No accidents as first winter storm hits Calhoun

By KRIS SCHEFFEL Calhoun News-Herald Calhoun County experienced an unusually early snow storm on Monday, Nov. 11. In spite of the unexpected weather, there were no reported accidents either the day of, or morning after.

“This is probably the earliest winter storm in Calhoun that I can remember,” Chief Deputy Kyle Jacobs said. “I would classify this as a major winter storm. The roads were hit just as hard as they have been in January or February.”

Kyle Godar, Chief Engineer of the County Highway Department, echoed Jacobs in a press release stating that the amount of snow on Monday was unexpected.

“The first storm on Veteran’s Day resulted in heavier accumulation than was anticipated, and the temperatures dropped into the single digits overnight, so the salt that we put down was ineffective after nightfall because the temperature was just too low,” Godar said.

“The first snowfall is usually the toughest one to deal with for us,” he said. “There is no residual salt on pavement surfaces from previous snows, and the County Highway Department has historically never been equipped to spray liquid brine to pretreat the road surfaces.”

This, he said, is because traffic blows away the salt before it can become a liquid, which is when it becomes effective.

Despite the road conditions, there were no reported accidents, Jacobs said.

“We had a few cars that went off the road, but nothing serious,” he said.

The main issue, Jacobs said, was Rocky Hill. Monday afternoon, the Sheriff’s Office closed Hardin’s West Main St. at Rocky Hill in order to aid a semi-truck that had been unable to get traction up the hill.

“We had a semi-truck that was delivering fish to a fish market that almost got up Rocky Hill, but couldn’t get its traction,” he said. “Luckily, we got the semi back down the hill.”

However, that incident was quickly proceeded by another.

“At the same time, Sheriff (Bill) Heffington was at the top of the hill assisting a UPS (United Postal Service) driver at the top of the hill that went off sideways,” Jacobs said.

With the help of a good samaritan, the Sheriff’s Department was able to pull the UPS vehicle out.

“Once we got things cleared, nothing else happened,” Jacobs said. “One good thing that happened yesterday was that it was a holiday and we didn’t have school.”

Because of Veteran’s Day, there was not nearly the number of vehicles out on the roads that would have been normally anticipated. The next winter storm may not be so well timed, however. Jacobs cautions drivers to be careful during future storms.

“Our main advice - and we understand people have to get to work and school - we urge people when these storms hit, to try and stay home,” he said.

“If you don’t have to go anywhere, please stay home.”

Additionally, Jacobs said to try and avoid driving at night when visibility becomes affected and to remain cau-

tious even when the roads appear clear.

“People need to keep their speed low - no dramatic breaking or accelerating,” he said. “Find that comfortable speed and keep that pace...

Give yourself extra time.”

The County Highway Department is currently working to upgrade its equipment

as well in anticipation on the next winter storm.

“We are currently working on getting equipped to spray liquid brine and hope to be setup to do so before our next snow event,” Godar said.

“I believe this will greatly improve our ability to effectively pretreat road surfaces ahead of a storm.”

Comissioners address issues North Calhoun Fire with boat access points moves back into station

By KRIS SCHEFFEL Calhoun News-Herald

A

seemingly innocuous discussion about a bridge at Thursday’s County Commissioner’s meeting is leading to positive changes for Calhoun’s boat access points — long awaited news for many residents.

The bridge in question sits along Cache Hollow and has been closed by the County Highway Department because of the flood and need for repairs.

“We have a bridge down there that was down to a 3-ton weight limit, and (the Illinois Department of Transportation) has required us to close it,” Kyle Godar, county engineer, said.

Only one resident, Terry Hanson, lives beyond the bridge, Godar said. However, there is also a popular boat landing that has been informally used for the past fifteen years, which raised questions about what

impact vacating the bridge would have on that access.

The cost of repairing the bridge, Godar said, would be roughly $300,000 to $400,000. The county receives a state grant for bridge repairs every four years, but recently used this grant to repair another bridge last year. Additionally, Godar said, there are other bridges in similar condition to the bridge in Cache Hollow that would potentially need to be closed in the coming years.

“I can’t justify it when I know I have roads that see a couple hundred cars a day that are school bus routes that have bridges that I’m gonna have to close in four or five years because of their condition,” Godar said. “I can’t justify spending that money.”

If the county were to vacate the Cache Hollow Bridge, it would become part of a private drive, meaning that residents would most likely not be able to use the boat access point beyond it.

By JARAD JARMON Calhoun News-Herald The North Calhoun Fire Protection District has moved their trucks back inside their station in time for what appears to be the start of the winter weather season—what was a concern for local firefighters.

North Calhoun Fire Chief Gary Hall said they cleaned up the station as much as possible and moved the equipment back in last week.

For months, the volunteer fire department has been using tents given by the Federal Emergency Management Agency to park their firetrucks under. The fire station was among the list of properties damaged by the flooding earlier this year. At one point, the firehouse was sitting under 9 feet of water. They were

provided a tent as temporary housing for the fire trucks.

Hall said there was hope they would find an emergency home in time for the winter months.

That did not come to pass. So, they moved back into their firehouse, which, like the tent, is considered a temporary solution for the North Calhoun firefighters who are planning to move to higher ground to avoid flooding issues again.

“We did not have any other choice,” Hall said. “…We did what we had to do.”

Anticipated temperature drops would have presented a difficult challenge for them, namely in the form of water freezing in their tanks on the trucks. The transition back into the firehouse came roughly a (See, FIRE, A2)

Outdoor Truths: Gary Miller

Communication is difference between living abundantly, meagerly I’ve often noticed how deer live mostly in a quiet environment.

Even this morning I watched one particular citydwelling doe begin to get a bit nervous when the noise of traffic began to surround her. She quickly moved to a quieter place. Not only do they prefer a soundless surrounding, but most of the time deer do very little vocal communication.

It is easy to see how well this characteristic serves the deer. When it’s quiet, any small or unfamiliar sound will cause them to be on alert. There is really much to be said for a life full of quiet moments. Then there’s this time of year.

A time when communication is at its highest and every form of it is used

including sounds. Grunting, bleating, wheezing, and even the echo of fighting, send certain messages to all deer within an earshot.

It is not coincidence that during the most important time of the year for a deer, and during a time when relationships are paramount, communication is important.

And much can be said about this as well.

If you think about it, while relationships may begin from a number of ways, they are only enhancing to our lives if they involve communication. For instance, you may have a sister, which means your relationship was not instigated by you or her but by birth, but if you never talk to that sister or communicate in any way, your relationship with her will

never be meaningful and in fact will dissolve back to the very basics of a simple bloodline.

Every healthy and beneficial relationship will be made up of heartfelt, open, and transparent communication. And without it, we are only fooling ourselves into thinking everything is alright.

In our spiritual lives, communication is the test of whether our connection with God is staying on the fringe of a basic relationship or if our daily life is being constantly enhanced by this kinship. During the most important periods of our life this communication will be the difference between living abundantly and existing meagerly.

Don’t be too prideful to

Commissioners

(Continued from A1) the issue of crowding at Martin’s Landing in response to the potential loss of this boat access point. Martin’s Landing, while owned by the county, sits along the property of Carol and Chris Cotter who have concerns as well. “I was aware it was public access,�

Carol said. “I am fine with it being public access. I like people going to the river. That’s why I moved to Calhoun, but there are boundaries that I would like to be respected.�

Martin’s Landing does not have the space to handle the potential influx of boaters that the closing of Cache Hollow Bridge could bring. “So, you have a 33 foot road down to the river, but there’s no parking lot... so, people are down there trying to back a boat in, back up, park, and if you get more than one of them, you have a problem,� Godar said.

Godar said he had recently visited Martin’s Landing where he saw a number of vehicles parked, having used the boat access. The Landing is also utilized by Illinois Fish and Wildlife as well as other officials and emergency services.

Wilschetz, having talked with the Cotter’s, posed a solution to the complications the closing of Cache Hollow Bridge could bring. Grant money, while unable to be used to improve Martin’s Landing, could be utilized to open a new boat launch with a dedicated parking area. “Then everyone would be happy, and we’d be happy too,� Chris said. “It would be a nice handoff.�

However, the grant’s application process was recently concluded, so the project would have to wait until the next application cycle. “There is no grant application available now,� Commissioner Larry Weineke said.

The commissioner’s voted in favor

(Continued from A1) “This year, I just decided we needed something more permanent and year-round,� she said.

Earlier this month on Nov. 1, Angel Ministries Calhoun was open for business, though not without local support. Hillen is working with Illinois Valley Economic Development, St. Vincent’s de Paul Society and the Calhoun FFA Food Pantry. Residents Brian and Kathy Matthews helped Hillen enormously by offering their storage space. “They have been very generous,� Hillen said. “They have been a big part of keeping this going.�

While providing clothing for those in need in the number one priority, Hillen is also focused on helping Angel Ministries Calhoun to be successful in the long term. “We want to keep this ongoing,� she said. “Hopefully with monetary donations and clothing donations, we can help to keep this going.�

Already, she has received a donation from Deakin

of vacating the Cache Hollow Bridge during the meeting in light of the possibility for a new boat launch near the southern end of the Cotter’s property.

The launches at Cache Hollow and Martin’s Landing, though, are not the only concern residents have about boat access. Royal Landing, which was greatly affected by the floods, has been closed and in need of repairs. The issue of Royal Landing was mentioned during the discussion. “I’m still hoping, that even though we do these improvements by Martin’s Landing, that we can get some kind of intergovernmental agreement with IDNR (Illinois Department of Natural Resources) to make Royal Landing accessible,� Wilschetz said.

The road at Royal Landing was covered in mud, which now sits alongside the road in what Godar estimates to be a six foot wall of mud on either side.

In addition, the flood waters eroded some of that same road, resulting in its closure.

As public property, an application has been filed with the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) under its Public Assistance (PA) program.

The program will provide the necessary funds to restore the landing to the way it was, but Godar said there is potential for improvements to be made through PA by applying for an Alternative Project. “So, they’re only gonna haul and pay to haul that mud and clean it off,� he said. “It might be worth applying for this alternative project to take all that material we need to get rid of anyway and build the road up to the County Highway 1 level out to where the boat landing site’s at.�

This would help mitigate the effects of future floods as well as keep Royal Landing accessible for those that utilize it. A joint meeting has been in the works, Wilschetz said, between IDNR, the county and emergency ser-

Mark Hagen, who brought in about a hundred coats, many of which are already being utilized during the year’s first snow.

For those wishing to donate clothes, the limited space means they will be focusing on seasonal needs.

Hillen is currently asking for coats, blankets, boots, socks and gloves for these winter months. “That’s the main thing: keep people warm now,� she said.

Those wishing to donate their time are welcomed with open arms.

Angel Ministries Calhoun is located at 105 French St. in Hardin, and is open two days a week on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Hillen hopes to expand the hours in the coming future. “We hope to get some kind of schedule, Tuesdays and Thursdays and hopefully Saturdays too,� she said.

Residents can also call Angel Ministries Calhoun at 618-363-5239 and schedule a time to stop in. “If there’s a need, they can call,� Hillen said.

Other issues discussed at the Commissioner’s meeting included: Q The plans for handicap accessibility at the county building. County Clerk Rita Hagen said that a second person has fallen since the issue was first brought up at the previous meeting. The Commissioner’s have decided to put in a sidewalk from the basketball court, near the parking lot, to the main sidewalk leading up to the stairs and ramp.

Q Commissioner Weineke attended a series of briefings on cannabis, however, the issue was once again tabled until State’s Attorney Rick Ringhausen could be present.

Schools unite to host Christmas Home Tour

By KRIS SCHEFFEL Calhoun News-Herald North and south ends of the county will be coming together for Calhoun’s Christmas Home Tour on Dec. 1.

This year will be a first with the event hosted by both St. Mary’s and St. Norbert’s Catholic Schools featuring homes across the county, as well as the schools themselves.

Visitors will get to experience Christmas from within as they are welcomed into the homes of local residents.

“It’s really cool,” Danielle Hurley, the event’s organizer said. “They open up their homes and show you their decorations...There was a woman and half of her home was a Christmas village.”

Last year, Hurley said, they had their first business participate, Hurley Dodge. It was one of the most popular stops with its car-themed decorations.

“You never know what to expect,” Hurley said. “There have been times in the past that there have been full

buffets.”

Megan Hillen is among the residents who have volunteered to open their homes for the tour. In 2018, they renovated their family farmhouse built in 1921. Hillen said she had received lots of interest in seeing the home, and the tours provide the perfect opportunity to do so.

“I think it’s a good opportunity to highlight the type of home that you have,” she said. “We’ve got a lot of interest in people seeing our home... we completely renovated in 2018. We certainly modernized it, but tried to keep a lot of the older aspects of the home.”

Visitors this year will be able to see this historic home with decorations that highlight its unique qualities. Some of her decorations have even been inspired by previous home that she has seen during the tour.

Hillen said her favorite decorations in her home this year are the variety of vintage, Christmas postcards that date back to the 1920s.

The experience of seeing homes across the county is a unique one.

“It’s not something that we get the opportunity to do a lot,” Hillen said.

This year’s event will be hosting 12 stops, including Hillen’s farmhouse, from Hamburg to Golden Eagle. Both St. Mary’s and St. Norbert’s will be amongst those stops, decking their halls and inviting guests in from the cold.

Other participants include Flowers

by Glenda, Brussels Red and White, Calhoun Bank and the Wittman Hotel.

The historic hotel will even be allowing guests to tour the upstairs, and will be offering a specialty drink for the occasion along with the KC Hall and Straight Home.

The Christmas Home Tour will take place on Dec. 1 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. with stops across the county.

The proceeds will go to the two schools hosting the event. Tickets are $15 per person, ages two and up and will go on sale on Nov. 14.

FEMA denies state appeal for individual assistance The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) recently denied the state’s appeal for federal assistance to help residents in 22 counties recover from 2019’s severe storms and historic flooding along the Illinois and Mississippi rivers.

In light of these new developments, the Illinois Emergency Management Agency will seek a disaster declaration from the U.S. Small Business Administration. If approved, an SBA disaster declaration would enable residents and business owners in the approved counties, and its contiguous counties, to apply for grants as well as low-interest, long-term loans.

To date, the federal government has approved public assistance funding for 28 counties in Illinois.

The federal public assistance program provides grants to assist state and local governments, nonprofits and houses of worship with the response and recovery costs associated with the declared disaster.

Under the guidelines of the PA program, local jurisdictions can be reimbursed for up to 75 percent of eligible costs.

Based on the $61M in losses identified during the joint preliminary damage assessment, Illinois stands to receive an estimated $45.7M. Of that, FEMA has already obligated $1.3M to launch the public assistance program in Illinois.

“While we are extremely disappointed that Illinois did not qualify for Individual Assistance funding, we will not give up fighting to provide resources to the citizens of Illinois,” Alicia Tate-Nadeau, Acting IEMA Director, said. “We are committed to working with our federal delegation to encourage FEMA to

change the eligibility requirements of the Individual Assistance program that hurts states like Illinois, and in the meantime, we will work with our state and federal partners to identify any other available resources.”

The state will work with the federal delegation to encourage changes to FEMA’s rules for determining Individual Assistance grants.

These rules outline six factors for funding consideration: uninsured home and personal property loss; disaster impacted population profile; impact to community infrastructure; fatalities; disaster unemployment and the state’s fiscal capacity to recover from this devastating event.

However, the practical effect of these rules is that state’s with large urban population centers struggle to reach FEMA thresholds, particularly when disasters are confined to rural or sparsely populated areas of the state.

The Hard Work of Love Rull Brothers Hardin, IL

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

L

ove is only rarely the idyllic bliss pictured in the movies and in romance novels. Often love requires patience, perseverance and sacrifice. Those whom we are called to love are often underserving of our love if judged by the standards of this world, but by God’s standards, all are deserving of our love as fellow children of God. And even when our beloved is deserving of our love and easy to love, it still hurts when we have to say goodbye or contemplate that our beloved will one day leave us through death. Love is hard work and it often hurts. It is doubtful that the pleasures and comforts of love will always outweigh the pains and discomforts that it inevitably brings, and yet, we must go on loving. For what is the alternative? To become a hater? To give up on love and sink into a state where we neither love nor hate? By no means, for a life without love is truly meaningless. When we say that God is love, we are essentially saying that the meaning and purpose of life and existence is love.

–Christopher Simon

“Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.”

Looking back...

25 Years Ago November 16, 1994 During the first 11 days of the 1994 duck season, 5,592 hunters in the area have taken 5,687 ducks as of Sunday, Nov. 6.

Areas and their hunter and duck totals are as follows: Batchtown 1,244 hunters, 1,351 ducks; Calhoun Point 935 hunters, 738 ducks; Glades 948 hunters, 1,028 ducks; Godar Landing 1,126 hunters, 1,558 ducks; Stump Lake 1,339 hunters, 1,012 ducks.

50 Years Ago November 13, 1969 After a shaky start when they lost their first two non-conference games of the season, the Calhoun Warriors came on strong and finished in second place in the Illinois Valley Conference with a 3-2 mark.

Southwestern High took the title when they defeated Winchester 36-22 Friday night on their home gridiron.

They ended with an unblemished record of 5-0 for the season in IVC play.

Calhoun was idle Friday night with their last game being Tuesday, Veterans Day, here with non-conference Pleasant Hill.

Greenfield eeked by Carrollton Friday night 10-8 when they kicked a field goal for the difference with 1:20 remaining in the game.

This win put Winchester, Greenfield and Carrollton in to a three way tie for third place, each with a 2-3 record for the season.

The Warriors, under the able coaching of Head Coach Strauch, and his assistants, Holste, Denis and Terry Strauch when he was home from college, played good ball this season and provided the fans with a hustling, fighting type of sportsmanship which rightfully gained the support and admiration of all of fans spectators at each game.

75 Years Ago November 16, 1944 Surrounded by forty-four fully armed Germans, Captain William A. Bailey, commanding officer of a signal construction company, and his driver, Corp. Richard C. Halemeyer, were taken by surprise and the Germans taken prisoners.

While visiting Captain Bailey’s trailer office headquarters near the front, he was asked to tell the story of the episode. But his only answer was, “Just caught ‘em- that’s all,” and not a work more.

By comparing stories of the event which were volunteered by men of the company, it seems that Captain Bailey and Halemeyer were parked and sitting in their jeep when the Germans came out of the woods and surrounded the vehicle. It was either take them prisoners or be taken, so Captain Bailey

herded them back to camp.

Perhaps there is more to the story than that, but Captain Bailey is noncommittal and Corp. Halemeyer was away on a trip.

Captain Bailey’s home address is that of his mother, Mrs. Bennie W.B. Turner of Dyer, Tennessee, and Corp.

Halemeyer is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Fritz Halemeyer, of Golden Eagle, Illinois.

100 Years Ago November 13, 1919 Paul Anderson, son of Mr. and Mrs. G.L. Aderton of Hardin, and an overseas discharged soldier lad, who was in the thickest of the fray during the late war, being wounded and badly gassed, left Monday for Champaign, Ill, where he will enter the Agricultural School for a yea’s course. The government makes it possible for all discharged soldier boys, who suffered wounds in the world’s war, to enter this school and take up any branch of study in the Agricultural line they desire. The Government pays the tuition fee, furnishes the lad with the necessary books for his study, pays all transportation charges to the school from the home town, and gives the soldier taking advantage of this splendid work $80 per month for the year’s term. Paul was the second boy in Calhoun county to enlist in the service when war broke out between the United States and Germany.

State education improving; more work lies ahead

By PETER HANCOCK Capitol News Illinois A group that advocates for public education in Illinois released a report indicating the state has made some progress in improving educational outcomes over the past five years, but it still has a long way to go to achieve the goal of having 60 percent of all adults attaining some kind of collegelevel degree or certificate by 2025. â&#x20AC;&#x153;To achieve this goal, we must focus on the entire education continuum, birth through career, and work to ensure that all students are on track across the critical academic milestones that mark their road to postsecondary completion,â&#x20AC;? according to the report

by Advance Illinois.

The report, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The State Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re In 2019,â&#x20AC;? was released in midOctober. The group has since been

traveling the state to discuss the significance of its findings on local communities.

The report examines how the state performed on a wide range of educational outcome measures â&#x20AC;&#x201D; from kindergarten readiness to postsecondary completion â&#x20AC;&#x201D; in 2018 and in most cases compares that with 2013. It also shows how the state ranks with other states on those measures.

Perhaps the most troubling statistic in the report concerns kindergarten readiness, data for which became available only in 2018. According to the Illinois State Board of Education, only 26 percent of 5-year-old children in Illinois showed the social, emotional and academic skills needed to start kindergarten.

The report also indicated wide racial, ethnic and economic disparities in kindergarten readiness,

which is largely attributable to the availability of early childhood education programs in different communities. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Kindergarten readiness is critical,â&#x20AC;? the report states. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Performance gaps on key measures such as fourth-grade reading and eighth-grade math begin to take root much earlier â&#x20AC;&#x201D; during a childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first and most formative years. Kindergarten-ready students have an 82 percent chance of being academically on track and mastering key skills by age 11. Children who are not kindergarten-ready have a 45 percent chance of reaching proficiency.â&#x20AC;?

In other areas, Illinois made slight improvement over the fiveyear period. For example, 35 percent of fourth-grade students in 2018 met or exceeded state standards for reading skills, a key indicator of a studentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s future risk of

failing or dropping out of school.

That was up one percentage point from 2013.

But there were fewer students demonstrating mastery of eighthgrade math skills â&#x20AC;&#x201D; 32 percent in 2018, down from 36 percent in 2013.

Postsecondary enrollment among high school graduates rose during the period â&#x20AC;&#x201D; 53 percent in 2018 compared to 45 percent in 2013 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; but the report also noted that enrollment is down across the board at Illinois public colleges and universities, an indication that students are leaving the state to attend college.

Finally, the report noted that 45 percent of Illinois adults had an associate degree or higher, up from 43 percent in 2013 but still far short of the goal of 60 percent by 2025.

Advance Illinois gave credit to

the new Evidence-Based Funding formula the state adopted in 2017, which requires annual increases in K-12 education funding, with the bulk of that new money earmarked for the least well-funded districts.

But it also said inadequate funding remains an issue at all levels of public education, especially for low-income families. â&#x20AC;&#x153;From preschool to postsecondary, lack of funding and affordability are critical barriers for low-income residents,â&#x20AC;? the report states. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is troubling because early education determines outcomes in later school years, and postsecondary attainment remains key to employment and a living wage. If we lose students early, we risk losing them entirely. And if we fail to support postsecondary success, we damage the economic prospects of our students and our state.â&#x20AC;?
