EDUCATION VACCINATION Vaccines initially went to those in healthcare, but now doses of the COVID-19 vaccine are being administered to local educators in the county like Brad Tuttle, Jersey Community School District superintendent. Registered nurse Caitlyn Hunter administered the vaccine to Tuttle. Roughly 300 educators have gotten inoculated as of Friday in the district with roughly 100 expected to get it later this week. According to the most recent data, 157 in Jersey County have been fully vaccinated, .72 percent of the population, and 1,228 doses have been administered.

Judge Lorton makes history on road to seat By CONNOR ASHLOCK Jersey County Journal

n Dec. 4, 2020, the Honorable Allison Lorton was sworn in as Jersey County’s resident judge, the first woman in the county’s nearly 182-year history to sit in the position. Lorton, though, would never have thought she would be in the legal profession at all growing up. In fact, she originally went to school to study finance, graduating with her degree in 2002. But, like any college student would admit, career plans can change quickly. One day, Lorton admitted to one of her teachers that she wasn’t entirely sold on the idea of a future in finance. Her instructor’s reply, though, surprised her. “He said I had a great mind for corporate law and asked if I ever considered it. My response was that I didn’t major in political science or any of those studies that comprised the field of law,” Lorton said. “He said, ‘Just try the LSAT. You’ll get a really good feel for how

your mind works.’” She took the Law School Admission Test (LSAT), thinking that she did terribly, but her results testified otherwise. So, it was settled: Lorton would study law.

Lorton was accepted into the Southern Illinois University School of Law at Carbondale, where she would graduate in 2005, but there’s more to the story than a few years of intense study. “That’s where I met Laef. He was

smitten,” Lorton said with a laugh. After dating for three years, they were engaged. Laef had an opportunity to work in a Chicago firm after graduating, but the prospect of starting a family in Chicago didn’t appeal to the couple, so they came up with a better solution— return home. While Laef worked on starting his own firm, Allison took a job in the Madison County State’s Attorney’s office. A little over a year later, Laef went in with Butch Wittman to start Wittman and Lorton, P.C., so Allison chose to move her career to Jersey County. After 15 years in the profession, the opportunity to run for Jersey County’s resident judge presented itself. Allison felt that it was something she was capable of tackling, as did her husband, who encouraged her to pursue the position. “I’m fortunate enough to be married to an attorney that without hesitation put my desire to be in this position before his aspirations. Being married as two attorneys is a dynamic that doesn’t always work, but it works for us,” Lorton said. (See, LORTON, A2)

Local law enforcement concerned over new reforms By LUCAS GARDNER Jersey County Journal Sirens are going off for local law enforcement after state lawmakers passed sweeping police and criminal justice reforms. On Wednesday, Jan. 13, the Illinois Senate passed HB3653 or the “Criminal Justice Reform Bill,” a 700-plus page omnibus bill set to change useof-force guidelines, require body cameras for every police department in the state, end cash bail and strip collective bargaining rights relating to discipline from police unions. And local police are voicing their concerns. Jersey County Sheriff Mike Ring-

"They are mandating body cameras, which I have no problem with, but the affording them is the issue."

Mike Ringhausen Jersey County Sheriff hausen took issue with the reforms as well, noting that it could hurt the community. “It will affect the community, and

in my opinion it will hurt. I do think there will be crimes that you will be put in jail for such as murder, but I just don’t know,” Ringhausen said. The omnibus bill was approved by the Illinois Senate and House a little after 4 a.m. after a one-hour discussion that Wednesday. “The way it sounds is we can’t protect ourselves or anyone else, and if it is the way it was presented, it is bad news,” Calhoun Sheriff Bill Heffington said. “But, I would like to get the facts first.” For local law enforcement, there is a feeling that a target is on their back with this reform. Heffington recalls a case where an individual took copious amounts

of pills just before being arrested, which resulted in an overdose in the law enforcement vehicle. This posed a big question for Heffington. “Well what could happen to me,” Heffington questioned. Things could be different with the “Death in Custody Act,” requiring law enforcement agencies to report to the Illinois Criminal Justice Information Authority (ICJIA) any case in which a person dies while in the custody of a law enforcement agency, local or state correctional facility or in custody of a peace officer and as a result of the peace officer’s use of force.

Lorton

(Continued from A1) Another source of encouragement in Lorton’s life has been her three children, Reese, Vanessa and Tate. “I tell them all the time that they can do anything they put their mind to, so I had to show them I meant that,” Lorton said. Though Lorton is the first female resident judge in Jersey County’s history, she will admit that she stands on the shoulders of giants that came before her who paved the way for a woman to pursue such an office unhindered. One of these giants was known to the Judge Eric Pistorius, who reached out to invite her to take part in Lorton’s swearing-in, an invitation she was delighted to accept. Justice Rita Garman, the second female judge to sit on the Illinois Supreme Court, had actually intended on swearing in Lorton, but had to quarantine just before the ceremony. Aside from being an Illinois Justice, Garman was the first woman to serve as an associate judge in the fifth circuit and the first woman in Illinois to sit on the appellate court for the fourth district. “I’m now the longest serving female judge in Illinois,” Garman said. For women in the Illinois Judiciary, Lorton summed up Garman in one word: a trailblazer. Garman began her legal career in 1968, a whole 37 years before Lorton did, and shared that the same opportunities afforded to women in the field today were not available at the start of her career. “When I got out of law school in 1968, I couldn’t find a job. They wouldn’t hire me because I was a woman,” Garman said. “The comment was made ‘What

would we do with you? No one wants to talk to a woman lawyer.’” Statements like that were more than just rare occurrences for Garman, who had to professionally handle other remarks as well. “My late husband and I were married when we were in law school, and they would ask me ‘How can you be a lawyer when your husband is a lawyer?’ And they would ask things like, ‘Would you feel the need to go home and discuss your cases with him?’ I would say, ‘Not any more than he’d feel the need to discuss his cases with me,’” Garman said. According to Garman, she got her first job by “sheer luck” when she was hired to keep the Vermilion County Legal Aid office open. Garman had just arrived in Danville and couldn’t even get in for an interview with the State’s Attorney’s office. “The chairman of the legal aid committee called and asked, ‘Would you come down and keep the doors to the legal aid office open?’” Garman said. “I replied, ‘I just got out of law school, what do I know about running the legal aid office?’” But Garman took hold of the opportunity and began to prove that she was a capable law professional. “I learned to practice law like you learned to ride a bike. I just did it,” Garman said. Just about 10 months later, the State’s Attorney offered her an assistant position in which she would handle family cases, an area of law in which, according to Garman, many women got their start in, including Lorton, who served in a similar area of the law when she worked in Madison County. One day, when Garman was going to court, someone

asked her if she ever thought about becoming a judge. “I said no, but he said, ‘You have the ability and the temperament,’” Garman said. After four years, she went to work at a firm with the understanding that she would run for judge if the opportunity ever arose, obviously giving some thought to the idea after receiving inspiration. “I was there less than a year when one of the associate judges retired and I applied,” Garman said. “I thought ‘What’s the harm if I don’t get it? I’m young.’” Later that year, on Christmas Eve 1973, Garman and her family were on their way to Oswego to spend Christmas with her family when WGN News had reported over the radio that a woman had been appointed judge in downstate Illinois. “I knew who that woman was,” Garman said with a laugh. She went on the bench as an associate judge for the fifth judicial circuit on Jan. 7, 1974. “Even after I became a judge, if I went to a judicial conference and my husband accompanied me, people assumed that he was the judge,” Garman said. Another particular instance stands out in her mind to this day. “I was presiding as a circuit judge when I went with the chief judge of our circuit to look at computer systems. We were checking them out and they were talking to the chief judge. He said, ‘You better talk to her because she’s the presiding judge and she’s going to make that decision.’ I had many instances like that.” Garman would go on to be the presiding judge of the fifth circuit before being

address.” “I would say the reason I have these opportunities is because of women like Justice Garman,” Lorton said. “When I came to a new community where I did not know anybody. Though my husband was from here, I did feel that I had to prove myself everyday to my clients,” Lorton said. “Men work just as hard, but as a woman, I felt I had a little more to prove. “...I’m grateful to Butch Wittman for bringing me into the office to be part of conversations and referring to me for legal questions. I was given the chance to prove myself and my abilities and was blessed with wonderful colleagues.” Now, as Lorton looks on to the years ahead, although she’s excited, there’s a healthy amount of fear and humility that she possesses. “I have such a respect for and appreciate the process of justice. I have an incredible chance to maintain the integ-

rity of the office, and I hope to live up to it,” Lorton said. “I swore an oath that I think about everyday to uphold the law, so I hope everyone who walks out of my courtroom feels that they were heard and treated fairly.” With justice to be administered rightly and fairly, the Constitution to uphold and protect, the admiration of young people to consider and the lives of those women like Garman who came before her to live up to, Lorton knows that a weight rests upon her as judge that is heavier than the limestone courthouse she discharges her duties from. But, there is no doubt that she will live up to the challenge with dignity for those who look to her to do so as well as those who come before her in the courtroom. From Justice Garman to Judge Lorton and every lady in between, the road has been paved broadly for a bright future for women in the Illinois Judiciary.

COVID (Continued from A1) Q Cinema and theaters can open with capacity limits and IDPH approved safety guidance. Q Retail is open with capacity limits and IDPH approved safety guidance. According to the IDPH, the region will be able to move into the next and final phase, the post-pandemic phase, once a vaccine is effective with widely available treatment, or the elimination of new cases over a sustained period of time through herd immunity or other factors. Health officials are still working diligently to get people the vaccine as supplies are available, now administering vaccines to those in the education field. In the county, 1,244 vaccine doses have been administered, and 161 have been fully vaccinated. Of note, the COVID vaccines require two doses about a month apart depending on the vaccine. Those 161 locals mean that .74 percent have been fully vaccinated, according to IDPH data. This data is reported based on the date IDPH receives vaccination reports from providers. Providers are to report as soon as practicable, but

appointed to the appellate court of the fourth district until she was appointed to the Supreme Court of Illinois in 2001, where she still continues to serve today. With a career that spans over 50 years, Garman has amassed quite the record. But, for her and her fellow female colleagues, it isn’t about what they accomplished for themselves, but for those that come after them. Indeed, Garman has aspirations for Lorton as her career takes off. “I hope to see her gain experience as a judge and become involved in judicial activities, particularly education and committee work on behalf of the court,” Garman said concerning Lorton. “I hope she will also be creative in developing approaches and programming for Jersey County that meets the needs of the public, because a circuit judge has a unique opportunity to serve the citizens and address issues the community needs to

reporting can be delayed as much as 72 hours, which can lead to a lag between vaccines delivered to Illinois and vaccines administered. And the excitement for the vaccine is palpable in the county, if not evident by the “overwhelming inquiries” the health department has received. Regarding the abundance of inquiries, the health depart-

ment issued a statement: “Due to the overwhelming inquiries, registration for COVID-19 vaccine is not open. Please continue to check our Facebook page and website for the most up to date information. When [the] vaccine becomes available, there will be a registration link on our website, Facebook page, and a registration hotline available."

Our VIEWS

JERSEY COUNTY JOURNAL

Jerseyville, Illinois

The Jersey County Journal is published weekly by Campbell Publishing Company, Inc., Timothy F. Campbell, president.

Our writers strive to center local perspectives

Phone (618) 498-1234 E-mail: circulation@ campbellpublications.net

The issue: Our story detailing a local’s perspective of D.C. Rally drew criticism. Our view: Our goal is to highlight the news in Jersey County, and that’s what we did.

Publisher/Advertising Director: Nichole Liehr

t is the case now, and it will continue to be the case into the future: Our intentions will always be providing our readers with the news local to Jersey County.

But such a focus can inevitably lead to contention or misunderstanding among readers whose perspectives on events vary, as was the case this past week following the publication of “Jerseyville woman details peaceful experience at D.C. Trump Rally,” a story detailing the personal experiences of a Jerseyville woman at the rally leading up to the Capitol riots. In the days following publication, the Jersey County Journal received a slew of messages and calls expressing disappointment and anger toward the contents of the story, arguing that we glorified the events of the day or misled readers as to what happened that day. This was not our intention, and in the wake of these concerns from our readers, we would like to stress our commitment to local perspectives and local news, even when covering national stories. When news broke showing crowds of insurrectionists descending on the U.S. Capitol in Washington D.C. following a President Donald Trump rally largely focused on contesting the election results, a wave of bewilderment, sadness and general shock fell across homes and businesses across America, including the Journal office. We, as many others in the community, were glued to what was happening approximately 850 miles to the east – a symbol of our democracy was being attacked. We all watched history unfold before our eyes. The Capitol has only once before been attacked in such a way. Certainly over the course of history, there has been violence and attempts of violence in the capitol, although still infrequent. But the gravity of the attack could only be compared to that of the British hundreds of years ago. The 2021 breach was the only overtaking of the Capitol since the British burned the building in August 1814. And in the day following the Jan. 6 riot, our reporters got word of an individual from the community that was in attendance at the rally – an odd chance to say the least. That individual was one of the estimated 30,000 that attended among the millions of Americans that could have gone. It was an on-the-ground and uncommon perspective we were eager to hear – a local’s account of what they saw near an infamous, historic attack. There was disappointment among readers though that the individual’s account was that of peace and not of the breach of the Capitol, but ultimately, that’s the news we provide. With national media broadcasting irrefutable video evidence of the violence and chaos at the Capitol, we felt this local perspective was important in reflecting the diversity of responses to the tragic event. Still, it would be disingenuous to ignore that despite what a local might have seen, the events of that day did turn violent, which is why we made sure to include the death toll in our article. We acknowledge that there were opportunities to include more context, including that in more than 50 lawsuits alleging voter fraud put forward by the Trump campaign in various states and courts, no evidence of widespread fraud was found. The truth of the events leading up to the insurrection weren’t the story though, the local perspective was. We at the Journal understand our readers’ frustrations, and it’s never our intention to let our readers down. Still, our business is local news, and our readers are diverse in their political beliefs, values and perspectives. At the end of the day, our job isn’t to convince you of our beliefs, it’s reporting on the local issues and events that matter to our readers, regardless of how we feel about them.

Maybe we need a break from COVID-19 M

ost of my columns recently have been about COVID-19 in one way or another. Maybe we need a break. Maybe we need to get as far away from that subject as we possibly can — at least for a week anyway. And the farthest we can get away from that subject, literally speaking, is to talk about “outer space.” In other words, let’s talk briefly about what we know, at this point, about the outer limits of “outer space,” and why we are about to discover much more about it. In 2016, astrophysicists, utilizing the Hubble Space Telescope, located a galaxy believed to be not only the oldest galaxy in the universe but also the galaxy that is furthest away from us out in the hinterlands of the universe. This galaxy has been given the name “GN-z11” and is believed to be 13.4 billion light years away from us. Expressed another way, 13.4 billion light years would be 134 “nonillion” kilometers away from us. And in case you are wondering, a “nonillion” is a bigger number than a billion, trillion, quadrillion, quintillion, sextillion, septillion or even an octillion; a “nonillion” is a standard number followed by 30 zeros. Wow. It makes the

head spin. In short, the GN-z11 galaxy is a long way away; the light we now see in the telescope when looking at that galaxy left there 13.4 billion years ago. And it appears that this galaxy is moving even further away from our galaxy (as are all galaxies) as time goes on. Scientists believe that it was formed 400 million years after “The Big Bang,” and that is why it continues to be moving away from us. Being able to study GN-z11 and these other earliest galaxies as they were forming allows us to better determine the physical process by which the universe developed in the first place. While we don’t know what might be out there beyond GN-z11, we may soon find out. That’s because on Oct. 31, 2021, NASA is launching the James Webb Space Telescope, which will basically put the most powerful space telescope ever built into orbit. This will be an orbit around the sun, believe it or not, in a path that at some points in the orbit will be a million miles from earth. By getting beyond the earth’s atmosphere with this orbit, scientists will for the first time potentially be able to view the universe even beyond GN-z11.

have figured out that men will do just about anything in order to feed their need for risk and adventure. Of course, many women will do this as well, but overall, it really is men who seem to test the limits of normality. With just a quick online search, one can find examples of those who are doing things from bungee jumping from bridges to those who are using flying suits to soar through a deep valley like a bird. As many of you know, there is even the Olympic venue called the X (extreme) Games. These are made up of men and women once again testing the limits of man and machine. It really does make you wonder who was the first to try some of these things, and is he/she even around any longer to see it come to fruition. They remind me of the teacher who leads the course in suicide bombing. He looks at his students and says, “Now watch close, I’m only going to do this once.” In the hunting and fishing world, we have these individuals as well. For instance, who decided

that hog hunting would be a lot more exciting if we rushed in on the hog when the dogs had it cornered and stuck it with a knife? And, how much was he drinking when he came to this conclusion? The same goes with the fisherman who decided that anyone can catch a catfish with rod and reel. Instead, he decides to reach in the hole where they live and bring them out by hand. All of these are simply examples of those who believe that if you’re not living on the edge, you’re taking up too much room. Is this normal? I actually think it is. Don’t get me wrong. I don’t think it’s normal to catch fish by hand and hunt hogs with knives, but I do think the desire to live on the edge is. In fact, I believe God made men this way and He wants us to live that way in areas that have an eternal impact. It can be something as extreme as flying Bibles into a communist country or as extreme as taking your paycheck that you depend on and giving it to a homeless individual. Both of these put you

in a riskier place. Wo u l d God ever ask us to do something like that? Well, the Bible Outdoor is full of Truths examples when He BY GARY did. The MILLER questions then are these. If God did it in the past, is there a possibility he would do it today? And, if he would do it today, is it possible he would ask me to do it? As you can see, the answer to both of these questions is yes.

YOUR VIEWS Local paper has influence that should be used wisely To the Editor: The Jersey County Journal shared a front page story describing an organized, violent storming of the US Capitol as “peaceful”. I want to preface myself and say I have respect for Republicans, even though our political ideologies don’t align. Jersey County Journal has a lot of influence with the people of Jersey County, and their stories have implications that resonate with the community. In light of the events that unfolded during January 6th and its immediate aftermath, I believe it’s imperative a news organization like Jersey County Journal go beyond bias in its reporting. Ms. Mueller’s personal ex-

perience may have been peaceful, and I’m grateful for that - violence is never the answer, and I’d never wish that on anyone - but unfortunately, her isolated experience doesn’t resonate with the lives lost, dozens of others injured, and the irreparable trauma inflicted on our elected officials at the capitol, those protecting them, other capitol employees, and millions of people watching. There weren’t just a handful of people that turned violent on January 6th, there were hundreds. These rioters proudly waved the traitorous flag of the Confederacy through the halls of our US Capitol. They broke through barricades, smeared feces on the wall, damaged

and confiscated federal property, threatened our elected officials, & did so gleefully. I had hoped these tragedies and the willful damaging of what should be considered the most sacred ground of our democracy would be enough to at least describe the events factually and not as “peaceful.” I love where I’m from. Jersey County helped mold me into who I am and gave me the character to express my opinion. I am so lucky to share such a wonderful town with people who have differing views, and I hope we can agree on what we call peaceful and patriotic. KATHERINE DAVIS Chicago, Ill.

and right now, I think that is what people need to do. Show support to the men and women in blue.â&#x20AC;? Ringhausen said this bill is a step in the wrong direction, but is uncertain how until itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s available for review. â&#x20AC;&#x153;â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The only thing that evil needs to triumph is for good men and women to stand by and do nothing,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; a quote from John F Kennedy. I slightly changed it, because there are women in law enforcement. I feel like this is where that bill is going, but I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know for sure until I can see it and read it,â&#x20AC;? Ringhausen said.

Ringhausen said that people who do this job need both motivation and compassion, and the people need to move â&#x20AC;&#x153;forward and not backwardsâ&#x20AC;? as he puts it. â&#x20AC;?You have to have drive and compassion, and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m proud to do this job. I have no problem laying my life down for someone. And if you hinder me and my duty, you force the citizens to arm themselves. We need to move forward not backwards,â&#x20AC;? Ringhausen said.

chancellorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s honor roll The University of Mississippi recently announced students named to the Fall 2020 Honor Roll lists, including Chancellorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Honor Roll, and one from Jersey County is among them.

Chancellor Glenn Boyce said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These students represent some of the best and

brightest at the University of Mississippi, and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m thrilled to congratulate them for their pursuit of personal and academic greatness.â&#x20AC;?

Reform

(Continued from A1) The bill will enact several changes to the criminal justice system over the course of the next few years such as: Q Criminals will no longer have to post bail Q Changes regarding felony murder Q Changes on the use of force Q New training requirements Q Changes on officer immunity Q Unfunded state-mandated body cams The bill is still being reviewed by the Sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Association. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know how this bill even passed,â&#x20AC;? Jim Kaitschuk, president of the Illinois Sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Association, said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Even California didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do this. They put it on a ballet and voted.â&#x20AC;? From Kaitschukâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s perspective, this was poorly executed with no effective way to communicate, and he stressed â&#x20AC;&#x153;poor is a big understatement.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;We werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t allowed access to the Capitol due to COVID, which is a problem in itself, but I was on the phone with legislators that were at the Capitol,â&#x20AC;? Kaitschuk said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They introduced an amendment at 3 a.m. with an hour to debate a 700page bill and no effective way to share concerns. The opportunity for public comment was limited and the execution of it was poor and that is a big understatement.â&#x20AC;? Ringhausen expressed great disappointment after hearing this bill had been passed by the general assembly and expects it could put citizens at risk. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is potential danger to citizens just because of the fact that we wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be able to hold criminals accountable,â&#x20AC;? Ringhausen said. Ringhausen said he has never seen such a thing before. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been fighting for the right thing for 30 years. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know how we will ever come back from this,â&#x20AC;? Ringhausen said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m just dumbfounded about this, on a personal level it feels like we are not supported in doing our job,â&#x20AC;? he later added. Even things that Ringhausen did not take issue with might still be problematic in implementation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They are mandating body cameras, which I have no problem with, but the affording them is the issue,â&#x20AC;? Ringhausen said. That is not the only seemingly unfunded mandate. The bill requires law enforcement to have more training for officers, but the state has cut the budget. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Where is the money to do this,â&#x20AC;? Ringhausen questioned. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have concerns, but until I can get my hands on the bill and read it, I just donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know.â&#x20AC;? In the current state of the bill, Ringhausenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s second concern is that law enforcement

will no longer be supported. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not a person that is to be compared to David in the Bible, but I raised my hand and swore an oath to do my job and face the giant. Right now, I have no rock and no sling, and it makes me feel like Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not supported,â&#x20AC;? Ringhausen said Ringhausen says that now more than ever is the time to support law enforcement and officers alike. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think now is the time to reach out to law enforcement and let them know you support them. It takes 10 seconds to say thanks for your service,

Downtown Country Christmas plans for next year underway

Bright Nights launched in the Jerseyville area on Small Business Saturday, Nov. 28. Along with all the holiday shopping options in town and all the locally run eateries and bars, volunteers had painted the town with light. They placed 30,000 lights at Dolan Park, 10,000 at Rotary Park and another 10,000 on the courthouse square. Numerous business owners have reached out to tell the festival committee how successful the evening was even though the changes had to be made because of COVID. The festival committee made a point to acknowledge all the families who walked downtown checking out the festive holiday window displays. Over 25 wonderfully decorated windows filled the downtown Jerseyville area just in time to start the holiday season. Fourteen of the holiday windows were built by the talented artists that bring all the holiday decorations to the Christmas Festival every year, and the Bright Nights event planners expressed thanks to partner with the local business to use their storefronts. Already, the Downtown Country Christmas Festival board has six businesses who have signed on for next year. The festival committee has

Michael Ward with the Downtown Country Christmas Festival, Inc. takes down the remainder of the organizationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Christmas light display at Dolan City Park on Jan. 14. The display was part of the organizationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Bright Nights event, which sought to support local businesses by attracting folks to Jerseyville to see the lights and safely shop and dine in town.

some big plans for next year if the funding can be solidified before the fall of 2021. They will add additional displays to Dolan Park and possibly other special displays if possible. According to call logs, emails and instant messenger, event planners had just about 600 inquiries concerning visits to Jerseyville because of the lights. Visitors were extremely appreciative that volunteers had created a way for families to get out of the house and drive around in the safety of their car. This holiday season

was different but seemed to be a welcome outlet for families to visit Jerseyville and experience what the community has to offer.
