Heroes Hunting veterans return to hunt in Grafton By ANNETTE MARSHALL Jersey County Journal After a pause in 2020 because of COVID-19, Grafton resident Steve Bell welcomed back Heroes Hunting Foundation (HHF), a foundation based in Iowa, whose mission is to get combat veterans of all theaters into the outdoors as therapy. “I was sitting at FS waiting for a fertilizer buggy, when for some reason, ‘Wounded Warriors’ popped into my head,” said Bell, explaining how he initially made contact with the organization. “I grabbed my phone, and Patrick’s [Perkins, Heroes Hunting cofounder] number was the first thing that popped up.” Besides allowing the organization to use his property, Bell personally guides the hunts for the veterans that come. Bell finds it is a way to give back to those who served the country, as well as honor the memory of his own relatives who have served in combat – particularly an uncle who served in WWII, and did not speak of his war experience until two days before his death. Hunting this year were Josh Bujalski of Bluegrass, Iowa, and

Chris Metsker of Muncie, Ind. They were joined by Perkins and HHF Pro Staff Member Tony Smith, who is also a combat veteran. Bujalski, a Marine Corps veteran who served from 2004-2012, said he fell into hunting later in life, not starting until he was 18. Bujalski, who is currently a canine police officer, said he connected with HHF through their Facebook page, as well as visiting their booth at the Iowa Deer Classic. Bujalski was motivated to join the military “after 9-11 happened.” “I was a sophomore in high school when that happened – so I didn’t want to be a couch potato and sit at home and not do anything, didn’t want to go to college right away, so I was like, ‘You know what, I’m just going to join the military and go do something,’” he said. “In my younger years, it was the best eight years of my life, until getting married and having kids. I’m 35 years old and have been to 12 different countries and have seen the world.” With one country came a particularly memorable and moving experience. (See, RETURN, A2)

By JARAD JARMON Jersey County Journal Wock Lake is overflowing with fish, at least metaphorically speaking, based on data gleaned from the lake’s first and only population survey, which was conducted a couple of weeks ago. Tad Locher and Blake Ruebush with the Illinois Department of Natural Resources (IDNR) took a boat on to Wock Lake to survey the types of fish in the lake and how big they are. From the information the two gathered on the water, the fish ecosystem at Wock Lake seems to be in good shape. “Overall, the fish population looks really good, especially for a public pond that is easily accessible all the way around,” Ruebush, IDNR district fisheries biologist, said. “Sometimes, when fishing access is challenging, then people don’t harvest as many fish. For a pond that you can walk around and easily get to, it has a really good fish population. “I was actually kind of surprised how good of fish were in there, especially the channel catfish.” Ruebush said they surveyed 111 fish. Of that lot, they found channel catfish, sampled up to 5 pounds and in good numbers; bluegill at 6-and-a-half inches and in good numbers; largemouth bass up to 16 inches and 2 pounds; red-ear sunfish at 9 inches and koi and hybrid sunfish. “I would say that it is a balanced fish population. It looks really good,” Ruebush said. The boat they took along the shoreline was adorned with a few wooden rods with thick wiring dangling from the ends. The rods were attached to a generator that was intended to shock the water so that the two could survey the fish populations in the lake, measuring them for both weight and length.

“When we use the electro fishing boat, it simply stuns the fish for just a quick second,” Rubush said. “It allows us a chance to dip them up and put them in a tank with air stones and oxygen in the water to keep the fish happy. Once we are done with the work, then we release them.” Ruebush noted that they surveyed along the shoreline to more easily collect fish, especially as many are spawning in the shallow waters. “We typically focus on the shoreline, simply because we can push fish up against the bank because it is easier to collect them,” he said. Shocking out in deeper water, fish tend to go further down and they never see them. They saw roughly 5 percent of what was in the water May 27, but the data still gives a picture to what else lurks in the lake. Generally, such data from a survey is used to set rules for bodies of water and notably the fishing that can be done. “It is a good way to evaluate what’s going on,” Ruebush explained. “Oftentimes, we will go to a lake or a pond, and find that it needs to have a regulation put in place or needs to have fish stocked or maybe there is a need for some kind of fish habitat to be added to a lake.” As far as what is to be done at Wock Lake: “As of right now, the city handles the lake as they see fit,” Ruebush explained. “If the Department of Natural resources were to develop a cooperative management agreement with the city, then we would be able to come up with some ideas as far as regulations.” Void of water-body-specific rules, regulations default to state guidelines, which only impact one of the fish, the largemouth bass – only six can be fished per day.

Local gets chance to umpire Olympic team’s games By JARAD JARMON Jersey County Journal It has always been about the love of the softball and its connection to his daughters, but even still, Glenn Vetter, of Elsah Township, was honored by the opportunity he received to umpire international teams ahead of their Olympic debut. Vetter, a Jersey County umpire who also serves as the Elsah Township Road Commissioner, has been assigned by USA Softball of Illinois to umpire softball games involving the Canadian Olympic team, which is ranked No. 3 in the world, and the Netherlands Olympic team on June 16-18 at Rent One Park in Marion, Ill. “This is a true honor and the culmination of lots of support from family, friends and mentors,” Vetter said. The Canadian team, along with other international teams, come to the US to play to ensure they are practicing against other professional caliber teams ahead of the Olym-

pics. “It’s a practice period against the same type of caliber of teams that Canada will play in Japan,” Vetter explained. “Also, it is easy for countries like the Netherlands and the others to get into the US to play instead of just going to Canada and playing Canada by itself.” In these games, USA Softball of Illinois is responsible for providing the umpiring. Because each game requires three umpires, Vetter was one of several chosen to officiate a game, an opportunity, he says, which was beyond anything he'd had before. “This is, by far, one of the highest bars I have reached,” Vetter said. This is not to say he had not tackled many other high-profile softball games and tournaments. Vetter has umpired since 1975, with a break of about 12 years where he coached his daughters and other girls in softball, before taking up umpiring again. He has worked on nice fields

before, including that of the USA Softball Hall Of Fame Stadium, where the national USA Softball headquarters is located. He has umpired national tournaments. He has done men’s fast pitch, slow pitch, youth ball and adult ball. His experience on the field actually qualified him for this latest opportunity.

“With this type of experience and training, that’s how I came out to be assigned to this opportunity, which is just fantastic,” Vetter said. But his past time on the field was never something like this. “I will probably never see the Olympics...It is a special thing to be able to do that,” Vetter said. While his scheduled game is still coming up, Vetter has already gotten on the field as a part of these practice games ahead of the Olympics. He replaced one of the umpires on opening night on May 28. At that game, although at another level from what he is used to, Vetter was ready and focused – a mindset that was required, especially in these games. “I don’t like to call it stress. I like to call it focus,” he said. “You really got to be focused. Every pitch means something and can be something. You have to know where you got to be if the ball is hit here or there or if a runner is stealing or what the runners are doing.”

Stress, in particular, can be a major distraction. “This level of ball requires a great deal of focus. If you start stressing about it, you are going to mess it up,” Vetter said. Thinking about the game, like any other he has umpired, it always brings him back to his time coaching for his daughters. “The reason I love it is it is like being back with my daughters and the girls I used to coach,” Vetter said. Each time, he is transported to his time on the field with his three daughters, Betsy, Emily and Sarah. It is the reason he continues to umpire when he will be 68 years old in the year. “Although these ladies (referring to the Olympic teams) – they don’t know me from Adam – I have more of a contact with them than they have with me,” Vetter said. His next game, the one he was assigned to, will be next week, but it certainly will not be the last on the field. (See, UMPIRE, A2)

Jersey pedestrian dies after being struck by vehicle

JERSEY COUNTY

JOURNAL

By JARAD JARMON Jersey County Journal A local pedestrian has died after being struck by a car as she was walking alongside a Jersey highway Thursday. Illinois State Police reported that the pedestrian, Sarah R. Allen, 38, of Jerseyville, was walking northbound on Illinois Route 3 south of Heafner Drive, off to the right side of the roadway at the time of the collision. Cindy D. Zimmerman, 26, of Godfrey, was traveling northbound on Illinois Route 3 south of Heafner Drive. “For unknown reasons, (Zimmerman) went off the right side of the road and struck the pedestrian,” the report from

state police read. Following the crash, Zimmerman was transported to an area hospital with injuries. Illinois Route 3 was closed for approximately 4 hours during the crash investigation. The crash remains under investigation, and no further information is being released at this time. Jarad Jarmon/Jersey County Journal

Return (Continued from A1) “We got stuck in Okinawa, Japan, for a year on one of my deployments. Some of us got to go to Iwo Jima and got to go walk and go to the top of Mt. Suribachi and see the Japanese memorial and see the American Memorial up there from the battle of Iwo Jima.” Bujalski continued, “To me that was an experience because of seeing Clint Eastwood’s movie ‘Flags of our Fathers.’ Now, there’s a paved road that you can take to walk up to the top, but watching that movie and seeing what they had to go through back in the ‘40s, going up the side of that (Mt. Suribachi) with gunfire and that, it was just a humbling experience.” Like Bujalski, Army veteran Chris Metsker was also motivated by 9-11 to join the military, and also got into hunting later in life. “I was a freshman when 9-11 happened, and that’s when I made up my mind. I was going to do it,” Metsker said. “Nobody in my family hunts, I always wanted to...I started when I was 19.” Metsker not only connected with the HHF via Facebook, but also personally knew Pro Staff member Tony Smith, as they both attended the same high school. “We lived in the same town, have a lot of the same friends. One of the guys I worked with knew that I was a veteran and saw that they had an upcoming hunt for turkey, so he tagged me in it, so I put my name in,” said Metsker. Despite a sketchy weather forecast, Mother Nature cooperated on Saturday, April 17, and both hunters were able to take a turkey, with Metsker bagging his first one ever. ‘COMMUNITY OUTPOURING OF SUPPORT’ But Bell is quick to point out that many people work behind the scenes to put together a successful experience for the veterans when they come to Grafton. Fellow Grafton resident Michael Hardwick has worked with Bell for the last two hunts, pitching in to guide a hunt so an extra hunter could come along, and offering up property for the guys to fish on after their hunts. Hardwick also helped organize a fish fry and raffle at Grafton American Legion Friday evening, April 16, where over $1,000 was raised and donated to HHF, which included a $300 donation from Sievers Equipment in Greenfield. Raffle baskets were donated by local residents and businesses. Additionally, Ryan Decker from RTD Turkey Calls, Chris Hespen of Pere Mar-

quette State Park and Bruce Olmstead, Grafton American Legion Commander, were recognized by the foundation at the fish fry. As in years past, hunting licenses and fees were covered by the Illinois Department of Natural Resources. Lodging costs for hunters and staff were covered by Friends of Pere Marquette State Park this year. “It’s just been a community outpouring of support,” Bell said. However, Bell would like to see more landowners around the area stepping up to allow HHF to use their land so more veterans can get out to hunt. Bell noted that Jersey and the surrounding counties are rich with hunting and fishing

opportunities. “I’ve been asking people to [host] for five years,” a frustrated Bell said. “Michael [Hardwick] is the only person who has stepped up.” Hardwick’s service to HHF is inspired by his own family connection to a combat veteran “...for me bringing a smile, a laugh, a successful hunt, spending time in the outdoors, just being able to let go, means the world to me. Just to make a difference in a person’s life. Just one person, if I could just make a difference for one person [soldier] I would be able to say I made a difference.” Smith said HHF is grateful for those private landowners who have offered up their property.

“One, some states have issue with ‘guided hunts’ on public land, and two, things are just better with landowners. They usually know what’s on their property and how it moves, and any help we can get to ensure a high probability of success for the vets is great,” he explained. “The landowners we work with have all volunteered their time and land, and are incredibly gracious and welcoming,” Smith went on to say. “It’s fairly hard to put into words what the hunts do for all involved. There are so many moving parts from working with the IL DNR to landowners to veterans to the park to now working with the local VFW, and then of course working for a goal of harvest,” Perkins said of this year’s hunt. “Veterans from multiple theaters and ages coming together with a common bond is beyond priceless. Watching it all come together this year left me pretty speechless at times, just watching. Each year leaves you anxious for the next,” he added.

Maybe biosafety labs need more oversight T

he Wuhan Institute of Virology is certainly getting a lot of attention these days. It is a Biosafety Level 4 Laboratory – commonly referred to as “BSL-4” – where scientists are trained and equipped to study the most dangerous pathogens in the world. There is reason to believe that some of these BSL-4 labs, including Wuhan, have been conducting “gain of function” experiments that enhance the abilities of a particular pathogen to become more contagious. Whether there was a leak at the Wuhan facility and whether it was the result of a gain of function experiment remains to be seen although an increasing number of credible experts, such as Bret Weinstein, Nicholas Wade and Richard Ebright, think it is more probable than not that a leak of an enhanced coronavirus did occur there. The BSL-4 laboratories are handling the most dangerous pathogens known to man. If you think COVID-19 has been a disaster, just be glad we are not dealing with a world-wide epidemic involving Ebola, smallpox or anthrax. The truth is that we really don’t know the extent to which personnel at these labs are experimenting with these pathogens. Here’s my question: how many BSL-4 labs are there world-wide and what is being done to monitor these gain of function experiments and potential leaks, such as may have occurred at the Wuhan facility? Let’s start with the US. There are currently eight BSL-4 labs in the US. They are located at Atlanta; Fort Detrick, Md.; Fort Collins, Colo.; Bethesda, Md.; Boston; Galveston; San Antonio and Hamilton, Mont. An additional facility is currently being constructed in Manhattan, Kan. So just how safe are these US facilities? Well, our most

important BSL-4 lab, at Fort Detrick, had an internal audit in 2019 that resulted in a partial lockdown for months due to seven protocol violations. And we do know there have been protocol breaches in the past. My assumption is that generally, these BSL-4 labs in the US are relatively safe, and uniformly monitored, but who knows for sure? The bigger elephants in the room are the BSL-4 labs in other countries. Worldwide, there are 39 BSL-4 labs that we know of in addition to those in the US. Two more facilities are currently being constructed in the Philippines and Singapore. And this number does not include what might be lurking in North Korea and Iran or for that matter, in China and Russia. In other words, we have a lot of labs out there handling dangerous stuff. If you are wondering how bad it can get, consider the Russian experiments with bioweapons during the Cold War. At that time, they were conducting gain of function experiments with smallpox and anthrax in eastern Russia at a secret facility on a island in the Aral Sea. They were attempting to develop biological weapons that were resistant to antibiotics and vaccines but things went horribly wrong. If you never heard of the Aral Sea, that may be because it is no longer safe to go there, thanks in part to those Russian gain of function “experiments.” I don’t have room here for details, but if interested, google “Aralrk 7” or “Vozrozhdeniya Island” and see for yourself how a modern day “Frankenstein” got out of control. Today, the Russian BSL-4 lab is located in Koltsovo, Siberia. The lab is known as the State Center for Research and Virology or “Vector” for short. They have anthrax, smallpox and Ebola samples

When will the lumber prices go back down to normal? By the end of this year. I could see it get back to normal within the next couple of months. It will probably be next year. I don’t think it will ever really go down.

on hand at this facility. Just how safe is this facility? Who really knows? What we do know is that there was an explosion and resulting fire at that facility in 2019. We are told that the fire was not in the same room as where the smallpox virus is stored. Truth is, we have no ability to confirm for ourselves what really happens at facilities like Vector. So what can we do about the potential spread of another pathogen due to a leak at a BSL-4 laboratory? Obviously, work being done at BSL-4 labs here in the US can be monitored and gain of function experiments should be supervised to reduce the risk of a leak. As to foreign labs, if we are contributing funds to help construct and run those facilities, we should insist on being able to monitor the work being done in those facilities and to defund some of the gain of function experiments now being done there. Realistically, there is not much we can do about rogue nations and their labs. For those issues, we must better prepare our own defenses for a potential outbreak. We certainly have had enough recent experience with pandemics to know that we need to get on this before it happens again. ––––––––––––––– Q Bill Hoagland has practiced law in Alton for more than 50 years, but he has spent more than 70 years hunting, fishing and generally being in the great outdoors.

Words to live by: “The power of one, if fearless and focused, is formidable, but the power of many working together is better.”

– Gloria Macapagal Arroyo

For most of my life, I have owned dogs. For several years, I even sold dogs, or rather traded pups for guns. My wife preferred cash. I preferred Ruger. But after years of doing that, I found it was much easier to care for one beast rather than two or more. When I think about those dogs, I think about how each was different from the other and how some just seemed smarter. For instance, I think my present dog is probably the smartest dog I’ve ever had, even though at times I utter “dumb dog” under my breath when he startles me with his bark. He’s a shelter mutt who has lived with us for several years. He has learned many commands and will even moan like he’s trying to talk. He loves being right in the middle of everything going on and has learned that if he hangs around long enough, some other member of my family – not me – will throw him a table scrap. So, you can imagine the obstacle he can be when people start moving to the kitchen. I know, if you’re a dog lover, you, too, have stories about the brilliance of your

Benji. You feel like he or she can read your mind to know just what you are thinking. But, as you know, that’s impossible. Not only can our dog not read our mind, but we can’t read Benji’s mind either. Nor can we read another human’s mind. That’s just outside of our ability. But as I remind myself of this, another truth rises to the front. One that suddenly becomes something rare – even miraculous. The Apostle Paul discloses it this way. He says, “But we have the mind of Christ.” What!? You mean me? You mean that other Christian who struggles so much? You mean that new believer? You mean that follower who can’t seem to get it together? Yes, yes, yes and yes – all the above. You and I, as followers of Christ, have been given the mind of Christ. That means we can know the heart of Christ and even many of his ways. Yes, I know Isaiah recorded that God declared, “For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways.” But that was before Grace and the Spirit. That was the Old Testament.

But the New Testament brought about God living in every believer through his Holy Spirit. Included in that, as Paul reminds us, is the mind of Christ. And while that mind is still tainted and tempted and encompassed by our earthly and sinful body, we are still able to know his mind and how he chooses to accomplish his will through our unique vessel. Which means, while we all can want the same thing God wants, God may bring it about in many different ways according to how he has built each of us. ––––––––––––––––––– Q Gary has three books that are compilations of the articles he has written for nearly 15 years.

Relay for Life seeking a renaissance after poor attendance

By CONNOR ASHLOCK Jersey County Journal The Jersey-Greene Relay for Life team hoped to see a resurgence this year in the amount of people in attendance, but their Luminaria event at Marshall’s ChevyBuick-GMC in Jerseyville on Saturday, June 5, was far from well-attended. According to the organization’s Jersey County chair, Carrie Ross, that’s been the pattern the last couple of years. Ross explained that at one time, the Relay for Life event was a major draw in the community with a wide range of support from numerous individuals. Many residents will recall one of relay’s annual events, used to raise money for the American Cancer Society, was hosted at the Jersey Community High School soccer field and track that ran throughout the course of the night, with the total earnings of the event being announced to weary-eyed participants at 6 a.m. Even before then, the Relay for Life had enjoyed consistent success in Jersey County. “At the first relay in Jersey County back in the 1980s, we raised over $100,000,” Ross said. Pork chop suppers, bake sales, fish fries and other fundraisers were on offer from several different teams in the county, composed of indi-

viduals who were themselves survivors, family or friends of survivors, loved ones of those who lost the battle to cancer or just individuals who wanted to make a difference in the lives of those with cancer. The money those teams raised contributed to the organization’s overall success in the county. But, as the years stretched on, people got burnt out, Ross said. “Over time, people got worn out,” Ross said. “We had a lot of challenges competing with other fundraisers, people losing interest— it just became too much and people’s lives were busy.” Also, straining resources at the administrative level of the ACS, Ross said, further contributed to the downfall. “They were trying to trim their administrative expenses, and earnings weren’t what they’ve been historically,” Ross noted. As a result, Jersey and Greene counties combined their Relay for Life organizations into a single entity. The arrangement, agreed upon by the two organizations, was that one county would handle the relay while the other handled the survivor dinner, tossing those two responsibilities back and forth every year. The survivor dinner is another community-centered event, where cancer survivors are honored at a supper with their loved ones and can enjoy

a time with others who are currently in the fight to overcome cancer. But now, resources have further dwindled locally, including volunteers, community support and finances. At the Relay for Life event this year, there were no more than approximately two dozen people present for the Luminaria Ceremony, the centerpiece of every Relay for Life event where the names of those who passed from cancer are read as well as the names of those currently fighting it. Last year, while COVID was already circulating among the regional counties, it was decided that a socially distanced survivor parade would be hosted in place of the annual relay, but support was lacking then as well, according to Ross. “We ended up having the event last year in Carrollton, and we had really bad weather and literally there weren’t 20 people there. It was horrible,” Ross said. “It was in the middle of COVID, so we arranged for a parade of survivors. Then it stormed.” The weather for this year’s event, though, proved to be an improvement over last year’s. Ross noted that with Kim Marshall’s help, along with Brenda and Colten Skinner and numerous others, it feels as though fresh life is being breathed back into the organization. However, if the Relay for Life is to continue its impact on curing cancer

or funding better life-saving treatments, then a renaissance must occur in the region, she said. “We’re still out here trying to make an event happen every year,” Ross said. “It’s so hard to come up with ideas as to how to entertain people or how to draw people to the event anymore. We really do need people.” Ross has been encouraging anyone that used to be a part of a team to fire it back up again and enjoy time with one another while making money for cancer research. “You don’t have to do but one fundraiser— it’s all you have to do,” Ross said. Jerseyville native Colten Skinner put a team together and raked in about $1,500 last month by hosting a fish fry at the Marshall dealership. Ross noted that the group had such a great time and enjoyed such a degree of success that they hope to host another one in the fall. For Ross, her involvement with the organization has become more personal as time goes on, and one of her desires is for the community to experience that personal understanding of what the relay seeks to accomplish. “We buried a friend this year, and she fought valiantly. She fought until the day she passed, and she was only 54 years old. She left behind a family, husband, many friends and people who loved her, and it makes you mad,” Ross said.

Connor Ashlock/Jersey County Journal

This year’s Relay for Life organizers used glow sticks to help increase the efficiency in preparing for the Luminaria Ceremony. Luminaria were placed in an oval, following the path of the main drive at Marshall Chevy-Buick-GMC in Jerseyville.

“I get frustrated with all of the stress that comes along with an event and people in general. I have to step back sometimes and think about her and the people who went before her, and I need that relay every year to remind me why we do what we do every year.” For Ross, the relay brings refreshment in the sense that many are reminded that they are, in fact, not alone. “It feels very personal until you come to a relay event— until you walk and you look at all those bags. It’s a big disease that affects a lot of people, and it lets you know there’s a lot of people out there in the fight with you,” Ross said. Ross mentioned a fellow volunteer who showed up for this year’s Relay for Life event

as an example. “She lost her husband to cancer 18 years ago. So, we got a new volunteer, and that was very exciting,” Ross said. “Our problem is we don’t have enough volunteers to be able to do what they used to do. We just don’t. We have a handful of people that do all the work.” Currently, Ross and her fellow volunteers in Jersey and Greene counties are pointing their efforts toward working for a more engaging and successful Relay for Life organization between the two counties. “We need teams, volunteers and support— anybody and everybody,” Ross said. “Ideas, suggestions— you name it. We’re open to any and all of them.”

JCHD collecting birds for West Nile testing

By HALEY DISTERHOFT Jersey County Journal The Jersey County Health Department (JCHD) is collecting dead birds to test for West Nile virus (WNV). The virus is a mosquitoborne illness and can be carried in both birds and mosquitoes. Birds that test positive for WNV indicate mosquitoes in the area may also be carrying the virus. “Our local health department collects mosquitos and dead birds and tests from May through September,” Anna Yates, JCHD Environmental Health Manager, said. JCHD currently has three testing sites set up in Jersey County. Testing is performed two to thee times per week. “Collecting birds is important as it helps IDPH (Illinois Department of Public Health) monitor the extent of the

West Nile Virus,” Yates said. “WNV transmits in birds and mosquitos first. If one of our testing sites or bird collections shows a positive for WNV, we will pinpoint areas that may be affected by WNV.” The bird collection will last from May 1 through Oct. 15. “To report a bird, you must call the Environmental Health Department at 618- 4989565 ext. 321, and our staff will come out to determine if this is an acceptable bird for collection. The bird must be ‘freshly’ dead, which means no sign of decomposition,” Yates said. Residents may also bring in the birds themselves, if certain precautions are taken including not touching dead birds with bare hands and picking them up with rubber gloves or a plastic bag.
