The Schnettgoecke family, including Katie, Johnny, Vale, 1, and Vivi, was one of a long line of families eager to get some candy at the drive-thru trunk-or-treat as part of the Jerseyville Halloween Festival Saturday at Dolan Park. The line of vehicles stretched well beyond the park itself. More photos from the event can be found on A2.

By MEAGAN MCGLASSON Jersey County Journal Angel Tree is just one of many organizations facing uncertainty during the COVID-19 pandemic, but with the founder of the organization, Janice Arnold, facing cancer treatment this year, help is needed now more than ever. “We need dedicated volunteers—that’s the big issue is getting dedicated volunteers,” one of this year’s organizers, Julie Goheen, said. “There was a very good turnout (Saturday)... We need able bodies able to lift boxes and move heavy things.” The organization is struggling with uncertainty because of Arnold’s health. Though her resolve is strong and intentions good, the toll cancer treatment takes cannot be ignored. Because of this, reliable volunteers are desperately needed to man the project.

in races at the state level. In the 13th Congressional District race, Republican Rodney Davis nabbed the county over Democrat Betsy Londrigan with 75 percent of the vote to Londrigan’s 25 percent. Davis won overall with 54.6 percent of the vote. The race for Representative in the 100th District saw Republican C.D. Davidsmeyer roll over his Democratic opponent, Brandon Adams, and Ralph Sides of the Pro-Gun Pro-Life Party, with 72 percent of the vote to Adams’ 22 percent and Sides’ 6 percent. Based on current election results, Davidsmeyer won overall with 75 percent of the vote in his district. In another representative win, Republican Amy Elik secured 62 percent of the vote to Democrat Monica Bristow’s 38 percent. Locally, there was one big race, though, that served as a victory for the Democrats. Democrat Allison Lorton

won 54 percent of the vote (6,341 votes) for the Seventh Circuit Court Judge seat in Jersey County, soon to be left by Judge Eric Pistorius, who is retiring. Donald Schaaf, Jr., the Republican candidate in the race got 46 percent of the vote (5,527 votes). The Fair Tax Constitutional Amendment was overwhelmingly defeated in the county with 77 percent of the voters voting against it, and 23 percent voting for it. Overall, 55 percent of people voted “no” on the amendment and 45 percent voted “yes.” This tax was a push by Gov. JB Pritzker and Democratic leaders in the state to introduce a graduated tax system to Illinois. With the potential for a host of post-election day ballots coming in with mail-in voting, there is more uncertainty at a national level. Notably, the election is never official until 14 days after Election Day.

are going to be responsible for the rates of infection going through the roof, and our hospitals getting overrun and people are dying if they don’t enforce the rules,” Pritzker said during his daily briefing in Chicago. “That is why those rules exist.” In Region 3, the test positivity rate stood at 10.6 percent on Oct. 30, the most recent date for which numbers were available. “We know that that the places that are remaining open, they’re having large gatherings and defying these rules are, in fact, spreading locations,” Pritzker said. “These are places that are amplifying the virus across the state. And so, you know, when you’ve got double-digit positivity rates in your area, as is the case in Springfield, then the local officials need to take the laws that are on the books and the regulations that we’ve put forward and the orders that we’ve asked people to follow and enforce them locally.” The news of the new resurgence mitigation measures came around the same time the number of active COVID19 cases in the county hit triple digits. According to Jersey County Health Department officials, there are 102 active cases of virus in the county as of Monday. So far, 483 have recovered from COVID-19, while 21 others have died from the virus. Q This includes information provided by Peter Hancock of Capital News Illinois.

Volunteers (Continued from A1) According to Goheen, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important to find not just volunteers, but reliable volunteers who can commit to working for set blocks of time. With COVID-19 already causing some of Angel Treeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s regular volunteers to go into quarantine, the fear is that a lack of reliable manpower may make the already herculean task impossible to pull off this year. Still, according to Goheen, the turnout Saturday was encouraging, with volunteers from Bethel Church, regular volunteers and new faces all present to help set

up the shelving at Angel Treeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s building, next to McCarryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. Those who want to volunteer help or time going forward need to check by the building to see if volunteers are there to let them in or check Facebook for posts calling for volunteers. Goheen said the organization is currently working towards a one-stop resource for volunteers, but none has been created yet. Volunteers can also call or text Arnold if they would like to help, but should be patient while waiting for a reply.

A look back on the history of Veterans Day N

ext Wednesday, Nov. 11, is Veterans Day. Originally known as Armistice Day, the holiday was first celebrated on Nov. 11, 1919, to mark the first anniversary of the end of World War I. In 1954, Congress renamed the day Veterans Day to honor veterans of all wars and made Nov. 11 a legal holiday. Over the years, thousands of Jersey County residents have honorably served our country, and there are many interesting stories regarding their service. Jersey County native John Thomas Curtis was an assistant surgeon general with the 99th Illinois Infantry during the Civil War. Throughout his service, he carried a Bible, and in it, noted where his company marched and the distance they covered. During their three years of service, Curtis and the 99th Infantry marched 5,900 miles, the equivalent of walking from New York City to San Francisco and back. During World War I, Oliver â&#x20AC;&#x153;Shantyâ&#x20AC;? House served in the 385th Infantry. Oct. 20, 1918, found the Jerseyville native fighting for his life in the Meuse-Argonne Offensive. During the battle, Oliver was shot in the chest. Thankfully, the bullet struck the steel trench mirror he carried in the breast pocket of his uniform, deflecting the shrapnel downward, so it missed his heart and lodged in his back. The wound, while serious, wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t fatal, and Oliver recovered. Bertram â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bertâ&#x20AC;? Marsden Jr., another

Guest Column BY BETH MCGLASSON Jerseyville native, had an equally harrowing experience during World War II. In April 1942, the bomber in which 24-year-old PFC Bertram Marsden Jr. was flying exploded and crashed into the Coral Sea. Bertram, and the other survivors scrambled aboard rubber life rafts that were tossed about in the rough seas as the massive guns of warships thundered around them. On April 22, local newspapers reported that Bert had been killed. The truth was the opposite: amazingly, he suffered only from exposure, and while he was recovering in a New Caledonia hospital, he read of his own death. Unfortunately, there was no easy way for him to contact his family. The family did not learn that Bert was alive for several months. After the war, Bert returned to Jerseyville, where he worked at Olin and was a radio operator for the Jerseyville Police Department. Bert passed away in 2013 at the age of 95 and is buried at Oak Grove. The Historical Society would love to add your military stories to our collection.

Americans have forgotten original purpose of Veterans Day F

rank Blue, a friend from my law school days, describes himself as an amateur historian of the first world war. He is actually much more than an amateur historian about the subject; he could probably teach a college-level course about it if he wanted to. His studies have included not only extensive book research but also personal visits to the various battle sites, memorials and cemeteries relating to this conflict. He has graciously shared with me and others the end product of this pursuit, and I must say, from a historical perspective, there is a lot about that war that will always be pertinent, whether we care to consider those historical lessons or not. Unfortunately, Americans today know very little about the so-called first world war, also known as The Great War, World War I and, ironically, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The War to End All Wars.â&#x20AC;? From a statistical standpoint, the numbers of deaths and casualties in the first world war are almost beyond comprehension. During the four-and-a-half years of war, the total combat deaths were in excess of 7 million, and the total civilian deaths were in excess of 10 million. And if you are beyond being numbed by an astronomical number of human deaths, here is a statistic that may strike a chord: more than 8 million horses were also killed in that war. It was truly a horrible, trenchwar conflict made worse by the fact that this war could have easily been avoided. Americans generally know nothing about the First World War other than the fact that it occurred from 1914 to 1918 and involved primarily Europeans. So why grieve about it, right? What most Americans donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t appreciate is that in the 137 days in which we were actually involved in combat, more than 117,000 American soldiers were killed â&#x20AC;&#x201D; twice the number of American deaths in the entire Vietnam War. On average, we were losing 850 soldiers per day, more than twice the average number of Americans being

killed per day er in World War Ridge Runn S II. E L C I CHRON After the Guest Column first world BY BILL HOAGLAND war was over, Congress established the American Battlefields Monument Commission, whose mission it was to create and maintain memorials and cemeteries for our fallen soldiers including those buried in Europe. My friend Frank made it a point over the years to visit not only these memorials and cemeteries but also the battlefields where our boys fell. And here is the most unsettling part of Frankâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mission, except for a retired military officer formerly in charge of the Somme American Cemetery in France, he never encountered another American during his numerous visits to the World War I memorials, cemeteries and battlefields â&#x20AC;&#x201D; not one. The war officially ended at 11 a.m., Nov. 11, 1918. One year later, Congress declared Nov. 11 as a day to remember our fallen soldiers of World War I; this holiday was designated as Armistice Day. Since then, the name has been changed to â&#x20AC;&#x153;Veterans Day,â&#x20AC;? and we are now to honor all military veterans who have served on behalf of the United States. So if it is your inclination to remember veterans on Veterans Day, how about a brief thought or prayer for those brave American souls in the trenches who in 1918 were told to â&#x20AC;&#x153;fix bayonets and go over the topâ&#x20AC;? only to be mowed down in their tracks by a stream of machine-gun fire in the â&#x20AC;&#x153;War to End All Wars.â&#x20AC;? 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;â&#x20AC;&#x201C;â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Q Bill Hoagland has practiced law in Alton for more than 50 years, but he has spent more than 70 years hunting, fishing and generally being in the great outdoors. His wife, Annie, shares his love of the outdoor life. Much of their spare time is spent on their farm in Calhoun County. Bill can be reached at billhoagland70@gmail.com.

Illinois American Water has plans to modern mapping in Jerseyville

With the help of Civil Design, Inc. (CDI) and Cloudpoint Geographics, Illinois American Water’s operations team is using GPS to collect Jerseyville wastewater and water system data and modernize the mapping system. To map Jerseyville wastewater and water infrastructure, CDI and Cloudpoint Geographics employees will be traveling throughout the community to locate and record the location of wastewater mains, water mains, manholes, fire hydrants, valves, etc. Weather permitting, this work will be completed next summer. Customers should be aware that they

may see CDI and Cloudpoint Geographics employees working in their neighborhoods. CDI and Cloudpoint Geographics employees will not need access inside customers’ homes to complete this work, but customers may see them working in front of their homes or in the backyards and alleyways. According to a news release, Illinois American Water asks that customers follow social distancing recommendations issued by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention by keeping at least 6 feet between customers and their employees/contractors. If there is a question about service or work,

customers can call Illinois American Water’s customer service center at (800) 422-2782. Representatives are available weekdays from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. to assist. Representatives are also available 24/7 for emergencies. According to Jennifer Doody, senior supervisor of operations, GIS technology helps the company capture assets and supports customer service. “Employees will be able to access water and wastewater asset information on their in-vehicle computers or handheld GPS locators. This will help decrease response time and aid in customer service requests,” she said.

Headway being made on Grafton Museum By CONNOR ASHLOCK Jersey County Journal Construction of the addition to the Grafton Visitorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Center began earlier this year in the spring, and is currently, for the most part, completed. This endeavor is the manifestation of several yearsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; worth of effort by the Grafton Historical Society to increase the space of their museum facility and has been funded largely through an Illinois Department of Natural Resources museum grant. The addition will serve as the museum of the society, where the river townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s history will be displayed for locals and tourists alike to enjoy and learn from. The society has maintained a much smaller space in the visitorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s center for several years, but this new addition will be much larger than the museumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s present space. Society President Bonna Downey shared that the new addition will provide great opportunities for the organization. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Since it is much larger than what we currently have, our displays will be more elaborate,â&#x20AC;? Downey said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We will be handicap compliant so we can reach out to a wider audience as well.â&#x20AC;? The increased space has afforded the society the ability to incorporate a better overall design of its exhibits to more accurately depict the areaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s centuries-old history. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We hope to be able to have a walkthrough history of what Grafton is and represents in our community. We have our period room, which represents what a room in a Grafton

home might have looked like many years ago, and we hope to have a mural painted on the wall behind our punt boat that depicts the river,â&#x20AC;? Downey explained. Downey further shared that she has had great support from the community concerning the museumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s upgrade, which has been encouraging as she and fellow historical society members continue to meet together about every two weeks to hammer out the agreed-upon plans for the museumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s design. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had people from Cahokia Mounds come and give us some pointers on things that they had been through, and our meetings consist of people from the city council, historical society and community,â&#x20AC;? Downey said. Downey continued by sharing that the society is looking forward to the possibilities that this project will open up for them, as more room will be available for more artifacts and heirlooms from Graftonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s past to be donated, archived and preserved. She also believes that this will aid in making the museum an even more integral part of the Grafton community. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Anyone that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve spoken to has been very excited about it. They think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an improvement and will help tourism by bringing people to the community,â&#x20AC;? Downey said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It promotes the heritage of Grafton, which is really important to us as a historical society.â&#x20AC;? As of now, all that remains on the to-do list as far as construction goes is some lighting and electrical work. As soon as the construction is complete, the design construction will begin.
