Sales tax passes, PTELL fails

“The voters of Jersey County have spoken.

Education won. … It’s not just the school. It’s all the county.”

Pam Heitzig Jersey County Board vice chair school facilities sales tax being approved by Jersey County voters with 3,148 votes in favor to the 2,458 votes against the matter. As of Wednesday morning there were not enough provisional and absentee ballots to overturn the countywide outcome.

Tuesday’s election was the third time the issue had been put before voters, but failed to gather enough voter support for approval in the previous two elections.

The Illinois Department of Revenue will be notified of the sales tax approval before it may be instituted in Jersey County.

The process can take several months before it is completed.

For example, Calhoun County approved the school facilities sales tax last November, and it will not be instituted until July.

The school board, during its regular meeting March 19, approved a resolution to put 45 percent of the revenue generated from the sales tax toward its facilities debt payments.

The remainder will be used for facilities improvements, many of which are mandated by the state.

Although the school board has not expressed a desire to do so at this time, the revenue could also be used to issue bonds as they relate to facilities.

Sales tax was only one of the two contested political issues on the ballot April 7, but the second question failed to pass by a large margin.

Property Tax Extension Limitation Law (PTELL) was shot down by voters with a nearly 2-to-1 ratio with 3,513 voting against the measure and 1,992 voting in favor of it. If PTELL had passed, it would have limited the amount of tax dollars

“The turnout is good. That’s what you like to see. If individuals don’t want the PTELL, then they don’t.

They’ve spoken.”

John Houseman PTELL proponent issued to taxing bodies by five percent or the rate of inflation, whichever is lower.

Final phase of Delhi Road project underway

By ROBERT LYONS Jersey County Journal Later this year, Jersey County’s portion of Delhi Road will be like a new driving experience.

In the meantime, however, drivers are encouraged to choose a new route, or take the detours put in place. Work began last month on the second of two phases to widen and resurface the roadway.

Kamadulski Excavating and Grading Company, a Granite City firm, is heading up the project to reconstruct Delhi Road. This phase addresses the 2.7 miles between Stagecoach and Grange Hall roads.

“Basically, we’re putting in new pipe culverts, re-grading ditches, widening the road and adding cement stabilization,” Jersey County Engineer Tom Klasner said.

County residents watch the election results come in Tuesday night over their mobile devices, as well as a screen projected onto the wall of the county board meeting room. Voters decided several races and two hot topic issues during this year’s consolidated election.

Election decides mayor, councils, school boards

By ROBERT LYONS Jersey County Journal Jerseyville elected a new mayor by a wide margin Tuesday. William “Billy” Russell defeated fellow councilman Andy Macias and local businessman Clifford Coats.

Russell garnered 1,136 of the 2,292 votes cast for mayor, leaving his two challengers to split the rest almost evenly. Macias finished with 594 and Coats received 562 votes.

Current mayor and candidate for commissioner of streets and public improvements Richard Perdun also bested two opponents. Perdun received 1,083 votes, while Chase Travers finished with 752 votes and Dean Comer had 429 votes.

Former County Clerk Steve Pohlman landed a seat on the Jerseyville City Council as the commissioner of public health and safety, defeating opponent Daniel DeSherlia 1,352 votes to 893.

By ROBERT LYONS Jersey County Journal The 5,671 voters who cast ballots Tuesday was a 60 percent increase over the April election in 2013.

Two years ago, just 3,456 ballots were cast and 3,132 in 2011. County Clerk Pam Warford said she was pleased with the participation in her first election since taking office late last year. More than 30 percent of the county’s 18,122 registered voters cast ballots this year.

“I expected it to be good, but I was surprised it was over 30 percent,” Warford said of the total turnout.

“I feel pleased so many

showed up to express opinions either way.”

The clerk said her staff, which was in place when she assumed the job, helped her get up-to-speed quickly, and was also integral in preparing and conducting the election.

“Things went very smoothly. We had a few minor equipment problems, but nothing we couldn’t quickly resolve and keep the voters going,” Warford said. “We had excellent people involved, from the judges to the election night workers.”

The next election in Jersey County will be primary in March 2016.

Jerseyville, Illinois

Election

(Continued from A1) on the matter. Only five other times has PTELL been approved in Illinois during a spring election, and none of those approvals occurred in counties south of Springfield.

Reactions of both disappointment and happiness were evident at the Jersey County Annex Building Tuesday night as proponents and opponents reacted to the final totals on opposite sides of the room.

Former county board member John Houseman, proponent of PTELL, said the voter totals were a stark contrast to the advisory question last November when voters heavily favored voting on the PTELL matter with 5,412 voting for the right to cast a ballot on the issue and 2,487 voting against that right.

The increase in voter turnout was a welcome outcome, but Houseman worried about the county’s future.

“The turnout is good. That’s what you like to see,” Houseman said. “If individuals don’t want the PTELL, then they don’t. They’ve spoken. … Hang on to your pocketbook because your taxes are going up.

Significantly. All your taxes are going up.”

PTELL had first been brought to the political scene by Houseman’s wife, Stephanie Houseman.

The Jersey County Board approved a committee to research the issue, and that committee recommended to the county board not to place the issue on the ballot.

Proponents of the matter were not deterred by that opinion, however, and campaigned to have a voice on the issue. Their efforts were rewarded after the November election when the board approved to place the matter on the ballot Tuesday.

Opponents of PTELL were in high spirits when the unofficial results were displayed at the government building.

Pam Heitzig, Jersey County Board

vice chair, said she was happy with the results regarding PTELL and the sales tax.

“The voters of Jersey County have spoken,” Heitzig said. “Education won. … It’s not just the school. It’s all the county.”

Heitzig said the students’ campaigning efforts are what made the difference in the election, to her.

Lisa Higgins, a Unit 100 school teacher, echoed Heitzig’s sentiments that the quality of student education won the election. Leading up to the election, she said she passed out information on the issues to people in her precinct. The outcome, she added, is good for students.

The efforts of those students to educate themselves on the issues was impressive, she added.

“They have a right to stand up and take sides and they are paying attention and they are listening and they are forming their own opinions,” Higgins said. “This was not a parent telling them to go out.”

County board member Roger Newberry, proponent of PTELL, said the campaign efforts of school teachers made the difference in the election.

“Did the people believe the lie rather than the truth?” Newberry said. “There was so much put out about the PTELL and the sales tax. It seems like the teachers and the educators counteracted everything that we said. And did the people believe everything that they said, rather than the truth? I really don’t know of another way to say it.”

As for the future of PTELL in Jersey County, Houseman said it is not clear if the issue will be brought forward again to gain more traction.

Those in favor of the law, he said, will review the election results to analyze the differences between the vote in November and the vote last Tuesday.

Project

(Continued from A1) When finished, each direction of travel will have an 11-foot lane with a four-foot paved shoulder on each side, according to Klasner. The engineer said the road currently varies in width from 22 to 26 feet, but this phase will bring it to a consistent 30 feet wide.

The purpose of the project, Klasner said, is to increase safety and comfort of travel. The first phase of the project, between Oak Rest and Grange Hall roads, was completed in 2011.

During the project, the road is closed to through traffic, but is open to local traffic. Drivers are being detoured on to Range Line and Grange Hall roads over to Illinois Route 16 while work is underway.

“There will be times the road will be totally closed,” Klasner said.

Klasner said he is hopeful the project is complete by the end of October.

“He’s making good progress these last couple of weeks,” Klasner

said of the contractor. “He’s doing some tree removal and pipe culvert replacements right now.”

The two bridges that fall within the boundaries of the current phase will not receive an alteration.

However, the intersection of Mitchell Creek and Delhi roads will be addressed.

“Mitchell Creek Road kind of came out at a bad angle onto Delhi Road, so we’re making improvements to it,” Klasner said. “It’s going to come out pretty much perpendicular to Delhi Road on a new alignment. That’s for safety purposes.”

Phase 2 is estimated to cost $2.7 million, and is being paid primarily with federal funding, which covers 80 percent. The county’s portion is left at $540,000 for construction costs.

Ultimately, Klasner said more traffic is anticipated in the area as the U.S. 67 Corridor progresses farther into Jersey County.

Kane names Plummer village president

By CarmEn EnSinGEr Jersey County Journal Voters of Kane elected Michael Plummer as their village president during Tuesday’s consolidated election.

Plummer narrowly defeated his opponent, John Adams, by only six votes. Plummer received 54 votes to Adams’ 48. Amanda Tisdale ran unopposed for the office of clerk in Kane while Greg Walters, Shelley Adams and Pamela Ruyle were elected to four-year terms as trustees of the village. Kendra Young was elected to a two-year term on the Kane Board of Trustees.

The Greenfield school board had four open seats with only four candidates. Incumbents Elliott Turpin and Josh Roberts were elected to another four-year term along with Rodney Knittel and Christopher Weller.

Jersey County voters also approved the school facilities sales tax increase of one percent.

The added revenue follows students, meaning the Greenfield and Southwestern school districts will see a share of the income.

The revenue raised by the Jersey

County sales tax increase may be used for the school district to pay for issues relating to facilities. The money can pay down bonded facilities debt or to pay for improvements to district buildings, including health life safety projects mandated by the state.

The tax increase in Jersey County will not be imposed on unprepared foods like fresh produce or other groceries, nor will it be imposed on prescriptions. Auto-mobile sales will also not require the added tax.

Jersey County developers show interest in Calhoun County

By BoB CroSSEn Jersey County Journal Following no action to create a liquor license for his proposed business, Fred Ingram requested the Calhoun board consider issuing a package liquor license if he were to build a gas station at the location instead.

Ingram, Hawg Pit manager, had approached the commissioners during a regular meeting in March about starting a bar and grill at the Golden Eagle Country Store to cater to visitors of the county and its residents.

Neighbors of the proposed business spoke out against such an establishment citing noise and privacy concerns. The commissioners ultimately did not make a motion to amend its liquor ordinance to allow Ingram a liquor license for the business.

Chairman Doug Wilschetz said Ingram has since shown interest in starting a gas station at the location, as was suggested by those in attendance during the March meeting. He requested the board make a commitment to offer a packaged liquor license if the station were to work out.

Commissioner Gene Breden said Ingram should understand the zoning requirements for a gas station at that location before committing to the project.

The land is zoned for commercial use, but according to the zoning ordinance, its particular zoning tag allows for a car wash, automotive repair, or battery and tire service station, but not a gas station. To change it, Breden said Ingram will have to bring the issue to the zoning board of appeals to have a public hearing for a special use permit.

The cost of such a hearing,

Breden said, could be large because all neighbors must receive certified mail and be given the right to attend the hearing where they may voice their concerns.

“There are just a lot of requirements,” Breden said. “Keep in mind, if he does get a special use permit from the county, that does not mean that he will meet state requirements to put a gas station in there. That lot may not be big enough.”

Breden said he does not think the neighbors of the property would like the noise of a gas station, and those individuals will likely come to a zoning hearing.

Board members also questioned the ability for a gas station to make a profit when many residents in the south end of the county purchase gas when they visit Missouri for work or shopping.

In terms of the liquor license that would be issued, State’s Attorney Richard J. Ringhausen encouraged the board to make clear the kind of liquor license Ingram could receive if he were to build a gas station at the location.

The license suggested would allow only for the sale of beer, wine or liquor in packages that may not be consumed on the premises.

Breden said zoning could be an issue for a different development, one that initially began in Jersey County, interested in property parcels in the county.

American Heartland Fish Products, he said, has expressed interest in property in the northern part of the county for a fish plant.

The company initially opened a plant north of Grafton Hills Drive in Grafton last spring, but was met with numerous complaints from neighbors about the odor emanating from the business.

Prior to receiving a $550,000 grant from the state of Illinois, partners of the company assured residents the plant would not produce any odor because of state-ofthe-art equipment developed by an company in Alabama.

After months of complaints at city council meetings and a visit from the EPA, the Grafton police chief ordered the plant cease oper-

ations for being a nuisance due to odor.

AHFP Partner Ben Allen said the company would be looking for a new location for its business, and last Thursday, commissioners expressed interest in bringing it to the county if there were a spot that were isolated enough so as not to rise complaints from county residents.

War Memorial bricks available The Jersey County War Memorial, which is located on the courthouse lawn in Jerseyville, has undergone some major changes over the past few years with the laying of memory bricks being one of the memorial’s biggest changes. To purchase a brick for the memorial, send a check for $50 to the Jersey

Also include the person’s name, rank and which war they served in and which branch of the military they served in. Each time, a copy of an honorable discharge of DD214 must be provided.

If you would like to purchase a plate, call Floyd Alexander at (618) 498-4941 or (618) 223-9594. The cost is $25 per plate.

Julie Alexander serving as Honorary Chair for Jersey County Relay For Life The American Cancer Society is pleased to announce Julie Alexander will serve as honorary chair for this year’s Relay For Life of Jersey County event, which will take place at Jersey Community Hospital on Saturday, May 30.

Julie Alexander was diagnosed in June 2013 with Stage 4 Cancer (Rectal, lungs, liver, stomach and ovarian). “I am determined to beat this horrible disease. I look at each day as a new start, I tell myself I do not have time to be sick. My husband and I have two daughters in college and we want to be able to take part in every journey that they adventure on. I do have bad days at times and I am mad some days, but I look around and see that there are other people in worse shape that I am in, so I pull myself up by my boot straps and keep marching forward. I truly appreciate my

family, friends and community that continue to pray for me and show their support. As I tell everyone, people complain sometimes about a small town and everyone knows your business, but let me tell you, I would always want Jerseyville/ Jersey County on my side in any fight that I am in. I pray daily that the cause and a cure is found!”

The Relay For Life of Jersey County will be held at the Hospital grounds at the Jersey Community Hospital and each team will take turns walking or running around the makeshift track. Each team is encouraged to have at least one participant on the track at all times.

Cancer survivors and caregivers take a celebratory first lap to start each event. Teams raise money in the months before and day of the event in a variety of ways. Four million people participated in more

me going is helping people. I was volunteering at a craft fair by passing out information regarding services and programs ACS provides.

After about six hours, I felt a little depleted and was ready to pack up, when a woman approached me... she said she had just been diagnosed with cancer and she was so thankful for the information I provided to her. She needed someone to talk to, and tell her story to...and I was there to listen. Individuals like that are the reasons why I do what I do. You never know when you can change someone’s life.

Jersey County is lucky to have such a great community that is willing to help, and if I ask a favor or need help I rarely get a ‘no.’ I just ask for people to come, to donate, to support, to help spread the word about our event, and the programs and services ACS provides...the community is why Jersey County succeeds,” says Kayla.

To better connect volunteers with the wide range of opportunities

First hearing scheduled for May

rior to the polls opening Tuesday morning, one thing was already clear; things were going to be shaken up.

Every position on the Jerseyville City Council, including the mayor, was up for grabs. Only two of the five current council members even had a chance of having a seat at the conclusion of the election. There was also the distinct possibility there could be five completely new faces leading the city. Three school board seats were available, with two incumbents running in the six-candidate field.

The way things played out, a mix of old and new candidates are getting an opportunity to serve in some of the community’s most vital roles. The voters’ ballots voice a trust in Tuesday’s victors that the local government will act in the people’s best interest. And with a 60 percent increase in turnout over the 2013 April election, that voice was loud and clear.

But, with all the attack ads, campaign signage and other tension that mounted in the days, weeks and even months leading up to the election, it was evident that everyone is not on the same page. Therefore, there are certainly contingents who are not satisfied with some, or every, aspect of Tuesday’s results.

Regardless, it’s time to move forward and work together to make the cities and school district the best they can be with the resources available. Those resources were protected with the failure of property tax extension limitation law (PTELL) and approval of the one cent sales tax.

A primary election will be held in about a year, and there will be another chance to bring in new people with fresh ideas. In the meantime, our leaders need to be given the opportunity to do what they were elected to do.

'Thank You' to an often thankless job I

had an instructor at SIU, Phil Greer, who told me all the time that you’ll get more out of journalism than you’ll ever put in. While Phil had a little more perspective – having been around the world as a photographer for the Chicago Tribune – his words ring true even working here in Jersey County.

Journalism has taken me to some amazing places and allowed me to meet some great people. For more than a decade, I have been allowed into people’s lives. I have shared in their triumphs and been affected by their tragedies.

Over the years I have been places and seen things that would be off-limits to others. My motto became “I get paid to do what most people pay to do,” or if I was feeling especially arrogant, “I don’t pay, I get paid.” Looking at my actual paycheck always put me right back in my place.

A common phrase heard in newsrooms and journalism classrooms is you get paid with a byline.

This business is largely built on ego.

But, the Jersey County Journal, Greene Prairie Press and Calhoun News-Herald (all papers under my watch as regional editor) are also built upon the hard work of good people. I want to thank all of them.

The ones I worked closest with over the years, I’d like to recognize by name.

Carmen Ensinger, the Greene Prairie Press reporter, never hesitates to take on an assignment and

YOUR VIEWS Thanks from the Midwest Gobblers Chapter of NWTF TO THE EDITOR: The Midwest Gobblers Chapter of the National Wild Turkey Federation (NWTF) would like to thank all the generous donors, sponsors, members, patrons and volunteer committee for making our recent 30th anniversary hunting heritage fund raising banquet celebration a huge success. With your help, this banquet surpassed all our previous fund raising efforts. The community has been extremely gracious to our efforts over the years. Some donors have been with us the whole journey, some are new and some come and go. It only matters that you have helped. In supporting us, we try diligently to return the favor.

The Illinois NWTF is a volunteer, non-governmental organization composed of hunters and conservationists that raise money for Illinois projects through local banquets and other events. Last year the Illinois Super Fund provided over $200,000 in support of habitat and hunting heritage projects.

Since 1985, over $3 million has been raised and spent in Illinois.

Our chapter was the first chartered chapter in Illinois in 1985. We are proud of the fact that we have raised funds in the local community and we have access to that money to put back into the community. We have spent money to support the hunter education program, youth and women’s programs, purchased equipment for Conservation Police Officers, local food banks, placing educational material in schools, annual high school senior scholarships, youth hunts, 4H shooting program and informational presentations and seminars.

All of these activities are performed by a group of volunteers I am proud to say I am a part of. Three of the group have been active since the inception of the chapter. This is dedication, hard work and lots of elbow grease. This is why our chapter and some of the members have achieved statewide recognition over the years, surpassing the simple thought of just wanting to help.

This chapter has achieved great things and hopefully we will be around along time to keep the torch burning. The mission statement of the NWTF is, “Dedicated to the conservation of the wild turkey and the preservation of our hunting heritage.”

NEIL WATERS Banquet Chairman Midwest Gobblers, NWTF Jerseyville, Ill.

has always demonstrated a passion for the people of Greene County.

Bob Crossen, reporter for the Journal and News-Herald, is one of the hardest workers I’ve ever met, always willing to do whatever is asked of him. He is smart and reasonable, and I’m confident he will make a great regional editor.

I’ve been lucky enough to have Kory Carpenter as my sports editor for the past three months. Kory shows a ton of promise and will be an asset to the community for as long as he is here.

Jong Cambron was my first supervisor at the Journal, and helped shape my understanding of the role of the Journal within the community, as well as the way to conduct yourself as the editor. His guidance has influenced me throughout my time with the Journal.

Last, but certainly not least, is Sue Heitzig. For those of you who do not know, Sue is my mother-inlaw, which has been an interesting dynamic for the workplace. But, we’ve both made it work favorably.

Regardless of the family tie, without Sue I am confident the Journal would not be nearly as successful as it is has been. She knows more people and more about the history of this community than the rest of the staff combined. She is the glue that keeps the team together - she was before I got here and I’m sure she will be after I’m gone.

There are several others who have made my day-to-day job more enjoyable, and I apologize for not

highlighting all they’ve done for me.

Now for the reason I’ve said all this stuff.

T o d a y marks the Another beginning of a new Perspective chapter in

BY ROBERT my life. I am stepLYONS ping away from the newspaper industry. I am pursuing an opportunity that was simply too good to pass up, and that will utilize my current skills in a new environment.

The Journal has been a special place. There are not many weekly newspapers that offer the quality and commitment to the community as this one. This job would not be possible without the support and cooperation of so many sources. I forged professional relationships with people from all walks of life, ones I hope will continue on well into the future.

I am sure there are aspects of working at the newspaper that I’m going to miss. At the moment though, I’m so excited to be moving on, while staying right here in the city that is home to me, my wife, Haley, and our brilliant son, Andrew. n Robert Lyons is the former regional editor for Jersey County Journal.

EDITORIAL

S

ince you read my last column, I have been gone through somewhat of a life metamorphosis—again. You’d think that by the time you reach my age, one would already have established a wellworn path toward a life of success and achievement. Well, while I have achieved much in the first half of my life, I know there is so much more to come.

The relationship I share with my husband has allowed me to achieve a level of satisfaction in life unlike anything I’d known before. Adding to that is having the two most amazing young men you’ll ever meet call me Mom every day. My oldest will make me proud yet again when he proceeds up the aisle to accept his MFA degree next month, and it won’t be much longer before my youngest has his dual Bachelor’s degrees. Successful parent indeed!

My own educational pursuits have led to success as well, culminating with a Master’s degree in management a few years back, and expanding through further course studies since.

You see, I believe that lifelong learning in its many forms is key to success, at least in the world where I want to live. But there’s also something else that has brought me success before.

And I had been struggling with

applying that “something” again lately, until a reminder jumped out and slapped me in the face on a recent Friday morning. Thanks to the events of that particular day, I was reminded of it—the law of attraction, and how it works.

Most of you are probably aware of the law of attraction. Basically the premise is “like attracts like.”

The idea is that what you think is what you draw to you, or attract. If we share happiness, we attract happiness. If we are respectful, we are respected. And if we are honest, we will receive compassion. It’s all in the choices we make and how we choose to approach life every day.

Essentially it is the application of the Golden Rule with only a positive focus.

An article by Aimee Groth and Ashley Lutz appearing in a past issue of “Business Insider” points out that the law of attraction actually dates back to the days of Abraham.

And while some say this concept has little to no merit and is basically just a bunch of hooey, there is scientific research to substantiate the effects of positive thinking.

Many notable people have admitted to drawing upon this power of the universe in order to achieve success. Joel Osteen endorses the power of positive thinking, as does Oprah Winfrey. Olympic medalist

Michael Phelps has been noted as well for visualizing himself winning each night before he went to sleep…now he has a pile of gold as his Guest reality.

On that Column recent Friday

BY MELISSA morning and CROCKETT on the days that followed, I had to remind myself to focus my energy on the power of positivity and keep guard against the negative toxicity of others. I had to remind myself first and foremost that I believe in me, I know what I know, and that I can trust those who also believe in me.

And in the end, whether or not the law of attraction was really at play here, it sure felt better to have a positive outlook than to be focused on all the negatives.

Rejoicing feels so much better than anger… n Melissa Crockett Meske has served as a guest columnist for the Jersey County Journal since 2006.

YOUR VIEWS Students seeking information on Illinois TO THE EDITOR: I am writing to you for a class project on the novel “The Watsons Go to Birmingham.” My classmates and I are contacting newspapers all across the country in a state that we wish to learn more about. I wish to learn more about Illinois because I’ve only been there to visit my cousin who lives in Chicago, and I know very little about the state in general.

I am writing to ask your readers to please write back and tell me why they like Illinois, interesting facts about

the state, and what visitors can do there. They can write to my school’s address below. If they could also include a copy of the newspaper in which they saw my letter, it would be greatly appreciated. If you have any questions, please contact my teacher’s email at aweisser@ queenofpeace.cc or you may contact her by phone at 574-255-0392 ext. 123.

Thank your for your time and consideration.

Jerseyville, Illinois

First Church of Christ, Scientist holding open house There exist many misperceptions about Christian Science in the world today. The Christian Science church in Jerseyville (First Church of Christ, Scientist) is holding an open house and has invited a national speaker to help the community understand what Christian Science is all about.

The speaker, Maryl Walters, will give an informational talk, “What is Christian Science?” at the church on 1118 S. Liberty Street in Jerseyville Tuesday, April 21, at 7 p.m. The open house will begin at 6:30 p.m., and refreshments will be served.

Following her talk, Walters will answer questions from the audience.

Walters is a Christian Science healer, teacher and national speaker.

She is an interfaith activist, serving on the Cabinet of the St. Louis Interfaith Partnership. She has a Masters of Theological Studies degree and represents the Christian

Science church on the Interfaith Relations Convening Table of the National Council of Churches. She is also involved in the Compassionate Cities initiative in St. Louis. In addition, she speaks nationally as a member of the Christian Science Board of Lectureship and participated last year in a panel at Lewis and Clark Community College along with a representative from the Mormon church and Sikh Study circle.

As the founder of Christian Science states in one of her writings, “When the doctrinal barriers between the churches are broken, and the bonds of peace are cemented by spiritual understanding and Love, there will be unity of spirit, and the healing power of Christ will prevail.” –Mary Baker Eddy, Pulpit & Press For more information on the event, call Carolyn Burns at 618374-5834.

April newsbits from IDNR Free Fishing Days for 2015: Mark your calendars for the 2015 Illinois Free Fishing Days promotion on June 5-8.

Wingshooting Clinics: The IDNR and its partners and co-sponsors will be holding wingshooting clinics at sites throughout Illinois through early November this year. Most clinics are conducted on weekends. Youth/Women’s Wingshooting Clinics are about learning to safely shoot a shotgun at a moving target with reasonable reliability. Girls and boys typically in the 10-15 age group – and women of all ages – are eligible to participate. Hunter Wingshooting Clinics are hands-on, and include extensive live fire at a variety of clay target presentations on sporting clays courses specifically designed for teaching typical hunting situations. Check the wingshooting clinic schedule online at http://dnr.state.il.us/lands/landmgt/ programs/wingshooting/WingshootingDates.htm Neandertals: The Illinois State Museum Science Series program on April 8 is “There Are Neandertals Among Us!” Presented by Dr. Fred H. Smith of Illinois State University, the program examines the debate over the role of Neandertals (commonly spelled Neanderthal) in the ancestry of modern people -- the longest running controversy in human evolutionary studies, and one of the oldest in science.

Enjoy the free program on Wed., April 8 at 7 p.m. at the Illinois State Museum Research and Collections Center, 1011 East Ash in Springfield. For more information, phone 217-782-0061.

and other recreation areas, but it is prohibited in any area designated as a dedicated nature preserve. Areas under the jurisdiction of the IDNR that offer spring turkey hunting are not open to mushroom collecting until after 1 p.m. daily to ensure the safety of all site visitors. Mushroom hunters are urged to call ahead to the state site they intend to visit to learn of any sitespecific regulations regarding mushroom collecting.

JERSEY COUNTY JOURNAL

NEWS

Jerseyville, Illinois

COTA family celebrating organ donors during Donate Life Month April is national Donate Life Month. Rest assured that Crosby Hoots’ parents (and likely the entire town of Mt. Zion) will be promoting organ donor awareness throughout this month as a way to thank the family who donated their child’s liver -- a selfless act that saved Crosby’s life.

Crosby began his life on April 20, 2012, when Philip and Gina Hoots traveled to Indianapolis for their second attempt at in vitro fertilization. They were hoping for success this time around and 14 days later, Gina got the call with the news they had been waiting for … she was pregnant. Crosby Steele Hoots arrived right on schedule on Jan. 7, 2013, weighing 7 pounds 12 ounces.

Gina and Phillip were ecstatic. However, on Jan. 9 their joy turned to anxiety when one of the routine newborn screening lab results showed an elevation in Crosby’s direct bilirubin levels. He was airlifted to the neonatal intensive care unit in a nearby city where he was kept for seven long days of grueling medical tests. Finally, Gina and Phillip heard the news they had come to fear -- the specialists suspected biliary atresia. The diagnosis was confirmed in midMarch and Crosby underwent a surgery called the Kasai procedure, which is an operation to create an open duct so bile can drain from the liver. The Kasai procedure is not a cure for biliary atresia, but it does allow babies to grow and have fairly good health for several years.

Unfortunately, Crosby’s Kasai was unsuccessful, and Gina and Phillip were told a liver transplant would be his only chance of survival.

Gina blogged, “I never thought Crosby would be facing a lifethreatening diagnosis. All medical problems can be fixed, right? We are so lucky to be living in today’s world. Sigh of relief, right? Not so fast. Ten percent of babies die from biliary atresia. My baby has a real risk of death.”

In early June, Gina blogged, “I think I’ve been living in denial the last couple of months. Sure we still keep our doctors’ appointments. Yes, we are still giving Crosby mega doses of vitamins and antibiotics every day. And yes, we keep mixing high calorie formula to ensure Crosby gets every bit of nutrition he can. I keep writing this blog and updating everyone on the latest. He’s so happy and looks so healthy to me. We still can’t see his illness. We can see the jaundice and floppy muscles and teeny tiny

body, but we think he is pretty perfect the way he is.”

By the end of June, Crosby’s team of specialists told Gina and Phillip it was time for his transplant evaluation at St. Louis Children’s Hospital. Gina had heard about the Children’s Organ Transplant Association (COTA) from other liver transplant parents she had encountered, and she decided it was time to reach out and do some research. She and Phillip knew the financial impact of the transplant was going to be huge. The Hoots family had great medical insurance, but they soon discovered there were so many out-of-pocket expenses, including co-pays, prescriptions, loss of income and travel/lodging.

COTA uniquely understands that parents who have a child or young adult facing a life-saving transplant have enough to deal with, so COTA’s model shifts the responsibility for fundraising to a community team of volunteers. A COTA fundraising specialist traveled to the Hoots’ hometown in mid-July and by August, their COTA team of volunteers already had organized a huge COTA fundraiser in honor of Crosby.

The COTA in honor of Crosby H volunteer team worked tirelessly to tell his story using area media and various social media

platforms. This resulted in numerous individuals who wanted to give Crosby the gift of life by donating a portion of their liver.

By the end of summer Gina blogged, “So we wait.

And wait. And enjoy our time with him. Keep the bag packed in case we get the call. Not really expecting the phone to ring. Stay busy with all of the details of daily life. Now that he has been on the list for some time, we are ready to move forward. We are ready for the call. We are ready for Crosby to begin the next chapter of his very bright and promising life.”

During the fall months, Crosby continued to hold his own. The feeding tube began to deliver his nutrition during the nighttime hours and Crosby started sleeping through the night. The best news? Crosby started to grow, which caused great improvements in his muscle tone and his coordination. In fact, Crosby was healthy enough that his liver team allowed him to travel to Florida over the Christmas holiday to visit his grandparents.

Jan. 7, 2014, was Crosby’s first birthday, but because of huge snow storms and Crosby’s struggles with Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV), his party had to be postponed indefinitely. Instead of being at home celebrating his birthday, Crosby

was rushed via ambulance to St. Louis. And then it happened on Jan. 31. Gina and Phillip got the call that a liver was available.

Gina blogged, “We drove home, filled up the gas tank, dropped the dog off at the vet and headed towards St. Louis. The team was waiting for us when we arrived (three hours and 45 minutes later) and the process began. Labs, Chest X-ray, EKG all done. We had consults with the surgeon and anesthesiologist. We had a few vague updates on the donor. When all was said and done it was decided the donor was going into surgery at 0500 and Crosby would be headed to surgery around 0700.”

“Two sets of grandparents arrived. The third set was there via Skype. The night was uneventful; I’m glad we had that time to prepare. I made sure all the household bills were paid up for the next few weeks so I wouldn’t have to worry about missing a payment. COTA was contacted.

Everyone was ready to move forward. A few work obligations were finished up and it was time to get a little rest before the morning arrived.”

“At 6:45 a.m. we went down to pre-op holding to get ready for surgery. Anesthesia met us and did a quick assessment. While they were in the room, they got paged

away. When they returned, they gave us the bad news -- the liver wasn’t the perfect one for Crosby. The original intention was to split the liver into two pieces with the large lobe going to an adult patient and the smaller lobe going to Crosby. Something about the liver didn’t allow it to be split in a way that would work for Crosby. The happy news from all of that is that the donor was able to give his liver, lungs, kidneys, and heart to deserving patients.”

Crosby, Gina and Phillip returned to Mt. Zion to, once again, wait.

On June 13, 2014, the wait was finally over when Gina and Phillip were told a perfect liver was available. They packed up, once again, for an extended stay and traveled to St. Louis. Crosby received his new liver, and his second chance at life, on June 14. The COTA for Crosby H Facebook effort posted the opportunity for their supporters to purchase a T-shirt to raise funds for transplant-related expenses. The T-shirt read, “Of course I’m an Organ Donor … Who wouldn’t want a piece of this?” According to Gina, one very important thing that happened while the family waited for Crosby to receive his new liver was the COTA in honor of Crosby H team of volunteers continued planning and holding

fundraisers for transplant-related expenses.

“COTA continues to give us hope by allowing us to focus on Crosby’s health and well-being. We have learned that along with the scare of having an ill child, the financial burden is immense. We also struggled with the extended, unpaid leaves from our jobs. COTA has alleviated a huge part of our stress by eliminating the worry about finances, which has given us hope that our family can survive this transplant journey without losing everything,” said Gina and Phillip.

One day after Crosby’s life-saving transplant, Gina blogged, “We are completely overwhelmed by the outpouring of prayers, support and messages when Crosby received his second chance at life. It will never be forgotten and we will continue to pay it forward in the years to come.”

Nationwide, April is the month that is dedicated to raising awareness about the need for registered organ donors. Many COTA families are waiting to receive that life-saving call the Hoots family received less than a year ago.

RESPECTFUL STUDENTS

The character trait for March was respect. Grafton Elementary students recognized for being respectful were front, left to right, Breonah Daley, Elise Brown, Arlynn Weber. Back, left to right, Jillian Loftus and Elizabeth Richardson.

OF THE

MONTH

In conjunction with Jerseyville Banking Center, Jersey Community has selected its Students of the Month. The recipients for the month of March are Lucas Ross (9th) and Michael Wendle (8th). The selection of a Student of the Month is based upon the number of F.O.C.U.S. nominations a student receives for a given month. F.O.C.U.S. (Finding One Clearly Unique Student) is a program developed by the J.C.H.S. Student Council. Each week teachers may recognize students who have performed well in their classes by selecting them as F.O.C.U.S. students for that particular week. During March, these students received the most F.O.C.U.S. nominations. They are being congratulated by Alan Karcher, President of Jerseyville Banking Center.

By ROBERT LYONS Jersey County Journal If a report from the USDA proves true, Illinois will plant the fewest number of acres of corn since 2006.

The USDA issued a press release March 31, stating farmers anticipate planting 2 percent fewer acres of corn than in 2014. In Jersey County, that would mean 1,342 fewer acres than last year.

Tri County FS Manager Dave Lewis thinks the prediction could be true, based on seed sales and word of mouth.

“I think economics are driving that,” Lewis said. “The corn price has fallen from $6 and $7 a couple years ago to the $3.50 to $4.50 range.”

Since the costs to produce corn haven’t followed suit, Lewis said some farmers simply won’t plant as much corn as they have in recent years.

“A lot of lenders look at cash flows and budgets, and it’s hard to pencil in much of a profit today, based on what it takes to plant an acre of corn.”

By reducing the number of acres planted, like in 2006, the price of corn paid to farmers can

actually increase in the long run, as was the case in 2007.

The percentage of acres lost in corn will be made up with soybeans, Lewis said. But, to the average observer, he said there won’t be much of a noticeable difference in the number of fields planted with beans versus corn.

“That’s not a huge shift in acreage,” Lewis said. “We see that there are going to be a few more soybeans planted in ‘15 than there were in ‘14, and a little bit less corn.”

A 2 percent increase locally will contribute to what the USDA is expecting to be a record high soybean planting season for the second consecutive year in the U.S. According to a USDA report, U.S. farmers intend to plant 84.6 million acres of soybeans nationwide, as opposed to 89.2 million acres of corn.

Though it is far too early to make predictions on the quality of the growing season ahead, Lewis said conditions are currently advantageous for planting.

“At this point, we’ve got adequate moisture and we’re not super-late. If we get favorable weather in April, we can get a lot done in a short amount of time,” Lewis said.

Prices are subject to change; please refer to FabulousFox.com for current pricing. “The Rat Pack is Back!” is part of the U.S. Bank Broadway Series.

Experience the ritz and allure of classic Vegas with this swinging party of a show! “The Rat Pack is Back!” transports the audience back through time and space to a balmy night circa 1960 when four show business legends -- Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis Jr., Joey Bishop and Dean Martin -- converged at the Sands Hotel in Las Vegas for the first time. These stars delivered style with substance, swing with swagger and a non-stop party to which everyone wanted access.

“The Rat Pack is Back!” unites four of the country’s most accomplished singer/actors. Tom Wallek (Appearing as Joey Bishop); Drew Anthony (Appearing as Dean Martin); Kenny Jones (Appearing as Sammy Davis, Jr.) and Brian Duprey (Appearing as Frank Sinatra).

In “The Rat Pack is Back!,”

WILLOW ROSE HOLDS EASTER EGG HUNT

Frank, Sammy, Joey and Dean are back and do it “just one more time.” What ensues is an uncanny recreation of one of the Rat Pack’s raucous, antic-filled performances, featuring Bishop’s hilarious comedy and performances of such standards as Sinatra’s “You Make Me Feel So Young,” “A Foggy Day,” Martin’s “That’s Amoré” and Davis’ “Mr. Bojangles.”

Backing the singers is swinging 12-piece live orchestra performing period perfect orchestrations.

Willow Rose’s Community Easter Egg Hunt was a success. Basket winners from left to right: 2-year-old Lucia Lawson, 5-year-old Darien Eden, and 11-year-old Ashley Smith along with resident Dolly Liles and the Easter bunny.

Mortland ends losing streak

Kory Carpenter/Jersey County Journal

Jersey’s Catherine perkinson chases down triad forward Sydney Keller Monday afternoon. triad won, 9-0.

Jersey soccer looking to grow

By Kory Carpenter Jersey County Journal The Jersey girls soccer team started the season with consecutive wins but has experienced regression as of late, dropping three of four.

Head coach Brad Kimble said he is looking to build on the improvements his teams have made over the last few years while bringing more strategy to the field.

“Not just the kick and run mindset,” Kimble said before his team’s 9-0 loss to Triad Monday.

“I want to develop strategies on the field for them and give them options.”

He also wants to attack offensively, which showed in a 10-0 defeat of North Tech last week in the Wood River round-robin tournament.

But Monday’s game was another reminder that the Panthers might be a few steps away from regularly competing in a tough Mississippi Valley Conference, which includes schools like Triad and Waterloo.

“We are one of the smaller schools in our conference” Kimble said. “Our player pool is not that of a Waterloo or a Triad.

Those schools are turning kids down and we take what we can

Wednesday, April 8, 2015 Jerseyville, Illinois

get.”

There is some talent, however.

Like senior midfielder Robyn Johnson.

“Robyn is a special player,” Kimble said. “She has definitely been a gift to our program.”

Heading into Thursday’s game against Highland, Johnson was leading the Panthers with 10 goals on 19 shots.

Johnson believes the team can get better.

“We have been talking a lot about our mentality early in games.” Johnson said. “And bringing our full effort for 80 minutes. If that happens I think it can make a big difference going forward.”

The Panthers are entering the heart of their conference schedule with Mascoutah Monday and a rematch with Triad Tuesday before facing Gillespie Wednesday.

“We have been a little disappointed in our performances in our losses,” Johnson said. “But hopefully we can use that as motivation going forward.”

After Monday’s loss, Kimble echoed that sentiment on Twitter.

“Tough game tonight,” he wrote. “Gives us all motivation to watch a program like T (Triad).

They are spectacular. We learn, we mimic, we grow from tonight.”

By Kory Carpenter Jersey County Journal Monday morning at Schell Field could be called a microcosm of the Jersey baseball season.

A solid start by a Jersey pitcher was overshadowed by a tough day at the plate and untimely errors, leading to a 4-1 loss to Southwestern.

Drake Kanallakan worked out of a first-inning jam and held Southwestern to one run until the sixth-inning, when the wheels began to fall off.

Kanallakan fielded a sacrifice bunt and sailed his throw to firstbase wide.

After a walk gave the Birds runners on first and second with one out, a pair of infield errors on consecutive at-bats led to three more Southwestern runs.

“We don’t have guys that are going to go out and strike out 15 or 20 guys a game,” Head coach Darren Perdun said after the 4-1 loss. “They are going to pitch to contact and we have to make plays behind them, plain and simple.”

The Panthers (6-5) committed five errors in the loss despite six strong innings from Kanallakan, who gave up three hits, zero earnedruns, and struck out two.

“Drake pitched awesome,” Perdun said. “If we make every play today, he doesn’t give up any runs.”

Jersey’s lone run came on a delayed double-steal when Michael Clendenen raced home after Chace Tallman stole second.

“We are pretty aggressive anyway,” Perdun said. “But you definitely want to try and get something going when guys are struggling.”

According to senior shortstop and pitcher Jake Varble, the struggles at the plate are only temporary.

“I think baseball is 75 percent mental and 25 percent your ability,”

Kory Carpenter/Jersey County Journal

Jersey’s Hunter Bryant tags Southwestern’s Cody roberts on a play at the plate Monday afternoon.

Southwestern won, 4-1.

Varble said. “I know everybody on our team can hit well, but we have to come out and show it. We have to start a new chapter in our season and get going.”

Perdun had a long talk with his players after the loss and the team had a quick turnaround.

East Alton-Wood River came to play later that afternoon, and Will Mortland got the start on the mound.

“We told him before the game we need somebody to be the stopper after losing three in a row,” Perdun said. “And he went out there and did a good job.”

Translation: Mortland threw a

no-hitter.

It might not have been a typical no-hitter, with teammates and coaches ignoring Mortland as the crowd buzzed in anticipation.

Not many people even knew what Mortland was on the verge of doing.

Someone asked Perdun how many hits Mortland had given up, so he checked the scorebook.

Zero.

“You have to have a short memory in baseball,” Perdun said.

“Because so much can change from game to game.”

The Panthers scored 10 runs on

two hits, six walks and five hit batters.

“We were more patient at the plate, and that comes with maturity,” Perdun said. “We still have a lot of guys that are first-year varsity players,” Maturity will come with games, weather permitting.

Tuesday and Wednesday’s games against Bunker Hill and Litchfield were postponed due to rain.

The Panthers were scheduled to host Alton Marquette Thursday, although there was an 80 percent chance of thunderstorms throughout the day.

Southwestern’s Zack Seymour gets stuck in a rundown last week against north Greene. Southwestern scored five runs in the seventh inning to win, 5-4.

Southwestern wins six straight

By Kory Carpenter Jersey County Journal The Southwestern baseball team has won six straight games after starting the season 0-3.

After edging out Civic Memorial and North Greene each by one run last week, the Piasa Birds swept Routt Catholic in a double-header over the weekend by a combined score of 22-4.

Two days later they took advantage of Jersey errors to defeat the Panthers 4-1 in Jerseyville, and on

Tuesday ran past Toledo Cumberland in six innings, 10-0.

Against Toledo, Zack Seymour went 3-for-5 with 2 RBIs and Jacob Rich went 4-for-4 with two doubles and four RBIs. Scott Kasting pitched five innings and gave up three hits without surrendering a run.

The Birds are scheduled to open their conference season Friday against Staunton before traveling to Calhoun Saturday for a double-header beginning at 10 a.m.

Get the facts on ocular migraines While many people are familiar with the term "migraine headache," few may have experienced an ocular migraine. Ocular migraines, sometimes referred to as "eye migraines," are often harmless and may disappear rather quickly.

The organization All About Vision defines ocular migraines as painless, temporary visual disturbances that usually affect one eye.

Ocular migraines can be disturbing because of their symptoms. People experiencing ocular migraines may experience scintillations, or bright flashing lights or flickering.

Wavy lines surrounding an enlarging blind spot (scotoma) also can occur. Blind spots may start small but quickly grow bigger and move across one's field of vision.

Sometimes an ocular migraine is accompanied by a migraine headache and certain symptoms, such as light sensitivity and nausea, that are associated with migraine headaches. The National Institutes of Health notes that, if an ocular migraine is accompanied by a headache, the pain from the migraine is often located on the same side of the head as the eye that is experiencing the ocular migraine.

Migraines in general are not well understood, and the same can be said for ocular migraines.

The causes ocular migraines is not exactly known, but it is thought to be related to constricted blood vessels in the eye, possibly in the retina.

The Mayo Clinic says that while visual sensations associated with ocular migraines can induce anxiety and interfere with certain activities, the condition usually is not considered serious and can ease up within 20 to 30 minutes. Some people do not even realize their symptoms may be migraine-related because of the lack of associated headache.

If an ocular migraine is a onetime occurrence, sufferers need not worry. However, any vision problems should be investigated fully to determine if any underlying conditions are present and to safeguard against any long-term vision loss.

more fun, all the while fulfilling their daily recommended quotas for exercise and spending quality time with their parents. n Include kids in your own athletic pursuits. Parents might not be able to take younger kids along with them to the gym, but that does not mean your youngsters must be excluded from all of your athletic pursuits. If you have any upcoming athletic activities or challenges on your schedule, such as a new recreational sports season or community fun run or 5K, let kids tag along as you train or practice. Parents of adolescents can inquire at their local gyms if they offer discounted memberships to teens. If so, take kids along with you on trips to the gym so they learn the value and benefits of daily strength and conditioning exercises. n Make more time to play.

Parents may already have busy schedules, but finding time to play with their kids is a great way to get youngsters to embrace physical activity. Kids might be reluctant to shoot hoops in the driveway if no one is willing to join them, but they will likely be far more willing to do so if

Encourage a love of physical activity in youngsters According to the United States Department of Health and Human Services, children and adolescents should engage in physical activity for 60 minutes or more each day. While fulfilling those requirements might not have been a problem for kids who grew up before the dawn of the Internet, nowadays kids are spending less time playing outside and more time on their computers or other devices.

That reality is problematic for parents who want their kids to embrace physical activity thanks to the positive impact that exercise can have on kids' physical and mental well-being. Parents hoping to instill a love of physical activity in their youngsters may find that taking a more active role by exercising with their kids is an effective way to get them off the couch and away from their computer screens. n Turn errands into exercise opportunities. Many parents take their children along with them when running errands.

When such errands don't necessarily require the use of a car, consider riding bicycles instead.

Kids who otherwise don't enjoy errands may now find them

mom and dad are willing to play with them. This is not only a good way for parents to ensure their kids get enough exercise, but also a great and fun way for moms and dads to make time for physical activity. n Recognize that physical activity does not have to mean organized sports. Some kids have no interest in team sports while others do not have the athletic ability to compete after a certain age. Parents who want their kids to exercise more should recognize that there are plenty of ways to be physically active that do not involve organized team sports. Hiking; riding bicycles; swimming at a nearby pool, lake or ocean; and even going for nightly walks are all physical activities that people of all ages and athletic abilities can enjoy.

Physical activity is an important component of a healthy lifestyle. While getting kids to put down their tablets and gaming system remote controls may not be easy, parents who resolve to exercise with their children might find their youngsters more receptive to regular physical activity.

Common sense approach to fitness

By CARMEN ENSINGER Jersey County Journal Spring is in full bloom and summer, which means swimsuit season, is just around the corner so it is no wonder people try to make a concerted effort to lose those extra pounds packed on over the winter months.

Holly Blumeberg, a certified Crossfit, AFFA, ISSA and Biggest Loser Pro trainer, is celebrating her four-year anniversary of “My Garage Gym/Biggest Loser Live Training” in Haypress. These past four years, she has learned a lot and helped hundreds shed extra pounds and keep them off.

“Some things stay the same and one of those things is the truth about weight loss and exercise,” Blumenberg said.

“One size does not fit all when it comes to exercise but there is one fact that holds true for all – you absolutely do not need to buy expensive weight loss diet plans and meal replacements.”

Blumenberg said research shows these options seldom have lasting results.

“Some people need to feel like they are doing something ‘new’ or have a product in a bottle or jar to give them incentive,” Blumenberg said. “Some of the plans and diets out there may give you a jump start, but you have to return to reality at some point. Only when you learn to keep it simple by relying on macro nutrients such as protein, carbohydrates and fat in the form of meat, eggs, vegetables and fruit, for the basis of your diet will you find lasting success.”

She said the two questions she gets asked most often are “Do I need to do all this exercise to lose weight?” and “I am exercising my butt off so why don’t I lose weight?”

“In layman’s terms, the answer is no, you don’t have to exercise to lose weight and you are doing all that exercise and not losing weight because you continue to eat too many calories,” she said. “In reality, it boils down to calories in and calories out. To lose weight in a healthy way, we need the combination of calorie reduction and exercise.”

She said some of her clients think exercise is the only answer.

“They believe that a couple of hours of vigorous exercise and lifting weights will answer all their problems,” Blumenberg said. “They believe the weight will just fall off but they couldn’t be more wrong.”

According to Blumenberg if one did three “butt kicking” workouts per week which burned 1,000 calories each, they would still have only burned enough calories to lose less than one pound. This can easily be offset by eating an extra serving per day or one big cheat meal per week. Even though the exercise is helping one become healthier, it may not be leading to the weight loss they desire which leads them to become disgusted

with the process because they are working so hard with no visible results.

“The truth is that if you have significant weight to lose, you can do that by cutting calories only,” Blumenberg said. “A reduction of only 500 calories per day from your usual intake will equal a one pound weight loss per week.

However, when you are losing weight in this manner you are not only losing fat, you are losing muscle that is essential to a shapely, healthy body. You need to preserve or build muscle while losing weight and the only way to preserve muscle while dieting is to exercise with an emphasis on weight training.”

If a 175 pound woman needs 2,375 calories to maintain her current weight and she reduced her calorie intake by 775 calories per day to reach a 1,500 calorie diet, she would save 5,435 calories per week. If the woman increased her exercise level by only 300 calories per day, she would burn an extra 2,100 calories per week.

Losing weight only by diet has its own set of drawbacks.

“If you lose body weight by diet only and lose muscle mass, you obviously become less strong as your body composition changes,” Blumenbergs said.

“Even though you may weigh less, your body mass index (BMI) may not change in the way you want.”

The big drawback to this method of weight loss is that without exercise, when your calorie consumption returns to normal one will gain the weight right back “When you gain this weight back after losing it without exercise, you don’t automatically regain the lost muscle mass,” Blumenberg said. “Most of the regained weight will be in fat stores so your body fat percentage will be higher than before the initial weight loss.”

Repeating this pattern of behavior is

setting one up for the old “yo-yo” syndrome everyone has heard of.

“Every time you lose weight without exercise and then gain any weight back, you change your body composition to be fatter and less muscular,” Blumenberg said. “Muscle burns more calories than fat so it goes to reason that the higher the muscle to fat ratio, the higher the rate at which your body uses calories will be.”

Following this pattern long enough causes the BMI to get out of balance making it harder and harder to lose weight because the fat to muscle ratio is so askew.

“You get fatter even if you weigh less than when you started,” Blumenberg said. “You can be normal weight and have a high body fat percentage and be unhealthy and flabby.”

So, in other words, the answer to the first question is, yes one can lose weight without exercise but in the long run one may be jeopardizing one’s long term success.

The answer to the second question is the reason one is doing all the exercise and not losing the weight is because you cannot out exercise a poor diet.

“To be truly successful and happy with your body and weight it really takes a combination of the two – exercise and diet – neither just one on its own,” Blumenberg said.

Blumenberg recommends making nutrition a priority when cutting calories.

Eat quality meat, vegetables and fruit.

Don’t rely on portion control packs, meal replacements and other gimmicks.

“Avoid highly processed foods and fast food,” she said. “You can lose the weight you desire if you approach it from a reasonable, calorie conscious and exercise approach with the focus on good nutrition. Above all, you just need to keep it simple.”
