HARDIN, ILLINOIS 62047

JANUARY 6, 2021

VOLUME 148 - ISSUE 1

2020: A year in review – Part 1 By CONNOR ASHLOCK Calhoun News-Herald For everything that’s happened this year, 2020 sure has flown by. Though not a whole lot was able to happen this year, when it’s all said and done, it has been a most interesting year. Folks are hoping, though, that 2021 promises something different than its predecessor. Below, the News-Herald has picked out some of the stories that made their way into the paper last year. This week, stories from January through June will be featured. Next week, stories from July through December will be published. January Calhoun district makes financial moves vital for repairs to schools: Calhoun Unit 40 prepares for two large repair projects at Calhoun High School to mitigate exposure to lead and asbestos. This came after minor flooding occurred at the school, caused by an overflowing toilet, which damaged floor tiles in the hallway and raised concerns over asbestos. The issue regarding lead was detected when several areas of the school had lead amounts at or above five parts per billion. New deputy joins Calhoun force: Deputy Zach Hardin was sworn in by the Honorable Judge Charles HW Burch Dec. 27. Deputy Hardin will begin his police academy training in early January and will graduate in April 2020. Hardin is said to be very excited to be in the county and is looking forward to becoming part of the community and serving the citizens as best he can. Hardin to reach out about potential water sale: The Village of Hardin is interested in selling their water and wastewater systems based on actions made at the latest Hardin Village Board meeting. The village board made a motion at their meeting, Wednesday, Jan. 8, to reach out to the Illinois American Water Company about potentially buying the village’s water, according to Village Clerk Danielle Hurley. Such sales have spawned criticism in other communities with some

worried or concerned water rates will jump or at least jump beyond what would be the case if the city or village retained control over the rates. Snow Ball to be ‘adult prom’ for Calhoun: Adults in the community will be able to relive their prom- at least in essence- in the first Snow Ball. Organized by the Calhoun Elementary PTO, the prom-like event will take place on Saturday, Jan. 25 at the KC Hall in Hardin and will be for those age 21 and older. “As an adult past our high school prom years, there aren’t many opportunities to get dressed up with our friends and significant others,� Tara Adams, an event organizer, said. “...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.� New breadth of students instills hope for Calhoun EMS: Despite the county’s dependence on the service, Calhoun Ambulance Coordinator Wanda Blackwell said staffing the service is a growing concern as things change in the county, such as the population that makes up the county. Classes are required to be a volunteer emergency medical technician (EMT) with the county. Blackwell said they try to run a class a year to bring on more people who can potentially take on the service. This time around, eight have chosen to participate with intentions of volunteering their time to the program. February Brussels Girl Scouts dance to harken back to 50’s: It will be poodle skirts galore at the Brussels Girl Scouts Me and My Guy Dance this year. Once called the Father-Daughter dance, the event formerly brought together girls from the community and their fathers to dance the night away. Now however the event centers on offering a chance for a girl to bring their father, brother, uncle or any other special guy in her life. This year, the event will be hosted from 6:15-9:30 p.m. Feb. 7 at the Brussels American Legion Hall. Winter Formal envisioned as high-

light for middle-schoolers: When Danielle Hurley’s nephew told her he would be attending a winter formal, visions of hoop skirts in Hardin and boleros in Brussels started dancing across her mind. Now, plans are set to have a winter formal for all of the seventh and eighth-graders in the county. Hurley said she wanted “something for the junior high kids to look forward to.� She hopes to get the entire community involved and hopes the inaugural debut of this middle school dance is embraced. CHS’s plan to move off Hardin water underway: The city and the school district are in the early stages of transitioning Calhoun High School’s water off of the City of Hardin’s water systems. It had been previously reported that the school district was looking to put the high school on to Calhoun Rural Water (CRW) systems following disruptive water main breaks. The high school has been affected by four water main breaks this school year, Calhoun Superintendent Kate Sievers said. Swimming pool, roadwork items of discussion at county board meeting: At the Calhoun Commissioners meeting Feb. 18, Dick Lieber, Bob Ellis, and Dwayne and Kate Sievers addressed the board concerning the future of the community swimming pool. Lieber mentioned issues concerning the pool, including a severe leak that is possibly structural, limited parking and a lack of accessibility, especially during flood season. The Calhoun Community Swimming Pool Association’s vision is a new swimming pool out of the floodplain that could hopefully be a part of a parks and recreation district. March Floods anticipated, but not as bad as last year: Gene Breden, emergency services coordinator for the county and floodplain coordinator for the Village of Hardin, recently received a briefing from the National Weather Service (NWS) concerning the upcoming flood season. “The briefing on flood possibilities

was very vague and did not draw any definite conclusions,� Breden said. “All they’re saying is that there’s a good possibility there’s going to be a flood, but a small chance that it’s going to be as bad as last year’s.� Though a flood as rare as last year’s is not anticipated, Breden reminds that there is no sure way of determining expected flood levels. Peter Pan to fly his way to Calhoun County: Characters will be flying up off the stage, both literally and figuratively, in the Calhoun Entertainment Company production of “Peter Pan� later this March, marking a first for the Calhoun-based musical company. Director Jerry Sievers said past productions have had a form of flying before, but this year’s production will have some of their characters flying in a way that has not been done in the 30 productions before it. Calhoun is prepared: Elections, services, businesses, schools affected by COVID-19: At the local and state level, measures are being put into place to restrict the spread of COVID-19, colloquially referred to as the Coronavirus. And progressively, these measures are reaching almost every aspect of the county- from the restaurants to the schools to court proceedings. Sandy Teichmann said the health department has been monitoring the virus, taking part in statewide conference calls updating officials on the status of the spread. “While it is extremely disappointing that many events are being canceled, it is important to understand why this is happening. Social distancing, along with good handwashing, are two of the most important things you can do to avoid becoming ill. It is a good idea, then, to avoid large groups of people. We are still trying to contain the spread of the virus. If we can slow the pace of it, so that everyone doesn’t become ill at once, then we are avoiding the very real possibility of our healthcare system becoming overwhelmed,� Teichmann said.

Teichmann first in county to get vaccine By JARAD JARMON Calhoun News-Herald

I

t is safe to say Sandy Teichmann, Calhoun Health Department administrator, was elated Monday, Dec. 28. Vaccine doses had come into the county — 100 to be exact — and Teichmann was fortunate to not only get the vaccine, but be the first in the county to do so. “It is way cool,� Teichmann said. “I am nothing but excited, I will be honest with you.� Although a cool thought for the historically minded, Teichmann indicated she was more excited to get the vaccine as soon as she could for reasons other than posterity. “I have looked forward to this because I have health problems, and obviously I am exposed working at the health department,� Teichmann said. “I have taken every precaution. I have been very careful, but everyone has been careful, and they still get sick. I have been nervous about getting it (COVID), so I have looked forward to this day.� Beyond her insistence to get it, she was simply a good first

candidate for the vaccine. “I am very high risk,â€? she said. Teichmann was the first of what would be 20 medical staff and first responders last week that received the Moderna COVID19 vaccine in the county. Leading up to the day, Teichmann said she was nothing but excited. She did her research, she asked her questions. And when it was time that needle went into her arm, she was confident in the vaccine. “I didn’t have the doubts a lot of people had,â€? Teichmann said. Following the vaccination, people are asked to stay for 15 minutes for monitoring, ensuring the person is not experiencing adverse reactions such as an allergic one. They are then given an informational card about the vaccine and when they should get the second dose of the vaccine. As far as side-effects, Teichmann noted she experienced soreness in her arm that night following her vaccination. “Other than that, I was fine,â€? she said. â€œâ€Ś I didn’t get sick. Nothing bad happened to me. I did not grow hornsâ€?

:KDW WR NQRZ DERXW 0RGHUQD YDFFLQH By JARAD JARMON Calhoun News-Herald As might be the case for any new vaccine on the market, the new vaccines for COVID-19 have drummed up a lot of questions from people about the safety of such a vaccine, its success and what might be in it among a host of other questions. Although it will be some time before the vaccine reaches the general populace, here are a couple of those questions and answers using information released December 2020 from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and Centers for Disease Control (CDC) website in regard to the Moderna COVID vaccine, which the Calhoun Health Department received. 4 :+$7 ,6 7+( 02' (51$ &29,' 9$&&,1(" (See, MODERNA, A4)

By CONNOR ASHLOCK Calhoun News-Herald Grant writing is something that affects every single citizen in Calhoun County in different ways, which is why it will remain on the radar of the new term of Calhoun County Commissioners. Until last October, Karen Hanneken provided her services to the county as a grant writer. Now, she still continues to provide assistance to applicants of the Downstate Small Business Stabilization grant, but that is as far as it goes. Still, there are other grants out there that could help out Calhoun County, and the com-

missioners want to know about them. So much so that at the last commissioners meeting, discussion of bringing on a new grant writer to fill Hanneken’s position was a big topic of discussion. It was made a point at the meeting that the county should pursue someone who would not only do the paperwork that comes with grant applications, but will also conduct research to hunt down grants that could benefit the county. As it stands from Chairman Terry Woelfel’s perspective, grants are imperative to the county’s future success. (See, GRANTS, A2)

Here’s Looking Back at Christmas 2020 By BILL HOAGLAND I wrote a column a few weeks ago stating that despite the pandemic and warnings that we should not congregate beyond our “pod” on Christmas Day, Annie was determined to go ahead with a Christmas celebration with the entire family, “pod” violations notwithstanding. The only difference this time was that we would do it “outside.” Yes, the plan was to put a decorated Christmas tree on a trailer, surround it with presents and push it into Annie’s horse barn where our entire family could gather and celebrate at least a portion of what we traditionally do on Christmas regardless of the weather. To deal with the cold, we had a small heater, but we thought that if things really got cold, we could bring the horses back into the barn and their body heat would bring the temperature in the barn above freezing. As it turned out, it was much colder than predicted. At 7 a.m., it was 5 degrees above zero at the barn and that was without regard to the wind chill, which was considerable. After Annie

pushed the horses out — and they were not keen about going out — we pulled the trailer containing the tree and presents into the barn (the picture that accompanies this article). At 11 a.m, when we gathered in the barn to celebrate, looking like a herd of Pillsbury Dough Boys, the temperature in the barn was 12 degrees and that is without the benefit of “horse heat” — Annie had already decided not to bring the horses in after all. She felt we would be more in the Christmas mood if we could open presents without “horse sounds” accentuating every “thank you.” Well, we pulled it off. No one got frost-bite, no one wound up with a broken tooth eating the frozen cookies, and the dogs did not chase the cats up the Christmas tree. I’ve had a few people ask if it was worth the effort. The short answer is “yes.” All of this might seem goofy but if we don’t make an attempt to preserve some Christmas traditions, we may someday wind up with none. ––––––––––––––––––– Q Bill Hoagland has prac-

Review

(Continued from A1) County schools continue to provide meals for kids: When all the schools in the state started shutting down, people quickly realized that there were students who relied on those meals that they were receiving in school. So, folks working in all the schools banded together to make sure that no one goes without in this season of difficulty. “The community response has been unbelievable. It takes many people to make something like this happen,” Kate Sievers, Calhoun Unit 40 superintendent, said. “Many Calhoun Unit 40 employees have been working in various capacities to make sure food is being sent out daily. We have cooks, custodians, bus drivers, teachers, support staff and administrators that have all donated their time to help in this effort.” The same can be said for those in Brussels. Superintendent Mark Martin said the cafeteria workers along with other staff including school board members have been preparing meals for the week to students in the area. “It is important to us to provide so that we know they are OK,” Martin said. April Fundraising efforts underway for new football bleachers: Sophie Lorton, along with her mom, Kerry Lorton, are organizing an “Egg My House” fundraiser, where interested persons can pay to have someone else’s yard bombarded with candyfilled eggs in time for Easter. Recently, she joined in efforts to purchase new bleachers for the football field at the Calhoun High School. “I went to the high school and played sports there. While in school, I traveled to other sports fields at different schools and saw what they had and it made me want that for my home too,” Lorton said. With Easter rapidly approaching, to Sophie, the time seemed right to put a plan into action. “The Egg My House fundraiser is designed to get the younger crowd involved in raising money for the bleachers, but it’s received interest across all ages, which is awesome,” Lorton said. Lorton earns State FFA Degree: Representing the third generation of his family to don the respected blue corduroy jacket, the 17-year-old junior at Calhoun high School has recently earned his State FFA Degree and is set to receive his certificate when he attends the annual Illinois FFA Convention in Springfield later this year. Throughout his high school career, Lorton, who serves as the Section 13 treasurer as well as co-vice president of his chapter, had to complete 750 hours of community service as well as productively accumulate $1,500 in order to be eligible for the degree. To meet these requirements, he volunteered at the Warrior Food Bank while also working at Aerie’s Winery in Grafton. St. Norbert’s School donates crafts, toilet paper to community: Nedra Gress, a regular substitute and volunteer at St. Norbert’s School, has frequently bought craft projects for students to do ahead of a holiday, each and every holiday for over a decade. But for Holy Week, Gress and those at the school knew that was not an option

ticed 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. His wife, Annie,

this year. Since Gress already had the crafts at the time, her daughter and a St. Norbert’s teacher, Racheal Friedel, had a suggestion to donate them. With a swift OK from leaders at the St. Norbert’s School, supplies for the crafts, with the exception of scissors and glue, and instructions if needed, were put into individual bags and left outside in a tub at the front entrance of St. Norbert’s School for people to take from. Along with the crafts, those at the school left rolls of toilet paper for individuals in the community to take. Toilet paper has been one of several items that have been tough to find in stores since the pandemic became a real issue in the country. Hardin Council OKs stimulus funds for local businesses: The Hardin Village Council has recently approved a stimulus fund of $30,000 for local businesses. The stimulus fund, using village sales tax and gaming tax monies, is a locally made fund to support Hardin businesses. Money from the fund can be used by nonessential businesses over the next 60 days to cover items such as rent, loan payments, insurance, etc. The stimulus package would offer $3,000 to interest businesses that qualify. Sievers to hang up hat as Calhoun superintendent: She has spent 20 years working in the Calhoun Unit 40 School District, seven of which were spent acting as the district’s superintendent, but she is not ready to move onto the next chapter of her career- a chapter she said she has most looked forward to while in education. Kate Sievers has decided to resign as superintendent to serve as the curriculum director at Jersey Community Unit 100 School District. Although her career will move her work into Jersey County, Sievers will still live in Calhoun. May County works to equip residents with face masks: Since COVID-19 first became an issue in the county, individuals from Golden Eagle to Kampsville have been sewing and forming homemade cloth masks to provide some protection to those in the county. Recently, the Calhoun Health Department has jumped in and started taking a more active role in equipping the local populace with masks of both the homemade and surgical variety. Locals hang signs to honor Class of 2020: On April 17, Gov. JB Pritzker announced schools would remain closed for the remainder of the school year, meaning the many traditions associated with students’ last days as seniors have been stripped from them. However, Bonnie Snyders, a local photographer, was determined to make sure the end of their year went out on a high note. Snyders, with her son, Jake, Peggy Hall, Stacy Baalman and Sydney Baalman all hung pictures of the Calhoun and Brussels seniors across the county- ensuring their last year was recognized in some way. Commissioners OK funds for ambulance service: Wanda Blackwell and Tony Franke were present via teleconference call when the motion was made and carried for $4,907 to be allocated to the volunteer ambulance service. The funds were a one-time

contribution to the organization from the public safety tax fund. The money was granted in order to keep the service operable at this time, as necessary expenses keep mounting when few economic resources exist. The three ambulances that operate in the north, central and southern sectors of the county are inspected by the Illinois Department of Public Health and cannot operate if they don’t meet the standards of the agency. Without the local service, Calhoun residents would have to rely on services from the surrounding counties. Sheriff hopeful of headway tackling meth issue: The Calhoun County Sheriff’s Office, along with other law enforcement agencies, have been aggressive in their fight against methamphetamine. In the past month, the law enforcement in the county has come across what is believed to be meth in several investigations and traffic stops. Heffington is hopeful this will have an impact on the presence of the drug in the county. June Can drive to benefit football renovations a success: A can drive geared toward supporting football renovations at Calhoun Unit 40 that concluded May 22 was deemed a successful effort. Scott Moore, can drive orga-nizer, said in 24 hours of the weeklong fundraiser two big boxes were filled. By the end of it, nearly five boxes were filled to the top. Approximately 7,620 pounds of aluminum cans were collect-ed, equaling $3,048 that will go toward the football field renova-tion. Moore said it exceeded what he expected. Local census work goes doorto-door: Those with the US Census Bureau have recently announced they will resume some of their field operations, which will include census workers delivering paper questionnaires to households that normally pick up their mail at post office boxes. Field operations, initially planned earlier this year, were delayed because of the orders regarding COVID-19. Now, restrictions have softened and ground work has started. Those with the census will be able to go door-to-door to those that have not responded. Village of Hardin gets ready for new roommates: The Village of Hardin staff has been hard at work transitioning the village administrative building for its new roommates, the Jersey Community Hospital Clinic; and they are getting closer and closer to finishing up their work. Kevin Goss, Jersey Community Hospital Vice President, said there are still question marks that could change the timeline, but the goal is for the clinic to move into the building by the end of July with similar hours to current hours at the clinic in hardin today. Blueridge Farms growers bring market to four-way: In recent weeks, residents crossing the four-way in Hardin might have noticed construction next to the Hardin Senior Citizens Center, and now that work has finally come to fruition- for the most part. Work is still being done to finish up the structure, but Blueridge Farms in Hardin has opened up their openair produce one-stop shop, 4-square market.

OPINION/SCHOOL

Grants

(Continued from A1) “We’ve had so many cutbacks in funding, especially in education, it’s where we have to apply for them,” Woelfel said. “And it’s just not us. It’s every county. We don’t have the businesses and industries that we used to have.” Woelfel also believes that grants provide for the possibility of bringing new people to the county while holding on to Calhoun’s younger citizens. “I think [grant writing] opens up a new world for us as far as being able to do some of the things we can’t do now, and I think it’s going to make us a better place to live to attract people to want to live here,” Woelfel said. Grants have already been playing an important role in the Calhoun Kingdom, with many being employed throughout the course of the pandemic by businesses. Additionally, organizations like the Calhoun County Health Department, Calhoun County Sheriff’s Department and others have been utilizing grants for quite some time now to assist in improving their operations. Aside from these organizations, the Calhoun Commission also enjoys the benefits that come from grant funds and the opportunities they hold. Recently, grant funds have been used to improve the Marvin Richter Building, which houses a significant portion of Calhoun’s government. “The latest thing that has happened was we got a grant to put a new roof on the community center,” Woelfel said. “The health department just got a big grant recently that opens up their accessibility to do things they couldn’t do before. Sandy Teichmann is doing a fantastic job. She got a grant to remodel the old sheriff’s office into a training center, and now it’s being used as COVID central. It was a Godsend that we got that building.” The commissioners, aside from seeking out grants to help improve the county in other ways, are still working on improving the Marvin Richter Building and hope that grants will be able to help them along. “We want to get our community center finished and the upstairs of the courthouse

finished,” Woelfel said. “The upstairs is going to house the new courtroom, judge’s chambers, state’s attorney’s office and circuit clerk’s office. And the first thing we have to do is get an elevator on the back of the building.” Indeed, there’s a lot of dreaming going on around the county, and thus that means a lot of hard work to make it happen. Grant writing has proven to be just one avenue by which Calhoun County can prepare for the future that it wants to leave to the upcoming generations of young people who will choose to make the county their home. But, the work will be daunting. Calhoun’s population continues to decrease and resources continue to become more strained. Flooding, of course, poses its own issues, but at least those are expected. A global pandemic that would result in mandated closures of local businesses was not something that people expected coming into 2020. Aside from COVID and flooding, there are other kinks to be worked out, especially in Calhoun’s infrastructure in areas such as internet and road work, but if anything is to be done, the money has to be there to pay for it. With a shrinking tax base and limited support from state and federal agencies, Calhoun is making its own way toward building a better future for itself to keep families living in the area, attract new citizens and supporting local small businesses that keep Calhoun going. “We want to keep existing businesses. We don’t want them to leave, we want them to stay right here,” Woelfel said. There is a concern that several avenues of grant funding will dry up at the state level as a result of Gov. JB Pritzker’s budget cuts, which is why an individual who will not only write for grants but hunt them down will be a treasured asset for the county. The commissioners hope to have someone to replace Hanneken very soon, but for the time being, their focus is to get the county beyond the hold of COVID before focusing on different ways to improve the county.

Well the new year has started out pretty quiet here in Kampsville, except for the weather. The ice on the trees in the hills looks absolutely beautiful. The state and county workers did a great job on New Years Eve. Working all night keeping those roads treated and cleaned. The eagles are definitely back in Kampsville. You can usually spot them all along the trees by the river and by the ferry. There were about six of them on Sunday. Congratulations to Ryan and Amanda Bland and big sister Riley on the arrival of their newest addition. Madelyn Avery arrived

Dec. 29, weighing 7 lbs and 9 oz. Tony Zirkelbach celebrated his 60th birthday in December. He was treated to a fun day at Top Golf by his kids, Haley, Levi, Junie and Stone. Unfortunately, his daughter, Rayna, had to work and didn’t get to enjoy it with them. His brother, Terry Zirkelbach, joined them also. Ted Hayn also celebrated a big birthday this past week. He turned 80! His family treated him to a party. Happy 21st anniversary to Brian and Mandy Eickmeyer on Dec. 31. Ralph Becker is making some improvement in

his battle with COVID. They are small steps but still improvements. Those prayers are working so please keep them coming for him. Hopefully, he will be back shooting pool at the Legion on Friday nights at the Queen of Hearts, and we all start to go back to normal. Continue prayers for all affected by COVID as well as Mark Baalman, Mark Bowers, Mary Jo Kress, Raymond Sievers, Ralph Becker, Joyce Blumenberg, Linda Herkert, Mathias Baker, Kurt Roth, Joe Gress, Jim Hill, Bill Schumann, Eileen Gardner, Chasity Wickenhauser and Cathy Taul.

Now that the Christmas and New Year holidays are over it is a bit of a let down. Seems we get so lost in the decorating, shopping, baking, gift wrapping, etc. – that we almost forget what Christmas is all about. It is such a blessing that we live in a free country and are able to worship where we choose. I know those that attended Christmas Eve or Christmas Day services came away with a feeling of peace in our hearts and a renewed strength for the days ahead. I pray your holidays were blessed as well. Larry and Marcia Hattemar entertained their family on Christmas Day with a delicious dinner and afternoon together. Present were Ed and Laurie Lehr of Godfrey, Alan and Kathy Friedel of Golden Eagle and Tyler and Adrianna Friedel of Maryville. Sounds like they had a wonderful day together. Dennis and Kim Droege entertained their family on Christmas Day with a delicious prime rib dinner with all the trimmings. Present were Nick and Kayla Turner, Logan and Ainsley of Jerseyville, Kenny Droege and daughter Brooklyn and Karen Curry of Alton. So nice to be able to have small gatherings for the holidays. George and Yvonne Baecht entertained a small group on New Years Eve. Keith and Becky Baecht, Matthew and Samuel of Jerseyville and a few close neighbors enjoyed great food and fellowship with them throughout the evening. On Saturday, Jan. 2, my family was finally able to get together at St. Matthew Hall for dinner and afternoon together. Many I had not seen since August, so it was a wonderful day. We had plenty of room to social distance and each family was sitting at their own table. Gifts were exchanged, followed by various desserts and coffee. Present were Dennis and Shelly Scherer of Wright City, Mo., Cyndia Axford and Mackenzie of Chesterfield, John and Julie Carnes, Lydia and Caleb of Edwardsville, Ashley Keppler, Noah and Addy of Wentzville and friend Ben Ketherside, Daniel, Brittney Holdinghausen and Sam of Festus, Mo. Absent were Trevor and Madison Axford, who both had to work that day and Hannah Carnes who resides in Philadelphia, Penn. Many thanks to everyone who brought additional food items, helped before and after the dinner and also for the many wonderful and useful gifts I received.

“Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland.” Isaiah 43:18-19 NIV

“L

et us not go over the old ground but rather prepare for what is to come.” -

Cicero January is named after the twofaced Roman god Janus (one facing forward and one backward), suggesting we should simultaneously look backwards and forwards at the start of the new year. But sometimes it is best to just look forward and forget about the past. We can’t change it, and sometimes the best that we can say about the past is that it is over. As we look forward to the new year, learn from the past but leave it behind. Being forward-looking allows us to lean into our plans for the new year. Think about your goals for this year and what you can do to make them happen. Some of these goals

Saturday, Jan. 2, the Caselton family enjoyed the day at the home of Craig and Tracy Huelsman in Golden Eagle. Present were Paulette Hartman, Carole and Phil Seiferman, Melinda and Kevin Wieneke and Joe and Becky Caselton and all their families. Absent because of work was Jim Caselton. This was the first time in many years that all eleven Caselton cousins were together. Namely; Ann Kirn, Brian Hartman, Carla Hartman, Tracy Huelsman, Denise Rose, Melissa Tepen, Ashley Kiel, Riley Caselton, Mason Caselton Avery Caselton and Ben Seiferman and their families. Sounds like they had a wonderful dinner, and afternoon of card playing, visiting, etc. Barb Ward of Taylorville enjoyed New Years Eve with Jim and Sharon Held in Alton. On Wednesday, she drove to Brussels to spend the following five days with her mother, Marie Held, returning home on Sunday afternoon. I know her mother enjoyed her company so much. Marie received so many beautiful flower arrangements, baked goods, candy, etc. over the holidays for which she wishes to thank her family and friends. Also many thoughtful Christmas cards, phone calls, prayers and visits.

Active COVID cases rise slightly By JARAD JARMON Calhoun News-Herald Vaccines might be out, but that does not mean the virus has stopped spreading. The number of active cases have gone up a little bit as of the most recent COVID update from the Calhoun Health Department, but largely, the number of cases in the county are about the same as they were early last week. According to a health department report on social media, there are 32 active cases as of Dec. 30. Just a day before, that number was 26. Deaths from COVID remain at three. There have been 372 who have recovered. In total, there have been 404 positives in the county. According to the report, there have been 1,300 close contacts – people who came in contact with a positive case. As previously reported, the health department has received a small number of doses of the COVID vaccine to give out. At this time, the vaccine is only available to healthcare workers. Health officials explained they will serve this population as directed by the Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH), and once they have been served, department staff will move

Vaccine

(Continued from A1) For her, the bigger side effect was that of the hope it instilled: “This was the beginning of the end,â€? she said. Since it made its jump onto the national stage, COVID has made 2020 an infamous year in all of the worst ways, and this vaccine served as a light at the end of a very long tunnel. This was a sentiment shared among some in the county who have already gotten the vaccine . “More than one person has said, ‘I can see light at the end of the tunnel,’â€? Teichmann said. “It is almost like a breath of fresh air‌ Everybody that we have had come in — they just can’t wait to get it. They are so excited, which makes me really happy.â€? Along with medical staff working or living in the county, firefighters were also on the list to get the vaccine. “In a small community like this, they are quite often the ones that are first responders,â€? she said. Currently, the health departments are still in Phase 1A of the process of getting the vaccine out in the community, meaning they have been administering it to medical staff only. “It is very strict guidelines that come out from IDPH telling us who gets it when,â€? the health department administrator said. Once people in medicine are covered, the health department will move on, looking at those individuals who are considered high risk such as those who are elderly or immunodeficient. The goal is to reach herd immunity — when roughly 70 percent of the people take it — then health officials say things should return to some form of normal. It will be a challenge though for county, state and national officials alike. Teichmann expects skepti-

Those with the health department called on healthcare workers living or working in Calhoun County to contact them at 618-5762428 to arrange receiving their vaccine. Calhoun County was further down the list than the 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 comparatively been fortunate to see the vast majority of afflicted residents recover from the virus. Up until a couple of weeks ago, the county only had one reported COVID death.

cism and pushback from some residents to the vaccine. “We are really going to try and encourage people,â€? she said. “We are more than open to questions. I understand having questions. It is scary, but getting COVID is a lot scarier.â€? Among concerns some have raised has been the speed at which the vaccine came to fruition. “People who say, ‘Well, it came out so quickly,’ and are comparing it to measles or polio — how long that took — need to remember that this is a way different time period,â€? Teichmann said. “Things have come so much further‌ Keep in mind that you cannot compare the development of this vaccine to vaccines that were developed decades ago, because we are light years away from the technology they had back then.â€? It will be a battle against misinformation spread about the vaccine and the COVID virus as a whole, including such conclusions as the vaccine being an avenue for the government to track the populace. Teichmann said people have assigned all sorts of bizarre attributes to this vaccine. “It is just not true,â€? she affirmed. “There is science out there that I think more than upholds all of this,â€? she later said. Health officials are not disillusioned and understand that some simply will not get it. “Yeah, there are people who are absolutely not going to get it, and I understand that,â€? Teichmann said. “It is a personal choice, but I am hoping enough to read up on it and understand the science and understand that this is a good thing for the county.â€? Health officials are encouraging people to reach out about their concerns. “If you have any concerns, you know, we are here. You

25 years ago Jan. 3, 1996 Advertising for bids for construction of the proposed Calhoun Medical Center and associated work site has been in progress as of approximately two weeks ago. Copies of the contract documents may be obtained at the office of Sheppard, Morgan and Schwaab, Inc. in Alton. There is a nonrefundable payment of $25 for each set. Sealed bids must be received by Bill Hurley, president of the Calhoun Medical Center Board, at the office of Hurley Dodge in Hardin until 5 p.m. on Monday, Feb. 12. In a meeting of the Calhoun Medical Center Board, the bids will be opened publicly that same evening at 7 p.m., in the office of the temporary Calhoun Medical Center in Hardin. These plans are available for viewing to anyone who is interested either at the Hardin Village Hall or at Hurley Dodge. Hurley also said that a figure has been received for the buyout of the land where the old building is located. If it is accepted, the building will be demolished and the land would be owned by the Village of Hardin. 50 years ago Jan.7, 1971 Corridor C, near the present Brussels Ferry, has been approved for a proposed bridge location across the Illinois River there by the Department of Public Works and Buildings. State Rep. Jerry Corbett has been notified by Robert E. Kronst, district engineer for the Department of Public Works of the East St. Louis District, that Corridor C has been selected by that office. A public hearing for the project was held in the elementary school in Grafton last March 20, 1970. Rep. Corbett has introduced the legislation to make the feasibility study for the bridge, and following this study he introduced a bill to appropriate funds to plan for the building of the bridge. Corbett has previously stated that the

NEWS/OUR TOWN

Hardin, Illinois

bridge project will be taken in steps due to the state’s fiscal limitations. Following the introduction of the bills by Corbett for the feasibility study, the planning and designing of the structure, which will take most of the fiscal biennium of 1969-71, the next step in legislation will be the passing of the bill for the actual building of the bridge, now that the first two steps have or will be completed in the coming months. Proponents of the bridge believe that, since nearly $400,000 has already been spent, in making the studies as to the need, the plans and designs as to location, the bridge will become a reality after that much money has been spent on the project. It has been estimated that the bridge would cost in the neighborhood of $5.5 million, but by the time actual bids are taken it probably will cost more than that due to inflation. Corridor C was the most acceptable to the Federal Conservation DEpartment, according to Dick Vasse, manager of the Mark Twain Wildlife Refuge, because that location would disrupt the wildlife there the least. The location approved by the state engineers les near the present ferry site, which crosses from Deer Plain to a point above Grafton. The engineers felt that Corridors A and B would involve greater lengths of approach spans to the main river span to avoid damming Gilbert Lake, making them more expensive than Corridor C. Funds provided thus far on the bridge project have been state funds, but the Federal government may become involved, since that body cooperates with all states in the construction of new highways and improvements of existing highways which are a part of the Federal Aid Highway System, using the federal tax on motor fuels and other related taxes from a highway trust fund. States choose the system of routes for

development, select and lan the individual projects to be built each year, acquire the right of way and the Bureau of Public Roads of the US Department of Transportation provinces guidance, approval and control in each step of the highway building process. Maps, sketches and all other information pertinent to the determination of the corridor for the bridge are available for the public inspection at the office of the district engineer, Illinois Division of Highways. 75 years ago Jan. 3, 1946 The benefit dance given Friday evening at the school gymnasium was both a financial and social success. Nearly 800 people attended the dance and enjoyed the evening dancing to the music of the Bowen Orchestra of White Hall and partaking of the delicious refreshments served by the committee. Many from out of town were in attendance at the dance. The proceeds will go to erect a memorial to World War II veterans, and this dance was the first of a series of programs to raise funds for the memorial. Chairman of the war memorial program Paul R. Durr advises that the committee is very thankful to all those who helped make the dance a success, and especially are they thankful to an anonymous donor who gave them a check for $250. 100 years ago Jan. 6, 1921 The stillness of the midnight hour of New Year’s night was broken and the slumbers of Hardin’s citizens were disurbed by beautiful music coming from the bells of two cornets. The music was beautiful and the two instruments were in perfect harmony. Being suddenly awakened in the wee hours of the night by such sweet soft music would cause one to at first imagine that he had fallen asleep on earth and woke up in Beulah Land. E.E. Linkogle and Joe Kinman furnished the music and we speak for the entire populace of Hardin when we say their music was much appreciated and greatly enjoyed.

General side effects include fatigue, headache, muscle pain, joint pain, chills, nausea and vomiting and fever. There is a remote chance that the Moderna vaccine could cause a severe allergic reaction. A severe allergic reaction would usually occur within a few minutes to one hour after getting a dose of the Moderna COVID-19 Vaccine.

Great strides made on Delhi Bypass Laborers work on the water pipes along Highway 67 as part of work on the Delhi Bypass. Crews have been working diligently on the Delhi Bypass, and that work has clearly paid off. Much of the work has been clearing the way for the eventual bypass, but it has still made great progress ahead of the typically frigid temperatures of January and February. The bypass, which will eventually allow traffic on 67/255 to bypass Delhi entirely, is one stage of the larger highway expansion project, which is anticipated to alleviate traffic in Jerseyville as well as boost infrastructure in the region. A bypass around Jerseyville is slated to be constructed as the freeway continues its construction northward, eventually making its way to Greene County.

anyone currently infected with COVID-19 should wait to get vaccinated until after their illness has resolved and after they have met the criteria to discontinue isolation. Additionally, current evidence suggests that reinfection with the virus that causes COVID-19 is uncommon in the 90 days after initial infection. Therefore, people with a recent infection may delay vaccination until the end of that 90-day period if desired. 4 '2 , 1((' 72 :($5 $ 0$6. $1' $92,' &/26( &217$&7 :,7+ 27+(56 $)7(5 5(&(,9,1* 7+( 7:2 '26(6" A: Yes.

This will allow the United States to start with as much vaccine as possible and continually increase the supply in the weeks and months to follow.
