School district No. 40 considering connecting to Calhoun Rural Water

By JARAD JARMON Calhoun News-Herald The Calhoun School District leaders are considering connecting to Calhoun Rural Water.

Th interest in moving away from their current setup was addressed at last week’s Calhoun School Board meeting.

The district’s water has been supplied by the Village of Hardin, but school leaders are looking at other options, namely Calhoun Rural Water, following frequent water main breaks leading to early dismissals at the

school.

Just a couple of weeks ago, water main breaks became an issue for those at Calhoun High School. On Thursday, Jan. 9, Calhoun High School students were dismissed early because of a water main break.

For Hardin, water has grown to be a big issue. It was previously reported that Hardin’s water system is in dire need of these repairs. The water mains have had numerous breaks over the years leading to a need for frequent boil orders.

In a recent move, the Hardin Village Board decided to reach out the Illinois

American Water Company to potentially buy the village’s water and waste water assets — a controversial move in other nearby communities concerned with significant increases in water rates.

Superintendent Kate Sievers said in her report at the board meeting last week that she has met with Dwight Moore from Calhoun Rural Water regarding the potential to connect to the rural water system.

Should the school district want to move forward with the idea, it will still be sometime before they are connected on to the system.

“A few things have to be looked at before this can happen,� Sievers said. “I will be attending the CRW Board meeting at CRW on Jan. 21. This would be a project they would have to take on to get CHS connected and one where it could cost both them and us some money.�

Aside from this announcement, board members OK’d the district to apply for a state grant that would allow the Calhoun High School to update the boy’s and girl’s locker rooms.

or months, legislators and advocates have been discussing what action the state can take to counteract the overuse of physical restraint and forced isolation of students in Illinois schools, particularly those serving students with special needs, after an investigation surfaced controversial use of the tools as punishment among numerous school districts.

Miss Calhoun is bright light at state pageant

By JARAD JARMON Calhoun News-Herald Miss Calhoun County Toni “Junie�

Raylynne Zirkelbach was all smiles over the weekend competing against 73 contestants in the state pageant for the title of Miss Illinois County Fair Queen.

Zirkelbach received no special placement at the state competition, and yet, this did not hamper her enjoyment. “She had a great attitude the entire weekend,� Calhoun Pageant Director Tara Adams said.

Touching on her performance during the competition, Adams said Zirkelbach was beautiful inside and out during the competition. “She did very well,� Adams said. “I would not have changed a thing. She did perfect.�

Zirkelbach was crowned as the Calhoun County Queen in September.

Zirkelbach is the daughter of Tony Zirkelbach of Kampsville and Marcia Zirkelbach of Hardin. Zirkelbach is currently a sophomore at Illinois College in Jacksonville. She plans to graduate Illinois College with a bachelor’s degree in biology and pursue a career in occupational therapy.

Calhoun School District was not among these, though, according to the Superintendent Kate Sievers. “Neither school has an isolation or time out room where students are put for isolated timeouts,� she said.

It was reported that Calhoun CUSD #40 did not have any documented incidents of isolated restraints or timeouts for the 2017-18 or the 201819 school years, following an Illinois Freedom of Information Act request of public records of isolated timeout incident reports.

This was not the case for many other schools in the state.

Earlier this month at a joint Illinois Senate and House committee hearing in Chicago, several of those who spoke credited revelations unearthed by a Chicago Tribune and ProPublica investigation published in November for the increased interest in the topic.

That investigation showed there were more than 20,000 documented incidents of isolation used in the state from the start of the 2017-2018 school year through December 2018. “The students, most of them with disabilities, scratch the windows or tear at the padded walls.

They throw their bodies against

locked doors. They wet their pants. Some children spend hours inside these rooms, missing class time. Through it all, adults stay outside the door, writing down what happens,� according to the report.

In Illinois, it is legal to isolate students if they pose a safety threat to themselves or others, the report found, but the practice is used far more than in such situations. “Children were sent to isolation after refusing to do classwork, for swearing, for spilling milk, for throwing Legos. School employees use isolated timeout for convenience, out of frustration or as punishment, sometimes referring to it as ‘serving time,’� according to the report.

The report also found that while schools must document isolation instances, that documentation often goes unread, and the Illinois State Board of Education had not collected any data on the practice at the time the article was published.

The investigation prompted the Illinois School Board Education (ISBE) to initiate emergency rules banning the use of isolated seclusion in “any educational entity serving public school students in Illinois� in November. A news release at the time said ISBE would begin collecting data to “increase accountability and transparency for all instances of timeout and physical restraint.� The board proposed permanent rules in December.

The emergency changes had minimal impacts on the Calhoun district.

Calhoun High School did not have an in-school suspension room prior to the new mandate, Sievers said. “The school now has a designated room that will be utilized and meets the specifications of the law,� she said.

Two migrating eagles travel miles to meet again Rural Water r e n n u R e Ridg

By BILL HOAGLAND If you routinely read this column, you know that I have always been intrigued by how certain birds and other animals are able to migrate thousands of miles every year despite a multitude of challenges. For example, how fascinating is it that monarch butterflies from all over the United States and Canada migrate every fall to one spot, 15 acres in size, at 9,000 feet elevation in Mexico? You can’t say some of these butterflies remember the migration route from prior trips because none of these 120 million butterflies who are there now have ever been there before. Likewise, the migration stories of barn swallows and hummingbirds, which we have also discussed in these columns, are fascinating for a variety of other reasons.

Here is another migration story, but this time it includes some romance as well. It is about two adult golden eagles who met and mated in northern Manitoba this past summer, and who, at the end of summer, went their separate ways south to meet up again in Kentucky, not in a sleazy motel, but rather in the treetops of Bernheim Forest, a nature preserve near Fort Knox, Ky. By way of background, golden eagles are generally monogynous throughout their lifetimes. While the golden eagle is not known for extensive verbal communication with their mate, there is evidence that they do so when necessary (as you will see shortly). Another fact I find to be particularly interesting about the

golden eagle is that during the courting period, both males and females engage in gaudy displays of aerial maneuvers to make themselves more attractive to their prospective mate. For example, to impress the prospective female, the male will pick up a rock or stick, ascend into the sky, drop the rock or stick and then dive and catch it in mid-air.

(Sound vaguely familiar to your own attempts years ago to impress someone?)

The two subjects in this story are Harper, a male golden eagle estimated to be about 10 years old, and Athena, a female golden eagle who is somewhat younger than Harper. In 2015, Harper was temporary captured at Bernheim Forest and fitted with a GPS satellite transmitter. This device sends signals to the closest cell phone tower every 15 minutes so people tracking Harper have a detailed look at his whereabouts at all times. In early 2019, Athena was also temporarily captured at Bernheim Forest and fitted with a similar tracking device.

Both eagles left Bernheim Forest in March 2019 and flew separately to northern Manitoba for the summer, where they mated. In October, they left Manitoba and began their annual migrations south to Kentucky.

But here is where things get interesting: Despite the fact that they have a monogamous relationship, Harper and Athena flew completely different routes to Kentucky—routes that were actually hundreds of miles apart. Athena flew by herself around the east side of

C H R O N IC L E S

Lake Superior, south along the eastern shoreline of Lake Michigan, and down the length of Indiana before arriving at Bernheim Forest.

During this migration, she covered 1,689 miles. Harper, on the other hand, flew by himself south along the western shore of Lake Superior, and then across Wisconsin and central Illinois before arriving at Bernheim Forest; during his trip, he flew 1,699 miles.

Harper arrived at Bernheim Forest on Nov. 16, 2019. For the next nine days, he waited alone for Athena in the tree tops in Bernheim Forest. On Nov. 25, Athena arrived at the same roosting spot in Bernheim Forest where she had spent the previous winter. For the next 24 hours, Harper and Athena were just two miles apart without knowing it. The next day, Athena flew to within one-half mile of Harper and after waiting another hour, flew directly to Harper.

Since their respective arrivals, they apparently had been calling for each other, but it wasn’t until they were finally within a half-mile of each other that they were finally able to hear each other.

Since that time, they have been inseparable and will be until they again migrate separately to Manitoba to continue their relationship.

Note: Credit and our

thanks for the background information in this column goes to Andrew Berry, a wildlife biologist and Director of Conservation at Bernheim Forest, who, with other researchers, is trying to determine the hows and whys of this interesting migration story. Thus far, it would appear from their studies that the earth’s magnetic field, the topography of the routes being used, the length of daylight each day during the migrations and even the genetics of both Harper and Athena all play a part in the development of this unique migration pattern. If you care to learn more about Harper and Athena and get updates on what researchers are learning about Harper, Athena and the mysteries of migration, you are encouraged to look at the Bernheim Forest web site, which can be found at www.bernheim.org.

Outdoor Truths: Gary Miller

Obession can prove fruitless oftentimes in hunting, life Are you obsessed over something?

Has something gained your attention in such a way that you have made some drastic changes in order to accommodate that matter?

Deer hunters do this all the time. I was just reliving the past season with a friend. He was telling me about a place where he hunted that was for bow hunters only. One particular evening, just before dark, he saw what he called the buck of a lifetime, and it was only 60 yards from his stand.

And even though he could not get a shot at it, it caused him to almost ignore all the other bucks that came his way; and there were plenty. By the time his few days of hunting were over, he had passed up

some really big bucks because none of them were the “one” that he had seen just a few days earlier.

In the end, the cost was coming home empty-handed all because he had become obsessed with one prize so valuable that every other prize paled in comparison. He is not alone in this obsession. I know of other hunters who have marked one particular buck as their goal and have waited for two or three years in order to get it.

I also know of some who waited just as long only to find out their prize was now their neighbor’s trophy.

Some may not understand this obsession. Some do.

Everyone ought to.

Isolation

(Continued from A1) does have an in-school suspension room.

“Both Calhoun Elementary School and Calhoun High School’s in-school suspension rooms now meet the specifications outlined in the new mandate,” Sievers said. “They had to make some adjustments and utilize a specific room that meets the specifications. These rooms will be used specifically for all in-school suspensions. To clarify, these are only for in-school suspension and will only take place when the parent/guardians have been notified. They are also rooms that are supervised by licensed staff.”

At the committee hearing earlier this month, Amanda Elliott, co-director of legislative affairs at ISBE, said the emergency rules allowed ISBE to collect data on the use of seclusion and restraint in prior years. She said ISBE is reviewing the data for violations which would prompt investigations and potential disciplinary action. She said nine investigations are pending as a result.

Elliott also said sanctions resulting from violations could result in licensure suspension, professional development requirements or even criminal charges for individuals. For schools, recognition status could be affected, which would impact funding, she said.

Rep. Fred Crespo, D-Hoffman Estates, however, questioned how schools are self-reporting that data and suggested it would likely be incomplete.

Advocates at the meeting urged greater oversight from ISBE, increased train-

am reminded of the biblical story of the man who found a valuable pearl. The Bible says, when he discovered it, he sold everything he owned and bought it.

No diversification. No hedging his investment. No waiting until more favorable times. But selling it all – pushing it all in for this one pearl of great price.

What was the Lord comparing this most valuable pearl to?

The kingdom of heaven. What is the Kingdom of Heaven?

Let’s just say it is the totality of God in our lives now and the greatness of Heaven in the future. And what the Lord desires is this; that there would come a time in our lives when we finally understand the most valuable thing in our life is simply Him. And in fully

ing requirements and opportunities for school staffs, and greater resources for providing an adequate number of staff, particularly social workers.

“We hear these devastating stories and then we come here to take action and it’s the same three things that we need, though. We need training, we need oversight and we need resources to help our teachers,” said state Sen. Jennifer BertinoTarrant, a Shorewood Democrat and chair of the Senate Education Committee.

Illinois Federation of Teachers President Daniel Montgomery said “unless there is a real sea change” on how educators are trained, change will be difficult to implement. He said a simple eight-hour course would be nowhere near sufficient, and he urged “systemic, sustained” training requirements.

Other stakeholders pointed out that the isolation room practices documented in the investigation were already illegal, but there were no enforcement mechanisms in place to punish school districts for using them.

Rep. Sue Scherer, a Democrat from Decatur, said the state would have to make a “firm commitment to funding of these training programs” in order to effect change. Otherwise, without training, she said, the state is “basically throwing teachers to the wolves.”

Advocates also agreed policy changes were not aimed at “support” or “deescalation” rooms where students with sensory issues can willfully go with social workers or support staff.

Rep. Jonathan Carroll, a Northbrook Democrat, is sponsoring a bill to ban the practice of “seclusion,” which is defined as “a discipline management practice or behavior management technique in which a student is confined in an enclosed space that is designed solely to seclude a person, regardless of space or dimension, whether it is a box, a closet, a room, or any other specially designated locked or unlocked space.”

He said the matter was personal to him, as he said he was physically restrained and placed in such a room as a child.

“It was horrible that we treat children with special needs the same way we treat our most hardened criminals, and this is something that needs to stop now, and this is something that we have to stop both as a legislative body and as a state,” he said.

Sievers weighed in on the issue, noting the new rules and mandates had both positive and negative impacts.

“It has brought light to some schools that may have been not utilizing timeouts and restraints in a proper way and harming students and obviously that is never okay to do,” she said. “For schools like Calhoun that have been utilizing a different way to conduct in-school suspensions and it has worked for many years; it puts more of a financial burden on the district to now adhere to another code and unfunded mandate.”

(Continued from A1) Sievers said funds from the School Maintenance Project Grant through the Illinois State Board of Education (ISBE) would be used to renovate the locker rooms.

Sievers has met with the district architect about this grant. This is a matching grant where ISBE and the district have to match funds.

For example, if one applies for a $100,000 grant, both ISBE and Calhoun CUSD #40 would have to each pay $50,000 to cover the grant.

To cover the district’s obligation, a combination of Heath Life Safety and County Facility Sales Tax money would be used. This work would not be completed until the FY21 school year.

Also at the meeting: Q The connection with Illinois Rural Fiber is completed. They currently are getting 500 mbps up and down for $300 monthly.They have had good luck so far, Sievers said. The installation of the fiber optics in the district started in November but

had been a project years in the making with the Illinois Electric Cooperative leading the charge. The Cooperative has been dedicated, since its founding in 1936, to bringing electric services to the rural counties of Illinois.

Q The high school will be getting new doors. To comply with the 10-Year Health, Life, Safety Survey from ISBE, there will be a door project completed next summer-2020 to replace all of the interior doors at CHS. All of the doors to be replaced have exceeded their lifetime.

Q Board members approved an option for the FFA Land Lab. Each year, the FFA asks the Board to approve either a flat fee for cash rent for $100/acre (nine acres) of the land they farm west of the Calhoun Elementary School or 20 percent of proceeds. Sievers said the district has always selected the latter option.

This serves as an opportunity for the students to learn and is not so much of a money maker for the district.

Snow Ball (Continued from A1) some prom-esque fun — this time without all of the restrictions associated with being a teen in high school.

“As an adult past our high school prom years, there aren’t many opportunities to get dressed up with our friends and significant others,” Adams said. “Maybe you had a bad prom experience, and you wish for a “doover.” Or, it was such a great time and you are ready to do it all again.

“Either way, we hope to have a great turn out where guests can make some new prom memories, all the while supporting our school, this time without the curfew.”

All proceeds will be going back to the students of Calhoun Elementary/Jr. High via field trips, technology and other activities provided by our PTO, Adams said.

That night, in the spirit of a traditional prom, a king and queen will be crowned.

“Guests will be able to vote for a prom king and queen for $1 per vote,” Adams said. “In addition to all of this, there will be several silent auction items available as well as a card

raffle to be drawn later in the evening.”

She noted the Snow Ball was not limited to parents or families of Calhoun Elementary, and that everyone over the age of 21 is welcome. Alcohol and drinks will be available that night during the event. Tickets are $20 per person or $25 at the door that evening.

“Because this is the first event of it’s kind in our area, we aren’t sure how many guests we will have this year,” Adams said. “Right now, we have sold around 50 tickets, but I believe most will purchase at the door.”

Despite the prom-like setting, Adams said formal attire isn’t a requirement.

However, she urged those participating to “have fun with this.”

“Some guests have already made their hair appointments and have their gowns ready, where others have said they will be dressing much more casual,” Adams said. “It really is an event where you can dress however you please.

Ultimately, we want our guests to have fun and enjoy an evening with friends for a great cause.”

What’s Happening

25 Years Ago January 25, 1995 Elementary and Junior High Principal Mike Roth reported on Good News happenings within the two schools during the month of January.

Lisa Kallal’s second grade class is studying sound waves, how sound travels, the structure of waves, and different substances that waves travel through.

Martha Carmody’s third grade class is studying Native American Culture and Heritage. One activity was a craft activity making “God’s Eyes”, an Indian symbol for prosperity and good luck.

Jean Roth conducted the schoolwide Spelling Bee at the Junior High.

Meghan Parish was the winner and will represent he Junior High on February 11 at 10 a.m. at Jerseyville High School in the District Spelling Bee. The public is invited to attend.

Kathy Schell’s third grade class conducted an auction for gifts beore Christmas. Instead of the usual gift exchange, students could earn play money for reading books. Parents brought in gifts and students bid on them with money earned. The top student wrote 28 book reports.

Deann Fester’s second grade class is completing a unit on fluid metic measurements and how to change English measurements of liquids to the metric system.

50 Years Ago January 22, 1970 The Calhoun County Christmas Seal Committee is sponsoring a free tuberculin testing program in cooperation with the county Medical Society, Illinois Public Health Department and Calhoun County School Districts.

All school employees, first, fifth, and ninth grades of school will be given a jet injector tuberculin test,

Monday, Janary 26. The results will be read Thursday, January 29. Consent cards will be sent home for parents permission and must be returned before the testing date. Anyone who is a positive reactor to the test should not participate in this program and will be given a chest x-ray Wednesday, February 18, at which time the mobile x-ray unit will be at the Calhoun High School, Hardin, from 2:00 to 4:30 p.m.

A technician from the Public Health Department, Springfield; school nurses, volunteers, and the TB Association executive director will be giving he test at the following locations and time. As can be noted it is a very close schedule for one day and it is advised to be at the site of testing ahead of time given. School employees are expected to take the test in their school.

Barbers and Nursing Home employees are invited to receive their free test at any of the locations listed, thus meeting the qualifications needed for their license.

75 Years Ago January 25, 1945 Plans were made Friday night at a meeting of the local infantile paralysis foundation committee to begin the March of Dimes in Calhoun county for this year.

Mrs. Della Suter of Kampsville is chairman of the local foundation, and she reports that there were three cases of infantile paralysis in Calhoun county last year, and that the money collected from the March of Dimes in 1944 was used in treating these cases. this amount was insufficient, and the National Foundation in Washington provided money for the local foundation to use on these three cases.

The plan to raise the money this year will be personally to solicit con-

tributions. The churches will also be asked to set aside a Sunday and donate their offering for that Sunday to the local foundation.

This is a good cause. Give all you can because every bit is needed to combat this dreaded disease.

100 Years Ago January 22, 1920 Wm. A. Buchanan, of Hamburg, closed a deal here Monday for the D.A. Mills place, a mile and a half northwest of town. There are 135 1/2 acres in the farm and the price paid was $8,700. the farm formerly belonged to J.V. Whitesides and is occupied by Fred Wilkinson. Mr. Buchanan gets possession of the first of March at which time he expects to move his family here and take active charge of the place the farm is especially adapted to fruit growing and Mr. Buchanan informs us that he will put out 2,000 apple trees this spring in addition to the several hundred now on the place. In all probability an additional forty acres will be planted to apple trees in the spring of 1921 and this will be kept up until the entire farm is converted into a fruit orchard, similar to those of our neighbor county across the river in Illinois. Mr. Buchanan is the second Calhoun orchardist to invest in a farm near Elsberry within the past month, Jacob Emerick having purchased the A.J. Crank farm three or four weeks ago. Both will be converted into fruit orchards, and we are reliably informed that other successful apple growers in Calhoun county contemplate buying in the immediate vicinity of Elsberry for the purpose of engaging extensively in the appleraising business. We gladly welcome these thrifty citizens to our midst and hope they will be instrumental in making Lincoln county one of the best apple producers in the state.

Justification

by Faith Rull Brothers Hardin, IL

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

“Everything is possible for one who believes…I do believe; help me overcome my unbelief!”

Mark 9:23 NIV

O

ne of the major themes of the Bible is justification by faith.

Early in the Hebrew Bible we read that Abraham “believed the Lord, and he credited it to him as righteousness.” (Genesis 15:6 NIV) Abraham believed the incredible things that God told him, for instance, that he and his wife Sarah would have a child when he was almost a hundred and she was ninety years old. And when God asked Abraham to sacrifice Isaac, this child of their old age, Abraham proceeded to perform the sacrifice, only to be stopped by God at the last moment. In the New Testament, the lesson of justification by faith is made explicit, and we are told that we cannot be saved by our good works, for all of us fall short, and sin repeatedly. Jesus dying on the cross is a divine reenactment of the sacrifice of Isaac, but without the last-minute reprieve. The parallels between Jesus’s death and the sacrifice of Isaac are unmistakable, the main difference being that Jesus’s sacrifice is carried out. Christians are called to have faith in that saving

sacrifice, and this can be a hard thing to do. Many just can’t bring themselves to believe, and then what? Should those who can’t bring themselves to believe the Gospel despair? No, but perhaps they should pray for help with their unbelief. Just as we aren’t saved by our works, we can’t force ourselves to believe something we simply cannot believe. To believe, or not believe, is a kind of action, an act of assent, as it were, and it can’t be forced. Believe, if you can, and if you can’t, pray that your unbelief might be healed.

NEWS/CORRESPONDENCE/SOCIAL

Flu declared widespread in Illinois

By JARAD JARMON Calhoun News-Herald Flu season is well under way with reports of influenza-like illnesses increasing across the state, but locally it appears it is less of an issue — something local officials say could partly be because of the work to vaccinate those in the community.

Kayla Moser, a registered nurse and head of the Home Health program at the Calhoun County Health Department, said it has not been an issue this season in the county.

“So far so good,” Moser said.

Moser noted the department has been proactive in administering flu shots in the county. This is the second year for their Boo to the Flu, which got a lot of kids and their parents vaccinated.

Also, this was the first year they did a drive-thru flu clinic.

These programs as well as the regular walkin flu clinic at the health department played a role in bolstering the number of the shot they administered this year. As of Friday, Jan. 10, that number was at 537. Moser said last year the number was in the 400s.

Moser said the growing number of vaccinations might have played a part, even if it was a

small one, in preventing a local spread of the flu or at least diminished the symptoms of the flu in area.

“It is probably covering (the community) and decreasing the symptoms if they do get it,” Moser said.

Jersey County Health Department communicable disease coordinator Heidi Carter confirmed that Illinois’ flu status had been upgraded to “widespread” according to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC).

According to data published by the CDC, Illinois has reported more cases of influenza-like illnesses than in the past six seasons with the exception of the 2017-18 flu season.

Influenza, or the flu, is a contagious respiratory illness with symptoms ranging in severity that can even result in death. Symptoms include fever, chills, coughing, sore throat, runny or stuffy nose, body aches, headaches and fatigue.

Other symptoms such as vomiting or upset stomach are often misidentified, Carter said.

“There’s a misnomer of stomach flu,” she said. “That’s gastro-intestinal.”

The flu, being a respiratory illness, has two strains which can be contracted by humans: Influenza A and Influenza B. This year, Carter said, the Influenza B strain has been more

prevalent.

“It typically is the A strain, but the B strain has been making more of an appearance,” she said.

However, she continued, this does not mean that Influenza A will not make an appearance.

While the CDC reports there have been no flu-related fatalities in Illinois so far, there have been 73 intensive-care hospitalizations.

Carter emphasized the importance of flu prevention in helping to stop the spread of flu.

“First and foremost, everyone should get a flu shot,” she said. “That’s your first line of defense.”

By receiving a flu shot, individuals not only reduce their own risk of contracting the flu, but also help prevent the spread to individuals who may have weaker immune systems such as those that are young, pregnant or elderly.

“Anyone can get the flu, even healthy people,” Carter said.

Most health providers provide flu shots for free. However, even for those without insurance, free flu shots are still available. The walk-in flu clinic at the Calhoun Health Department runs Monday, Wednesday and Thursday from 1-3:30 p.m.

“Everybody six months and older can get a

flu vaccine,” Carter said. “Usually nobody walks out (of the Health Department) paying for a flu vaccine.”

Receiving a vaccine does not guarantee that an individual will not contract the flu, and it takes about two weeks after vaccination before the body develops the necessary antibodies.

However, it has been shown, according to the CDC, to reduce the severity of the flu even in these cases. By receiving a vaccination, even later in the season, one can reduce their own likelihood of contracting the flu and help prevent those more at risk from contracting it, as well.

Every year, a new vaccine is developed specifically to target the strains thought to have the greatest impact during that season. This is why it is recommended that one receives a flu shot every year beginning in October, before the peak of flu season.

Nonetheless, this prevention doesn’t stop with receiving a flu vaccine.

Washing hands, disinfecting frequently used surfaces and covering one’s mouth and nose when sneezing or coughing can help stop the spread of germs. In addition, if possible, avoid those with the flu or those with symptoms, even if they do not appear sick.

Soaring high in STEM Seventh-grade STEM students in the Calhoun school district tested experiments with balloons while studying a unit on flight and space. They were investigating dfferent ways to make items fly. This project was testing different air temperatures to see if the height of the hot air balloon would rise differently using different temperatures. For variation, students used different air popcorn poppers. If the students’ balloon flight was not as successful as they had hoped; they could make adjustments using the same materials they constructed the balloon with. All students were given the same materials. The next area of study for this group of students will be gliders. Students from left to right are: Grace Sagez, Ava Clowers, and Braden Pohlman.
