Cases of COVID have doubled since previous months

By CYNTHIA HAGGITT Jersey County Journal Jersey County is still experiencing COVID cases and cases have gone up in the previous months according to the Jersey County Health Department.

“We are seeing a rise in cases in Jersey County as our cases have doubled this month compared to last month,” Communicable Disease/Emergency Preparedness Coordinator Heidi Carter said. “We are seeing an increase in cases reported. We had 19 cases reported in June and as of July 23, we have had 43 cases reported for the month of July,” Carter said.

coughing and sneezing.

How long someone is actively sick can vary so the decision on when to release someone from isolation is made on a case-by-case basis. It is mostly in consultation with a personal doctor, the infection prevention and control experts, and public health officials. It also involves considering specifics of each situation, including disease severity, illness signs and symptoms, and results of laboratory testing for that patient.

“Complications can occur after a vaccination.The most common reaction from the vaccine is a local reaction at the injection site such as soreness, redness and swelling at the injection site. Other common side effects are tiredness, muscle aches, headache or fever,” Carter said.

According to the State of Illinois Response Rate’s website- These symptoms do not mean you have COVID-19 — it’s not possible to get COVID-19 from the vaccine.

These side effects may impact your daily activities, but they shouldn’t last more than 2-3 days. If they continue or get worse, call your doctor, nurse or clinic. Even if you have these types of effects after your first shot, it’s important to make sure you get the second one, unless a vaccination provider or your doctor tells you not to get a second shot or you get the vaccine that only requires one dose. Ask your doctor if you have questions. Your body takes time to build immunity. You will not be fully protected against COVID19 until 1-2 weeks after your final shot.

New supplement store opens in Jerseyville

By HALEY DISTERHOFT Jersey County Journal Among the new businesses that have emerged in downtown Jerseyville, a new supplement store sporting the moniker “The Lab” opened on the first of July. Logan Ross, 24, and Ryan Kleeman, 23, opened up the store, which shares another location in Carlinville.

“He started this business 4 or 5 years ago, himself, and just basically brought me on board,” Ross said of Kleeman.

Kleeman has been in the supplement business since he was 18 and Ross has also had a long history working in the business, managing and running different supplement shops in the last several years.

Ross decided he wanted to branch out on his own and reached out to Kleeman to open a new store together.

After some research, the two business partners decided Jerseyville was a good fit for them.

“I’m originally from Jerseyville and I own a gym in White Hall. He owns a supplement shop, The Lab, in Carlinville, and we were just looking for these small communities that don’t have a nutrition store, healthy options... so we looked up Jerseyville and found it on the map and that’s why we decided to come here,” Ross said.

Ross is pleased that residents of Jerseyville are eager to shop at the new supplement store.

“We’re getting a lot of foot traffic from the town, instead of it just being family and friends, a lot of new foot traffic coming in, which is awesome,” Ross said.

Currently, the Lab only offers supplements but Ross

alluded to potentially installing a smoothie bar in the future.

Not only have customers been friendly and welcoming, Ross says he’s happy to see other businesses welcome them to the Jerseyville business community.

“We feel very welcomed. A lot of these smaller, local businesses have reached out to us and stopped in and congratulated us and are happy to have us here,” Ross said.

Ross added that he and Kleeman plan on expanding their business in the future, hoping to open three to four new locations in Illinois. The Lab in Jerseyville is open Mon. through Fri. from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m.

By CYNTHIA HAGGITT Jersey County Journal The Jersey County Board held their monthly meeting on July 14 at 7 p.m.

The board opened the meeting for public comment, at which time Gary Schaefer approached the board.

“My concern tonight is in regard to the closure of the Delhi-Brighton road and Rangeline road,” Schaefer said. “I live down in that area, and the road needs to be closed.

“I consider major roads for District 4 for the county and would like the county to try putting some pressure on the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) regarding the issue,” Schaefer continued. “I think it is unacceptable for safety reasons that they didn’t close [Route] 67 and had to direct traffic around through Brighton, and then through Route 16.”

County board member Gary Krueger replied to the public comment made by Schaefer.

“The only thing I have to add is after our township meeting Monday night, I was made aware that a lot of the traffic is diverted through Van Horn Lane, which is the old gravel road,” Krueger said. “Kevin split quite a bit of rock on it. It’s all pretty well gone and so your driving abilities are not good.”

Krueger mentioned that Mississippi Township has a dirt road that he will be contacting someone with the state regarding making repairs to it.

The board didn’t make any motion regarding Schaefer’s comment.

Later in the meeting, Crystal Bock with ScheffelBoyle made a presentation regarding the county’s 2020 audit. Anyone desiring information regarding the audit is encouraged to contact the county board secretary’s office.

At the close of the meeting, a resolution of sympathy was passed by the board in honor of Diane Stumpe, who served on the county board from 2002 to 2006.

“She was a former member of the board, generally involved in community life in Jersey County and in her church,” Board Chairman Don Little said. “She was a very good board member and all of us enjoyed serving with her.”

Why use a travel agency during the Pandemic

By CYNTHIA HAGGITT Jersey County Journal Joy Bray is not new to travel. As a matter of fact Bray has over 30 years of experience serving clients as a travel agent. Bray has excelled and been recognized for her efforts by being given accolades of awards at different levels for sales she has had through the 500 club.

Bray started working for Trans World Airlines 10 years ago with a company called Sunbird Travel. Earlier in her career there, she was very successful.

However, when Sept. 11 hit, Bray said her boss decided to close. After a couple of months of not working Bray decided to open her own travel agency and named it Argus Travel.

“The agency’s name is named after her australian dog-Augi,” “Since opening at the Jerseyville location, business has been good. There have been upticks and some lows due to the pandemic,” Bray said. “I am pretty lucky though, for I am the only front travel agency for many miles and people still want to deal with a person when planning their vacations.”

Bray mentioned that her clients and other travelers are wanting information from a trusted source rather than looking to booking on the internet. This need from vacationers has translated into support from a travel advocate who is very familiar with what is happening in the world of travel.

“Nowadays, people are more cautious because of the pandemic and prefer a professional travel agent. They see working with an agent benefits them by keeping them knowledgeable about current information,” Bray said.

The information Bray’s clients are seeking are for what travel destinations have opened and when, what personnel safety guidelines are in place at hotels and which hotels have COVID-19 testing centers on-site for particularly big, expensive trips, and at the same time are looking for professional help with the bookings these days.

Bray said she specializes in air, cruise and tour packages. She has first-hand knowledge of most travel hot spots.

During this time last year, with travel for vacation coming to a halt, there was a shift in place because of the pandemic.

challenges, including the initial effort to address cancelations, refunds and rebooking to her clientele.

“Last year during COVID-19 many people were calling in to change their vacations, cancel them or hold off three or four days to travel to their destination sites,” Bray said. “It was mostly because destination hot spots were shutting down because of the virus spreading into the area. I was on the phone alot and mostly I had to give money back due to the outbreak in the U.S.” Now that travel restrictions have loosened up she has seen a lot of people booking all inclusive trips to destinations such as Punta Cana, Jamaica and Mexico.

“Mexico travel destinations are so beautiful and the resorts take excellent care of you. People really love that and enjoy an all inclusive vacation,” Bray said.

Stateside travel has opened back up as well as many people have been vaccinated.

“Florida continues to be the number one destination for vacations and I have had more calls this year to visit South Carolina,” Bray said. “Cruises, on the other hand, have been slow to book.

before entering onto the ship and some companies are starting to require vaccinations,” Travel restrictions are also opening up overseas.

“Some places in Europe are opening back up. I have had bookings for Paris and Rome. All that is required for travel is a negative test shown by the paperwork given two you from a medical provider,” Bray said.

“Hawaii was a huge roadblock for travelers. Beginning July 8, people who are fully vaccinated may enter Hawaii on domestic flights. They are not required pre-travel testing/quarantine starting the 15 days after the completion of their vaccination,” Bray said. “All travelers must have their negative test results from a trusted testing site prior to departing as an alternative to Hawaii’s mandatory 10-day quarantine.”

Bray said that most of her customers are booking their vacations by waiting until the last minute because of COVID. “Normally, people book during the months of January, February and March,” Bray said. “Some of my customers are waiting up to a year to book with me.”

COVID

(Continued from A1) “A person can still get the new virus called the Delta variant even if they are vaccinated. The Delta variant is a version of the COVID-19 virus with symptoms very similar to the original virus.

This particular variant is more easily spread from person to person. The vaccine does offer protection against the variant,” Carter said.

According to the Illinois Response for Coronavirus webpage, studies suggest that all vaccines authorized for use in the United States are effective against known variants.

There are currently 4 notable variants in the United States: Q B.1.1.7 (Alpha) Q B.1.351 (Beta) Q P.1 (Gamma) Q B.1.617.2 (Delta) “Scientists continue to study the virus and other variants. The Delta variant, which was first identified in India, has been categorized as a variant of concern in the United States and linked with a growing number of cases in some parts of the country, particularly in areas with low vaccination rates,” the webpage said. “These variants seem to spread more easily and quickly than other variants, which

may lead to more cases of COVID-19. An increase in the number of cases will put more strain on healthcare resources, lead to more hospitalizations, and potentially more deaths.

“There is no booster shot available to date. Studies are being done to see if a booster vaccine would be needed,” Carter said.

It has been said that it's still not clear how long protection will last. The CDC is updating guidelines as they learn more about how long vaccines protect against COVID-19 in real-world conditions. The CDC is updating its webpage

as we hear more from public health experts.

Jersey County and other counties in the surrounding area have seen certain age groups getting vaccinated more.

“We’ve had an increase in kids coming through. I think parents are trying to get ready for the upcoming school year,” Carter said.

According to the Illinois CDC webpage, “Although fewer children and teens have been infected with COVID-19 than adults, they can still be infected with the virus that causes COVID-19, get sick

from COVID-19 and spread COVID-19 to others. After vaccination, your child or teen has a lower chance of getting COVID-19. At this time, children and teens aged 12 and up are eligible to receive the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID19 vaccine, but those younger than 12 years of age are not.”

According to a press release sent by Illinois Department of Health on Friday, July 23, the preliminary seven-day statewide positivity for cases as

a percent of total test from July 16-22 is 3.3 percent The preliminary seven-day statewide test positivity from July 16-22 is 3.5 percent. A total of 13,056,857 vaccines have been administered in Illinois as of last midnight. The sevenday rolling average of vaccines administered daily is 19,928 doses. Since reporting on Friday, July 16, 2021, 139,495 doses have been administered in Illinois.

On Monday, July 26,

COVID-19 hospitalizations are rising and the Delta variant is spreading.

It will be required at indoor public places in St. Louis County, regardless of your vaccination status, to wear a mask starting July 26. The new mandate includes people who have already been vaccinated, according to the press release. Wearing a mask while indoors with others reduces the risk of both getting and transmitting the virus.

What three values are athletes supposed to have for the Olympics?

I

was talking to a friend recently about how dogs have the ability to recognize certain words if they are around their owners on a daily basis. Even my beloved “Willie,” not the smartest dog in the world, knows the words “do you want to go?” and “are you hungry? Do you find that you have to spell certain words because your mutt will get too excited too soon about going somewhere?

That discussion with my friend got me thinking about an incident years ago with my brother, King, and his dog, “Webster”. We were staying in a motel in Burlington, Iowa on a duck hunting trip. Webster was in our room with us overnight, switching beds every half-hour. That makes for a fun evening—listening to my brother snore and fighting Webster for bed space. (It was a waste of time insisting that Webster stay in the car overnight because King said he would get kidnapped.

As I told him repeatedly in the past, if Webster were kidnapped, it would not be a permanent kidnapping.)

But now it is 4:00 a.m. and we are both awake, getting dressed. Webster is now sniffing around on the carpet and he has found one particular spot on the carpet that has really gotten his attention. This is not good—for us or the motel cleanup crew. At this point, the following discussion occurred: Me: “King, I think Webster has to potty.”

King: “Oh, don’t say that word out loud.”

Me: “What word?”

King: “P-o-t-t-y. He knows that word. He will immediately p-o-t-t-y when he hears the word p-o-t-t-y. That’s why I am spelling it.”

Me: “Are you nuts ? That mutt has no idea what you are saying.”

At this point in the discussion, Webster is doubling down on his interest with that spot on the carpet. This is not good, especially when you are the younger sibling because you already know who will be taking Webster outside in 10 degree weather. It will not be the older sibling who is still in his pajamas. This situation demanded immediate attention.

Fortunately, the motel has a sliding entrance door that automatically opens when you get within five feet of the door. The device is low enough that even Webster can trigger it, and

er Ridge Runn S CHRONICLE

based on past per- Guest Column formance, he BY BILL HOAGLAND seemed to love the ability to open that door without begging someone to do it for him. So we were outside in the blink of an eye. I was assuming “not a moment too soon”, but what a difference a wind chill can make. Let’s face it; waiting on your mutt to find just the right spot—checking and rechecking for whatever reason, I don’t know— would test anyone’s patience. But as they say, “timing is everything” or is it “location, location, location After five minutes of no production, I decided to yell “Potty”. Have you ever stood outside a row of motel rooms, yelling “potty” in the middle of the night? I was glad Webster was secured by a lead rope; that would be hard to explain if I appeared to be standing there by myself At one point I considered spelling it out letter by letter but that would be creepy even by my standards. The good news is that Webster finally got around to doing his business. Even better news is that no lights went on in any of the rooms close to the grass strip where I was loitering.

Which leads me to this question: what is it exactly that your dog is searching for? Why all the checking and rechecking the “grassy strip” before getting down to business? Does your mutt have a mental check-list embedded long before dogs hooked up with humans in the first place?

And what exactly is on that check-list? Are you supposed to wait until your owner is yelling “potty” for the tenth time ? Apparently so.

LINDA HOSKINS I love ham, but I don’t always want to buy a big ham for the two of us, so I often buy ham steak. Sometimes I just heat it up in a skillet, or we throw it on the grill. Here is a delicious way to serve it if you want something special.

GLAZED HAM STEAK (4 servings) Q 1 8-oz can sliced pineapple Q 2 boneless ham steaks Q 1/4 cup packed brown sugar Q 1/2 tsp Dijon mustard Q 4 maraschino cherries, optional Drain the pineapple, reserving 1 Tbsp juice, set pineapple aside. Cut each ham steak in half, place on an ungreased rimmed baking pan. In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, mustard and the reserved 1 Tbsp pineapple juice. Spread over the top of the ham. Top with pineapple slices and cherries.

Bake uncovered at 350 degrees for 20 to 25 minutes.

A good side dish to go with the ham is this recipe for green beans. You can use IUR]HQ JUHHQ EHDQV EXW , ¿QG that fresh green beans always taste so much better in this recipe.

BASIL BUTTERED BEANS (4 servings) Q 4 cups water Q 1 tsp chicken bouillon granules (or 1 cube) Q 1 1/2 fresh green beans, trimmed Q 1 to 2 Tbsp butter, melted

&R +Z\ 1HER ,/ 3K (PDLO GOZRUNPDQ #JPDLO FRP

Let’s Cook!

Q 3/4 tsp dried basil In a large saucepan, bring water and bouillon to a boil.

Add the beans. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes until crisp tender.

Drain. Stir in butter and basil. Serve immediately.

Have you ever wondered why recipes calling for brown sugar always say “packed”? It is a crucial step, especially in baking. If you are measuring 1 cup brown sugar, you should ¿OO XS WKH PHDVXULQJ FXS SDUW way, pack it down with a VSRRQ DQG ¿OO DQG SDFN PRUH The reason for this is because the brown sugar is sticky and traps air pockets between the grains. Without the packing, the volume measurement would be off. Another thing about brown sugar is that it is not healthier than white sugar, and the caloric count is about

the same. And did you know you can make your own brown sugar? It’s actually very easy.

Mix 1 cup granulated sugar and 1 Tbsp molasses with a wooden spoon or mixer until thoroughly blended. Store in an airtight container to prevent it from drying out. If you want dark brown sugar, increase the molasses to 2 Tbsp per 1 cup granulated sugar. Here is an even better tip: some recipes call for dark brown sugar and if you don’t have it on hand, add 1 Tbsp molasses to 1 cup of light brown sugar. Mix well.

Q If you have a recipe or cooking hint to share, or if you have a question about cooking, please send it to letscook!@heraldpubs.com or mail to Mascoutah Herald, PO Box C, Mascoutah IL 62258.

OBITUARY

Rev. Virgil ‘Clay’ Noah Jr.

Rev Virgil “Clay” Noah Jr. passed away Sunday July 25th, 2021 at his home, surrounded by his family. Clay was born November 28, 1936 in Kansas City KS and was the only son of the late Virgil Clay Noah Sr and Kathleen Louella (Willit) Noah, and he was preceded in death by a grandaughter, Sharon Kulenkamp.

Clay is survived by his beloved wife of almost 66 years Peggy Joanne (Anglen) Noah. Clay and Peggy were blessed to have four children that adored them along with their spouses; Virgil Clay Noah III (Dorothy); Jo Donna Landon (Rick); Matthew Alan Noah (Debbie); & Pamela Kay Leonard (Joe). They also have a total of 11 grandchildren; Virgil (Jessica); Cari Jo (Aaron); Joseph (Sunny); Tyler, Trevor, Travis (Manuel); Andrew, Kathleen, Noah, Nicole; and 3 great grandchildren Sophie,

Teigen, Tenley and one on the way.

Clay was an avid learner and spent his life gleaning knowledge and information. He graduated from William Jewel College with a double major, and then went on to earn his Masters of Divinity from Central Baptist Seminary. He loved to share his knowledge with those he encountered, whether it was from the pulpit or in a classroom. He was blessed to pastor at Jordan Creek Baptist Church, La Cygne KS, Ashland KS, Gardner KS, Webster City IA, Jerseyville IL, and Quincy IL where he and Peggy retired. Clay, however, didn’t let retirement keep him out of ministry, he spent 5 summers in South Dakota assisting in camping ministry, whether it was leading music around a campfire or building a bench. For 17 winters Clay even volunteered as co-pastor

for a church in their retirement village in Florida. Even Covid19 didn’t hold Clay back as he used that time to launch a series of internet devotions with Peggy. These devotions were not only an amazing “lift” for all that listened, they were also a source of strength and purpose for Clay.

As learning was a passion for Clay, there was hardly anything he didn’t attempt. Reading, painting, teaching, golfing, fishing, telling jokes and sharing stories were just some of the things he excelled at.

Studying the scriptures, and sharing insight was not only a calling, but also a love. He spent his life gleaning knowledge, to love and share the Gospel with those he encountered. His passion for music and song grew out of a music loving family, that Clay and Peggy so willingly passed on to their children. Though he

tried for years with no success, we are confident that now he can play the violin in heaven.

Visitation will be held Tuesday August 3rd at First Baptist Church Jerseyville 200 W. Pearl from 2:00 - 6:00, with a Celebration of Life to follow.

Gov. Pritzker signs package of legislation advancing LGBTQ+ rights

By PETER HANCOCK Capitol News Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker signed a bill into law Tuesday that repeals criminal penalties for people who transmit HIV to others.

House Bill 1063, by Rep. Carol Ammons, D-Urbana, and Sen. Robert Peters, D-Chicago, deletes language adopted in Illinois and many other states during the early days of the HIV epidemic that made it a felony for an individual to engage in certain activities such as unprotected sex, donating blood or tissue or sharing nonsterile intravenous needles knowing that he or she was infected with HIV. “Research has shown these laws … don’t decrease infection rates, but they do increase stigma,” Pritzker said. “It’s high time that we treat HIV as we do other treatable transmissible diseases, thereby treating our residents with dignity and furthering our mission to end this epidemic in Illinois.”

At a bill signing ceremony in Chicago, Pritzker said the legislation is one more step his administration is taking to ensure equal rights for members of the LGBTQ community.

Other steps have included providing financial aid to transgender students who

otherwise would not qualify for federal aid, requiring curriculum in public schools that includes contributions of the LGBTQ community, and expanding Medicaid to cover gender-affirming surgery.

Pritzker was joined at the ceremony by Lt. Gov. Juliana Stratton, Democratic leaders in the General Assembly who helped pass the bill, the AIDS Foundation of Chicago and other LGBTQ rights activists.

Peters noted that the law in Illinois did not require that a person actually transmit HIV to be convicted of the crime, only that they engaged in activity that could have exposed another person to the virus.

“Too often, when faced with a challenge in society, we seek the hammer of criminalization,” Peters said. “When we faced the challenge of HIV, our country reacted out of fear, prejudice and hate, and with that brought down a violent and horrendous hammer. In turn, this caused more fear, pain and trauma for people living with HIV. It did nothing to bring safety or treatment or public health to our world.”

The bill decriminalizing HIV was one of four bills Pritzker signed Tuesday that were supported by advocates for LGBTQ rights.

Pritzker also signed two bills making it easier for transgender individuals to change their names and gender identity on

marriage certificates.

Senate Bill 139 establishes a process for individuals to change the gender language on their marriage certificates while House Bill 2590 establishes a uniform standard that county clerks must adhere to for name changes on marriage certificates.

Those bills were sponsored by Sen. Sara Feigenholtz and Rep. Ann Williams, both Chicago Democrats.

In addition, Pritzker signed a House Bill 3709, which prohibits insurance companies from imposing restrictions on coverage of fertility medications and treatments, enabling LGBTQ individuals and single parents to receive those treatments under the same conditions as heterosexual individuals. It also reduces the waiting time to receive those treatments for women over age 35.

That bill was sponsored by Rep. Margaret Croke, D-Chicago, and Sen. Laura Fine, D-Glenview.

“For decades, our state insurance law discriminated against countless Illinoisans looking to welcome a child into their family, putting parenthood financially out of reach for same-sex couples, single women and others,” Croke said in a statement.

“Setting things right and creating a more inclusive insurance law was long overdue.”

IL 111/IL 267/US 67 in Madison County The Illinois Department of Transportation announces that intermittent lane restrictions will begin on IL 111/IL 267/US 67 on Friday, July 30, 2021, weather permitting. The lane restrictions will be on the following routes: US 67 between Airport Rd and Lars Hoffman Crossing IL 111/IL 267 between US 67 and the Jersey County line Two-way traffic will be maintained by the use of

flaggers. These restrictions are needed to place a new asphalt surface and the work is expected to be completed by the end of September.

Drivers are urged to reduce speed, be alert for changing conditions, obey all construction signage, and refrain from using mobile devices while approaching and traveling through the work zone.

The contractor on this project is the C. E. Mahoney Co. of Swansea, Illinois.

Updated FAQ for COVID-19 Prevention in K-12 Schools The State of Illinois adopted the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) updated guidance regarding COVID-19 prevention in K-12 schools for all public and nonpublic schools in Illinois. The updated federal guidance is currently in effect.

The CDC’s guidance is meant to help K-12 school administrators and local health officials select appropriate, layered prevention strategies in order to keep in-person learning environments safe for students and staff during times of fluctuating transmission. Answers to the following frequently asked questions (FAQs) build on the CDC’s guidance with recommendations about how to best implement the federal health authority’s recommendations.

In addition to the health and safety reasons for following the CDC’s guidance, school districts that decide not to follow the CDC’s guidance should consult with their insurers regarding risk assump-

tion and liability coverage.

Insurers may be unwilling to cover liabilities created as a result of failure to adhere to public health guidance.

Major changes to guidance for the 2021-22 school year include the following: Q Promotion of vaccination as the leading public health prevention strategy to end the COVID-19 pandemic.

Q Alignment of masking recommendations for schools with CDC guidance for individuals who are fully vaccinated.

Q Additional emphasis on the importance of offering in-person learning, regardless of whether all of the prevention strategies can be implemented in a school.

Q Revised definition of close contacts to guide quarantine procedure.

Q Introduction of a Testto-Stay alternative to quarantine.

Updated FAQs regarding the CDC’s guidance can be found at Dph.illinois.gov/ covid19/schoolFAQs.

NEWS/OUR TOWN/REAL ESTATE

‘Grease’ opens in Hardin this weekend

By CONNOR ASHLOCK Calhoun News-Herald The Calhoun Entertainment Company will be performing this year’s production of Grease on the Calhoun County fairgrounds stage this weekend.

Showtimes will be on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, with all shows beginning at 8:30 p.m.

Tickets are available for purchase at Hardin Package Liquors, Northside Family Foods, Kampsville Landing, the Bank of Calhoun County and the Bank of Kampsville and are $15 for adults, $8 for children and $10 for senior citizens.

Tickets may also be purchased at the fairgrounds on any of the three show nights, but only if they remain available.

For more information regarding ticket availability, interested persons can follow the Calhoun Entertainment Company Community

Theatre page on Facebook to stay informed.

The organization can also be reached via Facebook Messenger.

The production promises to be a great time for folks who wish to enjoy some quality entertainment from local performers and features a cast well-represented from the Calhoun and surrounding communities, as several of the performers hail from Greene County.

Even folks from Pike County are represented among the host of volunteers that work to make the CEC musicals a success every year.

The CEC has been hosting musicals for over thirty years and continues to positively impact the tri-county region in the realm of the arts, which helps explain why the company received additional support for this year’s musical from the Two Rivers Art Council.

At the time of publishing, tickets were still available for purchase for all three shows.

Grafton officials donate salary; receive national attention

By CONNOR ASHLOCK Jersey County Journal Officials of the City of Grafton have taken a noteworthy measure recently when Mayor Mike Morrow and City Attorney Will Miller opted to donate their city salaries to the Grafton Police Department.

Additionally, Sergeant Peggy O’Neill, who is also the city’s administrative manager, also donated her salary, as well as Grafton Chief of Police Eric Spanton and Public Works Director Nick Hutchens.

Concerning these last three individuals, they each donated their salaries back to the respective department they work for in the city.

According to Morrow, this act was something that he had intended and even promised to do from the start.

“When I was running, I made a campaign pledge that I would donate my salary because even then I knew the police department needed help,” Morrow said The inciting event that brought Morrow’s campaign promise to fruition was a recent city council meeting in which officials were concerned the city would be over budget in the coming fiscal year.

Morrow’s proposed budget

included additional funding for the police department, whereas another proposed budget did not include as much attention to the police department as Morrow’s budget.

Although the other budget proposal didn’t set Grafton back as far as Morrow’s budget did, it was apparent that support for the police department was well represented.

It was when concerns regarding the proposed increased setback were brought up that Morrow and Miller chimed up and said they were going to donate their salaries.

“We felt it was more important to forgo our salaries for the benefit of the Grafton police officers so that the employees were assured of their pay raises,” Miller said.

This act caught the attention of Fox News, which invited Spanton, Morrow and Miller to join them on Fox and Friends last Friday morning.

“I think someone knew someone that knew someone who made the call,” Morrow said. “On Thursday around noonish I got a call that said New York City and I almost didn’t take the call, thinking it was a robocall. I picked up and they said ‘This is Fox News. Are you IN THE CIRCUIT COURT FOR THE SEVENTH JUDICIAL CIRCUIT JERSEY COUNTY, JERSEYVILLE, ILLINOIS

Mayor Morrow?’ and that’s how it started.”

Miller shared that since Grafton was given national attention for this good deed, he has received numerous calls of support and thanks from folks near and far.

“We have seen an outpouring from the local community,” Miller said.

“None of us did this for grandstanding purposes.

I still don’t know how we ended up on Fox and Friends from my office, but it has grown immensely.”

Government officials, local business owners, individuals from around the country and even other mayors have reached out to Morrow and Miller about what they and their colleagues with the City of Grafton have done.

Their actions have even inspired others to action.

“I had a call the other day from a mayor who just got elected who wants to do this, too,” Morrow said.

Morrow also explained that residents have stepped up to donate their time to mow Red Hawk Park, and another individual donated the funds necessary to purchase a baby swing for the playground equipment at the park as well.

“Small municipalities— all of them struggle with budgets, so this isn’t something just affecting Grafton, but all communities. If we do something that helps locally and inspires others, that’s the best thing that can come from this,” Morrow said.

“I’m still in shock and grateful for all the support and love that’s been pouring out, not for us, but for our police officers who deserve it— who keep us safe— and we’re glad we get to do that because they keep the City of Grafton safe.”
