JOURNAL

By JARAD JARMON Jersey County Journal The number of active COVID-19 cases in Jersey County has surpassed 200. Jersey County’s positive numbers have been continuing to increase rapidly, as is the case with the rest of the state. It was last week Tuesday when the number of active cases sat just below the 200 mark, and it was only a matter of time until the total ultimately crested the 200-case threshold. As of Nov. 16, the Jersey County Health Department reported there were 229 active positive cases in the county, further highlighting the growing spread of the virus in the community. According to their update Monday, 692 locals have recovered from COVID-19, and 22 have died as a result. According to local health officials, there are several reasons why the totals have shown significant surges. “COVID-19 have natural peaks in their transmission,” Doug King, Jersey County Health administrator said. “There are factors that cause these peaks. As the weather turned colder, people have spent more time indoors increasing the chances of becoming infected with a virus. People become fatigued with taking public health precautions and let their guard down. Increases in transmission occur at parties, weddings, funerals and the workplace. The virus transmission is happening everywhere.”

Honor Guard members conduct a gun salute on Wednesday, Nov. 11 outside the American Legion for Veterans Day.

COVID-19 can’t stop Jersey from honoring their veterans By JARAD JARMON Jersey County Journal The Jersey honor guard, veterans and other community members that usually attend and participate in the Veterans Day Ceremony at the Jerseyville American Legion are historically used to obstacles when it comes to honoring and remembering the veterans. “Usually, if something like this happens, it is because of bad weather,” Jerseyville American Legion Commander Vernon Timke said. “But we still have it. We can go under the pavilion

out here.” Last year, veterans and other attendees got to deal with frigid temperatures and snow. This year, it was a beautiful sunny day, but the COVID-19 pandemic and the mandates associated with it made the Veterans Day observance Wednesday a different beast and resulted in the cancelation of many of the Veterans Day traditions and celebrations both nationally and locally. However, it would not stop the traditional playing of Taps and gun salute by local honor guard members. (See, VETERANS, A2)

“I started out in the early ’80s, when I was asked to run for the county board for District 4 in Piasa Township, and I was successful in that,” Hubener said. “I was a college graduate from the University of Illinois and had the time and interest to serve the community. After that, I was reelected to the board and asked to serve as board chairman and did that for four years.” So, from 1982 to 1988, Huebener served the people of the county on the board, but as any board member will tell you, there are specific ways in which that service is applied. “At that time, I was a member of the Judiciary Committee, so I worked with Circuit Clerk Doris Pohlman, who was just a wonderful lady,” Huebener said. “When Mrs. Pohlman decided not to run again, having served as deputy clerk and two terms as the circuit clerk, I was

CHARLES HUEBENER approached about it, and after a period of discernment, I decided to run.” Huebener wanted some time to assess his abilities, and with the work ethic of a farm kid, as well as being familiar with budgets and the activities that are associated with the court system, he figured he had some idea of what he was getting into. “It took me a while to figure out if I was suited for it, but I was glad I ran. I enjoyed the job and the people I worked with,” Huebener said. Prior to his election to the office of circuit clerk, Huebener was able to keep himself productive with the family farm while serving as county board

chairman. In fact, it was his situation at that time that aided in his consideration in running for the office. “I was active with my dad and brother on the family farm west of Brighton,” Huebener explained. “However, as any farmer in the county will tell you, it takes a certain size of operation to support three families, so it became apparent that it would be beneficial if one of us worked off the farm.” The whole thing ended up working out like a dream for Huebener, who is still involved with the family operation. “Through the years, I’ve had a strong interest in the farm. It’s something that will always be with me,” Huebener noted. Now, having 32 years under his belt as circuit clerk, Huebener can take a step back and reflect on the three decades of work he’s put in for the county, which includes taking part in key events and celebrations in the county’s history. Huebener hadn’t been in office for a full year before the planning commenced for one of the county’s grandest celebrations in its storied past: The sesquicentennial anniversary of Jersey County.

Based on an Illinois Department of Public Health update on Tuesday, communities in the 62052 zip code have seen the most cases in Jersey County, totaling 609 since the virus first spread to the county. From there, the number drops significantly, though so does the relative population. Grafton, in total, has had 96 cases; Dow, 54; Fieldon, 35 and Elsah, 12. But the surge in cases can be seen statewide also. All of Illinois has been on an upward trajectory for COVID19 infections since early August. During his daily briefing, Pritzker noted the average number of new cases reported daily in Illinois has jumped 380 percent since Oct. 1, while the positivity rate has climbed 180 percent and both hospitalizations and deaths per day are up 150 percent. From Saturday through Monday, IDPH reported a total of 33,020 new confirmed and probable cases – an average of just over 11,000 per day – and 132 virus-related deaths. The preliminary seven-day rolling average positivity rate stood at 11.4 percent. That pushed the statewide totals since the pandemic began to 498,560 cases and 10,210 deaths. Given the current rate of spread, Illinois was projected to surpass half a million total cases on Tuesday. As of late Sunday night, 4,409 people in Illinois were reported hospitalized with COVID-19. Of those, 857 patients were in intensive care units and 376 of those patients were on ventilators. For the week of Nov. 2-8, the average number of people hospitalized with COVID-19 each day stood at 4,043, the highest it has been since the peak of the first wave of the pandemic in mid-May. The average number of people in ICU beds stood at 799 per day, the highest number since early June, while average ventilator use stood at 349 per day, the highest rate since mid-June. King with the Jersey health department noted that COVID19 numbers are a way to show people disease spread and keep them informed of the current situation in regards to COVID-19. (See, COVID, A2)

Area anhydrous tank rollover highlights need for caution By JARAD JARMON Jersey County Journal It is a concern every year around this time for those using or traveling with anhydrous ammonia, but it is moments like that on Friday, Nov. 13, in Jersey County that stress the importance of caution around anhydrous tanks on the road. Jersey County Sheriff’s Office deputies responded to a report of an anhydrous ammonia tank that had rolled over at 12:15 p.m. that day on State Highway 16, approximately one mile east of Lone Star Road. Matt Palos with CHS, a company that, among other things, provides anhydrous for local farmers, was hauling an anhydrous tank at the time. Near the site of the accident, the trailer holding the anhydrous tank had lost a wheel causing it to roll over, according to police officials. Despite the aforementioned rollover, none of the anhydrous gas leaked from the tank, no one was injured and the tank was removed from the scene. Things could have gone much differently, though, and this incident is one that highlights the

need for caution around vehicles carrying anhydrous, Elle Farmer, CHS agronomy operations supervisor, said. According to local accounts of the incident, a vehicle was attempting to pass the driver, Palos, which forced him to move closer to the shoulder – or lack thereof – on that section of road. In doing so, the axel then broke, and the trailer and tank rolled over. “This could’ve easily turned into something way worse than what it was,” Farmer said. “Thankfully, no one was hurt, and the tank didn’t leak.” Anhydrous ammonia is a gaseous chemical used, among other things, for corn crop fertilizer. From November to December and March to April, farmers are busy injecting fertilizer in their fields, and because of that, the roads are often filled with slowmoving vehicles carrying what is a dangerous and potentially deadly gas. Anhydrous ammonia, when inhaled, can cause asphyxiation, coughing and general breathing issues. Farmer, who has had personal dealings with the gas herself, said it causes your lungs

to burn. “It feels like you’re drowning,” she said. Farmer sees this as a teaching moment for those who come across trucks hauling these tanks on the road. “It was out of anyone’s control, but if this doesn’t teach you a lesson about staying back, giving ammonia tanks the space and just being (patient) I’m not sure what will,” Farmer said. She said there is rarely a time when drivers go out and do not come back with a story of some other driver cutting them off on the road, riding their tail or impatiently passing them. Farmer explained these vehicles need to be slow because of the cargo they are holding. “When we pull tanks, we can only go 25 miles per hour,” she said. These drives are already nerveracking to say the least. Drivers can’t turn or stop on a dime, and on particularly windy days, the trailer can feel like it has a mind of its own. “It is scary,” Farmer said. “… You will feel every bump.” But these nerves are especially compounded when someone

cruises past them or rides them. And the impatience among other drivers, Farmer said, is dangerous — not only for those hauling the anhydrous, but everyone in the area, should there be an accident resulting in a potential leak or explosion. Farmer urged people to give these tanks space by giving them at least a couple car lengths of distance. Outside of leaving room for them to maneuver, this will allow these tank haulers to see the drivers behind them. “Don’t be on our tail,” Farmer said. “We can’t see you.” It should be a consideration every time when driving on two-

lane roads, but drivers are also urged to pass with caution ensuring it is safe to do so. These tanks are often distinctive in themselves, but people can identify these white tanks because they are marked with signage noting their danger. “That person hauling the tank is someone’s dad, husband, son, friend, uncle,” she concluded. “Why risk taking their life and possibly yours, too?” Thankfully, according to Jersey County Sheriff Mike Ringhausen, these accidents have been uncommon in Jersey, despite the agricultural makeup of the county.

Grafton water tower highlights local pride By JARAD JARMON Jersey County Journal Grafton celebrated a bit of its identity within the last week, according to the city mayor, with the changes made to the Grafton water tower located in Grafton Hills. Now emblazoned on the Grafton Watertower is “Grafton,” where it used to only read “Illinois American Water.” “That was something that people up there and people in Grafton as a whole wanted to keep their identity,” Grafton Mayor Rick Eberlin said. “Now that it is done, I think it is very attractive, very well done. I think it went off without any incident or issues.” In a previous Grafton City Council meeting, the repainting idea garnered concern from at least one resident who did not want to see paint land on their home and it not be dealt with. City leaders, at that meeting, assured that would not be the case.

Eberlin expressed excitement and gratitude toward Illinois American Water for allowing the Grafton name on the water tower. “Once again, thanks to Illinois American Water and Dan for helping us get that done,” he said. Jarad Jarmon/Jersey County Journal

COVID (Continued from A1) Still, worry persists with potentially high transmission events like Thanksgiving. King said there is no way of knowing for sure if the numbers will spike following the food frenzy that is Thanksgiving. “It may be and it may not be. It all depends on human behavior,” he said. A little bit farther down the line, there is also concern surrounding municipal caucusing for village and township elections. These events, set around the start of December, can host hundreds and oftentimes take place in relatively small indoor meeting spaces. “We recommend not doing it or using technology that allows large groups of people to meet virtually,” the Jersey health department administrator said. “At this time, the local health department would recommend in-person meetings stay at 25 people or less using 6 feet social distancing measures and masking.”

No matter what, though, King advised that the cases will continue to go up. “Without a vaccine, the cases will continue to rise for a long period of time,” he said. “And even with a vaccine, it will take a few months to vaccinate enough people to slow the spread of the virus. During those months it will be important to continue public health mitigation measures.” Until that vaccine comes to market. there is still only one way of slowing down the spread: following the COVID-19 guidelines. “The most effective way to slow down the virus is masking, social distancing, keeping hands out of nose and eyes and washing hands,” King added. ––––––––––––––– Q Peter Hancock of Capitol News Illinois contributed to this article.

Veterans

(Continued from A1) “We made a commitment just like on Memorial Day that we will never forget our veterans, and it’s our duty to remember them and to honor them. It doesn’t matter if there is this COVID stuff or what it is. It is still our duty,” Timke said. “We can’t have a big gathering with the public like we usually do. We can’t have a parade. We can’t have our big meal like we do every year, but we can still get together as our own honor guard unit here to honor our veterans.” A handful of family members of the honor guard and other community members attended the brief ceremony. Timke spoke to the crowd briefly before the gun salute. “We are going to do our little part here, just like we did for Memorial Day to honor our veterans, past and present,” Timke said during the ceremony outside of the Jerseyville

American Legion. “We hope and pray that God is keeping a good eye on everybody wherever they are stationed in this world and brings them home safely some day to be back with their families again.” Donning masks because of COVID-19, several members of the honor guard conducted the salute. Following the ceremony, Timke had a note for everyone on that day or any day: “I hope everybody is thinking about our veterans. It is our democracy and our nation that is here, and our freedoms that are here because of the veterans. I hope everybody thinks of that at least sometime today, every day really, but especially today.” The Jerseyville American Legion was open and offering hotdogs and other food — but it was not like the big dinner for veterans like they normally have.

Huebener

(Continued from A1) “I was one of the three co-chairmen of the sesquicentennial celebration. It was the late Jim Becker, myself and Dave Isringhausen,” Huebener said. “It was a successful celebration, we were happy with the way things went, and I was proud to be a part of it. I’ve always maintained that the county official has a polite duty to give something back. I enjoyed it, but I felt it important to give back to the community that gave me the opportunity.” The year-long celebration included such events as a pageant of the county’s history at the Jersey County Fairgrounds and a special rendezvous along the river. Folks who attended any of those events or were a part of them will recall the busy bees of the county clerk’s office, including the late “Mrs. Republican” herself, Lila Blackorby, along with former County Clerk Linda Crotchett, her staff and several other well-remembered characters like Fred Easley and Monsignor Heinen– and Charlie Huebener was there for it all. Just five years later, Huebener would find himself engulfed in the celebratory spirit of the county yet again when the Jersey County

Courthouse celebrated its centennial anniversary in 1994. “I remember being a part of the discussion to preserve the tower,” Huebener recalled. “There was some structural weakness in the beams in the third floor area of it, in the attic, and that was monitored and reinforced to where it’s safe now, but there was some discussion about removing the tower and just having a flat roof there, and we just couldn’t let that happen.” In order to save the architecturally significant dome, then-State Representative Tom Ryder aided the courthouse in procuring a $20,000 grant. Additional funds were also gathered to strengthen and maintain the beams in the structure. “We were also able to do some exterior work to prevent any elements from weakening and preserving it as is. We should be in good shape for many years. It’s a beautiful building and is worth every penny to preserve it,” Huebener said. “You have to thank the community for standing behind it, but also the county boards through the years for addressing the need– new windows and such.” Having the privilege

of walking into one of the most beautiful buildings in the region meant a lot to Huebener, especially since he was constantly reminded of it through the day-to-day activities in the structure. “One of the things I enjoyed the most in my time in office was the different judges and attorneys that would come to our courthouse and comment on what a beautiful, wellpreserved building it was,” Huebener noted. “Attorneys coming out of Springfield and St. Louis where there was nothing but glass and steel, they’d see the beautiful stone architecture of our courthouse, and it made me appreciate it even more.” Huebener appreciated the original architecture so much, that when offices were redone several years ago, he made sure that a space along the wall was set aside to not be touched by workers as they remodeled the offices. Huebener framed the little square space that shows the original plaster and design work that date back to the courthouse’s early years. Indeed, Huebener has been around for quite a while. When he came into office, he arrived on the coattails of the Honorable Howard Lee White’s tenure. He would go on to serve under the Hons.

Claude Davis, Thomas Russell and Eric Pistorius, and is happy to see Jersey County’s first female resident judge, Allison Lorton, take the stand soon. “I’m sorry I won’t be able to work with Judge Lorton. When she takes office, that will be quite the special day,” Huebener said. The last accomplishment that stands out in Huebener’s mind is the three-decade long computerization of the courthouse records. When Huebener first took office, only the state’s attorney possessed a personal computer, as he best recalls, but in 1989, he and his office staff computerized the circuit clerk’s office as well. “We computerized the office, and ever since that time, we’ve been evolving from that initial set up to where we’re at today. We’re automated throughout the whole courthouse and it’s worked well,” Huebener said. While Huebener will miss his job as circuit clerk, he plans to stay involved with the family farm, keep up with high school and college sports and do a little traveling with the family, but no matter where he goes, he’ll carry with him a lifetime of memories made at the Jersey

County Courthouse. “I learned a lot from Linda Crotchett. Her motto: ‘Happy to meet you, eager to serve you.’ Linda and I worked across the hall for many years,” Huebener said. “And one of my favorite guys was Frank Yocom. We had a good, special bond. And I sure miss Judge Russell– a wonderful, kind man and very compassionate.” Of course, Huebener will also miss his staff, folks who have become good friends of his over the years. But he’ll also miss the public he served. “I’d be remiss if I didn’t express a deep ‘thank you’

to the public for their confidence in me through the years,” Huebener said. “Jersey County is a great place to live and is in good hands. I wish Allison Lorton and Danny Scheeter the very best.” As Huebener’s tenure comes to a close and the doors of the future open to the upcoming generation of public servants, it goes without saying that even though his life was positively impacted by his tenure as circuit clerk, the mark he leaves on the courthouse will continue to make a difference for years to come.

Margie was one of 10 children born to the late John Thomas and Edna Mary (Edwards) Bray. After graduating from Jersey Community High School, she worked as an operator for the Jerseyville Telephone Company. She never lost her love of talking on the phone!

It was like having Grandma for the day!” Margie served as a proud member of the National Society Daughters of the American Revolution. She was admitted into the DAR in 1970, celebrating her 50th year as a member this year. She was also very active with the local Center for Autism and the local CASA network (Court Appointed Special Advocates for Children). She was an amazing mother, grandmother, and friend.

Thanksgiving Discourse in Jerseyville Guest Column O BY BETH MCGLASSON

n Nov. 24, 1853, Rev. Lemuel Grosvenor delivered a Thanksgiving sermon at the Presbyterian Church that contained a wealth of information regarding the history of Jerseyville. The following is a condensed and paraphrased version of his speech: The early settlers of Jerseyville left their homes, their parents and the fields and villages they once called home to settle â&#x20AC;&#x153;a wild, rolling prairie, lying in its native beauty just as God had made it, skirted with forests of oak and hickory, where each could hew his own beam and build his own log cabin.â&#x20AC;? Joseph Fairchild made the first land entry in Jerseyville in October 1823. James Faulkner was the first resident of Jerseyville. The latter settled here in 1827 and built the Red House, around which the Cheney Mansion was later built. This was the first frame house built on land now occupied by the town of Jerseyville. Faulkner sold the Red House to Alfred Carpenter in 1830. By the end of 1833, the tiny settlement included three families and a bachelor. In addition to the Carpenter family, which lived in the Red House, were the following: Newel Adams and his family arrived in January 1833. Adams built a cabin on the south end of Jerseyville, near where Walgreenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s is now located. He held a number of jobs but mostly farmed. He built the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first steam mill. John Anderson and his family were the next to settle here. Anderson built a cabin â&#x20AC;&#x153;at the high point in town,â&#x20AC;? near the corner of State and Pearl streets. He later served as an election judge, but little else is known about him or his family. The final resident of Hickory Grove was a bachelor named Murray Cheney, who later married and had a son named Prentiss Dana Cheney. Prentiss and his wife later owned the Red House and transformed it into the Cheney house, which now serves as the cornerstone of the Jersey County Historical Society, by making numerous additions and upgrades to the home. In 1834, John Lott and Edward Daley built the first store in Jerseyville and laid out the town in blocks and lots. The First Presbyterian Church of Jerseyville was organized in Newel Adamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cabin that same year. 1834 was also the year a group of men met in the Red House to determine an official name for the town in anticipation of the first post office. Liberty, New Hampshire and Livingston had been proposed when John Lott

suggested Jerseyville to honor the many New Jersey immigrants who helped settle the area. To this day, Jerseyville remains the only incorporated city in the United States by that name. In his sermon, Rev. Grosvenor shared that he considered the name given to our city a fortunate one for the prospects of the place. He believed it played a part in settling the city and the country around it with many from New Jersey. When those in that state were ready for a new adventure, they got a map of Illinois, sat down to study the topography of the country and decided upon the very spot of this wide prairie where they wished settle. The name Jerseyville, Jersey County, smacked greatly of old homestead and fireside. In 1835, Jerseyville lots were publicly sold for the first time. Lots 50-feet by 110-feet sold for $20 to $40. The next year, in February 1836, the first child was born in Jerseyville. His name was Henry Grigsby, and his mother, Sarah, had made the trip from Tennessee to Illinois in a two-wheel cart with her six children a few months prior to his birth. The town of Jerseyville was incorporated in July 1837. The first trustees were John Lott, G. H Collins, Samuel McGill, Richard Graham and Edward Daley. In 1839, Jersey County was formed and Jerseyville named the county seat. Many people opposed the choice, believing the lack of readily accessible lumber would hamper the townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s growth and that Jerseyville had little chance of competing with the bustling town of Kane to the north. George Burke made Jerseyvilleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first addition in 1839. The nearly 40-acre addition included many streets named after abolitionists. In 1840, the original Jersey County courthouse was built at a cost of $6,000. It was built on a block John Lott and Edward Daley donated to the town to be used as a public square. Next week, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll share the second half of Rev. Grosvenorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Thanksgiving discourse. 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;â&#x20AC;&#x201C;â&#x20AC;&#x201C;â&#x20AC;&#x201C;â&#x20AC;&#x201C;â&#x20AC;&#x201C;â&#x20AC;&#x201C;â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Q Beth McGlasson is a history buff and vice president of the Jersey County Historical Society.

There are still some issues with the Pfizer vaccine W

e finally received some â&#x20AC;&#x153;goodâ&#x20AC;? news on Nov. 3 when we were told that we can expect an effective vaccine for COVID-19 within the next several months. On that date, Pfizer announced that results from Phase 3 of its testing for a new vaccine have been â&#x20AC;&#x153;favorable.â&#x20AC;? This conclusion (that the Pfizer vaccine appears to be working) was based on the fact that most, if not all, of the 94 volunteers in Phase 2 of the Pfizer tests who tested positive for the virus after receiving the vaccine had received the placebo or â&#x20AC;&#x153;fakeâ&#x20AC;? vaccine, not the â&#x20AC;&#x153;realâ&#x20AC;? vaccine. In other words, after the Pfizer vaccine was administered to 44,000 volunteers, the only volunteers who have since been diagnosed with the coronavirus have been the volunteers who got the â&#x20AC;&#x153;fakeâ&#x20AC;? vaccine, not those who got the â&#x20AC;&#x153;realâ&#x20AC;? vaccine. This suggests that the â&#x20AC;&#x153;realâ&#x20AC;? Pfizer vaccine is effective. Close on the heels of the Pfizer vaccine is the Moderna vaccine, which was developed in the same manner as the Pfizer vaccine. According to Moderna, their vaccine is in Phase 3 and is also almost ready to be approved for distribution. We certainly needed that good news but we have a long way to go. And there are some issues about the new Pfizer and Moderna vaccines that perhaps got glossed over in our thirst for something positive. First of all, regardless of how many vaccine candidates eventually get approved for distribution, we are looking at another six months before most of us can count on being vaccinated. There are many unanswered questions, such as whether a particular vaccine is effective over the long haul. Normally, that determination takes months or even years to resolve. Generally, you would want to wait at least a year or two to see if the antibodies developed from a particular vaccine are likely to remain effective for a reasonable period of time. But, we are in too big of a rush to wait even another six months before the first vaccinations can be approved. That is not to say that the Pfizer and

Moderna vacer cines are unsafe; Ridge Runn S during Phase 2 CHRONICLE of the testings, Guest Column a determination BY BILL HOAGLAND was made that these vaccines can generally be given safely to humans without significant, harmful side effects. Rather, the issue that might be otherwise clarified by waiting even another six months would be how long the vaccinations will remain effective, especially as to specific high-risk groups such as elderly patients. But there is another issue that has not received a lot of attention and it is this: the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines both involve revolutionary technology. In order to quickly create an effective vaccine, Pfizer and Moderna developed a synthetic gene designed to trigger the development of antibodies to fight the coronavirus infection instead of using small doses of the virus itself. This new technology is referred to as â&#x20AC;&#x153;mRNA,â&#x20AC;? which is short for â&#x20AC;&#x153;messenger ribonucleic acidâ&#x20AC;?. For an excellent (and fascinating) explanation of how this works, you can go to the National Human Genome Research Institute website, which can be found at â&#x20AC;&#x153;www.genome.govâ&#x20AC;?, and type in â&#x20AC;&#x153;mRNA.â&#x20AC;? As some commentators have noted, using a genome-based vaccine is â&#x20AC;&#x153;new and unproven technology;â&#x20AC;? it has never been used on humans before. Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just hope it works because as I see it, we may not have any other choice if we hope to get rid of this virus in 2021. So bring it on and get in line. 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.

Jersey superintendent asks governor to allow sports

By CARMEN ENSINGER Jersey County Journal More than 200 school districts across the state, including JCUSD 100 have signed a letter drafted to Gov. JB Pritzker asking him to reconsider his ban on high school sports. Gov. Pritzker has essentially banned the high school basketball season, moving basketball up into the high-risk category of sporting events. The IHSA, however, countermanded saying high schools could play athletics if they wished. Gov. Pritzker fired back saying if schools defied his ban, they would open themselves up to a huge liability issue. Below is the letter composed to the Governor and signed by Winchester and Bluffs dual Superintendent Kevin Blankenship, Greenfield Superintendent Kevin Bowman and Jersey Superintendent Brad Tuttle: “Dear Governor Pritzker, “First, we want to thank you for the work you are doing as Governor to mitigate the risks of COVID-19 while keeping our communities, families, and most importantly our students in a safer environment. “The purpose of this letter is to share our experience and perspectives as educators and leaders tasked with the safety and wellbeing of our students, staff, families and communities. The educational experiences of our students are most successful and valuable while interacting in-person with teachers and coaches while participating in extracurricular and co-curricular activities in our schools. “Well-rounded and balanced experiences inside and outside of our classrooms help our children mature into young men and women. The pandemic has and continues to impact the social interactions of our students among their peers, adults, and various situations that help prepare them for what life will bring. Some of the negative effects that we are seeing as a result of these experiences being limited are depression, anxiety, lack of motivation, and loss of self. “Despite the resilience of children, negative consequences are appearing and we fear this is the tip of the iceberg as these issues continue to rise. The interactions and opportunities provided before, during, and after school hours throughout a variety of settings shape the lives of our students. Educators have worked relentlessly to reinvent how we educate our students and provide social interactions over the past six months. “However, extracurricular experiences that include high stress situations, teamwork, dedication and focus towards a common goal cannot be replicated unless students are

given the opportunity to play and participate. We urge you to consider three factors before delaying or canceling any future extra-curricular seasons at the high school or junior high/ middle school level. “One, school districts have shown that when given the opportunity, we rise to the challenge and find the delicate balance between health and safety of our school communities while providing for continuity of learning. Districts this summer created a plan, adhered to State safety measures, implemented cleaning protocols and made decisions in the best interest of our students during the COVID-19 pandemic. “Two, school districts are creative. We continue to find ways to connect with students, teach them, and provide opportunities for participation, and to hold special events. Schools have students learning in remote, blended and in-person environments. We have made special events such as graduations, parking lot proms, drive through celebrations, senior recognitions and much more happen safely. Parents have become our partners in even deeper and more meaningful ways. “Three, in most instances, positive cases found in schools come from outside of the school. We take the safety of our students seriously. When it comes to athletics, schools will provide a safer environment with procedures and accountability with more fidelity than a travel or club program every single time. Without the opportunities in our schools, students will play for unregulated clubs and travel teams while traveling out of state to do so. “We as superintendents are calling on you to allow our students to participate in extracurricular activities and interscholastic competition. While each scenario is different, schools have shown that we are adaptable, vigilant, and accountable while keeping the health, safety, and well-being of our students as the highest priority. It is time to allow superintendents, athletic directors and coaches the opportunity to partner with IDPH to provide interscholastic competition in a safe environment. “Our students are our top priority and nobody will take better care of them than our schools and the educators who have dedicated their lives to them. Our students will benefit immensely from the unrepeatable experiences. The physical, mental and academic well-being of our students are depending on us. Our students are depending on you.” The superintendents signing the letter represent more than 200,000 students across the state of Illinois.

JCMS run for Wounded Warrior

By LUCAS GARDNER Jersey County Journal Though it may not be a new event, as always, the Jersey Community Middle School (JCMS) Wounded Warrior Run is an inspiring reminder of what the next generation is capable of. Students raised more than $6,000. The Wounded Warrior Project, according to the organization’s website, provides aid to “Veterans and service members who incurred a physical or mental injury, illness, or wound while serving in the military on or after Sept. 11, 2001.” Because of the restrictions placed on JCMS because of COVID-19, the middle schoolers had to host a virtual run this year. While JCMS Student Council sponsors Kathy Shalley and Christy Schilling thought the participation would be down, they were amazed with the results. “At first, we were super nervous about participation but they really came through this year,” Shalley said. This year, JCMS students raised more money for the local American Legion posts in Jerseyville and Grafton than ever before in the fundraiser’s eight-year history, with a grand total of $6,200 to be split between the two legions. “We are very proud of our students for this accomplish-

ment,” Shalley said. There were about 80 students that participated in the virtual run, and approximately 75 students total are on the student council. The students were required to collect pledges for the run until Oct. 30 and the run was to be completed by Nov. 13. “We had a lot of participation from not only the council, but other students in the school,” Shalley said. “They encouraged students throughout the gradeschool to not only participate, but send pictures during and on completion of the run. My partner and co-sponsor, Christy Schilling, and I are really proud of these kids for what they did for the community.” The students who partici-

fifth, sixth and seventh grades, who raised about $500 each, have not only earned the previously mentioned rewards, but also a

Some thought that the high winds that hit the area around that time were to blame, but Becki and Brian Matthews, the owners of BigBoyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Donuts, knew that the winds werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t to blame. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was windy that night, but that donut is rather hard to get off the post as it is. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think it wouldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve blown far away without someone noticing it, and even if it did blow away, it more than likely wouldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve remained close to the area or land in a nearby field,â&#x20AC;? Becki Matthews said in the Oct. 28 issue of the Jersey County Journal. Well, following that issueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s publishing, the Halloween weekend came and went with nary a peep of the shenanigans that are associated with many Jersey residentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; favorite holiday. But, the Matthewsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; got a special surprise on Nov. 1 when Sprinkles made a return from his brief vacation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Well, someone stopped in on Nov. 1 when

I was working and said that they had Sprinkles in their car and would like to return it,â&#x20AC;? Becki Matthews said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;That is awesome, thank you so much.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? From the get-go, the Matthewsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; were in no mood to let Sprinklesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; disappearance blow out of proportion, imposing a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;no questions askedâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; policy concerning his hopeful return. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sure some kids took it home to be silly,â&#x20AC;? Becki Matthews said previously of Sprinklesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; disappearance. The Matthewsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; understood that kids were probably just having fun, but also knew that that didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t might it right; nevertheless, making mistakes and owning up to them is all a part of growing up. A lot of folks did it, and a lot of folks learned a lesson coupled with some wisdom. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They said that they would rather not say who took him, and I said that was fine with me, I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need to know anyway,â&#x20AC;? Becki said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m just happy that he is home where he belongs. This is going to put a smile on a lot of faces.â&#x20AC;? Sources report that Sprinkles enjoyed his brief vacation, but is ready to get back to work. At the time of publishing, he was resting and was unavailable for comment.

What hybrids, varieties worked well this harvest season? As the harvest hustle and fall field work start to slow, it is time to reflect on the growing season to see what worked well and start making decisions for the next season. On farm yield data from the current season is a great way to evaluate hybrid and variety performance. For choosing new or different hybrids and varieties, the University of Illinois Variety Testing provides some useful information to aid in making those decisions. The Variety Testing program conducts replicated, small-plot testing on commercially available corn, soybean, wheat, forage crops and sorghum in Northern, West Central, East Central and Southern Illinois with about three locations in each region. These tests have been conducted over multiple years allowing for evaluations to be made across diverse growing seasons. Information for the variety testing can be found at https:// go.illinois.edu/VT. When making comparisons, I typically like to look at yield results

across multiple locations to see how consistent the hybrid or variety yields. Other sources that provide quality yield data include the FIRST (Farmers Independent Research of Seed Technology) plots. These plots are conducted throughout the Midwest by farmers using their traditional management practices. With these trials, information such as soil type, fertility programs, pest management and planting population are included which can allow you to make decisions based off practices similar to your own. Data from the FIRST plots can be found at https://www. firstseedtests.com/. For a deeper dive into corn hybrid evaluations, look at some of the work done the Crop Physiology Lab at the University of Illinois. With their Management Yield Potential Trials, commercially available corn hybrids are evaluated across three rates of nitrogen (0, 60, and 280 lbs. N), 3 plant populations (32, 38, and 44K) and two row spacings (20 and 30â&#x20AC;?)

in Northern, Central and Southern Illinois. These evaluations are useful in matching hybrids up with your current management practices, or even provide data on how to better manage hybrids you currently plant. This information can be found at https:// go.illinois.edu/CropPhysiology. Yield information provided by private companies can also be useful for making comparisons to results from other sources. The more data you have to compare might make things more confusing for yourself, but it can be helpful for seeing results across varying soil types and environments. Good Growing Tip of the Week: A certain hybrid or variety is not going to yield the same for everyone due to our variations in soil type, fertility programs, weather and other management practices. No one knows your land and farming practices better than you, it is important to do your research and find something that will produce well for you!

Jerseyville, Illinois

Local woman places high in baking contest By LUCAS GARDNER Jersey County Journal Big things are happening for Jersey County resident Alyssa Cairns Blackorby-Calan, who is hoping to win some recognition and sweet prizes for her baking business. Blackorby entered a contest held by Bake from Scratch Magazine to find culinary creatives from around the globe. The online public voting competition gives bakers and their fans a chance to support the No Kid Hungry Foundation through a voting system, which allows the public one free daily vote and paid â&#x20AC;&#x153;hero votes.â&#x20AC;? It also pays out big for the winner, who will receive a yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s supply of Stuffed Puffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, $10,000, world-wide recognition as â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Greatest Baker 2020,â&#x20AC;? and a trip to Pennsylvania. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I saw the contest on my Facebook page because of my interests I guess, so I entered,â&#x20AC;? Blackorby said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If I won, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d love to expand my tiny kitchen to make it more appropriate for baking. Winning would help and would be good exposure for business.â&#x20AC;? Blackorbyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s love of baking comes from her childhood. In her early teens, she would bake a cake for Thanksgiving and take it to her grandmaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s house. Since then, her passion has only grown. In the last six to seven years she has let her hobby become a career, taking on a part-time job in the Sinclairâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bakery where she is able to concoct colorful culinary works of art. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was always interested in baking, and since I lived so close to Sinclairâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s I thought that it would be good to get out of the house and help a few hours a day,â&#x20AC;? she said. Still, even the most experienced professional bakers can get scared, especially since their delicate confections are a favorite for the most important days of peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lives: weddings, graduations and birthdays. What for many is a fun hobby is often serious business for those with a passion like Blackorbyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was asked to design a black and purple wedding cake. It was four tiers high and topsy turvy. I had to take it to Alton and I almost had a heart-attack driving it there,â&#x20AC;? Blackorby said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The road conditions that day were fortunately perfect. Although Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sure people werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t happy with how slow I was

driving.â&#x20AC;? In spite of the stress it causes, Blackorby says she loves the craft, and has done several cakes such as a pregnant belly for a baby shower that used an actual ultrasound picture; a burger, fries and milkshake cupcakes for a carnival themed birthday party and a black wedding cake. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The all black wedding cake had to be one of my favorites. It was a wedding the weekend before Halloween,â&#x20AC;? she said. Blackorby says she gets her inspiration from pictures and YouTube videos, but mostly she is self-taught. She entered the Bake From Scratch contest about three weeks ago, and recently moved from the top ten in her group to the top five, then, should she place high enough to move to the next round in the competition, only the best in the round will advance. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I love baking because itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an art form and a way to express myself,â&#x20AC;? Blakorby said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As far as the competition goes, this Thursday is going to be a tough one. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m currently in fourth.â&#x20AC;? The voting for top five ends on Nov. 19, at 11 p.m. At the time of publication, Blackorby was in fourth place in her group.

Bright Nights

Page 2

Welcome to Bright Nights! By CONNOR ASHLOCK Campbell Publications In March, our world in Jersey County and beyond was drastically changed by the global spread of the COVID-19 virus. It shuttered homes and businesses, kept family and friends apart and stopped the normal flow of our everyday lives. Festivals, fairs, concerts, parties, grand openings and other events were halted. At first, we anticipated time moving slowly, but now, almost nine months later, we’ve learned that many can’t keep their days straight in their heads. We blinked in April, and somehow, June showed up. Now, it’s the Christmas season, and though we thought politics was the “no-no” topic at the holiday table, it’s safe to say that as the years go by, 2020 will more than likely be referred to as the year no one speaks of. As the winter months are advancing on us, for many folks, life gets generally drearier. To add to the already expected dreariness of this time of year, the virus will affect how many families celebrate the holidays this year. The volunteers and board members of the Downtown Country Christmas Festival, Inc. have recognized the present dilemma, and even though they won’t be able to host their usual festival activities, they thought to take the present situation and make it better. Their solution: Bright Nights. Throughout the streets and parks of Jerseyville, approximately 50,000 lights are displayed, a feat that has taken Michael Ward and his fellow volunteers months to prepare. “I’ve always wanted to light up the parks, but we’ve never had a reason to. Bright Nights originally started as window displays,” Ward said. “We knew we were going to do extensive window displays as early as last year, but we didn’t know we were going to be decorating the parks like we have this year.” Ward has 23 storefront windows in downtown Jerseyville participating in Bright Nights this year. “Originally, it was supposed

to be a smaller element that was a part of the Downtown Country Christmas Festival, but this year, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, it is one of the few things that can still be done safely to ring in the holiday season,” Ward said. There are approximately 15,000 lights in Dolan Park, 8,000 in Rotary Park and 8,000 in the courthouse square, in addition to the lights that will twinkle from the Christmas trees along State Street. “I’m excited that I’ve been able to play a role in this endeavor,” Ward said. “What makes it all worth it is the happiness that it brings to people. Believe me, this can often get very stressful, but in the end, after seeing enough smiling faces to get you through the year, it makes it all worth it.” Meagan McGlasson/Campbell Publications

The 8,000 lights at Rotary Park shine brightly in anticipation of Bright Nights. Nearly 50,000 lights, in total, will offer carloads of families and friends a chance to experience Christmas cheer in a safe manner this holiday season.

Beth McGlasson chosen as the 2020 recipient of Kringle Award Article courtesy of the JCBA and Downtown Country Christmas, Inc.

Beth McGlasson has been chosen as the recipient of the 2020 Kringle Award. The Kringle Award is given by the Downtown Country Christmas Festival each year to honor an individual and/or organization that has exemplified the spirit of giving and leadership to further the awareness of their cause, using their experiences and passion for the betterment of the community. Even in the absence of the festival this year, the committee wanted to continue the tradition of this award. McGlasson is vice president of the Jersey County Historical Society and has been lovingly restoring Jersey County cemeteries along with her husband, Dennis, for over a decade. Her work in these two areas has served to educate local residents on the rich history of Jersey County and its inhabitants, a local history that even McGlasson admitted she was not fully aware of until she was in her 30s.

“I have been a resident of Jersey County my entire life, but I had no idea of the incredible stories of those that came before us prior to my work at the Historical Society and in our cemeteries.” McGlasson shares glimpses of her research through the Jersey County Historical Society Facebook Page and in the local newspaper. Her research has uncovered many remarkable lives lived, but it is her able storytelling which leaves many eagerly awaiting the next installment of Jersey County history. McGlasson began her work at the Jersey County Historical Society 12 years ago, tending the society’s gardens. After becoming more familiar with the nonprofit, McGlasson asked if she could turn her attention to organizing and consolidating their cemetery books. It was the cemetery books and a friendship with John and Diane Loy, who were involved with Find a Grave, that led the McGlassons to start one of their biggest projects – to identify, find and document the abandoned cemeteries in Jersey

County, a project that took five years to complete. “I love history, but I have an affinity with cemeteries. These are the people who came before us and who allow us to live as we do today, and we owe it to them to care for them,” she said. The McGlassons are currently restoring East Newbern Cemetery near McClusky. They are locating, resetting, repairing and cleaning old stones. Not only does the McGlassons’ work provide a fascinating look into local history, it also helps genealogists as well. Every grave that Beth and Dennis find are documented on www.findagrave.com (which is the world’s largest gravesite collection) as well as at the Jersey County Historical Society. “It’s extremely rewarding work. I once heard from a gentleman who, thanks to a photo we posted, found where his great grandfather was buried after decades of searching. Those moments are really special, and it’s one of the many reasons we love this work.”

McGlasson is also quick to celebrate the Jersey County Historical Society and its work. “There is so much more to the Historical Society than the Cheney Mansion. We have an amazing complex, and I’m always surprised by how many people have never visited our museum. However, our real gem is our genealogy center and its director, Lois Lock. We have over 10,000 family files from Jersey County and lots of historical records from Jersey, Greene and Calhoun counties. If you want to learn about your family, visit Lois.” Further, in recent years McGlasson and her fellow board members have increased awareness of the Historical Society with their Dearly Departed Funeral and Wedding Traditions tours. And McGlasson wants to continue to push the Historical Society forward. “COVID-19 has meant that there were a lot of things we wanted to do in 2020 but couldn’t. We can’t wait to continue our work when it’s safe to do so.”

Locals named to Santa’s Nice List By MEAGAN MCGLASSON Campbell Publications It’s no secret that Jersey County has a host of do-gooders who work hard to make the community as welcoming and inclusive as possible. Since 2016, Downtown Country Christmas has been recognizing some of these individuals with the Kringle Award, which honors an individual or organization exemplifying the spirit of leadership and giving. Past winners have included heavyhitters like Santa’s area representative, Steve Pegram, the festival’s inspiration, Tess Drainer, local angel (and Angel Tree founder) Janice Arnold and Kimberly Wade and the Kids Shouldn’t Have Cancer Foundation. Unlike previous years, we already know who will take home the Kringle Award, but we wanted to get to know several deserving nominees who were willing to be interviewed about their work and favorite parts of Christmas. This list is not exhaustive, and many more deserving individuals were nominated but either couldn’t be reached for comment or chose not to do the interview. If you’d like to see someone you know on the list next year, make sure you follow Downtown Country Christmas on Facebook so you’re notified when the nomination and voting process begins. Darla Cavins of Here’s to Reading What’s the best part of living/working in Jersey County? Wow, this is a hard one for me, there are so many. Dave and I have been here for 20 years and we’re always amazed at the kindness and gratitude we’ve seen in this community. What’s your favorite part of Christmas? The memories made with family and friends. Driving around and looking at all the beautiful lights. The people, the giddiness that’s in the air. I enjoy that people slow down and take the time to say “Merry Christmas.” What are some of the holiday traditions important to your family? I think traditions change as your children get older. When our son was small, it was the anticipation of Santa, the tree and making lists for presents etc. Now that our son is older, we enjoy sitting around Christmas morning with coffee and some type of a special pastry and just enjoy each other’s company. It is very relaxed. Tell us a little bit about your organization/ project. Here’s To Reading is a non-profit that me and my husband started two years ago. The purpose is to bring free reading access to our rural areas. We have done this through purchasing cottage sheds and then creating small libraries within them. We currently

have five locations, with each location having over 200 books to meet the needs of all age groups and across all genres. These books have been donated by individuals within our community and outside our community. Each Here’s To Reading library is open on a set schedule. I have workers and volunteers that help me maintain this schedule. More information is available on our website www.herestoreading.com and you can follow us on Facebook. What makes service worth it to you? Why do you work so hard at what you do? I think it is like anything you put your heart and soul into. It’s the positive affirmations you hear. Here are a few that come to mind: When a parent says, “Thank You for having this open, my daughter loves to read.” When a little girl comes in to get books so her and her friend can play library. When a mother says, “I am not a good reader but reading to my child is helping me read better” as she takes four books out. When you hear, “This is the best thing that has happened in Jersey County in a long time.” I think the above statements is one reason why I work so hard at promoting these libraries. Another reason is that I love to read. I do believe that when a child/adult reads they are opening their minds to all the possibilities in life. This has been a dream of mine ever since our son was little. We were fortunate enough that we had the enjoyment of the public library, it bothered me that some kids didn’t have this. Erica Heitzig, Family & Consumer Sciences Teacher What’s the best part of living/working in Jersey County? I can’t imagine living or working anywhere else -- this is where my heart is! The best part at this time is that I get to attend school with my 14-year-old daughter. My nieces and nephews are all Jersey Panthers. I’ve had family come through my classroom and I’ve got my baby cousins in my classes right now! Being invested like I am makes me create the best experiences possible for my students. It’s so much more than just a paycheck. What’s your favorite part of Christmas? Making the holiday season feel magical for our daughter. Our Downtown Country Christmas Festival is a huge part of that! So pleased that Bright Lights is happening this year, despite adversity! What are some of the traditions important to your family? We have an 8-foot ceiling in our home and annually purchase the tallest real Christmas tree that we can find - usually somewhere about 12 feet. We make it appear that our Christmas Tree is going through our roof as if it didn’t fit. Our daughter loves the tradition, and as parents, we do too! It creates a little extra holiday magic, comical

conversations with kids who drive by, and a point of interest for our community! Tell us a little bit about your organization/ project. I’m a Family & Consumer Sciences teacher at JCHS. Students enroll in my classes because they want to learn to cook or sew and create. What I am really teaching them is how to follow directions, build character and confidence, socially interact, get them to think about life after high school, recognize their strengths and weaknesses and help them find their niche. I’m just blessed with the opportunity to use food and thread to teach them these invaluable career skills and help them plan their future. What makes service worth it to you? Why do you work so hard at what you do? The very best part of being the kind of teacher that I am is watching opportunities unfold for students as they put their acquired skills to use and feel successful. Examples include getting the part-time job that they apply for after practicing job applications in my classroom, the warm fuzzy feelings they get after practicing gratitude by texting their parents “thank you for all you do for me,” or the joy felt by the service of hand sewing a plush monster toy drawn with crayon by an elementary student. The best of my services don’t feel like work at all. I’m blessed to have a career that

I am allowed to play to my strengths. School to community connections and collaborating is my passion. It makes learning meaningful which makes learning easy! Feeling like you are part of the big picture, no matter your age, and is critical for achievement. I teach my students to dream big, happiness is worth the pursuit. No matter where they land in this crazy world, I want them to feel like Jersey County is a place they always call home. Beth McGlasson, vice-president of the Jersey County Historical Society What’s the best part of living/working in Jersey County? The people. I’m from a big family, so when I meet someone, chances are they know my dad, a brother or sister, aunt or uncle. It’s always given me an amazing sense of belonging. What’s your favorite part of Christmas? I love everything about Christmas and find it just as magical now as I did when I was a kid. I’ve been known to watch Christmas movies and listen to Christmas music throughout the year. I love shopping, decorating, wrapping presents, baking and spending time with family. It truly is a magical time of year. CONTINUED ON PG. 5

Continued from pg. 4

What are some of the Christmas traditions important to your family? For decades, my dad’s family gathered at “the estate,” the home where he and his 11 brothers and sisters were raised. The house was jam-packed with aunts, uncles and cousins. Santa Claus always delivered presents for the kids, and for some strange reason, he always looked an awful lot like an uncle or older cousin. My dad and Aunt Margie are the only two left of the original 12 siblings. Dad will soon be 95, and Aunt Margie is 96. Oh how I’d love to have the rest of them back again to spend one last Christmas Eve together! Tell us a little bit about your organization/ project. The Jersey County Historical Society collects, preserves and shares Jersey County history. We have a beautiful complex and an amazing collection of historical artifacts - all because of other people’s generosity. In addition to the Apple Festival, which has become a fall favorite with locals, over the past few years, we’ve started hosting tours to showcase the Cheney Mansion while examining historic topics. We plan to introduce an Underground Railroad program early next year. It should be really interesting! What makes service worth it to you? Why do you work so hard at what you do? Volunteering truly makes me happy. I enjoy meeting new people and spending time with others - even if work is involved. Plus, I know firsthand how many volunteers are needed to make an operation or project successful. Many hands truly do make light work. Cathy Reynolds of Helping Hands in Jersey County What’s the best part of living/working in Jersey County? Jersey County is the best! It’s such a great place where we know our children’s teachers and they know us parents, a place where neighbors look out for one another and a place where we can call “home sweet home” because it’s just that! It’s the best place to raise a family! We have so much heart and pride within our community, each person wants to make life better for others if they can. Everyone here loves and values our community’s team spirit! The small businesses all over our community support our students in so many, many ways and we support our local businesses because they are like an extended family to us! What’s your favorite part of Christmas? My favorite part of Christmas would be all the traditions! The family get-togethers, the cousins bonding, seeing the lights be put up on all the corners downtown, the happy feeling that comes with the holiday music and getting together with those we love. What are some of the Christmas traditions important to your family? Our family has many traditions. Every year we decorate a little sooner than the year

before just to make the Christmas feelings last longer. We always take a trip to Chicago the week before Thanksgiving to see the lights on Michigan Ave. and this begins our holiday celebrations. We come home and our home is ready for the holidays! Our wedding anniversary is at the end of November, so Mitch and I celebrate by Black Friday shopping together and we relax at a nice hotel and eat a nice dinner after a stressful shopping experience! We spend the next full day cuddled up at the hotel wrapping all the presents before heading home! After this, we feel ready to enjoy all our holiday baking! Some of our favorite things to bake together as a family include Peanut Butter Squares (West Elementary School recipe), Chocolate Covered Peanuts, and more recently our family has had fun making hot chocolate Cocoa Bombs! We gather on Christmas Eve with Mitch’s large family and celebrate in the garage because the family extended so much we don’t all fit in Grandma and Grandpa Reynolds’ house! Here we play traditional games, eat, and open presents in a frenzy! We then head to the Christmas Eve candlelight service at church to celebrate the “reason for the season” Jesus Christ’s birth. Then on Christmas morning we wake up and head to Grandma and Grandpa Crotchett’s home where we all come together. The Crotchett family is much smaller than the Reynolds family however, more greatnephews and nieces seem to be arriving each year! Christmas at the Crotchett’s takes a little longer as our tradition is each person waits as the other opens their present and we go around the room sharing gifts and watching what each person received. My favorite part is when my daddy sneaks off to get mom her special card. Occasionally, the card comes with a present but it’s the card that is most special! My daddy writes a love letter to my mom each year and it’s the most special thing about Christmas!! The love these two share is amazing! It brings us all to tears! One day this will be what I miss most on Christmas morning. Tell us a little bit about your organization/ project. When media outlets started reporting that there was an outbreak called COVID-19 and it had made its way to the US, I began to hear and notice for myself that shelves at the local stores were becoming empty quickly. I even saw an elderly person looking with despair at the empty shelving. This broke my heart and made me think hard about what I could do to help. I felt like we were not going to get through something like this unless we all worked together. I knew that Jersey County would pull together in a time like this because that’s just how we are… I created a Facebook page called Helping Hands in Hersey County where we could communicate our needs and if someone saw your need they could help you out! Those items that were no longer on the empty shelves went somewhere! It seemed everyone

Page 5

had geared up for a state of emergency to protect their families, but I thought if they knew someone was left without they could always share some of what they had with them. I wanted to be sure that people who didn’t have internet or Facebook could still have my number to call to get their needs met. I made fliers and several community members helped me hang them on the doors of the elderly and low income housing areas. I started a collection of widely-needed items and turned my classroom into a storage pantry. We made sure that the delivery of items was non-contact by leaving items at front doors and calling to let them know their items had arrived. On the Helping Hands Facebook page, many community members shared ideas and concerns as the pandemic became more localized. On this page volunteers organized by Janice Arnold of Angel Ministries spent hours making thousands of masks for not only healthcare workers because of shortages but also masks for anyone who ever needed one- free of charge using donated supplies! The sewing volunteers made sure that they kept sewing until everyone in our community was face covered! The Helping Hands Facebook page has helped meet many needs that would have otherwise gone unknown. We make deliveries to those who are quarantined so they can stay home and stop the spread of this virus. Basically, we all pulled together as a community. The Facebook page just

helped keep everyone aware of needs as they came up! I must say Jersey County not only stepped up like I knew they would, but they have really shocked me with how much love our community has for our neighbors!! We saw God’s hand in this community through this Facebook page! It’s been overwhelming the outpouring of love and kindness being shown each day for total strangers that have one thing in common.. they live in Jersey County! What makes service worth it to you? Why do you work so hard at what you do? I do not want to see anyone go without. I have been very blessed with wonderful parents, family and friends and it pains me to think about what others have to go through daily that have to struggle for their basic needs to be met or that have not been blessed with a good family from birth and now they struggle to make good decisions and the battle is real. My heart hurts for them. I want to do my best to help and to let them know that they are loved and cared for by their community of neighbors. I just want people who are struggling with basic neighborly needs during this pandemic and in the future to know that people care and those people are right next door, up the street or just across town because Jersey County people are caring, loving and giving. I just wanted to help so I started a Facebook page, but the people of Jersey County have made it succeed!

y r r e M as m t s i r h Cfrom the Jersey County Fair!

We’re proud to support the Downtown Country Christmas Festival’s work to bring some Christmas cheer in this dreary year. We’ll see you July 11-18, 2021, but until then, thank God for Christmas and the story of the hope it brings.

Jerseyville’s Christmas season begins downtown Nov. 30

Wednesday, November 18, 2020

Jerseyville’s annual Downtown Country Christmas Festival takes place this year on Saturday, Nov. 30 throughout city’s downtown business district and Courthouse Square. The Festival will mark its 5th year with this Small Business Saturday 2019 event. “This event is a staple in the community,” said Michael Ward, the City of Jerseyville’s tourism coordinator who also serves as the festival’s coordinator. “It has been building over the past four years all because of a wish first made by a little girl from our community.” That influential young lady from Jersey County is Tess Drainer, whose mother first shared with local charity Isaac’s Ray of Hope about Tess’s wish to bring her love of everything about the movie “Polar Express” and somehow share it with everyone. From that wish, a community wide festival was born and is now ready to mark its fifth celebration of “everything Christmas.” “I believe that this 5th anniversary will continue the tradition of holiday excitement for every child, also bringing back some wonderful memories for the adults in the community who attend. The festival is all about kids and families. It also celebrates the small businesses

Bright Nights

in our town and county, providing an additional platform for everyone to show their support and emphasize their continued importance,” Ward added. The Jersey County Business Association is among the list of host sponsors of the event, which is held annually to coincide with Small Business Saturday. JCBA Chamber Director Beth Bear said, “As a hallmark community-gathering event, the Downtown Country Christmas Festival also brings upwards of 5,000 people to downtown Jerseyville on Small Business Saturday, providing phenomenal numbers of shoppers for the merchants, vendors and exhibitors who participate. “The economic impact is very visible, as is the sense of community spirit. Community businesses, whether downtown or around town, notice significant increases in sales and growth in their markets as a result,” added Bear. Taking place from 2 to 8 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 30 in the heart of Jerseyville’s downtown along State and Pearl Streets and the perimeter, there will be an extensive lineup of holiday activities to spark the season’s spirit no matter what age you are. Volunteers for the Festival are always needed, for this

Local Businesses ready for Small Business Saturday Article courtesy of the JCBA and Downtown Country Christmas, Inc.

For the last several years, Small Business Saturday has been a lucrative day for many State Street businesses in Jerseyville. Small Business Saturday is held on the Saturday after Thanksgiving, which here in Jerseyville has meant that it has always coincided with the Downtown Country Christmas Festival. The festival has brought thousands of visitors to downtown Jerseyville to shop, dine and enjoy the local community. And while this year Small Business Saturday will be on Nov. 28, the usual Saturday after Thanksgiving, local retailers will be missing the Downtown Country Christmas Festival. The festival has had to pivot its offerings, switching a large-scale community gathering to Bright Nights. Bright Nights will trade the kid’s games for Christmas light displays and Christmas window decorations, all of which can be viewed at a safe distance from others. Director of the Jersey County Business Association, Beth Bear said that the Christmas festival has been an important fixture for local businesses. “The JCBA chooses to be one of the festival’s main sponsors each year because it does have such a significant effect on our business community. The day of the

festival is profitable for our local businesses in downtown Jerseyville. Many report having their best sales day of the year, whether they are retail or the food and beverage industry,” Bear continued. “While we are sad that there will not be a festival this year; we also completely understand that safety must be a priority. We are fortunate that the festival board is made up of community minded individuals who see the value and importance of our small business community. We are grateful that the festival committee has found a new, pandemic-safe way of bringing people to our businesses.” Owner of 1880 Pizza Pasta restaurant Andrea Ringhausen has said that she is already planning a special offering for her customers on Small Business Saturday. “We are mindful that we are in a very fluid situation, but we are already thinking about how we can draw people to our downtown. We are decorating our front windows and putting up our Christmas displays.” Ringhausen also acknowledged that while business on the day is important, making people familiar with your establishment can be just as important. “Increasing downtown foot traffic brings us new customers. There may be some people who dine with us for the first time and then become repeat customers. There

are others who might not even make a purchase on the day, but who come back the next week or month.” Whether people dine in or carryout, Ringhausen is committed to remaining open however she can safely do so. “We want to keep our staff employed and remain open. And we also want to continue to serve our customers. Our carryout and curbside business has been amazing and we will continue to provide this service.” Bear said that she couldn’t stress enough the importance of Small Business Saturday. “Now more than ever, our local business owners need us. I have always been amazed at the generosity of our local businesses to our community. They have consistently made choices to invest in Jersey County, and now it’s our turn to invest in them. Small changes in our behavior can help many businesses to see through the pandemic. Shop small. Shop local. Get out there and support your favorite small business because it’s more important this year than ever.” Small Business Saturday is Nov. 28. Bright Nights, the Christmas lights and windows exhibition will begin this same day. Please come visit downtown Jerseyville to enjoy the season and shop small.

Jersey County Historical Society to host Christmas tours By BETH MCGLASSON Jersey County Historical Society This December, for the first time in over a decade, the Jersey County Historical Society will host Christmas tours in the historic Cheney home. “For several years now, we’ve opened the Cheney House for tours the Saturday after Thanksgiving in conjunction with Downtown Country Christmas,” explains Beth McGlasson, vice president of the society. “But this year, we’re going all out in terms of decorating and will be open for tours in December. “This year has been challenging for everyone, and we want to help spread some old-fashioned holiday cheer.” The home will include nearly a dozen Christmas trees, each decorated differently. Photos of the 1912 and 1913 Cheney Christmas trees are the inspiration for the

tree in the office, which will pay homage to Christmas in the early 1900s. Another room will celebrate Christmas in the 1950s, complete with its aluminum tree, chenille bedspread, bottle-brush trees and retro Christmas decor. Tickets are $5 per person, and all tours will be self-guided. However, tour dates and how tickets will be sold has not yet been finalized. “The current spike in COVID-19 cases has things up on the air right now,” McGlasson explains, “but we’ve already started decorating for the tours. We’re hoping that in the next few weeks, we’ll have a better handle on how many guests we can host at any one given time.” She encourages those interested in the tours to check the Historical Society’s Facebook page the week of Thanksgiving and the Jersey County Journal’s What’s Happening section for updates.

Submitted photo

Picture it, Christmas, 1912 The Jersey County Historical Society’s famed Cheney Mansion will be opening up the historic home for tours this holiday season. Prentiss Dana Cheney II was born in March 1912 and would celebrate his first Christmas later that year at home. The Cheneys loved to take pictures of their everyday lives and a photo survives of P.D.’s first Christmas that features the family Christmas tree, which looked almost identical to the one pictured here.

Teamwork makes the dream work By CONNOR ASHLOCK Campbell Publications Tennessee might be known as the volunteer state, but the dedicated volunteers who work to bring the annual Downtown Country Christmas Festival to life are definitely giving the state a run for its money. “On a normal year, we need between 60 and 100 volunteers to make the Downtown Country Christmas Festival happen on the actual day of the festival alone,” Michael Ward said. “Throughout the year, though, we usually have between five and eight people who are really dedicated to helping out.” Ideally, Ward would prefer to have around 10 to 15 solid volunteers on account of the workload volunteers handle throughout the year. Both crafty and non-crafty volunteers are needed to get the job done, as there are always tons of projects that need to be tackled before the big event in late November. “They test electricity, build things, paint things, sort through things, get the tubs ready for the kids games– basically every little thing that has to get done throughout the year, from testing the light strands on the trees to painting decorative pieces– gets accomplished through the hard work of

these volunteers,” Ward said. “Our volunteers are extremely hardworking and are inspiringly dedicated to making the festival a success every year.” Even though this year the festival will be far from what we are accustomed to, the work can’t stop for the DCCF volunteers. In fact, this year might prove to be just as nerve-racking as ever due to the fact that Ward will have more time to drum up ideas for next year’s event. Despite this, though, the DCCF volunteers stand behind Ward’s efforts because of what the festival means for community businesses, children and their families and other community members who get to experience a little seasonal magic at the festival each year. “We work a lot with the cemetery/public property department for the city. They do a lot of work for us,” Ward said. “They’re the ones that handle putting up the big tree and the large reindeer, and anytime I need help they’re on it.” In addition to the help of city workers, Ward relies on help from the county as well. “If it wasn’t for Sheriff Ringhausen standing behind what we do, we wouldn’t be able to decorate the courthouse grounds,” Ward said. “We need his permis-

sion to light up the square and he is always very excited about giving us the go-ahead.” Young and old alike get involved with making the event a success every year, and the festival wouldn’t be as large or exciting as it is without the help of countless organizations that step up to show off the town. “Let’s hope I can remember them all. We work with Steve Pegram with GotFaith? and local churches such as the First Baptist Church and Holy Ghost Church. Then the Jersey County Fair Association always is a big help, as well as the Jersey County Historical Society. I love the fact that our history can be a part of the experience. Much of the athletic department at the high school helps out, Erica Heitzig and her advanced design class also lends a welcomed helping hand. William Nobbe and the Tri-County Antique Club are what helps us keep it country with the activities they bring– I really appreciate what they do for us every year, and the kids do, too. Julie’s Graphics, Angel Tree Ministries, the Jerseyville Economic Development Council, the Jersey County Business Association– I know I’m missing some, but that gives you an idea of what all it takes to bring it all together,” Ward said. Between the businesses, governments, school groups and nonprofits, there are

well over 100 organizations that work to make the Downtown Country Christmas Festival a reality every single year. “We’re thankful that all these businesses and organizations join us in our efforts because what we strive to do is make our community better while supporting the local economy,” Ward said. “We want Jerseyville and Jersey County to succeed in all areas. We understand that the virus has put a lot on hold this year, but we’re holding out for better days ahead.” Given the fact that the COVID-19 pandemic has put a halt on the usual activities of this year, Ward is happy to be able to keep a semblance of the festival going, treating it somewhat as a ‘thank-you’ to the businesses and organizations that bring the festival to life. “We’ve found now that we have the opportunity to step up and support our community through offering our Bright Nights event this year,” Ward said. “It might not be much, but as the winter days are quickly approaching, everyone understands the tremendous benefit of being with friends and family, driving around to see the holiday lights. There’s an element of nostalgia to it, so really, we hope to remind people of happier times while leading them to look forward to 2021.”
