Local to build memorial for ‘Coach Peyton’

By JARAD JARMON Calhoun News-Herald For many in the Calhoun Unit 40 community, there is no doubt that Glenn Peyton, more often referred to simply as “Coach Peyton,� has made a big mark on their life, and locals like Eric Hagen are working to make sure he is recognized for all he has done for those growing up in the county.

Hagen, a Calhoun High School math teacher, had been brainstorming how he might want to see Peyton honored for some time now.

Peyton, the 53-year-old Calhoun Unit 40 coach, referee and educator died on Sept. 22, 2020 following heart surgery, leaving behind a 24-year teaching career and a community that, based on the response to his death, will cherish his memory for decades to come.

But, Hagen, with support of those in the community, wanted to make sure that memory would continue on well beyond his death last year.

Currently, donations are being collected to bring to fruition a patio memorial at the east end of the sports complex in honor of the late teacher.

When he was thinking about what he could do to honor the coach, Hagen, who was a former student and then colleague of Peyton’s, wanted to make sure Peyton’s name would live on. “What I really looked up to Coach Peyton for was the joy he

got out of having an impact on kids,â€? Hagen said. “He came to work every day with a smile on his face‌ I kind of strived to be that‌ I think that that kind of helped shape me. That was the way he taught, and I enjoyed it so I wanted to do that. All the time that he gave up to give to kids – that meant a lot to me.â€?

It was important, though, that whatever memorial was constructed would improve the grounds of the school. “I think he would have wanted some way to improve the school,� Hagen said. “Knowing Mr. Peyton, he does not like a lot of attention, but I think knowing it was a way to improve the school grounds, [he would approve].�

Hagen was inspired when looking out of his classroom at the memorial for Tony Gilman, a former Calhoun High School student who was killed in action during the Kosovo Peacekeeping mission.

Hagen envisioned a similar memorial for Peyton and ensure his colleague’s name is never forgotten. “As soon as these kids go, as soon as our freshmen go, we won’t have any students that were necessarily impacted by Mr. Peyton,� Hagen said. “...I felt like he had given this community a lot, and I think he should be remembered for that.�

So, the plan was set.

With approval from district leadership, Hagen started planning to build a paver patio and seat wall in the east end zone of

More than that though, Hagen understood something needed to be done to recognize this man. “The main thing is‌ I feel like he needs to be recognized for what he did for us. He is the embodiment of what we do here. He was a great teacher.

He was fun. He sacrificed for the community. He coached forever, and after that he spent his evenings reffing, and reffing is not a popular job.�

Hagen, with some who already said they would love to help, will move the flag from the west end zone to the east end of the field into this seat wall paver patio. The labor will be donated by Hagen’s company.

But he did call on the community through social media to help support the cost of mate-

rials, which come out to be around $3,000. Since he posted on his personal page for donations, a whole host of people have come out to support the project. As far as the response since he put the call out there, it has been par for the course for Calhoun County. “We have gotten quite a bit

already,� Hagen said.

Should they get more than the $3,000, Hagen plans to expand the project further, either by making the patio bigger, possibly adding sidewalk from there to the track or nicer capstones. Anything extra would go toward that project.

Sheriff sends letter addressing concern over criminal reform

By LUCAS GARDNER Calhoun News Herald With the recent passing of the criminal reform bill, local police, among others, have been very vocal about their issues with the legislation.

The Illinois General Assembly passed a massive criminal justice omnibus bill on Jan. 13 with only Democratic support, navigating initial opposition from labor unions and municipal interest groups, as well as intense Republican and law enforcement pushback.

The 764-page bill was pushed by the Illinois Legislative Black Caucus as the culmination of nearly 30 hours of virtual hearings in state Senate committees, coordination with the offices of the governor and attorney general, and private negotiations with law enforcement groups and the Illinois court system.

Sheriff Bill Heffington was insistent this bill was “bad news,� and sent a letter Jan. 26 to the Gov. JB Pritzker addressing his concern over the plan. The letter expressed a request to veto, following up with concerns with several new and amended laws within the omnibus. “I am writing today, to request that you veto HB 3653. This bill will have a tremendous impact on the ability of law enforcement to keep our communities safe...The speed, in which the bill was presented and ultimately passed, provided little to no opportunity for transparency or input.� Heffington wrote.

In the letter, he shared some of the most significant concerns identified thus far including but no limited to:

Q Preventing officers from taking immediate and potentially life-saving action in critical situations.

Q The no cash bail provision making it difficult to keep people who are awaiting trial locked up. Without bail, many dangerous offenders will walk free within hours of their arrest.

Q Placing numerous mandates on police agencies with no funding source for local communities.

Q The ability to file anonymous complaints against any officer without having to swear that those complaints are true, and those complaints remain on the officer’s file.

He stressed it before, but Heffington is nervous what this legislation will mean for his deputies and himself. “By the way it sounds, we can’t protect ourselves or anyone else, and if it is the way it was presented, it is bad news,� Heffington said. “But, I would like to get the facts first. A lot is still in the air with this thing.�

For local law enforcement, there’s a feeling of being targeted with this reform. Despite that, this isn’t the only issue Heffington worries about. “Man, I’ll tell you what, this bill is going to cause us to lose police. They want all these police to be held accountable and let the criminals be free. The individual should be held accountable, I said that a long time ago.�

With the bill as it stands today, Heffington worries about the future of law enforcement.

Things to know about Moderna vaccine

By BILL HOAGLAND There are a number of vaccines being developed to combat the COVID-19 virus, and two are already being administered here in the US: the Pfizer mRNA and Moderna mRNA vaccines. Others are on the way, but it appears that in our part of Illinois, the vaccine currently available for eligible groups is Moderna.

So, I thought it would be helpful to review the official report of the test results published after Phase III of this vaccine was concluded. This is just my non-professional interpretation of that report, so for the specifics, you should read the official report, found in the December 30, 2020 edition of the New England Journal of Medicine at NEJM. org. If you can’t find it and want a copy of the complete text, send me an email.

The Moderna mRNA vaccine was tested in three phases. The third phase, designed to test the efficacy of the vaccine, involved roughly 30,000 participants at various locations throughout the US. An effort was made to test the vaccine on a broad spectrum of the population and included participants over 65 years of age, those less than 65 who had heightened risks due to certain pre-existing conditions as well as those between 18 and 65 years of age who did not have heightened risks; participants also included racial and ethnic minorities.

One half of the participants was given the Moderna two-dose vaccine and the other half was given a placebo or fake shot. The second Moderna dose was given 28 days after the first one. All participants were tested 14 days after the first dose just to be sure they had not contracted COVID-19 after the program began.

Then, they were tested again 14 days after the second dose and this testing continued periodically for a total of 63 days following the second dose. At the conclusion of 63 days, the official report was prepared.

As of 63 days after the second dose was administered, here is what we know: the Moderna vaccine had a 94.1 percent success rate, meaning that after the second dose, almost all of the participants who received the two doses did not get the virus later. But, 11 participants who got the two doses did later get the virus.

On the other hand, 185 participants who instead received the placebo also later got the virus. This is sufficient proof that the vaccine is effective—maybe not completely effective but close enough.

Another “good� news aspect of this is that all 11 participants who later contracted the virus had only mild symptoms whereas many of the placebo participants had severe symptoms when they later contracted the virus. Finally, the tests established that the vaccine appears to be effective regardless of age, possible pre-existing conditions, race or ethnicity.

To the extent there were some participants who received just one dose and did not receive the second dose, there is some evidence that even just one dose is more effective than not getting any dose at all but it is not as efficient as two doses and it is not recommended that participants skip the second dose.

Admittedly, there are many unanswered questions about the Moderna vaccine. How long will it remain effective? What happens if you can’t get the second dose in those 28 days? Will the vaccine be effective if the virus continues to mutate? These issues will have to be

Another COVID death reported in county

resolved over time.

Moderna will continue to monitor this control group for two years and try to answer these remaining questions.

Finally, I should mention that many of those persons who received the vaccination had side effects from the shots.

The side effects included soreness at the injection site, and in many cases, fatigue, headaches, myalgia and joint soreness which tended to last from one to three days after the injection.

In a few cases, the side effects did not show up until a week later. The severity of the side effects was generally graded at 1 or 2, meaning minimal discomfort, although there were some exceptions to this as detailed in the report.

Sure, there still are unanswered questions about Moderna. Only time will tell.

But shouldn’t our goal be herd immunity? And the only way we will accomplish that is for all of us to step up and take the vaccination when it becomes available.

Find who you are without your ‘antlers’ In most parts of the country, an odd change for deer begins to take shape during this time of year.

The bucks begin to lose their antlers. By “losing,� I mean the antlers become loose because of several factors, and they just fall off. These abandoned antlers are called sheds. And many people enjoy shed hunting during the late winter and early spring.

If they are not scooped up during this time, the squirrels and other critters will eat most of them. But when found, they make great decorations and can be worth money to others as well. But can you imagine now, what that gigantic ten pointer looks like without his most prized possession?

Well, he looks like every other deer – pretty normal. And not only does he look like every other deer, he no longer has the advantage he once had. And he no longer commands the respect he once com-

manded. And, he has no greater weapons than the younger and lighter-weight deer.

By this simple process of nature, he is stripped of his singular identity and now must allow himself to blend in with other deer of every sort until the time comes when he once again will separate himself as an even more impressive animal than before.

In all our lives, there comes times when God causes our antlers to fall off. Sometimes, he does so without our consent. Other times, he comes to us and asks us to step away from positions and/ or possessions. In those periods, he strips us of those things that were once what we were known for – our identity.

Instead of setting us up, he sets us aside.

Instead of surrounding us with fans, he surrounds us with all sorts of individuals, many of whom have been striped as well. And he works on us, but not on the outside, on the inside. And there He

feeds us, strengthens us and reminds us that our trust and our identity is not in who we are or what we have, but it is in whose we are. When we have grasped that truth, He sends us back out as the special person He has made us to be with more wisdom, strength, beauty and usefulness than we had ever had before.

That is until He must remind us all over again. ––––––––––––––––––– Q Gary has three books that are compilations of the articles he has written for nearly 15 years. He also speaks at game dinners and men’s groups for churches and associations. You can contact him at gary@outdoortruths.org.

good turnout, but you don’t plan for it,� she said.

In April of 2019, 251 ballots were cast in this local election, approximately 7.02 percent of registered voters.

By JARAD JARMON Calhoun News-Herald Another death in relation to COVID-19 has been reported in Calhoun County.

According to the recent numbers posted on social media Feb. 1, the death toll in the county has reached five. Still, Calhoun County has been comparatively fortunate to see the vast majority of afflicted residents recover from the virus. Since the virus made its way into the county, 464 have recovered.

In Greene County, which was given vaccine priority because of the deaths per capita in the county, there have been 42 COVID deaths as of Jan. 30. Pike County has 46 reported COVID deaths, and Jersey County has 44 reported COVID deaths.

Despite the report of another death in the county, other metrics to track the spread of COVID in Calhoun have been positive.

The number of active cases in the county has continued to drop and is now in the single digits. As of Feb. 1, the Calhoun Health Department reported three active cases. There is also a smaller amount of individuals under monitoring, 20 to be precise. Although it has less of a presence in the county, the goal is to see these numbers dive much further as vaccines make their way into the county.

Local health officials, like others in the state, have been working diligently to get people vaccinated. According to the Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH), Calhoun has administered 602 doses of the vaccine.

Health officials in the county have fully vaccinated 138 county residents. This represents 2.87 percent of the

(Continued from A1) “I think the police officers in the country right now feel like there is a big target on their back. It’s like we are the criminals for arresting people committing crimes,� Heffington said. “It demoralizes your staff. I mean you get up in the morning, and you get all this hanging loose in your face and you say, ‘What are we doing?’ We took an oath to protect our people and community and when people start downgrading, it’s tough to deal with,� Heffington said.

Heffington also expressed the importance of just helping the community. “Our job is just to help people out, it doesn’t have to be an arrest. We are here to help in ordinary situations like family issues. Your job as an officer is being a part of the community.�

Heffington continued to explain how law enforcement, citizens and the Sheriff’s Association are waiting on the final outcome of the bill. “We are waiting to see what the final outcome is, but we're all sending our concerns to the governor. My recommendation is to veto the bill and start

People interested in donating to the project are asked to make checks payable to the Calhoun Student Council with the memo “Peyton Memorial.�

Hagen is the adviser for the Student

Council. “By the donations they have already received and the donations that have already come in, people agree that he does deserve it,� Hagen said.

Hagen will give those interested in donating a month to do so, and then is set to map out the project. The goal is for the project to be finished before the end of the school year or the start of the next school year. “I just hope I can build something that will do him justice,� Hagen added.

new,� Heffington said. “Get input from everyone, law enforcement, the state’s attorney and judges as a group. Really iron this thing out, and see what’s best for the community.�

Heading into the lame duck session, the Black Caucus had presented a comprehensive legislative agenda to combat systemic racism based on four pillars of policy, one of which was police accountability and criminal justice reform. “I agree 100 percent that if an officer misuses force, they need to be held accountable just like everyone else,�

Heffington said. “But if someone is resisting arrest, the bill is tying our hands. We need to protect ourselves, too.�

Many of the policy points that had their own subject matter hearings — including police certification, mandatory body cameras and cash bail — made their way into the final legislation.

While some which were in the initial bill – such as ending qualified immunity and restricting police unions’ collective bargaining rights – were stripped from the final package in an amendment

added to House Bill 3653 which passed shortly before 5 a.m. on Wednesday, Jan. 13.

Despite a concern over funding, Heffington has no issue with body cameras and training, and in Heffington’s opinion, “the main ingredient is our community.� “In my opinion, we should get all of our groups together, iron it out and make it better for the citizens. That is our main ingredient you know, our community.

We have a lot of good families and family lives, our schools have programs that get the kids involved, but they seem like they wanna defund everything.� Heffington said.

Further into the letter addressed to the governor, Heffington communicated his concerns with key points within the bill. “The haste, in which this bill passed and signed, will create situations that will not further those protections. We are still in the process of understanding all of the impacts contained in the 764 page bill,� Heffington added.

Of the other counties in the state, Calhoun has inoculated the second highest percentage of their respective population, according to current IDPH data.

Vaccination data is reported based on the date IDPH receives vaccination reports from providers. Providers are to report as soon as practicable, but reporting can be delayed as much as 72 hours, which can lead to a lag between vaccines delivered to Illinois and vaccines administered. These numbers represented what stood as of Feb. 1.

Local health officials have pushed for more vaccines, and recently, the minimum shipment of doses has gone up to 200, meaning there is an expectation that local health officials will be able to get to more vaccinations in a shorter time frame.

As was previously reported, vaccination dose shipments have been based in part on the need.

Calhoun County was further down the list in comparison to surrounding counties to first receive doses, but for good reason.

Neighboring counties like Jersey and Greene, along with others across the state, saw a shipment of doses earlier because of their higher respective rates of death per capita. It was reported that the initial doses were distributed in the 50 counties with the highest per capita death rates.

WHAT'S GOING ON BETWEEN THE RIVERS Q Kampsville News

by Diane Brangenberg Q 618-653-4520

So many kids and adults enjoyed a snow day last Wednesday.

Lots of sledding, snowball fights and an early dismissal from school. It has certainly changed since we were little, and you anxiously got up early just to listen to WJBM to see if your school was canceled.

Even though I’m not a winter person, everyone needs a snow day sometimes.

Friday mornings in Kampsville continue to start off the Warrior Way for kids waiting for the bus to pick them up. This past Friday, Tina Jones and Heidi Doyle drove through honking and handing out Poptarts.

The smiles on the kids' faces are the perfect way for anyone to start their day.

On Friday, the kids at Calhoun Unit 40 got to have “Hat Day,” where the students all got to wear hats to school.

If you saw lots of “little old people” on Friday, those were the students from Mrs. Goode’s class at St. Norbert’s. They were celebrating 100 days of school by dressing up as 100-year-olds.

Speaking of 100 year olds, a very happy 105th birthday to Hazel Bailey on Jan. 30. I’m sure she would love getting cards.

Please send them to Calhoun Nursing and Rehab. The address is #1 Myrtle Lane, Hardin Il 62047.

Happy 11th Wedding Anniversary to Judge Burch and Gwen on Jan. 30.

Happy 40th Anniversary to Mark and Debbie Becker on Jan. 31.

Sympathy to the family of Larry Churchman, who passed away last week. Larry was a teacher at Calhoun Unit 40 for many years before retiring.

Sympathy also to the Harold Schumann family. Harold was the oldest brother of Ted “Redeye” Schumann. I got to meet him in 2019 at Redeye’s 90th birthday party.

After his burial at Summer Grove cemetery on Saturday, the Schumann family got together for a dinner at the Kampsville Legion.

Please add Jerry Crader to your prayers and continue prayers for Jim Hill, Kurt Roth, Joe Gress, Amy Roth, Raymond Sievers, Mary Jo Kress, Mathias Baker, Darren Kress, Bill Schumann, Joyce Blumenberg, Linda Herkert, Mark Baalman, Mark Bowers, Eileen Gardner, Chasity Wickenhauser and Cathy Taul.

Groundhog Day was Feb. 2 – too early for this week’s paper. We’re hoping for an early spring.

The Calhoun County Health Department is administering shots by appointment only for the coronavirus. The world is getting better with more people getting the vaccination.

Robin Hillen took her mother, Mary Ann Bailey, to the doctor in Alton last Friday. Over the weekend, Robin and Mary Ann took a drive to Ellisville, Mo. where they visited with Mary Ann’s daughter, Rosemarie, and her husband, Rick Randazzo, and their daughter, Morgan, and her son, Luke. They had a wonderful time, and Mary Ann stayed the weekend. Robin picked her up Sunday.

Ben and Amy Schatzle and children Ian and Alice visited Lindy and Martha Bick over the weekend. They had a sleep over at grandpa and grandma‘s house, and had fun visiting with cousins Levi and Claire, children of Dave and Rachel Bick. They had Christmas presents to receive and time to play and have fun together. Aunt Katie and relatives were there and visited during the weekend.

Wilma Krysl had visitors this week.

Her children, Terry Stumpf, Elaine Titus, Michelle Wieneke and Bob Krysl were there.

Winter Dance Now the snow’s pearl slippers dance While children watch, held in a trance, Brown feet of trees cover with silk, And sparrows drink the winter’s milk.

I, who have seen a thousand snows And been a poet to rainbows, Still marvel every winter day That God sends miracles this way!

Weather still a bit unsettled. We did get about 2 inches of snow on Wednesday, but rain over the weekend melted that pretty quick. Now Monday, it is back to mid 30’s and overcast. By Thursday, it will be in the upper 40’s and more rain. Less than 50 days to spring, but who’s counting?

Feb. 2, 1887 – Groundhog Day, featuring a rodent meteorologist, is celebrated for the first time at Gobbler’s Knob in Punxsutawney, Penn. According to tradition, if a groundhog comes out of its hole on this day and sees its shadow, it gets scared and runs back into its burrow, predicting six more weeks of winter; no shadow means an early spring.

Groundhog Day also has its roots in the ancient Christian tradition of Candlemas, when clergy would bless and distribute candles needed for winter. The candles represented how long and cold the winter would be. Germans expanded on this concept by selecting an animal, the hedgehog, as a means of predicting weather.

Once they came to America, German settlers in Pennsylvania continued the tradition, switching from hedgehogs to groundhogs, which were plentiful in the keystone state. Let’s hope it doesn’t see its shadow, and we have an early spring!

Carol Stepanek of the Deer Plain Subdivision celebrated her birthday last Tuesday.

Her daughters, Carol Drainer and Angie Tepen, took her out for the day, having lunch at the Olive Branch in Jerseyville and shopping afterwards. On Thursday, her son, Bobby, of Jerseyville spent the day with her and over the weekend her son, Joey, of Dow visited. Sounds like she had a great birthday. Best wishes Carol for a happy and healthy year ahead.

On Sunday afternoon, Annie Hagen of the Deer Plain Subdivision celebrated her birthday. All her family was present, providing a wonderful dinner and afternoon together.

Best wishes Annie for a happy and healthy year ahead.

Starting on Sunday, Catholic School Week is being celebrated this week at all Catholic schools. With the social distancing and wearing of masks, many activities had to be changed a bit from previous years. I’m sure the staff will still have great ideas to

make it a fun week.

The Calhoun County Health Department began COVID-19 vaccine inoculations last week in Phase 1B. This includes a large number of people, educators, as well as those 65 and older.

OBITUARY LARRY JOSEPH CHURCHMAN Larry Joseph Churchman, 80, of Carrollton, went home to be with his Lord and Savior on Tuesday, January 26, 2021, with his beloved wife and children at his side at Memorial Medical Center in Springfield, IL. Born on March 29, 1940, up Churchman Hollow in Kampsville, IL, he was the son of the late Charles Freemont “Jake” and Nellie (Brangenberg) Churchman.

He will lovingly be remembered by his wife, the former Patsy Bland, whom he wed on June 14, 1964. Larry and Patsy met while he was serving as her crew boss when detasseling corn at Columbiana Seed Company. Together, they were blessed with three children: Alan (Michelle) Churchman of Jerseyville, Kathy (Brian) Schnettgoecke and Vicki (Randall) Custer, both of Carrollton.

He was extremely proud of his grandchildren: Seth and Sean Churchman, Brent and Baily Schnettgoecke, Madlyn, Breden, and Claire Elaine Custer. He is also survived by his sister, Doris (Don) Eageny of Elgin.

Larry was preceded in death by his parents, a brother, Russell Churchman, and a stepfather, Merlin “Doe” Richter. He was also preceded in death by his cousin and “best friend”, Roy Brangenberg.

Larry was a proud 1958

graduate of Hardin High School, where he began a successful basketball career, leading his team to the 1957 regional championship. After high school, Larry attended SIUE where he played basketball as a starting point guard for the Cougars. He received his BS in Physical Education and later received his MS in Instructional Technology, both from SIUE. Larry was an educator at Calhoun High School for 31 years, serving as a social studies teacher, physical education teacher, dean of students, as well as coaching track, baseball, and basketball. He was the first basketball coach at Calhoun High School to win a regional championship in 1966. He loved playing fast pitch softball, the L.A. Dodgers, golf, and University of IL basketball. He was inducted into the Springfield Sports Hall of Fame and the Calhoun Sports Hall of fame. He was a sought after fastpitch softball pitcher.

After retirement, he spent the remainder of his days on his farm in Carrollton that he truly loved. He spent many days working on a tractor plowing and planting. He especially enjoyed working on the farm with his grandchildren.

Many will remember his warm, engaging smile, sense of humor, strong faith

When Religion Becomes Drudgery Rull Brothers Hardin, IL

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

“It is imperfection in Religion to drudge in it, and every man drudges in Religion if he takes it up as a task and carries it as a burden.”

–Benjamin Whichcote

G

oing to church, reading scripture, and praying can become drudgery if we see these things as nothing more than tasks which must be done rather than a joyful communion with our Creator. It is good to pray and read scripture every day, and to go to church regularly, but if you are only doing it out of a sense of duty you are missing the spirit of the thing and are surely not getting out of it what you might be if you could connect with the joy at the center of all true religion. When we cannot go to church or read scripture we may feel the lack to such a degree that we regain the sense of joy when we

return to it, suggesting that it’s alright to take an occasional break from our religious routines. Perhaps a better way to regain that experience of holy joy is to occasionally alter how you pray, read scripture, or otherwise practice religion. Going to a different church, praying new prayers, or simply engaging in different religious practices can sometimes reconnect us to God in a way that our old routines cannot.

The shovel is mightier than the snow Pre-K Director Lisa Kallal uses a shovel as a defense in a fun snowball fight with fellow educators, Crissy Keil, a second grade teacher and Tera Pohlman, a Pre-K teacher, outside of Calhoun Elementary School for the first significant snowfall of the season.

It is a sign of a return to normalcy. Brussels teacher Amy Manker is all smiles after getting her COVID-19 vaccine. The first dose of the vaccine was administered among the staff in the Brussels and Calhoun school districts last week and the week before. According to Illinois Department of Health vaccination data, 602 doses have been administered in the county. Approximately 138 have been fully vaccinated, representing 2.87 percent of the population. Data are reported based on the date IDPH receives vaccination reports from providers. Providers are to report as soon as practicable, but reporting can be delayed as much as 72 hours, which can lead to a lag between vaccines delivered to Illinois and vaccines administered.

Calhoun High School students receive yearbook recognition

By LUCAS GARDNER Calhoun News Herald The Calhoun High School Yearbook staff received recognition in several categories for the 2019 yearbook they produced.

Recognition was given to them during the Illinois Journalism Education Association (IJEA) Yearbook competition of 2020.

This year was the first time we’ve actually heard back,�

Yearbook Adviser Rachel Maupin said. “We finished it in 2019, and my (editors-in-chief),

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.

Alyssa LaMarsh and Ethan Schobernd, had to get written permission from their parents to return after they graduated to finish it.�

The design of the yearbook was under consideration by Alyssa LeMarsh for a year and ultimately took the form of a letterman's jacket. Both the front and back cover were designed to look like the respective sides of the classic high school outerwear. “Alyssa and Ethan kept the cover design secret but the students knew the theme was ‘This is us’ but didnt know what it looked like,� Maupin said.

Once the students saw the yearbook, it got lots of praise. “It was kind of like Christmas when the students saw them. They were surprised, and they had lots of compliments on the yearbook,� Maupin said.

The game was a thriller from start to finish and kept the crowd, one of the largest since basketball was inaugurated at Hardin, in a frenzy of excitement until the final whistle.

Hardin took the lead early and was never overcome, except for one brief period when Jerseyville slipped ahead by three points. The local lads outplayed and outfought the Jersey five and deserved to win.

The second team beat Jerseyville’s seconds 24 to 12. The Hardin teams have played exceptionally good ball this season, having run up an enviable record, and they and the coach deserve a lot of praise and confidence.

100 years ago Feb. 3, 1921 A new stylish fad, it seems, has struck our fair sex. If any of our readers haven’t yet noticed it, we invite them to take a look and see if they can’t notice how much more whiter the nose of a fair damsel is than other parts of the face.

Of course, this can’t be noticed on all of our fair sex because the fad hasn’t yet struck ‘em all. The News has been informed that it’s the style and that the whiter the nose the more stylish it is.

It is said that powder will no longer do the trick so as to please the extremely stylish, and that an enamel which will stay on and remain unsmudged for a long, long time is being sold and some of our fair damsels are using this enamel.

But the question seems to arise as to what might happen to one of these enameled noses if its owner should poke it into somebody else’s business.

Looking at the Belle of Calhoun, era of the steamship

By CONNOR ASHLOCK Calhoun News-Herald Last week, the Calhoun News-Herald featured a story regarding the Belle of Calhoun, the Kingdom’s most famous steamer, the events surrounding her maiden voyage and the impact that steamships had on Calhoun’s history, economy and culture.

Though steamships were in the height of the glory days in the mid-to-late 19th century, they were still a common sight along the Mississippi and Illinois rivers well into the early twentieth century, especially around Calhoun County, where river travel played a vital role in exporting Calhoun apples to markets in St. Louis, Alton and beyond.

Calhoun County has never once had a railroad line pass through the county, one of five counties in Illinois to bear that distinction today.

But, back in the old days, that distinction was all the more realized by residents who knew that the only other means of travel aside from wagons in the summer and sleighs in the winter was to travel by river.

And, often enough, that travel was done via steamer.

Steamers proved to be quite the experience for folks back in the day, especially children who were enjoying a holiday, traveling to another county or even traveling to another part of Calhoun.

Lela Marie (Wilson) Freesmeyer, who was born in 1906 and grew up near Hamburg, would go on to live a full life and would publish her memoir, “Acorns from an Oak Tree,” in 1995.

It is a fount of knowledge that will help anyone interested cultivate a knowledge in Calhoun’s history.

Freesmeyer would write about all sorts of things, from family history to poetry, but her work is also replete with stories that paint a beautiful picture about life in Calhoun County in the early 1900’s.

One story in particular revolves around her experiences with steamboats.

“My introduction to the steamboats came at a very early age when I heard their whistles for landings,” Freesmeyer wrote. “Each boat (there were usually two on each river) had its own whistle like the telephones on the party line, such as two longs or a long and two shorts.”

Her parents, like many in those days, would take her along into Hamburg to trade goods such as eggs and chickens, and little Marie Wilson would sometimes go watch cargo being loaded and unloaded.

“The fancy-dressed passengers from the city might come ashore and stroll around town, if they had time,” Freesmeyer added.

Having family that lived on Front Street in Hamburg, Freesmeyer would often stay with them, their yard offering a front-row view of life on the Mississippi.

“The large warehouses where all the incoming and outgoing freight was stored, blocked the view of the river somewhat, but one could, and many did, rush down to the riverbank when the whistle of an arriving boat was heard,” Freesmeyer wrote. “The cry, ‘Here comes the Belle of

LELA MARIE (WILSON) FREESMEYER Calhoun,’ would be shouted by some observing citizen and repeated by others. From the vantage point I watched all the interesting happenings and longed to go aboard.”

One day, she got her wish when a familiar face from the area, who was piloting a steamer, took her and her cousin aboard and showed them around the whole steamboat.

Another time, the mothers of Marie and her cousin had arranged for the two girls to spend a week with their grandmother, who lived roughly 20 miles away. They boarded the “Dubuque,” which paddle-wheeled them up the river to Rip Rap Landing, the landing closest to their grandmother’s house.

The girls enjoyed watching the tomfoolery unfold between passengers and deckhands, exploring the vessel and enjoying the breeze on deck while watching the panorama unfold as they observed the banks of Calhoun County on one side and Pike County, Mo., on the other.

“We spent unnecessary time in the ‘Ladies Room’ located at the rear or stern of

the boat. From there we could look down through the bottomless toilet and watch the huge paddle wheel bring up and dispense the water as it performed its duty of propelling the boat,” Freesmeyer explained. “At least we learned a bit about navigation.”

Though that trip was a memorable one for Freesmeyer, it only whetted her appetite for a longer ride. So, when her “Papa” had to make a trip to St. Louis, booking a cabin on the Dubuque, he brought her along as well, affording her the chance to really embrace river travel in all its finery.

“I watched the whiteaproned…gentlemen putting leaves in the small side tables, making them into long dining tables which extended down the lengthy hall between the two rows of cabins,” Freesmeyer wrote. “Soon the bell sounded calling the passengers to assemble for the meal, which proved to be an elegant one, indeed. Each place setting was complete with a linen napkin, more silver than I was accustomed to using, and even a finger bowl.

After a three-course meal had been served, the tables were cleared, shortened, and put to one side so the passengers might assemble there to talk or play games.”

The explorative Freesmeyer, though, chose to go back on the deck and enjoy playing with the other young people, but she didn’t neglect to take in the view of the river she had already admired.

“With several other young people, I watched the deck hands below, and the gorgeous scene the river made in

the moonlight,” Freesmeyer wrote.

Indeed, residents in Calhoun, like their neighbors in the bottoms, love the rivers, if not at least respect them. And, they especially the steamboats that made their way of life possible.

“Autumn was the busiest time for the steamboats as they transported thousands of barrels of apples from Calhoun County to commission men in St. Louis. When the apple harvest was completed and the merchants and others had obtained their winter supplies, the steamboats soon made their final run of the season. Calhoun citizens hated to see that day come,” Freesmeyer wrote.

Freesmeyer is one of many children from that era who have recorded the memories of their experiences of the famed steamboats of the Mississippi River, and in doing so, has contributed to the body of knowledge that later generations of Calhoun citizens have been able to celebrate as part of their county’s story.

From the first encounters with steamships in Calhoun in the 1830’s, to the interesting story behind the Belle of Calhoun and the experiences of Marie Wilson Freesmeyer on the Dubuque, it’s plain to see that the story of Calhoun can’t be told without telling the story of the steamer.

The steamer is as much a part of the Kingdom’s story as the apple and the peach.

Quotes are from “Acorns from an Oak Tree,” which was authored by Lela Marie (Wilson) Freesmeyer and published by Campbell Publications in 1995.

good GROWING Keeping you growing with good ideas s University of Illinois Extension

Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the best thing to feed the birds?

People love to feed birds.

Aside from gardening, it is considered one of the most popular hobbies around the globe. And even some would argue, feeding the birds is a part of gardening. In the winter months, many find joy in watching a flurry of feathered friends, feeding at the feeder.

The bird food we set out helps to give those birds that stick around Illinois over the winter an energy boost to keep their body temperatures up on these cold days.

Whether you are new or a veteran of feeding the birds, many often ask â&#x20AC;&#x201C; What is the best bird food? Now the answer to that question depends on what your goals are for the feeder. What species do you want to attract?

Are you going to be active in keeping up the feeder?

And what are you willing to spend to feed the birds?

Stores that sell bird food can offer lots of choices of seed mixes. Making the process of feeding the birds a bit confusing. Feeding birds does not have to be overly complicated.

I recommend keeping it simple. Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s look at some of the individual ingredients commonly found in bird seed mixes to see what may work best for your situation.

Black-oiled sunflower seed is attractive to the greatest variety of birds overwintering in Illinois.

With a thin shell and energy-rich seed, black-oil sunflower seed can easily be consumed by many bird species. When it comes to simplicity, setting out only sunflower seed is about as

easy as it gets.

You can also get hulled sunflower seed which is essentially black-oiled sunflower without the seed shell. If you have set out sunflower seed youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve likely experienced a mess that occurs under the feeder as birds split open the shell and drop it to the ground.

Hulled sunflower seed cuts down on the debris found under the feeder.

Since thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no shell to get in their way, it is very attractive to birds. Of course, this comes with a higher price tag and a greater risk of seed spoilage.

Millet is a small round grain that is good for ground-foraging birds such as juncos and sparrows.

With a small bag of millet, it is simple to toss a handful of it on the ground below the feeder every so often. To attract larger ground-feeders like quail and doves, try mixing in some cracked corn to the millet.

Nyjer seed has become popular as it is attractive to the coveted American goldfinch. Because Nyjer seed is so small, it does require a special feeder with smaller openings. To avoid waste it is recommended to not mix Nyjer seed with other birdseed.

Milo is similar in appearance to millet, but this is not a favored seed for overwintering Illinois birds. Milo is often considered a filler ingredient in many inexpensive seed mixes. Illinois birds will typically avoid eating milo and leave it behind in the feeder or on the ground.

Therefore, I avoid it too.

Calhoun News-Herald

goes great with a cup of coffee

Suet is my favorite thing to leave out for birds in the winter. I enjoy watching the different species it attracts, including the cling feeders like woodpeckers. Commercial suet comes in cakes comprised of beef kidney fat. Recipes vary from there and mixed within the cake can be found all types of seed, nuts, and berries in various combinations.

If you were to poke your head in my backyard, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d find only black oiled sunflower seed on a platform feeder and cages of suet feeders hung throughout the landscape. It may be simple, but it still puts on quite a show for these winter months.

Good Growing Tip: Prevent fatal bird strikes caused by your windows.

Place bird feeders close (within 3 feet) or farther away (10 feet or farther) from your home.
