Jerseyville mayor argues time as factor in water vote

By JARAD JARMON Jersey County Journal Since a vote to sell Jerseyville’s water and wastewater systems to Illinois American Water Company was considered at the last city council meeting, critics have been vocal about their opposition to the move.

But, Jerseyville Mayor Bill Russell stressed time as a factor in consideration along with the complications that can come with retaining the water systems, an avenue critics have shown interest in.

The vote was tabled to the next Jerseyville City Council meeting today, Dec. 18.

“That is fine if every commission from here on out continues that course (of raising rates accordingly), but you see how politics works in Washington D.C.,” Russell said. “They don’t work any different in small governments as they do in federal. They are just dealing with different people and different levels of government.” “(Politicians) makes decisions that are sometimes more for their benefit than the communities benefit because they are worried about re-election,” he said. “That is not my concern here.”

The work the city would have to put in would cost roughly $22-25 million.

“I can’t see putting the city in 50 years of long-term debt with all of the work that needs to be done,” Russell said.

Tom Klasner, Jersey County engineer, said his three-man crew had been working around the clock since noon on Sunday.

During the Grafton City Council meeting, building and zoning administrator, Jay Wrubel, said city crews spent 14 to 15 hours straight working on the roads.

Jersey County, according to the National Weather Service, received between four to five inches of snow.

“There was not as much snow here in Jersey as in Madison,” Klasner said. “It’s not too bad.”

Another key factor in helping these crews prepare was anticipating snowfall. Unlike, during Veteran’s Day weekend, crews were able to get out onto the roads as soon as the snow began falling.

The county has three trucks for three workers, but there are also 11 township commissioner’s responsible for taking care of township roads. What measures are taken to address the accumulation depends on the area.

Klasner said the county focuses on salting hills, curves and intersections. Places where snow and ice can lead to disastrous results. Township roads, on the other hand, because of funds, will not salt the entire road. This is something to keep in mind as commuters try and navigate their way across the county.

The advice that Klasner and others give to commuters is to stay home if at all possible during these severe weather events.

Much of the snow fell on Sunday, meaning that many were able to remain inside.

“That does make a huge difference,” Klasner said. “It happened on a Sunday, and people were more prepared for it.”

However, Klasner did have one other piece of advice for drivers: “Give room to the snow plows,” he said. “They are focused on what they are doing and can’t see everyone.”

Grafton City votes to review building permit fees

By KRIS SCHEFFEL Jersey County Journal Several votes were taken regarding concerns about a potential discrepancy in the building permit fees during the Grafton City Council meeting this past Tuesday. While a motion to review the calculations of the permit fees of Grafton SkyTour failed to pass, a motion, under suspension of rules, to review the permit fees of the Marina was passed.

The debate began with a concern raised by Council member Jim Spencer, who in speaking to a Jersey County official, was led to believe that Grafton SkyTour may have paid less than it should for a building permit.

“If everyone remembers from our August meeting, I was questioning the actual permit fee of $350,000 and a permit of $1,300,” Spencer said. “I then contacted Jersey County Building Department, and they informed me that typically the permit would or should have been based upon the total costs of the principle structures, accessory structures and all improve-

ments... Therefore, a $2 million cost with the fee being $9,550.”

Further elaborating on the issue, Spencer said he did not actually believe any calculations were made to determine the $1,300 fee. Instead, he noted that a similar fee was calculated based on another structure that SkyTour owner Jeff Lorton had intended to construct.

“I also asked, well how did we come up with the $350,000,” Spencer said. “Well, I think Jeff told us that was based upon, once again, the concrete work and stuff that took place there.

“Well, that wasn’t the case... It was based upon (his) building down in the parking lot of the Marina, which was $313,000, and that fee was transferred to the SkyTour for a total cost of $350,000. So, I did not see any calculations. It was just based upon the building permit that (he) paid for for (his) building that (he was) gonna build down there.”

(Continued from A1) Critics have argued the city, unlike a business such as Illinois American Water would also be able to take advantage of grants and loans to help with the work, but Russell said it is not as viable a plan as it might seem. “In order to apply for those EPA and USDA loans, you have to have projects engineered and turned in before they will review it. I can’t just say, ‘EPA, I need $5 million dollars today.’ â€œâ€ŚSo, now the city has to spend upfront engineering money to get even in front of them for review.â€?

At this point, it would still be a gamble for the money, Russell indicated. “Look at those communities that have applied for those IEPA loans,� Russell said. “See how long they have been in there. See how long it takes to get that process moving.�

But, time is a factor with the upgrades and repairs to the water systems in the city. “I am not saying it can’t happen, but it should have happened 20 years ago,�

Russell said.

At this point, it is too little, too late for the city to be considering these things when time is a critical factor in the deci-

(Continued from A1) $1,300 permit fee and what Spencer calculated, he said was $8,250.

The link between the SkyTour structure and the building near the Marina, Spencer said, came from an email between him and Building and Zoning Administrator Jay Wrubel. Wrubel pushed back against this connection. “That was a number that was brought just to that,� he said. “It had no focus with any other structures in town.

You’re asserting that, but that’s not true.�

Referring to the email, Spencer said the check, dated Jan. 23, showed the address of the building near the Marina. “When the building permit was canceled, instead of writing another check, the money was transferred to the permit for the Grafton SkyTour,� he said. “But my question is, how was that calculated, and who decided to accepted the project cost for the permit of $350,000 and for a permit fee of $1,300?�

Debate opened up about the particular formula used by the city and how it potentially differed from the one used by Jersey County. This largely centered around what was included in the total costs of construction. Spencer claimed that the total should include “all principle structures, all accessory structures and all other improvements.�

Councilman Andy Jackson disagreed with Spencer. “But that’s a difference between equipment and structures,� he said. “So, if someone in town was going to open up a restaurant, and they were gonna build this building and they were gonna put in refrigerators and stoves and dishes and knives and forks... not all of that goes into the building permit.�

A question was then raised about how the actual building permit fee was calculated from this total, whatever it may include. Spen-

Time is a factor in Russell’s hesitancy with other options critics of the move to sell have championed including joining the Illinois Alluvial Regional Water Company.

Notably, the U.S. Department of Agriculture approved a $42 million rural development loan and a $24 million grant to completely fund the construction of a new system to be operated by the Illinois Alluvial Regional Water Company that would run through Jersey.

Currently, Carlinville, Bunker Hill, Dorchester and the Jersey County Rural Water Company have accepted to allow the company to supply the water. “They are probably 5 years out before they’re online and able to provide anything,� Russell said. “What do I do In the meantime if something happens to my plant.�

Financially, the city cannot wait however long it would actually take for that system to be online, he said.

Should the city commissioners vote to keep it, the rates will need to go up and do so quickly. “If we keep it, we have to raise our rates right now,� Russell said.

Russell stressed property taxes would

cer responded and said that $150,000 project, which is the base cost, would have a $300 permit fee. “Now, in his case, the $350,000 was $1,300,� he said.

A building permit fee for a structure over a cost of $150,000, such as in this case, would then be calculated by adding $5 for every thousand above that base $150,000 total.

However, Spencer argued that the actual cost for the SkyTour project was closer to $2 million, based on the formula he was given by the county. This then led to a calculation that the total building permit fee should have been $9,550.

Alderwoman Donna Smith then raised a question about whether the council had any jurisdiction or authority to change the initial permit fee. “I think it’s in our jurisdiction to review it,� Spencer said.

Following a motion to have Jim Schrempf, city council, to review the calculations, the council, in a split vote, denied

the motion.

However, the issue raised similar concerns regarding the building permit fee of another property in Grafton, the Marina. “If we all agreed that this fee structure is correct, and it’s been on the books for a long time, what if somebody didn’t pay anything,� Smith asked.

Schrempf, following a prompt, said that, as far as he knew, there had never been a building permit fee waved. “I can’t recall any circumstance where the council weighed in and said wave the building permit fee,� he said. “You often waive fees for special events, but I’ve never heard of one for construction.

Not to say it didn’t happen fifteen years ago or whatever.�

Smith, in reference to documents, said the city had received a check from the Marina for the building permit fee in the amount of $400, but the check was never cashed. “The building permit for the Marina, in which a $6 million figure price was put on, a

likely go up as well as the water bill should they chose to retain operation of the water and wastewater systems. Since the sewer plant was built, the city has abated the tax for bond payments for the plant that would go on residents’ property taxes. Russell said they have been able to skim through and make the bond payment without the tax so far. “If we keep it (the city’s water systems), the chances of that happening anymore are gone,� Russell said.

He said it would just not be feasible keeping in mind the work that needs to be done.

Critics of sale, several of whom were from the Citizen’s Advisory Committee, also expressed worry of an increase to water rates beyond what would be the case if the city retained ownership. The committee, which was formed a couple of years ago with a goal to determine a citizen’s perspective on the water and wastewater systems issue, notably recommended against selling, although it was not unanimous.

Those opposing the sale have pointed to a statement from Bartlett & West, an engineering group employed by the city to look at the options regarding the water systems in the city.

check for $400 was written, and it was never cashed by the city,� she said. “Therefore, that’s a zero amount paid...�

Smith said that the permit fee calculations had not changing in the time since the building permit was acquired by the Marina.

As for the check the city received, Spencer questioned the responsibility of the Marina in not cashing it. “Now is that the fault of the Marina or is that the fault of the city?,� he asked.

A motion was made under the suspension of rules to have Schrempf review the building permit fee calculations of the Marina. In another split vote, the motion passed. “Since we brought it up, and since there’s obviously some sort of discrepancy on the Marina, I’d like to have that reviewed,� Jackson said.

Also in the meeting: Mayor Rick Eberlin gave an update on a number of flood relief programs. A representative from the Federal Emergency Management Agency will be holding a second meeting on Wednesday

It stated, “the average monthly combined water and sewer bill from the (Illinois American Water Company) would be 20 percent to 25 percent higher in the future than if the city maintains ownership.�

Mayor Russell said the rates, whether the city keeps or sells, will be “comparable.� He noted he has talked to 13 mayors of municipalities with Illinois American Water and had not heard warning of drastically raised rates once privatized. “Do you not think the public would be in an uproar as a whole if that was the situation,� Russell said.

Russell added city leaders have studied this issue heavily. “They have been researching this for a long, long time,� Russell said. “It is an issue that has tugged at all of us and not one that any of them have taken lightly.

As far as how (the vote) is going to go, we are all going to find out Wednesday night.�

The vote will take place after press time for the Jersey County Journal. “If the commission decides it is in the best interest to keep it, I am going to support that,� Russell said. “If they feel it is in the best interest to sell it, I am going to support that.�

regarding Public Assistance.

Regarding the Illinois Department of Natural Resources Buyout program, Eberlin said he hoped to keep from having any properties turned into city green space. However, of the green space from prior buyouts, Grafton may become part of a pilot program currently being discussed by senators at the federal level, which will potentially reintroduce these green spaces into use. For business owners, the deadline for Small Business Administration loans is Jan. 13.

The city has received inquiries regarding the Fourth of

July celebrations in 2020. The calendar shows that the fourth will fall on a Saturday, an ideal day for the city to hold its fireworks show, Eberlin said. The city will go forward with plans for a fireworks display on the fourth.

Santa’s Chocolate Express saw a great turnout with 385 participants, nearly doubling the number of participants from when it began.

The mayor announced he is ready to begin making appointments to the city’s new historic commission.

Those appointments should be made prior to the next city council meeting.

After his arrival he joined his big brother, John, and parents at their home in Jerseyville. He was one of seven children born to Herbert Bertman and Doris (Ruyle) Bertman. Bob was a lifelong resident of Jerseyville, where he developed many close friendships over his lifetime.

Bob was a 1955 graduate of Jersey Community High School, where he and his future brother-in-law were notorious pranksters.

He served his country in the Army Reserves, stationed at Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri.

After 6 months of basic training Bob continued to train on weekends each month for 6 years. As the Veterans chaplain at BJC explained to Bob and his family, Bob and his Army brothers had the backs of those serving full time, always ready and willing to support their brothers in battle. Bob’s life profession and passion was managing and eventually owning Bertman’s Department Store, a family business which began in 1902. Bob and his brother John were tasked with running the business early in life when their father died in 1958. He was forever grateful to Gene Beiermann, who managed the store and helped the young men learn how to manage the store on their own. Bob often talked about the friendships he made with coworkers at Bertman’s. Bob retired from the business in 1999, but old customers still talk about the customer service and quality clothing.

Men appreciated Bob dressing them in complete outfits including socks and matching belt. Wedding tuxedos were always fitted perfectly, being sent out for altering if the initial fit was not just right.

Bertman’s was a family operation, all of Bob’s siblings worked in the store growing up, as well as his wife, Karen, and his daughters. Bob was a member of the Jerseyville Chamber of Commerce, serving as president in 1995.

of St. Francis Xavier Catholic Church but would often attend Holy Ghost Catholic Church, where his buddy, Father William Hembrow, was pastor. Bob had such a good time each year with other men of the parishes cleaning up after the Harvestfest. He was a member of the Knights of Columbus and Westlake Country Club.

On May 30, 1961 he married the former Karen Busch at St. Francis Xavier Catholic Church in Jerseyville and they were blessed with 58 years of marriage and two daughters. Karen does not remember a time without Bob because Bob and her brother, Bill, were lifelong friends.

Karen and Bob enjoyed travelling to purchase merchandise for the store. During one of those trips they danced to their favorite song, ‘“On Top of the World”, on a beautiful snowy winter evening on top of the John Hancock Building. He also enjoyed vacation travel with their group of special friends. Bob was always up for a game of softball, basketball, tennis, or ping pong and was usually the instigator in getting the game started.

He loved watching all the kid’s sports events and would often have pointers for the grandkids and great grandkids when the game was over. Some of his fondest childhood memories included softball and football games at Schleper field. As a Dad he led games at Swearingin’s lot, where all the kids of the neighborhood would come together to play. He also enjoyed bowling at Busch’s Bowl with his Tuesday night buddies, and most recently enjoyed playing ping pong on winter days at Westlake. Bob also enjoyed keeping his yard beautiful on his John Deere 180 turn mower. Bob was a poet, writing heartfelt poetry for friends and family. And

Kenneth A. Gibbs, 77, passed into eternity and his final rest on December 16, 2019.

He was born in East St. Louis, IL at Christian Welfare Hospital on Jan. 2, 1942 to Merle D.C. “Skip” Gibbs and Lorraine “Corky” (Webb) Gibbs.

He lived in Caseyville, IL until 1951, at which time his family moved to the East Alton area. He went to local schools until his sophomore year, when he moved to the Bethalto area. He graduated from Civic Memorial High School in 1959. He entered the U.S. Navy, rising to the rank of Radioman 2nd Class (RM2, E-5). He served on board the USS Richard S. Edwards DD-950, a destroyer, out of San Diego, CA serving in the Pacific and most all oceans and seas west until Oct. 1962.

He was then transferred to the USS Mullany DD-528, another destroyer, for the duration of the Cuban Missile Blockade. He then left the Navy and returned to the area in the summer of 1963.

He spent three years working on the extra board for the A & S and GM & O Railroads.

He went to work for Illinois Power Co. in 1970 as a laborer out of Local #218, then #3090, becoming a journeyman lineman in the Granite City area.

He returned to the Wood River

area in 1990. He retired in 2004, his last position being night troubleshooter on a oneman truck.

He enjoyed outdoor sports including fishing, hunting, boating, motorcycles and flying. He was an accomplished pilot, earning both a single engine and multi engine license and as a flight instructor for CFII and MEII, plus a commercial helicopter license.

If he knew you, it was not uncommon to see him coming in and landing right in your yard or driveway. He and his good friend Phil Castelli spent many hours doing just that among other side adventures including helicopters and various other aircraft.

Ken enjoyed his trips to Florida and Mississippi with Don Speight and Phil Castelli, bumming around “sun and fun” with many other “Airport Bum” friends. “Whether you had a million dollars and

a dozen aircraft, or worked for an hourly wage, flying just once a week, we were all bonded together by our love of flying and treated one another equally.”

He was preceded in death by his parents; two brothers, Skip and Gary Gibbs; and one son, Scott Gibbs.

He leaves behind the love of his life, Pattie (Bryarly) Gibbs, who stood by his side in both good times and bad, thick and thin, sickness and health, plus many other situations that came their way. He is also survived by his son Pat Gibbs of Wood River; sisters Georgene (Terry) Myers of Worden, Marilee Tuck of Pennsylvania, Patty “Benson” (Mark) Hultz of Troy, Illinois; three grandchildren and two great grandchildren; and his favorite uncle, Charles Jessie “Chuck” Stowers and his wife Ida of Collinsville, Illinois.

Our VIEWS

Pay attention to snow plow drivers

Phone (618) 498-1234 E-mail: circulation@ campbellpublications.net

The issue: Snow plow drivers are focused on the road.

Our view: Drivers need to be mindful of plows.

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

I

t is often reiterated over and over again by emergency officials to try and stay home when the snow starts accumulating — warning of slick roads and potential collisions with other drivers on the road.

In this case, depending on the day, the roads were relatively absent of vehicles, which local officials attributed to timing.

The latest snowfall landed on a Sunday and people were more prepared for the snow and could avoid it all together — at least on Sunday.

As the snow kept coming down, there were some drivers definitely combing the streets of the county — those driving the snow plows clearing the roads.

These are ones that need more consideration when braving the snow and heading out on the road. Tom Klasner, Jersey County engineer, indicated that people can be seen speeding past snow plows or simply not paying attention as a whole to the hulking trucks — a problem because in some cases they cannot see anyone.

“They are focused on what they are doing and can’t see everyone,” Klasner said.

When they are in view, drive slow and be attentive. Beyond simply being advisable move, people should keep in mind that when a snow plow is on the road, conditions are usually far from ideal.

Nationally, many collisions can often be chalked up to inattention from motorists combined with poor road conditions and poor visibility. Keeping in mind the poor conditions, one should better prepare themselves when coming up to a snow plow.

Klasner said he receives calls when there are particular areas of safety concern. Notably, this snowfall garnered no complaint calls to the county highway department.

Apart from a safety perspective, we see paying attention and being aware of snow plow drivers when they are out on the road as a deserving sign of respect for individuals that can be often forgotten. Their work often goes unnoticed when roads are cleared, but in the absence of it, complaints from the community ring out in full force.

So when you are out on the roads during the next snowstorm, stay safe, stay warm, pay attention and, ultimately, be grateful of those that go out in the thick of it to clear the streets of snow and ice.

Q:

What is an ideal Christmas for you?

A. I enjoy hanging out with family and staying at home.

B. A Christmas Party is the ideal holiday tradition.

C. I savor going out to see a movie.

D. I like to take part in volunteering efforts on the day.

Last week's poll question

do you think of the changes to Q: What SNAP/ food stamps?

56% 0% 0% 44%

It is a step toward curbing laziness, government dependency.

The changes are unreasonable, ignorant of low income challenges.

The program was being abused, but I am not sure these were a benefit.

The SNAP program should not even exist

Is Cabela’s serious about new Christmas advertisement

By BILL HOAGLAND Christmas is coming, and like many others, I struggle to find a gift for certain people in my family.

So to get some ideas, I like to look at the Cabela/Bass Pro circular in particular, since there are a number of outdoor enthusiasts in the family. Last week, I was looking at the most recent Cabela Christmas circular and a particular item in the “toy” section caught my attention.

It was a plastic handgun that looked more like a sawed-off shotgun than a pistol.

According to the ad, it shoots table salt.

The ad does not say how many grains of salt are expelled at once, but hopefully we are not talking about a “shotgun blast” of salt with each pull of the trigger. But what really caught my attention was the promotional language that accompanied the text.

The ad said that this item is “safe for kids and pets!”

Let’s start with the “pets”. Does Cabela’s think that your dog will be thrilled to find this gun under the tree with his name on the package? I don’t know about your dogs, but mine are not “packing any heat” (as far as I know) and none of them are getting a gun for Christmas—plastic or otherwise.

So why would this toy “be safe for pets”? Does Cabela’s suspect your pet will become the usual target when no adults are around? I can understand why some kids would be tempted to shoot a moving target that yelps when hit, but why empower a fiendish child with a gun that shoots table salt anyway?

Advertising: jcjadvertising@campbellpublications.net

And is this toy really “safe for kids”? I guess it depends on how you define kids.

The ad gives no clue. But it does say that this gun “is a nightmare for flies within three feet.”

“Nightmare” is not a word that seems appropriate for a toy gun advertisement but what do I know? Maybe that word really “triggers” sales. From other literature in the ad, it sounds as if this gun is supposed to be used inside the house to shoot flies. That sure sounds like “fun times” to me until a child gets a grain of salt in the eye, and you are spending the rest of Christmas Day in the emergency room.

Frankly, if you have enough flies in your house that the kids will have a blast after Christmas gunning them down, maybe your home needs more than a toy gun that shoots grains of table salt.

Remembering Private First Class Bobby Windle A couple of weeks ago marked the 76th anniversary of Pearl Harbor and the death of 18-year-old PFC Robert England Windle, who was killed when the Japanese attacked the Hawaiian naval base on Dec. 7.

He was the first Jersey County resident killed in World War II. Bobby was born in Fort Smith, Ark., to Jerseyville native Carolyn England and Mississippi native Bob Windle. His maternal grandparents were Ben and Mary (Aylward) England.

The 1930 federal census shows the Windle family living in Florida, but when Bob passed away in 1939, Bobby moved to Jerseyville to live with his grandparents.

Bobby was gifted academically and athletically. He was an outstanding football player, a member of the high school’s mixed chorus, and did well in school.

He graduated from Jersey Township High School in 1940 and less than a month later enlisted in the U.S. Marine Corps.

After completing basic training in San Diego, Bobby joined the crew of the USS Arizona in September 1940. He was aboard the battleship the following December, when more than 350 Japanese aircraft took aim on Pearl Harbor’s battleship row.

Roughly 15 minutes into the attack, a bomb detonated a powder magazine on the Arizona, causing a massive explosion.

1,177 officers and crewmen, including 23 sets of brothers and a father and son, were killed.

For more than a month, Carolyn hoped Bobby had somehow managed to survive the attack, but in mid-January, she received a letter from a fellow Marine stating that the Japanese bomb that destroyed the battleship had hit the gun near where Bobby was stationed.

Reporters: Carmen Ensinger

The young Guest Column man wrote: “ W h i l e BY BETH MCGLASSON we were still ‘green boots’ at San Diego we made a solemn pact. If ever one of us were to be killed in action or captured by the enemy, the other would write to the mother of the man so indisposed. It has fallen my lot to carry out this pact – and I cannot find the words to convey my feelings upon this occasion.

“Had it been otherwise, I’m sure that Bob would have carried out the bargain much sooner and with greater finesse than I could ever muster ... Please try to understand this Mrs. Windle, Bob didn’t lose his life – he gave it, and I had a thousand times rather it had been mine, than to have to write a letter to his mother ...”

A requiem mass was led by Rev. John Clancy at St. Francis Xavier Church was held in Bobby’s honor, but the USS Arizona Memorial in Pearl Harbor marks the final resting place of his body and 1,100 other marines and sailors.

Bobby was posthumously awarded the Purple Heart, American Defense Service Medal with Fleet Clasp, Asiatic-Pacific Campaign Medal with Star and the World War II Victory Medal.

Three years after his death, the Robert Windle chapter of the Jersey County War Dads was formed to help servicemen. The organization’s membership included more than 100 men.

Card of Thanks

Cotners celebrate 50 years Carole (East) Cotner and Tom Cotner are celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary Dec. 20. They were married in DeKalb, Ill., while she was attending Northern Illinois University and he was working as a carpenter on high rises in downtown Chicago.

Early in their marriage, they moved to Great Falls, Mont., where their three children were born: Corinne (Jason) Burkett, Melissa Cotner-Eardley and Lee Cotner. In 1984, they returned to the family farm in Jersey County where she worked as a teacher and then guidance counselor in Jersey Community Unit 100, and he worked as a carpenter until their retirement in 2008.

Their grandchildren are Arianna, Hannah and Elijah Burkett of Colorado Springs, Colo., and Makayla and Madalyn Eardley of Dow.

We would like to thank our family and friends for all the love and kindness shown to us after the recent passing of Bob. Thank you to those who visited, sent cards or flowers, provided food, or made a monetary donation.
