Missouri names highway section after Jerseyville man

DAYS ARE A TIME TO PLAY

NEWS

By BOB CROSSEN Jersey County Journal Signs on Missouri Highway 370 will memorialize a Jerseyville man who died in a work-related accident near the road in 2013.

Patrick J. Bray sustained fatal injuries after being hit by a 55-gallon drum in the summer of 2013 while working on a barge downstream from the Blanchette Bridge rehabilitation project.

Joy Bray, Patrick’s sister, said the construction worker held family above all else.

In fact, he made sure everyone attended family gatherings.

“Everything was family. Everything was mom and dad. He wanted to be his dad,” Joy said. “He was always out at my mom and dad’s helping them, and making sure when we had get-togethers everybody was there. … Pat always knew when somebody wasn’t there.”

For a large family – Pat was one of eight children – Joy said she admired his desire to ensure the family was close-knit.

Applying to have his name memorialized put Joy in touch with state senators and other elected officials in Missouri. It took a lot of time, she said, but the application was finally approved Jan. 9.

Receiving word that his name would be memorialized on Missouri Highway 370 from the highway’s intersection with Interstate 70 traveling east to Main Street in St. Charles was a bitter sweet feeling.

“It’s a good and a bad day because we got the news, but that brings it all back; why we’re doing it,” Joy said.

Patrick was a Jerseyville native. He attended Holy Ghost Grade School and graduated from Jersey Community High School in 1980 before joining the military. He served at Fort Riley and spent time in Germany as a supply sergeant in charge of weapons.

His daily work with weapons in the U.S. Army inspired his desire to pursue gunsmithing as a hobby. He had just been accepted to a gunsmithing school in Indiana prior to his death.

Patrick had earned enough to retire from his job, she said, but he continued working so he could support his daughters Kayla and Kelli Bray and his granddaughters Alexis, Alayna and Alyse Williams.

“He was all about family. It was important to him that he kept his family, his girls and his granddaughter,” Joy said.

Patrick, who died at 51, spent so much time helping others, Joy said, that he almost never had time to himself. She hopes that selflessness will be passed on with his legacy, a reminder of which will adorn Missouri Highway 370.

According to a letter from the Missouri Department of Transportation to Bray, the signs were to be ordered by Feb. 18, and their delivery will take between six to nine weeks.

A dedication ceremony date for the installation of the signs is forthcoming.

By BOB CROSSEN Jersey County Journal City council members unanimously approved field preparation and light fees, in addition to reservation rates, for baseball fields maintained by the Jerseyville Parks and Recreation Department.

Commissioner Glen Ketchum said Angela Sullivan, parks and recreations director, compiled a list of rates and policies for baseball fields maintained by other parks and recreation departments in the area.

Sullivan said Jerseyville’s rates were too low and did not cover the costs associated with preparation of the field, nor the expense to have lights running for night games.

“Up to this point, we have not had a policy or reservation form of any sort, and it’s been a standard $25. That’s for field prep, the field reservation and lights, if necessary,” Sullivan said. “We are giving away our goods and services at that rate.

It’s way beyond time that we need to revisit the fees.”

With the fee changes, the department has

Approved during the meeting Tuesday, the reservation is $25 per game, but does not include the labor associated with preparing the field for a game nor the cost of operating lights.

Preparing the field will be an additional $25 per game, and $15 will be required to operate the lights per game. The additional fees will cover not only the labor of the

employees, but also the cost of using supplies.

Sullivan said the reservation fee will not be refundable – even in the case of rain – because a reservation removes a time slot’s availability for use, and is lost time for the department.

Similarly, there will be no refund for the preparation costs for a field unless the cancellation of that service comes before employees begin the work or use any materials needed to prepare a field.

Field preparations and lights are not required.

Mayor Richard Perdun said cancellation due to rain is not the fault of the individual reserving the field. Sullivan said teams should monitor the weather for a game prior to making a reservation.

“As far as the research I did, most cities do not refund that rental rate,” Sullivan said.

“That’s time that we could not schedule games.”

By BOB CROSSEN Jersey County Journal A mayoral candidate who brought up concerns of transparency with the city council questioned the attendance records of some members, including his opponents in the April election, Tuesday night.

Cliff Coats, candidate for mayor, cited a section of the city ordinances relating to termination of members of the board and commission appointed by the council. According to the ordinance (2-1-1), absence at two successive meetings or three meetings in a calendar year is cause for dismissal from a council-appointed board.

“If you’re holding these people to this high standard, how come the council doesn’t hold itself to that standard?” Coats said. “How come the council members themselves are missing so many meetings?”

He said Commissioner Glen Ketchum had the best attendance of any commissioner, but asserted Andy Macias, commissioner and mayoral candidate, has missed 17 meetings in two years.

A Jersey County Journal review of regular meeting minutes shows Macias missed six regular meetings since the beginning of 2013, and attended four regular meetings by phone in that same time span.

Firefighters face tough conditions in rescue training

By ROBERT LYONS Jersey County Journal Preparing for emergencies beyond fires, members of the Jerseyville Fire Department took part in a water rescue training exercise last week.

Firefighters donned wetsuits as they entered the frigid water at Wock Family Lake Thursday night to develop skills and techniques for rescuing victims. Jerseyville Fire Chief Alan Gowin said the department has not had to make a water rescue in his time with JFD but, with many lakes and ponds in and around the city, it is a real possibility that the equipment and training could be put to use.

“Across the road from the city lake, we had a guy drive his car off into the little lake there,” Gowin said. “There’s always a need for it.”

Gowin said training has been an important focus for the department in recent years, so he used a portion of the department’s annual budget to make

it happen.

“We’re trying to take care of our community the best we can,” Gowin said.

Thursday night’s training was instructed by Alton Fire Chief Bernie Sebold, who teaches classes for firefighters at Lewis and Clark Community College. Sebold also played the part of the victim trapped in the water while Jerseyville firefighters used ropes and a jon boat to rescue him.

Firefighters who could fit into the wetsuits – some were too tall, according to Gowin – entered the water, while others stayed on land, and contributed by handling the ropes and other rescue equipment.

The lake was illuminated by the lights on the department’s rescue truck.

To combat the cold air and water temperatures, firefighters took breaks in a heated bus provided by Dean Long.

Gowin said he plans to continue to expand the department’s abilities by obtaining a new brush fire unit and rope

rescue equipment. He hopes to secure grants to purchase the equipment.

The department recently

received some rope training by repelling from the top of large grain bins. Those exercises, too, were instructed by Sebold.

“Around here there’s a lot of grain elevators, and if we’ve got a guy up there who has a heart attack, we’ve got to know

how to get him down safely,” Gowin said. “He took us up on top, with all of his ropes, then everybody repelled down it.”

Midwest Gobblers celebrate 30 years

By RoBeRt Lyons Jersey County Journal Still thriving after three decades, the local chapter of the National Wild Turkey Federation is celebrating a milestone anniversary in 2015.

In 1985, 24 local hunters with an interest in promoting and preserving local hunting traditions established the state’s very first NWTF chapter, Midwest Gobblers.

Based out of Jerseyville, the chapter includes members from Jersey, Greene and Calhoun counties, as well as other nearby communities.

Neil Waters, past Midwest Gobblers president and current district director, said the great community interest and support over the years have been key to the chapter’s longevity.

“We’re the oldest chapter in Illinois, that means a lot to us,” Waters said. “We’ve been around long enough to where we’ve got enough people that we can do a good job.”

The mission of Midwest Gobblers, and NWTF as a whole, is to bring positive attention to hunting and conservation efforts, as well as ensuring there are hunters for generations to come. Programs like JAKES (Juniors Acquiring Knowledge, Ethics and Sportsmanship) and Women in the Outdoors (WITO) are integrated to garner interest from children and women.

Throughout the year, the Midwest Gobblers chapter sponsors youth hunts, hunter safety courses and other events that further the federation’s mission. But, it also does quite a bit of community outreach. Holiday food baskets and scholarships for high school students are a few of the ways the Midwest Gobblers makes contributions.

“The money we raise we put back in the community to show that we support the community, also,” Waters said. “We pride ourselves in being able to support these outreach programs in the area.”

The chapter also raises money for NWTF projects that are administered on the local, state and national level. Eighty percent of the more than $500,000 raised by the Midwest Gobblers in its 30 years, according to information from Waters, stays in Illinois. Some of the local projects have included annual JAKES events, which is designed to introduce children under the age of 17 to the outdoors and all of its opportunities.

“It’s not just about hunting,” Waters said.

“We want to expose them to other things in the outdoors, like fishing, shooting and archery. We have speakers come in and talk to them.”

The focus on the youth extends to the NWTF’s WITO program. Waters said it is an excellent resource for single mothers to gain an education and understanding of the outdoors, and pass it along to their children.

The Midwest Gobblers is one of the state’s most highly decorated NWTF chapters, winning numerous awards over the years. One of the proudest accomplishments, according to Waters, was receiving the 20-year Golden Gobbler award, which was given for achieving at least 60 percent net to gross in revenue at the annual banquet over two decades.

During its 30 years, two Midwest Gobblers members have been recognized by the NWTF with the Marvin Henderson Award, which is given annually to one volunteer in the state for outstanding individual contributions to NWTF. Waters and fellow past president Blake Pazero

have received the award.

Both men have also served on the Illinois NWTF board of directors, along with other Midwest Gobblers members Blaine Pazero, Mike Stumpf, Roy “Pudgy” Fleming, David Harper and Judy Harper.

The Midwest Gobblers will celebrate its past, present and future at the Hunting Heritage Banquet March 14, at the Jerseyville American Legion. Waters said the banquet is a great opportunity for the public to support the chapter, and experience the camaraderie of its members.

“We have people who don’t hunt come to the banquet,” Waters said. “It’s a fundraising banquet, it’s not just a celebratory banquet. So, we try to make sure that when you buy a ticket, you’re helping us in our mission.”

Waters said the banquet includes dinner, silent auctions and raffles, as well as presenting scholarships, handing out awards and recognizing veteran members.

The NWFT was founded in 1973, in South Carolina. Although NWTF chapters could once be found in communities throughout Illinois, Midwest Gobblers is back to being the only chapter in the tri-county area of Jersey, Calhoun and Greene. Because other area chapters have folded, Midwest Gobblers has around 200 affiliated NWTF members, and around 100 JAKES members.

Of the original two dozen members, three – Dave Harper, Blaine Pazero and Jim Twitchell – are still active members of the organization.

For more information on the Midwest Gobblers 30th anniversary banquet, or other facts about the chapter, contact Waters at 4987155.

Southwestern announces changes to district alignment declined 137 students over the last five years.

Many residents who complained about creating attendance centers were concerned about young students being on buses too long.

Under the plan approved by the board, students who ride buses will be on the bus an estimated 15 minutes earlier in the morning and 15 minutes longer in the afternoon, Skertich said. Student pickups would begin at 6:30 a.m. and car riders would begin arriving at 7:15 a.m. At 7:30 a.m. bus and car riders ride buses to their elementary school. One bus will take 51 students from Shipman to Brighton North and one bus will take 55 students from Medora to Brighton North. One bus will take 37 students from Medora to Shipman and three buses will take 141 students from Brighton to Shipman.

The Education Fund savings for 2015-16 are estimated at $534,049 and year two savings are expected to be $621,049. A transporta-

tion cost increase of $216,207 is expected the first year and the cost would be $64,808 the second year and in subsequent years. The total two-year savings are $874,083.

There is a $30,000 maintenance fund cost for an additional drop off and pick up site at Brighton North.

Potentially, the plan would reduce eight employees, but much of that is due to retirement.

During public comment resident Laura Gray presented the board with a petition asking that the school board table a decision about schools until next year.

In other action Tuesday, the school board approved a trapshooting club for the 2015-16 school year. Fees and travel expenses are to be paid by participants. Around 20 students have signed up for the club.

The board employed Steven French as high school career and technical education teacher for 2015-16.

At the time Bailey waived his right to a trial, State’s Attorney Ben Goetten said the sentencing will help bring closure to the victim.

Bailey was a member of the Southwestern Community Unit School

District No. 9 school board prior to being named president.

He held several assistant coaching positions in varying grade levels for the Southwestern district and was the head coach of the JCHS boys basketball team from the 1999 to the 2004-05 season.

He resigned from the Unit 9 school board in August 2013 and from his coaching positions last April.

Reservations (Continued from A1) Sullivan said the form is not finalized, and the policy may change before they are implemented for the next baseball season.

The policy will be enforced for games not conducted through the Jerseyville Parks and Recreation, meaning travel teams using the fields as home fields will be governed by the adopted policy.

In other business, the council:

Attendance (Continued from A1) According to regular meeting minutes from 2014, Macias missed two meetings and Bill Russell, mayoral candidate, missed three. Commissioner Yvonne Hartman missed two and Mayor Richard Perdun missed one.

Members of the city council fired back saying the ordinance does not apply to members of the city council. “[The ordinance says] members of the board of commission appointed by the city council. It does not say the city council,” City Attorney George Wittman said. “If you are an elected official, you can only be removed if there are state statutes or by impeachment.”

Holding up a copy of the ordinance and flipping to the page after the referenced the ordinance, Perdun said the ordinance governs the fire and police commission board, which is

n Approved to rezone a property at 1301 S. State to allow for the construction of a facility for Red Skye Wireless. n Approved a $1,000 tourism grant for the Ainad Shriner Circus and a $500 grant for a D.A.R.E program scholarship fundraiser. n Approved to seek bids on a new end loader for the street department. n Approved the minutes of the previous meeting and the bills.

appointed by council members. That board, along with others like it, he said, is governed by the ordinance, not the city council.

“This has nothing to do with us, but that’s what’s on the agenda,” Perdun said, noting discussion of commissioner absences is not the item for which Coats requested to be placed on the agenda. “You put yourself on for [the ordinance], and now you’re talking about something completely different.”

Coats said he would place himself on the agenda for the next meeting to discuss the attendance of council members.

Macias said those who would like to talk to him about his attendance at meetings are welcome to do so at any time, not only during council meetings.

Brighton couple runs pet transport operation

By Carmen ensinger Jersey County Journal No matter how big or how small the contribution, everyone can make a difference in this world. For Dave and Elaine Stutz of Brighton, their contribution lies in helping homeless dogs find forever homes.

The Brighton couple devotes their retirement to transporting homeless dogs from high kill shelters in Texas and Oklahoma to the east coast, where they find the dogs loving homes.

“My wife and I have been around animals for most of our lives and I don’t think we have ever had a dog which didn’t come out of a shelter,” Dave Stutz said. “When Hurricane Katrina hit, we volunteered to help out because a lot of dogs were displaced during the disaster. Our focus kind of turned from showing Palomino quarter horses to helping out homeless dogs.”

Elaine was the first one to get onboard with the rescue.

“My wife started doing what they call ‘leg transports’ where each driver drives for 50 or 60 miles with the dogs and then passes them onto another ‘leg,’” Dave said. “She

did that for about two years and then I started helping her. We were seeing so many dogs coming out of Missouri through St. Louis, and every weekend the amount of dogs grew with many more left behind.”

After working 42 years at Con Agra Mills in Alton, Dave took early retirement and Elaine retired after working at St. Anthony’s Health Center for 28 years so they could devote their efforts to transporting dogs in need full time.

In April of 2011, Dog Runner Pet Transport, LLC was formed with the only employees being Dave and Elaine.

“We like to say we have two owners, two dog handlers, two drivers and two sanitation engineers,” Dave said. “Might sound like a big enterprise, but in reality, there are only two of us – myself and my wife. We do it all.”

Their years volunteering with other pet transports gave the couple a good idea on what needs to be done regarding the safe and secure transport of animals along with what shouldn’t be done.

They took a modified horse trailer and had it built to their specifications complete with heating and air

conditioning in the dog area and sleeping quarters for themselves.

“We had a connecting door to the dog area put in from our sleeping quarters so we are never away from the dogs – even at night,” Stutz said.

“We don’t leave the dogs in the trailer and go sleep in a hotel – we are right there with them. We are a pretty self-contained operation.”

The couple makes two trips a month to either Texas or Oklahoma to pick up dogs that have been tagged by the various rescues on the east coast.

“They (shelters) temperament test them and those who pass this test are tagged and held for the rescues,” Stutz said. “They then get them spayed or neutered and up to date on their shots and put them in a home environment for a couple weeks before they ship them to the coast. This gets them acclimated to life in a house with a family.”

Each dog is transported in its own crate so it is very important they know the size and breed of the dogs they will be transporting so the dog can be in a size-appropriate crate.

Transports start on Monday and end on a Saturday or Sunday.

Pickups are made on Monday and

Tree fruit summit preps growers for season

By BoB Crossen Jersey County Journal Professional development days are just as important for the tree fruit growers in the area as they are for teachers.

The University of Illinois Extension office in Hardin held the annual tree fruit school at the Hardin Knights of Columbus Hall Wednesday, Feb. 4 to learn which chemical sprays to use when, for which insects to look out, and techniques on pruning tree limbs.

Ken Johnson, University of Illinois Extension hor-

“They’re getting a lot of good information out for protecting the crop, prevention of disease and things like that.”

Mitch Zipprich Jersey County FSA exec. director ticulture educator, said the event is aimed at informing growers about the changes in the industry.

“Updates on the research they’re doing. Updates on chemicals that are available. They all get a copy of the new spray guide for tree fruit,” Johnson said. “We have someone from the Farm Service Agency talk about the tree assistance program.”

Mitch Zipprich is the executive director of the Jersey County Farm Service Agency who spoke to the growers about that program. It is similar to the USDA’s crop insurance offerings, but deals more exclusively with tree fruit in the event of disasters.

“We’re willing to help them pay for rehabilitating a tree or removal of a dead tree and getting the ground prepped and taken care of. And getting the new tree put in the ground,” Zipprich said. “TAP is pretty well a disaster assistance program.”

Although many trees were damaged during the harsh temperatures of last year’s winter, Zipprich said his office has not seen a lot of foot traffic when it comes to the tree assistance program. He said those who are interested should give the FSA a call or research the program online.

Throughout the day, tree fruit farmers – predominantly apple and peach growers – listened to speakers with varied backgrounds and academic qualifications talk about ways to improve crops. Zipprich said the talks

would be especially helpful for those who are new to tree fruit farming.

“If you have a grandfather or a father who did it and they’re just not around anymore,” Zipprich said.

“Maybe you decide a son or daughter, whoever, to come back to the farm and want to continue it on, but you don’t have any knowledge in it. How else are you going to find it out, especially in Calhoun or a small area like that? There just aren’t very many resources.”

Joe Ringhausen owns an operates an orchard in Fieldon while his son manages a farm south of Jerseyville. Orchard farming has been a family tradition much like Ringhausen’s – and his son’s – attendance at the tree fruit school each year.

He has attended the annual meetings for more than five decades, he said, and the information about chemical sprays needed to protect crops from vicious insects or other blight is invaluable.

“Some of it is old to us, but you get the spray guide every year. I call it a Bible from the Extension. It gives you just about everything you need to know. It’s a real good horticultural book put out by the university,” Ringhausen said.

Insects and disease have been the prominent focus of discussion at the school each year, he said, noting the regular instruction keeps growers up-to-date and in touch with one another. The event acts as a reunion of sorts, he said, but the teachings are the real focus.

Refreshing oneself on pruning, which Ringhausen said is often not done enough, and on which chemicals are better suited for which situations can result in a more stable crop.

Those changes are important for other entities, as well. Zipprich said he attended the workshop as not only a speaker but also to learn about the situations with which tree fruit growers deal each year.

“They’re getting a lot of good information out for protecting the crop, prevention of disease and things like that,” Zipprich said. “Not a lot of that stuff goes on around here, so it’s extremely valuable for all the different producers around the area.”

The Southern Illinois Commercial Tree Fruit School is one of two events each year designed to inform the farmers. The second event was located in Mt. Vernon on Feb. 3, catering more to growers in that area.

Tuesday and they return to their home base in Brighton for a day.

“We usually spend Wednesday repacking the trailer and spending time with the dogs so they can get used to us and feel more comfortable with us,” Stutz said. “This ‘down’ day does serve a purpose as it breaks up the long transport between the pickup and delivery locations.”

While in Brighton, the dogs are taken out of the trailer and housed in kennels on concrete constructed of welded wire with tops complete with heat in the winter and air conditioning in the summer.

“The larger dogs are housed in the kennels during our layover at our home,” Stutz said. ‘The smaller dogs and the toy breeds have an area all their own which we call the ‘puppy rooms,’ We also have a room in our house that is set up for the overflow of small dogs, if needed.”

After each transport, the crates are removed from the trailer and cleaned. The trailer is stripped, power washed and rinsed with a

cleaning solution to sanitize it. While the trailer is drying, the crates are then washed, sanitized and stacked on their ends for drying. Kennels, kuranda beds, water bowls and food dishes are also cleaned and sanitized after each completed transport.

Then, it’s off to the East Coast to the various rescue organizations that have tagged the dogs. Each transport gives new hope to between 50 and 60 dogs. Stutz estimates they average around 1,400 dogs a year on their 24 transports.

The rescue organizations pay for the transportation, and fuel cost alone is around $3,000 a trip.

“Let’s just say we are not going to get rich doing what we do. There are a lot of expenses to this that people don’t realize. We did finally get it to where we were not having to dip into our retirement funds,” Stutz said. “But seeing the joy on the faces of the adopters or the rescuers makes it all worthwhile. I couldn’t imagine adopting a dog long distance by just going on the Internet, adopting the dog and waiting for it

to be delivered to me.”

The dogs seem to know they are being saved.

“The dogs that come out of the shelters seem to know when they come off that trailer for the last time because a lot of them will go right up to their adopters,” Stutz said.

“There will be a crowd and these dogs, for some reason, go right to the people who have adopted them.

It is uncanny and I wouldn’t have believed it had I not seen it for myself.”

After delivery of the dogs, it is back home to Brighten and a little rest before heading out for another trip.

“What makes it worthwhile to us is to see these dogs come out of these high kill shelters and know the time, work and money which goes into it from the people who pull the dogs out to be adopted to the rescues who take the dogs,” Stutz said.

“Both my wife and I decided we had spent all those years working and now it was time to move on and do something we really wanted to do.”

T

he combination of Presidents Day and more than a half-foot of snow made for an easy drive through Jerseyville at 5 p.m. on Monday. School out on Tuesday made for an easy morning and afternoon commute, as well.

It was not just the driving that was easy going.

Neighborhoods around the city were similarly quiet. There’s no denying the serene feeling that comes with a good snow, which brings life to a screeching halt.

For so many, the holidays are a time of hustle and bustle.

Then the New Year passes us by and it’s back to the daily grind. Other than the weekends – which are usually packed with the stuff that there is no time for throughout the week – there is not a lot of time to just take things slow.

For the majority of residents, who still had to go to work, on Presidents Day and on the school district’s snow day, the pace was probably still a bit toned down. Even though temperatures were freezing, with fewer people getting out to businesses and outdoors tasks undoable, it could have been a chance for some stress to melt away.

It’s important to recognize a relaxing opportunity in a situation that could be looked at as more of a stress-inducer than reliever. But, with the coldest temperatures of the winter season just now arriving, it could be a while before there’s any warm sunshine coming along to brighten up life.

It’s not paradise out there, but we think a silver lining can be found.

T

he US Department of Agriculture (USDA) offers a variety of programs to farmers.

The names of the various programs include Price Loss Coverage and Agricultural Risk Coverage. These programs are involved with a variety of crops, including corn and soybean. While all farmers are potentially eligible for the programs, they must first sign up at the local county USDA office. Enrollment for current program is currently underway – and enrollment seems to be going a little slow.

According to news reports, only 5 percent of an eligible 1.7 million farmers have signed up for USDA’s current round of farm programs. If these numbers are accurate, several things may be happening – farm programs have become too restrictive on farming practices; have become too complicated; are not sufficiently attractive, either financially or operationally; or, as farms have become larger, government farm programs may no longer be a key component in farming operations.

Farm programs have been around for a long time. The key programs started after the 1930’s Dust Bowl and have continued, in various forms, ever since. These government farm programs are all voluntary, with farmers going to their local USDA office to enroll.

However, in order to participate in a program and obtain some form of government support, farmers are expected to follow certain rules – observing specified farming practices, not planting certain crops or not becoming too big. And, while these are not always rules farmers liked, in the past, farm program benefits (and financial security) counterbalanced those operational requirements set

by USDA. Things may be changing

and the change may be reflected in the slow rate farmers are signing up for the current round of farm programs.

R e c e n t l y, dairy farmers around the country had the Guest chance to sign up for the dairy Column program that BY WILLIAM was created in the most recent C. BAILEY farm bill. Last year, as dairy farmers were first able to sign up for the new dairy program, the US Secretary of Agriculture sensed signup for the program was not going well and extended sign up not once, but twice. When the deadline for farmer sign up was finally reached, USDA declared victory, proclaiming more than half of the country’s dairy producers had signed up for the new program. Actually, 50.4 percent had signed up, but that was still more than half, as the USDA press release proudly attested.

The deadline to sign up for the current round of key farm programs is March 31. When you drive by your local USDA office, take note how many vehicles are in the parking lot. USDA hopes the parking lot will get a lot fuller, before the March 31 deadline, than it has been.

USDA refers to farmers as its “customers.” One wonders, what happens if customers don’t show up at the party given by USDA?

Your VIEWS All for the price of a stamp…

TO THE EDITOR: Since our country was founded, the U.S. Postal Service has connected friends, families, neighbors and businesses by mail. Our original mandate called for an institution that would provide universal service to all Americans. That mandate is just as important to this nation today as it was over 240 years ago.

Today, the Postal Service delivers messages, gifts, commodities and merchandise to over 150 million addresses. From the northern most top of Alaska to the southern tip of Key West, customers can expect to pay the same rate for letter postage as well as receive the same outstanding service. Yes, we deliver; everywhere, every day.

But I’m not just talking about the delivery service you get for your 49-cent stamp; I’m talking about the many other intangibles we provide to the communities we serve.

Employees of the Postal Service are proud to be good corporate citizens and great neighbors.

Throughout the year, our employees help find missing children; assist residents in distress; deliver mail and peace of mind following natural disasters; participate in the bone marrow donor program; collect food for the needy; contribute millions of dollars to charities; and volunteer in community service activities.

As an organization, we are working hard to protect the environment while raising funds for important causes like breast cancer research.

The Postal Service is on the forefront of environmental initiatives as we work diligently to reduce our carbon footprint. And through the sale of semi-postal stamps, we are collecting millions of dollars for important causes, like breast cancer research, with over $80 million accumulated so far.

Door-to-door, town-to-town, coastto-coast – the U.S. Postal Service delivers more than just the mail.

Our employees and our organization make a difference in the communities we serve, all for the price of a stamp.

Accuses Democrats of lying about PTELL TO THE EDITOR: Thomas Jefferson, third President of the United States, wrote, “He who permits himself to tell a lie once, finds it much easier to do it a second and third time, ‘til at length it becomes habitual, he tells lies without attending to it, and truths without the world believing him. This falsehood of the tongue leads to that of the heart, and in time depraves all its good dispositions.”

That is exactly what has been going on with regards to PTELL. The Democrats have been lying about it. George Hatfill stated that PTELL has nothing to do with the projected budget cost. It does have everything to do with it because it limits the amount people can be taxed.What he seems to be saying here is that raising taxes is something that everybody has to deal with. This is promoting socialism.

Some of the taxing bodies (the roads and bridges, for example) are taxing below the CPI. If PTELL became a law and the amount to be levied was at the CPI, they could get more money. The school district is one of the taxing bodies that is responsible for the county being in the situation it is in. In fact, the ones who are speaking out the loudest about this law work for the school

district and usually it is teachers speaking out.

Over the next several weeks there will be a series of town hall meetings. There will be information about PTELL presented. The public is invited to attend.

Toys for Tots thanks community TO THE EDITOR: Christmas is a time of joy, happiness and goodwill. It is a time of giving and helping those who are less fortunate than ourselves, especially the children. For over half a century, one organization, the United States Marine Corps-is the unchallenged leader in looking after America’s less fortunate children at Christmas.

The concept of the Toys for Tots program is that the local Toys for Tots Coordinator will conduct a local community toy collection and distribution campaign starting in October and ending in mid-December.

The Robert Windle Detachment of the Marine Corps League in Jerseyville has been assigned by the Toys for Tots Foundation the local responsibility for the Toys for Tots Campaign for Jersey, Greene, Calhoun and northern Macoupin counties.

It all began in December 1947, with a handcrafted doll. The wife of Marine Reserve Bill Hendricks made this doll and asked her husband to deliver it to an organization that would present it to a less fortunate child on Christmas Day. To his dismay, Major Hendricks could not find an agency to provide such a service. To help fill that void, Major Hendricks and members of his Los Angeles Marine Reserve Unit collected and distributed 5,000 toys to needy children of Los Angeles during Christmas 1947. The following year the Marine Corps Reserve adopted the program and collected and distributed toys in 74 communities.

Fast forward to 2014, the Toys for Tots Program has grown tremendously since its inception 67 years ago. Today, Toys for Tots serves over 750 local communities covering all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands.

At the end of the 2013 Campaign, Toys for Tots has collected and distributed over 419,580,000 toys to the less fortunate children of America.

We sometimes hear, especially when a potential donor is trying to choose between two or more worthy charities, one of which is Toys for Tot, they say: “It’s just a toy. With all the problems facing the children in America today, what difference does a toy make?”

I submit to you that the Marine Corps discovered the answer 67 years ago. The answer is “HOPE.” Think about it, how many times can a child miss out on the simple joy of a toy at Christmas before he or she begins to lose hope?

We know from the smiles on children’s faces and from the grateful appreciation of their parents, that the simple gifts of a shiny, new toysomething that many of us take for granted-can make a tremendous difference in the life of a child. Hope is the key, and hope is what the Marine Corps Reserve is giving to the less fortunate children of America through the Toys for Tots Program.

Today it is my honor and pleasure to let you know that during the Christmas season of 2014, Toys for Tots collected and distributed 2, 375 gifts to the less fortunate children in our service area of Jersey, Greene, Calhoun and Northern Macoupin counties.

Over the past four years, The Robert Windle Detachment of the Marine Corps League in Jerseyville,

Advertising: Jack Kallal jkallal@campbellpublications.net

through the Toys for Tots Program, has distributed 8,371 gifts in our service area. Now, more than ever, Toys for Tots need’s the assistance of the local communities and organizations to help us make it better than ever in the years ahead.

Our web site: jerseyville-il.toysfortots.org will open for applications Oct. 1, 2015. Please remember: “Every child deserves a Merry Christmas.”

Facts on state funding of schools TO THE EDITOR: In my last letter I indicated a need to start with a brief history of the funding support to education by the state of Illinois. My quest led me to Google “Illinois Education Funding Facts” from the Educator Advisory Council.

FACT Illinois students, educators and schools face higher expectations. Yet deep cuts to education funding make it difficult to improve.

FACT Illinois public schools lost 1.4 billion dollars when adjusted for inflation in state funds during the past four years.

FACT For the past two years, the Illinois Legislature paid school districts only a portion of the general state aid owed, thus requiring proration. Proration is a means by which funds are lowered by a set percentage amount.

My next question is how in the world did our state get to this financial dilemma? (This information gained on the website of the Institute of Government and Public Affairs at the University of Illinois.)

New analysis by the Fiscal Futures Project finds no easy fix to Illinois’ chronic fiscal imbalance. Illinois now faces a 9 billion dollar annual deficit that will grow to 14 billion by FY2026. “Years of pay-later budgeting has resulted in a massive imbalance between sustainable revenue and spending,” said Richard Dye, co-director of The Fiscal Futures Project. “Like a person in deep credit card debt, the state has been spending more than it can afford and is covering the gap by issuing IOUs.” The report finds that the state’s IOUs now total 159 billion dollars. This is more that twice the inflow of revenue in a single year.

The problem cannot be solved with spending cuts alone. Because Illinois can’t cut debt service or pension payments, it would take at least a 20 percent cut of all remaining spending to eliminate the deficit. This includes education, corrections, Medicaid, public safety, transportation and more.

My final touch of history, lest we forget, four out of the last eight governors went to prison for various charges. This dates back to when Otto Kerner was then governor from 1961-1968, who was convicted of bribery.

If you think of state funding for education and local funding for education as being on opposite sides of a great balance scale, you will see the trade off. As state funding gets less on one side of the scale then the burden of funding gets greater on the local side of the scale.

In my next letter I wish to address just how much funding has been cut to our schools in the last four years.

A side note: The other three governors convicted were Dan Walker 1973-1977 (bank fraud); George Ryan 1999-2003 (racketeering); and Rod Blagojevich 2002-2009 (corruption charges).

Carrollton approves liquor license for Oasis addition

By Carmen ensinger Jersey County Journal Carrollton City Council members unanimously approved the issuance of a liquor license to Norby’s Steaks and Slots, which will be opened in the back portion of Goetten’s Oasis.

Jon Goetten, owner of the Oasis, addressed the council on behalf of his father, Norbert, who will be the owner of Norby’s Steaks and Slots.

“What we are going to be doing is essentially splitting the building in half and opening the restaurant up in the back,” Goetten told the council.

“The only thing physically going to change about our building is the kitchen is going be split into two separate kitchens so the two businesses will be two separate entities.”

The establishment of two separate businesses with two different owners will allow the addition of five extra video gaming machines in the building.

“The gaming machines will sort of absorb a little of the risk of opening up the back,” Goetten said. “But, before we can apply for the gaming machines, we must have a liquor license.”

According to state law, an establishment which possesses a liquor license may request up to five video gaming machines, but no more than five.

“This project is still in its infancy and I know it seems strange to apply for a liquor license before we have the business up and running, but all of this hinges on us getting the additional gaming machines,” Goetten said. “If we can’t get the additional liquor license, then there is no reason to go any farther with the plans for the back.”

The city has two Class A liquor licenses currently available. The license, which would include Sunday sales of liquor, would cost an additional $312.50 per quarter for the city coffers. The city also receives 5 percent of the revenue generated from the gaming machines.

Once the additional machines have

been approved by the state, Goetten said the business would probably be up and running in three months. These machines would be located in the south banquet room.

“What we are going to be doing is essentially splitting the building in half and opening the restaurant up in the back.”

American Cancer Society seeking teams for Relay For Life of Jersey County The American Cancer Society is recruiting teams from businesses, schools, families, places of worship, and more to participate in the Relay For Life of Jersey County event, which will be held Saturday, May 30, at Jersey Community Hospital. The theme for 2015 is “Relay like a Rockstar,” and is excited to get started planning this year’s event. Relay For Life teams are committed to finishing the fight against cancer and raise funds to support the American Cancer Society’s lifesaving mission. Teams and individuals can sign up for the Relay For Life event by visiting relayforlife.org/jerseyil or by calling 1-800-227-2345.

The Relay For Life program is a communitybased event where teams and individuals set up campsites at a school, park or fairground and take turns walking or running around a track or path.

Each team has at least one participant on the track at all times. Cancer survivors and caregivers take a celebratory first lap to start each event. Four million people participated in more than 6,000 events worldwide in 2014. Last year, 196 people participated in Jersey County and raised over $36,000, all to support the Society’s mission to finish the fight against cancer once and for all.

“The Relay For Life movement unites communities across the globe to celebrate people who have battled cancer, remember loved ones lost, and take action to finish the fight once and for all,” said Kayla Frank, Relay For Life event lead. “Many participants are our family, friends, and neighbors who have faced cancer themselves. Each new team that registers brings us one step closer to saving more lives.”

Owner Goetten’s Oasis The council approved, by a 5-1 vote, to have a representative from Locis, the vendor for the city’s financial software, come and do onsite training with Treasurer Debbie Dunlap at a rate of $80 an hour plus travel expenses. The only dissenting vote came from Alderwoman Sharon Butler who said the city should wait until the position of water clerk is filled, so they could also sit in on the training.

“I think it’s foolish to pay for just one person to learn it,” Butler said.

“Don’t you think we should wait will we have a water clerk before we approve anything?”

Dunlap said city employee Marty Gross had volunteered to sit in on the training, that had been tentatively scheduled for Feb. 16, which was a holiday for the city. She also said she did not expect the training to last more than eight hours. At a rate of $80 an hour, it should not cost the city more than $640 for the day, plus travel expenses for the representative.

The next city workshop will be held Wednesday, Feb. 24, at 7 p.m. at city hall. The next regular finance meeting will be held Wednesday, March 10, at 6 p.m. followed by the water and sewer committee meeting at 6:30 p.m. and the regular council meeting scheduled for 7 p.m.

Dean court dates continued to March

By BoB Crossen Jersey County Journal A Calhoun County hearing for a man charged with aggravated criminal sexual abuse was continued to late March.

A grand jury indicted Michael F. Dean on the felony charge in December, when he was also charged with three counts of forcible sodomy and three counts of kidnapping in Dunklin County, Mo. State’s Attorney Richard J. Ringhausen said the Calhoun Circuit Court is waiting to see the outcome of Dean’s charges in the Missouri court system before moving forward with the local case. The charges Dean faces in Missouri are more severe, he said.

According to court records, Dean is scheduled for a preliminary hearing March 26 at 1 p.m. in Dunklin

County. His local court date is also scheduled for the same day at the same time. Ringhausen said the conflict was coincidental.

The Normal Police Department arrested Dean last August on three felony drug charges. In court, accusations about sexual assault were levied against Dean. Those accusations were based on photos of naked men shackled at the wrists allegedly found on a camera among Dean’s possessions at the time of his arrest.

The Normal Police Department, with aid from the Calhoun Sheriff’s Department, executed a search warrant on Dean’s property in October.

Dean’s most recent appearance in the Normal Circuit Court was supposed to have been Feb. 6, but was rescheduled to April 17 at 11 a.m.

Dean served two terms on the Kampsville Board of Trustees in 2001 and 2003.

JERSEY COUNTY JOURNAL

Station’s closing marks end of era for Schell family Submitted by Cindy PariSh For the Journal The relocation of the TriCounty FS gas station has evoked a burst of nostalgia for some Jerseyville residents. Prior to being FS Fast Stop, the service station was owned and operated by Raymond Schell and was called Ray’s Service Station.

It was a Phillips 66 gas station with a full auto service and repair shop. When the gas pumps for FS Fast Stop were removed from the station in January, members of the Schell family began to feel nostalgic. Seven family members recently gathered at the old station to relive childhood memories and snap some photographs.

One childhood memory the siblings cherish is of a 1966 photograph of the entire family poised in front of the station. “I remember this picture being so important to Dad,” said Pat Schell.

“He wanted to get a picture of his six boys and six girls in front of his Phillips 66 station, and it was 1966.” There were actually seven Schell brothers. The youngest, Jim, was a “bun in the oven,” Schell said. Agnes Schell, Raymond’s wife, was pregnant with Jim at the time of the 1966 photograph.

When a car or truck would pull into the station, an attendant would greet you, pump your gas, clean your windshield and check your engine oil level. That kind of service is from a previous era and soon the station will be, too.

The station is being razed to make way for a new business coming to Jerseyville, CVS Pharmacy.

Critchfield qualifies for state

Submitted photo

Jersey’s Brandon Critchfield wrestles Civic Memorial’s Drake Boverie in the Mattoon Regional championship match Saturday. Critchfield finished second in the 132-pound weight class and qualified for the state tournament in Champaign.

By KoRy CaRpenteR Jersey County Journal Jersey junior wrestler Brandon Critchfield finished second in the 132-pound weight class in the Mattoon Regional Saturday, but it was good enough to earn him a trip to Champaign for the state tournament this weekend.

It will be Critchfield’s third consecutive state tournament appearance.

He finished fourth last season as a sophomore and he looks to continue that success this weekend.

“I expected to be here,” Critchfield said of his upcoming state tournament appearance. “But you never know what is going to happen.”

His coach, Allen Snyder, echoed that sentiment. Snyder is impressed with Critchfield’s season thus far but he knows anybody is one bad match away from going home this time of the year.

“He didn’t get first in his regional or sectional,” Snyder said. “So it is certainly not a cake walk.”

Critchfield said there have been a couple of close matches this season that didn’t go his way, but he is excited to make it back to Champaign.

“He is pretty quiet about it,” Snyder said. “But I think he is pretty psyched.”

Critchfield is 35-8 on the year and highlights what Snyder believes was a successful season for the wrestling team.

“It has been a long season,” Snyder said. “But the kids have worked hard. We finished a lot better than where I thought we would finish, and that is all because of their hard work and determination.”

Critchfield’s first match is Thursday night against Robert Zebrauskas of De La Salle (Chicago).

Turnovers doom Jersey girls in regional

Kory Carpenter/Jersey County Journal

Jersey’s Aly Varble looks to escape a Triad double-team Tuesday night.

Jersey lost, 56-44.

By KoRy CaRpenteR Jersey County Journal The Jersey girls basketball team had eight days to figure out how to overcome a 23-point loss to Triad if it was to advance to the second round of the Jerseyville Regional.

The Panthers stormed out to an 9-2 run in the rematch Tuesday night and the Feb. 9 loss to Triad felt more like eight months ago than eight days.

But the Knights began pressing and the Panthers began to struggle.

The second quarter looked eerily similar to the second quarter last week and Jersey found itself down 25-16 at halftime.

“I told the girls before the game that we need to put four quarters together,” Jersey coach Kevin Strebel said after the 56-44 loss. “You’ve got to be pretty good defensively if you are only going to score five points in a quarter, and weren’t quite good enough defensively.”

Triad sped up the game with its press and fast-break attempts and Jersey struggled to handle the pressure. The Panthers played even with the Knights in the second half and cut the lead to 40-29 after three quarters thanks to a Kiara Chapman layup at the buzzer, but the Panthers would not get closer in the fourth quarter.

Senior center Lia Roundcount ended her career with 11 points in her final game.

Junior guard Lauren Davis led the Panthers with 15 points and sophomore guard Bethany Muenstermann added 11 with three 3-pointers.

Both players are expected to be back next season, as is the rest of the team with the exception of Roundcount.

“Lia’s leadership will be hard to replace,” Strebel said.

“Hopefully, everyone is committed to having a great summer.”

Streble is entering his first offseason as the varsity girls coach, and he hopes the summer will be calm and productive.

The previous two summers were met with coaching changes, and 2014-15 marked the third consecutive season the varsity team played with a new head coach.

That means players like Davis, Muenstermann, Chapman, and Caroline Crawford will have the luxury of mastering a system next season rather than starting over.

And Streble has plenty he wants to work on before next fall.

He wants his players to be ready to attack the basket as soon as they catch the ball and to go up strong in the paint, rather than fading away. That, he said, will lead to more free-throw attempts, which every coach desires.

“That was the difference in the game,” Streble said. “They scored 17 from the line and we scored three from the line. And we lost by 12.”

Southwestern boys receive No. 1 seed despite loss

By KoRy CaRpenteR Jersey County Journal The Southwestern boys basketball team saw its eightgame winning streak snapped Tuesday night in a road loss to conference rival Hillsboro.

The Piasa Birds led after one quarter, 12-11, but Hillsboro took a 29-27 lead at halftime. Briston Johnson led Southwestern with 24 points and the Birds took a 43-39 lead into the fourth quarter.

Hillsboro was too much to handle in the final eight minutes, however, and the Hilltoppers won, 57-54.

Southwestern drops to 6-2 in the South Central Conference, giving Greenville (9-0 SCC) the regular season conference championship.

The Piasa Birds close out the regular season Friday night at home against Pana and host their regional, which begins Monday night.

Southwestern received the No. 1 seed and a bye into the second round, and will face either East Alton-Wood River or Carlinville Wednesday at 7 p.m.

Southwestern is a combined 3-0 against its potential second-round opponents, winning by an average of 28 points.

The regional championship is set for next Friday at 7 p.m.

Roxana, the No. 2 seed, appears to be the likely oppoMichael Weaver/Jersey County Journal nent should Southwestern advance that far. Southwestern Southwestern’s tyler Rose drives past a Vandalia opponent Friday won the regular season contest 66-55 on Feb. 10. night. Southwestern won, 61-47.

Sessions announced for Putting Small Acres to Work Seminar March 7

Do you have a few extra acres you’d like to put to good use? Whether it’s an old farmstead, a fallow green space, or a great big yard you’d rather not mow, you probably have some ideas about what it could become. “How to get started is the question,” said Andrew Holsinger, horticulture educator for University of Illinois Extension in Christian, Jersey, Macoupin, and Montgomery counties. “That’s why our Local Food Systems and Small Farms Extension team is hosting workshops around the state called Putting Small Acres to Work.”

“Putting Small Acres to Work” will take place on March 7 at Lincoln Land Community College in Litchfield. The day will provide educational sessions on growing a profitable small farm enterprise. “The sessions will offer information for those interested in creating additional income, exploring new enterprise opportunities, or taking an existing interest or hobby to the next level,” said Deborah Cavanaugh-Grant, local foods and small farms educator in Logan, Menard and Sangamon counties.

Registration kicks off at 8:30 a.m.

There will be three breakout sessions, each having three different presentations from which participants can choose. The first session begins at 9 a.m. and the last concludes at 12:20 p.m. There will be networking opportunities and lunch will be provided.
