llinois to make vaccines readily available for low-income children

By KYLE CUNNINGHAM Jersey County Journal In its ongoing commitment to increasing vaccination rates across the state, Governor J.B. Pritzker, along with his administration, is taking action to make vaccines more easily available for low-income children.

The Illinois Department of Healthcare and Family Services (HFS) and the Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH) are announcing the availability of vaccines for children covered under the Children’s Health Insurance Plan (CHIP) through the Vaccines for Children (VFC) program. Ordering vaccines for CHIP-eligible children, (a partnership between federal and state governments that provides low cost health coverage to children in families that earn too much money to qualify for Medicaid), through the VFC program will increase the number of providers for these vital services and help ensure vaccines are more readily available for lowincome vaccines.

This effort to ensure vaccinations for those children whose families cannot pay for them, is a reversal of a piece of legislature passed by former Gov. Bruce Rauner in 2016 that made it harder for those in need to receive vaccinations. The Rauner administration then decided to require health providers to pay for vaccines for CHIP enrollees up front and wait for reimbursement from the state or private insurance companies.

The recent push for this program coincides with the recent uptick in measles cases across the country.

According to IDPH Director Dr. Ngozi Ezike, the U.S. is currently seeing the greatest number of measles cases

Fatal motorcycle accident claims life on Otterville Road

With easier access to vaccines, the goal is to vaccinate every child in Illinois.

since 1992, despite the fact that measles were declared eliminated in 2000.

“Illinois is committed to every child being vaccinated,” IDPH Director Dr. Ngozi Ezike said. “Vaccination is in the safest and most effective way to help prevent measles cases and outbreaks, and we are continuing to take aggressive action to ensure that all children continue to have access to vaccines.”

Since the new administration’s inception, the HFS and IDPH have been working together to rejoin the programs and increase provider participation to make sure all children in the state who need vaccinations will be able to receive them.

“We see the program expanding as a great benefit, because it makes it easier for children to receive vaccines,” Becky Shipley,

Maternal Child Health Supervisor at the Jersey County Health Department said.

This program will allow providers to obtain vaccines for CHIP children through the VFC program without having to buy vaccines from private sources at market cost and be reimbursed later.

As more physician practices, health centers, health departments and other providers across the state transition into the program, children covered by CHIP will also be able to get their CDC recommended vaccines in their medical home.

With easier access to vaccines for children covered under CHIP, and increased measures to track vaccines administered, the goal is to vaccinate every child in Illinois and eliminate any discrepancies in vaccination tracking and reimbursement.

Veterinary association warns about pets ingesting marijuana With legalization looming, edibles should be kept away from dogs

BY JERRY NOWICKI Capitol News Illinois With legalization of adultuse marijuana set to begin Jan. 1 in Illinois, the American Veterinary Medical Association is warning residents of the dangers marijuana ingestion can cause their pets.

“We’ve seen a marked increase in any state that has legalized marijuana, where there’s been a huge spike in the amount of cases of animals coming into veterinary hospitals, clearly under the effects of marijuana,” said Dr. John de Jong, president of the AVMA. De Jong said THC, the psychoactive substance in marijuana, is toxic to dogs. The

AVMA said an animal’s ingestion of THC can cause vomiting, incoordination, depression, sleepiness or excitation, low blood pressure, low body temperature and seizures.

Edible products, which will become legal in Illinois Jan. 1 as well, serve a particular risk. That’s because they are often mixed with other products such as chocolate or other complex sugars which are also poisonous to dogs.

“So when the animal has consumed marijuana products that have been mixed with other things that might also be toxic to dogs, then suddenly the risks are increased considerably,” de Jong said.

De Jong said he was not aware of any immediate deaths of animals caused by marijuana ingestion, but the toxicity of THC to dogs could cause serious damage.

“If they got enough of it (THC), it could probably (See, PETS, A3)

Rural pharmacies to receive financial help from state State begins implementing $10 million Critical Access Care Pharmacy Program

By PETER HANCOCK Capitol News Illinois Independent pharmacies that serve Medicaid patients in small communities in Illinois will soon start receiving additional payments from the state.

The Department of Healthcare and Family Services confirmed Monday that it has begun implementing a program lawmakers established in 2018 known as the Critical Access Care Pharmacy Program, which provides up to $10 million a year in additional reimbursements for independent, brick and mortar pharmacies located in counties with fewer than 50,000 people.

Under the program, qualifying pharmacies receive quarterly payments from the state, based on the number of prescriptions they fill that are reimbursed by the state’s Medicaid program.

A spokesperson for DHFS said Monday the agency does not have data reflecting how many Illinois pharmacies qualify for the program.

The program was included as part of the budget package that lawmakers approved during the 2018

session. It will be funded for a second year in the budget that takes effect July 1.

“This administration worked aggressively to launch this vital program as rapidly as possible, and we are pleased to help support local pharmacies that are so often critical to our members and to communities throughout Illinois,” said John Hoffman, DHFS director of communications and public affairs.

State Sen. Andy Manar, D-Bunker Hill, who pushed for funding of the program, said in a statement Monday that the program is intended to help small, independent pharmacies in small towns stay in business.

“This funding is going to be a major boost for rural pharmacies and will help keep them open while we find ways to combat the rising cost of prescription drugs,” he said. “I’m glad to see that we’re finally leaving the gridlock of the past behind and bringing this needed program to communities that are at risk of losing their local pharmacies.”

Manar was the lead Senate sponsor of another bill this year, House Bill 465, that he said is intended to help independent pharmacies compete with larger retail chain pharmacies.

That bill, which passed both chambers and is awaiting Gov. J.B. Pritzker’s signature, would bring pharmacy benefit managers, or PBMs, under regulation by the Illinois Department of

Insurance.

PBMs are companies that negotiate drug prices on behalf of health insurance plans, often resulting in steep discounts that only large chain pharmacies can afford to provide.

Lawmakers considered several other bills this session that were aimed at addressing the rising cost of prescription drugs, none of which made it through the General Assembly.

House Bill 2880, sponsored by Rep. Will Guzzardi, D-Chicago, would have imposed a tax on prescription drugs whenever their prices rose more than the rate of inflation. It was never reported out of its committee.

House Bill 3493, also sponsored by Guzzardi, would have established a state board to regulate prescription drug prices in Illinois. It also failed to come out of committee.

House Bill 156, sponsored by Rep. Mary Flowers, D-Chicago, would have required insurance companies to report certain prescription drug pricing and spending information to the Department of Public Health. It passed out of the House but died in the Senate.

And House Bill 1441, filed by Rep. Anna Moeller, D-Elgin, would have authorized a program through which the state of Illinois could import prescription drugs from licensed, regulated Canadian suppliers.

The bill stalled in its committee.

Portion of Route 100 closed for repairs

By KYLE CUNNINGHAM Jersey County Journal Although flood waters have receded enough to open all major roads within Calhoun County, one of those thruways was severely damaged due to high water.

Route 100 south of Michael will be closed from approximately Tuesday morning until at least Thursday to repair a section of buckling pavement. The closure, like many in the past several months, will once again inconvenience drivers by adding on additional time to reach their destination due to having to seek an alternate route.

“There are some deterioration because people are driving flood routes on county roads because of the main roads,”

“If they got into THC, you may, depending on how soon the animal presents after being exposed, you may want to induce vomiting, or use activated charcoal to try and find anything that’s in their stomach. Otherwise, you’ve got to ride it out and give them supportive care,” he said.

If a pet does show signs of marijuana toxicity – such as rigidness, nervousness, poor balance, seizures, drooling or dribbling urine – de Jong said a veterinarian should be contacted as quickly as possible.

De Jong said smoking in the same room as a pet could be dangerous as well, although the evidence of ambient smoke affecting pets is more anecdotal. The AVMA said marijuana smokers should do so away from pets, and any edibles should be kept secure and inaccessible to pets.

“We’re more concerned,

especially with dogs, about the ingestion of marijuana,” he said.

ue to be a monumental effort. Many homes and businesses have been impacted severely throughout the county and will require extensive repairs.

Baptist Ministries will be in charge of most of the cleaning when it comes to flood damaged properties.

“They are cleaning out flood damaged houses and remediating mold,” Breden said.

“They are doing the majority of the work.”

Much like the inaccessibility of the bridge, cleanup will also take about six months until the county returns to normal.

Cleanup of roadways has been a fairly easy process due to the efficient removal of trash and debris left by the water.

“It wasn’t too bad,” Breden said in reference to debris on roadways.

According to Breden, the highway department was able to use snow plows to scoop up any foreign objects left behind.

Despite being the only road closing due to disrepair many of the county’s back roads are seeing significant signs of wear and tear.

“There is some deterioration because people are driving flood routes on county roads because of the main roads,” Calhoun County ESDA Coordinator Gene Breden said. “Some roads will definitely need repaired.”

As far as the county as a whole, all roads have been opened for travel. The major setback that will continue to disrupt the citizens of the county, however is the closure the Joe Page Bridge which is expected to remained close for the foreseeable future by the Corps of Engineers.

“The bridge should be open in six months, but the Corps of Engineers haven’t told us anything yet,” Breden said.

De Jong said in 2019 the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals’ poison control center reported a 765-percent increase in calls about marijuana ingestion by animals over the same period the previous year. Calls to the Pet Poison Helpline soared over 400 percent in the past six years.

In Colorado, veterinary visits for marijuana ingestion at two animal hospitals quadrupled from 2005 to 2010, de Jong said. During that time, the state’s active medical marijuana registrations increased by more than 100 percent.

De Jong said the process of treating a pet for marijuana consumption is “supportive care,” although more intensive medical intervention can

n spite of the heat, State Street was once again packed with community members celebrating the return of the fair by attending the parade.

For many residents, the parade is the official fair kick off, when community members line up to welcome the event and everyone associated with it back to the fairgrounds. It’s plain to see that Jersey County treasures the fair, and all it represents for citizens.

While different generations may have different memories associated with the fair, it provides families an opportunity to come together and explore the things that make Jersey County great.

Whether celebrating agricultural traditions with the 4-H shows and tractor pulls or reconnecting with neighbors and classmates, families have the chance to connect over old memories of the fair (like years when attendance was so high fairgoers were shuttled to and from the high school parking lot) and make new ones.

New to Jersey County this year is the Ninja Experience and several other free shows booked to dazzle the younger crowd with a little bit of fair magic. Old favorites like the demolition derby, fair food and livestock shows will be around, too.

So regardless of whether residents are attending the fair to watch the tractor pulls, ride their favorite carnival rides, eat a funnel cake or show a sheep, the fair offers something for everyone.

Most importantly, it offers us a chance to remember why something so simple has always been so special.

So take a few hours this week and head up to the fair. You don’t have to stay all day, but who knows? You might just run into someone you haven’t seen in a while and be transported back to a time when you would’ve stayed all week if you could.

Fireworks and a Spider I

watched the Fourth of July fireworks last night from my bedroom window.

My window in my spare bedroom faces northwest, which makes it fairly easy for me to view Jerseyville’s Fourth of July fireworks display. Turn off the light, pull the curtain back, and Walla! Instant gratification. Now, I must clarify. I can only see the fireworks that are high, not the low ones, so I don’t see everything. Mostly in between the beautiful high ones, I watched a spider.

That was my entertainment. And what a show it was!

The spider was Huge! And ugly. He was living outside on my window, quite unwelcomed, but there he was, and there I was, so we were stuck with each other. Basically, that night, it was me and the spider. At least I had someone to watch the fireworks with me. Not that a hungry spider is a welcome companion, but, he did provide an hour’s worth of free entertainment.

He was a busy and a very feisty spider.

There was a huge bug (bigger than the spider and a lot uglier) that was trying its best to get inside the window. Not a very smart move with the spider watching from his perch above. That bug heeded the spider like a toad heeds a truck. He kept flying around the window with the spider in hot pursuit. It was like a dinner theater with the spider cast as the hero. One look at the size of that bug, and I was on the spider’s side, saying, “Get him! Get him!” In between the colorful splashes of color lighting up the night sky, I watched the spider track, seek, and try to capture that bug! He would not give up! He tried, and the bug would slip away, and then, after a pause, he tried again!

I was in awe of that spider’s tenacity.

Now, that’s a gutsy spider!

Soon, I was paying more attention to the spider than I was the fireworks.

I watched the spider crawl all over that window, winding himself down on his thread, then, turning around, and yanking himself back up, only to try again a few seconds later. He did catch something—I couldn’t see what it was. He scrambled back up just in time to wrap up his supper in a thread and administer the lethal bite. Then, it was back

to chasing Guest Column that ornery

BY HEIDI MOORE bug! Twice he nearly had the bug in his clutches, but, the bug being bigger and a lot ornerier than the spider, was able to escape the trap and continue his futile flight against the window glass seeking entrance.

With the bug outside, I was very glad the spider was on patrol!

As I stood at the window, watching the fireworks burst in the sky, I watched the spider being busy—and he was very busy that night. Due to the street light outside, that spider had a wealth of insects to dine on. I don’t think he even registered the pretty lights lighting up the Jerseyville sky. He may have felt the boom from the explosions, but, if he did, it made little difference to his unseemly dinner plans.

As for the bug, if it survived, it flew away into the night none the wiser of the spider that was trying to capture it. Bugs don’t really notice much. This fact is great for the spider and bad for the bug.

Spiders are unusual to say the least.

I’m very glad that my spider is comparatively tiny compared to a tarantula. Tiny spiders and brown recluses I can deal with.

Tarantulas, no. But, that doesn’t mean I’m not interested in spiders. Not to the point that I want to study them up close or own one as a pet, but I do think they provide a very effective and cost friendly service to us that sadly we humans cannot do without.

With the fireworks over, I closed the curtain, and shut off the bedroom light. I left the spider to his dinner plans and that ornery bug he could not quite seem to capture. He was too busy to notice me, the curtain, or anything else. He was focused on one thing: dinner. I left him outside the window and went to bed.

Watching him made my Fourth of July fireworks experience interesting.

What made yours?

When voters lose T

his past week wasn’t a good one for democracy. The U.S. Supreme Court ruled that it’s just fine with partisan gerrymandering.

In fact, in its 5-4 decision, it went so far as to say that federal courts have no business intervening if Republicans or Democrats unfairly draw legislative boundaries. It doesn’t get any more boneheaded than this.

After all, more often than not, when we step into the voting booth, we have no choice in candidates. Back in 2016, I asked Ballotpedia to analyze 2016 Illinois election filing data. The organization found that in 67 percent of Illinois legislative districts the candidate, usually an incumbent, was unopposed.

Yes, you read that right. More than twothirds of the time, voters have only one legislative candidate to “choose” from. And in the remaining one-third of districts, the opposition is usually nominal. Candidates don’t run because they know a person of their political party can’t win in the district where they live.

In Illinois, this process of gerrymandering benefits Democrats. On the federal level, it tends to benefit Republicans. But the group that most certainly doesn’t benefit is voters.

Gerrymandering is almost as old as the republic itself. Once upon a time, politicians would sit in smoke-filled rooms with pencils and maps and draw boundaries to their advantage.

But now the process is far more sophisticated with computer programs using complex mathematical formulas and personal data on individual voters to predict voting behavior.

“Now you can essentially program an algorithm and have it produce 3,000 different maps in a matter of minutes and you can learn so much about someone with it out on the internet. You can get down to the block level and figure out someone’s voting patterns over the years,” said Madeleine Doubek, executive director of Change Illinois, a group

that advocates for non-partisan Guest Column maps in the Land BY SCOTT REEDER of Lincoln.

As Republicans captured state legislatures around the country, they have been the primary beneficiaries. Aided by sophisticated software, they have drawn oddly shaped voting districts to favor their party’s candidates.

For example, after the 2010 census Republicans drew the map in North Carolina.

Even though the popular vote is nearly evenly divided between the two political parties, Republicans hold 10 of state’s 13 Congressional seats.

In Illinois, the story is much the same, only the Democrats have drawn the legislative districts to their advantage. Doubek said even though there is strong support for nonpartisan maps among rank-and-file lawmakers, legislative leaders such as House Speaker Mike Madigan will determine whether the reforms are ever voted upon.

It’s a tough sell.

After all, Madigan is a master of the dark art of drawing legislative district boundaries to ensure that he hangs onto a Democratic majority in the House -- and his hold on power.

For decades, he and his minions have drawn legislative districts so craftily that in most races it’s a foregone conclusion which party will represent a given area. When districts are drawn in this manner, lawmakers shift their allegiances from the voters to the mapmaker. That is not good for a democracy.

Accountability to the voters is supposed to be the cornerstone of our system of government. With Supreme Court decisions such as this one, our society suffers.

After all, in a democracy, voters should decide.

News items from the pages of Jersey County Journal

5 Years Ago July 9, 2014 The Jersey County Board approved a letter of support for Scientific Growers Incorporated, a company vying for an Illinois medical marijuana cultivation license, in a 9-to-1 vote during a regular board meeting Tuesday.

All board members present voted in favor of the letter of support except Roger Newberry, who voted No. Chairman Jerry Wittman and Mary Kirbach were not present to vote.

The cultivation center would grow the marijuana plants, but would not sell to the public. Instead it would sell the plants at wholesale to distribution centers, which would then sell the medical marijuana to patients with doctorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s authorization. The state law regarding cultivation centers allows only one center for each Illinois State Police District, and Scientific Growers Incorporated is seeking the license for District 18, in which Jersey County falls.

Nearly all Graftonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s local businesses are open, despite water that continues to rise faster than initially predicted by the National Weather Service at the confluence of the Illinois and Mississippi rivers near Grafton. As of 9 a.m. July 9, the water level in Grafton was at 24.93 feet, nearly one foot higher than the level at which Illinois Route 100 begins to flood at Chautuaqua and Elsah.

However, Chris Sullivan, Grafton police chief, said the city made one minor detour on West Main Street near Evans Street due to the rising water, and noted that vehicle traffic should not have trouble making it through the riverside town. The Hawg Pit, a restaurant in Grafton, closed down temporarily due to the high water, but other businesses along the

riverfront are not expected to close, Sullivan said.

10 Years Ago July 8, 2014 Folks from all over are expected to descend upon Jersey County as the 140th annual Jersey County Fair will be going on from Saturday, July 11 through Sunday, July 19 at the American Legion Park in Jerseyville.

For nine days, fairgoers can enjoy unique shows, great entertainment, carnival rides, games and fair food galore. Fair Board President Phil Ringhausen said there is a little something for everyone, but the event that seems to be the talk of the town is the scheduled appearance of Jesse James. Jesse James, a custom bike designer and owner of the world famous West Coast Choppers in Long Beach, Calif., and also the star of Spikeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Jesse James is a Dead Man will make a special appearance on Friday, July 17, to meet the crowds, sign autographs and show his line of industrial workwear clothing.

The goodwill and sense of camaraderie has been spreading around Grafton like the cold would during the winter months. In only a few weeks of letting residents know of openings on various city committees, over 10 percent of Graftonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s residents have volunteered to serve on a committee. In addition, many more have given up their time to help work on the ball field and other projects in the city. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was surprised (at the positive response),â&#x20AC;? Grafton Mayor Tom Thompson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have over 80 people who have volunteered. I fully expect before this is over, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have probably 90 people. If you went out and talk to the people there seems to be a positive, rather encouraging atmosphere in town.
