District 100 puts sales tax on ballot

By BOB CROSSEN Jersey County Journal The Jersey Community Unit School District 100 board approved to place a referendum on the November ballot for the school facilities occupation tax during a board meeting June 19.

All members voted in favor of placing the item on the ballot except Bill Yamnitz, board member, who voted No. This marks the second time in little more than a year that the school district has placed the question on the ballot for voters; however, this time the sales tax to be imposed – should the referendum pass – is $0.01 rather than $0.0075. Voters shot down the referendum in a 2,040 to 1,189 vote during an election in April 2013.

Opponents of the school At $0.01, the sales f a c i l i t i e s occupation tax would rake tax said the in approximately tax would force people $1 million each to purchase year, which the their items outside the school district c o u n t y, could use to pay which would be detrimenfor upgrades to tal to the facilities, safety local business econofeatures for my.

Grafton increases bidding limit to $20,000

By BOB CROSSEN Jersey County Journal The Grafton City Council approved an amendment to city code to increase the bidding limit for city projects from $10,000 to $20,000, as allowed by state statute in a contested vote during a meeting June 24.

The limit is set in place so that any work done above the limit amount must be put through a formal bidding process with proper notification. That means the city could approve any contracted work without bids, provided the cost is less than $20,000.

Alderwoman Pam Bick was not present for the meeting and did not vote on the measure, and Alderwoman Flo Rowling abstained.

Alderman Jerry Bauersachs voted No to the increase while alderpersons Charlie Linnemeyer, Bobbie Amburg and Joe Carey voted in favor of the issue.

Bauersachs worried increasing the bidding limit could create controversy and artificially inflate quotes from local contractors for simple work. He referenced receiving quotes to demolish the motel on Illinois Route 3, noting that the quote came in around $9,500, just under the $10,000 mark.

“If we had a $20,000 limit, he could have put it at $19,500 because we don’t go get a bid or a quote from somebody else,” Bauersachs said. “You’re going to save money if you go out for bids on anything over $10,000 because you’re going to get a better price.”

the work,” Grafton Mayor Tom Thompson said.

The mayor said increasing the limit does not prohibit the city from seeking bids after receiving the quotes, meaning the city can choose to not accept a quote and seek bids instead.

A member of the public said the increase takes away competition for some of the low-end jobs because the work is not publicized for interest from additional companies or bidders. Bauersachs echoed that claim.

Another issue, he said, concerns possible backdoor deals where two people offer quotes, but the city changes options within a quote at the last minute to get a lower quote from one entity, but does not offer the same to the other.

“That’s not a really good practice to follow. That’s why I think it should stay at $10,000,” Bauersachs said.

Proponents of the bidding limit increase said it would promote the local contractors more because they’ll be able to do bigger jobs with the city without the need to compete in a bidding war.

“I see so much work that gets away from our local skilled craftsmen that have equipment invested in the business, but they never have the opportunity to put in for

Angie Elliott, owner of 2nd Time Around, arranges merchandise Tuesday at the store's new location on South State Street. The shop will have a grand opening event on Friday and Saturday.

2nd Time Around moves to second location

By ROBERT LYONS Jersey County Journal What started as a once-a-month offering turned into a full-time business for Jerseyville’s Angie Elliott.

2nd Time Around is a consignment shop that began four years ago as a part-time venture. Now, the store is getting ready to celebrate the grand opening of its new, permanent location.

“It wasn’t even supposed to be like this,” Elliott said. “It kind of snowballed.”

Elliott said her intentions were to offer a yard sale one weekend a month at a building she rented on Carpenter Street, next to McCarry’s Dairlyland.

However, it quickly became increasingly popular and soon it was open

“It wasn’t even supposed to be like this.

It kind of snowballed.”

Angie Elliott Owner, 2nd Time Around two weekends each month. Before long it was every weekend, then every day.

“I really didn’t open it,” she said.

“I did it one time, because that building was empty, and people loved it.

People where asking, ‘Why don’t you do it again?’ and ‘When is your next one?’ I did so well that I did it again.”

Now, Elliott just opened up shop at a new location on State Street in a building she bought.

She said the new location has several advantages. In addition to being in Jerseyville’s newly established tax increment finance (TIF) district – making assistance for improvements a possibility – Elliott owns the new building. The building, located on State Street next to National Rent to Own, was last operated as a pawn shop several years ago.

“It’s a better location, there’s more traffic flow,” she said. “When (See, locAtion, A2) C

By SAM ELLIOTT Jersey County Journal The Jerseyville City Council approved for repairs to be made to an elevator at the Nutwood water plant, received copies of the city’s 2014-15 appropriation ordinance for review and scheduled a pair of public hearings among other business Tuesday night at city hall.

Testing in preparation for its annual inspection brought the Nutwood elevator’s repair needs to the attention of water plant officials.

“In order to do the annual inspections, part of the testing has discovered we blew a seal trying to get the hydraulics to pressurize,” city engineer Bob Kincade said. “They replaced that seal and tried to bring it up again and they blew out the bottom of the piston that operates the platform.”

The elevator is original to the building, built in 1962, and is a necessity for the plant’s day-to-day operations.

“This is a three-floor lift and we use it to move equipment, materials and chemicals from one floor to the other.

It is relatively essential for us,” Kincade said. “Right now, all our equipment and chemicals that come into the water plant are being stored on the primary floor.

It cuts down the amount of storage we have and should something go wrong on one of the other floors, it’d be quite cumbersome to remove equipment or replace equipment if needed.”

The estimated cost for the repairs is $57,800.

“We’ve got pumps and valves in the basement and there’s no way we can manhandle that stuff up and down the stairs,” plant foreman Dan DeSherlia said. “We have to have some type of elevator to do it.”

The cost of the elevator repairs was a late addition to the city’s 2014-15 appropriation ordinance, which alderwoman Yvonne Hartmann presented to the rest of the council for review Tuesday.

“It looks, tentatively right now, that it’s going to be about $3 million less than last year — which is good news,” Hartmann said.

City council members have four weeks to review the appropriation ordinance, which must be filed with the county clerk’s office by the end of July.

There will be a public hearing regarding the ordinance at 5:30 p.m. Tuesday, July 22, at city hall.

“We’ll discuss it more fully at the public hearing on July 22,” Hartmann said. “It’s available for public inspection to anybody who wants to sit down and look at it.”

In other business, the council: n Rescheduled a public hearing regarding the trading of property at the industrial park — originally set for Tuesday, July 8 — to 5:45 p.m. Tuesday, July 22 at City Hall. n Approved the closure of certain Jerseyville roads to accommodate the Splash Dash 5K Run, an event scheduled for 9 a.m. Saturday, September 27. Sponsored by the Crusader Foundation, the fundraiser will benefit the Jersey Community Unit School District No. 100 special education and autism programs. Streets to be affected by the event’s route include West Fairgrounds, Black Cherry, Hollow, Westlake and Parr. n Approved a tourism grant for the annual Apple Festival — set for Saturday, Oct. 4 — in the amount of $1,600. n Approved a Shriner’s Hospital paper drive for Saturday, Sept. 20, at the intersection of State Highway 109 and West County Road. n Approved the re-appointment of John Hefner to the police pension board for a two-year term. n Approved the list of bills as presented in the amount of $400,951.81. n Approved the minutes of its previous regular meeting from Tuesday, June 10.

Jerseyville, Illinois

Recommendation pending regarding Fieldon dog Bob CROSSEn Jersey County Journal The Fieldon village attorney is still awaiting a final report before making a recommendation to the village board on how to proceed with complaints against a local dog.

Kevin Tellor, ordinance prosecutor for the village of Fieldon, said no formal action has been taken against Amy Woelfel or her dog because the investigation is in its infancy as statements have not yet been filed while the case officer is on medical leave.

Tellor did say there have been at least two complaints of the dog, Violet, but the nature of those complaints is not completely clear because official statements have not been made.

“I told the village we need to have statements taken, and basically do a report, so I can review what evidence we do have in conjunction with the statute to make a determination whether or not the village should proceed in looking to have the dog being [deemed] either dangerous or vicious,” Tellor said.

He said information was sent to the owners of the dog indicating the procedures and processes that would take place if the dog were deemed dangerous or vicious.

Woelfel is the owner of Violet, a nearly 2-year-old pitbull, at the

heart of the issue. She said her neighbor, who is the grandson of Mayor Betty Duggan, has begun a campaign to get the dog taken away from her home.

When opening the door one day to enter the kitchen, Woelfel said her chocolate labrador, Mason, ran out the kitchen door when Violet followed. Violet ran around the house and Violet ended up in the driveway of Woelfel’s neighbor.

“When she ran up the neighbor’s driveway, the neighbor was out, and they scared each other,” Woelfel said. “Violet, my dog, apparently growled at him because she’s a dog and that’s what dogs do, and he walked up and kicked her in the face.

“She came running home. Her face was red. She ran into the house, straight into her kennel and laid there. We could not coax her out of her kennel for almost an hour. She just laid there shaking.”

Woelfel said the neighbor called her husband screaming on the phone about the dog being a menace to him, saying the family needs to get rid of the dog.

The next day, Woelfel said her neighbor’s father explained the family must get rid of the dog or he would make them get rid of her. He gave the family a date to have the dog out of the house.

When contacting the neighbor by phone, a woman answered the

call and said the man who allegedly kicked the dog does not want to comment on the matter.

Woelfel said her dog is being harshly judged because of the stigma tied to pitbulls.

“Violet does not have a mean bone in her body to bite anyone,” Woelfel said. “She barks and she growls because she’s a dog. When she goes outside, she is immediately hooked up to a lead.”

The pitbull itself is not a single breed of dog, but rather refers to a few breeds, all of which are terriers.

The three most common pitbull breeds are the American pitbull terrier, American staffordshire terrier and the staffordshire bull terrier.

The American Temperament Test Society studies numerous dogs for each breed in multiple situations to discern which breeds are more temperamental than others.

According to ATTS’s results from 2013, the three breeds commonly referred to as pitbulls are less temperamental than golden retrievers and yorkshire terriers.

Despite tying the dogs up when they go outside, Woelfel said she and her husband have taken money out of their savings account to construct a privacy fence in the hopes than an enclosure will allow the family to keep its dog.

It is not clear when a decision will be made on the matter.

NWS forecasts minor flooding in Grafton; no impact expected

By ROBERT LyOnS Jersey County Journal The Mississippi River is on the rise around Grafton, reaching minor flood stage on Tuesday, but business in the tourist destination is not expected to be affected.

According to data from the National Weather Service, the river rose to 18.22 feet early Tuesday afternoon and is forecasted to continue to climb until Sunday, when it is predicted to hit 20.8 feet.

Grafton Police Chief Chris Sullivan said the minor flood stage does not cause many issues within the city.

“Obviously we’re making the usual and normal preparations, but it doesn’t appear that it will affect the highway, at least from what we can tell,” Sullivan said.

Sullivan said the main preparation for a flooding event such as the one in the forecast is simply ensuring the town is on alert in case there is more rain. He said just more than 20 feet of water does not call for too much physical action.

“That will have very little impact on Grafton,”

Sullivan said. “That will not shut any of the roadways down, minor flooding will be down along the riverbank areas. The marina floats, so it will raise and not be impacted. All business should be open.”

The National Weather Service (NWS) flood impact information notes that at 18 feet, farmland in the area begins to be flooded. But, it’s not until 24 feet that Route 100 begins to flood at Chautaqua and Elsah. At 24.7 feet the highway begins to flood in portions of Grafton.

Because river level predictions are generally only given for a few days into the future, Sullivan said there’s a chance Grafton could experience higher water than the NWS’s current forecast.

“If it would raise another three and a half, to four feet and get somewhere around 24.5 feet, at that point it might begin to have a serious impact on us,” Sullivan said.

In 2013, two of the highest crests in the city were recorded – 29.43 feet on April 25 and 30.94 feet on June 4. The river’s highest point on record, however, remains 38.17 feet on Aug. 1, 1993.

Amburg said the limit was $20,000 for many years in Grafton but was lowered to $10,000 after her term as mayor. Bauersachs said he felt the higher bidding limit was less advantageous, but a vote of the council approved the increase.

Additionally, City Attorney Jim Schrempf said he is working with city officials to disclose alderperson’s property that is located within the city’s tax increment financing (TIF) district.

“This is something that has been ignored for a number of years. No one has really complained about it in terms of the other taxing districts,” Schrempf said.

He said the council members may either disclose the property’s address, date of acquisition of the property and percent of ownership, or members with property in the district must refrain from all action pertaining to use of TIF money.

Because TIF districts cover nearly all of Grafton, refraining from action regarding TIF expenses would make it impossible for the city to complete any TIF work. He said the properties may be taken out of the TIF district with the disclosure, allowing the council members to take action for TIF-related projects.

Rowling said her property had been removed when she was on the council near the onset of the TIF district that began in 1994, but upon leaving the council, she said her property was placed back into the TIF district.

When she was re-elected, she said the property had not been taken back out. Schrempf said there are a

There will be a ribbon cutting ceremony for the new location, 905 South State Street, at 10 a.m. on Friday. In addition to sales throughout the day on Friday and Saturday, there will be refreshments and door prizes.

The tax would not be imposed on real estate purchases, either.

The tax would be imposed on retail purchases like televisions, clothes, food prepared for consumption at restaurants and other shopping items. Services and items that are not currently taxed would not be taxed with the facility occupation tax.

Board member Amanda Vaughn questioned if the district can use the money for backdoor funding of teacher salaries, which Dr. Hopkins said cannot be done.

The school district may not take out bonds to pay for salaries and pay back those bonds with the facility sales tax, nor may it pay back the working cash bonds it issued earlier this year with the sales tax money.

The district could not use it for any costs pertaining to instruction, including textbooks or computers, nor would it be able to use the money to buy buses or detached furniture and fixtures.

If the referendum were to pass, the tax money would be received monthly, beginning approximately four months after the tax had been imposed. Hopkins said the money follows the student and bypasses the Illinois General Assembly.

“That means the state does not get their hands on it,” Hopkins said.

A struggling economy is a driving force behind her business’ success, Elliott said. She said the closing of Salvation Army’s thrift shop in 2011 pushed even more customers to her shop.

“Yard sales are very popular around here,” she said. “People want good things for cheaper prices, trying to save a buck any way they can.

Some jeans retail for $50 or $60 in the stores, and I have them $5. People come in and look for play clothes for their kids, and they can get those for a quarter or 50 cents. So, it’s the best of both worlds.”

Board President Ed Test said approval of the sales tax would be a first step toward finding financial stability for the district during struggling years.

Mississippi Half Step closes doors Sunday

By BoB Crossen Jersey County Journal After more than nine years in the restaurant industry, owners of The Mississippi Half Step in Grafton along the Mississippi River Road will close the business’ doors June 29.

Carla Newton, Mississippi Half Step owner, said she and her husband, Jim, are looking for a break from the stress of owning a restaurant to focus on their family.

“As you can imagine, it’s a very exhausting and mentally challenging occupation,” Newton said. “We love it so much, but we just need to take a break.”

She said working at the restaurant has conflicted with weekends they wanted to spend with their daughter, and felt moving into the workforce through different avenues would be the best option for the family as it grows.

Leaving an industry in which the two have spent so many years is bittersweet, she said, noting the two do not plan to open another restaurant at this time, although a restaurant is not completely removed from the couple’s future.

She said the building will be sold with the

hope of finding another person to open a restaurant in the structure located at 420 East Main St. Overnight stays will be made on a week-by-week basis, depending on the sale of the building.

There are many loyal customers for the business, Newton added, noting that the regulars can continue to remain in contact with her and her husband through the Mississippi Half Step Facebook page.

“We’re going to keep them updated with what’s going on and if we choose to open another restaurant in the future, we’ll definitely post it there first and let everybody know,” Newton said.

Most surprising, she said, was that all the employees chose to work during the final weeks the restaurant is open, including two who have worked for the Mississippi Half Step since the day it started operations.

That loyalty for the company is something special, she said, noting the employees are going to be the one thing she misses the most.

“The one thing that brings tears to my eyes is that every single employee worked for me this week. Every single one of them is going to work next week,” Newton said with a crack in her voice, explaining she expected some to walk out.

“They didn’t. They all stayed, and we’re going to pay them. … I can’t believe they keep coming to work. We’re so happy they’re standing behind us because if they wouldn’t, we couldn’t do it.”

The Newtons do not plan to move out of the Rosedale area where they live, and Newton said she will continue to organize Grafton’s Music in the Park on Thursday evenings, despite the restaurant’s closure.

“I’m still going to continue to manage Grafton’s Music in the Park,” Newton said. “I’m a member of the chamber of the commerce, so I still plan to be involved with that. You’ll still see us around town.”

Those interested in getting a meal from the Mississippi Half Step before it closes have until June 29. Newton said the menu will be diminishing throughout the final week, adding not all items will be available to patrons based on the availability of the food as items are sold out.

The Mississippi Half Step is open Wednesday through Sunday starting at 11 a.m. The business closes at 10 p.m. Friday and Saturday and at 9 p.m. on all other days.

To remain informed about the business owners, follow the Mississippi Half Step on Facebook.

Barbecue stands out at fairgrounds

By BoB Crossen Jersey County Journal Smoked and grilled meats were king Saturday during the Jersey Community High School wrestling team’s first ever BBQ Cook Off at the American Legion Fairgrounds.

The day-long event held competitions for chicken, baked beans, ribs and pork shoulders and attendees could sample all the food, giving tickets to the team they felt had the best item in each category.

Allen Snyder, JCHS wrestling coach, said the event was designed as a fundraiser after a few years of consideration by himself and the coaching staff. He said he would have preferred to have more contestants for the first year, but said word of mouth should make the event more popular by next summer.

“It’s a family atmosphere and we’re going to try to keep making it bigger and put more stuff with it,” Snyder said, noting he’d like to have a car or motorcycle show with the event to bring more people in, while still focusing on the barbecue.

He said creating the fundraiser – the money from which is going towards a new wrestling mat – is necessary with the school district’s financial situation. Earlier this year, the district cut stipends for assistant coaches to all sports, except high school football, placing a strain on the smaller clubs.

“We’re trying to self-support and take all the burden off of them that we can,” Snyder said. “We don’t want to sell candy bars or ice cream, stuff that the people have to buy. We

want to create a service.”

Snyder wants people to attend the event because they want to and because they enjoy coming for the food and atmosphere. Fostering a community to fundraise for the wrestling program, many of the contestants said they felt united.

Jeff Peterson and Kevin Bizaillion, competitors at the cook off, said they liked that the cook off had a more amateur feel. There wasn’t a large amount of pressure to perform and because it was the first time at a cook off for many of the competitors, they all rallied around each other for support.

“It was perfect for us, the fact that there were so few teams and everybody else didn’t know what they were doing either. It kind of helped,” Peterson said.

Peterson said he and Bizaillion barbecue all year round as a hobby.

The two are architects, he added, but have a passion for cooking. Peterson was a chef for a while and Bizaillion said he would like to be a chef himself.

The cook off Saturday was a step toward understanding what it would be like to compete in cooking competitions.

“It’s a big learning experience,” Bizaillion said, adding the wind made applying rub to some of the meats difficult for him and Peterson.

Though it landed on a backyard cook out atmosphere, Snyder said he looked into getting certified judges for the event, but found he would have to pay for their travel, car rental and housing for the cook off in addition to paying them for their services.

Rather than spend the money to do so, he decided a backyard cook out feel would be more welcoming to both competitors and patrons.

Nannette Wethington, attendee of the cook off Saturday, said everybody at the cook off has been friendly and the food samples were flavorful, though she had to take breaks between samplings.

She said she has been to other contests, noting the baked beans category is something new.

“From all the other contests we’ve been to, we’ve never been to one that has the beans as part of the competition, so that was unusual and they were good,” Wethington said. “The

ribs are usually our favorite.”

Wethington said she would like to see the cook off grow for next year with more competitors and even more people coming to sample the food. She said the more the event is held, the more people will want to come visit.

Mandy Hall said she and her family didn’t know about the cook off until they passed the sign on U.S. 67 pointing towards the fairgrounds, alerting them to the event. She said the family turned around to attend.

“We live around Jerseyville, but we’ve never been here,” Hall said.

Sales tax will be a tough sell

Publisher and Editor: Julie Boren publisher@campbellpublications.net

The Issue: School district’s pursuit of sales tax.

Our View: History, economy stand in the way.

I

Regional Editor: Robert Lyons jcjnews@campbellpublications.net

s it a mistrust of the school district? Or have residents just had enough of being taxed?

Maybe it’s both.

Jersey Community Unit School District is once again pursuing a one percent sales tax, asking voters for the second time in just more than a year to help get a handle on the financial crisis. But, if the results of the April 2013 election are any indication, it won’t be an easy sell.

When it comes to the school district these days, almost any issue has the ability to become divisive and create controversy. People seem genuinely uneasy about the motives of those in charge.

It likely all comes down to one major snafu.

Erecting a new high school a decade ago probably wasn’t the best move the leaders of the district ever made. The old building may have been ailing, but the voters said “No” to the new high school, twice. But, those in charge found a way to get it done anyway. For some residents, it seems, the sting and feelings of betrayal caused by the construction of the building are still fresh. Perhaps, rightly so.

But, things are different. There are different people running the district office and on the school board. The financial struggles now versus then are much more intense. However, the one thing that has, thankfully, remained constant is the students. It was about providing the best for students then with a new school and it should be now, with the sales tax.

Because money collected through this particular tax can be used only to maintain and upgrade facilities, as well as pay down bonded debt like that used to fund the East Elementary renovation, there should be no question what the people are paying for.

The droves of tourists flocking to Grafton throughout the year could be contributing to our school district with every dollar they spend on food, alcohol and souvenirs. The sales tax could be a step toward alleviating some of the strain on property owners.

No one likes to pay more taxes. The cost of maintaining a quality public school system is falling more and more on taxpayers, not just here but, statewide. Instead of viewing the one percent sales tax as another attempt to relieve your wallet of money, it could be viewed as a way to spread the burden to renters and visitors, who shop at our Walmart and eat at our restaurants.

We’re not saying the tax should or shouldn’t be implemented. It’s just that when this issue comes up for vote in November, it may not be a slam dunk, either way.

Don’t look a gift horse in the mouth D

on’t look a gift horse in the mouth, it seems, can be traced back to St. Jerome, who referred to it as a common saying in his introductory remarks to the Epistle to the Ephesians in his translation of the New Testament: “Equi donati dentes non inspiciuntur.”

A rather mangled literal translation would go something like this: “A given horse’s teeth are not inspected.”

Horses’ gums recede as they age making their teeth appear longer (hence the term, “long in the tooth”). Inspecting the teeth of a horse given as a gift was considered ungrateful. It would mean that recipient is trying to see if the horse is old (undesirable) or young (more desirable).

Therefore, something good that is given either directly or indirectly should not be questioned.

You will find the gift horse referred to several times in this fictional narrative. I hope you enjoy it.

Let’s look at what the ordinary day entails. We rise at 6 a.m. No morning is perfect and therefore glitches begin forming in the routine. Someone needs some extra time in the bathroom and that puts us behind by maybe five minutes. I can’t find the right shoes to match my outfit for the day. My hair has decided it has a life of its own and will not comply to my wishes. Someone lost his backpack and thinks he may have left it on the bus. He doesn’t mention it before now so that means his homework is undone if he has any. No one can decide what they want to eat for breakfast or if they even want to eat.

And, to top things off, the dog decides to vary from his regular outside routine and takes off down the street to roam the neighborhood before coming home like a good boy. Breakfast dishes in the sink, dog is back, kisses are exchanged at the door, son is on the bus, husband, who is always so organized, drives off for a very busy day, and my car actually starts on the first try. At least I didn’t forget where I put my car keys and I remember everything without having to go back inside. That’s very promising.

The drive to work goes relatively well until the driver in the car in front of me decides to turn without letting me know. How very rude! Some bitter words come to mind, but I fight off the temptation, I breathe a sigh of relief, and continue my merry way. Pulling into the parking lot at work I find a great spot. Of course I did, it isn’t raining or snowing! However, not to look a gift horse in the mouth, I am happy with circumstances. I am early and am now looking forward to a very produc-

tive day. Upon entering my office it occurs to me this is Tuesday, reports are due and I am not prepared. As in all good office or workplace scenarios, a hot steaming cup of coffee sounds wonderful and will certainly speed up the process. Into the coffee alcove I go and find that someone has beat me to the pot and its almost empty. But, this is not a bad thing. With a smile on my face, I can now proceed to make the coffee just the way I like it. Most days the stars will fall into place and the numbers on the reports, as well. I complete my task in good time and am ready for the 10:30 a.m. deadline. My morning is nearly complete and my day, so far, seems very promising. Actually, I cleared some ominous hurdles and experienced no failures. There’s that “gift horse.”

After lunch, refreshed, I can manage just about anything that comes my way.

I try to sign on to my computer and find the system is down. I often wonder, who in their right mind would invent a computer system that quits working just when a person needs it? Ah, “call the tech team,” says I, “I’m sure they will be able to have me up and running in no time.” I call Al, who is 300 miles away at the main office. I explain to him my dilemma and he proceeds to tell me that there is no problem. Everything in his computer lab that services my system looks hunky-dory. “Ah, no”, I tell him, “my PC isn’t working.” “Everything is not hunky-dory here.” To which he says, “Are you sure it’s plugged in?” If you’ve been in this situation you know what an inane question this is, and how very uninformed techs think we are about such things. “I can absolutely guarantee it’s plugged in, that was the first thing I checked.” One hour later we achieve success. I thank Al for being so kind and understanding during this whole process, although I know he is thinking “What has she done to that thing?” At this point I think a restroom break is well earned.

The afternoon goes to completion and I’m thankful for good things and head out the door ready to tackle the super market on the way home. I have several things in mind for dinner and can hopefully get in and out without spending a lot of time. What is going on here? Twice in one day? But, remember “no looking a gift horse in the mouth.” Ironically, at this time of day when the market isn’t too crowded it’s rather refreshing to stroll the aisles with your cart and soak in all the good things and just chill. I am so hungry, and remember, as a note to myself, no

chocolate this Guest time. As you Column tell your son, “It isn’t good for BY you, and it will MADELEINE spoil your dinner.” Finding KUEHNEL everything I need in the meantime I gladly check out and head home to hopefully find everything going well.

As I pull into the driveway my son comes running to tell me the dog ran away again and this time he didn’t come back. His plan has evidently changed again. All seems to be orderly inside and after changing into appropriately comfortable clothing, preparations for the meal begin. Husband calls to say he’s stuck on the job and will be a little late for dinner. That is not a bad thing. It gives my son and me time to take a look around the neighborhood for that darned dog. I grab the leash and we head off in his favorite direction, muttering to myself and hoping this will not take long. A little way down the street we spy him and he spies us. He knows he’s in trouble and runs away. The most infuriating thing he could have done and he’s really in for it now. I send my son after him and circle around to try to trap him between us. As we close in on him he knows he’s had it. Ears droop and tail goes between legs with that sorrowful look in the eyes knowing his fun is over for the day. It’s a beautiful evening and we can at least enjoy the walk back to the house. Dinner preparations can now proceed and I can take a few minutes to sit down and look at the day’s mail.

Hey, no bills! There’s that “gift horse” again. Son’s homework is progressing nicely on the dining room table and all is right with the world at this moment.

Husband gets home, he’s very tired, and in time to eat while the food is still hot. Evening plans are to stay in for the night and enjoy ourselves and our home with which we are so richly blessed.

Lights go out around 10 p.m. with the anticipation of getting some good rest and preparing for another day.

We think we lead pretty ordinary days until we take an actual look at what makes our world go round. Rethinking the day is when it all begins to make sense and we feel that we accomplish many things that make a worthwhile existence. This day is a gift from God, and we know to never question His gifts.

etting ready for the big move is a very daunting task. It has caused me to become very focused on what is needed, what is desirable, and what’s important. Downsizing has been paramount. And figuring out the best method to dispose of the discards has proven challenging as well.

All throughout the process there have been many hard decisions to make and many fun memories to relive… the things I have uncovered after not realizing I still had them has proven to be very surprising. Deciding whether to keep them, pass them on, or throw them away has been among the hardest decisions to be made in recent days.

Nonetheless, West Virginia, here I come!

Sentimental clutter plagues our lives…our homes, our workplaces, our vehicles. It’s most epidemic in our attics, basements, closets, garages, and desks. Those trinkets that we hold onto keep us from moving forward with our lives, both physically and emotionally. After all, if there is so much of the past taking up space in the present, there isn’t room for us to grow into our futures.

In an article entitled “What is nostalgia good for?” published by the BBC News that discussed recent findings from the financial services firm Standard Life, the book Get It Together

by Damian Barr, and research conducted by psychologist Clay Routledge at North Dakota State University, why we

accumulate so many sentimental items and have even greater difficulty letting them go was explored.

Routledge pointed out in this article that, “Most of our days are often filled with routine activities that aren’t particularly significant — shopping for groceries, commuting to work and so forth. Nostalgia is a way for us to tap into the past experiences that we have that are quite meaningful — to remind us that our lives are worthwhile, that we are people of value, that we have good relationships, that we are happy and that life has some sense of purpose or meaning.”

The “stuff” we hold onto is often kept because of this nostalgic value. We think that if we hold onto it, the sight of it will remind us of our worthiness in the world. To be able to touch it might help us to recall the memories that surround it. We convince ourselves that moments of emptiness and feelings of sadness will go away if we just keep ourselves surrounded by all the “stuff” that makes us feel good.

A need for security is another reason we hold onto “stuff.” We feel secure when there is stability and feel insecure when there’s uncertainty. We feel the need to keep holding on to things just in case we need them in the future. What if we run out? What if we don’t have enough?

There is also an unconscious security in being surrounded by things we know when we are otherwise in

Holding on to stuff becomes a sort of personal “worth insurance” to protect against the unknown in which we are now forced to face.

In essence, we hold onto “stuff” because we have embedded it with our memories. We are afraid if we let go of our “stuff” that our memories will disappear too. We also hold on to “stuff” to build up a buffer between ourselves and poverty, scarcity, uncertainty, or loneliness…or so we think.

However, life’s cold, hard reality is this: when it comes down to it, we don’t really need that “stuff” to live and thrive. Most of the “stuff” we accumulated has been in an attempt to insulate ourselves from the emptiness we feel from within. To really feel good about ourselves, we have to be happy with who we are from the inside out. All the “stuff” in the world will not satisfy an unhappy, un-peaceful soul.

In preparing for the big move, I have now made a lot of space for growing into my future…and I can honestly say that my happy soul is at peace…and there’s a lot less “stuff” in my way!

Governor Quinn signs legislation to improve safety in schools across Illinois Governor Pat Quinn recently visited RESA Middle School in Rockford to sign three new pieces of legislation that help increase safety, ensure crisis planning and provide security improvements at all Illinois schools.

These actions are part of Gov. Quinn’s agenda to provide a safe learning environment for all Illinois students.

“Nothing is more important than keeping our classrooms safe,” Gov. Quinn said. “Preparation and knowledge are part of that curriculum – preparing for emergencies we hope will never occur, and knowing what to do if confronted with a crisis.”

“Parents need to have confidence that their children will be safe throughout the school day and kids should be able to focus solely on their studies,” State Schools Superintendent Christopher A. Koch said. “These new laws provide the impetus and resources to make schools safer.”

Senate Bill 2710, sponsored

by State Senator Bill Cunningham (D-Chicago) and State Representative Lawrence M. Walsh Jr. (D-Elwood), extends a key school safety measure that currently covers public schools to the state’s approximately 1,800 private schools. A law proposed and signed by Governor Quinn last year requires all school districts to conduct an annual safety drill, in conjunction with law enforcement officials, which prepares students for potential shooting situations. That law requires public school districts to do an annual review in light of that drill of each school’s emergency and crisis plans and procedures. Senate Bill 2710 requires that private schools conduct that same annual review of their crisis plans to better protect the 300,000 private school students in Illinois. The legislation is effective immediately.

Senate Bill 2934, sponsored by State Senator Steve Stadelman (D-Rockford) and Representative Walsh, makes one of Gov. Quinn’s initiatives to fund school safety improvements an official part of state statutes. Earlier this year the Illinois Emergency Management Agency (IEMA) awarded $25 million for security improvements to public K – 12 schools. This legislation allows this school safety program to continue when funds are available and also adds private K – 12 schools, area vocational centers, regional safe schools and public colleges and universities to the list of eligible schools.

The new law is effective immediately.

“This is an excellent opportunity to improve local schools and the safety of our children,” Senator Stadelman

said. “The safety grants are possible because of the work we have done to ensure that students in K-12 deserve a safe learning environment just like those in higher education.”

“I’m proud to work with IEMA, local schools and area vocational schools to make sure when grants become available through IEMA, all entities are qualified and able to apply for these grants to make our schools safer and prepared for any emergency that may arise,” Representative Walsh said.

House Bill 5716, sponsored by State Representative Rich Brauer (R-Petersburg) and Senator Andy Manar (D-Bunker Hill), allows public school districts to make updated emergency and crisis plans available to first responders, teachers and administrators through electronic devices such as smart phones, tablets and laptops. The legislation is effective Jan. 1, 2015.

Gov. Quinn is committed to ensuring school safety across Illinois.

As part of his Illinois Jobs Now! construction program, he recently announced $25 million for more than 1,300 projects to enhance security at schools across Illinois.

Following the deadly school shooting in Newtown, Conn. in December 2012, Gov. Quinn convened top experts from across the state for a School Safety Summit to develop short- and long-term actions to further strengthen school safety. The summit included school district organizations, law enforcement agencies and state agencies, including IEMA. The Governor also led the charge in passing legislation requiring all Illinois schools to hold active safety drills with local law enforcement to ensure they are as prepared as possible in the event of a shooting incident.

Jerseyville, Illinois

IDNR announces schedule of waterfowl blind site drawings Waterfowl hunters are encouraged to mark their calendars for upcoming waterfowl hunting blind site random drawings to be held at several public hunting areas in Illinois this summer.

Duck and goose hunters must register in person for waterfowl blind site drawings and must be present at the drawing – held at each location designated below immediately after the registration period – to claim their blind sites. Mail-in registrations are not accepted. Blind allocations for these sites are good for one year. To participate in a drawing, applicants must present a 2013 or 2014 Illinois hunting or sportsman combination license and a 2013 or 2014 Illinois Migratory Waterfowl Stamp at the time they register, unless exempted by law. Applicants must be at least 16 years old by the date of the drawing.

Applicants needing to purchase new licenses and stamps should do so prior to the drawing. Most blind drawing locations will not have license sales available.

Registrants are no longer required to possess a valid Illinois Firearm Owner’s Identification (FOID) card from the Illinois State Police to participate in blind drawings.

FARM CREDIT SERVICES OPENS IN JERSEY COUNTY

DOORS

From left, Jerseyville Mayor Richard Perdun cuts the ribbon to the new Farm Credit Illinois building in Jersey County Monday around 12 p.m. with Karen Neff, FCI board chair, and David Owens, FCI chief executive officer, and Tom Tracy, FCI senior vice president. The business focuses on helping farmers improve their farms. The new facility, located at 27049 State Route 16 in Jerseyville, features more than 8,300 square feet of office space for up to 15 staff members.

Statement from IDNR director on American black bear sightings The recent sighting of an American black bear in northwest Illinois has, understandably, generated many questions. While these animals once roamed the Illinois landscape 150 years ago, seeing one today can be, at the very least, a startling sight. While the black bear sighted most recently has shown no aggressive behavior towards humans, it should not be approached. Help us keep this bear from being accustomed to people.

Always observe wildlife from a distance.

Currently black bears are not protected under state law. New legisla-

tion passed this spring adds black bears, gray wolves and mountain lions to the list of protected wildlife in Illinois. Even when signed

by Gov. Quinn, the law won’t take effect until January 1, 2015. This means that immediate decisions on the fate of these animals reside with local landowners or municipalities. Once the new law takes effect, the Illinois DNR will have the exclusive statutory authority to manage these animals in Illinois.

Until that time, it is recommend that homeowners in the counties where the bear has been sighted should, for a short period of time,

remove their bird feeders, keep pet food inside, and secure your trash cans and barbecue grills. By removing easy sources of food for the bear, residents can encourage it to stop searching for food near homes. The public is encouraged to visit the living with wildlife in Illinois website at http://web.extension.illinois.edu/wildlife/ for useful information.

Grafton Harbor boat tours and rentals each weekend this summer

By BoB Crossen Jersey County Journal Visitors in Grafton can reserve a spot on a cruise or paddle up and down the river in a rented boat with the Grafton Harbor this summer.

Grafton Harbor began its boat tour and rental services last year with numerous offerings, but this year, Amanda Dufer, cruise director, said the business narrowed its options.

Dufer said the cruises take place at 3 p.m. Friday, Saturday and Sunday each week in Grafton with the option for those interested in private parties to rent the boat. There are also sunset cruises on the second and fourth Saturdays each month.

Last year themes including a shipwreck cruise and wine tasting cruise were offered, and Dufer said those will fall under the private party option.

“It just turned out to be way more work than we could handle to do all those individual cruises like that,” Dufer said. “So we’ve kind of made it to where if you have a birthday party or if you have an idea for a specific kind of cruise, we’ll book your private cruise and help you accomplish that.”

She said the business is making a push for private cruises which have ranges in cost based on how many people take part in the cruise and the time of day. The regular one-hour tours offered throughout the weekend cost $18 for adults, $16 for seniors 63 and older, $9 for children ages 3 to 17 and $4.50 for infants.

Dufer said staff on the boats talk occasionally about areas along the river while the cruise boat, Hakuna Matata, ferries the passengers on the waterway.

She said passengers can bring any kind of food they would like onto the boat, but outside drinks will not be allowed as a cash bar is available for cruise-goers who will enjoy live music and dancing.

In addition to cruises, patrons at Grafton Harbor can rent pontoon boats for a set number of hours which they can use to travel up the Illinois River and back.

Dufer said the boat rentals are a popular destination for tourists in the summer, noting the boat offerings have been cut back from last year.

“We’re only promoting our pontoon boats. We’ve had a little bit of mechanical problems with our runabout boats,” Dufer said, “but we have the pontoon rentals and they are going over really

well.”

The pontoon boats have a capacity of 10 people with a twohour rate of $148, four-hour rate of $208 and eight-hour rate of $348.

Dufer said those interested in either the boat rental or the cruises should call ahead to reserve a spot. Guaranteed reservations are available when using a VISA, Mastercard or Discover card to pay beforehand.

For more information about the offerings, visit graftonharbor.net.

To make a reservation call 618786-7678.

GRAFTON

Grafton is a picturesque small community nestled between the Illinois and Mississippi Rivers and the beautiful limestone bluffs that run the length of the National Scenic Byway (Rt. 100). Alan Solomon of the Chicago Tribune named the Great River Road, “one of the ten greatest drives in the nation.”

The city is both beautiful and exciting place to visit. Tourists from far and near come to our charming historic river town to enjoy our wineries, a wide variety of dining establishments, our shops and our river view eating drinking spots.

We encourage visitors to “Come for a Weekend and Stay for a Lifetime.” There’s fun for the whole family, Raging Rivers Water Park, Para sailing, Zip line, and cruises on the Hakuna Matata.

Grafton is not only an exciting place to visit, it is also a great place to live. The quality and variety of real estate development is attracting a host of prospective buyers. Giving beautiful lots to people who build a home in Grafton Hills has generated national attention.

Grafton is open. The Grafton ferry is open. The City of Grafton will have a spectacular fireworks display on July 5th, 2014 next to loading dock.

Journal NOTES

information on this and other Safety Education courses can be found on-line at; http://dnr.state.il.us/lands/education/safety/map.htm or by phoning 1-800-832-2599.

Area residents will have the opportunity to learn basic principles of safe hunting at a free Illinois Department of Natural Resources (IDNR) hunter safety course on July 18 and 19, 2014 at the American Legion, 300 Veterans Memorial Parkway, Jerseyville. This class is from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. on the 18th and from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. on the 19th. A 1996 state law requires that all hunters born on or after Jan. 1, 1980, successfully complete the hunter education course before they can receive their first hunting license. Participants completing the hunter education course receive a Hunter Education Certification card verifying that they have passed the course of instruction. This will be an excellent opportunity for hunters who need the course in order to qualify for their hunting license, Neil Waters, Volunteer Services Coordinator, said. The minimum 10-hour course includes instruction in firearms safety, hunter ethics, treestand safety, safe firearm handling, first aid, survival techniques, laws and regulations. Pre-registration is required and can be done by calling 618-462-1181 extension 128. Additional

Stephen J. Tonsor III, of Chelsea, formerly of Ann Arbor, Mich., age 90, died Wednesday, Jan. 8, 2014 at the Chelsea Retirement Community, Towsley Village.

He was born on Nov. 26, 1923, in English Township, the son of Stephen J. Tonsor II, and Rose Mary (Schmidt).

He was a professor of history at the University of Michigan for 30 years, retiring in 1984, and a veteran of the United States Army.

He served in the Signal Corps in the Pacific in World War II, and was honorably discharged in January 1946 as a Staff Sergeant.

Stephen started his college education at Blackburn College in Carlinville, a Presbyterian work-study college. After his second year, he was drafted into the United States Army.

He completed his undergraduate degree on the GI Bill at the University of Illinois in Champaign-Urbana in 1948, and received his PhD in history from the University of Illinois in 1955. He studied abroad at the University of Zurich and as a Fulbright Scholar at the University of Munich, and received his position at the University of Michigan as a Professor of History, by letter, while in Germany. While a graduate student at the University of Illinois, he and his wife worked for three summers as fire look-outs on Ruffneck Peak in the Sawtooth Mountains.

He loved traveling and spending time outdoors, especially hiking and mountain-climbing, and he was passionate about gardening. A member of St. Joseph Catholic Church in Detroit, he enjoyed attending their German-language mass.

In addition to his work as a scholar, he was well known in the broader community outside the University.

In scores of articles and reviews, he addressed both academic and nonacademic audiences. The numerous themes he treated--youth and education, the meaning of equality, religion, historiography, culture, and others--resonated widely and brought Professor Tonsor broad recognition. The Distinguished Teacher Award he received in 1962 attests to his devotion to teaching at all levels, from undergraduate introductory surveys to upper-level and graduate courses. Professor Tonsor guided many graduate students in their pursuit of graduate degrees in European intellectual and cultural history of the late eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. His generous hospitality was warmly remembered by many former students. In 1972-73, he was the senior visiting research fellow at the Hoover Institution, in 1969-72 he was consultant to the President’s Council of Economic Advisers, and for many years he had been closely associated with the American Enterprise Institute for Public Policy Research. Since 1970, he had been associate editor of Modern Age. From 1969-71, he was Secretary to the Relm and Earhart Foundations.

His distinguished service to the University of Michigan was recognized in 1996 when he was named professor emeritus of history.

On Sept. 6, 1949, he married Caroline Maddox, and she survives.

Also surviving are four children, Ann (Timothy) Zeddies of Grand Rapids, Stephen J. Tonsor IV (Susan Kalisz) of Pittsburgh, Claire (Kent) Pruss of Saline, and Margaret (Scott) Rayburn of Florida; 10 grandchildren and five great-grandchildren; three brothers: Edward (Maxine) Tonsor of Medora, Bernard (Bernadine) Tonsor of Jerseyville, and Gerald (Pauline) Tonsor of Peoria; two sisters, Mary Jean (Jerry) Jarvis of Jacksonville and Kathryn Warden of Pittsfield; a sister-in-law, Betty Tonsor of North Carolina; and many nieces and nephews.

He was preceded in death by his parents and a brother, Patrick.

A Memorial Mass will be celebrated at 10 a.m. Thursday, June 26 at St. Mary’s Catholic Church in Fieldon, with Father William Hembrow serving a celebrant.

Interment of his ashes will immediately follow at St. Mary’s Cemetery in Fieldon.

Memorials may be given to the United Methodist Retirement Communities Heritage Foundation or to the Stephen J. Tonsor Best Oral Presentation of Thesis Award at the Department of History, University of Michigan.

Crawford Funeral Home in Jerseyville is in charge of the arrangements.

You are in our hearts forever Bud! We’ll never forget for a minute and someday we will see you again.

Love, Grandma June, Greg & Linda & family, Randy & Marla & family, Craig & Beth & family.

A Place Where Children Are What kind of place would heaven be with all its streets of gold, if all the souls, that dwell up there like yours and mine were old?

How strange would heaven’s music sound when harps begin to ring, if children were not gathered round to help the angels sing.

The children that God sends to us are only just a loan, He knows we need their sunshine to make the house a home.

We need the inspiration of a baby’s blessed smile, He doesn’t say they’ve come to stay, just lends them for awhile.

Sometimes it takes them years to do the work for which they come.

Sometimes in just a month or two our Father calls them home.

I like to think some souls up there bear not one sinful scar.

I love to think of heaven as a place where children are.

Jerseyville Parks and Recreation Department (JPRD) has two great opportunities for residents and visitors to enjoy some performance art this summer on day trips.

Concert in the Garden trip is on Wednesday, July 16.

Travel to the Missouri Botanical Garden to hear internationally renowned Nigel Mooney. His smooth jazz tunes are sure to get your fingers snapping and feet tapping!

Before the concert, the group will stop for an early dinner at Zia’s on the Hill. After arriving and finding a spot for the concert, the group can embark on a self-guided garden tour before the concert starts at 7:30 p.m. Guests need to bring a blanket or folding chair. Outside food and coolers can be brought into the garden. There will also be food and beverages available for purchase. The cost is $45 per person and includes dinner, concert, tour, gratuities and transportation. The bus will leave the Susnig Center parking lot, located at 401 Mound Street, Jerseyville, at 2:30 p.m. and will return at approximately 11 p.m. Guests are asked to arrive at the Susnig Center, no later than 2:15 p.m. for an on-time departure. Preregistration is required and the deadline is Monday,

A new tool on Illinois’ help wanted job board targets workers who previously did not need a resume to get hired and those who lack confidence with their computer and Internet skills, the Illinois Department of Employment Security said.

The Resume Builder on Illinoisjoblink.com features an intuitive self-service approach. Step-bystep, Resume Builder creates a resume designed to pass through computer filters employers use to sort job applicants. Resume Builder also takes the user’s information and, using that same word-search technology employers use, identifies job openings that match the worker’s skills.

“Resume Builder is a field guide for workers who did not rely upon a resume to get hired,” IDES Director Jay Rowell said. “This tool walks workers through the resume building process. It does so in a way that respects their decades of work success and finishes with a product that will be noticed by hiring managers who grew up with Internet technology.”

“Building a resume can present a communication issue, not a skills issue,” Rowell said.

Grace Center here for the elderly

By Carmen ensinger Jersey County Journal As more and more government programs get cut or receive less funding, the one group which seems to be affected the most is the elderly. It is with this in mind that Grace Center in Roodhouse was founded five years ago.

Grace Center is operated under Saving Grace Ministries, a non-profit organization, and is located on Palm Street in what used to be the old Methodist Church.

“If you have a couple of kids, the government will give you free housing, free food, free medical and a free cell phone,” Grace Ministries founder Ken Wise said. “But our government tends to forget our elderly. There are elderly people out there trying to survive on $500 a month and that just isn’t going to cut it. I had an elderly woman come up to me and say she only received $500 a month in Social Security and could only get $41 in food stamps.

That’s just not right and I believe we have a responsibility to take care of our seniors.”

Wise said that for many it is a choice between buying food this month or their medicine.

“They don’t have money for both and that is where we come in,” Wise said. “We feed 85 families a month through Grace Center, and I would say 75 percent of those people are elderly because we put our elderly first.”

A food distribution truck comes

once a month with a month’s supply of food. This food, is, in turn, distributed to those in need.

“We are here first and foremost to help our seniors,” Wise said, “We distribute our food first to the seniors, second to the married couples with children who work and third to single

“We are here first and foremost to help our seniors."

Ken Wise Grace Ministries founder parents who work.”

If you don’t work – don’t bother coming to Grace Center looking for help.

“We tend to penalize our people who do work because they can’t receive any help, even though they might not

even make enough to feed their family working two or three jobs,” Wise said.

“However, if they don’t work, they receive all kinds of help. The system is just all backwards and it is not taking care of the ones it should be.”

Grace Center also offers a free meal and concert the first Saturday of every month. It is able to offer these free meals and the meals throughout the year through the fundraising efforts which go on all year long.

“Our Gospel group, Saved by Grace, singing at various churches or events and the money we raise we put right back into the center,” Wise said.

“The other night we played a concert and were paid with 50 pounds of bass, so we will be having a fish fry one of these days.”

This Saturday, however, Grace Center will be serving a pancake and sausage supper prior to its program and everyone is invited to attend. Free will donations are accepted and go right back into the center.

Mike Weaver/Jersey County Journal

Eric Beyer of the Brighton Southwest summer baseball team slides safely into home plate just ahead of a throw against Jerseyville American Legion Post 492 Thursday at Schneider Park. Brighton snapped a two-game losing streak and dealt Jerseyville its first loss of the summer by winning a 4-1 decision. Brighton improved to 6-3 this summer and 3-0 within Southwest Baseball League play after a 7-3 win against Red Bud Monday at Schneider Park. Jerseyville Post 492 is 4-2 this summer after splitting a doubleheader Saturday in Belleville. Post 492 lost to Belleville 5-0, but bounced back to win a 4-1 decision against Desoto (Mo.) behind a complete-game effort from pitcher Drake Kanallakan.

Post 492 continues its summer schedule at 7 p.m. Thursday on the road against Fairview Heights and Jerseyville will host a three-team cluster with Quincy and St. Charles (Mo.) beginning at 11 a.m. Saturday at the Don Snyders Sports Complex. Brighton's season continues with a doubleheader against Illini Select beginning at 11 a.m. Sunday in Brighton. michaelrweaver.com

Looking for an easy and inexpensive way to refresh your home this summer? With a little inspiration and work you can give your home a quick makeover within a limited budget.

“From interior décor projects to a fresh coat of paint, there are plenty of ways to make a big impact in a room for under $100,” says Carmen De La Paz, 3M spokesperson and former host of HGTV’s “Hammer Heads.”

With that in mind, De La Paz, an interior designer and DIY expert, has some tips to help inspire project ideas: • Refurbishing a home can be expensive and tiring. Don’t replace perfectly good furniture when there is no need. Instead, consider refreshing a tired chair, table or coat rack with a coat of paint.

• Make a big impact by painting an accent wall in your home. Consider using complementary color to the palette of the space. Whether you want to enhance the size of a room, draw attention to a new furniture piece or just add a little flair, an accent wall is a simple way to make it happen.

• Paint a fresh design element like a pattern or a stripe to change the look of a room. You don’t need to turn to a professional service for sharp, crisp paint lines. With a high quality painter’s tape, such as the new ScotchBlue Painter`s Tape with Advanced Edge-Lock Paint Line Protector, you can get super sharp paint lines. This tape provides edgeto-edge protection for improved paint bleed performance.

• Spice up your room with a DIY wall art project, such as this one from the Nesting Place blog.

First, tape off rectangles with highquality painter’s tape. The shapes can be varying sizes and shapes to create an interesting wall effect. Apply your creativity to have the shapes fill your wall space.

Remember, there are no rules, so at this point, get experimental and tape a design that looks appealing to you.

After taping, choose a single paint color and trace the painter’s tape. For a bolder effect, pick two complementary colors and alternate tracing the rectangle shapes. Alternating colors will achieve a brighter, bolder look. Take into consideration what the room will be used for as that can help set the tone for the pattern and colors.

Also be sure to let the paint dry enough so that it’s dry to touch before carefully removing it.

Feeling inspired? Channel that creativity this summer by submitting your own home refresh project for under $100 and you could win $5,000 to put towards a home makeover. Visit www.

ScotchBlue.com/homecontest to enter the “Home of ScotchBlue Painter’s Tape” contest by July 15, 2014 or learn more, and see official rules.

You don’t need an enormous budget or a professional. With a bit of inspiration and the right tools, you can refresh any humdrum space in an afternoon.

The Illinois State Police (ISP), District 18, will conduct Roadside Safety Checks (RSC) during the month of July.

The ISP has zero tolerance for impaired driving in Illinois. Officers working this detail will be watchful for drivers who are operating vehicles in an unsafe manner, driving with a suspended or revoked driver’s license, transporting open alcoholic beverages, or Driving Under the Influence (DUI).

Alcohol and drug impairment is a significant factor in nearly 40 percent of all fatal motor vehicle crashes in Illinois. RSCs are designed to keep our roads safe by taking dangerous DUI offenders off the road. This project is funded through the Illinois Department of Transportation, Division of Traffic Safety.

ISP conducting Occupant Restraint Enforcement Patrols Illinois State Police (ISP) District 18 Commander, Captain Kollins has announced that District 18 Troopers will conduct Occupant Restraint Enforcement Patrols (OREP) during the month of June.

OREP allows the ISP to target an area with saturation patrols that focus on traffic violations and related compliance with safety belt and child safety seat laws.

Safety belt enforcement zones will also be set up to ensure the driver and passengers are buckled up. Illinois law requires all vehicle passengers (front and back) to be buckled up!

Safety belts are one of the most effective safety devices in vehicles today, estimated to save over 12,000 lives each year. Over half of vehicle occupants killed in a traffic crash were not properly buckled up. The objective of this program is to increase compliance of occupant restraint laws through education, child seat inspections, and enforcement.

Greater awareness, acceptance, and use of occupant protection equipment will save many lives.

This project is funded through the Illinois Department of Transportation, Division of Traffic Safety.
