Two Rivers Crime Stoppers fundraise for economic boost By CONNOR ASHLOCK Calhoun News-Herald Now that the state has entered Phase 5 of Gov. JB Pritzker’s Restore Illinois plan, Two Rivers Crime Stoppers has recently begun an effort to bring an economic boost to the tri-county region. The past year has brought a major disturbance in local economic activity, which immediately impacts businesses and other areas of community life in Calhoun, Greene and Jersey counties. Two Rivers Crime Stoppers, which is composed of individuals whose families live and own businesses in the region, are aware of this situation and have thus initiated an effort to stimulate the area back to its pre-pandemic economic activity. “Due to the past year’s pandemic situation, our local businesses have fallen way short of their financial goals,” Two Rivers Crime Stoppers member Terry Woelfel said. “Therefore, Crime Stoppers has made it a priority to assist businesses in the tri-county area by putting together a gift certificate fundraiser.” As Woelfel shared, the local organiza-

tion is purchasing gift certificates from local businesses and plans to raffle them off later this year on Sept. 16. “We’re hoping to raise $2,500 in gift certificates in our raffle ticket sales,” Woelfel noted. What Crime Stoppers volunteers have been doing is visiting businesses in Calhoun, Greene and Jersey counties and explaining to business owners how the fundraiser works. Crime Stoppers is purchasing a $25 gift certificate from the business and in turn asks for a $25 gift certificate donation, so when all is said and done, the Crime Stoppers volunteer is walking out of the business with $50 in gift certificates. “Our goal is to help the businesses who have struggled in the pandemic to get back on their feet,” Woelfel said. According to Woelfel, thus far he has visited about 25 businesses and has yet to be turned down by a business owner. “They all think it is a win-win,” Woelfel said. “I had a lady say to me the other day, ‘Why wouldn’t I want to do this?’” Woelfel added that Crime Stoppers is

only gathering gift certificates from local businesses in an effort to make sure the economic activity stays close to home. “We all live here. We all have to take care of each other,” Woelfel said. How Crime Stoppers plans to divvy out the certificates is by grouping a variety of certificates in bundles and raffling off those bundles at a cost of $10 a ticket or $25 for three tickets. The first place bundle will be worth $500, the second place $250 and the third place $100, with additional gift certificates being drawn for after the big prizes have been awarded. “We’re going to keep drawing until they’re all gone,” Woelfel noted. Two Rivers Crime Stoppers was like businesses last year in that they felt the economic impact of the pandemic on their everyday activities. The four-year-old organization, which is volunteer-led and funded by donations and fundraisers, exists mainly to gather anonymous tips from callers that are forwarded to county law enforcement agencies. If an arrest is made from a tip, the tipster is given a cash award dependent on the severity of the crime.

SCHOOL

Additionally, the non-profit organization, though not immediately affiliated with law enforcement, will honor officers for heroic actions that distinguish them among their peers and colleagues, as was the case when they awarded Jersey County Sheriff’s Deputy Justin Decker for rescuing the life of a man in Grafton back in 2018 who found himself caught up in floodwaters. Given the fact that COVID impacted their normal operations, Crime Stoppers can sympathize with local businesses who are constantly supporting fundraisers in their community but don’t always see the favor returned. In light of this, Woelfel noted that this is Crime Stoppers’ way of giving back to the businesses while trying to support itself. “We didn’t have any fundraisers last year because of the pandemic and neither did a lot of other people, but a lot of organizations ask and never give back, and I think this is our way of giving back,” Woelfel said. Those with questions or who want to reach out regarding their own businesses can contact Woelfel at 618-781-2862.

Community continues efforts to beautify their town By +$/(< ',67(5+2)7 Calhoun News-Herald The village of Kampsville is on a mission to beautify and declutter their town. Kampsville’s “Clean Up Weekend,” proved to be a success for the residents’ recent efforts to make improvements to the town. “It went amazing; we had filled up two 40-yard dumpsters and that were compacted in with a backhoe,” Mayor Wade Gibson of Kampsville said. The clean up event went so well, public use of the dumpsters was extended to over a week after the initial weekend. Gibson said Robert Sanders Waste Systems was happy to lend the village some dumpsters for the weekend and beyond. “We just gave Bob a call, and he was more than willing

to help us. We set a schedule and off we went,” Gibson said. As of late, the town had started to accumulate a lot of clutter in front of residents’ houses, as well as businesses and down by the riverfront. Gibson said the clean up was much needed; it hadn’t happened in the last 20 years. “We wanted to start encouragement and try and get more of a synergy,” Gibson said. “And if they saw that we were willing to clean up...we wanted to give them the ability to take care of themselves.” Gibson acknowledges that outside of residents’ personal property, public areas needed a thorough decluttering. “The village itself has things it needs to clean up before it starts pointing fingers at others,” Gibson said.

All of this effort is pursuit of the “beautification of our little village,” Gibson explained. “The board and myself feel like it’s time to be proud of where we live and what we represent,” Gibson added. The mayor aims to make the clean up weekend an annual event. Residents responded positively and many utilized the dumpsters that were provided. “Our goal is to never let our village get back into the condition that it has been in,” Gibson said. “We want to keep everything cleaned up as we go.” If residents didn’t get their trash cleaned up during the allotted clean up time, different measures will be used to ensure the village is tidied up in a timely manner.

t has been years since the floor has seen a complete refinish, but the Brussels school district essentially has a new and improved gym floor – and all with the help of the same family that did the job before. Allred Floor Service, an Effingham-based business consisting of Jaron and Jim Allred and Eric Garven, restriped and refinished the gym floor following various failed internal district attempts to do so. “This is what you get when you hire somebody who knows what they are doing,” Superintendent Mark Martin said. “For years, we have tried to band-aid it – just us. People have tried to show us how to apply the chemicals, and it never turned out. Some people did better than others, but not like this. We tried to do it the last couple of years, and the results are way less than what we wanted.”

Coupled with the complexity of the project, the lack of air conditioning in the gym and the humidity causes problems with the chemicals. “Humidity goes up, and the stuff does not dry appropriately,” Martin said. It was not only the humidity, though. “Some of the problems we ran into were bubbling and little snake-like bubbles in the finish,” Martin said. “He (Jim Allred with Allred Floor Services) said, ‘Part of your problem was, in the old days, the finishes were all oil-based. We are putting down a water-based product, so when you grind down into the old, you are probably hitting the oil base, and when you put down a water-based finish, you are going to get squiggles and bubbles.’” Most combinations of chemicals are made with air conditioning in mind. “We had to rent a generator, because here equipment requires more power than we have, just for general use in the gym, so it is quite an undertaking,” Martin said.

Locals party on despite stormy weather

Let’s Cook!

LINDA HOSKINS A reader from Ellsinore, Mo., sent this recipe, and it sounds delish, and so easy to make too! Eileen Raymer says “this is my version of a delicious pie and easy to make.” Million Dollar Pie Submitted by Eileen Raymer Q 1 16 oz can crushed pineapple, drained Q 1 8 oz container whipped topping, softened Q 1 4-serving size instant vanilla pudding Q graham cracker pie shell (8 or 9”) Q 1/4 cup chopped pecans Mix together pineapple, whipped topping and dry pudding mix. Pour into graham cracker pie shell.

Sprinkle with nuts. Cover with the plastic cover the pie shell came in, inverted. Refrigerate for at least three hours or overnight. ––––––––––––––––––– How easy is that? When Eileen said this was her “version” of Million Dollar Pie, I wondered what other versions are out there. I googled it, and found quite a few different ways to make Million Dollar Pie. Some call for sweetened condensed milk, some have coconut. After looking them over, I think I would like the above version the best. One thing I did see when looking at all the recipes, is to garnish the pie with maraschino cherries. That would look pretty on

the above pie! I am one of those people who avoid chopping onions as much as possible. I cry copious amounts of tears if I am even near an onion being chopped. I read this hack for chopping onions without tears and it really worked! Freeze the onion for 15 to 20 minutes, then place on a cutting under your range hood with the fan on, and start chopping away! Now, to be honest, my eyes still smarted a little bit, but no tears. If you have a recipe or a cooking hint to share, please send to letscook!@ heraldpubs.com or mail to Mascoutah Herald, PO Box C, Mascoutah IL 62258. Thanks and Happy Cooking!

Who is operating those UFOs if they aren’t aliens? By BILL HOAGLAND I am writing this column on June 24. Maybe I am jumping the gun — the UFO disclosure report from the government is due by tomorrow at 5 p.m., but I think we already know that there aren’t going to be any alien bodies or spacecraft debris dumped on the table during this disclosure. In fact, the government is apparently not even going to “admit or deny” that aliens might be operating those UFOs that are streaking across our TV screens. Here’s my question: Does anyone seriously believe that a human could survive being in a spaceship performing the maneuvers we are seeing on the screen? At least the government has admitted that what we are seeing in these leaked videos are not optical illusions; they are really happening. But the government just won’t take that next step and admit that there is a reasonable possibility that aliens are involved with what we are seeing. If the government is not willing to take that next step, maybe we should move on and take a second look at what normal people here on the ground are seeing; maybe those who have had a UFO experience “in their own backyards” should be given more credibility and respect. I know a half-dozen people who have seen a UFO “up close.” These people have two things in common: First, they all remember the experience like it happened yesterday. Second, all of them were reluctant to tell anyone about their experience because of anticipated ridicule. So let’s talk about one of these half-dozen people that I know who has seen a UFO

Gym

(Continued from A1) And the people who tackled the project were up to the challenge, having done so years ago in the ‘50s and ‘60s. Notably, their work is still a fixture on the wall of the gym. “They are the ones who did the original old one up there on the wall, and when they came down here to bid it, the fella who’s running the company now brought his dad with him, because he remembered being here with his dad way back when, when they did that.” Martin said the gym brought back memories for the two.

“up close.” This particular person is a long time friend whom I know to be remarkably observant and intelligent. He has all his teeth, and he is not living hand to mouth down in the Ozarks. In fact, he has a doctorate degree in microbiology – a mental endeavor way beyond my pay grade. For convenience, let’s call him “Bob” although that is not his real name. It happened about 1 a.m., in late December 1951. It was a clear night. Bob was driving from Memphis to his dad’s place on Maddox Lake in Arkansas. He was just coming into Forrest City, Ark., when he saw a large, cigarshaped object of some sort to his right hovering about 80 to 90 feet above the ground in a field 150 yards away. This object was glowing in a blue-white light similar to a modern LED light. As he watched, this object slowly descended to about 4 feet above the ground along a line of trees as it continued moving slowly to the west. There were no windows on this object and no flashing or blinking lights. It made no sound and had no visible sign of propulsion. At this point, Bob stopped his car and looked at this object through a telescope for about 20 minutes, but he could not discern any markings on the side of it. It definitely was not a balloon, blimp, helicopter or dirigible. The object continued moving toward the west,

“He was talking about the memories,” Martin said. “He said the mosquitoes were trying to eat them up back in the old days… the mosquitos trying to carry them away.” The end result: The floor is not only whiter, allowing for better visibility of the lines, it is also restriped with a coloraccurate Raiders logo in the center. “I was amazed. I was amazed how quickly they got it done,” Martin said. “The quality of the work is excellent.” The gym is set to be used soon for volleyball and eventu-

and then suddenly, it shot straight up to an approximate 10,000 feet above ground where it came to a temporary stop before it started moving again. By this time, Bob was driving between Forrest City to Brinkley, Ark., a distance of about 15 miles as he continued to watch this object in the sky. Then, all of a sudden, the object simply disappeared. Bob estimated he watched this object for over an hour. When he got to his dad’s house, his dad wondered why he was so late getting there. Here is the most interesting part of this story: Despite the fact that his dad was wondering why he arrived so late, Bob decided not to tell his dad the real reason why he was late. In fact, he didn’t mention it to anyone for the next 15 years. It is high time we take these experiences seriously and encourage people to come forward instead of ridiculing them. It may help solve the biggest mystery in our lifetime. ––––––––––––––––––– 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.

debris that had been building up since last year’s flood. Gibson hopes to continue making the village a more beautiful and welcoming place to live. “We look to paint the village hall.

The gym is used for all indoor physical activity across grades, so it will likely have to be touched up each year. “There is just a lot of traffic in here, and by this time next year, this will be all scuffed up from last year,” the Brussels superintendent said. But as far as the longevity of this work, Martin is hoping for 20 to 30 years. “I don’t know how many more times we can do this without going all new, but I am hoping this will last 20, 30 years,” Martin said.

OBITUARY KATHERINE J. INGERSOLL Katherine J. Ingersoll, age 100, of Pittsfield, IL passed away on Friday, June 25, 2021 at Eastside Healthcare and Rehabilitation Center. She was born on February 21, 1921 in Kampsville, IL to Joseph and Josephine Becker Hartman. She married Earl C. Ingersoll on February 21, 1945 and he preceded her in death on April 12, 1991. Kate attended and graduated school in Calhoun County. At the age of 12, she began managing her parents’ grocery store where she met her husband, Earl. After they got married, they moved to Pittsfield and she spent her years as a homemaker. Kate was the oldest member of St. Mary’s Catholic church where she was very active. She was a member of the Alter Society for many years and visited nursing homes every Tuesday for over 30 years. She helped with Meals on Wheels and went to Rome with other church members in her 80’s. Kate was voted Woman of Distinction by the local par-

ish in 2012 for all of her acts of service. Her favorite hobby was fishing. She and Earl built a home on Big Lake Chetac, WI where they spent the summer months fishing and she continued to do so until she was 97. In her lifetime, Kate survived many epidemics, pandemics, two World Wars as well as other conflicts, and the Great Depression, always remaining stoic about all she had experienced. Kate’s best days were spent following CJ in all of his activities, especially baseball. She was very devoted to her family and to her church. She is survived by her son, Charles (Marsha) Ingersoll of Pittsfield, IL; grandson, CJ (Deidre) Ingersoll of Springfield, IL; great granddaughter, Briley Ingersoll; and many nieces, nephews, and cousins. She was preceded in death by her parents, Joseph and Josephine Hartman; husband, Earl C. Ingersoll; and her siblings, Bill, Val, Theresa, Gene, and Ed.

County Market begins operations

By CARMEN ENSINGER Calhoun News-Herald Anyone traveling through Carrollton in the last week has no doubt seen the huge County Market trailer set up in the old IGA parking lot. The good news is that, come next week, that trailer will be filled with people’s online orders of groceries. A meeting with representatives from County Market took place in Carrollton Tuesday afternoon to explain how the process will work and what might actually come of the test run if the market turns out favorable. “We are really looking forward to the challenge and opportunity to work with the Greene County community,” said Tim Murphy, director of supermarket operations for Niemann Foods. “We are doing a market study to see if it would justify us being able to actually operate a store here.” In other words, if enough people take advantage of the service, County Market might consider building a brick and mortar store in Carrollton. For those unfamiliar with what is going on, when Kroger pulled out of both Carrollton and White Hall in early May, County Market began looking at the area to set up a mobile food delivery service. Customers would order their groceries from an app on their phone or computer, pay for them with a credit or debit card, and those groceries would be delivered to Carrollton to the mobile trailer, which is equipped with refrigerators and freezers for the refrigerated and frozen items, twice a week. Customers would then simply drive up, pick up their order and go home. While they are starting out with only two days of delivery, Murphy said that could change if the volume of orders increases. “We are very flexible – we will make a delivery every day if we have to,” he said. “We are going to do what we need to do to satisfy the customer or we won’t do it. We won’t do anything if we don’t do it right.” Of course, that is not saying there won’t be kinks that need to be worked out in the beginning. “I won’t say everything will be perfect right out of the gate, but we have done our homework on this,” he said. “We have done this a lot of times, and I feel like we will be able to sniff out a lot of the problems we will have.” Carrollton Librarian Angie Custer asked Murphy how long they would be considering Carrollton a test market. “Normally, a demographic study takes from 8 to 12 months,” Murphy said. “But

we put a rush on this one with the people who are doing the study. Plus, I have done my homework and contacted Kroger, so I kind of know where we are as far as what kind of business was taking place. So, we have a pretty good feel for the market.” In other words, the test run would be considerably less than the typical 8 to 12 months, but exactly how long is not clear at this time. One concern of White Hall Librarian Penny Eilers, who was also in attendance at the meeting, is getting the word out to the North Greene residents. “You are going to have to come up with some way to market this to reach the people up north who don’t drive by the trailer every day,” she said. “Then, there will be the elderly who might not have access to a computer or simply not know how to do the ordering.” This, however, has already been taken care of. There are two groups that have been formed that will be able to assist any resident in this area: The Lettuce Serve You group in North Greene and the Reaching Out … To Help Others group in Carrollton. In addition, residents can also utilize the computers at local libraries in all three communities and enlist the aid of library personnel. The app can be found and downloaded by going to shop. rosieapp.com/countymarket300. Using this app will allow the city of Carrollton to be able to capture the sales tax for the sales rather than the city of Girard, even though the groceries are coming from the Girard store. Pharmacy Plus owner Byron Berry said this is very important for Carrollton, or any community. “If our tax base goes away, our schools and community

25 years ago July 3, 1996 The heat and humidity of Sunday afternoon held the crowds at the Car and Quilt Show to about half the normal size, but those who came were treated to a large display of beautiful quilts. This display was more than double last year’s entries, and the car show entries were up as well. Crafts and other displays did a brisk business. A quilt made by Bessie Webster of Michael was overwhelmingly voted the people’s favorite, and the same quilt was selected as her favorite by Calhoun County Fair Queen Lori Taviner. Queen Lori was on the grounds during the afternoon, as were Little Miss Kelly Kiel and Little Mr. Jeremy Ewen. Attorney William Vogt of Carrollton was the winner of the antique car quilt made by members of the Calhoun County Historical Society, sponsor of the shows. Raffle winners were drawn by Little Miss Kiel, assisted by Queen Lori. Raymond Kamp and Mrs. H. Boemler were winners of the Winfield Ferry passes, and other winners were: Jim Chappelear, Eugene Quinn, Sandy Titus, Juan Monzon, Rita Knight, Mae Burge, Dan Coughlin, Charity Roth, Sherri Chappelear, Katherine Pohlman, Donald Droege, Nancy Ontis, Debbie Tepen, Carrie Kamp, Vincent Becker and Katie Bick. 50 years ago July 1, 1971 Members of the Brussels Community High School 1971 graduating class are, left to right, Karen Marlene Herter, Eileen Bessie Seidler, Denise Marie Klaas, Deborah Margaret Droege, Elaine Louise Hirschfield, Cynthia Denise Haugen, Diana Lynn Imming, Jerome L.

services will suffer,” Berry said. “Schools may be forced to cut out needed classes, and extracurricular activities and other important uses for our tax dollars will also suffer, and in the end, our whole community will suffer.” Berry said it is very important for everyone, not just Carrollton, to support this much-needed service that County Market is bringing to the area. “It is going to take all of us, not just us here in Carrollton, to create a market that will make them want to bring a store into the Greene County area,” Berry said. “We all have to pull together to bring a needed service back to our area.” Boyd Hospital has granted permission for the trailer to be set up in the parking lot of the old IGA building, which they bought last year and plan to turn into a physical therapy building. Carrollton Mayor Mike Snyder said that the cost of running electricity to the building, which is also coming from the IGA building, is being covered from donations from local individuals and businesses.

Jenice Marie Kinder, Henry L. Titus, Margaret Ann Bussen, R. Emil Kuhn and Rose Ann Goetze. 75 years ago June 27, 1946 All of his children gathered at the home of William Eilerman to spend Father’s Day with him. A very nice dinner was served out in the yard under the shade trees. The afternoon was spent in taking pictures. Mr. Eilerman is 84 years old and enjoys very much to have all of his family gathered together at his home. Those present were Wilson Mortland and family, Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence Schmidt and family, Mr. and Mrs. Martin Eilerman and family, all of Batchtown; Mr. and Mrs. Walter Behrens and family, Mr. and Mrs. Paul Sackman and family, Alton; Mr. and Mrs. Walter Branham, Mr. and Mrs. Henry Triplett and family, John DeWitt, Hardin; Martin Tolbert, St. Louis; Dick Weishaupt, Beechville. Everyone enjoyed the day and in the late afternoon departed for their homes thanking him for the cherries and raspberries which he gave everyone and also promising to spend next Father’s Day with him. 100 years ago June 30, 1921 The Holt Manufacturing Co., of Peoria, who have been operating a research and experimental station over in the Nutwood District, across the river opposite Hardin, have closed down their activities, laid off all their help and are shipping all their machinery and large tractors back to the factory in Peoria. This company has done some big work on the Baker Ranch over in the Nutwood district and has furnished lots of employment to our people. The idea of this station, when first opened, was to test the strength of the large tractors made by the Holt Mfg. Co., and to find out their weak points. Great undertakings and much was accomplished in their plans and a visit to the large body of land, known as the Baker Ranch, will soon convince one that a great amount of profitable work has been done in a very short time and proves, beyond any reasonable doubt, that tractors can do, in a few years, in the way of clearing and improving lands, what would require a lifetime to accomplish if compelled to depend on the method used before power took the place of horses. With the closing down and moving away of these works, takes with it some mighty good men whom our citizens have learned to know, like and appreciate, and it is this fact that causes the News to regret the closing down of the Holt works across the river.

Fireworks!

On Resisting Temptation Rull Brothers Hardin, IL

“No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it.” 1 Corinthians 10:13 NIV

o long as we live and breathe, we will have temptations. Even when we are no longer physically able to carry out the misdeeds we are tempted to do, we will still harbor the desire in our hearts. Many of the temptations which we struggle with are part of our nature. We are bodily creatures with bodily desires, and this is simply what nature and nature’s God has created to ensure the continuation of life. Life is at its core the appropriation of other life. And thus, the temptation to eat and drink to excess is virtually built into every animal’s constitution. Likewise, the sexual instinct is something inherent in every creature which reproduces sexually.

We can hardly blame people for doing what comes naturally to them. But these instincts can go awry in a thousand different ways, and surely all of us realize that we must control our bodily desires if we are to be civilized human beings. And just as civilization requires that we control our bodily desires, spiritualization requires this even more. No one can be spiritually advanced and at the same time give in to every temptation. As we grow in the spirit, we begin to leave our bodies—and their temptations— behind. –Christopher Simon

Another weekend of rain – thank goodness not as much as the weekend before, which caused serious flooding. From Thursday noon until Sunday evening, we got almost 6 inches. Now, Monday, beautiful sunshine, but it is hot and humid. The Golden Eagle Youth Trap Team spent an awesome weekend at the Illinois SCTP State Shoot in Sparta – lots of first and second place winners. Congratulations to all of them! A bridal shower brunch was held on Sunday at the Wittmond Hotel to honor Allison Moennig who will become the bride of Jarod Lohman in October at Germantown, Ill. The event was hosted by her bridal party and attended by many family members and friends. Allison is the daughter of Don and Nancy Moennig of Brussels. Tim and Susie Snyders of St. Charles are celebrating their 25th wedding anniversary. A card shower has been planned for the couple. Their address is 5307 Blaze Station Road in St. Charles, MO, 63301. Tim’s parents, Bernie and Gloria Snyders, and brother and family, Joe and Tammi Snyders, Colton and Corree were among those from Golden Eagle who attended a party on Sunday for them at the park in St. Peters. Congratulations to them! A surprise 50th wedding anniversary celebration in honor of Larry and Mary Kay Wieneke of Hardin took place on Sunday at the American Legion Hall in Brussels. The event was hosted by their children, Jeff, Jason and Jacob Wieneke and Jessica Droege. Many relatives were in attendance for the afternoon. John and Kelley Heffington, Brantley and Graceyn of Golden Eagle and Bob and Kathy Ellis of Hardin returned on Saturday evening from a 10-day vacation out west. With it being Brantley’s birthday on June 18, he chose to visit Bear Country USA in Rapid City, S.D., to spend the day. Next was Wyoming and Montana. Father’s Day

was celebrated in Yellowstone National Forest where they spent a couple days and saw black bears, mountain goats, bison, antelope, mule deer and elk. Brantley and Graceyn even got to feed the chipmunks. In Cody, Wyo., they visited the Old Faithful Geyser, also in Yellowstone National Park. Then, they went horseback riding in the Absaroka Mountains in Shoshone National Forest. Then, they went on to Billings and Red Lodge and stayed two nights in Silver Gate, Mont. Then a few days were spent in Cody, Wyo., with relatives from Montana – namely Bill and Donna Ellis and two of their children, Andy and Val Ellis, Hannah, Jack and Katie Ellis and Bill Tatum and Ellie (Bill is Bob’s brother.) Together, they went white water rafting on the Shoshone River, saw a western street shootout, ate at the famous prime rib buffet at Buffalo Bill Cody’s Irma Hotel and afterward attended the Cody Nite Rodeo. They reported a fabulous time with family while there and an overall fantastic vacation! George Baecht underwent major surgery last Thursday at Christian Northeast Hospital. He returned home on Saturday and is slowly recovering. Best wishes George for a very speedy recovery. Keep him in your prayers! On Saturday, Cyndi Axford of Chesterfield, Mo., John Carnes of Edwardsville and myself attended the funeral of Michael Bopp, son of Geneva Bopp of Springfield, Mo., (and the late Milton Bopp) at the First Congregational Church of Christ in Godfrey, and then graveside services at Valhalla Cemetery. A luncheon followed at the church hall, with a wonderful visit with family we had not seen in years. One of Michael’s sons from Indiana, another from Fenton, Mo., and a daughter from Branson and their families, also his niece Shannon from Chicago and her family attended. Deepest sympathy to all the Bopp family.

Deepest sympathy to the family or Rev. Donald McKelvey, who passed away on June 18 in O’Fallon, Ill. Pastor McKelvey served St. Matthew Lutheran Church in Brussels for five years from 1986-1990. He retired in 1998 from Messiah Lutheran Church in Lebanon, Ill. Funeral service and graveside interment was at the Glen Eden Lutheran Memorial Park Cemetery in Livonia, Mich. Thanks to all that purchased turtle soup on Saturday evening from St. Matthew’s in Brussels Drive-Thru. After church on Sunday, the remaining 20-gallons were purchased by others in the area that missed the Saturday event. Don’t forget this coming Sunday is the Fourth of July event in Heritage Park in Brussels, starting at 4:30 p.m. There will be food booths, games for children and at dark a fireworks display. Birthday blessings this week to Francis Toppmeyer, Ralph Fuller, Abby Thompson, Tess Drainer, Catherine Wieneke, Ed Lehr, Emma Hagen, Gary Snyders, Julie Brodbeck and all others celebrating their natal day at this time. Happy Anniversary to Ben and Diane Tepen, Patrick and Becky Glennon, Duane and Yvonne Mossman and all other couples celebrating a wedding anniversary this week. –––––––––––––––––––– My prayer this week is for America: Dear God, We thank You for the bountiful blessings you have bestowed on us. Guide us in being good stewards of these gifts. Let us care for all of your beautiful creations. Make us instruments of Your peace. The founders of this country won liberty for themselves and for us, and lit the torch of freedom for nations yet unborn. Grant that we and all the people of this land may have the grace to maintain our liberties in peace and righteousness. In Jesus name, Amen.

Q Batchtown News

The stormy weather has kept many of us home with flooded roads, fallen trees and dangerous conditions. The weather pattern presents more rain and impassable roads. I am reporting on the last two weeks of news. Because of the weather, I didn’t have phone access and dealt with impassable roads. I was unable to get much news, and hope next week is better. Saturday, Janet, Ann and Cathy, the daughters of the late Louise and Urban Narup, came to Batchtown from Springfield to visit the cemetery of all their relatives. While there, they visited with Elsie Kirn and cousin Bev Williams for lunch at the Fill Inn Station for a good meal together. Fred and Marsha Graham visited Bill and Elaine Titus last week. They had a good visit. Wilma Krysl has been in the hospital at Alton Memorial the last few days. Give her your best wishes and hope for a good recovery. Bernie and Robin Hillen had company on Father’s Day. Their sons and their families had a fish fry and barbeque. Everyone had a good time. The parishioners of St. Barbara’s Church Blessed Trinity Parish cooked chick-

en and turtle Saturday morning, June 26, in the church basement. There was a good turn out. A turtle soup supper is scheduled for Saturday, July 24. Turtle soup and beef sandwiches will be sold in a drive-thru line up. The price and procedure for pick up will be announced as it approaches. St. Joseph’s Church Blessed Trinity Parish in Meppen will have fish sandwiches and corn dogs for sale on Saturday, July 31, with a drive-thru pick up. St. Mary’s in Brussels will have a drive-thru chicken dinner with all the trimmings on Saturday, Aug. 7. It will be held at the Brussels American Legion. Megan and Mark Klaas and their children, Andrew and Haley, enjoyed eating out with Virgil and Angeline Saturday night at the Old Fill Inn Station. They stayed in their camper on the farm and had a nice time. Roy and Helen Sievers made it through stormy weather, downed trees and flooded roads to the home of Tim and Liz Sievers. They and their family, Phil and Kelly, Brad and Loda, Tim and Liz and Paul Anna, all had a good time and gladly made it home safe. Jill Duve was home from Baton Rouge, La., for a visit. Tony and Jana and

family visited her at the Fill Inn Station. All had a good time. The Batchtown Woman’s Club met at the Fill Inn Station for their meeting, June 16. Members present were: Robin Hillen, Karen Friedel, Marcy Klockenkemper, Karen Varga, Barb Sperlo and Barb Margherio. Discussion of the Health Fair and the raffle was made.

COURT/SCHOOL/NEWS/CLASSIFIEDS/PUBLIC NOTICE

Charges dismissed in horse abuse case By CARMEN ENSINGER Calhoun News-Herald The former Greene County State’s Attorney who faced numerous charges for allegedly starving several horses in 2019 has had those charges dismissed. Ken Hobson was scheduled for a pre-trial hearing on two charges of cruelty to animals and two charges of violating animal owners duties on June 11. Because of a conflict of interest, as Hobson was once a State’s Attorney in Greene County, the case was handed over to State Appellate Prosecutor Jennifer Mudge and transferred to Morgan County Judge Jack Davis. On June 8, an order was entered and signed by Davis, Mudge and

Hobson’s Public Defender Tom Piper. The order states: “Defendant appears to be in full compliance with all regulations and requirements for the humane treatment of agricultural livestock and animals, including in particular, horses and their offspring. It is the joint motion of the parties that the above entitled cause is dismissed and the cause stricken.” Hobson was charged back on Oct. 23, 2019 after the alleged discovery of four horses found on his property near death from starvation. The charges allege that Hobson, between June 18 and Sept. 17, cruelly treated the horses by failing to provide adequate food and veterinary care to a palomino colt and a 15-year-old bay mare gelding in his care, who both had open wounds that

went untreated. The charges also alleged that Hobson neglected his duties as an owner by failing to provide adequate food and water to a 25-year-old paint mare and a 10-year-old buckskin mare. The four horses were reportedly found near death on Sept. 18 and removed from the property by the Greene County Sheriff’s Office. Greene County Sheriff Rob McMillen described the horses, including one young foal, as severely underweight. One of the horses and the foal reportedly had lacerations that had gone untreated and were infested with flies and maggots. According to McMillen, the horses were already the subject

Dispositions

of an investigation by the Illinois Department of Agriculture alleging abuse. The department had received a complaint earlier that year and made a visit to the property. When the department returned to check on the horses, Hobson had reportedly not complied with their orders to provide them veterinary care, and they were in much worse condition than before. Hobson would not voluntarily surrender the horses, so the sheriff’s office was called in to help with removing the horses from the property on Sept. 18. After seeing the severe neglected condition of the horses, McMillen opted to open a criminal investigation and presented his findings to the Greene County State’s Attorney.

Brussels use ESSER funds on summer tutoring By JARAD JARMON Calhoun News-Herald Brussels is already taking use of their new COVIDrelated ESSER II funds with a summer tutoring program for students who may have needed a little extra help. Under the Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief Fund II (ESSER II), The Illinois State Board of Education awards grants to state education agencies for the purpose of providing local schools, including charter schools, with emergency relief funds to address the impact that novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID19) has had, and continues to have, on elementary and secondary schools across the nation. The catch is it must be related to impacts of the COVID pandemic. “Kind of the theme of this is, ‘What are we doing to help kids that were hurt in some way by COVID,’” Brussels Superintendent Mark Martin said. Brussels was awarded

$59,625, and some of that money has gone to helping students over the summer who fell behind following the advent of the pandemic. “Before school was out, the teachers and I talked about summer approaching, and every school has kids who need a little extra help, and I asked them to identify the kids who would benefit the most from a little extra help in the summer,” Martin said. “It could be academics, it could be reading, it could be math, or it could be other things.” The focus or goal could be on behavior and focus, too. The program is currently assisting 8-12 students, and Martin said it has been great. “We can really focus on those kids who probably need it the most,” Martin said. Secondarily, the program allows the district to be in touch with the kids throughout the summer. “Some of the kids – part of why we wanted them here was just so we could keep an eye out on them – that they

are doing OK,” Martin said. It was noted that this was not babysitting, though. For the few hours they are at the school Tuesday and Thursday, they are being helped with specific subject areas, different from summer school. The program runs until the end of July, allowing a couple of weeks of much needed rest and relaxation before the students will have to come back to school next year. Martin said the ESSER funds have absorbed the majority of the program’s costs, such as teacher pay and funding the bus driver to get them to the school. This program will not absorb all the money, though. The ESSER funds will go toward the purchase of Chromebooks needed for in-person instruction as well as remote learning. Fiftytwo have been ordered. In that same area, laptops have been ordered for the teach-

ers as well as kindles for the younger students. “Little kids can use touch screen stuff a lot better than keyboards,” Martin said. There will be funds for professional development as well. The funds will go to professional development for teachers on social emotional learning for themselves and the students. Money will also go to student assessment materials for grades 4-8 to gauge learning loss and progress made following the last two years’
