Local enforcement of stayat-home order addressed

By JARAD JARMON Calhoun News-Herald As Republican state representatives and Gov. JB Pritzker argue the constitutionality of the most recent stay-at-home order, the question has been raised: how should law enforcement proceed?

The argument has been made, most notably by downstate representative Darren Bailey from Xenia, that the governor does not have the authority to issue successive disaster proclamations.

In light of this argument, several law enforcement agencies have confirmed they will not be enforcing the order.

And now our local state’s attorney has officially weighed-in on the order and how the rules contained within it will be enforced, if at all.

In a May 12 letter to Calhoun Sheriff Bill Heffington, Calhoun State’s Attorney Richard Ringhausen stated his opinion regarding Gov. JB Pritzker’s executive orders.

In the letter, it was argued the orders are unconstitutional as they go beyond the 30 days the governor is said to be able to exercise emergency powers.

³7KHUH LV D VHULRXV TXHVWLRQ DV WR WKH FRQVWLWXWLRQDOLW\ RI FRQWLQXHG HQIRUFHPHQW RI WKHVH RUGHUV ´

Richard Ringhausen Calhoun County State’s Attorney “There is a serious question as to the constitutionality of continued enforcement of these orders. Abrogating the basic rights of the citizenry to assemble; to worship; to own property must be done in the least restrictive manner possible. In that there are no known or reported active cases of the disease in Calhoun County, it is my opinion that the Executive Orders are unconstitutional as applied,� Ringhausen wrote.

He went on further to say the country has faced pandemics in the past all while keeping society open. “It can be argued that the executive orders do not adequately balance the protection of life with the protection of liberty,� Ringhausen stated. “The

serious consequences involved in these decisions make them painfully difficult.

But a balancing of life and liberty is a function of leadership. “The United States has experienced four different pandemics over the past 100 years, involving hundred of thousands of deaths. Yet we have coped with those tragedies while at the same time maintaining open society.�

Absent constitutional or statutory authority, enforcement of the executive orders by the sheriff’s department opens Calhoun County up to civil liability, according to the letter. “Please note that this legal opinion could change, in the event that the General Assembly of the State of

Illinois enacts different enabling legislation, or if the Illinois Courts rule to the contrary,� Ringhausen stated in the letter. “Likewise, a change in the circumstances, such as increase in active cases, can change how the public is to be protected. Enforcement decisions would, in such an instance, be made in conjunction with the local health department.�

Legal action has not had to be taken from either office as of May 14, and they will always have the right to address any disregard for the safety of the community.

How life will return to normal, and what that ‘normal’ shall be, is up to the citizens, the letter read.

Locals were warned, though, that reopening can expose them to a lawsuit. “There is a civil legal risk of lawsuit to any business reopening, should some customer contract the disease at their establishment,� the letter reads.

Businesses that decide to reopen should seek legal advice from their own attorneys, and check with their liability (See, STAY-AT-HOME, A2)

Commissioners OK funds for ambulance service

By CONNOR ASHLOCK Calhoun News-Herald

T

he Calhoun Commissioners held their biweekly meeting May 18, continuing ongoing discussion about grants and the ambulance service.

Wanda Blackwell and Tony Franke were present via teleconference call when the motion was made and carried for $4,907 to be allocated to the volunteer ambulance service.

The funds were a one-time contribution to the organization from the public safety tax fund. The money was granted in order to keep the service operable at this time, as necessary expenses keep mounting when few economic resources exist.

Blackwell and Franke were present at the last meeting, where they made their initial address to the commissioners concerning the necessary maintenance of up-to-code supplies, including items from narcan to cot batteries.

The three ambulances that operate in the north, central and southern sectors of the county are inspected by the Illinois Department of Public Health and cannot operate if they don’t meet the standards of the agency. Without the local service, Calhoun residents would have to rely on services from the surrounding counties.

The revolving loan fund grant was also touched on in the meeting. Calhoun County Engineer Kyle Godar is currently working with the Village of Hardin on utilizing the

fund for community needs, identifying the Poor Farm Hollow Road as a project.

The fund must be used toward bettering infrastructure that poses an immediate threat to health and welfare safety. Since Poor Farm Hollow serves as the access road to Calhoun Elementary, Godar expressed interest in targeting that area for improvement, providing safer access to the school. Godar received permission to pursue the project.

Godar was also involved in the conversation regarding the Rebuild Illinois Fast Track Public Infrastructure program, suggesting that the program could be utilized by the county to install an elevator in the Richter Administration Building, granting access to the second floor.

Godar and several commissioners sat in on a webinar May 19 to see about applying for grant funds to pursue the project and if the county would be eligible.

The downstate small business stabilization grant was also brought up at the meeting.

A resolution was passed stating that the county will formally participate in the program, as the first public hearing was held concerning the grant application of Straight Home Bar and Grill last week. The commissioners also passed a participation agreement concerning Straight Home, agreeing to administer funds according to the grant.

There was no talk about the resolution drafted by State’s Attorney Rick Ringhausen to Gov. JB Pritzker and other government leaders encouraging a more regional approach to opening the economy.

Local roaster keeps frontlines, front porches fueled

By MEAGAN MCGLASSON Calhoun News-Herald In the best of times, we’re a nation of coffee drinkers.

During times like these, however many of us turn into coffee guzzlers.

And while brands like Folger’s make feeding our habit easy, local coffee roaster “Bunkhouse Joe� has stepped up to ensure that coffee drinkers don’t have to sacrifice the quality of their cuppa during the coronavirus crisis.

It’s important to Johnson, who is

eager to share how important his faith is to his business model, that his customers stay both stocked and safe during the pandemic. “I consider the CEO of my company the man above,� he said. “The whole thing started with a prayer.�

Prior to the pandemic, Bunkhouse Joe, also known as Steve Johnson, had an effective business model. Green coffee beans were imported from smallerscale growers in select regions from (See, ROASTER, A3)

By CONNOR ASHLOCK Calhoun News-Herald The COVID-19 virus and steps taken to combat it have affected virtually every part of our lives, including our food supply chain.

Though the agriculture industry is in itself essential, the current global crisis has created challenges for the markets that ag producers rely on to maintain their operations, and this is apparent in Calhoun County as well.

Greg Dolbeare, the general manager of the Jersey County Grain Company, weighed in on the current issues facing farmers, both in Calhoun and abroad. Dolbeare has been engaged with the agriculture industry in various capacities for years. Farm bred, he paid his way through college with a hog operation and has worked with the grain industry for many years. “The coronavirus has had a dampening effect on the markets due to businesses closing and has backed up our food supply chain,�

Dolbeare said. “As I understand it, about 20 percent of our ethanol production has shut down, which translates to a lot of corn not being used or bought since ethanol counts for one-third of our corn usage.�

Dolbeare noted that even though corn prices have been low since February, the COVID-19 crisis has elongated the downturn. “We sell our product on the river, so as the exports go, that affects us,� he said. “We were around $3.70 a bushel on corn earlier in the year. But right now, we’re around $3.10 for corn, which is a pretty dramatic shift. Dropping about 60 cents, that percentage roughly equates to 20-25 percent.�

Tow boats are still hauling away grain, but there aren’t a lot of big buyers showing up on the market yet.

OPINION

Hardin, Illinois

Let's look at Second Amendment case Stay-at-home

By BILL HOAGLAND Over the past year, I have written two columns in this publication specifically about the case known as “New York State Rifle and Pistol Association vs. City of New York (NYSRPA).

The case has been important to gun owners in particular because it represented the first time in ten years that the US Supreme Court agreed to hear a case arising under the Second Amendment of the US Constitution.

The main issue in the case was whether our Second Amendment rights to “keep and bear arms” includes the constitutional right to carry a handgun beyond the confines of our homes. Until now, the US Supreme Court has ruled only that you have a constitutional right to keep a handgun in your home. Period. If you have a legal right to carry a handgun beyond your home, it is because of legislation in your own state and not because the US Supreme Court has said so.

During the nearly two years that the NYSRPA case was pending in the Supreme Court, it got more controversial as

time went on. In July, 2019, for example, The City of New York and the State of New York enacted legislation in an attempt to render the major issues in the case as moot.

Then, in August, five US Senators, in an unprecedented move, filed an amicus brief with the Court, threatening the Court with realignment or other Congressional changes if they preceded to rule on the case and find that Second Amendment rights extend beyond your home.

On April 27, 2020, a majority of the Court finally ruled that NYSRPA was indeed “moot”—essentially ducking the issue. While Justice Kavanaugh in a concurring opinion agreed with the majority that this particular case was “moot”, he emphasized how important it is that the Court address the issue soon as to whether Second Amendment rights extend beyond your home.

And guess what? Since the April 27 decision and perhaps because of Justice Kavanaugh’s insistence, the Court is now reconsidering whether to hear five cases from lower

courts that involve the specific issue of whether Second Amendment rights extend beyond your home.

I predict that a writ of certioriari will be issued for one or more of these cases and that we will get a decision sooner rather than later. (Actually, if the Court agrees this summer to hear one or more of these cases, we can expect a final decision on the underlying issue in 2021.)

So if you own a handgun and you are reading this, wondering why this legal mumblejumble should matter to you, a decision on the ultimate issue in this case could determine whether you will continue to have a statutory right in Illinois to have a conceal and carry permit or, for that matter, whether you can even take your handgun outside your home for tar-

get practice or whatever.

If the majority of the US Supreme Court rules that your Second Amendment rights regarding handguns do not extend beyond your home, you can bet that your conceal and carry permit, if you have one, will eventually be taken away in Illinois along with some additional restrictions as to handguns.

Ag industry (Continued from A1) The situation with the grain market isn’t the only facet of the industry that Dolbeare is worried about though, as the livestock industry is also in a very tight position right now.

“Cattle and other livestock aren’t being moved right now.

They still have to get fed though, so there’s going to be fat deposition on them,” Dolbeare explained.

But the cattle business is just one element of the livestock sector feeling the pressure of the crisis.

“These packing plants are closed down right now, so there’s no place a farmer can sell his livestock to. If the packing plants shut down, you can’t service the market and that’s affecting more than just cattle. It’s affecting chicken growers and pork producers as well. We can’t handle all of the hogs we have now because many of them are produced for export,” Dolbeare said.

Although there is a very real fear of packing plant workers contracting the virus, which is what’s keeping the plants closed, farmers throughout the country might have to start looking at euthanizing their livestock and poultry. Some already have.

“The livestock market can back up in a hurry. Ultimately, if some animals had to be euthanized, then that will be a problem, but what will also happen is producers won’t go back into producing for a while,” Dolbeare said.

“Feedlots will sit empty until the demand returns, continuing the disruption in the flow.

It’s really easy to get into fearmongering with all of this, but the bottom line is producers won’t produce if there’s no buyers.”

Despite all these issues regarding the grain and livestock markets, Dolbeare believes that after state and federal mandates have been lifted, we should expect to see the market make an upturn within a relatively short span of time.

“Now of course when you’re dealing with the future, you can’t definitively say this or that, but I think we’ll start making a comeback once COVID-19 goes away. But, as silly is this will sound, it depends on the weather,” Dolbeare said. “A dry weather scare could make the market go up, but an ideal weather scare can keep the market down. “Everything going on with our food right now revolves around the supply chain being temporarily disrupted throughout various sectors of the industry, so our situation now is telling us that this is likely short-term, but it’s still too early to know for certain.”

Dolbeare believes that Illinois government should consider a regional approach to reopening the state in order to stimulate the ag economy.

“We need to try and safely open some businesses.

Percentage-wise, we compare far less than Chicago,” he said.

“I’m just hopeful that new markets will come back as things can start opening up again.”

Dolbeare has been seeing some interest in the market for the past couple of weeks that keeps his hopes up for a market upturn when the economy starts opening back up on a large scale.

“There has been some interest, but what that tells me is that the market is saying, ‘We don’t want it now, we want it later,’ and that’s a good indicator that the demand will be there,” Dolbeare noted.

But, there is more to Calhoun County than the livestock and grain markets.

The county is primarily known throughout the country for its apple and peach dynasties, as well as for its specialty farmers. Hayden and Taylor Sievers, proprietors of Siever’s Blumen Farm in Brussels, are among those specialty growers who have been grappling with the fallout of COVID-19.

“My husband and I started our small cut flower operation last year,” Taylor Sievers said.

As a specialty crop farmer, Sievers is concerned about how COVID is affecting her market.

“Flowers are a luxury item.

In this period of panic, people aren’t going to buy luxury items like they normally would. What makes it harder is that we’re still just starting out as a business, this being our second season in operation,” Sievers explained.

The flower market is affecting growers all around the world as markets dry up, especially in places like the Netherlands where flowers comprise a considerable portion of the agriculture and tourism industry.

“I’m on a Facebook group for florists and cut flower farmers, and there’s a general concern about what pricing will look like when this is all over with,” Sievers said. “A lot of florists have experienced order cancelations because weddings and other events are being canceled this spring and summer.”

Sievers has also been connecting with local growers in the tri-county area, explaining that she has friends who grow fruits, vegetables and flowers that are also expressing concerns for the market as COVID-19 wears on.

Last year, Sievers participated in a local farmer’s market to introduce her business

to the general public and started up a Facebook page to promote the family business. This year, she was hoping to break into the wholesale market.

“My focus this year was to sell more to florists, but I’m not calling or driving to shops like I had planned to because there’s no demand. I’m supposed to take my flowers to a wholesaler this year so they could see samples, but I don’t even know if I’ll get to talk to them.”

Sievers admits that when mandates started coming down from the state and federal governments, she wasn’t concerned about it going into summertime.

“Originally, I wasn’t concerned about summertime,” Sievers said, “But now, it seems like we might be shut down longer. I’m still moving forward, though. I’ve already bought everything and worked the ground, and there’s local people in the area that have been calling about our flowers.

“I thought that maybe toward the end of summer I may get involved in a farmer’s market, but I don’t know at this point. I hope they continue, because farmers rely on those markets to sell their produce.”

People have been calling in orders to Sievers, who is offering no-contact porch deliveries.

“I ask for specific instructions, wipe down the vase before I get in the car, sanitize my hands and wipe down the vase as I place it where I was instructed to,” Sievers said.

Sievers hopes that things can get back to normal sooner rather than later, as all workers and producers in the ag industry hope for. She has a dream to keep building on and times like these can really test the faith and endurance of all types of farmers.

“It makes us appreciate what we have. I think it’s really tough for people who are younger having not experienced things like this,” Greg Dolbeare said. “When I was growing up, my dad would bring up stories from the Depression. I remember the 1980’s when the markets dried up and prices got cheap, forcing many farmers to give up farming.

“We’ve had challenges before and we’ll have them in the future. The markets are going to open back up again, we just have to wait a little longer.”

It’s been said before that you can destroy our cities and we’ll rebuild them in days, but if you destroy the farms, so goes the whole nation.

We encounter the benefits of agriculture every day in countless ways, from the fiber

The sheriff’s department should assist those businesses, when requested, to remove any person who might refuse to comply with those internal rules. Any person refusing to leave a business owner’s establishment could be charged with criminal trespass, the same as in times of normalcy.

An issue of licensing could also arise.

Homeowners and organizations interested in hosting gatherings could also be exposing themselves to legal liability.

This liability is civil, not criminal. Whether any venue decides to allow gatherings within its confines is within its judgment. Any such organiza-

tion is likewise advised to seek legal advice prior to organizing events.

Any business that is licensed by the State of Illinois remains subject to the requirements of their licensing agencies. Should the state revoke or suspend any license, law enforcement should be prepared to enforce that revocation or suspension, in accordance with existing law.

Likewise, in the event that the Illinois Department of Public Health or its designated local representative issues a close order pursuant to existing law directed at any business, police should assist in its initial enforcement. In such a situation, a business owner’s constitutional rights are protected in that any business so closed would have the right to a court review within 48 hours.

“Protection of both life and liberty will remain our guiding principles,” Ringhausen stated in the letter.

Three from Hardin move forward with downstate grant

By JARAD JARMON Calhoun News-Herald

Participation in the Downstate Small Business Stabilization Program from business owners in Calhoun appears to be small, relatively speaking, but local officials stress this is not a representation of the struggles facing business locally.

Hardin City Council members will be voting Wednesday in a special meeting to potentially OK submitted applications from three businesses in the village for the Downstate Stabilization grant: Calhoun Auto, Calhoun Crunch and the Illinois Riverdock Restaurant. Each application must be approved individually and must be facilitated at a local level.

These applications join several others across the county, but the number does not come close to representing the business in the county affected by the COVID19 related stay-at-home orders. Despite the number of those who have applied, though, there are plenty more business owners that chose not to participate, but who would be considered worthy candidates for stimulus money.

“It is not because of lack of need,” Karen Hanneken said.

Hanneken, who was tasked with facilitating the applications for the stabilization

program for the county and the villages of Hardin and Batchtown, said the decision to not apply for the grant by some of these owners came down to personal reasons. Some did not feel comfortable with the information being asked — namely bank statements. Others did not meet the many prerequisites required to qualify.

The rationale for these business owners expanded beyond this though. One, who had received money from other grant programs, felt blessed with the money the owner had received and chose to not be involved simply to leave a better opportunity for others to get stimulus money.

In any case, it was largely for individual reasons.

So far, the process to get these applications to the state has been a sprint for many communities. The state grant is on a first come, first serve basis until the finite amount of funds run out, causing many communities across the state to scramble to get a piece of some of the proverbial pie. Hanneken said the hope is that these grants will go out sometime late this week, or earlier next week.

No matter the timeline for these applications, Hanneken encouraged business owners that are interested in the grant to contact her at 618-576-9785 or khanneken1@frontier.com.

(Continued from A2) around the world, then wood-roasted over a fire at the Bunkhouse overlooking Calhoun County. Roasted beans and the products made with them were then delivered to retailers all across the region, including retailers in Jersey, Greene and Calhoun counties.

As new rules and regulations popped up in the wake of the coronavirus however, that model was disrupted as businesses were forced to shutter. Suddenly, the product had nowhere to go. That’s when Johnson started posting “zip code blitzes,” groups of roughly five to ten zip codes that would be eligible to receive deliveries in a given week, to the Bunkhouse Joe Facebook page. It was immediately a major hit.

“Since COVID kicked in and closed most of our stores, we’ve been doing home deliveries to most of our customers, which has expanded to new customers,” Johnson explained. “It’s been very busy, to say the least.”

So busy, in fact, that Bunkhouse Joe is averaging 50 deliveries a day (with a personal best of 75) to five counties including Greene, Jersey, Calhoun, Madison and Macoupin counties since the service started in late March. Even with that wide range, Johnson says, there’s a consistent demand for more deliveries to more areas.

“We’ve seen an increase because of the popularity of social media due to the pandemic,” Johnson explained. “People are sharing the good stuff, and they find that Bunkhouse delivery direct to their porch is a good thing.”

That sizable swell in customer base for Johnson has also led to an increase in tips. Instead of lining his pockets however, Johnson had big plans for what to do with the excess cashflow. “[Our] customers have been generously tipping. So, those tips have been forwarded to provide Bunkhouse Joe to the frontline,” Johnson said. “And we have moved a lot of product to the frontline— to nurses and hospitals in the Madison County area and Jerseyville, and we’re hopeful to be able to continue doing that.”

In addition to being wildly busy, according to Johnson, a tremendous amount of energy is going into keeping the product and delivery process as safe and sterile as possi-

plan is submitted to the Illinois Emergency Management Agency and FEMA. “This plan describes how the county and the participating jurisdictions have been impacted by severe weather and other natural hazards and identifies specific mitigation actions that can be taken to reduce damages to life and health, infrastructure, and property before events occur,” Breden said.

The Calhoun County Natural Hazards Mitigation Planning Committee prepared this draft plan with technical assistance from state and federal agencies as well as a consultant specializing in emergency management planning. The committee is comprised of representatives from various County departments in addition to Batchtown and Brussels, Hamburg, Hardin, Kampsville, the Center for American Archeology and the North Calhoun Fire Protection District. The committee began meeting last fall to prepare this update. Federal law requires that these Hazard Mitigation Plans be updated every five years.

ble. In fact, he says Bunkhouse Joe has been “spearheading safety protocol” and social distancing compliant delivery methods.

“We call them front porch drops, and it’s a very safe way for people to receive their Bunkhouse Joe coffee and Icy Joe,” Johnson said. “People place their orders, and we ask that they leave a cooler outside on their front porch, in addition to keeping their door closed while delivery is in progress. We drop the goods and have no contact with these people. Everything is prepaid or they leave a check in a ziplock baggie for me to pick up.”

In addition to social distancing, all deliveries are made exclusively by Johnson, wearing a mask and gloves. From the time the beans arrive at the Bunkhouse, he and his wife, Barb, are the only people in contact with the product at any given step in the process. Whether it be letting bean deliveries set for several days, roasting them in 600 degree temperatures, boiling the liquid product or bottling it hot, Steve, himself, is the only person to touch the bottles.

“If we deviate once, we fail,” he said.

“It’s strategic. But our quest is to deliver a totally safe product to the people we care about most.”

Still, as social distancing winds down and businesses start to reopen, Johnson says that zip codes will start disappearing from the list of deliveries.

“We work with tremendously wonderful mom-and-pop shops in all of our counties,” Johnson explained. “Carrollton Dairy Bar and Espresso Yourself Bakery have since reopened, and we encourage our customer base to go to their local retailers. Northside Family Foods in Hardin, too, has remained open. I’m so grateful to be connected with, and it’s so purposeful to serve, a local business.”

However, should immunocompromised or otherwise limited customers continue to need the porch drop off service, Johnson says exceptions may be made.

“Something amazing I’ve been seeing is peace and quiet in neighborhoods; families together like they should be; people taking care of each other,” Johnson said. “Silver lining? I don’t know. But I hope we can keep a lot of these good things that I’m seeing when I’m out making my deliveries after all of this is over.”

“Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.”

James 1:2-4 NIV

O

ften in life we feel that we are either in the furnace and being burned up or on the anvil and being hammered. Perhaps this metaphor is apt. In order to grow and develop we may need to be heated to the melting point and then pounded into shape. The trials and tribulations of life are often sources of growth and development, if only we can learn from them. This can be an easy thing to accept in the cool of the afternoon, when things are going smoothly and we have time to reflect, or even when the trials and tribulations are small and are better described as irritants.

As the trials grow and increase in size from mere irritants into serious problems—car crashes, deaths, and job losses—it becomes increasingly more difficult to affirm them as

opportunities for growth. It may, at times, be wrong to think of them this way, as it would be heartless to say that someone’s loss of a loved one or a cancer diagnosis is an opportunity to grow and develop. But inwardly, we sometimes have to believe this, to believe that God is shaping us for higher things through this cosmic furnace and anvil. Otherwise, we despair. How strange and wonderful are the ways of God. –Christopher Simon

WHAT'S GOING ON BETWEEN THE RIVERS Q Point News

by Carol Sue Carnes Q 618-883-2333

Hard to believe that next Monday, May 25, we celebrate Memorial Day, originally known as Decoration Day when we visited the cemeteries to decorate the graves of our loved ones. The day first originated in the years following the Civil War and then became an official federal holiday in 1971.

It was in 1966, 100 years after the town of Waterloo, N.Y. shut down its businesses and took to the streets for the first of many continuous, community-wide celebrations, that President Lyndon Johnson signed legislation, recently passed by the U. S. Congress, declaring the tiny upstate village the “official� birthplace of Memorial Day. Dating back to May 1868, General John Logan, commander in chief of the Union veterans’ group, issued a decree that May 30 should become a nationwide day of commemoration for the more than 620,000 soldiers killed in the recently ended Civil War. Logan proclaimed Americans should lay flowers and decorate the graves of the war dead who now lie in almost every churchyard in the land. The only reason May 30 was chosen was because it was a rare day that didn’t fall on the anniversary of a Civil War battle, yet some historians believe the date was selected to ensure that flowers would be in full bloom at that time.

It was in the spring of 1915 that bright red flowers started growing through the battle-ravaged land in northern France and Flanders in northern Belgium. It was then that Colonel John McCrae saw these poppies and penned the poem “In Flanders Field.� The poppy remains a symbol of remembrance to this day. The local American Legions also place flags on the graves of all veterans to honor the fallen.

If you display the American flag, be sure it is hung at half-staff until noon on Memorial Day and to pause for a National Moment of Remembrance at 3 p.m.

Our weekend rain total for this area was very close to 4 inches. The downpour on Sunday morning created a lot of flooding. Photos on Facebook of the home, yard and large above ground pool of Tom and Pennie Pohlman in Brussels revealed lots and lots of water surrounding their place. The creek nearby had overflowed, as well as large amounts of rain water rushing down the hill out of Brussels. Also saw where Roodhouse had extensive flooding and their Fire Department had to come to the rescue. Just never know about these spring rains and the damage they can suddenly do.

St. Matthew Lutheran Church resumed services on Sunday morning with limited seating and social distancing.

I attended the later service

at 12:30 and must admit it felt so good to be back in God’s House. Rev. Randy Fisher is having services at 11 a.m. and 12:30 p.m. every Sunday.

He also is offering services on Tuesday and Wednesday if needed. In order to stay within the allotted number of people, you do need to call Rev. Fisher at 618-6707736 to reserve a place. He offers morning, afternoon or evening services to fit your schedule. After each service the church is completely sanitized to protect the following churchgoers.

At the 12:30 service the adults who had been attending weekly instructions were confirmed, namely Pepe and Majesta Garcia and Lisa Williams. Ben Tepen, who also attended weekly classes was unable to attend due to his work schedule, but will be confirmed in the near future. God’s blessings to all of them.

St. Mary’s Church in Brussels also held services on Saturday evening with a limited amount of seating and social distancing. I know they too were happy to return. I heard future services will be set up according to families who Father will be holding Masses for.

On Friday, my luncheon guests and visitors were Dennis and Shelly Scherer of Wright City, Mo. They brought me groceries and a beautiful planter of flowers for Mother’s Day. In the afternoon, I was finally able to get my hair cut with both of us wearing masks. Had not been to a salon since Feb. 12. Many thanks to them for everything, had been 10 weeks since we last were together.

On Saturday evening, Melinda Snider and I finally got to celebrate our birthdays from March and April.

Had been ages since we last saw another. She had ordered delicious catfish fillet dinners from A.J’s and drove down about 6 p.m. Needless to say we social distanced while she was here. After dinner we exchanged gifts and visited for an hour, then had lemon cupcakes she brought, along with ice cream, before she had to return home back to her roommate Shadow. Really enjoyed the dinner and visit (and gifts of course) for which I thank her so much.

Melinda is presently caring for her Aunt Barbara Eberlin in Alton since she fell and broke her hip, had surgery and is now back home using a walker and undergoing therapy each week.

When other family members help out, Melinda is able to return to her apartment at the SCRC in Brussels for a few days each week.

The Trash for Cash was held on Saturday and when I took up the bags, my son John and grandson Caleb helped me gather I saw one truck was full already. Many thanks to Judy Burch (and

Charles) of the Calhoun County Community Foundation who oversee this event in Brussels every year.

Charles and Judy Burch hosted a wonderful turkey dinner with all the trimmings at their home on Sunday in honor of their son Charles “Chipper’s� recent birthday. With the large home the Burch’s have, they could easily dine and visit with social distancing. Along with his wife Gwen and daughters they were joined by Caroline and Vince Stegman and children of Clayton. Many more “happy ones� to the Judge!

Due to the COVID-19 restrictions there will be no Brussels Woman’s Club monthly meeting in May. We are still hoping the Batchtown and Brussels Health Fair is able to be held on Sept. 3. Time will tell.

Deepest sympathy to yet another unexpected death.

That of Eugene “Gene�

Wieneke of Golden Eagle who passed away last Monday. Thoughts and prayers are with his family.

Deepest sympathy also to the family of Charles Snyder of Batchtown, a former high school classmate of mine, who passed away on Tuesday at his home. Thoughts and prayers are with his family.

Birthday blessings this week to Florence Rose, Patrick Simon, Linda Graham, Julie Kulp, Natalie Davis, Caleb Katzenberger, Zachary Holmes, Marcy Klockenkemper, JoAnn Bieker and all others celebrating their natal birthday at this time.

Happy anniversary to my daughter and son-in-law Cyndi and Trevor Axford on their 30th wedding anniversary, also Bob and Bonnie Held, Leroy and Phyllis Zimmerman, Greg and Sheryl Klaas, Travis and Peggy Hall, Dave and Susan Kennedy, Mel and Joan Ott, Josh and Heather Sievers and all other couples celebrating a wedding anniversary this week.

I will close with this poem written by Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae when he saw the poppies blooming in Flanders Field back in 1915. ––––––––––––––––––––– In Flanders Field In Flanders fields the poppies blow, between the crosses, row on row That mark our place; and in the sky, the larks still bravely singing, fly.

Scarce heard amid the guns below, We are the dead; short days ago we lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow.

Loved and were loved; and now we lie in Flanders Field.

Take up our quarrel with the foe, to you from failing hands we throw.

The torch be yours to hold it high, if ye break faith with us who die.

We shall not sleep, though poppies grow in Flanders Field.

Q Kampsville News

by Diane Brangenberg Q 618-653-4520

Well lots of rain this weekend in Kampsville means something we dread! That’s right, the water is coming back up. Hopefully it will just be temporarily, and will go back down as quickly as it came up.

This week we have lots of congratulations and a few college graduates. Congratulations to Morgan Stein who graduated May 15 as Doctor of Physical Therapy from Washington University.

Morgan is a sweetheart who has worked very hard to get to this accomplishment. I’m sure she’ll do well.

Congratulations to Madison Lehr who graduated from UMSL with an honor’s certificate and Cum Laude, and has accepted a Graduate Nurse’s position at Mercy Hospital on the general sur-

gery floor. You will be a wonderful nurse, Madison.

Congratulations to Junie Zirkelbach who was awarded Most Outstanding Defensive Basketball Player at Illinois College.

Happy birthday to another one of our favorite ferry guys Don Rongey on the 14. Also celebrating a birthday on the the 15, Judge Burch.

We have three May 17 birthday at our house, my daughter Valerie, grandson Carson and myself all share a birthday. Carson and I celebrated with a shark cake, and a hotdog and s’more’s roast.

Sympathy to the family of Charlie Snyders who passed away last week. Charlie was always a friendly guy and very much enjoyed watching his kids and grandkids in sports. He will be missed.

Kids in Kampsville will still be able to get their lunches through the 22nd from 10 to 10:30 a.m. at Saint Anslem’s parking lot. Harvey, John and Loyd will be there with their smiling faces making sure everyone is taken care of. We have wonderful bus drivers and we were blessed to have them up here.

Also, a huge thank you to Unit 40 for making sure that all kids were able to get a lunch during this.

Congratulations to the Class of 2020 both High school and eighth grade.

I hope everyone has a safe Memorial Day weekend.

Please continue prayers for Darren Kress, Cindy Smith, Joe Gress, Kurt Roth, Jim Hill, Linda Herkert, Bill Schumann, Eileen Gardner and Cathy Taul.
