Voter registration cards are in the mail By CYNTHIA HAGGITT Jersey County Journal Jersey County Clerk Pam Warford has a sit down discussion with the editor from Jersey County Journal about her goals as to why voter registration cards were mailed out. “After the 2020 general election, a lot of mail was sent out to folks, based on laws that were passed and some people have concerns about receiving vote by mail applications from us without having requested one," Warford said. Warford’s main objective in sending out the cards is to clean up our voter registration rolls. Mailing is done in each odd year, when there are fewer budgetary and time constraints than in even years, when there are two elections to run. The mailings help keep the voter registration list accurate and up to date. “We do it every other year, in the odd years. I’m taking a little bit of a chance doing it right now because with the delay in Census data but they’re still voting districts that could be potentially up in the air,” Warford said. “ I’m not aware of any pending changes that would relate to Jersey County. The piece of information that’s on your voter card, should show what districts you’re in.” Warford said that if for some reason after the census data comes out, and

there’s a change in the district for some reason, the county would have to notify people. “The whole purpose of the card is for us to verify that you’re still living at the address we have. So if the card arrives to you by mail as planned you get your card and that is just simply the process working, you’ve got your card, you can keep it as for your information, you can fill out the back of it if you move and send it to us,” Warford said. Otherwise, it just means the process worked. If you’re not at that address, these cards are not forwardable by the post office. Warford said,” So if you’re not at that address, the post office is supposed to send them back to us, letting us know if they have a different address on file for you. If you’re someplace else in Jersey County, we can follow up on that and get you updated if you moved out of the county. We can also follow up on that and try to update our records, and get you removed from our roles. We’re not expecting you to be voting in Jersey County , but it’s simply a way for us to try to keep a list of possible and that’s what this whole effort is.” Warford said. “My concern is that sometimes these cards typically get delivered to a home where an adult child has moved out. Maybe your daughter got married and moved away, you’re still getting her voter registration card at your house.”

“If you don’t notify us that she no longer lives, their post office is still delivering there. We didn’t get it back then. Yeah, when we send out some kind of a mailing like vote by mail applications, we’re probably gonna send that to your house, so it’s great for us if you’ll let us know. If you get a card for somebody who’s not at your residence, let our office know that there’s an error.” “That’s the whole purpose of the

card, and I just really would love it if Jersey County residents would take these cards super seriously, ” she continued. “When they see them, if there’s anything that’s incorrect about it or if there’s any problems at all, notify our office as soon as possible, so that we can go into the next election year with as up to date records as we possibly can.” (See, VOTER, A2)

The fairgrounds was packed in with huge crowds, prompting leadership to shuttle fair-goers over to the fairgrounds using an empty stock trailer.

The Jersey County Fair finished out on a high note as 2021’s fair came to a close The fairgrounds were packed with huge crowds throughout the week, often limiting parking, and in one case necessitating crowds be transported from the high school. Fairgoers were shuttled in a stock trailer that traveled back and forth from the high school. The Friday night tractor pull was rained out, but the Saturday event

and Sunday demolition derby saw some of the biggest crowds ever, according to Fair Board President Phil Ringhausen. Ringhausen stated he was very encouraged by this year’s turnout. Social media blew up with pictures, videos and numerous posts on Facebook pages about how successful it was and how excited people

were for next year’s fair. “Folks, you sincerely made this one of the best fairs in our history. We love to see families grow in love with agriculture and the tradition of our county fair. Because of y’all, we can keep it country for years to come,” a Facebook post from the Jersey County Fair read.

Pritzker, Stratton announce reelection bid Jane Rose Morgan, Pandemic response Sales Representative emphasized in first video ad By JERRY NOWICKI Capitol News Illinois Democratic Gov. JB Pritzker announced Monday he will seek a second term, joined once again by Lt. Gov. Juliana Stratton as a running mate. In a three-minute kickoff video ending with the tagline “strong leadership in tough times,” the governor emphasized his response to the COVID-19 pandemic and contrasted himself to former U.S. President Donald Trump, with whom Pritzker frequently sparred during the height of the pandemic. “When I ran for governor four years ago, I could not have imagined that I would end up leading the state through a global pandemic,” Pritzker said in the ad. “Look, I may not have gotten every decision right. But at every step along the way I followed the science and focused on protecting the lives and livelihoods of the people of Illinois.” The ad shows business owners, local politicians and Illinoisans from across the state touting Pritzker’s pandemic response. Another one-minute video posted to the Pritzker campaign’s YouTube channel features Stratton, the state’s first Black lieutenant governor, touting the “history” of the pair’s 2020 election to the state’s executive office. “Over these last three years we’ve made massive strides to move Illinois in the right direction, but we know there’s still a lot of work ahead of us,” Stratton said in the ad. “We’ve got to help families get through the other side of the pandemic. We’ve got to continue tackling the systemic inequalities and barriers to justice that have been pres-

GOV. JB PRITZKER ent for far too long, we’ve got to build on what we’ve started, keep putting Illinois on the right track and continue moving forward together.” The announcement comes as the state is in the middle of a broader reopening period after more than a year of economic restrictions levied by Pritzker, largely through executive order, in response to the pandemic that has killed more than 23,000 Illinoisans. But it also comes as the state and nation are seeing a resurgence of the virus as vaccination rates stagnate and a new more contagious variant spreads. As the numbers rise, Pritzker’s office said Friday the governor currently has “no plan to implement any additional mitigations now that there is an abundance of vaccine available and accessible across Illinois. We encourage all Illinoisans ages 12-plus to get vaccinated as soon as possible.” But Pritzker, speaking at a news conference regarding infrastructure later Friday, said his administration is “always open to making changes in policy in order to keep people safe and healthy.”

“Obviously, we’ve got rising rates of infection in certain parts of the state, and decisions will be made, if those areas continue to have rising infection rates, about whether or not we need to impose some different standard for those areas,” he said, speaking of counties on the border of Missouri, which has one of the worst infection rates in the nation. Pritzker spent $171 million of his multi-billion dollar personal fortune during his successful election to unseat Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner in 2018. In recent weeks, the governor has been bankrolling “Blue Wave Illinois” ads on social media, emphasizing Illinois Democrats’ accomplishments such as a minimum wage increase passed in 2019 and Republicans’ unanimous opposition to the measure. He will join a 2022 field that includes three announced Republican candidates and a number of other intriguing potential candidates. That includes Darren Bailey, a state senator from Xenia who was an outspoken critic of the governor’s pandemic response, challenging Pritzker’s executive orders in court in a high profile case that was eventually tossed by a judge. Paul Schimpf, an ex-state senator and former unsuccessful GOP candidate for attorney general in 2014, has also been campaigning across the state. Gary Rabine, a Schaumburg businessman who founded the Rabine Group, an exterior services company, is also seeking the Republican nomination. Capitol News Illinois is a nonprofit, nonpartisan news service covering state government and distributed to more than 400 newspapers statewide. It is funded primarily by the Illinois Press Foundation and the Robert R. McCormick Foundation.

Jersey County Journal has a new Sales Representative, and her Name is Jane Rose Morgan. Morgan’s newspaper career started at the Alton Telegraph in March of 1973 in the Classified Advertising Department. In 1985, She moved to the Display Advertising Department as an outside Sales Representative. In 1996, Morgan moved to the Edwardsville Intelligencer/ Hearst Communications as Special Projects Sales Representative. In 1998, she was honored to receive the Hearst Newspapers Marketing Excellence Award. In 2000, she moved to

the St. Louis Post-Dispatch as an Automotive Sales Representative. In later years, she handled Real Estate and Home Builders. “I retired from the PostDispatch in December 2018,” Morgan said. “I enjoyed the sales positions I held at all three newspapers, making lifelong friends with advertisers and coworkers. I guess you would say I have “ink in my veins.” I am excited to join Better Newspapers as a Sales Representative for the Jersey County Journal, Calhoun News Herald, Pike Press, Greene Prairie Press, Scott County Times.”

Voter (Continued from A1) Since the publication last week there has been some response. “We actually had a couple of calls from people who saw the article,” she said. "Some of the calls from people have reminded them to let the county know they have moved. We have a new address or whatever, so that’s perfect,”She said. Warford’s goal was accomplished from this outcome from the previous publication.

Warford said she expects the cards to go out next week even though the mail has been a little slower lately than normal. “I hope since it’s just a postcard when people see their card in the mail by the end of next week or maybe in the following week,” Warford stated. “I just don’t want voters to be surprised when they see the card and wonder, ‘Why in the heck am I getting this from the county clerk? What’s this all about?’”

Ruth Ann Swarringim

good GROWING

Ruth Ann Swarringim, formerly of Jerseyville, left this world to go home to be with her Lord and savior Jesus Christ on Thursday, July 8, 2021 at age 77 after a long and courageous battle with cancer, surrounded by loved ones who will continue to honor her legacy by living their lives with many of the same values she passed down. Anyone who met Ruth would tell you she had a ‘heart of gold’ or a ‘special glow about her’. An angel in disguise, her overabundance of selfless love radiated from her, making her stand out as an amazing mother, grandmother, greatgrandmother, sister, and dear friend to many. She was born to Margery (Russell) Scheffel and Lowell ‘Chick’ Huett on September 29, 1943. Ruth enjoyed reflecting on her school age years, growing up in the country. It was during this time in her life when the beautiful traits that made Ruth exceptionally special were instilled within her: Love the Lord with all your heart, keep life simple, be content with what you have, work hard (with your hands), appreciate every moment and everything you have, and love your family and the ones you are with. This is how Ruth embraced every moment of her life. As a school age girl, Ruth would tell you, “I loved spending time with and helping my mother [Margery]”. It was during this time that Ruth developed her amazing work ethic, studied hard in school, and helped take care of her younger brothers and sisters; and once she became old enough, she began working on family farms, detasseling corn by hand. She would often say “It was hard work but I enjoyed this time in my life”. In her spare time, she enjoyed learning from her mother how to sew and make her own clothes. She also found joy in playing the guitar (by ear), and even wrote many of her own songs. After graduating from Jerseyville Community High School, Ruth could have pursued a modeling career (she

was beautiful). But because she enjoyed working with her hands, Ruth chose to first work at a garment factory in Missouri and then at Owens Illinois Glass Co. ‘Glassworks’ factory. She later found a job that fulfilled her calling to care for people at Jerseyville Community Hospital, where she helped others and worked tirelessly at a long career that extended nearly 29 years. The simplest pleasures in life brought great joy to Ruth. She deeply cherished the time with her grandchildren and family. Showering them with love and attention at every opportunity, she would drop whatever she was doing when asked to sew up ‘do surgery’ on stuffed animals or play board games, always making sure her grandkids somehow won more games than they lost. Even if only sitting awhile watching shows, visiting or being asked to offer sage advice would make Ruth light up and outpour her heart and love. When not spending time with her family, she loved to crochet, bake (the best chocolate chip oatmeal cookies ever), fish, and even target practice (she could accurately out-shoot just about anybody). She had a unique ability to find happiness in her daily activities, whether working outside planting flowers to make the yard a beautiful place (a gifted green-thumb), sitting peacefully playing her guitar, or cleaning and organizing her home (never have I seen a more organized and clean home). Ruth’s genuine heart-felt personality, kindness, compassion and love was contagious to everyone she met.

Leroy Allen Stiles, 83, of Dow, died at 6:55 p.m., Tuesday, June 29, 2021 at his residence after a courageous battle with cancer. He was born in Rosedale, Illinois on November 25, 1937, and was the son of the late Mannie and Doris (Grether) Stiles. He graduated from Jersey Community High School in Jerseyville, and obtained an Associate’s Degree from Lewis & Clark Community College in Godfrey. He served his country with the United States Navy, retiring in 1974 after 20 years of dedicated service. It was while he was serving in the Navy that he met, Ruth Ann Maahs. He and Ruth married on October 7, 1972 in Ridley Park, Pennsylvania, and together the two have shared the last 48 years together.

Soon after his discharge, he returned to Jersey County, and began working in the maintenance department at Lewis & Clark Community College, retiring after 25 years of service. Surviving are his wife, Ruth Ann Stiles of Dow; a daughter, Sara Stiles of Dow; a son and daughter inlaw, Michael and Stephanie Stockton of Pennsylvania; five grandchildren; and one great grandson. In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by a son, Gary Stiles; and an infant son, Mannie Stiles; as well as his stepmother, Eva (Ramsey) Stiles. A Memorial Service will be conducted at 1:00 p.m., Sunday, July 25, 2021 at Hope Lutheran Church in Jerseyville, with Rev. David Wilshek officiating. In recognition of his dedi-

How full is your invasive species radar? Mine is overwhelmed as we deal with the current group of Japanese beetles, emerald ash borer, bush honeysuckle, and so many more. Plus, in Illinois, we are girding for the impending arrival of the very destructive spotted lanternfly. Then a notification arrives the USDA has prohibited the import of boxwood, holly, and euonymus species from Canada to prevent the spread of the box tree moth (Cydalima perspectalis). I didn’t even look that one up to see what it does, but I bet it’s not good. Hopefully, they will nip it in the bud, so I won’t have to learn a new invasive species, but reports show infestations at three inspection sites in the US. Yikes! Well, if your invasive species runs over as mine does, I’ve got a new one for you that has been confirmed throughout Illinois including McDonough County – the jumping worm (Amynthas spp.). Yes, you read that correctly, there is now an invasive earthworm crawling through the dirt. The pace of the world has sped up and after only a few years, we’re seeing the jumping worm move across the country. How are these worms spreading so quickly? If your very next thought is “humans” you’re catching on to some common invasive species themes. The invasive jumping worm is believed to primarily spread through transporting compost and mulch. Identifying the invasive jumping worm is a large worm, up to eight inches long, and tends to have very glossy skin. Jumping worm as its name implies will jump, squirm, flip, and perform all manner of impressive gymnastics when touched. Their movement can almost appear snake-like as they thrash in an s-shaped manner.

Another characteristic is the jumping worm’s top is darker in color. As they squirm and jump you will see the opposing flashes of color. Jumping worms also have a smooth, milky white clitellum (colored band) that completely circles the body and is not raised. What Makes These Worms So Bad? When it comes to jumping worms, it is fairly new so there are quite a few unknowns. Here are a few things that have been researched or observed: They are voracious consumers of organic matter. Established populations are known to create soil resembling coffee grounds. They can survive almost exclusively on cellulose, allowing them to persist on mulch alone. The adult worms cannot survive our winters, but their eggs can. Eggs and young worms can be transported on tools and moved on divided garden plants.

Preliminary study in Wisconsin shows that when jumping worms arrive in a forest setting, they displace other earthworms until jumping worms are all that is left. Jumping worms have the potential to be very destructive in both home landscapes and natural areas. Is there anything to control these worms? Unfortunately, not. You can remove adult worms to reduce the amount of egg-laying occurring in the soil. Place them in a plastic bag and set them in the sun where they will quickly die. Do you think you found a jumping worm in your yard? Bring in a sample to your local Extension office for identification. Good Growing Tip of the Week: Suspect you have jumping worms but don’t see them? You can extract them from the ground by mixing 1/3 cup of ground yellow mustard seed with a gallon of water. This drives the worms to the surface.

Meteorite or myth? The urban legend surrounding the Courthouse Boulder O

ne of Jerseyville’s more enduring urban legends centers around the huge boulder that sits in the southeastern corner of Jersey County’s Courthouse lawn. For years, it has been rumored that the 8-foot by 5-foot rock is a meteorite. Prior to 1918, the enormous stone was located “south of town” on Isaac Snedeker’s farm. Jerseyville has grown a bit since then, as the Snedeker farm sat where McDonald’s restaurant is located today. Paul Thatcher, who farmed for Snedeker, had the misfortune of discovering the buried boulder while plowing one day. The hunk of granite suffered little damage; the plow was not so fortunate. Over the years, as the exposed portion of the boulder grew, so did speculation surrounding the rock’s origins. Professor Pike, supervisor of Jerseyville public schools, hypothesized that the boulder was of meteoric origin, part of a shooting star. Pike’s speculation became a urban legend that has persisted for more than 100 years. Unfortunately, it’s not true. According to the Meteoritical Society, a group that tracks and records meteorites, Illinois is home to 10 meteors. None are located in this area. While the gigantic hunk of granite’s origins may not be out of this world, they are out of this country. According to geologists, the stone was originally located in the Hudson Bay area of Canada. It was transported southward via a glacier during the Ice Age. When the earth warmed and glaciers receded northward, the boulder was left behind. Another rumor regarding the rock was that it marked the location of buried treasure. Early one morning, Paul Thatcher discovered that someone’s curiosity got the best of them. Although the perpetrator was long gone, someone obviously had tried to dig to the bottom of the boulder under the cover of night. Apparently, the fortune-seeker ran out of steam before he ran out of rock. So how did the 7-ton boulder end up on the Courthouse lawn? In 1918, a committee was created to plan Jersey County’s 80th anniversary celebration the following year. Arthur

Urban Legend of the boulder that sits in the southeastern corner of Jersey County’s Courthouse is a stone that sets historical debates. Questions arise regarding if it’s a meteorite or just a local myth.

Guest Column

Thatcher, Paul’s son, BY BETH MCGLASSON served on that committee and suggested the remarkable rock be moved to the Courthouse lawn and a commemorative plaque attached. The committee agreed. Moving a behemoth boulder back then was no small feat. A tractor and heavy chains were used to painstakingly unearth the rock. It was then moved, at a snail’s pace, to Courthouse Square via plank runners. There, workmen used a block and tackle to position the rock in its final resting place. –––––––––––––––––––– Q Beth McGlasson is a history buff and vice president of the Jersey County Historical Society.

Be advised what your children are taught in schools TO THE EDITOR: Parents, be advised about what your children are being taught in schools. Some of the things are antifamily and anit-Christian. According to an article in decision magazine ( A publication of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association), our children are being taught Queer theology and Critical Race theory. Queer theology, as I understand it says that if a child wants to be ge gay, or transgender, that’s ok, there are more than two sexes, and that gender is fluid. God created us male and female, God created two sexes, no more, no less. Genders are not fluid, God made you physically either a man or a woman. When the San Fransico Gay Men’s Chorus posted a video of them singing a song that contained the line about, “coming for your children.” It sounds like this one way that they want to do it. Critical Race Theory (CRT) states that we are all products of our environment. It is saying that if a black commits a crime, it’s because they are black and live in a ghetto, and whites would never do such a thing. This isn’t true when

there are blacks who are honest and God -fearing people and live in the ghettos and not all whites are wealthy. These theories are detrimental to children. Think of how they feel denying their true gender. Think of the mental and physical anguish they will experience as they defy God. How will they look at someone who is of a different skin color? What is the real motive of the left

here? Get involved and go to school board meetings if you can. Talk to your kids about these things. Talk to their teachers. Pray for our students, teachers and our country. These things are really starting to hit home. Especially with the recent protest at Grace Community Baptist Church. ROGER NEWBERRY Jerseyville, Ill.

LINDA HOSKINS I tried a new recipe last week that turned out really good. It’s not really a summer meal, but you can save this recipe for fall or winter time. I found this recipe for Baked Pasta Puttanesca in a magazine. Puttanesca is a sauce typically containing olives, garlic, capers, hot pepper and usually anchovies. When I made this, I did not put the anchovies in, but I think I may add them the next time I make this. To be honest, I don’t know LI , OLNH DQFKRY\ ¿OOHWV QRW sure if I have ever had them. If you want to know more about anchovies, read to end of column. This recipe makes 10 servings, so I made just a half recipe. It was still a lot for the two of us. BAKED PASTA PUTTANESCA (makes 10 servings) Q 1 16-oz pkg spaghetti Q 1 lb. hamburger Q 1 medium onion, chopped Q 1 Tbsp minced garlic Q 24 oz jar pasta sauce Q 1 cup ripe olives, chopped Q 3 Tbsp capers, drained Q WVS UHG SHSSHU ÀDNHV Q 1/2 tsp seasoned salt

ISVA: Keep pets safe in hot cars, during summer heat If it’s brutally hot outside for you, it’s likely even hotter for your pet. The Illinois State Veterinary Medical Association (ISVMA) wants pet owners to clearly understand the risks that hot weather brings to beloved companion animals and outdoor pets. When it comes to cars, even on a temperate day, heat rises in a matter of minutes to sometimes over 100 degrees. Imagine what can happen when it’s already more than 95 degrees outside with a dog locked in a closed car without air conditioning running. “We encourage pet owners to only travel with their pets when it’s hot out only if absolutely necessary,” says Dr. Olivia Rudolphi, President, ISVMA. “Sure, it’s always nice to take the pup out for a drive to get them out of the house. But if you leave him or her in the car, even for a short period of time with windows cracked, it’s just not enough for the rising heat to escape from the vehicle.” Dr. Rudolphi suggests leaving the pet at home if there is a possibility that they will be required to be kept in a vehicle without adequate ventilation. If you’re going on a car trip with your dog or cat, she suggests you consider these tips to ensure their and your utmost safety: When you’re on a road trip with a pet, prepare to make sure they can stay hydrated. Ensure there is plenty of cool water and that they have seating or riding options that can keep them out of the direct sun. Q Create safety boundaries: Keep your dog or cat away from your driving space in the car. It’s never a good idea to let animals rest on your lap, to lay in a foot well or hang out windows, actions that could cause an accident. Know that it is against the law in Illinois to have a pet in the driver’s seat while the car is in motion. Q Don’t play with or feed your pet while driving. Distractions can cause interference with your ability to react to any driving condition. Q When stopped for a break, avoid letting your pet walk on hot surfaces, such as blacktop or concrete parking lots or sidewalks that can burn his or her paws. Q Talk with your veterinarian about hot weather tips and how to keep your pet safe from heat exposure/exhaustion. It’s extremely important to know how to recognize the symptoms of heat stress and what first aid you may administer if your pet becomes stressed. Dr. Rudolphi reports that there are other summertime safety issues to keep in mind as

well beyond car travel: Q Take walks or hikes in cooler times of day (morning/evening), not running or walking with your dog in the hottest times of day (mid-morning/noon/early afternoon). Q If you have an outdoor dog, cat or other animal, ensure they have plenty of water to drink and have shade options to keep them out of the direct sun. Consider moving them indoors, into a garage with plenty of ventilation (i.e., fan) or in a basement where it is cooler than outside during the hottest times of the day. Q Consider a “summer cut” for your pooch, helping him or her to keep their body cooler. Q Perform frequent “coat checks” to look for ticks embedded in their fur if in the great outdoors. Make sure they’re protected with effective anti-parasite collars, powders, treatments or other preventative options. Q Talk with your veterinarian about heartworm protection, even if you have a dog that is primarily kept indoors. Mosquitos are equal-opportunity organisms and it only takes a matter of seconds for a bite from a single mosquito to infect your dog. This is a simple and effective way to keep your dog safe from infection by these deadly parasites. Q Make sure garden and yard fertilizers, pesticides and chemicals are out of a pet’s reach. Also, be sure to read the labels of each chemical to determine the withdrawal time the pet needs to be restricted from the treated area. Q Know that dirt, mud and standing bodies of water (stagnant ponds) can be breeding grounds for infectious parasites. Q When you have your pet out in larger bodies of water, whether on a boat or at a beach, make sure they are protected with a flotation device or other safety gear as water currents or large waves can be just as dangerous to them as they are to people. Q If cooking outdoors, know that there are human foods that can be toxic or dangerous to animals, especially dogs. These would include bones from various cuts of meat (pork chops/steaks/ribs/chicken), pork products (rich in fat that can upset stomachs), alcohol, guacamole and anything made with or has naturally occurring sugar as an ingredient (desserts/baked goods, ketchup, BBQ sauce, grapes). Chocolate can be toxic to dogs. Also, it’s a good idea not to pour grille drippings on the ground for a pet to eat; they could ingest dirt and rocks, creating all kinds of problems.

Local Jerseyville man threatens a Jersey County officer and his wife Lloyd A. Hawes, 70, of Jerseyville, was charged with aggravated battery, a Class 2 felony; aggravated assault of a peace officer/fire/ER worker, a Class 4 felony; criminal trespass to real property, a Class B misdemeanor; and disorderly conduct, a Class C misdemeanor, after the man went to a police officer’s home and threatened the Jerseyville officer and his family. Court records show that Hawes acted aggressively with the officer’s wife and yelled at her. Hawes also supposedly kicked the officer in his leg and threatened to kill him. Jersey County State’s Attorney Ben Goetten said Hawes went to the officer’s home and rang the doorbell several times, challenging the occupants. After this, Hawes went around to the back of the

house and allegedly encountered the officer’s wife in the back yard. According to court records, bail was set at $150,000. Jersey County State’s Attorney Ben Goetten said there is no history between the officer and Hawes. In the past six months, Jerseyville Police has had several complaints against Hawes. Reports show that the wife was scared to death and after the occurrence the officer confronted Hawes and told him “numerous times” to get off his property. When Hawes refused to listen and the officer escorted him off the property, that is when Hawes kicked the officer in the leg. When the Jerseyville officer was verbally threatened by Hawes, who said he was going to kill the police officer, it was then that the officer called the police.

Bain-Moore received several blue ribbons in the egg section and caught the attention of several exhibitors and visitors. The judge was highly impressed by the quality of the yolks and whites. Folks wanted to know her secret to such good eggs, with the answer being a good diet of quality feed along with allowing the chickens to free range.

The rodeo was a real crowd pleaser and was well-attended despite the rain. The event continues to grow in popularity with each passing year, so much so that we shouldn’t be surprised if several young Jersey County ladies one day take to the track to compete in the barrel races.

The power wheels derby, which took place before the demolition derby, was a huge success, with good times being had by all the kiddos who participated.

The Reis family of Barry, Il, exhibited in the dairy show at the Jersey County Fair and the family made sure that little Macie got some good prep time before the show by working one of the Jersey heifers in the showring. It seems that they want to make sure she gets that livestock showing in her blood while she’s young.

Camryn Green, daughter of Michael and Katelyn (Pohlman) Green, didn’t let the rain ruin her high spirits Thursday night at the fair. Camryn is an aspiring barrel racer, so she made sure her mom and grandmothers, Robin Green and Angela Hefner-Laird, took her out to the annual rodeo. While the bull riding was going on, Camryn took a break to ride some rides and get her picture taken on the Ford Model B that the Tri-County Antique Club brought to the fairgrounds. Camryn said her dad is a fan of red tractors though, so hopefully riding the green ones won’t get her in any trouble.

Saturday night at the fair was unexpectedly one of the busiest Saturday nights in the fair’s known history. Around 7 pm, there was no longer any available parking on the grounds, so the parking lot at the high school started filling up. A bus couldn’t be located in such a short span of time, but a stock trailer was available to haul fair-goers to the grounds.

Tiffany Blasa won Best of Show in the Agricultural and Garden Products department for her lavender. The quality of the specimen, coupled with its presentation and the difficulty that comes from growing good lavender, were some of the reasons why the judge chose Blasa’s entry as Best of Show in the herb section.

Karen Miller of Brighton exhibited over thirty items in the Floriculture department this year. Her hard work paid off, as she was the recipient of one of the Best of Show ribbons in the department.
