The tradition and spirit of the community is evident in the civic pride, the support of its fine schools, beautiful parks and golf course, churches, the hospital and various civic clubs. Homeowners and business people take pride in their property. The strength of Nashville comes from the strong work ethic and citizenship of its residents. City government officials are dedicated to the concept that change should be of high quality and at a controlled pace. The city government in Nashville includes a mayor, a six-member city council, city clerk and treasurer. These officials serve four-year terms in office and receive a nominal salary. The mayor appoints chairpersons and members from the council to administer the major functions and services provided by the city, including water and sewer, gas, streets, police, library, finance and insurance, city property, zoning and golf course. The city maintains an up-to-date city code and zoning ordinance with a board of appeals and planning commission. Many citizens voluntarily serve on board and committees that operate under the auspices of the mayor and council. Nashville is known for cleanliness of its streets and public areas. This is attributable to the atmosphere created by local government and the availability of complete refuse disposal service.

The council is responsive to citizens, businesses and industries when the need arises. The staff includes 38 full-time employees that provide dedicated services to make Nashville an excellent place to live and do business. The city owns and operates its own water and sewer treatment and distribution facilities, along with its natural gas distribution system. The water supply comes from the city-owned reservoir with the ability to draw water from Washington County Conservation area. A two-million gallon per day water treatment plant was completed in 1996, and the city has constructed 15 miles of 16-inch water mains from the Kaskaskia River to provide raw water supply. In 1999 a 500,000-gallon water tower was constructed on Enterprise Avenue, and the city continues to upgrade and replace its infrastructure. In cooperation with local, state and federal entities, the city has been successful in obtaining financial grants to lessen the tax burden on local citizens, businesses and industries. Customer service charges for utilities, real estate taxes, Motor Fuel Tax funds from the state and sales tax revenue comprise the sources of funds for local government operations.

Mill - Na (618) 327-8522 0907504 State Farm, Bloomington, IL 6 Small Town Police Officers Handle Variety Of Tasks “A small town police officer does a lot of things,” said Nashville Police Chief Brian Fletcher. Nashville is served by a police department led by Fletcher that includes a lieutenant, five full-time officers and two parttime officers. Fletcher has 11 years of law enforcement experience, starting as a deputy with the Washington County Sheriff’s Department in 2000. He moved to the Nashville Police Department in 2002, and was promoted from lieutenant to police chief in July 2010. The department provides 24/7 protection to the community, performing a variety of tasks. “We basically do everything in law enforcement,” he said. That includes basic patrols, investigations, city ordinance violations and traffic control. Officers also respond to emergency medical calls and to fires, and are sometimes called out for animal complaints. “We are here to help and serve as best we can,” the chief said. The officers are assisted by Diego, a male German Shepherd that became the department’s first K-9 dog in 2010. The dog is trained to sniff out drugs and can be used for tracking lost persons or fleeing suspects and for handler protection. While the crime rate is extremely low in Nashville, there are plenty of calls to keep the department busy. Fletcher said domestic disputes occupy much of his officers’ time, and while home burglaries are rare, there are a number of thefts from vehicles. Motor vehicle accidents and other traffic complaints are another major component of the job. The police department also conducts a number of community service projects during the year. They include presentations on drug awareness and prevention at local schools, bicycle safety courses and safety programs for pre-schoolers. The department also participates in the annual Shop With A Cop in which officers take underprivileged children Christmas shopping. The department also assists with the annual Washington County Relay For Life fundraiser for the American Cancer Society. Melissa Hopfinger is the administrative assistant.

John Felchlia has been administrator since October 2004 and first joined the ambulance service as a paramedic in May 1998. He is in charge of nine full-time paramedics and 21 parttime personnel who provide around-the clock emergency services 365 days a year. The ambulance service has three fully equipped ambulances, two of which are staffed 24 hours a day, seven days a week. A third unit is held in reserve, and part-time personnel are called in, if the other two are in service at the same time, Felchlia said. The ambulances are equipped with the latest in lifesaving technology and equipment. For example, field data on heart attack patients can be transmitted to hospital emergency room physicians who can confirm the possible diversion of the ambulance to a hospital with cardiac cath lab capabilities, thus saving time by bypassing other hospitals. Personnel are trained to operate this complex equipment, which adds to their life-saving capabilities. The service’s primary duty is to provide 911 emergency responses on a variety of calls, ranging from motor vehicle accidents to persons who have fallen ill. They also do transfers of patients between hospitals and respond to all structure fires in the county to provide medical service to firefighters and fire victims. The service also provides non-emergency transport and a wheelchair service for people who need rides to doctor’s appointments. Personnel also stand by at local football games. The ambulance service also is involved in a number of community activites. Felchlia said personnel conduct CPR and first aid classes and trains first responders for area fire departments. Shelly Kolweier is the secretary. The 30 volunteer firefighters that comprise Nashville Volunteer Fire Dept. provide effective protection for a large district that encompasses 150 square miles. Fire Chief Alan Hohlt is a full-time employee who supervises highly trained volunteers who answer many different calls using eight vehicles. Hohlt brings decades of experience to the job. He joined the fire department in 1978 and has served as chief since 1994. He and his fellow firefighters are called to structure and vehicle/farm equipment fires, motor vehicle accidents and rescues and grass, field and refuse fires. The department also provides mutual aid to neighboring fire districts and offers assistance to police and ambulance crews. In 2010, the department answered 133 calls. That number varies, as does the amount of property damage. In 2006, for example, 184 calls were answered with over $1.8 million in estimated property damage. Volunteers must be trained as state certified firefighter II. They also learn auto extrication techniques and one third of the department has been taught the proper methods of handling hazardous materials. “We do a lot of training,” Hohlt said. “The Illinois Fire Service Institute comes here for classes several times a year, and we do a lot of drills.” The department is prepared to handle a wide variety of emergencies. Pre-planning has been done on all downtown business buildings, industries and local schools which includes floor plans, gas and electric shut-offs, locations of any hazardous materials that might be onsite and the location of the nearest fire hydrants. “We review these plans on a regular basis so everyone is familiar with them,” he said. Community involvement is another aspect of the fire department. Firefighters regularly visit kindergartens and pre-school classes to give safety demonstrations during Fire Prevention Week. “And we always have tours of Cub Scouts and Girl Scouts and classes from school coming through,” he added.

Did you know that South Central Transit is the I.D.O.T. designated public transportation provider for Washington County and has proudly been offering services within the city limits of Nashville since January of 1999? In October of 2010 SCT was awarded a grant by the U.S. Administration on Aging, the IL Department on Aging and the Area Agency on Aging of Southwestern Illinois to provide subsidized transportation fares for seniors (60+) residing in Washington County. This means the senior citizens of Washington County can ride with SCT anywhere in the county for a small suggested donation. These services are demand response and do require advanced scheduling. Last month SCT provided rides to more than 100 people of all ages in Nashville and throughout Washington County. Helping individuals get to meal sites, medical appointments, shopping, school and work are just a few examples of where SCT can take you. SCT would like to emphasize that you don’t have to be a senior citizen to ride our busses – we serve all ages. For the past year South Central Transit has offered a shuttle route between Centralia and Mt. Vernon with scheduled stops in Irvington, Richview, Ashley and Woodlawn M-F from 6:00 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. four times daily. This represents one of SCT’s recent efforts to help meet the transportation needs of the rural population. In the near future SCT plans to link Nashville with this existing shuttle route. Advanced scheduling is not required to access the shuttle route. South Central Transit also serves the counties of Clinton, Marion, Jefferson, Franklin and Perry. A complete listing of routes, schedules and service hours for SCT can be viewed at www.southcentraltransit.org or by calling the scheduling office at 800-660-7433.

However, it wasn’t until the early 1900s that the people of Nashville had a central location where they could borrow books. In 1923, the Women’s Club officially opened a library for leisure reading in what was the former Nashville City Hall. In 1943, Nashville’s taxpayers passed a referendum to support the library with taxes and the library was moved to the building which once had been the city jail. In 1962, the library board bought the J.P. Carter residence on Kaskaskia Street for use as the library. The residence, which was built in the Italianate style at the end of the Civil War, served as the library building for the next 30 years. However, in 1992, the City of Nashville purchased the Veterans of Foreign Wars building at 219 East Elm Street (the present location), and remodeled the building. In 2006, the library’s Board of Trustees, with the help of Nashville City Council, began planning to expand the library building. A grant for $125,000 from the Illinois State Library’s Live and Learn Construction Grant program was awarded to the library. The grant was matched and expanded by the Nashville City Council. Image Architects of Carbondale designed the facility and Johannes Construction of Centralia was hired to build the addition and remodel the former building. Groundbreaking started in March 2007 and the work was completed in January 2008. The current library contains over 6,000 square feet and houses a collection of approximately 20,000 books, videos, and audio books. In 2008, the Nashville Public Library expanded its technology services, and joined the Southern Illinois Network (SILNET) with its online catalog. This service enables library patrons to access the library catalog from any computer with Internet capability, borrow materials from over 100 libraries, and have the materials delivered to the Nashville library for pickup. In addition to the online catalog, the library’s public access computers offer Internet access and software such as Microsoft Office Professional 2007 (containing Excel, Power Point, Access, Publisher, etc.). The library also has a copier, fax machine, and two microfilm reader/printers available for public use at a fee. During the summer of 2008, wireless Internet was also added to the library, allowing the public to use their personal laptops throughout the building. The library updated its library website at www.nashville.lib. il.us. The site includes a calendar of events, Friends of the Library information, children and youth activities and Board of Trustees listing, plus many resources and research sites. Under the current direction of Mrs. Linda Summers, the library staff offers assistance to patrons from Mondays through Thursdays from 12 to 8 p.m., Fridays from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., and Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. The nine-member Board of Trustees, under the leadership of Rod Ibendahl, oversees library policies, building maintenance, operations, and finances. Board meetings take place on the first Tuesday of each month, with the exceptions of August and December. The Friends of the Nashville Public Library are vital to the library’s programming and fundraising efforts. Friends assist with children’s programs, sponsor informative programs in the library, organize and run periodic book sales, and write book review columns for the local newspaper. Meetings take place the third Saturday of each month, except for June, July and December. For more information, the library may be reached at (618) 327-3827. FIND. PLACE. DISCOVER.

In addition, the school hosts a Fine Arts Festival with participation from students at NCHS as well as other NASHVILLE MANUFACTURED HOMES Nashville Homes Manufactured and Modular Washington County schools. NCHS believes that learning is holistic and therefore balances academic learning opportunities with activities and organizations that promote Civic Service. A goal at NCHS is to remind students that they are not isolated from their communities, but they are, in fact, what makes their communities so special. Students are given the opportunity to participate in various school organizations including Student Council activities, which raises money for the American Cancer Society and Cystic Fibrosis Research, FFA which promotes leadership, personal growth, career success and many community service opportunities including stocking the local food pantries, and National Honor Society, which requires community service learning hours earned through numerous volunteer activities including those such as the annual Nashville Fall Festival. NCHS students embrace these opportunities to give back to their communities that support NCHS. This Ride is for you!

Grades K-4 are housed in the primary school, while grades 5-8 and the pre-K program are down the hall in the middle school. The district serves 580 students starting with at-risk 3 and 4 year-olds in the early childhood pre-kindergarten program, and then sends its 8th grade graduates to Nashville Community High School District 99. State test scores from third through eighth grade consistently show that students meet or exceed state standards at the 80th percentile and higher. District 49 attributes that success to a commitment to keeping class sizes around 20 students or even lower, a variety of small group instructional strategies, and an extensive list of parental volunteers. The district has a Response to Intervention (RTI) reading program that has proven to be very successful. Principal Chuck Fairbanks along with a very active, caring staff have worked hard at putting together a program that targets the specific reading deficiencies of each individual student. The RTI team then organizes a structured plan for each student that is implemented in small group and one-to-one instructional settings. District 49 works in coordination with the Kaskaskia Special Education District 801 for students that require a little more tender loving care. KSED is a great partner in helping determine what type of individualized education program is appropriate for each needy student. The primary school addition was added to the existing middle school site in 2005, and the middle school campus was updated during the construction. A very active Parent/Student Organization (PSO) continuously provides educational and entertaining activities for all students. Assemblies, fundraisers, field trips and classroom supplies are just some of the activities and materials provided by the PSO. Students on the primary school side are treated monthly to a non-detention activity to reward good behavior. Middle school students are treated quarterly. And each grade level takes at least one field trip to sites including the St. Louis Zoo, Cahokia Mounds, Powell Symphony Hall, the Lincoln Museum and other historical sites in Springfield, and one lucky group gets to attend a St. Louis Cardinals baseball game Washington County Title & Abstract Company 225 W. St. Louis St. Nashville, IL 618-327-3613 during the school day. The middle school offers many different extracurricular activities for 6th through 8th grade students including baseball, softball, basketball, cheerleading, volleyball, track, cross country, scholar bowl, student council, and dance team. The Little Hornet Football Club is not affiliated with the school, but offers students the opportunity to participate in football as well. Also, the local Moose Lodge has a very successful youth soccer program. “The focus is on kids,” said Superintendent Brent O’Daniell. “We strive to maintain a climate conducive to learning, but also a feeling of family. Every child is special to us, and we do all we can to make them feel comfortable, and a part of something that we hold dear and believe is very special.” “Our Motto: Nashville Grade School, “Where Children Come First!” The Nashville News P.

Grandstand events featured are the Illinois Tractor Pull Association (ITPA) sanctioned pulls, and a tractor pull for county residents only. Classes include antique, pro-stock, hot farm, farm stock, super stock with blower and no-blower tractors. This provides entertainment with loud noise and black smoke. Also featured in the grandstand are demolition derbies held on two nights during the fair week with cars and mini cars. Participants need to follow rules and regulations for entering these races. Small fires and loud noises occur during the races for excitement. Judging in the open show of different breeds of beef, dairy, sheep and goats is held during the week of the fair. A junior livestock show is held with beef, dairy, sheep and hogs which consist mostly of 4-H members exhibiting their animals. Also shown and judged are smaller animals including cats, rabbits, dogs and poultry. These animals along with the 4-H larger animals are auctioned to the highest bidder. Washington County residents are urged to participate by bringing their home grown agricultural produce, flowers, textiles and fine arts, baked goods, canned fruit and vegetables, jams and jellies. The junior department has entries of clothing, arts, crafts, visual arts, baked goods, home furnishings, plants and soil science/conservation, entomology-beekeeping, citizenship/ leadership and mechanical technologies. Some of these entries are 4-H projects for the year and are judged at the fair and then taken to the State Fair in Springfield. A carnival provides rides for the young and old, along with the fair food stand and other food vendors that provide fun for everyone. The Washington County Fair will be held from July 4 to July 9 in 2011. Diedrich Implements Inc. We are a full line New Holland and AGCO dealer providing complete parts and service!

Illinois Extension activities began in La Salle and Dekalb Counties when in 1912, 300 farmers contributed $10 each to employ a University of Illinois agriculture graduate to help them apply college research to their farms. The Smith-Lever Act in 1914 enabled Land Grant Universities to employ qualified people to work with all farmers and homemakers, utilizing research findings to help achieve a better way of life. Interest in Farm Bureau in Washington County started in the 1923-1925 era, when farmers in the eastern part of the county saw the organization already active in Jefferson County. The late Martin Schaeffer from the Hoyleton area had also seen early Farm Bureau activities in other Illinois counties through his employment with a phosphate company. Schaeffer, being strongly education-oriented, contacted the Jefferson County farm adviser, and asked for membership blanks. Sensing the interest in Washington County, J.R. Williams, IAA District Organization Director, and the Jefferson County farm adviser Loyd Caldwell, visited Schaeffer. About the same time, H.B. Symons of Ashley visited the Jefferson County Farm Bureau office for information on poultry and dairy feeding. Symons was impressed, and joined the Jefferson County Farm Bureau in mid-1925. This may have made him the first Washington County farmer to become a Farm Bureau member. Martin Schaeffer reportedly became the second member to join in Jefferson County, and Gustav A. Koelling was the third. Later, about 50 Hoyleton area farmers joined, with the understanding that their membership would transfer to Washington County should a local Farm Bureau be organized. Washington County was given two membership spots on the Jefferson County Farm Bureau Board. George Hake and Sam Cooper filled these positions. Mr. Hake was a delegate to the IAA annual meeting in Urbana in January, 1926. The first Washington County Farm Bureau meeting was held August 3, 1926, 312 members had been signed and each township elected a director. A caucus was held, and these directors elected: Nashville - Ferd Schleifer; Hoyleton - George Hake; Beaucoup - Homer Jack; Ashley - D.W. Dawkins; Richview - Bert Pitchford; Plum Hill - Ed McLaughlin; Johannisburg - Emil Lammers; Oakdale - James R. Hood; Okawville - Louis Ochs; Covington - John Groennert; Pilot Knob Amos Lyons; Irvington - Paul Beckmeyer. The new board elected the following officers: James R. Hood, President; George J. Hake, Vice-President; and D.W. Dawkins, Secretary Treasurer. They were the first officers of the Washington County Farm Bureau.
