Students plant cherry tomatoes in honor of Mr. B

By CONNOR ASHLOCK Calhoun News-Herald Andrea Pohlman, an educator at Calhoun Elementary School, was one of many faculty members in the county saddened by the passing of Mark Baalman, Calhoun’s beloved “Mr. B.” But, she, along with her colleagues and students at the elementary school, have been constructively channeling their grief in the form of a beautiful tribute to the late educator, friend and father.

With Mr. B’s visitation at the school, the district decided to hold a remote learning day, but educators were encouraged to come up with an activity that would also serve to commemorate Mr. B. Pohlman came up with a learning activity that the educator and tomatolover would be proud of.

“We decided that since Mr. B was known, among many things, for

Baalman’s Produce, with one of his specialties being tomatoes, we thought the students could plant cherry tomatoes in honor of Mr. B on that day, so they could remember him all summer long as they enjoyed their healthy fruit,” Pohlman said.

So, the third, fourth and fifth graders were sent home with all the materials they needed to get started, including biodegradable pots that they could plant in the ground.

Fellow teachers collaborated with Pohlman in planning the project, aiding in fine-tuning the details of the assignment, which encouraged students to not only engage in horticulture and botany, but healthy grief as well.

Since the plants are for the kids to keep at home all summer, they could decorate the pots with memories and pictures of Mr. B, but they were also given a corresponding writing assignment.

Making a splash with their interview.

“The students were given the prompt, ‘What Mr. B means to me,’” Pohlman said. “A lot of kids wrote about how he gave them funny names.

He called one student ‘Wallyweber’ and another ‘San Francisco.’ It was amazing that among the many different kids that was one of their favorite memories.”

Older and younger students alike are going to remember their beloved health and physical education teacher, including former students who would go on to work for him at his produce stand in the summer.

It’s a common sentiment in Calhoun that Mr. B was one of the best. And just like his students grew under his mentorship, the tomatoes will grow with the changing seasons. As the summer wears on and the cherry tomatoes turn from green to red, his memory will live on strong in the hearts of his students, who, by all accounts, he cared about deeply.

Calhoun clinics now offering Johnson & Johnson vaccine

By JARAD JARMON Calhoun News-Herald Popularity and interest in getting the Moderna vaccine option has waned with many who want the vaccination having been able to access it, but local health officials have now added another option to their arsenal to combat COVID – the Johnson & Johnson vaccine, and there are hopes this particular brand will spur more to sign ups.

The single dose Johnson & Johnson vaccine jumped onto the scene earlier this year. When it arrived, its departure from the two-dose model Modern and Pfizier adopted was attractive, but it appeared it had much lower efficacy numbers than those of the other two vaccines, worrying health officials like Sandy Teichmann, administrator at the Calhoun Health Department.

The original intention was to stick with Moderna, but as more information has come out about the Johnson & Johnson shot, concerns have subsided for the most part.

Overall, the vaccine was approximately 67 percent effective in preventing moderate to severe or critical COVID-19 disease occurring at least 14 days after vaccination and 66 percent effective in preventing moderate to severe or critical disease at least 28 days after vaccination, according to the US Food and Drug Administration.

Area likely to see plethora of morels this season

By LUCAS GARDNER Calhoun News-Herald Spring is here and that should boost “morel” – morel hunting that is.

It’s that time of year again, and with the weather warming up, morel mushroom hunting is soon to be underway.

And this season is expected to be a good one, Carl Mager, a local morel hunting aficionado, said. Mager has been hunting morels for nearly 50 years.

As a former Calhoun local now living in Jersey County, he was the person to ask when it came to morel hunting.

Because of the moisture the county has had, and the predicted upcoming rain, Mager is confident this season should be successful for those morel

hunters out there.

As a comparison, last year during this time, it was on the dry side and was much colder.

As a result, finding morels was a tougher job.

This time around, though, the tri-county area has seen warm, rainy weather, spelling good things for those looking for these rare finds.

“Well there is always going to be some, but I think we are on the line for a good season.

It’s getting warm early, and if we get some rain, there will be a lot of them,” Mager said.

“When the temperatures stay in the 60s and 70s at night, that’s when they really start popping. Last year, it stayed cold and dry for such a long time they didn’t do well. So, in my opinion, this year will be

better than the last two years.”

Over the years, Mager has done quite a bit of morel hunting. The most he has ever found was approximately 15-20 pounds of hand-sized mushrooms in a day spread out over several patches of six to eight.

“I’m sure there are other people out there that have found more than that, but that is the most I have ever found in a day,” Mager said. “That is still a lot. Now, I didn’t find that much in one place but over the course of a day. There are some fellers around that find coolers full of them.”

No matter what is left in store for this spring season, Mager assured there would be a chance to find those prized fungi.

As far as what time is best to hit the ground and look for some morels, Mager stands by advice his father gave him.

“When the mayapples bloom, that is the time to find morels,” Mager said.

It is not the only time, though. Mager has found them during all parts of the mushroom season.

As an experienced morel hunter, Mager said that places he has found with the most morels were near dead elm trees. Elms can be identified by their gray bark with deep furrows. Notably they also have pointed oval leaves that have double-serrated margins.

“I’ve had my best luck around dead elm trees. It seems the best time is a year or two after the elm has died

and the bark is just starting to slide off the tree,” Mager said. ”You can find them around old ash trees and sycamore trees.

It seems like morels spawn more around sycamore trees during the later parts of the season – at least in my experience.”

The morel season typically lasts about two to three weeks.

But, that all depends on the weather, according to Mager.

The end of April and early parts of May seem to be the end of the season. When the weather tends to be warm and the moisture is high, these are optimal conditions for fungus.

The humidity from such conditions seemingly keeps the morels fresher, longer – all while allowing them to sprout and continue to grow.

Experts predict the handshake will never return

By BILL HOAGLAND As we begin to see light at the end of the pandemic tunnel, so-called experts are predicting that certain customs and practices we routinely did before the pandemic will never return.

One of those customs never to return, according to these experts, is the handshake.

Does this mean we will forever be burdened with the fist bump, a form of greeting popular in cave-dwelling days, when knuckles were literally a big deal?

I sure hope not.

You can’t tell much about a new acquaintance from a fist bump. But you can with a good, old-fashioned handshake. I don’t know about you, but I can still remember the people over the years who gave me a “dead fish” handshake, a “bone-crusher” shake or the dreaded “wet palm” shake. First impressions are important, and that first handshake was always the cornerstone for my first impression.

The right-handed handshake has actually been with us for a long time – perhaps several thousand years. Many historians for this kind of stuff think it started in the Roman Empire as a symbol of good faith and peace.

Apparently, the Romans were a bloodthirsty lot, killing each other over the slightest grievances – a road rage out of control – and since they did not have handguns in those days, they used the good old dagger.

The dagger was stowed up the left sleeve of the toga, for easy access with your right hand if you wanted to snuff someone out.

And to prove you did not “have something up your sleeve” such as a dagger, you would extend your right hand as a gesture of peace

and trust.

There are those who have spent way too much time analyzing handshakes and the personalities of the shakers. For example, it is believed that a handshake with the palm downward means that person wants to dominate you.

A palm up means you have a subservient personality. Holding on to someone’s hand too long means you are needy and putting your left hand on top of the other shaker’s right hand suggests you are a caring person.

And so on. The protocol I find most interesting is the requirement that “skin meet skin.”

Don’t put on that surgical glove before you shake; that would suggest strong distrust or a really anal personality.

However you want to interpret those handshakes, they are a necessary ingredient for our social skills and I bet they will return.

We can shake on it.

Outdoor Truths: Gary Miller

No matter cries for help, God hears it all I was taken aback the other day during a morning turkey hunt.

The rain had persisted all night and into the early morning hours. It wasn’t until about 8:30 a.m. that the sun broke through the clouds. It seemed every living thing had been waiting with anticipation for that hour.

The rain had allowed the early risers to sleep in, but the sun sounded the alarm for all to get up. The sounds that morning were too numerous to describe. Each creature began its communication without waiting its turn. It sounded like one big cacophony without having any rhyme or reason.

I didn’t notice that morning how each sound was different, but how closely each sounded like the other.

Sometimes the cadences were different, but the pitch was nearly identical. And I wondered how each listener was able to distinguish

between its kind and another kind and even how each could tell the differences of their own kind. Then I thought about God. I wonder how many folks bowed their head to pray this morning: people from Maine to Montana from New Mexico to North Carolina and from Connecticut to California. And I wonder how many in other countries did the same – all speaking to God at the same time but in different languages.

I wonder how God sorts them all out. It really is amazing how God can not only hear all of us at the same time, but he does not miss one utterance of despair, one urgent cry for help, or one uplifted plea for direction.

He is not only our God, but he is your God. He is not only our God, but also my God. Just as I don’t understand how nature works in perfect order and design, I also don’t understand how God can make perfect order

Vaccine (Continued from A1) Additionally, the vaccine was approximately 77 percent effective in preventing severe or critical COVID-19 occurring at least 14 days after vaccination and 85 percent effective in preventing severe or critical COVID-19 occurring at least 28 days after vaccination.

Now however, officials are seeing that this, in comparison to the Moderna and Pfizer vaccines that had efficacy numbers in the 90s, lacked the context of timing.

“So at the beginning, all of us were kind of like, ‘Why would anyone want to get that other than the fact that they just want to get one shot and not two,’” Teichmann said.

“Well, then it kind of came out much later that the reason for that was because when Pfizer and Moderna were tested, none of the variant viruses were out there yet. By the time, J&J came along and was tested, there were variants that probably Moderna and Pfizer would not have tested any better at that point.”

This past week, the Calhoun County Health Department was expected to get 100 doses of the vaccines. The health department currently has a Johnson & Johnson clinic scheduled for April 8. Individuals ages 18 and up are asked to sign up for an appointment.

As far as symptoms go, Teichmann said she had not heard much in the way of local accounts of side effects of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine. In the tri-county area, the vaccine is relatively new.

Similar to those of Modern and Pfizier, the most commonly reported side effects were pain at the injection site, headache, fatigue, muscle aches and nausea. Most of these side effects occurred within one to two days following vaccination, were mild to moderate in severity and lasted one to two days, according to the FDA. With the introduction of Johnson & Johnson though, Teichmann and other area officials are hoping more are inclined to get the vaccine. Teichmann suspected that was a part of the reason local interest in the Moderna vaccine has taken a hit.

“I think people have been waiting for that,” Teichmann said. “They want the one and done shot… We have had some calls.

We have had some interest.”

It is suspected Moderna’s side effects have also deterred people from getting the shot – specifically the second one.

“People are scared of that second (dose),” Teichmann said. “The second Moderna has a bad rep. Many, many people have been ill enough that they have had to miss work after getting the second shot… Is it still worth it? Yeah, but if people hear that, they get scared.”

Local officials have reported that they once had no problem filling out appointments for the vaccine.

“Those were super joyful days for me – when people were just pouring in to get it,” Teichmann said. “Now, we are having to beat the drums.”

A gap has formed in the amount of vaccines they have ready and the people interested in getting them. The disparity of

out of every single prayer that goes up.

But I believe it by faith.

T h e Bible declares how a sparrow doesn’t fall to the ground without him noticing. When I remember that, I have no problem knowing that even though millions of prayers are knocking on the doors of heaven, God will distinguish each of us as his special and unique child and will be equally excited to hear from us and to give us his very best.

interest then as compared to now was exemplified with Thursday’s numbers. Calhoun health officials administered 30 first doses and 200 second doses.

“Our first dosers are dwindling down,” the health administrator said.

The hope is that this deficit comes down to preference of vaccine, instead of lack of interest in getting any COVID vaccine altogether.

“It is much slower trying to fill up the slots for Moderna now, but Johnson & Johnson fills up quickly,” Teichmann said.

There is still interest in the vaccine in general, but groups of people need to be interested in getting the shot. Teichmann explained each vial of the vaccine has 10 doses, so you have to have a commitment of 10 people to open up a vial, because they never want to waste a dose. This is why they have let spots accumulate.

Along with news about the Johnson & Johnson vaccine, national officials have lowered the age to get the vaccine.

“Pfizer is now approved for 16 and above, and so we are going to be offering that also,” Teichmann said. “I don’t know how many takers we will have on that.”

Anecdotally, the feelings on families’ younger members receiving the vaccine have been mixed among families in the area, Teichmann said.

In general, Tiechmann said she was hopeful that excitement for the vaccine sees a resurgence as age groups open up and different vaccines become available.

“I understand. We want you to be committed to do it,” she said. “We don’t want you to do it unless you are sure you want to, but it is a little bit disappointing. I wish we had more people now coming in.”

As variants make their way through the country, it is especially important to reach as many people as possible.

“There are a lot of people out there who have not been vaccinated, so yeah it makes me nervous,” Teichmann said.

A mentality has formed that the battle was won, Teichmann said.

“Commercials now are very much geared toward, ‘Hey, now that you can get out and get about,’” Teichmann said. “I mean every prospect is going that direction now. There is much more travel being promoted.”

The fight is not over yet, if not evident by the continuing, although small, number of COVID cases that keep cropping up. In the last COVID update, reported on March 26, there were 16 active cases. According to this update, 515 COVID cases have popped up in the county over the pandemic’s lifespan; 499 have recovered and five have died.

“I think they are getting people in a mindset that is maybe a tiny bit ahead of where we are in reality and that concerns me a little bit,” Teichmann said. “Believe me. I am as excited as anyone else to go back to life as normal, but it is not going to do us if we jump ahead too quickly, because then we are going to get pushed way back.”

In total, 2,495 vaccinations have been administered, with 1,133 in the county being fully vaccinated in Calhoun County, representing 23.59 percent of the county.

Area families enjoy return of Hamburg Easter Egg Hunt

Jarad Jarmon/Calhoun News-Herald

Lauren Pohlman, 5, of Hardin already has her eyes set on the next target as she picks up this Easter egg. Lauren was one of dozens of children combing the yard of Debbie and Gary Halls’ property Saturday, ahead of the springtime holiday. The choice to have the event here was made for safety and popularity. Hamburg had hosted an egg hunt almost every year for 35 years, but it was on a one-year hiatus because of COVID-19.

Three-year-old Mathew Bruce of Hardin was all smiles carrying his Easter egg bounty. There were 798 eggs scattered in various places on Debbie and Gary Halls’ property, filled with all the candy goodness a kid could hope for.

25 years ago April 10, 1996 A special treat is in store for those who attend the April 16 meeting of the Calhoun County Historical Society to be held at the Barefoot Restaurant in Hardin.

Emerson Retzer, president of the society, reports that just recently, Ron Clark, the Department of Illinois Commander of the Sons of Union Veterans, requested the opportunity to attend the meeting which is to be devoted to Calhoun County in the Civil War. Attending with Clark will be Dave Preston, Department Camp Organizer for the southern half of the state. Commander Clark will take just a few moments during the meeting to tell us about the Sons and how to apply for membership for those who may be interested.

The presentation entitled “Calhoun County Boys in the Civil War” will be made by Charles E. Murphy, Breveted Commander of the Civil War Garrison. Murphy researches and writes the Civil War history of veterans who fought in the Great War of the Rebellion.

In fact, he just finished the history of his great grandfatherin-law, Henry Hagen, who was a lifelong resident of Calhoun County.

During his presentation, Murphy will provide an overview of the Illinois regiments that joined Lincoln’s army from 1861-1865 and where those in closest proximity to Calhoun County were organized. In addition to highlighting where in the county Calhoun soldiers came from, some attention will be devoted to the regiments that they joined.

Focus will be on the regiments that boasted of having the largest number of Calhoun boys in their ranks.

By tracing the footsteps of those regiments he will concentrate on the major battles that our country ancestors took part in and how they contributed to the overall war effort.

The presentation will also advise people how to find out more information about Civil War veterans and at the close of the program, Murphy will present President Retzer with an updated listing of Calhoun boys who served in the Union Army.

50 years ago April 8, 1971 The Calhoun High School Band established another record this past Saturday at the State Solo and Ensemble Contest at Jacksonville, Illinois.

75 years ago April 4, 1946 Miss Florence Buchanan, state health department nurse, was in Calhoun County Monday and Tuesday of this week, supervising the tuberculin testing of high school students of the county.

About 150 high school students of Brussels and Kampsville Community High Schools were given the Patch test for tuberculosis.

On Friday, these tests will be read by Drs. Peisker and Miller, local physicians. The testing is provided for by funds raised each year by the Christmas Seals sales, promoted by the Calhoun County Tuberculosis Association. Students showing positive reaction to the Patch tests will be provided with an x-ray at an Alton hospital, also out of the funds of the Christmas Seals sale.

Students at the Hardin school were not tested Monday, but will be given the test April 11, with readings at a later date.

In the afternoon of April 11, Miss Buchanan will also give diphtheria and smallpox shots to the Hardin community. Anyone from the age of six months up in the Hardin community is invited to take the diphtheria and smallpox immunizations.

The following week plans are being completed by the nurse to give these immuniza-

100 years ago April 7, 1921 To the Hardin High School: To our teacherOne and all we wish to thank you, For you’ve been so kind and true, Always helping those who’d ask you, Ow, we hate to leave you, too.

But the outside world is calling, To our work we now must go, To the work that we can do.

To the SeniorsSeniors listen, one and all, Now we leave the assembly hall, Here we’ve met in joy and pain, Oh, the days they seem so short That we’ve been here, Oh, so long, Perhaps all- shall meet again.

Now to the world we all must go, Move along with life’s ebb and flow, To the byways of the world Let our knowledge then be hurled; To some good and honest toil, We will work our way to fame, And build for Hardin school a name, That will last through endless ages, On the record history pages, That is written down by sages, As they watch us do our work, Knowing that we never shirk; But to climb to higher standards, As we march along our way, Trusting all will meet some day.

To the JuniorsYou are climbing up the ladder One more step, you’ll be through; But dear friends we have to leave you Which we Seniors hate to do.

But alas, the day is coming, When you’ll follow in our steps, Bidding farewell to the “Freshies,” And the “Juniors” on the steps.

Where you trod in former years, We shall meet again some day, As we travel life’s journey O’er the mountain or prairie way.

Or perchance the giant seas, Let us then go work together, Like the little birds and bees.

To the FreshmenJust a little more hard work, Now do not go and shirk; For we think you ought to know That as you onward go, That the mountains lie beyond, So we urge you to carry on.

Sure we know you haveexclaimed, That the foothills you’ve attained, But the mountains, they are high, And your aim should be the sky.

You must work and climb together, If you want to reach the top, You must not, your thoughts dissever, Work to win, now do not stop.

“In everything I did, I showed you that by this kind of hard work we must help the weak, remembering the words the Lord Jesus himself said: ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’ ” Acts 20:35 NIV

H

appiness is one of those things which we are more likely to have if we focus on helping others find theirs.

Consider this story which was recently sent to me by a family member: A professor gave a balloon to every student, who had to inflate it, write their name on it, and throw it in the hallway. The professor then mixed all the balloons. The students were given 5 minutes to find their own balloon. Despite a hectic search, no one found their balloon. At that point, the professor told the students to take the first balloon that they found and hand it to the person whose name was written on it. Within 5 minutes everyone had their own balloon. The professor then said to the students: “These balloons are like happiness. We will

never find it if everyone is looking for their own. But if we care about other people’s we’ll find ours too.”

This inspiring story, whether it happened or not, contains a profound truth and is supported by research which shows that people increase their happiness more when they are given money and told to give it away or otherwise do something with the money which will help others than if they spend it on themselves. We are social creatures, built for sharing our lives and our possessions with others.

WHAT'S GOING ON BETWEEN THE RIVERS Q Point News

by Carol Sue Carnes Q 618-883-2333

What a beautiful Easter weekend! God has risen; He has risen indeed!

After what COVID-19 wrought last year, this was certainly a welcome sight to have sunshine, warm temperatures, Easter dinners, families all able to enjoy time together and the children especially enjoying egg hunts.

I spent Friday to Monday in Wright City, Mo., as a guest of my daughter and son-in-law, Shelly and Dennis Scherer. Friday night, we enjoyed a benefit fish fry at the diner in town. On Saturday, their dinner guests were Brittney, Daniel and Sam Holdinghausen of Festus, and Noah and Addy Keppler of Wentzville.

After Ashley finished her 12-hour shift at St. Joseph’s Health Center in St. Charles, she enjoyed a late dinner with us. Then on Sunday morning, we attended church, and afterward, their guests were Trevor and Cyndi Axford, Madison and McKenzie of Chesterfield and John, Julie and Caleb Carnes of Edwardsville, as well as Noah and Addy Keppler and Ashley after her shift.

Egg hunts, badminton games and visiting outdoors until almost dark. It was also the birthday of my granddaughter, Brittney, and yours truly, so that was also celebrated with a beautifully decorated birthday cake. Such a wonderful weekend being with my family. I was very grateful for all of them, the wonderful gifts and to the Scherers for their hospitality!

George and Yvonne Baecht, along with Keith and Becky Baecht, Matthew and Samuel of Jerseyville, attended church Sunday morning at St. Matthew’s. Afterward, they all enjoyed a delicious dinner at the Baecht home in Golden Eagle. In the afternoon, Connie Baecht and son of Independence, Mo., also visited with

them. Earlier in the day, Connie and son enjoyed a family dinner at the home of her parents, Frank and Anita Baecht.

Weekend guests of Bob and Bonnie Held were Rae and Jean Payne of Bloomington.

On Friday evening, they were joined by Marie Held. A steak dinner, along with homemade ice cream, was enjoyed by all to honor their daughter, Jean, who had just retired as president of the Illinois Fertilizer and Chemical Association.

Congratulations, Jean, on your great achievement!

On Saturday, Barb Ward of Taylorville arrived at the home of her mother, Marie Held, to spend Easter weekend with her. So nice to have family to spend the holidays with.

John and Kelly Heffington, Brantley and Gracyn and Brady Ellis, along with Karla Ellis, Kayden and Jaize and George and Jean Lesseg all attended church at Zion Lutheran Church in Batchtown, followed by an egg hunt.

Then, they all enjoyed dining at the Wittmond Hotel in Brussels. Sounds like they had a wonderful day together.

Ben and Jill Rose and daughters, Dave and Peggy Weiner, Bryan, Kyle and Natalie Weiner and sons all enjoyed spending Sunday with Don and Nancy Moennig at their farm house in Brussels. Earlier Ben, Jill and girls enjoyed time with the Rose family at the home of Denny and Carol and Kyle, and Natalie and boys spent time with grandparents Leonard and Joyce Fortschneider. Lots of great food, egg hunts and visiting was had over the weekend.

Charles and Judy Burch entertained on Easter Sunday at their home at Sunset Farm. Present for the day were Charles “Chipper” and Gwen Burch and girls of Kampsville and Vince and Caroline Stegman and family of St. Louis.

Since we are in the first full week of April, I would like to share some interesting facts about April’s birthstone, the diamond. As everyone knows, the diamond is a onetough gem. In fact, it’s the hardest gemstone and is made of just one element, carbon.

Its structure makes it 58 times harder than anything in nature. A diamond can only be cut by another diamond.

The diamond comes in several different colors including; brown, yellow, pink, red, blue and green.

While the diamond is best known for engagement/wedding rings, it is becoming more popular for everyday wear and special occasions.

What a beautiful and gorgeous Easter weekend. I don’t think anybody can complain about the weather we had! The trees are starting to bloom out so pretty and Kampsville was definitely a busy place with lots going on.

The St. John’s annual Easter egg hunt was a huge success.

Lots of eggs, lots of prizes and lots of kids. Pastor Steve got it started by sharing the message of Easter. Pastor Steve is amazing and we truly are blessed to have him. Thank you to all of the individuals and businesses who donated and who helped out to make this event successful. Miss Genevia Bailey drew out for the grand prize bunny, and Mackenzie Blumenberg won.

The Lite Up Kampsville committee kicked off the Easter festivities in Kampsville on Good Friday with hidden Easter Eggs around town. Kids could find the eggs and then turn them in to Marcia Agney at the Calhoun Country Christmas store for a prize. Marcia also gave away a cute little Easter basket for anyone that entered into the drawing that Hinley Hayn won.

The Kampsville American Legion Post 1086 had a fish fry on good Friday with a wonderful turn out. They served over 125 people.

Thursday night, Dick’s Riverside Grill also had a pretty packed crowd in Kampsville with everyone enjoying extreme bingo.

Saturday evening at Saint John’s church, Huey Hayn, son of Britney and Stephen Hayn, and the Waters twins, Weston and Daisy, son and daughter of Luke and Amanda Waters, were baptized. Blessings to them all.

There were a lot of April Fool’s birthdays: Lindsey Taul, Aaron Tucker and Marcella Becker, all celebrated their birthdays on April 1.

Dennis and Robin Johnson’s Grandson Ryland turned 7 on April 4. Ryland was also our first kid in Kampsville to find an egg on Good Friday.

My family as well as other friends continue our tradition of everyone making a bunny cake in honor of my mom.

This year we had several participants.

My grandsons, Dexter and Schaeffer, as well as my daughter, Stephani, and sonin-law, Ryan, came down on Saturday from Havana to bring the boys to the egg hunt. On Easter Sunday, I had the house full with all of my family. We enjoyed eating way too much, hunting eggs, blowing bubbles and the grandkids just playing together. Nanny and Papa’s

house is where cousins come to become best friends.

Terry and Cathy Taul had their family over to celebrate Easter on Saturday, April 3.

I am so happy to announce that Mark Becker is home from the hospital and recovering nicely. Mark and Debbie hosted Easter for all of their family on Sunday. They also enjoyed an Easter egg hunt. We are so happy he is home, and the Pavilion plans to reopen April 15.

Don’t forget Band Trivia April 24 at Straight Home. Get your team together.

I am sad to report that Martha Narup passed away on April 1. Martha was a sweetheart – always smiling, and I enjoyed visiting with her on the phone or if I saw her out.

She lived a wonderful 91 years and was as spunky as ever.

When I first started writing

for the Calhoun News-Herald, she called to tell me how wonderful that was and how much she enjoyed it. She was the correspondent for many years writing the news for Summit Grove. She leaves behind a wonderful family and many lives that she has influenced.

Please keep her family in your prayers as they say goodbye.

Please add Nina Wilson to your prayer list. Nina fell this past week and is in the hospital in St. Louis.

Please continue prayers for Chasity Wickenhauser, Mary Jo Kress, Mathias Baker, Jim Hill, Kurt Roth, Joe Gress, Amy Roth, Bill Schumann, Raymond Sievers, Linda Herkert, Mark Bowers, Darren Kress, Tonya Baker, Eileen Gardner, Joann Newman, Jerry Crader, Cathy Taul and Kathryn Chapman.
