By KRIS SCHEFFEL Calhoun News-Herald Calhoun District 40 is taking steps to repair and update facilities, and in order to do so, approved a number of measures at the Dec. 16 school board meeting to ensure that the funds are available for these projects.

Two large repair projects are under way at Calhoun High School to mitigate exposure to lead and asbestos.

The Department of Public Health requires public facilities to test for lead levels in water, and the school found several areas with lead amounts at or above five parts per billion. These water faucets have been removed from use until they can be replaced. None of the school’s water fountains had any traces of lead.

The school board has received two bids for the replacement of the water faucets. “Both companies have sent out representatives to look at the water samples report as well as the existing plumbing,� Superintendent Kate Sievers said. “Both agree the most cost effective way is to begin by replacing the faucets.�

After this work is done, the water will once again be tested to ensure that lead levels are below five parts per billion. If not, the school board will look to implement a water filtration system. “If the samples still come back with traces of lead, then we discussed a filtration system for the building or add individual filters where the traces of lead were still at an elevated rate,�

Sievers said. “Until then, those fau-

cets will either not be used or will be flushed prior to using.�

The board approved a bid from Loellke Plumbing to being work on water mitigation.

In addition to the replacement of faucets, the school is also still grappling with the impact of a minor flood at the high school resulting from an overflowing toilet whose seal had come loose overnight. “The foyer, the hallway, the circle and all of the way through the library were flooded,� Sievers said.

Of primary concern, however, are the floor tiles along the hallway, which were damaged. “We thought after we had it all dried the tiles were going to be okay,�

Sievers said. “However, they have since begun to curl up on the ends.�

In order to mitigate any potential asbestos, the school board has reached out to the insurance company to pay for an asbestos abatement and replacement of the tile. The insurance company requires two bids for the abatement, the air monitoring and the replacement. “I have had companies the past few days in (the school) looking at the affected area and will be sending proposals sometime next week,� Sievers said. “We thought we could do this over Christmas break, but they have to post 10-day notices before they do any work. We will plan to do the work after the students’ last day of school in May.�

Calhoun EMT in trouble after lack of volunteerism

By KRIS SCHEFFEL Calhoun News-Herald Calhoun County relies on its volunteer ambulance service in more ways than imaginable.

Wanda Blackwell Calhoun County ambulance service coordinator Yet, when classes for new volunteers were slated to begin in September, only one was said to have showed up. After refiling the paperwork for a new class set to begin on Jan. 6, Coordinator Wanda Blackwell is determined to keep the service alive, though. “We can’t find any volunteers,� Blackwell said. “Out of 5,000 community people, we had one person physically come to the class.�

This is in stark contrast to previous years in which Blackwell estimated there to be about 10 signing up for the classes.

Because of the lack of volunteers, Blackwell has spent months working on the paperwork for a new set of classes in the hopes that there will be volunteers available. “We changed when we are going to have the class and have compressed it,� she said. “The

state has to pre-approve these classes, so we have to send all the paperwork into the state.�

The issue at the heart of Blackwell’s call for volunteers is substantive and will have enormous impacts on the community, she indicated. “We will either have no service or a paid service,� she said. “The volunteers don’t get paid for their time. If you have a paid service, they get paid hourly.�

This would raise taxes on residents, but also impact response times should the volunteer service be shuttered. Calhoun’s volunteer Emergency Medical Technicians (EMTs) are able to respond more quickly than those outside the county — time which is vital. “You’re talking about life and death here,� Blackwell said.

A paid service, she said, would mean residents would have to wait 30 minutes before they would even reach the county.

In addition, there are other concerns, such as the ability to bring in a helicopter. Without the volunteer service, patients would have to wait until the paid service arrived and made an assessment before a helicopter would be called. Residents are not permitted to call in helicopters, and ambulances are required to take individuals to the helicopter pad. “When we had the flood, they (helicopters) were critical,�

Blackwell said.

The volunteer EMTs also work with the Calhoun County Sheriff’s Office to hold ferries until the ambulance arrives. “If people at that end (near Brussels) don’t have our service, they will have to go across the (See, EMT, A3)

In only seven months, the organization has helped individuals across the county with everything from rent and home repair to counseling.

St. Vincent de Paul is an organization founded on the ideals and traditions of its founder, blessed Frederic Ozanam and its patron saint, St. Vincent de Paul. The organization is headquartered in St. Louis with local branches throughout the world, Calhoun more recently being one.

While a Catholic organization, St. Vincent de Paul’s mission is to help anyone, no matter their background or identity.

President Jim Twitchell and vice president Brad Vacca formally started the Calhoun branch in May of 2019 in recognition of the significant impacts the flood would have on their fellow community members. “We knew there was a need in the flood, and we thought that was a good time to jump (See, ST.

Evanston to use marijuana tax revenues for reparations

By BILL HOAGLAND The Calhoun County Commissioners recently decided to prohibit legal sales of marijuana within Calhoun County when the “Illinois Cannabis Regulation and Tax Act” takes effect on January 1.

Three hundred miles to the north, however, the City of Evanston has not only approved the sale of marijuana by licensed dealers within the city limits, they have taken the further and unprecedented step of using the tax revenues from the sales of marijuana to fund reparation payments to African-Americans living within the city limits.

Evanston is apparently the first city in the United States to arrange for racial reparations, and we are not talking about a meager sum of money here. In fact, the total sum of $10,000,000 has been allocated for these reparations, with annual payments projected to be in the range of $500,000 to $750,000.

A committee within the city government known as the “Equity and Empowerment Commission” will have responsibility to administer these funds and to make payments to those recipients as they deem appropriate to correct racial disparities that have occurred over the past century in Evanston.

Proponents of this program state that AfricanAmericans should disproportionately benefit from

these revenues because they have been disproportionately affected by past law enforcement policies regarding the possession and use of marijuana.

In other words, the proponents state that a much larger percentage of African-Americans living in Evanston have been arrested and prosecuted for marijuana use than caucasians living in Evanston and this has resulted in a loss of jobs, familial disruption and other social issues to the detriment of African-Americans.

In addition, it is said that African-Americans living in Evanston have been traditionally forced to pay higher mortgage rates, higher real estate sale costs and other racially oriented discrimination practices regarding home ownership. As a result, African-Americans who have been there for years are moving out of Evanston because it is just too expensive to live there any longer.

So to correct these injustices and to encourage African-Americans to not move elsewhere, reparation payments will be made at the discretion of the Equity and Empowerment Commission.

It is not clear yet what situations justify reparation payments or how much can be paid to one recipient.

In case you are wondering, as I am, how many annual sales of marijuana must occur in order to fund this program, consider this:

St. Vincent de Paul (Continued from A1) in,” Twitchell said. “The first seven or eight families we helped were flood victims that lost their homes.”

Despite only being seven months old, the organization has continued to expand its ability to help those in need.

“Basically, what our mission is, is to help the poor in any way we can, so we do everything,” Vacca said.

“We help with food, we help with furniture, we help with helping people... we consider ourselves a hand up, not a hand out.”

This sentiment has shifted Twitchell’s and Vacca’s approach to be one of longterm, sustainable assistance.

“It’s not our mission, but I think we need to at least help them more long term,” Twitchell said.

Looking toward the future, Twitchell said they are considering offering a financial management class as well as expanding their ability to connect clients to employment opportunities in light of this more long-term approach.

“We’re not really an employment agency... but maybe we can send people to those employment agencies, or maybe we can send them to employers that we know are hiring and help them in that way,” Twitchell said.

While St. Vincent de Paul, at the moment, helps individuals with rent, utilities and groceries, they have had an enormous impact in connecting individuals to other services within the community, such as the Warrior Food Bank, Angel Ministries or Illinois Valley Economic Development. Their small team of 19 volunteers has helped connect individuals and these services, but also, has donated time and money to help support the work that they do.

“We do have a very close relationship with them (these organizations), and we do fill in gaps for them, and they sometimes fill in gaps for us as well,” Twitchell said.

The level of collaboration goes beyond even the organizational level, however. Twitchell recounted the generosity of one community member who volunteered his time and skills as a carpenter to assist an older family.

“It’s all donated, the work

from this carpenter,” he said.

“This guy... He said, ‘Jim, what can I do to help out? I want to volunteer some of my services’ “…People that have minor problems with their homes, lets say the floor of their homes — he’s helped with that. He has a number of hours of donated time right now.”

At this individual level, openness and compassion are central to the work of St. Vincent de Paul. Anyone can call into their confidential 24-hour help line, and from there, members of the organization will volunteer to do a home visit as a means of understanding what help they can provide.

“We do home visits,” Vacca said. “We don’t help out anyone unless we can understand what their problems are. So, the first step, before we help anyone,... we sit down with them and say, ‘Okay, what are your problems?’… We try to look at the whole picture… Why are you in this situation, and how can we help you out?

“So, we might pay their rent. We might get them food.

We might just give them advice. And most time, it’s all of the above.”

“You don’t want to go in there with a preconceived notion,” Twitchell said.

“We’re helping them where they are at.”

This approach has helped their ability to find a niche within Calhoun that best addresses the needs that are there. Vacca highlighted the demographics of the county he gathered via the U.S. Census Bureau from which they have drawn their understanding of what particular struggles many are facing and what kinds of needs there are.

“It (the census) shows a population that’s shrinking and aging,” Vacca said.

“Number one demographic of those people that are in poverty are females ages 25 to 34.

The second is people over 65.

“So, we’re dealing with two different groups, single females that have babies, that have never been married or divorced. That’s the number one. And number two is those 65 and older.”

Calhoun, he said, has a population of roughly 4800 with a poverty rate of 13 per-

OPINION

Hardin, Illinois

the tax imposed by the City of Evanston is a 3 percent sales tax over and above the state tax.

So to raise enough tax revenue to make reparation payments of $750,000 per year, there will need to be marijuana sales of $25,000,000 per year within the City of Evanston and this will have to be from the licensed dealers, not the illegal ones who have been doing business there for a long time.

For a city with a population of 70,000, someone is going to have to do a lot of smoking to meet that goal.

I thought we were trying to discourage people from smoking anything—weed or otherwise—but apparently not when there is a social agenda to meet.

But that is not the only issue that the City of Evanston will have to deal with, now that the Evanston reparation plan has become law.

For example, who exactly qualifies as an AfricanAmerican? And what about Native Americans, AsianAmericans, Hispanics and other ethnic groups living in Evanston who claim to have experienced racial discrimi-

nation while living there?

Wouldn’t the Equal Protection Clause of the US Constitution require their inclusion in the reparation payments?

And are these payments restricted to only to those African-Americans who were living in Evanston before a certain date? After all, if the purpose of the reparation payments is to correct past injustices, it makes sense that the payments should be restricted to those who lived in Evanston before a certain date, not those moving to Evanston this next year.

It will be interesting to see how the City of Evanston attempts to sort this all out.

Stay tuned.

cent. Therefore, he calculated a total of 615 individuals or 246 families in poverty in Calhoun County.

The goal of St. Vincent de Paul, Vacca and Twitchell said, would be to reach out to each of those families and provide assistance, whether that be in the form of utilities, groceries, gas or even obtaining a GED. Their organization is focused on and driven by the needs of those in Calhoun.

In order to reach that goal, the organization has committed to helping families once each year, barring extenuating circumstances, in order to use their limited resources to reach as many families as possible within the county.

“Because we want to help a lot of families, we only commit to helping someone once a year,” Vacca said.

While the reach of St. Vincent de Paul’s has been large, their organization is still new and is still growing.

“Our organization is in the process of growing right now, so we have to go through some growing pains,” Twitchell said.

Both Twitchell and Vacca said they were excited for the future of the organization with goals already set and new ideas continuing to emerge.

Outdoor Truths: Gary Miller

Ideas of success have become twisted Success in hunting or fishing is measured differently by each individual.

Some consider each outing a success if fish or game is brought home. Others consider success by the opportunity to get away from work or to be with a family member or friend.

Each trip may be different.

It may be that today’s goal is to catch more fish than the other competitors while tomorrows pleasure will be found in watching a grandchild catch his first bluegill.

Success means different things to different people and in different situations.

Most of the time, I measure success by the opportunity to be outdoors. If I’m blessed to harvest fish or fowl, it’s just icing on the cake. That doesn’t mean that I don’t hunt or fish hard. It’s simply that I’ve learned that most of my trips bear no edible fruit.

For some people, this is not good enough. It seems they have a constant competition going on with others, and if they can’t match the wits of the television personalities, then their trip is a failure.

Most of us measure other areas of our life the same way. The world we live in equates success with possessions, power and popularity.

We assume if any person has these, they must be successful.

If that is true, what does that say about most of us?

It says we must be failures.

True success, however, is not measured by these things.

It is measured by obedience; namely our obedience to God. Did I do today what

G o d wanted me to do? If I can answer t h i s question in the affirmative, I was successful. It doesn’t matter if my performance was in front of thousands or one. It doesn’t matter if it took great skill or if I just handed a cup of cold water to someone in need.

The scope of my service doesn’t matter to God. He only looks at my obedience.

This means that none of us need ever look at what we do as menial or unimportant.

It also means that we all have opportunities to succeed and that what we do will never be compared with anyone else.

God created us all to succeed. This doesn’t mean our obedience is tied to our acceptance by God. It’s not. Please don’t make this assumption. Our obedience is not a requirement for our relationship, but only a result of it.

This makes doing what God asks us to do a privilege and not an obligation. So, the next time God calls your number, know that not trying to set you up for failure, but for a great success.

Repairs

(Continued from A1) district also has a number of projects that need to be accomplished. This includes replacing the interior doors, replacing the football bleachers and updating the boys and girls locker rooms.

In order to get this done, the district is under taking several steps to acquire the necessary funding.

For the bleachers, a fundraiser selling brick engravings has been organized by board member Laura Longnecker and the football boosters. The cost of the bleachers will be shared with the district.

The interior door replacement will be paid for by revenues from the one percent County Facility Sales Tax and the Health, Life and Safety fund. “This is a Health, Life and Safety issue the District is addressing,� Sievers said.

To update the locker rooms, the district is applying for a new grant, the School Maintenance Project Grant. Under this grant, the district can receive up to $50,000 for a $100,000 project. “This grant could be a $100,000 grant with the district paying $50,000 and the State paying $50,000,�

Sievers said. “I’d like to renovate the boys’ and girls’ locker rooms at CHS. You have seen firsthand how in dire need of repair they are.�

Funding for projects is often pieced together from a number of sources, and Calhoun District 40, like other districts, is still recovering from the state’s failure for several years to provide state aid. “The state has finally begun paying their portion of revenues to the district, and therefore, we are finally digging out of a financial hole that has been dug for the past seven years under the large perorations of State aid,� Sievers said. “Therefore, even though we are now getting paid what we are supposed to be, we have put off facility updates, repairs, et cetera as long as we could. “Now the district is play-

ing catch up, and it will take a few years to do this.�

In addition to applying for grants and fundraising, the school board also passed measures to ensure that the district has the necessary funding it needs. They approved this year’s tax levy and a bond abatement.

The tax levy is similar to last year’s, however, the flood has had significant impacts on the equalized assessed values (EAV) of property and therefore, will impact the amount the school receives from the levy. “Calhoun County experienced horrible flooding this past year, and therefore, the EAV will probably be lower than in the past few years,�

Sievers said. “We take a conservative stance and do not count on receiving the entire levy. We normally budget approximately three percent less than what we levy for.�

This year’s tax levy budgets for $932,000 in educational costs, $250,000 in operations and maintenance costs and $96,000 in transportation costs amongst other items. “Unfortunately, property taxes will continue to be a part of our revenue stream that makes the district function,� Sievers said. “It is a blessing to have community members that share in the belief that education is a very important part of our children’s lives.�

The board also approved a bond abatement which will use the one percent County Facility Sales Tax money.

The abatement this year will be, Sievers estimated, approximately $16,000 lower than the prior two years because the district is receiving less sales tax revenue from the county. “We promised the voters that if they would agree to pass the Sales Tax Referendum, then annually we would abate bonds (pay down the bonds) with 20 percent of the proceeds,�

Sievers said.

The final board approval was for a bond abatement of $16,860 from the one percent County Facility Sales Tax.

Even if an ambulance is called from outside the county, that does not mean there is one available, meaning residents will have to make their own way to a hospital. “If for some reason we do not have a crew, we have to call over to Jersey or Greene, and they do not always have a crew available in their county either,� Blackwell said.

Calhoun’s volunteer EMTs are on call 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

The service has three ambulances across the county in Kampsville, Hardin and Brussels, but requires volunteers to operate those vehicles.

Physical Therapy and Aging Well Did you know that physical therapy is more than just post-injury rehabilitation?

A lot of us think that physical therapists (PTs) only work with people after an injury. In reality, physical therapy plays a very important role in keeping older adults safe and independent.

Current practice can include treatment of injury as well as teaching people about preventative strategies that can significantly reduce the risk of injuries.

PTs are highly trained health care professionals, with an expertise in move-

ment and exercise. Using physical therapy as a preventative approach can play an important role in prevention of injury, disability, declining function while at the same time promoting “fitness.�

Keeping fit at any age focuses on flexibility, strength, endurance, posture, and balance. PTs are familiar with “norms� for each of these categories for older adults. As a result, they can check for risks related to falls, disability, and even mortality.

Extensive studies have provided norms for each of these categories. If your PT identifies an area of concern, they can prescribe customized exercises to strengthen key muscles, improve balance and flexibility, and increase you overall wellbeing.

Be sure to include PTs in your list of options and resources for aging well.

The knowledge and expertise they provide can prevent or reduce issues before they arise, and make it easier for you to stay healthy and independent. If you are interested in how PT can work for you, be sure to talk with your healthcare provider and check to see what might be covered with your insurance.

“We have 5,085 residents in Calhoun County that we service,â€? Blackwell said. “We have to have volunteer EMTs. â€œâ€ŚWe have so many generous people that continue to give us money every year and continue to give us memorials. People don’t realize that we need the personnel help too.â€?

To participate in the course, volunteers are required to be 18 years of age by the time they take the EMT test, hold a valid drivers license and have no felony convictions.

The class is put on for free by the Calhoun volunteer ambulance service, with those volunteers dedicating even more of their time in order to teach the new recruits.

The only upfront cost for volunteers is the textbook, and even that, Blackwell said, would be reimbursed. “As long as you help us on a few runs after you become an EMT, we have stated we will pay you back the cost of the book,� she said.

Classes are free and will begin on Jan. 6 and run until May 28. Blackwell said the class will run twice a week, potentially on Monday and Thursday nights, but that it is subject to change if those interested need a different arrangement. “We are trying to get as many as we can to take the class just because we need the help,� she said. “We have had a volunteer service for 45 years, and it’s been great, but it’s dwindling.�

he start of a new year is an ideal time for quiet and prayerful reflection about our lives. What have we experienced in the previous year, and what have we accomplished?

What were our successes, and how might we build on them in the year to come? Conversely, where did we fail, and how might we repair those failures, or at least avoid them in the new year?

Surely all of us would benefit from a more faithful prayer life and a commitment to treat our fellow man with more kindness. New Year’s resolutions are notoriously short-lived, despite good intentions. The gyms which are full of eager exercisers in January are often half empty in February. One way to improve the odds that we will follow through on our resolutions is to ask God for help in keeping them. As the psalmist advises, “Unless the Lord builds the house, the builders labor in vain.� (Psalm 127:1 NIV) Ask God for help in keeping your resolutions, and consider offering them up to God.

If there are fearful thoughts, let us try trust; if there are gloomy thoughts, let us look to the sunrise of new hope. May we cross the threshold with purpose, and faith in One who goes with us and knows the way, for here is a brand new year.

Blaize Klunk, 6, of Kampsville is all smiles with the Grinch Sunday.

25 Years Ago January 4, 1995 The Indiana Hoosiers, who were hot on the trail of Craig Robeen, senior co-captain of the Calhoun Warriors football team, finally will get their man February 1.

The 6-5, 252 pound senior has given a verbal commitment to the Big Ten School.

These commitments are nonbinding until recruits sign their letter-of-intent February 1.

Robeen, the only player from Calhoun ever to earn a football scholarship from a Division 1 school, was also recruited by Western Illinois University and Southern Illinois University in Carbondale. But after Robeen’s trip to Bloomington last month, the decision wasn’t tough. “(Western and SIU) don’t compare to Indiana,” Robeen said. “I really wanted to play Big Ten football.”

Robeen was an All-WIVC selection and was named to Illinois Football Coahces Association All-State team his senior year. He also was a contributor to the 1992 and 1993 squads that won backto-back state titles in Class IA. 50 Years Ago January 1, 1970 A severe snow and ice storm spread over most of Calhoun County during the Christmas weekend, giving Calhoun its first White Christmas in many years.

Snow and sleet continued Monday and Tuesday.

Sunday afternoon and evening, a heavy fog settled over the area and caused many problems for travelers hoping to return home after the Christmas vacation. Schools were not affected by the snow as they were closed for the vacation.

Not only were travelers bothered by the fog and bad weather, but a large flock of geese became lost in the fog and circled Hardin for several hours Sunday evening before landing on a hill

overlooking Hardin. Several attempts were made by local citizens to guide the geese to safety by calling them but they finally were able to land on their own.

Many cars were stranded along the roads because of the icy conditions, but no serious accidents were reported in the area.

The kids enjoyed the chance to try out new sleds they received as Christmas gifts, but many of the adults were not quite as glad to see the snow.

Wm. Rickey of Hardin slipped on the ice and broke his leg. He is a patient in St. Joseph’s hospital.

By late Tuesday, most of the major roads in the County were being cleared but many of the side streets were extremely icy and dangerous.

State, county and town maintenance crews worked hard to keep the roads and streets cleared, cindered and salted.

The threat of more snow and bad weather caused Highway Officials to ask everyone to drive safely over the New Year’s holiday weekend.

75 Years Ago January 4, 1945 Ensign Joseph (Ford) Klockenkemper, Jr., of the Navy is home on leave visiting his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Klockenkemper of Batchtown. Ensign Klockenkemper has been flying air patrol for submarines in the Aleutian Islands. He is being moved, however, to the South Pacific theatre. While on patrol one day, his plane motor failed and he and his gunner were forced down at sea for four hours, before a boat came to their rescue.

In making the rescue, the boat rammed the plane due to high waves and threw the two men into the water. Junior’s life jacket failed to inflate properly and he had to swim to the boat in icy waters. He is very enthusiastic about his flying and believes he will enjoy his new assignment.

Colleen Schumann, Blake Schumann and Olivia Clowers have fun and laugh behind the hot cocoa bar at the Christmas party, a new addition to the festivities featured at the event.

His brother, Navy Midshipman James Klockenkemper, who is training at Ft. Schuyler, New York, is trying to make it home on leave before Junior has to return to duty.

100 Years Ago January 1, 1920 Hardin folks were presented with an Xmas gift Christmas day that they care very little about and one that they are very much desirous to get rid of. It is in the shape of a small-pox scare and it made its presence known Christmas day which was not good tidings to the populace of the capital village of the Kingdom. Dr. Peisker first discovered the disease in the Mrs. Ollie Cockrell home when he was called there to wait upon Mrs. Cockrell who had taken ill the day previous. After pronouncing the patient suffering with small-pox, he called Dr. Wood of Batchtown, who has been waiting upon small-pox patients in and near Meppen, just south of Hardin, and he too, diagnosed the case small-pox.

According to medical authority, Miles Terry an employee of the Heiderschied garage, of Hardin, has had the disease for the past two weeks, but no one knew about it, not even was he, himself, aware of this fact.

He went about town, was shaved in the Kinman barber shop, it is said, and the supposition is that many of our citizens have been exposed to the disease although no new cases have developed.

The two patients now sick with the malady are quarantined in one house and a large majority of our folks have been vaccinated. Every nook and corner is being watched for new appearances of the disease and it is thought that with proper precautions, the disease will soon subside. Several cases of the disease are reported in Meppen. If the News fails to make its appearance one of these weeks, our readers will know we’ve got ‘ ‘em.’

St. Jude Novena

May the sacred heart of Jesus be adored, glorified, loved and preserved, throughout the world now and forever.

Sacred heart of Jesus, pray for us. St.

Jude, worker of miracles, pray for us. St. Jude, helper of helpless, pray for us.

Thank you, St. Jude KS

Dancing for a cause The St. Mary School eighth grade class hosted a winter dance on Dec. 6, 2019 as a class service project. This dance was conducted to collect toys and raise money to be donated to the Jerseyville Toys for Tots. The students’ creativity and artistic talents were seen in their North Pole-themed decorations. Students carved and painted standup evergreen trees and a snowman for the photo backdrop. They even created giant strands of Christmas lights from balloons to hang from the ceiling. Altogether, the class raised a total of $350 and a cart full of toys.
