Board approves Quarry Township culvert replacement

By KRIS SCHEFFEL Jersey County Journal

T

he Road and Bridge Commission presented its preliminary budget for a new drainage structure in Quarry Township to the County Board Tuesday, Sept. 10.

The culvert is a necessity for the Township after years of wear showing its impacts upon the current concrete structure. County engineer Tom Klasner said that the project is in its preliminary engineering phase, meaning that engineers are working on designs for the new structure.

“It’s in bad shape,” Klasner said. “It needs to be replaced.”

The county board is finalizing the agreement for the replacement with engineer-

ing firm Veenstra and Kimm, Inc. out of Springfield, IL. Klasner said that the cost of the project will be shared between the county highway department and the township.

The residents livin on Fern Glen Valley Road, along which the culvert will be replaced, will have to wait a year before the project is completed. Residents have been informed of the plans and will be given further information once the actual work begins.

“We are looking at possible alternative routes for residents living there,” Klasner said.

In addition, the county board received an update on the legislative meeting held on Aug. 28 which discussed the legalization of marijuana.

The board will not be making any decisions regarding the taxation and zoning of (See, REPLACEMENT, A2)

JCHS students to perform in comedy classic

By JARAD JARMON Jersey County Journal Jersey Community High School Theatre will be telling the story of a fictional pompous figure and the family who unwittingly finds themselves in the unfortunate position of sheltering the man in the comedy classic, “The Man Who Came to Dinner,” for the high school fall play.

The 2019-2020 JCHS Theatre season will open with Moss Hart and George S. Kaufman’s hit play from the 1940s at 7 p.m. Sept. 26-28 and 2 p.m. Sept. 29.

The show is directed by Brett Beauchamp and Martha Harpstrite.

The story follows Sheridan Whiteside, an arrogant radio personality in the late 1930s on a speaking tour in Ohio.

He is invited to dine with the Stanley’s, a well-to-do factory family. But upon arriving, he slips on their doorstep, breaking his hip. Whiteside then has to be sequestered in the Stanley house and takes no

time in making it his own to the misfortune of the family.

“He is a monster—charming—but he is a monster,” Theatre Director Beauchamp said of the character.

A tumultuous six weeks of confinement follow and the

“This is a really excellent senior class and a great group of kids behind them.”

Brett Beauchamp Director Stanley living room is found to be monopolized by Whiteside, ex-convicts are invited to meals, and transatlantic calls bring a $784 phone bill.

The arrival of strange gifts from his friends further destroys domestic tranquility.

“He basically drives the father of the house crazy,”

Beauchamp said.

When Whiteside’s secretary, Maggie, falls for a local reporter, Whiteside will stop at nothing to break up the romance. He enlists the help of a villainous actress, Lorraine, to break up the couple.

Maggie, too, has a few tricks and friends up her sleeve to stop Whiteside, all leading to what Beauchamp called a “hilarious ending.”

This is the third performance of the play at the school, Beauchamp said. Each rendition has served to add something different to the story, and he said this time is no different. The cast lead by William Beauchamp as Whiteside bring a new flavor to the large ensemble story.

William said he wanted to invoke the famous personalities known for their mean attitudes in his performance.

“I think of mean famous people,” William said. “I had to approach it as if everyone is under me, and I am the great(See, COMEDY, A2)

Alton Memorial to offer free Grafton’s Floodi-Gras skin cancer screening Sept. 24 to support flood recovery

By KRIS SCHEFFEL Jersey County Journal The words of Johnny Cash will be filling the air of Grafton’s west end Saturday, Oct. 5.

The tribute concert is a part of a larger celebration and fundraiser called FloodiGras to take place Oct. 5-6.

Floodi-Gras will officially kick off with a John Boat Parade from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m., which will snake its way along Waters, Market and Main Streets before concluding at Mason Hollow Park near where many of Floodi-Gras’ events will take place.

The purpose of the event is to raise funds for the Grafton Residence Emergency Relief Fund to help residents recover after the flood. “There are still some people that aren’t back in their homes,� Cristine Brame, organizer, said.

The emergency funding went to infrastructure, but not necessarily to the people, Brame said. The goal of the event is to help address these shortfalls in aid to those who have and continue to feel the effects of the flood.

What began as a charity tribute concert has now grown to include a fish fry, car show, raffle, cornhole competition and other activities.

The expansion of the events speaks to a larger purpose of Floodi-Gras, one that Brame hopes will create Floodi-Gras into an annual event. Brame said she hopes the event will “highlight the west end (of Grafton).� “There is so much more to Grafton

than what many visitors experience,�

Brame said.

During the event, pumpkin painting will take place at Lutte’s Bait Shop.

Brame said other businesses in west end will also host activities. The goal is to call attention to these small businesses and let visitors know where to go to find them.

The parade will be open to anyone with a john boat or float wishing to join. Line up will be at 9 a.m. on Saturday, Oct. 5, with Grand Marshall Churnie Bradfisch leading the parade. Three awards— Admiral, Captain and First Mate— will be given for best boat or float. Judging begins at 9:15 a.m.

The fish fry will be open from 11:30 a.m. to 7 p.m., and the car show will take place at the Finn Inn from 11:30 a.m. to 5 p.m.

The Johnny Cash Tribute Concert, starring Bill Forness, will take place from 7 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. Tickets costs $25 and can be purchased on the Grafton Chamber of Commerce website.

Attendees are requested to bring their own chairs and drinks, if desired. Tickets for the 50/50 raffle are available during the concert.

On Sunday, Drifters’ will be hosting a professionally run cornhole tournament.

Entries will cost $30 per team. Vendors will be present selling crafts, jewelry, kettle corn and other prizes.

Proceeds from the event will go toward paying expenses for Floodi-gras first, but left the rest will go toward the fund.

More information is available at graftonchamber.com. For parade registration, email Christine Brame at christinebrm@ yahoo.com.

If you’re concerned about skin cancer, particularly on your hands or face, Alton Memorial Hospital is having a free screening from 4:30 to 6 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 24, in Medical Office Building C (the Cancer Care Center). Advance appointments are required by calling 1-800-392-0936.

If you have been to one of these screenings in the past year and didn’t require any follow-up, it is recommended that you don’t need to have another screening until 12 months after your last one.

Participants will be examined by plastic surgeon Dr. John Felder and Lorilee Sebesta, FNP-C. In a 12-month period between July 2018 and July 2019, Dr. Felder and his office treated 250 cases of skin cancer surgically, plus close to 100 more non-surgically. He estimated that more than half

of the patients who came to the free screenings came back for follow-ups, including biopsies. “There is certainly value in these screenings,� Dr. Felder said. “As with all cancers, early detection is the key.�

Dr. Felder and Sebesta will examine suspicious areas on the face, hands or other exposed areas. Skin cancer is the most common form of cancer. People with fair skin, light-colored hair, green or

blue eyes, and people who freckle easily are at the greatest risk. Excessive sun exposure, blistering burns before the age of 18 and a family history of melanoma are also risk factors. Most skin cancers appear after age 50, but more and more young adults and even teen-agers are now being diagnosed. Skin cancer can occur anywhere, but it is most common in skin that has been exposed to sunlight.

“Ameren wants to just store some materials there for a year in a half.�

The lease agreement stipulates the city has no liability for Ameren’s property, he said. “Our lease just goes forward, and they are responsible for everything they do,� he said.

Also at the meeting, a tour-

ism grant application from the Downtown Country Christmas Festival of $4,500 was approved.

Michael Ward, festival organizer, noted this year has already shown to include a bolstered parade roster. The parade has doubled the size of what it was for the last two years.

Court (Continued from A1) Bill Strang, city attorney, said the measures allow room for Ameren to store equipment on the property as well.

Several years ago, Micahel Wock leased the property to the city. “There is a whole bunch of vacant ground on it that we aren’t using,� Strang said.

Replacement (Continued from A1) planting, processing, or distribution facilities until the state’s veto session has been conducted—a fact emphasized by Board Chairman Donald Little during that legislative meeting. “We can either opt-in or opt-out,� he said.

Any decision that the board reaches, will not take effect until mid-2020 with only those licensed to distribute medical marijuana permitted to begin selling recreational marijuana on Jan. 1. The board wishes

to obtain more information that will be presented in an upcoming town hall meeting during which the public will be given the opportunity to ask questions and make statements on the issue.

Also, Board member Sandy Hefner was appointed to the Extension Service Board until Aug. 31, 2021.

During the meeting, the board also gave their condolences to the family of Edward Sancamper, the brother of former board member Robert Sancamper.

Tri-County Bowl 1880 Pizza Pasta sees renovations; House reopened following upgrades more to come

By KRIS SCHEFFEL Jersey County Journal A fresh appearance greeted customers at TriCounty Bowl this past week.

Owners John and Norb Goetten reopened the bowling alley after resurfacing the lanes and replacing the flooring.

The business has been in operation since the 90’s, Tri-County Bowl Manager Jason Wiltshire, said.

Since then, it has hosted birthday parties and tournaments. The new-look is a part of a wider remodeling

process by the owners that began last October with the opening of a poker room.

The Goetten’s took over the business about two years ago from Danny and Candy Tepen, Steve Nelson, assistant manager at the bowling alley, said. “As far as I know, nothing has been done to (the alley),� Nelson said of the building.

The July improvements include the resurfacing of the sixteen bowling lanes. Manager Wiltshire described a two-step process including the sanding and re-coating of the lanes.

“We’ve got them looking a little newer,� Wiltshire said.

Additional improvements have been made to the tile flooring, which has now been replaced with wood laminate. “(We are) getting people back in the groove,�

Wiltshire said of the recent re-opening.

While open now, the bowling alley is looking to continue making improvements beginning with the resurfacing of the bar. It is estimated to be completed during the end of September or early October.

News items from the pages of Jersey County Journal 5 Years Ago September 10, 2014 Jerseyville Estates is aiming to be a site for a new method of care for Alzheimer ’s patients.

The business announced its plans last week at the Jerseyville City Council meeting, while the council unanimously approved its request to rezone five acres of property. During the regular meeting Sept. 2, Michael Greer, Jerseyville Estates owner, said rezoning the land south of the current property would give his business an opportunity to expand its assisted living facilities in addition to separate units where Alzheimer’s patients would live.

Greer said the units are a new concept that allow those with Alzheimer’s to take care of themselves and walk freely outdoors.

A local man has coordinated an event to honor troops and first responders, while at the same time raising money for an altruistic cause. Remembering Our Heroes will be held Friday night at the Jerseyville United Methodist Church, beginning at 6 p.m., and will feature music, emergency vehicles and special guest speaker.

The event was planned by Ryan Frye, UMC member. “We thought that would be

a good time to remember those who fought post 9-11, but to also honor our first responder,� Frye said. “It’s going to show our community who our heroes are.�

10 Years Ago September 9, 2009 Several parents and teenagers paid a visit to Jerseyville’s city hall Tuesday night to express their dismay over the fact that a police officer confiscated their children’s skateboards after the teens were caught riding the boards on the sidewalks in the downtown business district. Jerseyville Police Chief and Mayor Scoggins were both in attendance at the meeting and Blackorby chose to address the situation, saying that skateboarding and riding bicycles on the sidewalk in the business district has always been a city ordinance.

Grafton city officials were informed Tuesday, Sept. 8 of positive news in the form of earning another grant. Tom Thompson, the city’s mayor, said the $70,000 grant the city will receive from the Federal Highway Administration will allow the city to construct a wetland trail near Shafer’s Wharf. When finished, it will contain an outdoor classroom, boardwalk, brochure kiosk and

an observation deck. “This project will fund an elevated walkway and self-guided tour for Byway visitors and residents to learn more about native wetland plants and native wildlife in Grafton,� city officials stated in a press release.

of Mike’s Pizza, as well as the pizza offerings they already had. Ringhausen said she wanted to perfect the pizza before adding pasta onto the menu. If successful, she hopes to also add sandwiches.

When an opportunity intially presented itself to start her own restaurant, Ringhausen didn’t hesitate. The owner of Mike’s Pizza approached Ringhausen and her daughter, Natalie Titus, prior to retiring and asked if they would buy his family recipes for pizza and pasta. “Mike’s Pizza had always been a family business, and Mike wanted it to continue as a family business,� Ringhausen said. “He knew our family and when he was ready to retire, he came to me to see if I was interested, and I jumped at the chance.�

True to Mike’s wishes, 1880 Pizza Pasta House is family run.

Most nights of the week, multiple members of the Ringhausen family can be seen helping out in the restaurant. Andrea herself acknowledges that if it weren’t for friends and family, that none of this would have occurred. “My husband, Phil, my girls, Natalie and Elyse, and my in-laws, Phil and Sheila, are a source of constant support,� she said. “Whether they are helping with the practicalities of running the restaurant or simply providing me with the encouragement I need to keep going, I couldn’t do this without them.�

She continued, “We have been so fortunate to have amazing friends and family helping us through this journey. People have been so willing to pitch in and help its been remarkable.�

The restaurant is open from Wednesday to Sunday for dinner. More information on the business can be found on their Facebook page.

The 1880 Pizza Pasta House reopened following upgrades to their air conditioning and plumbing in the location.

The business was reopened at the end of August following upgrades on the the air conditioning and plumbing.

Andrea Ringhausen opened up the restaurant earlier this summer but closed briefly to make the upgrades. She purchased the property last year and had since been making renovations to the building ahead of the business launch in April. The entire kitchen was remodeled and the flooring replaced after water damage was found in the kitchen and waitressing areas.

In Ringhausen’s estimate, the work took about 7 to 8 months to complete. However, additional work was slated to be done at the location at 208 S. State St. in Jerseyville after they initially opened.

The two week span between the end of August and the beginning of September provided an opportunity for the completion of this work as well as gave employees vacation time. The timing of the closure coincided with the yearly two-week closure of Ringhausen’s other business, Espresso Yourself Bakery.

Ringhausen owns Espresso Yourself Bakery with her daughter and son-in-law, Natalie & Benjamin Titus. The business regularly closes during the same two weeks between August and September in order to allow Natalie and Benjamin vacation time. “Otherwise, they don’t have any time off,� Ringhausen said.

The pizza restaurant was opened with recipes from Mike’s Pizza that was closed when the owner retired.

The brief closure served as a chance to update the menu to include pasta with a variety of choices of sauces, also a recipe

t should extend to every facet of a person’s life: strive for cleanliness.

It is a simple concept, but one that seems lost on some residents in Jerseyville.

At Tuesday’s Jerseyville City Council meeting, the mayor noted the cleanliness of a person’s property as it pertains to city code has been lacking in the Jerseyville. Mayor Bill Russell specifically mentioned people not cleaning up trash on their property and not mowing lawns as a “huge” issue in the city with numerous complaints among residents about the state of select residential areas in the city.

It can be said that some forms of cleanliness are an individual’s business and only their business.

An unclean person or home, while ill-advised, is certainly a personal matter, but these more public examples of cleanliness go beyond that point.

The facade and the outside of a home is in some ways a representation of the self. Christmas lights and decorations. Pretty landscaping and political signs in the lawn. They all paint a portrait of the person you are. They are things you have chosen to present to the community.

Leaving a lawn uncut and trash out is a choice as well—unconscious or not—to neighbors and the community. And, it is a choice that impacts everyone.

At this level, cleanliness is about respect for one another.

The saying goes, “a rising tide lifts all ships.”

The same can be said when that tide goes in the opposite direction. It a phrase that largely pertains to economics, but is one that can apply to this situation.

Beyond the violating city ordinances, this seemingly apathetic approach to maintaining a property is one that impacts everyone around that property— specifically in the case of residential properties. Home values do go down the more disheveled and unkempt a neighboring property might look.

Now, to maintain some of these city codes like mowing grass, it can be understandably costly.

But, is it something that breaks the bank?

We ask city residents to take the impact their cleanliness, or lack thereof, has on the community into consideration so all of our ships can rise.

We need to strive to remain respectful of the property we earned, and clean up, if only to be in compliance with city code.

A squirrel, three frogs and a toad M

y dad is making some much-needed repairs to his house.

He’s building a retaining wall, replacing a tub in his live-in basement, and rebuilding his deck. His house has a lot of outside dry rot due to a lot of dirt piled against the house. The dirt has been against the house since it was built, and now, is causing a lot of problems.

To dig the dirt away from the house and keep it back, Dad is building a retaining wall.

All of this activity has put Dad in constant contact with the animal kingdom, for, whether they are curious or just being animals, the wildlife of rural Massachusetts keeps getting in the way!

What’s comical is not that Dad has a lot of work cut out for him. It’s that the animals in his neighborhood seem to be interested in the goings on at his house as well.

Especially, the frogs.

Or, maybe it’s not interest at all, but normal frog behavior. Since Dad started building his retaining wall to keep the dirt back away from his house, he has had a scourge of frogs.

Dad was outside digging, working on his wall, and, when he turned around, he discovered that three frogs had joined him in his repair work—or, were just hapless enough to get stuck in the ditch. Three frogs are difficult to deal with, especially when you are standing knee deep in a hole against your foundation.

Frogs are definitely not cooperative. After the frogs stopped jumping around, Dad was able to lift them out with his shovel, and watch as they gratefully hopped away into the grass. No more did Dad eject (or rescue) the frogs, when he turned around to find a huge two-inch toad watching him, also in the ditch.

The toad was easier to rescue than the wildly jumping frogs! Dad easily lifted the toad back out, past the wall, to the yard, and the toad hopped away never to be seen again.

The red squirrel, on the other hand, didn’t jump down into the ditch to check out the retaining wall. He burrowed down into the siding of the house and made himself a nest in the insulation. All that warm insulation made a nice summer home for him, but not a

I think it will mean only trouble for the town and lead to more inclusion of bad elements to the community.

I believe the concern is overblown, and dispensaries will only be a positive addition to town, namely tax revenue.

I think strict regulations need to be in place, but I have tepid support the idea.

I want to look more into the issue, but I am generally against the idea of seeing cannabis shops pop up in town.

nice houseguest Guest Column for my dad and

BY HEIDI MOORE stepmother.

That squirrel was also tenacious. He would not give up, not even when dad blew in insulation into the hole to fill it and keep the squirrel out! Finally, Dad decided to fix the rot and evict the red squirrel for good.

That’s when he started digging the dirt away from the house and discovered that the problem was much bigger than an ornery and very determined squirrel. The fixing of the rot on the house also led to the fixing of the back and front decks and the tub in the live-in basement. What a mess! Dad has been working hard all summer on repairs.

Fortunately, with all the mess and noise and dirt, the red squirrel has decided not to return and build a nest elsewhere in the house.

Dad recently told me that the retaining wall is almost finished, and the rotten boards replaced—which means there will be no more red squirrels living in the insulation and no more frogs or toads (hopefully) hopping aimlessly over the wall to land in the ditch against the house.

Dad has his work cut out for him, and I’m not sure the animal kingdom is helping much. After you’ve rescued three frogs and a toad from a ditch, you might not want to see any more frogs or toads and a two-foot garter snake becomes a welcome addition to your yard.

The snake won’t catch the squirrel, but he’ll deal with the overpopulation of frogs, and that will be a good thing.

Dad says the frogs can stay in the pond, and I agree. But, I think I’ll pass on accommodating a two-foot snake in my yard.

Even if it does happen to be a nonpoisonous garter snake. Dad says its eating habits are much to be desired, and I really don’t want to watch a huge snake eat a frog.

Or a mouse. Or anything!

The snake is good, but I’ll take my neighbor’s stance on its eating habits and go inside while its finishing up its lunch.

Here’s to a healthy and happy Autumn!

Fly-over country: better option to Florida

ONLINE POLL

How clean do you think the county is?

EDITORIAL

I

t seems as though I have an increasing number of friends who have moved to Florida permanently or who now have second homes there.

Living in Florida sure sounds like a lot of fun—having to evacuate your home every hurricane season; confronting those 10 foot alligators on the golf course who want to “play through”; discovering those 17-foot Burmese pythons in your back yard who are eye-balling your dog or cat; and having a swarm of green iguanas doing their business all over your barbecue pit.

Now there is another reason to wish you lived in Florida: hoards of black vultures chillin’ out in your backyard.

More about these guys in a minute.

Here in “fly-over country”, we have the turkey vulture—and who doesn’t love these gorgeous creatures, with their ugly red heads and ominous black bodies who feast on roadkill?

The technical name for this subspecies of vulture is “catharses aura”; they are migratory birds with a highly developed sense of smell.

Because of their ability to smell, they can find dead meat on their own; they don’t need an entire village to help them find their next meal and because of this, they tend to be “loners”.

There is another subspecies of vulture that lives in Florida and for that matter, throughout the South. They are known as black vultures; the technical name is “coragyps atratus”.

Both the black vulture and the turkey vulture feed on dead animals but there are two major distinctions between these two subspecies. The black vulture has a relatively undeveloped ability to smell.

In order to locate dead animals, it depends on its eyesight and more importantly, it depends on hunting with other vultures in a joint effort to spot a source of food while flying around.

And because they depend so much on each other, the black vulture, unlike its cousin, is usually very gregarious with other members of its flock. They even mate for life with one mate.

More often than not, they congregate

in large groups, referred to by the er Ridge Runn birding experts CH RO NI CL ES as “committees,” even when not Guest Column feeding on road

BY BILL HOAGLAND kill.

These black vultures have recently started “hanging out” in the back yards of exclusive subdivisions in West Palm Beach. These are gated communities designed to keep “undesirables” out, but guess what?

The gates don’t work on vultures.

If you have large groups of vultures— estimated to sometimes be as many as 100--perched on your roof or milling around in your back yard all day and night, you are also going to have—you guessed it—vulture vomit and vulture “ca-ca” all over the place.

Just imagine what they had for lunch and you can get a good idea of how horrific the odors can get from these two emissions. But it has recently gotten even worse than that. It seems that they are attacking parked vehicles, tearing at the plastic and rubber lining along the doors and windows, and they are destroying the screens over outdoor swimming pools, thereby getting into the pool area and refusing to leave once they get “pool-side.”

One group of vultures got inside a screened-in pool area and could not get out.

Then they started attacking each other and it ended up being a bloody mess.

Isn’t that wonderful!

If you are sitting there thinking that a shotgun could take care of the problem in no time, think again. Vultures are migratory birds and as such are protected by the Migratory Bird Treaty Act of 1918. They cannot be killed without a special permit and that is not likely to forth coming for these homeowners.

So maybe living in fly-over country ain’t so bad after all.

Births

Warfords celebrate 130th Reunion Welcome, baby Vale Johnny and Katie Schnettgoecke of Jerseyville welcome a daughter, Vale August Schnettgoecke, born July 19, 2019, at Anderson Hospital in Maryville at 6 lbs, 4 oz. Vale’s siblings Vivienne, age 4 and Ava in Heaven. Grandparents are Dave and Cindy McIver of Jerseyville and Bob and Barb Schnettgoecke of Grafton. Great grandparents are Blanche Kamp of Jerseyville, Leslie Grossius of Jerseyville and Joan Schnettgoecke of St. Charles.

The 130th annual Warford reunion was held in Rosedale, Illinois, on Sunday, September 1, 2019, with seventy person attending. Descendants of John and Mary Polly (Baxter) Warford of Howard County, Missouri, have been meeting every Labor Day Sunday for food, fellowship and genealogical research since the year 1889.

Only the meeting place has changed over the years. In 2006 the reunion was moved from Glasgow, Missouri

to Rosedale, Illinois to accommodate a larger and younger population of John and Mary Polly’s descendants who reside in Illinois.

Many of the Central Missouri Warfords moved to Illinois in the mid1920s to work in the newly burgeoning oil refineries in the Wood River area. It is their grandchildren, great-grandchildren and great, greatgrandchildren who now carry on the tradition of meeting every Labor Day

Sunday.

After the noon potluck, a service of remembrance was held for five members who have passed away this year.

Stories of the past were shared by family members and we were entertained by piano solos from Lorian and Eden, children of Ian and Lori Warford. Clinton Warford, of Jerseyville, serves as our reunion president and Thelma Peabody, of Chatham, is secretary.

Jersey Community Hospital Foundation awards scholarships The Jersey Community Hospital Foundation has awarded six scholarships to students studying for careers in healthcare fields. In 1990, the estate of Cleon and Beulah Palmer made it possible for Jersey Community Hospital to set up a fund encouraging area individuals to seek health care careers. The following year, monies from the estate of Robert and Dorothy Gledhill added to the fund. Over the years, the JCH Foundation has provided $315,500 in assistance to more than 150 students residing in its tri-county service area, while using only the interest accrued by this fund and from additional funds raised from the Foundationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s annual Golf Tournament.

The 20th Annual JCH Foundation Golf Tournament will be held at Lockhaven Golf Club on Friday, Oct. 4. 100 percent of the funds raised from the golf tournament

supports the Medical Education Scholarship Program. Great sponsorship opportunities and spots for teams and individual golfers are available. The Medical Education Scholarship Program relies heavily on sponsorships and participation to continue to provide these scholarships.

Jon Wade, CEO of Jersey Community Hospital said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am proud of this successful program and the encouragement it provides for students to return to JCH after graduation. We currently employ 21 past scholarship recipients, I believe this is a direct contribution to the award-winning care that JCH provides to our community.â&#x20AC;?

Applications for the 2020 scholarships are now available at www.jch.org/give-volunteer/ scholarship/. The application deadline is May 1, 2020.
