Water survey submissions slow to a trickle

By KRIS SCHEFFEL Calhoun News-Herald

T

here has been a decline in the number of surveys being submitted to Heneghan and Associates for the repairing of Hardin’s water mains, pipe valves and water hydrants. The surveys are crucial to acquiring the necessary grant money to fund the project which the Hardin Village Board agrees has been long overdue.

Hardin’s water system is in dire need of these repairs. The water mains have experienced numerous breaks

over the years, Emily Fortschneider, an engineering technician for Heneghan and Associates, said. “That puts people on boil orders,� she said. “That’s tough on infants and the elderly.�

Even schools, she said, have had to dismiss early because of a lack of water, and Hardin residents have raised concerns about the discoloration of the water. “Right now, their water system— it’s probably 65-plus years old,� she said. “You’re talking about cast iron water mains. It’s just not a durable, long-lasting material.�

Fortschneider addressed her concerns about the lack of survey submissions to the Hardin Village board during its Nov. 13 meeting. “So far we have gotten about 170

back, some of those are vacancies, so what that does is it helps your numbers,� Fortschneider said. “Instead of having to have 200 and some odd back from the 360, you only have to have 90 percent of the 300.� “We have 48 percent of them. We still need another 42 to get that 90 percent threshold... During the last two weeks, we have only gotten like ten surveys in, so it’s slowing down.�

The surveys measure the poverty rate in Hardin and are key in receiving grants and determining the level at which interest rates are set. There are three categories into which these rates can fall: market, intermediate and poverty. “You’re looking at an interest rate of 1.75 percent right now, depending on the poverty,� Fortschneider said.

“...based on the interest rate and where we would fall would determine what we would pay for when this is all done,� Mayor Dave Hurley said.

Hardin has qualified for the poverty rate before in 2016 when the board looked into repairing the water mains.

There is no reason, said Fortschneider, that they should not qualify again.

To reach the 90-percent threshold by the Dec. 1 deadline, Fortschneider and the board are looking for new ways to get the word out and encourage residents to respond. “We need to think about what the next step is,� she said. “We don’t want outrageous water rates to pay for this...

The surveys need to be done, because we want to lock in the lowest rate possible.�

Air Force veteran speaks at Brussels ceremony

By JARAD JARMON Calhoun News-Herald Debra Jordan of Golden Eagle and her family have never been strangers to military service.

Jordan, a retiree of the U.S. Air Force after 24 years of service, and her family have roughly 242 years of military service between them all. “I can proudly tell you that my family has a long tradition of military service starting in 1941,� she said. “It began with my mother’s brothers enlisting to fight during World War II, then continued during the Korean War when my father and his brother joined, the Vietnam War with my father-in-law, and then later with me, my husband, and our son(s).�

Others from her family who served included her sister, her brother, six of her cousins, her husband’s sister and brother and his brother’s wife.

It was from this perspective and as one of the women in the Air Force at a time when roles for women were just expanding that Jordan spoke Friday during the Veterans Day cer-

emony in the Brussels gym.

Jordan, a Brussels School Board member, was asked to speak at the event, organized by the Brussels High School Civics Club.

Among the list of performances and words of gratitude laden throughout the ceremony for local veterans that day, Jordan, a Brussels School Board member, spoke of the pride she feels for the men and women who served including the numerous front and center in the gym that day. “We all recognize the unique bond every veteran has with every other veteran no matter when or where or for long he or she served,� she said. “We are justifiably proud of all our brothers and sisters who have chosen to offer their service and their lives to the defense of the United States.

And, we are grateful for the recognition of that service you’ve given us today.�

Jordan made the plunge to serve Feb. 10, 1975, at the tail end of the Vietnam War. She noted she was never deployed to the country, though.

Duck numbers up from previous year Floods a double-edged sword for waterfowl

By KRIS SCHEFFEL Calhoun News-Herald An age-old debate has been reignited between duck hunters and conservationists following this year’s floods.

Some hunters believe that the flood has brought about positive changes, but conservationists say it has further hindered their ability to protect the millions of waterfowl that pass through the Mississippi Flyway, which includes Calhoun and Jersey coun-

ties.

Conservation scientist for the Audubon Center at Riverlands Tara Hohman said roughly 40 percent of waterfowl utilize the Mississippi flyway. “It’s pretty key to a lot of waterfowl populations,� she said.

Waterfowl ecologist for the Forbes Biological Station Aaron Yetter said he has counted, between Quincy and Grafton, over (See, DUCK, A3)

Bell honored for numerous community efforts in county

By JARAD JARMON Calhoun News-Herald Dr. Kermit Bell did not see it as some great feat to help solve needs in the county.

For him, it was simply about doing something that needed to be done. “It is not hard to do those things if you just stay with it,� Bell said.

Even still, Bell was appreciative when he learned he would be honored for the work he put into bettering and supporting the county.

Bell was honored for his service to the county on Saturday evening at Straight Home.

Beyond his service as an optometrist, Bell is credited for his instrumental role in the development of numerous health and fitness-related projects across the county.

And in each case, it came down to need for Bell. “I thought the county needed it,� he said. “I really

County takes first step on cannabis tax

By KRIS SCHEFFEL Calhoun News-Herald Tough decisions are being made by the Calhoun Commissioner’s regarding the state’s legalization of marijuana for recreational use.

During the Nov. 18 meeting, the commissioners OK’d the taxation of the sale of recreational cannabis in the county. This did not allow the sale of cannabis in the county, but the taxation of it should they decide to accept a dispensary in county lines in the future.

The county had two decisions to make regarding the legalization of marijuana. The first addresses the operation of facilities related to the production and sale of marijuana, such as dispensaries and farms, within the unincorporated areas.

Each municipality, including Hardin, Hamburg, Brussels, Kampsville and Batchtown, will have to make their own decision regarding these facilities as well. The county has no say over the presence of these facilities within the municipalities.

The county, however, does have the ability to determine whether or not to tax those facilities and at what rate. If the county decides to not tax the sale of marijuana, it will not receive any revenue from its sale. “You’ve got taxation,�

Chairman Larry Wieneke said. “You need to do that regardless.�

Attitudes towards the taxation and regulation of cannabis in Calhoun were mixed.

Sandy Teichmann, of the Calhoun County Health Department, voiced her own experiences with cannabis. “I’m a strong proponent of medical,â€? she said. “I’ve seen what it does. Recreational... I think you’re gonna have it in the county anyway. â€œâ€ŚI don’t find it to be

quite the evil that sometimes it’s considered. I’ve been to lots of health department type things... I think the big concern has always been ‘is it a gateway drug?’ I’ve been shown enough evidence that convinces me that it is not.

Do I personally want to see cannabis sold on the street in Hardin? Not particularly.�

Many of the commissioner’s agreed with the benefits medical marijuana can provide, and like Teichmann, they largely felt that the sale of recreational cannabis had no place within the county.

However, much of the control over cannabis within the county is not within the county’s control. “People can still go out and buy somewhere else and bring it in and smoke it,� Wieneke said. “We have no control over that. We do over whether we want to sell it here.�

Even the legalization, it was argued by Sheriff Bill Heffington and State’s Attorney Rick Ringhausen, would not see greater control over the illegal lacing of cannabis. “The problem I see with it: they are lacing it with cocaine, fentynal and heroine now,�

Heffington said.

The conversation shifted from one regarding regulation to one regarding messaging.

Teichmann raised concerns about what the decision allowing the sale of cannabis might say to children in Calhoun. “I do think you’re sending a message to the kids,� she said. “You have to think that the kids are looking up to the adults of Calhoun County...

And if you do allow the sale of it, you are basically saying you are behind it.�

Ringhausen and Heffington confirmed the presence of cases in which cannabis was being sold by elementary-aged (See, CANNABIS TAX, A2)

Calhoun News-Herald

OPINION

Hardin, Illinois

Outdoor Truths: Gary Miller

(Continued from A1) appreciation of the Bell was Ed Fanning, who shepherded the idea to honor Bell.

Fanning worked with Bell as an attorney on many of his projects in the community as well as worked with him in the Lion’s Club.

“We honor people when they have passed by showing up to the funeral home and paying respects to the family,” Fanning said. “Why should we not honor someone for everything they have done in their life while they are here. We can show them that we appreciate everything they have done.”

For Fanning, Bell was most deserving of this recognition.

“I cannot think of a single man that I know that is here in Calhoun today or in the history of Calhoun who has done more for this community than Dr. Bell… and we have a lot of good people in our community.”

Among a list of credits to his name, the 91-year-old retired optometrist was key in the creation of the community swimming pool in the county still used today; Bell’s Gym, a gym to affordably serve the community’s exercise needs; helipads in the county to allow EMS to airlift emergency-need patients to facilities outside the county; the tennis court next to Bell’s Gym; and the medical center that has since been sold to the village for a nominal price.

The medical center housed a physician and a dentist, who have since found other locations. With the funds garnered from the sale of the former medical center building, Bell donated to the local fire districts so they could, in turn, purchase AED defibrillator machines.

“All of these things would not have happened without

him,” Fanning said.

The way he carried his practice was deserving enough for the recognition, Fanning asserted.

“If you didn’t have money, if you were a poor family, he would get you glasses, he would get you contacts, provide your eye exams,” Family said.

He would let people pay what they could when they could, Fanning said. This was if he even sent a bill at all.

“I have always been amazed at everything he has done for our community,” Fanning said. “Sometimes you wait until it is too late to say Thank You. I didn’t want to do that.”

Jeff Bell, Kermit’s son who also spoke at the event Saturday, said he was not surprised when he heard interest in honoring his father.

“It is obvious to me that this would happen,” Jeff said.

“I could not be happier for my dad.”

Jeff said his father has always been communityminded.

“He has always been very invested in this community,” Jeff said. “He is just very community-focused. He is always trying to figure out how to help some underserved segment. When he saw kids without a place to go, a swimming pool seemed obvious. Tennis courts seemed obvious.”

“I couldn’t be more proud of my dad,” Jeff later added.

Despite all of his efforts in the community, Kermit said he still was most proud of his military service to the country. His family was a family that served, and he was no exception. He graduated from West Point in 1952, the first and only in the county to do so, and was active duty 24 years, retiring as a colonel in U.S. Army.

Cannibis tax (Continued from A1) students even occurring within the last two weeks. In doing so, they further affirmed the argument about the potential negative effects that could be brought about by further enabling the industry to exist in the county.

Commissioner Terry Woelfel presented another side of the argument, highlighting the need for additional revenue.

“I think we are always crying about not having enough money,” he said. “You know, it’s an opportunity for us. It’s a tax base that we could lose out on.”

Unlike taxation, a determination on the allowance of cannabis facilities will not need to be made until the beginning of the new year.

“There are two separate issues,” Wieneke said. “It’s wise to have (a tax) in place, I believe, whether we allow it or not.”

Commissioner Doug Wilschetz argued for the tabling of any measures, but a motion was made by Woelfel and shortly thereafter seconded. With the exception of Wilschetz, the motion for the taxation of cannabis sales was passed.

The county will have the authority to tax a maximum of three percent in the unincorporated areas and 3.75 percent in municipal areas.

What is left is the decisions of the county and municipality on potentially allowing for the sale of cannabis within its limits. Even then, those who wish to sell will have to obtain proper licensing— a process which the county may need to address in the future as well.

Also during the meeting: Q The commissioners discussed the vacation proceedings of Cache Hollow Bridge. It was determined that the cost of bridge repairs for the county would be about $400,000 in order to meet the required standards of the Illinois Department

of Transportation. Terry Hanson, who owns the only property beyond the bridge, would be responsible for the bridge once vacated, but would not be held to those same standards, and therefore, be able to make repairs at a fraction of the cost comparatively. At the recommendation of County Engineer Kyle Godar, a hearing has been set for Dec. 16 wherein a two-thirds vote will be needed to approve the vacation of the bridge.

Q The intergovernmental agreement with Hardin regarding the Parkinson property along French Street has been put on hold because of an interested buyer. The commissioner’s welcomed the interest in the property.

Q No appearance was made by Gary Booth regarding a liquor license fine.

Q The commissioner’s approved the writing of a general letter to permit the County Health Department to apply for any and all grants. Because the health department shared a Federal Employment Identification Number, they had been barred from doing so without written permission from the county.

Q The commissioner’s in a 2-3 split, voted against allowing the sale of alcohol on government property during Christmas in Calhoun.

Q The County Highway Department determined that there is over $1 million worth of materials and labor needed to fix the washed out roadways across the county.

Godar is currently applying for grant money and will be submitting project proposals to the Federal Emergency Management Agency for areas in which the damage was the result of the flood.

Q The commissioner’s also approved new office hours for the County Building Inspector, Chris Barrons. Her office hours will now be from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. on Wednesdays beginning in December.

“Were it left to me to decide whether we should have a government without newspapers, or newspapers without a government, I should not hesitate a moment to prefer the latter.”

-- Thomas Jefferson, 1787

People, like the sun, offer different aspects of same view As I have written many times before, when one is in a tree stand, he notices the most intricate things.

For hours on end a deer hunter is looking at the same view. He can only see so far in each direction. It never changes.

So, within his parameters, he must learn to look beyond what he would normally see and find intrigue in minutia.

These exercises remind me of days in a classroom when we were given a narrow subject and had to write a paper on it.

The only way I could ever achieve the word count was if I used every flowery adverb and adjective I knew. There is just so much you can say about a stapler or a candle. The same thing goes for when one is in a tree stand.

After a while, you quit looking at the tree and start counting the leaves. What I have noticed, however, is how everything changes as the sun changes locations.

When it first rises, it casts long shadows and illuminates only the east facing boundary.

As it goes higher the shadows get shorter and its light encompasses nearly everything. As it sets, another part of nature is revealed in a different and clearer way, and the long shadows return facing the opposite direction.

The placement of the sun really does bring out different aspects of the same view.

I’ve noticed that people are this way too. We are so different, and we look at things differently as well. Many of our differences cannot be explained by saying one is right and the other is wrong but instead by simply understanding that each of us sees things from a different perspective. I dare say the world each of us lives in would be a lot friendlier if we recognized this.

A perfect example is in our government.

When someone writes, “I don’t know how someone can be a Christian and be a republican,” and someone else writes, “I don’t know how someone can be a Christian and be a democrat;” a light should go

Water survey (Continued from A1) Hardin Village Clerk Danielle Hurley put forward a suggestion to place informational stickers on residents’ water bills as well as to put reminders in businesses around the village. The board OK’d both of these steps.

If these measures do not see the 90-percent threshold being met, Fortschneider said they will have to begin knocking on residents’ doors.

“I think a lot of the ones that don’t come back are from people in poverty, which hurts us,” Hurley said.

The surveys are completely confidential. For those with questions or concerns, Fortschneider and others at Heneghan and Associates are available to meet one on one in order to discuss and fill out the surveys.

Fortschneider and her associates can be contacted at 618-498-6418.

While those surveys are being submitted, the board has approved Heneghan and Associates to begin work on a preliminary engineering report as part of receiving rural development funding.

The report will collect data on the project area including who the project would benefit, how far the project is from infrastructure, environmental resources and population trends.

Once these reports have been submitted, Fortschneider said, rates will be locked in, which is important because they are at a historic low. Those funds can take up to five or six months to be granted after the preliminary report has been submitted.

“The benefit of approving that, (the preliminary engineering report), is that

(Continued from A1) At the time she joined the Air Force, women were part of what was known as the WAF, Women in the Air Force.

“As WAFs, we received much the same training as the men. We learned military law, discipline, and history.

We learned how to march and salute and how to follow orders,” she said.

“We learned how to conquer fear on the obstacle course and we became physically fit over weeks of running and exercise.”

A relic of the time, servicewomen also learned how to “tastefully apply makeup and how to sit like a lady,” she said. Typically after training, they served as office clerks or nurses or in other light-duty support jobs, Jordan said.

During her years of service, Jordan was among the very first women allowed to train as computer operators “back when computers were as big as

off that both are simply seeing things from a different point of view.

This doesn’t mean there are not some things that are right or wrong, but it does mean that somethings are based on how God built us and how our environment influenced our perspective. The Bible is not silent on this as well.

Paul informed the Roman Christians about this when he wrote; “Accept other believers who are weak in faith, and don’t argue with them about what they think is right or wrong. For instance, one person believes it’s all right to eat anything. But another believer with a sensitive conscience will eat only vegetables.

“Those who feel free to eat anything must not look down on those who don’t. And those who don’t eat certain foods must not condemn those who do, for God has accepted them.

Who are you to condemn someone else’s servants? Their own master will judge whether they stand or fall. And with the Lord’s help, they will stand and receive his approval.”

( R o m 14:1-4 NLT) There really are no two people who see everything the same.

We all get our views from a host of influences. They make each of us unique. But, we can only be unique if we have others around us to reveal the differences.

In other words, we need others to make us special. All of us do. That means that while we may disagree on some things, what brings us together is more important than what has the potential to separate us.

there’s so many things that we can do now while we’re waiting for these surveys to come in, so that way, when the surveys come in, we’re still moving forward...,” Fortschneider said.

The project is a costly one, but a necessary one that has been delayed for a number of years because of lack of available funds. By taking these steps, board members hoped to reduce those costs as much as possible and address the water issue.

During the Wednesday meeting, the potential purchasing of a new salt spreader for the village was discussed.

Chris Schulze of Hardin Public Works made a case for a stainless steel option.

“I’d rather go to a stainless than one that’s going to rust out on you in 10 to 12 years,” he said.

Currently, there are two salt spreaders in use, but they have seen a number of breakages. Schulze said he does believe they can make it through this winter with these two as he looks for quotes for a new one.

The Parkinson Property along French Street may have a potential buyer as well.

The village received word from the County Commissioner’s that the county would not be conducting the demolition on the property before selling it to the village. With that in mind, the Mayor Hurley said that it may be in the village’s best interest to go ahead and pay the $816 for the property and put the demolition out for bid themselves.

However, before any decisions could be made, a resident came forward and said he was interested in purchasing the property. He said he would like to keep the foundation, which he

believes is in good shape, and build on top of it. In doing so, he would take full responsibility of the property’s clean up.

Questions were raised about whether the property was one or two lots, and as to whether an old road running through the two lots remained village property.

The issue was tabled until more information could be gathered.

The parade route for Christmas in Calhoun was approved by the board.

The event will take place at 2 p.m. on Dec. 14 beginning at the grain elevator and making its way through Hardin’s streets.

The Village Board also received information about the potential implementation of a Tax Increment Financing (TIF) district in Hardin.

A TIF is a means by which areas in decline can promote new growth through the redevelopment of blighted properties or public projects. If implemented, the ordinance would last for 23 years, during which time, property taxes will be redirected to a special allocation fund for public and private projects.

Hardin had previously considered creating a TIF district a few years ago.

If the board makes the determination to go ahead with the implementation of a TIF, they will need to hire a consulting firm, have a feasibility survey done, draw up a comprehensive community plan and set up a TIF advisory committee.

More information about TIF and what impacts it could have on Hardin will be covered in a following issue of the Calhoun News-Herald.

small houses and very complicated to use,” she said. This field was one women were barred from before.

“The men in charge thought we’d have trouble carrying the 50 lb. boxes of paper needed to feed the giant printers of that time,” she said. “They thought we were weak. We had to prove we weren’t.”

Today, a women’s role in the military has become more vast and involved, she noted.

Finishing out her speech, Jordan emphasized the sacrifices the veterans made in service of the country.

“We are grateful for the recognition of that service you’ve given us today,” she said. “Thank you.”

During the ceremony, Brussels students expressed their gratitude toward the veterans through poems and short statements noting their sacrifices and the students’ gratitude toward it.

“The only reason we live in a coun-

try that is safe is because of you,” Brussels Student Tessa Clark said.

“Thank you for working hard every day to protect us.”

“Simply saying thank you will never be enough, but it is how we live our lives that we will show our love,” Student Mary Vogel said.

Other students chosen to speak at the ceremony included Emma Hagen, Jarred Herter and Macy Jacobs.

During the ceremony, the Brussels kindergarten class led the pledge of allegiance. The Brussels High School Band performed “The Star-Spangled Banner” and the Marches of the Armed Forces. St. Mary’s School students sang “America the Beautiful.” Two from the local Girl Scouts of America Troop folded the American flag at the event.

The ceremony was concluded with a 21 Gun Salute by the Legionnaires in the Ball Diamond.

New Medicare PremiumsAnnounced: As if 4-plus inches of snow on Nov. 11 wasn’t bad enough, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid have released Medicare premium and cost information for 2020.

For people who are new to Medicare after January 1, 2020, the Part B (medical) premium will start at $144.60 per month, up from $135.50 in 2019.

Some Medicare beneficiaries may not get the full increase in premium: this is called the “held harmless” provision.

That provision keeps many beneficiaries’ Part B premium increase from

exceeding the increase in their Social Security benefits if premiums are automatically deducted from benefits. The Part B deductible will increase from $185.00 in 2019 to $198.00 in 2020.

Generally, all Medicare beneficiaries pay this amount, unless they carry a Medicare Supplement policy Plan F or have their Medicare premiums paid by the State of Illinois (Medicare Savings Program).

Please note that your Medicare Part B or Part D (drug) premiums can be higher if you have higher income. This is called “IRMAA”, or the IncomeRelated Monthly Adjustment Amount.

Single beneficiaries who file a tax return with income less than or equal to $87,000, or who file join tax returns with income less than or equal to $174,000 won’t see an adjusted premium. Keep in mind that if you are new to Medicare in 2020, any IRMAA will be calculated from your 2018 tax return.

This year’s service will be officiated by Pastor Phil Grable (Batchtown Methodist) and the Reverend Paul Frazier (Hardin Presbyterian).

Refreshments and Fellowship will be available in the church basement immediately following the service.

This annual Ecumenical Thanksgiving Service began in the early 1980’s when Fr. Dennis Kollross of the northern Calhoun County Catholic churches and the Rev. Dan Johnson of the Presbyterian churches got together and hoped that such a service would be

Duck

(Continued from A1) 525,000 ducks on the Mississippi River this year.

Compared to last year, the population has grown substantially, he said.

It is 148 percent, nearly one and a half times larger than last year’s numbers, and it is 17 percent above the 10-year average.

However, these numbers are only a stepping stone for conservationists, whose focus is on restoring duck populations to their historic sizes witnessed over a hundred years ago.

“It is 50 percent down from 100 to 200 years ago,” Yetter said.

Wildlife biologist with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Ryan Swearingin echoed Yetter’s sentiment.

“Compared to historical times, we are trying to catch up to what it used to be,” he said.

Many hunters, such as Jeff Foiles, owner of Rok Outdoorz in Hardin, would agree that the duck populations are not what they used to be, but refuted the short term trends.

“I’m not sure I believe the numbers,” he said. “Where’re these ducks? We’re not seeing that many ducks and they’re saying they’re increasing and all that... I’m not seeing that.”

The way in which conservationists are attempting to bring back these populations has been a point of contention with hunters arguing that these attempts are hindering their ability to have a successful hunt.

“A duck moves by weather,” Foiles said. “It also moves by time-- if it’s that right time of the year... So, what happened was man has changed that so much by purposefully flooding crops like corn, beans, rice... What’s happened with this is that it’s slowed the migration down.”

Yetter and Swearingin agree that humans have harmed the waterfowl populations, not in providing too much food, but by largely eliminating the majority of a duck’s food sources.

“I would say, historically,

unique, special, and important for the religious community.

The services alternated between the Catholic and Presbyterian churches, with the Protestant minister preaching in the Catholic church and the Catholic priest preaching at the Presbyterian church. Each choir would sing a hymn and the offering collected would go to a specified charitable agency in Calhoun County.

Several years ago, the format was changed to allow each minister to offer a brief homily which made for a more diverse message and a faster-paced service. The collection at this year’s service will be once again designated for a charitable group in Calhoun County.

Donations of canned goods are also

there would be a lot more foods on the landscape,” Swearingin said. “Those grains aren’t there.”

Foiles has been working with the Flyway Federation, a nonprofit from Louisiana, which has argued against the purposeful flooding of fields, arguing that by providing these resources, ducks are less likely to migrate as early or as far south and are becoming nocturnal, feeding only at night.

“What happened is these ducks come down, and if there’s no corn in this field to eat, then they got to search for something to eat,” Foiles said. “(Now) they just pull into a buffet and start eating and they’re staying... and all this is part of what is holding up the ducks.”

“We’re stressing this– these birds migrate all over the nation,” Josh Goines, founder of the Flyway Federation, said.

“Everyone is being negatively impacted by these changes and practices.”

Yetter said that there are a number of factors influencing the migration of birds besides the availability of food.

He agrees that ducks have become nocturnal, but not because they no longer need to go far for food, but because they have learned where there are hunters.

“It only takes them a few days to find where the refuges are and where the hunters are,” he said. “It’s like walking into McDonald’s... if you go walking in and get hit in the face, how often would you go back?”

Moreover, Yetter argued that climate change is an enormous reason why waterfowl are no longer maintaining their historical migratory patterns. Yetter cites the Canadian Geese as an example of this impact, the disappearance of which has not gone unnoticed by hunters.

“Historically, Illinois and Missouri, your area, was known for Canadian Goose hunting,” Goines said.

“They don’t even make it to southern Illinois,” Yetter said referring to climate change.

encouraged at this service.

The term “ecumenical” often raises eyebrows, but simply means a desire to establish or promote unity among churches. This ecumenical service is a way for people of different Christian churches to join together in a single voice of praise and celebration.

Pastor Phil Grable spoke on this year’s Ecumenical Service, “We would like everyone to know that you are invited. This service is for all faiths, be they Catholic, Methodist, Lutheran, Presbyterian, Baptist, or even those that haven’t been to church in so long they can’t remember what they are. We want you to come out for this service and help us give thanks as a community of faith.”

“They are staying Wisconsin and Chicago... And it’s going to continue.”

The year is a dramatic example of a changing climate with warm temperatures extending into late fall and another hundred-year flood occurring less than five years from the last in December 2015.

For Foiles and the Flyway Federation, the flood, while devastating, has one positive in that duck clubs and refuges were unable to plant the crops before the fields were flooded.

“Luckily for us, 90 percent of these clubs got flooded out,” Foiles said. “This year, the ducks will get down here, they’ll feed and as soon as it freezes out, they’re gonna move on. They’re gonna migrate.”

Foiles says the season is already looking good for hunters, and maybe the example of why the practice of purposefully flooding fields needs to end.

“What ducks we have... they’re killing them pretty good,” he said. “I don’t think anybody’s slaughtering them, but they are killing them.”

For conservationists, the story is quite different.

“First of all, we had a spring flood,” Yetter said. “It delayed the mudflats from being exposed. We got hit with a double whammy: a spring and a fall flood.”

Nearly halfway through this year’s duck season, conservationists with Fish and Wildlife are even struggling to open stations along the Illinois and Mississippi rivers because of the waters.

What becomes apparent is that waterfowl populations in the Mississippi Flyway are not where they should be, that the habits of these waterfowl are being dramatically altered; however, the reasons behind these changes and what should be done about it are world’s apart for those invested.

For hunters, the changing migration patterns have changed the nature of the sport, making it a sport for those that can afford to be a member of a duck club or travel to the ducks

Married Robert Wille on February 20, 1965.

She is survived by daughter Patricia Ann Dawdy of Kampsville and grandchildren Joshua (Kristin) Dawdy of Hardin, Courtney Dawdy of Kampsville, Stephanie (Albert) Cooper of Everett, WA, great grandchild Aiden Cooper of Everett, WA, and seven cousins.

During her life, she worked as a secretary for lawyer Raymond Burroughs in Collinsville, as a secretary for Monsanto Co. in Sauget, IL, as a bookkeeper with Picture Island in which she was part owner, was co-owner of Hidden Valley Orchard,

north of Hardin, as a news reporter for the Calhoun News-Herold in Hardin, as a shipping coordinator for Billy-Bob Teeth Inc., also in Hardin, as a board secretary for the Calhoun Senior Center, and as secretary and treasurer for the Hardin Presbyterian Church.

themselves.

Foiles spoke from his own experience owning a duck club in Pike County in which he spent tens of thousands to flood his fields to attract the ducks.

“It’s a money deal,” Foiles said. “If you don’t got a lot of money, you’re not flooding the corn. It’s very expensive... It’s a rich man’s sport to have this flooded corn.”

For conservationists, on the other hand, hunters and duck clubs are key in combating the changes in the landscape and the impacts of climate change.

“We have drained over 95 percent of the wetlands in Illinois,” Yetter said. “We have to provide habitats... these hunters a lot of the time are the only ones providing habitats...

State and federal agencies can do a little, but they need hunters.”

Controlling Our Tongues F rom listening comes wisdom; from speaking, remorse often follows. Silence is rarely punished, whereas we are often chastened for what we say. Of course, there are times when it takes moral courage to speak up in the face of injustice, but even then, it is wise to consider carefully what we should say. We have all had the experience of speaking too hastily and then regretting it, but only rarely do we regret holding our tongues.

We simply cannot take back our words. Once spoken, they are there forever. But we can, if we hold our tongues and decide later that the thing really needs to be said, decide to say it, and to say it with caution, tact, and charity.

There is an old adage which says that before speaking we should consider if the thing is true, if it is necessary, and if it is done for the benefit of the other person, and if you can answer yes to all three, then say it, but consider carefully how best to do that. Of all the parts of the body, surely our tongues are the most unruly and difficult to control. A wellcontrolled tongue is a sign of a disciplined mind and keeping silent is often rewarded with the added benefit of learning something new. Resolve to be a better listener and a quiet observer rather than a loquacious babbler, a gossipmonger, or the person who feels that every silence must be filled with words.

Sorry, no Point News last week.

I woke up on Sunday morning with a terrible pain in shoulder and down left arm.

Of course, I first thought it was another problem with heart.

Dennis and Shelly Scherer had spent the weekend with me so call was made to my son-in-law Trevor, a CardioThoracic surgeon. He advised calling the ambulance and heading to St. Joseph’s Hospital in St. Charles.

Various tests were taken before I could finally have a shot of morphine. When dismissed, I accompanied daughter, Cyndi Axford, home to Chesterfield where I remained for several days.

Still have not got to bottom of problem and pain is still persistent.

It started out as a great weekend with John and Caleb Carnes and the Scherer’s here on Saturday. Enjoyed the Sons of the American Legion barbecue plate lunch that day and after indoor and outdoor jobs were accomplished, we enjoyed a great evening of visiting.

Thanks to everyone for all their help, Tony Franke and Amy Friedel for the ambulance ride, Cyndi who cleaned, cooked, etc. after bringing me home and to my wonderful neighbor Barb Hagen for getting my mail, feeding my cats and bringing me the delicious soup and dessert.

Our first winter storm of the season arrived on Monday with 2-1/2 to 3 inches of snow and dropping temperatures. On Tuesday, the high was 21 degrees and down to 9 that night. Thanks to a slight warm up, the snow did not last too long.

The Brussels Girl Scouts and their leaders, Nancy Robeen, Debbie Kamp and Lea Miller, along with the Brussels High School Honor Society and mothers of the girls once again honored the area veterans on Saturday, Nov. 9. The dinner and program was held at St. Matthew Hall with over 100 in attendance— what a wonderful gesture for them to do.

Marie Held spent 10 days recently with her daughter and family Barb and Kerry Ward in Taylorville. While there, she attended the Baptism of her great grandson, Henry Patrick Ward on Sunday, Nov. 3 at Our Lady of the Holy Spirit Catholic Church in Mount Zion.

Afterward his parents, Patrick and Rachel Ward, hosted a brunch at their home. Also in attendance was his grandparents Kerry and Barb Ward and Donna Beard.

On Saturday Nov. 9, the family of Joyce Meyer was all home to celebrate their mom’s birthday. There was lots of delicious food, and it was wonderful day together.

Then on Sunday, her friends Paula Herter, Annie Hagen, Kathy Fortschneider, Bernell Weigel and Velma Herter took her out to lunch and

enjoyed the afternoon with her.

Many more “happy ones�

Joyce.

On Wednesday, Jim and Sharon Held of Alton drove to Taylorville to visit with Barb Ward and Marie Held.

Later that day, they brought Marie home to Brussels.

Owen Hattemar and son Caleb of Gulf Shores, Alabama arrived at the home of Larry and Marcia Hattemar on Saturday, Nov. 9.

On Sunday, they were joined by Laurie and Ed Lehr, Kathy and Alan Friedel and Tyler Friedel and fiancĂŠe Adrianna Eberlin.

On Wednesday, Owen and Caleb joined Laurie and Ed Lehr in Grafton and enjoyed the gondola ride and lunch at Aerie’s Winery.

The following week, Caleb visited with friends in Edwardsville, and Owen helped Larry with various projects.

Then on Saturday, the 16th, they were back on the road to return to their homes in Gulf Shores.

The family is looking forward to their return, with the rest of the family, in June of 2020 to attend the wedding of Tyler Friedel and Adrianna Eberlin. Sounds like they all had a great week together.

On Saturday, Ben and Barb Hanneken hosted a buffet luncheon at the Point Pub in Brussels to celebrate their recent marriage. Many relatives and friends were in attendance for the afternoon.

Best wishes to the happy couple.

On Friday, the Brussels High School Civics Class hosted its annual Veteran’s Day Program in the Brussels Gym. Veterans and military members and their families were present for the morning.

Music was provided by the High School and Junior High School Bands, along with Brussels Grade School and St. Mary’s School. Refreshments were also served to all in attendance.

Toys for Tots campaign underway

Oct. 1 marked the first day on line applications are being accepted by the local Toys for Tots Campaign for Jersey, Greene, Calhoun, Northern Macoupin Counties and Southwestern School District.

Jerseyville serves as the Coordination and Distribution Center for the Toys for Tots Campaign for these locations. A “distribution point” has been established for each of the locations.

Christmas is a time of joy, happiness and goodwill. It is a time of giving and helping those who are less fortunate than ourselves, especially the children. For 71 years, one organization, the United States Marine Corps, has been a leader in looking after America’s less fortunate children at Christmas.

Webb Cunningham, a member of the Robert Windle Detachment No. 1031 of the Marine Corps League has been assigned by the Toys for Tots Foundation as the local Toys for Tots coordinator for Jersey, Greene, Calhoun, and Northern Macoupin Counties to include Southwestern School District. Collection points for monetary donations and toys drop off are being established and will be announced later.

Starting Oct. 1, a request for toys may be submitted on line at: jerseyville-il.toysfortots. org. The organization will do their best to satisfy requests for the less fortunate children within the service area; age newborn thru age 12.

The collection campaign will continue through Dec. 6.

What’s Happening

Friday, Nov. 22: Brussels American Legion Fish Fry, starting at 4:30 p.m.

Gun raffle drawing at 9 p.m.

ONGOING Veterans info request:

Since the publication of the 2011 version of the Calhoun County Historical Society cemetery book much additional data has been compiled in the constant update process.

A new section titled “Calhoun Veterans Interred Abroad” will be included in their honor and memory in the next edition.

The Society would appreciate receiving names, birth and death dates and military service information for family members of others.

Please submit information with name, address and phone number to the Society at P.O Box 46 Hardin, IL. 62047.

Contact Society president Emerson Retzer at 68-535 4945 as well as Society board members.

The toys will be distributed on Dec. 14 at the location you request on your application if possible. Presently, the distribution location for Greene County will be in Carrolton at 127 N Fifth St., please use the side door for pick up.

This year, there will be a greater need than we have ever experienced. The Marine Corps Toys for Tots Program truly believes that “every child deserves a Merry Christmas!” Let me assure you that, all toys and money collected remain in this area. Nothing is “shipped all over the country or overseas.”

To learn more about the Toy for Tots Program or to make a donation of time or money please contact the Toys for Tots Foundation at www.toysfortots.org.

Skateline from Morrison will be setting up in the Calhoun High School gym for a week of roller skating from Nov. 28 through Dec. 2. They will provide a full day of instruction on all the techniques necessary to become a good skater furnishing the roller skates. Only their roller skates will be allowed on the floor.

There will also be night skating from 7:00 - 9:00 p.m. Monday through Thursday, Nov. 28 through Dec. 1 for all ages.

The cost for the night skating will be $2.00 for two hours of fun.

Hope everyone will come and enjoy an evening of skating!

50 Years Ago November 20, 1969 Technical Sergeant Robert B. Droege, whose wife, Melba, is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Drew Maguire, Golden Eagle, is a member of the 2146th Communications Group that has earned the U.S. Air Force Outstanding Unit Award.

Sergeant Droege, an air traffic controller at Tadegu Airfield, Republic of Korea, will wear a distinctive service ribbon to mark his affiliation with the unit.

His unit was cited for its support of U.S. combat operations during the North Korean crisis early last year.

The Sergeant, a 1948 graduate of Brussels Community High School, served during the Korean War. He is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Aureus Droege.

75 Years Ago November 23, 1944 On Wednesday of last week, thirty-two members of the Brussels American Legion Post and five of the Ladies Auxiliary gathered at the home of Mrs. Lillie Kinder for an old time husking bee. They brought with the eleven teams and wagons.

Mrs. Kinder’s husband, Charles, died during the summer, and their only child, Charles, Jr., is serving with the Armed Forces somewhere in the European theatre of war, and the help situation being critical, it began to look like Mrs. Kinder would have trouble getting her corn crop gathered.

These good people realizing the situation, took matters in their own hands and by previous arrangement met at the Kinder Farm.

Those present were: Bill and Frank Hagen, Henry Odelehr, John Haug, Bryan Wallendorf, Frank Droege, Paul Kinder, John Brinkman, George Baecht, Ben Sagez, Ben Pohlman, Fred Jacobs, Albert Nolle, Herman Vogel, Ed Kinder, Don Kinder, Lee Sagez, Frank and Jim Kinder, Harry Jacobs, Anton Schulte, Mike Imming, G.R. Haug, Henry Pohlman, Joe Brinkm John Schmieder, Pearl Wieneke, John Hillen, Ernest Klemme, John Jacobs, Sullivan Kulp and Charles Murphy. Ladies present were Mrs. Grace Kinder, Rose Nolle, Marie Kinder, Lizzie Jacobs and Lorene Kulp, who served a delightful dinner to the men folks.

By three o’clock that day, the men had shucked and cribbed the 17 acre field of corn, fenced said field with electric wire fencing for a pasture, cleaned up the barn and barnlot and not one of them had faltered during the proceeding. Who said these “old soldiers” couldn’t take it? I imigine when Mrs. Kinder writes her soldier son and tells him what has happened, it will take a load off his mind, and who knows, maybe make him a better soldier.

100 Years Ago November 20, 1919 Stanley Gordon, who is carrying the mail on route one out of Hardin, during the vacation of the regular carrier Fred Sagez, came very nearly losing his life when his team became frightened coming down the Rocky Hill west of Hardin, Monday evening on his return trip to Hardin, and ran away.

The team started to run near the top of the hill and the driver did his best to check the frightened animals, but when they made the first turn in the road in front of the Am Watson residence the buggy was overturned and the driver thrown to the ground.

The two horses fell in a heap, one on top of the other, alongside of the road in a ditch. Mr. Gordon received a bad cut on the top of his head and one of the horses was badly bruised and cut. The buggy was a total wreck. It was indeed fortunate for the driver that he escaped with his life.
