County schools continue to provide meals for kids

By CONNOR ASHLOCK Calhoun News-Herald The recent pandemic has changed the way we handle illness; so much so, that folks are taking preventative measures to an extent not seen since the days of the Spanish Flu just a little over 100 years ago.

In times like these, you have to truly rely on your friends and neighbors to get through the mess and come out alright on the other side. This is something those in the Calhoun and Brussels School Districts understood.

When all the schools in the state started shutting down, people quickly realized that there were students who relied on those meals that they were receiving in school. So, folks working in the all the schools banded together to make sure that no one goes without in this season of difficulty. “The community response has been unbelievable. It takes many people to make something like this happen,� Kate Sievers, Superintendent

of Calhoun Unit 40, said. “Many Calhoun Unit 40 employees have been working in various capacities to make sure food is being sent out daily. We have cooks, custodians, bus drivers, teachers, support staff and administrators that have all donated their time to help in this effort.�

The same can be said for those in Brussels. Superintendent Mark Martin said the cafeteria workers along with other staff including school board members have been preparing meals for the week to students in the area. “It is important to us to provide so that we know they are OK,� Martin said.

In Brussels, staff is handing out meals that would cover breakfast and lunch for area youth under the age of 18. Martin said it has been a team effort — namely of those cafeteria workers. “Our cafeteria ladies have done a great job,� Martin said.

Calhoun elections not impacted by coronavirus

By JARAD JARMON Calhoun News-Herald COVID-19, colloquially known as coronavirus, has upset or shutdown nearly every part of the country, but one aspect seemingly unaffected by this pandemic was the primary elections — at least in Calhoun County.

VOLUME 147 - ISSUE 13

Election results are in, and it appears local residents still wanted to exercise their civic duties Tuesday, March 17.

Approximately 685 voters turned out for the primaries. This is 20 percent of the registered voters in the county.

Although it was not a standout year in terms of voter turnout, it was on par with previous elections, excluding 2016, which was an outlier for presidential election years with 1,810 ballots cast, a 40 percent turnout. It was also what local election officials were expecting.

Calhoun County Clerk Rita Hagen said that this year was comparable to that of a governor’s race year. “In an uncontested primary, that is about normal —uncontested locally anyway,� Hagen said.

Chatter around the election was minimal, and early voting was slow, only really picking up a few days before the election.

If there was anything that would have drawn more participation locally, it would have been local elections, she said. “The virus may have had some role in it. I don’t think that is the complete reason why we are at 20 percent,� she said.

When there are local contested races, oftentimes turnout is better. Should the disease have spread to the county, sentiments might have been different, though. “I think if we would’ve had confirmed cases in this area it would have been different,� Hagen said.

Hagen surmised that this and other recent elections have also been impacted by growing trends not to declare a party. “It is a primary. People do not like to declare,� she said. “As the years go by, people like to declare less and less. I think that’s the main thing I think we are going to see: that primary elections are not going to be well-attended unless there is local opposition.�

People do not vote down party lines as they did in the past, she said.

Notably, this year saw a greater percentage of Republican ballots than previous presidential primaries. In 2016, 38 percent cast a Republican ballot to the almost 62 percent that chose a Democratic ballot. This time around, Republicans made up 44 percent of the ballot to the Democrats’ 55 percent. A possible reason might have been that 2016 had a local contested races on the Democratic ticket — the position of supervisor of assessments.

Coronavirus did not much affect the way in which people voted this year either. Hagen said everyone was fairly consistent in regard to their voting practices. Those that typically participate in early voting did so as usual, those that went to ballot go to the ballot last week, and those that typically mail in a ballot did so again.

The election process was business as usual for local election officials outside of changes made with nursing homes and the addition of more hand sanitizers and separation. Last week, the Calhoun Nursing and Rehabilitation Center was placed on lockdown — meaning election judges would not be allowed in the facility.

As an alternative, ballots enclosed in security envelopes were delivered to residents and tallied by the election authority as if they were votes by mail.

Election booths were also separated and younger judges were given the assignments with the most interaction with the public. “I think we did the best we could,�

Hagen said. “We provided what we could provide to keep everybody safe.�She said the election went smoothly.

Now, it is time to get ready for the general election — one that should garner sizable interest from the community. “I think the general election will be busy. It will be quite busy,� she said.

T

he Calhoun Commissioners met on March 23– three in attendance at the Richter Building and the rest joining them through a video conference call per the Governor’s stay-at-home mandate.

The meeting was a short one, but several small bits of information were discussed.

Karen Hannekan, who was hired on as a part-time grant writer for the county at the last commissioners meeting, is going to start working on some economic grants and the revolving loan fund on behalf of Calhoun County.

Chief Deputy Greg Weishaupt then addressed the board requesting the purchase of five cell phones to be used by the sheriff’s department as well as two additional emergency phones that would be used on a permitted basis.

The five regular cell phones will cost $195 a month and the two-year contract exists with U.S. Cellular.

Weishaupt also shared a phone number with the commissioners that businesses can call to check to see if they are considered an essential business. He received it through the Illinois State Police and the number is 800-252-2923. Business owners can also find information concerning this at ceo.support.illinois.gov.

Following the Weishaupt’s address, the board approved pasture leases for the flood buyout properties that the county owns.

The county will lease the properties for $1 and the lessees will agree to maintain those properties.

Eugene Breden, Emergency Services and Disaster Agency (ESDA) coordinator for the county, has made a Facebook page that lists all the information that gets filtered to him, including information concerning SBA loans. The Facebook page can be found at Calhoun County Illinois ESDA. Breden also shared that the river is at 27 feet but there’s nothing to get excited about unless it reaches 31 feet.

There was one public comment from Tom Compton regarding Walmart prescriptions. He wanted the board and county to know that Walmart can mail out prescriptions. They are also offering curbside pickup. Notably, on Tuesday, the store and the pharmacy are open an hour earlier for the elderly at 6 a.m.

OPINION

Search for COVID-19 animal source is ongoing Meals

By BILL HOAGLAND COVID-19, the coronavirus now sweeping this country, appears to be linked to an animal being sold in a wildlife/seafood market in Wuhan, China in late 2019.

The search has intensified to determine the animal source of this virus for obvious reasons; by identifying the source, we can perhaps eliminate a resurgence of this virus in the future.

I am not a scientist by any stretch. But what got my attention to this issue was an opinion expressed by certain virologists in China who, in early January, 2020, said the virus may have jumped to humans from a cobra snake. So were cobra snakes being sold in the wildlife and seafood market in Wuhan, China and consumed by locals, resulting in the spread of this virus?

I just had to check this out.

Two months since that opinion, most virologists now reject that theory.

Instead, it appears as of mid-March the prevailing scientific opinion is that the original animal source for this coronavirus is the Chinese horseshoe bat. But in order to jump from a bat to humans, this virus needed an intermediate host to give that virus an epidemic quality.

And that intermediate host may have been one of many animals being sold in that wildlife/seafood market in Wuhan-- including not only snakes, but many other wild animals, such as ferrets, civet cats, badgers, pangolins (an ant eater com-

monly used by Chinese for medicinal and other purposes) and crocodiles—animals that previously consumed or otherwise ingested bat feces or even the bats themselves.

The animals in this wild animal market were kept in cages under stressful, horrible conditions and it was these conditions, some experts think, that somehow caused the virus to make that jump to humans with epidemic potential. Currently, based on genetic matches, among all the live animals being sold in the Wuhan market for human consumption last December, the pangolin—the ant eater-appears to be the most likely intermediate link.

That is because some but not all of the genetic tests showed a 99% link between the virus in the pangolin and the virus in infected humans.

Unfortunately, until the smoke clears, we will not know for certain the identity of the species involved in the transfer of this virus from animals to humans.

But here is something we do know, based on scientific studies performed after the pandemics of SARS and MERS that occurred in 2002 and 2012. SARS and MERS also involved coronaviruses that jumped from animals to humans. The bat is suspected to be the original source of those viruses as well.

The intermediate animal in the SARS situation, which also emerged originally in China, was believed to be the civet cat and the intermediate animal in the MERS situation, which

emerged originally in the Middle East, was believed to be the camel.

After these two pandemics were under control, virologists continued to study why and how these viruses jumped from animals to humans.

And here is the creepy part: in 2015, virologists at the University of North Carolina, while studying the SARS situation, found a new coronavirus that was similar to the SARS virus. This emerging virus was causing great concern because these scientists could see that this virus had the potential to become an epidemic if it spread to humans.

The results of that study, published in the November 9, 2015 edition of Nature Medicine, concluded that “a SARS-like cluster of circulating bat coronaviruses shows potential for human emergence”. And as it turns out, this coronavirus, already in existence with a potential for causing a large scale pandemic, just needed the right intermediate host to become deadly and the Wuhan wild animal market is believed to have provided that final link to create a perfect storm.

The irony of this is that in the SARS pandemic of

2003, when the Chinese civet cat was determined to be the intermediate host for the SARS coronavirus, scientists concluded that the existence of these Chinese live animal markets with their horrible conditions constituted a breeding ground that allowed these viruses to adapt and to make the jump from cats to humans and to become pandemic.

The Chinese government shut down these wildlife markets for three months after the SARS outbreak and then unfortunately, allowed them to reopen. Since the outbreak of COVID-19, the Chinese government has again closed down sales of wildlife in these markets, but the horse is already out of the barn—this time with disastrous results.

Outdoor Truths: Gary Miller

People can be like gobblers when it comes to fussing There’s nothing like the sound of a gobble at daylight.

If you’re close enough, it seems it reverberates throughout the hollows and ridges. It will truly make you wide awake like nothing else.

The method most of us use to cause a tom to gobble is by using some kind of shock call.

For you non-turkey hunters, a shock call is simply a loud noise that is made which causes a gobbler to react to the sound by gobbling. There are also other calls which are used like an owl hoot.

I’m not totally sure but I think the turkey despises the old hoot owl so much that when he hears one he just fusses back at it by gobbling.

But whether you shock one

or owl hoot or crow call, the results are the same; a turkey is located.

It seems to me the old gobbler is a cantankerous bird.

When something unexpected happens, he fusses. When some other creature wants to sing out, he fusses. When something is different or interrupts his normal routine, he fusses.

But what he doesn’t realize is by his responses and reactions he lets everyone know where he is. And in turkey hunting that’s good for the hunter and not good for him.

He reminds me of some people I know.

They are fine when everything goes their way and when everything is as it should be, and when there are

no unexpected interruptions or unplanned circumstances.

But when something happens out of the ordinary, they fuss and complain.

It may be the clerk at the grocery store who smashes his bread or the waitress at the restaurant who gets his order wrong, but again, the results are the same. What he doesn’t realize is by his actions he is letting everyone know where he is.

He is telling the world around him what you see might not be what you get.

He is telling everyone what is really inside. I think he forgets about his own imperfections and his own mental lapses. He seems to demand more from others than he does from himself.

I hope you’re not that w a y because the true test of Christian c h a r acter is not how you act during the expected but how you react when you are shocked by the unexpected.

Letter to the editor Calhoun election judges did great job TO THE EDITOR: Last Tuesday found my wife and I in the Brussels American Legion Hall to cast our votes.

Before me were a half dozen or so ladies, most of whom I’d encountered many times before while voting.

For 25 years I had taken their presence and service to our community for granted. These quiet and capable people serving this little corner of our democracy are indeed a class act. I count myself very fortunate to have their support for our way of life, despite

an increased threat to themselves from COVID-19.

A sincere thank you to our poll workers.

Feeling Social?

Concerning the high degree of cooperation between everyone in the community, Sievers had this to say: “On behalf of Calhoun CUSD 40, I’d like to thank all of the folks who have volunteered to help with the breakfasts and lunches for the students. There are many families that benefit from these efforts.”

Martin emphasized the need for this food in the district — namely from those who qualify for free or reduced lunch.

“For a certain group of our kids, it is very important,” Martin said.

Currently, at Brussels, there will be a food bag pick up from 10 a.m. to 11 a.m.

Mondays.

In Calhoun there are drop-off locations at the Calhoun Elementary School, Hardin Village Hall (the old Medical Center), Batchtown Town Hall, St. Michael Church parking lot, St. Anselm Church parking lot and Hamburg park pavilion.

All pick ups will be from 10 to 10:30 a.m.

“We will continue these efforts as long as we need,” Sievers said.

–––––––––––––––––– Jarad Jarmon contributed to this article.

(Continued from A1) make sure that this temporary practice is handled smoothly are keeping busy.

“They are handing out anywhere from 400 to 500 lunches daily,” Sievers added.

On Monday, Brussels handed out 90 bags of food.

At this point, those working to keep students fed are running like a well-oiled machine. With such an endeavor, some most assuredly would want to get involved to do their part.

But, like everywhere else, folks are being encouraged to stay home.

“We do not need anything at this point in time.

We want to limit volunteers to try to stay within Gov. Pritzker’s stay-in-place mandate. However, that is not to say we may need help in the future. If that is the case, we will send out communication via the school messenger, Facebook and the district website,” Sievers said.

Keeping this virus at bay will take everyone doing their part, but for those who are working in the school cafeterias around the county, they have a duty to ensure that they are keeping themselves healthy and ready to work in the service of the students.

25 Years Ago March 29, 1995 April 1 is the 80th anniversary of The Calhoun News, all under the same family ownership.

The News was started April 1, 1915 by the late C.C. Campbell and Arthur G. Greathouse and it has been in the Campbell family every since. That distinction makes the News one of the oldest continuously owned family newspapers in the state.

Prior to The Calhoun News, the Calhoun Leader was being printed in the late 1880’s. In 1894, Thomas D. Bare purchased the Leader and ran it under that name until 1902 when the name was changed to the Calhoun Republican.

In 1910, the paper was taken over by a stock company which was headed by Charles Temple and continued to print until the paper was purchased by Campbell and Greathouse. They changed the name to The Calhoun News.

In 1936, Greathouse retired because of ill health and Campbell bought his interest. James F. Campbell, son of the founder, is the current publisher and Bruce Campbell, grandson of the founder, is editor and general manager.

50 Years Ago March 26, 1970 The unidentied body, which County Corner Marquis Berrey has been holding at Hanks Funeral Home since March 4, was buried Saturday morning in the “potters field” at Hardin Cemetery.

“Many are the plans in a person’s heart, but it is the Lord’s purpose that prevails.”

Proverbs 19:21 NIV There is an old Yiddish proverb, “Mann Tracht, Un Gott Lacht” which translates roughly to “Man plans and God laughs,” meaning that despite our best-laid plans, life is unpredictable. So many things can conspire to upset our plans that it is almost always best to have a plan B ready, and the mindset that no matter what may happen, we will accept things with equanimity. Think of how often a traffic jam or a detour upsets our plans to be somewhere on time. How often have you been certain that your plans for something at work or a proposal to friends would be accepted only to have them tell you they have other plans? As the stoic philosophers were constantly telling us, there are very few things about which we have complete control, and about the things which we have no control we should not worry. The things over which we have control are our opinions, our

Coroner Berrey had tried unsuccessfully to get the story on one of the news wire services, thinking that it would gain nation-wide attention and possibly bring some clue toward identification.

75 Years Ago March 29, 1945 Mr. and Mr.s Charles Suhling of north of Kampsville received word Friday night that their son, Sgt. Aloys C. Suhling, who had been missing in action over German since last fall, was found safe in Czechoslovakia, liberated by the Russians who over-ran his prison camp recently. He had been officially reported as missing in action by the War Department, and had all this time been a prisoner of war in a German prison camp in the mountains of Czechoslovakia. His parents, who had given him up for dead, rejoice that their son is safe and will be returned to his post. He was a member of a bomber crew and the bomber was shot down over Germany.

100 Years Ago March 25, 1920 The steel bridge in the public road near the George Mortland farm south of Hardin, gave way one day last week and as a result there is quite a gap in the road at that place. The bridge collapsed a short time after the mail carrier had crossed over in a buggy, drawn by two horses. The distance from the top of the bridge to the bed of the branch below is about 15 feet and it is only good luck that the structure did not give way while in the action of performing its purpose.

were conducted by Hanks Funeral Home.

Coroner Berrey said that this was the first time he had ever had to bury an “unknown body.”

The body was washed ashore near the Brussels Ferry on Mar. 4 and was sighted by Bud Peuterbaugh, Chief Engineer of the Ferry.

Coroner Berrey called in the Crime Laboratory of Springfield and Dr. Paul Stormsdorfer, an Alton pathologist, who performed an autopsy. He also contacted the Missing Persons Bureau.

They felt the man was in his early 20s and was of a muscular build and had been used to physical labor or was an athlete. He had a perfect set of teeth with the exception of one filling.

The Coroner received only three inquiries about the body, but no one was able to identify it. He said it was unusual that he received no more inquiries, and that sometimes someone might try to identify the body to collect insurance on another deceased, or living, person.

Another theory offered by some sources was that it could have been the body of a “gangland killing” victim.

The lower portion of the body was missing.

Dr. Stormsdorfer was of the opinion that the death occurred last November or December, and that the body was so well preserved because it had been in ice or icy water since that time.

Another theory was that the body was partially dismembered because it had been in an ice gorge which broke up some weeks ago.

Consider that we live in a world where the processes of nature are beyond our control, where the billions of people who inhabit the earth are also beyond our control, and where even our own bodies are to a large extent subject to external forces and natural processes. We should try to control the things which we can, and about all the rest we should bow our head and say “thy will be done.”

WHAT'S GOING ON BETWEEN THE RIVERS Q Kampsville News

by Diane Brangenberg Q 618-653-4520

This will probably be a small column since I’m trying to follow the guidelines and I’m not out running around.

It’s for the safety of everyone the more we limit ourselves the sooner we can get it under control so I don’t mind complying I am still working at my job but it’s very limited. I am enjoying everyone’s time with their kids that they are sharing via Facebook it’s nice that families are getting to eat supper together And play and I am shocked at the number of the people that are suddenly doing jigsaw puzzles. As it’s nice for the world to slow down a little bit we wish it wasn’t for such a scary reason. If you are making your trips to the local grocery store please remember to check on the elderly who shouldn’t get out and those with compromised immune systems and see if they need anything.

The Landing is on limited hours here in Kampsville and doing their best to take care of everyone. Amy did deliveries on Sunday.

I’m sure the guys at the Kampsville Ferry appreciated Amy MCBride and the Landing on Saturday as she was nice enough to make them biscuits and gravy and deliver it to them just letting them know they are appreciated.

If you are using the Kampsville ferry for transportation right now. They asked that you please stay in your car and not get out as part of the quarantine.

Huge shout out to the

northside who have done so wonderful in keeping our community as stocked as the can. All of their employees have been working so hard.

They ask right now if you are sick at all please do not go in as those employees are probably some of the most at risk people right now they’ve been exposed to everyone.

We are blessed to have such an amazing business in our county.

At the Bank of Kampsville it’s strictly drive-thru if you are needed something that can’t be taken care of at the drive thru please call for an appointment.

Please hang on your to your tickets for the CEC production of “ Peter Pan” it will be postponed and held at a later date. The cast has been working so hard when all this is over it’ll be just what you need to get out and enjoy.

McCully Heritage Project is currently available for hiking for local residents as being outdoors and getting excercise is highly recommended. However no large groups please practice social distancing . The playground is currently closed. Being outside taking in nature is good for your mental and physical health. Key words, hiking only, no large groups, local residents.

Don’t forget keep sending cards to the community assisted living and Calhoun nursing and rehab!

Sympathy to the family of Betty Lorsbach who passed away this week. Betty was a huge part of St. Norbert’s School and will be missed

all the kids loved Miss Betty.

Here in a few weeks I will go back to my individual prayer requests but for now I will just say please pray for everyone to stay safe. Pray for our health care workers and grocerie store and gas station employees as they also continue working for us putting their own health at risk.

This week I’m going to share with you something that my daughter Stephani who is currently a fourth grade teacher at Astoria shared with me Quarantine thought. I’ve been stressing about my students and what to do with my lessons now that they’ve added 2 more weeks. I’m wondering what I’m gonna do to “catch up”when we return. Then it hit me maybe we don’t have to “ catch up”and that’s OK. Maybe as a society we should take this opportunity to step and reevaluate what’s important. Don’t get me wrong school is important, obviously I value academics but it’s also important to play outside, have meals together, play games together actually have a conversation. Maybe school isn’t the only important thing. Maybe we should all just let this time slow us down.

It is a scary time. I do however think being from this small community. We are used to being secluded by floods and we are used to working together I have no doubt that the Village of Kampsville and Calhoun County will come together to get through this.

Visitation suspended at Alton Memorial

In recognition of the extraordinary steps required to combat the spread of COVID19, Alton Memorial Hospital (AMH) is suspending visitation effective Monday, March 23. AMH will allow visitation to resume when the threat posed by COVID-19 lessens.

There are a few exceptions, and those visitors will continue to enter through the Duncan Wing main entrance after being screened with questions, including who they are here to visit, and a temperature check. Each visitor will receive a badge with the date and room number. Any visitor without a visitor badge should be redirected to the Duncan Wing entrance to be re-screened.

The following exceptions are pre-approved for visita-

tion, effective 6 p.m. March 23: Q Obstetric patients may have two designated visitors at the same time (such as a partner or birth-support person).

Q Patients who are critically ill or are at end-of-life may have two designated visitors at the same time.

Q Pediatric patients may have two designated visitors at the same time.

Q Patients with behavioral health, developmental delays or altered mental status for whom a family member or caregiver is integral to their care or safety may have one visitor at a time.

Q Adult and pediatric patients with an appointment in an outpatient setting, procedural area or in the Emer-

gency Department may have one designated visitor.

Expectations for permitted visitors are: Q Visitors must remain in the patient’s room for the duration of the visit; access to other areas in the hospital (i.e. cafeteria, waiting rooms) will be restricted. Once the visitor leaves the patient room, they should exit the hospital.

Q Visitors shall not be permitted to be in the room during nasopharyngeal (NP) specimen collection or aerosol-generating procedures.

Q Visitors shall perform hand hygiene at point-of-wellness screening and upon entry/ exit of the patient’s room.

Q All visitors shall notify the clinical care team if they develop signs or symptoms of illness during their visit.

Expiration dates for driver’s licenses, identification (ID) cards, vehicle registrations and other transactions and document filings will be extended for the duration of the disaster proclaimed by Governor Pritzker and 30 days after the disaster ends.

“I applaud Governor JB Pritzker for his extraordinary leadership during this difficult and unprecedented time in our state’s history,” White said. “Working together, we can help prevent the spread of the COVID-19 virus.”

St. Jude Novena May the sacred heart of Jesus be adored, glorified, loved and preserved, throughout the world now and forever.

Sacred heart of Jesus, pray for us. St. Jude, worker of miracles, pray for us. St. Jude, helper of helpless, pray for us.

Thank you, St. Jude KS

White is reminding residents that many transactions with the Secretary of State’s office may be conducted online at www.cyberdriveillinois.com. Customers are encouraged to take advantage of these online services, some of which include: Q obtaining a duplicate driver’s license or ID card; Q renewing a vehicle registration; Q obtaining a driver record abstract; Q renewing a standard driver’s license with the Safe Driver Renewal program; Q filing Business Services documents, such as incorpo-

rations and annual reports; Q customers with issues involving administrative hearings may contact 312793-3722 or 217-782-7065.

White stressed that the office will continue to monitor the COVID-19 pandemic. Expert advice, news and events involving the virus will continue to influence the reopening date of offices and the Driver Services facilities.

“We will do everything we can to help protect the health and safety of our residents,” White said. “This will, and must, be the guiding principle of our decision making.”

The coronavirus has changed our lives at this time.

We are all required to stay home — respect social distancing — and to only venture out for food, gas, medicine and authorized jobs.

I’m sure we are all respecting the guidelines. The television and internet keep us updated on the coronavirus, health requirements and new facts. We hope and pray medical help, vaccines, etc. will be discovered to help us all.

There are many closures in the county that will be rescheduled when it is safe.

Schools, churches and other groups and buildings that have a large group of people together are closed. The musical “Peter Pan” will be presented by the Entertainment Co. at a future date.

We are all listening daily to hear the updates, closures and new requirements.

The Old Fill Inn Station closed for business Tuesday evening, March 25 at 6:30

p.m. until further notice.

They will open as soon as possible.

Kenny and Bette Eilerman visited Bryan and Lisa Lumpkin at Linn, Mo. last week. Little Connor and Madison were glad to see them.

Irene and Kathy Wallendorf are quilting at Irene’s home and making a beautiful quilt for a lucky family member. They are making the best of the stay at home order.

The following people had birthdays this week, Bernie Wallendorf on March 21, Brad Wallendorf on March 23 and Hunter Klaas on March 24. We wish them all a happy birthday and a great year.

Elda Hayn celebrated her birthday with Ted and her family March 16 at home.

––––––––––––––––––– When Daffodils Are Out Dear God, I had forgotten quite How good a day could be!

For winter winds had blotted out From my poor memory The warmth and loveliness of spring, The eagerness I knew When all the gardens come alive With green things peeking through!

Dear God. When hard things come my way, Oh, let me not forget That just beyond adversity There’s warmth and sweetness yet, So, thank you for the day dear God, And never let me doubt, Though winter comes, there’ll be a day When daffodils are out!

With the COVID-19 rampant throughout the world and people being told to quarantine themselves when possible, there doesn’t seem to be much happening.

Feel so sorry for the small businesses who are being affected, so please support them when you can. Grocery stores, gas stations, banks, hardware stores, pharmacies, etc. are open and restaurants as well, but you must call ahead to place your order and then pick up at the door or window.

Who would have thought 2020 would start out like this? Thankfully many church services continue to be online during this trying time.

Congratulations to Marty and Kelsey Meyer of Golden Eagle on the birth of a daughter, born on March 9.

The infant, born at Missouri

Baptist Hospital in St. Louis, weighing 8 lbs, 9 ounces and 20 inches long, has been given the name Ally Mae. Grandparents are Larry and Susan Meyer of Golden Eagle, Melody Tonsor and Dan and Tina Tonsor, all of Jerseyville.

Many thanks to the Calhoun County Health Department who is staying on top of things. If you are online please visit their FB page. They recommend two of the most important things you can do are social distancing and good hand washing.

All upcoming events, such as Modern Woodmen Dinners, Calhoun Entertainment Co. play, Brussels Legion Friday Fish Fry’s and so on have all been cancelled. All schools in the county were already closed on March 17.

Birthday blessings this

week to John Ohlendorf, Suzanne Kamp, Paul Kuhn, Chris Kuhn, Mark Ohlendorf, Walter Dixon, Paul Droege, Eric Robeen Haley Rose, Cheyenne Pohlman, Piper Adams, Mary Kirn, Terri Rexing and all others celebrating their natal day at this time.

Instead of a “Thought for the Day” I am including a prayer for patience.

––––––––––––––––––– Dear Lord, We praise You for setting an example of patience for us during Your earthly life.

Now during this time we are facing many situations in our life’s journey.

Thank You for being patient with us as we must now listen and obey.

Be with us in the weeks ahead and give us strength and peace to know You are with us always. Amen

Calhoun Health Department lobby closes amid COVID-19 pandemic

By JARAD JARMON Calhoun News-Herald Calhoun County leaders are adapting to the new realities set upon them and state residents as COVID-19 spreads across the state.

At the Calhoun County Health Department (CCHD), changes have been made to help curb the spread of the coronavirus.

Starting Monday, March 23, the department lobby was closed to walk-ins until further notice in an effort to ensure the safety of health department staff, clients and the community at large.

ment.

There have been no confirmed cases in Calhoun as of yet, according to health department Facebook page.

“We are constantly monitoring this ever changing situation,” a post on the department’s page reads. “When we do have a positive case, the health department will be notified by the state, and we will notify the public. “…This is an uncertain time, but you have our promise that we will always be certain that the people we serve are informed and protected.”

Monday afternoon, state public health officials announced 236 new cases of coronavirus disease in Illinois, including three deaths in Cook County; two men in their 80s and a man in his 90s, according to a state news release.

Calhoun HS Calhoun unit 40 address coronavirus announce

By JARAD JARMON Calhoun News-Herald Calhoun No. 40 School District leaders have addressed the local response so far to the statewide school closure in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic.

The topic was a reoccurring piece of business at the Calhoun School Board meeting Monday.

According to a summary of the proceedings, school leaders touched on the e-learning program planned in the district in preparation for an extended closure. A couple of weeks ago, schools were closed for a couple weeks in an effort to curb the coronavirus spread.

That has since been extended to April 7.

Calhoun superintendent Kate Sievers asked the board members to review the e-learning plan at the meeting. The board will officially be asked to approve this plan at the regular April Board of Education meeting. Illinois State Board of Education has waived the mandate of having board approval before implementing the plan; however, the Calhoun district created a group of teachers and administrators to develop this fluid document.

There may be changes to it once we try to implement it if they have to implement it soon. This plan has been submitted to the Regional Office of Education once they approve the plan it will be sent to Illinois State Board of Education (ISBE) for approval.

District leaders are waiting for guidance from ISBE on what type of days the dis-

trict will have from March 31 through April 7. Sievers said they will continue to communicate this with all of their stakeholders.

In that same vein, school leaders addressed a need to amend the fiscal year 2020 calendar. The proposed amendment has the last day of students to be on Friday, May 22, 2020 and the last day for staff on Tuesday May. 26, 2020; however, this will have to be changed again because of the coronavirus situation and having to take Act of God days and possibly implement e-learning days.

Act of God Days are used for a condition beyond the control of the district that poses a hazardous threat to the health and safety of the students.

Also during the meeting: Q Board members approved WWCS Construction Company, the lowest bidder of three companies, for a Calhoun High School door project.

To comply with the 10-Year Health, Life, Safety Survey from ISBE, there will be a door project completed next summer-2020 to replace all of the interior doors at CHS. All of the doors to be replaced have exceeded their lifetime. The district will use Health, Life, Safety and County Facility Sales Tax monies to help pay for this project.

Q The board accepted the resignation of Dave Hurley, School Board Member. The board will have to appoint someone to complete the remainder of his term. The board has 60 days to complete this process.

honor roll The Calhoun High School has announced their third quarter honor roll.

Honor rollers include: Q Senior high honors: Mackenzie Cranmer, Emma Green and Hope Wilschetz.
