ce floes on the river has forced the shutdown of a lot of the ferry traffic going in and out of Calhoun County.

SPORTS

The Kampsville, Brussels and Golden Eagle ferries’ operation stopped Sunday and Monday because of these ice floes, according to officials with the Illinois Department of Transportation District 8. An ice floe is a massive singular sheet of ice floating in the water. Oftentimes, they are found in open waters. However, if the temperatures dip enough, these floes can be found in rivers as well. This was the case on the Illinois River, following frigid temperatures that came in over the weekend

and have yet to leave. “Due to continued ice floe, we are unable to safely operate the Brussels Ferry. Ice is accumulating on both landings,” District 8 officials stated on social media. “Unfortunately, we have closed the Brussels Ferry.” Kampsville closed Sunday, but river current and prevailing winds allowed Brussels to operate longer, but not by much. Sunday afternoon, it was announced that the Golden Eagle will be closed until further notice because of ice, according to the Calhoun Ferry Company. They also announced Sunday that the Winfield Ferry will be open, with the hours of Monday through Saturday 5 a.m. to 9 p.m. and Sunday, Feb. 14, 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. (See, ICE, A2)

Health department is now into Phase 1c By JARAD JARMON Calhoun News-Herald While there are still those in previous phases to get to, the Calhoun Health Department has announced that they are looking at vaccinating Phase 1c individuals, which include those with high-risk conditions. “We are starting to take a list for individuals in Phase 1c that are wanting to get the COVID-19 vaccine,” Jen Shirley, department health educator, said. “This tier is those persons aged 16-64 years with high-risk conditions and essential workers that were not recommended in Phase 1b. We are asking that anyone in this category call 618-576-2428, option 2 then option 2 again to be put on the list.” Local health officials are still work-

Please remember we are only receiving small amounts of vaccine each week and are working as quickly as we can.” (See, PHASE 1C, A2)

By JARAD JARMON Calhoun News-Herald Tax season is just on the horizon, and that means that tax forms have started going out. But this time around, some people are getting forms that do not make much sense. “The State’s Attorney is receiving multiple calls about people receiving 1099s from the State of Illinois, claiming that they receive unemployment money,” Calhoun Chief Deputy Greg Weishaupt said. “...He has had multiple calls this week alone about the people who have received these 1099s.” 1099s serve as a record for tax purposes that an entity or person other than your employer gave or paid you money. There are several types of 1099 forms, one of which is unemployment benefits. According to the Illinois Department of Employment Security (IDES), all individuals who received unemployment insurance (UI) benefits in 2020 will receive the 1099-G tax form. If a person collected unemployment insurance last year, one would need the 1099-G form from IDES to complete your federal and state tax returns. The problem is these people receiving this form did not collect unemployment benefits. “Now that people are starting to do their taxes, they are realizing, ‘Hey, I did not get this unemployment. Somebody did, but now I gotta put it on my taxes,’” Weishaupt said. And in response to this, local law enforcement are calling on residents to be vigilant. “Pay attention to all of the forms you get come tax time,” Weishaupt said. It could be another indication that someone has falsely filed for unemployment in another’s name.

This was a growing concern in 2020, but more and more are finding out that they were a victim of an unemployment fraud scam even into 2021. “Those [scammers] are very active still on the unemployment. This is just a new twist to it,” Weishaupt said. It was reported in August that IDES has uncovered and is investigating a widespread fraud scheme that is being conducted nationwide, impacting each state’s federal Pandemic Unemployment Assistance (PUA) programs, implemented as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. PUA provides 100-percent federally-funded unemployment benefits for hundreds of thousands of individuals who were not traditionally covered by a state’s regular unemployment insurance program, including self-employed individuals and sole proprietors. Under this program, 39 weeks’ worth of benefits are available to PUA claimants whose claims can be backdated as early as Feb. 2, 2020, with benefits ending Dec. 26, 2020. And through this scheme of exploiting the system, county locals have been hit as well. Weishaupt explained new processes to file for unemployment may have opened people up to these scams. Namely, the process to file for unemployment can be done entirely online, and should scammers have enough information, these individuals, often in other countries, could collect on behalf of another. “The people that are doing this got access to name, address and social security number,” Weishaupt said.

Sports are back on – with masks on By JARAD JARMON Calhoun News-Herald Sports are back on in the State of Illinois. Cue angelic music. Boys and girls teams at the Calhoun and Brussels high schools have started their basketball seasons, and junior high athletic seasons are underway as well. There is a lot of excitement to be had for these students to get back on the court. But for these student athletes to get on to the court safely during a pandemic, concessions needed made – notably in the form of spectators, masks and shorter seasons, leaving school officials with mixed feelings. Local superintendents expressed concern and frustration with the state rules, which appear to often be in flux regularly, but also excitement for the students and their families. “I am happy for our kids who want to play. I understand them wanting to play. I understand their parents wanting them to play. And that is a really good thing,” Brussels Superintendent Mark Martin said. “I am not happy that ISBE and the health department and IHSA and IESA can’t stop making

knee-jerk decisions and putting us in a spot.” It was announced a few weeks ago that students would be able to play, and shortly thereafter, the Illinois High School Association, which is in charge of athletics in the state, put out a schedule with truncated seasons for each sport. All of this came in a short period of time from the perspective of local school officials, who have been working hard to wade through the new rules to ensure these students can play. “I realize everybody is trying to do their best on last minute decisions, but I don’t think anybody expected us to move through the tiers or the phases as quickly as we did,” Calhoun Superintendent Andrea Lee said. “It went from one week of thinking, ‘This is never going to happen,’ to all of the sudden it is on – and it is all on.” Among the biggest changes was the athletics schedule. A host of sports including basketball will have seasons ending March 13, and coaches and teams had to work fast to get back into shape for play. (See, SPORTS, A2)

St. Mary’s School benefit on horizon By JARAD JARMON Calhoun News-Herald Even though COVID19 restrictions have been loosened, they are certainly not gone, requiring creativity from those organizing fundraising events in the community. For many of these events with dinners, there is a shift to a drive-thru alternative, and the latest benefit down the pike is going that route. St. Mary’s School Benefit is scheduled from 3-7 p.m. for Saturday, Feb. 20 at the Brussels American Legion, and it will include a drivethru and raffles. “Normally, we would have a sit-down dinner with a silent auction and also a live auction,” Traci Caselton, benefit organizer, said. “But this year, it is all going to be a drive-thru, and then the legion will be open for people to come in at their convenience throughout the weekend and have the chance to buy a card draw ticket and some other different custom raffles that we have.” The drive-thru dinner will serve chicken among other items. On the raffle side of things, they will have a card draw, a drop basket and a grand raffle during the course of the event. As for many organizers, COVID has complicated and limited what the school can do for fundraising, but it has been crucial that benefit organizers find a way to still fundraise – namely with this event. “It is their biggest fundraiser that they have of the year,” Caselton said. And they have managed to plan it, despite the challenges brought on by these guidelines. “We were still able to do some type of fundraising, but obviously we can’t do anything in person right now. We did have to cancel a lot of our in-person fundraisers just because of COVID,” Caselton said. Tickets for the benefit can be purchased through Venmo at @SMaryS or by mailing a check at St. Mary’s School. It was reported in the Calhoun News-Herald last year that for this event creativity was a necessity to fundraise and be safe. Parents and faculty alike have put their heads together for months now to come up with mandate-friendly events that will help bolster the funds needed to operate those private schools in

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

Calhoun County, coming up with some pretty interesting ideas to say the least, especially at St. Mary’s School, where the most recent fundraiser was a Halloween egg hunt. “We’re a tuition-based school, our enrollment is down, and we rely on fundraising every year to keep our school functioning,” St. Mary’s Principal Becky Lorts had said. “Because of COVID-19, we’re having to come up with different types of ideas this year in order to fundraise.” Normally, private schools such as St. Mary’s rely on events like auctions, raffles and picnics to help reach their yearly financial goals, but with pandemic mandates in place, those types of events weren’t able to happen this year. To help them reach their goals while still abiding by health restrictions, parents and faculty at St. Mary’s found other ways to fundraise this year, endeavors like with the Krispy Kreme donut fundraiser last year. Still, between the cancellation of church picnics in Calhoun County, as well as those in Jersey County and elsewhere, it’s safe to say that those organizations that rely on fundraisers to help reach their yearly or longterm goals are definitely hurting. Parochial schools are among the throng of organizations such as historical societies, county fairs, small businesses, hospitals, care facilities and others that are suffering both directly and indirectly from the effects of the COVID19 pandemic. The fire to get through this point in our history is being fueled by the anticipation to make it to the day where masks, social distancing and crippling cancelations will be a thing of the past. Rest assured, when that day comes, it’ll be filled with parties, picnics and surely enough, fundraisers.

t is only natural to answer harshly when someone starts the conversation harshly. Parents often start conversations with their children by yelling at them or asking questions in an accusatory tone, and it is no wonder that their children then take a defensive posture. We do this with our partners, our roommates, and our workmates, and we see it all too often in politics. If strife and division are what we are trying to achieve, the harsh word and the harsh response is a sure way to get it, but if we’re looking for love and unity, we should consider the gentle answer. Admittedly it can be extremely difficult to do this. When someone starts a conversation by yelling at

CALHOUN ELEMENTARY & JR. HIGH SCHOOL

us, or accusing us of something we didn’t do, the natural response is to yell back and accuse the other person of not knowing what they are talking about. But it is better to take a few seconds to consider what the gentle response should be. Sometimes the gentle response is simply to answer truthfully but softly and suggest that the problem can be worked out if we talk about it. Criticism is never easy to take, and however gently it is given, the recipient is likely to feel defensive, but defensiveness need not lead to strife and harsh words. –Christopher Simon

WHAT'S GOING ON BETWEEN THE RIVERS Q Kampsville News

It’s definitely a cold snap. Our ferry had to close Sunday evening because of the ice in the river. For winter-lovers, this is what they love. I am a spring and summer person, and I remind myself daily: it’s just around the corner. Sports have made a return in our schools. We have limited fans, and it is not quite how it used to be, but I focus on the positive. The kids are getting to play. Huge shout out to our administration, school board and staff at Calhoun Unit 40 for making this happen. A huge thank you to our athletic directors, Mark Hillen and Casey Longnecker. They have gone above and beyond for our athletes. The students at Calhoun Unit 40 celebrated 100 days of school this past week. Kindergartners and their teachers dressed up as 100-year-olds. The rest of the school got involved by doing different exercises throughout the day, totaling up to 100 reps by the end of the school day. The Intro to Ag Class assisted with the St. Louis Food Bank last Wednesday in helping to hand out food. The Calhoun FFA will take strawberry orders until Feb. 25. Strawberries will be delivered mid-March. Please contact an FFA member or Heidi Doyle. The St. Norbert’s School

celebrated Catholic Schools Week this past week. Each day the students dressed according to a different theme. On Sunday, they kept their tradition of breakfast. It was a little different this year as they had to do a drive-thru, and they braved the 2 degree temperatures to bring your food to your car. Congratulations to Justin and Traci Hillen on the arrival of their daughter, Sylvie Margaret, weighing 7 lbs., 3 oz. Congrats to big brother Abner, big sisters Francine and Helen, grandparents Terry and Robbie Strauch and Bernie and Robin Hillen and great-grandma Marianne Bailey. Kurt Roth celebrated his 60th birthday on Sunday, Feb. 7. He received lots of cards and visitors at his window. The staff at Calhoun Nursing and Rehab also made sure his day was special. He rounded it out by watching the Super Bowl. Joanne Dexheimer enjoyed a girls’ trip with friends to South Padre Island, Texas, last week. They had a wonderful time. My family celebrated my sister Linda Hazelwonder’s retirement on Saturday night with a get together in her honor, hosted by her children, Michelle Kallal, Traci Gress and Tim Hazelwonder. Linda retired after 34 years at Walmart. Sunday morning, my sib-

lings and I enjoyed the St .Norbert’s delicious breakfast at my house. It’s so much fun just to laugh and talk about memories together. The Landing hosted a pool tournament on Sunday afternoon. Winners were: Dave Bevill in first place; Bud Branham, second place and Emma Godar, third place. Happy Birthday to Whitney Gibson on Feb. 7 and my grandson, Dexter Steffen, who turned five on Sunday, Feb. 7. Our health department continues to work hard to get as many people vaccinated as they can. If you need to be on the list or if you are unsure if they are onto your phase yet on the list, please call them at 5762428. They also continue to do testing as well as, keeping up on contract tracing. Sympathy to the family of Bill Collins, who passed away on Sunday. Please keep his family and friends in your prayers. Please continue prayers for all affected by COVID as well as Ralph Becker, Jim Hill, Kurt Roth, Joe Gress, Linda Herkert, Mathias Baker, Eileen Gardner, Chasity Wickenhauser, Mary Jo Kress, Joyce Blumenberg, Darren Kress, Mark Baalman, Raymond Sievers, Cathy Taul, Bill Schumann, Mark Bowers and Amy Roth.

Quite a change in the weather. We did get a bit of snow on Saturday afternoon and then temperatures dipped down to 5 degrees by Sunday morning. Cold week ahead, only highs of 15 to 20 all week and down to zero or 1 degree every morning. That old groundhog was right! On Saturday, Keith and Becky Baecht, Matthew and Samuel of Jerseyville, hosted a birthday dinner at their home for various members of the family. Present were Matt and Lynette Eberhardt of Chenoa and George and Yvonne Baecht of Golden Eagle. The birthday honorees were Yvonne Baecht, Lynette Eberhardt and Keith Baecht. Sounds like they had a delicious dinner and a wonderful afternoon of visiting. Many more “happy ones” to all of them! My luncheon guests on Saturday were John and Caleb Carnes of Edwardsville. They had visited earlier with Francis and Liz Toppmeyer and brought them groceries and already prepared food for them to enjoy. Then it was onto my house where they made sure everything outdoors was ready for the cold blast this week. They also brought me some goodies to enjoy as well. Can’t thank them enough for taking care of us “old folks” all the time. A.J.’s Bar and Grill entertained on late Sunday afternoon with a Super Bowl Party and free food for those attending. Great group of football fans were present for the evening. Don’t know about them, but the game didn’t go as I hoped. Oh well, winning the game two years in a row doesn’t happen very often! Last week was Catholic School Week, and despite the social distancing and wearing of masks, it sounds like they had some great activities planned for the students. I heard all the volunteers were honored on Tuesday with a driveby luncheon prepared for them. That was a very nice gesture. The ladies of St. Mary’s Quilting Group were among those honored. Such great news to hear Charles Burch is out of the hospital and presently recu-

perating at the home of his daughter and family, Caroline and Vince Stegman and children. His wife, Judy, has also joined them. With the ferries out, it’s best to stay close to the doctor for his next visit. Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers, Charles for a very speedy recovery. I was asked to put a notice in my column of the Angel Ministries facility in Hardin. It is located across from the Hardin Legion on French Street. Anyone in need of blankets, coats, gloves, hats, clothes or shoes please stop by. Hours are 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. every Tuesday and Thursday – unless the weather is bad. Call 618535-3834. Hope you have your calendar marked for Saturday, Feb. 20, for the annual St. Mary’s School Benefit. A drive-by chicken dinner is being held at the Brussels American Legion, serving from 3 to 7 p.m. Congratulations to local students attending SIUEdwardsville for making the Fall 2020 Dean’s List. From this area were Skye Odelehr, Baylee Kiel, Emma Schleeper and Grace Stephens of Golden Eagle and Olivia Pille of Brussels. To qualify, a student must maintain a grade-point average of 3.5 or higher. Hats off to these students! Now for a quick lesson on Valentine’s Day: It is a very old tradition, thought to have originated from a Roman festival. This festival in the middle of February, called Lupercalia, was officially the start of their springtime. It’s thought that as part of the celebration, boys drew names of girls from a box. The day was eventually named after Saint Valentine. The poet, Chaucer, was the first to link St. Valentine with romantic love. This was the beginning of the tradition of courtly love, a ritual of expressing love and admiration. The practice of sending love messages developed into people sending special cards expressing their affection. Now, millions of Valentine’s Day cards are exchanged each year – many along with the gift of roses, which are sent to loved ones.

Scams (Continued from A1) “You go online and apply, and once you do that, they give you the access password to the debit card that is going to be issued,� Weishaupt explained of the fraudulent claim tactic. “Once the debit card gets issued and is in the mail, whoever had received that password information to access the debit card keeps trying to access it. Once they mail it out, it’s valid. So then while it is in transit, they activate the card and transfer the funds overseas before the card ever gets to the physical location.� This coupled with unmanned unemployment offices has potentially opened the door for this kind of fraud. “Unemployment offices were saying they were aware of it,� Weishaupt said. “With the COVID, because they were not manning their offices, a lot of this stuff went unchecked.� Police are asking people to stay wary, and be cognizant when an odd tax form might make its way into one’s mailbox. “It is not junk mail,� Weishaupt said. As previously reported, the IDES is aggressively cracking down on this fraud network, with a team of staffers responsible for handling and investigating unemployment fraud. This team is working directly with individuals whose identities are being used or have possibly been stolen. IDES is also working with local and federal law enforcement authorities to investigate, pursue and prosecute those who are defrauding the unemployment insurance system. It is imperative that individuals take certain steps if they have not filed an unemployment claim and have erroneously received an unemployment debit card or UI finding

letter in the mail. The IDES urges people to take the following steps: Q Immediately call IDES at 800-814-0513, and when prompted, option 1 for claimants and then option 5 for report identity theft. Q Do not activate the debit card that was mailed to you. Q Have your credit report checked for possible suspicious activity and post a fraud alert. Q Visit the Federal Trade Commission’s website to learn helpful tips on recognizing and reporting identity theft. People can also call 1-866999-5630 to be connected the Illinois Attorney General’s fraud line. If a person received a notice or letter from the state saying they owe the state money, the state sent this notice of overpayment in error if the individual recently reported fraud or has not applied for or received unemployment benefits recently. In this case, that person does not owe any money as a result of a fraudulent claim. If you are a victim of fraud, you can ignore the overpayment notice. The increase in the fraudulent unemployment claims is believed to be coming primarily out of the Pandemic Unemployment Assistance (PUA) program. Under the ambiguous federal guidelines, which were developed in haste because of the urgency of the pandemic and issued to every state without a uniform method of implementation, the potential for fraud within this system is abundant. One of the largest vulnerabilities within PUA is the absence of an employer on the other side of the claim to contest the claim in the event it is fraudulent or should be protested. Under regular unemployment insurance guidelines, an

employer has the ability to alert IDES if a claim has been filed in the name of an employee who is currently employed, and has the ability to protest a claim if they believe the employee does not fall into the category of having lost work through no fault of their own. In other scam-related news, Weishaupt urged people to watch out for a scam in which people claim someone won money and requires that they send money to the scammer to get it. A couple reports of this have cropped up in the county in the past month.
