SEPTEMBER 18, 2019

By JARAD JARMON Jersey County Journal A 3-percent tax on cannabis sales was established in Grafton ahead of an Oct. 1 deadline to establish regulations on cannabis.

Grafton City Council voted to impose a municipal cannabis retailer’s occupation tax in the city. The tax is imposed upon all who are engaged in the business of selling cannabis other than medical cannabis. The rate will be at 3 percent of the gross receipts from these sales made in the course of that business.

“Our resources, our funds are down so much,” Andy Jackson, Grafton alderman, said. “We got to grab every-

thing we can.”

The council charged the city with drafting an ordinance for the approval of dispensaries in the community at a previous meeting. Support from those on the council centered on keeping the door open to allow cannabis sales in the city.

Jackson said they can always repeal any acceptance of the cannabis sales, but the same cannot be said for taking part along with the swath of other cities in the state accepting cannabis sales.

“I think what we were really trying to do, at least from my perspective, was trying to preserve our options without closing that door,” Jackson said. “We don’t have to grant a

business license. So, we have a lot of control going forward.

If we elect to exercise that option, we can.”

at least those vocal on the subject, saw this as a move to generate funds in the city.

Grafton Mayor Rick Eberlin said he was advised it would be easier to police the drug when and if it makes its way into the city.

Eberlin expressed skepticism that a dispensary would even open up in the city citing the cost of entry to sell cannabis and the low population in Grafton.

At the meeting, Joe Soer, Grafton treasurer, reported the city is likely to be under on revenue by the end of the year in large part because of the flood recovery— a process that residents and city officials are grappling with.

The city has yet to receive

federal funds necessary to recoup costs associated with the flooding.

Flood-affected areas in the region have yet to get a federal declaration necessary to receive Federal Emergency Management Agency funds.

At the same time, the city OK’d the purchase of a new police squad car.

“We have a squad car that is basically dying,” Grafton Police Chief Eric Spanton said.

Up to $5,000 from the general fund for the vehicle was approved at the city council, but Soer said it would have no lasting impact on the general fund.

Brett Gettings gets out of his vehicle in front of the Nutwood Levee’s breach.

Repairs to Nutwood Levee breach have started

By KRIS SCHEFFEL Jersey County Journal

T

housands upon thousands of acres of land in the Nutwood Levee District are now free of flood waters, and now the district is taking the next steps toward making repairs to the levee itself.

This comes after months of pumping water out from the district back out into the river.

There were a total of eight pumps running around the clock at the Nutwood Pumphouse. Four of those were

transported to the pumphouse by the Illinois Emergency Management Agency.

Brett Gettings, the Nutwood Levee Manager, said the Army Corps of Engineers wrapped up its final assessments this past week. Environmental and archaeological surveys were conducted and the contracts have been sent to the district.

The contract for the repairs has been divided into two parts.

The first will address the scour holes that were dug out by the rushing flood waters.

Scour is sediment, in this case sand, located beneath the topsoil. Gettings estimated that the largest of these holes reached about 38 feet in depth.

In the ’93 flood, the floodwaters did not reach this layer of sand.

As a result, Gettings said, this flood differentiated itself by digging out these enormous scour holes and spreading sand out across the farmland surrounding the levee and its breach site.

“It looks like a bomb went off,” he said.

The Corps will utilize the 4 to 8 inches of sand on the fields to fill in the scour holes.

However, once the holes are filled, the farmers are on their own when it comes to removing the rest of the sand.

The second contract will

By KRIS SCHEFFEL Jersey County Journal Grafton is looking to make history on Sept. 28 with the dedication of what is believed to be the largest American flag along the Mississippi River. A ceremony to raise the American flag over the town will take place in honor of the troops and first responders.

The flag which measures 40-80 feet and at a height of 130 feet has been gifted by reality TV host, Marcus Lemonis.

Mayor Rick Eberlin says that Lemonis has been instrumental in helping Grafton to not only recover from the floods earlier this year but also to rebrand itself. The flag is a part of this rebranding, as is the new motto: “Grafton: A Real American River Town.”

The flag itself was inspired by the large veteran population which lives in the town. Eberlin estimated that at one time, 17.9 percent of Grafton’s residents were veterans.

“At one time, Grafton had the largest percentage of veterans in the state,” Eberlin said.

Eberlin credits Lemonis for his donation and for putting in the time and effort to ensure this flag will be the tallest on the river. The flag is just the most recent of Lemonis’ efforts to help

Grafton.

During the flood, Eberlin said, Lemonis helped to provide equipment, dumpsters and landscaping to help the east end of the town.

Eberlin said Lemonis, as a well-known as a TV host on “The Profit,” has helped to generate outside interest in Grafton. “(The flag) is the culmination of things,” Eberlin

“At one time, Grafton had the largest percentage of veterans in the state.”

Rick Eberlin Grafton Mayor said.

Earlier this year, Lemonis flew Eberlin down to Key West to highlight his work in the area.

“I got to see what could translate in Grafton,” Eberlin said.

One suggestion was branding Grafton the “Key West of the Midwest,” however, there were concerns because of the Grafton Harbor has already adopted that slogan. Grafton had its own identity, Eberlin said, as a (See, DEDICATION, A2)

TreeHouse Wildlife Center celebrates 40 years

By JARAD JARMON Jersey County Journal Adele Moore calls it her “unplanned life” and based on her telling of it all, that seems to be the case.

What started with a rabbit in the road more than 40 years ago turned into what is now the TreeHouse Wildlife Center located at 23956 Green Acres Road in Dow. Moore said it is strange to reflect back on how it all started.

Over the weekend, the center, a non-profit organization dedicated to the rehabilitation of sick, injured and orphaned wildlife and the educational promotion of environmental stewardship and awareness, celebrated their 40th anniversary.

While the official organization was established years later, 1979 to be exact, a chance encounter Moore and Richard Evans had with a rabbit in 1972 truly spurred it all, Moore said.

While driving down Milton

Hill road in Alton, they found a cottontail rabbit in the middle of the road that had been hit by a car.

They did not know what to do, so they brought it to a veterinarian. The veterinarian like many in the field did not have prior training in wildlife medicine. Moore explained wildlife medicine simply was not taught in most veterinarian programs.

But, the veterinarian was able to stitch up a couple of areas where the fur was torn away from the body and helped splint the fractured front leg. It also was discovered that the rabbit was temporarily blind because of a head injury.

Moore and Evans took the rabbit back home— to a home of cats— and nursed him as best they knew how. Moore noted it was an odd sight to see the rabbit just sit and nibble on food surrounded by their cats.

“Thank goodness it was blind at that point,” she said.

In spite of it all, the rabbit recovered his sight, his leg

ADELE MOORE and his skin healed and Moore said it astounded her.

Knowing that it doesn’t take much to stress out a cottontail rabbit – after all, most everything eats them -- it should not have lived through the accident, never mind the treatment and rehabilitation, Moore said.

More than that, though, it sparked curiosity in her and a passion that she and Evans would soon turn into the TreeHouse Wildlife Center.

“I just remember thinking this is really cool,” she said.

Before this, it was not even a thought.

“I like dogs and cats, but I

did not even think about wildlife until then.”

When she graduated high school, the goal was to get a job, get married and have kids.

Caring for wildlife was never really in the cards up until that point.

Still, there was something

beyond simply being a good samaritan to that one rabbit for Moore and Evans.

This interest in wildlife flourished for the two when Evans made his way to the University of Illinois.

Gift shop with city-inspired items opening in Grafton

By KRIS SCHEFFEL Jersey County Journal The old Grafton bank is seeing new life with the opening of a gift shop on Saturday, Sept. 28.

River Bank Gifts will be offering a little piece of Grafton to those who visit.

The opening of the gift shop is timed to coincide with the flag dedication ceremony on the same day.

Mayor Rick Eberlin says the shop is a part of a wider embracing of Grafton’s new slogan: “A Real River Town.”

The shop will be selling Graftoninspired items paying homage to local symbols such as catfish, peaches and eagles as well as national ones.

“It’s what Grafton’s all about,”

said Rick. “Grafton is all about Americana.”

The business is owned by Rick’s wife, Kim Eberlin, and has received investment from reality TV host Marcus Lemonis.

Lemonis had originally sought to purchase the Mississippi Half Step, however, did not go through with it after the inspection of the property.

Lemonis will be in town for both the dedication of the Mississippi’s largest flag and the opening of River Bank Gifts on Sept. 28.

Kim is also the owner of the Whole Scoop, an ice cream shop along Grafton’s main street.

“Grafton is eat, drink and sleep,” said Kim, “But, we don’t have enough retail.”

Kim sees the giftshop as an oppor-

tunity to expand upon Grafton’s retail by providing something different in gifts and souvenirs for locals and visitors alike.

Kim and Lemonis also plan to work with local artists whom they met during Grafton’s Art in the Park.

The shop plans to sell their work, including sterling silver jewelry and local photography, as well.

With only a few weeks till opening, things are progressing smoothly, Rick said.

“She’s working her tail off trying to get the work done,” he said of his wife.

The store is slated to open on Saturday, Sept. 28 along Grafton’s main street next to the Ruebel Hotel.

More information can be found on their Facebook page.

TreeHouse (Continued from A1) At that time, wildlife courses were not offered at the University of Illinois College of Veterinary Medicine, and wildlife patients were not “officially” admitted at the school’s clinic. Evans expressed interest in wildlife, though.

Soon enough, while in school, he would be called out of class to care for injured wildlife that came in.

During this time, Evans talked to the head of the small animal clinic at the university and asked if it would be possible to convert an unused dog ward into a wildlife ward. It was then and there that the first wildlife ward at U of I was conceived.

This budding passion began in earnest in 1977 when orphaned critters were brought home for Adele to raise.

In 1979 when Evans graduated, the two moved to Brighton along with their current patients at the time: a rough-legged hawk and several orphaned raccoons and squirrels.

Two cages for birds and one for mammals, along with a storage area, were erected in the back yard using construction material that consisted of old wooden boxcar sides, trees for posts, and chain-link fencing.

From this, the center, named after a former tree house used as the first nest box used for orphaned raccoons,

was born.

In that first year, 71 patients were admitted. The first permanent resident arrived – a Great Horned Owl dubbed “Moose.”

Since then, that number has gone up. Today, the staff at the center see 800-900 animals from Springfield down to Carbondale in a year.

Over the course of many more years following its opening, the center has grown and moved from site to site, eventually landing where they are now in Dow in 2010.

Since the move, the non-profit has taken on a secondary role of educating the masses on wildlife and their value.

The goal for the center, aside from rehabbing wildlife, is to educate the public, many of them younger, on what they do.

“We are out here trying to get these animals back to the wild because most everything we get in is either directly or indirectly affected by man,” Moore said.

Over decades, public opinion and understanding of wildlife has shifted, Moore said.

There were two groups essentially: good samaritans who sought to nurse an injured animal back to a healthy condition, likely unsuccessfully, and those that see a lot of these creatures as vermin and a nuisance.

The latter group has become

Tax (Continued from A1) “We have sources to pay it back,” Soer said. “To get the vehicle, we will have to use the general fund first and then we will reimburse the general fund. So in effect, it should have no impact on the general fund in the end.”

Among these sources include police funds, drug and alcohol funds, and donations.

Also at the meeting, Alderwoman Mary Lillesve raised the possibility of making sections of the Main Street or the street as a whole a historical district.

“This would be a first, mostly I think, to say we are really proud of our heritage and let’s tell people,” Lillesve said.

Lillesve was charged with

getting more information on the possibility of designating a historic district and setting up a historical commission to oversee the district.

Concerns were raised over what this might mean for what people can do with their properties. The establishment of historic districts and commissions to oversee them can introduce strict guidelines focused largely on the exterior of the building.

Lillesve said the vision of a commission is to not be overbearing but a resource for locals looking to get information on how to renovate and improve their property in a historically accurate way.

“It is more of an aid to help preserve the buildings,” Jackson added.

smaller over the years— a reality Moore said is evident by the number of animals that come in and who bring them in.

“We got big burly guys coming in with baby squirrels,” Moore said.

Kelly Vandersand, fundraising coordinator with the center, said it is also a result of growing ecology education in schools.

Among the animals that get one the worst reputations are opossums, Moore said, and that has since changed for the better. Through her years rehabbing wildlife, Moore saw opossums as one of the most fascinating.

One opossum, Scarlett, an orphan found in a driveway, was particularly special to Moore. An underdog of sorts that became a permanent resident at the center. She came in with wounds after likely being attacked by another animal. Moore said she was popular resident for the center.

Numerous other animals had found a home in the center over the years along with the swath of volunteers and staff that have come in.

“That fact that we are here 40 years later still blows my mind,” Moore said.

Looking to the future, Moore said the center is fundraising for an addition to the center to include a rehab facility for ducks and other waterfowl.

Dedication (Continued from A1) river town. Something which was not reflected in the Key West slogan.

The flag dedication is one which embraces this identity by highlighting the service of its citizens, many of whom have dedicated themselves to their country.

The ceremony will take place on Saturday, Sept. 28 at 5 p.m. at the Public Boat Launch located at One East Water St. The proceedings will include speeches by dignitaries and the raising of the flag by the Color Guard and veterans from all branches of the military. The American Legion Post No. 648 will perform a 21-gun salute followed by a fireworks display. At the Grafton City Council meeting, members OK’d $1,500 toward the cost of the display.

Music at the event will be provided by the Jerseyville High School Band accompanied by vocalist Nickie Brooks.

SINGING

Kris Scheffel/Jersey County Journal

THE GOSPELS

Cindy Spellbrink of the music group New Jerusalem sings gospels to an audience at the Hamilton School Festival. The Hamilton School in Otterville is officially recognized as the first integrated school in the nation and the first free school in Illinois, meaning that there was no tuition. It is on the National Register of Historic Places and a festival is held every year in its honor.

Repairs (Continued from A1) address the levee and the roughly 250-yard breach the flood created. In order to so, the Corps will have to create a second, larger dam to protect workers from the waters while they make the necessary repairs. “(The dam) gives you a little more protection,” Gettings said.

The initial dam was built by the levee district and stands at about 2 to 3 feet above the water’s current level.

“It doesn’t give you a whole lot of protection,” he said.

The new dam will provide more substantial protection during construction as it is predicted to stand at about 10 feet above the water.

Gettings said this work should be relatively quick, taking about a month.

“In ’93, it took 30 days,” he said. “They were pretty much there.”

Once completed, the Corps will begin repairs on the levee, packing it with natural materials, such as soil. The costs of the levee repairs will be determined by the materials that are used.

During the final stages of repair, the soil from the dam will be used to fill in the remaining gap in the levee.

Repairing the levee itself could, depending on weather, be completed by next spring.

Funding for the flood damage recovery to include the levee is a crucial aspect of the post-flood cleanup.

The Nutwood Levee, while privately owned and sitting atop private property, is under federal control. This means that the federal government via the Army Corps of Engineers is responsible for the maintenance and repair of the levee.

The funding for the levee repairs was already appropriated through the PL84-99 program, which gives the Corps discretionary authority to react to disasters.

However, for non-federal infrastructure or private properties, damage can only be assessed and addressed following a federal disaster declaration.

For those farmers whose fields now stand buried in sand, it is a waiting game.

another venue,� Bradfisch said of the possibility ticket sales don’t rise. “We will probably try and get a one-man band and do a dump in the park.�

A “dump� is a chili event where locals bring chili and then dump it into a pot. Residents “make a party of it,�

Bradfisch said.

Organizers envision the plan supporting residents in scenarios where the business they work at closes down temporarily because of flooding as they did this year.

Bradfisch noted this is busy time of the year flush with events, which might have played a hand in the low interest so far.

In either case, Bradfisch said FloodiGras as a whole will not be canceled but tweaked.

Floodi-Gras will include a John Boat Parade, a cornhole tournament, a 50/50 raffle and other activities. Proceeds from the event will go toward paying expenses for Floodi-Gras first, but left the rest will go toward the fund.

Johnny Appleseed a new addition to Apple Festival

By JARAD JARMON Jersey County Journal The Pere Marquette Lodge Apple Festival is returning for its 12th year this weekend featuring many Calhoun County apple farmers.

This year, it will include a Johnny Appleseed dress-up contest for kids and adults alike, Arielle Niemeyer, organizer, said.

Niemeyer said there was an interest in opening up what the festival offers to allow more avenues for children to take part as well.

In this case, they will have a chance to dress as the famous apple lover himself.

Although not historically accurate, Appleseed, the pioneer tree nurseryman made famous by children’s stories,

is often illustrated with a pot on his head along with worn and tattered clothing and often without shoes.

Niemeyer said it will go to the person with the best rendition of the figure, however they might go about it.

Those who take part will have a chance to win a free night's stay with the lookalike contest. Judging will take place at noon Sunday, Sept. 22. Age groups for the contest will be ages 0-12 and age 13 and older.

As a whole, the annual festival will run from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the lodge, located at 13653 Lodge Blvd in Grafton. The festival will feature a host of apples, apple-related crafts, apple pie and assortment of other items. Niemeyer said this

year will prove to be one of the biggest for the apple festival with 35 vendors slated to take part.

Also, the event will include an apple wine tasting.

Live music will be provided by Matthew Diekemper from 11am to 3pm on the Winery Terrace.

At 12:30 p.m., an apple pie walk, similar to a cake walk, will take place at 12:30 p.m. where visitors will purchase tickets and take a walk for a chance to take home a freshbaked apple pie. Notably, this year’s apple pie walk will include 40 instead 20 at a time, because of the growing interest in this event.

Proceeds from the apple pie walk will be donated to the Friends of Pere

Marquette Foundation. The foundation was formed in 2009 by private citizens working to support, protect, and enhance Pere Marquette State Park. Niemeyer said the foundation helps support programming like the educational programs for children.

The lodge will host its annual pumpkin roll at the Apple Festival at 2 p.m.

Participants can bring their own pumpkin or purchase one at the festival to decorate for a competitive roll down the hill in front of the Lodge.

Second and third place participants will win gift certificates for the Lodge Restaurant and the fastest pumpkin will win the grand prize of a free-nights stay at the lodge.

W

hether it is the flag itself or what it is inspired by and honors, there is a palpable sense of delight for Grafton after it was announced that the city will have a new symbol to be proud of.

On Sept. 28, Grafton officials will be dedicating and raising an American flag believed to be the largest on the Mississippi River in honor of the troops and first responders.

Measuring at 40-by-80 feet at a height of 130 feet, the flag is understood to be the largest on the along the river.

Simply put, this is special.

Residents of Grafton, Jersey County’s oldest city, has another thing to point to as source of pride. It may seem odd to be prideful of a huge flag, but it is no more odd than any size record ever noted like the assortment of over-sized objects like a golfball and a chair in Casey, Ill. This flag will now be a marker of sorts for locals, and maybe even visitors, that you are now in Grafton. Boat operators going down the river will see more than trees, cliffside and wineries.

They will see a giant representation of the patriotism in the area.

Along with admiring the shear size of the flag, people can also take into account the importance of patriotism to the city consisting of a large veteran population. It is a reminder that the city has a veteran population worthy of recognition.

The flag’s introduction into the city has significant veteran involvement, which further drives the point home that the flag is as much a representation of veterans who help protect freedoms we hold dear as it will be a representation of the city.

We look forward to watching that flag fly along the river’s edge and will have a sense of pride we hope the rest of Grafton has as it continues to greet people coming up and down the river.

Patrick Lynch had amazing military career W

hen it comes to years of military service, it would hard to rival the record of Patrick H. Lynch.

Lynch enlisted in the 27th Illinois Infantry in 1861 at age 18 and participated in his first battle in Belmont, Mo. Lynch took part in numerous battles, including the Siege of Corinth, Chickamauga, and Missionary Ridge at Chattanooga.

When Lynch’s regiment was relieved from duty in August 1864, he re-enlisted.

He served the next 15 years with the U.S. Calvary, serving as a scout and sharpshooter. He also became acquainted with Army Scouts Buffalo Bill and Texas Jack Omohundro.

The most dire situation in which Lynch ever found himself occurred while he was stationed at Fort Laramie, Wyo. One day in the early summer of 1876, he and four soldiers were sent out to get fresh meat.

The men overtook a small herd of buffalo about 10 miles from the fort and shot one of the animals. They were skinning it when one of the soldiers spotted an Indian war party bearing down on them. Knowing they were about to be attacked and with no other cover nearby, the soldiers shot their horses to serve as breastworks. After several hours of fighting, one soldier had been killed and three others seriously wounded.

Only Lynch was uninjured, but with his group in serious trouble, Lynch was contemplating shooting himself when he spotted a group of cowboys riding hard in their direction. The men, who worked at a nearby

ranch, had Guest Column been looking for BY BETH MCGLASSON strays when they heard the shots and came to investigate.

Lynch retired from military service in September 1892 and settled in Jerseyville.

He married Mary Martin on July 3, 1899 in Jersey County.

While Lynch bachelorhood was over, his military career was not. In 1898, at age 57, Lynch was called back to active duty to serve as a clerk in the quartermaster’s department at Jefferson Barracks, where he helped equip Illinois soldiers serving in the Spanish-American War. Even after being discharged, Lynch continued to serve his brothers in arms. In 1916, at age 71, he was named Commander of Jerseyville’s Lowe Post of the Grand Army of the Republic. In 1925, he raised more than $125 to purchase bronze markers for the 138 Civil War veteran buried in Oak Grove and St. Francis Cemeteries.

At age 86, Lynch joined the Jerseyville Elks Lodge. At age 89, he marched in Alton’s Armistice Parade, walking half the distance of the parade before being persuaded to ride for the remainder of the parade.

EDITORIAL

A

s long as we have owned Annie’s horse stables, we have had barn swallows nesting there every summer.

But last Wednesday, without any fan-fare-and not even a thank-you note for having stayed in our barn all summer—they packed their bags and headed south. Oh, they left a few bird droppings but that is not what Emily Post, the etiquette authority, would have recommended for a departing house guest.

As I understand it, they spend the winters in Central and South America so that is presumably where they were headed. And next spring, they or their offspring will return to the same specific nests that they have been using for years on the rafters of our horse barn, high above the reach of the barn cats.

Actually, I don’t expect a thank-you note from the barn swallows.

If anything, I should be thanking them.

Do you realize that one barn swallow will consume 60 insects an hour or hundreds of insects per day? And we are talking the nasty kind of insects: mosquitoes, wasps, termites and even buffalo gnats.

They are enjoyable birds to watch as they zip in and out of the barn at speeds estimated to be more than 40 miles per hour as they feed on these bugs all day long. They are also very cheerful birds to have around, happily chirping throughout the day.

The adult barn swallow is slightly smaller than a robin, with a dark blue coloring on the head, back and upper wing; the chest and underside of the wings are an off-white.

The most notable characteristic, however, are the tail feathers.

The tail is split in two parts so that it has a “V” shape to it. These tail feathers were once highly coveted as a fashion item for women’s hats, so much so that the barn swallow was routinely killed for just these feathers.

Eventually, this indiscriminate and unfortunate killing of the barn swallow led to the enactment of the Migratory Bird Act of 1918, which prohibited the killing of all migratory birds except under specified circumstances.

Accordingly, the barn swallow is now a protected species under that Act. In fact, today it is illegal even to have a barn swal-

low tail feather in your posRunner e g id R session.

CH RO NI CL ES The barn swallow mates Guest Column for life.

BY BILL HOAGLAND Typically, they have two broods a year, consisting of about four or five baby birds in each brood.

Things get crowded in those nests, so crowded that individual babies occasionally fall out of the nest and land 10 feet below, sometimes with bad results.

(On more than one occasion, Annie has taken a ladder and has placed the fallen baby back in the nest without objection from the parents.)

One interesting aspect of the barn swallow is that over the years, it has learned to fully adapt to the presence of humans; nearly all barn swallow nests are now built within the walls of man-made structures such as barns, bridges, and even porches.

Unfortunately, their presence in some structures is not always appreciated because of the bird droppings below the nests.

Barn swallows leave on their annual migration earlier than most birds here in the midwest; that is because they have a longer distance to cover.

While some do spend the winter in Central America, many go all the way to South America—a two month trip just to get there.

Normally, the number of swallows migrating together can range from 100 to 1,000.

Then, starting in February, they begin their two month flight back to North America.

Despite their unpopularity with some people (due to “the poop on the porch” thing), Annie and I look forward to the return of the barn swallows every year.

It is an unmistakable sign that spring has begun.

Ride For Wishes adding four-wheelers Smoking in cars Two four-wheeled stars will join motorcycles for the sixth annual Ride For Wishes Saturday, Sept. 21, when bikers and drivers help make wishes come true for Southern Illinois children facing life-threatening ailments.

A stock car racer driven by Brandon King will join the 60 or more expected motorcycles as they take U.S. 67 to Humbert Road and into the Alton Wood River Sportsman’s Club, 3109 Godfrey Road, the stopping point for the 70-mile run.

At the Sportsman’s Club, riders and guests will be greeted by another fourwheeled highlight, the McKay NAPA Auto Parts custom electric golf cart.

The modified cart has custom paint, specially designed seating for four, aluminum wheels, a windshield and street-legal lighting. The McKay Auto Parts network is selling $10 raffle tickets for the tricked-out buggy to benefit Make-A-Wish.

McKay Auto Parts customized golf cart “We expect the stock car will turn a few heads as the motorcycles wrap up the run to help make children’s wishes a reality,� organizer Norma Glazebrook said. “We’re thrilled to have the McKay Auto Parts golf cart at the end of the run.�

Race car driver Brandon King said youngsters are welcome to sit in the car’s driver seat. “It’s a lot of fun for them to climb in and out of the car.�

Brandon, an Alton High School stu-

dent, is a third-generation racer and a competitor for Rookie of the Year at Tri-City Speedway in Granite City.

His father, Mike King, operates King Motorsports.

The rain-or-shine nonstop ride is set for Saturday, Sept, 21, and leaves at noon from Ted’s Motorcycle World, 4103 Humbert Road, Alton. The cost is $15 per rider and $10 per passenger.

The cost includes a barbeque dinner catered by Carvers, a goodie bag and a Ride patch and/or rocker for each person.

The first 100 online registrants will be eligible for a $100 cash prize drawing after the run. Register at https:// rideforwishessouthernillinois.regfox. com/2019 .

Radio personality Trish Gazall from 102.5 KEZK Radio will be broadcasting live from 10 a.m. when registration begins until the ride rolls out at noon.

The ride will be escorted by Alton Police Traffic Officer Sam Riney.

The radio broadcast was arranged

by GCS Credit Union, the ride’s Signature Sponsor for four years. GCS personnel will also be at Ted’s handing out bandanas and other premiums.

The ride is organized by the Southern Illinois Volunteers for Make-AWish, IL to help children in Southern Illinois as they battle such ailments as cystic fibrosis, brain tumors and cancers.

The ride has a contest for riders with a $100 prize. After the barbecue din-

ner at the Sportsman’s Club, there’ll be more contests, prizes, auctions, a 50-50 raffle and a drawing for a $250 gift card to Ted’s Motorcycle World, courtesy of GCS Credit Union Riders will hear from children who have had their wishes granted and those awaiting wishes. Those children and their families will be guests of honor.

Last year’s 2018 ride raised $30,000 to help children. All money raised by the ride goes to help youngsters in Madison, Jersey, Calhoun, Macoupin, Greene and St. Clair counties. The average wish costs more than $6,000.

Last year, more than 75 wishes were granted through the Southern Illinois Make-A-Wish volunteers. “Making wishes come true helps these children deal with their illnesses that might include lengthy treatments,� Glazebrook said. “We couldn’t make dreams come true were it not for the generosity of the riders and our sponsors,� coorganizer Jeanne Wuellner said. “Our Signature Sponsor GCS Credit Union has been wonderful to work with and so generous,� she added.

The credit union began in 1941 in a single office in Granite City. GCS now serves members at eight branches across Southwestern Illinois, offering options for checking and savings accounts as well as personal, auto and home equity loans. The web address is www.mygcscu.com

Disaster preparation a focus during National Preparedness Month

National Preparedness Month is recognized each September as a way to promote family and community disaster and emergency planning. The Illinois Emergency Management Agency (IEMA), and local emergency managers, are encouraging Illinoisans to take time to prepare for potential emergencies at homes, at work, and in the community. Having a plan that includes where to go and how to communicate during disasters, building an emergency supply kit and learning lifesaving skills could help your family, friends, neighbors and employees during a disaster. “A disaster can strike at any time and anywhere: When you are at home, at work or while you are traveling on vacation,� said Acting IEMA Director Alicia Tate-Nadeau. “Today, preparedness is more than building a kit. Community resiliency is achieved when neighbors help neighbors plan for and respond to emergencies. Building a culture of preparedness is the cornerstone of disaster preparedness.�

Here are five steps to Disaster Preparedness: Q Save Early for a Disaster: Can you afford a disaster or emergency? According to the Federal Reserve, 40-percent of Americans do not have $400 in savings. Operation Hope is a non-profit that provides pre-disaster preparedness planning. They work

with adults, youth and disaster survivors to equip them with the financial knowledge and tools to create a secure future.

These programs and services are offered at no cost to a client.

Q Learn Lifesaving Skills: Every day citizens can be first responders. This is a great time to learn lifesaving skills, such as CPR and first aid techniques, in order to provide immediate aid until help arrives.

Q Make a Plan for When a Disaster Strikes: Your family may not be together if a disaster strikes, so it is important to know which types of disasters could affect your area, and know how you will contact one another and reconnect if separated.

Q Teach Youth how to Prepare for Disasters: Disaster planning, response, and recovery efforts should take into account the unique needs of children, who make up roughly a quarter of the U.S. population. Get kids involved in building their own emergency kit. Make sure to include your child’s favorite stuffed animals, board games, books or music in their emergency kit to comfort them in a disaster.

Q Get Involved in Community Preparedness: Check in with your neighbors to see how you can help each other before, during and after a storm. You can also bolster your community’s resiliency efforts by joining a Community Emergency Response Team

(CERT). CERTs train volunteers to prepare for various.

Find your local CERT. IEMA offers disaster preparedness information on the Ready Illinois website (www.

Ready.Illinois.gov), a onestop resource for detailed information about what to do before, during and after disasters. During large-scale disas-

with children now illegal in Illinois Violations can result in fines of $100 to $250Â

By PETER HANCOCK Capitol News Illinois It is now illegal in Illinois to smoke in a vehicle in which a minor child is present.

Democratic Gov. J.B. Pritzker on Friday signed House Bill 2276 into law making it a petty offense to smoke in a vehicle in which there are one or more children under age 18. That can result in a fine of up to $100 for a first violation, and up to $250 for each subsequent violation.

Law enforcement officers are not allowed to issue tickets solely for violating the law, but they can issue tickets if they pull a vehicle over for some other violation. The law also does not apply if the person smoking is a minor who is the sole occupant of the vehicle.

If a minor is present in the vehicle, however, citations can be issued to anyone in the vehicle who is smoking, including the driver and any other passenger.

Earlier this year, Pritzker

ters, IEMA uses the Ready Illinois website, Facebook and Twitter pages to provide critical information about the incident, including shelter locations, road closures, safety information, photos and more.

Thank you The Edwin Fessler Family would like to thank our friends and families for the calls, visits, cards, food, memorial gifts, and most of all for your prayers We are grateful for the care Dad was given by Susie Croxford for many years at home, Willow Rose, and Jerseyville Manor nursing homes.

A special thank you to Crawford Funeral Home, Father Marty Smith, Phillip Wittman, and Rev. David Brown, for a wonderful service in his honor. Alos the Dow Baptist Church who prepared and served a delicious meal for the family.

Joe & Kathy Fessler Susan Rose

signed another bill into law, commonly known as “Tobacco 21,� which makes it illegal to sell or provide tobacco products to anyone younger than 21. That new law, however, removed an earlier prohibition against minors possessing or using tobacco products.

That means minors cannot be charged with an offense solely for smoking. But if they smoke in a vehicle in which other minors are present, they could be cited for violating the new law banning smoking around minors in vehicles.

Proponents of the new law say it’s intended to reduce children’s exposure to secondhand smoke.

For purposes of the law, the word “smoke� means, “to inhale, exhale, burn or carry a lighted cigarette, cigar, pipe, weed, plant, regulated narcotic, or other combustible substance.� The word “vehicle� does not include motorcycles.

The bill was sponsored

by Rep. Jonathan Carrol, D-Northbrook, and Sen. Julie Morrison, D-Deerfield.

It passed the Senate by a vote of 42-10 on May 29. It passed the House by a vote of 97-14 on June 1.

Thank you The Terry Walsh family would like to thank the Jerseyville Police Department for the great care they took to help him. Officers Nick Woelfel, Jake Shane, Scott Woelfel and John Lawson. The Paramedics, the Jerseyville Hospital, St. Louis Mercy West Hospitals and Staff.

Carl, Zack and Colin Crawford. They are truly God’s answer to many people. They are so caring in their job. They made a difficult time bearable for our family by their true compassion. Shonna Crawford for the beautiful flowers and loving touch to everything.

Father Marty Smith for your loving words and touching service. Phillys Wittman for the beautiful music and your singing. Also Gary “Bones� Beirmann for the hall and great meal. And everyone who came to Steven’s house and the visitation and funeral service for all the kind words and beautiful flowers and food. And the tremendous donations to Shriners.

JCHS Cross Country VZHHSV 1RUWK 0DF PHHW

By KRIS SCHEFFEL Jersey County Journal It was a complete sweep for JCHS’ cross country team this past Saturday at North Mac, with the boys winning the top three spots and the girls winning the top two.

Coach Harold Landon described the meet as a huge success for the team. “We tasted some success with our younger runners,� he said.

7KLV LV WKH ÂżUVW WLPH LV over a decade that the Jersey runners have competed at North Mac. Typically, the team would have competed in Peoria on the same course that the state competition is held.

However, with a younger cross country team consisting of mostly freshmen and sophomores, North Mac presented the perfect opportunity to develop the WHDPÂśV FRQÂżGHQFH DQG JHW a few successes under their

belt. “I didn’t think we were ready for that,� Landon said referring to Peoria. “I am putting them in meets where they will be successful to give them a taste of success and motivation for the future.�

First place for the boys was Cole Martinez with a time of 16 minutes and 38 seconds. A junior at JCHS, Martinez has demonstrated consistent improvement since his freshman year.

Landon estimated that Martinez ran about 25 miles a week his freshman year compared to about 40 miles per week now. “Next year ,Martinez will probably be running closer to 50 miles,� said Landon.

Andrew Kribs, a junior who runs in soccer’s offseason, placed second at the meet followed in third by freshman Griffen Williams.

The girls took home ÂżUVW DQG VHFRQG ZLWK WZR

freshman runners: Mekena 'XJJHU LQ ÂżUVW ZLWK D WLPH RI 21 minutes and 58 seconds and Chloe Kallal in second.

North Mac is the third meet of the season, but in spite of that, the team has already shown improvement. “90 percent of the team has been improving every race,� Landon said.

The next three races at SIUE, Alton and Principia will continue to challenge the runners with their hilly courses. “I’m hoping it’s going to pay off in the future when ZH JHW WR D Ă€DW FRXUVH LQ WKH post-season,â€? he said.

Next year Landon hopes that this season will pay off with some runners possibly running at state. “It’s a long process with distance running,� he said.

7KH ÂżUVW KRPH PHHW WKH JCHS Havens Invitational, will be held at Principia College Monday, Sept. 30 at 4:30 p.m.

ATTENTION ALL VETERANS Congress and the White House agree to expand deďŹ nition of war eras to include all who served since Dec.7, 1941. More than 1,600 members of the U.S. Armed Forces were killed or wounded in periods of time not designated as war eras since the end of World War II. The newly signed Let Everyone Get Involved in Opportunities for National Service Act of 2019 - The LEGION Act - honors those veterans, their spouses and descendants, extending membership eligibility in The American Legion Family to hundreds of thousands who had previously been excluded.

The LEGION Act offers American Legion membership eligibility to any U.S. military veteran who served at least one day of active military duty since Dec.7, 1941, and was honorably discharged or is serving now. The act also affects membership in the American Legion Auxiliary and Sons of the American Legion, expanding eligibility for those groups, as well.

American Legion Worthey Post 492 mission is to provide assistance to veterans with VA beneďŹ ts and claims, involve our youth in the great programs of the American Legion, and stay true to supporting the military families and veterans. Our post even offers a scholarship for graduating seniors. Regardless of your level of activity, our members create the strength necessary to further our commitment in supporting veterans,and our fellow active duty service members and their families.

America, it’s military and our veteran community of Jerseyville and the surrounding area needs you and your support as we are approaching our posts 100th Anniversary. Please join our American Legion Family. Applications are available at the Legion Post. For more information you may contact any Legion member or call Mike Heitzig at 618-376-6711. Thank you for your service.

good GROWING

OPEN HOUSE

Keeping you growing with good ideas s University of Illinois Extension

Fall webworms are another sign of summerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s end There are many ways we mark the end of summer.

Some refer to the beginning of school or the closing of the pool, while others view Labor Day as the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;unofficial end of summerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. Another way, if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re more entomologically inclined, is the appearance of fall webworm.

Fall webworm (Hyphantria cunea) â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;nestsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; often start becoming noticeable in our landscapes during the late summer and early fall. The caterpillars will spin their communal webs on the ends of branches on which they are feeding. They have been found on over 400 different species of trees and shrubs. In Illinois, they are most commonly found on crabapple, walnut, hickory, pecan, redbud, sweetgum, maple, and oak.

The adults are bright white moths (in the southern part of its range they may have dark spots on their wings) that will begin to emerge in the summer (there can be two generations per year in southern and parts of central Illinois). The females will lay egg masses that contain several hundred eggs on the undersides of leaves. About seven days later the larvae (caterpillars) will hatch.

The caterpillars will spin a silk web over the leaves as they feed. The caterpillars will remain inside the webbing as they feed, as they exhaust their food supply they will continue to enlarge the webbing. The webbing of mature caterpillars can be 2 to 3 feet long.

After feeding for around 4 to 6 weeks the caterpillars will leave the webbing and spin a cocoon in leaf litter or in bark crevices to pupate.

The webbing created by fall webworm can act as a beacon, drawing your attention to the damage they cause. In most cases, only a branch here or there will be attacked. Occasionally though, entire branches, or trees in extreme cases, can be stripped of leaves if populations get high enough.

As alarming as it may be, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

unlikely to do any long-term damage to the tree. The damage they cause happens later in the year and the leaves they are feeding on have done most of the work that they need to for the year. They also only feed on the leaves, they leave the buds of next yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s leaves alone (the trees should leaf out just fine next year). Add this all up and management of fall webworm isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t usually warranted.

The primary problem with fall webworm is aesthetics. If you just canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stand the sight of them there are several things you can do. One common way of managing them is to prune the affected branches out of trees. Keep in mind that the webbing is only temporary, any pruning you do will be permanent and can potentially hurt the aesthetics of the plant.

The water-resistant webbing fall webworms create makes it difficult to control them with pesticides. If pesticides are used make sure to use enough pressure to penetrate the webbing, or tear it open before spraying. Keep in mind any chemical used may have an impact on any predators and parasitoids that may attack fall webworm. At least 50 species of parasitoids and 36 species of predators have been found to attack them, which is why we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have nearly as many issues with them, compared to Europe and Asia where they have been accidentally introduced (weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not the only ones who have invasive species, we send pest insects to other countries too).

Instead of worrying about their presence, think of fall webworms as a sign of whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s to come, cooler temperatures, changing leaf colors, and pumpkin spice everywhere.

Good Growing Fact of the Week: Fall webworm and eastern tent caterpillar are often confused with one another. Eastern tent caterpillar is out earlier in the year (spring), create their webbing in the forks and crotches of trees, and leave their webs to feed.

News items from the pages of Jersey County Journal

5 Years Ago September 17, 2014 The second largest pharmacy chain in the United States has confirmed its plans to open a store in Jerseyville. CVS Public Relations Director Mike DeAngelis said many details still need to be ironed out, but the retailer has made an initial commitment to the city. Shell, FSâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s GFast Stop, Sammyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Office Lounge, Funk Outdoor Equipment and a building owned by the city of Jerseyville that formerly housed the West Central Illinois Criminal Justice Council will all be leveled to make way for the pharmacy. The store will bring with it jobs and additional tax revenue to the county.

Rural transportation could be on the horizon for Jersey County residents seeking transportation to doctorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s appointments or other transportation. The proposition for a rural transit sytem was most recently brought to the Jersey County Board last October when Ed Helflin, Illinois Rural Transit Assistance Center manager, presented information to the board for a tri-county transit program with Jersey, Greene and Calhoun counties working together. Those looking for a ride would have to call ahead for the service, and if that individual were not a senior, they would pay a small fee for the ride.

10 Years Ago September 16, 2009 The first-ever pre-Harvest Fest event went exceedingly well, according to organizers. The walk/run event â&#x20AC;&#x153;Run into Harvest Fest - Family, Fun and Fitnessâ&#x20AC;? was held Saturday, Sept. 12 at Don Snyders Sports Complex. The money raised from the event will be donated back to Holy Ghost/St. Francis schools.

The third annual Grafton Art Festival began Saturday, Sept. 12 at The Grove Memorial Park. One artist, who drew many spectators, was Dave Perez. Perez was demonstrating wood carving - with a chainsaw. Dave Perez said it generally takes him six hours to complete a masterpiece. Saturday, he was working on carving a bird. There were numerous other artists who had their work on display at the park Saturday afternoon. There was also live music as Kein Bilchik performed from the gazebo. The Banana Bike Brigade was also in town.
