Cancila to take over Jerseyville dealership

By ROBERT LYONS Jersey County Journal The local Chrysler dealership ended its run as a locally owned, family business just shy of its 71st anniversary.

Jersey County Motors has been sold to Florissant, Mo., Chrysler dealer Marty Cancila, and is expected to change hands later this week.

The deal requires final corporate approval from Chrysler. In the meantime, the transition has moved forward with new inventory being moved in, employee training and computer upgrades. General Manager Tony Cancila is hoping to be in position to start selling cars in Jerseyville on Day 1 of official ownership.

Joe Ritter, co-owner and manager of Jersey County Motors, said he and his family were just ready to move on from the automobile sales industry.

“We just decided to sell. We’ve got a good buyer, a good person…it was just time to move on,” Ritter said.

“My dad is 84. John and I have been here 30 years, and we just maybe want to try something different.”

The deal between Ritter and Cancila has been in the works the better part of a year, with both saying they began talks in Spring 2014. It took a few months for Cancila to determine if he had the means to make taking over the out-of-state dealership feasible, he said.

He also spent time at the dealership and in the community. Talks with Jersey County Business Association CEO Mary Heitzig, Cancila said, helped him realize Jerseyville was the right location for expansion.

“It was after my meeting with Mary that I said to myself, ‘I really like how that feels,’” Cancila said. “All the (See, cAncilA, A2)

Council faces concerns about demolition project

By BOB CROSSEN Jersey County Journal The Jerseyville City Council heard complaints regarding the demolition of a home on Stryker Street, as well as the bidding process for that work.

Penni Livingston explained the position of her client, Anna Summers, and ways the city can be proactive about the issues brought up during the meeting. Summers, who identified herself as the sister-in-law of Jerseyville Mayor Richard Perdun, owns AMS Contracting, a company which entered bids for demolition work on a number of condemned houses in November.

AMS did not receive bid contracts at that time as the lowest bidder was Long Paving. Two

other companies’ bids were opened during the Nov. 10 meeting for work on 404 Linden and 804 Stryker. However, their bids stated addresses for the demolition of different properties, and as such were not considered by the council.

Livingston said the differing addresses were the result of a faulty bidding process, making it unfair for those putting in bids for the work.

The bigger problem, she said, was found during the demolition of the building by Long Paving.

“It has come to our attention that there has been open dumping taking place by the person who got the bid,” Livingston said.

Presenting the council with photographs she said were taken by Summers, Livingston said Long Paving was taking the demolition debris from the demolition site to another area for

dumping. That area, she said, was not a licensed sanitary landfill through the state of Illinois.

Dumping on private property is illegal, Livingston added.

“If you don’t do due diligence to discover what’s going on with your independent contractor, you can become liable for that independent contractor. … This is your property that you’re sending out to be demolished, so this waste is generated by the city. So the city can be liable for the generation of the waste,” Livingston said, providing case law examples to back her position.

Livingston said another concern was with the potential for asbestos containing material being located inside the homes to be demolished.

Although the removal of that material from 804

Stryker Street in particular does not violate any laws, she said the demolition of homes with asbestos has to be approached in a different way.

Dean Long, Long Paving owner, said the items removed from the home at 804 Stryker Street are old furniture taken through a hole he knocked through the wall.

Demolition has been paused as he awaits emergency demolition permits from the EPA, he added.

“We do have reports that there is no asbestos in 804 Stryker Street whatsoever,” Long said, adding he is taking the waste to a landfill. “The house was full of furniture, diplomas on the wall, clothes in the closet. We didn’t want to (See, council, A2)

Dean extradited to Missouri

By BOB CROSSEN Jersey County Journal A man indicted by a grand jury in Calhoun County for attempted aggravated criminal sexual abuse was extradited from the Jersey County jail Monday to Dunklin County, Mo., to face charges for kidnapping and forcible sodomy.

Michael F. Dean was indicted by the Calhoun County Grand Jury Dec. 24, 2014 for attempted aggravated criminal sexual abuse and the warrant for his arrest was served Dec. 26.

According to documents filed with the Calhoun County Circuit Clerk, Dean allegedly “performed a substantial step toward the commission of [attempted aggravated criminal sexual abuse] in that he delivered to [the victim] a controlled substance by deception for other than medical purposes and thereafter attempted to remove the pants of [the victim]” on or about Dec. 27, 2011.

According to those documents, Dean is forbidden from entering any establishment that primarily sells alcohol, nor may he have contact with the victim.

He was released after paying $8,000 in

Kimble headed to Eastern Illinois.

bond for the charge in Calhoun, but was arrested on a separate warrant from Dunklin County in Missouri.

There, Dean faces counts for kidnapping and forcible sodomy for three separate victims on three separate occasions, according to court documents, with some incidents dating back to 2011.

According to information in court documents, none of the victims were underage – the youngest victim was 19 – at the time of the alleged offense.

Calhoun Deputy P.J. Parker, who led the investigation, said the stories from the victims were all similar. The victims would allegedly ride with Dean to Dunklin County, Mo., where they would purchase produce to bring back for resale at Dean’s produce store in Kampsville.

“It was all pretty much the same MO all the way through,” Parker said. “They were going down there to get produce. He goes down there to get watermelons and stuff for his produce stand up in Kampsville during the summer time.”

He said Dean and the victims would get some drinks. According to court documents (See, DeAn, A2)

2014: Year in review, part 2 JulY Board offers support to medical marijuana growers The Jersey County Board approved a letter of support for Scientific Growers Incorporated, a company vying for an Illinois medical marijuana cultivation license, in a 9-to-1 vote during a regular board meeting Tuesday.

All board members present voted in favor of the letter of support except Roger Newberry, who voted No. Chairman Jerry Wittman and Mary Kirbach were not present to vote.

The cultivation center would grow the marijuana plants, but would not sell to the public.

Instead it would sell the plants at wholesale to distribution centers, which would then sell the medical marijuana to patients with doctor’s authorization.

Training simulates real school shooter Simulating a real life school shooter situation, local educators recently furthered their training to minimize devastation should their worst fears be realized.

In the final week of June, the chief of police from Columbia led a two-day seminar at Jersey Community High School. Officers put the approximately 25 volunteer participants into situations they could face should an intruder enter a school with ill intentions. Blank rounds were fired from guns, making the situation even more realistic.

“It was probably the most surreal training that I’ve experienced in a school setting,”

Superintendent Dr. Lori Hopkins said. “It appeared to be real. It provided those in attendance to really assess the situation, and to even know what the sound of a firearm going off is like in a school building.”

Jersey crowns lifeguard as fair queen The Jersey County Fair Queen broke a precedence this year by being among the youngest queens crowned and also by being sponsored by a company outside the agriculture industry.

Lauren Kight, 18, graduated from Jersey Community High School May 18, and shortly after, she began her research for the fair pageant.

Sponsored by Raging Rivers in Grafton where she is a lifeguard, Kight said she spent hours researching the agriculture industry in Jersey County and talking to former queens throughout the area.

Election signage becomes sizable issue for city There’s still nearly two full months before voters head to the polls, but already a bipartisan issue has taken hold in the city of Jerseyville.

Signs placed – by both political parties – throughout the city are in violation of an ordinance that specifies size and location of political campaign signage. The ordinance, which was enacted in 2011, limits campaign signs to 16 square feet in residential zones and 32 square feet in commercial zones. The law also regulates the location of signage to private property and to areas where they do not present a safety hazard.

An executive order from the grand exalted ruler revoked the local charter for the fraternal and social club Sept. 4. According to James McQuillan, past national president and current spokesman for the Elks, several factors went into the decision to revoke the charter.

The organization maintains a statute book with the laws of the Order of Elks, by which each local lodge must adhere.

“They have not had a full slate of officers for a number of years, they have not been conducting meetings as they’re supposed to conduct and they have not maintained a sound financial condition,” McQuillan said, noting all three aspects are required by Elks law.

LIFE

AS IT ONCE WAS

A man who calls himself Blue (right) prepares a hatchet to be thrown for Jack Schipkowski (left) and Ethan Jones in October at the Grafton Rendezvous. The two-day Rendezvous features participants living in the way of the settlers more than 200 years ago. Visitors to the festival could immerse themselves in the bygone era by taking part in several activities, watching demonstrations, eating period food and purchasing old-fashioned items.

Cancila In perhaps the most heavily advertised race for Jersey County Board, Democrat Sandy Hefner defeated incumbent Republican Dr. John Houseman for the District Two seat.

Hefner won by 653 votes, with the final tally 1,469-816 in favor of Hefner. Hefner previously served on the board until 2012, when she chose not to run for re-election.

County celebrates birthday with capsule A celebration was held Monday in honor of the county’s 175th birthday.

The event included music, speeches and the burial of a new time capsule. Students from the county’s schools, residents and local dignitaries were on hand to take part in the ceremony.

“We were blessed with a warm, sunny day to facilitate the school kids coming,” Charles Huebener, co-chairman of the celebration committee, said. “We had a really nice turnout from the public. We were very happy.”

AHFP ceases operations American Heartland Fish Products, the fish plant in Grafton, has ceased operations following an order from the chief of police to do so in October.

The plant has been under fire for most of the year for the odors it produced in processing Asian carp at the industrial business.

Residents packed city hall at times to explain their displeasure with the odor emanating from the plant, located on Illinois Route 3 just north of Grafton Hills Drive, noting it had interrupted their daily lives.

Little wins District 4 seat by one vote The race for a Jersey County Board that was tied at the end of Election Day was decided Monday by one vote.

After all absentee ballots were counted Monday, Democrat Don Little defeated fellow Democrat Gary Koenig 678-677, to claim the second of two seats up for grabs in District 4. The two Democrats were tied at 677 votes each after all the ballots were counted on Nov. 4. Just one absentee ballot came from the district, which ultimately decided the outcome of the election.

Opponent of fish odor accused of spreading skunk smell A man who voiced his anger with the odors emitted by American Heartland Fish Products has been charged with spreading some stink of his own.

Steven C. Jones, Grafton resident, received two ordinance violations dated Nov. 13 for allegedly pouring what is described in court documents as “an offensive smelling compound” and “noxious liquid” inside the Loading Dock Restaurant in Grafton.

DECEMBER Ferguson resigns from county board Ending a four-year tenure as a member of the Jersey County Board, Jeff Ferguson announced his resignation from the public body with a letter during a meeting Monday morning.

Jerseyville levy estimates 33 percent increase The Jerseyville City Council approved a levy estimate during a regular meeting Nov. 25 that incorporates an expected 33 percent increase over the previous year’s levy.

The estimated total levy amount which could be approved in December is $2,074,650, which is an increase of approximately $500,000 from last year’s estimated levy total.

Yvonne Hartmann, Jerseyville finance commissioner, said the increase in the levy this year is due to changes with police pension expenses. For many years, she said the city did not fully fund the police pensions, and it must now catch up on those payments.

Hansen buys out H&B Ham Co. With Friday’s acquisition of H&B Ham Co., the Hansen family reclaimed a piece of its history.

Ryan Hansen, Hansen Packing president, said it was a natural choice for his family’s company to purchase the ham company. His grandfather, Bill Hansen, was an original founder of H&B - hence the H in H&B. The Hansen’s bought the business from – the original B in H&B – Ron and Randy Burns.

“It does have a little bit of sentimental value as far as being another family company that my grandpa started,” Ryan Hansen said.

“It’s one that we definitely wanted to get under the Hansen Packing name.”

The name will change to Marty Cancila Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram. But, otherwise, Cancila doesn’t want the transition to be too noticeable.

“The Ritters have done a fantastic job here,” Cancila said. “I don’t know that I’m going to do anything drastically different.”

The one major difference customers will notice, according to the new owner, is the number of cars on the lot. Cancila said once the transition of ownership is complete he anticipates stocking as many as 150 additional new cars, as well as adding to the used sales selection.

“To be able stay in town and have a major selection, like Tony is going to carry, is just going to be a convenience to [customers],” Ritter said.

Some of the vehicles being added to the lot will come from Cancila’s Florissant location, while many more will be ordered through the factory. Cars at either location will be made available to the other, as well.

“We’ll certainly make sure the customers understand that they’ll have two inventories to shop out of,” Cancila said.

There are many similarities between the two dealerships, according to both Ritter and Cancila. Both are family-owned, multigenerational enterprises. And both put a premium on positive customer experiences.

“There are a lot of car dealers who sit in the back room and never talk to their customers. That’s one thing I love about how Joe ran his business; he and his father were right out here in the showroom with their customers,” Cancila said. “That’s how I run my business, too.”

The council requested its legal council review material from Long and Livingston to provide the board

Dean

(Continued from A1) in Calhoun County, Dean allegedly put a controlled substance in those drinks.

The deputy said the initial break in the case came when Dean was arrested on three felony drug charges in Normal in late August. According to reports, among Dean’s belongings was a camera with photographs of naked men shackled at the wrists and ankles.

Calhoun County Sheriff Bill Heffington said the Normal Police Department reached out to his office with information in the case, seeking aid in the investigation.

The sheriff said Parker and other deputies have worked hard to identify victims from the photos, but noted some have still not come forward with their stories. He said some victims were not aware of the alleged crime committed against them.

“It all ended up with putting stuff in their drinks to sedate them,” Heffington said. “Most people thought they were just on a bad drunk. They only knew after the photographs.

That’s what brought it to their attention.”

The sheriff said the investigation took some time to put all the pieces together, especially when the investigation led to an out-of-state

For the first six months, Cancila said he will spend a majority of his time in Jerseyville, then he plans to split it evenly between his two dealerships.

Ritter said all of Jersey County Motors’ employees were offered jobs by Cancila.

The Jerseyville dealership began in 1944, selling the Chrysler Corporation’s DeSoto lineup, before moving on to Chrysler, Dodge, Ram and Jeep vehicles. Originally, the dealership was located in the 200 block of North State Street, with its used car sales lot in the current home of Medford Food Mart.

Until now, the business had remained solely in the Ritter family – passed down from founder Joe Ritter to sons Barry, Bob and Mike, and sold to Barry’s sons, John and Joe in 1992.

Even though the sale ends the family-owned business’ 70-year run, Ritter said it is not a sad occasion.

“I know it’s going to good hands,” Ritter said. “If it was somebody I didn’t know, it’d be a whole different story.”

Cancila and Ritter said they have been friends for nearly three decades, serving on the same boards and attending the same factory meetings.

“We’re similar in age, and we were always the youngest guys in the room,” Cancila said of how he and Ritter formed a bond. “We traveled together on a couple of baseball trips and some things like that.”

So, to some extent, Cancila was already familiar with Jersey County Motors’ operation.

“It just so happened we were looking to expand,” Cancila said. “It wasn’t a quick decision.”

Ritter said he, his father, Barry, and brother James will remain on for a short period of time to help with Cancila’s transition into the new location.

The council also approved the purchase of a new tractor for the cemetery totaling a cost of $23,900.

The 2009 John Deere model is in the shop awaiting $12,000 in repairs, and the city was offered a 2015 model to replace the defunct tractor which could be turned in for credit towards the new tractor.

location for the alleged commission of the crimes. Because the alleged crimes were committed outside Calhoun County, the sheriff’s department had to work with Dunklin County law enforcement to file charges.

Getting victims to come forward was a difficult aspect of the case, as well.

“It’s a touchy situation for your victims, and some of them are having problems,” Heffington said.

“The psychological part of it is tough.”

The Calhoun County Sheriff’s Office also worked with the Normal Police Department to assist investigators in the execution of a search warrant on Dean’s property in early October.

Circuit Judge Charles H.W. Burch recused himself from the case on Dec. 29, and Dean was brought before Judge J. Frank McCartney after his arrest.

In an order filed Dec. 31, the case was continued to Feb. 3 at 1:30 p.m. in the Calhoun County Courthouse.

A schedule for appearances for Dean in Dunklin County was not available by press time, but he remained in custody with a $350,000 bond.

Dean was a Kampsville village trustee for two terms starting in 2001 and 2003.

JERSEY COUNTY JOURNAL

By RoBeRt Lyons Jersey County Journal As one member from the Wittman and Lorton PC legal team retires, another is stepping into place.

Longtime Jerseyville based attorney George “Butch” Wittman became semi-retired at the end of 2014, and partner Laef Lorton became the firm’s sole owner.

Laef Lorton, however, is not on his own. In addition to his wife, Allison Lorton, who is also a lawyer, the firm has brought on attorney Josh Evans.

Wittman will continue to work hours of his choosing, and by appointment only.

“I’m just getting to an age where I don’t want to work as much as I have in the past,” Wittman said. “I’ve got good people here who can handle it, so I decided I would work when I want, where I want and how I want. I’m retiring, but I’m not quitting.”

Regardless of Wittman’s involvement with the firm, Laef Lorton said the name of the firm will not change under his watch. Laef Lorton said keeping Wittman’s name attached is symbolic of the firm’s commitment to ethics, morals and the reputation built by Wittman and those before him. Laef Lorton said he’s always admired Wittman’s way of practicing law.

“Wittman will always be attached,” Laef Lorton said. “I think it is something that will remind us on how we need to carry out our practice.”

The roots of the firm can be traced back to the early-1900s, and has undergone several changes in partners and ownership.

Since 1970, Wittman has been a mainstay at the firm, with the exception of 1972-1976 when he was state’s attorney. In addition to countless individual clients, he has represented Grafton, Elsah, Jerseyville and several townships in the county over the years.

In the early 1970s, he helped pioneer the development of Jersey County Rural Water, at a time in which rural water companies were a relatively new concept.

He said working out the legalities of establishing JCRW is one of his proudest accomplishments. He said the task involved procuring around 1,300 miles of easements.

“That was quite a chore,” Wittman said, noting he has also assisted the company with sev-

eral expansion projects since its initial implementation. “At the time, [Jersey County] Rural Water was one of the first and one of the largest rural water systems in the United States. That was something brand new back in that time.”

Before Laef Lorton, Wittman’s most recent partner was county board member and former state’s attorney Mary Kirbach.

Laef Lorton became a partner in 2007. At that point, he gradually began acquiring interest in the firm over a series of years, leading up to a complete buyout on the final day of 2013.

Allison Lorton began with Wittman and Lorton in 2009, after serving as a prosecutor in Madison County in 2005 and 2006, and then at a private practice in Alton.

The husband and wife duo said working together is not an added stress on their relationship.

“Luckily we’ve been pretty darn busy. I joke with my clients that I really only see him when I want to, or if we have a matter to discuss,” Allison Lorton said.

As a general practice law office and real estate title company, Laef Lorton said each member of the team has a specialty. Allison Lorton focuses on estate and business planning, as well transactions requiring legal guidance.

“My office is in the title company itself, I handle that day-today operation,” Allison Lorton said.

Wittman specialized in estate planning, business planning and transactions, which Allison Lorton has been working side-byside with him on for the past five years.

“He’s been grooming her to take over that facet of the business,” Laef Lorton said. “Over the last two years, we’ve been making that transition.”

Laef Lorton’s concentration is centered around agricultural real estate law, personal injury, criminal defense and general litigation.

Evans said he fills in any other areas not covered by Laef or Allison Lorton.

“We’re starting to see more administrative law issues come up, such as conceal and carry permits being denied or worker’s comp claims,” Evans said.

Laef Lorton said any client needing assistance on an area of law not covered by his office will be referred to a qualified attorney who he trusts and respects.

Before joining Wittman and

Lorton, Evans began at a firm that specializes in personal injury, and then moved onto a bigger firm working on transactions.

When Evans, who finished among the top of his law class at St. Louis University, turned down an offer to work at a St. Louis law firm in favor of remaining local, Laef Lorton said he knew he wanted him to be part of his legal practice. Evans is a Greene County native, and his wife, Ashley, is from Jersey County.

“It wasn’t necessarily that we were going out and searching for someone, but the opportunity arose and Josh is just a great fit for our firm and the community,” Laef Lorton said. “He decided he wanted to come back and serve this community, and when I heard that, I wanted him to be a part of my office.”

In addition to the Jerseyville office, Wittman and Lorton also operates an office in Hardin.

Both of the Lortons and Evans expressed how working and living in the Jersey and Calhoun County communities have led to strong relationships on the personal and professional level, which often leads to opportunities to serve clients in myriad situations.

“They might come in for a family matter…then a year later they’ll come in because they want to buy their first home and you’re assisting them with that, and then they might come in because they’ve been in a car accident,” Evans said. “You’re not just a one-time attorney for someone.

You’re really developing a relationship and that’s the best part about it.”

Moving forward, Evans said there are many lessons he’s learned from Wittman that he will carry with him.

“Butch treats every client like a really good friend. That’s the approach I’ve taken, and I learned that from him,” Evans said. “I don’t think many people in our community are more respected than Butch Wittman.”

Wittman said he’s confident the future of the firm is in good hands, and will carry on the legacy built over more than a century with pride.

“Laef is an excellent litigator and also analyzes things very well,” he said. “Allison is a good transactional person, and does a very comprehensive job. Josh has got just all kinds of ability and he’s a hard worker, so he’ll make it.”

Family dealership sells after 70 years

Publisher and Editor: Julie Boren

The Issue: Florissant, Mo., dealership buys out local business.

Our View: Cancila could be great addition to community.

he sale of Ritter Brothers, also known as Jersey County Motors, is more than the end of an era.

Last year, Jersey County Motors marked its 70th year as a local, family-owned enterprise that has served generations of families. The dealership’s legacy is a piece of our county’s history. Thus, its end marks the close of a chapter in the story of Jersey County.

The good news is that a new chapter is ready to begin.

Florissant-based dealer Marty Cancila, which has its own extensive history of selling Chrysler Company products, is set to take over the Jerseyville dealership.

With the move comes a wider selection of automobiles and a more prominent web presence. So, car buyers will have a wider local selection – also able to have vehicles from Cancila’s Florissant location quickly delivered to Jerseyville.

General manager Tony Cancila has vowed to continue the same level of customer service and personal attention customers of Jersey County Motors became accustomed to over the years. He is even keeping many of the same familiar faces on staff.

Joe Ritter said he’s comfortable and confident with Cancila’s ability to serve the Jersey County area customer base. Still, for many, the transfer of ownership will be a change that may take some getting used to. It’s great to have locally owned and operated businesses. But, this might be what growth looks like.

Ritter Brothers won’t soon be forgotten. But, the fact we did not end up with a vacant lot to remind us all of the loss on a daily basis is something to celebrate. Loyal Chrysler buyers should consider welcoming Cancila, and everyone should appreciate the business’ interest in the community.

Governor’s mansion still lacks a governor Y

et another Illinois governor says he won’t live in the Executive Mansion, at least for now.

First there was Rod Blagojevich who said he couldn’t move to Springfield because he didn’t want his daughters to go to school here.

Then there was bachelor Gov. Pat Quinn who didn’t have a family to blame.

He promised to move to Springfield. He never did.

And now, Governor-elect Bruce Rauner says he says he can’t move into the 158-year old manor because it’s in such bad shape.

The basement floods. The roof leaks. The whole house is in disrepair.

Rauner, who compared the building to his college frat house, said he’s still moving to Springfield despite the condition of the mansion.

But he will rent his own place until the mansion gets fixed up.

And he’s seeking private funding to renovate the historic building.

Some folks don’t see the importance of a governor living in Springfield.

But imagine the outcry if George W. Bush or Barack Obama refused to live in Washington, D.C., during their presidencies.

Just as Washington is the nation’s capital, Springfield is our state’s seat of government.

Whether one chooses to live in Springfield speaks loudly to a governor’s level of engagement.

And, rightly or wrongly, Illinoisans living outside of the Chicago area have interpreted the absence of a chief executive in Springfield as a sign of contempt for downstate Illinois.

The Blagojevich family didn’t help matters any.

Who can forget first lady Patti Blagojevich comments at the Illinois State Fair?

After watching thousands of downstaters teeming about the fairgrounds, the first lady said the state should promote the fair more because nobody knows about it.

Ouch.

And of course it was Rod Blagojevich who insisted on

nightly flights back to Chicago, in a state plane at taxpayer expense, at time he was warring with the legislature and calling it into daily special sessions.

It was as if he were saying he was too good to lay his head in the Capital City.

Illinois lacks the cohesive self-identity that other states like Texas or Florida have. Much of that is because of the state’s sad history of regional infighting.

The last two governors to live in Springfield – George Ryan and Jim Edgar – were downstaters themselves.

For Bruce Rauner, a Chicagoarea native, to choose to live in Springfield sends a message of unity.

And that’s one thing Illinois sorely needs.

If only the state’s fiscal situation were as easy to fix as the mansion’s physical condition.

EDITORIAL

If you have a dream…

F

irst light has always been my favorite time of day.

It’s at that time that my expectation is at its highest. Whether I’m fishing, hunting or just out and about I love the possibilities and excitement the breaking day brings.

It seems that all game is more active during this period. Every cast is made with a great expectation. Every corner of the woods is looked at with a great expectation.

The skies are filled with a great expectation. It’s a feeling that only you and I know. I wonder sometimes if that’s not what draws us back to the water or the woods.

It seems that much of our daily lives are filled with less than great expectations. Instead they are filled with expectations of the normal or average type.

We expect to go to work, put in a long day, get off, come home, and

do it all again the next day. And we usually get what we expect.

But when we are in the woods or on the water our mind begins to think outside the normal possibilities. I never go into a hunt with a great expectation to shoot a spike.

Nor do I rush to get to the lake so I can land that 12 inch largemouth.

No, my mind soars beyond the average and beyond the normal to the possibilities of what may lie just beyond the corner or just under the surface. And it’s that dream that makes the experience so exciting.

Some people say, “Get real.” I prefer to let my mind take me to the “what ifs.”

God has put within each one of us the capacity to dream. Those dreams are our motivation. They are our “great expectations.” They get us up early and keep us out late.

When put into action they are

our contribution to the world. If you think about it, dreams have always taken Outdoor us where we had never been Truths and allowed BY GARY us to do things MILLER that we thought we would never do. If you have a dream, it’s a gift from God given to you, to be used for Him. To not follow that dream would be not only a shame but a sin.

As you look ahead to a new year, rekindle the dream you have let simmer, and this year might be your best yet.

Orthopedic Center opens at JCH

Submitted photo

Chloe Bland and her daddy, Kevin, have ball playing Fun Bingo at the Friday night dance in 2014.

By BOB CROSSEN Jersey County Journal Although the services have been offered at Jersey Community Hospital, a new Orthopedic Center has opened at the facility to provide for a more personalized experience.

Located in the former business office for the hospital, the new Orthopedic Center has four rooms for patients in addition to a treatment room for pain therapy and office space for nurses and Dr. John Blake, orthopedic surgeon.

Blake has worked at the hospital for around one year, he said, and urged administration to find a space for orthopedics – working with bones and joints – for which the hospital serves many patients. He is proud of the space available as well as the equipment that will be utilized specifically for those in the orthopedic center.

“The majority of people that I see come back and they feel positive about their experience,” Blake said, noting he sees patients of virtually any age. “Not babies, but about out of diapers.

Age 3 and up.”

Blake’s residency in orthopedic surgery was completed at the University of Health Sciences College of Osteopathic Medicine in Kansas City, Mo. He has experience in pediatric orthopedics at Children’s Mercy Hospital in Kansas City where he completed residencies, as well. He is a member of the American Osteopathic Association.

New technology will soon fill the rooms in the orthopedic center. The new X-ray machine – to be delivered next week – is completely digital for instance. Rather than taking the X-ray films and passing them through a reader for digital imaging to be sent to a computer, the X-rays are saved directly into the computer’s database for immediate digital use.

The room, he said, is lead-lined, despite the machine giving off the lowest dose radiation of any other X-ray machine on the market.

That digital approach to orthopedics will be evident throughout the center where the secretaries have individual laptops for their work.

The space was created with more than the digital interface in mind as sturdy handrails line every wall in the center to ensure patients have a firm grip while walking around the space.

Those same rails ring around the interior of the treatment room. Blake said he specializes in shots and surgery for orthopedic problems. The treatment is just as important, he said, adding a separate professional will guide patients in the treatment room to compliment the work he does.

Although both the X-ray and treatment rooms

were empty Tuesday, the clinic was up and running for its regular patients in the new clinic space. If those facilities were needed – while the equipment is still being delivered –patients would be taken to other sections of the hospital.

“We’re going to have another doctor come up one day a week to just do pain management and pain blocks. They do stuff that compliments my work, but I don’t do it directly. It just made sense for us to house them in here,” Blake said, noting the closer access to equipment will benefit patients and staff. “Our patients now won’t have to go all the way over to the X-ray department.

They do right now, and it’s a pain for them.”

The orthopedic surgeon said he is glad to bring some pride to the hospital in a new space, and Jen Bell, JCH community relations director, said administration and staff are just as excited about the center.

Having a place dedicated to orthopedic work

made sense for the hospital, she added. The center is not far from the JCH Wellness Center where patients receive physical therapy, and gives the hospital offerings to help patients through the beginning, middle and end of their treatment.

“It flows well for us and our patient care because we can take care of them here. They can have physical therapy. Then they have the Wellness Center,” Bell said. “Orthopedics is really a strong service line for us and we’re really excited about that.”

Funding for the renovation of the office, she said, was generated through the Hope Chest Resale Shop in Jerseyville which is owned by the Jersey Community Hospital Foundation.

The remodeling work was completed through local companies, making the center a community effort.

Cold weather is upon us in Illinois and Illinois American Water is advising homeowners to make sure their homes are prepared for winter weather.

“We want to remind customers that sub-freezing temperatures for an extended period can cause pipes in vulnerable areas to freeze, possibly burst and result in costly damage,” said Illinois American Water Vice President of Operations Barry Suits. “By taking the proper steps, customers can avoid frozen pipes and expensive repairs to damaged plumbing inside and outside of the home.”

Property owners are responsible for maintenance of the water service line from the curb to the house, as well as any in-home piping. Illinois American Water encourages residents to take the following precautions to reduce the risk of freezing and bursting pipes.

To prepare for frigid weather: n Know the location of your main water shutoff valve. If a pipe freezes or bursts, shut the water off immediately. n Protect your pipes and water meter. Wrap exposed pipes with insulation or use electrical heat tracing wire – follow manufacturer instructions closely to avoid a fire hazard.

For outside meters, keep the lid to the meter pit closed tightly and let any snow that falls cover it.

Snow acts as insulation, so don’t disturb it. n Know which areas in your home, such as basements, crawl spaces, unheated rooms and outside walls, are most vulnerable to freezing. n Eliminate cold air sources near water lines by repairing broken windows, insulating walls, closing off crawl spaces and eliminating drafts near doors.

When temperatures are consistently at or below freezing: n Allow a small trickle of water from both your cold and hot water faucets to run overnight to keep pipes from freezing. The cost of the extra water is low compared to the cost to repair a broken pipe. Customers should also consider a wise water use practice and collect the running water for later use. n Open cabinet doors to expose pipes to warmer room temperatures to help keep them from freezing, although be careful to not create a tripping hazard.

If your pipes do freeze: n Shut your water off immediately. Don’t attempt to thaw frozen pipes unless the water is shut off, as freezing can often cause unseen cracks in pipes or joints.

n Apply heat to frozen pipe by warming the air around it or applying heat directly to the pipe. You can use a hair dryer, space heater or hot water. Be sure to not leave space heaters unattended and avoid the use of kerosene heaters or open flames. n Once the pipes have thawed, turn the water back on slowly and check for cracks and leaks.

If you are going to be away from your home for more than a few days: n Have a friend, relative or neighbor regularly check your property to ensure that the heat is working and the pipes have not frozen. n Also, a freeze alarm can be purchased for less than $100 and will call a user-selected phone number if the inside temperature drops below 45 degrees.

In addition to pipes indoors, customers can help protect their own and their neighbors’ homes by keeping fire hydrants clear of snow. Substantial snow accumulations combined with the aftereffects of plowing roads and parking lots can leave fire hydrants partially or completely buried in snow. Clearing hydrants can help firefighters easily locate them and access water quickly, saving valuable time to possibly save lives and structures.

JCH CEO Jon Wade said, “While JCH and IMA have had longstanding track records of success separately, the staff is now stronger as one practice – JCH Medical Group. The goal of this new group is to deliver the highest quality, seamless and safest patient care possible by offering a broad spectrum of quality healthcare providers and specialties that are affiliated with the hospital.

With the integration of JCH Medical Group, Jersey Community Hospital is also now the largest employer

The hospital name will remain the same as Jersey Community Hospital while primary and some specialty physician services will be provided through JCH Medical Group.

JCH Medical Group serves several counties, with 10 clinics in seven cities (Alton, Carlinville, Carrollton, Hardin, Jacksonville, Jerseyville and Roodhouse). The group consists of 36 providers: 23 physicians and 13 mid-level providers. Specialties include family practice, general surgery, internal medicine, OB/GYN, orthopedic, pediatrics, psychiatry-adult, and pulmonary care.

Drugs in the News

Randy Newberry, RPH

First intravenous Flu Treatmemnt Drug The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recently approved a new medication for those 18 years of age and older to help treat influenza, commonly known as the flu. This is an infection of the respiratory system by one or many types of influenza viruses. Rapivab (peramivir) is the first influenza medication on the market that is injected, as a single does, into the veins. The other currently approved influenza medications are taken by mouth as a tablet or inhaled. Rapivab works by blocking the neuraimidase protein in the flu virus to help stop the growth and spread of the influenza infection within the body. Rapivab is approved for adults who have shown symptoms of influenza for less than two days and do not yet have serious complications for the flu.

Clinical trials have shown that Rapivab helped alleviate influenza symptoms faster and helped lower a high temperature faster than it did for those who were not taking Rapivab.

It should not be taken by those who have a serious flu infection and have been infected for more than two days.

Frigid air is predicted for the region and the American Red Cross wants to remind residents to stay safe during this hazardous weather.

“These freezing temperatures can be deadly,” said Cindy Erickson, Red Cross CEO of Eastern Missouri. “We want to remind everyone to take a few safety measures before the bitter weather descends on us.”

Here are 10 ways to stay safe during this latest round of cold temperatures: 1.

Wear layers of lightweight clothing to stay warm. Gloves and a hat will help prevent losing body heat.

2.

Know the signs of hypothermia - confusion, dizziness, exhaustion and severe shivering. If someone has these symptoms, they should get immediate medical attention.

3. Watch for symptoms of frostbite including numbness, flushed gray, white, blue or yellow skin discoloration, numbness or waxy feeling skin.

4.

Bring the pets indoors. If

OBITUARIES cont'd. from B1

Dan Knoll Daniel Brent Knoll, 58, of Grafton died unexpectedly in his sleep on Jan. 1, 2015 near Rayville, Mo. He was born in Platte, S.D. on Oct. 18, 1956, one of four sons born to Garret and Mae (Van Zee) Knoll.

Dan grew up on the family dairy farm in Platte and graduated in 1974 from Dakota Christian School and went on to attend Wyoming Technical Institute where he pursued an education in the autobody field, graduating in 1975.

After graduating from Wyo Tech, he moved to Illinois in the summer of 1975, where he began working for Wilson Farms near Patterson, before relocating to Grafton to head up Uncle Andy’s Apple Orchard.

He then owned and operated River Road Wheels in Grafton from 1986 until the flood of 1993 when he moved the business to Godfrey, operating out of that location until 2000.

A man with incredible drive and a superior work ethic, Dan then went on to develop a successful line of Agribusiness companies where he had the satisfaction of being with and working alongside all of his children.

He married the former Marsha Eberlin on Nov. 25, 2000 at the Otterville Baptist Church, and she survives.

Also surviving are four children and their spouses, Autum Gettings and her companion, Ben Klopfer of Jerseyville, Amanda and Ryan Van Tuyle of Roodhouse, Kayla Knoll of Alton and Jordan Knoll and his fiancee, Katy Stiles of Kansas City, Mo.; five grandchildren who were his pride and joy, Lyla and Easton Van Tuyle, Issac Nicholas and Elijah Gettings, and Ezra Klopfer; his parents, Garret and Mae Knoll of Hamilton, Mont.; three brothers and their spouses, David and Maryann Knoll of Platte, Steve and Jill Knoll of Lancaster, Ky., and Tom Knoll

of Big Timber, Mont.; several aunts and uncles, including a very special aunt, Wilma Knoll; along with numerous nieces, nephews, cousins and extended family members.

He was preceded in death by a granddaughter, Madyson E. Purcell, and his grandparents, Nick and Margaret Knoll and Gerrit and Hattie Van Zee. Dan enjoyed life to the fullest with his favorite past times being riding his Harley, boating, hunting, and above all else, spending time with his grandkids. He loved being a man of God and spreading his love for Christ. His devotion of giving to others will not be soon forgotten, neither will his smile.

Visitation will be from 3 to 8 p.m.

Friday, Jan. 9, at Crawford Funeral Home in Jerseyville, where funeral services will be conducted at 10 a.m. Saturday with the Rev. David Prosser officiating.

Burial will take place at Scenic Hill Cemetery in Grafton.

Jersey girls defeat Greenfield Monday night

By Kory Carpenter Jersey County Journal The Jersey varsity girls found themselves in the win column for the second consecutive game Monday night after defeating the Greenfield-Northwestern Tigers, 68-19.

It was a game that wasn’t quite indicative of the score thanks to plenty of missed opportunities at the rim by the Lady Tigers.

But with a steady defense and plenty of outside shooting, the Panthers pulled away by

the end of the first quarter.

Four different Jersey girls scored the team’s first 12 points.

“That balanced scoring is what every coach wants,” first-year Jersey coach Kevin Strebel said. “You are hard to guard whenever you have balanced scoring.”

That balance didn’t just come from the five starters, either. Sophomore guard Bethany Muenstermann came off the bench and made an impact immediately, knocking down her first three 3-point attempts.

“She shot it really well last year as a freshman and she is figuring out she needs to do other things,” Strebel said of Muenstermann, who finished with 12 points.

“She is becoming a better defender, and she is probably rebounding better now as well.

If she does that she can help you in all facets of the game.”

Greenfield had some success slowing down the Jersey offense in the second and third quarters, limiting the Panthers to 25 points in the 16-minute span. That was par-

tially due to a new defense in which three Greenfield girls played a zone near the paint while two others played man-to-man.

“They confused us a little bit,” Strebel said of the triangle-and-2 zone deployed by Lady Tigers head coach Caleb Williams.

“They mixed up their defense a little, and that’s great.” Strebel added that he would like his team to eventually know how to attack all kinds of defenses.

Unfortunately for the Lady Tigers, their defensive success didn’t translate to points

on the offensive end of the court. The Jersey defense, led by senior Lia Roundcount inside, stifled the Greenfield attack. The Tigers struggled to score when they got the ball in the paint, and missed shots quickly led to Jersey fast breaks.

“A lot of that came from our defense,” Strebel said of the easy buckets his team was able to score in transition.

Jersey brings its two-game winning streak home to face Carlinville Thursday night at 7:30 p.m.

Southwestern girls win ‘ugly’ Former Jersey quarterback Tuesday night against Greenville heading to Eastern Illinois

By Kory Carpenter Jersey County Journal After cruising to a 16-1 record heading into the championship game of the Jerseyville Holiday Classic last week, the Southwestern varsity girls had a week off from games to rejuvenate following their 18-point loss to Calhoun.

But after a 10-2 run to start the game against Greenville Tuesday night at home, the Lady Piasa Birds looked somewhat flat.

You could call it a holiday break hangover. Head coach Steve Wooley prefers the term “lull.”

Greenville tied the game at 23 early in the third quarter before taking a brief 30-26 lead a few minutes later.

“We weren’t playing well again,” Wooley said after his team’s 50-43 victory. “This is not some of our better basketball right now.”

Missed opportunities from pointblank range were partially to blame, which could have made the score more lopsided if those layups were converted.

The Birds also appeared to settle for jump shots as Wooley yelled to get the ball inside to Kelsey Rhoades, who finished with seven points.

“We haven’t played against a lot of zone this year,” Wooley said. “I’m glad we got to play against a team that did that because we might see a little bit of that down the road.”

With shooters like Madison Greeling (22 points) and Erin Laubscher (12 points) it could be easy to settle for outside shots against a zone. Those long misses almost came back to haunt the Birds, however, when they looked up at a four-point deficit in the third quarter.

“In a long season you’re obviously going to go through some times where you aren’t playing as well, and this seems to be one of them for us,” Wooley said. “You just have to play through it.”

After a 3-pointer, steal, layup, and put back from an offensive rebound suddenly gave the Birds a 33-30 lead, “playing through it” looked to be exactly what they were doing.

A 3-pointer on the opening possession of the fourth quarter made it 37-30 Southwestern, and the Birds held on for the 7-point victory. They improved to 4-0 in the South Central Conference and 17-2 overall.

Wooley doesn’t seem to put a stronger emphasis on conference games as his team is tied atop the South Central conference standings with Carlinville. The postseason looms large.

“I want to see consistency every night regardless of whether it’s a conference game or not,” Wooley said. “Obviously they are important in terms of winning a championship, but as far as trying to prepare our team for the postseason, you can’t really have a lull.”

And when those lulls appear, winning ugly could be the sign of a great team.

“I told them I don’t feel like we’ve had an ugly win all year,” Wooley said. “So obviously we’ll take an ugly win more so than a loss.”

By Kory Carpenter Jersey County Journal Former Jersey quarterback Mitch Kimble had more than a few opportunities to play Division-1 college football heading into his senior season two years ago. He chose upstate New York and the University of Syracuse, a cool 900 miles away from his hometown.

But after getting lost in the shuffle

“He is doing the right thing for him and his family.”

and attempting 19 passes in two years in the ACC, Kimble decided to transfer closer to home, choosing Eastern Illinois over Illinois State and Western Illinois.

“He gave it a great chance,” Kimble’s high school coach Dave Jacobs said on Tuesday afternoon.

“The starter got hurt, so that kid is coming back. And the other two guys were freshman he was going against, so he was just kind of caught.”

That starter was Terrel Hunt, who suffered a broken leg in October. Kimble rose up the depth chart, and another injury –this time to freshman quarterback A.J. Long- gave Kimble his first opportunity at the collegiate level.

On Nov. 8 Kimble completed six of 13 passes for 37 yards and also rushed for a touchdown against Duke. He played a little bit the following week at Pittsburgh but was soon back on the bench.

With Hunt returning from his injury and Long still ahead of him on the depth chart, Kimble decided there were more oppor-

tunities to play back home. He narrowed his list to Illinois State, Western Illinois, and Eastern Illinois, according to Nate Mink of Syracuse.com, before deciding to be a Panther once again, this time at Eastern Illinois.

“He is doing the right thing for him and his family,” Jacobs said.

In high school Kimble set JCHS school records in both points scored and total yards, combining to throw and run for 2,384 yards while leading the Panthers to a 10-1 record in 2012.

Jacobs had nothing but good

things to say about Kimble, using phrases like “tremendous” and “moral integrity” and “strong work ethic.” Kimble brings ACC experience to an Eastern Illinois team that went 5-7 in the Ohio Valley conference this season.

And because they play at the FCS level, Kimble will be eligible to play next fall.

“He has gained 10 to 15 pounds since he went to Syracuse, so he is coming back bigger, faster, stronger smarter,” Jacobs said.

“Eastern is getting a good one.”

Illinois Ducks Unlimited chapter works to improve water quality in Illinois River According to Ducks Unlimited and USDA's Natural Resources Conservation Service, a project near completion in Woodford County will demonstrate how water quality in the Illinois River, and ultimately, the Gulf of Mexico can be improved by restoring wetlands on private lands.

Local contractors are working to finish construction of an 83-acre wetland restoration project adjacent to the Woodford County State Fish and Wildlife area. The project, designed by Ducks Unlimited biologists and engineers, will serve dual purposes—provide habitat for migrating waterfowl, and improve water quality in the Illinois River by trapping excess nutrients and sediment.

As part of the project, a portion of the water in Richland Creek will be diverted through the newly restored wetland site. An excavated area in the wetland will capture and store sediment, while aquatic plants growing in the wetland will help remove excess nitrogen from the creek water before it flows into the Illinois River. The wetland is designed to allow floodwater from the river to enter the wetland pool area during flood events. This water is temporarily stored, which helps to reduce downstream flooding and allows for filtering of nutrients. It's a win-win.

According to Eric Schenck, Manager of Conservation Programs for Ducks Unlimited, funding for the Woodford County project was provided by the Wetlands Reserve Program (WRP) as part of the Mississippi River Basin Initiative (MRBI), a federal program administered by the Natural Resources Conservation Service. NRCS purchased the permanent easement on the land, which means the benefits will last forever.

The purpose of the program is to help address concerns about excess nutrients in the Gulf of Mexico by reducing nitrogen run-off from crop-

lands in the Mississippi River Basin.

"The land where the wetland is restored is frequently flooded and was formerly farmed," Schenck said. "Fortunately, the farm family who owns the property is very conservation-minded. They decided to enroll a portion of their land in WRP to reduce nitrogen coming from their farm and from other farms upstream.

This project would not be possible without the family's commitment and willingness to build it."

According to Schenck, the Woodford County project is the second wetland restoration project that Ducks Unlimited has constructed along the Illinois River that includes water quality improvement as a specific purpose. Ducks Unlimited is actively raising funds as part of their Big Rivers Initiative for a third Illinois River project and is hoping to use this same technique to restore wetlands at other similar sites surrounding the Peoria Lakes.

"We know we can restore wetlands that will be beneficial to both wildlife and people," says Schenck.

"We just need to find more landowners who are willing to work with us, and supporters or programs willing to fund these kinds of innovative, multi-purpose wetlands."

NRCS offers many volunteer programs and financial incentives that help landowners protect natural resources, restore wetlands and improve water quality. According to local NRCS District Conservationist Jeremy Beck, "If you want to do something on your land to make a difference, NRCS and helpful partners like Ducks Unlimited can make it happen. Just ask."

Note: NRCS' Wetland reserve Program was replaced by the Agricultural Conservation Easement Program in the new Farm Bill. The new program allows for the same benefits and incentives using easements for wetlands, grazing lands, and production agriculture.
