Commissioner's tax woes may affect eligibility to serve city By ROBERT LYONS Jersey County Journal

JCHD observes National Home Care Month. See page A5

JOURNAL

Jerseyville's commissioner of accounts and finances owes more than $18,000 in county property taxes, which presents a problem, according to Illinois law. Yvonne Hartmann is liable for 21 properties with outstanding taxes from the 2011 and 2012 tax years, 19 of which are in the city of Jerseyville. Illinois Compiled Statute (ILCS) 3.1-10-5, which deals with qualifications for elective office, states "a person is not eligible to hold municipal office, if that person is, at any time during the term of office, in arrears in the payment of a tax or other indebtedness due to the municipality…" According to Jersey County Treasurer Gib Ashlock, 11.55 percent of the average Jerseyville resident's county tax payment goes

directly to the city, not including the Jerseyville Public Library's share. Using that percentage as a guide, the city was not paid $1,643.66 owed by its commissioner of accounts and finances. The remaining $16,542.23 is owed to the various other taxing bodies. Hartmann contends the taxes are owed on rental properties, and that the taxes on her own home have never been delinquent. "The rest of it is an LLC, it's a business," she said when asked during the public comment portion of Tuesday night's city council meeting. A majority of the money was due for 2011 taxes, payable in 2012, with 15 delinquencies within the city (17 total in the county). Another four occurred in 2012, payable in 2013. Nine of the 15 delinquent properties from 2011 within Jerseyville were sold to tax buyers last year.

So, the 2011 taxes were paid on nine properties, but are still owed by Hartmann if the properties are not to be forfeited to the tax buyer. "The taxes have to be three years in arrears, then after the third year – which is actually two years real time – [the tax buyers] go to court and petition the court for a deed," Ashlock said, giving a general explanation of the process. The 2012 taxes on those properties have been paid by the same buyers, according to the treasurer's records. In order to redeem the properties, the owner must pay the tax buyer the cost of the taxes, plus interest. The same can be said for the six properties' taxes which were not purchased by tax buyers. Taxes that have not been purchased or been redeemed by a buyer are listed as sold to the Jersey County Trustee, an agent acting on behalf of the county. The county can then obtain

the deeds to the properties after the same three-year period, paying roughly 18 percent of the taxes owed to the trustee. Most of the 19 properties with delinquent taxes owed are listed in the county's tax rolls as belonging to Robert and Yvonne Hartmann, while others are listed with 3 Scotties, LLC as the owner. According to secretary of state records, Yvonne Hartmann is the agent of 3 Scotties, LLC, with the Hartmanns' home address listed as the principal office. One dozen properties appeared on the delinquent tax list for 2011 (published in October 2012) as belonging to only Robert Hartmann, Yvonne Hartmann's husband, but have since been transferred to 3 Scotties, LLC, leaving four in Robert Hartmann and Yvonne Hartmann's name. Five properties, not including mobile (See, TAXES, A2)

The Jersey County Board approved to extend the suspension of a county employee with pay and to provide that employee back pay during a special meeting Oct. 23. Two members of the board – John Houseman and Roger Newberry – voted No to the motion and board member Jeff Ferguson abstained from voting. Donna Moore was not present during the meeting, and did not vote while the remaining members of the board voted in favor of the measure. Board member Rhonda Linders said she voted Yes based on information provided by the county's liability insurance provider. During its regular meeting Oct. 8, the Jersey County Board voted unanimously to suspend a county employee without pay pending an investigation. The employee's name was not released, and the investigation was handled internally. Chairman Jerry Wittman said after the special meeting Oct. 23 the county's insurance provider will conduct its own investigation due to concerns of liability. The extended suspension of the employee does not have a termination date, but rather the suspension will last as long as the investigation, Wittman said. Though the board did not open for public comment before adjourning once, it did reconvene minutes later when members of the public were given the option for comment. Gary Hayes was not present for public comment. During public comment, Don Walsh said his daughter is overwhelmed by the work she must do because of the county employee's suspension. The suspension of the employee has affected more than just county employees, as contractors drafting blue prints have encountered delays in getting them approved. Rob Higgins spoke about that concern during the meeting, asking what safeguards the county board has in place to keep county offices running smoothly. Wittman said he contacted Jerseyville (See, SUSPENSION, A2)

Jerseyville man faces federal sex trafficking indictment By ROBERT LYONS Jersey County Journal A 39-year-old Jerseyville man is being held without bond after allegedly attempting to engage in sexual acts with an 8-year-old girl. Timothy S. Griesemer was indicted Wednesday, Oct. 23 by a federal grand jury on charges of commercial sex trafficking of a child and inducement of a child to engage in prostitution. According to the complaint, on Oct. 8 Griesemer contacted a woman with whom he was in a "purely sexual" relationship, identified in court documents as CW-1, by text message requesting a girl between 10 and 14 years be brought into their sexual acts. CW-1 contacted the Jerseyville Police Department the next day to report Griesemer's request. Working with police and a second female informant known by Griesemer, identified as CW-2, on Oct. 10 Griesemer was led to believe CW-2's daughter, who was said to be turning 9 two days later, would be made available for between $150 and $200. Griesemer allegedly responded by text message "if it goes smooth and I get what I want, I'll pay the 200$ an (sic) if not I'll give what I think is fair…" Later in the day, Griesemer sent text messages asking that CW-2 ensure her daughter not talk about the incident, stating "cause if she does we're all going down! I don't want that." A meeting was set up at CW-1's Jerseyville apartment for approximately 6 p.m. on Oct. 10. Once inside, Griesemer entered CW-1's bedroom and was arrested by a Jerseyville police officer and two secret service agents. A condom, two bottles of lubricant, a small blue vibrator and $311 cash was seized from Griesemer. When questioned, according to court documents, Griesemer said the text message conversation was "fantasy role playing" and he did not intend to engage in sexual acts with a child. He alleged he brought the money with him to give as a loan to CW-1 and CW-2. A consensual search of Griesemer's cell phone revealed the text conversations had been deleted. However, the conversation was preserved by CW-1. The commercial sex trafficking of a child charge alleges Griesemer, attempted to recruit, entice and obtain, by any means, a person under the age of 14 years old, knowing the person would be caused to be engaged in a commercial sex act. The inducement of a child to engage in prostitution alleges Griesemer knowingly attempted to persuade, induce, entice and coerce an individual under 18 years old to to engage in prostitution or any sexual activity for which the defendant could be charged with aggravated criminal sexual abuse. Griesemer has pleaded not guilty to the charges. A trial date of Dec. 2 has been set for the case, in the Southern Illinois Federal Court. Griesemer was remanded into the custody of the U.S. Marshals while he awaits trial. If convicted, Griesemer faces a sentence of up to life in prison on both counts. The case was investigated by Illinois State Police, Jerseyville Police Department and the United States Secret Service Southern Illinois Cyber-Crime Unit. Griesemer faced three felony sex charges in 1992, including criminal sexual assault, attempted aggravated sexual abuse and aggravated criminal sexual assault of a victim 13 years old or younger. All three cases involved a separate alleged victim. However, the aggravated sexual abuse case was dismissed and Griesemer was found not guilty on the other two charges in two separate jury trials.

Local man making music with odds and ends By ROBERT LYONS Jersey County Journal The twangy sounds looming around Apple Fest or the JCHS Craft Fair may have been someone picking on one of Smokey Joe's String Things' instruments. Or it may have been the builder, Joe Sears, himself. Sears builds stringed instruments, amplifiers and stomp boxes from cigar boxes, bed pans, gas cans, license plates, kitchen pots and anything else he can make work. "Basically, any type of container that will resonate sound, it's built flat top or is a box shape is what I look for to make instruments," Sears said. Some of the instruments are a hybrid of salvaged guitar parts and other items for the body, and others are purely Sears' own creation. After building his first ukelele for his daughter using a cigar box as a body, he built a guitar and

bass for his son and daughter's boyfriend. Since then, he hasn't stopped producing the instruments or finding new materials to integrate into his work. "It just kind of escalated from there," Sears said. "Everything I read said, basically, you're not going to build just one. I'm up to about No. 25 right now." About half of the stringed gizmos he's constructed have pickups, meaning they can be plugged into an amplifier. Appropriately, Sears offers a unique line of amplifiers. Many of those are made from old electronic devices, primarily radios. "You're actually using the electronics inside of the radio," Sears, who said he doesn't have a background in electronics, said. "It's just something that I've kind of learned using the internet and trial and error." Each piece can take anywhere from a couple of days up to a couple weeks, depending on how intricate the end

product will be. No matter how similar the design, however, each has its own unique sound, he said. Sears has termed his usage a melange of old and new items to produce instruments as upcycling. He said his creations are functional art. "I've sold some pieces to people where they just hang them on the wall for looks," he said. "I like the idea of people playing them, but you can do whatever you want with them." He has only recently gotten into the business of selling his line of instruments, adding it's a new market for most consumers. "It's unique for a lot of people, they haven't really heard of them. But, it's starting to pick up a little bit," Sears said. "People are taking cards and they call me later." Orders for customized instruments are becoming more in demand among Sears' customers. He said license plates (See,JOE'S, A2)

A Jerseyville resident is worried the natural beauty along Jerseyville's most traveled street could be in jeopardy. Speaking at Tuesday night's city council meeting, Charles Updike said the tree trimming work commissioned by Ameren Illinois is mutilating the landscape and may even be creating a danger for residents. "I can see that if you don't take some kind of action, that the rest of the utility companies in town, if they proceed the same way that the light company has, there will be less than five trees on North State Street," Updike said. During the Sept. 17 Jerseyville City Council meeting, Ameren vegetation supervisor David Schenck informed the council the utility

company is doing the work as part of a four-year trimming cycle mandated by the Illinois Commerce Commission. Updike said he's dealt with Ameren's tree trimming in the past. Neither then, nor now, has he been satisfied with the trimming company's work. "I can live with what they did for me," he said. "But, last time it cost me $2,000 to cut the trees down and replant." The resident said the manner in which the trimmers are doing the work – from the bottom up – weakens the integrity of the tree and leaves it more prone to falling on a home in the case of a storm. Updike said he was told there have not been complaints other than his received by the city. But, he said his neighbors have been equally unhappy with the quality of trimming. He said one neighbor recently

paid more than $800 to reshape trees left in poor condition by the trimmers. "I'm very disappointed with the results of the trimming – if you call it that – from the Catholic Church on down," Updike said. "I think somebody's going to have to do something about it." City Attorney George Wittman said Ameren is permitted to keep limbs and branches away from their power lines. "I can't say to what extent they can trim those trees back, but they've got an easement and they've got a right to keep keep their easement clear," Wittman said. Mayor Richard Perdun said the city will contact Ameren's vegetation supervisor to address the issue. "We can carry all those concerns to him for you," the mayor said. Updike said work has yet to begin on the east side of State Street,

so there is an opportunity to save trees on that side from similarly poor trimming. Also at Tuesday's meeting, the city approved its audit for 2012 and 2013. Danny Phipps of Scheffel & Co. said the city is in good standing and his firm issued an unqualified opinion. "It's a good thing," Phipps said. "It's the best we can do." Phipps pointed out the largest percent of the city's total revenue comes from sales tax, $2.5 million. "So, you can see the affect of shopping local," Phipps said. The council also approved Resolution A, giving department heads within the city a 3.5 percent pay increase for 2013 and 2014. The raise becomes retroactive to July 1. In other business, the council approved the minutes of the previous meeting and payment of the bills.

"That one was complicated because it's curved and normally when you put strings on something you want a flat box or something flat on top so the strings sit evenly over the fretboard. That was a challenge, but it turned out really good." For more information on Smokey Joe's String Things, contact Sears at (618) 946-6455 or smokeyjoeguitars@ outlook.com.

(Continued from A1) Mayor Richard Perdun with a request for help while the suspension continued, and was told the city would do what it could to aid the county during that time. Walsh said his daughter has contacted Jeff Soer, Jerseyville building inspector, for help, but her phone calls had not been returned. Soer said he has completed some inspections for the county during the employee's suspension, but the inspections are time-consuming, taking away from the work he needs to do for the city.

Perdun said. Wednesday morning Wittman said he had not fully researched the issue and could not comment. If Yvonne Hartmann's seat on the council is vacated, statute dictates that with less than 28 months remaining on the four-year term, the mayor must appoint a qualified person for the remainder of the term.

Before the end of the public comment section, Houseman made a statement about confidentiality of discussions during closed session. An individual, according to Houseman, overheard County Clerk Steve Pohlman speak about the circumstances around the employee's suspension, Houseman said. The county board member said the individual quoted Pohlman as saying the employee was being "railroaded out by a group of Tea Party people on the board." When asked if he would like to make a comment, Pohlman said "No."

With waning funds and no way to complete renovations or repairs on the structure, the Otter Creek Historical Society is seeking help to restore the Hamilton Primary School in Otterville. "For 30 years, we've been trying to raise money to renovate the building," Mary Ann Wadlow, Otter Creek Historical Society member, said. "We're learning quite a few people just in Jersey County alone aren't even aware of the building and all of its history." Though the exterior of the building – which is available for educational tours – is well preserved, Wadlow said, the interior has struggled from structural issues. Since the building is part of the National Registry of Historic Places, the building must be kept in a certain condition, including the paint on the roof. Wadlow said it must be repainted every 10 years, following the registry's specifications. The expense is around $8,000. She said the historical society has already spent more than $120,000 renovating what it could by installing a new roof, and a bathroom and septic system along with introducing electricity to the structure and tuck-pointing its exterior, but funding to complete additional repairs is becoming scarce. "We're not getting the money we really need," Wadlow said. "The roof should have been painted two years ago, but we just don't have the funds to do that." She said the Otter Creek Historical Society hosts a festival each year when visitors can tour the interior of the old school building and learn about its history. She said the site is also open for tours upon request, though those tours are few and far between. The historical society earns most of its money through its annual festival and by attending other historic festivals in the area. The money generated from these fundraisers is only enough to pay for utilities, insurance costs and other regular bills, she said. Wadlow said the historic school is an important part of American and Illinois history. It was the first integrated school in the nation, as it was built with funding from Dr. Silas Hamilton

to educate his slave by the name of George Washington, whom he bought for $100. Wadlow said Hamilton freed his slaves – 28 of them – in Cincinnati, and the relationship between Washington and Hamilton was more akin to that between a father and son. Though Hamilton died before construction of the building was finished – he endowed $4,000 to its construction upon his death – Washington received an education from the Otterville school. "[Hamilton] had a school built so that George could get an education along with the other children in the community," Wadlow said, adding the top floor of the school was used as a place of worship, as well. In addition to being the first integrated school in the country, Hamilton Primary School was also the first free public school in the state of Illinois. After Washington died, he left money to erect a monument in Hamilton's honor at the location. Hamilton and Washington are buried side-by-side in a crypt across from the Otterville Baptist Church. Wadlow said it is the only known location where master and slave were buried next to each other. Originally built in 1836, the school stood on its rock foundation for many years before it was torn down because of failing structural integrity. The building that stands at the location 200 feet west of the intersection of Otterville and McClusky roads was built in 1873 using the original building's limestone foundation. "The tuck-pointing was bad, so they took it down before it fell down," Wadlow said. In February 2012, an old bell – believed to be from Hamilton Primary School – inscribed with the year 1872 - was found in the Jersey Community Unit School District 100 bus shed. It was returned to the historic location after approval of the school board in March of the same year. The school was part of District 100 where the bell remained until it was closed in 1971. The bell is on display at the building's location. For more information about the historic school, visit the historical society's website dedicated to the building at hamiltonprimaryschool.com.

Kane Baptist to celebrate 190th anniversary Grafton Ferry closing for winter season By CARMEN ENSINGER Jersey County Journal

Members of Kane Baptist Church invite everyone to join them in celebration of their 190th anniversary this weekend. Festivities begin Saturday evening, Nov. 2, with a concert at 6 p.m. featuring “The Chosen Ones” followed by a reception. The celebration continues Sunday morning, Nov. 3, with coffee, juice and donuts at 8:45 a.m. followed by a 9:30 a.m. presentation of the history of the church by the youth with services to follow. Carole Terpening has been a member of the church since coming to Kane in 1949 and serves on the 190th anniversary committee. She has seen quite a few changes over the years, some good and some not so good. “The church itself is just about the same as it always was,” Terpening said. “What has changed is the people; people are more modern now than what they used to be and what I am seeing is it is not as necessary for a family to attend church together as it used to be.” An average Sunday will see between 50 and 75 people filling the pews, a big decline from decades past.

“When I first moved here, it was nothing to have between 150 to 200 people here every Sunday,” Terpening said. “It used to be a thing to go to church on Sunday – it was a family affair. Now, the world kind of competes with the church, or at least that is what I see. But we still have a great group of people in our church.” Pastor Charles Keene took over the pulpit in 2004 and brought a following with him. “After Pastor Keene came, our church grew in leaps and bounds,” Terpening said. “He is well known and we had people coming from all over and lots of new members. We are not just a Kane church anymore – we have people coming from everywhere in the surrounding communities.” Kane Baptist Church was organized Nov. 3, 1823, at the house of Judge Jehu Brown in what is now Jersey County. It was organized by Elders John Clark and Joseph Lemen and called the Macoupin Baptist Church of Christ. Later it was known as the Baptized Church of Christ, Friends of Humanity and it had seven members. The first church building was erected in 1837 in the town of Home, which was later known as Old Kane. The amount set aside to build the

building was $1,554. There were two doors to the building, one on the east and one on the west, which separated the men and women. The women entered and sat on the west side of the church and the men entered and sat on the east side. Around 1854-55 a survey for the new railroad was made and it was laid through Holidaysburg, which is now known as Kane. The people of Homer moved with the railroad and before long the church met there, too. Eventually, the town of Holidaysburg was renamed Kane and Homer became Old Kane. The first religious services in the village of Kane were held in 1867 at Felter Hall by the Baptists and Methodists. This union fellowship continued and shortly a subscription paper was circulated to secure money to build a church. The people responded generously and the same year a church was put up for the Methodists. It was called Union Church and worship was held by various denominations. Around three years later the Baptists decided they needed to have a church of their own. The abandoned Baptist Church at Old Kane was long past its days as a church building, so a new building was built. The old church was later moved into

Kane and the building was placed on the east side of Main Street and used as a drug store. The new Baptist Church building was located on its present site and the original building is still in use. The cost to erect this building was $3,600. In 1975, when workmen were adding siding, a piece of wood was found in a sheltered nook near the top of the building. On the piece of wood, a note had been written which reads, “Joshua Ketchum carpenter on the job from Minonk, Ill., 1871, July 22.” This is on display at the church. The church has been remodeled several times. A basement was added and more classrooms. The upstairs was refinished and in 1965 an education building was added to the back of the church. In March 1882, a lot west of the church was purchased and by 1889 a parsonage had been built. Kane Baptist Church is unique, through their founding fathers, slavery was seen as wrong and the church was one of the first religious groups to uphold the rights of all humans. They are also the second oldest Baptist Church in Illinois and the oldest American Baptist Church in Illinois and the Great Rivers Region.

State purchases $3.4 million ferry for Kampsville By BOB CROSSEN Jersey County Journal Commuters traveling across the Illinois River to and from Kampsville will soon be traversing the river on a brand new barge and push boat in Kampsville. In a press release issued by Illinois Gov. Pat Quinn’s office Oct. 24, the ferry in Kampsville – the Kampsville II, which has been in service since 1978 – will be replaced by a new $3.4 million vessel. The ferry between Calhoun County and Greene County connecting Route 108 and Route 96 is one of two ferries which operates on the Illinois River. The second one is also located in Calhoun County in Brussels. In fact, the new ferry which has an engine meeting EPA Tier 3 Standards for emissions – aimed at

reducing tailpipe and evaporative emissions – was purchased with the intent to bring it downriver to operate at the Brussels ferry location if necessary, Dave Blanchette, press secretary with Gov. Quinn’s office, said. “The whole idea is to make them interchangeable and flexible so they can service both ferries,” Blanchette said. According to numbers issued by the Illinois Department of Transportation, the boat in Kampsville ferried more than 280,000 vehicles across the river in 2012, despite closing for three weeks due to ice. IDOT estimates around 1,000 vehicles use the ferry daily. The new boat will carry three fewer cars than the retiring Kampsville ferry, which will be salvaged to “defray some of the costs of the new vessels,”

Jae Miller, a spokeswoman for IDOT, said in an email Monday. Kampsville II held 18 vehicles. Kampsville II, a 50-foot twin screw diesel-powered push boat, suffered from regular wear and tear carrying vehicles across the Illinois River, but because of its age and the decreasing availability of replacement parts, a new ferry was a necessity. Routine and preventative maintenance proved costly, as well. Another push boat and barge, Miss Illinois and Barge 12, were placed at the Kampsville location in 1998 to be used in conjunction with the Kampsville II. However, the newest vessel comes in two parts – push boat and barge – which have to be built to IDOT specifications. IDOT accepted a bid from the lone bidder, Massman Construction Company, which quoted the ves-

sels at $3,365,735. Federal Ferry Boat Discretionary Funds will pay for 80 percent of the total cost of the ferry while the state will match with the remaining 20 percent of the cost. The Kampsville Ferry has been in operation since the 1830s when fares were $.12 per person, and horses on treadmills were used to power the ferry wheel pushing the vessel across the river. To stop the ferry from drifting down stream, the boat was tethered to a cable which stretched across the river. It wasn’t until the 1940s with a boat called the Carrollton that the traditional barge and push boat ferry was implemented, and a year later, the state acquired the ferry from the private company. Since that time, ferry trips have been at no cost to those crossing the river.

By BOB CROSSEN Jersey County Journal After opening in July, the Grafton Ferry has been a boon for business in Grafton, bringing travelers to visit the riverside town for its restaurants and wineries. Due to a decrease in traffic during the winter months as the tourism season in Grafton winds down, the Calhoun Ferry Company, operators of the Grafton and Golden Eagle ferries, will cease operations of the Grafton Ferry until May. The ferry’s last day for the season is Sunday, Nov. 3 when it will be open from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m., which are the same hours of operation on Saturdays. The ferry runs from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday, as well. Grafton Mayor Tom Thompson said the ferry had a positive influence on commerce in the riverside town, which was struck by two historic floods earlier this year. “It’s done wonders for the Grafton business community,” Thompson said. “Once the ferry opened, they all noticed an increase in their business. It’s been good for us.” The ferry did not open until the last weekend of July – the river had to be dredged prior to the opening and the work was delayed by the April

and June floods. The mayor expects the impact of the ferry will be greater next year with additional months of operation. Flooding slowed down much of the business and tourism for Grafton, but some businesses noted the opening of the ferry made up for the losses sustained from the floods. Some businesses, Thompson said, have seen enough to make profit beyond the losses. The ferry was closed for three years until the Calhoun Ferry Company took up the operations and supplied the ferry for the trips across the river. A different private company ran it prior to its closure in 2010, and the city of Grafton purchased the landings, understanding the ferry’s importance to the city’s economy. Denise Knight, Calhoun Ferry Company secretary, said the company will close operations after Nov. 3 and the ferries will be docked along the southern shore of Calhoun County between the company’s Golden Eagle and Winfield ferry landings. They will be moved up river during the icier months, she added. The Golden Eagle Ferry will continue operations during the winter due to the large volume of commuter traffic between Calhoun County and Missouri.

Another case of crimes against children raises red flags

Publisher and Editor: Julie Boren

The Issue: Two men charged in simmilar cases. Our View: Every safeguard must be put in place to protect children

publisher@campbellpublications.net

Regional Editor: Robert Lyons

wice in 2013, in the city of Jerseyville, men have been arrested for going to great lengths and offering up cash to get a child under the age of 10 to engage in sexual activities. In May, David Driskill of Carrollton was apprehended in Jerseyville for enticement of a child to engage in prostitution. Then last week, Timothy Griesemer of Jerseyville was arrested and charged with child sex trafficking and inducement of a child to engage in prostitution. Fortunately for the potential victims, and society as a whole, there were responsible adults who spoke up and helped prevent a horrific crime against a child. Who knows what these perpetrators would have done had their actions not been reported? These informants not only helped take some creeps off the streets, they ensured the perpetrators couldn’t just find a different victim. The two cases were eerily similar in how the men attempted to procure a victim, the type of victim sought and, ultimately how they were apprehended by local, state and federal authorities. Hopefully these were two isolated incidents, and this type of activity can remain shocking when it occurs, instead of becoming commonplace. Chances are, however, there will be more crimes against children, even if they’re not as horrifying as the allegations against Griesemer and Driskill. It is extremely vital for children that there be adults willing to take action and report inappropriate behavior they have witnessed, or even suspected. Children can be easily intimidated and led to believe the repercussions for coming forward will be worse than abuse itself. Everyone has a role in keeping children safe, not just parents. Neighbors, friends, relatives, even observant strangers can take steps to protect those who cannot protect themselves.

Advice carved from a Halloween prank I love this time of year. I’ve always been a fan of scary movies, not necessarily slasher movies, but the kind that makes you think, “I didn’t see that coming!” I’m also a big fan of the paranormal reality shows; some are a little too hokey for me, but others make you consider the possibility that some of the supernatural stuff might actually be real. My boyfriend, on the other hand, refuses to watch either. He will leave the room before he’ll watch anything that may cause him to have a sleepless night. He scares easily, and anyone who has spent any extended period of time in my house will tell you, there’s something going on there. Too many unexplained little things. Too many coincidences to be considered coincidental. He’s a little skittish. That’s all the background you’ll need to set the stage for my Halloween prank. Last weekend when I got out of the shower, I noticed three long

scratches across my chest. For a nanosecond I was alarmed. Then my mischievous side kicked into high gear. I took all I had learned from my love of the macabre and turned it into a prank on Kevin. I put on my robe and went back to my bedroom. I told Kevin that after I got out of the shower, I felt something push me in the middle of my chest; it pushed me hard enough to make me stumble back a step. Then I showed him the scratches on my chest. The color drained from his face. He showed the appropriate amount of concern and then his phone rang and that was the end of the conversation. I didn’t have the chance to let him off the hook. He hasn’t mentioned it. I’ve been thinking ever since about what I can do next to scare him a little. Should I wait until he falls asleep and open all the cabinets and drawers in the kitchen, only for him to find it that way the next morning? Should I stack the chairs on the din-

ing room table in the middle of the night? Maybe I could arrange spilled cereal into a pattern on the kitchen floor. Any of the above would freak My Turn him out, and By Sue Heitzig I could pull it off with a straight face. I’m having too much fun to not keep this going. And therein lies my advice: When your girlfriend works for the local newspaper and occasionally writes a column, maybe you should actually read what she writes. You might sleep better at night. Happy Halloween! Sue Heitzig is the assistant regional editor of the Jersey County Journal.

Halloween memories When I was a kid, I loved Halloween. Back then, I could go from house to house and receive candy—as much as my plastic pumpkin could hold! I loved dressing up. I lived in an era of plastic masks. Before we moved, I still owned quite a few of those old masks, though they were quite old and worn. I was Raggedy Anne, a pirate, a cat, and a witch. Most often, I was a witch in my black hat and too long, black cape. I even had a toy black cat that I carried around in my plastic pumpkin with the cheery, Halloween smile. But I think I loved Halloween the best, because my grandmother, Mary Moore, loved it so much, as well. I have a picture of my grandmother, my brother, and I dressed in our Halloween best. My grandmother was a teacher. Every Halloween, my dad would drive my brother and I to Grandma’s house for pictures, candy, and to trick-or-treat. My grandmother, not to be outdone, would wear her white, polka-dot pajamas, her big clown shoes, her multi-colored wig, and her plastic clown mask. She looked a sight, but the kids in her kindergarten class loved it. On that particular year—

A bout letters to

the editor

the year the photo was taken—I was Raggedy Anne, and my brother was Mickey Mouse. Dad took the picture with 35 millimeter film. Remember those days? Grandma would give us our candy and send us off. Trickor-treat lasted two days back then and was two full hours. She didn’t expect to see us back again until the two hours were up. When the porch lights went off, that was our cue to stop! This was usually around nine o’clock at night, and is probably later than most people allow their elementary age children to be out on a school night. Dad was with us, so of course we weren’t bothered by the fact that it was well past our bedtimes. My brother and I always walked in the Halloween parade uptown, and, of course, Grandma Moore walked with us. She dressed up—white, polka dot pajamas, big shoes, hair, and clown mask—and I rode in the wagon behind her. I think I carried a balloon, but I’m not sure. The year I was a clown, we walked directly behind a group of girls dressed up as Laura, Carrie, and Mary Ingalls from “Little House on the Prairie.” I remember that Dad was waiting for us, camera in tow, and snapped

our picture as Guest we walked Column by. Those Halloween BY HEIDI parade pictures MOORE sure made for some memorable moments! I don’t think we ever won any awards—at least none that I remember—but joining in and walking with Grandma was its own reward. Now that I’m older, I still find ways to have fun on Halloween. My friends and I get together and carve pumpkins and make popcorn balls and watch “Garfield’s Halloween” or “The Munsters’ Revenge.” We dress up. I was a galaxy one year, and my friend, Tracie, was a Christmas package. We bake pumpkin seeds and eat them while we visit. We listen to “The Monster Mash” and make posters and other Halloween related crafts. We eat candy. In short, we have a lot of fun just being together. That’s what Halloween is all about!

JCHD observes National Home Care Month JCHD The Jersey County Health Department will observe National Home Health Month during November. “This celebration is sponsored by the National Association for Home Care and honors all home health workers who provide high quality and compassionate health care services to patients in their home,” says Karen Schroeder, R.N., B.S., Jersey County Health Department’s Home Health Supervisor. The National Association for Home Care estimates that approximately 12 million Americans currently receive care from 33,000 home health and hospice agencies who treat patients for their acute or long term health conditions. These agencies employ over two million nurses, therapists, and aides. Home care services are for persons who are recuperating from a hospital or nursing home stay or have a change in their medical condition. The goal is to assist these patients in reaching their optimal functional ability in their homes. Generally home care is appropriate when skilled care is necessary to help patients recover. Four in ten U.S. adults are now caring for a sick or elderly family member at home. Researchers have found that the number of caregivers increased ten percent between 2010 and 2013. Home health, with physician orders, helps these caregivers provide the best possible care through education and initiating appropriate treatment plans. This month of celebration reminds us that home care is a service that is not only outcome quality based, but is cost effective and impacts the patient and their family members in a positive way. “Positive and improved outcomes for our patients are the goals of our home health team,” Schroeder says. Patients and their families are encouraged to take an active role in their plan of care and are encouraged to express the goals they would like to reach. Schroeder explains that the entire home health team along with the patient’s physicians work together to reach these optimal outcomes. Schroeder would like to invite everyone to view the positive outcomes the health department has accomplished on the public Medicare Home Health Compare website at www.medicare.gov/ homehealthcompare/search.aspx. “An important aspect of reaching positive outcomes is to ensure the patient has a smooth transition from hospital or nursing home to their home,” Schroeder says. “Coordinating care with hospitals, nursing homes, and other skilled facilities is very important in allowing the patient to transition easily

between these health care settings and it also helps reduce any anxiety the patient may have.” The Jersey County Health Department has a wide range of specialized services available to meet the needs of each individual patient. Registered nurses provide skilled services that cannot be performed safely by non-professional personnel. These services may include intravenous therapy, wound care, physical assessments, and education on disease prevention and treatment. Skilled nursing care also reinforces care given by family and friends through teaching and education. Physical therapists work to restore strength and mobility in persons who are limited or disabled by injuries or disease. Speech therapists work to develop and restore speech in persons who have communication disorders as a result of injury or disease such as a stroke. Occupational therapists help persons who have physical, developmental, social or emotional problems that prevent them from performing activities of daily living. Home health aides assist persons with personal care such as bathing, grooming, and dressing. Homemakers help residents who require assistance with activities of daily living, housekeeping chores, or personal care. The goal of home care is to progress a person’s condition to a level where they can maintain their independence at home and function at their optimal level. Schroeder states, “Home care, being less expensive than other health care, will most likely play an important role in the health care system in the future. In these difficult times of deficits and budget cuts it just makes sense that home health be a cost-saving health care option.” Americans are growing older and living longer and

the elderly population is increasing due to the baby boomer population. Home care is likely to be a part of the solution for caring for the increasing numbers of elderly using an affordable means of health care. Jersey County Health Department accepts payment from a variety of payers including Medicare, Medicaid, some insurances, Veteran’s Administration, and private pay. During the month of November, the Jersey County Health Department will be paying tribute to their home health staff. The Health Department is inviting the public to stop by the Health Department to discuss the services available or visit their website at www.jerseycountyhealth.org. Schroeder also encourages caregivers to contact her for resources available to assist them in caring for their loved one. The Department provides physical, occupational and speech therapy, skilled nursing, and home health aide services along with private pay homemaker services. Schroeder would like to remind Jersey County residents that they always have the right to choose what home health agency will serve them regardless of what hospital or facility they are leaving to return home. Take some time to learn more about the services that are keeping families together and persons independent in their homes. These services are vital for the health of Jersey County residents and the need will continue to expand with our growing elderly population. This year the Jersey County Health Department celebrated its 47th anniversary and home health was the first of services the health department provided in 1966. The Jersey County Health Department is Medicare certified and licensed as a Home Health, Home Nursing and Home Services

Rick Pfeiffer has achieved the rank of Eagle Scout. It is the Boy Scouts of America’s highest rank. Part of the requirements to reach this rank is a service project to benefit a non-profit organization. Pfeiffer’s Scoutmaster, Herschel Hall, suggested an Eagle Service Project to identify military veteran’s graves at Oak Grove Cemetery in Jerseyville for American Legion Post 492. Pfeiffer decided it would be a good project and it struck a chord with him because his father is a Marine veteran who served in Vietnam. “Every veteran deserves to be recognized for their service with a flag on Memorial Day,” Pfeiffer said. There are nearly 10,000 graves in the 40-acre cemetery and he mapped 848 veterans’ locations. During the course of his project he found veterans who served in the Civil War, Mexican War, Spanish-American War, World War I, World War II, Korea, Vietnam, Gulf War to today. The American Legion provides the flags every year to be placed on

military graves. Pfeiffer joined the Jerseyville Boy Scout Troop 492 in September 2010 and worked his way through the ranks in just under three years. He has enjoyed the scouting experience, from the camping and outdoor activities to the community service (Scouting For Food, ringing the bell for Salvation Army, etc.). In order to attain the rank of Eagle a scout has to earn 21 merit badges and Pfeiffer has earned 31 merit badges. He also had the opportunity to attend the 2013 National Scout Jamboree in West Virginia. Over 40,000 Scouts from across the nation and world attended this year. Pfeiffer is also a member of the Order of the Arrow, Scouting’s National Honor Society. Scouts have to be nominated for this honor by their fellow Scouts and is given to those who best exemplify the Scout Oath and Law in their daily lives. There will be an Eagle Court of Honor held for Pfeiffer Nov. 3 and he will receive his Eagle Award.

Oct. 15, 2013, St. Louis, Mo. Elder sibling is Emma, 3. Grandparents are Jerry Heitzig of Jerseyville, Bonnie Sievers of Hardin and Everett and

Charlotte Ringhausen of Greenfield. Great-grandparents are Eleanor Heitzig, Edna Ringhausen and Imogene Goode, all of Jerseyville.

Calvert ~ Schell engagement Candice Lynn Calvert and Andrew Douglas Schell announce their engagement and forthcoming wedding. The bride-to-be is the daughter of Debbie and Frank Scoggins of Grafton and James and Carmelyn Calvert of Eldred. She graduated in 2010 with a degree in Diagnostic Medical Sonography and is currently employed with St. Anthony’s and Jersey Community Hospital. The future groom is the son of Doug and Judy Schell of Jerseyville. He received a bachelor’s degree in Business Administration in 2009 and is currently employed with Kallal Concrete. The couple will be united in marriage Nov. 23 at the Assembly of God Church.

Panthers fourth, advance to sectional Lady Birds edged

Sam Elliott/Jersey County Journal

The Jersey Community High School boys cross country team takes off from the starting line to begin the Mississippi Valley Conference championship race Thursday, Oct. 17, at Principia College. The Panthers finished fourth at the Jacksonville Class 2A Regional Saturday, qualifying the Decatur Class 2A Sectional. selliott@campbellpublications.net

Cross country athletes from Jersey Community High School will keep running this season after their showings at the Jacksonville Class 2A Regional earned them spots at the Decatur Class 2A Sectional. The Panthers placed fourth as a team in the boys standings Saturday at Jacksonville Community Park, with the top-six squads advancing out of the regional field. Jersey tallied 123 points, finishing behind only Springfield High (38 points), Chatham Glenwood (46) and Springfield Sacred Heart-Griffin (53). JCHS freshman Ben Flowers led the Panthers with a 14th-place finish in 16 minutes, 7.8 seconds. Sophomore Mike Roach and senior Matt Wendell placed 24th and 25th, respectively. Roach ran the course in 16:31.58, with

Wendell close behind in 16:33.21. Senior Tim Lacy and sophomore Nick Reynolds rounded out the Panthers' scoring. Lacy was 29th in 16:47.48 and Reynolds finished 31st in 16:55.86. The Jersey girls placed eighth as a team Saturday, but Lady Panthers senior Kaylin Smith advanced out of the regional by placing 19th in 19:28.83. Freshman Kaleigh Grace (40th, 22:14.45) was next for the Lady Panthers, followed by sophomore Tabbitha Bradley (46th, 23:05.54), junior Robyn Johnson (47th, 23:24.73) and senior Kati Weishaupt (48th, 23:56.5). Smith and the Jersey boys will continue their season at the Decatur Class 2A Sectional at noon Saturday at Hickory Point Golf Course.

Lady Panthers playing for regional championship

Lady Piasa Birds sophomore Karlie Green goes up for a kill attempt against Staunton Tuesday at Southwestern High School. The Lady Birds were edged in a 24-26, 28-26, 25-11 decision by Staunton in a Piasa Class 2A Regional semifinal. michaelrweaver.com

For the third time in as many meetings this season, the Southwestern and Staunton high school volleyball teams played a tightly contested, threegame match. After splitting during the regular season, the squads needed to go into extra points to decide the first two games in their semifinal matchup at the Piasa Class 2A Regional Tuesday. Southwestern won the opening game 26-24, but was edged 28-26 in the second before Staunton took the

third and deciding game 25-11. The Lady Birds — just 4-22 overall and winless in the South Central Conference last season — finished their 2013 campaign with a 16-9 record and tied for second place in the SCC at 7-2. Staunton beat Southwestern 28-26, 23-25, 25-22 during regular season SCC play, but the Lady Birds claimed a 25-22, 20-25, 25-14 victory when the teams met in the third-place match at the Macoupin County Tournament.

Jersey ready for postseason push A wise man once said, "Playoffs?! Are you kidding me?! Playoffs?!" No joke, Jim Mora. The high school football regular season has flown by — The Sam Antics By Sam Elliott now it's time to talk playoffs. The Jersey Community High School football team (6-3) enters the postseason coming off a 48-33 loss Friday at Mattoon (7-2). "The bad news is we lost the game," Jersey head coach Dave Jacobs said. "The good news is we don't have to end like that." The Panthers don't plan on letting that loss in their regular season finale affect them moving forward. "This team has been resilient all year," Jacobs said. "There have been all kinds of tests and this team has passed them all. I know that these guys are excited about this week. We're not going to look in the rearview mirror. We're going to look ahead." What's ahead for the Panthers is their second trip to the Class 5A postseason in as many years. "We're excited to be playing in Week 10," Jacobs said. "There are about 300 teams that are turning in equipment now. We're excited for the

SAM ELLIOTT Jersey County Journal The winningest season in Jersey Community High School volley history has a chance to add a regional title — the first in nealy two decades — to its list of accomplishments. The Lady Panthers will face Roxana at 6 p.m. Thursday in the championship match of the Roxana Class 3A Regional seeking their first regional championship since 1994. "It's amazing that we have the chance to actually progress and keep going further with the season," senior Macy Thurston said. "It's awesome." Jersey earned a berth in the regional title match by beating Greenville in three games, 25-15, 16-25, 25-19, Tuesday at Roxana High School. It was the school-record 18th win of the season for the Lady Panthers (18-12). "It was really exciting and really intense," Thurston said. "It was a nerve-racking match." Junior Lia Roundcount led the Lady Panthers with 10 kills and

seven blocks. Thurston added eight kills, three blocks and seven service points with four aces that proved pivitol as Jersey came back from an eight-point deficit. "They never gave up," assistant coach Brenda McCreary said. "I was so proud because they never gave up. They kept fighting the whole night." Junior Kristen Marshall added five kills and senior Abby Rogers chipped in four kills and as many blocks against Greenville. Sophomore Aly Varble totaled four blocks to go with two kills and junior Ashton Kuehnel had a pair of kills and as many blocks. Junior setter Sydney Hagen distributed 19 assists and added a team-high 14 service points. After knocking off the regional's No. 3 seed in Greenville, No. 2 Jersey will face top seed Roxana (22-7) on its home court with a regional title on the line. The Lady Panthers beat Roxana 26-24, 24-26, 15-12 when the teams met at the Alton Tournament Sept. 13. selliott@campbellpublications.net

opportunity. I love playing somebody you're not familiar with. It kind of gets the competitive juices going." The No. 12 seed Panthers will hit the road for the first round of the playoffs, facing off against No. 5 Limestone High School (8-1) of the Mid-Illini Conference at 2 p.m. Saturday in Bartonville. The Rockets, making their first postseason appearance since 2004, averaged 21.2 points per game this season and allowed an average of 13.4. "They're a very physical team in a blue-collar, Peoria-area conference," Jacobs said. "They're very similar to Waterloo and Triad kind of teams that want to run you over. They've got an excellent fullback, a real good quarterback and their kids are physical. We're looking forward to the matchup. They're a tough and really good football team — but I think we've got a pretty good one here, too." Jersey's run defense will be tested, but the Panthers have enough offensive firepower — in quarterback Billy Ritchey, running back Austin Lolos and receivers Jacob Varble, Kyle Obertino, Christian Kimble and Luke Shively — to hang with anybody. The real fun, football's second season, begins Saturday. "It's going to be awesome," Jacobs said. Yes it it, Coach. Yes it is. selliott@campbellpublications.

JCHS soccer squad bows out of regional The Jersey Community High School soccer team was even with Jacksonville through the first half, but a trio of second-half goals made the difference for the Crimsons as they won a 5-2 decision in the semifinals of the Chatham Class 2A Regional Tuesday, Oct. 22, at Glenwood High School. The Panthers got first-half goals from Jordan Jones and Jacob Witt and entered halftime tied with Jacksonville 2-2. But the playing conditions, in the second half especially, didn't do Jersey any favors. "The wind and rain picked up

there in the second half and it was almost like playing against 13 guys," Panthers head coach Scott Burney said. "The conditions kind of leveled the playing field for them. We think on a dry day we'd have a better chance. That takes the long throws and our style of play out of it whenever it's so wet. We couldn't play as fast as we like to play." Jersey finished its 2013 campaign 18-4-1, winning its second Mississippi Valley Conference championship in as many seasons. "We had a great season and don't have anything to hang our heads about there," Burney said.
