Sightings of funnels during Tuesday storms reported

By JARAD JARMON Jersey County Journal It appears Tuesday’s storm might have Health Department brought more than heavy rain, lighting and warns of upcoming dark clouds to the Jersey County area. flu season Social media, namely Facebook, exploded See page A4 with images and reports of funnels being seen among the clouds in Jersey. Numerous residents reported seeing the funnel, including Jaret Summers of Rosedale. Summers, a farmer with Coon Creek Farms, said he was getting out of his truck around roughly 2:15 p.m. when he looked up to the sky and noticed a singular funnel cloud above him in the Beiermann Automotive parking lot. “It was pulling itself down and sidelining a little bit and pretty soon, it went back up, and I didn’t see it again,” Summers said. For Summer, it was less of a scary site, and more an interesting one — inspiring him to pull out his phone and snap a photo of the funnel. Schlepers celebrate “When I got out and noticed, I thought to 30 years myself, I’d be more scared if (Democratic presSee page A8 idential candidate Joe) Biden became president than a tornado,” he said.

A funnel can be seen above Miller Drive, between 2nd Time Around and Rent One, in Jerseyville Tuesday afternoon during the storm that rolled in. The funnel did not touch down.

said landspouts form when a sharp low level wind shift moves under an existing updraft to a thunderstorm. That wind shift can sometimes create a shallow invisible rolling horizontal tube of air. When that tube gets tilted up by the updraft, the stretching of the vorticity causes it to contract further and accelerate, sometimes resulting in a visible skinny, weak funnel.

Jerseyville eyes new slate of derelict properties to address By JARAD JARMON Jersey County Journal Jerseyville leaders have identified another list of properties those in the city intend on addressing. At there meeting Tuesday, the Jerseyville City Council OK’d City Attorney Bill Strang to start the necessary actions to require property owners to address deteriorating structures across the city, either through renovations or demolition. The list of properties voted on to be addressed is: Q 702 East Prairie St. Q 906 West Carpenter St. Q 1103 Old Fidelity Road Q 606 East Carpenter Q 201 Morean St. Q 1201 Cemetery Rd. Q 101 Stryker St. This is the second round of properties that city leaders took steps to address. At their last meeting, they also OK’d addressing: Q 209 South Washington St. Q 313 State Hwy 16 East Q 103 W Hickory St. Q 508 East Exchange St. Q 215 Snedeker St. Unlike the last slate of properties, a couple of the properties were not vacant. Jerseyville Mayor Bill Russell said the location at 1201 Cemetery Road. was occupied, but said this is not a notice to tear down someone’s home. “These letters that go out are asking them to (be in compliance),” Russell said. “They are not telling them we are tearing your house down. We don’t do that, but we are asking them what is

their plan.” The other one at Old Fidelity Road has been purchased by an adjoining neighbor, and his plan is to take it down, Russell said. Jeff Soer, director of Building and Zoning in Jerseyville, has said that the city is continuing to get numerous complaints, often from neighbors, on these properties. There will be a title search on the property. Then, these property owners will be sent a letter indicating a timeframe for when they need to respond and address these issues. Should they not take the necessary steps to address the state of these structures, the city will then come in and condemn and tear down the structure, billing the property owner for the cost of the demolition. And in the case that the owner does not pay for the cost of the demo within 30 days, the city could put a lean and foreclose on the structure. Soer has explained it is not something the city wants to do. Among the issues regarding these properties is safety, according to the mayor. Also in the meeting, Jerseyville resident Ron Murphy made claims of wrong-doing at the site of his wife’s and brother’s graves at the Oak Grove Cemetery, which is a city owned property. During the public comment section of the meeting, Murphy, an outspoken critic of the management of the (See, PROPERTIES, A2)

s concerns about voteby-mail dominate the national stage and nightly news broadcasts, on a local level, officials are doing everything they can to ensure a safe and smooth election process. According to the Jersey County Circuit Clerk’s website, Pam Warford’s office has received more than 1,700 Vote-By-Mail applications already. Technically, voters have until Oct. 29 to return their applications, however, Warford stressed voters should absolutely not wait until the last minute. “We’ve been accepting them since the middle of June, and we encourage people to turn them in much sooner than that [the deadline],” Warford said. After Sept. 24, once the clerk’s office receives an application, they legally have two business days to mail out a ballot to the voter. Because Oct. 29 is a Thursday, that leaves just two business days, Friday, Oct. 30 and Monday, Nov. 2. In order for a ballot to be counted, it must be postmarked Nov. 3, leaving voters with very little time to respond and get their ballots in the mail. In other words— don’t wait. Warford also said that instructions for how to complete the mail-in ballot will be printed directly on the envelope, including the amount citizens need to affix for postage. “It’ll say right on their envelope that it’s a dollar in postage, but that’s just for Jersey County,” Warford explained. “It changes county to county based on how you fold your ballot, the size of your envelope, things like that.” From there, postal workers will ensure that ballots are delivered to Warford’s office. “What they’ve told me is that ballots dropped off to the local post

office; they’re going to hand stamp them and drop them off in our local drop box so they don’t have to be sent out of the county,” she explained. “We have been in pretty close contact with the post office to make sure that everyone knows what our envelopes look like.” Still, if residents have concerns about whether or not their ballot has been received, they can check the status of their ballot by visiting the Jersey County Clerk’s website at https:// www.jerseycountyclerk-il.com/. From there, voters need to click the banner reading “Jersey County Voter Resources,” enter their information and find the “Track Your Ballot” section. There, voters can see the dates when their ballots were requested, sent and received. Local officials offer some reassurance as, at the national level, predictions about the success of mail in voting vary wildly depending on who is making them. Recently national outrage regarding changes being implemented across the postal service which may have negatively impacted the efficiency of postal services prompted a walk back of pilot programs implemented by Postmaster General Louis DeJoy. “Therefore, retail hours at post offices won’t be changed, and mail processing equipment and blue collection boxes won’t be removed during this period. No mail processing facilities will be closed, and we have terminated the pilot program that began in July that expedited carrier departures to their delivery routes, without plans to extend or expand it,” DeJoy said during a Senate hearing. “To clear up any confusion, overtime has, and will continue to be, approved as needed. Finally, effective Oct. 1, 2020, we will engage standby resources in all areas of our operations, including transportation, to satisfy any unforeseen demand for the election.” This testimony addressed several concerns that have received substantial airtime on national news.

County board continues HVAC discussion Jerseyville Pizza

By CONNOR ASHLOCK Jersey County Journal The county board met briefly Tuesday evening, where the discussion consisted of an update from CTS Group on the HVAC system that serves the courthouse complex as well as discussion on the 911 center in the sheriff’s office. “Earlier this month, the finance committee met with CTS Group regarding a new structure and new offices for dispatching,” Chairman Don Little said. “The various options for addressing those problems were discussed at the meeting.” For a long while, the sheriff’s office and courthouse have been dealing with excessive moisture and some mold issues, problems associated with the current HVAC system. Earlier in the summer, CTS Group was the company chosen to explore efficiency issues and other problems with the courthouse and jail, and then report back with possible solutions to the board. The current solution posed for the HVAC system, if chosen in the long run, could result in the sale of bonds to see the project through, but that isn’t a guarantee. “To work on the HVAC system throughout the courthouse and sheriff’s office holds a price tag of $4 million, and that concerns me,” Little shared. “With

what they shared regarding the dispatching room and 911 coordinator room, they’re looking at maybe a $750,000 facility to be constructed on the west end of the sheriff’s office.” Though the county board wasn’t excited to hear those figures, they remain resolved to find the best solution possible to timelily and cost-effectively alleviate the issues plaguing the courthouse complex. “There is moisture accumulation in offices and with moisture comes mold,” Little said. “We need to do something to protect the well-being of deputies and prisoners. These are only ballpark figures right now because not everything has been fleshed out in the details.” At the meeting, the board did not pass any motion regarding these issues, but decided that this information will be taken into consideration during the overall discussion as the board and CTS Group move forward to come up with cost-effective, viable solutions to update these important community facilities. Later this month, a representative from CTS Group as well as a representative from a bonding entity will meet with Treasurer Gib Ashlock to discuss the details of this proposition, further delving into the financial viability of this particular solution.

Hut closes doors By MEAGAN MCGLASSON Jersey County Journal While the COVID-19 pandemic has been a boon for many delivery chains, it wasn’t enough to save NPC International, the largest franchisee of Yum Brands’ Pizza Hut, which filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy earlier this summer. With the bankruptcy came an Aug. 17 announcement that 300 Pizza Huts across the United States would be permanently shuttering their doors. The Jerseyville location was among these, labeled ill-suited for delivery and under-performing in comparison to other stores. Sept. 8 marked the last day of operation for the Jerseyville store, and as of Sept. 9, a sign had been posted saying the restaurant has closed and directing locals to the Alton store or the company’s website. Jerseyville still hosts several options for those craving a slice including fast-casual delivery chains and locally owned and operated options.

Voting

(Continued from A1) tion to DeJoy’s comments, the Office of Inspector General for the Post Office released an audit on Aug. 31 making recommendations for improvement after auditing seven primary or special elections earlier this year. That audit found five major potential concerns for mail-in voting at the national level including mail likely to be mailed too close to the election, voter addresses that are out of date, required postmarks and two other envelope design flaws. In order to address these concerns, the audit made five recommendations: Q Creating separate simplified mail product exclusively for election mail and until its implementation, continuing to prioritize election mail.

Chuckles

(Continued from A1) the challenge, going as far as to especially support Chuckles specifically. “Currently, she is still enjoying her time out there,” Vandersand said. “We feel that she is still comfortable and at least happy outside.” In the meantime, people are invited to see her. “We invite everyone who loves Chuckles to come out and see her out in the fox enclosure as soon as you’re able,” Vandersand said. “If you do visit, please remember despite her appearance, she is not suffering and her care and comfort is our utmost concern.” The center building is open Friday through Sunday, but people can go out to the outside locations throughout the week. Chuckles became one of the center’s more popular residents early on. Chuckles came to TreeHouse as a young fox kit from St. Libory on April 7, 2007. She had been attacked by a dog and severely injured. Over time, it became apparent that, though her physical injuries were healing, she had sustained permanent neurological and vocal injuries. One of the ways this was expressed was her trademark “laugh” when excited, which she became famous for. “She doesn’t vocalize quite like a fox. It is a similar sound, but it is quite different.” Vandersand said. “So, she has this kind of joyous chuckling sound.” Chuckles quickly became a favorite animal ambassador to the public, not only locally, but all over the world. A Youtube video posted by a volunteer in 2010 received more than 5 million views. People traveled from all over to come see Chuckles. She received care packages with treats and toys from fans. Center staff heard stories about how her videos helped people smile and get through the dark times in their lives. Her impact has not only brought people to love foxes but also raised awareness of the daily struggle that our native wildlife face. The news of her kidney failure has rocked the hearts of many on social media, according to Vandersand. She said their post about Chuckles has blown up with heartwarming messages. “Every time I sit down to answer them, I start

crying,” Vandersand said. “I can’t believe the impact she has had on some people — not even volunteers — but people who have just come out and enjoyed seeing her interact with visitors.” It is the volunteers and staff that are likely hurting the most, though. Vandersand noted for some it is hard to even talk about. “I have been there five years, and I can hardily even keep the tears back from this,” she said. “Plus, we just lost a 30-year volunteer, Mel McCann. And so, being followed up by somebody else in our family who is going to be passing away as well — it is just heart-breaking.” Chuckles also closely follows another fox at the center, Zorro. Zorro was Chuckles’s friend for many years before Zorro succumbed to his injuries last year. He helped Chuckles raise orphaned fox kits during his time as a permanent resident. Chuckles has lived a bit longer than foxes in captivity often do. In nature, foxes live to 8-10 years. In captivity, foxes live to 8-12. Even though Chuckles has lived roughly 13 years, she will leave a deep hole at the center. “Just having somebody who has been with us for so long, who we know creates such joy with so many people — it is just hard. It is going to be devastating,” Vandersand said. In celebration of Chuckles’s life and to honor her service in wildlife rehabilitation, the staff has invited visitors to participate in their Chuckles Memorial Fence Project. They will have pieces of raffia ribbon and markers for visitors to write thank you’s, prayers or other comments, and tie them to the fence through November of this year. In November, staff will collect and burn them to release all of the messages. People can message the center on Facebook as well with a message they would like to be on the fence. There is also a donation fund in her honor that will go toward the care of the foxes at the center. Any donations received will go to help care for future sick, injured and orphaned foxes. On their Facebook page, they are also asking people to share any photos or stories about Chuckles from visits to TreeHouse. More information about the center can be found at https://www.treehousewildlifecenter.com/ or by calling 618-466-2990.

Recounting recent events, Murphy said, first, a trellis, which is an arch-like structure over the grave, that was installed at his grave was damaged in late May, which he later repaired himself. He then went on to say that a short-time after heated discussions with graveyard staff, grass started dying at those two plots. “A week or so later, my grass started dying,” Murphy said. “…I originally planted grass last summer on my wife’s plot. It had very nice, pretty looking grass. This spring, with Mr. Mann’s approval, I planted grass on the remainder of the plot and my brother’s plot. A couple of weeks after the damage, the grass started dying only on my plot and my brother’s plot. No other plots in the whole cemetery died all summer long.” He said he then replanted the grass, and watered it regularly. “I have been watering it twice a day since June,” Murphy said.

“The grass will not come up.” “I have indicated to Mr. Manns that I feel someone has put something on it so that it will not grow… I planted the grass five times this summer since June, and grass will not grow except for the crab grass that will grow anywhere.” Murphy has put a request out to the city to replace the dirt at his plots, about 4-6 inches deep, as well as to see what the city would do to prevent further damage. Zachary Crawford, Jerseyville Commissioner of Public Property, said the city has been in regular contact with Murphy, for at least a year, noting that they have made every attempt so far possible to accommodate him and what he sees as issues there. He said the city has accommodated the requests Murphy has made, noting that special accommodations were made to allow him to specifically take care of his space individually. Crawford added the city will continue to work with Murphy as best they can.

Words to live by: â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is no power for change greater than a community discovering what it cares about.â&#x20AC;?

â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Margaret J. Wheatley, American writer

What would you do in the event of tornado sirens?

George W. Burke; a Jerseyville pioneer and abolitionist D

id you know that several streets located in Jerseyville â&#x20AC;&#x201C; including Giddings, Burke, Lovejoy, Sumner, Fremont, Leavitt and Snedeker â&#x20AC;&#x201C; are named for abolitionists? The man responsible for their naming was George W. Burke. George was born in Vermont in 1807. His grandfather fought in the Revolutionary War and his father in the War of 1812. Like his ancestors, George was willing to fight for his beliefs. He dedicated his life to abolishing slavery and helping runaway slaves. George arrived in Jerseyville in the fall of 1834. The 27-year-old, described as â&#x20AC;&#x153;quite striking in appearance,â&#x20AC;? purchased 120 acres and opened the townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first blacksmith shop. Like many New England natives, George was a staunch abolitionist and quite outspoken in his views. When Elijah Lovejoy was murdered in Alton in 1837 for printing anti-slavery rhetoric, George publicly condemned the act. It earned him enemies, as many Alton residents vehemently opposed their city becoming a haven for slaves escaping from nearby St. Louis. Like Lovejoy, Georgeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s anti-slavery rhetoric put him at risk. He was once pelted with rotten eggs and

pursued by an angry mob. He escaped, hiding beneath a bridge to avoid capture. In 1840, George laid out the first addition to the city of Jerseyville. Located in the northeastern portion of present Jerseyville, he named the streets after abolitionists: Joshua Reed Giddings, Charles Sumner, John Fremont, Joshua Leavitt, Samuel and Isaac Snedeker and Owen Lovejoy. These were men George admired and with whom he worked. Several of them, including George, were conductors on the Underground Railroad, helping runaway slaves continue northward on their flight to freedom. His fellow Jersey County â&#x20AC;&#x153;conductorsâ&#x20AC;? included Hiram White, who lived near Otterville; Newell Adams, Isaac and Samuel Snedeker and Harley Hayes of Jerseyville; some of the Hamilton family at Otterville and Adam Waggoner, who lived near Newbern. A devout Christian, George was a Presbyterian but refused to attend the local Presbyterian church due to its pro-slavery sentiments. As a result, he helped found Jerseyvilleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Congregational Church, which existed for six years. When the church closed, George drove a buggy an hour away to Chesterfield to worship. Only after the

Guest Column BY BETH MCGLASSON Civil War ended did he become a member of the local Presbyterian Church. George dedicated his life â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and money â&#x20AC;&#x201C; to improving Jerseyville and fighting slavery. He was as generous with his money as he was with his time. In addition to his land in Jerseyville, George owned a 180-acre farm in Jersey Township, as well as land in Christian County. An 1876 St. Louis newspaper article listed him among Jerseyvilleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s highest taxpayers. Obviously, he was doing quite well financially. When he died in 1893 at age 86, blind and penniless, Georgeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s death marked the passing of the final conductor of Jersey Countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Underground Railroad. It was the end of a most noteworthy chapter of local history. 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.

What are your thoughts concerning the Route 67 roadwork through Jerseyville? We needed that road to be redone for a while, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m happy to see it. The state doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have the money for it. No, it is a runaway train at this point. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know why theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing it.

Health Department warns of upcoming flu season Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s that time of year again â&#x20AC;&#x201C; flu season. Many people donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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 you can do to protect yourself and those around you is to get vaccinated before the flu starts circulating in your community. Vaccination is especially important for certain people who are at â&#x20AC;&#x153;high riskâ&#x20AC;? 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. Again, this year Jersey County Health Department will be offering Adult Flu clinics for those ages 19 and older every Friday starting Sept. 18 thru Oct. 30 from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. and 1 to 4 p.m. These clinics will look at little bit different because of the COVID-19 virus. They unfortunately will not be able to have clients congregate in our clinic room because of the spread of the virus so they will be conducting Drive-Thru Flu clinics in their parking lot. This will be a convenient and safe way to receive your flu vaccine this season from the comfort of your car. They accept the following insurance plans for both children and adults: Aetna, Blue Cross/Blue Shield, Cigna, 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. Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Flu clinics will be by appointment, contact our office to schedule your childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s appointment. If attending a clinic is a hardship due to health reasons or physical limitations, vaccinations are available in the home. Call (618) 498-9565, extension 301, for more information about this home service or for information about influenza and/or pneumonia vaccine.
