Board mulls marijuana growing facility support By BOB CROSSEN Jersey County Journal A local corporation is seeking support from the Jersey County board to establish a medical marijuana cultivation center in Jersey County. John Shourd, Scientific Growers Inc. representative, approached the board Tuesday night to explain his company’s bid to start a medical marijuana cultivation center in Jersey County, which could employ as many as 25 people if it were given the green light. “This is a very labor intensive process. It’s an agricultural factory,” Shourd said. “The state of Illinois requires a threefold expansion, so we have to be ready to expand even higher. … We want to hire from Jersey County as much as possible.” The Jersey County board referred offering a

letter of support to the corporation to the legislative committee to review state law about the issue before action is taken by the full board. Shourd said the company’s workforce could double or triple with the expansion if and when the cultivation center does expand, assuming Scientific Growers receives a permit to grow cannabis for medical purposes from the Illinois Department of Agriculture (IDOA). Shourd said the corporation, located in English Township, would grow the marijuana in Jersey County and ship it to dispensaries, most of which, he said, are in the northern half of the state. According to the Medical Cannabis Pilot Program Act signed into law by Gov. Pat Quinn Aug. 1, 2013, there will be only 22 cultivation centers in the state, one for each Illinois State Police district.

According to the Medical Cannabis Pilot Program Act signed into law by Gov.

We’re asking for your support.” Support from the county is not a requirement in the application process for a medical marijuana grower’s license, but Shroud said such support could improve Scientific Growers’ chances. By law, cultivation centers are to be registered through IDOA. Applications require a proposed legal name of the center, physical address, culti-

By ROBERT LYONS Jersey County Journal It was magic in the making when Jerseyville’s biggest Red Sox fan met up with Boston’s. Thanks to a chance encounter during Game 3 of last year’s World Series against Boston, 22-year-old Colten Skinner is packing his bags for a trip to Fenway Park. Colten Skinner said he’s been a Red Sox fan pretty much his whole life. “I’ve been a Red Sox fan since I was little, about 6 years old,” he said. “I just started watching them a lot and I really liked them.” During the World Series game, the Skinners spotted a woman decked out in Red Sox attire, including a unique hat that was a replica of Fenway Park. The woman, Lynne Smith, took a picture with Colten and then exchanged email contact information with the family. Smith remained in contact with the Skinners since that time. The Skinners were unaware the woman they had met is a legend in Boston. Smith is affectionately known throughout New England as the Fenway Park Hat Lady. She said her unique hat has been in every Major League stadium, with the exception of Yankee Stadium. Because her hat has drawn so much attention since she began wearing it in 1999, she estimates her picture has been taken upward of 10,000 times over the years. She attends the majority of the Red Sox’s home games, as well as all road games during the postseason. In 2012, the Red Sox organization declared Smith was the No. 1 living fan. She was recognized with a plaque presented on the field by David “Big Papi” Ortiz. So, needless to say, she is

Tony’s North closes its doors without notice By ROBERT LYONS Jersey County Journal Would-be Tony’s North customers may have been a bit confused when they tried to enter the restaurant over the weekend and the doors were locked. The Jerseyville eatery closed for business after the Thursday, June 5 dinner service without notice. Though no message was left on the door to inform the public of the closure, a message was posted Friday to the restaurant’s Facebook page. In the post, owners Paul and Erin Ventimiglia state balancing the restaurant with raising their six children

had become too difficult. “To give Tony’s North the time and dedication it needs at this point to be a successful restaurant is not an investment we are willing to make at the expense of our family,” the post states. A potential shut down had been rumored for the past six to eight months, according to Tony’s North server Kara Dunham. However, the exact timing came as a surprise. “I was texted by a coworker on Friday during the day, but I wasn’t really sure if that was the case. I tried to make phone calls to all of the people in charge and no one answered their phone,” Dunham said.

“So, I went ahead and showed up for work on Friday.” When Dunham arrived, the restaurant was deserted and the doors were locked. Saturday Dunham received a text message from Paul Ventimiglia, explaining that the restaurant was closed. In the message, Dunham was told the closing of the restaurant was supposed to come later in the month, after a staff meeting. Dunham said the information relayed to her was that an employee with knowledge of the impending closure started spreading the news and the owners feared there would be a panic among the employees.

By SAM ELLIOTT Jersey County Journa; Grafton Mayor Tom Thompson asked the Environmental Protection Agency to come to Grafton to look into possible effects the new American Heartland Fish Products plant is having on the city’s air quality. The mayor informed the city council and members of the public on his meeting with the organization during the council’s latest meeting Tuesday at city hall. “I was the one that called the EPA and got them involved. I want them to continue to monitor this situation. They are the highest authority in the state when it comes to air quality,” Thompson said. The mayor met with EPA representatives after they spent time at the fish plant Thursday. “I had a very good discussion with them, told them the number of complaints that we’ve received and that it was my opinion, as the mayor, that something needed to be done ASAP to solve this problem,” Thompson said. “I know they’re working on it, but I

wanted the EPA to make sure that they were giving them their advice and expertise on the air quality and what they had to do.” Thompson is still awaiting the EPA’s initial written report on its visit and the organization plans to return to Grafton again in less than two weeks. “We’re not sweeping this under the carpet and letting on like there’s not a problem. I will certainly inform the council at a meeting when I get that report back from the EPA,” the mayor said. “I didn’t want verbal statements. I wanted something I could read so that there would be no misunderstandings about the interpretation of their decision on this issue.” The mayor also recently met with Jersey County State’s Attorney Ben Goetten in an effort to put to rest the issue of Grafton’s Open Meetings Act violation. “Mr. Goetten has agreed that there will be no criminal prosecution for this violation of the Open Meetings Act with the understanding that all officials of the city of Grafton will be (See, grafton, a2)

River Road crash leaves one dead By RoBeRt Lyons Jersey County Journal A single-vehicle motorcycle crash Sunday night left a Madison County woman dead. According to Trooper Jeffrey Yenchko with the Illinois State Police, a 2000 Harley Davidson driven by 48-year-old Peter V. Lavite of Wood River failed to negotiate a turn about a mile-and-a-half north of Pere Marquette State Park on Illinois Route 100. Yenchko said the motorcycle

was traveling southbound and hit a guard rail and both riders were ejected from the motorcycle. Lavite’s passenger, 44-year-old Barbara S. Steckel of Bethalto, was pronounced dead at the scene. Lavite was transported by ARCH Helicopter Service to Mercy Hospital in St. Louis. “I know that alcohol did play a part, and they were looking at other charges, as well,” Yenchko said, noting he is unclear of charges in addition to a potential driving under the influence. As of Wednesday morning, no charges against Lavite had

been filed in Jersey County. The crash was reported at 8:01 p.m. Sunday. With motorcycle riding season just kicking into high gear, Yenchko said it is important to exercise caution when operating the twowheeled vehicles. “Remember, don’t drink and drive,” he said. “If they have helmets, we recommend they wear them. Even though it’s not a law, it’s a safe measure and they should take extreme caution when riding.”

(Continued from A1) annually and may be revoked by IDOA as determined by administrative rule. Shourd said the Jersey County corporation intends to build a facility in which the medical marijuana will be grown. An enclosed facility is required by law, he added, noting security is a priority. According to a press release issued by Scientific Growers, the facility must be monitored 24/7 by video surveillance with a direct uplink to the Illinois State Police. The law states that no individual may enter the building except workers of the center in question, DOA staff performing inspections, Department of Public Health performing inspections, law enforcement or contractors working on jobs related to the cultivation center. “We would not be selling medical marijuana. We would not be owning a dispensary or anything like that,” Shourd said, noting the law forbids the cultivation centers from selling product at retail. “We grow it, and then we will ship it to dispensaries that are set up all over. … We will just be growing it and processing the product.” County board member Rhonda Linders asked if the center would be selling its product in Godfrey at a dispensary. During its regular meeting in June, Godfrey’s public safety committee discussed zoning issues on a cultivation center, not a dispensary, but Shourd said most of the dispensaries will be in the northern parts of the state. He said the cultivation centers have to contract with the dispensaries to sell their product wholesale. The dispensaries would then sell the product at retail to those who have authorization to purchase medical marijuana. According to medical marijuana law in Illinois, patients suffering from cancer, glaucoma, HIV or AIDS, and hepatitis are among a list of many illnesses and diseases that qualify to use the drug. Physicians must fill out a form

certifying patients have a qualifying medical condition. Shourd said the initial building would be 15,000 square feet in size and would employ a minimum of 25 people. He said cultivating the plant takes a lot of labor and will require extensive training. “These jobs will be plant tenders, trimmers, they go in and they finish off the product. You have to dry it. There are processes for making it into oils; extraction techniques,” Shourd said. “There will be a lot of biologists and chemists, but a lot of it – with the bud tending – people can just come in right off the street and we’ll be training them. There is an extensive training.” No county board members voiced a stance on the issue, but Chairman Jerry Wittman said he would like to see the company in Jersey County rather than a surrounding one. Applications for the licenses have not been made available, but Shourd said he expects to apply by the end of the year for the license during a 30-day window. In other business, the board: n Heard a presentation from Jersey County Business Association CEO Mary Heitzig about the efforts the association is making toward economic development in Jersey County. n Approved a resolution to award 2014 local agency districtwide pavement marking. n Approved an intergovernmental agreement between Jersey County and the Regional Office of Education. n Approved to appoint John Dunham as the chairman of the Jersey County War Memorial. n Approved to appoint Larry Keller to the Jersey County Housing Authority.

(Continued from A1) more diligent in the future to avoid any violation of the Open Meetings Act,” Thompson said. The city’s violation occurred March 26, when a committee — which included two city council members — met, and a third council member took an active leadership role in the proceedings. “It is not a violation of the Open Meetings Act for an alderman to attend a committee meeting of which he’s not a member, so long as he assumes no greater role than any other member of the public,” Thompson said. “The violation occurs when he joins the other members of the committee and creates the appearance of being a member of that committee, including speaking out whenever he feels is appropriate. If he were present as a member of the public, he would be in the audience section of our meeting room and would only speak if recognized by the chairman just like any other member of the public.”

With the state’s attorney not bringing any prosecution against the city, Thompson suggested it’s best for all parties to put the issue behind them. “I respectfully and sincerely request the cooperation of all our elected officials to be more careful in the future to avoid any violation of the Illinois Open Meetings Act,” he said. “At this point, I think it is best for all concerned that we simply put this incident behind us. I don’t think any further discussion or debate would be beneficial to the city of Grafton.” The council took action Tuesday to ensure its payroll and everyday expenses will continue to be paid, despite not having a new appropriation ordinance ready for the new fiscal year by passing Resolution 2014-15. “[Alderman Jerry Bauersachs] brought to [the mayor’s] attention the statute that says that you cannot make expenditures without a prior authorization by an appropriation ordinance,” City Attorney Jim Schrempf said. “The statute also provides that you have

a specific authority to have a continuation of spending resolution that allows the city to pay its usual, customary expenses of operation so long as they do not exceed the limits of the prior year’s appropriation ordinance — which they aren’t going to do in the first three months, most likely.” Also approved Tuesday, Resolution 2014-14 gives Grafton officials authorization to demolish a vacant structure deemed unsafe located at 920 Wren Court. “It’s been vacant and our city attorney has been trying to track down who owns it,” Thompson said. “We’re pursuing to have that trailer removed.” In other business, the council: n Approved waiving the event fee for an upcoming Autism Speaks fundraiser event at The Hawg Pit in Grafton as it’s for a charitable event. n Approved the minutes for the meeting of May 27. n Approved the treasurer’s report for May 2014.

Grafton parents air school concerns to Davidsmeyer By BoB CRossen Jersey County Journal Changes to Grafton Elementary School’s boundary was at the forefront of conversations between members of the public in Grafton and Illinois Rep. C.D. Davidsmeyer June 5. Davidsmeyer visited city hall in the riverside city for a town hall meeting where he explained the political climate of Springfield and took questions from the public. The major concern for residents who attended the meeting was the realignment of the boundary for Grafton Elementary School, which was approved by the school board May 21 during a regular meeting. Davidsmeyer said he has no control over the school board, but rather works with other members of the legislature to enact budgets and legislation that affect school funding throughout the state. Funding for schools, he said, has been a major issue for those outside the Chicago metropolitan area, but because of legislative districts and career politicians, making changes is an uphill battle. “There’s a harsh reality in Springfield, especially with career politicians,” Davidsmeyer said. “They’re worried about their 100,000 voters to vote for them. They’re not worried about anybody else.” School districts in Illinois have had reductions in funding the past three years with the upcoming year remaining at the stagnate 89 percent proration, meaning the state is withholding 11 percent of funding for each school district in the state. Angie Parish, Bethalto school teacher and parent of two Grafton elementary students, is an active community member who regularly attends the Jersey Community Unit School District 100 board meetings. She also formed Students First, a group comprised of like-minded

parents who want to keep Grafton Elementary running as it has in the past. She intends to spearhead fundraising efforts to help District 100 during its financial struggles. “When we do this, we want to designate where that money goes,” Parish said, noting she was met with resistance from school officials with her fundraising ideas. “We don’t want it to go just toward Grafton. We want it to go toward fine arts so that we get music and art back at the junior high.” She raised concerns about the closure of the Grafton Elementary School. Superintendent Lori Hopkins has said the board is not closing the school, and there has not been any action taken by the board to support a full closure of the elementary school in the riverside town. During the May meeting, school board member Stan Kary said he would like the board to review the possibility of closing the school next year to determine if doing so would improve the district’s finances. The board was presented with information that made it clear closing the school will be financially irresponsible for the district, leading to the approval of changes to the attendance boundary. Kary said it would be foolish to close the school now. Parish said Kary’s statements give her little security about the school’s future. “It only takes four members of our board of education to pass whatever they’re voting on, and if four of them say ‘Yes,’ then whatever they decide happens,” Parish said. “We have to keep telling the school board, ‘Don’t do this. Leave it open.’” Pat Shenberger, Grafton resident, said his children attended the grade school in Grafton, and now his grandchildren will attend, as well. He worried the school would not be there for future generations despite having the highest test scores among Jersey County schools.

According to the Illinois Report Card, Grafton Elementary School has exceeded the overall ISAT scores of all other District 100 schools, a result often explained as being due to smaller class sizes. Grafton has an average class size of 20 students per teacher with a total enrollment of 269 students in the 20122013 school year. Comparatively, East and West Elementary have 21 and 23 students per class, respectively, in the same time frame. West had a total enrollment of 361 students in 2013-2014 school year and East had a total enrollment of 417 that same year. District officials said the change in Grafton Elementary School’s boundaries was a way to save money – $35,000 will be saved in transportation costs, also – and also create class size parity among all schools in the district. Parents of Grafton Elementary students at the meeting June 5 said the draw to move to Grafton was for a grade school that had small class sizes. With the parity change, that incentive will be diminished. Kevin Stuby, Grafton resident, said the constant attention paid to the potential closing of a school the district has said it is not closing may create even worse press than the increase in class sizes at the school. “If we put too much negative press out on this, it’s going to be both detrimental to Grafton and Grafton School from the standpoint of you’re going to scare away families that may want to move here,” Stuby said. “They’re not going to want to move here if they think we’re losing our school.” Stuby said the most effective effort the community can put forth to improve the situation is to encourage families to move to Grafton where their children will go to the school. With a greater population of student enrollment, additional sections for each grade could potentially open to bring class sizes back down.

(Continued from A1) “Everyone keeps saying that from a business standpoint they agree with what they did because we would have left them hanging,” Dunham said. “But, I wouldn’t have done that. I would have worked until the end.” Dunham worked for Tony’s since its opening threeand-a-half years ago. She said she feels she deserved more respect after dedicating herself since Day 1. “That just flipped my entire world upside down,” she said. “Some communication would have been awesome.” Dunham said employees of the restaurant were offered jobs at Tony’s Alton location or the High Flyers Grille in East Alton, both of which are operated by the Ventimiglia family. But, for Dunham, who lives in Carrollton, driving to Madison County for part-time work is not a feasible option. The Ventimiglias state they will be combining their

efforts with the Tony’s in Alton. Tony’s North gift certificates will be honored at the Alton location. Party reservations can also be transferred. Tony’s North was established in 2011, filling a void left by the former restaurant, Carpenter’s. Since that time, Tony’s North had been a popular dining destination for residents and out-of-towners alike. “The people of Jerseyville welcomed us with open arms, and for that we will be forever grateful,” the Facebook post states. “We have developed countless friendships and loyal customers over the years, and we shall miss you all dearly, but the time has come for us to pursue other endeavors and devote more time to our family.” As of Monday morning, the Facebook post had received 117 comments, most expressing sadness for the business’ departure.

(Continued from A1) Smith said other people she has reached out to have donated gift certificates for merchandise, as well as meals. “There are wonderful people out there that when I ask a favor, and I tell them about Colten, they don’t say ‘No,’” Smith said. Colten Skinner said he’s excited to see his favorite team take on the Cleveland Indians. “It’s actually the Red Sox' old manager,” Colten Skinner said of Terry Francona, the manager of the Indians. “I’m really excited to see

him take on his old team.” Colten Skinner lives with ataxia telangiectasia, a rare neurological disease that causes impairment of movement and coordination, as well as weakening the immune system. He takes part in a clinical study at a St. Louis hospital. The Skinners formed a relationship with local resident Tammy Miller while participating in the study. Miller had tickets to Game 3 of last year’s World Series, but was unable to attend and passed the tickets along to Kim Skinner. That is how the whole adventure began.

“I think it was fate that we had to meet,” Smith said. Kim Skinner agrees. “Some people say ‘Oh gosh, what a coincidence,’” Kim Skinner said. “But, I think everything happens for a reason. To Colten, she’s an angel that was put there for us to meet.” The Skinners were informed of the trip before spring training began, and Colten Skinner said he’s been counting down the days ever since. “I’m looking forward to just seeing Fenway Park,” he said. “It’s going to be a blast once I get out there. It’s going to be really fun.”

Journeys School creates hummingbird habitat By BoB Crossen Jersey County Journal Fueled by a grant from the Illinois Department of Natural Resources (IDNR), Journeys School students in Delhi built a garden to attract hummingbirds to the area. Kevin McNicholas, service learning coordinator for Journeys School, said the idea spawned from some discussion with the school’s principal, Mary Pearson, who heard about migration changes in hummingbirds due to food sources. The service learning coordinator – part of the responsibilities of which is hands-on activities – said he spoke with the students about a few hands-on projects they could complete during their time at the school. He said the students suggested planting a butterfly garden, which slowly turned into the hummingbird project. “It kind of took steam and caught some legs. Students were excited and started bringing me seeds,” McNicholas said, noting only native species were placed in the garden. “So, kids were really getting excited about it and taking ownership of it.” He said the students’ intensity with the project was great to see.

Getting students who are in sixth through 12th grades to enjoy school projects isn’t always as easy as it was for the hummingbird habitat, he added. The students brought most of the ideas to McNicholas, rather than the teacher lecturing the students and instructing them through the creation of the habitat. McNicholas said a lot of the projects at Journeys are intended to improve the self-perception of the students at the school. One project has the students paint stones with colors representing their values and traits, which were then placed on the school grounds as decoration. The project was a way to show the students that what they do can sometimes endure for longer than the moment it happens, a value which was also expressed in the construction and planting of the hummingbird habitat at the school. “Their takeaway was ideally the value of hard work and doing something bigger than themselves,” McNicholas said. “My thing is they are all here for a reason. Your reason may be you struggle with anger. Your reason may be you struggle with learning, struggle with paying attention. Whatever your struggle is is not important.”

Looking deeper than the immediate struggles each day gives the students perspective on their lives to better them for the future. McNicholas said the representatives from IDNR were excited about the prospect of a hummingbird habitat in Jersey County because they are a rare thing to find in the state, although there are some locations in Jersey County where the birds are populous. Like bees, hummingbirds are important in the pollination of plants. However the number of plants that attract hummingbirds have waned throughout the years, so the birds have begun to flock further west. Although many people put out hummingbird feeders to attract the small birds, without the ability to pollinate the plants that keep them fed naturally, those food sources begin to die off. The birds then migrate to where they can find the plants. “Native species are being choked out,” McNicholas said of invasive plants crowding out those native to the area. “People aren’t planting these things. There’s a lack of flowers. There’s a lack of hummingbirds. When a hummingbird drinks from a feeder, they’re getting the

nectar, but they’re not cross-pollinating flowers.” Teaching the students about how hummingbirds help the environment, what plants they like and how to entice the birds to the school were all part of the grant-funded project, he added. McNicholas said he learned some of the students were proficient in landscaping and plant identification, something he said could be a possible career path to propel those students into their professional life after school. He said he’ll keep an eye on their skills as they grow and help them seek out ways to follow that path in the future. The grant may be applied for on an annual basis, McNicholas said, noting he will seek more money next year to expand the hummingbird habitat to keep the students engaged in the project next year, as well. Journeys School in Delhi is an alternative learning facility run by the Region III Special Education Cooperative headquartered in Cottage Hills.

Walking path at Wock Lake set for completion By roBerT Lyons Jersey County Journal A complete circuit will be completed for visitors to Wock Family Lake. During Tuesday night’s Jerseyville City Council meeting, unanimous approval was given to complete the remainder of the project, which Commissioner of Public Property Glen Ketchum said is around a half-mile. “One of my goals this year was to complete the walking trail at Wock Lake,” Ketchum said. “We need to complete from the pavilion on the north side to the bridge over the spillway and we want to go to the sidewalk on June Street.” The councilman said he received a bid from Scott Turman for the work, and the total cost to complete the walking path is $23,820. However, Ketchum said the city has already received a $5,000 donation from the Rotary Club, and he is still seeking other contributions from local groups. The council approved up to $18,820 for the project. “It wouldn’t be quite that much,” Ketchum said. “I’m looking more at $12,000.” Also at Tuesday’s meeting, the council approved the certified revenues by source for the 2014-15 fiscal year. The city’s commissioner of accounts and finance,

Yvonne Hartmann, said the anticipated revenues for the year are $9,834,232, an increase of $184,000 from the previous year. Hartmann said she was conservative in figuring the revenue because the status of payments from the state is unknown, but she is expecting increased revenue from property taxes, motor fuel tax and state game and fees. “With several other businesses putting in the state games, I figured we might be getting considerably more money from them,” Hartmann said. She said she reduced the amount of revenue anticipated from the telecommunications tax. “I noticed we weren’t getting as much annually as we had been,” she said. Revenue from interest on investments was also reduced. In other business, the council: n Approved the minutes of the previous meeting. n Approved payment of the bills. n Approved the annual prevailing wage ordinance. n Approved the re-appointments of Jerry Schleper, Juan Lingow and Andy Thomas to the Jerseyville Public Library board of trustees for three-year terms. n After an hour-and-fifteen-minute closed session, approved scheduling a public hearing for July 8, at 4:15 p.m. for the purpose of trading properties.

He realized he had a knack for the planning after years of organizing motorcycle trips for family and friends. After leaving his job at Marshal Chevrolet Buick GMC – he worked at Sunderland Chevrolet for 20 years until it closed – he decided to start up a business idea that had been rattling around in his head for more than a decade. “This is something I thought about doing in the past because I do a lot of motorcycle trips. I put them all together and organize them,” Zimmerman said. “I’ve been doing things like this for 15 to 20 years.” The business is focused on providing consultations for those planning events – anniversaries, birthday parties, class reunions, etc. – in addition to weddings. The event planner said his first consultation is free, noting he’ll meet the client to get an idea of what they would like from their event. He said he tries to meet the clients in their homes as a conve-

“There’s just so many nice people out there in this industry, all so willing to help and eager to get me going,”

Dave Zimmerman Owner, Home Town Events how to achieve the event the client wants. He said the different packages range in price with the informational packet being cheaper than hiring Home Town Events to organize the entire event. He said some businesses have inquired about event planning, but noted that the mobile valet parking service has garnered the most attention. The service has mobile signs and a podium which it sets up at a venue for valet parking. Such services are growing in popularity in the southern states, he said, adding he is trying to get ahead of the competition as it moves further north. Businesses, he said, are taking notice and have

discussed contracting the service with Zimmerman. In addition to the valet and event planning services, Zimmerman said he is getting back into creating wooden shelves, a hobby he has done for 30 years. He started making shelves in 1984 before entering trade shows and craft fairs where he won some awards for his work. Despite stepping away from trade shows for nearly 20 years, he said he has kept up with the work and has even purchased upgraded tools to make the wood shelves. He said he will be making a presence at area craft shows and fairs with the shelving units. “I’ve still got all my patterns from way back when and I just got all new equipment and everything, machinery and stuff here in the last five or six years or so,” Zimmerman said, “and I decided to put it to good use.” Zimmerman said he has enjoyed the time with his start-up in the month that it has been open, noting his favorite part has been the social experience of the job. “There’s just so many nice people out there in this industry, all so willing to help and eager to get me going,” Zimmerman said.

Your VIEWS Bemoans loss of art programs at JCUSD TO THE EDITOR: The decision to eliminate the last of the art curriculum in the Jersey School District is not only saddening on a personal level but is a detriment to all of the students of Jersey County. The removal of essential creative education does more than just remove an outlet for one’s expressive side. It nurtures and trains one’s ability to solve problems, to think critically beyond expectations, and (above all) to create new ideas that have no previous application. In short, art fills in the space between silos of popular thought, not with corn, but with new ideas. Not to get too corny, but art is the pavement that bridges the gap between ideas. In a world that demands its leaders to be interdisciplinary, while learning the skills needed to bridge these conceptual gaps, pedagogy in creative thinking provides people with the foundation to guide multiple departments of a company towards one creative solution. Undeniably, creative thinking is the key to success. Without such creative education, we are not preparing our future leaders to be able to succeed in the world that we have built. Furthermore, removing art education from the school’s curriculum erodes at the foundation of what it takes to teach our children to be open-minded about the world around them. This plea for creative education is not only aimed at art courses. Anytime a community decides to lessen the variety of classes offered nurtures a culture of close-mindedness. The continuous elimination of programs in the school district certainly seems to be limiting the number of opportunities for the kids in the community to experience the world from multiple perspectives. It is this variety of perspectives that universities look for when granting scholarships, and that companies and other more prestigious institutions look for amongst applicants. They do not just want high test-scores but they equally want

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).

to see smorgasbord of interests. As they see it, a culture of open minds leads to a culture of healthy minds. If we continue to eliminate programs, how will any child be prepared to take on hardship or overcome challenges without a basic understanding of how the world works and how to be creative when their world is not working? Certainly “budget cuts” has become the default response to downsizing “extracurricular activities.” But let us be honest, lack of funding is not the real issue here. Prioritization of knowledge is. Who decides which class is more valuable than another? Under what conditions is that class more important? These are questions that we should be asking in the community as well as at the state and federal level. When we start answering these questions, we will mostly find that each class holds equivalent values because they yield results in many different ways. Still, all classes teach critical thinking skills and all classes teach critical thinking from varying perspectives. Again, it is this multiplicity of perspectives that makes for an intelligent person, a person that is not only receptive to change but is that change that they wish to see. It is naïve to say that art classes are only important to the few who desire an outlet for their emotions. Everyone has emotions. Everyone has new ideas. Everyone wants to be heard. Now, even the option of finding out if they might have a good voice for those new ideas, or learning how to create that voice, is virtually non-existent. Our future leaders are now being prescribed their interests and ideas. We only need to look at history to see how that has turned out… In closing, you do not need to be inherently creative or dedicated to art to learn or understand its importance. Moreover, I would argue that if you did not learn of its importance early on, your education failed you. However, I continue to seek a better world for future generations of wellrounded critical thinkers.

rafton school is not closing.

There has been so much attention given to this subject which has yet to become an issue. While looking at potential ways to save on expenditures, research was done to determine the pros and cons closing the Grafton school would have. The finding was that closing Grafton Elementary would be financially irresponsible. The board moved on. However, many people concerned over the future of the school have not. Of course, after the district closed schools in Dow, Delhi and Fieldon, it's easy to see why the riverside community might be worried. But, as one Grafton resident who attended last week's meeting with C.D. Davidsmeyer pointed out, keeping the issue alive after it was laid to rest by the school board will ultimately have an effect opposite of its intended purpose. Maintaining an argument the school will be closing, and insisting on publicizing it and attempting to enlist the help of state representatives, will begin to convince the people living there and considering taking up residence in Grafton the school may actually close. That will send a message that Grafton is not the place to be. One board member, Stan Kary, said he would like to revisit the issue in another year to see if anything changes that would make closing the school a viable option. Kary is a fine board member, but he is only one member of an entire board. There would have to be at least three others who feel the same way. As it sits now, the board may or may not review it in the future. If there is another review, the findings could very well end up the exact same as this year. Unlike the towns of the district's other outlying schools that were closed as a money-saving measure, Grafton is a town full of vitality. There may not be a population boom, but it is a surviving city that draws a lot of interest. The school district would be well advised, for its own sake and the county's as a whole, to maintain a presence in its beautiful new building in Grafton Hills. There's just no sense in getting too worked up just yet.

EDITORIAL

hat happened to open communication between couples? It seems like people jump the gun and get hooked up before they even know each other’s last name. I know I am being sarcastic, but wouldn’t you want to know a little bit about the other person’s work ethic, religious views, or financial situation before you moved in together or even get married. Rush, rush, and must have it all now seems to be the motto. Don’t get to know the person first, divorce is easy now a days. Sorry, being sarcastic again. I cannot help it, but I am seeing very young people marry and turn around within the same year split up. A lot of people are not who they say they are. Trust your inner voice because not all is glitter. If you don’t have peace about that person, how can you have peace in the relationship? There are ulterior motives to someone that does not have much ambition in life. Surround yourself with those on the same path as you. If you have a purpose, then find the person that will share your true purpose with you. It’s sad to see close friends and

family get hurt by things that were hidden from the relationship from the beginning. If you are strong enough to enter a relationship full-time then you are strong enough to ask questions and retrieve the correct information before making a commitment. If you have children then let that be your priority, to find out the truth about one another. Today you need to find out about their debt, goals, health issues, and mental status. It doesn’t matter how strong you are; and if you don’t know about these issues early on, they can turn you into one of the weakest people and tear you down with the burdens of their past. There are so many things you have to know; how they feel about kids before you commit, what are their sexual needs, how well do they socialize with your family and friends, do they get along with their parents? Basic things, but pretty important information that is needed ahead of time and most don’t ask. Don’t ever think you will change someone. That will never happen. They have to want to change themselves. Don’t worry about who does the

household chores right away, but then again I hate to scrub showers. When I met my husband over 23 years ago, I felt in my heart, he Guest was the one I was growing Column older with. He BY made me smile, LORI DUNSE never took advantage of me, and most important, I felt safe with him. We made sure that we at least had a good hobby together and to this day it has been one of our favorites. We have also allowed each other to explore our identity and enjoy separate hobbies of our own. Be strong and get what you want from life. Strong people don’t hurt others, they lift them up and protect. Grab a hold of someone that wants you to laugh at least once a day and makes you warm inside. –––––––––––––––––––––––––––– n Lori Dunse, is a guest columnist

n interesting confluence of events could affect your pocketbook the next time you go shopping. Because of strong international demand for dairy products, butter prices are near record levels with the retail price of butter nearly 50 percent higher than last year at this time. A similar situation holds for beef. Prices are near record levels, with ribeye prices nearly 10 percent higher than last year and hamburger prices almost 50 percent higher. And, as the beef industry attempts to re-build the national herd from its smallest size in 60 years, beef prices are expected to continue moving up. Further, a new twist has recently been added which turns a lot of our thinking about eating red meat and dairy products on its head, potentially increasing demand just as prices are near record levels. Since the 1960s, saturated fat was seen to be an important cause of heart disease. The advice from the health and nutrition community was animal fats should be avoided as much as possible. As a result, red meat and dairy products – butter and cheese – were

excluded, or at least minimized, from diets of health conscious people. A new book was recently published that disputes that advice. The book, “The Big Fat Surprise”, written by Nina Teicholz and widely reviewed in a number of publications, turns the traditional anti-red meat and dairy product diet on its head. The book indicates low fat diets may not be as beneficial as once believed nor are red meat and dairy products as bad as once believed. I am not a medical specialist, nutrition expert or dietician. So, I won’t comment on or evaluate the basic premise of the book: the medical advice provided to us about the danger of eating red meat and dairy products is both overstated and incorrect. This issue is one that will be debated by professionals. But the impact could be seen at the grocery store and felt in the pocket book long before professionals have finished their discussions. So, while not quite a perfect retail price storm, high butter prices and high beef prices have been met with a possible new source of increased demand, potentially pushing prices even high-

Relay for Life reaching toward $1 million By BoB crossen Jersey County Journal Relay for Life of Jersey County is closing in on $1 million raised for the American Cancer Society since 2000 in Jersey County. According to the Relay for Life website for Jersey County, more than $16,000 was raised during the relay June 6 at Jersey Community High School. “I think we’re going to hit $1 million this year,” Frank said, noting the Jersey County relay is approximately $2,800 short of the milestone. This year’s event had a superhero theme with Superman, Spiderman as well as Batman and Robin all making appearances throughout the night. Rather than having activities for a 12-hour relay, the event ended at 12 a.m. Saturday. Kayla Frank, event chair, said the relay had more help setting up tents, luminaria and activity booths than previous years. “We got set up early, so we got to have some downtime before we had to come back,” Frank said. There were also some familiar faces at the relay like that of Bonnie Lemme who said she has participated in Relay for Life of Jersey County for the past four

years. “We’ve had family members and still some that are in the fight, so it’s just worth it,” Lemme said. First Mid America Credit Union’s team was also present. Sandy Ramage, First Mid America employee and first year relay participant, said the team continues to participate in the Relay for LIfe because one of their coworkers is a cancer survivor.

“Several of our employees are our survivors,” Ramage said, noting the relay team captain is a survivor who organizes the team each year. Ramage said the credit union likes to participate in the walks to show support for the community and the survivors with whom the employees work.

Grassroots Grocery launches campaign to offer healthy, affordable, locally grown food

Local volunteers and entrepreneurs have joined forces to offer healthy, locally grown and organic foods in a USDA designated “food desert” in Alton. The US Department of Agriculture defines a food desert as “a census tract with a substantial share of residents who live in low-income areas that have low levels of access to a grocery store or a healthy, affordable food retail outlet.” Grassroots Grocery will be operated as a cooperative, and will source its products from inside a 50-mile radius whenever possible. Those involved hope that this strategy will strengthen the network of local farmers, engage a diverse community in improving health and self-sufficiency, and contribute to a sustainable local economy. The store, located at 415 Ridge Street in Alton, is set to open this summer with the exact date to be determined by public response to the membership campaign. Founders aim to open the doors 30 days after successfully raising $50,000 to cover startup costs and inventory. Visit www. GrassrootsGrocery.org to review the different levels of donations, each with different perks depending on the contribution amount. A basic membership to the grocery costs $100 per household, which entitles the family to a 10 percent discount at the store. If a family spends $100 of their existing monthly food budget at Grassroots Grocery then the membership will more than pay for itself over the course of a year. A compelling short video can be found on the website, in which those involved explain the need for such an endeavor and the benefits it will have in our community. “Grassroots Grocery will give folks the opportunity to buy fresh, healthy food from people who are their neighbors. Instead of sending local money to giant multi-national corporations in far away places, we have the opportunity to provide people with affordable nourishment, while keeping that money circulating in the local econ-

omy where it can do the most good,” said Christine Favilla, co-founder of the grocery, and vice president of the Community Cultivators. “The donations will be tax-deductible because of our non-profit status.” The store aims to serve neighbors who live in the food desert and therefore need access to fresh healthy food, as well as residents in surrounding areas who will now be able to save the 70-mile round trip to West County in order to shop at chain stores. Some of the farmers and producers that will have their goods at the store include: Liveprings Farms, Three Rivers Community Farm, La Vista CSA Farm, and Riverbend Roots Farm, among many others. “Neighbors will save money and have access to healthy food choices that are currently not available in the neighborhood,” said Dr. Jackie Burns of Principia College. “We are pursuing $100 cooperative memberships in order to drive the unit price of the product down so that people in the neighborhood can afford to shop there. Growing the economy and bringing people to the neighborhood will foster additional economic growth and job creation.” “Suppliers of Grassroots Grocery products will include many area farmers that attend the Alton Farmers’ & Artisans’ Market,” said Sara McGibany, Executive Director of Alton Main Street, who coordinates the Market. “We’ll also have natural household products, such as all-natural shampoo and recycled-content paper products, and free range eggs, hormone-free meats, and artisan cheeses.” Grassroots Grocery is a project of the Community Cultivators, a 501(c)3 non-profit organization started in 2002 that is known for their “Jaime Hines Discovery Garden,” one-acre organic teaching garden at La Vista park in Godfrey. Favilla, McGibany, and Dr. Burns are co-founders who have been working with dozens of dedicated volunteers on six subcom-

mittees in order to bring the project to life. “Public response has been overwhelmingly positive,” said McGibany, “the Grocery’s Facebook page reached 1,200 likes overnight and a significant amount of donations have been pledged, so we see that as a positive indicator that the Alton community is ready to support this type of social enterprise.” In addition to offering non-toxic products and sustainably grown food, the endeavor will also include a strong outreach component to educate the local populace about the importance of fresh foods and how to work with and prepare them. Workshops are being planned on the following subjects:

A parallel effort to create a “Food Hub” is being launched under the same roof by the Alton Area Business Development Association. In the back of 415 Ridge Street, large quantities of products from the same local growers will be available to wholesale buyers such as restaurants, caterers and institutions such as Senior Services Plus’s Meals on Wheels program.

ENCOUNTER performs June 15

ENCOUNTER, a group of more than 100 youth from the metro area, will be offering a free performance for the Jerseyville community on Sunday, June 15, at 6 p.m. at the Jerseyville United Methodist Church. The church is located at 1200 South Liberty Street in Jerseyville. ENCOUNTER is a group of Christian senior high youth that represent over 32 churches in the Alton area. Youth from any denomination are welcomed into the program. Auditions are not required, but dedication to God and the group is relished. Weekly rehearsals begin each year in January, with 10 to 15 performances from April through August, including a 10-day performance/service tour to end the season. ENCOUNTER was formed back in 1972, when the choir director of Main Street United Methodist Church in Alton started a small choir made up of 11 youth from the church. They called themselves “Love Eleven.” The following year the membership grew to 36. That year, they prepared a musical entitled “The Encounter,” which ultimately became the official name for the group. The Methodist Annual Conference invited the group to perform that year. A Navy captain heard them sing at the conference and extended them an invitation to sing at the naval base in Orlando, Fla. Suddenly, the group was on its way to Florida, where they sang at the base before an audience of 1,500 service men and women. As part of the tour, they performed at several churches along the route and in the Orlando area. The ENCOUNTER performance on June 15 is part of an ongoing Quarterly Concert Series hosted by the Jerseyville United Methodist Church. J.U.M.C. hosted Owen Pye, an upcoming Christian musician, on March 14 at their Pye, Pi, Pie Day Concert. Future events include a concert in honor of Patriot’s Day, which will be held on Friday, Sept. 12. J.U.M.C. is much honored to have a special guest speaker, Cpl.

Copper Long

John Fell

Janet Ketchum

Eleanor Milner

William Marcus “Copper” Long, 92, died and entered peace at 9:38 a.m. Wednesday, June 4, 2014 at Jerseyville Manor Nursing Home. He was born in Jerseyville on Oct. 15, 1921, an only child born to the late Martin and Annie (Wade) Long. A lifelong resident of Jerseyville, Copper graduated from Jersey Township High School and went on to proudly serve our country in the United States Army as a Master Sergeant during World War II. After returning from the service he married the former Darlene W. Fox and together they shared 52 years of marriage and the joys of raising their daughter, Linda. Copper worked for many years as a clerk with the United States Postal Service, retiring in 1973, where he made many lasting friendships. He never met a person that he couldn’t up a conversation with, and those that knew him could always count on a smile and a story from Copper. He was an active and longtime member of the Jerseyville American Legion and proud member of the Jerseyville American Legion Post 492 Color Guard. Surviving are his daughter, Linda Weller of Louisville, Ky.; three grandchildren, Chad Molloy of Jerseyville, Leanne (Josh) Decker of Mt. Washington, Ky. and Christopher Weller serving our country in Afghanistan; five great-grandchildren, Kennedy, Logan, Delaina, Nicholas and Derrick whom he loved and cherished and was very proud of; a brother and sister-inlaw, Eugene and Vera Fox of Robinson; a cherished niece and her husband,Carol and Jerry Howland of Texas; along with two great- nieces. In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his beloved wife, Darlene, and a great-granddaughter, Amber. Visitation was Saturday, June 7 from 10 a.m. until 12 noon at Crawford Funeral Home in Jerseyville. Graveside services were held at 12:15 p.m. at St. Francis Xavier Catholic Cemetery in Jerseyville with Father William Hembrow officiating and the Jerseyville American Legion Post 492 Color Guard performing full military honors. In lieu of flowers and plants, memorials may be given to the Jerseyville American Legion Post 492 Color Guard. Crawford Funeral Home in Jerseyville is in charge of arrangements.

John Joseph Fell, 83, of Jerseyville died Saturday, June 7, 2014 surrounded by his family at Des Peres Hospital in St. Louis, Mo. He was born on Jan. 13, 1931, in Council Bluffs, Iowa, one of seven children born to the late “AP” and Jenny (Byers) Fell. John grew up in Council Bluffs, graduating in 1949 before joining the military where he served with the United States Army. Upon his return from the military, John married the former Nancy Marron on July 29, 1961 in Omaha, Neb., and together the two have been blessed with 53 years of marriage and four sons. John farmed until he and Nancy’s first son was born when he started an insurance agency in Council Bluffs which eventually led him to begin a career in banking in 1972 with State Bank & Trust in Modale, Iowa where he worked for several years before relocating to Mount Ayr, Iowa where he worked for the former Hawkeye State Bank. After moving to Jerseyville in 1987, John began working at Citizens State Bank in Shipman, where he would eventually retire as vice president in 1997. A dedicated man, John gave much of his time to serving his family and others. He served on the school board in various capacities, including president while in Modale, and was an active member of the Lions Club for many years. John was committed to his faith, praying the rosary every day and was an active parishioner throughout his life, serving in many capacities at his parishes.

SPORTS Carrollton's Coonrod drafted by Giants Panthers chased down B8

Wednesday, June 11, 2014 Jerseyville, Illinois

HIGH SCHOOL BASEBALL | TROY CLASS 3A SECTIONAL

Jersey bows out after 24-13 year

The second-winningest season in Jersey Community High School baseball history came to a close in the semifinals of the Troy Class 3A Sectional when Mississippi Valley Conference champion Mascoutah won a 9-1 decision Thursday at Triad High School. The Indians went on to win the Troy Sectional championship by beating Salem 2-1 Saturday before ending its season 32-6 after a 5-2 loss to Sacred Heart-Griffin Monday at the Sauget Super-Sectional. Jersey bowed out of the postseason with a 24-13 record, just two wins shy of the all-time school record. Mascoutah jumped on top of Jersey for a 5-0 lead through the first three and a half innings before the Panthers plated their lone run in the bottom of the fourth. Christian Kimble led off the frame by legging out an infield single before reaching third base on a wild pitch and ground ball by Luke Shively. Hunter Bryant brought Kimble home to score on a sacrifice fly to right field to cut the Indians' lead to 5-1, but Mascoutah answered back with a pair of runs each in the fifth and seventh innings. The Panthers got additional singles from Shively and Lane Powers and Kimble added a sixthinning double, but Jersey had trouble consistently connecting against Mascoutah ace and Southern Illinois University-bound Ryan Netemeyer.

Jersey eyeing more softball success

SAM ELLioTT Jersey County Journal The Jersey Community High School softball team set a program record for wins in a single season by tallying 17 victories during the 2014 campaign, but it's a record the Lady Panthers hope is short lived. "I can see they're hungry enough that they'll want to beat that record next year," JCHS head coach Julie Muenstermann said. "These girls did two-a-day practices and they worked harder than any group I’ve had." Fortunately for Muenstermann, the vast majority of this season's record-setting squad will return to the team for the 2015 campaign. Just three of the roster's 23 players have been lost to graduation — although the experience pitcher Macy Thurston, catcher Jessica Bradfisch and outfielder Val Tonsor brought to the team played a valuable part in bringing along their younger teammates. "You’re talking about a pitcher-catcher combination that had a lot of experience," Muenstermann said. "You can’t teach that and that goes along with some confidence. Sometimes the younger girls lack that because of a lack of experience. They were a great group to have and I was happy to have them this year. Not only are they good ballplayers, they’re good kids, great citizens, keep eligible academically and they’re good at everything they do." But the Lady Panthers have no lack of options at filling the void left by their important 2014 senior class. "I’m sad to see our three seniors leave," Muenstermann said. "They’ll be hard shoes to fill, but with the five freshman I had out there and the two on the bench and the two sophomores, I’m expecting big things next year." Jersey's 17-16 2014 season has set the program's new high bar, but a batch of young players who have only known winning ways at the varsity level will return next season hungry for more. selliott@campbellpublications.net

For the 2011 Carrollton High School graduate, it's time to go to work. Coonrod was drafted by the San Francisco Giants in the fifth round of the 2014 Major League Baseball Draft Friday. He was the 148th overall selection. "I was at my grandparents’ house in Carrollton. The Giants called my agent and my agent called me. It was very exciting," Coonrod said. "I was even happier it was the Giants because that’s a winning organization. If I had gotten to pick, that would be the team I wanted to go to." Coodrod played a big role in the Hawks' winning during his time at Carrollton High School. The team went 108-27-1 overall during his four years with the program and Coonrod went 11-0 from the pitchers' mound his senior season with a 1.35 earned-run average and 113 strikeouts in 62 innings. Carrollton won the IHSA Class 1A state championship that season. "I owe a lot of credit to coach [Greg] Pohlman and his family," Coonrod said. "He got it all started for me." The right-hander has spent the past three seasons playing for Southern Illinois University in Carbondale while pitching for

summer league teams in Quincy and Cape Cod, Mass. After 40 starts and 48 total appearances with the Salukis, Coonrod ended his collegiate career with an 8-17 record with a 3.85 ERA and 199 strikeouts in just more than 228 innings of work. He posted a 2.87 ERA this past season at SIU with 77 strikeouts in just less than 85 innings. "I went into SIU at like 159 pounds and came out at like 217. I gained a lot of muscle," Coonrod said. "I just learned a lot about the mental part of pitching and the mechanical aspect. I worked on fixing my delivery and improving my emotions. That was probably one of the most important things I learned." The fastball that was Coonrod's signature pitch in high school is still his most dangerous effort, but he's since added a slider and changeup to his arsenal. "I throw the fastball a lot, but it's more about putting it where I want now instead of just blowing it by people," Coonrod said. "This year it was down a bit. I don't know why, but I'm hoping to get it back up. I was at 98 [mph] last summer, but this year I sat around 91-94 and hit 95 or 96 a few times." Coonrod doesn't yet know for sure where within the Giants' farm system he'll begin his professional baseball career, but he expects to receive his assignment from the organization soon and said he can't wait to get started. selliott@campbellpublications.net

Jersey Community High School senior Macy Thurston delivers a pitch in the Lady Panthers' season finale against Highland Wednesday, May 28, at the Troy Class 3A Regional. Thurston and senior classmates Jessica Bradfisch and Val Tonsor helped lead an underclassmen-dominated roster to the program's winningest season in school history with a 17-16 final record.
