Group files PTELL petitions By BOB CROSSEN Jersey County Journal Property Tax Extension Limitation Law (PTELL) could be the subject of a referendum this November when voters take to the polls. A group of individuals gathered more than 1,300 signatures – and are still getting more – in favor of an advisory question to be placed on the ballot. The question would read “Should Jersey County taxpayers be given the opportunity to vote on PTELL?” Vicki Gross, one of the petition’s organizers, said the purpose of the question is to give a voice to the voters, explaining how much they would like – or would not like – to vote on PTELL. “The public needs the right to have a say with what goes on with their tax money, and not the school district, not the local government. The people are the ones that need to have the say,” Gross said. “We the people. We have to keep that in mind.” County Clerk Steve Pohlman said the advisory question must go through the same process as other ballot issues before it is confirmed to be placed on the ballot. He said the issue can be disputed like any other issue, noting he already received a call inquiring as to the objection process. He said the group had to

rouse a little more than 750 signatures – 8 percent of those who voted during the last gubernatorial election – for the issue to be placed on the November ballot. “They had about double that,” Pohlman said. “Whoever files the objections, they have to go page by page and compare it with our voting lists to see if they are good and valid. I’m sure they have enough.” Pohlman said the countywide list of voters is around 1,400 pages long, and takes roughly an hour to print all the pages. Gross said the group began seeking signatures in May, commenting that some members of the group deserve medals for their volunteerism because they treated it like a regular job. She said they tried to hit every possible area in the county, not just Jerseyville. People in favor of the referendum, she said, cite similar reasons as to why they should be allowed to vote on the matter. Gross said the majority against PTELL worry about funding for Jersey Community Unit School District 100. Passage of the referendum would not mean PTELL would be established in Jersey County, but rather would indicate the voters’ desire to have a voice on the issue. Gross said the group has not planned what will occur (See, PTELL, A2)

Training simulates real school shooter By ROBERT LYONS Jersey County Journal Simulating a real life school shooter situation, local educators recently furthered their training to minimize devastation should their worst fears be realized. In the final week of June, the chief of police from Columbia led a two-day seminar at Jersey Community High School. Officers put the approximately 25 volunteer participants into situations they could face should an intruder enter a school with ill intentions. Blank rounds were fired from guns, making the situation even more realistic. “It was probably the most surreal training that I’ve experienced in a school setting,” Superintendent Dr. Lori Hopkins said. “It appeared to be real. It provided those in attendance to really assess the situation, and to even know what the sound of a firearm going off is like in a school building.” The training, according to Hopkins, taught participants to think in terms of the ALICE and the 4E methods of safety. ALICE stands for alert, lockdown, inform, counter and evacuate. The four E’s are educate, evade, escape and engage. Barricading doors, communicating

a shooter’s whereabouts and looking for opportunities to flee from the area were major points of focus in both methods. While most aspects of the training were designed to ensure safety without confrontation or conflict, the counter

“This particular training, there weren’t any ‘what ifs?’ It was, you’re in a certain place and you hear gun shots. Now react.”

Lori Hopkins Superintendent portion of the ALICE approach and the engage of 4E calls for teachers, or even students, to use physical force to neutralize a threat. “If an intruder walked in the front door with a weapon and began shooting, and you happened to be walking behind this person…it might be the perfect opportunity to try and take the

gun,” Hopkins said. Of course, who confronts a shooter varies by situation and grade level. Hopkins said students in the elementary or middle school setting cannot be expected to engage a shooter, and that dynamic was addressed during training. “The teacher would have to state what you are going to do with your students,” the superintendent said. “Are you going to allow your students to help you in order to block the door… or are you going to immediately put them up somewhere and you are going to do what you can to block out this individual?” ALICE’s counter step can include creating noise, movement or anything else to distract a shooter, reduce his accuracy and buy time to escape, according to alicetraining.com. Counter is to be utilized as the worst-case scenario option, the site states. Hopkins said younger students are better prepared by establishing routines, which can be as useful in dayto-day situations as they are at a time of crisis. In October 2013, the district held active shooter drills during professional development days. Hopkins (See, TrAining, A2)

TRS employer contribution strikes Jersey 100 finances By BOB CROSSEN Jersey County Journal A legislative change to the Illinois Teachers Retirement System (TRS) will have an impact on the finances of Jersey Community School District 100. The change was made to employer contributions to the retirement system from salaries that are paid with federal funds. On Aug. 15, 2013, the TRS board of trustees voted to reduce the rate districts must pay for employees whose salaries are paid with federal dollars. Initially the contribution rate was 35.4 percent, but was reduced to seven percent which is in line with the contributions for teachers paid through local and state funds. Lori Hopkins, Unit 100 superintendent, said she took this change into account when preparing a bud-

get using the $3.2 million working cash bonds issued by the district earlier this year. But the Illinois General Assembly (IGA) reversed the TRS decision, bringing the contribution rate back to the 35.4 percent contribution with Senate Bill 220, which was signed into law June 30. “When I built the personnel plan from the $3.2 million working cash deficit reduction plan, this was one of the areas that I took into consideration,” Hopkins said, adding the financial committee worked on the plan, as well. “When we built this plan, we transferred several [teachers] to TRS for the reason that seven percent was the contribution rate.” In a fictional example, Hopkins said the federal government could send the district $100,000 of Title I funds, which could be used to pay teachers’ salaries and professional (See, finAncES, A2)

Stadium expansion still in the works

Jersey crowns lifeguard as fair queen

By ROBERT LYONS Jersey County Journal There are still plans for Jerseyville’s Stadium Theatre to undergo further renovations and expansion this summer, it just won’t be as extensive as initially planned. Theater owner Steve Dougherty said the movie industry is struggling as a whole, and his operations have not been immune. He said the combination of the economy and the quality of films being produced is to blame. “The movie industry is down this year. I think they’re hitting the 3D movies a little bit too hard,” Dougherty said. “I look for it to rebound, but it’s down substantially.” Dougherty’s initial plans called for doubling the Stadium’s offerings from two screens to four. He had hoped to begin construction of the new portion by the beginning of May. But, income has suffered through the first half of 2014, according to Dougherty. July, which is traditionally one of the two best months for movie ticket sales, has seen a 40 percent drop in ticket sales compared to previous years, he said.

By BOB CROSSEN Jersey County Journal The Jersey County Fair Queen broke a precedence this year by being among the youngest queens crowned and also by being sponsored by a company outside the agriculture industry. Lauren Kight, 18, graduated from Jersey Community High School May 18, and shortly after she began her research for the fair pageant. Sponsored by Raging Rivers in Grafton where she is a lifeguard, Kight said she spent hours researching the agriculture industry in Jersey County and talking to former queens throughout the area. Taking home both the Miss Congeniality award and the title of fair queen still hadn’t sunk in nearly a week after she was crowned. “It just feels unreal,” Kight said Tuesday. “I was not expecting to receive this. I was going to be (See, quEEn, A2) Bob Crossen/Jersey County Journal

“It’s not been good,” he said. “It made me take a small step backward. That’s why I’m not going with two screens.” Now, he’s looking at adding just one more screen. Like the original plan, he still anticipates adding new restrooms and restoring the original lobby area. He said he hopes to break ground by the beginning of August. The design has been decided upon and subcontractors are lined up to begin the work, he said. “We’re ready to move forward,” he said. Dougherty purchased the parking lot adjacent to the theater from the city of Jerseyville to secure the space needed for expansion. Expanding again in the future to four screens is still a possibility, he said. Stadium Theatre was purchased and re-opened by Dougherty in 2012, after former owner AMC closed the doors and put the business up for sale. Dougherty is no stranger to expansion. He built the Westside Cinema in Litchfield in 1985 as a two-screen movie house and has added on twice, to make it the four-screen theater it is today.

PTELL

(Continued from A1) after passage or failure of the referendum in November, but noted she is hopeful the results will show the county board how much voters care about putting their voice into the ring. PTELL has been a discussion item within the county since August 2012, when it was first brought up in public comment at a county board meeting by Stephanie Houseman. She is the wife of John Houseman who at the time was running for county board office. He was elected in November of the same year. The law limits the extension a taxing body may receive. When a taxing body makes a levy, it requests a certain amount of taxpayer money it would use to pay for its expenses. The extension is the amount of money that is distributed to the taxing body based on its levy number. However, if the equalized assessed value (EAV) of

property in the taxing body’s district cannot support the full levy, the body receives less than it requested. PTELL would limit how much would be extended to a taxing body to five percent or the rate of inflation, whichever is lower. The law was originally designed for collar counties of Chicago where EAV and property taxes were increasing faster than the rate of inflation. As part of the discussion within Jersey County, the county board established the Jersey County Tax Study Group, which was formed to research the impacts PTELL would have on taxing bodies as well as the public. The group did not recommend the county board place the issue of PTELL on the ballot in an 8-to-4 vote, citing additional circumstances. By virtue of placing the issue on the ballot, Greenfield and Southwestern school districts would be placed under PTELL because constituents in those

counties approved the measure. They are not bound by the law, however, because part of their districts reach into Jersey County where PTELL has not been passed. On April 9, the county board voted in line with the JCTSG in a 7-to-5 vote, and did not place the issue on the ballot for November. Gross said this further reduced her trust in county government, which was duly elected to serve the people. “Right or wrong, we still should have that right to come to that conclusion,” Gross said. “If we foul it up, then we have nobody to blame but ourselves.” Voters will take to the polls Nov. 4, to vote for local and state representatives, including the state’s governor. PTELL is just one of the referenda on the ballot, as the school district also has a question posed to voters about the establishment of a one percent sales tax.

“The fair board decided to spend some money and go with a different backdrop,” Price said, noting the old backdrop was a series of panel walls “That seemed to just make the stage look bigger and wider in itself, so that was complements of the fair board.” The stage had a curtain backdrop and decorative plants – donated by The Plant Stand – lining the edges of the stage on which the contestants walked. “It was a big, huge help from sponsors just being able to donate their things,” Price said. Kight was sponsored by Raging Rivers, diverging from the traditional fair pageant sponsors with ties to the agriculture industry, but that didn’t stop her from learning about local farmers. “It is the core of Jersey County, and it does many positive things,” Kight said. “It drives the economy. It creates job opportunities and it gives a good reputation to family-owned businesses.” In addition to her research on the agriculture industry, Kight’s family and friends would asker her pop questions

Training

simulation, gives participants perspective on the topics covered during training, Hopkins said. “It’s that active reflection of the surreal piece of our training that causes people to educate themselves,” she said. “No longer do they just walk in and attend a day of training on crises, but they now go in every day and assess their environment.” Columbia is also part of a pilot program for a smartphone application that connects all the teachers in a building, and can instantly alert all faculty and staff members of a situation, as well as law enforcement. The app also uses GPS, which can map the location of a shooting alert. Hopkins said she was intrigued by the program and plans to do more research. The training, devices and software are all just tools at a school’s disposal. However, Hopkins said life and death outcomes can ultimately be decided by the choices made during an actual emergency. “You have to make the best guess that you can, based on the information that you have,” she said. The training at JCHS was provided free of charge by the Columbia Police Department.

Finances

(Continued from A1) development. If two teachers were paid around $40,000, there would only be 20 percent of the total amount of money left. At a seven percent contribution rate, the district would have only a small percent of the total funds remaining to pay for professional development, but with the change back to 35.4 percent, the district must come up with additional funding to not only contribute to TRS, but also pay for the professional development for which the district has budgeted. Hopkins said she was unaware of the change until a school administrator found the information in a table on the TRS website. She said she was not notified of the change by

TRS or the IGA. Traditionally, she said the district has not paid salaries with Title I funds because of the contribution rate. But with the district’s financial struggles and word of the reduced contribution rate, Hopkins said she planned on the reduced rate as a way to spare money in the education fund for other teachers’ salaries. “You can use a certain percentage for salaries, but we chose to never do that because of that contribution rate,” Hopkins said. “It’s not worth it if you have to give up 35 percent.” The Illinois state legislature has contributed its share to TRS for decades, according to the TRS website. Based on information found on the TRS website, the system has less than $0.41 on hand for each $1

promised by the general assembly. Last summer, the Illinois legislature passed pension reform, which would affect teachers who are a part of TRS by increasing the retirement age for some and reduce contributions. “If the law is upheld by the courts, it would reduce total state contributions to TRS over the next 30 years by an estimated $85 billion; money that could be used to fund other state services and programs,” information on the TRS website states. Hopkins said she planned to bring the issue to the board Wednesday to further explain the impact the change to TRS contributions for employees paid through federal funds will have on the district’s finances.

(Continued from A1) said the previous drills were very different from the more recent training. The 2013 sessions were geared toward a proactive approach to combating threats. That training was all scenario based and dialogue driven, she said. “This particular training, there weren’t any ‘what ifs?’” Hopkins said. “It was, you’re in a certain place and you hear gun shots. Now react.” The trainers, which also included Columbia school district’s assistant superintendent, presented a few other innovations, which Jersey schools may adopt, Hopkins said. One is a simple piece of equipment, designed by a shop teacher at Columbia, consisting of a plastic tubing and zip ties that keep doors from being pushed in. “We have a paraprofessional who, after assessing the doors at the high school, went home and she put a little device together using a two-by-four and a piece of rope,” Hopkins said. “She put it on our doors and there was no way someone was getting in with that contraption on there.” Living through a situation, even in a controlled

Her drive toward preparing for the pageant is echoed by her achievements in high school, which included graduating suma cum laude with a GPA of 5.018, achieving the title of of Illinois State Scholar and participating in the National Honor Society. Kight said she is excited for the year-long journey that awaits her as the face of Jersey County. “I want to be a queen who is involved in the community,” Kight said. “I have a couple things that I want to do to get involved within the community and not just sit around and look pretty.” Kight will represent Jersey County at the Miss Illinois County Fair Queen Pageant in January in Springfield. She is also representing the county at other county fairs in the state at their respective pageants.

its cultural identity and the importance of agriculture was important to her. She said she didn’t want to be someone “sitting around looking pretty,” but rather wanted to be active in the community, able to answer questions on the spot. She said she aspires to be a legal news correspondent for a broadcast news network, and will begin that journey this fall when she attends classes at University of Missouri, seeking a bachelors degree in broadcast journalism. Upon reaching that degree, she said she wants to enter law school. Desire for the niche job, she said, came from her interest in a high school law class. “It was an accident, I didn’t mean to take it,” Kight said about enrolling in the class. “It was my favorite class. I was so interested in everything that was going on. I knew I wanted to do that. I wanted that to be my career.” This year’s pageant was a step up from previous years in terms of production, and Patty Price, pageant coordinator, said the fair board was a major contributor to that upgrade.

Corn farmers anticipate high yields, low profits By roBert Lyons Jersey County Journal This year’s corn yield may reach historic levels, but area farmers’ profits may not indicate such. Many experts are in agreement the corn production outlook throughout the region is very promising. Mike Roegge of the University of Illinois’ Pike County Extension office said, judging by appearance and conditions, the area is set to have record harvests. “I don’t think I’ve ever seen in 30 years corn look as good over such a broad geographic range as I have this year,” Roegge said. “Corn here has been pollinating here for the last two weeks under ideal conditions.” Common problems such as moisture deficiencies on hill sides, or flooding in lowlands, are having minimal impact this year. A couple inches of rain in the coming weeks, and this year’s corn yield is all but guaranteed to be tremendous, Roegge said. But, even with a bumper crop, farmers may be turning to their revenue insurance coverage. Dave Lewis, manager of TriCounty FS in Jerseyville, said everything about this growing season has been ideal, including the planting, emergence, field population and lack of stress on the plants. “Things have been pretty good from the production standpoint, and I think what’s happened in the markets is the traders know that, too,” Lewis said. The price of September corn, according to USDA Chicago Terminal, dropped for the tenth consecutive day to $3.75 just before noon Monday. It is the first time since the 2009/2010 marketing year corn has dropped below $4 per bushel, according to farmdoc.illinois.edu, a site maintained by U of I. For many farmers, breaking even

this year may be difficult when the price dips as low as it has, both Roegge and Lewis said. But, Roegge said coming off nearly five years of historic highs in the corn market, farmers should be in a position to withstand a dip in revenue. “This year’s going to be kind of a kick in the belt, and we’re not going to make as much money. But, there’s a lot of cash reserve that a lot of these guys have put in their billfolds,” Roegge said. “It’s not going to be the fallout of agriculture that you might think.” He said some farmers may choose to store their corn in hopes the prices will bounce back to the $6-$7 range. Though farmers may be looking at lower profits this year, Lewis said the most basic of economic principles are at play, starting with supply and demand. According the June crop report from the U.S. Department of Agriculture, more acres of corn were planted than initially anticipated, so the supply is higher. Lewis said when corn was selling for more than $7 per bushel, buyers adjusted their practices, which resulted in a decreased demand for corn. “When corn is $7 or $8 a bushel, people figure out how to get by with a little less of it,” he said. “There was a liquidation of beef herds and hog herds had problems. That’s why meat’s high at the grocery counter.” Lewis said buyers – such as feed and ethanol producers – had to absorb the blow of high corn prices over the past couple years, which impacted their bottom lines. So, the low price per bushel this year should help even the system out, he said. “It just takes a year or two for that stuff to all cycle through,” Lewis said. “With these lower prices, it may take a while, but it will help build demand back up. Demand got hammered when that price got so high.”

Medical marijuana farms on minds of local legislators By BoB Crossen Campbell Publications Local municipalities in the area have been proactive in their approach towards medical marijuana farms. The Barry City Council in Pike County approved an ordinance allowing the cultivation of medical cannabis in the city. Lance Kendrick, Barry city administrator, said the council held an open forum regarding such an ordinance where it received support from the public to allow for a marijuana farm. “If someone were to want to bring a site to Barry, our ordinance would allow it,” Kendrick said. “We’re just taking the preliminary measures that we need to. If someone were to give us a proposal, we would be ready.” Growing marijuana requires a lot of physical labor to plant, cultivate and harvest the plant before it is sold wholesale to dispensaries, which would be authorized to sell to medical marijuana patients. According to the Medical Cannabis Pilot Program Act signed into law by Gov. Pat Quinn Aug. 1, 2013, there will be only 22 cultivation centers in the state, one for each Illinois State Police district. Applications will be prepared and reviewed by the Illinois Department of Agriculture, and each facility will have a video surveillance stream sent directly to the ISP district office. Medical marijuana will be grown somewhere within each ISP district, and municipalities like Barry and Jersey County have taken actions to increase the chances of the farms establishing in their respective region of the district. The Jersey County Board approved to a letter of support for Scientific Growers Incorporated, a local company – run by the Shourd family – vying for a cultivation license, during a regular meeting July 7. Board Member Jeff Ferguson said the county board should encourage those seeking to bring new businesses to Jersey County because new jobs are needed for people in the area. “I think it’s a great thing that we support the Shourds in their effort or anybody that wants to bring jobs to the county,” Ferguson said during a regular meeting of the county board July 7. “[Medical marijuana is] going to be grown somewhere.” John Shourd, Scientific Growers Inc. representative, said he expects

the business to hire around 30 employees with the potential for the business to grow and require additional workers. Barry falls into District 20 of the Illinois State Police and if a company interested in cultivating marijuana in Barry were to apply for a cultivation license, the business would be fighting for one against applicants in Adams and Schuyler counties. Kendrick said the council wanted to keep its options open for the farm because it could benefit the area. “If for some reason one of these facilities was to locate here, I think it would be good for the community as far as creating some jobs,” Kendrick said. He said people came to the public hearings voicing their support for the ordinance, adding it’s adoption was smooth.

staff report Jersey County Journal Jersey County property tax bills were sent out Thursday, July 3. Treasurer Gib Ashlock said the average increase seen by most property owners will vary, depending on where they live. He said his bill, living in the city of Jerseyville, went up about 2.2 percent. The first of two payments is due Aug. 8, and the second is due Sept. 15. Ashlock said about one-third of property owners’ payments are tied into their mortgage payment, so if they would like to see a copy of their tax bill all they have to do is call his office. Payments can be made at any local bank, at the treasurer’s office or by mail. Mobile home tax bills are due Sept. 2.

“They had questions. There wasn’t anybody that was adamantly against it,” Kendrick said. “Some of the testimonies they’ve given out here recently of course on the medical side sway people a little bit. It’s not like it’s going to be a legalized thing where any shop can sell it.” The applications for cultivation licenses has not yet been finalized, but rather are tied up in the Joint Committee for Administrative Rules. According to the Illinois Department of Agriculture website, until the administrative rules regarding the application are approved by the committee, no applications may be made. The JCAR was expected to vote on the rules during a meeting July 15, which could be a major step toward opening the application process to potential cultivation companies like Scientific Growers Incorporated.

The Issue: Petition to put PTELL question on the ballot Our View: The people are speaking

Regional Editor: Robert Lyons

ssuming the 1,349 signatures meet the criteria – Jersey County resident, registered voter, etc. – the requirement will have certainly been met to get a question on the ballot.

The petition does not seek to place a question of adoption or rejection of the Property Tax Extension Limitation Law (PTELL) on the ballot. Instead, the voters’ approval of the item would serve as an advisory to the county board, then the question of putting the actual adoption of PTELL on a future ballot would be decided once again by the county board. Twice the county board has said “No” to putting PTELL up for a vote. The first time the board made the decision, it was said there was not enough information to proceed with a ballot question. Then the board assembled an advisory committee consisting of stakeholders and people who have worked in areas bound by PTELL. At that committee’s recommendation, the board voted against placing PTELL on the ballot once again. It’s easy for voters to say, “Yes, we should get to vote on this and every other issue.” But, if that’s the case, why have elected officials to lead the county? Those board members were elected to make decisions on complicated issues such as this. The ramifications of PTELL could be costly, long lasting and not have their intended effect. There are clearly proponents of PTELL, however, who are not about to let the issue rest, no matter how many times it is voted on or against. Our stance through this issue has been one opposed to the idea of PTELL. That’s not because we support unrestricted taxing of the citizens. Several Jersey County Journal employees are property owners who pay taxes, too. So, those increases hit close to home. Instead, our opposition has come from countless hours of our own research and the fact PTELL seems to be an outdated piece of legislation created to keep the property taxes under control in areas where equalized assessed values were growing at exponential rates year after year. We do not have that issue here. In Jersey County, our taxes continue to rise mostly because of the state of Illinois’ inability to give school districts – as it is the local school district that receives the largest percentage of the property tax bills, thus would be the most impacted by PTELL – what they are owed. School districts statewide, especially in rural areas, are having to turn to their tax base to maintain quality programs, or are just being forced to make cuts across the board. While we have stuck by our opinion, the idea of a petition circulating through the community to enact a change is what democracy is all about, and under no circumstance should that be ignored. If the rules have been followed, and it’s what the people want, then the leaders should listen.

Diet (soda) is the devil W

hat are you addicted to? Everyone has something, don’t they? There is a particular diet soda to which I am addicted. I am convinced that it is laced with crack or some other horribly addicting drug. Once, years ago, I was sitting and visiting with my mother and sister. We would always celebrate being together by having a nice cold glass of diet (soda) while we were catching up with one another. My stepfather was sitting at the table, as well. My mom looked over at him and caught him grinning and said “What?!” With a wry grin on his face he said, “Have you ever seen a skinny woman drinking diet (soda)?!”….then he cracked up laughing. We had to laugh because it certainly seemed to be an obvious truth! Eating healthy comes easy to some people. For others, it is a constant aggravation. I don’t mind

giving up candy, sweets or other things but my favorite snack in the whole world is a bowl of dill pickles, a bowl of chips and a tall fountain diet (soda). If I am trying to eat right and you put a bag of chips in front of me I turn into a big cry baby. Other friends of mine have issues with chocolate. Some turn weak in the knees at the sight of a pastry. What is it about all these bad foods and drinks that tastes so good? Sometimes when I am struggling through an exercise session or one of my never-ending walks and I see the scant few calories I have burned compared to the calories I consumed that day, I am filled with disbelief. It seems like in a fair world that you should be able to exercise off no less than 200 calories per minute of movement, don’t you think? That way a Snicker’s bar would be worked off in about 12 minutes. That seems

fair to me! When I don’t drink diet (soda) I don’t have joint pain. I’m not as hungry (supposedly the caffeine makes you hungry?). I sleep better. All that is true, but I still crave diet (soda). Crazy. Nothing is quite as good as that fizz on a bleary morning. When I look at the financial status of the company that creates this particular elixir, I do see that there is a good reason to stop drinking so much of it. Someone somewhere is making a GIANT PILE of money because poor saps like me don’t have any self-control. Maybe I should just picture the money still in my little coin cup as opposed to the bottomline of that company. Sheesh. Addiction costs a lot! n Rebecca Myers is a resident of Jerseyville and enjoys spending time with family, gardening, painting, photography and writing.

Who cares about poetry? Last Friday night I had a friendly debate with some friends about poetry. Are song lyrics and poetry the same? Each of us could recite the lyrics of songs phrased with poetic elegance. The Beatles’ hits served as examples of song poetry, and spirituals, like “How Great Thou Art.” When I put my iPod on “shuffle,” I am amazed by the poetry. I love John Hartford’s lyrics in his 1968 song, “Gentle On My Mind.” “It’s knowin’ that your door is always open And your path is free to walk That makes me tend to leave my sleeping bag Rolled up and stashed behind your couch. And it’s knowin’ I’m not shackled By forgotten words and bonds Or the ink stains that have dried upon some line That keeps you in the back roads By the rivers of my memory And keeps you ever gentle on my mind” Are song lyrics just a form of poetry? That question was posed in a radio interview to Billy Collins, a former poet laureate of the United States. Collins answered that he would consider song lyrics poetry only if they could stand alone without music. The concern of the poet is the particular arrangement of words that can penetrate deeply into a person’s experience. The idea that song lyrics are poetry is not new. Traditional ballads from the Scots, the Irish, the British and the Norse cultures show up in most anthologies of literature. Many of these have been modified to appear in the traditional music of

EDITORIAL

A bout letters to

the editor

Appalachia. It seems that just reading these texts, rather than experiencing them as songs, diminishes their power. Finding the music for ballads isn’t easy. The records don’t sell millions. They cling to the rare music collector and hard-core traditionalist. In our visit to Scotland, my wife and I learned of the influence of the 18th century poet Robert Burns. People sing his “Auld Lang Syne” at New Year’s Eve parties. Burns collected ballads from previous generations who used local dialects. In addition to poems, he wrote his own lyrics to older folk melodies. As a music person I’m more likely to encounter poetry in songs than any other way. Still, I know that poetry matters. Shakespeare’s sonnets are praised as the finest words ever written in English. I surely would be poorer without reading Langston Hughes, Walt Whitman, or Carbondale’s Rodney Jones. Begin to love poetry and you may want poems lodged in memory, always at hand. By memorizing revered poems, one finds that a great reward can be had for a small effort. Memorizing poetry was required in elementary schools in the ‘40s. The Irishman Liam Clancy became a famous actor and singer in the 1960s. In 2001 he described his education in a wonderful memoir, The Mountain of the Women. There were 36 students who entered school with Clancy in 1940. By his sixth year, there were only six students from ambitious families remaining in the class. The teacher, Brother Rossiter, was from a religious order called The Christian Brothers. Rossiter required his students to memorize four lines each day from Tennyson’s Ulysses and recite them in front of the class. If

they failed to do so, a leather strap appeared, promising “two of the best” on each hand for each four lines unlearned. Clancy, a young lover of poetry, had memorized Ulysses three years earlier. Still, due to his “teenage shyness,” he would not stand up in front of his peers to recite. When 15 days had passed, everyone but Clancy had recited the full poem. Fearful and trembling, Liam stood and forced himself to begin. “It little profits that an idle king…” In his own words he recalled, “The poem took me like God’s fishing line. I neither controlled nor cared. I just tasted blood; the ancestral gene kicked in. I was an actor, and I was loving it. I was alone in the poem.” He finished and looked up to find Brother Rossiter in tears. The Irish are a people of poetic words as well as songs, and my mother was no exception. The first words I heard read as a child were not Dr. Suess, but the tale of “The Highwayman” by Alfred Noyes. I remember hearing “Wynken, Blynken and Nod,” a classic children’s poem by Eugene Field. These powerful poems can move me still after 60 years. Maybe poetry isn’t for you. It might take a little time to find poems you like. If you have never tried reading any poetry, anything can happen. You might really like it. For those of you who already know you like poetry, here is a challenge. See if you can name five American poets, who are not songwriters, in 30 seconds without looking it up on your smartphone. n Wayne Schell is an attendance mentor for JCUSD 100 and a guest columnist for the Jersey County Journal.

Leader of community, education dies at 88

By BoB Crossen Calhoun News-Herald A former teacher and superintendent of the Calhoun Community Unit School District 40, American Legion adjutant and Knights of Columbus hall of fame member died July 13. James Albert Ringhausen, 88, worked in Calhoun schools from 1953 to 1990, and even after retiring continued to work with the schools, including his job as the treasurer of Calhoun CUSD 40. The Army veteran – serving 1945 to 1947 – retired from the financial position with the district in February this past year, citing his age as a reason for leaving the spot. In a Feb. 26 article in the Calhoun News-Herald, he said his greatest achievement was establishing Lewis and Clark Community College. His wife, Margaret Anne Ringhausen, said James liked keeping himself busy and highly valued hard work. His personal work ethic, she said, was something he passed on to those around him. “Work. Give 110 percent. He made his children have to work. He did and they’re better for it,” Margaret Anne Ringhausen said. “He instilled that with his grandchildren, that you stick with it. You don’t give up. You just keep going.” The two were inseparable throughout their 62-year marriage. James would bring Margaret Anne to all his events and meetings. Although it may have been tiresome at times, Margaret Anne said she enjoyed being as involved as he was in the community. James Ringhausen was the adjutant for the American Legion for many years, and Craig Johnson, American Legion member, said he was the backbone for the Calhoun post. James spent a lot of his time making sure members paid their dues and recruiting to fill spots for those who died, leaving empty slots to fill. Johnson said the Legion maintained around 100 percent membership while James Ringhausen held the adjutant position. “He and Margaret Anne were always there to do everything for us,” Johnson said as he struggled to find words explaining how important James Ringhausen was to him. “He will be sorely missed by the post and I loved him like a grandfather. He was a good friend and we’ll certainly miss him.” James Ringhausen was also the face of the Legion throughout the county, even handing out awards at Calhoun High School graduation each year on behalf of the post. Johnson said he represented not only the Legion well, but also the people of the county. “I don’t know what we’re going to do without him,” Johnson said. Margaret Anne said she met James through his sister with whom she had a class in high school. School for him was a high priority, not just in learning in his younger years, but also in helping the local schools with some of the smaller things. “He was very dedicated to that,” Margaret Anne said. “He went down to the school at St. Norbert’s to help them out, and just the latter time he would go up on Mondays half a day to help answer the phone and things like that.” He was on the board for the Illinois Education Association and was a member of the Illinois Retired Teachers Association, as well, she said. Former Unit 40 Superintendent and teacher Terry Strauch said James was his mentor. Strauch would not have pursued made the jump into the superintendent’s position without the guidance and prodding of James Ringhausen. “He was my mentor. He encouraged me to become a superintendent, so he definitely was my mentor and I just think the world of James A.,” Strauch said. “He helped a lot of beginning teachers find them a place to

live. He just did anything he could to get them to come to Calhoun and be a part of the community.” James Ringhausen was important to the schools, Strauch added, but more importantly, he fostered a better and greater Calhoun community. Strauch said nearly everybody in the county would be impacted by his passing. Like Strauch, Campbell Publications President Bruce Campbell said James Ringhausen was an important figure in his life and the lives of many others. “Mr. Ringhausen was my teacher and mentor, but more importantly my lifelong friend,” Campbell said. “He touched thousands of lives because of his decades of devotion to education and serving the people of Calhoun County.” And when James took time to himself – leaving behind the meetings for the day – Margaret Anne said he loved to mow the grass. “Mowing was his hobby,” Margaret Anne said. “He’d get on that John Deere and he’d go down to the car wash. That’s what he’d want to do when he got home. He wanted to mow.” James Ringhausen also drove the funeral coach for the Hanks Gress Funeral Home, and Phil Gress, funeral home director, said James Ringhausen will be missed at the business for all he did as well as for his friendship. “Jim was a dear friend and companion of mine, and will be dearly missed,” Gress said. “He drove the funeral coach and assisted me with funeral services at Hanks-Gress Funeral Home for over 12 years.” Although she couldn’t pinpoint her favorite memory with him – there had been many during the 62-year marriage – Margaret Anne said her most memorable instances with him were times spent with the whole family. The Thanksgiving and Christmas gatherings were among her favorite moments with the family, as were the trips with their grandchildren when on vacation. She said they always had a blast with some of the family’s youngest members. “We had so much fun with them,” Margaret Anne said. “We just have good family memories. We just had a wonderful 62 years of memories.” A full obituary for James is available on page B4. His visitation will be from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. July 17 at the Calhoun Elementary School gym in Hardin.

Huge tract of farmland on auction block July 30 By CArMen ensInGer Jersey County Journal One of the largest sales of land in Greene County is expected to take place on July 30. Approximately 1,342 acres of contiguous Illinois farmland will sell at auction with Murray Wise Associates managing the event. The Greene County land, 92 percent of which is tillable, is being offered in nine tracts with eight farmland tracts ranging from 64 acres to 302 acres. It is located along County Road 350 East (River Road), approximately six miles

north of Eldred. Also included in the auction is a five-acre building site with multiple grain and equipment storage facilities. “This is a major opportunity for either area farmers or for investors because there have been relatively few contiguous farms of this size and quality being sold at auction,” Kenny Schum, vice president of Murray Wise Associates, said. The auction will be structured so that bidders may bid on any combination of tracts or on the property as an entirety. “Because the land is contiguous, I

wouldn’t be surprised to see one buyer for all of this property, or we could have as many as nine different buyers,” Schum said. “I believe this size property will attract the interest of investors from outside the area, but it’s equally attractive to local operators who may wish to have one or two of these tracts to farm with their existing equipment.” The auction will be held at the Knights of Columbus Hall in Carrollton and will begin at 1 p.m. on July 30.

IFB hosting Master Showmanship Contest The Illinois Farm Bureau and RFD Radio Network will host the Illinois Master Showmanship Contest Friday, Aug. 8, beginning at 8 p.m. in the Junior Livestock Barn on the Illinois State Fairgrounds. The Master Showmanship Contest recognizes 4-H youth who have excelled at showing animals at their county fair. The members will be judged on their handling of each of three species of animals: beef, sheep and swine. They are also quizzed by judges on their knowledge of animal husbandry and livestock production. Over $8,000 worth of prizes donated by sponsors will be given away this year. A winner from each species will receive $100 and various prizes. Three top winners will receive $500, $300 or $200, a new showbox, director’s chairs and various prizes. In addition, all participants will receive a T-shirt and prize for their hard work.

Teens are defined as just finishing grade 6 through grade 12. Teens may sell anything they want including bake sale items. They are responsible for pricing, setting up, making change, and taking down their table(s). The library has some tables and use will be based on first-come, first-served basis. The deadline to reserve a space is Thursday, July 17 at 9 p.m. Parents and other adults may assist their teens but the teen must be present for the entire time. Teens must register in person at the Library. Those who are taking part in summer reading club will not pay for a space. The amount of space each teen will receive (under the tent) will depend on how many teens take part.

Money they make could be used to help pay their $15 for the horseback riding field trip at Pere Marquette State Park on Monday, July 28. Teens who are not part of summer reading club will be charged $10 for space with that money going to the fieldtrip. Library staff, Chris Maness, and library volunteer, Wanda Ridenbark, are also having a tent sale booth. Money made at this booth will help defray the cost of the teen horseback riding field trip. If anyone in the community has items they would like to donate for this cause, your donation will be greatly appreciated. Drop off items for them during library hours. Yard sale enthusiasts, please mark your calendars and help our teens with their field trip and to earn some summer cash. Visit the library website, jerseyvillelibrary.org, to learn about more summer fun for all ages.

We will be closing July 31, 2014 due to relocation. We apologize for any inconvenience. More information will be available in the coming month.

Going on dates is a great way for older married couples to create excitement and romance.

Keeping marriage going strong into your golden years The trend of long-married couples calling it quits has been growing. However, there are some steps couples can take to keep their relationships going strong. According to the AARP, divorces among people over the age of 50 have doubled since 1990. According to Susan Brown, codirector of the National Center for Family & Marriage Research at Bowling Green State University, one out of three Boomers will face their golden years unmarried. There are a number of reasons why divorce rates have skyrocketed among the over-50 set. Understanding just why these divorces are taking place and taking proactive steps to alleviate some of the divorce triggers can be a recipe for a happy marriage that continues throughout a couple's golden years. n Increase accountability. Ours is a transient society where families no longer bat an eyelash over moving great distances away from other family members. As a result, Boomers may feel like they are not connected to children or grandchildren. With this in mind, they may feel less attached to their marriage or their responsibilities or believe that no one will get hurt by a divorce. Keeping families close and remaining in frequent contact

can increase accountability and reduce the propensity for divorce. n Get things out in the open. A major reason for a failed marriage is years of avoiding significant issues rather than addressing problems. Couples should make time to talk to each other about anything that might be bothering them rather than letting too many things slide. If these conversations turn into shouting matches, there is always the option of bringing in a third party to serve as a mediator. n Spend time apart. After retirement, couples may find themselves spending hours upon hours in each other's company. While togetherness can be beneficial, too much time spent together may lead to feelings of suffocation and the perception that each member of the relationship is no longer his or her own person. Individuals can remedy this by doing more things on their own, whether spending time apart with friends or engaging in hobby time without your spouse. After all, absence makes the heart grow fonder. Brief periods of separation can make the time married couples do spend together feel more meaningful. n Recommit to your vows. After 30 or more years, the vows you shared on your wedding may be a distant memory. Some people

may have different views on the permanence of vows, putting personal happiness ahead of the happiness of the couple. Take stock of what you promised one another on your wedding day and stick to those words. n Become a comedian. Laughter has a way of dissolving a tenuous situation. Focus energy on laughing at mistakes instead of pointing blame. Couples can make fun of themselves and resolve to not take things too seriously. n Act like you're dating. Couples often become complacent after many years of marriage. They may forget about the little details that made the relationship fun in the early years. The personal notes and cards and other surprises may fall by the wayside after being together for some time. Make an effort to go on dates, write love notes and think of what was appreciated by your partners when you were in the dating stage. n Practice selflessness. Sometimes all that is needed to rekindle a relationship is a selfless act that shows how much you care for your partner. Couples who are on the fence with regard to divorce can make an effort to improve the relationship rather than simply see divorce as the best option.

Grand American: The Amateur Trapshooting Association’s 115th Grand American World Trapshooting

Author signing children’s book in Jerseyville Tolen Oliver, grandson of Mary Loyet, a Carrollton resident, has written and illustrated a children’s book entitled “A Good Day for Slow Loris.” Tolen wrote the story and created hand painted watercolors that illustrate every page of the book for an assignment while he was a student at Kirkwood High School in Kirkwood, Mo. He received exemplary grades on all aspects of the book and it was a favorite among the kindergarten classes where he was a guest reader. Tolen describes his book by saying, “My book, ‘A Good Day for Slow Loris,’ is a simple children’s book aimed at kids ages 0-6. It is about a Slow Loris and his day in the jungle as he goes to visit his friend, Monkey. While on his way, Slow Loris falls into the river below. Not being a good swimmer, Slow Loris latches onto a log and floats down the river. What was a peaceful float trip takes a wrong turn when the river comes to a waterfall. Every page is completely illustrated with my own original watercolors.” Tolen is currently a student at the University of Missouri-Columbia in the School of Journalism. He will be in Jerseyville Saturday, July 26 at Lula Bells (519 S. State Street) from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. for a book signing. “A Good Day for Slow Loris” is available for purchase at Lula Bells and other select stores in Illinois and Missouri, by contacting him at tolen94@yahoo.com or on Facebook. The book is $10 plus tax and postage.

SPORTS Post 492 wins another District 20 title C10

SAM ELLioTT Jersey County Journal The Jerseyville American Legion Post 492 baseball team is the District 20 champion for the fourth time in as many summer seasons following a two-game sweep during its best-of-three district championship series with Calhoun Post 636. Jerseyville beat Calhoun 15-5 Sunday in the series opener and clinched the title with by winning a 12-2 decision Monday at the Don Snyders Sports Complex. "Our guys have been hitting the ball well. That's a good omen," head coach Darren Perdun said. "At the beginning of the summer we struggled to score runs, but we’ve come around lately and we’re still playing good defense and we’re still pitching. As long as you do that, you don’t have to score a lot." Christian Kimble paced the Post 492 offense Sunday, swinging for three triples and totaling six runs batted in. He added a pair of RBIs in Monday's win while Jake Varble finished with four RBIs including a two-run, inside-the-park home run to deep left field in the fourth inning. Drake Kanallakan and Michael Sheldon each gave Jerseyville complete-game pitching performances from the mound. "[Sheldon]'s kind of crafty,"

SAM ELLioTT Jersey County Journal Kevin Strebel is no stranger to basketball at Jersey Community High School, but he's taken on a new title entering the upcoming 2014-15 season: head coach. Strebel is the new man in charge of the Lady Panthers program at JCHS after serving as an assistant coach at the school for nearly two decades. He spent the past six seasons as an assistant under boys head coach Stote Reeder and was

an assistant coach with the JCHS girls program for 11 years prior. He had one practice with his new team after being officially hired in late June, but the bulk of his work with the Lady Panthers began at a summer shootout Friday at Lindenwood University in Belleville and will continue with the program's youth and high school camps, which began Monday at JCHS. "It would be nice to have had a full summer, but this is a big three-week stretch for us," Strebel

said. "There have been teams out there working with their coaches all summer and we’re just getting started. The attitude’s been great and they’ve picked up the new offense." Strebel is the program's third head coach in as many seasons after Stephanie Harris took a teaching job at Triad following her only year with the Lady Panthers. Jersey ended last season on a seven-game losing streak to finish the 2013-14 campaign 10-16 overall. The team returns its entire

lineup form last season save for lone senior Macy Thurston. "We have a lot of people that have played a lot of basketball at the varsity level," Strebel said. "We’re in that odd place of being kind of a young team, having only one senior, but also being kind of experienced. I’m thrilled about that." The Lady Panthers' youth and high school basketball summer camps continue through Tuesday at JCHS. selliott@campbellpublications.net

Turning over a unit when a tenant moves out should take no more than a week.

Simple ways to maximize profits on your investment property Those who have already invested in real estate know how difficult it can be to maintain a property much less improve it, which should be high on an investor's priority list. But improving a property does not have to involve a complete overhaul or any other dramatic changes. In fact, there are several simple ways investors can improve their real estate investments and improve their chances of turning a large profit when they decide to sell a property. n Hire a property management firm. Some real estate investors, especially those new to the business who just purchased an investment and have little money to spare, shy away from hiring a property management firm. But such a company is worth the expense for investors with little time or knowhow with regard to fixing a home. A property management firm will ensure the building is kept in shape, and depending on your agreement with the company, may even take care of cleaning vacant apartments, readying them for showing and renting them to new tenants. Perhaps the biggest advantage to working with an effective property management firm is the likelihood that they will turn over the vacant apartment quickly, ensuring you aren't losing money when tenants move out. n Carefully vet prospective tenants. One of the easiest ways a property can fall into disrepair is to allow bad tenants to move into the building. It's understandable that investors want to get a building occupied as quickly as

possible so they can use tenants' rents to pay for the property. But bad tenants can cause damage to the property, and their behavior might encourage reliable fellow tenants to find a new living situation. When looking to fill a vacancy, establish a minimum income requirement for prospective tenants and ask applicants to produce proof of income and references from past landlords. This increases the chances you will find a respectful tenant who's fully capable of paying their rent on time. n Upgrade appliances. Renters are just as likely to fall in love with curb appeal as buyers are. While there may not be a yard to entice renters if you purchased an apartment complex, curb appeal can apply to an apartment's interior. One of the more notable eye-catchers to prospective renters is updated appliances, especially since appliances may be the only items actually in the apartment when it is shown. Stainless steel appliances provide an instant upgrade over older appliances that may appear dated and are certain to make a strong first impression on prospective renters, many of whom would be willing to pay more in rent for a unit with update appliances. In addition, renters may feel that landlords who took the time and spent the money to upgrade appliances are likely to make a greater effort maintaining the property. Investors can maximize their returns on investment properties in a variety of ways, many of which don't require significant effort.

ISP announce roadside Police apprehend Safety Check results alleged sex offender Staff rePort Jersey County Journal A 54-year-old Jerseyville man is in custody in Jersey County Jail for allegedly sexually assaulting a 4-yearold girl. Joseph W. Fogle was arrested Friday in Springfield, according to Jersey County Sheriff Mark Kallal. Fogle is being held on $500,000 bond, and is facing a Class X felony charge of predatory sexual assault of a child. The abuse is alleged to have began as early as March and continued into June. In 2003, Fogle was found guilty of Criminal Sexual Assault. He received two years probation for that crime. Earlier this year, in February, Fogle faced felony charges for allegedly being a sex offender present at a public park. That case has a jury trial set for Oct. 7.

Advisory: Illinois Conservation Police ask Starved rock visitors to observe trail closure signs Illinois Conservation Police Officers issued 23 citations to hikers violating restricted areas of Starved Rock State Park over the Fourth of July weekend. Some areas of the park remain closed due to dangerous conditions caused by storms that hit the area a week ago. Hanging limbs and damaged trees could still fall and cause injury. Crews are working as fast as possible to clear downed trees and other debris. Posts and signs have been installed to alert hikers to closed trails. “Help our site staff and Conservation Police Officers keep hikers and other park visitors safe by observing signs and other warnings,” said Rafael Gutierrez, Chief of the Illinois Department of Natural Resources Conservation Police. “Officers will enforce closures and issue citations to people entering areas that are off-limits. Give our cleanup crews time to do their jobs.” Strong straight-line winds swept across northern Illinois on July 1, causing widespread damage. The main trail system within the park remains closed. The Visitor Center and Lodge are open during normal business hours. The trail to Starved Rock remains open as do the Illinois, Ottawa and Kaskaskia Canyon trails at the east end of the park. Trails at nearby Matthiessen State Park are open. Starved Rock is the state’s most visited state park with about two million visits annually.
