PETA puts Sea Lions show on blast following inspection report

NEWS

JOURNAL

By JARAD JARMON Jersey County Journal People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, also known as PETA, has been in the news for going after Pokémon, likening the treatment of orcas to slavery and claiming links between milk and autism, and now they have another target – the Sea Lion Splash that was recently at Raging Rivers in Grafton. In an article on their website titled “Feds Bust ‘Sea Lion Splash’ Following PETA Complaint,” it was stated that after PETA alerted U.S. Department of Agriculture officials to apparent animal welfare violations at Sea Lion Splash, the traveling exhibit that made its way to Grafton. PETA officials claim the agency issued numerous federal Animal Welfare Act citations to the “shabby outfit,” referring to an inspection report of Sea Lion Splash, LLC. “Sea Lion Splash couldn’t even meet the bare minimum standards required by federal law,” said Debbie Metzler, PETA Foundation associate director of Captive Animal Law Enforcement. “PETA encourages everyone to steer clear of this seedy show, which stores away gentle and intelligent sea lions as if they were props.” The federal report, dated April 14, noted a failure to provide the animals with enough space, inadequate testing for proper water quality and use of expired medication. The report also notes, though, that the issues had been addressed.

In the report, it was said that the facility representative was using an expired eye medication on one adult female California sea lion. It was noted though that this had been corrected by April 21, by using medications that have not expired, under the supervision of the attending veterinarian. It was also said in the report that the trailer used to house two adult female California sea lions at the fair at night and sometimes when the operator is off site contains a dry resting area that failed to meet the minimum size required. Two adult female California sea lions require 64.98 square feet of dry resting space in their primary enclosure, according to the report, so the trailer lacked 10.09 square feet of dry resting space. The issue was corrected by April 30, by housing animals in primary enclosures that provide at least the minimum amount of dry resting space for the animals within the enclosure. The report also stated that the water was not tested and supervised correctly. Monitoring pool water quality parameters correctly, and at least the minimum required frequency, is important for identifying water quality problems that could be harmful to the health and welfare of animals who use the pools. The issue had been corrected, though, by April 21, by performing water quality testing correctly and by performing such testing at at least the minimum required frequencies. (See, PETA, A2)

Ringhausen weighs in on recent accidents By CONNOR ASHLOCK Jersey County Journal Since the beginning of June, state and local authorities have reported several accidents within the county that have resulted in one fatality, one nearfatality and several serious injuries. The accidents have been largely centered in the rural regions of the county, including Route 67 near Delhi, where the fatality occurred, as well as at McClusky, Brighton and in the vicinity of the Eldred turnoff near Fieldon on the River Road. According to Jersey County Sheriff Mike Ringhausen, these types of accidents and their commonality are to be expected this time of year. Several incidents annually are one-vehicle accidents involving wildlife, mainly deer, but there are other reasons for accidents. “Some of these accidents are with deer– that’s unavoidable,” Ringhausen said. “But in my opinion, you have three reasons for accidents: impaired drivers, distracted drivers and reckless drivers.” Ringhausen described impaired drivers as those under the influence of alcohol or narcotics, distracted driving as cell phone usage, eating, putting on makeup or anything that moves focus away from the roadway and reckless

driving as impatient driving. “I’ll observe people that get frustrated at where they’re at so they pass somebody to move up in line, even in a no-passing zone,” Ringhausen explained. “They’ll punch it to fit in someplace, and they’ve almost caused an accident and really haven’t gone anywhere.” Impaired and reckless driving are big issues in the area, according to Ringhausen, which, coupled with the increased tourist traffic in the county on the weekends, has prompted him to seek additional support from the Illinois State Police. “The amount of motoring traffic we have in our county, whether it be day-to-day or due to visiting local establishments with longer hours, far exceeds the manpower I have to control it,” Ringhausen said. “I’ve gotten the Illinois State Police trying to come over and work details and help in trying to cut down the number of incidents we have, but they’re shorthanded, too.” In light of these recent accidents, as well as the increased reckless activity on the roadways, Ringhausen is asking people to be more vigilant when out driving. “‘Slow down. Be patient. Work together instead of speeding around each other,” Ringhausen said.

Jerseyville clothing boutique makes its debut By HALEY DISTERHOFT Jersey County Journal Shopping locally is becoming easier to do as more and more new businesses are popping up around town. Ivy + Blush has made a splash on the scene, giving locals a new opportunity to buy clothing and accessories outside of major department stores or the internet. The clothing store opened up last month and has already caught the interest of many Jerseyville residents. Born and raised in Jerseyville, Jamie Bechtold decided her hometown was the best place to set up her shop, which opened last month. “It’s just really always been a dream of mine. I’m a teacher too, but I’ve always been interested in fashion, and I’ve always wanted to do this,” Bechtold said. Bechtold teaches at Southwestern and started out making graphic tees on the side. As demand increased for her T-shirts, so did the itch to start a new clothing business. “I kept hearing more of a

need and finally went for my dream,” Bechtold said. This is the first venture into running a business for the mother of two, who has to juggle parenting and work on top of operating her store. “It’s definitely challenging trying to find a balance and having children and things like that,” Bechtold said. “But it’s been amazing. The support being in a small town is wonderful.” Bechtold is managing on her own, but her daughters have been a major support and inspiration for her, including naming the store. “My two girls’ birthstone colors are green and pink, so ivy and blush coordinate with those colors,” Bechtold said. “My oldest, she’s helped a lot – Grace, and then I have a couple of girls that work here as well, but, it is just me that runs it.” Bechtold is thrilled to see her dream come to life. For her, the store she always pictured in her head has become a reality. “I just got my awning last week, and I was so excited about it because that has always

been my vision.” Bechtold said. “I feel like that gave it the final touch I’ve been waiting for.” Many local residents might remember Rudolph’s clothing store, which is exactly where Ivy + Blush sits now. Bechtold believes that this is the time to bring back something that has been missing for a while in

Jerseyville. “I’ve also loved hearing people say it’s so nice to be able to shop local and not have to leave town to drive to bigger malls when needing something new. If people need a last minute outfit or even a gift, they can find it right here in Jerseyville,” Bechtold said. “I love seeing

the sidewalks busy and State Street coming to life.” Ivy + Blush offers clothing styles that range from infant to mom, and even seniors. They also offer accessories and unique gifts. “We’re really trying to provide and reach different age groups,” Bechtold said. Bechtold is happy to be a part of the influx of new businesses that have opened up around town in the last few years. “I’m excited to get to add to our small town. There’s nowhere else besides Jerseyville where I’d wanna be. I think it’s the best small town to be able to provide a small business” Bechtold said. “The people are the best and it makes coming to work not feel like work!” Most importantly, she is able to share this experience with her daughters and give them the opportunity to see where hard work can lead. “I’ve always taught my daughters to follow their dreams, and I’m so excited that I’ve been able to show them I’m following mine,” Bechtold said.

Dispute over property line over Here’s to Reading library comes to head

By CARMEN ENSINGER Jersey County Journal The dispute over the ownership of a shed placed in Kane to be used as a local library led to a call to the Greene County Sheriff’s Department to intervene in the dispute. According to Greene County Sheriff Rob McMillen, the not-for-profit group Here’s To Reading, based in Jerseyville, purchased a portable shed to be placed in Kane to be used as a library. Here’s To Reading was started by Darla and David Cavins. “They had talked to the village president and trustees, and I think there was some miscommunication as to where the village property line is,” McMillen said. “The Village told them they could put this shed next to the Village Hall right on Main Street.” However, Louis Pearce, who owns the taxidermy shop across the street, claimed he owned the property where the shed is sitting. “So, they put this shed there in 2018, and for some reason, the library never formulated into becoming something for the village, so the little building

sat empty,” McMillen said. “In the meantime, there was apparently a dispute on whether this building was situated on property owned by the village or Louis Pearce. The Village thinks it is theirs, and Pearce thinks it is his because it was on his property.” For the past three years, the shed has sat on the property and no effort was made by Here’s To Reading to move the shed – until June 16 that is. “Basically, the shed was just sitting there in limbo for all that time,” McMillen said. “Then, the Cavinses decided they wanted to come get the building,” McMillen said. “They made contact with the Village to tell them they were going to come and get it.” In the meantime, Pearce, who had thought the building had been sitting on his property, decided to store his stuff in the building. “He assumed that since it was on what he assumed was his property that it became his property,” McMillen said. “The people showed up on the 16th with the company they bought the building from to remove the building from the property and haul it back to their place in

Jerseyville, and there was a dispute between the owner, who showed me documented proof they owned the building with a bill of sale, and Mr. Pearce, who said he owned it because it was on his property.” McMillen said that Pearce had cut off the original lock that was placed on the building and replaced it with his own lock. He had also stored personal items in the building. “Pearce removed a few items out of the building but refused to get the rest of the property out of the building,” McMillen said. “We inventoried what was in the building for record keeping purposes, but they did give him the opportunity to remove the items before they moved the building, but he indicated he didn’t want to.” McMillen said while they don’t usually get involved in property disputes, they did in this case. “We basically just kept the peace down there until this group could remove the building from the property it was situated on,” he said. “They clearly had the bill of sale as proof of ownership. The dispute over the property line is something for another agency to handle.”

wireless microphone system that students wear on stage – 24 new wireless microphones to be exact. This work to the sound system actually inspired the work to the lighting. Work has not really been needed on the auditorium because of the relatively young age of facility, but some equipment is aging. “We started there (with lighting), and then we started realizing we need to get some upkeep on the curtains and a few things in regard to that, and then that led to the conversation about lighting,” Beauchamp said. Outside of the play and the musical, the auditorium stays busy whether that is with band or elementary and middle school programs. “The room is busy almost the whole year,” Beauchamp said. “It is going to help a lot of different things.”

Sprinkle with nuts. Cover with the plastic cover the pie shell came in, inverted. Refrigerate for at least three hours or overnight.

How easy is that? When Eileen said this was her “version” of Million Dollar Pie, I wondered what other versions are out there. I googled it, and found quite a few different ways to make Million Dollar Pie. Some call for sweetened condensed milk, some have coconut. After looking them over, I think I would like the above version the best. One thing I did see when looking at all the recipes, is to garnish the pie with maraschino cherries. That would look pretty on

the above pie! I am one of those people who avoid chopping onions as much as possible. I cry copious amounts of tears if I am even near an onion being chopped. I read this hack for chopping onions without tears and it really worked! Freeze the onion for 15 to 20 minutes, then place on a cutting under your range hood with the fan on, and start chopping away! Now, to be honest, my eyes still smarted a little bit, but no tears.
