First TIF project set to begin in Jerseyville By ROBERT LYONS Jersey County Journal As an entire city block prepares to be cleared for a potential new retailer, one displaced business is already planning on rebuilding bigger and better. Jersey County Farm Supply (FS) plans to convert the property of the former bucket factory and ice plant on the corner of County Road and June Street in Jerseyville into an expanded fuel station and tire service center. On Tuesday night, Jerseyville City Council accepted a Tax Increment Finance (TIF) agreement with FS, marking the first approved TIF application. “We feel like we’ve got a good opportunity to go out there next to our main office,” FS manager Dave Lewis said. “We bought that adjacent property there across the tracks a year ago, before there was a TIF and before we even had an idea that we were selling our station.”
Lewis said the new facility will better serve tractor trailers, with two semi bays with fueling stations on each side. “We also want to be able to expand our tire service capabilities to be able to handle big trucks, because where we’re at up town now, you really have to want to buy from us to get in there with a big truck,” Lewis said. “It’s pretty tight, and not very convenient.” The maintenance shop at FS’s main office will also relocate to the new property, as Lewis said the farmer owned co-op has outgrown the current facility. The FS manager said the plan is to begin construction by mid-June and, hopefully, complete the project by mid-fall. “It’ll be a good offering for farmers and local trucking companies that have semis,” Lewis said. “We feel the project will be a good fit for the city, and a good project to start off TIF.” (See, TIF, A2)

By BOB CROSSEN Jersey County Journal Grafton Mayor Tom Thompson outlined the Open Meetings Act violations of Jerry Bauersachs, according to a letter from the state’s attorney during a council meeting May 27. State’s Attorney Ben Goetten said there was a violation of the act which occurred on March 26, 2014 when Bauersachs, Grafton alderperson, attended a sign committee meeting, took notes and participated in discussion of that meeting. Alderpersons Pam Bick and Flo Rowling were members of the committee and Bauersachs was asked to attend. “The presence and participation of the additional alderman created a quorum and therefore exposed the City of Grafton to potential civil liability for failure to comply with the mandates of the Act,” Gotten wrote in a letter to Thompson in early May. Goetten notes that the State’s Attorney’s office will not file a civil action because of the violation but “would strongly encourage strict conformity to the act in the future.” The state’s attorney recommended that all meetings at which alderpersons are in attendance conform with OMA – whether formal or informal – to avoid any future conflicts. Bauersachs said there was no violation of the Open Meetings Act because the public was welcome to attend the meeting. The dates and time of the meeting were also posted, he added, giving the public advanced notice to attend. “Anyone could have attended that
meeting. The intent of the Open Meetings Act is that we don’t have three aldermen at a party and start talking about city business because it was not announced at a proper place at the proper time,” Bauersachs said. Allan Napp, city attorney filling in for Jim Schrempf who was not present at the meeting, said the issue is a matter of the “appearance of impropriety.” It is the recommendation of
Residents seek update to fish odor By BOB CROSSEN Jersey County Journal Around a dozen residents in the Grafton area attended Tuesday’s city council meeting for an update on the smell of dead fish wafting to their homes from American Heartland Fish Products. Tom Warford approached the city council about the smell during the last regular meeting, and told the council May 27 that the smell has been so bad at times that he can’t have people at his home. He said he spoke with Gray Magee, AHFP partner, about the issue and was told the plant was scrubbed with bleach for 30 minutes before coming out to his home to check the smell. Warford questioned why a plant that does not create odor needs to scrub down with bleach to prevent odor. “I can’t have family at my house because it stinks so damn bad,” Warford said. “The machinery can’t fix that. Tonight it was a bit different because it smelled like they poured Clorox bleach down my driveway.”
Mayor Tom Thompson said the city has been in contact with the EPA about the issue, but has not heard when a team will come to Grafton to look into the problem. Also at Tuesday’s meeting, the Grafton City Council voted 4-to-3 against printing maps produced by the Grafton Visitor’s Center with locations of all city businesses, as well as information about the visitor’s center. Council members Flo Rowling, Jerry Bauersachs and Bobbie Amburg voted in favor of producing the maps while Pam Bick, Charles Linnemeyer and Joe Carey voted against the measure. Thompson voted against producing the map to break the tie. The city’s chamber of commerce already distributes a map. During the last regular meeting Patty O’Hair, Grafton business woman and resident, brought the issue to the city council, and Thompson requested the visitor’s center meet with the Grafton Chamber of Commerce, which produces maps annually.

Grafton elementary not closing, despite rumors By BOB CROSSEN Jersey County Journal Despite meetings and the spread of information to the contrary, the Jersey Community Unit School District 100 board is not closing Grafton Elementary School. “We are not closing Grafton,” Dr. Lori Hopkins, Jersey Community Unit School District 100 superintendent, said. “What we want to do is help Grafton; market what we have going on there so that we can bring people in.” Faced with a $2.6 million deficit in the education fund of its budget earlier this year, Jersey Community Unit School District 100 board members requested Hopkins research the impact closing Grafton Elementary School would have on district finances. Hopkins said the research indicated doing so was financially irresponsible for the district, as it would result in increases in the transportation budget. “It was not a sensible move to close Grafton because the operational costs – which is an area in which we are not in deficit – that’s the only savings we’d really have there,” Hopkins said, “And the savings would not be made up in transportation. Our transportation costs would end up probably costing us more by having to transport all kids from Grafton up to the Jerseyville schools.” Not only would closing the school cost
the district money, Hopkins said transporting the students would add to bus route times, meaning students would spend far too long being transported to school. Instead, the district decided to modify the boundaries for students attending Grafton Elementary. During the May 21 school board meeting, Cory Breden, transportation director, said in preparing the new boundaries, looking at transportation times was a major factor. Because of the rural nature of the district, he said some times will be longer than other, smaller districts, but said he attempted to ensure no transportation time would not exceed an hour for any student. At the same meeting, the school board approved to change the boundaries of Grafton Elementary to create class size parity between West Elementary, East Elementary and Grafton Elementary as part of Breden’s transportation proposal. The boundary change alone would save approximately $35,000 in transportation costs each year. Additional changes to hazardous routes and a transfer of a middle school bus to a different route brought the total savings of the proposal to $95,000. Joyce Hurst is a concerned citizen of Jerseyville who lived in Grafton. She said she received a number of calls from Grafton families who were worried about what the boundary change would do to the school and its families. (See, ElEmEnTAry, A2)

the city’s legal counsel, he said, to avoid such appearances. “What we want to do is avoid the appearance of impropriety,” Napp said. “While legislators are welcome to attend subcommittees, once they become actively involved in the process of the meeting, we’re coming dangerously close to the appearance of impropriety.” (See, VIolATIon, A2)

STAff REPORT Jersey County Journal Three Jersey schools were put on lockdown Wednesday morning after a bullet was discovered on a school bus. Superintendent Dr. Lori Hopkins said no weapons were found and a threat was not made. She said the lockdown was a cautionary measure to ensure the safety of students and staff members in
the schools. The lockdown began around 8:10 a.m. and lasted approximately 40 minutes, while law enforcement and school officials conducted searches at Grafton Elementary, Illini Middle School and Jersey Community High School. The lockdown was lifted at approximately 8:52 a.m. At 10 a.m., an automated call was placed to all parents and staff in the district to notify them of the situation.

Elementary (Continued from A1) “My concern is them changing the zoning of where the school kids go,” Hurst said. “They keep doing that and it’s just going to effect more.” She opposed the closures of the Dow Elementary, Fieldon Elementary and Delhi Elementary schools when those issues arose. She worries Grafton Elementary is the next school on the chopping block. “When you close a school in a small town, you lose a town,” Hurst said. “There is not good family values anymore because the parents are on the run, running here and there. Everybody used to take care of everybody. Now they don’t do that no more.” She said the longer bus rides are just more time away from home where parents can teach their children important family values. She said the statements about closing the school being financially irresponsible echo those made years ago by school officials about other schools that have since been closed. “They just keep taking and taking until the school is gone,” Hurst said, adding she believes the board will continue to rezone the school until it is no longer feasible to keep it open. She said she will continue to voice her concerns to keep the school open. Prior to the boundary change, Grafton Elementary School’s largest
class size was 24 students based on data from the 2012-2013 school year. That class size is three students fewer than the smallest class at either elementary school in Jerseyville where the largest class size was 30 in both kindergarten and first grade. With the boundary change and reducing the number of sections per grade in Grafton – there were two sections from kindergarten through third grade prior to the boundary shift – the class sizes between each school will normalize across all District 100 elementary schools. Additional sections would be added to the Jerseyville elementary schools with the section reduction in Grafton. The change does come with a downside, however, as third grade in Grafton would increase to 31 students, the biggest class size as a result of the change. All other class sizes at the Grafton school would be equal to or smaller than any class in Jerseyville where the smallest class size would be 25. Breden said all enrollment numbers used to figure the class sizes were based on data from the 2012-2013 school year. The exact logistics and bus routes under the changed boundaries have not been finalized, but Hopkins said more information will be forthcoming as to the district’s plans.
Violation (Continued from A1) Bauersachs said there have been other violations by the city in regards to OMA, most notably the failure to review closed session minutes for their potential release to the public. The city has also violated OMA by taking action on items which were not placed on the agenda prior to certain meetings, he added. The city has at times voted to suspend the rules to take action for items of that nature, but Bauersachs said the appointment of Joyce Harmon as treasurer in April of 2013 was not conducted in accordance with OMA. “It was never on the agenda, and the rules were never suspended,” Bauersachs said. “On February 11, 2014, the
city council approved – or accepted – the audit of the auditor. The audit was never on the agenda and the rules were never suspended.” He said closed session minutes have not been reviewed in seven months – according to OMA they must be reviewed every six months – but were intended to be discussed during the meeting Tuesday. However, the issue was not placed on the agenda, he added, and action will have to wait until the next regular meeting. Goetten’s letter notes that the alderpersons present for the sign committee meeting were not compensated for their time spent at the meeting, nor were they reimbursed for mileage.

(Continued from A1) Janey Brummett, Grafton Chamber of Commerce president, said the chamber met after the city’s last regular meeting to discuss the matter and voted to recommend the city not create another map. “It would be duplicative. We were just getting a brand new map that we just got printed last week,” Brummett said. “There are 18 businesses that paid for ads on this map and they feel like that would be greatly diluting their advertisements if we started handing out two maps at the visitor’s center.” She said the chamber has already received 12,000 maps at no cost to the chamber, although businesses did purchase advertisements. She said a second map would only confuse visitors to the city, and the $1,100 cost for new maps is money the city does not need to spend on something that already exists. Rowling, visitor’s center committee member, said the chamber’s map excluded 27 businesses in the city and did not have any information about the visitor’s center. The alderwoman said the visitor’s center map would not conflict with the chamber’s map because both would be handed out to visitors. One would complement the other, she added. “If there is any additions, we can correct them four months from now,” Rowling said before holding up the chamber’s map. “This map doesn’t change for a year.” Rowling said the chamber should have asked Grafton if it wanted to be a part of the chamber’s map and if it would like to purchase ad space to promote the visitor’s center. Rowling said the visitor’s center committee is trying to work with the chamber, but Brummett said it feels like the committee is working against them. The chamber president said all the information the visitor’s center wants on its map could be a supplemental list to
the already published map, rather than another map entirely. Rhonda Linders, county board member in attendance at Tuesday’s meeting, said the the lack of visitor’s center information on the chamber’s map is a “major oversight.” Jeff Lorton, Aeries Winery owner and chamber member, said the people pick up the chamber maps from the visitor’s center, so they shouldn’t need information on the center itself. The city could better spend the money on new maps on a different project to aid the community, he added. “It could be spent better putting a billboard at Route 3 and 109 and it would be a map of everything,” Lorton said. “I think the consensus of the chamber was don’t make another map and spend the money you’re going to spend. Instead of spending it on a map, spend it on something else that would help the businesses more than another map.” Lorton said the chamber and the visitor’s center committee could meet together next year to update the map with more information about the center and come to a compromise. Rowling requested the council approve to publish the visitor’s center map for the summer season to see what impact it would have, but the council voted against the measure. In other business, the council: n Approved minutes of the previous meeting, the invoices and the treasurer’s report. n Approved a special permit for the River Rat Cat Fish Classic. Rowling voted No. n Approved the municipal expenditure statement. n Approved a change order to the contract with Stutz Excavating to removed buried demolition debris, including asbestos, as part of the IKE property buyout program. The city is not responsible for the expense.
Soer said. “They have to get the permits (from the county), and I end up having to do the inspections. They have a person who can take care of it now.” The city will maintain control of zoning within the mile-and-a-half radius. The council also presented fifth grader Tanner Crotchett with a certificate of recognition. On Christmas Eve 2013, Tanner was outside playing when he heard his elderly neighbor yelling for help. The neighbor had fallen while going out to retrieve the mail and was unable to get up. Tanner summoned the help of his parents, who carried the woman inside from the singledigit temperatures and contacted family members. “Tanner did what he had to do. He went over, assisted her, got help and saved her life,” Mayor Perdun said. In other action, the council approved: n Tourism grants of $900 to Jersey County Street Machine Association and $1,000 to the Tired Iron Tractor Pulling Association. n A work order not to exceed $4,000 for preliminary engineering services, an informational meeting and grant application for Phase 2 of the Curtis/Adams Drainage Improvement Project. n Closing East Exchange Street from Giddings Street to the end of the fenced area across from East Elementary from 8:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. on May 30. n The list of bills and minutes of the previous meeting. n Tabling the acceptance of the Lorton TIF application agreement.

(Continued from A1) The addition of E85 gasoline and biodiesel fuel are also being added at the new station, which Lewis said further supports the farming community. Per the TIF agreement, for 15 years after the project begins, FS will receive 50 percent of the money directed toward the city’s TIF account generated by the property. TIF funds include only the increase in property tax revenue after the TIF was established. Mayor Richard Perdun said early estimates indicate annual payments to FS could be around $6,000. “It clearly is something that will help them move their downtown station out to that location, and expand a lot of their services,” Bill Strang, an attorney representing FS at Tuesday’s meeting, said. Though the official start of the construction could still be as long as a month away, there have already been improvements to the structure on the property. Over the past few months, the building’s exterior has be painted and revitalized. “It’s a much better looking piece of property now than it has been in years,” Commissioner Billy Russell said. Also at Tuesday night’s meeting, the council approved relinquishing the city’s right to issue building permits to the county in a one-anda-half mile radius outside of city limits. City Building Inspector Jeff Soer said the move will make the permit process easier for both the city and county. “It’s been getting real confusing, because I have to enforce the county’s codes and not the city’s codes,”

BUILDING CAD
SHACKS
shane Long, left, and nathan scott work on building homes in the computer-aided design (CAD) class at Jersey Community High school on thursday, May 22.
By RoBeRt Lyons Jersey County Journal The Jersey Community High School wrestling team thought out of the box and on to the grill for what it hopes will be a major fundraising success. On Saturday, June 21 the team is hosting a cookoff at the Jersey County fairgrounds, pitting competitors in four categories to determine barbecue supremacy. Chefs will battle for trophies and cash prizes for best chicken, beans, ribs and pork shoulder. Wrestling coach Allen Snyder said information has been distributed throughout the tri-county area, and beyond to draw teams from a wide area. “We’ve got a couple teams from East St. Louis signed up, coming,” he said. “We’ve got a team from Champaign and a couple of them from Springfield.” Cooking will begin on Friday night, June 20, and the first category to be judged will be chicken at noon on Saturday. Pork should will be judged at 5 p.m. The cost is $50 per team, or $75 for teams also selling their food. Those not competing will get to help determine the winner. With entry to the event, spectators will get to sample the competitors’ offerings and place a vote for the people’s choice award. Paid attendees will also receive a free sandwich from the concession stand. There will also be a washers tournament, as well as a watermelon eating contest, each with a cash prize. “We’re hoping to get a big crowd. I would love to
have people come out. The gates for the BBQ cook-off open at 9 a.m. on Saturday, June 21. The proceeds from the event will benefit Jersey Community High School’s wrestling program. “Mainly, we want to purchase a new wrestling mat. They’re about $8,000,” Snyder said. “Hopefully, with the two fundraisers this year we can get a new mat that is a lot lighter weight and has more cushion.” The money will also be used for the wrestling team’s travel. The coach said the team competes at overnight tournaments annually, which requires team members to stay in hotels. A craft fair and a concession stand at the Jersey County Fair Parade also raise money for the program throughout the year. “I try to keep everything to where it’s servicebased. I’m a parent, I know what it’s like to get hit up for every sport, four or five times. They’re always trying to sell something. This is, if you want to come, great. If you don’t, that’s OK. We’re going to be out there and have a lot of fun.” Snyder said he’s hoping to get upward of 25 teams for this year’s cook-off, and hopes to double that number next year. “We want people to come back, and it get bigger and bigger,” he said. “I’d love for it to be our only fundraiser.” For more information, or a complete of rules, contact Snyder at 618-946-7387 or allen.snyder@ jersey100.org.

By BoB CRossen Jersey County Journal Illini Middle School will see a swath of improvements by the time students return to the building next year. During a special board meeting May 21, the Jersey Community Unit School District 100 board approved a bid for a heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) system for the school from Koch Air. The bid for the system was $111,000. Alan Churchman, curriculum and instruction director for District 100, said Illini’s HVAC system has been in place since the 1970s and the equipment is getting too old to maintain. “We’re having trouble finding parts to fix the ones whenever they go down,” Churchman said. “One of the pieces went down over there – the controls – and we’re still searching, trying to find a part for it.” He said parts of the system have
been failing, and he worried specifically about the potential for major failures during another harsh winter, like the most recent. The work will begin this summer with the intent of having all work completed before students return at the beginning of the school year next fall. Churchman said the updates will also make the school more energy efficient, which could save the district some expenses. The board also discussed bids on an intercom system for the Jerseyville middle school, but took no action to approve the system during the special board meeting held May 21. Churchman said the bids were higher in price than anticipated. The district is looking to find costsavings through negotiations and use of in-house personnel to install the system. “We’re looking for different avenues that are less expensive,” Churchman said.
The director said updating the intercom is an important part of shoring up security in the building. Teachers do not have a way to communicate over the intercom installed at IMS, he added, noting the new system will allow for twoway communication. Additionally, the school board approved a gym floor bid during its last regular meeting, May 15. Churchman said the floor became increasingly slick over the years and the $14,400 project to be completed by Designs Unlimited from Pinckneyville will address that issue among others. He said the funding for the floor is paid through donations and money raised through concession stand purchases. An update to the gym floor at Jersey Community High School is also being discussed, but Churchman said the project has been pushed until next year when more funds to maintain it will be available.

Maybe you walked along a boulevard of many flags on your way to your town’s Memorial Day service. Perhaps you took part by paying tribute to the veterans, past and present, by saluting the ones who marched in the Memorial Day Parade through Jerseyville. If you did any of these things, you participated in the spirits of Memorial Day, honoring those brave men and women who have served our country as members of the armed forces. A flag is a simple symbol – just red, white and blue, arranged in a pattern of stars and stripes. But it stands for a great country and a great idea – that individuals have the God-given right to control their own destiny. That’s a lot to pack into a rectangle of cloth. When you admire the flag and enjoy the advantages that come from living in the USA, never forget for a moment that our country is only as strong as the next generation of leaders. Tell America’s story. Respect our flag and all that it means. Do your part to keep America strong.

Soon to be a Panhandler… but forever a Jerseyvillain I
have lived in this four-county radius my whole life and will always consider Jerseyville my hometown. Most of you who have followed my column over the last eight years and also know me beyond the confines of these inches of loyal literary diatribes afforded to me every now and then by the paper’s editor here already know of my soon-to-be departure from the Midwest. By the end of summer, my new husband and I will be making our new home in the Eastern Panhandle of West Virginia. We will be living in one of the most historic and beautiful parts of this country of ours, and if I can’t be in my hometown, I can’t think of a better place to be. Just as John Denver wrote in the lyrics of his song Country Roads, Take Me Home, “Almost heaven, West Virginia, Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah River…” That is exactly where we will be living. Hours upon hours of extensive research has told me that our new hometown is nothing short of impressive, vibrant, and ready to capture my heart and soul. In fact, my husband has already relocated out there due to his work promotion and transfer. He tells me each time we talk just how beautiful it is, how everywhere you look it is surrounded by mountains, and how much I’m going to fall in love with it when I get there and see it all. I can hardly wait! Growing up in Jerseyville and
raising my own children here too was undoubtedly the right choice for us all; Jersey County is a great place for families. And being nurtured and supported along the way by some of the most encouraging people as we journeyed through life in this part of the country is what has best prepared me to pen this next chapter. The hardest part to authoring this new piece of life’s story will be leaving family and friends behind, and most significantly, my two sons. They are staying here to finish their college education. However, instead of them “leaving the nest” as they finish college over the next year or so, I like to think that I am leaving it now to prepare a new nest full of opportunity and promise that they can come and settle into whenever they might choose or need to do so. As a writer, photographer, and lifelong bibliophile, moving out to the eastern part of our country is even more exciting because of the very literary-based nature of the culture there. There are many more libraries and bookstores out there than in the St. Louis Metro area. There is also a much greater pool of people like me…writers and journalists who also like to tell their stories through their pens as well as through the camera’s lens. Being just an hour from DC and Baltimore will be pretty exciting as well, and again, full of opportunity. Jersey County, you have been my foundation since the mid 1970s and
will always have the tightest grip on my loyalties. I will forever be a Jerseyvillain at heart. And while I will only be here for a little while longer this summer, I Guest am hoping to Column continue taking BY MELISSA up some space on the editoMESKE rial pages of the Journal every now and then whenever they let me, even after I’m gone. Of course, I will be back for visits often enough to not forget the memories and the friendships I have made here. And if you’re ever out our way, look me up…please! I’d love to show you around…and let those I have met out there see firsthand why I am who I am. –––––––––––––––––––––––––––– n Melissa (Crockett) Meske has

JOURNAL SEEKING GUEST COLUMNISTS
If anyone is interested in submitting a guest column, please contact the Journal. There are many topics out there and we have found that our readers have a lot of thoughtful things to say, on a broad range of topics. Columns, like letters, should add to the public discourse in a helpful way. Guest columns are submitted by a rotating roster of columnists or are simply sent in unsolicited and, if appropriate, are published. These columns do not reflect the views of the newspaper, only the writer. Length is no more than 800 words. Deadlines are Tuesday at 10 a.m. Topics are the choice of the columnist although we encourage our contributors to avoid obviously inflammatory issues (religion, abortion, etc.). Though we are a local paper, contributors are free to write about national or international issues (the pledge, the war, Social Security, health care, etc.). The Journal reserves the right to hold, edit or withdraw a column. These guest columns are an opportunity for our contributors to share an idea, an opinion or information; it is not an opportunity to sell a product or a service. We are looking for informed opinion and lively debate. Our only requirements are that your column have relevance to our community and our readership and be responsibly written (no personal attacks or self promotion, for example).
EDITORIAL
Appreciates donations to Wounded Marine Fund TO THE EDITOR: On behalf of the Robert Windle Detachment #1031, of the Marine Corps League I want to extend my sincere appreciation to the citizens of Jerseyville and the surrounding communities for your generosity in donating to the Wounded Marine Fund on May 17, 2014. The total for the 2014 Wounded Marine Fund Drive is: $4,202.08. It is important to note that 100 per cent of the money collected will be given to a Wounded Marine. Founded in 2007 the Wounded Marine Fund has collected and distributed $31,724.50 to a United States Marine wounded while defending our country. If you were unable to donate on May 17 you can still participate by sending your donation to First Bank, 117 South State Street, Jerseyville, IL 62052, marked for the Wounded Marine Fund. MARTIN E. ANDREWS Commandant Robert Windle Detachment #1031 Jerseyville, Ill.
County board chairman sets record straight TO THE EDITOR: In response to the recent accusations fellow Jersey County Board member Jeff Ferguson made against me at the May 13 county board meeting, I felt I owed it to the citizens of Jersey County to set the record straight. Mr. Ferguson stated he feels I have been paid for committee meetings that I should not have been entitled to. To clarify the compensation for board member pay, each board member is paid $110 monthly and $44 per committee meeting that they attend and for which they are a member. In addition, the chairman of the board is eligible to receive an additional salary of $440 per month. I have been chairman of the Jersey County Board for approximately 18 months. In that 18-month period I have only taken the $440 per month salary the chairman is entitled to. I have refused to accept the additional $110 per month that I could receive as a board member because I don’t feel it would be right to do so, even though the rules set forth allow for it. The meetings that Mr. Ferguson is referring to are
meetings that I attend for purposes of keeping abreast of important issues that come before our board. It has been past practice that when the board chairman attends any committee meeting, whether their presence is requested or not, they are compensated $44 for doing so. I will not apologize for trying to be more informed and in turn serving this county more effectively. If you look at my pay history as chairman you will see that if I had taken the $110 stipend that I am fully authorized to accept, that I would have received $714 more in board compensation. This is a savings to the taxpayer. With absolute confidence, I can promise you that I have never taken a penny at this job, or any job for that matter, that I wasn’t entitled to. I am tired of the bickering and contention at every meeting, it’s become a sideshow. It is an embarrassment to the other hard working board members who sacrifice much of their time to work hard for the citizens. But more importantly, it makes Jersey County look ridiculous. I would like the board to work together and get along, but I have come to the conclusion that until there is a change to the makeup of this board, that goal will never become a reality. When I accepted the position of board chairman I honestly believed that I had the capacity to work with anyone. After more than three decades in public service I regret to say that I have come to that point where I can say that’s simply not the case. The negativity and obstructionist tactics of some members of this board is eating away at any progress we can hope to achieve. Because I am the chairman of the board and the buck stops with me, I want to formally apologize to the members of this community for the circus they’ve witnessed over the past several months. But due to the baseless accusations of Mr. Ferguson, in order to keep peace and put this matter behind us, I am in the process of drafting a memo to all board members stating that in the future I will only attend committee meetings that I am a member of or that I have been requested to attend. If Mr. Ferguson’s motivation was to get the bare minimum input and participation from his board chairman, then congratulations Jeff, you’ve succeeded once again to the detriment of this fine county. I’ll spend that time watching my grandchildren play baseball, dance at recitals and spend time with my family. That compensation is worth much more to me than your $44.

Illinois spring wild turkey season harvest totals 13,513 birds Hunters in Illinois harvested a preliminary statewide total of 13,513 wild turkeys during the 2014 Spring Turkey Season, including the youth seasons. The 2014 total compares with the statewide turkey harvest of 14,133 in 2013. The statewide preliminary total includes Youth Turkey Season harvest of 718 birds, compared with youth season harvest of 917 turkeys in 2013. Spring turkey hunting was open in 100 of Illinois’ 102 counties. The 2014 seasons were April 7-May 8 in the South Zone and April 14-May 15 in the North Zone.

Itty Bitty T-Ball is a non-competitive skill development program that consists of small group rotations through skill stations. Stations include hitting, base running, catching, grounders and throwing. The program meets once per week for six weeks for 45 minutes. The session runs from Sunday, June 15 to July 27 on Diamond F at Dolan Park in Jerseyville, located at the corner of June and Carpenter Street. In the event of rain, the session will be pulled inside the Susnig Center. There will be no session held on July 6. On the sixth and final week, participants will be divided and scrimmage an entire game. There are four times to choose from: 4 p.m.,

White Hall librarian retires after 49 years By Carmen ensinger Jersey County Journal
After nearly a half century of serving the people of White Hall, Alice Ford consulted the card catalog for the final time as librarian at White Hall Township Library on May 9. Ford will be honored for her 49 years of service with the library with a retirement party at the library on June 1 from 2 to 4 p.m. Ford, a 1960 graduate of North Greene High School, began work as an assistant librarian in 1965 after applying for several different positions in White Hall. “I was without a job at the time and had applied for the library position and also put my application in at Search’s IGA store when it was here in White Hall,” Ford said. “I got called for the store job but I only worked there about three days because I got a call from the library and I really wanted to work at the library.” She had no idea the job would turn into a career. “Most people don’t stay with a job this long but I have lived here all my life and really had no desire to go anywhere else,” Ford said. “I wasn’t one who liked to get out and drive in the winter time to get to another job so I just stayed here.” The earlier days of the library were much different than it is today. “Back when I first started, the library was always full of kids,” Ford recalls. “Kids didn’t have all these extra activities that they have to do today and they didn’t have cars to run around in. We were open from 7 (a.m.) to 9 in the evening and every table in there would have kids in it. They were either studying or it was the place to go to meet their friends.” Of course this was long before computers and e-books. “Back then we really checked out a lot of books,” Ford said. “Circulation is not nearly as good as it used to be because there are so many other options out there.” Ford took over the head librarian position from Ina Knight in 1983 and
immediately set about to give it her own personal touch. “So many libraries I’ve seen are so stuffy because you walk in and there is just row after row of metal shelves with books,” Ford said. “I tried to make our library a more attractive place when I took over. We have a fireplace with two comfortable chairs in front of it. We have people studying genealogy come in here from all over and the one thing they said is that our library looks so nice and inviting.” Ford ushered in the computer age during her tenure.
“i’m going to miss the people more than anything. i like visiting with people and i had regulars that came in every single day to read the newspapers or just chat. i will miss that.”
Alice Ford Librarian at White Hall Township Library “Mrs. Knight didn’t think we needed computers,” Ford said. “After I became head librarian, we started out with one computer for the office. Then we thought we needed one for the public to use. Then it became two and now we have four public computers here.” If Ford had stayed just one more year longer, she would have no doubt seen the library become fully automated. “We started the process of becoming automated like Carrollton last year,” Ford said. “I contacted a lady at our library system in Edwardsville and she came up and talked to us and the board decided it was time we became automated, so we are in the process
now.” When asked why she didn’t stay just one more year to reach the halfcentury mark, Ford said it was a decision fueled by family tragedy including the death of her mother at the age of 103 last year and her brother. “I thought about it and they asked me why I didn’t stay just one more year to reach 50 years, but I just had so many things happen last year that I decided it was time,” Ford said. “I just decided I don’t want to work until the day I drop and made my decision.” Ford has seen three generations grow up through the library. “People will come in now that are grown that were little kids when I first started and they are bringing their kids now,” Ford said. “When I see them I think of their name and I always remember them as they were little. I see them now and I feel really old because they are so grown up.” The library has been forced to change with the times and these days offers a lot more than just books. “When I started, we didn’t have movies to check out or audio books – that has all come about since I have been here,” Ford said. “The work of the librarian has also changed a lot. These days we spend a lot of time doing paperwork for grants and such – something I’m not going to miss at all.” Of course that is not saying she won’t miss other aspects of being librarian for most of her adult life. “I’m going to miss the people more than anything,” Ford said. “I like visiting with people and I had regulars that came in every single day to read the newspapers or just chat. I will miss that.” Still, Ford is not going to be a stranger to the library. “I still plan on working there as a fill in if someone has to go on vacation or to a meeting or something and they need someone extra to work,” Ford said. “And I will be available if they every need any help with anything. I was there three weeks with the new librarian and I tried to teach her everything I had learned in 49 years in those three weeks, but if they need me they can call me.”

Learning about your family history is important (StatePoint) It’s no wonder that genealogy is one of the most popular topics on the Internet -- family history can be fascinating, and learning more about it is an excellent vehicle for generating conversation and fostering inter-generational bonds. Beyond creating a family tree, consider generating a more thorough narrative by conducting an oral history interview with your loved ones. “Through an oral history, you can capture key life moments and connect the past and future,” says Nancy Rogers, senior vice president of Corporate Responsibility at Lincoln Financial Group. The company is honoring the legacy of Abraham Lincoln and the 150th anniversary of the Emancipation Proclamation through its Lincoln’s Legacy initiative, which includes a call for recorded oral histories conducted by Americans nationwide. With so much technology now available in the palm of your hand, discovering and capturing your family’s history is easier than ever. From conducting research online to recording and sharing oral histories, take advantage of available tools. Here are some guidelines to make the most of the experience: n Prepare questions, don’t just wing it. You’ll have a much more interesting conversation if you have a series of open-ended questions ready in advance. For example, “what historical event left the most lasting impression on your life?” Avoid yes or no questions. n Consider your relatives’ ages and what life might have been like for them during their childhood. Were their schools or neighborhoods racially diverse? Ask your grandparent or older relative to compare life today to that time. “You may not think about it often, but Americans have not always enjoyed the freedom and opportunities they do today. Talking to older relatives about their lives and the lives of their parents and grandparents can shed light on the struggles and challenges of the past,” says Allison Green, chief diversity offi-
cer at Lincoln Financial. n Use a prop to get the conversation started, such as an old photo or a trinket. These keepsakes can inspire both questions and answers. n Preserve your interview by recording it forever. Choose a well-lit, quiet area. Use a camcorder or a smartphone -- whatever works for you. n Don’t keep your interview to yourself. There are ways you can share it with the world. For exam-
ple, Lincoln Financial Group is calling for recordings to be incorporated into an anthology of voices. To upload your conversation or learn more about the initiative, visit www. LincolnsLegacyOralHistories.com. Everyone has an interesting story to tell and a legacy to leave. Don’t let the fascinating fabric of your family history fade away undiscovered.

FAMILY FEATURES
Y
ou can turn any summer day into a special occasion with a cool ice cream treat. From classic favorites to innovative new flavors, it only takes a scoop or two to bring out plenty of smiles. For kids, summertime is about chilling out, and there’s no better way to enjoy this slowed down pace than with a refreshing, frosty treat. Celebrate birthday parties, holiday gatherings or days that end in “y” with special ice cream concoctions that are destined to create sweet memories.
Celebrate summer
Grab a spoon and dig into these scrumptious recipes, featuring delicious Blue Bunny ice cream flavors. These treats make it easy for everyone to customize to their own sweet preference, whether it’s pairing creamy Blue Bunny ice cream with the gooey goodness of freshly-baked chocolate cake, the buttery finish of a flaky pie crust or in a classic, richly adorned parfait. For other great ideas to cool down your summer days and nights, visit www.BlueBunny.com.
Ice Cream Cupcakes
Yield: 18 to 20 cupcakes Cupcake liners 1 1/8 cups all-purpose flour 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder 1 teaspoon baking soda 1 teaspoon salt 1/2 cup butter, softened 1 cup white sugar 1 egg 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1 cup brewed coffee 1 container Blue Bunny Caramel Fudge Brownie Sundae, Vanilla or your favorite Blue Bunny flavor Decorations (such as sprinkles, cupcake skewers, cherries) To make cupcakes, preheat oven to 350°F. Place cupcake liners in cupcake pan. Sift together flour, cocoa, baking soda and salt. Set aside. In medium bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add egg and vanilla and beat well. Add flour mixture, alternating with coffee. Beat until just incorporated. Fill cupcake liners about 1/3 full to allow for ice cream. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes or until toothpick inserted comes out clean. Let cupcakes cool. Using round ice cream scoop, scoop out rounds of ice cream and set on baking sheet in freezer. Once ice cream scoops are frozen, carefully place one into each cupcake and top with fun decorations. Note: Though the recipe calls for brewed coffee, the cupcakes won’t take on its strong flavor.
Peanut Butter Sundae Parfaits
Layer Up with a Topping Station The sky’s the limit when it comes to the finishing touches of your favorite ice cream treats. Whether you’re indulging in a decadent parfait or simply dishing out a couple of scoops, it’s easy to get everyone involved in a topping soiree. A topping station is the perfect activity for birthday parties or other kid-oriented summer celebrations. Just make sure the station is easily accessible — at their level — and place each topping in its own special bowl or serving dish along with a spoon. Also, be sure to label each topping in case anyone has a food allergy, especially when serving nuts and fruits. The little ones will have a blast mixing different tastes for the perfect sweet combination. Here are some tasty topping ideas to take your ice cream topping bar to a whole new level:
Colorful sprinkles
Maraschino cherries
Icing
Mini chocolate chips
Gummy bears
Chocolate candies
Strawberry slices
Pineapple chunks
Banana chunks
Chopped pecans, peanuts or almonds
Crushed cookies
Crushed mint candies
Fruit preserves
Whipped cream
Hot fudge or caramel
Yield: 10 to 12 sundae parfaits 6 waffle or sugar cones Chocolate cake or brownies Chocolate chip cookies Blue Bunny Peanut Butter Panic Ice Cream Maraschino cherries, sprinkles or cupcake pompom topper for garnish Break up waffle cones, chocolate cake or brownies and chocolate chip cookies into bite-size pieces and place in individual containers or cupcake cups. Or use favorite cake or cookie flavors to customize. Layer ice cream, waffle cone pieces, cake pieces and cookie pieces into mini parfait glasses, or any small glass or bowl. Garnish with Maraschino cherry, sprinkles or cupcake pompom topper. Tip: Other fun mix-in ideas include pretzels, chocolate candies, marshmallows, graham crackers, fudge sauce or caramel sauce.
Mini Ice Cream Pies
Yield: 10 mini pies 2 round pie crusts, thawed 1 3 1/2-inch round cookie cutter 10 2- to 3-inch scalloped tart shells 3 cups chocolate chips Blue Bunny Bunny Tracks Ice Cream 1/2 cup chopped peanuts Preheat oven to 425°F. Roll out round pie crusts and use round 3 1/2-inch cookie cutter to cut out circles from pie dough. Round cookie cutter should be slightly larger than top of tart shell. Cut out 5 rounds from each pie crust. Grease tart shells and place pie dough rounds down into tart shells, carefully pressing dough into scalloped edges and bottom of tart shell. Pierce bottom of tart shell with fork to prevent it from baking too high. Bake tartlet shells for 8 to 9 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from oven and allow to cool before flipping out onto work surface. Melt chocolate chips in microwave-safe bowl or double broiler. Carefully dip scalloped edges of tart shells into chocolate and flip over to let cool. Scoop mini balls of ice cream into shells. Top with drizzle of warm, melted chocolate chips and garnish with chopped peanuts.

REACH SIXTH ROUND OF SPELLING BEE
Jerseyville East Elementary's third grade recently held a spelling bee. Pictured from left to right is the winner Olivia Brannan, and finalists Gaige Wock, Brooke Stockstill and Taylor Kemna who were eliminated in the competition's sixth round.
Zachary Rowling has won the designation 2013-2014 TrigStar for Jersey Community High School in competition held recently. He is the son of Patrick and Tracy Rowling from Grafton. Zachary had the second highest score and placed third in the state of Illinois in the annual Trig-Star Math Contest. A Trig-Star is a mathematics student who has demonstrated in competition that they are the most skilled among classmates in the practical application of trigonometry. The competition for the honor is a timed exercise which is the solving of a trigonometry problem that incorporates the use of right triangle formulas, circle formulas, the law of sines, and the law of cosines. The contest helps to promote careers in surveying and mapping to students at the high schools across the country. Zachary is currently a junior at Jersey Community High School. His trigonometry teacher during the competition was Lori Thurston, who has been teaching high school mathematics for more than 20 years. Heneghan and Associates, P.C., professional engineers and land surveyors, sponsored this year’s local contest. Josh Stumpe, head

‘My Healthy Heroes’ honored at JCHS Leaders lead by both words and actions, and four Jersey Community High School sophomores recognized that in winning essays this spring about their “Healthy Heroes.” BJC School Outreach and Development, in conjunction with Alton Memorial Hospital and the Alton Memorial Health Services Foundation, launched the “My Healthy Hero” essay contest with school districts around the Alton area. JCHS responded with 57 applicants. A panel of judges scored the essays according to form, clarity, personal impact, vision and values, and community impact. The winners were JCHS sophomores Emily Weishaupt, Caitlyn Hunter, Hali Shirley and Josh Yates. “We were going to pick three winners, but these four were so good that we decided to go with four,” said Erica Oliver, a community health educator with BJC School Outreach. “We wanted students to write about someone who demonstrates health behaviors in the areas of eating habits, ongoing fitness, healthy relationships, being tobacco-free, being alcohol and drug-free, and kind behaviors.” Three of the winning students wrote about their mothers and one wrote about her aunt. Emily’s aunt is Sandy Gibbons, and Emily wrote about how they share the same interests and that Gibbons “stays tobacco and drug-free, she maintains healthy relationships, and she has such a kind heart.” Caitlyn wrote about her mother, Missy Frerichs. “I am in dance now, and my mom helps me to stretch and get ready for class. She also makes me healthy meals and

keeps healthy snacks available. She pays for a membership at a gym for herself and me. She takes me there to work out three days a week.” Hali wrote about her mother, Carrie Shirley, who used to smoke cigarettes but has been tobaccofree for two years. “I look up to my mom for quitting something that was bad for her health because even though it was a difficult thing
to do, she followed through with her actions.” Josh wrote about his mother, Debbie Yates. “She has taught me how to completely respect myself as an adult and as a son to her. She has always told me to pick the right kind of friends so I wouldn’t get into trouble. I don’t know what I would do without my mom in my life.”
The four students were honored at an assembly near the end of the school year, where the essays were read and each received a framed copy of the essay plus a bag of prizes. “We also want to thank Scott Burney, the health teacher at JCHS, who encouraged all of his students to participate,” Oliver said. “They all did a wonderful job.”

HIGH SCHOOL TRACK AND FIELD ROUNDUP
Jones fourth, Davis fifth at state
Douglas Cottle/PhotoNews
Mary Claire Davis rises to clear the high jump bar during preliminary round competition at the IHSA Class 2A state championship meet Friday at O'Brien Stadium in Charleston. The Lady Panthers senior went on to finish fifth in Saturday's event finals after clearing 5 feet, 3 inches.
SAM ELLIOTT Jersey County Journal Jersey Community High School jumpers Sydney Jones and Mary Claire Davis returned from the IHSA Class 2A state championship meet with a pair of medals in tow. Jones, a junior and 10th in the triple jump last year, placed fourth in this season's Class 2A state finals while Davis capped her JCHS career by placing fifth in the high jump Saturday at O'Brien Stadium in Charleston. Jones also reached the state meet in the long jump, but her best effort of 15 feet, 7 inches, in Friday's preliminary round was outside the top-12 qualifiers for Saturday's finals. "She started with long jump and didn’t jump what she had hoped so I looked at her and said, ‘You’ve got to do what you did at [the Mississippi Valley Conference meet],’ which is when she broke back into the 36s in triple jump after struggling in the long jump," Lady Panthers head coach Megan Taake said. Jones wasn't able to hit 36 feet during the triple jump's preliminary round, but a jump of 35 feet, 2.5 inches, earned her a spot in Saturday's finals. "There were a lot of kids that were right at the low 35s," Taake
said. "We were afraid that she was going to be on the bubble so she was pretty down on herself, but Sydney’s got such a good personality that she’s not going to let a whole lot hold her down. She’s pretty confident in herself... She found out she qualified and I think things started turning around a little bit. She went into Saturday with a good attitude and it showed." Jones' jump from Friday seeded her eighth overall entering Saturday's finals, but she improved her distance by more than 1 foot and secured a fourth-place finish with an effort of 36 feet, 5.25 inches. The event's Class 2A state championship was won with a jump of 38 feet, 6.5 inches. Meanwhile, Davis was one of 16 athletes to advance out of Friday's preliminary round after clearing 5 feet, 2 inches. The qualifying height for the state finals was lowered from 5 feet, 2 inches, to 5 feet even to ensure a full field Saturday. Davis' consistent ability to clear the bar on her first attempt at each height helped her leap up the leaderboard Saturday. "Every height she jumped, she cleared on her first attempt. That’s why she was able to place so high," Taake said. "Other girls at the same height missed on their first or second try at previous heights. Being able to consistently clear
those heights definitely helped her place higher on the podium." Davis cleared 5 feet, 3 inches, on her first attempt at the height, but could get no higher, bringing her JCHS career to a close with a fifthplace finish on Illinois' largest high school track and field stage. Despite her graduation, Taake is hopeful that Davis' effect on the Lady Panthers program will continue to be felt in the coming years. "All season long, as a senior she’d go and find a younger freshman or sophomore that was jumping and nervous and I think she was very comfortable in that leadership role," the coach said. "I think she not only enjoyed placing at state, but then also getting to be somebody to look up to and show the way for our other younger kids all season." Davis and Jones' 11 combined points tied the JCHS track and field team for 24th in the Class 2A team standings. Cahokia won the team state title with 61 points. The Southwestern High School girls track and field team was represented by a group of six athletes at the Class 1A state championships in Charleston, but the Lady Piasa Birds were kept out of Saturday's event finals. Senior Lauren Jenkins capped her track and field career by competing in three events during Thursday's preliminary rounds. She

ran the 100-meter dash in 13.72 seconds and the 400-meters in 1:03.17; the last qualifying spots for Saturday's event finals were earned with times of 12.52 seconds and 59.7 seconds, respectively. Jenkins, Payton Heyen, Erin Laubscher and Lenzi Rodney shaved more than five seconds off their sectional effort as the Lady Birds ran the 4x400-meter relay in 4:14.78, but the ninth and final team to advance to the finals finished in 4:07.71.
Laubscher, Heyen, Darby Jones and Natalee Roberts ran the 4x200meter relay in 1:55.35 Thursday, but the slowest qualifying time for the finals was 1:48.12. Southwestern will send a trio of relay teams to the boys Class 1A state championships, which begins with preliminary round action Thursday at O'Brien Stadium. The Piasa Birds quartet of Ryan Goeken, Doug Grizzle, Trenton Hagen and J.P. Mueller qualified for the state championships in the 4x100,
4x200 and 4x400-meter relays out of the Carlinville Class 1A Sectional Saturday in Carlinville. The group was the sectional runner-up in the 4x400 (3:33.58) and finished third in both the 4x100 (44.26 seconds) and 4x200 (1:32.74). Led by the trio of top-three relay finishes, Southwestern placed fifth overall with 50 points at the 14-team Carlinville Sectional. New Berlin and Carlinville shared the team championship with 65 points each. selliott@campbellpublicaions.net

Lady Panthers make history
Mike Weaver/Jersey County Journal
Jersey Community High School freshman Mackenzie Thurston swings at an incoming pitch earlier this season in Jerseyville. The Lady Panthers capped their regular season with a doubleheader sweep of Springfield Southeast Saturday in Springfield, bringing their 2014 win total to a school-record 17. michaelrweaver.com
A doubleheader sweep — including 20-4 and 11-1 victories — of Springfield Southeast gave the Jersey Community High School softball team its school-recordtying and record-setting 16th and 17th wins of the season Saturday in Springfield. The Lady Panthers combined for 14 hits to score 20 runs in the opener. Mackenzie Thurston and Caitlyn Connel each went 4-for-5 with two runs batted in and three runs scored. Thurston and Ashton Tewell each hit home runs as part of three-hit games in the finale. The victories capped the Lady Panthers' 2014 regular season with a 17-15 overall record. No. 2 seed Jersey faced No. 3 Highland in a Troy Class 3A Regional semifinal Wednesday, but results were not available at press time. No. 4 Civic Memorial awaits Wednesday's winner in the regional title game, set for 11 a.m. Saturday in Troy. CM upset top-seeded Triad 4-3 Tuesday.
PANTHERS WIN NO. 22 Jake Varble needed just 76 pitches to throw a complete game and the Panthers broke open a close game with a big sixth inning offensively as the Jersey Community High School baseball team completed the second-winningest season in school history with a 10-4 victory against Collinsville Friday at the Don Snyders Sports Complex. The Panthers completed their regular season with a 22-12 record. Jordan Witt tripled and drove in two runs to spark Jersey's sixthinning scoring. In his third game back in the lineup since missing more than one month of the season due to injury, Luke Shively led the Panthers with a 3-for-4 game with a double, four RBIs and one run scored. Jersey is the No. 3 seed at the Highland Class 3A Regional and faced No. 2 Highland in a semifinal matchup Wednesday, but results were not available at press time. Wednesday's winner will face either

BIRDS EDGED IN EXTRAS The Southwestern High School baseball team beat Metro-East Lutheran 3-0 Wednesday, May 21, to reach the championship game of the Edwardsville Class 2A Regional, but it was there that the Piasa Birds ran into familiar foe Roxana and the Shells won a 4-1 decision in a pitchers' duel that went eight innings. Roxana scored off a wild pitch in the first inning, but Southwestern ace Spencer Heineman kept the Shells scoreless until they plated a trio of runs in the top of the eighth. Heineman, a 10-game winner this season, scattered seven hits and allowed just one earned run with five strikeouts and one walk in an eight-inning complete game. The Birds made it a 1-1 game in the third inning when Brendan
Schiller came home to score on a Shells error. Roxana's Nelson Martz allowed only three Southwestern hits — by Schiller, Zack Seymour and Cody Roberts — and one unearned run with 15 strikeouts and two walks. The Piasa Birds, who repeated as South Central Conference champions this season, finished the year with a 22-12 record.
LADY BIRDS CLIPPED 5-1 After upsetting No. 2 seed Gillespie 2-0 in a Gillespie Class 2A Regional semifinal Wednesday, May 21, the No. 3 Southwestern High School softball team bowed out of the postseason as top-seeded Litchfield won a 5-1 decision in the regional title game Saturday in Gillespie. Lindsey Snyder doubled to drive home the Lady Piasa Birds' lone run and Meghan Peuterbaugh led the Southwestern lineup with a 2-for-3 game. The Lady Birds finished their 2014 campaign with a 15-14 record.
