Jarad JARMON Jersey County Journal The last bell ring of the day May 30 marked the start of summer break for Jersey Community School District students, but for staff across the district, it served as a green light to start work on numerous renovations projects across the district.

Staff in the buildings are finishing up work done across the district. At the heart of many of the projects this year, as was the case the previous year, was security and safety.

The most extensive work took place at the locker room building for the Jersey Community High School and

Jerseyville East Elementary School.

The locker room, or more specifically a wing of the locker room that served as an unused storage space for the district has been renovated into a classroom, said Jersey Superintendent Brad Tuttle.

It will be leased out by the Regional Office of Education and serve as a safe school in the region. A safe school provides alternative education for students in grades 6-12 who have been suspended several times or are on the verge of being expelled because of gross misconduct.

Also, it will also serve as a site for adult education and credit recovery in the area.

Tuttle said the district office was the site of the safe school program, but the space did not fit all of the programs run out of the district building.

At East Elementary, staff in the district have been restructuring the entrance into the building along with the front offices. Like at Jerseyville West Elementary School last year, Tuttle said this was a move geared toward ensuring guests entering the school would need to go through the office when they are buzzed in.

“If you want to enter the school you go into the office,” Tuttle said.

Rt. 16 to Joe Page Bridge could open soon

By JARAD JARMON Jersey County Journal Although not set in stone, local officials involved in flood recovery say the highway leading up to the Joe Page Bridge could be open to traffic soon.

Brett Gettings, Nutwood Levee District Commissioner, said the highway, Route 16, in East Hardin could be opened in a week. This, however, is the best case scenario.

He stressed this is a “maybe,” noting it still depends on where water levels have settled by that time.

Joseph Monroe, operations engineer with District 8 of the Illinois Department of Transportation, said it is highly dependent on if waters recede

quickly enough and if there is any road damage. He said they are hopeful there will be only slope and shoulder damage, but that cannot be confirmed until water flows back into the river.

Gettings said there is still 6,000 acres underwater.

Among the list of structures still under flood waters is the pumphouse located southwest of Nutwood, which is needed to start pumping out water that sits in the surrounding area. The flooded area has served as a basin or bowl trapping the water, so in many parts of the region, flooding is still a reality.

Gettings said the pumphouse is 30-inches deep in water with it going down an estimated rate of 3-4 inches

a day. “(The water) has to be off of the floor before we can get our stuff going,” he said.

He explained the pumps they have are submersible, but the wiring is not. Crews will be able to access the pumphouse in, at best, 10 days, Gettings said. In the meantime, crews have dug a ditch 20-feet wide and 6-feet deep at levee to relieve some of build up and let the water runout.

“We are just glad the river is at its banks,” he said.

Once they start pumping the water out, it will still take time to drain the area of flood waters. Gettings said it would take roughly 30 days, (See, BRIDGE, A2)

Rehabbed eagle released at wildlife refuge

By JARAD JARMON Jersey Coutny Journal He made it clear. It was time.

A bald eagle that was found weak, suffering from what appeared to lead poisoning in Perry, Ill., was subsequently sent to the Treehouse Wildlife Center in Dow June 11 for rehabilitation.

In the time since, he has grown stronger, cleared of the lead in his system, and on Saturday, officials with the wildlife center released the bird into the Two River National Wildlife Refuge in Brussels.

“He let us know he was ready to go,” said Kelly Vandersand, fundraising coordinator with the center.

A favorite at the center, the juvenile bald eagle, who was unnamed as part of an effort to ensure he did not imprint on humans, was feisty and was ready to get back out in the wild, Vandersand said.

She said they needed to make sure he was ready, though. They needed to make sure he was strong and the lead was out of his system. With lead poisoning cases, there is always a chance of relapse from trace amounts of the lead that was potentially missed. The center officials were confident the

young bird was clear.

The release of the bird was in memorial of a Wood River woman who was an active participant in the work done at the center. For more than 30 years of her life, Shirley McCann was a dedicated volunteer with the center along with her husband, Mel. Shirley died in May this year.

Shirley was considered a great cook. During her time at the wildlife center, she was always the first to bring food for workdays and events, Vandersand said. As part of the center’s Owl Fest, Shirley provided the baskets for the Owl Stroll and the stuffed animals for a Teddy Bear Clinic. Her volunteerism expanded to just about anything the center needed help with, though.

“Anytime she found out we needed something, she was the first to volunteer,” Vandersand said.

Vandersand said connecting the release to Shirley felt a fitting send off.

“It was our way of honoring her and her husband, Mel,” Vandersand said.

On the day of the release, the bird, (See, EAGLE, A2)

By JARAD JARMON Jersey County Journal Vintage cars. Bubbly 60’s tunes. And now, polka dot dresses.

The Ninth Annual Jerseyville Police Department D.A.R.E. Car Show, an event already seeped in nostalgic vibes, got a bigger dose Sunday with the addition of a pin-up contest.

Kittenz of the Kulture partnered with the car show organizers, the Jersey County Street Machine Association, to bring more skirts and dresses into the mix of cars.

Beyond the cars and the shade from the trees in the parking lot of the Jersey Community High School, the pin-up contest drew the most interest from attendees. Michelle Stassi, Kittenz president, said it is all about the visual associated with all of it that attracts people to these contests as spectators and participants.

“They just like to see the girls, dressed up in a different time era,” Stassi said. “It is different…When you think about pin-up and the ’50s, you think about the styles and the hair. You just picture that house wife look or that girl next door riding around in her little chevy, it is just the visual that you get.”

The contest was separated out into three categories: adult, junior for those 11-17, petite for those 1-10 and youth and adult crowd favorites. Each of the ladies and girls answered a couple of questions and showed of a signature pin-up pose in 50’s-styled garb.

The adult category winner was Stephanie Lombarbo, known on stage as “Stella Noir”; junior winner, Ava Custer, 11; petite winner and youth crowd favorite, Hattie May Kadell, 3; and adult crowd favorite, Karen Long, known on stage as “Betty von Buxom.”

Despite the heat, people came out, and Bob McDonald, president of the street machine of the association, knew why.

“It is just the nostalgia,” McDonald said. “People love it.”

This year attendance was up but the cars at the show were down. McDonald said it fluctuates year to year. This year he believed the pin-up contest brought more people out and generated money for the D.A.R.E. program.

The car show’s proceeds went entirely to the local D.A.R.E. arm, which serves to educate local youth on the ills of drug abuse and alcohol.

The car show grew nine years ago from an interest by the street machine association to create a car show and a need to raise money for the local D.A.R.E. program. The education program is selfsupporting and other fundraiser did not generate funds necessary for the program.

“People don’t realize how expensive the program is,” said Rich Portwood, D.A.R.E officer. “It is tough to fund the program… This is what pays for the program itself.”

Local woman attends Fourth of July celebration in Washington

By KYLE CUNNINGHAM Jersey County Journal Grafton native Dottie DeSherlia Koenig has always held an admiration for her father, Adam DeSherlia.

He was her hero.

DeSherlia was a World War 2 veteran and served as both, the sheriff of Jersey County and chief of police in Grafton.

So, when Koenig caught word of the Salute to America event in Washington D.C. thrust forward by President Donald Trump earlier this summer, she knew she had to go to help pay tribute to her father who made such a significant impact in her life.

“I wanted to make sure I went because it was important for me.

My dad fought in World War 2,” Koenig said. “I was so proud of my dad; he was my hero.”

DeSherlia was part of the 20th armored division who helped liberate Dachau on April 29, 1945.

And in Portwood’s eyes, it is something vital in the education students are getting today, especially through

social media.

“Our kids have so much access to social media, television, the internet and so forth. They are getting a lot of mixed messages,” he said.

“They are getting a lot of messages that say it is OK to

use drugs. It is OK to drink.

It is OK to smoke. They are not being given all of the facts. So, with a program like D.A.R.E., we really work hard to teach them some facts about drug-use, about alcohol, about tobacco.”

The program has even expanded to other social ills facing youth covering topics like bullying and suicide.

“We are trying to reach out to these kids and provide a lot of different social programs for them,” he continued.

Two arrests made in alleged Casey’s burglary

By JARAD JARMON Jersey County Journal Police arrested two men in connection to an alleged robbery at 2:59 a.m. July 30 at the Casey’s General Store, located in the 700 block of South State St. Police report Michael L. Crump, 40, of St. Louis, Mo., and Zachary J. Dorsey, 34, of St. Louis, Mo., were arrested following an investigation into the matter.

Jerseyville officers were alerted to the scene by an alarm at the Casey’s, according to a news release from police. Upon their arrival, police reportedly saw a subject in dark clothing and a hoodie run behind the store. Police observed the glass front door to the store had been shattered, and the cash registers inside the store had been pulled off the counter and pried

open.

Officers located a vehicle leaving the area with Missouri license plates.

The driver of the vehicle, Crump, was detained, according to police officials. The individual who allegedly entered the store and ran on foot from the scene was Dorsey.

Police report Dorsey used a rock to break the front door window and entered the store with alleged intent to burglarize it. Crump was to pick Dorsey up after burglarizing the Casey’s, police say.

When police arrived, it was reported that Dorsey fled on foot, and Crump drove away.

Police say Dorsey and Crump also burglarized the Dollar General in Carrolton.

Both were sent to the Jersey County Jail.

Schools

(Continued from A1) Many of the changes at East over the summer were made with this in mind. Along with the restructured entrances, the principal’s office has been expanded to allow sensitive conversations, like with parents, to take place in the office.

Beforehand, conversations with large quantities of people would require them to be in a room among classrooms. The principal’s office was half of what it is today.

The other half was a nurses office that has been moved to what was the teacher’s lounge, a move that offered more space for the nurse’s office. The teacher’s lounge then moved to what was a computer lab, that had become obsolete once the district moved to a one-toone program. These programs provide all students in a district with their own laptop, netbook, tablet computer, or other mobile computing devices.

In-line with those safety principals, they also created a conference room and small-

er rooms for official meetings including, for example, Department of Children and Family Services investigations, Tuttle said.

“You really never enter our schools and then you can depart,” Tuttle said. “You are not roaming in our hallways.”

At the high school, there was also work done to repurpose a set of rooms above the main entrance to the school into the Learning Lab. The space was once used as the guidance office that was moved last year The lab will be a space for credit recovery, an alternative education setting for in-school suspensions, special education and social and emotional support.

“It is all trying to help us with the new funding formula and graduation rates,” Tuttle said.

He said they are going to be putting an emphasized effort toward those who are struggling to graduate on time, “which is how we are being rated in the new funding for-

mula.”

“We think we are going to be helping a lot of kids,” he said.

Beyond the focus on graduation rates, the lab will serve to problem-solve with students who have social and emotional needs, which can take many forms, Dan Diamond, JCHS At-Risk Coordinator, said. It is for those students who might be too consumed with serious personal situations to focus in the classroom, had they even made it to class.

“Mostly, it’s having a social worker, special education teachers, paraprofessionals, myself here developing programs throughout the day to make them more successful,” he said.

Other smaller projects were also completed throughout the building, and Tuttle said the district is ready to come back online for the school district.

Most of the work throughout each school was done with funds from the facilities sales tax implemented years ago.

Local food bank receives $10,000 Bayer Fund grant The St. Vincent DePaul Food Bank received a $10,000 grant from Bayer in Jerseyville.

According to a news release, employees from Bayer in Jerseyville recommended St. Vincent DePaul Food Bank receive a $10,000 grant from Bayer Fund.

Funds from the grant will be used to improve, upgrade and enhance the space of the facility that houses the food bank. Also, funds will go toward making it more effective, safer and easier to administer food and services to the clients who are helped through the St. Vincent de Paul Society in Jersey County.

Residents of Jersey County contact the St. Vincent de Paul Society when they are in need of food or financial assistance.

The past 15 years, the donations of supporters have enabled the food program to help nearly 5,200 people with over 2,300 bags of groceries, most of them non-perishables, according to the release.

With the Bayer grant money, two freezers and more shelving can be purchased to add frozen meats, fruits, vegetables, and other items to the food program. The grant money will allow a ramp and sidewalk to be built

to facilitate the easiness and safety of food distribution. The grant money will also provide office supplies, phone minutes, a food cart, dolly and electrical upgrades to the site said Rozann Schepers, president of the Jersey County St. Vincent de Paul Society.

Jersey Township Food Bank previously received a Bayer Fund grant in 2018, which purchased a garage door, additional shelves, an air conditioner and freezers.

“It’s always a pleasure to be able to partner with organizations that play such an important role in the community. The St Vincent DePaul

Food Bank is a wonderful example of this.

Their dedication and selflessness to serving our community is truly amazing.” said Zach Martin, site lead at Jerseyville, in the news release. “The Jerseyville Bayer site is honored to support St. Vincent DePaul Food Bank with this Bayer Fund grant.”

In 2019, Bayer Fund awarded more than $1.4 million through this program to nonprofit organizations in rural communities to help address essential needs in Food & Nutrition, STEM Education, and Community Development, the release reads.

Lemonade stand raised $2,000 “Like” Us for classmate with brain cancer Local boys ran a lemonade stand on the Fourth of July for a classmate with cancer.

The stand generated $2,000.

According to a news release, Carson and Cooper Ray, both age 6, and 6 year-old Knox and 2-yearold Merrik Hamilton hosted a lemonade stand for their classmate, Kailey Almeter, who was diagnosed with stage four brain cancer. They go to Jerseyville West Elementary School.

Kailey was diagnosed a cancer called Glioblastoma before her third birthday.

The lemonade stand was preceded by a fundraiser that ended with $17,410.

As of Aug. 3, Kailey has been home from the hospital for a little over a week now, according to a Facebook page detailing her fight with cancer, Kailey Kicks Cancer.

She did go back to the hospital Thursday for a follow up MRI of her brain.

The post on Aug. 3 said her tumor was stable but the ventricles in her head were larger then they were when we had left the hospital, which was not what was expected. Clinically, she’s doing well, though.

Further updates on her progress can be found on the Facebook page.

t is a scary time.

Places such as a schools were not seen as sites where large scale carnage could take place. And yet, news of more mass shootings in these and other public areas seems to grow.

The most recent instances of violence took place last weekend in the cities of El Paso, Texas, and Dayton, Ohio. These shootings left at least 31 dead and about 50 injured. It was news that has already garnered a collective sigh and recurring comments like, “Another one?”

The villains of the world seemed to have found out that attacking these public and often peaceful places is a good way to senselessly extinguish the most lives.

It is a sad state of affairs.

Fortunately in response to these tragedies, school districts nationally have made efforts to be more proactive and have taken these tragic events and other safety concerns seriously. It is comforting to know the Jersey Community School District is on that list.

There is a litany of big and small projects that took place over the summer. Among the most important projects centered on safety of the student body.

While students have been out, school crews have been continuing a project from last year to restructure their entrances to ensure someone off the street will not have ability to just walk about the hallways before going through the front office.

This year, it was Jerseyville East Elementary School that got the lion’s share of changes. The school has ensured guests and returning students have one focal point to flood into. Other schools in the district received these changes last year.

Beyond the physical protections, Jersey Community High School has repurposed a set of rooms above the entrance to the school as the Learning Lab for credit recovery, social and emotional health and in-school suspensions. This center, according to officials, will serve to bolster graduation rates and keep students in school, but also will tap into a growing interest by educators in combating problems that arise from a lack of social and emotional growth. Apart from the facts and figures, the school district, at least on the surface, looks to be showing a greater interest in supporting students on a deeper level, their mental health.

Of course, these changes going into the upcoming school year will not remove entirely a chance for danger in the schools, shooting-related or otherwise.

However, it is appreciated that efforts are being made to protect people, namely students—that something is being done.

The same cannot be said at the federal level.

How comfortable are you with the nation’s election security?

I feel election security today is strong.

I think it is too easy to tamper with elections today.

I have some concerns, but I am ultimately confident in the security.

I could not care less either way.

YOUR VIEWS We’re different — we have guns TO THE EDITOR: The United States of America is unique— unique because we just had our 251st mass shooting of 2019.

More mass shootings than days. This does not happen elsewhere. Many major countries of the world have no mass shootings, and none come close to the number here.

Politicians and the NRA like to try and point to reasons for the mass shootings, but they are not caused by the internet, the media, video games, lack of prayer or mental health issues.

People from other countries have mental illness, they play video games and use the internet, but none have the mass shootings.

What we do have that is different is guns.

The US makes up 4 percent of the world’s population but we own 46 percent of the world’s guns. Some push the idea of more guns: “the good guy with a gun taking care of the bad guy with a gun,” which is ridiculous. TX and OH both have lax gun laws, both allow concealed carry.

In OH, police responded in a mere 32 seconds, but that was long enough for the shooter to kill 9 and injure 27 others thanks to a high capacity assault rifle. The assault weapons used in almost every mass shooting are legal. assault style weapons are not used for personal safety or hunting. AR 15’s and AK 47’s are used to kill people. No one, and I repeat No one, is trying to outlaw guns in this country.

There are, however, many common sense regulations that most people could agree on. HR8 was passed in the House of Representatives in February. This bill establishes new background check requirements for firearm transfers between private parties.

Mitch McConnell has bragged about how he has not allowed this bill to come to a vote in the Senate. Red flag laws allow law enforcement, family members, and other concerned parties to petition a judge to confiscate guns from individuals who may cause harm to themselves or others.

The NRA has fought each recent red flag law enacted. One of Donald Trump’s earliest actions in office was in February 2017, when he signed a bill into law rolling back an Obama-era regulation that made it harder for people with mental illnesses to purchase a gun. Even being on the FBI’s Terrorist Screening Database doesn’t disqualify a person from purchasing a weapon.

I used to think that a mass shooting could never happen here, or that I would not be affected by gun violence. I now believe that I will eventually be touched by gun violence as it is so prevalent.

There are approximately 400 million guns in circulation in the US. There are almost no regulations on guns. There is no license required for any type of gun ownership. Gun lobbies and the NRA spent more than 55 million dollars to elect Donald Trump and NRA allies in 2016, allowing them to wield a huge amount of power against gun laws. It is time for some common sense gun regulation, the people of this country deserve better.

JODY REYNOLDS Jerseyville, Ill.

unting season is upon us again.

In my home state of Tennessee, squirrel season opens at the end of August and dove season on the first day of September. This is a great time to introduce young and new hunters to the shooting sports. Many times, deer season comes and goes without a single shot being fired.

And sometimes this can be discouraging for those who are excited about pulling the trigger.

These early, small game seasons allow hunters to shoot until their shoulder gets sore. I love being the guide on these hunts.

My trips during these seasons are usually with someone who has just started hunting.

It’s enjoyable to see a smile come on their face, and the spontaneous ones are the best kind.

It seems that I always want to say, “I told you so. I told you that you’d love it.

I told you it would be all that I said and more.”

It’s fun being right. I still can’t get over the feeling I get when I enter the woods with a gun or a bow. It’s even greater knowing that, after all my years of hunting, that feeling is never going to leave.

I used to wonder if the passion would wane after a few years. After all, I have rushed into other things, only to have the newness wear off over a period of time.

Hunting has always been different, though.

Grafton Harbor issue is not over TO THE EDITOR: On May 1, 2019, I attended a special city council meeting held at the City Hall of Grafton. As a slip holder my concern is what are the intentions of the city towards Grafton Harbor.

A most unusual piece of business was passed. The city had requested that the city property needed to be cleaned up in the harbor area, namely a fenced-in tool and storage shed area. The mandate was honored by the DeSherlias, and they were actively doing just that when on March 7, 2018, a stop work order was issued.

At this May council meeting it was voted 4-3 to continue the stop work order. The mayor cast the deciding vote. The city had also placed “No Trespassing” signs around the above-mentioned area. Also, at this meeting, it was voted to keep the signs around the area with a 4-3 vote, the mayor again casting the deciding vote. There is no way they can honor the city’s request without fear of being arrested.

At present, there are over 100 city owned lots. If anyone has a boat, trailer, or car parked on any of these city owned lots, you could be charged a city tax or fine, or asked to remove whatever you own from that property. If the mayor starts to clean up all city property, then he is treating everyone the same. What is good for one is good for all. If he does not, then there are obvious alternate plans for the Grafton Harbor Marina.

GEORGE P. HATFILL Jerseyville, Ill.

Thrills of hunting season have yet to get old H

Reporters: Carmen Ensinger

I know men that have hunted for years, who still have a hard time sleeping on the night before opening day.

It’s the adult version of Christmas Eve. The visions of sugarplums are in the form Outdoor of apples and persimmons. The present Truths under the tree is a fat

BY GARY doe or a big buck. Our Santa Claus is the true MILLER God of creation who has given all of us the gift of rolling hills, beautiful mountains, sparkling streams and an abundance of wildlife. I stand amazed and in awe of the masterpiece of his design.

I don’t ever want to take it for granted.

I am thankful for my eyes that can see it.

I am thankful for my ears that can hear it.

I am thankful that I can smell the sweet breath of God. And, I am thankful for a mind that cannot understand why he is so good to me.

HELP WANTED General Assignment Reporter )8// 7,0(

5 Years Ago August 6, 2014 After more than 50 years, a Jerseyville pharmacy has closed its doors upon the retirement of its last pharmacist. Rupert Greeling, Bray Drug pharmacist, has worked for more than 45 years. During the past few, he said he has been seeking a buyer for the business, who would continue the long pharmacy tradition in the building. “I couldn’t find anybody that wanted to buy the store as an ongoing business,� Greeling said. The end of the 100 block of North State Street where Bray Drug is located has housed a pharmacy for more than 100 years, he added. Greeling said he was still a pharmacy school student when he started at Bray Drug Store.

100 received a glimmer of positive news this week concerning funding from the state for the district’s pre-K program. On Monday, the district was notified the Illinois State Board of Education would raise the district’s pre-K funding to 90 percent.

District officials initially thought the ISBE would only be funding that particular program at just 66 percent.

Applications are wanted in Grafton as the city is looking to hire three, full-time police officers for its police department.

Bless a Teacher fundraiser fills bus After a month in the Walmart parking lot, a bus was filled with school supplies to go toward teachers in Jersey County.

For five years during the month of July, a school bus sat at the Walmart as part of a fundraiser organized by the Got Faith Ministry in Jersey for local teachers, said Steve Pegram, ministry founder.

During that month, community mem-

bers put school supplies from backpacks to paper towels to tissues to antibacterial soap that then will be handed out to local teachers at the Got Faith Festival Aug. 16-17.

“It is geared toward the teachers, and they trickle it down to the kids,” Pegram said. “It is to help support our teachers. The teachers at school—they have to take money our of their own pockets to buy stuff for kids that don’t

have anything. This is to help differ that.”

This year, Pegram said the bus was “stuffed” this year. The ministry saw many more donations than in previous years. It came as no surprise to Pelgram.

“Our community is just awesome,” Pelgram said. “You ask and they are there.”

One out of every 10 teachers will get a prize along with the supplies.

Library hosts scavenger hunt A city scavenger hunt is slated ahead of upcoming school year as back-toschool event.

The Jerseyville Public Library is organizing the hunt scheduled to run from 3-7 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 8, at Wock Lake, located at 1301 E Spruce St. Attendees will receive a scavenger hunt list and be encouraged to read a story written in celebration of the city’s and county’s history, according to a news release

Celebrating the 185th anniversary of the City of Jerseyville and the 180th of Jersey County, Beth McGlasson, vice president of the Jersey County Historical Society, has written and illustrated a book for Storywalk.

Storywalk is a program encouraging reading and the outdoors. Laminated pages from a children’s book are attached to wooden stakes, which are installed along an outdoor path. As one strolls down the trail, they are directed to

the next page in the story.

There will be five places to identify and visit in Jerseyville on the list, according to the news release. At each location, participants will get to pick up an item geared for those going back to school.

When they have gathered all five, they will then end their journey at the library.

Everyone participating will receive a treat and one free book from the Friends of the Library book sale room.

No registration is required.

Historical Society working to create vetran memorial Group seeks photos of local men who died in service The Jersey County Historical Society is working on creating a veteran’s memorial for those Jersey County men who died while in service to our country from the beginning of WWI to the present.

To do so, members of the society are calling on locals to send in photos of these men, according to a news release.

“We want to use the photos to create a memorial,” Beth McGlasson, vice president of the Historical Society, stated in the release. “As they say, a picture is worth a thousand words. We can list that SP4 Michael D. McClain was killed in Vietnam in 1968, but when we include a photo of Michael, you see he was a sandy-headed teen with an ear-to-ear grin that suggests he had a great sense of humor – and whose life ended way too soon.”

The release says the inspiration for the project was an epitaph written by John Maxwell Edmonds during WWI that reads, “When you go home, tell them of us and say, For your tomorrow, we gave our today.”

McGlasson added, “Since the beginning of WWI, 162 local men have sacrificed their lives while serving our country. Some never had a chance to marry or take over the family farm. Others never got to watch their children grow up, say good-bye to their parents, or retire and enjoy the life they dreamed of. Their sacrifices should never be forgotten. ” Those with photos of a serviceman are asked to share by contacting McGlasson at 498-3824 or dnb-mcglasson@gtec.com or the Historical Society at 498-3514. Photos can be scanned and returned.
