Art program ends, legacy lives one more day By Robert Lyons Jersey County Journal The art work of nine Jersey Community High School students will remain on display for one day beyond the official end of the high school program. Jacoby Arts Center in Alton is hosting the Regional High School Art Exhibit through Thursday, which includes the work of artists in JCHS’s program. The Jersey students’ work featured at the gallery comes in a variety of mediums. One piece, created by recent graduate Ciara Cook, is made from an animal skull. “I started collecting animal bones a few years ago, and I have a ton of them laying around now,” Cook said. “I just wanted to do something more with them than have them in a bucket. So, I just paint them with pretty designs and hang them up.” Other Jersey students featured in the exhibit include: Lily Cronin, Shelby Clayton, Alyssa

said. Cook said she was proud of herself and fellow high school classmates when she visited the gallery and saw the works on display. “I loved it, it made me really happy,” she said. “There are really talented kids all over, and it just blows my mind that some high school students can pull off what they pulled off.” Stafford said the Jersey students with work being showcased at Jacoby didn’t have art classes in the school setting until they reached high school, which makes the JCHS students’ display even more impressive when compared with other represented high schools.

Wadlow, Hallie Nilsson, Brooke Parks, Kayla Smith and Katie Smith. The idea for a show featuring the work of local high schoolers at Jacoby had been kicked around for a few years, according to JCHS art teacher Kelly Stafford, and she is happy to see it finally happen. She said the gallery has been a hit since its May 6 opening. She said a benefit show for Jacoby at the beginning of last month drew major attention to the students’ work. “Everybody that I’ve talked to that has gone down to the show has said they can’t believe that high schoolers are doing that work,” Stafford said. “They were just shocked, and were like ‘Can I buy this?’” Stafford said she tries to get her students involved in competitions outside of school, to give them a new experience and make connections. For the gallery at Jacoby, she selected projects produced by eight seniors and one junior. “It was definitely based on talent and ability, what we chose to send down there,” Stafford

“I think they’re holding their own against towns like Edwardsville, that have (art classes) from the get-go,” Stafford said. But, the art program at JCHS recently fell victim to budget cuts, along with several other programs, meaning the opportunities to showcase the talents of Jersey’s visual artists will be few and far between. “Some kids don’t succeed in sports or theater, and all they have is art,” Cook said. “And it is being taken away from them while the sports teams still get to play.” Stafford said she plans to become more heavily involved with the Jacoby Arts Center, to ensure students will have an avenue to continue their involvement in art. “I’m just trying to keep the doors open for them, so they have somewhere to go,” she said. Stafford said the state’s financial mess is making it more difficult for schools across Illinois to maintain art programs. Since she has a background in graphic design, teaching is not her only option. But, students are losing a great

By Robert Lyons Jersey County Journal Six churches have joined forces to ensure area children do not go hungry this summer. Beginning Monday, June 9, lunch will be served five days a week to children up to 18 years old at First Baptist Church in Jerseyville. Pastor of First Baptist Church, the Rev. Brent Meyer, said many children rely on the meals they receive at school during the week, so the summer presents a situation where children could potentially go without. Around 65 percent of students in Jersey’s elementary and middle school take part in the free or reduced lunch program, according to information from Jersey Community Unit School District No. 100. “So, you know, based on that, the need is there,” Meyer said. “The concern that the Jerseyville Ministerial Alliance had was ‘What do kids do during the summer when the school cafeterias are closed?’” The Ministerial Alliance consists of First Presbyterian, First Baptist, First Church of Christ Scientist, First United Method-

Hamilton Primary School Festival raises funds for roof project By Bob Crossen Jersey County Journal The Otter Creek Historical Society is hosting its annual festival to raise funds for the nation’s first integrated school in Otterville June 7 and 8. Festivities will begin at 11 a.m. Saturday and run until

“We have a roof project that is really overdue. They said it needed painting in 10, so we’re three years over our quota for getting the roof painted.”

Bob Rothe Otter Creek Historical Society president 7 p.m. that day, with Sunday hours from 12 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. Entrance to the festival is free and open to the public. Attendees can enjoy food and games while listening to live music and browsing the wares of vendors on the school grounds, located at 107 East Main St. in Otterville. Bob Rothe, Otter Creek Historical Society board president,

said the proceeds from the event will be used to benefit the historic primary school, which was named one of the 10 most endangered historic places in Illinois in April. “We have a roof project that is really overdue,” Rothe said, noting a new roof was installed 13 years ago. “They said it needed painting in 10, so we’re three years over our quota for getting the roof painted.” Painting of the roof is estimated at $8,000 due to the building’s distinction as a National Historic Landmark. Because the building is on the National Registry of Historic Places, painting the roof must be done every 10 years to the registry’s specifications. Rothe said the Otter Creek Historical Society has enough to cover only a small portion of the cost to repaint the roof, but hopes money raised from the weekend’s festival will contribute greatly to the pool of money needed for the roof painting. The festival will host a bakeoff auction at 1 p.m. Saturday, followed by live music and watermelon eating and watermelon seed spitting contests. The watermelon contests will also take place Sunday afternoon. Sunday will also feature a tribute to Dr. Silas Hamilton – who endowed $4,000 to build (See, festival, A2)

ist, Hope Lutheran and Peace United Church of Christ. The Illinois Coalition for Community Services (ICCS), Illinois State Board of Education and USDA are also instrumental in offering the meals. Meyer said the pastor of Hope Lutheran Church used his connections to have Mark Whalen of the ICCS speak with leaders in the Ministerial Alliance back in February. After a few meetings, the details began to work themselves out and First Baptist was chosen as the host location for the program. Meyer said he hopes the church’s centralized location, 200 W. Pearl St., across from the Jersey County courthouse, will be easily accessible for children in need. The USDA is funding the program, with Illinois State Board of Education administering funds to ICCS. ICCS is providing everything necessary to run the program, except the manpower.

Mobile home ownership affects taxes By Bob Crossen Campbell Publications As ownership for mobile homes changes in Illinois, so too may the tax process of those properties. At the beginning of 2011, a law enacted by the state legislature was put into place that required certain mobile homes to adhere to real estate assessment rather than a privilege tax. Prior to the change, mobile homes that were not on a permanent foundation were not assessed as real property, but rather were taxed using a privilege tax, which is typically much lower than general residential tax rates. Those on foundations were treated as real property. Not all mobile homes were affected by the 2011 change, however, as those in mobile home parks still fall under the privilege tax. Those that have not had changes in title ownership after the effective date of the bill also still fall under the privilege tax. Homes that have been sold and pur-

chased by another person after the date of the bill are assessed as real estate – assuming there is a change in ownership – bringing the tax values of the properties up tremendously. Crystal Perry, Jersey County supervisor of assessments, said there are 625 mobile homes in Jersey County that are still taxed with privilege tax. “Of those 625, 49 of those were in mobile home parks,” Perry said, adding the others outside mobile home parks have not had title transfers requiring the switch to real estate tax. She said just two homes have been transferred to real estate assessment since the change went into effect. Using one home as an example in the cost changes, Perry said one of the mobile home properties in Jersey County was taxed at $244 on the privilege tax, but when it was switched to real estate, that tax bill grew to nearly $2,270. According to Illinois Compiled Statutes in regards to mobile home local services

tax, the privilege tax is calculated based on the mobile home’s model year. The tax is then applied at a cost per square foot of space based on the outside dimensions of the home, excluding the length of the tongue and hitch. When the properties are switched over from the privilege tax to the property tax, the timing of their assessment is also changed. Property taxes are assessed one year behind the current year while privilege tax is assessed for the current year, meaning a mobile home on private land could pay the privilege tax on a different year than the property tax for the land on which it sits. Lorrie Koch, Scott County supervisor of assessments, said the year difference creates an interesting scenario when the property is transferred to real estate rolls. “Sometimes there’s a gap between getting them switched,” Koch said. “Let’s say somebody’s already paid their mobile home tax for 2014 because that’s the current year for mobile home tax. And then if it sells in

July, I can’t assess them for 2014. I have to wait until 2015 with taxes payable in 2016.” Like Calhoun County where all mobile homes are assessed as real estate, Koch said she assessed homes as such in Scott County for many years. One year, however, she said a resident challenged the assessment because the mobile home was not on a permanent foundation, but rather on its wheels. At the time, mobile homes without a foundation fell under the privilege tax assessment by law, and Koch said the appeal was ruled against her, meaning the county had to reassess such mobile homes based on the privilege tax. With the 2011 change to the law, she said many of the homes are being switched back to real estate taxes when the law calls for the transfer. Since 2011, privilege tax parcels in Pike County have decreased by 118 to 729 mobile homes. Of those 118 mobile homes, 115 of them were placed on the real estate rolls with the remaining three removed from the rolls entirely.

“There were many mobile homes that had delinquent taxes due on them, that had never been paid, and in most cases were not caught at the transfers or closings,” Pike County Supervisor of Assessments Cindy Shaw said in an email May 30. “Many of those privilege taxes are still sitting on the collector’s books as due.” The difference in taxes for the mobiles homes was not as great as those in Jersey County, however. Shaw said a mobile home under the privilege tax that was charged $74 had a $333 property tax bill when it was assessed as real estate without any homestead exemptions. A mobile home with a similar privilege tax with the exemptions had a property tax bill of $174 when it was transferred to the real estate rolls. Greene County had a lower amount of income from privilege taxes compared to surrounding counties with them. With a total of 484 privilege tax parcels, the county brings in a little more than $41,000 in privilege tax.

Art

(Continued from A1) avenue to be successful when art in the classroom disappears, she said. “I don’t think people realize how much it is around them,” she said. “It’s everywhere. It’s how you get your information. In this day and age, where everything is digital and people don’t like to read that much, everything is at-a-glance visual. That’s what’s pulling people in, the visual concept.” She said there are myriad opportunities for careers in art. “They visually communicate to the masses, and now it’s going to be gone,” Stafford said. “It’s very disappointing to the students. The only words of encouragement I can give them is ‘Keep doing it on your own.’”

Cook is one of a few of the students who recently graduated planning to continue with art in college, and beyond. She said she may pursue art therapy courses at Southern Illinois University Edwardsville, where she is enrolled for the fall. “I don’t know where I’m going to go with it, but I know I’m going to have art in the my life for the rest of my life,” Cook said. Others who have work featured at Jacoby, Stafford said, are just very talented enthusiasts. “Lily Cronin is a standout that I have, that everything she touches – it doesn’t matter what medium it is – it’s amazing,” Stafford said. “People are just shocked that she doesn’t want to go into it for a career.” There is $1,200 in cash prizes that

are to be awarded to students participating in the show at Jacoby, though Stafford is unsure how the winners will be selected. JCHS is one of nine area high schools featured at the gallery. Other schools include: Alton, Civic Memorial, East Alton-Wood River, Edwardsville, Marquette Catholic, Metro-East Lutheran, Roxana and Southwestern. The closing ceremony, which will include an awards presentation and reception, for the Regional High School Art Exhibit will be Thursday, June 5 from 6 p.m. until 8 p.m. Jacoby Arts Center is located at 627 E. Broadway in Alton. The last day of school is Wednesday, June 4.

Program

(Continued from A1) Alliance will be providing two to three volunteers to help serve the food or clean up. “The real mystery here is we have no idea how many kids are going to come,” Meyer said, adding flyers were sent home with children before school ended Wednesday. This isn’t the first time First Baptist and JCUSD have teamed together to feed students. Alan Churchman, who works as an administrator for JCUSD and is a member at First Baptist, helped implement the church’s backpack program. About a year ago, the church began sending students home on Fridays with food to be eaten over the weekend. Meyer said upward of a dozen children participated in that program. “It was really dependent on people in the school corporation to give us names and connect us to folks,” Meyer said. When the summer came, volunteers from First Baptist continued to deliver food to the school district office to be distributed to students, but it largely went unused.

Meyer is hoping the new method to feed children during the summer months will be better utilized. Churchman said it is a relief to know all of the district’s children will have an opportunity to eat. “Anytime a kid’s not going to be hungry, it makes you feel better,” Churchman said. “Hopefully, it is something that will catch on and they can continue to provide this service.” The program is not just for students who would not otherwise have an option for food. “Even though our target group is kids who are on free or reduced lunch, anybody can come who wants to come,” Meyer said. “They don’t have to bring documentation. If they come to the door, they’ll get fed.” Meals will be served from 11 a.m. until 1 p.m. Monday through Friday until Aug. 1. “We felt this was a great way for the Ministerial Alliance churches to partner together to do something significant in terms of local missions, and to do what Christ calls us to do, and that is feed the hungry,” Meyer said.

Festival

(Continued from A1) the primary school – as well as his slave by the name of George Washington to whom he acted as a father and freed from slavery many years prior to the Emancipation Proclamation. Prior to the day's events Sunday will be an outdoor church service. Raffle drawings will be held Sunday afternoon for 53 prizes, 50/50 and baskets. Tours of the school will also be available. Hamilton Primary School was originally built in 1836 before it was torn down due to failing structural integrity. The building that stands at the location 200 feet west of the intersection of Otterville and McClusky roads was built in 1873 using the original building’s limestone foun-

dation. Though it still stands today, it was closed to students in 1971, nearly 100 years after the newer structure was built. Although Silas Hamilton had 28 slaves, he freed all of them in Cincinnati, but the relationship between Hamilton and Washington was closer than the bonds with his other slaves. Washington was like a son to Hamilton. Construction of the building was completed after Hamilton’s death, and Washington received an education from the Otterville school. Hamilton and Washington are buried side-by-side in a crypt across from the Otterville Baptist Church, the only known location where master and slave were buried next to each

other. Rothe said the history of the school could fill a book. The school is important to the history of integration in the nation, he added, because it pioneered such a notion. He said the festival will be a good way to remember the importance of the building and find entertainment. “Just come out and enjoy yourself. Enjoy the weekend and hopefully the weather will cooperate and we can all have a good time,” Rothe said. Those unable to attend but interested in aiding the school’s financial troubles may do so by making check’s payable to Otter Creek Historical Society and mailing them to 107 East Main Street, Otterville, IL 62052.

“I love that we get to deal with farmers day in and day out. … Everyone is just really kind and hard-working.”

Mary Kay Huebener MTS secretary construction, mowing and landscaping. Mary Kate Huebener, MTS secretary, said the distinction of Business of the Month affirms the business has been helpful to the community since it opened nearly two years ago. “I think we were a little shocked, but it’s good. We’re happy,” Huebener said. “It was nice to get recognition.” The Jerseyville MTS location is one of six tractor

sales businesses in the company. She said the grandparents of one of the three owners of the chain owned a dealership company in Dow. After noticing a need for another farm equipment retailer in Jerseyville, the store was opened two years ago. Huebener said it was like a return home for one of the owners of the business, and since that time the company has done its best to serve the farming community in the county. Having grown up in a household close to the farming industry, Huebener said she is among other like-minded people working at MTS. Their dedication to the job and hospitality is something to admire, she added. “Everyone that works here grew up on a farm for the most part or has been involved in the agricultural industry,” Huebener said. “I love that we get to deal with farmers day in and day out. … Everyone is just really kind and hard-working.” She said the customers of MTS know the business will be available when they need them. If a farmer has a breakdown after work hours, she said the company is there to get the equipment up and running as fast as possible. The hard-working culture of farming extends to MTS, she said. MTS is open from 7:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday and on Saturday from 7:30 a.m. to 12 p.m. To contact the business call 618-639-2583, email jerseyville@mts.ag or visit midwesttractorsales.com.

Roberts Law gives local businessmen a planning partner

By Robert Lyons Jersey County Journal Local entrepreneurs have a new ally as veteran businessman and attorney Jeff Roberts has established a practice in Jerseyville. Offering guidance in capital structure, organizational structure and legal issues, Roberts Law may be the only firm a businessman needs. Roberts said his practice is geared toward planning, for both business and estate. However, having been a businessman himself for 20 years, he said his expertise is helping entrepreneurs navigate the nuances of structuring a successful enterprise. “I practiced law during those 20 years, but only for the companies that I owned and worked for,” he said. “So, I think I bring a pretty unique perspective to business planning and solving entrepreneurs’ problems. Their needs really have a broad range.” Roberts worked for Argosy Gaming Company as in-house legal counsel, serving as a contact with government regulators, including the gaming commissions from five states, in addition to several other functions. After leaving Argosy in 1997, Roberts went on to establish four casino development companies, a web-based advertising company and an investment firm. “There are a number of things out there still operating that I have to tend to, but not fulltime,” Roberts said. That leaves him free to focus on the needs of his clients. He has a history in working for not-for-profit entities and doing legal tax work, but his focus has almost always been on business and estate

planning. In addition to practicing law for the past 27 years – receiving his law degree from the University of Illinois in 1985 – Roberts’ background includes experience as a certified public accountant (CPA). He said a few examples of the types of service he offers includes helping businessmen determine the amount of equity that needs to be put in a business, as well as assistance guiding business deals. “They need good deal lawyers, lawyers who have been there and understand how to limit risk and multiply the upside opportunity,” Roberts said. “As we grow as businessmen, we have a need for planning transitions, planning to pass our business on to family members or employees. Sometimes it’s a matter of putting the business up for sale.” Strong accounting and internal controls are critical to managing a successful endeavor, according to Roberts. “That’s what I bring to the table, the whole spectrum,” he said. “It’s a broad range of services.” Though he only recently opened his office in Jerseyville, at the former Laclede Community Credit Union building, Roberts is not new to Jersey County. He has lived in the county for more than two decades. In 1992, he moved into the county and built the Lake of Dreams in Mississippi Township, which has played host to several Can-Am Ski Challenge events. He has since built another ski lake, and is the developer on Eagle Crossings subdivision in Dow. He lives in Dow, raising his four children – Nellie, Will, Edward and Michael – alongside his wife, Sandra. The family attends Holy

Jeff Roberts Ghost Church in Jerseyville. Roberts received his high school diploma from Marquette Catholic High School and a degree in accounting from Illinois College, where he also played as a defensive back for the college’s football team. Roberts Law is planning an open house for June 17, from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m., at 300 Commerce Blvd., in Jerseyville. For more information, contact Roberts Law at 618-6390461, or visit his website at robertslegalplanning.com

rea churches banding together to feed the hungry is a fantastic showing of what this community can be all about.

Volunteers will be serving lunches Monday through Friday at First Baptist Church in Jerseyville to children under the age of 18. That means no child has to suffer through the summer months without at least one hot meal five days out the week. As the Rev. Brent Meyer, pastor at First Baptist Church, pointed out, many children and their parents rely on the food the school serves to ease the financial burden of putting the food on the table. When the schools aren’t there, some families have few options for providing nourishment. The Jerseyville Ministerial Alliance – consisting of First Presbyterian, First Baptist, First Church of Christ Scientist, First United Methodist, Hope Lutheran and Peace United Church of Christ – has stepped up to fill that void. Of course, it’s a bit bittersweet. The cause being taken up by the Ministerial Alliance is superb. But, the fact the need exists – upward of 65 percent of elementary students in Jersey schools receive free or reduced price lunches – is difficult to swallow. It’s not always easy to recognize those who are less fortunate, but it is clear there are many who are in need. But, the churches’ lunch program is not limited to just the less fortunate. Meyer said any child is welcome to eat at the church between 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. on weekdays beginning Monday through Aug. 1. The six churches in the Ministerial Alliance do not all practice religion the same way, nor do they all share the exact same belief system. But, they do share a commonality in their care and support of the community. Now, if only their showing of unity for the common good could inspire all of the other county entities, we would be in good shape.

The on-going spider saga B

y now some of you won’t be surprised at this story as you are familiar with my spider phobia. This morning when I turned on the bathroom sink water to brush my teeth a huge spider (no exaggeration - the size of a half dollar) jumped out of the drain and started trying to scramble up the side of the sink. Cue horror film music. I honestly was so terrified I couldn’t make a noise. I reached from as far away as I could and turned the hot water on as well as the cold that was already on. The spider curled into a ball. I was still too terrified to move. I couldn’t reach the cold water to turn it off without getting close to the sink, so the water was only warm...not hot enough to

fry the sucker. Wise decision. Suddenly after quite some time of being in a ball, the spider unfurled its legs and again began to try to frantically scramble up the side of the sink. In a panic, I reached for a squirt bottle of Windex that I had on the shelf above the toilet, never turning my back on the man-eating spider. I started bombarding him with Windex. He curled up again, only this time it was spasmodic and I knew he was in trouble. Then I got enough courage to turn off the cold water. He then got a steam bath for a good five minutes with pure hot water. He was so big he would not go down the drain...I left him for husband to deal with and shut the bathroom door.

I have had Guest shivers off and on all day Column thinking of this creature by rebecca myers from hell. I just realized I forgot to tell husband about it. If I tell him tonight and he didn’t find the spider in the sink when he got home from his shift, I will not be able to sleep in our room for fear that he resurrected and is roaming our bedroom... ––––––––––––––––––––––––––– n Rebecca Myers is a resident of Jerseyville and enjoys spending time with family, gardening, painting, photography and writing.

Your Views Says ‘When injustice becomes law, resistance becomes duty’ TO THE EDITOR: I was off to work on a beautiful spring day a week or so ago, and one of my first calls was to a rural residence whose work order was to install an expansion tank on their water heater. When I arrived I was met by a middleaged couple of good character, but they were somewhat apprehensive of the job I was there to do. After asking some questions, I discovered that the water company had been out a few days earlier and installed a “back flow preventer” (check valve) on their incoming water line. They were admonished by the crew of the water company, that since they had installed this “back flow preventer” that they had better have an expansion tank on their water heater, or it could “blow up” causing horrific consequences to property and possibly loss of life, besides they said, “It’s the law.” Fearing for their property and safety, they immediately called my employer, a local small business, to come out and alleviate this “dangerous situation.” But like most Americans in this day, they were concerned about the financial cost impact to their continually shrinking budget. I took the time to explain to them that, yes, with a check valve installed in their incoming water line, through the normal course of heating water, they could experience a slight increase of water pressure in their house. BUT, for the officials of the water company to tell people that “their water heater could blow up with out an expansion tank installed” is a blatant, bold faced lie, and in my opinion, an inexcusable scare tactic. For any water heater to enter into this dangerous state, two other critical safeties would have to fail simultaneously, and they are the water heater thermostat and the temperature and pressure relief valve. Every water heater ever made has these items installed right out of the box. Furthermore, if these two critical items fail, you will experience a catastrophic situation whether you have an expansion tank installed or not. The only advantage that an expansion tank would give you, would be a little more time before the eventual catastrophe, provided it is working correctly. And to that I would add, I have seen a lot more expansion tanks fail than I ever saw a thermostat or a temperature and pressure relief fail on a water heater. While this may seem like a trivial matter to some, this is just one more example of the lies and half truths we are subjected to every day by the ruling class and the Obama administration. America! How long do you have to have your nose rubbed in it before you realize what it’s being rubbed in? These are the same people that tell you that your lifestyle is the root cause of climate change, and that we need a “carbon tax” to change your habits. These are the same people that tell you we need health care for everyone, then destroy your own healthcare plan that you have worked hard to provide for yourselves and your family. These are the same people that institute “International Building and Energy Codes” because, you, as an industrious individual, don’t know what you are doing and must be told how to spend your building dollars. These are the same people that tell you that you have no right to vote on a law that would help limit your property taxes, because “it would harm the children.” America! Speak up and do something about it! Just because they make you feel like an insignificant ant, does not mean that we ants do not have the power to move mountains! When injustice becomes law, resistance becomes duty! If we don’t stand up and act like free men and free women that our God and our Forefathers intended us to be, we shall surely live the “New World Order” life that the tyrants are working hard to enslave us into! A very good book I read, stated, “Know ye the truth, for the truth will set you free.” To that good advice I might add “Research what you hear as fact, for deception abounds.” I understand that working people, the ones lucky enough to have a job, are worked to death and have little time or energy to vet the propaganda put out by mainstream media. I also understand how other people get depressed and apathetic, and feel as though their

plight is out of their hands and there is nothing they can do about it. In reality, nothing could be further from the truth! If you would spend half the time you spend emailing, facebooking, and tweeting, searching out the real news and getting the whole story on world and national events, you would see how our leaders are betraying us! And if you took half the time you spend getting the real news, and used that time to call your congressman, write a letter, or otherwise speak up for yourselves, against those who would take away your rights as a citizen, then, and only then, will the ants have an impact and move that mountain!

Urges Obama to sign bipartisan waterways bill TO THE EDITOR: Our federal delegation in Washington D.C. is to be commended for their “grow vs no” mentality by reaching bipartisan agreement to pass the Water Resources Reform and Development Act. Specifically, the leadership demonstrated by Representative Rodney Davis with great support from Congressman Schock and other members of the House, along with Senator Durbin and Senator Kirk, is to be acknowledged and thanked. A pro-growth agenda is always refreshing to see in Washington, D.C. Too often partisanship takes over and saying “no” becomes far easier than finding solutions to create jobs that spur economic growth. The WRRD Act was accomplished by putting politics aside and working collaboratively with a diverse group of Republicans, Democrats, business, industry and labor to all find common ground. The Act will allow for unique solutions to ensure our Illinois waterways continue to serve their vital roles benefiting the state’s important industries of agriculture and trade. President Obama, please sign this bill to help Illinois and the rest of our region keep working. BLAKE E. RODERICK Director, National Waterways Conference Pittsfield, Ill.

Jerseyville, Illinois

State Fire Marshal highlights safety awareness, preparation during National Safety Month The Office of the State Fire Marshal (OSFM), in conjunction with the National Safety Council (NSC) is highlighting fire safety education as part of the annual observance of National Safety Month. This year’s campaign theme is “Safety: It Takes All of Us” and is aimed at encouraging the public to practice safe behavior to prevent personal injuries and deaths. During the month of June, the NSC and OSFM are asking the public to focus on six key areas: fire safety (the number one priority for OSFM), prescription drug abuse, slips and falls, safety in public places, driving safety and summer safety. “First and foremost, I want to remind Illinois residents to have smoke alarms installed and ensure they are in the right places and functioning properly,” said State Fire Marshal Larry Matkaitis. “It takes all of us to keep our environment safe and to ensure, that in the event of a fire, all family members are prepared to make a safe escape.” Smoke alarms should be tested monthly to ensure they are in proper working order. The public should become familiar with fire safety procedures and know how to act in case of other life threatening emergencies in the work place, in schools, hospitals, day care centers, senior centers and other public facilities. In 2013, Illinois fire departments reported responding to near-

ly 2 million incidents. Approximately 50,000 of those incidents were fire related, 794,018 involved emergency medical services, and 352,910 were neither fire nor EMS related. The following is a list of basic tips to put into practice on a daily basis: Properly dispose of unused and expired medications and keep them away from children. Get trained in first aid, CPR and AED. Training is available on line, in a classroom or contact your local fire department to find locations in the community. Don’t text and drive and do not talk on a cell phone while driving. Obey state traffic laws including stop signs and speed limits, especially in school and work zones. Wear seat belts and keep small children properly secured in car seats. The following is a list of tips to prevent falls or personal injuries: n Secure electrical and phone cords out of walking areas. n Remove small throw rugs or use non-skid mats to keep from slipping. n Remove tripping hazards (paper, boxes, toys, clothes, shoes) from stairs and walkways. n Periodically check the condition of walkways and steps, and repair damages immediately. n Never stand on a chair, table or other surface on wheels. n Clean up all spills immediately.

OSFM recommends the following tips for fire prevention: n Install smoke alarms on each floor of your home and within 15 feet of sleeping quarters. Regularly check batteries and test your alarms. n Compile a home safety kit (emergency preparedness kit) for your family. Include things like flashlights with extra batteries, blankets, food, water and a batterypowered weather radio. Keep the kit in an easily-accessible place, so you can quickly grab it in case of an emergency. n Make a plan in case of an emergency (like a fire, tornado or earthquake). For fires, have an escape plan. In case of inclement weather, make sure everyone knows the safest place in your home to go to. Practice the plans often. n Keep a first aid kit stocked in your home at all times. You never know when an accident can happen. n Know emergency phone numbers, such as the Police, Fire Department and local Poison Control Center. n Keep matches, lighters and burning candles out of the reach of children. n Check on senior citizens who live alone to make sure they are also living in a safe environment. For more information about fire prevention and fire safety please visit OSFM’s webpage at www. sfm.illinois.gov

Couple plans ‘Wedding in the Woods’ By Carmen ensinger Jersey County Journal

the next year that Oct. 4 fell on a Saturday. Kraut said she loves October

Almost every young couple planning to tie the knot wants that special wedding that they will remember for the rest of their lives and this will surely be the case for Hayden Eilerman and Kayce Kraut. They have decided to have a “Wedding in the Woods” – literally. They will be married on Oct. 4 at the old 4-H camp at Jacksonville Lake followed by a bonfire. Instead of celebrating with champagne they will be celebrating with s’mores. After being together for six years, Eilerman proposed to Kraut in February. Nothing is typical about their wedding, not even the proposal, as Kraut explained. “My dad is always saying ‘10-4 good buddy’ and I thought that was a good date because it was easy to remember and people always joke about husbands forgetting their anniversary,” Kraut said. “And, I figure since I’m going to marry a redneck I guess our wedding date should be memorable.” So, Kraut knew the date she wanted to get married but there was also one other requirement – she wanted to get married on a Saturday. The problem was if she didn’t get married this year, she would have to wait until 2021 –

“I’ve always liked outdoor weddings but I didn’t care for the typical ones where there is one tree in the background. I wanted something different and then I was on Pinterest and I saw this wedding that was held in a really wooded area and I thought to myself, ‘That’s what I want – I want a wedding in the woods.’”

Kayce Kraut Bride-to-be because it is not too hot outside, but the men in her family love the month for another reason. “Unfortunately, October is also

Simplify and save on your wedding Planning a wedding is complicated. Once couples choose a date and location for their ceremony, they can then can get down to the nuts and bolts of the big day. When planning a wedding, many couples are governed by a budget. Budgets often get stretched, but even those brides- and grooms-to-be who spend more than they had initially hoped often find themselves not going too far over budget. One of the best ways for couples to stay within spitting distance of their budget or even come in under budget is to take steps to simplify the ceremony and reception. Simplifying a few aspects of the wedding can save couples money without forcing them to make sacrifices that affect the look or feel of occasion. n Turn floral arrangements into multi-purpose accessories. Bridesmaids typically carry beautiful floral bouquets during the wedding ceremony. But such bouquets are quickly put down and forgotten once a couple has officially tied the knot. Couples can save a few dollars by repurposing floral bouquets and other floral arrangements used during the ceremony. Once the ceremony has ended, repurpose floral bouquets as centerpieces for the reception tables and turn flowers used as aisle markers during the ceremony into small centerpieces on the escort card table or place them alongside the guestbook. This saves you the trouble of choosing various floral arrangements to display throughout the reception venue and also saves you money. n Scale back on the alcohol offerings. Some couples opt for a fullservice, top-shelf bar at their wedding. While that's a nice gesture, it's also an expensive one. Couples can save a substantial amount of money by simplifying the alcoholic offerings at their reception. Instead of a full top-shelf bar, offer guests one or two choices of popular liquors such as whiskey, rum and vodka and steer clear of especially expensive brands. The majority of guests likely won't even notice, but couples will notice how much money they save. n Choose a classic cake. Elaborate cakes may be de rigueur, but the cost of an especially elaborate wedding cake can make a cost-conscious couple's collective jaw drop. Instead of a specially designed, labor-intensive cake, choose a classic cake that won't break the bank. Classic cakes can add an elegant touch to a wedding without extending a couple's budget. n Trim the guest list. Trimming the guest list is arguably the most effective way to simplify a wedding while

simultaneously saving some money. Once you have compiled a list of potential invitees, peruse that list to determine if there are any people who can be trimmed from the list. This is easier for couples paying for their own wedding, as they won't feel pressured to invite any friends or colleagues of their parents whom they don't know personally. But even couples splitting the cost of their weddings with their parents should speak with their parents about trimming the guest list to make the affair a little less expensive. Traditional weddings are anything but simple. But there are ways for couples to make planning their wedding less complicated while saving some money at the same time.

the beginning of bow season so our anniversary is going to be at the start of bow season,” she said. “I really had to fight for that date because deer season is very important in both his family and mine. My dad even made sure my mom wouldn’t deliver a baby during deer season because he had no intention of missing it.” With the date set, next came setting a theme for the wedding. “I’ve always liked outdoor weddings but I didn’t care for the typical ones where there is one tree in the background,” Kraut said. “I wanted something different and then I was on Pinterest and I saw this wedding that was held in a really wooded area and I thought to myself, ‘That’s what I want – I want a wedding in the woods.’” But finding a venue to provide just the right atmosphere would be a little more difficult. “We looked at several different places but none of them had everything we wanted, which was a lot of trees along with water,” Kraut said. “I was telling my friend, Hattie Plogger, about it and said if she ever ran across such a place to let us know. She told us about Jacksonville Lake and we went and looked at it and it was just perfect for us.” So what does one wear to a “Wedding in the Woods?” Certainly not the traditional attire

of an elaborate wedding dresses and tuxedos. “My dress is going to be really simple and laid back,” Kraut said. “The boys are going to just wear dress pants and a button up shirt with rolled up sleeves and no tie. Hayden hates to wear ties, plus it would look really out of place in such an outdoorsy atmosphere.” Following the short 30-minute ceremony, guests will be asked to gather around a bonfire, where they will be making s’mores. For the honeymoon, the couple must be on an airplane at 4:30 a.m. the day after the wedding so they can board a ship for a cruise around the Caribbean. Even this could prove to be out of the ordinary. “It is during hurricane season so we were able to get it really cheap,” Kraut said. “If there is a hurricane or something interrupts our cruise, then you get free cruises for like five years or something so we are like ‘Hey, bring on the rain.’” When they return to Carrollton as man and wife, the couple will reside in the parsonage at Lifepoint Church (formerly Assembly of God) where Eilerman is youth pastor and Kraut works in the office. Eilerman is also a member of the Air National Guard and works in Springfield on F-16 jet engines.

IDNR: Stay safe by leaving baby birds and other wildlife alone With summer’s arrival, the Illinois Department of Natural Resources (IDNR) reminds everyone to leave baby birds and wild animals alone. During the breeding season, well-meaning people often rescue birds and animals they believe have been orphaned or abandoned. In nearly all cases, the birds and animals are unnecessarily taken from the wild. Often, parents are still feeding their young but will not show themselves if people are present. The Illinois Wildlife Code provides legal protection for Illinois wildlife. It is against the law to keep wild animals as pets, or to raise wild animals believed to be abandoned. If you have questions, contact a licensed wildlife rehabilitator in your area. To learn more about wildlife conflicts and how you can keep yourself, your pets, and wildlife safe, visit the Living with Wildlife in Illinois website at: http://web.extension.illinois. edu/wildlife/ All wild birds except the nonnative rock pigeon, European starling and English house sparrow also are federally protected. This includes protection of eggs, nests, and feathers. The IDNR works with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to protect and manage birds in Illinois. Before you take any action, consider these facts:

Card of Thanks and In Memory policy

Card of Thanks and In Memory listings are $7.95 for 65 words and must be paid for in advance. Addtional words are .25¢ per word. Prepayment can be made by stopping by our office at 832 S. State St., Jerseyville, by credit card by phoning our office at 618-498-1234, or by mailing a check to: Jersey County Journal, P.O. Box 407, Jerseyville, IL 62052

1. Birds often leave the nest before they can fly. These birds, known as “fledglings,” will live on the ground for a few days while they grow flight feathers. Their parents will continue to feed them. Keep children and pets away. 2. Do not attempt to rescue fawns. Fawns stay very still to conceal themselves until they are old enough to keep up with their mother. Does will not stand near the fawns, because that would alert predators to their presence. Leave fawns alone and the mother will return once you leave the area. 3. It is illegal to feed wild deer. When deer congregate, it can facilitate the spread of disease. 4. Wild birds and animals can become habituated to people when they are provided food. Do not leave pet food outside at night, clean up under bird feeders, and secure garbage can lids to keep raccoons and other wildlife out. Nuisance animals can become dangerous to people. 5. Handling wild animals can result in the handler being bitten. According to the Centers for Disease Control, wild animals that bite a person must be euthanized immediately to be tested for rabies. The IDNR urges everyone to enjoy wildlife by observing, but not interfering. Keep yourself, your children and your pets safe. Leave wildlife in the wild.

Panthers win regional championship Sam Elliott Jersey County Journal As they are every year, wins within the Mississippi Valley Conference were tough to come by for the Jersey Community High School baseball team this season. Although they were one of five squads in the six-team league to win at least 20 games overall — the other, Triad, won 15 — the Panthers completed their MVC schedule with a 4-6 record. Four of those six losses came against Highland and Civic Memorial, but Jersey beat the Bulldogs 11-4 Wednesday, May 28, and the Eagles 5-3 Saturday to win the Highland Class 3A Regional championship. Saturday's regional title game against rival CM took 10 innings, but it ended with the Panthers claiming their first regional championship since 2003. "It doesn’t get much better than that. I don’t know if we’ve ever had a more exciting, hard-fought game than that in my coaching career," JCHS head coach Darren Perdun said. "Our kids have worked their butts off, especially our seniors, the last four years with summer ball and high school ball — this is just awesome. I can’t really put it into words how I feel right now, but this is awesome." The score was tied 3-3 through seven innings and stayed that way until Jersey pushed the go-ahead runs across in the top of the 10th. Christian Kimble entered his fifth at-bat of the game 0-for-4 with four strikeouts, but his two-out double to right-center field brought home Jake Varble to give the Panthers a 4-3 lead. "I was just being aggressive. You’ve got to forget about everything that’s already happened and when you’re up there you’ve got to do what you can to get a run in," Kimble said. "I wasn’t taking anything at all. The first pitch I saw that was good, I was swinging and putting a hack on it. It was my time to finally get something done after my teammates had picked me up so much. That’s just how it’s been all year, though — we pick each other up. That’s why we won this game. We had each other’s backs all the time." After an intentional walk to Luke Shively to give CM an out opportunity at every base, Jacob Witt singled home Kimble to give Jersey a late two-run lead. The Eagles got the game-tying run on base, but senior pitcher Kyle Steckel secured the save on a pair of ground balls. The first went right to Kimble to get the lead runner out at third base while the second induced a 6-4-3 double play to end the game. On offense, Steckel led the Panthers with a 3-for-5 day at the plate.

Junior Will Mortland pitched a perfect ninth inning with three strikeouts after Varble started and threw the first eight innings. The junior gave up just four hits and two earned runs with 10 strikeouts and four walks in an outing that went longer than Perdun originally planned. "We were going to pull him in the seventh," the coach said. "I walked over to him and before I could hardly get anything out of my mouth he says, ‘Coach, I got this. Don’t take me out.’ I’m not going to argue with him. He’s 6-foot-5 and 220 pounds — he’d kick my butt. I left him in and it was a good thing we did. He’s just a battler." Varble finished with three runs scored on offense, including the game-tying run in the sixth inning. He was hit by a pitch to begin the inning and reached third on a single by Kyle Obertino. With Kimble at the plate, Obertino intentionally got caught in a delayed-steal rundown between first and second base — buying time for Varble to steal home, where he slid under the tag to tie the game. "I was just looking for the second baseman to get rid of the ball, but he never got rid of it and he just kept running [toward first]," Varble said. "He took his eyes off me, so I thought I better take off then and it turned out all right." Before CM took a 3-2 lead in the fifth inning, Shively put the Panthers ahead 2-0 in the fourth with a single to score Varble and Obertino. After missing the majority of Jersey's MVC schedule due to injury, Shively's return has helped boost the already-potent Panthers' offense in the playoffs. "It hurt [being unable to play]," Shively said. "I just tried to keep everybody upbeat and be a good teammate. I told them not to worry about me and that I’d be back." Shively missed both of Jersey's MVC outings against league champion Mascoutah during the regular season, but he and the Panthers will face the Indians for a third time this year when the teams meet in a Troy Class 3A Sectional semifinal at 4 p.m. Thursday at Triad High School. Jersey (24-12) and Mascoutah (30-6) split their first two contests this season. The Indians won a 6-5 decision in eight innings April 21 in Jerseyville while the Panthers won 7-6 in nine innings May 7 in Mascoutah. Perdun expects to see Indians ace Ryan Netemeyer — 8-0 with a 1.07 earned-run average — starting Thursday and plans to counter with Kimble on the mound. "It’ll be a battle between two teams that fought hard all year, but I think we can get them," Kimble said. "We got them once — we can do it again." selliott@campbellpublications.net

Jersey Community High School junior Ellie Tonsor steps on second base for a force out before throwing to first against Highland Wednesday, May 28, at the Troy Class 3A Regional. The Lady Panthers were edged by Highland 4-2 in the regional semifinals, bringing their 2014 season to a close with a 17-16 record that set a new program record for wins. Tonsor and Jersey senior Macy Thurston each went 2-for-3 while Thurston scored both of the Lady Panthers' runs in what was the final JCHS outing for her and fellow seniors Jessica Bradfisch and Val Tonsor. selliott@campbellpublications.net
