Sandbag removal still of concern for Hardin Village

By KRIS SCHEFFEL Calhoun News-Herald Buyouts for Calhoun residents will potentially see delays, as was discussed during the Hardin Village meeting on Wednesday, Dec. 11.

Concerns were raised about a number of degrading houses and sandbags present within the village, many of which are under consideration for these buyouts.

The discussion stemmed from a concern raised by several board members regarding the presence of sandbags on residential properties within the village. Mayor Dave Hurley will recommend the Hardin Police Chief Greg Weishaupt visit those properties of concern, but noted that several of the properties are under consideration for a buyout. “With a lot of the sandbags still around, should a buyout go through with IDNR (Illinois Department of Natural Resources), that’s (the sandbags) a part of the demolition of the homes,� Hurley said.

However, it was noted that the buyouts may be delayed because of the environmental survey, which had yet to be completed as of last week. “They were talking about as soon as March doing buyouts, and they’re not even done with the environmental studies yet,�

Hurley said.

There are currently 21 properties in Hardin up for a possible buyout through IDNR. The environmental survey is one of several which will look to make sure there are no environmental hazards, historical structures or materials of archaeological significance.

Once these surveys are complete, the homes will be assessed according to what the structure’s original value was prior to the flood damage. Then, the homeowner will be made an offer by IDNR, which they can approve, reject or counter via a second

assessor’s opinion.

If the offer is agreed upon, then the property will be demolished and turned over to the village’s control. The process is a lengthy one and does not guarantee that the homes currently being considered will be offered a buyout.

This demolition, Hurley said, would most likely include the removal of the sandbags remaining on these properties. “I’m assuming that if the buyouts take place, and they tear down the homes, they have to take that (the sandbags) to landfill,� he said.

For properties that are not under consideration for a buyout, they could potentially be in violation of village ordinance. “He (Weishaupt) needs to go around and maybe look at degrading houses and trash that’s out,� Hurley said. “We have an ordinance for that.�

The village itself has piles of sandbags located near Mel’s Riverdock Restaurant. These, Hurley said, may be utilized by the County Highway Department to repair the road at the top of Rocky Hill. Kyle Godar, the county engineer, is currently awaiting approval for the project. “What he plans to do with that sand and rock is...once the weather allows, is to take that and use that as compaction to build up an intersection across from Brown’s,� Hurley said. “Fill in that huge ditch. Build it up, and then they can widen the intersection.�

The project is being considered under the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s Public Assistance program. By the time the weather clears and the project is approved, it will probably be spring of next year.

In the meantime, the village board is considering moving these piles of sandbags away from Mel’s, to a place that the (See, SANDBAGS, A4)

Frigid weather doesn’t phase Christmas in Calhoun attendees

By KRIS SCHEFFEL Calhoun News-Herald It’s beginning to feel a lot like Christmas in Calhoun.

On Saturday, the second annual Christmas in Calhoun event took place, and in spite of the chilly day, organizers saw a good turnout.

Temperatures read at around 36 degrees that afternoon, but many were determined to make it out for the event, bringing along heaters and blankets. The events organizers, including Lauren Eilerman and Jen Fanning, set up a ‘heating tent’ for attendees with the two, outdoor heaters becoming a centerpiece to many conversations that day. “Everyone’s got their own little heaters,� Fanning said.

The weather, many in attendance said, was a dramatic shift from the previous year, which they estimated to be about 65 degrees.

However, that did not stop residents from coming out. “The weather was nicer last year, but there was about as many people (as this year),� Fanning said.

The event hosted vendors, games, carolers and an elf school.

“We have more venders this year,� Fanning said. “We had these wonderful carolers this year. This is the first year we had them. That was really nice.�

The Elf School, organized and run by the Hardin Girl Scouts, wherein students learn the ins and outs of being an elf. They are given an elf name, an elf makeover, taught an elf song and learn to make an elf craft. Like last year, the school was “booked solid,� Fanning said. They even had to add additional classes to meet the demand. “They’ve done a wonderful job,� she said.

The school faced its own challenges in trying to find a suitable location. Initially, the event was to take place in the Calhoun News-Herald office, however, since the office closed, there was no water or electric. The Hardin City Hall was also a consideration; however, the distance from the event’s location at the Marvin Richter Government Building made it unsuitable.

Finally, a location was found at the St. Paul Lutheran Church. “We had to move buildings two times,� Fanning

said. “We had to move the fully decorated tree in the back of a pickup truck two nights ago, and set it up in there‌It worked out. It’s a Christmas miracle.â€?

The event overall, was a success, but all agreed that warmer weather should be on the wish list for next year.

That in addition to greater participation in the form of volunteers, vendors, local royalty, parade floats and light displays. “Anybody that wants to help coordinate the event, we would love that,� Fanning said.

The parade, which would have kicked off the days events, was canceled prior because of a lack of participants. “We planned it (the parade) the whole time,� Fanning said. “We just didn’t have enough people participate.�

Fanning had a similar desire for the light display.

Nine homes participated in the light display contest this year, but she hoped for more. “We would like more people to participate next year all around,� she said.

Next year’s Christmas in Calhoun will take place on Dec. 12.

No car accidents reported following second snow storm

By KRIS SCHEFFEL Calhoun News-Herald Between Sunday and Monday, Calhoun County saw roughly 5 inches of snow, according to the National Weather Service, with the season’s second winter storm moving eastwards.

Early forecasts warning of the storm meant that the county was well-prepared to meet the demands compared to the first snow event over Veteran’s Day weekend, which took many by surprise.

Sheriff’s Deputy Kyle Jacobs was pleased to report that in spite of the snow accumulation, there were no reported accidents within the county. “Sunday went well,� he said. “No accidents and luckily, since it was a Sunday, there

was limited traffic.�

The Sheriff’s Department has said previously that residents should remain home if possible during these winter storm events. If unable to stay home, planning additional time for the commute is key, as speed is a major factor when it comes to winter weatherrelated accidents.

The drive for commuters in Calhoun this week, however, was made much safer by the hard work put in by the Calhoun County Highway Department. The department worked to clear the roads into the early hours Tuesday morning. “Although we were prepared for the second and third snow events of the season that occurred Dec. 15th and 17th, each storm (See, STORM, A4)

Discussions continued regarding the potential vacation of Cache Hollow Bridge, Rita Hagen, Calhoun County Clerk, said.

The bridge currently does not meet the Illinois Department of Transportation’s (IDOT) standards and would require, according to county engineer Kyle Godar, repairs amounting to roughly $300,000 to $400,000.

There is a single property and boat access point beyond the bridge, which has led to discussions of alternative measures that could save the county from spending thousands to meet the IDOT requirements.

The primary alternative, a proposition the homeowner raised initially, would be to vacate the bridge, signing over ownership to that property owner. The homeowner would not be required to repair the bridge to IDOT’s standards as it will become a private drive.

However, the vacation of this property would most likely result in the closure of the boat access point beyond the bridge.

The county is currently looking to undertake the construction of a new boat access point near Martin’s Landing to alleviate the demand for boat access in the event that the Cache Hollow bridge is vacated.

This project will require completion of a grant application. But, the issue was raised in November, just following the closing of that grant’s application cycle. The commissioners will need to wait until the next cycle in order to move forward.

During Monday’s meeting, the commissioners agreed to go ahead and pay a title company to figure out who owns the property along to the river in Cache Hollow.

In addition to this title search, the commissioners also OK’d a second survey of a property located on the top of Rocky Hill.

The property was previously that of Merle Inman. Now, it is in the possession of his heirs.

Located on the property is a radio tower utilized by the county.

The heirs are interested in giving the piece of property on which the tower sits to the county. The initial survey; however, encompassed more than what it was intended by the owners, and therefore, the county will be conducting a second survey.

Also at the meeting Monday: Q The commissioners approved designating Christmas Eve as a holiday for county employees.

Q Sassafras Turf Management submitted a bid to the county for snow removal and was approved. The contractor will also be responsible for lawn management for 2020. Sassafras got a head start on its contract by clearing the sidewalks at the county building following the recent storm over the weekend.

Q The commissioners approved the opening of a Board of Review.

Q The tax levy was approved with a 4 percent increase from last year’s.

Is Cabela’s serious about new Christmas advertisement

By BILL HOAGLAND Christmas is coming, and like many others, I struggle to find a gift for certain people in my family.

So to get some ideas, I like to look at the Cabela/ Bass Pro circular in particular, since there are a number of outdoor enthusiasts in the family. Last week, I was looking at the most recent Cabela Christmas circular and a particular item in the “toy” section caught my attention.

It was a plastic handgun that looked more like a sawed-off shotgun than a pistol. According to the ad, it shoots table salt. The ad does not say how many

grains of salt are expelled at once, but hopefully we are not talking about a “shotgun blast” of salt with each pull of the trigger. But what really caught my attention was the promotional language that accompanied the text.

The ad said that this item is “safe for kids and pets!”

Let’s start with the “pets”.

Does Cabela’s think that your dog will be thrilled to find this gun under the tree with his name on the package? I don’t know about your dogs, but mine are not “packing any heat” (as far as I know) and none of them are getting a gun for Christmas—plastic or otherwise.

So why would this toy

“be safe for pets”? Does Cabela’s suspect your pet will become the usual target when no adults are around?

I can understand why some kids would be tempted to shoot a moving target that yelps when hit, but why empower a fiendish child with a gun that shoots table salt anyway?

And is this toy really “safe for kids”? I guess it depends on how you define kids. The ad gives no clue. But it does say that this gun “is a nightmare for flies within three feet.”

“Nightmare” is not a word that seems appropriate for a toy gun advertisement but what do I know? Maybe

that word really “triggers” sales. From other literature in the ad, it sounds as if this gun is supposed to be used inside the house to shoot flies. That sure sounds like “fun times” to me until a child gets a grain of salt in the eye, and you are spending the rest of Christmas Day in the emergency room.

Frankly, if you have enough flies in your house that the kids will have a blast after Christmas gunning them down, maybe your home needs more than a toy gun that shoots grains of table salt.

Outdoor Truths: Gary Miller

Confidence cannot stand without knowledge My friend just ended his Hunters and fishermen will tell you about the importance of confidence.

It is really a major part of the battle when it comes to patience and persistence.

For instance, if I know I have always caught fish in a certain hole; I will fish that hole slower and with a greater awareness of an imminent bite.

I also must have confidence in the bait I’m using. It can be the latest and greatest invention, but without my added confidence it’s most likely to find itself in an unused section in the bottom of my tackle box. And what can I say about confidence when it comes to boredom?

The two cannot survive together. One will always push the other into the corner of the boat. In hunting, confidence comes

from knowing you are in the right place and that at any time you might have the opportunity for a shot.

It causes you to get to the woods early, stay late, and forgo lunch.

Confidence brings excitement. What we all must remember, however, about confidence, is it is the byproduct of something else – knowledge.

Confidence can never stand on its own. It must have something to prop it up. That something is knowledge. Therefore, if our knowledge is unfounded then our confidence will be as well. You can see how important it is then, to know the truth. In deer hunting, the scenario might go like this.

We set a stand in the same place we did last year without scouting. Last year, the acorns were plenti-

ful and the deer abundant.

We get to the stand before light, excited about the possibilities. Our confidence is out the roof. As daylight exposes the trees around us, we begin to gaze at each one and find out none have acorns. Immediately, the confidence we had earlier, now becomes doubt, discouragement and distrust.

No matter how much confidence we may have in that area, the truth says different.

As a Christian, my confidence doesn’t need to come from the circumstances or situations around me. If I were to only look at the bad things that happen to me from an earthly perspective, I would have no confidence in my ability to overcome. And conversely, when good things happen, I would have the needed confidence to continue.

But, my confidence must come from something that is less fickle than the circumstances around me. It must come from the truth found in the word of God.

WHAT'S GOING ON BETWEEN THE RIVERS Q Kampsville News Q Point News

by Diane Brangenberg Q 618-653-4520

We are very excited about this weekend in Kampsville.

One of our favorite guys will be coming to visit. That’s right. Santa will be here Sunday evening from 6-8 p.m. in the Center for American Archeology Gym for the Kampsville Kids Christmas Party. There will be lots a basket raffles games and prizes and every child gets a present.

My helper elves have been busy shopping, wrapping and baking.

Don’t forget I still need baked goods for the cookie walk. This year, thanks to my co-chairman, Debby Klunk, we will have an amazing hot chocolate bar. Even though it’s called the Kampsville Kids Christmas Party, it’s not just for kids. It’s for all ages.

Thanks to a generous donation from the Sons of the American Legion. My granddaughter, Reagan, and I were able to buy lots of basketballs, soccer balls, footballs and volleyballs. We had several people stop and ask us as we had our two carts full if we were planning a big sporting event.

Saturday evening, Dec. 21, the Kampsville American Legion will have a dance

with music provided by Rich, Rick and Lucky. Everyone is encouraged to bring bring an unwrapped toy that will be used at the Christmas Party.

Angie Holland, one of our favorite bartenders at the Legion, has been a busy helper for Santa also this year. She has been collecting money and blankets to provide the Veterans in the Nursing Homes. Thanks to so much generosity and her hard work, she met her goal. Blankets will be provided to Veterans in Calhoun, Pike and Jersey county nursing homes— how wonderful.

Get your queen of hearts tickets while you’re at the Legion. We’re still looking for our queen.

Thank you to everyone who helped with the wrapping and came out on a snow day — especially the Landing for allowing us to take over their restaurant for the day.

Christmas and Calhoun on Saturday was a little cold but the snow was actually pretty and that didn’t stop the crowd from having a good time. The Calhoun entertainment company dressed in theme and did Christmas carols. Of course,

the Girl Scouts hosted Elf School, which was a definite hit for all the kids.

Not only is this a fun event, it’s also a way for all of our organizations in the county and our sports teams to raise funds. Hopefully, the tradition continues.

The Calhoun Unit 40 Band Concert has been rescheduled for this Wednesday night beginning at 5 p.m.

Congratulations to the Calhoun Warrior basketball team on their win Friday night. They won first place in the North Greene tournament.

Congratulations Cory Nelson, Ben Eberlin and Stone Zirkelbach on being chosen All-Tournament.

Sorry for the short column this week, but I’m kind of busy with the town stuff, and I’ve had to do this in a rush. I promise I’ll do better next week. I hope everyone is enjoying their snow day.

Please continue prayers for our military, Bill Schumann, Kathryn Chapman, Eileen Gardner, Jim Hill, Joe Gress, Kirt Roth, Cindy Smith, Jan Clore, Luanne Baalman, Linda Herkert and Darren Kress.

Q Batchtown News The surrounding area is covered in snow, and more is on the way.

Christmas in Calhoun held Sunday, Dec. 15 was a festive day with stands with hot chocolate, popcorn, and candy apples and a winter tent café with sandwiches. There were shops with clothing, jewelry and purses and bags for sale.

Children were running about, stopping long enough to make a Christmas ornament to hang in the home, or on the tree.

Books to buy and read at home in one’s quiet time.

Christmas music filled the air, and there were people from the Calhoun Entertainment Co. dressed in costumes of the past singing Christmas carols. There seemed to be a little magic in the air. The wind felt like the spirit of Christmas as it swirled around the center Christmas tree in the park that was lit at dark. It was nice to attend this winter event in Calhoun County.

We thank everyone who made it possible and look forward to Christmas in Calhoun next year. There were many people from Calhoun and visitors who enjoyed the day.

The Calhoun Band Concert is tonight, Wednesday, Dec. 18, at the Elementary School at 5 p.m. It was canceled Sunday due to snowy weather. The Calhoun Elementary School Christmas Party is Dec. 20 at noon. It is always exciting to see the children perform and express their Christmas cheer for family and visitors who want to share their joy during the Christmas season.

On Thursday afternoon, I drove to Chesterfield, Mo., to the home of my daughter and son-in-law Cyndi and Trevor Axford, Madison and Mackenzie. That evening, we enjoyed dinner at Red Lobster and afterwards attended the Westminster Christian Academy Christmas program entitled “Tis the Season.” The evening began with an opening prayer followed by many selections by the band and orchestra.

My granddaughter, Mackenzie, a senior at Westminster, was in the choir, and they performed many beautiful Christmas selections. This was followed by musical selections by the jazz ensemble and then both the Novella and Bella Choir sang along with band and orchestra selections. In closing, the audience was asked to sing along with the group “Joy to the World”, “O Come all ye Faithful,” “Hark the Herald Angels” and “Silent Night.” So happy I was able to attend this beautiful Christmas musical presentation. Thanks to the Axford’s for a most enjoyable evening.

I remained overnight and on Friday Cyndi, Madison and I joined Shelly Scherer, Ashley Kirn and Addy at Mid-Rivers Mall to finish Christmas shopping.

Storm (Continued from A1) comes with its own challenges,” Kyle Godar, county engineer, said. “Both of these snows took place during busy travel times of the day, which makes it difficult to keep up.”

Godar said there were 10 trucks working to clear the roads each with a route approximately 65 miles long.

“It generally takes around 6 hours to make one round, so if it’s snowing heavily,

there can be quite a bit of accumulation before we get back around,” he said.

The Highway Department recently obtained additional equipment retired from the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) and is also working to modify its approach in clearing the roads.

“We have acquired some additional retired IDOT equipment and are work-

ing to modify some of our methods to more closely mirror what IDOT does on our major routes, but that is kind of a learning process for us,” Godar said. “We are always trying to improve with each event.”

Like Jacobs, Godar advises that drivers remain home if possible. While the snow may have ceased, drivers should remain cautious, as the low temperatures keep

the snow and ice from thawing. This means planning for a longer commute if staying at home is not feasible.

Temperatures are expected to jump up into the 40s Thursday.

Thomas Merlin Jones, 54, died at 5:18 p.m., Tuesday, December 10, 2019 after a brave fight with cancer. He was born in Jerseyville on April 14, 1965, one of four children born to Russell Ray and Geneva (Foiles) Jones.

Tom was a 1985 graduate of Pleasant Hill High School, where he was a standout athlete on the Wolves football, basketball and track teams. He also went on to attend Illinois College in Jacksonville, where he participated on their football team as well.

Sports were a huge part of Tom’s life, whether playing or as a spectator. He participated on numerous slow pitch softball leagues and bowling leagues around the area, and was a fan of the Jacksonville Jaguars, St. Louis Cardinals and St. Louis Blues.

If it had anything to do with the outdoors, Tom was game. He had a passion for golf and the camaraderie that came with the game, and was a member of Westlake Country Club in Jerseyville. He also enjoyed fishing and hunting as well, but mostly just enjoyed being around family and friends, and simply enjoying life to the fullest.

Tom was raised in the Pleasant Hill/Nebo area, and was a member of the St. Agnes Catholic Church in Belleview, Il. and relocated to Jerseyville in 2005.

Professionally, he was employed through Labor Local 218, and worked at various locations throughout his life, but for the last several years was employed with Maul Excavating in Brighton.

He married the former Brenda Yokem on Aug. 29, 1992 at the Pleasant Hill United Methodist Church, and although not long enough, they were blessed

with 27 years together.

Surviving are his wife, Brenda Jones of Jerseyville; his mother, Geneva Jones of Jerseyville; a brother and sister in-law, Ted and Lisa Jones of Fieldon; two sisters and brothers in-law, Tina and Pat Woods of Brentwood, Tn. and Tammy and Dale Elledge of Kampsville; his father in-law, James Yokem of Pittsfield; a brother in-law and sister in-law, Brett and Debbie Yokem of Ohatchee, Al.; nieces and nephews, Luke Woods, and his wife, Meredith of Nashville, Tn., Kyle Woods of Columbus, Oh., Ray Becker of St. Louis, Wyatt Jones, Kate Jones, Mary Jones all of Fieldon, and Alexander Yokem of Ohatchee, Al. He was preceded in death by his father, Russell Ray Jones, and his mother in-law, Linda Yokem.

Visitation was from 3 to 6 p.m. Sunday at Crawford Funeral Home in Jerseyville.

A Mass of Christian Burial took place at 10 a.m. Monday at Holy Ghost Catholic Church in Jerseyville, with Father Hyland Smith officiating.

He was laid to rest in the St. Anselm’s Catholic Cemetery in Kampsville.

Memorials may be given to the St. Anselm’s Catholic Cemetery in Kampsville or to the Jason Motte Foundation.

Sandbags (Continued from A1) Highway Department can easily get to when the time comes.

“I don’t like moving things twice, but if we just want to get it out of the way for Mel’s business...,” Hurley said. “It’s kind of an eyesore.”

Also during the meeting: Q Mayor Hurley gave an update on the status of the Hazard Mitigation Plan, which is currently in the process of being written by contractor American Environmental. The village will not need to create its own plan, only approve the final draft of the plan. This work is being overseen by the county.

Q Submissions of water surveys have continued to stagnate with engineering firm Heneghan and Associates reporting that only 165 out of roughly 300 have been received. The vil-

lage needs to receive 90 percent of the surveys in order to procure grant funds for the replacement of the deteriorating water system. Rick Ringhausen, Calhoun County State’s Attorney, has offered to donate the sheriff department’s time to go and knock on residents’ doors under the proviso that the county be permitted to utilize those results for other projects.

Q The board discussed the renewal of a contract with Killion Construction, so long as a representative attends the village meetings at least once a quarter. They are contracting by the village to conduct testing of the water. Killion Construction has raised its service costs for water by $100 bringing the monthly cost to $1300, representing a $3.30 per day increase.

There has not been a raise in costs since 2013. The board will review its contract with Killion Construction.

Loving Kindness L Rull Brothers Hardin, IL

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

“Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love.”

1 John 4:7-8 NIV

oving Kindness is a concept and a practice that is shared by most if not all the world’s religions. In Buddhism, for instance, the concept of “metta” denotes loving kindness, compassion, or even friendliness and good will. A typical metta meditation might start with the words “may I be happy, may I be well, may I be comfortable, and may I be at peace.” This prayer for well-being begins with oneself, and then extends to loved ones, acquaintances, enemies, and finally, to all sentient beings. When Jesus tells his followers in the fifth chapter of Matthew “You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you,” he is distilling loving kindness down to its essence. That is, we are to love and care for all sentient beings, not just the small circle of those who love us. Jesus’s command to love your neighbor as yourself has its roots in the Hebrew Bible, where we are instructed “Do not seek revenge or bear a grudge against anyone among your people, but love your neighbor as yourself.”

(Leviticus 19:18 NIV) The most frequently used word in the Koran is “compassionate,” with every chapter (except the ninth) beginning with the words “In the name of God (Allah), the Compassionate (al-Rahman), the Merciful (al-Rahim).” The Koran is virtually an extended commentary on the loving kindness and mercy of God, which is a core tenet of Islam. Perhaps the best summary of this is in the first epistle of John, where we are told to love one another, for love is of God, and God is love.

Green Friday at McCully targets invasive species

The McCully Heritage Project held its last Volunteer Stewardship work day of 2019 on the Friday after Thanksgiving, calling the day “Green Friday.�

Volunteers spent the morning clearing bush honeysuckle and autumn olive from a portion of the woodlands on the McCully property.

Invasive bush honeysuckle and autumn olive are a real concern and environmental issue in the local woodland environments. Both are highly invasive, crowding out native trees and other vegetation.

According to information published by the Missouri Botanical Garden, native trees and vegetation are important for local wildlife as a habitat and source of nutrients. Invasive species are lacking in this nutritional value and change the local ecosystem, resulting in increasing tick and mosquito populations.

Late fall and spring are the best times to work on controlling these invasive species, as they hold their green leaves later than native and green-up sooner.

Areas where honeysuckle is removed will be revisited

year-to-year to follow-up on re-sprouting plants or seedlings.

Volunteer days are held throughout the year at the McCully Heritage Project.

These volunteers are trained to identify the invasive plants and provided with the tools needed to remove the plants. “We have 940 acres, so there’s a lot to manage,�

Michelle Berg Vogel, director of the McCully Heritage Project, said. “In some areas where we are managing for timber production, we conduct timber stand improvements, where the foresters go through and remove invasive species along with other undesirable trees providing space for quality trees to grow. “In other areas we manage for wildlife, or for aesthetics.

Invasive species don’t fit in to any of these goals.�

The best method for controlling honeysuckle is to cut the bush at the base and then treat the stump with glyphosate based herbicide.

Smaller plants can be physically pulled out, roots and all, eliminating the need for herbicide. Cut plants are used to create brush piles providing habitat for birds

and small animals.

Inviting volunteers to help control these invasive species is just one way the McCully Heritage Project works toward creating a healthier forest. “We are so grateful to the hard work our volunteers put in.� Berg said. “We try to show them our appreciation by providing by providing some education and an enriching experience, but also providing them with lunch. “Seeing their progress in clearing a sections of woodlands is also very satisfying for the volunteers. At times the task seems daunting, but after a few hours of work progress can be seen.�

The McCully Heritage Project is a private nonprofit environmental center.

In 2019, they were named the Illinois Outstanding Tree Farmers of the year for their efforts in managing and maintaining a healthy forest and providing educational opportunities about forest management and agroforestry.

More information about bush honeysuckle and how to identify and remove the plant can be found on the Missouri Botanical Garden’s website at the following address: https://www.missouribotanicalgarden.org/ gardens-gardening/gardening-in-st.-louis/invasives/ bush-honeysuckle.aspx.

It is the company’s intention to lease in the neighborhood of 5,000 acres all in a body and if they succeed, they will start to prospecting in early spring of next year. This company is one of the strongest oil companies doing business. This company is capitalized for $15,000,000, so we are reliably informed.

CLASSIFIEDS/COURT

Jacksonville man indicted for sex assault of minor

By KRIS SCHEFFEL Calhoun News-Herald A Calhoun County Grand Jury issued a felony indictment of a Jacksonville man on Friday, Dec. 6, in connection with the sexual assault of a minor.

Donald Kassing, 24, was

indicted for predatory criminal sexual assault of a child, a Class X felony, according to court records.

He was indicted in relation to an incident that was reported to have occurred July 2015.

Kassing, who at the time was over 17 years of age, allegedly

committed an act of sexual penetration against the victim. The victim was under 13 years of age, according to court records.

Because the incident occurred while the victim was a minor, the statute of limitations was extended, court records state.

The incident was disclosed

to the Calhoun County Sheriff’s Office in January 2019. Upon disclosure, the sheriff’s office conducted an investigation and a grand jury was convened, according to a statement by the Sheriff’s Office.

An arrest warrant was issued

by Judge Charles H.W. Burch

with bail set at $250,000 with 10 percent cash to apply.

Kassing was arrested Dec. 8, appearing in court Dec. 10. He will make an appearance in the Calhoun County Circuit Court Jan. 7, 2020, according to the Calhoun County Sheriff’s Office officials.
