Calhoun fruit dynasty ends

Calhoun sees second case of COVID-19

Ringhausen retires, sells marketspace, orchards

By JARAD JARMON Calhoun News-Herald As other neighboring counties saw COVID-19 positive numbers trickle up, Calhoun County’s total had remained at one since the virus drew attention from those in the U.S — that was until recently. The Calhoun County Health Department confirmed another case of COVID-19 Sunday. Although a Calhoun resident, it was said that the individual was exposed to the virus and is continuing to self-isolate outside of the county. “I feel like we are in a good situation with this case,â€? Jamie Bailey, Director of Nursing at the health department, said. â€œâ€Ś We were fortunate that he was working outside of the county when exposed and is isolating outside of the county.â€? In the wake of this case, residents are asked to remain cognizant of health safety measures including social distancing, masks and hand washing, Jen Shirley, health educator at the Calhoun department, said. “Cases are going up in counties all around us, and we are not going to be immune to it, so I think everybody needs to remain vigilant,â€? Bailey said. Mirroring a swell of cases across the country, neighboring counties have been showing more and more cases. In Jersey County, there are 10 active test positive cases of COVID-19, bringing the total in the county to 45. Greene County has had more cases as well. Currently, there are three active cases in Greene, with eight recovered. And Monday, the Pike County Health Department confirmed there were two new novel coronavirus cases in the county — a female in her 60’s and a male in his 30’s. There are a total of eight in the county, two of which have since recovered.

JULY 15, 2020

By JARAD JARMON Calhoun News-Herald The season for one of the county’s most treasured fruits is well underway. Growers have been hard at work, picking and pruning their orchards, but there is someone missing among the trees this year. The last Ringhausen grower in the county, Tom Ringhausen, has hung up his hat and sold off his orchards and marketplace — ending a family dynasty in Calhoun County dating back to 1860. Ringhausen has been in the orchard business since he was a young boy. He remembers as far back as when he was 5-years-old picking up brush in the orchards. Decades later, he continued on into the family business, outside of a stint in the Marine Corps. Now, at 65-yearsold, soon to be 66, he was ready to retire, but it was not his age that got him to step back from the peach tree. Instead, it was a year.

Tom Ringhausen Retired Calhoun farmer “2019; that year just beat me up, man — beat me up mentally, physically, financially,â€? Ringhausen said. “2019 soured me on stuff‌ I was old enough to retire, so I quit.â€? As was the case for many in the county, 2019, or more specifically the flood of that year, took its toll on Ringhausen. Like his father did during the Great Flood of ’93, Ringhausen decided to retire from the orchards because of the flood. “The 500-year flood had come 26 years later and had got me,â€? he said. Unlike his father, though, Ringhausen did not have family to continue on the orchard tradition, making him the fifth and last generation in the orchard business in the county. “I am the last of the Mohicans here in Calhoun, as far as growing fruit,â€? he said. Family in Jersey, Uncle Joe and Cousin Dennis Ringhausen, still continue on the Ringhausen orchard

brand, but there was no one to continue the family business in Calhoun. Other family had taken different paths, and Tom’s children went into other industries. It was a move he could not fault any of them for, though. “All the smart Ringhausen’s got out of the orchard business,� Ringhausen joked. For Tom, working in the orchards was in his blood. By his own account, it was all he knew, so he stuck with it — until this year. Retirement certainly wasn’t planned. In fact, he planted a host of new trees last March. He said was planning on working until at least 70. But without hesitance, he did like much of his family and got out of the fruit game. He was not oblivious to the legacy he would be leaving, though. He was proud of what his family had done in the county. “Why wouldn’t I be,� he said. “In the fruit industry around Illinois, we had a lot of respect.� But it was time to step away from business. In February, Tom sold his 60 acres in Batchtown, where he grew peaches, squash pumpkins, apples, plums and nectarines, to Josh Klocke, who already had orchards in the area. A few months later in May, Ringhausen sold his marketplace property in East Hardin at the Joe Page Bridge to Jacob’s Orchard, who is now selling at the property. The Ringhausen clan had been selling in East Hardin for years. (See, DYNASTY, A2)

Income survey poses potential benefits to county By CONNOR ASHLOCK Calhoun News-Herald

S

tate’s Attorney Rick Ringhausen will be mailing out two confidential income surveys to collect necessary data that will potentially qualify the Village of Hardin for funding to update the village water system and community center. One survey will be used to qualify the village for a lower interest rate with USDA Rural Development Water and Waste program, and the other survey will be used to obtain funds from the Community Development Block Grant program to renovate the community center. Another key player in this project is Emily Fortschneider, who shared insight onto the issues facing the current water system in the Village of Hardin. “It needs to be replaced,� Fortschneider said. “To the best of my knowledge, it has never been updated. The aging infrastructure is deteriorating, evidenced by the water main breaks, boil orders and water clarity. There have been several complaints of brown, murky water.� Fortschneider explained that the funds

from the rural development program will be used to replace the water main. “The way it works is that this program is a loan grant program. So much will be loaned and so much is granted. The reason behind the income survey is to maximize the amount of money that is granted to us, while lowering the interest rate on what is loaned,� Fortschneider explained. Presently, Hardin hasn’t approved to submit for the rural development program, but the efforts on Fortschneider and Ringhausen’s part must be undertaken either way so that the data is available in the event the village does approve to proceed with the program. “In order to use the surveys toward obtaining a cheaper interest rate, we have to have a 90-percent response rate,� Fortschneider noted. “If we don’t get the 90-percent rate by the end of August, there will be people going door-to-door obtaining the information. Having them done sooner rather than later is ideal.� While the water system is a Hardinspecific issue, the community center is more county-focused. As many folks between the rivers are aware, the community center was origi-

nally the Calhoun High School gymnasium before becoming the Grade School gymnasium when the current high school was built. “When it became vacant, the county purchased it to be used as a government center,� Ringhausen said. “The notion was sometime in the future it could be a community center.� Currently, young people in the community do utilize the facility, but utilities are not readily available inside the gym. “We want to get the electric back on in the building then get the heating and cooling turned on,� Ringhausen said. “In order to use it, any renovation has to be compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act to ensure accessible facilities. Essentially, we have to update and modernize the building.� There’s much more to be done with the building before it can be considered Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) compliant, but the money provided through this grant would be necessary to see the project through. Surveys similar to these have been conducted in the past, according to Ringhausen, but each grant has its own

criteria and new data is required to determine the village and county’s eligibility. “It’s really important to get this money. Once grant money is allocated, if it doesn’t come here, it’s going somewhere else,� Ringhausen explained. “If we don’t get these surveys back, then the money is definitely not going back into local taxpayer pockets, but to another community.� The first batch of surveys were mailed out last Thursday, but if you are a Hardin resident and have yet to receive yours, or if you have any questions regarding the survey, you are encouraged to contact Rick Ringhausen. “If people are worried about anyone seeing their information on the survey, it should be noted that we’re not putting names on any of them. They do have addresses on them, but no one is going through them to see who makes what,� Ringhausen noted. “These surveys are very important,� Fortschneider iterated. “If the village does decide to go the route of rural development funding for system updates, and we can get the lowest interest rate possible, we have a better chance of keeping their water rates low.�

COVID-19 affecting Bugs lead to accident summer athletic activities on Joe Page Bridge By CONNOR ASHLOCK Calhoun News-Herald Š2020

CALHOUN NEWS-HERALD All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten or redistributed.

The coronavirus pandemic has put a halt on too many activities this year, and flat out canceled others, including the Jersey County Fair, which was to be held this week. Although there is a lot people missed out on this year, there’s still been some activities here and there to keep us chugging along. With pandemic restrictions slowly lifting, some are able to host their usual summer activities, including the various athletic organizations in the county. Nikki Smith, mother of two athletes and director of the Calhoun little league program, shares that even though the season for the kids this year was cut short, they were still able to get some playing time in. “We had an abbreviated season this year,� Smith said. Overall, COVID-19 had a major impact on little league as a whole, with some teams not being able to play at all. The itty bitty T-ball participants didn’t get a season this year, and neither did the 10, 12 or 14 year-old and under groups. “One of our parents on the boys’ side organized some pick up games with the 11 and 12 year-old boys in the county for a three-week period,� Smith said. “Also, our T-ball and pitch machine program, an intramural program in the county, just finished up their two-week abbreviated

season.� Even though some were able to play this year, this season was not what organizers were hoping for, especially since they had similar issues last year with the Flood of 2019. “There are several kids in Calhoun who haven’t played ball in at least two seasons,� Smith noted. “They may have had only one to two games before the flood waters rose.� Smith shared that Calhoun little league organizers waited until the last possible minute to make a decision, on account of them wanting to keep everybody safe while making sure that the kids actually had an opportunity to have at least some semblance of a normal summer.

By JARAD JARMON Calhoun News-Herald May Flies or Willow bugs. Whatever one might call them; the pest, for a period of few weeks along the river, can become a major nuisance for residents in the county, especially for those on the riverside. For this period, anywhere with light on the riverside can attract thousands of these insects leaving piles of the bug across the ground. In most cases, this is simply an inconvenience to clean up, but in other cases, it can be dangerous, as made evident on the Fourth of July when Calhoun and Greene county deputies responded to the scene of an accident on the Joe Page Bridge involving the bugs. Brian, 56, and Joetta, 52, Waters, both of Elsah, were traveling at 10:56 a.m. on a Harley Davidson motorcycle westbound on the Hardin bridge, 200 feet west of the county line, Greene Sheriff Rob McMillen said. As they were cruising, they ran into debris that turned out to be a clump of insect carcasses that had been smashed down and made slick, causing the driver to lose control. They struck a guard rail before skidding on the pavement until they eventually stopped. Brian was sent to a St. Louis hospital with serious, but not life-threatening injuries. Joetta was sent to Alton Memorial Hospital with serious but not

life threatening injuries. It was noted that accidents caused by bugs on the roadway are rare. “It was combination of the motorcycle and the debris from the insects,â€? McMillen said. “But, it is not very common we have these kind of crashes.â€? However, bugs can become a problem on the roadway ever so quickly, especially when the road is near a river and there are a lot of lights about the roadway, as is the case on the Hardin bridge. The conditions on the bridge on a humid day in summer are ripe for build up from these insects, Heffington said. “There are usually thousands of them in a swarm,â€? Heffington said. “Like up there on the bridge, they were piled up two, three inches deep in the one spot under one light.â€? And this mass can later make for some unsafe road conditions. “The lights are on all the time. They congregate. They fall down, and they die and then they get on the pavement,â€? Heffington said. From there, it can become a mess. “It is like an oily film. It gets slick,â€? Heffington said. â€œâ€ŚThey get real slick, and like with motorcycles where they do not have good traction anyhow, they can lose control pretty quick.â€? To combat this, state crews have to shovel it off, going as far as to use a snow plow to remove the pests. Heffington noted people should be cautious of these piled up pests.

There are snakes that can fly By BILL HOAGLAND Just when I thought the news couldn’t get any worse, I learned last week that there is a subspecies of snake that can fly. And they are venomous. Isn’t that great. As a person who has spent a lot of time outdoors in my lifetime, I learned long ago that snakes show up when you least expect them. As a result, I instinctively look for snakes on the ground when I am walking in the woods. But the possibility of a snake flying at you from above adds another complication to what should otherwise be a simple walk in the woods. So what’s the deal with these flying snakes? The technical name for the flying snake is chrysopelea; there are five subspecies, all of which are found in South Asia. These snakes are actually gliding snakes in that they climb to the top of tall trees and then they “push off” toward their destination on the ground. By sucking in their abdomen and flattening their rib cage while in flight, these snakes are able to double the width of their bodies as

they descend. And as they descend, they undulate their bodies back and forth in an “S” configuration. These two factors cause increased upward air pressure underneath their bodies, similar to the air pressure under a frizbee. And like the frisbee, this allows these snakes to “glide” long distances— sometimes as far as the length of a football field from their point of departure. And they can alter their “flight plan” after “takeoff”; they actually have the ability to change directions while in flight. These snakes range in size from two to four feet in length. Their usual prey are rodents and other small animals. They only hunt during daylight hours, which makes sense since it would seem that flying after dark could be a bit risky even for a snake. But here is the best part: they are only “mildly” venomous, whatever that means. Apparently the fangs are permanently fixed in the rear of the mouth so that the chances of a human being

envenomed, we are told, are slight. Isn’t that comforting? Of course, you can buy one of these flying snakes on the internet. The going price for a “paradise tree snake”, one of the five subspecies, is only $499.99. You just know that sooner or later, some idiot here in the US is going to buy a male and female so that we can have lots of little critters flying around here too. So if you were thinking that South Asia is far enough away that you will never have to worry about a snake landing on your shoulders, maybe we will need to rethink that at some point. ––––––––––––––––––– 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

Dynasty (Continued from A1) “We have been in East Hardin for a long, long time,” Tom said. The Ringhausen’s initially worked out of a space, built in 1929, on the north end of the road. They later moved to the location on the south end where the Ringhausen name remained until this year. “He offered me a good price for it, so I took it, and ran with it,” Tom said. “Don’t look back.” Now, Tom simply has a small 5-acre plot of land, and time to enjoy retired life. So far for Tom, that involves fiddling on shed and driving around the back road of the county with his friends on a side-by-side he recently purchased. Initially, though, this also included an adjust-

ment period, where he found himself driving by his old orchards everyday. “I still drive around the orchards and stuff. I had my melancholy moment, but I am getting to the point now where I don’t miss it,” Tom said. There was one aspect of the business he still missed— the people. “I have met people in them fruit markets from all over the world,” he said. “I met a lot of people in there — ones that I have become friends with. That is what I miss is the people.” As for the future, he plans to spend more time with his granddaughter and has intentions to travel with his wife, Ava, who is still working for a couple years.

Activities (Continued from A1) “We wanted to do everything and anything in our power to give the kids a summer program,” Smith said. “Especially since last year we weren’t able to either.” Even though this season is not what was desired in the slightest, the families involved with the little league program are just happy the kids were able to have at least a little fun before the summer starts to wind down. “When you think about how this pandemic affected adults mentally, you’ve got to look at how it affected the kids mentally, too. They’ve been stuck inside four walls for so long away from friends, so it’s time they’re getting out and exerting energy,” Smith said. Aside from the little league groups, other athletic organizations in the county have also been able to host at least some of their usual activities, including the Golden Eagle trap team and Calhoun junior football. Ryan Bland, the head coach for the trap team, shares that like other organizations in the county, his team has had to sacrifice a lot this season. “We’ve had to cancel three quarters of our

practices due to COVID this year,” Bland said. The group has also missed out on shoots this year, including the Illinois State Shoot that was canceled. “Luckily, the National Scholastic Clay Target Program event in Ohio decided they’d host their event this year, so we’re heading that way in a day or two.” The team, which consists of members ranging from third-grade through high school, isn’t facing any financial shortfalls, Bland reports, but their season was extremely limited this year. “Once this upcoming shoot comes and goes, that’s it for us. There’s no more scholastic events we attend for the season,” Bland said. JD Lorton, head coach of the junior football team, will also be starting practices soon and activities associated with Calhoun Unit 40 School District will be starting up soon as well, with some having already begun. Notably, some of the progress on the high school sports front has been halted recently because of growing restrictions made by the Illinois High School Association.

Brussels High School celebrates eighty-sixth commencement

By CONNOR ASHLOCK Calhoun News-Herald The 14 Raiders who graduated from Brussels High School last Saturday will have quite a story to tell years down the road. A ceremony replete with tradition and intermixed with social distance, the students sat at the base of the front steps of the school, facing the crowd neatly organized into 14 boxes following a parade held at 9:30 a.m. through the village of Brussels. Each student had a sign bearing their name and face placed in a white spray-painted box on the ground, marking the location for that student’s family to seat themselves during the ceremony. In addition to those seated in the front yard, friends and other onlookers observed the ceremony from behind St. Mary’s Church and Heritage Park, no doubt relishing the shade from the hot sun. The graduating class of Brussels high school exemplified themselves in their handling of the final months of their high school careers, which were drastically altered on account of the COVID19 pandemic. “You’ve had some good times and some tough times. These past few months have taught you that anything can change in a moment,” Jeannie Johnes, business teacher at the high school, said at the ceremony. “There are great things to come to each of you. You have the freedom to define who you are. If you work hard and believe in yourself, good things will follow.” The following graduates were awarded scholarships and recognition at the ceremony: Q Boyd Hospital Foundation scholarship: Logan Jacobs Q Sons of the American Revolution Outstanding Citizen award: Macie Kinder Q Daughters of the American Revolution award: Logan Jacobs Q The Jessica Kamp and Jacob Hagen memorial scholarship: Logan Jacobs Q The Carl Wittmond memorial scholarship: Will Schleeper

Hopes of delayed prom dashed By JARAD JARMON Calhoun News-Herald There was sentiment among students in school districts across the state, including that of Calhoun Unit 40 and Brussels Unit 42, that, as time passed, restrictions would loosen enough to host a prom. These hopes have since been dashed. Calhoun and Brussels officially canceled prom. Calhoun Principal Cheri Burris made the announcement July 7 on social media regarding prom in Calhoun. “I regret to inform you that Prom we had rescheduled for July 31 has been canceled due to IDPH COVID-19 restrictions,” Burris said. “These restrictions require social distancing, use of face masks, and other restrictions that make it impossible for prom to be both a safe and fun time. At this time, we are putting safety first for our students.” Calhoun joins the host of other districts across the state including Brussels in their

The graduating class of 2020 sits in front of the audience on Saturday. The class of 14 distinguished themselves in their efforts this year, despite the challenges posed by COVID-19.

Saturday, July 18: Mark Bowers Benefit, 5 p.m., Knights of Columbus Hall. Live and silent auction, gun draw, card draws, 50/50, raffle tickets. Outdoor seating available and social distancing measures taken. 100 percent of proceeds to benefit the family.

latest decision. Prom was canceled across many, if not all, school districts in the state. Calhoun Superintendent Andrea Lee said the social distancing piece of the puzzle was the big hurdle for an event like prom that simply could not be overcome. According to school officials, it was a disappointment, for sure, but one that students were not surprised by. “I think they were, obviously, disappointed, but probably not shocked,” Lee said. Although it was canceled, district officials announced Logan Swan and MacKenzie Cranmer as the 2020 Prom King and Queen July 14. As previously reported, some students in the county participated in their own socialdistance conscious celebrations of their final year as high-schoolers through social media and photo shoots. “Hopefully, the coming school year and next spring will allow us to have a fun prom,” Burris said.

e often think of patience as self-restraint. When we are irritated and annoyed by others and want to lash out with angry words, patience is seen as the ability to repress those impulses. And let’s face it, we all have impulses to say and do hurtful things, and those impulses should be resisted. But often what happens after we resist the nasty impulse is that we stew over the thoughtlessness of the other person, and we say or do the nasty thing in our minds, perhaps even going further than our original impulse. All of a sudden, we are having an argument in our mind and we are stuck in a bitter, rancorous morass of negative feelings. This is sometimes where patience takes us, down a bad path. Far better to pray for charitable feelings, and rather than repress the negative feelings you are having, be honest and tell the person right off that they hurt your feelings, or that you felt disrespected (or whatever it was that bothered you—maybe it was

just wishing that they’d turn the music down, or stop tapping, or whatever they did that bothered you). This approach is more likely to lead to a positive outcome for everybody involved, and then your patience stems from a good place within you, a positive spirit of love and understanding. Be kind and forgiving, and let this be the primary source of your patience, not feeling that you have to repress every negative thought. Pray for a spirit of loving kindness and let this be the spirit that animates you. – Christopher Simon

A parade at 9:30 a.m. Saturday morning honored the 2020 graduates of Brussels High School. It began at the Brussels Legion and ended at the high school front lawn for the graduation ceremony. Many family and friends lined the streets to applaud as they passed by. The graduation ceremony began at 10 a.m. with parents and their immediate family present. The Master of Ceremonies was Pam Long. Congratulations to 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. A party was held Saturday afternoon for Lucas Hoemmen and Aarion Fuhler, both Brussels High School graduates, as well as for Kody Fuhler and Emma Hoemmen’s eighth-grade graduation, and Emma’s recent birthday. The event was held at the Brussels Legion Hall with family and friends in attendance. Saturday evening a party for Mitchell Willman, son of John and Angie Willman of Meppen, was held at their wonderful Morton building on their farm in Brussels. The event was catered by Kim and Denny Vogel, while others helped John Willman at the fryer. Many family and friends were in attendance for the celebration. A beautiful decorated graduation cake, baked by Abby Johnes along with cupcakes made by Emma Vogel was served for dessert. Kevin and Elaine Eberlin entertained all their family over the Fourth of July weekend. Present were Don and Jenni Nagel, Paige

and Addie of Valparaiso, Ind., Dennis and Ann Patton, Ryder and Sienna, and Mauro and Nikki Fraschini and their two daughters.

Happy anniversary to Jim and Bonnie Franke, Gary and Joan Titus, Denny and Carol Rose and all other couples celebrating their wedding anniversary this week. ––––––––––––––––––––– THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: Life is too short, and grudges are a waste of perfect happiness. Laugh when you can, apologize when you should and let go of what you can. Take chances, give everything and have no regrets. Life is too short to be unhappy. You have to take the good with the bad. Smile when you’re sad. Love what you got and always remember what you had. Always forgive but never forget. Learn from your mistakes, but never regret. People change and things go wrong. But always remember life goes on.

Well, I’ve been out of town this week on vacation, so it will probably be a short column. The first thing I have to do is fix the mistakes from last week. I’m guessing in my hurry to get packed and ready to leave on my vacation, I should’ve paid more attention. So, for my corrections. Mark Brangenberg celebrated his 60th birthday on July 1 and Mark Becker celebrated his birthday on July 2. Also sympathy to Denny, Gary, Cindy and Connie on the passing of their mom, Lura Brangenberg. Her funeral was held last Wednesday with burial at Summit Grove Cemetery. Sorry for the mistakes from last week.

Birthday greetings this week to Wyatt Sibley, who turned 13 on the eleventh. Wyatt is always one of my helpers for all the town parties. Jon Brackett also celebrated his birthday on the 11th. Also celebrating birthdays this week is Cricket Quiller on the 12th, and Miss Calhoun Junie Zirkelbach celebrated her 20th birthday on the 12th. Reminder the Mark Bowers benefit will be held July 18 at the Knights of Columbus Hall beginning at 5 p.m. I’m sorry I don’t have more to report as I’ve been on vacation this past week with my family. We enjoyed dolphin and shark excursion and lots of other fun adventures. But the main thing for me is

my grandkids got to make some great memories. This week, please say prayers for administrators and teachers, who are dealing with the decisions right now of what to do for the best of our students. As well as the parents who want their kids to be back in school in the fall with their friends and mostly with structure and learning. It’s a scary time and these decisions or hard. I believe in the power of prayer. Also please continue prayers for Cathy Taul, Linda Herkert, Eileen Gardner, Bill Schumann, Darren Kress, Jim Hill, Joe Gress, Kurt Roth, Amy Eilerman, Cindy Smith and Luanne Baalman.

The Brussels High School graduation was held Saturday morning, July 11, at the school. There were three graduates from the area. Logan Jacobs, son of Roy Jacobs Jr. and Pam Friedel; Tanner Kiel, son of Craig and LeaAnn Kiel and Derek Kamp, son of Bill Kamp and Kim Kamp. We congratulate you each on this milestone accomplishment. Bill and Elaine Titus enjoyed having company this week. Bill’s niece, Linda Orr, stopped by Thursday afternoon, and Bernadine Snyders stopped by too. She brought a few good things to eat for Bill and Elaine and baked items from her daughter, Jeanne. Elaine is doing well after a recent fall resulting in a broken arm. Terry and Dawn Stumpf visited Wilma Krysl Wednesday. They made a trip to the eye doctor and did a little shopping. Eldon and Christine Johnes took a trip to Granite City Saturday afternoon to visit with their great granddaughter, Adalynn, who was 1-year-old on July 9. She is the daughter of Aaron and Megan Harding. Other family members accompanying them were Justine Schulte and daughter Layla, Sarah and Greg Harding, Gregory and Steph Harding and sons Lleighton and Cashton. All enjoyed the day together — especially the joy of being with the birthday girl, Adalynn. We wish Adalynn a wonderful year. Luke and Rachelle Hillen’s children are Reese, Lennox, Roman and Leland. They had fun playing and spending the night with grandparents Bernie and Robin Hillen Saturday. On Sunday, Mark took the family fishing, and caught enough for the evening meal, and another fish fry. Everyone enjoyed the weekend. We wish Abby Johnes a happy 13th birthday. Her birthday was Friday, July 10. She is the daughter of Dennis and Jeanne Johnes. Abby is a teenager now and is going into the eighth-grade at St. Mary’s School in the fall. Have a great year Abby. We hope for a good recovery for Cathy Weatherholt, who was airlifted to a St. Louis hospital Sunday morning. Hang in there, Cathy. We are all praying for you to get better soon. Ron and Peggy Johnson entertained their daughter, Ericka, and her family over the weekend. Steve and Cindy Mezarous and Hayden visited Linda Russell Sunday. Linda and Hayden enjoyed seeing the river at Cockrell Holler. Mark and Robin Baalman of Meppen had a fire at their home Sunday morning that was extinguished by the Richwood Fire Protection District. We’re glad all is well at this time. We all thank the firemen for their volunteer service. We never know when we will need them. Logan Jacobs was honored

at a graduation party with family and friends. It was hosted by her parents, Pam and Craig Friedel, at their home. Logan’s dad, Roy Jr., and friend Jamie attended. Grandparents Roy and Pat Jacobs and Everett and Karen Friedel were there. Tony and Tammy Franke and the girls, Brad and Anna Rose and family, Marilyn Klockenkemper and Jean Tepen were just a few of the folks who came to share good wishes with Logan. Everyone enjoyed pulled pork and all the fixings, and a graduation cake made by Martha Bick. It was a day to remember. We wish Logan a happy summer and a good fall as she moves towards her career goals. The St. Louis Food Bank came a week later — July 8 — this month. The food was wonderful and helps so many family in the area. I thank Ellen Klocke for picking mine up as I was under the weather with a burn that got worse. All is well now though, as I am almost better. Abbott Eilerman celebrated his birthday Sunday with a party with family. His birthday was Saturday, July 11. He is the son of Greg and Lauren Eilerman, and the brother of Addie, Aiden and Asher. The grandparents attending were Kenny and Bette Eilerman and Judy Branham. Her friend, Kirk Brangenberg, accompanied her. Mike and Tracie Eilerman, and

girls, and Nick were there. The theme of the party was: “Abbott’s First Trip Around The World”. A decorated birthday cake expressed the theme. All had a good time celebrating with Abbott. We wish him a happy year. The St. Louis Food Bank should return at their usual time next month, the first Wednesday of the month August 5 at 10 a.m. at the Ill. Riverdock Parking Lot in Hardin. The St. Vincent DePaul Society is there for you to assist your needs with prayer, and action. Call the 24 hour hot-line at 1-618-310-1141 and the volunteer on duty will assist you.

They are currently accepting summer clothing. ––––––––––––––––––––– My Garden Of Prayer My garden beautifies my yard And adds fragrance to the air, But it is also my cathedral And my quiet place of prayer. So little do we realize That the glory and the power Of Him who made the universe Lie hidden in a flower. Helen Steiner Rice
