Mayors along Mississippi Multi-Agency Resource Center to be held in Jersey discuss flood impact Community High School

By RACHEL MCGLASSON Jersey County Journal Mayors all along the Mississippi River conversed Tuesday, June 25, to answer media questions and discuss the effects of the flooding across the entirety of the Mississippi River.

The conference was held by the Mississippi River Cities and Towns Initiative (MRCTI) as a way to help showcase the big picture of the flooding for the entire region.

“This was a total river region flood,” Jared Gertman, chief of readiness and contingency operations with the US Army Corps of Engineers, said. “The Ohio, Mississippi, Missouri and Arkansas rivers all reached flood stages this year. It’s the wettest June to May in the last 123 years for the eastern US and the Mississippi Valley. It’s a top four flood record for several Mississippi River cities…

But, we can see the light at the end of the tunnel. By mid to late July we should be under flood stage in all of

our districts except for New Orleans.”

According to Colin Wellenkamp, executive director of MRCTI, damage across the extent of this flood was extensive and costly.

“…It was just unbelievably sickening as to how much we’ve been affected.”

Rick Eberlin Grafton Mayor “We are definitely north of $2 billion in impacts along the Mississippi River so far,” he said. “We were close to that number in March so now taking into account the further losses in the valley from farming and manufacturing and navigation and the cruise industry, we’re definitely (See, FLOOD IMPACT, A3)

By RACHEL MCGLASSON Jersey County Journal A “one stop shop” to help those affected by the flood will come together in Jersey Community High School’s cafeteria this Sunday, June 30.

Seven different state agencies will be coming together in this one location in an attempt to make it easier for those affected by the flooding to find the resources they need.

“Anyone affected by this devastating flood is encouraged to visit a Multi-State Agency Resource Center,” Acting director Alicia Tate-Nadeau said. “A MARC is a one-stop shop to help people affected by the flood to connect with services and information available through a variety of state and local organizations.”

Present at the MARC will be seven state agencies. The Department of Insurance will be present to assist individuals with general questions about insurance policies, provide insurer contact information and materials and insurance claims

and assist with the claims process.

The Department of Human Services will have information on a variety of programs available, including replacement Supplemental Nutritional Assistance Program cases, assistance to people with disabilities, emergency and transitional housing, child care and parenting resources and other crisis assistance.

The Department on Aging will have representatives from local agencies available to work with people who already receive the agency’s services, as well as individuals who may now need assistance.

The Illinois Attorney General’s Office will be working with people affected by the flood to help avoid fraudulent contractors as recovery processes and rebuilding homes and businesses begins.

The Illinois Department of Employment Security will be present to assist with unemployment claims and identify applicable employment service programs.

Got Faith Ministry plans to clean Grafton

By RACHEL MCGLASSON Jersey County Journal Got Faith Ministry is looking to do a bit of good this Saturday, June 29, by assembling a mass of individuals to help in flood recovery efforts in Grafton.

The idea came when founder Steve Pegram asked Grafton Mayor Rick Eberlin what could be done to help the flood-affected town.

“I asked Rick what Got Faith could do to help with the flood in Grafton,” Pegram said. “He said, ‘Steve, it will take an army of people to help clean up.’ So, that’s what I want to do. Get an army of people together.”

Pegram is asking individuals to donate however much of their time is available Saturday, June 29 at 8 a.m. to assist with the clean up efforts.

“It would be amazing if we could get 500 people down there,” Pegram said. “God’s Army doing God’s work.”

Pegram has already gotten a

bit of help amassing volunteers from the Jerseyville Community High School assistant principal, Tom Roth.

Pegram said Roth agreed to help get student athletes on various JCHS teams to head down to the river and help Saturday.

On top of that, Pegram is hoping groups from churches, clubs and other organizations will band together and lend some of their time to the good cause.

“We are expecting between 300 and 500 volunteers to come to Grafton this weekend to help us get cleaned up,” Grafton Mayor Rick Eberlin said in a press call.

And all the hard work will be rewarded with a free lunch.

Pegram has secured 1,000 sandwiches which were donated to help feed anyone volunteering.

Anyone interested in volunteering should show up at the Grove Memorial Park next to Jersey State Bank in Grafton this Saturday, June 29 at 8 a.m.

Cover crops and preventive planning insurance claims being utilized in Jersey

By KYLE CUNNINGHAM Jersey County Journal With flooding upon Jersey County, its not just businesses and citizens that are seeing the devastation the flood waters have caused.

Area farmers have been seeing some very serious effects of the flood aftermath.

Many farmers have already filed crop insurance claims to their adjustors because they were either not able to get their crop in or will see a loss in production due to saturated and unusable farmland. Other farmers have resorted to using cover crops such as hay, rather than receiving a preventive plant payout.

The deadline for corn has long since passed and several claims have been filed within Jersey County.

“We have had a fair amount so far,” Country Financial Insurance Representative Dan Eberlin said in regard to the insurance claims received.

Soybeans are still in play as growers will have 25 days from the deadline date of June 20 to get their crop planted.

Jerseyville, Illinois

Illinois to usher in new laws

By KYLE CUNNINGHAM Jersey County Journal Beginning on July 1, Illinois will implement two new laws after an initial 250 laws were put in place in January.

The state has certainly undergone a governmental facelift after the election of JB Pritzker as the new governor. In his short time in office, Governor Pritzker has already signed a bill that would legalize recreational marijuana beginning on Jan. 1, 2020 and also passed the Reproductive Healthcare Act which displays the state’s progressive stand on women’s rights.

The two new pieces of legislature that will begin next month include new texting and driving regulations as well as a 19 cents gas tax increase.

Texting while driving has always been an issue in Illinois and across the nation.

According to the National Safety Council, cell phones are the cause of 1.6 million crashes per year, resulting in 390,000 injuries. One in four of all accidents are caused by texting and driving. Illinois will now join several other states in an effort to eliminate these unnecessary driving hazards by issuing tickets instead of warnings.

Starting July 1, any driver caught texting, talking or accessing their GPS without a hands free device will be issued a moving violation ticket. Violators will be charged a $75 fine for their first offense, that number

increasing by $25 each additional offense, capping off at $150. If the individual receives three moving violations in a one year period, their license will be suspended for a period of three months.

Despite the increased penalties that comes along with being issued a citation for cell phone usage, local authorities don’t see much of a change in the area as to how to the issue is currently being handled.

“We’re just going to handle it as we always have handled it,” Jerseyville Police Chief Brad Blackorby said. “If there is a situation where we need to enforce it, we will.”

The second piece of legislation that will certainly have an effect on drivers this summer will be the 19 cent gas tax increase.

Currently Illinois imposes a 19 cent gas tax per gallon, that number will now double as drivers will see a 38 cent gas tax applied per gallon. The new tax burden will now stand as the second highest taxed in the country, behind California at 55 cents per gallon, according to the Tax Foundation.

This state level gas tax hike is estimated to generate an additional $1.2 billion in revenue which will be split by state and local governments.

Based on current inflation projections, the gas tax will increase by nearly penny a year. The inflation mechanism is expected to drive the gas tax to 43.5 cents by 2025, approximately 25 cents per gallon more than now.

Lastly, the American Red Cross will be on hand providing individual disaster case management. Volunteers will be available to work one-on-one with households impacted by the flooding to develop and carry out a disaster recovery plan. The organization will also provide flood buckets, hygiene kits and cleanup kits, as well as mental health counseling if requested.

The MARC will take place Sunday, June 30 from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. at the Jersey Community High School cafeteria, located at 801 North State Street.

(Continued from A1) and receive coverage,” Eberlin said.

Those that wish to not file a claim have been resorting to planting a cover crop.

A cover crop is a plant that is grown primarily for the benefit of the soil as opposed to a crop yield. They are commonly used to suppress weeds, manage soil erosion and prevent fertilizer runoff into waterways. One of the possible cover crops of choice in the area has been hay, especially for those who have livestock.

“Farmers have options to plant a cover crop to protect the soil or a forage crop like hay, which is a plus as feed

for those that raise livestock,” Eberlin said.

Governor JB Pritzker signed a bill May 31 to assist farmers, creating the Fall Covers for Spring Savings: Crop Insurance Reward Program.

Those choosing to participate in the program will receive $5 per acre for their cover crop.

Preventative planting has been no easy task for farmers in Jersey as many areas were washed out, meaning low yields.

“There are just a lot of drained out areas,” Eberlin said. “Quite a few areas that are wet will see reduced yields.

Overall thousands of acres in the county will be failed

acres, even though they were planted, one of the hardest hit areas was Nutwood, due to the levee breach.

Despite these harsh setbacks, Eberlin said farmers have had a positive outlook when it comes to planting and will do whatever it takes to press on.

“Farmers are always optimistic, if they can get a crop in the ground, they rather do that than take a payout,” he said.

Also, warmer weather and a stoppage of rainfall could help salvage some of farmers’ yields.

“Mother Nature sometimes has a way of healing a crop,” Eberlin said.

Illinois nursing homes receive $240m additional funding

By RACHEL MCGLASSON Jersey County Journal As part of the state’s recently passed budget, nursing homes across Illinois will see an addition of $240 million next fiscal year.

Of that $240 million, $70 million will be directly appropriated to help nursing homes meet minimum staffing requirements.

Another $170 million will update the reimbursement formula for support costs such as food, utilities, maintenance and equipment.

Advocates proposed the bill as a way to offset some of the 20-plus care facilities closures that have taken place over the past five years due to budget cuts and outdated Medicaid reimbursement rates. “This money means survival,� Pat Comstock, executive director of nursing home advocacy group Health Care Council of Illinois, said. “Our members are thrilled, but they’re also relieved because these dollars are going to provide some much needed relief from the struggles to survive that members are experiencing.�

With this legislation also comes accountability. Nursing homes that fail to meet staffing minimums or provide safeguard against the use of psychotropic drugs will see hefty fines. These measures were put in as a way to hold the care facilities accountable, as well as provide comfort for both workers and patients.

These accountability measures will direct the Department of Healthcare and Family Services (DHFS) to obtain payroll data and administer fines based on the amount of hours a facility is short staffed. Facilities would also be required to advertise any short staffing violations on websites and at public entryways, lobbies and registration desks.

The measure would also require consent from either a patient or their guardian before psychotropic drugs can be administered.

This safety measure comes partially as a result of work done by the senior advocacy group AARP, which conducted a study last year finding Illinois as the second-worst state in the nation for giving antipsychotic drugs without a psychiatric diagnosis. AARP and nursing home workers stated at a news conference earlier this year that these drugs were often administered in understaffed facilities as an effort to keep patients sedated and more manageable for staff.

According to official records from the Illinois Department of Public Health, in the past five years, Jerseyville Nursing and Rehab has been fined for five Type A violations and one Type B violation, along with an administrative warning; Jerseyville Manor has been fined for four Type B violations and Willow Rose

Nursing Home has been fined for one Type A and one Type B violation.

A Type A violation is summed up as a violation that caused mental or physical harm to a resident due to a condition or occurrence relating to the operation of the facility that created substantial probability that a risk of death or serious mental or physical harm will result. A Type B violation is an incident which would likely cause mental of physical harm to a resident based on a condition or occurrence relation to the operation of a facility that is more likely than not to cause more than minimal physical or mental harm.

Violations like this are often cited as being caused by understaffing of nursing homes. The additional funding is looking to prevent incidents like this from occurring. “Nursing home workers deserve a safe and secure work environment where caregivers are not constantly overburdened, exhausted and stressed trying to care from sometimes up to 30 or 40 residents, if not more, at a single time,� Greg Kelley, president of the SEIU Healthcare Illinois Union, said. “The victory to stop short staffing in Illinois is nothing short of historic for our state’s nursing home workforce.�

Accounting firm Plante Moran conducted a study last year that identified Illinois’ Medicaid reimbursement rate ranked 49th in the nation. The study found that, on average, nursing homes lost approximately $15,000 per year — or $41 per day — for each Medicaid-funded patient.

Based somewhat on the number of Medicaid patients in a facility, the $70 million for nurse staffing will be distributed by a funding formula to be decided by DHFS. The formula will be designed to drive more funding to facilities with more Medicaid bed days.

To help establish where the need is greatest, nursing homes will be required to submit an individualized staffing plan to DHFS and must submit quarterly reports to demonstrate that the funding is being used appropriately. If a nursing home fails to use the funds according to the approved plans, they risk losing future funding. “So, a facility that may be struggling to meet the current staffing ratios will first put money in to bring that facility up to or exceed the staffing ratios,� Comstock said.

Once the staffing minimums are met, leftover funds can be used for other staffing matters, such as increasing wages or benefits to increase retention or ease the hiring process.

The $170 million in support costs will update reimbursement rates that were determined 15 years ago, in 2004. While the formula for the funding has not yet been determined, $37 million will be used to ensure no facilities will lose funding as a result of the formula.

Flood impact (Continued from A1) going to be north of two billion.�

Aside from just damage caused by high flood waters, Wellenkamp explained that the extensive loss farmers are facing, along with river navigation and the economic boost farmers provide to tend to their fields, are also major costs that all play into the overall loss.

Grafton Mayor Rick Eberlin was one of the mayors on the call to further explain how the flooding has affected those in Jersey County. “We have sustained significant flooding here in Grafton, however, we are better off than we were in ’93,� he said. “Since then we moved off the flood plain and the state of Illinois adopted strong requirements on making new structures flood resistant.�

Eberlin explained that Grafton businesses have been some of the hardest hit of the community. “Some of the losses to our Main Street businesses have been high and that will have a definite impact on us for most of 2019,� he said. “We had a council meeting on Tuesday (June 18) night and it was just unbelievably sickening as to how much we’ve been affected. Our revenues are down between 80

to 100 percent with several businesses in our community not being able to open at all this year. This has affected us since October of last year when we had the flooding and this will be the third time, with this crest going to 35.17 (feet), which moves us into second place, shattering the ’73 record and falling short of the ’93 record.�

Now as waters have slowly began receding, Grafton is cautiously beginning the clean up and recovery process. “Now, we got a ways to go before we can get our Main Street opened but we have a target of about the third of July, if the graph holds true and I’ve seen in the last day and a half that there have been several positive things that have happened on that graph,� Eberlin said, referring to the National Weather Service’s Hydrograph of predicted river levels. “Right now, we’re at 28.8 feet and we need to get down another four and 3/10ths feet to open up our main drag, so, you know, hopefully the weather will continue to cooperate, the water will go down and we can attack that.�

As Eberlin mentioned, as of Tuesday evening, the Mississippi River at Grafton sat at 28.8 feet, barely dipping

back down into the moderate flood stage. The river is predicted to fall back into the normal flood stage on July 4.

According to the MRCTI and various mayors along the Mississippi River, while flooding was extreme, it could have been much worse if steps had not been taken after the flood of 1993. “Our water and sewer was moved onto the hillside, so it hasn’t been in danger at all this time around,� Eberlin said. “We’ve also instituted some wetland in Grafton on a smaller scale and we’re always looking to make things better here.�

One of the main items Eberlin wants to focus on for recovery of the community is keeping government buyouts to a minimum. “Currently, I’m in conversation as to how we can get some of the buyout properties,� he explained. “I’m going to lose business. I’m going to lose homeowners.

We had a meeting last night (June 24) with homeowners in Grafton and there are several that are just done.�

Grafton’s tourism industry, which is the largest source of revenue for the town, is affected by federal buyouts because lots that could be utilized sit empty. “We cannot afford in this

town to have any more federal buyouts, so we’re trying to institute a program so we can go to these people before the potential for a buyout is offered and get them to either sell to a private investor or maybe we can use some of our assets that we’ve got stored away to purchase those properties.�

When asked how exactly the length of this flood — one of the longest floods in history — has affected different areas, Eberlin said for Grafton, the mental strain was the worst. “We’re used to quick up and downs of the river, anymore is seems to be a yearly occurrence‌ before we just considered it a nuisance,â€? he said. “The biggest problem that we’re experiencing with the duration is the mental aspect. There’s been a couple occasions where we started to clean up only to have it stopped by another rise in the river. We’re cautiously optimistic.â€?

Cleanup efforts have started in Grafton, with a large push for volunteers to help out this Saturday, June 29 in accordance with Got Faith Ministry. To see how you can help, read “Got Faith Ministry plans to clean Grafton� in this week’s edition of the Jersey County Journal.

ket.

A tradition that’s been around for hundreds of years, farmer’s markets offer benefits to both consumers and sellers.

Tuesday marked the beginning of Jerseyville’s annual Farmer’s and Artisan’s Market, which pops up every Tuesday from 4 to 7 p.m. in the parking lot of Outrageous Outdoors.

Peaches, corn, tomatoes, summer squash, jams and jellies are only a small list of some of the amazing produce and products that local farmers and artisans offer up.

While some may argue it’s easier to go to larger grocery stores, where the entirety of a long grocery list can be picked up, farmer’s markets not only offer unique items not found elsewhere, but they can also help stretch the weekly grocery budget a little further.

Farme’rs markets also provide a unique atmosphere not found in many other places.

Various members of the community converge in one area, some selling the literal fruits of the labor, others looking to support a local business person or grower and others are just taking a peek at what’s around.

Sometimes, the farmer’s market is a good place to go and get a bite to eat, with pork chops and pork burgers being cooked by the Jersey County Farm Bureau the first Tuesday of each month.

Overall, Jersey County’s Farmer’s and Artisan’s Market isn’t just a place to pick up a zucchini, it’s a place to talk with neighbors, support local growers, experience the culture of Jersey County and be a a part of something bigger.

What do Americans want?

T

his question is always relevant and politicians now in the heat of rhetoric war each believe they have the answer.

Americans have wants and we have desperate needs. We don’t always get what we want.

A friend of mine used to say that people in hell want ice water. What we want, what we need and what we end up with in America are not always going to be the same.

Americans do not want war with Iran.

We don’t want the Iranians bombing oil tankers and shooting down our 130 million dollar drones, either. Iran is in the Middle East. Here we go again with the subject of oil. How much killing is going to go on over the world’s relentless thirst for oil?

America doesn’t have another trillion dollars and two or three thousand lives to throw away on another war. However, here we are again in the Middle East boiling pot. Iraq?

Afghanistan? Iran? Is there no end?

Most Americans would like a peaceful existence. We would like to work our 40 years, have a retirement and collect our Social Security. We would like to have medical insurance so we can go to the doctor. A meaningful existence of fulfilling daily activity, family and friends are important to most Americans. It would be very nice if we could have good roads and bridges which are crumbling in many parts of the nation.

We want good and affordable education for our families and a military and police force that are strong and have what they need.

We must have secure borders. People must come legally and orderly to our country.

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).

America must still be the land where people can genuinely dream and pursue a better life. People who have sneaked into our country are desperate for a better life.

However, they need to understand there is a right and wrong way to enter America.

We can’t live in the past in this nation. You can come to a standstill in your life if you are always looking back. You can’t really drive forward if you are always looking over your shoulder. We can’t change the past. Make amends, give or seek forgiveness if necessary and then make today and tomorrow better than yesterday. None of us living today can change anything that our nation did a hundred years ago. We can, though, treat all people equal today with equal opportunities for all people.

It all sounds simple. Work hard. Treat others the way we would like to be treated.

Help each other in this nation. Work to live at peace in the world. Don’t squander our nation’s money and resources. Keep America free. Live in peace and pursue our dreams.

Mostly, this is what Americans want. ––––––––––––––––––––––––– Q Glenn Mollette is an American columnist and author. Contact him at GMollette@aol.com.

emocratic Gov. J. B. Pritzker and the legislature have gambled on a new direction for Illinois. The dramatic new course seeks to turn our state from a government mired in conflict, impasse and perennial deficits to that of big picture thinking, and big spending.

The two primary enactments this past month were a capital construction bill of breathtaking dimensions and a path toward significant higher income taxes to be imposed on the top 3 percent of earners.

The effects of the construction program for both transportation projects and vertical ones such as university laboratories and repairs will be felt almost immediately. An increase of 19 cents per gallon in gas taxes goes into effect July 1, along with sharp increases in licenses for drivers and their auto plates, as well as other fees.

Revenues from new casinos, sports betting, and more video terminals, always uncertain, are to pay for the university labs and other brick-and-mortar projects. I believe gambling revenue is fool’s gold and has been since the 1980s, when the lottery was sold as the solution to our school funding problems.

The possible income tax increases require us to vote in the November 2020 election on the issue of authorizing graduated, as opposed to the present flat, rates. If threefifths of voters casting ballots on the issue say Yes, then rates on those with incomes above $250,000 will go as high as 7.99 percent, from the present 4.95 percent.

The State of Illinois has seen its net assets decline from a negative $4 billion in 2002 to minus $150 billion this past year, according to annual reports from the state comptroller. This works out to an average decline in state worth of almost $9 billion a year, on an annual budget of about $75 billion this past year. In other words, we have been spending and obligating our state to almost $9 billion more each year than we have been taking in from taxes and fees.

The dust has not yet settled on actions taken on the budget for the coming year approved by the General Assembly, who put together a 1,500-page bill at the last minute of the scheduled session. Lawmakers had barely time to read the cover page before voting on it. Though the budget is proclaimed to be balanced, I fear we will record yet another deficit, as additional spending and business tax breaks (revenue loss) were added during the last-minute budget scrum.

Watchdog groups such as the Civic Federation of Chicago and the Civic Committee of the Commercial Club are deeply concerned that the hastily drawn spending products of the governor and Legislature represent neither sound planning nor performance measures to ensure efficient spending of taxpayer dollars.

For examGuest Column ple, tucked

BY JIM NOWLAN away in the capital “plan� are allocations of between $1.5 million and $6 million per each of our 177 legislators, depending upon the chamber and party of the member, to be spent as the member sees fit.

What is this new Pritzker model for state government? There are basically two, sharply contrasting models to choose from. Texas has its low tax/low service model; the Lone Star state has no income tax. In contrast, California has a high tax/high service approach; the top income tax rate in California is 13.30 percent. Both states achieved strong rates of economic growth from 2011 to 2016. Texas’ per capita gross domestic product grew by a compounded rate of 3.86 percent during the period; that of California by 3.23 percent; Illinois, 1.01 percent.

The Pritzker model is certainly high tax.

According to the Tax Foundation, Illinois already had the 5th highest state and local tax burden in 2012 (latest year comparative data published). The problem the new governor and Illinois policymakers face is that our state has extraordinary legacy costs. Those result from earlier misdeeds regarding our quite rich public employee pension systems, as well as from higher-than-typical overall costs for our huge federal-state health care system, which covers 3.1 million low-income and nursing home residents.

I believe the growing, unfunded liabilities for both our state government as well as local police-fire pensions are unsustainable, and that benefits must be trimmed. The governor disagrees, saying the issue is solely how to pay for the pensions.

If we didn’t have these high costs, Illinois could be high tax/high service. However, once spending for these services is taken out each year, the best the Illinois model can be, even with the yet to-be-determined higher income taxes, is high tax/low-to-medium service.

Thus, Pritzker faces at least two tough challenges, one political, the other about economic development.

First, he must prove to motorists his infrastructure program will generate more improvements for our decrepit highways than cost at the pump. As for economic development, the governor has to show the world, especially business and entrepreneurs, that his investments in infrastructure, universities and the people of Illinois will offset the high taxes and make the state a better, more attractive place to work and live. ––––––––––––––––––––––––– Q Jim Nowlan is a former Illinois legislator, state agency director, aide to three unindicted Illinois governors, author and professor.

Birthdays

Engagement

Former Jersey County woman celebrates 100th birthday Born June 7, 1919 in Delhi, Mary Lois (Sunderland) Shepard was the only child of Julia and Clarence “Mr. Buddy� Sunderland.

Her father was the village of Delhi Postmaster and general store owner. The business located on the corner of Church Lane and Stagecoach Road has long since been removed, but a granite marker commemorates its location. Her mother, Julia Sunderland, was a school teacher and very active in the Delhi Baptist Church and community youth activities.

Shepard attended elementary school in Delhi and graduated from Jersey Community High School in 1937.

During those years, Mary Lois was also very involved in 4-H, earning numerous awards and attending state and national events. She continued her education at the University of Illinois in Urbana/Champaign, earning a bachelor’s degree in home economics in 1941. Following college, she pursued a teaching career first in northern Illinois and later back in Jerseyville.

During World War II, Mary Lois met and married Gordon Shepard in 1943.

After the war, they built a home and settled near Delhi.

Gordon worked for the Postal Service in Jerseyville and was commonly known as “The Singing Mailman� for his vocal music talents.

Shepard taught Home Economics at Jersey Community High School for many years. They had two sons — Randy and Terry—who both attended school in Delhi, Jerseyville and graduated from the University of

Illinois.

After retirement, Mary Lois and Gordon moved to Wisconsin as missionaries to plant a church on the Stockbridge Munsee Indian Reservation, where Gordon was a tribal member. Working with the local people, they helped establish the Stockbridge Bible Church near Bowler, Wisc.

A second retirement allowed them to summer in Wisconsin and winter in southern Texas. After Gordon passed in 2016, Mary Lois continued to live on the Reservation and support the work of the church.

In 2013, the combination of severe winters and advancing age convinced her to relocate to Yakima, Wash. to live with her son Randy and his wife Elizabeth. Her younger son, Terry and his wife reside in Bryn Mawr, Penn. Mary Lois has six grown grandchildren and 11 great grandchildren ranging in age from one to 22.

A reception is being held in her honor to “Celebrate a Century� on July 6 in Yakima. Anyone wishing to send greetings may send them to 2223 S. 64th Avenue, Yakima, WA 98903.

How to prepare your family when an aging loved one is moving in No man or woman, regardless of his or her age, wants to consider that a day may come when they need to rely on loved ones to help them perform everyday activities. But every day tens of millions of people serve as unpaid caregivers for their aging friends or family members.

A 2015 survey from the National Alliance for Caregiving and AARP found that approximately 34.2 million people had provided unpaid care to an adult age 50 or older in the last 12 months.

Many unpaid caregivers are pulling double duty, caring for their aging parents while also raising families of their own.

While thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no guarantee that aging men and women will require care, caregivers figure to become more necessary as life expectancies increase. In fact, recent years have seen the senior population in the United States exceed 50 million for the first time in the countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s history,

and figures from the U.S. Census Bureau suggest that figure will continue to rise until 2029.

Men and women who are preparing to welcome an aging loved one into their homes may wonder how to make that transition go smoothly, especially if they have young children at home.

The following are some tips that can help families prepare to welcome an aging friend or family member into their homes. Â&#x2021; 6SHDN ZLWK \RXU ORYHG oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s physicians. Speak with an aging loved oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s physicians so you can get a complete picture of their physical and mental condition. This can give you an accurate depiction of how much care your loved one needs now and how much they might need in the future if their condition worsens. Â&#x2021; 'LVFXVV IRUWKFRPLQJ changes as a family. Once you gain a full understanding of your loved oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s physi-

cal and mental condition and before this person moves into your home, discuss it with your family. Adding a new member to your household will affect everyone, so each member of the family, including young children, should be included when discussing how the family dynamic will change. Parents must recognize that even young children may be asked to make sacrifices to accommodate aging loved ones. Explain these sacrifices in advance and how important it is to make an aging loved one feel welcome when they move in. Â&#x2021; 'LVFXVV FRQGLWLRQV ZLWK children. Children may recognize their grandparents or elderly loved ones have physical limitations, but they likely wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t understand conditions such as dementia or Alzheimerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s disease. Parents can ask a physician about how to explain cognitive decline to young children.

Children may not recognize cognitive decline as read-

ily as adults, so parents may need to discuss these conditions with their children periodically and/or if the conditions worsen.

Millions of people across the globe welcome aging loved ones into their homes when they can no longer care for themselves. Such

caregiving changes family dynamics, and these changes should be discussed before and after a loved one moves in.
