Their success did not come without support, though. Each graduate speaker noted the efforts of faculty in getting them where they were today. “Thank you for the past four years,” LaMarsh said in her impassioned and at times tearful address at graduation. “Without you we could not have made it... Thank you for trying your hardest to allow us to have an almost normal senior year. It may have not been the ideal senior year to anyone, but it was perfect to all of us.” Parents were not excluded from these graduates’ thoughts either. “We really love and appreciate you, no matter what you say or do,” LaMarsh said. “To my parents, you inspire me every day to be the best person I can be.” Also, they said, they could not have done it without each other. “I hope we can keep the same attitude about life and think about

By JARAD JARMON Calhoun News-Herald Brussels High School seniors got a sunny and at times emotional farewell at their graduation ceremony Saturday, May 22. All 15 seniors at Brussels High School donned the blue cap and gown, despite the year they were up against. Regardless of the challenges they faced – namely a pandemic and the adjustments that needed to be made because of it – the seniors preserved. In the speeches of the several who spoke, perseverance was a recurring point made. “Along with all of the lessons I have learned from the Class of 2021, the most important one is how to work hard to get what you want and to stand up for what you believe in,” Keishia Hartle, a Brussels teacher asked to speak at the event, said. “Each and every one of these students have a fight inside of them. Though some of you might fight a little scrappy, they all fight with heart.” Senior Class President Brianna Garcia said all of the students’ efforts came down to attitude. “One thing I am sure we can take away from this experience is the importance of attitude. What I mean by that is we could have easily made this miserable and complained about the ‘why us’ part. However, this year served little to no change besides being socially distanced. “...It was because of our attitude that we continued on with our lives and (did) assignments. In this life, I have learned, you can either make the best of it or completely pick apart everything.” They kept their heads held high until the end, and will now be jumping into a new chapter of their life because of it. “The one thing that stands out the most about our class is

Vaccination rate slows in county; state opens up By JARAD JARMON Calhoun News-Herald The state, and even the country, are slowly opening up, and COVID cases are on a major downswing – especially in Calhoun, but health officials warn the battle has not been won yet. “It is still too early for that,” Jamie Bailey, registered nurse with Calhoun Health Department, said. As time goes by and more research is done, a call on this battle can better be made. In the meantime, the news has been nothing but positive, with COVID becoming infrequent in the community and restrictions getting lifted bit-by-bit for those who are vaccinated. In Calhoun, the once daily updates on cases through social media have dropped as cases have finally become scarce again – at least more scarce than they were at their peak. “It is sporadic. I mean we’ll go days without any new cases, and then we might have one or two pop ups, but overall it is definitely down,” Bailey said. Per the last update a month ago, there have been 524 total positive cases in the county, only five of whom have died from COVID since it hit the county last year. This fall is represented in the schools as well. In the Calhoun School District, a positive case had not been reported since the week of March 15. “Now, we have still had a few kids that have had to quarantine here and there, but it is usually due to outside exposure,” Calhoun Superintendent Andrea Lee said. At the state level, officials have moved Illinois into a “bridge” phase to completely begin the process of reopening. The governor’s office confirmed the state entered the bridge phase of expanded reopening Friday amid decreasing transmission rates. In the bridge phase, restaurants and bars can increase capacity from 25 percent to 30 percent, and outdoor capacity is allowed up to 50 percent for standing areas. Even better for businesses, vaccinated people do not count against capacity limits. The largest increase is to social events, which can now allow 250 people indoors and 500 outdoors. Previously, those were capped at 50 people. Pritzker’s office has said Phase 5, which is free of capacity limitations, could happen as early as June 11 if transmission numbers continue to decrease. As of Monday, more than 5.09 million Illinoisans – or 39.92 percent of the state’s population – were fully vaccinated, with 10.9 million doses administered statewide. (See, VACCINATION, A2)

Calhoun seniors remember Peyton, Baalman at graduation By JARAD JARMON Calhoun News-Herald High school graduation is certainly a time to look forward, officially turning the page on another chapter in life. However, it also serves as a time to remember the journey and people that helped along the way, and this year, the seniors at Calhoun Unit 40 decided to remember Coach Glenn Peyton in a special way. Friday, Calhoun’s Class of 2021 did not only walk the stage for their diploma donning a red cap and gown for their graduation ceremony. They were also adorned with neckties of Peyton’s, marking the man’s service and impact on those in the Warrior community. Peyton’s brother, Gary Peyton, donated these ties to the school in honor of his years of service. Peyton, the 53-year-old Calhoun Unit 40 coach, referee and educator died on Sept. 22, 2020, following heart surgery, leaving behind a 24-year teaching career and a community that continues to make efforts to ensure he

is remembered. Seniors also made sure to make mention of Mark Baalman’s impact on their lives. Baalman, lovingly known as “Mr. B,” died on March 21, after putting up a valiant fight against

a traumatic brain injury he suffered last July. His death sent shockwaves through the Calhoun community at large, but it was at Calhoun Unit 40 that many would argue the biggest hit was felt. (See, GRADUATION, A2)

Proposed legislation would raise fees in Recorder’s office Local clerks decry idea By CONNOR ASHLOCK Calhoun News-Herald At the May 11 Jersey County Board meeting, County Clerk Pam Warford expressed concern over proposed legislation in the General Assembly that will increase the rental housing support program (RHSP) fee from $9-18. “I want to inform the board and those present about a bill that I’m personally opposed to,” Warford said at the Jersey County Board meeting. “House Bill 3878 has passed the House and has moved to committee in the Senate. It will double the fee we’re collecting in the recorder’s office.” According to a press release from Warford, this legislation will increase

recording fees throughout the state. This includes deeds, mortgages, releases, easements and other documents related to property ownership. When reached for comment regarding this issue, Calhoun County Clerk Rita Hagen also expressed opposition regarding it. “I was not happy with the original Rental Housing Support Act from 2005 and the recording fee included in it,” Hagen noted. “The original act justified the increase in recording fee to real estate related documents by claiming this aided those paying the fee by keeping property values up. The funding collected was to help develop or subsidize good, clean, Section 811 housing projects. I always thought that concept was a far stretch.” Warford iterated that she knows of

no other clerk in favor of this legislation, citing two specific reasons, which she stated at the Jersey County board meeting and also in the press release. “Among the main complaints posed by clerks/recorders is that funds raised through the program have not been equitably returned to the counties who are collecting them, and that recent and past audits of the program have revealed negative findings,” the press release stated. Warford shared that since she took office in 2014, Jersey County has collected over $200,000 for the fund, which is only a fraction of the total amount collected from the county since the RHSP was started back in 2005, but has never received any money from the fund.

Graduation (Continued from A1) “So much remains with us and in us from those two men – the value of hard work, the importance of teamwork, the appreciation of the game, pride in your career and love for all students,” Salutatorian Lucy Kallal said in her speech Friday. “How lucky are we to have those memories remain? While it may seem like we are leaving here tonight with some hits, I would rather look at it like we are leaving here tonight with a lot that remains.” That includes the deep memories and lessons from these two men. Beyond this loss, graduates also had to grapple with the changes COVID had wrought on the country. Highschoolers – namely seniors – were resilient, something Calhoun High School Principal Cheri Burris made note of. “The Class of 2021 certainly fits these descriptions (of resilience). It was a roller coaster ride of a year this year with what we could and could not do, but your never-say-can’t attitude allowed many things to happen,” Burris said. This year, they were able to have a prom along with athletic seasons, something that was in question at the start of the school year. They were made stronger for the challenges they faced this year. “Looking back on the past 14 months, our junior and senior year has been

defined as the COVID year, pandemic year – even the lost year,” Kallal said. The efforts that led them to the graduation ceremony did not go unnoticed either – a point each student made sure to address. Colleen Schumann noted that Baalman and Peyton were some of those that had profound impacts on the class and its ability to move forward and succeed. “Mr. B and Mr. Peyton always reminded us to stay strong and never say can’t,” Valedictorian Schumann said. “For over a year now, we have been challenged with something that no one was prepared for, and we persevered and we never said can’t. This class has learned to be strong and now we finally get our happy ending… we get to walk out of here with memories that last a lifetime.” These seniors’ love for those that pushed them in school to be Warrior strong did not stop at these two. “We know we might not have been the easiest class to work with, and even without a global pandemic, your jobs are not easy, but yet you are still able to help mold us into the young adults we are today,” Senior Class President Elly Pohlman said to her teachers. During the ceremony, school leaders made sure to highlight those that received awards and scholarships. They are:

Q Maggie Toppmeyer and DJ Lorton, Bank of Calhoun Scholarship. Q Traci Gauntt and Zoey Roth, Bank of Kampsville Scholarship. Q Lucy Kallal, Elly Pohlman, Colleen Schuman and Victoria Roate, Calhoun Alumni Association Scholarship. Q Ben Eberlin, Ben Loft Scholarship. Q Lucy Kallal and Colleen Schumann, Calhoun Education Association Scholarship. Q Grant Gilman and Lucy Kallal, American Red Cross Scholarship. Q Zoey Roth, Boyd Hospital Scholarship. Q Jackie Barczewski, State’s Attorney Senior History Award. Q Alli Hagen, DJ Lorton and Zoey Roth, FFA Alumni Award. Q DJ Lorton, American Legion Runner-up Award. Q Lucy Kallal, American Legion First Place Award. Q Maggie Toppmeyer, Daughters of the American Revolution Award. Q Colleen Schumann, Lucy Kallal and Maggie Toppmeyer, Silver Medallion Award. Q Colleen Schumann and Corey Nelson, Illinois State Scholar Award. Following the presentation of their diplomas, the Class of 2021 was officially graduated, but as Pohlman stated, “Once a Warrior, always a Warrior.”

Vaccination (Continued from A1) Also, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has recently put out new guidance regarding fullyvaccinated individuals. Those who are vaccinated can now: Q Resume activities that they did prior to the pandemic. Q Resume activities without wearing a mask or staying 6 feet apart, except where required by federal, state, local, tribal, or territorial laws, rules, and regulations, including local business and workplace guidance. Q Travel in the United States without needing to get tested before or after travel or self-quarantine after travel. Q Be around someone who has COVID-19 without needing to stay away from others or get tested unless symptoms arise. Still, health officials are continuing to encourage people who have not been vaccinated to do so. “Another outbreak could easily be ignited, especially among unvaccinated people, so I would definitely still encourage anybody who is wanting to get a vaccine to still do so,” Bailey said.

Locally, as well as statewide, the number of vaccinations has gone down precipitously as the months have gone on. The vaccination pace has slowed, with about 76,082 vaccine doses administered on average daily over the previous seven days. That’s down from a peak of over 130,000 daily in mid-April. “In the beginning, we held mass vaccination clinics, and now we are doing smaller clinics,” Bailey said. “They are just much smaller clinics that are held here at the health department versus at the off-site locations that we had to have to accommodate people.” In Calhoun, 1,443 have been vaccinated, representing 30.05 percent of the county’s population. In total, there have been 2,897 doses administered in the county. The drop-off in Calhoun was really noticeable in late April, and has continued to dip, with various spikes throughout. Bailey indicated that people can check when their clinics are and sign up for appointments on social media or by calling 618-576-2428. Still, the county and the

country are going down a good path, meaning good things for a return to normal, like with schooling. “We are at least heading in the right direction,” Lee said. “I would like to be optimistic and think that next year will start mostly normal, but this summer is going to be the telltale sign of that.” In other news, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration recently expanded the emergency use authorization for the vaccine manufactured by Pfizer-BioNtech, and the state announced Thursday vaccination sites would be ready to vaccinate 12-15 yearolds this week. According to health officials, the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine was found to be 100-percent effective in preventing COVID-19 among participants ages 12 through 15 years, and side effects were similar to those 16 years of age and older, including pain at the injection site, tiredness, headache, chills, muscle and joint pain and fever.

NEWS/OPINION

Hardin, Illinois

Does ‘Free Speech’ include ‘giving the finger’ I assume everyone knows what is meant by the term “giving someone the finger.” Showing an extended middle finger has long been regarded as an aspect of free speech protected by the First Amendment to the US Constitution. It is an expression of contempt, but that particular form of free speech has its limitations. There are a few situations in which you cannot “give someone the finger” without legal repercussions. Don’t be giving someone the finger if you are in court. And if you are a student in the classroom, don’t be giving the finger to your teacher. Neither one of those attempts at “free speech” is necessarily “protected” free speech. With respect to schools in particular, the general rule is that expressions of free speech on campus are protected unless that particular form of free speech has a material, detrimental effect on the ability of the school to conduct its ultimate objective of teaching the students in a controlled environment. But what about off-campus conduct that, thanks to social media, will be viewed by students on campus? If a student off-campus is “giving the finger” to her school and fellow students via Snapchat, is that protected free speech? On April 28, the US Supreme Court heard oral arguments in the case of Mahanoy Area School District v Brandi Levy. In this case, Brandi Levy, then 14 years old, was unhappy because she did not make the high school cheerleading team. To express her contempt, and while at home, she took a cell phone photo of herself giving the finger and via Snapchat, directed this photo along with some colorful text at the school cheerleading team, the softball team and the school in general. Approximately 250 of her fellow students saw the post over the next 24 hours. It was also seen by her cheerleading coach. The coach immediately banned Brandi from being on the cheerleading team for the next year because her conduct violated team rules. Brandi and her parents sued, claiming that this violated Brandi’s Constitutional right to free speech. The ultimate issue in this case is the extent to which a school can discipline for conduct off campus when that conduct would normally be regarded as protected free speech. The oral argument before the Supreme Court in this case lasted two hours, which seems like a long time for an issue involving a girl not making the cheerleading squad, but the various justices really seemed to take a personal interest in the issue. Based on their questions and comments, I feel they sounded

more like concerned parents than members of the Supreme Court. Nearly all of the justices acknowledged how impactful social media can be on the behavior of high school students. Whether it is rendered on campus or off-campus, the line between the two has been blurred by Facebook, Snapchat and so on. Some justices expressed concern that allowing a school to discipline students for conduct away from school and posted on social media would be too restrictive on the rights of anyone, student or otherwise, to engage in free speech. Others were concerned that if schools were prohibited from taking action for any offcampus conduct as revealed on social media, the schools could not monitor conduct that needs to be monitored, such as cyber-bullying or physical threats against other students or the school generally. Several suggested that this conduct—giving the finger and texting the “F” word—was understandable for a 14-year-old girl who did not make the cheerleading team. Justice Kavanaugh, who coaches a girls basketball team in his spare time, said Brandi was simply “blowing off steam.” Justice Barrett, who has seven children of her own, felt the coach should have simply given Brandi a warning. The court may send the case back to the lower courts to consider more evidence or they may go ahead and rule on the merits. Based on the questions and comments of the justices, it seems likely that because this specific conduct did not appear to have a material, adverse effect on the school’s ability to educate, Brandi’s conduct on social media will be determined to be protected free speech. Note: As an aside, it is refreshing to see these justices react just like normal parents would.

Outdoor Truths: Gary Miller

Fisherman getting a once every 17-year opportunity This is the year of the cicadas, and no, a cicada is not a new hybrid car. It’s actually a type of flying insect that some call a locust, even though they are not related to the locust. They arrive in droves only about every 13-17 years. Right now, you can hear them in the woods, singing their mating song. The arrival of this bug is a special time for fishermen. It’s top water heaven, and there’s no better way to catch fish than on top-water baits. The story of the cicadas and the fisherman goes something like this. Even though the cicada lives a long time, they only come above the ground for about a four-to-six-week period. During that time, the

male sings his mating song. Once the female mates, she cuts small slits into trees and lays her eggs there. Once the male mates, he dies shortly thereafter. When he dies, he falls into the river or lake and is quickly gobbled up by a fish that has been lying in wait, and the action really heats up when hundreds or even thousands begin falling at once. This four-to-six-week period is the best time to be on the water with a lure that imitates this dying cicada. I have heard stories from the past of fish losing all sense of fear in order to get their share of these 17-year rarities. One story shared with me was from days gone by when catfish and even carp would

join the bass in the feeding frenzy. Fishermen would literally catch every species imaginable on top water baits. Now that would be fun! So, now’s the time to put off mowing the grass and get on the water. It may be another 17 years before this opportunity comes around again. And if your wife doesn’t believe that excuse, just have her read this column, because you know I’m going to tell you the Outdoor Truth! I’ll see you next week. I’m going fishing!

WILLIAM ‘BILL’ HOWLAND SR.

May 26, 2021 25 years ago Jan Marie Nolte, the daughter of Larry and JoAnn Nolte of Golden Eagle, and Erin Elizabeth, the daughter of William and Joan Held of Golden Eagle, will both serve as valedictorians this year at Brussels High School. Kristi Fortschneider, daughter of Leonard and Betty Fortschneider of Brussels, has been named salutatorian for the graduating class of 1996 at Brussels High School. Josh Zipprich, son of Rick and Marsha Zipprich of Hardin, is valedictorian of the senior class at Calhoun High School. Missy Churchman, daughter of Gary and Cathy Churchman of Hardin, is the salutatorian of the senior class at Calhoun High School. 50 years ago May 27, 1971 This class of Mrs. Beulah Jarrell is finishing a year of kindergarten.

Mr. and Mrs. William Franke of Batchtown married 50 years “Come listen my friends, and you shall know, of a romance of long ago; In the same old place, where we have gathered today, 50 long years ago the twenty-first of May. The Johnes family had a daughter fair, with deep brown eyes and dark brown hair, Elizabeth was her name, I’ll tell you so, for it has a part in the story you know. I’ll hurry along as fast as I can, for I must speak of the nice young man. William was his name, he was rather tall, of a family of seven he was the eldest of all. When these two met, they acted a little shy, they both were young, I suppose that was why, and when he asked her to be his’n, he waited awhile before she’d listen. So they finally agreed upon a day, and it was in the merry month of May. So this young lady and pretty maid, a visit to the preacher made. Not in a fashionable auto as to church we ride, but in a three-seated spring wagon with his prospective bride by his side. And when the rites were o’er, the preacher led them

to the door, and to this happy man and wife, he wished them a long and happy life. Back to the old home they went, joy filled their hearts with sweet content. Together now their joys they share, unto each their every care. This all happened in the year 1896, and for 50 long years their lives have run even as the old clock ticks. They’ve worked together through clouds and sun, they loved each other since their love begun. May this love hold them the rest of their way, may they be together for many a day. May every treasured memory in its own special way, just add to all the happiness that must be theirs today. And now Aunt Lizzie and Uncler Bill, “Congratulations from all your old friends and relation.” We are all very happy to be present at your Golden Wedding celebration, and pray that you may have more happy anniversaries to come, e’re life it’s happy journey has run. Written by Selma Franke, niece of William Franke. May 21, 1946 marked the fiftieth year of the vows of matrimony taken by Mr. and Mrs. William Franke. A large crowd began to gather about 10 o’clock at their lovely home two miles south of Batchtown, with well-filled baskets, which helped to make a sumptuous table. The dining room was beautifully decorated with potted plants and streamers of gold crepe paper. A four-tier wedding cake with gold icing made the centerpiece for the table. Bouquets of yellow and white roses and gold candles added to the beauty of the table. Seated at the table with Mr. and Mrs. Franke wer Rev. and Mrs. Georgi of St. Louis, Rev. Georgi having served here as pastor of the Lutheran Church about 10 years ago; also seated at the table were Mrs. Mollie Gose of Beechville, who had served as bridesmaid for the couple 50 years ago, and some of the other friends at the table were Mrs. Hannah Ufer, Mrs. Azuba Bell, Mrs. Emma Zigrang, Mrs. Bessie Berrey, Mrs. Mina Bockstruck and Mrs. Myrtle Lorsbach. Tables in the basement were laden with every kind of food imaginable, including chicken, ham, beef, salads, vegetables, pickles, cakes and pies. It was served cafeteria-style to over 300 guests. Later in the afternoon, over 45 gallons of ice cream was served. While the guests were being served, a group of ladies sang several selections, “My Faith Looks Up to Thee,” “Blest Be the Tie that Binds,” “Silver Threads Among the Gold,” and “When You and I Were Young Lizzie.” Mrs. Rose Melander of Kansas, a friend of the couple, favored the group with a solo, “I Love You Truly.” Mr. Whitfield, Hardin photographer, took pictures of the honored couple and a group of men and women who attended their wedding 50 years ago. Some in the group were quite young at that time. A picture was taken in front of the old house where Mr. and Mrs. Franke began housekeeping when first married. A picture was also taken of the couple cutting the beautiful wedding cake which was baked by Lois Kinder and Minnie Bell. Another picture of the cou-

ple and the many gifts they received was made. The many very beautiful and useful gifts they received, and of which they were very proud, included pictures, potted plants, glassware, throw rugs, bed spread, set of dishes, curtains, radio, heating pad, beautiful platform rocker, two gold-plated sets and many other gifts too numerous to mention. This was the first golden wedding celebration in the Franke family and most every family was represented by nieces and nephews of the couple. Friends and relatives from all parts of Calhoun County, Iowa, Missouri and Illinois gathered at this happy home and enjoyed the fine hospitality of their host and hostess. Mr. and Mrs. Franke have trod the path which for 50 years has led them onward and upward until today they stood upon the very peak of their happiness. They were both very happy and thrilled to greet their many friends on this, their Golden Wedding anniversary. We extend to them our heartiest congratulations and best wishes for many more happy years to come. At a late hour, all departed for their various homes and exclaimed that it was indeed the end of a perfect day. 100 years ago May 26, 1921 On Sunday, May 22, 1921, Benjamin Franklin Johnson looked back over 77 complete years of his life. He first saw the light of day in 1844 in Ohio. He was a bashful youth of 15 years when he came to this part of Calhoun County. The family resided in a primitive log dwelling near the present home of H. W. Fiedler for a few years. “Uncle Ben” has spent 62 years of life within a small circle about Batchtown. When he first knew the place, it was known as Richwoods. The only building among the “richwoods” that grew on the present site of Batchtown was the old stone schoolhouse that stands. The stone building was the second schoolhouse erected in this part of Calhoun. It took the place of a log schoolhouse that stood near the same site, and was put up about the year 1847. During 62 years back of the birthday he celebrated last Sunday, “Uncle Ben” has seen a long list of changes among the friends he has known. The majority of them have passed into the beyond. He worked 22 years for S. A. White, and afterwards owned and conducted a grocery store in what is now the home of Barney Croner. “Uncle Ben” was prominent in Calhoun politics for many years. Candidates hunted him up and were always pleased to find him a helpful friend. It meant a great deal when five to 10 men were seeking nomination for the same office. He is leading a quiet life these days. Office for himself, or another, is the least of his troubles. He helps Charley Wilkinson in the harness shop, and spends the rest of his time in working his own garden and keeping house. He is a good cook and always raises a garden, but he is getting tired of cooking for himself and living alone. - Batchtown Correspondent to the Calhoun News.

Brussels (Continued from A1) Brussels graduates joining a branch of the US Military were also recognized: Ashlynn Lockwood, who plans to join the Air National Guard, and Mary Vogel, who has enlisted in the Illinois Army National Guard. Graduates were given their diplomas and a white rose that was then presented to their parents during the ceremony. BHS Principal Pam Long closed the ceremony with a pop quiz for the graduates, asking them to define an adjective before

noting that there were numerous adjectives to describe the individuals of the Class of 2021. “Hard working, fun-loving, adventurous, competitive, intelligent, spirited, kind, compassionate, helpful, driven, dedicated, focused, easy-going, clever but probably most of all hungry,” Long said. “...It is some of the best I could come up with to describe these young people before us today. With this list, I have no doubt that they will move forward in life and be successful with whatever they choose to do.”

Jehonadab and the Rechabites “We have obeyed everything our forefather Jehonadab son of Rekab commanded us. Neither we nor our wives nor our sons and daughters have ever drunk wine or built houses to live in or had vineyards, fields or crops.” Jeremiah 35:8-9 NIV

Rull Brothers Hardin, IL

Jersey Community Hospital 618-498-6402 www.jch.org

ehonadab and the Rechabites are mentioned in both 2 Kings (2 Kings 10:15-31) and in Jeremiah (chapter 35). The Rechabites were a nomadic group who took an oath to live in tents, to not drink wine, nor to plant vineyards or other crops. They foreswore living in houses and instead embraced a nomadic life. There is an interesting tension in the Hebrew Bible between those who have chosen the nomadic life of the shepherd and those who have decided to settle down in permanent settlements. We see this tension in the story of Cain and Abel. Recall that Cain was a farmer and Abel a shepherd. When God preferred the sacrifice of Abel to that of Cain, Cain became angry and murdered his brother. Cain is then condemned to wander and to till the soil and he

goes to dwell in the land of Nod, east of Eden, where he builds a city. The Rechabites hark back to this primal enmity between city folks and country folks, although early on it is a struggle between pastoral and agrarian lifestyles. (It is ironic that the agrarian lifestyle is what allowed cities to be built.) Perhaps the Rechabites and their relationship to those who dwelt permanently in Jerusalem was a sign that this tension can be resolved. There is room for everyone on this earth, for those who choose to dwell in houses and settle permanently in cities and for those who do not. – Christopher Simon

Native Illinois bee species are organisms that were here before the land was settled by people of European descent. At this time, there are approximately 400 to 500 species of native bees in Illinois. Bumble bees, carpenter bees, plasterer bees, cuckoo bees, mason bees,

leafcutter bees, sweat bees and mining bees are the types of bees that can be found in Illinois. They are known to range in size from about one-tenth of an inch to about 1 inch in length. Bees are important because they provide for the existence of many plant species and in turn all terrestrial animals which include humans. Because

It appears our nice springtime weather is over. Temperatures the past week were in the mid to upper 80s, and Sunday was a high of 89. I finally had to give up and turn the air conditioner on this morning. Congratulations to Matt and Tara Meyer, who were wed on Saturday, May 15. The outdoor ceremony was held near the Wilkinson Pond on Winter Lane in Godfrey at 1 p.m. A reception and dance followed inside a beautifully decorated and enclosed tent. Matt is the son of Richard Meyer of Golden Eagle (and the late Joyce Meyer), and Tara is the daughter of Tom and Terrie Koehne of Godfrey. Best wishes to the happy couple. Cohen Alan Affholder, son of Cody and Ashley Affholder of Golden Eagle, was baptized on Sunday, May 16, at St. Mary’s Church in Brussels with Fr. Roberts officiating. Sponsors were Chelsea Bonner and Brent Kirn. A luncheon was held afterward at the home of Steve and Sue Rose. God’s Blessings to Cohen. Bob and Bonnie Held returned Monday evening after spending a week with their daughter and son-in-law, Jean and Rae Payne. The Paynes own a beautiful home in northern Wisconsin on a lake there. Sounds like the two couples spent an enjoyable time together, along with many pontoon boat rides.

of the fact that there are so many native bees their habits are very different. They can be found living in wetland, woodland, grassland and urban habitats. On Monday, May 31, remember our veterans. For your information, the Civil War claimed more lives than any conflict in United States History, which required the estab-

lishment of the country’s first national cemeteries. This war ended in the spring of 1865. In the late 1860s Americans in certain towns and cities began holding springtime tributes to the soldiers that died by going to the cemeteries and decorating their graves with flowers and saying prayers. Have a great week!

Saturday afternoon. All three of the Scherers’ grandchildren, Noah, Addy and Sam, were there, so we had an enjoyable time with them as well. Saturday evening, the birthday celebration was held at the O’Fallon Bowling Alley with family members and friends in attendance. The ninth birthday of Noah and the fifth birthday of Addy were celebrated at the event. They are the children of Ashley Kirn of Wentzville. Many more “happy ones” to both of them. After the celebration, we returned home. Many thanks also to Shelly and Dennis for their hospitality. We had an enjoyable time there! On Wednesday, the pre-K class graduated from SMS in Brussels. Afterward, the children enjoyed a field day at the school with a water slide, bounce house and water balloon fun. Lunch was also served and even an ice cream truck stopped by. Graduates of pre-K were Graceyn Heffington, Lincoln Kulp, Anderson Rose, Liam Caselton, Claire Rose, Emmet Carnes, Alessa Ray, twins Mason and Miles Schleeper, Sydney Bonner, Abbie Friedel, Charlotte Gilbreth, Anna Kulp, Tatum McCluggage and Colin Tepen. Because of their age, Charlotte, Tatum and Alessa will be returning for another year of pre-K, and the other 12 will be moving on to kindergarten. Congratulations to all of them! Congratulations to the Brussels Grade School who held their eighth grade graduation on Friday evening. Students now heading to high school are Olivia Brodbeck, Kevin Garcia, Ryan Hagen, Andrew Heffington, Paige Pohlman, Trenton Rose, Taylor Carey, Cadence Sievers and Matthew Kiel. Congratulations to all of you and the best of luck as you begin high school later this year.

A graduation party for Lacy Pohlman, Maggie Toppmeyer and Colby Clark was held on Sunday afternoon at the home of Lacy’s parents, Greg and Susie Pohlman in Meppen. These three graduated recently from Calhoun High School in Hardin. Also helping to host the party were Mark and Mary Toppmeyer and Shawn and Connie Clark.

Birthday blessings this week to Jace Bonner, Trevor Rose, Dan Jenkins, Jon Schleeper, Melody Schenk, Fred Kuhn, Dana Martin, Gretchen (Kuhn) Stoltz, Kevin Nolte and all others celebrating their natal day at this time. Happy Anniversary to my niece and her hubby, Tammy and Gary Kronable along with Mel and Joan Ott, Josh and Heather Sievers, Emil and Cindy Kuhn, Charles and Judy Burch, Gary and Kim Devine and all other couples celebrating their wedding anniversary this week.

PRAYER FOR OUR ARMED FORCES: Lord of the nations, watch over all those in military service. Give them courage, honor and integrity as they carry out their duties. Protect both their physical and mental health as they guard our nation. Spare them from war and bloodshed. Sustain their families during this difficult time of separation and bring them safely home when their time of service is ended. In the name of Jesus, Amen.

(Continued from A1) According to Hagen, Calhoun County has also never seen any money from the fund. “The money collected has been sent to the Illinois Department of Revenue and has been distributed through a property selection process developed by the Illinois Housing Development Authority,” Hagen explained. Under the new legislation, according to Hagen, this arrangement will not change. “In Amendment 1 to that bill, lobbying efforts hope to create a task force to study and make recommendations for equitable distribution of those funds to local administering agencies in counties,” Hagen said. “Obviously, if I didn’t support the original fee for the purpose it is intended, I don’t support the increase. If the Illinois Senate votes to pass this bill for presentation to Gov. Pritzker, it must include the amendment to aid in distribution and accountability. Basically, if you expect us to collect it, we want a seat on that task force board.” Warford expressed concern over what she believed to be a lack of transparency and documentation, so much so that she contacted the offices of State Senator Steve McClure, R-Springfield, and State Rep. C.D. Davidsmeyer, R-Jacksonville, to voice her concerns. “According to the Illinois Housing Development Authority, 24 counties have never received RHSP funds back to serve their local landlords and renters with rental housing support needs,” the press release said. “In central Illinois, the counties of Calhoun, Greene, Jersey, Logan, Macoupin and Morgan have never received RHSP funds for their jurisdictions.” McClure, who represents the 50th district, expressed that he was against the bill. “[Warford] pointed out that these funds don’t go to the county you’re paying them in, so they could go anywhere. We just got a huge bailout by the federal government that’s already being misspent. Unfortunately, our government has a bad track record when it comes to this,” McClure said. “So, I’m against these fee increases. They’re an unnecessary burden, and there’s no guarantee they will have an impact on the counties that are collecting them. It’s just not something I support.” McClure expressed that fee increases such as what is proposed in HB 3878 is characteristic of the state government, noting that the issue isn’t a general lack of money in the state, but the inability to settle finances and live within means. “I’ve seen how our money is being spent right now and there’s just so much waste in government, so I roll my eyes when I hear we’re not collecting enough taxes or fees,” McClure said.

Calhoun superintendent details for co-op board discussion

By JARAD JARMON Calhoun News-Herald It will be some time before Brussels and Calhoun set up another co-op, if ever. Calhoun Superintendent Andrea Lee explained that for Calhoun district leaders, this was not something they had been considering, and it will take time to get answers for the questions raised in the Calhoun School Board meeting. “It is not a topic we have even talked about,” Lee said. There is a lot to consider including cost, feasibility, the length of the co-op and if it encompasses all sports or just one. As previously reported, Brussels has been in pursuit, at the request of parents, of additional sports co-ops with Calhoun because of the low number of interested students in sports like baseball in Brussels. In spring, Brussels was unable to have a baseball team to play this season because of this lack of interest and low enrollment. Currently, there is only

one co-op between the two Calhoun districts 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. “It probably raised more questions than it did anything else,” Lee said of the board discussion. What might be the biggest issue with the co-op is that Calhoun numbers are and will be good, even though Brussels enrollment in athletics is not. “What might be an opportunity for their students – we also have to weigh in the fact that we may have plenty of athletes in those sports,” Lee said. For example, the Calhoun volleyball team is flush with

St. Jude Novena May the sacred heart of Jesus be adored, glorified, loved and preserved, throughout the world now and forever. Sacred heart of Jesus, pray for us. St. Jude, worker of miracles, pray for us. St. Jude, helper of helpless, pray for us. Thank you, St. Jude KS

players. Calhoun also has a lot of burgeoning male athletes in the district. “We have a large group of boy athletes coming up in eighth grade, so our numbers are going to be really good,” Lee said. This is not to say such a co-op could not happen or that the co-op isn’t being considered. “We don’t want those kids to not have opportunities, but at the same time, how do you do that or not do that while still putting the needs of your kids and community first,” Lee said of the decision school leaders will have to grapple with in the near future. The two schools are still just in the beginning stages of this consideration, and it will take

some more time before a decision is made. “We understand there is some interest from Calhoun 40, but they have some questions for us, which is understandable. We haven’t seen the questions yet, but I am sure that is coming. It is probably not the most important thing on their list of things to do,” Brussels Superintendent Mark Martin said. “We’ll be in touch with them.” Lee said it may be back up for discussion in the June meeting, where they will figure out if they should keep talking about it or if this is not the right time. Lee noted there are intentions to meet with the Brussels school leaders.

Calhoun News-Herald

2020 Calhoun County final multiplier announced Calhoun County has been issued a final property assessment equalization factor of 1.0000, according to David Harris, Director of the Illinois Department of Revenue. The property assessment equalization factor, often called the “multiplier,” is the method used to achieve uniform property assessments among counties, as required by law. This equalization is particularly important because some of the state’s 6,600 local taxing districts overlap into two or more counties, e.g. school districts, junior college districts and fire protection districts. If there were no equalization among counties, substantial inequities among taxpayers with comparable properties would result. Under a law passed in 1975, property in Illinois should be assessed at one-third of its market value. Farm property is assessed differently, with farm homesites and dwellings subject to regular assessing and equalization procedures,

but with farmland assessed at one-third of its agriculture economic value. Farmland is not subject to the state equalization factor. Assessments in Calhoun County are at 33.33 percent of market value, based on sales of properties in 2017, 2018 and 2019. The equalization factor currently being assigned is for 2020 taxes, payable in 2021. Last year’s equalization factor for the county was 1.0000. The final assessment equalization factor was issued after a public hearing on the tentative factor. The tentative factor issued in February 2021 was 1.0000. The equalization factor is determined annually for each county by comparing the price of individual properties sold over the past three years to the assessed value placed on those properties by the county supervisor of assessments/county assessor. If this three-year average level of assessment is one-third of the market

value, the equalization factor will be one. If the average level of assessment is greater than one-third of market value, the equalization factor will be less than one. And if the average level of assessment is less than one-third of market value, the equalization factor will be greater than one. A change in the equalization factor does not mean total property tax bills will increase or decrease. Tax bills are determined by local taxing bodies when they request money each year to provide services to local citizens. If the amount requested by local taxing districts is not greater than the amount received in the previous year, then total property taxes will not increase even if assessments increase. The assessed value of an individual property determines what portion of the tax burden a specific taxpayer will assume. That individual’s portion of tax responsibility is not changed by the multiplier.
