Hardin Council OKs stimulus funds for local businesses

By JARAD JARMON Jersey County Journal

Calhoun residents go out to clean community.

APRIL 22, 2020

T

he Hardin Village Council has recently approved a stimulus fund of $30,000 for local businesses.

The stimulus fund, using village sales tax and gaming tax monies, is a locally made fund to support Hardin businesses, who like others across the country, are having to adapt to the new landscape set

out by COVID-19.

Hardin Mayor Dave Hurley said village leaders sought to provide an avenue of relief to businesses to help cover small — but for some businesses meaningful — expenses. Money from the fund can be used by nonessential businesses over the next 60 days to cover items such as rent, loan payments, insurance, etc. The stimulus package would offer $3,000 to interested businesses that qualify.

Hurley said village leaders estimated roughly 10 non-essential businesses

Construction at Hardin Village Hall to make way for JCH clinic

By JARAD JARMON Calhoun News-Herald Hardin leaders are setting the stage for the Jersey Community Hospital clinic in the village to potentially move into the Village Hall.

During their meeting a couple of weeks ago, the Hardin Village Council approved Bizaillion General Contracting to remodel the basement of the Village Hall at 2 Lions St. — getting it ready for those businesses currently using space that those at the Jersey Community Hospital are eyeing in the Village Hall.

The bid for the project is $15, 296.

Negotiations regarding the lease agreement with Jersey Community Hospital are being worked out, according to Village Attorney Bill Strang, and would be addressed by the council at a later meeting. Although Strang is the village’s current attorney, Laef Lorton, who previously held the position, is working on the agreement on behalf of the village, because Strang serves on the building grounds committee of Jersey Community Hospital.

A timeline regarding the negotiations has not been established.

Strang said hospital officials have been looking at options to move out of the floodway for a while, as the current location of the JCH Medical Group Hardin clinic is right off the river. As such, it is (See, CLINIC, A4)

locally might ask to use these funds. As of Friday, two or three have expressed interest in the program.

At the state and federal levels, there are grant and loan programs designed to assist local businesses through this COVID-19 crisis. These programs offer bigger payouts such as the Downstate Small Business Stabilization grant, of which the village is applying for.

However, it will likely be months before these business owners see this money, prompting village officials to

craft the local stimulus fund, Hurley said. “They may not see that money for a while,� the mayor said.

Hurley said by the time the money actually comes in, “it may be too late.� “They need money now,� he concluded This fund is geared to help fill that gap, if only partially.

Business owners interested in the program are asked to call Village Clerk Danielle Hurley at the village office.

Calhoun teacher prints mask bands for essential workers

By JARAD JARMON Calhoun News-Herald While 3D printing technology may seem novel to most of us, for Calhoun High School teacher Seth Grimes, it’s been an exciting part of his classroom for years.

Recently, however, Grimes has taken advantage of the otherwise sad situation of school closing to print something other than tool holders and action figures: mask bands for essential workers.

According to Grimes, the idea started with his wife, Stacey, who brought an article to his attention.

The article detailed the plight of healthcare workers whose faces and ears were rubbed raw and blistered from having to wear the masks all day. The article highlighted community members who were printing bands that would, for the most part, disperse the pressure of the mask straps and give mask wearers’ ears a much needed break “It takes the pressure off of their ears,� Seth explained.

Logistically speaking, the straps consist of a small band with prongs on each side for size adjustments. They allow essential workers to customize the fit of their masks to make them as comfortable as possible.

So, Seth did some more digging and found a link for the straps.

Egg My House a success

By CONNOR ASHLOCK Calhoun News-Herald The Egg My House fundraiser to benefit the CHS football field renovations was reportedly a success. The Easter Bunny had plenty of help taking care of Calhoun this year, as well as a couple other surrounding areas. “We hid eggs all throughout the county from Meppen to Hamburg. We also hid eggs at a house in Grafton, as well as one in Jerseyville,� Sophie Lorton said.

Altogether, 21 houses participated in the fundraiser, 795 eggs were hid and $600 was raised for the Calhoun

High School football field. “We plan on giving the proceeds to the superintendent’s office,� Lorton said. “As of now, I personally don’t have another fundraiser planned, but we do plan on hosting this fundraiser again next year.�

Lorton, a sophomore at SIUE, planned and executed this fundraiser with her mother, Kerry Lorton.

Sophie desired to give back to the school that gave her a lifetime of memories and friendships.

Lorton and those that helped her had to follow strict instruction from (See, EGG, A2)

By CONNOR ASHLOCK Calhoun News-Herald The Calhoun Commissioners met via teleconference call April 20 where, among other items of business, an update was given on the Downstate Small Business Stabilization Program.

Karen Kanneken addressed the board, informing them that five businesses in unincorporated parts of the county have contacted her for application and that they have until April 27 to get their paperwork completed and returned to her.

Hanneken is also in charge of the stabilization program for the villages of Hardin and Batchtown. She reported that seven applications have been filed in Hardin and one in Batchtown.

A public hearing hosted by Calhoun County concerning the grant will be held on May 11 at 6:30 p.m. at the Richter Building. Should the stay-athome order be extended, the meeting will be held via teleconference call.

Contact the county clerk’s office for information on how to join in the call.

If anyone is interested in seeing an application for themselves, it can be emailed or mailed if you contact Karen Hanneken.

Public hearings specifically for other villages will be hosted on another date.

Hanneken also discussed the payroll protection grant.

She’s anticipating more funds will be placed in that account because its currently exhausted, but for the time being, banks aren’t accepting any more applications.

Hanneken further mentioned a new grant that has become available through the United States Chamber Foundation.

It is a $5,000 grant awarded to a small

employer who pays between three and 20 employees. They will administer one $5,000 grant per week until funds are exhausted. Business owners fill out the application and send it in at savesmallbusiness.com.

The organization is currently looking for donations from other businesses on a national scale if they wish to contribute to the fund.

Residents have shared that there is some difficulty in getting the application to download from the website, but they are encouraged to keep trying.

Rick Ringhausen gave his address, asking the commissioners if they had any thoughts about reaching out to the governor to determine how the reopening of the economy will be rolled out in our area. The question was whether they have to follow the Gov. JB Pritzker’s guidance in reopening local businesses or does the local government conduct the reopening in their own way.

The question was brought up on account of different regions of the state having very few cases compared to other regions and if the whole state had to wait for bigger areas that have seen more cases like Chicago to reopen or not.

A letter is being drafted to the governor where they will seek permission for the commissioners to reopen Calhoun County businesses in their own way. This is still an ongoing matter and will be further discussed at the next meeting.

Liquor licenses were also touched on at Monday evening’s meeting.

Larry Weineke contacted the United Counties Council of Illinois concerning an extension on liquor licenses for (See, COMMISSIONERS, A2)

OPINION

Hardin, Illinois

This summer could be a “hot one” in Chicago Bands

By BILL HOAGLAND Last year, during a five day period from April 7 to April 11, there were numerous shootings in four specific neighborhoods in Chicago. In fact, these shootings were horrific, with more than 13 people killed and another 19 wounded by gunfire during this five-day span.

This year, during the period from April 7 to April 11, those same neighborhoods were subject to the same state-wide home confinement order that applied to the rest of us--everyone being ordered to stay at home and not leave except for essentials, right? Despite this order of home confinement, there were 17 people killed and another 43 wounded by gunfire in these neighborhoods, nearly double the number of shootings of the year before. It was so bad this year that on April 7,

there was a shooting every 83 minutes.

Then, over this past Easter weekend in Chicago, an additional 22 people were shot, including three deaths.

The fact that this increase in violence occurred during the shut-down is appalling.

Okay, maybe some of these shootings occurred while the gunmen were dutifully honoring the Governor’s order by standing on their own porches as they fired off rounds at passersby. And maybe, just maybe the victims downrange were shot because they were ignoring social distancing rules. Who knows for sure?

To deal with the problem, the Acting Chicago Police Commissioner wanted police officers to focus on these four specific neighborhoods and to order those persons who did not actually live there to stay away.

As reported by Sam Charles

for the Chicago Sun-Times, some police officers were hesitant to enforce the order because “they questioned whether the order was constitutional.” Okay, maybe there were other reasons these officers were reluctant to enforce this rule; frankly, I don’t blame them for having some hesitations about even going into those neighborhoods. Truth is, maybe enforcement is simply out of the question.

Let’s face it; Chicago is a mess. If the gun violence nearly doubles during a stayat-home confinement order, how bad is it going to get

when warm weather arrives, there is massive unemployment and the confinement order is lifted? The situation does not look good.

––––––––––––––––––– 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. His wife, Annie, shares his love of the outdoor life.

Much of their spare time is spent on their farm in Calhoun County.

Outdoor Truths: Gary Miller

Turkey hunting still keeps heart racing No matter how long you’ve been doing something, there is always a first.

This truth goes for turkey hunting and it goes for me.

Let me explain.

I had decided at the last minute to go hunting that morning. I was about thirty minutes late but was still able to arrive before the hens flew off the roast. My lateness, however, made me guess as to where the turkeys might be. I guessed wrong.

After about forty-five minutes of calling and listening, I decided to move around the farm to see if I could entice a gobble from a listening tom.

Finally, after another fortyfive minutes, I heard one in the distance. He was over two ridges and there was a lot of thick stuff between him and me. He was on the next farm over and probably making his way to a popular field.

The decision I had to make was to either walk and climb directly toward the sound or

to back off, drive my SUV around to the other farm and try to get set up on him from there. I decided on the latter. The whole process took probably about thirty minutes. When I pulled at the other farm, the owner was there working. I stopped and talked for a few minutes and then eased out to the location where I was hoping to run into my gobbler.

The field I was working was about five acres. It was fenced in with barbed wire but there was a small section (about two acres) that was fenced in again with one strand of barbed wire that had been electrified. The electric fence was to keep a young group of heifers from wandering too far off. Since the electric fence was only about two feet high, I had no problem stepping over it to get where I was going.

When I finally made it to the end of the field, I proceeded to make some really

Commissioners (Continued from A1) businesses in unincorporated areas of the county.

The question posed was could liquor licenses be extended the number of days an establishment is closed. The answer was that if a license expired on March 31, April 30 or May 31, the application, not the license, is extended until July 1.

There are no licenses in Calhoun County that expire in this time period.

loud calls with my box call.

After a few aggressive calls, the tom gave up his location.

He was just below me in the hollow. I quickly set up two decoys and stepped across the electric fence at a corner where the electric fence and the main fence came together.

I sat down with my back to a small tree that had grown up in the fence, but after extending my gun, I was dangerously close to an electric one. I had no choice but to sit tight. I made one more call and sure enough, that turkey which was once down in the hollow was now on the edge of my field. But since the hill rolled slightly, I couldn’t see him yet.

I eased my gun and propped it up on my knee.

My eyes gazed back and forth, looking for a fan or a head — or something. But there was no sign yet. And then it happened.

I tried to make a slight adjustment in my position,

and when I did my gun touched the electric wire!

It started in my left arm and immediately shot through my right foot. I jumped, jerked, kicked the small tree like a mule, and after my selfadministered defibrillation, I never heard or saw my bird again. I hope that experience is not only my first, but my last.

My heart won’t take it again.

(Continued from A1) Soon after, he went to work printing some for local heroes who have to wear them every day.

“I have friends who have to be in those situations,” Seth said. “I thought about them.”

The original plan was to print 110, and that first goal has been met, with most of the straps going out to the nursing home in Hardin, with others going to the medical center in Hardin and the Jersey Community Hospital. Also, some have also gone out to a Chicago COVID-19 tent where a friend of his is working, he said.

Seth noted that he would likely continue printing them for others who are wearing masks frequently.

“I probably will keep printing them,” he said.

“People in the community might need some.”

While not everyone has the technology to serve the community like Seth Grimes, his motivation and drive stems from an increas-

“We laid out eggs at 12 houses on Saturday night, then laid out the other nine at 5 a.m. on Easter morning.

The most memorable thing that happened was when my brother, Will, accidentally stepped on one egg breaking it open and then directly stepped on another,” Lorton said with a laugh.

The troupe received plenty of thanks from families that participated.

“We had a lot of parents message us saying that their children loved it. We also had a couple of notes written to us thanking us and asking if we would be doing it again next year,” Lorton said.

“It was so much fun receiving pictures of the kids hunting their eggs in the morning. It just showed that even in these tough times, there is happiness to be found,” Lorton noted.

Happy Birthday Corner

25 Years Ago April 26, 1995 The Bank of Kampsville has announced the opening of its new banking facility at Hardin on Monday, May 1, 1995 at 8:30 a.m.

The new banking facility will be open on Thursday, April 27 and Friday, April 28 for the purpose of opening new accounts, ordering checks, and obtaining safe deposit boxes, however, no money transactions will be handled until May 1.

The new bank facility will maintain the same business hours as the Brussels Banking Facility and the Kampsville Bank. The bank would like to cordially invited everyone to visit their new facility.

50 Years Ago April 23, 1970 Attorney General William J. Scott has issued two guideline opinions for the forthcoming statewide referendum on proposed changes in the Illinois Constitution.

In substance, the opinions affirm the Constitutional Convention’s authority to draw up the format for the referendum and the manner of informing the public of all proposed changes in the state constitution.

It is further made clear that the Illinois General Assembly should appro-

priate additional funds to pay for the cost of the referendum and the cost of explaining the proposed changes to the public, since the Constitutional Convention cannot appropriate.

In an opinion to Samuel W. Witwer, president of the Constitutional Convention, Scott advised: 1. That all post-adjournment expenses, including the cost of the referendum, must be accomplished by an additional appropriation by the General Assembly.

2. That the Con-Con delegates have full authority to prescribe election procedures and the manner of informing the electorate of the new Constitutional proposals.

3. That the actual expenses incurred in the printing and dissemination of the Convention’s proposals are expenses reimbursable from the State to local election officials, along with expenses incurred in providing notice of the election, in tabulating the vote, and in performing the canvass.

The funds for informing the public of the proposals and for paying the cost of the election, however, should be appropriated by the legislature. This was made clear in a related opinion, issued by Scott to Jack E. Walker, Speaker of the Illinois House of Rep-

resentatives.

In that opinion, Attorney General Scott advised: 1. That that Constitutional Convention should reflect the will of legislature in providing the explanatory material to be disseminated to the public, within the limits of the funds appropriated by the General Assembly.

2. That the proposed Constitutional changes can be validly disseminated in newspapers, through broader dissemination may well be desired.

3.That the public is entitled to an explanation of each proposed Constitutional, revision, alteration or amendment, rather than a general explanation of only the major changes which are recommended.

75 Years Ago April 26, 1945 Pvt. Ernest J. Vetter, son of Mrs. Elizabeth Vetter, Kampsville, has been awarded the Combat Infantryman Badge.

This badge is awarded for satisfactory performance of duty in ground combat against the enemy, and entitles the soldier to $10 per month additional pay. The badge is worn on the left breast above the service ribbons. the local soldier’s division, commanded by Major General Withers A.

Illinois Higher Education Emergency Fund raises $550K

Illinois Board of Higher Education, Illinois Community College Board, and Illinois Student Assistance Commission are rallying private funders to support grants to meet emergency needs of low-income students at the state’s public colleges and universities.

Illinois public universities serve more than 50,000 low-income students, and the state’s community colleges serve more than 81,000 low-income students. To date the fund has raised $550,000.

Deputy Governor for Education Jesse Ruiz said, “Students are our priority and Illinois is doing everything it can to keep them safe and keep them on a path to their educational goals. That means taking extraordinary measures to make sure they can still participate in their classes when faced with emergencies, like not being able to pay the utility bill or needing to put food on the table.

I appreciate the three boards for initiating the Public University and Community College Student COVID-19 Emergency Fund.� “We are reaching out to the civic and philanthropic community that cares about equity in higher education,�

IBHE Chair John Atkinson said. “We know COVID-19 is already severely impacting minority communities disproportionately from a health perspective, but it also puts at risk thousands

of students’ ability to continue their post-secondary education.�

The money raised will be allocated to public universities and community colleges based on their percentage and number of lowincome students. “While colleges and universities are doing all they can to help students during this pandemic, vulnerable students still face the unstable housing, food insecurity, or lack computer equipment and internet access,�

IBHE Executive Director Ginger Ostro explained. “This fund will help meet those needs.� “This fund, in conjunction with institutions’ emergency funds, will make the difference between a student who can stay in college and a student who has to drop out. The COVID-19 pandemic has been especially hard on low-income students, and I’m impressed by the donors who are making it possible for these students to weather the transition,� ICCB Executive Director Brian Durham said.

Examples of students who are at risk of dropping out due to the impact of COVID-19 include: A student in quarantine at home awaiting a COVID19 test, who is not eligible for paid time off from his job. He cannot afford food or medication and worries how this will affect his education.

Plus, her father, a restaurant worker, is concerned that he’ll lose his job. “We know that lowincome students have great financial need in the best of times. These are not the best of times. Students who stop out of class are less likely to complete their education,� Eric Zarnikow, ISAC executive director, said. “The challenges faced by these students right now, coupled with the economic downturn as a result of the pandemic, means students who drop out now may never come back to finish their studies. This fund can help students across the state bridge that gap.�

This fund will be administered by the Southern Illinois University Foundation. The institutions each have an established foundation capable of quickly receiving and distributing funds.

All part-time and fulltime students in good standing are eligible. The money will be distributed as grants, which do not have to be paid back. Students should contact their school directly to find out how to access the emergency funds.

On the frontline Jersey hospital staff adapt to, grapple with COVID-19 spread

By JARAD JARMON Calhoun News-Herald It is a fight they have been preparing for for weeks.

As COVID-19 became a more pronounced threat in the country, Jersey Community Hospital was already working out a game plan to adapt to the complications that came with the diseaseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s spread. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When the issue started presenting itself, our emergency operations team started meeting and preparing, as we do have a plan in place for when something such as this would happen,â&#x20AC;? Beth King, Interim CEO of Jersey Community Hospital (JCH), said.

So, when the virus finally made it into the county, the Jersey hospital staff were ready â&#x20AC;&#x201D; although it has been an adjustment both at the hospital and on the homefront. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are so many things that have happened (in past weeks),â&#x20AC;? King, also CFO of JCH, said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is amazing how the organization has transformed. I feel like the teamwork has been outstanding amongst our team. People have been flexible in finding the best solution to really help our employees and to help our community.â&#x20AC;?

The virus is now in the community. Positive cases of COVID-19 have been confirmed over the past few weeks in Jersey and Calhoun counties, adding to the several other cases cropping up in the region, but hospital staff had time to prepare. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have been lucky in the sense that we had not had a case until April 1,â&#x20AC;?

Dr. Micheal McNear, Chief Medical Officer at JCH, said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So, I mean we had three weeks to work on our plan, to see what other places are doingâ&#x20AC;Ś We were trying to be as ready as we could be.â&#x20AC;?

Now with 12 positive patients (at the time of publication) in the tri-county area, they are trying to â&#x20AC;&#x153;crank things up,â&#x20AC;? he said.

As part of their preparations and efforts to halt or diminish the chance of the virus spreading throughout the hospital, they limited visitors entering, screened those that enter, and limited entrances into the JCH facilities as well as implemented a host of other health safety measures.

Early on, the limitations were more relaxed; for instance, restricting those under 18 from coming in.

That has since grown to encompass most visitors. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Now, we are really trying to keep visitors out completely, except for really extenuating circumstances like an end of a life type of situation,â&#x20AC;?

McNear said.

They have also opened a drive-up clinic to cover specific respiratory illness patients or those with symptoms consistent with COVID19.

This, coupled with the cancellation of a number elective procedures and fur-

ther implementation of telehealth, has done a good job of limiting the amount of traffic in and out of the hospital.

Their volumes have dropped between 50-60 percent across the organization, largely because people are staying home, King said.

McNear spoke specifically to tele-health and its efforts to reduce foot traffic in the hospital. Federal waivers have relaxed restrictions around tele-health, where doctors conference with

In preparation for this possibility, staff has been crosstrained to take on potential patients they would normally not care for. Chief Nursing Officer Julie Smith RN said staff is specifically being trained in critical-care to ensure they can adapt to the patient-load that could come in.

At this point, the likelihood of this surge coming to fruition changes daily. Earlier on, this worst case scenario appeared more inevitable.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are so many things that have happened (in past weeks).â&#x20AC;?

Beth King Interim CEO of Jersey Community Hospital patients over the internet or by phone, allowing the hospital to better utilize the feature in the community. He said the hospital has done numerous tele-health visits amid this pandemic so far. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In the past, we have done some tele-medicine where we may link a patient here with a specialist, say in St. Louis, but to actually do a tele-health visit with a patient at home and a physician here is something weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve done (lately),â&#x20AC;? McNear said.

He noted the use of telehealth has been developing and improving under pandemic circumstances as well as outside of them. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Tele-health will probably stay,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was something healthcare was slowly progressing to anyway. This just sort of pushed us to quickly adopt it.â&#x20AC;?

In addition, the hospital has grown its reach in the community with satellite clinics, helping individuals to not have to converge on JCH for care.

Even with all of these measures in place though, concern still lingers regarding the potential surge of patients, the type of patients and the supply of personal protective equipment (PPE), i.e. masks, gloves and other gear to care for these individuals.

McNear said their biggest concern and risk is the potential for a surge, meaning they would go from a normal daily census of say 10-15 to 40 in their facilities with emergency department visits going from 30 visits to 100.

It is not only a surge at the Jersey facilities that concerns the hospital officials, though.

They are keeping track of the surges at other facilities in the region. McNear said the JCH would have to take on more critically ill patients should there not be a facility the patient can be transferred to â&#x20AC;&#x201D; namely those in St. Louis. Should hospitals such as those in St. Louis be at capacity, they would have to take on those that would normally be transferred. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We would have to take care of a higher level of acuity than we would typically care for,â&#x20AC;? McNear said.

Now, the likelihood that the hospital would have to keep the most critically ill patients is a little bit less, McNear said.

Local healthcare officials are also closely monitoring their testing kits, especially in an environment where everyone wants one. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Probably one of the most limiting factors we have dealt with is the inability to do mass testing, which everybody wants,â&#x20AC;? McNear said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We just havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t had that capability. We have a limited amount of tests either from the state or that we have put together ourselves that we can send out to our lab that we use. We have a small supply. So, we have been really keeping those back for the patients that really need it.â&#x20AC;?

Also, hospital staff are working to be as conservative as possible with their use of PPE. Currently, they are well stocked on these items, but that could change quickly. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The problem is you do start burning through those fairly quickly once you do start to have a few patients (with suspected coronavirus),â&#x20AC;? McNear said.

Smith said they are trying to preserve as much as possible in the case of a surge.

Across the country, protective equipment â&#x20AC;&#x201D; namely masks â&#x20AC;&#x201D; are harder and harder to come by as individuals in and out of the healthcare field try to snag these items as soon as they are available.

Watching everyday people take up all of the masks in stores was especially frustrating for those in the healthcare field. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In the beginning, it upset us,â&#x20AC;? Smith said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Those were the people that are using the masks that we will need in the futureâ&#x20AC;ŚPreserve them for the people who need them.â&#x20AC;?

Since, healthcare workers have urged those considering masks to evaluate their health. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our biggest message has been if you are sick, stay home,â&#x20AC;? McNear said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Stay home. Save a mask,â&#x20AC;?

Smith said.

From the healthcare provider perspective, those who are sick, are caring for some-

one who is sick, or having underlying lung problems should be some of the only individuals who need to purchase N95 masks. Homemade masks should serve the rest of the population.

The community has been there for those healthcare workers on this front. Among other donations such as food from local businesses, people from the area have been donating masks to the hospital. It was noted that Farm and Home donated 95 face masks. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The community has been great at supporting us to the point where we have needed it so far. Our needs may go up from the community as we progress in this. I have no doubt the community will support us,â&#x20AC;? McNear said.

With confirmed positive COVID-19 cases in the area, the dangers for staff at Jersey Community Hospital are very apparent, but Smith said the staff is remaining calm and supportive, stringently practicing social distancing and other health safety measures â&#x20AC;&#x201D; going as far as to not eat in the cafeteria. King said there would normally be 40 employees in there. Now, on average, there are six.

Much of the concern for staff exclusively centers on their families. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everybody is a sturdy worker,â&#x20AC;? Smith said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They know that there is risk presented everyday, but now it is the worry that their families will be in jeopardy.â&#x20AC;?

As a precautionary measure, some staff shower before heading home, change clothes before heading home and are even isolating themselves from their families for the time being. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have had people peel away from their family a little bit so that they are not in jeopardy,â&#x20AC;? Smith said.

As far as further supporting those working on the frontlines in hospitals today, local hospital officials have urged locals to heed the advice of Centers for Disease Control and other health officials. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If they stay home, they will support us,â&#x20AC;? Smith added.

This goes doubly for those experiencing symptoms consistent with symptoms seen in COVID-19 positive individuals. Those who have flu symptoms, fever, cough, shortness of breath or have questions concerning COVID-19 and live in Jersey, Calhoun, or Greene Counties, are urged to call the JCH COVID-19 Hotline at 618-639-4277.

uman beings are social animals, and this fact is easily observed by noticing how we thrive in groups, how readily we help each other, and how we naturally teach and learn from each other. Conversely, we often struggle when we are alone, we are instinctively repulsed by antisocial behavior, and we require a long period of education and socialization to become fully functioning adults. All of this points to something important: our lives have meaning and value to the extent that we are contributing to the common good. Someone who is wallowing in addiction, for instance, cannot believe that God created them to just drink or use drugs all day. People who are unemployed often struggle with depression because they know that they arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t contributing to society through their labor. Oftentimes the best thing for the unemployed to do while seeking a job is to go out and do some volunteer work. This will give them a sense of worth, and might even lead to

WHAT'S GOING ON BETWEEN THE RIVERS Q Point News

by Carol Sue Carnes Q 618-883-2333

Surviving another week of isolation, I am finding I now have time to clean closets, drawers, cabinets, etc. And with the weather now in the mid 60’s enjoy working outside cleaning flower beds.

Went to church (online that is) at St. Paul Lutheran in Wood River yesterday, while the weeks before I attended Trinity Lutheran in Hoffman.

Both were very uplifting and will continue to watch until we are allowed to resume church services at St. Matthew’s. Thanks also to Erna Halemeyer who types up the bulletin each week and Rev. Randy Fisher who sends her his weekly sermon, which she includes.

This is all available every weekend inside the church door. I know my Catholic friends are also watching online St. Francis Xavier and Holy Ghost Church in Jerseyville, St. Ambrose in Godfrey and the Catholic Diocese of Wichita to listen to Bishop Carl Kemme.

Let us continue forward in Easter resurrection joy, confidence and assurance, as we read and hear the daily news, deal with loneliness or just feel overwhelmed at times.

We know that our Lord Jesus Himself, by His very own promises and assurance is guarding us by and through faith each and every day.

Congratulations to Macie Kinder of Brussels High School and Mackenzie Cranmer and Emma Green of Calhoun High School on being Silver Medallion Academic Excellence Award winners.

Macie Kinder is the daughter of Keith and Rachelle Kinder of Golden Eagle. They were to be honored at the 32nd Annual Banquet and Ceremony the past week at Lewis and Clark College in Godfrey, but due to the COVID19, this was another thing that had to be canceled.

This annual honor is for the high school graduates that have achieved the highest standing in their respective high school class. Only the top 8 percent of each graduating class receive this Silver Medallion Award. Many thanks to the generous corporate sponsors that make this possible each year.

Congratulations to Pablo and Ally Oliveira of Suwanee, Ga. on the birth of a daughter on April 13. The infant has been given the name Emma Paige. Big sister is Sarah Cecilia. The proud great grandmother is Cecilia Mueller of Hardin.

If you, or someone you know, might be interested, have them call the office at 618-883-2707 and leave a message.

Just heard the hummingbirds have arrived. Time to get the feeders out and fill with a solution of 4 cups water to 1 cup sugar, please do not use red dye.

Both Earth Day and Arbor Day are celebrated this week.

April 22 is Earth Day, the purpose of this is to pay attention to the condition the environment is in and what we can do to help. Since the Calhoun Community Foundation is sponsoring “Cash for Trash” until May 16, this is an excellent way to help. Trash bags are still available at the local banks and the weather is nice to get out and clean our roadsides.

Arbor Day is April 24, this day is dedicated annually to public tree planting. It is to raise awareness of trees and the important role that they play in our environment.

Sorry to say but the biennial Health Fair of the Brussels and Batchtown Woman’s Clubs, that was to take place this week, has also been postponed. At this time it is tentatively set for Thursday, Sept.

Bernard and Trish Johnes will celebrate their twentyfourth wedding anniversary, April 27. We wish them a happy anniversary and many more years together.

Brad and Anna Rose and the family have been getting outdoors and enjoying the weather. They drove up and talked with Grandma Joyce Simon Sunday and caught up on the family news. All are keeping in touch with each other.

Our sympathy goes out to the family of David and Betty Strasser of Alton on the loss of their son-in-law, Randall Garrett age 56 of

Brighton. He will be sadly missed and fondly remembered.

Carlin Pohlman, son of Jeremy and Andrea Pohlman, celebrated his 11th birthday April 13 with his brother Braden and sister Lauren at home. They had a delicious barbecue supper with a birthday cake.

We wish Keith Klocke a happy birthday. He celebrated Monday, April 20, at home with his wife Hope.

They enjoyed the great outdoors, and a birthday supper and cake. Have a great year Keith.

Jacob Eilerman, age 10, had a birthday party with his parents Brian and Kay Eilerman and sisters Lindsey and Emily Monday, April 20 at their new home in Troy, Mo. They are moving in this week. Happy birthday Jacob have a fun year.

–––––––––––––––––– Memory Rendezvous Memory builds a little pathway That goes winding through my heart, It’s a lovely quiet, gentle trail From other things apart.

I only meet when traveling there The folks I like the best, For this road I call remembrance is hidden from the rest.

But I hope I hope I’ll always find you In my memory rendezvous For I keep this little, secret place To meet with folks like you.

Everyone needs someone, it certainly is true, and I’m very glad and thankful to know someone like you.
