PCRE works to bring life to long-dormant building By JARAD JARMON Calhoun News-Herald Cyndi Borrowman Kamp needed the Rastello building for her growing business, but the efforts she, her team and those contracted to restore the historic building made went far beyond simply getting a new, bigger space. In a way, by utilizing this “new” space, they are playing a part in preserving a more historic Hardin. Borrowman Kamp owns PCRE Real Estate and Auction, Inc., currently located near Subway in Hardin, but the oneroom space off the main highway was just not going to cut it anymore. “It was fine when it was just me, but we have expanded the business,” Borrowman Kamp said. “We’ve got about five new agents down here that are focusing on Calhoun, Jersey and Greene county and some Madison County. We need more room, so I bought the building and took on the venture to fix it up. I like old stuff.” She also likes a challenge, though, which the Rastello building was certainly going to be. “I like old things,” she said. “I like antiques, and I got a vision for taking something and turning it into something else.”

And it would certainly need that. The building, although beautiful with history etched into every beam and brick, had been weathered, a problem compounded by a lack of activity in recent years. “There had been a lot of water damage,” she said. Borrowman Kamp said it has been about three years since the Rastello building’s doors were open. Over the course of several long years, the wear and tear really did a number on the building, and had something not been done, it might have been beyond salvageable.

“It was going to fall down if somebody did not do something with it,” Borrowman Kamp said. “It was in pretty bad shape.” Borrowman Kamp saw, like locals have seen so many times, the history of the building being slowly eroded by the famously fickle elements. “If somebody didn’t save it, it was going to be demolished, and right now, so many houses are being torn down from the flood,” she said. “We are losing a lot of history in the town, and this is one of them, at least, that will be able to be saved.” (See, PCRE, A2)

Sibley recognized for service; celebrates 100 years Local group prepares to establish co-county Jaycee chapter

By DAVID CAMPHOUSE Calhoun News-Herald

he Pike County All Wars Museum honored WWII veteran and Calhoun native Howard Sibley at the museum’s April 9 “Morning at the Mess Hall” event. Sibley is one of only a few remaining WWII veterans living in Pike County, and he celebrated his 100th birthday on Feb. 22. Sibley, a native of northern Calhoun County, was the second of four Sibley brothers to serve in WWII. “They were poor country boys, who had never been off the farm,” Sibley’s daughter, Peggy Conkright, said. “When he left he never thought he’d see his parents again, because they were older.” Sibley joined the Navy on Oct. 6, 1942, and he reported to Seattle, before boarding a ship to Kodiak, Alaska exactly one year after the attack on Pearl Harbor. Kodiak was an important supply station for American forces throughout the Pacific, and Sibley spent eight months at the supply station loading and unloading ships. Following his time loading and unloading ships, Sibley spent two years working in a Navy tailor shop, using the pressing machine. The job, according to a memoir of his time in the service, was much warmer and drier that his previous assignment. During a three week leave, Sibley returned to Kampsville and married his fiancé Wilma. The two were married by a Lutheran min-

ister, and the wedding was witnessed by Wilma’s sisters Clova Oberjohann and Mildred Retzer. Following the marriage, Sibley returned to Alaska and the Pacific. After the war ended, Sibley returned to San Francisco, and took a train to St. Louis where he received his official discharge papers. He returned home to Kampsville Dec. 22, 1945. Following the war, Howard and Wilma Sibley moved into Howard’s parents’ house, and his parents relocated to Alton. “He bought the family farm where he was raised,” Conkright said, “He farmed 240 acres his whole life and made a living on it – with cattle, pigs and hay.” (See, SIBLEY, A2)

By &21125 $6+/2&. Calhoun News-Herald The Jaycees, a nonprofit organization which was once active in the area several years ago, has recently been making a comeback. Dellaray Hileman, a resident of Golden Eagle who has also lived in Jersey County, spearheaded the push to bring the organization back into the area. “We organize events in the community and give back to any causes that we decide,” Hileman explained. “It’s not restricted like some organizations where you can only give back to certain things. We can give back to anyone we want.” The Jersey-Calhoun Jaycees chapter comprises the entirety of Calhoun and Jersey counties and will hold its monthly meeting at the Quarry Township building in Grafton, close to the Grafton Legion, on the first Monday of every month at 7 p.m. The group has yet to receive their official charter from the state’s Junior Chamber International organization, but they’re chipping away at the requirements they must meet in order to do so at a quick pace, demonstrating a lot of promise for the group. “We’re getting everything put together, and it should come together fairly quickly,” Hileman said. Already, the group has attracted 17 members, seven more than the required minimum of 10, and are currently working on nominating and establishing a board, all while conducting regular meetings.

Local fish biologist shines some light on the water By LUCAS GARDNER Calhoun News-Herald Spring is here. The weather is warming up, and anglers know it is about time to get a line in the water. Those that frequent local reservoirs, ponds, lakes and the river know that fishing season is dawning. Those that are familiar with fishing know that during the spring, bass, crappie, bluegill and catfish start laying eggs. District Fishery Biologist Blake Ruebush shed some light on the local waters and what might be lurking in them. As a fish biologist, Ruebush works for the Illinois Department of Natural Resources on lakes and ponds locally. He is in charge of 10 counties around the area, including: Greene, Jersey, Pike, Scott, Calhoun and Adams. Ruebush’s day-to-day activities involve traveling to local bodies of water such as reservoirs and public fisheries. While on the water, he deploys trap nets and

shocks the water to get data on water temperature, fish and aquaculture. “We have been doing spring trap netting surveys on lakes throughout the west central area. The water temperature has been ranging from 55-62 degrees,” Ruebush said. “While we are doing those surveys, we’re primarily looking for crappie, muskie and walleye. As the water temperature raises, we will look at different species.” And from these surveys, locals can get an idea what the fishing season will look like. “As of right now, the spawning season is expected to be a little earlier this year for all species,” Ruebush said. Because of the seasonal and yearly changes of the temperature, Ruebush said, seeing earlier or later spawn times isn’t out of the ordinary. As anglers know, the first few temperature drops of the year and the recent frost can mess up fishing in what would otherwise be a good year. But,

the weather has seemingly corrected itself for the spring season and an early spawn. So far, this year, the water temperature is five degrees higher than it was two years ago. Because of this, Ruebush deduced there will be an early spawn season. On another note, in some smaller ponds around the area, the crappie have been biting pretty good. “Based on my own experience and viewing a few different social media fishing pages, the crappie bites have been pretty good,” Ruebush said. Ruebush covers the data gathering on water temperature, fish and aquaculture for White Hall Lake, Greenfield Lake and Pittsfield Lake, Siloam Springs among others. This year, the public fisheries previously mentioned, on average, look pretty good for fishing. For example, in 2016 the average fishing for Pittsfield lake was good overall. New data has not yet been published.

As for Greenfield lake, in 2019, that catch rate for bluegill was down 50 percent but 44 percent of the bluegill caught were over seven inches, which happens to be a decently-sized bluegill. Crappies there are undersized and need to be harvested by anglers, but the bass and bluegill population are good. The average bass size is over 15 inches, with 27 percent of the population over 18 inches. For bluegill, ranging between two inches to seven inches and harvest from anglers will improve the habitat for bigger bluegill. Although Siloam Springs is not located in Scott or Pike counties, a lot of anglers from those areas fish at the fishery, situated in Adams County.. Last year, the stats showed that the crappie population was poor. Ruebush intends to “get a handle on the crappie,” and the bluegill population and sizes were on an upward trend. (See, FISH, A2)

Major league pitches have changed over time By BILL HOAGLAND I have been a St. Louis Cardinal fan since I was 10 years old. Listening to Harry Cary on the radio got me hooked, and I am really enthused about the new season. Maybe it’s because of the pandemic; maybe it’s because the Cards seem to have a good team this year. In any event, I am content watching them on TV or listening on the radio. In fact, it is a heck of a lot cheaper – and safer – than driving to downtown St. Louis to watch a game in person, especially a night game. But as I listened to Mike Shannon describe a game, pitch by pitch recently, I realized that the game has passed me by. I had no clue about the differences between a “slider,” a “cutter,” a “four-seamer” and a “two-seamer.” Do you know the difference? So for my own edification, and maybe for yours too, here is what I have found out about modern day major league pitches. To illustrate how each pitch is supposed to work, we are assuming that we have a righthanded pitcher and a righthanded batter.

PCRE

(Continued from A1) Over the years, the building has seen significant changes and upgrades – including upgrades that Borrowman Kamp and her team will have to make as well now that the building has been in their possession since October. “We basically gutted it down to the bare bones to see where the major problems were, and then we went to work fixing it,” she said. Among the issues facing the building were the sidewalls, which had to be pulled back in and connected to the building. Not everything was torn out. Along with a cabinet on the west end of the building, the terrazzo and wood flooring was salvaged along with the oak beams supporting the structure and the stone and brick facade. Not much was original when Borrowman Kamp purchased the building, which was actually two separate buildings initially. Since then, it has seen a host of remodels and changes over the years. Mary Rastello, for whom the building is named, originally bought the building in

Fastballs today could be over 100 miles per hour. There are three types of fastballs: the “four-seamer,” which is thrown with the fingers horizontal to the stitches on the ball. These stitches provide the traction for this pitch to actually spin backwards and to appear as if it is rising as it approaches the plate. The “two-seamer,” thrown with the fingers parallel to the stitches on the ball, is basically your traditional fastball, with slight movement downward before it reaches the plate. That’s because you are not using the stitches to incorporate additional rotation on the ball. The “split-fingered” fastball, thrown with the index and middle finger in the shape of a “Y,” should suddenly drop just when it reaches the plate, again because of a unique rotation on the ball. This pitch is so effective that Bruce Sutter got in the Hall of Fame solely because of it. The “cutter” is thrown slightly slower than the fastball but with side spin on the ball; it is supposed to break away from the hitter as it reaches the plate. The “slider” is supposed to be thrown about 12 mph

slower than the fastball and it is supposed to “slide” from one side of the plate to the other, laterally and then down, with a break of between three and six inches. The “change-up” is supposed to be thrown 15 mph slower than the fastball but it has to be thrown in such a way that the pitcher looks as if he is throwing a fastball, thereby causing the hitter to swing too soon. The change-up is generally thrown with the ball in the palm of the hand instead of with the fingers. Then we still have the usual suspects, which have been around forever: the standard curve ball or “Uncle Charley” that when thrown correctly sharply drops from 12 o’clock to 6 o’clock at the plate, and the “knuckle ball” that, when thrown correctly, with no spin at all, could wind up anywhere.

1931 before buying an adjacent building in 1935. The brick work and the Rastello name was put on the front in 1935. It was then willed to her son, Adolph, who furthered the building, which was originally a bar. Various sections of the large building took on many businesses following. It once housed the Apple Blossom theater, a “modern” dry goods and clothing store, a restaurant and several bars. This building has been Brink and Dolly’s, Big Al’s, Houdini’s and most recently Main Street Bar and Tavern. At one point, the upstairs of the building also acted as a courtroom temporarily, after the old brick courthouse was vacated and condemned. As far as plans for the space, the east end will house the PCRE offices, while the larger open space will serve as a location for auctions, a new addition to her business as of July 2020. “We have an auction house in Pittsfield,” Borrowman Kamp said. “So, if somebody wants to do an estate sale – consign-

ments, antiques – I have got a building for that that is up there… But, I wanted something in Calhoun that was ours that we could actually host land auctions,” she said. When it is not getting used for auctions, the space, to be called the Rastello Room, will serve as a rentable space for wedding receptions, birthday parties, events and meetings. “I know with being in real estate what the needs are for the community, and this would be a bonus,” Borrowman Kamp said. The hope is that the construction will be done in time to move into the east end by June. The rentable space will be finished soon after. Borrowman Kamp noted also that the rear end of the first floor of the building will serve as rentable office space. Following the work on the first floor, efforts will be focused on the second floor, which will serve as temporary lodging. “There will be three separate spaces for lodging for hunters or if I have somebody who I sold their house and

ing to make them better. Already, the group is discussing areas in which they can work to promote stronger communities in the counties. “I know one of our very first projects will be geared toward police officers, firefighters and EMTs,” Hileman said. “Calhoun deputies need tasers, and Jersey police need some materials as well, so we’ll want to raise money for that cause.” But, as Hileman relates, the types of causes that the Jaycees can back covers a fairly broad spectrum. “Something that I like is giving back to families. For example, right now in St. Charles, there’s a family over there in which both parents passed away suddenly. The St. Charles Jaycees are working toward raising money for that family. If there’s a family in need in the area in some situation they can’t control, we can do an auction, a basket raffle or whatever. I’m excited to be able to do that in the community,” Hileman said.

Hileman further mentioned other types of projects that regional Jaycee chapters have taken on that highlight their community outreach, including the chapter in Highland, which was able to build a dog park. Of course, this implies that younger individuals in the community who get involved with the organization will be learning a great deal about local leadership, including working with local governmental bodies, already-existing community organizations and events planning, just to name a few. But, these things will come in their own time. For now, the JerseyCalhoun Jaycees are focusing their efforts on getting established and laying out their vision and goals for the future. “We really want to be a staple in the community,” Hileman said. “We’re hoping to have a lot to give back to.” Those desiring more information are encouraged to contact Dellaray Hileman at jerseycalhounjci@gmail.com.

has been a driving force.” After over 65 years of marriage, Wilma Sibley passed away in 2010. “They were married for almost 66 years,” Conkright said. “They are an inspiration.” According to Conkright, Sibley lives by himself north of Pittsfield, near the airport. “He lives totally independently,” Conkright said. “He

drives and pays his own bills. He is amazing, absolutely amazing.” Conkright said that her father frequently visits and often works on woodworking projects. Sibley has been a member of the Church of Christ for 70 years, and attends the Barry Church of Christ with Conkright and her husband.

OPINION

Hardin, Illinois

It is said that the most difficult thing to do in professional sports is to bat against a major league pitcher. With this assortment of pitches today, especially the 100 mph fastball, I can believe it. And if you think major league baseball players are overpaid, why don’t you try staying in the batter’s box when that 100 mph pitch seems to be coming right at your head, and then tell me what you think? ––––––––––––––––––– Q Bill Hoagland has practiced law in Alton for more than 50 years, but he has spent more than 70 years hunting, fishing and generally being in the great outdoors.

they need a place to stay for a week or two, I have the ability to house them,” Borrowman Kamp said. “I am not looking to be a landlord and have apartments.” Until that time, the focus is on bringing to life the once dormant building, and locals are eager to see how it turns out. “People are very excited,” Barrowman Kamp said. “They can’t wait to see it. I have had several people ask me, ‘Where are the pictures (of the progress)?’”

Fish

(Continued from A1) This fishery also has a trout population. Because of the spring water, the water temperature is cold enough for trout to stay alive. The park is stocked twice a year with trout, and the catch rate is excellent, according to Ruebush. A lot of the common fish, namly, bluegill, catfish, crappie and bass all have similar habitats, depending on location, and are what are called “sight-feeders” meaning they’re active and hunting in clear waters. So, if the water is clear and warm, the chances of catching those fish are higher but not guaranteed. “That’s why it’s called fishing not catching,” Ruebush said. When it comes to fishing for these fish, currently, most are still in deeper water. Over the next few weeks, if the weather cooperates, the fish will start to slowly move their way to shallower water and closer to the banks as the days get warmer and nights stop getting so cold. Eventually, fish will end up along the banks of bodies of water, drawn by the cover and warm shallow water. “This can mean a few things. Because the water is shallow in the bank area, it’s not uncommon to see moss and algae growing in the water. With the sunlight shining directly on those areas, moss and other aquaculture

climbs to the water surface,” Ruebush said. “In locations such as moss covered coves and banks, often fish will hide in those areas. The same thing goes for fallen or water covered trees, sticks, bushes, rocks and sand.” Each of those locations provide the cover fish need or a desirable nesting location. Crappies prefer water that is two to three foot deep and lay their eggs on woody structures but have been known to nest in 10-12 foot of water, according to Ruebush. These wooden structures serve a dual purpose, nesting location and cover. Bluegill are similar to bass when it comes to nesting. The two fish typically make concave circles in 12 to 24 inches of water in silt and clay or sand to lay their eggs. Unlike crappies, bluegill don’t use trees for cover when nesting. They are just out in the open near the bank. Bass are similar, but they tend to stay closer to cover and in 12-36 inches of water. These bank locations and shallow water set up a great feeding ground for nesting fish. So, using worms and crickets is a good bait. Worms are often a go-to for anglers if nothing is biting their soft or hard lures. However, different bait works in different locations, and no two fisheries are the same.

Jaycee (Continued from A1) The Jaycees is a group geared toward younger community members who seek to better their representative communities through such means as fundraising and hosting community events. As Hileman relates, anyone is more than welcome to get involved with the organization, but the state counts official membership to those between the ages of 18 and 40 years old. Also, given that this chapter is open to residents in Calhoun and Jersey counties, seasoned individuals as well as the community leaders of tomorrow from both counties will be able to work together, fostering working relationships and friendships between them that will positively impact both counties. Though the Jaycees are a branch of the Junior Chamber International, it provides a more relaxed atmosphere for its members, providing an environment in which younger individuals can get engaged in their communities while work-

WHAT'S GOING ON BETWEEN THE RIVERS Q Point News

by Carol Sue Carnes Q 618-883-2333

Just when we thought spring had finally arrived, we are now being greeted with a cold snap from the northwest. Tuesday, there is a chance of snow with Wednesday and Thursday morning possibly down to 26 degrees in outlying areas. I pray this does not harm the fruit crops in our area. Sharon (Held) Mcleod of Roundup, Mont., arrived last Tuesday morning to spend the week with her mother, Marie Held, and other family members. On Thursday evening, Barb Ward of Taylorville arrived and spent the weekend with them. On Thursday evening, I enjoyed dinner and a wonderful visit with them. Saturday, they were joined by other family members, Jim and Sharon Held of Alton and Bob and Bonnie Held of Brussels for dinner and the afternoon together. The week passed all too quickly, and Sharon returned to Montana this Tuesday. Debbie (Hagen) Kamp of Golden Eagle, Renee (Nolte) Ballard of O’Fallon, Peggy (Menke) Weiner and Yvonne (Imming) Ringhausen, both of Jerseyville, and Marsha (Haug) Cottingham of Bethalto enjoyed their yearly weekend together. This year, they chose the Innsbrook Resort in Innsbrook, Mo., for their relaxing time together. These five childhood-through-high-school gals all graduated at Brussels High School, Class of 1979. Glad to hear they had a most enjoyable time together. Maia Rowe, daughter of Donnie and Sina Rowe of Glen Carbon, celebrated her birthday on Sunday. A dinner in her honor was held at the Kyoto Steakhouse in Edwardsville. Attending, in addition to her parents, was her brother, Nolan; sister, Wren, and grandparents, Larry and Julie Bimslager of Golden Eagle and Don and Denise Rowe of Belleville. Many more “happy ones,” Maia! Greg and Sheryl Klass of Golden Eagle, along with their daughters and son-in-law,

Henry and Elizabeth Elik and Emily Klaas, celebrated Sheryl’s birthday on Saturday. They all enjoyed a delicious dinner at the Heavy Smoke BBQ in St. Peters. Many more “happy ones,” Sheryl! St. Matthew Church in Brussels held Adult Confirmation on Sunday. Received into membership was Ruth (Breden) Johnson of Hardin. Afterward, a dinner was held in the church hall in her honor and hosted by the Goetze families, Paul, Fred and Richard. God’s blessings to you, Ruth, in the years ahead. My guests on Sunday were Dennis and Shelly Scherer of Wright City, Mo., and John Carnes of Edwardsville. Between lunch and dinner, they accomplished a lot for me, for which I thank them very much, and we had a most enjoyable visit as well. Julie Carnes and Caleb spent the afternoon with her parents, Francis and Liz Toppmeyer. Maureen Tepen, third- and fourth-grade teacher at St. Mary’s School in Brussels was pleasantly surprised recently with a “Grandma Shower.” On March 20, Maureen and Pat’s daughter and her husband, Justin and Renee Swingler, became the parents of twin daughters, Ava Rose and Ellie Rae. School Principal Becky Lorts, and the staff and students of St. Mary’s School hosted the event in her honor. Maureen and Pat are now all set for when the twins visit. Such a wonderful way to honor one of the school staff! Don’t forget this coming Saturday, April 24, is the time to turn in your bags of “Cash for Trash.” In South Calhoun, there is a drop off center at St. Mary’s parking lot between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. Another drop off point is in the Calhoun County Highway Shed south of Hardin during these same hours. Our road sides are looking so nice, so please remember if you have any bottles, cans or trash of any kind please take it home with you to dispose

of. Farmers are finding broken glass bottles in their fields and this could be very costly to their tractor tires. Birthday blessings this week to Sheryl Klaas, Kelly Kuhn, Nicholas Kiel, Dawson Droege, Mary Kay Klemme, Pauline Eschbach, Dave Hagen, Cole Murphy, Gloria Snyders, Travis Hagen, Sarah Kinder, John Haug, Shannon Kamp, Melinda Snider, Keith Eilerman, Steven Nolte, Brennen Grimes, Scott LaMarsh, Heather Sievers and all others celebrating their natal day at this time. Happy Anniversary to Joey and Chelsie Kiel, Jay and Melody Schenk and all other couples celebrating their wedding anniversary this week. This week, April 19 through 24 is “Volunteer Week,” and April 22 is known as “Earth Day.” National Volunteer Week was established in 1974 with many organizations and groups volunteering to help with various projects. This year, many of the disaster-response agencies have had a lot of volunteers coming forward, but what we see is a lot of our smaller grassroots organizations are still really in need of people to help, raise funds, organize and advocate for their causes. This Volunteer Week is a chance to reaIIy get out there, get educated, inspired and invigorated! Think about how you can be of service in person in your community. Remember, there are things that you can do with your hands and things you can do with your heart! Saw this on Facebook and chose it for my weekly prayer. –––––––––––––––––– THE KNOT PRAYER Dear God, Please untie the knots that are in my mind, my heart and my life. Remove the have nots, cannots and the do nots. Erase the will nots, may nots and might nots that may find a home in my heart. Release me from the could nots, would nots and should nots that obstruct my life.

Well, the spring flowers and trees are looking beautiful and the mushrooms are starting to pop up. We had a beautiful Saturday evening for the Calhoun High School prom. So many handsome boys and beautiful girls with gorgeous dresses. Prom was held at Mt. Hope in Michael. Congratulations to Prom Queen Zoey Roth, daughter of Jim and Deana Roth, and King Grant Gilman, son of Kevin and Heather Gilman. The Pavilion opened on Thursday, and they have been busy as ever. Mark Becker has been recovering nicely, and it’s great seeing him out and about visiting with the customers. The McCully Heritage Project has been a little wetter than usual. Their beaver family has been busy building their home and improving the habitat for other wildlife. Wood ducks, Canada geese, muskrats, blue heron, green heron, a bald eagle, great egrets and even an osprey have been spotted. I’ve said it before; McCully Heritage Project is definitely a hidden gym right here in Kampsville. We are so fortunate to have it in our backyard. After 13 long months, I am so happy to say that Linda Orr got to visit at Calhoun Nursing and Rehab with her dad, Jerome Hayn. He was so glad to see her, and he looks so good. Congratulations to Rayna Zirkelbach who has accepted a teaching position this fall to teach Pre-K at Pleasant Hill. Those kids will absolutely love Rayna. She is a ray of sunshine. Happy birthday to Jeane Bland on April 15, Kara Baalman and Greg Becker on April 18. Happy 18th Anniversary Josh and Lacey Cummings on April 19 and Dre and Sami Angelo on April 20. Maci Lehr was the guest of honor at a bridal shower hosted by her bridesmaids on Sunday at her parents Richard and Liz Lehrs home.

Lacey Cummings, Beth Rios and Kristy Blumenberg enjoyed a sisters trip to Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge, Tenn., last week. Kampsville lost a wonderful resident last week. Joanann Newman passed away. Joanann was very active along with her husband, Ron, in the North Calhoun Fire Department for many years. For me personally, I got to know Joanann when I first moved to Kampsville in 1986 as a young mom who spent a lot of time pushing my little girl around in a stroller on many walks. Joanann would be out walking, and she would always stop to make over my daughter and visit and smile.

As years went on, it didn’t matter where I saw her. She always had a smile and a kind word. Just running into her could always put me in a good mood. Sympathy to her sons, her grandchildren and her very devoted husband, Ron. She will be missed. Please keep them in your prayers. Continue prayers also for Mark Bowers, Mathias Baker, Eileen Gardner, Chasity Wickenhauser, Mary Jo Kress, Joyce Blumenberg, Darren Kress, Jim Hill, Kurt Roth, Joe Gress, Amy Roth, Linda Herkert, Raymond Sievers, Jerry Crader, Kathryn Chapman, Bill Schumann, Nina Wilson and Cathy Taul.

The springtime weather is beautiful with blooming trees and orchards; just a little cool but sunny. Many of us are looking for mushrooms, but it’s been too chilly. They are waiting until a warmer day. We are reporting that the Old Fill Inn Station in Batchtown will be under new management. The new owners, Jimmy and Laura Broadbeck, are taking over on May 1 and will be open from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. with indoor dining. Jimmy and Laura will continue the business with the restaurant, store and pizza sales. Butch Bick and Robert Forsee are retiring after many years of business running the Old Fill Inn Station. We thank them for their service to the Batchtown community. It has been a gathering place for friends, family and organizations – a place where one could get a meal and visit with family and friends. Butch and Robert will be at the restaurant until April 30. Stop by and wish them well in their retirement. The Batchtown Woman’s Club will meet at St. Barbara’s Church in Batch-

JOANANN NEWMAN Joanann M. Newman, 75, died Sunday, April 11, 2021 at White Hall Nursing and Rehab in White Hall, Illinois. She was born just south of Pearl, Illinois on March 11, 1946 and was the daughter of Paul and Lucille (Peters) Kisselbach. She graduated from East Pike High School in Milton, Illinois, and in her younger years prior to her marriage, she worked at Motorola in Quincy, and served as a secretary at the Wilco power plant in Pearl. She met Ronald Newman one evening in Kampsville, and the two would eventually marry on September 24, 1965 at the St. John Lutheran Church in Kampsville. Together they were blessed with 55 years of marriage and the joys of raising their three sons. They raised their family in Kampville, and Joanann kept busying maintaining the household, waitressing now and then, and running her boys, along with may other kids, to and from their various activities. Surviving are her husband, Ronald C. Newman of Kampsville; her three

sons and a daughter inlaw, Ronald P. Newman of Jerseyville, Rod Newman of Alton, and Richard and Salem Newman of Bethalto; six grandchildren, Levi, Noah, Christian, Kendrick, Nicholas and Madeline; and a brother, Paul Kissel-

bach of Bethalto. In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by a brother, Calvin Kisselbach Sr.; and a sister, Dorothy Metzger. Family and Friends were invited to attend graveside services beginning at 1:00 p.m. Friday, April 16, 2021 at the Summit Grove Cemetery in Kampsville. Her sister in-law, Nina Crockett officiated. Joanann was extremely proud of her 25 year involvement and passion with the North Calhoun Fire Protection District. For those wishing to do so, memorials may be made to them, in care of Crawford Funeral Home in Jerseyville, who has been entrusted with the arrangements.

SCHOOL/SPORTS/OUR TOWN

Local schools find way to host prom

By LUCAS GARDNER Calhoun News-Herald Calhoun and Brussels, among other schools across the state, were not able to have prom last year because COVID restrictions. This year, however, things are back on track, for the most part, much to the excitement of school leaders and students alike. Cherri Burris, the principal at Calhoun High School, said the students were excited to get back to some semblance of normal. “The kids are excited about prom. This is the first dance they have had in a year and a half since last year’s homecoming. Even though not all the students can participate, they are excited,” Burris said. “I know because, last year, they bought dresses and tuxedos and all that good stuff for prom, and we weren’t able to have prom.” After the year-long hiatus, the high school students were finally able to enjoy the fancier things the school has to offer – namely senior prom, and such a step forward spells good things for the near future. “We’re starting to be able to have student activities, where the students can finally do the more fun parts of school. All of it is fun, but this is more fun, right,” Burris said. Burris said one of the most disappointing parts, outside of not having a normal prom, is the fact that not everybody was able to see the walk-ins in-person. “Because of social distancing, each student is only allowed two tickets to give to parents or family members,” Burris said. In order to combat this, the school live

25 years ago April 24, 1996 Calhoun High School held their Junior/Senior Prom on Saturday evening, April 20. Amy Isringhausen was crowned as the new queen and Mike Margherio was chosen as the new king. Others in the court were Kelley Kiel and Jeremy Ewen, junior attendants; Gretchen Siemer, Stacey Snyders, Tonya Lewis, first runner-up Jayme Klocke, retiring queen Danielle Lorton, retiring king Jeremy Sagez, first runner-up D.J. Neese, Andy Fortier, Jason Bechel and Ben Roundcount. Brussels High School will hold their annual Junior/ Senior Prom on Saturday evening, April 27, at the school gym. The coronation of the king and queen will be at 10:30 p.m. The 1996 theme is “Hold Onto the Night.” King candidates are Nate Sackett, Steven Meyer, Andy Hartman, Ronnie Meyer and Steve Klaas. Queen candidates are Sherri Jenkins, Sharon Tepen, Irene Hattemar, Jan Nolte and Kathy Carnes. The May 1, 1996 Calhoun News announced Ireme Hattemar and Andy Hartman as the Brussels prom royalty. 50 years ago April 22, 1971 The remains of the oldest dog burials in North America, which were uncovered last July, 29 feet beneath the surface of the ground at the Koster site near Eldred, date to about 500 B.C. Headquarters for the students and workers are located in Kampsville. The precise date when the dog was buried remained a matter of guesswork until Stuart Struever, Northwestern University anthropologist received the results of radiocarbon tests on two pieces of wood recovered from the same level as the dog skeleton. The radiocarbon measurements showed dates of about 500 B.C. and 5,100 B.C., respectively. These dates make the Koster dog burial one of the rarest and yet uncovered. A canine burial in Benton County, Mo., unearthed in 1960 by R. Bruce McMilian of the Illinois State Museum, was dated to about 5,500 B.C. The skeleton of the dog, about the size of a modern fox terrier, is nearly complete and “in remarkable state of preservation,” according to Frederick C. Hill, a graduate student in ethnozoology at the University of Louisville. “The head of the Koster dog is somewhat larger than that of a modern dog, although its body is fairly small- it only stood 17 to 20 inches high at the shoulders,” Hill siad. He said the pelvis, femoral and a few vertebrae were the only parts of the skeleton not recovered. The presence of two fires near the dog suggests the pos-

streamed the walk-ins. That way, everyone could see the students dressed up. Another thing that was different this year was the walk-ins were not at the grade school. Traditionally, the grade school would be where the students walked in, but they instead were at the fairgrounds this year. This also was the reason for the two tickets; the space at the fairgrounds was limited. The students walking in from the back of the stage to the front of the stage had an announcer just like a normal prom. The students were able to show off their attire and student companions. Brussels High School students were just as excited this year. “I think the kids are really looking forward to having something a little more normal to experience. I truly hope this will be a wonderful night for our kids,” Brussels Principal Pam Long said. Keishia Hartle and Amy Manker, the class sponsors, in tandem with the prom committee, have been working hard so that finally, students can waltz into an entrancing “night of rustic romance” and do something normal this year. “There is not much that this pandemic hasn’t had an impact on – in schools and the way things are done,” Long said. A Night of Rustic Romance is the theme the Brussels sponsors and committee have decided on. The theme in its own way is quite perfect. Over the past year, students and teachers have spent a lot of time at home away from each other. But now, they can feel “at home” with each other at the dance. The two groups have diligently planned everything for prom night, from the decorations to a caterer.

VOLLEYBALL Brussels April 14, the Raiders lost against Seymour in two consecutive games. In both sets, Brussels couldn’t cross the threshold of 15 points. Those that got kills and aces were: Delani Klaas with six kills, Hope Odeleher with three kills and one ace, Brianna Garcia with one kill and Emma Hagen with one ace. With the loss, the Raiders were 5-6. April 15, the Raiders won against Meredosia/ Chambersburg. The Raiders took the game win with two consecutive set wins.

In the first set, the Raiders were involved in a point battle against the co-op. After Meredosia showed some resistance, the Raiders came out on top 25-18. In the second set, Meredosia didn’t show as much resistance. Brussels took the win, 25-13. Those that got aces and kills were: Delani Klaas with seven kills and three aces, Brianna Garcia with three kills, Hope Odelehr and Ashlyn Lockwood with two kills, Josie Friedel with two aces and Emma Clark, Emma Hagen and Tessa Clark, all with one ace.

stone’s throw of where he was born- the old home farm. After the old farm home was destroyed by fire, in the fall of 1890, he built the home where he and his good wife now reside. It is located on a hill about one hundred yards from the site of the old homestead and the hill has an elevation of about 200 feet. Since residing on this hill, Mr. Stone has averaged three trips per day up and down this incline, for it is at the foot of this incline that Mr. Stone has his barn and where one’s barn is there he is also, the biggest part of the time. In figuring the number of miles Mr. Stone has lifted himself in ascending and descending this hill since he has resided there, the past 31 years, we find the sum to be 2,402 miles. Mr. Stone, apparently, is yet a young man, full of hope and energy, and has many useful years ahead of

him, we hope. He is in good health and vigor and yet performs his daily farm tasks. He has one of the finest farms in Calhoun County and nearly everything that is good for man and beast is raised there. The News hopes that Mr. Stone and Mrs. Smith, who too, in spite of her years, is yet strong physically and mentally, that Providence will guide them on and bless them with all the comforts of life, for many years to come. Those present at the double birthday anniversary were: Mr. and Mrs. Timothy Stone, Mrs. Sarah Smith and son Sam, Mr. and Mrs. Ed Borrowman and son William and daughter Miss Zelma, Mrs. Thomas Gordon, Sr., Mr. and Mrs. Ben Gordon, Mr. and Mrs. William Weaver, Mrs. Emma Blumenberg and daughter Miss Vivian, Mrs. Ruth Lammy and Mr. and Mrs. C.C. Worthy.

What’s Happening

sibility of a ceremonial interment, said Struever. Flint knives, spear heads and scrapers were found near the remains of the dog, he said. The Koster site is the deepest, and one of the oldest in Illinois. Ten levels of human habitation have been identified above the level at which the dog was found. Struever and his students plan to return to Kampsville this summer if financing is arranged and continue work on the Koster site. 75 years ago April 18, 1946 The Davis-Long Post 6047 Veterans of Foreign Wars was instituted as a Post and its officers installed on Friday night, April 12, at Waldron’s Hall. The instituting and installing officer was George Richardson Post Commander of Greene County Post 2878, who was assisted by Comrade Stone of the Edwardsville Post. The meeting was attended by all members of the DavisLong Post and 10 members of the Greene County Post. A nice talk was made by Comrade Whiteside of the Greene County Post and County Commissioner of Schools of Greene County. The elected officers of the Post are Bob Laubach, commander; Virgil Cecil Knight, Jr., vice commander; Cecil Jacobs, quartermaster; George Woodeard, post advocate; Harrison Crader, chaplain; Charles Webster, surgeon; Cecil Crader, Bill Wilnick and Edmond Blackorby, trustees. Lunch was served and six new members joined. Next meeting will be on April 26. Regular meetings are on the second Friday of each month. 100 years ago April 21, 1921 Monday, April 18, 74 years ago, a baby boy was born to proud parents of what is now known as Indian Creek, and Timothy Stone was that baby. The same day, over near Hardin, a little golden-headed baby girl was born, and that baby is now Aunt Sarah of Hardin. On last Monday, “Uncle Tim” and “Aunt Sarah” celebrated this event together at the nice farm home of Mr. and Mrs. Stone, on the hill overlooking the spot where the house stood when Mr. Stone first saw the light of day, 74 years ago. There were 20 in all present and a fine dinner, the only kind that Mother Stone knows how to prepare, was served, and everything to eat that one could wish for was there- yes one table wouldn’t hold it all and so a second one had to be pressed into service. And nothing would do but that the invited guests remain for the last meal of the dayand after all had partook there yet remained an oversupply. Mr. Stone resides within a

FOOTBALL Calhoun/Brussels April 16, Calhoun/Brussels lost against Greenfield/Northwestern. In the first quarter, Calhoun started off by scoring a touchdown and point after. Calhoun’s defense held the best they could, but Greenfield/Northwestern were able to score a touchdown. Calhoun’s defense was able to stop the point after. The next three quarters didn’t look good for Calhoun. In the second quarter, Greenfield/ Northwestern busted through Calhoun’s defense and scored two touchdowns and two points after. This trend continued after halftime. Greenfield/Northwestern scored 16 points and ended the game in the last quarter with an additional 13 points for a game ending score of 49-13.
