By JARAD JARMON Jersey County Journal Calhoun is seeing a record breaking number of COVID-19 cases. As of Nov. 9, Calhoun Health Department officials have confirmed 12 new positives in the county over the weekend and Monday, bringing the total number of active cases in the county to 36, the largest total of active cases Calhoun has had at one time. Before this most recent climb in cases, Calhoun had, at most, had 24 cases at one time, and that followed an outbreak from the community play and other pockets of quick transmission. Sandy Teichmann, administrator at the Calhoun Health Department, addressed the situation in a post made on their social media page. “If you have been following the

“Because a high percentage suggests high coronavirus infection rates, it is even more important that we do all we can to keep ourselves and our neighbors safe.â€? Health officials are urging people to stay the course and be mindful of the COVID-19 guidelines that have been in place. “Now is not the time to decide ‘you’re over it,’ and stop wearing masks and practicing social distancing,â€? Teichmann said. “By wearing a mask when you are around others, you are protecting them, not yourself. Your protection is dependent upon others caring enough about you to wear a mask‌ Please take this pandemic seriously. “Our staff cares about the people of Calhoun. You may find our requests to wear masks and our contact tracer calls annoying. Be aware, however, that we

would love to go back to doing our regular jobs at the Health Department, but right now, our job is to keep Calhoun as safe as possible during this pandemic.� Calhoun currently has 36 active cases and 105 who have recovered from the virus, as of a health department update Monday. Calhoun still has yet to have a reported COVID-19 related death. Calhoun remains one of only a handful of counties without a single COVID-19 associated death, and local health officials are hopeful it will stay that way. “Please join us in our efforts to slow the spread of COVID in our county,� Teichmann said. “Wear masks, practice social distancing, avoid large gatherings of people and wash your hands.

Calhoun election runs smoothly, has high turnout By JARAD JARMON Calhoun News-Herald

I

t appeared to be a busy, but smooth time at the polling places in Calhoun on Election Day last Tuesday. Rita Hagen, Calhoun County Clerk and Election Authority, reported that there were no malfunctions among the machines and most everyone, including voters, followed guidelines related to COVID-19, even with the high volume of votes Calhoun election officials processed come Election Day. “Actually, for everything that we went through to get to election day, election day ran very smoothly here. It really did,� Hagen said. “It was a challenge to get to that day, and it was a challenge to get through that day, but all things considered, it went really well.� This election was by no means quiet, though. While it was not a record year for the county, the turnout was big with 81 percent (2,796 ballots cast) of eligible voters in the county casting their ballots, either through inperson or mail-in voting, according to unofficial election results.

number of positive COVID cases in Calhoun, you know that our situation is not good,� she said in a post made Thursday. Calhoun health officials received an email Wednesday from the state, informing them that the county's positivity rate is 19.2 percent. The positivity rate is exactly what it sounds like, Teichmann said. The percentage of tests performed in the county that are actually positive. The formula used to calculate it is positive tests divided by total tests and multiplied by 100. “The higher the percentage of positive cases, the more concerning it is,� Teichmann said. “The target positivity rate, which keeps us free from closures, etc, is less than eight percent. With a rate like ours, of 19.2 percent, there is real cause for concern.

By JARAD JARMON Calhoun News-Herald In every election, the results are not official until 14 days after Election Day. However, it is often pretty clear cut who won and lost based on unofficial results the night of the election, but that appears not to be the case in Calhoun this year. In the only contested race in the county, two votes have, so far, made the difference. Republican Kimberly R. Klaas has a narrow lead over Independent Deann KosterFester in the fight for the Calhoun commissioners seat with 1,024 votes to KosterFester’s 1,022 votes. The race was highly contested, with three challengers vying for one seat including Klaas, Koster-Fester and Democrat Paul T. “Snow� Herkert, who garnered 710 votes. The race is not over, though, for Klaas and KosterFester. The wait will be a little longer before candidates and voters find out who nabbed the seat in the election. “We won’t know until the 17th,� Calhoun Election Authority, Rita Hagen, said. “The last day of provisional is when we will actually count them.� She said there were four provisional ballots. Provisional voting allows voting on Election Day even if a voter’s ability to vote has been questioned. These ballots are kept separate from other ballots and require verification by the election authority before being counted. As of Friday, two vote-by-

mail ballots have come back correctly. There are thirtythree applications that could still come back. In the uncontested county races, the only individuals on the respective tickets won all races including Yvonne M. Macauley for Circuit Clerk, Richard J. Ringhausen for State’s Attorney and Anna D. Kronable for Supervisor of Assessments. As far as other races on the ballot, the Republican bids for seats were especially successful. Calhoun citizens voted overwhelmingly in favor of State Rep. C.D. Davidsmeyer, R-Jacksonville, to retain his 100th seat with roughly 72 percent of the vote. Challengers Brandon Adams, the Democratic bid, and Ralph Sides, the ProGun Pro-Life Party bid, got 19 and 4 percent, respectively. In total, incumbent Davidsmeyer got roughly 75 percent of the vote, beating out his challengers, Adams and Sides. U.S. Rep. Rodney Davis, R-Taylorville, got the same percentage of Calhoun’s vote as Davidsmeyer. Davis got 2,026 votes to Betsy Dirksen Londrigan’s 659 votes. Across the district Davis won with 54.5 percent of the vote. Also, Calhoun voters, along with the rest of the state, shut down consideration of Gov. J.B. Pritzker’s Illinois “Fair Tax,� that the governor hoped would inject billions to the state’s budget. In Calhoun, 74 percent voted “no� on the tax amendment to the constitution. Across the state, 55 percent voted in favor of the amendment.

Many restaurants are becoming ‘fast-food’ joints By BILL HOAGLAND According to a recent article in the Wall Street Journal, restaurants that now have limited seating because of the pandemic are having to deal with an issue that has to be their worst nightmare: they now have to discourage diners from lingering too long so that they can get other customers in and out before closing time. For most restaurants, this has become a matter of economic life and death. In the good old days, restaurants often made their money on those diners who “lingered” over that extra bottle of expensive wine. But things have changed thanks to COVID -19 restrictions. When you think about it, it should not be too hard to get diners to pack up and go. Someone could scream “rat” and point at a darkened corner of the dining room, or you could dump a wash tub full of snakes in the middle of the room, or to really clear the place out, play “My Pillow” commercials full blast on the sound system. Unfortunately, to stay alive as a restaurant, you have to have those customers wanting to come back. You just can’t afford to run them off

forever. So, here are some of the things restaurants are doing to politely “speed up” those diners. Some have required that all diners order off the menu on the website and email their choices ahead of time. That of course eliminates the waiter waxing over some expensive special that he has never really been allowed to eat in the back room anyway. Certainly, having a waiter recite the dessert list in mouth-watering detail has been lucrative for both the restaurant and waiter, but unfortunately, going through that “dessert-list routine” takes an extra 20 minutes off the allotted time. So, that practice has also been discontinued in some restaurants. To further save time, some restaurants now serve the entire meal at once — appetizer, soup, main course and dessert; obviously, diners are discouraged from ordering ice cream. Most restaurants assign some kind of time limit — not to the point of placing a ticking time bomb next to the Waldorf salad—but a reminder of some sort just the same. At least one restaurant advises of the time

limit three times: when you make reservations, when the reservation is confirmed and again when you get to the restaurant. And here is a really bad idea that some are considering: giving diners a “go-cup” so they won’t linger over drinks after dinner. Just pour those unfinished drinks in a go-cup and shove them out the door. Great, but is the restaurant going to pay the legal costs if they get busted driving home with an open container? Despite the fact that most customers understand why there now has to be a time limit, many resent it. And that resentment boils down to the fact that we have all been cooped up so long, people just want a great meal in ambient surroundings without being herded like a bunch of cattle; this resentment is not going away any time soon.

COVID-19

So, here’s an alternative suggestion for the dilemma. Money still matters, so why not grant a “discount” for those diners who clean their plate before their time is up? And if they linger beyond their allotted time, they can stay without being hassled but they have to pay a “loitering tax”; one extra half-hour is 10 percent more, an hour is 25 percent more and so on. And if all else fails, there’s always the “My Pillow” ads. ––––––––––––––––––– 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.

Outdoor Truths: Gary Miller

With more knowledge, we grow, that is OK I’ve been looking at pictures of deer for an upcoming hunting trip. The landowner has set up a camera that sends the pictures in real time through cell service. It’s another way one can check trail cameras without going into the woods and leaving human scent that might disrupt the deer activity. Each day, I log into the app on my phone to get an update on what’s going on near my tree stand. Not only can I see the time of day the deer are moving, but I can also get other information that will help me make better decisions for the hunt. For instance, I noticed how some deer were coming from a place near where I normally park my ATV. There’s no doubt if it would have been parked there

during those times, the deer would have taken a different direction. Needless to say, this added information will cause me to make a change. Change is good. We all change. To deny this is to refuse to see the obvious. As information grows, we change as well. Some of us go all in and some of us just do what is necessary. For example, many of you have already learned how to do self-checkout at the grocery store. You did it because most of the time the lines are short, and you can’t fuss at the clerk. Some of you older folks finally succumbed to social media. You found you could find old classmates and friends through this technology. This change came as you learned new information. Because people change as

we gain new information, I rarely look very far into one’s past to determine who they are now. I know my past and many of my beliefs I held in my past have vastly changed. Information grew. I applied myself to learn some of it. And as a result, some of the views I once held I no longer do. Therefore, I want others to judge me closer to my present than from my past. I want to do them the same way. I think this is God’s way as well. He is the master at making our past a path and not a destination. He is quick to forgive. In fact, he couldn’t be any quicker. He forgave our sins before we even committed them. He looks at us in real-time and keeps giving us new

(Continued from A1) This won’t last forever...it just feels like it.” This boom in cases comes a week after new mitigations efforts were put in place. West-Central Illinois’ Region 3, which includes Calhoun County, is among many regions in the state with a resurgence of COVID-19 mitigations. As of Nov. 1, bars and restaurants will be required to change business operations. The area has seen a seven-day rolling average test positivity rate of eight percent or above for three consecutive days, which exceeds the thresholds set for establishing mitigation measures under the state’s Restore Illinois Resurgence Plan. Along with Calhoun, Region 3 also includes Hancock, Adams, Pike, Jersey, Greene, Scott, Brown, Schuyler, Cass, Morgan, Macoupin, Montgomery, Christian, Sangamon, Logan, Menard and Mason counties. Notably, this Region encompasses Springfield. The new mitigation measures in Region 3 include rules specific to bars, restaurants and large social gatherings. For bars: Q No indoor service. Q All outside bar service closes at 11 p.m. Q All bar patrons should be seated at tables outside. Q No ordering, seating, or congregating at bar (bar stools should be removed). Q Tables should be 6 feet apart. Q No standing or congregating indoors or outdoors while waiting for a table or exiting. Q No dancing or standing indoors. Q Reservations required for each party. Q No seating of multiple parties at one table. For restaurants: Q No indoor dining or bar service. Q All outdoor dining closes at 11 p.m. Q Outside dining tables should be 6 feet apart. Q No standing or congregating indoors or outdoors while waiting for a table or exiting. Q Reservations required for each party. Q No seating of multiple parties at one table. For meetings, social events, gatherings:

Q Limit to lesser of 25 guests or 25 percent of overall room capacity. Q No party buses. Q Gaming and casinos close at 11 p.m., are limited to 25 percent capacity, and follow mitigations for bars and restaurants, if applicable. These mitigations do not apply to schools. For clarity, it was stressed that this doesn’t mean the region is going back to Phase 3 of the Restore Illinois Plan. This is more targeted mitigation. Other areas, such as fitness centers, offices, etc., are still under the same Phase 4 guidelines. The region will operate under these mitigation measures until 14 days have passed, and the region reaches a 7-day rolling positive rate average of less than 6.5 percent. Since the announcement of the news, Gov. JB Pritzker has been putting pressure on local officials in these regions to enforce these orders As state leaders continue to face pushback from the restaurant industry and even some county and municipal governments regarding COVID-19 mitigation measures, Gov. JB Pritzker las week put pressure squarely on the shoulders of local elected officials. “The fact is that local officials who are not doing the right thing are the ones who are going to be responsible for the rates of infection going through the roof, and our hospitals getting overrun and people are dying if they don’t enforce the rules,” Pritzker said during one of his daily briefings in Chicago. “That is why those rules exist.” In Region 3, which includes Springfield, the test positivity rate stood at 10.6 percent on Oct. 30, the most recent date for which numbers were available. “We know that that the places that are remaining open, they’re having large gatherings and defying these rules are, in fact, spreading locations,” Pritzker said. “These are places that are amplifying the virus across the state. And so, you know, when you’ve got double-digit positivity rates in your area, as is the case in Springfield, then the local officials need to take the laws that are on the books and the regulations that we’ve put forward and the orders that we’ve asked people to follow and enforce them locally.”

Letters to the editor Make sure to show respect to veterans TO THE EDITOR: Every day we wake up free is a good day. We have all lived a lifetime of good days and we owe that to our veterans and to those who are currently serving. Those who live in freedom should always be grateful for those who fought to preserve it. On this Veterans Day, and every day, American citizens should show their respect

and gratitude to our Veterans for their service, dedication and sacrifice. They are true American heroes. America is the land of the free because of the brave. Thank you to all of our Veterans. THE EXECUTIVE BOARD OF LAND OF LINCOLN HONOR FLIGHT

Those who took part in election deserve ’thank you’

TO THE EDITOR: Now that this especially challenging election season is drawing to an end, I would like to thank everyone who helped make the 2020 election possible, especially County Clerk Rita Hagen and her staff. Whether an election judge, volunteer, candidate, or voter please know that your participation in the election process keeps our government accountable to the people, just the way our nation’s founders intended.

Culvert planned on Batchtown Road By JARAD JARMON Calhoun News-Herald Tree removal work and culvert work along Batchtown Road west of Hill Top Drive is underway. According to the Calhoun County Highway Department, this work began Nov. 9 and will continue throughout the week. The tree removal will lead only to intermittent disruptions to traffic flow, but the replacement of crossroad culverts will require complete road closure during working hours. Signs will be posted along the road giving prior notice to any complete closures. Reconstruction of the road is anticipated to carry into mid to late summer of 2021, Kyle Godar, county engineer with the highway

department, said. The project includes replacement of the crossroad and entrance culverts, repairs to an existing concrete box culvert, replacement of concrete gutters, full-depth pavement reclamation with a chip seal surface, new guardrail along with associated shoulder and excavation work. Upon completion of this project, another project east of Hill Top Drive is scheduled to begin in the fall of 2021. Officials with the highway department stated that further updates can be found on the new Calhoun County Sheriff’s Office Facebook page. Those at the Calhoun County Sheriff’s Office had to create a new Facebook page because of some technical issues with their previous page.

Locals inspired to organize turkey trot for Calhoun

By JARAD JARMON Calhoun News-Herald It was in the middle of filling out a form for a Chicago based virtual turkey trot when the idea came to Danielle Hurley: What if Calhoun had a similar event to participate in without leaving the county? “A friend of mine contacted me about doing this virtual turkey trot on Thanksgiving because I host Thanksgiving at my house,” Hurley said. “She was like, ‘Let’s do this before we pig out,’ basically.” A turkey trot is a walk/ run race, usually of the longdistance variety, that is held on or around Thanksgiving Day, serving often as a way to burn off some calories ahead of the big feast later that day. So she started to fill out the form for her family. But when she got to the portion where she got to choose what organization part of her proceeds would go to, she saw that these organizations were all up north. And at a time where organizations are struggling with dwindling avenues to fundraise because of COVID19, she stopped filling out the form and the cogs started turning. “What about if we did a turkey trot for the Calhoun County and surrounding areas,” she said. That was all Jae Brady needed to hit the ground running. “Once I came up with the idea, Jae Brady was the one that said, ‘Hey, can I run with this?’” So with abundant approval from those local organizations that would need support and businesses, it was decided that the Turkey Trot was going to happen in Calhoun. Calhoun County will have a virtual 5K/10K Turkey Trot from 7 a.m. Nov. 26 to 7 p.m. Nov. 29, offering participants a chance to make some room for the copious amounts of food typically indulged in during Thanksgiving weekend, but more importantly to ensure everyone in the community can get involved. “We hope that everybody registers, whether they want to do a walk, a 5K, a 15K — it doesn’t matter,” Hurley said. “It is just to support your local organizations, to get a

super cute shirt to wear on Thanksgiving Day to say, ‘Hey, I was a part of this.’” When they register, which is done online, participants will be getting a long-sleeved tee and another item, and $20 will be sent to the Calhoun organization of choice. Hurley said the deadline to get shirts before Thanksgiving is Nov. 15. “It is an evolving event as we try to get the whole community together as one to support all of these organizations,” Hurley said. Among the list of organizations that could see financial support from the Turkey Trot participants are the Calhoun Swimming Pool Association, the Calhoun County Fair Board, St. Mary School, St. Norbert School, the St. Vincent DePaul Society and Calhoun High School Yearbook. “At this point with COVID, every organization is missing out, and I think every organization needs some kind of fundraising in a fun way,” Hurley said. “…Once again, during the holidays, it is just a time for everybody to come together as one as a community and help each other.” More information about registration can be found on the Calhoun County Virtual 5K/10K Turkey Trot Facebook page. They can also call the Village of Hardin at 618-576-2828. The event is community-wide, though. One of the greatest things about it is that everyone can go at their own pace, Hurley said. “Probably, everybody that is going to be at my house on Thanksgiving — the kids will probably run. The parents will probably walk,” she said. Organizers are asking people to share through social media their progress with the Turkey Trot. “This is a time for everybody to come together,” Hurley said. Depending on the success of this event, plans are already being cooked up to also have a virtual Hot Chocolate Run for December or January. “So, we are hoping this is an annual thing, whether it (the turkey trot) is in-person — hopefully someday it will be in-person — or virtual,” Hurley said.

Hardin, Illinois

Brussels school leaders working out plan for athletics crowds By JARAD JARMON Calhoun News-Herald It was during the most recent Brussels School Board meeting when school leaders again addressed how they might go about handling the crowds at future winter sports events — namely basketball games. They were wanting to know what other districts were doing in terms of home games and what spectators to allow and how many, Brussels Superintendent Mark Martin said. Several weeks ago, the board was mulling over what to do for the upcoming season, considering the safety of the studentathletes, and asked the area residents in a public forum. The goal of the meeting was to get an idea of where the public was at in regard to athletics in the district moving forward, with an intention of also demonstrating that the board does not make knee-jerk decisions. There was concern among some in the district about putting students in contact with other districts, where maybe they are not as careful about cleaning, masks, social distancing and other COVID-19 measures. Those concerns did not represent a majority of the people that attended that evening, though. The majority in the crowd were there to support continuing to have sports as usual — as usual as it can be following IHSA

rules and regulations. And now, school leaders are nailing down what to do with the spectators. “I would prefer to limit it to our home crowd. Since we have restrictions on how many can be there for games, we have trouble just accommodating our own folks,” Martin said. “I am more comfortable if it is our own hometown crowd. From what I am hearing, many other districts are doing the same thing. The visiting team does not get to bring a crowd to them. But that doesn’t mean that is the way it will turn out. We are still looking at it.” Most recently, the Illinois Department of Public Health has put out a list of guidelines related to school athletics. Later, the private organization that governs high school sports in the state voted Wednesday, Oct. 28, to begin the basketball season next month — defying the new guidance for winter sports that Gov. J.B. Pritzker and the Illinois Department of Public Health outlined a day earlier. The winter sports guidelines from Pritzker and the IDPH — which divides activities into low-, medium- and high-risk categories — upgraded basketball to a high-risk sport. Basketball was originally classified as medium-risk in the fall sports guidelines issued over the summer. The guidance also offers four

different levels of activity for each sport, ranging from level 1, which permits only no-contact practices and training, to level 4, which allows for play in tournaments. Under the state’s guidance, basketball would be allowed to continue at level 1. In explaining the change, Pritzker released a document citing recent health studies that indicates vigorous physical exercise and heavy breathing, combined with frequent contacts among other players, can facilitate transmission of COVID-19. Following that announcement on Tuesday, the Illinois High School Association’s board classified basketball as a mediumrisk sport, which is subject to lesser restrictions under the activity levels. While Pritzker later announced basketball would be moved to spring, IHSA maintained that basketball season would start on Nov. 16. In a statement, the IHSA board said it made the decision to follow the recommendation of the IHSA’s Sports Medicine Advisory Committee as it relates to basketball. The board also noted it “will review spectator and group gatherings for all winter sports at a future meeting in November.” The board said the committee requires some additional restrictions, such as mask wearing during play and social distancing on benches.

Several youths are being questioned, Billie Hubbell, principal of the high school, told the News. The youths poured soda pop on the gym floor and other areas in the grade school building, and basketball uniforms were strewn around and disheveled. A couple of stop watches were stolen, and some lights in the building and windows were shot out, Hubbell said. The damage was discovered Sunday morning by Henry Cloninger, maintenance supervisor at the school. During the past week, teachers of the unit have been subjected to some ridicule by apparently disgruntled students, and eggs and other missiles have been thrown at the homes of the teachers on several occasions. 75 Years Ago November 22, 1945 Edward Peter Bauman of Kampsville served with a Pacific Navy Force whose personnel was credited with saving the lives of 75 survivors of a small tanker during the height of a raging typhoon off Iwo Jima, newly revised Navy records of the group have disclosed.

The small ship had to be abandoned 300 yards off shore. Even while the crewmen of the vessel were going overside, ambulances were arriving on the beach to care for the injured. Rescue parties went to work. Men entered the sea, some with lines about their waists to keep them from being pulled out to sea by the undertow; others didn’t wait for the lines. No one could count the individual acts of bravery but all the survivors and rescuers were accounted for. 100 Years Ago November 11, 1920 Lieutenant Harold Walton Burns died in France while with the American soldier boys during the world’s war. His remains arrived in New York a few days ago and were shipped directly to Gary, Indiana, where burial took place last Sunday, November 7, under military honors , from the Episcopal Church of which he was a member. Lieut. Burns will be remembered by many of Hardin’s citizens as he attended school here at one time and made his home with his aunt, Mrs. Dorothy Flatt, for a number of years.

ONGOING Saturday evening: There is a prayer service on Saturday nights at the football field at Calhoun High School. Many others are also being prayed for too. This event is open to everyone.

“The Board remains considerate of rising COVID-19 cases in Illinois and understand the importance of adhering to safety guidelines for the good of all citizens. However, the Board has not been presented any causal evidence that rising COVID-19 cases make basketball more dangerous to play by the IDPH or any other health organization nationally or internationally,” the statement reads. “Mounting challenges, from increased mental health issues among our students to a shrinking calendar that limits our ability to move sport seasons this school year, were instrumental in this decision to move forward with basketball as scheduled... Students can be better protected in the high school setting, and the Board remains steadfast that playing under IHSA rules and SMAC mitigation is the safest way to conduct athletics at this juncture.” Local schools are allowed to make their own decisions about whether to participate in basketball, according to the board’s statement. In response to a question about the IHSA, Pritzker suggested that schools could face legal consequences if illness or injury results from sports play that is contrary to the state’s guidance. “I finally will say that schools, I think as I’ve said several times, will potentially be

subject to some legal liability if something happens as a result of their playing a sport that we’ve issued guidance about that is not congruous with what the school is operating under,” he said. After the IHSA’s decision, Illinois State Board of Education Superintendent Dr. Carmen Ayala issued a statement criticizing the IHSA for contradicting public health guidance. She also echoed Pritzker’s concerns about exposing schools to legal liability. “Defying the state’s public health guidance opens up schools to liability and other ramifications that may negatively impact school communities,” Ayala’s statement read. An IHSA spokesperson declined to comment to Capitol News Illinois about the potential legal liability raised by Pritzker. In an interview with reporters, IHSA Executive Director Craig Anderson was asked about filing a lawsuit. “You know at some point, I think over the next month or whatever time frame, we’ll figure out if this is a legal issue for us as an association or if it is for our schools — and then we’ll have to pivot, as we’ve been pivoting a number of times throughout this school year,” Anderson said. This includes information provided by Sarah Mansur of Capitol News Illinois.

Monday marks a week we have enjoyed temperatures of 75-80 degrees every day. Weatherman now says rain moving in, and temperatures will only be in mid to upper 50s next week. Quite a change, but know the beautiful fall weather can’t last much longer. Congratulations to Jeanette Bova of Brussels who was honored on her 96th birthday. The event was held at St. Matthew Church Hall on Sunday afternoon, Nov. 1 and hosted by her family. Her children are Joe Bova Jr., Debbie Lewis, Anthony Bova and Michelle Bell. Jeanette’s granddaughter, Lea Miller, was in charge of decorating and assigning various jobs for all the family. The event was attended by family members and close friends, with everyone wearing a mask and social distancing. Many more “happy and especially healthy ones” Jeanette! Happy 99th Birthday today, Nov. 9, to Darlene Logan of Ferguson, Mo. She is the sister of Jack Kirn of Golden Eagle and Pat Bruce of Ferguson. Many more “happy and especially healthy” ones Darlene! Happy Third Birthday to Barrett Kuhn of Festus, Mo. He spent the weekend with his grandparents, Fred and Debbie Kuhn, and celebrated his birthday with them. Happy Birthday to Joyce Meyer of the Deer Plain area who celebrated her birthday on Saturday. All her family was present to spend the afternoon and evening with her and help her celebrate. Many more “happy and healthy ones” Joyce! Congratulations to Irvin and Soon Graham of Hamburg, who recently celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary. I’m sure many who crossed the Brussels Ferry regularly a few years ago enjoyed seeing and convers-

ing with Irvin, who worked for the Illinois Department of Transportation. Many more happy anniversaries Irvin and Soon! Weekend visitors of Bob and Bonnie Held and Marie Held were Rae and Jean Payne of the Bloomington area, Phil Held of Hannibal and Eric Held of Tennessee. Phil stayed over Saturday night and returned home on Sunday afternoon. Eric is presently on a short break from the campaign trail but still on call at this time. Katrinna Brangenberg of the Hardin Senior Center will be at the South Calhoun Retirement Center on Monday, Nov. 16, from 9 a.m. to noon. She will do a curbside pickup of medication lists for anyone wanting a review of their Medicare Part D Coverage. Please make sure you have the name of the medication, dosage, how often you take it and whether it is a tablet or capsule. She will then bring back results for the 2021 plans for those same people on Friday, Nov. 20, from 9 a.m. to noon. Very disturbing headlines in last week’s Calhoun NewsHerald that COVID-19 cases have reached triple digits in Calhoun County. As of Nov. 5, there were 36 active cases, 93 recovered and thankfully zero deaths. Please continue to wash your hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, (if not available use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer with at least 60 percent alcohol), avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth with unwashed hands, practice social distancing, which is critical at this time, and please wear a mask! The Veteran’s Dinner, provided each year by the Brussels Girl Scouts also had to be canceled. Instead, the veterans who have made reservations by the due date will do a drive-thru to receive patriotic gifts made by the

girls along with a box of prepackaged food items for the veterans, in appreciation of their service. For those who have made reservations for this event, please stop by St. Matthew Church Hall by the west side doors, on Saturday, Nov. 14, between the hours of 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. A few veterans have asked for delivery of these items and that will take place between 9 and 11 a.m. Please remember earlier reservations were required for this event. Many thanks to all the girls and their leaders Debbie Kamp, Nancy Robeen, Diane Tepen and Lea Miller for all their hard work. Birthday blessings this week to Darlene Logan, Karen Ohlendorf, Joyce Meyer, Joan Ott, Wyatt Mandernach, Bill Flanigan, Daniel Engle, Mark Toppmeyer, Josh Kinder, Dale Haleneyer, Billy Kamp, Sharon Ennis, Joyce Siemer, Sophia Baalman and all others celebrating their natal day at this time. Happy Anniversary to Jack and Elaine Snyders and all other couples celebrating their wedding anniversary this week. ––––––––––––––––––– Veterans Day Prayer Dear Lord, Today, November 11, we pause to thank all that have served and those currently serving in our military. It is because of these brave men and women, that gives us the right as citizens of this great country, to have the freedom to honor our own at this time. Please remember that we do not just honor our Veterans on this day, but we need to thank them every day. So many individuals have given the ultimate sacrifice of laying down their lives for our country and for us. We respect them, thank them, honor them, and are proud of them and we pray that You will continue to watch over them. In Jesus name, Amen.

The beautiful huge Christmas tree in the middle of town is the work of Marcia Agney and her husband Billy. Their neighbor, Steve, also assisted in getting it put up. It’s absolutely gorgeous. Marcia would like to invite and encourage anyone that wants to put an ornament (non-breakable) on the tree to please do so. We would like to see the whole town be a part of it! We would also like to encourage you to decorate your homes and share it to the Facebook page, “Lite it Up Kampsville.” We feel like everyone could use more joy during this holiday season. Thank you Marcia Agney for getting this wonderful project started. She has some other wonderful ideas we will be sharing with you in the near future. Because of the rise in COVID-19 cases in our county, Kampsville American Legion has decided to postpone the carry-out Veterans Day dinner to a later date. I will let everyone know as soon as it is rescheduled.

The weather has been wonderful many of us are getting outdoors. The Old Fill Inn Station is now closed and will open at a designated later date. Verann Klockenkemper visited Bill and Elaine Titus over the weekend and Ted and Elda Hayn on Monday. Urban Klockenkemper broke his collarbone in a fall on Sunday and is recuperating at home. The Brussels School District is currently in class, and the Calhoun schools are using virtual learning until the coronavirus is contained in the area. Mike and Linda Funk celebrated their 50th Wedding Anniversary on Oct. 14 with a family dinner and a trip to Florida. Wish them many more years of happiness together.

Election

(Continued from A1) “Calhoun always votes high,” Hagen said. “Our turnout is always high.” Typically, the turnout sits around 74 percent. In 2016, 73 percent of registered voters (2,622 ballots cast) turned out to vote. This year’s turnout falls short of that in 1996, when Calhoun had an 83 percent voter turnout. Notably this was the year former U.S. President Bill Clinton fought to retain his seat against Republican challenger, Bob Dole, who was the former senate majority leader. As is the case in many elections, the presidential race is the one that spurs voters to head to the polls — or to the mailbox as was the case this year especially. This time around, there was one contested race for a Calhoun Commissioner seat, but Hagen said it was still the presidency that likely got people excited to vote. “That presidential election brought everybody out,” she said. Notably, 73 percent voted for President Donald Trump in comparison to 24 percent for former VicePresident Joe Biden. As far as the local election process, Hagen was proud of how it went, and more importantly in the election judges. “I was very, very happy with our election judges,” Hagen said. Oftentimes, it is a struggle to get those willing to serve as an election judge,

“Children, obey your parents in everything, for this pleases the Lord. Fathers, do not embitter your children, or they will become discouraged.” Colossians 3:20-21 NIV

“I

n every young person, a point of goodness is accessible, and it is the primary duty of the educator to discover that sensitive cord of the heart so as to draw out the best in the young person.” -St. John Bosco Saint John Bosco (1815-1888), was an Italian Roman Catholic priest who dedicated his life to educating the street children of Turin. When he was nine years old, he had a life-changing dream wherein he was struggling with a group of boys who were playing roughly and blaspheming while a tall noblelooking man said to him “You will have to win these friends of yours not with blows, but with gentleness and kindness. So begin right now to show them that sin is ugly and virtue beautiful.” From this point on, he took it upon himself to be a sort of referee of the street children, paying careful attention to them and instructing them how to behave. As an educational reformer, St. John Bosco developed

a chicken dinner in celebration of Bernie’s birthday on Nov. 12. Everyone enjoyed the warm weather and got outdoors to rake leaves and enjoy the day. Linda Russell’s family, Jeremy and Angie Russell, and daughters Zoe and Sadie and Steve and Cindy Mazorous and Hayden had a nice visit outdoors on the farm together. Lindy and Martha Bick’s daughter, Amy, and children Ian and Alice, came home from Cedar Rapids, Iowa, Sunday to take family photos. All enjoyed the day. Tony and Jana Sievers and Brenda Sievers are getting their Christmas lights put up. They took advantage of the warm weather and got outdoors for the job. Jason helped Brenda, Shelly and Kenzie, and Kaden helped Jana and Tony. They are hoping to complete the work before colder weather arrives. Bernard Mager celebrated his birthday Nov. 7 with the family. Have a good year.

Happy Birthday Mackenzie Cranmer who celebrated Nov. 3 with her family. Cheryl Dodwell and LouAnn McGuire visited with Wilma Krysl Sunday afternoon.

but this year, Calhoun had the staffing necessary to process the ballots in each precinct. This year was an especially interesting one with COVID-19 continuing to be an ever-present shadow on the goings on in the country, let alone the county. COVID-19 inspired states to bolster their early voting and mail-in voting processes, and that was no less the case in Illinois. And based on the popularity of this system, it was for good reason. In Calhoun, about half chose to either vote by mail or grace-period and early vote. According to unofficial election results, 1,439 voted on election day, and 1,357 voted ahead of Election Day either through mail-in or in-person early voting. “I think people did like vote-by-mail,” Hagen said. And based on voter turnout, mail-in might remain a big part of the election, whether COVID-19 is an issue or not. “They will want to keep it,” Hagen said. “Is it easy to manage? Absolutely not… We learned a lot… There was a big learning curve to what you could do with three people.” Hagen noted that the State of Illinois handled it well in comparison to other states, though. “I think the State of Illinois is doing things

the proper way,” she said. “Because of the laws that we have in place and the manner in which we have already been handling early voting and vote-bymail, I think we had a large advantage over other states that didn’t already have that in place and haven’t been doing it for 10 years already.” As far as handling the ballots coming in, Hagen commended the local post office efforts, especially amid the stirred concerns with the post office in the national media. “They did everything they could to make sure that everybody’s ballot got out on time and got back as timely as they could make it,” Hagen said. “To this point, I have not seen any ballots that look like they were delayed from the time they were mailed to the time they got to me.” If individuals did head out to their polling places, it was done with COVID19 in mind. “I think most people were coming in with their own masks,” Hagen said. “We had masks at the door, health department people at the door encouraging the wearing of masks.” Despite the confusion and the influx of mail-in and early voting ballots, Hagen and other colleagues she spoke to came away with one thought: “We survived it.”

teaching methods based on reason, religion and loving kindness rather than punishment, methods which came to be known as the Silesian Preventive System. For those of us who have some role to play in the education and upbringing of children we do well to remember that kindness and reason are more effective teachers than harsh punishment. For instance, when children lie, it is far better to explain to them the deleterious effects of lying (i.e., that they will damage their reputation and people will not trust them), than to punish them harshly. –Christopher Simon

Local man hopes to win dream chopper

By CONNOR ASHLOCK Calhoun News-Herald It’s starting to turn into a nail-biting experience for Greg Woelfel, a Kampsville man, who is vying for the chance to have a customized chopper built by Paul Teutul, Sr. of the television show Orange County Choppers. A link to Woelfel’s profile is available in the Facebook group Quarantined Calhoun, but you might also look for his profile on the dream chopper website. He is permitted one free vote per day, but there is an option to vote multiple times for a payment that will benefit an animal shelter of Teutul’s choice. The contest began with a wide array of contestants, but after several rounds of voting, many have already been whittled out. Not Woelfel though, who continues to go strong, currently taking the lead in the present round which will determine whether or not he advances into the top ten round. If he wins, Woelfel hopes to have a custom trike built that will give him the ability to take a mother-of-all-rides road trip across the United States. “I’d love to go crosscountry through the Rocky Mountains down through the Grand Canyon, then on to the west coast to stop and visit with a buddy from school in California,� Woelfel said on his dream chopper profile page. “I’d ride the coast and come back through Idaho, Montana and through Yellowstone and the Grand Tetons back through Sturgis and back to the mighty Mississippi River and home in the small county that lies between the Illinois River and Mississippi River where they join called Calhoun County, or God’s country to me.� The winner of the contest will also be featured on an episode of Orange County Choppers, which, though cool in itself, isn’t

what Woelfel is after. Simply put, a biker isn’t living unless the wind is in his or her face, and that is what Woelfel is after. “I had a Heritage Softail Nostalgia— always liked the look of them— and ridden the roads here in Illinois around the bluffs, especially in the fall,� Woelfel shared on his profile. “But this all came to an end due to a rare spinal cord issue. I grew a mass of blood vessels inside my spinal cord. Seven years of acupuncture, and I’m riding my ATV again.� Now, Woelfel is ready to feel the wind in his face

again and experience the beauty of creation the way it was intended for guys like him— on a bike. He knows he wants his ride stretched and chopped replete with lots of chrome and design characteristics that reflect his hunting background. He also wants something that he can really feel the power in. “A big V twin that you can feel the power in when you rev it up,� Woelfel said on his profile. At the time of publishing, Woelfel was staged to move on to the next round of judging.
