Deer harvest in county up for season

By JARAD JARMON Calhoun News-Herald This season was a successful one for deer hunters in the county, according to this year’s preliminary harvest numbers.

Calhoun County, like many other counties in the state, saw an increase in the deer harvest in comparison to last year, which Tim Krumwiede, district wildlife biologist with the Illinois Department of Natural Resources (IDNR), said was to be expected.

Krumwiede said the deer are continuing to bounce back after the population was ravaged by the Epizootic Hemorrhagic Disease (EHD) a little under a decade ago.

Today, the deer populations are relatively free of the disease. Notably, Krumwiede said he had not received a call this season regarding a deer found dead with EHD, which is reported the local IDNR offices, suggesting EHD was not as much of an issue in the county this season.

This along with other factors have

made for a successful deer harvest in the county.

According to IDNR numbers, the deer harvest total in Calhoun was 1,837 for the 2019-20 season, a sizable difference from the 1,710 the season before.

Among a host of factors, flood waters in the area — minimal but still present by the time deer season rolled around — might have played a role in the harvest in the county, or at least where the bulk of the hunting took place. “Deer were pushed into higher ground,� Krumwiede said.

Krumwiede said with many of the low lying areas flooded, deer in the county were more concentrated in higher ground, making for relatively easy pickings for those hunting deeper and higher in the county. At the same time, though, this limited the opportunities to hunt on public lands, many of which are low-lying.

In addition to the inaccessibility of some public land, the amount of standing crop in the fields likely did not make it easy for hunters. The crop harvesting season was delayed because of the seem-

Krumwiede explained deer can find spots in the standing crop that become very hard to see.

Even still, the Calhoun’s harvest numbers went up — a trend seen across the state. According to the IDNR, hunters in Illinois harvested a preliminary total of 153,048 deer, a majority of which were male, during all 2019-20 archery and firearm seasons, which concluded Jan. 19.

The total preliminary deer harvest for all seasons compares with a total harvest for all seasons of 151,709 deer in 2018-19.

Other neighboring counties saw similar the bigger harvest as well, except for Pike County, which saw a dip. Krumwiede said Pike was affected by EHD leading

2019-20 1,837 1,327 2,072 4,387

2018-19 1,710 1,256 1,965 4,442

to population reductions in the county.

He said there were several calls of deer found with the disease. Because of this, Pike had a total of 4,387 deer harvested in comparison to the 4,442 harvested the season before. In Jersey County the harvest number is 1,327 this season, a jump from 1,256 last season.

As was the case across the state, Calhoun’s harvest this season was predominantly from the archery season hunting.

Based on totals from the season, many in the county opted to take advantage of the archery season instead of or in addition to the firearm season. Krumwiede (See, DEER, A2)

Local history could be infused into Brussels curriculum

Patrick Simon, member of the Brussels School Board proposed the idea during a recent school board meeting.

The idea was tabled with need for further investigation into the possibility of adding local history into the curriculum. Brussels Superintendent Mark Martin said it would be take time before the school district could find out if it would be feasible to include a unit on local history. “Right now, it is just an idea,� Martin said.

Martin said the district needs to make sure it can fit in the curriculum, taking into account the myriad of federal and state curriculum requirements regarding each subject.

This year’s dance will include everything one might associate with a ’50s diner: Burgers, fries, onion rings and an ice cream parlor.

Once called the FatherDaughter Dance, the event formerly brought together girls from the community and their fathers to dance the night away. Now however the event centers on offering a chance for a girl to bring their father, brother, uncle or any other special guy in her life. The dance has since changed to better represent those who might not be able to bring their fathers. “We want the girl to make memories with that special guy in her life,� Debbie Kamp, Brussels event organizer, said.

The event has been alternating sites and coordination with the Brussels Girl Scout troop for the last several years. This year, the

event will be hosted from 6:15-9:30 p.m. Feb. 7 at the Brussels American Legion Hall. This will be the third time its held in Brussels.

Kamp said the event has drawn in 136 sign-ups (including girls and their dates) as of Friday evening.

Kamp said they opened up the registration until Sunday, Feb. 2, but said they would try to accommodate those who did not register in time.

People can register at meandmyguydance.com.

The dance is restricted to girls age pre-school through eighth grade. Kamp said some will be dressing to fit the theme — this year being the ’50s — with poodle skirts, but those participating can dress more formally as well.

Entertainment will be provided for the evening.

The purchase of a ticket will include dinner, activities, a printed picture, dancing and each girl will receive a stuffed animal and other party favors.

Kamp stressed this is an event not possible without community, namely the help of parents and other organizers including Lea Miller and Nancy Robeen.

It is raining iguanas in South Florida Deer

By BILL HOAGLAND If you are a senior citizen, you probably remember the expression, “It is raining cats and dogs.” I don’t hear that expression much any more, but in the good old days, it meant a very heavy rainstorm. In South Florida this week, the senior citizens there might be using a new expression: “It is raining iguanas.”

What they are talking about are those huge, invasive green lizards from South America that have in essence taken over South Florida; due to a cold snap with temperatures in the 30’s as far south as Miami, these critters have been numbed by the cold temperatures and are falling out of trees left and right. It is so bad that the weather reports on several television stations in the Miami area are warning residents of the dangers of a falling iguana.

Iguanas can grow to six feet in length—from tongue to tail—and weigh almost 10 pounds.

The risk, as I understand it, is that some of the iguanas falling out of the trees are dead and some are simply stunned; if you handle a stunned iguana, the con-

cern is that he might bite you when he wakes up. The other concern, I assume, is that you might get whacked in the head by a falling iguana.

And that would be a rather inglorious way to meet your demise: felled by a falling iguana while picking up the morning paper in the yard.

The reaction by the residents in South Florida to this situation is mixed and frankly, humorous. One woman found a stunned iguana lying in her yard so she covered it with a blanket and a beanie. When she returned later to check on her new friend, the blanket was still there but the iguana and the beanie were gone.

(Do you suppose this iguana had plenty of explaining to do when he got home wearing a beanie?)

Some South Florida residents are more entrepreneurial about this development; they are skinning the iguanas they find on the ground and selling them on the internet as a unique gourmet experience.

No doubt there is a food truck out there somewhere in south Miami selling iguana tacos as this week’s special. So how would you like a taco containing the body of a roasted

Curriculum (Continued from A1) “There would have to be some planning,” Martin said.

During the meeting, several local authors that have chronicled the area’s local history were mentioned as potential sources for the proposed unit in history.

Martin expressed support for the idea.

“It is good to be proud of and have respect for where they live,” Martin said.

During the meeting, updates on a couple of the ongoing were provided or preliminary projects in the schools.

The new electric HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning) system project is finishing up. Once finished, practically everything in the district will be on the new system except for the workshop building. Before, the old heating and air conditioning system was “pretty much original” using fuel oil, an outdated form out heating a building, Martin said.

“It was outdated a long time ago,” he said.

The district is still looking for prices on the instal-

lation of a new set of doors in the gym. Martin said the doors were overdue for a replacement, but the installation is also an opportunity to enhance the security of the building at its entrances.

Also during the meeting, the school board OK’d the cooperative trap team with the Calhoun 40 school district. This is the second year of the cooperative.

“We have a number of kids who really enjoy it,” Martin said.

During the meeting, special recognitions were made including to: Q Macy Jacobs for being the Brussels High School Student of the Month. Jacobs has gone above and beyond to prepare for final exams, always asking questions, staying after school, coming in before school and emailing any questions she has.

Her drive to be successful is role model for others, according to the school district.

Q Tessa Clark for being the Raider Recognition win-

that iguanas have ruined an earthen dam in West Palm Beach, which will have to be replaced at substantial cost.

They should never have been imported here in the first place. I bet there are folks in Miami wishing that that cold snap could last about 30 days. That would eliminate the iguana problem and maybe the Burmese python problem as well.

––––––––––––––––––– Q Bill Hoagland has practiced law in Alton for more than 50 years, but he has spent more than 70 years hunting, fishing and generally being in the great outdoors. His wife, Annie, shares his love of the outdoor life.

Much of their spare time is spent on their farm in Calhoun County.

ner. Clark politely emailed questions to Jennifer Wilschetz during a recent snow day and was very polite when she spoke to her before class, according to the school district.

Q Sadie Kiel for being the Brussels Elementary School Student of the Month for January. Sadie’s favorite subject is math, her hobbies are basketball, softball and volleyball. Her favorite book is “Dairy of a Wimpy Kid,” and her favorite food is McDonald’s French fries.

She was chosen because of her positive attitude and for always being willing to help others, according to the school district Q Those with perfect attendance for the second quarter at the high school and elementary school including Mary Baalman, Alyssa Bonner, Olivia Brodbeck, Dustin Forrest, Isabella Friedel, Aarion Fuhler, Emma Hagen, Zachary Holmes, Matthew Kiel, Nicholas Kiel, Gracie Klaas, Hope Odelehr, Linsey

with 80,957 deer taken during the 2018 firearm season.

“Guys are killing their deer by other means (than by firearm),” the IDNR biologist said.

Youth deer harvest saw an increase as well. Krumwiede said good weather likely helped increase the youth harvest in the county. Young deer hunters across the state harvested a preliminary total of 3,775 deer during the threeday Illinois Youth Deer Season Oct. 12-14, 2019, compared to 1,660 in 2018. In Calhoun, 56 deer were harvested this season, while only 21 were harvested the season before.

When it comes to the size of the deer that was killed this season, Krumwiede said it all depends on which hunter you talk to. Whether it was a big buck or a small doe, those hunting in Calhoun definitely came away with something.

iguana? I assume they are crunchy, but what do I know?

One expert, Frank Mazzotti, a professor of wildlife ecology at the University of Florida, claims that a roasted iguana is actually “excellent to taste” in addition to having lots of protein. Let me guess—they taste like chicken, right? Mazzotti claims that the iguana is so great as a food source that in parts of South America, the iguana is almost extinct because people love to eat them. Really?

If that is so, then why has the State of Florida issued a directive for folks in South Florida to kill iguanas on sight? This directive is not accompanied by a suggestion that you fire up the grill and invite the neighborhood over for an iguana potluck.

The truth is that these iguanas are very destructive. Just last week, it was determined

(Continued from A1) said the acceptance of crossbows during the archery season, which ran from Oct. 1 to Jan. 19, made this year’s hunt accessible to more deer hunters.

“Crossbows are good for everybody,” he said.

This season, 891 deer were hunted during the archery season. Last season, 776 deer were harvested during archery season. Statewide, bow hunters in Illinois took a preliminary total of 67,696 deer during the season. That compares with the harvest of 61,096 deer during the 2018-19 archery season.

At the same time, the firearm harvest dipped from 853 in 2018-19 to 848 in 2019-20 in the county. At the state level, hunters took a preliminary total of 75,349 deer during the firearm season Nov. 22-24, 2019 and Dec. 5-8, 2019, compared

Calhoun Warriors take home Beardstown tournament title

The Calhoun Warriors team went 4-0 in the Beardstown Tournament and took home the Championship title.

25 Years Ago February 8, 1995 Flood questions were once again one of the main topics of discussion for the Village Trustees of Hardin at their meeting on Monday, Feb. 6.

Stephanie Alto of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) will be in Hardin every third Tuesday of the month at 1 p.m. until the project is finished if anyone has any questions.

“The mitigation measures for the redevelopment site regarding the EA (environmental assessment) need to be done before any EDA (Economic Development Agency) or DCCA (Department of Commerce and Community Affairs) money will be released for the redevelopment site,” Alto said.

The final deadline for buyout and elevation participation is Feb. 15, 1995.

“The appraisals are not going to affect the deadline as long as you’re signed up,” Alto continued.

The Mitigation Plan is different than the EA mitigation measures. The Hazard Mitigation Plan is the hazards that the Village needs to be concerned about. It identifies them and talks about the kinds of mitigation measures. This Plan will eventually be incorporated into the State Hazard Mitigation Plan.

Alto suggested using the AmeriCorps representatives who were at last month’s meeting to do some of this mitigation. They need the work using the Village’s input, and it would help the Village at the same time be relieving the pressure on them.

50 Years Ago February 5, 1970 Older people entering the hospital under Medicare will soon pay more of their bill, according to E.W. Lehen, manager of the social security office in Alton, Illinois.

Beginning Jan. 1, those people needing hospital care under medicare will be responsible for an additional $8 of their hospital expenses under a mandatory increase.

The increase results from an annual review of costs required under the Medicare law. Adjustment of that por-

tion of the hospital bill for which a Medicare beneficiary s responsible is necessary since costs have risen substantially.

Medicare does not now pay for the first $44 of a medicare beneficiary’s hospital bill.

This is referred to as the hospital deductible. An increase of $8 effective in this month will boost the deductible to $52.

When the hospital deductible amount changes the law requires comparable changes in the dollar amounts that a Medicare beneficiary pays toward a hospital stay of more than 60 days, or a post-hospital extended care stay of more than 20 days. These amounts will also go up beginning with Jan. 1, 1970.

If a Medicare beneficiary is hospitalized for more than 60 days he now pays $11 per day from the 61st through the 90th day. Next year he will pay $13 per day during this same period.

When he receives post-hospital care in an extended care facility he will pay $6.50 per day toward his costs from the 21st through the 100th day of his stay. At present he is required to pay $4.50 a day under the same circumstances.

His “lifetime reserve” days, if he needs to use any, will have an increased coinsurance amount of $26 a day rather than the current $22 figure.

75 Years Ago February 8, 1945 Rep. Sid Simpson informs the News that pending legislation in Congress calls for an airport at Hardin, Ill. under the National Airport Plan.

Congress is to start hearing bills on this subject in March.

Most of the pending bills call for this legislation on a fiftyfifty basis on the part of the government and the municipality involved.

Rep. Simpson has also contacted the Mayor A.J. McDonald of Hardin and the Chamber of Commerce, which, however, is now not active, regarding local sponsorship of such legislation.

The postwar future holds many opportunities for the expansion of the aircraft industry and transportation by aircraft business. The government believes that a network of airports will be necessary

throughout the country to accommodate civil air transportation after the war.

That Hardin has been chosen for one of these sites is very fortunate. The Hardin citizens and administration should take hold of this opportunity, if it comes our way, and have everything in readiness to be able to do our part toward securing this airport.

100 Years Ago February 5, 1945 Michael J. Fonck, a well-todo farmer and apple grower of west of Hardin, who has lately returned to his home from a two month’s visit with relatives in Europe, was in to see us last Saturday while in town and he gave us a mind picture of conditions as they exist in the awful war-stricken countries of France and Belgiumthe countries where he spent his time while in Europe, and he related to us the terrible warfare that was carried on during the war, by the soldiers and officers of the Central powers, as told to him by eyewitnesses. It was terrible and is almost unbelievable.

Mr. Fonck says the pictures and stories as furnished us in daily papers, and which we have all read, never told the facts by half as they truly existed. He says that the German soldiers and officers resorted to the lowest possible deeds that could be thought of. For instance, and to relate a few incidents, they dug large pits in the ground and compelled the women, children and old men to stand with their backs toward the hole and the soldiers, under orders, took delight in shooting these innocent beings in the back and then watch them tumble over in the pit after which they would cover the bodies, some of which still showed signs of life, over with dirt and left to die. One women with an eighteen-month old baby was thrown in on top of the others alive, and after being covered over with dirt, the mother made a move, and the earth on top was seen to move, a large German officer seeing this jumped upon the mother and babe and, with his feet, stamped them to death.

Mr. Fonck told us many more incidents but they are too horrible to relate.

The Scapegoat “We all, like sheep, have gone astray, each of us has turned to our own way; and the Lord has laid on him the iniquity of us all.”

n the sixteenth chapter of Leviticus, God tells the Israelites that they must offer particular sacrifices in order to receive God’s forgiveness. One of those sacrifices is the scapegoat, which bears the sins of the community and is then sent into the wilderness: “When Aaron has finished making atonement for the Most Holy Place, the tent of meeting and the altar, he shall bring forward the live goat. He is to lay both hands on the head of the live goat and confess over it all the wickedness and rebellion of the Israelites—all their sins—and put them on the goat’s head. He shall send the goat away into the wilderness in the care of someone appointed for the task. The goat will carry on itself all their sins to a remote place; and the man shall release it in the wilderness.”

(Leviticus 16:20-22 NIV) The notion that we can put our sins on a sacrificial animal and send it off into

the wilderness is strange but intriguing. Like casting our burdens upon the winds or the waters, the scapegoat feels purifying to us.

Perhaps this is why it feels so good and so cathartic to confess our sins; we can finally let go of them. We do well to remember also that for Christians Jesus is the ultimate scapegoat, the sinless victim who takes all of our sins upon himself and is then cast out into the figurative wilderness via his crucifixion.

Consider how you might cast off your sins, both literally and figuratively, by confessing them.

That was quite the Super Bowl Sunday. Temperature hit 70 degrees and broke an earlier record for our area.

And best of all the Kansas City Chiefs pulled it off winning over the San Francisco 49ers, 31-20. Sorry to say but I did not enjoy the half-time entertainment, commercials were great though! Melinda Snider drove me to Chesterfield, Mo. where we joined the rest of the family at the home of Trevor and Cyndi Axford, Madison and Mackenzie. Also present were John, Julie and Caleb Carnes of Edwardsville and Dennis and Shelly Scherer of Wentzville. We all partook of such an array of delicious food and beverages, many thanks to the Axford’s for a great afternoon and evening. Since the ferry quits on Sunday night at 9 p.m., we were overnight and, after breakfast Monday morning, headed home to Brussels. While crossing the ferry saw the Kinder Restaurant being torn down, but according to the family they will rebuild and plan to be open later in 2020.

Last Monday the St. Mary’s School students and teachers honored all volunteers of the school during Catholic School Week. At noon they enjoyed a delicious luncheon followed by various Biblical skits by the students.

Sounds like everyone had a great time.

On Saturday evening Roy and Barb Hagen of Brussels surprised their daughter, Judy Devening of St. Peters, Mo. on her birthday. Her daughter Paige had come home from college for the weekend and had planned all this earlier. Also present were Judy’s

husband Kenny and son Mitchell. They all enjoyed a wonderful dinner at the Walnut Grill. Afterwards they went back to the Devening home for birthday cake and coffee. Many more “happy ones” Judy!

Melissa (Wieneke) Tepen was pleasantly surprised on Saturday evening by her husband Eric, sisters Denise Rose, Tracy Huelsman, and Ashley Kiel, and many friends with a 40th birthday Fiesta celebration. They met at the Wittmond Hotel first to enjoy an array of Mexican food and drinks. Then on to the big party bus with everyone for a bit more celebrating. Wishing you “many more happy ones” Melissa!

Keith Pohlman celebrated his 65th birthday on Saturday evening with his wife Carol, along with friends Don and Nancy Moennig, Mark Haug and Lucas Haug. They all enjoyed dinner at Bar Louis in St. Charles and the evening together. Many more “happy ones” Keith!

My visitors on Friday evening were great grandchildren, Noah and Addy Keppler of Wentzville, Mo. while Poppy Dennis and Nana Shelly Scherer attended the visitation of Patricia Kirn at the funeral home. Afterwards they came back and got us and we enjoyed dining at A.J.’s Restaurant, along with Ashley Kirn.

On Saturday I enjoyed having great grandson Sam Holdinghousen for a couple hours while his parents Daniel and Brittney attended the visitation and funeral of their cousin, Patricia Kirn.

Nothing like having those great grandkids around to

keep you young! Enjoyed their visits so much!

Key of Love In every happy home there is A special golden key That opens up the doors of love, Of joy, and harmony.

Without this key you only have A pile of wood and stone, It soon transforms a house to home, A chair into a throne.

The golden key lets in the sun And makes every corner sing; He who holds the key of love Can open anything.

— Carice Williams

The Opioid Crisis and Older Adults: The National Council on Aging recently completed a comprehensive survey of agencies who work with seniors to highlight the effect the opioid crisis is having on older Americans. Key findings from their research include: 1) Opioid addiction is a common reason why older adults must take on caregiving responsibilities for their grandchildren or other young relatives; 2) older adults face financial concerns related to the opioid crisis due to theft of cash, goods or pain medicines (family members are often perpetrators), and 3) challenges related to filling prescriptions and/or having access to their pain prescriptions.

Access to opioid-based pain medicines is becoming a big issue for people with Medicare prescription drug plans. While a plan may state that it covers the drug, such as tramadol or hydrocodone-acetaminophen, and may even cover more than the person is prescribed to take each month, beneficiaries are sometimes finding it difficult to get their prescriptions filled.

Some may find that they are only able to get a week’s supply at a time, or have to drive long distances to get their pain medications at a pain management clinic.

This is because Medicare plans do additional safety reviews to monitor the risk for abuse, even if you’ve been taking the medicine safely for years.

Keep in mind that these restrictions may not be apparent when you choose your Medicare prescription drug plan for the year. If you are experiencing challenges getting your medicine, reach out to your plan to see if they will work with you to address your concerns.
