JOURNAL

By JARAD JARMON Jersey County Journal Protesters and counter protesters Sunday may have been divided in their opinions, but they were united — for the most part — in a commitment to peace.

The Jerseyville Black Lives Matter protesters descended on the lawn on the Jersey County Courthouse on Flag Day. This was in response, like other protests across the country, to the death of George Floyd. Floyd, a black man, died shortly after an incident in Minneapolis, Minn., where a white police officer, Derek Chauvin, kneeled on Floyd’s neck for several minutes.

Shortly after these protesters gathered Sunday, they were met with a smaller group of counterprotesters.

It was loud, and at times contentious between the two groups, but when the moment had come to put a close to the three-hour-long demonstration, the assembly of people on the lawn and along the sidewalks of the Jersey County Courthouse block ended the protest in unity and prayer.

Jersey County Sheriff Mike Ringhausen called upon Reverend Brent Meyer at the First Baptist Church to finish out the evening with a prayer — a prayer that saw respectful silence among the crowd on a day that had many roaring chants and counters.

“I can’t think of a more fitting end,” Ringhausen said. “…It was a time when every-

one came together as one… It couldn’t be more perfect.”

There was concern among protesters and those in the community that the event would turn violent as some have across the country, but Sunday’s protest was not that.

In fact, at some moments, it was the opposite. There were no altercations during the event, but beyond that there were moments of togetherness between protesters and counter protesters.

Ringhausen said he witnessed moments of unity between protesters and counter protesters alike even during the event, noting when a counter protester had handed off a large cup of water to one of the protesters.

Following the protests, there was even hand-shaking between both sides of the divide, which in this case was Washington Street and Pearl Street.

And from the perspective of the sheriff and organizers, the event went well.

“I was happy that this many people showed up to Jerseyville, because a lot of people were scared. It was way more than I thought,” Laylhany Davis, organizer of the protest, said. “…I feel like this protest is going to help with future protests, because if we are not violent, I am pretty sure we do not have to be violent anywhere else.”

Despite the air of non-violence over the event, there was still tension among the two opposing groups that showed up.

A smattering of vehicles

adorned with large Trump and Confederate flags took periodic trips past the protesters, often stirring the crowd. There was also a moment in which a protester went over to the counter protester side and vice versa, but responses remained nonviolent.

Protesters started arriving around the courthouse square around 4 p.m. that day, and shortly after the crowd grew, chants heard in newsfeeds across the country were voiced locally.

They hollered a rotation of chants such as “Black lives matter,” “I can’t breathe,” “Show me what democracy looks like, this is what democracy looks like” and “No justice, peace, no racist police.”

This rotation was only interrupted a couple of times for speeches from organizers and figures such as Democratic Senator Dick Durbin and a nearly 9-minute moment of silence — the length of time the officer had his knee on Floyd’s neck.

Durbin pointed to Davis’s previous protests for the inspiration for his attendance.

“I was invited, and I’m glad I came,” he said. “I think Laylhany Davis has really set the right responsible tone in Edwardsville, when the counter protestors came out. She told everybody, ‘We are going to be peaceful.’”

During his speech, Durbin spoke of the work he planned to do ahead, which included help(See, PROTEST, A2)

By JARAD JARMON Jersey County Journal For Jackie Smith, it was not herself but God that spurred the group of locals and area faithful to the Jersey County Courthouse steps Saturday.

Smith, along with a couple dozen others, met at the courthouse steps Saturday morning to pray for peace ahead of the Black Lives Matter protest scheduled the day after. Leading up to the day itself, the protest drew concern among many that the event could turn violent, as others across the country have — whether from protestors or those in opposition to the demonstrations.

And in what was a calling from the “big man upstairs,” Smith organized a prayer meeting for people to come together, and call on God to ensure the protest was safe.

“The Lord’s word says when two or more are gathered in His name, He is in their midst,” Smith said.

Her role in the meeting that day was not one she was accustomed to. She had never really spoken in public like this before — or at least in a long time. But, she knew it was something God laid on her heart to do.

“I think it’s exciting that God used me like that, because I have never done anything like that,” Smith said. “That was God up there, not me, because I would have been a big chicken and a basket case.”

She, along with Pastor Todd Shaw of the Beltline Christian Center in Alton, were among those who spoke at the prayer meeting — with a general theme and hope of peace.

“There is a protest coming up, Lord, and I ask that you please have your hand on this protest,” Smith prayed. “We ask for peace and understanding. Lord, I ask that anyone with any sort of ill intent to cause any issues — Lord, keep them from this.

“It is hard not to let ourselves get consumed with anxiety and fear, but God didn’t give us the spirit of fear, but of power and love and a sound mind. In times like these when things feel so hopeless like we are being beat over the head with fear, we need to remember that God is still in control.”

It was not only those two that went up to the microphone that day. Olin Hill, a Jerseyville resident, did not intend speaking but felt moved to say something.

“He has called the church to pray, and that is why we have gathered here today — to pray, and I want to be a part of that prayer,” Hill said. “Prayer is very essential for us today.”

He prayed for protection of the city during this and all times.

“We ask you, Lord, for divine protection over this city Lord,” Hill said. “… I pray, God, the blood of Jesus Christ will cleanse, Lord, and change the hearts, Lord, of those that come in this area, Lord.”

canceled this year

By CONNOR ASHLOCK Jersey County Journal The Illinois Department of Natural Resources announced on June 15 that it would be canceling all waterfowl blind drawings in the state, citing COVID-19 restrictions.

“Pursuant to the IDNR’s administrative rules as authorized under the Illinois Wildlife Code, hunters must be physically present to claim their blind if their name is drawn,” an IDNR statement read. “The drawings, typically held in June and July, frequently draw attendance in the hundreds or thousands, which has the potential to violate social distancing and crowd size requirements.”

Originally, in response to coronavirus restrictions, the blind drawings were rescheduled for the month of August, but an established date was never set.

The canceling of the blind draws throughout the state comes just a week after Gov. JB Pritzker, by executive order, canceled the Illinois

and DuQuoin state fairs over COVID-19 concerns.

The Jersey County Journal reached out to IDNR for questions regarding whether the current administration is considering imposing any COVID-related hunting mandates, but those could not be answered at the time of publication.

A statement was released from IDNR late last week, though, about the status of blind draws before they were officially canceled, but it only stated that “IDNR will continue to work closely with the governor’s office and the Illinois Department of Public Health to monitor the situation, reassessing throughout the summer.”

Undoubtedly, there are mixed feelings regarding this decision. There are some who were looking forward to redeeming themselves with a better spot, while others breathe a sigh of relief as it appears they get to hold on to their coveted blind for another season.

More information will be released as soon as it is available.

County recycling program could see changes

By JARAD JARMON Jersey County Journal County leaders are mulling over what to do with the recycling program — a program that has seen more than its share of issues lately.

The recycling program has been shut down for three months because of the COVID-19 pandemic and the guidelines associated with it, but there are no plans to return back to normal under the current system.

“I think we need to look at a better way of doing things,” said Mark Wagner, chairman of the committee that oversees the recycling program among other services.

Wagner noted the goal is not to scrap the recycling program as a whole, but instead to find different, more efficient and financially prudent means to salvage the program. It is understood the program is important to the community, but there are

Protest

(Continued from A1) ing to pass legislation banning choke holds, addressing accountability in court, changing standards for police immunity, implementing a registry of police and establishing an anti-lynching law.

“The national mood is very strong,” Durbin said of the legislation. “It really comes down to whether the Republicans in the Senate would support us.”

Although there were those that came into the community from surrounding areas, there were many that were local including Claude Sylling of Jerseyville. Sylling himself, who was excited for the protest, was pleasantly surprised by the turnout of locals.

Sylling was out that evening in a show of support for police accountability.

“Police need to be held accountable for their actions,” Sylling said. “Citizens are accountable for their actions, and police should be held to a higher standard because of the oath that they take.”

Despite his opinions on the current state of policing, he was appreciative of the police presence at the protest.

“I am thankful that the police department is here to protect us,” he said.

Numerous officers were stationed all across the courthouse square that required a larger detail of officers than would normally be on duty, Ringhausen said, but it was necessary to be ready should a volatile situation have rapidly developed. Grafton, Jerseyville and state police along with those from the Illinois Department of Natural Resources were on scene to assist.

Although from a different perspective, Jenny Lavite of Jerseyville was also out Sunday evening because of the police. Lavite stood on the other end of Pearl and N Washington Street with a “Blue Lives Matter” sign held high for passersby and protestors to see as show of support for police officers like her cousin.

“I am just here supporting the local police officers,” Lavite said.

Also among the crowd of counter protesters was Robert Lemasters of Jerseyville.

Lemasters did not have inten-

issues with the program that need to be addressed, Wagner said.

The work on the program has taken a backseat though as the county works to address other more pressing issues in the area.

Wagner said there are hopes something would be in place by September. The Jersey County Board will be addressing the issue regarding the recycling center, possibly at their July meeting.

“There have been some calls from the public, finally, on the issue of the recycling center,” Jersey County Chairman Don Little said. “I would like to discuss that in July and make that decision whether we want to continue recycling or not.

“There have been some issues out there regarding the center — bordering on more hassle than it is worth. The recycling market has gone down hill to nearly nothing, and I frankly don’t know if it is worth it anymore.”

tions of attending the protest.

He passed by to get food with his family. But, an interest to hear what those demonstrating had to say spurred him to stop, listen and eventually voice counters to their protest.

“Being accosted and hearing the chant of ‘black lives matter’ and nothing else — it is bothersome to me,” Lemasters said. “It is unreal. That is racist. Everybody matters.

These gentlemen over here doing their job matter (pointing to the police officers).”

He took issue with the focus on the incidents like that of George Floyd’s and not the lives of others lost to police or the police themselves who have died — calling those on the courthouse lawn onesided in their approach.

“I agree things have gotten out of hand as far as abuse by certain law enforcement, but one bad apple doesn’t mean you cut down the whole orchard,” he said.

The protest drew in all kinds of people, including families. Amanda Crabtree of Jerseyville, her fiancé, Ali Walters, and her children Xander Warren, 16, and Eddy, 4, were among the many chanting Sunday “enough is enough.”

“I have been living in this

town off and on most of my life, and I have always had to be silent,” Crabtree said. “…I was afraid to say anything to anyone who would use racial slurs and things like that…I am not afraid anymore. My son is 4 and I have a 16-year-old, and I can’t let them see me be silent. That is not OK. There needs to be a new future for our kids and all kids. It’s got to change somehow, so, if that means I have to bring my 4-year-old to protest, that is what I am going to do. This is when it matters.”

For Walters, there is no more important time than childhood to learn one’s rights and one’s civic duty in order to hold up democracy.

“Without teaching our children to have a voice, our future has no voice,” she said.

Davis has said this is not the end, but the beginning of future discussions and protests in the region. She noted the more important fight will take place in November.

“If you are going to be 18 this year, please vote,” Davis said. “Our votes determine our futures.”

Another protest is being organized in Grafton. Details have not been set as of press time.

Jerseyville, Illinois

Prayer (Continued from A1) The idea to organize this event rested on Smith’s heart for a while when she heard a protest would take place in town.

“I drug my feet for a good week,” she said.

Pastor Shaw said these moments are often laid at the feet of people, but some like Smith take that next step.

“I think a lot us have sometimes an idea or a desire to help, but it takes something special to say I am going to take it the next step,” Shaw said.

Smith saw the violence that was being reported in the news and the incidents that inspired them like that of the death of George Floyd. It was all overwhelming.

“It broke my heart,” she said.

And leading up to the event, Smith, who works in a hair salon locally, got first-hand insight on the fear and the

anger people had toward the demonstration taking place in Jerseyville.

“I heard how scared people were, how mad people were,” she said.

She believed the community needed to turn to God for guidance and protection. And those in attendance were in agreement.

Friends Olin Hill, Kenny Grizzle and Gary Goode were among those in attendance.

“We came out for one reason — for our father almighty Lord Jesus and Holy Spirit to put and bind any evil, like they said, and keep it away from here, because this is a loving community,” Grizzle said.

“I really am confident that this will be a witness to the nation — I really hope so,” Grizzle later said. “If there is trouble, it is not coming from here — even from our brothers in surrounding areas.”

Jackie Smith speaks during a prayer meeting Saturday.

Shaw stated they were all out there, though, because of God’s will.

“You’ve seen us through wars. You have seen us through sicknesses before. You've seen us through a great many things, and here we stand today,” he prayed. “Here we are because, Lord God, you have willed it to happen… It is your desire that we are standing here today.”

A late night house fire, which claimed the lives of two Jerseyville individuals on Friday, June 4, is still under investigation by the state fire marshal. Louis Pukelis, communications director for the fire marshal’s office, said earlier Wednesday morning that the the probable cause of the fire was a failure in the electrical system but stressed that the cause is still pending final examination from the electrical engineer. Pukelis also noted that from the information the fire marshal’s office has received, there were no working smoke detectors present.

Veteran organizations throughout the area have joined forces recently to raise money for the Fisher House, which is being constructed in St. Louis to provide lodging for families of hospitalized veterans or military members. Jerseyville American Legion Commander Larry Lung said that thanks to the combined efforts of his post as well as the Grafton American Legion Post, the Eldred American Legion Post, AMVETS and the Marine Corps League, they were able to collect $7,814.16 to help offset the cost of construction of the Fisher House.

Jerseyville, Illinois

Riots reminds me of time dealing with them TO THE EDITOR: Watching the recent riots on TV brought back memories.

On Friday the 13th of August 1965, I was a 10 year military veteran with four years overseas duty and then a member of a National Guard unit that was activated during the California Watts riots. My unit was based in Compton California almost in the heart of the uprisings. Reporting for duty was an event in itself, with angry crowds, looting and sometimes even firing at my vehicle as I drove thru the area. Upon arrival I was assigned a team and we were loaded into 6by’s and an M1 Carbine was slapped into our hands..We were

then trucked to a small shopping center and I was told to spread my team out and guard the area.. Groups of shouting and cursing rioters wandered through the shopping center but GIs standing in front of most of the stores brandishing M1s was a bit of a deterent so for the moment we were not confronted.

However one of my men came up to me and said,“Sarge where is the ammo? All our clips are empty.�

In the hurry up to be put into action, ammo was not issued or perhaps it was a planned decision from those in charge to keep anyone from being actually shot.. “What should we do?� My men asked.

My Answer was “Fix bayonets.�

It worked.

Progress being made in Delhi Bypass project

By JARAD JARMON Jersey County Journal A letter of understanding between the County and the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) regarding the New Delhi Bypass that was accepted during the Jersey County Board meeting last week bodes well for those who have been waiting for the project to start.

It has been a point of community discussion for years, and it appears the day people will start seeing work done to install the bypass is closer than one might think.

Specifically, the letter spells out an understanding between the county and IDOT that the state will be making improvements out in that area, while also stipulating that the work will be done at the cost of the state and not the city.

This is a typical process for IDOT; however, it does indicate the project is on the right track, Jersey County Engineer Tom Klasner said.

It was noted that the bid letting for the project, which is the opening of bid proposals for highway construction and maintenance projects, is expected to start in August.

As part of the overall scope of the project, the bypass is expected to hit a couple of connection points to existing county road, and state crews will be making improve-

ments to existing county and township roads. The letter of understanding allows the state to make those improvements, while also clarifying the county will not bear any of those costs. “Improvements that need to be made to county highways; they will take care of them,� Klasner said. “IDOT has designed them according to what the requirements that we request here at the county.

They have to make improvements to Delhi Road and N Stagecoach Road, which also changes to Rangeline Road.�

The speculation regarding the completion of the Delhi Bypass has been a longstanding discussion in Jersey County as the bypass represents the next phase of the 255/67 extension project.

Also at the Jersey Board meeting, the county board OK’d picking up some of the cost associated with addressing pipe culverts in the English and Mississippi Township.

The board approved two petitions for aid to replace culverts with new 42-inch pipe

culverts at Hickory Log Road and Joe Knight Road.

For large diameter pipe culverts, and in some cases bridges, townships can petition for aid from the county to help pay for the replacement.

The township is responsible for half of the overall cost after the completion of the project. The county picks up the other half.

When those in the township see that a culvert is in bad shape and starting to fail, they will prompt the county to assess it and see if it is a candidate for replacing. “A majority of the time, it needs to be replaced,�

Klasner said. “Typically, the bottom of the culvert has rusted out. These are old metal pipe culverts that have been in the ground probably anywhere from 40-50 years and they are at the end of their useful life and they need to be replaced.�

The cost of each project is approximately $4,600 and $4,200 respectively with the cost shared equally between the township and the county.

Name: Maj. Victoria Hargrave Town: Jerseyville Your job title: Family nurse practitioner with the army and Jersey Community Hospital Why you were nominated: I have been deployed to Stamford Hospital in Stamford, Conn., to aid in pandemic relief by working with COVID patients.

Why you are doing this: As a nurse practitioner, helping others

is what I do and is my nature! When the army called me to deploy for COVID pandemic relief, I will admit I was very nervous as we didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know much about the virus in the beginning. But, as a healthcare provider, I knew my skill set was much needed and I was honored to help care for the citizens of the United States even though the sacrifices I would be making were high.
