County wrestles with closed meeting minutes

By Mark Pace Jersey County Journal The Jersey County Board formed a committee to review closed meeting minutes and voted to keep the minutes private, for now, after Chairman Don Little urged the board to do so.

The move came after former board member John Houseman voiced concern at the May meeting over the improper handling of minutes.

Houseman asked for clarification as to why closed session minutes were not released for 13 meetings between August 2013 and September 2014 and alleged the board was not following state law that requires it to do so semiannually.

The board discussed releasing closed session minutes at the June meeting, but Little advised the board against doing so at this time.

“Some of these items still carry active personnel issues, some litigation and almost all [tapes and documents] seem to have some issue regarding labor contract positions and strategies that have been discussed by the board for ongoing contracts,” Little said. “It is my recommendation that … for at least the next six months, until we have a committee appointed, that these remain closed.”

Little recommended an ad hoc committee be formed to review each recording and document.

The committee consists of two Democrats – Pam Heitzig and Mary Kirbach – and two Republicans – Gary Krueger and Rhonda Linders – and was unanimously approved by the board.

The committee will review all of the closed meeting minutes and present a recommendation to the board no later than January 2016. The chairman also recommended each board member take the time to review the respective closed meeting minutes before that time.

While the ad hoc committee will review the minutes and make a recommendation to the board, some concern was raised by board members as to why minutes have not yet been released.

“Sometimes I wonder why we keep negotiations away from the public when it’s their money paying the salaries, and I wonder if some of our negotiations would go smoother if the public were a little bit more aware,” Linders said. “That way they could have some sort of input.”

Little warned of the repercussions that could occur if ongoing negotiations are made public. Negotiations run smoother if both sides are able to speak openly before a negotiation is reached, Little said. He also added that it would be foolish to open current negotiations to the public.

Linders added that she wasn’t asking for current negotiations to be made public. Rather, she wanted to know about recordings from past negotiations.

However, no negotiation ses-

“Some of these items still carry active personnel issues, some litigation and almost all [tapes and documents] seem to have some issue regarding labor contract positions and strategies that have been discussed by the board for ongoing contracts.”

Don Little County Board chairman sions were recorded, Little said.

Board member Ron Henerfouth asked if there is anything from closed meetings that can be released at this time. However, the recordings and documents from closed sessions consist of both ongoing and prior issues, and the county does not know of a way to release prior issues without releasing current ones, as well.

“I’m going to air on the side of caution,” Little said. “Most of these have a conglomeration of things that could or should be released, but they also have one or two other items that may be mish- mashed … together … and should not be open.”

It is not uncommon for boards or councils in the area to not release closed session minutes.

Many times the release of prior minutes, which is required by law, is often overlooked or forgotten.

club relocates windmill

Bob Crossen/Jersey County Journal

Joe Ziegler secures a crane to the top of a weathered windmill on the Tri-County Antique Club grounds in Dow off Illinois Route 3 Thursday morning. The club moved the windmill approximately 50 feet north to avoid road construction of the state highway. Illinois Department of Transportation is widening Route 3 while also improving culverts under the roadway. After Ziegler secured the crane to the windmill, he and Fred Kuhn cut the legs from its foundational footings, filed the legs to ensure they were even, and guided the structure to its new footings with the help of the crane.

Council pursues legal action for incomplete demolition

By Bob Crossen Jersey County Journal The Grafton City Council unanimously approved to pursue legal action against Jeff Lorton for the incomplete demolition of 203 E. Main St. Demolition of the structure suffered several delays during the past year until it was demolished earlier this year. However, the debris from the demolition remains on the lot, hidden behind a wooden fence facing Main Street.

During the last regular meeting, the council approved to authorize the city’s building inspector to file an ordinance violation against Lorton. The inspector has since resigned from that position (see accompanying article).

The council also approved several items related to the property, particularly seeking quotes for clean up of the debris, replacement of the wooden fence with a wrought iron one and repair of the sidewalk in front of the property.

Although it may take a few months for the issue to make its way through the court system, Alderman Jerry Bauersachs said he would like the council to be prepared to act when a court decision is made.

Replacing the fence, he said, is aimed at improving the aesthetic. The sidewalk poses a different issue, he added.

“Why we ever put asphalt to repair a concrete sidewalk, I have no idea. Probably because it was cheaper,” Bauersach said.

Alderwoman Bobbie Amburg said the repair is temporary as Lorton finalizes plans of what he intends to do with the lot. She did not provide information on the

Visitors flood Family Fishing Fair

By Bob Crossen Jersey County Journal Pere Marquette State Park was affected by a different kind of flood this year as hundreds of people visited the park’s grounds for the Two Rivers Family Fishing Fair Saturday.

Many lathered on sunscreen while others took to shady tents to avoid the beating June sun, but the heat did not curb the excitement for those who attended the fair Saturday.

Zach Rue, 8, ate a funnel cake in the shaded food area. The best part of the fishing fair, he said, was attempting to catch trout at the trout pond station.

“There’s a lot of things about fish you can do,” Rue said, adding he was able to catch one of the trout from the pond this year.

Zach was not the only person fond of the trout fishing station, however.

Lisa Horn, along with her children, Emma and Will, raced from one end of the fair to the other to get in the trout line.

Horn, of Winfield, Mo., said the event was “Something fun for the kids to do.” Emma, 4, said she enjoyed running through the maze, but Will, 6, had not reached his favorite activity yet.

“He wants to catch the trout. We’re working our way there,” Horn said.

“Mimi’s already waiting in line.”

JOURNAL

The family, she said, took ferry rides to visit the fair, which they had heard about while watching the news.

Living up to its name, Justin Mundy said the fair was a way for him to spend time with his children for the weekend.

“It gave me something to do and I decided to bring them,” Mundy said, noting he loved every bit of it. “I’m having a blast because they’re having fun, and this is something they’ll never forget.”

The day was only made better, he said, when they were filmed for part of a YouTube video about the fishing fair, but most of all, the hands-on activities were what most excited his children.

Outrageous Outdoors, for instance, had a bow fishing booth where children could fire soft-tip arrows into shallow swimming pools filled with (See, fishing, A2) Bob Crossen/Jersey County Journal

Grafton building inspector resigns

By Bob Crossen Jersey County Journal The Grafton City Council will be seeking a new building and zoning inspector after Bruce Wickenhauser resigned from the position.

In an email dated May 27, Wickenhauser formally tendered his resignation to the mayor.

“Thank you for allowing me to serve Grafton. It was a pleasure to get to know you and many of the Grafton residents,” Wickenhauser wrote in the email.

In the absence of a building inspector, the council gave Grafton Police Chief Chris Sullivan direction regarding certain building and zoning issues it would like completed.

potential development.

Bauersachs said the cost for removing the debris will likely be under $20,000, the city’s bid limit amount, meaning the city would not have to seek bids for the work.

He said he would reach out to businesses and individuals to find the best price, noting a similar approach will be used for the wrought iron fence and sidewalk repair.

The council also approved to seek quotes on the demolition of a derelict structure on Wren Court. The council awaits a decision (See, grafton, A2)

City Council tables possible approval of street sealing program for further study

By Mark Pace Jersey County Journal The Jerseyville City Council voted to table a motion of the discussion and possible approval of bids submitted to supply and spread road oil to the city for the street maintenance program until further study can be done.

The bids will cost the city more than $70,000 for the annual program to improve the streets throughout Jerseyville. Two bids, one from Piasa Fuels and the other from JTC Petroleum, were read during the meeting.

However, the motion was tabled so the bids could be further examined and the council could study each bid before voting next meeting.

In other business, the Jerseyville Police

Department proposed a title change for Roger Kirby, and the council unanimously approved the motion. The ordinance will change Kirby’s title from assistant police chief to deputy chief of police.

“The only thing that this ordinance will do is change the title,” Chief of Police Brad Blackorby said. “The Illinois state statute refers to the title as deputy chief of police, and I want to be in line with that.”

The city council also approved to close U.S. Highway 67 July 14 from 5:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. for the Jersey County Fair Parade.

The Parks and Recreation Department introduced its newest full-time employee, Ben Bishop. Bishop previously worked parttime for the department and was recently brought on full-time.

(Continued from A1) from the court before it can approve the demolition, however.

The council also approved a bid from Bollinger’s to mow city-owned lots on Grafton Hills Drive, of which there are 33, at a cost of $18 per lot. Bauersachs said the expense will likely be cheaper than using city workers, whom the council would rather see work on the downtown area.

“We decided to hire somebody to mow that up there so that our public works people would be able to concentrate on Grafton, the downtown area … rather than hire someone, which in the long run will probably cost us more money,” Bauersachs

said.

Alderwoman Bobbie Amburg suggested the cost of mowing be paid out of the Grafton Hills fund, where money has accrued from sales of city lots on Grafton Hills Drive. Amburg said there is $41,000 in the fund that has not be used in four years.

Bauersachs said he was hesitant to approve the mowing with the caveat it be paid from that account because that fund is being considered for elimination due to inactivity. The auditor, he said, will advise him on the matter before it is cut from the budget and the money is moved to a different fund.

In other business, the council:

n Approved a special event permit for the St. Patrick’s Church Picnic, the 2014-2015 municipal maintenance expenditure statement, and a resolution for maintenance of streets and highways by the municipality under the Illinois Highway Code. n Approved removal of a commercial sign on the Mulberry Street sign and the Adopt-a-Lot application. n Heard reports from Grafton Police Chief Chris Sullivan regarding streets, parking and law enforcement. n Agreed to pursue negotiations with the Hawg Pit BBQ Barn regarding city parking lots adjacent to the business.

Fishing

(Continued from A1) self-propelled faux fish. Teaching the shooters about better technique, Darren Bierman said the children could not get enough of the activity Saturday.

“It’s nice seeing them shoot the fish and everything. A lot of these kids have never seen anything like this before, so it’s a new experience for them,” Bierman, first year volunteer, said. “There’s nothing else like this getting these kids in the outdoors.”

Getting the children active is only part of the Two Rivers Family Fishing Fair, however, as many of the booths focused on education of the fair’s youngest attendees.

Taylor Thornton, Center for American Archeology educator in Kampsville, said she was surprised by how many children were interested in the center’s booth.

“It’s been a steady stream since 10 o’clock,” Thornton said. “We weren’t so sure about the

age groups and how to get some of the smaller kids into it, but I think having the fish bones really draw them in.”

Although the bones may be old, Thornton said many of the fish that were prevalent in the river 2,000 years ago are still prevalent today.

The center showed off some 2,000-year-old scales preserved by the Kampsville organization, and demonstrated how fish net plummets were used to catch fish that long ago.

“We’ve found fish hooks at sites. They’re usually made from little deer bones that have been whittled down into a hook,” Thornton said.

Those hooks, she said, are on display at the Kampsville Museum in Kampsville, where the Center for American Archeology will host a family excavation day June 13.

New effort benefits area seniors and Meals on Wheels Jerry Best from Jerseyville is on a mission to see more families share sit-down Sunday dinners with their senior loved ones.

The reason? New research shows that 50 percent of surveyed families living near senior relatives feel they do not share enough meals with older loved ones, losing an important family connection.

“For seniors, it’s not what’s on their plate that matters most at mealtime – it’s who is at the table with them,” said Best, owner of the local Home Instead Senior Care office. “When seniors share meals with a companion, they have a better mealtime experience – both nutritionally and emotionally.”

Almost 75 percent of the people surveyed said they only sit down for a family meal with senior loved ones for special occasions, events

drivers. However, when other violations are observed such as driving with a suspended or revoked license, operating a vehicle without a valid registration or insurance, or safety belt violations, enforcement action may be taken. The following citations were issued during the patrols: n Occupant restraint offenses - 1

or holidays. They say a big part of the problem is time – both not having enough of it and conflicting schedules.

To encourage families to make time for these meals, the Home Instead Senior Care Foundation will donate $1 to Meals on Wheels America (up to $20,000 total through July 31, 2015) for each person that commits to regularly scheduling family dinners at SundayDinnerPledge.com. Pledging to have a sit-down dinner with loved ones will help to ensure other seniors will have a quality meal, friendly visit and safety check delivered by Meals on Wheels programs across the country.

“We hope families will make the pledge to either revive or begin new mealtime traditions with their senior loved ones,” Best said. “This small commit-

ment can have a big impact on a senior’s well-being.”

To help families across the country host their own Sunday dinner, Home Instead Senior Care has partnered with celebrity chef and mother of four, Melissa d’Arabian, to develop easy, nutritious recipes. Additional resources include tips for how to involve seniors in meal planning and preparation, pre- and post-dinner activities and meal plans for healthy, inexpensive meals that all generations can enjoy.

For these free resources and more information on how you can bring back the Sunday dinner and reconnect with your senior loved ones, visit www.SundayDinnerPledge.com or call Home Instead Senior Care at 618639-2273.

t’s not uncommon for the mayor of Grafton to tout the city’s tourism draw.

Businesses thrive on it, and the city is reliant on the sales tax.

Illinois Rep. Rodney Davis referred to the city as “The Jewel of the Mississippi” during a national meeting of Mississippi river towns in March.

Presenting an aesthetically pleasing city would only improve that aspect, and the Grafton City Council took several measures to ensure downtown gets the attention it deserves to maintain its status as a jewel.

The body is seeking legal action against the owner of a property neighboring the Ruebel Hotel where a building demolition has not been completed. But not only is the city making the effort to clean away the debris, it also plans to repair the broken sidewalk in front of the building and install a wrought iron fence to match neighboring properties.

And to further the council’s desire of beautifying downtown, the council approved bids for mowing on Grafton Hills Drive, so public works employees can spend more time making the city look better for a hopeful increase in tourism.

But accommodating the masses is just as important as keeping the city clean. And with the help of Police Chief Chris Sullivan, safety has also been at the forefront of the alderpersons’ minds.

The council aims to improve crosswalk safety, although some of them may have to be removed, while also maintaining ADA compliance with them.

Similar compliances will be done on city parking lots to increase the city’s accessibility to the public.

There have been some decisions we and the public have doubted, but we feel these small issues could pay big dividends.

For a city so dependent on tourism, we look forward to it living up to Davis’ words: The Jewel of the Mississippi.

Your Views An explanation why PTELL didn’t pass TO THE EDITOR: In response to Professor Williams’ letter, he states that he wonders what happened between the November election and the current election. When I was going door-to-door last summer people did seem to be interested in PTELL. However, in the weeks prior to the April election I noticed the school district really coming on strong. The school district posted videos online that had the children holding signs that said that if PTELL passed there would be no extracurricular activities whatsoever. That is a big lie. Under PTELL they would have still received their amount that they normally get.

Anything else would be restricted to 5 percent or the CPI whichever is lower.

They also took pictures of

the parking lot and the ceiling of the library at the junior high where the ceiling was leaking and stated that with the money from the sales tax these things could be fixed. Why wasn’t regular upkeep done?

The school district created this problem and wanted the people to believe that a tax was necessary to get these projects done. The teachers told the children to tell their parents how to vote, the kids told their parents, and the parents bought it. As a result, the voice of the school district was heard, not the voice of the people.

The 9-12 also should have called the Property Tax Extension Limitation Law and not just referred to it as PTELL. Some of the voters said that they couldn’t find it on the ballot because they were looking for the acronym. Both sides are at fault.

Mom, memories, and the miles between O

ver the last year, nearly 800 miles has been put between my mom and me. My mom, the single most important woman in my world, still resides in Jerseyville while I have made my way to another small town out in the Eastern Panhandle of West Virginia.

And although my husband and I seriously want her to come join us, we haven’t been able to convince her… at least not yet.

So the number one priority on my bucket list has been to keep building memories with Mom until I can’t anymore, no matter what the distance.

One such memory I continue to build upon with her over all these miles is the shared viewing experience of the movie, “The Lost Valentine.” If you haven’t seen it and you don’t mind stories about lifelong love, loyalty, and patriotism, it’s worth a look. Maybe even more than one.

The storyline unfolds at the start of World War II. When the war calls, separating a young couple on their one-year wedding anniversary on Valentine’s Day 1944, Navy pilot Neil Thomas makes a promise that he isn’t sure he can keep to his expectant bride as he

boards the train—to return safely to her.

A Western Union telegram later delivers the news that the Navy pilot has been declared missing in action.

A young Caroline, holding the son his father never met, says to the messenger, “He’s not dead…I mean they don’t know. Missing isn’t dead.

My husband’s not dead… missing is not dead.”

And over the next 60 years, Caroline Thomas (portrayed most excellently

by Betty White) keeps the promise that she had made back to him when he was leaving; she waits each Valentine’s Day at the train station for him to come home to her.

Eventually a young television journalist (played by Jennifer Love Hewitt) gets the assignment to cover the story. In doing so, she helps bring Caroline’s lifelong love back home to her—on Valentine’s Day 2004—what would have been the couple’s 60th wedding anniversary.

For my mom, it brings back memories of her Uncle Bill, who also went missing in action in World War II. He was never found. She was close to her Uncle Bill, and has missed him ever since. It also reminds her of the love she shared with my step-

dad for all Guest their years t o g e t h e r Column and what by melissa it’s like for meske her living without him now.

For me, having married the love for the rest of my life on Valentine’s Day a year ago, it makes me think of what it would be like to live without him. It also makes me think about what Mom must be experiencing now as she moves through the rest of her life without the love of her life to share her “everydays.”

Most of all, it reminds me that memories can continue to be made, even if there are hundreds of miles between them. Lifelong love is kept alive through those memories, despite the distance or the years.

Now if I could just convince Mom that we could make a lot more memories like that much more quickly if she just jumped in the van and came with us…

My experience on cats and crochet A

unt Carol is teaching me how to crochet.

When I first developed an interest in crocheting, she bought me my crochet hook and a skein of variegated yarn along with a dishcloth and potholder how-to book.

Since I’m just learning the ropes, I am not yet ready to make a dishcloth. I started out with the single crochet, the variegated yarn, and the scarf! I learned how to cast on the stitches, change the yarn color when needed, and tie off at the end. I also learned that you have to count your stitches.

Learning to crochet is hard work!

Did you ever try crocheting with a cat?

My aunt has three cats: Gollum, Half-Pint, and Sugar. Why mention the cats, you ask? I took my crocheting to my aunt’s house for the Memorial Day weekend, so that Aunt Carol could teach me how to do the double crochet stitch.

While I was at my aunt’s learning this complicated stitch the cats were watching that constantly moving yarn ball with wide, expressive eyes. Not once did the cats’ eyes leave that ball of yarn.

Only Gollum was disinterested. She had the house to explore. But I had Half-Pint and Sugar’s undivided attention.

I have never seen two cats who were so very much interested in that ball of yarn and the crochet hook! No sooner had I taken out my work, than I had two very attentive cats at my feet watching that yarn ball with fascination. Sugar leaped onto my lap. She settled

herself and started to chew the yarn! I put her down.

Half-Pint leaped up onto the couch and batted the yarn to the floor and pounced on the ball. I retrieved the now unwound yarn, rolled it back up, and continued my work.

I can’t tell you how many times I had Sugar in my lap.

I soon learned that I was the most fascinating person in the entire household. As long as I had the yarn out and was crocheting, I had the cats’ solely to myself.

Aunt Carol tells me that she has the same problem with the cats. She is trying to crochet an afghan for the new grandbaby in Colorado, and has to keep the yarn hidden from the cats beneath a couch pillow so that she can work in relative peace and quiet. She tells me that she is constantly putting Sugar off her lap to the floor, and is constantly chasing HalfPint down to retrieve her abducted ball of yarn. With an afghan that is somewhere in the range of 150 stitches, and has more rows than I can count, I don’t doubt she has to keep the yarn hidden. The cats love that yarn!

When I changed yarn colors at Aunt Carol’s house from white to blue, I gave the cats a long piece of yarn to play with. Half-Pint was in heaven (for the span of about two minutes). Then, she returned to wanting the yarn in my hands, and Sugar returned to scheming on how she could get it first!

Cats are funny; they make me laugh. I must admit that I was more flattered at their “attentions” than angry with them for pulling out the stitches and unraveling my

yarn ball.

Guest I thought it was Column kind of by heidi cute the way they moore wanted to play with the yarn. I did, however, draw the line at Sugar actually chewing on my yarn ball! I did yell a little when Half-Pint knocked my yarn ball to the floor, but it was mostly just in jest.

I guess you can say that the cats and I “fought” over that yarn for quite a while before I took Aunt Carol’s suggestion and hid it underneath a pillow.

Now, I am back at my own house where there are no cats. I can crochet and knit in peace and quiet. I can unravel as much yarn as I want, and there is no one to bat at it or chew on it, or want in my lap badly enough to be bold. I guess you can say that I miss the cats. It was fun, in a way, the way we fought over that ball of blue yarn!

That blue yarn has since been crocheted into my project, and the ball of yarn is gone. I hardly ever think about it. It’s just yarn. But the cats, well, I would be lying if I didn’t admit that I enjoyed their attentions.

This year, even if you do not crochet, enjoy your pets.

That project you’re working on can wait. You might even forget about it in a day or two. But, your pets will never, ever forget about you!

Peach crop rebounds after barren 2014

By MARK PACE Jersey County Journal The peach orchards throughout Calhoun County are on track for a 2015 rebound after freezing weather killed the buds of many trees throughout the county last spring.

This is good news to local farmers and the Calhoun economy after a cold spring in 2014 left most of the orchards barren.

“For our orchard, the crop looks good this year,” Yvonne McCauley of McCauley’s Hilltop Orchard said. “Last year we got froze out … and this year is 100 percent better

crop.”

McCauley estimated that nearly two-thirds of orchards in the area were not able to harvest any peaches last year because the fruit had been frozen over.

Even for the few lucky orchards that didn’t lose all of their crops, most of the buds of the peach trees were killed and the fruit was lost.

McCauley believes this year’s crop is already looking more promising than 2014 and will be ready to harvest around July 10.

Fruit is a major contributor to the local economy in the spring and summer months,

and peaches have become a staple of Calhoun.

The acreage of peach farms in the county grew from 560 to 789 between 1997 to 2002, according to the United States Department of Agriculture Census of Agriculture, and a ripe peach crop will pay dividends to the local economy.

A recorded phone message at the Hagen Family Orchard said the family expects to have early peaches ready by the first part of July barring an unexpected change in weather. The message also stated both the peach and apple crops this year look good.

Last year, Tom Ringhausen,

orchard owner, filed an insurance claim for his peach crop because it was deemed a total loss due to the frost, but his year, such claims are likely not needed.

Prime peach season for this area is between July and August. Families are welcome to go pick peaches at many of the orchards in the area, and at others, peaches are picked in advance and sold. Hours of operation for the orchards can be found on the orchards’ websites or by calling in advance.

Most of the local orchards’s addressees and phone numbers are listed on www.greatriverroad.com.

Timeless Treasures

Renovating an historic home

Living in an historic home can be a labor of love. The history and the distinct architecture of historic homes draw buyers to such properties, but what historic homes have in regard to history they often lack in the conveniences of modern life, forcing many historic-home owners to make renovations to bring their homes into the 21st century.

Historic-home renovations differ from other types of modifications.

According to the Victorian Preservation Association, renovation is getting a home back to where it may have been when originally built, but making concessions for today's lifestyle.

Preservation is the act of maintaining a structure in its current historic state, and restoration is returning a home to its original state. Unless a homeowner plans to use an outhouse or live without electricity, the majority of work done on historic properties is likely to fall into the category of a renovation.

Renovating an aging structure can be fulfilling and help to make a home more functional. But make no mistake, such a renovation is a major undertaking. Before beginning, it pays to hire a profes-

sional consultant with expertise in renovating historic properties. He or she can inspect the property to determine which areas of the home are safe and which will need to be upgraded. A professional inspection also can determine if any deficiencies lie hidden in the structure. Potential concerns can be toxic paints and other substances, building code issues, rotting, and structural settling.

Professionals will know what to look for and guide homeowners accordingly.

Homeowners also may want to consult with a preservation association, community restoration group or general owner-builder group. These people can refer homeowners to the craftspeople and materials that will be needed for a job. Homeowners can request to see other historic properties in the area and learn what those owners did to maintain the integrity of a home when using newer materials.

Before any work is started, homeowners should find out if their home is listed with the National Register of Historic Places. According to the United States National Parks Service, property owners can do whatever they want with their prop-

erty so long as there are no federal monies attached to the property. However, the property owner should also contact his or her state's historic preservation office, or SHPO. The SHPO is the state agency that oversees historic preservation efforts in each state, and there may be state or local preservation laws that the owner should be aware of before renovating a historic property.

Craftspeople should have experience with historic homes and a sensitivity and appreciation of renovating older properties. Homeowners always should see examples of a craftsperson's work and verify references from each contractor before hiring anyone to work on the property.

Homeowners who want to include traditional hardware and other peri-

File photo

od details in their homes may be able to find quality replicas of historic milling materials, while others may want to scour antique shops or salvage yards for era-appropriate materials.

Historic renovations can be costly and have a

tendency to go over budget because of unforseen damage and hazards that have to be repaired so the building is up to code.

Going into the project with this in mind can help soften the blow of extra costs down the road.

Historic homes can be beautiful and appeal to buyers who appreciate the one-of-a-kind nature of older properties.

Renovating historic homes may take time and money, but the results may be well worth the effort.

Keith L. Cottingham, husband of Marguerite Sinclair, died at 8:43 a.m.

June 8, 2015 at Jerseyville Nursing and Rehabilitation, located on the farmland where he was born to Lloyd and Anna Hunter Cottingham April 24, 1929.

After the family sold the farm in 1943, they moved to Chicago where he graduated from Lane Technical High School. He attended Northwestern University and then served four years as a pilot in the United States Air Force, flying the Berlin Airlift. He loved his country, proudly flew the American flag and always wore an American flag pin.

He was employed in the corrugated packaging industry, building and operating plants throughout the United States. He ultimately retired as VP of manufacturing in 1998 from Chesapeake Corporation in Binghamton, N.Y. He married Mary Ann Schuele, and together for 37 years they raised two children, Christine and Scott.

She died in 1999.

After having been gone from Jerseyville for 57 years, he was invited to attend Irma Allen’s millennium party in 2000, given for her students in the classes of 1947-48. There, he had a second chance with love when he met Marguerite.

They were married Aug. 11, 2001 at Peace United Church of Christ.

They have enjoyed almost 14 years together, traveling throughout the United States and abroad and spending time with family and friends. They enjoyed their winters in Florida near family for the past nine years.

He is survived by his wife, Marguerite; son, H. Scott Cottingham of Buffalo, N.Y.; daughter, Christine Cottingham and grandson, Sergei Cottingham Lever of Seattle, Wash.; as well as two special nephews, Keith and Steve Cottingham. Also surviving are Marguerite’s children Russ (Jean) of Jerseyville; Brad (Aleta) of Melbourne Fla., Jan (Rick) Rozenboom of South Bend Ind.; and her grandchildren, Todd, Taylor, Avery, and Jillian Sinclair and Morgan and Drake Rozenboom; brothers-in-law, Bill (Doris), Jake (Louise), Dale (Nancy) Gettings; and sisters-in-law, Grace Gettings and Libby Cottingham.

In addition to his first wife, Mary Ann, he was preceded in death by his parents and siblings, Morris, Ralph, Carol, Dale, and Ivan; and brother-inlaw, Lee Gettings.

Because he so valued the time loved ones spent with him in Florida and traveling to spend time with him during his illness, he requested there be no visitation or memorial service.

Cremation rites were accorded.

Memorials would be appreciated to Peace United Church of Christ.

First West Nile Virus Positive Illinois State Police Mosquito in Illinois for 2015 Reported conduct alcohol ple infected with West Nile virus will not show any symptoms. In rare cases, severe illness including meningitis or encephalitis, or even death, can occur. People older than 50 and immunocompromised individuals are at higher risk for severe illness from West Nile Virus.

The first West Nile virus positive results in 2014 were a positive bird in Henry County collected on May 29, 2014, and a positive mosquito batch in Madison County collected on May 30, 2014. Last year, 50 counties in Illinois reported a West Nile virus positive mosquito batch, bird and/or human case. For the 2014 season, IDPH reported 44 human cases (although human cases are underreported), including four deaths. No human cases of West Nile virus have been reported so far this year.

As temperatures continue to 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. n 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

countermeasure enforcement patrols

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 all sources of standing water where mosquitoes can breed, such as old tires, buckets and other receptacles, or refresh the water in bird baths, flowerpots and wading pools every couple days. n 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. n 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 dph. illinois.gov and navigating to the topic services tab for diseases and conditions.

Captain Joseph Kollins, District 18 Commander, has the Illinois State Police (ISP) will conduct Alcohol Countermeasure Enforcement (ACE) patrols during the month of June.

The ACE patrols allow the ISP to target an area with saturation patrols that focus on preventing, detecting, and taking enforcement action in response to violations associated with impaired driving and illegal transportation or consumption of alcohol and other drugs.

Across the country, an average of one alcohol-

related traffic death occurs every 51 minutes. Alcohol and drug impairment remain significant factors in nearly 40 percent of all fatal motor vehicle crashes in Illinois.

Each year in Illinois, hundreds of lives are lost in alcohol-related crashes.

Don’t risk losing your license, your car, and your freedom. If you drive impaired, law enforcement will arrest you.

This project is funded by the Illinois Department of Transportation, Division of Traffic Safety.

The Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH) has confirmed the first West Nile virus positive mosquito batch reported in Illinois for 2015. St. Clair County Health Department employees collected a positive mosquito batch May 26 in O’Fallon.

“West Nile virus activity is largely dependent on the weather and with the increased temperatures we’ve been seeing in Southern Illinois, mosquitoes carrying West Nile virus are becoming active,” said IDPH Director Nirav D. Shah, M.D., J.D. Surveillance for West Nile virus in Illinois includes laboratory tests on mosquito batches, dead crows, blue jays, robins and other perching birds, as well as testing sick horses and humans with West Nile virus-like symptoms. People who observe a sick or dying crow, blue jay, robin or other perching bird should contact their local health department, which will determine if the bird will be picked up for testing.

West Nile virus is transmitted through the bite of a mosquito that has picked up the virus by feeding on an infected bird.

Common symptoms include fever, nausea, headache and muscle aches.

Symptoms may last from a few days to a few weeks. However, four out of five peo-

Grace Baalman delivers a pitch in the state championship game Saturday against Somonauk. Baalman led Calhoun to a 4-1 victory.

Calhoun captures state title

By KORY CARPENTER Jersey County Journal The Calhoun softball team capped off an impressive season with a Class 1A state championship Saturday in East Peoria.

Calhoun met Somonauk, which had lost just once since April 2, in the Class 1A title game Saturday afternoon.

And heeding the advice of her coach, Grace Baalman decided to put the Lady Warriors on the board early with a two-run home run over the centerfield fence.

Somonauk head coach Scott Siuda did not second-guess his decision.

“We were going to challenge her,” Siuda said.

“You never know, they can strike out too. I called an outside pitch and she reached out and got it.”

Baalman went to the mound and retired the first three Somonauk hitters in order, and the Calhoun

fans began to sense something special was within reach.

But the second inning proved Baalman was mortal after all.

Somonauk freshman Taylor Fall smacked a triple to the right-center gap and scored on a passedball during the next at-bat, ending Baalman’s streak of 95 straight scoreless innings.

“I wasn’t really thinking during that at-bat and I had a feeling that it wasn’t going to go good,” Baalman said, admitting the lack of focus was something that does not happen very often. “And after that I knew I had to buckle back down and settle in.”

Settle in she did, striking out eight consecutive Somonauk batters and retiring 10 straight overall.

In the seventh inning, as Somonauk’s season was dwindling and Baalman the pitcher was in com-

plete control, Baalman the hitter put an exclamation point on her season.

After sending multiple Nicole Krupp pitches over the fence but foul, Baalman squared a pitch up and hit a solo home run over the left-field fence to give Calhoun a decisive 4-1 lead.

“I was very surprised at the time,” Matt Baalman said after Somonauk pitched to Grace in the first inning. “But I was really surprised the last time. You are down 3-1 so why pitch to her? But every coach has a different philosophy and they don’t know Grace like I know Grace.”

Somonauk loaded the bases in the bottom of the seventh but Baalman’s 18th strikeout of the game sent the Calhoun players and fans into a frenzy.

Calhoun’s 33rd victory of the season made them Class 1A state champions.

“I don’t know if it has

sunk in yet,” Grace said after the game. “But I’m just so happy right now.”

City of Jerseyville, IL Water Quality Report – 2015 January 01 to December 31, 2014 This year, as in the past, The City of Jerseyville has continued to monitor your drinking water as required by the USEPA and State drinking water health standards. Our system vigilantly safeguards its groundwater supply, and we have prepared this report detailing were your water comes from and how it compares to standards set by regulatory agencies. We are committed to providing you with this information because well informed customers are our best allies.

If you have any questions about this report or concerning your water system, please contact Mr. Robert Kincade at (618) 498-3312 or Water Treatment Plant at (618) 376-4946.

We want our valued customers to be informed about their water quality. If you would like to learn more, please feel welcome to attend any of our regularly scheduled City Council Meetings at 6:00 PM, every other Tuesday at the City Municipal Building, 115 East Prairie Street. Please call City Hall for a list of scheduled meetings.

Jerseyville uses ground water provided by one of or a combination of

three wells drilled into the Illinois River Valley aquifer.

An aquifer is a geological formation that contains water.

Well #1 is located in the well field near Nutwood, IL. Well #2 is located 700 feet West of Well #1. Well #3 is a new well installed in 1994 and located 700 feet South of Well #2. Wells #1, #2 and #3 can supply water at a rate of 1600 GPM to our Treatment Facility.

A source water assessment completed in 2003 by the Illinois EPA identifies the following as potentials for sources of contamination. City owned Emergency Generator and fuel storage tank for the generator. Non point source contamination due to agricultural of the surrounding land.

The City Water Department has source water tested at required time intervals for possible contaminates.

Efforts to protect our source water including a 1000 feet setback and farmer awareness programs are in effect to reduce the potential for source water contamination. In 2011, Jerseyville received a Non-Compliance Advisory

(NCA) for bacteriological detections in Well #3. Maintenance at this sample location served to remedy this issue.

While the NCA has been resolved at this time, monthly monitoring data is continually being tracked in regards to all active potable wells at the facility; further deficiencies would result in additional enforcement.

Some people may be more vulnerable to contaminants in drinking water than the general population.

Immuno-compromised persons such as persons with cancer undergoing chemotherapy, persons who have undergone organ transplants, people with HIV/AIDS or other immune system disorders, some elderly people, and infants can be at particularly at risk from infections. These people should seek advice about drinking water from their health care providers. USEPA/CDC guidelines on appropriate means to lessen the risk of infection by cryptosporidium and other microbial contaminants are available from the USEPA’s Safe Drinking Water Hotline (1-800-426-4791).

Drinking water, including bottled

water, may reasonably be expected to contain at least small amounts of some contaminants. The presence of contaminants does not necessarily indicate that the water poses a health risk. More information about contaminants and potential health effects can be obtained by calling the USEPA’s Safe Drinking Water Hotline (1-800426-4791).

If present, elevated levels of lead can cause serious health problems, especially for pregnant women and young children. Lead in drinking water is primarily from materials and components associated with service lines and home plumbing. We cannot control the variety of materials used in home plumbing components. When your water has been sitting for several hours, you can minimize the potential for lead exposure by flushing your tap for 30 seconds to 2 minutes before using water for drinking or cooking. If you are concerned about lead in your water, you may wish to have your water tested. Information on lead in drinking water, testing methods, and steps you can take is available from the Safe

Drinking Water Hotline or at http:// www.epa.gov/safewater/lead.

The sources of drinking water (both tap and bottled) include rivers, lakes, streams, ponds, reservoirs, springs and wells. As water travels over the surface of the land or through the ground, it can dissolve naturally occurring minerals and radioactive materials, and pick up substances resulting from the presence of animals or human activity. Possible contaminants consist of: Microbial contaminants, such as viruses and bacteria which may come from sewage treatment plants, septic systems, agricultural livestock operations and wildlife; Inorganic contaminants, such as salts and metals, which may be naturally occurring or result from urban storm water runoff, industrial or domestic wastewater discharges, oil and gas production, mining or farming; Pesticides and herbicides, which may come a variety of sources such as agriculture, urban storm water runoff and residential uses; Organic chemical contaminants,

including synthetic and volatile organic chemicals, which are by-products of industrial processes and petroleum production, and may also come from gas stations, urban storm water runoff and septic systems; and Radioactive contaminants, which may be naturally occurring or be the result of oil and gas production and mining activities.

In order to ensure that tap water is safe to drink, USEPA prescribes regulations that limit the amount of certain contaminants in water provided by public water systems. FDA regulations establish limits for contaminants in bottled water, which must provide the same protection for public health.

Attached are tables containing test results on the water, source and finished, provided to our customers.

These tables will give you a better picture of the contaminants that we test for and the levels of each that were detected. There were several contaminants that were tested for and were not detected; these contaminants are listed in the tables for your information.

Snap fitness remodels, reopens

By BOB CROSSEN Jersey County Journal After finding its way under corporate sponsorship last year, Snap Fitness in Jerseyville has updated its offerings to provide variety and convenience.

Matt Darr, club manager, said the most notable update is the fitness on demand center, where club members can receive interactive workouts in a multitude of categories.

“It’s a really nice, innovative, interactive workout system that we utilize at Snap Fitness at a corporate level to really create an opportunity for people to come in and workout when they want to,” Darr said. “There’s all kinds of classes they can utilize on that program to really walk into this room and work out along with it.”

Members, he said, will choose an option – from categories including cardio, dance and cycling, among others – before

entering the room and follow along with the video on screen.

The room boasts some

"Snap Fitness is here to stay, and we’re excited to stay here in Jerseyville."

Matt Darr Snap Fitness club manager

new equipment, he said, but the rest of the business also received a facelift. New flooring lays at the feet of members and instructors, and on the walls a fresh swath of paint were part of Darr’s goal to improve the center.

Those improvements came with a new model for Snap Fitness, which has a greater focus on a person’s results based on milestones they set for themselves.

“We’re really more all about results now. That’s kind of what this new dynamic has brought,” Darr said. “It’s about seeing people achieve their goals.”

The fitness on demand center, he said, freed up space at the gym to provide more personal training options, which also falls in line with the business’ goal to focus on a person’s results and progress.

Those interested in joining Snap Fitness can contact the club by phone at 618-498-7330 or visit during regular business hours to see what the gym has to offer.

To celebrate the remodeling, Snap Fitness will have a grand reopening event June 15 starting at 4:30 p.m. with a ribbon-cutting ceremony

at 5 p.m.

Darr said he hopes the reopening will send a positive message to area residents.

“Snap Fitness is here to stay, and we’re excited to stay here in Jerseyville,” Darr said.

What is clean eating all about?

Clean eating is a growing trend among people focused on health and wellness. A relatively simple concept of selecting foods that are minimally processed, clean eating intends to instill a greater understanding of the pathway between a food's origins and the final products that end up on grocery store shelves and dinner tables.

Choosing whole or "real" foods that are as close to their natural forms as possible is a staple of clean eating. The availability of convenience food products has never been greater, and not all packaged foods are unhealthy. But clean eating encourages consumers to be more aware of the ingredients in the foods they eat while selecting those foods that are minimally processed. Many foods designated as "clean," including vegetables and fruits, whole grains, free-range meats, low-fat dairy products, unsalted nuts, and whole seeds, are straight from the farm.

Another component of clean eating is eliminating or greatly reducing the consumption of refined sugar. Many health experts advise that refined sugar is a large contributor to unnecessary calories. Many people can get all the energy they need by consuming foods with natural sugars.

If an ingredient list includes names you cannot recognize or if the natural form of the food has been changed (i.e. removing the bran from whole grains), it cannot be included in a cleaneating plan. Also, foods that have a lot of additives, including salt, sugar and fat, are not classified as clean.

Jessica Fanzo, assistant professor of nutrition at Columbia University, advises that not all food processing is bad. Processing is sometimes necessary to prevent pathogens that can lead to illness.

The benefits to clean eating are numerous. Increasing intake of fruits and vegetables can boost your immune system and serve as a nutritious way to maintain a healthy weight.

Clean eating may help you

become more conscious of everything from meal ingredients to portion sizes.

Those interested in clean eating can begin slowly. Start to introduce more fresh fruits, vegetables, legumes, nuts, and farm-fresh foods into your diet.

Look for foods in their natural form, such as whole oats and other grains. Avoid highly refined ingredients and limit

sugar and salt intake. Opt for fresh herbs and spices to season food. Over time you can make other changes.

Adopting a clean-eating approach to their diet is a great way for men and women to start living healthy lifestyles.

Speak with a doctor or nutritionist about healthy and effective ways to transition to clean eating.

There was a time in life when Dad & Mom made all the decisions and Life was good.

Now the page has turned, and Dad needs a little help.

His apartment will be private. He can bring his vehicle and family pet, and he can live independently as an active 65+ senior.

Make the right move so that Dad can enjoy the independence Jerseyville Estates offers!

Drunk driving legislation sent to governor and Illinois Sens. Steve Stadelman, D-Rockford, and Jason Barickman, R-Bloomington, contains the following measures: n Add a signature line to the Warning to Motorists form which the driver would be required to sign.

If the driver refuses, the law enforcement officer would indicate “refused to sign.” n Eliminate 30-day hard time for all offenders, as well as 12/36 month hard time statutory summary suspension and one-year DUI conviction hard time for repeat offenders, provided a BAIID is installed in their vehicles. n Require BAIID if a person is convicted of driving on a revoked license, which was the result of a fatality. n Require BAIID if an offender has any combination of two or more DUI/reckless homicide convictions or statutory summary suspensions.

(Currently, BAIID is required only if offenses occurred within a 10-year period). vRequire BAIID on a first DUI conviction that results in great bodily harm or permanent disability or disfigurement.

Illinois State Police (ISP) District 18 Commander, Captain Joseph Kollins announced that District 18 Troopers will conduct Occupant Restraint Enforcement Patrols (OREP) during the month of June.

OREP allows the ISP to target an area with saturation patrols that focus on traffic violations and related compliance with safety belt and child safety seat laws.

Safety belt enforcement zones will also be set up to ensure the driver and passengers are buckled up. Illinois law requires all vehicle passengers (front and back) to be buckled up!

Safety belts are one of the most effective safety devices in vehicles today, estimated to save over 12,000 lives each year. Over half of vehicle occupants killed in a traffic crash were not properly buckled up. The objective of this program is to increase compliance of occupant restraint laws through education, child seat inspections, and enforcement. Greater awareness, acceptance, and use of occupant protection equipment will save many lives. This project is funded through the Illinois Department of Transportation, Division of Traffic Safety.

The following students achieved perfect attendance for the Jersey CUSD No. 100 2014-2015 school year.

Legislation initiated by Illinois Secretary of State Jesse White strengthening the state’s DUI laws was approved by the Illinois State Senate. The bill now goes to the governor for consideration.

Senate Bill 627 contains five measures designed to increase participation in the state’s Breath Alcohol Ignition Interlock Device (BAIID) program.

The proposals, which originate from White’s Advisory Committee on Traffic Safety, are supported

by Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) and the Alliance Against Intoxicated Motorists (AAIM).

“My mission as Secretary of State is to make the roads of Illinois the safest ever,” White said. “This legislation will further strengthen our state’s DUI laws, which will make our roads safer and save lives. Although Illinois recently received the highest rating possible for our efforts to fight drunk driving, five stars from MADD, I refuse to grow complacent.”

The legislation, which was sponsored by state Rep. John D’Amico, D-Chicago,
