Former SW, JCHS coach faces child sex charges By ROBERT LYONS Jersey County Journal A former school board president and high school basketball coach for two local school districts has been charged with sexual abuse of a child. Rodney Bailey, 41, faces three counts of aggravated criminal sexual abuse of a victim under the age of 13. According to charges filed Monday in Jersey County Circuit Court, on three separate occasions in the summer of 1997, Bailey allegedly engaged in illegal sexual acts with a minor boy for his own gratification. Jersey County State's Attorney Ben Goetten said the case can still be prosecuted even though the alleged crime took place 17 years ago. "While I feel there should never be a statute of limitations period on child

sexual abuse cases, there is a period of time for which these cases are viable. Fortunately, in this particular case there was an extension of that period due to the age of the victim at the time of the abuse," Goetten said. "The state legislature needs to take a serious look at extending these statutory periods or eliminating them altogether." The state's attorney said he hopes to bring closure for the alleged victim through the prosecution of the case. "I would just like to comment on the unbelievable courage of the victim in this case," Goetten said. "This young adult has carried quite a burden for many years and is just a solid individual." Each count against Bailey is a class 2 felony, carrying with it between three and seven years in the department of corrections.

BEST

On Tuesday afternoon, authorities executed a search warrant on The Church of Latter Day Saints in O'Fallon in relation to the case. However, Goetten said the church is not being investigated criminally. "Our interest in obtaining records from the church was to see if the defendant made any admissions as far as the allegations outlined in the criminal complaint," he said. Sgt. Chris Hoffstot of the Illinois State Police said the investigation will continue. "Hopefully, it's not going to be based solely on the witness statements, but we're still trying to gather additional evidence," Hoffstot said, noting if there are other victims, now is the time to come forward. "Each case is different. But, our obvious concern is he had access to many children

due to his coaching position. Our fear would be that there are other victims." Bailey, of Medora, served as the Jersey Community High School boys head basketball coach between 1999 and the 2004-05 seasons. He was also a basketball coach for the Southwestern School District, serving as an assistant at various grade levels. He resigned from his most recent coaching position in April. Bailey was also elected to two terms on the Southwestern School Board, most recently serving as board president, but resigned in August 2013 without explanation. His term was not scheduled to end until April 2015. Superintendents from Jersey and Southwestern did not want to comment on the case, but both issued statements pointing out Bailey is in

Praise Patrol pays tribute to community members

LOOKERS IN TOWN

By BOB CROSSEN Jersey County Journal Falling in line with its Just Be Jersey brand, local teachers took to the streets Aug. 5 to praise community members for their selflessness toward others and community outreach. Erica Smith, former family and consumer sciences teacher, said Superintendent Dr. Lori Hopkins requested she find a way to get teachers and the community “fired up” for the school year. “I thought we could start with the community and take some video footage to show them on the first day of school, to show them about how our community is fired up,” Smith said. “It’s not really just in the school. Just Be Jersey is a community effort.” Throughout the day Tuesday, Smith and a group of teachers from the district calling themselves the Praise Patrol traveled around to different businesses to celebrate members

Bray Drug closes after 51 years By BOB CROSSEN Jersey County Journal After more than 50 years, a Jerseyville pharmacy has closed its doors upon the retirement of its last pharmacist. Rupert Greeling, Bray Drug pharmacist, has worked for the business for more than 45 years. During the past few, he said he has been seeking a buyer for the business, who would continue the long pharmacy tradition in the building. “I couldn’t find anybody that wanted to buy the store as an ongoing business,” Greeling said.

John Bray bought the business in 1963, Greeling said. Prior to Bray owning the pharmacy, it was part of a small regional chain with pharmacies in Godfrey and Granite City – among other places – under the name Reeses, advertisements for which Greeling said he’s found dating back to the 1930s. The end of the 100 block of North State Street where Bray Drug is located has housed a pharmacy for more than 100 years, he added. But finding a buyer was problematic.

Smith said the group chose Ridenbark because of his caring nature and unfettered friendliness. She said he is almost like a local celebrity. “I feel like everyone kind of knows who he is. Even if you don’t know his name, you wave at him up town,” Smith said, adding he’s supportive of candidates for local office and often gets his picture with them. “He’s just being Jersey.” Ridenbark is only one of 13 people who were

praised Tuesday, however, as the group thanked community members like Carole Cotner, Just Be Jersey creator, Stan Sinclair of Sinclair Foods, Linda Crotchett, former county clerk, and Anita Driver, Jerseyville Library director, to name a few. Smith said she was creating a video with each of the individuals who were also presented with a giant check stating they are priceless while others blew whistles and hollered in appreciation.

Greeling said he was still a pharmacy school student when he started at Bray Drug Store. During summer break, he walked into the store to see if John Bray, the owner of the business after which it was named, could use some help. “I came down to see if John needed help for the summer, and I’ve been here ever since,” Greeling said. During the time he’s worked at Bray, he said he’s had many good employees and several of them worked for the business a lengthy period of time, including one who’s been with the business for the past 16 years. Although the employees changed over the years, many of the customers have remained the same, Greeling said, greeting each patron by name as they entered the door. Customer service and interaction was a source of pride for the business that often catered to generations of the same family. That community, he said, is what he’ll miss most. “We have lots of third and fourth generation families,” Greeling said. “A lot of them I knew from when they were little kids on.” But the job was not without its challenges. The state and federal governments tacked on more and more regulations over the years, by which all pharmacies must abide, creating a struggle for smaller pharmacies. The money patrons pay for pharmaceuticals is also sent to insurance companies or other third parties before it reaches the pharmacy’s books. Those companies decide how much the pharmacy gets paid, and in many cases the money isn’t sent until two weeks after the transaction. “Every year, they just cut a little more and a little more,” Greeling

She has also been ordered to pay restitution in the full amount of $442,211.91 to her former employer. Kanallakan’s prison sentence will be followed by three years of mandatory supervised release.

Jerseyville, Illinois

By BoB CRoSSEn Jersey County Journal A worker’s compensation trust’s recent billing habits have local school districts searching for new options and dropping their contracts with the company entirely. During a meeting June 25, the Calhoun Community Unit School Board approved to enter into a contract with Mississippi Valley Insurance Cooperative (MissVIC) rather than remain with Workers Compensation Self Insurance Trust (WCSIT). The main reason to change providers was due to a series of retroactive bills from the company, meaning it was billing the district for payments as far back as seven years ago. “We received what they called an assessment for claims made back in the 2008-2009 school year and 2009-2010 school year,” Unit 40 Superintendent Kate Sievers said, noting the assessment was for approximately $26,000. Jersey Community Unit School District 100 business administrator Mary Schell said the Jersey district was also struck by retroactive bills for the same years that totaled around $178,000. She said such an expense is difficult to plan around because it is not clear that it is going to be coming. “They can retrobill me for years since then, which has me greatly concerned for what’s to come. … When you get a $20 bill you can handle that. When you get bill to the tune of $180,000 you don’t expect, how do you ever budget for something like that?” Schell said, noting the district will likely pursue a termination of its contract with WCSIT in 2015. Schell said the expense can be paid through its tort immunity fund – dealing with insurance and liability – but noted the district tries to

remain conservative with that area of the budget. “When you think about $180,000 and you think about how many teacher’s salaries that could pay and then you think about the number of teachers we had to RIF (reduction in force), $180,000 becomes huge,” Schell said. The incentive to remain with WCSIT allows for the payment of the assessment over the course of three years, which would be a little more than $8,000 for Calhoun Unit 40 during that period or closer to $60,000 for Unit 100. However, by leaving the contract early, districts must pay the full sum in a single lump. Sievers said this puts added strain onto the district’s finances as the $26,000 amount could be better utilized by the district. “This has a huge impact on the school district. That’s like a first year teacher’s salary,” Sievers said. “If you’re a larger school district, [it’s] maybe not [as big an impact], but we need every penny we can get.” The billing for years so far back is allowable due to the contracted agreement of all districts that are a part of the co-op. Sievers sought legal counsel on the matter only to learn the contract gave WCSIT the authority to retroactively bill its consumers. Calhoun Unit 40 and Jersey Unit 100 aren’t the only districts ending their contracts with WCSIT. Brussels Community Unit School District 42 also terminated its agreement with the worker’s compensation insurance company. Superintendent Mark Martin said it was retroactively billed for $11,000 in an assessment for previous years, as well. He said the billing did not sit well with the board, which ultimately terminated the contract with WCSIT. For a district of Unit 42’s size, he

said the bill may be smaller, but the expense is a large hit to the district’s overall budget. “It just seems like lately we keep getting hit with bills,” Martin said. “It definitely does not help. Things are so doggone tight right now – not with just us; everybody – you don’t need these surprise, out-of-the-blue bills.” He said districts do their best to budget and anticipate their expenses, but bills like that from WCSIT can throw a wrench into those plans. The Unit 42 board approved an agreement with Hartford for its worker’s compensation insurance. Martin said the district lost its catastrophic insurance as a result of leaving WCSIT, as well, and said the board is still looking at its options in regards to such an insurance plan. Carrollton Community Unit School District 1 also had similar retroactive bills to pay for WCSIT. WCSIT still has the authority to bill district’s retroactively for services it rendered while the district was under contract, meaning that even though the agreements have been terminated, districts may still receive bills in following years from the trust. For Calhoun, MissVIC offered a higher amount of coverage – $25 million – for around the same price as WCSIT. The cost was approximately $66,000 for MissVIC compared to WCSIT’s $76,000. That expense is negotiable. During the June 25 meeting, Sievers said the district uses MissVIC for its health insurance and notes the worker’s compensation pool has an $11 million reserve, an advantage MissVIC has over other insurance agencies. That reserve is used to absorb some of the increases in costs to insurance during problem years, she added at the June meeting.

said. “Profitability has gone down.” As more rules and regulations were handed down, he said the pharmacist’s job became less about filling prescriptions and working with customers and more about keeping up with the ever-changing rules of operation. Larger companies can afford legal teams to keep everything on track, while small independents struggle to keep up, he added. Despite the changing times, he said he still enjoyed working at the store while seeing a lot of the same faces. “We’ve had really good customers over the years. A majority of our customers have just been a pleasure to have. I’ll miss the customers, just not the other issues that keep getting

worse every year with all the regulations,” Greeling said. “I want to thank our many customers for their patronage over the years.” Those who regularly visited Bray Drug Store for their pharmacy needs had their information transferred to Walgreens in Jerseyville after Bray closed its doors for the last time July 31. Customers of Bray Drug have a choice of which pharmacy to use, and the business they choose may request the pharmacy information from Walgreens to fill prescriptions. All of the medical supplies and pharmaceuticals were purchased by Walgreens following drug regulations overseeing such a transfer of product.

Brighton man killed in interstate accident Staff REPoRT Jersey County Journal The investigation into an accident that caused the death of a 20-yearold Brighton man is ongoing. Jacob L.

By BoB CRoSSen Jersey County Journal State Street Bar & Grill is aiming to be a destination for families and friends looking for good food and a place to watch their favorite sport in Jerseyville. Todd Iverson, State Street Bar & Grill owner, previously owned a restaurant in Bloomington for more than a decade, and although he didn’t plan on opening another business in the food industry, the opportunity to do so was hard to pass up. “This building became available, and there’s not a guy around that wouldn’t want to own the corner bar,” Iverson, who grew up in Wisconsin, said. He said he’s approaching this business – located at 118 South State St. –with a philosophy focused on a family-friendly atmosphere that’s both safe and clean. Around 15 flat screen televisions – most around 60 inches in size – line the walls of the restaurant with different sports action on each set. He said he wants the place to be a destination for those who love sports while still catering to other customers. “Jerseyville doesn’t have anything like what we have. We have the NFL package. We have a bar that’s dedicated to families and sports. We’re not going to have a blaring juke box when the Cardinals game is on,” Iverson said. But just as important, he said, is the food being served. In opening the new store, he brought some of the food items for which his restaurant in Bloomington, Supergyros, was known. Among those items is a foot long hotdog called Dogzilla and its “brother,” as Iverson puts it, Bratzilla. He’ll also be serving Chicago-style nachos, gyros and baclava. Although the food at most bars can be greasy, Iverson said he aims to keep the food at State Street Bar & Grill leaner and healthier than what people may normally be used to at a sports bar.

Lisa Wright, middle, and James Bannister, right, ponder choices on the menu at State Street Bar and Grill Tuesday afternoon in Jerseyville while Chasity Boomershine, left, explains finer points of the offerings to the two. State Street Bar and Grill held a soft opening July 30 and will have its grand opening Friday, Aug. 8.

Burgers are short rib meat on a brioche bun, and the restaurant will have a salad bar devoid of iceberg lettuce, focusing more on Romaine, kale and spinach. “Iceberg lettuce, if you know anything about lettuce, has no nutritional value. You’re eating water,” Iverson said, noting the veggies in the salad bar at State Street will be fresh. “It’s all healthy at the salad bar.” The main attraction, however, has been the pork fritters which are hand-cut and hand-battered and fried in the store. Iverson said the food options have been a hit since the store had its soft opening July 30, adding the ultimate goal is to provide an enjoyable place for customers, be that as a family, individually or in groups. And he has prepared a special room specifically for groups to entertain themselves or hold business meetings. The Dugout, as Iverson calls it, is a private room near the front of the restaurant that can be rented for parties, meetings or other gatherings. The three televisions in the

Dugout are linked via bluetooth, which would allow images from a laptop to be displayed on each one for presentations, photo slideshows, personal videos or other desires. He said larger private parties are also welcome to approach the business about renting the space for a group, adding the bar and grill will host a 90th birthday this year with around 60 people coming to the celebration. Despite the many elements of the business, Iverson said the restaurant offers some things that are difficult to find in the area, including some of its beer selections like Urban Chestnut and Boulevard Ale on tap. It also offers a martini menu, in addition to wine and other mixed drinks. State Street Bar & Grill is open from 10 a.m. to 11 p.m. Monday through Thursday as well as Sunday, and from 10 a.m. to 12 a.m. Friday and Saturday.

City seeks solution to deteriorating culvert By RoBeRT LYonS Jersey County Journal The city of Jerseyville is looking to make permanent repairs to a large culvert on Fairgrounds Avenue, which has become structurally unsound. At Tuesday night’s city council meeting, aldermen and visitors watched a presentation that detailed the deteriorated condition of a 72-inch culvert running under the roadway at the city’s north plant pump station. Portions of the bottom of the pipe has developed holes and the ground under the pipe has eroded. “Water is actually dropping below the culvert,” City Engineer Bob Kincade said. “We’re getting sink holes appearing just along the edges of the culvert, at the top.” The six-foot culvert is said to have been installed more than 40 years ago, outliving the 20- to 30-year average life expectancy of the steel piping. Street department Superintendent Jeff Kadell said the situation is becoming a safety concern. “Heavy traffic comes down that road,” Kadell said, noting the roadway is starting to crack in the area of the culvert. The council approved a $35,000 solution, which will fill in the eroded area under the culvert and then put a concrete coating around the inside of the existing pipe. Though the company hired to perform the work, Centripipe, stated the fix should

last at least 50 years, Kincade said he believes the concrete reinforced culvert could easily go more than 100 years. The other option for the city was to remove the existing culvert and replace it with a new one. The cost of materials alone would have been more than $37,000, plus the cost of labor, according to Kincade. Also at Tuesday night’s meeting, the council approved advertising for bids on a 1993 Chevrolet Blazer owned by the Jerseyville Police Department. The vehicle will be parked outside of city hall for potential buyers to look at. Police Chief Brad Blackorby said the department will take bids for two weeks and it will be a silent bidding process. Pam Sanford, Jerseyville resident, asked the council why the city stopped offering free dump permits to veterans who are 100 percent disabled. Commissioner Glen Ketchum said there were some issues with providing proof of a disability, and other issues involving people exploiting the system. “We just put a stop to giving any kind of free sticker to virtually anyone,” Ketchum said. “Some people who said they were 100 percent disabled were taking their trash out there and they were loading two or three other people’s trash in their vehicle.” In other action, the council: n Approved the list of bills totaling $189,745.41. n Approved the minutes of the previous meeting.

Accusation against coach, board member unsettling

Publisher and Editor: Julie Boren

The Issue: Local leader accused of abusing a child. Our View: Status of alleged perpetrator makes case more troubling.

publisher@campbellpublications.net

Regional Editor: Robert Lyons

former Jersey superintendent recently said, “I hate to see the world revealed to children. Innocence is beautiful but extremely fragile.”

It is always sad when a case of abuse of a child emerges in the news. Unfortunately, it seems to be popping up more and more. However, when the alleged perpetrator is a man the community put their trust in to help guide their children, it is troubling on a heightened level. As a former high school and middle school basketball coach in both districts, and former school board president, Rodney Bailey had established himself as a leader throughout the communities that make up the Jersey and Southwestern school districts. It is unsettling to think the morals, ethics and personal conduct of those we put our trust in may need to be questioned. We assume their priorities are the same as ours, which is protecting and helping grow our children. That trust is part of the basic foundation upon which our society is built. Because of Bailey’s affiliation with so many local sports teams, many of which were composed of children near the same age as the alleged victim, it certainly raises a question as to whether other children may have been exposed to his alleged ill behavior. His local involvement with athletic programs is documented to have lasted at least 15 years. The incidents in which he is accused occurred in 1997. If there have been other incidences, then this is certainly the time to bring them forward to our local authorities. Because the victim in this case was a minor at the time of the incident, the name of the victim was withheld from public record, providing confidentiality. If there are other victims, hopefully knowing their identities will be protected will be encouragement enough to speak out. The only comfort that can be taken from all this is that even if many years go by, our authorities will dedicate the resources necessary to pursue justice for the victims and for our community.

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.

Save your favorite tomato seeds B

y this time of the year every gardener has begun to enjoy and appreciate wonderful homegrown tomatoes. There is nothing better than the flavor of tomatoes from a summer garden. We all look forward to that first tomato of the season for use in tasty salads, on bacon and tomato sandwiches, and other wonderful dishes. If you have ever grown a particularly tasty variety in your garden and wanted to save the seeds for the next season, here are things to consider. First of all you may say: “Why save them? I can just buy new seeds or plants next year.” This is true, but many of the tomato plants available in garden centers are hybrid tomatoes. Hybrid tomatoes are created when a pure parent plant is crossed with another pure parent. That means that the resulting seeds from the cross will not breed true. In order to save seeds you can grow an heirloom tomato such as “Rutgers” which is readily available in the spring as a plant or seed in our area. But, there are many wonderful heirlooms to try and most gardeners agree that the flavor of an heirloom is incomparable to a hybrid. Hybrids are often bred for size, color, shelf life, etcetera, rather than taste. Plus, heirloom tomatoes exist in many colors other than the well-known red. I grow red, pink, purple, white, yellow, orange, stripe and green tomatoes. Yes, I grow a tomato that is green when it is ripe. I grew up watching my grandmother

save seeds from her favorite plants in the garden. Many heirlooms are rare and available in limited quantities, so saving seeds like Grandma just makes sense when you find a variety you love. Saving tomato seeds is a relatively easy process because they are essentially self-pollinating due to the structure of the flower. Occasionally bees can pollinate tomato blossoms, but this is not difficult to address. First of all, it is best to plant three or four of the same variety next to one another in your garden. If you have a large garden area and want to try more than one variety, plant three or four of another type in a different part of the garden. This way, if bees do visit your plants, they are less likely to be cross-pollinated since the bees will have several plants close together to keep them busy. Another method to prevent cross-pollination is to bag a cluster of blossoms on the plant. I am sure you have seen the cute little bags used for sachets in the hobby center, these work perfectly to isolate tomato blossoms in a small garden when you wish to save seeds from more than one type of tomato. Just place the bag over the blossom cluster and leave until small fruits begin to form. Remove the bag and mark the stem by loosely tying a ribbon or piece of yarn on the stem so you will know which tomatoes to harvest for seeds. When it comes time to harvest, you should select fully ripened fruits to insure the seeds are mature.

Next cut the Guest fruit open and scoop out the Column seeds and pulp BY BONNA from the flesh. DOWNEY You may mix seeds from several fruits of the same variety. Place seeds in a glass jar and add a little water, about a half cup. The next step is to place the jar out of the sun and let it set for a few days. Stir the mixture every so often. Eventually fermentation will begin to take place. A slight odor may be detected during fermentation. Fermentation is not absolutely necessary but serves to separate the seeds from the jelly-like pulp, making them easier to dry. You will know when it is time to retrieve the seeds because they will fall to the bottom of the jar. When this happens, add water to the jar and pour off the liquid from the seeds. Do this a few times until the seeds are clean. Now you should spread the seeds on a screen or a paper towel to dry. Once the seeds are completely dry they can be stored in a container, I prefer a paper envelope. Tomato seeds remain viable for several years. To extend their life you can place them in a refrigerator until planting time. Plant your seeds indoors eight to 12 weeks before you transplant them to your garden in May. –––––––––––––––––––––––––––– n Bonna Downey is a master

Becoming an expert in what’s real For years I have followed the “experts” carefully and faithfully… designers, appraisers, stylists, and the like. Looking at me and around my home you may not have ever really realized that about me before, but it’s true, and it has always been a fascinating study. Authenticity has become such an integral part of my personal mantra more so now than ever; it is something for which I consciously strive in everything I do. However, living with your authentic self can be hard to do if you are surrounded by an environment full of things that are not necessarily you, but rather someone else’s idea of who you should be. And while I once thought the “experts” knew best in how I should present myself, my family, and my home, I had an epiphany during this recent move: The only true “expert” regarding my life is me. Blogger Julia Manuel maintains an online presence where she shares simple wisdom for complex lives (www.tinybuddha.com), which I came across during the moving process that helped guide me back to authenticity. On her blog, Manuel shares a few rules on her site that she deems essential for living authentically, and I believe every one of them can help keep each of us “real.” My favorites on her list are rule #2 and #3.

A bout letters to

the editor

Rule #2 on Manuel’s list is, “Stop trying to win the Oscar. Essentially, stop playing roles. The first question people ask in the D.C. area is, ‘What do you do?’ My answer is, ‘Hi. I’m Julie,’ which usually prompts, ‘Yeah, but what do you do?’ My next answer is, ‘Well, today I took the dog for a walk and had a nice nap.’ I’ve stopped being the consultant, the dog owner, the victim, or the gardener and started just being Julie.” I can’t wait to start applying that rule. And although I am now living in the DC metro area, I encountered the same kind of banter back home in Jersey County and throughout the Midwest just as much. Meanwhile, Manuel’s Rule #3 hit home hard right when I needed it to. As I was trying to imagine how 46 years of living was going to fit into a 14-foot U-Haul truck, I read her third rule, “Get rid of the baggage… We tend to live excessively, and it’s liberating to not let material possessions define you.” Moving almost 900 miles forces lots of decisions and choices on you, on every scale imaginable. Space on the moving truck, labor costs, how easy it was going to be to carry it up three flights of steps into our new home, available “real estate” in our new home for each item when it got to where it was going, where it came from to begin

with and how I Guest ended up with Column it, what memories moved with BY MELISSA it and within MESKE it…these were all things to consider when making these decisions and choices. But most importantly, I had to take a very serious assessment of me and my husband and determine, “Is this item truly authentic? Does it say what we want it to say about our lives, our family, our home?” Boy did I ever dispose of things! And just as Manuel had written, it was a very liberating experience. I don’t imagine we’ll be featured in an upcoming issue of HGTV Magazine, Architectural Digest, or Style anytime soon, but our new home is now much more focused on what’s important to my husband and me, our family, and those memories we like to live within every day. It’s real, it’s authentic, it’s “expertly” ours…

August is National Immunization Awareness Month - Vaccines are not just for kids Illinois among states showing significant increases in vaccination

Immunizations are one of the top 10 public health accomplishments of the 20th Century according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). During August, National Immunization Awareness Month, Illinois Department of Public Health Director Dr. LaMar Hasbrouck encourages people to speak with their health care provider, not only about vaccines needed for children, but for adults as well. “Vaccines are an important step in protecting against serious, and sometimes deadly, diseases,” said Dr. Hasbrouck. “Vaccines are recommended throughout our lives. They are proven to protect children from 14 serious diseases before they turn two years old, adolescents from cancer caused by certain types of HPV, young adults from meningitis, people of all ages from flu, and aging populations from various illnesses.” Each week during National Immunization Awareness Month, IDPH will highlight vaccinations for a different population on Facebook at IDPH.Illinois.

While immunizations have significantly reduced the incidence of many serious infectious diseases, vaccination rates for some diseases are not meeting national public health goals. However, Illinois is making strides in increasing vaccination coverage. Illinois is one of only five states that showed a significant increase (12 percent) in one or more doses of HPV (human papillomavirus) vaccine coverage in girls from 2012 to 2013, and one of only four states with a significant increase (almost 13 percent) in three or more doses of HPV vaccine. Illinois has undertaken several initiatives that have contributed to increased HPV vaccination coverage, such as working with health care partners to discuss and facilitate HPV vaccination health promotion activities and interventions, providing physician HPV vaccination training, and conducting provider assessment and feedback visits focused on increasing vaccination coverage. To help prevent illness and outbreaks due to vaccine-preventable diseases, Illinois is implementing

new immunization requirements for the 2014-2015 school year. Beginning this year, children entering school at any grade level (kindergarten through 12) need to show proof of having received two doses each (instead of just one) of rubella and mumps vaccines. In addition, any child entering kindergarten, sixth grade or ninth grade for the first time shall show proof of having received two doses of varicella (chicken pox) vaccine. For the following school year, 2015-2016, students will need to show proof of having received a meningococcal vaccination, something that is currently not required. For school entrance, students must show proof of diphtheria, pertussis, tetanus, polio, measles, mumps, rubella, haemophilus influenza type b, hepatitis b, varicella and pneumococcal (depending on age) vaccinations. More information about immunizations, including vaccination schedules, visit www.idph.state. il.us/about/shots.htm.

Evans campaign headquarters vandalized Candidate for state representative Josh Evans, a Jerseyville native and Iraq War veteran, had his headquarters vandalized over the weekend. The surrounding offices and buildings appeared undamaged. “This is really troublesome but not surprising. Unfortunately, this isn’t the first incident of vandalism. Several weeks ago someone vandalized my car while I was walking door to door in Jacksonville,” Evans stated. “I have also had several supporters report incidents of intimidation by those who oppose my candidacy.” Evans has maintained his campaign headquarters in Jerseyville for several months. Just this past week,

appointed state representative C.D. Davidsmeyer opened an office less than one block away from Evans’ campaign headquarters. “It is sad to see politics degenerate to this level. This incident shows a lack of respect not only for those supporting me, but all those who want a peaceful democratic process. Sad when you think about it,” Evans commented. “The people in this area deserve better, and I can promise folks that I will not stoop to these tactics. We will continue to run a clean and positive campaign focused on the issues because the people in this area deserve better,” Evans continued.

ISP announce Roadside Safety Check to be conducted The Illinois State Police (ISP), District 18, will conduct Roadside Safety Checks (RSC) during the month of August. The ISP has zero tolerance for impaired driving in Illinois. Officers working this detail will be watchful for drivers who are operating vehicles in an unsafe manner, driving with a suspended or revoked driver’s license, transporting open alcoholic beverages, or Driving Under the Influence (DUI). Alcohol and drug impairment is a significant factor in nearly 40 percent of all fatal motor vehicle crashes in Illinois. RSCs are designed to keep our roads safe by taking dangerous DUI offenders off the road. This project is funded through the Illinois Department of Transportation, Division of Traffic Safety.

COURT

Jerseyville, Illinois

Regulators charge Chicago area doctor with cannabis violations The Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation (IDFPR) urges both physicians and members of the public to be cautious about setting up or visiting so-called “medical cannabis clinics.” The Department issued this warning in the wake of filing a formal complaint against a physician for violating the Medical Practice Act and the Compassionate Use of Medical Cannabis Pilot Program Act. While regulations for growing, dispensing and registering patients for the legal use of medical cannabis were approved by a legislative committee on July 15, no licenses have been issued for growing or dispensing cannabis and no physician certification forms are yet available. Patient, caregiver, and physician certification applications will be available in August, and those interested will be given several weeks to prepare their applications prior to filing. In the meantime, until Physician Certification Forms are issued by Department of Public Health, no Illinois-licensed physician may certify patients for legal purchase of medical cannabis. Patients suffering from the illnesses or symptoms listed in the Compassionate Use of Medical Cannabis Pilot Program Act should use this time to discuss the pros and cons of medical cannabis with their treating physicians and determine whether the use of the product will improve their quality of life. Unlike laws in many other states, Illinois’ Compassionate Use of Medical Cannabis Pilot Program Act only permits a physician who has a bona fide physician-patient relationship and is treating the patient’s qualifying debilitating medical condition to certify them for use of medical cannabis. “The decision to use medical canna-

bis as part of a patient’s ongoing treatment still requires adherence to appropriate standards of care. Patients and physicians should be careful when a business holds itself out exclusively as a ‘medical cannabis clinic,’” IDFPR Acting Secretary Manuel Flores said. “We will continue to aggressively prosecute people taking advantage of patients who may be eligible for medical cannabis.” Regulators recently filed a formal complaint against Dr. Joseph Starkman for establishing a cannabis clinic and operating that clinic in violation of both the Compassionate Use of Medical Cannabis Act and the Medical Practice Act. IDFPR learned that Starkman had established himself, and his business as a cannabis clinic, doing business as “Integr8 Illinois.” The complaint asserts that in late 2013, Dr. Starkman required a 79-year-old patient to pay a fee of $250 before his appointment. He then met with the patient and accepted medical paperwork that showed he had been diagnosed with glaucoma by another doctor. Dr. Starkman spent about 35 minutes with the patient, declared him eligible for medical cannabis and promised to mail him an official certificate for use at Illinois licensed cannabis dispensaries. Dr. Starkman did not perform an eye exam of the patient. In January 2014, the patient received what appeared to be an official State of Illinois Physician certification document, including the Seal of the State of Illinois and contact information for the Illinois Department of Public Health. That certificate was not issued by IDPH and is not valid for the purposes described. A copy of the complaint against Dr. Starkman and the alleged certificate offered to a patient can be found at IDFPR.com.

We all know that work can sometimes be mind-numbingly boring, difficult to the point of frustration, and stifling to the soul. But, it can also be exciting, provide a sense of accomplishment, and allow us to serve God by serving our fellow man. So, how do we ensure that we have more of the latter and less of the former? There is considerable evidence that what makes workers happy is a sense of agency, the sense that they are effective at what they are doing and that it is worthwhile work. What this really boils down to is doing something that you are good at. So, if you're in a job or career that you don't feel particularly suited to, you're probably not feeling great about your work. In that case, you should probably either retrain for a different job or work on the skills that will make you more effective in your current job. God has given all of us specific talents, and if we can incorporate those into our work we are bound to be happier and more effective. But, even if you aren't particularly good at what you do or happy where you work, do your best to put on a happy face each day at work. Sometimes happiness at work, like happiness in life, is just a choice that we make.

How to help kids transition back to the classroom just to waking up early each day. In addition, serve breakfast, lunch and dinner at the same time you typically serve it during the school year so kids' bodies can begin to readjust as well. n Take kids along when shopping for school supplies. If you plan to buy your child a new computer or other supplies for the upcoming school year, take him or her along on your shopping trips. Kids who get to choose their supplies might be more excited about returning to school than those youngsters who are given what they need without offering their input. n Monitor or assign summer reading. Many students are given summer reading lists to keep their minds sharp over the summer and prepare them for upcoming coursework. Parents should monitor kids' progress on such reading lists and even discuss the books with their kids when possible. Read the books along with them if you think it will help engage them. If kids were not assigned summer reading lists at the end of the school year, assign your own books, rewarding kids

when they finish a new book. Kids who read throughout the summer may be more likely to start the school year off on the right foot than those who don't crack a book all summer. n Encourage kids to sign up for extracurricular activities. Many school-aged athletes get a head start on the new school year by trying out for sports teams. Such tryouts often commence a week or two before a school year is scheduled to begin, and this can help kids ease their way back into the school year. But even nonathletes can begin pursuing extracurricular activities before the first school bell of the year rings. Theater programs may begin auditions or encourage interested youngsters to attend orientation meetings before the dawn of the school year, and such sessions can be a great and pressure-free way for kids to ready themselves for a new school year. The arrival of a new school year can be both exciting and daunting. But parents can help their youngsters readjust to school in various ways after a relaxing summer.

The dawn of a new school year is an exciting time. Kids may not want to say goodbye to days spent lounging by the pool, but such disappointment is often tempered by the prospect of returning to school with friends. For parents, getting kids ready for a new school year is about more than updating their wardrobe or organizing carpools with fellow parents. Reacclimating kids to the routine of school after a relaxing summer is a significant undertaking, and the following are a handful of ways for parents to get a head start as the school year draws closer. n Establish a routine over the last few weeks of summer. Summer vacations typically lack the structure of the school year, and that lack of structure can help kids unwind and make the most of the freedom that summer vacation provides. But as summer starts to wind down, parents can begin to reintroduce some structure into their kids' lives to make the transition back to school go more smoothly. Plan morning activities so kids can read-

Jane Diekemper Jane Diekemper, age 92, formerly of Carlyle and Doniphan, Mo., died Thursday, July 31, 2014 at Meridian Village Care Center in Glen Carbon. America Jane Leroux Diekemper was born Nov. 11, 1921 near Corning, Ark., the daughter of William Arthur and Mary Anna Eliza (Crook) Leroux. Jane attended one and/or two room elementary schools in Ripley County, Mo., – Oak Grove, Torch (Taylor) and Pig Ankle (Sylvan). She graduated from Naylor High School in 1940, class valedictorian. She was awarded a two-year scholarship to Southeast Missouri State Teacher’s College at Cape Girardeau, Mo., which she attended and received a teaching certificate. Jane then returned to Ripley County to teach one year at Poe School, a one-room school near Oxly. Since World War II had started she wished to contribute to the war effort so she went to work for the War Department in the Office of Dependency Benefits in Newark, N.J. Then from January 1944 to January 1948 she worked for the Federal Bureau of Investigation in Washington, D. C. in the fingerprint department. After Jane left the FBI she returned to college at Cape Girardeau to get her four-year degree. She graduated in 1950 with a Bachelor of Science in Education. After graduation she returned home to Ripley County where she taught at Taylor (Torch) School. After that building was destroyed by fire, she completed the year and also taught the next year at Sylvan (Pig Ankle) in Ripley County. She also taught at an elementary school in Berkeley in St. Louis County and worked as a receptionist and teletype operator at Westinghouse Electric in St. Louis. Jane married H. Virgil Diekemper in St. Louis Aug. 31, 1957. As a wife and mother she worked at home on the dairy farm taking care of the children, house, garden and sometimes the milking and calf feeding. After the death of her husband, Jane moved to Doniphan in 1990 and lived there until September 2013, when she moved to Meridian Village Care Center in Glen Carbon. Jane enjoyed spending time with her family, reading, listening to music, playing the piano, knitting, crocheting, sewing and traveling. She visited Canada, Mexico, Europe, South America, Alaska and Hawaii as well as most, if not all of the other 48 states. She was very involved with community activities. She was a 4-H leader, a member of the Clinton County Farm Bureau Women’s Committee, the Homemaker’s Extension, the First Baptist Church in Carlyle (serving as treasurer, Sunday school teacher and singing in the choir), and was a volunteer at St. Joseph’s Hospital in Breese, and later at the hospitals in Poplar Bluff and Doniphan. While living in Doniphan she was also a member of the Hospital Auxiliary, the Friends of the Library and Emmanuel Baptist Church where she also sang in the choir. Surviving are two children, Lorraine (Gene) Hillman of Jerseyville and Edwin (Tammy) Diekemper of Marine; four stepchildren, Karen (Dan) Gross of St. Louis, Richard (Darlene) Diekemper, Charles (Doris) Diekemper and Diane (Robert) Sinclair, all of Carlyle; one brother, Dr. Gene (Mary) Leroux of Doniphan; three grandchildren, nine step-grandchildren; one great-grandchild and nine step-great-grandchildren; and two sisters-in-law, Gertrude Holthaus of Carlyle and Marie Anthony of St. Paul, Minn. She was predeceased by her husband, H. Virgil Diekemper on Feb. 8, 1983; two sisters, Alta Knowlton and Wilma Stevens; three brothers, James, Garold and Austin Leroux; and brothers-in-law and sisters-in-law, Buren Knowlton, Malcolm “Steve” Stevens, Reva Moore Leroux, Lydia Mackley Leroux, Ruby Simmons Leroux, Virginia Bell Leroux, Louis Diekemper, Margie and Vincent “Sparky” Johnson, Victor Holthaus and Robert Anthony. Visitation was held Sunday, Aug. 3 at Frerker Funeral Home in Carlyle. Funeral services were held Monday at the First Baptist Church in Carlyle with the Rev. Randy Miller of Doniphan officiating. Interment was at St. Mary cemetery in Carlyle. For those wishing to honor Jane with a memorial contribution, the family suggests the Alzheimers Association or the American Cancer Society.

Principia College finishes fifth in the American Solar Challenge Principia College’s solar car team placed fifth in the American Solar Challenge (ASC), an eightday, 1,700-mile road race traveling through seven states from Austin, Texas, to Minneapolis, Minn. The strong finish on was all the more remarkable after the car was nearly ruined between the first and second days of the qualifying rounds at the Formula Sun Grand Prix in Austin. Early the second morning, the team learned that an electrical fire in the garage adjacent to Principia’s solar car had set off emergency sprinklers, soaking Principia’s car. Team members arrived to find a dire situation. The car body was flooded with five inches of standing water, submerging much of the electrical equipment and metal frame. In addition, soggy insulation from the garage ceiling had fallen onto everything, adding to the mess. Urgently, yet calmly, team members went to work on what seemed like an insurmountable challenge—disassembling and rebuilding the entire car. Over the next several hours, they painstakingly dried and cleaned all parts, placing waterlogged components into diaper-lined tubs filled with rice in an effort to draw out the water. Laptops and other equipment were ruined, but fortunately important data had been backed up and was later retrieved. Seven hours later, the car, Ra 9, emerged onto the track to complete as many laps as possible during the remaining hours of qualification. “Ra 9 accelerated down the runway, up the first incline, and over the horizon with ease, as if nothing had happened,” recent graduate Clayton Harper recalls. After Ra 9 posted a respectable 13 laps in its hour-and-a-half appearance, race officials ruled that Principia had earned a spot in the road race, although the final lap tally didn’t meet stated qualifications. Two days later, Ra 9 was at the starting line ready for the race. While the team faced several additional challenges along the way, nothing compared to the difficulty they had overcome in Austin. Team drivers and recent graduates Brian Ritter and Kali McKee took turns at the wheel, accompanied by others in the race convoy. Along with its fifth-place finish, Principia won this year’s ASC Electrical Design Award. “This was particularly significant because the carefully designed circuit boards really saved us during the ‘sprinkler event,’” explains McKee. “The situation would have been much more catastrophic if it weren’t for the outstanding electric design by Brian Ritter, recent grad Brian Kamusinga, sophomore Jackson Walker, and faculty advisor John Broere.” For nearly 20 years, Principia College has competed in the ASC and other solar car races in the United States and around the world, going up against engineering powerhouses such as MIT and the University of Michigan. During that time, the team has enjoyed and continues to appreciate strong support from alumni and the Principia College-area community. “Among the many donors and team supporters, we’d particularly like to thank Al Meinen, owner of Elite Composites Inc. in Highland, for donating his time and expertise to mill both the upper and lower body plugs for Ra 9,” Broere points out. “We’d also like to thank Steve Wright at Accu-Wright for fiberglass work, and Siemens for donating computer-aided design (CAD) software.”

Popular Pain Relievers evaluated for Heart Risk In a recent study conducted by the ongoing Women’s Health Initiative, the risk associated with cardiovascular (CV) events caused by two widely used nonsteriodal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) was investigated. It has been widely believed that naproxen is preferred over ibuprofen due to a better CV risk profile for naproxen. However, the conducted study actually found that naproxen poses a greater CV risk compared to ibuprofen. Ibuprofen, in fact, in this study, was not associated with any increase in CV death, nonfatal heart attack (called a myocardial infraction), or nonfatal stroke. NSAIDs, such as naproxen and ibuprofen, work by blocking a pathway in the body that causes inflammation and pain. Depending on which enzyme in the body the NSAID blocks to a greater degree determines the CV risk assigned to the drug. NSAIDs that selectively block the “COX-1 enzyme” have a lower CV risk associated with them. Ibuprofen, which shows greater selectivity for inhibiting COX-1, compared with naproxen, has a safer CV risk profile, as a result.

A Just Being Jersey Moment n Hi Briley Blade, I just wanted to let you know that you have made quite the impression on my nephew. He is in 5th grade at lllini and his name is Carter McCoy. He cannot seem to tell me how he knows of you, but you have somehow caught his attention and he idolizes

you. He and I spend a lot of time together. Rather it be taking him to school in the morning or hanging out in the evening, he always had a Briley story. This week, it was something along the line that "Briley asked his girlfriend out using a baseball!"I just wanted to let you know that

Cole Berry rolls up a plot of grass while James Holmes and Keilyun Manning prepare to pack the rolls onto the back of a truck July 30 at Ken Schell Baseball Field in Jerseyville. Removing the infield is one of the first steps toward revamping the ball diamond. The baseball field has been plagued by drainage and irrigation issues in recent years. During a meeting July 17, the Jersey Community Unit School District 100 board approved a $51,655 bid from Houska Inc. & Astro Logics to complete the work. The project will be paid using fundraising money collected during the past five years through the baseball program.
