Aeries unveils sky tram proposal By Bob Crossen Jersey County Journal It was standing room only at Grafton City Hall Tuesday night during a presentation from Aeries Winery owner Jeff Lorton about his future expansions and projects, including a sky tram. The council approved to refer the information to the planning commission with a request for an opinion on how to move forward. Alderwoman Pam Bick voted against the motion. The largest of the projects – which Lorton estimated at around $3 million – would be the establishment of a sky tram that would take passengers from a house located at 4 West Clinton St., north of The Grove Memorial Park, to the Aeries banquet center. The tram would have a total of 12 cars that would carry approximately 550 passengers per hour and would be handicap accessible. Lorton said the tram could reduce traffic congestion while bringing in additional tourists. “We’ve got a manufacturer from New Hampshire who’s been in the business for years. He actually owns 12 of these throughout the country,” Lorton said, noting the Illinois State Fair lift was installed by the same company. “He’s going to help be a partner in it and also operate it.” Before moving forward with the gondola, Lorton would require an easement and air rights to run the tram over city-owned property. No parts of the equipment would be installed on city property, however. The Aeries Winery owner has been working with Mike Weber, PGAV representative, who is representing the city as a business consultant on the project. PGAV administers Grafton’s tax increment financing (TIF) district, which generates money that can be used as incentives for business ventures. Weber and Lorton have discussed possible terms of an incentive agreement, which would

include control over an incremental increase in hotel tax raised as a result of his expansions. He would not have control over hotel tax money raised by other businesses. Another incentive would be a $200,000 to $250,000 TIF investment for parking lot establishments. Some in attendance worried about the parking options because the base of the tram would be too near to The Grove Memorial Park. During a meeting last week, the council approved to establish parking lots on flood buyout property, but excluded one that neighbored the park. Bob Smith brought a petition of signatures during last week’s meeting requesting the lot not be used for parking, and said the proposed parking for the potential sky tram could be just as problematic. “You’re going to be about 25 feet from the playground equipment,” Smith said. “You get a (See, tram, A2)

Calhoun native named East principal By Bob Crossen Jersey County Journal Students attending East Elementary School will see a different,yet familiar, face this year when they meet the principal of the Jerseyville school. This has been the third principal for the school in as many years. Lori Hopkins moved on to the superintendent’s position after holding the principal position for a year, and Kim Wackerly retired from the job after one year in the principal’s office. The board named Kristie Hurley, a district speech pathologist for nine years, to the principal’s position. Hurley said she is excited to take this next step for her career. “We have great staff here and everyone is so excited,” Hurley said. “The teachers have been in already this year working and we’ve been working together.” After graduating from high school in Calhoun County, Hurley studied at Illinois State University for her undergraduate degree before moving on to St. Louis University where she received an MA in Communication Sciences and Disorders in 2001. She completed coursework in 2009 at Southern Illinois University Edwardsville for Educational Administration. Throughout her continued education, she said she held down a few other jobs, noting one in Chesterfield dealt with speech pathology educational consulting for a private practice. She and her husband moved back to the area to return home to Calhoun County when she got a job with JCUSD in 2004. “My husband and I had moved away, and we really wanted to get back to our home towns,” Hurley said, noting her mother was a first and second grade teacher at Brussels

Kristie Hurley Elementary School. “I’ve always had some great examples, and was happy to get back to my roots.” Hurley said the students come first for her in the building, noting she intends to continue some of the traditions that have been laid out by previous principals like the talent show. “I just want to keep working on the success that’s already been evident in this building,” Hurley said. “We just want to keep going. We certainly want to keep those fun things going. I think the kids enjoy that, and when we have happy kids, we have great learners.” She said communication with parents (See, hurley, A2)

Car show, K-9 demonstration highlight Sunday’s DARE event

By Robert Lyons Jersey County Journal The bright, shiny paint and glistening chrome of dozens of classic cars will surely seduce travelers on Jerseyville’s State Street this weekend. The Jerseyville Police Department DARE Car, Truck and Motorcycle Show will be back Sunday for its fourth year, bringing with it the best elements of the first three events. In addition to 15 classes of automobiles on display, there will be entertainment, food, games and vendors. Jerseyville DARE Officer Sgt. Scott Woelfel said the car show – held in the parking lot of Jersey Community High School – has evolved into quite an event over the first three years. “The work of Kelly Orban from the Street Machine Association is the reason why we are where we are today with this car show,” he said. “She really works hard to drum up business and get guys and girls to bring their vehicles up, and put on a nice little display.” The Jersey County Street Machine Association coordinates the show and then donates all the proceeds to the DARE program, which focuses on helping students in Jersey County schools make safe and responsible choices regarding drugs, tobacco and alcohol. The show raised $1,600 last year for the DARE program. Woelfel said that covers a major chunk of the cost of running the program each year. (See, dare, A2)

By Bob Crossen Jersey County Journal There will be fewer opportunities for deer hunters throughout the area this year as the Illinois Department of Natural Resources has reduced the number of firearm permits for certain counties. Tim Schweizer, IDNR spokesman, said the reductions are due to IDNR’s desire to control the population of deer in the area. “One of the ways we can manage the population county by county is to vary the number of firearm permits they’re issued. Those are tweaked regularly. We examine deer management every year,” Schweizer said. “This year there’ll be some counties that will have their firearm deer permit quota reduced as a result of seeing the herd reduction goals – that we had set a few years ago – achieved.” In a press release issued July 22, IDNR announced that it would also close the late-winter antlerless deer sea-

sons in 20 counties throughout the state. Pike County was struck with the greatest loss of permits for the eithersex quota fire arm permits and antlerless only permits. In 2014, 4,000 either-sex permits will be issued, which is a drop of 500 from 2013. There will be 1,200 fewer antlerless only permits, bringing the total available to 2,500. Despite those reductions, Pike will still have an open late winter season, unlike Calhoun, Greene, Jersey and Scott counties. Calhoun County also dropped greatly in the number of firearm permits available with 300 fewer in the either-sex category and 850 fewer antlerless only permits. Jersey County will remain the same in permit numbers as last year while Greene will have only 1,800 either-sex permits and 1,300 antlerless only permits. Scott County offers the fewest permits this year with 700 in each category. That is a drop of 100 permits for (See, DEER, A2)

Bronson Miller wipes down his classic Ford Falcon Aug. 4, 2013 during the third annual DARE Car, Truck and Motorcycle Show at Jersey Community High School. This year's show, which will be held Sunday at JCHS, features food, games and entertainment.

DARE (Continued from A1) For the second consecutive year, the car show will feature a police K-9 demonstration, led by Jerseyville Police Department’s Officer Danny Green. Other K-9 officers from around the area will also participate in the show, which begins at noon. “They put on a pretty impressive display,” Woelfel said. “Officer Green is extremely well versed in being a K-9 handler. They put on a drug search display and they usually put on a bite display.” Woelfel said by appealing to a wide variety of interests, more people are inclined to come out to the show. He said the K-9 demonstra-

tion was the perfect addition. “I think if you get things other than cars to get the kids excited and get them to come take a look at it, I think it’s more productive and you get a little better turnout,” he said. The JCHS boys soccer team will be serving food at a concession stand, with pork chops, hot dogs, and bratwursts. Other vendors will be on hand, as well, selling various items. But, the focus, of course, will be on the cars. The 15 classes are broken down by year, vehicle type and even by manufacturer. “We have a high school division this year, where younger kids are

putting their vehicles in it,” Woelfel said. “That gives them a chance to participate with the adults and show off their skills and their vehicles.” Awards will be given for the top three vehicles in each class. Registration for the car show begins a 8 a.m. and continues until 11:30 a.m. Judging begins at noon. The show will conclude around 3 p.m. Spectators may enter the show for free. For more information, contact Jeff Dixon at 618-407-6270, Gary Peters at 618-885-5565 or Ed DeUel at 618-535-2678.

Tram (Continued from A1) bunch of people up there going to the winery – we know what they’re going to be doing at the winery –they’re going to come back down on that tram and get into their cars. How safe are our kids going to be?” Some suggested putting up a guard rail splitting the two properties as a preventative measure to keep children at the park safe from cars. Lorton said he would have a parking attendant for the lot, noting the Aeries front office would be located at the house on Clinton Street. One of the Grafton residents lives on property near the site of the proposed gondola. She was concerned about the sound of the machinery. Lorton said the tram uses an electric motor and will be quiet. An Aeries Winery employee said the tram would oper-

ate between 63 and 65 decibels, which is a little louder than the level of normal conversation, according to the American Academy of Audiology. Alarm clocks and vacuum cleaners reach between 70 and 80 decibels in loudness, according to information from the academy’s site. Another worried how the tram would impact residents’ quality of life and property values. Lorton said he thinks the tram will increase the property values of homes nearby. Alderman Jerry Bauersachs said he would like to see the proposal in writing along with information about possible incentives and what involvement the city would have in the process. Weber agreed to provide a list of pertinent information to the council and the planning commission.

Deer (Continued from A1) either-sex and antlerless only permits. In total for the state, 266,285 permits will be issued in 2014 compared to the 277,585 issued last year. That is a reduction of approximately four percent. According to an IDNR press release, biologists in the department “made recommendations for the coming season following a review of deer hunting harvest numbers, deer-vehicle accident data, a survey of Illinois deer hunters, hemorrhagic disease reports and other factors.” The deer-vehicle accident rate in 2013 was similar to that of 2012, despite a decline in harvest numbers over that period of time. The accident rate in 2013 was 145.3 accidents per billion

miles traveled. After two consecutive years below the deervehicle accident goal – which varies by county – counties are removed from the late winter season. For the past two years, IDNR has cautioned hunters about hemorrhagic disease in Illinois deer, often asking them to report any sightings of dead deer that may have died from the disease. Schweizer said there have been few reports of hemorrhagic disease this year, adding the disease is more common during drought periods, as were experienced the past few years. If hunters do find dead deer, however, Schweizer said they can contact IDNR about the animals to file a report. With the deer populations

reaching smaller numbers, he said the permits were reduced to bring the population more in line with what IDNR is seeking. Ideally, he said the same amount of permits would be issued each year while the population remains near a constant level. The number of permits does fluctuate, though, and he said he does not know what to expect in terms of permit numbers for 2015. “If we can get counties to their goal and keep them at their goal, that would be ideal,” Schweizer said.

Hurley (Continued from A1) and families will be of high importance as well, noting her background in speech pathology will help her in cementing those communicative ties. “I think those open lines of communication will really serve everyone very well,” Hurley said. Superintendent Lori Hopkins said Hurley is an enthusiastic person who is perfect for the job. She said her attitude is infectious and hopes that will translate to greater parent involvement in the school. “She also has some natural leadership capabilities and that shows in her personality and her communication,” Hopkins said. “Kids who want to be at

school love to learn. I think Mrs. Wackerly did a tremendous job with that, but I think Mrs. Hurley will also do that because she is enthusiastic.” Because Hurley has worked as a consultant in education, Hopkins said she can bring different perspectives than those who’ve spent their careers within the education field. The superintendent said her take on situations will be beneficial for the district moving forward. Online registration for Jersey Community Unit School District 100 children is already open, and dates of in-person registration are forthcoming.

A driver of an oil spreader lays down a fresh coating of road oil Monday morning on McClusky Road between U.S. 67 and State Route 109.

County completes oil and chipping for the year By Robert Lyons Jersey County Journal Thirty-five miles of county highways just received a fresh layer of oil and rock. The oil and chipping process concluded Monday, with McClusky Road being the last of the year to receive what Jersey County Engineer Tom Klasner calls pavement preservation. “It’s for preventative maintenance,” Klasner said. “It makes the roads last longer. Over a period of time, your roads start cracking. Oil and chipping operations basically seals those cracks back up.” Road oil is applied to the pavement, followed by a layer of gravel. When the oil and chips are initially applied, the roads are dusty and the rocks are loose. But, within a few days, according to Klasner, the dust has settled and the rocks are compacted into the roadway by vehicles traveling over the surface. “In two days that rock is typically set in,” Klasner said. “You’re not going to pick [oil] up on your car even that same day.”

1200 Same as

The county’s highways are on a three-year oil and chipping cycle, with around 35 miles each year receiving the maintenance. The roads oiled and chipped this year were last done in 2011 and are expected to be revisited in 2017. “The price of oil has increased. Up until about five or six years ago we used to do, on average, about 50 miles a year. So, we used to do our roads every two years,” Klasner said. “That may change; we may have to be on a four-year cycle if we don’t get as much motor fuel tax money.” It takes, on average, around an hour to do each mile. Klasner said with all aspects considered – labor and materials – each mile costs close to $10,000 to maintain with oil and chips. So, this year’s cost for oil and chipping was around $350,000. While some of the township roads, and less-traveled county highways have limestone spread over them, the roads with higher traffic volume receive a higher quality rock. “We use what is called an air cooled blast furnace slag,” Klasner said. “It is

more durable [than limestone]. We like it because in the winter time, when the sun hits it, it has a tendency to melt the roads off quicker.” Telling the difference between a township road and a county highway isn’t as easy as evaluating the rock on the road; however, Klasner said county highways tend to be wider – 18 to 20 feet wide, compared to the average of 16 feet on township roads – and better maintained. “We’ve had more money to maintain our roads than the townships,” he said. “The townships struggle to keep their roads maintained.” The highway department contracts to have the oil spread on the road, but uses its own trucks and manpower to spread the gravel. Klasner said township road crews also help with the process. Township road commissioners are responsible for their own roads, but the county highway department often assists. Klasner said oil and chipping on township roads could continue into September.

Carrollton fire claims life By Carmen Ensinger Jersey County Journal Carrollton Fire Protection District responded to a trailer fire early Monday morning which resulted in the death of a female who had been inside when the fire started. Fire officials are not releasing any names pending the identification of the body through dental records. Firefighters were paged out around 2:30 a.m. Monday morning to the 200 block of South Main. Carrollton Fire Protection District Chief Tim Thaxton said the fire had a good head start. “When the first unit got there, the front of the trailer was pretty much fully involved,” he said. “The fire was contained to the kitchen and living rooms, but those two rooms were fully involved when we got there.” Thaxton said the first team of firefighters entered the

home through the back door and attacked the fire, but their air supply started running low so they came out and a second group was sent in. “By this time we had ventilated the roof and when the second team went in they found her in the living room,” Thaxton said. “We believe the person that perished in the fire was the owner, but we are unable to make a definitive identification so we will have to look at dental records and the results of the autopsy.” Upon the request of the Carrollton Fire Department, the State Fire Marshal sent an investigator to investigate the scene. “He looked it all over and he couldn’t commit to a definitive determination as to the cause of the blaze,” Thaxton said. “The investigation into the blaze has been turned over to the Carrollton Police Department and it remains an open investigation.”

Parks Locker Services fighting closure By Carmen Ensinger Jersey County Journal The owners of Parks Locker Service are working to have the facility’s license reinstated after it was revoked July 16 by the Illinois Department of Agriculture. The long-established meat processing plant in Greenfield was recently cited for what the Department of Agriculture calls “repeated violations” of the Illinois Meat and Poultry Inspection Act. A press release from the Illinois Department of Agriculture said the locker service was ordered to close following a July 16 administrative hearing. But, Dustin Hunt, a representative of the establishment, said the decision will be appealed. The administrative law judge presiding in the case issued the revocation order after listening to testimony that department meat and poultry inspectors found 136 violations in the facility from March 24 to June 17 and “management was either unwilling or unable” to correct the problems. Hunt refutes the findings. The violations were “largely for unsanitary conditions that endanger public safety,” according to the Department of Agriculture’s press release. Inspectors documented water dripping onto meat rails, rust on meat hooks, peeling paint on walls and ceilings in places where meat was stored, holes in floors, walls and doors. Hunt also refutes these allegations. The judge’s ruling took effect immediately and ordered Parks Locker Service to cease “any and all processing and sale of meat or poultry products.” Hunt was very forthcoming in answering the specific allegations alleged in the report. “The big problem is we are a small business and we are in an old building and we have stepped on some toes,” Hunt said. “We have never failed to comply with the state requests (or refused) and have never produced a product that wasn’t handled properly – we put food on our table from this locker.” According to Hunt, media reporting of the issue is misleading, as are many of the violations that are mentioned. “For example, the rusty meat hooks were in storage – not in meat,” Hunt said. “The water running on the rails…science dictates here…hot carcasses and a cold cooler creates condensation. The water is droplets formed from this. We are constantly doing repairs on the building such

as painting, patching, etc. It’s an old building but nothing is ever allowed to be unsanitary or endanger public safety.” Hunt takes issue with the statement that they were either unwilling or unable to correct the problems. “We have attempted to correct every finding that has been written over the past 30-plus years, and those written in the last 90 days are no different,” he said. “Usually, when the inspector finds a condition that requires attention, we are told what they want done; the problem is corrected and that is the end of it. It has just recently become a practice of the inspector to turn in a noncompliance report even if we remedied the situation on the spot.” The major finding over the last 90 days was the condensation issue in the cooler and Hunt admits an immediate solution was not found. “Several things were tried such as increasing the circulation of air by installing fans, but the problem persisted,” he said. “We called in a refrigeration specialist to try to remedy the condensation problem and it seems that the main obstacle is the fact that the building is dated prior to the use of moisture barriers installed in the ceiling.” Hunt said the condensation has occurred for years and it happens for only a short period of time during the summer. “We have always handled the situation by making sure the hanging carcasses did not rest under a rail support, which is where the drip occurs,” Hunt said. “This is now considered a zero-tolerance offense.” He said Parks is currently waiting to receive the suggested course of action from a contractor who has offered his expertise in solving this problem in other older plants. “This was not something that we refused to address, nor is it a condition that we cannot address,” Hunt said. “It is something that has been difficult to figure out how to fix, but we have continued to try to find the answer since the day we were told it would not be tolerated.” Hunt said many of the violations were not things that would have anything to do with sanitary or safety practices at the plant. “Caulk where the floor meets the wall, on the slaughter floor, does not affect the product,” he said. “The meat does not ever come in contact with the floor in any area of the plant. If that would happen, the contaminated product would be discarded.” The cracks in the floor, listed among the violations, are also irrel-

evant to sanitary standards, he said. “The floors start out clean every day and are thoroughly cleaned every night after a day of processing,” Hunt said. “This is a cosmetic condition, related to the building’s age, that has nothing to do with public safety associated with the meat that the plant produces.” The same would be true of holes in the walls, he said. “Occasionally, a piece of equipment will come in contact with and damage a wall surface,” Hunt said. “It is not practical to stop and patch and paint this immediately because of caustic odors, etc. Again, cosmetic and not a fault that would contaminate meat because the meat is not in contact with this surface.” The major obstacle for small businesses is the ever-changing regulation in the industry, Hunt said. “What is considered normal, acceptable conditions today can change so dramatically in a short period of time, leaving the meat processor and other food handing companies looking negligent because immediate fixes are not within grasp,” Hunt said. “Often times, it is necessary to correct and satisfy the demands that are implemented. Sometimes it takes several attempts to come up with the correct approach. This is not an indication of defiance or neglect.” An Internet petition has been started asking the Department of Agriculture to reopen the Greenfield landmark. Hunt said the purpose of the petition is simple. “It is to allow the public that doesn’t know us to see how our customers see us: as a family-owned, small company that has now and has always had one objective, and that is to produce the highest quality meat for their table. We strive to have every customer return and do business with us again.” While an appeal has been filed, until this appeal has been ruled on, Parks Lockers Service is not allowed to process any meat until the issue is resolved. Hunt is optimistic the facility will be processing meat again soon. “We will resolve the issues and open our doors again,” he said. “To put five families in the unemployment line by closing this business seems very punitive and extreme. To broadcast that a business is ignoring recommended corrective measures after 30 years of compliance is unfair. The government that receives our tax dollar to operate should make attempts to keep small businesses alive – not destroy it.”

State enacts emergency rules for concealed carry By Robert Lyons Jersey County Journal In the wake of state and federal lawsuits, and more than 200 petitions to review application denials, emergency amendments were made to the state’s Firearm Concealed Carry Act. The rules of the act that have been modified give applicants whose concealed carry permit application has been rejected more opportunity to challenge the denial. The Concealed Carry License Review Board may hold a hearing to make a final determination. The denial of permits is largely based on objections from law enforcement. After an application is received, local law enforcement agencies are given 30 days to object. Jersey County Sheriff Mark Kallal said the objection process is vital to the success of the concealed carry law. “Local law enforcement is familiar with individuals have been dealt with on occasion,” the sheriff said, noting all police encounters may not show up in the background check conducted during the permitting process. Under the change in rules, if denied, an applicant will receive the reason for the rejection, as well as the name of the agency that made the objection. There will then be a 10-day period for the applicant to submit evidence to the

CCLRB proving eligibility. So far, Kallal said he has not submitted an objection to any Jersey County resident who has applied for the permit. “There was probably one situation where we wanted to [object], but we couldn’t because we didn’t have the reports to back it up,” Kallal said. “If they’re objected by an agency, there has to be some kind of supporting documents.” Bob Jones, a local concealed carry instructor, said just one of his students has been denied, though he’s not clear on the exact reason why. He said the rules which require an explanation of a rejection and a chance to respond were always supposed to be part of the process. Overall, however, Jones said he’s been impressed with how swiftly the concealed carry permit process has come along. He said the most common problem he’s encountered arises when there are discrepancies between an applicant’s driver’s license, firearm owner identification (FOID) card and current address. “They’ve been getting their permits in 30 to 40 days,” Jones said of applicants who correctly submit all requested information. “I’ve actually had people who didn’t put the fingerprints in get their permit.” Jones will actually help participants

in his concealed carry classes fill out and submit the application at the conclusion of training, at no charge. He said he holds one class per month and usually has between 10 and 15 students. The emergency rules, which were announced by Illinois State Police July 10, were designed to bolster the framework of the Concealed Carry Act. ““Our work as a Board continues to evolve, and collectively we have been judicious in supporting the state’s implementation of the Firearm Concealed Carry Act. The board thoughtfully considers every objection received from law enforcement agencies, and we believe that these emergency rules will provide a more defined framework on processes and procedures that impact applicants and the public,” CCLRB Chairperson Robinzina Bryant said in a press release. Information received from the state police states CCLRB members have been named in federal and state lawsuits, and ISP anticipates the volume of litigation would continue until a regulatory process strengthened the statute. In addition to its process for dealing with denied applications, the state law has been criticized for not recognizing out-of-state concealed carry licenses.

Closing deer season could hurt more than hunters

Publisher and Editor: Julie Boren

The Issue: Jersey one of several counties closed to late deer season Our View: Closing of late season will have regional impact

publisher@campbellpublications.net

Regional Editor: Robert Lyons

reduction in the opportunities for deer hunters this winter will surely have an effect on several facets of life in Jersey and several nearby counties.

The idea behind Illinois Department of Natural Resources’ closing of late deer season is to sustain and even rebuild the deer population. The state’s deer herds are continuously monitored and evaluated. IDNR has a formula using a number of factors to determine how many firearm permits will be issued, and whether an area should be included in the latewinter antlerless hunting season. While the number of firearm permits issued in Jersey County has not changed over the past year – holding steady at 1,600 – the county is closed to the late-winter deer season, as are Calhoun and Greene counties. We certainly don’t want to see deer killed off at such a rate their very existence is threatened. But, we also don’t want to see the negative effects of closing down a prime deer season. By closing off the county to hunters, many locals lose out on the opportunity to take part in an activity that has become a tradition, often spanning back generations. It will certainly also keep a slew of visitors from coming to the tri-county area, which means they will take their money elsewhere. There is also a distinct possibility the number of collisions with deer will increase. Maybe that won’t happen just over the winter, but as the population grows there almost certainly will be more deer wandering on to area roadways. Those deer create hazards for drivers, especially at night when visibility is already low. One, two years might be fine. But, if Jersey County is out of the late winter season too long, it will be time to demand that the state take a look at its policies and formulas.

America stills stands tall and proud On July 4th we watched the beautiful fireworks at the Jersey County Fairgrounds. Several times during the display the phrase, “And the Rocket’s Red Glare” came to my mind. In citing Wikipedia, Francis Scott Key (Aug. 1, 1779 – Jan. 11, 1843) was an American lawyer, author, and amateur poet, from Georgetown, who wrote the lyrics to the United States’ national anthem, “The StarSpangled Banner.” The song was adopted as the American national anthem, first by an Executive Order from President Woodrow Wilson in 1916 (which had little effect beyond requiring military bands to play it) and then by a Congressional resolution in 1931, signed by President Herbert Hoover. I have no doubt that many Americans actually don’t know the history of our national anthem, and I fear the meaning and importance has waned in the last two or three decades. Oh yes, during the Olympics the shout “U.S.A.”

Journal Seeking guest columnists

If anyone is interested in submitting a guest column, please contact the Journal. There are many topics out there and we have found that our readers have a lot of thoughtful things to say, on a broad range of topics. Columns, like letters, should add to the public discourse in a helpful way. Guest columns are submitted by a rotating roster of columnists or are simply sent in unsolicited and, if appropriate, are published. These columns do not reflect the views of the newspaper, only the writer. Length is no more than 800 words. Deadlines are Tuesday at 10 a.m. Topics are the choice of the columnist although we encourage our contributors to avoid obviously inflammatory issues (religion, abortion, etc.). Though we are a local paper, contributors are free to write about national or international issues (the pledge, the war, Social Security, health care, etc.). The Journal reserves the right to hold, edit or withdraw a column. These guest columns are an opportunity for our contributors to share an idea, an opinion or information; it is not an opportunity to sell a product or a service. We are looking for informed opinion and lively debate. Our only requirements are that your column have relevance to our community and our readership and be responsibly written (no personal attacks or self promotion, for example).

rings out and the anthem is sung or played at most important events in this country. As homage to our active military and veterans we laud the flag. However, I find that the American Flag is being displayed by Americans less and less. Check out your neighborhood. You won’t find many. I suggest we all take inventory of what our country gives us, even though times are tough for many. Since the time of Francis Scott Key many things have happened that set the world on its ear. Disasters that were so horrible no one wants to think about them. Wars that claimed the lives of our brave men and women. The Big One, World War I, that proved to the world that the United States was a force to be reckoned with. Again World War II etched that reckoning in stone. The Korean War that no one really wanted to fight, but our military valiantly went forward and did what was necessary to that end. The Vietnam War veterans that were shunned when

they came Guest home because it was a war Column that we could by not win. The Madeleine aftermath of “9/11.” We Kuehnel were ready to take up arms against those terrorists, but there were far too many sacrifices and not enough gratitude displayed by American citizens. Unfortunately, that enthusiasm waned and in addition to the innocent victims lost in the World Trade Towers, our military blood was shed again on foreign soil. Afghanistan and Iraq again took too many of our American lives. Through it all the United States came out tall and proud, although our popularity among our allied countries had decreased. Madeleine Kuehnel is a guest columnist for the Jersey County Journal.

Four-year degrees from two-year colleges?

A- It will have a negative impact on the area. B- It will help rebuild the deer population. C- I have no interest either way.

Results of last week's poll

Editorial

or the past decade, College of DuPage (COD) President Bob Breuder has been pushing state lawmakers to allow two-year community colleges to offer four-year baccalaureate degrees in technology-oriented fields. Breuder makes a good case. Expect another push in the next session of the state legislature. Since Joliet Junior College became the first such college in the nation in 1901, Illinois has been a leader in the community college movement. When I was a legislator in the late 1960s, public two-year colleges had dotted the mushrooming suburbs and major downstate cities, covering the whole state. Today there are 39 community college districts and 48 campuses, enrolling 42 percent of all higher education students in the state. The two-year colleges have advantages over the older, more traditional colleges and universities. First, many located in populationdense markets, while small colleges often constructed their “Old Main” a century earlier in frontier towns that never blossomed. Second, in addition to tuition and state support, the two-year colleges have the local property tax, which generates big dollars, especially in affluent suburbs such as those in DuPage County. As a result, tuition costs at community colleges are about one-third those of public universities and as little as one-tenth that at some private colleges (though rare is the student who pays the full sticker price at a private college). Tuition for a full-time year of study at a community college is about $3,500 versus $10,000-$14,000 at a public university.

A bout letters to

the editor

And room and board can be saved by living at home. In recent years I have taken a couple of for-credit courses at Black Hawk College in Kewanee, and the instruction was excellent and personal. Higher education in Illinois is in flux. State support for higher education has been falling in real dollar terms, and tuition has been going up rapidly as a result. The state’s program of providing financial assistance to needy students has been flat-funded for years, so while 370,000 were eligible for need-based grants in 2012, 145,000 were left without grants. All of this makes community colleges attractive as alternatives. Take Breuder’s College of DuPage, for example. Twenty-eight thousand students—more undergraduates than any campus in the state other than the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign—take courses in 90 certificate programs and 59 associate degree occupations. The students also have opportunities to earn four-year degrees from cooperating universities without leaving the Glen Ellyn campus of COD. With annual revenues of $250 million and $407 million in net assets, COD is in good shape, to say the least. Breuder wants to take advantage of COD’s strong position to offer low-cost, four-year degrees in fields like information technology, public safety management, advanced manufacturing, auto technology management and, especially, nursing. Community colleges have long turned out RNs with two-year degrees, but leading hospitals and the national nurses’ association now want nurses to have their bachelor of science in nursing degrees.

“We have Guest the experience, the expert staffColumn ing and faciliby jim ties to offer nowlan quality programs in these areas,” says Breuder, adding that few other institutions are interested in such offerings. The enterprising Breuder thinks the time is right, now that 22 other states have OK’d four-year degrees at community colleges. “Why should Illinois be a laggard in this regard?” he wonders. Breuder’s past efforts have been thwarted by opposition from public universities, the federation of private colleges, and the Illinois Board of Higher Education. The IBHE criticized the 2009 push by Breuder for, among other things, failing to demonstrate need for the programs he wanted to offer. Years ago I would have been supportive of this supply-demand, central planning approach of the IBHE, but today I am convinced the marketplace is a better arbiter of what is needed in higher education. A “study group” of 12 community college presidents has been set up to evaluate the issue of four-year degrees. They came out of a recent meeting, not surprisingly, very positive about the idea. Expect the study group to solicit support from the larger community college world and then introduce legislation in the spring of 2015. As Breuder says, “The time is right for Illinois.” And I think he is right about that. A former Illinois legislator and aide to three governors, Jim Nowlan is co-author of “Fixing Illinois: Politics and Policy in the Prairie State” (University of Illinois Press, May 2014).

An alarming decline of bees and other pollinators - responsible for a good portion of the food we eat - will be addressed in a free workshop at The Nature Institute. Trees Forever’s Pollinator Habitat Conservation workshop is set for 1 to 4 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 2, in Godfrey. Farmers, homeowners, conservationists and others interested in creating pollinator habitat are invited to attend. Topics include prairie restoration, site and plant species selection, maintenance, urban spaces and plant identification. Cost-share grants for landowners to install habitat plantings through Trees Forever’s Illinois Buffer Partnership program also will be discussed. Debbie Fluegel, Trees Forever program manager and field coordinator, noted that pollinators are responsible for every third bite of food we eat. “While many animals contribute to pollination, bees and other insects do the bulk of the work,” she said. “Bees are considered a ‘keystone’ species because of all the work they do for all other species.” Patti Brown, Education Director of The Nature Institute, will lead the workshop with Fluegel and Barb Grabner-Kerns, Illinois field coordinator with Trees Forever. Brown noted that the alarming decline of pollinators has happened over the last few decades. “This is mainly due to three things: loss of habitat, increased use of pesticides, and diseases and parasites,” she said, adding that the workshop is one way to address those issues. The Pollinator Habitat Conservation Workshop will be held from 1 to 4 p.m. Aug. 2 at The Nature Institute, 2213 S. Levis Lane in Godfrey. There is no cost, but space is limited, so register early to reserve your spot. Register online at www.treesforever.org/PollinatorWorkshop or by calling Becky Smith at 1-800-369-1269 x 112. Program sponsors are Operation Pollinator and Trees Forever members. For more information, contact Debbie Fluegel at (309) 613-0095 or dfluegel@treesforever.org. Trees Forever is a nonprofit organization nationally headquartered in Marion, Iowa that is dedicated to planting trees, encouraging volunteer and youth involvement and environmental stewardship.

August declared Illinois Breastfeeding Month Illinois Governor Pat Quinn has declared August 2014 as Breastfeeding Promotion Month in Illinois. The proclamation aims to increase public awareness of breastfeeding as the normal and expected way to feed all babies in Illinois. As well, breastfeeding advocates in more than 120 countries worldwide will celebrate World Breastfeeding Week (Aug. 1-7) with the theme, “Breastfeeding: A Winning Goal - For Life!” Every year millions of people use this opportunity to take action to protect, promote and support breastfeeding. This year’s theme “Breastfeeding: A Winning Goal – For Life!” helps individuals focus on the lifelong benefits of breastfeeding, for both mother and infant. The benefits of breastfeeding are numerous, well known and research based. Babies who are breastfed are protected against respiratory and ear infections, asthma, allergies, childhood cancer, and obesity. Mothers who breastfeed have a decreased risk of breast and ovarian cancers, diabetes, hypertension and heart disease. Throughout Illinois, local WIC agencies work within their communities to get mothers and babies off to a good start with breastfeeding. Continuing the education and counseling moms receive prenatally, WIC agencies work with their area hospitals to provide seamless support as moms come home from the hospital and transition back to work and school. Through the statewide Breastfeeding Peer Counselor program, moms receive one-on-one support from experienced breastfeeding moms. As part of The Healthy People 2020 Breastfeeding Goals for the Nation, Illinois continues to work with community partners to increase breastfeeding at three months to 46.2 percent and to increase the number of babies born at hospitals that provide recommended care for breastfeeding moms and their babies. Jersey County Health Department has Certified Lactation Counselors and Breastfeeding Peer Counselors available to answer questions and help all women with breastfeeding needs. The Lactation Club breastfeeding support group is also open to everyone. It is held every Tuesday at 10 a.m. at the Jersey County Health Department and on the first and third Tuesday of each month at 6pm in the Women’s Center at Jersey Community Hospital. Call 618498-9565 ext/ 302 for assistance or more information.
