By CONNOR ASHLOCK Calhoun News-Herald The Calhoun County Sheriff’s Department is welcoming a new man to the force, Deputy Nicolas McCall, who was sworn in over a week ago before departing for training at the police academy. Deputy McCall began his service to the people of Calhoun in June of this year, quickly showing himself to be just

the man that Sheriff Bill Heffington was looking for to help keep the county safe. “We started him in dispatch in June,� Heffington said. “You get a good feel for them in dispatch— courtesy and politeness when working with the public. When it came up that we were needing a deputy, he wanted to be one, and the opportunity arose, so we gave him a shot at it.� McCall, who is originally from Tennessee, was friends with a deputy

“Nick was a great dispatcher,� Heffington said. “He got familiar with the people of Calhoun, he handled things well, learned the layout of the county. He handles himself well, is polite and courteous, and that’s what I like in a deputy.� McCall joins the department with an impressive track record behind him as well. He served four years with the Fourth Infantry Division of the U.S. Army and subsequently as an armed security officer for Boeing in St. Louis, so it’s safe to say Calhoun is in good hands. McCall was sworn in by the Honorable Charles Burch in the Calhoun County Courthouse on Nov. 18 and left for the academy on Nov. 19. He will graduate in March 2021, upon which time he will commence his duties serving and protecting the citizens of Calhoun.

KIMBERLY A. KLAAS Calhoun residents waited with bated breath Nov. 17 to find out if the final count would culminate in a different outcome for the Calhoun commissioner race. However, while the totals may have changed, the conclusion did not. Kimberly A. Klaas edged out Deann Koster-Fester in a tight race for Larry Wieneke’s Calhoun commissioner seat. Wieneke has served as Calhoun commissioner for eight years, but opted not to run for another term. A few weeks ago, when the unofficial election totals were announced, it was revealed that the race for the commissioner seat may not be over. According to unofficial results, Republican Kimberly R. Klaas had a narrow lead over Independent Deann KosterFester in the fight for the Calhoun commissioners seat with 1,024 votes to KosterFester’s 1,022 votes. The race was highly contested, with three challengers vying for one seat including Klaas, Koster-Fester and Democrat Paul T. “Snow� Herkert, who garnered 710 votes. With only a two-vote lead and several ballots pending, there was an opening to see a change in the totals. There was a change, but it only lengthened the gap between Klaas and Fester, albeit only by a little bit. There were six ballots counted following the election — four provisional and two vote-by-mail. Three of those votes went to Klaas, two to Herkert and one to Koster-Fester. The official final totals are: Klaas, 1,027; Koster-Fester, 1,023 and Herkert, 712, making Klaas a new addition to the Calhoun Commissioners. (See, KLAAS, A9)

Kampsville Christmas tree brightens town By LUCAS GARDNER Calhoun News-Herald COVID-19 has made an effort to dampen people’s spirits, but with some holiday spirit, local Kampsville residents Marcia Agney and her husband, Bill, are bringing the joy of Christmas to Kampsville. “We have always loved Christmas, and we wanted to bring some joy to the town,� Marcia said. The Agneys, with the help of their son and neighbors, decided to infuse some Christmas spirit on the corner of Highway 100 in Kampsville with a christmas tree, some lights and props. With the village’s blessing, they did just that. In early November, they erected a Christmas tree, with hopes that the community would be inspired to decorate it. And they did. The tree stands 22 feet tall, and the tree is already filled with ornaments and offers much more in terms of Christmas cheer than just ornaments. “I was worried about even lighting it before Christmas but everybody wanted it lit before Thanksgiving,� Marcia said. The residents of Kampsville have donated gifts and other decorations for the tree, which is exactly Marcia Agney hoped for. “I just want to bring people together and feel like they are doing something together since things have been difficult with the flood and COVID,� she said.

Her plans go beyond the tree, though. She hopes to decorate the whole area, starting with the property next to the tree, followed by the pavilion and then on to the monument. Ultimately, she means to see all of Kampsville lit up. “I just want that Hallmark feeling. I want everyone to enjoy the tree and make everyone feel connected. We have had so many people add to it,â€? she said. “...There is nothing better than seeing a little kid’s eyes light up when they see the tree and the presents.â€? Among the decorations at the tree was a mailbox for letters to Santa Claus from local children. She also had a Santa-certified mailbox installed at her business. Agney is looking beyond the Christmas season, though. She’s hoping to get a committee together to do more events throughout the year and she hopes to make this tree a continuing attraction for Kampsville. “I would love to have a committee and do more things that small towns used to do‌ We have lots of ideas and more to come,â€? she said. After Christmas, the Agneys will be taking the tree down and saving the ornaments. If people want their ornaments back, they will need to contact Marcia Agney on Facebook, message her on the Facebook page, “Lite up the Village of Kampsville,â€? or go to her and her husband’s shop to pick them up.

U

their loved ones. This was a community acquired infection and is not related to a Long Term Care facility.� Following this announcement, health officials urged locals to follow COVID-19 guidelines. “Residents of Calhoun, we never want to have to make the above announcement again, so we are asking for your help. Please practice social distancing, wear a mask, wash your hands, take quarantine/isolation seriously, and think twice about attending a gathering,� the post read. As of Saturday, Nov. 21, there

were 76 active cases of the virus in the county. According to the health department, of the county’s 225 total positive cases. 146 have since recovered. The health department also started reporting on social media the number of close contacts impacted by COVID-19. There were 908 close contacts, or people who came in contact with a positive case and four new close contacts as of Nov. 21. According to their Saturday update, 239 are under monitoring. “Regardless of how you feel about this virus, people are getting very

sick, are being hospitalized, and are dying,� the Facebook post read. “Hospitals are full, and medical staff stretched to the limits. The people of Calhoun have always come together during hard times. It is in our blood, and it is a part of what makes this county so special. “It is up to us now to do everything we can to slow the spread of this pandemic. We have the power to turn this around, but we have to do this together! Let’s all do our part to keep ourselves and our families and friends safe.�

Thoughts From Down Under: Kris Scheffel

Can’t help thinking of home witnessing Australia virus response We are reaching one year since the first case of COVID-19 was recorded in December 2019. No one can deny the enormous strain that this year has put on our relationships, finances and communities; whether or not you have come to terms with the reality that is this virus. In January, I was waiting for my final connecting flight to Melbourne, Australia at San Francisco’s international airport. Sitting there, I watched as a group of 60-somethings donned their facemasks for an impromptu, airport selfie. Our relationship to the virus was distant; a thing that only existed in the over-crowded cities of East Asia and a perfect backdrop for a “fun� airport selfie. By March, the reality of the virus started to show itself in cities across the world, both for Americans and Australians. The first peak in Australia on March 24, saw 430 new daily cases, fueled primarily by the Ruby Princess outbreak. For comparison, on the same day, the U.S. saw 10,433 new daily cases with New York roughly two weeks into its State of Emergency. Two days later, Melbourne implemented the first of many restrictions during what has come to be known as the first wave. This first wave was a novel change from the daily hustle, which defined cities like Melbourne. Everyone retreated to their suburbs for what felt like a quaint vacation fueled by family movie nights and backyard camping trips. The evening news kept us up to date on the news from within the heart of the city, keeping tabs on the foot traffic through Flinders Street Station and showing footage of the now empty Collins and Elizabeth Streets. By June, it felt like we had done our part, and by month’s end, we realized we couldn’t be more wrong. On June 25, the Australian Defense Force was called into the state of Victoria to assist in what was a growing crisis within Melbourne and the surrounding region. Breaches in the hotel quarantine program had resulted in a new series of outbreaks, with the state seeing 108 daily new cases on Fourth of July; the first time since March Victoria had over 100 new cases. The following week saw border closures and the re-implementation of Stage 3 lockdown measures. It was a huge blow to the businesses and restaurants which had warmly welcomed guests back just weeks before, only to then be faced with lockdown once again. On July 30, 723 new cases were recorded in Victoria, the highest total up to that point, and the second-highest total overall. Any sense of normalcy came to an end by Aug. 2, when

OPINION

Hardin, Illinois

Melbourne went into stage four. Steep fines were implemented for anyone found to be further than five kilometers (3.1 miles) from their home, exercising for more than an hour a day, traveling for non-essential reasons or working outside the home without a permit. Media from around the world largely saw the lockdown as an overreaction with headlines in the Washington Post calling Victoria’s premier “dictator,� being “the politician responsible for inflicting upon [Melbourne] some of the most stringent pandemic-control measures on Earth.� For Andrews and his cabinet, these measures were difficult but necessary with a growing number of mystery cases across the state. The goal: record zero new cases across the state for two weeks. For the next four weeks, we stayed home and closely monitored the case numbers. Within two weeks, daily case numbers dropped into the 200s, and within three weeks, the low hundreds. By week four, we expected to receive word of easing restrictions, but frustrations quickly took hold when Andrews announced two additional weeks of stage four. At 115 days, we were experiencing one of the longest lockdowns yet seen in the course of this pandemic. Longer than that of New Zealand at 33 days, longer than the 58-day lockdown in Italy, and longer than Wuhan’s 58-day lockdown. Wednesday, Nov. 18, Victoria, a state in Australia, has recorded its 16th day of no new cases. For us, it is an enormous achievement and one which tested not only our patience but also our faith in our leaders and fellow citizens. It is difficult to see the number of cases in Jersey and Calhoun counties continue to grow, and it is an understatement to say I am worried. Being half a world away does not divorce me from the love I have for my community. As Illinois implements new restrictions, I want to stress the importance of keeping the faith -- faith in knowing that by doing your part, that you will have saved the lives of your friends, family, and neighbors. Melbourne now stands as a stark reminder that it can be done. We can now, in the famous words of Andrews, “get on the beers� and experience life again. As we do so, we do so cautiously, knowing just how quickly this virus can take hold. Melbournians continue to wear masks and socially distance, and we do so proudly as part of our civic duty. ––––––––––––––––––– Q .ULV 6FKHIIHO LV D IRUPHU UHSRUWHU IRU the Calhoun News-Herald and Jersey County Journal who grew up in Fieldon, and now lives LQ 0HOERXUQH D FLW\ RI PLOOLRQ SHRSOH LQ Australia.

We all need dogs during pandemic

Vivek Muirthy, MD, a former Surgeon General of the US, wrote a book earlier this year entitled “Together.� In the book, he discusses the fact that most humans desperately need ongoing contact with other humans in order to remain both physically and mentally healthy. The book was written before the COVID19 pandemic started. You probably already knew that humans generally need human contact just to stay “sane,� but things have certainly become much worse in the past ten months, haven’t they? Many, many people are having to deal with depression for the first time in their lives and much of this directly relates to the fact that we are prohibited from socializing with other humans because of the pandemic. As I am writing this column, local authorities are considering the imposition of additional restrictions on our activities with other humans. So it is likely that our collective national mental health is going to get a lot worse before it gets better. From my perspective, as an owner of five dogs, you could not have a better time to have a dog to hang with. No, they won’t laugh at your jokes. No, they can’t share stories about the “good old days.� And no, they can’t offer sage advice about the stock

Who else couldn’t care less as to whether you really need to lose some weight? Who else will never ever want to talk politics? And who else always seems to have a smile on their face? That’s right—your loyal mutt. Sure, you get some baggage along with this unique friendship, such as wet spots on the living room rug both early in the relationship and sadly, again toward the end of that relationship. Or the missing pat of butter you were just going to cook with. Or man’s best friend taking that daily roll in whatever looks really, really nasty before getting in your car to go home. See

Outdoor Truths: Gary Miller

Just be who you are without adding demands to it I’m not a very good deer hunter. Oh, I’ve harvested several animals over the years, and I have had my share of good days, but I’m really not very good. I scout. I plant fields. I put out cameras. I read, plan and practice with all my weapons. I have done these things for years. In fact, I have done these things for so long, I have a good test sample. The data says this: I’m not a very good hunter. Sometimes I miss the shot or make a bad one. Sometimes I clank my bow against my stand which sends the buck into the next county. I have also been known to be holding a honeybun instead of my bow when that deer shows up. It’s true. The evidence is not in my favor. I’m not sure, however, if I am able to change or if this is exactly who I am. I wonder if I might experience a lot more enjoyment, if I would just quit trying so hard to do and be something I am unable to do or be. I wonder if I just need to confess I am a hunter, but not add another demand with it. I’m already feeling more free. I’m being reminded right now of a conclusion I came to several years ago that transformed my life. My conclusion was this: I was not a very good Chris-

tian. Oh, I had my moments. I had some successes and some good days, but I was really not very good. I tried to continually read, pray, give, attended church and practice other disciplines. I tried for years. But my life was one Christian miss after another – one broken promise after another – one attempt to get it right after another. And it seemed the more I tried, the worse my misses were magnified until that day I reached my end, looked up to the heavens, and yelled these words to God, “I can’t do it!� And, he yelled back, “You big dummy! You were never supposed to be able to do it!� Well not exactly those words and not exactly audibly, but the results were the same. And I was stunned. It was true. Soon thereafter, I was reading where the Apostle Paul came to the same conclusion. Here’s how he put it: “For when I tried to keep the law, it condemned me. So I died to the law—I stopped trying to meet all its requirements—so that I might live for God.� (Gal 2:19 NLT) He basically said, “I can’t do it, so I’m gonna quit trying to do everything I can’t do, so I can just live my life as a person who has been transformed

by the grace of God.� Right after that statement, he confessed he was crucified with Christ. Dead, yet he lives because Christ is now living in him. And he quit trying to do in his flesh, what could only be done by the Spirit. The greatest day in your life will be when you make the same confession Paul did— and may I say that I did as well. Give up. Realize you are unable to keep all the rules you thought you had to keep. And just live, as one who has received grace that paid the price for your sins so you would not have to. Die to trying. Die to the law. And simply invite Christ to live his life through you. Simply be a follower of Christ, without adding another demand with it. I hope you are already feeling more free. ––––––––––––––––––– Q *DU\ KDV WKUHH ERRNV WKDW DUH FRPSLODWLRQV RI WKH DUWLFOHV he has written for nearly 15 \HDUV +H DOVR VSHDNV DW JDPH dinners and men’s groups for FKXUFKHV DQG DVVRFLDWLRQV <RX FDQ FRQWDFW KLP DW JDU\#RXWdoortruths.org.

Rotary donates drug drop-off box to Calhoun Members of the Jerseyville Rotary Club, President Laura Dugas, Pam Rice Weber and Dr. John Houseman presented Sheriff William Heffington with a drug drop-off box for residents of Calhoun County. To help keep pharmaceutical drugs off the streets and out of the hands of individuals that might abuse them, this drop-off box will serve to give residents a safe place to dispose of their old, outdated or unused medications. Flushing medications down the toilet is not a safe alternative to disposal, as it has been shown that medications can and do contaminate surface and groundwater supplies. Wastewater treatment plants are incapable of filtering out pharmaceuticals from the water supply, passing it along to families in their drinking water. Also, medications that end up in landfills can leach into

surrounding surface groundwater. The drug drop-off box is free for residents. No liquids or needles are accepted. The Jerseyville Rotary Club is a service organization that is celebrating its 67th year of providing service projects to local and world communities. For more information on the drug drop-off box, contact Sheriff Bill Heffington at 618-576-9041. To learn more about Rotary International, go to www.rotary.org or www.jerseyvillerotary. com.

Calhoun Ambulance to purchase LUCAS devices

By CONNOR ASHLOCK Calhoun News-Herald The county commissioners met on Nov. 16 at the Marvin Richter Building, where conversation largely centered around the Calhoun Volunteer Ambulance organization’s desire to purchase at least one LUCAS device for use in cardiopulmonary-centered situations. The LUCAS device, which stands for Lund University Cardiopulmonary Assist System, is utilized for automated chest compressions, which means that it will free up valuable resources like time and manpower in life-threatening situations. The issue, though, is funding the device. Wanda Blackwell was available at the meeting to address the commissioners over the matter. “One person can strap this on another person and compress at the right depth and rhythm and does better than four people having to switch out during chest compressions,” Blackwell explained. Blackwell also shared that one LUCAS device alone can cost about $15,000, but the company Stryker, a medical technologies corporation based in Michigan, has a device available for about $12,500. “This has always been on our wish list and would be so handy because we’ve been aiding many patients with chest pain the past few months,” Blackwell said. The volunteer ambulance organization is hoping to fund the expense through CARES Act funds. The CARES Act, which stands for Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security, was passed by Congress earlier this year and reserves funds to reimburse communities for their COVID-related expenses. Calhoun County is expected to receive approximately $136,000 in CARES Act funds, and could possibly be eligible to receive more funds. The expected funds will be allocated throughout county services, but for the volunteer ambulance to even qualify

for reimbursement, they must first purchase the equipment. Blackwell shared that they’d prefer to have two devices, one for the south end ambulance and another for the north end ambulance, but reimbursement through the CARES Act is not guaranteed. Still, the board agreed that these devices would be most beneficial to the citizens of Calhoun County, especially since it could mean the difference between life and death, but the fact remains that medical equipment is expensive and has to be paid for. Other medical facilities in the region have purchased LUCAS devices and feel somewhat confident that they’ll be reimbursed, including Boyd Memorial Hospital and Jersey Community Hospital, but that still doesn’t provide a guarantee that the Calhoun Volunteer Ambulance organization will be reimbursed. Discussion evolved into alterations to the organization’s budget to provide for the purchase of at least one device, which was thought to be doable. After discussing how a particular line item might be re-allocated and consideration of other sources of funding, the ambulance crew that was present at the meeting, along with the commissioners, decided to go through with the purchase. It was brought to motion that the ambulance crew could purchase two LUCAS devices and request reimbursement through the CARES Act. Also at the meeting, Chairman Larry Wieneke, who has dedicated eight years to being a Calhoun Commissioner, publicly thanked the courthouse staff, Marvin Richter Building staff, the highway department, his fellow commissioners and the people of Calhoun County, in addition to several more organizations between the rivers, for permitting him the opportunity to serve his home county in local government. Wieneke will be stepping down from the commission as his term comes to a close in several weeks.

25 Years Ago December 6, 1995 Anyone interested in participating in the CEC’s spring production of Cinderella is invited to attend an organizational meeting, December 10, at 7 p.m., at the Hardin Grade School. They are looking for people not only interested in singing and acting, but also those willing to help out back stage building and painting sets, organizing props or helping sew costumes. 50 Years Ago November 19, 1970 Eldon Twichell, Teacher of the Year nominee from Calhoun County, was called to Springfield on November 10 to appear before a committee that was appointed to select the Illinois Teacher of the Year for National Competition. It is no surprise the Eldon was called before the final selection committee for an interview. He is held in the highest esteem by his fellow teachers, and the people of this community. He has long been a favorite teacher of those students who have been in his classes. Eldon received his B.S. degree from the University of Illinois, and his M.S. degree from the University of Wisconsin. He is now in his fourteenth year of teaching, and all but one year have been in Calhoun County. 75 Years Ago December 6, 1945 A crop of 98.01 bushels per acre won the corn growing championship of Calhoun

County in the 1945 National DeKalb Hybrid Corn Growing Contest, it was learned this week. Odelehr Bros. of Brussels are the corn growers who have made this outstanding yield in this locality in competition in which thousands of farmers from 19 principal corn producing states participated, according to an official of this biggest corn yield competition. Odelehr Bros. and several other farmers in this county certainly produced more than their fair share of another three billion bushel crop. The county winner’s corn was grown by Hybrid No. 847. His yield was checked by disinterested parties. In recognition of his achievement, the winner is being presented with an appropriate plaque by the DeKalb Agricultural Association at an achievement banquet which will be held at Jacksonville early in December. Other big yields recorded were made by Carl Depper, Golden Eagle, 74.82; John W. Caselton, Batchtown, 72.85. 100 Years Ago November 25, 1920 Thanksgiving Day The Internal Revenue Department has decided that the head of every family may make as high as 200 gallons of cider or fruit juice containing one half of one percent of alcohol and no more, when it is strictly for use in the home. Up to 200 gallons, the cider is freed from the payment of a tax, but if more than that amount is made, the producer must pay the tax on the excess and give bond. If the cider is intoxicating, or becomes so later on, it will be subject to the ordinary tax.

“I will give thanks to you, Lord, with all my heart; I will tell of all your wonderful deeds.” Psalm 9:1 NIV

W

e should give thanks at all times, and perhaps most of all when we can’t think of anything to be thankful for. When we’re feeling sad and lonely it can be difficult to imagine what there is to be thankful for, but the sentiment of gratitude is often what brings about the change of attitude. It may be a platitude that the attitude of gratitude determines your emotional altitude, and yet it really is true. That is, whether you’re feeling high or low is often linked directly to how thankful you are. And sometimes there is objectively not much to be thankful for, and we just have to be thankful for the good things that will come our way in the future. No matter how low our mood, we know that moods are

bound to change. Fear and anger, for instance, consume a lot of energy, and soon give way to a tired state that just can’t keep the fear and anger going. And once we’re in that more relaxed state, we can give thanks and try to keep the more pleasant mood going. Thank God for every new day, and for the opportunity to do good work and to love your fellow man. Truly there is much to be thankful for. –Christopher Simon

Brussels schools likely to still utilize snow days By JARAD JARMON Calhoun News-Herald Systems now in place to more easily implement remote learning days have inspired a question among school staff, parents, students and even state leaders: Is there a need for snow days? That was a point of discussion during the Brussels School Board meeting Nov. 17. Brussels Superintendent Mark Martin said the state is allowing and encouraging districts to use remote learning instead of having snow days. The rub, though, is that if they did, they would need to provide lunch to the students on these days. Martin said he and cooking staff in the district took issue with the notion such a stipulation made: That it is too dangerous on roads for students and staff to go to school — except if one is a cook. “I am not thrilled with that,” Martin said. “...I don’t want to put my cafeteria staff in danger.” From a logistical perspective, it also does not seem to work out. Martin said it raises questions about how much to prepare. What if the weather is projected to be bad for three days, but it only turns out to

be one? Will that food be wasted? If it is done dayby-day, it calls on the cooking staff to go in when it is considered too dangerous for others to go in. Among the board there was also general opposition to not just having snow days — stressing how big a deal such days are for these students. Martin said there was general opposition to not simply utilizing snow days as they normally would. Also in the meeting, the board members OK’d, in a 4-2 vote, the presentation of the projected tax levy with an understanding that members wanted to look at it further before the district’s tax levy is approved. A tax levy is what tax collecting entities like the school district ask for in terms of property taxes. The projected tax levy increase is 4.9 percent, currently, but because the equalized assessed value (EAV), which impacts what the district would be extended, or actually given, appears to be positive. School leaders might be looking for a lower percent increase, though, because of positive EAV projections. It will be decided at the next school board meeting in December.

GEMINI May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, it may be time to have a conversation with your family about resources or finances. The conversation may be tedious, but it is absolutely necessary.

VIRGO Aug 24/Sept 22 Family obligations leave you with little free time for rest and recreation for the next several days, Virgo. It can be sobering to give up the fun, but duty calls for a little while.

Christmas in Calhoun in-person festivities canceled By JARAD JARMON Calhoun New-Herald Some of the Christmas festivities Calhoun residents might have been excited to take part in have been shuttered this season. According to a post on the Christmas in Calhoun Facebook page, the event has been canceled. “It is with a heavy heart that we have to announce that the in

person Christmas in Calhoun celebration on Saturday December 12th is cancelled,� the post reads. “We feel this is best for the safety of our residents and community.� Organizers are not leaving it at that, though. They are calling on people to stay tuned for future virtual festivities in the works. “Don’t get too bummed out though, we have some good family fun planned for you virtually or things you can do and remain socially distanced to keep you in the holiday spirit,� the post read.

(Continued from A1) “With the race being so close, I was surprised with the win,� Klaas said. "The past 14 days, I prepared myself that with such a small margin, it truly could go either way." As a mother of four, Klaas celebrated with rest. “I celebrated by attending the monthly Brussels school board meeting and going to bed when I got home," she said. “As a working mom of four, my job and kiddos required my well-rested self and full attention the next day. I did reach out to family and friends and let them know the outcome!� As previously reported, Klaas, a Brussels school board member, registered nurse and former Miss Calhoun County, is a native of Kampsville but currently lives with her husband, Dusty, in Batchtown with their children. “I am so blessed to have been elected and so eager to serve as a member of the

board,� Klaas said. “Thank you from the bottom of my heart to everyone!� It was an “exhilarating� campaign for Klaas. “I knew from the moment I saw all of the yard signs and received postcards in the mail that each candidate running put forth a great effort,� Klaas said. “This showed in the polls. It was so great to see the residents of Calhoun show such an interest in the race, and it's amazing to see the number of community members that voted. I think the closeness of the race showed that county residents were invested in the outcome, have a great amount of concern for the community and truly every vote counts.� For Klaas, the game plan now is to get sworn in and attend her first meeting later in December. Notably, Koster-Fester can call for a recount within five days of certification of the results. Should Koster-Fester opt

to exercise this option, which would be within her rights, only 25 percent -- two election precincts -- would be recounted, Calhoun County Clerk Rita Hagen explained. It would be up to Koster-Fester which precincts to recount and whether to do so by machine or by hand. Either option comes with a different fee Koster-Fester would be responsible for paying, should she elect to call for the recount. Should the recount change the results of the election, it would not simply mean that Koster-Fester was victorious. She would then need to go to the courts with the information and go from there. As of Friday, Nov. 20, Koster-Fester had not chosen to comment on whether she would not call for a recount. Even if a recount isn’t called, Hagen noted the county clerk’s office will be busy filing reports on the election and certifying the election, along with preparing for the next election.
