Active cases in the county hit high over past week By JARAD JARMON Calhoun News-Herald

C

OVID-19 is traveling very quickly through the region if the reported numbers from each county are any indication. Calhoun County saw record-breaking numbers again in the past week. On Nov. 16, Calhoun Health Department officials reported 55 active cases in the county, the largest total of active cases Calhoun has had at one time, based on updates the health department has reported. Last week, that record was broken with a total number of 36 active cases in the county. Since, the number of active cases in the county has steadily gone up. On Monday, the health department announced 25 new cases, but in total, there were 55 active COVID-19 cases in the county as of that date. According to the Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH), 20.8 percent of positive tests were reported between No. 1-7. A target level for a county to have is eight percent or less. Anything more is considered a warning level for COVID19 transmission in the county.

In total, 138 have recovered from the virus, and Calhoun continues to be one of the few counties in the state without a COVID-19 reported death. Health department officials continue to urge people to continue adhering to guidelines regarding the virus. This includes wearing masks in public, watching one’s distance and washing hands.

State leaders consider stay-at-home order Currently, IDPH is reporting a total of 585,248 cases, including 10,779 deaths, in 102 counties in Illinois. The age of cases ranges from younger than one to older than 100 years. Within the past 24 hours, laboratories have reported 90,612 specimens for a total 9,161,453. As of Sunday night, 5,581 in Illinois were reported to be in the hospital with COVID-19. Of those, 1,144 patients were in the ICU, and 514 patients with COVID-19 were on ventilators. As the state once again reported a oneday high for COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations, Gov. JB Pritzker announced he would extend a temporary ban on evictions and Secretary of State Jesse White announced he would be closing driver services facilities. Following this growth in cases being seen across the state, health officials have

been encouraging people to stay home. Illinois residents are being urged to stay at home as much as possible for at least the next three weeks as the second wave of COVID-19 outbreaks continues to sweep across the state. The latest advisory from the IDPH does not represent a renewal of the stay-athome order that was in effect this spring, but Gov. JB Pritzker warned Thursday that if current trends continue, stricter mitigation orders could be in store. “With many community leaders choosing not to listen to the doctors, we are left with not many tools left in our toolbox to fight this,� Pritzker said during his daily COVID-19 briefing in Chicago. “The numbers don’t lie. If things don’t take a turn in the coming days, we will quickly reach the point when some form of a mandatory stay-at-home order is all that will be left.� So far, such a move has not been made. The latest guidelines urge all Illinois residents to stay at home as much as possible, leaving home only for work or school if they are not working or learning remotely, grocery shopping, visiting a doctor or getting a COVID-19 test.

DMV closes after worsening pandemic

Illinois Secretary of State Jesse White announced that driver services facilities statewide will be closed for in-person transactions effective Tuesday, Nov. 17, and will reopen on Monday, Dec. 7, because of the worsening COVID-19 pandemic. In an effort to reduce facility visits for in-person service, White has expanded online renewals for driver’s licenses and ID cards. Not everyone qualifies, particularly those who are required to pass a written or road test. For qualifying drivers, if the driver’s license or ID card expired between Feb. 1, 2020, and Jan. 31, 2021, then the individual will receive a letter with a unique PIN needed to renew online. This letter will be sent in December 2020 or January 2021. If the driver’s license or ID card expires after Feb. 1, 2021, the individual will receive the PIN letter approximately 90 days before the expiration date.

plenty of use by not only Basden, but the many citizens around Calhoun County. “A lot of people come here just to see the bridge, but I’ve had requests for graduation, wedding and family pictures,� Basden noted. Given the fact that numerous people have commended Basden for maintaining the bridge all these years, coupled with her and Richard’s appreciation for it, it comes as no surprise that the owners of Stone Bridge Valley have worked diligently to keep it standing and in good shape for years to come. “When we got this property in 1979, we cleaned out the creek and took all the trees and brush and stuff and we thought that was

enough to save the bridge but then we would have to do more,� Basden explained. “So maybe five years ago, it was looking bad again so we had some work done on it. Then, just this fall, Richard told me this bridge is needing some work again so we hired someone who went down to the foundation of it and made it more stable.� The Basdens have done enough work to keep the bridge sound and sturdy that they noticed the problem didn’t lie with just the age of the bridge itself. “One of the problems we had was in order to maintain its integrity, we actually had to cut down several big trees whose roots were so big they were impacting the stability

of the bridge,� Basden said. Basden, though, was adamant that she wanted the bridge to maintain its pastoral setting, so a balance had to be found that would provide for the future soundness of the bridge while keeping its surrounding location beautiful. “My problem was that I still wanted it to look like an old creek with a bridge. So, we’re having the creek straightened out some so it won’t have such an impact on it. When the water comes rushing down the creek, it’s windy, so it gets out of its banks and works hard on the bridge,� Basden explained. (See, BRIDGE, A2)

By JARAD JARMON Calhoun News-Herald Two bids have come in for Hardin’s water and wastewater systems, but a decision has yet to be made on the dense proposals on offer. It was at the Hardin Village Board meeting Oct. 11 where these bids were addressed. Village Clerk Danielle Hurley said the bids came from Illinois American Water and Liberty Utilities. Illinois American Water has soaked up the water utilities of numerous communities including most recently Jerseyville. At the time that sale was under discussion, some residents in Jerseyville warned of the unchecked nature of relinquishing control over the city’s water to a private entity. (See, WATER, A2)

There are still some issues with the Pfizer vaccine By BILL HOAGLAND We finally received some “good” news on Nov. 3 when we were told that we can expect an effective vaccine for COVID-19 within the next several months. On that date, Pfizer announced that results from Phase 3 of its testing for a new vaccine have been “favorable.” This conclusion (that the Pfizer vaccine appears to be working) was based on the fact that most, if not all, of the 94 volunteers in Phase 2 of the Pfizer tests who tested positive for the virus after receiving the vaccine had received the placebo or “fake” vaccine, not the “real” vaccine. In other words, after the Pfizer vaccine was administered to 44,000 volunteers, the only volunteers who have since been diagnosed with the coronavirus have been the volunteers who got the “fake” vaccine, not those who got the “real” vaccine. This suggests that the “real” Pfizer vaccine is effective. Close on the heels of the Pfizer vaccine is the Moderna vaccine, which was developed in the same manner as the Pfizer vaccine. According to Moderna, their vaccine is in Phase 3 and is also almost ready to be approved for distribution. We certainly needed that good news but we have a long way to go. And there are some issues about the new Pfizer and Moderna vaccines that perhaps got glossed over in our thirst for something positive. First of all, regardless of how many vaccine candidates eventually get approved for distribution,

we are looking at another six months before most of us can count on being vaccinated. There are many unanswered questions, such as whether a particular vaccine is effective over the long haul. Normally, that determination takes months or even years to resolve. Generally, you would want to wait at least a year or two to see if the antibodies developed from a particular vaccine are likely to remain effective for a reasonable period of time. But, we are in too big of a rush to wait even another six months before the first vaccinations can be approved. That is not to say that the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines are unsafe; during Phase 2 of the testings, a determination was made that these vaccines can generally be given safely to humans without significant, harmful side effects. Rather, the issue that might be otherwise clarified by waiting even another six months would be how long the vaccinations will remain effective, especially as to specific high-risk groups such as elderly patients. But there is another issue that has not received a lot of attention and it is this: the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines both involve revolutionary technology. In order to quickly create

an effective vaccine, Pfizer and Moderna developed a synthetic gene designed to trigger the development of antibodies to fight the coronavirus infection instead of using small doses of the virus itself. This new technology is referred to as “mRNA,” which is short for “messenger ribonucleic acid”. For an excellent (and fascinating) explanation of how this works, you can go to the National Human Genome Research Institute website, which can be found at “www.genome.gov”, and type in “mRNA.” As some commentators have noted, using a genomebased vaccine is “new and unproven technology;” it has never been used on humans before. Let’s just hope it works because as I see it, we may not have any other choice if we hope to get rid of this virus in 2021. So bring it on and get in line. ––––––––––––––––––– Q Bill Hoagland has practiced law in Alton for more than 50 years, but he has spent more than 70 years hunting, fishing and generally being in the great outdoors.

area toward an economic development project or public improvement project in the community — often related to the area where a TIF district is established. Village Attorney Bill Strang has said he sees the establishment of a TIF district as plausible before the end of the year, should it work out in Hardin. Village leaders, in the meeting, also reaffirmed an no-burn ordinance in the village in an interest to dissuade locals from doing so. “The issue of leaf burning came up, and we do have an ordinance that says that you cannot burn in the Village of Hardin,” Hurley said. Everybody is out wanting to burn their leaves, but it was addressed why that should not be done, outside of violating village

ordinances. “It affects a lot of people’s asthma and allergies,” Hurley said. “But a few years back, the EPA came and said, ‘ixnay on the burning’ as well.” Lastly in the meeting, it was announced that the board had been given a copy of an agreement with the Calhoun Community Pool Association to hand over control of the Hardin pool to the village, but only for the village’s namesake. “It is exactly what they have talked about in the past,” Hurley said. “The Village of Hardin will own the pool, but then (the association) will take full responsibility of it. That way they will be able to go after grants.” No action was taken, but the agreement may be addressed at the next village board meeting.

(Continued from A1) As was the case for Jerseyville, the substantial need for repairs or replacements to the Hardin water systems and the lack of funds to handle those repairs spurred interest in selling the water and wastewater systems in Hardin. Hurley said the board members will need to review the two proposals longer, and noted there might be a vote at the next meeting in a month. In the meeting as well, the comprehensive plan for a tax increment financing (TIF) district will be passed to the review committee. The comprehensive plan is part of the process in attempting to establish a TIF district. Still in early stages, village leaders are looking into establishing a TIF district. “All they are doing is taking the plan and having the committee look at it,” Hurley said. They are set to meet at 6 p.m. Nov. 17 via Zoom. Right now, PGAV Planners, who provide urban planning, financial development analysis, economic development planning and municipal advising, is heading up an independent study to figure out if a TIF district would be an ideal, or even potential, option for Hardin. Municipalities use TIF districts typically to divert future property tax revenue increases from a defined

She said, however, that she can’t take all the credit for this project. “My former husband and I own this together and this is something that he’s really taken hold of,” Basden said. “He’s the one that’s working with the workers to make sure it gets done.

ask my opinion, which is why we’re going with the creek rock,” Linda said with a laugh. The work on the bridge itself is completed as of now, but what remains is the work to the creek bed. Once that is complete, the bridge will be able to enjoy a little less abuse from the elements. Most folks in the Calhoun recognize the immense history that is preserved all around the county. From historic churches and log cabins to German cemeteries and little

stone bridges, there’s just so much that remains that will soon fall to the younger generations to care for. It’s truly something special, especially for a place like Calhoun County that’s already full of natural beauty. “I had several folks in the county, like the man who built my house for example, who are very appreciative that I was redoing the bridge,” Basden said. “He said to me that it is a piece of our history that will be gone if you let it.”

hese are trying times for most of us, and things can sometimes seem desperate. When the dark mood of despair descends upon us, things can seem hopeless and our efforts to make things better may seem futile. But it is important to realize that our moods affect how we see the world. Dark moods turn the whole world dark, and even affect our memories. It is hard to remember the good times when we’re feeling sad and hopeless. Keep in mind this distorting effect of our moods. We should also remember that our moods change, sometimes very quickly and for no apparent reason. Things will get better, often without us doing anything. Sometimes we need to seek solutions to our problems, but sometimes we can do nothing and let the problems resolve themselves. And if there is no way to resolve the problems you’re

having, turn them over to God. In moments of true despair, sometimes we just have to surrender to God, as it were, and let Him take over. In reality, God is in control and we often have very little control over the events in our life. Let go of the illusion of control and let God take over. –Christopher Simon

County intends to take land through eminent domain By LUCAS GARDNER Calhoun News-Herald Following a Calhoun Commissioners closed session meeting last Thursday, the decision to take acreage through eminent domain after failed attempts to purchase the property was made. County leaders offered residents Kimberly and Kenneth Roth $3,500 for 1.2 acres of property for public drainage improvement and construction grating at the intersection of Brims Road and Meppen Lane. According to county records, the two have not accepted the offer, therefore, county leaders have not been able to make a voluntary sale in private negotiation. County leaders wished to move forward with the acquisition of the 1.2 acres by means of eminent domain proceeding, according to a resolution detailing the intentions to acquire the land. Commissioners made the motion with a unanimous vote. The commissioners also touched on the restoration of the Cash Hollow Bridge. “Looking back over the history of what has been going on with the bridge, we actually issued an engineering contract and had preliminary plans done on this bridge back in 2002, and for whatever reason has since been dropped. But as part of that, some of the leg work for the preliminary design has been done,� Commissioner Kyle Godar said. With that, Godar suggested the commission move forward with the plans to reconstruct the bridge that Terry Hanson is concerned with. Assuming the commissioners move forward with the construction, it would start in the fall of 2022. In doing so, a request for an environmental survey must occur. The commission will have to purchase a “right of way� from Hanson because Hanson owns the property on which the new bridge will be constructed. Godar also suggests a dedication for a possible

“Paupleton Landing� on the bridge. The bridge has been used as a river access point, so Godar said that it is worth spending the money if it can be dedicated. Commissioner Doug Wilshetz assured Hanson that the contract could be negotiated so the access point would fall under the county’s liability umbrella should issues arise. For Godar to move forward with the decision, Hanson will have to make a commitment to approve of the dedication to the river and the easements. “I think it is a win-win for everybody,� Commissioner Larry Wieneke said. Following that, the commission discussed the zoning ordinance fees and building permits, which they say they will be enforcing more heavily. The commission believes people not buying building permits is becoming a serious problem. “Now people are going ahead and building, and if they get caught, they say, ‘Oh I’m sorry I didn’t know I needed it.’ And they come up and get the permit and that is going to continue unless there is a little bit of a bit there,� commissioner Wilshetz said. Other topics discussed in Thursday’s meeting included resignation of Janet Droege from the following locations: Calhoun County Planning Commission, Calhoun County Zoning Board and Illinois Valley Economic Development Board. The meeting also addressed a Liquor License’s amendment that reads as follows: “Licenses shall be for a period of one year, at the time of renewal or any other time requested by the Local Liquor Control Commissioner. Applicants shall provide proof of required liability insurance coverage. Applicants shall immediately notify the Local Liquor Control Commissioner of any lapsed or cancellation of coverage. All other terms and conditions of the Illinois Liquor Control Act shall remain in full force and application.�

Looking back NEWS FROM THE PAST 25 Years Ago November 29,1995 A collection of reminiscences, essays and poems is featured in a book, Acorns from an Oak Tree, written by former Calhoun County resident, Maries (Wilson) Freesmeyer. The book, published by Campbell Publications of Hardin, is available for sale at the Calhoun News office for $25.00. Freesmeyer is the daughter of the late Arvelia Jane (Hirst) Wilson, and William Silas Wilson. She grew up in the Indian Creek and Hamburg area and attended schools there, in Hardin and graduated from Jersey Township High School. She also attended Western State Teacher’s College at Macomb and was a teacher for 35 years. “Most of the stories and other articles in this book were written for writer’s workshops which I have attended each spring and autumn for several years,� Freesmeyer said. The book contains many stories about Calhoun County and residents of the area. Several of the articles in the book were entered in the annual contest sponsored by the Two Rivers Arts Council in Macomb and were later published in the Calhoun News. 50 Years Ago November 12, 1970 The November 3 election is history now. What is not history, however, is the out-

come of next month’s important statewide referendum on a proposed new constitution. Voters will be asked to return to the polls on December 15 to register “yes� or “no� votes on a state charter developed by delegates to the recently adjourned Sixth Illinois Constitutional Convention. As one who participated in those proceedings, and as on who deeply appreciated that opportunity, Alexander begins his final report to residents of Macoupin, Jersey, Calhoun, Madison and St. Clair counties. In upcoming reports he will present his views on proposed changes contained in the new document. The official explanation does not contain the usual arguments for and arguments against proposed constitutional changes. You should be cautioned, therefore, to read it with additional care. After a careful tally of the document’s pros and cons, Alexander personally has decided to vote against its ratification. His comments in future articles no doubt will reflect this judgement. “It is my sincere hope, however, that the election will be something more than an image contest.� “...Opponents of its acceptance may be labeled obstructionists and proponents of the status quo, among other things, who prefer a so-called

horse-and-buggy document written one hundred years ago. Few will mention, of course, that the national constitution was written almost two hundred years ago... 75 Years Ago November 29, 1945 A very important town meeting is to be held in the County Courtroom next Monday evening, December 3, at 8 p.m., to discuss final plans for erecting a memorial to the veterans of World War Two from the Hardin Precinct. Several meetings have already been held to consider this project; and, while those present were enthusiastic over the idea, attendance has been small. The opinions of more people are needed before plans can be completed. Your failure to attend may cause the project to fail from lack of support. Come to the meeting and make it succeed. 100 Years Ago November 18, 1920 New Girl at the Mueller Home Carl Mueller, a hustling young farmer of west of Hardin, was in town Tuesday morning wearing a smile as broad as his face. A baby girl, the first daughter, came to make her home with Mr. and Mrs. Mueller the evening before and this was the cause of Carl’s smile. He dropped by our “den� while in town and renewed his subscription to the News and now he is doubly happy.

his grandpa and later had dinner with them. Many thanks to both of them for all their help!

At times when we are hopeless, let them know through me and others that You are their hope, their strength and their comfort. Amen.

St. Mary’s students celebrate All Souls Day

Students at St. Mary’s School in Brussels celebrated the important Roman Catholic feast days of All Saints Day and All Souls Day, which fall on Nov. 1 and Nov. 2 every year, respectively. Students from first grade through eighth grade participated in a variety of age-appropriate activities for All Saints Day, which included researching and writing reports on the lives of the saints, making paper doll replicas of each student’s chosen saint of study and reading the stories of saints’ lives. To celebrate All Souls Day, on Nov. 2, all the students of St. Mary’s School walked to St. Mary’s Cemetery. While at the cemetery, the seventh and eighth-grade classes led the school in the recitation of the Rosary. Afterwards, the students were given time to walk around to view the gravestones of their loved ones and ancestors. Pictured is a student studying a stone at the cemetery.

St. Mary’s makes do despite funding concerns

By CONNOR ASHLOCK Calhoun News-Herald With COVID-19 restricting events for the better portion of a year now, organizations and institutions are finding it difficult to maintain the level of successful fundraising needed to pay for expenses, which includes parochial schools such as St. Norbert’s School in the St. Francis of Assissi Parish and St. Mary’s School in the Blessed Trinity Parish. Parents and faculty alike have put their heads together for months now to come up with mandatefriendly events that will help bolster the funds needed to operate those private schools in Calhoun County, coming up with some pretty interesting ideas to say the least, especially at St. Mary’s School, where they raised funds through a Halloween egg hunt. “We’re a tuition-based school, our enrollment is down and we rely on fundraising every year to keep our school functioning,� St. Mary’s Principal Becky Lorts said. “Because of COVID-19, we’re having to come up with different types of ideas this year in order to fundraise.� Normally, private schools such as St. Mary’s rely on events like auctions, raffles and picnics to help reach their yearly financial goals, but with pandemic mandates in place, those types of events weren’t able to happen this year. To help them reach their goals while still abiding by health restrictions, parents and faculty at St. Mary’s found other ways to fundraise this year, the most recent endeavor being a Krispy Kreme donut fundraiser, but just the other weekend, volunteers were able to take part in a fundraiser that put an interesting spin to the Halloween season. “It was a Halloween egg hunt,� Lorts said. “A couple parents came up with the idea, thinking that with everything going on with the virus, it would be a safe and doable event to help raise money for the school.� The fundraiser, although at first simply a fun way to make some extra money for the school, ended up being a tremendous emotional benefit to the community, especially as the colder months wear on and more people are finding themselves and their families in quarantine. “Right now, there’s a lot of families in quarantine, so many of those families participated in the event,� Lorts said. “The volunteers received a lot of families that were so happy they could provide this

because their kids weren’t able to go out trick-or-treating this year.� And although the kiddos more than likely had the time of their lives hunting for treats in their yards, it can be said that volunteers probably had the lion’s share of the fun. “For $15, you could purchase 24 candy-filled eggs and have them dropped off in your yard on the evening of Oct. 30 or the morning of Halloween. We had 39 sets of eggs sold between Brussels and as far north as Kampsville,� Lorts said. Loren and Julie Kulp, along with Georgia Klocke, were the volunteers who went out and hid the eggs throughout the county. “In addition to placing the eggs, Julie Kulp and Traci Caselton put together goodie bags that they personally donated to each child whose house they placed eggs at,� Lorts added. When all was said and done, the fundraiser garnered about $375 in profit, but the memory of it and the good that it did in this otherwise drabby year will more than likely be what remains in the minds of volunteers.

“We’re still hoping that we have a lot of the fundraisers that we’ve planned this year,� Lorts said. “We still really don’t know what’s going to happen with our biggest fundraiser– our chicken dinner benefit– which is in February. We know that it won’t be able to be held how it normally is, there’s just no way. We’re still going to do something with it, we just aren’t sure yet how we’ll do it.� Between the church picnics canceling in Calhoun County as well as those in Jersey County and elsewhere, it’s safe to say that those organizations that rely on fundraisers to help reach their yearly or long-term goals are definitely hurting. Parochial schools are among the throng of organizations such as historical societies, county fairs, small businesses, hospitals, care facilities and others that are suffering both directly and indirectly from the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. At this point, the fire to get through this point in our history is being fueled by the anticipation to make it to the day where masks, social distancing and crippling can-

Anniversary

Calhoun News-Herald

Hardin, Illinois

SOCIAL/CLASSIFIEDS/REAL ESTATE

Funks celebrate 50 years Michael and Linda Funk, formerly of Godfrey now living in Batchtown, celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary on Nov. 14, 2020. The two were wed Nov. 14, 1970. Michael Funk and the former Linda Dungy were married Nov. 14, 1970, at St. Barbara’s Catholic Church in Batchtown. Father Henry Mack was the officiant. Michael is still employed as a barber after 50 years. Linda is retired from banking after 50 years. Their children are Andrew (Farrah) Funk of Alton and Amanda (Adam) Cole of Godfrey. They have three grandchildren: Wyatt Cole, Claire Funk and Michael Funk. Mike and Linda are celebrating with a family dinner and a trip.

Brussels Girl Scouts send meals to local vets One of the Brussels Girl Scout Troop’s favorite community service projects is the annual Veteran’s Dinner and program. Normally, during this annual event, the scouts bake, cook and serve a traditional Thanksgiving meal to honor local veterans for their service to the nation. After working with the Calhoun Health Department, Troop 405 came up with a safe plan to have leaders and parent volunteers take over the meal prep and turn it into a carryout style meal for veterans to have delivered to their home or the option to drive through and receive it. The invitation went out back in October, and the Scouts received responses back from 44 veterans to participate in the annual meal. After recent rising numbers of virus cases in our area, the decision was made with a heavy heart to cancel the traditional Thanksgiving meal. Local girl scouts adapted and made the best of the situation even under difficult circumstances that even COVID can present. Thinking outside the box brought a whole new game plan to the table for honoring the well-deserving veterans of our area. It was decided to make care packages for a pre-packaged style meal that would be a safer option for our veterans. All levels of the Brussels troop including Daisies, Brownies, Juniors, Cadettes and Seniors proceeded with a plan to make USA mugs. The scouts put their hearts into making these special mugs at their last meeting on Nov. 3. Four of the older scouts were then able to come back out this past Monday, Nov. 9, and put together the meal care packages which included the keepsake red, while and blue mug for each of the 44 veterans. In order to keep contact down and remain cautious the patriotic care package totes that include an American Flag were delivered on Saturday, Nov. 14 by the Brussels Girl Scouts leaders.

Brussels Girl Scouts Leader Nancy Robeen drops off care package to veteran Gary Snyder Saturday as part of the local girl scouts program.

Leaders making deliveries were equipped with face masks and hand sanitizer as they made their way to the homes of the veterans who requested delivery. Those that signed up to pick up their care package were able to drop by St. Matthew’s Church Hall on Saturday and use social distancing to receive their care package. As the veteran’s project finished up, the scouts were making future plans to make fruit baskets again this year minus the Christmas caroling, for senior citizens in the community who are unable to get out much anymore. Those seniors who may enjoy a basket or those that would like to be added to the Veteran’s Day event for next year in 2021 contact one of the scout leaders, Nancy Robeen at 618-5408277, Diane Tepen at 618-946-2002 or Debbie Kamp at 883-2162 by Dec. 1.
