Residents raise concern Jersey Circuit after stop to levee repair judge steps down

By KRIS SCHEFFEL Jersey County Journal The Army Corps of Engineers has wrapped up work for the year on the Nutwood Levee following the completion of a coffer dam to protect the breach site, which has yet to be repaired.

Residents are concerned that the postponement may result in potential disaster when the spring rains come.

The Army Corps is conducting repairs to the Nutwood Levee in two parts or contracts. The first contract, which as of Thursday has been completed, saw the filling in of the scour holes, the building of the coffer dam and an assessment of the damage to the levee.

The scour holes were enormous pits located under and around the levee where the flood waters dug out soil and sediment. The Corps has imported sand from Louisana, Mo. to fill in some of these holes.

The coffer dam, which has now been completed, is a large structure put in place as a temporary measure to stabilize the levee and protect the breach site, which is estimated to be around 300 yards wide.

“It’s a combination of finding the best resources and building in the best season.”

Sue Cesseau Public affairs specialist for the Army Corps The second contract will fill in the rest of the scour holes and address the levee’s breach site. The Corps has made a decision to delay this work until next year, said Brett Gettings,

Nutwood Levee District Manager.

“We were hoping they were going to stay out there, but apparently not,” he said.

“I think that’s all they were planning to do... They never told us that until they were done with the coffer dam.”

Sue Casseau, public affairs specialist for the Corps, said that the Corps has made the determination that with the coffer dam now complete, they have the necessary protection to enable them to seek out the necessary materials at a lower cost to complete the second contract’s work.

“It’s a combination of finding the best resources and building in the best season,” she said.

Gettings said that farmers along the levee are worried about the delay.

“About 100 feet away is the river,” he said.

Residents have also

By KRIS SCHEFFEL Jersey County Journal Judge Eric Pistorius has made the decision to step down as the presiding judge of the Jersey County Circuit Court after what will be 15 years of service.

“I grew up in this town, and this is something I aspired to be,” Pistorius said. “It’s truly a dream come true.”

Pistorius graduated from Southern Illinois University Law School in 1984 and worked as an attorney in Madison County for a few years before moving back to his hometown.

“There’s so many wonderful things about this county,” he said.

During his time as an attorney, he worked primarily on auto and personal injury cases, but also had the opportunity to work on criminal cases as both a prosecutor and defender even serving as a public defender for a time.

(See, REPAIR, A2)

ERIC PISTORIUS He ascribes the breadth of his experience as part of the benefits of working in a smaller community.

“I got to do all of it,” he said.

Pistorius plans to becoming an attorney again, which he said he looks forward to, whether it be in Jersey County or elsewhere.

“What will be nice is I will be able to pick and choose the kinds of cases I want to do,” he said. “Being a judge has probably made me a better attorney.

I’ll have a better understanding of what a judge is looking for.”

By JARAD JARMON Jersey County Journal There is no committee planning out the evening. It is just an unwritten rule in the West Pointe subdivision that if the light is on, you better be prepared with bags of candy— a lot of bags of candy.

Typically, a homeowner might be content to buy a couple of bags of candy, put it in a bucket and call it a day until Trick-or-Treaters trickle in that Halloween evening.

Maybe the homeowner will get a few dozen. Maybe a little bit more. But they know once the Trick-or-Treating hours are over that, in all likelihood, there is plenty of candy to spare even from there small inventory.

This could be, and likely is, the case for most homes in Jerseyville and even the coun-

ty, but not for those that live in the West Pointe subdivision.

Whether they learned the night of or ahead of the Oct. 31 date, homeowners found out eventually that their neighborhood is the epicenter of Trick-or-Treating on Halloween in Jerseyville and that a couple of bags of candy would not cut it.

John McNeese, a relatively newer resident in the subdivision, said he and his wife, Linda, thought they were prepared for the traffic that walks about the streets of the subdivision.

They knew the area had a lot of Trick-or-Treaters, or at least they had an “inkling,” he said.

They had a little more candy than they would normally have on Halloween. And yet, John said they still find them(See, SUBDIVISION, A2)

Emily Laird, dressed as Winnie the Pooh, hands out candy to the Trick-or-Treaters Thursday.

At her home in the country, Laird does not see the numbers of Trick-or-Treaters that can be seen roaming about the West Pointe subdivision. Laird said she got no Trick-or-Treaters last year, and so she thought to participate with friends in this subdivision this time around.

Jersey County schools receive Report Card from state

By KRIS SCHEFFEL Jersey County Journal The grades are in.

The Illinois State Board of Education release the annual Illinois Report Card on Nov. 28, with Jersey School District 100 receiving a designation of ‘Commendable’ for the second year in a row. While positive, the numbers do not reflect the growth in opportunities that students have seen over the years.

The Report Card is a measurement of a district’s performance and socioeconomics which compares the district to a state average. Performance is

measured by the results of the Illinois Assessment of Readiness (IAR), given during third through eighth grades, the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) and the Illinois Science Assessment, given to students enrolled in fifth grade, eighth grade and high school biology.

Other measures of performance include graduation rates, tertiary enrollment, student attendance and teacher retention.

Of course, the figures released by the state are only a small reflection of how the local school district is performing.

The county has a smaller student body than many other school districts in the

The size of the district’s student body has been roughly 2,500 students with the past 2018-2019 school year seeing a total 2,561 students enrolled. Overall, student attendance has remained consistently strong at 95 percent and reflects the state’s average of 94 percent.

On the IAR, student scores from third through eighth grades were measured on a scale from ‘partially met’ to ‘exceeds’ in order to gather a picture of students proficiency in English Lan(See, REPORT CARD, A3)

There were a number of areas where the district saw not just consistency, but also growth.

“JCHS demonstrated growth in freshman on track, four-year graduation rate, the number of eighth grade students passing Algebra 1, and student attendance,” Jersey Superintendent Brad Tuttle said in a press release.

“JCMS students demonstrated growth in mathematics for seventh grade students and across all grade levels in ELA according to the IAR. Over-

By JARAD JARMON Jersey County Journal The Jerseyville City Council OK’d the city’s purchase of delinquent property near the sewer lift station at their Tuesday evening meeting.

The property, located at 506 Easton Ave., abuts next to the lift staton on Easton, Jerseyville Mayor Bill Russell said. The property cost $829.

“It was a delinquent property that someone started to build on,” Russell said. “The individual passed away and the family didn’t pay taxes on the property…The city saw an opportunity at such a low number just to purchase it.”

There are no current plans for the property as of yet, but Bill Strang, city attorney, said if the city needed to expand the lift station,

they would be able to do so on this property.

Also at the meeting, the council members accepted the retirement of Dave Hamilton from the city’s water and sewer department on Dec. 1, 2019. Hamilton served 37 years at the city.

“Dave— thanks for your service,” Russell said.

“It has been good,” Hamilton said. “I am ready.”

Repairs (Continued from A1) raised concerns about the delay. In a Facebook post on the Access Calhoun page, Jersey County resident Michele Meyer-Gettings, expressed worry that the dam may not hold up to next spring’s rains.

Access Calhoun is a local group that formed with goals to push for action on flood mitigation efforts largely centered on access to and from Calhoun following flood events like the one the area experienced this year.

“If we get spring rains like we normally do, chances are we will flood again,” she said.

It is an all too real fear for those like Meyer-Gettings who was displaced during the flood earlier this year, her home along levee having been made unlivable.

Casseau emphasized the

Corps has taken into consideration the seasons and risks that come with them.

“It is not something that we are just walking away from,” Casseau said. “Whatever spring brings to us... it will not be a surprise.”

She noted that the task at hand is much more substantial than it may first appear with the engineers assessing the entire levee for potential weaknesses.

“We need to assess damage beyond the breach itself,” she said. “We don’t want to miss the damage along the levee.”

With winter around the corner, the Corps is utilizing this time to wrap up their assessments and ensure that they have the necessary materials come spring. The Corps is not taking the danger posed by melting snows and spring

showers lightly, Casseau indicated.

“We know this is not the permanent fix,” Casseau said.

“We’re talking about protecting human life and property and lifelong investments. If there is a threat before March, we will act before March.”

For now, the coffer dam will provide the primary protection against the waters which remain at flood stage as of this week. Grafton has crested, according to data from the National Weather Service, with waters predicted to drop below flood stage by mid-November.

Hardin, on the other hand, is predicted to remain above flood stage at around 25 feet by mid-November.

For questions regarding the levee, residents can contact the Corps of Engineers at 314331-8000.

Subdivision (Continued from A1) selves taking trips to the store for more candy like they did last year.

For those in the neighborhood, it is not the typical exchange where the Trickor-Treater knocks on the door, the door opens and the costumed kiddo says “Trickor-Treat” for some candy.

“It is a big deal…The door stays open,” John said. “It is constant.”

This traffic came as a shock to John and Linda.

They came from a county road home whose visitors almost exclusively included grandchildren.

He said he estimated they had 175 kids last year.

These estimates increase drastically depending on the home. Josh Hileman, a resident in the neighborhood for five years, estimated well over 800 going to his home for candy last year, a number that has seemed to only increase each year.

Hileman’s house and a few others in the neighborhood serve as focal points, intentionally or not, because of the extent at which they embrace and decorate for the holiday.

At Hileman’s home, inflatables and a reference to the TV show, “Stranger Things,” lined the middle of his yard while other decorations adorned his porch and spooky clips were projected on to the facade of the home.

For the Hileman family, the decorations are just as much a part of Trick-orTreating as the candy.

“We always do that together and I think that is very fun,” Jovee Hileman, 12, said.

Josh Hileman believed he and his family were prepared for the onslaught of Trick-orTreaters as well. They had heard the neighborhood gets a lot of Trick-or-Treaters.

Josh has seen a lot of Trickor-Treaters before. He lived in Grafton where he said he saw plenty. This was different.

“We thought it was big there when we would get 250,” Josh said. “We knew it was a thing here, so our first year, I think we planned for 400.”

It was an underestimation.

They had to go to the store for more candy two or three times that first Halloween in the home.

“We are still trying to figure it out,” he said.

It has gotten bigger every year.

“There was a solid line from our porch to the street,”

Jarad Jarmon/Jersey County Journal

Loretta Ramsey, Bob Lorentz and their dog, Juliet, sit outside with a bucket of candy at the ready for the flurry of costumed kiddies. They also had their spooky skeleton dog, Romeo, at their side.

Hileman said of last year.

Jason Brunaugh, a resident of the subdivision, said it has been “unreal” seeing it grow—this unofficial hotspot in the city. Brunaugh and his family have lived in the subdivision for 12 years and have grown relatively accustomed to the crowds on Halloween night. Even still, Brunaugh admitted it has grown to an unimaginable size.

Brunaugh puts a lot into decorations as well, going for a more spooky-vibe than his neighbors.

Brunaugh hypothesized that at first, the neighborhood started to see substantial crowds because of the population of families in the neighborhood with young kids at the time.

“The subdivision itself had a lot of young children in it,” Brunaugh said. “It is a great safe place to Trick-or-Treat for those kids. Then their friends started coming with them. And, I think a lot of the neighbors are very generous here. They are very giving, and they love to support these little kids. I think it has just been an attractive spot.”

It has since expanded beyond even those groups.

Beyond the children in the neighborhood, Trick-orTreaters from across the area flock to this subdivision, which is apparent by the lines of cars that were stationed outside of the subdivision. People from other areas find their way to Jerseyville to Trick-or-Treat at these homes, which warranted the city to close off the street to vehicle traffic to ensure those walking on the street are safe. Ahead of Halloween, the city has started to close off Hartcourt, Bradford and Micheal Place during Trick-or-Treating hours.

“Everybody thinks it is the

place to come for some reason,” John McNeese said.

“I don’t even know where all of the people come from,” he said.

Despite the ever-growing size, residents are thrilled every time Halloween arrives.

“It more exciting. It is not troublesome at all,” Brunaugh said. “We do it for the joy of giving back to kids.”

Josh Hileman loves the holiday, as a whole, and sees the event as additional fun to the season.

“It is our favorite holiday,” Josh said. “It is fun to see all of the kids come up. Nobody is ever angry on Halloween.”

John said it is always exciting.

“The kids make you young,” John said. “…It makes your day when you see those kids come up…

It makes you feel young again.”

Trick-or-Treating in the subdivision has mirrored gatherings like a Super Bowl party for some residents, with many of their friends wanting to see it for themselves-many of whom do not get nearly the amount of Trick-or-Treaters residents like Brunaugh sees.

“They want to be a part of the fun,” Brunaugh said.

Friends often help pass out candy throughout the night.

This year, the crowds were delayed but still abundant Halloween night.

“You would think the weather would have something to do with it, but it really hasn’t seemed to,” Hileman said. “…The more people you have doing it, the bigger the crowd gets.”

Now, that Halloween is over, many of the residents are looking toward Christmas and the process of decorating their homes.

Grafton Sky Tours hopes to boost city tourism

By KRIS SCHEFFEL Jersey County Journal Grafton is seeing new heights with the grand opening of the Grafton Sky Tour aerial lift this past Friday, Nov. 1.

The year-round lift takes passengers up 300 feet to Aerie’s Resort and is one of many plans to help boost Grafton’s tourist economy.

The lift has been long in the making with this year’s record flood delaying its awaited opening. J.D. Lorton, Aerie’s Resort director of operations, said the flood was a major setback for the project.

“It had a huge impact,” he said. “We couldn’t do any programming until the flood went down.”

Lorton said in spite of the delays, it was well worth the wait with the lift’s first weekend exceeding expectations.

“The aerial lift is opening just in time for the peak fall colors,” he said. “Visitors can enjoy the breathtaking views of the region while taking a relaxing ride to see all the amenities and activities Aerie’s has to offer.”

Lorton said that he has received positive feedback from travel planners and that the lift is reflective of the new opportunities Grafton is experiencing as a result of this interest. He referenced the growing number of road coaches that are stopping into Grafton as one example.

“They are going to come spend 3 to 4 hours in Grafton,” he said. “We never had that business before.”

An attraction in its own right, seeking the capitalize on Grafton’s scenic beauty, the lift also seeks to alleviate the traffic and parking congestion that this tourism brings.

“With over 1.5 million vehicles traveling through this small town each year, Grafton’s economy is dependent on the town’s success as a tourist destination,” Lorton said. “... This is more than just the opening of a unique

year-round attraction; it is also the start of a substantial new revenue generator for the entire city, a much-needed aid to alleviate traffic and parking problems, and a boon to the entire Riverbend tourism experience.”

Grafton Sky Tour is currently underway on what Lorton describes as the second part of this two-fold project.

In the spring, Grafton Sky Tour plans to implement a shuttle service throughout Grafton and add 800 new parking spots.

“The goal is to get people off the road and get people a place to park,” Lorton said.

“Every business in Grafton can benefit from that... This is a real game changer for Grafton and the whole area.”

The shuttles will travel through the city, from the Loading Dock to Beasley’s Fish, stopping at twelve designated stops. The parking lots will be located largely along the river including near the Aerie’s office and Water St. The shuttles are planning run regularly on weekends

and during the weekday’s peak hours.

With the addition of the lift, Lorton also hopes to bring more visitors during the winter season. It is a goal that the city’s council is also addressing with the recent purchase of a Christmas tree and decoration plans.

“December and March are the two slowest months of the year,” Lorton said. “We wanna turn that around.”

The lift will be open yearround, so that visitors can enjoy the view from above particularly with eagle season around the corner.

“Up here on top of the hill is a great place to see the eagles,” Lorton said.

Lorton said they are also considering hosting a winter wonderland to help bolster tourism during the winter months.

“You’re not finding anything like this (the lift) within 300 miles,” Lorton said.

The Grafton Sky Tour aerial lift is open Monday through Thursday from 12 p.m. to 6 p.m., and Friday through Sunday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Festival fundraiser features Disney characters Jerseyville’s annual Downtown Community Christmas Festival takes place this year on Saturday, Nov. 30 throughout city’s downtown business district. This year’s festival marks the fifth year of hosting this Small Business Saturday 2019 event.

But in order to keep its promise to bring the best of holiday memories again this year, the community needs “u.�

On Sunday, Nov. 10, a new pre-Festival fundraiser event is taking place at the 1880 Pizza Pasta House. Located at 210 S. State St., Jerseyville, the restaurant will be the place to fill your belly with some of the cuisine the new dining venue has to offer, while also visiting with some of Disney most beloved characters.

The event has been organized to help cover some of the costs incurred with each year’s hosting of the Downtown Country Christmas Festival.

Six professional Disney character players will be on hand to visit with diners as they sample some of the cuisine the new dining venue has to offer. Photo and souvenir opportunities will also be available.

Reservations are available but filling up fast for the 12 noon, 1:30 and 3 p.m. time slots.

Tickets are $25 each. Call Julie’s Graphics at (618) 639-3548 or visit 103 Lincoln Ave., Jerseyville, between the hours of 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. Monday through Friday to secure reservations or for more information.

Festival organizers are also pleading for more volunteers, and there is an ongoing appeal for more event sponsors as well.

One of this year’s Festival sponsors is Heneghan, White, Cutting and Rice Insurance Agency. Their location will be the host site for the Festival’s Bake Shoppe. It will also be where children have the chance to visit with Santa Claus himself once he arrives via helicopter.

Joe Heneghan is the agency’s president, and he shared why his company got involved. “It shows a favorable light on the downtown Jerseyville area. It is a very familyoriented environment,� Heneghan said. “The festival brings together our downtown businesses, to show their enthusiasm in working together in the spirit of Christmas within a real hometown atmosphere, and to give everyone attending a warm and personal feeling of middle American values.�

There are differing levels of sponsorship options available. Anyone interested as sponsor can visit the festival website

If it wasn’t for our community being as generous as it is, and our sponsors being equally as generous as they are, this festival would cease to exist.�

To help with the festival in an alternate way, volunteers are still needed. “We have a series of workdays scheduled at the Festival Storage site prior to November 30,� Michael Ward, DCCF coordinator said. “And we need all the help we can get.

We also need volunteers on the day of the festival. “If you want to lend a hand before, the day of, throughout the month ahead, several hours or just a few, we need you.

Alton pursuit ends in crash in Jersey

By JARAD JARMON Jersey County Journal A car pursuit of an individual in Alton ended at a tree in rural Jersey County, according to Alton police officials.

Lt. Jarrett Ford of the Alton Police Department said an individual, later identified as Melvin S. Surratt IV, crashed a Black Dodge Ram into the tree of a residence near the intersection of Wendel Road and Rantoul Road at approximately 9 p.m. Oct. 22 following a high-speed pursuit.

Ford said an Alton officer noticed the vehicle, which matched the description of a vehicle involved in an incident days prior.

During that incident, a subject was seen fleeing a vacant residence and fled the scene almost hitting an officer on foot at the time, Ford said.

The officer that noticed the vehicle days

later and attempted a traffic stop. The driver of the vehicle, Surratt, allegedly refused to stop and a pursuit ensued. Ford said the vehicle lost control as it was approaching Rantoul and crashed into a tree at a rural residence.

Once the vehicle struck the tree, Surratt reportedly got out and fled the scene on foot.

He was later apprehended without further incident, Ford said.

Ford said Surratt was issued a list of citations among them including speeding, ignoring a traffic control signal and aggravated attempt to flee or elude an officer.

Minor injuries were reported at the scene, but treatment was refused from on-scene emergency personnel, including for the female passenger of the truck during the pursuit. Alton police did not provide the name of the passenger, and the passenger was not charged in connection with the incident, Ford said.

Fidelity woman dies in car crash in Macoupin

By JARAD JARMON Jersey County Journal A Fidelity woman died in a head-on collision in Macoupin County over the weekend.

Rebecca S. Droste, 35, of Fidelity collided with Jurrell D. Walker, 29, of Quincy in vehicle crash at approximately 6:29 a.m.

Sunday, Nov. 3, according to Illinois State Police.

An ISP news release states District 18 troopers responded to investigate a fatal crash on Illinois Route 267 south of Gun Club Road in Macoupin County.

Police say Walker, driving a 2012 Ford

They were the only two involved in the accident.

The Macoupin County Coroner pronounced Droste dead at the scene of the accident, the news release stated. Jurrell was airlifted to Barnes Hospital with “serious injuries,� police say. The Illinois State Police Traffic Crash Reconstruction Unit is continuing the investigation and no further information is available at this time.

Of the decisions he has made, he said adoptions were the most rewarding. “Adoptions are always something you love to be a part of,� he said. “It’s one of the few times in court that you get to see joy— unmitigated joy.�

Even the tough decisions were made with the interest of the individual and community

in mind, he said. Speaking on cases wherein individuals were sentenced to drug treatment— if successful, he said, it could be very rewarding as well.

Pistorius has not made a decision yet as to where he will be practicing law, but he is looking forward to more time with spent with his family and traveling. “I love being a judge, and I love being an attorney,� he said.

Elections for the circuit court judgeship will be held in November 2020 with the filing period for candidates running from Nov. 25 through Dec. 2.

Report card (Continued from A1) guage Arts (ELA) and mathematics. In 2019, 48 percent of Jersey County students were proficient, with 41 percent meeting standards and 7 percent exceeding.

This is above the state’s average for 2019, which measured 38 percent of students in the state to be proficient in ELA. In math, Jersey County students also surpassed the state’s average of 32 percent proficiency. Thirty-six percent of students in the county were proficient in math, with 32 percent meeting standards and 4 percent exceeding.

The SAT scores in ELA show a slight decline in performance during 2019. This year’s report shows 36 percent of students were considered to be proficient in ELA, while in 2017 and 2018, the average was 40 percent. This year is on par with the state average of 37.

In mathematics, Jersey students showed slight improvement from last year’s results.

In 2018, 34 percent of students were considered proficient in mathematics, while in 2019, the total was 35 percent. Twenty-nine percent of students met standards and 6 percent exceeded standards during 2019. This is in line with the state, which saw 35 percent of students meet or exceed standards in mathematics.

The district saw enormous improvements in science proficiency from the previous two years. In 2017, science proficiency was measured at 44 percent and in 2018 it was 47 percent.

However, this year, 61 percent of students were considered science proficient.

Attributing the increase in science proficiency, Tuttle said, is difficult. The school via a committee dedicated many hours to researching the variety of Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) programs available in order to determine the best fit for students at each grade level.

At the elementary level, the Mystery Science and Picture Perfect science curriculums have been implemented.

Tuttle said the district had a head start on STEM programs beginning in the high school, and over the past three years, efforts have been made to ensure students in elementary school have a head start when it comes to science. “We’ve adopted some different science curriculum,� he said. “We are now trickling that all the way down to kindergarten.�

Graduation rates continue to be strong, with 2019 seeing 87 percent of students graduating Jersey Community High School within four years. In 2018, the total was 84 percent and in 2017, 86 percent.

Enrollment in tertiary institutions has dropped from 82 percent in 2018 to 70 percent in 2019. The factors which contribute to this difference are unknown and Tuttle said there are years like this wherein a pocket of students may not choose to attend college straight away.

However, 53.7 percent of seniors during the 20182019 school year attended early college courses such as Advanced Placement courses or dual credit courses.

94.6 percent of ninth graders in 2019 were considered to

be on track to graduate as compared to the state’s average of 86.6 percent. This is reflected in the achievements of the students themselves. “Two years in a row, we’ve had record numbers of Illinois Scholars,� Tuttle said.

What the numbers do not reflect are the skills students are not being tested on, such as drafting, construction, agriculture and welding amongst others. “It’s not just our core curriculum... we have an amazing D-wing program,� Tuttle said. “I really think we are educating our kids to have those soft skills.�

The opportunities, Tuttle said, are unlike anything the school has had before. These programs are even being attended by high schoolers in districts such as Southwestern with other districts also interested in participating.

Overall, the numbers are looking strong for Jersey County’s schools with the district being placed on the higher end of ‘Commendable.’ “This ‘Commendable’ designation is a result of our hard-working, caring staff,� said Tuttle.

Our VIEWS

Work on levee should be finished sooner

Phone (618) 498-1234 E-mail: circulation@ campbellpublications.net

The issue: The work on the Nutwood Levee has concluded for the year Our view: Vital work still needs to be done to prevent further damage

Publisher/Advertising Director: Nichole Liehr nliehr@campbellpublications.net

I

t is not an easy problem to fix.

Work to repair the damages made to the Nutwood Levee during this year’s flooding is unmistakably complicated. That is understandable.

However, we have concerns like those from residents near the levee that the latest news coming out spells the potential for trouble come spring.

The Army Corps of Engineers has wrapped up work for the year on the Nutwood Levee following the completion of a coffer dam to protect the breach site, which has yet to be repaired.

The first contract, which as of Thursday has been completed, saw the filling in of the scour holes, the building of the coffer dam and an assessment of the damage to the levee.

The scour holes were enormous pits located under and around the levee where the floodwaters dug out soil and sediment. The coffer dam, which has now been completed, is a large structure put in place as a temporary measure to stabilize the levee and protect the breach site, which is estimated to be around 300-yards wide.

The idea is this will give the Corps time to seek out materials at a lower cost to complete the rest of the work, which includes filling in the rest of the scour holes and address the levee’s breach site.

Even with the coffer dam protection, the unfinished work leaves nearby residents and us concerned about floodwaters from rain and snowmelt.

Many on social media are calling on workers to continue, and we can’t help but agree.

Comments by officials from the Army Corps suggest they will be there should a problem arise, but it feels more like a “when” and not an “if,” so it seems to only make sense to continue work to ensure the area is not dealing with even more recovery and cleanup. Area residents are still grappling with the damages of the last flood.

We are all in support of looking for lower-cost materials, but cost should not trump the interest of safety, [interest?] which is already slim if this year’s flood damage is any indication.

Those online are feeling abandoned by the Army Corps. While we don’t believe the decision is malicious in intent, it is hard to argue that the feeling is not valid.

Residents are concerned about the potential for another flood once the snow melts and the rains begin Most worrying is the fact that the coffer dam stands roughly 6 ft below the height of the levee.

On Facebook, many are arguing for the work to continue, viewing the Corps as having abandoned their duties.

Similar concerns about materials for the levee repairs have come up in the previous months, with the Corps importing sand from Louisiana, Mo. No comment was received about the reasoning by the Corps Farmers are confused, as they had expected the Corps to remove some of the sand from the fields along the levee - this is in line with conversations the levee district had with the Corps The cost of removal will be enormous, and it is already impacting on next year’s planing with Levee District President, Rick DeVerger stating that they will not be able to plant those fields in the next year

YOUR VIEWS Kindness is still apparent in our youth TO THE EDITOR: The police cars were stationed at all the stop lights and stop signs as the slow-moving cars passed through.

The hearts of the people in the cars were full of sadness and grief. Before them was the hearse driving their husband, father, grandfather, relative and friend to his final resting place. As the cars moved through town, with their heavy-hearted passengers, they came to a school, (East Elementary School).

There, the children were out to play. As the occupants lifted their sad eyes an amazing sight was before them. There stood the children with their hands over their hearts in salute to the pacing cars. What an amazing thing to see.

They felt honor was given to this man that they loved so dearly.

Oh, how it touched each one as they passed through. Those precious children had no idea that this man, who had loved children, would have been touched deeply by the sight they made.

So many times, we look around and wonder what happened to this generation that there doesn’t seem to be any respect for others. Everyone seems to be wrapped up in their phones and computers that they have forgotten the healing touch of human kindness.

Yet, here that kindness was out in full.

So, we want to thank those precious children (and those who taught them) that their thoughtfulness was noticed and greatly appreciated. What a wonderful gift they gave us.

History of Veterans Day is rich V

eterans Day pays tribute to and thanks all American veterans who have honorably served in the military. Memorial Day, on the other hand, honors those who died while serving our country. Originally known as Armistice Day, the holiday was first observed Nov. 11, 1919, the first anniversary of the end of World War I. The date 11/11 reflects the fact that War 1 ended during the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month.

Congress declared Armistice Day a national holiday in 1938. Although WWI was once dubbed “The war to end all wars.” It sadly was not. In 1954, President Eisenhower changed the holiday’s name to Veterans Day to pay homage to those who served in World War II and Korea, as well as WWI veterans.

In the early ‘70s, Veterans Day underwent another change. Three years earlier, Congress had passed the Uniform Holiday Bill to give American workers a three-day weekend for a handful of federal holidays. One of those holidays was Veterans Day. When the bill went into effect in 1971, the annual observance of Veterans Day was changed from November 11 to the fourth Monday of October.

The change caused a great deal of confusion – and backlash. Several states simply refused to observe Veterans Day on any date but November 11.

Four years later, President Gerald Ford

signed a law Guest Column that returned Veterans Day BY BETH MCGLASSON to its original date. The law went into effect in 1978, and Veterans Day has been observed on November 11 ever since.

Locally, a wonderful a program to honor veterans is held each year at the Jersey Community High School and is open to the public. This year’s program was held Thursday morning and, as usual, was quite impressive. If you’ve never attended, be sure to watch for it next year.

Jerseyville also hosts a Veterans Day parade, which is immediately followed by a short program on the lawn of the Jersey County Courthouse. This year’s parade will begin at 10 a.m. this Saturday, Nov. 5. Please plan to attend and show your support of our veterans.

If you can’t attend either of those events, please take some time this week to remember the 18.2 million American veterans and think of the sacrifices they have made for our country.

Then, be sure to thank those you know for their service.

The Jersey County Historical Society salutes all our wonderful veterans.

A battle with a 4 a.m. burglar N

o, I did not have a burglar in my house at four o’clock Monday morning.

I was chasing a horsefly in the bathroom, banging around, trying to kill the darn thing, and my mother thought we had a burglar.

Lying in bed in the next room, awakened from a dead sleep, she could not figure out how I was managing to sleep through all the racket going on in the bathroom that early in the morning!

It so happened that it was the horsefly that woke me up at four o’clock in the morning, and I was chasing it. I got it locked into the bathroom, and had shut the door, armed with a flyswatter and ready to do battle. I did not have on my glasses and, was not quite awake myself, so I kept missing and hitting everything but the fly. My mother was in the spare bedroom, trying to be as quite as a mouse, hoping that the burglar banging around in the bathroom would go away and, wondering fearfully, just how she was going to get to her cell phone without attracting unwanted attention.

It wasn’t until I stunned the fly, smashed him, and yelled out, “I got him!” that Mom realized that the burglar in the bathroom was me, and that it was okay to come out.

It’s a funny story now.

We call it our 4 a.m. burglar, but, in reality, it would have been very embarrassing if Mom had been able to reach her cell phone and dial 911 for a burglar that was a horsefly. I am not quite sure how I would have explained all of this to the police.

The good news is that the horsefly is dead.

The bad news is that I terrified my mother and probably woke up the neighbors with all of my banging around in the bathroom. After the fly was dead, Mom and I were both so awake that we could not fall back asleep. We got out of bed again around 5:00 a.m., and were up making ham and beans in the crock pot at 6:00 a.m. Needless to say, when we both fell into bed Monday night, we were exhausted. Horseflies are yucky, but going a full day without sleep is even worse.

I will say that having a horsefly in the house is not nearly as bad as having a mosquito in the

house. Horseflies Guest Column bite hard, but,

BY HEIDI MOORE you can usually hear them coming— not so with the tiny, Jerseyville mosquitoes. Where is a spider and spider’s web when I need one? Then again, I don’t like spiders in the house either, so what do you do? Mosquitoes are better at hiding than the horsefly, I might add. I killed one in my bedroom and the other in the kitchen. I hope I don’t see any more.

Mosquitoes bite and carry West Nile virus.

Horseflies bite too, but at least you get a fair chance. I don’t know which is more annoying. Thankfully, we’ve been able to catch all of them, and, thankfully enough, killing the mosquitoes did not require a flyswatter battle at 4 a.m.

I’ve noticed that the mosquitoes are particularly bad this year. I don’t know if it’s because of all the rain we’ve had, the standing water, the flooding…or a combination of all of it. I do know that I get ate alive if I sit outside on my patio, so I haven’t been able to enjoy being outside this year. I’m hoping with the cold weather on its way that it will kill off all of the flies, mosquitoes and viruses before they have a chance to make people sick— or wake them up and terrify the mother.

That fly does make for a good story. I will give him that. And, he was sneaky and fast and able to hide—even in the bathroom. Mom and I laughed about it later. When we were both awake enough to see the humor in the situation, we both felt like laughing., which I might add, did not happen at 4 a.m., but, then again, I doubt the horsefly was laughing either.

Savor the memories, is all I can say.

Even if that memory includes an elusive horsefly in the bathroom. You never know when an annoying, pesky fly might become a great vacation story—or an article for the Journal.

Oh, and take care not to frighten your mother.

He was born in Jerseyville on Dec. 29, 1960, and was the fifth of six children born to Leroy and Margie (Schaaf) Dilks.

Kevin was a Jersey County resident his entire life, and graduated in 1978 from Jersey Community High School. His work experiences were varied, and included time spent in the maintenance departments at both Jersey Community Hospital and Alton Square Mall. For many years, he utilized his excellent mechanic skills at U-Haul in Florissant, Mo., until his failing health took over.

He was well know throughout the Demolition Derby circuit, as he participated in numerous county fairs and exhibitions for nearly 27 years. His passion for being a part of the Derby family was passed on to his two sons, and Kevin cherished the many friendships he made.

Kevin was a guy who always possessed a smile and would assist anyone in need. His family, was first and foremost, the most important part of his life, with his cat, Scoobie, running a close second.

He married the former Christine Chambers on April 12, 1991 at the Faith Lutheran Church in Godfrey, Illinois, and their 28 year marriage was blessed with

two sons and a grandson.

Surviving are his wife, Christine Dilks of Jerseyville; two sons, Christopher Dilks of Jerseyville, and Justin Dilks, and his companion, Kaitlyn Gunning of Delhi; a grandson, Colton John Dilks; a sister and brother in-law, Connie and Richard Lott of Jerseyville; three brothers and a sister in-law, Ronald Dilks of Jerseyville, Randy Dilks of Jerseyville, and Bill and Pam Dilks of Grafton; along with numerous nieces and nephews, and host of good friends.

He was raised in Grafton, Illinois and graduated from Jersey Community High School.

Jim worked as a welder, pipe fitter, electrician, and boilermaker for many years, but his final and favorite job was working as an HVAC technician at McKendree University where he made many friends and was the recipient of the Martin Luther King, Jr. Humanitarian Award for his dedication to helping students who live far from home. According to the students who nominated him, Jim served as a surrogate “father” to them and not only offered advice but oftentimes purchased food for them and helped them find furniture, clothing, and computers. Jim spent his life working hard and making friends wherever he went.

He always greeted people with a huge smile on his face, he maintained a personal relationship with our Lord, and he was always willing to help others in need. Jim’s other passions included spending time with family, caring for his beloved pets, riding motorcycles, and just being a good friend to many. Jim’s true joy, however, was spending time with his daughter and grandsons.

Surviving are his daughter, Heather Weirich of Gillespie, his two grandsons, David

“But if they pass that bill, if you own a gun, you’d have to be fingerprinted,” Flowers said. “So they’re taking legal, lawabiding citizens and trying to make criminals out of them with silly laws.”

He was among hundreds of gun owners gathered in Springfield on Tuesday, Oct. 29, to oppose Senate Bill 1966, which would increase the fees for FOID cards and require fingerprints.

The bill does not have enough votes so far to pass the Illinois Senate.

Springfield resident John Woodside said the measure would put additional burden on gun owners who follow the law while doing nothing to criminals.

“If I have to have fingerprints for that, then I’d probably be moving out of state,” Woodside said.

The measure passed the House in the spring.

Supporters said it would help the Illinois State Police to keep guns out of the hands of criminals. The increased fees would partly go to help state police confiscate revoked FOID cards.

Senate President John Cullerton, D-Chicago, said the votes weren’t yet there

to pass it out of the Senate and onto the governor’s desk.

“That bill would be in a position to require 36 votes, which I don’t think we have today,” Cullerton said.

But it wasn’t just the fingerprinting bill lawmakers may have in mind. Gun owners also have other proposed gun regulations in their sights.

Athens resident Craig Stevens said he’s concerned about so-called assault weapons bans.

“And those would take folks who are legitimate and law-abiding and it would turn them into criminals,” Stevens said.

Supporters of banning certain weapons have said it’s necessary for public safety. Lawmakers could bring forward such measures in the Spring.

The man who killed five people at an Aurora warehouse earlier this year got a FOID card after lying about a previous felony conviction in another state.

He bought a gun after that application was approved.

Illinois State Police later revoked the man’s FOID card in 2014 when he applied for a concealedcarry permit, which included fingerprints to speed up the application process.

Illinois State Police rejected his concealed-carry application because the fingerprints submitted with that application flagged the man’s 1995 felony conviction in Mississippi. The man didn’t relinquish his FOID card or gun. ISP later reported there were more than 10,000 revocations in 2018, many of which were never confiscated.

Birthdays

Birth

FRIENDS & NEIGHBORS Mary Helen (Bock) Loy is celebrating her 85th birthday on Nov. 28, 2019

Born in 1934 in Godfrey, Mrs. Loy attended Godfrey and Brighton public schools and would eventually raise her own family in the Alton area before moving to Jerseyville in 1976. She spent many years as a successful Avon sales representative in the Alton area before accepting employment in the dietary department at Jersey Community Hospital in Jerseyville. After 10 years at the Jerseyville facility, Mrs. Loy then worked in the dietary department at Saint Anthony’s Health Center in Alton, retiring in 1999.

She enjoyed 16 years of marriage with her late husband, Frank Edward Loy, before he passed in March 2012. The Loys made their home in Kane during much of their marriage, also residing in Medora and Jerseyville. It was during their time residing in the Medora area that Mrs. Loy also had the added opportunity to serve as a school bus monitor for Southwestern School District, a job she loved dearly.

Hardwick celebrates 90 years

Welcome, baby Archie Joshua Shaw and Lexi Swan of Jerseyville welcomed a son, Archie Charles David Shaw, at 6:07 a.m. Sept.

Julius Hardwick will celebrate his 90th birthday on Nov. 7. He was honored at a family celebration on Nov. 3 at Santino’s in Alton. Those in attendance included his two sons, his sister, three cousins and 32 nieces and nephews.

Bo Randell Griffith turned 1 Sept. 5 and celebrated with family at his house with a One Little Monster- themed party.

Bo’s parents are Trent and Kara Griffith of Jerseyville. Grandparents are Randy and Tina Hutchens, Glen and Sissi Griffith, all of Jerseyville. Bo’s great grandparent is Jeanette Herring of Jerseyville.

Her children include Melissa (Kevin) Meske of Bunker Hill; Jill Delp of Jerseyville; Bill (Tina) Crockett of Centralia, Mo., Rebecca Crockett of Tucson, Ariz.; Sandy Seagraves of Elgin; Cathy Island of Dallas, Texas; Alan Crockett of Alton; David Crockett of Austin, Texas; and Dan (Katie) Crockett of Carlinville. She also has 21 grandchildren, 3 step-grandchildren, and numerous great-grandchildren.

A card shower is being hosted in the weeks before Mrs. Loy’s birthday on Nov. 28. Family, friends, acquaintances, former neighbors and co-workers – anyone who would like to share in the celebration – are invited to join in.

Cards, photos, notes and well-wishes are all welcome, and can be mailed to Mrs. Loy in care of her daughter Melissa.

Jerseyville philanthropic chapter celebrates 150 years of PEO On Jan. 21, 2019, Philanthropic Educational Organization (PEO) celebrated the 150th birthday of International Chapter of the PEO Sisterhood.

Chapter GB in Jerseyville joined the other 230,000 current members of PEO from nearly 6,000 chapters across the United States and Canada in celebrating the milestone.

Since its inception in 1869, the nonprofit organization has helped more than 105,000 women pursue educational goals by providing more than $321 million in grants, scholarships, awards and loans and the stewardship of Cottey College. The PEO Sisterhood brought together nearly a half a million women in the US and Canada with interest in helping women

advance through education while supporting and motivating them.

It started with a bond between 7 women in Mt. Pleasant, Iowa, is now one of the oldest women’s organizations in the North America.

“The PEO members in Jerseyville stand on the shoulders of the generations of PEO sisters who came before us,” Melanie Wieland, president of Chapter GB, said.

“They were dedicated to the mission of women supporting women, just as we are today. And it is a cause that will continue to be relevant for the next 150 years.”

Chapter GB has been a part of the Jerseyville landscape for 75 years, celebrating its anniversary in April of this year.

Attendees wait for wine at the Wine Festival over the weekend at the Pere Marquette State Park Lodge.

News items from the pages of Jersey County Journal 5 Years Ago Nov. 5, 2014 Jeff Kadell will miss almost everything about working at the Jerseyville Street Department, except plowing the streets in the winter time. His last day on the job will be Dec. 19, which could come early enough to avoid dealing with any significant snow fall.

Kadell joined the street department in June 1972, as an 18-year-old. He spent the next two decades cleaning ditches, laying down blacktop, trimming trees, doing concrete work, hanging street-side decorations and, all the while, working his way to the top. He was promoted to the position of superintendent in the early 1990s, and has been head of the department ever since. But, after 42 years serving the city in which he was raised, Kadell decided it was time to step away from the job. He’s confident the department will be in good hands.

Voters shot down the school facilities sales tax for the second time in Jersey County with a vote of 4,144 to 3,875. School districts claimed the additional revenue would help improve facilities safety and pay down facility bond debt, but detractors said the added tax would hurt the poorest in the community.

Contrary to the outcome in Jersey County, surrounding counties approved the sales tax measure. In similar fashion to Greene County where the measure was approved in a 2,281 to 1,973 vote, the Calhoun County voters approved the sales tax measure with 1,130 votes to 824.

10 Years Ago Nov. 4, 2009 Jersey Community High School junior Sydney Norman had no idea that her oneday carwash back in August would help provide 5,000 elementary school students in the Philippines with clean drinking water. “I just wanted to do something proactive to help with international clean water initiative,” she said. “I had no idea we could raise enough money to fund an entire project.” But Norman, with the help of about a dozen classmates, raised over $700 at their August fundraiser, and that amount proved enough to fund a Rotary International water project in the remote island city of Navotes, the Philippines.

Jersey County Circuit Judge Eric Pistorius ruled Monday that a man who was indicted on a first degree murder charge in the death of his father was unfit to stand trial at this time. Mark L. Prough, 44, along with his attorney, Scott Schultz, appeared in Jersey County Circuit Court Monday at which time Judge Pistorius, after reviewing the findings of Dr. John Rabun, the St. Louis forensic psychiatrist who evaluated Prough regarding his ability to stand trial, stated that Prough is unfit to stand trial at this time. The judge ordered that Prough be remanded to the custody of the Director of the Department of Human Services to be held in a secure treatment facility with a treatment program to be initiated.
