State gives recognition School board to lifeguards for deed rearranges Grafton By BOB CROSSEN Jersey County Journal Three lifeguards who saved the life of a 4-year-old boy at Donor Pool in early-August 2013 were recognized by the state’s Illinois Department of Public Health during a Jersey Community Hospital EMS cookout Wednesday. On Aug. 3, 2013, Sydney Brangenberg, Kali DeSherlia and Brody Hagen pulled Dominique Farris, who was unresponsive, from the pool and administered CPR to revive and stabilize him until emergency services made it to the scene. The three were recognized by the American Red Cross and St. Louis television station KSDK in March at the third annual Lifesaver Awards Breakfast. DeSherlia said the attention paid to the three lifeguards’ action can get overwhelming at times, but she said the recognition is a continued affirmation that their deed was heroic. “It’s kind of overwhelming. I

know a girl who worked at the pool a few years back and she didn’t get near as much as we’re getting,” DeSherlia said. “It’s unbelievable that everyone is so impressed with what we did.” Hagen said he thought he and his fellow life guards would get a pat on the back for their effort in saving the life of Farris, adding the continued exposure is unexpected. “I just didn’t expect it at all,” Hagen said. “Now we’re getting a bunch of awards. It’s nice and makes you feel good about yourself because it really makes you think about what you did to save a life.” Brangenberg shared a similar sentiment to Hagen, but said the recognition from the state and American Red Cross put the ordeal in persepective. “It’s crazy. That’s for sure,” Brangenberg said. “It feels nice to be recognized, but we were just doing our jobs.” The boy was retrieved from the bottom of the pool by Hagen who (See, recognized, A2)

Elementary boundary By BOB CROSSEN Jersey County Journal The Jersey Community Unit School District board approved a change to the Grafton Elementary School boundaries to create class size parity across the district. The board also approved hazardous route changes and updates that will save approximately $50,000 in costs. Between the boundary change and hazardous routes, the district will save around $95,000 annually in transportation costs. Board members Ruth Eschbach and Ed Test did not vote because they were not present at the meeting, but all other board members approved the measure with the exception of Bill Yamnitz who voted No.

Yamntiz recalled the impact closing Fieldon Elementary School had on the town. He questioned why parents don’t have a choice in which school their students attends, noting it seems like the parents are at the mercy of the school board. “It’s not important to us or to you that you go to school close to where you live. We’ve got to bus you to town because we’re going to save some money somehow,” Yamnitz said. “That stinks.” Board Vice President Julie Pohlman, acting as board president in Test’s stead, said the decision doesn’t account for the impact on a single family, but rather is one that is intended to be the best for all of the district’s families. “We have the burden of this (See, Boundry, A2)

By BOB CROSSEN Jersey County Journal The pursuit to place Property Tax Extension Limitation Law on the November ballot is still in full force, despite a vote by the county board against putting the issue up for a public vote. Petitions have circulated around the county seeking signatures from residents who want an opportunity to vote on PTELL this November. Speaking during a regular meeting of the Jersey County Board May 13, Vicky Gross, Jersey County resident, said there are already approximately 900 signatures to place the issue on the ballot. Reading from a written statement, she said there are many taxpayers who do not agree with the committee’s findings and want an opportunity to show their stance. “Our fellow residents have expressed that only a select group made this decision and they believe their opinions were not heard,” Gross said. “What is also disturbing is that three of the committee members selected to serve and give their opinion do not live in Jersey County.” The Jersey County Board voted against the referendum in a 7-to-5 vote after a recommendation from the Jersey County Tax Study Group (JTCSG) – a committee appointed by the county board – to not put the issue up for a vote. The three members of the committee who are not Jersey County residents represent counties that have adopted PTELL, such as Macoupin and Greene. All five of the Jersey County Board’s Republicans voted in favor of placing it on the ballot while every Democrat on the board dissented. Originally created for the Chicago collar counties, PTELL was used as a way to slow the growth of property tax revenues to taxing districts when the property values were ris-

ing quicker than the rate of inflation. According to a manual regarding PTELL issued by the Illinois Department of Revenue, “an individual tax bill may increase more than the PTELL limit,” meaning passage of PTELL does not guarantee taxes will be controlled for all property owners due to assessment of the property. Under PTELL, taxing bodies would not be able to raise taxes more than five percent or the rate of inflation, whichever is lower, without first consulting the public during a vote. Inflation is defined by the Consumer Price Index (CPI) which has been at 1 percent or less in recent years. Gross said the voters should have a greater input into how their tax dollars are being spent by local government. “It would be so much better if we had taxing bodies budgeting their spending and showing discipline, therefore the only other solution is to let the citizens who are paying the taxes have a stronger voice,” Gross said. “Jersey County voters need to decide if PTELL is good for Jersey County.” Petitions have not been the only means by which people have been campaigning to put PTELL on the November ballot, however. County board member Roger Newberry distributed a letter to some residents in early May regarding the county board’s decision on the issue. The letter indicates a vote for Wayne Schell or Don LIttle – two Democrats running for county board in November – is a vote against PTELL as they would not support placing it on the ballot. “We can’t loose [sic] another chance for the citizens to vote on this,” Newberry wrote in his letter. “When you go to the Polls in November, please keep the importance of PTELL in mind when casting your vote for the County Board.”

Illini hosts health fair for students, by students By ROBERT LYONS Jersey County Journal A large group of high school students took up the task of educating their younger counterparts on living a healthy life. More than 100 Jersey Community High School students helped organize a health fair for fifth graders at Illini Middle School

“We saw an opportunity to keep it going, and we dipped down to the fifth graders because the sixth graders do have the DARE program, at least.”

Scott Burney Health Instructor Thursday, May 15. Around 100 of Scott Burney’s health students and another 25 of Bryan Brown’s driver’s ed students created exhibits to entertain and inform the younger students on several health topics. Burney said there was an annual health fair for sixth graders, but it did not take place this year. “We saw an opportunity to keep it going, and we dipped down to the fifth graders because the sixth graders do have the DARE program, at least,” Burney said.

Fifth grader Trent Crotchett said his favorite part of the health fair was jumping rope at the fitness for life exhibit. High school student Nick Reynolds, who helped put together the fitness for life display, said teaching children about taking care of themselves is important. “They’re young and you have to make an impression on them while they’re young so they know to exercise,” Reynolds said. “It’s not just about eating healthy, but exercising every day to stay strong, especially if you want to go into high school sports.” In addition to jumping rope, visitors to Reynolds’ exhibit could race each other for a piece of candy. He said encouraging children to get at least 60 minutes of activity each day was the central message the exhibit was trying to convey. “Nowadays kids are eating more fast food and not being as healthy, and we’re trying to make them healthier by teaching them how to do this,” Dylan Torrey, who also worked on the fitness for life exhibit, said. Other stations covered topics such as cardiopulmonary resuscitation training, how to say "No," good character traits, proper nutrition and the negative effects of tobacco, drugs and alcohol. “We’re just trying to give them a little bit of information on each one of them,” Burney said, noting many of the exhibits stressed the importance of refraining from using harmful substances. “Unfortunately, some of these kids are exposed to these things before (See, heAlth fAir, A2)

per day for busing. Altogether, busing students costs around $130,000 annually for the district, and that amount is approximately the same that has been cut by state funding. The boundary shift takes into account the cuts to teachers made in March along with the retirement of other personnel. It reduces the number of section for each grade level at Grafton Elementary School to one section from two, meaning there will be a single teacher for each grade level at the Grafton school. Jerseyville’s elementary schools will increase by one section for each grade level to accommodate the increase in students who last year would have attended Grafton. With more teachers in Jerseyville, the class sizes will drop while the Grafton ones would increase, creating parity between the two schools. Superintendent Lori Hopkins said the board had discussions about closing Grafton Elementary School altogether, but found doing so would be an even greater financial burden than keeping it open. “It doesn’t make sense to close Grafton,” Hopkins said. “What we’re looking at is operational costs, and the operational costs do not even come close to equaling what it’s going to take to bring every kid in [to Jerseyville].” Hopkins said the change opens an opportunity for the district to market Grafton Elementary to bring more people to the area, buy homes in Grafton and improve the county’s population. “The last thing that we need to

do is close a brand new building,” Hopkins said. “I just think we need to market it and fill it up.” In other business, the school board: n Accepted resignations of John Cooper, JCHS English teacher; Julie Breden, student council sponsor; and Heather Dohrn, class of 2018 sponsor, effective June 5, 2014. n Approved the employment of coaches for fall and winter sports for the 2014 and 2015 school year. n Approved employment of Jason Brunaugh as Illini Middle School principal; Dan Diamond as Illini Middle School dean of students, Christina Vice as an East Elementary school teacher; David Golike as a JCHS special education teacher; Marsha Erwin, Stacey Kuebrich and Nashona Staples as special education extended school year teachers; and Kristie Hurley as a special education extended school year speechlanguage pathologist. n Approved the Riso ink and Riso masters bid in the amount of $6,848, the P.E. equipment bid for $1,667, and a bid for Illini Middle School’s gym floor from Designs Unlimited for $14,425. n Renewed a lease to rent Dow Elementary School to Dow Baptist Church. n Approved the purchase of two 29-passenger buses for $10,147 for a five-year lease to own and one 21-passenger bus for $10,703 for a five-year lease to own. Bids approved were from Southern Bus and Mobility.

(Continued from A1) they would be educated on it through the DARE program.” At the CPR station, there was both an adult-sized and child-sized dummy on which to practice. Megan Kovar, one of three students giving CPR demonstrations, said the information at the health fair could be life-saving. “It’s important so they know what to do, because they don’t have health class,” Kovar said. “They have younger siblings at home, and if their parents aren’t home, they’ll know what to do.” Burney said he’s proud of the time and effort the JCHS students put in to help educate the younger children. “I believe some of these kids probably have about 20 hours in their projects,” Burney said. “Some of them spent some of their own money for prizes for their booths.”

In all, the health fair may have left a lasting impression on both generations of students. “I learned you can live with one lung,” Trent Crotchett said. A majority of the stations featured the high schooler’s work, however other local organizations were also in attendance. By choosing to hold the event at Illini instead of the Jerseyville Recreation Center, where it had been hosted in the past, there wasn’t a need for transportation, which negated much of the cost of holding the health fair. “We also have some community members – the 911, WellSpring, the American Red Cross is here and the Health Department has a couple of stations – so, we have some involvement from the high school and from the community,” Burney said

going to have a public investigation, not just in the school, but it’s going to extend into the crypt and into the cemetery, too.” The investigation will begin at 7 p.m. and conclude at midnight. In addition to learning about the history of Hamilton Primary School, those taking part in the public investigation will take part in the hunt for paranormal activity. “We will show them how a real paranormal investigation is ran,” Bertel said. “We’ll show them the various equipment we use and how that works.” Bertel said BAPS utilizes K2 meters, which measure electromagnetic fields, infrared cameras and electronic. “It’s basically all the stuff you would see on the show ‘Ghost Hunters,’” he said. The money raised from the public investigation will be used by the Otter Creek Historical Society in its efforts to restore the school. Bertel said since the cost of admission – $40 per person – is going to benefit the preservation of history, the event could attract a wide variety of interests. “Some people are just interested and they’ve seen the various shows on TV, and they just kinda want to see it for themselves,” he said. “People who are from Alton – Alton is one of the most profoundly haunted areas in all of America – so you get people who grew up with that folklore and they want to be a part of it.” Wadlow said there are projects the Historical Society would like to complete, but hasn’t had the funds to do. She hopes Saturday’s event will raise money and membership for Otter Creek. “It’s mainly recognition and

people coming in to see the school, and seeing the desperate needs we have to repair it,” she said, noting the roof has needed painted for the past three years. Bertel said the typical public hunt draws both skeptics and believers in the paranormal. “You get some people who were

dragged there, who just want to go out with their friends,” Bertel said. “We’ve had some investigations where they’ve come out questioning their own beliefs. You get a whole wide variety of people.” Not everything that goes bump in the night is automatically assumed to be paranormal, Bertel said. But, there are several factors at the Hamilton location that have been associated with ghostly activity by paranormal researchers. “When activity comes up, we try to rule out various causes,” Bertel said. “There’s a gigantic generator right next to the school that has a lot of electricity going through it. There’s a lot of things right around the school that paranormal activity can harness its energy off of. Limestone is said to be one of those.” For more information, or to register for the investigation, call 314484-9472 or email bridgetonafterlifeparanormal@gmail.com

Lecture on Rocky Fork community May 22 Local educator and historian Jim Price will speak on “The Rocky Fork AME Church, the River as Road to Freedom” at Farley’s Music Hall, Elsah, on May 22 at 7:30 p.m. The lecture is the second in the HosmerWilliams Lecture Series for 2014, sponsored by Historic Elsah Foundation and underwritten in part by Liberty Bank, Godfrey. Refreshments will be served following the lecture. The Rocky Fork community was established in the 1830s and offered safe haven to freedom seekers, blacks fleeing the American south and free blacks looking for a community where they could support one another. This is the story of the Underground Railroad and the Missis-

sippi River as the road to freedom and the founding of the New Bethel AME (Rocky Fork) Church. The current Rocky Fork area is a National Underground Network to Freedom site. Lewis and Clark professor Jim Price was responsible for bringing together historians, local artists, and other scholars to explore the genealogy and heritage of the descendants of the Rocky Fork area in a comprehensive exhibit that closed recently at Lewis and Clark Community College. Price will tell the story of one of the region’s best kept “secrets” in words and pictures. The lecture is free and open to the public. Reservations are not required. Parking is available.

(Continued from A1) much money and this is what we have to do for all children,” Pohlman said. “I have to care in this seat about every child in this district, so the decisions that have been made haven’t been to hurt your child, or her child, or her child. The decisions have been made for what’s best collectively for all of them.” The reality is that the district cannot afford to let people choose which school they attend because of its financial situation, she added. Initially, the boundary included households as far west as Indian Lakes and as far north as Beaty Mound Road, but the new boundary is smaller and does not include those who live on Route 3. Corey Breden, transportation director and Illini Middle School principal, said he conducted months of research on how the district could save money on transportation. He said his goal was to find $100,000 in savings. In his presentation during a regular board meeting May 15, he showcased many ideas the board could implement to save money amounting to a total of $200,000 in savings. Ultimately, he said the recommendation to the board was approval of some – shifting Grafton Elementary School boundaries and approving hazardous routes – and a denial of others – eliminating busing within 1.5 miles of a school and forcing families to pay for bus rides. Based on data from the 2012-2013 school year, he said each student bused costs approximately $1.59

By ROBERT LyOnS Jersey County Journal On Saturday night, the search will be on for the unexplained at Hamilton Primary School. A Missouri-based paranormal investigation group is inviting the public to join them as they explore the Otterville property for possible clues that the past is not gone. Otter Creek Historical Society member Mary Ann Wadlow said in addition to hearing a story about a ghostly sighting at the school, she has had her own experience. “Gladys Drainer, the former president, she and I were in the basement one day and it was just the two of us,” Wadlow said. “The upstairs was locked, so we knew no one could come in the front door. Just all of sudden we heard someone walking across the floor up there. We both looked at each other and said ‘What was that?’” Mike Bertel, investigator with Bridgeton Afterlife Paranormal Society (BAPS), said his group had investigated Hamilton Primary School in November 2013 and found evidence of paranormal activity. “We found an apparition that was peeking around the doorway and a few EVPs (electronic voice phenomenon),” Bertel said. “A few of those EVPs were actually quite relevant to the history pertaining to the school.” He said BAPS was contacted by the Otter Creek Historical Society and asked to do a second event at Hamilton School. “We had a lot of fun going out there, the history of the school is just fantastic,” Bertel said. “We’re looking into going into different parts of the property, as well.

Relay for Life follows superhero theme By BoB Crossen Jersey County Journal This year’s Relay for Life is focused on a super hero theme to bring out the heroes in the community June 6 at Jersey Community High School. Kayla Frank, Jersey County Relay for Life event chair, said event organizers wanted to create a theme that would be fun for all participants, particularly the younger children who attend. “The kids are encouraged to wear their superhero outfits,” Frank said. “We just tried to come up with something fun for the kids that’s fun for everybody. We’re hoping everybody gets into the spirit, dresses up and comes for a fun night.” The Relay for Life event will take place at Jersey Community High School in Jerseyville from 5 p.m. to 12 a.m. June 6. Frank said the event length was cut down from last year’s event which went into the early morning because few people showed up in the hours after midnight. Some people felt obligated to stay for the whole night, she added, and with a narrower time slot, the hope is more people will come to participate. “We haven’t had a whole lot of people stick around all night, and we thought we’d get more teams and more

people involved if we made the cutoff,” Frank said, noting participants don’t have to stay at the event for the entire night. For the second year, Frank said the Jersey County Relay for Life will have a bounce house available for children in addition to the games and activities scheduled for the night. And for all of the fun had by those who attend, Frank said the money raised from the event goes on to help local cancer patients, noting that last year around 50 patients were aided with money raised at the event. The funds are used to transport patients to appointments, pay for wigs, or even as scholarships for cancer survivors. She said many of the services are intended to improve the quality of life of patients with cancer. According to the Relay for Life website, Jersey County’s chapter has raised $6,700 so far, and Frank said in addition to aiding local patients, money is also sent to research centers. For more information about Jersey County Relay for Life, visit relay.acsevents.org, where those interested in creating a team may still sign up. Donations may also be made through the website. Additional information may also be found on Facebook by searching Relay for Life of Jersey County.

Southwestern recognizes scholastic success By ToM BoTT For The Journal Members of the successful Middle School Scholastic Bowl team were recognized Tuesday by the Southwestern School Board. Scholastic Bowl Coach Camille Rinacke helped the board present Certificates of Achievement to students who competed on the Bowl team this season. Southwestern was the 2M Conference co-champions with Carlinville and they finished second in the Macoupin County Tournament. The high point for the team was a win at Carlinville over their conference rivals. The Scholastic Bowl team is Hannah Bell, Brianna Bland, Jonathon French, Matt Gerber, Jami Gwillim, Morgan Laramee, Andrew Miller, Carter Moore, Emmaly Rangsdale, Samantha Raymer, Jacob Simmons, Sydney Sinks, Lana Tutterow, Luke Tutterow, Bailey Weible, Tanner Werts and Brooklyn Wigger. “Good job, ladies and gentlemen. We expect good things from you for years to come,” Superintendent Brad Skertich said.

Medora Elementary School was also recognized at the meeting for being selected as one of 32 elementary schools in Illinois as a Spotlight School. Skertich said Medora Elementary Principal Diane Milner received a letter from State Superintendent Chris Koch notifying her of the 2013 Award. Medora is a double winner this year, winning both the Spotlight School and the Academic Improvement Award. The state recognizes schools with a high poverty rate that also perform well academically. The school will receive and display two banners recognizing the accomplishment. “At least half the students must be low income and made adequate yearly progress (AYP) the last two years,” Skertich said. “At least 60 percent of students met or exceeded state goals in reading and math and at least 50 percent met the goals in 2011 and 2012. I commend Mrs. Milner, the students and their parents for doing an outstanding job.” Southwestern High School Principal Mark Bearley recognized the work of the student government this year. The students held a volleyball tournament to raise money for St. Jude

Hospital and raised $500. The student government raised additional cash and sent an $800 check to the children’s hospital. “They worked to improve the school, the community and outside the community,” Bearley said. “The student government set up meetings to talk about how they can help the student body. I am very proud of them.” Bearley also recognized the high school Scholastic Bowl team for finishing in 11th place in the National Finals held in Minneapolis. In other business, the board voted to allow Roxana to leave the Region III Special Education Cooperative. Skertich said the Southwestern District paid $42,800 to be a member of Region III this year. Roxana is providing special ed programs in-house, Skertich said, so it no longer feels the expense is warranted. Skertich said the Region III Board expects the fee to actually go down after Roxana leaves in two years. The board approved the employment of Chris Redfern as high school junior varsity boys basketball coach for 2014-15 and Derek Dempsey as 7th grade volleyball coach.

Elsah resident serving aboard Navy’s newest amphibious assault ship A graduate of Gulf Coast High School is serving in the U.S. Navy as part of a hand-selected crew charged with bringing the Navy’s newest and most advanced amphibious assault ship into service. Seaman Apprentice Abigail Leopold, from Elsah, is serving aboard the amphibious assault ship America in Pascagoula, Miss. America is the first ship of its class and was turned over to the Navy during a custody transfer ceremony, April 10. After the ship is certified and sea trials are complete, the ship will be placed into commission as USS America and will be homeported in San Diego. Leopold and the rest of the 1,000-person crew are slowly bringing the ship to life, overseeing construction, testing new equipment, training on new systems and testing the ship at sea. The crew will eventually grow to more than 1,100 Sailors and nearly 1,900 embarked Marines when the ship is at sea. America is 844 feet long, 106 feet wide and weighs nearly 45,000 tons. The ship has twin gas-turbine engines that push the ship through the water at more than 22 knots. As one of the Sailors who will commission the ship, Leopold is getting a firsthand look at the improvements the Navy has incorporated into the design of the ship: a more fuel-efficient gas turbine propulsion plant, increased capacity for aviation operations, advanced weapons systems, and sophisticated electronics and communications suites. America Sailors know they are building a legacy that will last beyond their lifetimes. Leopold said it is an exciting time to be in the Navy and helping to build a crew and a ship from scratch is something she never expected to be doing just a couple years ago. The 19-year-old Sailor realizes the historical value of what it means to not only be selected to be part of a commissioning crew but to help commission a ship named after her country. “I feel really proud to be part of this crew,” said Leopold. “I’ve gone underway with several other ships, and I really feel that our crew has an unparalleled amount of pride and commitment, not only to the mission, but to each other. I’m really fortunate that I was selected for these orders.” Leopold said she is honored to be a part of the America commissioning crew and thankful for the chance to do something she loves. “One thing that I really love about my job working as a boatswain’s mate is how diverse the job is,” said

Leopold. “I really like the challenge of learning all of the different tech manuals we have. So many parts of this job are things that I never thought I would learn about prior to joining the Navy.” In addition to being a plankowner, Leopold was recently selected as “Blue Jacket of the Quarter.” This program recognizes the outstanding performance of an E-1 to E-3 Sailor each quarter. “Being selected as Blue Jacket of the Quarter is a great honor, because there are so many other deserving candidates here,” she said. “I was really nervous during the board, and after I was finished I felt really relieved because I felt like I did pretty well. I’ve worked really hard over the past year, and it’s really gratifying and humbling to be recognized at this level.” Chief Boatswain’s Mate Phuc Bui, Deck Department 2nd Division leading chief petty officer, and Leopold’s supervisor, explained that being selected as the Bluejacket of the Quarter is no easy task. There is a lot of competition for Blue Jacket of the Quarter,” said Bui. The competition is fierce Navywide, but when you take in account that being assigned to a [ship under construction] is considered a special duty, it ups the ante quite a bit.” Bui said he believes Leopold is a special Sailor who will do many great things in the future. “Seaman Apprentice Leopold is a role model Sailor that only happens once a decade,” he said. “She’s the

type of Sailor others will emulate and tell stories of to motivate others. She is a direct and accurate representation of what America Sailors should strive to be like.” As the commanding officer of future USS America, Capt. Robert A. Hall, Jr., wants to recognize Sailors who are setting the resilient foundation for the nation’s newest amphibious warship. “As the fourth U.S. Navy ship to bear the name ‘America’, we have the opportunity to build this command with the ideals of our namesake,” said Hall. “America’s Sailors and Marines demonstrate the Navy’s core values every day through their training and initiative, and I am proud to have a crew of this caliber.” The America class of amphibious assault ships replaces the aging Tarawa class. Its design enables it to carry a larger and more diverse complement of aircraft, including the tilt-rotor MV-22 Osprey, the new Joint Strike Fighter, and a mix of cargo and assault helicopters. America will be able to support a wide spectrum of military operations and missions, including putting Marines ashore for combat operations, launching air strikes, keeping sea lanes free and open for the movement of global commerce, and delivering humanitarian aid following a disaster like the typhoon that devastated the Philippines in 2013.

County’s best interest the casualty of internal war

Publisher and Editor: Julie Boren

The Issue: Divisive tactics continue to plague county. Our View: No one stands to benefit.

publisher@campbellpublications.net

Regional Editor: Robert Lyons

here’s clearly a battle raging in Jersey County.

The result of this battle will either keep Jersey County on the track to being one of the more attractive locations to live and raise a family – in line with places like Edwardsville or Glen Carbon – or we will begin heading toward becoming a less desirable destination, like Granite City or East Alton. One of the biggest fights involves our school district, and is now being played out mostly on the floor of the county board meeting room. Despite being voted down, there is still a push to have the Property Tax Extension Limitation Law (PTELL) put on the ballot. The voters in Jersey County already voted down a three-quarters of a percent sales tax, which would have helped the schools. With the consistent slashes in state and federal funding to all districts, the unfortunate truth is our schools must turn to the taxpayers to maintain the quality our children deserve. Though PTELL will certainly effect more than just education, as the collector of the most property tax money, our schools – thus our children – will suffer the most. The methods used to advance the mission of tearing the county apart are distasteful and, according to information from the state’s attorneys office, maybe even illegal. Tea Party members pushing for PTELL are canvassing churches and restaurants with their petition, telling people how great PTELL is and then asking for signatures. Proponents allegedly distributed information doorto-door two weeks ago, placing information – urging citizens to support PTELL and not vote for two particular candidates – in mailboxes without paying postage, which is a fineable offense. The county residents are being embarrassed by their local representatives. Using the board meetings as their stage to grandstand and berate their political opponents, the Republicans on the board putting the county’s best interest in front of their own agendas is something they simply will not do. One of the county board members, John Houseman, insulted a business owner and community leader who was in attendance at last week’s meeting. There have been other flare-ups that have been non-beneficial for our community, including groups waging war with the city of Jerseyville to protect their “right” to keep properties in any shape they choose, which has often included being dirty, dilapidated, unsafe and an eyesore for residents and visitors. But, lately the fight has kept coming back to money. We’ve said it before, but it’s worth repeating: no one wants to see their property taxes go up. Your local government is not made up of career politicians. These are people, for the most part, who were born and raised here. Their primary concern is maintaining quality for this and future generations. If any of the Democrats have ulterior motives, as has been alluded to, we’re not sure what they might be. All of this internal fighting is going to have an effect opposite of its intended purpose. When families or business owners only hear of the negativity emanating from our county, those considering coming here will think otherwise. Those who are here will be more likely to leave. That will only increase further the tax burden on the residents.

Can any president really claim a mandate? In the last presidential election—2012—the population of the United States was 320 million. Of our population, 239 million were eligible to vote—74.7 percent of the population. Voters must be at least 18 years of age. Of those who are eligible, 197 million were registered to vote; 82.43 precent of eligible voters are registered. Of the registered voters, 126 million voted in 2012; 63.96 percent of those who are registered actually voted. Of those who voted, 69 million—54.67 percent - voted to re-elect President Obama. So, in 2012, the President of the United States received about 55 percent of the votes cast, from 35 percent of those registered to vote, out of almost 29 percent of those eligible to vote, representing 21.56 percent of the legal population of the United States. Even if a candidate received 100 percent of the votes cast (likely only in Russia or Chicago), that person would only represent 39 percent of the American people. How can we get more people to vote for the winner? We should find the candidate, the party and the policies that have the greatest support. We can run really slick effective advertising campaigns. How can we get more people to vote? Research indicates that voting rates go up as the result of three factors. First, the election is close, so that citizens are interested in participating. Second, the candidates and their policies are different, so citizens see there is a real choice. And third, citizens believe that their vote really matters.

This is called efficacy. Simply put, if we vote for the candidate who pledges to fill the potholes, the potholes will get filled. People don’t vote when the “costs” are too high. Bad weather is a simple example. It becomes too difficult or too uncomfortable to make the effort. Other costs include transportation, such as lack of public transport. This is why political parties often provide rides to voters. Other costs include too few or distant polling places and too short of hours (causing voters to miss work). Sometimes, the cost is the difficulty of learning about the candidates and what they really represent. Early voting, including Saturday voting, voting by mail, and in some places electronic voting, are attempts to make it easier—to reduce the “cost” of voting. Some have suggested making Election Day a holiday. Australia has mandatory voting, in which failure to vote results in fines. To vote, citizens must be registered. How do we get more people registered? That has been a traditional activity of the political parties—registration drives. The federal “motor-voter” law, which allowed citizens to register to vote, in federal elections, when obtaining or renewing a driver’s license is an example of making it easier to register. Unfortunately, driver license offices are not equipped to register citizens for local voting, which covers many different jurisdictions—county, city, township, fire protection district, school district, sewer district, community college district, library district, etc. Finally, how do we get more citizens eligible to vote? First, we need

more citizens. Guest Over our history, Column this has occurred through immiBY JOHN gration. We litWILLIAMS erally increased the population of the United States. Second, the constitutional history of the United States has been the expanded enfranchisement of Americans. The first American voters were white men of privilege. The Civil War and the 13th Amendment expanded voting to all men, regardless of race. The 19th Amendment expanded voting to women. Other changes eliminated the poll tax, effectively allowing poor people as well as rich people to vote, and eliminated literacy tests. The last major enfranchisement was the 26th Amendment which lowered the voting age to 18. Unfortunately, while these changes expanded the number of Americans eligible to vote, the changes did not dramatically increase actual registration and voting. As a result, with more possible voters who did not vote, the voting rates have been declining. The counter argument to all of this is that more voters does not mean better informed voters. As we figure out how to motivate Americans to exercise their fundamental privilege to vote in an informed manner, we can warn all of our elected officials—nobody really has a mandate! –––––––––––––––––––––––––––– n John Williams is a professor of

Plant seeds of spirituality – harvest better health I

t’s planting time in Illinois! From rural farms to suburban backyards to high-rise city pots, it’s time to plant those seeds. But there is another kind of planting you can do. Consider planting more spirituality in your life. Why? For one reason, spirituality has many health benefits. A Johns Hopkins Health Alert stated, “A growing body of research suggests that religion and spirituality may help some people better cope with illness, depression and stress.” These questions come naturally to thought: 1) What are some seeds of spirituality? 2) How do we plant them? 3) Do we need to watch out for anything? 4) What can we expect to harvest? Spirituality has many definitions. Physician and author Dr. Dean Ornish wrote, “When I use the word spirituality,…I mean whatever it is that helps you feel connected to something that is larger than yourself.” Others reference it as connected to the sacred or a higher power.

To me, a practical outcome of that connection to a higher power, involves finding divine attitudes that benefit humanity – for instance, forgiveness, love, compassion and unselfishness. These are some of the seeds of spirituality. Just as vegetable seeds need good soil, so we need to nurture our spirituality. “In the soil of ‘an honest and good heart’ the seed must be sown; else it beareth not much fruit, for the swinish element in human nature uproots it,” wrote Christian healer Mary Baker Eddy. If we are sincere in our intent, our spirituality grows. And, our mental, moral and physical wholeness improves. Every gardener knows that weeds can choke out good plants. The tendency to be angry, impatient, vengeful and irritated are all “weed attitudes” that need to be pulled out of one’s thinking. We can realize that there is a divine power behind the living of our spirituality that enables us to overcome habits of thought that lead to illness.

Studies have Guest shown the benefits of spirituColumn ality in treating BY TIM cancer, heart disease, sub- MITCHINSON stance abuse, as well as other physical and psychiatric ailments. Yet, we have known for a long time that this was the case - Jesus, the most effective healer on record to date, identified keeping our thinking focused on the Divine and goodness as a way to combat even the most terminal diseases. Plant some spirituality in your life, cultivate it and watch for a harvest of health.

TO THE EDITOR: It’s budget time in Springfield. The decisions legislators will make in the next weeks will have a direct and profound impact on the lives of hundreds of thousands of everyday Illinoisans. More than most, we will see the impact, whether it be positive or negative, first hand. We work for WellSpring Resources. We serve more than 6,000 children, adults and families each year in Madison, Jersey, Calhoun and Greene counties through services for mental health and substance abuse conditions. Our work is a fiscally-sound investment. Many of the systems that will be affected by these cuts provide vital community-based services to vulnerable people of all ages. These services are far less expensive than alternatives such as jail, prison, hospitalization, nursing homes, or involvement with the justice system. State

YOUR VIEWS Lend your voices to budget battle

Carmen Ensinger censinger@campbellpublications.net

revenues cannot be cut this deeply without very real consequences. 140,000 people with mental illness would be denied medication and/or therapy. 11,000 victims of domestic abuse would not receive proper shelter and assistance. 13,000 teachers would be laid off. 21,000 seniors would not receive the help they need from in-home caretakers. 41,000 fewer children would receive child care, preventing their parents from working. Every one of us has the power to influence the elected leaders that represent us. It is my sincere hope that all of us educate ourselves on the budget battle in Springfield and lend our voices to the discussion. JANETTE HEATH, MA, NCC, LCPC Chief Clinical Officer Carrollton, Ill.

An important feature of the CSBG Scholarship program is that it is not limited to recent high school graduates but is extended to individuals who may be returning to complete their education as adults. For the past five years a large percentage of scholarships have been awarded to individuals whose circumstances had never before afforded them the opportunity or time to consider further education. Many of those individuals and their households had participated in other corollary services offered by the agency and whose educational interests were fostered by this relationship. Director Schwab stated that the CSBG Scholarship Program will have funds available to award scholarships again this year to interested individuals residing in Calhoun, Greene, Jersey, and Macoupin.

SUMMERTIME FUN IN THE SUN

Two Rivers Family Fishing Fair back in Grafton for 2014 By ROBERT LYONS Jersey County Journal The 24th annual Two Rivers Family Fishing Fair is just around the corner. This year’s fair will be held Saturday, June 7 from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m. at Pere Marquette State Park. As always, it is an entirely free event. Fishing poles, bait and supplies are all provided. “My hopes with the Fishing Fair is to get the kids hooked on fishing, instead of some of the lesser desirable things that are

out there,” Illinois Department of Natural Resources’ Urban Fishing Coordinator Scott Isringhausen said. The Fishing Fair will be back in Grafton for 2014 and will feature a few new activities, according to Isringhausen. “Last year we had to move it to Jerseyville because of the flood,” Isringhausen said. “There were actually a couple activities that would have been first-time activities that were not there last year.” He said one of the new exhibitors is the Audubon Center from

West Alton, Mo., which will have a station to teach visitors about natural habitats. Illinois American Water will also have an exhibit at the Fishing Fair, which Isringhausen said should be a fun addition. “It’ pretty neat,” he said. “Kids can learn about how to conserve water in an interactive trailer.” Grafton’s Raging Rivers plans to have a booth at the fair, but Isringhausen said he’s not sure what it will entail at this point. Kampsville’s Center for American Archaeology made its debut last

year, and plans to be back again this year. Bow fishing, the bluegill pond, a 4,000-gallon aquarium, trout pond, baiting stations, knot tying, a reality fishing machine, fish identification, casting instructions, first fish photos, Camo the Clown and an appearance from St. Louis Cardinals mascot Fredbird are among the mainstays families can look forward to. Many of the activities include chances to win prizes. “Something else that we haven’t had for a few years that

we’re going to bring back is Radio Disney,” Isringhausen said. “They do a lot of games with the kids.” Over the years, the event has grown and now not only attracts visitors from around Metro East St. Louis, but from other states, as well, according to Isringhausen. The Fishing Fair is held during National Boating and Fishing Week, as well as Illinois’ Free Fishing Days. During Free Fishing Days, residents are permitted to fish in Illinois without a fishing license. “If they bring the kids to the

fishing fair and like to fish, Mom and Dad can then fish Saturday and Sunday as a family activity,” Isringhausen said. The event is a collaborative effort between Illinois Department of Natural Resources and U.S. Fish and Wildlife represented by Pere Marquette State Park and Two Rivers National Wildlife Refuge, respectively. ConocoPhillips and Cabela’s of Hazelwood, Mo., are the primary sponsors for the fair. For more information on the Two Rivers Family Fishing Fair, call 618-786-3323, ext. 1.

White Pelican Art Gallery brings art back to Grafton Sarah Ansell has returned to Grafton, to reopen The White Pelican at 127 E Main Street. Previously, Ansell operated The White Pelican from 2003-2008 selling art by local artists. The White Pelican reopened late January 2014. Currently the gallery showcases and sells handmade and fine art in a variety of mediums: painting, fiber/textiles, block prints, photography, glass, jewelry, ceramics, upcycled art, and more from 23 of the region’s talented artists. One artist, Chris Anders, of Springfield, overlaps from the original gallery. Ansell is excited to return to Grafton as a business owner and art supporter “Grafton is a great place to sell art, thanks to the supportive community, tourism attractions, and natural beauty,” Ansell said. During April, Art Workshops for Kids began for ages 4-9 with adult supervision or 10 and up. The classes are taught by Illinois state licensed art teacher and gallery artist, Heidi Hulliung. During the workshops, kids have the opportunity to choose a medium to create a drawing, painting, or others from still life stations while learning techniques and fundamentals of art. More art workshops for adults

“Grafton is a great place to sell art, thanks to the supportive community, tourism attractions, and natural beauty.”

in the yard surrounding the gallery. Interested artists can email thewhitepelicanartgallery@gmail.com or call 618-780-9197 for more information. “The goal is to create the street art fair experience found in urban areas. The yard that encircles the gallery is the perfect location, visible from the road and water, and an alternative way for more artists to show and sell their work,” Ansell said. Patrons can visit and shop at The White Pelican Wednesday through Friday from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., or Sundays from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. Like The White Pelican on Facebook to follow updates or visit www.thewhitepelicanartgallery.com

He then was blessed once again when he married Ruth (Bast) Feyerabend on Oct. 10, 2007 at Holy Ghost Catholic Church in Jerseyville, and they have enjoyed nearly seven years together. Surviving are his wife, Ruth Shortal of Jerseyville; his six children and their spouses, Jamie and Roger Willis of Mattoon, Michael and Susan Shortal of Camarillo, Calif., John and Kelly Shortal of Godfrey, Mary (Shortal) Leszcynski of LaGrange, Joe Shortal of Las Vegas, and Jane and Tom Tavolcacci of Godfrey; 12 grandchildren; four greatgrandchildren; a brother and sister in law, Patrick and Jackie Shortal of Jerseyville; a sister and brother-in-law, Sandra and John Carpenter of Godfrey; and many loving nieces and nephews.

Wyatt Lahey, 2, gets ready to walk in the March for Paws fundraiser.

Local efforts keep Riverbend finances above water By BoB Crossen Jersey County Journal The Riverbend Humane Society has bounced back from financial depravity to a position where it can fund itself for the next two months following local fundraising efforts. Organized by Alexis Sweeney, Jerseyville resident and nursing student, more than 100 people signed up for the first March for Paws event hosted by the Humane Society last weekend. “It was really good. There were a lot of people who had dogs and we didn’t have any dog fights. I was a little worried about that,” Sweeney said. “It went really, really well.” Being the first time she organized an event of this nature, Sweeney said she was happy with the response to the run and walk that raised money for Riverbend Humane Society. Through donations and entry fees, the event raised around $3,000 for the society. In March, Bill Stuart, Riverbend Humane Society director, said the society had only enough money to keep the shelter open for a month

“We’re tickled pink, but like I said, if we can keep the money coming in and try to put so much up for winter work, it will be awesome.”

Bill Stuart Riverbend Humane Society director because heating expenses for the facility were so high. But with the help of Sweeney and other community members, he said fundraisers have gotten the society back on its feet financially, giving it a chance at hosting its annual fundraiser in July to keep revenue flowing to the no-kill animal shelter. “We still go from month-to-month, but right now I’ve got enough to go for about two months,” Stuart said. “We’re tickled pink, but like I said, if we can keep the money coming in and try to put so much up for winter

Make strides this summer to waterproof your child with swim lessons that are outdoors and fun! Jerseyville Parks and Recreation Department (JPRD) is offering both group, private and semi-private swim lessons this summer at Donor Pool, located 300 June Street, inside Dolan Park. There are four different group sessions to choose from with various times. Levels span from parent/child to level six. Children must be a minimum of 1 year old for parent/child and a minimum of 4 years old for level one. Parent/child and level one classes are $35 per child and are 30 minutes in length. Level two through six are $40 per child and are 45 minutes in length. All classes meet eight times; two-week programs meet Monday through Thursday with Fridays being held for rainout days and Monday night classes meet once per week for eight weeks. The schedule is as follows:

home to approximately 30 cats and 40 dogs seeking owners for adoption. The shelter keeps them fed and housed until an individual adopts one of the animals from the non-profit organization. Every worker at the shelter donates time to operate the facility and keep the animals fed and physically active. Stuart said the March for Paws event was just as much about raising money to help the finances as it was about increasing visibility for the shelter located at 23402 Crystal Lake

Road in Jerseyville. “Some of them were from Edwardsville. Some of them were from Granite City and this and that,” Stuart said. “They weren’t aware that we were out here and I think it opened a few people’s eyes that we were here in this rural area.” Sweeney said many of the people who participated in the event Saturday morning brought their pets with them to walk along the track, an act the organizer encouraged when promoting the event. Seeing all the supporters of the society made her proud to be a part of the community. “I’m really relieved and happy that our community can come together like that in such a short amount of time,” Sweeney said. “I was just really proud to be part of a community that supports stuff like that.” Organizing the event was a stressful but rewarding experience, she said, and before thinking about putting together another run to benefit the society, she said wants to focus on her school work. There are two fundraising events before the Humane Society hosts its annual fundraiser – Animal Independence Day – at its resale shop location in Wood River. On June 9 and 23, the Do Drop Inn in Dow will host bingo nights to raise money for the society. Those interested in participating are encouraged to donate $10 at the door. There will be a bake sale, 50/50 raffle as well as prizes for each round of bingo, with the final round being a $250 Master Card prize.

START VISITS

TED’S MOTORCYCLE WORLD

Michele Cundiff’s Head Start class recently visited Ted’s Motorcycle World. Front, left to right, Kenadi Clore, Devon Bick, Gracie Anderson, Xavior Maupin, Kaylee Baggett, Aden Sumpter. Back, left to right, Cayden Hill, Emelia Sutton, Hayleigh Kopp, Bella Fogle-Higuera, Jaylynn McCoy, Hunter Abbott, Ethan Newton, Arianna Manning, Chase Devening, and Wyatt, Frank. The children learned all about motorcycle safety and how important it was to wear a helmet. The children also enjoyed a tour of the store, a ride on a mechanical motorcycle and eating a snack. The children then enjoyed lunch and playtime at McDonald’s.

St. Francis/Holy Ghost receives grant from Tracy Family Foundation St. Francis/Holy Ghost Catholic Schools in Jerseyville has received a grant from the Tracy Family Foundation. The Foundation recently awarded the school a grant in the amount of $29,822. The money from the grant will be used toward the goal the school has of providing all students with the tools necessary for a technology-based learning environment. The school has been working diligently to make this goal a reality. Currently, all classrooms are equipped with Promethean Boards, which allow teachers to present visual and audio lessons to a classroom, complete with interaction from the students. Both campuses have a computer lab where students are taught computer skills

during computer class time and are able to expand upon their skills through various assignments. Every classroom has at least one computer available for student use during homeroom time. Teachers also have tablets for their individual use in the classrooms. E-Curriculum, learning on-line instead of using textbooks, is being used in some subject areas. Students in grades 7 and 8 have individual devices upon which they may connect to classroom lessons, do assignments, and a host of other learning activities that require a computer. This was possible due to a previous grant from the Tracy Family Foundation for $30,000. The Tracy Family Foundation

grant will allow devices to be purchased for use in 5th and 6th grades as well as tablets to be shared in grades 3rd and 4th for the 2014-15 school year. The schools’ long-range plan includes adding to this technology by distributing devices to other classrooms as money becomes available. Eventually, all students, pre-k through 8th will be equipped with personal devices that can be used in the classrooms. The plan does not stop there. Also included in the long-range plan is Professional Development for every teacher, which will consist of training on how to better integrate technology into the everyday curriculum in the classroom.

JERSEY COUNTY JOURNAL

Jerseyville, Illinois

The beauty of a garden By CaRmen enSingeR Jersey County Journal Ask Tammy Winters of White Hall what her favorite pastime is and she will no doubt say it is gardening and her back yard is stunning proof of this. Winters, a former North Greene teacher, said she has always loved flowers and her love of growing things comes naturally. “When I was little, my dad always had a big garden every year,” Winters said. “I would go out and pick the green beans and tomatoes and go out and sell them to make money to go to band camp.” Now, she leaves the growing of vegetables to her husband, Harold, while she concentrates on a multitude of flowers beds, which not only take up most of her own back yard, but that of the neighbors next door, also. “It started with just one bed in the middle of the yard and then I started putting something in on the side, and then the other side and it just kept growing,” Winters said. “One time one of my little neighbor kids said ‘Can we go play in your maze.” And it literally is a maze with zigzagging beds with just about many plant varieties. “I try to have something blooming all the time,” Winters said. “The spring stuff like the tulips and daffodils are done now and the peonies, columbine and irises are blooming now. After that we will have the day lilies and daisies.” Winters said one important aspect in keeping a nice garden is the quality of the mulch. “I haven’t been able to get really good mulch for the last several years but this year I found some I really like,” she said. “Some of the mulch will be too big and branchy and then

Well, maybe not as breathtaking, but darn near it. The backyard and next door lot of Tammy Winters who lives on Ross Street in White Hall as spring flowers give way to summer blooms. Winters spends a great deal of time tending her garden which features a maze of different flower beds arranged so something will be in bloom year round to add a splash of color.

some of it is too fine. I found this at Lacross Lumber in Carrollton and it is just perfect.” Winters said it is going to take around 80 huge bags of mulch to go around all her many flower beds. “I used to buy it by the truckload but I found it is much easier to handle in the bags,” she said. “I just throw a bag in my wheelbarrow and take it to where I need it. So far I’ve used around 60 large bags and I would say I will probably have to have another 20 before it’s all done.” There is also quite a bit of work involved in maintaining such a huge garden. “Once I get it mulched and the

weeds pulled then it’s not so much work but right now there is a lot of work going on in a person’s yard,” Winters said. “The rain has really put me behind this year. Mulching really makes gardening a lot easier plus you can get the stuff like Preen that you put down which also helps to keep the weeds down.” Then, of course there is the watering which must be done all summer long. “Gardening is a lot of work but it is pleasurable work,” Winters said. “There is just something about digging in the dirt which relieves stress. It’s also good exercise because you are always bending down and digging so it

keeps you active.” Winters is a member of several garden clubs including the North Greene Garden Club which she started several years ago. She, along with other garden club members maintain the community garden on Main Street and also maintain all of the flowers in the barrels down Main Street and host the Farmer’s Market every Saturday morning in Whiteside Park. “It’s just fun to be around other people who have the same interest as you,” Winters said. “I’m checking into joining the garden club in Jacksonville. Our garden club has a lot of activities and you are always learning something new.”

Recognize safety hazards during your yard work (MS) -- Attention, all green thumbs -- and the bodies attached to them: It's nearly time to get down and dirty in the garden Whether you're transforming your backyard into an award winner or just trimming the lawn, the CSA Group, a leading certification and testing organization, asks that you remember the following safety tips: Yard Work n Read the manufacturer's operating instructions and use products only as intended. n Wear protective eye and footwear (on eyes and feet, respectively). n What's that you say? Wear hearing protection when operating loud machinery, vehicles or tools. Power Lawnmowers n Know your mower and

always follow the manufacturer's instructions. n Look for these safety features: a rear guard to protect your hands and feet from rotating blades; a "deadman" control that stops the mower when you release the handle; and an "up-stop" feature to prevent the handle from kicking up when the mower hits an obstacle. n Wear clothing that provides some protection, including long pants, a shirt with sleeves and firmly-tied shoes with nonslip soles and hard toes. n All extension cords should be untangled, in good repair, have a three-prong plug rated for outdoor use and be of the recommended gauge for the load.

HIGH SCHOOL TRACK AND FIELD ROUNDUP

Eight qualify for state

HIGH SCHOOL BASEBALL/SOFTBALL ROUNDUP

Birds repeat, win SCC title

Mike Weaver/Jersey County Journal

Jersey Community High School senior Mary Claire Davis clears the high jump bar earlier this season at the Don Snyders Sports Complex. Davis cleared 5 feet, 4 inches, to place second Saturday at the Springfield Class 2A Sectional and qualify for the state championship meet, which begins with Class 1A preliminary round competition Thursday at O'Brien Stadium in Charleston. michaelrweaver.com

SAM ElliOTT Jersey County Journal A pair of athletes from Jersey Community High School and six more from Southwestern will represent their teams at the IHSA girls track and field state championship meet beginning Thursday at O'Brien Stadium in Charleston. Jersey junior Sydney Jones won the Springfield Class 2A Sectional championship in the triple jump by clearing 36 feet, 10 inches, on her first attempt Saturday in Springfield. She was the 10th-place finisher in the triple jump at last season's Class 2A state championships, where she went 36 feet, 3.75 inches. Jones' effort at the Springfield Sectional makes her the No. 2 seed entering Friday's preliminary round in Charleston, but she'll also compete in the long jump after leaping 17 feet at the Springfield Sectional. "Going in, I was just wanting to qualify in triple jump the most — it was a shocker in the long jump," Jones said. "I just couldn’t get on the board and then finally I hit it and I didn’t think it was that far, but they said 17 feet and I was like, 'well coach, I just qualified for state.'" Jones placed third in the event at Springfield — outside of the toptwo spots that automatically make it to the state meet — but qualified

thanks to surpassing the qualifying distance of 16 feet, 11 inches, by one inch. "I scratched my first jump and on the second I was honestly just doing it trying to get on the board and it turned out that got me the qualifying distance," she said. JCHS senior Mary Claire Davis will also make her second appearance at the state championship meet. Davis set a new personal record by clearing 5 feet, 4 inches, to place second in the high jump Saturday in Springfield. "She cleared it on her first try," Lady Panthers head coach Megan Taake said. "That's got to be a confidence booster going into this week." Just two Class 2A competitors enter the state meet with successful jumps higher than 5 feet, 4 inches. "Hopefully they're confident in themselves," Taake said. "That's exciting stuff." Davis last qualified for the state championships as a sophomore, giving both JCHS representatives prior experience to draw from as they prepare to compete on the state's largest high school track and field stage. "I’m not as scared as I was last year," Jones said. "Every year I’ve been to state, back in middle school, I’d always choke and couldn’t jump well. Last year I kind of got those

jitters out and now I’m just ready to go with a smile on my face and jump." In Class 1A action, Southwestern will field entries in four events after six Lady Piasa Birds qualified for the state championships out of the Staunton Sectional Thursday, May 15, at Staunton High School. Lady Birds Senior Lauren Jenkins will be busy with competing in three events in Charleston. She qualified with a second-place showing in the 100-meter dash in 13.58 seconds and a runner-up finish in the 400meter run in 1:02.77. Jenkins also anchors Southwestern's 4x400-meter relay squad, which qualified for the state meet with a second-place finish in Staunton. The team — which finished in 4:20.16 — also includes senior Lenzi Rodney, junior Payton Heyen and sophomore Erin Laubscher. Heyen and Laubscher will run in two events at the state championships. They're joined by juniors Darby Jones and Natalee Roberts on the Lady Birds' 4x200-meter relay squad. The group placed second at Staunton, finishing in 1:55.36. Class 1A state preliminary competition is Thursday, followed by the Class 2A and 3A preliminary rounds Friday and finals for all classes Saturday at O'Brien Stadium. The area's boys track and field athletes will begin vying for their

state championship meet Thursday. Southwestern will be among the 18 teams at the Carlinville Class 1A Sectional, which begins at 5 p.m. Thursday at Carlinville High School. The Piasa Birds won six South Central Conference titles as Southwestern finished second behind Pana at the league championship meet Thursday, May 15, at Greenville. Ryan Goeken won the 100-meter dash in 11.53 seconds, Trenton Hagen took the 200-meters in 23.67 seconds and J.P. Mueller won the 400-meters with a 52.61-second effort. J.J. Hewitt won the SCC discus title with a toss of 124 feet, 10 inches and the Birds' 4x100- and 4x200-meter relay teams each ran to first-place finishes. Doug Grizzle joined Goeken, Hagen and Mueller in the 4x100-meter relay (44.19 seconds) while the 4x200meter team (1:33.52) included Goeken, Hagen, Grizzle and Tyler Skelton. The JCHS Panthers are included in the 16-team field at the Springfield Class 2A Sectional hosted by Springfield Southeast High School that begins at 4:30 p.m. Friday. Jersey junior Kyle Walsh claimed the Panthers' lone Mississippi Valley Conference title — winning the 300-meter hurdles in 42.6 seconds — as the Panthers finished fifth at the MVC championship meet Wednesday, May 14, at Triad High School. selliott@campbellpublications.net

Southwestern High School's Tanner Moore pitches for the Piasa Birds earlier this season in Brighton. The Birds (21-11) clinched a share of their second South Central Conference championship in as many seasons by beating Vandalia 10-0 in five innings Friday and are the No. 1 seed at the Edwardsville Class 2A Regional. michaelrweaver.com

The Southwestern High School baseball team successfully defended its 2013 South Central Conference championship by clinching a share of the program's 10th overall league title with a 10-0 win against Vandalia in five innings Friday in Brighton. The Piasa Birds finished their regular season with a 21-11 overall record and a 7-2 mark in league play. They'll share the 2014 SCC title with co-champs Litchfield and Roxana. Southwestern capped its regular season with nine wins through its final 11 games, including a six-game winning streak. Junior Spencer Heineman became just the third Piasa Birds pitcher in school history to win 10 games in a single season when he reached double-digit victories by throwing a two-hit shutout against Vandalia. He's 10-1 this season — one win shy of the school-record 11 set by Jim Rathgeb in 1971 — with a 1.71 earned-run average and 63 strikeouts in nearly 78 innings of work. Heineman struck out five

batters and issued zero walks while adding one run batted in and scoring two runs against Vandalia. Blake Lawson led the Birds with a 3-for-4 game with a double, one RBI and two runs scored. Jimmie Naylor, Zack Seymour and Eric Beyer each added multi-hit games and combined for four RBIs. The Piasa Birds are the No. 1 seed at the Edwardsville Class 2A Regional and faced No. 4 Metro-East Lutheran in a semifinal matchup Wednesday, but results were not available at press time. No. 2 Roxana and No. 3 Staunton are in the other semifinal with the winners meeting in the regional title game at 10 a.m. Saturday in Edwardsville. The Southwestern softball squad also began postseason play Wednesday. The No. 3 seed Lady Piasa Birds faced No. 2 Gillespie in the semifinals of the Gillespie Class 2A Regional Wednesday, but results were not available at press time. Top-seeded Litchfield awaits Wednesday's winner in the regional title game set for 11 a.m. Saturday in Gillespie.
