Health department now looking at general populace

‘Egg My House’ event prepares for second year

By JARAD JARMON Calhoun News-Herald The Calhoun Health Department has been quickly going down the list of priority individuals in the county to get the COVID vaccine, allowing them to now start looking at the general populace. “It has been super organized. I could not be happier with my team,” Sandy Teichmann, administrator at the Calhoun County Health Department, said. “We get so many compliments from people who have experienced or talked to people who have been to other places, and they are really pleased with how we are doing.” “I don’t think people realize what (their compliments of our efforts) means to us,” she later said. The larger weekly shipments coupled with their population and efficiencies in how the vaccines are administered have helped health department officials reach more people quickly. Just last Thursday, a day designated as a clinic day for the staff to get the shots to many eligible residents, it was booming, Teichmann said. Recently, the health staff have been vaccinating first-dosers at the old Lutheran church in Hardin and second-dosers at the health department – an idea Kristi Allgood, registered nurse, raised. And according to Teichmann, it has worked out great. “The second-dosers already kind of know what they are going through, and they get a different warning because the second dose is a little harder on people,” Teichmann said. “So, they get a little different talk than the people getting their first dose. It works out great. I think that is what we will continue to do.” As of March 8, 637 are fully vaccinated, representing 13.27 percent of the county’s population, and now, health officials in the county are looking at the general populace. “We are really getting through our populations that the state has said, ‘go ahead and

By CONNOR ASHLOCK Calhoun News-Herald Sophie Lorton is at it again with her second annual Egg My House fundraiser. Last year, Lorton and her mom, Kerry, came up with the idea to raise money for the Calhoun football stadium, while providing a fun outlet for families who were cooped up because of COVID. When all was said and done, they “egged” about 15 to 20 houses and raised over $600 for new bleachers at the football stadium. Lorton knew that she was going to provide the activity again this year, especially after seeing all the pictures of happy kids that were sent to her. This year, however, the college student and part-time community organizer has changed up her focus. “This year, we’ve decided to raise money for the Glenn Peyton Memorial Scholarship,” Lorton said. Lorton and her siblings were just a handful of individuals who were impacted by the sudden passing of longtime teacher, coach, referee and friend, Glenn Peyton. “He made school more enjoyable. He always had something to say— making jokes, goofing around,” Lorton said. “Everyone knew his class as the Jeopardy class. We always played Jeopardy in there.” Not only is Lorton raising

Anyone who wants to get the shot should go ahead and contact us, and we will put them on a list.” Those interested in receiving the vaccine are urged to call the health department office at 618-576-2428, Option 2, and Option 2. They will also be offering an online link to register for an appointment in the near future. The clinics will likely shift to the weekends as the general populace are reached, as many would not be able to swing calling off from work on the Thursdays that the clinics are normally held in the county. “If we get any bigger shipments, we might start trying to do [a] drive-thru,” Teichmann said. In total, they have administered 1,765 vaccine doses. Of those who have already been vaccinated, it is already paying off in terms of the presence of COVID in the county. Based on what was last reported on March 3, there were three active cases, according to the Calhoun Health Department. In total, there have been 494 cases that have been reported, five that died as a result and 491 that have recovered. “We are really making a serious dent in this, and we are seeing differences in our numbers,” Teichmann said. “I think this is working. We are going to have a life again.” (See, POPULACE, A2)

money for another good cause, but she’s also vamping up her fundraiser by adding another feature to it this year. “Last year, we had a family that went out at night and hunted for the eggs in their yard with flashlights, so this year we decided to add glow-inthe-dark eggs as well,” Lorton said. Lorton shared that the orders they received last year kept them busy, prompting the family to divide into two groups of three as they worked all throughout the county. They even had to cross the river to “egg” houses in Eldred, Grafton and Jerseyville. Lorton anticipates this year to be just as busy, if not busier, given the fact that word has spread about her fundraiser, encouraging community togetherness and providing a means for folks to give back to something bigger than themselves. With Easter a little earlier this year, Lorton and her family have already gotten to work filling orders. All orders have to be given to them by March 31 at the latest. This year, eggs will be hidden in yards either at night on April 3 or early in the morning on April 4, Easter Sunday. This year, they are offering both regular eggs and glow-inthe-dark eggs. For more information, as well as to place an order, interested persons are encouraged to contact Sophie Lorton at 217-370-3824.

By LUCAS GARDNER Calhoun News-Herald When tax season started in January, Calhoun Sheriff Bill Heffington received several calls about unemployment tax documents. And soon after, Rep. C.D Davidsmeyer held an over-the-phone joint town hall meeting with local leaders who were questioning the authenticity of these documents: why locals received 1099-G unemployment tax form without using unemployment aid and what was being done at the state level to fix it. The scam was effortlessly done because the online unemployment sources only require general knowledge of an individual such as a name and address. As for the 1099-G tax form, that is what individuals are required to fill out if they received unemployment. Many locals in Calhoun, Illinois and all around the nation received these documents, even though people did not receive unemployment aid for the year of 2020. During the early days of the COVID-19 shutdown, the IDES (Illinois Department of Employment Security) would handle approximately 2,000 cases of unemployment fraud a day. As the shutdown continued into 2020 and 2021, the IDES was no longer in office and these cases of unemployment quadrupled.

“During the early days of the coronavirus shutdown, I’d say the IDES was used to handling a couple thousand cases a week, and I think that more than quadrupled every single week during the coronavirus,” Rep. Davidsmeyer said. As the weeks continued to pass, it was taking over two weeks for IDES to call back those affected by the scams. “I’d say 70 percent of people, from my experience, that I talked to never got a call back at all. The IDES did make an effort by putting in some call centers, which certainly helped, but the delays still persisted,” Davidsmeyer said. As most know, there are always people in the world trying to make quick and easy money, which is why this is still an issue today. “The fraud issue – as everybody knows – there are people out there looking for a way to get a free buck. It’s obviously unfortunate, but if they can track down your basic information they don’t have to know your employer, and they try to collect money off of you,” Davidsmeyer said. “So, this is obviously a very quick expansion of the unemployment system, and when you have that, you have growing pains and those growing pains lead to holes. I wouldn’t say the IDES system had a problem, I would say that this is an issue throughout the nation.” (See, FRAUD, A2)

NEWS/SOCIAL/OPINION

‘We’ll have herd immunity by April’ By BILL HOAGLAND The above declaration was a headline in the Feb. 10 edition of the Wall Street Journal. It certainly got my attention because it is so contrary to what we have been hearing from the so-called “experts.” But Marty Makary, the author of this article, is a Harvard-educated medical doctor who is a professor at the Johns Hopkins Medical School and a recognized authority on a variety of medical issues. He is also an outspoken advocate of the need for honesty and transparency in the medical world. Specifically as to the issue of transparency, Dr. Makary believes that certain members of the medical community have not been candid about the current status of COVID-19 infections; he says that the situation is not as grim as certain public officials make it out to be. Among other things, he strongly believes we need to be reopening schools, businesses and other gathering spots sooner rather than later because in his opinion, we will have herd immunity by April. His article explains the scientific basis for his opinion. Before presenting this article for publication, he was urged by medical colleagues (many of whom privately agreed with him) not to publish the article because it might discourage people from going ahead with the COVID-19 vaccinations. But he did it anyway, and I, for one, am glad he did because we need to see both sides of the issue. “Herd immunity,” by the way, refers to the situation in which enough humans

have acquired sufficient immunities to a particular pathogen that it runs out of people to infect and eventually dies on the vine, so to speak. These immunities are developed either by vaccination and by exposure to the pathogen itself. Makary says that COVID-19 infections have dropped 77 percent in the past six weeks despite dire predictions that infections were going to increase dramatically in January and February because of Christmas gatherings, being indoors more in the winter months and increased public travel over the holidays. In his opinion, this unexpected and spectacular drop in the infection rate is because way more people were previously infected with COVID-19 than authorities realize; most of these people were completely asymptomatic so there was no reason to test them in the first place. In addition, actual testing for the infection turned out to be only 10 percent to 25 percent accurate in properly identifying those who were infected. That’s because the current antibody testing does not properly take into account antigen-specific T-cells in our bodies that are also capable of producing neutralizing antibodies. In short, Makary believes that twothirds of the people in this country have already been infected, many of whom do not realize they have been infected. In predicting that we will have herd immunity by April, he is, of course, assuming that the massive vaccination program in progress now will continue

and that for the most part, people previously planning to get the vaccination will still do so. But more importantly, he goes on to say that scientists should not lie to the public. In addition to encouraging everyone to get the vaccine, “we also need to reopen schools and society to limit the damage of closures and prolonger isolation.” He concludes by saying we need to develop a contingency plan now for an open economy by April because by then we will have a much better control of the virus. Obviously, if the virus mutates to the point that our developed antibodies are not effective, we have to go back to the drawing board, but isn’t it nice for a change to hear some encouraging and surprising projections from a medical expert about this nasty disease? Dr. Makary has certainly stuck his neck out with this prediction, but wouldn’t it be wonderful if he is right? ––––––––––––––––––– Q %LOO +RDJODQG KDV SUDFWLFHG ODZ LQ Alton for more than 50 years, but he has spent more than 70 years hunting, fishing and generally being in the great outdoors.

Fraud

(Continued from A1) According to Davidsmeyer, the IDES was trying everything they could to ensure that if people needed help they would get it. “To be fair to them, their efforts were focused on trying to get the benefits out as quickly as possible, but in that effort, there were individuals from the state that weren’t justified in receiving those dollars,” Davidsmeyer said. Heffington said he believed it was easy for this to happen because everything was done online. “I believe it was able to be done so easy because everything was online and not in person,” Heffington said. Davidsmeyer agreed to part of that. “I would say, part of it was that, and they could have alleviated a lot of this fraud if the IDES departments were open where people could go in and sit down face to face with individuals. You would have less ‘direct impact’ through the online system and that is still something we are fighting for. There are still people working through the system,” Davidsmeyer said A year ago in March, people began the process of trying to get unemployment benefits. While that has carried over to 2021, the bulk of calls to IDES have regarded fraud, according to Davidsmeyer. “Back a year ago, March of last year, it was people trying to get benefits and towards the tail end of last year, and the beginning of this year,

we still have a lot of those problems,” Davidsmeyer said. “But it really transferred over to dealing with fraud. Fraud is the higher percentage of calls. There are going to be many people that have issues. We obviously have to make sure if people receive a card they don’t activate it. It’s a simple thing, if you receive something you don’t normally receive, ask questions.” As for the progress on getting this fixed, Davidsmeyer said it’s been hard to get any information at all. “During the pandemic, it’s been hard to get very much information at all from the departments. Not just the IDES but the Department of Public Health and those that are legitimately swamped with work but other departments as well,” Davidsmeyer said. “The communication hasn’t been (handled) very well. We even had a State Rep. that had to stand outside of the IDES office to get a call back. They have designated legislative leaders that we are supposed to deal with directly and the response through them has been lacking at best. “And to be fair, I like these individuals, for the most part they are good to work with, but getting a response back has been a major issue. So, to be totally honest, I don’t know where we are at to fix the issue, mainly because communication has been an issue.” To get help, individuals can call 1-800-244-5631 for the IDES or (217) 243-6221 for the district office.

Brussels girls fall short of victory against Peasant Hill March 3, Brussels girls lost to Pleasant Hill by 16 points. In the first quarter, Brussels were two points away from tying Pleasant Hill. The second quarter rolled around, and the girls lost their groove, only managing to get two points against Pleasant Hill’s 9-point lead. In the third quarter, Brussels started the climb back up scoring 11 points, but Pleasant Hill still had the lead, scoring two points more than Brussels. Pleasant Hill wrapped the game up 42-26 by scoring another 12 points. “Brussels girls did a much better job of rebounding the ball tonight, with Kress having nine rebounds, Friedel having five, and others constantly going after loose balls. We need to focus on making layups that we work for position on and we will start seeing different results at the end of the game,” Brussels Head Coach Megan Murphy said. The point-scorers were: Alussa Kress with nine points, Emma Clark with six points, Mary Vogel with four points, Dalanie Klass, Gracie Klass and Tessa Clark, all with two points and Belle Friedel with one point. With the loss, Brussels is looking at a 1-6 record. The majority of points scored were two-point field goals, and Brussels made 25 percent of their free throws.

Brussels girls take a loss against Carrollton March 4, Brussels Raiders ate a 34-point loss against Carrollton. Carrollton hit the ground running, scoring 18 points in the first quarter, then kept the sprint up the whole game. Brussels rolled into the second quarter down by 14 points, and Carrollton stacked the points on, with another 17 points. After half-time, Carrollton decided that a 22-point lead wasn’t enough and added another 18 points to their score. Carrollton wrapped the game up in the fourth quarter, 58-24. Point-gainers were: Mary Vogel with 11 points and five steals, Alyssa Kress with six points and ten rebounds, Delani Kress with three points, Gracie Klass with and Belle Fridel, both with two points. With the loss, Brussels stands at one and seven. Brussels hit 33 percent of their free throws.

Brussels Girls varsity sees loss to Unity Brussels girls suffered another defeat, this time at the hands of Unity. They lost 90-21. It was an uphill battle for girls from the start. In the first quarter, Brussels put up four points to Unity’s 28. Throughout the game, the disparity in points did not change. In the second quarter, Brussels scored eight points to Unity’s 23; in the third quarter, Brussels’ seven points to Unity’s 20 and in the fourth quarter, Brussels’ two points to Unity’s 19. “Unity is a strong team full of height, speed and agility,” Brussels Head Coach Megan Murphy said. “They are well-trained and made it difficult for us today. We know this is a year for growth for us, and we still focused on attainable goals in which we continue to make progress as individuals and as a team.” Their record is now 1-8. Point-gainers for Brussels were: Belle Friedel with six points; Alyssa Kress, six points; Gracie Klaas, four points; Mary Vogel, two points; Emma Vogel, two points and Tessa Clark, one point. different cities.

“God is not human, that he should lie, not a human being, that he should change his mind. Does he speak and then not act? Does he promise and not fulfill?” Numbers 23:19 NIV

here is an old joke about the wiseacre who asks the Sunday School teacher if God can make a rock so big that He Himself cannot lift it. Either way of answering results in something God cannot do. The short answer to this paradox is that the description of the rock is logically contradictory (an object which an omnipotent being cannot lift). There are, however, a few things which God cannot do, but it is not because his power is limited, but rather because his goodness is unlimited. That is, God cannot lie or otherwise act immorally, because He cannot contradict his own nature. It would be a weakness or defect in God if He were to lie or act viciously. Likewise, the fact that God cannot

make 2+2=5 is not a weakness on God’s part, but rather a consequence of the fact that even God must obey the laws of logic. What would the world be like if 2+2 could equal anything other than 4? It would be a manifestly absurd world, a world where anything and everything might be good or bad, and true or false. These few things which God cannot do, such as lie, or make the logically impossible possible, are really part and parcel of the fact that we live in a world where things make sense, and good and evil are not simply a matter of whim and whimsy. –Christopher Simon

WHAT'S GOING ON BETWEEN THE RIVERS Brussels High School

Q Point News

by Carol Sue Carnes Q 618-883-2333

We are beginning the week with another beautiful day, and a high of 70 degrees predicted. Of course, long-term forecasts call for rain beginning later in the week and continuing through the weekend where temperatures are expected to go back to mid to upper 50s. Today, March 8, is International Women’s Day! “Words cannot describe her, she is a mother, a daughter, a sister, a friend, loyal in every relation, shares different bonds in every relation, works every single day, with no pay and no holidays, yet she is considered weak and fragile. But the truth is she is unbreakable and indestructible.” Might add, truer words have never spoken. The Brussels Girl Scouts, Troop #405, are celebrating Girl Scout Week, March 7-13. The troop is 17 girls strong with five levels of scouting. Leaders are Diane Tepen, Nancy Robeen and Debbie Kamp and Lea Miller, assisting with certain needs of the troop on a part-time basis. The group is very community minded, projects include a food drive each March, two senior citizen projects where one was for the Calhoun Care Center. In the spring, they participate in the trash pickup campaign, in the fall the Veteran’s event, at Christmas visits to the homebound with baskets of treats and caroling. They would like to thank St. Matthew Church for providing them the hall at no charge, to use twice a month for their meetings and working on various projects. The congregation has helped many young girls grow into ladies of courage, confidence and character. On Saturday evening, eight gals enjoyed an evening together at the home of Renee Rose in Golden Eagle. Attending the Ladies Night Out were Jill Rose, Melissa Kiel, Julie Kulp, Erin Carnes, Melissa Tepen, Jill and Alexa Pikesley and Colleen Baalman. Sounds

like they had a great time together visiting and enjoying food and liquid refreshments. On Saturday afternoon, a baby shower took place in honor of Ashley (Kuhn) Affholder, hosted by Sue Rose, Lindsey Tapp and Chelsie Bonner. The event was held at the beautifully decorated metal shed of Steve and Sue Rose, which has a complete kitchen and dining facility inside. Many friends and family members were in attendance, and the little boy-to-be received many wonderful and useful gifts. My weekend guests were John and Caleb Carnes of Edwardsville. With spring near, they were able to do lots of outdoor jobs, trimming trees and bushes, raking and cleaning up flower bed, changing oil in lawn mower, etc. Saturday night, Caleb was an overnight guest of grandparents Francis and Liz Toppmeyer. On Sunday, Julie Carnes drove up and spent the afternoon with her parents. After church and lunch on Sunday, John continued working here until dark. Can’t thank them enough for all they accomplished. Paul and Pat Hoemmen and Will enjoyed the weekend company of their daughter and family, Kristy and Keith Kasinger, Mackenzie and Mason from Kearney, Mo. Keith is now stationed at Kansas City, Mo., and their families are so glad to have that so much closer than California. On Sunday, they all enjoyed the visit of Blake Hoemmen, while her mom, Jordan, was working and dad, Michael, was helping the butcher. Jordan is a nurse and has just a month to go before she will become a nurse practitioner. Michael and Jordan reside in Meppen in a new home they built. Weekend visitors of Kevin and Tammy Kiel of Brussels were their son Reese Kiel and two of his friends from John Woods Community College in

Quincy – Adam from England and Malek from the Dominican Republic. The guys all play on the soccer team at John Wood and will be going on a group trip to Texas in the near future. On Thursday, March 11, the Jersey Community Hospital Health Fair will be held at the Susnig Center in Jerseyville from 7 to 11 a.m. This event is free to the public. Reminder: Before going to bed Saturday night, March 13, be sure and set your clocks ahead an hour. Daylight Savings Time goes into effect at 2 a.m. on Sunday. Brussels American Legion will be hosting a Lenten Fish Fry on Friday evenings, both March 19 and 26. It will be a drive-thru from 4 to 7 p.m. consisting of a catfish sandwich, fries and slaw. Birthday blessings this week to Dylan Kamp, Colton Snyders, Hudson Roth, Matt Kuhn, Becky Weigel, Charlie Kuhn, Roland Nolle, Travis Kamp, Joan Titus, Pennie Pohlman, Bonnie Stepanek, Joe Carnes, Tammy Kronable, Tyler Snyders, Tanner Kiel, Grace Nolte and all others celebrating their natal day at this time. Happy Anniversary to my daughter and son-in-law, Dennis and Shelly Scherer, and all other couples celebrating a wedding anniversary this week. With spring less than two weeks away, I will close with a “prayer for spring.” God, Thank you for spring and the hope of warmer, longer and brighter days. We ask You for a fresh beginning in each of our hearts, homes and lives. Please let each of us, as Christians, be motivated to read Your word, pray more and continue to worship. Help us to appreciate all that You give us and allow us to labor in Your name. We ask these things in Your name. Amen.

The 2020-21 National Honor Society Induction is something that COVID-19 has changed along with the many other school related items. Because of restrictions, the organization was unable to have their annual induction ceremony, but wanted to honor our new NHS inductees for the 20-21 school year. Their current members are: President Kendra LaMarsh, Vice President Emma Clark, Ellie Nolte, Alyssa Kress and Kaden Nolte welcomed nine new members to the high school NHS. New inductees included: Caleb Katzenberger, Cheyenne Pohlman, Tessa Clark, Isabella Friedel, Josie Friedel, Emma Hagen, Macy Jacobs, Hope Odelehr and Lexie Schulte. “I am proud to say that in 2020-21 we currently have 14 members,” Jen Wilschetz, NHS sponsor, said. “Out of approximately 60 students in a school, to have 14 qualify for NHS is quite an accomplishment.” The selection of new National Honor Society members is done according to the constitution of the National Honor Society and the bylaws of the high school NHS Chapter. At this time, only juniors and seniors of Brussels High School are eligible for membership. Candidates are selected for their good qualities; these include a 3.0 or higher grade point average and a record of character, service and leadership. All teachers get the opportunity to approve the initial list of students to be approached. The students are rated by the faculty in each of the following areas: leadership, service and character. Any student receiving a rating of two (below average) in two or more areas by two or more teachers is cut from the selection process. The second step is to give those students who are still eligible an application for membership. The faculty advisory council will then vote on the students that

applied for membership. A majority vote is needed to be inducted into the NHS. The faculty advisory council is to consider behavior, both in and outside the classroom; service roles within the school district and in the community; leadership roles in school and community organizations; character among classmates and elders and all aspects of academics in their vote. Usually, membership is decided by the first week of October. This year, because of COVID, the selection process was delayed in an attempt to have an induction ceremony Once voted into the National Honor Society, students are expected to maintain their high standards. Students are expected to maintain at least a 3.0 GPA, an excellent record of character, and continue in their leadership roles. If a student fails to complete these requirements, they will be subject to discipline according to the bylaws of the BHS NHS chapter. Normally, NHS participates in approximately nine events throughout the school year, including a Fall Festival, helping with the Veteran’s Day dinner, Santa’s Workshop, sponsoring two annual blood drives with the American Red Cross, along with other smaller projects throughout the year. Some of these projects require hours

All members are expected to participate in all of these events. “While we do realize that many of these students are involved in many other activities – that is why they were considered for NHS, we do expect NHS to be a priority,” Wilschetz said. “We work very hard to adjust our schedules to meet the needs of these students and our community. “I am so proud of our current members and cannot wait to work with our new members.
