This was not the start of his experience in firefighting, though. Before, he had a nine year-long career as an engineer in the navy, where he had already dipped his toe into the proverbial pool of firefighting. In such a role, he was automatically trained in firefighting.

“I am going to miss the people for sure. I am going to miss my men.”

Alan Gowin Retiring Fire Chief When he returned to Jersey from his service, he had an interest in serving his community as a firefighter. “All I know is I wanted to help people,” Gowin said. Gowin experienced a lot in his time with the department. A fire he will never forget was that of the bowling alley fire. A plane had nosed dived into the roof. At the time, the owners were redoing the lanes, and because of it, the solutions on the lanes lit up quick. He remembers going in for a short time spraying the fire from the back bar, alongside Billy Russell. Some of the other finer details have left, but he did remember one thing “It was big and hot,” Gowin said. When looking back, though, “just being able to save somebodies' homes, or safely get someone cut out of a car” were his proudest moments. In his time with the department, Gowin had a lot of other calls he will never forget — for good or for bad. “A lot of things stick with me, but they won’t be mentioned,” Gowin said. When he wasn’t getting called out to fires, he worked for his father as a diesel mechanic, a job he held for several years before later working as a part of the Jerseyville Street Department. Gowin was then selected to head up the Jerseyville Fire Department in 1995 as the Jerseyville Fire Chief, a role he

maintained up until now. “Basically, I knew that I could do it with my military background, and we have come a long way,” Gowin said. Since then, the fire department has evolved and bettered itself. During his tenure, the area's ISO rating, which judges how safe the town is from a fire insurance perspective, dropped down from 9 to 4. One is the best and 10 is the worst. Gowin said bringing the rating down took, among other things, ensuring fire equipment was tested annually and that fire reports were completed promptly. He credits the department as a whole for this achievement. “That took the whole fire department to do that,” he said. “I just did my share.” Gowin said he was proud of seeing how far the department has come. “And, the next guy will take it on farther. I know they will,” he said. Gowin is set to be followed in his position by Keith Norman. It was

announced at a Jerseyville City Council meeting that Norman will serve as a part-time fire chief for the department. Gowin is not apathetic to what he is leaving, though. “I am going to miss the people for sure. I am going to miss my men,” he said. In retirement, Gowin does not plan on continuing as a volunteer firefighter but does not have a plan yet for what he will do. He knows it will be something, though. “I don’t know yet,” Gowin said. “I gotta do something. I can’t just sit at home.” He might stop by the department for coffee and to catch up — that is of course if they let him in, Gowin joked. “They might change the door code,” Gowin said. No matter when he left, Gowin was sure the department would thrive. “I'll let them prosper on their own, and they will,” Gowin said. “They’ll be fine.”

Bright Nights preparation begins By CONNOR ASHLOCK Jersey County Journal Though the annual Downtown Country Christmas Festival has seen a setback this year, there is by no means a setback in Christmas spirit on the organization’s part. There’s so much spirit, in fact, that the group of volunteers has already started decorating. With the help of the City of Jerseyville and the Jersey County government, the folks with Downtown Country Christmas are gearing up for their first annual celebration of Bright Nights, an event that encourages folks in the community and region to enjoy some memory-making times together from the safety and comfort of their vehicles. Last week, Michael Ward, president of the Downtown Country Christmas Festival, Inc., assisted by some dedicated city employees, worked to decorate Dolan Park in preparation for the upcoming Christmas season. With a little sweat and ambition, the group was able to knock out quite a chunk of work in their aim of decorating 50 trees in the park. In addition to the lights, workers are hoping to have additional holiday-themed elements in the park, including inflatables in the pool area, but they don’t plan on keeping their efforts restricted to just Dolan Park. “We want to light up the town more than at just Dolan Park,” Michael Ward said. “We hope to do Rotary Park as well. There’s an issue with the power at that park that we’re working to resolve now before we decorate it.” Ward also plans on spicing up the courthouse square with a little holiday cheer as well, as per usual. “Seeing the courthouse square lit up for the Christmas season is becoming a staple in the community, so we’re really excited to keep that tradition going this year,” Ward said. If Bright Nights is well-received by the community, Ward

hopes to incorporate it with the Downtown Country Christmas Festival in later years. Already, city and county government are eager to see Bright Nights come to fruition, as it will hopefully provide some much needed cheer and stress relief to what has been a hard year for everyone. “Zach Crawford especially, as well as fellow city and county officials, are excited to have us extend the Christmas festivities to Dolan Park. We’ve never put lights up in the park before, so we’re eager to see what it all looks like when it’s finished,” Ward said. Bright Nights will begin after Thanksgiving and run throughout the entirety of the Christmas season.

Obstacles no match for Ironman Dane McGuire By MEAGAN MCGLASSON Jersey County Journal The pandemic has made it obvious that when it comes down to it, there are really only two kinds of people in the world — those that have taken the time at home to better themselves physically and mentally and those of us who opted to just throw away our mirrors and live in comfortable pants for a year. A local man, Nathaniel “Dane” McGuire, definitely falls into the first category. For many, the idea of an athletic 26-year-old man isn’t mind-blowing. A 26-year-old man who completed 276 miles of biking and running over the course of 12 non-consecutive days of competition, however, is pretty impressive. A 26-year-old man who did all of that with a physical disability, though, is truly inspiring. “I have minor spastic hemiplegic cerebral palsy,” McGuire explained. “Which is a long way of saying that my right side — in my case, it’s my right side — is, I wouldn’t say ‘useless,’ but it’s pretty darn close.” McGuire’s disability is the result of a car crash his mother was involved in while pregnant, leading to him being born three months premature. Still, both survived, and Dane grew up. “I came [to Jerseyville] in 2011. I graduated [from JCHS] in 2013. Right after I moved in with my dad, I had my last surgery. When I say I’m an Ironman… that’s literal. I have metal in my leg,” he said. (See, IRONMAN, A2)

Jersey County back at warning level for COVID-19 By JARAD JARMON Jersey County Journal Jersey County has once again been listed as a warning level county for novel coronavirus. In a report sent out at the end of the week from the Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH), Jersey is one of 51 counties to be considered at a warning level. Fifty-one counties at a warning level as of Friday include – Adams, Bond, Boone, Carroll, Cass, Christian, Clay, Clinton, Crawford, DeKalb, Douglas, Edwards, Fayette, Ford, Franklin, Gallatin, Greene, Hamilton, Henderson, Jersey, Jo Daviess, Johnson, Kane, Kendall, Knox, LaSalle, Lee, Macon, Macoupin, McDonough, McHenry, Mercer, Morgan, Moultrie, Ogle, Perry, Pike, Pulaski, Rock Island, Saline, Shelby, Stephenson, Union, Vermilion, Wabash, Warren, Wayne, Whiteside, Will, Williamson and Winnebago. Although the reasons for counties reaching a warning level vary, some of the common factors for an increase in cases and outbreaks are associated with gatherings in people’s homes, weddings and funerals, bars and clubs, university and college parties as well as college sports teams, family gatherings, long-term care facilities, correctional centers, schools and cases among the community at large, especially people in their 20s. IDPH uses numerous indicators when determining if a county is experiencing stable COVID-19 activity, or if there are warning signs of increased COVID-19 risk in the county. A county is considered at the warning level when at least two of the following metrics triggers a warning: Q New cases per 100,000 people — If there are more than 50 new cases per 100,000 people in the county, this triggers a warning. Q Number of deaths — This metric indicates a warning when the weekly number of deaths increases more than 20 percent for two consecutive weeks. (See, COVID-19, A2)

(Continued from A1) Q Weekly test positivity — This metric indicates a warning when the 7-day test positivity rate rises above 8 percent. Q ICU availability — If there are fewer than 20 percent of intensive care units available in the region, this triggers a warning. Q Weekly emergency department visits — This metric indicates a warning when the weekly percent of COVID-19-like-illness emergency department visits increase by more than 20 percent for two consecutive weeks. Q Weekly hospital admissions — A warning is triggered when the weekly number of hospital admissions for COVID-19-likeillness increases by more than 20 percent for two consecutive weeks. Q Tests performed — This metric is used to provide context and indicate if more testing is needed in the county.

Health Department officials stressed the public needs to continue to follow the basic COVID-19 guidelines — wash your hands; wear your mask; watch your distance and avoid large crowds. In Jersey, there are 38 active cases. Four hundred and fifteen have recovered, and 21 have died in relation to the virus, according to the most recent health department update on Sunday, Oct. 25. In related news, the Jersey County Courthouse was shut down for a day following news of a confirmed positive case in the State’s Attorney’s office over the weekend. A deep clean of the courthouse was done, and everything went back to normal operations Tuesday — at least as normal as has been the case while also adhering to COVID19 guidelines. The administrative building was not closed during this time. The Greene County Health Department reported two more COVID-19 related deaths in Greene in the past week. These deaths were related to the long term care outbreak and bring the total deaths to 19 as of Oct. 26. Also, the health department reported 12 new active cases in the

county — all community acquired. In total, there are 52 active cases in the county. According to the health department, 265 have recovered from the virus. In Calhoun County, there are 13 active cases as of Monday, Oct. 26. As of that date, 74 has since recovered. Notably, Calhoun has yet to have a COVID19 related death. Calhoun remains one of only a handful of counties that has yet to report a death — along with nearby counties such as Scott and Brown. Another warning level county, Macoupin County, has nine new cases as of Monday. As of this last update, there were 395 active cases, 446 people who tested positive for the virus have since recovered, and 13 have died. The presence of the coronavirus in these counties persists as cold weather and more holiday social gatherings converge worrying some health officials about the change for more coronavirus transmissions. Even still, local health departments have been persistent and active ahead of these potentially high transmission events such as trick-or-treating on Halloween, and have been

(Continued from A1) Then Dane went on to Wester University, where he says he had a wake-up call when he was 23. Like so many do in their 20s and 30s, he realized that he wasn’t taking great care of himself mentally or physically, and he decided to do something about it. McGuire began with weightlifting and dieting, something he says he was passionate about immediately. His efforts were thwarted, however, when COVID-19 shut down both the university and the gyms. “I was a lot more cognizant of my decline, even within a month,” he explained. “And I was like, ‘Well, I have to do something,’ and I started running.” Those runs were facilitated by smartphone apps, which allow runners to don wearable devices and log distance and time as they complete challenges. McGuire’s first competition was a 16-mile run-bike-run event. The most recent he completed was an Ironman world championship event, which broke up 140.6 miles of events over seven days. McGuire finished in six. “When it comes to my relationship with Ironman, it was not only ‘Can I do this?’ You know, I asked myself ‘Can I do it again? And again? And again?” he explained. “I run with… those knee sleeves and elbow sleeves, because it’s not a question of if I’ll fall, but when. So I just kind of have to prepare for it.” As if falling could stop Dane McGuire. “I’m an intense dude, I’ve

pointing people to safe avenues in which to celebrate everyone’s favorite traditions during the spooky season. As previously reported, IDPH has guidance on the issue and how one can be safe this year trick-ortreating. According to the IDPH, trick-or-treating events need to incorporate social distancing, masking and proper hand washing, as well as adherence to event size limitations. This year, it was said that it would be safest to plan special events at home, using social media and other meeting platforms to connect with family and friends. For those who choose to celebrate in-person, IDPH covered safe ways to go out and nab some candy. As an alternative to doorto-door trick-or-treating, anyone who would like to distribute treats should leave individually wrapped candy or treats on a table, on their front walkways, sidewalks or any outdoor space that allows for at least 6 feet of social distance from the door. The individually wrapped candy should be spread out so each piece is not touching another. Also too, IDPH officials urge anyone

distributing candy or treats to wash their hands properly for at least 20 seconds before placing the candy on the table and when replenishing. All individuals participating in trick-or-treating, including those passing out candy should maintain social distance of least 6 feet and wear proper face coverings. IPDH officials report a costume mask, such as those worn for Halloween, is not a substitute for a face covering. If face coverings are worn under costume masks, please ensure this does not create breathing problems, and if so, discard the costume mask. Furthermore, the IDPH says only household members should trick-or-treat together, and they should maintain a 6-foot social distance from other trickor-treaters at all times. Mixed household trick-ortreaters are discouraged. Alcohol-based hand sanitizer should be carried and used frequently. Candy collected during trick-or-treating should not be consumed until after hand washing. As always, a parent/guardian should check all candy to make sure it is wrapped and should discard unwrapped

candy. Also, outdoor areas are preferred for trick-or-treating. In some parts of the county, trick-or-treating were officially given the green light already. Alternatives like that of trunk-or-treating, of which there are a couple events slated for later this month, have their own set of guidelines. Trunk or treat events are considered a higher risk activity and are discouraged. An alternative activity involves trick-or-treating in a large parking lot or other outdoor setting with adherence to social distancing. Tables are pre-set up with participants allowed to parade with a parent/ guardian while maintaining at least 6-feet social distancing and wearing proper face coverings at all times. A limited number of people should staff the event, keeping tables replenished and monitoring social distancing, according to the IDPH. And also, proper hand washing should be performed before candy is consumed.

never been one to not stand up for myself. Just because I have a disability, I don’t need anyone to try and be a hero,” he said. “As a disabled person, I grew up, I did three years in the Special Olympics.” He ultimately left the Special Olympics competitions, he says, because he felt the recognition and awards, like the gold medal he won after the only competitor in his softball throw event didn’t show up, were more for participating than for being a truly exceptional athlete, at least in his case. So, McGuire sought out other forms of competition, including sled (or adaptive) hockey, which led him to play an exhibition game with the St. Louis team. “It was real important to me to be able to play hockey… I’ve been watching that team since I was seven. And even though I didn’t get to take things to a grand scale, and even though I’ll never be a professional athlete, it means the world to me that I got to put on the Blue Note at least once. I can be satisfied with that.” Now that his competitions are of a more intrapersonal nature, McGuire says he’s been able to focus on his career, which he has been pursuing since he was 13 years old. In fact, McGuire is hoping to hear back on a job that would allow him to cover MMA events as a journalist in Las Vegas. “When I was younger, I wanted to be a professional wrestler, and I wanted to be a world champ… But you eventually lose your delusions of grandeur… and it’s like, ‘What other ways can I

be involved,’” he explained. “It may not be the way I or anyone else pictured it, but I’ve always prided myself on being the guy who did what I said I was going to do.” And he’s already had wild success pursuing that path. In fact, McGuire has been featured internationally in London’s Fighters Only Magazine and on FOX Sports Radio- St. Louis. He also serves as the U.S. correspondent for the International Mixed Martial Arts Federation and media relations director for the United States Fight League (USFL) at the youth development level. With an incredible story and nothing but success on the horizon, it’s apparent that nothing can stop the progress of Dane McGuire. Though it’s been a difficult road, he’s ready for whatever comes next. “I wasn’t able to see it in the process, but this is the person I was meant to become… I’m forged in fire,” he explained. With the support of friends and family, including the late great band teacher and McGuire’s unofficial “PawPaw” Don Kimpling, McGuire said he’s excited about the future and ready to inspire others to go after their dreams, no matter how out of reach they may seem. “I just want people to know that like, if you’re willing to suffer — absolutely suffer, more than you have ever suffered in your entire life— whatever your pursuit is, you will be an entirely new and simply better person on the other side of that suffering,” he said.

Study shows Jersey ranks 72nd in state for lowest tax burden By JARAD JARMON Jersey County Journal According to one financial institution analyzing the tax burden of counties across the state and the country, Jersey County ranks 72nd among other counties in the state and has a rank of 2,867 across the nation for the lowest tax burden. In its sixth annual study on the places with the lowest tax burdens, SmartAsset, a New York financial technology company, analyzed the income, sales, property and fuel taxes in each county. The places where residents had the lowest overall tax burden across those categories ranked the highest, a new release stated. Counties on the southeastern edge of the state covered the top ten spots in the ranking, outside of a neighboring county, Greene County that ranked No. 10. To find the places with the lowest tax burdens, SmartAsset calculated the amount

of money a specific person would pay in income, sales, property and fuel taxes in each county in the country. To better compare income tax burdens across counties, they used the national median household income. They then applied relevant deductions and exemptions before calculating federal, state and local income taxes. Jersey, like with the rest of the counties in the state, has a median income tax of $11,220. Illinois has a flat tax rate, which might change with the potential approval of a tax referendum that is on the ballot this year that would introduce a graduated tax system to the state. In order to determine sales tax burden, the financial tech company estimated that 35 percent of take-home (after-tax) pay is spent on taxable goods. They multiplied the average sales tax rate for a county by the household income after taxes. This balance is then multiplied by 35 percent to estimate the sales tax paid. According to the survey,

sales tax in Jersey averages at $1,202. For property taxes, they compared the median property taxes paid in each county. In Jersey, the median property taxes paid is $2,617. For fuel taxes, they first distributed statewide vehicle miles traveled to the county level using the number of vehicles in each county. They then calculated the total number of licensed drivers within each county. The countywide miles were then distributed amongst the licensed drivers in the county, which gave the miles driven per licensed driver. Using the nationwide average fuel economy, they calculated the average gallons of gas used per driver in each county and multiplied that by the fuel tax. In Jersey, average fuel tax paid in the county is $181. From all of this data, they then added the dollar amount for income, sales, property and fuel taxes to calculate a total tax burden. Finally, each county was ranked and indexed, on a scale of zero to 100. The county with the lowest tax burden received

a score of 100, and the remaining counties in the study were scored based on how closely their tax burden compares. Jerseyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tax burden index is 54.01; Greene, 64.72; Calhoun, 59.22 and Pike, 61.92, according to SmartAsset. The top ten counties in the state with the lowest tax burden are Alexander, Pulaski, Hardin, White, Pope, Gallatin, Lawerence, Edwards, Wayne and Greene. Across the scale, though, the tax burden is not the greatest by a long shot in Illinois in comparison to the rest of the country. For some perspective, Alexander County, with a tax burden index of 69.28 and lowest tax burden in the state, is ranked 1,582nd nationally. In the US, the county with the lowest tax burden is Yukon Koyukuk in Alaska, just ahead of Aleutians East also in Alaska. Some of the states with the lowest tax burdens include North Dakota and South Dakota, Texas, Florida, Nevada, Arizona and New Mexico among others.

IDNR announces controlled pheasant hunting program changes The Illinois Department of Natural Resources (IDNR) announced changes to controlled pheasant hunting for the 2020-21 hunting season. The changes, health and safety protocols implemented in response to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, will provide greater protection to both the hunting public and site staff during the season. Standby Controlled Pheasant Hunting Permits will not be available this hunting season. Pheasant hunters will need to acquire a Reserved Controlled Pheasant Hunting Permit to hunt on controlled pheasant hunting sites. Reserved Controlled Pheasant Hunting Permits can be acquired through the online reservation system available on the Controlled Pheasant Hunting website at this link: https://dnr2.illinois.gov/controlledhunt/. To make acquiring a reserved permit more convenient, hunters will be able to reserve a permit until noon the day before a hunt date. On IDNR-operated sites, the daily fee for permits acquired online for controlled pheasant hunting is $30 for resident hunters and $35 for nonresident hunters. The daily permit fee applies to each individual hunter. Hunters are required to pay for permits acquired online over a secure system using a major credit card. A transaction fee of $1 for a single hunter or 2.25 percent of the permit fee for multiple hunters will be assessed for each permit, except for permits for the Illinois Youth Pheasant Hunt. Illinois Youth

Pheasant Hunt Permits are issued at no cost. All but one of the controlled pheasant hunting sites have ample reserved permits available for all days of the controlled hunting season. Illinois Youth Pheasant Hunt permits are also available for all but one controlled pheasant hunting site. Hunters are encouraged to make the necessary planning adjustments now to hunt on the sites on the hunt dates desired. Hunter check station procedures will also change on controlled pheasant hunting sites as part of health and safety protocols. Hunters are advised to wear an appropriate face covering and maintain appropriate social distance when in the hunter check station area. Hunters should also pay attention to advisory signs with information about check-in procedures. Check-out procedures will also change at many controlled pheasant hunting sites this season. Check-out procedures will be announced during the registration process. Special note for the 2020-21 hunting season: Non-toxic shotshells are required when hunting at Des Plaines SFWA, Horseshoe Lake SP, Jim Edgar Panther Creek SFWA, Mackinaw River SFWA, Silver Springs SFWA, Chain Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Lakes SP, Eldon Hazlet SRA, Green River SWA, Johnson Sauk Trail SRA and Wayne Fitzgerrell SRA. Hunters are reminded when hunting at any of these sites that only non-toxic shotshells may be in possession.

alloween is just on the horizon, and we all know what that means: blink, and it’ll be Thanksgiving followed shortly after by Christmas and the New Year.

This year, we’re contending with a totally different kind of holiday, one that feels more needed than ever before after a year of social distancing, but also one that has many in the county weighing tradition against the health of themselves and their families. By now we all know the guidelines, stay 6 feet apart, wear a mask, do lots of handwashing and stay home if you aren’t feeling great. But all of that seems really hard when we’re around the people we love on the days we look forward to all year long. Unfortunately, coronavirus is not going to disappear by the holidays. It won’t take the day off for Christmas, and it’s not going to be revealed to be a political hoax on Nov. 4. So what do we do? The first thing we do is respect each other’s decision making. As we go into the planning phases of the holidays, there will be countless families who choose to get together — some who are undecided and some who will not be comfortable with coming together physically this holiday season even with guidelines being followed. And as long as guidelines are being followed, those are all perfectly OK. According to John Hopkins University, as of Oct. 27, more than 1 million people have died globally because of the virus and nearly 44 million have been confirmed positive. It’s important to remember that right now everyone is trying to make the best decision possible for themselves, their families and their futures. The most important thing this holiday season is remembering that even when we disagree with our loved ones, we can do so respectfully. No one is trying to be a killjoy, they’re just trying to make sure that they and the people they care about make it through this holiday season. So don’t take it personally if an aunt or uncle says they won’t be coming. That’s their decision to make. Another important thing we all need to be thinking about this holiday season is “Plan B.” Coming into flu season and cold weather, people are going to be getting sick with colds, flu and all those other winter-sniffle-causing viruses. COVID-19 has already proven to be unpredictable, so having a plan for an alternate way to come together safely is important should guidelines or phases change. If gatherings are limited again, try and come up with a fun way to get together safely. Whether your family decides that’s through a Zoom call, a Christmas-light-viewing caravan or planning an all-holiday extravaganza for next July 4 when all of this is hopefully over will be up to you. But please, for the sake of others, follow the guidelines this holiday season. Remember, if someone tests positive after you were in close proximity, you will have to quarantine for up to two weeks. If that’s something you can’t or are unwilling to do, you shouldn’t be putting yourself in that position. It’s not fair to all of those who may come into contact with you down the road. Let’s all have a happy and safe holiday season so that we all can, hopefully, be together for the next one.

Last week's poll question

good of a season will this year be Q: How for waterfowl hunting? 14% 43% 29% 14%

I think the harvest will be especially high. It will likely be on par with last year. I would assume waterfowl will be harder to come by. It doesn’t matter. I will be successful either way.

Piasata made a lasting impression on Jersey boys L

ong after Piasata’s parents left the banks of the Piasa, Jim, Sam and Joe continued to speak Algonquin, frequently speaking and writing messages to each other in the language they had learned from Piasata and her father. Their friend had made a lasting impression, and the young men dreamed of going West in search of another Indian maiden as lovely as their Piasata. When they reached the age of 18, Jim, Sam and Joe left their families in Delhi, and all three eventually headed West, where their command of Algonquin served them well. Joe traveled throughout the Northwest, where he served as a hunter, trader, scout and trapper. He eventually purchased 10 acres near a small city in northern Illinois. That toddling town later experienced a growth boom. Joe sold his land at an impressive profit and lived out his life as a wealthy man. That city was Chicago. Sam drifted throughout the West and Southwest. He, like Joe, worked as a scout, hunter and trader. He was, in Jim’s words, sometimes rich and sometimes poor. Sam married and settled in California in 1850. He died at age 79 and left a fine estate for his family. As for Jim, he too went west and held a number of jobs, including serving as a scout for the U.S. Cavalry before settling in the State

of Mississippi. Nearly 40 years after he left Delhi to strike out on his own, Jim visited his boyhood home to briefly relive the blissful summer spent with Sam, Joe and Piasata on the banks of the Piasa Creek. He rode over the old battleground that he, Sam and Joe had walked with Piasata’s father. When he tried to find the location of the wigwam from long ago, he was forced to hire a local man to guide him. The area had changed dramatically over the course of four decades, and bushes and briars choked the banks of the creek. Jim could scarcely push his way through them. Once he found where the wigwam had once stood, Jim slowly climbed the hill where he and his friends had laid their dear friend to rest all those years ago. Jim – a seasoned scout, trapper and hunter who had spent years in the West fighting both for and against Indians and now nearing his 60s – picked a large bunch of wild Sweet Williams and lovingly placed them on the grave of the girl he had loved so dearly in the summer of 1828. A few years later, Jim found himself among a group of Indians in the Dakotas. One, an old woman, kept staring at him. Jim, convinced she was singling him out, tentatively approached her and gently asked what she wanted. After closely searching his

Guest Column BY BETH MCGLASSON face, she took his hand in hers and exclaimed, “Jim, Piasata.” It was Piasata’s mother. She told Jim how Piasata’s father had, as he had predicted at Piasata’s grave, followed his daughter to the happy hunting grounds many, many years ago. The stony faced man who did not shed a tear at his daughter’s death had grieved his life away after her death. Before leaving the next day, Jim gave Piasata’s mother a fine blanket and some money in remembrance of his boyhood friend. It was the final chapter of Jim’s fascinating story of Piasata. I’d love to provide more information about Jim Wilson and his friends Sam and Joe, but I’ve been unable to find any. There are no Wilsons in Greene County federal census nor in the 1840 Jersey County federal census. I hope you’ve enjoyed the story of Piasata as much as I’ve enjoyed sharing it. My paternal family settled near Delhi in the late 1850s, and I am awed by the fact that they lived in the area when Jim returned to visit Piasata’s grave.

Sixteen-year-olds may soon get right to vote O

ne of the things on the ballot within the City of San Francisco this November will be a proposal to allow voters who are 16 or 17 years old the right to vote in municipal elections. You might think this is just a “west coast thing,” but it isn’t. Several municipalities in other parts of the country already allow 16 and 17-year-olds to vote in local elections. But more importantly, are you aware that legislation has been proposed in the past at the federal level that would allow 16 and 17-year-olds to vote in national elections? In 2019, Representative Ayanna Pressley sponsored legislation that would have allowed this; there were 126 Congressmen who voted in favor of this legislation, including one Republican. It is likely we will see another attempt to lower the voting age at the national level after the first of the year. The reasoning in support of allowing 16 and 17-year-olds to vote is that young people are directly impacted by issues that are important to everyone, including young people, such as gun control legislation, climate change and various education issues, and they should therefore have a right to vote on those issues. Another commonly heard argument in favor of allowing them to vote is that this will “help youngsters to get into the

habit of voting.” I do know some 16-yearolds who are very thoughtful and concerned about things other than themselves — but not many. Most are still looking at issues from a very selfcentered perspective. Not that there is anything wrong with the fact that these youngsters do not yet have an adult outlook about issues that impact all of us. I didn’t either at that age. My granddaughter, Kennedy Hoagland, is 18 years old and has proven herself to be a responsible adult in many ways. So, I asked her what she thought about 16-year-olds being able to vote in national elections. Her response was in essence that 16-year-olds are still just finding out what life is all about. As she put it, “most 16-yearolds can’t even decide what name to use on TikTok.” So how about this: If you really think that 16-yearolds should be allowed to vote in our national elections, why not give them some other adult responsibilities and privileges and let’s see how that works out? Maybe they should all have to pay a portion of the real estate taxes assessed on their family home so that they can better appreciate why real estate taxes are sometimes so outrageous. Maybe we should lower the draft age to 16 and make them experience first hand what it means to have your own plans interrupted

so that you can serve the needs of your country just like we did before and during the Vietnam War. Maybe they should pay income taxes and not be allowed refunds at the end of the year so that they learn why you can’t just tax people because you want to. Better yet, maybe 16 and 17-year-olds should be allowed to drink alcohol whenever and wherever they want so that they can “get into the habit of learning how to drink responsibly.” I think we can agree this last suggestion is a really bad idea. And that’s because maturity is a critical ingredient for most of our adult rights and privileges including not only the right to drink alcohol but also the right to vote. The dilution of our voting power is already in the works. Why complicate it further? ––––––––––––––––––– Q Bill Hoagland has practiced law in Alton for more than 50 years, but he has spent more than 70 years hunting, fishing and generally being in the great outdoors.

Elizabeth G. Speich

Elizabeth G. Speich, 82 of Jerseyville, IL passed away at 6:15 pm on October 19, 2020 at DePaul Hospital St. Louis, MO. She was born on January 4, 1938 to Ivor and Vivian Gunnison in Baraboo, Wisconsin. Beth was a member of St. Paul’s Episcopal Church in Alton, active in Bible Study, Episcopal Church Women, and Guild of Grace. Beth judged AKC Dog Shows for over 30 years, which started with her own kennel raising and showing Cocker Spaniels. This passion took her to all the United States numerous times. She was invited to Denmark, Sweden, and Finland to judge. A Life Member of American Spaniel Club she was chairman of the Judge’s Education and Standard Committee for many years. She retired from judging in 2017 following her husband’s death. When her husband (Dick) and Junior Watson formed the Panther Athletic Club she became very involved as well. Both Dick and Beth, on their return to Jerseyville, were very proud that the PAC was still active knowing all the hard work had continued to support students in the Jersey Community School District. Beth formed a Status Offenders Program, it’s function was to help any Jersey County runaway. This involved working with DCFS, Jersey County Court System, Juvenile Officer, and the Jersey Community School District. She was asked by the League of Women’s Voters to help collect information on Jersey and Greene County Juvenile Courts. The Court Watching was approved by the judges in both counties as the reports did not contain any juvenile’s name. This was a statewide program and the results were published by the League of Women’s Voters. Unfortunately, there was no funding to support the program, after two years it was ended. The move back to Jerseyville to be near family members and their families added wonderful times spent together and many memories. The move renewed deep

By CONNOR ASHLOCK Jersey County Journal If you’ve ever driven down Highway 67 by McDonald’s, then you might have noticed the large pink donut with the smiling face that garners the attention of families as they drive past. That sweet, well-loved character is Sprinkles, the official mascot of BigBoy’s Donuts of Jerseyville. He’s quickly become quite the local celebrity, with adults and children alike turning their faces his way every time they drive past, until the evening of Oct. 16, when he came up missing. “Sprinkles has never gone missing before,” Becki Matthews, owner of BigBoy’s Donuts, said. Matthews shared that she and her husband keep Sprinkles out by the roadside so kids can enjoy him and that adults will know where their business is located. “The kids love going by just to see Sprinkles, and a lot of adults have expressed the same sentiment,”

Sprinkles was a highlight along Highway 67 by McDonald’s.

Matthews said. Sprinkles has been a part of the business’ backbone since he joined the team a little over a year ago. “We ordered him before the 2019 Jersey County Fair Parade, and he came in on the day of the parade,” Matthews said. “We weren’t expecting him to come in time, but he did, and we took him along with us. We ended up winning an award that year.” Sprinkles makes appearances at parties at the local business and has

Anita Dora Assar Anita Dora Assar, 82, passed away peacefully at 9:33 p.m., Friday, October 23, 2020 at Jersey Community Hospital. She was born in Gustavsburg, Germany on October 24, 1937 and was the daughter of Karl and Greta (Gross) Sanctjohanser. Anita left Germany after completing her training to become a nurse. She came to the United States in 1959 to visit a friend and decided to stay. She soon after married the love of her life, Dr. Abbas Assar, M.D. on September 10, 1960 in Jamaica, New York. Their marriage was blessed with two children and many fond memories throughout their 58 years together. The family relocated to the area in February of 1969, making their home and medical practice in White Hall. They later opened an office in Jerseyville, relocating their family there in 1978. She worked at the Jerseyville office for many years. Anita was a devoted wife and mother. Her kind-hearted and generous nature also showed in her love of animals. She took in numerous stray cats throughout the years, while some of the most well-fed birds and squirrels resided in the family’s backyard. She enjoyed traveling and made regular trips back to Germany to visit family. High points in her travels included cruises to the Baltic Sea, Norway, and Alaska, as well as a trip to France to finally see her father’s grave for the first time, 67 years after his passing.

been found to return the gift-giving spirit to Santa Claus when he visits Jerseyville. After he came up missing, some suggested that perhaps the heavy winds over the weekend were to blame, but Matthews doesn’t think so. “It was windy that night, but that donut is rather hard to get off the post as it is. I don’t think it would’ve blown far away without someone noticing it, and even if it did blow away, it more than likely would’ve remained close to the area or land in a nearby field. Ruling out the wind, Matthews believes that the disappearance of Sprinkles was nothing more than a prank. “I’m sure some kids took it home to be silly,” Matthews said. “I don’t want to be upset about it, but a lot of kids are upset about it, and I’d like for whoever took it to bring it back.” Matthews shared that there is a ‘noquestions asked’ policy concerning the return of Sprinkles. So long as he is brought back without damage is all she asks for.

Grafton Christmas festivities tweaked because of COVID-19 By JARAD JARMON Jersey County Journal As is the case for event organizers across the country, those in Grafton have been mulling over what they can do as far as Christmas festivities with COVID-19 guidelines in mind. “On Dec. 5 usually, we have Santa’s Chocolate Express, and with COVID, there are a lot of things including homemade chocolate and putting a whole bunch of people on buses that just can’t happen,” Grafton Alderwoman Mary Lillesve said. “So, Janey is putting together a group and saying, ‘OK, what can we do instead?’”

What they plan on doing this year is three separate events of sorts. The Christmas tree in Grafton will be turned on the Friday after Thanksgiving, along with Christmas lights on the Visitor Center, City Hall, Lighthouse and Grove Memorial Park. Santa’s Chocolate Express will become Grafton’s Winter Wonderland in order to follow COVID-19 rules. A variety of activities are being planned for Saturday, Dec. 5 — Santa and Mrs. Claus will even be in town. In place of the indoor Christmas dinner on Dec. 8, there will be an outdoor event in the Grove Memorial Park.

Ezike said at a COVID-19 briefing in Chicago. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People have worked really hard to get us through the first phaseâ&#x20AC;Ś and as we see the numbers go up in the hospital, people are bringing more beds, trying to prepare for the COVID units again, and the staff that went through all that pain to try to save as many people as they can are seeing history repeat itself.â&#x20AC;? The virus has now claimed 9,418 lives in Illinois, with another 31 deaths reported over the previous 24 hours, including a person in their 30s, one in their 40s, two in their 60s, 11 in their 70s and the rest 80 or older. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve never run a marathon, but I have the utmost regard for those whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been able to train and plan and finish a marathon. But this is a difficult race when you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t actually see the endpoint, and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sorry that thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the message I have for you,â&#x20AC;? Ezike said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Nevertheless, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m asking you to fight the fatigue,â&#x20AC;? she added. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Fight the urge to give up on social distancing. Fight for your kids to have safe, healthy opportunity to have inperson learning in school with teachers who were trained to teach them in the classroom. Fight to have safe, healthy environments in which we can work so that businesses can remain open so that our economies can start to thrive again. This does mean wearing your mask.â&#x20AC;? IDPH reported another 3,874 new confirmed cases of COVID-19 Friday among 82,256 test results reported over the previous 24 hours. That brought the total number of cases since the pandemic began to 364,033 among more than 7.1 million test results reported. Ezike and Gov. JB Pritzker reiterated that face coverings are the most effective means for limiting the spread of the virus, along with keeping six feet of distance from others and not gathering in large crowds. She said she is searching for a message to convey the importance of masking to all, even when meeting in private gatherings. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And so if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re talking about COVID fatigue from having to keep wearing a mask â&#x20AC;&#x201C; think about the COVID fatigue for health care workers, respiratory therapists who are going to have to go through this whole episode again, of trying to fight for peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lives, because we couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t figure out how to control this virus by doing some of the simple measures that have been prescribed,â&#x20AC;? she said. She said the decisions of those who attend unmasked gatherings promote the spread of the virus which can then find its way to more vulnerable populations. She urged those attending unmasked gatherings to â&#x20AC;&#x153;think beyond themselvesâ&#x20AC;? and consider who they may unknowingly infect, especially if they have the virus but are not showing symptoms. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All these people who work with the public on a regular basis â&#x20AC;&#x201C; you cannot work from home as a bus driver,â&#x20AC;? Ezike said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And so these people have to go to work every day as the disease is increasing throughout the state. And theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re the ones that will be dying.â&#x20AC;? Hospitalizations for COVID-19 as of Thursday night increased by 35 from the day prior to 2,498, while intensive care bed and ventilator usage by COVID-19 patients remained well above the average of the past several weeks at 511 and 197, respectively. Statewide, 34 percent

of ICU beds and 33 percent of hospital beds were available, but some regions had surge capacities below 25 percent. That came as four of the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 11 mitigation regions were officially subject to increased mitigation measures and exactly half of the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 102 counties hit a warning level for COVID-19 spread. Each of the 11 regions had a COVID-19 test positivity rate of 7 percent or higher, with Region 4, including the Metro East area on the Missouri border near St. Louis, hitting an 8.1 percent positivity rate. Two more days above 8 percent and the region would be subject to increased mitigations for the second time. While Pritzker said he was not considering a statewide stay-at-home order like he levied earlier in the pandemic, he noted the state will enforce mitigation measures in the various regions subject to them. Pritzker said he will follow emergency rules approved by a legislative rulemaking committee which allow for warnings, citations and dispersal orders for businesses not following mitigation rules. Authorities can perform checkups at locations and those not following rules â&#x20AC;&#x153;will be subject, potentially, to having proceedings initiated against them to remove their gaming or their liquor licenses,â&#x20AC;? he said. Pritzker has noted the Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity will give preference to businesses in regions that have had increased mitigations when it distributes Business Interruption Grants funded by the federal government. He also once again urged federal action on a measure to provide funding for state governments and more grant opportunities to small busi-

nesses that have faced business interruptions. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll continue that fight. For whatever reason, that isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t happening, the federal officials, federal congressmen, senators, the president canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seem to get together to get that done,â&#x20AC;? Pritzker said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So, what I can say is that, unfortunately we still have to live by the rules here because we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want people to get sick and die. â&#x20AC;ŚThe truth is that if everybody will wear their masks, we can get our businesses back open again much quicker.â&#x20AC;? The statewide positivity rate decreased slightly to 5.6 percent Friday, as it is driven down by University of Illinois saliva tests that are not included in any of the regional data. The university contributed 8,581 of the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tests but only 23 cases over the previous 24 hours, a one-day positivity rate of 0.27 percent.

As Halloween approaches, Trupanion, a leader in medical insurance for cats and dogs, scanned its database of more than 530,000 pets and found that historically there is a noticeable increase in chocolate toxicity claims beginning now, through the end of the year. Given that spooky fact, Trupanion recommends that pet owners keep any candy or treats they may have around for Halloween in a safe place that is not accessible by their pet. In severe cases, Trupanion has paid claims for toxicity treatment in the $7,000 to $8,000 range. However, the average costs of common Halloween toxicity claims pet owners could experience

range anywhere from $250 to $725. Costly dangers that all pet owners should avoid include chocolate, raisins and Xylitol. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Chocolate contains a naturally occurring stimulant called theobromine, which is similar to caffeine,â&#x20AC;? Dr. Sarah Nold, staff veterinarian at Trupanion, said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If enough theobromine is ingested it can be toxic to dogs and cats.â&#x20AC;? Signs of chocolate toxicity can include vomiting, diarrhea, elevated heart rate and seizures. Darker chocolate is more dangerous, because it contains higher concentrations of theobromine. Also, chocolate is more dangerous for a smaller dog because they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to ingest as

much as a larger dog to cause toxicity. Pet owners should also keep treats containing the sugar substitute xylitol away from their pets.

There are a whole bunch of spooky plants for season

It’s Halloween time again! While trick-or-treating and Halloween parties may look a little different this year, here are some more ‘spooky and scary’ plants to help you get in the Halloween spirit. Dragon arum (Dracunculus vulgaris) is a scary sounding plant that is native to southeastern Europe. Looking at the leaves of these plants, you can see why it got its name. Each leaf has 9-15 finger-like lobes that are said to resemble the claws of a dragon. Others say the name is in reference to fang-like spadix (flower) the plants will produce. These flowers can be 20 inches tall and 8 inches wide and smell

horrible, similar to rotten meat. If you want to try your hand at growing these plants, they grow best in well-drained soils in full sun. They may not be reliably hardy in many parts of Illinois, so find a warm microclimate or dig the bulbs in the fall and overwinter them indoors. With a name like Devil’s walking stick (Aralia spinosa), you know there’s something scary about these plants. They get their name because their stems, branches and leaf stalks are covered in stout, sharp spines. They also have the largest leaves in North America! Devil’s walking stick does best in well-drained soils in full sun

to part shade. They typically grow as a suckering shrub that will reach 10-25 feet tall but may occasionally grow as a tree, reaching 35 feet tall. They produce large panicles (up to 2 feet long) of flowers in the summer that are very attractive to bees. Additionally, the resulting black fruit is very attractive to birds. Deadly nightshade (Atropa belladonna) is an incredibly poisonous plant, with all parts of the plant being toxic. Symptoms of poisoning include rapid heartbeat, dilated pupils, delirium, vomiting, hallucinations and death due to respiratory failure. The berries of these plants are purplish-black and sweet, mak-

ing them a tempting food source. However, as few as two berries can kill a child; ten berries are often enough to kill an adult. Handling plants can also cause problems, as the toxins can be absorbed through the skin and cause severe dermatitis. There is a long history of using these plants to dispatch one’s foes. It was also believed to be used by witches to help them fly. Unlike these other plants, the only scary thing about Common Witchhazel (Hamamelis virginiana) is its name. In fact, its name has nothing to do with witches. The witch in witchhazel comes from the Anglo-Saxon word wyche, which means pliant or

bendable. This is likely because their branches were commonly used as dowsing rods by Native Americans and European settlers. Common Witchhazel is native to eastern North America, including Illinois. It grows as a shrub or small tree that typically grows 15-20 feet tall. Their arching branches will produce bright yellow, fragrant flowers with straplike petals starting in late October. These trees are easily grown in a wide range of soils in full sun to part shade. Good Growing tip of the week: Want to learn more about these spooky and scary plants?

Number of regions slated for added COVID-19 mitigations jumps to 4

By JERRY NOWICKI Capitol News Illinois Two more of the 11 regions of the state’s COVID-19 mitigation plan have reached a threshold necessitating increased restrictions, joining two other regions which remain above the key metric. Will and Kankakee counties in Region 7 and DuPage and Kane counties in Region 8 will be closed for indoor service at bars and restaurants and will see capacity limits of 25 people or 25 percent of maximum occupancy among other restrictions. The mitigations will take effect Friday. “Numbers throughout most of the regions are trending in the wrong direction,” Illinois Department of Public Health Director Dr. Ngozi Ezike said at a news conference Tuesday in Chicago. “If your region does have the implemented mitigation measures, please, let’s get on board and help our community to get back on track. It’s been done before – we did it together as a state to get to Phase 4 (of the state’s reopening plan). Let’s do what we can to progress further.” She encouraged Illinoisans to get a flu shot to avoid further stresses on hospital systems, wear a face covering, keep a six-foot distance from others, wash hands regularly and keep to smaller groups. The governor and health officials announced the mitigations as COVID-19 positivity rates remained on an upward arc in every region, including Region 1 of the reopening plan. That region, from Winnebago County to the state’s western border in northern Illinois, hit an 11.8 percent positivity rate – a new high – after its second week of increased mitigations.

Region 7 previously had mitigations in place from Aug. 27 to Sept. 18 after rising above 8 percent on Aug. 19 then falling to 5.2 percent on Sept. 28. After that, the rates began increasing in the region and statewide. Asked why bars and restaurants continue to be hardest hit by economic restrictions, Ezike said they remain a key venue of spread, according to contact tracing efforts. “When you look at the top three places that come up over and over, region to region statewide, it comes up as people’s workplace, it comes up as school, it comes up as restaurants and bars,” she said. “So we’re not going to not have people go to school – we’re letting the local health departments and the school administrators decide for themselves what’s appropriate regarding school. And then in terms of workplace, there are people that… cannot work for home.... So the next thing that we can actually act on is the bars and restaurants.” Gov. JB Pritzker said guidance previously provided to schools by the Illinois State Board of Education should continue to be followed. That requires masking and six feet of distance. Existing guidance for high school and recreational sports also remains in effect, while Pritzker said “we are going to be very careful about whatever guidance gets issued for school sports for the winter.” The governor also said he is not considering a statewide stay-at-home order. The regions that will be subject to greater mitigations by the end of the week include 33 counties and more than a quarter of the state’s population. Other miti-

Teen driver crash fatalities down considerably During National Teen Driver Safety Week, White encourages parents to talk to teens about safe driving behaviors Illinois Secretary of State Jesse White announced that teen driver deaths are down 74 percent since 2007. According to the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT), since White’s efforts to overhaul the state’s graduated driver licensing (GDL) laws took effect in 2008, teen driving fatalities have dropped 74 percent. Many cite White’s nationally heralded GDL program for the dramatic decrease in fatalities. “The goal has always been to save lives,” White said. “While our graduated driver licensing (GDL) program is working as intended with teen driving deaths decreasing, there is still more work to be done. My hope is that with hard work and continued open communication between my office, teens, parents and driver education teachers, teen fatalities will continue to decline.” In 2019, 41 teens were killed in traffic crashes, according to IDOT. In 2018, 48 teens were killed in crashes, IDOT reported. In 2007, the year before White’s stronger GDL laws took effect, 155 teens were killed in crashes. White noted that this week is a time when parents and caregivers are encouraged to talk to teens about staying safe behind the wheel, as well as using seat belts, obeying

the speed limit and not texting while driving or driving impaired. Illinois’ GDL program prepares teen drivers by giving them more time to obtain valuable driving experience while under the watchful eye of an adult, limiting in-car distractions and requiring teens to earn their way from one stage to the next by avoiding traffic convictions.

White emphasized the important roles that parents, teachers and driver education instructors play in preparing safe and responsible teen drivers. State and national traffic safety organizations have praised Illinois’ stronger GDL program as one of the best in the nation.

gations include a ban on party buses and closure of casinos and gambling venues at 11 p.m., among others. Region 5 in southern Illinois, which will see increased mitigations starting Thursday, remained above the mitigation threshold at an 8.5 percent rolling positivity rate, decreasing from 9.1 percent the two days prior. Any region must remain below 6.5 percent for three days to have mitigations lifted. Three other regions – Region 3 at 7.5 percent in west-central Illinois, Region 6 at 7.6 percent in east-central Illinois and Region 9 in northern suburban Lake and McHenry counties at 7.5 percent – are all within a half point of the mitigation threshold after increasing, according to Tuesday’s data. Region 4 in the Metro East area on the Missouri border increased to 7.4 percent, Region 10 in suburban Cook County increased to 7.1 percent and Region 11, which consists of only Chicago, had the lowest positivity rate at 6.7 percent. Region 2, which includes Peoria and several surrounding counties, remained level from the day before at 6.9 percent, while Region 6 in east-central Illinois has been flat at 7.6 percent for four days. On Tuesday, the state reported another 3,714 new confirmed cases of COVID19 among 59,077 test results reported.

Another 41 COVID-19 individuals died over the previous 24 hours, bringing the death toll to 9,277 since the pandemic began. The statewide COVID-19 test positivity rate crept upward for the 16th straight day Tuesday, hitting 5.6 percent as the metric once again pushes levels not seen since June. Hospitalizations also continue to increase, with ventilator usage jumping by 9 percent overnight as 195 ventilators were in use by COVID-19 patients as of Monday evening. While that left 77 percent of ventilators unused across the state, it’s the highest COVID-19 usage of the machines recorded in a single day since June 26. Hospital bed usage by COVID-19 patients jumped 8 percent overnight to 2,261, and the number of intensive care beds in use by COVID-19 patients jumped by four to 489. That left 37 percent of beds and 39 percent of ICU beds available statewide.

Jersey Jazz Ensemble braves weather to play for audience

By JARAD JARMON Jersey County Journal For the Jersey Community High School Jazz Band and Jazz Ensemble, opportunity after opportunity to perform has been dashed this year because of the infamous virus still plaguing the country and the guidelines associated with it. But, school leaders and band members alike were determined to find an avenue to show the community â&#x20AC;&#x201D; or at least the parents â&#x20AC;&#x201D; what those in band have been working on. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Those groups have been practicing under the safety guidelines, but all of our usual performances like Harvest Fest and the Calhoun County Fair â&#x20AC;&#x201D; we werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t able to do those this year, but we were trying to find a way to creatively have a performance for them,â&#x20AC;? Erin Bittles, band director at JCHS, said. And on Sunday, that creative solution was found. The social distanced jazz groups played to a social distanced crowd of parents,

family and other community members on the patio behind the high school. Bittles said the performance was in the works for weeks. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were looking for a safe, different way to do it â&#x20AC;&#x201D; especially to have a performance for their parents and to play for their parents and families in a safe way,â&#x20AC;? she said. For a month, they had a location set, and it seemed as soon as that was the case, the weather turned. It got colder and colder, but those in band were not discouraged by a little chilly weather. Bittles said the thought was â&#x20AC;&#x153;well, we can be a little chilly.â&#x20AC;? Marching band, made up of the members in the Jazz Ensemble, are used to performing in the elements. Last year, they performed in frigid weather with snow all around for the Jerseyville Veteranâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day ceremony. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These kids are definitely used to â&#x20AC;&#x201D; especially in the marching season â&#x20AC;&#x201D; playing in a lot of different types of weatherâ&#x20AC;Ś (Sundayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s perfor-

mance) wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t too bad for them. They are definitely used to playing in some of the elements that sometimes happen in the typical marching season.â&#x20AC;? The temperature that Sunday afternoon sat around 50 degrees, but the ensemble was excited to play all the same. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The kids and the parents were really grateful that we were able to come up with a safe way to perform, because they really needed,â&#x20AC;? Bittles said. And the months of work led to a solid performance from the band. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I really thought the kids did really well,â&#x20AC;? Bittles said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They were really excited to be able to play for an audience, even though it was a smaller group, and it was family and friends. They were really excited to get that feedback, to get the clapping â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the initial performance feedback that has been missed for so long. The kids did amazing especially for being outside and being as spaced as they have to be

to perform. They have really gone above and beyond this year. I have been really proud with how well they have adapted.â&#x20AC;? As far as future perfor-

mances, it is unknown at this time. Whether or not another chance to perform arises, though, either in-person or virtually, the band members have kept their heads up.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;They donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seem to let it get them down to much,â&#x20AC;? Bittles added. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As much as they could, they keep persevering and keep working.â&#x20AC;?

Jersey 100 sees uptick for in-person instruction

By CONNOR ASHLOCK Jersey County Journal The schools in Jersey County have been adjusting to the second half of the fall semester, and Jersey Unit 100 Superintendent Brad Tuttle reported that more students are participating in the in-person instruction option than in the previous half of the semester. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We only allow for students who opted for the remote learning to start inperson learning at the quarter and semester marks,â&#x20AC;? Tuttle said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At the beginning of the year, we had about 20 percent doing remote learning and increased to around 25 percent as the first quarter wore on.â&#x20AC;? Tuttle estimates that as few as 12 to 15 percent of District 100 students are now opting for remote learning. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It makes sense,â&#x20AC;? Tuttle said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tougher to do remote learning at a younger age and thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more adult supervision required.â&#x20AC;? Tuttle further shared that the trend appeared to show younger students moving from remote learning to inperson learning and those older students who opted for remote learning remaining with that option. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not a big difference, but Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d say, in general, the younger you were the more likely you came back to in-

person,â&#x20AC;? Tuttle said. Now, as the cold and flu season start to make their appearance, Tuttle said that his administration has some concerns about keeping the COVID-19 virus out of the schools as best as possible. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We obviously have concerns over the cold and flu season because many symptoms are the same, but we have procedures to get into the schools, and if students arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t feeling well, we hope parents are more diligent about making sure they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t come to school,â&#x20AC;? Tuttle said. Thus far, Jersey 100â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s efforts to keep the virus at bay have proven largely successful, so it is hoped that it will enjoy success as the winter months carry on. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We put a lot of time in on that plan from mid-May to mid-July just trying to come up with what made sense for us and our communityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s needs,â&#x20AC;? Tuttle explained. Jersey County is currently at warning level status for COVID-19. However, Tuttle said that it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t change anything in the districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s plan, but it does concern them. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re concerned that it could creep into our building,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The virus could affect us in a big way if we get too many staff quarantined to where we couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t function, but weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not even close to that point.â&#x20AC;?

At the very least, the district has a plan in place should COVID-19 pose an immediate threat to the local school system. Though there are many unknowns for the coming months, Tuttle and has staff continue discussions with the Jersey County Health Department to ensure they are proceeding as wisely as possible. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Right now, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re hoping to continue doing what weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing,â&#x20AC;? Tuttle said.

Jersey then and now: The Cheney mansion

The Cheney mansion is one of the most famous homes in the Jersey County area, commanding attention that not many structures in the county receive. Some of the attention the mansion draws is likely because it is a part of the Jersey County Historical Societyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s complex, which contains an original Jersey County one-room schoolhouse, small country church, three log cabins and one large museum and genealogical research center, in addition to the mansion. The mansion, though, dominates as the face of the whole society and often serves as a symbol of the community. The original portion of the home was completed in 1827 and consisted of the area now comprising the dining room, sitting room and the two bedrooms immediately above those rooms. In the earliest years of the homeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s existence, it was known as the Little Red House and served as a tavern, stagecoach stop, school, polling place, stop on the Underground Railroad and even as a site of municipal business. After Prentiss Dana Cheney I married Catherine Dâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Arcy, daughter of thenowner Dr. E.A. Dâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Arcy, the home fell into the young coupleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hands, and under P.D.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s direction, the home took on its present shape. The family even operated a bank out of the home, the vault of which still exists today in the north wing of the house and under the onion dome that gives the external side of the structure its gazebo-esque appearance from the highway. Being under the ownership of the historical society, the home retains much of its original appearance, as historic preservation is a priority of the society. Original doors, woodworking, floors, newell posts and three fireplaces,

among other features, still grace the home with its midto-late Victorian touch. Other interesting facets of the home include the â&#x20AC;&#x153;stairs to nowhere,â&#x20AC;? which are located in the kitchen near the cellar and were ascended by servants to watch for arriving company, as well as a special stairwell to be used by servants when the family was entertaining. The childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s room on the second floor was originally the servantsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; bedroom. Its location between the second floor proper and the ground floor was symbolic of the servants lower placing in the home. In the basement, the original warming shelf exists not too far from the Underground Railroad hideout. It was used to keep food and desserts warm, which was achieved by heat from the stovetop as it moved down through the bricks, warming them and ultimately warming the food. One last interesting facet of the home that is worth mentioning are the two alcoves on either side of the front doors. Hats, canes, coats and umbrellas were stored in these â&#x20AC;&#x153;cubby-holes,â&#x20AC;? and on the floor of each one of them, a small hole can still be seen.

October 27, 2010 Ed Settles, Jersey Community Unit School District No. 100 superintendent, explained his district has been using federal grants to rehire and retain teachers, thus refuting charges by an Illinois Education Association (IEA) director who questioned the use of funding. Since the approval in early August of the $10 billion in federal grants to fund education, of which Jersey was eligible to receive approximately $680,000, the district has rehired seven teachersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; aides and four teachers, plus hired a new Title I reading teacher. A Kane man who stands accused of killing his father last year has been permitted to move for a discharge hearing. Jersey County Circuit Judge Eric Pisto-

rius signed the order Tuesday, Oct. 27 stating that Mark L. Prough, 45, is unfit to stand trial, and that a substantial probability exists that he may not be fit for trial within one year. The order goes on to state that Prough is permitted to move for a discharge hearing. Ford Motor Company and Jerseyville Motor Company partnered to help raise money in support of Jersey Community High School as part of Fordâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Drive One 4 UR School program. Members of the local Jerseyville community helped raise $6,000 for their high school by test driving a Ford or Mercury vehicle. Jerseyville Motor Company worked with JCHS to host the one-day event on Sunday, Sept. 11 and presented the $6,000 check to the school on Friday, Oct. 15.

October 28, 2015 Jerseyville residents could be paying more for water and sewer rates as soon as next year. Jerseyville Commissioner Steve Pohlman said the increase would be â&#x20AC;&#x153;pennies,â&#x20AC;? and it would not increase the minimum water payment, meaning residents paying the minimum would not see any rate change. Tickets are nearly sold out for the second year of the Fine Arts Auction aimed to bring revenue to fine arts at Jersey Community High School. Much like the family members and parents who contribute to the Panther Athletic Club, a passionate group of parents saw a need to help their childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s choir, band and theater programs. The Historic Riverboat Preservation Association held a quarter auction Friday, Oct. 23 to help preserve the history of The Goldenrod Showboat. The 106-year-old boat was damaged and is being scrapped after the sum-merâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s major flood sunk the barge and buckled the boat.

JERSEY COUNTY JOURNAL

Jerseyville, Illinois

Grafton Parks to see improvements By CONNOR ASHLOCK Jersey County Journal There might be some long-awaited additions in the near future to the Grafton parks. Several years ago, the City of Grafton purchased some used playground equipment from Sandusky, Ohio. Originally valued at $200,000, Grafton was able to purchase the equipment for around $4,000-5,000. The first challenge that the city had then, though, was getting it from Ohio to Grafton. With the help of four Grafton employees who made the trip to Ohio to disassemble it, the equipment was able to make its way to Grafton, only to be met by further challenges. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had some challenges every year,â&#x20AC;? Grafton Mayor Rick Eberlin said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There was flooding in 2017. then in 2018, we saw the development

of the Grafton SkyTour. With all the construction coming in for that, we decided not to move the equipment to Grove Park because it would just have to get moved around again. Then, there was the Great Flood last year, and this year, COVID-19.â&#x20AC;? The equipment was moved up to Red Hawk Park in Grafton Hills, but soon some of it will be found at Mason Hollow Park and another portion at Grove Park as well, if all goes according to plan. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When I ran for mayor, I looked to see how many kids went to school at Grafton Elementary that lived within the city limits, and it was shocking to see how many kids we actually had â&#x20AC;&#x201D; around 18 or 19 kids at the time,â&#x20AC;? Eberlin said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So, having all this equipment didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seem too urgent compared to some other things on our plate. But now, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to get done.â&#x20AC;?

With the city still working through issues regarding last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s flooding and this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s global pandemic, Eberlin hopes the equipment will be moved and repainted by spring of next year. After the equipment is moved, Eberlin hopes that the parks will become more attractive for families as they venture around the river town, especially to those families that might consider building a home of their own in Grafton Hills. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to grow a new Grafton,â&#x20AC;? Eberlin said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The median age in Grafton is around 54 years old. I think weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re seven years older on average than any other community in the riverbend. The next one is 46 years old. My hope is to grow a younger generation that will set their roots here. I hope we can increase our population, but I want people moving here to raise families here.â&#x20AC;?

Jersey State Bank donates to local groups Jersey State Bank, in partnership with Federal Home Loan Bank of Chicago, has donated to three local organizations helping those impacted by the COVID-19 crisis. The bank chose to select recipients who could use the funds towards food pantries and utility assistance for residents in rural communities. The recipients of $5,000 each were Illinois Valley Economic Development, the Salvation Army and Jersey Township. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This donation is important to us, and we are grateful we are able to help our community during these uncertain times,â&#x20AC;? Kathy Landess, vice president and human hesources officer, said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We hope this donation has a positive impact on those struggling, which will help our community as a whole.â&#x20AC;? Jersey State Bank is the only locally owned bank in Jersey County and has two offices to serve its customers in Jerseyville and Grafton.

JERSEY COUNTY JOURNAL

Jersey Stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Attorney charged with DUI By JARAD JARMON Jersey County Journal Jersey County Stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Attorney Benjamin L. Goetten has been charged with driving under the influence of alcohol, according to court records. The citation and complaint against Goetten states he unlawfully drove a vehicle at 10:09 p.m. Oct. 22 on Hollow Avenue at Lincoln Avenue under the influence. Goetten was also cited for a couple of traffic violations.

Goettenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s counsel Josh Evans, based out of East Alton, filed an entry of appearance, plea of not guilty, jury demand and demand for speedy trial on Goettenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s behalf, according to court records. Goettenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first appearance was set for 9 a.m. Nov. 18 in Courtroom A of the Jersey County courthouse. The DUI charge is a Class A Misdemeanor. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Like anyone charged with an offense I have a right to counsel and have exercised that right,â&#x20AC;? Goetten said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I will not be nor would I expect to be treated any differently than anyone

Meet the monsters of Jersey County By MEAGAN MCGLASSON Jersey County Journal While the ghosts of the area and their local haunts are practically celebrities at this point, the mysterious monsters, creepy creatures and unexplained others are harder to hunt down. Jersey County has featured a number of eyewitness accounts, local legends and scary stories that pop up again and again in bars, bonfires and darkened rooms this time of year. While locals tell the stories with loud laughs in the daytime hours, at night, when the moon casts long shadows across the fields and the woods seem to stretch on endlessly, that bravado shifts to a whisper as we start to wonder if maybe, just maybe, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s truth to the tales. Perhaps the areaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most famous monster is the Piasa Bird â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the local legend that looms large above the River Road just north of Alton. While the Piasa Bird shares its name with the creek that runs through Jersey County, the birdâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s history is a compilation of traditions and depictions from a number of sources. Those stories started with an account of a painting on a bluff recorded by Father Jacques Marquette in the late 1600s. The monster on the bluff was calf-sized, with a face like a manâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and horns like a goat. It was vividly painted, and the Native Americans, Marquette said, dared not look at it. Conspicuously absent from this early Piasa Bird depiction are the wings and the name. Those would not be added until much later â&#x20AC;&#x201D; nearly 200 years later â&#x20AC;&#x201D; by a Baptist minister, upper-Alton professor and editor of a local paper, John Russell. Russellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Piasa Bird would shift in its depiction, from a monstrous flying man-eating monster to just a very large aggressive bird. In all iterations, it was famous for menacing the local Native Americans until they valiantly banished it from the land. Russell would later admit his tales were embellished, but his contemporaries speculate they drew largely on another myth, the thunderbird, taken from the Cahokia. The thunderbird was a kind of Manitou, a spiritual power that manifested in many ways, including as the fearsome thunderbird whose enormous wings flapped as loudly as booming thunder across the plains. The thunderbird stories stretch across the continent with variations as unique and nuanced as the tribes of Native Americans who tell them. But not all of Jersey

Countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s monsters are banished to the history books. Some still creep across the fields just waiting to leap out at unsuspecting locals. At least, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the 2008 allegation that brought the Bigfoot Field Researchers Organization (BFRO) to Otterville. In this story, a witness was driving the Otterville Blacktop, just before Shiloh Hollow Road when he saw a massive something running on two legs toward the road. What initially looked like â&#x20AC;&#x153;a man in a trenchcoatâ&#x20AC;? narrowly avoided being struck by the driverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vehicle, and, upon closer inspection, turned out to be a massive, hairy, not-quitehuman monster. This particular monster â&#x20AC;&#x201D; bigfoot, sasquatch or whatever you want to call it â&#x20AC;&#x201D; is no stranger to the area. In fact, another documented sighting was reported near Otterville much earlier, in the late 1990s. That witness reported that she and her friend also saw a similar inexplicable creature late at night on a drive from Calhoun County. When they told their friends, however, they were laughed at. In spite of its supernatural nature, documented sightings of this humanoid beast are not so rare, and have occurred in Jersey, Calhoun, Greene, Macoupin and Madison counties according to the BFRO. In fact, some would say that the creature has been here much longer than modern civilization has. When you really stop to think about it, is it so hard to believe that some small population of these creatures has been hidden away in the hills and hollers of the river counties, clinging to their seclusion in the areaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s deep dark places? Maybe these monsters arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t as rare as we would like to think. The final monster weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to introduce you to may not be a monster at all. In fact, whether it is a friend or a foe is the subject of both debate and attention and has served as the plot to more than a few Hollywood blockbusters. Whether theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re depicted as little gray men, great gelatinous blobs or something else entirely, visitors from another world have captured the imaginations of humanity throughout our history. And according to some accounts, their mysterious vessels have been spotted in the dusky skies above Jersey County. Many have had the experience of meeting someone at a local bar who is all too eager to share the story of their UFO sighting or their good buddy who was abducted late one night. And while those stories

may best be met with a nod and a â&#x20AC;&#x153;cigarette break,â&#x20AC;? some stories are not so easy to dismiss. In 2014, a photograph surfaced online of three mysterious objects forming a triangle in the sky above Jersey County. This photo made its way to YouTube and Reddit where internet sleuths speculated about its origins. The alleged photographer posted to the Youtube video, explaining the photo was nearly 20 years old, dating it to the early â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;90s, and remains unexplained to this day. Just two years after this photo began making the rounds, an anonymous caller called into the National UFO Reporting Center (NUFORC) reporting seeing a massive triangular shape in the sky, far too large to be anything military, that appeared to be â&#x20AC;&#x153;leaving Earth.â&#x20AC;? The Jerseyville report was one of a rash of sightings called in from the fall to winter of 2016, stretching from Elk Grove, Calif. to Columbus, Ohio. While the mysterious triangular object is the subject of much debate, according to those who saw it, something was patrolling the skies above Jersey County, and who knows? Maybe it still is today. We at the Jersey County Journal appreciate and support a healthy skepticism when it comes to the unbelievable and unexplained. Still, if there were a time of year when the lines between our world and another were blurred, this would be it. So be careful when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re driving late at night in the coming months, we wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want you to be the next local reporting bumping into one of those things that go bump in the night.

else under these circumstances. I assure the people of Jersey County that this will in no way impact my commitment, duty or ability to serve them effectively as stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s attorney. On advice of counsel, further statements on this matter will be released through his office.â&#x20AC;? Judge Joshua A. Meyer recused himself from this case, according to court records. The case has been sent to Chief Judge for assignment. Goetten is the unopposed democratic candidate in the race for Jersey County Stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Attorney.

‘Doing the most good’ will be difficult this year for Salvation Army By CONNOR ASHLOCK Jersey County Journal The local branch of the Salvation Army located in Jerseyville serves the needs of many people throughout the year, especially at Christmastime. Be it their hygiene bags, motor payments or food pantry, those soldiers of benevolence work tirelessly to ensure those down on their luck are supported as they try to get back on their feet. This year, though, Richard Lott, the chairman of the service extension unit of the Salvation Army in Jersey County, is unsure as to whether enough volunteers will be available and willing to carry on the much-needed work during the holidays. “One of the concerns we have is a directive from St. Louis concerning the protocol for bell ringing,” Lott said. “They want us to use social distancing and avoid touching any money.” Lott shared that he wants to put up plexiglass shells behind stands to insulate ringers from the public, in addition to encouraging vol-

unteers to wear masks and gloves and to be mindful of social distancing measures. Though it is a relief that the normal bell ringing locations in Jerseyville are still on board with participating this year, which includes Sinclair’s, Walmart and Farm and Home, actually assembling the army of volunteers to man the kettles will be an extremely difficult feat. “Our school groups that we normally expect to volunteer will not be able to participate this year, and we are not certain about our usual churches coming out this year either.” Lott said. “We do have some concerns about how this will impact us, but we have to forge ahead as normal and hope everything comes together.” This year will mark the 47th annual Tree of Lights campaign in Jersey County, so Lott and his fellow volunteers at the Salvation Army are hoping to keep the exemplary tradition of giving alive this year in the county, especially given the circumstances brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic.

“Since 1973, we’ve raised $1.2 million just at Christmastime,” Lott noted. Despite the current issues Lott is facing, he did note that this year seemed to bring about a more charitable spirit in the community. “We’ve had a couple of windfalls that we didn’t expect that will help us with our goal, so I’m trusting that with the help of God we’ll make our goal and possibly exceed it,” Lott expressed. “I’m optimistic that we’ll be able to do that because people are in a generous mood right now, and that includes money and food donations.” Still, the fact remains that Thanksgiving and Christmas are two very difficult times of the year for many people, so volunteers are needed to make sure the needs of fellow community members are met. “We are in great need — desperate need — to get bell ringers,” Lott said. This year, the bell ringing will begin on Nov. 13 and last through Dec. 22. Anyone interested in participating in this year’s campaign is encouraged to call 946-2702 or 498-3166.

Winter sports restrictions in Illinois announced By PETER HANCOCK Capitol News Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker and the Illinois Department of Public Health announced new guidelines for youth and adult winter sports on Tuesday that temporarily put a halt to competitive basketball, hockey and wrestling events. Although participants in those sports may continue with non-contact training and drills, they will not be allowed to participate in competitive games or matches. “As with sports in the fall, nothing is ‘cancelled,’ just put on hold until we’re through the thick of this pandemic,” Pritzker said in a news release. “We adapt as we learn. That has been our mantra throughout this pandemic, and as is true in every other facet of life, we know this virus is of most concern when people are indoors with high contact, especially in vigorous situations that bring about heavy breathing – like in wrestling, hockey and basketball.” The new restrictions were announced in response to a continuing surge in COVID19 cases throughout the state. They apply to school-sponsored competitions as well as travel clubs, private leagues and clubs, recreational leagues and centers, and park district sports programs. They do not apply to collegiate or professional sports. Like the fall sports guidelines that the state first issued in May, the winter sports guidelines divide events into low, medium and high-risk categories. They also provide for four different levels of activity, ranging from level 1, in which only no-contact practices and training are allowed, to level 4, in which tournaments are allowed, including out-of-conference and out-of-state play.

Basketball was originally classified as a medium-risk event in the fall guidelines, but the winter sports guidelines classify it as high risk due to close contact between players and the fact that it is played indoors. That means it is limited only to no-contact practices and training. Other high-risk sports include football, lacrosse, martial arts, rugby and ultimate Frisbee. Medium-risk sports — including fencing, flag football, paintball, soccer and volleyball —are allowed to take part in level 2 activities, such as intra-team scrimmages with parental consent for minors but no competitive play. Lower-risk sports include competitive cheer and dance, as long as masking and social distance rules are enforced, as well as bowling, gymnastics, swimming, archery, track and field and weight lifting. Under the guidelines, people in those sports can take part in level 3 activities, which include games or meets within a conference or an Emergency Medical Services region or intra-league events. Level 3 also allows for state and league championship events for low-risk sports. Under the current pandemic guidelines, no events are allowed to compete at level 4. A full list of winter sports and their risk categories is available on the Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity website. Capitol News Illinois is a nonprofit, nonpartisan news service covering state government and distributed to more than 400 newspapers statewide. It is funded primarily by the Illinois Press Foundation and the Robert R. McCormick Foundation.

Jersey Cross Country runners named all-conference The last two weeks have been busy for those on the Jersey Community High School cross country team. On Oct. 13, the cross country runners competed in the Mississippi Conference Meet at Mascoutah. Boys tied for fifth, and the girls did not have a team score. Cole Martinez and Griffin Williams were MVC AllConference by placing in the Top 15. Martinez placed eighth; Williams, 11th; Drake Goetten, 28th; Andrew Kribs, 33rd; Alex Hubbell, 37th; Zane Peterbaugh, 40th and Adam Kribs, 42nd. On the girls side, Abby Fraley was the top Jersey runner, placing 30th; Christine Wendell, 34th and Kate Hetzig, 37th.

fin Williams, 27th; Drake Goetten, 35th; Andrew Kribs, 51st; Alex Hubbell, 59th; Zane Peterbaugh, 67th and Adam Kribs, 71st. On the girls side, Abby Fraley placed 42nd; Christine Wendell, 48th; Kate Heitzig, 56th and Abby Womack, 60th.
