hat do you do when you’re quarantined?

Hunt bears, that’s what you do.

At least, that’s what you do in Calhoun County, where residents have been on the prowl searching out those honey-snatchers in yards, porches and even windows. “The bear hunt is a fun and safe way for families to get out of the house and still stay safe while practicing social distancing recommendations,� Lauren Eilerman, organizer of the bear hunt, said. “You drive around hunting for the bears at houses to see how many you can find.�

The idea has taken off all across the county, with bears being seen from Brussels to Kampsville and everywhere

in between. “It’s a drive-and-find activity. There is a thread on Facebook you can follow that has specific areas to look. Just drive safe and remain in your vehicles,�

Eilerman said.

Eilerman was inspired to bring this activity to Calhoun after seeing other communities organize similar activities. “I have noticed quite a few surrounding communities doing similar things such as ‘heart hunters and rainbow hunters.’ Diane Brangenberg and Debby Klunk shared a post to Facebook saying it would be so fun. So, starting a group is what we did,� Eilerman said.

After Eilerman had been inspired, she went to work making a Facebook group to promote the activity. “The Facebook group is managed by myself, but the group is taking off with posts from everyone. The group is public, and it’s everyone getting involved that’s making it what it is.�

Fundraising efforts underway for new football bleachers

By CONNOR ASHLOCK Calhoun News-Herald Sophie Lorton is a young lady setting an example for residents of all ages in Calhoun County.

Sophie, along with her mom, Kerry Lorton, are organizing an “Egg My House� fundraiser, where interested persons can pay to have someone else’s yard bombarded with candy-filled eggs in time for Easter.

It’s like a prank, but one that’s fun for everybody.

At 18-years-old, Lorton is currently a sophomore at SIUE studying predental. She’s also an avid athlete.

Recently, she joined in efforts to purchase new bleachers for the football field at the Calhoun High School. “I went to the county high school and played sports there. While in school, I traveled to other sports fields at different schools and saw what they had and it made me want that for my home too,�

Lorton said.

With Easter rapidly approaching, to Sophie, the time seemed right to put a plan into action.“The Egg My House fundraiser is designed to get the younger crowd involved in raising money for the bleachers, but it’s received interest across all ages, which is awesome,�

Lorton said. “There are two other fundraisers going on right now for the same purpose. There’s a Go Fund Me to raise money for renovations and they’re selling bricks, so we thought adding this fundraiser would bring this community dream closer to fruition,� Lorton added.

She referred to the Cash for Bricks

fundraiser that recently got a deadline extension. More information can be directed to Laura Longnecker at 217851-0184 or lauralongneckerod@hotmail.com.

In order to egg someone’s house, participants will pay $12 for every 15 eggs. Organizers urge those interested to pre-order their eggs before April 8 to ensure they have plenty of time to get them ready to go.

They’ll be hiding eggs in the late evening of Saturday, April 11 and request that pets are put up during that time. “You can call us to place an order, and we’ll hide eggs that we’ve filled in people’s yards that you’ve instructed us to hide them in,� Sophie said.

Sophie and her mother are inviting high schoolers seeking community service hours to help hide the eggs, as well as anyone in the community interested in volunteering. “For now, it’s just me and my mom but when it comes time to hide the eggs, if you’re in National Honor Society or a community member that wants to be involved, you’re more than welcome to help,� Sophie said.

Sophie shares that she and her mom are working to get the information out to the county through flyers and social media posts, and that they’ve received some interest in their endeavor already. “On Facebook, people have been getting ahold of either me or my mom.

I’ve also had people contact me through my phone and through messenger.

People have the option of sending me the payment through Venmo, through a check in the mail or just by meeting me in Hardin somewhere.�

Maybe you’ve got some grandkids that you want to surprise on Easter morning, or you want to put a smile on your favorite teacher’s face. Maybe you want to send some sweets to your sweetheart or make sure some kids in the neighborhood have a happy Easter.

Or maybe you just want to get in on some good, clean fun.

Whatever the reason, Sophie Lorton

and the Easter Bunny are calling for participation.

Those interested can mail checks and instructions to P.O. Box 474, Hardin, IL, 62047 or venmo @sophielorton. “The coronavirus has been putting a halt to a lot of things lately, and for good reason. But it is not stopping the Easter Bunny from coming to Calhoun this year,� Sophie said.

Teachers adjust to difficult circumstances

By CONNOR ASHLOCK Calhoun News-Herald After teaching for 15 years, Tara Adams can definitely say that she knows a thing or two about education, but just like everyone else, she is making temporary adjustments to her normal schedule and finding creative ways to educate her students, as well as her own children. “In our district we sent home work packets and we communicate daily activities to our class through email

What can we glean from China's experience with COVID-19 Bears r e n n u R e Ridg

By BILL HOAGLAND Like everyone else, I have been concerned about COVID 19 and while I have virtually no medical training or background, I have been curious as to what we nonmedical types can conclude from what we know about the China experience with COVID 19.

Among other issues, how long did the virus last for those in Wuhan who required hospitalization and what were the pre-existing medical conditions that were most likely to result in death. Finally, based on the China experience, is it realistic for us to plan on getting things back to normal in another several weeks, as some in this country have suggested?

I recently looked at test results taken from hospitalized patients in Wuhan, China during the period of January 1 to 31, as reported on a British website, www. thelancet.com. (This is the website for The Lancet, an established British medical journal that is a credible source for various medical topics, including infectious diseases.)

The information I am referring to was published on that website on March 11; the title of this study is “Clinical course and risk factors for mortality of adult in-patients with COVID 19 in Wuhan, China, a ret-

(Continued from A1) children’s teachers with learning suggestions for the day. We are trying to tie our lessons into daily life activities as well. We wrote thank you cards to the school cooks and volunteers for a writing activity, we’ve been planting flower and vegetable seeds and checking their progress daily, we watch a daily mass together and sometimes we just play, which is one of the most effective ways for our little ones to learn!”

Adams hopes that parents and guardians use this time for the benefit of growing closer as a family.

“Aside from academics, I hope parents can take this time to play a game with their child, have a family dinner together and just spend time with one another. I know as a parent myself in this busy world, we tend to push off these small moments with our kids. Maybe the silver lining in all of this is the ability to slow down and reconnect as a family – a time to reset,” Adams said.

“I will say, being a week into this, it is hard to be away

rospective short study”. It is informative for a lot of reasons, and seems to be uncluttered with political overtones.

The Lancet article is a summary of clinical notes taken by the treating physicians at Jinyintan Hospital and the Wuhan Pulmonary Hospital, the two medical facilities where those patients suffering from exposure to the COVID 19 virus were ultimately taken for treatment in January, 2020.

During January, there were 191 patients being treated for COVID 19 at these two hospitals. Of those 191 patients, 54 died. Most of the deceased had preexisting conditions, most notably those with hypertension, diabetes, and coronary heart issues.

Those who survived required from 8 to 37 days to become free of the virus—referred to as “virus shedding”-- with the median time being 20 days. At least half of the patients developed sepsis during their hospitalization, which complicated and may have delayed recoveries.

The infections in China obviously did not end on January 31. For the next 45 days, the virus continued to spread beyond Wuhan.

And then on March 23, the Chinese government announced that as of March

C H R O N IC L E S

16, there were only a few new infections occurring anywhere in China.

As to those patients who had the virus after January 31, antiviral treatments had been started with some success in reducing the length of time these infections lasted.

It remains to be seen whether the Chinese government will share the raw medical data regarding those treatments before we begin our own antiviral treatments, but if so, that would help speed things up.

Even if it is true, as indicated in the medical records from Wuhan, that the virus is usually over for patients within 30 days, and even if there were no new infections as of March 16, as claimed by the Chinese government, we are talking about an overall period of five months, beginning in mid-November until midApril, when the current infections in China will presumably be over.

And that is why I question the belief that we only need a few more weeks to put

an end to this virus so that things can return to normal.

Even if we have done a better job than the Chinese government at isolating people early on, and even if these antiviral treatments appear to be working to reduce the length of the illness, the Chinese experience tells me we are going to be dealing with this virus until May or later; I just hope we don’t prolong the problem by opening things up too soon.

Note, this column was written March 26. Perhaps by the time it is published, we will have a clearer picture of how long this virus will last.

from my class. I consider them part of my family. I think I speak for most teachers when I say we are ready to be back to teaching.”

While it seems like virtually everyone is in agreement on being ready to get back to normal, it’s nice to know the county’s local superheroes still have the backs of students, even if it’s from a distance.

“We miss our kids and we worry about them everyday.

We are lucky to have technology to keep in contact with them daily, but it certainly isn’t the same. We have built strong, loving relationships with our students and co-workers, so it feels as though we are away from our family,” Adams said.

The students likely feel the same.

State health officials announce 461 new cases of COVID-19 No positive cases found in Calhoun The Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH) today reported 461 new cases of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) in Illinois. Eight new deaths are also being reported, including the death of an incarcerated man from Stateville Correctional Center.

Additionally, 12 men who were incarcerated at Stateville are now hospitalized, including several requiring ventilators.

There are 77 more incarcerated individuals with symptoms who are isolated at the facility. Eleven staff are also being isolated.

The Illinois Department of Corrections is taking a number of steps to control the spread of COVID-19 in its correctional centers. Staff who work with individuals in isolation and quarantine, as well as in the health

center, are wearing full personal protective equipment (PPE) and all staff are wearing some PPE. Staff are also having their temperature checked daily as they enter the facility.

Correctional centers with a confirmed case are placed on lockdown, which means there is no movement around the facility except for medical care. Incarcerated individuals who show symptoms are being tested.

Clark, Crawford, Marion, Randolph, and Saline counties are now reporting cases. Currently, IDPH is reporting a total of 5,057 cases, including 73 deaths, in 52 counties in Illinois. The age of cases ranges from younger than one to 99 years. According to the Calhoun County Health Department Facebook page, there were no positive cases in the county as of March 27.

CARD

Locals to get fresh start with Expungement Day It may be several months from when a petition for expungement and sealing is filed until a decision is made by a judge.

Daniel R. Kuehnert, a senior staff attorney with Land of Lincoln, said that criminal records often prevent people from landing a job or getting a higher paying job.

“The mistake you make at 18 years old shouldn’t prevent you from getting a job when you’re 40,” Kuehnert said. “A criminal record can be a major barrier in seeking employment, housing and education.”

Registration for the event is required and is open to the first 100 people.

Visit http://bit.do/2020freshstart, email jersey.calhoun.freshstart@ gmail.com, or call (618) 462-0029, ext. 3011 to sign up. Throughout the upcoming weeks, Land of Lincoln staff will regularly check the website, email and voicemail, and follow up with interested individuals to see if they qualify for the event and register them.

Kuehnert said it is more beneficial to society to allow citizens the opportunity to work and live productive lives than to be held back by youthful missteps resulting in an arrest or conviction. According to Kuehnert, although Illinois law prevents a potential employer from ask-

Families who find the most eggs and the family with the most creative display will be prize winners.”

So if you’ve been cooped up in the house more so than you’d like these past weeks, be sure to make your way about the county for some bear hunting, and be sure to participate in the egg hunt this weekend as well.

We’re sure to remember this moment in history for years to come, we might as well make it for something fun.

Let everyone have access to your business!

Ceci, Franci and Abner Hillen complete a nature scavenger hunt. They are finding things to do to keep them busy, while being out of school and in isolation.

The Job Center and Land of Lincoln Legal Aid are joining forces later this year to host a free event, the Jersey and Calhoun counties Fresh Start Expungement Day. The Expungement Day will take place Friday, June 12, from 10 am until 3 pm, at the Job Center, 301 W. Exchange Street in Jerseyville.

At the event, Land of Lincoln attorneys, volunteer attorneys and paralegals will meet with applicants to help them prepare petitions to expunge and/or seal their Jersey and Calhoun County criminal records. After petitions are prepared, participants must take them to the Jersey or Calhoun County Circuit Court Clerk’s Office for filing.

Participants must register to attend.

The registration deadline is May 29.

Tony Fuhrmann, Director of the Job Center, said finding employment with a criminal background can be difficult.

“Expungements makes them (applicants) more employable,” Fuhrmann said.

An expungement is a legal court order that destroys a criminal record and removes it from public view.

Records that cannot be expunged because they resulted in convictions may be eligible to be sealed. Sealing limits who has access to the records.

(Continued from A1) really connects this county and keeps us going. We are pretty isolated here anyways with limited things to do unless we leave, so we rely on one another to make the fun, and everyone does a pretty good job of that.

It’s interesting and fun to see. I think the Bear Hunt is helping with the kids most definitely,” Eilerman said.

“It’s amazing to see the county come together for our children.”

The growing popularity of the countywide activity has even inspired another activity which will be occurring this weekend.

“On April 4 and 5, we’ll be putting on the Calhoun County Egg Hunt. It’s the same concept as the bear hunt, but we will be hunting for eggs,” Eilerman said.

“This is with a prize incentive as well. Two ‘Fun

ing someone if they’ve been arrested on a job application, as someone moves further into the process of being hired, a background check may still show the arrest.

“By clearing their criminal histories as much as possible, people are granted freedom to seek better opportunities to improve their lives,” he said.

Fuhrmann said while people are waiting to see an attorney, they will be provided with information from The Job Center and its partners about job opportunities or training. The Job Center is a part of the Southwestern Illinois WorkNet Center, which utilizes partnerships and technology to access workforce development resources aimed at individuals, employers and workforce/education partners.

“Once a person’s record is expunged they have more options,” Fuhrmann said.

This event is part of Land of Lincoln’s Fresh Start Project, which assists people who have been involved with the criminal justice system. In addition to expungement and sealing, the Fresh Start Project also assists recently incarcerated individuals with other types of civil legal issues. The Fresh Start Project is supported by funding from the Westside Justice Center-Access to Justice initiative.

25 Years Ago April 5, 1995 Calhoun County residents had April Fool’s Day weather that was no joke.

If anyone glanced out their window at the right time on Saturday, April 1 they would have seen a shower of snow flurries falling from the sky. With supposedly no precipitation at all in the forecast for the day, I was certainly surprised when I looked outside at just the right time. It didn’t last long, but it sure was there.

It is April and it is Spring, but I guess that doesn’t mean anything when it comes to the Illinois weather. I certainly hope that the peach crop survived the overnight cold dips we had recently. the peach blossoms were just starting to blossom and were really looking pretty. Some big and juicy Calhoun peaches sure sound good.

The 1995 year is already in its fourth month. Hope everyone has a good April!

50 Years Ago April 2, 1970 A course in oil painting designed for the interested beginner in oil painting or an advanced art student, adult, teenager, or child, will be held in the Calhoun High School library, beginning Monday, April 6, 1970, at 7 p.m. This class will meet every Monday

from 7-10 p.m. for 12 weeks. The instructor will be Anton James and the tuition is $14.40.

Members of the local Wilderness Art Club who have attended these art instruction courses sponsored by SIU, Carbondale, Division of Adult Education, have gone on to advanced classes, as well as exhibiting in Alton, St. Louis, Jacksonville and the local Apple Festival. They have received first, second and honorable mention in their work with cash prizes, ribbons and other awards.

75 Years Ago April 5, 1945 Second Lt. August R. Nolte, a B-26 Marauder pilot and a member of the 344th medium bombardment group based in France, took an active part in paralyzing enemy communications lines in front of the first Allied crossing of the Rhine by flying his bomber over German twice in one day..

Lt. Nolte’s group, a veteran unit of the U.S. Ninth Air Force, took off in the morning and flew to Hachenburg, Germany, where his group carpeted the enemy sector with over 100 tons of bombs. The “Silver Streaks”, as the group is known, returned safely from this mission, refuled, reloaded, and took off again, this time for

Wessel, Germany.

The Golden Eagle pilot, who wears the Air Medial and two Oak Leaf Clusters, chalked up his sixteenth and seventeenth missions in one day, in the space of less than eight hours.

Stepping up the tempo of their daily attacks, the 344th has been an aerial spearhead for the ground forces, blasting communications and supply lines, ahead of the Allied armies penetrating into the heart of the Reich.

100 Years Ago April 1, 1920 More advertising space is being used now in newspapers than has ever been known heretofore. The business firms are beginning to realize more and more the real worth of printer’s ink. The News this week contains an extra amount of advertising matter which, together with the scarcity of print paper, compels us to boil down the news matter. We are unable to increase the size of the News on account of the news print scarcity, therefore, in as much as we dislike to trim the news matter down, nevertheless our hands are tied and we are compelled to do so in spite of our choice otherwise. We trust that our readers will bear with us in this, our embarrassing position.

Jersey Community Hospital is monitoring the coronavirus (COVID-19) situation.

The health and safety of our patients and our communities is our primary concern and we are following guidance from our state and local health authorities as well as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Here are a few of the steps we have taken: Screening our Patients and Visitors to Decrease Exposure at all Locations •

We are asking all patients and visitors questions about their current symptoms and potential exposure to COVID-19 prior to entering any of our facilities.

•

The symptoms we are inquiring about include fever, cough, difficulty breathing and/or shortness of breath along with any other pertinent information. If anyone presents with these symptoms, they are asked to wear a mask.

•

At some clinic locations, we are asking patients to return to their car with the clinic phone number and screening will be done over the phone or a JCH representative will go to the car.

Screening Employees Prior to Work •

We are screening all of our employees to make sure they are healthy and do not have any symptoms, including a fever.

Entrances to Locations •

We are following a process to identify patients who are suspect to have the infection and coordinating testing with the local and state departments. As of today, testing results could take 5-7 days to result.

•

•

We are managing our PPE and supplies to ensure caregivers have the equipment they need to safely provide care.

JCH is asking the public to please limit visits to patients in the hospital at this time. Anyone experiencing signs of illness, such a fever or respiratory symptoms, is asked to please refrain from visitation.

Limited hospital visiting hours with no children under 18.

Clinic visitors are restricted to essential care givers.

Some JCH Providers have started seeing patients via telehealth. Patients with smart phones, laptops, or tablets with cameras are able to see their providers and complete many types of visits including sick, wellness, & problem visits.

For more details, visit our website at www.jch.org.

Elective Procedures •

The patient’s physician, in consultation with the hospital, is in the best position to make the decision if a procedure is necessary and needed.

•

All screening mammograms, PFTs, lung cancer screening CTs, and dexa scans are being re-scheduled in May.

Clinic Hours •

Our primary care clinics have rescheduled our patients to help provide a safer environment with Wellness or problem visits in the morning. The afternoon is reserved for sicker patients.

Drive-Up Respiratory Clinic •

This began on Monday, March 30th at JCH Clinical Services location at 220 E. County Rd. in Jerseyville.

•

Patients can schedule an appointment by calling 498-2273 or the COVID-19 HOTLINE at 639-4277.

WHAT'S GOING ON BETWEEN THE RIVERS Q Point News

by Carol Sue Carnes Q 618-883-2333

Amid the doom and gloom, where do I begin?

I was talking to my dear friend (Marie Held) who will be 100 years old in July and she commented that in all those years she had not seen anything like this. Seems it hasn’t been that long ago we all were talking about the fires out West, tornado’s, earthquakes, violence in the streets, etc. and never once gave it a thought how much worse it could get.

My prayers and concern are for all those having to work during this time. Especially the Doctors, Nurses, EMT’s, Police, Fireman, etc. who are on the front line. My granddaughter is a charge nurse at the hospital in St. Charles and her unit at this time has been turned into the COVID-19 Unit.

Also concerned for those who work in grocery and other retail stores and pray they are taking all necessary precautions.

People have been told to stay at home, now if you are retired that is easy to do, but, for those who have to report for work each day it is a concern. And with all the

technology now days thank goodness many office workers are able to work from home.

I especially enjoy being able to attend church service each Sunday, and mid-week on Wednesday evening, online from my living room.

Along with the coronavirus I read where our area once again will be hit with an active Spring 2020 flood.

The major and moderate flood conditions is along parts of the Mississippi River basin. So now our local leaders in the Midwest are having to respond to this as well.

Time to think positive saw this on Facebook and it is so true.

When this is all over I will never take for granted, coffee with a friend, going to social events, church service, full shelves at the grocery store, restaurants to dine in or a simple handshake or hug to say hello. I know that when this is over, the world will be different. I hope and pray that it is a kinder, more thankful world and we all will be closer to God. With today being my

“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

judgements, and to some extent, our desires. 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.”

Brussels classes could have local history as soon as next year

By JARAD JARMON Calhoun News-Herald School leaders have been working to see how local history might be incorporated in the Brussels curriculum, and according to them, local lessons might be here sooner than we all thought.

The proposition that school board member Patrick Simon raised earlier this year was addressed at the board meeting this month, along with discussion regarding the high school roof project and COVID-19.

Brussels Superintendent Mark Martin said school officials are still deciding where local history might fit in the existing curriculum, but noted that they are looking at having something for the next year. “I think everyone is kind of excited about it,â€? Martin said. â€œâ€ŚIt is more interesting if you kind of know some of the players.â€?

Martin has said the unit will use information collected and written about the local area.

Several local authors that have chronicled the region’s local history have been mentioned as potential sources for the pending unit.

Martin noted these are the kinds of additions that small schools are lucky enough and flexible enough to be able to

implement.

The high school’s roof was also addressed in the board meeting. Roof work has been deemed the next big project for the Brussels School District, and at their latest meeting, members approved the district to put out for bids on the project. Specifically, Brussels is seeking bids for the installation of a 26-gauge metal roof on Brussels High School.

Concerns regarding the state of the high school roof were initially raised at the school board meeting Tuesday, Feb. 18.

Martin has said the matter was on the district’s radar prior to that meeting, but that other projects like the HVAC project, which has been paid off, were prioritized.

As previously reported, the roof has been patched over the course of several years, but the roof is meeting the end of its lifespan, according to school leaders. It is understood in the district that, after a particularly high wind, pieces of the shingled roof can often be found in the parking lot.

Martin said the goal is to have the work done over the summer. “It is really something that should get done,� he said.

Like in other districts across the state, the school

leaders laid out the plan for distance learning education of Brussels students following the school closures. The shutdown of Illinois elementary and high schools will be extended through at least April 7 in an effort to curb the spread of COVID-19. There has not been a confirmed case of coronavirus in the county, according to the Calhoun County Health Department.

Martin said students are currently implementing e-learning with anticipation and preparation to do distance learning. Martin indicated that those in elementary school are sent home with pen and paper documents while students in high school are accessing work online. Currently, work being sent out does not cover any information that was not learned before the schools closed.

Also in the meeting, special recognitions were made: Q Derek Kamp has been named the BHS Student of the Month. High School Principal Pam Long reports that Derek Kamp has excellent work ethic. Kamp comes to school every day, participates in extracurricular activities, and then works every night. Some nights, he does not get home until after midnight, but still comes to school

with his work finished. Kamp has also received the Raider Recognition award because he helped the Shakespeare in the Streets performers load their van after their performance in the gym.

Q Joshua Fuhler will be the coach of the Pepsi team at the 2020 Senior All-Star Classic and four students were chosen to be on the team: Mitchell Willman, Lucas Hoemmen, Andrew Robeen and Joseph Vogel.

Q Brussels High School Scholastic Bowl team won the Pike County Conference.

Though they had to go into overtime against Pleasant Hill, they came home with the title. Four players made allconference: Kendra LaMarsh, Morgan Klaas, Jerica LaMarsh and Lexie Schulte.

Q On Feb. 27, students were treated to a performance by the talented people at Shakespeare in the Streets.

Q Chad Brodbeck took Will Schleeper, Lucas Hoemmen, Derek Kamp, Andrew Robeen, Olivia Pille, Avery Caselton and Mitchell Willman to participate in the Lewis & Clark Drafting Competition on March 6. Pille, Caselton and Willman placed in their category and have the opportunity to compete at the state level.

REAL ID deadline extended to October 2021

Illinois Secretary of State Jesse White announced today that the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has extended the federal REAL ID deadline an additional year to Oct. 1, 2021. DHS cited the COVID-19 pandemic and the impact the virus is having on the general public and driverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s license and ID card-issuing agencies nationwide. Earlier this month, White, along with other state and business leaders from around the country, called on DHS to extend the REAL ID deadline.

Current Illinois driverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s licenses or ID cards will continue to be accepted at airports, military bases and secure federal facilities until Oct. 1, 2021. Once Driver Services facilities reopen, White is suggesting that people who want a REAL ID wait until their current driverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s license or ID card is about to expire before visiting a facility to apply for a REAL ID. For those whose driverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s license or ID card expires after Oct. 1, 2021, and want a REAL ID, they can use their valid U.S. passport or other TSA-acceptable documents to fly domestically

NEWS/PUZZLES/REAL ESTATE

until they must renew their current card. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The decision to extend the REAL ID deadline to Oct. 1, 2021 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a year past the old deadline â&#x20AC;&#x201C; is the proper and necessary action during this time of uncertainty and crisis,â&#x20AC;?

White said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I urge Illinoisans with valid driverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s licenses and ID cards not to rush to our facilities to obtain a REAL ID once they reopen.â&#x20AC;?

As a reminder, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, White closed all offices, including Driver Services facilities statewide to the public, through April 7, due to the health and safety recommendations by experts endorsing social distancing efforts to minimize transmission of the virus. Many other states have followed with similar actions.

White is reminding residents that many transactions with the Secretary of Stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office may be conducted online at www. cyberdriveillinois.com.

Some Secretary of State employees continue working to process these transactions as efficiently as possible.
