Commissioners pick new grant writer By CONNOR ASHLOCK Calhoun News-Herald The Calhoun Commissioners met on Jan. 7, where members unanimously agreed to hire Barb Margherio as the grant writer for the county for 2021. Margherio will be coming into the role once occupied by Karen Hanneken, who stepped down from the position in October 2020, although she will be continuing to aid businesses with applying for the Downstate Small Business Stabilization grant. Margherio will not only be writing for grants, but researching for potential grant opportunities as well. One of the commissioners’ main
priorities has been filling the position, as they hope to make considerable progress in areas promoting county infrastructure, economic growth and improvements to the Marvin Richter building, which include the installation of an elevator, completion of the community center and renovations to the second floor to house the new courtroom and government offices. For these and other matters that the board has been fleshing out, grant monies are essential in their completion. Also, the commissioners voted to adopt the third Monday of each month at 5 p.m. as their official meeting date and time for 2021. They will continue to meet in the Marvin Richter building.
In moving to adopt the third Monday of the month as their monthly meeting date, the commissioners also voted to rescind the motion carried at their last meeting to make the monthly meeting on the first Thursday. The new meeting schedule will take effect starting in February. The board has chosen to move from their standard meeting schedule of twice every month to just once a month, a schedule already held by surrounding county boards, in order to free up time, as each of the five commissioners serve on several boards throughout the county and region that hold regular meetings. The board’s main concern in adopting the one-meeting-per-month
format was their availability to citizens. It was decided that should the new format be counter-productive, they will return to their previous meeting schedule of twice per month. The meeting schedule for the remainder of 2021 is as follows: Q Jan. 19 Q Feb. 16 Q March 15 Q April 19 Q May17 Q June 21 Q July 19 Q Aug. 16 Q Sept. 20 Q Oct. 18 Q Nov. 15 Q Dec. 20

Education leaders in the county agreed it would likely not be until August – the start of the new school year – when students might be going to class as they normally would have done before March 2020. “I don’t think [things will be back to normal] until next year, looking at the rate that we are seeing so far,� Brussels Superintendent Mark Martin said. “...This semester will be very much like the first semester. I have not seen anything to make me think there is going to be a significant change.� By the time in which a majority would be inoculated, when health officials hope herd immunity would kick in, the school year is almost going to be over. Now, educators are one of the first groups to get access to the vaccine, but even still, that is likely weeks out. According to the state plan of vaccine distribution, healthcare workers were first, but teachers would be among the second group including other essential workers like first responders to get it. “I think the teachers were included in this next round because they (officials) see the value in having kids in school,� Calhoun Superintendent Andrea Lee said. Still, Gov. J.B. Pritzker said it would still be a few weeks before teachers were given the vaccine. This does not take into account, also, the different times each community has been getting their vaccine shipments. Also, Lee noted that there are no talks of students getting the vaccine at the same time. At the end of the day, Lee stressed normalcy comes when the state allows it. “Everything we are doing now follows ISBE (Illinois State Board of Education) guidance, IDPH (Illinois Department of Public Health) and the governor’s office,� Lee said. “Until something changes in their protocols for us, nothing is going to change on our end.� Namely, changes would need to be made to the requirements regarding

remote learning in order for districts to, say, open every weekday without early dismissals as they have done. Local districts have been able to enjoy some liberties because of the size of each district, though. In Calhoun, they have had in-person classes each day for those who chose to stay in-person, but with early dismissals. “As long as we still have to keep offering both remote and in-person, that has an effect on what we do,� Lee said. “We have teachers working their tails off to try to provide to both of these groups. As long as we are still having to provide for both, we can’t go to a full day. There are only so many hours in a day for them.� Because of the diestricts’ size and the small presence of COVID-19 in the county, educators and students alike have been afforded to experience some sense of normalcy so far this year. “Fortunately in our situation, in the elementary school, we haven’t ever closed down so far, and our number of remote learners are small,� Martin said. “Unfortunately at the high school level, where kids have drivers licenses and socialized outside of school a great deal and there is a lot of personal contact, the picture is different.� Across both districts, there have been times when schools went largely remote, and there have been quarantines, but overall, these districts have been able to maintain at least some in-person instruction – a key concern for those in education.

Mark Martin Brussels Superintendent Whether it is for logistical or academic success related reasons, remote learning has presented challenges to teachers and students, leading many to label 2020 a gap year in ideal instruction. “In general, it is recognized that there is learning loss because of this,� Martin said. “...Especially for the younger kids, the grade school kids, if they suffered learning loss at that age, that loss is probably not going away anytime soon. The longer this drags on, the worse it will be for them.�
Martin noted it was particularly challenging in an area that does not have the infrastructure for remote learning. “We have provided students with Chromebooks or laptops,� Martin said. “But that is only a part of the picture. The family has to receive the information at home. They have to have internet service that is reliable, and that is the big challenge for us.� It is not only a loss of learning that has concerned or saddened those in education. “There are so many other things – the social and team stuff – that has just been lost, too,� Lee said. “I think sometimes people forget what kind of impact that has on them, too. It is not that they are just going to be behind in reading and math.� Although protocols might not change, educators and students have been getting better at adapting to the new – hopefully temporary – educational landscape, leading educators to be cautiously optimistic. “We have learned as we have gone along, and we are certainly better at the business of dealing with remote than we were last March when all of the sudden everybody was out of school for a while,� Martin said. “As it goes on — the longer it goes the better we get, and I am optimistic that it will improve,� Lee said.
2020: A year in review — Part 2
By CONNOR ASHLOCK Calhoun News-Herald Last week, the Calhoun News-Herald featured some of the more prominent headlines of 2020 from January through June. This week, those major headlines from July through December will be found below: JULY Q Health department joins in census effort: Calhoun County is still showing a low census response rate among its population, and now, the local health department is doing something about it. In an effort to make the process more accessible and easy for residents, the department has dedicated two staffers in the department to help complete surveys for residents. Q Commissioners talk Poor Farm Hollow: Through the revolving loan program, Calhoun County was previously granted $180,868, the maximum amount of money the county could request from the Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic
Opportunity (DCEO). It was decided several weeks ago that Poor Farm Hollow qualified as an appropriate area in which to invest the funds. Road and bridge funds, as well as funding from the Village of Hardin, will also go toward funding the project. Q Income survey poses potential benefits to county: State’s Attorney Rick Ringhausen will be mailing out two confidential income surveys to collect necessary data that will potentially qualify the Village of Hardin for funding to update the village water system and community center. One survey will be used to qualify the village for a lower interest rate with the USDA Rural Development Water and Waste program, and the other survey will be used to obtain funds from the Community Development Block Grant program to renovate the community center. Another key player in this project is Emily Fortschneider, who shared insight into the issues facing the current water system in the Village of Hardin. “It needs
to be replaced,� Fortschneider said. “To the best of my knowledge, it has never been updated. The aging infrastructure is deteriorating, evidenced by the water main breaks, boil orders and water clarity.� Q Hardin clinic officially moves to village hall: The Jersey Community Hospital clinic in Hardin has officially moved out of the flood plain, and is now seeing patients at their new location in space once used by the Village of Hardin staff. It was an exciting move for those at the clinic, who have had to deal with ever-concerning river levels just outside of their doors when they were located on the riverfront. Q Hardin Village PD dissolved: It has been a month since the Hardin Village Council dissolved the village’s police department, and for the most part, the only thing that has changed is the uniforms people might notice in the county, according to local law enforcement. The department’s end came from financial constraints. “It is a money
cost-saver for the village,� former Hardin Police Chief Greg Weishaupt said. “...The town is financially stressed.�
AUGUST Q Meeting set to update public on new Kampsville firehouse: On Aug. 5 at 7 p.m., the North Calhoun Fire Protection District will hold a public meeting to inform anyone interested in the proposed firehouse in Kampsville. Fire Chief Gary Hall shared that the reason for the new firehouse is because the current firehouse is prone to falling victim to annual flooding. Q Calhoun County Fair canceled: On Wednesday, Aug. 5, the Calhoun County Fair Board unanimously decided to cancel the Calhoun County Fair, joining the long list of county fairs across the state who already canceled. This marks the second year in the fair’s history that the event has been canceled. The first time was a result of the Great Flood of ‘93. Q ‘Redeye’ retires after quarter-century as mayor:
Aug. 11 marks the end of an era for Kampsville as its longstanding mayor of 26 years, Ted ‘Redeye’ Schumann, has resigned, effective immediately. Last Tuesday at noon, the 91-year-old Mayor Schumann turned in his resignation to the Kampsville Village Board officially citing health reasons. In his final re-election bid in 2017, Schumann walked away with a resounding 66 percent of the vote. Q Brussels HS moves online following COVID19 case in school: The first day of school was Thursday, Aug. 20, and just a few days later, students, at least those in the high school, are back at home. It was confirmed over the weekend that a student has tested positive for COVID-19 in the high school, and upon the recommendation of local health officials, the high school, which includes seventh and eighth grade, will be doing remote learning on a temporary basis. It is believed to be an isolated incident at the high school. (See, REVIEW, A2)

OPINION

When this is over, we all need time to grieve What a year it has been for education By BILL HOAGLAND On New Year’s Day, a local TV station was going through a list of celebrities who passed away in 2020. It seemed to be an unusually long list and included such names as Eddie Van Halen, Alex Trebek, Bob Gibson and Lou Brock, all of whom died of causes other than COVID. And then they added to that list the COVID death toll for 2020. As of Dec. 31, that death toll for 2020 relating both directly and indirectly to COVID was over 340,000 people in the United States. What sad news and what a horrible year! No wonder everyone seems so melancholy these days. It’s not just that we realize things will never be the same politically, economically or socially. For many of us, it also has to do with the loss of a relative or a close friend to this horrible disease that one year ago, we never even knew existed. Unfortunately, because of COVID restrictions, we really can’t properly mourn these losses; in fact, many memorial ceremonies for deceased family members and close friends are being postponed “indefinitely.” And to make matters worse, it is conceivable that these postponed ceremonies may have to be put off for as long as a year, depending how long this virus sticks around. In the meantime, I have gone to several visitations during the pandemic, but frankly it feels awkward being there — everyone wearing a mask, standing at least six feet apart, and being hesitant to hug or even shake hands with the people who have been left behind. To be sure, visitations and burials need to go on, but at some point, those who have lost friends and relatives in 2020 really need that direct, physical contact — the hugs and pats on the back. They also need sincere, one on one discussions with close friends that we typically get during “normal” visitations, funerals and follow-ups; unfortunately, we are not getting those comforting traditions during and because of this pandemic. Having a meaningful memorial service six months or a year from now will have plenty of its own issues. Some folks who might oth-
erwise attend a memorial service shortly after a death may have resolved their own sorrows regarding the decedent and they may have “moved on” by the time a memorial service is scheduled. Others, now freed up from the restrictions of COVID, may have to return to work, school or they are taking that much needed vacation. In other words, we need to be realistic about those postponed memorial services and focus on what will best help those who need to grieve and get closure. Maybe there is a simple, economic approach to resolving this as soon as it is safe to do so. Why not model something along the concept of an old-time Irish wake, in which a small group of friends or relatives meet in the home of one of the persons for a day or night of celebration about the life of the deceased — you know, with good food, good booze, good photos, good stories and a deep mutual respect for each other and for the deceased? The memorial service, with a large crowd and a formal eulogy or two can come later. But it seems just as important to give the people directly impacted with an opportunity to resolve their own feelings of grief with a close group of friends — crying, laughing and saying good-bye the way it is supposed to be done. Maybe these small gatherings could simply be called “a closure” because that would certainly be the objective. ––––––––––––––––––– Q Bill Hoagland has practiced law in Alton for more than 50 years, but he has spent more than 70 years hunting, fishing and generally being in the great outdoors.

By ANDREA LEE Guest Column “Every day is a new day.” This quote echoes in my head as an educator during a pandemic. As a new superintendent, it goes without saying that there were going to be some learning curves, but the experiences during 2020 have thrown in some road blocks, hills, and maybe even a flat tire. At the end of the day, there is no choice but to pack up and prepare for the next day. My explanation probably sounds familiar to many of you in the community. Hopefully you find it refreshing to know you are not alone. Education this year is like no other. While answers in education are not always easy to come by, the education system for the most part follows a fairly stable pattern. Local decisions are made, but are grounded in what state and federal guidance provided for us. Then 2020 happens. All of a sudden school districts are trying to survive every day with sorting through documents, guidance, recommendations, opinions, and politics. And as if sorting through isn’t enough we are trying to understand how all of the organizations that lead our schools can’t get on the same page. Or, the same page as other states. So what we do is try to take one step at a time. We reflect upon our community values and depend on our valuable staff to help guide us in the direction to provide the very best education that we can for our kids. Knowing that no matter what decisions are made, there isn’t a right or a wrong one during this journey. A good boat has everyone rowing in the same direction and so far I believe that Calhoun CUSD #40 is moving forward. As we started the year teachers, staff, and students entered into a new environment. Our educators were asked to manage both in-person and remote learners all while trying to connect the dots from remote learning last spring.
Technology is more important than ever for learning and those who were once just dipping their toes in the water are now swimming! Like so many other aspects of this pandemic, there wasn’t an instruction manual for teachers. Instead, teachers spend countless hours trying to sort things out. All of these hours and tireless efforts are to be commended and the utmost respect extended. The pandemic is undoubtedly going to have a negative effect on the already struggling profession. The kids have also been faced with their share of challenges. A different type of learning in the classroom, friends not in class with them, keeping their distance from each other, and not being able to participate in social activities. Kids are social by nature and there are so many real-life lessons that come from this human interaction. We need to be cognizant that this year is going to take its toll on them for some time. Our older students have also been faced with a yo-yo effect as it relates to athletics. They have had to watch as various organizations disagree with what is best and continue to make changes as the year plays out. As a former athlete, coach, and parent of a 2020 grad who lost a senior season, I can honestly say that my heart goes out to all of our kids that are missing such an important piece to their school experience. Even though we would like to make it better or more normal for the athletes, so much ties our hands on what can be done. As I have referenced before, the governance that is expected to be followed makes it difficult to stray. What we can do is help take this experience and find a lesson that can be taught; adversity. There’s no doubt that everyone will get through this together. To the community, I want to say thank you. Thank you for your continued support. We look forward to the days when we can gather together. Happy New Year! Q Andrea Lee is the Calhoun Unit 40 Superintendent.
Review total active number to 13. In total, 74 in the county have recovered. Calhoun remains one of only a handful of counties that has yet to report a death- along with nearby counties such as Scott and Brown counties. At the same time, neighboring counties like Jersey, Greene and Pike counties are back at warning levels.
SEPTEMBER Q Coronavirus cancels Old Settler’s Days: In a Facebook post released Aug. 30, organizers announced their decision to cancel the festival and expressed regret over the circumstances. This would have been the event’s 40th year and has not had to cancel previously, as far as event organizers know. Q Unsolved Craigmiles case reopened: The case involving the alleged June 30, 1993 murder of Stuart Anthony Craigmiles, better known as “Tony,” who was found dead in his home in rural Kampsville was reopened. The original investigator of the case passed away since the case initially turned cold, but Illinois State Police District 18 investigators are hoping that given the long stretch of time since then, perhaps new information will be learned that leads to an arrest and conviction. Q Ducks still set to take plunge in Hardin race: In the wake of seemingly consistent news of event after event getting canceled, it was announced that the fourth annual St. Norbert’s School Duck Race is still a go. “We have checked with the health department on that,” Danielle Hurley, race organizer, said. “The reason we can continue to have this event is it is on the riverfront with lots of open space, and there is plenty of room for social distancing.” Because of COVID, the event is scaled back significantly, but people can still expect to see the waterfall of yellow ducks cascade down from the Hardin bridge. Q Ag students ‘learn by doing’ for Mr. B: Students in Heidi Doyle’s Intro to Ag class are designing, crafting and selling Calhoun Warrior Keychains to raise funds for Calhoun’s beloved Mr. B and his family to help offset medical and travel expenses. So far, the class has raised approximately $1,000 for Mr. B and his family. Q COVID-19 spurs Calhoun Elementary to go remote: “Calhoun Elementary had one positive case of an individual in the building and per precautionary measures, we did remote learning on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday last week,” Principal Christie Lorsbach said. Part of those precautions meant quarantining two entire grade levels in the school until Oct. 6, on which date those students who perhaps had more exposure will have already received the all-clear to return to school.
NOVEMBER Q Total COVID-19 cases reach triple digits in county: Calhoun County Health Department officials confirmed four new cases of COVID-19 Oct. 29, bringing the total number of positives reported in the county to 100, and the cases have since crested that milemarker. As of an Oct. 30 update, there are 19 active cases in Calhoun County. According to Calhoun officials, 84 have since recovered, bringing the new total to 103. Q COVID cases spread in the county: As of Nov. 9, Calhoun Health Department officials have confirmed 12 new positives in the county over the weekend and Monday, bringing the total number of active cases in the county to 36, the largest total of active cases Calhoun has had at one time. Calhoun health officials received an email Wednesday from the state, informing them that the county’s positivity rate is 19.2 percent. Calhoun currently has 105 COVID cases that have recovered. Q Bids come in for Hardin water; decision not made: Two bids have come in for Hardin’s water and wastewater systems, but a decision has yet to be made on the proposals on offer. Village Clerk Danielle Hurley said the bids came from Illinois American Water and Liberty Utilities. Illinois American Water has soaked up the water utilities of numerous communities including most recently Jerseyville. Q Calhoun sees first COVID-19 death: “It is with great sadness and heavy hearts, that we announce our first loss of life due to COVID-19,” Calhoun health officials stated in a post on Facebook. “Our thoughts and prayers go out to the family and their loved ones. This was a community acquired infection and is not related to a long term care facility.” As of Saturday, Nov. 21, there were 76 active cases of the virus in the county. According to the health department, of the county’s 225 total positive cases, 146 have since recovered.
OCTOBER Q Commissioners discuss flood buyouts: The county will be buying out properties that altogether amount to $442,000. These do not include those properties located within the municipalities in the county. The concerning factor regarding the county’s flood buyouts is the Illinois Department of Natural Resources' timely reimbursement of that $442,000. Though the county can support the expense of the buyout program and still remain solvent, such an expenditure at this time would prove imprudent under normal circumstances. Q Foster care organization to launch in Jersey: Potential growth into Calhoun anticipated: A new foster care organization will be coming to Jersey County in the next several weeks that will partner with local churches in order to meet its goals. “The Restore Network is a non-profit organization that engages the church to recruit and adopt foster families while advocating for a better foster care system,” Katie Myette, founder and executive director of the Restore Network, said. “We engage partner churches through awareness, church presentations and social media campaigns as we try to help people understand the need for people to engage in foster care.” Q Calhoun appears to come short at census finish line: According to the US Census, 44.8 percent have self-responded to the census. This is a departure from the 57.1 percent that selfresponded in 2010. In comparison to other counties in the state, Calhoun only has a higher rate than Hardin County, which holds a self-response rate of 34.7 percent. In total, 71.4 percent selfresponded across the state. Q COVID-19 cases creep up into double digits: Neighboring counties jump back up to warning level: Based on the most recent update from the Calhoun Health Department, active positive cases of COVID-19 among residents in the county are in the double digits. As of an update Tuesday, Oct. 26, the health department was reporting seven new active cases of the virus bringing the
DECEMBER Q Koster-Fester opts to not call for recount: The race for Larry Wieneke’s former seat on the Calhoun Commissioners was a tight one, prompting the possibility of a recount, but the time has passed, and it appears no such call for a recount was made. Calhoun County Clerk Rita Hagen said the timeframe to call for a recount has passed, and Independent Deann Koster-Fester, who had the option of calling for a recount, did not file for one- confirming Republican Kim A. Klaas’ victory for the spot among the county commissioners. Q Blaze engulfs Hardin home over weekend: No one was injured in the fire that engulfed and destroyed a Hardin home Sunday evening. Around 6 p.m. Sunday, Dec. 6, fire department officials were called to the scene of a fire that eventually consumed the house at the corner of Franklin and Park streets, adjacent to the Ayerco Gas Station at the four-way. Q Hardin Village in talks with Illinois American Water: Hardin Village officials are now in talks with Illinois American Water, after a decision made at the recent Hardin Village board meeting last week. “They agreed to go with Illinois American Water. They agreed to start negotiating with them,” Hardin Village Clerk Danielle Hurley said. Now, the village leaders will be negotiating, among other things, a price, which Hurley noted will take time. Just this year, Illinois American Water had officially purchased the water systems from Jerseyville Q Vaccines incoming; health officials stress severity of virus: All indications suggest Calhoun will see its first batch of COVID-19 vaccines within the week, and it is greatly needed even in a county that has comparatively mild exposure to the virus. Calhoun can claim 371 positive cases as of Dec. 21. The first shipment of vaccines are expected to reach Calhoun before the end of the year. Q People in county getting vaccinated: Calhoun County Health Department officials have finally got their doses, and have

Eagles are sparse in first part of season By LUCAS GARDNER Calhoun News-Herald It’s no secret that around the area, eagles can be found near the river and other places from December to March. It’s that time of year again, but this year the sightings seem to be more sparse so far. The best locations for eagles to be found are around the river, as most locals know, and especially in Hardin, Grafton and Brussels. Around these areas, the convergence of the Illinois, Missouri and Mississippi rivers create a funnel of sorts and an open airway for the eagles to travel south, thus, allowing them to eat and have an easy flight during migration. But “it hasn’t been a good year, this year,” Scott Isringhausen, with Pere Marquette State
Park, said. “It hasn’t been a good year. It has to be cold up north to push the eagles down here and it hasn’t been,” Isringhausen said. “Every winter is different.” Eagles often migrate south when it becomes too cold, and the water is freezing in the northern states such as Minnesota, Michigan and the great white north – Canada. While eagles travel south and no longer have easy access to food in the north, they have a tendency to travel much slower — about 30 mph. The best time of day to see activity is clear mornings because eagles are visual hunters and typically start feeding at dawn, and the worst time to see activity would be any time when the weather is visually hindersome for them.
WHAT'S GOING ON BETWEEN THE RIVERS Q Kampsville News

Well, the week after the holidays definitely has been quiet in Kampsville. School is back in session, and they aren’t on remote learning right now. That is a positive note. It’s apparently “hunting season” at Calhoun Nursing and Rehab. The staff set up Christmas trees, and wore deer antlers and let the residents shoot them with Nerf Guns. I saw a wonderful video of Dixie Foiles hunting for Nurse Midge Pace – so much fun. This pandemic has been hard on everyone, but especially hard on the residents at Calhoun Nursing and Rehab, who haven’t got to have any of their families come in and visit them. Thank goodness they
have such a wonderful staff that goes above and beyond. Poor Channing Johnson sprained his ankle this week, so he will be taking it easy and playing Xbox for a while. Christina Pence, daughter Shawna and grandson Brodin enjoyed ice skating on Sunday at the Loading Dock. Shawna has an injury, so Grandma Christina had to skate with Brodin. Happy Birthday to Julie Bilbruck on Jan. 9. She enjoyed playing cards with her family at her mom and dad’s house. My grandson, Hayden Taul, celebrated his ninth birthday on Jan. 10 with a small family party at his house. He was very excited to receive a Nintendo
Switch from his mom and dad. Also celebrating a birthday on the 10th was Ryan Bland. With most fundraisers and social activities shut down because of COVID restrictions, there isn’t much news. If you have any, please send it my way. Please continue prayers for all that’s affected by COVID. Hopefully the numbers will start going down soon. Prayers also for Chasity Wickenhauser, Jim Hill, Kurt Roth, Joe Gress, Ralph Becker, Bill Schumann, Mathias Baker, Eileen Gardner, Cathy Taul, Mark Baalman, Raymond Sievers, Linda Herkert, Mary Jo Kress and Joyce Blumenberg.

Internet has been down all day so I had to resort to writing news and faxing to Calhoun News-Herald Monday. It did get down to low 20’s last night, but luckily, the snow storm that moved across Midwest missed us. Back to mid 40's by Wednesday and by Thursday perhaps up to 50 degrees. Sure can't complain about that! Congratulations to Sydney Hagen, who graduated with a Master’s Degree in Occupational Therapy from Maryville University on Jan. 9. The family celebrated virtually at her parents' house in Jerseyville. In attendance were Jackie and Pat Shortal, Kevin Hagen of Godfrey, Gary Fortschneider, Annie Hagen and Tony Fortsctneider, all of Brussels, Carrie Friedel of Batchtown, Vince and Melinda Smith and Brooke of Godfrey, along with Sydney's friend, Sam Ficker. Sydney is the daughter of Kevin Hagen and Jackie and Pat Shortal. Congratulations to Bob and Anita Nolte of Brussels, who observed their 60th Wedding Anniversary on New Year's Day. They hope to celebrate with their family at a later date when COVID lets up. My luncheon and dinner guests on Saturday were John and Caleb Carnes of Edwardsville. It was a cold windy overcast day, but they managed to get all the outside Christmas decorations down and put away for another year. We did enjoy a nice visit after dinner and before they headed home. Earlier in the day, they visited with Francis and Liz Toppmeyer, and also took them groceries. St Mary's School will be having their Annual School Benefit this year. The date is
Saturday, Feb. 20 at the Brussels American Legion Hall. A drive-thru chicken dinner will be held from 3 to 7 p.m. that day. For those wanting to bid on Silent Auction items or to purchase a variety of raffle tickets, the Legion will be open from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Saturday and from noon to 5 p.m. on Sunday. They do ask you wear a mask while inside the Legion Hall. Because of the COVID activity in the area, there doesn't seem to be much going on, so very little news this week. As for me, I go to church every Sunday, wearing a mask and social distancing. Then on Thursday, more of the same while enjoying quilting with four other ladies at the church hall. The rampage last Wednesday at our Nation's Capitol has certainly shocked the world and left the country on edge. Such outrage makes us all wonder what is coming next for our torn nation. Birthday blessings this week to my son John Carnes, Jan. 12, and my daughter, Cyndi Axford, Jan. 14. Also to Blake Kamp, Dakota Schulte, Debbie Kamp, Amanda Brodbeck, Dorothy Johnes and all others celebrating their natal day at this time. Happy Anniversary to Walter and Jessie Dixon, Greg and Agnes Kamp, Elden and Susan Kinder and all other couples celebrating a wedding anniversary this week. With all the turmoil going on in our United States recently, I am inclined a prayer this week for our nation’s leaders: Dear Lord, Ruler, Creator and Redeemer of the world, we ask You to guide our nation's leaders in all wisdom, humility and integrity.
We do not know all the burdens that have been placed on their shoulders, but we know they need to serve according to Your will. Each day brings new challenges and choices. Your power and grace are needed each step of the way. May our leaders grow in faith in You and in love for Your people as they serve us and our country. In Jesus' name, Amen.
Eagles typically only travel to the water and then back to the trees, so they don’t use a ton of energy, and with an “all you can eat buffet” of fish being the eagle’s favored food, it makes sense eagles take their time, Isringhausen indicated. In order for the eagles to catch prey, they often dive or “stoop” at approximately 100 mph. With the ability to stoop at 100 mph and their keen sight, the ability to see rabbits and fish from nearly two miles away, capturing a duck or goose is no issue for the eagle. Ducks and geese are the secondary food source of eagles, which hunt on water fowl when the water is frozen and fish are inaccessible to them. When it’s time to return to their mate for life, the pace of the eagle is much more significant, often traveling hundreds of miles a day. Their blistering pace allows them to return more quickly to their lifelong mates, which will never be replaced even in death. Once an eagle’s mate dies, it will live alone until its own death. “What amazes me most is how they know who their mate is when they return,” Isringhausen said. There isn’t much information on the process of eagles choosing mates or how it works, only speculation. When eagles return to their lifelong mate, it’s time for them to lay eggs and begin the mating process. Eagles return to their nest every year and continue to build,
until the nest is a large mass in the trees. The nests are often four to five feet wide and as deep as four feet. The eagles then lay up to three eggs during a season. The egg looks much like a large chicken egg three inches long and two inches around. The hatching process takes about 36 days, and over the course of four to five years eagles keep their golden brown coloring, then they get the iconic white feathers and head. “The eagles are much better than they used to be,” Isringhausen said. “When I was in high school, I didn’t know eagles were around here, they were endangered in 1990.” The decline in eagle population was caused by a post-WWII-era chemical called DDT making its way into area waterways. The chemical contaminated fish and ultimately, when eaten by eagles, thinned their eggshells so much that the weight of adult birds would crush them. Following the publication of Rachel Carson’s “Silent Spring,” which outlined the plight of wildlife, the Golden Eagle Protection Act was passed and banned the killing of eagles and use of DDT, according to the Fish and Wildlife Service. In 2007, the bald eagle was removed from the endangered species list. If residents would like to go out and see the fruits of the eagle preservation work, they should wake up early, make sure the weather is clear and take a slow drive along the river looking for the national bird.

“Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.” Proverbs 3:5-6 NIV
M
uch of our lives is spent trying to control things over which we have little control. Parents, teachers and managers have the task of molding and controlling the people in their charge, and the best of them have some success at it, but the fact that many of us are just not cut out to be parents, teachers or managers makes us realize how hard it is to control others. Parents and teachers are fortunate that children are great imitators of others, and half of what counts as raising children probably amounts to nothing more than children imitating their parents, with some guidance and scaffolding provided by the parents. The folly of trying to control others is perhaps most apparent when we realize how little we are able to control our own behavior, attitudes and emotions. What makes us think we can make someone else “toe the line” when we can’t do it ourselves? Some of us have designed our lives to maximize our control.
Living alone gives you more control than living with others. Certain jobs give you more control than others. And knowing certain things, and knowing where the “levers of power” reside can give you more control than you would otherwise have. And yet we are at the mercy of a thousand random forces and a world in which we are at best a guest, and at worst, flotsam and jetsam in a stormy ocean. Give up your illusion of control, and find peace in just being here, and being here with others over whom you have little control. Trust that God has everything under control. Let go and let God. –Christopher Simon

25 years ago Jan. 10, 1996 Rev. Carl Kemme, pastor of St. Mary- Brussels, St. Joseph- Meppen and St. Barbara- Batchtown, will be leaving the south Calhoun parishes as of January 16, 1996. He will become the new pastor of Holy Family Parish in Decatur on this date. Rev. Carl, as he is known in Calhoun, has served in St. Patrick’s- Decatur, Sts. Peter and Paul- Collinsville, Blessed Sacrament- Springfield and the south Calhoun parishes, which were his first pastorate assignment. A reception will be held in his honor on Sunday, January 14, from 1 to 3 p.m. at St. Joseph’s Hall in Meppen. Everyone is invited to attend and say farewell to Rev. Carl and to wish him success, peace and happiness with his new parish and school. 50 years ago Jan. 14, 1971 Miss Jerilu Smith, Calhoun’s Apple Queen, will be one of the candidates competing for the title of 1971 Miss Illinois County Fair Queen at the 1971 convention of the Illinois Association of Agricultural Fairs to be held Jan. 16, 17 and 18 in Springfield. Mrs. Sharon K. Marsh, superintendent of the state division of county fairs, has announced. Representatives of the state’s 102 county fairs and expositions will hear statewide reports on fair activities and will participate in panel discussions. They will also meet with representatives of carnivals, booking agents and rodeo personnel to contract for entertainment acts for the 1971 fair season. Highlight of the affair will be the crowning of the 1971 Miss Illinois County Fair Queen by the governor. Fifty-seven contestants will vie for the honor, with ten finalists competing for the coveted crown at the Monday evening banquet. 75 years ago January 10, 1946 The Golden Eagle, last of the Mississippi river passenger packet boats, may be converted into a bachelor hotel, according to the plan offered by its owners Capts. Henry and William H. Leyhe, to the St. Louis Emergency Housing Committee. The owners are willing to sell the boat to the city, which is short on housing and hotel space, for $10,000. It would accommodate 100 persons and has all accommodations necessary except bed linen. Since 1935, the Golden Eagle has been the last of the Mississippi packets to operate in this area. In 1939, it won a race between two California boats steaming on the Sacramento and San Joaquin rivers while the Eagle was steaming down the Mississippi to Cape Girardeau, Mo. Nearly five years ago, the Eagle sank near Chester, but was unable to resume operations because new boilers could not be obtained after it was salvaged. The Golden Eagle made regular trips to Hardin and other points in Calhoun during the river packet days. Following the ceasing of such river transportation, the boat was
used as an excursion steamer. 100 years ago Jan. 13, 1921 A chase between Sheriff Gotway and a young man by the name of Harry Smith took place in Hardin last Sunday afternoon that caused some little excitement. Sheriff Gotway had been previously notified by the Jacksonville, Illinois, authorities that young Smith was in this locality and that he was wanted by them. Sheriff Gotway got the jail in readiness and then kept his eye peeled for the wanted prisoner. He succeeded in locating him at the home of Mr. and Mrs. S. W. Newman in the northwestern part of town. Mrs. Newman is an aunt to young Smith and the father of the young man also makes his home at the Newman residence. The Sheriff, with Charles Calvey, went to the Newman home shortly after the noon meal and when the Sheriff attempted admittance at the front door young Smith made his escape from the rear door. The Sheriff saw the young man trying to make his get-a-way and shouted for him to stop, but the lad paid no heed to the Sheriff’s request and so the Sheriff fired a shot. This seemed only to quicken his pace. The Sheriff then fired again, but faster was the speed. After the Sheriff fired the third time, the young man seemed to have had all cylinders working well for he was making everything in high. H.A. Herron and V.S. Hayns, who tried to follow the lad on foot, found that they could not even keep in sight, much less capture him. Uphill and downhill, young Smith seemed to lose no speed- he was going some and we doubt if he has yet stopped. The Sheriff came back to town and secured a horse and started out in the direction taken by the young man, but all the trace that could be found was his footprints made some hours before. A line of blue smoke created from his speed might have also been another sign that marked the course taken by the swift runner from justice. The Sheriff returned home late in the afternoon empty-handed and that jail which had been set in order for the prisoner is still waiting its occupant. There are several rumors as to what the charges are against the young man. Young Smith is the same young man that appeared in Hardin last May with a charming young damsel on his arm wanting marriage license to be wed, but Sheriff Gotway stopped the issuing of the license on the request of the young lady’s mother who claimed that the girl was under marriageable age. Later, the mother of the girl, whose home was in Alton, came to Hardin and after a time agreed to the marriage provided the young couple would return to Alton and be married. The matter was adjusted in this way, but the News never did learn whether or not the marriage took place.

IDNR announces the firearm deer harvest totals Another COVID death By LUCAS GARDNER Calhoun News-Herald COVID-19 might have halted many activities this year, but it hasn’t slowed down the deer hunting in the region. In fact, there was a slight jump in this year’s totals from last year’s when reviewing the county numbers. In the region, some area hunters did better than others, but local counties showed an uptick in deer tags in comparison to last year. According to the IDNR (Illinois Department of Natural Resources) Deer Harvest totals, Jersey County had a seven-deer difference to last year with a total of 633 in 2020, with a majority of the deer hunting getting done in the first season. However, in other counties, namely Calhoun County, that difference was more stark. In Calhoun, the county had an increase of 72 more deer in the two shotgun seasons for a total of 777 this year. Pike had an increase this year with 58 more deer harvested for a total of 1,718. Scott County’s deer harvest was slightly lower this year. Last year, Scott County harvested a total of 319 deer. This year, Scott County harvested 311. Greene County hunters harvested a few more deer this year with a total of 1,066. Last year, the harvest in Greene was 1,043.
Although these numbers are pretty close to last year, the numbers weren’t expected to change much from last year’s harvest, based on what IDNR Deer Project Manager for Illinois Peter Schlichting said. “Because of COVID, Illinois has had a slight increase in permit sales. I expect we will have increased harvest for archery season since people have that time on their hands,� Schlichting said. As far as archery season, which started after Dec. 6, goes, it means during bow season, hunters could expect more company in the woods, especially state parks that allow hunting for those woodsmen who aren’t hunting on private land. Even COVID can’t keep the hunters of the region down, and the archery season was projected to have more deer harvests based on the permit sales. Although harvest numbers are going up, they are still a far cry from what was seen in 2007, when Illinois had the second highest firearm harvest ever recorded for deer season with 117,755 deer harvested, making up more than 50 percent of the deer population taken, according to IDNR totals for that year. In contrast, most folks can recall a time when hunting wasn’t so easy, namely, the big outbreak of bluetongue disease also known as EHD (Epizootic Hemorrhagic Disease) in 2012.
That year recorded the worst totals on record according to the IDNR, with 2,968 reported cases of the disease in 87 counties. This disease is caused by midges, which are flies that transmit the EHD virus. Luckily this year, EHD numbers were pretty low, according to Schlichting. Specific numbers have not been released as of press time. “We keep track of recorded EHD (Epizootic Hemorrhagic Disease). We had low reports of breakouts this year. We had a couple cases, but not enough that we had to reevaluate the permit sales,� Schlichting said. According to Schilchting, EHD booms usually occur when there is a big rain followed by a drought, ideal conditions for the ponds where midges breed in the mud. This can impact totals on a county-level, more so than the overall numbers in the state. The virus midges pass on to the deer gets its nickname because it causes internal hemorrhages in the blood vessels of deer. This causes the vessels, most visibly those in their tongues, to pop, which in turn causes a blue tongue. Overall, the region was on curve for this year’s deer harvest for shotgun season based on permit sales. Based on the sales of archery permits, locals might expect to have a good amount of deer to eat heading into the new year as well.
Individual with family connection to Calhoun appointed at MUSC
A doctor with ties to Calhoun was recently appointed as vice president of research at Medical University of South Carolina. Dr. Lori McMahon, who is the daughter of Duane and Yvonne Mossman, was born and raised in Calhoun County. Yvonne’s late parents, William and Beulah Weigel, were raised in Calhoun County as well. Lisa K. Saladin, PT, Ph.D., executive vice president for Academic Affairs and provost at the Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC) has announced the appointment of Lori L. McMahon, Ph.D., as vice president for research. McMahon will oversee the Office of Research and all of its associated divisions, which include responsibility for accreditation and regulatory affairs, universitywide promotion of research across all colleges and centers, representing the president and provost on internal and external research matters, and identifying institutional research strategies and benchmarks in relation to the MUSC strategic plan. She is scheduled to begin her new role on July 1, 2021, on a part-time basis until Nov. 1, 2021, when she will engage full time. McMahon will lead a team of researchers whose work consistently positions MUSC as a national leader in biomedical research and as the state’s leader in obtaining biomedical research funds. In fiscal year 2019, MUSC set
a new high, bringing in more than $284 million in extramural research funding. “We are excited about Lori joining our team and we look forward to working with her. She brings a collaborative, high-energy approach as well as broad and deep experience in research, education and leadership to our institution,� Saladin said. “Lori is well-equipped to amplify the success and impact of our research enterprise.� McMahon possesses more than 22 years of experience as a faculty member, educator and administrator at the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB). She is a federally funded basic and translational neuroscience researcher with numerous awards from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and other agencies throughout her career at UAB, and is nationally and internationally recognized for her work in the areas of neurodegenerative disease and neuropsychiatric illness, with a focus on synaptic plasticity and sex differences. McMahon will report directly to Saladin and serve as a member of the president’s council. McMahon joined UAB in 1998 as an assistant professor in the Department of Physiology and Biophysics, which later became the Department of Cell, Developmental and Integrative Biology in 2012. Over the next decade, she served in a variety of academic appointments, includ-
ing director of the Neuroscience Theme Graduate Program, associate director of the Comprehensive Center for Healthy Aging and associate director of the UAB McKnight Brain Research Institute. She also served, from 2012 to 2019, as the third director of the universitywide Comprehensive Neuroscience Center, which supports neuroscience research and education to a membership of more than 450 across the UAB campus. Her current leadership positions include serving as dean of the UAB Graduate School since 2015, where she oversees more than 140 graduate programs and nearly 8,000 graduate and professional students, and co-director of the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) R25 Roadmap Scholars Program, focused on increasing diversity in the neuroscience workforce. In addition, she is the Jarman F. Lowder Professor of Neuroscience and a tenured professor in the Department of Cell, Developmental and Integrative Biology in the UAB School of Medicine. Graduating summa cum laude from Southern Illinois University with a B.A. in biology/chemistry, McMahon earned a Ph.D. in neuropharmacology from the Department of Pharmacological and Physiological Science at Saint Louis University Health Sciences Center. She completed postdoctoral training in the

This now brings Calhoun’s COVID death toll to four. Relative to neighboring counties, Calhoun still is fortunate to have a low number of deaths related to COVID. For instance, Jersey County health officials have reported 32 deaths since COVID reached the area early last year. There are currently 45 active cases in Calhoun County. In total, Calhoun has had 437 positive cases, 392 of which have recovered.
