JCHS educator earns Teacher of the Year Award By ROBERT LYONS Jersey County Journal The hard work in Jersey classrooms is paying off for more than just students. Jersey Community High School math teacher Lori Thurston was named the Silver Medallion Teacher of the Year during a ceremony April 17 at Lewis and Clark Community College. To earn the award, students in high schools throughout the region nominate their favorite

gotten through to them. “One of the comments was ‘You get exactly what you work for from this teacher.’ I try to be very rigorous in what I expect from my students and have high expectations, and I thought that [statement] probably hit the nail on the head.” Though Thurston does not teach to win awards, being in a position to distinguish herself as one of the top Riverbend area teachers was not exactly a swift process.

Invasive Species Awareness Month kicks off in May By BOB CROSSEN Jersey County Journal Illinois Department of Natural Resources has partnered with awareness groups to promote ways to evade the spread of invasive species throughout the state during the month of May. As part of Invasive Species Awareness Month, the group has numerous events scheduled throughout May to teach people about the different species and how to combat them, improving the quality of life for native species in the area. “The whole idea behind it is just to get a lot of partners and different people across the state working together to just get the word out about invasive species and help educate the public that this is an issue,” Chris Evans said. Evans is the Invasive Species Campaign Coordinator for the Illinois Wildlife Action Plan, a component of the Illinois Department of Natural Resources. He said bush honeysuckle has been the most troublesome shrub in Jersey County and the surrounding area. Growing to between six and 12 feet tall, he said the plant’s thicket of branches and leaves shade the ground beneath it, killing off local species that need sunlight. (See, invanSive, a2)

Jerseyville approves change order, Illinois American Water acquiring seeks grant for Curtis Adams private waterline

By BOB CROSSEN Jersey County Journal The Jerseyville City Council approved a change order for the Curtis Adams drainage project during a regular meeting Tuesday. Andy Macias, streets and public improvements commissioner, said some leftover grant money from a project to battle flooding in the area was available to make further improvements. “[Heneghan and Associates] is drying up our grant funds. We had some monies

left on the table,” Macias said. “We were able to work to get those additional monies for storm sewer, inlets, road repair on Maple Street, and adjustment of quantities.” The Curtis Adams street project was completed last December with a focus on improving drainage in the neighborhoods around both Curtis and Adams streets. Residents in the area complained about backed up water in their yards and frequent flooding in their basements as a result of rain prior to the project. With the improvements, water drains

south and is metered out across County Road, and the water flow is directed by concrete troughs rather than muddy ditches, which also aids to the public appearance of the area. The change order added an additional $32,000 to the cost of the project, all of which will be paid with existing grant money. Relating to further improvements of the Curtis Adams Project, the city tabled approval to apply for a community development assistance program (CDAP) grant. (See, JerSeyville, a2)

BOB CROSSEN Jersey County Journal After the sale of Grafton’s water plant to Illinois American Water, only the first meter on Daggett Hollow Road’s line had been read for billing, meaning one person has received the bill for all homes connected to the private line. The Grafton City Council approved to allow city workers to read water meters for the private waterline during a regular meeting April 22. Alderman Joe Carey said there are seven meters attached to the private line, which Illinois American Water is in the process of acquiring from the private owners. He said he would also like the city to expose the line for a tracer

wire. “I wanted to have our people expose the waterline just to see if that tracer line is there just to help those folks out,” Carey said. “ Alderman Jerry Bauersachs worried about the legal implications of digging up a resident’s personal property to trace the line. He said the council should have an agreement in writing from the property owners before turning over the dirt. Prior to selling the water plant to IAW, city workers read all the water meters throughout the city, including those on Daggett Hollow Road. Director of Public Works Joel Schwaab said he still has the readings of those meters from the last time they were (See, waterline, a2)

versity, Carpunky has built a reputation for being tough and smart. “She’s very deserving,” Thurston said. “She’s a great student, a nice young lady and she works very hard at what she does.” Though she is dedicated to her sports, which also includes soccer, she said classroom achievement always comes first. “I was really surprised,” Carpunky said of receiving the award. “Hard work, I feel like it’s starting to pay off.” Sixteen other JCHS students were recognized during the Silver Medallion Awards banquet.

Invasive

(Continued from A1) “It can grow so thick it shades out anything underneath it,” Evans said. “We’re seeing areas where there is a lot of it, there’s some drastic change going on. A lot of our native species are dropping out.” But the honeysuckle is also detrimental to wildlife, he said. Birds – thrush, robins and other shrub nesters – have had trouble using the bushes as locations for nests. Though they often nest in brush, studies have suggested honeysuckle has a detrimental effect to the species as they become more vulnerable to predators. He said the thicket of honeysuckle can even prevent new trees from growing as it will shade away sunlight from the initial tree sprout, preventing it from gathering the necessary energy to grow much larger. Evans said garlic mustard is just as problematic as the honeysuckle bushes, however, noting that it is more detrimental to the wildflower population in the area. He said garlic mustard outcompetes the local fauna for resources, decreasing the diversity of flowers in the ecosystem. “A lot of plants need association with fungus in the soil and garlic mustard doesn’t need that association,” Evans said, “So it actually can exude chemicals out of its roots that limit the fungal growth in the soil. That gives it its competitive edge.” The awareness month isn’t exclusive to teaching the public about invasive plants, however, as insects have begun to contribute to colony collapses of bee farms, and Asian carp have been targeted as a threat in the rivers lining Illinois’ border. A Brighton beekeeper said he had to burn hives because of an invasion of small hive beetles whose larvae fill up the combs of the hives, ruining the honey and bee’s habitat. Evans said destructive mites have also become a common threat for bees, as well. “They think they’re contributing heavily to the colony collapse issue,” Evans said, noting he is a beekeeper, as well. The brown marmorated stink bug has shown up in pockets across the state as well, he added, but the bug has not become a major concern like some of the other invasive insects.

One of the most publicized invasive species has been the Asian carp, an issue business partners in Grafton are prepared to address this summer when they open a fish plant in the riverside town. The fish plant has even received support from legislators in Illinois in the form of a $550,000 grant to get the facility up and running. The grant is treated as a loan from the state and the money is issued through the city of Grafton to American Heartland Fish Products. The plant aims to reduce the population of Asian carp in the Mississippi River. Asian carp refers to a set of carp species, specifically silver carp, grass carp, black carp and bighead carp. Silver carp are the most common, and the fish’s population has exploded in the past decade. In some areas, Asian carp make up 70 percent of the biomass of fish, and the invasive fish has begun to swim upstream toward the Great Lakes where officials have set up barricades to prevent their spread. Evans said as people become more aware, they can take steps to prevent the spread of invasive species, most notably plants, with a few simple rules. “People often have the ability to move these things around and left to their own devices, they can spread, but at a much slower rate,” Evans said. “The main thing is being aware of your potential to spread these species. … Clean off your boots. Get the mud off your boots to knock any seeds off.” He said moving firewood can bring new types of invasive insects to a different area as well, if those bugs have spawned larvae in the wood. Similarly, disposing of extra fishing bait into fishing waters or cleaning plants from a boat after leaving a lake, river or other body of water are common ways to avoid the spread of invasive species. For more about invasive species in Illinois and how to prevent their spread, visit invasive.org where there are links to common invasive plants, animals, insects and aquatic life as well as contact information about Invasive Species Awareness Month. A calendar of events throughout the state can also be found on the website.

Resident of Daggett Hollow Road Michael Foval said he and the others who are connected to the waterline have been working together to split the cost of the larger bill so it would not become a financial burden for one person. Foval said Illinois American Water is in the process of taking over the private line to alleviate any future concerns, but the process is moving slowly. The city agreed to read the meters for the residents so the split of costs can be done per household to make things more fair for all those involved.

In a statement issued to the Jersey County Journal from Karen Cotton, IAW external affairs manager, the company notes it is in the process of acquiring the line. “We continue to work to add this private water main to our distribution system,” the statement said. “We appreciate the patience of the residents and the assistance from the city of Grafton while we continue to work together.” A timetable for when the line will come into the ownership of IAW is not clear, but Grafton will continue to read the water meters until the line ownership changes. Schwaab said it would take approximately 30 minutes to check all the meters.

By roBert LYonS Jersey County Journal The presence of the Illinois State Police was felt in Jersey and Greene counties last week, as troopers conducted occupant restraint enforcement patrols. The occupant restraint enforcement patrols (OREP) focus on compliance with seat belts and child safety seat laws. According to Trooper Jeffrey Yenchko, District 18 safety education officer, 52 citations were issued in the two counties, including 38 for seat belts. Information from the Jersey County Circuit Clerk’s office indicates 27 seat belt tickets were written by ISP in Jersey County between April 21 and 23. The state police issued a press release April 14, announcing the patrols, which was published in the April 16 issue of Jersey County Journal. Yenchko said seven troopers spent four hours

each patrolling the two counties. “It’s a pretty good saturated patrol,” the trooper said. “It’s definitely a good reminder to the public to make sure they’re buckling up and following the law the best they can. It goes in waves. Sometimes everybody’s wearing them and sometimes nobody’s wearing them.” Yenchko said ISP chooses to increase its specialty patrols in the early spring as an awareness reminder. “Once the weather starts getting nice, a lot of people start going out for drives,” he said. “Last year, right at the beginning of May, I know we had several motorcycle and car crashes in our district.” In Illinois, all occupants of a motor vehicle are required to be buckled up. According to the press release from ISP, seat belts save more than 12,000 lives each year and in more than half of traffic fatalities the deceased was not properly restrained.

Wellness Center offers free swim lessons scholarships Staff report Jersey County Journal The JCH Wellness Center is offering scholarships for free swim lessons this summer. Students completing first through fifth grades in Jersey schools, who are on free and reduced lunch, are eligible to apply for one of five scholarships. The normal cost for the lessons are $45 for non-members of the Wellness Center. “We know not everyone has the financial means to pay for swim lessons; however, I feel it’s a very important life skill everyone needs to know,” Jen Rogers, Wellness Center fitness coordinator, said. “When I hear of kids drowning on the news I cringe knowing it could most likely have been prevented with a little education.” The scholarships have been made

available by proceeds from the 2013 Heart and Sole 5K, which was put on by the Wellness Center. All money raised during the event went to children’s programming. The deadline to apply for a scholarship is May 9, and recipients will be notified by May 12. Applications are available at the Wellness Center, located at 412 Maple Summit Road in Jerseyville. Applicants must provide proof of public aid. Regular registration for summer swim lessons begins May 16. The cost for Wellness Center members is $40. Payment is required at registration. Classes are taught by American Red Cross certified instructors. There are three sessions available, June 9-19, June 23-July 3 and July 21-31. For more information on swim lessons or the scholarships, contact Rogers at 618-498-3500.

“We will usually measure success on how many tickets we’ll write,” Yenchko said. “The best success that we could measure would be, ‘Hey, we had several guys out there, and each of them worked four hours, and they hardly wrote any tickets because it was too hard to find stuff.’ That would be the best success rate.” Yenchko said the mission of ISP is to ensure public safety, and to prevent crashes and injuries. “We’re not in the job of taking money out of people’s pockets,” he said. “Sometimes reminders work in the form of a warning, other times you might need a ticket.” The safety education officer said as warmer weather continues to come into the area, ISP will likely conduct more specialty patrols, which will focus on DUI, speeding and reckless driving. “You’ll see a lot of that in May,” he said, noting ISP always sends out information about their special patrols.

(Contined from A1) because we go to these track meets and even on a day where it’s not raining or anything, just to get the kids out of the sun,” IMS boys track coach Kit Crawford said. “They’re there all day long and they’re running, then they get a chance to get out of the sun and get the heat off of them a little bit.” According to Judy Collins, Big Ed’s organizer and Darr’s aunt, every Jersey County school either has gotten or will get an endowment of some sort. If funds are set aside for scholarships again this year, which is being discussed, around $5,000 will be donated to educational endeavors. For District 100’s elementary schools, as well as St. Francis/Holy Ghost, money is being donated to the PTOs. “The only sport that Eddie participated in was wrestling,” Collins said of the donation to the high school. “So, we decided since wrestling is a sport that is kind of left behind, we donated to them.” In the past, proceeds from Big Ed’s Run have been donated for benefits, victims of house fires, gas cards and Coats for Kids, among other causes. This year they wanted to donate to a cause they had not given to in the past, and came up with giving money to various school programs. Collins said there are also plans to purchase a drinking fountain for Jerseyville’s Wock Family Lake. In its final year, Collins said the poker run netted $10,000 after all expenses. Collins said it was hard to keep track of how many people participated in the ride, but those who bought a

poker hand were also required to sign a waiver. Last year, 478 people signed the waiver and many more rode along, either as passengers or without participating in the poker game. “A lot of times if you’ve got a guy and a girl on a bike, the guy will come in to buy the poker cards and sign the waiver, but the girl doesn’t come in and they’re not counted,” she said. From the start, Big Ed’s run was a success. “The first year, thinking it was going to be a little poker ride, it ended up being about 500 people,” Collins said. “Every year after that, it just got bigger and bigger.” As the number of people participating grew, so did the amount of work organizers had to put in. “It had gotten to the point it was taking about 60 volunteers to put this on every year,” Collins said. “It was a lot of work. You can only ask so many people to do this so many years.” After the seventh or eighth year, according to Collins, it was decided the 10th year would be the last. Collins said the group that organized Big Ed’s Run is still trying to contact individuals from some of the schools. But, for the ones who have gotten their donations, like the IMS track teams, Ed Darr is still making a positive impact in the community. “It’s wonderful. The girls coach was more than appreciative, too,” Crawford said. “That Big Ed’s Run got pretty big and it wasn’t just bikers. It was a means for people to get together and have a good time. The money that they raised, they donated to a lot of good causes.”

Jerseyville

(Continued from A1) Mayor Richard Perdun worried the public hearing held prior to the meeting Tuesday was not valid because it had not been placed on the agenda and posted at city hall. The public hearing was advertised in the Jersey County Journal in the April 16 issue. “It’s not on the agenda, so it couldn’t have been posted to the public, so that’s why I chose not to participate,” Perdun, who did not attend the public hearing, said. At the request of the city council, City Attorney George Wittman researched the validity of the public hearing and concluded there was no problem with how notification was made. Macias said the council will vote on the issue during a special meeting May 6. Emily Fortschneider, Heneghan and Associates representative, explained during the public hearing that the city would be looking at a $450,000 grant for additional improvements to the Curtis Adams drainage project. With a projected pool of $11 million, she said the funds the city could receive would be used for public infrastructure with a design component. “Before, you could either apply for

design one year and then spend that money and go in for another grant for construction,” Fortschneider said. “But they’ve combined it this year which is a lot more convenient.” According to an informational packet about the grant options, the city could use the grant for engineering and architectural design costs, and may not be used for construction of buildings used predominantly for city government purposes. The money may not be used for activities that do not address the threat of health and safety. The council tabled approval of the grant application until its next regular meeting May 13. In other business, the council: n Approved the minutes of the previous meeting and the bills. n Appointed Dean Bishop and Steve Pohlman to the board of fire and police commissioners for threeyear terms, Carl Crawford to the TIF advisory board for a three-year term, and Don Breitweiser to the planning and zoning board for a seven-year term. n Approved a variance of setback requirements for the north and south property lines of 119 East Exchange St.

His passenger, 29-year-old Sandy J. Nicolet, of Alton, was taken to St. Anthony’s Hospital in Alton. Emergency personnel from Jersey County Sheriff’s Department, QEM Fire Protection District, Grafton Police Department, Madison County Sheriff’s Office and Lifestar Ambulance responded to the scene.

Discount House grand opening and open house Saturday By BoB Crossen Jersey County Journal Though it has been open for decades, Discount House in Jerseyville will celebrate its grand opening May 3 with an open house. Dianne Devening and her husband, Sherman “Gene” Devening, took over the business last October from John Jones, Sr. Dianne Devening said her family know the Joneses well and were quite familiar with Discount House prior to purchasing it. “[Gene and my sons] were in here a lot. This is something they’re very interested in,” Dianne said, noting they are also avid hunters, a demographic to which the Discount House caters. Because neither Dianne nor Gene has owned a business prior to taking up ownership of the Discount House, Dianne said the business acquisition has been a learning experience for them. She said Gene works in the electric trade, and the Discount House serves as a good back up when he is occasionally laid off. Devening said that taking over the business last fall occurred at the same time as the federal government shutdown, which hindered gun sales significantly for many weeks. “We were kind of overwhelmed in October,” Devening said, noting the winter weather earlier this year further delayed the grand opening celebration until now. But the business sells its customers many items other than just guns. From cleaning supplies, tools and hunting gear to clothing, electronics and flashlights, the Discount House is a onestop shop for many of its customers. She said her favorite aspect of the job so far has been taking and purchasing inventory. “I like ordering the inventory,” Devening said. “It’s shopping for everybody. …We want to bring in the stuff that people want. You could spend hours going up and down [the aisles] and still not see everything.” The Discount House intends to continue its current offerings and add more items to flesh out the store’s options. Devening said she wants to

include more family items to encourage locals to go camping together or spend time outdoors. But by adding more items, the store could become cramped, an issue for which Devening said she is formulating a solution. Although still in the early planning stages, Devening said she is working on expanding the size of the store into the gravel space south of the current structure. “We want to kind of expand in the guns and the hand guns,” Devening said, noting additional items could entice a variety of customers. “We’ve got bird feeders and outdoor stuff for women. Some more family instead of just a men’s gun store.” She said keeping the store running smoothly

could not be done without the employees, however. Many of the workers who held their positions with the store when it was owned by Jones Sr., are still working for the Discount House. Devening said those employees are invaluable in passing along ideas for how to improve the store and informing them about what people want to see on the shelves. “The same girls that worked for John are here and they do an awesome job at keeping the store in order,” Devening said. The Discount House is located at 711 South State St. in Jerseyville, and will host an open house May 3, when the business celebrates its grand opening.

By roBerT Lyons Jersey County Journal A Kampsville woman was arrested and charged with several traffic citations, two misdemeanor counts and a felony aggravated driving under the influence charge. According to court documents, Ashley Richey, 28, crashed her 2006 Chrysler Town and Country minivan twice on March 31, and both times had a child who was not properly restrained in the vehicle. The first accident occurred March 31 at 10:03 a.m. on McClusky Road. The court documents state Richey crashed into a ditch while attempting to pass another vehicle. The second accident occurred the same day at 9:55 p.m. on Crystal Lake Road, when Richey again crashed into a ditch. She was charged with one count of endangering the life or health of a child for each wreck. Richey received seven traffic citations for the March 31 incidents, including three operating an uninsured motor vehicle tickets, two improper lane usage tickets and two child restraint violation tickets. The Jersey County State’s Attorney’s office requested medical records from Jersey Community Hospital, where Richey was sent for blood tests after the second crash. According to State’s Attorney

Ben Goetten, a blood test showed Richey was under the influence of benzodiazepines and methadone at the time of the second accident. “There’s absolutely no excuse for driving under the influence of any substance with children in your vehicle,” Goetten said in a statement to the Journal. “Both substances that the defendant tested positive for were prescription narcotic medications. While it’s not illegal to operate a motor vehicle while taking prescription medication, it is illegal to operate a vehicle when doing so creates impairment. To compound the seriousness, the children in the vehicle were not properly secured in safety belts when it crashed. While we feel the driver’s actions were no doubt irresponsible, the most important thing from our perspective is that these kids were not injured.” A felony aggravated DUI charge was filed April 4 in Jersey County Circuit Court, which alleges Richey was transporting her 3-year-old child at the time of the crash. Richey was convicted of DUI in 2006. If found guilty on the felony charge, Richey could face between three and seven years in the Illinois Department of Corrections. Richey’s children remain in the mother’s custody; however, Goetten said the Department of Children and Family Services has been notified.

Bomb threat scares CHS By BoB Crossen Jersey County Journal A bomb threat at Calhoun High School shut down education for the day, after Illinois State Police responded to the treat to initiate a full investigation. There was no explosion, nor was anybody injured Monday afternoon at the high school. Illinois State Police Trooper Jeff Yenchko said Monday afternoon there were no suspects but an investigation was ongoing. According to a press release issued Monday by the Illinois State Police, the Calhoun County Sheriff’s Office was notified of a letter stating a bomb was in Calhoun High School. Students and faculty were immediately evacuated from the building and bomb dogs were brought in from the Secretary of State Police and Secretary of State Capitol Police to conduct a search for the bomb. In an email to the Calhoun News-Herald Tuesday morning, Superintendent Kate Sievers said all high school staff and students were

An explosive device was not found as a result of the search, nor were any look alikes found. The Illinois State Police is conducting a full investigation of the threat. Sievers said she met with faculty and staff Tuesday morning to review protocols and how to address questions from the public regarding student safety. “I also met with the entire student body to explain what the police have done and what they will continue to do,” Sievers said in an email April 29. “I assured them the building is safe and their security is my number one priority.” Secretary of State Police, Illinois State Police, Secretary of State Capitol Police, Illinois Department of Natural Resources and the Calhoun County Sheriff’s Department responded to the scene after notification of the threat. No charges were filed as of press time.

or eight Jersey Community High School seniors, good choices have not only earned them DARE scholarships but they were recognized in front of Illini Middle School’s entire sixth grade class as role models.

DARE officer Sgt. Scott Woelfel introduced each of his scholarship recipients at last week’s DARE graduation and spoke of the success they’ve had in and out of the classroom. He pointed out that those students exemplify the traits needed to have a far better impact on society than the idols of today’s pop culture. Not every student who commits in the classroom and refrains from using drugs, alcohol and tobacco is going to set athletic records, receive 11 varsity letters, be accepted to Yale or be recognized as one of the state’s best student thespians – as was the case for some of the scholarship winners. But, the likelihood of achieving a measurable level of success is greatly diminished when drugs and alcohol are part of student’s life. The DARE program has evolved throughout its existence, and now focuses primarily on safe, responsible decision making. During the graduation ceremony, Sgt. Woelfel encouraged parents to also make good choices in regards to their parenting. Most notably, he stressed creating an expectation of accountability for children. Those eight who received the DARE scholarships have accepted responsibility for their actions and have chosen to make the most of the opportunities put in front of them throughout their scholastic careers. One senior scholarship winner, Chase Davis, who spoke at the DARE graduation, pointed out how succumbing to negative influences, sometimes brought by peer pressure, would have easily derailed him from achieving success in the classroom and in athletics. There are obviously many chances for children in Jersey County to succeed in school and in life. It takes a group effort – parents, teachers and the children themselves – invested in the children’s lives to realize the potential of each child. It may not be possible to eliminate teens’ access to substances that can hinder their future success, but with education and care it may be feasible to deter our community’s youth from going down the wrong path.

Utah story #3: Salt Lake City, land of beautiful scenery, music and people A

fter traveling through Zion and Bryce Canyon, Utah last summer, we ended our trip in Salt Lake City. My “bucket list” item in Salt Lake was to listen to the Mormon Tabernacle Choir practice, but before we did that we drove through the beautiful Provo Canyon, located just outside of Provo, Utah (home of BYU). Here, we escaped 100 degree temps and were surrounded by aspen and pine trees. As the road winded and curved and went up and down, mountain streams rushed past us and a cool breeze allowed us to turn the AC in the car off. Occasionally, we stopped and I put my feet in the chilly mountain water. This was a much different climate than we had previously experienced. At one stop we talked to a gentleman who was fly fishing. He told us that his wife sings in the Mormon Tabernacle Choir and some choir members drive over 60 miles to participate. On to Salt Lake City, we easily found our hotel near Temple Square and ate dinner at The Red Iguana, a locally recommended Mexican restaurant. When we got to Temple Square, we were immediately greeted by the friendliest people ever, who wanted to help us in any way they could. We signed up for the last tour of the day and got to hear all about the Mormon (LDS) church history and see the Tabernacle, conference center and the beautiful grounds. A wedding was going on at the temple (which only church members can enter anyway), but we did get to see part of this special occasion as the couple exited. Flowers in every color of the rainbow decorate the grounds along with fountains that create a

cool relaxing atmosphere. Not one piece of trash will be found on the ground. It is pristine, well kept and beautiful. The comfortable evening temperatures made it great to walk around the grounds and just enjoy the atmosphere. The LDS people generally dedicate two years of their lives to mission work and can literally be placed about anywhere in the world. The two people who gave us the tour, were doing just that. They could answer about any question we had. The next day we decided to drive about a half-hour out of the Salt Lake City to Park City. In the ski season, Park City is a bustling ski resort town. In the summer it is very quiet, quaint and peaceful. We rode three different ski lifts and looked around many of the fancy resorts in both Park City and Deer Valley. Lunch was spent at an outdoor café near a lake, where ducks kept us company and we enjoyed quiche and salad. I remember there were even flower petals in my salad! In the afternoon we drove to downtown Park City where a free trolley will take you around the shopping district. Art galleries, ski shops, cafés and ice cream places line one long street that is quite steep to walk up and down. The clear blue sky and dry air made the sun seem stronger. If you go to Park City, wear your sunscreen! Walking up and down the street I encountered locals as well as tourists and lots of interesting people. Settling in on a bench, I munched on a pretzel and was entertained watching the eclectic mix of people walking by. That night we returned to Temple Square and watched the Mormon Tabernacle Choir practice. Their

practices are Guest open to the pubColumn lic, but check their website BY LAURIE for details. FREY Vo l u n t e e r s greet you as you come in and show you to the front of the conference center. Up on the stage the 350-member choir was warming up. I got chills as I heard their majestic voices fill up this huge room. The power behind that many voices was enough to blow your hair backwards. We listened to them sing “Oh What a Beautiful Morning” from “Oklahoma” and “Smile” which is an old Charlie Chaplin song. Then they sang a song that I swear I had never heard before, but it just grabbed ahold of me. It was absolutely gorgeous, even with their stopping and starting and the director talking. None of that mattered. I later figured out, the song is called “Look To The Day.” If you get a chance, look it up on youtube. For almost two hours I sat there mesmerized by this world famous choir. As we left many people thanked us for coming and sent us off with warm handshakes. I was so impressed with how friendly and genuine everyone is. A true example of showing God’s love and hospitality to all! If you ever get a chance to go to Salt Lake City, I highly recommend it! Read and research ahead and talk to the locals and you will not be disappointed in all that you will learn. –––––––––––––––––––––––––––– n Laurie Frey is a social work-

Now we know the players T

he March 2014 Illinois primary is behind us; the November general election campaign can now begin. Our incumbent Democratic governor, Pat Quinn, will be challenged by Republican entrepreneur Bruce Rauner. Rauner spent over $14 million, including $6 million of his own money, to defeat three veteran Republican politicians—state treasurer Dan Rutherford, and state senators Kirk Dillard and Bill Brady. It was the most expensive governor’s campaign in state history. Quinn won the Democratic nomination with 71.9 percent of the vote, though he only took 52.5 percent of the vote here in Jersey County. On the Republican side, while Rauner won his nomination with 40.1 percent of the vote statewide, Jersey County Republicans actually voted for Kirk Dillard. Dillard, who was endorsed by former governor Jim Edgar, beat Rauner 36.3 percent to 26.6 percent in the county. Quinn is vulnerable and Rauner still has millions of dollars of personal money to spend in this campaign. Incumbent US Senator Dick Durbin, who had no primary opponent, will be challenged by Republican businessman Jim Oberweis. Oberweis has unsuccessfully run twice for US Congress, twice for US Senate, and once for governor. Oberweis defeated Dan Truax, a 43-year-old West Point graduate new to electoral politics. Oberweis defeated Truax by 56.1 percent statewide and by 76.8 percent here in Jersey County. According to the Center for Responsive Politics, Durbin has raised over $6.6 million dollars. Oberweis has a large personal fortune from the dairy and ice cream

business. The campaign experts are watching the 13th Congressional district, which includes Jersey County. Incumbent Republican Rodney Davis won his first term in 2012 by just over 1,000 votes. The district leans slightly Democratic. Davis has been targeted as one of the district’s most vulnerable to a Democratic challenge. Davis faced a primary challenge from Erika Harold that attracted national media attention. Harold, of mixed racial heritage, was the 2003 Miss America. Davis won the primary with 54.6 percent of the vote, and took Jersey County by the wider margin of 64 percent. Harold’s challenge may have been hype more than reality. According to the Center for Responsive Politics, Davis raised $1.77 million while Harold raised only $250,000. Nevertheless, she won more than 40 percent of the vote. She remains a potential star for the Republican Party. Davis will be challenged in November by former Madison County chief circuit judge Ann Callis. Callis won her primary by 54.6 percent against two opponents. Her victory margin was even wider in Jersey County, at 69 percent. At the county level, the Republican primary for sheriff attracted interest. Ray Sinclair defeated J.T. “Terry” Day 779 to 734 votes, about 51.5 percent to 48.5 percent. Sinclair will challenge incumbent Democratic sheriff Mark Kallal, who ran uncontested. Democrats Steve Pohlman, the incumbent county clerk, and Mark Kallal were the two top Democratic vote-getters, with 896 and 879 votes each. The top Republican vote-getter was county treasurer Gib Ashlock, with 1,454 votes. However, 1,642

Republicans Guest cast votes for Column the governor BY JOHN candidates. Countywide, WILLIAMS almost twice as many Republicans voted as Democrats. The most contested county board seat was in County Board district one, which covers the east side of Jerseyville and the northeast portion of the county. In the Republican primary, Kenny Grizzle (183 votes) defeated Jarrod Hayes (126) by 59 percent to 41 percent. In the Democratic primary, Wayne Schell (207) defeated Don Walsh, Jr. (93) by 69 percent to 31 percent. Contested elections tend to bring out voters. Interestingly, 309 Republicans and 300 Democrats voted in County Board District One. The March election offers at least three lessons. First, money does matter. Multi-millionaire Rauner was able to defeat three well-known veteran Republicans. His access to campaign resources might put him in the governor’s mansion. Oberweis, Davis, and Callis all had significantly larger campaign funds than their competitors. Second, if the Democrats are to be competitive in Jersey County, they need to increase turnout dramatically. And, finally, the Democrats, at least in Jersey County, staged a coordinated campaign. As evidenced by a full-page color ad in this newspaper, the party central committee signaled its preferences. Every one of the party’s preferred candidates won. –––––––––––––––––––––––––––– n John W.

Stolen Kane bridge suspect on the lam

Carmen EnSInGER Jersey County Journal Greene County authorities say they have solved the case of the stolen bridge, but the suspect is still at large. Greene County Sheriff Rob McMillen said a warrant has been issued for the arrest of Michael Wayne Tucker, 46, for the theft of an iron and wood bridge in Kane Township along with numerous other charges. The bridge, which was over a small creek on County Road 800N, was thought to have been taken sometime in February. It was not noticed until now because the road is in such bad condition leading up to the bridge it is not used very often. McMillen said pieces of the bridge were found on Tucker’s property when deputies went to discuss a property dispute with Tucker. After a search warrant was issued for his home, a 400-foot roll of four-inch field drainage tile that had been reported stolen from a farmer who lives near Tucker was allegedly found. This resulted in a second theft charge against Tucker. Sheriff McMillen spotted Tucker in a truck on Rt. 67

at County Road 750 North on April 20 and attempted to make a traffic stop. A three-mile pursuit ended with Tucker exiting the vehicle and running off into the woods to elude police. Upon a search of Tucker’s vehicle, deputies discovered both methamphetamine and methamphetamine related material and equipment. Arrest warrants were issued for Tucker on Friday, April 25 by Greene County State’s Attorney Caleb Briscoe, charging him with two counts of theft. Because the bridge is considered government property, the theft is a Class 2 felony. The theft of the drainage tile is a Class A misdemeanor. Additional charges were filed against Tucker for possession of methamphetamine, a Class 3 felony, for possessing less than five grams of a substance containing methamphetamine along with driving while license suspended, a Class 4 felony. As of Tuesday morning, Tucker had still not been apprehended. Anyone with any information as to Tucker’s whereabouts is asked to call the Greene County Sheriff’s Department at 217-942-6901.

MARK YOUR CALENDAR Lewis and Clark spring concert offers hope The Lewis and Clark Concert Choir and Limited Edition will present their spring choral concert, “Hang In… Hang On,” at 7:30 p.m. Monday, May 5 in the Ann Whitney Olin Theatre on Lewis and Clark Community College’s Godfrey campus. Inspiration for the concert came from the “It Gets Better Project,” which was started by Dan Savage and Terry Miller in 2010 to help young people who are facing harassment. In response to a number of students taking their own lives after being bullied in school, Savage and Miller wanted to create a personal way for supporters everywhere to tell LGBT youth, and other bullied teens, that it does, indeed, get better. “Everyone deserves to be respected for who they are, but growing up isn’t easy,” said Choral Director Susan Parton Stanard. “Many young people face daily torment and bullying, because they don’t fit in – because they are different.” The concert will begin with

songs that acknowledge the sorrow and loss people face on a daily basis. The songs will include Caccini’s “Ave Maria” with Gail Drillinger on flute, Kinley Lange’s “Agnus Dei,” Eliza Gilkyson’s “Requiem,” and Jeffrey Ames’ “In Remembrance” with David Drillinger on flugelhorn. Hope will be expressed through Rollo Dillworth’s “Jordan’s Angels,” “The Impossible Dream” from “The Man of La Mancha,” and Limited Edition’s renditions of “Make Them Hear You” from Ragtime, and a choral medley from “Honk! – the Musical Tale of the Ugly Duckling.”

The climax of the concert will be “Testimony,” a piece written by Stephen Schwartz, composer of “Wicked” and other Broadway favorites. Schwartz took lines from the testimonies of “It Gets Better Project” participants who faced fears and bullying. Their testimonies give hope to LGBT and all youth, that they are not alone and it will get better. The concert will end with Paul Simon’s uplifting “Bridge Over Troubled Water.” Those wanting more information about this performance can call Stanard at 618-468-4732 or the music office at 618-468-4731.

Farmers State Bank promotes year round dedication to financial literacy Jersey Community, North Greene, Pittsfield and Winchester High School students have dedicated more than 1,177 hours this year to a Financial Literacy learning course. For the third consecutive year, Farmers State Bank has granted students access to this web-based, consumer-education aligned program called the Farmers State Bank Financial Scholars Program. Using the latest in new media technology – simulations, avatars, gaming and adaptive pathing. The 10-unit course offers approximately six hours of programming aimed at a variety of relevant financial topics including credit scores, insurance, student loans, taxes, stocks, 401k’s and other critical concepts that map to state and national financial literacy standards. The course uniquely tracks the progress and scores of every student and provides students who successfully complete the course with Certification in Financial Literacy, a valuable mark of distinction on college applications and resumes. The Farmers State Bank Financial Scholars Program has proven to captivate students’ attention and help educate them on these complex financial topics. Last year, students improved their financial knowledge from 67 percent proficiency to 84 percent proficiency by the end of the program. Most notably, students saw a significant increase in investing knowledge, jumping from 50 percent to 83 percent.

Area quilters exhibit work in international quilting competition Three area quilters were selected as a semi-finalist for the 2014 AQS QuiltWeek® - Paducah, Kentucky, April 23-26, 2014, at the Paducah Expo Center in Paducah, Kentucky. Connie (Donovan) Anderson of Dow, Therese Kuddes of Godfrey and Jan Copeland of Hartford were chosen to display the quilt “Winter In The Garden,” along with 405 others in the annual contest, now in its 30th year. Three quilting authorities judged this elite group in Paducah, Ky., awarding first-, second-, and third-place prizes in 16 categories, along with nine overall awards. Winners were announced at the 30th AQS Anniversary Celebration, which took place at the Carson Four Rivers Center in Paducah at 5:30 p.m. on Tuesday, April 22. Cash awards totaling $125,000 were granted, including $20,000 for the Janome Best of Show; $12,000 for the BERNINA Machine Workmanship; $12,000 for the AQS Hand Workmanship; $12,000 for the APQS Longarm Workmanship; and $5,000 for the MODA Best Wall Quilt. Regardless of how Winter In The Garden places in the final judging, all semi-finalists’ quilts were displayed at the show, which was expected to draw more than 30,000 people. Quilts were entered in this international contest from 41 states and

10 other countries. Using fabric as their medium, quilters’ imaginations soar – from beautiful traditional quilts to one that has a blue pig and a red duck. Who knew that fabric, batting, and thread could create works of art for any artistic taste? Some of the special exhibits that were featured along with the contest quilts included: Stitch Like an Egyptian, GO! Have Fun Quilt Challenge, Quilted in Honor, SAQA Masters II, the Modern Quilt Challenge, and the Pilgrim/Roy 2014 and 2015 Invitational Challenges. AQS Founder and President Meredith Schroeder says, “For 30 years, quilters from across the U.S. and around the world have shared their quilts in the AQS Quilt Contest to make Paducah, the home of the finest exhibit of quilts as fiber art. Today’s quilters continue to push the boundaries through techniques used, exploration of materials, and letting their creativity soar.” The American Quilter’s Society hosts seven shows annually, each with its own quilt contest. Besides the Paducah show, AQS hosts other prestigious shows in Lancaster, Pa.; Phoenix, Ariz.; Charlotte, N.C.; Grand Rapids, Mich.; Chattanooga, Tenn.; and Des Moines, Iowa.

New vaccination requirements set for the 2014-2015 school year State Health Department reminds parents to check with their doctor during National Infant Immunization Week Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH) Director Dr. LaMar Hasbrouck is urging parents to talk with their child’s doctor about the new school-entrance vaccination requirements, and to make sure their child’s immunizations are up-to-date. This year marks the 20th anniversary of National Infant Immunization Week, April 26 – May 3, an annual

observance to highlight the importance of protecting infants from vaccine-preventable diseases. “While some vaccine-preventable diseases are relatively rare in the U.S., they are only a plane

ride away. Such diseases can be brought into the country by travelers, putting unvaccinated children at risk,” said Dr. Hasbrouck. “National Infant Immunization Week is a reminder to parents to make sure their children are up-to-date on immunizations. Immunization is a shared responsibility. Families, healthcare professionals and public health officials must work together to help protect the entire community.”

One example of the seriousness of vaccine-preventable diseases is

the current mumps outbreak in central Illinois. Preliminary numbers show more than 65 cases have been reported so far this year, compared with approximately 26 all of last year and 32 in 2012. While the majority

of cases in this outbreak are in adults, unvaccinated children and children not fully vaccinated could be at an increased risk of illness. To help prevent illness and outbreaks due to vaccine-preventable diseases, Illinois is implementing new immunization requirements for the 2014-2015 school year. Beginning next year, children entering school at any grade level (kindergarten through 12) need to show proof of having received two doses each (instead of just one) of rubella and mumps vaccines. In addition, any child entering kindergarten, sixth grade or ninth grade for the first time shall show proof of having received two doses of varicella (chicken pox) vaccine. For the following school year, 2015-2016, students will need to show proof of having received a meningo-

Ten tips for parenting teens (StatePoint) Parenting a teenager can be an uphill battle. In addition to the problems you may have faced in your youth, a new host of issues are presented by texting, sexting, social media and cyberbullying, point out experts. “Say the right thing and you’ll open up lines of communication. Say the wrong thing and it could lead to a fight or silent treatment,” says Joani Geltman, child development and parenting expert and author of “A Survival Guide to Parenting Teens: Talking to Your Kids About Sexting, Drinking, Drugs, and Other Things That Freak You Out.” (AMACOM). Geltman offers her “Top Ten Parenting Tips.” n Encourage teens to think independently. Restrain yourself from being chief problem solver, so they can make good choices even when you’re not around. n Try not to ask a zillion questions. You won’t get the answers

you want anyway. Engage them in a conversation on a neutral topic before you start the interrogation. n Refrain from going on the “lecture circuit.” Model what it means to be a good person so you don’t need to tell them. They will “get it.” n As uncomfortable as it may be, you have to talk about sex. Do it with honesty, and understanding, not judgment. n When it comes to alcohol and drugs, make your house safe. Again, have honest discussions, sans judgment. n Don’t rule with an iron fist. This may have worked when the kids were younger, but teens need to be part of the rule making. Most kids are actually pretty reasonable when given the opportunity to have some control. n With their input, set limits with phones, computers and video games. Just like you let them eat only a few pieces of Halloween

candy a night when they were younger, you need to see these devices in the same way. n Express your appreciation and pride in your teens. Not for the good test scores or grades necessarily, but for moments of kindness and hard work. n Find some fun with your teen. Hang out, watch TV, order pizza, go to the driving range, play a video game, listen to music, go get manis and pedis, bake a cake, take the dog for a walk, go shopping -- anything that may give you a moment, maybe just a moment, of sweetness with your kid. More parenting insights and information about the book can be found at http://joanigeltman.com/. When it comes to teenagers, the stakes can be high, with scary, emotional and even legal consequences. By being open and receptive, you can help navigate these treacherous waters.

coccal vaccination, something that is currently not required. For school entrance, students must show proof of diphtheria, pertussis, tetanus, polio, measles, mumps, rubella, haemophilus influenza type b, hepatitis b, varicella and pneumococcal (depending on age) vaccinations.

How to start babies on solid foods A study by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's Division of Nutrition, Physical Activity and Obesity surveyed 1,334 women before they gave birth, and nearly every month during the first year of the child's life. Mothers were asked to report feeding habits. Forty percent of mothers gave their babies solid foods prior to age four months. The most common reason for giving the food was the mothers believed the baby was old enough to begin eating solid foods. Mothers also said that the baby seemed hungry a lot and was not satiated by breast milk or formula alone. More than 50 percent of mothers in the study responded that a doctor told them the baby could start solid food before four months old. Children who are introduced to solid foods too early may not be developmentally ready to accept these foods. Studies also have linked the early introduction of solid foods with an increased risk of chronic diseases, such as obesity and eczema, later in life. Babies also may not be physically able to move their tongues and swallow properly to handle solid foods. Here are some guidelines for knowing when and how to introduce solid foods to a baby's diet. n Adhere to the recommended guidelines. Breast milk and formula are nutritionally sound food sources for growing babies. Introducing complementary foods too early can lead to nutrient deficiency. n Begin with one food at a time. Most pediatricians recommend starting out with iron-fortified cereals as the first solid foods because they're least likely to cause an allergic reaction. These cereals can be diluted with milk or formula to make them more palatable. Others prefer to start with an iron-rich vegetable. Good starter vegetables include sweet potatoes, squash and peas. Before adding any more solid foods, stick with the initial food for at least one week or more to determine if the child can tolerate the food. n Pay attention for signs of allergies. Rashes, wheezing, gas, fussiness, vomiting, and diarrhea could be indicative of a food allergy. Wait until your baby is at least one year of age before introducing foods that commonly cause allergies, including citrus foods, shellfish, nuts, and egg whites. Introducing solid foods to infants should only be done when the child is developmentally ready. M

Puddings Ice cream Cakes Greek yogurt

Brownies Pies Parfaits S’mores

Chocolate Cracker Jack ® Tin Roof Sundae

Sauce: 1 can (12 ounces) evaporated milk 1 cup sugar 1 tablespoon light corn syrup 1/8 teaspoon salt 2/3 cup peanut butter 3 tablespoons butter 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract Sundae: 1/2 gallon fudge-ripple, vanilla or chocolate ice cream 1 cup chocolate-covered peanuts 1 bag (4 ounces) Cracker Jack Chocolate & Caramel Popcorn To make sauce, combine evaporated milk, sugar, corn syrup and salt in medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring frequently. Simmer until thickened, 10 to 12 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent scorching. Remove sauce from heat. Whisk in peanut butter, butter and vanilla until smooth. Let cool for 30 minutes before assembling sundaes. In individual serving glasses, layer ice cream, chocolate-covered peanuts, Cracker Jack snacks and peanut butter sauce in two or three layers. Serve immediately.

Potatoes: 1/2 cup milk 1/4 cup sugar 4 tablespoons butter, melted 2 eggs 2 teaspoons vanilla extract 1 teaspoon salt 5 cups mashed cooked sweet potatoes (about 6 large sweet potatoes or one 40-ounce can of canned drained sweet potatoes, plus one 29-ounce can) 1 cup fresh pineapple, diced Streusel: 1/2 cup all-purpose flour 1/3 cup sugar 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon 4 tablespoons butter, cold, cubed 4 strips bacon, cooked, crumbled 2 cups Cracker Jack Original Caramel Coated Popcorn and Peanuts snacks 1 cup miniature marshmallows To make potatoes, preheat oven to 375°F. Coat 3-quart oven safe casserole dish with nonstick spray. In large mixing bowl, whisk milk, sugar, melted butter, eggs, vanilla and salt together. Add mashed sweet potatoes and pineapple and stir until well-combined. Transfer sweet potato mixture to prepared casserole dish. To make streusel, whisk together flour, sugar, salt and cinnamon in medium mixing bowl. Cut in butter using pastry blender or two knives until coarse crumbs form. Add crumbled bacon and sprinkle streusel mixture over potatoes. Bake until potatoes are hot and streusel is crisp and golden, 45 to 55 minutes. Top potatoes with the Cracker Jack snacks and marshmallows and return to oven until marshmallows are lightly browned, about 3 minutes.

Cracker Jack ® Ice Cream Sandwiches

Yield: 15 sandwiches 3 1/4 cups all-purpose flour 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice 1 teaspoon baking soda 1 teaspoon salt 3/4 cup brown sugar, packed 1/2 cup butter, room temperature 1/4 cup vegetable shortening 1 egg 3/4 cup molasses 3/4 cup buttermilk 3 cups Cracker Jack Original Caramel Coated Popcorn and Peanuts snacks 1/2 gallon vanilla, cinnamon, maple, or caramel swirl ice cream, softened Preheat oven to 350°F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper. In mixing bowl, whisk together flour, pie spice, baking soda and salt. In large mixing bowl, cream together brown sugar, butter and shortening until light and fluffy. Add egg, beat until incorporated, then blend in molasses and buttermilk. Mix dry ingredients into butter mixture. Fold in Cracker Jack snacks. Scoop about 3 tablespoons of dough for each cookie onto prepared baking sheets, spacing 2 inches apart. Bake until cookies are set, 10 to 12 minutes. Do not over bake. Cool cookies on baking sheet for few minutes, then transfer to rack to cool completely. Assemble sandwiches by scooping about 1/4 cup ice cream onto bottom of cookie. Top with second cookie, sandwiching gently so ice cream spreads to edges. Serve immediately or wrap in plastic and freeze until firm.

SPORTS Jersey teams sweep Senior Night meet C10

Wednesday, April 30, 2014 Jerseyville, Illinois

SAM ELLIOTT Jersey County Journal Four days after the Jersey Community High School girls 4x200-meter relay team set a new JCHS record, the Panthers and Lady Panthers track and field teams closed out the home portion of their 2014 spring season by sweeping a three-team meet on Senior Night Tuesday at the Don Snyders Sports Complex. Both Jersey's male and female squads placed fourth at the Glenwood Titan Invitational Friday in Chatham. The Panthers tallied 70 points behind champion Glenwood (153 points), Taylorville (100.5) and Springfield Southeast (87). The Lady Panthers totaled 63.33 points to finish fourth behind winner Springfield (168 points), Glenwood (94) and Effingham (68). The Lady Panthers' 4x200-meter relay team of junior Ellen Snyders, little sister freshman Anne Snyders, cousin Caroline Crawford and freshman Kiara Chapman set a new school record by finishing second in 1 minute, 50.66 seconds. "They've had a great time getting [personal records] and pushing each other in it," Lady Sam Elliott/Jersey County Journal

Claire Walsh clears the high jump bar during a three-team meet Tuesday at the Don Snyders Sports Complex. Walsh finished second, clearing 4 feet, 10 inches, just behind teammate Mary Claire Davis, who leapt 5 feet, 2 inches.

Panthers head coach Megan Taake said. "One of them might have an off day, but the others pick up for it." The Lady Panthers swept the four relay events Tuesday and collected nine wins in 13 individual events. They collected 101 points while West Central was closest in second with 55 points and Carrollton had 18. Senior Mary Claire Davis won the high jump by going 5 feet, 2 inches, and the triple jump by clearing 30 feet, 7 inches. Hannah Goshorn was second in the triple jump (29 feet, 8 inches) while Claire Walsh was runner-up in the high jump (4 feet, 10 inches). Junior Sydney Jones went 16 feet, 8 inches, to win the long jump, an event in which Anne Snyders finished second (15 feet, 2 inches). "The jumps always come through for us," Taake said. "Mary Claire Davis is usually first or second guaranteed in high jump and then she steps up and triple jumps for the first time ever and is placing consistently in it. She’s done it for three or four meets now. She just stepped up and jumped 31 or 32 feet. That’s been wonderful." The Jersey boys collected 88 points to win while Carrollton was second with 55 points and West Central was third with 25 Tuesday. The Panthers swept the four relays and won six individual events. Kyle Walsh won in both the 110-meter hurdles (11.6 seconds) and 300-meter hurdles (45.7 seconds). "His 300 times are coming

down," Panthers head coach Harold Landon said. "He's basically matching his times from the end of the year last year. Now hopefully — we've still got another month or so to go — those times will keep coming down. We're really hoping he breaks that 40-second mark in the 300 hurdles." Nathan Scott won the long jump after going 18 feet, 6.5 inches, Devin Outman won the 100 meters in 11.6 seconds, Tim Lacy won the 400 meters in 55.4 seconds and Matt Wendell won the 1,600 meters in 5:02.6 seconds. A.J. Staples placed second in both the shot put (40 feet, 6.25 inches) and discus (130 feet, 3 inches) Tuesday, continuing his strong season. "He’s been throwing the discus really good," Landon said. "He threw it over 130 feet at the Carlinville Relays, too. That’s his best. He just carried it over to Chatham and that was probably his best day for shot put and discus combined. He got fourth place in the shot and put together two good quality events. That was a real big plus." Staples' 129-foot, 2-inch throw Saturday in Chatham was good enough to win that event at that meet. Freshman Ben Flowers added second-place finished there in both the 800 meters (2:03.99) and 1600 (4:41.38). "That 800 time was really — again, I’ve been saying this a lot — but that was the fastest freshman time I’ve ever had," Landon said. selliott@campbellpublications.net

Big tourneys give Panthers Hat trick leads JCHS experience down stretch

Mike Weaver/Jersey County Journal

The Jersey Community High School boys tennis team has collected plenty of experience at big tournaments this season. The Panthers finished seventh out of 16 teams at the annual Springfield Tournament Saturday in Springfield. Alex Goldacker placed third in the No. 5 singles bracket to lead Jersey's singles efforts. "We’ll take points anywhere we can get them, but everybody played really well," JCHS head coach Dan Diamond said. "In doubles, everybody won at least a couple matches and we played really good competition." Brendan Goldacker and Grant

Fry went 2-2 in No. 1 doubles, Gary Watson and Walter Becker compiled a 3-1 record at No. 2 doubles and the No. 3 doubles pairing of Alex Goldacker and Alex Roth went 1-2. "When you play in those tournament formats where everybody gets in there winning matches, it helps the team out," Diamond said. The Panthers faced Quincy Notre Dame Wednesday in Quincy, but results were not available at press time. Jersey will be among the teams playing at the annual Tiger Duals Friday and Saturday in Edwardsville.

Lady Panthers junior Robyn Johnson carries the ball down the field earlier this season at Jersey Community High School. Johnson tallied a hat trick with three goals as Jersey beat Gillespie 6-0 Friday at JCHS. "It was nice to get a result like this," head coach Brad Kimble said. "We've struggled through injuries and have not had solid performances against our conference teams. This game gave us some confidence as we return to conference play. We had a very solid performance from Robyn Johnson. She's new to our program and her skill set is a definite asset to our team. She just makes everyone around her better." Senior Maria Scharth added two goals and junior Mallory Deist tallied the first of her career. After Waterloo won a 9-0 Mississippi Valley Conference decision Monday, the Lady Panthers beat Carlinville 3-2 Tuesday at JCHS to improve to 3-7-1 overall. Freshman Hailea Tepen scored twice and senior Courtney Carpunky totaled three assists in the victory. Jersey continues conference play at 4:15 p.m. Monday at Waterloo High School. michaelrweaver.com

By playing in as many large tournaments as the Panthers have, they've gained valuable experience for their non-tournament matches. "It’s absolutely paying off," Diamond said. "By playing that better competition, it especially helps us whenever we play a regular conference match and some of our non-conference teams we face. "It's tough with the MVC being really good," Diamond added. "Playing those bigger tournaments and playing kids we don't see all the time, the kids don't have any expectations about who they're playing. We just keep getting better every tournament."

JERSEYVILLE MANOR AWARDS

Sam Elliott/Jersey County Journal

Panthers junior Hunter Bryant slides into third base against Edwardsville Friday at the Don Snyders Sports Complex. Bryant came home to score after an error on the catch to give the Jersey Community High School baseball team a 1-0 lead in the fourth inning, but the Panthers were edged 11-1 in six innings. Jersey bounced back to win its first Mississippi Valley Conference game of the season by beating Triad 15-4 in five innings Monday in Troy. Junior Jacob Varble earned the pitching win for the Panthers, allowing eight hits and four runs, one earned, with four strikeouts and no walks. Varble, Kyle Obertino and Kyle Steckel each drove home two runs to lead the Panthers (15-7, 1-4 MVC). selliott@campbellpublications.net
