State provides $130 million to replace Joe Page Bridge

By KRIS SCHEFFEL Calhoun News-Herald Gov. J.B. Pritzker and the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) announced last week that Calhoun and Greene counties will be receiving $130 million to replace the Joe Page Bridge.

It is a part of a wider effort via the Rebuild Illinois plan to improve roads and bridges across the state.

It was a move that many in the county including the group, Access Calhoun, saw as a step forward.

Access Calhoun is local group frustrated with the lack of flood mitigation efforts, formed following this year’s flooding. They sought actions be taken to ensure the crippling flood events like the one this year and in ’93 would not be as devastating to the access of the county— the same actions proposed in ’93.

“As a group, we did not ask for a new bridge, but our meetings were information-gathering, fact-finding meetings about several different options for better access,” Pam Long of Access Calhoun said.

Among those options was a new bridge.

“Access Calhoun was pleased to see the replacement of the Joe Page Bridge included in the recently released Illinois Multi-Year Plan,” she said.

Monday’s announcement represents a major success in the struggle to make sure Calhoun remains accessible during severe weather events as the Joe Page Bridge is the main means by which many cross the Illinois River every day.

For Long and Access Calhoun, the congratulations will wait, though, until the project is more concrete.

“Although this expresses the commitment of the state and federal agencies involved to work toward better access, we want to remain cautiously optimistic until we have more information and this project becomes a reality,” she said.

According to a state press release, IDOT considered the condition, frequency of use and number of crashes and fatalities to determine which projects would receive funding.

“In my nearly 30 years at this agency, today might be the most important day in our history,” Omer Osman, acting secretary of IDOT, said. “This multi-year plan gets us on the path to fixing our roads and bridges, putting policies into action that ensures our transportation system in Illinois is reliable, safe and provides economic opportunity for generations to come.”

Approximately $4.99 billion of the $23.5 billion has been allocated for bridge replace-

ments and repairs under which the Joe Page Bridge falls. The project has been divided into several parts, the first of which involves several engineering contracts funded for 2020.

Calhoun county engineer Kyle Godar said these early contracts are typically feasibility studies to determine the location of the project.

“I can’t speak for IDOT,” he said. “I would have to think that the first engineering con-

tract would be to determine where the bridge would be located... It will involve all the environmental reviews and studies.”

The project is listed as part of IDOT’s five-year plan from 2020 to 2025. After each year, the plans will be updated depending on revenue and evaluation metrics.

“We are grateful for the consideration of this type of project in our area” Long said.

“We believe that this will bring about economic vitality and stability in our county.”

The bridge is currently undergoing routine inspections

by IDOT. The bridge has been reduced to one lane, according to the Calhoun County Sheriff’s Office. Work was said to continue into this week with drivers being urged to give themselves more time to commute in case they are stopped at the bridge.

Calhoun moves forward with buyouts State looking

By KRIS SCHEFFEL Calhoun News-Herald

A

s the buyout process moves forward in Calhoun, Ron Davis, a representative of the Illinois Department of Natural Resources (IDNR), spoke with residents about the next steps this past Tuesday, Oct. 22.

The buyout program is part of a series of state level actions to help mitigate the damages of natural disasters. The program is completely voluntary and results in the demolition and rezoning of the land so that no one else would be able to build structures on it. Like any state or federal program, it is a long and tedious process.

“You don’t have to take the buyout, and frankly, a lot of times it’s between a rock and a hard place,” Davis said. “OK, yeah, we don’t have to, but if we don’t take the buyout, we have to tear it down and pay to demolish it.”

Davis continued to emphasis the

voluntary nature of the program, stating that individuals could drop out at any point in the process.

This is, in part, a response to the state’s appeal of the Individual Assistance denial.

“If you get a chance to get Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) assistance, go ahead and take it,” he said. “FEMA can do a lot more with their money.”

If the appeal is granted, individuals can apply to alternative mitigation projects such as raising their homes rather than going ahead with a buyout.

Another consideration is that FEMA’s program is 75 percent funded, unlike IDNR’s which is 100 percent funded.

However, even if an individual opts to take part in the program, they must meet the eligibility requirements, the most basic of which is the amount of damage the home has sustained.

The county has been in the process of assessing homes in order to put in applications for those that would potentially qualify for the program. The damage is determined by a number of factors

which include how high the water was in the home and the amount of structural, electrical or plumbing degradation.

There are further eligibility standards that must be met before the state will approve a buyout.

Properties must be free of environmental hazards and must not have been foreclosed on prior to beginning the buyout process.

From there, the review process can begin.

“The local jurisdiction tells us who they want to purchase, and we have to do an environmental review,” Davis said. “Frankly, that takes the longest amount of time. I submitted it about a month ago, and it’ll take roughly another month.”

The review makes sure that there are no protected species or historic structures located on the property. The historical review, Davis said, takes the most amount of time.

From the damage estimate, IDNR will then run a cost benefits analysis to ensure that buying out (See, BUYOUTS, A2)

Carjackings are out of control

By BILL HOAGLAND Within the past several years, there has been a significant increase in the number of “carjackings” in this country.

“Carjacking” refers to the forced removal of the operator of a motor vehicle so that a thief can take possession of that vehicle.

It has been a common occurrence in foreign countries for years but now it is occurring so much in the United States that it has become an epidemic in many major cities such as Chicago, Memphis and St. Louis. In Chicago, for example, there were 20 carjackings in one week recently.

On the whole, the perpetrators appear to be young, inner city males—sorry if anyone is offended by this but it is the truth. Usually, they are armed with a handgun and more often than not, the carjackings are being carried out by at least two participants.

So, what would be the motivation for this growing criminal activity? Are these guys so bored that they have to have highspeed chases and gunfire just to get through the day?

Let’s take a look at a recent example of two hijackers operating in the St. Louis area.

Deron Mitchell, Jr., age 18, and

Deandre Darnell Moore, age 25, have been indicted recently for six separate carjackings carried out in 2018.

Mitchell, the 18-year-old, was the subject of an arrest warrant on Nov. 4, 2018, for an earlier a reported carjacking and was spotted by St. Louis police at a filling station in north St. Louis.

When approached by police, he allegedly refused to get out of his car and despite being tasered through the window, he managed to drive off and escape.

The very next day, it is alleged that Mitchell and Moore committed three carjackings.

In those incidents, they required the occupants of those vehicles to remove their clothing, turn over their cell phones, wallets and watches and lie flat on the ground before the perpetrators took off with those vehicles—all in the span of a few hours.

Obviously, the motivation for these carjackings includes getting access to credit cards, phones and cash, but there appears to be more to it than just that. Apparently, carjacking gives the carjacker some status within their “gang” or associates. There is also the thrill of the chase that seems to be motivating the carjackers.

Security experts advise us to be vigilant when driving in high crime areas and to park only in areas that are well-lit. That’s probably good advice, but the new trend for carjackers is one much harder to avoid, no matter how “vigilant” you are.

They now bump the rear of your vehicle with their stolen vehicle and when you get out to exchange insurance information, guess what? You are about to lose your wallet, cash, cell phone and maybe even your clothing— and to add injury to insult, you will be losing your vehicle.

Personally, if I get rearended in St. Louis and things don’t seem quite right, I am driving away. Maybe I will toss some insurance information out the window as I leave, but sticking around to find out there isn’t any insurance at the other end anyway just isn’t worth it.

These carjackers in the St. Louis-area typically have the tactical advantage of being able to run from one

jurisdiction to another jurisdiction across various bridges on the Mississippi and Missouri Rivers. Calhoun County, on the other hand, would not seem to be fertile ground for carjackers—not when a few phone calls can get the bridge raised and the ferries stopped. That would appear to reduce the carjacker escape options to racing around on the backroads of Calhoun until they wrap themselves around a tree at some point.

So maybe having to wait on ferry boats and drawbridges does have a few advantages after all.

Outdoor Truths: Gary Miller

New days offer up a clean slate One of my favorite creations in our world is that thing we call a “day.”

You know, that 24 hours that comes to an end only to begin another 24 hours.

Now, I know it doesn’t take much to intrigue me, but this has always been something that I have given thought to.

And if you think about it, it is one of the most refreshing things about life.

In hunting or fishing, it doesn’t matter what yesterday was like, today is a new day. It doesn’t matter that I never saw a deer yesterday, today will be better. It doesn’t matter if I didn’t catch any fish yesterday, today may be the day they turn on.

Again, if you really think about it, hunters and fishermen are men and women of optimism. If we were not, we would never get up the next morning and do it all over again. Today is a creation that is meant to be one of prom-

ise and hope, not dread and despair.

It is meant to be a time for leaving the disappointments and discouragements of yesterday and holding on to the possibility of something better. It is also an opportunity to forget about the failures of days past and embrace new mercy.

There is a very important verse in the Bible that says this: “Great is His faithfulness; His mercies begin afresh each day.”

I really, really like that... and you should too.

Let me tell you why.

Some of you right now really messed up yesterday. You made a promise that you broke.

You perhaps succumbed to temptation. The determination you thought you had, left you yesterday. The self-control that had been your ally suddenly abandoned you yesterday.

But that was yesterday.

Today is today. It is new.

You do not have to bring

the failures of yesterday with you today.

G o d ’s mercies begin afresh each day!

You now have a choice; you can either run from God, ashamed of the failures of the past, or you can run to him with a heart-felt confession, knowing his faithfulness is great and that he has new mercy that he longs to show to you, afresh, beginning each and every day.

the property, therefore, excluding it from the definition of a duplication of funds.

The property owner has three options upon receiving an offer for a buyout.

They can either accept, reject or contest. The first will mean that the property is sold to the jurisdiction and will be subsequently demolished to mitigate future flood damage.

If an individuals rejects the offer, they will no longer be in the program.

The third option, to contest, gives property owners a chance to hire a certified appraiser to ensure that the offer meets what the value of the home is expected to be. If contested, however, there is no guarantee that the new appraiser’s estimate will result in a higher offer.

The buyout program is a lengthy one, but it offers residents, who are

still awaiting the decision to be made on individual assistance, an alternative.

If bought out, the property will be owned by the local jurisdictions and turned into green space as the state highly restricts what can be done with these properties.

“Our program, since the beginning, has been set up to help flood victims,” Davis said.

Prior to the buyout meeting, the county hired a flood project manager to assist individuals with the buyout process. If there are questions pertaining to the process, individuals are asked to contact Heneghan and Associates at 618498-6418 or jerseyville@ heneghanassoc.com.

Buyouts (Continued from A1) the property will save money in the long run.

“Maybe mid-December we might get approval for it,” Davis said.

Once all the criteria has been met and signed off on, IDNR will send a State Reviewer to ensure the appraisal of the property matches its pre-flood value which will then serve as the basis for the buyout offer.

The value of the home, however, will not be the amount offered to the property owner. The state will deduct any funds that have been received because of flood damages. This will avoid what IDNR describes as a duplication of funds.

Such funds include flood insurance, individual and household program and other needs assistance. It is important that residents save their receipts in order to prove that any funds received went directly into

Insulin

(Continued from A1) state. Most recently, the legislation was approved 15-31 by the Senate Insurance Committee.

And for local residents like Skylar Giberson, age 11, Senate Bill 667 would provide relief from the ever increasing-costs.

Skylar was diagnosed with type-1 diabetes four and a half years ago at the age of 7.

For Skylar’s mom, Lauren King, the diagnosis proved life-changing.

Type-1 diabetics are insulin-dependent, meaning that there is no alternative to regular doses, whether it be via pump or injection. “With type 1, your pancreas completely quits on you,� King said.

This differs from the more common type-2 diabetes which sees a reduction in the amount of insulin the pancreas produces. While insulin is still important for type-2 diabetics, for type 1, it can be life or death.

There are two types of insulin, fast-acting and slowacting. The former is taken after meals while the latter is taken before bed. King considers her family lucky, as the 28-day dosages of insulin are currently covered by the All Kids program, which offers healthcare for children in need. However, if Skylar runs out or accidentally drops a vial, her family will pay almost $400 out-ofpocket in order to ensure she has all that she needs.

Without insulin, the body can go into ketoacidosis, a serious and life-threatening condition wherein the body produces high amounts of blood acids called ketones.

The body releases toxins into the blood and urine, King said. “In ketoacidosis, the sugars are too high for the body,� she said. “It’s pretty much poisoning the body.�

King’s daughter, like others, has a medical plan in place to combat ketoacidosis. However, the plan requires a doubling of insulin, because the condition makes the body more resis-

tant to the effects of insulin. After a certain period of time, if those ketones aren’t under control, Skylar will have to be admitted into the emergency room (ER) at the children’s hospital.

Luckily, Skylar has not been admitted to the ER for over a year, but there have certainly been some long nights. “If she’s had a rough night, we are up through the night checking her (blood sugars),� King said. “That means midnight, 2 a.m. and 4 a.m. checks. That’s hard on a kid.�

There are concerns about keeping enough insulin in cases of an emergency. If Skylar goes into ketoacidosis near the end of the 28-day supply, she may not have enough to bring down her level of ketones. “Then it will be straight to the ER,� King said.

Planning ahead is difficult to do when insurance only permits a 28-day supply at one time with additional vials taken outof-pocket. While this has impacts on family vacations, more serious risks are felt during emergencies, such as the flood this spring when access to and from Calhoun was restricted. “We were so nervous and so scared, but we got through,� she said.

The Senate bill looks to cap the out-of-pocket expenses at $100 for a 30-day supply of insulin for those on state-funded health insurance plans. The average 30-day supply is currently estimated to be about $800.

The bill follows unsuccessful attempts to control the increasing costs of prescription medication for Illinois residents. Insulin represents the epitome of increasing prescription drug costs. “The cost of insulin clearly is breaking families that we represent,� Manar said.

Gerson joins Southwestern Advertise with Eye Care The Calhoun News-Herald

Dr. Dena Bachman, owner of Southwestern Eye care, has added Dr. Amanda Gerson to her staff as of June 3, 2019.

Gerson provides primary eye care to patients of all ages and specializes in low vision and specialty contact lenses.

Low-vision aids in maintaining independence for those that suffer from blinding conditions such as age-related macular degeneration and various other retinal diseases. Specialty contact lenses help to provide higher levels of vision for those who are unable to achieve adequate vision in their glasses. Specialty lenses can also provide comfort for those that suffer from ocular surface disease; also known as dry eye.

Gerson completed her undergraduate studies at Blackburn College in Carlinville where she received her bachelor’s degree in Biology with a minor in Chemistry. She is a 2019 graduate of the Illinois College of Optometry, where she graduated with many academic and clinical excellence awards.

Throughout the entirety of her four years in optometry school, Gerson trained at the school’s onsite eye clinic, the Illinois Eye Institute (IEI)– one of the largest eye care providers in the United States that features a large patient volume and case complexity. At the IEI, Gerson rotated through the primary care, advanced ophthalmic care, urgent care, cornea and specialty contact lens and pediatric vision clinics.

In addition to studying at the IEI in Chicago, Gerson received further ocular disease and low vision training at the Tomah Veterans Hospital in Tomah, Wis. She also gained ‘hands-on’ experience with pediatric eye care and traumatic brain injuries at Pierce Vision Specialists in Springfield, Mo. However, it was in Belleville, at Becherer and

Manar, a sponsor of the bill, cited figures from the Health Care Cost Institute, which state the average cost of insulin has risen 25 centers per unit between 2012 and 2016.

King feels lucky to have health coverage that covers Skylar’s monthly insulin costs; however, she worries for the future. “It’s scary,� she said. “You read stories all the time about college students who die from rationing insulin.

It would be easier, once she goes out on her own, if she could pay for (insulin).�

Illinois is part of a broader trend looking at the enormous costs of prescription medications such as insulin. The federal government is also looking to place a cap on out-of-pocket costs, which would see an impact not just on those with public health insurance, but also, for those with private insurance.

Insulin, however, is only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the cost of living with diabetes. There are costs not covered by insurance that would make the quality of life for her daughter better and reduce the number of ER visits.

One such device, a continuous glucose monitor (CGM), would keep track of Skylar’s blood sugars and could be checked via a mobile phone application rather than by a prick of the finger. These devices can even work with insulin pumps to immediately dole out the needed insulin without any input at all. At the moment, Skylar checks her blood sugars 6 to 10 times a day. “Her poor fingers get calloused and sore,� King said.

A CGM might allow Skylar and her family the peace of mind when it comes to managing her diabetes whether it be at school or a

“But godliness with contentment is great gain.

For we brought nothing into the world, and we can take nothing out of it. But if we have food and clothing, we will be content with that.�

1 Timothy 6:6-8 NIV

hen reduced to its bare elements, life is really quite simple, and yet we often make it complicated. We need food and water to live, and not much more, other than perhaps a roof over our head and a few items of clothing. Have you ever looked around your house and asked of everything there whether you could live without it? Most of us could probably get rid of ninety percent of the stuff in our house and be just fine without it. In fact, we might find a huge burden lifted from us by giving it all away. As Mother Teresa said, “The less we have, the more we can give. The more we have, the less we give. There are no complications, and yet we complicate our lives so much, by so many additions.� Likewise, in the ethical and spiritual realm, we tend to complicate things, when it’s really quite simple: love God and love your neighbor. We sometimes use the word “simple� pejoratively, suggesting that someone who is simple is a bit dull, but perhaps we fail to realize that even the “simplest� among us can fulfill the requirements of being a good and godly person. And it may be that there is a special place in God’s heart for these simple souls. – Christopher Simon

In spite of it all, Skylar is a normal kid who enjoys everything from gymnastics to drama. She is certainly not alone either, with several other kids facing the same challenges of a type 1 diagnosis. Having a close community in Calhoun has helped these families enormously. “I don’t feel alone,� King said.

Senate Bill 667 might be the first step of many in helping families like hers, King indicated. “We’re very pleased with the action of the committee today. This is the first step in the public debate here in the Senate,� Manar said. “Ultimately, it’s important to know that this passed committee because of the individuals around the state that spoke up when this bill was filed because of what’s happening to them and their families due to the skyrocketing costs of insulin. Their voices were heard today.�

50 Years Ago October 30, 1969 Toward the end of last school year, Larry D. Underwood, teacher, and Gary Jacobs and Randy Kinder, students at Brussels High School, prepared a history of basketball at Brussels High.

The history begins with the high school being formed in 1951 when there was no physical education. In 1937, there was volleyball, boxing, tumbling, marching and football for the boys and tap dancing, taking the pig to market and going to Jerusalem for the girls in P.E. The year 1940 saw the birth of basketball at Brussels with Jim McDonald the first coach, but he was just out of high school and Brussels needed a teacher-coach. John Kukawski, a radio announcer from St. Louis, took the job.

After many lean years, the Blue Jays began to jell and won some games. In 1946,

they won their first game from Hardin, 46-31.

In 1967, their name was changed to the Brussels Raiders, a little over a year after Brussels hired Don Snyders, the first native of Calhoun for the job.

Hard work payed off and Brussels went to the Regional tourney to Jerseyville last year as the underdogs but full of fight. They defeated the highly favored North Greene 70-69 for a big, first regional victory.

Basketball has finally arrived at Brussels. The News thanks the school for the nice history and wishes Don Snyders, a real fine coach and regular fellow, the best of everything in the future.

75 Years Ago November 2, 1944 An organization meeting was held in Hardin on the evening of Tuesday, Oct. 17, 1944. Mr. Robert Mortland

presided, and a feature of the evening was moving pictures, showing the various activities financed by the National War Fund.

100 Years Ago October 30, 1919 The News wishes to warn the auto drivers in Calhoun county of an important visitor that is apt to call upon them at some unexpected time just when their machines are out of gear and their starter refuses to work.

This visitor has been in our sister counties and he is investigating the licenses of the various cars, trucks and chauffeurs. So if you have no the proper pate or the tail light or your car is not in burning order, or your car is not otherwise up in the boundary of the law, take a tip from us and don’t venture out with “Henry.” The state proposes to enforce the auto laws and ignorance of the law is no excuse.

Q Kampsville News

by Diane Brangenberg Q 618-653-4520

Our third annual Trunkor-Treat and 28th Annual Kampsville Halloween Party was a huge success.

We have a small village here in Kampsville with few businesses and few organizations. I am beyond proud to say that everyone of them participated and donated as well as so many individuals here in the village.

We had over 100 kids at trunk-or-treat and even more at the party. Thank you to all my Bakers who baked for the cookie and treat walk.

That is always everyone’s favorite and everybody left with lots of goodies. Thank you to everyone who donates baskets the baskets and everyone who helps in any way to make this happen.

My granddaughter, Reagan, and I did the bake sale Saturday morning at the Bank of Kampsville. It was very cold but we were able to sell out very early.

Don’t forget trick-or-treat is Thursday night the 31st from 6 to 8 p.m.

The Kampsville American Legion was the place to be Friday night. The pie in the face contest came to an end.

Mysteriously, all three participants tied so they all got a pie in the face. They took bids to see who got to put the pie in the face. Jan Clore was the winning bidder to put the pie in James Ewen’s face.

Lester Benz was the winning bidder to put the pie in John Wankels face, and Brad Vacca was the winning bidder for Perry Wheeler. The money raised from this will be used to buy fleece blankets for the Veterans home.

Our queen still wasn’t found so be sure to get your

tickets.

I somehow missed this a few weeks ago, I guess since I don’t have little ones getting on the bus anymore here. But one of Kampsville’s favorite bus drivers retired: Charlie Burge. The kids all loved Charlie, and he loved the kids.

Congratulations on your well-deserved retirement .

St. Norbert’s 6, 7, and 8 grade have been studying about Pompeii. This past Thursday, they enjoyed a field trip to the Science Center to view the Pompeii exhibit.

Sheri Elmore was the lucky winner of the beautiful quilt raffled at the St. Norbert’s Fall Dinner.

Felicity Kuhlman celebrated her third birthday on Sunday the 27th with a “Frozen” party at her house, hosted by her parents Dillon and Tori.

Congratulations Kolton and Kelsey (Agney) Latham who were married Saturday.

Happy Fifth Anniversary to Kyle and Lindsey Halsey on the 24th.

Rebecca Bevill was honored at a baby shower Sunday at the Kampsville Legion. Baby Ava will be making her arrival shortly.

She received lots of beautiful gifts but a very special one that was a quilt top made by grandma Francis Hall and Rebecca‘s mom Carol finished it for baby Ava. I was very sorry to hear that Betty Hayn passed away last Monday.

Betty was such a wonderful lady, always with a smile on her face. She was very active with the Saint Anslem‘s altar Society helping with all the dinners. I had

the pleasure of working with and for her at the Kampsville Landing when it first opened.

She worked every Sunday in the gas station. We had a lot of fun Sunday mornings together. Sympathy to her husband Jerome, son Todd and daughters Linda and Joanne as well as her grandsons Adam, Zach and Tanner.

Sympathy to Virginia Church on the death of her husband, Ed. Ed always had a funny sense of humor and liked to give me a hard time when I was his waitress at the coffee shop in the morning. He always had that grin on his face just to let you know he was teasing with you. He will be missed.

Some upcoming November events in our town.

On Nov. 23 and 24, the ninth annual Calhoun Art Guild Art & Craft Sale will be held at the Center for American Archeology Gym. It will run from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday and 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Sunday.

Everything there is made by local artists.

Nov. 22 from 4-6 p.m., the Landing will have photos with Santa and his reindeer sponsored by Coldwell, Banker, Brown. Enjoy Cookies and fellowship.

The leaves are looking beautiful and duck season is also upon us. Enjoy these last few weeks of fall and continue prayers for Cindy (Sprong) Smith, Sandy Wille, Jan Clore, Jim Hill, Joe Gress, Kathryn Chapman, Eileen Gardner, Gus Wallendorf, Jeanne Jones, Luanne Baalman and Linda Herkert.

Q Point News

by Carol Sue Carnes Q 618-883-2333

The weather in this area seems to be quickly changing— cooler temperatures, beautiful fall foliage all around and very soon frost on the pumpkin.

The Trunk-or-Treat event at the Brussels Heritage Park was well attended on Friday night.

So many colorful costumes on the trick or treaters, both young and old, made for a fun evening.

Also Elaine Mans and Johnna Tepen hosted a Halloween Horror Circus at the Wittmond Hotel, and Kevin Muntman hosted a Halloween costume contest at the Old Point Pub. Quite a fun weekend all around town.

Congratulations to Ben and Barb Hanneken who were wed on Oct. 16 at the Courthouse in Hardin by Judge Charles Burch. Their attendants were Nick and Margaret Voke of Jerseyville. Afterward, the two couples enjoyed dinner at Pere Marquette in Grafton.

Sonny Roach, who is back residing with his sister and brother-in-law Patti and Roger Rose, recently spent some time with another sister, Phyllis Sloan in St. Peters, Mo. On Saturday afternoon Carol Stepanek, along with her family, hosted a Halloween Party at her home in the Deer Plain area. Many family members and friends were in attendance for the event.

Her immediate family present was Carol and Stan Drainer, daughter Tess, son Stan and grandson Jed, Angie and Joe Tepen, Cody and Amber Ewen and family, Brittney Tepen and fiancée, Bobby and Bonnie Stepanek, Austin and Michael and Joey and Bev Stepanek.

The event was to thank her family and friends for everything they have done since the death of her husband, Joe, earlier this year. Lots of great food and beverages were enjoyed by all in attendance.

Many thanks, Carol and family!

After church service on Sunday morning at St. Matthew Lutheran Church, a Farewell Dinner was held in the church hall for Rev. Mark and

Kristy Hofferber and family of Bethalto. Pastor Mark has accepted a call from Trinity Lutheran Church in Hoffman, and they will be moving there in the near future. So sad to see them go but at the same time wish them the best in their new home and parish.

Many were in attendance for the dinner and to wish them well.

Last Tuesday, visitors and dinner guests of George and Yvonne Baecht were Milton and Loyce Sagez of St. Charles. Glad to hear Loyce is doing much better and has returned home recently from a nursing facility. Sounds like they enjoyed a great day together.

Congratulations to Adam Fuhler and Schelle Westbrook who were wed on Saturday.

The event was to take place at a beautiful outdoor setting in Winneberg, but because of the all-day rain and cooler temperatures, the ceremony was held at the Brussels American Legion Hall.

A reception and dance followed. Adam is the son of Mike and Ellen Fuhler of Golden Eagle and Mary and Jason Hoemmen of Brussels.

Schelle is the daughter of Keith and Lori Westbrook of the Alton area.

Adam and Schelle will make their home in Bethalto.

Jim and Sharon Held of Alton were visitors of his mom, Marie Held, on Sunday.

They brought along a delicious dinner and dessert to share with her. Jim had also brought along his beautiful trophy won at a Car Show recently, engraved “Best of the Best.” Congratulation to him on this award.

Eric Held spent the weekend in the Brussels area visiting his parents, Bob and Bonnie Held, grandma Marie Held, along with other relatives and friends. Eric, who drives for Hemphill Brothers Coach, left on Sunday evening, and this week, will be driving Vice President Mike Pence and the Secret Service to various speaking engagements.

CALHOUN COUNCIL FOR SENIOR NEWS

How one can give back to seniors in the community

The strongest communities tend to be those in which members make a concerted effort to give as much as they get. Giving back to one’s community can foster strong relationships with fellow residents and ensure that everyone, including the less fortunate, is in position to live happy, healthy lives.

Certain people in a community may be more vulnerable to issues that can adversely affect quality of life than others. For example, the National Institute on Aging notes that, as men and women age, many are alone more often than when they were younger, leaving them vulnerable to social isolation and loneliness. Such feelings can prove very harmful to their health, potentially contributing to problems such as depression, cognitive decline and heart disease.

Volunteering to help the aging members of one’s community is a great way to give back, and such efforts can prove rewarding for both seniors and the volunteers who lend them a hand.

3XOO DQ H[WUD FKDLU XS WR WKH GLQQHU WDEOH Many a meaningful connection has been made and maintained over the dinner table.

Breaking bread with a senior from your community is a great way to foster such connections and provide an avenue for social interaction for seniors. Seniors who live alone might not enjoy cooking for one each

night, but they might jump at the chance to eat dinner with a neighbor and even help prepare the meal. Invite a senior over once per week, encouraging them to share stories about their lives as well as how the community has developed over the years. +HOS VHQLRUV PDQDJH WKHLU ILQDQFHV Many seniors struggle to manage their finances, as laws regarding taxes and investing are subject to routine changes. A little help in this area can go a long way for seniors. Adults who want to help but don’t know where to begin can do the legwork for their aging neighbors. Contact agencies such as AARP to determine if there are any financial assistance programs that can help seniors effectively manage their money and take advantage of age-specific perks, such as programs that may help seniors lower their energy costs.

2IIHU WR KHOS DURXQG WKH KRXVH 6HQLRUV who reside in single-family homes may not be able to keep up with routine home maintenance. Neighbors who want to help can offer to mow the lawn, tend to the landscaping and tidy up inside. Keep an eye open for other issues, such as clogged gutters, that can be fixed easily but prove costly if they go ignored.

Helping aging neighbors is a great way to give back and build strong communities.

What’s All the Buzz About Medicare Advantage Plans?

During Medicare Open Enrollment season, we are bombarded with television ads, mail, and phone calls from insurance companies wanting to sell us policies.

One of the most “buzzed about” insurance products are Medicare Advantage plans.

Here’s a quick look at them.

Medicare Advantage Plans (sometimes called “Part C”) are combined coverage plans for Medicare beneficiaries.

You basically hire a company like WellCare, Aetna, Coventry, etc. to coordinate your Medicare coverage.

These plans combine your Medicare Part A (hospital), Medicare Part B (medical), prescription drug coverage, and secondary payer (supplemental) coverage into one package. People with Medicare can choose between Original Medicare (A, B, drug plan, supplement plan) and Medicare Advantage (MA) Plans.

You can switch between these types of coverage from year-to-year. If you’re considering making the switch, it’s really important to understand how MA plans work.

MA coverage technically isn’t “free” because you will still have to pay your Medicare

By Mary Crawford Part B premium, co-pays for prescription drugs, and oftentimes a “co-insurance” at the doctor’s office, lab, hospital, and/or skilled nursing facility.

Sometimes, MA plans will offer limited benefits on dental, vision, and hearing services, wellness programs, and other little extras.

This is particularly appealing because our teeth, eyes, and ears wear out as we get older!

MA plans require you to work with network providers. Some plans are more restrictive of who you can see for your healthcare services than others. You also need to pay attention to yearly out-of-pocket maximum costs. What this means is that you will be responsible for a paying a certain amount of money towards your medical expenses before the plan will pick up 100 percent of those costs.

This amount ranges from around $2,500 to $6,000 per calendar year – and it doesn’t include prescription drug copays. MA coverage is also regional, so you want to pay attention to what your costs might look like if you travel and need medical services.

MA plans can work particularly well for people on Medicare who are under 65 because Medicare Supplement policy premiums are much higher. They might also be a good choice for healthy people who don’t use a lot of medical services and who are willing to actively manage their healthcare coverage by checking network requirements, etc.

Make sure you know the facts before you choose!
