The event brought thousands together across the world to say a prayer for the young Jerseyville boy battling cancer.

Community joins in prayer vigil for Jonny Wade

By MARk PACE Jersey County Journal

T

he community’s outpouring of support for a local 7-year-old battling brain cancer showed as thousands participated in a prayer vigil for Jonny Wade last week.

The prayer vigil took place at 7 p.m. Oct. 28 and an estimated 700 to 1,000 people met at Jersey Community High School before walking a block to the family’s house to pray for the family. Others unable to attend in person stopped what they were doing at 7 p.m. to join in prayer. Many posted to the Facebook page letting the family know they have wide-reaching support.

The event was organized by Tara Mueller, 39 of Jerseyville, who got to know the family from their son’s ball team which Wade

Wrestling rouses Susnig Center Friday evening

By BOB CROSSEN Jersey County Journal There will be screaming and shouting Friday night at the Susnig Center, but it will all be in good fun for the wrestling competitors taking to the ring.

For the second year in a row, the Jerseyville Parks and Recreations Department is hosting a family-friendly wrestling event at the Susnig Center in Jerseyville.

Ben Bishop, event organizer, said the first event last April was a major success for the department – close to 400 people attended – and he hopes Friday’s festivities can more excitement to the community gymnasium.

“We were surprised at how big it turned out to be,” Bishop said. “So then it became something we thought could benefit the community.”

Bishop said half of the earnings from Friday night’s spectacle will be given to JPRD

for children’s programs.

If as many people show up for the second show as the first, Bishop said the amount could do a great deal in promoting the public programs.

In the vein of WWE and other entertainment wrestling shows, Bishop said the event aims to entertain its audience, albeit with a family tone.

“They don’t come down and do all the violent things that some guys do, and they don’t use language in the ring,” Bishop said. “So it’s really a good family entertainment deal.”

Because JPRD is using it to bring money to children’s programs, he said making the event more adult-oriented did not seem appropriate.

And by keeping it family-friendly, he hopes the wrestling ring will draw better and more entertained crowds.

Attendees each have their own wrestler for which they root, he (See, wreStling, A2)

By BOB CROSSEN Jersey County Journal The Southwestern CUSD 9 School Board approved to sell a wireless controller and 50 desktop computer monitors to the Carlinville School District.

Superintendent Brad Skertich said the district updated its computers, including monitors, and wireless controller. Rather than trash the old equipment, Skertich said the board sought to sell it to another dis- “We had some trict looking for desktops that those items.

“We added seven or eight wireless access years old.” points throughout the high Brad Skertich school and when we did that our Superintendent old controller could not handle the amount we needed, so we purchased a new controller to be able to have all the necessary access points at the high school,” Skertich said.

The flat screen monitors used throughout the district were still good, he said, but the dated desktop computer hardware posed issues for the district as it continues steps toward improved technology.

“We had some desktops that we replaced because they were around seven or eight years old,” Skertich said, “but the flat screen monitors were in great shape. … We sold that there to get rid of some surplus property.”

Following a closed session to discuss negotiations, Skertich said the board also approved a two-year contract agreement between Unit 9 and the Educators Support Personnel Association. It also approved the 2015-2016 non-union salaries.

In other business, the district: n Approved the employment of Chelsea Kroeschel as a teacher’s aide, effective Sept. 24; Brooke Slatton, special education teacher, effective Oct. 26; Jason Darr as fourth grade flag football activity club sponsor; and Susan Ruyle as fifth and sixth grade art activity club sponsor. n Recognized Billie Jo Gilliam for her efforts in the 2015-2016 Illinois Art Education Association.

Benefit seeks exposure increase for CASA

By BOB CROSSEN Campbell Publications Into its third year, the Taste of the Tri County at Jerseyville Carpet and Furniture aims to benefit Child Appointed Special Advocates, a program aimed at curbing abuse or

neglect of foster children.

Jersey County CASA is one of 36 offices for the non-profit agency in Illinois. It covers 29 children in foster care, 24 of whom have special advocates.

“That’s very unusual,” Bonnie Hindelang, Jersey County CASA director, said. “We’re

really lucky to have a CASA in as small of a community as we are.”

Three years ago, Hindelang, part-time CASA executive director, said CASA was looking for a new way to raise money for its program. With (See, CASA, A2)

(Continued from A1) son, and she was receptive to the idea, Mueller added.

“They loved the idea.

When we presented the idea to Kimberly, she felt the community needed this as much as Jonny needed their prayers, because people have come to love him and are so drawn by his story and his faith in God,” Mueller said. “It showed true that night with how many people came out to join in. That’s something that is extra special about Jonny and his story. His faith in God, even through everything he is going through, hasn’t been lost.”

The Jersey County Sheriff’s Department provided support for the event last Wednesday, directing traffic as attendees crossed State Street from the high school to the Wade’s house.

Jonny was diagnosed with Medulloblastoma, a form of brain cancer, last year.

His story gained worldwide attention through a Facebook page, Project Team Jonny, started by his sister.

The page gained more than 40,000 “likes” from people

awaiting posts from Wade’s mother, Kimberly, updating followers about her son’s battle since its creation last December.

A spinal tap came back positive for cancer Jan. 13, and he began radiation treatment.

The cancer was thought to have been gone after months of treatment, but returned Oct. 16, according to a post on the Project Team Jonny Facebook page.

The youngster has had good and bad days throughout October – has suffered seizures and was placed on a ventilator at times – but the family continues to push forward through their religious faith and the continuous prayers of many posting to the Project Team Jonny Facebook page.

The battle has featured wide swings of emotion as Wade’s health has improved only to see further setbacks. He’s been the guest of parades, flipped the coin prior to a St. Louis Rams game and thrown out a first pitch at a Cardinals game, always with his brother Jacky at his side.

CASA

(Continued from A1) little funding from the government and grants, outside revenue from fundraisers has become a key for survival of the Jersey County branch.

With the nearest CASA offices located in Quincy or Madison County, Hindelang said the Jersey office deals with much of the surrounding area – Calhoun, Green, Pike and Scott counties to name a few.

And since the event’s inception, growth has been rapid in spite of the snow blanketing the streets during the first few events. This year’s Taste of the Tri-County will feature 15 food purveyors, an increase from the humble five three years ago, live music and a raffle.

“We started it three years ago in December … and it started as ladies night out. But we realized we’re excluding a large part of our community,” Hindelang said. “We’re hoping to make this our only fundraiser instead of having three or four little fundraisers. … We need Jersey County citizens to come out and support us.”

While the main goal of the event is funding for the program, Hindelang said it also serves to increase exposure for CASA. Many people, she said, are unaware exactly what the office does and why it is so important to the community.

Hindelang said she coordinates volunteer advocates who check on children in foster homes. While the Department of Family and Children Services provides some oversight, the Jerseyville CASA director said her advocates provide another layer of protection.

“People don’t realize these children are out there,” Hindelang said. “I have 13 volunteers that are trained advocates from the Jersey County community.”

The volunteers are appointed by judges to watch over and advocate for abused and neglected children. They follow the cases until they are closed, making sure the children are not lost in the shuffle of bureaucracy.

The organization was started in 1977 in Seattle when a juvenile court judge was confronted with making decisions about the welfare of children with too little information. Since then, the network has grown to include almost 1,000 offices recruiting volunteers to advocate for children.

With each passing event, Hindelang said more and more people are made aware of CASA’s efforts. If one person is touched enough to volunteer, she said it can be a major help for the organization locally.

“They go through training and extensive background checks,” Hindelang said. “I monitor, stay in very close contact with them and help them to make sure they don’t miss anything.”

The volunteers, she said, are not social workers, but rather are ordinary citizens volunteering to keep children safe in foster care environments.

Jersey County CASA can be reached by calling 618498-5571 extension 152.

Tickets to the Taste of the Tri-County are $20 at the door, and anybody is welcome to attend.

Doors open for the event sponsored by Jerseyville Carpet and Furniture Galleries in Jerseyville at 5 p.m. Nov. 5. Goetten’s Oasis in Carrollton, Mulligan’s West in Jerseyville, Peace of Kiche in Grafton, State Street Bar and Grill in Jerseyville, Sinclair Food Mart, The White Spot, BB’s Bar and Grill, Ginger Bean Baker in Medora, Grafton Winery and Brewhaus, Hansen Meat Packing, DJ’s Pub and Grill, Los Tres Amigos and Aunt Bee’s Cupboard and Catering from Madison County are all featured restaurants.

Donnewald Distributing will provide wine and beer, as well.

“No one is going to leave hungry. That’s a guarantee.

There was more food last year than we could eat,” Hindelang said, “and we had 100 people last year.”

Wrestling (Continued from A1) added, and children tend to get most involved with the show.

“The kids just got so into not only the matches and the show, but the characters,” Bishop said. “You’ve got your bad guys that come out and they’re saying, ‘Jerseyville sucks,’ and the kids would start booing them. And then the good guy would come out and save the day and the kids would be chanting their name.”

He said the atmosphere will be loud and fun for all who attend. Jerseyville native Bill Yates will take part in the event as he did during the first one.

Tickets for the event are available at the Susnig Center. Purchases before the day of the event are discounted.

Door tickets will be available.

Jerseyville names Got Faith? as official Santa helpers

By Mark Pace Jersey County Journal There’s a new Santa in town.

Got Faith? will serve as the official Santa Claus of Jerseyville. Jerseyville City Council gave the faith-based 501c3 a proclamation making the organization the city’s official Santa at the last city council meeting.

“We want to work something out,” Jerseyville Mayor Billy Russell said when the idea was first proposed to city council in September. “You do a lot of good for the community, and I think this could be a good thing.”

The proclamation does not prohibit others from bringing Santa to their events without the help of the organization, but it does make Got Faith? available across the city to fill the holiday needs.

Santa is already booked for the season with about 15 appearances scheduled across Jersey County. He will start his appearances Nov. 28 at World Finance in Jerseyville from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. and will end the season Dec. 18 with a surprise visit before returning to the North Pole to ready for Christmas Eve. Got Faith? Coordinator Steve Pegram made the organization available in September during a meeting and was proclaimed Jerseyville’s Santa Claus during the Oct. 27 meeting.

The organization is also accepting letters to send to Santa. The organization is asking those who would like Santa to receive a letter to send a self addressed stamped envelope with the letter to: Got Faith?

Roodhouse approves enterprise zone By carMen enSinGer Jersey County Journal Roodhouse City Council unanimously approved entering into an agreement with the city of Jerseyville to become a part of a proposed enterprise zone which will offer incentives to businesses wanting to locate within this zone.

Roodhouse was the last municipality in Greene County to approve inclusion into the zone. Carrollton and White Hall unanimously approved it while Greene County approved it in a 4-2 vote.

Jerseyville city attorney Bill Strang, on behalf of the enterprise zone, addressed the council at the Oct. 28 meeting explaining its concept.

“What is going to happen is that the city would place certain property within the

city limits into the zone and then if a business wishes to locate on this property or improvements are made to the property by the current business owner or subsequent owner, then building materials used in this construction or improvement would be exempt from sales tax,” Strang said.

He said Jerseyville was taking the lead in paying up front for everything in regards to getting the enterprise zone drawn up and submitted. The zone can include up to 15 square miles of property or 9,600 acres.

“There are some pretty exciting opportunities coming this way the entire region could benefit from,” Strang said. “The city of Jerseyville has been working with Kansas City Southern railroad company on possibly having a rail yard located in

Jersey County.”

According to Strang, the facility would be a multimodal terminal where they would offload the trucks and be able to move the freight rapidly.

“The city has approached them in the past but over the last few months the Jerseyville Mayor Bill Russell has decided this is something we should run with,” Strang said. “One of the other parts is that Corridor 67 has been moved up from Delhi to Crystal Lake Road which is near to where they are talking about putting the rail yard. This is a very pivotal part because it would allow those trucks to get in and out quicker.”

Strang said ultimately he thought it would be a good thing for Roodhouse and their own rail yard.

“I think it will allow for some recovery back to the

day when there was a lot going on here,” he said.

“This is the kind of thing that if you are visionary enough and you go over a long enough period of time and project it out there – there will be a lot of jobs.

And when Corridor 67 finally gets through here, I could see people wanting to continue to live in the town they grew up in and won’t have to go out of the area for a good paying job.”

While both White Hall and Carrollton were charged $6,000 to be included in the zone, payable over a two year period at $3,000 per year, Roodhouse’s fee would be $3,000 to be paid at a rate of $1,000 per year for three years beginning in 2016. Strang explained that Roodhouse would not have as much property included in the zone.

OCC collection sites open Nov. 16 for world’s largest Christmas project n Local volunteers join Samaritan’s Purse to collect 15,800 shoebox gifts for children in poverty overseas This month, locations in the Jerseyville area will serve as collection sites for Operation Christmas Child—the world’s largest Christmas project of its kind. The annual Samaritan’s Purse project is a favorite of many Jerseyville residents, families, churches and groups who spread joy to millions of children around the world

by filling shoeboxes with a “Wow!” item—like a doll or soccer ball—other fun toys, school supplies, hygiene items and notes of encouragement.

"Through the simple act of filling a shoebox, someone in Jerseyville can make a tangible difference in the life of a child halfway around the world. Anyone can par-

ticipate and bring joy to a child facing difficult circumstances," said Regional Director Joe Christian.

During National Collection Week, Nov. 16 – 23, Jerseyville residents hope to contribute more than 15,800 gift-filled shoeboxes from surrounding counties to the 2015 global goal of reaching 11 million chil-

dren in need.

First Assembly of God at 500 Cross Ave., in Jerseyville is a local drop off site Monday, Nov. 16 through Thursday, Nov. 19 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., Friday, Nov. 20 from 1 p.m. to 2:30 p.m., Sunday, Nov. 22 from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. and Monday, Nov. 23 from 9 a.m. to 10:30 a.m.

Illinois on forefront of daily fantasy sports regulation

By Mark Pace Campbell Publications Proposed legislation aims to regulate daily fantasy sports in Illinois. If passed, the legislation would be the first of its kind in the U.S. Illinois House Bill 4323 would regulate the gaming in the state but not ban it. The bill is sponsored by Mike Zalewski (D, Summit) and co-sponsored by John Anthony (R, Morris).

“We have some very clear parameters laid out in the statute,” Zalewski said in a phone interview with a Campbell Publications reporter. “This is a popular technology that a lot of people are playing, and we want them to continue to play, but we want the best practices to be in place.”

Daily fantasy sports are a spin of the popular season-long fantasy leagues hosted across the world. Instead of drafting and managing a team for a season, users enter lineups for each round of games in a database with a large number of users. The different sites offering the game have big money prizes consisting of leagues with thousands of people and smaller leagues with less payouts.

Concern for daily fantasy sports came to a forefront last month when employees at one company, DraftKings, used insider information to win big on another site, Fanduel. The companies deny insider trading or wrongdoing but have since forbidden employees from playing daily fantasy sports alltogether. The proposed legislation does not touch on issues of insider trading, rather, electing to allow the sites and the federal government to monitor that aspect of the companies.

The two leading sites, DraftKings and FanDuel launched in 2012 and 2009, respectively, and have grown due to an aggressive advertising strategy which dumped more than $300 million in ad dollars into the market. The two mega-companies currently hold about 95 percent of the daily fantasy sports market. The sites are backed by

or partner with several major companies and leagues, including the NBA, Fox Sports, Time Warner Investments, 21st Century Fox, NFL teams, Google Capital and others.

The companies have seen the aggressive advertising pay off. Eilers Research gaming analyst Adam Krejcik estimated daily fantasy sports entry fees to reach $3.7 billion this year in a research report cited by the Las Vegas Review-Journal. Others analysts and economists have similar projections.

Illinois’ regulation would limit players but would not restrict most users from taking part in the growing industry. If passed, it would prevent players from what legislators see as overplaying, allow daily fantasy sites to check players for child support or tax liens and promote standards for audits of the operators. It would also prohibit anyone under the age of 18 from participating.

The state legislation comes before any national ban or regulation is in place. While Zalewski realized national regulation could follow, he said he wasn’t going to sit and wait for the national government to pass a bill while the game goes unrestricted in Illinois.

“I do hope there’s federal legislation,” Zalewski said. “I never bet that the federal government or Congress is going to beat Illinois on passing a bill everyone can agree on. I hope there is federal legislation, but I’m not depending on it.”

While Illinois is at the forefront of regulation, it would not be the first state to pass a bill regarding daily fantasy sports. That claim goes to Nevada which voted to ban the industry in early-October.

The Nevada Gaming Control Board defined daily fantasy sports as sports gambling in its state law, making it illegal. Other states, New Jersey and Pennsylvania, followed Illinois’ lead and are proposing similar regulations.

One important aspect to Illinois’ legislation is its attempt to define daily fantasy sports. The definition for “fantasy contest” in the legislation is broken

into four parts. It defines the game as one in which participants receive money or prizes, winnings are made known in advance, the outcome reflects knowledge and skill and the outcome is not based on one player or team.

The definition of the game differentiates it from gambling, making it legal.

That definition gets tricky when comparing daily fantasy sports with other more regulated money-makers based on both luck and skill. For instance, Texas Hold ‘Em poker is labeled as gambling in the state but daily fantasy sports or the stock market are not.

“I wish I could answer that question well, but frankly, the federal government should regulate in a way that makes sense so state lawmakers don’t have to,” Zalewski said.

The regulation would impact players across the state, but for many players, such as local resident Ryan Klaas it’s impact won’t change the way they play.

Klaas, like many, is over 18 years of age and plays in the smaller leagues with $1, $2 and $5 entry fees. The proposed legislation would limit who can play the game but does not impact most of the users for the sites. Klaas puts a lot of research into the decisions and says the knowledge and research that go into daily fantasy differentiates it from gambling.

“Fantasy sports really does differ a lot from any kind of gambling,” Klaas said. “There’s a lot of research that goes into it, and if you’re just someone that steps off the street and sets a lineup, you’re not going to have a whole lot of success … I wouldn’t support an all-out ban, but if it’s regulations, I wouldn’t see any problem with that. It does take skill to win in daily fantasy sports … but I’m okay with what they’re doing. “ The bill has been proposed, and a vote is expected in the spring, Zalewski said.

“We have to get through the budget first,” he said. “That should be our top priority, and then we will move this in the legislatures spring session.”

Businesses, city team up to improve Grafton

By Mark Pace Jersey County Journal The city of Grafton and local businesses are in discussions to partner together to revitalize downtown.

The c i t y ’s Development and Comprehensive Plan Committee, consisting of the city’s alderpersons, presented an idea to local business owners at an Oct. 27 meeting about a possible 50/50 grant.

Under the proposal, the city would match funds with businesses for improvement projects.

“I feel it’s a great program, and I certainly know that the business community is buying into it,” Grafton Mayor Tom Thompson said. “The main emphasis seems to be, there’s a lot of work to be done, but to emphasize the façade on historic Main Street.”

Grafton’s main drag is listed on the state’s historical register, and the city and businesses are looking to restore that historical look. The grant program would give business owners grants to improve their properties.

The purpose of the meeting was to gather information about the possibility of the programs implementation.

The program would use TIF funds matched by businesses to revive Main Street.

Local business owners echoed the excitement of city officials about the possibility.

“I think this is a good thing,” Sharon Harrison, owner of Harrison’s Gifts in Grafton, said. “I think the downtown area needs some upgrades. Whether it’s business or residential that lives along here, I think it’s a good thing to try to improve our town.”

Harrison said she is interested in using the program to help improve her storefront.

Even some who do not plan to use the grants

spoke of the importance improving the city’s visuals.

“The 50/50 is a common part of many TIF district,” attorney and Grafton business owner Bill Strang said. “I think it’s a great idea.”

Strang owns Piasa Pub which recently underwent renovations. However, he is in favor of the proposal and hopes others follow suit. Strang serves as Jerseyville’s city attorney and said the city could eventually follow Grafton’s lead and establish the program, as well.

“Most of the time, these are done in more mature districts, such as Grafton, that have been around a lot longer than Jerseyville’s,” Strang said. “Right now, Jerseyville doesn’t have much cash in its fund because they are so new and there hasn’t been much incremental tax going into the fund.”

Details of the partnership are still being determined and parameters will be set on exactly how much money is available for the program and what the funds can be used for.

No new private construction will qualify for the grant, if approved, but most other upgrades are eligible.

The committee left with a plan to examine details regarding the partnership. Grafton Treasurer Bob Smith was assigned to determine if funds are available and, if so, how much could be used for the projects.

Committee members will determine if they are interested in the program and prepare guidelines that should be established and priorities for selection. The committee asked businesses to present possible grant requests and estimate costs for projects.

If the tasks are completed in time, the plan is to make a recommendation at the regular city council meeting Dec. 15.

Neighborly empathy defines our community

Publisher and Editor: Julie Boren

T

he community in Jersey County rallies around its people. When a family is having a rough go of things, we rally the troops to lift them up.

That was never more evident than it was last Wednesday when a massive group of people gathered to pray for Jonny Wade and his family at their Jerseyville home.

Since last December, Jonny’s story has gained national attention. He was diagnosed with brain cancer which was thought to have left after radiation treatment, but just recently, the disease returned.

Times have been hard for the Wade family and our hearts are with them along with many others in Jersey County and surrounding communities.

His fight has inspired people in neighboring counties to host benefits or give the family a day to remember. He’s flipped the coin prior to a St. Louis Rams game and thrown out a first pitch during a St. Louis Cardinals game.

Professional athletes have visited him to liven his spirits, as well.

Those happy moments are also a reminder to us that how we respond to the need in our community is how we are defined.

And if that’s the case, Jersey County and its surrounding communities are generous souls with deep faith and an empathy for their neighbors.

Sometimes we lose sight of that or we overlook those around us to focus on ourselves.

But in trying times, when it really counts, we stand together.

YOUR VIEWS Wants traffic signal at Carpenter and Liberty TO THE EDITOR: My grandson goes to Illini Middle School with approximately 450 other students. There are at least 30 students that have to walk or ride their bikes to and from school and have to cross that busy highway at 7:30 a.m. and again at 3:15

p.m. At that time there is a lot of traffic on Carpenter and also on Liberty. I think because if any child is injured by being struck by a car while trying to cross that busy highway, the town of Jerseyville needs to put in a traffic signal with walk and do not walk buttons. With this installation the students would have a safe way to cross the highway going to school and also coming home from school.

Amaryllis for the holidays O

ne of the more lovely plants to use for holiday decorations is the amaryllis. There is an interesting myth that goes along with this plant.

Legend says that the Amaryllis, the beautiful, red flower used as a Christmas decoration, began as a shy, introverted nymph. Amaryllis fell deeply in love with Alteo, a shepherd with the strength of Hercules and as handsome as Apollo.

Alteo paid no attention to her affections, as he only loved flowers. Hoping that she could win him over by bestowing upon him the thing he desired most, a flower so unique it had never existed in the world before, Amaryllis sought advice from the oracle of Delphi. The oracle instructed Amaryllis to dress in maiden’s white and to appear at Alteo’s door piercing her heart with a golden arrow. For 30 nights blood dripped before Alteo’s door, until finally on the spot where the blood had fallen, there was a large red flower with a wide open calyx. When Alteo opened his door, there before him was a striking crimson flower, sprung from the blood of Amaryllis’s heart. Alteo then kissed Amaryllis and named the flower with her name.

Today we find Amaryllis in a variety of colors from crimson to white to pinks and even greens. Some of them are combinations of colors and others bear double petaled blossoms.

The red, white and mul-

ticolored ones are very popular at Christmas. The plants are relatively easy to grow. At this time of the year you will see them for sale and many of them are inexpensive.

To grow an Amaryllis bulb you must begin with the right pot. Many of them will come with the proper sized pot when they are purchased. The pot must have a drainage hole and be about an inch or two wider than the size of the bulb. There should also be about two inches of soil beneath the bulb as well.

When the bulb eventually grows and flowers it can become top heavy so a heavier pot helps. If you do plant it in a plastic pot, it may need to be weighted in the bottom with some small stones before adding soil. The soil should be moist before placing it in the pot. Plant the bulb so the top third remains above the soil surface and pack soil all around the bulb.

Sometimes amaryllis come with a plastic pot and a soil, coir disk that must be hydrated. This disk is usually made from coconuts and will expand once it is soaked in water providing sufficient soil for planting the bulb. Then all you have to do is put the pot in a sunny location and water when the soil surface dries out. Soon the bulb will begin to produce slender leaves and in approximately eight to 12 weeks will bloom, depending on the variety. The plant will need to be watered more often during its growth period. If the plant begins

to lean, Guest you may Column need to stake it. BY BONNA Amaryllis DOWNEY blooms can be quite striking and make wonderful holiday decorations for tables, mantels and more. It is also possible to keep the bulb and plant it again next year. To do this, cut the stalks back once the plant has finished its bloom cycle to about an inch above the bulb.

Leave the bulb in its pot and continue to water and fertilize it with a liquid plant fertilizer. Sometimes it will sprout leaves during the spring and summer.

This feeds the bulb for next year’s bloom. Then in August stop watering and the leaves will begin to die. When the pot is completely dry, then remove the bulb from the pot and store the dormant bulb in a dark, cool, dry place for at least eight weeks. Eight to 12 weeks before you want blooms again, begin the potting process again.

Make sure to use a clean pot and new potting soil before planting. If you are using an old pot, sterilize it by soaking it in a 10 percent bleach solution then rinse the pot well and let it dry before planting. Some varieties of Amaryllis may begin blooming after being potted in only five weeks.

Regardless, Amaryllis are quite easy to grow and enjoy for the holidays.

War, sacrifice and America’s veterans While we can all rejoice this Veterans Day that the steady flow of U.S. casualties in Iraq and Afghanistan has slowed to a trickle, we must never forget the incredible sacrifice that America’s defenders continue to make on our behalf.

Such is the case of Master Sergeant Joshua Wheeler, who died leading a Delta Force rescue mission of ISIS hostages held in Iraq on Oct. 22.

A veteran of 14 combat deployments, his sacrifice is shared by four boys who are now fatherless and his wife, who became a widow far too early. But another important part of his legacy are the 70 hostages who were spared brutal executions by an enemy that is as ruthless as any that America has faced.

The willingness to face pain and death so others can be spared isn’t unique to just the fallen. Consider the case of two American veterans and their longtime friend when they bravely stopped a terrorist attack aboard a train bound for Paris this summer.

Airman First Class Spencer Stone, Army Specialist Alek Skarlatos and Anthony Salder could have run from the danger when a heavily armed gunman boarded the train.

Instead, Specialist Skarlatos said, “Let’s go,” as the men ran toward a future that could have eas-

ily meant instant death or maiming for them and all of the other innocent people within range.

Fortunately, this story is remembered not for the horrific tragedy that nearly happened but for the heroism that did. Even after enduring serious stab wounds that were inflicted as he disarmed the gunman, Airman Stone administered life-saving first aid to a passenger that was shot.

The terrorist was carrying 270 rounds of ammunition. But because of the actions of these three young Americans, and two Europeans who assisted them, the death toll aboard the train was zero.

There is also the incredible story of Chris Mintz.

As others were understandably fleeing from a mass shooting at Oregon’s Umpqua Community College on Oct. 1, the 30-year-old former Army infantryman bravely confronted the gunman at a classroom door, as he attempted to save others who were inside. Mr. Mintz survived the attack and continues to recover after being shot five times.

These stories are inspiring, but certainly not surprising to me. As national commander of The American Legion, I meet veterans all of the time who have demonstrated tremendous heroism yet blend in our communities

without fanfare.

There are many ways to thank the men and women w h o h a v e Guest served Column in our Armed

BY DALE Forces, BARNETT but I cannot think of a better method of showing gratitude than to hire one. Employers who make this smart decision will usually benefit from the discipline, skills and loyalty that are found abundantly in today’s military.

Isn’t it likely that people who have survived firefights in Afghanistan can handle whatever tasks are thrown their way at the office without too much stress? My old classmate, C. Hughes Clark, summed up the humble nature of most veterans. “I can say without regret that I wouldn’t have done anything different through it all, simply because it has given me a sense of accomplishment that I couldn’t have accomplished any other way.”

hristians believe a lot of things which many non-Christians find incredible, starting with the fact that God became man in the form of Jesus. That an allpowerful, all-knowing God would take the form of a human being is a stumbling block for many. Christians also believe that Jesus was perfect, never sinning during his thirty-plus years here on earth. At the end of this sojourn, Jesus allowed himself to be executed, and after dying, and being dead for three days, we believe that he rose from the dead and that he walked and talked and ate with his followers for a brief time before ascending bodily to heaven. Christians believe that God then sent the Holy Spirit to minister to us, and literally to enter into us. We believe that God is inside of us because we hear the still small voice of conscience, and believe that this is the voice of God. And we believe that we are guided by that voice, the Holy Spirit. Sometimes our faith is troubled by these things. They are indeed incredible in the literal sense that they can be hard to believe. But perhaps we believe them because we have God’s spirit within us.

And perhaps that spirit within us is what makes us enthusiastic about these incredible things, and perhaps they ring true to us because they are true to our inmost being.

Siemens Medical Solutions personnel use a large crane to unload portions of Jersey Community Hospital’s new MRI machine Monday. The company spent the week installing the new equipment at the hospital.

JCH Imaging Center Installs Open MRI and patient comfort JCH Imaging Center has installed the region’s first Open Bore, 1.5 Tesla, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) system that combines a larger bore, or opening, for obese and claustrophobic patients with the ability to capture high-field quality diagnostic images.

“This is going to increase our efficiency and patient convenience,” says Ron Ausley, Director of the JCH Imaging Center.

“The patient-friendly design of this magnet will make it easier for large patients and those with claustrophobia to have a MRI examination which produces higher quality images. This will potentially reduce the need to repeat and interrupt exams.”

Dr. Larry Reed, MD & Chief Radiologist at Jersey Community Hospital, explains “that a MRI plays a major role in the diagnosis and treatment planning for cancer, diabetes, heart and vascular disorders, and many other diseases associated with obesity. This open bore designed magnet will allow us to obtain high quality images on all patients, including obese patients.”

Since two-thirds of American adults are overweight, the health-care industry is challenged to accommodate these larger patients with imaging systems that were designed for people who weigh much less.

Currently, patients too large to fit inside the bore of a high-field MRI magnet have image studies done in open MRI systems with low-field magnets. This limits the diagnostic usefulness of the images obtained. The field strength of a magnet is measured in units of Tesla – the higher

the number, the higher the field strength.

The higher the field strength, the better the quality of images produced.

Claustrophobic patients present another challenge for MRI systems. They can be sedated, adding to their inconvenience and the time it takes to schedule and perform an exam.

The Siemens Medical Solutions MAGNETOM Espree installed at JCH Imaging Center features a bore opening of nearly 2.3 feet in diameter and almost one foot of free space between a patient’s head and the magnet. The Espree also features the shortest 1.5 Tesla magnet available. Approximately four feet long, the magnet allows more than 60 percent of exams to be completed with the patient’s head outside the bore, helping to ease claustrophobia.

The new system provides up to four times more signal-to-noise ratio over traditional open MR designs, which is desirable in imaging larger patients. In addition, the Espree can perform advanced clinical applications in less time, because it combines strong gradient performance with Siemens’ Total imaging matrix (Tim™) technology. Tim is the first whole body surface coil design that enables the highest resolution images in a shorter acquisition time. Tim coils are very light, making them both easy to position and tolerate when scanning larger patients, improving cooperation.

The MAGNETOM Espree provides best patient comfort and high-quality images and diagnostic confidence for all types of patients.

Aging honor guard seeks youthful vets

File photo

Shell casings lay at the feet of American Legion Post 492 members following a 21-gun salute to fallen military men and women during a Memorial Day service at Oak Grove Cemetery in Jerseyville earlier this year. Many attended the ceremony to honor those who died in the line of duty.

By BOB CROSSEN Jersey County Journal For a Vietnam veteran who lived through harassment on his return home from the war, honoring service men and women became a passion.

Mike Smith, who served the Army on the ground in Vietnam, said there are some things that are difficult to forget about his time in the service.

He noted treatment of some vets when they returned was not amiable at the time due to stances in the public about the war during that time.

“It was in ’68 during that Tet. It was something that sticks with you,” Smith said. “When we’d come home from Vietnam – that was a bad war – get off the bus, and they was throwing eggs and

tomatoes at us.”

He said those who served in the Vietnam War tended to hide their veteran status from those they knew because of the stigma associated.

Feeling no veteran should be treated that way, Smith gathered interested American Legion members throughout the area to start the Tri-County Honor Guard around seven years ago.

The group would be tasked with performing a ceremony at area veterans’ funerals to honor their service.

When each Legion post hosted its own honor guard, only around six or seven veterans would be available. By combining the efforts of posts in Eldred, Kane and Jerseyville – among others – ceremonies could provide a greater impact.

“It’s still a lot of old people doing it, but we’ve got members from Jacksonville … and all over White Hall, Roodhouse, Eldred, Carrollton,” Smith said. “We’ve taken a few Sons of the American Legion members to help out. …

We’re always looking for members and advertising.”

Come Veterans Day, Smith said members of the honor guard will visit schools in their area to talk to students about the importance of the country’s military and those who volunteer to serve.

Veterans interested in being a part of the Tri-County Honor Guard can contact their local American Legion post. Members of Sons of the American Legion may also take part by contacting the local posts, as well.

Show times are Friday and Saturday evening at 7:30 p.m., Saturday afternoon at 2 p.m. and Sunday afternoon at 1 p.m. and 6 p.m.

This is a show not to be missed…it’s a cirque show…Broadway musical…holiday spectacular…and family show all in one.

From the creators of the groundbreaking Broadway hit Cirque Dreams Jungle Fantasy, “Cirque Dreams Holidaze” is “so full of energy it could end our dependence on oil” according to the New York Daily News and “a delicious confection of charm, sparkle and talent by the sleigh load.” The Rochester Democrat and Chronicle raves, “even the Grinch would be impressed with this Christmas wonderland.” “Stuffed with so much holiday cheer and audacious acts, Scrooge would exit with a big ol’ smile on his face,” hails the Erie Times News about this “Broadway-worthy spectacle.” “The perfect way to come in from the cold, forget the holiday

stresses and find the magic of the season” proclaims The Oakland Press. Don’t miss this international sensation that “Dazzled… at The Kennedy Center” according to the Washington Post. Tickets are on sale now.

In “Cirque Dreams Holidaze,” Broadway director Neil Goldberg re-imagines the holiday season with over 300 costumes, 20 acts and 30 performers from 12 countries showcasing an endless variety of imaginative, heart-pounding and gravity- defying feats you have to see to believe. Experience gingerbread men flipping midair, toy soldiers marching on thin wires along with snowmen, icemen and penguins, balancing, jumping and spinning in disbelief. The show celebrates the most wonderful time of the year with singers, choreography and exciting production numbers. Performers twirl, bounce and soar through the air to original music and seasonal favorites brought to life within a stage setting of gigantic gifts, colossal candy canes and 30-foot towering trees & soldiers creating a wonderland of amazement.

Says Creator/Director Goldberg, “‘Cirque Dreams Holidaze’ celebrates our brand of over 20 years with this unique holiday stage spectacle for the entire family. There aren’t enough shows today where mom and dad can bring the kids and grandparents, make it a date night, fun time for teens and entertain so many generations with…’how did they do that’, ‘wow’ and ‘amazing’. This show has something for everyone.”

Lecture on lost Eminence Nov. 12 Some maps for the Bluff Line Railroad schedule in the mid-1890s listed a number of communities between the cities of Alton and Grafton. One such community was Eminence. Now students at Principia College, under the direction of Professor Andrew Martin, have begun to investigate the fate of Eminence. What happened to this bluff side hamlet will be the topic of a special Hosmer-Williams Lecture Series at Farley’s Music Hall, Elsah, on Thursday, Nov. 12 at 7:30 p.m.

“Exactly where was Eminence, who lived there and why did they live there, and what happened to Eminence?” asks Tim Tomlinson, President of Historic Elsah Foundation and host for the Series. “How and why do such places disappear?”

Andrew Martin, an archaeologist whose students are looking at these questions, is excited about the opportunity to study and enhance local history. He says the village was “one of the first settlements in the area that was founded in 1828 on the bluffs next to Eliestoun. Eminence

coln. “We can still expect cold temperatures, snow and ice, which will impact travelers. In fact, minor accumulations of snow or ice can be just as dangerous for drivers as major winter storms, so they need to adjust their driving accordingly.”

IEMA, the NWS and the American Red Cross developed a winter weather preparedness guide that covers winter weather terms and tips for staying safe at home, in the car and at school.

The guide is available on the Ready Illinois website at www.Ready.Illinois.gov.

Winter weather preparedness tips also will be posted on the Ready Illinois Facebook (www.facebook.com/ ReadyIllinois) and Twitter (twitter.com/ReadyIllinois) pages.

rose rather rapidly in importance when in 1831 Congress debated whether to direct a road that it wished to build across the United States through Eminence, which would have made Eminence the ‘New Chicago’ or Gateway to the West. Unfortunately (or fortunately for us) the debate floundered and Eminence was abandoned shortly afterwards. No-one has ever found the village. So a group of students in my archaeology class are investigating the archival records at Principia College, in Alton and at Jerseyville for clues, and in a few weeks time will be doing some survey work on the bluffs, around the area that some accounts suggest it lies. The talk by the students will outline the history of Eminence and the latest results from our investigation.”

Emergency management officials, NWS encourage winter preparedness While the winter of 201516 is expected to be milder thanks to the effects of El Nino, it’s unlikely Illinois will completely avoid the cold temperatures, snow and ice that define Midwestern winters.

To help people prepare for potentially dangerous winter weather, the Illinois Emergency Management Agency (IEMA), the National Weather Service (NWS) and local emergency management agencies will highlight winter weather preparedness throughout November.

“There hasn’t been a winter in Illinois without at least one winter storm in the past century,” said IEMA Director James K. Joseph. “Right now, before that first snowstorm or ice event, is the perfect time to prepare your-

southwestern player Maddie Greeling, right, spikes the ball over two shelbyville defenders Tuesday night in shelbyville during a sectional game. The Lady Piasa Birds fell to the Lady rams in three sets, finishing the season with a 20-9-3 record.

Southwestern wins schools first volleyball regional

By BoB Crossen Jersey County Journal The Piasa Birds hoisted their first regional trophy Thursday night in Carlinville after winning three close sets against the Cavaliers.

The regional championship game win was the first in the school’s history and also marked a record high 20-win season for the Piasa Bird volleyball team (20-8-3).

As she has done all season long, Madison Greeling led the team in scoring with 14 kills and 21 digs. Stephanie Korte put up 31 assists, eight points and two aces, as well.

Head coach Julie Kinser said her team was relentless in the face of adversity against Carlinville.

“We did not give up. We were down early in the first set, but battled back, even though we came up short,” Kinser said in an email Tuesday. ”Ver close and intense. … The second set was basically point for point.”

The team fell down early in the third set, too, she said, but the Lady Piasa Birds got back into the zone as they finished off the set earning four of their last five points with three kills and an ace.

After scoring the winning point, Kinser said the team was – and still were Tuesday –

“ecstatic.” The momentum from that match carried into practice where the girls had high energy and got quality preparation in for the team’s sectional game in Shelbyville.

Kinser said Shelbyville will bring a lot of power the Southwestern team will have to defend. She said the Lady Piasa Birds would need to direct the action to get their opponents off-balance and out of a routine passing game Tuesday.

“We need to be aggressive and try to force them to make out-of-system passes, which will create tougher angles for their power hitters,” Kinser said Tuesday prior to the sectional match-up. “As with any team, maintaining momentum and focus will be key.”

While the Piasa Birds were able to take a game off the Shelbyville Rams (35-3), the Southwestern team fell in three sets, 11-25, 25-18 and 12-25.

Greeling led the team in digs with 19, and Korte had the most assists with 17. Erika Daube had 6 points and 3 aces, Hannah Blumstein had 5 kills, and Taylor Nixon had 3 points and 3 kills.

The Southwestern Lady Piasa Birds finished the season 20-9-3. It is the first 20-win season in the school’s volleyball history.

While the Device does contain a GPS chip, its connection may be limited due to the Device’s location within the home.

JERSEY COUNTY JOURNAL

2016 Illinois fishing tournament applications accepted by IDNR beginning Nov. 1 Fishing tournament organizers can apply to the Illinois Department of Natural Resources (IDNR) for tournament permits for 2016 beginning Nov. 1, 2015.

Most fishing clubs and fishing tournament trail organizers can apply for tournament permits by utilizing their IDNR fishing tournament online accounts and applying for 2016 tournament dates through the website at www.ifishillinois.org.

Catch results from 2015 tournaments must be entered before fishing clubs and tournament trails will be allowed to request tournament dates for 2016.

Tournament organizers will see the words “post results” in their online tournament listing if they still have 2015 results that need to be entered. Tournament fishing is extremely popular in Illinois. In 2015, there were approximately 1,400 registered fishing tournaments on Illinois’ waters. The catch data submitted by the

angling clubs and tournament trails is vital information needed for the management of the waters they fish. “Thanks to all tournament fishermen for being so conscientious in securing tournament permits, for posting the catch results afterward, and for being such good stewards of the fisheries resources in the state,” said Debbie Bruce, chief of the IDNR Division of Fisheries.

“Having catch data helps make our jobs as fisheries biologists easier and more effective.”

Fishing tournament organizers who do not yet have an IDNR online tournament account can apply for one at this link: http://www.ifishillinois.org/tournament/ index.php. Paper applications will still be accepted; however, the IDNR prefers that tournament applications be done online.

All paper applications will be converted to online applications as the IDNR phases out the paper forms.

“Having more options in the Marketplace is great news for Illinois residents, but consumers need to compare all plans available in their area to select the best fit for their budget and health conditions,” said Director of Public Education and Consumer Outreach Brian Gorman. “Several plans have lower premium costs paired with fewer hospital and provider choices, so it is more important than ever for consumers to carefully review all options. GCI has hundreds of trained professionals to work with everyone – whether a first-time enrollee or someone who enrolled last year – every step of the way.”

2005 A rash of burglaries, arson and vandalism have caused a considerable amount of damage to area businesses recently, and after an extensive investigation which included stakeouts by the Jersey County Sheriff’s Department, three Jerseyville men are facing multiple charges.

According to reports from the sheriff’s department, at 12:30 a.m. Tuesday, Nov. 1, Deputy Mike Ringhausen spotted a suspicious vehicle parked behind the Lyons Trucking facility. Upon investigating the situation, Ringhausen was given consent to search the vehicle at which time he found several bottles of liquor by spouts that were believed to be used as an ignition source from a burglary and arson at the 518 Banquet Center that he and Deputy John Hazelwood had investigated the day before.

The parties were immediately transported to the Jersey County Sheriff’s Department for questioning and they later admitted to being involved in the crime spree.

At Tuesday’s Jersey County Board meeting, Jersey County Board and Finance Committee Chairman Howard Landon warned of a possible seven percent increase in the county’s property tax levy to balance the budget for the coming fiscal year. According to Landon, if the average

home in Jersey County were valued at $100,000, the tax increase would be about $6.

Perhaps the biggest news at Grafton’s Tuesday council meeting was what took place the previous week. On Oct. 28, Grafton officials held a special meeting with local developer David Roth, who in September bought the old Grafton Elementary School.

At the meeting, Roth presented city officials with a proposal to develop 48 villas within eight buildings that would be carved out of the side of the hill on which the old Grafton Elementary School now sits.

Early next year, the Jerseyville Police Department’s D.A.R.E. program will unveil a brand new, fully decked-out D.A.R.E. car - the first of its kind in the community. The car will be outfitted with a flat screen television, a Sony Play Station and a new set of chrome rims.

The latter, donated Friday by Custom Motors of Jerseyville, will be placed on a late model Chevy Blazer, which recently was impounded by local drug enforcement.

2010 The Jersey County Board adopted a resolution banning the possession, distribution or use of the controlled sub-

stance K2 Tuesday. Jersey County State’s Attorney Ben Goetten told the board that the substance, also known as “spice,” will be banned by the state of Illinois in January.

The city of Jerseyville has already made K2 illegal.

A couple of months before another Walmart is to open, just 13 miles south of Jerseyville’s own supercenter, there are mixed signals coming from both sides of what that could mean for Jerseyville and Jersey County. Local officials predict a negative impact with sales tax revenue declining.

Walmart believes otherwise.

Construction of the Godfrey Walmart building began earlier this spring and it’s expected to be open in early 2011.

Grafton Treasurer Bill Senger reported to the Grafton City Council at Tuesday night’s meeting that sales tax revenue for September was $24,174, which is nearly double the $12,865 which came in during the same period a year ago. Not only are the city’s coffers experiencing a growth, the city, itself, has also grown in size as the council voted to approve annexing approximately 260 acres into the city following a mandatory pubic hearing.
