School board split on basketball program may not make it onto the team because there are not enough spots. “You’re bringing in a select group now. This wasn’t making it fair to everybody,” Pohlman said. Pohlman said the program was cut with the intention of improving the city’s recreation department basketball leagues so more kids could participate and enjoy the sport while also saving the district around $30,000. The program was cut before consolidation of the schools when the district had multiple teams from multiple schools. District Administrator Ken Schell said teams in the nonrec leagues are hand-picked similar to the ones for fifth and sixth grade basketball which

By BOB CROSSEN Jersey County Journal The Jersey Community Unit School District 100 board was at odds regarding the approval of volunteer coaches for fifth and sixth grade basketball teams, which were cut as a district program in 2010. The volunteer coaches for the program were ultimately approved in a 4-to-3 vote in which Ed Test, Amanda Vaughn, Sherry Droste and Stan Kary voted Yes, while Ruth Eschbach, Julie Pohlman and Bill Yamnitz voted No. Pohlman, school board vice president, said she voted against approval of volunteer coaches because she feels the program is unfair to all students as it requires tryouts, meaning some

By ROBERT LYONS Jersey County Journal Larry Bear’s legacy at Jersey Community Hospital could very well be one of a leader who kept the institution at the forefront of technology and ahead of the crowd in its offerings. But, in his 26 years at the helm of the hospital, it was friendships and sense of community Bear appreciated most of all. Bear plans to continue cherishing those same elements as he enters into the next phase of his life: retirement. Instead of being the chief executive officer of the county’s largest employer, however, Bear will just be enjoying the best the area has to offer. “This is where I’m staying. I fell in love with this place early on,” Bear said. “This is home.” Bear is responsible for some of the very components which have helped define the community's development in recent decades, according to JCH Director of Community Relations Jen Bell. “Larry was very instrumental in getting the Wellness Center going, and I think that has been a positive facility in the community, and surrounding communities,” Bell said. “I think he did a good job of positioning the hospital and finding the needs of the community.” The Wellness Center is one of Bear’s proudest accomplishments. He said the project was unique for a hospital to take on and has since been copied in other communities, including nearby Hillsboro. “It gives us an opportunity to set an example for our children, and grown-ups as

Yamnitz said it was built to groom the teens for future programs, reinforcing a culture in which those who know the coaches make the team and new players do not. “I don’t believe in picking kids out when they’re 8, 9, 10 years old. They’re going to be the starters in the high school in six or seven years because they got the opportunity and somebody didn’t see that,” Yamnitz said, noting one of his sons wasn’t part of the system despite having the skill to start for the high school team. “He (See, SPLIT, A2)

well, of how to stay out of hospitals. We’d rather be proactive,” he said. “The remarkable people who have run the Wellness Center for the past 14 years have done a super job giving all of us the opportunity to choose good lifestyles.” Bear is going out on a high note with the completion of a new emergency room facility and implementation of the ER+ last year, both of which have allowed the hospital to get patients in and out of the urgent care sector of the facility at much faster rate. Bear said a national average for

an ER visit is five hours, and JCH it is just two. “It’s all about hometown care. When you walk into that emergency room you know the people taking care of you, and they know you,” he said. “Our population continues to grow, and hopefully that facility will serve all of us for another several decades.” Though he led the hospital through its most major expansions, Bear credits the doctors, nurses, board members and the community as a whole for the progress. He said he has enjoyed tremendous support throughout his

career in Jerseyville. “There wasn’t a lot of magical creativity involved,” he said. “In some respects you just try not to get in the way of something that can grow by itself.” Hospital board president Mary Kirbach said Bear deserves more credit than he gives himself. Kirbach said Bear has always been focused on advancing the mission of the hospital, which is to provide the best care to the community. “Larry has been a driving force for this hospital the last 26 years,” Kirbach said. “His

leadership, I think, has been exemplary. He's great with the staff, he's great with the public.” It is the encouragement and support of people like Kirbach that Bear has valued most during his time as CEO. “This is a unique community in that it takes care of its own,” he said. “The loyalty, the friendships are deeper and stronger than the five or six other places in downstate Illinois that I grew up in.” Prior coming to Jerseyville, Bear worked at hospitals in Jacksonville and White Hall.

Effects of Obamacare already being felt at the local level By ROBERT LYONS Jersey County Journal The date requiring every resident to carry health insurance is nearing. But, many associated with health insurance locally are not overly optimistic the initial affect will be positive. The Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare, mandates citizens have a health insurance plan in place by the end of March 2014. The concept is that if everyone has insurance, the quality and affordability will increase. As part of the legislation, insurance companies will be forced to accept customers who have preexisting conditions and provide preventative care coverage. However, local employers, healthcare providers and insurance agents aren’t confident the plan will meet its goal, at least not early on. “It’s an ambitious project,” Dr. Ron Johnson, who practices at locations in Pike and Scott counties with Quincy Medical Group, said. “To cover everybody with insurance like we did for car insurance is not a bad idea, because it evens out the payment. But to require everybody to have preventive care, as well, front loads the cost tremendously. The payoff will be

incredible on the other end, though.” Being able to detect and treat diseases and other health risks early on will be a tremendous boon to the healthcare providers, according to Johnson. He said by keeping the populace healthy, thus at work and paying for insurance, the systems begins to sustain itself. “The first few years are going to be painful,” he said. Johnson said he believes it will take three to four years before the benefits of Obamacare will begin to even out the negatives. The downside may be hard to overcome, according to Jessica Dean, an insurance agent with the Jerseyville- and Carrollton-based company Whitworth, Horn and Goetten. Dean said many individuals have been inquiring about health insurance since Oct. 1, a date widely advertised as the opening day of the insurance exchange. She said everything she’s encountered regarding the reform – the website healthcare.gov, the coverages and premiums – has been discouraging. “Unfortunately, [for current clients] their options are less coverage for more money, as of right now. I haven’t seen anything any better for them, unless they (See, OBAMACARE, A2)

A Kane man remains in Greene County Jail after ramming his pickup truck into the side of a bar in Kane early Friday morning. Daniel Rowling, 51, was arrested on a preliminary charge of criminal damage to property, burglary and resisting and obstructing a police officer after he allegedly drove his vehicle into the side of the Kane American Legion early Friday morning. According to Greene County Sheriff Rob McMillen his department received a call around 3 a.m. Friday morning that someone had driven a vehicle into the building. “He was still in the building whenever the Jersey County officers and Carrollton officers got there,” McMillen said. “Our deputy was on his way but they were closer and got there in time to catch him in the building.” The front end of the truck was inside the bar after it had been driven through the side wall near the entry of the bar. McMillen said Rowling had cigarettes and liquor stacked up on the bar and he thought he had also been drinking some of the liquor that was in the bar. He could not say for certain if Rowling was intoxicated at the time of the incident because Rowling has mental health issues. “We think he was intoxicated but we are not sure if that was the total cause of his irrational behavior,” McMillen said. Rowling resisted arrest and fought with officers and was eventually subdued with a Taser and pepper spray. McMillen said Rowling did not require medical attention and was taken to Greene County Jail. Bond was set at $25,000.

Elementary schools meet AYP with increased cut scores By BOB CROSSEN Jersey County Journal Despite increased cut scores for the Illinois State Achievement Tests (ISAT), district schools noticed improvement in their students when analyzing data from standardized tests administered last year. The Illinois State Board of Education (ISBE) increased cut score benchmarks for students from third through eighth grade to make scores more in line with the PSAE and ACT scores at the high school. High school scores across the state had been relatively low in comparison to the elementary and junior high school levels, prior to the cut score change. The increase in standards comes just two school years before the district will switch to the Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College Careers (PARCC), a standardized assessment developed by 18 states, the District of Columbia and the U.S. Virgin Islands. According to the PARCC website, the test aims to assess students' preparedness for collegiate coursework and their eventual careers. During a school board meeting Oct. 16, Jersey Community Unit School District Superintendent Lori Hopkins said the changes to cut scores would have been better served when the new assessment is fully adopted across the state, but noted the district will still seek to achieve high scores in the current testing climate. "You will see some numbers that really do not coincide with those numbers from last year," Hopkins said. "We are fully implemented with Common Core Standards, so I think next year you're going to see more significant improvement, and we are doing this in spite of all the mandates that are on us." And in fact, two of the district's ele-

He also is a small-town boy from downstate Missouri, so he understands places like this,” Bear said. “I look forward to working with Jon.” Bear’s last day on the payroll at JCH will be Oct. 31, but he said he plans to stay active with the hospital as a volunteer. A reception for Bear was held Wednesday afternoon at JCH, in which family, friends and colleagues celebrated his contributions and retirement.

Board secretary Amanda Vaughn said she likes the idea of the program – which is not funded by the district – because it gives some students a competitive outlet they would not otherwise receive. “I’m glad that somebody is doing something with the fifth and sixth grade program again so we can have some competition. We need it desperately,” Vaughn said. Volunteer coaches approved by the board for the fifth and sixth boys team are Churchman, Nick Gettings and Ryan Brunaugh. Coaches approved for the girls team are Cory Breden, Craig Hudson, Jon Myers and Keith Krueger.

But, it is the inclusion of healthy individuals which equalizes the risk for insurers. Even worse, she said, many who are insured now may not be for much longer. “I’m scared there will be people out there who will stop taking coverage, which is the exact opposite of what this plan is supposed to do for our country,” she said. “And they’re not going to be the people who are considered poor.” Not only may some individuals drop coverage, some employers are reconsidering even offering the benefit. Dave Wittman, manager at Jerseyville’s Sinclair Foods, said the small, family-owned grocery store tries to take care of its employees, but the new law is making it tough to do. With the Affordable Care Act came a new definition of full-time employee. Now, anyone who works at least 30 hours a week is eligible for full-time benefits. Wittman said management is weighing its options, which may include limiting

many employees to less than 30 hours, or dropping insurance from the benefits package all together. “We go from having 10 or 15 full-time employees to 30. That just doubles everything we have,” Wittman said. “The way the grocery business is now, we can’t just go out there and raise our prices on everything to pay for that because the industry is so competitive. It’s definitely an issue we’re going to have to make some tough decisions on.” Pike Pig Systems in Pittsfield has already made a decision. The company will no longer offer group insurance as of Jan. 1, 2014, according to co-owner John McIntire. Instead, employees will be given a stipend on their paychecks to cover the cost of an insurance policy. “A lot of the reason we offered the group policy was for pre-existing conditions. Now there’s no advantage to that,” McIntire said. Businesses with 50 or more employees will be assessed a fine if they do not offer health insurance – both Sinclair Foods and Pike Pig Systems employ fewer than 50 – but if any employee is offered the benefit at any company, every full-time employee must be offered it, as well. Wittman said if the decision is made to no longer offer health insurance, the fullM

time employees could see a raise to offset the cost of purchasing it themselves. But, receiving that extra money on a paycheck doesn’t necessarily even everything out. Insurance premiums are on the rise to the tune of 10 to 15 percent per year, according to McIntire, so within a few years that stipend may not make much of an impact. “I think employees are going to realize how much of a benefit company-provided health insurance was when they see what they have to pay,” McIntire said. Government subsidies exist for families and individuals earning up to four time the poverty level, which is $23,550 for a family of four – so a family of four could earn up to $94,200 and still qualify for some assistance, on a sliding scale. To help people navigate the enrollment process, the Illinois Department of Insurance is certifying assisters. Assisters cannot charge fees, according to getcoveredillinois.gov. In this area, each county’s health department has been tasked with assisting. “You would provide the person an opportunity to access the webpage where you sign up for health insurance, and give some explanation in terms of eligibility,” Calhoun County Health Department Administrator Steve Shireman said.

and seventh grade mathematics, 69.9 percent. Overall, reading for grades five through seven were 60.5 percent and mathematics scores for those same grades had a 72.1 meeting or exceeding percentage. Breden said reading is a large focus of improvement for the school, which has instituted a curriculum requiring students to read more books per month as well as changes to vocabulary teachings so students learn the roots of words, their origins and other information to help them break down text easier. "What research will tell us is once a kid can define 200 words, their ability to comprehend goes up exponentially," Breden said, noting the previous method had students transcribe the words and their definitions from a vocabulary book. Reassignments of some teachers in sixth and seventh grades were conducted to specialize teachers in reading and mathematics education, he added, which has also improved student performance. As for the high school, Principal Lisa Schuenke said she was most alarmed by the attendance rates of students in 11th grade last year. She said 53 percent of students missed more than 10 days of classes, according to the data, and noted the school will be focused on reducing the absence totals in the future. Regarding PSAE test scores, the totals dropped from last year's 59.4 percent in mathematics and 64.3 percent in reading to 50 percent and 60 percent, respectively. Schuenke said the school is working to make every classroom relate to the Common Core by asking kids how they achieved and answer and why the method works. Additionally, students will take part in more project-based learning, like coursework in industrial arts or assist at the help desk.

Shireman said he and representatives from other counties are still in the training process, which includes meeting federal and state requirements. “We’re trying to get up and going as quickly as possible,” he said. “We encourage people to come and at least look into what kind of programs are available.” An influx of insured individuals could stretch some healthcare providers thin, though Dr. Johnson expects that affect to have more of an impact in larger urban areas. “This part of Illinois is poor enough and old enough that an awful lot of our residents qualify for Medicare or Medicaid. I don’t think we’re going to see thousands of new patients,” Johnson said. The doctor said patients are going to have to become more accountable for their own health in terms of taking care of their weight, refraining from tobacco use and receiving regular immunizations. He also noted patients with problems like high blood pressure and diabetes can be seen less often, unless an issue arises necessitating a doctor’s visit. “By changing a lot of things in the way we do our practice, we can accommodate some of the influx without more manpower,” Johnson said. “But, if everybody has insurance during flu season, watch out.”

Library dealing with growing collection, waning space By BOB CROSSEN Jersey County Journal With little room and a rising popularity in certain types of reading material, the Jerseyville Public Library will be moving some of its sections to better suit the public’s need. Anita Driver, Jerseyville librarian, said the library will be swapping the locations of its large print texts and its audiobook sections to accommodate the rising number of large print books ordered by the public entity. “We buy so many large print that that room is overflowing” Driver said, noting the swap of adult fiction and non-fiction has done wonders for the library. Becoming a part of a larger network of libraries has also been a boon for the public entity because it can now get more books from other libraries quicker than it had in the past. Though large print books are rising in popularity, Driver said use of the library’s electronic magazine service has grown rapidly since its inception. The library uses Zinio, an electronic magazine service, with which people can check out magazines using their library card number. Driver said it is similar to Freegal,

an online music service, but Zinio allows users to keep a copy of the magazine on their tablet, computer or other device indefinitely. She said Zinio allows users to download as many magazines as they would like, unlike Freegal which puts a cap on the number of songs a user may download each month. Electronic media has been a growing section of the library since the advent of smart phones and tablet PCs, leading the library to seek out grant money to expand the size of the building to provide more space for computers and its physical catalog. Driver said Jerseyville Public Library is among the highest on the priority list to receive grant money to expand the building. However, money for the grant cannot be dispersed without legislative approval, and it is not clear when the Illinois General Assembly will address the issue. “There’s fall session, and then there will be spring session which either one of those would get us in the fiscal year for 2014,” Driver said. “So, we’re at the top of the list and we’ve submitted the proper paperwork. We’re just waiting.” Despite the waiting game, Driver said the library will continue to grow its

collection and provide entertainment for families, including the Halloween Festival this weekend. Saturday at 10:30 a.m., costumes will be judged at Lion’s Club Park where prizes will be awarded when all categories have been judged. A new category was added this year titled pop-culture. “We’re hoping for some zombies and some Duck Dynasty Robertsons and some minions and anything popculture,” Driver said. A parade will start at 11:30 a.m., which travels down State Street from Pine Street to the Prescription Shop at which point merchant trick-or-treating in downtown Jerseyville will begin. A hayride, games, as well as food and drinks will be provided at the carnival on the Jerseyville Public Library’s grounds where there will also be “two inflatables, one for big kids; one for little kids.” The event is co-sponsored by the Jersey County Business Association and the Jerseyville Parks and Recreation Department. For more information about the library’s upcoming programs, its electronic services or the Halloween Festival, visit its website at jerseyvillepublidlibrary.org.

Council reviews TIF projects and costs By BOB CROSSEN Jersey County Journal The Grafton City Council reviewed estimates for TIF eligible projects in the city for the 2013-2014 TIF budget during a meeting Oct. 22. During the past few months, Mayor Tom Thompson called on council members to generate lists of possible projects to be completed with TIFgenerated funds before the district expires in 2017. Among the list of items for the 2013-2014 TIF budget are seven projects, and alderman Jerry Bauersachs asked if any were given priority over others based on need or other factors. The mayor said the project most desperately needed is the replacement of the sewer main on Second Street, construction of a storm sewer near the Marina and repaving of the Second Street after underground work is complete. The total cost of those three projects is approximately $330,000 “Getting those things done goes hand-in-hand with the grant we have for bike trail enhancement,” Thompson said. “We have to get these things done before we can proceed with the bike

trail.” The paving of Second Street will stretch from Brown to Maple where the grade will be raised approximately one foot with “new 12-foot wide asphalt pavement,” according to the proposed project list. In addition to the work on Second Street, the most costly investments are improvements to the Cherry Street Lift Station which was completed this past summer. Pumps at the station as well as a control panel were replaced during the process. The remaining projects, with the exclusion of the preliminary estimate of $80,000 project to repair a failed sewer on Cedar Street, average around $10,000 in cost. A study report is being conducted by Juneau Associates for a clearer estimate of the cost of the repairs for the Cedar Street sewer. Pavement failures on Grafton Hills Drive – parts of the pavement were sinking - have been addressed for cheaper than anticipated. Engineers feared water had seeped below the pavement creating a cavity and weakness in certain areas, leading to sinking of the road. The preliminary budget for that repair was $10,000.

Paving of Mulberry Street from Main Street to Second Street was also budgeted around $10,000, and is recommended to be completed with the paving of Second Street to cut down on costs. The section of road would be raised one foot in grade and be 16 feet wide when paved. Additionally, the council approved a resolution for the Grafton Chamber of Commerce Naughty or Nice Run Dec. 15, which the city is also sponsoring. The city and chamber “assume all liabilities and pay all claims for any damage which shall be occasioned by the closing of Illinois Route 3,” and the city will provide a “comprehensive general liability insurance policy or additional insured endorsement in the amount of $100,000 per person,” according to the resolution. In other business, the council with the exception of Flo Rowling and Charlie Linnemeyer who were not present: • Approved to spend $400 on a booth at the St. Louis Sport and Boat Show to promote tourism in Grafton. • Approved the minutes of the previous meeting, the bills and the treasurer’s report.

Affordable Care Act not bringing down insurance costs

Publisher and Editor: Julie Boren

The Issue: Obamacare Our View: Healthy but poor is not a good compromise

publisher@campbellpublications.net

his isn’t the first time Americans have been cornered into buying insurance. All but one state requires insurance in order to operate a motor vehicle. But, until now, none required residents to buy health coverage.

A mandate requiring health insurance cannot be compared to a requirement to carry auto insurance. Requiring insurance for drivers makes complete sense; if there’s an accident there needs to be the assurance the damage can be paid for by the person at fault. Like requiring us to wear seat belts, the requirement to carry health insurance is an example of the government attempting to protect us from ourselves. The Affordable Care Act even goes as far as dictating what coverages people must have, which is most definitely overextending its role in citizens’ lives. The intentions of the legislation may have been honorable. The healthcare system needed reform. But, placing an undo burden on healthy Americans is not the answer. The root of the problem – the outrageous cost of healthcare itself – is where the focus of legislation should have been directed. Many of the “affordable” plans offered by the government’s marketplace come with a high deductible. So, there is the cost of monthly premium plus a deductible – often in the thousands of dollars – that must be paid before there is any benefit to be realized. For the healthy young male who may very rarely visit a doctor, as local insurance agent Jessica Dean has pointed out, the penalty for not carrying insurance may be far less of a financial burden than the monthly payment of an insurance plan. Ensuring those with pre-existing conditions are eligible for coverage is certainly a step in the right direction. But, someone has to pay for the pre-existing conditions insurance companies are now being forced to cover. The insurance providers are still planning on making profits, so covering pre-existing conditions surely raises the cost for everyone else, especially if healthy individuals are not buying coverage. Obamacare will ultimately lead to many people who are currently insured giving up their coverage or, even worse, losing it. Those individuals may even begin losing wages as employers are forced to reduce hours or quit offering health insurance in their benefits package (if the company employs fewer than 50 people). The current economic climate is not conducive to increasing the financial burden on business owners or individuals. The assistance available to offset the cost of an insurance policy is minimal. Those who will see the greatest amount of assistance are many of the same who already qualify for programs such as Medicare or Medicaid because of their age, income or other factors. For some who fall within the higher end of the assistance spectrum - earning closer to four times the poverty level – receiving a tax credit once a year but then struggling to make ends meet month to month the rest of the year isn’t exactly a balanced system. “It’s an ambitious project,” Dr. Ron Johnson said. But, there will be unexpected and unintended consequences, which are already being realized. The solution to the healthcare dilemma should not have been the one-sizefits-all option for an entire nation. Hopefully, the law will continue to evolve, the insurance premiums will come down in price and the Affordable Care Act will actually make healthcare affordable for all Americans. But, until the the price of healthcare itself comes down, that is unlikely.

JOURNAL SEEKING GUEST COLUMNISTS If anyone is interested in submitting a guest column, please contact the Journal. There are many topics out there and we have found that our readers have a lot of thoughtful things to say, on a broad range of topics. Columns, like letters, should add to the public discourse in a helpful way. Guest columns are submitted by a rotating roster of columnists or are simply sent in unsolicited and, if appropriate, are published. These columns do not reflect the views of the newspaper, only the writer. Length is no more than 800 words. Deadlines are Tuesday at 10 a.m. Topics are the choice of the columnist although we encourage our contributors to avoid obviously inflammatory issues (religion, abortion, etc.). Though we are a local paper, contributors are free to write about national or international issues (the pledge, the war, Social Security, health care, etc.). The Journal reserves the right to hold, edit or withdraw a column. These guest columns are an opportunity for our contributors to share an idea, an opinion or information; it is not an opportunity to sell a product or a service. We are looking for informed opinion and lively debate. Our only requirements are that your column have relevance to our community and our readership and be responsibly written (no personal attacks or self promotion, for example).

Radical shifts in thought, radical results in health Halloween is coming – trick-ortreaters will soon be at our doors, ringing the bells, and asking for a treat. Superheroes, ballerinas, and goblins of all sorts will be invading, but we will not be afraid, because we know that beneath each disguise, no matter how scary, is a child. We do not define the child by the costume or mask he is wearing – it is a fake. Similarly, individuals are increasingly taking a stand to be identified separately from a disability or disease they may be facing. “I am not my disease”, Patrick McNamara, PhD, posted on about. com, “Although the disease may invade virtually all parts of my life, it nevertheless cannot touch me – who I really am – unless I give my consent – unless I allow it to do so.” He continued, “…perhaps one of the best things we can do for one another – [is] to remind one another that we are not reducible to a disease – no matter how serious or

severe that disease is.” Rollingwithhusky, a blogger on the Experience Project website, agreed. She wrote, “I refuse to be defined by my disability. I will not let anyone reduce me to being a diagnosis.” The health benefits of choosing how we think about ourselves is increasingly being researched. Kelly Turner, as part of her doctoral dissertation, interviewed 80 cancer survivors. She found that most of them felt their state of mind helped produce the remission. “According to my research, there are many ways to clean up a body,” she said, “You can do it with diet. You can do it with meditation. You can do it with forgiveness.” But to change the state of one’s thinking is not always easy. Turner calls what her interviewees experienced “radical remission.” She stated, “It involves radical changes, which is really the heart of my research – that these

people [canGuest cer survivors] Column made radical changes in BY TIM their lives.” St. Paul MITCHINSON made radical changes in how he saw himself and how he lived his life. He also healed people of some incurable diseases of his day. In one famous talk he urged men and women (of all faiths and none) to similar shifts in thinking. He said, “put off the old man, and put on the new man.” It’s time to better understand how a shift in our image of who we really are can produce real health results. Thomas (Tim) Mitchinson is a self-syndicated columnist writing on the relationship between thought, spirituality and health, and trends in that field. He is also the media spokesman for Christian Science in Illinois.

Three simple rules for improved citizenship The United States came within hours of defaulting on its debt. If we citizens did that, we’d be bankrupt and lose our credit rating. We spent several weeks with a partial government shutdown. The solution has been to punt the problem into 2014. We have a grave crisis of leadership in America. But, even more, we have a grave crisis of followership in America. By followership, I mean citizenship. As citizens, we are the source of government. “We, the people” are the sovereign. Not kings or lords. Not states or bureaucrats. Not millionaires or party bosses. We are a republic, led by men and women voted into office by those few who vote. In 2012, President Barack Obama received 51 percent of the popular vote. Governor Mitt Romney, the challenger, received 47 percent of the popular vote. Depending on the source, 58.2 percent or 57.5 percent of those registered to vote actually voted. Approximately 58 percent of Americans eligible to vote (of age, not felons, etc.)—130,292,355 (US Election Project) or 126,000,000 (Bipartisan Policy Center)—are registered to vote. Depending on the source, 221,925,820 (US Election Project) or 218,959,000 (Bipartisan

Policy Center), are eligible to vote. The US population, at start of 2013, was 312,780,968 (US Census Bureau). The winner in 2012, Barack Obama, received 65,455,010 votes (CNN), which was 51 percent of the votes cast, 51 percent of those registered, less than 30 percent of those eligible to vote, and 20.9 percent of all Americans. The percent of Americans voting in 2012 is down from the earlier presidential elections. The percent of Americans registered to vote was also down. Yet, the number of Americans eligible to vote is going up, as is our population. “In a democracy, we get the government we deserve.” This quote has been attributed to many—Joseph de Maistre, Alexis deTocqueville, Thomas Jefferson, Ben Franklin, among others. H.L. Mencken had an apt variation: “People deserve the government they get and they deserve to get it good and hard.” America is in trouble. We can blame it on our leaders. But, we put them there. So, we must blame ourselves. We’re lousy citizens! Let me suggest three simple rules for improved citizenship. First, be informed. Don’t just listen to like-minded folks. That’s called an “echo chamber.” It leads to

self-deception. Guest It leads to surColumn prise. It’s the same surprise BY JOHN that caught WILLIAMS Gov. Romney unprepared to accept defeat last year. Second, participate, don’t abdicate. If we don’t participate, we abdicate. And we deserve the result. Failing to vote is a vote for the other side. Third, support the process— whether you win or lose. This may be the more difficult part of democracy. It is “playing by the rules” and accepting the outcome of the game, knowing that we’ll have the opportunity in two, four or six years to play the game again and obtain a different outcome. We should expect the other side to accept the outcome. If we don’t accept the rules of the game, play by the rules and accept the outcome, we do not have democracy. Instead, it is tyranny—by the majority or by a minority. Either way, it is not democracy. To apply another quote, tyranny will prevail “when good men do nothing.” John Williams is a professor of political science at Principia College.

Your Views food pantries. Last year we were able to donate over 8,000 cans and $1,500 dollars for fresh foods. We were only able to do this through the support of our parents and members of the community who gave cans and money. Our student body comes through in a big way by donating cans at school for the first two weeks of November. This year we would like to ask you to help us again as we kick off our canned food drive. On Wednesday, Oct. 30, student council members will trick-or-treat from 5 to 7 p.m. We will go to any house with a porch light on and ask that you donate a can or two to help

JCHS student council trick-or-treating for food pantries TO THE EDITOR: It is that time of year again when nights get cold and days have a fall chill in the air. For most of us it is a welcome relief from hot summer days. However, that is not true for all of the residents of Jersey County. Many families struggle to keep warm and put food on the table for their families. The student council of Jersey Community High School realizes this need and knows how important it is for all of us in our county to do whatever we can to help others. Each year we have a Thanksgiving canned food drive to help our local

our community. Our students will be wearing their student council T-shirts and have school lanyards rather than Halloween costumes. Please take the time to help us out if you can. Ask anyone who works for the local food banks how much this means to our community and you will see it is truly an important task. So please be as generous as you can when our students trick-or-treat on Oct. 30. MAUREEN SHORTAL RENCH Student Council Advisor Jerseyville, Ill.

Dave and Shirley Plummer decorated their trunk with Spongebob for last year’s Trunk or Treat.

Trunk or Treat Halloween night at area churches The Jerseyville United Methodist Church is celebrating its tenth annual Trunk or Treat on Halloween night, Oct. 31. Trunk or Treat is a community outreach event where the church provides a safe and welcoming environment for all children to trick-or-treat. Church members decorate the trunks of their cars and hand out candy to trick-or-treaters. The children and their families are then welcomed into the church for a free hot meal, including a hot dog, a bowl of chili, chips and a cookie. Trunk or Treat was an idea picked up from The Church of the Resurrection in Kansas City,

Mo., while the church staff was attending a training session. It began with 10 trunks lined up on the parking lot, and had 100 trickor-treaters. Trunk or Treat has now grown into almost 30 trunks, recording over 1,100 trick-ortreaters in just two hours. Not only is Trunk or Treat a great time for children, the adults delight in being involved. “We have had some amazing participants over the years, and it has been a lot of fun,” Pastor Mark Myers stated. “We have had whole vehicles decorated, movie scenes recreated, Bible stories come to life, celebrity look-alikes and some very original

scenes, although not too many children wanted to take a seat at the Hillbilly Dentist trunk.” So many people have enjoyed Trunk or Treat that other Jerseyville churches have started participating, too. The Presbyterian Church will be hosting Trunk or Treat in its parking lot on the corner of West Carpenter and South Washington Street. The First Baptist Church, at 200 West Pearl Street, will also be having Trunk or Treat. And, for the 10th year, the Jerseyville United Methodist Church, 1200 South Liberty Street, will welcome trick-or-treaters, rain or shine, from 6 to 8 p.m.

How can I avoid spreading the flu? Preventative measures such as frequent hand washing and covering you mouth when coughing and sneezing are recommended. However, a yearly flu vaccination is the best protection against contracting and spreading the disease. Who should be vaccinated? The CDC’s recommendation for annual influenza immunization includes all people ages 6 months and older.

McKay NAPA Auto Parts raised a total of $40,000 through several benefit events in 2013 for MakeA-Wish Illinois to provide ‘Wishes’ for ill children in local areas around McKay NAPA’s 18 Mid and Southwest Illinois stores. The corporation raised the funds through raffle ticket sales, a golf benefit, employees, customers, friends and donor support. Costs for a ‘Wish’ are approximately $6,000 for each child. This year’s fundraising concluded with the final $10 Kubota ticket sales on Thursday, Oct. 10 at the Annual McKay NAPA Auto Parts Tool & Equipment Show, held in The Crystal Ballroom in Staunton. In front of a crowd of several hundred people, the name of Russell Aper, of Pocahontas, was drawn as the winner for the customized new Rugged Terrain Kubota RTV400Ci Vehicle in Hardwoods Camouflage. The two passenger, 4WD mid-size utility vehicle features legendary Kubota reliability and agility, and easily loads into a full size long bed pickup. The RTV with standard rollover protection has a 16 HP air-cooled EFI and advanced CVT gas powered engine; 4-wheel disc brakes; and independent rear suspension. Aber was thrilled to receive it as he hunts and fishes and will put it to good use throughout the year. In the past four years, McKay

Sgt. Immer visits Grafton Elementary pen pals Sgt. Jeffrey Immer, father of Grafton Elementary 4th grader, Eli Immer, has recently returned from a year-long deployment in Kuwait. While his dad was deployed, Eli and his classmates (then Melissa Medford’s 3rd graders) wrote letters and sent pictures to Sgt. Immer. Last week Sgt. Immer came to Grafton Elementary to visit with his pen pals (now in Rick Eberlin’s class). He talked about his job in the Army and the country of Kuwait, and he led the students in a team building exercise. Eberlin and Medford are grateful to Sgt. Immer for his service to our country, and for taking the time to share his experience with the students.

There are three times to choose from: 12-12:45 p.m., 1-1:45 p.m. or 2-2:45 p.m. The success of this program is dependent upon parent’s participation as volunteer station leaders, therefore all parents are expected to volunteer at least one week.

Brighton Elementary kindergartners, first graders and second graders were caught doing the right thing. They were awarded a pencil in the good morning meeting. Front, left to right, kindergartners Cameron Judkins, Bradley Green, and Kolton Weakley. Second row, left to right, first graders Rebecca Hall, Josh Ramirez, and Kaitlyn Rappel. Back, left to right, second graders Caden Bunting, Jackson Strohbeck and Mia Greenwell.

For years, MJM has offered the sons and daughters of its members an opportunity to win scholarships through the Thomas H. Moore Illinois Electric Cooperatives (IEC) Memorial Scholarship Program, which is open to high school seniors across the state of Illinois. MJM is pleased to announce that in addition to the IEC Memorial Scholarships, student applicants are also eligible to win scholarships specifically intended for students from the local MJM area. The new MJM Scholarship Program will award two $1,000 scholarships to children of MJM members. “One of the seven principles that guide MJM and the other electric cooperatives is ‘Concern for Community.’ These scholarship programs help MJM honor that principle,” said Chris Spears, President/CEO of the Cooperative. “We are always seeking ways to make a difference in the places our members live. One of the best ways we can do that is by helping our youth through programs such as these.” What is the MJM Scholarship Program? MJM will award two $1,000 scholarships to sons and daughters of MJM members. The applicant must be a high school senior who is planning to enroll in a full-time (at least 12 hours) undergraduate course of study at an accredited two-year or four-year college, university, community college, or vocational/technical school in the United States. Sons and daughters of MJM employees and directors are not eligible to apply. What is the Thomas H. Moore Illinois Electric Cooperatives (IEC) Memorial Scholarship

Program? Eight scholarships of $1,500 each will be awarded in 2014 through the IEC Memorial Scholarship Program. Out of these eight awards, four scholarships will be awarded to high school seniors who are the sons or daughters of an Illinois electric cooperative member receiving service from the cooperative. A fifth scholarship, the Earl W. Struck Memorial Scholarship, will be awarded to a student who is the son or daughter of an Illinois electric cooperative employee or director. The sixth and seventh scholarships are reserved for students enrolling full-time at a two-year Illinois community college who are the sons or daughters of Illinois electric cooperative members, employees or directors. The eighth annual $1500 scholarship, the “LaVern and Nola McEntire Lineworker’s Scholarship,” was created in 2011 to help pay for costs to attend the lineworker’s school conducted by the Association of Illinois Electric Cooperatives in conjunction with Lincoln Land Community College (LLCC), Springfield. Sons and daughters of co-op members; relatives of co-op employees or directors; individuals who have served or are serving in the armed forces or National Guard; and individuals participating in the LLCC lineworker’s program are all eligible for the lineworker’s scholarship. How do I apply? Students must meet the required criteria, which are outlined in the full list of official rules. These rules can be found at www.mjmec.coop, the MJM office, or your high school guidance counselor’s

office. Scholarships are awarded based on grade point average, college entrance test scores, work and volunteer experience, participation in school and community activities, biographical statement and knowledge of electric cooperatives, as demonstrated by a short essay. The winning students for each scholarship program are chosen by a panel of judges at the Association of Illinois Electric Cooperatives. To enter online: Fill out the IEC Memorial Scholarship Program application online. A link is available at MJM’s website, www.mjmec.coop. By applying for the IEC Memorial Scholarship, you will automatically be entered for the MJM Scholarship Program, as well. To enter by mail: A hard copy of the dualprogram application is available at your high school guidance counselor’s office, or at the MJM office. These pages can also be downloaded and printed at MJM’s website, www.mjmec.coop. Mail the completed application to MJM’s office. The mailing address is 264 N. East St., PO Box 80, Carlinville, IL 62626. Only one completed application is necessary to apply to both scholarship programs, and students who apply are eligible to win scholarships from both programs. The application must be submitted by Dec. 31, 2013. MJM Scholarship Program winners will be recognized at MJM’s Annual Meeting on March 15, 2014. IEC Memorial Scholarship winners will be notified by May 1, 2014. For more information regarding the scholarships, contact Erin Murphy at (217) 854-3137.

Grafton is wild about reading Grafton Elementary students enjoy literacy, language, and learning activities during library class. Denise Bick, librarian, provides instruction that supports and extends classroom instruction. A typical library period includes selected students standing and

speaking to their classmates during a book share about the book they just read, why they chose that particular book, and whether or not they recommend it to others. Bick reads a story during which she models many reading strategies. Students are encouraged to

check out books at an appropriate reading level. Once books are checked out, students begin reading their new selection on comfy beanbags, child sofa and chairs, and wild rugs.

Jersey County 4-H Arts and Crafts Workshop a big hit Jersey County Extension in cooperation with Jersey County HCE (Home and Community Education), hosted a 4-H Arts and Crafts Workshop on Monday, Oct. 14. Area youth between the ages of 7 to 14 years of age met at the Jersey County Extension Office in Jerseyville. Jersey County HCE members, Sandy Bechtold, Karen Ziegler and Mary Lou Hess instructed the workshop. Those attending decorated pencil boxes with masking tape torn in small pieces and applied to the top of the boxes. They followed that with a coating of brown shoe polish for texture and sprayed with clear lacquer to resemble leather or wood craft. The second craft was a fall doorstop. This

was painted to resemble a pumpkin or jack-o-lantern. A Special Interest club will be forming in Jersey County in the near future. If your son or daughter has an interest in arts and crafts, please contact the Jersey County Extension Office for more details. A SPIN club is a special interest club that concentrates on one particular area. They will meet six times a year, with a new craft every month.

Lady Panthers win tournament title School record believed to be set SAM ELLIOTT Jersey County Journal A 4-0 day complete with a championship at the Jersey Tournament Saturday secured the Lady Panthers volleyball team a winning season — potentially for the first time ever — while setting what's believed to be a new Jersey Community High School record for wins in a season. The Lady Panthers swept through pool play and downed Carrollton in the championship match at their home tournament Saturday, improving their record this season to 16-10. "[A winning season] hasn't happened since rally scoring started in 2003," Jersey head coach Bob Siemer said. "I don't have any records before that. We won a regional in 1993, but I can't find anything about the record. "I'm pretty sure 16 [wins] would be a school record and I know for sure it is as far as going back to 2003." The Lady Panthers began pool play with a 25-14, 25-15 win against Triopia in which Lia Roundcount and Macy Thurston put down eight kills each and Kristen Marshall and Sydney Hagen combined for 22 service points. Jersey beat Staunton in three games 24-26, 25-15, 15-7 led by Thurston and Marshall's eight kills apiece. Ashton Kuehnel added six kills and five blocks, while Roundcount and Abby Rogers chipped in two kills and nine blocks each. Marshall tallied six kills and as

many service points while Kuehnel added eight blocks and eight service points in a 22-25, 25-17, 15-12 win against Litchfield that capped pool play and set up a title match with Carrollton. Jersey beat the Lady Hawks 25-10, 25-23 behind 14-straight service points by Lindsey Shaw in the opening game. Roundcount, Marshall and Kuehnel each added six kills. "Lia Roundcount loves playing against Carrollton. She grew up there until she was 12," Siemer said. "She thanked everybody on our team afterwards for helping her beat them. We played really well all day and we played great against Carrollton." The championship was the first for the Lady Panthers in their six years of hosting the Jersey Tournament. After a regular season finale against Civic Memorial at 6:30 p.m. Thursday at JCHS, the Lady Panthers will face either CM or Greenville in the semifinals of the Roxana Class 2A Regional at 7 p.m. Tuesday. selliott@campbellpublications.net Mike Weaver/Jersey County Journal

Six runners named all-league Six Jersey Community High School runners earned all-league honors at the Mississippi Valley Conference championship meet Thursday at Principia College in Elsah. The Jersey boys tallied 71 points to finish fourth behind league champion Waterloo (37 points), Mascoutah (55) and Triad (58). Freshman Ben Flowers led the Panthers with a tenth-place finish in 16 minutes, 19 seconds. Sophomore teammate Nick Reynolds (13th, 16:31), senior Matt Wendell (14th, 16:34) and sophomore Mike Roach (15th, 16:40) joined Flowers as all-conference performers. Senior Eric Hecker (19th, 17:06) rounded out the Panthers' scoring. Jersey senior Kaylin Smith and freshman Kaleigh Grace were all-conference performers finishing in the top-15 for the Lady Panthers. Smith was ninth in 20:14, while Grace placed 15th in 21:18. Sophomore Tabbitha Bradley (24th, 22:20), junior Robyn Johnson (31st, 23:56) and senior Katie Weishaupt (32nd, 24:13) were Jersey's third, fourth and fifth finishers. The Lady Panthers, with 111 points, finished fifth in the team standings. Highland (23 points) won the league title, followed by Mascoutah (78), Waterloo (86) and Triad (89). Jersey's cross country runners will compete at the Jacksonville Class 2A Regional at 11 a.m. Saturday at Jacksonville Community Park.

SAM ELLIOTT Jersey County Journal The Jersey Community High School football team assured itself a return trip to the IHSA postseason, winning a 29-13 decision against Civic Memorial for a playoff-clinching sixth victory Friday at the Don Snyders Sports Complex. The Panthers (6-2, 4-1 Mississippi Valley Conference) fell behind 7-0 to the rival Eagles early in the second quarter, but Austin Lolos quickly erased any momentum CM had gained. The Jersey senior took the ensueing kickoff 91 yards for the game-tying touchdown and the Panthers never trailed again after he punched in a 3-yard touchdown just more than one minute before halftime for a 14-7 lead. "We've done that a couple times," Jersey head coach Dave Jacobs, in reference to Lolos' long return, said. "We'll take points any way we can get them. We work really hard on our special teams and the kids executed really well." Lolos said the play gave the Panthers a spark after a wet and rainy night, plus some CM momentum, could have dampened spirits. "Any 90-yard touchdown is going to spark any team," he said. "I felt

like CM stopped pursuing and we just kept going." A 27-yard Austin Isringhausen field goal extended Jersey's lead early in the third quarter, but Eagles quarterback Kyle Kirkpatrick broke free for a 68-yard touchdown run to pull CM within 17-13 just past the midway point of the frame. "He got out one time on a big touchdown run, but we did keep him contained as well as we could. Our defense made enough plays on him," Jacobs said. "It was just a well-fought, kind of sloppy game, but I’m proud of our guys to clinch [the playoffs] at home on Senior Night." Jersey quarterback Billy Ritchey extended his team's lead by scoring on a 7-yard touchdown run late in the third quarter before the Panthers added another field goal and safety in the fourth. Ritchey threw for 183 yards on 12-of-25 passing, with junior Jacob Varble bringing in four catches for 90 yards. That brought Varble's season total to 722 receiving yards, setting a new JCHS single-season record. The Panthers, hoping to secure a home playoff game, end their regular season at 7 p.m. Friday on the road against Mattoon (6-2). selliott@campbellpublications.net

Seniors prove 2012 success was no fluke

A collection of circumstances came together perfectly in leading to the Jersey Community High School football team's The Sam Antics first perfect By Sam Elliott regular season since 2000 — and first winning season at all since 2003 — last year. Head coach Dave Jacobs and the team had gotten more than a year together to learn his system — a system tweaked after what Jacobs learned in his first year on the job here in Jerseyville. Strong seniors anchored improved offensive and defensive lines. A dangerous running game emerged — as did a confident defense and helpful special teams play. And, yes, there was Mitch Kimble. (A brief refresher for those of you maybe living under a rock last season: Kimble was the do-it-all quarterback who threw and ran for a combined 2,384 yards — a school record — and 25 touchdowns. He's currently a freshman on the Syracuse University football team.) The haters and naysayers — the rest of the Mississippi Valley Conference — wanted to chalk up the Panthers' 2012 success as a fluke, the result of one good player that carried his team. "We heard that last year might be a fluke with Mitch, but these guys this year have really done some good things. They’ve kind of raised the bar a little bit more," Jacobs said. "Mitch got a lot of credit, which was well deserved. He was a good player and is at Syracuse now, but we’ve still got really good players here." Including Kimble's replacement, who's already done things at the position he didn't. With big shoes to fill, senior Billy Ritchey has quarterbacked this season's team back into the playoffs. Backing up Kimble last season, Ritchey watched and learned and has now thrived in the starting role. "I don’t think Billy gets fazed by anything," Jacobs said. "He’s kind of a gunslinger-type of kid, he wants the ball and he wants to throw it." He's thrown it to the tune of a school-record 24 touchdown passes and he's currently just 317 yards away from the school's singleseason passing yardage record set by Mitch Watkins in 2003. "Billy’s a tough, good football player that has really grasped the offense and knows who to go to with the ball," Jacobs said. "I’m really proud of him and what he’s done so far." The Panthers' receiving corps are no fluke, either — the group's just as talented, athletic and deep as a season ago. Five different Panthers have hauled in touchdowns and Jacob Varble just set a new singleseason school record for receiving yardage. His 722 so far this season surpass the 664 John Williams put up in 1991. And there was nothing fluky about that dangerous Jersey running game from last season. Austin Lolos is well on his way to another 1,000yard rushing campaign this year and he's scored 15 touchdowns. Lolos had two and Ritchey added another as the Panthers proved they're back to belonging in the postseason with their sixth win of the season Friday. "I think it affects the seniors the most. Not just because it’s Senior Night, but mainly just to prove that last year wasn’t a fluke," Lolos said. "Yes, we did have Mitch. Mitch is obviously an outstanding player — he’s at Syracuse right now — but we lost a lot of key players from last year and we had guys step up." Now after this year, that burden of proving the previous season was no fluke will fall to the school's 2014 team. Lolos likes their chances. "I believe that this year isn’t going to be a fluke either. We have guys stepping up," he said. "This year I guess has proven that we’re here to stay. I have complete confidence in next year’s team, too." selliott@campbellpublications.net
