could finish anywhere from first to fourth in the boys team race, so we will just have to see.” Jersey’s cross country boys and girls will run in regional competition

on Saturday, Oct. 25. In action last Saturday at East Alton-Wood River, Kelby Kincade ran a time of 24:46.4 for 16th place. Robyn Johnson was ninth in 23:52.4 in the girls race.

Since the founding of our nation, the role of newspapers in our democracy has been crystal clear. We have been, and will continue to be, the eyes and ears of the American people. After all, the right of free speech is meaningless if no one knows what’s really going on. That’s why more than 100 million Americans depend on their hometown newspapers daily and why today’s newsrooms are staffed with dedicated, highly trained reporters and experienced editors who bring you the very best journalism found anywhere, in print and online.
