Manufacturer announces move to Jerseyville By ROBERT LYONS Jersey County Journal A plastics company that produces parts for companies like John Deere, Case and New Holland has committed to relocating its operations to Jerseyville. Applied Engineering Plastics, Inc. is moving to the city’s industrial park from St. Louis County, and expects to be fully operational by the end of September. AEP President Kyle Steiner said his company makes parts for original equipment manufacturers. In addition to the major agricultural equipment manufacturers, clients have come from

several industries, including food processing, transportation, medical and aerospace. “We sell our components nationwide, we are also selling overseas,” Steiner said. “If someone asks us to bid on making a part out of plastic, we do so.” Steiner and Pete Kuhn, AEP vice president, said proximity to their own homes in Godfrey, the community and the availability of TIF funds were all integral aspects of choosing to relocate to Jerseyville. “Half of our workforce is from this side of the river, as well. So, it makes more sense for all them, too,” Kuhn said.

Not all of AEP’s current employees will be relocating with the company, however. AEP has openings for at least two new hires right away, with the potential of two more in the future. Steiner said working for AEP provides a true career path. "So, we're looking for skilled, educated machinists," Steiner said, noting the wages offered by AEP are highly competitive. "But, we do hire young people right out of school and train them in the way of machining plastics." Reading from a press release, Mayor Richard Perdun said in addition to creating new jobs, other local companies will be contracted by AEP to retrofit

County questions port district’s motives By BOB CROSSEN Jersey County Journal Jersey County board members questioned the intentions of America’s Central Port in Granite City during a regular county board meeting Aug. 12 in the wake of rising concerns from Quarry Township officials. On behalf of her constituents, Jersey County board member Rhonda Linders asked America’s Central Port why it spread its boundary to include Quarry Township and other townships in the area. Grafton is located within Quarry Township, and members of the township board were not informed of the boundary extension prior to its passage in the Illinois State General Assembly. A Quarry Township official declined to comment on the matter. The word port carries with it a distinction that many associate with traffic and cargo carried along the water, but ports also offer housing, industrial developments and business centers. America’s Central Port is more concerned with property development than river transport, according to the port district’s executive director, Dennis Wilmsmeyer. Established in 1959 as the Tri-City Regional Port District, the body has numerous powers over waterways within its district, but it also owns and operates more than 1.7 million square feet of warehouse space, 150 apartments and 70,000 square feet for offices. The district leases much of this space to other businesses which offer services ranging from barge, rail and truck commodity transfers to restaurants and daycares. Wilmsmeyer said the Illinois General Assembly overwhelmingly passed new legislation Aug. 1 that revised the port’s rights and powers with the ability to establish museums, plan-

etariums, aquariums, etc., in addition to changing its boundary, which now includes Quarry Township, areas in Godfrey and parts of Alton. Although it is created by the state and holds some govern-

The organization offers a lot of economic development opportunities, the executive director added, giving examples from its 1,200 acre lot in Granite City. “We’ve seen over $300 million investment now on that property in the last six or seven years with new private companies now locating there,” Wilmsmeyer said. “But we’re very much looking forward to using these economic development powers to bring jobs and growth to some of the communities that certainly could use it.” He said Quarry Township (See, diStrict, A2)

EDUCATION

With few exceptions, area ag programs surviving By ROBERT LYONS Jersey County Journal Amidst the cuts to personnel, programs and extracurricular activities public schools are making to slash budgets, almost all local districts are clinging to their agriculture programs. Of the 13 school districts in the fivecounty area composed of Calhoun, Greene, Jersey, Pike and Scott only two – Brussels and Western – do not have ag programs. Beth Bettis, Greenfield High School principal, said being in a rural community

makes offering agriculture classes a priority. “It is no shock, that the number of students whose families are engaged in farming, has declined,” Bettis said. “But, it’s still a very prominent part of the economy in this community.” Western High School in Barry dropped its ag program in March as part of the answer to its financial issues. Western’s interim superintendent, Terry Robertson, said he agrees ag is an important offering, but the need to cut expenses from the district’s budget left no alternative. Need-

ing to overcome a $250,000 shortfall, the decision to drop ag and band allowed the district to slash nearly $100,000 annually from its budget. He said the state of Illinois is responsible for the financial mess at Western, and districts statewide. “You could end up cutting the most popular programs and sports just to stay alive financially, if it’s not required. But, you’re required to offer some courses that may be the least popular,” Robertson said. “That’s just the reality of the business we’re in.” (See, progrAmS, A2)

Steiner said AEP will host an open house and ribbon cutting once its Jerseyville location becomes operational. “We’re looking forward to being part of the community,” Steiner said. “We’re going to be here until we retire.

By ROBERT LYONS Jersey County Journal A Jersey County man awaiting a court hearing for allegedly spitting blood on a sheriff’s deputy is facing a new felony charge of threatening a public official. Daniel Thaxton, 51, was charged July 21 with felony counts of driving on a revoked license and aggravated battery, as well as misdemeanor charges of resisting a peace officer and disorderly conduct. On Aug. 15, Thaxton was charged with making a threat to Jersey County State’s Attorney Ben Goetten, and his family. According to court documents, Thaxton allegedly communicated a threat of bodily harm for Geotten’s performance of his duty as state’s attorney. “Personal threats are sometimes a part of this job and I understand that. However, this particular threat involved other members of my family, and that I won’t tolerate,” Goetten said in a statement to the Journal. Goetten has since recused himself as prosecutor in the case stemming from the July charges. Calhoun County

State’s Attorney Richard J. Ringhausen has been appointed to prosecute both cases. In relation to the July charges, court documents allege Thaxton was driving a Honda dirt bike on Burch Lane while his driver’s license was revoked, his third such violation. While being confronted by police, Thaxton allegedly spit blood on a Jersey County Sheriff’s deputy, which resulted in an aggravated battery charge. He was also charged with resisting a peace officer. Thaxton faces a disorderly conduct charge for allegedly throwing “a big rock” at a woman’s vehicle and then chasing her down on his dirt bike while cursing her out and acting as though he was going to hit her car. The threatening a public official charge is a Class 3 felony, punishable by two to five years in prison. Aggravated battery is a Class 2 felony, punishable by three to seven years in prison. Driving while revoked for the third time is a Class 4 felony, which could result in one to three years in prison, but no less than 30 days in jail or 300 hours of community service.

District

(Continued from A1) has requested to be removed from the district, noting the port is working towards that goal. There is no language in the legislation governing how a local municipality could remove themselves from the district, he added. “We are working through that now. By the time we found out about Quarry Township not wanting in and not wanting to be in, the legislation had already passed and was awaiting the governor’s signature at that point,” Wilmsmeyer said. Linders said this is a concern for her constituents and asked how America’s Central Port would seek to develop space in Quarry Township. Tom Hoechst, former Alton mayor and consultant for the port district, said a conceivable project would be the development of residences on Grafton Hills Drive where the city has an incentive for free residential lots when a home is built atop them. Wilmsmeyer said the port district is required by statute to adhere to local ordinances and codes when seeking to develop an area, adding

the district has no desire to develop a project in an area the district is not wanted. Board member Jeff Ferguson sought answers about the powers the port district can assert in terms of land development, noting it has the authority to enact eminent domain. Wilmsmeyer said the district has never exercised that right in its history, nor does it intend to do so. Board member Ed Koenig said such assurances do not disqualify the district from exercising the right, however, and worried about forced developments from the port in Quarry Township. Wilmsmeyer said everything the port district develops must go through the same process as any other development, including approval from the local townships, municipalities or the county. Townships or local municipalities that are interested in becoming a part of the port district can do so with a referendum or through changes in legislature at the state level. More information about America’s Central Port can be found on its web site americascentralport.com.

Programs

(Continued from A1) Jersey Community High School’s program was put under the microscope during a period of financial restructuring during the 2013-14 school year. Thirteen employees and several programs were cut –including art, consumer sciences and middle school music – which, altogether helped the district cut $1.4 million from its annual budget. The ag program was reduced by half. “We lost one of the two teachers that we had. I don’t think it’s necessarily the ag programs that are struggling as much as it is the school districts in general,” Jeff Goetten, agriculture teacher at Jersey Community High School, said. North Greene’s ag program faced a scare in early 2013, when its school board was presented with the possibility of having to cut most of its electives because of a budget crisis. However, the board instead chose to save $700,000 by closing White Hall Elementary. While all area public school districts have been bombarded with financial struggles due to proration of state funds and increased unfunded mandates, Bettis said she feels the agriculture program in Greenfield is relatively safe. “Ag would certainly not be the first cuts we would make,” Bettis said, noting her job does not include budgeting for district programs. “Our ag program does service so many students that I just don’t think that would be the first place we would look.” More than a half-dozen ag classes are available at Winchester High School. Principal Dennis Vortman said of the approximately 200 students at Winchester High, 54 percent are enrolled in at least one agriculture class. But, Winchester has not been immune to the financial struggles a majority of the state’s public schools are facing. Still, like Bettis, Vortman feels his program is not in immediate danger. He said, so far, the school board has refrained from making cuts to academic programs. “We have a lot of kids who come from a farming background, so it’s very important,” Vortman said, adding there is a plot of land near the school were students can grow crops, take soil samples and do other tasks which further their education. “They’re able to do a lot of things here at Winchester. They get real experience at some of the things that kids at other schools might not get.” The ag program at Carrollton High School is thriving, as well. Going into the 2014-15 school year, it will add veterinary science to its already robust ag curriculum. Despite having around 100 students enrolled at the high school, Bluffs maintains agriculture classes. Pleasant Hill, another small district, offers nine courses in its ag program. Brussels may not have classes that fall under the ag title, but some of its offerings are considered part of the agriculture curriculum in other districts. Dr. Mark Martin, superintendent of Brussels Schools, said the industrial arts courses at his district’s high school include welding and horticulture, which are included with the ag programs at several other schools, such as Winchester and Pleasant Hill. There is also a green house at the high school, that allows students hands on botanical opportunities. Within the past year, Brussels School Board approved a measure that clears the way for a 4-H club

to be established in the community. “A couple teachers came to the board a little bit after the New Year and floated the idea of starting a unit. The school gives them permission to use our facilities. It’s not actually a school program, but it’s school people who are doing it,” Martin said. The vast majority of students at Greenfield take at least one vocational class during high school, and the ag offerings are very popular, according to Bettis. “We have a number of students who are not what I would call typical farmer kids, who take our ag classes,” Bettis said, noting there is a wide variety of ag choices at Greenfield, including ag mechanics, horticulture, landscape and turf management classes. “We don’t have a small engines class in our shop, so the way for a kid to get to some mechanics instruction would be through our ag mechanics class.” Goetten, who is also Illinois’ Section 15 FFA secretary, said the values the students build while in the ag and FFA programs are beneficial to them no matter what career path they may choose. “The FFA is promoting premier leadership, personal growth and career success,” he said. “That’s what we strive for. Whether or not a kid pursues a career in agriculture, they’re still going to gain some life long skills that they’re going to need.” The Western School District has kept all the equipment and materials needed to revamp the program, if and when the time comes. But, Robertson said the situation at Western may get worse before it gets better. “I don’t think you ever want to give up having an ag program in rural Pike County,” Robertson said. “But, I don’t know, we might give up having school if Springfield continues the way they’re doing business.” Western, however, will maintain an FFA chapter, and recently approved Jeri Woods as the sponsor. According to FFA Executive Secretary for Illinois James Craft, once a school discontinues its ag program, an FFA chapter can continue for up to three years. However, only students who were FFA members while the school offered ag classes are eligible to maintain FFA membership. Once those students have cycled through the system, the chapter will cease to exist. But, Robertson said there are several courses that can still be beneficial to students looking to pursue a future in agriculture. “The agribusiness and the health occupations fields are the ones that are blossoming,” Robertson said, noting science, math, marketing, business courses can parallel with the education received in an ag classroom. “You would hope through those courses you could offer some things that are going to be valuable to those kids if they don’t have an ag program.” Martin said the courses offered in his district – in addition to a 4-H club – seem to satisfy the desire within the community and student body for vocational learning, and as of now there are no plans to change the offerings at Brussels High School. “Honestly, it’s not something anyone has come to the board with for us to say ‘We really need to start this,’” Martin said. “If there’s an interest, we always like to respond to people’s interests, if possible. We’re open to ideas.”

Attorneys clash over guesthouse concerns

By BoB Crossen Jersey County Journal A proposed guesthouse in Grafton has stirred up legal discussions due to concerns raised by neighbors surrounding the area to be developed. Andrew Carruthers, attorney representing neighbors of the proposed Brendel Guesthouse, approached the council on behalf of his clients July 22 to express their concerns on the matter. He did so again at a meeting Aug. 12. Grafton Mayor Tom Thompson said the city attorney intends to meet with the city’s building inspector, Bruce Wickenhauser, to discuss the concerns outlined by Carruthers. “Since we’re dealing with concerns of people, I think it’s appropriate that we respond to those concerns and not just go right ahead and act like we didn’t get any concerns expressed,” Thompson said. “We’re trying to be open-minded and diplomatic in that.” Jim Schrempf, Grafton city attorney, said he met with Carruthers and Wickenhauser Aug. 15 to discuss the issues raised by Carruthers’ clients and other neighbors in the project area. The city attorney said they have come to a conclusion on some of the points while others are still being researched. The city may disagree with Carruthers’ clients on some issues, he said, adding the council wanted to ensure concerns were addressed and discussed before the project gets too far along. “The meeting was very productive and there’s still yet to be defined if we have anything in dispute,” Schrempf said. “From the about five things he originally inquired about, we’re down to two, maybe three.” Schrempf said the parties came to an agreement on the size of the lot purchased for the project and that it was zoned residentially. He said they will continue to meet and discuss the issues until they are resolved.

Carruthers said the city and his clients are still at an impasse with some issues, most notably the use of the lot for a five-unit guest house, which he contends is a hotel rather than a bed and breakfast. The residential zoning of the property allows for bed and breakfasts, but Carruthers said the project does not meet the state definition of such a business. “The Illinois law defines a bed and breakfast as an owner occupied operation. Basically the owner of the property has to live onsite or on an adjoining parcel,” Carruthers said. “They’re basically putting a five-room hotel on a quiet residential street.” In an Aug. 5 letter addressed to the mayor, Carruthers detailed the main points of contention for development of the five-unit guest house, which would be located on Cilnton Street. In his letter, Carruthers requested the city keep his clients informed during every step of the project and deny any building permits until their concerns are addressed. Thompson said a signed building permit has been issued by the city. Carruthers indicated his clients wanted a copy of that permit, and at the time the letter had been drafted, he had not received the information. Among the complaints aired in the letter are concerns about the amount of space required for the guesthouse, the variances necessary to construct the building, lack of public input for a lot zoned residentially and the impact of drainage and water runoff in the area. “I personally visited the property and can confirm that the size of the lot appears to be far too small for a development of this nature and would require the granting of too many exceptions of the zoning code,” Carruthers wrote in his letter. He wrote the concerns about the need for a variance are too great to ignore. According to the plans, the attorney noted, a concrete retaining wall would be constructed, which does not conform to the five-foot minimum setback requirement.

The completed project would cover more than 40 percent of the lot as well, he wrote, which is a violation of the zoning code and would require a variance. A strip of Maple Street that connects the Brendel property to Clinton Street, over which the building will be constructed, may not have been vacated by the city council, he added. Joyce Harmon, Grafton treasurer, said she looked back through city council minutes and found that particular part of the street had been vacated in 1927. Vacating the street would have required a public hearing. Traffic increase in the area was also a factor, as Carruthers notes in his letter that his clients do not want the road widened. Widening could result in the removal of plant life in the area, and residents are particularly concerned about a tree claimed to be more than 200 years old. Mayor Thompson said the tree would not be harmed as a result of any part of the project. The city council approved to run a sewer line to the property during a meeting July 22 at a cost of $6,800 under the condition it run along the edge of property owned by Jeff Lorton to alleviate concerns of an old tree being cut down. Alderman Jerry Bauersachs voted against the motion for the sewer line extension. Thompson said the sewer line requires some records from the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency. The construction may not begin until that goal has been met, and it is unclear how long that could take, he added. Carruthers said the records filed with the EPA to receive a permit for the sewer line work do not indicate the line would run along the edge of a property owned by Lorton, nor has Lorton filed an easement with the city to allow for such a sewer line detour. Unless one of the sides backs down, Carruthers said the issues will continue to be argued by his clients.

Club puts new spin on Olden Days By roBert Lyons Jersey County Journal There’s something new for those who are young at the festival that celebrates everything old. The 24th annual Olden Days festival is scheduled for Aug. 23 and 24, on the grounds of the Tri-County Antique Club. Rita Robertson, antique club board member, said the two-day event has expanded to be more fun for all ages. In addition to the ever-popular tractor pulls, car show and demonstrations, this year’s event will include new attractions in the children’s area known as Agri-land. “I don’t know how many kids like walking around and seeing different vendors, that’s probably more of an adult thing,” Robertson said. There have long been pedal tractor pulls, barrel train rides and other activities for youngsters. But, now there are several miniature buildings available for children to get a downsized dose of what the adults enjoy about Olden Days. “I think if you start them at a young age, knowing how Grandma and Grandpa used to do it – and probably nowadays it’s how greatgrandma and grandpa used to do it – it’s something fun for the kids,” Robertson said The miniature buildings include a general store, house and school. Each features scaled-down furniture and details. The general store is also connected to a historic structure on the grounds known as the Flautt building. “The front of the building has more of what the adults would like to look at: the collectibles, the old time stuff. The back is a general store geared toward children,” Robertson said. A wooden crop duster has also been donated to the antique club, and will be available in Agri-land for children to climb in and have pictures taken. It is styled after Dusty the Crop Duster from the Disney movie “Planes.” Just because Tri-County Antique Club has made an effort to make Olden Days a more family-friendly event doesn’t mean it has abandoned its roots. After all, that would be in

direct conflict with the club’s mission. Taking time to step back, relax and appreciate the way of life from a bygone era is comforting, Robertson said. “Taking my dad over there and just listening to the older generation talk, I don’t know, as I’m saying this I get chills up my spine,” the 47-year-old Robertson said. “It’s just a good time for people to meet old friends, sit around, catch up and talk.” Robertson said keeping in touch with the past is a multi-generational activity for her family. She said Olden Days is the perfect opportunity to get a feel for what life was like decades ago. “I picture it as going into ‘Little House on the Prairie,’” Robertson said. “It just kind of puts you into the mindset of being back in that era.” The blacksmith shop will be open and on display all day Saturday and Sunday.

Jerseyville to look at letting golf carts on city streets

RITTER BROS. SINCE

1944

By ROBERT LyOnS Jersey County Journal Golf carts may soon be a frequent site on Jerseyville streets. The possibility of a city ordinance that would allow the golf course cruisers to travel around town was discussed at Tuesday night’s city council meeting. The topic was brought to the aldermen during the public comment portion by Jerseyville resident Kent Isrinhausen, who presented a copy of Carrollton’s ordinance allowing residents to drive golf carts on its streets. Mayor Richard Perdun said he supports the idea, but wants any ordinance approved to stop with golf carts. “There’s an awful lot of golf carts now, and I would prefer to legalize them and make them safe,” the mayor said. “I would like to restrict them to golf carts, and not Gators and four-wheelers.” In 2010, Illinois began providing license plates for low speed vehicles (LSVs), which require many safety features, such as seat belts, turn signals and a windshield. The same year, the state also allowed municipalities the ability to permit average golf carts on roadways, provided they are equipped with brakes, rearview mirrors, headlights, taillights, brake lights, turn signals and signs designating them as slow moving vehicles. Isringhausen said the LSVs cost $8,000 or more. A new golf cart, however, can be purchased for less than half the cost of an LSV, and Isringhausen said can be modified to meet municipal code for between $500 and $1,000. Drivers of golf carts on city streets must have a valid driver’s license, per state law, and Carrollton restricts the vehicles’ operators to those who are at least 18 years old. The carts may also be driven only on city streets, not on state highways. Isringhausen suggested the city create its own permitting process for golf carts, possibly including an inspection. “You get a sticker, like the dump sticker, or make your own sticker up that you want,” Isringhausen said. “They’d pay a sticker fee for the city and the golf carts would get

inspected.” Grafton and Chautauqua also have ordinances allowing golf carts to travel on municipal streets. “In the three years that Carrollton has had it in effect…there have been no accidents,” Isringhausen said, noting he spoke with the Carrollton police chief. Councilman Andy Macias said the idea of permitting golf carts on Jerseyville streets was discussed about three years ago; the topic died due to lack of interest. The topic of golf carts was not on the agenda, and the council took no action. However, Macias said the council would research the issue and likely draft an ordinance to be voted on at a future council meeting, using the Carrollton ordinance as a template. Also at Tuesday’s meeting, the council approved Walmart’s second Children’s Miracle Network fundraiser of the year. Walmart’s Lanita Combs said last year the Jerseyville store raised more than $35,000 for CMN, which was more than any of the 92 stores making up the St. Louis region. “We live in a very giving community,” Combs said. The upcoming fundraiser will be held Sept. 6 at the intersections of State Route 16 and U.S. Route 67, and State Route 109 and County Road. In other action, the council: n Approved a fundraiser for the Knights of Columbus at the intersection of State Route 16 and U.S. Route 67 on Sept. 20. n Approved the 2013-14 audit as presented by Danny Phipps of Scheffel and Boyle, in which the city received an unqualified opinion. n Approved the nomination of Richard Seabold to continue as training officer to the Jerseyville Fire Department. n Approved selling the police department’s 1993 Chevrolet Blazer to the high bidder, Southside Auto, for $900. n Approved a TIF application for Applied Engineering Plastics, Inc. n Approved the list of bills as presented, totaling $517,946.72. n Approved the minutes of the previous council meeting.

Few events celebrate bygone era like Olden Days

Publisher and Editor: Julie Boren

The Issue: Festival celebrating the past in its 24th year. Our View: Olden Days offers something for everyone.

publisher@campbellpublications.net

Regional Editor: Robert Lyons

here’s a mentality prevalent throughout the community to keep things the same. People are always talking about the good old days, and yearning for a return of a time when life may have been much simpler.

That thought process is satisfied for many with events such as this weekend’s Olden Days Festival. For 24 years, the TriCounty Antique Club has held the gathering, which celebrates ways of life known from the Victorian Era up until the middle of the 20th century. An array of items – everything from antique tools and engines to old tractors and buildings – are put on display to put visitors in the mindset of a bygone era. Blacksmithing, sawmilling and threshing demonstrations throughout both days of the festival give a glimpse of what life was like for some of America’s hardest workers at the time soon after the Industrial Revolution. The festival also gives people with a common interest to rekindle and build new friendships, according to Tri-County board member Rita Robertson. She said three generations of her family are involved with Olden Days, and she gets great enjoyment from hearing her father sit around and talk about the past with other festival goers. Enjoying the past isn’t just for those who can remember it, either. The antique club has made a great effort to make the festival an event for visitors of all ages. This year, with an expanded Agri-land children’s area – featuring scaled down versions of some of the same attractions enjoyed by adults – Olden Days has taken a step to ensure there is interest in our local history for years to come. The music and food offered at the festival is sure to appeal to all ages. The old-fashioned homemade ice cream produced on site, fried fish and a country breakfast both mornings of Olden Days transcends all age groups and interests. The Jersey County area – as well as Greene and Calhoun, which are also encompassed by the antique club – are rich in history and Olden Days is the perfect way to pay tribute.

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.

Caviar with an oink L

et’s be honest, while an excellent university, not many world records are made at Western Illinois University. But that changed recently when a member of the School of Agriculture’s faculty and Good Hope, Illinois resident Associate Professor Mark Hoge, sold a pig (Yorkshire boar to be exact) for a staggering $270,000 – a world record price, according to the National Swine Registry. Assuming the pig weighed 280 pounds when sold, that pencils out to be about $60 an ounce, very comparable to the price of some caviar. The price of a prime filet mignon is about $30 an ounce. And the price of the hamburger purchased from a fast food establishment is about 50 cents an ounce. The prize boar is not going to end up in expensive bacon or ham. It will lead a long and good life. The boar garnered such a high price because of its very unique genetics and its ability to pass those genetics along to other generations. And the genetics the boar possesses are particularly important to those who raise and show pigs at various competitions around the country in what is called the showpig industry. The showpig industry is completely different from the commercial swine industry. The goal of the commercial swine industry is to produce high quality and reasonably priced pork for the consuming

public. In contrast, the showpig industry is geared to the raising and showing of pigs in the show ring, with the recognized hope the pig will do well. While there are some disagreements between these two segments of the pork industry on how to raise and handle hogs, Assoc. Prof. Mark Hoge’s focus is on the showpig industry for a very clear reason. The $270,000 hog was raised by Mark and his family. His family, including his wife, look at the various showpig competitions they attend no differently than many people look at sporting events. While showpig competition is important and how you do in the competition is very important, just as at a swim meet or T-ball game, the essential showpig ingredient is family participation. The hogs are raised, transported, prepared for competition and paraded for the judges, as a shared family experience. The most visible part of the showpig industry is the competitions – at various events, at county fairs and at the recently ended Illinois State Fair. At those competitions you will see families working together to assure their pigs do well in the competition and to gain the most from the experiences shared. You will see sleeping bags near a family’s pigs, you will see small kitchens to feed the family, and often other competitors,

and you will note a variety of grooming instruments used to fully polish the animal for the judging ring. As the time nears to enter the judging ring, the entire family, and Guest grandparents, will be excited, Column focused and BY WILLIAM supportive. C. BAILEY So the next time you see a shiny livestock trailer pulled by a truck filled with a family, wonder what competition they are coming from or what competition they are going to. Perhaps one of those trailers will contain an off-spring of Mark Hoge’s (and his family’s) record setting boar. –––––––––––––––––––––––––––– n Professor William C. Bailey

A tribute to teachers I

believe that teachers are involved in the greatest profession in the world. From and out of education springs all other professions. Their efforts, influence, and the good that they do truly affects generations to come. Eventually what teachers do in our schools is going to determine what the world and our community will be. Teachers have a unique gift for giving. This unique gift drives them with the same irrepressible drive that motivates others to create a masterpiece, a work of art. John W. Shlatter wrote a beautiful article describing (as only he could) a “Teacher.” I would like to paraphrase and share this with you. I am a Teacher! I have been many people in many places. I am Ann Sullivan tapping out the secrets of the universe into the outstretched hand of Helen Keller. I am Marva Collins fighting for every child’s right to an education. I am Mary

McCleod Bethune building a great college for my people, using orange crates for desks. I am Christina McAuliffe, challenging the youth of America to discover new ideas. I am also those whose names and faces have long been forgotten but whose lessons and character will always be remembered in the accomplishments of their students. I am a paradox. I speak loudest when I listen the most. My greatest gifts are in what I am willing to appreciatively receive from my students. An architect knows that if he builds with care, his structure may stand for centuries. A teacher knows that if he builds with love and truth, what he builds will last forever. I am a warrior, daily doing battle against peer pressure, low selfesteem, negativity, fear, conformity, prejudice, ignorance and apathy. But I have great allies: intelligence, curiosity, individuality, creativity,

faith, love, and Guest laughter all Column rush to my banner with indomBY TOM itable support. THOMPSON And so I have a past that is rich in memories. I have a present that is challenging, adventurous, and fun because I’m allowed to spend my days with the future. I know that Teachers affect generations. They never know when their influence ends. Teachers have the power, the passion, the knowledge and the skills to make a positive difference in the lives of our children. I would like to take this opportunity to express my appreciation to the teaching and support staff in the Jersey County School District for the unique gift you share with children. The gift of teaching! –––––––––––––––––––––––––––– n Tom Thompson is the mayor

Your VIEWS New EPA regs could cause price of electricity to rise TO THE EDITIOR: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is planning to release regulations to limit carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions at existing power plants. The result could be more expensive electricity for southern Illinois residents. At MJM Electric Cooperative, we believe that relying on diverse fuel sources for electric generation is the best way to keep electric bills affordable. Whether our electricity is generated by coal, natural gas, wind turbines, biomass energy, and landfill-to-gas energy, we take our responsibility seriously to provide reliable and affordable electricity while doing our best to protect the environment. We care about the price of electricity because we’re a not-for-profit electric cooperative that looks out for our members and their checkbooks. We’re concerned that the EPA is making a decision that could force an increase in the cost of electricity and erode the reliability of our power supply. What’s at stake? If electricity prices rise, we’re worried that the trickle down effect could be severe. Higher electricity prices hurt businesses of all types, potentially leading to layoffs, or slower job growth.

That’s why we’re encouraging everyone to speak up. Visit www.Action.coop (for MJM members) or www. TellEPA.com and tell the bureaucrats in Washington, DC that we can’t afford more regulations and higher electric bills. LAURA CUTLER President and CEO of MJM Electric Cooperative Carlinville, Ill.

District seeking scholarship donors By RoBeRt Lyons Jersey County Journal Jersey Community School District is seeking donors for its laptop scholarship program. According to Superintendent Dr. Lori Hopkins, there are students in the district who are struggling to pay the fee to receive their laptops. The fee is $85 for most students, but it is reduced to $75 for students on the free or reduced lunch program. The district set up a scholarship program last year to help assist families that could not afford the fee. The scholarships were made possible by donations from businesses, organizations and private individuals. Last year the district received more than $8,000 for laptop scholarships. This year, more than $2,500 has been raised for laptop scholarships. “I’m very grateful to all these individuals, businesses and organizations,” Hopkins said. “What’s great is, I didn’t reach out to anybody, they just came to me.” But, as the schools prepared to deploy laptops for students this week, Hopkins said there were still some

who had not paid the fee required to receive the primary learning tool. Each scholarship covers $50 of the laptop fee. Donations are tax deductible, Hopkins said, and the district will send documentation for tax purposes. Last year’s donors include: Kiwanis, First Presbyterian Church, Salvation Army, Richard Lott, Jersey County DARE, Jersey County Housing Authority, JCHS math club, Vince Ojeda, Marshall Lewis, Kevin Robertson, the Kathy Shalley Family, John Jones, First Baptist Church, Jersey County Education Association, Melvin Lester, Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence Wallace, Mr. and Mrs. Russell Jackson, Nancy Weston, Mr. and Mrs. Richard Stoner, Mr. and Mrs. Robert Bertman, Cary’s Mound Farm, Judith Lane, Mr. and Mrs. Leslie Hatton, Mr. and Mrs. Paul Isringhausen, JCHS Class of 1958, Peace United Church of Christ, Mr. and Mrs. Dennis East, Mr. and Mrs. Jerome Tepen, Mr. anD Mrs. Robert Russell, Mr. and Mrs. Kenneth Wahle and Darlene DotyFitzgibbons. Hopkins said she wrote personal thank you’s to each donor.

Bill to increase duck stamp price passes House Natural Resources Committee

Ducks Unlimited officials praised the House of Representatives Natural Resources Committee’s passage by voice vote Wednesday, July 30, of the Federal Duck Stamp Act of 2014. The measure is now headed to the House floor for consideration. The Federal Duck Stamp Act of 2014, a bill introduced in the U.S. House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate would raise the price of the Federal Migratory Bird Hunting and Conservation Stamp (duck stamp) to $25 from its current level of $15 and dedicate the amount of the increase to conservation easements with private landowners. “Ducks Unlimited appreciates the support of House Natural Resources Committee Chairman Doc Hastings (R-Washington) and Ranking Democrat Peter DeFazio (D-Oregon) in moving quickly to report HR 5069 to the House floor,” said Ducks Unlimited CEO Dale Hall. “We also appreciate the leadership of Subcommittee Chairman John Fleming (R-Louisiana) and the bipartisan cosponsors in bringing the bill to the Committee for consideration. The

price of the duck stamp was last adjusted 23 years ago. Since then, the price of land has tripled and conservation buying power has diminished greatly. Once again, sportsmen and women are willing to lead in funding conservation that benefits all of our citizens.” Since its enactment in 1934, the federal duck stamp program has protected nearly 6 million acres of habitat through expenditures of more than $900 million. The price of the duck stamp has been raised only seven times. The last price increase

raised the price of the stamp to $15 — the single longest period without a price increase in the program’s history. The Congressional Budget Office found that because the federal duck stamp is a user fee, such a price increase would have no net impact on federal spending. Sponsored by Chairman Fleming, HR 5069 is originally co-sponsored in the House by Congressmen Ron Kind (D-Wisconsin), Jason Smith (R-Missouri) and Rob Wittman (R-Virginia).

JERSEY COUNTY JOURNAL

Illinois youth firearm deer hunt season scheduled for Oct. 11-13 The 2014 Illinois Youth Firearm Deer Hunt is Oct. 11-13 for those hunters with a valid Youth Deer Permit who have not reached their 16th birthday by the first day of the hunt. Youth Deer Permits are available over-the-counter at license vendors throughout the state. Hunters may purchase only one permit (either-sex) for one of the open counties. Last year, Governor Pat Quinn signed into law legislation extending the Illinois Youth Firearm Deer Hunt from a two-day to a three-day season, providing an additional hunting day on the Columbus Day holiday. All youth hunters must have a current, valid Youth Deer Permit and have a regular hunting license, Youth Hunting License or Apprentice Hunting License, unless exempt. If using a regular hunting license, participants must have completed an IDNR-approved Hunter Education course. Each hunter participating in the Youth Deer Hunt while using an Apprentice Hunting or Youth Hunting License must be accompanied by a non-hunting, validly-licensed (Illinois hunting license) parent, guardian or grandparent who is 21 years of age or older. All other hunters participating in the Youth Deer Hunt must each be accompanied by a non-hunting supervisor (parent, guardian or responsible adult) who has a valid Illinois hunting license or who has in his or her possession a valid Firearm Owners Identification (FOID) card. The non-hunting supervisor must wear the orange garments required of gun deer hunters (blaze orange cap and upper garment with a minimum of 400 square inches of solid blaze orange material), and must remain with the hunting youth. Each supervisor may only accompany a single youth at any given time during the hunt. Shooting hours for firearm deer hunting in Illinois are one half-hour before sunrise to one half-hour after sunset. All Illinois counties except Cook, DuPage and Lake Counties, and that portion of Kane County east of State Route 47 are open for the youth deer season. Hunting hours are one-half hour before sunrise on to one-half hour after sunset on Oct. 11-13. The bag limit is one deer per legally authorized permit. All either-sex permits are subject to the following restrictions: no hunter, regardless of the quantity or type of permits in his/her possession, may harvest more than two (2) antlered deer during a year, including

the youth, archery, muzzleloader and firearm seasons. Successful hunters must register their harvest by 10 p.m. on the same calendar day the deer is taken by calling the toll-free telephone checkin system at 1-866-ILCHECK or by accessing the online check-in system at www.dnr.illinois.gov/vcheck. They will be provided with a confirmation number to verify that they checked in their harvest. This number must be written by the hunter on the temporary harvest tag (leg tag). Youth hunters are reminded that archery deer season will be underway and archery hunters will be afield during the Oct. 11-13 youth hunt. Archery deer hunters and all other hunters are reminded that they must comply with requirements to wear blaze orange the weekend of the youth deer hunt (except in counties closed to the youth deer season).

Gov. Quinn signs law to coordinate assistance to Illinois’ service members Governor Pat Quinn has signed legislation that will help coordinate the donations and grants made by the public toward Illinois’ veterans. This action is part of Governor Quinn’s agenda to support Illinois’ military families. “When it comes to supporting our veterans, Illinois is second to none,” Governor Quinn said. “This law is just another way a grateful state can say ‘thank you’ to those who served. Now we can help ensure our servicemembers receive the support they deserve for all of the sacrifices they have made to protect our freedoms.” “We are grateful for Governor Quinn’s leadership and support of our Illinois veterans and their families,” Illinois Department of Veterans’ Affairs Acting Director Rodrigo Garcia said. “The bill he’s signed into law today is a strong initiative to continue helping us to help those who’ve served. Senate Bill 3222 creates the Illinois Joining Forces Foundation and marks the next stage in our efforts to help so many deserving people across Illinois. We are also grateful to the sponsors and supporters of this important piece of legislation.” Senate Bill 3222, sponsored by State Senator Mike Hastings (D-Matteson), a West Point graduate and Iraq veteran, and State Representative Wayne Rosenthal (R-Litchfield), a veteran and a retired Illinois Air National Guard officer, represents the next step forward for Illinois Joining Forces. The law allows Illinois Joining Forces to be housed in a non-profit organization, the Illinois Joining Forces Foundation. The Foundation will help coordinate the “sea of goodwill” being offered to veterans and their families from numerous public and private sources. The new partnership allows the Illinois Joining Forces program to solicit, accept and disperse grants and donations on behalf of the state’s veterans. This central coordination will ensure the most effective acceptance and distribution of assistance for veterans. The law is effective immediately. “The Illinois Joining Forces Foundation is an outstanding way to show our veterans that we will honor and support them even after their services are inactive,” Senator Hastings said. “When these men and women return to their homes, they should not have to

go door to door to receive the services they may need and the foundation will provide an excellent one-stop-shop for them.” “With so many organizations available to assist our military service members, veterans and families, it can often be overwhelming to know where to turn for assistance,” Representative Rosenthal said. “That is where the Illinois Joining Forces excels. By creating a one-stop shop to help our military find the assistance they need, the Foundation makes the process less daunting. Establishing the Illinois Joining Forces Foundation as a not-for-profit will allow for additional resources to be allocated towards their mission, services and programs.” Illinois Joining Forces has been recognized by the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff as an “innovative example” of expanding collaboration and information sharing at the local level. In Feb. 2014, IDVA received the Abraham Lincoln Pillars of Excellence Award from the U.S. Department of Veterans’ Affairs for its cre-

ation of Illinois joining forces. For more information on Illinois Joining Forces, visit www.illinoisjoiningforces.org Governor Quinn has long been a leader for supporting Illinois’ military families. He initiated the Illinois Veterans Grant and Illinois National Guard Grant, which cover tuition at all Illinois public universities and community colleges for eligible veterans and serving National Guard members. He also required colleges to post all benefits available to Illinois veterans and assign a staff member to serve as the point of contact for student-veterans who need information and assistance. In 2012, Governor Quinn and the Departments of Veterans and Military Affairs spearheaded the statewide public-private partnership, Illinois Joining Forces, which has been a model for other states to follow. Today’s bill signing creates a foundation that will help further this organization’s mission of assisting veterans.

Ben Allen worked with a Montana man, Tracy Kroon, to find a bus of the same make and model as the original Grafton Dinky to create a replica. The bus will be outfitted with a grill and hood to mimic the distinct look of the rail bus that used to travel from Grafton to Alton.

By BoB Crossen Jersey County Journalw The Grafton City Council approved a committee of community members to head the restoration of a Dinky replica to eventually be placed in the museum at the visitor’s center. Chaired by Bob Smith, the committee consists of Ben Allen, Trudy Allen, Dennis Berry, Peggy Berry, Ed Amburg, Tom Wright, Mary Lillisve and Dianna Huttes. The committee meets on the second and fourth Monday of the month at 2 p.m. at the Loading Dock in Grafton. The Dinky is a historic railbus fashioned out of a White Motor Company school bus that transported people from Grafton to Alton, with stops along the Great River Road during the trip. The original Dinky is located at the Museum of Transportation in Missouri, and efforts have been

made in the past to return the railbus to Grafton. The museum, however, has been reluctant to give up the converted bus. Ben Allen worked for years to find a replica bus that could be converted into a replica of the Dinky, and in his search he found a bus of the same make and model through a man, Tracy Kroon, in Montana. Kroon restored White Motor Company buses, which had been used as tour buses at Yellowstone National Park. Kroon found a bus that was put put up for auction in California. The city won the auction with an $18,000 bid, which was approved by the council. The bus was brought to Montana, and last August, Dan Bechtold volunteered to transport the bus to Grafton where restoration could begin. In October of 2012, the council approved $8,000 from tax increment financing money to

be used in the restoration of the dinky, specifically the front grille and hood. When the restoration is complete the replica Dinky will be located at the Grafton Visitor’s Center where a museum addition is going to be constructed. The city was issued a $650,000 community development grant from the Illinois Department of Natural Resources to construct the addition, which will also be home to relics and historic items of interest relating to the history of Grafton.

Top 10 money tips every freshman should know As college students head to campus for the fall semester, money management should be on their personal syllabus, according to Jersey State Bank. The bank has released 10 money-saving tips to help college students get an early start on securing their financial future. “It’s important for college students to take control of their financial future by saving wherever and whenever they can,” said Jim Hoefert, President/CEO. “They should treat personal finance like a second major and avoid unnecessary expenses now to reduce financial burden when they graduate.” Jersey State Bank offers the following tips to help college students form a strong foundation for money management:

as new ones. Entertain on a budget. Limit your “hanging out” fund. There are lots of fun activities to keep you busy in college and many are free for students. Get the most from your student ID. Use your meal plan or sample new recipes instead of eating out. Use only your bank’s ATMs. Avoid fees by using ATMs owned by or affiliated with your bank. If you must use an ATM that is not affiliated with your bank, take out larger withdrawals to avoid having to go back multiple times. Expect the unexpected. Things happen, and it's important that you are financially prepared when your car or computer breaks down or you have to buy an unexpected bus ticket home. You should start putting some money away immediately, no matter how small the amount. Ask. This is a learning experience, so if you need help, ask. Your parents or your bank are a good place to start, and remember—the sooner the better.

Create a budget. You’re an adult now and are responsible for managing your own finances. The first step is to create a realistic budget or plan and stick to it. Watch spending. Keep receipts and track spending in a notebook. Pace

spending and increase saving by cutting unnecessary expenses like eating out or shopping so that your money can last throughout the semester. Use credit wisely. Understand the responsibilities and benefits of credit. Use it, but don’t abuse it. How you handle your credit in college could affect you well after graduation. Shop around for a card that best suits your needs. Take advantage of your bank’s resources. Most banks offer online, mobile and text banking tools to manage your account night and day. Use these tools to check balances, pay bills, deposit checks and monitor transaction history. Lookout for money. There's a lot of money available for students -- you just have to look for it. Apply for scholarships, and look for student discounts or other deals. Buy used. Consider buying used books or ordering them online. Buying books can become expensive and often used books are in just as good of shape

IDNR volunteers recognized at Illinois State Fair The Illinois Department of Natural Resources (IDNR) will honor four individuals and four groups for exceptional volunteer service to the department and the people of the State of Illinois at the Illinois State Fair on Saturday, Aug. 16. The IDNR “Outstanding Volunteer of the Year Awards” are presented each year during a ceremony in Conservation World at the Illinois State Fairgrounds in Springfield. “The annual volunteer awards program is one of the ways in which we say ‘thank you’ to some of the dedicated individuals and organizations doing great work at our state parks, state museums, and all over outdoor Illinois,” said IDNR Director Marc Miller. “Whether helping youth and families learn about nature, instructing safe hunting practices, or welcoming visitors to our state parks and state museums, volunteers provide valuable service to their fellow citizens throughout Illinois.” This year’s volunteer recognition awards ceremony begins at 11 a.m. on Saturday, Aug. 16 at the Illinois Green Industry Association Amphitheater in Conservation World at the Illinois State Fairgrounds in Springfield. This year’s honorees are: Lyle Behl, Rochester Lyle Behl volunteers at Sangchris Lake State Park in Sangamon and Christian counties, focusing his volunteer efforts on the site’s equestrian campground and trail – and in the historic Taylor Cemetery located within the park. Mr. Behl has worked on cleanup and restoration of the cemetery, which dates to 1838, documenting grave sites and family histories of those buried there. Mr. Behl also coordinates a New Year’s Day trail ride at Sangchris Lake, and provides year-round monitoring of the equestrian trail to assist park staff. Mike Lauer, Gurnee Mike Lauer has served as a volunteer hunting safety instructor for the IDNR for 14 years, teaching at least six classes each year with a minimum of 40 students in each class. During his tenure as a safety education instructor, Mr. Lauer has certified more than 3,500 students who have completed the state Hunter Safety course. As a Lake County safety educator, Mr. Lauer holds his fellow instructors and his students to the highest standard of knowledge of hunting safety course material, while at the same time making the safety education experience fun and enjoyable. Jasmine House, Chatham Jasmine House, who began her volunteer service at the Illinois State Museum in Springfield as a Chatham Glenwood Middle School student, will enter the 9th grade as she has begun her second year of volunteer service at the Museum. Ms. House volunteers in the Mary Ann MacLean Play Museum, the State Museum’s hands-on children’s exhibit area. She is an active volunteer, helping visitors of all ages with Museum activities, and is particularly helpful in working with children. Jasmine House was the State Museum’s “Junior Volunteer of the Year” award winner in May. Dr. Clark Olson, Springfield Dr. Clark Olson has worked as a volunteer at the Illinois State Museum in Springfield since 2005, volunteering weekly in the Museum’s Changes Ice Age exhibit. As a retired environmental toxicologist, Dr. Olson has a passion for science and scientific literacy. Over the years, Dr. Olson has worked in the Museum’s Research and Collections Center library and helped at special events. He also supplies Museum staff with research material on the arts and science. Dr. Olson was presented the Illinois State Museum “Volunteer of the Year” award last spring. The “A Team” (ISM Research and Collections Center), Springfield The “A Team” at the Illinois State Museum’s Research and Collections Center in Springfield are Steve Kapple

of Rochester, Donald McWilliams of Springfield, William Rudolph of New Berlin, and William Weedman of Springfield. The “A Team” works to improve the Museum’s Anthropology collections. The four men provide a variety of assistance to Museum staff by improving box inventories, sorting and organizing unsorted collections, culling rough rock from collections, and working on other tasks. The “A Team” was selected as the Museum Research and Collections Center “Volunteer of the Year” award recipients in May. Friends of Moraine Hills State Park, McHenry Members of the Friends group provide a wide variety of services at Moraine Hills State Park and the nearby McHenry Dam park site in northeast Illinois. Group members assist park visitors and help staff with interpretive programs, tend native gardens, monitor bluebird trails, and assist with habitat restoration projects. The Friends of Moraine Hills established a 501 (c) (3) to raise funds through donations, memberships, and a 10K and half marathon They also fund grants to provide seeds and plants for habitat restoration, security cameras, a TV and DVD player for the park nature center, family fishing and archery programs, International Migratory Bird Day programs, bird houses, and other assistance for the park. Bob Vetter serves as the Friends of Moraine Hills State Park board chairperson, and Judy Wooderson serves a board vice-chairperson.

Kohl’s Associates in Action Committee, Ottawa The Kohl’s Associates in Action Committee, employees of the Kohl’s Distribution Center #890 in Ottawa, has provided service to Starved Rock State Park in La Salle County by working with the Starved Rock State Park Foundation. Under the leadership of Kohl’s supervisor Chad Kinzer, teams of Kohl’s employees assist on a number of projects at the park. Kohl’s associates helped with 20 volunteer events during a five-week period in 2013. Thanks to the work of the Kohl’s volunteers, the Starved Rock foundation was presented with a check for $12,000 for park programs and equipment, more than making up for losses of donations due to flooding which closed the Starved Rock Visitor Center and parking lot numerous times during the year. Piasa Palisades Group of the Sierra Club/The Nature Institute, Alton The Sierra Club and The Nature Institute have partnered to restore historical cabins in the upper group camp area of Pere Marquette State Park in Jersey County. The cabins were built by the Civilian Conservation Corps during the 1930s, and have been used for decades by scouts, church youth groups, civic organizations and families. The groups have partnered on an “Adopt-ACabin” program for restoration – one in 2012, three in 2013, and one during the spring of 2014, with a commitment to work on another cabin this fall. They have overhauled the cabins with siding, roofing, shutters, doors, windows and painting, raising more than $15,000 for materials and providing more than 2,200 volunteers work hours on the cabins.

Helping Children through Pain

Whether they’re visiting a physician to receive a routine shot or undergoing treatment, it can be difficult for parents to watch their children experience pain. Here are some tips from the American Medical Association for helping your little ones cope:

Stay close during the pain. Regardless of their age, your presence is comforting to your child.

Make contact with your child. If you can, hold or touch your child throughout the process.

Take notes from nature: Some animals, such as kangaroo mothers, carry their young close to them. If you have an infant in pain, hold your baby close to your chest wearing only a diaper. This tactic is used worldwide and research shows that it can reduce pain during a procedure.

Offer distractions. Focus the attention on things your child enjoys to help them relax. Some helpful diversions include singing a song together, reading a book out loud or telling their favorite story. Or, give them a playful stuffed toy that also helps ease pain, such as the Thermal-Aid Zoo animals, which offers a 100 percent natural, therapeutic heating and cooling treatment.

Be truthful. Tell your child up front the procedure will cause discomfort but you will be there for support.

FAMILY FEATURES

hether it’s sharp or dull, off and on or constant, pain can be a real pain at times. With the ability to interrupt time with family, lessen productivity at work and create many sleepless nights, understanding the source of your pain is essential for relief.

The ache and its sources

As a source of discomfort, it may be hard to view pain in a positive light. But this natural, protective tool is used by the body as an alert of present or potential harm to tissues. While pain usually ceases once the stimulus has been removed and the damage to tissue has healed, there Important are many different factors involved for the amount of Questions time the process takes.

Due to its What treatments have you lengthy nature, chronic pain used? Have you experienced can often lead to emotional any side effects? issues, such as depression and stress, which can exacerbate the healing process. The best way to identify chronic pain is to be aware of its symptoms. This pain is persistent and can often be described as aching, burning or shooting. The area where the pain is located is often defined by patients as sore, tight or stiff. Because this type of pain can affect so many areas of life, many in the health community recommend a comprehensive mind and body approach for its management. This can include medication, injections, acupuncture and other holistic treatments. Here are some of the common types of chronic pain and a few ways to end the discomfort, so you can get back to enjoying life.

Back and neck pain

What causes nearly 40 percent of missed work days in the U.S. and is the fifth most common cause for doctor visits? Running from the top of the neck to the bottom of the spine, back pain is a common complaint among

many people. While back pain is typically divided into the most common areas of neck, middle back, lower back and tailbone, its symptoms can also be felt in other parts of the body, including arms, hands, legs and feet. Some of the common remedies for back and neck pain include everything from massage therapy, acupressure, acupuncture, back conditioning exercises and medication. Due to the controversy surrounding the last remedy, many patients prefer a more natural way to ease back pain with hot and cold therapy, such as Thermal-Aid Large Sectional Pack, which helps eliminate swelling and eases pain on any area of the back.

Headache pain

Though there are many factors that can trigger its unpleasant feeling; headaches can range from a minor sinus headache to a severe migraine. Though it may feel that your brain is the source for the pain, the discomfort is actually caused by a disturbance to the structures surrounding it, and not within the tissue itself. Some headache symptoms can be as minor as sensitivity to light or noise to the extreme conditions of fever and vomiting. While most physicians typically recommend the use of over-the-counter medications, there are also new natural treatments available. One natural product, the Thermal-Aid Headache Relief System provides fast, safe pain relief and is clinically proven to relieve headache pain in over 90 percent of sufferers. If you suffer from persistent body and head pains, it’s important to understand the source of the pain. For more ways to stop the pain, visit http://thermalaidproducts.com.

The key to mealtime success

FAMILY FEATURES

hen it comes to mealtime, a well-stocked pantry can be the difference between culinary success and a dinner dud. Too often we contemplate what to make for dinner, only to realize that we don’t have the right ingredients on hand or the food in the fridge has spoiled. But with a pantry full of canned foods, a delicious and easy, homemade meal is just minutes away. It’s no secret that canned foods are convenient, but did you know that cans are also one of the best ways to get food from the farm to your family’s table? Canned fruits and vegetables are picked and packed when they’re at their peak of ripeness and nutrition, sealing in their freshness and flavor, so you can feel confident about serving them anytime.

Less waste, more meals

And if you find that you’re often throwing away fresh food, you’re not alone. According to a recent study, most Americans throw away spoiled fresh fruits and vegetables two times a week on average, wasting a staggering 15 to 20 percent of fresh produce each year. By keeping your pantry stocked with essential canned ingredients, you know the food you purchase won’t go to waste, saving you money and helping reduce your impact on the environment.

Coach Jacobs hopes for ‘perfect storm of success’ Jersey Fourth-year coach Community Jerseyville drives enthusiasm of team into 2014 High kicks season off 2014 golf campaign DAN BRANNAN Jersey County Journal

Davis is Panthers’ leader in twoday Alton Tee-Off Classic

The atmosphere around Jersey Community High School practices is motivating, even with temperatures rising way above a 100-degree heat index this week. Jersey Community High School’s Dave Jacobs is in his fourth season and each year the expectations of the program seem to be building. The team was 6-4 last year and 10-1 the previous year. “Things are going great,” Jacobs said on the practice field at the Don Snyders Sports Complex on Tuesday afternoon. “Once we started practice, things have been going really smooth. We hope to keep building on the past three years.” Jacobs exudes enthusiasm with not only his players, but with parents and the public. It is evident coaching football and living in Jerseyville are two things he sincerely loves. “I think this is one of the best football coaching jobs in Southern Illinois,” he said of being the Jersey High football coach. “We have a very supportive superintendent, principal, administration, and the kids we get are all phenomenal. The Junior Panthers program is also a key.” Jacobs says he sees “a perfect

storm of success” brewing with the Jerseyville grid program. “Our main goal is to have a team our community is proud of,” he said. “We stress to the kids the importance of respect, sacrifice and doing positive things for others. It is something we want our community to rally around and come out and support us.”

Jerseyville will have scrimmages for not only the Junior Panthers but also teams through varsity starting at 5:30 p.m. Friday at Don Snyders Sports Complex. Jerseyville opens its season at 7 p.m. Friday, Aug. 29, hosting Granite City. For Jacobs, coaching at JCHS is truly what he calls “heaven on earth.”

“I love my job,” he said. “Our Superintendent, Dr. Lori Hopkins, and Principal Lisa Schuenke are totally supportive. I can’t wait to get to practice every day.”

Dan Brannan/Jersey County Journal

Jersey Community High's Zachary Droege eyes a putt during golf action Tuesday at Spencer T. Olin Golf Course in Alton.

DAN BRANNAN Jersey County Journal Jersey Community High School opened its 2014 golf campaign with a pair of 18-hole outings on Monday and Tuesday in Madison County and both days senior Blake Davis led the efforts. The Panthers took part in the two-day annual Alton TeeOff Classic Golf Tournament at Spencer T. Olin Golf Club on Tuesday and East Alton-Wood River Tournament at Belk Park on Monday. Edwardsville captured the Tuesday tournament with a score of 319, with Marquette Catholic second with a score of 335. Davis shot an 87 for Jersey in the tournament Tuesday; followed by Brendan Loellke, 90, Matt Evans, 92, Zack Droege, 100, and Jayce Heberling, 105. Jersey boys golf coach Bryan Brown said he thought the tournament play at Alton and Wood River gave him and his players an opportunity to test the waters and see what their strengths are and areas needed for improvement for the rest of the season. “We were able to see how you stand against the other teams in the conference (Mississippi Valley),” he said. “Civic Memorial will be one of the teams to beat. There was great competition here.” Playing 36 holes competitively over two days was a grueling test for the team at the startt of the season, Brown said. Marquette Catholic’s Michael Holtz and Springfield’s Sam Funderberg each shot a 75 and tied for the top spot on Tuesday.

Calhoun defensive coordinator Nelson in fight for his life DAN BRANNAN Jersey County Journal Calhoun High School defensive coordinator Tim Nelson today lives life with the four F’s – faith, family, friends and football - as his priorities. Since late last football season, Nelson has combined a fifth F to the mix – fighting for his life – with three cancer discoveries. He endured 36 chemotherapy treatments, 28 radiology treatments and three surgeries. Last high school football season, Nelson was the Dupo head coach and his team was riding a 4-4 won-loss record. He was driving home from practice at Dupo as he noticed he was bleeding and it just continued to worsen. When he attempted to walk in his front door, he collapsed to the ground.

A neighbor helped him get medical attention; when he was first found he had a terribly low blood pressure of 80 over 50. And his fight then became for his life, not winning football games and making the playoffs. Nelson was a member of the Calhoun Class 1A state football championship team in 1992. He had to resign from his position at Dupo and wanted to return to coaching this fall. His close friend Aaron Elmore, the head coach at Calhoun, asked him to join his staff as defensive coordinator and he agreed. Nelson takes each day one at a time and tries to make the best of every opportunity. Recently, Nelson had perhaps two of the most meaningful days of his life. He was asked to pay a visit to Cardinals pitcher Jason Motte at Busch Stadium. He met with him at the clubhouse for about an hour and watch a game. Motte, a Branch Rickey Humanitarian Award winner, has a cancer foundation dedicated to striking out the horrible disease. The two connected on Twitter and

have become close in a very short time. Motte now communicates with Nelson multiple times a week. Asked what he talked to Motte about at Busch Stadium, Nelson responded, “We talked about life. It was really light hearted. He showed us videos of his daughter and wanted to know more about what I did.” While he was at Busch Stadium, the Calhoun assistant coach walked away for a moment and when he returned he was escorted to meet a special person – former Cardinals manager Tony LaRussa, who was then with Motte. “I was nervous and couldn’t believe it,” Nelson said of meeting LaRussa. “He said he knew a lot of what I had been through by talking to Jason Motte and he wanted me to know I was an inspiration to not only my family but others who have the disease. He told me to continue to be an inspiration and not give up.” The Calhoun coach had his second big surprise from Motte last week when the Cardinals reliever made a surprise visit to the Warriors’ football

practice. “He texted me Tuesday night and said he wanted to see me in my environment, so I met him at the McDonald’s in Alton and I drove him to Calhoun. He spoke to the high school kids individually and also the seventh- and eighth-grade Calhoun Crush team and coaches,” Nelson said. Nelson was especially appreciative of what Motte did and it will leave a lasting impression with him and the Calhoun players. For now, the Calhoun defensive coordinator said he just wants to be “normal.” “I want to live my life and normal to me is coaching and letting the kids know that despite what happens in your life you can overcome,” he said. “If I can inspire them, that is great. I am trying to live my life and show people things might be negative, but you can push on. I am just trying to give back.” dbrannan@campbellpublications. net and danbrannannews on Twitter.
