Health officials gave an update on the state’s COVID19 vaccine plan Friday with potential federal approval anticipated as early as next week. Gov. JB Pritzker said the state still expects to get 109,000 doses to be initially distributed in the 50 counties with the highest per capita death rates, but it will be several months until there is an adequate number of

vaccine doses available for the general population. For context, there are 102 counties in the state. Following the recommendation of Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices, the Centers for Disease Control and the Illinois Department of Public Health and other public health professionals, the first vaccines will be dedicated to hospital and healthcare workers in these 50 counties, which were selected because they are the counties with the highest death rates per capita. Jersey County is listed at No. 31. According to the most recent update from the Jersey County Health Department, 23 have died in relation to COVID19. Health department officials reported the latest COVID-19 death Sunday, Dec. 6. Currently, Jersey has 235

active cases across the county. The number of those in the county who have recovered has reached 1,225. The vaccines will be shipped to ten Regional Hospital Coordinating Centers who will then coordinate distribution to the 50 counties. Those hospitals will work with local hospitals to identify and vaccinate the first recipients. At the top of the list is Greene County. From there, in descending order: Wayne, Carroll, Ford, Mason, Union, Pike, Clay, Jefferson, Clinton, Whiteside, Fayette, Marion, Monroe, Cass, Bureau, Clark, Macon, Warren, La Salle, Williamson, Richland, Coles, Perry, Morgan, Knox, McDonough, Shelby, Suburban Cook, Jasper, Jersey, Saline, Christian, Iroquois, Saint Clair, Dewitt, Kankakee, Rock Island, Madison, Lake, Winnebago,

Angel Tree Ministries sees challenges filling needs in community By JARAD JARMON Jersey County Journal There are certainly challenges that those of the Jersey County Angel Tree Program need to adjust to every year to ensure that Santa is able to visit everyone regardless of means, but this year has turned out to be a different beast altogether. “I feel like every year, we have to make some adjustments,” Janice Arnold, Angel Tree coordinator, said “Whether it is the building or the help we have or what is going on, but I must say that this is quite a different year with COVID-19 compared to anything I have experienced in my 22 years of sharing this event.” As is the case for other organizations who normally see a flurry of support during the giving season, Angel Tree Ministries is seeing a deep need for volunteers interested in adopting or “building” as they say. Normally, the little “angels,” which are the paper angels representing a child in the community who may not have seen their letters to Santa answered without the support of the community, would be seen all across town either on trees and windows in businesses and churches.

“I must say that this is quite a different year with COVID19 compared to anything I have experienced in my 22 year of sharing this event.”

Janice Arnold Angel Tree Ministries “Usually our bright little angels are hanging all over town,” Arnold said. “They (adopters) pluck one, and they do what they want.” “If you pluck an angel, and your ability is to bring them a pair of shoes, then we are just thankful for those shoes as (would be the case) for someone who plucked it and brought in some fun and some essentials,” she elaborated. Every year, Angel Tree sees a healthy dose of volunteers and adopters making sure the operation runs smoothly and these children get their presents ahead of Dec. 25.

But because of COVID, the process has been complicated, affecting not only the behindthe-scenes work, but the slate of volunteers ready to help – namely adopters and builders. Adopters are individuals who “adopt” a specific child to get gifts for. Builders essentially “build” these kids’ Christmas, making sure some, if not all, of the things they asked for are covered. In previous years, builders used to finish out families, but the traffic of adopters has taken a hit because of COVID-19, and to the volunteer workforce in general. Among those groups normally helping out are those from the churches and the schools, but because of COVID-19, they can’t come to help out in the ways they normally would as a group. “I don’t think the community realizes just sometimes how much the high school kids and junior high kids do,” Arnold said. “In the last five years, between the high school and the junior high, they have adopted 50 children and provided Christmas for 50 kids.” This year’s hit to the number of volunteers has forced a pivot for local Angel Tree Ministry leaders.

Break-ins reported across four-county area

JERSEY COUNTY

By JARAD JARMON Jersey County Journal Numerous people across four counties reported vehicle break-ins in the early part of last week, and authorities are calling on locals to be vigilant about locking car doors and not leaving keys inside of vehicles. Calhoun and Jersey County sheriff’s officials said several individuals in a small area reportedly had items reportedly removed from their vehicles late Monday, early Tuesday Nov. 30- Dec. 1. In Calhoun, specifically, a vehicle was stolen. In Calhoun, numerous valuables including guns and electronics were taken from the vehicles; however, there was no forced entry in these cases, Calhoun Sheriff’s Office Chief Deputy Greg Weishaupt said. And similar incidents were reported in Jersey, Greene and Madison counties. Jersey Sheriff Mike Ringhausen said in Fieldon, early Dec. 1 it was found that there were several but “less than a dozen” “break-ins” where valuables were stolen from unlocked vehicles.

It is not clear at this time if these break-ins are related; however, Weishuapt noted they were similar at least in methodology. “We don’t know if it is the same group, but it is the same method, and very well could be the same group,” Weishaupt said. “They hit fast and leave and go to another place, hit fast and leave. Ringhausen said this methodology includes not actuallying breaking in. “They are not breaking in as far as smashing windows and jimming locks,” Ringhausen said. “They are just walking down the street and pulling handles.” “...And if they get in, they get in,” Weishaupt said. “If the door is locked, they move on to something else. They don’t take the time to actually break in.” This is why local law enforcement has urged residents to lock their car doors and not leave valuables in the vehicle – at least visibly. “They get into the small rural towns, because people are less likely to keep their stuff locked,” Weishaupt said.

Kane, Randolph, DuPage, Will, Ogle, Jo Daviess, Tazewell, Cumberland and Stark. Of note, Pike is No. 7; Madison, No. 39; and Morgan, No. 25. That means it’s just as important as ever to maintain social distance, wear face coverings, avoid large gatherings and get a flu shot, according to Pritzker and Illinois Department of Public Health Director Dr. Ngozi Ezike. The first vaccine that could be approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration by Dec. 10 is manufactured by the drug company Pfizer. It requires an initial dose, then another three to four weeks later. Pritzker said the first shipment could arrive in two weeks. Another vaccine from the drug company Moderna could get approval one week following the Pfizer vaccine.

The initial recipients will be health care workers and longterm care residents. Pritzker said 655,000 people in Illinois qualify as frontline health care workers – 162,000 in Chicago and 493,000 outside of Chicago. Approximately 110,000 adults statewide live in congregate care settings, he said. After that group will be “other essential workers and persons at higher risks of severe COVID19 illness, including persons 65 years of age and older,” according to the state’s vaccine plan. Then it will be “critical populations” as defined by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and its Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices, or ACIP. Then the general population can receive the vaccine. (See, VACCINE, A2)

County board looking to issue revenue bonds By CONNOR ASHLOCK Jersey County Journal The Jersey County Board met last Tuesday morning at 9 a.m., where a major point of discussion was the decision of the board to pass a resolution regarding the sale of revenue bonds for upcoming work to be performed on the courthouse. The resolution of intent provided for the issuance of revenue bonds up to but not exceeding $3.5 million for repairs to the courthouse and jail facility in an effort to address building integrity, HVAC and moisture-related issues, such as potential mold growth. For several months, the county board has been working to find a solution to a several-years long issue regarding HVAC issues with the courthouse complex, which comprises the historic 1894 courthouse and the 1985 county jail. Also, other structural matters must be addressed. In addition to the HVAC issue, the board has been exploring possible solutions to moisture accumulation in the complex, which is a matter of high concern for county officials because moisture accumulation may mean mold growth. “The courthouse is in need of repair and some things need to be addressed over in the sheriff’s office as well,” County Board Chairman Don Little said. “When you have moisture accumulation, you have the likelihood of mold growth, and there’s moisture accumulation in both facilities. There’s also

structural issues concerning the courthouse. Tuckpointing is required, and some areas of the courthouse roof need repaired or replaced.” The solution that the county board has come up with is to sell revenue bonds that will not exceed $3.5 million. “$3.5 million is probably more than what the entire cost will be, but notice will have to be given to taxpayers concerning this and whatever the amount of money is, it cannot exceed the amount listed in that notice,” Little said. The county board is aware that the selling of bonds might receive negative feedback from the community, but Little shared that he is confident that the board is on the right track with this decision. “I expect the possibility of concern,” Little said. “With such a move as this that is being pursued, one has to expect there will be questions and rightfully so – that’s a lot of money. But, I’m confident that the board, and in particular the building and grounds committee, which has been looking at options for close to a year now, have carefully arrived where they have with their decision-making.” Additionally, the employees of the courthouse complex, which includes those who work throughout the courthouse and jail, as well as prisoners, will be exposed to potentially hazardous conditions should the complex not receive the necessary repairs.

GOOD TO KNOW SANTA HAS A GOOD RHYTHM The Jersey Community Hospital’s clinic along South State Street in Jerseyville has decked the halls for the Christmas season, which includes their ambulance, too. Passersby will notice Santa waving to them from the driver’s seat while a heart monitor traces a rhythm along the front end of the ambulance. Santa, that rhythm appears to be what the nurses call a normal sinus rhythm, so good job on staying healthy this year.

Vaccine

(Continued from A1) “In other words, this will not be a quick process. With the twodose timeline, no single person will be fully vaccinated even by Christmas, and it will likely be months before people with low risk factors for COVID-19 see their first dose,” Pritzker said. “But the very fact that we have this timeline is the result of incredible private sector innovation and long standing public investment in scientific research.” Pritzker said the first shipment, if indeed it includes 109,000 doses, would be divided into 23,000 doses directly to Chicago and 86,000 to be distributed to the rest of the state. It also must be kept at 70 degrees below zero Celsius, so the state has purchased 20 ultracold freezers, according to Ezike. She said IDPH will receive the initial shipment directly from the CDC and will store it at the strategic national stockpile site. IDPH has identified 10 hospitals to serve as regional distribution sites to local health depart-

ments in the first 50 counties to receive the vaccine. Ezike also noted there is a federal partnership between Walgreens and CVS pharmacies to vaccinate long-term care residents, and all but five of the state’s long-term care facilities have signed up to be part of the program thus far. The state will work to register the final five, she said. The Illinois Comprehensive Automated Immunization Registry Exchange is the web-based immunization record sharing application that will log the vaccination records, Ezike said. “(The system) allows both public and private health care providers to share immunization records of Illinois residents with other physicians and public health officials statewide,” she said. Pritzker said ACIP is considering how to best distribute the vaccine in at-risk communities, and he noted, “we also know that for many reasons, Black and brown Americans have dispro-

Challenges

(Continued from A1) “Without the ability to get these children out in the community or people to pick them up, then we decided we would start “building” these children in house directly,” Arnold said. “Normally, our store used to finish them off, but this time we are doing it just the opposite. We are using our little store to get them started. Then, we are putting pleas out.” Regularly, on the Angel Tree Program of Jersey County Facebook page, they will put out calls for someone to purchase some kind of item that they can then add to the specific kids’ Christmas. In previous years, they have put out calls, but only to finish out gifts. The Angel Tree store, located at 402 W Carpenter St., acts as a mini-Walmart of sorts with items builders can pull from to then “complete a family.” The store is often a place for people to donate should they not want to take on a child themselves. “One lady walked into the door and brought a whole box of stuff because she did not want to take an angel,” Arnold said. “Last year after Christmas, probably literally, she bought a lot of clearance winter things, and then she brings them in, and we have them to fill in for the children.” But there are gaps in what is on offer at the store, normally. “The nerf guns, the action figures, the Avengers, the superheroes,” Arnold said as an example. “Those are never things that we have on our shelf that we have an abundance of to pick for the next 10 little

Break-ins

boys that are that age. So in the next few days, those will be the things I will be pleaing for non-stop.” Because of COVID, organizers have also had to change up how wrapping was done. Every year before this, wrapping was done in house, but that is likely going to be different this year. “The room that typically, at this point, is filled with people doing nothing but wrapping from like 8 a.m. in the morning to midnight [is empty],” Arnold said. “This year, I have not allowed any wrappers in the building.” And it is likely to stay that way. “At this moment, we have made the decision that the volunteers I need in the building are strictly the volunteers who are what we call ‘builders,’” Arnold said. “I am trying to keep us in a safe zone, because if I lose my builders who are putting these Christmases together for these children, it doesn’t really matter if they are wrapped or not – I am not going to have a Christmas for them.” The plan currently is to give families the wrapping paper and tape to do it themselves. Even still, there is still a need for support to help fulfill these kids’ wishes. Traffic of adopters and volunteers in general may have diminished, but the need is still present. “If there was ever a year, 2020 would be the year because so many have lost their jobs,” Arnold said. Right now, Angel Tree is working to fulfill the gift wishes

(Continued from A1) “Their big thing is they want to move fast and undetected,” Weishaupt said. It is a crime of opportunity, so law enforcement is asking people to make it less of an opportunity for these individuals. “I think they possibly go to smaller communities, because they know that law enforcement’s response is going to be extended due to the rural areas,” Ringhausen said. In total, 13 vehicles were hit in Calhoun, all within a two-block area in Hardin. Ringhausen stressed the importance of not leaving unattended valuables in the vehicle – especially an unlocked one. “Don’t leave any valuables in your motor vehicle, and lock your motor vehicle up,” Ringhausen said. “And, if you see something, say something.”

portionately suffered deaths from COVID-19 in their communities.” “ACIP is currently considering specific allocations of the vaccine before expanding to the remainder of the population, and Illinois will account for their expert recommendation in the next tiers of distribution with a focused eye on equity,” Pritzker added. The news came as hospitalizations for COVID-19 continued to trend downward, decreasing for the fifth straight day as 5,453 people with COVID-19 were hospitalized. That put about 16.7 percent of all hospital beds in use by COVID-19 patients and left 24.4 percent available statewide. There were 1,152 intensive care beds in use by COVID-19 patients at the end of Thursday, a decrease of 17 from the day before. That meant approximately 34.7 percent of the state’s ICU beds were in use by COVID-19 patients with 19.5 percent available. Approximately 69.6 percent of ventilators were available as

of 356 children – 124 families. Of that group, the majority will have their lists handled by builders in-house. For context, there were 99 in-house builds of children’s Christmases. No matter what is done, Arnold promised these kids would get a Christmas, but it would be different. “Whether it is a single one or its a family of seven, we are going to make sure each of those children are equally taken care of,” Arnold said. “...We are going to be ensuring that every child at least has a Christmas filled with essentials.” There will also be fun gifts. “No child will not have some games, some puzzles and fun – a football, whatever,” Arnold explained. “But some of those special requests won’t come through like in years before. We don’t have that ability this year because of the way our adoption process is working.” It won’t be like in previous years where they had a glut of adopters who went above and beyond to ensure these children had a good Christmas, when they might have not had one otherwise. While Arnold assured it will all get done one way or another, she stressed the need is still great from support from the community who has shown itself to be very giving, and she knows the community has come through before. People can get involved by calling 618-535-9919 or visiting their building at 402 W Carpenter Street. They can also be contacted through their Facebook page.

Most importantly though, among the items stolen, at least in Calhoun, were keys, which Weishaupt stressed locals needed to be especially mindful of. “Change your locks if they stole your keys,” he said. “They may be coming back in a couple weeks or maybe later to use the keys they took.” Weishaupt also recommended that people, in general, invest in doorbell cameras, which have seen considerable advances and popularity in recent years. He added it helps law enforcement tremendously when looking into incidents like the ones seen last week. Last week’s break-ins are still under investigation, and no arrests have been reported as of Monday. People with any information in regards to these incidents are asked to call the sheriff’s office at 618-576-2417 or Two Rivers Crimestoppers at 800-300-2590.

of Thursday night, with 703 in use by COVID-19 patients, an increase of 10 from the day prior. The number of available ICU beds per region ranged from 17 in southern Illinois’ Region 5 and 20 in the Springfield area’s Region 3 on the low end to 187 in Region 11, which includes only Chicago. The state reported another 148 COVID-19-related deaths, bringing the death toll since the pandemic began to 12,974 among 770,088 confirmed or probable cases. More than 10.9 million test results have been reported. Regional positivity rates ranged from 11.8 percent in Region 3 to 16.8 percent in Region 7, which includes Will and Kankakee counties. The statewide seven-day average case positivity rate was 10.3 percent Friday, the 12th straight day it has hovered between 10.1 and 10.9 percent. What is the vaccine? Currently, the vaccines that have been developed for use in the United States are using a

new vaccine technology employing messenger RNA (mRNA), according to the Greene County Health Department. When authorized and approved, these will be the first type of vaccines approved using mRNA technology. The mRNA is a special set of “instructions” made from DNA that allows for protein production. “While that may be worrisome to those who don’t understand the technology, it shouldn’t be. This is new technology but has been studied and perfected for decades for this purpose,” a health department post said. Many people might be concerned with the short time it’s taken to develop vaccines when others in the past took years. The reason for this is simple. No live coronavirus needed to be used in this process, which shaves off years of development needed to decide at what dose the vaccine is safe. The new technology used can be thought of as a “teacher vaccine”: it shows your

body how to defend itself by its own mechanisms, rather than in response to a live or weakened virus injected into the body. The mRNA used in this vaccine “instructs” the body to find and respond to a special type of protein found in COVID-19, they call these “spike proteins.” A standard vaccine causes our bodies to recognize a disease directly. These types of vaccines prompt the body to make an antibody directly in response to the disease for which the vaccine was created. The body will actually create its own individualized approach to recognizing these spike proteins. The body will then use that specialized approach to handle spike proteins, as it comes into contact with them in the future, specifically the spike protein found in SARS-CoV-2, the COVID-19 virus. –––––––––––––––– Q Jerry Nowicki of Capitol News Illinois contributed to the article.

SERVING YOU FOR OVER 100 YEARS

OBITUARIES

Wednesday, December 9, 2020

JERSEY COUNTY JOURNAL

Mary Ruth Stuckey Mary Ruth Stuckey, 86, of Medora, was welcomed into heaven at 12:05 pm on Friday, December 4, 2020. She was surrounded by her family at Alton Memorial Hospital where she died from complications of COVID-19. Ruth was born in Essex, MO on December 27, 1933, the daughter of Bryan and Evelyn Lankford. She grew up the oldest of four children and learned the value of working hard, caring for others, the importance of integrity, and how to make much from little. At around 12 years old, Ruth accepted Jesus as her Savior and was always proud to share that it was the most important decision of her life. Ruth’s faith in Jesus became the greatest influence in every aspect of her life from that point on. In 1954, Ruth married Donald Stuckey in Dupo, IL, and he survives. Their sweet love story would span 66 years and included times of joy, accomplishment, sorrow, and hard roads, but most of all devotion to one another, their family, and their faith. A typical visit to their home would grant memories of good-natured ribbing about how events had “actually” unfolded and sugary affirmations of lifelong love. They held each other accountable from a mutual respect for one another and devotion to the Lord: they believed in each other’s best abilities and the steadfastness of God. Even after all of their years together, Don still looked at Ruth as if she’d hung the moon. Ruth and Don became the proud parents of four children: Richard (Candy) Stuckey of Brighton, IL, Cristie (Tim) Lewis of Troy, IL, the late Melissa (Harry) Clendenin of Sidney, OH, and Ericka (Tim) Uskali of St. Joseph, IL. She loved her children deeply and taught them to pray, trust God, forgive, give to others, set goals and strive to reach them, use their creativity, love music and the power of words, and to live their lives focused more on others than self. As it says in Proverbs 31:28, “Her children rise up and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her.” This is indeed true of Ruth’s life. One of her greatest joys in life was that of being a grandmother to Sarah Vogelman, Jesse (Colleen) Stuckey, Shaun (Chelsea) Stuckey, Andy (Kasey) Lewis, Valerie (Justin) Orr, Lindsay (Andrew) Bowen, Brad (Erin) Lewis, Gail (Daniel Hoy) Clendenin, Nate Clendenin, Jalee (Stuart) Helmuth, Sam Clendenin, Mike (Briana) Uskali, Aaron Uskali, Amber Uskali, and Isaiah Uskali. Ruth also adored being a great-grandmother to Henry Don and Julianna Vogelman, Gus and Ben Stuckey, Kyndle and Kason Stuckey, Brooke, Ryan, and Claire Lewis, Ezra and Isaac Orr, Charlotte and Jolene Lewis, Abby, Emery, and Rhys Uskali, and she was anticipating two more greatgrandbabies who are on the way. She was always there to talk, listen, give advice or even a healthy dose of reality if you needed it. Ruth also shared a strong bond with her siblings Shelia Hester, the late Jim (Bonnie) Lankford, and Glenn (Janice) Lankford. She was preceded in death by her daughter Melissa, her parents, and her brother Jim, and we can only imagine the grand reunion that is happening with them in heaven today. Ruth’s love of learning and children led her to go to college while raising her family in order to become a teacher. She was a devoted educator in the Jerseyville Community School District for 27 years and greatly impacted the lives of many students in her Special Education, 1st, and 2nd grade classes. Ruth had many gifts and talents and was known for her sewing, crocheting, quilting, and the many ways that she could tell a story and teach in such a way that minds were opened to new ideas and deep thoughts. Her table always

had room for one more and her apple cake, mashed potatoes, blueberry pie, and other delicious foods were made from scratch, often without a recipe. She was also a longtime member of the local chapter of the Delta Kappa Gamma Society International of women educators. Ruth’s name meant “compassionate friend” and that was always a true characteristic in her life. She loved deeply and would never fail to do all she could to provide for those in need, lend a helping hand, listen intently, and offer sound advice. Ruth lived her Christian faith each day and was an active member of her church, Mt. Pleasant Baptist Church in Medora. Her goal was to share the Gospel in as many ways as she could and as often as possible, and you couldn’t be around her without knowing that there was something different about her because she lived her faith each and every day. She was a Sunday School teacher until her death, served on numerous regional committees, coordinated countless mission projects, and was a leader in the Woman’s Missionary Union, leading efforts to pray and raise money for mission work that spanned the globe. After she and Don retired, they found a new focus and passion, serving in short-term volunteer mission work around the world with 18 mission trips on 6 continents in 14 countries and led countless people to Christ from Africa to Asia to South America and Eastern Europe and many places in between. They also served with Disaster Relief with the Southern Baptist Convention, responding to crisis and great needs around the United States, including work in New York City after 9/11. It was truly their joy to serve people together and share their faith in Jesus. Ruth fed into the lives of all she met and shared her life with them. She leaves a strong legacy, and her impact will be felt for years to come. Ruth will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved her. A celebration of Ruth’s life will be held on Thursday, December 10, 2020, at 10:00 a.m. at Mt. Pleasant Baptist Church in Medora with Rev. Timothy Lewis and Rev. Rob Cleeton officiating. The family received family and friends on Wednesday, December 9, 2020 from 4:00-8:00 p.m. at the church. Funeral arrangements are in care of Anderson Family Funeral Home. Due to current COVID19 restrictions, face coverings, social distancing, and capacity guidelines for religious services will be followed. Memorials may be made to Mt. Pleasant Baptist Church or the Southwestern Foundation for Educational Excellence. Condolences may also be expressed to the Stuckey family at the funeral home’s website www.andersonfamilyfuneral.com.

Robert Scoggins Former Jerseyville resident, Robert F. Scoggins, passed away Monday, November 30, 2020 at home, surrounded by his daughters and grandchildren. He was born on March 23, 1937 to Roy Harrison Scoggins and Georgetta Elmore Scoggins at home in Kane, Illinois. Bob graduated from Jersey Community High School in 1955. Much to the condemnation of his father, he went with a couple of his Kane buddies and joined the U S Army and began service June 1955 until June 1958. The service to his country was a tremendous honor to him. Robert married Jeris Ann Goshorn at Holy Ghost Catholic Church in Jerseyville on June 6, 1959. They were blessed with 53 years of marriage before Jeris’ passing in 2012. Their marriage held many wonderful family times, travels throughout the United States and in Europe with their dear friends, Benny and Monie Abbott. Bob enjoyed visiting battlefields and knew so much about their history. If we failed to remember a certain General or a detail pertaining to that historical moment, he would give us the “look”. He dedicated a little over 37 years of service to Laclede Steel Company as a pulpit operator in the Rod Mill. Retirement didn’t sit well with him and he found a good family looking for a perfectionist in lawn care. That was the beginning of his second career at Wolves Crossing Golf Course. Bob would tell everyone that he was blessed with the best family. Surviving are two daughters, Lisa Loftus (husband Mark) and Angela Richards, both of Bethalto. Grandchildren Jordan (Leah) Watson, Paige (Eric) Kopsie, Reahn (Zach Niswander) Richards, all of Bethalto, step-grandson Bryan Loftus of Granite City. Great grandchildren Landon Loftus, Cora and Cade Kopsie, Elliot Watson and a new baby girl to be born March 2021. His great grandchildren affectionately called him PaBob and loved him so dearly. He was known to participate in their daily lessons and tea parties. Siblings are Roberta Nardin of Mount Olive, Ruth Neuhoff of Jerseyville and Roy (Roma) Scoggins of Collinsville. He is also survived by his sister-in-law, Sandra Goshorn. He treasured friendships and the “Kane Connection”. A group of special friends added so much to his life (Carol, Ann, Margie, Joann, Barbara and Darlene). His life-long best friend, Benny Abbott, greeted him in Heaven. At the end of Dad’s military service, he was at a processing facility in Germany. He heard a familiar voice and looked around only to find Benny Ray. The two of them were on the same ship back to the United States and stayed awake for days (ignoring their cleaning assignments) catching up. Bob recently told his grandson, Jordan, one of the best days of his life was participating in the Honor Flight and the sight of Ole Glory makes him misty eyed. Joining the American Legion Post #492 Honor Guard was a perfect fit for him to honor those who served. Jeris and Bob dedicated themselves to the Republican party. Their home hosted many envelope-stuffing events and in an election year, you may have heard him answer the phone “Red White and Blue Line”. He loved trapshooting and had many successes.

William ‘Bill’ Weirich

Participating on different leagues (especially Sportsman League team), derby’s, benefits and an impressive 73,875 registered targets. He was the 1980 Missouri State Handicap Champion and 2009 Senior Vet Grand American Winner. Bob told his daughter, Lisa, none of this was a big deal but we are so proud of his accomplishments, friendships and stories that came from that time. Robert moved to Bethalto in 2017, sharing a home with his daughter Angela and granddaughter, Reahn. The property named RFS Ranch (Bob’s initials) was a perfect place for Bob to work along family the last few years and never miss an opportunity to get on the tractor for a project. The property adjoins to his daughter and son-inlaw, Lisa and Mark, and was convenient for many random visits from family. The great-grandchildren always wanted to check in on PaBob. He took pride in everything he did and worked so hard for, whether it was his meticulous lawn or shiny vehicles. He often joked he mowed the lawn every 72 hours, whether it needed it or not! Fly high now Dad. You can rest as we have got this since you taught us so well. If you would like to honor Bob in lieu of flowers, memorials may be given to Givin’ It All For Guts Foundation or to the American Legion Post #492 Honor Guard. Due to Covid restrictions, private graveside services will be conducted. Crawford Funeral Home in Jerseyville has been entrusted with arrangements.

William Joseph “Bill” Weirich, 85, died unexpectedly at 6:04 p.m., Wednesday, December 2, 2020 at St. Louis University Hospital. He was born in Alton, Illinois on July 8, 1935, and was one of five children born to the late Joseph L. and Laverna (Karns) Weirich. Bill was raised in the Alton area, and graduated from Marquette Catholic High School in Alton. He soon began a lifetime career with Owens-Illinois Glass on Broadway Street in Alton, where he remained for many years. After the plant closure in 1983, Bill was fortunate to be transferred to their Oakland, California facility. He and his wife, Lela relocated to California where they resided until Bill retired in 1990 as a Supervisor. He was a very loyal and dedicated employee, and was extremely proud of his time spent with the company, and the many friendships that were acquired through the years. After his retirement, he and Lela returned to the area. He was active in his Catholic faith, and was currently a member of the St. Francis Xavier Catholic Church in Jerseyville. He married the former Lela Mae Scoggins on Jan. 26, 1974 in Jerseyville, and together they shared 41 years of marriage before her death on July 26, 2015. He then married the former Linda (Ozee) Roth on March 19, 2017 in Cave In Rock, Illinois, and although their time was all too brief, they were able to shared much happiness together. Surviving are his wife, Linda Weirich of Jerseyville; four children and their spouses, William and Andrea Weirich of Godfrey, Cindy Eggebrecht of Alton, Debbie and Jack Farris of Godfrey, and Jeffrey Weirich of Godfrey; four stepchildren, Melody Manning of Jerseyville, Monty and Stacey Manning of Fieldon, Barry Manning of Jerseyville, and Jenny Mae Miller of Seattle, Wa.; 22 Grandchildren; numerous great grandchildren, including a very special great grandchild, Dylan Matthew

n the crisp winter evening of Dec. 7 in 1941, shortly after the sun had set but before the first stars glimmered in the sky,16-year-old Herb and his older brother Ed hurried to finish milking the cows. Gene Autryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Melody Ranch was about to begin, and it was Edâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s favorite radio show. Ed, the older of the two by 15 years, had recently â&#x20AC;&#x153;aged outâ&#x20AC;? of the Army. Herb was delighted to have him home, both for his company and his help with the chores. Their dad, the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Old Gent,â&#x20AC;? as they called him behind his back, had known the long days and hard work of farming all his life, and his sons were more than happy to work a little longer and little harder to make their dadâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life a little easier. As the brothers left the warm barn to make the chilly walk back home, little did they know their lives were about to change forever. As their mother turned on the radio, the family sat down to supper. But instead of hearing the familiar strain of Back in the Saddle Again, they were stunned to hear that Japan had bombed Pearl Harbor and more than 2,400 American lives had been lost. Ed turned to Herb and said quietly, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Well, Bert, it looks like my time at home is over.â&#x20AC;? The world changed that day for my dad, Herb Breitweiser, and his family. Five of his brothers served during the war. John was killed in Monte Cassino in Italy in 1944. Fred was a German prisoner of war for 15 months and battled bouts of depression the remainder of his life. The other three

The county board also recognized that the courthouse is an historic structure that has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 1986, so maintaining the integrity of the structure is paramount to maintaining its usefulness. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an historic building, so upkeep is needed throughout the years. The likelihood of building a new courthouse at $25 to $30 million is not feasible at this point in time, so weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re trying to address the problems that need to be addressed with the potential to not exceed $3.5 million,â&#x20AC;? Little said. The Jersey County Courthouse is one of five sister courthouses in Illinois that were constructed in the latter years of the 1800s. Greene, Edgar, Pike and DeWitt county courthouses are the other sister structures that were designed by architect Henry Elliot.

returned home physically unharmed but certainly not unscathed. The stress of losing their son John â&#x20AC;&#x201C; coupled with the 1944 death of another son, Frank, to kidney disease â&#x20AC;&#x201C; took a toll on my grandparents. According to my dad, my grandmother was never the same after the loss of her sons, and family photos support that statement. She passed away in 1950, and my grandfather followed her 18 months later. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s said that time heals all wounds. While thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s debatable, time certainly does tend to filter out the bad in favor of the good. But when Dad speaks of growing up on the farm with his brothers and five sisters, I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a distortion of time. He truly has been blessed with a wonderful life. At some point after 911, it occurred to me to ask Dad which was worse, Pearl Harbor or 911. He didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hesitate. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Pearl Harbor,â&#x20AC;? he said, his voice raw with emotion, â&#x20AC;&#x153;â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;cause we knew the boys

would be leaving home.â&#x20AC;? The history books show that Jersey County lost only one â&#x20AC;&#x153;sonâ&#x20AC;? at Pearl Harbor. Bobby Windle, a handsome 18-year-old Marine who had thrilled Jersey Township High School football fans just a year earlier, was killed aboard the USS Arizona when a Japanese bomb detonated a powder magazine aboard the battleship. But much, much more was lost that fateful day in 1941. For many Jersey County families, including the Breitweisers, the attack on Pearl Harbor was the end of a much simpler, much happier time when some still believed that America could remain on the sidelines of World War II. â&#x20AC;&#x201C;â&#x20AC;&#x201C;â&#x20AC;&#x201C;â&#x20AC;&#x201C;â&#x20AC;&#x201C;â&#x20AC;&#x201C;â&#x20AC;&#x201C;â&#x20AC;&#x201C;â&#x20AC;&#x201C;â&#x20AC;&#x201C;â&#x20AC;&#x201C;â&#x20AC;&#x201C;â&#x20AC;&#x201C;â&#x20AC;&#x201C;â&#x20AC;&#x201C;â&#x20AC;&#x201C;â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Q Beth McGlasson is a history buff and vice president of the Jersey County Historical Society.

As of now, Little isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t certain when this project will be completed, but before an accurate time table can be figured up, first the proper notices regarding the revenue bonds must be made public and objections or concerns from the public considered. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think it needs to be reiterated this is not a frivolous project,â&#x20AC;? Little said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to not spend this kind of money, but the investment in this building, which is still in very good and fit condition, needs to be made. The courthouse still has a lot of utility left in it, and some matters need to be taken care of.â&#x20AC;? The Dec. 1 meeting at 9 a.m. was the last meeting of

the Dec. 3, 2018- Dec. 1, 2020 term of the Jersey County Board. Following the 9 a.m. meeting, former Jersey County resident judge, the Hon. Eric Pistorius, swore in newly elected county officials, most of them already serving in their current positions. On the county board, former board member Genevieve Mossman was replaced by the newly elected Eric Ivers. Following the swearing-in ceremony, the new board sat for its first meeting at 11 a.m., where Don Little was retained as board chairman and Gary Krueger was voted vice-chairman, replacing Sandy Hefner in that capacity. Electing Gary Krueger and retaining Don Little was carried as a single motion, of which the only nay was from Eric Ivers.

JERSEY COUNTY JOURNAL

Jerseyville library has slate of holiday festivities planned Christmas is not canceled as evidenced by a drive around town where people can be witness to a host of bright and shiny Christmas light displays like that at the Jerseyville library. But the shine is inside as well as out at the library with some fun and safe holiday events and activities. Two “Take and Make Crafts” are available for children aged pre-K through grade five. Take home a Christmas grab bag with a surprise craft or create a pirate treasure chest full of “gold” – or make one of each. Dec. 1-18, children pre-K through grade 5 are welcome to come to the library and check out the “Gingerbread in Disguise” display to guess who each gingerbread person is pretending to be. Dec. 14-19, toddlers through grade 5 can poke through one of the circles in the “Poke a Tree” game and win that prize while supplies last. If the little ones are fans of “Pete the Cat,” families will have the opportunity to drive through the library parking lot on Dec. 19 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. to donate a baby item such as formula, food, diapers, etc. and receive a sweet treat from Santa Pete. This is a great opportunity to teach the kids that Christmas is about giving and not only about receiving. Kids are urged when they visit the library to search for Dewey, the Library’s Elf on the Shelf, who hides in a different place in the Children’s Room each night. If the kids find him, they are to tell the staff at the front desk

Lena Sue Kruse

Lena Sue Kruse, 84, of Brighton, died at 2 am on Sunday, December 6, 2020 at Alton Memorial Hospital due to complications of COVID 19. Due to COVID 19 the family will have a private graveside at Brighton Cemetery. The family urges people to take proper precautions during the holiday season. In lieu of flowers memorials may be made to Brighton Presbyterian Church. Condolences may be left online at www.andersonfamilyfuneral.com

and will get a prize. The library’s events do not just take place at the building this month. Folks will find the “StoryWalk” books at two locations in December “A Pirate’s Twelve Days of Christmas” is at Wock Lake, and you can find “When Santa Was a Baby” in the downtown business windows on State Street. Also, Christmas carolers can mark their calendars for a special Facebook Live event where a few ukulele-loving elves will provide the music while other individuals provide the voices. Gather the family around the computer and tune into the library’s Facebook page on Dec. 14 at 5:45 p.m. for this live event featuring carols everybody knows. For all the Hallmark Christmas Movie lovers who haven’t quite gotten their fill yet, check out the Hallmark Christmas Movie Headquarters display, grab a movie, pick up a bingo card, check off all the typical elements of a Hallmark movie and if someone gets a Bingo, bring it back to enter into the drawing for a new two DVD set of Hallmark movies. The Friends of the Library is asking those who would like to participate in Cards for Caring to come by the library to pick up a packet of Christmas cards, decorate and write a note inside and return them to the library by Dec. 15 where they will be delivered to a care facility of the individual’s choice. Share some good cheer this holiday season. Some activities that are taking place

This piece of art made by Kennedy Berghoff of Grafton was featured in the Hearing Our Way magazine.

By JARAD JARMON Jersey County Journal Kennedy Berghoff may not consider herself an artist, even just as a hobby, but others like her family including her parents, Kevin and Sara Berghoff, and the staff of one of her favorite magazines thought otherwise – at least when it came to one eighth-grade project of hers. Now a freshman at Jersey Community High School, Berghoff was featured in a recent edition of a deaf and hard of hearing focused magazine based out of New York, Hearing Our Way, for her drawing of her cochlear implants shaped in the form of a heart. Berghoff, who lost her hearing by the age of 2 and now uses cochlear implants, was young – only about 5 or 6 years old – when she first learned about the magazine. Another friend who was also deaf invited her to come visit Hearing Our Way staff, namely the editor-in-chief. The visit was relatively brief – roughly a day, but affecting. Soon after, she subscribed to the quarterly paper and has since grown to be an avid reader of the magazine, excited most by the message portrayed by the kids and teens highlighted in each issue. “Even if you have a disability, you can still do things,” Berghoff said. “I am just glad this magazine features deaf children, deaf kids, deaf teens – all of that in their magazine that inspires everyone to be passionate for who you are.” Her admiration for the magazine made it that much more special when she saw her face, her art and a little bit about herself featured in the magazine. “For me, it is a really great deal,” Berghoff said. She never had been featured in a magazine, let alone one in which she was an enthusiastic reader of. It was that much more surprising that she was featured for a skill of hers that she never put much stock into. Berhoff considered herself a doodler at most. More recent focuses of hers included her efforts to play on the JCHS tennis team this year. “For my finals exam for eighth grade for art, we had to draw a picture that was very important to us,” Berghoff said. “I, at first, did not know what to draw, until I thought, ‘Well, why don’t I draw something about my cochlear implants?’ I did notice that when you put my cochlear implants together, it makes a heart.” And soon enough, pencil was put to paper and a heart shaped with cochlear implants was made. Everyone in her family was very impressed with it, and her mother suggested submitting it to that magazine she reads

KENNEDY BERGHOFF regularly. Berghoff was skeptical of whether they would put it in the magazine. But, a little while later, the new issue came out, and there she was. “I guess they did,” she said. “It was just a big surprise when I got the magazine, and I was featured in it. I was just really overjoyed with the excitement of actually getting into this magazine.” She said it was touching. “It shows everybody in the deaf or hard of hearing community that you can do something with a talent or with something [else] that you can do,” Berghoff said. Beyond high school, her plans may not veer into the artistic world, but she said she plans to focus her efforts on the deaf and hard of hearing community by becoming an audiologist working with deaf and hard of hearing children.

JERSEY COUNTY JOURNAL

Jerseyville, Illinois

Former ICU nurse retires from JCH JUDGE SWEARS IN ELECTED OFFICIALS

By CONNOR ASHLOCK Jersey County Journal On Oct. 30, Marjorie Early wrapped up her 46 year-long career at Jersey Community Hospital, and with it, a lifetimeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s worth of service, care and friendship. The date was Aug. 8, 1974, and the newly graduated Early walked into the Jersey Community Hospital on Pine St., where Mrs. Carter was serving as the director of nurses at the time. Early sat down with Carter for an interview and was hired on the spot, just four days after graduating from nursing school. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They were just starting the intensive care unit, known at that time as the special care unit,â&#x20AC;? Early said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I remember the room was small. The room had originally been their pediatric room, so it was a small one-room unit that we could fit three patients in, but as time went on, they got busier and we got four beds.â&#x20AC;? A 1971 graduate from Jersey Community High School, Early was no stranger to the community, though at the time, she was living in White Hall with her former husband. Originally, Early was discouraged from attending school by her former husband, even though it had been her intention since high school. Instead, she worked at a tea room operated by Shelley and Hazel Greene in White Hall. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People from St. Louis would come by the carload for this tea room,â&#x20AC;? Early recalled. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was making $1.80 an hour working in the kitchen. My coworker lost her husband to cancer at the time and I got to wondering about what I would do if that happened to me. I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t live on $1.80 an hour, so I then went out and found the LPN program in Jacksonville and went to school there.â&#x20AC;? Eleven months later, Early was a licensed practical nurse making her way to her interview and future career with the Jersey Community Hospital. Earlyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s employment at the hospital was at a pivotal point in the hospitalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s history. Just three years into her employment with JCH, the choice was made to move from Pine Street to the hospitalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s present location on Maple Summit Road. The

move occurred around April 1977. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When we moved there, our families came and helped us move the equipment,â&#x20AC;? Early said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My dad and husband at the time helped us. On the morning we were moving, one of my best friends then and now, Toni Heafner, and I stayed over and rode with the patients in the ambulance.â&#x20AC;? For her nearly 50-year career, Early worked the graveyard shift, where she witnessed the evolution of the medical industry as it impacted the local hospital. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I worked at the same hospital, same shift and same department the whole 46 years. At first, the shifts were 11 p.m. to 7 a.m., then, about 1995 I think, we went to 12-hour shifts from 7 p.m. to 7 a.m.,â&#x20AC;? Early recalled. Although, for Early, she wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t consider that the most mind-boggling element of her career. â&#x20AC;&#x153;One thing that blows my mind is when we first moved over to the current hospital, people could smoke everywhere. You could smoke in the dining room, in the nurseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s station and patients could smoke in their rooms. I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t remember the specific year when they started implementing no smoking in the buildings, but when I think about it, it just blows my mind that they could do that,â&#x20AC;? Early said. Also throughout her career, Early was able to work with some well-known and hardly forgotten names in our countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s past. Some names that might ring a bell to many people are such individuals as Doc Wieland, Gorecki, Wuestenfeld, Baalman, Mindrup and Plummer. Other notable characters that Early worked with through the years also include Cece Wiener, Jenny Graham, Linda Heitzig and Nancy Wollenweber. These, along with others, comprise many memorable experiences that Early will continue to treasure into retirement, but, as the future marches on, one person in particular will remain to journey with her through it all. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve developed a lot of friendships through the years with patients and people who Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve worked withâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; close, long-term friendships.

Marjorie Early recently retired from nursing, leaving a 46 year-long career at Jersey Community Hospital, but taking with her a collection of memories that will last a lifetime.

Judge Eric Pistorius swears-in re-elected board members Scott Tonsor, Mary Kirbach, Ben Heitzig and Gary Krueger, as well as the newly-elected Eric Ivers, who replaced Genevieve Mossman.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve probably worked together for 25 years, so of course, she and I are best friends.â&#x20AC;? Though the friendships made through the years are an important part of Earlyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tenure with the hospital, there are other things that she will treasure as well. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I stayed at JCH for all those years because it meant a lot to me to give back to my community and have family, friends and neighbors come in,â&#x20AC;? Early said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It meant so much to them to have somebody they knew taking care of them. That was one of the reasons I stayed at JCH. I also stayed at the hospital because of the family-like feeling we had among the employees. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think you have that in large hospitals.â&#x20AC;? Early has a lot of reasons for why she loves nursing. From her friendships to the role she played in the ICU, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not hard to see that she had the passion necessary to make a difference. Now, as Early adjusts to the retired lifestyle, she looks forward to keeping friendships alive, as well as putting some affairs in order that many healthcare professionals know about all too well. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I look forward to not having a schedule, and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m going to try to get my house straightened out from 46 years of neglect due to nursing,â&#x20AC;? Early said.
