Father Hembrow, longtime local Catholic pastor, remembered as spiritual caretaker

By ALEX HEEB Jersey County Journal Father William Hembrow, the longtime pastor at Holy Ghost Catholic Church in Jerseyville and St. Mary’s Catholic Church in Fieldon, died unexpectedly Tuesday morning.

Father Hembrow, who was born in 1932, was one of three children born to the late Charles and Mary (Dougherty) Hembrow. He attended a one room schoolhouse in rural Medora, as well as the Medora High

School. He enrolled at the St. John’s Seminary in Little Rock, Ark., and was ordained to the priesthood in 1960.

He had served at the Immaculate Conception Cathedral in Springfield, as well as parishes in Alton, Decatur and Pierron before eventually being assigned to Holy Ghost in 1975 and to the parish at St. Mary’s Catholic Church in Fieldon.

Parishioners, among whom Father Hembrow was very respected, are looking back fondly on

his term as they prepare for funeral services.

“Father was a very good friend,” Mark Pohlman, Grand Knight of the Jerseyville Knights of Columbus, said. “He had a very tough spirit, always made everybody laugh. He emphasized joy and kindness, and from the little kids up to the adults, he made everyone feel loved.”

His love for people came from his love for the Gospel.

“He preached every day about being a good Christian and keeping

the faith,” Pohlman said.

“He was very enthusiastic about Christ.”

This photo of Father William Hembrow was taken approximately 10 years ago, according to parishioner Sarah Collins, right after the new gymnasium was built and dedicated at Holy Ghost Catholic Church and at the time of his 30th anniversary with the parish.

Father Hembrow died unexpectedly on Tuesday morning.

Goldenrod may get new lease on life.

The former Eagles Lodge in the 500 block of South State Street in Jerseyville, along with the adjacent pocket park, has been purchased by Chris and Brenda Lorton to be transformed into a place to launch the careers of up-and-coming talent—as a stepping stone and to gain a following for themselves—whether it be musically, comically, poetically or prophetically.

Designed to welcome the entire community and beyond through Lorton’s vision of an “at home” atmosphere, the venue will feature specialty coffees and other beverages, food and entertainment, during meal hours and on weekends.

Designing a new venue with an angle on new talent

By MELISSA CROCKETT MESKE Jersey County Journal

C

hris Lorton had a vision of bringing something unlike anything else to the city of Jerseyville. When seeking out a location, one could say the eagle finally landed right in Lorton’s lap.

With a little help from Pam Roady at Homes of America Realty, Lorton has nested his vision at the site of the former Eagles Lodge in the 500 block of South State Street in Jerseyville. He also purchased the adjacent pocket park from the city recently, and has begun constructing his dream.

“We’re all about the entertainment,” said Lorton, with the passion and enthusiasm bursting through and seemingly contagious as he talked about his plans. “I wanted to

create this space with a focus on the up-and-coming artists from our area. I also wanted the people who live here, or near here, to feel right at home every time they come in.”

Lorton is hoping that performers who take the stage to see this new venue as a launch point, a stepping stone, that they can use to build a following and make their next move in pursuing their dreams.

Musically, comically, poetically or prophetically, Lorton hopes to see area talent sharing what they want to do with others in the community as a way to get them to that next step— stepping out of their living rooms, back yards and choir chambers and onto this new stage—much as some successful performers did 18 years ago from the walls of the former Lorton Hotel.

Primarily with a coffeehouse theme, Lorton’s new venue will also feature a menu full of a variety of food options as well as both alcoholic and non-alcoholic bever-

age options. There will also be video gaming on-site.

For performers, in addition to an unobstructed stage designed for soaking up the spotlight, there will also be an in-house high-quality sound system which will eliminate the need to bring in one’s own equipment.

There has also been a DJ booth constructed to allow for more diversity in entertainment, and Lorton hopes to even provide opportunity for community discourse through live interviews and event previews taking place from the stage.

“We have many unique ideas being worked through to make connections throughout the community,” said Lorton. “We want to help strengthen relationships in, to, and through the community through what we’re going to have here,” he added.

Lorton, along with his partner and wife, Brenda, who Lorton describes as “just a joy, (See, VENUE, A2)

Hackers grab voter registration information

By ALEX HEEB Jersey County Journal Hackers recently gained access to a computerized registration system – the Illinois Online Voter Application – containing voter information, according to the Illinois State Board of Elections (ISBE).

The breach, which happened during the middle of July, forced Illinois to shutter its online voter registration system for a time, and may have resulted in tens of thousands of voter registrations falling into the hands of hackers.

According to a press release from the ISBE, about 700 voter records were confirmed to have been

breached, 86,000 are strongly suspected of having been accessed, and an additional 3,533 could not be determined. Roughly one half of one percent of voter registrations were impacted.

Voters who registered through means other than the ISBE website are not believed to have been impacted.

Pam Warford, Jersey County clerk, said that her office has received some inquiries about the breach.

“At this time, I’m not aware of any Jersey County voter information that was compromised, but the State Board of Elections is continuing to analyze the situation and they assure us (See, HACKERS, A3)

“A co-op is formed by the farmers for the use of the farmers,” Brad Welch, general manager of the Jersey County Grain Co., said.

“Our co-op was formed back in 1931.”

For area farmers, several hundred of whom hold stock in the organization, a visit to the grain company is the last step in their job – the place where all their work throughout the year finally crystalizes into a hardearned paycheck.

The view from the stage at the new venue being developed by Chris and Brenda Lorton, along with daughter Jenna, inside the former Eagles Lodge in Jerseyville demonstrates the Lortons’ intended focus. With a vision of being a stepping stone for rising talent along with a central hub for the community to engage in a variety of discourse, the Lortons have built out this venue with an unobstructed view of the performance stage from all angles.

By JUSTIN A. COBB Jersey County Journal A special program of the Illinois judiciary available in just a few circuits intended to help veterans who have run afoul of the law will expand to all circuits in the state by the time a newly signed law goes into effect in 2018.

Under the Illinois Veterans and Servicemembers Court Treatment Act, which went into effect in 2010, the chief judges of each judicial circuit are authorized, but not required, to establish a veterans court program.

However, the new law, passed as House Bill 5003

and signed Aug. 15 by Gov. Bruce Rauner, amends the statute to require each circuit to enact a veterans court program by Jan. 1, 2018.

Both state Rep. C. D. Davidsmeyer, R-Jacksonville, and state Sen. Sam McCann, R-Carlinville, voted in favor of HB5003.

‘Teddy Roosevelt’ commands the stage, and the performance

Theatre students at Jersey Community High School present an American comedy classic live on stage Sept. 15 through the 17. Starting at 7 p.m. nightly, “Arsenic and Old Lace,� is the story of two wealthy spinster sisters sharing a home in Brooklyn during the 1940s World War II era.

Undoubtedly, it is Chance Trisler’s performance as Teddy that commands the stage and steals the show. The Brewster sisters’ commitment to their brother Teddy shines through as well in the performances given by Lydia Witt and Sheariah Pegram. Jeremiah Balz provides a belly-full of laughs as Dr. Einstein, and it is Mortimer’s Eli Kimble that keeps the show on point and the laughter on time.

This is one stage production offered up by students at Jersey Community High School, under the guidance of Brett Beauchamp and Martha Harpstrite, that you absolutely won’t want to miss.

Written by American playwright Joseph Kesselring in 1939, everything that takes place in this comedic play is set in a period of less than 24 hours.

Abby Brewster (played by JCHS student Lydia Witt) and her sister Martha (Sheariah Pegram) have raised their nephews over the years while also offering rooms in their home for lodging to older men who have no family.

The Brewster sisters, considered cornerstones in their community for their charity work, offer a very unique charitable contribution to their elderly gentlemen boarders, offering each a glass of their own special elderberry wine and arsenic mix to their guests so that their “poor souls� do not have to suffer through anymore loneliness in their last years.

Teddy, brother to the spinster sisters, lives in the home as well and thinks himself to be President Teddy Roosevelt.

Duty calls for Teddy, and he leads the charge on San Juan Hill, charging up the stairs of the home.

He also fulfills his responsibilities of disposing the dead bodies of the victims he thinks have succumbed to yellow fever, but actually were poisoned by the sisters, after first digging trenches for the Panama Canal. Of course, the trenches Teddy digs are actually for the 13 bodies of the sisters’ charity benefactors—or victims. JCHS student Chance Trisler fills the role of Teddy Brewster.

One of the nephews is Mortimer, played by Eli Kimble.

Mortimer, the Brewster sisters’ favorite nephew, is a theater critic who is also in love with Elaine, played

by Sarah Hartman. It is on the same day Mortimer proposes to Elaine that he also discovers just what his aunts have been up to all these years.

Mortimer has to keep Elaine in the dark about what his aunts have been doing, or Elaine might just change her mind about becoming his wife.

He also has to protect his aunts from murder charges and from the other nephew, Jonathan, who is scheming to take the boarding house away from the aunts.

But first, Mortimer has a play to review. And he must stop Teddy from blasting his bugle horn in the middle of the night.

Because of all the commotion at the house, Officer O’Hara (Barrett Hartman) stops by to make sure all is well. When he is convinced that everything is alright, he starts discussing with Mortimer a play he is writing.

Fellow Officers Brophy and Klein (Hannah Loges, Jillian Freeman) stop in as well, as they often do, to visit with their favorite charitable citizens, the Brewster sisters.

Then Lieutenant Rooney bursts in, recognizing scarredface Jonathan as an escapee from a prison for the criminally insane. Jonathan (Daniel Bishop), the less-favored nephew, has shown up at the home with his sidekick, Dr. Einstein (Jeremiah Balz).

Einstein, Herman and not

Albert, is a self-proclaimed plastic surgeon who performs illegal surgeries on other criminals so that they cannot be identified by law enforcement.

He has turned Jonathan into a botched resemblance of Boris Karloff‌which does not set well with Jonathan.

Jonathan is taken back to prison, Dr. Einstein escapes, and Mortimer and Elaine live happily ever after. As for the sisters and brother Teddy, together they are on their way to Happy Dale Sanitarium, but not before one more glass of elderberry wine for their last guest‌ Other main cast members include Brett Bryden as Reverend Dr. Harper, Abby Balz as Mr. Hoskins/Spenalzo, William Beauchamp as Mr. Gibbs, and Jett Blackorby as Mr. Witherspoon.

Corpses are played by Livy Bettorf, Faith Egelhoff, Kirsten Hetzel, Matthew Hill, Hayley Krueger, Elsie Loftus, Elizabeth Meyer, Grant Morgan, Hope Skaggs, Elizabeth Strebel, Jade Witt, Lauren Urrutia and Rachel Yamnitz.

The student director is Barrett Hartman, while Jessie Lorts is the assistant to the director. Stage managers are Kristin Stellhorn and Adam Meyer with technical management provided by Maddie Clevenger.

Students Abbey Bilyeu, Natalie Embry, Eli Gettings, Olivia Jones, Angelo Logan, Larissa Loges, Rachel Price, Victoria Richardson, Daniel Shaffer, Emma Sharich, Grant Smith, Elizabeth Strebel, Morgan White and Jade Witt round out the production crew, along with a formidable group of understudies.

Tickets are on sale now in the high school office. The show will be held in the JCHS Auditorium. Tickets are $10 each, with general admission.

Call 618-498-5521 for more information.

Venue (Continued from A1) and the backbone of everything we do,� have been in the construction business for 18 years. Brenda leads the day-to-day business and office operations, while Chris focuses on the management and oversight of all their projects. The couple also opened the Lorton Home Center in Jerseyville last fall, and own 50 commercial and rental properties.

The Lortons’ daughter, Jenna, is also helping with the development of this newest site, as she does now in most aspects of her parents’ many entrepreneurial pursuits.

The upper floor of the building, formerly a hotspot for receptions and parties of many kinds, as well as meetings of the Lodge members, is planned to be used just for storage at this time.

Other site plans include putting a wroughtiron fence at the front of the former city pocket park, along its borders with the city sidewalk and the perimeter, and adding cafĂŠstyle tables within the fence. There will be a service window set in place to serve those enjoying the outdoor seating.

They are taking applications for all positions for the new venue now. Jenna said that

they are looking for energetic and positive team players who are personable, honest, and able to work in a fast-paced environment, and all applicants must be 18 years of age or older. “Previous experience is not required, but a winning personality is,� said Lorton. To apply, email jenna.lorton@gmail.com or pick up an application at the Lorton Home Center.

Lorton has not yet named the venue, and he is still working out that part of the vision with his wife and daughter. He still has to work through rezoning with the city as well, but is hopeful to open within a few months.

Since the 1950s and ‘60s, there have been countless stories told about a time when the former Eagles Lodge housed illegal poker machines within its walls that were thought to have been rushed down to the basement and “thrown in the well� at a point when it was thought a police raid was imminent.

Through this project’s construction and renovation, Lorton can now confirm that those legendary machines have not been discovered in that well as rumored over the decades. “However,� Lorton said, “that’s not where the story ends. You gotta stay tuned for the rest of the story...�

Co-op

(Continued from A1) subtracted from the empty weight to measure how much grain was dumped. “Right now our harvest is starting, and it will run really strong for the next two months, the month of September and the month of October,� Welch said. “We expect a record crop on both corn and beans. It was very dry up until [late June], and then after that we got some very generous rainfall, and that will give us the record crop.�

This bumper crop, however, has not been good news for farmers. A glut of grain on the market has forced corn prices down to $3 a bushel, when in the past that figure has gone as high as $8. Farmers are usually happy if the price is $5 a bushel or more. “It’s really hurt the price,�

Welch said. “The price is the lowest it has been the last four or five years on corn. The more bushels you have, usually the price will go down. It makes it hard for the farmers to cover their bills.�

The co-op, one of about a dozen elevators in an area Welch calls “very competitive,� is able to alleviate some of the pressure, helping farmers to use their collective weight to garner the best price from wholesale grain buyers. “St. Louis has about

A3

Jerseyville, Illinois

Hembrow half a dozen big commercial facilities,â€? Welch said. “They’ve got ADM, Bunge, Cargill, Consolidated Grain and Barge, and two ethanol plants. And they send us bids every day and they call us wanting to buy grain. We have relationships with all the elevators in St. Louis, and we will sell some to one place, and sell some to another place‌ We sell it to whoever we develop the best relationship with pricewise.â€?

The Hardin and Jerseyville divisions work in lockstep, with Jerseyville focusing on trucking grain to St. Louis, and Hardin putting an emphasis on the barge business, where much of the product is eventually exported to other countries. “We’ll buy it off the farmers here and turn it around to St. Louis or we’ll sell it to a big grain conglomerate and haul it over to Hardin and put it on a barge,� Welch said. “Our barges of corn and beans will end up in Japan and China.�

Over 100 barges leave Hardin every year, and each barge holds 70 semi-trucks worth of grain.

In many ways, the elevator storage system functions like a bank where grain is the currency. Once farmers “deposit� their loads, they keep an eye on the price, incrementally selling off fractions as the price chang-

es throughout the year as the price rises. “Just in an ordinary year a farmer will bring us grain in September or October, and he will sell it in increments,�

Welch said. “Say he’ll bring in 50,000 bushels of corn, he may sell it in five to 10 increments, and sell maybe from this coming January throughout next August. If he likes the price, he’ll move it and he’ll keep some to sell, hoping it will go higher.

But if it gets to a price that he really likes, then he’ll go ahead and sell all of it.�

In spite of the low prices this year, Welch said there are few places in the country with a better combination of good soil and strong markets. Both because of the large number of grain companies in St. Louis, and the area’s access to railroads and rivers, farmers are often able to get a price 20 to 30 cents better than in central Illinois. “St. Louis. If you took all the places in the United States that were bidding for grain, St. Louis is one of the best places,� Welch said. “It’s so competitive.

It’s probably one of the few places in the United States you can go, and there be all the major grain companies‌ You’ve got all the major grain producers in St. Louis fighting over the same bushel. It’s a great place to have corn and beans to sell.�

Veterans

(Continued from A1) Eighth Judicial Circuit said by phone Aug. 31.

The Eighth Circuit, which encompasses the counties of Calhoun and Pike, as well as Adams, Brown, Cass, Mason, Menard, and Schuyler, does not yet have a veterans court program, according to Lagoski.

However, “we are in the process of establishing an mental health court in Adams County, and it is anticipated that we will be, with any luck and some good administration, up and running sometime in early 2017,�

Lagoski said. “Once that’s going well, we’ll add to that the veterans court component.�

The Seventh Circuit, which in addition to Greene, Jersey, and Scott includes the counties of Macoupin, Morgan, and Sangamon, likewise is looking to develop a veterans court, according to Chief Judge Kenneth Deihl, speaking by phone Aug. 31.

Deihl said in January 2012 he observed the veterans court in Madison County since he was interested in establishing one in Macoupin County, where he serves as resident circuit judge. “I believe Madison had been going for about two years. The judge was a retired military veteran. I liked what I saw,� Deihl said.

The Seventh Circuit will most likely establish its veterans court in Sangamon County instead of Macoupin, since a representative from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs must be present each time a veterans court is in session, since he or she would have access to the defendant’s service, medical, and other relevant records, according to Deihl. “For Madison County, they would come out of St. Louis, but when I went to inquire, I was informed we would have to go through the VA in Danville, since Macoupin County is in the Danville district,� Deihl said. “Unless it’s in a larger county, they’re not going to be able to provide personnel every week for court. That was a big factor.�

The difference between problem-solving courts like the veterans court program and the traditional criminal docket is the former emphasizes rehabilitation of the defendant rather than punishment, according to both Deihl and Lagoski. “The idea is that with the appropriate treatment and support that these individuals will be able to stay out of the criminal justice system,� Lagoski said. “It removes them from the actual criminal justice system, which is not the proper place for people with diagnoses of mental illness, for example, PTSD, which is the primary veterans issue.� “We focus on what caused the person to be in court if we think there is either mental health, substance abuse, or other psychotro-

pic problems causing this individual to be in the court system as opposed to someone with just a plain criminal mind,� Deihl said.

Deihl told of one defendant he believed may have underlying mental health issues and who was referred to treatment. “He came back a totally different person, very respectful,� Deihl said. “That’s the kind of success story we’re looking for. We’re looking for the root of the problem, whether they can help it or not, what they need, so we can offer services.�

In addition, veterans courts are designed to help defendants who are unemployed find suitable employment, according to Deihl. “In Madison, where I went to observe, it was easy because there are a lot more employment opportunities there, Madison County being part of the St. Louis Metro,�

Deihl said. “We do not have that luxury in Macoupin. Springfield will have the luxury of at least some employers willing to take these special people and see if they can give them work they can do.�

Similar to defendants in the drug or mental health courts, those going through the veterans courts could avoid having a criminal conviction on their records, according to Lagoski. “The courts are set up to handle deferred prosecution, which could cause an individual who successfully completes the program to have no offense on their record,� Lagoski said. “It also allows individuals to have probation so that they would have a conviction.

It depends on the offense and the circumstances.�

Defendants who qualify for veterans court by having served in the military, including service in the National Guard or participation in the Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC) program in college, according to Deihl, can do so under the statute as long as they are willing to cooperate with treatment, are charged with a probational offense, and have not been convicted of certain violent crimes within the past 10 years. “Felony and misdemeanor offenses are both appropriate (for veterans court),�

Lagoski said. “I think you will find veterans are much more likely to appear in DUI matters or domestic violence matters, and those can be either misdemeanor or felony.�

The goal of veterans courts is “solving the problem rather than assuming the person is the problem,� Deihl said. “I believe in sentencing people if appropriate, but under the problem-solving courts doctrine, you avoid incarceration if possible and through treatment make (defendants) better citizens in society.�

(Continued from A1) Butch Wittman, who is chairman of finances at Holy Ghost, said that Father Hembrow was a priest who was hard to slow down and did not entertain the idea of retiring. “He was a priest 24/7,�

Wittman said. “I was in the hospital a few years ago in St. Louis, and here he comes in the door. He was always looking out for his people.

Not only his people, but other people as well. A lot of families would ask him to officiate funerals for people who were not Catholic. He would never

say no.�

Wittman said that he will miss Father Hembrow and the joy he brought to the parish. “I’ve been around priests all my life, and if there is one out there that is more spiritual than him or has more ability to comfort people and increase their devotion, I don’t know who it would be. He was top of the line.�

Wittman, who called Father Hembrow an “excellent homilist,� said that Father Hembrow always struck a chord with his sermons. “He would give a sermon

that everybody understood and could walk out of church with, enabled to live a better life.�

Visitation for Father Hembrow will be Thursday from 3 p.m. to 8 p.m. at Holy Ghost Catholic Church, where a Mass of Christian Celebration will be said on Friday at 6:30 p.m. Bishop Thomas Paprocki will officiate. He will be laid to rest alongside his parents at St. Francis Xavier Catholic Cemetery in Jerseyville in a private ceremony.

A full obituary can be found on B1.

Hackers (Continued from A1) that they will contact anyone whose personal information may have been taken. We’ve not had a lot [of calls,] but we’ve had a few folks concerned.�

Warford says she first learned about some type of a breach in July, but information was still extremely preliminary at the time, and more detailed information was made available to her office and the public about two weeks ago.

According to a timeline of the attacks released

by ISBE, on July 12 the server capacity for the system suddenly went to 100 percent, an indication that something was seriously wrong with the system.

ISBE staff patched the vulnerability, and then took Online Voter Application and other connected websites offline for further security. Service was not fully restored until July 28.

During the most active part of the cyberattack, servers for the ISBE were being hit with malicious requests as often as five times per second.

By looking back at its logs, ISBE was able to determine that the attack began around June 23.

The FBI and Attorney General’s Office are currently investigating.

Information that was potentially obtained by

the hackers includes names, addresses, driver’s license numbers, and the last four digits of Social Security numbers.

Warford says that the state takes voter privacy seriously, and now that the Online Voter Registration site has been patched, it should be safe to use.

Citizens also have the option of registering through other methods, including by mail and in person. “I would still encourage folks to get registered to vote,� Warford said. “We continue to encourage everyone to register to vote and we are doing everything we can to ensure that everything is kept secure.�

In another matter, Warford said that county residents may be receiving mailers from a group called the Voter Participation Center, an organization that claims to promote voter turnout by contacting citizens who have not registered.

Warford said that the organization appears to have gotten their information from “commercial sources,� and some confusion has been created, because some registered voters have received the mailings. Warford says to call her office at 618-498-5571 if you need to clarify your registration status.

The issue: The far-reaching impact Father Hembrow’s death, and life, had on the community.

Our view: Catholic or not—Father Hembrow impacted lives positively throughout the region.

T

he unanticipated death of Father William Hembrow has left the community in mourning, and in shock. The news of his death hit most all of us very hard on Tuesday morning.

As the priest for both Holy Ghost Catholic Church in Jerseyville and St. Mary’s Catholic Church in Fieldon, Father Hembrow had served the community, and beyond, since 1975.

Born in 1932 and ordained in 1960, he served in five parishes over the past over the 56 years since his ordainment, with the last 41 of those spent at Holy Ghost, in our community.

Right up to his last day, Father Hembrow, 84, was serving his parishioners and other community members, just as he had done for generations. Many who knew him well have been remarking about how he had a sincere love of football, but an even greater love of humanity.

A down-to-earth religious leader, Father Hembrow was very generous and kind in his service to anyone in need. With a gift for words, he often drew people from at least five surrounding counties to his celebrations of Mass and other services.

Not only did he touch the lives of his parishioners, Father Hembrow also made a difference to those not of the Catholic faith, or of any faith. It was his exemplary leadership and service to the entire region that repeatedly drew these diverse factions together for a greater good.

Father Hembrow often was noted as a “working man of God,” and had worked up until the very last night of going to sleep on Monday and not waking up Tuesday morning.

As Father Patrick Gibbons of St. Francis Catholic Church in Jerseyville noted, “He wanted to die with his boots on.” While not literally, everyone agrees he essentially did just that— and that’s just as he would have wanted.

A community in mourning, we also celebrate Father Hembrow and the difference he has made.

YOUR VIEWS Annexation of territory of Southwestern School District make for surprise to taxpayers TO THE EDITOR: Residents of Southwestern School District, as many are aware, we filed a civil action against the Brighton Memorial Library District. Please be advised that we have no intention of destroying, tearing down, or dismantling of the Brighton Memorial Library. We have two goals: (1) “Rescind, revoke or cancel Ordnance 15-06, the Ordnance of annexation of ‘All of the territory in Macoupin and Jersey Counties within the present boundaries of the Southwestern Community Unit School District No. 9, in Macoupin and Jersey Counties, Illinois.’” (2) Pay no additional taxes or debt of the Brighton Memorial Library District.

As you may be aware, the Brighton Memorial Library has annexed ALL of the territory of the Southwestern School District into the “Brighton Memorial Library District.” The Board of the Brighton Memorial Library District was required to publish notice.

The Board purportedly did so. We, along with many residents, took no notice of this action because there was nothing in the notice about tax increases. Well intended but ill-advised.

The fact that the county residents of the Southwestern School District would be taxed for the Brighton Memorial Library was not clearly defined in the newspaper which published Ordnance 15-06. Since the Village of Brighton was already paying a library tax, the annexation and Ordnance publication went un-noticed. Now that the tax bills are out, many residents are taking note.

The Brighton Memorial Library District Tax for a single family home in Kemper is $64.45, while a family farm in Fidelity

Bemoans the demise of the Journal’s editorial page TO THE EDITOR: I sent an editorial to the Jersey County Journal last week and received a phone call from one of the staffers (it was a very pleasant call) who stated if a written submission had a political overtone the

nliehr@campbellpublications.net

Township is $1,565. As you can see, the tax has serious implication for small business owners throughout Southwestern School District. “Well intended, Ill-advised!”

This was a completely unexpected tax hike for many residents. While residents are forced to tighten their belts and pay the tax, the Brighton Memorial Library District enjoys a 300 percent increase in revenue. In 2015, the Brighton Memorial Library District received revenue in the amount of $69,286.94. After the board’s actions, the board will receive $300,172.28 this year. “Well intended, Ill-advised!”

So what have we done: At the regularly scheduled Brighton Memorial Library District Board meeting of July 14, 2016, we attempted to make known to the board our feelings. We further requested relief from the tax burden. That request was denied. More troubling was the lack of foresight by the board. The board could not articulate a budget or spending plan. When asked if the board would rescind its Annexation Ordinance, every member of the board said No! After the meeting, we did not feel our concerns were addressed. We were left with no choice but to seek relief through a referendum for disconnection of annexed territory pursuant to Illinois law.

The Library Board was notified of our intentions.

The Petition Defense Committee was established consisting of Donna Moore, Tommy Ruyle and Webb Cunningham.

The petition sought to place on the November ballot the following Referendum for Disconnection of Annexed Territory: “All of the territory in Macoupin and Jersey Counties within the boundaries of the Southwestern Community Unit School District No. 9, in Macoupin and Jersey Counties, Illinois.” The number of signatures required for Jersey County was set at 300. The number for Macoupin County was set at 500. Starting on July 14, 2016 we collected 401 signatures from Jersey, and 765 signatures

from Macoupin Counties (1,166 total).

On July 20, 2016, we submitted the signed and notarized petitions to the Secretary of the Library Board to be certified to the County Clerks of Jersey and Macoupin.

The Brighton Memorial Library Board notified us on Aug. 1, 2016 that it would not certify the question. In other words, the voters were being denied their right to vote on the issue.

Because of the baseless denial of voting rights, the Petition Defense Committee requested our attorney, Joshua R. Evans, seek a court order. Attorney Evans of Jerseyville represented our cause while the board retained a law firm from Chicago.

“The Petition Defense Committee” has filed two lawsuits in the Macoupin County Circuit Court to: (1) Prevent the Library District from incurring any additional cost beyond normal operating expenses. (2) Emergency Injunctive Relief to require the Library Board Secretary to certify the Petition Question and allow the question to be placed on the November 8 th election ballot.

We have been to court twice. The last time being on Aug, 22, 2016 where a Circuit Court Judge in Macoupin County ruled in favor of the Emergency Injunctive Relief, and issued a Court Order requiring the Secretary of the Library Board to Certify and forward to the County Clerks in Jersey and Macoupin Counties the “Question on the petition.”

The petition has been certified and forwarded to the respective county clerks and will appear on the General Election Ballot, November 8, 2016. We are pressing forward on the suit to prevent the Library District from incurring any additional cost beyond normal operating expenses.

Thank you for taking the time to read and hopefully better understand our position on this annexation issue.

paper’s managers had decided to charge a fee. She said she would sent me the policy and the amounts and I declined on principal, not cost.

Since the days when we were a colony under Great Britain the editorial section of a paper has been a free service to allow citizens to state their opinions of government actions. The Journal’s editorial page used to be a hot bed of controversy, pro and con, covering the school board, city/ county government, and even state and federal activity. It was very interesting and enlightening.

Now it seem the Journal

only welcomes “happy stories” which are nice but not the intent of an editorial section.

The Journal does not charge a fee for happy stories. It seems the Jersey County Journal is trying to be politically correct and create a “safe zone” for everyone and that’s fine; after all it’s their paper.

However, I think old Ben Franklin, one of the forefathers of American journalism, is at least shaking his head if not actually rolling over in his grave at the demise of such an important function of democracy.

JERSEY COUNTY JOURNAL

News items from the pages of Jersey County Journal

2006 The Jersey County Board approved a bid of $1,230,400 from Morrissey Construction of Godfrey to build the new county highway department’s office and garage facilities. The board decided at last month’s meeting to reject all the bids it had received after one of the bidders filed a protest. Five new bids were received Aug. 23 and presented at Tuesday night’s meeting. Tom Klasner, the county highway engineer, explained that $1,055,000 of the cost will be paid out of the Motor Fuel Tax Fund and $175,000 from the Highway Fund. The price of the project is roughly $70 a square foot.

Jerseyville residents Jack and Judy Holmes attended Tuesday’s Jerseyville City Council meeting where they complained to the council about harassment from their neighbors over parking on Pearl Street. The Holmes live at the corner of West Barr and South Pearl and they also own other property on Pearl Street.

Though their address is 711 W. Barr, their driveway is on Pearl Street. Since the renovation of that street, the Holmes said that whenever they park on the street, their neighbors complain, call the police and generally harass them. Streets Commissioner Andy Macias said that there was nothing the council could do about harassment from neighbors and urged the residents to work it out themselves, though he reiterated, as did Jerseyville Police Chief Brad Blackorby, that it is perfectly legal to park on Pearl Street.

In the back and forth filing of legal briefs leading up to the Sept. 21 hearing, the legal counsel for the Coalition for Public Awareness filed a memorandum Sept. 5 opposing the school district’s motion to dismiss their lawsuit. The suit alleges that the $14,719,999 that was issued in bonds to pay for the construction of the new Jersey Community High School and Grafton Elementary School was done so improperly, and that the resulting taxes to pay for the bonds should be enjoined permanently. The attorney for the school district argued that the school district had the proper and legal authority to issue those bonds. In his motion to dismiss, he argues that the plaintiffs waited too long to file their complaint, to the detriment of the defendants.

2011 Former Jersey Community High School teacher and football coach Gary Carter is suing Jersey Community Unit School District No. 100.

According to documents filed Sept. 6 in Jersey County Circuit Court, which tell just one side of the story, Carter is seeking more than $50,000 in damages incurred in his termination. Court documents state Carter was in the final year of his probationary period prior to obtaining tenure, and was released without being given reason. His termination notice, dated March 18, simply states the school board “has determined not to re-employ you for the 2011-2012 school term.”

He was employed with the district from 2007 through the 2010-11 school year.

There are now two new faces on the Grafton Police Department as the council approved the hiring of two parttime officers at Tuesday night’s meeting. Mayor Tom Thomp-

son introduced Reid Taylor and Todd Reese to the group.

Taylor retired in 2008 from the Jerseyville Police Department after 30 years of service and currently works part-time at the Jersey County Sheriff’s Department; Reese is a fulltime officer at the Brighton Police Department and has five years experience.

Two services to the residents of Jersey County are in jeopardy because of funding issues. At Tuesday night’s Jersey County Board meeting, board member Donna Moore said the money for the county’s recycling program is drying up. She also said the recycling facility next to the railroad tracks has been sold and must be vacated by Nov. 1. Also at Tuesday’s meeting, American Red Cross Director Robin Summers informed the board of a reduction in manpower in the Jerseyville office, which is located in the county administration building.

The one part-time employee in the Jerseyville post has been let go. But Summers said the Red Cross will continue to operate in the county.

Beloved priest, Father William Hembrow, 84, of Jerseyville died unexpectedly at the Rectory at 9:05 a.m. Tuesday, Sept.

6, 2016.

He was born in Jerseyville on April 26, 1932, and was one of three children born to the late Charles and Mary (Dougherty) Hembrow.

Father was proud of his Medora roots, and attended a one room schoolhouse in rural Medora, as well as the Medora High School. He enrolled at the St. Johnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Seminary in Little Rock, Ark., and was ordained into the priesthood on May 21, 1960. His first Mass was celebrated at St. Johnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Catholic Church in Medora, the church he grew up in.

He began his service at the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception in Springfield for four years, and then on to St. Maryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in Alton, St. Patrickâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in Decatur, and St. Maryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in Pierron.

In 1975 he was called to Jerseyville, where he has served as the Priest at both Holy Ghost Catholic Church and St. Maryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Catholic Church in Fieldon.

Roger Tuffy' Goetten of Fieldon, died at 1:35 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 6, 2016 at Jerseyville Manor Nursing Home.

He was born on the family farm near Fieldon on Dec. 5, 1929, and was one of six children born to Henry and Margaret (Schmieder) Goetten.

For many years he, along with his brothers, operated the Goetten Brothers Farm, as well as a Mobil Gas Station in Jerseyville. In 1970, Tuffy was elected to the position of Jersey County Treasurer, and remained in that same position for six consecutive terms until 1994, serving the citizens of Jersey County, whom he considered friends, for 24 years. During his tenure, he was honored to have been selected as Illinois County Treasurer of the Year.

He was very active and loyal to his community, and served on the board of the Jersey County Housing Authority, as well as numerous positions and committees with both the Knights of Columbus and the Elks Lodge #954, both of Jerseyville. In addition, Tuffy was a faithful and dedicated member of St. Maryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Catholic Church in Fieldon, and served in any capacity that was needed, and worked picnics, far too many to count.

Tuffy truly enjoyed life and was blessed with a good one. He loved socializing and being with those friends he treasured, but his happiest moments were times spent with his children and grandchildren, who in return provided Tuffy with many years of happiness. Although Tuffy never was one to slow down or shy away from a social invitation, he found true contentment and peace in one small segment of ground near St. Maryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Church in which he could state that he was born, worked, worshiped, played and raised his family, and ultimately will be laid to rest.

He married the former Theresa Rose Buechler on July 29, 1950 at Holy Angels Catholic Church in East St. Louis, and together they raised their family of seven children, and shared 51 years together before her death on

Aug. 31, 2001.

Surviving are a daughter and son-in-law, Genarose and Paul Isringhausen of Fieldon; five sons and daughters-inlaw, Roger Gary and Jeanie Goetten of Jerseyville, William and Tammy Goetten of Fieldon, Mark and Patricia Goetten of Fieldon, Dale and Carolyn Goetten of Jerseyville, and Donald and Sue Goetten of Carrollton; 15 grandchildren; 22 greatgrandchildren; two sisters, Maurita 'Shorty' Fraley and Rosalie 'Sissie' Hansen, both of Jerseyville; two brothers and sisters-in-law, Wilfred 'Willie' and Joyce Goetten of Jerseyville, and Norbert and Karen Goetten of Carrollton; a sister-in-law, Loretta Goetten of Fieldon; as well as very special friend, Mary Landon of Jerseyville.

In addition to his parents and wife, Tuffy was preceded in death by a son, Dennis James Goetten on Oct. 9, 1974; a grandson, William Jeremy Goetten; a brother, Richard 'Dickie' Goetten on Aug. 30, 2016; two brothersin-law, William Hansen and Stanley Fraley; two nephews, Kevin 'Crackers' Hansen and Daniel Fraley; and a niece, Monica (Goetten) Brennan.

Visitation will be from 2 to 7 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 11, 2016 at Crawford Funeral Home in Jerseyville.

A Mass of Christian Burial will take place at 10 a.m. Monday at St. Maryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Catholic Church in Fieldon with Father Patrick Gibbons officiating.

Burial will be in St. Maryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Cemetery in Fieldon.

Memorials may be given to St. Francis/Holy Ghost Catholic Schools, Jersey Community Hospital Wellness Center, or to Isaacâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Rays of Hope, all in care of the funeral home.

Additional help coming in battle against heroin, opioid crisis

Illinois is one of 44 states to share in $53 million in grants to reduce opioid overdoses and deaths and improve treatment for residents The Illinois Department of Human Services (IDHS) has received two federal grants funded by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration to combat the heroin and other opioid crisis facing the state of Illinois. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heroin and other opioid drug use is at crisis levels in Illinois. Substance use is ripping apart families and severely impacting our communities,â&#x20AC;? said IDHS Secretary James Dimas. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The $8 million in grants will enhance our efforts for individuals dependent on heroin and other opioids. We continue to work diligently to secure additional federal funding that will help support community-based prevention and treatment efforts. IDHS is committed to working with schools, community-based organizations and the recovery community, to reduce the stigma associated with substance use disorders and ensure access to treatment.â&#x20AC;?

The Medication-Assisted Treatment Prescription Opioid Addiction grant was awarded by the Center for Substance Abuse Treatment to the IDHS Division of Alcoholism and Substance Abuse. This three year, $3 million grant will support an expansion of outpatient methadone treatment services and will reduce the waiting lists for heroin and other opioid dependent individuals seeking these services in Illinois. This grant will also support medication assisted treatment for offenders released from Sheridan Cor-

rectional Center who are at high risk for returning to heroin use (and high risk for overdose) upon release.

IDHSâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Division of Family and Community Services received the Prescription Drug Opioid Overdose Prevention Grant from the Center for Substance Abuse Prevention. This five year, $5 million grant is expected to reduce the number of overdose deaths in the following six high need counties: Cook, Lake, DuPage, Will, St. Clair, and Madison. A key component to this program will be the purchase and distribution of Naloxone kits to first responders. Naloxone is the opioid overdose reversal drug that is critical to saving lives so people can get the treatment they need. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Illinois, like the rest of the country, is in the midst of a drug overdose epidemic and we must act now,â&#x20AC;? said Illinois Department of Public Health Director Nirav D. Shah, M.D., J.D. â&#x20AC;&#x153;According to the CDC, prescribing and sales of opioids have quadrupled since 1999 and more than three out of five drug overdose deaths involve an opioid. This epidemic is devastating families and communities.

To stop this trend of opioid overdose, we must provide support and treatment to those suffering from opioid use disorders.

And to save lives, we must provide first responders with the resources needed for an individual who has overdosed. It will take all of us, substance abuse and mental health providers, law enforcement, public health, first responders, communities, and others, to put an end to this epidemic.â&#x20AC;?

Goldenrod Showboat approaching second lease on life as museum

By ALEX HEEB Jersey County Journal Earlier this spring, the story of the Goldenrod Showboat, a 107-year-old American treasure, seemed to be drawing to a close.

In July 2015, river men beached the vessel, which had just lost a supporting barge along the Illinois River, in a desperate attempt to save it from major flooding. The ground, however, was far too uneven to support the boat, causing its superstructure to snap.

While the appearance of the vessel did not portray the massive damage taken on by the hull, the craft was damaged beyond economically feasible repair.

Volunteers began removing pieces of the interior for museum preservation, and, in March of this year, called it quits and decommissioned the old vestige after a “celebration of life” ceremony.

However, a new development has re-energized the preservation movement.

Business interests in St. Louis have expressed interest in moving a substantial part of the vessel to their facility, and reconstructing it as a full-sized museum.

Many artifacts are currently stored at a facility

in Jerseyville, where most of the volunteers are also based.

Jake Medford, vicepresident of the Historic Riverboat Preservation Association (HRPA), the guardians of the vessel, says that new plans call for the wooden structure above the barge deck to be saved.

Medford said plans were already in place for artifacts to be exhibited at the St. Louis Toy Museum when the new project began to materialize.

“One of the [board members] recommended that we look at a facility in St. Louis,” Medford said, “which he had already talked to the owner who is doing massive renovations to this facility and is interested in having the Goldenrod there.”

Medford, aside from saying that the facility was in St. Louis, declined to say who the interests are or where the vessel might be placed. However, he said, the future for the boat looks much brighter now. HRPA has already taken the first step, re-obtaining title to the vessel, which had been turned over to Pool 24 Tug Service in Kampsville after the Goldenrod was decommissioned. This, Medford

said, was beneficial to both parties, since scrapping the old vessel would have posed considerable challenges to Pool 24.

Volunteers for the HRPA are reassembling to perform some remaining detail work in deconstructing the boat.

Medford says they then hope to bring in men and heavy equipment to disassemble the wooden sections of the boat for transport to St. Louis, “We’ve already put together our business plan and are getting all our ducks in a row, because we are not going to make a big commitment to anything.”

At this point, Medford said, everything remains somewhat speculative, but things have never been more hopeful for the future of the vessel. The HRPA continues to look for volunteers to help with the work.

Medford says people can learn more about the boat at the organization’s website, www.goldenrodshowboat. com.

“It’s a journey,” he said.

“We are just now starting to get volunteers put back together, heading over to the Goldenrod again to continue work. Before we go too far with it we are making sure everything is lined up.”

Alex Heeb/Jersey County Journal

The Goldenrod Showboat, pictured last January, may soon start a second life as on land. Plans, while still at a preliminary stage, are underway to salvage the wooden structure above the deck and install it at a location in St. Louis. Volunteers, who had given up hope on saving the vessel, are thrilled at the turn of events.

Since the founding of our nation, the role of newspapers in our democracy has been crystal clear. We have been, and will continue to be, the eyes and ears of the American people. After all, the right of free speech is meaningless if no one knows whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really going on. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why more than 100 million Americans depend on their hometown newspapers daily and why todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s newsrooms are staďŹ&#x20AC;ed with dedicated, highly trained reporters and experienced editors who bring you the very best journalism found anywhere, in print and online.

ISP to conduct ISP to conduct Nighttime Enforcement Patrols Occupant Restraint The Illinois State Police ing Under the Influence (ISP), District 18, will con- (DUI), and are not propEnforcement Patrols duct Nighttime Enforce- erly buckled up.

Illinois State Police (ISP) District 18 Commander, Lieutenant Timothy Tyler announced that District 18 Troopers will conduct Occupant Restraint Enforcement Patrols (OREP) during the month of September.

OREP allows the ISP to target an area with saturation patrols that focus on traffic violations and related compliance with safety belt and child safety seat laws. Safety belt enforcement zones will also be set up to ensure the driver and passengers are buckled up. Illinois law requires all vehicle passengers (front and back) to be buckled up!

Safety belts are one of the most effective safety devices in vehicles today, estimated to save over 12,000 lives each year. Over half of vehicle occupants killed in a traffic crash were not properly buckled up. The objective of this program is to increase compliance of occupant restraint laws through education, child seat inspections, and enforcement. Greater awareness, acceptance, and use of occupant protection equipment will save many lives. This project is funded through the Illinois Department of Transportation, Division of Traffic Safety.

ment Patrols (NITE) in District 18 during the month of September, according to Interim Commander Timothy Tyler.

The ISP has zero tolerance for impaired drivers.

Therefore, officers working NITE patrols will be watchful for drivers who are operating vehicles in an unsafe manner, driving with a suspended or revoked driver’s license, transporting open alcoholic beverages, Driv-

Alcohol and drug impairment is a significant factor in nearly 40 percent of all fatal motor vehicle crashes in Illinois. These nighttime patrols are designed to keep our roads safe by taking dangerous DUI offenders off the road and ensuring all vehicle occupants are buckled up.

This project is funded by the Illinois Department of Transportation, Division of Traffic Safety.
