Calhoun County Commissioners prohibit recreational cannabis

By KRIS SCHEFFEL Calhoun News-Herald The Calhoun County Commissioners have reached their final decision on whether or not to allow recreational cannabis operations within unincorporated areas of the county at a Thursday meeting.

In a unanimous decision, the commissioners voted to ban its distribution, housing or cultivation outside of the municipal areas.

On Jan. 1, 2020, recreational cannabis will be legal to use across the state of Illinois. However, local counties and municipalities were tasked with determining whether to permit

facilities that would grow, house or sell the drug. In other words, the county along with Hardin, Hamburg, Brussels, Kampsville and Batchtown will each need to make a separate decision on the matter as it pertains to their area limits.

The county also had to make the determination as to whether or not it would seek to tax any local sales of recreational marijuana. Even if the county decided to ban the operation of recreational marijuana facilities, it could still opt to collect a tax in the event that a municipality permitted these facilities.

At a prior meeting, the commissioners voted to do just that in the

event that the municipalities passed ordinances allowing recreational marijuana facilities.

During this, and earlier meetings, the commissioners heard from the public and discussed the impacts permitting recreational marijuana operations within the county would have.

At the previous commissioners meeting, Sandy Teichmann, interim administrator for the Calhoun County Health Department, said she is a strong proponent of medical marijuana.

However, while she did not see there being strong evidence for marijuana as a gateway drug, she did have concerns about the message the county would be sending if it permitted its growth

and sale.

Commissioner Doug Wilschetz reiterated Teichmann’s point during the Dec. 5 meeting. “For me personally, it goes back to what we discussed, and what Sandy from the health department mentioned,� Wilschetz said. “It’s about the message you’re trying to send to our youth and our community.�

The commissioners were presented with a possible ordinance by State’s Attorney Rick Ringhause, which would prohibit recreational cannabis business establishments. “For me, I think we’re sending the

Brussels HS hosts first-ever scholastic bowl tournament

By KRIS SCHEFFEL Calhoun News-Herald

B

uzzers were at the ready at Brussels High School.

On Tuesday, Dec. 3, the high school held its first ever scholastic bowl tournament, playing against Pittsfield High School.

Scholastic bowl is a game in which two teams of five players go head to head over knowledge questions that can range from topics such as science and geography to pop culture and sports. Questions are read aloud by a moderator who may be interrupted by the buzzer systems used to signal the student’s readiness to answer the question. Students not only have to have a wide breadth of knowledge, but also be able to recall this knowledge quickly in order to score points for their team.

This is the first full season of scholastic bowl for Brussels High School, which did not even have a team prior to spring of this year. “I had a kid wanting to do it that had transferred from Calhoun to Brussels,�

Coach Keishia Hartle said.

After getting approval from the school board, the team became official and began competing last spring. “The school has been so supportive of it,� Hartle said.

Hartle said that it has become enormously popular amongst the students with

ments for recipients of Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), also known as food stamps.

Calhoun harvest out largely Illinois farmers behind schedule this year

By JARAD JARMON Calhoun News Herald As the month of December arrived, many Illinois farmers were still working to harvest their corn and soybeans — the state’s two largest field crops — and agriculture officials are anticipating one of the smallest harvests in recent years.

Like those across the state, Calhoun farmers were set back this year, but the situation locally does not appear as dire.

Historic rainfalls in the county and the state at the early part of the year delayed planting and in turn delayed the harvest months later.

Even still, the harvest, at least in the county, appeared to be on

par with previous years all things considered - something that turns out cannot be said for the state as a whole.

Stacy Baalman, office manager at the Jersey County Grain Co. Hardin elevator, said there was certainly a late start and subsequent late finish this year for local farmers. They are usually wrapped up before Thanksgiving.

But, the harvest numbers were “average� this year, she said, although the state of the grain was less than ideal.

Baalman noted the grain was particularly wet and in need of a lot of drying. That was expected though. “We knew we were going to be doing lots of drying,� Baalman said.

(See, SCHOLASTIC, A2)

She said the harvest, at least the grain that had gone to the elevator— has been well and dried by now. “We are pretty much wrapped up,� she said.

Also, the county appeared to be free of major losses from weather events like heavy gusts, according to local accounts of the season - a struggle farmers and other counties experienced this year.

From a statewide perspective, the harvest was a poor one this year.

As of Nov. 24, only about 88 percent of corn acres in Illinois had been harvested, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, down from 100 percent at the same (See, HARVEST, A4)

Outdoor Truths: Gary Miller

Second chances are available in deer hunting as in life My deer season has not been anything to write home about.

One buck in Kentucky that never gave me a chance to draw on, and one buck in Missouri that I shot and never found, is all I can tell you about. But if you don’t know, the best season is coming up.

It’s the second rut. Don’t tell anybody.

Yes, the second rut! It is maybe the best deer-hunting secret I know. I can remember a friend telling me about this several years ago. I thought he was crazy and was just telling me this for conversation purposes. But year after year, he showed me the proof. I still wasn’t convinced until I began seeing the biggest deer cruising my property during the second and third week of December.

I knew then, he was right.

Here’s why it’s the best. Each doe comes in heat during the second or third week of

SNAP

(Continued from A1) These changes will go into affect April of 2020 and could impact hundreds across the tricounty area.

The new rules limit SNAP benefits to three months within a 36-month period, unless the individual meets certain work requirements. These rules apply to those considered to be “able-bodied adults without dependents (ABAWD),” and excludes those with disabilities, who are pregnant, have dependents or are 50-years-old or older.

There are currently hundreds of individuals across the tri-county area that fall into the definition of ABAWD including 287 in Jersey, 200 in Greene and 52 in Calhoun.

Meghan Powers, director of communications at the Illinois Department of Human Services (IDHS), said that this definition technically excludes those with physical limitations, severe mental disabilities or a drug dependence.

Mental disabilities, in particular, she said, are not always identified when an individual applies for SNAP. “Many SNAP participants face serious barriers to employment, such as mental illnesses, substance use disorders, justice involvement and significant physical limitations, and would not be able to meet the work requirements,” she said.

The new rules require any ABAWD to complete 80 hours of work, work training or volunteer work within a month in order to qualify for SNAP benefits. According to a press release, these changes are what the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) considers to be a return to the intent of the original legislation signed into law in 1996.

“Government can be a powerful force for good, but government dependency has never been the American dream,” Secretary Perdue said in a press

OPINION

Hardin, Illinois

November in most parts of the country. If that doe is not bred during those days, she will come back in heat 30 days later.

Since those unbred doe are so few, the bucks are cruising everywhere to find them and take advantage of a second chance. A buck I may never see during any other time of the season may just show up during those two weeks.

So, my season is not over yet! I’m still in the hunt—pardon the pun.

In other areas of life, second chances are the most beneficial as well.

It seems, whether we like it or not, we are less likely to make the same mistake twice.

I’m not exactly sure why, except for the memory of past mistakes. They seem to linger a little longer. The sting of a bad decision seems to stay with us when most other emotions are

gone.

I think this is all the more reason to be thankful that God gives second chances. It’s a great reason to thank God for his plan of salvation and for his plan of restoration. Both are based on grace. You see, grace is the unmerited and undeserved favor of God. And grace is always initiated by the one who is giving grace.

This means God can give chance after chance because his favor is not conditional on our response.

It’s conditional only on he’s ability and willingness to keep extending it. I think the problem many of us have is thinking that God thought he was making a perfect creation, and that he doesn’t know about our constant tendencies to mess up – time after time.

He does, however, know.

And, he knows not only because he’s God but because

h e became m a n through the person of Jesus. It’s called the incarnation, and it is why Christians celebrate Christmas.

God became man to identify with our suffering and temptations – and to pay for our second chance and as many more chances that he wants to give.

release. “We need to encourage people by giving them a helping hand but not allowing it to become an indefinitely giving hand.”

The administration based the work requirements on changes in the unemployment rate, which it says has dropped to its lowest in more than 50 years.

According to the USDA’s press release, the unemployment rate is currently 3.6 percent with 7 million job openings.

These figures are based on statistics gathered by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), and their use, according to critics of the changes, can often be misleading if not put into proper context.

For example, the Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey (JOLTS), which is responsible for the 7 million job openings that the USDA reported is based on a sample set of 16,000 non-farm businesses and governmental establishments across the U.S. during a month. The BLS recognizes that this figure is an estimate and contains inherent variability.

The unemployment rate considers “all those who did any work for pay or profit during the survey reference week,” including those who did at least 15 hours of unpaid work at a family business or farm, according to the BLS. States, prior to the rule changes, have been able to apply for a waiver of the work requirements based on economic conditions as determined by the unemployment rate. The new rules require counties to have unemployment rates above 6 percent in order to qualify for that waiver.

Under this requirement, Greene, Jersey and Calhoun would not qualify for the waiver with Calhoun having the highest unemployment rate at 4 percent. However, IDHS is in the process of determining the exact effects the new policy will

have on Illinois counties, but they do expect most, if not all, counties will no longer qualify.

The USDA cites the low unemployed rate and the high numbers of states utilizing the waiver as evidence of manipulation and the need for these tighter regulations. In a Facebook post, Representative Rodney Davis emphasized this point.

“Unfortunately, states like Illinois have exploited loopholes and exempted 101 out of 102 counties from requirements helping people on SNAP find work,” Davis said in the post. “This new rule restores the 1996 law... to help lift more Americans out of poverty.”

In its document outlining the new regulations, the USDA acknowledged concerns regarding the type of labor available with involuntary part-time work increasing at a higher rate than other types of work.

Involuntary part-time workers are those who wish to have, but are unable to obtain full-time work. These workers are considered to be employed even if they work less than 20 hours a week, thus potentially deflating the unemployment rate the USDA is using as a basis for its new waiver policy.

Both the IDHS and Governor J.B. Pritzker are opposed to the new regulations.

“This is cruel, and my administration has fought him (President Trump) at every turn,” Pritzker said in an email statement.

Powers of IDHS said that their department has not received any additional funds from the federal government.

Powers said that the department is in the process of addressing the new regulations.

“IDHS has been working for months to appropriately exempt any individuals with these barriers so they do not need to meet the work requirements,” she said. “However, we also recognize that some of our cus-

tomers can and want to work.

“To that end, IDHS has also engaged in a robust effort to prepare for this rule change so we can help as many SNAP participants as possible find employment and training that would meet the work requirement.”

These efforts include the establishment of specialty teams at local offices to help able-bodied workers to meet the new work requirements, expanding services such as funds for transportation and licenses and working directly with food pantries to ensure that needs are met.

raised concerns about the larger community impacts recreational marijuana could have, noting how it has impacted other states which have legalized its recreational use.

“I was talking to a young lady this past week that has gone to Colorado in previous years, and she went this year— her and her family— and she said everywhere they went, they didn’t feel safe where they had been before,” he said. “She said it has really changed out there, and she really felt that it was because of marijuana.”

Wilschetz said the legalization of recreational marijuana presents an opportunity for the state to collect more revenue, but questioned the morality of doing so.

“I’m saying, ‘Where do you draw the line if it’s just about the dollar,’” he asked.

Wilschetz shortly followed up his question by raising a motion to pass the ordinance banning recreational cannabis

business establishments, which was seconded by commissioner Sarah Kinder. A vote was taken with all five commissioners voting in favor of the ordinance.

Also at the meeting: Q The commission voted unanimously to retain Larry Wieneke as chairman and Terry Woelfel as vice chairman.

Q The commission received no bids for winter snow removal at the county buildings. The county will continue to advertise for bids in the coming weeks.

Q Kyle Godar, county engineer, presented the commissioners with documents detailing the work that was done by the County Highway Department during the flood and the costs for that work.

The county signed off on the reimbursement.

The county will discuss a tax levy during its next meeting on Dec. 16.

Scholastic (Continued from A1) almost half of the high school participating.

“We have twenty students right now,” she said.

“Almost half of the kids are in scholastic bowl.”

The team has improved greatly even since its inception.

“We’ve improved a lot since last (school) year,” Hartle said. “(Buzzing in) seems to be our problem....

You don’t get to see the questions.”

The team held a bake sale last year and was able to use the money to purchase their own buzzer system to practice with. In addition, Hartle said she has been assigning “homework” to the students,

so they can master a particular subject.

“They each kind of majored in a subject,” she said.

The season kicked off on Oct. 29 with three matches held every Tuesday night. On Nov. 5, the team had its first win against Lincolnwood High School.

With the new buzzer system, the team was also able to host its first home meet as well against Pittsfield. The varsity team lost 80-290 in the first match and 70-230 in the second.

The next tournament will be held following the winter break on March 2 against Western with regionals shortly after.

Chairman Larry Wieneke did raise a concern about the possible impact banning the cultivation of recreational marijuana would have on local farmers.

“The only thing I’m questioning is if there’s anybody — a farmer — that would want to do it as a cash crop,” he said.

If there were a farmer or businessman interested in pursuing an investment in recreational marijuana, they would need to get a state license to do so. Medical marijuana facilities were granted licenses for recreational sales in order to more quickly roll out the new measures, but none of those facilities exist within Calhoun.

So far, the closest recreational marijuana dispensary to have been granted a license is located in Collinsville.

CAROL SUE POHLMAN Carol Sue Pohlman, 81, died at 6:40 a.m., Wednesday, November 20, 2019 at Jerseyville Nursing and Rehabilitation Center in Jerseyville.

She was born on March 26, 1938 in Alton, one of two children born to the late John Elmer and Wilma Beatrice (Jones) Wethington.

Sue grew up in the East Alton/Wood River area, graduating with the class of 1956 from East Alton-Wood River High School.

She married the love of her life, Frederick William “Fritz” Pohlman Jr. on October 3, 1959 at St. Mary’s Catholic Church in Alton and throughout their 58 years of marriage they shared in the joys of raising their two children and the blessing of the grandchildren and great-grandchildren that followed.

Sue worked alongside her husband as an Executive Assistant for the family business, the Calhoun St Charles Ferry Company (otherwise known as the Golden Eagle Ferry), for many years. Her primary focus, however, was providing a loving and nurturing home for her family.

She enjoyed traveling both near and far, and was proud to have visited all but 1 of the 50 states throughout her lifetime.

She was devout in her Catholic faith, serving as a member of the Alter Society for many years. In addition, she was a proud 50-year member of Beta Sigma Phi. Sue took great pride in her appearance and had a keen eye for fashion and enjoyed any opportunity she had to shop, whether it be for herself or someone else.

She would spend countless hours decorating their lawn for Halloween in anticipation of many trick-or-treaters that gathered each and every year.

Sue’s grandchildren and great-grandchildren provided her with some of her greatest joys in life. There

was never a sporting event, birthday or milestone that she was not there to show her love and support.

As Sue faced her battle with Alzheimer’s in her later years, she was blessed to have her husband, children and grandchildren return that same love and devotion back to her, providing for her a constant source of love and care.

She will forever be admired for her thoughtful and giving nature. Her family finds peace in knowing that her battle is over and she has once again been made whole and reunited for eternity with her love, Fritz.

Surviving are a daughter and son in-law, Stacey and Dan Eilerman of Carrollton; a son and daughter in-law, Frederick William “Fred” III and Julie Pohlman of Grafton; six grandsons, Jay and Justine Eilerman of Carrollton; Drew and Mariah Eilerman of Raymond; Frederick William “Fred” Pohlman IV and his fiancé, Jordynn Hadik, of Edwardsville; Sam Pohlman of Westminster, CO; Hayden and Kayce Eilerman of Columbia and Luke Pohlman of Wright City, MO; six greatgrandchildren, Brookelyn, Bailey, Bowen, Audrey, Gus and Sage.

In addition to her parents and her husband, she was preceded in death by a brother, Lowell “Sonny” Wethington.

Memorial visitation will be held from 9 a.m. – 11 a.m., Saturday, December 14, 2019 at the Crawford Funeral Home.

A Mass of Christian Burial will follow at 11:30 a.m. at the Holy Ghost Catholic Church in Jerseyville with Father Hyland Smith officiating.

In lieu of flowers or plants, memorials may be given to BJC Hospice or to Carlinville Catholic Charities which covers the Calhoun, Greene, Jersey, Macoupin and Montgomery counties.

This is normal. This is okay. It’s important to acknowledge that the sense of loss and grief is still present and real.

There is no “timeline” for “getting over it.” It can be uncomfortable or worrisome for family members to witness, but it’s important to recognize what’s going on.

What can be done to navigate this potentially stressful time?

Keeping up holiday traditions is a wonderful way to remember the people who are no longer with us. This may be baking the super-special Christmas cookies, singing a favorite carol, or doing something with family that your loved one enjoyed. Be realistic in your expectations for the holidays: they may not be “perfect” or “the same” as they were in previous years, but they still can be enjoyed. Please do keep in mind that if you find yourself (or see a loved one) feeling persistently sad or anxious, unable to sleep, irritable, or hopeless, and withdrawing from activities that are typically anticipated or enjoyed, you may be experiencing depression. Talk with your doctor or other health care professional.

MARY ANN PATTON Mary Ann (Smith) Patton, 81, passed away at 3:50 pm Sunday November 24, 2019 at Jersey Community Hospital.

She was born on June 27, 1938 in Hardin, IL the daughter of George E. & Marie R. (Baumann) Smith.

Mary Ann married Robert L. Patton on May 3, 1958. He preceded her in death.

She was a member of St. Norbert’s Catholic Church in Hardin. Mary worked as the City Clerk for numerous years for the Village of Hardin.

She is survived by two daughters and son-in-law, Cindy (Robert) Wieneke and Wanda (Steve) Griffin; one son,

(Continued from A1) time last year. Soybean harvesting was 95 percent complete, down from 99 percent a year ago.

That delay is the result of historic rainfall in the spring that drenched many parts of the state, preventing farmers from getting seeds into the ground in some cases until as late as June.

Officials at the Illinois Department of Agriculture say the final, official numbers for the 2019 growing season won’t be known until early January. But Rodney Weinzierl, executive director of the Illinois Corn Growers Association, said all indicators point to a below-average year.

“Our acres of corn this year was the lowest we’ve had probably since the late 1980s,” Weinzierl said in a phone interview. “Just because of that corn that was prevented from being planted, just because of such wet conditions.”

Weinzierl said Illinois farmers planted about 1.1 million fewer acres of corn this year, compared to a normal year, and there was also a big drop-off in soybean acres.

“So it’s just something that we’ve not experienced before,” he said.

In addition to fewer acres planted, the U.S. Department of Agriculture is projecting that each acre will produce less this year than in the recent past – about 179 bushels per acre this year, down from 210 bushels in 2018, which

was a record for Illinois.

Last year, Illinois harvested roughly 11 million acres of corn, according to USDA estimates. Those acres yielded about 2.7 billion bushels which, at an average price of $3.62 per bushel, generated $8.2 billion in farm income.

Soybean farmers harvested 10.5 million acres, producing nearly 667 million bushels. At $8.74 per bushel, that generated about $6.3 billion in income.

Most farmers who left acres unplanted this year had insurance coverage, but those policies only cover farmers for their input costs such as the seeds and fertilizers that went unused. They do not cover farmers for the loss of income or the cost of land for farmers who lease acreage from other landowners.

“So farmers that rent ground would still have an overall loss,” Weinzierl said. “But it’s like any other insurance, it’s meant to kind of allow you to be able to farm again next year.”

A spokeswoman for the Illinois Department of Agriculture said final numbers for the 2019 growing season are due to be released Jan. 10. A separate report will be released in February detailing the state’s first year of legal hemp production.

Why Worry When You Can Pray?

H

Rull Brothers Hardin, IL

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

“Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.” Philippians 4:6 NIV

uman beings are naturally inclined to worry. Perhaps it is an evolutionary holdover from more dangerous times, when a lack of vigilance could easily lead to ruin. And even now, there are plenty of things to worry about, as every newscast is quick to remind us. The philosopher George Santayana claimed that one of the tenets of what he called “animal faith” is that there are things in the world that we can eat, and things in the world that can eat us! This is probably why all successful species have developed successful defenses, including effective vigilance, or even hyper-vigilance. But whereas squirrels and other small animals need to be hyper-vigilant, since hawks and cats are effective predators, human beings have created for ourselves a generally safe environment, and unless you are crossing a busy street, or working with potentially dangerous equipment, there probably isn’t much you need to worry about right now. All the major religions tell us to chill out, or in religious language, to trust in God. The natural tendency to worry and be vigilant is adaptive in some environments, but supremely maladaptive in others. Therefore, stop worrying. Your next meal is probably in the refrigerator. You have clothes and a roof over your head, and really, what more do you need?

Illinois lawmakers push to make daylight savings year round

By KRIS SCHEFFEL Calhoun News-Herald Illinois has joined more than 35 states in introducing legislation to make daylight saving year round. Senate Bill 533, if passed, would set the clocks ahead one hour on March 8, 2020 permanently.

The idea for the legislation came from a Carlinville High School civics class, which presented the bill’s sponsor, Andy Manar, D-Bunker Hill, with the idea. “It was a well-thought out proposal that I felt deserved consideration in Springfield,� Manar said.

Earlier this year, the Senate State Government Committee approved SB 533 unanimously after the students presented their findings to the committee.

In November, the legislation was pushed through to the Illinois House, and has since stagnated in the Rules Committee.

Sandy Teichmann, interim administrator at the Calhoun Health Department, said there are a variety of health impacts ranging from minor to more serious related to the time changes. “Experts have been examining the effects of daylight saving time on the human body and have found some disturbing facts,� she said.

In addition to making many feel tired and “off,� Teichmann said, there are also hormonal changes happening within the body. The body relies on hormones to send signals and affect one’s behavior and mood. “This can affect appetite,� Teichmann said. “Our bodies are sending messages that we are hungry at odd times, and are not sending the signal when we are full, causing us to overeat.�

These hormonal changes can also lead to increased feelings of depression, anxiety, irritability and mental exhaustion.

Exhaustion, as a result of daylight saving, Teichmann said, has been correlated with car crash data and workplace accidents to show an increase in these incidents following the time change.

In addition to hormonal changes, researchers have also found a link between the time change and heart attacks. “A 2014 study showed that the change to daylight saving time increased the risk of having a heart attack on the Monday following the change by 24 percent,�

Teichmann said. “When “falling back� later in the year, the risk fell 21 percent after returning to standard time.�

The U.S. Department of Transportation has also said that there could be larger benefits to making daylight saving permanent. It could reduce energy consumption by limiting the need for household lighting and appliances, and it could also increase safety by limiting the amount of time individuals are traveling or conducting activities in the dark. “SB 533 would end the arbitrary time change and Illinois would join other states,� Manar said.

Daylight saving time is a relatively recent development, having been formally implemented in 1966 with the Uniform Time Act. The Uniform Time Act standardized time across the nation as a means of avoiding time confusion within the transportation and broadcast industries.

Prior to this passage, it was used sporadically as a means of granting people more daylight after work or school.

States were given the authority to opt out of the 1966 legislation, but Arizona was the only of the 48 contiguous states to do so. However, the Navajo Nation in the northeast of the state still observed daylight saving time.

A similar situation occurred in Indiana, which as a state did not observe daylight saving time, but had counties, resulting in confusion and the eventual passage of daylight saving across the state.

The legislation would have Illinois opt out of the 1966 Uniform Time Act. If passed, SB 533 could have wide implications for health, safety, communication and industry.

25 Years Ago December 14, 1994 The Calhoun High School had an added ingredient to its Physical Education curriculum.

Roller skating was enjoyed not only during Physical Education, but also in the evening hours for all ages from Nov. 28 through Dec. 2.

Calhoun High School Principal Bill Bishop reported on this project at the Lion’s Club Family Night held at the Barefoot Restaurant on Wednesday, Dec. 7.

Skatetime from Morrison, IL, rented special roller skates to the high school so they could be used on the gymnasium floor without scuffing it. They also sent a representative to provide instruction including how to fall correctly. Many of the students had never skated before, but by week’s end, many were able to do “razzle-dazzle turn-arounds.�

The only disappointment was that the skate sizes supplied were only from 5 to 15. There were no small sizes for the little tots.

The event was well-attended, with 50 to 80 participants each session. Music was played, with some dancing being done in the middle of the floor. “The neatest thing came out of it. It is something that everyone could do, from little ones through grandparents,� Bishop said.

50 Years Ago December 11, 1969 Gov. Richard B. Ogilvie has announced the release of $250,000 in disaster relief funds for Illinois by President Nixon.

The money was requested by Gov. Ogilvie to repair essential public facilities damaged by heavy flooding last spring. It will be allocated to communities in Adams, Calhoun, Carroll, Hancock, Henderson, Jersey, Jo Daviess, Mercer, Pike, Rock Island and Whiteside counties.

Col. Donovan M. Vance, director of the Illinois Civil Defense Agency which administers the emergency funds, said this release brings the total disaster relief monies granted to Illinois during 1969 to more than $3 million. “Without this assistance,� he said, “many of the communities would be unable to recover essential services because of the costs involved.�

He added that 1965 and 1967 were record years for floods in Illinois when damages amounted to more than $10 million.

75 Years Ago December 14, 1944 Walter Kress of Kritzville was in Hardin Wednesday and called at the News office to show us some pictures of the opening of an Indian mound on the Andrew Snyders farm at Kritzville last August by Dr. Paul Titterington of St. Louis, a famous archaeologist.

Dr. Titterington had sent the pictures to be seen by those who had helped him with the excavation, Jess and Walter Kress; Reuben Stumpf, and Keith Stumpf.

The pictures clearly told the story of the Indian Chief and some of his family buried together in the mound. Beside them were beads, darts, a kettle and other relics, including a copper axe, spools and a flint knife.

The Indians were buried, according to custom, with their feet drawn up under their chins.

100 Years Ago December 11, 1919 Capt. M.A. Kamp of Kampsville, President of the Bank of Calhoun County, and one of the oldest members of the News family, being now in his 90th year, sends us a check this week to renew his ‘sub’ to the News.

Capt. Kamps, we are glad to report, is in fairly good health and gets about in a spry manner considering, of course, the weight of years that are upon him. Capt. Kamp has been a resident of Kampsville for forty-six years, coming to that place, what was then known as Farrowtown, in the year 1873. The village, afterwards was rechristened Kampsville in his honor, the people of that village, at that time, petitioning for the change of the name.

Capt. Kamp is a native of Bavaria, Germany, and he first opened his eyes to the light August 21, 1829. He attained to man’s estate in his native country, learning the arts of a barber and surgeon, which he followed for many years. He received a thorough education in both the English and German tongue.

In 1853, Mr. Kamp bade adieu to the land of his birth, and taking passage at Havre, crossed the broad Atlantic and landed in New Orleans fifty-two days later. He immediately went north to St. Louis and there followed surgery and the tonsorial art until the breaking out of the Civil War. He had become thoroughly imbued with the spirit of loyalty to his adopted country and in April 1861, took his place in Company D. Fourth Missouri Reserve Corps, with which he was out about four months. He was then discharged and subsequently enrolled his name in a Missouri militia regiment, becoming First Lieutenant of Company F., in which capacity he served until he resigned during the year 1863.

The same year, Mr. Kamp came to Calhoun county, settling at Silver Creek Post-office where he carried on the dual occupations of merchant and farmer, meeting with success in both lines of business. A decade later, he changed his residence to the town of which he has become a leading citizen. Mr. Kamp has been and is today a prominent and leading citizen in our county.

For twelve years, he has served as County Commissioner and many other offices of public trust has he held in a most creditable manner. By unceasing efforts Mr. Kamp has accumulated a competency and we praise him for his good management and are glad that we still have him with us, and may it be his lot to remain with us in good health, body and mind for years to come.

St. Jude Novena May the sacred heart of Jesus be adored, glorified, loved and preserved, throughout the world now and forever. Sacred heart of Jesus, pray for us. St.

Jude, worker of miracles, pray for us. St. Jude, helper of helpless, pray for us.

Thank you, St. Jude KS
