Another police impersonator reported in county By ROBERT LYONS Jersey County Journal Area law enforcement is on the lookout once again for police impersonators. On Friday, July 12, the Jersey County Sheriff’s Department received a call from a woman who was complaining deputies had harassed her son. A 16-year-old male was stopped by what seemed to be a police car Thursday,

July 11, while the boy was on his way home from the Jersey County Fair, around 9:30 p.m. But, Sheriff Mark Kallal soon found none of his deputies had been in the area of the Pump Station and Otterville roads intersection when the incident occurred. The man who approached the teen said the boy’s tail lights were not working. But, when he returned home and found his tail lights were functioning properly, a red flag went up.

“It definitely concerns us because somebody could end up getting hurt out of it,” Kallal said. “There are four area counties that have been looking for individuals that are doing this. It’s not good at all.” The alleged impersonator is said to be caucasian, around 5-feet-9 or 5-feet-10, about 160 pounds, in his late-30s and no facial hair. At first, Kallal said he assumed a Grafton officer had made the stop, since the sub-

ject was reportedly wearing black – which Grafton officers regularly wear. But, Kallal said he conferred with Grafton’s police chief and found none of their officers were in the area, either. The 16-year-old was interviewed by a legitimate sheriff’s deputy and said the alleged fake officer did not have a name tag, badge or any patches on his uniform. “My assumption is, yeah, it was someone impersonating an officer,” Kallal said.

The car is said to be a white newer model Chevrolet Impala, or similar model, with red and blue lights in the dash and grill. The car was also lacking a spotlight, typically found on police vehicles. Kallal said the red lights differentiate this incident from reports earlier in the year, where the suspected impersonator had just blue lights. The sheriff said similar incidents have been reported recently in nearby counties, but a suspect

has not been pinpointed. He said if something just doesn’t feel right when being stopped by an officer, taking mental note of every aspect of the situation could prove helpful. He also noted police vehicles almost always have license plates that differ from standard-issue Illinois plates. “Try to become the best witness you can,” Kallal said. Kallal asks anyone with a similar experience to contact his office at (618) 498-6881.

Dredging finally began at the confluence of the Illinois and Mississippi Rivers to prepare for the opening of a ferry across the river to Missouri. The Grafton City Council has been working with an engineer to dredge the river since the start of the year, and Mayor Tom Thompson hoped to have the ferry running by May. However, flooding in April delayed the work until water levels calmed.

By BOB CROSSEN Jersey County Journal After three years without service, the Grafton Ferry will open this Friday, offering travelers an express route to Grafton or across the river into the St. Louis area.

The Calhoun Ferry Company, which also runs a ferry to and from Golden Eagle and Missouri, entered into a contract with the city of Grafton to operate a ferry for six months out of the year, Denise Knight, Calhoun Ferry Company secretary, said.

“We’re looking forward to operating,” Knight said. “I’m hoping we’ll have a real good year there. It’s a booming town.” The ferry will be open Monday through Friday from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. and from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. Saturday and

Sunday. Knight said a oneway trip is $8 and a roundtrip is $15 for cars. The cost will increase for larger vehicles. The Calhoun Ferry Company will supply the ferry and operate it from May 1 to Oct. 31, weather permitting. Prior to the contract with

Calhoun Ferry Company, the Grafton Ferry was operated by a different private company. The city of Grafton owns the landings for the ferry, she added. Opening the ferry was delayed for months due to heavy rainfall and flooding.

Early this year, Grafton Mayor Tom Thompson announced the ferry would open in the spring, aiming for a grand opening in early May. Those plans were foiled as the area was constantly doused with rain, leading to (See, GRAFTON FERRY, A2)

City cuts $4 million from spending Ray pleads guilty in guns, tax case By ROBERT LYONS Jersey County Journal The city of Jerseyville cut more than $4 million from its appropriations for the coming fiscal year. The city is forecasting expenditures of $21,984,968, down from last year’s $26,370,000. Finance commissioner Yvonne Hartmann said the biggest decrease is in the sewer fund, as the new plant is nearing completion. She said the largest increase was in the fire pension fund which went up about $12,000. “I met with all the department heads and tried to give them everything they needed, plus a wish list if the city were to get a huge increase in rev-

enue,” Hartmann said. Mayor Richard Perdun said the appropriations intentionally overestimate expenditures, because that is all of the money it can legally be spent. “If you didn’t have it at a certain height, if an emergency or something would come up, you wouldn’t be allowed to spend the money,” Perdun said. The amount of money the city can spend is still dependent on its revenue stream, from taxes and other funding sources. Taping off areas along State Street to reserve spots for the Fair Parade is not allowed, and one resident was at Tuesday’s city council meeting to find out why. Pam Sanford said Jerseyville police officers asked her to

remove orange tape cordoning off the entire area between the sidewalk and street in front of her home. In turn, she laid blankets down over the area to reserve the space. “What’s it matter how we’re saving it?,” Sanford asked. The mayor said it is an issue of right-of-way and tradition. He also said both he and the police department received several complaints about the tape. “From the sidewalk on, that’s the only portion they’re telling you not to block off,” Perdun said. “If you let everybody in town block off from the sidewalk to the street, no one else would have a place to go to unless they were invited to come to your yard.” (See, CITY, A2)

Nearing his 84th birthday, Leland Welch drained a shot July 2 that eludes most golfers forever.

Schuenke said creating policy has been in discussions, noting program directors have been asked about potential provisions of that policy. (See, SCHOOL BOARD, A2) C

accomplishment came just one day before having a surgery on his right forearm. “I did it on Tuesday night and had my arm operated on Wednesday morning,” Welch said. “That’s kind of unusual.” Though Welch’s shot of a lifetime came early in his weekly nine-hole game, he said his luck did not carry over to the next seven holes. “It wasn’t good in front and it wasn’t good behind,” he said. “But, it was good in the middle.” Welch said he wasn’t overjoyed with the golden shot nor disappointed with the rest of the game. He said he just goes with the flow. “I just enjoy playing,” Welch said. “We just have a good time.” Welch and his wife, Helen, own operate Welch’s Jewelry in Jerseyville.

DARE show features bite-out-of-crime Gun club hosting Shoot for the Cure event exhibition, more vehicle categories By ROBERT LYONS Jersey County Journal

By ROBERT LYONS Jersey County Journal This year’s DARE car show will give the community a chance to see how officers are literally taking a bite out of crime. Back for its third year, the Jerseyville Police Department’s annual function has continued to expand its offerings with more vehicle categories, food and entertainment, including a K-9 show. DARE officer Sgt. Scott Woelfel said the Sunday, Aug. 4 event is shaping up to a be an all-around family day of fun. The show is held at Jersey Community High School. “I just wanted to promote a more community-oriented atmosphere, and show them DARE is not just about drug abuse and resistance strategies,” Woelfel said. “We want people to get to come out and spend time with local law enforcement and get to know some of the guys and see what we do outside of our day-to-

day routine.” This year, organizers have expanded to 16 vehicle categories, including divisions for trucks and motorcycles. There will also be a carseat safety checkpoint, where an officer will help parents ensure child restraints have been installed properly. But, aside from the shine of the chrome and custom paint jobs, likely to be one of the biggest draws is the dog show, where police K-9s will put their abilities on display. Woelfel said there will even be a biting demonstration. “Officer (Danny) Green and his group of K-9 buddies that he works with from around the TriCounty area are going to put on a bite show and do some drug searching,” Woelfel said, noting the other K-9 units are from Litchfield and Greene County. “We were trying to drum up ways to get the community more involved in supporting the DARE program and getting a higher turnout.”

Paving

The event is free for spectators, who will also serve as the judges of the car show. Owners putting their vehicle on display will pay a registration fee, which goes to support the DARE program. Woelfel said the Jersey County Street Machine Association is the driving force behind the show, and helped secure $1,000 for the program during last year’s event. “They’ve really worked to bring this event to Jerseyville and make it one of the better car shows in the area. All of my thanks and gratitude goes to them,” Woelfel said, adding the event mutually benefits DARE and JCSMA. “It was an opportunity for us to promote not only the DARE program, but Jerseyville and Jersey County.” The JCHS boys soccer team will have a food tent. Woelfel said the event is also open to vendors. For more information on the show, becoming a sponsor or a vendor, contact JCSMA president Jeff Dixon at (618) 407-6270.

the way

This weekend area shooters will be gunning for a good cause. The second annual Shoot for a Cure will be held Saturday at the Brittany Shooting Park in Bunker Hill, with proceeds from the event benefiting local breast cancer programs. “We were able to donate a lot to Alton Memorial Hospital last year,” Brittany Youth Shooting Group coach John Yates said. “We’ve got kids in high school, all the way down to third grade. They just got out there and got behind the cause, recruited a bunch of people and that’s why we were able to donate

back to the community.” Though the 40-member club is based out of Bunker Hill, Yates said several members are from the Jerseyville and Otterville areas. The club recently competed in the National Scholastic Clay Target Program tournament, where the intermediate/advanced team finished first in the U.S. and the rookie team placed fourth. Though Saturday’s event is not a competition, participants and spectators will be in the company of champions. “They like the competition because we do win quite a bit, but we’ve got a laid back attitude because we just want everybody to have fun,” Yates said. “I think it’s the camaraderie and the good cause

(Continued from A1) historic flood levels in April and May. Because the water was so high, the river could not be dredged, a prerequisite to opening the ferry. Dredging of the river was paid entirely through grant funds. “The flooding was the biggest issue why they didn’t dredge earlier this year,” Knight said. The flooding took its toll on local businesses in the town, Thompson said, noting he hopes the ferry will bring more visitors to help boost the economy in the city. At recent city council meetings, Thompson has advocated for ways to increase tourism traffic to generate more sales tax revenue for the city. The increased business would benefit residents of Grafton, as well. “The flood times were devastating,” Thompson said. “You put our businesses that depend

Ray admitted he purchased and used three to five ounces of cocaine every two to three weeks prior to his home being raided. “We will zealously pursue gun crimes wherever they occur. This case was unique because it is rare to see complicated white-collar tax crime alongside gun and drug offenses,” Wigginton said. “This case is a model for how state and federal agencies should partner to successfully combat diverse criminal activity.” Four guns forfeited by Ray in a separate civil suit, listed by make, model and serial number, were connected to the case against Jones, of Jerseyville, who was sentenced Friday, July 12, for selling a firearm to a cocaine user. Jones was the operator of the Discount House, a licensed gun retailer, at the time of the transactions. In a statement filed in July 2012 in the civil forfeiture cases, prepared by a Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (BATFE) agent, Ray admitted he was a cocaine user and his wife used her firearm owner identification (FOID) card to purchase approximately 40 to 45 firearms and deliver them to David Ray. Ray did not possess an Illinois driver’s license and therefore had not obtained his own FOID card. Further, the documents in the forfeiture case reveal Jones admitted to completing illegal firearms transactions involving Ray. The four guns listed by serial number in the Jones criminal case and Ray’s civil case were: one Colt Python revolver, one Colt Police Positive revolver, one Colt Government pistol and one Winchester 63 rifle. Sentencing for Ray has been set for Nov. 8. He faces up to five years in prison and/or a $100,000 fine for tax evasion and up to 10 years and/ or a $250,000 fine for possession of a firearm by a user of a controlled substance. U.S. Sentencing Guidelines will be applied and considered during sentencing. Agents from the Internal Revenue Service, Jersey County Sheriff’s Department, BATFE, Drug Enforcement Administration and the Federal Bureau of Investigation investigated the case.

So that’s why we’re pushing to get the ferry opening and promoting tourism.” During a city council meeting in late May, the board approved a $16,000 expense for prime time advertising with Channel 2 KTVI to promote local businesses and events in the Grafton area. Opening of the ferry comes just in time for the towboat festival this weekend when a large number of tourists are expected to visit the riverside town. Thompson said the annual Bikers for Babies event will also travel through the city during the weekend with more than 500 participating motorcycles. The grand opening for the ferry is scheduled for July 26 with a ribbon cutting ceremony at 11 a.m.

An RCS Construction street crew paves the second half of East Fairgrounds Avenue from the train tracks to Sumner Street Thursday morning with a specialized machine. The first half was completed a week prior. Construction crews will continue to touch up the freshly paevd road while a sidewalk is installed along with driveways and connections to side roads. Seeding will be the last part of the process. RCS Construction manager David Willis said installation of the storm sewer system from Sumner Street to Cemetery Road begins next week, and the section from the train tracks to Sumner Street will be open shortly thereafter. Timelines for the project will change depending on the weather.

School board

(Continued from A1) Board vice president Julie Pohlman had reservations about allowing the overnight trip because the students would travel by plane to California. She said liability issues involved in flying across the country are worrisome. Bill Yamnitz said trips like these are important for building character because the students raise all the money themselves to go on the trips. Remembering walking door-to-door as a young man for fundraising, he said saving for a Boy Scout trip to New Mexico gave him great satisfaction and helped build his work ethic. “I was the only one in my town that went because I worked and earned money going door-to-door,” Yamnitz said. “I think this is wonderful, to earn their own way.” He said his daughter had a similar experience earning money for two trips to New York with the theater program at JCHS. Ruth Eschbach said treating one program different from the others when it comes to overnight trips is a problem for her. Because the band and theater programs were allowed to travel out of state, disallowing another group felt like discrimination, she said. Pohlman said the dance team were not as established as the other programs at the time. “At that time, band and drama had been 20 years rolling, and this would have been the first time for

this group,” Pohlman said, noting this year’s trip request had little information compared to the previous one. Board member Sherry Droste said some students would never have the chance to leave the state if it weren’t for opportunities through school-run programs. Seeing other parts of the country is part of growing up, Yamnitz added, noting the liability for flying would not be as great because it is a statistically safer mode of travel than by automobile. Yamnitz made a motion to approve the trip and was seconded by board member Amanda Vaughn. All members of the board voted Yes except Pohlman. Additionally, the board approved the cost of installing vinyl tile over asbestos tiles at Illini Middle School which was estimated at $3,000. Ken Schell, district administrator, said the cost of removing the asbestos tiles was far greater than installing the vinyl ones. He said the building maintenance department for the district will keep an eye on the wear and tear of the tile – installed without glue – and if it works well, will place them in other classrooms. He said the same process could potentially be used at West Elementary where the cost to remove the asbestos tile is estimated at $280,000 alone due to procedures mandated by law. Installing new tile would be an additional cost to the district.

In other business, the board: n Approved the resignation of Mary Abbott, Illini teacher, effective immediately. n Approved a revision to Ken Schell’s retirement date which is now Jan. 1, 2014. n Approved to employ Bob Siemer as assistant eighth grade volleyball coach; Ashley Sievers as Illini Career Coach and Brian Madson, volunteer JCHS football coach, for the 2013-2014 school year. n Employ Kathy Breden as a substitute bus rider for the 20132014 school year. n Accepted a donation of $800 from the Kiwanis Club to offset the cost of technology fees for struggling families. The money will be issued by building administrators on a case-by-case basis. n Approved a transfer of $2 million from the working cash fund to the education fund and $200 from the working cash fund to the tort fund. n Approved a financial assurance resolution to retain $20,000 in the event something happens with the district’s underground storage tank. Business and finance director Tammy Steckel said the district is investigating an insurance option for the tank rather than retaining money to cover an emergency cost. n Approved to seal the parking lots at Grafton Elementary, JCHS and the unit office.

it’s supporting. Last year, all I heard was everybody had a good time and enjoyed shooting with the kids. It went great and everyone had a lot of fun.” The event will also feature food, a gun raffle and a silent auction. Yates said Beretta is one of the event’s sponsors and donated many items for the auction. Last year’s fundraiser featured more than 120 participants, and Yates said there are already more signed up for this year’s. Registration had been scheduled to close July 12, but participants will be allowed to register the day of the event. “If some people trickle in, we can handle that,” Yates said.

(Continued from A1) The area between the city’s sidewalk and State Street is controlled by the state, although property owners are responsible for maintenance. City attorney George Wittman said the property owners are not liable if someone were to be injured on that space during the parade. The council also heard from residents David and Beth Dalton regarding several issues in their neighborhood. David Dalton said a nearby resident is burning trash at night, which makes it difficult to locate the source. “It smells pretty bad when they do it,” he said. “Nothing against the police, because last time I called they were down there almost immediately.” David Dalton also said grass clippings in the street are becoming a nuisance, as he is often the one who is cleaning them up. Councilman Andy Macias said

the clippings could also cause the storm sewers to clog and backup. Macias said the city would look into raising awareness for both issues. Beth Dalton said she is the last house on a dead end street and consistently has people turning around in her driveway, day and night. She said there is no sign alerting drivers the street will end, and there has even been a crash. Macias said a sign had been present and asked street department superintendent Jeff Kadell to put up a new one. In other action, the council: n Approved the minutes of the previous meeting. n Approved the list of bills. n Approved the zoning board’s recommendation to rezone 208 N. Lafayette St. from R-2 to B-1. n Heard from building/special project administrator Jeff Soer that the fifth and final tornado siren has been installed and is in operation.

Digital conversion on the horizon By BOB CROSSEN Jersey County Journal School may be out for the summer, but some district buildings are still feeling the hustle and bustle of life while volunteers prep the district for its digital conversion for the coming school year. Keith Norman, director of technology for JCUSD No. 100, said student volunteers as well as some student athletes have helped unbox more than 2,000 machines. He said the machines were also imaged using the district’s data center which took a total of eight days to complete. The laptops did not come in the expected eco-friendly packaging, which extended the amount of time devoted to unboxing each device. The computers will be rolled out during the first two weeks of school while administration introduces the student body to the new policies and rules as a result of the digital conversion. Regarding fees to pay for the laptops, board member Stan Kary questioned how a family with five children would afford the cost, and what would happen in the event that those costs can not be met. Norman said payment schedules and procedures to aid struggling families are in place. Some funds will be made available to those families much like the money donated from the Kiwanis Club in Jerseyville – an $800 donation to help families pay the fee. He said the money will be issued on a case-by-case basis by building adminis-

trators who know the situation of a family better than district-level administrators. Norman said the district hopes to have invoices in the hands of parents by the end of the month, assuming things go smoothly. Bill Yamnitz, school board member, questioned what the students would be taught and how they would be taught during the transition period. Cory Breden, Illini Middle School principal, said many teachers in his building have done away with teaching from textbooks during the past three to four years because they are too old. Lessons are taught using other materials, and during the transition to the digital framework, he said those methods will still be used. He said the teachers also perform assessments to see how much knowledge a student gained or lost during the summer months. Jersey Community High School principal Lisa Schuenke said the first two weeks will have much of the same general information and expectations issued to the students as was done prior to the digital conversion. “We’re doing all our school pictures, our school IDs, our class meetings,” Schuenke said. “We talk about where the handbook is now. What our expectations are, and school graduation requirements.” Each device was imaged, and inventory of all computers was also taken. Norman said all backpacks and laptops

will have a specified number tied to them in case a student loses either one. A building administrator will have access to a database which ties the number to individual students. Norman said the district cannot possibly account for all problems it will encounter as a result of the digital conversion, and Schuenke said district administrators are prepared to deal with many problems they have never encountered. “We’ve already set the stage for our teachers to expect the unexpected in the beginning,” Schuenke said. “We don’t know what we don’t know. It’s not if, it’s fixing issues as they come.” Meru Professional Services will visit the district at the end of the month and in early August to perform tests on the network to assure that it can handle the load of all the computers that will connect to it when students finally have their devices, Norman said. Additionally, he said the high school improved its wide area network from 2.5 megabits per second (mbps) to 10 gigabits per second (gbps), meaning the the buildings in the district can connect to JCHS at much faster speeds. Connections between the Grafton, Illini and East and West schools will be one gbps. For reference, Norman said one gigabit of data is approximately 1,000 megabits of data. The Internet connection to outside servers will be 250 mbps, he added.

Dinky returns to Grafton in August, seeks restoration volunteers By BOB CROSSEN Jersey County Journal After a lengthy search, an auction and some rehabilitation, a replica of the Dinky will finally return to Grafton in August where restoration will continue before it becomes a monument for visitors. During its regular meeting July 23, the Grafton City Council heard a presentation from former city attorney Ben Allen, who has been working for years to find a way to bring the Dinky back to Grafton. The original can be found at the Museum of Transportation in St. Louis. Members of the community attempted to have the Dinky brought to Grafton occasionally for show. The museum declined to bring one of its most popular attractions to the riverside town. The Dinky was a rail bus that ran from Grafton to Godfrey along what is now the Mississippi River Road. Rather than a normal rail car, the original Dinky was a repurposed bus made by the White Motor Company. It was fitted with an undercarriage which allowed it to travel on rails as well as a cowcatcher, the frame on the front of a locomotive, giving the bus a distinct look and character. Allen said the company that made the buses went out of business, but many were made to be used as tour buses at Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming. Those buses had an open canvas for the roof so visitors to the national park could view trees, waterfalls and the mountain ranges. Allen said it was the main mode of transportation to the more populated city of Alton at the time, and the Dinky made stops in Elsah and Chautauqua to transport students of

Principia College and area residents. “Historically, it ran from Alton where they had their riverfront train station,” Allen said, noting the rail car also delivered mail to the riverside towns at the time. “The Principia students would arrive at Lambert Airport, bused over to the Alton Dinky and then all the Principia students would ride up to Elsah and go to school, back and forth. It was a major transportation situation.” He said the Dinky is an important part of Grafton’s history, adding he would like to see one stationed in the city as a monument. In searching for a bus like that used for the Dinky, Allen said he found a man, Tracy Kroon, in Montana who restored Yellowstone National Park tour buses. He restores other old vehicles as well, he added. Allen said he spoke with the man about finding the bus, and after a few months, one came up for auction in California. The city of Grafton won the bid at $18,000 – the cost was approved by the council – and the bus was brought back to the area. In October last year, the council approved $8,000 from the tax increment financing fund to rehabilitate parts of the Dinky, including the front grille and hood. Allen said he has been unable to find a volunteer to return the bus to Grafton where it can be rehabilitated until recently. Dan Bechtold has offered to bring the Dinky back to Grafton. The real work will begin when the vehicle returns to the town situated at the confluence of the Mississippi and Illinois rivers where Allen said a timeline for refurbishing the bus will

be dependent on volunteers to fix it. Additionally, the council approved its appropriations ordinance for the 2014 fiscal year, and further discussed how those interested in making public comment may address the council. According to a draft of the public speaking ordinance, those wishing to speak at a meeting must tell the city clerk prior to the end of business the day of the council meeting they wish to address the council. That individual must provide his or her name, the organization they intend to represent and what they wish to speak about. The mayor will call those on the agenda to the podium at which point that person must give their name and residential address before speaking. The mayor has authority to limit the amount of time an individual has to speak. Unless recognized by the mayor or presiding officer of a meeting, no person shall be allowed to speak from the audience or interrupt the proceedings. The council will take action to approve or deny the ordinance during its next regular meeting. In other business, the board: n Tabled releasing or retention of closed session minutes until the next regular meeting when the council will have had time to review the minutes. n Approved the treasurer’s report, the bills and the minutes of previous regular and special meetings. n Referred a review of the city scape plan, an action item to rescind a resolution for purchase of property, as well as an action item for the city’s budget to the next regular meeting.

THE ISSUE: District’s digital conversion

OUR VIEW: Implemented correctly, technology will catapult JCUSD

he computers are in, software has been installed. Their distribution is now just weeks away.

Students and educators in Jersey Community School District are being given an opportunity to leap ahead of area school systems and be regional pioneers of one-to-one technology-based learning. Such a large percentage of students, and teachers for that matter, are already astute users of the technology. The major difference is the devices are going from being used as gadgets for entertainment and occasional word processing to instruments of interactive education. When the idea of the conversion first emerged, one of the major concerns was the cost. Until every student has their device in hand, that’s an issue with which some families will continue to struggle. But, there have been generous donations from the community, and the school district has set up payment plans. If the computers are as vital to the education experience as they are being touted, this will work out a lot like lunch - no students are going to go without because they can’t afford it. Another concern that was raised early on and is becoming more prominent now that the implementation is so near is the subject matter and quality of education students will receive using the technology as a primary learning tool. There will certainly need to be a balance between the man and the machine to maximize the potential of this courageous endeavor. Accountability of teachers and students – as it always has been – will be paramount. There will be, and probably already are, more aspects of this conversion that will be cause for concern. But, the district’s administration team has shown a commitment to plow through any obstacles and make something special happen for the students in Jersey schools. As long as the enthusiasm and pledge to progress remains intact, our children will be in good hands.

A Husky named Blue My father recently bought a dog. He’s a shelter dog, and his name, before Dad adopted him, was Loki. Dad thought that Loki was difficult to pronounce and wanted a different name for the dog. Several potential names were tried, and, eventually, Loki became Blue, after his one blue eye. The name—as they say—was just the right fit. Dad told me about the first time he met Blue. Before Blue, Dad tried out several dogs but wasn’t crazy about any of them. Then, before he left the shelter, the lady attending the desk brought out Blue. Blue was a puppy, hyper, and as Dad says, “Very untrained,” but the dog took to my dad and my dad to the dog. Blue, on first seeing my father, promptly lifted a leg and peed on my dad’s shoe. It was love at first pee. Dad came back to the shelter several more times to bond with Blue and to walk him. Blue also received a lot of hugs and kisses. Dad was in love, and soon, he had his dog. Blue had his problems, however, and was quick to show them. He needed training. Dad booked Blue at an obedience class in town, and Blue was quick to learn “the rules.” Dad taught Blue to sit on command, to stay, and most important, to listen to what he had to say. Blue received added training by going to Yappy Hour at the local PetCo. Dad took him down with the intention that Blue would play with the other lonely canines, but it just wasn’t so. Blue was a people dog and very smart. He loved his ball and would

give it to anyone willing to throw it for him or scratch his head. He loved people. He ignored the dogs. People loved him right back and Blue was content with his pack. Winter came. Blue didn’t know what snow was. He was still just a puppy. After his first encounter with “the white stuff” he loved it. Dad would take Blue out for his morning pee, and Blue would play in the snow like a kid. He would leap into a deep snow drift and do what my father called, “Doggie Snow Angels.” Blue did this by jumping into a drift and then wiggling on his back with his four paws digging the air. When he was through playing, he would stand up, snort, and go on his way. When Dad took us to Rimrock State Park Blue was there for the fun! The boulders at Rimrock are perfect for beginning rock climbers. My brother loves to climb. Up the rocks he went. Blue found his footing and went up after him. “Blue can climb rocks!” my Dad shouted. And it was true. Where my brother went, so did Blue. Of course, the rocks were nowhere near a straight up climb, and there were plenty of handholds and footholds for a big dog like Blue. He had an easier time getting up on top of the boulders than he did coming down. He didn’t manage that very well at all. But going up and standing up there with Brad was truly something. I didn’t think Blue would do that. Dad was very proud of his Husky dog.

“I’ve never Guest owned a dog Column like Blue,” Dad said, BY HEIDI helping Blue MOORE down from the rocks. “He’s smart! And boy does he love attention!” Blue came along when my father really needed a dog. Dad was very sad when Brutus passed away. He didn’t think he could love another dog. For a long time, he didn’t have any pets at all. But, then, right when he was needed Blue came along. He stepped so easily into his role as Dad’s best friend. In a sense, he was Dad’s second chance, and Dad was his. They helped each other. Blue loves my Dad and my Dad loves him. And Blue was lucky. He is the only one of his brothers and sisters that made it out of that shelter alive. Dad took him out. He gave Blue a home, a bed, food, water, and lots of love! Blue loves his new life. He has lots of admirers. Dad is very happy with Blue. Blue is very happy with Dad. They were meant for each other. They have helped each other in so many ways it is difficult to count. Today, Blue is content to spend his time chasing chipmunks and squirrels. He loves to go for long evening walks. Dad goes with him. He is Blue’s best admirer. Heidi Moore is a resident of Jerseyville and a guest columnist for the Jersey County Journal.

Pursuit of Happiness I re-read the Declaration of Independence as part of my celebration of our nation’s 237th birthday. The Declaration was issued by the Second Continental Congress on July 4, 1776. The first sentence of this history-making document declares, “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.” I got to wondering about the meaning of the phrase, “pursuit of happiness.” The Founding Fathers did not give us an explanation or definition for the phrase. The First Continental Congress had used a different set of words— “life, liberty, and property”—in the Declaration of Colonial Rights. The Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments use the same phrase to declare government cannot deprive any person of “life, liberty, or property” without due process of law. As a result, some folks claim that “pursuit of happiness” actually means “property.” But, I’m not convinced that property and pursuit of happiness are identical or even synonymous. Property is a material thing, as in real property or personal property. Its value is measured in dollars and it is frequently converted into dollars. Our net worth is a combination of our property and our cash. These are tangible, physical and measurable. But, they are not, according to major religions, the guarantee of happiness. In fact, most denominations warn against dependency on things that “moth and rust doth corrupt.” (Matthew 6:19) Religions suggest that happiness is found in salvation or God’s grace.

Psychologists suggest that happiness comes from “self-actualization” or living to one’s full potential. Just as “life” must embrace the ability to live—to feed, clothe, and shelter ourselves—the pursuit of happiness probably includes the right to have property and to have the “fruits of our labor.” I would think that it also includes the right to go about our daily lives—working, inventing, creating, playing, goofing off—without interference, especially from government. The Bill of Rights was added to the Constitution as a reminder of our inherent rights and that government was instituted to protect these rights. The first 10 amendments were added as protection against the dangers of government. The purpose of the Bill of Rights can be summarized in key sentences from the Declaration of Independence: “That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.” This wasn’t the only statement that includes safety with happiness. We must feel safe and security in order to enjoy our happiness. We understand that our rights are not absolute. As both the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments allow, life, liberty and property can be taken from us, but only through “due process.” Likewise, other rights can be limited or restricted.

For example, Guest we do not have Column total freedom of the press BY JOHN or speech, or WILLIAMS even religion. Of the three specifically listed “unalienable rights” in the Declaration of Independence, the pursuit of happiness is the only one that the Constitution does not allow the government to limit. The government can take away our life (capital punishment), our liberty (prison or community service) and property (fines, seizure of assets, eminent domain). Perhaps this is because “pursuit of happiness” is vague and impossible to define. It’s not scholarly or academic, but I like the interpretation given by the comic strip, Arlo and Janis. Arlo asked, “’Pursuit of Happiness!’ Did Jefferson envision a nation of party animals?” “No,” Arno answered, “He was saying something else entirely.” According to Arno, admittedly a comic strip character, “The phrase is a perfect and elegant way of saying to the state…leave me alone!” This makes sense. The Declaration of Independence sets forth the purpose of government, lists evidence of the failure of the English government to serve that purpose, and provides the justification for rebellion. The Constitution lays out the structure of our American government and, recognizing our English history, provides protections against the abuses by government. The purpose of our new country is to provide for life, liberty and pursuit of happiness. John Williams is a professor of political science at Principia College

Brighton runner-up at Southwest Tournament SAM ELLIOTT Jersey County Journal Brighton's Southwest Baseball League team won its first games at the league tournament in 15 years and made it all the way to the championship game before being edged by Belleville East 9-7 Sunday in Greenville. "We just fell short in the championship game, but overall it was a good weekend," head coach Brian Hanslow said. "We've never won a tournament game before. We've always lost the first game when we've made it. It was fun. The boys were excited. They knew they had a chance, too. Sometimes you can learn a lot from losing, though, too. I told them it should keep them hungry for the spring season." Hanslow and his Brighton players haven't lost much in 2013. They went 23-7 at Southwestern High School during the spring then 20-5 this summer. Brighton won 12 of its final 13 regular season games of the summer, entering the Southwest League Tournament a No. 1 seed. A nine-run outburst in the second inning of Brighton's tournament opener did more than propel the team to a 13-0 win against Red Bud Saturday. It also let Hanslow pull

starting pitching ace Spencer Heineman in order to save him for Sunday's semifinals. "We hit the ball all over the field and we didn't have to use much pitching," Hanslow said. "That helped us out a lot." Heineman threw a complete game in Sunday's 3-2 semifinal win against Godfrey, striking out seven batters and allowing just five hits. Brighton took an early 2-0 lead in the first inning, but Godfrey pulled even after one run in the second and another in the fourth. In the teams' fifth meeting of the summer — Brighton won the regular season series 3-1 — Brighton scored the eventual gamewinning run in the sixth inning. With Andrew Fry standing on third base, Cody Roberts hit a hard ground ball bobbled by Godfrey's shortstop to bring him home. That set up a championship showdown with Belleville East. The teams split their two regular season outings, with each game decided by one run. But Brighton found itself facing a five-run deficit through two and a half innings. "They came out and hit the ball really well," Hanslow said. "We were throwing all right, they were just hitting the ball all over the field." Brighton got within 5-2 after

three innings, but Belleville East built a 9-5 lead before one last rally in the final frame. Brighton scored twice and had the tying run on base, but couldn't bring it home. "We left 14 guys on base," Hanslow said. "We had first and third quite a few times. We had the bases loaded in the sixth inning. We left way too many guys on base. We haven't done that all summer, but it's bound to happen. That's baseball." Despite falling just shy of the league championship, the summer season served its main purpose: developing talent to fill in where needed next spring and honing the skills of Southwestern's returning starters. "It's been a very productive summer," Hanslow said. "We've got seven different pitchers that got 15-plus innings this summer. That's great because we'll need them next year. Everybody got around 35 to 70 at-bats, too. That's a lot of at-bats and just more experience." But after a spring and summer where his teams went a combined 43-12, the coach admits it's a good time for a break from baseball. Not too long a break, of course. Hanslow's just two weeks away from the start of his fourth season coaching the Southwestern seventh and eighth grade baseball team. selliott@campbellpublications.net

Jersey Community High School’s Luke Shively hauls in a reception during a seven-on-seven scrimmage against Williamsville Wednesday, July 17, at the Don Snyders Sports Complex. The Panthers hosted Marquette, Jacksonville and Williamsville for a night of scrimmage work focusing on the passing game and defensive secondary.

SAM ELLIOTT Jersey County Journal The Panthers might not have been playing with a full deck, but that didn't keep the Jersey Community High School football team from working on its passing game and defense during a night of seven-on-seven scrimmages Wednesday, July 17, at the Don Snyders Sports Complex. The squad welcomed Marquette, Jacksonville and Williamsville to Jerseyville for a summer night full of scrimmaging against each other. The Panthers have a senior-laden offensive line that has head coach Dave Jacobs excited and all-conference running back Austin Lolos returning this season, but Wednesday's scrimmages focused solely on the passing half of the offense. "We didn't have three of our all-conference receivers here, but the good part is the younger guys got to step in and get some good work," Jacobs said. "We're building some depth. I can’t wait until we can get our whole team together so we can develop some timing and that sort of stuff. We’ve got a good group."

Luke Shively and Jacob Varble were among the most targeted receivers Wednesday, their size giving them a height advantage against most defensive backs. Varble also took reps at quarterback along with Billy Ritchey, who saw playing time at

the position at times last season. "Billy and Jake are two really good quarterbacks," Jacobs said. "Both of them would start for a lot of really good teams. Right now Billy’s the starter so we can have all our weapons on the field."

Bulldogs, Bombers, Tomahawks conducting tryouts The Brighton Bulldogs 12U and Brighton Bombers 10U squads are hosting tryouts for the 2014 season Sunday at Schneider Park in Brighton. Tryouts for the 12U team will be from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m., while the 10U team's tryouts will be

from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. All children are welcome and registration opens 30 minutes prior to the beginning of each session. The Tomahawks fastpitch softball organization will host tryouts for the 10U through 16U

age groups Saturday and Sunday, Aug. 3 and 4, at Field 6 in O'Fallon City Park. More information can be found online at www.eteamz.com/ tomahawkshome or by contacting Wayne Bendall at (618) 407-5061 or tamahawkscoachb@aol.com

WELCOME TO A NEW SCHOOL YEAR

I hope all of you are enjoying your summer and spending some extra time with your children. The custodians and I have been working this summer getting ready for the 2013-2014 school year. We have some important information we would like to share with you to ensure Illini gets off to a great start. It is my privilege to introduce our new assistant principal, Mr. Jason Brunaugh. Mr. Brunaugh has taught in the district for 12 years and has worked directly with sixth, seventh, and eighth grade students. Last year Mr. Brunaugh was one of District 100’s digital coaches preparing the faculty for our digital conversion. Please do not hesitate to call him or set up an appointment if you have any questions or concerns. ILLINI CONSTRUCTION If you have driven by Illini over the last several weeks you may have noticed some construction taking place. Illini is replacing all of its doors and window which are original to the building. Being well over 40 years old, rusted, and in many instances inoperable, they needed replacing to provide a safer, more secure environment for our students. DIGITAL CONVERSION As many of you know, District 100 is embarking on our digital conversion this year and every 5-12 student will be receiving a laptop. District faculty has worked extremely hard over the last several months preparing to issues close to 2000 laptops to our students. Please understand that this challenge is as new for us as it is for you. I truly believe, as an educator and parent of students in District 100, that this is a step we must take for the future of our children. FUTURE NEWSLETTERS Please be advised that all future newsletters will be

There is a direct relationship between dress, grooming, conduct and the wholesome living and thinking of boys and girls. Students are expected to dress and groom themselves within the framework of individual pride, decency, cleanliness and safety. If you have any questions as to whether an outfit is proper for school, it probably should not be worn. Any physical appearance, which puts more attention on the individual with the possibility of distracting others from learning, will not be tolerated. For a complete listing of rules, please refer to the student handbook.

STUDENT ID’S Illini students this year will not be required to wear an ID while at school. They will, however, be required to put an ID in a provided case attached to their district issued book bag.

STUDENT AM DROP OFF Please use the CIRCLE DRIVE off of Liberty St. between the times of 7:30 – 8:25 AM to drop off your child before school. PLEASE, do not use the teachers’ parking lot or the front of the school to drop off your student. Buses use the front of the building in the morning to unload bus riders. Failure to use the circle drive could result in an accident in which your child may be injured. Failure not to follow these guidelines may result in the police being notified. STUDENT PM PICK UP 5TH GRADE STUDENTS Fifth grade car riders (only) will be released from their classes at 2:55 PM. They may be picked up in front of the school.

Look after the elderly during heat spells Last week we saw heat and humility blanket the area. The state opened cooler centers around the area to help keep people cool. Nobody likes extreme and prolonged heat, but such conditions can be deadly for seniors. On average, more than 1,500 people in the U.S. die each year from excessive heat. The elderly are often the most vulnerable to severe heat, according to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC). Why? Their bodies do not adjust as well as young people to sudden changes in temperature. They are more likely to have a chronic medical condition that changes normal body responses to heat, and they are often on a prescription medicine that impairs the body’s ability to regulate its temperature or that inhibits perspiration. If you are a senior or caring for an elderly individual, the following

tips, will help them combat the heat: • Keep a glass of water or Gatorade in every room to quickly and easily access fluids. Drink plenty of fluids, even if you don’t feel thirsty. • Wear short sleeves, lightweight rayon or cotton, and light-colored clothing that reflect the heat. • Stay out of the sun during the hottest times of the day. Fill up your bird feeder in the morning and water the lawn at night. Sunburns make the job of heat dissipation that much more difficult. • Put down that broom! Save household chores, particularly washing and drying clothes and operating the dishwasher, for evenings, when the weather is cooler. • Take a nap during high heat times – between 3 and 5 p.m. in the afternoon, for instance – or find a good television program or movie to watch.

• While you’re napping or enjoying a movie, keep shades down and blinds pulled. Keeping a house tightly closed is more energy efficient. • Put away that meat loaf recipe for the summer and track down new recipes for fruit and vegetable salads. Foods like proteins that increase metabolic heat production also increase water loss. If increased use of a central air conditioning system causes higher utility bills that are a problem for your budget, consider purchasing a fan or small window unit that can cool down a home at a lower cost. In fact, window fans provide an effective way to exhaust the day’s hot air during the night. Hopefully these tips will help you or your loved one safe during the extreme heat. Also, if you have an elder neighbor or friend, make sure you check on them regularly.

Foods that can help fight cancer Cancer affects the lives millions of people across the globe. When detected early, cancer becomes a significantly less formidable foe, as survival rates for cancer patients whose cancer was detected early are much higher than those whose initial diagnosis came after the disease had progressed into its later stages. But early detection isn't the only way to beat cancer. According to the American Cancer Society, a healthy diet that includes at least 21/2 cups of fruits and vegeta-

bles each day can help men, women and children lower their cancer risk. Fruits and vegetables that have the most color, such as those that are dark green, red, yellow, and orange, tend to have the most nutrients. Fruits and vegetables are typically low in calories as well, which helps people maintain healthy weights. That's a significant benefit, as the ACS Cancer Prevention Study II showed significant increases in cancer occurrence in people who are the most overweight.

The link between cancer andobesity is especially strong with specific cancers, including breast cancer after menopause and cancers of the colon, rectum, pancreas, kidneys, esophagus, and endometrium. What's more, studies have shown that obese men and women have a harder time battling cancer upon diagnosis. So while a diet rich in fruits and vegetables can help lower cancer risk, such a diet may even make it easier to battle cancer if diagnosed.

Scholarships awarded to area students

Jerseyville, Illinois

Illinois Department on Aging seeking nominations for Senior Hall of Fame Nomination deadline is Aug. 19; winners announced later this year Illinois Department on Aging (IDoA) Director John K. Holton, Ph.D., is urging people to nominate older adults for the 2013 Illinois Senior Hall of Fame awards. The annual award, established in 1994 by the General Assembly, recognizes residents of the state, ages 65 and older who excel in the categories of Community Service, Education, Performance/Graphic Arts and the Labor Force. Since its start, 87 people have been inducted into the Senior Hall of Fame. “The annual Senior Hall of Fame highlights older persons for their personal achievement. Each year, we look forward to recognizing the winners when we host the awards ceremony. We

encourage people to submit their nomination forms which must be postmarked or faxed by Monday, Aug. 19,” said Director Holton. Nomination forms are available at local Area Agencies on Aging, on the department website at http://www.state.il.us/ aging/2awareness/hall/hall-fame_ nomination.pdf, or by calling the Department on Aging Senior HelpLine at 800-252-8966. Mail nominations forms to the IDoA Division of Communications & Outreach at One Natural Resources Way #100, Springfield, Illinois 62702-1271 or fax to: 1-217-785-4477. Eligibility is based on the nominee’s past or current accomplishments in the category of choice,

which excel in one of four categories: Community Service, Education, Performance and/or Graphic Arts and in connection to their employment, called the Labor Force. The candidate must be age 65 or older and a current Illinois resident or a former citizen who lived in the state most of his or her life. Posthumous nominees are also considered. IDoA will compile a list of nominees then consult with the Coordinating Committee of State Agencies Serving Older Persons to determine who will be the award winner from each category. This year’s winners will be inducted into the Illinois Senior Hall of Fame during a ceremony later this year.

Left to right, Lisa DeVries, Rosemary Ramsay (Wagner), Jennifer Rekart are the recipients of CSBG Scholarships.

Frank J. Schwab, Director of the Illinois Valley Economic Development Corporation, is pleased to announce that the agency has awarded three $1,000 Community Service Block Grant (CSBG) Scholarships to area students. The recipients were Lisa DeVries, and Jennifer Rekart, both of Staunton, and Rosemary Ramsay (Wagner) of Hardin. The scholarships were awarded on Monday, July 15, with Joe Broers, Community Services Block Grant Coordinator presenting the scholarships. DeVries is working toward becoming a Dental Assistant, Rekart is pursuing a degree in Special Education,

and Ramsay is working toward becoming and Administrative Assistant. CSBG scholarships are awarded to low-income residents who desire to further their educations as full-time students at an Illinois accredited two-year community college, or four-year college or university. An important feature of the CSBG Scholarship program is that it is not limited to recent high school graduates but is extended to individuals who may be returning to complete their education as adults. For the past five years a large percentage of scholarships have been awarded to individuals whose circumstances had never before

afforded them the opportunity or time to consider further education. Many of those individuals and their households had participated in other corollary services offered by the agency and whose educational interests were fostered by this relationship. Director Schwab stated that the CSBG Scholarship Program will have funds available to award several additional scholarships to interested individuals residing in Calhoun, Greene, Jersey and Macoupin counties during the 2013 Program Year. For more information contact the agency administrative office at (217) 839 4431.

GRAFTON WHAT'S HAPPENING AROUND

Governor Quinn signs laws to make waterways safer for Illinois families House laws crack down on boaters who drive under the influence of alcohol Governor Pat Quinn issued a stern warning Sunday to anyone who pilots a boat while under the influence of alcohol: if you’re drunk while operating a boat, you may lose your right to operate a car. Standing at Chicago’s new 31st Street marina and joined by the family of Tony Borcia – the 10-year old Libertyville boy killed last July by a drunk boater – Governor Quinn signed two bills to crack down on boating under the influence and strengthen other provisions of Illinois’ boating safety laws. Sunday’s action is part of the governor’s agenda to keep Illinois families safe. “One year ago, Tony Borcia and his family were enjoying a day out on the lake, tubing behind a pontoon boat. Suddenly a large speedboat piloted by a man impaired by alcohol and drugs bore down on Tony, resulting in this fatal tragedy. We enact this law in Tony’s memory,” Governor Quinn said. “Tony Borcia could have been anyone’s son, brother, grandson or nephew. People enjoying our magnificent waterways shouldn’t have to worry about reckless, drunken boaters when they’re out tubing, swimming or paddling.” “We need to change the culture that accepts and even encourages a driver of a boat to drink while driving. It is time to take our lakes and rivers back,” said Margaret Borcia, Tony’s mother, who launched the “Y-noT Project” to encourage responsible boating. She invited people to visit the project’s website at www.ynotproject.com/. Governor Quinn Sunday signed Senate Bill 1479 – sponsored by State Senator Julie A. Morrison (D-Deerfield) and State Representative Scott Drury (D-Highwood) – which ensures that anyone operating a motorboat involved in an accident involving serious injury or death must consent to the chemical testing of their blood, breath or urine to determine blood alcohol or drug content. Operators who refuse testing, test positive for drugs or exceed the legal blood alcohol content limit, face suspension of their Illinois driver’s license. This law takes effect on Jan. 1. “Drinking and boating is every bit as dangerous as drinking and driving,” Senator Morrison said, Tony Borcia’s aunt and the chief sponsor of the legislation. “I hope this law will make everyone operating a boat think twice before consuming alcohol.” “Drunk and intoxicated boaters have stolen our lakes from local families, at times resulting

in senseless and preventable tragedies,” Representative Drury said. “These new laws will keep our communities safer by sending a strong message that the culture of irresponsible boating behavior will no longer be tolerated in Illinois.” -MOREIn 2012, there were 101 boating-related accidents on Illinois waters, resulting in 17 deaths and 77 injuries. Alcohol use was a contributing factor in 13 of the accidents and five of the fatalities. Governor Quinn also signed Senate Bill 1310 – sponsored by State Senator Melinda Bush (D-Grayslake) and State Representative Michael J. Zalewski (D-Riverside) – which strengthens the state’s Boat Registration and Safety Act regarding a boat’s carrying capacity, redefines “authorized emergency watercraft” and hikes penalties on boat rental operators who fail to equip their crafts. The new law, which takes effect immediately, clarifies that a person being towed by a watercraft, such as a skier, tuber or parasailer, is considered part of the total number of passengers for purposes of a boat’s carrying capacity. The clarification will curb overcrowding by closing a loophole for boat operators claiming that a passenger being towed is not part of the watercraft’s overall capacity. The new law also adds flashing blue lights to the list of colored lights necessary for a watercraft to be designated an authorized emergency watercraft. This will enable Illinois Conservation Police, whose boats use flashing blue lights, to better enforce the law. Finally, the legislation boosts penalties on boat rental operators who fail to properly equip a rental craft with life jackets, a fire extinguisher or lighting. “With summer in full swing and Illinois residents spending recreational time on the water, ensuring safe waterways is critical,” Representative Zalewski said. “I look forward to working with law enforcement officials to keep our children, families and friends safe while they enjoy Illinois’ lakes and rivers.” “These new laws will help Illinois Conservation Police officers and other law enforcement units remind boaters and boat operators to be safe while spending time on the water this summer and year-round,” Illinois Department of Natural Resources Director Marc Miller said. “Staying safe starts with always wearing a life jacket, and never operating a boat while under the influence of drugs or alcohol.”

Grafton Harbor offers cruises, tours and boat rentals By BOB CROSSEN Campbell Publications Some new vessels grace the moorings at Grafton Harbor where people can now rent out boats for personal use or take tours on larger vessels with many other people. Jen Gibson, event organizer, said a seasonal boat named Hakuna Mattata offers regular day cruise tours of the river at 1 p.m. Friday through Sunday, and has special themed trips planned through the fall. “That is going over leaps and bounds. People are calling for that left and right,” Gibson said, adding the boat tours are seasonal and will end as the colors of the leaves change. “Hopefully, as long as the river is open, we’ll do it through eagle season.” The River Rambler Cruises – a narrative tour highlighting historical and geographical areas along the river – are 45 minutes long, she said and participants can reserve lunch to eat on the boat which has indoor, air-conditioned seating

as well as outdoor seating on the second floor of the vessel. Other cruises include shipwrecked cruises where participants ride along on the Hakuna Mattata and act as if they are shipwrecked and become stranded on an island. Gibson said the boat stops at an island for a party with a bon fire and food before taking the boat back to Grafton. “We’re going to have a big bonfire and barbecue and baked beans and coleslaw and potato salad and have a party out on an island,” Gibson said, adding there will also be a Jimmy Buffet cruise. She said wine tasting cruises are also planned in addition to a pair of moonshine cruises in the coming months. But those more interested in intimate river outings can rent a boat – pontoons, runabouts, paddle boats and canoes – for personal use for a set number of hours on the river. She said the costs for each of the boats differ because of their capacity, but noted all the water vessels are brand new.
