By CYNTHIA HAGGITT Calhoun News-Herald On Monday, July 19, the Calhoun High School team’s Clay Target Shoot champions, took a victory lap around Calhoun, and were escorted by local law enforcement vehicles helping them celebrate their win. “I am really proud of our team and it’s been an incredible year,” CHS’s Clay Shoot Coach Ryan Bland said. “ After winning this and at the tournament over the weekend in Ohio, we are excited to bring

more trophies home. The guys just love this sport and they are awesome and just love to shoot.” Bland said he loves to coach the team and encourages them to focus and have fun while competing. He said the team was very nervous during their competition and they just went out there and got it done. “It’s pretty exciting to be part of this winning team. I was not nervous and it was a pretty good experience overall,” Steven Margherio said. “I am excited about placing where I

did individually, however next year my goal is to win first place.” “I agree with Steven it was an amazing experience for everyone and an awesome accomplishment for myself.” “To be able to see CHS on top is a pretty big accomplishment for such a small school. It can be challenging in a competition such as this and in the tournament we just went to in Ohio,” Kyle Labin said. According to the press release, the league said, “With over 38,000

participating athletes in the 20202021 school year, the USA Clay Target League is the largest youth clay target shooting sport program in the nation. The League offers trap, skeet, sporting clays, and 5-stand leagues to secondary and postsecondary schools across the country.” Q The Calhoun-News Herald couldn’t get a comment from Landon Sievers, however his teammates implied that he was pretty calm and thought it was really cool.

Commissioners discuss bridges; ramp access By CONNOR ASHLOCK Calhoun News-Herald

he Calhoun Commissioners opened their monthly meeting at 5 pm Monday evening, attended by over a dozen county residents concerned about river access in light of the Cache Hollow bridge concern. The motion was made and carried to proceed with engineering plans for the Cache Hollow and Pancake Hollow bridges. The issue, though, highlighted the county-wide concern about river

access for outdoorsmen— both for residents and visitors— which is crucial for livelihoods, tourism and the maintenance of a way of life for thousands of individuals in the region. It was noted that buyout lots can be utilized for boat access with an Illinois Department of Natural Resources (IDNR) permit, but those areas could not see improvement, not even with the laying of gravel. Regarding this matter specifically, Commissioner Doug Wilschetz relayed that there is 20 acres down at Calhoun Point that could be utilized for this purpose if need be, and if a permit could be available, which is located near the Point check station.

This, though, would be most beneficial for the Illinois River side, but would not be as beneficial for those who utilize the Mississippi River side. Other landings and their usability were discussed. Overall, the commission is aware that landings do need maintenance, but the topic was such that more information was needed to have a suitable discussion. Another concern that was raised at the meeting from a community member involved low-hanging brush alongside roadways. The resident noted that County Engineer Kyle Godar and his employees have done a great job in keeping the brush on the

ground trimmed back, but he’d like to see those lower branches cut also. Godar was instructed to let his department know what areas need to be addressed, as the county highway department’s priorities at this time, which include major oil and chipping projects and other concerns, has drawn much of its attention away from other things. Chris Behrens, who is coordinating the flood buyout program for the county, was also present to give an update. There are currently four properties she is working with in the buyout procedure. The total cost for those three properties still in-process amounts to $149,628.

Local beekeeper turns a hobby into a full-time business By CYNTHIA HAGGITT Calhoun News-Herald Many working couples dream of the day when they can retire, relax, pursue their hobbies and interests together but for Peggy and Gary Bell from Hardin, who are now co-owners of Salt Creek Hollow Honey, they’re as busy as bees. “We retired and now retirement has become a full-time job and a business,” the Bells said. Peggy used to work at Wal-mart and Gary is a retired operator from the refinery Phillips 66. The Bell’s now are working and selling honey from the beekeeping farm. “We got into beekeeping about four years ago. It started out as a hobby and it’s been growing ever since,” Gary said.

“As Gary said, we got into beekeeping as just a small hobby and then it just kind of grew and we now have about 25 to to 27 hives,” Peggy said. The Bell’s hives contain honeybees, nature’s hard-working pollinators, and the honey they produce is sweet indeed. According to Bell, he quickly learned where to locate his hives to help the bees find the best seasonal pollen and nectar. When one hive becomes overcrowded, he captures the swarm to start a new hive. Has Bell ever been stung? “Yes all the time, but it doesn’t bother me now. I’m kind of immune to it.” Gary said. “We both wear heavy bee jackets for protection.” Belle explains that making honey and safety in beekeeping is an ancient thing because it has been going on for

centuries. “There have been new developments and practices. All beekeeping has been done since the old adage that is extended to beekeepers,” Gary said. “You’ll have 20 opinions on how everything is done, because each one of them has an alternative, and none of them agree.So do what’s right for you and yeah, I found out what works for me,” he said “Generally, the bees only act defensive and they don’t mess with you at all, unless they see you as a threat. When we’re on the front of the hive. The bees will come and go from the front and they develop a kind of security that might be on the watch for anything going on, Gary said. “They can be a little bit offensive, but outside of that,they don’t mess with you.” “You know, however, if they’ve

got honey, they’ve got something to defend, Peggy said. “When you open the hive up now, there are different stories.They’re going to come after you a little bit, but it’s unlikely the bees will swarm . So they’re usually some of the easiest bees to deal with.” “Now, I will wear something when I deal with them.That’s because you got them all over you and they are not usually coming after you at all. I sometimes have to pick them up by the handful.” Peggy said. “So some hives have somewhat different temperaments, but most of the time, they’re gentle. Most of the time if we’re messing with them, they kind of start getting a little overactive,” Gary said. “You can give them a smoke and they calm down. (See, BEEKEEPER, A3)

OPINION/NEWS

Hardin, Illinois

“Sending a Message” By BILL HOAGLAND The Cook County jail, located in southwest Chicago at 2700 South California, is a huge place; it occupies 96 acres, and at any given time, is temporarily housing roughly 6,000 prisoners who are awaiting preliminary hearings, transfers to prisons elsewhere or an early release from jail as they await a trial date. Over a year’s time, 100,000 prisoners are processed through this jail. Next to the jail is the George N. Leighton Criminal Court Building, where all Cook County criminal cases are prosecuted. It is a busy place and people are coming and going all the time—judges, prosecutors, defense lawyers, witnesses, parole officers and so on. And you would think that there is a significant police presence at 2700 South California at all hours of the day and night. But maybe not. On July 1, Londre Sylvester, was arrested for violating the terms of his parole and he was placed in the Cook County jail pending a hearing on the breach of his parole requirements. Londre Sylvester was a “rapper.” He was also a felon. He was also a member of the Lakeside branch of the Gangster Disciples, one of the most notorious gangs in the country. He was better known as “KTS Dre.” In case you don’t know, KTS stands for “Kill to Survive”, and is the “official” designation for the Lakeside branch of the Gangster Disciples; the “Dre” in his name relates to the last three initials

in his given first name. And to prove to everyone that he was a member of that gang, he had “KTS” tattooed on his neck for everyone to see (except for those special occasions when he might be wearing a turtleneck). But that is not all he had tattooed on his neck. He also had what appears to be a bullseye or target on his neck—probably not a good idea if you live in Chicago and really do care about surviving. Yes, we are referring to “KTS Dre” in the past tense. That’s because he is no longer with us. It seems that on the evening of July 10, his mother came down to the jail and posted his $5,000 cash bail. As he was leaving the jail and walking with his mother to their car, two car loads of unidentified persons pulled up and began shooting at him. “KTS Dre” was shot 64 times. And to add injury to insult, his mother got winged in the knee. I have to assume the gunmen were sending a message to not only “KTS Dre”, but also to members of his gang, some of whom were probably residing inside the jail at the time. But the message went much further than that. And

that message is that we have a completely out of control situation in Chicago when two cars can pull up to the Cook County jail and shoot someone leaving the jail 64 times. In a news conference this past week, Mayor Lightfoot specifically mentioned this incident and said it is the subject of a “focused investigation.” I bet the folks in Chicago are relieved knowing that. According to FBI statistics, gun sales in the US are at an all-time high this year. Care to guess which state had the most sales in the first four months of 2021? Not only was Illinois at the top of the list—it had four times the number of sales of any other state. I would say folks in Illinois are “getting the message” and it is not a good one. ––––––––––––––––––– 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.

Outdoor Truths: Gary Miller

Remembering who we are, rather than where Something that happens to me quite often is I wake up in a hotel and forget where I am. It may be that I’m on a hunting trip or away at a speaking gig, but I wake up and before my eyes open, my mind tells me I’m home. There’s been a few times I’ve woken up in the dark and made my way to the bathroom. In my mind, however, I’m at home, so I go down the hallway or make a left turn, or something like that. And there have been other times I have walked into a mirror or tried to grab a doorknob on a window or opened the door to the hotel hallway thinking it was the door to that bathroom. As quickly as possible, I must get my wits about me, snap out of it, and realize where I am in order to make the right adjustments. I am in an area that is home to a university. Students move here from all parts of the country. They’re finding out important things like how we communicate, our customs, and what soup beans are. While they are here, they will make new friends and have new directions. And they will adapt to living there because of the new place they have been transplanted. Most of them will spend a few years here while planning to either return home or to some other desirable destination. But what if they could never go back? What if that

option was off the table? And what if one day, I woke up in a place that was my new home? And I could never go back. What if that happened to you? What could you do? Well, you might grumble, but what good would that do? You might long for days gone by. You might become a hermit and never associate with anyone. You might even try to change the people around you, so they become more like you. There is one more option. You could change and adapt. And if you are a Christian, you could see this as the hand of God and could say, “Alright Lord, I get it. I’ll change. I’ll adapt. I’ll live as your follower in a land that is different from my own.” Did you know that several stories in the Bible give us this scenario? I think of people like Joseph, Daniel, Nehemiah, Meshach, Shadrach, and Abednego. All of these woke up to another country and culture. And if you look at each of these stories you will notice some similarities. Namely these. They embraced their new culture while keeping their convictions and their commitment to God. Here’s another way to put it. You can adapt to your culture and still keep your commitment and your convictions. So here we have these men who woke up in a place that was all new to them. Here’s what they didn’t

LINDA HOSKINS I tried a new recipe last week that turned out really good. It’s not really a summer meal, but you can save this recipe for fall or winter time. I found this recipe for Baked Pasta Puttanesca in a magazine. Puttanesca is a sauce typically containing olives, garlic, capers, hot pepper and usually anchovies.

25 years ago July 24, 1996 The Bank of Calhoun County has released the proposed plans for its new facility which will be built on four lots, measuring 200’ by 110’, east of the existing courthouse where the former Cox building and Apple Blossom once stood. Calhoun County Ford’s parking area will be relocated. The two-story red brick colonial-style building will contain 9,100 square feet. It will have three drive-up lanes and 22 parking spaces. The tellers and loan officers will be on the first level, with the bookkeeping department, as well as a community room, located upstairs. An elevator will be installed. Cashier Larry Eberlin said that the facility will be built at a 45-degree angle facing the “66” gas station. Bank President Pete Simon hopes that construction can begin in August. 50 years ago July 22,1971 These seven girls of various 4-H clubs in Calhoun won the

the threat of other bugs like all amines and small hive beetles.. “Small hive beetles can get bad if your hive is getting weak. They can attack a strong hive. There’s a number of different plans that we’ve been doing to combat it, everything from hygienic switching the bees, to having the bees pick each other off.” Bell said. “Encouraging agentic behavior is all the way to approaching different things.” “ You can use more natural substances to treat your bees with. It doesn’t sound natural, but Oxalic Acid and El acid is something that’s natural on vegetables. But we can move that and kill the mites without killing the Bees. That’s a pretty hard thing to do. You’re calling one insect and not killing a mother.” he finishes. According to Bell, the step to step process of extraction is not as easy as one may think. “ A frame that’s fully capped or at least cap, because the moisture content has to be low enough. And the bees know that they instinctively know if the moisture content is low enough to slow it, tap it over. “I take the frames out of the hive and transport them to my house and just set up my little centrifuge. Just extractors all I call it, and you Decap it. Decapping tank because it can be a messy process but you are on to something,” Bell said. “Just to clarify, a Super is a medium box. “ Bell said the Queen’s lazy ascend from pollination can cause more visas produced and around the frame. He said the frame around it would have been brewed on and around that you’ll have

a little bit of pollen, and then you’ll have honey, and that’s what the bees feed off of. “ The Super is up on top, and the bees, if it’s a good year, they’ll put away more nectar, and they turn that into honey. The box isn’t used for groups. It’s mainly for excess honey. The bees would store their excess food that is left in the Super in the wintertime. “The extractor, now is how we put it into a five pound bucket that has a strainer on top. The hit strainer, and underneath the strainer has a mesh filter and the filter is pretty fine. However, it’s not super fine because it’s good to have a little bit of pollen and everything in it because that’s one of the antioxidants that help you out.” Bell said. “The Excluder is great and the work of bees can go through between campers because the queen is in prison. If you use a Queen excluder, it will force her to stay down in the brood chamber. She can go over the chamber if she wants too and decide where she wants to lay her eqqs, which is usually the Center of the hive. In the winter the bees will move up after they hatch and, they work their way up the hive towards their food source.” Bell finishes saying. According to Bell, Food is one of the main reasons for the move upwards. “They’re following the food and they usually pack it all the In the wintertime they’ll move up into the food area and they can’t if it stays really cold, they can’t really break clusters and get very far away. This is one of the only way they stay warm as they all cluster together?And

Beekeeper

(Continued from A1) Bell explains that smoke is usually a distraction and bees react to pheromones. If a bee would sting you, the bees are getting on the defense in order to protect their home. Gary said,”Generally, bees only act defensive and won’t mess with you unless you’re a threat.” “The bee will leave you and sting you and that will get other bees to check you out and want to sting you also. It might kind of snowball, so if you use the smoke, that kind of disrupts that thermal and it kind of confuses them. The great thing although, is the best kind of thing. It prompts them into action – “Hey, the woods are on fire! You gotta do something!” The effect from this action is that it gets them to gorge their food and that leads to more honey. “The process of extracting honey is simple.” Bell said “The honey you take off the hives is just the excess money because you can’t take everything they got. “This has been a good year since it’s been raining so much. But you know, we’ve had quite a bit of honey to extract. But when you extract honey, you basically take frames out one at a time and uncap them, spin them out in a centrifuge and then you strain it and there you go- you got honey!” They say bees are becoming harder to find and he, like other beekeepers, has experienced some challenges over the years. The challenges to the bees and their keepers wasn’t around in the United States 20 years ago. A good example is

“Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.” Philippians 4:8 NIV

ne may be tempted to think that what goes on inside our heads is our own affair, and that we can think mean or nasty thoughts all day long and so long as we do not act or say anything mean or nasty, we are okay. But is this really the case? Can we harbor ill will towards our brothers and sisters and be blameless simply because we have not harmed them physically? Our thoughts and intentions have a way of slipping into our words and deeds, unconsciously or otherwise.

For this reason, we should guard our thoughts, for they become intentions, and intentions become words and actions. And even when we have walled ourselves off from the external world, our thoughts influence our own lives. You cannot stew in anger or bitterness and live a good and beautiful life. Therefore, take care to guard your thoughts and be sure that they are good and true and beautiful. –Christopher Simon

oddly enough, even in the middle of the winter, when it’s two degrees out the middle, that cluster is 90 degrees.So your main Hive, which is called the brood, has 8 sections, and then the top of it has a Super. So what do you do after you extract your honey? “Honey sometimes, after its made, can taste differently,”Peggy explains. “Yeah. Since ours is mainly in a rural setting, it’s just made from what’s around there. There are people that can make honeys that have flavors if they’re by a field, and they plant the field with one thing and they can get it. Like mine would be more of a Clover type honey, because everything I’ve cleared over there, I plan it in Clover,” Bell said.

“So I’ve got a lot of love. You know, there’s a mix of everything. You know, there’s hardWoods that are blooming and a little bit over. However, Belle’s honey. is just not as if it’s Clover honey because there’s no such really no such thing as one thing,” “They call it mono floral honey, if it’s just from one type of plant. But it’s so hard to get it from one type of plant. They have to be, you know, just in the area surrounded by the fields. When he began bottling more honey than his friends and neighbors could consume, Bell founded Salt Springs Hollow Honey, and he sold his honey at the local Farmer’s Market, where he has developed a loyal following.

“Over half of our customers tell us that ‘local’ honey has been recommended by their doctor or allergist for treating seasonal allergy symptoms,” said Bell. Facts have shown that adding honey to your diet has other benefits as well. Honey contains vitamins, minerals and antioxidants, but has no fat, cholesterol or sodium and is easier to digest than other sugars. “I love putting our honey in my tea,” Peggy said. “Some people bake with it, eat it on toast, with peanut butter and all sorts of things. Alot of people however do use it for medicinal purposes.” For more information about Bell’s honey you can call them at: at 1-618-5769228.

Lots of wonderful celebrations going on over the weekend. At noon on Saturday Vera Droege of Meppen was pleasantly surprised on her 80th Birthday with a large gathering at the “Hills and Hollows Lodge” in Batchtown. All of her family was present from Chicago to Florida to Texas plus the local area. Also included were the Red Hatters group and the different groups she quilts with. Among tears of joy she was truly surprised when she walked in the door. A wonderful buffet meal hosted by her family was enjoyed by all present. From brisket, pulled pork, tenderloin, sausage and barbecued meat, plus a variety of hot and cold dishes and various salads, it was quite a spread. Even a table of delicious appetizers to enjoy along with lots of cold drinks before the honoree arrived.

Deepest sympathy to all the family.

Now prepare our hearts as we face another year with You holding our hand and guiding us each day. May all glory be given to You. In Jesus’ name, Amen

Q Kampsville News

This week in Kampsville things started to come down. Demolition began on flood buyout property. The home of Richard and Liz Lehr came down. We are sad to see Rich and Liz move from Kampsville. They will be missed. The old Center for American Archeology also came down. Sadly we will have more to follow. We absolutely know the flooded buildings need to come down but it’s so hard to see so much empty space in our village. How things are continuing to move forward here in Kampsville and everyone is working hard to find ways to improve our village. Mayor Wade and many helpers worked on the Shower Houses on Sunday and they are looking fabulous. They are now fully functional. This was all done at zero cost to the village thanks to donations and the help of volunteers. Kampsville was also a busy place again this weekend. Our campground continues to have several campers. The Queen of Hearts at the Legion packed a big crowd on Friday evening. Saturday the Center for American Archeology held Archeology Days and a nice crowd also attended that. It’s also not too late to sign up for the barbecue

Dalene also showed Sandy the fabulous farm where she lived with her family until she and Bill married. They really enjoyed seeing all the American Flags flying all over the cemetery.

Calhoun County Farm Bureau Celebrates 100 Years! The Calhoun County Farm Bureau held a 100 year Celebration on July 10, 2021. The celebration had approx. 125 in attendance at the Knights of Columbus Hall in Hardin. Attending the event along with members of the farm bureau were Illinois Farm Bureau President Richard Guebert, Illinois Farm Bureau Vice-President Brian Duncan and his wife Kelly, Steve Koeller, District #15 Director, Dee Dee Gellerman, Region three Manager, Representative CD Davidsmeyer and Senator Steve McClure. The Calhoun Coun-

ty Farm Bureau was formed in August of 1920. The 1000 or more landowners came together at a school in Hardin. Since there were so many in attendance, the first meeting was moved out of doors. The landowners were trying to find a better way to ship, pack and sell their apples. That night, 530 farmers enrolled as charter members of the Farm Bureau. The first board of directors were: Albert Frank, He was elected President; Henry Decker, Vice-President; John Day Jr, Secretary; H.S. Dixon, Treasurer, A.G. Foiles, Martin Baumann,

Chris Ringhausen, John J Kinder and John Herter. The Illinois Farm Bureau provides education and information to help farmers, while supporting legislation and lobbying efforts about agricultural issues. Senator McClure and Representative C.D. Davidsmeyer spoke to the IFB members about issue certificates and the stepped-up basis concern that has been a big issue with all local farmers and landowners in the area. McClurestuck and Daivdsmeyer opened up the floor to IFB members for discussions.

Both men spoke about the importance of the IFB and why they use the IFB to bring support to local farmers and rural communities. One issue that some of the members discussed with Senator McClure and Representative Davidsmeyer were how Calhoun County has problems with their boat ramps and the cleanup with the ramps landing. After doing some research, Senator McClure and Davidsmeryer asked that our community members contact these offices for more information on how to resolve the issue.

Offices to contact: Senator McClure District Office - Jacksonville 217-245-7457 Specifically ask for Scott Representative C.D. Davidsmeyer Office Building - Springfield 217-782-1840 IL IDNR Region IV - West Central Pere Marquette Office 618-786-3323

Affordable housing for community college students becomes law Community college boards of trustees and local housing authorities will now have authority to develop affordable housing for community college students, under a new law sponsored by State Senator Doris Turner (D—Springfield). “This is about bettering the college experience for every student in this state,” said Turner. “Research shows that students who live on campus have higher GPAs. When students live on campus they are more plugged-in to the

campus community and have more opportunities to join clubs, attend events and meet new people.” Traditionally, community colleges do not have the right to own student housing. In order for community colleges to develop affordable housing for students, the process must be administered through a local Housing Authority or nonprofit organization. Those speaking out in favor of this legisla-

St. Jude Novena

tion also suggest that restricted housing on community college campuses fails to meet the needs of every student. Traditionally, community colleges have catered to students living within a reasonable driving distance of the school, but while that arrangement works for some students, more students are facing a lengthy and costly commute. That can present a challenging barrier to those living at a distance, including international students.

Now hiring seasonal employees for Springfield and Du Quoin State Fair The Illinois Department of Agriculture is seeking individuals for seasonal employment at the Illinois and Du Quoin State Fairs. Temporary employees are needed for the following areas: maintenance, customer service, cashier, ticket sales, grandstand ticket takers, and security.

Sievers and Calhoun High School(CHS) are USA National High School Clay Target League 2021 National Champions According to a press release by the USA National High School Clay Target League, “With over 38,000 participating athletes in the 2020-2021 school year, the USA Clay Target League is the largest youth clay target shooting sport program in the nation. The League offers trap, skeet, sporting clays, and 5-stand leagues to secondary and postsecondary schools across the country.” The press release mentions that the League is the only 100 percent school-approved clay target shooting sport program in America League’s co-ed and adaptive nature are key attractions to schools nationwide. “The League is fully Title IX compliant with both male and female athletes competing on the same team. Additionally, it’s an ‘adaptive’ sport, which allows students with physical disabilities to take part. The League is also the safest sport in high school, with not one reported injury since the inception of the League in 2001. Each athlete must complete firearm safety certification before participation.” The League attracts student athletes to participate in shooting sports while creating a ‘virtual’ competition among other League teams throughout each state. Family travel is minimal because practice and competition are conducted at a shooting range near each school’s location. Conferences are determined by team size rather than geographic location for fair competition. Full scores and standings are available at http://claytargetleaderboard.com or you also go to their website at http:// usaclaytargetchampionship.com/2021/07/13/champions/ for photos and video. Here are the stats from the tournament that CHS won:
