FRIENDS & NEIGHBORS

By KRIS SCHEFFEL Jersey County Journal Grafton residents know it all too well. When temperatures drop, so too does the traffic and business in Grafton.

However, the slate of events in Grafton this season is a reminder of continuing efforts from those in the community looking to change that.

Grafton lights turning on has served as an expression of this effort and sign that the town is not closed down for the season.

Grafton leaders expressed they do not want the city to only be a summer destination. Community leaders have worked over the years to extend its tourism season well into the fall and winter months.

Grafton’s peak tourism months took a hard hit earlier in the year because of the flood. A longer season might help to mitigate these impacts.

“The flood was obviously a huge setback for the town,” Mary Lillesve, Grafton alderwoman, said.

Lillesve said the city certainly slows down during the winter months, particularly in November. Since her moving to Grafton, she said she has witnessed efforts to add events

and activities into those later months to help generate tourism.

“We are a tourism revenuebased town,” she said. “The more we can do to make the town year-round, the better. A lot has happened in the last ten years that has made it more year-round.”

She specifically referenced the upcoming Santa’s Chocolate Express as an example of just how much has changed during these years.

The first year, she said, the event, then called Taste of Chocolate, was hosted by the Grafton Chamber of Commerce at the Grafton Winery.

Then, a few years ago, the event began to focus on a broader Grafton experience by taking visitors to businesses throughout the city. Not only did this encourage businesses to remain open longer, but it also showed visitors that there was plenty more on offer even in the later months.

This year, the city has also bolstered its social media campaign for the Chocolate Express and other events.

However, the Chocolate Express is one of many new additions.

“One of the big things that’s happened is the ice rink,” Lillesve said.

Kris Scheffel/Jersey County Journal

Visitors enjoy a bit of winter fun on the ice at the Loading Dock’s reopened ice rink last Saturday night.

The Chamber of Commerce is even looking to hold its annual Christmas dinner on Dec. 4 at the Loading Dock to take advantage of the ice skating, she said.

“We’ve never before tried to have a dinner like that at the Loading Dock,” she said.

This month has also seen the opening of the Grafton SkyTour Aerial Lift, which will be open all year round.

“That could be a gamechanger,” she said. “We’re just really counting on it to bring tourism year-round... They are planning events and festivals (See, SEASONAL, A3)

Elsah to open doors for holiday home tours

By KRIS SCHEFFEL Jersey County Journal Elsah residents will be opening their doors for those wishing to share some holiday cheer and local history.

The Home for the Holidays House Tour has been a Christmas tradition for 15 years with home tours dating back even further. The Christmas spirit is infused with the village’s history to provide an experience for visitors and locals alike.

“Elsah’s history dates back to the 1880s,” Blair Smith, the event’s organizer, said. “In 1971, it was listed on the national register of historic places.”

Elsah has been a model for the conservation of historic towns through the work of the Historic Elsah Foundation’s first president, Charles B. Hosmer.

These preserved homes, many dating back to the mid-1800s, will be taking center stage during the Home for the Holidays House Tour with holiday decorations inspired by that past.

“It’s really cool,” Smith said. “There

are 12 historic homes open this year.

Now (visitors) finally get to see inside these beautiful homes.”

As visitors explore Elsah, they will be invited into the homes by the owners and given an insight into the history of the homes as they tour its premises.

“These are the homeowners that love Elsah and want to share it’s history,” Smith said.

In addition, many of the public buildings will also be open for visitors to explore including the two-story schoolhouse, the methodist church, the museum and Farley’s Music Hall.

Musical entertainment will also be hosted in both the methodist church and the Christian Science Church.

“Quaint little shops in Elsah and bed and breakfast’s will be open as well,” Smith said.

My Just Desserts will be serving a fix priced meal in Farley’s Music Hall, which dates back to 1885. The meals are $11 per person, first come, first served, and will go from 11:30 a.m.

By KRIS SCHEFFEL Jersey County Journal Parent-teacher conferences have concluded with much success.

During the Nov. 21 Jersey school board meeting, the district principals reported the results of their conferences to the board.

Speaking on behalf of East Elementary principal Kim Anderson, Jersey Community Middle School Principal Jason Brunaugh reported a 94 percent success rate at the elementary school.

“All fourth-grade teachers and half of the third-grade teachers had student-led conferences,” he said.

“They were very well received.”

The middle school, Brunaugh said, held over 800 conferences between 30 teachers with an average of 26 students per teacher.

“It was down a little bit,” he said.

“Sixth and seventh, it was less than we are used to.”

However, the fifth grade saw about a 100 percent success rate during the two days of conferences.

“Most of our fifth-grade teachers; they are self-contained,” Brunaugh said. “They have a class list between 26 to 27 kids.”

Brunaugh said that teachers not only made calls to parents asking them to attend the conferences but that they were also challenged to make ‘thankful calls.’ The focus of

these calls was the gratitude teachers felt in having those students in their classrooms.

“At our school, we did 240 calls yesterday,” Brunaugh said. “The parents really appreciated that.”

Grafton Elementary principal Michelle Brown reported similar figures to that of East Elementary, reporting over 92 percent participation.

“Most of our K through four classrooms had nearly 100-percent participation with just one parent missing here or there,” she said.

“Some of the ones that didn’t attend were brand new pre-K parents who just joined the program... We had overwhelming participation.”

During the conferences, the students’ artwork was put on display in the gym just as it had been during Grafton’s Art in the Park.

Students got to show off their work and creativity to their parents who then got to take it home with them.

“It really looks cool in the gym,” Brown said.

In addition to the art gallery, the school also held a Scholastic Book Fair.

“They do an excellent job of setting it up, organizing it, running it for both nights of the conference, and the kids get to take home a little something after the parent-teacher (See, CONFERENCES, A2)

State declares emergency for propane shortage

By KRIS SCHEFFEL Jersey County Journal The state has made a regional emergency declaration regarding a shortage of propane due to delivery issues.

Residents are urged to prepare as the winter weather begins to move in.

The shortage, according to a news release from the Illinois Propane Gas Association, is a result of the restrictions placed on the transportation of propane and the limits on pipeline capacity.

“Illinois is one of seven states now under the disaster declaration,” the state news release said. “Demand is high and supplies are low due to delivery issues caused by early winter weather conditions.”

The Illinois Propane Gas Association stated that propane marketers are reporting sales over five times the amount this month as compared to last year. In part, the demand is driven by corn and grain dryers.

“To understand the demand from the corn and grain dryers, consider that your typical home that uses propane

for space heating, water heating and cooking might use around four or five gallons every day,” the Illinois Propane Gas Association officials stated. “But some of these grain dryers are using nearly 18,000 gallons every day. That volume of gas requires two tractortrailer loads of gas every day.”

John Sullivan, director of the Illinois Department of Agriculture, made a similar statement in a state news release emphasizing the impact weather has had on propane usage.

“Farmers are struggling to dry high moisture grain caused by wet weather and delayed harvest,” Sullivan said.

“2019 has already been a stressful growing and harvest season for the farmers.”

On Nov. 19, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) said it was exploring actions to “alleviate propane constraints in the midwest,” according to the release. Additionally, FERC accepted a proposal to allow the emergency transportation of propane for a thirty day period to the Midwest.

Jerseyville festivities to again meld Disaster loan outreach with Small Business Saturday center established in county

Communities all over the country mark Small Business Saturday this year on Nov. 30.

Mom-and-pop shops, small businesses, creative entrepreneurs and non-profit groups that are at the heart of every hometown will roll out too-good-to-miss gift ideas, sales and specials with the hope of enticing holiday shoppers to “come inside and take a look; there’s something special for everyone.”

It’s all a part of encouraging the idea of “stay local, shop local” on the day following the annual battle for the best bargains at the big box stores that has become somewhat of a Black Friday tradition.

The fifth annual Downtown Country Christmas Festival takes place in the heart of Jerseyville’s downtown district on Saturday, Nov. 30.

And again this year, the City of Jerseyville, Jersey County, and many other partners have joined together to offer a more unique way of ensuring shoppers can fulfill their holiday gift-giving lists while also fulfilling their wishes for memories in the making.

Travelers should make note that Illinois Highway 67 (State Street) will be closed for traffic from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. for the Festival event. Exchange, Pearl, Arch and Washington Streets will also be closed for traffic from 1 to 10 p.m. to accommodate Festival activities.

Festival parking will be available at multiple locations surrounding downtown Jerseyville, with complimentary shuttle service also provided and looping from Jersey Community High School to the merchant district.

The lineup of holiday cheer, food, fun, entertainment, activities and more kicks off when the vendor and exhibitor heated tent opens at 10 a.m. Well over 100 locals will set up shop for the day under the big tent which will be located along North Washington Street near the rear of Holy Ghost Catholic School and Medford Food Mart. Some of the live musical entertainment will also perform throughout the day inside the heated outdoor venue.

At 11:30 a.m., Jerseyville Stadium Theater will open its doors for moviegoers, offering a free viewing of the 1985 Christmas holiday classic “Santa Claus: The Movie,” with leading characters portrayed by Dudley Moore, David Huddleston and John Lithgow.

Live music from the Festival’s South Stage begins at 1:30 p.m. The scheduled live music lineup for this year includes Isaiah Christian & the Rebel Saints, Carl & Jay Acoustic Styling, Flatliner, and the Music of Jersey Community Unit School District 100.

The big guy himself – Santa Claus – arrives via Survival Flight helicopter to Jerseyville’s Lions Club/Wittman Park, located at North Jefferson and East Spruce Streets, at approximately 2 p.m., leaving his sleigh parked safely at the North Pole.

Shortly after Santa’s debut, Elf Boulevard officially opens, offering a host of over 30 children’s games, activities, inflatables and more along its stretch. That’s also when Mrs. Claus’ Bake Shoppe opens for business, free photos with Santa get underway, the Elf School bell rings, and the North Pole

Jerseyville’s Downtown Country Christmas Festival welcomes many festive holiday entries each year like this vintage pickup that was dressed and ready for Christmas as it moved along the State Street route as a part of a past Rudolph’s Red Nose Parade. This year’s festival is Nov. 30. The parade steps off at 7:30 p.m.

Post Office readies itself to receive all the important correspondence from the children that needs processing in time for Christmas morning.

Also at this time, holiday hayrides begin circling throughout downtown and the historical Cheney Mansion opens for tours of some its buildings. Kids will also have the chance to sign Christmas cards to be sent to troops deployed overseas for the holidays.

But wait – there’s more.

“Each year, we’ve grown, adjusted, adapted and expanded what is offered at the festival.

There truly is always something for everyone. The idea behind the Downtown Country Christmas Festival has always been to bring the community, its residents and visitors, and the region together to share in the true spirit of the holiday season,” DCCF’s Julie Pohlman, owner of Julie’s Graphics, said. “We want families and individuals alike to come out for the Festival, support our local businesses, and take memories home with them that will last a lifetime. Then come back again each year to make more of them.”

Participating downtown restaurants offering festive holiday food and beverages include 1880 Pizza Pasta House, DJ’s Pub and Grill, Domino’s Pizza, Fran & Marilyn’s Restaurant, George’s Local Brew, JEM Bar and Redbird Deli. Fried Everything Food Stand will host its offerings from inside the vendor and exhibitor tent, and there will be two locations hosted by Kettle Corn. Pig on a Wing will have its food truck located at State and Pearl Streets, while Heavy Smoke is on an adjacent corner at State and Pearl.

As part of the Festival event, the 2019 Kringle Award recipients and Light Up Your Business winners are both announced during the official lighting ceremony of the City of Jerseyville Christmas Tree at 5 p.m., and Rudolph’s Red Nose Parade steps off at 7:30 p.m. The festival concludes at 8 p.m.

Complete details about Jerseyville’s fifth annual Downtown Country Christmas Festival, including a detailed map and schedule of activities, are available online at downtowncountrychristmas.com.

Conferences (Continued from A1) conferences,” Brown said.

“It’s a big hit with everyone.”

The school also had the 5Essentials Survey available on computers for parents to take during the conferences.

The survey measures how the school is perceived to identify strengths and weaknesses as a means of further improving the schools.

At West Elementary, Kristie Hurley reported similar success during the parentteacher conferences.

“We too had great parentteacher conferences,” she said. “Over the two evenings, our staff conducted a total of 406 conferences, and that’s a huge number. I give them huge props.”

School officials created surveys for parents to complete while they waited for their conferences. The surveys included three questions with a scale from one to five and an open-ended question as a means of measuring parent perceptions of the school.

“I didn’t know how receptive people would be to completing them,” Hurley said.

“The first night, 143 were filled out.”

Hurley estimated that there were 27 open-ended responses, one of which she brought to read to the board.

“So many times, we take the time to write the negative feedback, but we don’t take the time to write the positive feedback,” she said.

Jersey Community High School (JCHS) principal Corey Breden said it was difficult to give a participation rate for the conferences.

This is largely because of the high school not having self-contained classes, with students taking a number of different subjects with a number of different teachers.

“We had some that made

up to 50 percent of their parents come in,” he said. “We had some that don’t.”

67 JCHS teachers held conferences throughout the days.

Also during the school board meeting: Q The board approved the establishment of a tax levy.

A tax levy is an amount of money a district asks for in order to operate. It is based on the projected increase in the equalized assessed value, or the collective property value, of the total property taxable to the school district.

Q The board approved a resolution to acquire property to the west of East Elementary.

Q An overnight trip for Poms to New York has been approved for June, 2020.

Q The Threat Assessment was approved. Superintendent Brad Tuttle noted that it will now be an annual item as per the state’s requirement.

Q Keri Lakin, the special education coordinator, reported that the state has passed new laws regarding the Individual Education Program (IEP). The law requires that parents be provided with copies of materials that will be reviewed at the IEP meeting at least three days before the meeting. The district implemented the new guidelines in September, and Lakin said parents are responding well with many showing up to the meetings better prepared and with questions.

Four Disaster Loan Outreach Centers (DLOC) have opened this week to help homeowners and business owners apply for low-interest, long-term loans to assist with recovery efforts associated with the historic flood of 2019, and one such center has opened in Jersey County.

Governor JB Pritzker recently announced the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) approved his request for a disaster declaration in Alexander, Jersey, Rock Island and Stephenson counties, as well as the contiguous counties of Jo Daviess, Winnebago, Carroll, Ogle, Whiteside, Henry, Mercer, Calhoun, Greene, Macoupin, Madison, Union and Pulaski. Home and business owners in those counties are now eligible to apply for recovery loans.

SBA loans can help repair or replace damaged or destroyed real estate. Homeowners and renters can apply for loans to repair or replace damaged or destroyed personal property. Businesses and private non-profit organizations can apply for loans to repair or replace damaged or destroyed real estate, machinery and equipment, inventory and other business assets.

The center in Jersey, located at the QEM Fire District at 14905 Elsah Road in Grafton, will provide additional information and loan assistance. The center will be open from 9 a.m to 6 p.m. today, Nov. 27 to Dec. 4 excluding the days of Nov. 29 to Dec. 1. The center will last be open Dec. 5 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

The filing deadline to return applications for physical property damage is Jan 13, 2020. The deadline to return economic injury applications is August 14, 2020. Any

individual or business needing additional information, or wishing to apply for a loan, should contact the SBA Customer Service Center at 800- 659-2955.

Applicants may apply online using the Electronic Loan Application (ELA) via SBA’s secure website at DisasterLoan.sba. gov. Loan applications can also be downloaded from www.sba.gov/disaster.

For additional information and resources related to flood recovery, please visit www. ready.illinois.gov.

This announcement comes after news that the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) denied the state’s appeal for federal individual assistance to help residents in 22 counties recover from 2019’s severe storms and historic flooding along the Illinois and Mississippi rivers.

To date, the federal government has approved public assistance funding for 28 counties in Illinois. The federal public assistance program provides grants to assist state and local governments, nonprofits and houses of worship with the response and recovery costs associated with the declared disaster. Under the guidelines of the PA program, local jurisdictions can be reimbursed for up to 75 percent of eligible costs.

Based on the $61 million in losses identified during the joint preliminary damage assessment, Illinois stands to receive an estimated $45.7 million. Of that, FEMA has already obligated $1.3 million to launch the public assistance program in Illinois.

Propane (Continued from A1) Residents are urged to plan ahead by both the state and the Illinois Propane Gas Association. Propane is used to heat many homes as well as provide fuel for gas stoves.

“Being unprepared for winter weather is not just inconvenient,” Alicia TateNadeau, acting director for the Illinois Emergency Management Agency said in a press release.

In Illinois, there are more fatalities related to cold temperatures than heat, tornadoes and floods combined, according to the news release.

Everyone is encouraged to

prepare for winter today by adding a winter survival kit for your car, changing your furnace filter at home and stocking your family’s emergency supply kit.

The Illinois Propane Gas Association urges residents to be in contact with their propane suppliers in advance to ensure that their propane needs can be met.

Last of Elsah lectures enlightens public of local history

By KRIS SCHEFFEL Jersey County Journal History is nowhere near dead and gone— at least in Elsah.

Elsah’s Farley Music Hall hosted the last of its HosmerWilliams lectures this past Thursday, Nov. 14 by associate professor Caroline Kisiel from DePaul University. Her work on antislavery activism in Illinois sheds light on often unspoken truths about Illinois’ past.

Before Abraham Lincoln, and even before Elijah P. Lovejoy, Illinois grappled with the issue of slavery not in a federal context, but in a state context. Kisiel’s desire to write about travel literature led her to the discovery of some of Illinois earliest antislavery activists, Morris Birkbeck and George Flower. “Often I get asked, why or how did you get interested in this topic, because it is relatively obscure, unknown...,� she said. “My story is I was very interested in travel literature, and I wanted to understand what were the perceptions of people who were settling the United States in the early colonial period.�

Birkbeck and Flower are unique figures in Illinois history, having made their way to Illinois all the way from England to settle. As they arrived, they wrote to audiences back in England about their travels and life in Illinois. “I discovered there were a lot of British travelers to the United States in the early 19th century, and that they were very popular,� Kisiel said.

They were so popular, in fact, that Birkbeck’s two books about Illinois went through numerous editions and were translated into several languages. His ‘Notes on a Journey from the Coat of Virginia to the Territory of Illinois’ went through 11 english editions in two years and was translated into German, French and Dutch. While his

‘Letters from Illinois’ went through at least 7 english editions in its first year and was translated into French and German the following year.

These books, in addition to maps, were the only means by which immigrants could learn about their new countries. “If maps have ever caused you to dream about what a place is like, you can think back 200 years ago and think maybe someone was looking at some of these maps and dreaming ‘what could my life be like in Illinois?,’� Kisiel said.

Climate, population and the amount of land available were major factors for Birkbeck and Flower as they made their way to Illinois.

However, another factor was slavery. The Northwest Ordinance of 1787, the law under which the Illinois territory fell, made the Ohio River the dividing line between free and slave. In 1818, Illinois became a state, and formally adopted many of the laws under the ordinance including a ban on slavery.

Over 200 years later, this perception of Illinois matches what is largely taught in the classroom. Illinois, by the mid-19th century, would fight with the anti-slavery North as part of the Union Army under the leadership of President Abraham Lincoln.

Yet, as Kisiel outlines, this is not in fact the reality.

History does not so neatly fit into the boxes that memory creates. “And then in 1818, the Illinois Constitution was passed,� she said. “In Section Two, it speaks to the allowance of slavery until 1825, and that slavery was forbidden except in the tract reserved for the salt works near Shawneetown... So, in Gallatin County, slavery was allowed. “And then, Section Three says, ‘each and every person who has been bound to service shall be held to a specific performance of their con-

Seasonal (Continued from A1) every month. I think it’s gonna be a huge thing.�

Lillesve said that the city has not taken full advantage of the eagle season, but sees the SkyTour as an important first step in taking advantage of this natural beauty. “Gradually we are finding things,� she said. “I think we are (gaining momentum).�

Of course, she said, the

winter tourism season is still heavily dependent on the weather. “We’re still weather-driven, so we will have to see,� she said.

The extended season, nonetheless, continues to show much promise and growth. Lillesve said there are no special events after Dec. 7, but said the city’s tourism is up for new ideas.

tract or indentures and that children born of such person, negro or mullatto, shall become free,’ but not right away— the males at age 21 and the females at age 18.�

The exception, as many in the audience noted, was because “there were already a lot of slaves here, including in Jersey County.�

In 1824, the Illinois legislature proposed a constitutional convention to amend the 1818 constitution to permit the institution of slavery. Birkbeck and Flower along with other antislavery activists including Governor Edward Coles, fought against the introduction of slavery to Illinois and narrowly rejected the proposal. “So, the vote was statewide, and statewide, the Illinois voters voted down a convention,� Kisiel said.

In Albion, the town founded by Birkbeck and Flower, there was only a 19 vote difference between those who wanted the convention and those who did not.

Public lecturers such as Kisiel’s overturn perceptions of history as a fixed series of facts that play no role in the lives of today.

History, in particular, has seen the largest decline in enrollment at the university level according to an analysis by the American Historical Association. The midwest has been particularly hard hit, as Kisiel can attest. “You have some opposing forces happening in higher education right now,� she said. “One of the crisises that is happening right now is in enrollments... [There is a push] and that push has been in, what I think, largely science and math. Those of us who are in the humanities or the liberal arts are like, ‘Wait a minute; this is really important.’�

Elsah’s lecture series are a place in which Jersey residents engage with one another about their shared connection to the history of this area.

Feeling

Social?

Tours (Continued from A1) until 4 p.m.

Smith and others look forward to sharing the Elsah experience with others during the Home for the Holidays House Tour. “What we’ve noticed is that people love to walk the streets of Elsah just to soak in the beauty and feel the presence of Elsah’s past,�

Smith said.

For the duration of the event, a ride in a horsedrawn carriage is available as well.

The Home for the Holidays House Tour will be taking place on Dec. 7 from 12 p.m. until 4 p.m. Tickets are available for $15 ahead of the day and $18 on the day.

Tickets can be found on the Historic Elsah Foundation’s website or the Alton Visitors Center, My Just Desserts, the Elsah General Store, Green Tree Inn or Maple Leaf Cottage in Elsah.

Kisiel believes that lectures like these are key to bridging the gap that has emerged in civil discourse. “I know where some people are coming from, but not everyone,� she said. “So, it’s really interesting to hold a space and step back into time and look into the history and find out what people were thinking about back then...� “It kind of frames it in a more neutral way, because you are not talking about today’s issues, but you can look at the history and then you go, ‘well what does this mean for us?�

Kisiel’s lecture marked the end of the Hosmer-Williams lecturers for 2019, but the series will return in 2020. The lectures are free to the public and include refreshments afterward. More information can be found of the Historic Elsah Foundation’s website.

Our VIEWS

Festival volunteers should be commended, followed

The issue: Downtown Country Christmas takes a lot of effort to put on Our view: Those that do volunteer should be followed by others

Publisher/Advertising Director: Nichole Liehr nliehr@campbellpublications.net

T

he date for Jerseyville’s big Christmas festival, Downtown Country Christmas, is on the horizon, and now seems a good a time as any to stress the importance of volunteers to events like this one.

It was reported that Downtown Country Christmas has seen several new faces this year in comparison to previous years. These new faces, included with those returning again after working prior years to make sure the festival happened, should be applauded for their efforts. More than that, though, they should be the standard.

This should be the standard for any and all volunteer work in the community to benefit the community, but it should especially be the case for Downtown Country Christmas, an event that draws in thousands of dollars in business to Jerseyville and one that many in the community likely look forward to and participate in.

Despite the individuals that have already dedicated their personal time to put on an event like this, it was stressed by organizers that this did not mean there was a glut of volunteer efforts for the event this year.

Organizers accentuated the importance of the volunteering hands especially on the day of the daylong festivities. Despite the number of people already helping, organizers with Downtown Country Christmas are still calling for support to help set up and teardown for the event. They are especially looking for those willing help teardown for the event.

The teardown is a large undertaking because of the sheer size of the event and the timeline by which they have to get the stuff off the streets for traffic to roll on through on what is a major through road for traffic.

It seems strange an event that has become an expected staple of the season in this community is continually in need of volunteers. Residents should all be willing to have add a helping hand for what could amount to a sliver of work.

Without these efforts by these volunteers, the volunteer dependent events simply do not happen.

We call on area folks to see those that have already volunteered so far to make Downtown Country Christmas as an example of true community-mindedness — an attribute for which many in the community likely see as a plus to Jerseyville.

This is the season of giving, and while your carving a turkey for the holiday, consider giving your time a couple days later to make Downtown Country Christmas possible, or volunteer in some other meaningful way in the community.

These efforts are not overlooked.

Those interested in volunteering can call the Jersey County Business Association at 618-6395222.

Eslah founder’s family led interesting lives L

ast week, I shared the story of James Semple, who after a successful political career, platted Elsah and lived out his life in southern Jersey County.

This week, I want to share some information regarding his children, who also led quite interesting lives.

When James and his second wife, Mary, moved to Jersey County in 1853, they did so with four of their children: Ada, Lucy Virginia, Eugene, and Julia.

Ada, the oldest of the four, married St. Louis businessman Napoleon Mulliken in December 1854 in her parents’ home, Trevue. Many guests from St. Louis made the journey via steamship.

When the ship became stuck on a sandbar, Ada sat in her wedding finery for 24 hours, waiting for their arrival.

Perhaps it was an omen of what lie ahead – Ada passed away three years later at age 23.

James and Mary’s son, Eugene, attended St. Louis University, studied law and then moved to Oregon, where he served as the editor and publisher of the Portland Daily Herald. Like his father, he entered politics and served as 13th governor of Washington Territory. In 1887, he granted women the right to vote. The Washington Supreme Court declared the law unconstitutional shortly thereafter.

Julia, James and Mary’s youngest, lived with her aunt in St. Louis when she was a teenager and graduated from Visitation Academy.

She married St. Louis businessman Ashley D. Scott.

Julia and James were members of St. Louis elite society. Their daughters were debutantes, and their sons Semple and Ashley Jr. built Missouri’s first bus in 1898. The electric bus carried eight passengers.

James and Mary Semple’s daughter, Lucy Virginia, retained the closest ties to Jersey County. She married Edgar Ames, one of St. Louis’ most prominent and wealthy merchants, in 1860.

He passed away seven years later, leaving Lucy to raise their four children.

After his death, Lucy managed his many businesses, which included St. Louis’ Lindell Hotel, banking and insurance companies, a sugar refinery, a grain elevator and steamship lines.

Lucy was a strong supporter of women’s rights and became known as “The Queen of St. Louis.”

Lucy lived at 3624 Lindell Boulevard in St. Louis but had a summer home built atop the cliffs overlooking Elsah in 1871. The 20-room stone home, built in the style of an English castle, commanded an impressive view of the Mississippi River amid two cliffs. It was called Notch Cliff.

Stone stairs graced the front of the home and led to a grand hall. On the right of the hall was a drawing room carpeted with green velvet. The furniture was upholstered in green satin.

Folding doors in the drawing room led to the library,

or nearly 20 years I have made my way to the barn during rifle season.

It’s an easy place to go while enjoying so much. I park on one side, climb up the ladder, and walk to the other side where I’m sitting right now.

At the moment, I’m penning this article while being warmed by my Buddy Heater, having just finished my small thermos of coffee. My seat is cushy and provides a good perch to watch the marginal eight-pointer mark the low-lying tree branch on the edge of the field. My boots are croc sandals, and an old pair of camouflage overalls are covering my blue jeans.

This week the bucks are chasing doe, and while this is not the best area to see a big deer, it won’t be unusual if a stray shows up within the range of my rifle. My little field that is just above me is struggling to push up her winter peas because of the earlier drought, but she is doing enough to draw a daily portion of deer to her boundary.

One of us sits in luxury and comfort while watching the others languish from difficulty.

The juxtaposition is glaring. It is also a stark reminder of real life.

While some may try to give a credible answer, there really is no rhyme or reason why some individuals seem to have less difficulties than others. And sometimes the distance between the two is as short as it is between my luxury, barn, box seat, and the field I watch. We have tried to tell people God “blesses” those who do good, but we all know some of the most “blessed” people are those who never think about God. We also know trouble can sure find a way into the lives of some good people. A tornado hits and saves one home, and the owner is quick to thank God for the “blessing.”

Guest Column

BY BETH MCGLASSON which opened to a wide veranda with another beautiful view of the Mississippi.

On the other side of the hall was the dining room and conservatories. A billiard room was located below.

The home was the scene of brilliant firework displays, grand dinners and elegant parties.

In 1911, when Lucy was scheduled to visit her summer home, a caretaker lit a fire to dry out the home. A faulty flue caused the fire to spread, and the magnificent home was soon ablaze.

A group of men from Elsah saved a valuable collection of European paintings and art, but the home sustained $100,000 in damage and was a total loss.

Today, Principia College’s Notch Cliff apartments sit where Notch Cliff once sat.

Her neighbor’s house is destroyed. Was she not as “blessed?”

I think when we apply this thinking, it moves us to a place we shouldn’t go – the place where some “deserve” things while other don’t. This Outdoor is never good because Truths it always causes us to compare ourselves to

BY GARY someone else.

MILLER Again, this is never good, and it’s not of God. The truth about life is this. God has created the world to operate a certain way, and when we (anyone) works in conjunction with this design, he is, more often than not, blessed.

When we go against this design, we (everyone) usually suffer. The other part of this is simply unknown. Her house was not saved because she was more blessed than the one whose house was destroyed, but her house was saved, and the other house was destroyed because God wants to show his handiwork in each of their lives but in different ways. And the reason you are where you are, is not because you are so much better or so much worse than your neighbor or friend.

It’s because God loves you and has a unique plan for your life – one that will bring about the most good for you and for those who God has put to watch.

JCHS Girls Basketball clinch Alton Tournament victory Jersey Girls Basketball played a great game on Saturday, Nov. 23 against Breese Central, winning the Alton Tournament 45-28. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I thought our intensity on defense, rebounds and loose balls was tremendous,â&#x20AC;? Coach Kevin Strebel said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That type of effort has to be our routine.â&#x20AC;?

This was one of two back to back wins for the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; the first against Mater Dei on Friday. Strebel said that the wins were representative of the teamsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; toughness and resiliency after suffering a loss the Tuesday prior against Springfield Lanphier. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They did a complete rever-

sal in our two areas of weakness in that first game â&#x20AC;&#x201D; turning the ball over and rebounding,â&#x20AC;? Strebel said of Saturdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s game. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We really went after every rebound and loose ball, and when we gained possession, we worked for good shots on our end of the floor.â&#x20AC;?

The team was lead in scoring by Abby Manns with 15 points and an added 14 points

by Clare Breden. No one on the opposing team, Strebel said, was able to convert more than two shot from the floor.

Breese Central was led by Ella Jansenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s seven points.

Strebel said that every member of the ten-player ros-

ter contributed, giving their all.

Lauren Brown, Clare Breden and Abby Manns were named to the All-Tournament Team.

During the tournament, Strebel said Breden received a lot of defensive attention by opponents, but still managed to be the leading scorer in the tournament. She was named Tournament MVP.

Caregivers: How to manage a loved oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s money The number of retirees is on the rise. Data from the U.S. Census Bureau points out that, by 2030, there will be 81.2 million Americans over age 65, and many of them will need help taking care of themselves.

Caregiving is a big responsibility. One crucial role caregivers may take on involves managing a loved oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s finances. AARP states that acting as a money manager becomes especially important if a loved one begins having trouble keeping a checkbook or becomes confused about money. The Family Caregiver AllianceÂŽ indicates millions of Americans are managing money or property for a family member or friend who is unable to pay bills or make financial decisions.

Juggling oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s own finances and the responsibilities of another personâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s money can take its toll. Here are several ways to navigate these often tricky waters.

Q Discuss plans in advance. Have conversations even before an aging loved one needs caregiving. Talking through difficult topics when parents are healthy can simplify decisions later on.

Q Open a joint account.

Joint back accounts make it easier for caregivers to manage loved onesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; money if the person becomes physically or mentally incapacitated.

When necessary, you can step in as a money manager to pay bills, make deposits and withdrawals and monitor account balances.

Q Make legal fiduciary changes. AARP suggests drawing up legal documents to manage all financial accounts. A power of attorney is a legal document in which one person assigns another the power to make financial decisions on their behalf. This also protects family interests, so that another relative like a sibling, who may want his or her share of a loved oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s money, will not have access.

Documenting fiduciary changes in the letter of the law can serve as a measure of protection against potential problems.

Q Put your priorities first.

You may end up running yourself emotionally and financially ragged catering to a loved oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s needs.

According to a 2015 study from the National Alliance for Caregiving, an estimated 43.4 million American adults provide unpaid care to an adult or child. Taking repeated time off of work or paying for loved onesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; needs out of your own pocket can take its financial toll. Do not take on unmanageable debt.

Q Ask for help. Speak with a financial advisor and/ or elder care attorney about the best ways to manage a loved oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s money to ensure an aging parent or child will

be provided for. Arranging assets in certain ways can make individuals eligible for certain benefits.

Managing money is just one of the many tasks associated with being a caregiver.
