County works to equip residents with face masks

By JARAD JARMON Calhoun News-Herald Gov. JB Pritzker’s extended stay-at-home order, which included a requirement to wear face masks in public, prompted an interesting question among residents across the state.

What if you don’t have a mask?

It is a question that speaks to the issue nationally. Face masks such as surgical and N95 masks have been a hot commodity, and with that, a strain has been placed on the supply nationally.

And, to the benefit of Calhoun residents, this is a question health officials and residents have been working to solve.

Since COVID-19 first became an issue in the county, individuals from Golden Eagle to Kampsville have been sewing and forming homemade cloth masks to provide some protection to those in the county.

Recently, the Calhoun Health Department has jumped in and started taking a more active role in equipping the local populace with masks of both the homemade and surgical variety.

Thursday, May 1, the date the mask requirement went into effect, staff from the health department stood outside at the intersection of S Park Street and Main Street in Hardin and hand-

ed out surgical masks to drivers passing by.

Jen Fanning, health educator at the Calhoun Health Department, said they had been getting more and more calls and questions regarding the masks and the requirement to wear them, prompting officials to do something about it.

Fanning said they handed out as many as they could in the hour they were at the intersection. “We just wanted to give back to the community,� Fanning said.

Thursday’s efforts were not the end of it either.

The health department will be doing the same again, this time on Saturday. Details on the time they would be handing out masks were not set as of press time, but will be posted on the Calhoun News-Herald Facebook page as soon as they are available.

In addition, the health department now has a basket at the office at 210 French St. with washable homemade masks Fanning has sewed in various sizes for those in the community.

Fanning has been creating masks with the help of her children for a couple of weeks now, leaving a basket at her home for area people to take. She

was inspired by her mother in Massachusetts who started making masks and sending them to hospitals. And also, it was an endeavor that her children latched on to. “It is giving the kids something to do,� she said.

The masks only take a few minutes each, and in two weeks,

Fanning said she made 175 masks. Since word got around that she was making masks, it has been a hit. “Honestly, I can’t keep the bin stocked,� Fanning said.

She has even had people donate fabrics to her.

Now, she will be making masks for both baskets, but it

has been worthwhile endeavor, and one she said she does not see herself stopping anytime soon. “I don’t see an end in sight,� she said.

Fanning is among several in the county that have taken on the responsibility of providing masks to the public.

Mask guidlines released: Locals are getting back into What you should know nature during quarantine

By JARAD JARMON Calhoun News-Herald Calhoun residents along with others across the state will now have to wear a face-covering in public places.

The requirement is a part of a modified stay-at-home order by Gov. JB Pritzker that went into effect May 1.

Here’s what you need to know about the order: Q The face-covering rule applies to any individual who is over age 2 and able to medically tolerate a face-covering (a mask or cloth facecovering).

Q This applies only in public places where a 6-foot social distance cannot be maintained. Face-coverings are required in public indoor spaces such as stores.

Q Establishments like grocery stores should be allowed to turn away a person who is not wearing a face covering. Pritzker suggested that before turning someone away, store owners politely ask customers to securely cover their face with a T-shirt or other piece of clothing.

Q Those who do not have masks are urged to make them. A guide to making a cloth mask can be found

at: www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019ncov/prevent-getting-sick/diy-clothface-coverings.html Things to keep in mind when wearing a mask: Q Medical masks should be reserved for health care workers, according to the World Health Organization.

Q The mask should come all the way up, close to the bridge of your nose, and all the way down under your chin. The mask should also be snug on the face without gaps at the sides.

Q Avoid touching the mask while wearing it.

Q After removal or whenever a used mask is inadvertently touched, clean hands using an alcohol-based hand rub or soap and water if hands are visibly dirty.

Q Use the ties or loops to put the mask on and pull it off. Don’t touch the front of the mask when you take it off.

Q Wash and dry your cloth mask daily and keep it in a clean, dry place.

Q The mask is not an impenetrable safeguard. Don’t have a false sense of security from wearing the mask.

By JARAD JARMON Calhoun News-Herald It can be easy to dwell on the hardships the COVID-19 pandemic has wrought.

Among a host of other things, the virus has taken away a lot of the fun activities people typically take part in on a daily basis, especially as the weather warms this time of year.

Berg-Vogel said.

The McCully Heritage Project is a natural area made up of 940 acres of hills and hollows in Calhoun, offering miles of hiking and horse back riding trails, two ponds for fishing and turtle watching, a wetland, forests and native grasslands.

Berg-Vogel acknowledged that this time of the year, they often see people out with one goal in mind: mushroom hunting. It is the season for morel mushroom hunting. “Nothing is going to stop people from looking for mushrooms,� BergVogel said.

Even before the peak of this mushroom season hit, though, she noticed a growing number of people utilizing the land for hiking. “We did see sort of an uptick, especially for that time of year,� she said. “I do think people are wanting to go out and do things.�

When Gov. JB Pritzker handed down the COVID-19 related orders, leaders at the McCully Heritage Project decided to continue offering a place for people to hike and horse ride amid this pandemic. “Howard McCully, when he founded the place, he wanted people to be able to come here and enjoy it — (See, QUARANTINE, A2)

According to the Illinois Department of Public Health and the Calhoun County Health Department, the county has only seen one reported test positive case of the virus, as of Monday afternoon, and the local individual that contracted COVID-19 has since recovered, but it is not the time to give up on those safety measures individuals have been practicing for weeks — namely social distancing.

Sandy Teichmann, Calhoun Health Department administrator, said she has heard comments regarding relaxing these measures both at personal and state level.

Illinois FOIC Act might be unconstitutional

By BILL HOAGLAND The Illinois Firearm Owners Identification Card Act has been in effect for years.

This act requires that all persons in Illinois who are in the possession of a firearm or ammunition have a Firearm Owners Identification Card (FOID) in their possession as well or face criminal penalties. For a lot of reasons, the act has become unpopular with gun owners. The most recent issue has to do with getting a renewed card in a timely manner.

But there is a bigger legal issue regarding the act that at this point is unresolved.

That issue is highlighted in the recent Illinois Supreme Court decision of People vs.

Brown, which was rendered April 2, 2020. Here are the basic facts involved in this case: Vivian Brown is a divorced woman living in a rural area of White County, Illinois.

Her ex-husband, for whatever reason, apparently told the White County Sheriff’s Office that she was shooting a gun inside her home and that something needed to be done. The Sheriff investigated and while they found a .22 caliber rifle in her home, there was no evidence that it had been fired recently.

Unfortunately for Ms. Brown, she did not have a

Firearm Owners Identification Card in her possession so she was criminally charged with violation of the act because she had this gun in her possession in her home. If she had applied for a FOID, she would have qualified for a card, but she never got around to it after her husband left home. She said she had the gun because she lived alone and had it for her self-protection.

Ms. Brown is not the only person in Illinois who has a gun in their home for selfprotection but no FOID card.

The criminal case against Ms. Brown for possession of a gun without a FOID was tried in the Circuit Court of White County. The presiding circuit judge ruled in essence that the act violated the Second and Fourteenth Amendments to the US Constitution and Article I, Section 22 of the Illinois Constitution of 1970.

Citing the case of District of Columbia vs. Heller, the judge held, correctly I think, that gun owners have a constitutional right to possess a firearm in their homes for self-protection and to the extent that the act infringes on that basic right, the act is unconstitutional.

The State appealed this decision directly to the Illinois Supreme Court.

Three weeks ago, the majority of the Illinois Supreme Court reversed the decision of the Circuit Court and remanded the case to White County, stating in essence that local courts should avoid deciding constitutional issues when there is another legal basis to use for a decision. In short, the majority of the court decided to sidestep the issue.

Justice Lloyd Karmeier, in a dissenting opinion, felt the court should have met the issue head-on and decided the case on the issue of whether the Illinois Fireowners Identification Card Act violates the US Constitution and Illinois Constitution.

And let’s take this a step further: in my view, as long as the US Supreme Court decision of Heller is not overruled and as long as the Second Amendment is not amended down the road, gun owners in Illinois who would otherwise qualify for an Illinois FOID have a constitutional right to possess

a firearm in their homes for self-protection, regardless of whether they have a FOID. There are too many lawabiding people in Illinois who, like Ms. Brown, have a gun in the family home for self-protection but do not have a FOID, such as a widow who never bothered to get a FOID after her husband died.

Unfortunately, the act makes no exception for homeowners. The Illinois Supreme Court should have decided the constitutional issue in this case on its merits.

––––––––––––––––––– Q Bill Hoagland has practiced law in Alton for more than 50 years, but he has spent more than 70 years hunting, fishing and generally being in the great outdoors. His wife, Annie, shares his love of the outdoor life.

Much of their spare time is spent on their farm in Calhoun County.

Bill can be reached at billhoagland70@gmail.com.

Despite all of this, traffic to the area has not been impacted much. Hikers are still going out to stretch their legs and get a gander at the wildlife on the premises — some of which is new this season.

Along the trails, guests at the McCully Heritage Project have recently been greeted by an exciting new resident of the site: the beaver. A beaver and some babies, or kits as they are commonly called, have reportedly found residence on the property in the wetlands.

“We have had beavers out there before, but they have never decided to stay,” Berg-

Vogel said.

Currently, portions of the wetlands are closed off.

Because of recent beaver activity, water levels have risen in the wetlands, flooding walkways. Even still, the beaver dam and the den are visible along the trails through the wetlands which are still traversable.

It is certain that whatever their reason for heading out to the McCully Heritage Project, locals are making sure to stay positive and stay active amid this pandemic.

“It is really heartening,” the McCully director said of the crowds.

The grounds at the McCully Heritage Project are open from dawn to dusk for hiking. More information on the goings on at the McCully Heritage Project can be found on their Facebook page.

St. Louis. So, what is happening there affects us also,” Teichmann said. “…I am very nervous about that.”

On a more local level, Calhoun County residents should also remain mindful that while numbers in Calhoun are staying low, the numbers in surrounding counties, namely Jersey and Madison, continue to climb. At the time of publication, Jersey County Health Department was reporting 14 positive cases of COVID-19 (an increase of two across the

week), one death and nine total recoveries. Greene County reported a total of three positive cases with two total recoveries and no deaths as of May 1. On May 4, Madison County reported 369 total confirmed cases with 26 deaths and 102 total recoveries.

Across the state, a total of 61,499 have tested positive for COVID-19, as of Monday afternoon. Of that number, 2,618 have died. In total, 319,313 tests have been performed.

Nature (Continued from A1) enjoy where he lived and what we built,” Berg-Vogel said. “We really are fulfilling our mission by remaining open and allowing this access to people — especially now in what seems like dark times to be able to get out.”

This did change some of the operations at the site though, just to ensure people are safe. They closed off the pavilion and the play set, “which is really hard on the kids,” Berg-Vogel said.

They also barred social gatherings and camping on the premises. This included group horse rides.

(Continued from A1) “I want to remind people that, at the beginning, we would consider this whole thing a success if there really was just one in the county or some very low number,” Teichmann said.

She attributed this number partly to those measures like social distancing.

Teichmann said she could see a scenario where parts of the state open up earlier if done responsibly, as has been discussed regionally, but this pandemic is not over.

“I don’t think we have even peaked yet,” Teichmann said.

“I wholly believe that there are going to be more positive in the county. I would love to be proven wrong.”

Teichmann is especially nervous with Missouri officials loosening restrictions on their state.

“So many of our people work in St. Louis and go to

Masks

(Continued from A1) Q Replace masks as soon as they become damp with a new clean, dry mask.

Q Do not re-use singleuse masks. Discard singleuse masks after each use and dispose of them immediately upon removal.

Q According to the Centers for Disease Control, cloth face coverings should fit snugly but comfortably against the side of the face; be secured with ties or ear loops; include multiple layers of fabric; allow for breathing without restriction and be able to be laundered and machine dried without damage or change to shape.

OPINION

Hardin, Illinois

Outdoor Truths: Gary Miller

Most important things in life call for greatest preparation I was unable to scout before opening day, but I knew where the turkeys loved to roost.

So, I proceeded to set up my decoys with a little bit of faith and a little bit of reason.

As daylight approached, I tried to wake up a nearby gobbler with a soft yelp.

Nothing answered my call until a few minutes later. It was a hen who decided to join my motionless pair of a hen and jake.

Shortly thereafter, I heard a gobble from an unexpected direction. He was quite a distance away, so I was unsure as to whether he would make it to me before he was intercepted by another hen.

What I didn’t realize at the time was that my lone hen was on her way to do just that.

They met about two hundred yards away, but within eyeshot of me and my decoys.

For the next hour this tom would chase the hen and then stop and posture for my decoys, hoping his flexing would entice my fake hen over to his side. His strutting looked like a pose-down at the Arnold Classic. We got the view from the front, back and sides.

Of course, nothing worked, much to his dismay. About an hour later, the live hen that had led him away was now leading him right toward my setup. After a few minutes of following her, with intermediate flex sessions, he finally came to about thirtyfive yards away. He ultimately landed in pieces on my grill – brushed with butter and lightly salted.

What I will remember most about this hunt was how my set-up allowed me to see the

action from so far away without being spotted.

I felt like I was watching it all transpire from some sort of lofted position.

In my hunting world, it’s rare to be able to take in so much of the pre-shot activity. Normally the action and reaction time is short and to the point. This was just the opposite. In fact, it took so long, and I had so much time to plan my shot, that any nervousness was negligible.

I was as ready and prepared as possible and therefore there was nothing else to do but to trust my shot. I find in most other venues this works as well. If I am well prepared, the chances of missing my goal are minimal.

And thorough preparation takes time. The problem for most of us is that we give our time to things that move at breakneck speed and to things that can be accomplished in a minimal amount of effort. If you think about it, however, the most important things in life call for the greatest preparation and thus for the greatest amount of our time. Let’s spend our time wisely.

Happy Birthday Corner

The Illinois Division of Highways, District 8 of East St. Louis has notified the Calhoun News that approval has been given to Corridor B as the recommended Corridor for the supplemental free way which someday may be built from Jacksonville south to Alton.

The proposed improvement would consist of highway construction on the new alignment from the Central Illinois Freeway, southwest of Jacksonville, and would generally follow parallel to Illinois route 267, south to route 140 east of Alton.

The Central Illinois Freeway, also under consideration, would run west from Springfield to the Quincy area, as now proposed.

However, all of these freeways have been delayed or cancelled due to the recent Supreme Court ruling that the Highway Trust Commission, which had been formed to finance and administer such freeways, which declared that body unconstitutional.

The Highway Division advised that maps, sketches and other information about the matter to determination of the corridor location are available for public inspection at the office of the District Engineer,

25 Years Ago May 10, 1995 More than 600 people attended Sunday’s Antique Car and Quilt Show at the Calhoun County Fairgrounds in Hardin. Calhoun’s royalty, Miss Calhoun County and Little Miss Calhoun county were in attendance during the afternoon and assisted with award presentations.

Queen Anne Pluester presented car trophies, including the Queen’s Choice Award.

She also selected her favorite quilt, a double wedding ring quilt, made by Bessie Webster of Michael. Visitors were invited to select favorite quilts, and quilt receiving that honor was one, white-on-white, made by Ati Ankney of Kampsville. A close second in the voting was a quilt, praying hands, made

by St. Mary’s Altar Society in Brussels, and owned by Paul and Patsy Hoemmen.

Calhoun Historical Society President L.E. Retzer, expressed appreciation for all those who helped in any way with the success of the show and for the beautiful weather.

Results of the auto show will be printed in a later edition of the News.

evening. It was the first meeting of the beginning of the administration of the new set of trustees, namely, C.C. Worthy, J.E. Kinman and Claude Ruyle, who were elected at the annual spring election in April. The new members took their seats and entered upon their duties filled with a full determination to better our little village and to give our town their personal attention and they ask that the citizens join them in this matter by feeling free, at any time, to express their ideas and opinions and to call their attention to things that would have a tendency to push Hardin forward. They are the people’s servants and they want the people to realize this fact. At their meeting Saturday night they made an order enforcing the “Curfew Law” compelling all children under the age of 15 years, unless accompanied by their parents, to be off the streets and at home by eight o’clock during the winter months and nine o’clock during the summer months. The President of the Board, at the Saturday evening meeting, appointed Peter J. Carpenter as marshal for the village of Hardin for the ensuing year.

Wear the World Loosely Rull Brothers Hardin, IL

“Wear the world as a loose garment, which touches us in a few places and there lightly.”

St. Francis of Assisi

T

he idea of wearing the world loosely is meant to convey the idea that we should take things in stride and give up our rigidly held ideas about how things should be. No doubt things are unfolding exactly as they should, and our limited minds cannot always see the big picture. On the surface, and to our egocentric points of view, things often seem wrong or even absurd, but often we cannot comprehend the larger picture, nor do we always know the purpose that God has for us in the world. We should strive to trust in God and try to do his will with a sense of resignation for all the messiness and seeming injustice in the world. And this doesn’t mean that we just give up, but rather that we try to be effective in the world

Lesa Coughlin, RN Memory Care Manager

Kim Dean LPN

while also realizing that we are finite, limited creatures with narrow views and debilitating weaknesses.

Wearing the world loosely entails moving through the world with ease and the realization that much of what we do will not reach the goals which we had in mind, and yet God is still in his heaven and all is right with the world.

by Carol Sue Carnes Q 618-883-2333

What a nice surprise to see my granddaughter, Ashley Kirn, featured on Channel 5 Today in St. Louis this morning as the featured Sunrise Shoutout to the “Nurse of the Day!” Ashley works at SSM St. Charles in the Intensive Care COVID-19 Unit. She has worked in the Intensive Care Unit in St. Charles now for 10 years. But, never in a time like this!

Congratulations to Jordan Ohlendorf, a recent graduate of Missouri Baptist University in St. Louis. He graduated with a bachelor of science degree in accounting and a minor in business administration. Jordan is the son of John and Mary Ohlendorf of Brussels.

Congratulations to Darrell and Judy Coughlin of Jerseyville on their recent 60th wedding anniversary. They celebrated with a dinner at their daughter’s home in Carrollton. Many more “happy and healthy ones” Darrell and Judy.

Upon taking a drive to town and the cemetery yesterday, I noticed all the beautiful enlarged photos of Brussels Community High School graduates. Today, I saw on Facebook where many donated to this project. They thanked the towns for allowing this and even approval from Ameren to attach to their poles. Bonnie Snyders of Batchtown made the senior signs with the help of many others that helped hang the signs, many thanks to all of you for making this possible.

Brussels High School graduates are 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.

Calhoun High School has done the same thing for their 21 students.

Congratulations to all of them. The senior class of 2020 may have had a most unusual year, but having gone through this will certainly make them that much stronger.

My Saturday weekly workers on the farm were John and Caleb Carnes. Many thanks once again for all they accomplished.

Now with Mother’s Day this coming Sunday, I would like to wish all the mothers a special day. This day was first celebrated in 1908 when Anna Jarvis held a memorial for her mother at St. Andrew’s Methodist Church in Grafton, W.V. It wasn’t until 1914 that Woodrow Wilson signed a proclamation designating Mother’s Day to be held on the second Sunday in May as a national holiday to honor all mothers. In memory of my mother, who passed away 43 long years ago, (Edith Willenburg-Bopp) and for all other mothers who have passed away, I dedicate this poem: If Roses grow in heaven Lord, please pick a bunch for me, place them in my mother’s arms and tell her they’re from me.

Tell her that I love and miss her and when she turns to smile, Place a kiss upon her cheek and hold her for a while.

Remembering her is easy, I do it every day.

But there is still an ache in my heart that will never go away.

(Poem written by Emily Brandwin) Lots of videos are being posted of children in the area taking part in the ice bucket challenge. With such a beautiful weekend, I’m sure it was a great time to do this. Also

Q Batchtown News

by Marcy Klockenkemper Q 618-396-2468

Mother’s Day is this Sunday, May 10.

We will all be remembering our mothers in various ways. Take note of the quote: “God could not be everywhere and therefore He made mothers.”

Happy Mother’s Day to all our readers. Mother’s Day visits with families will be held with more caution this year but we’ll get our intentions of love and appreciation across to our mothers.

The Batchtown Fill Inn Station’s present hours of operation are: Monday through Friday, May 4-8 from 11a.m. to 8 p.m. and Saturday and Sunday, Mother’s Day weekend, beginning at 10 a.m. with a limited breakfast. Orders will be taken at the window from 3-8 p.m. The store is open with one person entering at a time. Ice cream and pizza are available from the window.

Roger and Angel Rhodes and their grandsons, Scotty and Owen, enjoyed Mark

Twin Park over the weekend. They had a good time.

Rosemary (Anderson) Surgeon, age 93, passed away Apr. 30 at her home in Godfrey. Rosemary and her husband John grew up in Calhoun County, later lived in Grafton. Rosemary later lived in Godfrey after John passed away. She was a homemaker, mother, and grandmother. She had a good sense of humor and was a kind and caring person.

Mia Hillen celebrated her eighth birthday Sunday. She had a Harry Potter birthday with her parents Travis and Allison Hillen and siblings, Eden, Ava and Bennett. Grandparents, Bernie and Robin Hillen, attended Mia’s special day.

Happy birthday Mia. Have a great year.

Luke and Rochelle Hillen and children, Reese, Roman, Lennox and Leland, came to visit their grandparents, Bernie and Robin Hillen, last Thursday, and enjoyed the great

outdoors playing and having fun.

Robin Hillen visited her parents, Lowell and Mary Ann Bailey Saturday, and mowed the grass for them while she was there.

––––––––––––––––––– The Unexpected Gift She stood there in the meadow With a sweet bouquet Some yellow daisies that she had plucked While out to play.

Her eyes with many twinkles danced Out of the blue.

“I love you Mommy dear.” She said.

These are for you!

My heart welled up and over For a mite so small Had given me her love… the gift Greater than all!

A kiss, a hug, then off she went Her merry way; How did her young heart know that it Was Mother’s Day? — Georgia B. Adams

Q Kampsville News

by Diane Brangenberg Q 618-653-4520

If you haven’t driven through Hardin yet and looked at the senior banners, you’re definitely going to want to!

It is such a wonderful tribute to the 2020 graduates! My daughter, granddaughter and I very much enjoyed driving through and reading each of them. Bonnie Snyders, you did a wonderful job making them.

The Landing is now open for carry-out breakfast and lunch on Saturday and Sundays, and they also now have awesome milk shakes.

It’s wonderful to see Kampsville coming alive again.

Saturday afternoon, St. John’s Lutheran Church was able to have a small service and communion in the parking lot at the church. We all stayed in our cars with the windows down and enjoyed Pastor Jacobson his message and prayers.

He then distributed communion to us at our vehi-

cles. My granddaughter Reagan was with me, and I told her when we left that this needs to be wrote in her journal that I gave her at the beginning of this because it’s history that we are living and the way to tell others about history is to document it. It was very nice to have fellowship, if even by distancing.

Don’t forget McCully’s Heritage Project is open for hiking and fishing. This is a hidden gem here in Calhoun! Don’t forget no large groups and practice social distancing. Leaving a donation is also nice.

As this continues on, please continue sending cards to the residents at Calhoun Care Center at 1 Myrtle Lane, Hardin, IL 62047.

I’ve seen lots of little ones enjoying the creek here in Kampsville. I don’t think there’s a kid in town who doesn’t like catching craw-

dads in that creek. My kids loved to do it when they were little.

Happy birthday to Stephanie Bick on the May 2 and Amanda Waters on May 3.

Kiarra Meza celebrated her 16th birthday on May 4.

Remember: when taking the Kampsville Ferry, please remain in your cars or on your motorcycle for the safety of our ferry workers.

The hummingbirds are back and I’m sure we’re all enjoying them. Unfortunately, the other thing that’s back is the buffalo gnats, so now besides the hand sanitizer we are dousing ourselves in, we will also smell like vanilla or buggins.

Please continue prayers for Linda Herkert, Cindy Smith, Jan Clore, Jim Hill, Joe Gress, Darren Kress, Bill Schumann, Kurt Roth and Eileen Gardner, as well as everyone during this COVID-19 pandemic.

Hardin, Illinois

School districts try to adapt to ever-changing graduation guidelines

By JARAD JARMON Calhoun News-Herald COVID-19 and the response to the pandemic has been ever-changing since the virus infiltrated in the United States.

Guidelines and updates on the virus are changing daily, and in some cases hourly. This has made planning any kind of event in the month of May a challenge. This is no less the case for those planning what is considered a milestone celebration in a personâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life: graduation.

The school year is reaching its end, and leaders of local school districts are still struggling to work out what their graduation will look like, even as state officials continue to change the guidelines for how schools can go about hosting their graduations, frustrating local officials. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is just confusing,â&#x20AC;?

Brussels Superintendent Mark Martin said of the guidelines. â&#x20AC;&#x153;â&#x20AC;ŚThe sand keeps shifting.â&#x20AC;?

Last week, it was stated that there would be no in-person graduation across the state, but a few days later, that was tweaked.

Now, guidance from Illinois Department of Public Health and Illinois State Board of Education is more individualistic. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Decisions around whether or not to host safe and socially distanced graduation ceremonies will remain at the discretion of local school boards and superintendents,â&#x20AC;? a statement from the two agencies read. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Districts and schools may

choose to postpone graduation ceremonies, although it is not known when large-scale inperson events will be able to be safely held.â&#x20AC;?

In Brussels, the hope that this pandemic and the state orders that follow will end soon has been dashed. Instead, school leaders are opting to do a Drive-In graduation, as OKâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d by the state, at the baseball field for its 14 seniors on May 23 with a rainy day date of May 30. If it were a bigger class, this would not be possible, Martin noted. They initially hoped to do something more traditional and personal in June, but they have â&#x20AC;&#x153;given up on thinking this will endâ&#x20AC;? anytime soon, Martin said.

Small graduations for kindergarteners and eighthgraders are probably going to take place a week before the Brussels High School graduation in May. Current plans could change, though, especially with the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s track record so far, he added. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All we can say is we will see,â&#x20AC;? Martin said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;â&#x20AC;Ś(A virtual ceremony) may be the only option left.â&#x20AC;?

In Calhoun, the graduation was postponed with hopes that things will change later in the summer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We will postpone graduation due to the governorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s orders,â&#x20AC;? Calhoun Superintendent Kate Sievers said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We will send out two tentative dates of when we might be able to hold graduation.â&#x20AC;?

Graduation for Calhounâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 22 seniors has been scheduled

for June 24 with an optional date in July. Should either of those fall through because of guidelines regarding COVID19, school officials might have to look toward a different option, Calhoun High School Principal Cheri Burris indicated.

Burris mirrored sentiments from Martin, noting it was frustrating that plans are continually getting nixed because of changing guidelines.

The goal in the long run is to organize a graduation that is as personal as possible for these students â&#x20AC;&#x201D; students who, Burris said, have taken this year in stride all things considered. She said the students have been great, finding creative ways in which to entertain one another, stay connected and continue to remain positive.

According to the recent guidelines, virtual events are strongly encouraged, although it is recognized this may not be possible in all situations.

Allowable in-person graduation events include: Q Drive-in â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Students, and only their immediate family members who are staying at home together, should arrive and remain in cars for the entire ceremony. Before or after the ceremony, students may exit their cars individually, in their cap and gown if available, to have photos taken so long as social distancing requirements are followed. These ceremonies can be done at drive-in movie theaters, school parking lots, stadium parking lots or other large parking lot venues that could be exclusively

used for the graduation event.

Multiple ceremonies may be needed depending on the class size. Large projected screens and sound equipment may be required. Students and families without vehicles would need alternative accommodations and transportation that complies with social distancing requirements.

Q Drive-through â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Students, and only their immediate family members who are staying at home together, should arrive in waves and leave after their individual recognition. Students may exit the car individually, in their cap and gown if available, to have a photo taken. These events will require precise scheduling, traffic control, and school safety personnel, etc. and may be appropriate for small to medium-sized graduating classes in less trafficked areas.

Q Individualized ceremony at the school â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Individual students may come to the school at prearranged times to walk across a stage in their cap and gown and have a photo taken.

This may also be coordinated with time for students to pick up any personal belongings at the school. All efforts must be made to ensure social distancing and prevent mass gatherings of people.

Q Individualized ceremony â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Visit each graduateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s home, while remaining outside and at least six feet away, to congratulate and take photos of each graduate in their cap and gown and holding their diploma. This type of recognition may need to be conducted over the course of several days

depending on the class size.

High school graduation is not the only end-ofthe-school-year event on the minds of local school officials.

Thursday, May 7, Calhoun High School seniors will be taking part in a virtual senior banquet. On Thursday, teachers and staff will be handing out meals at the Hardin Drive-In that seniors and their families can take home and eat while watching a video of the announcements that would regularly be made at the banquet posted to the Calhoun School District website.

In Calhoun, the eighth-

grade promotion ceremony is scheduled, as of now, for the day before the preliminary high school graduation dates.

Burris noted other events like prom are also being worked out for a later date possibly in July. In Brussels, the focus has been on graduation, but school leaders still hope to do some sort of prom-like event for the students.

Martin said he hopes for more clarity as to what the district can and canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do closer to June, when they had initially hoped to host their graduation ceremony.
