Grafton terminates marina leases By BOB CROSSEN Jersey County Journal The Grafton City Council unanimously terminated its lease agreements from 2006 with Joe DeSherlia, Jan DeSherlia and DeSherlia Enterprises LLC for use with the Grafton Marina. Alderman Jerry Bauersachs said the land in question is not part of Grafton Marina’s planned unit development approved by the city. Much of the space is used for parking, while others are to be maintained as green space. Some is used for storage of equipment. “The city would like to have back all the parking lots because we believe we should be in control of all parking lots to control overnight parking and make sure it’s handicap accessible,” Bauersachs said.

He said each of the green space lots formerly leased would be available through the city’s Adopt A Lot program. One lot, the lease for which was also terminated, houses the marina’s gas tanks, but Bauersachs said that can be discussed. “As far as I’m concerned, we take the lease away from them, but if they want to come back and negotiate with us about a lease on that particular lot, I would have no problem with that,” Bauersachs said. “But I will guarantee it’s not going to be for a dollar a year.” In the past two months, Jerry Ellers has brought up concerns about the marina to the city council during public comment, particularly about the aesthetics of the property. He said there are pipes and other (See, grafton, a2)

Crash leads to fatality on Great River Road Unit 100 to make necessary UNIT 100

By BOB CROSSEN Jersey County Journal An Alton woman died after being struck by a pick-up truck on the Great River Road in Jersey County May 23. According to a press release from Jersey County Sheriff Mark Kallal, Jersey County authorities were notified of a bicyclist being hit on the river road at 3:51 p.m. Riding on the shoulder of Illinois Route 100, Carol R. Admire, 65, was traveling on her bicycle southward toward Alton before she was struck by a pick-up truck approximately one-quarter mile north of the Madison County border inside Jersey County. Kajavion M. McCarvey,

21, driving a 1990 Chevrolet pick-up truck, according to the release, was also traveling south before leaving the roadway, resulting in Admire’s death. Jersey County Coroner Larry Alexander pronounced Admire dead at the scene Saturday at 4:45 p.m. Alexander said Admire was riding a bicycle on the Great River Road when she was struck by a pick-up truck between Piasa Harbor and Stanka Lane. Illinois State Police conducted the reconstruction, and the report was handled by the Jersey County Sheriff’s Department. The Madison County Sheriff’s Office, QEM Fire Protection District and Jersey Community Ambulance Services all assisted at the scene.

improvements across district By MARK PACE Jersey County Journal Jersey Community Unit School District 100 will improve many of its buildings over the next five years in a plan laid out before the board of education May 21. About a dozen of the improvements are scheduled to occur before the next school year. “There’s going to be a lot of essential projects over the next five years that we’re going to need to do,” Alan Churchman, district administrator for Unit 100, said. “Luckily we’re going to have that sales tax money to do those necessary updates.” The projects being completed over the next two summers all fall under operation and maintenance (O&M) and health, life, safety (HLS) projects the school is required to do by the state. The O&M and HLS projects will cost

an estimated $240,000. Projects for the following summers are possible because of the new county school facilities sales tax which will give the district an estimated $1.1-$1.2 million in additional revenue. “This will allow us not only to improve our structures but to make sure we have schools that are safe for kids,” Unit 100 Superintendent Lori Hopkins said after the vote passed last month. “The curb appeal is extremely important, especially if you’re trying to attract new community members … and we want to attract new community members.” The revenue for the sales tax will go into use in 2017 and will be used for projects expected to be completed by 2020. As part of HLS upgrades, the sports complex will get improvements, including new bleachers for the baseball field. Illini Middle School (See, unit 100, a2)

Board takes steps for proper records disposal By MARK PACE Jersey County Journal The Jersey County Board met with Illinois State Archives twice in the past month to discuss the proper disposal of public records. Nearly seven months after a recycling bin containing personally identifiable information was found in the hallway of the county government building, the board updated the community on where it stands in the proper disposal of records after being asked to do so by former board member John Houseman. “The goal from the county’s perspective is to gain compliance under the act and hereafter maintain and dispose of records pursuant to the procedures outlined therein,” State's Attorney Ben Goetten wrote in a statement to the Jersey County Journal. The documents are being securely stored until the process is complete and the board can properly dispose of the records. The records are currently boxed up and will be stored until that time which will take several months, board Vice Chairwoman Pam Heitzig said during the meeting. Illinois State Archives will make a ruling on the county’s application in July, and if it is accepted, the board will have to wait another 60 days before the documents can be disposed of. Once the records are sent to the state archives, the

documents are checked and taken before a commission to be reviewed and voted upon. Once that is completed, the county has to report a certificate which is reviewed for accuracy by the state archives office and then returned to the county. Once that is completed, there is

“The goal from the county’s perspective is to gain compliance under the act and hereafter maintain and dispose of records pursuant to the procedures outlined therein.”

Ben Goetten State's Attorney a 30-day hold placed on the documents until they can be properly disposed of, said Bob Boots, Supervisor of records management at the Illinois State Archives. “I have met with the ladies from the state office on two different occasions,” Heitzig said. “We have assorted all of the material into the appropriate categories that she gave us to assort them.” (See, board, a2)

Music, atmosphere draw many to Two Rivers Rally in Grafton By BOB CROSSEN Jersey County Journal Despite worries of rain, the Two Rivers Rally in Grafton drew a large crowd Saturday during its third annual event in the riverside community. Vendors filled the lot on the west side of town where visitors were treated to live music and Christian worship. An event put on by the Brotherhood of the Cross, Two Rivers Rally aims to provide Christian outreach to bikers as they pass through Grafton. Danny Kessinger, Brothers of the Cross Illinois Chapter president,

said bikers get a bad reputation, which the event aims to counteract through Christian worship. “Nobody cares for the bikers. Bikers scare people and they need to be saved, too,” Kessinger, sporting a black leather vest, sunglasses, leather bracelets and a long, wavy head of hair, said. “I guess it takes somebody like me to go talk to somebody like them.” Kessinger started riding motorcycles when he was 16, but it wasn’t until four or five years ago that he got interested in motorcycle evangelism. Fighting back the stereotype of bikers is part of his effort while spreading the Christian faith.

The were some hiccups leading up to the event when controversy arose before it even began when organizers applied for a special event permit with the city of Grafton. A council member actively opposed the issuance of the license during the first meeting and made negative comments towards the organizers who held a prayer service outside city hall the following Sunday. Despite the disagreement, the council approved the special event permit for the event which drew a large crowd Saturday with its numerous vendors, live bands and food. (See, rally, a2) M

Rep. Davis takes aim at FEMA reform

Bob Crossen/Jersey County Journal

Paul Noble, Two Rivers Rally organizer, speaks to the event’s attendees Sunday about the weekend-long event. The rally hosted bike blessings and prayer services in coordination with the Brotherhood of the Cross, a motorcycle evangelism organization. More photos can be found on page C1.

Rally

(Continued from A1) Caryl Parsell of Jerseyville said the event’s focus on Christianity was only part of the inspiration in her attendance. “My granddaughter is singing up there,” Parsell said, pointing to a young woman on stage. “It’s a Christian event, and we need to support the Christian faith through all this craziness. I appreciate that these bikers are Christians. They get a bad rap, you know.” Although her granddaughter lured her to the event, she enjoys the company of those at the Two Rivers Rally and stays for the Christian

atmosphere. Unlike Parsell, last weekend was Jessie Snyders’ first time at the event where he was selling pork rinds and popcorn. Selling food was a way he could show support for the weekend long rally in Grafton. “I normally do a lot of the smaller stuff. I’m just starting out,” Snyders said. “Good people around here. I’ll be back.” That kind of attitude is what Freddy Hausman, member of 316 Band with Kessinger, said the event is all about. Although there are many misconceptions about bikers, he said they too need a way to reach Christ.

The Two Rivers Rally is a way that can be accomplished in an atmosphere where they are familiar. Hausman said he aims to use his band’s music as a way to spread the worth of God. “I sing and write and Jesus is the reason that we do all that we do. It’s not about us. It’s not about this organization. It’s about lost souls that are dying and going to hell every day,” Hausman said. “Try to get the word out to them and plant that seed so that the Holy Spirit can work on them and do what he needs to do to draw them to the cross.”

Unit 100

(Continued from A1) will be able to update its fire control system, complete restroom renovations, and do small projects the district has put off until it had the necessary funding. One of the major projects for the district is an HLS project to fix water flow and resurface the road that runs north and south on the west side of Illini Middle School. The road is crumbling, Churchman said, and water floods the street adjacent to the neighborhood on that end of the building after a heavy rainfall. The road was not designed to withstand the amount of traffic that it is seeing now, and the district is going to look at another entrance for busses to use when entering the school’s property. Heavy bus traffic is suspected to be the reason the road crumbled, and Churchman hopes that limiting the number of busses using the road will help in the future. The district will also enclose the bleachers at Don Snyders Sports Complex to make it easier for parents to supervise their children at the facility and to also add additional storage. West Elementary will have three main improvements this summer. There will be a new set of security doors at the entrance to the school to make the building safer. The fence will also be replaced and a new driveway will be installed. The north parking lot at East Elementary is under construction and will see additional improvements. The district is providing the materials and the state is provid-

ing the labor for that project. Other HLS projects for the upcoming year are improvements to the water fountains and restrooms at Illini Middle School, as well as security cameras. HLS and O&M projects for the following year consist of restroom renovations and replacement windows at West Elementary, new security cameras at Grafton Elementary, and new gym lights at the high school. Churchman sought a grant for new lights in the gym earlier this year. They are expected to be more energy efficient and could pay for themselves in a matter of years. All the small things will add up to provide top notch facilities for students and teachers. “I think our facilities are getting better and better, and we’re improving them,” Churchman said. “Hopefully we’re going to have safe housing and an educational environment for our kids for years to come.” In other business, the board: n Approved to hire summer school teachers being Bryan Brown, drivers education; Scott Burney, health teacher; Bob Siemer, English teacher; Brett Beauchamp, government teacher; Lisa Kolkmeyer, mathematics teacher; and Dennis Roder, innovative automotive teacher. n Accepted the resignations of David Golike, special education teacher and head boys’ tennis coach; Kim Speidell, special education teacher; and Gary Kallal, bus driver.

(Continued from A1) items that have become an eyesore to he and his wife, Sue Ellers, who live nearby. Additionally, he said there is a shed constructed by the marina on city property, where it does not belong. Alderwoman Sara Carey said that structure should be torn down because it is not legally allowed to stand on that property. Ellers said the marina produced a building permit for the shed, but noted there is no record the city council or zoning board approved such a permit, which Mayor Tom Thompson said is not on file with the city. Ellers questioned the permit’s legitimacy. “It wasn’t witnessed or notarized or anything,” Ellers said. “Where it says size of building it says ‘eight.’ I didn’t know buildings came in

sizes like shoes, but that’s what it says. It’s an eight.” Bauersachs presented Thompson with potential committee assignments Bauersachs put together with correspondence from other council members. Referring to the document, Bauersachs said some of the committees could be joined to cut down on redundancy of duty. The finance and tax increment financing committee, for instance, should work together so as to provide a more seamless preparation of the budget. Similarly, the maintenance, buildings and public works committees could be combined as one. Thompson said he would take the suggestions under advisement and the council could approve his appointments during the next regu-

lar meeting. In addition to that reorganization of the council, Bauersachs said the council should also vote a mayor pro tem to serve as mayor if Thompson were absent for a regular meeting. In other business, the council: n Approved to authorize Building Inspector Bruce Wickenhauser to issue a citation to Jeff Lorton for incomplete demolition at 203 East Main St. n Approved to negotiate with Tom Wobbe for a comprehensive and zoning plan update, the initial price of which is $24,000. n Approved an ordinance prohibiting parking on the east side of Mulberry Street, and approved to pave and stripe a section of the road for $5,500.

at least semi-annually a public body shall meet and review closed meeting minutes,” Houseman said. “As it appears presently, the Jersey County Board is not in compliance with this statute." Closed session minutes were not released for Aug. 13, 2013; Oct. 21, 2013; Oct. 23, 2013; Nov. 4, 2013; Nov. 25, 2013; Nov. 26 2013; Dec. 10, 2013; Jan. 14 2014; Feb. 5, 2014; Feb. 11, 2014; Feb. 26, 2014 or Sept. 9, 2014. “The closed session minutes are being reviewed by me as well as going through the rather tedious pro-

cess of listening to approximately 24 separate CD disks,” said Don Little, chairman of the board. “We will probably have something for the board to deal with in the June meeting.” The meeting in which the issues were discussed was a special meeting called for a resolution to provide for public transportation in Jersey County through the Downstate Operator Assistance program which was approved in a 9-to-1 vote by the board. The next regularly scheduled county board meeting is June 9 at 7 p.m.

Board

(Continued from A1) Goetten said the purpose of the meetings were “to review and implement the procedural requirements for disposing of governmental records pursuant to the Local Records Act.” Houseman also raised concern about closed session meeting minutes which have not been released. The board is required to publicize all closed session minutes at least once every six months, but failed to do so. “I would like to ask for clarification [for] the opening of closed session minutes of this board pursuant to the state law … which states that

Jerseyville, Illinois

By MARK PACE Jersey County Journal A new House Reform Act promises to give greater weight and consideration to the localized impact of a disaster when determining the need for federal assistance. The reform act could help future recovery efforts for local flooding. Members of the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee unanimously passed the FEMA Disaster Assistance Reform Act of 2015 (H.R. 1471) last month which will require FEMA to place more of an emphasis on the localized impact of a major storm to ensure that smaller communities get fair treatment. The committee, headed by local U.S. Representatives Rodney Davis, R-Taylorville, and Cheri Bustos, D-Springfield, is aimed at helping smaller towns get the help they need after a natural disaster. “It only makes sense to give greater consideration to the localized impact of a storm because we know all too well in Illinois that a few million dollars in damages to a small community in downstate Illinois has a much larger impact than it does in other, more populated areas of our state,” Davis said in a press release. Before H.R. 1471, small communities weren’t able to get the necessary funding to help when disaster struck. Both Jersey and Calhoun counties struggled with FEMA assistance, Gene Stumpf, Calhoun County ESDA coordinator, said. “If [H.R. 1471] didn’t exist, we just flat wouldn’t get any help,” Calhoun County ESDA Coordinator Gene Stumpf said. Stumpf was a sherif’s deputy when the 1993 flood struck and knows all too well what happens to a small community when disaster strikes. And in 2013, the area witnessed the highest flood it had seen since 2008. Although there was not as much devastation as the Great Flood of ’93, help from FEMA

was necessary in aiding the riverside communities. Jersey County ESDA coordinator Larry Mead said legislation passed by Davis’ committee could help the communities along the river without the need for federal declarations. “The formula they use to determine if they’re going to be assisting, it’s going to be easier for smaller counties to obtain assistance is what I understand it will do for us. It’s normally done through a presidential declaration,” Mead said. While the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration does not predict major flooding in the area in the foreseeable future, the reform act is aimed to aid small communities when flooding or other disasters do occur. The resolution comes less than a week after tornados tore through Fairdale and Rochelle, destroying homes and businesses in the community. “I applaud the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee for unanimously passing legislation that includes a provision to provide more certainty and fairness to states and small communities impacted by disasters,” U.S. Rep. Adam Kinzinger, R-Channahon, said in the press release. The reform act establishes rates “for reimbursing states and local governments for direct and indirect administrative costs incurred to implement disaster recovery projects.” H.R. 1471 is part of a larger effort to reauthorize and reform FEMA. “Their effort brings us a step closer to a fairer formula for determining how much federal disaster assistance is allotted to rural communities,” John Shimkus, R-Collinsville, said. The legislation, according to information on Davis’ website, would be retroactive to “include all storms occurring since 2012 in which states requested federal assistance but were denied.” The bill still awaits votes from the House and Senate for passage.

New Elsah General Store embodies community By MARK PACE Jersey County Journal With its old-time feel and classical look, Elsah General Store embodies the local community while serving customers everyday goods and an array of other needs, wants and treats. Elsah General Store completed nearly two months of business and is becoming a staple of the town. “We tried to think of how we could be of service to our immediate local community, and so we have all the staples … hoping that people will find what they need in the store,” store co-owner Blair Smith said of why he and his wife,

“Our primary goal is to serve the community and people around us. And if we can make a little bit of a living to do that then we’re happy.”

Blair Smith Owner, Elsah General Store Dory, opened the store. “At the same time, we wanted to make this a fun place to visit, and a fun destination for folks outside the community.” The store, with its wooden, mint-green door, matching siding and wooden yellow sign, captures the old-fashioned, fairy tale like feel of the Elsah community and surrounding area. The inside of the store is covered in wood, with white wooden cabinets where all of its items are on display, and dark stained wooden counter tops on either side of the store. The shelves and counters are full of goodies, with an assortment of old-timed candy that Smith claims is a favorite of the older customers. The store sells sauces and dressings as well as groceries, candy and toys. Twenty-five brands of vintage soda cans line the walls. Wednesdays feature butter cakes, pies, cookies, ice cream, chocolates, fresh breads and other local goods that Smith and his wife buy on their weekly trips to St. Louis. The store is geared toward customers with a sweet tooth as well as locals looking for common household goods. The store’s most popular items are the sodas, which line the wall behind the counter, but it also sells milk, bread, eggs and meat. Smith is excited for the store’s wide selection and credits other local businesses with helping achieve the variety. He wasn’t sure the store was going to be able to sell meat, but he was able to partner with Live Springs Farm in Carrollton to buy meat and eggs. “Our primary goal is to serve

the community and people around us,” Smith said. “And if we can make a little bit of a living to do that then we’re happy.” Smith has a business background. He received a degree in the subject and worked in the field for 18 years before taking a job in the student life department at Principia College where he retired from before opening the store. However, he wasn’t ready to quit working. He has a love for the game of baseball, which is apparent when customers enter the store and see old scorecards and Louisville Sluggers in the window sill.

The store, which is a part of the Smith’s home, has served the town before. It was once a store called JK Keller and Son in the early 1900s. People kept asking when Smith was going to re-open a store in the front area of the home, and Smith obliged once he retired from Principia College. Along with food and candy, the store sells coffee from local coffee houses in the greater St. Louis area. It also sells greeting cards and unique gifts. It is open Wednesday through Saturday from 10 a.m. until 7 p.m. and Sundays from 12 p.m. to 5 p.m.

IDPH reminds public to take precautions against West Nile Virus As we start to see warmer weather, we will start to see mosquitoes, and that means West Nile virus. The Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH) began accepting birds for West Nile virus testing on May 1. Local health departments will also collect birds and mosquito samples for West Nile virus testing in order to track the virus across Illinois. “Since we started seeing human West Nile virus cases in Illinois back in 2002, 2,137 people have been infected, including 133 West Nile virus-related deaths,” said IDPH Director Nirav D. Shah, M.D., JD. “While we have seen West Nile virus in Illinois over the past 13 years, it’s important that we don’t become complacent and that we continue to protect ourselves from mosquito bites.” Predicting West Nile virus activity is like predicting the weather, it can change week to week. The key factors in determining high or low levels of West Nile virus activity are temperature and rainfall. Although people usually notice mosquitoes during rainy conditions, those mosquitoes are commonly called floodwater or nuisance mosquitoes and typically do not carry West Nile virus. In hot, dry weather, mosquitoes that do carry West Nile virus breed in stagnant water, like street catch basins and ditches, and multiply rapidly. As temperatures warm up, remember to take some simple precautions to reduce the number of mosquitoes around your home and protect yourself from being bitten. Precautions include practicing the three “R’s” – reduce,

repel and report. • REDUCE exposure - minimize being outdoors when mosquitoes are most active, especially between dusk and dawn. If you go outside during these times, take precautions. Even if mosquito numbers seem low, it only takes one bite from an infected mosquito to transmit the virus. Make sure doors and windows have tight-fitting screens. Repair or replace screens that have tears or other openings. Try to keep doors and windows shut, especially at night. Eliminate, or refresh every couple days, all sources of standing water where mosquitoes can breed, including water in bird baths, ponds, flowerpots, wading pools, old tires, and any other receptacles. • REPEL - when outdoors, wear shoes and socks, long pants and a long-sleeved shirt, and apply insect repellent that contains DEET, picaridin, oil of lemon eucalyptus or IR 3535, according to label instructions. Consult a physician before using repellents on infants. • REPORT – report dead birds to your local health department. In communities where there are organized mosquito control programs, contact your municipal government about areas of stagnant water in roadside ditches, flooded yards, and similar locations that may produce mosquitoes. Additional information about West Nile virus can be found by logging onto www.dph.illinois. gov/topics-services/diseases-andconditions/diseases-a-z-list/westnile-virus.

Guest performer at Elsah’s Farley’s Music Hall June 7 Historian, songwriter, and storyteller Barry Cloyd will be the guest performer at a Collaborative Lecture sponsored by Historic Elsah Foundation and the Chautauqua Historical Society at Farley’s Music Hall, Sunday, June 7, at 2 p.m. Cloyd’s topic will be The Drummer Boy of Shiloh, telling the story of the American Civil War from the perspective of a young teen, the story told in song and narration. The Drummer Boy of Shiloh tells the story of the Civil War through the eyes of Joseph Henry Monroe. While there were many drummer boys who served in the war, Monroe was the youngest drummer boy to enlist in the war effort, when he was merely 12 years old. He led the troops at Shiloh, was captured by the Rebels, was imprisoned, and escaped from that prison and made his way back to his unit to continue to fight in many significant battles. The story of the war is presented through the music, mostly written by the soldiers themselves. Barry tells us, “Mr. Monroe was a musician throughout his life...more of that story later...I don’t want to give it all away. But the songs and stories of this

terribly tragic war are presented as signposts of the actual history that was being created at that time. In it I portray Mr. Monroe as an adult...looking back on his time in the war (he was merely 16 when it ended). The music is delivered with vocals, guitar, 5-string banjo and Dobro slide guitar. Some of the songs are my original pieces...in particular the story/song of Joseph Henry Monroe and the battle of Shiloh, which is the opening piece of the show. It’s titled “Shiloh Train”. Cloyd has co-written, produced and toured more than 20 original folk musicals, written more than 350 songs, and has appeared in over 300 TV commercials and 70 industrial films, some of which have been shown internationally. He is also a regular guest on radio and television programs wherever he travels. Cloyd is featured in a Prairie Folklore Theatre documentary film project entitled “Voices for the River” (funded by the Illinois EPA). The lecture is free and open to the public. Refreshments will be served following the lecture. Reservations are not required. Parking is available.

Rural Transportation program hits snag By BoB crossen Jersey County Journal Illinois Valley Economic Development Corporation is resubmitting information to the Illinois Department of Transportation for a tri-county rural transportation program. The issue had been brought before the county boards of Jersey, Greene and Calhoun counties in 2013, but it was not until last December that such a transportation program was approved by those counties. Although Greene County initially showed hesitance in joining the program years ago, it, too, chose to become a part of the program, which uses motor fuel tax money to fund rural transportation efforts. The money must funnel through a local form of government, usually a county board, before it is passed along to the agency that administers the program. Early estimates indicated the program could receive approximately $60,000 from federal

sources and $140,000 from the state for rural transportation in the area. People using the service would call ahead to IVEDC to schedule a time for pick-up and a destination. The vehicle would pick the person up, generally from their home, and take them where they need to go for a nominal fee. Such a program is already administered to seniors in Jersey County, and the rural transportation program would extend those services to the rest of the public. Seniors, however, would not be required to pay for the rides. The service is primarily used for doctor’s visits and regular errands, but some of the larger programs have trips to major cities planned on a regular basis. When it was approved by the county boards, IVEDC expected the application process with IDOT may take six months to complete. The organization must resubmit its information for the coming fiscal year.

Mayor Russell promises openness to citizens By Mark Pace Jersey County Journal Mayor Billy Russell promised openness and transparency from the city Tuesday night at the regular city council meeting. “I think when the city government is spending the taxpayers’ money that they have a right to know what we’re doing and what we’re doing with that money,” Russell said following the meeting. “It’s my responsibility as mayor to see that happen.” The decree came after Russell announced during the meeting that he OK’d the use of $10,000 in an emergency situation for new pumps for the Donor Pool, which opened last Saturday. The main pump and the pump for the kiddy pool both needed to be replaced, and with the pool opening Memorial Day weekend, Russell said it was necessary to act on the need right away. When the weather starts to get hot, the kids need a place to go, he said. The pool is the only community pool in the county, and the new pumps are needed proper operation throughout the summer. West Port, the original builders of the pool 18 years ago, supplied the

pumps. “There’s emergencies, like the pool, and decisions like that which have to be made on a daily basis,” Russell said. “That’s why I wanted the public to know about them.” Russell said he will be open throughout his term as mayor. He invited citizens to come to city council meetings and said he is available to answer questions or concerns following each meeting. He is also available for those who wish to call his office. If he is not available, he gave those at the office permission to give out his cell phone number so he can be reached. In other business, the board unanimously approved the final plats for both the J.E. Holdings Subdivision and CVS. The J.E. Holdings Subdivision is the Jerseyville Estates property on Fairgrounds Ave. The new building consists of cottages for dementia patients and additions to the current facilities. Vee-Jay Cement Construction finished the foundation for the CVS on the corner of State Street and Highway 16 last week. The project is scheduled to be finished in late August.

By BoB crossen Jersey County Journal A Jerseyville Banking Center lot on the corner of West Exchange Street and North Washington Street is receiving a slight facelift. Jerseyville Banking Center moved from its old location on West Exchange Street to State Street after more than 20 years at the prior address. The ATM at the former branch is still used by the bank’s patrons, however. The West Exchange Street location has since been repurposed for the University of Illinois Extension office and Regional Office of Education. The bank leased the space at the former location to maintain the ATM while it sought other options, Phyllis Caselton, JBC branch manager, said. “We were just leasing that spot there until we knew exactly how and what we were going to do with that,” Caselton said, “And we still

own those two lots by Taco Bell, so we decided to make a nice new ATM area there. It should be more convenient for the customers and look nice for the community.” The lot, located at 201 North Washington south of Medford Food Mart, will house the new ATM. The machine will be placed on the Washington Street side of the road, she said, so as to prevent any traffic complications as vehicles need easy access in and out of the ATM drive-up. The vacant lot will look better with the new ATM, she said, but the installation takes more than many may think. The site needs electricity and engineering work has to be completed before it can operate. It is not clear when the ATM will be fully functional, but Caselton said JBC is excited to give the lot a purpose. JBC can be reached by calling 618-498-2107 or by visiting carrolltonbanking.com.

Officials show good faith on transparency

Publisher and Editor: Julie Boren

The Issue: Agency transparency at forefront Our View: Officials' openness a good sign

publisher@campbellpublications.net

Regional Editor: Bob Crossen

ased on public comment earlier this year, some may have scoffed when Jerseyville Mayor Billy Russell said he would be available after meetings for the public.

But since he made that claim, Russell has done just that, and continues to reinforce the mantra he will be visible and open to the public after city council meetings. Meanwhile at the Jersey County Board, members have admitted to a mistake last November when employee records containing personally identifiable information were found in an easily accessible recycling bin. Although some controversy arose at the time as to security concerns due to the sensitive information, the situation was controlled. Since then, county officials met with Illinois State Archives to follow state law in the disposal of those records, and to reinforce proper procedures when handling sensitive documents. The one blight in transparency has come in the release of closed session meeting minutes, which has notoriously been a forgotten task for the county board. Those records have traditionally been kept closed due to their sensitive nature – internal employee disputes, negotiations, discussion with legal counsel, et cetera – but the review is needed. Knowing the importance of their release, Chairman Don Little said he would be weeding through the closed session tapes to help determine their release. And though some of those documents may not be released, we believe we should have faith in our elected officials who have shown through their recent actions transparency is important to them.

Separating yourself from addiction A

ddiction to alcohol and illegal drugs is increasing and can be deadly. According to the Illinois Department of Human services, “Over 5,500 deaths among Illinois residents each year, over 5 percent of all deaths, are directly or indirectly related to the use of alcohol and other drugs.” Justin Wolfe, a clinical therapist at Linden Oaks Hospital in Naperville, told me, “We are just seeing the tip of the iceberg. The deception is that substances, such as alcohol, marijuana and other drugs don’t reject us, they accept us, offering instant gratification – but they really don’t offer anything but isolation – you may exist but you certainly are not living.” Throughout Illinois, there are groups dedicated to helping individuals find ways to avert this tragedy. Tami McDaniel has been counseling in the Springfield area since 1989. “I have met with people addicted to alcohol, pain pills, and illegal substances, they come to me for support and assistance.” This support can lead to a change in how her patients view themselves

JOURNAL SEEKING GUEST COLUMNISTS If anyone is interested in submitting a guest column, please contact the Journal. There are many topics out there and we have found that our readers have a lot of thoughtful things to say, on a broad range of topics. Columns, like letters, should add to the public discourse in a helpful way. Guest columns are submitted by a rotating roster of columnists or are simply sent in unsolicited and, if appropriate, are published. These columns do not reflect the views of the newspaper, only the writer. Length is no more than 800 words. Deadlines are Tuesday at 10 a.m. Topics are the choice of the columnist although we encourage our contributors to avoid obviously inflammatory issues (religion, abortion, etc.). Though we are a local paper, contributors are free to write about national or international issues (the pledge, the war, Social Security, health care, etc.). The Journal reserves the right to hold, edit or withdraw a column. These guest columns are an opportunity for our contributors to share an idea, an opinion or information; it is not an opportunity to sell a product or a service. We are looking for informed opinion and lively debate. Our only requirements are that your column have relevance to our community and our readership and be responsibly written (no personal attacks or self promotion, for example).

and others. “The addict needs to develop new friends, new skills, new attitudes,” Wolfe stated. “It begins with HOW, which stands for honesty, open-mindedness and willingness,” Wolfe commented. And that mental change is vital to recovery. More and more individuals feel that this change of thought comes from looking for a deeper view of oneself, one that is God-like and separate from drugs and abuse. A spiritual identity, if you will. St. Paul told early Christians, “…put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts,… and put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness” (Ephesians 5: 22, 24). Helping individuals put off the old patterns of addiction and find a spiritual identity helps them overcome shame. “They internalize that they are bad,” Wolfe told me, “so it is important to realize that the abuse is the bad. It is the behavior it is not you.” Separating bad behavior from

one’s own Guest identity is an Column important shift in thought that BY TIM can bring sucMITCHINSON cess in overcoming the drug habit. This need for developing a new identity and people to encourage it often turns individuals to a wide variety of intervention and support groups, including faith-based groups. Connecting with a spiritual identity helps them separate who they are from the addicted behavior. There are ways out of alcohol and drug addiction. It begins with HOW – honesty, open-mindedness and willingness. It also includes a recognition of the innate goodness in each of us. n Thomas (Tim) Mitchinson is a self-syndicated columnist writing on the relationship between thought, spirituality and health, and trends in that field. He is also the media spokesman for Christian Science in Illinois. You can contact him at illinois@compub.org.

Results of exit polls reveal curious findings A

week or so ago, a neighbor shared a flyer that he had found tucked in his front door. The author of the flyer is a supporter of the recently defeated PTELL law. One line in the flyer suggested that the student rally held in support of the school sales tax and in opposition to PTELL was the result of the “type of indoctrination [that] happened in Germany in the 1930’s.” I’ve wondered where the depth of passion on these issues originated. As one PTELL organizer pointed out to me, it probably started with the decision to replace the old high school a decade ago. The March 2015 election, especially the battle over PTELL and the school sales tax, engendered great passion and strong rhetoric. It also produced a strong voter turnout, over 31 percent, for the municipal and local election. Most counties would be happy with 18 percent turnout. Since 1990, Principia College American government students have conducted exit surveys during the biennial general elections. I’m grateful for the support and encouragement of our past county clerks Linda Crotchett, a Republican, and Steve Pohlman, a Democrat, for this wonderful educational opportunity. The 2014 general election survey was well received by Jersey County voters. The students surveyed 777 voters at five polling places: Elsah 1 and 2 (village, township building), Jersey 4/5 (Feyerabend Building), Jersey 8/9 (Methodist Church), and Jersey 10 (Barr Housing). The students were excited about the response rate—777 surveys from a total of 1,838 voters, or 42.3 percent. Thank you, to all who took the time to complete our survey. Among the questions we asked on the 2014 study were: “Do you believe the issue of the new high school still divides the communi-

ty?” and “To what degree did the building of the new high school affect your trust in government?” The “new” high school is no longer new. The decision to replace the old high school was made a decade ago. First question—does the issue of the high school still divide the community?—had three choices. The answer was clear with nearly half the voters, 49.7 percent, believing that the issue still divides the community. Thirty-five percent of the voters said they were not sure, and 15.4 percent said no. We found that this feeling was spread across the precincts. This may explain the passion behind the campaigns for and against PTELL and the school sales tax. Second question—affect on one’s trust in government—had a five point scale from “greatly affected” (5) to “no affect at all” (1). Just over 46 percent of the voters said the building of the high school had no affect on their trust in government. Almost 54 percent of the voters suggested that the process did have some affect on their trust in government (15.9 percent said “sort of affected,” 17.8 percent said “affected,” and 20.1 percent said “greatly affected”). Knowing that concern over the growth of government, particularly in the form of taxation, is a central concern of the Tea Party, we asked voters about their support for the Tea Party movement. Jersey County voters have mixed views: 33.6 percent expressed some level of opposition to the Tea Party; 41.8 percent said they were neutral; and, 24.6 percent expressed some level of support for the Tea Party. It’s taken us a long time—using student volunteers—to type all the data into our computer. When we compared the answers, the pattern was obvious. There was a clear, The Jersey County Journal welcomes letters to the editor on topics of community interest.

strong correlation between support for Tea Party and opinion about the high school—the stronger the support for the Tea Party, the greater effect the building of the high school had on trust in government. And, the stronger the belief that the issue still divides the community. PTELL was defeated 63.81 percent (3,513 votes) to 36.19 percent (1,992). The sales tax increase, to support the school district, was approved 56.15 percent (3,148) to 43.85 percent (2,458). Given the outcome of the advisory vote last November in support of placing PTELL on the March ballot, the responses to our November survey, and strong campaign mounted by PTELL supporters, I was somewhat surprised at the margin of the defeat. I wonder what happened. Maybe I’ll write about that next time. Nevertheless, it’s clear that, for some, passions still run high on these issues. n John W. Williams, Professor Political Science Principia College

USDA reminds farmers to certify Four-wheeler accident claims a life conservation compliance by June 1 deadline The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) reminds farmers to file a Highly Erodible Land Conservation and Wetland Conservation Certification form (AD1026) with their local USDA Service Center by June 1. The 2014 Farm Bill requires producers to have the form on file in order to remain eligible, or to become eligible for crop insurance premium support. Many farmers already have a certification form on file since it's required for participation in most USDA programs including marketing assistance loans, farm storage facility loans and disaster assistance. However, farmers who only participate in the federal crop insurance program must now file a certification form to receive crop insurance premium support. These producers might include specialty crop farmers who may not participate in other USDA programs. "USDA is making every effort possible to get the word out about this new Farm Bill provision," said Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack. "We've deployed a variety of informational documents and online resources including fact sheets, frequently asked questions and brochures to help farm-

ers understand what they need to do. We've also conducted informational meetings and training sessions for nearly 6,000 stakeholders across the country. We want to make sure that those who are required to act do so by the June 1 deadline. We want all eligible producers to be able to maintain their ability to protect their operations with affordable crop insurance." USDA has conducted extensive outreach over the past year, especially to producers who only participate in the federal crop insurance program and may be subject to conservation compliance for the first time. Along with the outreach done by crop insurance agents and companies, USDA efforts have included letters, postcards, phone calls, producer meetings and interaction with stakeholder groups to help them reach their members. While there are procedures in place to correct good faith errors and omissions on certification forms, the deadline cannot be waived or extended and a form must be filed by June 1. The Highly Erodible Land Conservation and Wetland Conservation Certification form AD-1026 is available at local USDA Service Centers or online at www.fsa.usda.

gov/AD1026form.When a farmer completes this form, USDA's Farm Service Agency and Natural Resources Conservation Service staff will identify any additional actions that may be required for compliance with highly erodible land and wetland provisions. USDA's Risk Management Agency, through the Federal Crop Insurance Corporation, manages the federal crop insurance program. Today's announcement was made possible by the 2014 Farm Bill, which builds on historic economic gains in rural America over the past six years, while achieving meaningful reform and billions of dollars in savings for the taxpayer. Since enactment, USDA has implemented many provisions of this critical legislation, providing disaster relief to farmers and ranchers; strengthening risk management tools; expanding access to rural credit; funding critical research; establishing innovative public-private conservation partnerships; developing new markets for rural-made products; and investing in infrastructure, housing and community facilities to help improve quality of life in rural America.

IDPH urges public to guard against rabies, diseases carried by ticks As the weather warms up and people spend more time outdoors, Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH) Director Nirav D. Shah, M.D., J.D., reminds residents about the importance of taking precautions against tick and animal bites, which can cause illness. “Ticks can carry diseases like Rocky Mountain spotted fever, Lyme disease, tularemia, babesiosis and ehrlichiosis,” said Director Shah. “Bats and other wild animals can transmit rabies, a virus that affects the nervous system. A bite from ticks, bats, or wild animals can cause severe illness and even death in some cases, so it is important to protect yourself against bites.” Simple tips to avoid ticks bites include: • Wear light-colored, protective

clothing—long-sleeved shirts, long trousers, boots or sturdy shoes and a head covering. • Apply insect repellant containing 10 percent to 30 percent DEET primarily to clothes. • Walk in the center of trails so weeds do not brush against you. • Check yourself, children, other family members and pets for ticks every two to three hours. • Remove any tick promptly by grasping it with tweezers, as close to the skin as possible and gently, but firmly, pull it straight out. Wash your hands and the tick bite site with soap and water. If you become ill with fever and/or rash after being in an area where ticks may be, contact your health care provider. While bats are the primary carrier of rabies in Illinois, any wild mammal such as a raccoon,

skunk, fox, or coyote can have rabies. Rabies can be contracted through a bite from an infected animal, or when saliva from a rabid animal gets directly into a person’s eyes, nose, mouth or a wound. Seek medical attention if an animal bites you so the doctor can determine if rabies treatment is needed. Actions to avoid rabies include: • Teach children never to handle unfamiliar animals. • Keep all vaccinations for dogs, cats and ferrets up-to-date. • If you find a bat in your home, do not release it until you have called your local health department.

Jersey State Bank offers tips to new college graduates Financial responsibility should be the top priority of college students across the nation as they start their careers. Jersey State Bank has identified six traps that could hinder new college graduates from securing their financial future. “The financial lifestyle and habits college graduates establish now will chart their financial future and they can make their future even brighter with an early focus on sound financial planning” said James Hoefert, President/CEO. According to Jersey State Bank, new college graduates should avoid the following financial traps: Not having a budget. Simply

put, don’t spend more than you make. Calculate the amount of money you’re taking home after taxes and then figure out how much money you can afford to spend each month while contributing to your savings. Be sure to factor in recurring expenses such as student loans, monthly rent, utilities, groceries, transportation expenses and car loans. Forgoing an emergency fund. Make it a priority to set aside the equivalent of three to six months’ worth of living expenses. Start putting some money away immediately, no matter how small the amount. A bank savings account is

a smart place to stash your cash for a rainy day. Paying bills late – or not at all. Each missed payment can hurt your credit history for up to seven years, and can affect your ability to get loans, the interest rates you pay on loans and your ability to get a job or rent an apartment. Consider setting up automatic payments for regular expenses like student loans, car payments and phone bills. Racking up debt. Understand the responsibilities and benefits of credit. Shop around for a card that best suits your needs, and spend only what you can afford to pay back. It’s a great tool if you use it

responsibly. Not thinking about the future. It may seem odd since you’re just beginning your career, but now is the best time to start planning for your retirement. Contribute to your employer’s 401K or similar account, especially if there is a company match. Invest enough to qualify for your company’s full match – it’s free money. Ignoring help from your bank. Most banks offer online and mobile banking tools to manage your account night and day. Use these tools to check balances, pay bills, monitor transactions history and track budgets.

College savings plans part of national effort The 529 college savings plans take center stage on May 29. The 529 College Savings Day is a national effort to discuss college expectations and goals with children. “Too many families believe the dream of attending college is slipping away,” Treasurer Michael Frerichs said. “It is important for families to know that the first

steps to that dream can be taken for as little as $25.” The Bright Start or Bright Directions college savings account are administered by the Treasurer’s Office and can be opened at www.illinoistreasurer.gov. Purchasers can choose investment options or use an advisor for guidance.

Age-based options where the underlying investments become more conservative as the beneficiary gets closer to collegeage also are available. Savings can be used at any qualified institution nationwide, including technical schools. These tax-advantaged college savings accounts are called 529 plans because they are named

after Section 529 of the Internal Revenue Code. In Illinois, seven of 10 seniors graduated with college debt. The average balance was $28,500. A Washington University study concluded that a child is seven times more likely to attend college if they know a college savings plan exists.

SACKMAN RECOGNIZED BY POST 492 American Legion Post 492 held its monthly meeting May 14. Post members and the Honor Guard shared with post Commander James “Chopper” Allen, right, in presenting Wilbert Sackman, left, with the American Legion 60 Year Continuous Member certificate. Sackman has also been an active member of the Honor Guard for more than 10 years. The Post thanks him for his dedication and loyalty to Post 492 over the past 60 years.

We think of you in silence We often speak your name But all we have are memories And your picture in a frame Your resting place we visit And put flowers there with care But no on knows the heartache As we turn and leave you there A million times I’ve needed you A milion times I’ve cried. If love alone could have saved you you never would have died. In life I loved you dearly... In death I love you still. In my heart you hold a place that no one else can fill. It broke my heart to lose you, but you didn’t go alone. For part of me went with you, the day God took you home.

Love, Linda

In observance of National Nursing Home Week, May 10 to 16, Jerseyville Nursing and Rehab held several events meant to encourage residents, families, and staff to reach out to and visit with their loved ones and caregivers. Bridgemark Healthcare employees Johnny Coles and Frank Caruso spent the morning telling residents a little about their motorcycles and the trips that they have taken on them. They are visiting with resident Jim Creal, who presented both men with a flag pin to add to the collections on their riding jackets. Everyone got into the spirit of the American Health Care Association’s chosen theme, “Bring on the Fiesta.”

It was a marked improvement from a year ago when she jumped 15-7 in the qualifying round of the same

Jersey softball eliminated by Highland by kory carpenter Jersey County Journal One day after completing a remarkable two-run, seventh-inning comeback to beat Civic Memorial, the Jersey softball team could not handle a potent Highland offense, falling to the Bulldogs 14-1 Tuesday in the regional semifinals. Highland got on the board early with four runs in the bottom of the first, and Kirsten Plocher gave up four hits in five innings. The Panthers finished the season 17-14 and fourth in the Mississippi Valley Conference. Bethany Muenstermann led the team with a .492 batting average, 29 RBIs, 16 doubles and 52 base-hits (minimum 10 at-bats). She also started 26 games on the mound, posting a 4.00 earned-run average.

Southwestern breaks school record by kory carpenter Jersey County Journal Former St. Louis Cardinals pitcher and 18-year Major League veteran Jason Isringhausen accomplished many things in his baseball career. But the 2015 Southwestern baseball team did something Isringhausen – a Southwestern alum and native of Brighton – never could.

The Piasa Birds won their 26th game of the season Saturday in the championship game of the Gillespie Regional, the most in school history. Southwestern scored three runs in the first inning against Carlinville and did not stop, scoring 10 runs in the second en route to a 15-1 victory. Andrew Fry went 3-for-4 with three RBIs and five other Birds col-

lected two hits. Spencer Heineman pitched a complete game, giving up one hit in five innings while striking out eight. Southwestern was scheduled to face Teutopolis Wednesday in the Vandalia Sectional Semifinal, with the winner advancing to Saturday’s sectional championship against Althoff Catholic or Breese Central.

Club volleyball camps set for JCHS staFF report Jersey County Journal QUICK Volleyball Club, an Illinois-based youth volleyball club started by Dennis Nosco, will hold summer clinics at JCHS beginning June 4. After starting a 16-U team this past season, Nosco’s goal is to expand enough to field teams for girls in fifth through 11th-grade. “As club volleyball is new to many in this area I wanted to do something unique to summer volleyball camps and clinics,” Nosco

said this week via email. “I wanted to combine having volleyball clinics for the kids with informational sessions for parents who might not know anything about club volleyball.” The first camp will be June 14th for girls entering fifth and sixthgrade, and will be held between 5 p.m. and 7 p.m. at JCHS. Girls entering seventh, eighth and ninth-grade will follow at 7 p.m. The second session will take place the following Saturday, June 20, beginning at 10 a.m. with the

same format. “The only criteria for getting into this camp is that the parents have to be interested in learning about club volleyball and the kids have to have some potential to be club players,” Nosco said. “A good rule of thumb would be if a girl was among the better kids on their grade school or middle school team or kids who their coaches think have a lot of potential in the sport.” The cost for each clinic is $30. For more information, contact Dennis Nosco at 314-921-0919, or dnosco@hotmail.com
