Girl falls down bluffs near Joe Page Bridge

By JARAD JARMON Calhoun News-Herald Emergency personnel descended on the bluffs overlooking the Joe Page Bridge for what was a roughly two-hour rescue Tuesday evening, May 19.

A few juveniles hiked up the bluffs, and a female juvenile lost her footing and fell what was reportedly 20-50 feet and got stuck around 7:30 p.m. “It is kind of a popular place for

young kids to go,� Calhoun County Sheriff Bill Heffington said. “There is a cave up there. There is a ledge up there, but it is all steep.�

First responders were called shortly after to rescue the girl and the other two at the top of the bluffs. “That is the thing. It is just really steep territory no matter which way you go. When you get off that ledge up there, it is just loose rock,�

Heffington said.

It was a challenge to reach the

juveniles with equipment. “It is almost straight up and down all the way up through there,�

Heffington said. “It is easy to lose your footing. That’s the problem the first responders had last night with everything being real loose,� he said following the incident.

But after a couple of hours, they were brought down, and the juvenile that fell was sent to the Hospital. The individual only sustained minor injuries. First respond-

ers sustained minor injuries as well.

Heffington said they were fortunate, all things considered, that the situation was not worse. “Everything turned out good,�

Heffington said. “Luckily, everybody got out without any serious injury. There were a lot of scratches and bruises to the fireman and first responders from all of the rock.

It was quite of heck of an effort between the first responders in surrounding areas, but you know, it turned out great.�

Job Center to launch flood clean-up effort; provide employment opportunity By &21125 $6+/2&.

Calhoun News-Herald

T

he Flood of 2019 left in its wake an unmeasurable amount of debris scattered around Calhoun and western Jersey counties, clogging up roadways and other areas that have yet to be cleaned up. “There are about 260 different piles of debris left in Nutwood alone,� Tony Fuhrmann, director of the Madison County Employment and Training department, said.

After the floodwaters receded, the Jersey-Calhoun Job Center started working on a project to put folks back to work. “We’ve been working on this project since last October, getting our ducks in a row with state requirements, well before the coronavirus hit,� Fuhrmann said. “The original intent was to put people back to work in these programs, but a lot of government programs take awhile to implement, so we’re behind with when it was supposed to start.�

The time it took to get the program off the ground was further extended by reports of possible flooding earlier this year followed by the arrival of the coronavirus pandemic.

Work begins on June 1, so the Job Center is taking all the necessary precautions to keep folks safe. “Employees will be given ongoing safety training, including coronavirus safety measures. We will honor social distancing while on the job and wear masks when it can’t be,�

Fuhrmann said.

This employment opportunity was created at the state level and supplied by disaster relief funds, which is an offshoot of the Job Center’s regular funding for job training. The project will supply 12 jobs altogether, six in Jersey County and six in Calhoun County.

Currently, the Job Center is seeking out two more applicants in Jersey and three more in Calhoun.

Accepted applicants can expect to work 40 hours a week and earn $15 an hour for labor-intensive tasks that include clearing roadways and ditches of debris and cutting up brush.

Before they can be approved for the job, applicants must pass a health screening which includes a drug test and physical.

If anyone is interested in applying for this opportunity, they can call the Job Center at 498-1778 for more information. The job is expected to last through November.

Read beyond the headline

By BILL HOAGLAND Dogs may contract COVID 19.

At least, that is what the headline said on May 20 as I scanned through the daily news on my computer.

As an owner of multiple dogs, that headline certainly got my attention. If that headline were true, can you imagine what we dog owners would have to deal with on a daily basis?

First, we would undoubtedly get a new regulation from Gov. JB Pritzker, ordering that all dogs must observe the six-foot distancing rule, with criminal penalties for those mutts who ignore it.

Wouldn’t you love to see the mug shots of the dogs brought in to be booked?

And to prove he is really in charge, Pritzker would probably take it a few doggie steps further. First of all, no sniffing of another dog’s body parts under any circumstance—even if you are related. And of course, all doggie parks would be off limits until further notice— the risk is just too great if

more than 10 dogs are gathered in one doggie park. So if your pooch has to “do his business,” maybe you can rent your neighbor’s back yard — or maybe not.

And we would undoubtedly have the requirement that all dogs must wear face masks in public. Good luck with that. How long do you think that mask is going to stay on as it blocks your pooch’s nose—the most important portal that a dog has to the outside world?

Not long. Particularly since a nice set of teeth are less than an inch away, just waiting for something to do.

Finally, if your dog tests positive, does he have to quarantined for 20 days?

Try explaining that to “man’s best friend”.

Actually, if you read the text of the news story that said dogs may contract COVID-19, your blood pressure will drop immediately. It turns out that the two dogs who tested positive lived in Hong Kong.

And the test on one of those dogs showed only that there had been evidence of

exposure—not that there was an active virus in that dog. More importantly, both dogs were asymptomatic. They were tested only because their owners had tested positive. In fact, a number of other dogs were tested in Hong Kong under the same circumstances and none tested positive.

Nor was there any evidence that dogs spread the virus to either other dogs or to humans. So take a deep breath.

Note: Unfortunately, there is credible evidence that some felines, including domesticated cats, may contract the disease. In fact, back when the SARS epidemic broke out in 2002 in the Chinese wet markets, the civet—a Chinese cat— was believed to have been

Hunting agencies’ pricing is going out of range We are in uncharted territory.

COVID-19 has not only affected my work life, but now my hunting life. Kentucky allowed no non-resident hunters to hunt during turkey season. I know the fish and wildlife agency was not happy either. They could have used the income.

But to be honest, most fish and game agencies have been losing my money for some years now. The affordability to hunt out-of-state has become increasingly out-of-reach.

In Kentucky, for example, a bear tag that was once included with your deer tag, is now $250. In Missouri, a turkey tag was once included with your deer tag. Today, it will cost another $224. And I’m not picking on Kentucky or Missouri. I could give you the same scenario in Tennessee, Virginia, Alabama, Texas and the rest of the United States.

And therein lies the problem.

When an agency is asked why, most will say: “every state is doing it.” And that is supposed to end the conversation. A wildlife officer once told me they were making more money now but with less hunters. This ought to make every single organization that is designed to increase the hunter population go bonkers.

Now, let me defend the officers who work in the field. I think most are great. Many of them I consider friends. Most of them do not get to make decisions about the cost of license. They are doing their job, mostly because they love the outdoors, hunting and fishing, and doing things right.

What upper management does not understand is they are slowly getting rid of the very outdoor activity they are sending others to propagate. They will send lobbyists to Washington to make sure hunting will survive, while undermining their efforts within their own constituents. Not only are fewer hunters hunting, but fewer new adults are getting into the sport. Why? It is priced out of range. I know, because I am one of those who like to travel to other hunting places but can no longer do that with any consistency. I simply can’t afford it. I am not alone. Some will say license costs have stayed the same. I say that’s not true when you consider the added fees.

So, what do we do? Should I just complain without offering suggestions? Yes and no.

My suggestion is for those who make these decisions to do what I’m going to do right now. Say, “I don’t have any

clue how to add m o r e revenue without adding m o r e cost to the hunter.” And once you say this, hire those who are experts in these areas, and let them do their work. If the goal is to make it through the budget year, then add another cost to the ones who love hunting. If you want to make hunting last for generations, then figure out another way to bring in revenue.

If you are concerned about politicians, and anti-hunting organizations getting rid of our opportunity to hunt, you are concerned about the wrong people and groups. We are eliminating our passion from within. More revenue cannot be at the expense of less hunters. Or soon, there will be neither.

Secretary of State announces reopening plan with expanded hours Illinois Secretary of State Jesse White announced this week his office’s reopening plan – beginning June 1 – with the first two months focused on serving only new drivers, customers with expired driver’s licenses/ID cards and vehicle transactions. Currently there are more than 700,000 expired driver’s licenses/ID cards and 1.9 million expired vehicle registrations.

All Secretary of State departments and offices will be open for business on June 1. All Driver Services facilities statewide outside Chicago metro area will open Tuesday, June 2. Hours of operation are Tuesday 8 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., Wednesday through Friday 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturday 7:30 a.m. to noon. For the first two months through July 31, these facilities will only serve: Q New drivers (most will be 16-year-old driver applicants) Q Customers with expired driver’s licenses and ID cards Q Vehicle transactions For all other services, please refer to the various departments listed on www.cyberdriveillinois. com.

“Throughout this pandemic, my commitment has been to do everything we can to help protect the health and safety of our residents and my employees, while providing services to the people of Illinois,” White said. “This reopening plan adheres to this commitment.”

Customers and Secretary of State employees will be required to wear face masks unless a medical condition prohibits the safe use of a mask.

Plexiglass dividers have been installed at all work stations and tape has been applied to the floor in 6-foot intervals to follow social distancing guidelines, limiting the number of customers inside a facility at one time.

For drive tests, employees will wear a face

mask and a face shield due to the close proximity with the customer inside the vehicle. Customers will be required to wear face masks unless medically unable. Disposable plastic will be used to cover the vehicle seats during the drive test and then discarded immediately after the conclusion of the drive test.

White continues to encourage residents to go to www.cyberdriveillinois.com to take advantage of many online services – such as renewing vehicle registration stickers – from the comfort of their own home. People who conduct online transactions will avoid waiting in line at a facility.

Some of these online services include: Q renewing a vehicle registration; Q obtaining a duplicate driver’s license or ID card; Q obtaining a driving record abstract; Q renewing a driver’s license through the Safe Driver Renewal program.

Since March 17, through online services, the office has issued more than 775,000 vehicle registration stickers, 350,000 titles and 200,000 driver’s licenses/IDs. White is reminding customers that his office extended expiration dates by at least 90 days after the governor’s June 1 disaster proclamation executive order ends. This extension will ensure driver’s licenses, ID cards and vehicle registrations remain valid and will help alleviate the initial rush of customers visiting the reopened facilities.

White also reminded the public that the federal government extended the REAL ID deadline by one year until Oct. 1, 2021. White had petitioned the federal government for this extension due to the COVID-19 pandemic. People with valid U.S. passports are encouraged to consider delaying their visit to a facility to apply for a REAL ID until their driver’s license is near its expiration date.

OPINION

Hardin, Illinois

(Continued from A1) we have been receiving over this year. And, we’ve been working on the meth pretty hard,” Heffington said.

In a news release from the Calhoun Sheriff’s Department, it was reported that recent arrests have included driving while license suspended/ revoked, possession of adultuse cannabis in a motor vehicle, driving under the influence of cannabis, driving under the influence of methamphetamine and improper lighting.

Currently, the department is waiting for lab tests to come back on the evidence in these separate incidents. During the COVID-19 related shutdown in the state, labs where this would be tested have been closed up until recently.

“As soon as we get every-

thing back, we are going to have quite a few (warrants for arrests),” Heffington said.

The fight is not over, though.

“We are going to stay after this meth until we can pretty much eliminate it in Calhoun County,” the sheriff said.

Heffington is hopeful this will have an impact on the presence of the drug in the county.

“The trickle down effect with our efforts right now is going to make people scared to come to Calhoun with this product,” he said.

Anyone with information about drug related cases is encouraged to contact the Calhoun County Sheriff’s Department at (618)576-2417, or call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-300-2590.

Vincentian volunteers deliver food to the poor. From left to right: Brad Vacca, vice president, Jim Twichell, president, Thomas Lieber, volunteer, Eddie Lieber, volunteer and Dick Lieber, board member.

St. Vincent de Paul Society awarded grant The St. Vincent de Paul Society (SVDPS) of Calhoun County, a non-profit serving low income families and individuals in Calhoun, has received a $1,500 grant from the CRS Rice Bowl Program to assist with food during the anticipated flood of 2020, now overshadowed by the shelter in place orders due to COVID-19.

CRS Rice Bowl is a program sponsored by the Diocese of Springfield in Illinois and Catholic Relief Services. This Lenten program is conducted in Catholic parishes throughout the entire diocese.

Seventy percent of the funds raised are used for international relief and developmental projects, and 25 percent are distributed within the diocese for food programs and root-cause-of poverty relief efforts.

Along with this grant, SVDPS has also received a matching contribution from the community to buy food.

With these funds SVDP will be able to purchase food vouchers locally from Northside Grocery in Hardin, Red and White and Odelehr’s in Brussels and give to eligible families. This is a good way to provide perishable foods such as produce,

25 Years Ago May 31, 1995 The Nutwood Levee still seems to be doing its job.

“We’ve tried to get ourself in a position on top of the levee that if the Illinois River should come to 438.8 or 439.0, we should still be able to hold that,” Rick DeVerger, Chairman of the Nutwood Levee and Drainage District, said.

They are using the same method as was done on the Keach Levee in 1993, which held during the record flood.

That is, they are building a wooden fence, putting plastic sheeting over it, and then reinforcing it with sandbags.

This procedure is much quicker, but more expensive.

Four or five men can put up a one-half mile of this combination in a day. It would take 50 men to put a one-half mile of sandbags in that same time period.

“Unless something changes, we don’t feel we can afford to do anything more.

I think we’ll be all right with no appreciable rain,” DeVerger said.

DeVerger noted that the Nutwood Levee has never failed on an Illinois flood.

“We only failed when the Mississippi blocks us up, and we can’t get rid of our water,” DeVerger commented.

50 Years Ago May 28, 1970 The Lewis-Clark Junior College will start this fall, using the facilities of Monticello College at Godfrey.

This is a year ahead of what was hoped for a few weeks ago.

milk, eggs, cheese, and meats, especially to elderly or singles. SVDP volunteers will also deliver food if necessary.

Families are encouraged to use the Warrior Food Bank at Calhoun High School, to get in line for the St. Louis Food Bank (SLFB) monthly delivery, apply to SVDP for food assistance from Alton Catholic Charities or call the St. Vincent de Paul Hot Line, 618-310-1141.

Catholic Charities and the St. Louis Food Bank foods are especially good for families. SVDP volunteers will deliver food to those who need it.

SVDPS volunteers worry about the elderly, disabled and home bound who are sheltering in place because of the pandemic and do not have family nearby to assist.

Food insecurity is a growing problem in Calhoun. Normally, 120 families avail themselves of foods delivered by the St. Louis Food Bank. In April, it grew slightly to 130 families. This month, 170 families showed up a 40 percent increase over normal. Even with two trucks, the food ran out.

If you want to volunteer to deliver food, call Dick Lieber at 217-320-8792.

The board of Trustees of the Junior College met Wednesday evening in their office in Godfrey and favorably considered a proposal given them by Monticello to use their facilities and campus.

The Monticello College board of trustees met Sunday and voted to offer educational services this Fall to Junior College District 536 (Lewis-Clark) in addition to the regular enrollment as the two year Women’s college.

This was an unprecedented decision by the Monticello board to open its doors to male students for the first time in its 135 year old history.

Monticello College will continue as a junior women’s college with its same faculty, curriculum and residence program for returning Monti sophomores and new freshmen.

The Monti board felt it could accommodate several hundred day students of the new Junior College.

May 31, 1945 The river steamers Golden Eagle and another boat of the Belle of Calhoun type will be two river boats used in the filming of the new Warner Brothers’ picture, The Frontiersman.

St. Louis is to be the locale of the technicolor picture, starring Errol Flynn, and production is to begin in a few weeks. 90 percent of the picture, co-starring Alan Hale, will be shot along the banks of the Mississippi river with a 40 mile radius of St. Louis.

The picture depicts the early days of the fur trading industry, when St. Louis was the market for trappers of the northwest.

The Frontiersman is rated as a Class A picture and will have a cast of hundreds, including 100 Dakota Indians. The Golden Eagle and the Belle of Calhoun type boat will be converted to appear as the old type wood burners used in the period around 1850.

The Golden Eagle will be repainted and placed in tip-

top shape and two “prop” cities will be built.

Capt. Donald P. Wright, a pioneer riverman of St. Louis, is assisting in the plans. Mark Hellinger will produce and Raoul Walsh will be the director of the film.

The picture will be started within the next few weeks and the company will be on location for two months.

100 Years Ago May 27, 1920 The gardens in Hardin are beginning to look up which reminds us that our citizens are doing their ‘bit’ to help down the high cost of living. We have noticed several fine gardens in Hardin but the one that caps them all, among those that we have seen, is the one belonging to Aunt Sarah Smith and son Sam, at their home. This garden contains nearly everything that grows and that is good to eat, and it is no small garden either. Indeed it is a nice garden and it would make your mouth water to see it.

From Dependence to Interdependence “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him.”

t is a fact of life that we are born completely dependent on others. No newborn could survive without the care and nurturing of its parents, or in their absence, others who take on the task of caring and nurturing for the child. As we grow and develop, we become more and more able to care for ourselves, with the aim of becoming independent. An independent person is one who is relatively able to care for him- or herself without relying on others. But it is an illusion to think that anyone is completely independent.

Even if you earn a living and pay for all of your daily needs, you are probably not the one who grew your food or built your own house. Being independent is in reality being interdependent, that is, depending on others in a mutual relationship where we help each other.

We see this interdependence everywhere: in nature, where animals rely on plants, and vice versa, and in international relations, where countries trade with each other. But this is also an essential facet of human life, where we must learn to negotiate our needs

with others. People marry so that they might help each other in the raising of children and provide each other with the things which together they can provide, but which alone they lack. To use a metaphor from dancing, a couple can do things together, by supporting or lifting each other, for instance, which neither partner could do alone.

Consider the myriad ways in which you rely on others, and pray for guidance in both giving and receiving help and support.

I hope everyone took time over Memorial Day weekend to visit the graves of veterans and other loved ones. If it was not for our veterans that gave the ultimate sacrifice on behalf of our country, we would not be able to enjoy the freedoms that we do. May we never, ever, forget to thank all of those that have served and those that continue to serve in our military, including those that have been injured in battle. Without ALL of these men and women and their service our great country would be a much different place.

On Thursday, I visited the cemeteries and must say many loved ones had been there earlier as the graves were beautifully decorated. Many thanks to the Brussels American Legion for remembering each and every veteran by placing a United States Flag on their grave.

Congratulations to the 2020 graduates of Brussels High School. Namely; Jenna Anderson, Aarion Fuhler, Lucas Hoemmen, Zachary Holmes, Logan Jacobs, Derek Kamp, Tanner Kiel, Macie Kinder, Linsey Ohlendorf, Olivia Pille, Andrew Robeen,William Schleeper, Joseph Vogel and Mitchell Willman.

It was very interesting to read what all their plans for the future include. Just remember “success” is doing more than you need to, before you’re asked to, not because you have to, but because you want to!

Sincere congratulations to all you and a wish for success beyond your expectations!

Congratulations to the eighth grade class of Brussels Community Grade School. Namely; Courtney DeSherlia, Isaiah Katzenberger, Courtland Fuhler, Grace Klaas and Elizabeth

Warren. Their graduation ceremony will be by invitation only on Wednesday, May 27, weather permitting.

Congratulations to the kindergarten class of Brussels District #42. Their graduation was held last Monday, May 18. Graduates were Henry Bick, Max Klaas, Juan Leon-Sebastian and Hailey Meyer.

Congratulations to the eighth grade class of St. Mary’s School in Brussels.

Namely; MacKenzie Baalman, Cheyenne Brundies, Emma Hoemmen, Delani Klaas, Corree Snyders, Joseph Struse, Logan Tepen and Francis Vogel.

I was happy to read in last week’s county paper that the Calhoun Commissioners voted to allocate $4,907 to the Calhoun Co. Volunteer Ambulance Service.

The money was a one-time contribution from the public safety tax fund in order to keep the ambulance service operable. Expenses seem to keep mounting while few economic resources exist.

Wanda Blackwell and Tony Franke spoke earlier of the need for additional funds for the maintenance of upto-code supplies, including items from cot batteries to Narcan. Without the local service in the North, Central and South part of the county, Calhoun residents would have to rely on ambulance service from surrounding areas.

My Saturday helpers and visitors were John and Caleb Carnes from Edwardsville.

Wish I could keep the grass from growing so fast so they could have a weekend off. Many thanks for all their help as usual on the farm.

If you are unable to complete your 2020 Census please be reminded that Katrinna Brangenberg of the Calhoun Senior Center is willing to help. When you

receive your notification with ID number give her a call at 618-576-9567 and she promises to do her best to help you get it completed.

If you are online you can also fill it out at: https:// my2020census.gov/ Please be reminded the St. Louis Food Bank will be distributing food on Wednesday, June 3, right behind the Riverdock Restaurant. Distribution begins at 10 a.m. and continues until noon or until they run out of food. Volunteers are always needed to help bag the food and load into vehicles. Instead of sitting in your cars or pickups waiting, please walk up to the area set up and ask where you can help. Many thanks in advance for this.

Birthday blessings this week to Eric Engle, Trevor Rose, Dan Jenkins, William Schleeper, Melody Shenk, Dana Martin, Fred Kuhn, Kevin Nolte, Kelly Roth and all others celebrating their natal day at this time.

Happy anniversary to my niece and husband, Gary and Tammy Kronable, also Charles and Judy Burch, Gary and Kim Devine and all other couples celebrating a wedding anniversary this week.

This past Thursday, May 21, was the Ascension Of Our Lord Day, so I will close with a prayer in memory of that day.

Dear Jesus, as you ascended into heaven to sit at Your Father’s right hand, we are grateful that You came to walk among us. Your teachings are still relevant today as we obey Your command to share the Gospel to a dying world. Thank you for the promise that You will come again. Until then, we ask that You keep us steadfast in Your Word as we await Your return. In Your name we pray. Amen.

PUBLIC NOTICE/CLASSIFIEDS/NEWS

Qatari pilot training planned for nearby airspace

By JARAD JARMON Calhoun News-Herald Residents in the northern part of Calhoun County might see significant — or at least more than usual — aircraft activity later this year.

It was confirmed Qatari Emiri Air Force (QEAF) pilots will be getting training on F-15QA aircrafts in the region, and pieces of their training will have them in nearby county airspace.

The purpose of the proposed action is to facilitate F-15QA training to a small number of Qatari Emiri Air Force pilots before the aircrafts are delivered to Qatar, a peninsular country on the Persian Gulf.

The government of Qatar is purchasing up

to 48 F-15QA aircraft through the foreign military sales program and has requested that a small number of pilots be trained in the United States before the aircraft are delivered.

According to an environmental assessment of the training, approximately 16 QEAF student pilots would be trained by approximately the same number of Boeing instructor pilots. A variety of maintenance, scheduling, and other Boeing support personnel would be required for this mission.

Also too, approximately five U.S. Air Force personnel would also support the mission for training and logistics, including personnel in the air traffic control (ATC) tower.

According to the U.S. Air Education and Training Command (AETC), the training is

scheduled to begin in the fall of this year and continue for approximately one year, with only portions of the training set to take place in this area.

According to officials, F-15QA pilots would depart from the MidAmerica St. Louis Airport to nearby Military Operations Areas (MOAs) for tactical maneuvering, primarily at medium-to-high altitudes.

Most of the training flights will be conducted at these altitudes, above 7,000 feet; however, a small percentage of flights over the year will take place at low altitudes, but that will only occur in three special areas.

Notably, one of these areas encompasses nearby airspace.

It was stated in the environmental assessment that no chaff, flares, or live weapons

would be used, and supersonic flight would not be conducted. Additionally, no more than four F-15QA aircraft would be operated in a MOA at any given time, and pilots would typically operate within the boundaries of the area for less than one hour.

It was relayed from the AETC that flying will only take place during daylight hours on weekdays. There are plans for very limited flying shortly after sunset, with all landings before 10 p.m. during early 2021.

While it is not common to have other nations’ air forces train in this area, the U.S. Air Force has a long history of hosting other nations’ militaries for training at bases across the country just as they train in theirs, according to those at the AETC.

Illinois Conservation Foundation Census Bureau calls on Calhoun to make 2020 count seeking nominations for 2020 Every 10 years in the United States as mandated by the U.S Constitution, a decennial census is conducted that determines who is counted and where they are counted.

The U.S. Census Bureau has worked diligently since 2010 to ensure that responding to the 2020 Census is easy, safe and important because it is key to shaping the future of communities. Census statistics are used to determine the number of seats each state holds in the U.S. House of Representatives and informs legislative district boundaries.

They also inform how hundreds of billions of dollars in public funds are allocated by state, local and federal lawmakers to communities for public services and infrastructure like hospitals, emergency services, schools and bridges each year over the next 10 years.

The Census Bureau is strongly encouraging the public to respond to the 2020 Census online using a desktop computer, laptop, smartphone or tablet. You can respond online or by phone in English or 12 other languages. There are also 59 nonEnglish language guides and videos (plus American Sign Language) available on 2020census.gov ensuring over 99 percent of U.S. households can respond online in their preferred language. It is vital with the current health and safety guidance being provided by national, state and local health authorities.

When one responds, remember to: Q Respond for where you live as of April 1, 2020.

Q Include everyone who usually lives and sleeps in your home as of April 1, even if they are staying somewhere else temporarily. This includes relatives, friends, roommates and anyone else who lives and sleeps in your home most of the time — even children under age five and babies born on or before April 1, even if they are still in the hospital.

Q Count college students where they live while attending school. If they live on campus in university/college housing such as dorms or fraternity/sorority houses, they will be counted by school officials and do not need to respond. However, if they live off campus in private housing

or apartments, they should respond to the census on their own using their off-campus address even if they are currently staying elsewhere.

Q Find additional answers about “Who to Count� at 2020census.gov.

You can use the Census ID from your invitation or provide your address when you respond.

Responding now will minimize the need for a census taker to follow up and visit your home later this year.

Some households — in areas less likely to respond online — have already received a paper questionnaire along with their first invitation.

Households that have not responded online or by phone should have received a paper questionnaire April 8-16.

Many of the households may be waiting to receive the census mail with their individual census ID number. Census workers that will be bringing the surveys to the doors in areas in that have not received the census survey by postal mail (we do not deliver census information to post office boxes). This process has been delayed because of COVID-19. This activity will resume as soon as they get the green light from the state and federal authorities. The plan is for census workers to bring the surveys and leave them at the door for the households to complete without any in person contact. A large percentage of the households in Calhoun County fall in this category.

The response rate for Calhoun County has been low compared to the rest of the state.

According to national data, 22.3 percent of households responded to the 2020 Census in Calhoun County since invitations began arriving in mailboxes March 12-20. This can be compared to 65 percent who have responded in the Illinois. Calhoun is one of three counties with only a 16-30 percent response rates.

Response rates are updated in the map daily seven days a week at 2020census.gov/en/ response-rates so that the public can see how well their community is doing compared to the nation and other areas.

For more information, visit 2020census.gov.

The 2020 Census is open for self-response online at 2020census.gov, over the phone at 844.330.2020 (English) and 844.468.2020 (Spanish) and by paper through the mail.

good GROWING Keeping you growing with good ideas s University of Illinois Extension

Think about type of garden you want before starting When it comes to planning and creating a garden, you need to determine how you’re going to grow your plants. There are a variety of ways in which this can be done, each with its advantages and disadvantages. The amount of space, as well as your gardening goals, will play a large role in the type of garden you choose.

In-Ground Bed (Traditional) This type of garden bed is dug directly into the ground. Because these beds are using the existing soil, there is typically less start-up work. When it comes to size, the only real limitations to this type of bed is the amount of space you have and how much of your yard you want to convert to a garden. Since these gardens can be large, they can provide plenty of space for wandering plants such as pumpkins, squash, and watermelons.

There are some disadvantages to in-ground beds, though. They generally require more maintenance, particularly weeding. If you have poor soil, the soil may need to be amended. Since the beds are at ground level, you’ll be working at ground level, and depending on the state of your knees and back, that may not be all that appeal-

ing. Finally, the soil can be compacted by repeated foot traffic.

Raised Beds Raised beds are elevated above ground level and often surrounded and contained with boards or other materials. The beds are filled with a mixture of compost and garden soil. These beds are usually 2 to 4 feet wide, 6 to 12 inches high, and as long as you want.

Raised beds are a good option for intense growing in a small area.

Since these beds are raised, it allows you to garden in soils where it may be difficult to grow vegetables such as areas with poor drainage or compaction issues. They have better drainage, and the soils warm-up earlier in the spring compared to in-ground beds.

There also tends to be fewer weed problems, although this can vary depending on the soil you are using to fill the beds.

While there are many advantages to raised beds, there are also some disadvantages.

Raised beds have to be constructed, which can come at the cost of both time and money.

Filling raised beds can be expensive, especially if you are building large beds. Some crops don’t work well in raised beds; for

Brussels food program wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go into summer out the food.

The school has garnered some more savings because of the closure of the school facilities in March, but the cost of a summer meals program was considered not feasible. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think we could take that hit without any reimbursement,â&#x20AC;? Martin said.

It is certainly a loss for these families that would benefit from a financial relief over food, but is also a loss of staff. For school officials, it was a shame, especially at a time when everyone is social distancing. Martin said students picking up their meals was a highlight of the week. The meal pickup was used as a way to maintain a relationship with the kids when school was closed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We still have contact with them (through the meals program),â&#x20AC;? Martin said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We can exchange greetings, we can wave, we can do a little chit-chat. It maintains the relationship, which is, to me, super important because the relationship building with the kids goes a long way toward helping kids be successful.â&#x20AC;?

In their meeting last week, school board members also recognized the death of a longtime bus driver in the district with a moment of silence. Gene Wieneke died May 11. He was a bus driver in the district for 35 years. At his visitation, the bus he drove was featured in the parking lot with black draped over it. Martin mentioned that a fellow driver, Bruce Sevier cleaned up the bus ahead of the visitation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He (Wieneke) was a part of the place,â&#x20AC;? Martin said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He has a number of grand-

By JARAD JARMON Calhoun News-Herald The Brussels School District breakfast and lunch program will not continue into the summer.

There was some consideration of extending the food program beyond the school year, but those hopes have been dashed.

At the beginning of each week, staff hands out bags with meals for breakfast and lunch for the regular school week. Martin said they usually pass out 100 bags of food, enough for five breakfasts and lunches. And now with school over for summer, leaders in the district looked at what can be done during the summer months, as the need is still there for many families.

Brussels Superintendent Mark Martin relayed to school board members last week, however, that the funding is not available to cover the costs associated with extending that program. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Looking into the options, it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t look like any of the summer options offered by the state would work for us,â&#x20AC;?

Martin said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They require a free and reduced lunch count of 50 percent or more, and we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have that.â&#x20AC;?

Depending on the school, the districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s population consists of 30-40 percent free and reduced lunch, making the district ineligible for such state funding. Covering the costs of the program with district money is not viable either, taking into account the expense of the program.

It would take $1,500 a week to do this. Offering a summer lunch program requires the purchase of more food and other costs associated with preparing and handing

children that are in attendance in our district right now. It is just heartbreaking to lose Gene.â&#x20AC;?

Also in the meeting: Q A bid by Brussels Lumber and Hardware for the high school roof work was accepted.

Q It was announced that the Brussels High School will opt to wait in hopes to be able to do a more formal graduation. There was a plan to do a drive-in graduation, but seniors voted in a survey to wait.

Q Megan Murphy was hired as a Brussels Elementary School teacher.
