Council declares Hartmann’s seat vacant

By ROBERT LYONS Jersey County Journal

The Jerseyville city council voted Thursday morning to declare the accounts and finance commissioner position vacant, after officeholder Yvonne Hartmann was deemed ineligible to serve.

Hartmann is liable for outstanding taxes on properties in Jerseyville, which according to Illinois law makes her “not eligible to hold municipal office…”

After a closed session lasting just more than 20 minutes Thursday, the council, minus Hartmann, unanimously approved declaring the position vacant. Hartmann was not present for the meeting.

“The statute is straightforward and clearly stated,” Mayor Richard Perdun said, prior to the council’s vote. “As unfortunate as this is, we as a council have to acknowledge the accounts and finance commissioner is not qualified, or eligible to act, as stated by Illinois

law.”

Yvonne Hartmann’s husband, Robert Hartmann, spoke during the public comment portion of the meeting. Robert Hartmann accused the mayor of trying to get his wife

“The statute is straightforward and clearly stated.”

Richard Perdun Jerseyville Mayor removed from the council for personal reasons.

“That is not true. There’s nothing personally wrong with me and Yvonne,” Perdun said. “She’s a fine lady. I think you’re her problem.”

Robert Hartmann alleged an occupancy ordinance, which has been discussed by the council for more than year-and-a-half, may be at the heart

Parading

of a fallout.

“You don’t think it had anything to do with Yvonne bringing up the fact that [the council members] weren’t provided the information to act on the occupancy ordinance,” Robert Hartmann said.

“I don’t understand why this occupancy ordinance has got anything to do with this meeting right now,” Perdun said. “You’re out of context.”

After the taxes owed by Yvnonne Hartmann were brought to the council’s attention during the Oct. 29 regular meeting, the city’s attorney, George Wittman, researched the issue and found deeds to three properties with outstanding taxes in Robert and Yvonne Hartmann’s name.

Several other properties with 3 Scotties, LLC, listed as owner also have taxes in arrears. According to secretary of state records, Yvonne Hartmann is the agent of 3 Scotties, LLC, with the Hartmanns’ home address listed as the principal office.

Wittman, in a letter of his findings,

however, stated he did not research whether Yvonne Hartmann’s being the sole member of the LLC jeopardizes her position with the city.

The three properties with back taxes bearing her name were enough to require the council to take action.

“This is not an opinion I enjoy giving, in any way, shape or form,”

Mayor to appoint new council member

By STAFF REPORT Jersey County Journal Jerseyville Mayor Richard Perdun will be tasked with appointing a new member to the city council following Yvonne Hartmann’s departure.

Hartmann’s seat was declared vacant during a special council meeting Thursday, Nov. 7. State statute dictates that with less than 28 months remaining on Hartmann’s four-year term, the mayor must appoint a qualified person

On Friday, Perdun said he has a short list of candidates but will meet with the rest of the council members individually to find someone they can all agree on.

The city council met Tuesday, but the mayor said it was too soon to seat a new commissioner, as the issue would have been required to be on the agenda Friday. He anticipates the appointment will be made at the following meeting, on Nov. 26.

Joan Cope watches the Veterans Day parade Monday morning under her star spangled umbrella in Jerseyville. The annual parade included local veterans, Boy Scouts, a 20-man flag and the JCHS marching band. Cope's son, Alan Shook, is an Army veteran.

A 15-year-old Jerseyville boy put his own safety in jeopardy Saturday to help a senior citizen and her two dogs.

T.J. Griffith pulled a pit bull off a 66-year-old woman who had been bitten by the dog, which was attacking the woman’s own two dogs.

“It scares me what could have happened to him or her. But, he saw the dog attacking the other dogs and the woman and he went to help her,” Jerseyville Police Chief Brad Blackorby said. “That dog could have turned on him just the same. But, he saw the situation and he either makes a phone call for help or he takes action with his own hands, and that’s what he did. It worked out.

“It was a brave thing that he did,” Blackorby added.

Griffith said he was on his back porch Saturday morning when he noticed a pit bull had wandered up and was interacting with his husky. Then he saw a lady walking two dogs. Even before the situation turned dangerous, Griffith said he tried to corral the stray dog, but to no avail.

“He bolted off after the older lady and he tackled her into the ditch,” Griffith said. “I pried its jaws off the other two little dogs

she was walking.”

The woman was bitten on the hand, and sought medical treatment after the incident.

“Her shoulder was hurt because she just had surgery on it,” Griffith said.

Blackorby said the pit bull was going after the woman’s dogs, and the woman attempted to protect her pets.

“It made a difference, I’m sure,” Blackorby said. “He may have saved her dog and possibly her from getting bit anymore.”

Once Griffith got the attacking dog removed from the woman and her dogs, the pit bull was not aggressive toward the boy.

Griffith said he realizes the situation could have turned out much worse than it did, but he couldn’t sit idly by during the incident.

“I didn’t want to see her get hurt,” Griffith said. “When you see an elderly lady walking down the street and you see a dog run after her, that doesn’t seem too good. I wasn’t going to let the dog just attack her.”

The pit bull was taken by Jerseyville animal control, who identified the owner of the dog.

The status of the animal could not be confirmed at press time.

Griffith is a sophomore at Jersey Community High School.

County treasurer Stine and ‘stache: Local woodworker explains distribution wins award for mustache from AMI of public safety funds

By ROBERT LYONS Jersey County Journal Jersey County board member John Houseman questioned the treasurer as to why public safety tax money commingled with money in the general fund budget during a regular meeting Nov. 12.

Prior to approving the budget, Houseman said the public safety tax approved by a referendum in 2010 was created to generate funds for emergency services in the county, and the money may only be used for that purpose. He said some of the public safety tax money is sent into the general fund on occasion and questioned Treasurer Gib Ashlock why there is such a practice.

Ashlock said the money is initially wired from the state into the county’s general fund in a line designated as clearing. He said after it is put into that fund, he cuts a check to the public safety tax fund where the money remains until it needs to be spent. Some of the money is spent out of that fund, he said, but some of it is also sent to the county general fund where it is used to pay for other emergency services.

“The budget calls for me to transfer ‘X’ number of dollars, whatever you approve,

and that’s what I transfer every year, whatever you approve in the budget process,” Ashlock said.

The treasurer said he moves the money because it makes his job easier to pay for certain services out of the fund and others out of county general due to

By BOB CROSSEN Jersey County Journal

After a three-day road trip to eight cities gearing up for the Stache Bash in Pittsburgh, a woodworker from Dow took home the Robert Goulet Award from the American Mustache Institute (AMI).

Dave Stine of Dow was a co-winner of the award, and this was the first year two individuals tied for the award which is won based on a popular vote to determine who has a mustache which best represents the “Mustached American community,” according to the AMI website.

Though Stine is not certain how he was nominated, he believes his friend Aaron Perlut, former president of AMI, put him into the running.

“He and I do stuff together from time to time. Our kids go to school together and I think he just thought it would be funny,” Stine, who has since grown the mustache out to a beard, said. “I think it’s even funnier that I won.”

Stine makes furniture on his family farm in Dow. He harvests trees from family-owned land, lugs it back to his workshop where he processes it to make tables, chairs and other pieces of furniture.

The co-recipient of the award was Montgomery County Pennsylvania Clerk Bruce Hanes, a military veteran who fought against the Keystone state’s antigay marriage ban by issuing marriage licenses to same-sex couples, believing the state’s Marriage Act to be unconstitutional.

Dave Stine was one of two recipients of the Robert Goulet Mustache award issued by the American Mustache Institute during is annual 'Stache Bash, a celebration of the mustached American lifestyle. The award is given to those who best represent the mustached American community.

Additional nominees for the award were American NHL player Mike Brown who plays for the San Jose Sharks, minor league baseball pitcher Bryan Harper and fictional anchorman Ron Burgundy, portrayed by actor Will Ferrell.

With a wry smile and a laugh, Stine said the award was the pinnacle of his career, though he was not aware he won the award until he got to the ‘Stache Bash in Pittsburgh, which is “AMI’s annual costume-heavy celebration of the

sexually dynamic Mustached American lifestyle,” according to the AMI website.

He and Perlut took a road trip to seven cities –St. Louis, Nashville, Louisville, Cincinnati, Indianapolis, Columbus, and Cleveland – on the way to the annual mustache party in Pittsburgh thrown by AMI. Stine said he got a sponsor for the trip and took his work van with ‘Stache Bash graphics and other logos planted on the side.

Plans presented for intersection improvement

By SAM ELLIOTT Jersey County Journal The Jerseyville City Council heard preliminary plans for substantial improvements to the intersection of Illinois Route 109 and County Road at its latest meeting Tuesday at city hall.

The project will be partially paid for with CMAQ — the Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality Improvement Program — and motor fuel tax funds.

“If anybody travels through there from about 2:30 p.m. to 6 p.m., you know it’s pretty much bottlenecked coming up 109 going north. It’s stop-and-go traffic with just a flashing red light and traffic backs up daily,” commissioner Andy Macias said. “To help alleviate that and improve that intersection, we’re going to spend some money and improve that with a signalized intersection.”

The CMAQ grant money is federal funds designated for projects that will improve air quality and reduce transportation-related emissions. The project at Highway 109 and County Road was awarded $440,000, leaving an estimated total local share of $514,879.80.

“We’ve been saving up money for these kinds of projects,” Macias said. “We’ll have the money and we’ll be budgeting the money for the next two council years.”

Construction isn’t planned to begin on the project until 2015.

“It’ll be spread out over two years at least, but you have to plan these things ahead of time so you can keep things moving,” Macias said. “I

like people to be aware of what we have in the works.”

Curt Westrich, project manager at Heneghan and Associates, presented a preliminary summary of the project to the council Tuesday. The majority of improvements will be made along Highway 109.

“On northbound 109, there’s going to be a leftturn lane added with about 200 feet of storage,” Westrich said. “There will be a left-turn lane also on southbound 109 with 150 feet of storage for cars. Because of adding the left-turn lanes, the road is going to be widened. The widening is going to be on the west side of 109.”

A concrete curb, gutter, and storm sewer will also be added along Highway 109 where improvements will be made — as will a sidewalk stretching from the intersection to Essex Street.

“There are also going to be improvements on West County Road. There will be an eastbound, right-turn lane with about 160 feet of storage for cars to turn right,” Westrich said. “In the mornings when everybody’s trying to head out of town, they’ll be able to use a right-turn lane to get through that intersection. That’ll improve traffic flow there definitely.”

County Road will be widened on its south side to make room for the added right-turn lane.

Work on the final design of the project will begin this month, Westrich estimated, if the contract is awarded. Design studies, revisions, an Environmental Survey Review and preliminary project development report will all have to be completed before final construction plans could be approved in August 2014.

“Final plans for the project could be submitted in March 2015 and then we anticipate it to be out for bids in June of 2015,” Westrich said. “The construction would start a couple months after that in August. The construction should go about six months we anticipate, and be completed in January of 2016.”

In other business, the council approved the estimate of the city’s tax levy.

“There are five line items that were adjusted upward. The largest increase was the library — it went up $31,550,” Mayor Richard Perdun said.

“The library is its own taxing body and we do not control it at all.”

The audit expense was raised $1,000, the retirement fund was increased $5,000, police pensions were increased by $12,000 and fire pensions increased $11,282.

“The total amount of tax is $1,574,332 and that will be a 4.0193-percent increase,” Perdun said.

“That’s the estimate.”

In other business, the council: n Approved the minutes of its last regular meeting. n Approved the minutes of special meetings on Friday, Nov. 1, and Thursday, Nov. 7. n Approved the list of bills as presented. n Approved the resignation of Debra Hotz, a retiring police dispatcher who began with the Jerseyville Police Department in 1991. n Approved the resignation of Bruce Bland, who is retiring from the Water and Sewer Department. n Approved internal advertising to fill the vacancy of a water plant operator.

Outdoor sporting goods store to open in Jerseyville

By BOB CROSSEN Jersey County Journal Hunters may not have to look outside Jerseyville for their equipment in the near future with the establishment of an outdoor sporting goods store on South State Street.

Bob Jones, owner of Outrageous Outdoors, – the tentative name of the sporting goods store located in the former Marshal Buick GMC dealership on State Street –said the building was a good fit for the business.

“It was a good fit at a good time,” Jones, who worked at Discount House for 15 years, said. “I didn’t want to see another vacant building in Jerseyville.”

After Marshall Buick GMC moved from the location to the south

Funds

(Continued from A1) salary,” Ashlock said, noting 911 employees have eight line items.

“It would mean every time we do payroll we’d have to find a way to make them tell us how much to take out of public safety.”

Ferguson said because he knows how much money is paid out of the general fund with the public safety dollars, it should not become a problem to do the same from the public safety fund. Ashlock said some employees would have to be paid with public safety money and others would not because the fund cannot fully support all emergency services, but rather is a complement to other funds.

“So, basically, we’re financing a lion’s share of the sheriff’s department and 911 from public safety, but we’re doing it from the general fund,” Ferguson said.

Ashlock said without earmarking expenses it would be difficult to tell exactly how much money was issued to certain employees from public safety.

Chairman Jerry Wittman said without transferring the money to pay for some of the safety expenses in the general fund, taxes would “have to be raised a considerable amount.”

“That’s not what anybody wants, either. The people voted that in to hold taxes down, and that’s what we’re doing,” Wittman said.

Ferguson said the referendum was approved under the condition the money would be specifically used for public safety services, and by commingling the money in the general fund and public safety tax

end of town, where it also began selling the Chevrolet vehicles, Jones said he wanted to promote business development in Jerseyville, and took it upon himself to fill the building.

With the help of son, Brandon Jones, daughter, Blaine Jones, and wife, Kim Jones, he said members of his family have all contributed to opening the store.

The store will be heavily focused on hunting equipment, he said, noting the business will sell guns, ammunition, bows and other items hunters look for regularly.

Depending on demand and space, Jones said offering equipment for traditional sports – baseball, soccer and football – is still up in the air, as is a timeline to have the business open.

“Right now hunting and fishing,

definitely,” Jones said. “We’ve only got the front part of the building right now.”

Jones said he wanted to open the store at the beginning of November to cater immediately to hunting seasons, but was unable to complete all the work he wanted done for that timeline.

Jones also plans to teach concealed carry classes at the business.

He said there are not many locations in the area that offer the classes, and after training to become an instructor during the summer, he felt he could offer the classes to the community. He said safety is of utmost importance in the classes, which also teach participants about the consequences of shooting an individual in self-defense.

“I like to see people get trained,” Jones said. “A lot of people do the classes and don’t do the training. …

We teach you how to legally, morally, financially, and emotionally survive in a defensive gun use. It’s gonna cost you, but I’d rather see people alive than dead.”

Part of the classes require time at a shooting range, and though Jones said he has interest in the outdoor sporting goods store having a shooting range, he must first look into the financial feasibility of offering such a range.

He said he does not have a set opening date for the business, but when the doors are opened, he said he will wait to have a grand opening so his inventory is prepared.

fund, distinguishing which money is which, is not possible.

The chairman said the auditor would take issue with the process if the money was not being used for its intended purpose. Ashlock said the auditors told him to have the money wired into the clearing line item and then into the public safety tax fund, so there is a paper trail of where the money has gone.

He said he has pink vouchers for the money he transfers to the general fund from public safety which designates that money to be used for emergency services.

The board approved the budget with all voting Yes except Ferguson who voted No. Tony Carey did not vote because he was

not present.

In other business, the board: n Approved an appellate prosecutor’s resolution which handles the county’s appeals for $7,000. n Approved a resolution to send additional money from fines for misdemeanors, felonies and traffic cases to the special advocates fund from the circuit clerk. Court appointed special advocates deal with children involved in some of the crimes in the county. n Approved Gib Ashlock to cast a ballot for the IMRF fund on behalf of the county with the board’s authority. n Approved a University of Illinois Extension resolution expressing the county will give

$31,700 to the agency for use with matching funds elsewhere. n Approved to pay the county engineer $88,209 with $2,000 in expenses. The salary was increased by 3.5 percent from the previous year to stay in line with other county employee raises.

County approves temporarily filling vacancy of suspended employee

By BOB CROSSEN Jersey County Journal The Jersey County board unanimously approved to temporarily fill the vacancy of a suspended employee during its regular meeting Nov. 12, where more than 30 people sat in attendance.

After 40 minutes in closed session, the board approved to appoint Cindy Craigmiles “to fill a temporary vacancy for the county.” The position filled is held by an employee who was suspended during a regular meeting Oct. 8, pending an internal investigation.

The employee’s name has not been released by the county, nor was the

Vacant (Continued from A1) everyone in this town knows that I’ve been sick. I haven’t been able to work – that’s why the taxes weren’t paid.”

Yvonne Hartmann submitted a letter of resignation earlier in the week, effective Jan. 1, 2014, and Robert Hartmann wanted to know why the council didn’t simply honor the resignation.

“All she did was ask for until January 1st to get her insurance in order,” Robert Hartmann said, noting the post-dated resignation was submitted based on the advice of their private legal counsel.

Wittman said the way the statutes are written, he doesn’t believe a post-dated resignation was an option.

“I read that as saying the person resigning has to be eligible to be acting as a commissioner,” Wittman

said. “If this [resignation] was accepted, she would still be acting during that period of time. Under the state statute, she’s not eligible to be commissioner.”

Robert Hartmann stated several times he was not attempting to practice law, but said the opinion of his private legal counsel was that Yvonne Hartmann could date her resignation as effective up to 60 days into the future. However, he said his lawyer was unable to attend Thursday’s meeting to argue the point.

“He was advised as of Tuesday of this week that he cannot represent her as long as she is commissioner because he’s representing other individuals which are in process of a suit against the city. Because then he’s basically in conflict,” Robert Hartmann said. “After she’s dismissed, he can represent her.”

exact position, but rather Craigmiles will be filling a temporary vacancy in the county code administrator’s office.

The employee was initially suspended without pay, but during a special meeting Oct. 23, pay was restored to the employee while the suspension was extended in a contested vote with Roger Newberry and John Houseman voting against the measure and Jeff Ferguson abstaining.

After the meeting Oct. 23, board chairman Jerry Wittman said the county’s insurance provider would conduct its own investigation due to liability concerns during the extended suspension, which will last the length of the investigation.

City business and personal affairs conflict on council

Publisher and Editor: Julie Boren

The Issue: Council declares seat vacant Our View: Leads must contribute fair share

Regional Editor: Robert Lyons

t’s not illegal, immoral or otherwise wrong to be in arrears on taxes. But, common sense, ethical standards and the law dictate an elected official should not owe money to the government body he or she is serving.

State statute clearly states an elected officeholder cannot be in arrears on taxes or in debt to the municipality for which he or she serves. Jerseyville’s city attorney, after researching the issue, gave an opinion that Yvonne Hartmann, former commissioner of accounts and finances for the city of Jerseyville, is not eligible to serve. So, the city council acted accordingly and declared her seat vacant.

Hartmann owes back taxes from 2011 (which were payable in 2012) on more than a dozen properties, six of which are in line to be forfeited to the county if they are not paid next year. Though many of those properties have been transferred to a limited liability corporation (LLC), the alderwoman’s name appears as the primary agent for the LLC, leaving her liable for the taxes.

The position of accounts and finance commissioner oversees all of the city’s budgeting, appropriations and other business related to the management of city funds. More than 11 percent of the money in back taxes is revenue the city has been denied.

It’s an unfortunate situation for the councilwoman who was devoted to the city, and may be unfortunate for the citizens.

But, in this instance, personal affairs affects city business.

Hartmann had a long tenure as a city employee, mayor and alderman. She was integral in many of the city’s endeavors over the past several decades. With Hartmann as the commissioner of accounts and finances, the city received a clean bill of health during its regular audits, which could have been difficult during the recent economical struggles that have affected so many other entities.

We applaud Hartmann’s dedication to the city and thank her for her service, but it was time to step away from city business, at least until she can get her own in order.

The Red Flag Restaurant I

struggled to find a lead to this true story about my family on our road trip out to Wyoming to visit my uncle when I was around 8 years old, so I won’t belabor it. This is my family’s story of the Red Flag Restaurant.

It was late that night in South Dakota where exits for gas, let alone food, are hundreds of miles apart.

Shaking from the hunger growling in our stomachs, we stopped at a gas station for directions and my mother asked the attendant for a good place to eat.

With a finger directed out the glass window, he motioned across the street to a small brown building where my mom was told the restaurant served “anything you want in a dish.” This was the first red flag, but delirious from our starvation, we trucked across the street for some grub.

The floor was slick and there may as well have been tumbleweeds rolling through the desolate room with several tables under which stood creaky wooden chairs. The lone waitress sat us at a circular table where I faced away from the glass window looking out across the street at our disheveled van and the gas station.

And as the woman laid half-

washed silverware – red flag number two – on the table, she looked my dad square in the eyes and asked, “Do you really want to eat here?”

Now, any reasonable human would have left the establishment at this point. But clouded by our hunger and for the sake of this true story, we did eat there.

My brother, Ben, is a picky eater.

He always has been and even at 24 years old he only eats his cheeseburgers plain, and that was the same case the fateful day at the red flag restaurant in South Dakota.

With the sandwich almost to his mouth, a gangly man in a camouflage shirt and hat walked into the restaurant, the jingle of a bell alerting us to his presence. My brother was immediately entranced by the man’s lengthy mullet, the greasy strands shimmering in the dull glow of the overhead lights. Staring endlessly at this majestic work of art, Ben twisted himself in his seat to observe the unkempt masterpiece until he fell out of his chair.

During the tumble, he squeezed the buns of the burger together so hard the patty propelled itself out from between the buns like a rocket, landing on the greasy floor where my dad said the disc of meat slid “like a hockey puck on ice.”

Ben wailed from Err on the the fall while my mother tended to side of his bruises. My dad Crossen chased the burger

BY BOB across the restau- CROSSEN rant where he began dusting it off with napkins from another table, and I just sat there amazed by those flowing, hypnotic locks while I ate my cool hotdog – yet another red flag.

We didn’t stay much longer, but Ben insisted he take his burger in a take-away box at my parents reluctance. But before hitting the road, my dad decided to have a few words with the attendant who began our journey with his strange advice.

And a little ways down the highway after filling up for gas while Ben was fast asleep, my dad questioned why my mom took advice from the attendant in the first place as he launched Ben’s burger out the window.

“The guy has ONE tooth,” my dad said, noting he heard it rolling around when talking to the man, “and I’m pretty sure it was a Chicklet!”

The last-minute Vacation W

e’ve all been there. We’ve all done it. The summer is flying past and school is approaching. We want to have that one, last bit of summer fun; the kind our kids and grandkids will remember for a lifetime.

We’ve done every possible activity that is offered locally and within a decent driving distance. What now?

Enter in the last-minute summer vacation.

When I was a child, August was our vacation month; the month I identified with having a “real vacation.”

August was the month my aunt from Witt, Illinois packed up the kids and the car and drove the twelve hour distance to Coudersport, Pennsylvania and back again to Witt, with my brother, my Grandmother Moore, and I in tow. From there, we did all kinds of fun, kid-themed summer activities. We went to the library, the park (my favorite was watching my cousin, Bryan, shoot off his homemade rockets in the field around the Witt School), enrolled in Lincoln Land Community College’s summer kid’s program, or, took that last vacation somewhere fun. On such summers we drove to North and South Dakota, Texas, New Mexico, Virginia, Georgia, Florida, Wisconsin, New Hampshire, Maine, and Vermont. On the Texas vacation, we even went for a day trip over the border into Mexico! That was when you did not have to have a passport to leave the country for an afternoon outing. I’ve been to NASA Space Center in Florida and the Alamo in Texas, just to name a few of the places we’ve visited over the years in our “last-minute” tours.

This is back when there was no such thing as a GPS. We had a car atlas. Everyone who traveled had one. In fact, my aunt still owns a car atlas. It’s somewhere in her van in case the GPS doesn’t work properly. That old car atlas has seen a lot of states and a lot of roads and a lot of places. It’s even got us lost once or twice. We’ve missed exits, gone down wrong roads, and even had to do a mile or more worth of backtracking, but, in the end, it’s always got us home.

Sounds like a GPS, doesn’t it?

My grandmother, who often traveled with us, never left home without her AAA membership card. AAA was a big thing back then. It gave you discounts on your

hotels—as long as you stayed at a hotel that accepted AAA members—and gave car assistance if your car happened to break down. To this day, I’m glad we had no such problems. Instead, we suffered two flat tires, both in New Mexico. Spanish mission sites seemed to be our bane (curse). We would go to one, spend about an hour on the grounds, and return only to find that another nail had punctured one of our tires. This happened so many times, at so many different missions, that we finally gave up and stopped visiting them. Once, we were forced to drive back to town in the middle of a severe storm from a high mesa. We had a spare on the car, a tiny tire, and it held until we were safely off of that high plateau. I remember trying to get pictures of the lightening as it streaked past us towards the ground. I was a kid and didn’t realize that the terrible lights we saw as we descended into the valley were not the Northern Lights but a terrible storm raging around us. Thankfully, we reached town before the worst part of the storm hit, and were able to find an auto repair shop to fix our badly impaled tire.

Last-minute-vacations are hairy, to be sure, but are worth every effort. Even though we did get caught in that storm, we saw a truly awesome Spanish mission and learned some interesting local history. Our car wasn’t damaged, we were fine, and the next day we went our way, none the worse for wear.

If you are thinking about taking a vacation this year, go ahead and do it. Pack up the car, the kids, the dog, and go. Take along your GPS and your road atlas. Enjoy the fact that you are with your family and that they, in turn, want to be with you. Make the effort. Take the time. Years from now, you too may have harrowing tales to tell, but there will always be that rainbow that comes after the storm is over. There is nothing that can replace the time spent with your family.

I wish you good travels and a safe journey to the end and back again!

Jerseyville, Illinois

‘Attics and Closets’ to benefit new homeowners The Alton Habitat for Humanity chapter is in the process of renovating an existing home for a fortunate local family. With that end in mind, they are hosting their first “Attics, Closets and Crafts Sale” on Saturday, Nov. 16, from 8 a.m. until 2 p.m. The sale will take place at The Learning Center (formerly St. Patrick’s School) at 1004 East 5th Street in Alton. All proceeds from the sale will support the group’s current renovation project.

The mission of the group, says

President Val Harris, “is dedicated to making adequate, affordable housing a matter of conscience and action in the greater Alton area.” The members work diligently to assist in providing housing, with the support of a variety of local entities, including the City of Alton, YouthBuild (in conjunction with Lewis and Clark Community College), the Women’s Missionary Union of Illinois (Southern Baptist Convention) and numerous volunteers.

The Alton chapter provides housing

opportunities for families in the Alton/ Godfrey area, as well as Jersey County residents.

Items available for sale include prom and formal dresses; women’s clothing and a large assortment of purses; numerous baby items, including clothing and toys; dishes, electronics and much more. In addition, a variety of local crafters and vendors will have products for purchase. Light snacks and beverages will also be available for purchase throughout the

day.

The Alton Habitat group is also raffling an adorable, 8’ x 8’ children’s playhouse, complete with operable windows and electricity. The playhouse was constructed by the YouthBuild program students from Lewis and Clark College. The YouthBuild program is housed at the old St. Patrick’s site. It will be available for viewing, during the sale, and raffle tickets will be available for purchase. They are $10 each or 3/$25. The drawing for the

winner will be held on Sunday, Dec. 8, at the Alton Band and Orchestra Boosters’ Olde Craft Faire.

According to Rev. Brad Donoho, pastor of Upper Alton Baptist Church, “Habitat for Humanity doesn’t build houses for people. We build houses with people. Selected families agree to partner with Habitat and contribute ‘sweat equity hours’ toward their own home. A Habitat home is a hand up……not a handout.” The Habitat Board of Directors recently accepted

Local trainer offers advice for keeping fit through the holidays

By ROBERT LYONS Jersey County Journal The winter months can wreak havoc on a healthy body, but one local personal trainer said it doesn’t have to be that way.

The holidays are notorious for helping people pack on the pounds, but Karen Rose, of Mighty Rose Fitness, said the short, cold days can be just as detrimental to psyche as the waistline.

“I think this time of year, it’s not just your physical health that gets impaired, but the mental health.

Days tend to be much more grey and gloomy, and people tend to get more depressive,” Rose said. “That, to me, is one the No. 1 thing for winter. It’s not so much putting on the couple extra pounds that you can get rid of as soon as the snow goes away.”

On her Facebook page, Mighty Rose Fitness, Rose regularly posts workout routines which can be adapted for any fitness level, without any equipment.

Rose, who has been a personal trainer for nearly two decades, said food choice is important for maintaining a healthy waistline through the holiday season. But, she tries to refrain from using the word “diet.”

The many holiday parties, according to Rose, can be a tremendous obstacle to healthy food choices.

“I normally suggest having something to eat before they go, and then scoping out the veggie trays and fruits,” she said.

“Trying to stick to one or two glasses of a dry red wine is probably the way to go.”

Rose also has a cookbook available through her Facebook page, which she wrote. It is full of recipes and meal planning tips for a healthy lifestyle.

Rose’s clients range from young athletes to the elderly and everyone in between. She also teaches a class at the Jersey Community Hospital Wellness Center.

For more information, find Rose on her Facebook page, or call (618) 691-6500.

Illinois helping prisoners start Obamacare enrollment When you exit prison in Illinois you’ll get your street clothes, a notice of when to check-in with your parole officer and a pamphlet about Obamacare.

The state’s prisons and county jails are taking a proactive approach to enrolling people, mostly into Medicaid, through the Affordable Care Act. They’re starting the process while prisoners are locked up.

“When the person is in custody, they’re not eligible for enrollment,” McLean County Sheriff Mike Emery told Illinois Watchdog. “The stance we’re taking here in McLean County…is that we’re starting the process with inmates to get them enrolled for health care.”

Local jails in Jersey and Pike counties have not been following a similar program. Jersey County Sheriff Mark Kallal said he heard about other counties giving inmates information about the Affordable Care Act so they could sign up after release, but unless it becomes mandated he does not intend to do the same in Jersey County, which also holds prisoners for Calhoun County.

Emery said his staff will fill out

almost all of the paperwork for Obamacare so that once someone is released they can sign a few pages and be enrolled in Medicaid, or apply for private insurance. Most will go into Medicaid.

In Illinois’ prisons, inmates who are set to be released are told they could be covered by Medicaid well before their last day.

“Parole school in prisons serves as a primer on what to do upon release,” said Tom Shaer, Illinois’ prison spokesman for Illinois Department of Corrections. “IDOC informs inmates of their rights and opportunities under ACA, just as we inform them of all resources available to them in health care.”

Shaer said Illinois hopes to enroll its 28,000 parolees in Obamacare.

Most of them would be covered under Medicaid expansion.

“There are certain portions of IDOC’s inmate population who are currently Medicaid eligible — the over 65 population and our pregnant female population,” Shaer said.

Medicaid will not pay for care for other inmates who currently serving sentences, he added.

Greg Sullivan, executive director of the Illinois Sheriff’s Association, said the key is where the inmate is sleeping.

“Federal rules say you cannot be on Medicaid and in jail or prison, but once you get out you are covered,” Sullivan said.

That even applies to short releases. “If we take you and put you in a hospital, you’re are still covered,” he said.

Sullivan said inmate health care is often the second largest cost for a county jail.

Counties are seeing Obamacare as a way to shift some of those health care costs from their budgets to the federal government.

“There will be some savings,” Emery said. “I don’t know if it’s going to be an immediate savings for county taxpayers.”

Illinois has added 114,000 people to its Medicaid rolls under Obamacare, while no one knows how many people have signed up for private insurance. Republican lawmakers expect to add as many as 500,000 people to Medicaid in the next year.

Obamacare is set to pay for all of the costs for three years (and 90 percent after that) for newly eligible Medicaid clients, mostly the young single men who are the same young men coming out of prison or jail.

Illinois spent nearly $12 billion on Medicaid last year. Republicans at the Capitol say Illinois can expect to spend $1 billion more on Medicaid next year, regardless of the extra federal cash. If the federal government pays less than 90 percent of the cost for the young men it is adding to Medicaid, Illinois’ Medicaid spending could skyrocket by more than $6 billion a year.

Inaugural run going to the dogs Glazebrook Park will be full of people and pups on Nov. 16, trying to raise funds for Hope Animal Rescues at the first annual Run for Rescue 5K and One Mile Mutt Strut. This event marks the first ever charity race to be held in honor of Hope Animal Rescues located in Godfrey.

“Our goal this first year was to just be successful enough to make Hope Rescues some money and have people enjoy it enough to come back next year,” said race co-chair Mary Kate Malone.

The idea for the race came from Hope Rescues volunteer Melody McGowan, who is an avid runner herself.

Having participated in charity runs in the past, she pitched the idea to Malone and they ran with it. They currently have over 100 people registered for the race and hope to have 200 people participating on race day.

“The race route couldn’t take place in a prettier spot,” said Malone of the Glazebrook Park location. “The Village of Godfrey has been great in letting us have the run here and our course was designed for us by SMS Engineers in Alton.”

The 5K race will take place at 9 a.m. and awards will be given out for several age categories. The Mutt Strut, a one-mile walk at which dogs are invited to join their owners, begins at 9:15 a.m. Owners are encouraged to dress up their furry pals in their best costumes and prizes will be given out to the top three best-dressed dogs.

“With this being a fundraiser for a dog rescue we really wanted to find a way to incorporate the dogs,” said McGowan of the Mutt Strut event. “It’s going to be really

fun! Each furry participant gets a special treat bag with lots of goodies especially for them.”

The race is being sponsored by several local businesses including: Simmons Law Firm, Club Paws, Inc. and Atlantis Pools, where pre-race packet pick up will be held.

“All the money we are raising goes directly to benefit the dogs,” said Malone. “Hope Rescues is an all-volunteer run organization so fundraisers like these help keep them going.”

Race registration is $30 and can be done by visiting active.com and more information can be found on the race’s Facebook page at www.facebook.com/ RunForRescue5K. People not able to participate are encouraged to come out and cheer on those who are.

There will be a color guard presentation presented by the Alton High School ROTC with the National Anthem being sung at 8:30 a.m. There will also be a baked goods sale to raise additional funds and refreshments will be provided for all runners/walkers.

Participants are also being reminded that due to construction on Stamper Lane in Godfrey the only available entrance to the park is via Pierce Lane.

Hope Animal Rescues is an Illinois State Licensed, non-Profit, No Kill Animal Rescue located in Godfrey.

Hope has rescued 1,927 animals since its founding in November 2005. Hope Rescues is an all-volunteer organization and relies solely on donations from the community to maintain its everyday operations.

The value of silence in our noisy and busy world is easy to overlook, and even though many of us would like a quieter environment, it can be almost impossible to find a truly quiet place in much of the modern world. Cars, trucks and motorcycles with loud mufflers are some of the worst offenders when it comes to disrupting what little serenity we have. Loud music and boisterous parties are perennial disturbers of the peace as well. Since loud and inconsiderate people are not likely to be convinced of the errors of their ways, holy men and women have always known the importance of sequestering themselves, going into caves or sojourning in the wilderness.

Some religious orders even take vows of silence. Finding quiet time each and every day pays big dividends to our spiritual and emotional health, and probably our physical health as well. We should consider also whether our lifestyle is contributing to a quieter world or if we are one of those vexatious disturbers of the peace.

Record-setting season in books Well that sure was fun.

I know the Jersey Community High School football season may not have lasted as long as fans would have The Sam Antics

By Sam Elliott liked — and sure, maybe it didn't feature as many wins as last year's 10-1 campaign — but we just witnessed a historic season of football here in Jerseyville.

The Panthers finished 6-4 this season, made a return trip to the Class 5A playoffs — the first back-to-back postseason appearances since 2003 and 2004 — and rewrote the school's record book in the process.

Billy Ritchey's name is in there in a couple spots.

Whereas Mitch Kimble burned opponents on the ground running the ball last season, Ritchey torched them through the air throwing it this year. Never has a JCHS quarterback threw for as many yards as Ritchey's 2,492.

"Billy did everything he was supposed to do," Panthers head coach Dave Jacobs said. "He was coachable, he worked hard in the weight room, he really worked hard at fundamentals and really kind of mastered the position."

Yeah he did. Ritchey tossed a school-record 28 touchdowns this season and broke Kimble's one-year-old record for combined yards passing and running with 2,554. Twice he threw for five touchdowns in a regulation game, tying another school record.

"Billy exceeded expectations," Jacobs said. "I’m really proud of him. He took ownership of the position and really was a student of the game. He understood defense and where to go with the ball. I’m proud of him. Now the next quarterback will have some shoes to fill, too."

Nine of those touchdowns went to junior Christian Kimble — who tied the school's record for receiving touchdowns in a season — but most of Ritchey's passes ended up in the hands of the guy who will replace him at quarterback next year.

But boy did Jacob Varble sure put together a nice campaign playing wde receiver this season.

The Jersey junior set new school records with 66 catches and 940 receiving yards this season, plus set a new singlegame record with 13 receptions against Limestone.

But that'll do it for Varble's time at receiver at JCHS. Next season he'll be the one throwing the passes.

"The quarterback gets the keys to the car to drive the program and I’ve already given them to Jake," Jacobs said. "He knows that. He can run and throw. He’s tough, smart and knows where to go with the ball. We’re going to tweak and change our offense to meet him and use the weapons around him. He’s already ready to get to work."

But it won't be only the passing game that has a new look in 2014.

Carpunky continuing wrestling career at MBU

Sam Elliott/Jersey County Journal

Lady Panthers senior Courtney Carpunky (seated center) signed her letter of intent to wrestle for Missouri Baptist University Wednesday at Jersey Community High School. Surrounding her are, front row left to right, sister Caitlin Carpunky, mother Diana Carpunky, MBU head coach Brian Jackson; back row left to right, JCHS assistant coaches Duane Montgomery and Darren Perdun, father Michael Carpunky, MBU assistant coach Matt Couley and Panthers head coach Allen Snyder.

Senior quarterback Billy Ritchey runs out of the backfield during the Panthers' Class 5A playoff game Saturday, Nov. 2, in Bartonville. Ritchey set new Jersey Community High School records with 2,492 passing yards, 28 touchdowns and 2,554 total yards rushing and passing this season while quarterbacking the Panthers into the postseason and to a 6-4 record. pantherfb.blogspot.com

Gone and graduated will be running back Austin Lolos, who ran for 1,058 yards — his second-straight quadruple-digit season — and 17 touchdowns his senior season.

But the Panthers think they have not one, not two, but three running backs waiting in the wings who can shoulder the 2014 rushing load.

"We’ll have three quality senior running backs: Devin Outman, Chris Campbell and Brendan Kennedy and all those guys are different," Jacobs said. "Devin Outman’s a downhill glider — he runs well. Campbell’s just strong and 'Whitey' Kennedy’s the little water bug. It’s three different kinds of running backs and it’ll be nice to have that depth there."

Kennedy looked good on special teams this season, scoring a touchdown via an 82-yard kickoff return in the Panthers' playoff game in Bartonville.

Overall, the Jersey offense faces replacing seven starters from this season next year — including four of the five starting offensive linemen.

"We're going to be different, but I like looking at our guys and

figuring out what we can do," Jacobs said.

The Panthers will also miss clutch kicker Austin Isringhausen next season. The senior scored 51 points this year, booting four field goals and 39 extra points.

He tied a pair of school records by converting on nine extra points in a single game against Mount Zion and by hitting two field goals against Civic Memorial.

Jersey's defense will retain a lot of familiar faces from this season to next, bringing back eight starters.

Unfortunately, the Panthers won't have George Lorton lining up on the defensive line anymore — the senior racked up a schoolrecord eight quarterback sacks this season.

The defenders Jersey will return in 2014 will be tasked with stopping a collection of strong Mississippi Valley Conference offenses next season.

The solution? Get stronger.

"The guys just have to buy-in in the weight room," Jacobs said.

"We've got to have total buy-in with the work ethic to make sure we put ourselves in position to

compete with the bigger teams.

"We've got to get our kids stronger and find a way to stop those power teams or at least slow them down and get them off the field," he added.

The Panthers' schedule won't do them many favors next season.

Jersey gets to open the 2014 season with back-to-back home games against Granite City and Mount Zion, but the team will again have just four home games total and four of its final five matchups will be on the road.

"Our schedule is brutal next year," Jacobs said. "The league's going to keep being very competitive, too."

The Panthers might have to undergo a facelift on offense, will try to bulk up on defense, and have to face a tough slate of opponents in 2014, but the Jersey football program is trending upwards with a solid foundation built for more success — with the goal of yet another playoff trip — come next season.

There'll be plenty more fun to be had. selliott@campbellpublications.net

Pair of Jr. Panthers teams reach Super Bowls Two Jr. Panthers Football Club teams will play for their respective Super Bowl championships after winning the first playoff games in program history.

The club's 11U team, led by head coach Mike Outman, beat Highland Saturday in

Collinsville to earn a berth in their Tri County Football League 11U Super Bowl.

The 11U Jr. Panthers will face Alton in their Super Bowl at 11 a.m. Saturday in Belleville.

The Jr. Panthers' 8U team didn't originally qualify for the Tri County playoffs, but

SAM ELLIOTT Jersey County Journal What may have began as a joke is no laughing matter anymore.

Jersey Community High School senior Courtney Carpunky became the first wrestler in program history to sign on with a collegiate team, officially joining the women's wrestling team at Missouri Baptist University Wednesday.

"My friends and I joined the wrestling team my freshman year kind of as a joke," Carpunky said.

"It was really hard, so they quit."

But the hard work didn't scare Carpunky off.

"I really liked it, so I stuck with it. I like the hard work," she said. "The coaches are all really great and the team all supports each other and it's like a family. I couldn't just leave them. I'm glad I stuck with it."

The hard work suited Carpunky, who JCHS head coach Allen Snyder called one of the most committed athletes he's ever worked with.

"She’s one of the hardest working kids I’ve ever had in any sport," Snyder said. "When things aren’t going good in practice, she gets on the guys. She’s a leader.

"She's taken her lumps and

had some victories, but most girls couldn't do that," he added. "It takes a special kind of person and that's what she is. This is very cool."

The Jersey program has turned out some talented wrestlers and even a few 100-match winners, but the Panthers have never had a wrestler go on to sign with a collegiate team until now.

"Who would have thought four years ago we’d be doing this today?" Snyder said. "She’s our first collegiate wrestler and she earned every bit of it with her work ethic and great attitude all the time."

With her senior season still ahead of her at JCHS before joining MBU, Carpunky said her goals include improving on her shots and just winning as much as she can while going against the boys.

"It's pretty cool to be able to say I'm the only girl on the team," she said.

She won't get to say that after joining the women's wrestling team at MBU next season.

The Spartans enter this season at No. 8 in the Women's College Wrestling Association national rankings. selliott@campbellpublications.net

Lady Birds duo named all-SCC

were next in line for a spot after another team declined its invitation. The squad, led by head coach Curt Klunk, beat Troy 20-14 Saturday.

The team will face O'Fallon at 9:30 a.m. Saurday in Alton for the 8U Super Bowl title.
