a county is experiencing stable COVID-19 activity, or if there are warning signs of increased COVID-19 risk in the county.

“Warning levels do not automatically move you back in phases.” Anna Yates Jersey County Director of Environmental Health They include: Q New cases per 100,000 people — If there are more than 50 new cases per 100,000 people in the county, this triggers a warning. Q Number of deaths — This metric indicates a warning when the weekly number of deaths increases more than 20 percent for two consecutive weeks. (See, WARNING, A2)

By CONNOR ASHLOCK Jersey County Journal Since 1990, the folks at Tri-County Antique Club “under the windmill” on Route 3 have been preserving and promoting the agricultural history of the Jersey, Greene, Calhoun and Madison county area for future generations to learn about and enjoy. This year, though, they too joined the litany of organizations and groups that have canceled their major fundraising events because of COVID-19. “We felt it was in the best interest and safety of both our guests and workers,” Tom Bechtold, a Tri-County Antique Club board member, said. “Many of our workers are above the age of 50, and we felt the risk was not worth it.” This year, the board had made it their endeavor to find some bigger name entertainment to drum up a larger crowd at the event. “This would’ve been our 30th annual event,” Bechtold said. “We were really looking forward to having a big event, but the plan is to celebrate the next year as our 30th.” Although the group had to cancel the Olden Days Festival, they were still able to host a swap meet on Aug. 22. “Normally, we have a two day swap meet the first weekend in May. Olden Days would’ve been Aug. 22 and 23 this year, so we had it on the 22nd. We may have another one in the fall,” Bechtold said. Also on Aug. 22, during the swap meet, the Jersey County Garden Tractors Pulling Association, which is run by Tri-County club member John Cummings, hosted a pull that day on the club’s pull strip that started at 4 p.m. and ran into the evening, so even though the outcome of this year’s festival was not what the club intended, they at least were able to get some use out of the grounds this year.

Coronavirus impacts cattle shows; beef markets

WEEKEND WEATHER

By CONNOR ASHLOCK Jersey County Journal With the presence of COVID-19 in our area, along with pandemic restrictions being in effect for nearly five months now, it’s safe to say that no one has been left unaffected by the virus. Everyone, to some extent, has experienced how deep the issues stemming from this virus go, touching everything from our community life to personal relationships. Several weeks ago, the Jersey County Fair was to be held, and though most are missing the lemonade shakeups and pronto pups, there are others who are missing those elements of the fair that are the reason it all exists in the first place. County fairs serve as one of the most effective and time-tested means by which agriculture can be showcased to a broad audience. Aside from being an environment where productive conversations can occur about the agriculture industry, the fair serves as a catalyst to a more healthy local industry, especially where livestock is concerned. Local beef producer, cattle showman and feed salesman Garrett Meisner knows this first-hand, and like many in his line of work, is having to adjust as best he can with county and

state fairs canceling this year. “COVID has definitely impacted county and state fairs and thus, farmers too,” Meisner said. “It hurts the everyday guy trying to market and

advertise his product because he loses that connection that he gets by being involved at the fair. For me, this year I can’t see past clients, help current ones or meet new ones.”

Meisner, though, will tell you that the problem goes much deeper than not being able to strengthen rapport with customers. “There’s a lot of families that gave up on showing this year when these fairs were getting canceled. A great portion of families that show livestock are 4-H families. County fair shows were their primary shows, so with them being canceled, they didn’t want to spend the extra money on show feed and other necessities,” Meisner said. Farmer and cattle showman Derek Ebersole, like Meisner, has been involved with cattle shows since before he could walk and laments the fact that young cattle showmen and women are being denied a valuable growing experience this year. “Showing livestock takes work. You don’t just show up on the day of the show and walk a steer or heifer around the ring. These kids — they’ve been working with their animals since they brought them home as calves last year. They worked all year to get their animals ready for the county fair, and now they don’t get to see their hard work pay off,” Ebersole explained. From a business aspect, livestock shows are a vital method of marketing and advertising, no matter the breed or species. (See, BEEF, A4)

67 work unearths question on Arraignment brick pavement in Jerseyville for alleged Dow arsonist rescheduled By JARAD JARMON Jersey County Journal The defense has asked for more time before Deahvion K. Bishop’s arraignment. Bishop, a 21-year-old St. Louis man, was accused of and charged with the arson in relation to the Dow Southern Baptist Church fire. According to the court records, Bishop is being accused of entering the church with intentions of theft and also committing arson in a place of worship. The charges against Bishop also accuse him of damaging a camera system affixed to the AT&T building — damage that was in excess of $500. Earlier this week, Jersey County Public Defender Scott Schultz, who is representing Bishop, filed a motion for a continuance for Bishop’s arraignment. An arraignment is a formal reading of a criminal charging document in the presence of the defendant, to inform him of the charges against the defendant.

In response to arraignment, the accused is expected to enter a plea. His arraignment has been set for 1 p.m. Oct. 5. This is the second time his arraignment has been rescheduled. Schultz explained the defense needed more time to analyze details and evidence of discovery in the case. As a part of it, the basis for the defense’s request for a continuance was to take a closer look at his client’s criminal history, which extends primarily in Missouri that uses different classifications than Illinois. “We anticipate a plea at the next hearing,” Jersey State’s Attorney Ben Goetten said. “Once there’s a plea, the judge will order a pre-sentence investigation (PSI). Once probation has completed their PSI, we would then go to a sentencing hearing.” Goetten reiterated that the State “intends to request a significant amount of prison time as well as an order for full restitution to our victims.”

By JARAD JARMON Jersey County Journal t least for a short time, work last week on State Street unearthed the old brick streets used in Jerseyville way back when and inspired a question among some residents on social media. What about returning to the brick-surfaced streets? On Facebook, the question was posed to the History of Jerseyville page: Would you like to see the bricks back on the roads in Jerseyville? Since, those contracting with the Illinois Department of Transportation have already put the overlay over the road. Even still, the likelihood of seeing a return to this more historic approach to roads is beyond slim. “We have not talked about that at all… nor has IDOT (Illinois Department of Transportation),” Bob Manns, Jerseyville director of Public Works, said. “I think in most communities nowadays, it is purely unrealistic. You have seen cross walks and things use bricks, but not so much with your main-line pavement.” He continued, “The cost factor lends itself to hot-mix

asphalt or concrete pavement.” Would it have been a consideration for State Street, the decision is IDOT’s to make at the end of the day. Following this overlay project, IDOT is planning to return years later to State Street for complete

reconstruction as part of their 5-10 year plan for the roadway. “At that point, all of those will come out,” Manns said. “They would start over with a new base and build a new pavement.”

Royal Bancshares Inc. announces expansion into Illinois Royal Banks of Missouri, completed its acquisition of two banking offices from First Bank. The offices are located in Granite City and Jerseyville Illinois. The transaction increases Royal Banks to 13 full and limited service offices throughout eastern Missouri and Southern Illinois. The company deposits have grown to $730 million. “We are excited to add two wonderful communities to our market areas,” Mitchell Baden, President and Chief Executive Officer, said. “The staff, led by Jamie Hoge in Granite City and Sharon Cameron in Jerseyville, were amazing during the transition. They are a great fit to our client focused operating model. As I’ve said many times, we are very proud of

our community bank roots and I think Jerseyville and Granite City are great fits for our bank!” Earlier this year, the transaction was approved by the FDIC, the Missouri Division of Finance and the Illinois Division of Banking. “We were able to work smoothly with our regulatory partners to gain the needed approvals. Paul Cambridge of Armstrong Teasdale led our legal efforts. I’m truly grateful for his guidance,” Baden said. Royal Banks of Missouri is the banking subsidiary of Royal Bancshares Inc. (RBI). RBI is a $853 million financial services company that currently operates throughout the St. Louis Metropolitan area.

Warning Grafton and 163 in Jerseyville. All of this information and the total number of tests given in each zip code is available on the IDPH website, https://dph. illinois.gov/covid19. People can search for zip codes, number of tested cases, and other useful data that is outside of the general totals. Officials from the local health department noted, though, that this information will not protect you from COVID-19. “There is currently substantial transmission of COVID-19 in Jersey County and the surrounding area,” Yates explained. “This means that COVID-19 is spreading in our area and population in a general way, and the sources of infection are not always known. Knowing case counts by zip codes will not protect you from COVID-19 illness. “What will help in the prevention of the illness is social distancing, masking, avoiding large crowds and proper hygiene.” Although the reasons for counties reaching a warning level varies, a lack of these practices is likely the reason for some of the transmission throughout the county. “The rise in COVID-19 cases are because of several factors which include COVID19 being a novel virus, an increase in large gatherings, relaxation of restaurant and bar restrictions and a disregard for preventative guidelines set forth by public health officials,” Doug King, Health Department Administrator, said. According to the IDPH, some of the common factors for an increase in cases and outbreaks are associated with weddings, large gatherings, long-term care facilities and other congregate settings, travel to neighboring states, bars, and spread among members of the same household who are not isolating at home. Cases connected to schools are beginning to be reported as well. General transmission of the virus in the community is also increasing. Public health officials are observing people not social distancing, gathering in large groups and not using face coverings. In some counties, local law enforcement and states’ attorneys are not enforcing important mitigation measures like social distancing and the wearing of face coverings. In regards to enforcement in Jersey County, Yates with the Jersey Health Department had this to say: “The enforcement is a combined effort with the Health Department, Law Enforcement and Government Officials. The Health Department has shared guidance, education, provided signage, information and data, works with positive cases to prevent them from spreading it to other people, etc. “Businesses need to take responsibility and protect their employees and customers by requiring masks, social distancing and sanitizing frequently. When contacted, we work with each business to ensure they are providing a safe environment for their employees. We receive numerous complaints a day from businesses that are not taking the guidelines and mandates seriously, so when more restrictions are applied to these businesses, it should come as no surprise.” The department is working to bring a pop-up testing site to Jersey County and is urging anyone who is showing symptoms or has knowingly been exposed to a positive individual to get tested.

Olden Days (Continued from A1) But, it’s not only the festival that the club has had to cancel this year. “Our main mission is the preservation of the agricultural history of the region — to preserve that cultural history and educate young people how things were done in the old days,” Bechtold noted. “And that’s the main drive behind our agricultural enrichment program.” This year, the club has had to cancel its agricultural enrichment program classes, which exposes students from all over the metropolitan area to the agrarian heritage of the region. “It’s a field trip for children first though third grade that attend the club grounds. We have different stations set up where they learn how things were done such as making homemade butter and lye soap, how to shell an ear of corn and see old implements and appliances,” Bechtold said. The agricultural enrichment program starts up around mid-April and will go through mid-May in the springtime, as well as from mid-September through midOctober in the fall. “We draw schools from all over: Wood River, Roxana, Grafton, Jerseyville, Alton and even Florissant, Mo.,” Bechtold said. “It’s all put on by volunteers from the club — people who don’t have formal training

in teaching but have the knowledge from growing up on the farm.” Between the swap meets, Olden Days festival and agriculture enrichment programs, the group has had to sacrifice the biggest sources of income this year, which means that the 501(c)3 organization will only be able to rely on donations and membership fees to help pay expenses. “Financially, it will challenge us this year because we don’t have all of our events,” Bechtold said. “In a word, we’re disappointed, but hopeful that it’ll go on next year. We have hope in the future — in the future of the county and the future of the children that we try to teach in the county.” In the meantime, the club is looking forward to being active in the community, which is something that strives to do. “We try to be good neighbors. We provide hayrides at the annual Downtown Country Christmas Festival and participate every year at the county fair parade,” Bechtold shared. “We’ll still try to contribute to the community in any way that we can. We’re looking forward to moving forward.” For those interested in learning more about the Tri-County Antique Club, including membership, donating and community involvement, they are encouraged to contact Tom Bechtold at (618) 946-1002.

(Continued from A1) Q Weekly test positivity — This metric indicates a warning when the 7-day test positivity rate rises above 8 percent. Q ICU availability — If there are fewer than 20 percent of intensive care units available in the region, this triggers a warning. Q Weekly emergency department visits — This metric indicates a warning when the weekly percent of COVID-19-like-illness emergency department visits increase by more than 20 percent for two consecutive weeks. Q Weekly hospital admissions — A warning is triggered when the weekly number of hospital admissions for COVID-19-likeillness increases by more than 20 percent for two consecutive weeks. Q Tests perform — This metric is used to provide context and indicate if more testing is needed in the county. Q Clusters — This metric looks at the percent of COVID-19 cases associated with clusters or outbreaks and is used to understand large increase in cases. “Warning levels do not automatically move you back in phases. The only way Jersey County would move back is if the whole region is moved back,” Anna Yates, Jersey Director of Environmental Health, explained. “The overall region has not met the requirements to move back yet. The threshold is 8 percent and as of Aug. 24, we are at 5.7 percent. This information is updated weekly.” County metrics are intended to raise local awareness and designed to help community leaders, businesses, local health departments, and citizens quickly see the level of viral transmission in their county and make decisions accordingly to keep themselves, employees, customers, students, and loved ones safe, according to the Jersey County Health Department. The metrics are updated weekly, from Sunday—Saturday of the prior week. Jersey County has seen a steady rise in cases through the summer, which has shown a sudden rise in cases over the past few weeks. In July, there were a total of 30 positive cases, increasing the pandemic’s total to 65. In August, that number skyrocketed by over 200, reaching 283 as of Monday. “It is imperative for everyone to do their part by staying home when symptomatic, wearing a face covering that covers your nose and mouth, washing your hands frequently and watching your distance,” a news release from the health department read. “Additional measures include avoiding large gatherings and limiting group sizes.” In Jersey, the number of active cases has continued to grow. It was announced Tuesday, Sept. 1, that there were three new positives in the county, bringing the total number of active cases to 128, 149 have recovered. On Saturday, the Jersey County Health Department also confirmed another has died in relation to COVID-19. The total number of deaths in the county is now up to six. This is an addition to the two COVID-19 deaths Jersey County Health Department confirmed early last week. Both were females in their 80s and 90s. One was a resident of a long term care facility and the other was not. Based on information supplied by the IDPH, there have been 14 positive cases in the Dow zip code, nine in Fieldon, 27 in

Allen Crump Allen Edward Crump, 53, passed away at 11:30 a.m., Monday, August 31, 2020 at his residence. He was born on October 6, 1966 in Alton and was the oldest of five sons born to Billy George and Margaret Ann (Grenzebach) Crump. Allen grew up in Wood River and graduated with the class of 1985 from Wood River High School. He then made the noble decision to enlist with the United States Navy, serving our nation honorably as a Boiler Tech on the USS Raleigh LPD-1 Upon returning home from the service, he began working at the Shell Oil Refinery in Hartford. For the past twelve years, he was the Power Plant Operations Manager on Kwajalein Atoll – United Sates Army Garrison, Ronald Reagan Space and Missile Defense Command in the Marshall Islands. He married his childhood love, Dawn Niemeyer, on March 14, 2014 and although their time together was far too brief, their marriage was blessed beyond measure. Allen maintained an active lifestyle and was an avid bowler and enjoyed playing on various softball leagues throughout the years. He also enjoyed scuba diving and sitting around the poker table with his buddies. His family truly meant everything to Allen and he soaked up each and every moment he was able to share with them all. Whether it was cooking with his wife, Dawn while listening to music; or taking his grandchildren on their annual Eckert’s trips, so long as he was to spend time with them, his heart was full. Running a close second was his love of the St. Louis Cardinals, you would be hard pressed to find a bigger fan, than Allen Crump. He followed every game closely, and he felt each win as well as each loss as if he were a part of the team himself. To put it simply, Allen loved. He loved his friends; his family; his co-workers all the same – because to him, they were all family. He would do anything for anybody without ever expecting anything in return. His honor to his country; his love of his family and

What are your thoughts concerning the Route 67 roadwork through Jerseyville?

Patrick Lynch; he was a soldier, scout, sharpshooter O

ver the years, thousands of Jersey County men and women have answered the call of duty, but few, if any, had a military career as remarkable as that of Patrick Lynch. He enlisted when he was just 18 years old and fought for the 25 Illinois Infantry during the Civil War. His regiment fought in more than 60 Civil War battles, including Chickamauga, Shiloh and Corinth. Immediately after fighting for command of Missionary Ridge in Chattanooga, the regiment marched 115 miles to Knoxville, with Confederate troops dogging them much of the way. When Patrickâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s regiment disbanded in 1864, he re-enlisted and served the next 28 years as a soldier, scout and sharpshooter with the U.S. Calvary. While serving in the Second Calvary, Patrickâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s regiment arrived at Little Big Horn just days after General Custer and 200 members of the Seventh Calvary had been slaughtered. When leaving the battlefield, the Second Calvary encountered a band of Sioux. A 40-mile running skirmish ensued, ending only when an advancing Calvary regiment intercepted them. But Patrickâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s closest call happened near the Snake River in Nebraska, when he and four soldiers were attacked by a band of Comanche. With no cover nearby, the soldiers shot their horses to use as a breastwork. After four hours of fighting, three soldiers were dead. Only Patrick was unscathed. The other soldier had been shot in the jaw

but continGuest Column ued to load BY BETH MCGLASSON weapons for Patrick. Their ammunition was nearly exhausted, but when all seemed to be lost, a group of cowboys came riding hard across the prairie. The men had been searching for stray cattle when they heard the shots. If not for those cowboys, Patrick undoubtedly would not have lived to share his harrowing tale. Patrick retired in 1892 but six years later was called back to active duty. He served at Jefferson Barracks as a clerk in the quartermasterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s department, equipping soldiers in the Spanish-American War. Even after his military career ended, Peter continued to serve his brothers in arms. In 1916, he was named Commander of Jerseyvilleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Lowe Chapter of the Grand Army of the Republic. (The GAR was the largest organization of Civil War Union veterans.) In 1925, he raised more than $125 to purchase bronze markers for the 138 Civil War veterans buried in Oak Grove and St. Francis Cemeteries. Patrick passed away at age 92 and was buried in Oak Grove Cemetery with full military honors. More than 80 years after his death, his legacy continues, a testament to his extraordinary military career. â&#x20AC;&#x201C;â&#x20AC;&#x201C;â&#x20AC;&#x201C;â&#x20AC;&#x201C;â&#x20AC;&#x201C;â&#x20AC;&#x201C;â&#x20AC;&#x201C;â&#x20AC;&#x201C;â&#x20AC;&#x201C;â&#x20AC;&#x201C;â&#x20AC;&#x201C;â&#x20AC;&#x201C;â&#x20AC;&#x201C;â&#x20AC;&#x201C;â&#x20AC;&#x201C;â&#x20AC;&#x201C;â&#x20AC;&#x201C;â&#x20AC;&#x201C;â&#x20AC;&#x201C;â&#x20AC;&#x201C;â&#x20AC;&#x201C;â&#x20AC;&#x201C;â&#x20AC;&#x201C;â&#x20AC;&#x201C;â&#x20AC;&#x201C;â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Q Beth McGlasson is a history buff and vice president of the Jersey County Historical Society. This column originally appeared on the Jersey County Historical Society Facebook page.

Beef (Continued from A1) â&#x20AC;&#x153;County shows play a huge role in advertising,â&#x20AC;? Ebersole said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re advertising your product. With these show cancelations, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll definitely hurt sales this year.â&#x20AC;? Although most livestock shows were canceled this year, there have been some still occurring, namely regional and national shows, such as the Shorthorn Nationals in Abilene, Texas, which Meisner attended, as well as shows in Highland and Taylorville. In September, the Illinois Department of Agriculture will be hosting a youth livestock exposition, but with social distancing guidelines in place. Meisner and Ebersole both agree that the present situation, though gloomy, wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t last forever. In fact, both expect an upturn later this year as far as the beef industry itself is concerned. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s starting to look a little bit better, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s on the commercial aspect of things,â&#x20AC;? Meisner said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The market has been picking up a little lately, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not what we expected before the coronavirus hit.â&#x20AC;? Ebersole echoed similar sentiment with Meisner. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The [beef] market is probably at one of its lowest that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s improved a little, especially when they first had an idea of when things were opening back up somewhat. Several weeks ago it dropped down to a low, but I see it getting back up again,â&#x20AC;? Ebersole said. Still, despite the prog-

ress currently being made, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s much work ahead for producers to accomplish before they see themselves out of the woods. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Producers are really taking a beating on the profits weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re making compared to what the beef prices in the stores are,â&#x20AC;? Ebersole said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going up and people are paying more money, but weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re at a low. The middle man is making more than what they should be, but the blessing in all of this is that everyone is waking up and realizing the importance of supporting the local guys.â&#x20AC;? Even out of the darkest of clouds, there comes a glimmer of light, and for local beef producers, that glimmer of light is an increased community awareness of the quality of local beef. Local beef producer and auctioneer Cody Hanold has noticed the surge in interest of buying local products, especially agricultural products. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There was a big surge because everyone thought there was a shortage in the market,â&#x20AC;? Hanold explained. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have several friends that sell beef, and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re having a hard time keeping it on their shelves.â&#x20AC;? Hanold cited that the increased and persistent interest in local beef could be accounted for people learning the difference in the quality of the product. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re finding out what good, quality meat tastes like,â&#x20AC;? Hanold said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll see more people not only buying lo-

cal beef, but pork as well, and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll see more people buying local because they know what theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re eating.â&#x20AC;? Still, while beef producers are continuing to make strides in developing a local market, they have to sell their product to broader markets as well in order to maintain their business operation. Meat packing houses are booked up through the year and some have gone out of business. With no cattle being bought, farmers still have to pay for feeding and other business-related expenses, which start to pile up as time goes on. Markets are easily affected by the slightest of changes, so it comes as no surprise that the pandemic is affecting the agriculture industry, from not being able to market your product at county fairs to not selling your beef to packing houses. In addition to those elements of business that have been affected, families and young people have had to put their familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s way of life on hold for awhile, missing out on cherished times with friends they usually only see during the show season, as well as invaluable memories. Ebersole summed it up best when he said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;For many of these people, cattle showing is a way of life.â&#x20AC;? 2020 might not have been a year for the books, but it will be one filled with stories of persistence through a challenging time, and beef producers and livestock handlers know this well.

No, it is a runaway train at this point. We wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get a handle on the virus without a vaccine. It is already being handled.

Coronavirus cancels Old Settlerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Days By MEAGAN MCGLASSON Jersey County Journal The latest in a string of cancelations because of COVID19 is one of the areaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s favorite traditions, Kampsvilleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Old Settlerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Days. In a Facebook post released Aug. 30, organizers announced their decision to cancel the festival and expressed regret over the circumstances. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everyone has been asking about whether Old Settlerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Days will go on this year or not, and we finally have the answer. We are deeply saddened to inform everyone that this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Old Settlerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Days has been cancelled,â&#x20AC;? the post read, in part. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have tried to make the event work this year, but we did not want to put on an event that was anything less than our best.â&#x20AC;? This would have been the eventâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 40th year. Typically, Old Settlerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Days is a chance for visitors and locals alike to take a step into the past along the Kampsville riverfront, shopping at vendorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; booths and observing demonstrators making items like soap, candles, bows and more. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s heart wrenching to have to cancel, but it has to be a practical decisionâ&#x20AC;Ś You canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get a six-foot distance

CHECKING

when you have 8 to 10 thousand people coming through,â&#x20AC;? one of the original organizers of Old Settlerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Days, Glenda Sidwell said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This was the first time in how many years there was not water on the original grounds? So, it was a really tough decision. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s heart breaking.â&#x20AC;? While this year will be void of re-enactors, canned goods, childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s activities and other hallmarks of the festival, organizers are already looking ahead to next year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We hope everyone stays safe, and we hope to see you for next yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Old Settlerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Days on Oct. 9 and 10, 2021,â&#x20AC;? organizers wrote. According to Sidwell, the decision was one that was made with the help of local health department officials, who advised on the practicality of putting on the event. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I mean your picnics are canceled, your fair is canceledâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; what else were we supposed to do? It came down to the practicality. We have 8 to 10 thousand people coming in here over the weekend,â&#x20AC;? she added. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be missed.â&#x20AC;? And, as far as Sidwell knows, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also the only year the festival in its entirety has been canceled. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ever been canceled, but you know we havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t ever had a pandemic

Christine Wendell of Jerseyville peruses a book to see if it is something she would want to dive into further Friday. Wendell was one of many patrons that looked through the selection of books at the Jerseyville Public Library Buy-the-Bag sale.

Jersey CASA appoints new executive director Jen Brown has joined Jersey County Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) as its new Executive Director to run this nonprofit organization and help protect the best interests of our communityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s abused and neglected children through specially selected and trained volunteers. Brown has been a volunteer advocate since 2017 and has a Bachelorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Degree from Greenville College. She will use her skills and expertise to manage the day to day operations, recruit CASA volunteers, improve awareness of the organization and the plight of the children it serves. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is rewarding both professionally and personally, to apply my skills and work experience to support abused and neglected children. CASA of Jersey County continues to broaden its outreach within the community, and I feel privileged to be a part of it,â&#x20AC;? Brown said. Brown succeeds Bonnie Hindelang, who has assumed the role of Advocate Coordinator; both will work together to continue to grow the CASA program. CASA of Jersey County recruits and trains community volunteers to work one on one advocating for the best interest of the children. Essentially, CASA volunteers are â&#x20AC;&#x153;an extra set of eyes and ears for the childâ&#x20AC;? in the court and child welfare systems, making sure the children are getting the services they need and are placed in a safe and well-cared for, permanent and nurturing home as quickly as possible. Currently, there are 83 children in foster care being monitored by Jersey Countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s court system, and 65 of those children have been appointed a CASA Advocate. Jersey County CASA presently has 26 advocates and hopes to continue to increase that number so every child in Jersey County Court System has a court appointed advocate. For more information on how you can support Jersey County CASA through donations or Advocacy, visit the Jerseyville CASA Facebook Page, email the office at jerseyvillecasa@jerseycounty-il.us or call the office at 618 498-5571, Ext. 152.

JCH Foundation awards scholarship to local students The Jersey Community Hospital (JCH) Foundation has awarded three scholarships to local students studying for careers in healthcare fields. Recipients are eligible to receive $500 a semester for up to eight semesters â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a maximum of $4,000 in total funding while completing their respective programs. The 2020 JCH Foundation Medical Education Fund recipients are Katelyn Willenburg, Carrollton High School graduate and daughter of David and Cindy Willenburg, pursing an education in Radiology at SIU-Carbondale; Aubrey McCormick, daughter of Kevin and Barbie McCormick and graduate of JCHS pursing an education in Occupational Therapy at LCCC/ SIUE and Samuel Bartels, son of Tim and Beth Bartels and JCHS graduate pursing studies in Kinesiology/Sports Medicine at Eureka College. They join 12 other area college students being assisted by the program who are on their way to becoming nurses, pharmacists, physical therapists, physicians and other healthcare professionals. 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 healthcare 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 $339,000 in assistance to more than 150 students residing in its tricounty service area, encouraging students to return to the tricounty bringing providers and professionals back to the area. The JCH Foundation hosts an annual golf tournament to continue this scholarship and loan program. The 21st Annual JCH Foundation Golf Tournament will be held at Westlake Country Club on Friday, Oct. 2 with 100 percent of the proceeds from the golf tournament supporting the Medical Education Scholarship/Loan Program. Great sponsorship

opportunities and spots for teams and individual golfers are available. The Medical Education Fund program relies heavily on sponsorships and participation to continue to provide these scholarships. Call the JCH Foundation office at (618) 498-8392 for more information. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This scholarship program has become a valuable resource to our organization, with 21 past scholarship recipients currently employed at JCH,â&#x20AC;?
