COVID-19 cases spike in Jersey By JARAD JARMON Jersey County Journal As is the case across the state, COVID19 has seen a resurgence in Jersey County. At the start of the month, Jersey County reported 72 active cases, while just a couple days previous reported only 38 cases. Since then, there has been a significant climb in cases, and as of Nov. 9, there are 17 new positives, meaning there are 193 active cases of COVID-19 in the county, according to a Jersey County Health Department update. Among these newer cases were individuals at the Jerseyville Nursing and Rehab Center. In a statement issued Nov. 5 on the center’s Facebook page, Keri Shatley, adminA soldier’s daughter istrator at Jerseyville Nursing and Rehab, tells his tale. said residents and one staff member have See page A6 been diagnosed with COVID-19. “We are in close communication with local and state health officials to ensure we are taking all appropriate steps,” she said.

Q Avoid all communal dining and activities within the community. “We encourage you to call us at (618) 498-6496 for updates on the status of your loved one,” Shatley said. “If your loved one is suspected or diagnosed with COVID-19, you will be contacted. We also understand that connecting with family members is incredibly important to our residents. Family members are encouraged to connect with their loved ones through video chat, calling, texting or other social media formats.” Shatley also stressed the staff’s expertise and diligence in the statement. “Please also remember that our healthcare workers — not just nurses and CNAs but housekeeping, laundry, dietary, activities, social services, therapy, maintenance and administrative staff — are working hard on your behalf under stressful conditions,” she said. “Please take a minute to express your appreciation for their selfless service. We need your help in battling COVID-19.” In total, there have been 764 positive cases in the county since the virus appeared in March. According to the Jersey health department, going forward, the Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH) will report PCR testing and rapid antigen testing in the daily case count

combined. This will now count all historical data from the beginning. Because of this change, the Jersey County Health Department’s daily case count has changed drastically since Nov. 6. According to the health department’s most recent update, 504 have recovered and 21 have died. Jersey County is not alone in grappling with a boom of cases. Cases are spiking in neighboring counties as well — even Calhoun County that for the most part was free of high volumes of cases for the early days of the pandemic. As of Nov. 9, there were 36 active cases in the county — the largest number of active cases in that county since COVID-19 came in. In total, Calhoun has 105 recoveries and no deaths. The surge of new cases is being seen across the state, which has spurred new mitigation efforts from Gov. JB Pritzker and state health officials. Also, mobile testing sites are cropping up in the local region to allow people to react accordingly. In a news release, it was announced that the Illinois Department of Public Health has several mobile testing teams that are dispatched to various locations around the state each week to provide COVID-19 testing.

Anyone can be tested, regardless of symptoms or immigration status. There is no cost to the individual for testing, but they should bring their insurance card if they have one. However, insurance is not required. Specimens will be collected using a simple nasal swab. Drive-thru and walk-up testing are both available at most locations. This month, there will be mobile-testing locations in Greene and Madison counties. In Greene, there will be a site at the Illinois Department of Corrections, US 678 South, from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Nov. 10. From 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Nov. 14-15, there will be a site at Carrollton High School, 950 Third St. in Carrollton. In general, there is concern among some health officials nationally that cases could surge in the coming months if not partially because of the holiday season. Ahead of the season, state health officials have put out guidelines in relation to the holiday activities and celebrations. The Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH) is offering recommendations on how to celebrate more safely during the COVID-19 pandemic. During a time when social distancing and limiting the number of people at gatherings is important, special considerations should be taken. (See, COVID-19, A2)

INDEX

By JARAD JARMON Jersey County Journal ost of the fields of corn and soy are up, and it appeared to be a surprisingly good harvest for local farmers this year. About 90 percent of the crop — maybe even a little more — is harvested, and the yields appear to be pretty good, according to local farmers like Bob Johnson, who has farming acreage in Jersey and Greene. “This has been a strange season,” Johnson, also president of the Jersey County Farm Bureau, said. “Everybody I talked to has been welcomed by what they found at harvest.” The hot and dry conditions ahead of the fall season spurred skepticism among farmers going into harvest. “We weren’t expecting a whole lot for the harvest,” Johnson said. But predominantly nice clear days during the harvest season allowed the farmers to get their soybeans and corn up quickly, and the yields appeared to be good. “By golly, it has been average to above average for everyone I have talked to,” Johnson said. “They are all excited because we just don’t know

where it is coming from.” Johnson knows where it came from, though. “It is the good Lord’s blessing; that is where it is coming from,” he said. Especially in the final pushes to harvest, Johnson said the weather has been cooperative. “The last few weeks with the weather, it seems like we have really been blessed with some decent days,” Johnson said. “The wind seemed like it never lets down, which it is not always a good thing, but yet helps dry out [the fields] after the rain.” There were those that did experience a little too much moisture in areas of the area, but Johnson said farmers were overall content with what they got up. “I think everybody was pleasantly pleased with what they were seeing coming out of the fields,” Johnson said. “As it was getting pretty well wound up, talking to different ones that had wetter conditions in their fields, the yields did drag. They were a little lower in those areas where they had moisture issues. Overall, I think everybody is going to be pretty happy.” Now for many farmers, it is on to the fall work which could include putting anhydrous down, explaining the many

trucks with tanks traveling throughout the community. And along with the harvest, the weather has also cooperated for farmers in the fall. “With the weather being as good as it has been, it has allowed a lot of fall work to continue and progress pretty quickly,” Johnson said. Last year, farmers were not as lucky with the weather.

“Last year, we got rained out and didn’t get a lot of fall work done like we wanted to, but this year, we are doing good and ahead of schedule,” Johnson said. “…As long as it doesn’t go getting wet on us and turning cold, there could still be quite of bit of fall work done yet.” While completing this regular fall work, farmers' minds will be set on the market and how that might fluctuate in the future.

Election Judge Steve Pegram flips through names at one of the polling places Tuesday.

By JARAD JARMON Jersey County Journal It was a busy day, but Election Day last Tuesday appeared to go off without a hitch, despite a high turnout of ballots coming in and added pressures because of COVID-19 and vote-by-mail concerns. “Everything went super smoothly,” Pam Warford, Jersey County Clerk and Election Authority said. “From all appearances, voters were able to get in and out of the polling places safely and with no issues… By 9 a.m., we had all precincts in, and everyone followed instructions and brought back what we needed to see. For the turnout that we had, the process went really well.” And what a turnout it was. According

“For the turnout that we had, the process went really well.”

This is a turnout of 77.07 percent for the county. “This has to be a record,” Warford said. “The turnout percentage was 77 percent, which is a little bit greater than the percentage in 2016.” (See, ELECTION, A2)

By CONNOR ASHLOCK Jersey County Journal The Jersey County Board met on Nov. 10, where discussion largely centered around activities related to local law enforcement. The board approved a request from State’s Attorney Ben Goetten to partner with the Jerseyville Police Department in purchasing video surveillance equipment that will be used by both city and county police. The report asked that the county pay half of the total cost. The county will be paying their half, which is $9,000, from the public safety sales tax fund. “This system has capabilities of reading license plates and has been utilized by the Drug Enforcement Administration for drug-related cases,” Chairman Don Little said. The purpose of this system is to aid law enforcement in solving such crimes as drug-related offenses and car thefts. The monitoring equipment is expected to be housed by the city police, but will be available for sheriff’s deputies as well. Also at the board meeting, Little announced that the county would be receiving reimbursement for COVID-19-related expenses through the CURES Act. The amount expected to be received is approximately $463,000. “This is a huge burden that has been lifted off of our shoulders,” Little said. Altogether, the county is eligible to receive $510,960 in reimbursement. The paperwork needed to receive this reimbursement was completed by County

Clerk Pam Warford. “Pam has done a tremendous service to the county in working to get this done,” Little said. “She is worthy of full commendation for doing all of this while carrying out her election-related duties during this pandemic.” CTS Group was also present at the meeting and was able to supply the board with some information in the form of pamphlets that will help the board decide how to proceed with the HVAC work in the courthouse complex. The current phase of discussions between CTS Group and the building and grounds committee of the county board involves prioritizing the several projects that need to be undertaken concerning government buildings in the coming years. “The building and grounds committee will make recommendations to the board, and the board will then do its due diligence and agree or disagree or arrive somewhere in the middle,” Little explained. “It’s all work that is important and needs to be addressed.” Concerning work on the HVAC system in the courthouse complex, Little expects the work to begin in 2021. “I think there will be work performed in the spring, but we have to figure out costs and how we’re going to pay for it,” Little said. At the close of the meeting, Little was joined by the board in expressing their gratitude to veterans Ed Koenig and Mark Wagner for their service to their country and to the citizens of Jersey County. Koenig served in the Air Force and Wagner served in the Marines.

Jerseyville welcomes new fire chief

By LUCAS GARDNER Jersey County Journal There’s a new chief in town— fire chief that is, and technically, to most Jersey County residents, he’s not all that new. Keith Norman, both a familiar face in town and the new fire chief, was promoted Nov. 1 by the former fire chief, Alan Gowin. The two are well acquainted, as Norman has worked with Gowin the entire time he has volunteered at the fire department. “We’ve got a very good department so I don’t have any big plans to change a whole lot,” he said. “I think maybe as we go there may be some things that we want to do differently, but Chief Gowin left the department in very good shape for us.” Still, while the department itself won’t be much of a change for Norman, the duties definitely will be. Norman believes that his new job as fire chief will be much different than

what he is used to partly because it’s the only full-time position in the fire department. The rest of the positions are volunteer. “I’m part-time right now, as I finish my career with the school district, I’ve been with the Jersey technology department for 25 years,” he said. “I’m part-time with the city and fulltime with the school district, and as of the first of the year, I’ll be full-time with the city and part-time, sort of oncall... with the district until the end of the school year.” As Norman takes over the position of full-time fire chief Jan. 1 2021, his duties will not only be fighting fires, but also fighting the daily tasks of reports, training courses and administrative functions of the fire department. “I’m excited about the challenge. I have a whole lot to learn and I have worked very hard to learn the fire fighting aspect of what I’ve been

doing for the last 15 years, and over the last several years as the assistant chief,” Norman said. Many would call Norman a community-minded man, as he has been involved with the community since moving here in the '90s. In the mid'90s, he moved from Auburn, Ill., to Jerseyville and became a volunteer firefighter. 15 years later, he became the assistant chief and started his training under former chief Gowin. As Norman grows and learns the ways of the official title of “fire chief,” he hopes to integrate his technological background of 25 years with Jersey 100 School District to make a more efficient fire department, especially when it comes to fire inspections, training records, certifications and other administrative tasks. “I hope to bring some of my technology background to the fire department and automate some of the reporting and systems we have

in place... I’m hoping it can make us more efficient as far as some of those functions go,” he explained. “Like I said, I’m inexperienced enough with some of those things that I’m going to figure them out as I go.” According to Norman, one of the biggest changes he’s seen over the course of his career is the scope of what volunteers must complete for training. “Fires are very different than what they used to be. Equipment is very different than what it used to be. Volunteers are asked to give hundreds of hours to training and certifications. The general public is very lucky to have the department that we have in Jerseyville,” he said. With a team of volunteers that Norman says includes farmers, contractors, HVAC specialists, chemical reps and a host of other diverselyemployed hard-working citizens, Norman says the department is

uniquely situated to respond to virtually any emergency situation. “We have a vast amount of knowledge on our department that we can tap into, not just in terms of our emergencies, our responses, but also for the training and the information that we do. We’re sharp,” he said. Q Meagan McGlasson contributed to this article.

portation. Traveling by plane, train or bus can mean standing in lines and sitting less than 6 feet from people for long periods of time. Traveling by car may include stops along the way for gas, food and bathroom breaks. Decrease your risk by consistently wearing face coverings during travel, according to a state news release. The news release states if one hosts a holiday gathering, limit the number of guests and try to have as many activities outside as weather permits. If one’s gathering needs to be inside, try to increase airflow by partially opening a couple of windows. Please

prepare oneself and guests to wear masks indoors when not eating and drinking. Public officials stress to limit activities in the two weeks before your gathering and ask your guests to do the same. This will decrease the risk of exposure to the virus and further spread. Try to do gift shopping online by looking at local store websites and choosing pick-up options. Grocery shopping online with delivery and curbside pick-up is also available in many locations. If a person needs to shop in-person, they are urged to try

to go at a time when stores are not as busy. Think about the seating arrangements if you are planning a meal. Keep members of the same household together and try to put space between one family and another. When serving food, avoid a buffetstyle or potluck setting and consider having one person serve all the food so that multiple people are not handling the serving utensils. Also, try to limit the number of people going in and out of areas where food is being prepared – like the kitchen and dining room. If one is sick, do not travel and

do not attend gatherings and celebrations. Even if the symptoms are mild, that person may still be able to infect others, and no one wants the gift of sickness this season, the news release states. People are also urged to help stave off illness by getting their flu vaccine now. It takes the body several weeks after receiving the vaccine to build up antibodies that will help protect you from flu, so get it now to help protect yourself and others during the holidays. For more holiday safety tips, people can go to the IDPH website.

COVID-19 (Continued from A1) “COVID-19 has changed the way we work, live and play, and will now change how we plan to celebrate the holidays,” IDPH Director Dr. Ngozi Ezike said. “While the safest way to celebrate is with members of your household and connecting with others virtually, we know, for many, the holidays are all about family and friends, so we want to provide some tips on how to celebrate safer.” Traveling increases the chance of spreading COVID-19. When planning travel, officials urge people to consider the mode of trans-

Election (Continued from A1) In the 2016 election, which notably included the presidential race between President Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton, a total of 68.97 percent of voters (11,114 ballots cast) turned out. This year, there were a lot more ballots to work through, but Warford was thankful not all of it was on Election Day — actually far from it. “Nearly half of our voters were pre-election either by mail or early [voting]. It was around 5,600 of the 12,000 voters that voted ahead of Election Day. So, that did take some pressure off of the polling places on Election Day, which helped,” she said. Looking at the breakdown of ballots cast, 3,411 opted for early grace-period voting and 2,207 voted by mail. This was a far cry from the type of voting done in the presidential election just four years ago. In total, in 2016 there were 2,550 pre-election ballots cast, but of that number, a little fewer than 500 vote-by-mail ballots were cast. “It was a huge effort in here during the early voting time and handling the vote by mail,” Warford said. “My staff and the extra folks that we hired to help out all did an outstanding job. I hope, from the voter’s perspective, that we did as well…Even during early voting time, we seldom had a huge line.” The polls were not empty by any means, though. In total, 6,395 voted on Election Day, but no big issues arose. “I have no reports of any issues, any arguments,” Warford said. “Everything appeared to go very smoothly.” Stress levels were high for everyone involved this year

with a concern of illegal votes or ballots not being cast. “There was kind of a heightened tension this time around the whole thing,” Warford said. “So that was something that we had to deal with, but I would say there was also a heightened awareness of the process, and a lot of people were asking questions.” Jersey election officials avoided issues with machine malfunctions this year as well, whether it be a paper jam or something worse. “For a county our size and the number of machines we have out, it seems like there is always … some kind of little glitch that needs to be addressed,” Warford said. That was not the case this year, though. Also, the election authority in the county was ready for the crowds, maintaining social distancing and ensuring other COVID-19 guidelines were followed. Like other counties, Jersey had a curbside voting option, which was used mainly by those in quarantine for the aforementioned virus. At the polling places, hand sanitizer was readily available and greater space was allotted between judges and voters and at the voting booths. As far as masks go, residents largely adhered to the guideline. “By in large, all of the voters wore masks,” Warford said. It was a seamless day all in all, and Warford attributed a lot of the success in the county to the efforts of her staff and the abundance of people willing to help out. “I am super thankful for all of our workers,” the county clerk said. “They really did an outstanding job. In Jersey County, we had no shortage of

election judges. We had all of the required workers and then some. Everybody was very willing to help.” There is still work to be done, though. Technically the election is not official until 14 days after Election Day. The final count will be completed Nov. 17. As of Friday, eight mail-in ballots needed to be processed by an election judge and may have been counted, depending on if everything was done correctly. In total, there are still 142 vote-by-mail ballots out as of Friday. However, there aren’t enough vote-by-mail ballots out to change any of the outcomes that Jersey residents saw on election night. The numbers will fluctuate a little bit before it is all over with, but it won’t be enough. “Even if we received every one of them back postmarked within the timeframe and they were all accepted, it wouldn’t be enough to change the results,” Warford said. “Every day that goes by, the less likely it is that you are going to get a ballot that was postmarked in time.” Locally, there were decisive victories for the resident circuit judge, circuit clerk and county board seats. A new face in Jersey judge seat Democrat Allison Lorton won 54 percent of the vote (6,341 votes) for the Seventh Circuit Court Judge seat in Jersey County, soon to be left by Judge Eric Pistorius, who is retiring. Donald Schaaf, Jr., the Republican candidate in the race got 46 percent of the vote (5,527 votes). For Lorton, when the numbers started coming in, it was

certainly emotional. “Election evening was filled with emotional ups and downs,” she said. “I felt an incredible (sense) of relief and gratitude once all the votes were reported. I was thankful to be surrounded by my children, husband, family and friends at my home.” For the next few weeks, she will be transitioning from an attorney in private practice to the bench. “I am eager to start this next phase of my career.” Lorton said she thinks voters simply saw her as the right person for the job. “From the very beginning of my campaign, I worked every day to show the voters of Jersey County, regardless of political party affiliation, that I was the right choice for the job,” she said. “I believe that my message that the judiciary is and should always be a nonpartisan branch of government resonated with the voters.” Lorton noted she was appreciative of the positive nature of the race by her opponent. “Donald Schaaf is a man of character, and I appreciate the positive manner in which he ran his campaign,” she said. As far as those who voted for her, she had this to say: “I would like to thank the voters for choosing me to be the next Resident Circuit Judge of Jersey County,” she said. “I am honored the voters placed their faith in me to protect the integrity of our court. I would like to sincerely thank everyone who supported my candidacy. Whether you shared a Facebook post, walked doorto-door, attended a meet and greet, or encouraged others to support me; thank you. “Most importantly, I want

to thank my family. Walking this path, literally thousands of doors, with my husband and my children by my side has been a powerful experience on its own. I look forward to serving Jersey County as your next Resident Circuit Judge.” Changing of the Circuit Clerk guard Honed in on the race for Circuit Clerk in Jersey County, Republican Dan Schetter was watching online as his votes kept going up. Schetter beat out the incumbent and Democratic candidate, Charles Huebener. Schetter took home 52 percent of the vote (6,062 votes), and Huebener nabbed 48 percent (5,535 votes). “The Republican candidates had a potluck to watch the results,” Schetter said of election night. “We were all spread out throughout the building. About half-way through the night, my sons, the sheriff and I exchanged grins. We realized there was enough votes for the win. I was truly humbled

and thankful that people would support me. It was about that time others began to congratulate me. Then the work started, of listening to their ideas for the office.” This next month, he said he will further prepare himself in the tasks of Circuit Clerk to serve the citizens of Jersey County. “I look forward to working with the current office staff, the new judge, the sheriff and you, the citizens of Jersey County, we serve,” he said. He believes his "ordinary" lifestyle resonated with voters. “I am an ordinary citizen that works and raises a family here,” Schetter said. “Often, we think we don’t have a shot at serving in our county’s politics. My paramount goal is to serve my constituents by protecting the values we grew up with here in the county…I would like to thank everyone that took the time to vote. I look forward to working for each and every one of you.”

AND ALL THE

GANG

The eighth-grade class at St. Francis/Holy Ghost School celebrated All Saints Day on Oct. 28. Every year, eighth-graders don their favorite saint’s traditional attire and host a carnival and museum, where they put on games and share the story of their chosen saint to the fifth, sixth and seventh-grade classes. All Saints Day is an important feast day in the Roman Catholic Church, a day where all the recognized saints of the church are celebrated. One will expect to see more commonly known saints such as Bernadette, Patrick and Nicholas, while other, more obscure saints, such as Sebastian, Agnes and Barbara, also make an appearance. The event has been celebrated at St. Francis for many years, with many fond memories of the day being recalled by alumni. This year, St. Francis students were asked to contribute a $2 donation to enter the carnival, which was restructured to allow for social distancing. The funds will be used by the eighth-grade class to adopt a family this Christmas season for the local Angel Tree organization.

Jersey County has interesting connection to the Eads Bridge T

he Eads Bridge in St. Louis is an engineering marvel. When completed in 1874, it was the largest arched bridge in the world, the first bridge to span the Mississippi River in St. Louis, and the first bridge built with structural steel. No less amazing is the fact that it was the first bridge designed by James Buchanan Eads. The bridge, designed by the self-taught engineering genius in 1867, looked unlike any bridge previously built. Instead of being a traditional truss or suspension bridge, Eadsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; bridge used stone arches for support, and the superstructure was built from a new material called steel. It was also utilized caissons, a technique Eads learned from the French. The bridge was anchored by two stone abutments on the banks of the river and two massive stone piers in the middle of the Mississippi. The buff-colored stone used for the majority of these arches and its walls were quarried in Grafton and most likely floated down river aboard boats. When completed, the bridge was visually stunning with its lower deck for trains and its upper deck for carriages and pedestrians. However, some doubted its structural integrity. So two days before the bridgeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s official opening, 14 large train locomotives were driven onto the bridge to demonstrate its strength. Five years after the completion of the Eads Bridge, Jersey County once more played a part in the history of the Eads Bridge. This chapter of the tale of Eads Bridge begins with railroad tycoon Jay Gould and his desire to gain control of the Wabash Railroad and use the Eads Bridge for his rail line. Knowing his competitors were as cutthroat as he, Gould devised a devious plan to drive down the value of Eads Bridge stock, so he could buy it cheap. He did so by announcing that he had founded the St. Louis, Jerseyville & Springfield Railroad, which would connect Springfield and Jerseyville to Elsah and Grafton with a bridge spanning the river between Elsah and Franklin, Mo. When construction on the railroad began in July 1880, Swedish, Italian and German workers flooded Elsah looking for housing. Some workers were forced to live in stables,

Guest Column BY BETH MCGLASSON sheds and tents. That fall was one of the rainiest falls anyone could remember, but despite the adverse weather, thousands of men and mules worked day and night by torchlight laying ties and rails. As the rainy weather continued, thick mud threatened to slow their progress, so railroad workers commandeered haystacks, fence rails and dilapidated buildings to lay corduroy roads to further their work. Gould ensured angry landowners were compensated for â&#x20AC;&#x153;lostâ&#x20AC;? materials. For more than 100 days, crews averaged laying a mile of track each day. Lumber could not be shipped quickly enough to keep up with the frantic pace, so workers were sent to Michigan and special freight trains procured to haul the lumber south. The lumber traveled via the Burlington and the Chicago & Alton lines, and Gould arranged for his trains to be given preferential treatment over passenger trains. As a result, passengers were often forced to impatiently wait on sidetracks while trainloads of lumber passed by. As men were laying timbers and tracks, others were blasting a 400-foot long tunnel through the hills above Elsah, near the cemetery, and still others building a trestle to enable trains to traverse the steep hill leading into Elsah. As work progressed, the price of stock in the Eads Bridge dove. Gould made his move, buying stock in the bridge. With his original goal accomplished, work on the railroad was hastily completed. The hastily built trestle led to so many accidents that a local newspaper dubbed the rail line the St. Louis, Spring and Jump Railroad, because passengers were so often forced to spring from the train when cars jumped the track. The line into Elsah was used for less than a decade and the trestle torn down in 1890. The Eads Bridge was named a National Historic Landmark in 1964, and the story of its construction is fascinating. To learn more, visit www.nps.gov/jeff/learn/historyculture/ upload/eads.pdf.

Many restaurants are becoming â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;fast-foodâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; joints A

ccording to a recent article in the Wall Street Journal, restaurants that now have limited seating because of the pandemic are having to deal with an issue that has to be their worst nightmare: they now have to discourage diners from lingering too long so that they can get other customers in and out before closing time. For most restaurants, this has become a matter of economic life and death. In the good old days, restaurants often made their money on those diners who â&#x20AC;&#x153;lingeredâ&#x20AC;? over that extra bottle of expensive wine. But things have changed thanks to COVID -19 restrictions. When you think about it, it should not be too hard to get diners to pack up and go. Someone could scream â&#x20AC;&#x153;ratâ&#x20AC;? and point at a darkened corner of the dining room, or you could dump a wash tub full of snakes in the middle of the room, or to really clear the place out, play â&#x20AC;&#x153;My Pillowâ&#x20AC;? commercials full blast on the sound system. Unfortunately, to stay alive as a restaurant, you have to have those customers wanting to come back. You just canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t afford to run them off forever. So, here are some of the things restaurants are doing to politely â&#x20AC;&#x153;speed upâ&#x20AC;? those diners. Some have required that all diners order off the menu on the website and email their choices ahead of time. That of course eliminates the waiter waxing over some expensive special that he has never really been allowed to eat in the back room anyway. Certainly, having a waiter recite the dessert list in mouth-watering detail has been lucrative for both the restaurant and waiter, but unfortunately, going through that â&#x20AC;&#x153;dessert-list routineâ&#x20AC;? takes an extra 20 minutes off the allotted time. So, that practice has also been discontinued in some restaurants. To further save time, some restaurants now serve the entire meal at once â&#x20AC;&#x201D; appetizer, soup, main course and dessert; obviously, diners are discouraged from ordering ice cream. Most restaurants assign some kind of time limit â&#x20AC;&#x201D; not to the point of placing a ticking time

bomb next to the er Waldorf saladâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; Ridge Runn S E L but a reminder C I N CHRO of some sort Guest Column just the same. At BY BILL HOAGLAND least one restaurant advises of the time limit three times: when you make reservations, when the reservation is confirmed and again when you get to the restaurant. And here is a really bad idea that some are considering: giving diners a â&#x20AC;&#x153;go-cupâ&#x20AC;? so they wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t linger over drinks after dinner. Just pour those unfinished drinks in a go-cup and shove them out the door. Great, but is the restaurant going to pay the legal costs if they get busted driving home with an open container? Despite the fact that most customers understand why there now has to be a time limit, many resent it. And that resentment boils down to the fact that we have all been cooped up so long, people just want a great meal in ambient surroundings without being herded like a bunch of cattle; this resentment is not going away any time soon. So, hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an alternative suggestion for the dilemma. Money still matters, so why not grant a â&#x20AC;&#x153;discountâ&#x20AC;? for those diners who clean their plate before their time is up? And if they linger beyond their allotted time, they can stay without being hassled but they have to pay a â&#x20AC;&#x153;loitering taxâ&#x20AC;?; one extra half-hour is 10 percent more, an hour is 25 percent more and so on. And if all else fails, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always the â&#x20AC;&#x153;My Pillowâ&#x20AC;? ads. â&#x20AC;&#x201C;â&#x20AC;&#x201C;â&#x20AC;&#x201C;â&#x20AC;&#x201C;â&#x20AC;&#x201C;â&#x20AC;&#x201C;â&#x20AC;&#x201C;â&#x20AC;&#x201C;â&#x20AC;&#x201C;â&#x20AC;&#x201C;â&#x20AC;&#x201C;â&#x20AC;&#x201C;â&#x20AC;&#x201C;â&#x20AC;&#x201C;â&#x20AC;&#x201C;â&#x20AC;&#x201C;â&#x20AC;&#x201C;â&#x20AC;&#x201C;â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Q Bill Hoagland has practiced law in Alton for more than 50 years, but he has spent more than 70 years hunting, fishing and generally being in the great outdoors.

Jerseyville, Illinois

Soldier’s daughter tells his tale of Dachau By CONNOR ASHLOCK Jersey County Journal The world ages predictably around the tomb of Adam DeSherlia, a son of both Calhoun and Jersey counties. Today, DeSherlia, along with thousands upon thousands of his brothers and sisters, lie in their eternal slumber while the stories of the lives they lived lie in repose with them. Now, DeSherlia’s story, a story that was lived and echoed by far too many, remains to be told by those who knew him and loved him best. “We were originally DeGerlias,” Dottie DeSherlia Koenig, Adam’s daughter, said. “Daddy was born in Calhoun County in 1914 and was the baby of the family.” By the time Adam was born, his older siblings were already out of the house or about to leave to embark on their own lives. What brought him and his mother to Jersey County was the death of his father when he was 10 years old. “His dad was kicked in the head by a mule over there in Calhoun County and died a few days later from gangrene,” Dottie said. From that time on, Adam would be a Graftonian. Initially, he and his mother lived in a houseboat on the river before moving in with his older brother, Charles, who was known as “Old Cube” around the river town. “Growing up, they’d stretch bacon fat out for days and pick greens off of the hills to make salads,” Dottie said. “They were poor.” As far as growing up in Grafton in the 1920s goes, Adam was a run-of-the-mill character, but it’s what he experienced in the Second World War that would impact and change his life forever. Adam was drafted into the 20th Armored Division of the United States Army in early 1943. Although he did a lot of food-related work in the military— peeling potatoes endlessly and checking food inventory— he advanced on to hold the title of technician fifth grade. But it wasn’t feeding the army that impacted his life, it was what he would see while serving his country that would. After training at Camp Campbell, his division left Boston on Feb. 6, 1945 and arrived in Le Havre, France, on Feb. 19 before making his way to Germany. It was near the close of the war in the European Theatre. The Allies had already landed on the coast of Normandy nearly a year prior. The conversation had long been going on that the fight was nearly over. All that remained was to continue to press the German military further into surrender. Adam had a family waiting for him back home, and though he had his army buddies, he shared the common sentiment with his fellow countrymen that they’d rather be back home where they belonged. But, on April 29, 1945, just days before V-E Day, the men of the 20th Armored Division stumbled upon hellacious horror that was unparalleled to anything they could have ever imagined— a sight so awful, grotesque and ungodly, that not only would they never be able to unsee it, but they’d never be able to unhear it, unfeel it, nor unsmell it. Adam and his fellow soldiers came upon the first concentration camp of the Third Reich: Dachau. Mixed emotions arose among the bewildered liberators. Naked bodies were piled in every direction. Men, women and children in black and white horizontal-striped camp uniforms with hollow eyes and emaciated bodies that beamed with hope stood before them. While for the liberated, it was as if light entered their world for the first time, for those that freed them, anger, confusion, pity, sorrow and wrath churned their stomachs and broke their hearts. Some gave their weapons to the prisoners to aim freely at Schutzstaffel, or SS guards. Others sought out the execution of every dog that was trained for the sole purpose of attacking prisoners. It wasn’t all smiles and waves from war-wearied Europeans, but it was a day that would be recorded as a dizzying narrative that would highlight themes of justice, liberty and human nature that are still analyzed to this day. And Adam DeSherlia was a part of it all. The memories of that day, among others while in the service, would remain with Adam for the rest of his life, but his three daughters would grow up under his care with hardly a notion of what their father experienced, including his youngest, Dottie. Now, a grown woman who has experienced everything that her father hoped she would, Dottie has found herself on more than one occasion contemplating the strength of the man that she knew as “Daddy.” It wasn’t until she was newly married and inducted into motherhood that she came to learn of the terrible weight her father bore in his life. One evening, while her husband was away at work,

Adam DeSherlia served as Jersey County’s sheriff from 1966 to 1970. This is his official portrait that hangs in the front room of the Jersey County Sheriff’s Office.

Dottie and her father were watching television in their living room when a show about the Holocaust came on. “He started crying and got up off the couch, and I asked him what was the matter, and he said with tears that he couldn’t watch it,” Dottie said. “He was saying ‘The stench! The stench! I can’t watch that.’ That was around 1972 when that happened. I felt bad that he was crying, and I didn’t realize what all he really went through. And when you see your own dad crying, it just— it just sickened my heart.” This was a strange sight to Dottie. This was the man that loved laughter. This was the quiet man that she still referred to as “Daddy.” This was an entirely different side to the man that she’d go to the ends of the earth and back for. “He cried when he told me about the stench of Dachau. That was the hardest thing,” Dottie said. Adam DeSherlia opened up about other things that he had seen while in the service, not all at once, but through the years, in brief recollections. “He told me about how the Germans would cut the rings off the Americans’ fingers. That disturbed Daddy,” Dottie said with tears. “He said that was the hardest thing to see, Americans lying dead while pictures and billfolds were strewn about.” As Dottie recalled these stories of her hero, choked up with tears, she also considered the man that everyone knew. Adam loved baseball and was a Cubs fan. When he was younger, he’d take the train up to see his buddy Ed Baecht, who pitched for the Cubs. He coached girls’ softball teams and was an upstanding citizen of Jersey County. He raised three daughters on his own while serving in various law enforcement capacities throughout the county. He worked as a commercial fisherman, Chief of Police in Grafton and most notably as a Jersey County Sheriff. In the eyes of his youngest daughter, Dottie, he was a gentle giant, a man among men and the best father that a girl could ask for. “He was and still is my hero,” Dottie said. Today, his grandson and great grandson bear his name, a testimony to a man who saw the epitome of human evil and chose to attack it through the love he gave to his family and friends when he returned home. Following the war, Adam lived a good life. Though he bore the scars of trauma he held within himself for years, he led a life worthy of anyone who dares to call himself a man. He died in 1983 when Dottie was 30 years old. “I loved my daddy. He was my hero. I only wished I would’ve asked him more about his time in the service,” Dottie said. “If you have a dad or grandpa that was in World War II, Korea or Vietnam, talk to them. Listen to what they have to say. They’re all our heroes.” Today, Dottie remembers the whole man that was Adam DeSherlia and the story of his life that only she and her sisters can tell, and thankfully, she has told it— but only a glimpse of it. There aren’t enough pages to tell the stories of the men and women who have served our country through the years, but no matter how many years pass, stories like those of Adam DeSherlia will always matter.

A couple of months before another Walmart is to open, just 13 miles south of Jerseyville’s own supercenter, there are mixed signals coming from both sides on what that could mean to Jerseyville and Jersey County. Local officials predict a negative impact with sales tax revenue declining. Walmart believes otherwise.

November 10, 2010 “It made me proud to be a veteran, it brought tears to my eyes, it made me realize how far we’ve come and how much further we’ve yet to go,” were just a few of the comments from several area veterans who were honored by the students and staff at Jersey Community High School during their Veterans Day ceremony which was held Wednesday morning at the school. The events began as Chelci Wilson, who is a senior at JCHS, and assistant principal Lori Hopkins, who is a Marine Corps veteran, sang a rendition of “When You Believe” as the veterans were escorted into the gymnasium and to their seats by members of the school’s choir. The Jersey County board adopted a resolution banning the possession, distribution or use of the controlled substance K2 Tuesday. Jersey County State’s Attorney Ben Goetten told the board that the substance, also known as “spice,” will be banned by the state of Illinois in January. The city of Jerseyville has already made K2 illegal.

OUR TOWN/NEWS

November 11, 2015 Jerseyville’s downtown will see yet another business on State Street. A bar and slots parlor will open at 111 South State Street around fall of next year. It will join more than a half dozen other businesses that are building on Jerseyville’s main drag or have seen major renovations this calendar year following the implementation of a tax increment finance district. The Jersey County Board voted to consolidate polling places for the March election during a meeting Tuesday night. The move was made to save the county money and was unanimously approved by the board at its Nov. 10 meeting. Ameren announced Jersey County will be next to receive improvements for electricity delivery with an investment of $4.1 million. The improvements fall in line with the Illinois Energy Infrastructure Modernization Act, a 10-year plan for Ameren’s upgrade schedule, which was put into motion in 2011. Jerseyville saw a $1.9 million improvement in the form of a new transformer in 2013, but the newest upgrades will impact residential and business consumers, alike.

COUNTRY Financial Representative Wayne Schafer announced the Jerseyville Fire Department as a 2020 recipient of a COUNTRY Financial Operation Helping Heroes donation. Schafer presented the donation for $1,500 to Jerseyville Fire Chief Keith Norman to assist with the purchase of a cutoff saw. “I, along with my company COUNTRY Financial, had the distinct honor of presenting this check to our first responders at Jerseyville Fire Department,” Schafer said. “Thank you to the fire department for all they do in our community.” “We are lucky to have community partners like COUNTRY Financial who support us, and help provide life savings tools like the Supervac SVC4 cutoff saw we were able to purchase with their generous donation,” Norman said. COUNTRY Financial will donate more than $3 million in 2020 through its Operation Helping Heroes program to organizations and programs that support first responders and active duty service members. The Operation Helping Heroes program was created in 2015 to support non-profit events and programs that benefit active duty service members, veterans and their families. In 2019, COUNTRY Financial expanded the program and donated $700,000 to approximately 500 first responder and military organizations.

Birthday

By CONNOR ASHLOCK Jersey County Journal Recently, Jersey County Sheriff Mike Ringhausen and his staff have met with Illinois Senators Rachelle Crowe, D-Glen Carbon, and Steve McClure, R-Springfield, and Representative CD Davidsmeyer, R-Jacksonville, to give the politicians more perspective on the everyday events and concerns of police officers and to share their perspectives on issues that immediately affect law enforcement. Two of the primary issues discussed concerned the recent statewide conversation to end the bail system and crowding in the Illinois prison system. These two issues also resonate deeply with Ringhausen. “Concerning crowding in the Illinois prison system, we have a lot of warrants out there on a misdemeanor level that we aren’t bringing in due to COVID-19 because I have limited space in my jail,” Ringhausen said. “There’s 10 or 11 prisoners in the jail right now that are ready to be taken to an Illinois Department of Corrections (IDOC) facility, but IDOC isn’t taking any prisoners right now.” Because of the limited space within the Jersey County Sheriff’s Office, only felonies and certain misdemeanors are being brought into custody. “All that we’re taking in on misdemeanors right now is order of protection violations, domestic battery cases and driving under the influence,” Ringhausen said. Jim Kaitschuk, Illinois Sheriff’s Association Executive Director, weighed in on the issue revolving around prison crowding and COVID19 in the state. Since March 1, 12,659 inmates have been released from IDOC facilities in order to reduce the prison population as well as reduce the spread of COVID-19 in the state. “Since that time, we’ve only transferred, or had the ability to transfer, around roughly 2,000 sentenced inmates to the Illinois Department of Corrections,” Kaitschuk said. “So in that time, they had a net gain in their facilities of over 8,000 inmates.” An issue observed by law enforcement throughout the state is that several of these released inmates were guilty of violent crimes, and upon release, committed violent crimes again. Another issue, this one being more closely related to COVID-19, is that even though the prison population was reduced in IDOC, county facilities could potentially be hotbeds of COVID-19 spread because of the backup of prisoners being held in them until IDOC is ready to receive them. Kaitschuk observed that if prison populations had to be reduced at the corrections level to prevent the spread of COVID-19, then county facilities should have followed suit.

Now, IDOC has revealed that COVID-19 is present in its facilities, even though they abided by protocols established to prevent its spread. “IDOC has been talking about significant increases in COVID-19 cases in their transfers when they’re abiding by protocols,” Kaitschuk said. “You had to be COVID-negative before taking those people to inmate facilities. They were isolated before they even made it into prisons. Most jails have been fortunate to not have outbreaks. You have staff and vendors that are showing up to work, but I don’t believe you can blame that on transfer from jails to prisons.” Concerning the recent discussion of possibly doing away with the bail in Illinois, Ringhausen shares concerns that are similar to other sheriffs’ concerns in the state. “Here’s an example: We hold our children accountable, and we do so by taking away certain things. They do something wrong, we take away television, the car, going to certain events- it seems trivial but at a younger age, that is appropriate for their lives. “Now, fast forward to being an adult. You hold an adult accountable through hitting them in the wallet with a fine, or you take away personal liberty. If you’re committing burglary, then you deserve to have certain freedoms taken away. If you have someone habitually drinking and driving, you’re taking their keys away,” Ringhausen said. Ringhausen expressed that in taking away the bail, then there will be many instances where law enforcement will simply have to arrest individuals, do the paperwork on them, then let them go. “Where’s the accountability?” Ringhausen asked. One of the arguments in favor of doing away with the bail is that it

puts individuals with fewer financial resources at a disadvantage, but Ringhausen expressed disagreement with this. “I know plenty of people that are less fortunate than others that do not commit crimes, and these are people who I consider good friends. Don’t use the fact that you might be less fortunate than others as an excuse to commit a crime and expect not to have to sit in jail for it,” Ringhausen said. Kaitschuk aired a similar sentiment. “If you don’t have bail, then what level of accountability do you have to make sure people come back to their court date? The point of a higher-level bond is that they are a threat to the community. So, it’s a community safety issue. As an officer myself, I can attest that very seldom someone sits in jail on a low-level bond because they don’t have the money,” Kaitschuk said. Kaitschuk went on to explain that for certain offenses, for every day you sit in jail, you qualify for taking off $30 worth of your bail a day, so, after a certain period, you satisfy your bail. McClure expressed frustration in the lack of specificity in the plan by the governor and Democratic lawmakers. “Policies are laid out, but they are not specific,” McClure said. As far as the issue of cash bail, McClure was skeptical of the success of eliminating cash bail, asking these lawmakers where they are seeing success from such a move. McClure was especially concerned with letting more dangerous criminals like “murderers” and “rapists” running free. He noted he is in support of seeing further development of the drug treatment programs. Overall though, from what has been laid out, he said it is hard to say where he might land with no specifics to go off of at the time of the visit.

Jerseyville, Illinois

Illinois Supreme Court appoints justice to replace Kilbride By SARAH MANSUR Capitol News Illinois The highest court in Illinois appointed a new member to its bench on Tuesday. Justice Robert L. Carter, 74, will join the Illinois Supreme Court, effective Dec. 8, according to a news release from the Illinois Supreme Court. Carter will take the seat of Justice Thomas Kilbride, who failed to win at least 60 percent of the vote in his retention election last week. Kilbrideâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s term is set to end on Dec. 6. Kilbride, who served on the court for two 10-year terms, only earned 56.4 percent of the vote in his district, according to unofficial results. The Illinois Supreme Court voted unanimously to approve Carterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s appointment but Kilbride did not participate in the vote, according to the news release. Carter, who was first elected as a Democrat, will serve until a new justice is elected in November 2022. In the news release, Carter wrote he would not seek to remain on the court when his twoyear appointment ends. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am humbled by the confidence and trust the Court has placed in me as it is the honor and privilege of a lifetime to serve on the Illinois Supreme Court,â&#x20AC;? Justice Carter said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is a place where I first started my career as a law clerk to Justice Howard Ryan and it is where I will retire after this two-year appointment as I wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seek to run for this seat in 2022.â&#x20AC;? Carter first joined the bench in 1979 when he was appointed as an associate judge in the 13th Judicial Circuit Court, which covers Bureau, Grundy and LaSalle counties.

He was elected as a circuit judge in the 13th Judicial Circuit in 1988, and retained for the seat in 1994 and 2000, before he was appointed to the 3rd District Appellate Court in September 2006. The 3rd District Appellate Court is one of five appeals courts in the state that sit directly below the Illinois Supreme Court. The Supreme Court can assign additional circuit or appellate judges temporarily to any district, according to the courtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s website. Carterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s appointment to the Third District Appellate Court was extended, typically every two years, by the Illinois Supreme Court from 2006 through 2020. He earned his undergraduate degree from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in 1968. Carter was drafted to join the U.S. Army after earning his bachelorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s degree, and was deployed to Vietnam from 1969 to 1970. He was awarded the Army Commendation Medal for his service in Vietnam. After returning from Vietnam, he earned a Master of Arts degree in Public Administration from Sangamon State University â&#x20AC;&#x201C; now University of Illinois at Springfield â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and a law degree from the University of Illinois at UrbanaChampaign, graduating from both universities in 1974. He was a law clerk to Justice Howard C. Ryan of the Illinois Supreme Court for a year following law school, and was a lawyer in private practice from 1975 to 1979.
