Brussels High School baseball not happening this year By JARAD JARMON Calhoun News-Herald It appears the concerns expressed by some parents in the Brussels School District about attendance and interest in baseball were well-founded. While there will be a baseball season in the state this year, people will not see a boys baseball team hailing from Brussels. “We are not able to field a baseball team,” Brussels Superintendent Mark Martin said. “We have low numbers and a lack of students who are interested in playing, so we only have softball this year.” This is the first year in recent memory that the school has not been able to field a team for baseball. “It is disappointing to everybody I think,” Martin said. “It is a shame for the kids who want to play, but the problem has been there have not been a lot of kids

who want to play.” Smaller school districts such as Brussels also deal with dwindling or simply low enrollment, which has spurred interest recently in establishing another co-op with Calhoun. Martin has reached out to Calhoun Superintendent Andrea Lee, who needed to reach out to her school board to gauge their interest in the matter. “Martin reached out asking if we would have any interest, and that was between board meetings,” Lee said. “... It is not a conversation that we have ever had. It has never been brought up, so I said I will put it on as a discussion item at our April meeting. So, that is where it is at. That is where it sits right now. There won’t be any action taken on it.” Until then, the prospect with Calhoun is a work in progress. Currently, there is only one co-op with Calhoun for football, where only a handful of students play. There was interest in recent months though to expand

that partnership to other sports – namely boys baseball and basketball. A couple of months ago, a parent within Brussels Unit 42, Mark Nolte, had expressed an interest, reportedly shared by other parents of students in the district, to the school board in having a co-op agreement with the Calhoun Unit 40 for more sports. Nolte expressed worry for what the low enrollment in the school might do to the athletic programs in the district, hoping the school board might consider doing the same thing for sports such as baseball and basketball. Along with their co-op with Calhoun, the district also has one with St. Mary’s School on a clay target shooting team. Kim Klaas, a board member knowledgeable on Illinois High School Association (IHSA) dealings, suggested making an official move to look for co-ops. “To be serious at looking at co-oping further, our board would need to offi-

cially approve pursuing other co-ops,” Martin said. In light of that information, the board at their meeting last week OK’d the further pursuit of co-ops for boys baseball and basketball. Outside of Calhoun, Brussels’ options are not ideal, and that comes down largely to distance. Calhoun Unit 40 is the closest viable district. Other districts like Pleasant Hill and Jerseyville could possibly be propositioned, but the distance would be significant for the players should these districts even accept such an offer. “Distance starts to become a problem,” Martin said. Regarding the news of the Brussels baseball season or lack thereof, Martin added that they did not have a baseball coach lined up for the team, even if there was enough interest. While Brussels baseball is not happening, softball is still a go this year.

By LUCAS GARDNER Calhoun News-Herald The region saw a frost along with a heap of snow that disappeared as soon as it came, stirring up memories for locals of a snow at almost the same time several years before. This happened at nearly the same time five years ago. Many farmers in 2016 suffered a major loss of their crops because of the cold then, but this time around, they emerged relatively unscathed, according to Brian Matthews of Blue Ridge Farms. In 2016, Matthews remembers having just planted new peaches in the lower portion of Calhoun County. That year, the region had an out-of-the-blue cold front blow in late in the year. As is the nature of cold, it froze the life and production of the crops all over the area. Matthews’ young peach trees, among other fruit-bearing trees, couldn’t stand up to the 20 degree temperatures. Matthews lost approximately three quarters of crop, with only the remaining quarter surviving. This year, Mother Nature decided to do it again, but temperatures didn’t drop to 20 degrees. Although it was not quite as cold, it was still freezing nonetheless. “The temperature stayed around 28 degrees. It was 24 degrees that morning, and I was a bit worried. At that point, it could go either way. That two or three degree difference is a critical spot. If it got any lower, you could lose everything,” Matthews said. Thankfully, the temperatures did not dip too low, and the freak winter weather they did get might have done some good – thinning out the trees for them, though Matthews said even with the minor loss the trees were still heavy with fruit. “I still have to thin them out, even after that,” he said.

Fill Inn Station to be under new ownership Hardin yard sale back after two-year hiatus T By LUCAS GARDNER Calhoun News-Herald

he Old Fill Inn Station or what is now simply called The Fill Inn Station in Batchtown, has recently come under new ownership. The Brodbeck Family will officially take over May 1.

Over the past three years, Julie Brodbeck has worked under the previous owners, Robert Forsee and Butch Bick, and basked in the joy it brought her. So much so, that she spoke with her parents, and coxed them into purchasing the Batchtown staple, known as the Old Fill Inn Station. “I’ve been working there for about three years now as a waitress. I’ve always loved working there and loved the customers. I have always been interested in a restaurant and wanted to own my own business,” co-owner of The Fill Inn Station, Julie Brodbeck said. “I just didn’t know what type of business, and my mom liked the idea of it. So when the opportunity came, we decided to take it.” The two previous owners have tried to sell it before but failed in their efforts. After 13 years of ownership, Forsee and Bick decided to give it up, because of Forsee’s declining health, Brodbeck said. “Our small town can’t afford to lose the restaurant. It just gives the town so much,” Brodbeck said. “So, we decided to go ahead and purchase it. That way, we can keep it going for this small town.” All in all, the whole idea for this purchase came from Julie wanting to own her own business, and the importance of keeping this one-stop, “eat and shop,” afloat for little old Batchtown. The restaurant serves a

took notes and learned from Robert’s every move. “I’m really close with Robert, who is the current owner. I was always interested in what he had to do around the restaurant. If he needed something, I’d jump on it, and make sure it got done for him if he needed me to,” Brodbeck said. Despite her waitressing duties, Brodbeck often helped Forsee with ordering supplies among other important jobs such as cleaning the ice cream machine, ordering things the restaurant needed and purchasing groceries that the Old Fill Inn Station needed.

By JARAD JARMON Calhoun News-Herald Marred by an unprecedented flood one year and a worldwide pandemic the next, options for yard sales, let alone townwide yard sales, have largely been non-existent recently. But as more receive the vaccine and restrictions loosen, organizers for such collective yard sales are excited to get the ball rolling again, like in Hardin. It was announced recently that the Hardin villagewide yard sale is a go this year after a two-year hiatus. “We always used to have one in May, and we’ve always battled the flood, because it is usually flooding in May, but come hell or high water, we are having a townwide yard sale,” Hardin Village Clerk Danielle Hurley said. It is expected to be a two-day event, officially going from noon to dusk Friday, May 7, and 8 a.m. to noon Saturday. It is up to each individual how late they stay “open,” though – specifically on Friday. “It is just exciting to get a little bit back to normal, and I am sure with people renovating homes and doing small projects that they are ready to get rid of some of their household goods,” Hurley said. On top of that, the Village of Hardin will be hosting clean up days, pending Hardin Village Board approval, for the residents of Hardin only, with dumpsters available for people to drop off their unwanted items. People looking to drop off items are expected to show proof of residence in Hardin. Also, they will not be accepting any paint, electronics, tires and other difficult-to-dispose-of items. Other details in terms of times are still undefined, but the clean up days are expected to follow the week of the yard sale.

few purposes. The primary function of the restaurant is, well, a restaurant. As for the other two, the restaurant has a bar and a small section where daily groceries such as eggs, bread and milk can be bought. “My family backed me 100 percent. They decided it would be a good idea,” Brodbeck said. It helped that business was not new to the family. Brodbeck has a family history of farming and dairy, but, this type of business practice is a little new. Still, for someone that has always had an interest in owning her own business, she paid close attention to Forsee. Brodbeck, over her three years as a waitress and future co-owner,

Pentagon ordered to disclose UFO info By BILL HOAGLAND On Feb. 21 of this year, a pilot on an American Airline flight in New Mexico reported seeing a silver “torpedo” object flying above his plane and at a much greater speed in the same direction. There is simply no earthly explanation for this sighting, but it is not the only UFO or Unidentified Aerial Phenomena in recent months. There have been others, including objects that exhibit no exhaust and that appear to come to a complete stop in the sky and then zoom off at incredible speeds or that seemingly disappear into the ocean. When questioned about these ongoing observations, the Pentagon has stated they cannot explain these sightings, but they do now acknowledge that they are real and not the result of someone’s imagination. For years, some folks have felt that the Pentagon, and for that matter, the entire US government, has not been candid about these sightings and that they know much more than they are revealing. If you are one of those folks, it may interest you to know that all intelligence agencies of the US government are now

required to make a full disclosure to the public of everything they know about UFOs on or before June 25. This is by virtue of the Intelligence Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2021, which was enacted in late December 2020. John Ratcliffe was the Director of National Intelligence when this legislation was enacted. In an interview conducted on Feb. 20 of this year, Ratcliffe was asked what the public can expect to be revealed when the government responds to this reporting requirement. He said that there have been “quite a few” sightings that cannot be logically explained and that these sightings have been occurring “all over the world.” He went on to say that some of these sightings were corroborated by multiple sources, both human and electronic at the same time, thereby eliminating any doubt that they did in fact occur. Apparently, the information to be released still must first be declassified. That suggests that to the extent these sightings may involve something China and Russia are believed to be responsible for, that information will not be declassified and released. But if the information

does not appear to involve Russia or China, the Pentagon and the rest of the intelligence agencies are supposed to reveal what they know, and it could be unsettling. Ratcliffe suggests that the public will be surprised by the sheer volume of unexplainable sightings that have not been previously revealed. As I am writing this column on April 16, a video taken by military personnel was released yesterday to the public purporting to show a “swarm” of triangular-shaped UFOs circling and “harassing” a US Navy vessel just off the California coast. This sighting has also been confirmed to be the “real deal.” As the government declassifies the UFO information on hand, here is my question: what if they really do have something more than a bunch of inexplicable “sightings” on radar? What if they actually have in their possession debris from a crashed spaceship,

as suggested by journalist Ben Mezrich, in his book, “The 37th Parallel”? If the government has something of a tangible nature in their possession — such as debris from a crashed spaceship — leaving no doubt that we are not “alone,” should it be declassified and disclosed? In other words, if such material exists, is the world ready for confirmation that we are not “alone?” When you consider the ramifications of such a disclosure, maybe not. Stay tuned. June 25 is only two months away. ––––––––––––––––––– 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.

Fill Inn Station (Continued from A1) When Julie and her family take over May 1, she says things will be different for her. “Just working there will be a lot different. It’s going to take a lot of time to figure everything out. But, we live in an amazing community, and I think we will have a lot of support from them,” Brodbeck said. In every situation, when someone new takes over a business it can be overwhelming. But, Brodbeck has a few major ideas for the next step the Fill Inn Station will take. “Currently, Robert is doing carry-out only, but we want to get the dining room opened back up,” Brodbeck said. “We have a lot of renovation ideas. The flooring needs fixed and the place needs some updating. As soon as it is possible to do that, we are going to update inside. The plan for the restaurant’s future after updating is removing the bar that sits inside and

(Continued from A1) Since the announcement, Hurley said there has been a lot of excitement for the yard sale. “I think it is much needed, if nothing else but to get back to a sense of normalcy,” Hurley said. So far, five to six have confirmed to take part in the yard sale. Hurley noted anywhere

just doing the pizza and ice cream store. “Part of that is just to have more dining and parties and stuff.” Those aren’t the only renovation ideas Brodbeck has. She also hopes to redo the walls in the restaurant and remodel the restrooms. “Long term, we have a lot of things we want to do with the building,” she said. This posed the question of how this was going to be done. Luckily, Jimmy Brodbeck, the father of Julie and husband of Laura Brodbeck, is a handyman and “jack of all trades,” according to Julie. So, all the future renovations are expected to be done by Jimmy and family. As an end goal for Brodbeck, she hopes to see the restaurant become more family-dinner oriented, rather than a bit of this and a bit of that. She hopes to make the new Fill Inn Station a place where people can have more parties and community activities.

As is typical for spring, residents usually can expect a host of road work signs along the roadside, and this year is no different. The Calhoun Highway Department has several projects in the works or that have already started. As crews continue to work on the Batchtown Road Improvement Project, it is anticipated that pavement recycling work will begin on May 3. Batchtown Road between the village of Batchtown maintenance limits and Hill Top Drive will be closed for approximately a week to complete this work. The exact timing of the road closure is dependent on weather conditions. Drivers should watch for signage placed along the route for updated closure times. Detour signage will also be posted during the closure. Signs will be placed along the Illinois River Road near Salt Spring Road to the north and Schleeper Lane to the south during the closure. Preliminary environmental and cultural review work is also underway as part of the joint effort between Calhoun County and

the Village of Hardin to make improvements to Poor Farm Hollow Road between Illinois Route 100 and the Calhoun Elementary School. The Calhoun County Highway Department will assist archeological crews with their investigation and review of the site. Environmental and cultural clearances must be acquired before the project can move forward with design. Calhoun Unit Road District crews have also begun preparation for chip sealing work this season. “We have had a major setback the past two years as a result of the disaster response and recovery work associated with the 2019 flooding,” Kyle Godar, county engineer, said. “We hope to catch up on our chip seal program some this season and anticipate spraying over 200,000 gallons of oil.” The controlling factor for the Unit Road District is man power. “Keeping up with maintenance while these big projects and disaster recovery are going on is tough,” Godar said. “We cannot hire any more maintenance workers due to the limit on the number of employees that is a result of the affordable healthcare regulations.”

ife is a series of stages, each of which builds on the previous stages: birth, infancy, youth, adolescence, adulthood, etc. One of the great ironies of life is that when we have finally figured out or mastered each stage, it is usually over and we are onto the next stage, with its own challenges which we must figure out once again. Children must learn to walk before they can run, and adults must learn to navigate the many challenges of living well before they can handle the challenges of senescence or declining health that comes with advanced age. In our youth we are growing and developing, but once we get to a certain point it is more accurate to say that we are aging. This does not mean that we cannot continue to grow in other ways.

The old business entailed information about the Easter egg hunt that was held at the town park on Saturday, April 3, with the Easter Bunny. Members handed out prepared bags of Easter eggs and candy to the children who arrived to receive their treat. It was a special year, special measures were taken for safety because of the coronavirus. The Easter Bunny and a member of the club handed out the remainder of the Easter bags to the children at the Franke Ball Park. Everyone enjoyed the day.

Peach

(Continued from A1) As previously reported, the crop this year was expected to be good. Matthews noted he, personally, hadn’t had a crop like this in four years, and his experience seemed to be shared by farmers across the county. Other peach farmers are seeing peaches flourish in this same way, and they’ve said the same thing about the freeze helping them. A part of those peaches – about half to three-quarters for some – will have to be removed for the health of the tree anyway. So, all in all, even when the temperature dropped below freezing, it seemingly had no negative effect on the crop. According to Matthews, after speaking with a few others in the peach farming scene

$7, the full cost of the meal. Thursday, April 29: Baked ziti, brussels sprouts, buttered turnips and cake. Friday, April 30: Baked chicken, country style potatoes, stewed tomatoes and pineapple dessert. Monday, May 3: Asian chicken over rice, oriental vegetables, lima beans and mandarin oranges. Tuesday, May 4: Cheese lasagna roll up, creamed spinach, california blend vegetables, carrot cake, juice or fruit. Wednesday, May 5: Enchilada casserole, cheesy rice and beans, mexicali corn and scalloped pineapple Just a reminder that we have transportation available for our Calhoun citizens. I will be happy to assist you with this matter. We use TriCounty Transit. These vehicles are fully accessible with ramps that will allow getting on and off of the vehicle with ease. The Secretary of State Mobile Unit will be in Hardin May 7, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

in Calhoun, there were only reports of some minor damage but nothing too serious, great news for those who remembered the losses of 2016. Still, at least for Matthews, not all of the crops were unscathed this year. His Asain pears did not have the same “peachy” ending as the other summer fruits. “Our Asian pears were completely frozen out,” Matthews said. For Matthews and Blueridge Farms, this means no pears this year. The cold air has killed the fruit, and the trees will no longer be able to produce this year. Luckily, the apples were not affected, so the farm will have both apples and peaches to satisfy locals’ and tourists’ sweet tooths.

Robin and Bernie Hillen entertained their grandkids, Leland and Roman, Sunday. Robin and Mary Ann Bailey took a trip to the doctor last week. Linda Russell entertained her family Saturday and Sunday. Jeremy and Angie and the girls stayed overnight and played on the farm, and Steve and Cindy and Steve and Hayden helped Grandma Linda with mowing her grass and yard work. Terry Presley attended a bridal shower Sunday for Mariah Suddarth at Elsberry, Mo. It was given for the bride to be’s mother and sisters. Mariah is engaged to T.J. Presley and is planning a summer wedding, and enjoyed her special day with family and friends. The Brussels High School Prom is this weekend. It starts at 5:30 p.m. at Brussels High School. Happy Birthday to Brennen Grimes who celebrated his 18th birthday with family and friends. Have a wonderful year, Brennen. Bill and Elaine Titus’s company on Tuesday was Linda Orr, and Saturday was Vera Klockenkemper. All enjoyed their visits. ––––––––––––––––––– A BAG OF TOOLS Isn’t it strange That princes and kings, And clowns that caper In sawdust rings, And common people like you and me Are builders for eternity?

We are starting out the week with a beautiful sunny day. Temperatures in the 80’s for a few days before rain sets in and cools things down a bit. Lilacs, redbud and dogwood are in full bloom, and photos on Facebook of people starting to find mushrooms are sprouting up. I believe spring has finally arrived! Confirmation services were held again at St. Matthew Church on Sunday, this time, for the youth, with Olivia Brodbeck and Kevin Garcia confirmed by Rev. Randy Fischer. Olivia is the daughter of Chad and Amanda Brodbeck of Batchtown, and Kevin is the son of Pepe and Majesta Garcia of Golden Eagle. After services, a buffet dinner was held in the church hall for family and friends. God’s blessings to both Olivia and Kevin. Congratulations to Joey and Chelsie Kiel of Brussels on the birth of a son at 6:06 p.m. on April 23 at Mercy Hospital in St. Louis. The infant weighed seven pounds and six ounces, measured 19 and a half inches long and has been given the name, Tobias William. Elder children are twins, Stevie and Charlie, age 3. Grandparents are Steve and Pat Tepen of Hardin and Dennis and Jeanie Kiel of Brussels. Great grandparents are Steve and Melba Tepen and Jim and Connie Wieneke, all of Hardin. Paul and Mary Lou Goetze of Meppen were among those that spent Sunday in O’Fallon, Mo., at the home of Paul and Ann Marie Pohlman. The occasion was the ninth birthday of their son,

Wyatt. Also helping him celebrate was his sister, Gracie. Lots of good food, and of course, birthday cake and ice cream was enjoyed by all present. Many more “happy ones,” Wyatt! Dinner guests of Sarah Kinder of Brussels on Sunday were Cecilia Mueller of Hardin, Maggie Behrens of Godfrey, her cousin, Elise Kist of Eden Prairie, Minn., and her two daughters, Blake from Chicago and Morgan from St. Paul, Minn. The dinner was to celebrate her Aunt Cecilia’s upcoming birthday on May 6. Sarah also celebrated her birthday on Friday. Many more “happy and healthy ones” to both of you! George and Yvonne Baecht of Golden Eagle attended the Jersey Community High School band concert last Sunday. Their grandson, Matthew Baecht, son of Keith and Becky Baecht, played in the Symphonic Band. Sounds like it was an enjoyable afternoon for all. John and Caleb Carnes of Edwardsville spent Sunday on the farm once again. Many thanks to both of them for all their work. Also over the weekend, Dennis and Shelly Scherer of Wright City and John Carnes visited with Melinda Snider. With it being her birthday on Saturday, we helped her celebrate with birthday cake and lots of gifts from all the family. On Friday evening, I treated her to dinner at Wittmond’s and a visit afterwards along with cake and ice cream at my home. Many more “happy and especially healthy ones,” Melinda! Many thanks to all who

collected “Trash for Cash” and turned it in on Saturday. Judy Burch, treasurer of the Calhoun Community Foundation (assisted by her husband Charles), was in charge of the collection site in Brussels. Now we just need everyone to keep our roadsides looking so nice and clean. If you have trash to dispose of please take it home with you. Birthday blessings this week to Elly Pohlman, Mackenzie Plough, Melvin Wieneke, Wyatt Pohlman, Ida Snyder, Susan HaugKinder, Anita Baecht, Lisa Heffington, Sheila Greenlief, Fred Kuhn, Gerald Friedel, Tony Franke, Sharon Held, twins Levi and Lexie Schulte and all others celebrating their natal day this week. Happy Anniversary to Vinny and Katie Mulkins, Joe and Angie Tepen, Vince and JoAnn Brinkman, Joe and Cyndi Kinder, Jim and Laura Hazelwonder, Larry and Susan Meyer, Roy and Pat Jacobs, George and Yvonne Baecht and all other couples celebrating their wedding anniversary this week. –––––––––––––––––––– PRAYER FOR PEACE AND TRANQUILITY Dear God, Teach us what it means to have faith in silence. When we face trials that are beyond our understanding, help us to find peace. Help us to be joyful in hope, patient in affliction and faithful in prayer. You set all things in accordance to your time. Remind us to wait patiently and find peace in your plan. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

St. Mary students attend Mission Mass On Tuesday, March 23, several students from St. Mary School, along with their teacher and chaperones, traveled to Springfield to attend the rescheduled Mission Mass at the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception. Originally, the Mass was scheduled to take place last September, but because of COVID restrictions, the Mass was moved to a later date. Bishop Thomas J. Paprocki concelebrated the Mass with several other priests. Bishop Paprocki spoke to the congregation about the call to be missionaries. After the Mass, several schools were recognized for their fundraising efforts for the Missionary Childhood Association. Donna Moore, director of the office for the missions, thanked the schools for their efforts and announced the winners. The awards were based on per capita contributions to the missions during the 20192020 school year. The schools recognized

were: first place, St. Mary School, Brussels; second place, St. Louis School, Nokomis; third place, St. Mary School in Taylorville; fourth place, Our Lady of Lourdes School and fifth place, St. Agnes School in Springfield. Each school received a cross and a certificate for their accomplishment. Each year, schools throughout the diocese are also invited to participate in the annual Missionary Childhood Association Christmas Artwork Contest. Entries were submitted to the Diocesan Office for the Missions where local winners were chosen to be sent on to the national competition. Several other students were recognized as local winners and received recognition and awards at the Mission Mass. Charlotte Rose, Ellie Friedel, Riley Pohlman, Kate Schleeper, Alex Friedel, Blake Nolte, Abby Johnes and McKenzie Baalman from St. Mary School each received a rosary and a certificate in recognition of their achievement.

Dinner is 6 p.m. in the Brussels High School gymnasium. Dance will follow the dinner in the Brussels High School gym. The theme is “A Night of Rustic Romance.”

Locals recognized as State Scholars The Illinois Student Assistance Commission (ISAC) announced the 2021-22 Illinois State Scholars, and among that lot were a couple of local students. Those locals on the list this year are Corey Nelson and Colleen Schumann at Calhoun High School. These top-performing students are selected annually based on their ACT or SAT exams and sixth semester class rank and are recognized for their exceptional academic achievement. Illinois State Scholars rank in approximately the top 10

percent of graduates from Illinois high schools. State Scholars are usually announced in early December, however the postponement or cancellation of spring 2020 college entrance exams because of the COVID-19 pandemic delayed this year’s announcements until complete data was available. While the Illinois State Scholars recognition is a non-monetary award, recipients receive a congratulatory letter from ISAC, a Certificate of Achievement and statewide media recognition.

SMS students receive dictionaries from Jerseyville Rotary Club Third- and fourth-grade students at St. Mary School (SMS) were recently visited by two members of the Jerseyville Rotary Club. Laura Dugas and Rick Houseman presented each student with their very own dictionary. Each year, the Rotary Club makes sure that third grade students are given this wonderful resource. This year they extended their gift to include the SMS fourth graders since their school was closed last year during their dictionary distribution because of COVID. The dictionary project is one way in which the club tries to promote the importance of literacy to the youth of today.

Gliding into the future Calhoun student Shane Macauley is using a sealing iron for his glider during a Monday, April 12, S.T.E.M. class with Ann Gilman. The foam that the students are using is porous; the iron is used to seal a monokote covering over the wings to allow for smoother air flow and to make the gliders stronger. The gliders were expected to be able to fly by Wednesday, April 14.

Warriors’ valiant effort falls short in Triopia matchup April 23, the Warriors put up a good fight, but lost to Triopia in a close game, 29-22. The first quarter looked good for the Warriors, who were able to really put a lead between them and Triopia. Calhoun finished the first quarter with a solid 22-point lead. After that quarter, Triopia’s defense didn’t let up, unfortunately for the Warriors. Scorers for Calhoun included DJ Lorton, who started the game off with a 9-yard run for a touchdown. Sage White followed up with a kick for the point after. With 41 seconds left in the first quarter, White ran five yards in for another touch down and kicked for the point after. The last second of the first quarter was huge for Calhoun. White ran another six yards for another touchdown, and Brennen Grimes ran in and scored a two-point conversion. The rest of the game didn’t pan out for Calhoun. After that, the Warriors scored no further points. With the loss, Calhoun stands at 2-4.

Commissioners discuss reopening gym; courthouse elevator By CONNOR ASHLOCK Calhoun News-Herald The county commissioners met on April 19, where various items of business were discussed, including the possible reopening of the gymnasium at the Marvin Richter building. The commissioners discussed the positives and negatives of reopening the gym as the spring semester of the school year nears its close, discussing what is allowed regarding pandemic-related restrictions as well as possible courses of action to maintain a safe environment. It was noted that the summer usually means an uptick in usage by young people in the county, but since visitors are supposed to sign in before using the gym, a record of attendance can be maintained in the event the health department would have to conduct contact tracing. Measures such as blocking off the bleachers, engaging in heightened cleaning procedures, opening the facility only for certain days of the week and for certain times were all considered during the course of the discussion, but what the commissioners all agreed upon was that reopening the gym would require a somewhat greater attention to detail in order to prevent the spread of COVID-19, which includes disinfecting the area after each use. This, of course, would require more hands on deck to ensure the safety of visitors. Commissioner Kim Klaas decided at the meeting to take on the task of getting opinions from the community about the subject, as well as to determine if there would be any volunteers who would be willing to help in sanitizing and cleaning efforts so that young people might enjoy the gym during summer break. Anyone interested in helping clean and sanitize the gym, or interested in expressing their thoughts on the subject, is encouraged to contact Klaas. Also at the meeting, the board expressed an eagerness to advance in their efforts to

secure an elevator for the Marvin Richter building, thereby taking a huge leap toward the ongoing work of renovating the former school for the purposes of holding court, as well as providing additional space for various county offices. The issue, though, is that given the expensive investment of an elevator, which county officials desire to be built onto the east side of the building, grant funds are of the utmost necessity. With the installation of the elevator also comes other necessary building renovations in order to make it accessible to all members of the community. Those requiring the use of an elevator must be able to access it from the ground level, meaning that access must be provided from the parking lot in order to enter the building from the east, or back end, of the building. In light of this, a grant writer who would be able to research and write for grants is highly desired by the commissioners at this time, as grants for this type of project are difficult to come by and require quick action to increase the likelihood of acquiring them. During the time when different committees gave their reports to the commission, Chief Deputy Greg Weishaupt was able to provide a welcomed report regarding the CodeRed telephonic communication system. Weishaupt reported that the system recently adopted by the county is improving as the Calhoun Sheriff’s Office is gaining more experience in using the system. Weishaupt expressed that by the end of next week, with the exception of part-time employees, dispatchers will be trained in using the system, but he, along with another employee at the sheriff’s office, will be the primary individuals using it. Also at the meeting, the commissioners passed a motion allowing the pre-K class in Hardin to place two picnic tables on the grounds of the Marvin Richter building. The pre-K class will utilize the picnic tables, but they will also be available for the community to enjoy as well.

County engineer denies petition to vacate road By CONNOR ASHLOCK Calhoun News-Herald County Engineer Kyle Godar called a special hearing on April 19 at 3:30 p.m. to review the petition to vacate a portion of Winneberg Road approximately the size of three-tenths of a mile and replace it for travel with nearby Herter Road. The meeting was called by Godar according to the procedural requirements of calling a public hearing for this issue. Prior to a hearing, there must first be a petition filed bearing at least 10 signatures from residents of the same precinct in which the road in question is located. The petition was brought by Kim Droege bearing approximately 70 signatures, all residents of Point Precinct, in favor of the proposal. Presented in the proposal by Droege was a letter from Barbara Morrissey McGrew, a trustee of the Golden Eagle Development Company, in which it was relayed that the trustees of the company would be for the vacation if properly authorized by county authorities. There were additional letters written by precinct residents that expressed disagreement with the proposal, citing concerns of access during inclement weather. An additional letter was also read at the hearing from another resident that considered the use of Herter Road to be “unacceptable,” citing concerns of erosion and impassibility at times. Godar shared that prior to the hearing, he received six additional letters or emails, all of which expressed opposition to the proposed vacation, but several of those written oppositions were composed by individuals also in attendance at the hearing, which was located at the Marvin Richter Building in the commissioners’ meeting room. A question was raised regarding the burden of payment in the event the county would approve the vacation, to which Godar explained that the cost of improving the road to county and Illinois Department of Transportation standards would be the responsibility of the petitioner.

One of those IDOT standards includes providing for a 16-foot travel way, along with two feet of shoulder space on either side of the road. Improving Herter Road to county standards does not necessarily mean that it would be taken over by the county for maintenance. As Godar explained, the county would have to determine if it was in its best interest to take over the road, but before the county could consider that, the road would still have to be brought up to local and state standards. It was also discussed at the hearing that in instances of snowfall, Herter Road might not see a plow for one or two days, as it is not a heavily-trafficked road in comparison to other roads in the county. “After viewing the area and both roads, I tend to agree there would be more issues in traveling in inclement weather through the proposed Herter Road,” Godar said. “As far as inclement weather goes, the county highway department has over 300 miles of township roads to maintain, so higher-traffic roads get more attention.” This point, coupled with discussion of the possibility of residents who would rely on access through Herter Road being trapped in bad weather, was further strengthened by the prospect that emergency service vehicles would not always be able to access the road. Additional letters expressing opposition to the proposed measure repeated the same concerns as those present in the meeting, thus they were not read aloud by Godar. Upon hearing the concerns of all those who wished to contribute at the public hearing, Godar issued his decision regarding the petition. “I do not feel this proposal is in the best interest of the public,” Godar said. “We have several written letters of opposition and comments of opposition. I tend to agree the profile of the road is not ideal for times of inclement weather. So with that said, I will be denying this petition for vacation, and I will produce a written memorandum of that decision and file it with the county.”

Brussels parents express frustration with softball season rules By JARAD JARMON Calhoun News-Herald Parents voiced their frustration with the current restrictions surrounding the softball season – namely regarding the number of people who can attend games. Melissa and Jim Clark addressed the Brussels School Board last week about the upcoming softball season and the plan that was put out that was meant to adhere to the COVID guidelines. “They felt it was restrictive,” Brussels Superintendent Mark Martin said. Brussels Principal Pam Long was asked to gather more information and to double check state guidelines. “During our conversation, we found there had been a change within the last few days,” Martin said. “...It is very complicated and parts of the directions conflict with other parts of the directions. So, it is hard to do it right.” The major concerns for the parents at the meeting were the limit to the number of people at the games and the lack of concessions. Following the board meeting, school leaders have reached out to their attorney, the insurance provider and the health department for guidance. In Brussels, it is a little more complicated than might be the case for other

districts, because the softball team utilizes a village park ballfield in Brussels, which has no official capacity limit. State guidance allows 25 percent occupancy of the crowd capacity for a particular facility. However, those who have had both vaccination doses or who are within a certain time frame after having COVID-19 don’t count toward that total, and delineating the number of people at each event would be “unmanageable,” Martin said. “It is a lot of confusion for five ball games, which is what we have,” Martin said. “But, we are working on it. It is a work in progress, and we’ll get through it.” The current solution: School officials will mark off areas where people can bring lawn chairs and sit in “family pods,” separated at least 6 feet apart and 12 feet from the dugout. They are still waiting to determine what would qualify individuals to be part of a “family pod.” For instance, does a family pod only mean those living in a single household? “We are doing our best to try to make a good faith effort to follow the guidelines for everyone’s safety and at the same time, to make it as comfortable for parents as you can,” Martin said. “Sometimes those two objectives don’t jive well.”
