JCHS students hosting Veteran’s Day ceremony Friday By BOB CROSSEN Jersey County Journal

JCH donates to Isaac's Rays of Hope. See page A5

The fifth annual Veteran’s Day ceremony conducted by Jersey Community Unit School District 100 will be produced by students in the high school drama class Friday, Nov. 8 at 9:30 a.m. Previous iterations of the ceremony were done by the student advisory committee with the help of Lori Hopkins, who had been assistant principal at the high school. As superintendent of the district now, Hopkins did not have as much time to put together a program, and JCHS drama teacher Brett Beauchamp was tasked with organizing the event. Beauchamp said JCHS Principal Lisa Schuenke approached him during the summer to see if he’d like to create the program, and he said he didn’t want to do it with anybody other than the students in his drama class. “We’re very flexible in what we can do,” Beauchamp said. “With the numbers we had in drama, this was the perfect class. … These are the best – in my opinion – the best of the best.”

The drama teacher said the project was a great way to incorporate what the students learn in class and apply those teachings to a real life scenario by memorizing lines and creating transitions between speakers. He said the gravity of this program is greater than that of the normal plays and shows put on by the drama department each year, however, and as such it has presented other challenges. During the program this year, Captain Marshall Lewis, special guest, will have his retirement ceremony conducted during the program. Beauchamp said the event isn’t about the students’ performances, but rather about those who served the country valiantly. “This is lofty. The men and women that we want to honor – we don’t want any pats on the back – we want it all to be about the veterans,” Beauchamp said. “The reason we’re able to do what we’re doing right now in this class is because of the sacrifices that these people gave.” The eight students who will be running the program Friday are excited at the opportunity, which has taught

them not only about the respect and reverence for those who serve and have served the country, but also about public speaking.

“The reason we’re able to do what we’re doing right now in this class is because of the sacrifices that these people gave.”

Brett Beauchamp JCHS drama teacher Jaidelynn Rogers, drama student, said the hardest part about preparing for the ceremony was breaking free of the habits and rules cemented in her mind from her work on plays and shows. She had to force herself to deliver the lines differently. “You can’t act as a character. You have to be yourself, and that’s a com-

Participants of the Supplemental Nutritional Assistance Program (SNAP) will receive less money each month due to an expiring federal act which had boosted the money offered by the program. The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, the stimulus which was enacted by U.S. Congress and signed into law by President Barack Obama in 2009, expired at the end of October, causing a decrease in benefits for participants of SNAP, which is the state’s food stamp program, formerly known as LINK. Januari Smith, spokesperson for Illinois Department of Human Services, said it is unlikely a similar financial boost to the program will occur based on the current congressional climate in Washington. “They’re talking about even cutting even further, so I would doubt we would get this increase back,” Smith said. Funding for the program is set at a federal level, Smith said, and states are tasked with administering SNAP in their areas. The spokeswoman said the state is not responsible for the reduction in benefits which can range from $11 per month for a household of one to $81 per month for a household of 10 people. Though the reduction may look small on paper, Smith said the program is designed to issue, on average, $5 each day per household member for food, meaning the $11 lost by an individual could be two days worth of supplemental income for food. Though the program is meant to offer supplemental funds for food purchases, Smith said many families rely strongly on the service. “It will definitely impact those families that depend on this program,” Smith said, noting how much a family receives is based on a number of factors, including, but not limited to, income and (See, SNAP, A2)

When we’re down in the Theatre Department, we’re all big and acting with faces and hands,” Hall said, gesturing with open palms to the side of her face before shifting to a more rigid sitting stance. “For [this] we had to sit there and talk, so I had to learn that.” David Bishop, who will be performing, “Hello, Remember Me?,” a poem from the point of view of the United States flag, said he does have to take on a different persona, and hopes he can do the part justice. “I want to do what I interpret the monologue as, so it’s kind of weird because you have to become something that’s so iconic,” Bishop said. “I hope people think I do it well, and I hope I do it justice and that it’s reverent and respectful.” Beauchamp said the project has been a great learning experience for the students and hopes future classes can also take on the ceremony as a class project. The ceremony begins at 9:30 a.m. Friday, Nov. 8 and is open to the public, and students from all grades in the district will attend.

pletely different thing,” Rogers, who will perform a thank you poem Friday, said. “We train so much that we’re so used to doing things a certain way, and then you have to go and train a different way.” The experience of separating the acting part of her mind from that of public speaking has been a rewarding process, and Kristin Hall, drama student, said she, too, has learned a lot from the month-long lead up to the event. She said they got the script and learned the pieces each participant would be speaking, but they also got to put the event together and prepare outfits for the parts. Beauchamp said working with the group has also streamlined much of the ceremony because they worked on transitioning from one piece to the next. In the Theatre Department much of the speaking is paired with large gestures and facial expressions, Hall said, which is much different than standing at a podium and enunciating one’s speech. “I’m not really a public speaker.

Tony Sanderson tosses an old desktop from the second-story window of the former Williams Office Products building Friday morning at the intersection of U.S. 67 and Illinois Route 109 in Jerseyville. Sanderson, working for Chris Lorton Construction, was helping gut the building, which is being rehabbed.

Work begins to rehab prominent building By ROBERT LYONS Jersey County Journal The former site of Williams Office Products is having new life breathed into it for the first time in nearly a decade. The 9,800-square-foot, two-story structure was purchased by Chris Lorton with the intent to create commercial space. Located at the intersection of U.S. Highway 67 and Illinois Route 109, something needed to be done about the large vacant building, he said. “That location is the highest traffic location in town,” Lorton, owner of Chris Lorton Construction, said. “It’s been an eyesore for years.”

He said he tried to negotiate to purchase the building four years ago, but those dealings fell through. Now that he’s obtained the property, he said there is plenty of work to be done. Roof repair, tuck-pointing and other exterior work is just the beginning. “There’s a lot of maintenance items that have been let go for a number of years that have to be addressed,” Lorton said. There were many items left behind by Williams, most of which are being thrown out because they were damaged by the leaky roof. Lorton said he believes as many as eight 40-yard trash bins will be needed to clear the debris. (See, BUILDING, A2) C

An entire city block in Jerseyville may be leveled to make way for a new national retail chain. The properties in the area in between Prairie, State, Carpenter and Jefferson streets have all signed letters of intent to sell to a developer said to be representing a national retailer. Included in the deal would be Shell, FS’s Fast Stop, Sammy’s Office Lounge, Funk Outdoor Equipment and a building owned by the city of Jerseyville currently housing the West Central Illinois Criminal Justice Council. A letter of intent to sell, however, does not bind the potential buyers or sellers. Nor has a final price been negotiated. Dave Boente, general manager of J.F. Boente Sons, Inc., which operates the Jerseyville Shell, said the property owners were asked to submit a figure they would potentially entertain as a selling price. “It’s all preliminary at this point. We were approached by a representative, and they’re trying to put something together,” Boente said. “They’re looking at a couple of different sites, from what I understand.” Dave Lewis, general manager of Tri County FS, agreed its too early to plan any business moves around the potential deal, but did say Fast Stop would relocate within the city if the current location is sold. “We’re planning at this point as if it’s a sure thing, even though we know that there is always something that could throw a wrench in it,” Lewis said. Boente said he would like his family-owned and operated company – based out of Carlinville – to maintain a presence in Jerseyville, as well. “We would look at some options,” Boente said. “We would like to stay

in Jerseyville, but nothing is certain. We’re just looking at it as a possibility.” The city of Jerseyville held a special council meeting Friday morning to discuss its letter of intent, which was unanimously approved. Jeff Soer, the

city’s building/special project administrator, said the city has not been given any particulars on the potential buyer. “The developer I’ve been working with is just saying it’s a national retail company,” Soer said. The West Central Illinois Criminal Justice Council has a lease with the city, which expires in February 2014. Soer said a potential sale of the property would not interfere with the terms of the current lease. “The developer said this is just in the infancy of development and nothing is definite,” Soer said. “If things progressed along, you could be looking at nine months before they would even start anything.” A phone call to Funk Outdoor Equipment revealed the owner intends to relocate if a sale is made. Sammy’s Office Lounge is closed for business and has been listed for sale for more than six months.

Rudolph’s ready for another 100 years after reinforcement By ROBERT LYONS Jersey County Journal The project may have taken a little longer than planned, but the finished product may have been worth the wait. Repairs on the Rudolph’s building on Jerseyville’s State Street were recently completed, and according to contractor Brad Jun the 125-year-old building is ready to survive another century. “I would guarantee it another 100 years, at least in that corner,” Jun, vice-president of Jun Construction, said. “The rest of the building looks like it is fine shape. It’s a good solid building right now and should be a good solid building for many years to come.” The bricks on the northwest corner of the building began showing gaps after settling caused separation in the bricks. The problem stemmed from a remodel at an unknown point in the build-

ing’s history. The repair involved reinforcing the corner with steel beams, alleviating stress on the bricks which had been bearing the load in the corner. Then bricks were replaced on the upper portions of the building, which had been affected by the settling. Jun said more brick had to be relaid than he initially anticipated. “The brick just more or less fell out,” he said. “I was hoping to be able to just tuck-point a lot of it, but I knew we were going to have to relay some of it.” Helical piers were driven 22 feet into the ground, securing the building from additional settling before any of the other repairs took place. The sidewalk was closed in December 2012 in the area around the northwest corner of the building. Then on Aug. 28, the portion of Exchange Street directly next to the building was closed. The street and most of the sidewalk reopened just more than a week ago.

Jerseyville’s building/special projects administrator, Jeff Soer, said having the street and sidewalk closed for an extended period of time was an inconvenience, but building owner David Rudolph’s commitment to preserving the historic value of building and downtown Jerseyville is commendable. In fact, he said he’s hoping to have a certificate of appreciation ready for Jun and Rudolph at an upcoming council meeting. “They could have taken the front off of that and just put it back up plain. But, they went the extra step to save it,” Soer said. “They did it right. They went the extra mile to make sure it was put back sound and will last for years to come.” Working on the old building presented some challenges along the way, but Jun said he’s satisfied with how it turned out. “We completed it without anyone getting hurt, and that was our main concern with something like that,” Jun said.

Video gaming revenues boost local government finances By BOB CROSSEN Jersey County Journal Revenues from video gaming machines in bars has steadily grown since the money was first collected after receiving approval for use in Illinois last August. There are a total of 21 machines in Jersey County, according to the October monthly report from the Illinois Gaming Board (IGB), but only seven of them transfer money back to the county’s funds while the remaining ones generate revenue for the city of Jerseyville. Monthly reports are issued by the Illinois Gaming Board, through which businesses register their machines. The IGB collects all the information for amount of money wagered through the machines, their net terminal income, as well as the state and municipality shares of the money generated at the terminal. The net terminal income is taxed by 30 percent. That 30 percent is split between the state (83 percent) while the municipality – city, village or county – in which the

machine is located receives the remainder (17 percent) of the taxed amount. According to the August report payable in September, Jersey County saw a spike in revenue from the machines. The total for that month was $750 while July and September revenues sat at $230 and $320, respectively. Over the course of those three months, the state received a total of $5,775 from the gaming terminals in Jersey County. The state received even more money from machines operating in Jerseyville, however. According to the September report on the IGB website, Jerseyville machines generated $1,350 among 14 machines, and the state received $6,800 for its share. Jerseyville Clerk Cathy Ward said every small bit of money brought into the city’s accounts can make an impact, and if the trend continues with around $1,000 being generated each month, it could be significant for the city’s finances. The machines can be found in The Diner Bar and Grill, Lake Westside, Midway Tavern,

Trackside Lounge, Jem Bar and Bawana’s in Jersey County, though only Lake Westside’s machines were counted for the September report. The remaining ones had not been approved until October. There are additional establishments in Jersey County that have pending applications for the machines, but have not been approved as of an IGB meeting Oct. 24. According to records with IGB, licenses to have the machines have not been denied to any establishment in Jersey County. In Jerseyville, Murphy’s 424, Medford Food Mart, Los Tres Amigos, Wolves’ Crossing, Fran and Marilyn’s, Tri County Bowl, Elk’s Lodge and the Jerseyville American Legion have pending applications with IGB to place machines in their businesses. Big Kahuna, Crazy Beaver Pizza Lodge, the Loading Dock, O’Jan’s, the Grafton American Legion,Pere Marquette Lodge and Ruebel Hotel in Grafton have pending applications, as do Do Drop Inn (Dow) and Pour House (Fieldon).

Of that total, around 1,100 people receive no public assistance other than SNAP. The Jersey office serves the counties of Calhoun, Green and Jersey. From the same information source, the Adams County office says 13,500 people receive SNAP benefits. Those people are in around

6,500 households, and 2,400 receive only SNAP benefits and no other public assistance. The Adams office serves the counties of Adams, Pike and Scott. In 2010, there were approximately 4,000 households which received the benefits for approximately 8,500 people, according to the Adams County numbers, and around 2,200 people used the service in 2010 in around 950 households, according to the Jersey County figures. For more information about the change, visit dhs.state.il.us and navigate through the “for customers” link to the Family and Community Services division to view SNAP information.

(Continued from A1) But, the building is worth the investment of time and money, he said, noting the quality and location of the structure should appeal to commercial interest. “It’s all concrete and steel. It’s a heck of a building, really,” Lorton said. “I envision, something along the lines of factory direct warehouse space. I’ll know more as time goes on, but I’m just trying to get the maintenance things done at this point in time.” He said the building could lend itself to other purposes, but limited parking poses potential issues. Williams Office Products moved into the building in 1995. It was erected in 1929.

gaming terminals can be earmarked for specific purposes – Greene County considered using the money to fund a child advocacy group – but neither Jersey County nor Jerseyville have made such a declaration for how the money should be spent. Grafton also has made no action regarding how video gaming revenues would be used by the city. The Illinois Video Gaming Act was amended last year to allow the use of video gaming machines in establishments that sell alcohol, but the machines must adhere to strict regulations. They are also subject to inspections by an independent testing agency authorized by IGB. The video gaming terminals must be able to report a full record of play history including outcomes, bets placed, intermediate play steps, credits available and credits cashed out. The machines must “pay out a mathematically demonstrable percentage during the expected lifetime of the machine of all amounts paid.” That percentage cannot be less than 80 percent.

ith renovations beginning on the former Williams Office Products building and repairs on the Rudolph’s building just finishing up, the effort to maintain the Jerseyville’s appearance and heritage is more than obvious.

But, looming on the horizon may be a project that will change more of the city than is being saved. That’s not to say change is a bad thing. All signs point to serious interest from a major retail chain scouting a Jerseyville location, right in the historic downtown area. A large, modern retail store would probably stick out from its more traditional neighbors. Still, two gas stations, an out-of-business bar and a home turned into an office building don’t exactly scream historic, either. And though it may not fit whatever model the national retailer is using for its stores, there certainly are building styles which could be used to combine historic and modern aesthetics, which could make for a tasteful addition to the landscape. Looking past the appearance, however, bringing another retail giant into town would certainly have an affect on the economy. First off, there are three active businesses on the properties in consideration. Two business owners have said they intend to relocate in the city, and the owner of the third said relocating is certainly a possibility. So, there shouldn’t be an immediate loss to the current offerings. The city of Jerseyville recently placed its downtown in a tax increment financing (TIF) district. If the property value were to go up as a result of development on the pieces of land, that difference in taxes paid would be applied to the TIF fund, which could help other property owners in the TIF district make improvements of their own. At the same time, however, some of those property owners run businesses of their own, which would be in competition against the newcomer. Although existing businesses may gain a competitor, the boon to the TIF fund could turn out to help them in the long run. There are positive and negative aspects to another major retail powerhouse entering the market. But, development within the city is a sign of growth and, hopefully, good things to come.

Rethinking your naughty and nice list A

lthough Halloween just passed and Thanksgiving is not quite here yet, I know many of you are starting to review your “Naughty and Nice List” and brainstorming gift ideas for those on the “Nice” side of this list this season. You may have even already begun your shopping – or you may be one of those people who shops year ‘round. And while it seems easy to purchase gifts for those on your list who have needs or hobbies, what do you get for someone who seems to have all their needs met? I urge you to consider supporting an often overlooked local small business – your local visual, literary, and performing artists. Artists are scrutinized for creating artwork and pricing it at the level they do. First, to that I must say, if you can make it then please do. But if you can’t, then a myriad of talented artists are here to help. And while you can visit one of those big box stores and purchase a lesser quality piece of art at a lower price, keep in mind all those reasons why they can sell it at that lower price. With the economic issues all of us face, art is often seen as disposable and unnecessary. But do we really want to live in a home with nothing but white wall and blank, lifeless rooms? Do we really think we can eliminate music from our ears – or books from our eyes and our minds? That is why artists choose their occupation to be what it is – to meet the needs of those of us who realize we cannot do without a cultural existence. But then here’s the art-

JOURNAL SEEKING GUEST COLUMNISTS If anyone is interested in submitting a guest column, please contact the Journal. There are many topics out there and we have found that our readers have a lot of thoughtful things to say, on a broad range of topics. Columns, like letters, should add to the public discourse in a helpful way. Guest columns are submitted by a rotating roster of columnists or are simply sent in unsolicited and, if appropriate, are published. These columns do not reflect the views of the newspaper, only the writer. Length is no more than 800 words. Deadlines are Tuesday at 10 a.m. Topics are the choice of the columnist although we encourage our contributors to avoid obviously inflammatory issues (religion, abortion, etc.). Though we are a local paper, contributors are free to write about national or international issues (the pledge, the war, Social Security, health care, etc.). The Journal reserves the right to hold, edit or withdraw a column. These guest columns are an opportunity for our contributors to share an idea, an opinion or information; it is not an opportunity to sell a product or a service. We are looking for informed opinion and lively debate. Our only requirements are that your column have relevance to our community and our readership and be responsibly written (no personal attacks or self promotion, for example).

ist’s challenge…trying to make an annual salary that is comparable to other professionals. After all, this is the artist’s chosen profession – just as the accountant, teacher, attorney, physician, or clergy has chosen his or her profession to provide a financial base on which to survive. Let’s say as an artist you’d like to make a minimum of $48,000 a year – a minimal level of survival that might also even help support your family. Because there is so much prep work that goes into each piece of art, you as the artist only end up with about 25 hours a week to actually be creating the art piece (not unlike most other occupations and their actual productive time). With 50 weeks in a work year (again, comparable to any other profession), that equates to about 1,250 hours a year for which an artist can validate as paid time. If you are following along and doing the math, that ends up being about $38 an hour. But you don’t actually make that, do you? Of course not. The reason an artist doesn’t actually make that is because he or she has expenses against it incurred by “the business.” Expenses such as supplies, utilities, space, transportation, taxes, insurance, and so on – overhead expenses just like every other business has. And because an artist is also, in reality, a small business owner, he or she has to reinvest and grow the business, as well. Therefore, marketing expenses have to come out of that $38 an hour – even the thriftiest entrepreneurs still have to

let their customers know they exist! You might do that through a website, Facebook, or some other method, but it still has to happen. Added to all of this are the costs Guest involved in what other professionals Column refer to as training BY MELISSA or trade shows – CROCKETT artists refer to them as professional development and exhibitions. So when you are considering the uniqueness of art as a gift that will last a lifetime – or more – then start to think that the artist’s prices are higher than you think they ought to be, keep in mind what’s been presented here. You are not only paying for the piece, but all the time, energy, collaboration, and passion behind it – along with all the “business” expenses. After all, if you poured your heart and soul into something that is truly one of a kind and someone said that they thought it wasn’t worth that much, then I suppose perhaps you might consider selling one of your children for around 50 bucks…just kidding…but just sayin’… Melissa Crockett has served as a guest columnist for the Jersey County Journal since 2007.

EDITORIAL

Become a Friend of Jersey County CASA TO THE EDITOR: In the next few weeks, registered voters of Jersey County will be receiving information in the mail about the local 2013 “Friends of CASA” fundraising campaign. Jersey County CASA is one of 36 CASA programs in the State of Illinois. CASA is an abbreviation for Court Appointed Special Advocates. We hope residents of Jersey County will consider contributing to this vital program. By contributing financially to Jersey County CASA you will be supporting the recruitment, training and supervision of volunteer CASA Advocates to ensure that abused and neglected children have a voice in court. Advocates watch over these children to ensure they don’t get lost in the overburdened legal and social service system or languish in an inappropriate group or foster home. They stay with each case until it is closed and the child is placed in a safe, permanent home. Jersey County resident Circuit Judge Eric Pistorius states, “CASA provides the court with another set of eyes on the at-risk child. These dedicated volunteers provide valuable insight as we collectively (the

court system, DCFS, Christian Social Services and CASA, etc.) try to ensure a safe and nurturing environment for abused and neglected children. “ As a prosecutor, State’s Attorney Ben Goetten, reports he sees too many cases involving abused and neglected children. “While I welcome the challenges and responsibilities of prosecuting the adults responsible, I am often ill-equipped to handle the child victims involved. This is where CASA Advocates come into play and fill a role often overlooked by the prosecutor’s office. In my opinion, CASA is an indispensable program that has served Jersey County well and will continue to do so for many years to come.” Circuit Clerk Charles Huebener: “What I witness in court is the positive influence of the CASA staff. They are there to ensure the safety and well being of the child during a most vulnerable time in their lives.” By becoming a "Friend of CASA," you will be helping at risk children in our community achieve a safe, nurturing environment in which to grow. Members who donate to Friends of CASA will be

recognized in and receive a periodic newsletter to keep them informed about what is happening with Jersey County CASA, including information about our advocates, current statistics, upcoming fundraisers, and other pertinent information. We are asking Jersey County residents to please consider making a donation, renewable yearly, to support the needs of the children in the Jersey County court system. For $100 each year you can become a member of the Jerseyville CASA Platinum Club, $75 the Gold Club, $50 the Silver Club and $25 the Bronze Club. All money donated remains in Jersey County to aid with the training, support and supervision of our local advocates. For more information, contact Bonnie Hindelang, Executive Director, at 498-5571, Ext. 152 or jerseyvillecasa@gtec.com. Jersey County CASA is a 501c3 organization. All donations are tax deductable to the full extent of the law. KEVIN AYRES President of the Board Jersey County CASA Jerseyville, Ill.

Chicago schools receive more money than rest of state FY 2013 FY 2013 FY 2013 FY 2011 FY 2011 Property tax Poverty total gross revenue state subsidy per Grant claim GSA received revenue (%) student ($) per lowspending from local income per student sources (%) student ($) ($)

By SCOTT REEDER & JACKSON ADAMS Illinois News Network Chicago-area public schools are collecting a disproportionate amount of state educational aid at the expense of students studying in downstate schools. That conclusion was reached during October in two separate and independent investigations conducted by the Illinois State Board of Education and the Illinois Policy Institute. “People should be concerned because it is an issue of fairness and equity,” said state Sen. Pam Altoff, R-McHenry. “What this is telling me is that children with developmental disabilities and special needs in Chicago are receiving more money than my students in suburban Chicagoland or downstate Illinois.” Back in 1995, Illinois lawmakers passed legislation that guaranteed Chicago Public Schools, or CPS, a certain percentage of state funds from block grants funding programs such as special education. In 1995, the percentage was based on the proportion of Illinois students attending CPS. However, CPS enrollment has dropped during the last 18 years, while the proportion of funding it receives has remained at the 1995 level, according to Mary Fergus, a spokeswoman for the Illinois State Board of Education. Consequently, Chicago students are getting more state funding per pupil than their counterparts elsewhere in the state. According to the Illinois Policy Institute’s report, Chicago received $811 per pupil in property tax subsidies while downstate districts received an average of $25 per student. In the area of poverty grant funds, Chicago received $2,513 per impoverished student – downstate only $1,343. For some, this is nonsensical. “What are they trying to say— kids from Chicago with disabilities from Chicago need more than those from the suburbs or downstate? This is not about poverty or socioeco-

nomic conditions. This is about an individual disability,” Altoff said. The funding gap can be seen in overall school district spending per student. According to the Illinois State Board of Education’s report, school districts outside of Chicago spent an average of $7,541 per pupil in 2012 while Chicago spent $10,410. Altoff said most lawmakers are unaware of the disparity in funding between Chicago schools and the rest of the state. “Most legislators are focused on general state aid to schools and local property taxes,” she said. “Few people are getting down into the weeds and looking at the whole picture – including block grants.” One of the few people who has studied the issue is state Sen. David Luechtefeld, R-Okawville. “Right now, it looks like schools are going to face some cuts, so it’s important that we take a close look at this issue and see who may be getting more than their fair share ,” he said. “After we have looked at these numbers we may come up some recommendations. It important that students all across the state receive adequate funding.” State Rep. Ken Dunkin, D-Chicago, said he is not particularly bothered that more money is spent per student in Chicago than elsewhere in the state because Chicagoans pay much of the state’s taxes. “We want to shift the way we fund education, and that should be based solely off the income tax distribution in the state,” he said. “Right now it’s inherently unfair.” Dunkin said school districts outside of Chicago are getting too much money. Others see an underlying problem in the way public schools are funded. “School funding should be changed totally,” said Dave McDermott, CFO of Moline School District. “In Illinois it matters where you live for the quality of your education. The General Assembly has known this for 50 years and doesn’t do anything about it.” State Rep. Joe Sosnowski,

Godfrey lawyer qualifies for Boston Marathon, plans cancer research fundraiser Tim Campbell, a lawyer who lives and practices law in Godfrey and grew up in Hardin, recently qualified to run in the historic 26.2 mile Boston Marathon. He qualified on Sunday, Oct. 13 by running in the 26.2 mile Chicago Marathon and posting a time of 4 hours and 9 minutes. His daughter, Christin Kaltenbronn, formerly of Godfrey and now a resident of Prospect Heights, also participated in the Chicago event. Although all qualifying slots have previously been filled for the April 2014 Boston event, he hopes to join one of the charities that holds additional positions. If not, he qualifies and plans to run in 2015. Campbell intends to raise funds for cancer research in memory of his late wife, Linda, and son, Bryan, who both died of cancer. “A number of local and Colorado health care professionals helped me stay on track despite injuries. The medical staff included local physicians Drs. John Hoelscher, Randall Rogalsky, Thomas Kaltenbronn, and Larry Huels; local physical therapist, Mike Hentrich; and Colorado physical therapists, Barbara Thomas and Kristin Schwarck,” Campbell said. Running coach, Janet Leet, of Arlington Heights, helped with running technique and exercise.

When disco diva Deloris Van Cartier witnesses a murder, she is put in protective custody in the one place cops are sure she won’t be found –a convent! Disguised as a nun, she finds herself at odds with both the rigid lifestyle and an uptight Mother Superior. Using her fabulous disco-ness and killer voice to inspire the choir, Deloris breathes new life into the church, but in doing so blows her cover. Soon it’s nun-on-the-run time but she finds salvation in the heavenly power of her newly found sisterhood. Based on the mega-hit feature film, “Sister Act” features an original Alan Menken/Glenn Slater score with a vast inspiration of musical styles from Motown, soul and funk to great big disco anthems and Barry White inspired musical comedy.

Two Rivers National Wildlife Refuge boosts local economy Two Rivers National Wildlife Refuge generated $159,600 in economic benefit for the Calhoun, Greene, Jersey, Madison, St. Charles and St. Louis counties area in Fiscal Year 2011, according to a new economic analysis. The benefit – which includes retail sales, taxes and job income – came from visitor spending tied to recreation activities on the refuge. The figures come from a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service study, called Banking on Nature, which used 92 of the more than 550 national wildlife refuges for its economic sampling. Wildlife refuges pumped $2.4 billion into the economy and supported more than 35,000 private-sector jobs in Fiscal Year 2011. Refuges contributed an average $4.87 in total economic output for every $1 appropriated and produced nearly $793 million in job income for local communities. The refuges are part of the National Wildlife Refuge System, managed by the Service. “Our National Wildlife Refuge System is the

world’s greatest network of lands dedicated to wildlife conservation but is also an important contributor to our economy, attracting more than 46 million visitors from around the world who support local restaurants, hotels, and other businesses,” said Secretary of the Interior Sally Jewell. “Every dollar we invest in our refuge system and other public lands generates huge dividends for our country.” Some recreation activities on Two Rivers Refuge are hunting, fishing, wildlife viewing and photography. Researchers examined visitor spending in four areas - food, lodging, transportation and other expenses (such as guide fees, land-use fees and equipment rental). Local economies were defined as those within 50 miles of each of the 92 refuges studied. Learn more about the study here: http://1.usa. gov/185tp06 Learn more about visitor opportunities at Two Rivers Refuge here: http://www.fws.gov/refuge/

two_rivers/ The National Wildlife Refuge System protects wildlife and wildlife habitat on more than 150 million acres of land and water from the Caribbean to the Pacific, Maine to Alaska. Refuges also improve human health, provide outdoor recreation and support local economies. Visit the homepage at www.fws.gov/refuges. The mission of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is working with others to conserve, protect, and enhance fish, wildlife, plants, and their habitats for the continuing benefit of the American people. We are both a leader and trusted partner in fish and wildlife conservation, known for our scientific excellence, stewardship of lands and natural resources, dedicated professionals, and commitment to public service.

B2 Extension websites help you enjoy fall to the fullest

Wednesday, November 6, 2013

Fall is the favorite time of year for many people. It brings with it crisp air, beautiful colors, and distinctive opportunities for food and fun. University of Illinois Extension offers a variety of websites that will help you take advantage of those opportunities. Apples and More provides detailed information for everyone from the serious apple grower down to the avid apple eater. Apple varieties are described and explained for their best eating and/or baking uses, and multiple articles address how to grow apples in different areas of the country as well as problems that may occur. There are recipes tested by an Extension educator, an “Apples: A Class Act” curriculum for teachers, a list of apple orchards around the state, and a list of apple festivals held across the country. Visit the site to learn fun apple facts and nutrition information. There’s a reason we’ve all heard “An apple a day…!” http://urbanext.illinois.edu/ apples/default.cfm Pumpkins and More brings out the kid in all of us, with Halloween just around the corner. You can read the history of the Jack-o-Lantern (it involves an Irish myth and a man nicknamed ‘Stingy Jack’). Experiment with pumpkin recipes (anyone for pumpkin-amaretto cheesecake?) and find pumpkin farms and pumpkin festivals. Even learn how to make healthy pumpkin Halloween treats. And when Thanksgiving rolls around, impress your family with your knowledge of the largest pumpkin pie ever made - 350 pounds! http://urbanext.illinois. edu/pumpkins/default.cfm Bulbs and More gives the flower gardener all the information they need to get ready for the coming year.

Christmas in

Greene County

Christmas in Carrollton this weekend By CARMEN ENSINGER Greene Prairie Press Carrollton Chamber of Commerce is proud to announce the Christmas in Carrollton kickoff will be held this Friday and Saturday, Nov. 8-9 with events taking place all over town. The Chamber held its first Christmas in Carrollton in 2003 and it was such a success it has become a tradition during the second weekend in November. Carrollton Chamber of Commerce Vice-President Bernie Faul said it is the Chamber’s way of encouraging people to shop their local merchants this holiday season. “The whole idea behind Christmas in Carrollton is to get people to come to Carrollton to do their Christmas shopping early which brings revenue into the city’s merchants, ” Faul said. “Our merchants have all kinds of stuff to offer as holiday gifts, and this

gives them an opportunity to preview those items before anyone else.” It is also the first opportunity for the kids to visit Santa and his reindeer this season. Santa in his sleigh along with a real reindeer will be set up in front of Dream Day Decorating on Saturday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. The Chamber will be giving away six sets of $50 Chamber Bucks which can be used at participating businesses. Upon making their first stop at a local merchant, one will receive a punch card. Take this card and visit all the participating merchants and get the card punched at each one. At the last stop, one can put the card in a box and be entered to win the $50 in Chamber Bucks. This drawing will be held at the Christmas Parade Dec. 6 at 6:30 p.m. Merchants participating this year include Pharmacy Plus, Buck’s Crossing, 108 Resale Shop, Nims Jewelry, Mainstreet Tire, Flower

Holly and mistletoe are symbols of Christmas season "Oh, by gosh, by golly it's time for mistletoe and holly. Tasty pheasants, Christmas presents, countrysides covered in snow." As exemplified by this holiday hit by Henry Sanicola, Frank Sinatra and Dok Stanford, holly and mistletoe are an integral part of holiday imagery and tradition. Holly is used to adorn a home in green and red finery alongside evergreen boughs and wreaths. In addition, it has become customary to hang a bouquet of mistletoe under which people are encouraged to share a holiday kiss. While these elements of celebrations are now incorporated into many of the secular and religious components of Christmas, they have very different origins. Holly Holly has been used since the days of the early Pagans as a decoration for midwinter festivities, when it was brought into homes to keep evil spirits away. The ancient Romans also believed that holly prickles drove away evil spirits, and it held a place of honor at December festivals dedicated to the god Saturn. To avoid persecution during the Roman pagan Saturnalia festival, early Christians would participate in the tradition of hanging evil-repelling holly on their homes to appear like the masses. Eventually as the number of Christians grew, the tradition became less of a pagan one and more associated with Christians and Christmas. Some people have inferred that holly and its prickly edges is symbolic of the crown of thorns Jesus wore at his crucifix-

ion, with the red berries representing blood. Mistletoe Mistletoe was once held sacred by the Norse, Celtic Druids and North American Indians. It is actually a parasitic plant that grows on a wide range of host trees. Heavy infestation can dwarf the growth and kill these trees. In cultures across pre-Christian Europe, mistletoe was seen as a representation of divine male essence (and thus romance, fertility and vitality). The plant also was thought to be a symbol of peace, and anyone standing below it should receive tokens of affection. When enemies met beneath mistletoe, they had to lay down their weapons and observe a truce until the next day. This is how the tradition of kissing under the mistletoe likely began, and why a ball of mistletoe is now hung in homes during Christmas, a season of peace and affection. Homeowners who hang mistletoe and holly around their homes during the holiday season should be mindful of pets and youngsters around the plants. Mistletoe and holly are considered to be moderately to severely toxic, and ingesting the leaves could be dangerous. Therefore, keep these plants away from curious hands. Mistletoe is commonly hung up high, which should make it less problematic, but holly should be hung high as well. Now largely associated with Christmas celebrations, holly and mistletoe were once part of pagan rituals and ancient superstitions.

Mill and Dream Day Decorating, Christmas Market at the First Baptist Church on Fifth Street and Boyd Hospital Holiday Bazaar. Participating stores will hold indoor sales and many will have refreshments. The Chamber will be giving away free popcorn and soda on Saturday from 11 a.m. until it is all gone. To get in the festive spirit, businesses around town are taking one of the 22 flower barrels located around the square and decorating them with a holiday theme. “I started the barrel decorating three years ago and each year I try to give different businesses the opportunity to participate, “Faul said. “Some of them really enjoy it and they want their barrel year after year. New to the decorating this year is the Wagon Wheel and Twisted Taco. We also have the Sons of the American Legion of Eldred and a Relay for Life team sponsoring a barrel.”

How to avoid post-holiday shopping crowds Come December 26th, many people are tired of shopping. Yet, there are deals to be had on everything from clothing to electronics on the day after Christmas, when savvy shoppers can take advantage of slashed prices to stock up on a few more things. But for millions of people the day after Christmas is about more than just returning gifts or finding great deals. For the people who live in countries that are or were British commonwealth nations, Boxing Day is a cause for celebration, and it just so happens to fall on December 26th. Boxing Day was traditionally a day when servants and tradesmen would receive gifts from their employers and superiors. However, it is now primarily known as a shopping holiday similar to Black Friday. On Boxing Day, shoppers take advantage of deep discounts and dramatic sales, and many retailers open their stores very early. Shoppers arrive in droves to shop the sales, and such crowds can be overwhelming. Fortunately, there are a number of ways to make Boxing Day shopping less taxing this year. n Shop when stores tend to be less busy. Ask store managers and/or employees when business tends to be at its slowest. Even though shopping on a holiday might still be busy, there may be a slow hour or two when you can avoid crowds. Shopping those times, whether early in the morning or late at night, can make the day less stressful.

n Shop online. There are never crowds online, which allows you to browse from the comforts of home. One disadvantage to online shopping is that you sometimes cannot get an accurate idea of the size of a garment or the feel of the material. However, when shopping for toys, electronics or home products, you may not need to touch and feel the items. n Create a list and stick to it. Before shopping, create a list of what you want to buy and avoid straying from that list once your shopping trip begins. You will spend considerably less time wandering aimlessly in a store if you make a list before shopping. n Wait another day or two. Crowds will not be as big if you wait a few days after Boxing Day to find deals. If you can postpone your trip to the store, you may still benefit from sales. Waiting even longer may enable you to buy seasonal items on clearance as stores make room for spring merchandise. n Shop all year long. Veteran shoppers tend to purchase items when they are most affordable, even if that means getting some holiday shopping done in the summer. Spreading purchases out over the entire year allows shoppers to manage their budgets and avoid hefty bills come January. Shopping for gifts throughout the year also frees up time during the holiday season, when time spent at the mall or shopping online can be better spent celebrating with family and friends.

Easy ways to celebrate Veterans Day Veterans Day is an annual holiday when veterans of the armed forces are honored and celebrated in the United States. Many people confuse Veterans Day with Memorial Day. While both days honor members of the armed forces, there's a distinction between the two holidays. Memorial Day, which is celebrated in May, is a day designated for remembering servicemen and servicewomen who died while serving. Veterans Day, which is observed in November, honors all military veterans. The role of the brave men and women who serve in the military is an important one, and it's one that warrants appreciation and celebration. The following are a few easy ways to celebrate veterans and their significant contribution to our country this Veterans Day. n Offer your thanks. Serving in the military can feel like a thankless job, as those who have not served might not be aware of the risks men and women in the military take and the sacrifices they must make to protect our country and help the less fortu-

nate across the globe. As a result, something as simple as saying "Thank you" to a current service member or military veteran can go a long way. Veterans know they don't serve in vain, but it's still a great idea to let them know how much you appreciate their efforts and sacrifices. n Help families of active military. Many service members are currently stationed and serving overseas, and their families back home may need or just appreciate a helping hand. Invite family members of active military over for dinner, offer to do chores like cutting the grass or shoveling the driveway when it snows or help around the house if something needs fixing. Even if families of active members serving overseas appear to be getting along great, offer your friendship and let them know you're there to help should anything arise. n Visit hospitalized veterans. Unfortunately, many veterans are hospitalized after suffering an injury during a tour of duty. These veterans sacrificed their physical well-being to protect our way of life, and many

spend extended periods of time in the hospital. Visiting a hospital to get to know a veteran and spend some time with him or her, sharing a few laughs and thanking them for their service, is a great way to celebrate the holiday and lift a veteran's spirits at the same time. Recruit friends and family members to visit hospitalized veterans as well. n Pay for a veteran's night out on the town. Like many people, veterans appreciate an escape from the daily grind. Men and women who want to show their appreciation to veterans can treat a veteran to a night out on the town. Have extra tickets to a ballgame or play? Donate them to a local VFW. Or if you see a veteran out on the town, offer to pay for his meal. n Thank businesses who support veterans. Many businesses show their gratitude to veterans by offering them free services on Veterans Day. When a local business shows its appreciation to veterans, patronize that business and let them know you appreciate their efforts to help.

Monday, Nov. 11: Jerseyville Veterans Day Parade at 9 a.m. beginning starts at Arch and State St. to Exchange, traveling west to Washington then south to the Jersey County Courthouse Square. Anyone wishing to take part in the parade is welcome. Line up on Arch St. in front of the Elks Lodge at 8:30 a.m. For veterans who are unable to walk, a bus will be available. Following the parade a ceremony centered on the War Memorial at the Courthouse will be held. * In case of inclement weather the parade will be cancelled and the ceremony will be held under the pavilion at the American Legion. After the ceremony the Amvets will be taking a bus to the local nursing homes to visit with the resident veterans. A free dinner for all veterans and their families at the American Legion Post 492 will be served at noon. Tuesday, Nov. 12: The Amvets will be taking a bus to Hardin to

Carrollton CUSD receives $10,000 grant to renovate greenhouse

Corn carting

Robert Lyons/Campbell Publications

Jim Manns pulls a grain cart full of corn to a waiting tractor trailer Monday morning in Jerseyville. Though some farmers have already taken soybeans from the fields, many fields still have corn waiting to be combined.

District named winner in America’s Farmers Grow Rural Education Carrollton’s horticulture and plant science students will soon have the opportunity to apply what they learn in real life situations. Thanks to the support of local farmers and America’s Farmers Grow Rural Education, Carrollton CUSD received a $10,000 grant to renovate the district’s greenhouse. The greenhouse will function as a lab for horticulture and plant science classes. “Valuable learning takes place when students can apply what they learn to real life situations. There is no limit to where we can go with this once we have the greenhouse built,” said Superintendent Dr. Kerry Cox. America’s Farmers Grow Rural Education, sponsored by the Monsanto Fund, offers farmers the chance to nominate a local public school district, which can then compete for a grant of up to $25,000 to enhance math and/ or science education. More than 1,150 nominated school districts submitted applications. The Monsanto Fund will invest $2.3 million through America’s Farmers Grow Rural Education grants this year. “The Monsanto Fund grant has helped us highlight the connections between math, science, and agriculture for our students. Without the support from the grant and our local farmers, we would not be able to meet our goals and objectives,” said

Superintendent Dr. Cox. Carrollton CUSD faculty, local farmers and Monsanto representatives participated in a check presentation ceremony to celebrate the district’s success. The presentation took place prior to the homecoming football game on Friday, Oct. 11, at the Carrollton High School Football Stadium. Nominated school districts across the country submitted grant applications in the spring. During the summer, a panel of educators from ineligible districts reviewed and evaluated applications based on merit, need and community involvement. The strongest submissions were then sent to the America’s Farmers Grow Rural Education Advisory Council. The Advisory Council, comprised of farmer-leaders with an interest in agriculture and education, selected the winning grant applications from this pool of finalists. “A record number of America’s farmers stepped up this year to improve math and science education in farming communities across the country,” said Deborah Patterson, Monsanto Fund president. “By nominating their local school districts to compete for this grant opportunity, these farmers demonstrated their dedication to growing the next generation. The Monsanto Fund is committed to strengthening rural America and this program is an exciting way to honor that commitment.”

Challenges facing farmers today and tomorrow Though farming was once big business in the United States, by 2012 less than 1 percent of Americans were professional farmers. Many challenges face today's farmers, many of which are largely unknown to the general public. Many people have an outdated view of a farm as a small, familyowned and operated parcel of land where livestock is raised in open pens and crops are hand-harvested when ripe. The reality is that modern-day farms have had to overhaul operations to meet demand and remain competitively priced while adapting to the everchanging ways technology infiltrates all parts of life. Each of these factors present obstacles for today's farmers. Technology Rural farming communities are expected to make an effort to integrate modern technology into an industry that has been around for centuries. But such a transition in rural areas, where communications systems may not be as upto-date as those in urban areas, is not always so easy. According to the Manitoba Rural Adaptation Council, a shift from a resource-based to an information-based economy, compounded by the rapid introduction and expansion of new technology in the workplace, has altered farm operation and the skills in demand. Older workers who have been schooled in one way of agriculture may have a significant impact on labor supply and the vitality of farming as a career. Younger adults who are knowledgeable in technology may no longer seek out agricultural careers. Decrease in farming as an occupation The United States Environmental Protection Agency says that only about 960,000 Americans claim farming as their principal occupation. As that figure has dwindled, the average age of farmers continues to rise, as the Bureau of Labor Statistics notes that roughly 40 percent of the farmers in this country are 55 years old or older. This has led to concerns about the long-term health of family farms

throughout the United States. Environmental concerns Many farmers have come under scrutiny for how farming impacts the environment. A growing emphasis on sustainability and conservation has led many people to protest certain farming practices. Protesters claim that certain practices, such as raising livestock, can pollute water, while the use of fertilizers and chemical pesticides is bad for the environment. Many farmers, however, have altered their methods to be more environmentally friendly and self-sustainable in the process. Financial fall-out The ongoing recession of the last half-decade has also affected farmers. In November of 2012, the United States Bureau of Labor Statistics indicated that the unemployment rate within the agriculture, forestry, fishing, and hunting industries was at 13.6 percent, far higher than the national unemployment rate. As a result, many farm families have found themselves stuck between a rock and a hard place, as rising costs for equipment and technology are being coupled with decreasing

profits and rising unemployment. Further complicating matters is competition from corporations and international food producers who have made it difficult for family farmers to turn a significant profit. Many family farmers rely on loans and lines of credit to survive, but thanks to changes in the financial sector that saw banks become less willing to extend lines of credit, some farmers are facing bankruptcy. Though it can be easy for those who do not work in the agricultural industry to overlook the struggles facing today's agricultural professionals, a greater understanding of those struggles and the challenges that lay ahead can benefit the industry and its employees down the road.

Cooking

up memories

Willow Rose Rehab and Health Care’s new cooking club has been a huge hit with the residents, staff and visitors. Erna Wald is a participant in the cooking club’s activities. The cooking club often centers its creations around the national food holidays held weekly. On average, approximately 20 - 25 residents, staff and visitors partake in the cooking club. For the month of October they celebrated homemade cookie day, national dessert day, candied apple day, seafood day and national apple month. The residents have made items such as chocolate chip cookies, Halloween witch’s hat cookies, mini pie tarts, crab rangoon, apple butter and candied apples. The cooking club also provides a back drop for interesting conversation and meeting new friends. It develops and maintains their fine motor skills by doing tasks such as cutting the food and mixing the ingredients. The club seeks to maintaining the residents’ quality of life by bringing them back to the tasks that most of them centered their lives around: food, family and great relationships.

Jerseyville Nursing and Rehabilitation Center residents Halloween costume winners are third place Dorothy Swearingin as clown, second place Mary Mcgrew as a cat, and Eddie Kallal as Mrs. Kallal.

Jersey bows out in Bartonville

Wednesday, November 6, 2013 Jerseyville, Illinois

Lady Panthers put up tough title fight

Mike McInerney/Jersey County Journal

Mike Weaver/Jersey County Journal

Jacob Varble cuts through the Limestone defense Saturday in Bartonville. The Panthers junior set a new Jersey Community High School single-game record with 13 receptions and totaled 134 yards against the Rockets, but Jersey was eliminated from the IHSA Class 5A playoffs as Limestone won a 47-27 decision. pantherfb.blogspot.com

Lia Roundcount puts down a kill attempt against Calhoun earlier this season at Jersey Community High School. The Lady Panthers junior totaled 10 kills and five blocks, but Jersey was edged by Roxana 27-25, 20-25, 25-17 Thursday in the Roxana Class 2A Regional championship match. michaelrweaver.com

SAM ELLIOTT Jersey County Journal In a familiar matchup of size versus speed, this time big brute strength prevailed. The Jersey Community High School football team ran into Limestone in the first round of the IHSA Class 5A playoffs and the Rockets ran right through the Panthers on their way to winning a 47-27 decision Saturday in Bartonville. "They were a physical team and a lot bigger than we were," Jersey head coach Dave Jacobs said. "Those are the kinds of teams that give us trouble." Limestone racked up 426 rushing yards, led by Dominic Johnson's 274 and five touchdowns. "We couldn't get their offense off the field," Jacobs said. "We didn't do a very good job of stopping them. It was just one of those games where things didn't go our way." The Rockets scored in less than four minutes on the game's opening possession, but the Panthers answered quickly with an 82-yard

kickoff return for a touchdown by junior Brendan Kennedy. But long possessions by Limestone kept Jersey's offense off the field until late in the first quarter. "We're kind of a rhythm team and they kept the ball away from us," Jacobs said. The Rockets scored 20-straight points spanning from late in the first quarter to the midway point of the second and went on to lead 34-13 at halftime. Senior running back Austin Lolos got the Jersey offense on the board with touchdown runs in the second and third quarters and caught a 51-yard scoring pass from classmate and quarterback Billy Ritchey. Lolos capped his second 1,000-yard rushing season with 63 yards on 13 carries. Ritchey — the school record holder for single-season passing yards and touchdowns — finished 23-of-41 passing for 256 yards, one touchdown and one interception. Most of Ritchey's throws went to junior Jacob Varble — already the school record holder in receptions and receiving yards — who set another

The Jersey Community High School volleyball team couldn't have come much closer to winning its first regional title since 1994, but Roxana prevailed 27-25, 20-25, 25-17 Thursday in the championship match of the Roxana Class 2A Regional. Junior Lia Roundcount led the Lady Panthers with 10 kills and five blocks. Senior Macy Thurston

Mike McInerney/Jersey County Journal

Jersey Community High School senior Austin Turman hangs on to catch a two-point conversion pass in the fourth quarter of the Panthers' playoff game against Limestone Saturday in Bartonville.

JCHS record for receptions in a single game with 13 for 134 yards. "I'm proud of our kids," Jacobs said. "It was good for this group of guys to do something special. We broke a lot of school records and we had a great group of guys that worked hard. It was awesome putting it together and having

added five kills, three blocks and eight service points with a pair of aces. Junior Ashton Kuehnel chipped in three kills, a matchhigh 11 blocks and eight service points while sophomore Aly Varble and senior Abby Rogers tallied one kill each with five and three blocks, respectively. Jersey finished its winningest season in school history 18-13.

Three Jr. Panthers teams reach postseason play

them play together. Getting back to the playoffs again was good." The Panthers' 2013 campaign ends with a 6-4 record, giving the program back-to-back seasons with .500 or better showings for the first time since 2003 and 2004. selliott@campbellpublications.net

Panthers prove program here to stay Next season presents Jersey with new rebuilding projects for title defense The Jersey Community High School boys soccer team took the area and Mississippi Valley Conference by storm last season, winning a record 20 games and its The Sam Antics By Sam Elliott first league title in history. Turns out that was no flash in the pan. Jersey absorbed the losses of one of its top scorers, its starting goalie and entire defense from 2012 and still repeated as conference champions while going 18-4-1 this season. "We had 10 seniors coming back who wanted to make a name for themselves," head coach Scott Burney said. That rebuilt defense did its part, allowing an average of just one goal per game to help keep Jersey in every match. "We had five positions to fill back there and only one true defender," Burney said. "We had four other guys that were actually forwards that stepped up and moved back there because they knew that was best for the team." Sophomore Zac Ridenhour stepped into the starting goalie spot and stepped up nicely, finishing the year with seven shutouts and a save percentage near 90 percent. But despite anchoring this season's defense, Ridenhour could be playing an offensive role next year. "He was our Defensive Player of

the Year this year, but we really think he could be accepting an offensive award next year," Burney said. "He’s a great athlete. If he’s our best goalie, he’ll be in there, but outside of that we have to rebuild again." The Panthers will bring back just two of their top-six scorers from this season in 2014. The biggest losses on offense will be Kyle Steckel (13 goals, 18 assists) and Tate Bohannon (14 goals, seven assists), while Josh Chappell and Brendan Goldacker combined for another 12 goals and as many assists. Jordan Jones and Jacob Witt, who scored 14 and 12 goals this season, respectively, will be called upon to shoulder the bulk of the scoring responsibilities next year. "They know that and they're willing to accept that," Burney said. "They're big goal threats. We've just got to find guys who can step un do what Tate, Brendan, Kyle and Josh did for us, which was distribute the ball and give us chances to score." The Panthers proved they're a program here to stay after a thirdstraight winning season and back-toback MVC titles. "All these kids know is winning now," Burney said. "None of our kids have experienced that losing soccer in high school." The JCHS soccer team lost much more often than it won in the years before the 2011 season, but that reputation's been thrown to the wayside these days. At this rate, you sure can't rule out more of the same in the future. selliott@campbellpublications.net

This project is funded by the Illinois Department of Transportation, Division of Traffic Safety.

ISP conducting Nighttime Enforcement Patrols The Illinois State Police (ISP), District 18, will conduct Nighttime Enforcement Patrols (NITE) during November, according to Captain Parsons. The ISP has zero tolerance for impaired drivers. Therefore, officers working NITE patrols will be watchful for drivers who are

operating vehicles in an unsafe manner, driving with a suspended or revoked driver’s license, transporting open alcoholic beverages, Driving Under the Influence (DUI), and are not properly buckled up. Alcohol and drug impairment is a significant factor in nearly 40 percent of all fatal motor vehicle

crashes in Illinois. These nighttime patrols are designed to keep our roads safe by taking dangerous DUI offenders off the road and ensuring all vehicle occupants are buckled up. This project is funded by the Illinois Department of Transportation, Division of Traffic Safety.

ISP conducting Occupant Restraint Enforcement Patrols Illinois State Police (ISP) District 18 Commander, Captain Parsons announced that District 18 Troopers will conduct Occupant Restraint Enforcement Patrols (OREP) during the month of November. OREP allows the ISP to target an area with saturation patrols that focus on traffic violations and related compliance with safety belt and child safety seat laws. Safety belt

enforcement zones will also be set up to ensure the driver and passengers are buckled up. Illinois law requires all vehicle passengers (front and back) to be buckled up! Safety belts are one of the most effective safety devices in vehicles today, estimated to save over 12,000 lives each year. Over half of vehicle occupants killed in a traffic crash were not properly

buckled up. The objective of this program is to increase compliance of occupant restraint laws through education, child seat inspections, and enforcement. Greater awareness, acceptance, and use of occupant protection equipment will save many lives. This project is funded through the Illinois Department of Transportation, Division of Traffic Safety.
