Celebrating Independence Fair board honors members who’ve recently passed

Connor Ashlock/ Jersey County Journal

The Jerseyville fireworks show was a crowd pleaser on Independence Day evening, when hundreds of residents descended upon the fairgrounds and Legion grounds to watch the show. Muntz’ food stand at the west end of the grandstand was on hand selling brats, hotdogs and ribeyes while the kiddos played with sparklers and families enjoyed the pleasant summer evening. All in all, it was a great way to celebrate our republic’s independence.

Connor Ashlock/Jersey County Journal

Maggie, Kaylin and Catherine Norman (pictured left to right) were among the many spectators at the Jerseyville fireworks show on the Fourth of July.

By CONNOR ASHLOCK Jersey County Journal Following the 150th Jersey County Fair in 2019, the fair association lost several highly dedicated icons who have been fair fixtures for decades, including Phil Ringhausen, Sr., Donald Pellikan and Sonny Bowman. All three of these individuals made a lasting impact on the Jersey County Fair, as well as their contemporaries. These were some of the men who, in their tenure with the fair, worked diligently in raising barns, building the grandstand, maintaining livestock shows and constructing the green building, among numerous other things. Their efforts did not go unnoticed, nor did their love for the fair. So, as the Jersey County Fair Board continues to set the stage for this year’s fair following its 2020 absence, they thought it honorable to bring the memory of these men into the future of the fair as well. “We take our heritage very seriously at county fairs— we’ve been around for close to 160 years now, so how could your heritage and tradition not be important to you,” Jersey County Fair Board President Phil Ringhausen said. “You take a look at all the barns, sheds, the track, the grandstand— that was your dad, mom, grandpa and grandma who built that. You can’t help but turn around and see your own family’s legacy all around you. That gets ingrained in you from an early age.” For Ringhausen, as well as other fair board members who have been involved with the fair for all their lives, they’ve seen members of the “old guard” pass away through the

years— folks who carried the fair through World War II and the changes that came through the latter half of the 20th century. “These benches are the very least way we can commemorate the legacy of these board members who have passed away,” Ringhausen said. “It makes me consider just how many through the years that we’ve neglected to honor.” Considering the three individuals for whom the new benches will honor, their legacies with the fair are extensive. “Don Pellikan was the oldest fair director in the state, if not one of the oldest,” Ringhausen said. Those who’ve grown up around the fair will recall Pellikan always in his denim overalls and button-up underneath taking the helm with the dairy show. A farmer all his life, Pellikan joined the fair board when he was 18 years old and remained active all the way through the fair’s 150th annual exhibition in 2019 at the age of 95. “Don went on the fair board when it used to be made up of two people from every township. The person in Don’s township had gotten ill or wasn’t able to do it, and they asked Don to take his place,” Ringhausen explained. Sonny Bowman was honored at the Illinois State Fair in 2019 for 40 years of service to the Jersey County Fair Board. This year’s fair would have marked 42 years of service as a fair board director. “Sonny was our sheep superintendent for almost his whole time on the board, and being a carpenter, he helped build some of our livestock barns and exhibition buildings at the fair,” Ringhausen said. (See, HONORS, A2)

Jersey County Fair returns next week By CONNOR ASHLOCK Jersey County Journal The Jersey County Fair is less than a week away, and Fair Board President Phil Ringhausen reports that volunteers are ready to ensure the time-honored tradition goes off without a hitch, well, as long as the weather holds out. “Pretty much everything is ready to go for this year’s fair. We’ve been diligently working on getting things ready and organized for this year and are excited to bring it back after a two-year hiatus,” Ringhausen said. Board members and volunteers were a little anxious earlier this year, as they worried whether or not the COVID situation would improve before the summer, although as the months wore on, they grew more confident that the annual agricultural exhibition would be able to go on. Ringhausen shared that it was

Gov. JB Pritzker sending the state into Phase 5 of his Restore Illinois plan that sealed the deal for this year’s fair. “It opened up allowing people into the grandstand to come in and see the events,” Ringhausen noted. The Jersey County Fair will kick off this weekend with 4-H livestock shows, as well as the annual Jersey County Fair Backyard BBQ Cook-off and Christian Music Night, which will all take place Sunday. Public tasting at the barbecue cook-off will begin at 4 p.m. Tinsley’s Amusements, which has supplied the carnival for over thirty years, is prepared to open up on Tuesday, July 13, and there’s no doubt about it— after two years without the famed octopus, swings and Pharaoh’s Fury— folks will be eager to get their carnival-fix in before heading over to the food stands to grab a pronto pup and lemonade shake up. “We have Jim Dees coming,

who’s a comedian and magician. We’re sure he’ll entertain all ages, especially families. Then, we also have an educational act by the name of Bearadise Ranch, which rescues all species of bears,” Ringhausen said. This is the first time in the past several years that the fair has featured an animal act. Previously, pigs, tigers, elephants and even alligators have made their way to the fairgrounds. “The fair board works with the department of conservation in the states that our animal acts originate from, so they’re backed by their respective states,” Ringhausen said. “This company supplies bears for motion pictures and advertisements and is an educational act that will give fairgoers an opportunity to experience them from a closer perspective.” Additionally, Nolan’s Petting Zoo will be making their way down from Eldred again this year and Dan the Ax Man with Riverbend Ax Throwing will be

set up by the green building, where folks can test their axthrowing abilities. Aside from the acts, grandstand events this year include the 25th annual Jersey County

Fair talent show and 60th annual Fair Queen pageant, as well as the other events that fairgoers have come to enjoy the past several years. (See, FAIR, A2)

The mystery of Jersey County’s missing murals By HALEY DISTERHOFT Jersey County Journal In small towns and cities across the Midwest, it’s common to see murals on the sides of buildings and businesses, but historically, Jersey County has been lacking when it comes to murals and public art installations. A few advertisements once adorned buildings in downtown Jerseyville, but those have faded with time. Recently, a mural was painted on the JCBA building by a student, Samantha Weishaupt, which left some locals asking the question, “Can we do even more to beautify our town?” “I believe people in Jerseyville would like to see murals. Not just Jerseyville, but Jersey County. I think that we would like to see more of it, but where do we begin?” Erica Heitzig, JCHS design teacher, said. Beth Bear, JCBA Chamber director, does not remember murals ever being a part of Jerseyville’s landscape. “If you look at the communities that do have murals, one of the things they also

usually have is some sort of arts organization,” Bear said. “An arts collective, like the Jacoby Arts Center, or something along those lines, that pushes the community to incorporate art into their landscape. We’ve never had anything like that, to my knowledge, in Jerseyville.” It’s not easy creating murals without the help of an organization. Painting the entire side of a building can be a daunting task, especially for volunteers who are young and inexperienced. “Painting the mural was so fun for her, but she’s 16 years old, and she had to prime the building,” Heitzig said in reference to Weishaupt’s JCBA project. “She’s up on scaffolding, she’s up on ladders, it was summertime, it was hot… She was used to painting on such a small scale, and oftentimes, you don’t realize what you’re really getting yourself into.” Luckily, Weishaupt was very dedicated and was able to produce a fantastic mural, but Heitzig is not so eager to keep loaning out students. She is not able to supervise the projects, fund them or supply materials. Ultimately, it needs to be a community effort and funding needs to

be secured before any murals can begin. “There needs to be a little committee of people who are interested or something,” Heitzig said. “Any building owner that is willing needs to come together with talented local artists and figure out how it could all be paid for.” Paying for paint and materials is only part of it. Heitzig says professional artists need to be paid to create murals instead of relying on volunteers for such a difficult task. “It would be so nice to actually pay them. It’s so much time and not just anyone can do that well,” Heitzig said. Bear is not so sure how residents would feel about a push for art in the community. “In my opinion, lots of times, art is seen as something for artists or students, or it’s sort of a highbrow or esoteric pursuit, and it’s not. It’s something everybody can enjoy,” Bear said. Creating a more aesthetically pleasing backdrop for businesses can help draw more customers in, even from out of town. “We recognize that a beautiful down-

town is good for local businesses,” Bear said. Luckily, Bear has some funding secured through a grant provided by the non-profit group, Two Rivers Art Council. The non-profit is responsible for distributing grants throughout counties in western Illinois. “In their own words, they said, ‘We really haven’t served that portion of our geographical area very well,’” Bear recalled. “And they said, ‘Would you have any ideas for some projects that we could fund?’” With the grant, Bear has been able to move two art projects forward. “We quickly worked with two local artists, one is Jody Jedlicka; she’s a photographer. She’s going to do an architectural retrospective of buildings in Jersey County,” Bear said. The photography project will showcase a “then and now” perspective on Jerseyville buildings and will hopefully be shown at the Jerseyville Historical Society, to be announced at a later date.

Feeling

Local man is leaving behind a legacy By CYNTHIA HAGGIT Jersey County Journal Jerseyville resident John Dougherty is leaving a local legacy behind him. After 43 years of working at Alton’s Schnucks, Dougherty retired from his position on Saturday, July 3, from customer service at the grocery store. Dougherty began his career in the food industry just after high school. He began his career first in Jerseyville, where he grew up, “I started my first job at Sinclair's grocery,” Dougherty said. “I worked for them for two years and then left. I then began my employment with Schnucks in Alton on Nov. 4, 1977.” Dougherty said he has really enjoyed working for the company. “They are a good company to work for and treat their employees really well,” he said. “It is really unheard of for an employee to remain in such a position at a grocery store for that long,” Rick Powell, Schnucks Manager and Dougherty's former boss, said. “John is actually a really good worker. Customers really seem to like him and

if they need something he is the person to ask.” Powell said that when COVID-19 was hitting the store and customers asked for front store delivery he was always helpful. “He was our go-to guy for anything. If a customer needs something, he would direct them or take them to the place that their items they needed,” Powell said. Powell said he was happy for Dougherty and knows he has plans to spend some of his free time with his daughter and his family. He mentioned that people are really going to miss him in the store. Acoworker of Dougherty’s, Lea-Ann Rowan, agreed. “John is awesome and he is a stand up guy. I have had the pleasure of working with him for the past 35 years,” she said. ”Working with him has been outstanding. He is a great guy, great co-worker and father.” Rowan mentioned that Dougherty became somewhat famous for his great stories over the years. He talks about his experiences working here, his interactions with customers, relationships he has had with them and his stories about

ing him talk about his kids,” Rowan said. One of Dougherty’s favorite customers, Norma Wirth, was in the check out line and wished him well. “I have known John for 6 years now and have often brought my great-grandchild Judah Parden with me over the years when I was doing my shopping,” she said Wirth said Dougherty is now one of Judah’s favorite people to visit when he goes to Schnucks. “I have fond memories visiting with Norma. I even had my picture taken with Judah, and it is still on my refrigerator today,” Dougherty said. “Before COVID-19, we would have a cookie together, and when he came to the store next week with Norma, I was in the dairy department and I hear a loud shout from the bakery. It was sevenyear-old Judah. He races over and brings me a cookie. We sit down as my boss walks by us and I just see him smile at what we were eating,” Dougherty said.

Following his retirement, Dougherty plans to spend more time with his daughters and wife who all live in Jerseyville with him. “We have a honey do-list. I hope to go to more auctions and travel as much as we can, all things considering that both my girls are in high school in Jerseyville,” he said. ”Both girls are in marching band and in the color guard, so I am happy. I will get to see them perform more now that I am retired.” Dougherty has no plans to return to work like some people do when they retire. “When I went to file for pension benefits in Edwardsville, they told me if I get another job in the food industry it will affect my pension,” he explained with a laugh. “When I’m done working, I’m done. My daughter, Lily, pointed out I will receive my first day of independence on the Fourth of July holiday weekend. How ironic that my retirement began then.”

That was the first year he showed at the Jersey County Fair,” Ringhausen said. “He did a lot of different things and tackled different projects that helped get the fair to where it is today.” In his later years, folks knew “Phil Sr.” when they saw him taking money at the livestock gate at the fairgrounds. He was a fixture there for many years. The dedication of all these men shows in the fact that they raised their family to follow in their footsteps, whether they meant to or not. Pellikan’s daughter still helps work the dairy show every year, Bowman has family who also serve on the board and Ringhausen

(Continued from A1) “We also have another project that will be a mural. We are working with artist Brandy McCoy, and that mural will be on the back of the Sweet Life building,” Bear said. McCoy is still determining a design for the building. Bear wanted to start sensibly and believes this building is an ideal location for its small size and accessibility. “We wanted to make sure we could do something and do it well,” Bear said.

has a son, daughter-in-law, three grandchildren and even a handful of great grandchildren who have worked beside him to make the fair a successful event every year. Ringhausen hopes to explore ways of honoring all board members and honorary board members who have passed on through the years, and so far the fair is

off to a good start by honoring these three legacies. The benches will be strategically placed in the areas of the fair where Pellikan, Bowman and Ringhausen focused their attention, according to Ringhausen. “The benches will be found where they left their mark,” Ringhausen said.

Let everyone have access to your business!

am writing this column on July 3. Last night, a black bear was spotted in Wentzville, Missouri on a trail camera in someone’s backyard. Just last week, one was seen in West St. Louis County and the week before that, one was seen in Webster Groves. And lest we forget, there has been one roaming around in southern Illinois for the past three weeks. All the more reason to get that trail camera—you never know who or what is in your backyard after dark—and there are plenty of reasons these days to know that. For example, my turkey hunting buddies and I stay at a friend’s cabin in the Ozarks every spring during turkey season. The cabin has two flush toilets inside, but when I have to “tap a kidney” in the middle of the night, I prefer to step outside. This avoids waking everyone else up with a toilet flush, but more importantly, being outside in the middle of the night in the Ozarks is almost magical with all those stars. While I am out there, I usually let out an owl hoot or two just because I can. This spring was no different. I was out there in the middle of the night hooting away while I was watering the bushes and enjoying the sense of freedom that comes with all that. About a week after we got home, one of the guys who owns the cabin sent me some trail camera photos taken right outside the front door of the cabin a few nights after I was there. One of those pictures is attached. This is a pretty good example of why you want to know who or what is outside your house in the middle of the night. Perhaps it is unlikely that there will be a bear right outside your front door, but it could be worse. I have seen some pretty creepy trail camera photos on the internet and maybe you

Diane Stumpe Diane Stumpe died July 6, 2021. She was 70 years old. Diane Lee McDaniel Bensen was born December 22, 1950, in Chicago, Illinois to Virginia Cozart McDaniel and Roland McDaniel. She was later adopted by Roy Bensen. She grew up in the Chicago area and attended Willow Brook High School in Villa Park, IL, where she graduated in 1968.

After graduation, they moved to Dow, IL, where they lived and worked on the Stumpe family farm. A city girl, Diane embraced her new farm life and jumped in both feet.

What to do about Japanese Beetles They’re back! After hitching their initial ride on imported ornamental plants in 1916, Japanese beetles decided North America isn’t such a bad place to live and have made a presence year after year since. Today, these pests can be a serious nuisance to gardeners and farmers throughout North America feeding on over 300 different species of trees, shrubs and non-woody plants. Adults first emerge around the end of June to early July hungry and ready to eat; some of their favorite plants include Japanese maple, rose-of sharon, roses, grape, cherry and more. Individual beetles do not cause severe damage; when there is a group of beetles feeding in one area, the damage becomes more severe, and unfortunately, we often see Japanese beetles in groups. Feeding begins at the top of the plant, working downward; with adults chewing out tissue between the veins giving a lacelike appearance. We can all probably spot damage done by adult beetles; however, damage done by Japanese beetle grubs can be just as much of an issue; grubs chew off grass roots which reduces the ability of the grass to take up water especially during the hot, dry summer weather resulting in large patches of dead grass. Japanese beetles overwinter in the grub stage; as soil temperatures warm to above 50 degrees in the spring, the grubs begin to move up into the root zone to feed. There are many different options for managing Japanese beetles. Start by selecting plant species that are less desirable by Japanese beetles. Some of these plants include begonia, holly, dogwood, forsythia, columbine, impatiens, lilacs, hosta and violets. Soil insecticides can be used to control grubs in the soil; however, Japanese beetles can fly long distances to

find your lawn making these not entirely effective. Proper application time is also very important when it comes to soil insecticides. Removing beetles by hand can provide adequate protection when beetle numbers are low. The presence of beetles on a plant attracts more beetles, so remove beetles before too many congregate. The easiest way to remove beetles is to shake them off in the morning when they are sluggish. Beetles can be killed by putting them into a bucket of soapy water. Use cheesecloth or other fine netted material to protect high valued plants such as roses. Japanese beetle traps often attract more beetles than they can trap. Also, plants along the path to the traps are likely to suffer. These traps are not recommended for managing populations of Japanese beetles. Many insecticides are labeled for use against adult Japanese beetles. Insecticides are a more practical option for use in large scale settings such as production fields. For those seeking a natural option, Neem oil can provide a 3 to 4-day deterrence. If the chemical option is chosen, be sure to thoroughly treat foliage and flowers. One should always read and follow the label. Insecticides often control many insects including bees; it is important to weigh options when deciding on control tactics. Products such as insecticidal soaps, hot pepper, companion planting or orange peels are generally ineffective. Good Growing Fact: There is a concern that smashing Japanese beetles will release pheromones which will attract more beetles. Pheromones are used to attract beetles for mating; however, once the beetles have mated, they will no longer produce the pheromones, so it is okay to smash the beetles.

Miss Jersey County Sara Lamer excited for 2021 fair

By CONNOR ASHLOCK Jersey County Journal With the fair opening up next week, Miss Jersey County Sara Lamer desires to welcome fairgoers to this year’s agricultural exhibition after the rough year 2020 posed for a lot of people. Though Lamer was able to carry out the responsibilities that come with being the fair queen early on in her tenure, when March 2020 hit, her duties came to a screeching halt as the fair season loomed in the distance. Though Lamer was able to enjoy most of her first year as queen, which included visiting various county fairs, the Illinois State Fair and competing for the role of official hostess of both state fairs at the Miss Illinois County Fair Queen Pageant in January 2020, once the virus hit, she, along with Little Miss Jersey County Mable Pohlman, had to put their crowns up for awhile. Once it was starting to look like the 2020 fair season would be a bust, the fair board approached Lamer and asked if she would take on the task of serving as the fair queen for another year. Two-year queens are a rarity and only happen once in a blue moon. Being a two-year queen means double the work and continued responsibilities serving the fair in addition to work and school. “When I first got the opportunity to say yes or no I was really excited for it because it was the unknown. No one knew what was going to happen, I just knew I had to continue keeping people involved and that was the fun of it,” Lamer said. “But, it was like being in an awkward limbo because even though I was still the queen, I didn’t get to do anything during the pandemic. But, I don’t think I would have chosen any other way. I feel honored and blessed.” Though Lamer and Pohlman weren’t able to represent the Jersey County Fair at events in 2020, they’ve recently been able to make appearances at other county fairs the past several weeks as county fairs get back into the swing

of things. “It’s made the last two months very special. I got all the good stuff in during the summer and fall of 2019 as well as the winter, then I took a break and got to finish out and it got so much sweeter,” Lamer explained. “Mable and I are getting to go to these county fairs and are enjoying our last few days as queens.” Lamer reports that the last two years have been marked by exceptional growth due to her involvement with the fair. “It really made me appreciate all the hard work that everyone puts into our community from the agricultural side. I don’t think people really understand how important it is to the livelihood of our community— and not only us, but the entire state. Before two years ago, I went to the fair for the food— that was my sole purpose. When my mom said ‘Let’s go to the exhibition hall,’ I’d respond with ‘For what reason?’ But now, that’s all I want to do,” Lamer explained. “There’s so much about our history and culture that’s right there at our fingertips at our fairs.” Lamer marked an important step for Jersey County Fair history in her time as queen by being the first immigrant to sit in the role. “I feel really honored to be in that role,” Lamer said. “Becoming the first Latin American fair queen, I think, feels lie a big step forward.” Lamer spent the first ten years of her life on her grandparents coffee farm in El Salvador. “I’ve been really blessed. I feel like Jerseyville is very, very accepting of me and interested in my culture and background. I have never felt unloved by the community,” Lamer noted. The opportunity to represent the fair and Jersey County agriculture was deeply impressed upon Lamer’s mind, so much so that she took a class titled “History of Agriculture in Illinois from 1860” at the University of Illinois, where she is currently enrolled. Having immersed herself in the role, like other queens have before her, she joins them in encouraging young ladies in

4.0 GPA during the Spring 2021 semester at Drake. Drake University is a midsize, private university in Des Moines, Iowa, enrolling nearly 3,000 undergraduate and more than 1,800 graduate students.

the community to consider vying for the role someday. But, more specifically, she looks forward to crowning the next Miss Jersey County next Wednesday night at the grandstand, and to that young lady, Lamer encourages her to be involved, take it seriously and have fun with it. “Have fun, be in the moment and don’t worry about what other people are thinking. Just have fun with it, because when you’re having fun with it, people know you are. If you are genuinely happy to be where you’re at and embracing the moment, you cannot look back at your year and consider it a bad one. Also, take advantage of the people you meet. The thing I appreciate most of all is the people I’ve gotten to meet along the way and this new love for the fair that I didn’t have before,” Lamer said.

Pritzker announces large businesses to report equal pay info Following Gov. Pritzker’s signature of SB1847, businesses with 100 or more employees will be required to provide the Illinois Department of Labor (IDOL) with details about its workers and their pay beginning in 2022. The forthcoming change will require qualified, private employers to submit information in line with current requirements by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC). “The legislation requires businesses to disclose specific worker data, to ensure that disparities do not exist regarding pay equity at large employers. It’s important to note the Illinois Department of Labor takes seriously the collection of this information. IDOL will ensure no individually identifiable details will be available to the public. The forthcoming changes are the result of productive conversations with IDOL, the General Assembly and groups representing businesses across the state,” Illinois Department of Labor Director Michael Kleinik said. This law is an initiative of the Illinois Legislative Black Caucus and was originally passed as part of the Equity Pillar legislation

Lamer, like the many queens before her, has no intention of leaving her experience as queen in the past. She hopes that in the future, she can look back on her time as queen and remember it for kickstarting a lifelong appreciation for Illinois agriculture and community. “I still have so much more to learn. Yes, I took a class on the history of agriculture in Illinois and represented Jersey County, but there were 18 years of my life when I didn’t learn anything about it, so I think even after moving on and retiring and giving up my crown, it’s not something I’m going to let go of. It’s something I’m going to keep appreciating and learning more about,” Lamer explained. “Being the fair queen has created a new excitement for agriculture that I never expected someone like myself to have.”

Jersey County Journal has Advertise new regional editor with us!

Jumping back into journalism, Cynthia Haggitt, who currently resides in Chatham, Ill., will be taking on the role of regional editor, overseeing the editorial production of the Calhoun News-Herald, the Greene Prairie Press and the Jersey County Journal. “I am glad to have her aboard and look forward to seeing her integrate into the community and deliver news to your readers," Greg Hoskins, president/publisher of Better Newspapers Inc., said. “I am excited about taking on this new role, getting familiar with the counties, and digging into the community to bring great stories for our readers," Haggitt said. Haggitt is taking the place of Jarad Jarmon, who assumed the role for two years. Jarmon will be moving to Mattoon, Ill., closer to his fiance’s family. “It was wonderful integrating myself in the community.

The American Red Cross continues to experience a severe blood shortage that is negatively affecting blood product availability across the country. Donors of all blood types – especially type O and those giving platelets – are urged to make an appointment to give now and help ensure hospital shelves are stocked with blood products over the Fourth of July holiday and beyond. Right now, the Red Cross is working around the clock to provide blood products to hospitals responding to an unusually high number of traumas and emergency room visits, as well as overdoses and resulting transplants. As a result of the blood shortage, some hospitals are being forced to slow the pace of elective surgeries until the blood supply stabilizes, delaying crucial patient care. In addition, while sum-

mer is traditionally a time when blood donations decline, this year is particularly challenging as many Americans receive their vaccinations and resume summer activities after more than a year of limited interactions and travel, leading to lower donor turnout.
