COVID-19 is low in Calhoun By CYNTHIA HAGGITT Calhoun News-Herald As the reports of COVID-19 have slowed, individual states and counties like Calhoun County have tracked their own cases and presented them to the public with varying degrees of speed and accuracy. “The number of positive cases has been relatively low in Calhoun County, with nine cases for the total in June and five cases as of July 22,” Jamie Bailey, registered nurse at the Calhoun Health Department, said. “Three cases were being reported about just last week.” Bailey said they tend to lag behind as cases are increasing in the surrounding counties.

“We can expect that our numbers may also rise. At this time, all of our current cases have been tested using the rapid antigen tests and these show only positive or negative,” Bailey said. Bailey mentioned the Delta variant is determined by a PCR test. The test would need to be performed and then sent to the state lab for sequencing. Most labs send a certain percentage of PCR tests weekly to the state lab for sequencing and that’s how it’s determined what percentage of a variant is circulating. “The Delta variant is showing to be more contagious than previous variants. As a vaccinated person, it is a rare possibility to become infected with COVID-19 as no vaccine provides 100 percent protection,” Bailey

said. “Generally symptoms are much less severe if you are fully vaccinated.” According to a press release sent by the Illinois Department of Health on Friday, July 23, the preliminary sevenday statewide positivity for cases as a percent of the total tests from July 16-22, was 3.3 percent. A total of 13,056,857 vaccines have been administered in Illinois as of last week. The seven-day rolling average of vaccines administered daily is 19,928 doses. Since reporting on Friday, July 16, 139,495 doses have been administered in Illinois. “At this time, vaccine boosters are not currently deemed necessary until further research and data have been collected, ” Bailey said. “We con-

Locals gear up for upcoming Kampsville Celebration By HALEY DISTERHOFT Calhoun News-Herald The time for festivities is near as residents of Kampsville prepare for their annual Kampsville Celebration. Not held since 2018, the Village of Kampsville is ready to bring back the summer time celebration that initially started in the 90s as a way to celebrate the Fourth of July. With most COVID restrictions lifted for the time being, it makes this year’s celebration all the more special for the community. “It’s coming back bigger and better than I’ve ever seen it from the time that we started it,” Kampsville mayor Wade Gibson said. “We’ve got a huge group of wonderful people involved in it which has not happened in years.” On Saturday, Aug. 14, the parade begins at 10 a.m. and then festivities begin at 11 a.m., centering around the newly painted Kampsville stage. Some of the activities planned include a baby contest, beauty pageant, BBQ cookoff, a watermelon eating con-

test, a cookie stacking contest, the newlywed game, bounce houses and kid games. Food and entertainment will be available, including musical performances by the band, Calhoun County Accident. Several local businesses and nonprofits are set to be vendors including the Center for American Archaeology who will provide spear throwing and cornsilk doll making, the DARE program, which will provide drug facts, and the health department will provide further health education. Gibson wants to focus on involving people from the county and include as many nonprofits as possible to help give back to them. The overall celebration will be free to attend but food and games will cost small fees accordingly. “Any proceeds we make will go back into the celebration for next year; however, that’s really not our main focus, it’s about the community involvement and getting everyone in our community–and when I say com-

munity, Jersey, Greene, Calhoun– a reason to get together, celebrate that things are hopefully on the rise and just bring people together again,” Gibson said. The celebration will be made possible by all the effort the community has poured into the project. Gibson wanted to extend his thanks to everyone involved, including James Palmer, Rob and Kim Parmenter, Bill and Marcia Agney, Diane Brangenberg, Eddie and Amanda Johnson, Brenda Johnson, Brianna Snyders, Debbie Klunk, Jennifer Roth, Paul and Meghan Klunk, Dennis and Robin Johnson, Jamie and Melody Siemer, Steve Manos, Jason King, Mike Johnson, Jodi Becker, Pat Gotway, Shawn Shewmake, Kenny Johnson, Janette and Shannon Johnson and Nina Wilson. “It takes a village,” Gibson added, and it’s clear the Village of Kampsville is putting all their love and effort into making this celebration one to remember.

VOLUME 148 - ISSUE 30

By CYNTHIA HAGGITT Calhoun News-Herald “We reopened on July 18 and the remodel went really well,” Beth Kronable, the owner of the Hardin Subway restaurant, said. “We love it, my team loves it and the customers are loving it. We are planning to have a grand store re-opening which will take place in a week or two.” Kronable said all their indoor dining furniture and all of their light fixtures sold really quickly. “The inside of the restaurant is completely updated. We have new floors, lighting, tables and chairs. Business has been busier too,” Kronable said. Our sandwich sales have gone up ever since we re-opened and have nearly doubled in the amount of sandwiches we usually make in a day. In the day’s time before the remodel, the restaurant was making about 100 sandwiches during business hours.” “People are coming in, commenting on the new look and business has picked up since we opened the doors again,” Kronable continued. “We are now making 200 sandwiches, if not more.” Kronable said if anyone is curious and can’t make it in just yet, they can keep up-to-date on Facebook. Kronable is very grateful for the support they had from Jeff Gress who is a personal friend and contractor. Gress helped with the store remodel. She also said that her kids have been very supportive and others from the community as well. “A huge thank you to our kids and grandkids, Keith and Wanda Blackwell, Dave and Cheryl Cassens, Bruce Ringhausen, Chris Kronable, Jeff Gress, Kerry Baalman, Riley Baalman, Nick Hazelwonder and AJ Hillen,” Kronable said. “Without all of you we never

could have pulled this off! Calhoun people are the best!”

The Calhoun County Health Department is committed to the citizens of Calhoun County.” According to the St. Louis website, since Monday, July 26, masks have been required at indoor public places in St. Louis County regardless of vaccination status. The new mandate includes people who have already been vaccinated. According to a press release Monday, July 26, wearing a mask while indoors with others reduces the risk of both getting and transmitting the virus.

The Brussels Unit #42 School board held honors and special recognitions By CYNTHIA HAGGITT Calhoun News-Herald The Brussels Unit #42 met on Wednesday, July 20 at 7 p.m. “We were at a slight handicap that night as only five of the seven school board members were in attendance,” Mark Martin, the Brussels Unit #42 superintendent, said. “The two members who were absent were our president, Amanda Brodbeck, and our vice president, Deborah Jordan.” Martin explained since the school board president and school board vice president were absent Patrick Simon stepped in for the first time to help finish the meeting. Roll call was taken. The school’s treasury report was presented by Martin and it was approved as written. The board went on to make special recognitions. The Brussels Community Unit School District has 42 students on the Golden Eagle Trap team. The team was honored by the board because of its continued winning ways at the State Shoot in Sparta, Illinois. In the trap singles division the awards were as follows: Trap Singles Q Rookie–second place was Jed Struse. Q IA–second place: Madalyn Nolte and Ryan Hagen. Q Senior second–third place: Hope Smith, Kaden Nolte, Austin Friedel and Colton Snyders. Trap Q High Overall–Female: Alyssa Bonner. Q IA–First place: Ryan Hagen. Double Trap Q IA–Second place: Ryan Hagen. Double Skeet Q IA–First place: Ryan Hagen. Skeet Q IA–First place: Ryan Hagen. The board continued to their next order of business and they declared their gratitude to their school district secretary, Ann Williams, for her hours of work she had done to get the district’s new online registration up and running. They also acknowledged two teachers for heading up the elementary school’s tutoring program: Kim Zimmerman and Megan Steward. The two teachers provided extra support to the summer school students. The summer workers have been cleaning, moving furniture, waxing and painting. Martin noted that the buildings are going to look great and he thanked Morgan Klaas, Caleb Katzenberger, Cheynne Pohlmann, Isaiah Katzenberger and Lexi Katzenberger. Brussels High School alumni Ellie Nolte and Andrew Heffington will be performing the musical. ‘Grease,’ presented by the Calhoun Entertainment Company. Nolte is playing the role of Frenchy and Heffington plays the role of Eugene. Also, board member Debra Jordan will play the role of the alumni. Next, the school board welcomed visitors to the floor to address their concerns. Megan Murphy, the third and fourth grade elementary school teacher spoke to the board and asked if it would be interested in creating a science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) program at the school. “Murphy previously taught this program at her prior school. The board voted and it was passed,” Martin said. “I think the students are really going to enjoy this.” The board approved the budget hearing and regular board meeting minutes from June 15. The administrative reports were the next order of business for the board. The board listened to Brussels High School Principal Pam Long. Both she and Martin discussed what the school district was wanting for school photography. (See, RECOGNITIONS, A2)

The CEC has been hosting musicals for over thirty years and continues to positively impact the tri-county region in the realm of the arts, which helps explain why the company received additional support for this year’s musical from the Two Rivers Art Council.

Groundbreaking held for Brussels Fiber Internet Residents and businesses in Brussels will soon have access to reliable, fast internet. Illinois Electric Cooperative held a groundbreaking for the construction of the fiber optic internet network on Monday. Attending the groundbreaking were representatives of Illinois Electric Cooperative, the Village of Brussels, Calhoun County and Wiemelt Excavating. Part of the funding for Brussels’ fiber optic network is through the Connect Illinois grant program. Illinois Electric Cooperative was awarded $3,443,670 in the first round of funding for broadband expansion under Governor Pritzker’s and Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity’s Rebuild Illinois program. Twenty-eight broadband projects by 18 internet service providers, rural cooperatives, nonprofits and local governments were selected in the first round from all across the state. Grant applications were reviewed and evaluated on a competitive basis, with pro-

posals assessed in seven categories: broadband impact, matching funds, community support, project readiness, project sustainability, broadband adoption assistance, and shared use/open access. Applicants were eligible for up to $5 million per project, and they were required to provide a nonstate funding match of at least 50 percent. Connect Illinois aims to expand broadband across the entire state with a focus on improving telehealth, education and economic development. Brussels fiber internet project is part of the larger Calhoun Fiber initiative by Illinois Electric Cooperative. The co-op continues to work on the network throughout all of Calhoun County simultaneously. Calhoun Fiber is a multi-year project. Once all is said and done, there will be 421 miles of fiber optic cable ran in Calhoun. More information on the project can be found on &DOKRXQ)LEHU FRP

Recognitions (Continued from A1) “Originally the school used the company Lifetouch for school photos, however due to some issues with the company and their poor customer service the board made a motion to use another company this year,” Martin said. “The company the board approved was Wagner Photography,” “The sports co-op was also included in the administrative reports,” Martin said. The matter was discussed at length and each district had a two-member committee that worked together to help sort out the issues regarding the sports co-op. “Our committee talked about what they knew about the sports co-op. However, the biggest topic that was covered was in regard to the CDC guidelines regarding health concerns for our schools this year,” Martin said. “By addressing these concerns, change can happen for the better,” Martin said. “We will have to contact our insurance company and our attorney, which Calhoun #40 also has the same people. We will provide this information at a special meeting in the near future.” “We are concerned and our main goal is the safety of students, faculty and both districts as a whole,” Martin said. “Remember though, after a full year of COVID-19 under the old guidelines, we were open from August through May. Some students were exposed and quarantined from time to time but a short closure happened because a teacher was exposed around their home community.” The other problem the school district is having is the lack of substitute teachers in both communities. “Calhoun #40 has the same number of substitutes as we do and it is a tight situation, especially if a shutdown happens again,” Martin said. Martin explained why the schools had such success at

staying open last year during the COVID-19 pandemic. “It is because people who are the bus drivers, our cooks and our teachers– they set an example through the work effort and actions of being role models to the student body. They worked hard and wore their masks always. The kids saw this and they too wore their masks without complaints. In the coming school year, the goal is to have the same attention to detail like before, which will be established under the guidelines presented by the school board,” Martin said. Under new business, Martin talked about seeking the approval of the 2021-2022 school year fuel prices and propane costs. He said requests were sent out for bids on the diesel, fuel and fuel oil to Medford Oil Company and Tri-County FS. Medford Oil decided not to provide a proposal but Tri-County FS did submit a bid. The board agreed to the proposal. “The approval of the fiscal year 2022 consolidation plan was brought to the board and discussed. They also sought approval from the Illinois School Board’s research from the ISP,” Martin said. Under ISP, the district will seek out grant money under Titles I, II, IIII and IDEA for special education. Martin said it was voted and approved. They also discussed the audit for the school district. “We usually use the company Franklin and Lauer but they were unavailable so the district had to go shopping for another auditor,” Martin said. “We contacted several places

such as Hughes Cameron and Loy Miller Talley and Dennis Rose and Associates to have them look over the school’s proposal. Dennis Rose and Associates sent and agreed to the proposal. It was then chosen by the board and voted for approval.” Martin also said the board approved the new math program. “We had our teachers sit through a couple of presentations. The teachers decided on the ‘Big Idea.’ This program is by Cenage and part of the National Geographic Learning program. The program will be helpful to our teachers due to its resources they provide online,” Martin said. The board also listened to explanations on the importance of the Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief Fund (ESSER Fund), specifically about the Elementary And Secondary School Emergency Relief Fund II. The ESSER II was to help cover a budget for the Big Idea program but it isn’t covered,” Martin said. The board went into a closed session at 9:39 p.m. to discuss personnel issues and came back out of closed session at 10:00 p.m. “The board approved the hiring of Scott Kiel as the new high school basketball coach. The board also approved the tuition for a special needs student to attend a class in Carrollton and they approved transportation for the student,” Martin said. “The board will make an announcement and will hire someone for employment.”

Another busy weekend in Kampsville. The Spaghetti Dinner on Sunday, at the Kampsville Legion Post #1083 to benefit the Kampsville Celebration was a huge success. Thank you Mayor Wade Gibson and all who came out to help with our cause. Rep. CD Davidsmeyer also came to enjoy delicious food and show his support. A huge thanks to those that baked, donated baskets and helped before, during and after. Thank you Mark and Debbie at the Pavilion for your generosity. Ervin and Claudette Oberjohann were honored at the dinner with a plaque and a corsage. The couple was honored for their many contributions and support over the years to our village. They will also be serving as the grand marshal’s for our parade on Aug 14 starting at 10 a.m. to kick off our celebration. They are wonderfully deserving. Ervin and Claudette were two of the original people to help get this celebration started. Diana Young made a beautiful quilt to be donated for the Celebration.Young makes us a quilt every year unfortunately the last two years we haven’t got to have the celebration. So this one has just been waiting for us. Tickets can be purchased and it can be seen at the Pavilion.

Another successful event this weekend was the American Legion Auxiliary’s yard sale and it was held Friday and Saturday. They were able to sell most of their stuff and make funds to help our Veterans out. The Calhoun County Historical Society held their first meeting in a year due to Covid. Tuesday night at Straight Home. They had about 30 people in attendance and the guest speaker was Dr. Jason King from the Center for American Archeology. The President of the Historical Society is Emerson Retzer. Retzer has been there for 30 years and continues to do a wonderful job. Aug. 14 will be here before you know it; so make plans to be in Kampsville for the Celebration and Fireworks. Stay tuned to my column for next week, as I share with you all of the fun things we’re going to have available. Don’t forget to mark your calendar this weekend and get your tickets. The Calhoun Entertainment Company’s Summer musical “Grease ‘’ will be at the fairgrounds. I sat through the entire rehearsal on Sunday evening. I was blown away at the talent and how hard the cast has worked. Get your tickets! We are so blessed here in our county to have young ones who are continuing on with

Police Need Our Support.” In this day and age, just as it was in past generations, and will be in future generations, law and order is a must! To establish this law, we must work together. No one person, not even a policeman can do this by himself. He needs our aid. ‘ With the rising crime rate, a policeman’s job is becoming more dangerous and less desirable. If everyone would do his own fair share, a policeman’s job would be a lot easier. A policeman’s job is one of great importance; yet how many people realize this fact? How many people are aware that the man they had been criticizing and mocking may have saved their life by giving you a ticket for speeding? Have you ever thanked him for it? When was the last time you let him know you support his ideas, and appreciate his valiant efforts to make this a better country to live in? Every man needs to know that his job is fulfilling its purpose. Don’t criticize your policemen, support them, do it now! In the profession of a policeman, the difference between a job well done, and one not so, could make a difference between life and death. 75 years ago July 25, 1946 Arthur, Harrison, Edwin and Fred Schulze of Deer

family farming. I purchased sweet corn from Walker and Wyatt Sibley as I have for the last few years. Not only did they grow it right here, they also delivered it right to my door. Although I gladly would’ve gone to their house and picked it up, it’s so nice to see young kids working over the summer on these kinds of things. I also know of so many kids in high school who are peddling produce this year . I see young kids working at the ice cream shops and restaurants. I realize that there is definitely a problem right now in people not wanting to work. But I hate when I hear “this younger generation won’t work”. Please don’t judge a whole generation on just some people who won’t work. We have a lot of kids in Calhoun who are working some of them more than one job. Remember, try not to judge. I enjoyed my grandson Shaeffer’s second birthday on Sunday at Dickson Mounds. Shaeffer will be turning two on the 26. Happy Birthday Joanne Dexheimer July 25. Please continue prayers for Amy Roth, Joyce Blumenberg, Darren Kress, Joe Gress, Jim Hill, Raymond Sievers, Isabel McGlaughin, Rick Randazzo, Bruce Williams, Bill Schumann, Eileen Gardner, Linda Herkert, Jerry Crader, and Kathryn Chapman. Plain, owners of the Schulze Brothers Nursery, are members of the flying farmers of the Prairie Farmer organization, and have been invited to attend the first annual field day at Purdue University, West Lafayette, Ind., Monday, July 29. A crowd of 10,000 farmers, many of whom will fly their own personal planes, are expected to attend. The group was organized last March for the promotion of better flying conditions in local communities and is now composed of 1,000 members. The Schulze brothers have their own plane and have been taking flying lessons the past few months. During the Flying Farmer Field Day, there will be demonstrations of crop dusting, seeding and spreading fertilizer and other interesting farm events. 100 years ago July 28, 1921 Mrs. Sophia Matthews, proprietress of the Perry House Hotel in Hardin, gave a quilting Wednesday of last week. Her mother, Mrs. Kraut, of south of town, had a quilt that she wanted quilted and the good daughter told her to bring it up to her home and she would show her how to do the job- and she did. Mrs. Matthews, who is well acquainted with the ladies of Hardin who are double quick with the needle, invited a few of them to her home and quicker than it takes to tell it the quilt was finished and ready to serve its purpose. And that wasn’t all- the ladies stopped long enough to partake of a supply of dainty refreshments served by Mrs. Matthews.

“Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moths and vermin destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moths and vermin do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” Matthew 6:19-21 NIV

hile it is hyperbolic and perhaps also sour grapes to argue that he is richest who needs the least, it is certainly true that the pursuit of wealth is never-ending, and the more one has, the more one has to worry about. Social scientists who study the relationship between happiness and wealth tell us that there is a small positive correlation between wealth and happiness, which is mainly because extreme poverty makes one miserable. But once you have achieved a modicum of wealth, having a lot more does not generally make you a lot happier. (Great disparities in wealth can also influence happiness, presumably because it

pains us to see others who are tremendously wealthy when we are living in poverty.) Spiritual teachers have almost always advised us to be wary of wealth and its trappings, since wealth brings with it worries of its own and a false sense of security. They have also advised us to be happy with what we have, however modest it may be. And perhaps the best advice in this regard is to consider that there are both material and spiritual riches, and the spiritual ones are by far the better ones. –Christopher Simon

The heat and humidity has returned since Friday, Temperatures in mid to upper 90’s and heat index from 100 to 108. Difficult for us older folks to stay outdoors for a long period of time. Many thanks to Willis Carrier who designed the first modern air conditioning system back in July of 1902! On Saturday, July 17, a Bridal Shower and Brunch in honor of Brittany Wallendorf was held at the Brussels American Legion Hall. The event was hosted by her bridesmaids with many family and friends in attendance.

Brittany will become the bride of Brandon Hall on September 18, 2021. Liz Toppmeyer accompanied Julie and Caleb Carnes of Edwardsville on Saturday, July 17 to a Baby Shower for Abigail Stueve.

Also among those stopping by were Jerry Zahrli and later in the day Rev. Louis Schlangen of Mendon. Jim and Sharon had brought donuts and Danish from Duke’s Bakery for mid-morning coffee break. Many more happy and especially healthy ones Marie! On Wednesday Marie accompanied her daughters Barb Ward and Sharon McLeod to Taylorville where they spent 3 days. On Thursday evening they enjoyed dinner and a visit with Marie’s grandson and family, Patrick, Rachael and Henry in Mount Zion. Sharon and Marie were also able to see Barb’s new home in Taylorville.

After the delicious meal a meeting was held. The group had not met since March of 2020 due to the COVID. So nice to see everyone again! John and Caleb Carnes of Edwardsville spent a day with me over the weekend. Of course not a lot of time together as the guys were picking up limbs, mowing, doing trim work, spraying, gardening, you name it. They did have lunch and dinner with me so we got a bit of visiting in then. Many thanks once again to them for all their hard work! Bob Held, his sons Eric and Phil Held drove to Wisconsin for several days last week. They enjoyed time with Rae and Jean (Held) Payne, at their beautiful

home on the lake there. Heard they also enjoyed time boating on the lake. The family of Denny and Carol Rose returned recently from a week in the Pigeon Forge, Smoky Mountains, Gatlinburg, TN area. Family members enjoying the trip were Brian and Laura Meeker, Brad and Brayden, Willie and Renee Rose, Charlotte, Anderson and Emme Kate, Ben and Jill Rose, Claire and Lila and Jill Pikesley, Alexa and Landon. While there they enjoyed riding the Gatlingburg Ski Lift to the Theme Park, white water rafting, bumper cars, swimming, miniature golf, etc. and also celebrated Denny and Carol’s wedding anniversary. Enroute home they spent time in Nashville where they visited places of interest, especially enjoying the Opryland Hotel. Sounds like they all had a wonderful time and made lots of memories. Virginia Murphy and her daughter Charlene Haug spent last Thursday with their sister and aunt Melba Hendricks in Wood River. They also enjoyed visiting with Melba’s daughter Beth Ann from western Missouri. They enjoyed a wonderful lunch and afternoon of visiting. Dave and Mary Kirn and Danny Kirn all of Golden Eagle attended the visitation of Mel Aumiller at Pittman Funeral Home in Wentzville, MO on Tuesday evening.

and visitors of Keith and Becky Baecht and sons Matthew and Samuel on Saturday evening. Keith and family were camping at Pere Marquette Camp Grounds. While there Keith took George out in his boat fishing and the ladies enjoyed a nice visit. Happy to hear St. Barbara’s Church Picnic in Batchtown was a huge success on Saturday evening.

Birthday Blessings this week to Linda Halemeyer, Bernadine Snyders, Brent Schulze, Paul Seiferman, Carol Churchman, Sheila Katzenberger, Cody LaMarsh, Adam Herter, Janet Fuller, Alexis LaMarsh, Jan Hagen Bick and all others celebrating their natal day this week. Prayer for Strength and Courage Dear Lord, Give us the wisdom to know what is important in life and the courage to pursue those things. Our lives lately have been filled with an overload of obligations, distractions and information coming at us and we end up feeling tired and worn down. We’re not getting things done as we should and sometimes even failing to take care of our own health. Help us slow down and focus, and not be afraid to say no. Show us balance and harmony between what we need to do for others and also for ourselves. Amen

Q Batchtown News The St. Barbara Church Batchtown Picnic was a huge success. The turtle soup and beef sandwiches sold out in record time. Orders were taken before the 4 p.m. mass. All of the orders were delivered after mass ended and orders were picked up through a drive through line. We thank everyone for coming to the Batchtown Picnic and our hope for next year’s picnic is to have the same food, games, and activities that we normally plan for our community picnics. Jeremy and Lydia Swan, of Roodhouse, are the proud parents of a baby boy. Miles Lawrence Swan was born on June 28, at Alton Memorial Hospital (AMH). Grandparents are Roger and Angela Roades and George Swan, Kimberly Pence Swan and Great Grandfather Jerome Swan. Bernie Snyders is home after a recent hospital stay.

Kampsville holds first spaghetti dinner in our community,” Gibson said. “Ervin and Claudette will be this year’s grand marshals in the Kampsville Celebration Parade 2021.” The American Legion Post #1083 donated the hall for the dinner. They held a 50/50 raffle and desserts were provided by Debbie Becker, owner of the Pavillion. “Becker helped make and donated the salad, sugar, bags and desserts,” Gibson said. “Thank you to everyone who helped set up, serve food, clean up, make desserts and make baskets. It was a great turnout.” “State Representative C.D. Davidsmeyer even took the time out of his day by coming to dinner. It was a pleasure to meet him,” Gibson said. The Kampsville Summer Celebration will be held on Aug. 14.

By CYNTHIA HAGGITT The Calhoun News-Herald Mayor Wade Gibson started yesterday making his 12 hour homemade spaghetti sauce for the village’s first ever Spaghetti Dinner. The dinner was held at the American Legion on July 25, from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. “Words do not even express how thankful we are to live in a small village full of great people,” Gibson said. “It was a huge success.” During the dinner, Ervin and Claudette Oberjohann were honored by Gibson and Jen Roth. The couple was recognized with a plaque and corsage. The Oberjohanns were honored for their contributions to the Village of Kampsville. “It was an honor to recognize two outstanding people

Remember the old days at St. Norbert’s? This picture of the St. Norbert’s Church and congregation was taken in September 1941 during the pastorate of Reverend Butler, who began his tenure with the church in 1936 and remained there through the 1950s, being succeeded by the Reverend Henry Knoedler, who started with the church in 1957. At the time this picture was captured, the church building was only a little over 25 years old. Take a gander and you might see yourself, your parents or your grandparents pictured.

REAL ESTATE/SPORTS/SCHOOL/NEWS

Calhoun 12U boys finish first in league and second in end of year Tournament The Calhoun 12U team on a very successful season. They finished with a final record of 10 wins and three losses. On July 7th, North Greene visited Calhoun to play for the end of the year tournament championship. In a hard fought extra inning battle, North Greene outlasted Calhoun in nine innings for a seven to six victory. At one point Calhoun was down four to one but fought back and pecked

away at the visiting team’s lead; eventually tying the game at six with three straight two out hits in the bottom seventh, scoring two runs and forcing extra innings. North Greene scored one in the ninth and Calhoun threatened in the bottom of the gth but could not push across another run. As Calhoun was missing four players, the remaining players picked up the slack, and showed a lot of heart, but North Greene finally prevailed.

Leading the way was Charlie Mathews(Pt baseman/pitcher), with five and half innings pitched along with 13 strikeouts, at the plate Mathews was three for four with a triple, four RBI’s and three stolen bases.Lane Eilerman (shortstop/pitcher) played a big role as well with three innings pitched and tallying seven strikeouts; at the plate, Eilerman was one for four with a walk, three stolen bases, two runs scored, and one

RBI. Other key contributors were Jordan Hillen (catcher/infielder) two for four with a walk, four stolen bases and two runs scored. Micheal Vogel (utility man/pitcher) was one-four with a double, one run scored and a stolen base. Grant Jacobs (utility infielder/ pitcher) was two for four with two stolen bases. Riley Lorsbach (third baseman/outfielder) drew a walk, was hit by a pitch and picked up two stolen bases. Bryant

Friedel (second baseman/pitcher) drew a walk and tallied two stolen bases. Carlin Pohlman (center fielder) drew a walk, stole two bases and scored a run. Killian Lockwood (outfielder) drew two walks. Other team members include Colton Hall (outfielder), Liam Simon (third basemen/pitcher), Colton Reate (catcher/outfielder), Auggie Webster (utility infielder), and Charlie Goode (outfielder).

Kampsville Summer Celebration pageant is still open for Registration

By CYNTHIA HAGGITT The Calhoun News-Herald The Kampsville Summer Celebration is on Aug. 14 which means the Kampsville pageant is only three weeks away. Registration is still available for the Kampsville Summer Celebration Pageants. “We haven’t shut the contest off yet as I’m hoping to have more participants,” Diane Brangenber said. Brangenber and Lindsey Taul are in charge of the pageant . “Right now I only have two little girls lined up and three little boys, however I have 12 toddlers and 12 baby contestants,” Brangenber said.

I have all of my contestants coming together on Aug. 4 for a group picture of each category,” The categories for the Kampsville Summer Celebration Pageants are as follows: Baby Kampsville: Q Age requirements 6 months - 23 months. Toddler Kampsville: Q Age 2-3 years old Little Miss Kampsville/ Little Mr. Kampsville: Q 4-8 years old. The Kampsville Summer Celebration Pageant participants must be a permanent resident of Calhoun Counties. It has been said that a pag-

eant like this is a great opportunity for having children meet kids their own age and when involving kids in pageants like Little Miss Kampsville/ Little Mister Kampsville. They will learn skills about listening, poise and gain more confidence in themselves. Even the little participants learn something positive from their experiences and their parents will have great memories to share with them. The skills that all participants have will continue with them as they grow and learn to be successful in life. Anyone interested in signing up contact, Lindsey Taul thru Messenger or Diane Brangenberg thru Messenger or at 618-535-5915.
