Grafton Winery expands to Otter Creek vineyard

By BOB CROSSEN Jersey County Journal

W

hat started out as a desire to expand to a location with better wine production opportunities was realized with a more complex vision.

The Grafton Winery expanded its business to include a large building overlooking a manmade lake with a string of grapevines in the background. For business owners Mike and Lori Nikonovich, providing vistas for visitors was an organic part of the development process.

As the couple and contractors planned how to use the land neighboring Eckert’s Orchard, the beauty of the countryside became more and more apparent.

“Lori and I live out in the country and we appreciate it, and it was just such a pretty setting,” Mike Nikonovich said. “We brought out an independent wedding planner we had dealt with in the past. She came out and looked it over. … She said, ‘Perfect.’ In fact, the next day she got

ahold of us and booked her sister’s wedding out there.”

The 11,000 square foot expansion – with another 5,000 square foot pavilion – was built on the success of its Grafton location on Main Street where outdoor seating overlooks the river.

Wineries, Nikonovich said, are becoming more and more popular, particularly as destinations for wedding receptions or other large gatherings. Catering to that market, he said the vineyard location has already met the challenge, holding an event for 800 people in its first weekend open.

And last Thursday during its ribbon cutting ceremony, it was not hard to find somebody praising the beauty of the building and its view.

Dennis and Elizabeth Chandler of Edwardsville frequent the Grafton Winery location in the riverfront town. As fans of the business’ wine, Dennis said the new location is a perfect change of scenery.

“We actually came out here as it was being built. It’s awesome. It’s phenomenal,” Dennis Chandler said.

“It’s definitely going to be a boost to the economy. Look how many more people it’s going to attract from

Police officers block off part of Spanky Road as a regional SWAT team executes a search warrant on the property Wednesday for alleged illegal weapons. State’s Attorney Ben Goetten, left, was on the scene with other law enforcement officers.

Search warrant proves fruitful Mark PACE Jersey County Journal The Jersey County Sheriff’s Department seized weapons and have a man in custody after conducting search warrant on a property on Spanky Road in Jersey County near the Jersey and Greene county border Wednesday morning.

The search was done in coordination with the Illinois Law Enforcement Alarm System regional SWAT team, which included representatives from Jersey, Macoupin and Greene counties.

The warrant was conducted due to allegations the residence contained a stolen firearm and numerous automatic

and/or semi-automatic weapons, State’s Attorney Ben Goetten said in a statement Wednesday.

A convoy of around one dozen SWAT and police vehicles joined undercover agents already surrounding the property to conduct the search warrant for illegal weapons.

Grafton council still divided

TOP STORIES ONLINE

By MARk PACE Jersey County Journal Grafton City Council members addressed the divide among council members during a special meeting last Thursday night.

Five alderpsons – Jerry Bauersachs, Roger Crone, Steve Hayes, Flo Rowling and Sara Carey – called a special meeting Oct. 1, which was held in concurrence with a public hearing and meeting of the city’s planning commission.

During last month’s meeting, Grafton City Council approved to meet once a month rather than twice, with October being the first month the council would hold a single regular meeting.

Alderwoman Bobbie Amburg, who said she was not notified of the special meeting, took issue with the agenda’s content given the council’s action to reduce the number of monthly meetings.

“First off, I was very surprised to learn we were having a special meeting Oct. 1 when we had just voted to have one meeting a month,” Amburg said. “Whose idea was it to hold this meeting when most people would want to go to the opening of the new winery on Otterville Road, and did you consult with the mayor beforehand? No, you did not. One of you put the agenda together consisting of 17 items to be voted on and then instructed the mayor’s secretary to put it into packets, thus bypassing the city clerk.

Then, to top it all off, you had the audacity to purposefully leave my name off the notification list.

In a written statement sent to the Journal by email Friday, Bauersachs said the special meeting was called to discuss legal issues some alderpersons believed needed to be discussed before the regularly scheduled meeting Oct. 20. Those legal matters were discussed in closed session.

Items regarding sidewalks and streets were added because the issues, Bauersachs said, needed immediate attention because of the approach of cold weather.

“We’re taking Jake Medford the historical items Historic Riverboat off the Goldenrod, so everything that Preservation Association vice president makes the Goldenrod the Goldenrod is coming apart,” Medford said, noting much has already been placed in a storage facility.

“It’s going to be reconstructed later on inside a building.”

He said the HRSP is looking at building a facility for the museum, but has also fielded offers from the City Museum and Missouri History Museum, which are interested in preserving the boat’s history with exhibits.

Medford said that support is a relief as it will help guarantee the history is not lost.

“We will be able to preserve the Goldenrod in some shape or form. Even if it is not our own museum, we will have it in a museum no matter what,” Medford said. “It’s a big relief off my shoulders knowing all this work that we’ve done, we’re actually going to preserve something.”

Since 2012, the Goldenrod Showboat has been the focus of a passionate group of restoration workers – like Medford – who made it their goal to return the historic vessel to its riverfront home in St. Louis.

True to its history, however, tragedy struck once again last summer when the boat struck a sandbar, making restoration impractical.

In its more than 100-year lifespan, the boat crashed into a luxury steamer, was the victim of a fire and bottomed out on the river more than once.

The damage earlier this year, Medford said, was heartbreaking for him and others who have spent so much time and energy getting the boat the visibility it has in the public eye.

“It absolutely killed us all. There’s been a lot of hard times in there getting through all that, but I’m really excited with the team I have.” Medford said. “We got through that real quickly. We turned it around and we had a plan that worked and we’re going after that dream pretty quickly.”

Winery

(Continued from A1) it does in Grafton, a location he said is not forgotten.

Instead, he hopes the two will enhance each other.

As people become greater connoisseurs of their wine, they may drift to the country location near Eckert’s farm to visit the tasting room where they can see the large vats ready for wine preparation and the soon-to-be-delivered bottling machinery.

The machine will greatly improve the company’s productivity as it can bottle 100 cases of wine each hour. But that is not the end of the wine production improvements envisioned by Nikonovich and his wife, Lori, as the property is also home to more than four acres of grape vines.

The couple planted the crop in April, and while it may take five years before the grapes are mature enough to produce wine, the two hope to move away from

pre-purchased juice to make locally grown wine from the ground to the glass.

“When we get the production up and going out there, it will look nice with all the tanks and all the barrels, aging barrels, in there,” Nikonovich said. “People are always interested in how it works.”

The excitement may have been palpable last week, but the business did produce some turmoil in the surrounding communities, which claimed the Otter Creek Township in which the building was built had a prohibition on alcohol.

A newspaper article from 1949 in the Jersey County Democrat-News announced the victorious dry township vote of 108-to-52, but neither the county clerk’s office nor the Illinois Secretary of State’s office have records on file to prove the vote took place.

While the township board

did not oppose Nikonovich’s development, it did worry about setting a precedent for other alcohol-selling establishments, particularly taverns, to set up shop in Otter Creek Township.

Despite the controversy, the Jersey County Board issued the Grafton Winery a liquor license last May to establish its expansion off Otterville Road on Eckert’s Drive where the view includes a manmade lake.

While it provides a tranquil scene to visitors, the lake provides a practical purpose as it is located in a spot perfect for irrigation of the vineyard to the west. It is also connected to another lake on the property into which water can be drained or pulled.

The grape crop, he said, is tended by Eckert’s orchard and the Grafton Winery privately bottles wine for the orchard in return.

(Continued from A1) interact with one another.

The mayor and all council members attended last Thursday’s special meeting.

In an email to a Journal reporter last Friday, Bauersachs stated he was not in the frame of mind to talk to reporters after the meeting Thursday. He said a rough draft of the agenda was given to city hall one week before the meeting, but did not have special meeting notice signatures from Thompson and Amburg because they were out of town. Alderpersons Bauersachs, Rowling, Carey, Crone and Hayes did sign the notice.

A special meeting can be called by the mayor or three or more alderpersons, according to the city’s ordinances. Following the meeting Thursday night, Bauersachs said he did not have a strong working relationship with Amburg.

During the meeting Oct. 1, Amburg addressed feeling isolated during city council proceedings.

“Perhaps you think you can intimidate me and humiliate me so I quit, and you can have one of your cronies appointed. Well, I have news for you. I’ve never walked out on a job in my life, and I sure as hell don’t plan to start now,” Amburg said.

Fellow Ward Two Alderman Steve Hayes said he knew Amburg was not part of the decision to call the special meeting but said he

“didn’t think anything of it.” Bauersachs also said he knew Amburg was not part of the decision to call a special meeting.

Amburg said the recent actions of the council left her longing for things to change.

“I have been quiet throughout a lot of meetings over the last two years and not said too much of anything,” Amburg said. “Tonight, I’m going to say my piece …

Grafton deserves a better city council than they have now.”

Amburg questioned the validity of the agenda as she did not add anything to it.

The last agenda item concerned signs for businesses in Grafton. Amburg is the chair of the tourism committee, which deals with that issue.

Bauersachs reiterated Amburg’s position, but questioned Amburg and Thompson’s lack of involvement in the council’s decisions.

“Alderman Amburg was not included with the other five alderman signatures because she did not request any item be placed on the agenda,” Bauersachs wrote in a statement. “Alderman Amburg stated there was nothing on the agenda of an emergency nature. Yet Sue [Rongey], a member of the tourism committee, the very committee Alderman Amburg serves as chairperson, presented a request that could not wait until the regular meeting on Oct. 20.”

The special meeting agenda did not provide a public comment portion – nor was one provided during the meeting – but residents made their opinions known openly during the council’s proceedings.

Alison Amburg, a Ward Two resident and daughterin-law of Bobbie Amburg, said the actions of the council have been immature.

“The smirks and the cliques is the most ridiculous thing I have ever seen,” Alison Amburg said. “It’s like high school kids playing up here. It’s one against another.

It’s ridiculous. I manage a branch of a credit union, and my staff is younger than any of you and act way more adult.”

With a shout, another attendee asked if Grafton could “impeach one of these clowns.”

In his statement to the Journal, Bauersachs agreed the council members should act more professionally towards each member.

“If any council member has an issue with any other council member, the professional approach would be to sit down and talk about it. As long as the mayor or council members fail to behave in a professional manner and attack each other in a public meeting and allow individuals in the audience to attack any public official at a public meeting, the City of Grafton will not prosper,” he wrote.

JCH cleanliness ranks top 10 in IL

By BoB Crossen Jersey County Journal Jersey Community Hospital is among the cleanest hospitals in Illinois according to results of a survey from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.

Data from the survey was gathered from October 2013 through September 2014, when 85 percent of respondents reported rooms and bathrooms as “always” clean. The Illinois average and the national average for the same question is 74 percent.

Jen Bell, JCH media relations director, said hospitals throughout the country are required by CMS to conduct the survey with patients.

“These surveys are very important to us,” Bell said. “We really look at these surveys – we really look at them all the time – because we want to score well because it’s based on our reimbursement.”

While cleanliness is an important portion of the survey, JCH Facilities Director Steve LaBlanc said getting good marks from patients at the hospital is a team effort.

“If a person has one bad experience, when they fill out a survey, they tend to rate the whole survey that way, so it takes all of our departments to do as well as we can to make sure we score as good as we can across the board,” LaBlanc said. “It’s nice for the environmental services to get this recognition, but it’s actually a recognition of the whole hospital and all the employees here.”

LeBlanc said he and his staff – many of whom have worked 15 years or longer at the hospital –take great pride in making sure the bathrooms, hallways and rooms of the hospital are sanitary for all patients.

“We have a wonderful, dedicated infection control staff which consists of the director of nursing and an infection control nurse,” LeBlanc said. “They give us the guidelines of how to clean to prevent infections.”

The housekeeping employees – along with the rest of hospital staff – are locals who have a vested interest in keeping their hospital clean. Patients could be family members or close friends, and that accountability only adds to their desire to maintain a clean environment for patients.

He said the environmental services staff do some of the most menial jobs at the hospital while still putting on a smile. He commended the employees for their hard work.

“A lot of us wouldn’t even think of doing some of the things that they do,” LeBlanc said.

“These surveys are very important to us. We really look at these surveys – we really look at them all the time – because we want to score well because it’s based on our reimbursement.”

Jen Bell JCH media relations director

Jersey Community Hospital ranks in the top 10 in the state for cleanliness at rank nine, based on the CMS survey, but he said the climb to that rank was not due to a change in cleaning approaches.

Employees of the hospital, including nurses and doctors, are veterans of the industry at JCH, he said. As such, they are aware of any messes made and contribute to the clean up along with the cleaning crew.

The administration and board of the hospital make the work easier to conduct, as well.

“Whenever we need support from our administration or our governing board, we always get it. They support anything we try to do. They’re on our side,” LeBlanc said.

Bell said the questionnaires have been a standard in the industry for around 10 years.

The 27-question survey asks about the quality of care and interaction with their doctor in addition to the cleanliness portion.

Doing well on the surveys is important for the hospital in terms of critical improvement, Bell said, but it also correlates with the hospital’s funding. Better scores relate to better reimbursements for care, which can result in even greater quality visits for patients.

“The survey is really on the patient experience. The cleanliness of the hospital is one question. There are questions about the doctors and nurses, the radiology staff.” Bell said, noting the questions were formulated by the federal government as a requirement for hospitals to ask. “That’s why it’s important to us patients take the time and fill out these surveys because we have to be compliant.”

Goldenrod (Continued from A1) it redefined the boat’s future in the community with a museum-oriented goal.

Medford said workers Oct. 11 will continue to take apart pieces of the boat and place them in storage. Several entities, he added, have shown interest in creating an exhibit for the Goldenrod, most notably the City Museum.

Exact plans for what will be restored in a museum setting and where have not been finalized, he noted, but the community’s support of the century-old boat has grown tremendously since its auction three years ago.

Through several fundraising events and private donations, the boat was planned to be placed inside a larger barge so it could be floated down river where further fundraisers would be held for restoration.

The damage sustained by the boat following the flood this summer made the restoration plans impossible as the boat could not have been lifted and dropped into its

new housing without further damaging it.

After an emergency meeting the HRPS decided to use the items in the Goldenrod for a museum exhibit. Medford said the biggest dream of that process is reconstructing the theater as part of a museum exhibit. How the theater would be used – whether for entertainment or education purposes – is still up for discussion, he added.

Grafton planning commission defines bed and breakfast

By MArK PACe Jersey County Journal Grafton’s Planning Commission accepted an ordinance defining bed and breakfasts in the Grafton Zoning Code and will propose the change to city council.

The code will need to be accepted by city council before it can go into effect.

The new code would follow that of the State of Illinois. Currently, the City of Grafton does not define bed and breakfast.

“The reason we’re doing this is to make sure everyone understands that if they’re going to rent out property that is in a residential area, and is designated by the zoning that you can have a bed and breakfast there, that the individual has to live there or adjacent to that property,” Alderman Jerry Bauersachs said.

City council met simultaneously with the planning commission to discuss the issue at the public hearing. More than two council members can not discuss city business together at the same time unless it is during an official meeting.

So as not to violate the Open Meetings Act, council members, who sat among the public, simultaneously held a special meeting to give input on the issue.

“There was interest of the city council members to be here tonight,” City Attorney Jim Schrempf said. “In the past, there have been questions raised about whether they can gather and discuss an issue pertaining to the city without violation of the Open Meetings Act. To solve that we’re simply scheduling a meeting of the city council at the same time we are scheduling this meeting of the planning commission.”

The planning commission passed the new definition and will recommend it for approval to the council at its Oct. 20 meeting. Voting Yes for the proposed ordinance was Trebe Bradfisch, Mike Mcowan, Kevin Roundcount and Jamie Clayton. Bernie Hettinger was the lone No vote.

The proposed definition reads as follows: “(a) ‘Bed and Breakfast’ establishment

shall mean an operator-occupied residence providing accommodations for a charge to the public with no more than 5 guest rooms for rent, in operation for more than 10 nights in a 12 month period. Breakfast may be provided to the guests only. Bed and breakfast establishment shall not include motels, hotels, boarding houses, or food service establishments. (b) ‘Operator’ shall mean the owner of the bed and breakfast establishment, or the owner’s agent, who is required by this Act to reside in the bed and breakfast establishment, or on contiguous property. (c) ‘Guest Room’ shall mean a sleeping room intended to serve no more than 2 transient guests per night.”

The distinction between a guest house and a bed and breakfast was brought up during the meeting by attendees. However, Grafton does not have a current or proposed solution to define a guest house.

City council voted against an ordinance in January that would have introduced language in the city’s code defining guest houses.

However, new alderpersons took office in May. The newly proposed definition for bed and breakfast does not mention guest houses.

“We are not dealing at all with guest houses because there is no state definition of a guest house,” Bauersachs said.

However, other city officials discussed the issue and said it could be addressed in the future.

“I think in the future we could come up with a simple definition of a guest house,” Grafton Mayor Tom Thompson.

City Planner Tom Wobbe, who was hired in part to address such issues, said additional changes could come in the future.

“Hopefully, a lot of this is going to be addressed as we get into it,” he said. “And I have to apologize for not knowing it because we’re not at that point yet, but we will be making those changes to the text to clarify.”

Grafton City Council will meet Oct. 20 at 7 p.m. in City Hall. A proposal to adopt the new definition for bed and breakfasts will be on the agenda.

Issue: Grafton City Council Our View: Special meeting raises concerns

Publisher and Editor: Julie Boren

I

n September, the Grafton City Council agreed to hold one regular meeting each month with the first being scheduled Oct. 20.

But it could not finish the first full day of October before having a contentious meeting.

Five alderpersons signed a notice calling the special meeting and residents voiced the opinion the 19-item agenda gave off a bad vibe.

But that was not the only matter of concern. An alderwoman was not notified in a timely manner about the meeting, alderpersons acknowledged talking about city business outside of the meeting, and public comment was not provided on the agenda.

It also coincided with the grand opening of the Grafton Winery Vineyards development, which is not the first time a Grafton meeting has been called while people may be otherwise occupied.

While none of those issues are particularly damning, it does prompt concerns about the council’s approach to transparency, fairness and openness.

According to state law, council members are allowed to talk about city business with others outside open meetings – depending on their numbers – and the scheduling conflict may have been an oversight.

As we’ve mentioned before, the largest concerns stem from the internal differences among members of the council that boil over during open meetings, presenting the public with a dysfunctional elected body.

It is time for the council to take control of its meetings by giving people a public comment period instead of letting them interject while the council conducts business.

And members of that council need to air their differences to make strides toward compromise, otherwise their bickering will hamper the good things happening nearby, like the beautiful Grafton Winery Vineyards.

More than mums for fall S

ince the colors of autumn are about to flourish I thought it would be nice to discuss some of the flowers that are part of the color palate, how to grow them and their characteristics.

Everyone is familiar with the fall mum but there are many other flowers that provide color for fall enjoyment and often they are perennials. One of my favorites and easy one to grow is the aster.

Asters are perennial and prefer cooler summers with lots of moisture. You will find them in garden centers in late May and June in our area. They are available in shades of pink and purple, making for a nice contrast to reds and oranges of most fall plants. They are susceptible to powdery mildew but now there are many varieties that resist this. Annual asters can be grown from seed and are often double petaled varieties.

Celosia or Cockscomb is a great annual for fall and also easy to grow from seed.

They grow in shades of red, yellow, orange, pink and white. The seeds should be started indoors six to eight weeks before the growing season then planted in the garden in a sunny location.

These particular flowers can be dried by hanging them upside down and later enjoyed in dried arrangements.

Fall flowering crocus is another wonderful perennial choice for autumn. They are also known as saffron crocus since the stamens of the flower are harvested and dried to use in many rice dishes giving the rice a warm, yellow color. These

bulbs are usually available for planting in August. They like sunny well-drained areas and can also be grown in pots providing another source of pinks and purples for fall.

Dahlias are another great flower for autumn but in our area must be dug about two weeks after frost and stored in a cool dry area for planting next year. They are usually planted in late spring or early summer and just need plain old dirt, no special soils or fertilizers, maybe a little bone meal and a sunny location. Dahlias can be very impressive plants as their blossoms range from small to dinner-plate size and their colors are endless.

One autumn plant that often is passed over for the fall garden because it has been given an unjust reputation is Golden Rod. Of course it is a native wildflower in the Midwest but it is not the plant that causes many fall allergies.

Unfortunately it blooms about the same time and in the same areas as ragweed grows. Its beautiful deep yellow flowers are readily seen in the landscape. The pollen from Golden Rod is not a windborn pollen, as is ragweed pollen. The pollen is heavy and sticky and actually requires insects for pollination so it is a wonderful choice for butterflies.

Golden Rod is easy to grow but can be aggressive and great for competing with weeds. It needs sunshine and makes a nice background flower in the fall garden.

Marigolds are another popular annual that is easy to grow from seed.

Marigolds come in a vast

array of Guest sizes and Column colors.

BY BONNA They also are great DOWNEY companion plants for a vegetable garden because they deter beetles.

Cucumbers, melons, eggplant, gourds, kale, potatoes, squash and tomatoes all are great companions to Marigolds. I like to see Marigolds planted along the borders of these areas of a vegetable garden.

Russian Sage is a woody perennial that grows easily and has a soft lavender hue.

It is a plant with many herbal uses but I will address that in another article. Deer usually do not eat it and it is very pest resistant.

Salvias are another source of purples in the garden for autumn and can be either annuals or perennials. They also come in shades of red and in white and have spiky long-lasting blooms.

The last plant in my list for fall flowers is Sweet Autumn Clematis. This is different type of Clematis vine and grows very easily here. Its blossoms are a mass of tiny white star-shaped flowers that bloom from August through September.

The fragrance is quite intoxicating to many insects, as they seem to ignore humans as they buzz from one blossom to the next.

There are many more flowers for fall but these are some that are more common in our region. n Bonna Downey is a resident of Grafton and a Master Gardener.

Readers rely on newspapers more than they think Despite the evolution of iPads, smartphones and apps to disseminate the news in one form or another, community newspapers still hold an integral position in gathering and reporting the news.

The community newspaper in its present and electronic formats provides local news and sports as well as comics and legal news … and the list goes on.

This week is the 75th anniversary of National Newspaper Week, an observance that focuses on the importance of the local daily or weekly newspaper.

According to industry standards, more than 1,300 daily newspapers still bring millions of readers in the United States the news, while more than 7,000 non-daily newspapers serve communities in every state and territory.

Newspapers in the United States have grown up with generations of readers, while scores of articles may have become part of every family’s scrapbook. Newspapers report on a wide range of events from tragedies to joyous occasions. When readers want to reminisce about past events, though, where do they turn?

The local newspaper,

of course. People have always relied on newspapers.

The same can be said for residents who live from Maine to Minnesota to Washington state, and from Wisconsin to Kansas to Texas and beyond.

Those who call little towns and small cities as home all consider their newspapers as a source of pride and information, and a newspaper is a reliable method for former residents to keep in touch with their friends and the previous town they called “home.”

Newspapers still have an impact on the communities of which they have served for generations.

During a typical calendar year, newspapers donate thousands of dollars in public service advertising, print numerous stories on community events, cover social and news events, publish hundreds of local photos and report on the big athletic games of the year.

When electronic records “expire” or are no longer available, readers will still find the information in archived issues of the newspaper.

nity?

OBITUARIES

JERSEY COUNTY JOURNAL

Arlett Gibbons Arlett Gibbons, beloved wife, mother, grandmother and great-mother, Artlett Jean (Raef) Gibbons, July 13, 2015 at age 85, died peacefully after a short illness at St. Joseph Mercy Hospital in Ann Arbor, Mich., surrounded by family.

Arlett was born March 2, 1930, to Anthony and Velma (Diedrick) Raef in Peru, Ill., and the youngest of three children.

Arlett married Jim Gibbons on June 20, 1953.

Jim was born and raised on a family farm in Delhi.

They began their life in Peru, moving to Ames, Iowa, where Jim completed his PhD in Economics at Iowa State University.

They then moved for faculty positions to University of Wisconsin-Platteville and then University of Detroit. They settled in Ann Arbor in 1969, where Jim was a Professor of Economics at Eastern Michigan University.

Arlett was an Academic Secretary for the University of Michigan Math Department from September 1973 to September 1989, helping professors and graduate students alike with dissertations, grading and other areas for a well-run department. She made many friends, including department heads and faculty. In later years, she ran into many of her coworkers at Glacier Hills Retirement Center, where she lived after her husband’s death.

Arlett traveled widely with Jim for many years.

When their children were

young, they crisscrossed the United States and parts of Canada on camping trips, especially enjoying many trips to the Outer Banks in North Carolina.

Later Arlett and Jim visited Soviet Russia and Poland prior to the collapse of the USSR. They traveled all over Europe in the 1970s and ’80s, often with extended college sponsored educational trips, gaining many new friends along the way. Some returned the favor and visited them in Ann Arbor when they came to the United States. New Zealand and Australia were also visited. In later years, they began taking ocean cruises, including Panama Canal crossings and one to Alaska in 1996 with her son Kevin and his wife Kim that will never be forgotten. They drove across North America many times, staying for extended periods in the Big Bend portion of Texas, parts of Northern California where they experienced a strong earthquake first-hand, areas of Flagstaff, Ariz., and then Maui, Hawaii.

After Jim’s passing in 1999, Arlett continued her

Arlett loved her family. She loved taking care of her grandchildren, treating them to stays at Weber’s Inn in Ann Arbor so they could swim and play. She loved and often visited her grandchildren in California as well. She is sorely missed.

She is survived by her sister, Verda Mankowski of Chicago; her brother, Andy Raef of Florida; her daughter, Mary Clare (Gary) Hill in Dexter; sons Jim of Ann Arbor and Kevin (Kim) of Sunnyvale, Calif.; grandchildren, Jennifer Hill of Ann Arbor, Karen (Skyler) Owen of Chelsea, Christopher Gibbons and Courtney Gibbons of Sunnyvale; and greatgrandchildren, Landon and Kennedy Owen.

T

hat we tend to remember misdeeds years (and sometimes even decades) after the original offense says something important about us.

That is, we are deeply imbued with a sense of morality, and when we have committed a serious offense, especially one which hurts another person, we may have trouble getting over the shame and humiliation, even long after the other person has forgiven us. But what good is holding onto all of that shame and humiliation? We may never forget the wrong committed, and the other person probably won’t either, if it was something serious, but we should try to find it within ourselves to forgive ourselves. Jesus died for all of our sins, even the ones we can’t seem to forgive ourselves for, and not forgiving ourselves is tantamount to not trusting that God has forgiven us. A good question to ask in these circumstances is whether, knowing what you know now, you would still commit the sin. If the answer is no, then you have learned your lesson and it’s time to move on. – Christopher Simon

JCH doctors encourage breast cancer screenings

By BOB CROSSEN Jersey County Journal Through the month of October, signifying breast cancer awareness month, Jersey Community Hospital will offer weekend mammogram appointments.

Dr. Oscar Lin, JCH M.D. radiologist, said early screenings are the best means to be proactive in treating and preventing the spread of breast cancer.

“The earlier they catch something, if it’s a cancer, the more treatable it is,” Lin said.

“Before they had screening mammograms and had to wait until you actually felt something, it would be too late.

That’s why we suggested they do the screening mammogram.”

Mammograms create an X-ray image of breasts, which are used to screen for breast cancer by compressing the tissue. The machine can find the

smallest bits of cancerous cells, which would not otherwise be detected through lumps in the breast.

“If they’re younger, usu-

“The earlier you catch it, the better chance you can intervene and take care of it before it becomes a real problem.

The earlier you can detect it, the better.”

Dr. Oscar Lin JCH M.D. radiologist ally we’ll do just an ultrasound instead of a mammogram, but it just depends on the age; depends on what we find,” Lin

said. “The only thing you’ll see on the mammogram are small calcifications that you can’t feel, and you can’t even see it with a normal X-ray.”

Those calcifications, Lin said, are used as an indicator of breast cancer and if they are removed, it can stop the cancer in its tracks.

Doctors like Lin encourage women under 40 check their breasts regularly for potential lumps, but a screening mammogram, particularly for women age 40 and up, is the best way to find cancer before it becomes a problem.

Lin said women in families with a history of breast cancer should get a screening five years earlier at age 35.

Machines should not preclude a woman from checking with their hands, Shae Kirkendoll, JCH radiologic technologist, said.

“If they feel a lump or something that doesn’t feel right to them, they should call

their doctor first,” Kirkendoll said. “We’re pretty prompt about getting them in as soon as possible.”

By finding cancerous tissue earlier, Ron Ausley, RT director of imaging, said, doctors can begin treatment, particularly with a biopsy to remove the cancer from the tissue.

“The earlier you catch it, the better chance you can intervene and take care of it before it becomes a real problem. The earlier you can detect it, the

better,” Ausley said.

If the cancer is not removed, it can metastasize, meaning it spreads to other portions of the body, which presents even greater problems for the diagnosed person.

At Jersey Community Hospital, Lin said it has the capability to not only screen for cancer with a mammogram, but can also provide the services for a biopsy of the cancer. Depending on the severity of the cancer, more

elaborate surgical procedures may be necessary. Some of those are not offered at JCH, he added, which makes the preventative measures all the more important.

Lin said the hospital provides digital mammograms rather than film, noting the digital process has become standard for the screenings.

To request an imaging appointment, contact the imaging center at 618-498-8382.

Preparing for your mammography visit Annual mammograms are widely recommended for women beginning at age 40.

Some estimates suggest that more than 48 million mammography screenings are performed in the United States every year.

Whether it is a woman's first mammography or her twentieth, preparing for the appointment can ease anxiety and make the experience go more smoothly. The following are some guidelines to consider when preparing for a mammography visit. n Choose a reputable and certified facility. Select a radiology center that is certified by the FDA, which means it meets current standards and is safe. Many women also prefer to select a facility that is covered by their health insurance. Plans usually allow for one mammogram screening per year. n Time your visit. Schedule the mammogram to take place one week after your menstrual period if you have not reached menopause. Breasts are less likely to be tender at this time.

Also, schedule your visit for a time when you are not likely to feel rushed or stressed.

Early in the day works best for many. n Dress for the occasion.

Two-piece ensembles enable you to only remove your shirt

and bra for the examination.

A blouse that opens in the front may be optimal. Some facilities require you to wear a paper gown for the exam. n Watch your grooming practices. You'll be advised to abstain from wearing powder, perfume, deodorant, ointment, and lotions on the chest

or around the area. These substances may look like an abnormalities on the mammogram image, potentially resulting in false positive diagnoses. n Take an OTC pain medication. Mammograms are not necessarily painful, but they can put pressure on the

breasts, which creates discomfort. Breasts are compressed between a plastic plate and the imaging machine. This spreads out the tissue and helps create a clearer picture.

If your breasts are tender, medications like acetaminophen or ibuprofen taken an hour before the appointment

Jersey County Health Department

may ease discomfort. n Expect a short visit.

Mammogram appointments typically last around 30 minutes. The technician will mark any moles or birthmarks around the breasts so they can be ignored on the imaging. You'll be asked to hold your breath as the images

are taken. If the images are acceptable, you are free to go. But new images may be needed in some instances.

Mammograms are now a routine part of women's preventative health care. The procedure is simple and appointments are quick and relatively painless.

Most games will be played at the Susnig Center, located at 401 Mound Street in Jerseyville on nights and weekends. The department does not provide any equipment for the program. Parents are required to provide a basketball and non-marking soled shoes for each child.

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. Do not put it off; the

With this year being the 145th anniversary of St. John’s United Church of Christ in Brighton (founded in 1870 as St. John’s Evangelical Church), an attempt is being made to get photos of all the people whose names are on 12 large stained glass windows installed in 1925 during a major church renovation.

One of the beautiful 90-year-old stained glass windows is in memory of Frederick “Fred” W. Haag (1828-1903) and his wife, Elizabeth (Kiel) Haag (18401880). So far, no photo of Fred and Elizabeth Haag has been located.

“The hope is that someone related to the Haags will see this story and be able to provide us with a photo of Fred and Elizabeth Haag,” said Jill Wagenblast, a member of the church’s 145th anniversary committee. “The cost of the window, which reads, ‘In Memory of Mr. & Mrs. Fred

Haag,’ was donated by their children. It is one of only a couple of the 12 windows for which we are still seeking photos.”

It can be a photo of Fred and Elizabeth Haag together, separately, or in a family photo. Photos are needed by Oct. 19.

Anyone with a photo of Fred and Elizabeth Haag is asked to contact Jill Wagenblast by phone at 618-4019313 or email at jswagenblast@gmail.com. Photos of people named on the

Panthers lock up No. 4 seed

By kory carpenter Jersey County Journal Jersey soccer avenged a Sept. 22 loss to Highland in impressive fashion on senior night Tuesday, scoring three second-half goals en route to a 3-0 victory.

The Panthers (17-3, 6-3) secured the No. 4 seed in the Effingham Regional, and will play No. 5 seed Highland for the third time Oct. 21 in Effingham.

Jersey had a number of scoring opportunities in the first half and controlled much of the first 40 minutes, but was not rewarded for its efforts.

The second half, however, was a different story.

Jacob Ridenhour scored his team-best 24th goal of the season, Jacob Witt added a goal and collected his 14th assist of the season and Alex Goldacker collected two points with a goal, as well.

Goalkeeper Zac Ridenhour posted his 12th shutout of the season, and third consecutive scoreless outing.

The Panthers are scheduled to travel to Triad Thursday before finishing the regular season Wednesday, Oct. 14 against Granite City.

The winner of the following week’s Effingham Regional will play the Carbondale Regional champion Oct. 27 in Columbia.

Flowers won the No. 1 flight 2.9 mile race in 14:37.56 and was named meet champion, his sixth overall championship.

Five other Jersey boys runners finished in the top five of their respective flights, and Kiara Chapman led the Jersey girls with a 10th place finish in the third flight, posting a time of 20:47.48.

The Panthers are expected to compete in Saturday’s East Alton-Wood River Invitational at Belk Park at 9 a.m., and the Mississippi Valley Conference championships are scheduled for Thursday, Oct. 15.

YOUR #1 SOURCE FOR LOCAL SPORTS JERSEY COUNTY JOURNAL

By kory carpenter Jersey County Journal Despite the growing pains his young team has been through this season, Jersey (0-6) head football coach Dave Jacobs looked at Friday’s game against Mascoutah as a chance to get in the winner’s circle.

“I always think we can win and I still think we can,” Jacobs said last week. “I think we have some games left that I think we can win.”

Mascoutah, which is also 0-6, has suffered lopsided defeats in five of its six games this season.

The Panthers and Indians have played three common opponents thus far: Mt. Zion, Civic Memorial and Triad.

Both teams struggled against the trio, although Jersey played each opponent tighter, getting outscored 96 to Mascoutah’s 113.

Although minuscule, it supports Jacob’s thought that Friday’s game is one of the more winnable games left on the Jersey schedule.

The Mascoutah offense is led by quarterback AJ Albers, who has completed 44 of 100 passes this season for 639 yards and two touch-

downs.

Running back Jacob Williams leads the ground attack with 386 yards on 84 carries, while also leading the defense with 20 tackles.

If the Panthers defense can stop Williams early in the game, it could be enough for a Jersey victory.

The Mascoutah offense has scored 20 points once this season, a 28-20 loss to Effingham Sept. 4.

Jersey has put up 30 points or more on four occasions, most recently in last week’s 42-32 loss to Waterloo.

Sophomore quarterback Drew Saurwein continues to put up big numbers, completing 23 of 36 passes for three touchdowns last week.

Sauerwein is 45th in the greater St. Louis area with 963 passing yards, while junior Dereck Hill’s 378 receiving yards put him 59th overall.

Sophomore Blake Wittman cracks the top 100 in receiving yards (79th) with 337 yards on 32 catches, and the Panthers average 25.1 points per game.

Jersey travels to Highland (6-0) next week before ending the season Oct. 23 at home against Mattoon.

State fire marshal ushers in Fire Prevention Week n‘Hear the Beep Where You Sleep!’

Sunday marked the first day of National Fire Prevention Week, which takes place Oct. 4-10 this year. During this week, Illinois State Fire Marshal Matt Perez urges everyone to take a moment to review their safety protocols in the event of a fire.

This year’s theme, “Hear the Beep Where You Sleep. Every Bedroom Needs a Working Smoke Alarm!” points to the role of smoke detectors in dramatically reducing the tragic consequences of residential fires. According to the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), half of home fire deaths—about 1,400 fatalities a year—result from fires reported between 11 p.m. and 7 a.m., when most people are sound asleep. Three out of five home fire deaths happen in homes with no smoke alarms or no working smoke alarms. The combination of these two facts – late night fires without sufficient warning to escape - has deadly consequences.

“I cannot overstate the importance of having properly placed and working smoke detectors in your home,” said State Fire Marshal Matt Perez. “Smoke detectors are incredibly affordable and easy to install.

Take a moment this month to make sure you have one in every bedroom and on every level of your home, and that they are all working properly. They could be the difference between life and death."

The Office of the State Fire Marshal provides the following recommendations for installing and maintaining smoke alarms:

might occur when a lit cigarette is dropped on a sofa. Combination smoke alarms have both ionization and photoelectric capabilities.

• Make sure the smoke alarm you choose carries the label of a recognized testing laboratory.

• Consider installing interconnected smoke alarms. Interconnected smoke alarms offer enhanced protection; when one sounds, they all do. This is particularly important in larger or multi-story homes, where the sound from distant smoke alarms may not be loud enough to provide proper warning, especially for sleeping individuals.

• A licensed electrician can install either hard-wired multiple-station alarms or wireless alarms, which manufacturers have more recently begun producing. An electrician can also replace existing hard-wired smoke alarms with wirelessly interconnected alarms

Maintenance and Testing • Test smoke alarms at least once a month using the test button, and make sure everyone in your home knows their sound.

• If an alarm “chirps,” warning the battery is low, replace the battery right away.

• Replace all smoke alarms, including alarms that use 10-year batteries and hardwired alarms, when they’re 10 years old (or sooner) if they do not respond properly when tested.

• Change the batteries on smoke alarms at least twice a year. Daylight Savings Time can serve as a reminder to “Change your Installation • At least one smoke alarm should be Clock, Change your Batteries.”

National Fire Prevention Week is the located on every level of the home, including the basement, as well as in every sleeping longest-running public health and safety room and within 15 feet of each sleeping observance on-record, having started with Woodrow Wilson’s 1920 proclamation of area.

• NFPA strongly recommends either National Fire Prevention Day. This year’s installing combination smoke alarms, or Prevention Week coincides with the 144th both ionization and photoelectric alarms, in anniversary of the Great Chicago Fire of the home. An ionization alarm is typically 1871.

For more information on fire safety and more responsive to a flaming fire, such as a pan fire. A photoelectric alarm is typically prevention, please visit OSFM’s website at more responsive to a smoldering fire, as sfm.illinois.gov.

JERSEY COUNTY JOURNAL

What’S HAPPENING

News items from the pages of Jersey County Journal 2005 “Total Information AM,” St. Louis radio station KMOX’s morning show, was broadcast live from the White Spot in Jerseyville Wednesday morning. The broadcast was part of the station’s “Hometown Voices Tour,” in which the station does a live broadcast from a different small town in its listening area every month.

It was just a drill, but Jersey County Health Administrator Terese Macias takes these drills seriously. Friday, Macias and numerous local health officials at the Jersey County Health Department including Rebecca Shipley, director of health services, Karen Schroeder, Rhonda Dougherty, Geri Daniels and Lorna Hagen took part in the Drop-Site Drill to test the community’s responsiveness to bio-terrorist attacks. The drill, which was one of two to take place in the county in as many days, was an evaluation of how quickly community health officials could respond to a disaster.

Turner’s Tumbling in Jerseyville will soon have a new facility, new equipment and new name. On Thursday, the gymnastics and dance studio, owned by Wendy and Tom Turner, will begin the second phase of construction on a new 7,000 square foot facility located south of Jerseyville on Route 67.

Country singer Billy Hurst, who grew up in Grafton, narrowly lost out to musician Sean Patrick McGraw in a radio contest at Los Angels’ Hot Country for a spot on a CD produced by Mark Trail.

Voting, which took place on the L.A. Hot Country Website, concluded Monday. Hurst, who garnered 29.9 percent of the nearly 5,000 votes, came up 250 votes short of McGraw.

Seniors Meghan McCreary and Liz Duggan, and junior Lindsay Dixon became the first Panthers to clinch berths in the state tennis finals. They also helped the Panthers to a perfect 12-0 dual match record and 5-0 record in conference play, plus Jerseyville also won the Mississippi Valley Conference title. At sectionals in Edwardsville, Dixon and McCreary placed second in doubles while Duggan finished fourth in singles play to advance to the state finals that will be played this week in Chicago.

2010 The two-day search for a missing woman, which was conducted on the property of Roger Carroll Jr. Wednesday and Thursday on Creek Road in eastern Jersey County, was called off at approximately 3:30 p.m. Thursday, according to Jersey County Sheriff Mark Kallal. Officials from approximately 20 agencies had been

searching for the body of Bonnie Woodward, 48, of East Alton, who was last seen on June 25 outside the Eunice Smith Nursing Home in Alton where she was employed.

During one of the county health department’s routine inspections, a restaurant in Jerseyville failed to reach the threshold needed to pass the test. It scored a 59 due to 18 violations that were found by the Jersey County Health Department. Businesses must keep scores above 70 with points deducted for each violation. China House Buffet, located at 118 St. State St., had 26 points deducted for serious health violations.

The 2010-2011 Jersey Community High School theatre season will open with the fall play, “You Can’t Take It With You.” The show will run Oct. 7 and 9 and Oct. 10. The show is directed by Brett Beauchamp and Martha Harpstrite. The one-act play is directed by senior Haley Disterhoft. During one of the shows, judges from the Illinois High School Theatre Festival will be in attendance to determine if the show can be performed at the 36th annual Theatre Festival in January at the University of Illinois.

The Theatre Department performed “Our Town” at the 30th Festival in 2005.

Journal NOTES

Preliminary SAT/ scholarship qualifying test at JCHS

The Preliminary SAT/ National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test will be administered to interested juniors on Wednesday, Oct. 14 at Jersey Community High School. The test measures verbal, writing and mathematical rea-

soning abilities. Nationwide, more than one million college-bound high school students take the test each year. Benefits of the PSAT/ NMSQT test include a student forecast of SAT scores, an opportunity to participate in college and government sponsored programs looking for qualified students, and a chance to qualify for scholarship programs such as the National Merit Scholarship.

Parents of juniors should check with their employers to see if the PSAT is necessary for their student to be eligible for a company sponsored scholarship. Interested students may register for the test in the Guidance Office by Oct. 2. The first 60 students to sign up will be tested. The cost is $15.

PLUGS IN AT HOME and

at home away

FROM HOME.

A smarter Home Phone.

Whether you’re at home or away at college, a U.S. Cellular® Home Phone plugs in absolutely anywhere, and you don’t have to change your existing number. Enjoy all the benefits of a landline without the high price, for just $20 a month. Plus, your first month is free.

CALL FOR STORE HOURS.

Things we want you to know:IMPORTANT 911 EMERGENCY RESPONSE INFORMATION. The U.S. Cellular Home Phone Device (“Device”) in conjunction with Home Phone Service (“Service”) (together, the “U.S. Cellular Home Phone”) is a Commercial Mobile Radio Service and not a landline phone service. U.S. Cellular does not represent or warrant that the U.S. Cellular Home Phone is equivalent to landline phone service. 911 calls made using the U.S. Cellular Home Phone Service are routed using U.S. Cellular’ s automatic location technology and users should be prepared to provide their physical address to emergency responders. While the Device does contain a GPS chip, its connection may be limited due to the Device’s location within the home. The GPS chip will work best if the Device is located near a window or other opening. A corded or cordless landline phone must be connected to the Device in order for the U.S. Cellular Home Phone to operate. A corded or cordless landline phone is not included. While the Device does have a backup battery, if the landline phone to which the Device is connected requires external electric power to operate, Service (including the ability to make and receive 911 calls) will not be available during a power outage. Neither U.S. Cellular nor any of its affiliates shall be liable for any service outage and/or inability to access emergency service personnel, nor shall U.S. Cellular or any of its affiliates be responsible for the acts or omissions of emergency response center personnel. SERVICE USE AND LIMITATIONS: The U.S. Cellular Home Phone is solely a wireless voice service. Data services typically available on handheld wireless phones or other wireless devices are not available through U.S. Cellular Home Phone. U.S. Cellular Home Phone is not compatible with services requiring data including, but not limited to fax service, DVR services, credit card machines, medical alert services or some High-Speed or DSL Internet services.

The U.S. Cellular Home Phone may not be compatible with certain home security systems. Please check with your home security system provider to confirm the compatibility requirements of your home security system. Service coverage may vary.

See uscellular.com/maps for the latest coverage information. Service may be interrupted or limited due to weather, terrain, customer equipment or network limitations. Coverage indoors may also vary. U.S. Cellular does not guarantee coverage. A new 2-yr. agreement (subject to a pro-rated $150 Early Termination Fee) required. Agreement terms apply as long as you are a customer. A $35 Device Activation Fee and credit approval may apply. Regulatory Cost Recovery Fee applies (currently $1.57/line/month); this is not a tax or government required charge. Additional fees, taxes and terms apply and vary by service and equipment. See store or uscellular.com for details.Kansas Customers:In areas in which U.S. Cellular receives support from the Federal Universal Service Fund, all reasonable requests for service must be met. Unresolved questions concerning services availability can be directed to the Kansas Corporation Commission Office of Public Affairs and Consumer Protection at 1-800-662-0027. Limited-time offer. Trademarks and trade names are the property of their respective owners. ©2015 U.S. Cellular NonPromo_HomePhone_BetterHome_Print_DI_7_5x10
