Vincentians receive CARES fund grant

By CONNOR ASHLOCK Calhoun News-Herald

T

he St. Vincent De Paul Society of Calhoun County has recently received grant funds through the CARES Act that will enable them to assist individuals in Calhoun County who have been affected

by COVID, but they have had difficulty in spreading the word about the grant and its opportunities.

The grant, which the Vincentians received on Dec. 1, can only be used until May 31. After that, the funds will have to be returned. “Our biggest problem is trying to

find those who are financially impacted with COVID because these funds are for them,� Brad Vacca, president of the local chapter of the St. Vincent De Paul Society, said.

Vacca explained that the local need has increased recently, as has been observed by Vincentians in terms of food distribution. “We manage the St. Louis Food Bank food distribution in the county.

We’ve averaged about 100 families in Calhoun that we service,� Vacca said. “This year, it was 170, so there was a 70-percent increase over last year that are coming to the monthly food distribution that we have on the first Wednesday of each month.�

Kathy Rogers, the secretary of the society, further explained that the funds can be used for a variety of COVID-related reasons. “It can only be used to help people

who have been affected by COVID,�

Rogers said. “If they are getting behind on rent, mortgage payments, utilities, medical expenses or have lost their jobs or have had their hours cut, we can help.�

Vacca shared that 10 percent of the grant can be spent on personal protection equipment, so in addition to the aforementioned eligible items, grant funds can also be used to purchase sanitizer, face shields and masks.

Rogers specified that eligibility does not require recipients to have contracted the virus. Those seeking assistance just have to explain how they have been affected by the virus.

Assistance is also restricted to only Calhoun residents. “They just need to talk to us.

They themselves do not have to have COVID,� Rogers said.

Each case is different, so the

Vincentians are encouraging anyone who feels they may qualify for the assistance to call their local hotline at 618-310-1141. “They’ll get a local person calling them back who lives in Calhoun and is a Vincentian,� Rogers said.

Rogers also shared that there isn’t an individual who is constantly manning the phone, so if readers don’t receive an answer, the organization is encouraging them to leave a message and wait for a return call.

The recent securement of the grant was made possible through the aid of county officials who worked to secure additional funds for the local organization. “We’ve been working with County Clerk Rita Hagen and she’s done a great job along with the Emergency Food and Shelter board assisting with the funding process,� Vacca said.

Calhoun establishes emergency telephonic system

By CONNOR ASHLOCK Calhoun News-Herald County officials have been working over the course of several months to peg down a reliable way to contact residents in the event of an emergency, and they’ve just about got the job done.

Calhoun County is partnering with CodeRed, a telephonic system provided through the company OnSolve. This type of service is specifically for entities such as county and municipal governments and is expected to benefit not just private residents, but businesses, governing bodies, law enforcement, the highway department, health department and other entities as well.

The Calhoun Commissioners and the Calhoun County Sheriff’s Department have been actively working on bringing a system like this to Calhoun since the 2019 flood.

Between the Great Flood of 1993, the 2019 flood and the COVID-19 pandemic, the county realized that it needed a better way of communicating with its citizens, who are spread out along the nearly 40-mile-long county. “There are two services that will be provided

by CodeRed,â€? a press release issued by the Calhoun Commissioners stated. “The first is providing emergency notifications‌The second service provided by CodeRed is weather warning services.â€?

In the event of an emergency, the sheriff’s office will quickly create and send a public notification to either the entire county or to a specific location, depending on the situation.

Weather-related services will be sent from the National Weather Service. “Residents of Calhoun have a choice.

Although many phone numbers are automatically downloaded into CodeRed’s database, residents of Calhoun have a choice to receive the emergency notifications or have their information removed from the database,� the press release read.

In preparing for a successful launch of the county-wide service, the sheriff’s department will be conducting a series of test notifications to work out any kinks in the system and to ensure that everyone who wants to receive these messages will be receiving them.

Hardin waives liquor license fees amid COVID

By JARAD JARMON Calhoun News-Herald It will be a while before local businesses can start to truly recover from the impact COVID19 has wrought, but local leaders are hoping to ease the burden some.

Hardin leaders voted to waive all liquor license fees this year as a form of “COVID-relief,�

Hardin Village Clerk Danielle Hurley said. The decision was made at the monthly Village Board meeting Wednesday, Jan. 13.

Craig Johnson brought up the idea following last month’s meeting, and it was addressed at the village last week, Hurley said.

Notably, Hardin Mayor Dave Hurley did not take part in the conversation in regards to this relief.

Hurley and his wife have now taken ownership over the gas station, which also prompted the need for a new liquor commissioner. The village’s attorney, Bill Strang, was accepted as the new liquor commissioner during the meeting as well.

In the meeting, board trustees

also went over the potential for amending a village ordinance to allow a cell tower to be constructed on an individual’s property on the northwest edge of Hardin. “A resident of the Village of Hardin has been approached about putting a cell tower on his property at the edge of town,�

Hurley said.

At next month’s meeting, board trustees will vote on whether to amend the ordinance to allow for that.

It is always a challenge to inspire a willingness to work for the volunteer ambulance services in the county, and it is no different this time around, according to volunteers. “We are still concerned,� Wanda Blackwell, Calhoun Ambulance coordinator, said. “We only have three that are taking the class right now. We usually like to have more than that in a class, but we need EMTs, so they are going to go ahead and continue the class with three.�

Eight to 10 is usually considered a nice-sized class to start, Blackwell said.

Sometimes people do not finish the class.

Last year, the classes started out with 10 people, two of who are now working on the ambulance.

Maybe we need a break from COVID-19

By BILL HOAGLAND Most of my columns recently have been about COVID-19 in one way or another.

Maybe we need a break.

Maybe we need to get as far away from that subject as we possibly can — at least for a week anyway. And the farthest we can get away from that subject, literally speaking, is to talk about “outer space.”

In other words, let’s talk briefly about what we know, at this point, about the outer limits of “outer space,” and why we are about to discover much more about it.

In 2016, astrophysicists, utilizing the Hubble Space Telescope, located a galaxy believed to be not only the oldest galaxy in the universe but also the galaxy that is furthest away from us out in the hinterlands of the universe. This galaxy has been given the name “GN-z11” and is believed to be 13.4 billion light years away from us. Expressed another way, 13.4 billion light years would be 134 “nonillion” kilometers away from us.

And in case you are wondering, a “nonillion” is a bigger number than a billion, trillion, quadrillion, quintillion, sextillion, septillion or even an octillion; a “nonillion” is a standard number followed by 30 zeros. Wow. It makes the head spin.

In short, the GN-z11 galaxy is a long way away; the light we now see in the telescope when looking at that galaxy left there 13.4 billion years ago. And it appears that this galaxy is moving even further away from our galaxy (as are all galaxies) as time goes on. Scientists believe that it was formed 400 million years after “The Big Bang,” and that is why it continues to be moving away from us.

Being able to study GN-z11 and these other earliest galaxies as they were forming allows us to better determine the physical process by which the universe developed in the first place.

While we don’t know what might be out there beyond GN-z11, we may soon find out. That’s because on Oct. 31, 2021,

Ambulance

(Continued from A1) “It is not a hard thing to complete, but as they say, life sometimes gets in the way,” she said. “You always hope that the students complete the class, and these students that we have are very sincere about taking the class. So, we are hoping that that helps push them through, but like I said, life happens.

Sometimes there are issues where they do have to drop out.”

Blackwell noted the pandemic may have made an impact on the size of this year’s class.

“We were hopeful for more, but I think with the concerns for COVID out there right now, that’s a big concern to citizens,” Blackwell said. “I am sure it played a major factor in it. We always have issues with having students, but COVID-19 doesnt help.”

Still, Blackwell was encouraged by those that are taking the class.

“We are really grateful for the three that we have that are stepping up and helping us out,” she said.

The class will run until the end of May. It is clear though that every individual counts, not to just add to the roster of people that can make it for calls, but to replace those who have chosen to not be a part of the service anymore.

“Just because you say you have so many on your roster, that doesn’t mean they are all available for a call at that time,” Blackwell said. “So, if you have 20 on your roster, because they are volunteers, they volunteer only when they can go, and sometimes when you have ambulance calls, a lot of your people might be working that day.”

They do have some retired people that help them out during the day as EMTs and drivers, but those are also the ones that may have to opt out of helping out soon.

“Maybe we take on a class, and maybe we get two EMTs from that class, we might have two,” Blackwell said. “Every year, we need EMTs to

NASA is launching the James Webb Space Telescope, which will basically put the most powerful space telescope ever built into orbit.

This will be an orbit around the sun, believe it or not, in a path that at some points in the orbit will be a million miles from earth. By getting beyond the earth’s atmosphere with this orbit, scientists will for the first time potentially be able to view the universe even beyond GN-z11.

But the outer reaches of our universe are not the only area of focus for this telescope. Among other issues, it will be searching for more exoplanets where humans might some day survive – for those of you who have expressed an interest in living elsewhere.

replace the ones that no longer want to continue with the service. Most of the EMTs we have with the service have been with the service a long time.”

Should the force not be available to go out, the county will need to rely on contracting out or having a paid service, options that are inefficient, expensive or both.

“We do need the help, and like we have said before, a paid service would be very, very expensive,” Blackwell said.

Contracting out has its own problems.

“If we would contract out, there is still always the time involved,” she said.

“If you have a critical incident and you have to wait 20-30 mintues for a hospital to come in and help you, that is critical because of the time…All of the others that continue to help us out for mutual aid, they have been extremely busy also...

There could be some times when they aren’t available, and that means we would not have an ambulance service.”

do smart readers choose for their weekly news?

Telephonic

If this launch is successful, the year 2021 will be the starting point for a new era of astrophysics. The James Webb Space Telescope already has its own web site (www.jwst.nasa. gov), and they predict on the site that the information developed as a result of this project will “fundamentally alter our understanding of the universe.”

Hurley was told that Verizon was making a big push from Springfield to St. Louis in expanding their coverage, and that they were putting towers in Adams, Greene, Jersey and Calhoun counties.

Property buyouts were addressed during the meeting as well. Hurley updated the board on the status of the buyout project.

Volunteers are the real way in which to ensure the service is maintained, but Blackwell added that the donations have played a part, too.

“We are very thankful to the public,” she said. “We had a raffle, and we were able to match funds with Modern Woodmen, and we were able to get some more educational supplies. That was great.”

homes will be closing. So, starting in February, they will be having contractors demo those properties.

At last month’s meeting, they accepted a bid from Supreme Trucking to handle the demolition. The board leaders approved the contract at this meeting.

The board OK’d other bids, during Wednesday’s meeting, namely the bid for work on the ditch running along Mary and Orchard Street.

“It is going to fix the ditch that runs parallel to Mary Street… and orchard,” Hurley said. “It is just washing out.”

25 years ago Jan. 17, 1996 The Midwest Gobblers chapter of the National Wild Turkey Federation (N.W.T.F.) will soon begin its 1996 banquet season.

This year will be a benchmark for future Illinois banquets, for they will be hosting two separate banquets. Due to the overwhelming progressive response in attendance, multiple banquets seemed worth a challenge.

With the chapter hosting two separate banquets, it will stand alone in Illinois and will be at the forefront of the nation.

The first banquet will be February 16, 1996 at the Alton Wood River Sportsmen Club in Godfrey. The second banquet will be March 9, 1996 at the Jerseyville American Legion.

Everyone is encouraged to purchase their ticket well in advance for they are limited and may not be available at the door.

Respond prior to Feb. 2, 1996 and be included in a drawing for $100 worth of raffle tickets for either banquet.

50 years ago Jan. 21, 1971 The Hardin TV and Radio Store operated by Mayor William Peisker on County road next to the AG Store, was broken into Sunday evening by thieves who were apparently scared off in the midst of the caper.

Mayor Peisker told the News that he went to the store about 7 p.m. after watching the Super Bowl game that afternoon and

Wednesday, January 20, 2021

noticed some of his merchandise piled up at the back window of the building.

He discovered that the window had been broken but that the room was still warm, as if the glass had not been out but a few minutes.

He thought he must have walked in on the robbers and that they fled.

Peisker said one good tape recorder was missing and that the thieves had another tape recorder and some portable radios at the window, apparently to be moved out when he came in.

75 years ago Jan. 17, 1946 Calhoun County has been allocated $34,612.10 for construction of farm to market roads during the coming year, according to Gov. Green, who has announced the plans for expending the $10,000,000 appropriation for such roads throughout the state.

The road mileage in Calhoun County to benefit from this allocation is 26,480. An additional five million dollars will be available throughout the state beginning with the fiscal year July 1, 1946, under the same legislation which provides the present allocation.

Under the setup specified by the legislature, the 1,650 townships throughout the state benefitting from the funds will bear the expense of grading and construction of culverts below a certain size. The state money will be devoted to all weather surfacing and to financing building

Calhoun News-Herald

of culverts of larger dimensions.

Allocation of the 10 million appropriation disclosed that approximately $130 will be available for each mile of road within the various townships.

The allocation was made on the basis of the total mileage of roads within the various townships, so that each received an allotment commensurate with its needs.

100 years ago Jan. 20, 1921 Uncle J.W. Clendenny, of near Baytown, was in Hardin last Thursday and while here, he paid our office a pleasant visit and handed us two dollars to keep the News coming to his home.

He was accompanied to Hardin by his two sons, Amos and John Henry, and his two grandsons, Edward and Claude Clendenny.

Uncle J.W. Clendenny is one of north Calhoun County’s oldest landmarks, being a resident of this county for over 40 years.

Uncle J.W. Clendenny was born in Kentucky 84 years ago the fourth day of next July.

With his parents, when a small lad, he came, by boat, and landed at Clarksville, MO. Later, the parents, with J.W., moved over into Calhoun County and settled, this place has since been the home of J.W. Traveling by boat in the days that the Clendennys came from Kentucky to Missouri was much different than today and the boats, too, were of a different make. In those days,

the boats contained but one deck- the lower, or first, deck, and the passengers traveling thereon were compelled to cook their own meals.

Uncle J.W. Clendenny made this trip to the full enjoyment of his then boyish heart.

Uncle J.W. has lived a happy and useful life and Providence has blessed him with health, strength, contentment and happiness- these blessings he still enjoys today.

In the year 1860, he took unto himself a young helpmate and through all these years, the hand of Providence has safely guided them and preserved their lives and blessed them in their undertakings.

Mrs. Clendenny is two years her husband’s junior and she, too, is in good health and strength.

With the exception of two children who died in infancy, their family chain has not been broken. They have reared eight children to manhood and womanhood and they are among Calhoun County’s best citizens.

It is a pleasure to the News to know the old settlers of Calhoun County and it is our wish that they remain with us for many years to come.

Uncle J.W. Clendenny is a Republican in politics.

He cast his first presidential vote in the year 1860Lincoln and Douglass were the opposing candidates for the presidency in that election.

OBITUARIES ROGER A. FLOCK Roger A. Flock, 72, of Brighton, formerly of Hardin, IL, passed away December 19, 2020. Roger was born March 19, 1948 in Hardin to Paul and Dimple (Presley) Flock, who preceded him in death.

Roger was an employee of the Calhoun School District for a number of years and enjoyed the outdoors and fishing. Roger will be remembered for his easy going manner and having an artistic nature that manifested itself in painting and especially his skill in playing the guitar.

Roger is survived by siblings Eric (Debbie) Flock of Georgia, Paulette (Jeff)

between 1868-1870 by Luman Curtius. Rainey purchased the home in 1909.

The three-story home features seven bedrooms, four on the second floor and three on the third floor plus a huge basement that includes a kitchen. Also included in the purchase was a small guest house located behind the main house and a dairy barn, which they planned to turn into a reception hall. The home was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1987.

The Wellers knew going in that the house needed a lot of work. They have employed three contractors to work on the main house and guest house to hopefully have the venture ready for business by spring.

“We have one set of contractors working on the houses, one on the reception hall and another one working on the porches,” Weller said. “The front porch and the porch on the east side we are going to try to put back together as close to the original as possible so it might take a bit longer than we anticipated.”

Changes had to be made to the idea for the reception hall and dairy barn concept.

“Originally, I thought the dairy barn was going to be the reception hall but it is not quite big enough,” she said.

“I was hoping it was going to be our indoor wedding site, but it just wasn’t quite big enough so we are going to put up a pole barn next to it and it is going to be the reception hall.”

Because the house is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, no major changes can be made to the home.

“Most of what we are doing is just repairing the drywall and putting in some ceilings – just finishing what they had already started,” Weller said. “We are not changing the structure of the house at all. It is going to remain the reflection of the past that it has always been.”

The former owner of the house, Matt Gill, even insisted that all of the Henry T. Rainey memorabilia remain with the house.

Chris L. Ball, 80, of rural Nebo, IL passed away Wednesday afternoon January 12, 2021 at Christian Hospital in St. Louis, MO. Chris was born January 21, 1940 in Berlin, Germany, a daughter of Gerhart and Annelies Ruth Schumacher Ellrich. She married Gail Ball on March 4, 1960 in Berlin, Germany and he survives.

Chris was a long time employee of the Pleasant Hill Garment Factory until it’s closing. She also worked at Thornton’s and Holcomb’s Restaurants in Pleasant Hill. More recently she had been employed

by Puckett’s Convenience Stores in Pleasant Hill and Pittsfield.

Chris was a member of the former Pleasant Hill Lioness Club and enjoyed volunteering with the Pleasant Hill Lions Club and the Pleasant Hill American Legion. She enjoyed mowing, vegetable gardening, boating, fishing and all types of outdoor activities.

Chris was preceded in death by her parents.

Funeral services were held Saturday, January 16, 2021 at 2:00 p.m. at the First Baptist Church in Pleasant Hill conducted by Pastor Don Hannel. Burial followed at Crescent Heights Cemetery in Pleasant Hill.

Visitation was held Saturday from 12 noon until time of services at the church.

Memorials may be made to the Crescent Heights Cemetery Association.

DONNA FAY HOPKINS Donna Fay Hopkins, 75, of Tallahassee, passed away January 8, 2021. She was born November 11, 1945 in Blountstown, Florida. Donna worked at Eckerd's Drug Store in Tallahassee as a Cosmetologist for 17 years and for the Department of Agriculture for 11 years. She enjoyed going fishing and she truly loved her dogs and cats.

Donna was one of the good ones, a heart of gold and sassy, the epitome of style and grace.

Survivors include her children Sonja Strickland and husband Doug & Michael Ganey, sister Jean Ming and husband Bill, half brothers Roger Vinson & Joseph "Squeaky" Berry, sister-in-law Macy Lee, granddaughter Kasey Strickland Glover, step granddaughter Nichole Enfinger, grandson Brandon Ganey and a special niece Dale Deason.

Brittany and Bobby Weller stand outside the front door of Walnut Hall, soon to be Walnut Hall Estates, a new wedding venue planning to open in Spring of 2021 in the former home of Henry T. Rainey.

“He insisted that all of it stay with the house,” Weller said. “It came with the house when he purchased it and insisted it remain when we purchased it as well. There is one room in the house that has a lot of Rainey memorabilia in it.”

The Wellers do not plan on living in the house. Instead, the entire house will be devoted to wedding preparation.

On the wedding day, the upstairs parlor will be utilized as the bridal suite where the bridesmaids will get ready.

The basement will serve as a “mancave” where the groomsmen will get ready.

The guest house can be used as a honeymoon suite for the bride and groom and one or all of the seven bedrooms will be offered in some of the wedding packages.

“When the house isn’t being used for weddings, we hope to utilize it as an Air BnB,” Weller said. “We have a lot of hunters come here during the hunting season, so perhaps they might need a place to stay while they are here. That is one option.”

The main house can also be rented out for small birthday parties, baby showers, wedding showers or any other sort of get togethers, such as business meetings, etcetera.

The reception hall can be rented out for larger parties or large family get togethers as well.

Walnut Hall Estate will be operated by the Wellers themselves. Bobby Weller is currently a deputy sergeant with the Madison County Sheriff’s Department and farms

Reno of Piasa, 5 nieces and nephews, 8 great nieces and nephews, 2 aunts, and many cousins. Arrangements are pending due to Covid19 restrictions and being handled by Gress, Kallal, and Schaaf funeral home.

Walnut Hall to be turned into wedding venue

By CARMEN ENSINGER Calhoun News-Herald When Bobby and Brittany Weller got married back in 2009, they faced a big challenge that would ultimately lead them into the adventure that they just embarked on recently when they purchased the Walnut Hall, also commonly referred to as the Rainey Mansion, located just outside of Carrollton.

The Wellers, of Greenfield, plan to turn the home into a combination wedding venue and Air BnB. “When we got married, we really struggled to find a place that was big enough to hold our wedding,” Brittany Weller said. “We ended up having to hold it in a cattle pasture because we couldn’t find a place big enough to accommodate all of our guests.”

It was an experience she never forgot and something she didn’t want other brides to have to go through if she could help it.

“I didn’t want any other young brides to have to go through what I did trying to find a place big enough for all their guests, and so for several years, we had been looking for just the perfect property,” she said. “A few times as I had come into Carrollton I had seen the house and thought what a great house that would be for what I wanted to do but learned that someone already lived there. A year or two later I drove past there and there was a for sale sign in the yard and I got really excited and it just kind of snowballed from there.”

The Wellers attended the open house, looked around, got ideas, went home, discussed things, did some figuring, and then two days later, put in an offer.

“It was kind of exciting and scary all at the same time,” Weller said. “They accepted our offer and before we knew it, we were on our way to making our dream become a reality.”

The stately mansion is the former home of Congressman Henry T. Rainey, former Speaker of the House, who died in 1934. The three-story Greek Revival with Italianate influences home was built

Predeceased by her father Lloyd Smith, mother Betty Roberson and husband Frank, brothers Mark Lee & James Troy Berry.

A private celebration will be held with burial at Pine Memorial Cemetery in Blountstown at a later date.

Deep Calling unto Deep Rull Brothers Hardin, IL

Jersey Community Hospital 618-498-6402 www.jch.org

“Deep calls to deep in the roar of your waterfalls; all your waves and breakers have swept over me.”

Psalm 42:7 NIV

T

here is something deep within us which longs for communion with God. As the psalmist tells us: “As the deer pants for streams of water, so my soul pants for you, my God. My soul thirsts for God, for the living God.” (Psalm 42:1-2 NIV) There is something deeply mysterious, but also deeply comforting in this, to know that in our innermost being there is something which seeks its creator.

Perhaps a better metaphor is that our souls contain a lock for which God is the key. How wonderful that God speaks to us in the depths of our souls, from the depths of His being. How blessed we are to taste and see and hear God so directly.

These experiences of God within us are usually powerful and transformative. Our bodies, our minds, and our souls can hardly

contain the experience of God, and so our hearts overflow with gratitude. The experience often drives home the frailty and puniness of our human bodies, and makes us aware of the deeper treasure within: “But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us.” (2Corinthians 4:7 NIV) That God calls to us and we to Him in the depths of our souls gives our faith a firm foundation and makes us feel at home in an otherwise uncaring world.

WHAT'S GOING ON BETWEEN THE RIVERS Q Point News

by Carol Sue Carnes Q 618-883-2333

Weather is still a bit unsettled, but we did have a dusting of snow on Friday.

Luckily, we missed the 1-1/2 to 2 inches north and west of us. We have been fortunate so far, but winter is still not over.

Warmer temperatures through Thursday this week, then rain and turning colder.

With today being Martin Luther King Day, I decided to check out more about this holiday. Back in 1968, four days after Dr. King’s assasination, Representative John Conyers, a Democrat from Michigan introduced legislation for a federal holiday in his honor. It marked the start of an informal commemoration to honor Dr. King’s life. It is held every year on the third Monday of January to celebrate his life and achievements as an influential Minister and American civil rights leader.

Kelley Heffington, son Brantley and daughter Graceyn of Golden Eagle returned on Saturday evening to St. Louis Lambert Airport. They had spent an entire week in Orlando, Fla., where they stayed at Disney’s Art of Animation Resort. Each day, they enjoyed a different area of the park including multiple Kilimanjaro Safaris through the Harambe Wildlife Reserve.

They enjoyed visiting another planet (Pandora), visiting Hollywood Studios, having dinner at Hollywood & Vine with Mickey, Minnie, Goofy and Pluto, seeing the parade of all the princesses riding on horses, visiting Magic Kingdom where they rode every ride there, then on to Star Wars Galaxy Edge. They all agreed it was their favorite Disney ride, the “Rise of the Resistance� ride. In between time spent at the park, they also enjoyed the pool at the resort.

Kelley reported over 47 miles walked during the week, lots of great food and beautiful scenery. Sounds like they had a wonderful trip all around!

Congratulations to Dr. Lori (Mossman) McMahon, who was recently appointed as vice president of research at the Medical University of South Carolina. Lori is the daughter of Duane and Yvonne Mossman of Godfrey and granddaughter of the late Frank and Evelyn Mossman and William and Beulah Weigel, all former

Brussels residents.

Congratulations to Jeanene Kiel of Golden Eagle, a math teacher at Brussels High School for over 15 years, who was recently nominated in the St. Louis Post Dispatch teacher appreciation contest. People can vote in the contest online at the contest page of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch website.

Her coworker commented “the students at Brussels High School are more than college ready after having her for four straight years.�

Such great news! Let’s all get online and vote for her.

Ben and Jill Rose and daughters Claire and Lila of Brussels and Willie and Renee Rose, Charlotte, Anderson and Emme of Golden Eagle spent an enjoyable weekend in St. Louis. There, they stayed at the Union Station Hotel, visited the aquarium, rode the enclosed ferris wheel, as well as the carousel, watched the light show and toured the Conservation and Education Center – three galleries: River Gallery, Discovery Gallery and the Rain Garden. Sounds like they all had an amazing weekend together.

Keith and Matthew Baecht of Jerseyville spent the weekend with George and Yvonne Baecht. They enjoyed the last weekend of deer hunting while here.

On Sunday afternoon, Matthew visited his other grandparents Sue and John Kinchloe in Meppen, with there being no school on Monday he remained overnight and returned home the next day.

Still a few cases of COVID in the area and several people quarantined at this time. With so many having to stay home and not going anywhere, there is not much news to write again this week.

Birthday blessings this week to my niece Kathy Carey, also Agnes Kamp, Mary Vogel, Megan Brangenberg, Loralei Hartman, Bonnie Held, Pat Hoemmen, Heather Simon, JoAnn Nolte, Josh Johnes, Melissa Kiel, Dylan Droege, Lee Mans, Gary Kulp, Chris Baalman, Dennis Johnes and all other celebrating their natal day at this time.

Happy Anniversary to Tommy and Sharon Ennis of Mepepen and all others celebrating their wedding anni-

versary this week.

With Inauguration Day being just a couple days away, we should continue to offer daily prayers for our country to show Christian unity.

Since 1937, the United States presidential inauguration has included one or more prayers, given by members of the clergy. Before that in 1933, an associated prayer service, either public or private, was attended by the President-elect on the morning of the day.

On Saturday, Jan. 21, 2017 an interfaith National Prayer Service was held at the Washington National Cathedral and was attended by President Trump, Vice President Pence and their spouses.

As of Jan. 15, 2021 Episcopal News Service reports a service will also be held at the National Cathedral, but as of today, details had not been announced.

A Prayer for President Donald Trump: Lord, We pray for the safety of President Trump and his family upon his now leaving office, Strengthen him, give him wisdom and grace as he returns to daily life after leaving the White House.

Entrust him and his family into God’s care in the years ahead.

Amen.

Prayer for President-elect Joe Biden: Lord, give our newly elected President wisdom and grace. Let him speak and act with honesty and integrity. Make him a true servant leader. Bring strong, wise and spiritually mature people to surround him. Only through Your power is our country and world made whole. Amen.

A prayer for members of Congress: Lord, we pray for both the Senate and House of Representatives. Speak to them of truth, integrity, justice and fairness. Return them to the great aspirations they had when they ran for office — to help others, to right wrongs, and to make the world a better place.

Give each one of them strength to reach out to those across the aisle and work together.

As King David declared “How good and pleasant it is when God’s people live and work together in unity.� Give them a desire to promote things for the better, not just their own political careers. In God’s name, Amen.

With this pandemic, there is no leverage to get kids to keep their grades up. As a parent, my kids had to keep grades up to play sports or activities. Right now, the kids don’t even have that option, yet they are keeping their grades up anyway!

That’s definitely something that screams “Warrior Pride.�

Speaking of Warrior Pride, if you happen to see two ladies on Friday mornings driving through Kampsville, throwing bags of mini muffins etc. out of their car windows to kids waiting at the bus stop, that’s also two wonderful teachers, Heidi Doyle and Tina Jones. They are on their way to school to teach and stopped to put a smile on kids’ faces.

The junior class is having a drive-thru chili lunch at the Four Square Market in Hardin on Jan. 30 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Orders can be placed in advance by contacting any junior class member.

If you are unsure of who was in the junior class, shoot

me a message or give me a call on my cell phone 618535-5915, and I will put you in touch with a junior class member where I will get your order to them. You can also order the day off as a drive-thru if you choose to.

Happy Ninth Birthday to Harper Watters on the 14th.

Happy Birthday also to our Village Clerk Jodi Becker, who celebrated her birthday on Jan. 15.

A very Happy Birthday to Dan Hagen, who turned 70 on Jan. 17.

COVID-19 NUMBERS AS OF JAN. 14, 2020 Total positives: Active cases: Recovered: Deaths: Under monitoring:

By JARAD JARMON Calhoun News-Herald The number of active cases of COVID-19 in the county has dipped, as health officials continue work to inoculate residents in the community.

According to the most recent update from the Calhoun Health Department, there were 28 active cases in the county. In total, there have been 452 positive cases of COVID in Calhoun. Health officials report 424 have recovered while four have died, one a little over a week ago.

Local health officials, like others in the state, have been working diligently to get people vaccinated. According to the Illinois Department of Public Health (IPDH), Calhoun has adminstered 252 doses of the vaccine. Notably, the COVID vaccines require two doses. In total, 26 in the county have been fully vaccinated. This represents .54 percent of the population of the county, based on the total population of 4,802 for Calhoun.

Vaccination data is reported based on the date IDPH receives vaccination reports from providers. Providers are to report as soon as practicable, but reporting can be delayed as much as 72 hours, which

452 28 424 4 111 can lead to a lag between vaccines delivered to Illinois and vaccines administered. These numbers represented what stood as of Jan. 18.

Calhoun lags behind in terms of population vaccination numbers. In Jersey, 157 have been vaccinated, meaning .72 percent of the population was fully vaccinated. In Greene, 111 have been fully vaccinated, representing .85 percent of that county.

As was previously reported, vaccination dose shipments have been based in part on the need.

Calhoun County was further down the list in comparison to surrounding counties to first receive doses, but for good reason. Neighboring counties like Jersey and Greene, along with others across the state, saw a shipment of doses earlier because of their higher respective rates of death per capita. It was reported that the initial doses were distributed in the 50 counties with the highest per capita death rates.

For context, there are 102 counties in the state.

Jersey County was listed at No. 31. At the top of the list was Greene County.

Calhoun County has been comparatively fortunate to see the vast majority of afflicted residents recover from the virus.

Local law enforcement concerned over new reforms

By LUCAS GARDNER Calhoun News-Herald Sirens are going off for local law enforcement after state lawmakers passed sweeping police and criminal justice reforms.

On Wednesday, Jan. 13, the Illinois Senate passed HB3653 or the “Criminal Justice Reform Bill,” a 700-plus page omnibus bill set to change use-of-force guidelines, require body cameras for every police department in the state, end cash bail and strip collective bargaining rights relating to discipline from police unions.

And local police are voicing their concerns.

“The way it sounds is we can’t protect ourselves or anyone else, and if it is the way it was presented, it is bad news,” Calhoun Sheriff Bill Heffington said. “But, I would like to get the facts first.”

For local law enforcement, there is a feeling that a target is on their back with this reform.

Heffington recalls a case where an individual took copious amounts of pills just before being arrested, which resulted in an overdose in the law enforcement vehicle. This posed a big question for Heffington.

“Well what could happen to me,” Heffington questioned.

Things could be different with the “Death in Custody Act,” requiring law enforcement agencies to report to the Illinois Criminal Justice Information Authority (ICJIA) any case in which a person dies while in the custody of a law enforcement agency, local or state correctional facility or in custody of a peace officer and as a result of the peace officer’s use of force.

Jersey County Sheriff Mike Ringhausen took issue with the reforms as well, noting that it could hurt the community.

“It will affect the community, and in my opinion it will hurt. I do think there will be crimes that you will be put in jail for such as murder, but I just don’t know,” Ringhausen said.

The omnibus bill was approved by the Illinois Senate and House a little after 4 a.m. after a one-hour discussion that Wednesday.

The bill will enact several changes

to the criminal justice system over the course of the next few years such as: Q Criminals will no longer have to post bail Q Changes regarding felony murder Q Changes on the use of force Q New training requirements Q Changes on officer immunity Q Unfunded state-mandated body cameras Among the changes, the bill is still being reviewed by the Sheriff’s Association.

“I don’t know how this bill even passed,” Jim Kaitschuk, president of the Illinois Sheriff’s Association, said. “Even California didn’t do this.

They put it on a ballet and voted.”

From Kaitschuk’s perspective, this was poorly executed with no effective way to communicate, and he stressed “poor is a big understatement.”

“We weren’t allowed access to the Capitol due to COVID, which is a problem in itself, but I was on the phone with legislators that were at the Capitol,” Kaitschuk said. “They introduced an amendment at 3 a.m. with an hour to debate a 700-page bill and no effective way to share concerns. The opportunity for public comment was limited and the execution of it was poor and that is a big understatement.”

Ringhausen expressed great disappointment after hearing this bill had been passed by the general assembly and expects it could put citizens at risk.

“There is potential danger to citizens just because of the fact that we won’t be able to hold criminals accountable,” Ringhausen said.

Ringhausen said he has never seen such a thing before.

“I’ve been fighting for the right thing for 30 years. I don’t know how we will ever come back from this,” Ringhausen said.

“I’m just dumbfounded about this, on a personal level it feels like we are not supported in doing our job,” he later added.

Even things that Ringhausen did not take issue with might still be problematic in implementation.

“They are mandating body cameras, which I have no problem with,

Hardin, Illinois

but the affording them is the issue,” Ringhausen said.

That is not the only seemingly unfunded mandate. The bill requires law enforcement to have more training for officers, but the state has cut the budget.

“Where is the money to do this,” Ringhausen questioned. “I have concerns, but until I can get my hands on the bill and read it, I just don’t know.”

In the current state of the bill, Ringhausen’s second concern is that law enforcement will no longer be supported.

“I’m not a person that is to be compared to David in the Bible, but I raised my hand and swore an oath to do my job, and face the giant. Right now, I have no rock and no sling, and it makes me feel like I’m not supported,” Ringhausen said.

Ringhausen said that now more than ever is the time to support law enforcement and officers alike.

“I think now is the time to reach out to law enforcement and let them know you support them. It takes 10 seconds to say thanks for your service, and right now I think that is what people need to do. Show support to the men and women in blue.”

Ringhausen said this bill is a step in the wrong direction, but is uncertain how until it’s available for review. “‘The only thing that evil needs to triumph is for good men and women to stand by and do nothing,’ a quote from John F Kennedy. I slightly changed it, because there are women in law enforcement. I feel like this is where that bill is going, but I can’t know for sure until I can see it and read it,” Ringhausen said.

Ringhausen said that people who do this job need both motivation and compassion. ”You have to have drive and compassion, and I’m proud to do this job. I have no problem laying my life down for someone. And if you hinder me and my duty, you force the citizens to arm themselves. We need to move forward not backwards,” Ringhausen said.

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

Here are some fascinating facts about presidential inaugurations on inauguration day: George Washington was inaugurated in two different cities – first in New York City and second in Philadelphia, and he also had to borrow money to travel to New York for the first one.

He owned a lot of land but didn’t have a lot of cash at his disposal.

By Katrinna Brangenberg After George Washington’s first inauguration. Inauguration Day was declared March 4 up until the ratification of the 20th Amendment in 1933. Franklin D. Roosevelt was inaugurated for the second time on the new date, Jan. 20, 1937.

John Adams was the first president to skip his successor’s inauguration. Although John Adams and Thomas Jefferson had been close friends, they eventually became rivals. Eight hours before Thomas Jefferson’s inauguration ceremony, John Adams left Washington. He was the first President who skipped his successor’s swearing-in ceremony.

History repeated itself 28 years later, when John Quincy Adams boycotted Andrew Jackson’s inauguration.

Dolley Madison was the first first lady to attend an inauguration.

Franklin Pierce became the only president of the United States to “affirm” the office of the President rather than “swear” it, and did not use a Holy Bible. He was affirmed in the midst of a crisis of faith. He had lost his son, Benjamin, in a train crash two months earlier.
