JCHS Cheer qualifies for state competition

By KRIS SCHEFFEL Jersey County Journal Jersey Community High School’s competitive cheerleaders will be making their way to the Illinois Cheerleading Coaches Association (ICCA) state competition after qualifying at sectionals on Dec. 22 — an accomplishment made more impressive by the fact that JCHS has not had a competitive cheer team in 3 years.

Natalie Zedolek is in her second year as coach for the team and said she has never seen a more dedicated group of athletes.

“This is the first time that we’ve had a competition season since 2016,” she said.

This year’s team consists of 16 students with four upperclassmen and 12 underclassmen. The state hosts three divisions dependent on school size. Jersey placed in the medium division. In order to compete in this division, the school must have 16 cheerleaders competing.

While younger, the team has grown enormously in their first competitive season.

“I’m very proud to have done so well with such a young team,” Zedolek said.

“They knew going in that we were going to have to put in hard work and long hours.”

2. Major sports facility improvements coming to District 100 3. Santa heads back to school 4. Just a little fun in the snow on a winter day

Unlike other districts, Jersey does not have a middle school team, putting JCHS at a disadvantage with less experience in cheer specifically. However, Zedolek said the team is lucky to have so many cheerleaders with dance backgrounds.

“They all came to us with some type of dance background,” she said. “So, that has been a strength.”

The team does a full routine at their competitions, meaning that they not only dance, but they also tumble and stunt. Stunting is also known as building pyramids, and consists of cheerleaders being lifted into the air while completing moves such as a basket toss.

While dancing was a strength for the team from the start, stunting was a bit of a learning curve. Zedolek said the team has put in a lot of hard work in this area, putting them on par with teams across the state.

“You can’t even tell we don’t have a middle school team,” she said. “This has definitely been a learning year for us... They have improved the most in stunting.”

The team has garnered support across the community and the school — notably from the new activities director, Dave Kanne.

“He’s been very support-

ive,” Zedolek said. “In fact, all of the administration has been very supportive.”

That level of support can also be witnessed at competitions, where an entire section of fans can be seen cheering the team on with signs and panther gear.

“We have the best fan section,” Zedolek said. “Our fans take up a whole section of the gym.”

All the team’s hard work and the community’s support appears to have paid off with the team qualifying for state at ICCA sectionals in Edwardsville.

“We’ve been on cloud nine,” Zedolek said. “It’s just been surreal... I couldn’t have asked for a better group of girls.”

The cheer team includes Mallory Duggan, Kaylee Vahle, Abbey Hayes, Katie Wittman, Morgan Johnson, Ashley Smith, Kyndal Price, Kadie Mueller, Sara Jones, Maddie Ramirez, Natalie Zedolek, Amanda Madson, Savana Palos, Chloe Phipps, Anna Fink, Jerra LaPlant, Avery Bartok, Sydney Palos, Marti Hansen and Maddy Hansen.

The ICCA State Competition will be held in Springfield on Jan. 11. The team will also be looking to qualify for the Illinois High School Association state competition in Centerville on Feb. 1.

Second WJBM Radio food drive Olive Branch Cafe sees more local involvement serves home-cooked

By JARAD JARMON Jersey County Journal Ahead of the hustle and bustle associated with the weekend before Christmas, area individuals were expressing how just how generous the community is, especially during this time of year.

Through the Real Country Food Drive 2019,ttt hosted by WJBM Radio, an estimated $5,000 in combined monetary and food donations were collected.

“We have a very giving community.”

Susan Hamilton, owner of Grafton Technologies, Inc., organizes food donations outside of Sinclair Foods Dec. 20 for the WJBM Radio Real Country food drive.

This is the second year for the radio station-hosted drive, and this year proved more successful than what was garnered just a year before — a testament to the giving nature of Jersey County, Jill Boomer, WJBM Radio Real Country sales associate and food drive organizer, said.

“We have a very giving community,” Boomer said.

Jim Seago, Director of Sales at WJBM and food drive organizer, said they are stunned

each year by the outpouring of support.

“It knocks us out. It really does” Seago said. “We learned last year that this community really, really responds to neighbors that need something.”

Boomer said they made sure to promote the event well ahead of the day of the drive, which she believed help get the word out about the event and draw more in to donating. The rela(See, FOOD DRIVE, A2)

By KRIS SCHEFFEL Jersey County Journal Few places are open during Christmas day, opting to give employees time with their families and loved ones.

However, Olive Branch Cafe has taken a different approach, opening its doors to those in need during the holiday. For 4 years now, the restaurant has provided free meals for hundreds of local residents, and all the while, spreading some Christmas cheer.

Manager Jenny Nape estimated a total of 170 carry outs and deliveries with hundreds more sitting down for a meal at the restaurant.

“It’s been a big turnout,” she said.

The service is organized in partnership with Got Faith?

Ministries, a nonprofit whose mission is to serve the residents of Jersey County. Got Faith’s president, Steve Pegram made an appearance at the event, dressed for the occasion as a representative of Santa himself.

“Santa is here today just to help out, cause this is just a wonderful thing,” Pegram said.

Reflecting on the turnout, Pegram said last year’s event gave away 800 meals.

“I think it’s bigger this year,” he said.

The meals included turkey, dressing, mashed potatoes, gravy, corn and chicken and rice soup.

“The cooks prepared all week,” she said. “We have gone through 23 turkeys.”

Cooks, wait staff and volunteers all dedicated their time, coming in early during Christmas, to make the event a success. Servers such as Zack Chandler did not clock in, choosing instead to give back to those in need.

“We have six servers and six volunteers,” Nape said.

“We had three delivery volunteers this morning and some of our wait staff helped deliver some meals too...

More than 250 new laws take effect New Year’s Day

By GREG BISHOP The Center Square On Jan. 1, the new recreational cannabis law is just one of the scores of new laws that will take effect.

In Illinois, more than 250 new laws take effect Jan. 1 that will affect parents, employers, drivers, students and those in the criminal justice system.

For parents, one new law allows minors 12 and older to get preventative STD treatments such as HIV PrEP medications without parental consent.

ID cards for minors will cost $5, not $10. If your child is a paid performer, a new law requires at least 15 percent of gross earnings be deposited into a trust fund they can access when they turn 18.

If you’re out and need to use a baby changing table, one new state law requires every public building with public restrooms to have at least one safe, sanitary, convenient and publicly accessible baby diaper changing station accessible to women. Also, any single-occupancy bathrooms in public must have a sign that notes “restroom”

and not any specific gender.

If you have cats, you’ll have to get rabies inoculations. Feral cats are exempt.

A new law also starts the process of the Illinois treasurer creating the Illinois Higher Education Savings Program, which will use tax dollars to provide a $50 college-savings fund for each baby born in the state, though newborns won’t be enrolled until January 2021.

Starting Jan. 1, medical cannabis can be administered to qualified patients at all schools, public and private.

Your child’s teachers will have to start teaching Illinois history. There are also requirements that schools maintain age-appropriate sexual harassment policies on their websites and in student handbooks. There is also a requirement sexual education classes teach the meaning of consent.

Schools could begin teaching about workplace sexual harassment and discrimination in high school curriculum.

Students won’t need to take Algebra II to take an advanced placement computer science class.

There will also be grants the Illinois State Board of Education can start awarding for school safety and security like a metal detector or professional development.

Drivers have a host of updates to the law they’ll need to know.

It will be illegal to watch or stream video while behind the wheel.

Passing a stopped school bus could get you a $300 fine for the first offense and $1,000 for the second offense.

There are also increased fines and penalties for violating Scott’s Law, the state’s move over law in construction zones and when approaching stationary vehicles on the side of highways.

The Secretary of State will have to inform people about the zipper merge method and to include at least one question about Scott’s Law on driver tests.

Drivers also can’t use vehicles with smoked or tinted lighting lens covers.

Specific farm wagon trailers and other qualified equipment won’t have to have license plates beginning New Year’s Day, saving $250 a pop.

There are several new specialty

license plates or plate decals coming in 2020.

Come Jan. 1 the Secretary of State may issue Cold War license plates, Disabled Veterans license plates and United Nations Protection Force license plates. Specialty plate decals for universal plates can be issued for K-9 for Veterans, two for the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers and it’s Local Lodge 701, and decals for developmental disabilities awareness.

Children and stepchildren of deceased police officers or firefighters can get police and fire specialty license plates. Another new law makes both the Disabled Veteran and ISERVE license plates available for motorcycles.

Employers wanting to use artificial intelligence in video interviews have new regulations to follow. Employers also can’t inquire into or use an arrest record as a basis for an employment decision. Arrest records also can’t be used to refuse to engage in real estate (See, NEW LAWS, A2)

Food drive

(Continued from A1) tively warm weather helped, she said.

The success of last year’s drive and the continuing need in the community prompted the radio station to continue their food drive for another year.

“There is a great need in our area for this,” Boomer said. “People need to be aware of the need, not only during the holidays but all year around.”

The food drive was started last year after Shop N’ Save in Jerseyville closed.

“We just heard that a couple of the food pantries were struggling because Shop N’ Save closed,” Seago said. “That was just a couple of weeks before Thanksgiving, and we said ‘OK, food drive.’”

They had found at the time that Stan Sinclair of Sinclair Foods donated a lot to the food pantries in the area but could not make up for the losses of what Shop N’ Save had provided.

“We invited him to help us with this and here we are,” Seago said.

With the monetary donations, Stan goes

and shops for foods in the store to then add to the food donations.

Sinclair Foods as well as Grafton Technologies, Inc. (GTI), Nick’s Pancake House and Medford Oil were the driving engines for the event, Seago said.

Susan Hamilton, an owner of GTI, saw it as an avenue to grow what they already done during the holiday season last year.

“Grafton Technologies does a food drive in house… throughout the season,” Hamilton said. “…When the radio was going to do their day, I then just brought everything that we had.”

When they were asked to participate in the food drive again this year, Hamilton saw it as a no-brainer.

“We have to help our county,” Hamilton said. “…Whatever we can do to help our customers, our people, our county is what we do.”

Seago said the plan is to continue these efforts next year.

“We will be back next year, hopefully,” Seago said.

(Continued from A1) transactions.

The statute of limitations will be lifted for criminal sexual assault, aggravated criminal sexual assault or aggravated criminal sexual abuse, regardless of the age of the victim. The statute of limitations is also lifted for the prosecution of female genital mutilation.

There’s also stiffer penalties for certain crimes in places of worship.

In civil law, nonconsensual dissemination of private sexual images will be a civil violation. Another law prohibits posting private compromising images of another person and allows a person to obtain a “take-down”

order to have the image removed from the internet.

It will be against the state’s civil laws if a genetic testing company shares any genetic test information or personal information of consumers with any health or life insurance company without written consent from the customer.

And if you’re getting divorced and want to change your name back to your maiden name, the name change does not need to be published.

And if you want to be a Chinese herbologist you have to get a license from the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation.

For prisoners in the Illinois Department of Corrections or even pre-trial detainees in county jail, there are some updates coming Jan. 1.

County jails must better facilitate opportunities for pre-trial detainees to vote in elections.

Illinois Department of Corrections inmates won’t have to pay a $5 co-pay for medical or dental services. IDOC also can’t sue an inmate to recoup the cost of their imprisonment.

And when an inmate prepares to be released they’ll go through the Re-Entering Citizen Civics Education Act with information about civics in a nonpartisan program.

Olive Branch (Continued from A1) The people who have come in to volunteer have been amazing.”

Meals were delivered across the county with 50 going to First Fruits, a rehab facility in Jerseyville, 22 to an assisted living facility and a number even went to Jersey’s officers and deputies on duty during the holiday.

Nape said the event occurs every year with the Olive Branch Cafe opening its doors wide to those who need a place to go during Christmas day.

“Everybody’s welcome,” she said. “The doors are open and you just come in as you please... We will have it next year, absolutely.”

The issue: Few voices monopolize the platform Our view: Make your voice heard, write a letter

Publisher/Advertising Director: Nichole Liehr

A

long with informing the public of the goings on in the community, newspapers serve as the voice and the pulse of the community.

Nowhere is this more true than on the Editorial page.

The Editorial page is specifically a place to express views, overt or not, on local and nonlocal issues.

There are a few separate and wholly different pieces of the page. With the editorial — like this one — we have an avenue to express the views of the paper. Through columns regularly featured on the page, area people get a chance to voice their opinions that are most often stories about their life or their perspective on the world. And through the cartoon, another view is expressed — often in a funny and cheeky single-panel comic.

These elements of the page cannot fully encapsulate the views of the community, though. This is where the letter to the editor comes in.

The Jersey County Journal, like newspapers across the country, offers a chance for the community to speak directly to us and tell us what they are thinking. Unlike the editorial, these letters to the editor serve as view of the community — or individuals in the community — rather than that of the newspaper, a point that cannot be stressed enough.

This is the moment where the community can take true ownership over their paper, and exchange ideas with other community members — every community member — in a public forum. This can be a beautiful exchange of a range of ideas.

Often though, this does not feel like the case.

In a perfect world, we would have a flood of submissions come in from varied voices in our community, and the community would get a true understanding of where people are coming from.

Unfortunately, this flood is more of a drip. Too few submissions come in, and oftentimes, it is coming from only a handful of individuals.

This is a space that is far too often under-utilized, leaving only a select few as a representative voice in the community.

Issue and controversy, at the local or national level, rife for comment from the community crop up and very little or nothing is sent in for consideration — a disappointing reality to say the least.

The paper is for the community, and as such, encourages community involvement through these letters. And when there is little involvement, only a few voices are heard.

So, we ask the community: is there an issue that strikes you, is there a perspective not given enough light that you believe deserves to shine?

A letter to the editor would be a great space to express those views. We review and consider all submissions.

The Journal welcomes letters to the editor on topics of community interest.

Letters should be no longer than 300 words and must be accompanied by the original signature, address and daytime telephone number of the writer. No personal attacks will be printed. Letters should be addressed to the editor and not to an individual. We reserve the right to edit for brevity and fairness and to withhold letters that are determined to be libelous or untrue.

YOUR VIEWS Christmas ad should be least of worries TO THE EDITOR: Firstly, the Journal should be commended for publishing views that may be controversial or contrary to the generally accepted consensus. These past few years, we all have seen a dramatic rise in the dangerous sentiment that to disagree with an opinion means that you must seek to eradicate it entirely, which is as present a threat to one’s own freedom of speech as it is to the person’s who one seeks to silence.

We need to return to the idea of disagreeing with what someone says but wholly defending their right to say it. I applaud any instance where the Journal serves this ideal.

Now to the issue at hand. Recently, you published a letter decrying the Hallmark channel for running a Christmas movie featuring a gay wedding, citing it as an example of modern culture excluding Christ from the holiday.

This is what an old professor of mine would

censinger@campbellpublications.net

Kristianna Scheffel

call “majoring in the minors”: obsessing over one small issue while ignoring the larger, more obvious problems at work. If a person is genuinely concerned about Christmas losing it sacred character, they should find fault in the movie industry Hallmark has perfected and exploited for obscene profits.

At the expense of the true meaning of Christmas, it churns out hours of melodramatic shlock that perpetuates the lie that transcendence can be found through conspicuous overconsumption, group-mandated false cheer, and the reenactment of hollow human rituals divorced of any historical or cultural meaning beyond seeming vaguely “Christmasy.”

This formula in itself isn’t necessarily a bad thing, but it isn’t the message of salvation and grace I think of when I read the Gospel. Gay marriages are a thing that exist whether one likes them or not and should be the least of a concerned Christian’s worries.

JACOB EYERS Jerseyville, Ill.

Yes, communion wafers can burn T

his actually did happen.

It goes to show just how much trouble a couple of like-minded kids can get into at a New Year’s Eve service at church.

My brother, like most kids, hated consuming the communion wafers that were passed out for communion at church. To be honest, they tasted like cardboard — cardboard with little crosses embedded into them.

They weren’t actual cardboard, but, back then, not knowing any different, we thought the wafers were cardboard, and we hated eating them. That, and we felt there wasn’t enough grape juice handed out in the little cups to wash down the terrible taste. My brother especially hated them, and, one New Year’s Eve service, bored to tears and really too tired to be up so late, my brother decided to try an experiment with the wafer.

Never give a tired kid a communion wafer and a lit candle. Because no sooner did the lights in the church go down, and my brother and my cousin, Melony, receive their lit candles, then my brother decided to see, with the aid of the candle flame, if the communion wafer could burn.

Let me just say that a communion wafer will burn.

While everyone’s heads were bowed, Brad and Melony held their wafers over the open candle flame, and, much to their delight, the wafer began to burn. It also began to send tendrils of smoke over the heads of the praying congregation. Sensing trouble on the horizon, my brother quickly grabbed the wafer and ate the evidence.

He told me later, when I found out, that it tasted worse than cardboard. It was all black, scorched, and it burned really well.

Brad devoured it long before the call came to partake of the bread and when we reached to partake of the wine, Brad was more than glad to have an excuse to drink his grape juice to wash down the terrible taste of that burned-out wafer.

The surprising part is that no one noticed.

Brad, Melony, and then me, were the only ones who knew about the scorched, blackened wafer. No one else in the church was the wiser. The candles all gave off smoke, so the smoke from the burning wafer was masked by all the candles.

People were tired. It was midnight, and everyone wanted to go home and go to bed.

The congregation made its goodbyes, my

brother and my Guest Column cousin put on an

BY HEIDI MOORE innocent face, and no one, at least not that New Year’s Eve, ever knew about the experiment with the hated wafer.

Burning a communion wafer gives new meaning to the New Year’s Eve service.

With candles and a dark church, anything can happen.

My brother and my cousin were in the last pew, way in the back with no adults nearby, and I think that’s how they managed to go unnoticed by the adults. Up to that night, I believed those thin, bad tasting wafers were indestructible. You can’t scratch or dent them. About the only thing you could do was choke them down.

After Brad burnt the wafer, I realized that, yes, you can burn them. Like all food items, they will, if placed over an open flame, burn in a fire.

Like I said, it sounds horrible to burn a communion wafer, but really, it makes me chuckle. It reminds me of all the capers my brother, my cousin, and I got into at church, in which the church gave us a multitude of grace.

The church loved us, so we probably got away with more than we should have at the time. The communion wafer incident remained a staunch secret well into my early adult years. It finally came out one Sunday after church, long after it actually happened, and everyone was surprised, but not angry.

After all, kids are kids — even when they experiment with the communion wafers.

Churches have their ups and downs, but, all in all, they are full of good people — good people who are willing to laugh at the humor of the thing, along with giving some much-needed grace. I have a great church family here, as well as back at my old church in Coudersport, Penn. Even though people have moved on or passed away, the church is still home. Like the song on the radio says, “I want to go to church.”

Even when, in the back pew, on a dark night, Brad and Melony burn the communion wafer.

Man, I want to go to church!

Regional dance school gives grant to Jerseyville, St. Francis schools Two community classrooms were awarded this week after students submitted applications for the DK Dance Productions Cash for Classrooms grant program.

Checks for $250 were presented to Fallin Green of East Elementary and Elise Noble of St. Francis/Holy Ghost School to fund classroom projects.

Darci Ward, owner and founder of DK Dance Productions, a dance school with locations in Alton and Florissant, Mo., started the Cash for Classrooms campaign as a means to help fill the gaps in education funding for useful projects and materials that contribute to the students’ love of learning. “We chose these applications because the heart and detail put into these submissions were off the charts,� said Ward. “Both students did their homework and research

about cost and need, really going above and beyond.

"These students truly want more for their classrooms and are aware, even at their ages, that funding is not available for some of the projects they want to do. That’s where we are able to help.�

Ward said the initiative is part of their “more than just great dancing� philosophy. “We teach dance, yes, but there’s so much more to living a rewarding life,� she said. “Programs such as this give me an opportunity to live that philosophy while also teaching my students that everyone can do something to make the world a little brighter.

"My hope is that we are able to grow this program year after year and are able to fund several classrooms annually.�

Wednesday, Jan. 15, 22, and 29: Three-part video study on chronic pain, 1:30 p.m., at the Jerseyville Public Library.

From left to right: Jerseyville Mayor Bill Russell, Lisa Wittman, Kevin Goss, Beth King, Sydney Lorsbach, Alan Karcher, Kimberly Wade, Kyle Kelly, Beth Steckel, Jon Wade, Nick Bexheti, Abigail Mellenthin, Andrea Yoder, Heather Rothe and Whitney McIver.

Cancer Foundation in memory of Jonny Wade opens first office

The Kids Shouldn’t Have Cancer Foundation (KSHCF) has opened its first dedicated office in Jerseyville.

Their new premises will be located at 722 W County Road in Jerseyville.

The Kids Shouldn’t Have Cancer Foundation was founded in memory of Jonny Wade, shortly after brain cancer took his life at the age of 8. Despite the circumstances, Jonny believed he could – and should – make a difference for other children affected by cancer. The foundation was developed in honor of Jonny to honor his faith and strength by carrying forward his wish as the foundation’s mission, that no other kid should have cancer.

While KSHCF is a national organization which is dedicated to conquering pediatric cancer, it began in Jerseyville.

Founder and Executive Director Kimberly Wade thought Jerseyville would

be the perfect location of its first office.

“Jerseyville has wrapped their arms around Jonny, our family and this foundation,” she said. “It’s only fitting we thank Jerseyville for their support and give back to the community that has given so much to us. Jonny is buried in Jerseyville, and this town will always be our home.”

KSHCF was founded in 2016 and has been making significant strides to raise funds and awareness for pediatric cancer. The foundation added its first fulltime employee in 2018 and is currently recruiting a new position as director of development.

As the organization grew, it became apparent that a permanent, dedicated premises for the organization would be necessary.

Kimberly explained, “I’ve run this organization from my home for several

years, but as we’ve grown it became apparent that we needed a dedicated space for the organization. We have always been good stewards of our resources and intentional with every dollar spent, but we have significant potential for growth, and if we want to realize that growth, we need to make this investment in staff and office space for the foundation.”

And grow it has.

The foundation has raised over $1.9 million for pediatric cancer in its short existence. Its social media efforts span the country, and its Facebook page has over 70,000 regular followers. There are chapters of the foundation in both Jerseyville and Dallas. In addition to the fundraising and outreach efforts, Kimberly Wade regularly lobbies Congress for increased funding allocations for pediatric cancer research.
