Pleasant Hill woman killed in rollover

By BOB CROSSEN Calhoun News-Herald A 31-year-old Pleasant Hill woman died in a vehicle accident Sunday morning north of The Palace bar on the Mississippi River Road. Calhoun County Sheriff Bill Heffington said the call was received at 12:41 a.m. Oct. 20. He said he got to the scene at 1:47 a.m. when he pronounced April L. McKee dead. The driver of the vehicle was identified as Randy Clendenny, and at least one other individual was injured in the crash.

“It’s definitely a big tragedy. That girl wasn’t that old,” Heffington said. The sheriff said six people were in the fourdoor Ford F-250, which rolled over on the Mississippi River Road near Mozier Hollow Road in Calhoun County north of Hamburg. Heffington said McKee was in the backseat of the vehicle at the time of the rollover. The vehicle came to a stop on its side in a cornfield south of Mozier Hollow Road. “It was a rollover and ended up in a cornfield on the east side of the Mississippi River Road,” Heffington said.

He said McKee was partially in the vehicle and partially out of it when the vehicle came to rest on its passenger side, suggesting she was not wearing a seat belt during the ordeal. The vehicle rolled approximately two-and-a-half times. The sheriff said he could not provide intricate details about the case because information from an autopsy and toxicology reports of those involved is still pending. He said he cannot confirm or deny whether alcohol or drugs were involved until reports indicate such. Pleasant Hill Medical, Spring Creek Medical, Pike County ALS Medical and Calhoun County

Ambulance Service all responded to the call in addition to the sheriff’s office. Illinois State Police did not come to the scene, but were requested, Heffington said. As of Tuesday at 2 p.m., no charges were filed. This fatal rollover is reminiscent of the fatal hayride accident last year which occurred near the same location, Heffington said. “Oct. 20, same time, and it’s only 100-yards apart,” Heffington said. A complete obituary for April L. McKee appears on page A3.

Effects of Obamacare already being felt locally By ROBERT L YONS Campbell Publications The date requiring every resident to carry health insurance is nearing. But, many associated with health insurance locally are not overly optimistic the initial affect will be positive. The Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare, mandates citizens have a health insurance plan in place by the end of March 2014. The concept is that if everyone has insurance, the quality and affordability will increase. As part of the legislation, insurance companies will be forced to accept customers who have pre-existing conditions and provide preventative care coverage. However, local employers, health-

Harvest

care providers and insurance agents aren’t confident the plan will meet its goal, at least not early on. “It’s an ambitious project,” Dr. Ron Johnson, who practices at locations in Pike and Scott counties with Quincy Medial Group, said. “To cover everybody with insurance like we did for car insurance is not a bad idea, because it evens out the payment. But to require everybody to have preventive care, as well, front loads the cost tremendously. The payoff will be incredible on the other end, though.” Being able to detect and treat diseases and other health risks early on will be a tremendous boon to the healthcare providers, according to Johnson. He said by keeping the populace healthy, thus at work and paying for insurance,

the systems begins to sustain itself. “The first few years are going to be painful,” he said. Johnson said he believes it will take three to four years before the benefits of Obamacare will begin to even out the negatives. The downside may be hard to overcome, according to Jessica Dean, an insurance agent with the Jerseyville- and Carrollton-based company Whitworth, Horn and Goetten. Dean said many individuals have been inquiring about health insurance since Oct. 1, a date widely advertised as the opening day of the insurance exchange. She said everything she’s encountered regarding the reform – the website healthcare.gov, the coverages and premiums – has been discouraging.

“Unfortunately, [for current clients] their options are less coverage for more money, as of right now. I haven’t seen anything any better for them, unless they are low income,” she said. “That’s been my experience with my customers, so far.” With a penalty in the first year for failing to purchase a policy of just $95 or one percent of taxable income, whichever is greater, Dean said there’s not much incentive for someone like a young, uninsured healthy male to enroll. But, it is the inclusion of healthy individuals which equalizes the risk for insurers. Even worse, she said, many who are insured now may not be for much longer. “I’m scared there will be people out there who will stop taking coverage,

which is the exact opposite of what this plan is supposed to do for our country,” she said. “And they’re not going to be the people who are considered poor.” Not only may some individuals drop coverage, some employers are reconsidering even offering the benefit. Dave Wittman, manager at Jerseyville’s Sinclair Foods, said the small, family-owned grocery store tries to take care of its employees, but the new law is making it tough to do. With the Affordable Care Act came a new definition of full-time employee. Now, anyone who works at least 30 hours a week is eligible for full-time benefits. Wittman said management is weighing its options, which may include limiting many employees to less than 30 (See, OBAMACARE, A2)

By BOB CROSSEN Calhoun News-Herald The Calhoun County Commissioners unanimously approved the purchase of three John Deere mowing tractors for the county highway department for $230,000.

He said the county will get a 21 percent discount on the tractors, which have closed cabs for the safety of those driving them, and allows for operation in varying weather conditions.

Brussels AYP hurt by cut score changes

Obituaries in this issue: McKee, Ruyle

By BOB CROSSEN Calhoun News-Herald Despite making adequate yearly progress last year – one of only 152 districts in the state to do so – Brussels Community Unit School District 42 did not meet the requirement this year due to a change in cut scores. Superintendent Mark Martin said the standardized tests are not kind to smaller school districts where the performance of a single student can make a great impact on the overall scores for the school. “One or two students’ outlier scores can swing us back and forth,” Martin said.

Dozens of trucks lined up at Jersey County Grain Elevator Monday evening in south Hardin to weigh in and deposit their grains. Trucks lined County Highway 1 north and south of the elevator to enter the elevator while two lanes of trucks waited to unload. C

According to the Illinois Interactive Report Card (IIRC), a website run by Northern Illinois University which publishes school testing information for the state of Illinois, 80.6 percent of students tested in the grade school – grades three through eight – made AYP in reading while 96.8 percent made the standard in mathematics in scores released last year. At the high school 84.4 percent made AYP in reading while 81.3 percent met or exceeded the requirement in mathematics in 2012. Though the scores are quite high, the state changed cut scores at the elementary level which led to a downward trend in scores in those grades across the state. Cut scores are the point (See, BRUSSELS, A2)

That just doubles everything we have,” Wittman said. “The way the grocery business is now, we can’t just go out there and raise our prices on everything to pay for that because the industry is so competitive. It’s definitely an issue we’re going to have to make some tough decisions on.” Pike Pig Systems in Pittsfield has already made a decision. The company will no longer offer group insurance as of Jan. 1, 2014, according to co-owner John McIntire. Instead, employees will be given a stipend on their paychecks to cover the cost of an insurance policy. “A lot of the reason we offered the group policy was for pre-existing conditions. Now there’s no advantage to that,” McIntire said. Businesses with 50 or more employees will be assessed a fine if they do not offer health insur-

They were changed at the elementary school level to more accurately reflect their relation to the high school scores. High school scores have been traditionally low in comparison to the elementary and junior high scores throughout the state, and the change was meant to equalize the numbers. At the elementary school level, the drops were significant with 55.2 percent of students meeting or exceeding AYP in reading and 51.7 percent doing the same in mathematics, according to scores released this year. The score drops were also dramatic for the high school where 48.4 percent met or exceeded AYP

ance – both Sinclair Foods and Pike Pig Systems employ fewer than 50 – but if any employee is offered the benefit at any company, every full-time employee must be offered it, as well. Wittman said if the decision is made to no longer offer health insurance, the full-time employees could see a raise to offset the cost of purchasing it themselves. But, receiving that extra money on a paycheck doesn’t necessarily even everything out. Insurance premiums are on the rise to the tune of 10 to 15 percent per year, according to McIntire, so within a few years that stipend may not make much of an impact. “I think employees are going to realize how much of a benefit company-provided health insurance was when they see what they have to pay,” McIntire said. Government subsidies exist for families and individuals earning up to four time the poverty level, which is $23,550 for a family of four – so

a family of four could earn up to $94,200 and still qualify for some assistance, on a sliding scale. To help people navigate the enrollment process, the Illinois Department of Insurance is certifying assisters. Assisters cannot charge fees, according to getcoveredillinois.gov. In this area, each county’s health department has been tasked with assisting. “You would provide the person an opportunity to access the webpage where you sign up for health insurance, and give some explanation in terms of eligibility,” Calhoun County Health Department Administrator Steve Shireman said. Shireman said he and representatives from other counties are still in the training process, which includes meeting federal and state requirements. “We’re trying to get up and going as quickly as possible,” he said. “We encourage people to come and at least look into what kind of programs are available.”

An influx of insured individuals could stretch some healthcare providers thin, though Dr. Johnson expects that affect to have more of an impact in larger urban areas. “This part of Illinois is poor enough and old enough that an awful lot of our residents qualify for Medicare or Medicaid. I don’t think we’re going to see thousands of new patients,” Johnson said. The doctor said patients are going to have to become more accountable for their own health in terms of taking care of their weight, refraining from tobacco use and receiving regular immunizations. He also noted patients with problems like high blood pressure and diabetes can be seen less often, unless an issue arises necessitating a doctor’s visit. “By changing a lot of things in the way we do our practice, we can accommodate some of the influx without more manpower,” Johnson said. “But, if everybody has insurance during flu season, watch out.”

pleted. The county would not be trading in its older equipment – two John Deere tractors and one Ford – but rather would look to sell them to surrounding townships. “I’m sure I can get a lot better deal from a road district, say, in Jersey or Greene County,” Webster said. “We’ll keep using them until we can sell them.” The new ones would not be

leased, but would rather be purchased. The lease cost each year would be around $51,000 for five years, Webster said. The department has money budgeted this fiscal year to pay for the tractors, which could last for at least 20 years, the county engineer said. Webster also informed the commissioners he will look to pave County Highway 1 between the fresh pavement laid earlier this year

to the stop sign on the highway in Brussels. He said paving the road to the ferry will be many years away. The commissioners approved an engineering agreement with Sheppard, Morgan and Schwabb for the work.

in reading and 54.5 percent did the same in mathematics. In addition to cut score changes, the tests also had questions relating to the Common Core Standards which were fully implemented in Illinois school districts this year to raise teaching standards. He said tracking individual achievement year after year shows students are improving, despite what the change in scores would otherwise suggest. And even the Illinois State Board of Education released information indicating the change in scores does not indicate students are losing their knowledge, but are rather being held to a much higher standard. Martin said reading is a main focus for the elementary school

because of its overall importance to student learning. “Our main thrust is on English language arts. That affects everything,” Martin said. “We want all our students to read and write well, enough to be able to do whatever it is they want to do when they leave the school.” He said teachers in the district are also working together to implement the Common Core Standards which overlaps course work into other classes. One example involves putting more reading and writing work into social studies classes so students learn the content of the class while also improving their reading and writing skills. Similar overlaps will be implemented with mathematics

and science classes. “I’m glad we’re working towards the Common Core Standards so that we have standards to shoot for. We know what it is we’re asking students to learn,” Martin said, noting the standards will benefit students who move to different districts, as well. The elementary school will also move to the Partnership for the Assessment of Readiness of College and Careers (PARCC), an assessment designed by 18 states, the District of Columbia and U.S. Virgin Islands to test students’ college preparedness and readiness for their future careers. It is unclear how the change in standardized assessment will interact with student test achievement.

Sometimes the changes are so drastic that they are hardly recognizable to their friends and family. We often describe these experiences as if we had emerged from a cocoon or the scales had fallen from our eyes. But, our blindness is sometimes of our own making. And sometimes we prefer to stay in our cocoons when what we really need is to venture forth and spread our wings in order

Sgt. Immer visits Grafton Elementary pen pals Sgt. Jeffrey Immer, father of Grafton Elementary 4th grader, Eli Immer, has recently returned from a year-long deployment in Kuwait. While his dad was deployed, Eli and his classmates (then Melissa Medford’s 3rd graders) wrote letters and sent pictures to Sgt. Immer. Last week Sgt. Immer came to Grafton Elementary to visit with his pen pals (now in Rick Eberlin’s class). He talked about his job in the Army and the country of Kuwait, and he led the students in a team building exercise. Eberlin and Medford are grateful to Sgt. Immer for his service to our country, and for taking the time to share his experience with the students.

Extension websites help you enjoy fall to the fullest St. Francis of Assisi Fall Dinner raffle winners Fall is the favorite time of year for many people. It brings with it crisp air, beautiful colors, and distinctive opportunities for food and fun. University of Illinois Extension offers a variety of websites that will help you take advantage of those opportunities. Apples and more provides detailed information for everyone from the serious apple grower down to the avid apple eater. Apple varieties are described and explained for their best eating and/ or baking uses, and multiple articles address how to grow apples in different areas of the country as well as problems that may occur. There are recipes tested by an Extension educator, an “Apples: A Class Act” curriculum for teachers, a list of apple orchards around the state, and a list of apple festivals held across the country. Visit the site to learn fun apple facts and nutrition information. There’s a reason we’ve all heard “An apple a day…!” http://urbanext.illinois.edu/ apples/default.cfm Pumpkins and More brings out the kid in all of us, with Halloween just around the corner. You can read the history of the Jack-o-Lantern

(it involves an Irish myth and a man nicknamed ‘Stingy Jack’). Experiment with pumpkin recipes (anyone for pumpkin-amaretto cheesecake?) and find pumpkin farms and pumpkin festivals. Even learn how to make healthy pumpkin Halloween treats. And when Thanksgiving rolls around, impress your family with your knowledge of the largest pumpkin pie ever made - 350 pounds! http://urbanext.illinois.edu/pumpkins/default. cfm Bulbs and More gives the flower gardener all the information they need to get ready for the coming year. Fall is the prime time for planting hardy spring-flowering bulbs, and there is a detailed section on the planting and care of bulbs. A selection of bulbs (and when they flower) is available, as well as detailed information on landscaping with bulbs. There is a list of links to other websites on this topic, including some state-specific sites, and a Q&A section that addresses many problems most bulb gardeners face. http://urbanext.illinois.edu/bulbs/index.cfm The Miracle of Fall is a website for anyone who appreciates the spectacular display of fall

colors, particularly in the northern climes. Read a list of foliage updates to learn the peak times for fall colors around the country. Find the most scenic locations to drive and hike. If you can’t make a trip, browse through the foliage photos or check out foliage cams around the country that are updated throughout the day. There is also a list of foliage trees and their colors and fall festivals by state. http://urbanext.illinois.edu/ fallcolor/default.cfm The Great Corn Adventure is an interactive website for kids featuring Zea Mays. Zea takes children through a number of different topics, including “What Is Corn and What’s the Story?,” “A Year in the Life of an Ear,” “Harvest Time,” “Where’s It Go?,” and “It’s a Lot More than Cornflakes.” Children learn the importance of corn around the world as Zea shows them how corn is grown, harvested, distributed, and used. http://urbanext.illinois.edu/fallcolor/default.cfm. As the days grow shorter and the temperatures grow cooler, take the time to browse through one or more of these Extension websites that can help you enjoy fall to the fullest!

■ Blessings from Belleview by Chris Thomas ■ 217-734-9012 Wow! What a great weekend at Belleview Community Church. We were once again blessed by several first time visitors including out guest speaker and his family, there were at least 15. The potluck was delicious as usual and our total attendance was 51. Thank you to all of our visitors, both new and returning who came to be with us. My family and I are so humbled by the show of appreciation from the church and the gift was excellent. November is shaping up to be the busiest month of the year here at BCC! On November 3rd we will be having a Veteran’s Appreciation Service at BCC and we would certainly love to have the veterans come and join us. We will be having a potluck following the service. We want to make sure that we have enough tokens of appreciation for all of our veterans, if you are a veteran and are planning to attend, please contact us by phone or email at pastor.chris@hotmail.com. The service begins at 10:45 AM. On Saturday, November 9th we will be having Family Movie Night at the Kampsville School Gymnasium. We hope that you will come and join us and at 6:30 PM. We have a special day to recognize! Jerry and Joyce Bland will be celebrating their anniversary on October 27! Happy anniversary to this wonderful couple! A game warden was talking to a man who had been fishing on the Mississippi River. The warden asked the fisherman if he caught

anything in which the fisherman replied that he had not but that the day before he caught 50 crappie, 20 bass, 5 paddlefish and 3 catfish. The warden asked the fisherman if he knew who he was and the fisherman said no. The warden flashed his badge and identified himself as a DNR officer. The fisherman grinned and asked the warden if he knew who he was, the warden replied that he did not. The fisherman smiled and said “I am the biggest liar in the state!” Despite the undocumented reputation of fisherman and the story telling skills, what I am about to tell you is true. JB and I tried out our fishing skills on the boat that I recently purchased. It was a comfortable October day as we anchored at a wonderful prospective spot that we had found. After very little action, JB’s rod baited with chicken heart began to show activity. He carefully reached down to place the rod in his hands, after a few short minutes the line went crazy and JB was at work reeling in this catch which refused to compromise. It was a battle that had gone on for at least five minutes when suddenly without warning, the line snapped and on the back of the boat was a disappointed fisherman. The following week, we attempted to revisit the scene of the crime. On our journey to the fishing hole, JB shared with me his personal reflection of the incident. He made a statement that jumped out to me, a statement that I feel worth repeat-

ing. He said “I thought of all the things that I could have done differently.” Isn’t that the way it is in life? Sometimes we reflect on certain things that have occurred and wondered what we could have done differently. You can’t change yesterday, but yesterday can better prepare you for today. I have met so many people who have shown remorse and guilt for something that has happened in the past or often times, our feet are held close to the fire for mistakes that we have made by others around us. We can’t change it. It has happened. What we can do though is to let those mistakes or errors of our past better prepare us for what lies ahead. I am a pastor, but even my past has been checkered, and far from perfect. I am not even remotely close to perfect today, but Lord knows I strive to be the best I can be. My wife said something to me when we were dating. It is something that I still think of often and grateful for. She said, “Who you were helped to shape who you are and you became better and smarter for it.” What a profound statement. We cannot change the things that have already happened, but we can become better and smarter for it. There is a wonderful verse which speaks of God’s forgiveness, if we ask. As far as the east is from the west, So far has He removed our transgressions from us. (Psalm 103:12)

My Beautiful Day Marion Schoeberlein I borrowed a poem from the sky, And music from a bird, I stole a chime out of the wind, And from the rose a word, I borrowed a song from the hills, A psalm from the silver rains, I took the footsteps of angels Out of cobbled lane, From each little thing I fashioned Something in my own way, With God’s help I put in my heart A beautiful, wonderful day!

Calhoun FFA to hold 4th Annual Fall Farmer Lunch Oct. 26 The agriculture industry is the largest in Illinois, providing food, clothing, fiber and fuel for our families. Approximately forty percent of jobs in Illinois are in the agriculture industry, ranging from crop and livestock production, fruit and vegetable production, to transportation and marketing of the agricultural products. In the U.S., we pay just 11 percent of our disposable income for food – 6 percent is spent on food eaten at home and 5 percent on food eaten away from home.

That’s the lowest percentage of any nation in the world. Despite the drought experienced in the Midwest this summer, we will continue to enjoy the safest, most nutritious and abundant food supply in the world, thanks to our farmers and those employed in the agriculture industry. Have you thanked a farmer today? The Calhoun FFA and Alumni Chapter will be holding the 4th annual Fall Farmer Pork Chop Lunch at the four way stop in Hardin on Saturday, Oct. 26, serv-

come back and get the remainder of the major bridges, which includes the Joe Page Bridge.” Monroe said he is unsure of the date the inspection will take place but said the Joe Page Bridge is unique as it always has a bridge tender on deck. “Plus, there is a mechanic that works five-days-a-week and eighthours-a-day on that bridge,” Monroe said. “So, it actually gets 24-hour-a -day attention where a lot of the other bridges do not.” Most of the state’s bridges are inspected on a regular interval by IDOT’s field staff and the bridge inspection unit goes through all bridges on regularly scheduled intervals. The governor also sent letters of condolence to both Minnesota Governor Tom Pawlenty and Minneapolis Mayor R.T. Rybak. “Our hearts and prayers are with the victims and their families of this terrible disaster in Minnesota,” said Gov. Blagojevich. “While we have a rigorous inspection system that ensures the safety of our bridges in Illinois, a tragedy like this demands that we step up our efforts and do everything in our power to guarantee the safety of our bridge network.” Bridge inspectors from IDOT and the Tollway will be examining bridges that are similar in design to the Minnesota bridge, are under construction, or that carry high volumes over waterways. Critical spans, including those crossing the Mississippi River and other major waterways, will be visually inspected immediately, with more detailed inspections in coming days using high tech equipment. Visual inspectors will be looking for general structure alignment and anything out of the ordinary. The detailed inspections will assess beam deterioration, determine the condition of the connections and identify cracks and anything that is out of alignment.

By JILL THURSTON Calhoun News-Herald A local woman approached the Calhoun County Board of Commissioners at Thursday’s meeting to inquire about a beer and wine liquor license and funding for a new restaurant in Golden Eagle. Calhoun County Clerk Susie Kress said Vera Droege appeared in behalf of her son, Diago “Don” Reyes, who has been a chef for 16 years. “He is currently a chef at a hotel outside of the area,” Kress said. “And he would like to purchase the Golden Eagle General Store and make it into a restaurant.” Kress said Droege was told the county has 26 liquor licenses in both incorporated and unincorporated areas and that there were no licenses available at this time. Droege also asked the board about borrowing money from the county’s revolving loan fund for the proposed restaurant. “The board gave her the application and the rules and

With the high school volleyball regular season winding down, the Calhoun Lady Warriors wrapped up their second Western Illinois Valley Conference championship of the past three years Wednesday, Oct. 15, again surpassed the 20-wins mark and then finished third at the Waverly Tournament Saturday. Calhoun capped its conference schedule with a 25-8, 25-21 win on

the road Tuesday, Oct. 15, at Brown County and a 25-16, 25-7 victory against Routt Catholic the following night in Jacksonville. The Lady Warriors finished their 2013 WIVC slate a perfect 9-0. The win at Brown County brought about another milestone for Calhoun, as the team reached 20 victories for the third-straight season. The Lady Warriors are 24-3-1 overall this year after playing to a

Calhoun News-Herald

Community comes together to help people United Way’s 2013 mid-campaign report Midway through its campaign, the Southwest Illinois Division of United Way of Greater St. Louis reports it has raised $571,357 toward the community goal of $1.86 million to help people in Madison, Macoupin, Jersey, Calhoun and Greene counties. The campaign will come to a close on Wednesday, Nov. 6. “As we reach the halfway point of this year’s campaign, I want to extend a big thank you to everyone who has made a gift to United Way thus far during our campaign,” said Jeff Lauritzen, the 2013 campaign chair for the Southwest Illinois Division. “Every dollar amount makes a tremendous difference in reaching our goal to help people. I encourage those that have yet to make a gift to consider it. The dollars raised for United Way stay right here in our community to help people like our friends, neighbors and relatives in an ever increasing time of need.” Overall, the United Way of Greater St. Louis campaign reports it has raised $49.015 million toward the community goal of $72.25 million to help people in the greater St. Louis region. With generous support through individual and corporate donations, United Way of Greater St. Louis is able to invest more than $1 million each week in the community to help one in three people (that’s more than 1 million people being helped annually) through more than 170 local agencies it funds. Last year, more than 200,000 people and 2,500 businesses donated to United Way, raising more than $72.019 mil-

lion overall to help people in need throughout the region. Specifically for the Southwest Illinois Division area, more than $1.848 million was raised to help people in its five-county service area in 2012. “Last year, we were so pleased to have not only reached our goal but to have exceeded it,” Lauritzen said. “This year, we know this is a tough goal to make, but this community consistently comes together to help one another year after year. Our goal is really about helping people to make this community a better place.” Support for this year’s campaign is still needed. To give to the Southwest Illinois Division of

United Way of Greater St. Louis, call (618) 251-0072 or go online to www.stl.unitedway.org. The money raised for the Southwest Illinois Division campaign will stay in its five-county service area of Calhoun, Greene, Jersey, Macoupin and Madison counties. Nearly 40 local health and human service organizations that help people in these communities are supported by the Southwest Illinois Division campaign each year. In 2012, more than 217,000 people were helped in its service area thanks to generous support through individual and corporate donations.
