Moore named Illinoisan of the Day

By MARk PACE Jersey County Journal

W

hile Jerseyville resident Tom Moore’s work with fairs across Illinois extends year round, he will be the state’s man of the day Monday, Aug. 17.

Moore, a farmer in Jersey County, was named Illinoisan of the Day by the The Illinois State Fair Museum.

He will be honored at 11 a.m. that morning at the Illinois Department of Agriculture tent during the state fair.

“I was very humbled,” Moore said.

“I was baling straw. I was driving on the tractor when they called me and told me. I think humbled is an accurate word to use.”

For more than 50 years, Tom Moore has been a staple of the Jersey County Fair. He hasn’t missed a year

since he began showing animals in 1963 when he was 9 years old.

Moore has been the treasurer of the Jersey County Fair for 28 years, on the fair board for 33 years, served on 4-H councils and foundations and was the president of Jersey County Grain.

Some of his most recent work came at the state level. As treasurer of the Jersey County Fair, Moore had to fight to keep county fairs properly funded. While the state government continued making cuts, Moore went to the House of Representatives in Springfield to testify about the importance of county fairs.

The county fairs cost the state $4 million. For local economies, that money is more than recuperated, Moore said. The $4 million investment by the state turned into $170 million in revenue for local economies, according to a study done

by Moore, who also serves as cen-

The recent flood damaged the historic Goldenrod Showboat. The boat was originally made to endure five to 10 years of use, but lasted to be 106 years old. The boat will be scrapped and used to make a riverboat museum in St. Louis.

Goldenrod Showboat to be scrapped

By MARk PACE Jersey County Journal The 106-year-old Goldenrod Showboat will be scrapped after the recent flood buckled the hull on both sides of the boat.

Damage occurred after floodwater sunk the barge and the boat was moved.

The Historic Riverboat Preservation Association, which was working to preserve the boat, moved the vessel to what it believed to be flat land, Jacob Medford, HRPA vice president, said. However, when water subsided, the land was not flat and the boat buckled.

“We were trying to save it from the flood and ended up hurting it,” Medford said.

“That’s the worst part. All of the intentions were good.”

The Historic Riverboat Preservation Association held an emergency board meeting Tuesday, Aug. 4 to decide what to do with the boat.

The interior of the boat will be salvaged and used to open a riverboat museum in St. Louis, Medford said. If opened, the museum will feature many boats with the Goldenrod as the focus.

“Surprisingly, St. Louis was built by the river, but there is no riverboat museum in the city,” Medford said. “That’s what we want to

“We were trying to save it from the flood and ended up hurting it. That’s the worst part. All of the intentions were good.”

Jacob Medford HRPA vice president add. There’s so many historical showboats, riverboats and steamboats that went through St. Louis and we want to honor all of them at once. But with a little favoritism for the Goldenrod.”

Things are moving quickly for Medford and the organization, he said, and they are still assessing the situation and working on the details.

“I really want to help with the youth and agriculture,” Moore said.

“The livestock out at the fair are a big part of my life. They were there for me growing up and still are … That’s where I get my biggest enjoyment. It’s from watching young people grow up, develop, participate in shows and seeing what it does for them in life.”

By BOB CROSSEN Jersey County Journal The Grafton City Council and its mayor eased differences in approaches to approving a business license for a fish business, American Meixi Fishing Industry, Inc., near Grafton Hills Drive during a regular meeting Aug. 11.

Alderman Jerry Bauersachs said he was frustrated with Mayor Tom Thompson’s approach because it went against the city’s prior protocols of having the business owner come to the meeting for license approval.

That policy was set in place at the request of former Alderman Charles Linnemeyer when he was still a member of the board. Thompson approved the license for the new business without following that policy and without full council approval.

“I’m sorry, Mayor. I’m just a little frustrated because we didn’t know anything about the license for the fish plant at the last meeting until we got our agenda on Friday and you had been working with them for weeks before,” Bauersachs said, noting he was not questioning Thompson’s authority on the matter, but rather the way it had been handled.

Mayor Tom Thompson said he attended a meeting during which the proprietor of AMFI discussed potential

leasing options with American Heartland Fish Products, which had established a fish plant on Illinois Route 3 last year, but was later closed due to an odor nuisance.

The company received grant money for its building from the state, which is administered through the city of Grafton, and AHFP approved to lease the building to the new fishing business.

Bauersachs said he would have liked the state to be aware of the situation to better understand how the loan would be paid back, and Thompson said the meeting he attended did not result in any concrete agreements.

“At those meetings, they were discussing whether or not they could lease it, what they would have to do in terms of hiring fishermen and there was a host of issues. At that meeting, there wasn’t any decision made,” Thompson said. “I had nothing of substance to say after those meetings other than to check the viability of the man who was really funding all of this in China.”

Getting the business owner to a regular meeting, Thompson said, would have been difficult for the businessman who traveled to Grafton from California about the potential for leasing the building.

Drainers raise brain disorder awareness

By MARk PACE Jersey County Journal When Tess Drainer was diagnosed with a rare brain disorder three years ago, her family knew something needed to be done.

Five years ago, Tess Drainer’s cousin, Aaron Prough, started the Tess Drainer Benefit to raise money.

While the original goal was to help with expenses for other medical issues that have followed Tess Drainer, 10, all of her life, the event is now held to raise awareness about Tess’ disorder, Bilateral Perisylian Polymicrogyria, with which she was diagnosed three years ago.

This year’s event will be held Aug. 15 at the Jerseyville American Legion Fairgrounds.

BPP is a blanket disorder that has led to other medical issues, her mother, Carol Drainer, said. In 2005, when Tess was born, there were only 40 other people known to have the disorder.

“We’re just trying to raise awareness right now,” Carol said. “We have people coming from everywhere that just want to help her. But it’s more than just her. It’s all

those other families out there who need help.”

Prough is a professional wrestler in Texas better known as the “300 lb Manimal.” Prough and some of his wrestling companions travel to the Jerseyville American Legion Saturday, Aug. 15 for a slightly toneddown, kid-friendly show.

“They are continuing to do this so we can get some recognition for her brain disorder. We didn’t know about it until three years ago and that’s when we really started focusing on it,” Carol Drainer said. “We’re doing it for Tess to raise money for her, but we’re really trying to raise awareness for Bilateral Perisylian Polymicrogyria.”

According to the Office of Rare Diseases Research, BPP is a rare neurological disorder that affects the cerebral cortex, the outer surface of the brain. Signs and symptoms include partial paralysis of muscles on both sides of the face, tongue, jaw, and throat; difficulties in speaking, chewing, and swallowing; and/or seizures.

In most cases, mild to severe intellectual disability is also present.

Moore

(Continued from A1) The fair has been a family effort for Moore. His wife helps him as treasurer of the fair. His biggest enjoyment was watching his children, and now his grandchildren, show cattle.

Participating in fairs takes an effort from families, Moore said, and he is working to make it as feasible as possible for children in the community to participate in the fair.

“I want to help,” Moore said. “It takes a little bit to get started. It takes the family to invest in the money and time to buy the animals.”

The 4-H livestock committee, of which Moore is a member, worked to help families with financial burden by donating time, money and holding an auction.

The state fair is Aug. 14 to Aug. 23. Each day will have an Illinoisan of the Day. Moore will be named Illinoisan of the Day the fourth day of the fair. For those wishing to attend, the grandstand event that night will be Million Dollar Quartet with Scott Laytham and Karl Holmes Duo. It is the only night of the fair with free admission to the grandstand.

The council also approved a contract for concrete replacement after amending the terms during a suspension of the rules.

Alderman Roger Crone said the terms of the agreement would set a precedence for the council in that it would require a performance bond, noting the entire contract was 300 pages.

“When you get a job done, you’ll have more money spent on the attorney and the engineer than the person doing the work, and before, you never had anything like that,” Crone said.

City Engineer Bob Masa from Juneau Associates said some terms of the contract drafted by the firm he represents are negotiable, and the council suspended the rules to remove the portion regarding a performance bond. It unanimously approved the contract after the amendment was made.

The council also approved to let bids for street repair in Grafton Hills to determine the cost of completing all repairs or only half of them.

If approved, the cost would be paid with money from the Grafton Hills fund in the city’s budget.

Streets in the hilltop city annex were not the only ones under scrutiny of improvement, however. Roger Crone noted several rough spots

throughout town and Masa indicated a solution to one near the Methodist Church, where he said the city could extend a concrete curb to divert water to a storm drain.

The association had a lease-to-own deal in place to buy the boat for $70,000 from Pool 24 Tug Service which had moored the boat in Kampsville. HRPA had paid $50,000 of the total sum.

The Goldenrod Showboat was build in 1909 and traveled through the Midwest.

The showboat could hold 1,500 people at its prime.

The current layout could seat 500 people for a show in its two-story theater. It is the largest and longest surviving original showboat, according to the Historic Riverboat Preservation Association.

The boat settled in St. Louis in 1937 and remained in the metropolitan area hosting shows until 2001 when it docked in Kampsville, its final resting place.

The Historic Riverboat Preservation Association

members are still in the planning period for a new museum. Several options have been discussed, but no final decision has been reached.

For now, the efforts of volunteers and association members are focused on removing the artifacts from the boat. The artifacts are being taken to St. Louis to store until the potential museum opens. The process of moving the artifacts will take about two or three months, Medford said. They are doing it all by hand and manpower, Medford said.

He asked for help and also gave thanks to those currently volunteering to remove artifacts. The project needs bubble wrap, boxes and more volunteers, and Medford is asking anyone who can donate the time or resources to do so by contacting the association through its website goldenrodshowboat. com. More information can also be found on Facebook.

Showboat (Continued from A1) The association’s board discussed several options, including cutting the boat into pieces and recreating it on land; building a replica using material from the original boat; and opening a museum. Fixing the damage and continuing to use it was also on the table, albeit costly.

“I wanted to move forward with saving the whole thing, but it’s [not feasible],” Medford said. “To do a restoration job on this would be tons and tons of money, and our resources won’t allow us to do that.”

At the meeting, the members decided the museum would be the best plan.

“It’s most feasible [to go with the museum option.]

It’s going to be something that anyone along the river can get behind. It’s not just the Goldenrod Showboat anymore,” Medford said.

“So far feedback from the public has been very pos-

It will feature food provided

Tess is always smiling and laughing, her mother said, and they are hoping the event

can be enjoyable for all.

Despite BPP, which also led to Cerebral Palsy, scholiosis, congestive heart failure and chronic lung issues, Tess remains happy and optimistic.

“She just smiles all the time,” Carol said. “No matter what’s going on, even in the hospital, she’s aways smiling.”

When Tess was in the hospital on a ventilator, she remained positive.

“Alarms were going off like crazy, and everyone came running in there,” her mother said. “They were like, ‘What’s happening.

What’s going on,’ and we just told them she had started laughing.”

The nurses told the family that children don’t usually enjoy the ventilator or laugh while it’s being used, Carol Drainer said.

“Well Tess does,” she said.

“They were amazed.”

The Niña docks outside the Loading Dock in Grafton. The ship is an exact replica of the original ship used on the voyages to the new world beginning in 1492. The Niña is joined by the Pinta and both are available for tours.

Pinta and Niña replica ships come to Grafton

By Mark Pace Jersey County Journal Replicas of the Pinta and Niña are docked in Grafton at the Loading Dock and are available to tour until their departure Aug. 17.

The two ships are replicas of the ships used by Christopher Columbus on his voyages across the Atlantic to the new world in 1492.

The ships docked in Grafton Aug. 6 as part of their travels. They serve as floating museums for people to come see how the early settlers traveled.

The Niña is an exact replica built to scale and began touring in 1992. The Pinta replica was finished in 2005 and was larger to accommodate larger crowds. The Niña’s deck is 65 feet long and had 24 original crew members while the Pinta replica measures at

85 feet long and had 26 original crew members. The original Pinta was about the same size as the Niña. The average crew member was 18 years old.

The ships circumnavigate the Eastern North American waterways, also known as the Great Loop. The volunteer crew travels 11 months of the year on the ships, alternating crew members. January served as a maintenance month this year.

The two vessels travel together without the largest ship of the original trip, the Santa María, which is too large to navigate much of the route taken by the crews through the Great Loop.

The cost of a tour is $8 for adults, $7 for seniors and $6 for children. Children 4 and under are free. The ships are owned by The Columbus Foundation.

Blue Crew pushes for school pride

By BoB crosseN Jersey County Journal It is only a matter of time before Panther Pride will swath Jerseyville in blue decorations and paint.

At least that is the hope of Erica Smith, Blue Crew coordinator, who will work with businesses and students to bring out school pride in the community throughout the school year.

The number one goal, she said, is teaching students and community members the school song.

“We really want everyone to be standing for the school song and singing it just as naturally as when you hear the national anthem,” Smith said.

Additionally, Smith said she would like to build the Panther Athletic Club membership and tie in its efforts in with the Blue Crew.

Bridging the connections between adult and student groups would create a positive network in the community, she added.

“Whenever kids can see and feel all that support, it sincerely makes a difference,” Smith said. “Kids don’t necessarily thank a business member for painting their storefronts, but whenever they walk through JCHS or you’re sitting in the classroom, the kids sincerely talk about that.”

In garnering support from others in the community, Smith said students are often more motivated to do well in the classroom.

Taking part in extracurricular activities has a similar effect, Smith said, adding it is never too late to join Blue Crew and volunteer to spread school pride.

Although there is a registration fee of $30, students

who sign up receive a free T-shirt and a card to enter all home athletic events for free.

During a meeting Aug. 10, Smith said she could hardly keep up with the line of students interested in signing up for Blue Crew.

That kind of enthusiasm, she said, is common for the program and Smith aims to extend that attitude to local businesses.

Prior to previous school years, numerous businesses along State Street – and other areas of town – decorated their storefronts with a Jersey Panther logo, the Just Be Jersey slogan or other decorations to show pride in the Jersey Community school district.

Smith said she wants to get more businesses involved this time by hosting a friendly competition with a community vote on the best decorated storefront.

Health centers seek creative solutions to cuts

By BoB Crossen Jersey County Journal While Illinois was ordered by a federal judge to fund health care providers, Illinois legislators consider cuts to Medicaid and other contributions for health services.

Local health care providers and senior care centers are not yet feeling a crunch from the proposals, but discussions on how to adapt to changes in funding have taken place.

Barb Ledder, Calhoun Nursing and Rehabilitation Center director, said the facility has been faced with other financial challenges in its time, but continues to remain a top-notch provider.

Ledder said the key is finding ways to maintain the same level of services while scouring for alternative revenue sources, even if that means increasing costs of some offerings.

“Finances are always a concern and our Medicaid budget is always a concern,” Ledder said. “I can tell you though that I will not decrease services because that budget has been cut. I’ll find another way.”

Although she is prepared to make changes to maintain care at the level of quality the center has always had, Ledder is hopeful the proposed cuts will see changes before the final state budget – the fiscal year of which began July 1 – is approved.

“The proposal would cut – as I understand it – across the board Medicaid which would affect the nursing homes, as well,” Ledder said. “Hopefully they’ll cut that piece out and not balance the budget on the backs of the elderly and young.”

She said the rehab center pays much closer attention to its budget in times of uncertainty, something Jersey Community Hospital has been doing for the past few years, Jon Wade, JCH CEO, said.

In fact, the hospital nixed its entire obstatrician wing because the cost to maintain the program outweighed the revenues it was bringing in. Wade said

the decision to close the birthing center still weighs on the community’s hearts.

“We still have people and volunteers here – they love this hospital and this community and they volunteer – but they are still upset about it,” Wade said. “We couldn’t afford it. What that program paid and what it cost to operate it, we couldn’t afford to sustain it anymore.”

He said cutting that part of the hospital out improved the healthcare facility’s finances, and noted remaining services are not in danger of similar cuts.

With the change, the hospital focused more on primary care services, cardiovascular programs and orthopedics, things which Wade said are needed by a majority of the community.

“These investments are solid and should not be impacted significantly by any reimbursement cuts,” Wade said in an email Monday. “However, future cuts would slow any additional investments in new services.”

Wade said most customers are not aware of the potential cuts to Medicaid, adding the hospital staff and administration is “numb to it because the future is always uncertain when the government is our largest payer.”

Jersey Community Hospital, he said, works with slim margins, making the cuts noticeable on his end. But despite the financial hardships, he said the hospital’s leaders have been flexible and frugal when needed.

“If cuts happen in the future, we will adapt to it and continue to provide good quality care,” Wade said in an email Monday. “I look forward to the days ahead as transparency in health care becomes more widespread. I believe JCH will stand out as an excellent value with very low cost of care and favorable quality outcomes.”

Maintaining high quality with cuts to funding presents businesses unique challenges, however, and Steve Miller, of Bridgemark Healthcare president, said it has been no different for Jerseyville Nursing and Rehabilitation Center, one of 11 nursing homes Miller

manages in Illinois.

Even before the proposed cuts were made, Miller said Illinois ranked second worst among all states in funding for nursing homes and senior care facilities.

“We were starting at the bottom of the barrel to begin this and that means … we’ve always had to be creative,” Miller said. “We get by by the non-Medicaid people. Medicare, private pay, commercial insurance, other payers that are funding residents in nursing homes have to make up that difference.”

It forces nursing homes to shift away from Medicaid services toward the other categories, which presents a problem for low-income citizens in Illinois, he said.

Those shifts also come with adjustments in staffing. Management, he said, becomes more directly involved with the day-to-day operations, and in some cases helps out staff members with their work. In worst case scenarios, however, he said employees are cut from the payroll.

Cuts to funding directly impacts employees because their salaries are the largest expense for nursing homes.

With fewer employees, finding highly qualified candidates becomes more important.

“We try to support the staff with more training, actually having them more knowledgeable in the job,” Miller said. “A lot of it then becomes making sure that we are able to hire the best employees in the market. We just don’t have room for kind of a mediocre staff member at this point. Everybody has to be top-notch at their job, highly productive and knowledgeable.”

But while entry into employment at nursing homes may require greater credentials, it often results in high quality of care, Miller said.

Providing such care is a mark of pride for local facilities, and they hope to retain that pride in spite of potential cutbacks proposed in Illinois’ budget.

Residents voted for the best picture or to support their local district through a Facebook poll.

Q.E.M. won the $1,250 grand prize.

Godfrey also received money for getting second place and plans to buy new EMS equipment bags and hand tools for apparatus maintenance with the funds.

Jersey County receives positive audit

By Mark PaCe Jersey County Journal The Jersey County Board received a positive review from a recent audit.

Danny Phipps of Sheffel Boyle & Company, which conducted the audit, presented the board with its findings during the Aug. 11 board meeting.

“The [county] financial statements are presented fairly,” Phipps said.

“Overall, the audit went well. We had good cooperation with the office holders and the employees.”

The report covered much of 2014, before the current board was elected. The audit shows a positive review of the time period for both the previous board and the current board.

While governments struggle to receive funding, the Jersey County Board has watched funds carefully and managed to steer clear of going deep into a deficit.

“In governmental world,

every government is a struggle,” Phipps said. “Your resources are limited, and most governments are struggling right now.”

However, Phipps added the Jersey County government had a “fairly substantial” sum of money to operate.

The audit showed the total cost of operations in the county to be about $11,000 a day. With an end of the year fund balance of $1,283,672, the county government could operate for 116 days without receiving aid or tax revenue. That total is up 16 days from last year.

“That could be due to timing, but it could also be because you cut back and watched your expenses, so you have that headed the right direction,” Phipps said. “So that’s a positive note.”

The county board had a deficit of roughly $415,000 in the general fund before money, mainly from taxes, was transferred to the

account. After the transfer, the account had an excess of cash receipts over cash disbursements and other financing sources of $241,000.

It has been the aim of county officials on both sides of the political party in Jersey County to watch spending and work within its means, Chairman Don Little said.

“We have countywide officials and a board that watches expenditures and maintains a rather frugal hand with their respective budgets,” Little said.

“Jersey County, I think, has been lucky in having elected officials who mind their budgets and spend frugally, and that’s individuals on both sides of political parties.”

This year’s report is consistent with previous reports the board has received, which show the county government spending frugally and avoiding any significant deficits, he added.

ith how much the community rallies behind its county fair, it should not come as a surprise the Jersey County Fair treasurer would be honored during the Illinois State Fair.

Tom Moore will be named Illinoisan of the Day Monday, Aug. 17 at the Illinois State Fair through a proclamation from Gov. Bruce Rauner.

Although he never looks for a pat on the back, Moore is an excellent choice for the designation as he has been a fighting force for not only the Jersey County Fair, but all county fairs.

When the Illinois General Assembly began cutting funds for county fairs throughout the state, Moore traveled to the capitol to testify on behalf of fair boards. He knows how important the week-long event is for Jersey County, and how that attitude is held in other counties throughout Illinois.

He was a large reason why the Jersey County Fair was able to gain funding before the state’s budget standoff froze funds.

Without the work of Moore, the future of the Jersey County Fair would look dim. However, the fair continued, resulting in profits for the entire community.

A study, done partly by Moore, found county fairs infused $170 million into local economies in Illinois, a statistic he used in expressing the importance of fairs to communities.

Jersey County reaped those benefits, too, as thousands drove to the fairgrounds each day to spend money and enjoy the entertainment thanks in large part to the work done by Moore.

Moore’s work expands to other areas of the community and reaches vastly across the county, as well. He currently serves and has served on 4-H councils and foundations, and he was the president of Jersey County Grain. He also works as central zone director at large and was a former president of Illinois State Association of County Fairs.

While these tasks alone are too much for many, it isn’t enough for Moore as he still maintains his full-time work as a farmer.

In fact, he received word he would be Illinoisan of the Day when driving his tractor on a day he was baling hay. That agricultural dedication is a great way to represent Jerseyville and Jersey County.

The language of flowers W

e may all have heard of the language of flowers, but the cryptology of plants has been a part of many cultures for thousands of years. Floriography has been a way of communicating a coded message via plants and flowers throughout history, literature, and even in Bible scripture. In Japan it is called Hanakotoba. In England a 19th century poem said it well: –The Language of Flowers, London, 1875– “There is a language, little known, Lovers claim it as their own.

Its symbols smile upon the land, Wrought by nat-ure’s wondrous hand; And in their silent beauty speak, Of life and joy, to those who seek For Love Divine and sunny hours In the language of the flowers.”

Often flowers were used to convey a message, but plants of all types could convey a message without speaking words.

In my article this time I thought I would list some of these symbolic plant translations. Most of us have heard somewhere that the color of a rose can convey a secret message to the person it is

given. For example: white roses are associated with birth and innocence and are traditionally associated with marriages and new beginnings.

Red roses are used to say, “I love you,” and also stand for courage and respect. Pink symbolizes grace, sophistication and friendship. Yellow roses express jealousy and more recently also convey friendship.

There are also many other flowers that can send a message. Daisies mean innocence and hope, a carnation says joy, chrysanthemums send cheer, a daffodil shows respect, peonies send compassion, snapdragons symbolize strength and the list goes on and on.

Many of the plants we see during the Christmas season also have meanings. Laurel symbolizes the victory of God over the Devil. Pines convey pity and hope, holly means happiness at home, ivy sends the message of affection, wintergreen means harmony, the poinsettia flower and leaves are sometimes thought of as a symbol of the Star of Bethlehem which led the Wise Men to Jesus. The red colored leaves symbolize the blood of Christ. Of course we all know the meaning of mistletoe.

Herbs also can have special meanings. Basil sends good wishes, love and

wealth. It is thought to be a magic herb for money and success, a happy family, and a peaceful home, also used to drive away the “Evil Eye. “ Dill means power, money and luck. Dill seed was used to make a person irresistible to the person they desired.

Lavender means longevity, peace and happiness. Mint provides protection and healing and is thought to break magic spells and jinxes.

Oregano symbolizes love and honor. Parsely, sage, rosemary, and thyme have been revered in song. Parsley says purification, sage says wisdom, rosemary gives healing and thyme gives courage and strength.

Native Americans have even given symbolic meanings to trees. The oak we know symbolizes strength of character but also courage.

The willow symbolizes inner wisdom and strength of age and experience. The walnut symbolizes clarity and focus.

The maple is the tree of offering, generosity, balance, and promise.

So the next time you “say it with flowers,” keep in mind the world has been doing this for a long, long time. n Bonna Downey is a

Master Gardener and a resident of Grafton.

Outdoor Truths: Gary Miller

Hunting is the adult version of Christmas Eve Hunting 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.

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 really enjoyable to see a smile come on their face, and the spontaneous ones are the best kind. It seems I always want to say, “I told you so. I told you that you’d love it. I told you that it would be all that I said, and more.” It’s fun being right.

I still can’t get over the feeling that I get when I enter the woods with a gun or a bow.

And it’s even greater knowing that after all of 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 in to other things only to have the newness wear off over a period of time.

Hunting has always been different. 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 of apples and persimmons. The present under the tree is a fat doe or a big buck. Our Santa Claus, however, is the true living 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 Outdoor my ears that Truths can hear it.

I am thankBY GARY ful that I MILLER can smell the sweet breathe of God. And I am thankful for a mind that cannot understand why He is so good to me. n Gary Miller is an outdoorsman from Harrowgate, Tenn. He serves as a pro staff member for several huntingrelated companies and also speaks at game dinners and other hunting and fishing venues about faith and the outdoors.

YOUR VIEWS arships the brightest minds were given every opportunity to advance. Science and research flourished and new knowledge was being generated. Not just in the race to space, but in medicine, arms and weapons, transportation, and communication, not to forget IBM started making computers in the ‘50s.

The second event in 1957 was much more subtle and not noticed as a shift from the industrial age to the information age. The employment of more people in white collar positions was greater than the number of people employed as blue collar workers. That is, more people made their living by handling, disseminating, storing, and recording information than people

1957 was the turning point TO THE EDITOR: On Oct. 4, 1957 the Soviet Union successfully launched Sputnik 1, the world’s first artificial satellite. That launch ushered in new political, military technological, and scientific developments. While the Sputnik launch was a single event, it marked the start of the space age and NASA was created. Sputnik alone was not the concern of America but the rocket that carried it meant that the USSR could now reach the United States with an ICBM ballistic missile and the Cold War was part of every American’s fears.

The emphasis on science and math became the priority of every college and university across this nation.

working in the manufacturing of products. The need to minimize miles of file cabinets became a priority, and so computer technology started to be used to a much greater extent by the government, military, and industry. Please remember that it wasn’t until 1975 that the first computers were made available to the public.

To understand just how technology affects us you must first know what generation group you belong to. In my next letter I will try to give you feel of the impact of change and what your generation grew up with.

Sharon Clagg joins U of I Extension staff as Macoupin, Jersey County SNAP-ED Community Worker Amanda Cole, Unit 18 County Extension Director, is pleased to introduce Sharon Clagg as the new Macoupin and Jersey SNAPED Community Worker. She will be working throughout Macoupin and Jersey counties to provide nutritional programming.

Clagg attended Lewis and Clark Community College, and received an Associate’s Degree in Early Childhood Education. She also earned a Bachelor’s Degree in Elementary Education and a minor in Psychology from Blackburn College, and attended University of Phoenix/Online for a Masters of Management.

She is from Jersey Country, where she was a member of 4-H, and has spent the last two decades as a preschool director, and then managed CILA homes for handicapped through Illinois Valley. Nutrition and edu-

cation were a vital part of both of those fields. Clagg says, “Teaching young children good nutritional habits is important in laying the foundation for healthy lifestyles into their adult years.”

In her spare time she is often found with her grandchildren ages 2 and 4, and enjoys crafting, sewing, gardening, scrapbooking, reading and cooking new recipes.

Clagg added, “I hope I am able to bring a new approach and increase education for adults and children through the SNAP food program.

Assisting others in learning how to improve their health through nutrition is going to be very exciting.”

Clagg is looking forward to meeting everyone and getting started with programs in August. Anyone interested in contacting Sharon may reach her at the Macoupin County Extension office by calling 217-854-9604, or emailing

Parents encouraged to include emergency preparedness in back-to-school plans August is School and Campus Preparedness Month in Illinois As parents prepare to send their children back to school or college, the Illinois Emergency Management Agency (IEMA) and local emergency management agencies throughout Illinois are encouraging them to include emergency preparedness in their back-to-school plans.

“Disasters can happen anytime of the day, even when children are in school or daycare,” said IEMA Director James K. Joseph. “Take a few minutes to find out how your child’s school will handle emergencies and talk to your child about how your family will communicate after a disaster.”

Joseph offered several back-to-school planning tips for parents of school-aged children, including: Know your child’s school or day care emergency plan.

Find out where children will be taken in the event of an evacuation during school hours.

Ensure your current emergency contact

information is on file at your child’s school.

Pre-authorize a friend or relative to pick up your children in an emergency and make sure the school knows who that designated person is.

Teach children with cell phones about ‘Text First, Talk Later.’ Short, simple text messages, such as “R U OK?” and “I’m OK,” are more likely to get through than a phone call if phone service is disrupted following an emergency. As phone congestion eases, you can follow up with a phone call to relay more information.

Many college campuses offer email and text messages to alert students of potential dangers, such as severe weather and other threats. Encourage your college student to sign-up for such alerts. Some colleges also provide alert messages for parents so they also are aware of potential dangers on campus. In addition, make sure your student knows the emergency plans for their dorm or apartment building.

Additional preparedness information is available on the Ready Illinois website at Ready.Illinois.gov.

After a long marathon of progressing through implementation of the 2015 Farm Bill, the Jersey/Calhoun County FSA office is now ready for contract enrollment for both the 2014 and the 2015 ARC/PLC programs. The enrollment period officially began on June 17 and will continue through Sept. 30.

Many producers have

commented that they “thought they had already signed up.” Please remember that this has been a multi-phase process. Last winter owners were given the opportunity to update program yields and decide whether or not to reallocate base acres. Producers were then given the choice to elect which program each farm would be in for

crop years 2014 through 2018; however, the enrollment period and software just became available in late June. FSA is now in the enrollment and final stage for the 2014 and 2015 crop years.

Please visit the office, verify payment shares and sign the FSA-861 contracts for 2014 and 2015 prior to the Sept. 30 deadline.

Panthers making special teams special

Kory Carpenter/Jersey County Journal

Jersey coaches Scott Burney and Scott Woelfel talk to a tired group of players following Wednesday’s practice. the panthers are expected to work on mostly conditioning the next two weeks.

Kory Carpenter/Jersey County Journal

Jersey players take turns carrying teammates across the JCHS soccer field Wednesday. the panthers begin the season aug. 29 in the Carlinville Classic.

Lofty expectations for Jersey soccer

By Kory Carpenter Jersey County Journal The goal for the 2015 Jersey soccer team is simple.

Win every game.

Fifth-year head coach Scott Burney realizes that is not necessarily realistic, but knows if there is ever a time for positive thinking, it is during the hot summer days when players are doing more running than juggling, passing and scoring.

“It’s a pretty big goal but we want to win them all because that means we finished the year on a win, which is a state championship,” Burney said Wednesday morning as his players ran sprints on the JCHS soccer field. “That’s a lofty goal but we try to give those positive thoughts to kids.”

The Panthers return all but two starters from a team that won the regional championship a year ago and will be expected to have similar success in 2015.

The Panthers bounced back from two lopsided regular season losses to Triad, beating the Knights in the regional final, 1-0.

To prepare for this season, Burney took his players to the St. Louis varsity showcase in O’Fallon, Mo. over the summer.

The event featured some of the best high school teams across Missouri and eastern Kansas, including Francis Howell Central (third place in Missouri last season) Rockburst (fourth) and Desoto, Ks., which finished fourth in its class.

The Panthers finished the event with a 1-1-2 record.

“We were happy with what we saw down there,” Burney said. “It was a nice

SPORTS

time to get away and not play the same people you always play.”

He added, “You can find out if kids are ready to play at that varsity level or not.

Some kids aren’t ready, which isn’t a bad thing. We would rather find out in the summer than find out in a big conference game.”

Some of the players impressed coaches, despite their youth.

“Alan Wendell is a young sophomore who is going to help us out a little bit, definitely by mid-season,” Burney said. “And Jake Ridenhour was our leading scorer on JV last season and stepped right in and competed well over there.

He is injured right now but should be OK by the start of season.”

Burney said he wants to continue to work on conditioning and does not plan on working on too many game situations until a few days before the first game, Aug. 29 in the Carlinville Classic.

“We feel that if we’re in better shape and stronger than everybody else,” he said, “we will survive until we catch up.”

There appears to be five varsity spots available, and the veteran presence should help the Panthers as they look to repeat as regional champions. ”But we’re not very deep,” Burney said. “We get very young very quickly.”

For now, Burney and his players will continue to prepare for Aug. 29 with a bit of a target on their backs.

“We’re a veteran group that needs to work hard all the time because they are used to winning,” Burney said. “All they know is winning, and I think they think it’s easier than it really is.”

goes great with a cup of coffee

By Kory Carpenter Jersey County Journal Without the ability to don full pads until Wednesday in accordance with IHSA rules, the Jersey Panthers football team used Monday and Tuesday’s practices to focus almost exclusively on special teams as it prepares for the season opener Aug. 28 at Granite City.

The Panthers worked on every facet of special teams, from onside kicks and field goal kicking to long snapping and punting.

“We’re really emphasizing special teams these first few days and it has been awesome,” head coach Dave Jacobs said. “The attitude has been great and kids have been flying around.”

Jacobs said he emphasizes special teams because he believes it can be the difference between a win or a loss early in the season as teams continue to work out kinks.

This was most evident when a number of potential offensive and defensive starters lined up on the onside kick return team and field goal unit.

“We want kids to want to be on special teams,” Jacobs said. “It’s not a time to just put somebody in there. Our best guys are going to be on the field during that time.”

A successful special teams unit, according to Jacobs, means teams will have to take time out of their practice week to focus on that unit instead of just offense or defense.

“We make special teams special,” he said. “One of our

goals is to make our opponents prepare for all three phases against us.”

Junior kicker Ryan Herkert is expected to retain his job in 2015.

Herkert, who also plays on the Jersey soccer team, kicked a 20-yard gamewinner last year against Waterloo.

The Panthers were expected to practice in full pads Wednesday and Thursday mornings and afternoons before taking Friday morning off.

A Saturday morning practice is scheduled and the regular school schedule begins next week leading up to a scrimmage Friday, Aug. 21.

“It’s exciting for me because you finally get everybody here, and that’s a great

feeling,” Jacobs said. “Kids have other things going on in the summer time and it’s hard to really get stuff in because

you’re missing so many, so It’s exciting to finally get here and step on the gas a little bit.”

Enrollment opens for 4-H

Are you a young person between the ages of 5 and 18? Do you have a hobby? Do you like learning new things? If so, 4-H has dozens of opportunities that you should not pass up. 4-H is a fun-filled youth development program that allows youth to learn and compete in a variety of project areas.

Some think that 4-H is just farming and livestock, but

it’s more than agriculture.

4-H is a youth development program that offers projects in electricity, woodworking, computers, visual arts, robotics, cooking and much more. Why 4-H? Research shows 4-H helps young people develop skills for life. In fact, a long-term study has shown that 4’Her’s do better in school, and are more likely to see themselves going to college, 4’Her’s are less likely to engage in risky behaviors, and 4’Her’s contribute more to their communities. The new 4-H year will begin Oct. 1.

Meredith Dougherty, Cora Derrick and Abreeana Zipprich were taught how to program robots at the 4-H Robotics sessions.

4-H Robotics rule!

4-H Robotics is really growing in the area. Youth of all ages love the challenge of robotics.

The University of Illinois Extension, Jersey County, recently held two sessions for youth interested in robotics. The morning session was for youth 5 to 8 years old.

They used the Lego We Do kits. This is an introduction to robotics but still had many of the same principles.

The afternoon class was for youth 9 to 12 years old and used the Lego Mindstorm kits to build a Go-Bot. After they completed this task, they were encouraged to build a robot of their own design.

For more information on youth programs or 4-H in Jersey County, please contact the University of Illinois Extension Office at 618-498-2913 or visit online at web.extension.illinois.edu/cjmm/jersey4h

Conservation World great place for free family fun at Illinois State Fair

Free family fun, entertainment, and great ideas for spending time outdoors are featured inside Conservation World at the 2015 Illinois State Fair, Aug. 14-23 in Springfield. Free shows include the famed Timberworks Lumberjacks and record-setting whip cracker Chris Camp’s “Whip Guy” western show, along with free Voyageur canoe rides, fishing clinics, and shooting sports instruction for youth.

Conservation World is a 30-acre park located at the northwest corner of the fairgrounds that reflects the diversity of outdoor recreation and natural resources of the state.

“Conservation World is a must-see destination for families at the Illinois State Fair, with great ways to learn more about the great outdoors in Illinois,” said Illinois Department of Natural Resources Director Wayne Rosenthal. “We encourage everyone coming to the fair to set aside some time to join us at Conservation World, where they’ll find shade trees, ponds and wildlife, with places to sit and relax while enjoying free shows and informative programs.”

Conservation World is open each day of the fair from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. and features an expansive schedule of free entertainment, hands-on activities for youngsters, informative exhibits, seminars, and interactive displays.

Among the highlights at Conservation World: n The Timberworks Lumberjack Show offers spectators a unique blend of logging history, world-class competition, and plenty of hilarious comedy. From speed carving and climbing to axe throwing and log rolling, the Timberworks Lumberjacks are a must-see at this year’s state fair. Shows in Conservation World are scheduled daily at 11:30 a.m., 2:30 p.m. and 5:30 p.m. n The “Whip Guy” is Springfield’s own Chris Camp, a world-class whip cracker who might be mistaken for Indiana Jones when you hear the “zwip-pop” of his bullwhip. See and hear the cracker (a small piece of nylon connected to the end of a whip) moving at 750 to 900 mph; the sound when it reaches this speed is a sonic boom. Enjoy the free Whip Guy western show with Chris Camp and family each day of the fair at 10:30 a.m., 1:30 p.m. and 4:30 p.m. n Free Kids Fishing Clinics are an Illinois State Fair favorite, at the pond just inside the Conservation World gate.

Young anglers learn about Illinois sport fish, then bait a hook and go fishing.

Fishing clinics are held daily at 10:30 a.m., 12 noon, 1:30 p.m., 3 p.m. and 4

p.m. n Green Acres Sportsman’s Club features trained and trainee sporting dogs in action at the Conservation World pond each day at 1 p.m. and 4 p.m. n Center stage at Conservation World is the Illinois Green Industry Association Amphitheater. The outdoor stage, terraced seating, walkway and gazebo provide a great setting for expert advice by green industry experts and on-stage performances by area and regional musicians throughout the state fair. n Families can take Voyageur canoe rides on the Conservation World pond Aug. 14-16 and Aug. 21-23 from 10 a.m.

– 6:30 p.m., and pose for photos with Smokey Bear during his frequent forays throughout the Conservation World grounds. n Kids can practice their shooting skills on the youth archery and youth BB gun ranges, with help from expert volunteer instructors. n Families can learn more about becoming Habitat Helpers by stopping by the Education Tent at Conservation World, with tips and recommendations for providing habitat for wildlife species, including monarch butterflies and other pollinators. Kids can work on puzzles, play games and visit the Little Video Theater. Families can pick up a packet of native plant seeds – and information packs are available for visiting school teachers. n Displays and hands-on activities focusing on outdoor recreation opportunities and natural resources stewardship in Illinois are located throughout Conservation World. Illinois Conservation Police officers and IDNR wildlife, fisheries and habitat restoration biologists will be on hand to answer questions about rules, regulations, conservation programs, hunting, and fishing issues. Hunting and fishing licenses will be available in the Law Enforcement Tent. n Sportsmen and women from a variety of outdoor recreation groups and volunteers from a number of Illinois environmental organizations will also welcome state fair visitors at Conservation World, as will vendors of crafts and gifts with unique items available for purchase.

Food and drink vendors at Conservation World will include southern Illinois’ famed 17th Street Barbeque, Vose Concessions with corn dogs and fried pickles, A & J’s Ice Cream, Pioneer Kettle Corn, Ice Biz Shaved Ice, Bud’s Root Beer, Illinois wines, and the Candy Man. Illinois State Fair admission includes free admission to Conservation World.

Participants from the U of I Extension Jr. Science Sizzle morning sessions were front, left to right, Cora Derrick, Islee Hileman, Trinity McQuay, Karter Vahle, and Kendal Vahle. Back, left to right, Maleah Derrick, Jovee Hileman, Abreeana Zipprich, Hannah McQuay, Anna Kribs, Abram Kribs, Bryce Hutchens, Will Pelletier and Quinn Hasquin.

Jersey U of I Extension hosts 4-H Science Sizzle Camp The University of Illinois Extension, Jersey County, recently held a two-day Summer Science Camp at the Farm Credit Illinois office in Jerseyville. Each day was filled with a variety of science experiments and activities. Youth explored science

Had a baby

principles by completing a variety of simple experiments including watching a soda bottle geyser and making their own mini rocket. The soda geyser was a big hit by all participants. Youth worked on teamwork, patience and problem-solving throughout

all of these sessions.

Taking the dog for a walk rather than spending time on the couch is one creative way to find more time for exercise.

Diet and exercise are essential components of a healthy lifestyle. While even the busiest men and women can find ways to eat healthy, finding time to exercise can be more difficult.

According to the President's Council on Fitness, Sports & Nutrition, regular physical activity can prevent chronic diseases like heart disease, cancer and stroke, which are the three leading causes of health-related death in the United States. In addition, men and women who are not physically active are at greater risk for developing type 2 diabetes. Regular exercise helps people control their weight while promoting bone, muscle and joint health.

While the benefits of regular exercise are substantial, finding the time for daily exercise is not always so easy.

The following are a handful of strategies men and women can employ as they attempt to make more time in their days to exercise. n Reexamine your free time. Few adults, and especially those juggling families and careers, have an abundance of free time. But reexamining the ways you are spending your free time may help you uncover some moments for daily exercise. The Council on Fitness, Sports & Nutrition notes that adults between the ages of 18 and 64 need at least two and a half hours each

week of moderate-intensity aerobic activity. While that may seem like a lot, it's only slightly more than 20 minutes per day. It helps to supplement such aerobic activity with some strength-training activities at least two days per week.

Try waking up 20 to 30 minutes earlier each day, using that time to hit the treadmill or jog around the neighborhood.

You likely won't be affected by waking up earlier, and you won't need to alter your existing schedule for the rest of the day, either. If mornings aren't your thing, make better use of your lunch hour, going for a jog or visiting your company's exercise facilities if that option isavailable to you. n Work while you exercise. Technology has made it easier than ever before to stay connected to the office even when you are nowhere near your desk. Men and women who can't seem to find time to exercise often cite the demands of their job as the primary reason behind their inactivity, but those same individuals can use the technology at their disposal, be it smartphones that allow them keep track of work emails or tablets that make it possible to connect remotely to office servers, to work while they exercise. Bring your smartphone or tablet with you when you work out on the elliptical or jog on the treadmill. n Reduce your seden-

tary time. A 2008 study from Australian researchers found that people who regularly break up their sedentary time, including the hours they sit behind their desk at the office, with movement had healthier waist circumferences, body mass indexes and triglycerides than those who did not. While hourly breaks to walk around the office might not seem like exercise, such breaks can benefit your long-term health. n Get creative. Many people associate daily exercise with private gyms, and while gyms can serve as excellent motivators and great places to get full-body workouts, time involved in driving to and from the gym can make it difficult to commit to gym memberships. But you don't need a gym membership to live a healthy lifestyle. When possible, take the stairs instead of an elevator and park further away from your office door so you get a small cardiovascular workout on your way into and out of the office. Rather than retiring to the couch after dinner, walk or bike around your neighborhood. Such simple gestures may seem insignificant, but the more creative ways you find to exercise each day, the more beneficial such efforts become.

While there is no way to create more time in the day, men and women can employ several strategies to make more time for daily exercise.

NIH Body Weight Planner added to USDA SuperTracker Food and Activity Tool Science-based technology provides users greater customizing to help reach and sustain a healthy weight

The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) and National Institutes of Health (NIH) have partnered to add the NIH Body Weight Planner to USDA's SuperTracker online tool as a goal-setting resource to help people achieve and stay at a healthy weight. Created in 2011, the SuperTracker tool empowers people to build a healthier diet, manage weight, and reduce risk of chronic disease. Users can determine what and how much to eat; track foods, physical activities, and weight; and personalize with goal setting, virtual coaching, and journaling. With sciencebased technology drawing on years of research, the Body Weight Planner will enable SuperTracker's more than 5.5 million registered users to tailor their plans to reach a goal weight during a specific timeframe, and maintain that weight afterward.

The math model behind the Body Weight Planner, an online tool published

by NIH in 2011, was created to accurately forecast how body weight changes when people alter their diet and exercise habits. This capability was validated using data from multiple controlled studies in people.

"We originally intended the Body Weight Planner as a research tool, but so many people wanted to use it for their own weight management that we knew we needed to adapt it with more information about how to achieve a healthy

lifestyle," said Kevin Hall, Ph.D., who led creation of the Planner and is a senior investigator at the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK), part of the NIH. "The Planner is a natural fit within the SuperTracker as it lets people accurately determine how many calories and how much exercise is needed to meet their personal weight-management goals."

The Planner's calculations reflect the discovery that the widely accepted paradigm that reducing 3,500 calories will shed one pound of weight does not account for slowing of metabolism as people change their diet and physical activities.

More recently, the math model was further validated using data from a two-year calorie restriction study of 140 people.

With those data, Hall and colleagues showed the model can also provide accurate measurements of calorie intake changes by tracking people's weight.

Researchers are examining how to apply this method for public use.

"We are pleased to offer a variety of interactive tools to support Americans in making healthy lifestyle changes," said Angie Tagtow, executive director of USDA's Center for Nutrition Policy and Promotion, which created and manages SuperTracker. "The NIH Body Weight Planner helps consumers make a plan to reach their goals on their timeline, and SuperTracker helps them achieve it."

More than two-thirds of American adults are

overweight or obese.

Maintaining a healthy weight can help prevent complications related to overweight and obesity such as heart disease, type 2 diabetes and certain types of cancer, some of the leading causes of preventable death.

"NIH's collaboration with USDA allows the public to quickly reap the benefits of the latest medical research results," said NIDDK Director Griffin P. Rodgers, M.D. "Sharing resources and expertise lets us get out important information as efficiently as possible, empowering people to take charge of their weight and their health."

The NIDDK, a component of the NIH, conducts and supports research on diabetes and other endocrine and metabolic diseases; digestive diseases, nutrition and obesity; and kidney, urologic and hematologic diseases.

Spanning the full spectrum of medicine and afflicting people of all ages and ethnic groups, these diseases encompass some of the most common, severe and disabling conditions affecting Americans. For more information about the NIDDK and its programs, see www.niddk. nih.gov.

Brown charged again with child sexual assault

By CARMEN ENSINGER Jersey County Journal The day before Marshall R. Brown, of Kane, was set to appear in Greene County Circuit Court for a preliminary hearing on a charge of Predatory Criminal Sexual Assault of Child filed on Feb. 23, he was arrested on the same charge again.

The first charge alleges that during or about March 2014 Brown committed an act of contact, however slight, between the sex organ of one person and the part of the body of another for the purpose of sexual gratification or the arousal of the victim or the accused.

The victim was under the age of 13.

The preliminary hearing on this charge was

set for Aug. 7 in Greene County Circuit Court.

However, Brown was arrested by Greene County Sheriff ’s Department and an additional charge of Predatory Criminal Sexual Assault of a Child was filed on Aug. 6. This incident allegedly took place on Aug. 5 and the alleged victim was under the age of 13, as well.

Bond was set on the second offense at $75,000.

Brown was escorted to court by a Greene County Sheriff’s Deputy.

Brown appeared in court with Public Defender Charles Theivagt for the combination pre-trial hearing and first appearance but the case was continued to Aug. 17 because Theivagt asked to be removed as Brown’s council because of a conflict of interest.

Man charged with child sex crime

By BOB CROSSEN Jersey County Journal A Jersey County man faces a Class X Felony charge carrying a maximum sentence of 60 years for an alleged child sex crime.

Brandon T. Scheldt faces a charge of predatory criminal sexual assault of a 6-year-old child, according to court documents filed Aug. 3.

The offense was allegedly committed Jan. 19 when Scheldt was 17 years old.

He is now 18.

The felony charge car-

ries between six and 60 years imprisonment with three years of mandatory supervised release.

Neither probation, periodic imprisonment nor conditional discharge may be imposed for such a felony.

The charge also has a $25,000 fine, a mandatory $200 sexual assault fine and requires payment of restitution.

Scheldt remains in the custody of the Jersey County Jail and is scheduled for jury pre-trial Sept. 17 at 1 p.m.

Theivagt is the personal attorney for one of the state’s witnesses. The motion was granted by Greene County Judge James Day. A public defender has yet to be appointed to Brown.

The charges are a Class X felony with a term of

six to 60 years in prison, up to $25,000 fine and three years mandatory supervised release. The offense is a non-probational offense.

As of Tuesday afternoon, Brown remained in custody at the Greene County Jail.

By BOB CROSSEN Jersey County Journal The 21-year-old man accused of fatally striking a woman on the Illinois River Road between Grafton and Alton earlier this year faces two felony counts in Jersey County.

According to court documents filed Aug. 3 in Jersey County Circuit Court, Kajavion Marquis McCarver was charged with aggravated driving under the influence of alcohol and reckless homicide in the death of Carol R. Admire.

Admire had been riding her bicycle on the River Road when McCarver allegedly hit her. According to the count for reckless homicide, McCarver drove a 1990 Chevrolet with a “faulty steering column causing the steering wheel to move up and down and side to side, in an unsafe manner.”

Court documents also note McCarver had cannabis and Xanax in his blood while he drove the vehicle south on State Highway 100 north of Stanka Lane in Jersey

KAJAVION MARQUIS MCCARVER County.

The count for aggravated driving under the influence is a Super Class Two Felony carrying three to 14 years in department of corrections with probational discharge not to exceed four years. The count also has a $25,000 fine and restitution.

The second count for reckless homicide carries two to five years in department of corrections with a conditional discharge not to exceed 30 months. The fine for the second count is also $25,000 along with restitution.

As of Aug. 10, McCarver was still in custody in the Jersey County Jail.

JERSEY COUNTY JOURNAL

Jerseyville, Illinois

Tri-County Olden Days Festival brings back Cowboy Church Cowboy Church will once again be featured at the 25 th annual TriCounty Olden Days Festival on Sunday, Aug. 23 at 9 a.m. The unique way in which the gospel is presented reaches all ages and denominations.

Dennis Cappel, wellknown horse trainer from Silex, Mo., often shares God’s word from horseback. Cappel is a true “cowboy” and trains wild mustangs for competition. Some of his achievements this summer have been winning Champion at the Heartland Horseman’s Challenge 2015 Horse Fair in Springfield. He also won Champion for

an author. Cindy Cappel is also well known as an herbalist and has the ability to work with the health of horses using natural methods. She is multi-talented as a business woman, fantastic cook and also has a history of winning in equine competition.

They minister God’s word to Cowboy Church groups throughout Missouri.

Music will be provided by Sheron Cadle who is the coordinator for the gospel groups that perform monthly at the Bethalto Church of God. The Tr i - C o u n t y Antique grounds are located at 23946 State Hwy. 3, six miles north-

the Mustang Make- over in St. Louis in July. He placed second in the Colt Starting competition at the Iowa Equine Horse Fair.

Cappel is considered to be a “horse whisperer.” His motto is “What’s on the inside of a man shows up on the outside of his horse.” His ranch is named “Hope Givers” because he and his wife, Cindy, successfully work with troubled young men on their ranch using many of the same techniques they use to work with horses.

Dennis Cappel lives his dream and is accomplished as a trainer/farrier, teacher/coach and

east of Grafton and 10 miles southwest of Jerseyville. Olden Days will be held on Saturday, Aug. 22 and Sunday, Aug. 23 opening at 7 a.m. There will be lots of activities for kids including a barrel train ride, pedal tractor pull and games and contests in the play area. Threshing, baling , plowing for the antique lovers as well as demonstrations, flea market, arts and crafts, sawmill, blacksmith, soap making and antique tractors. Great food is available on the grounds.

The admission is $5 per day per person. (Kids 12 and under are free).
