Jersey County board alters liquor license ordinance

By CONNOR ASHLOCK Jersey County Journal The Jersey County Board met via teleconference call Tuesday night at 7 p.m. for a brief meeting that touched on a variety of topics including a revision to a liquor control ordinance.

No new business was presented, but several committees did report to the board.

The Liquor Control Committee presented a revised liquor control ordinance.

The main changes to the ordinance included clarifying closing times for establishments as well as offering a combination license in addition to the on-premises and package sale licenses.

Businesses in the county were learning that in order to have on-premises alcohol sales as well as packaged alcohol sales, two separate permits were required. Now, a third option has been added, the combination license, which combines the on-premises and packaged alcohol licenses into one.

“A packaged license costs $700 and an on-premises license costs $500,” Chairman Don’t Little said. “So now we’ve approved a combination license that costs $1000.”

Although the State of Illinois was already offering a combination license, Jersey County was not. In order to acquire a state combination license, the

county would have to offer one first.

Business owners in the county cannot acquire a liquor license at the state level that the county did not already offer.

“If they wanted to comply, they had to have two separate permits from the county, which is more costly and time consuming. Now they can get just one, which really simplifies the process,” Little said.

This alteration to the liquor control ordinance does not affect the incorporated municipalities of Jerseyville, Fieldon and Grafton, which have their own liquor ordinances, but only those unincorporated areas of the county.

County Clerk Pam Warford supplied the names of the eleven businesses that this would affect.

Whiskey Creek (formerly Midway), Pere Marquette Lodge, Bawanas, Alton Motorboat Club, Lockhaven Country Club, Grafton American Legion, Lake Westside, Wolves Crossing, Do Drop Inn, Grafton Winery, and the Tri-County Rod and Gun Club will now be able to apply for the combination license.

Current licenses expire June 30 and new licenses start July 1.

People interested in applying for the permit apply are issued their permits at the county clerk’s office. After they apply, they must be recommended through the liquor control committee, (See, ORDINANCE, A2)

By CONNOR ASHLOCK Jersey County Journal Agriculture is the leading industry in Illinois and is now facing challenges of its own amid this COVID19 crisis “Despite the pandemic, farmers are still in the fields and are still raising livestock. Ag is an essential industry and these activities cannot stop,” Jacalyn Meisner said.

Meisner, a Jersey County farmer and ag educator at Blue Ridge High School in Farmer City, Illinois, shared that the coronavirus might potentially affect various markets in the ag sector.

“The mechanical side of planting — that’s still going on. Planting season is about here and producers can’t neglect their fields,” she said. “But I know farm vets that are concerned with making calls right now, dairy farmers are dumping milk because the market is limited and more manual-labor intensive farming operations are having a difficult time getting laborers,” Meisner said.

“I have friends that raise horseradish and they’ve been looking for help. They’ve been struggling to get help because of the fear for contracting the virus,” Meisner added.

The extent of the situation cannot be entirely understood presently, as only time can tell how much the virus will affect the industry.

However, the impact is already starting to form. Jersey County farmer Jeff Guilander weighed in on the present situation of farmers in and around the area.

“Vegetable farms are in a massive amount of hurt because they deal with perishable commodities.

They’re dumping their produce in the ditch — there’s nothing they can do. They have fresh produce and a limited market to sell it to,” he said.

“Concerning hand laborers, if crews shut down, it has a domino effect for farmers. Calhoun peach farmers are probably doing a lot of manual labor themselves because it’s hard to find help.”

Guilander, a grain farmer, isn’t letting worry get in the way of planting season, but nonetheless, there is cause for concern.

“The pandemic is going to make it a more longterm situation for farmers. Grain prices have a lot of outside pressures and everyone is afraid to say what it might mean in the long-

term,” Guilander said. “The biggest fear right now is whether or not our suppliers are going to be available in a timely manner when we need them.

We can make some progress without a lot of help, but at some point we’ll have to rely on other parts of the infrastructure. If they’re not there, then everything will slow down.”

Meisner also had some thoughts regarding this time of the year for grain farmers throughout the state.

“There are people I know that work for companies like FS that are pulling in some pretty long hours right now. So you have all these people working that are going out and about,” she said. “This is the fear: If they get sick from the virus or anything else in general, will they be able to be there when farmers need them. Farmers are in the fields and they’re doing what they need to be doing, but if they don’t have certain qualifications for things like pesticide application, then they’ll need someone else who does to help them.”

Aside from concerns over the sowing, cultivation and harvest of the product, the markets are where the nail-biting comes into play. It’s becoming obvious that demand will be down, but until the situation evolves further, it’s difficult to pinpoint exactly how it will all play out.

“I think the biggest thing to consider with the markets is demand,” Meisner said. “It may or may not be there. We’re seeing the milk issue now because cows are gonna produce milk 24/7 no matter what, but with markets like grain, it’s too early to tell.

“And if you look at those niche markets like organic, you could see some loss in demand but a lot of it depends on how long businesses stay shut and what they’ll need to survive.”

Despite the challenges that COVID-19 has placed on virtually every facet of daily life, farmers are starting to see rays of light amid the clouds. For the agriculture industry, its provided an opportunity for those not connected with the industry to observe the amazingly large strides the industry has taken in being a part of the solution concerning our carbon footprint.

“I’ve seen a lot of talk in the news about the decrease in pollution, but (See, AG INDUSTRY, A2)

Air and waterways are cleaner all around the globe. “This says that although we play a part in the carbon footprint, we are a small part of that. I think this is a big positive for agriculture that’s come out through this pandemic. We aren’t the biggest contributor to global warming.

Also at the meeting, Chairman Little submitted his report concerning four inter-governmental agreements with townships in the county.

Four Jersey County townships, which all lack a township assessor, will pay the county Supervisor of Assessments, Crystal Perry, to do their property assessments. “This means getting accurate and fair assessments,�

Little said. “It means fairness to the tax payers that everyone is assessed correctly, and it means fairness to the taxing bodies that receive revenue from property taxes.

Overall, this means a fair system of assessment in these townships where there is no assessor.�

Meisner shared her thoughts regarding the friends, family and neighbors of those engaged in the industry. “It has been really cool getting to see how these small communities in our area are working to keep morale boosted.

Arnold shared.

Medical professionals keeping in touch with the ministry have relayed they need at least two masks per person, but more help is needed to fill that quota. Volunteers are needed who can help trim, cut and sew the fabric, as well as assemble kits. “We have several people who have never sewn in their entire lives who are now sewing masks for us. If you don’t know how to sew, we’ll show you how,� Arnold said. “We have a couple machines we can loan out as well if a volunteer needs one for sewing masks.�

Arnold further shared that donations are always in demand at the Angel Ministry building. “About 90 percent of our materials have been donated, the rest comes out of pocket.�

Arnold reports that the organization needs 3/8 inch elastic, but can use any elastic that does not exceed three quarters of an inch. They also require more 100 percent cotton fabric as well as polypropylene. “Angel Ministries is closely working with Helping Hands in Jersey County, and Cathy Reynolds has been a tremendous resource for us right now.

She got ahold of the company that produces Scott’s landscape material to inquire if it is safe to use as a filter for the masks.

The material can be used in place of the polypropylene.

She specifically talked to the president of the company who informed her that they’ve been

shipping the landscape material out for months by the semiload to various states for this very same purpose. Even his wife, who is a nurse, has been using them in making her own masks,� Arnold explained.

Masks have been given to healthcare facilities all over the region. “Off the top of my head I know that 90 masks went to MoBap, 400 went to an in-home healthcare facility in Alton, 150 to Jersey Community Hospital, 50 to Illini Medical, 45 are being sent off to Illinois Valley in Gillespie and they’re also being sent to various nursing homes in Jerseyville as well as locations in surrounding counties,� Arnold said. “Even the City of Jerseyville has requested masks.�

Orders are being delivered to healthcare facilities via employees who live in or around Jerseyville, but anyone can request masks, and many have already done so through the Helping Hands facebook page. “Everything is free. We aren’t charging for these masks because people need them,�

Arnold added.

Arnold has also found that various people throughout the county have been sewing masks for family members who work in the healthcare industry, but through a collected effort and support from organizations such as Helping Hands and Angel Ministries, citizens working for the health and safety of their communities have a loose association with one another and can rely on each other to aid in their joint goal.

Russell takes ag industry by storm

By CONNOR ASHLOCK Jersey County Journal A Jerseyville FFA alum continues to exemplify everything the blue and gold stands for.

Krista Russell might not have grown up on a farm, but if there’s one thing in the world that suits her perfectly, it’s a career in agriculture. “My first exposure to agriculture was getting involved in the Jerseyville FFA program. Of course, I was born and raised in Jersey County, which is an agricultural community, but I wasn’t raised on a farm,“ Russell said. “My older brother Derek was in FFA and I always knew that it was something that I wanted to do when I made it to high school.�

And when the first day of freshman year came, Russell hit the ground running. “I participated in multiple career development events, such as forestry, agronomy, parliamentary procedure, job interview, livestock judging-you name it, I did it,� she said.

Russell would continue to work diligently and dream big while in FFA, going on to achieve the State and American degrees, the highest honors in FFA at their respective levels. “Before I could earn my American degree, I first had to attain the state FFA degree, which in order to do so, required me to earn or productively invest $1,000 through an agricultural pursuit,� she said. “To get my American degree, I had to have a supervised agricultural experience throughout all of high school and part of college. “To receive this degree, I had to earn or productively invest $10,000 throughout the course of the project and be active in FFA all throughout the process. How I earned my $10,000 was by working my family’s garden and working at Jerseyville Bayer as a field technician. “Earning the American degree was the best achievement of my life at that time, and it’s something that not many people get to experience because less than onepercent of all FFA members ever achieve it, and there’s over 650,000 members throughout the nation, so it meant a lot to me. “It was a major goal of mine that I set out to achieve as a freshman and through hard work, I made it.�

Aside from her work in attaining the state and American degrees, Russell also acquired several notable experiences while in FFA. “I got to be a member of the national FFA band and represent Illinois and my chapter at the National FFA Convention for two consecutive years in Louisville, playing on the fields at Churchill Downs my first year and serving as the first chair flute my second year,� she said. “I got to attend FFA camp, a leadership conference, the farm progress show and volunteer at numerous community events, through it all garnering friendships all over the region that I still maintain today.�

When Russell graduated from high school and the

KRISTA RUSSELL Jerseyville FFA chapter, she started classes at SIU Carbondale where she majored in agricultural systems and education, while also serving as the secretary and president, respectively, of the SIU Collegiate FFA chapter. “When I was a senior in college, I began full-time teaching at the Goreville FFA chapter, which is a small school south of Marion, Illinois,� she said. “At Goreville, I immediately got involved in the program and created a brand new forestry team in their chapter that won first place at the section level and competed at the state competition.�

But starting the forestry team wouldn’t be the biggest takeaway for Russell while student teaching, as her students included her in a very special project, sharing both the work and success with her. “For the ‘Building Communities Project’ of the national chapter award, students interviewed local veterans and wrote down their stories, publishing them in a book,� she said. “A lot of these stories had never been told before, not even to families. They got to tell a story about their local heroes that hadn’t been told before. “For this project, they went on to be named the number one Building Communities Project in the nation and received the award on stage at the national FFA convention, which was a really great experience for me because I had the honor of going on stage with the students when they found out they won.�

Not long after her national convention experience with the Goreville Chapter, Russell graduated summa cum laude from SIU Carbondale and wore the cord for the agronomy society. She only took a short time to celebrate before starting on her graduate degree. “I began classes at SIU Edwardsville the following semester studying environmental science with a specialization in policy and public administration,� she said.

While completing her stud-

ies, Krista has been diligently working alongside faculty conducting research on the renewable fuel standard and agricultural land use changes. She recently presented her research on an environmental policy panel at the Southern Political Science Association annual conference in San Juan, Puerto Rico. “It was an interesting time to travel because of the recent earthquakes in Puerto Rico.

We landed in Puerto Rico a day after the first major earthquake and left ten minutes before the second earthquake struck. But thankfully, I was still able to present the research that I had worked so hard on,� Russell said.

In addition to her research with the renewable fuel standard and ag land use, Russell is also working on a major project that was inspired by her work with the National Corn to Ethanol research center, where she worked during the summer of 2018. “At SIUE, I’ve been working on a USDA grant that focuses on building agricultural science opportunities in the St. Louis Metro-East Region. Within this role, I have been able to make a meaningful impact by increasing agricultural opportunities for students throughout the area,� she said.

Russell lives every day to honor that blue corduroy jacket that means the world to her and to all who’ve been a part of FFA, and encourages anyone about to start high school to get involved with it. “Any student that ever has the opportunity to be involved in FFA should take it, and the same goes for 4-H, too,� Russell said. “They aren’t just focused on cows, sows and plows, like a lot of people think. They prepare and provide you with great opportunities within Illinois and the St. Louis region in many careers from communications to science, business, policy and so much more.�

These skills, according to Russell, set FFA members up for success in virtually any field. In fact, Russell attributes much of her own success to the experiences and habits FFA helped her cultivate. “As my career moves forward, my hope is to continue to be an advocate for agriculture, build agricultural education opportunities and ultimately show others how great I know the agriculture industry is,� she said.

Russell is currently completing her degree work at SIUE and will graduate this summer.

Thank you to all Essential Workers for continuing on during these trying times!

Pritzker reports more signs of ‘flattening the curve’

By PETER HANCOCK Capitol News Illinois More evidence emerged Tuesday that the spread of COVID-19 in Illinois appears to be leveling off, although Gov. JB Pritzker urged people to continue taking precautions to prevent a resurgence of new cases.

Pritzker made his comments as the Department of Public Health reported 1,222 new confirmed cases of the disease over the previous 24 hours, including 74 additional deaths. That brings the total number of cases recorded in Illinois to 23,247, including 868 fatalities, in 88 counties. “At some point we will have fewer cases to report and fewer lives lost. That will be good news,� the governor said during his daily briefing in Chicago. “But it doesn’t change the fact that each and every life that we lose to this virus is an immense tragedy. May each and every one of their memories be for a blessing.�

One statistic Pritzker highlighted is the “doubling rate,� or the number of days it takes to double the number of hospitalizations or deaths.

On March 22, he said, the number of new positive test results was doubling about every two days. As of Sunday, April 12, that doubling rate had been extended to 8.2 days, meaning the spread of the disease has been slowing.

Similarly, at the beginning of April, the daily mortality rate was doubling about every 2.5 days. That doubling rate is now about 5.5 days.

Pritzker also said that as a result of efforts to increase the state’s hospital capacity, COVID-19 patients are now occupying a smaller percentage of available intensive care unit beds. One week ago, he said, the percentage of ICU beds occupied by COVID-19 patients had increased from 35 percent to 43 percent.

But as of Tuesday, that rate dropped to 40 percent. “To be clear, there is nothing good about twice as many people having this virus, or worse, dying from it, no matter how long it takes,� Pritzker said. “But we won’t get to zero cases overnight. The fact that our doubling rate continues to increase in every metric is a clear demonstration that there is a deceleration of virus transmission.�

here is no doubt the COVID-19 pandemic has required sacrifices, big and small, from everyone.

People have lost their jobs, at least for the time being, because of this disease. And many who are considered essential are still out in the open, at-risk of coming into contact with someone who has contracted the virus.

It is especially a concern today as local numbers for those who test positive are rising.

But among the list of those essential workers, which would even include those in news, we feel those working in healthcare deserve a special recognition from those in the community.

Before the virus even hit the county line, healthcare workers were diligent in their preparation for its inevitable introduction to the community, conserving supplies and shutting down less essential services for the time being. They started screening individuals coming into the hospital as well.

Health officials also took it upon themselves to inform the public as best they could about safe practices as the country wades through this pandemic.

All of the safety measures in place do not eliminate the risk, though.

Even still, as COVID-19 makes its way in, doctors, nurses and other health officials remain vigilant on the frontline, sturdy in their resolve to do what they do everyday — this time under more risky circumstances, potentially dealing directly with those individuals who may have the virus.

These sacrifices as a result of their work are ever-present, though. For these healthcare workers, risk is presented everyday. However, this time around the worry is for their families, who they could potentially bring the virus home to.

As a precautionary measure, some staff shower or change clothes before heading home and are even isolating themselves from their families for the time being. These sacrifices should be acknowledged.

These individuals, above others, should be given some love by those in the community, especially now.

And this love can take shape in many different forms. It could be simply following the guidelines in regards to health safety amid this pandemic.

It could be a simple thank you to a healthcare worker you know. It can even go as far as sewing masks for these individuals and sending food to hospitals as some have already done.

Any way it might be done, we hope the next time you see a healthcare worker, send some love and appreciation.

They certainly deserve it.

Jersey had its own ‘home grown’ Olympic Silver Medalist O

ver the years, Jersey County has had its far share of talented athletes, but did you know Jersey County was home to an Olympic silver medalist?

Charles Lambert Redd was born in Grafton on Feb. 18, 1908, to Charles and Alice (Doyle) Redd. He was the third oldest in a family of seven athletic children.

Lambert was his father’s namesake, and his siblings included Bill, Ada (Redd) Richey, Alice (Redd) Barone, Robert, Fred and John.

Their father worked as a foreman at the Illinois Powder Company in Grafton and was serving as the mayor of Grafton when he unexpectedly passed away in 1928 at age 52.

While attending Grafton’s three-year high school, Lambert distinguished himself as an outstanding athlete. He finished high school at Wood River, and by age 17 was winning nearly every track event in which he competed.

Lambert attended Quincy College, where his winning streak continued. He ran a 10-second 100-yard dash and completed a 16.2-second 120-yard run in the high hurdles. He transferred to Bradley Tech in Peoria, where he set records in the high jump; long jump; and hop, step and jump (now known as the triple jump).

According to a 1932 article in the Peoria Journal, Lambert qualified for the 1928 Summer Olympics, but a last-minute injury prevented him from participating.

Four years later, as the 1932 Summer Olympics neared, Lambert was considered a strong contender for the upcoming Olympics after winning the NCAA long jump competition with a jump of 25 feet, 6 inches.

He competed in Chicago for a spot on the Olympic team and qualified for the long jump, as well as the hop, skip and jump. In the final Olympic tryouts in Los Angeles, he finished third in the long jump but was nosed out of the hop, skip and jump. He had offi-

cially made Guest Column the 1932 BY BETH MCGLASSON Olympic team!

As July 30th and the official start of the Olympics drew close, the lanky 24-yearold must have been incredibly excited and nervous.

The 1932 Summer Olympics are notable for a few reasons. It was only the second time that the United States had hosted the Olympics, and it was the first time photofinish cameras were used, the first time of automatic timing devices were used for track events, and the first time an Olympic Village housed athletes.

The long jump competition was held on Tuesday, Aug. 2. Lambert scratched in three of the six rounds. One of those fouls, which was hotly contested, was the longest jump of the day.

In round two, Lambert jumped 24 feet 11-3/8 inches, enough to take the silver medal. Less than two inches separated him from the gold-medal winner.

After the Olympics, Lambert returned to Quincy, where he remained after college, and worked as an athletic coach.

During WWII, he served in the Air Force and flew 187 sorties against the Japanese.

He was awarded two Purple Hearts for being wounded in action. He remained in the Air Force after the war, attained the rank of Lieutenant Colonel, and served as the executive officer to Colonel W. B. Hayes of the Morale Service Division in the Pentagon.

After retiring, Lambert returned to Quincy, where he lived the remainder of his life. He died Feb. 1, 1986.

Robin, Grackle troubles are endless F

This Week's

EDITORIAL

orget the robins. My mom is under attack by the grackles!

The grackles are building a nest up under the flashing, and they’re making a huge mess!

Grackles are not my favorite bird. I would rather have the robins over the grackles. Even my grandmother, Mary Moore, didn’t like the grackles at her bird feeder.

She said they tormented the songbirds and chased the little goldfinches away from the feeder. I think that, next to the Agway pigeons, grackles came a close second as my grandmother’s least favorite type of bird.

Grandma Moore always said that the grackles would kill the baby songbirds in their nests, then take over the nest for themselves. I don’t know how true that is, but I believed Grandma, and developed a firm dislike for the grackles.

Whenever Grandma Moore saw the grackles at her bird feeder, she would come charging outside to put an end to their bullying. I’m not exactly sure if she came out with a broom in hand or if she just waved her arms and shouted. Whatever she did, the grackles flew away up into the pine tree, but the other birds flew away with them, leaving the feeder bare.

No matter what Grandma Moore did, however, when her back was turned, the grackles swooped in, and the songbirds flew out.

The Agway pigeons eventually found better pickings at the Gospel Tabernacle Church and decided to hang out there rather than at my grandmother’s bird feeder, which made Grandma Moore very happy. The grackles, on the other hand, were tenacious. They continued to hang around the bird feeder, taking the free handouts and terrorizing the song birds. They were Grandmother’s bane, those black, awful birds. Grandma Moore continued to wage war with them until she became sick with bone cancer, and it no longer mattered.

We have grackles here at the apartments.

Believe me when I say it, they will nest anywhere that is not nailed down, tied, or otherwise secured. I have a neighbor down the street who struggles with nesting grackles every year at her house. It may sound cruel, but her dog gets most of the nestlings when they fly-or fall-from the nest to the ground. She says it’s pretty gruesome, but, at least it decreases the grackle population in her yard. Grackles are ugly birds. I

don’t like to see them around the Guest Column

BY HEIDI MOORE apartments, for they chase off the songbirds, and, in general, make a huge mess.

Mom’s neighbor, unfortunately, has a bird feeder, as do most of the neighbor’s in her area. Grackles may be mean, but they aren’t stupid. What better place to nest, and otherwise find a spring mate, than a street with bird feeders? Of course, they want to hang out and nest on Mom’s porch, because location is everything! They are into the flashing, and, due to the coronavirus lockdowns, this year they just might succeed.

The flip side of the whole fiasco is that the robins have also staked out the property, and they want to nest on Mom’s trailer, too!

The robins have been at this much longer than the grackles, so they know the game.

They are relentless. Where they want to nest is where they want to nest, and they cannot be convinced otherwise. Of course, with the grackles hogging all the best spots, pickings are rather slim. The robins can’t get close to the grackles for fear of their nestlings. No one wants to see a robin nestling massacre, especially Mom. Due to the presence of the grackles, the robins have taken over the front window at the front of Mom’s trailer that faces the street. They’re fairly safe, too, as the window has lost its seal. Mom can no longer knock down the nest with the hose, because she floods her kitchen. The robin determined to build there might just be in luck. The coronavirus lockdowns mean no fixed window seal, and Mom can’t climb up on a ladder. That robin should count its blessings.

She has it made!

The frustrating part of this aside, one does feel sorry for the birds this year. It’s been so rainy and wet! The birds have to be cold. And wet! They need a dry, warm place to nest and raise their young. You really can’t blame them for taking over the flashing, especially when the situation is so desperate.

Mom’s going to have a mess to clean up when this is over, but watching for baby nestlings might be a good trade off.

As long as the grackles stay on their side of the house!

OBITUARIES/NEWS

Wednesday, April 15, 2020

Joel Randolph Joel Francis Randolph, 43, died unexpectedly Monday morning, April 13, 2020 at his residence, the Randolph farm Homeplace, from complications resulting from a three year battle with heart failure.

He was born in Jacksonville, Illinois on March 28, 1977, one of four children born to Preston & Patricia (Witt) Randolph.

Since his birth, farming has been the centerpiece of Joel’s life. He grew up going to the farm with his Dad, Gramps, Great Uncles and Cousins.

He graduated in 1995 from Jersey Community High School, and was a proud member of the Panthers 1993 Class 4A ISHA football semi finalist playoff team, and graduated in 1999 from Western Illinois University in Macomb with a BS in Agribusiness. While at WIU he was a member of the AGR Fraternity.

His entire adulthood was spent farming, alongside his family, with Randolph Brothers Farms. In addition, he served as a loan officer for Cornerstone Bank and Trust in Jerseyville for a few years.

He was a former Past President of the Jersey County Farm Bureau, and was an avid fan of both the St. Louis Cardinals and the St. Louis Blues. Joel was able to achieve one of his dreams by attending the Cardinals spring training session just a few weeks ago, and was planning on attending his first opening day with the Cardinals, until the COVID19 pandemic cancelled all activities.

In addition to his love of farming, he adored his nieces and nephews, and attended every birthday party, Sunday breakfast, and enjoyed taking them out to lunch anytime the opportunity arose, just so he could spoil them as much as he could.

Surviving are his parents, Pres and Trish Randolph of Jerseyville; his three sisters and brothers in-law, Shannon and Nathan Fraley of Jerseyville, Lori and PJ Gaither of Godfrey and Katelin and Reagan Robertson of Quincy; his nieces and nephews, Megan, Abby and Sophie Fraley, Joseph Gaither and Nolan

Friends and family were encouraged to enter the funeral home parking lot via the south entrance and proceed under the drive through portico.

Crawford Funeral Home in Jerseyville is in charge of arrangements.

Robert “Bob” Schell, 67, was called into Heaven by our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, on Good Friday, April 10, 2020 following a long period of declining health.

Bob was born in Carrollton, Illinois on October 31, 1952 to Robert and Mary (Gaddy) Schell. It was fitting that Bob was born on October 31 as anyone who knew him can attest, he loved to pull “tricks” on people and he loved his sweet treats!

Bob attended St. Francis grade school and Jersey Community High School.

During his senior year in high school he enlisted with the United States Army where he completed his basic training at Ft. Leonard Wood. He served as a paratrooper and was stationed in Germany in 1970 during the Vietnam conflict.

Bob loved motorcycles and enjoyed the time he was able to ride his Harley Davidson with his many friends. Bob also loved to travel the country with his dear companion, Peggy (Crisswell) Brown, who preceded him in death. He was also a proud member of the American Legion.

Bob loved spending time with family and friends; he simply didn’t miss family gatherings for any reason.

In addition to spending time with family and friends, Bob greatly enjoyed his beloved dog of 13 years, Sadie.

Bob’s wish after three long months in the hospital and the rehab facility was to be home with his family and with Sadie. Bob’s wish was granted and he passed away peacefully at home with his

House Republicans call for beefing up state’s unemployment

By PETER HANCOCK Capitol News Illinois Illinois House Republicans on Monday called on Gov. JB Pritzker to do more to handle the unprecedented volume of new claims for unemployment benefits coming into the Illinois Department of Employment Security, even if that means reassigning workers there from other state agencies.

“Every day, my office and my colleagues’ office, Democrat and Republican, are inundated with calls and emails asking for help in filing for unemployment,” House Minority Leader Jim Durkin, of Western Springs, said during a video news conference. “These are people desperately asking for help telling me they can afford to pay their rent, buy their groceries for their family.”

Since the week that ended March 14, IDES has reported receiving more than half a million new claims for unemployment, due mainly to people being laid off from businesses that have been ordered closed during the COVID-19 pandemic. That number far exceeds all previous records for new unemployment claims.

Durkin was joined in the video conference by Reps. Grant Wehrli, of Naperville, and Mike Marron, of Fithian, both of whom said they have had similar experiences with constituents.

“Since the stay-at-home order has been issued, my office has been flooded with calls from constituents that have been laid off and are desperate for help in filing for unemployment insurance,” Marron said.

“We get at least 10 people a day who call and ask, ‘How can I get my application processed?’ Many of these individuals were unexpectedly notified that they were out of work due to how fast the situation materialized.”

The GOP news conference took place just a few hours before Pritzker’s daily news briefing in Chicago in which he said IDES has been doing everything it can to handle the volume of claims coming in, including upgrading its online application system and hiring back recently-retired employees. But he said the system used to process applications wasn’t designed to handle the volume of claims coming in.

“Remember that the computer system that was built to handle unemployment claims for our state was built in 2010 in the wake of the Great Recession, and it was built with the idea that unemployment

Bob was a very giving man who will be missed by many. He was preceded in death by his mother and father, Bob and Mary Schell; two sisters, Roberta Edwards and Mary Ann Snider; and his long time companion, Peggy (Crisswell) Brown.

He is survived by a brother and sister in-law, Ken and Mary Schell of Jerseyville; and a brother in-law, Dale Edwards of Carrollton; as well as many nieces, nephews and cousins. Bob will also be missed by many dear friends, who he considered family.

Due to COVID-19 mandates, there will be no public visitation. A memorial mass will be celebrated at the St. Francis Xavier Catholic Church in Jerseyville at a date to be announced in the future.

In lieu of flowers or plants, memorials may be given to St. Francis/Holy Ghost Catholic Schools in Jerseyville, in care of Crawford Funeral Home, 1308 State Highway 109, Jerseyville, IL 62052, who is assisting the family with arrangements.

would never really exceed what we saw in 2008 and 2009,” Pritzker said. “But today, we are seeing five times that number of claims.”

Durkin, however, said the administration should have anticipated the flood of new jobless claims that would come in to IDES before Pritzker issued executive orders closing nonessential businesses.

“This should have been thought about and I believe that the state of Illinois has failed those Illinoisans, who have been left out, that were cut out as nonessential, but they have not been able to survive and also rely upon the state of Illinois through the Department of Employment Security,” he said.

Pritzker said the IDES call center operates with a staff of 173 employees and that it recently updated its phone system to handle more calls. He also said the agency is establishing an outside call center with an additional 200 agents to field calls.

In addition, he said, the state has worked with a number of tech companies to upgrade the unemployment website to launch an automated “web bot” that can provide answers to frequently asked questions during all hours.

Since March 1, Pritzker said, IDES staff have worked a combined 6,500 hours of overtime and have processed more than 273,000 unemployment claims. That, however, is only a little more than half of the 513,000 new claims that have been filed during that time.

Since issuing a disaster declaration last month, Pritzker has dominated the statewide news cycle with his daily briefings and updates on actions his administration has taken to slow the spread of the disease.

Illinois Republicans, meanwhile, have been largely silent and supportive of Pritzker’s handling of the pandemic, even as Pritzker has doled out blistering criticism of the Trump administration for its handling of the crisis at the national level.

Monday’s news conference represented the first time Illinois Republicans as a group offered verbal pushback.

“Now we hear on a daily basis from Governor Pritzker about his frustration with the federal supply chain, and I share that frustration,” Wehrli said. “But he has absolutely no oversight of the federal government. He has 100 percent oversight of IDES, the Illinois Department of Employment Security, and this needs to get fixed right now.”

Local teacher works to keep kids learning at home

By CONNOR ASHLOCK Jersey County Journal Ashley Breitweiser is a seventh grade science teacher at Jersey Community Middle School with ten years of experience in working with junior high learners.

When Illinois schools started shutting their doors, Breitweiser saw that the great influx of instant-homeschool educators were going to need resources to help keep their students learning.

“Whenever I got word that we’d be switching over to digital learning, I started paying attention to all the great digital teaching tools that kept popping up on my Facebook page. I thought we really needed one place where this could all be placed and organized so others can find it as well- not just teachers, but parents working with their kids at home,” Breitweiser explained.

Thus, Breitweiser started up the Digital Teaching page on Facebook, a public group that since its start-up date on March 18 has acquired almost 600 members.

“It’s not just local people getting involved with the group,” Breitweiser shared. “People on the page are from

the tri-county area, St. Louis area, Chicago, Florida and even all the way from Uganda.”

Breitweiser wanted to give people plenty of opportunities to stay productive while they’re abiding by the stayat-home order.

“A lot of it is educational. It may not feel that way, but it is. I plan on utilizing some of these ideas in my classroom and I hope this page works to give families fun and educational things to do as well as boost their morale,” Breitweiser said.

“I want our kids to keep their thinking caps on while away from the classroom, but that doesn’t mean they can’t have fun to make that happen.”

The page has already proven itself to be such a wonderful resource, that Breitweiser plans to keep the page active even after the stay-at-home order is lifted.

“Teachers are using this page for ideas to implement in the classroom and parents are keeping their kids productive while away from school.

This is the only group I know of at this time whose purpose is sharing and communicating these resources to others, and I don’t want to see that stop,” Breitweiser explained.

FRIENDS & NEIGHBORS/SCHOOL

Engagement

On the page, ideas and activities that span all subjects and disciplines can be found in abundance. As new posts are made, Breitweiser checks out all the links to make sure they’re safe and accessible.

“I’ve seen people post links to virtual tours of museums and zoos, astronauts reading stories from space and a livestream of the northern lights.

Someone even shared a link from Yellowstone National Park where rangers traced a mule deer’s 255mile journey, recording the terrain and explaining why the deer took the route it did,” Breitweiser said.

Breitweiser has received many thanks and notes of gratitude from others for putting the group together, but she openly admits that the group has become what it is because so many people are contributing to making it better.

If you’re currently trying to keep your learners occupied during the stayat-home order, check out the Digital Teaching page. Even adults will find many of the activities enjoyable.

“It’s evolved into a place where people can share anything that’s creative and educational for all ages,” Breitweiser said.

Local teacher talks adjustment to digital learning amid pandemic

By CONNOR ASHLOCK Jersey County Journal The COVID-19 pandemic came at a time when educators were already determining what the most effective approaches to digital learning were and how best to use them.

Since Gov. J.B. Pritzker ordered all schools in the state to close until further notice back in mid-March, educators like JCHS english teacher Brad Kimble have been stretching the boundaries of their comfort zones with technology now that they no longer have faceto-face communication with their students. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In our school district, we were already a one-onone district (meaning one computer for every student) from fifth grade all the way through high school, so some of our resources were already in place when the virus prompted Illinois to shut down schools,â&#x20AC;? Kimble said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As far as COVID is concerned, educators in our district were already engaging in conversation over this a whole week before the mandate went into effect. When the mandate was announced though, teachers had little time to prepare, but what we had already been enacting for a long time prior made the transition easier,â&#x20AC;? Kimble added.

As time unfolds, people are beginning to see the toll the stay-in-place order is having on students and educators alike.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s uncertain what the future holds concerning the traditional springtime activities students look forward to, such as prom, banquets, the musical, spring sports and graduation.

But, another side that many donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see is that students are now enduring a complete transition in their normal learning format that they werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t entirely prepared to grapple with, and the same is true for their instructors as well. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In my own classes, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve only been interacting with about 40 to 45 percent of my students, which is not great.

I only have about four percent that do not have internet access at home, so I send them hard copies and expect them to return them to me in a couple weeks,â&#x20AC;? Kimble said.

Teachers have had to become more skilled with the use of technology in their classrooms and have had to reformat their grading structure as well in order to abide by the Illinois State Board of Education and district guidelines. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have a mandate of one grade a week and can only award up to ten points per week, but how we allocate those points is up to us.

For myself in my English classes, I have designated point values for different activities and spread them out over the course of several assignments, one of which includes my students having to maintain communication with me digitally during the week,â&#x20AC;? Kimble explained.

Kimble has been utilizing an internet resource known as Google Classroom for the past several years that allows him to maintain online communication with his students.

He also uses programs such as Remind and Skyward to maintain communication with his students. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have several routes for digital communication.

As far as class work goes, most of that work is given and received in Google Classroom. A lot of teachers use Google Classroom and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m using to push information through to my students. This has been familiar to my students throughout the school year, but the difference now is that I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have them in the classroom with me,â&#x20AC;? Kimble said.

Kimble is a big fan of technology and strives to be as forward thinking as he can with it. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been recording online instructional videos with a program called â&#x20AC;&#x153;Screencastifyâ&#x20AC;? that his students can access through Google Classroom.

Brenden Marshall, a junior at JCHS, sits down at the table Tuesday morning to get his schoolwork done for the day.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;For me, the only difference with digital learning is not having students in the classroom with me. I just donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have that frequent oneon-one access as I would in the classroom normally,â&#x20AC;?

Kimble said.

Though heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a supporter of incorporating new technology to aid in his teaching and has seen some benefits associated with it, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also aware of the challenges that come with it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The biggest thing Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve noticed is that people who really want to learn are staying on top of their work, while those who struggle with the academic setting are mentally moving on.

Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re letting school slide off of their radar,â&#x20AC;? Kimble explained. â&#x20AC;&#x153;One challenge is that ISBE told us grades cannot negatively affect their semester grades. So for the first two weeks, there were students hearing that message and thinking they didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to do anything, especially if they were comfortable with their current grade.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Another challenge is that since the stay-at-home order has been extended, the expectation has also changed.

A lot of my seniors have told me theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve switched to a fulltime work schedule. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re feeling overwhelmed because theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve changed their own personal expectation and have gotten away from the mindset of school expectations,â&#x20AC;? Kimble shared.

Now, grades can be used to hold students accountable, thus some of them have switched back into school mode, but the big thing is not having that face-to-face interaction. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A lot of people need the structure of school. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had three students say to me theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve missed school because of the routine it provides,â&#x20AC;? Kimble added.

Although on the outset it may seem obvious what the benefits and drawbacks of the recent situation are, Kimble shares that the problem facing educators and students alike goes much deeper than just being able to complete assignments and learn outside of the classroom. â&#x20AC;&#x153;To completely supplement face-to-face interaction is a difficult thing to do. Some students are completing their work but arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t communicating with me so I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know how they are doing emotionally. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know if this is adding stress or not or if their home lives might be affecting them. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Instructors do more than just teach content, and I think this fact has become absolutely relevant for those parents and guardians who are watching their students and how they really do act.

The number one thing weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re learning as teachers is that we meet more than just academic needs. We are social, behavioral and emotional experts. There are so many layers to our profession that go deeper than just teaching content,â&#x20AC;? Kimble explained. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For me personally, I value the relationships I have with my students, and I challenge them to be better in every aspect of their lives.

Teachers have relationships with their students, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no getting around that. We have established connections of trust with them and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re comfortable with letting us in on whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going on in their world. And thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the part we all miss as educators right now,â&#x20AC;? Kimble added.

Kimble has been teaching since January 2002 and has been at Jersey Community for about 10 years. This is an unprecedented time in his career and in the careers of his colleagues. But this pandemic that has strained our resources and kicked our feet out from under us has served to teach us what we didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know about ourselves and remind us of the important things we tend to forget, certainly the same lessons our ancestors learned 100 years ago when the Spanish Flu claimed the lives of untold millions. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It makes us all think about what the important things really are. The important things are the relationships you build. And when you take that opportunity to build relationships away, it makes people value and appreciate what they no longer have,â&#x20AC;? Kimble said.

Jerseyville, Illinois

Census Bureau calls on Jersey to make 2020 count Response rate map shows what areas are responding fastest

Every 10 years in the United States as mandated by the U.S Constitution, a decennial census is conducted that determines who is counted and where they are counted.

The U.S. Census Bureau has worked diligently since 2010 to ensure that responding to the 2020 Census is easy, safe and important because it is key to shaping the future of communities. Census statistics are used to determine the number of seats each state holds in the U.S. House of Representatives and informs legislative district boundaries. They also inform how hundreds of billions of dollars in public funds are allocated by state, local and federal lawmakers to communities for public services and infrastructure like hospitals, emergency

services, schools and bridges each year over the next 10 years.

According to national data, 50.9 percent of households responded to the 2020 Census in Jersey County since invitations began arriving in mailboxes March 12-20. This can be compared to 52.5% who have responded in the Illinois.

Response rates are updated in the map daily seven days a week at 2020census.gov/en/ response-rates so that the public can see how well their community is doing compared to the nation and other areas.

The Census Bureau is strongly encouraging the public to respond to the 2020 Census online using a desktop computer, laptop, smartphone or tablet.

You can respond online or by phone in English or 12 other languages. There are also 59 non-English language guides and videos (plus American Sign Language) available on 2020census.gov ensuring over 99 percent of U.S. households can respond online in their pre-

ferred language. It is vital with the current health and safety guidance being provided by national, state and local health authorities.

When one responds, remember to: Respond for where you live as of April 1, 2020.

Include everyone who usually lives and sleeps in your home as of April 1, even if they are staying somewhere else temporarily. This includes relatives, friends, roommates and anyone else who lives and sleeps in your home most of the time â&#x20AC;&#x201D; even children under age five and babies born on or before April 1, even if they are still in the hospital.

Count college students where they live while attending school. If they live on campus in university/college housing such as dorms or fraternity/ sorority houses, they will be counted by school officials and do not need to respond.

However, if they live off campus in private housing or apartments, they should respond to

the census on their own using their off-campus address even if they are currently staying elsewhere.

Find additional answers about â&#x20AC;&#x153;Who to Countâ&#x20AC;? at 2020census.gov.

You can use the Census ID from your invitation or provide your address when you respond. Responding now will minimize the need for a census taker to follow up and visit your home later this year.

Some households â&#x20AC;&#x201D; in areas less likely to respond online â&#x20AC;&#x201D; have already received a paper questionnaire along with their first invitation. Households that have not responded online or by phone will receive a paper questionnaire April 8-16.

For more information, visit 2020census.gov.

Note, based on continuing assessments of guidance from federal, state and local health authorities, the Census Bureau is suspending 2020 Census field operations to April 15, 2020. The Census Bureau is

taking this step to help protect the health and safety of the American public, Census Bureau employees, and everyone who will go through the hiring process for temporary census taker positions. The Census Bureau continues to evaluate all 2020 Census field

operations and will communicate any further updates as soon as possible.

The 2020 Census is open for self-response online at 2020census.gov, over the phone at 844.330.2020 (English) and 844.468.2020 (Spanish) and by paper through the mail.

good GROWING Keeping you growing with good ideas s University of Illinois Extension

There are a host of options when starting a garden

When it comes to planning and creating a garden, you need to determine how youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to grow your plants. There are a variety of ways in which this can be done, each with its advantages and disadvantages. The amount of space, as well as your gardening goals, will play a large role in the type of garden you choose.

In-Ground Bed (Traditional) This type of garden bed is dug directly into the ground.

Because these beds are using the existing soil, there is typically less start-up work.

When it comes to size, the only real limitations to this type of bed is the amount of space you have and how much of your yard you want to convert to a garden. Since these gardens can be large, they can provide plenty of space for wandering plants such as pumpkins, squash, and watermelons.

There are some disadvantages to in-ground beds, though. They generally require more maintenance, particularly weeding. If you have poor soil, the soil may need to be amended. Since the beds are at ground level, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be working at ground level, and depending on the state of your knees and back, that may not be all

that appealing. Finally, the soil can be compacted by repeated foot traffic.

Raised Beds Raised beds are elevated above ground level and often surrounded and contained with boards or other materials. The beds are filled with a mixture of compost and garden soil. These beds are usually 2- to 4-ft. wide, 6- to 12-in. high, and as long as you want. Raised beds are a good option for intense growing in a small area.

Since these beds are raised, it allows you to garden in soils where it may be difficult to grow vegetables such as areas with poor drainage or compaction issues.

They have better drainage, and the soils warm-up earlier in the spring compared to in-ground beds. There also tends to be fewer weed problems, although this can vary depending on the soil you are using to fill the beds.

While there are many advantages to raised beds,

there are also some disadvantages. Raised beds have to be constructed, which can come at the cost of both time and money. Filling raised beds can be expensive, especially if you are building large beds. Some crops donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t work well in raised beds; for example, vining crops can overtake a bed. Finally, raised beds tend to dry out faster than in-ground beds, so they need to be watered more frequently.

Containers Containers come in a variety of shapes, sizes, and materials. Planting containers need drainage holes and should be made from materials that hold up well when wet and left outdoors. Containers are a great option for areas with limited space; all you need is a flat surface and sun. Containers can be easy to move, which is helpful if you are growing plants that arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hardy in Illinois.

Like raised beds, there is some upfront cost if you

are going to be purchasing pots. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll also have to spend some money on the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;soilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. Rather than using soil, use a soilless mix, usually referred to as potting soil.

Potting soil is typically a mix of peat, vermiculite, bark, and coir fiber that is light and drains well. Because containers are small, they need to be watered much more frequently. Finally, depending on the type of container, you may be limited in what you can grow.
