Library continues search Individuals connected for wedding band owner to regional break-ins arrested

By LUCAS GARDNER Jersey County Journal The community, or more specifically the library, is searching for information about the owner of an old wedding band.

The Jerseyville library is in search of the owner of a wedding band that was left there a few years ago. The library suspects that the owner of the ring was married in 1927 based on the evidence provided by the ring's inscription.

However, in Jersey County, there were only six marriages in that time period, none of which match the inscriptions on the ring. “The ring was initially found Sept. 25, 2018, by an employee on the floor next to the circular desk in the library. We thought it would be best to post on Facebook to find the owner, but no one came forth to claim the ring,� Library Director Anita Driver said.

The ring is 14 karat gold and has an inscription that reads, “WC to WC� following the wedding date. “My grandma’s ring had the inscription on the inside, too, that must have been the style back then,� Driver noted.

Although it has been just shy of three years since the ring was found,

By CARMEN ENSINGER Jersey County Journal Following a high speed chase across counties, local law enforcement have made more arrests in connection to a slew of burglaries and thefts reported in the region, including Jersey, Calhoun, Madison and Greene counties.

The Carrollton Police Department, Jerseyville Police Department, Jersey County Sheriff’s Office and Illinois State Police were involved in the apprehension of the St. Louis-based individuals. “It was a combined effort among us all,� Jerseyville City Police Chief Brad Blackorby said.

It was over a month ago when several reports surfaced of car break-ins and even vehicle thefts in the region.

Several arrests were made in Calhoun around that time, and more arrests were made last week.

Carrollton Police Chief Mike McCartney said part-time Police Officer Jesse Faul was patrolling around 2:30 a.m.

Friday morning when he noticed some suspicious activity around the park near the Carrollton Pool. “He noticed this white car pulled up beside this jeep and two black male subjects jumped out of the jeep and into the car and took off, leaving the jeep in the middle of the road,� McCartney said. “They saw him and immediately took off and he started pursuing them.�

While it isn’t normally their policy, under dangerous circumstances, their department will give chase, McCartney indicated. “In a case like this, we will chase them down, and we will wreck them if we have to,� McCartney said. “I usually tell my guys to follow at a safe distance till they get in a town and slow down, but if they don’t slow down after that and they (suspects) continue at a high rate of speed through the town, we will do a pit maneuver to get them stopped before they kill someone.�

The subjects were headed to

library staff were reinvigorated to find the owner, and decided to reach out to the followers of their Facebook page, in search of the owner of this ring. “It has reached over 34,000 people,� Communication Specialist Beth Smilack said.

So, the hope among the staff is that someone somewhere knows something about the owners.

“But even now, we still haven’t had anyone claim the ring,� Driver added. “...It‘s possible that the owner of this ring is deceased, but I don’t know.�

At the time of publication, the owner of the ring has not been located.

Hansen’s Packing, Pig on a Wing jump into pizza game

By JARAD JARMON Jersey County Journal More and more are getting at least their first dose of the COVID19 vaccine, but that does not mean the community or the country are out of the woods yet.

Within a week, four more COVID-related deaths have been reported in the county. The Jersey County Health Department reported the latest of the four Jan. 26, upping the total deaths now to 44. “It is with great sadness that we announce another life lost,� a post on the health department social media page stated. “JCHD extends deepest sympathy to the family and friends of their loved one.�

State officials reported 87 deaths because of COVID-19 on Tuesday, bringing the state’s total to 18,883 deaths.

Currently, there are 82 active cases in the county. Of the total positives, 2191 have recovered, according to the health department.

Health officials are still working hard to get people the vaccine as supplies become available, now administering vaccines to those in the education field and to those 65 and older.

Officially, Illinois entered Phase 1B of its COVID-19 vaccine distribution plan Monday, making the vaccine available to residents age 65 and older as well as frontline non-health care essential workers.

Also, the state announced Tuesday that it would be adding Hy-Vee pharmacies to its list of locations offering COVID-19 vaccinations to the public, joining Walgreens and Jewel-Osco. The announcement brings the state’s current number of public vaccination sites to 278.

According to the Illinois Department of Public Health, an estimated 3.2 million people are eligible

JB Pritzker said in a news conference Monday that eligible residents may have difficulty obtaining a vaccine in the early phases as the federal government works to ramp up production to meet state demand.

Jersey County has hit the one percent mark. According to IDPH data, 1.02 percent of the population in the county has been fully vaccinated, roughly 225 people.

In total, 1,724 vaccine doses have been administered. Of note, the COVID vaccines require two doses about a month apart depending on the vaccine.

This data is reported based on the date IDPH receives vaccination reports from providers.

Providers are to report as soon as practicable, but reporting can be delayed as much as 72 hours, which can lead to a lag between vaccines delivered to Illinois and vaccines administered.

In other news, public health officials also announced Monday that eight cases of a new COVID-19 variant were identified in Cook County. The variant was first identified in the United Kingdom in November and spotted in Illinois on Jan. 15. The new variant is believed to be more contagious than the initial COVID-19 strain that originated in China over one year ago. Based on the information available now, the vaccine will still be effective, state officials say.

It was approximately 2:51 a.m. that morning when officers from the Jerseyville Police Department (JPD) got involved. At the time, JPD officers were notified that Carrollton Police were entering the city limits of Jerseyville while following a stolen vehicle out of their jurisdiction. “By the time we got involved, it had only lasted from approximately the high school to [Route] 109 and County Road.

McCartney explained further. “They were still doing 90 mph through Jerseyville on the rim with sparks flying everywhere,� he said. “They turned on Rt. 109, and Jesse decided to do a pit maneuver on them and spun them out into a ditch.�

No civilian vehicles were hit in the chase.

After spinning out, all four of the subjects in the car bailed out, leading to the one and only injury among those involved. “The only injury sustained was the subject bailing out of the car and scrapping up his knee, but he was treated,�

Major Scott Woefel with the JPD said.

Faul was able to apprehend the driver, a female, and two of the other three male subjects were apprehended by officers from other departments.

Jerseyville theater will reopen, but not for a while

By JARAD JARMON Jersey County Journal Lately, it has been the case that big blockbusters, once initially only available in a theater, have been given same day releases on streaming services, prompting the question: Will theaters be able to survive this?

For Jerseyville’s Stadium Theatre, at least, the answer is yes, longtime owner Steve Dougherty said. “We are definitely going to have to compete with streaming like we never had before,� Dougherty said. “But, we will still have our core of loyal customers and customers that want to go out and see a big screen production with surround sound, comfortable seating.�

The COVID-19 pandemic and the restrictions surrounding the virus has forced film studios to find other means to get their movies out in some way.

Pizza

(Continued from A1) The two owners were looking to do something different, when it comes to pizza and wings as opposed to what most people see with corporate pizza locations on every street. “Pizza to me is always what you like, but if you can present something that you like, more often than not, you are going to find people that agree with you and they also like it. So, we were going for something just a little bit different. We wanted to proof our dough with a mini-

Lately, that avenue has been streaming services. Recently, Warner Brothers announced that all of the movies it will release in 2021 will be available on HBO Max on the same day they premiere in U.S. theaters. This includes “Matrix 4� and “The Suicide Squad.�

Christmas marked one of the first instances of a blockbuster's simultaneous theater and streaming release, when "Wonder Woman" premiered on both big and small screens across the nation.

In the wake of these decisions, big theater leaders have been voicing concern for the future of the industry. But those feelings of doom and gloom are not felt locally. “With the stimulus, that is going to take care of small venues, small movie theaters...It looks like we have got some light at the end of a very long dark tunnel,� Dougherty said. “We are definitely going to be back. It is all a matter of

timing.�

For Dougherty, it has been about maintaining month to month at this point. That coupled with the stimulus has made the business and its future sound.

Dougherty is confident in the interest in returning to the theaters. “I am actually looking at replacing my digital projectors with new laser projectors‌ I am that confident,â€? he said.

Dougherty argued the theater experience could not be matched. “There is no experience like in a movie theater,� Dougherty said. “I know there are critics of people that talk during the movies and use their cellphones. We try to control that as much as possible, but there is still that experience about going out and enjoying a movie with other people – even strangers.�

All that he is waiting for is for a

steady flow of movies coming out to theaters. “What I am waiting for is a constant flow of product from the distributors,� he said. “At this point, they can’t decide if they are going to go streaming or they are going to go to exhibitors. They really can’t survive, especially with the blockbusters if they don’t go to exhibitions – if they don’t go to the movie theaters first and then streaming or DVDs.�

The theater was last open in July. “The problem right now is that there is not a definite schedule of movies coming out. You will hit one at random, but you can’t survive on old movies and some of the lesser movies that they are putting out at this time,� he said.

The big cities are going to have to open up a bit to generate the dollars to distribute these films. “It is going to take Los Angeles, San Francisco and New York reopening

mum of 24 hours, make sure everything was made by hand and use all of our products from Hansen Packing.�

Hansen and Walker wanted to make sure the quality of pie they produced consistently exceeded their customers expectations.

However, Pizza Crew did have some backlash against their pizza, but not for the taste – the shape. “We kind of had some negative or questionable criticism on the shape of our pizzas,

but that is part of it. We are learning that, when we put our dough through the heater it isn’t a perfect circle...This is a hand-cracked process, and it isn’t going to meet the exact same aspects every time, but you will be happy with the taste of consistency of the final product,� Hansen said. “We dont want something to look like it came off an assembly line, there are plenty of places that do that.�

Adding to this, Hansen said it’s a good thing they don’t

have a dine-in option. “We actually think this is a positive thing for us because we can focus on getting orders out quickly and picked up, and maybe add a delivery service soon or in the near future, and we don’t have to worry about the dine-in customers piling up or waiting for service,� Hansen said.

Currently Pizza Crew plans on focusing on their clientele and the continuation of quality of product. A delivery service is a future possibility, though.

the car in southern Illinois so the car was processed down there.

But when I interviewed him, he admitted to being here the last time.�

Corvis has charges of unlawful possession of weapon by felon, unlawful possession of stolen weapon and criminal trespass to motor vehicle against him. Dwyer was taken into custody and released to Carrollton police and has charges pending, according to a police news release.

McCartney said the three caught in Calhoun and the three caught in Jersey County are all part of the same gang. “We don’t know how big this gang is, but I think it is very large.

We have six of them in custody right now – three from Calhoun and three from our bust,� he said. “The female we talked to in Calhoun said that they are pretty organized.�

Blackorby explained they target multiple areas even outside this region. “We do not have them all under arrest yet, no,� Blackoby said. “I don’t think they are just targeting Jersey or Calhoun or Greene or anything. There is a big group that goes around to different areas including Illinois and Missouri.�

People are still encouraged, in general, to ensure their cars are locked and avoid leaving their keys in their vehicles. “You are just making it simple if you do it.� Blackorby said. “...

Take precautions like that.�

McCartney said they target expensive cars in an area, steal the keys, but do not steal the cars that night. “I don’t really understand how they do it, but they locate the area where the car is located in their phone,� McCartney said. “Then, a week or two weeks later, they come back and steal the car. This group has super extensive criminal histories. The gal we caught said she had been in the gang since she was 12 years old.�

McCartney said he thinks they have got two of the key players in the gang. “From what I have been told, I think we got two of the big key players in this gang,� he said. “Calhoun got one and this Little Quinn is one of the top ones.

We have video of them dropping guys off in Missouri that got shot. We got videos of them everywhere. Jerseyville has gotten hit a couple of times. I think Carrollton is as far north as they have come so far and we almost caught them the last time they were here and we did catch them this time and I feel pretty good about that.�

Blackorby commended the work done in apprehending these individuals. “The officers are out there doing a great job,� Blackorby said. “...It is good their efforts paid off and got some of these subjects here in custody. We are always proud of officers and the jobs they do.�

Break-ins

(Continued from A1) Arrested were Quindarian Laval Wright, 20, of St. Louis; Jamie Michelle Dwyer, 22, St. Charles, Mo. and Corvis D. Johnson, 35, Bel Ridge, Mo. McCartney said the fourth person is a 15-year-old male juvenile. “We are still in the processes of investigating it,� Blackorby said of the unidentified fourth subject. “We do have a name.

We just want to make sure everything is correct prior to. We are still going to file charges on this person. Until we actually do that, they are still pending right now.�

McCartney said Wright, whose street name is “Little Quinn,� is facing at least 18 counts of burglary related to the rash of burglaries dating back several months. Recent charges include unlawful possession of weapons by felon and criminal trespass to a motor vehicle. “We knew he had been here before because when we busted part of this gang in Calhoun a few weeks back, I went over there to do the interviews, and the female that got arrested said the guy, which she referred to as ‘Little Quinn’ had said that he had almost gotten caught in Carrollton that night,� McCartney said of Wright. “Aaron (Mehrhoff) had almost caught them that night and chased them that night but lost them in Jerseyville so we knew he was here but was just waiting on the DNA and fingerprint evidence. They found

for them to release these bigger, better blockbuster films,� Dougherty said. “I am hoping that happens by May 1, but I am only guessing.�

When the Stadium Theatre does open, it will certainly be “an adjustment and a reeducation,� with the growth of streaming services, but one he thinks will not overtake the film theater business. “It is less of a production than a large screen movie theater,� he said.

Dougherty noted they are consistently getting messages and calls to open, a heartening thought to say the least. And when they open, the staff will be eager and ready. “They are dedicated, and expressed that they wanted to come back to work,�

Dougherty said. “There are a lot of blockbusters on the shelves ready to come, so we are kind of excited about it.�

Reddish Family: a glimpse at pioneer life Guest Column F

BY BETH MCGLASSON

or nearly two centuries, the Reddish name was well-known throughout Jersey and Greene counties, especially in northwestern Jersey County, where the Reddish brothers owned huge tracts of land.

The surname ceased to exist in Jersey County when Kathryn (Snedeker) Reddish passed away in 2006. However, the Reddish name lives on through Reddish Ford, Reddish Road and the Reddish-Cooper, ReddishDunham and Reddish family cemeteries.

The Reddish family arrived in this area in the late 1820s, nearly two decades before Jersey County was carved from Greene County. It appears that all the Reddishs who lived in Jersey County descended from one couple, Joseph and Nancy Reddish.

A native of Virginia, Joseph moved to Kentucky and in 1802 married Nancy Cleaver, a native of the Bluegrass State. Joseph was a merchant by trade. In 1827, he decided to take a load of furs to New Orleans to sell. After bidding his wife and children goodbye, he was never heard from again. It was assumed he had been robbed and killed.

Later that year, Nancy moved her family to Illinois and settled in the thickly wooded hills of Richwood Township.

The journey of the Reddish family mirrors that of many of Jersey County’s earliest settlers. They, for the most part, hailed from Kentucky, Tennessee and other Southern states. These settlers wanted no part of the flat prairieland. A cast iron plow was no match for the thick roots of prairie plants, and because few trees grew on the prairie, many incorrectly assumed the soil was poor.

Instead, the majority of these immigrants settled in the part of the county that reminded them of home, the forested regions of western Jersey County, where timber for cabins and water from streams was readily accessible.

The first order of business was building a cabin. A man could construct a one-story log cabin by himself in a couple of weeks. A group of men could shorten that time to a few days.

The main room of the log cabin, called a pen or crib, served as a kitchen, living room, workroom and often the bedroom of the parents. Children shared beds in the loft if there was one.

The floor could be either logs with one smooth side, called a puncheon floor, or dirt.

In the case of the latter, some families dribbled the water left after washing dishes on the floor to help keep the dust down.

Cabins typically included a couple of windows covered with paper greased with animal fat to make them more translucent and waterproof. The door of the cabin was nearly always located on the south side of the cabin to let in as much sunlight as possible.

During stretches of extremely cold weather, pioneers cut branches from cedar trees and piled them against the outside walls of the cabin. They then threw water on the cedar branches to form a crust and then piled snow and dirt on top to form a crude insulation. Any spare blankets were hung inside on the walls.

Once the cabin had been built, the next most pressing job was to clear timber around the cabin and in flats and near streams. Here they would later grow corn, wheat, oats and other grains.

In those days, Jersey County still contained its virgin forest, and her western hills were

carpeted with vast forests of huge hickory and oak trees. Clearing timber was a painstakingly slow process; most men could clear only two or three acres a year.

To clear the land, pioneers felled and burned smaller trees. Large trees were girdled, a process in which a strip of bark is removed from around the trunk. Eventually, the tree died, rotted and fell. It was then burned and the stump pulled from the ground using a team of oxen.

Crops were simply planted around the stumps and trees until the field was completed cleared.

With six sons ranging in ages from 28 to 3, Nancy had lots of help to clear and farm the land. She also had the help of her 15-year-old brother, Benjamin Cleaver, who relocated from Kentucky with her.

In December 1829, Nancy Reddish remarried. Her second husband was Jesse Watson, a Pennsylvania native who settled in western Jersey County in 1822.

After Nancy married, Benjamin moved to eastern Jersey County and in 1833 became one of Ruyle Townership’s earliest land owners.

Benjamin and his wife, Rachel Thompkins, had a passel of kids, several of whom married in Jersey County. One of them, Delila, married William Eastham in May 1848. Soon after their marriage, Benjamin’s entire family, including Delila and William, left for Oregon to begin a new chapter of their lives.

Oregon’s Whitman Massacre had occurred less than a year earlier. In the incident, a group of Cayuse Indians killed 14 settlers after an outbreak of measles had killed nearly half their tribe, including nearly all their children.

Delila’s husband, William, served on the trial of the Indians who carried out the attack.

Even then, the trial was quite controversial due to the missionary’s behavior before the massacre.

While Benjamin was eager to find greener pastures, Nancy was quite content to live out her life in Jersey County, as were most of her children. One exception was her oldest daughter, Letitia, who didn’t move to Jersey County with her mother and siblings.

By 1827, when the family moved, Letitia was already married. However, she and her husband, David Myers, followed her family west a few years later and settled in Greene County in 1831.

But like her Uncle Benjamin, Letitia didn’t put down roots in this area. Attracted by the promise of free land in Texas, the couple, along with their children and grandchildren, headed southwest, crossing the Red River into Texas on Christmas Eve 1845, just five days before Texas gained statehood. The Myers were part of a group of Greene County immigrants who founded Carrollton, which today is a northern suburb of Dallas. David founded the first Baptist Church in Dallas County, earning himself a prominent spot in Texas history.

In my next article, we’ll learn more about the members of the Joseph and Nancy Reddish family who remained in Jersey County. –––––––––––––––––––––––––– Q Beth McGlasson is a history buff and vice president of the Jersey County Historical Society.

YOUR VIEWS Biden speaks unity, acts otherwise TO THE EDITOR: A recent article in The Heritage Foundation talked about Biden seeking to “unite� all Americans.

In the days to come we will see what that means. He clearly supports a very liberal agenda. An agenda which allows boys that consider themselves to be girls to compete in girls’ sports, use whatever restroom or locker room of the gender you identify with. A man identifying as a woman can even go to a woman’s shelter Sex change operations have to be paid for by the insurance company and doctors and hospitals have to perform them.

What “unity� is that? It sounds more like

an agenda being shoved down the throats of the people. An agenda that has no respect for privacy or God. It’s not unity at all. These laws will be imposed on the public. Anyone who refuses to comply will be sued and looked at as a bigot. This will result in an increase in rapes as the line between right and wrong will be blurred even more.

Our gender is not fluid as some would want us to think. It says in Genesis that we were created male and female. It is a matter of how God made us physically, not what we feel like. People who say that they feel like “a man trapped inside a woman’s body’’, or vice versa are saying that God didn’t know what He was doing when He made them.

God doesn’t make mistakes.

Nora Jones

Nora Irene (Lyles) Jones, 86, of Jerseyville passed away Wednesday, January 20, 2021 at St. Luke’s Des Peres Hospital.

She was born November 2, 1934 in Jersey County to Harry and Edna (Devening) Lyles.

On July 26, 1956 she married Norman Jones and they shared 62 years of marriage before his death on November 4, 2018.

Nora was a life-long resident of Jersey County. She attended Jersey Township High School and worked for a time at the Shoe Factory in Jerseyville. She was a homemaker, taking care of not only her family, but anyone else who needed help, young or old.

In her earlier years, Nora enjoyed bowling and golf.

Throughout her life, she enjoyed being active and working outside, whether mowing at the Raftis farm, working in her garden or mushrooming. She loved to cook and was known for her pies and macaroni & cheese.

She also enjoyed playing rummy with her children and grandchildren, word search puzzles, watching golf on tv and, always, a winning trip to “the boat.” In her later years, Nora could regularly be found on her screen porch or driveway enjoying the sun.

By far, her greatest joy was to have her family, especially her grandkids, around her, whether for a holiday meal or a weekly visit. Until the COVID Thanksgiving of 2020, she had hosted a Thanksgiving family gathering every year for 63 years and she was already looking forward to 2021’s gathering.

She is survived by two daughters, Rebecca (Tony) Pearlstone of Creve Coeur, Missouri and Jane (Stan) Vlasak of Maryville, Illinois; six grandchildren, Kather-

She was preceded in death by her parents, her husband, her beloved grandson Matt Pearlstone (Age 19, March 2006), brothers L.C. Lyles, Herbert Lyles and Dick Lyles, and sisters Ruby Williams, Essie Heitzig, Hazel “Pete” Jones, Mickey Wallace, Mae Vickers, Janice O’Brien and Violet and Dottie Lyles in infancy.

In light of the ongoing COVID-19 quarantine, a gathering for family and friends to share a meal and remember Nora will be held this summer.

Crawford Funeral Home is in charge of arrangements.

We would especially like to thank the Dugger family for all the care and happiness they gave Mom over the last two years.

In lieu of flowers, plants or trees, if desired, please consider donations to St. Jude’s Children Hospital.

Crawford Funeral Home in Jerseyville has been entrusted with arrangements.

Joyce Ann (Eller) Muenstermann Hall, 79, passed away at 12:54 a.m. on Saturday, January 23, 2021 at her home, surrounded by her family.

She was born on January 4, 1942 in Staunton and was the eldest child born to Johnny and Esther (Criner) Eller.

Joyce Ann grew up in Staunton with her two brothers, and graduated with the Class of 1960 from Staunton High School and continued her education at Lewis and Clark Community College in Godfrey, earning her Teaching Certification.

She married Patrick Anthony Muenstermann on September 2, 1961 and together their marriage was blessed with four children and 31 years of marriage, prior to his death on June 30, 1993. She later married James Hall, who also preceded her in death.

Joyce Ann was raised in Staunton, where she met her husband Patrick, and in 1966 they relocated to the Farm in Piasa, Illinois where they raised their family. Following Patrick’s death, Joyce Ann moved to Jerseyville and later to Litchfield, Nebraska, where she spent nearly 18 years, prior to settling back in Jersey County in 2019.

Joyce Ann spent over 25 years as educator at Saint Francis/Holy Ghost Catholic School in Jerseyville, where she spent much of her career teaching 7th Grade. She had a deep love for teaching and interacting with students. So

Local food banks have been busy during pandemic

By LUCAS GARDNER Jersey County Journal The local food banks of Jersey County have seen a sharp increase in demand for their services as the COVID-19 pandemic has wreaked havoc on the county and the nation.

Sarah Collins, an office administrator of the Jersey Township said this is the busiest they have ever been.

“We are as busy as we’ve ever been and have more donations than we have ever had.

The amount of personal donations and local businesses has more than doubled,” she said.

As a result of the donations, the Jerseyville Food Bank has been able to return the support of local businesses by purchasing perishable and non-perishable goods to stock their shelves. In other words, it’s a win-win for both the food bank and the businesses.

Like other area food banks, Jerseyville’s often gets their supplies from St. Louis Food Bank. This year, food banks across the area have reported the St. Louis Food Bank is running low on supplies more than would be typical, a result of increased demand during the pandemic. As a result, Jerseyville’s food bank works with other local businesses to buy the goods they couldn’t receive from St. Louis.

“They’re amazing about getting us stuff,” Collins said, referring to the local businesses.

On top of the donations, with the Federal Emergency Management Agency or (FEMA) grant they recieve, the food bank haa been able to help many families.

While it’s FEMA’s job to step up in times of crisis, according to those at the Jerseyville food bank, it’s the locals who have really stepped up to make sure their neighbors are taken care of.

The donations and efforts of locals have fed about 250-300 families a month since the pandemic started Collins recalled.

Before the pandemic, around 250 families frequented the food bank. Although 300 families isn’t a huge leap from 250, officials say that now the households rely more on

the food they receive because more kids are home.

“Since COVID hit, more people have been unemployed and out of work,” Collins said. “Earlier in the pandemic, people were at home and kids got their food at school.”

The result is more mouths to feed more often in a time when job security is faltering.

Unfortunately, families have more to worry about than just putting food on the table.

“The financial side (of our services) has been used heavily over the past few years,” Julie Goheen, Salvation Army case manager, explained. “We provide some money for water and electric bills. We’ve had an influx of people that are out of work over the course of COVID because of quarantine.”

The local Salvation Army partners with Illinois Valley, an organization which helps locals access grants and outreach programs like Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program or (LIHEAP), a federally-funded program that helps families temperaturecontrol their homes; the Fresh Start program through Ameren, which provides up to $700 for customers struggling to pay energy bills as a complication of COVID and Warm Neighbors and Cool Friends, a heating and cooling grant also provided by Ameren.

“These grants pay a lot more than the $150 per household, which is what is allotted to us for bills, but, with some of these grants being income based, not a lot of people use it,” Goheen stated.

In addition to the help of businesses and grant programs, community-based outreach centers like the food banks are also seeing an influx of support from less traditional sources.

Jersey County’s middle schoolers, for instance, raised over $1,000 and collected more than 2,000 canned goods for the Salvation Army this year.

The radio station also had a can drive for them just before Christmas, and it was a “huge turn out” Goheen said.

“It’s never ending, and it’s amazing.

Jersey County is one of the best.” Goheen said. “I imagine that we get donations every day of varying items.”

Former Jeseyville graduate gets launch certification

By LUCAS GARDNER Jersey County Journal It may be a small step for rocketeers, but it's a giant leap for Jersey County, now that Jersey Community High School graduate Ryan Croxford has received level-one launch certification from NASA. After graduating, Croxford decided to go to Washington University.

That same year, Croxford found himself looking into a rocket club at the university.

This moment set an unlikely course for him.

“I was a freshman in the right place at the right time.

I was checking out this rocket club and joined. It allowed me to become an experienced member within the club in a short time,” Croxford said.

It was the spring of 2020 when Croxford, making his way through his university, found the newly formed rocket club at the college.

Croxford and the club of fellow rocketeers found themselves working on the first iteration of a rocket together in 2020. With it being the first year for the competition they decided to give it a shot.

“We had no idea what we were doing. It’s been fun, a lot of work and pretty challenging. It’s a unique experience and I enjoy it a lot,” Croxford said.

After building and launching solid-fuel rockets on Nov. 8, Ryan Croxford along with fellow team member Caitlind Walker successfully achieved L1 (level-one) NAR (National Association of Rocketry) high power certification for rocket flight. This is the first step in achieving the L2 (level-two) high power rocket certification necessary to partici-

pate in the NASA Student Launch competition in April of 2021.

On a team upwards of 40 people, Croxford works as a lead in communication and retrieval. As a requirement of the competition, NASA called for technical papers and “lots of math” as Croxford put it.

“I have never had any sort of rocketry certification, and my rocket is about 5-foot tall. It feels pretty exciting to launch something big,” Croxford said.

But it wasn’t an easy competition for Croxford and team, even being an experienced member in the WU Rocket Club.

“Well, we ran into a lot of issues with rocket design at first. NASA pointed out a lot of the corrections we made on our design. The L2 certification shouldn’t be too bad. It will be a lot of work but it won’t be as difficult as redesigning the whole rocket,” Croxford said with a laugh.

“I used a kit rocket, which I made personally, to get my L1 certification. I also helped construct a subscale rocket, which is just a smaller replica of the rocket we are designing. The subscale is used for design testing purposes, and we successfully launched the subscale on Dec. 27. I will in the future contribute to the construction of the full scale rocket,” Croxford said.

Although Croxford officially has the L1 certification, there is yet another step to take with the team namely, the L2 certification. Essentially, there is another leg in the competition, which calls for a higher powered engine and a higher altitude. The team will be using the subscale rocket plans to build a stronger

engine and larger rocket to reach those higher altitudes and deliver the requested payload via NASA requirements.

“The L2 certification allows me to launch the rocket in April. It’s pretty cool. It means that I actually get to see the rocket fly,” Croxford said The NASA Student Launch is a competition that is normally held in Alabama but not this year because of COVID restrictions. It’s a competition between several schools based on altitude and payload requirement, which are then based on what NASA wants to see.

“We write technical papers for NASA based on our rocket, and then that is

graded as one of the requirements for the L2 certification,” Croxford said.

During L2 certification, Croxford and team will be in a conference with NASA discussing their design – meaning the technical papers, calculations and overall design.

Croxford and his team all worked together on this, and in the future Croxford hopes to see the fruits of his labor within the team come into play in future jobs he might pursue.

“This is definitely a stepping stone for me. Until I decide what I want to do in the future. I do a lot of design, leadership and communication and those skills extend beyond this,” Croxford said.

Normally, Roberts receives posters to be put up and discussed. However, Roberts and

Disterhoft thought it would be better if the middle schoolers engaged in creating a poster of their own design on the subject.

The opportunity was offered to all sixth to eighthgraders. Those who entered received a variety of rewards such as, art sets, gift certificates, popcorn tins and other snacks of sorts. Roberts and Disterhoft hoped to bring awareness to the topic of underaged alcohol use.

Every six weeks, Roberts posts a different prevention poster to raise awareness of such substances. Roberts intends to work with the community on these subjects in the future to help bring more awareness to the county.
