County approved for disaster relief Decision on aid for homeowners, businesses still pending

By JARAD JARMON Jersey County Journal Jersey County is one of the many counties approved for disaster relief.

Gov. JB Pritzker announced Thursday that the federal government approved his request for federal assistance so that local governments can access grants or loans to help with flood-related losses or costs incurred from battling this year’s historic flooding,

according to a news release.

Pritzker made the request for public assistance for 32 counties at the end of August.

He announced that 27 of them were approved Thursday.

Public assistance will be available in the following counties: Adams, Alexander, Bureau, Calhoun, Carroll, Cass, Fulton, Greene, Hancock, Henderson, Henry, Jackson, Jersey, Knox, Madison, Mercer, Monroe, Morgan, Pike, Randolph, Rock Island,

Schuyler, Scott, St. Clair, Stephenson, Union and Whiteside. Notably, Greene County is absent from this list.

“My administration stands with every resident and business impacted by this year’s flooding, and we will help our communities rebuild stronger and more resilient,” said Governor JB Pritzker. “I want to thank our Congressional delegation for their advocacy, as well as our state and federal partners, for their help secur-

ing the additional resources I requested.”

It is the first time the state has received a federal disaster declaration since 2013. The declaration required a recommendation from the Federal Emergency Management Agency and approval from Republican President Donald Trump.

“We will begin working immediately with FEMA and our county emergency managers to expedite this process as

local governments will have 30 days to submit the proper documentation for funding,” said Acting Director Alicia Tate-Nadeau of the Illinois Emergency Management Agency (IEMA). “While this declaration is specifically for local and state governments, we have been told that the governor’s request for Individual Assistance, which helps homeowners and business (See, RELIEF, A2)

Youth play with nerf guns at “Area 51 Raid”-themed event Friday at Jerseyville United Methodist Church.

Local teens have ‘Area 51 Raid’ themed nerf gun event

By JARAD JARMON Jersey County Journal A swath of people descended on to the town of Rachel, Nev., the closest habitation to Area 51, to raid the famous military base-- many with intentions of seeking extraterrestrial life Sept. 20.

It was largely a joke stirred

by an event made on Facebook, “Storm Area 51 They Can’t Stop Us All.” And more than 1,700 miles away, Jerseyville preteens and teens took part in their own raid of sorts at the First United Methodist Church.

With Nerf guns in hand, preteens took turns “guarding” and “rescuing” an alien, which in

the case was a blue inflatable.

Louie VanDeven, youth director at the church, said they saw this as a kick-off to their fifth quarter events for youth.

VanDeven said they were done in the past at the church, and they were bringing it back, and he saw the craze around Area

By JARAD JARMON Jersey County Journal Jerseyville City Council accepted the rezoning petition intended to make way for an AT&T communications tower to be constructed in the area at their meeting Tuesday, Sept. 24.

More specifically, the city council members approved the petition of Mitzi Groppel and Network Real Estate, LLC, to rezone 22817 Miller Lake Road from a residential dwelling designation to a limited manufacturing district for the tower.

“The intent here is, obviously, to provide enhanced coverage in the area,” Matt Schlichter said of the tower.

“Right now, there are few cell sites you can see in town, and we are basically just trying to bridge a little bit of an area just southwest of town.”

Jeff Soer, director of Building and Zoning in Jerseyville, said AT&T need to pull the zoning permit from the city and the building permit from the county to then build the radio tower.

In the meeting, the council also voted to approve an agreement with the Clean Uniform Company. Kevin Stork, council commissioner, said the service will be used to supply the city with uniforms for street, water, sewer and cemetery crews with included laundry services.

Also, a tourism grant of $850 was approved for the (See, TOWER, A2)

Charity car cruise runs through Grafton Sept. 22

By KRIS SCHEFFEL Jersey County Journal Rain or shine, the Twisted Rodz Car Club has dedicated their time to helping families and charities in the area. This past Sunday, the club raised funds and collected toys for the St. Louis Children’s Hospital.

This is the third year for the Twisted Rodz River Road Run. Each year, the club selects a charity to support. The first year’s funds went towards the prevention of breast cancer and last year’s, an estimated amount of $3,500, went towards suicide prevention. Even last year’s club dues went towards sponsoring a family in need during Christmas.

The goal for this year was to fill the bed of a truck with toys

for the Children’s hospital. By the time the cruise reached the Loading Dock in Grafton, the bed was nearly half full.

President of the club Ben Schaefer said he was is very passionate about the annual fundraisers.

“We take every opportunity we can to raise money for charity,” he said.

The five-year-old club is based out of an auto-shop in Belleville, but its members come from all over with some driving across the river from Missouri.

The cruise was initially scheduled for June 1, but the flood-waters proved too high to overcome. In spite of the circumstance, the club still took donations and managed Kris Scheffel/Jersey County Journal to reschedule the event for Members of the Twisted Rodz Car Club pose at the Loading Dock with a truck full of toys to be (See, CAR CRUISE, A2)

IHSA ruled Jerseyville student ineligible to play

By JARAD JARMON Jersey County Journal The Illinois High School Association (IHSA) Board of Directors sustained a ruling barring a Jersey Community School District student from playing due to not complying with rules regarding transferring from one district to another.

IHSA Executive Director Craig Anderson made a ruling on the decision. The ruling was appealed, but at the Sept. 16 IHSA Board of Directors meeting, the ruling was upheld, Matt Troha, IHSA assistant executive director, said.

The student last year participated in basketball at the student’s previous school and was ruled ineligible for three sport seasons from which the student last participated.

“The student transferred from a private to

a public high school without a move, but it was not the first transfer of the student’s high school career,” Troha said. “Per IHSA bylaws, the student then became ineligible for three sport seasons from which the student last participated.”

According to the IHSA by-laws, a student who transfers attendance from one high school to another high school pursuant to these by-laws, shall be ineligible outside of certain situations. One these situations would be if “the student is enrolling for the first time in the student’s home public member high school with boundaries.”

Because the student is not enrolling in their home public school for the first time, they don’t meet the by-law for eligibility, Troha said.

By KRIS SCHEFFEL Jersey County Journal The Macoupin County Sheriff’s Department responded to a call on Friday, Sept. 20 from the Southwestern High School’s school resource officer (SRO) regarding a student who was reportedly in possession of a handgun.

The incident occurred just before noon with students and staff being released on a half-day dismissal. An anonymous tip alerted the school resource officer to the student, Southwestern Superintendent Kyle Hacke said.

“I’ve been in education for 26 years, and I’ve never had a student bring a weapon (to school),” he said.

Based on comments Macoupin County Sheriff Shawn Kahl made, this might have been a first for the county.

Grafton Harbor expansion Area 51 coming to Jerseyville

By KRIS SCHEFFEL Jersey County Journal A piece of Grafton will be coming to Jerseyville with the opening of Uncorked Spirit. The location of the business, expected to open in November, was rezoned by the city of Jerseyville.

The owners, Jen Gibson, Laura Stemm and Mary-Karen Wittman, wish to bring a bit of Grafton Harbor, from which Uncorked Spirit is expanding, to Jerseyville.

“We love Jerseyville,” Gibson said.

“This is where it’s at.”

The business will feature a bar where visitors can try wines and craft beers including six featured wines from the Grafton Harbor Winery. It will also have slushies and a giftshop where customers can create their own wine baskets and

crates. Crates will be a unique feature of the Jerseyville location.

“We wanted to come up with something for guys,” Stemm said.

The man crates will allow customers to choose from a selection of liquors and BBQ to put into a wooden crate as a special treat for themselves or others.

“You can come in and sip and shop,” Stemm said.

The owners look forward to working with local shops and boutiques in Jerseyville to host events as well as utilize their outdoor space for live music. “(Uncorked Spirit) is a chill place for getting together with friends,” Gibson said.

The business, which has been in progress since the summer, is slated to be opened in November in time for the holiday season. It will be located at 1600 S. State St., Suite J.

Jersey County Historical Society to host 29th Apple Festival The Jersey County Historical Society will host the 29th annual Apple Festival on Saturday, Oct. 5, 2019, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., at 601 N. State St. in Jerseyville.

The day will offer fun activities for all ages. Younger guests can complete pioneer chores to earn “money” to spend in an old-fashioned mercantile. They can also complete pioneer crafts, including tin punch, soap carving, and creating a rag doll.

Dozens of crafters and vendors will sell an assortment of wares, and live entertainment will be offered throughout the day.

The lineup includes Vintage Country, local school groups, the Gibson Girls, and demonstrations by Chun Ji Martial Arts.

There is no entrance fee to the grounds, and for just $5 per person, guests can tour the

historic Cheney Mansion (which dates back to 1827), one-room Lone Star school, Union Forest Church, McAdams and Hagen cabins, and museum. Children 5 and under are free.

A variety of food – including pioneer stew, fish sandwiches, chicken strips, ham and beans, hot dogs, homemade pies, and kettle corn – can be purchased, and Joe Ringhausen Orchards will sell a variety of apple delicacies.

The Jersey County Historical Society is a nonprofit organizations that preserves and promotes local history. It receives no government or local funding, and the Apple Festival is the organization’s major annual fundraiser.

For more information or to reserve a spot as a vendor or crafter, call 618-498-2786.

Car cruise (Continued from A1) this past weekend. During past years, club treasurer Charlie David estimated a turnout close to 100 vehicles.

While the weather certainly had its affects this year, the event remained a success. The club has received more support and interest with individuals such as Cory Wiemelt of

Hawg Pit BBQ looking to get involved. The cruise made the Hawg Pit its final destination after driving along the river road from Shady Jack’s in St. Louis.

“We have a lot of support from the car community, rain or shine,” Schaefer said. “You don’t have to have a classic car or a motorcycle to ride with us, we invite everyone.”

Under the Public Assistance program, FEMA awards grants to assist state and local governments and certain private nonprofit organizations with the response to and recovery from disasters, according to the new release.

Under the guidelines of the program, local jurisdictions can be reimbursed for up to 75 percent of eligible costs.

The program can provide funding for debris removal, implementation of emergency protective measures and permanent restoration of infrastructure.

The release states the program also encourages protection from future damage by providing assistance for hazard mitigation measures during the recovery process.

The state will work with FEMA to manage the program and administer the funding.

The governor has also directed the Illinois Emergency Management Agency to work with affected areas not covered by this federal disaster declaration to explore all available options to help them in the wake of this disaster, according to the release.

This could include further damage evaluations, appealing the federal denial or identifying other funding sources.

In August, Pritzker’s office detailed more than $69 million in direct losses caused by the flooding, including $61 million in losses for state, county and local governments and more than $8.2 million in losses for individuals.

The officers have been trained for such situations, Kahl said.

“The officers, school and everyone did a good job getting the proper people notified,” he said.

The student, a juvenile who authorities did not name, has been in custody since the incident on Friday. His case has been forwarded to the State’s Attorney’s office, Kahl said.

Police have not released possible motivations of the

student regarding the incident.

However, superintendent Hacke said the student had “expressed no intent to harm others.”

The school code allows up to a 2-year expulsion for weapons on school premises.

Hacke said the school board will first have to have a hearing, however, to determine the status of the student in the district. The school board’s decision will have no impact on the potential criminal charges the student may face.

“It’s sad that we have to do this, but it is a part of our world nowadays,” Kahl said.

The incident is still under investigation.

Pritzker’s office said more than 1,000 miles of roadway and bridges were damaged or left inaccessible, and the flooding impacted more than 1,400 homes and 2.1 million people. Of those, 42 homes were destroyed, 178 sustained major damage, 419 had minor damage and 708 were impacted by rising floodwaters.

A Small Business Association survey identified 76 businesses and nonprofits with major impacts from this disaster and 217 with minor impacts.

(Continued from A1) 51 to be a good theme for a fun Nerf gun war.

The rules were simple capture-the-flag style rules with some Area 51 Raid-themed twists. Inside the large hall at the church, the attendees were on either side of the hall. One side was Area 51, which consisted of a few inflatable walls.

Those “raiding” were on the other side.

They were tasked with getting to the blue inflatable alien and bringing it back to the other side of the hall without getting hit.

If those descending on the other side of the hall “Naruto Ran,” they were impervious to the Nerf bullets— a nod to the Area 51 event that inspired the Nerf gun war. To ensure they would not get shot, the Area 51 event in Nevada called for people to Naruto Run, which refers to an animated TV show where the characters run with their arms behind them and head down.

Each round was short-lived but chaotic with nerf guns flying each way, as the night went on. The participants included plush balls into the mix and added twists like only “Kyles,” people in green jerseys, can go for the alien.

A Kyle is a nod to an internet joke, stereotyping people with the name, Kyle, as young white men who consume energy drinks and may engage in unwise shenanigans.

For those at the event, the actual raid in Nevada, which turned into more of small alien festival with only a relatively small number going toward Area 51, was funny.

“I think it is hilarious how something that somebody could post as a kind of a joke takes off like that,” VanDeven said.

Preteens and teens at the nerf gun event saw the actual raid as stupid, but largely entertaining. One of the youth in attendance, Colin Kaylon, 13, said he would’ve gone if he could if only to watch it unfold.

“I would just be in the distance in a lawn chair, eating Doritos,” he said.

Anna Dial, 13, saw the Facebook event as a joke as well.

“I thought everybody was joking,” she said. “I just thought everybody was not going to go. Why would you even go? It is a military base…Then I found out that it was serious…People are very dumb.”

She was surprised any went to Nevada but wasn’t surprised by the reaction people had toward the event itself.

“People just like aliens,” Anna said.

Anna said she had no interest in attending Area 51 event. Although a believer that extraterrestrial life is out there in space, she was skeptical an alien or alien technology would be at the base.

Youth walks away with a blue inflatable alien in a nerf gun capture-the-flag style event at the Jerseyville United Methodist Church.

Tim Thurmond, youth director at the Jerseyville First Baptist Church who volunteered at the Nerf event, said was more interested in what social media could do.

“I knew that only 2 percent of those people who said they were going would go,” Thurmond said. “But, I thought it was interesting how quickly social media got people excited about being part of a team…I think it was an interesting social experiment.”

“They wanted to be part of something people would talk about,” he said. “People want to go where they belong.”

Some were his friends who intended on going but were unable.

“I am just glad no one got hurt,” he said of those people who did go to Nevada.

Area 51 was a good subject for the event, Thurmond said.

“It is the unknown.” “Why are people obsessed with the Loch Ness monster and Bigfoot? It is the unknown. We want to know everything, and if we don’t know it, there has got to be a reason why we haven’t been told about it.”

Although he did not have interest in the Area 51 raid, Thurmond was particularly excited about Friday’s event at the church.

“This is wonderful,” Thurmond added.

“That is what I think is the greatest thing about the Area 51 raid. It is letting people just have fun with it… As much drama as there is in the world right now, it is nice to have something fun for people to just laugh at.”

Floodi-Gras concert is on; Locals see state lawmakers consider cap on insulin costs other activities cancelled

By KRIS SCHEFFEL Jersey County Journal Destiny Yarrington of Grafton was diagnosed with Type-1 diabetes when she was only 8 years old. And now at the age of 21, she is currently struggling to keep up with the rising costs of insulin.

That may change with state and federal legislators playing around with the idea of capping the price of insulin.

A student at Southern Illinois University at Edwardsville, Yarrington works a minimum wage job just to keep up with her tuition and insulin needs. She estimates that she pays over $900 a month for her insulin.

“College students are broke anyways and trying to pay $1,000 a week is impossible,” she said.

The state of Illinois is looking to make life with diabetes a bit easier through a new bill, Senate Bill 667.

The bill proposes a cap on insulin prices at $100 for a 30-day supply. The bill’s sponsor, Senator Andy Manar of Bunker Hill, cites figures from the Health Care Cost Institute, which estimate the cost of insulin having almost doubled from 2012 to 2016. A single vial, according to Manar, costs a U.S. citizen on average $135.50 with the average month’s supply costing about $800.

Last spring, lawmakers were unable to combat stiff opposition from those in the pharmaceutical industry to place controls on all prescription medications. Thus, legislation is now focused on insulin because of the enormity of the problem’s scope and the number of individuals the costs affect.

“The cost of insulin clearly is breaking families that we represent,” he said.

Similar considerations are being discussed at the federal level as well. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has introduced a plan to lower the prices of 250 medications, insulin included. The proposed legislation will bring the costs of these medications down to a level comparable with other nations, and penalize those companies which raise medication costs faster than inflation.

If the state of Illinois passes SB 667, only state healthcare recipients will be impacted. However, if a bill is passed at the federal level, those on private insurance will also see the effects of a cap on insulin.

For Yarrington, the difference between the over $900 she spends now and the $100 proposed by the state is enormous.

“That would make a huge difference,” she said. “You can check your blood sugars all you want, but you still need insulin.”

The prices are too expensive, Yarrington said. But for diabetics, the high costs of

insulin costs are only one problem among many.

As a Medicaid recipient, she has faced more challenges with her provider at Washington University refusing to take her insurance leaving her without healthcare resources that can make Type 1 more manageable.

“What do I do?” she asked. “There are only so many diabetes specialists.”

As a Type-1 diabetic, she is insulin dependent, meaning that there are no alternatives to the medication.

It is an autoimmune disorder, which leaves the pancreas unable to produce its own insulin as a means of balancing blood sugars. For those with Type-2 diabetes, it is different. They continue to produce insulin but at lower levels than that of a healthy individual. With Type 2, there are alternatives to insulin and lifestyle can play an important role in managing the condition.

“You can’t prevent Type 1,” Yarrington said. “It just happens. You just got unlucky.”

Her condition has made the hospital a frequent visit for her.

“I couldn’t even count how many times on both hands that I’ve had to go to the ER,” she said. “You have to or you could die.”

Without a provider willing to accept her healthcare, Yarrington has little recourse when it comes to getting insulin. She only has a month’s worth of insulin.

Worst case, she said, a person is admitted to the emergency room, where they will send you home with any unused insulin.

This story includes information provided

By JARAD JARMON Jersey County Journal The Floodi-Gras concert featuring Bill Forness, a Johnny Cash tribute artist, is still slated for 7 p.m.-9 p.m. Oct. 5. Other activities slated to go along with the event do not fair as well, according to a lead organizer.

Christine Brame, who created the event, said because of a lack of local support and “negativity,” the Jon Boat Parade was cancelled.

“The parade was just something we were trying to do to bring everyone together and just have some fun,” Brame said.

The cornhole tournament, Fish Fry and car show have been cancelled.

The event was intended to be an ongoing charity in the area.

Health Department to face flu with clinic Fridays in October It’s that time of year again– flu season.

And again, this year Jersey County Health Department will be offering Adult clinics for those ages 19 and older every Friday in October from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. and 1-4 p.m. Or you can get your flu vaccine from the convenience of your car on Saturday, October 5th, from 9 a.m. to noon in the parking lot of Outrageous Outdoors.

Jersey County Health Department will also be hosting a “Say Boo to the Flu” event for families on Friday, Oct. 25, from 4-8 p.m.

Flu shots for the whole family will be available along with food, games, prizes and more.

Many people don’t realize it, but the flu can be a very serious illness. It causes thousands of deaths in the United States every year, many of which are among previously healthy individuals.

The best thing one can do to protect oneself and those around that person is to get vaccinated before the flu starts circulating in your community.

Vaccination is especially important for certain people who are at “high risk” of serious complications from seasonal flu. People at high risk include adults age 65 years

and older, children younger than five years of age, pregnant women, and people of any age with certain chronic medical conditions like asthma, diabetes or heart and lung disease.

The department accepts the following insurance plans for both children and adults: Aetna, Blue Cross/Blue Shield, Coventry, Health Alliance, Healthlink, Humana, United Healthcare, Medicaid and Medicare (under certain guidelines).

Please check with your insurance for eligibility. Clients who do not have health insurance may qualify for the Vaccine for Children (VFC) program (ages 6 months to 18 years of age). The VFC program is available for the uninsured and those with health insurance that does not cover immunizations.

Individuals covered by a Medicare HMO must go to another provider to receive their flu and pneumonia vaccinations at no charge.

If attending a clinic is a hardship due to health reasons or physical limitations, vaccinations are available in the home. Phone (618) 498-9565, ext. 301, for more information about this home service or for information about influenza and/or pneumonia vaccine.

insurance, car payments, etc.”

This goal might not come to fruition based on ticket sales, Brame indicated. Any proceeds leftover after paying for the concert will go toward a one-time donation to an undetermined charity or organization, Brame said.

Brame noted if ticket sales reach the level they expected initially, the money will still go toward its original intended purpose.

Brame clarified the concert is set in stone, and noted there were no intentions of canceling the concert.

Bill Forness and One More Round will be performing at Mason Hollow Park, Springfield St. and Main St. The band will feature Sharon Newell as June Carter during the performance.

The show delivers hits from the 1950s onward—most notably, “Ring of Fire”, “Folsom Prison Blues”, “I Walk The Line”, “Boy Named Sue”, and the Grammy winning “Jackson.”

Other conveniences include beauty shop/barber shop, a large community room and outpatient therapy on site.

In addition to our independent senior living apartments, Hawthorne Inn will offer assisted living services to residents who may need a little help in their daily lives.

“Jerseyville Manor was developed in 1992, and we

are proud to have been able to help so many people over the years.”

Upon completion, Liberty Village of Jerseyville will provide a comprehensive selection of senior living options supported by a full continuum of on-site health care. Besides the new Hawthorne Inn independent and assisted living apartments, the many services already offered are Jerseyville Manor Skilled Nursing, Bounce Back Rehabilitation, AJ’s Fitness Center, Garden Court Memory Care and The Villas Single Family Homes.

Bleed kits in schools are a sad state of affairs

The issue: Bleed Kits have been offered in schools Our view: Kits are a necessary inclusion, but a sad mirror on the state of America.

Executive Editor: Julie Boren

S

chools are always in need of supplies and support from the state, but we never expected schools would be in the position they are in now.

The Jersey Community School District along with schools across the state were provided bleed kits, fitted with supplies to stop and treat bleed wounds. The Illinois Terrorism Task Force sent out the kits to combat preventable deaths resulting from blood loss.

This deserves pause. These bleed kits are an indication of the world we live in today.

The move was a response to the deaths of several students in Chicago schools, but more specifically the move is one following the now common mass shootings that have attained an ever-present foothold in the country. The organization behind the bleed kits, Stop the Bleed, worked with the American College of Surgeons Committee to put together the program in response school shootings.

We are of two minds on this.

It is certainly a welcome addition to the district — more tools on hand at the disposal of the nurse and teachers to use in the event of a crisis.

Crisises, like that of a mass shooting event, can occur in any district as has been shown with the past incidents in the country, more recently in Highlands Ranch, Colo. in early May. Having gauze, tourniquets and other supplies ready for these moments is a great proactive step should a need arise.In the event of something like a shooting, minutes, and even seconds, count in saving a life. Emergency services are not on scene immediately and for some scenarios involving blood loss, that immediacy is what is needed.

But this is a bandage, both metaphorically and literally, on a bigger issue.

It is sad we have gotten to the point— a point where we need to anticipate mass shootings or any event where a student or students would face the kind of blood loss these kits are geared to address.

Is this what to expect going into a school now?

How have we gotten to this point? When did our schools become war zones where bleed kits are necessary?

Some might point to the prevalence of guns or lack thereof in these soft target areas and in the country as a whole. Others think it is merely an matter of mental issues.

Whether it is guns, mental health or a smattering of the two, one thing is clear. We as a state and as a country need to analyze how we got here. Otherwise, responses like bleed kits will simply be bandages meant to give us more time, but not one that will fix the problem.

Hopefully, the state will continue to think about the underlying issues that spawn these issues in school and come up with solutions so we are not living in a world where this is accepted as a normal.

Ware grew to become well-known, respected in area G

eorge Wonder Ware was born in Massachusetts in 1836. At age 20, he left his family to move west, eventually settling in Jerseyville, where he became a well-known and respected member of the community.

George initially worked as a clerk in a mercantile. In 1859, he partnered with Dr. White to purchase the Morean Drug Store, one of the oldest businesses in Jerseyville. That same year, he married Theodosia Beardslee.

The drug business thrived, and in 1872 George and Theodosia built a beautiful 14-room home on West Carpenter. Theodosia lived in the home just two years before she passed away at age 36.

The following year, perhaps to distract himself from the Theodosia’s death, George left the drug business to enter the banking business.

In 1877, he remarried. His new wife, Julia Fry, was the daughter of General Jacob Fry of Kane, who served in the War of 1812 and Black Hawk War. In 1890, George returned to the drug business. A decade later, he had a beautiful building built on the southeast corner of State and Pearl Streets to house his drug store. It still stands today.

George was once interviewed by a local newspaper and shared some interesting insights into the drug business. He recalled when the price of quinine (used primarily to

treat malaria) Guest Column skyrocketed BY BETH MCGLASSON to the outrageous price of $4.50 during the Civil War. He also recalled a time when all elixirs, tinctures, pills, and powders were made at the drug store from herbs, roots, and leaves.

He explained how they made vanilla by combining vanilla beans with alcohol. Four ounces cost a quarter. The staff also made baking powder by combining cream of tartar and bicarbonate of soda. A pound cost 35 cents.

Alcohol and whiskey sold for 50 cents a pint, and the sale of Laudanum (a 10% solution of opium powder in alcohol) was unregulated.

George died in 1929 at age 92, but his son, Frank, continued the business and operated it under the name F. M. Ware Drug until April 1946. He sold the business to Thrifty Drug.

As for the beautiful Ware home on West Carpenter, Frank and his wife lived in it until 1946, when it was sold it to the Jacoby Brothers. It was used as a funeral home for decades and today houses West 708 Salon.

It’s not easy being a two-headed snake L

ast September, an odd thing happened in the snake world.

Within a two-week span of time, two very unusual copperhead snakes were discovered, one in Virginia and one in Kentucky; both snakes had two heads and only one body.

Each snake was estimated to be less than a month old when found.

While you may have heard that two heads are sometimes better than one, that rule does not apply to snakes.

You will see why in a minute.

Herpetologists examined each snake and found that the anatomical situation was the same in each snake.

With regard to the Virginia snake, for example, each head of the snake was equipped with a complete set of fangs, venom sacks and throat but the rest of the body was just like any other snake—one lung, one heart and so on.

Each head was capable of envenoming prey and eventually swallowing that prey, but guess what?The head that bit its prey did not tell the other head that it was intending to swallow what it had envenomed.

The other head, sensing that a meal was nearby, would try to swallow what was already in the process of being swallowed by the other head.

Talk about a major food-fight!

The end result of all this is that normally, two-headed snakes starve to death because they compete for the same food and neither one gets to swallow it.

This quirky story really peaked my interest so I did some additional research on two-headed snakes. It turns out that there is a herpetologist who specializes in the study and handling of two-headed snakes.

In fact, he has studied more than 950 two-headed snakes. He has determined that with proper supervision, two-headed snakes can survive but it is a labor-intensive project because they have to be fed at the same time

S o m e two-headed CH RO NI CL ES snakes having proper Guest Column supervision

BY BILL HOAGLAND have survived and have lived a full life. One zoo had a two-headed snake for more than 17 years.

The St. Louis Zoo had a two-headed snake--named “We”--that also lived a long time.

Oddly enough, two-headed snakes that do survive are in great demand as pets. And here is a bit of weird trivia to get your head around: two-headed snake owners include Ben Franklin, Thomas Edison, Thomas Jefferson and Ellen DeGeneres.

So, are you wondering, like me, as to what happens when an attempt is made to breed a two-headed snake with a normal snake?

Are the two heads going to argue over the choice of a mate? Do the astrological signs need to be aligned? Does the prospective mate need to be a Gemini?

Well, believe it or not, there is a herpetologist at the University of Valencia in Spain who has a two-headed king snake that he has been maintaining for several years and this year, he is going to attempt to breed this snake with a one-headed snake. Should we “keep our fingers crossed” that the two heads can agree on a mate and to get the job done?

Maybe so.

Ben Allen, AHFP partner and Grafton resident, spoke before a full city hall Tuesday about the stench that residents have complained about since the plant began processing fish in May. Two engineering firms are working with AHFP to resolve the odor. But, if it cannot be resolved, Allen said the company will look to relocate to an industrial park, most likely southeast of Grafton. There have, in fact, been positive impacts as a result of the plant.

was given the opportunity to attend workshops from July 27 through July 31 at The Mark Twain House & Museum. After the workshop and lectures, Gracey said it further validated his belief that Twain should be one historical profile covered at JCHS because of how his life and writings “provides real insight into America’s history.� In addition, Gracey said the workshops helped him add “tremendous depth of literary knowledge� about Twain.

Illinois Terrorism Task Force distributes bleed kits to Jersey County schools

By KRIS SCHEFFEL Jersey County Journal Illinois is officially the second state in the nation to introduce bleed kits in school districts including the Jersey Community School District.

Jersey has now received five kits to be directed to each school. The kits are a part of a mandate by the Illinois Terrorism Task Force to combat preventable deaths resulting from blood loss.

Superintendent Brad Tuttle said the kits were delivered to East School last week with the school nurse having been trained on its use back in August. “We were ahead of the game,� Tuttle said.

The kits contain two pair of Nitril gloves, one 6-inch emergency trauma dressing, two responder compressed gauze, a combat application tourniquet, trauma scissors, a survival blanket, an instruction booklet and a permanent marker. The kits cost $54 each, paid by the Illinois Terrorism Task Force.

Chad Hoseman, Regional Office of Education assistant superintendent, said the mandate was a response to the deaths of several students in Chicago schools, which could have been prevented by having a kit and trained

Kris Scheffel/Jersey County Journal

staff member available. “It’s basically to stop preventable deaths from major cuts or wounds,� said Hoseman.

The organization behind the bleed kits, Stop the Bleed, worked with the American College of Surgeons Committee to put together the program in response school shootings. “Stop the Bleed kits provide the tools to help the public save lives, but the knowledge and confidence

to save a life comes with proper training,� Mary Connelly, director of the Illinois Medical Emergency Response Team, said in a state news release.

According to the release, the Illinois Terrorism Task Force is determined to train 1,000 school nurses by February 2020. “The goal was first to train five people, then up to 20 and finally everyone,�

Hoseman said.

Some schools, Hoseman

said, are looking to have a bleed kit available to teachers and students in every room.

The staff will not receive the necessary training for use of the bleed kits until the schedule for professional development days has been approved, Tuttle said. It is an approval that is done at the state level.

In addition to the bleed kits, Jersey schools have received hygiene and lice kits for students in need.

Illinois offering tax amnesty Illinois taxpayers who incurred tax liabilities between July 1, 2011 and June 30, 2018 may be eligible for a one-time tax amnesty program.

Beginning Oct. 1, eligible taxpayers who pay their eligible tax liabilities in full will have associated penalties and interest waived. Taxpayers have until Nov. 15, to make a full payment on their liabilities and file the required paperwork with the Illinois Department of Revenue (IDOR). “Now is an excellent opportunity for taxpayers with tax liabilities to pay what they owe and come into compliance with the law,� David Harris, Illinois Department of Revenue acting director, said. “By taking advantage of this amnesty program, taxpayers can eliminate any eligible tax debts owed, without penalty or interest. This allows them to have a clean tax slate with the State of Illinois.

The Department of Revenue is committed to achieving a tax system where everyone pays their fair share and citizens can trust they are treated equitably.

This one-time amnesty program helps us achieve that goal,� Harris said.

During budget negotiations this year, Governor J.B. Pritzker proposed a tax amnesty program for taxpayers who have state tax liabilities, and the General Assembly agreed to include the program as part of this year’s fiscal budget.

The Governor’s Office of Management and Budget estimates the tax amnesty program will recover $175 million in outstanding tax liabilities.

To participate in Illinois’ Tax Amnesty Program, taxpayers must pay all outstanding tax on an amnesty qualifying period in order to have eligible penalties and interest waived.

Taxpayers who failed to file during the original filing period will need to

file an original return in addition to making full payment of tax due. For taxpayers who want to report changes to previously filed returns, an amended tax return and full payment of tax due are required.

The tax amnesty program includes most types of tax liabilities and penalties, but excludes taxes not collected

by IDOR, such as property or local government taxes, and some fees, such as bad check fees and outside collection agency fees.

IDOR is in the process of mailing notices to certain eligible taxpayers listing their liabilities and giving instructions on how to pay. Phone calls should be directed to the number listed on the taxpayer’s notice. Taxpayers, including those who do not receive a notice from IDOR, seeking additional information should visit IDOR’s Tax Amnesty web page located at tax.illinois.gov.

State seeking snowplow drivers The Illinois Department of Transportation today renewed its call for qualified individuals to step forward and apply for seasonal positions to help with snow-andice removal across the state.

Through the department’s annual “snowbird� program, temporary snowplow drivers are hired every year on a full-time and on-call basis. “Snowbirds are a critical part of our overall effort to clear roads and keep Illinois moving during snowand-ice season,� said Acting Illinois Transportation Secretary Omer Osman. “Not only does the job perform an essential public service and ensure safe travel, but it’s a great way to earn extra money during the winter months.�

Four horses impounded near Jersey Horse abuse said to be common issue in county

The contents of a Stop the Bleed kit are put on display.

Snowbirds are required to promptly respond to emerging weather situations for snow-and-ice removal and stay prepared to work in emergency conditions at any time, including nights, weekends and holidays.

Applicants must have a commercial driver’s license and submit to a criminal background check. A preemployment physical, vision testing, and drug and alcohol screening also are required.

Veterans are encouraged to apply. In rural areas, farmers and agricultural workers have historically filled out the snowbird ranks.

Applicants will be selected based on availability, jobrelated experience and qualifications. For additional information, contact IDOT.

By KRIS SCHEFFEL Jersey County Journal Four horses were impounded last week in Greene County over animal welfare concerns.

Randy’s Rescue Ranch accompanied by Greene Sheriff Rob McMillen went to the property near Eldred to retrieve the horses.

Cases such as this are not uncommon in the area.

Jersey County Sheriff Mike Ringhausen said that most reported cases of animal abuse involve horses. “The ones that we have had recently have involved horses,� he said. “There was a case a few months ago.�

The horses, three adults and one foal, are under the care of Randy’s Rescue Ranch in O’Fallon. In addition to showing signs of starvation, one of the horses was reportedly presenting with an injury to its head near the poll. “It was a pretty serious injury,� Sheriff McMillen said.

McMillen said they are currently awaiting assessment by a veterinarian to rule out any other factors, such as illness, that may have contributed to the condition of the horses.

The owner of the horses refused to sign over ownership to the rescue ranch claiming the horses were fine only a month before. “I grew up around horses,� McMillen said. “I know a horse doesn’t get in this condition in 30 days.�

The Illinois Department of Agriculture received a complaint several months ago regarding the horses and paid a visit to the owner. McMillen said the department then gave the owners instructions, including provisions to provide feed, water and veterinary care, to comply with before following up earlier this month. “We found the horses to be back in the bad condition again,� he said.

The owner was then given a number of hours to comply with further instructions before the sheriff impounded the horses. “Once I saw the neglect of the horses, I decided to start a criminal investigation,� he said.

The owner has not been arrested. Police officials are awaiting a report from those assessing the horses.

The incident is still under investigation. “Once they impound a horse or animal, the owner has seven days to appeal,� said McMillen.

If appealed, an administrative judge will rule on whether the horses need to be returned.

Southwestern track, football field in final stages

By KRIS SCHEFFEL Jersey County Journal The repairs to Southwestern’s track and football field are reaching the final stages, according to the Southwestern School Board meeting.

Superintendent Kyle Hacke said it was “nearing completion.”

The football field was re-sodded this year, but it was the track that saw the most work.

“It was in bad repair,” Hacke said.

The all-weather track had its final top coat and awaits striping. Landscaping along the track will also see some work

with seeding and grating planned for the near future.

Skertich said the completion of repairs will be weather dependent.

The school board approved the hiring of a new eighth-grade volleyball coach and middle school coaches for both boys’ and girls’ track.

The board will now implement a consent agenda for future meetings. A consent agenda allows members of the board to vote once on a series of routine items such as minutes and finances.

“It will expedite the meeting and make things faster,” Hacke said.

Panthers Quaterback Matthew Jackson scores a touchdown on a QB sneak in a Friday game against Civic Memorial High School. Jersey Community lost 14-21. Jersey is 1-3 and last in the conference.

Trout season opens Oct. 19 The 2019 Illinois Fall Trout Fishing Season opens Saturday, Oct. 19 at 57 ponds, lakes, and streams throughout the state.

According to Blake Ruebush, District Fisheries Biologist with the Illinois Department of Natural Resources, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Fall Trout Season will occur at Siloam Springs State Park this fall. There will be no trout season at King Park.â&#x20AC;?

In recent years, local fishing enthusiasts have enjoyed a trout fishing opportunity at the lagoon in Pittsfieldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s King Park. This year, the nearest opportunity will be in Adams County.

An early opportunity at select trout sites â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the Fall Catch-and-Release Fishing Season â&#x20AC;&#x201C; will open Oct. 5 at select locations. No trout may be kept during the catch and release fishing period, but anglers can keep trout after the opening of the regular season beginning Oct. 19.

The Illinois catchable trout pro-

gram is funded by those who use the program through the sale of Inland Trout Stamps and through the Illinois Fish Management Fund.

The IDNR has added one new site for Fall Trout Fishing in 2019 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Kaufman Lake in Champaign â&#x20AC;&#x201C; maintaining the stocking of rainbow trout to 67,000 fish in the fall season. Rock Springs Pond in Decatur will be temporarily removed from stocking due to a maintenance project at that site.

No trout may be taken from any of the stocked sites from Oct. 1 until the fall trout season opens at 5:00 a.m. Oct. 19. Anyone attempting to take (harvest) trout before the legal harvest season opening will be issued citations.

All anglers â&#x20AC;&#x201D; including those who intend to release fish caught before Oct. 19 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; must have a valid fishing license and an Inland Trout Stamp, unless they are under the age of 16, blind or disabled, or are an

Illinois resident on leave from active duty in the Armed Forces. The daily catch limit for each angler is five (5) trout.

Illinois fishing licenses and Inland Trout Stamps are available at DNR Direct license and permit locations, including many bait shops, sporting goods stores and other retail outlets.

Check the IDNR website at: http:// dnr.illinois.gov/DNRDirectMonitor/ VendorListing.aspx Fishing licenses and trout stamps also can be purchased by using a credit card through DNR Direct online via the IDNR website at www.dnr.illinois.gov.

Not all fall trout sites open at 5:00 a.m. on opening day. Anglers are reminded to check the opening time of their favorite trout fishing location prior to the season.

For more information about all site regulations, anglers should contact individual sites that will be stocked with catchable-size trout.

Avoid medication errors with these tips

Prescription medications are a necessity for many people. The American Academy of Family Physicians says that, each week, four out of five adults in the United States will use prescription medications, over-the-counter drugs and/or various supplements. Approximately one-third of adults take five or more medications at the same time.

The potential for adverse drug events is elevated when people are taking multiple medications at one time. For example, mixing pills has the potential to cause serious injury or even death.

Doctors, patients and pharmacies must work together to ensure that medication is taken safely. One of the best ways to prevent errors with medications is for patients to take an active role in their health care management.

Q Know your dose. Children are at an especially high risk for medication errors because they require different doses than adults, offers the Mayo Clinic. Adults of different weights who share medications can run into trouble as well. It is key to follow the dosing instructions, as even a minor error in regard to dosage can poten-

tially cause a big problem.

Q Follow up with your doctor. Certain medications can cause side effects that only can be noticed by lab testing, such as an impact to the liver. Doctors also may be under an obligation to follow up with patients taking psychological drugs to ensure the efficacy of treatment. Make sure you keep all follow-up appointments.

Q Maintain a current list of meds. It is up to patients to share information with prescribing doctors regarding any and all products being taken to avoid harmful interactions. Using the same pharmacy for all prescriptions also is helpful.

Q Be honest about height and weight.

Medication labeling and package inserts typically use metric units to correlate dose to a person’s physical attributes.

Individuals should know their information in metric measurements and be honest with themselves about what they weigh.

Q Use medications correctly. It is important not to chew non chewable pills or cut pills unless the pharmacist or doctor has said it is safe to do so. Accurate dosing also requires using the right spoon
