Hardin Village PD dissolved By JARAD JARMON Calhoun News-Herald It has been a month since the Hardin Village Council dissolved the village’s police department, and for the most part, the only thing that has changed is the uniforms people might notice in the county, according to local law enforcement. “It is going to be business as usual,� Calhoun County Sheriff Bill Heffington said. “The guys in brown shirts always covered Hardin.� It was at the beginning of the month that the Hardin Village Council voted to disband the Village of Hardin Police Department and allow the Calhoun County Sheriff’s Office to handle the general duties that the village normally would take on. Although the move was a relatively big one, this is something the village has had to do before in the past. “It has been on again and off again (for the department’s history),� Former Hardin Police Chief Greg Weishaupt said The Calhoun County Sheriff’s Office had previously handled all police protection for the village at various times in the past, when the village police department had no police chief or no other police officers. At other times, when a village police department was viable as was the case in recent years. Most recently, former Mayor Bill Horman re-established the department

with Jim Franke, for whom a lot at the four-way in Hardin is named, as police chief. The torch was later passed on to Mike Rexford and then Weishaupt, who was the last in that role before the department was shuttered June 30. This time around, the department’s end came from financial constraints. “It is a money cost-saver for the village,â€? Weishaupt said. â€œâ€ŚThe town is financially stressed.â€? Even still, the decision is one that came as some relief to Weishaupt. For months, Weishaupt has served in two capacities — one as the Hardin police chief and the other as the Calhoun Sheriff’s Office Deputy Chief. And, this decision simplified what status he was working under, and in the process, freed up some personal time. “Truthfully, it has allowed me to have a little bit of time off,â€? Weishaupt said. “While I might look like I was off here, I was working there.â€? Weishaupt noted it would have been nice to see an additional officer in the Hardin department, but he understood the limitations on that front. “Ideally, it would have been nice to have enough money to hire an additional full-time officer, but that is unrealistic,â€? Weishaupt said. Heffington and Weishaupt stressed the county would still be covered. (See, DISSOLVED, A2)

Locals warned of area unemployment fraud reports By JARAD JARMON Calhoun News Herald

A

s is the case across the nation, locals are finding themselves victims of a recent spate of unemployment fraud, and local law enforcement are calling on locals to be wary. The Illinois Department of Employment Security (IDES) has uncovered and is investigating a widespread fraud scheme that is being conducted nationwide, impacting each state’s federal Pandemic Unemployment Assistance (PUA) programs, implemented as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. PUA provides 100 percent federally funded unemployment benefits for hundreds of thousands of individuals who were not traditionally covered by a state’s regular unemployment insurance program, including self-

employed and sole proprietors. Under this program, 39 weeks’ worth of benefits are available to PUA claimants whose claims can be backdated as early as Feb. 2, 2020, with benefits ending Dec. 26, 2020. And through this scheme, those in the county have been hit as well. According to Calhoun County Sheriff’s Office officials, three cases have been reported in the county — a husband and a wife and another individual. It was noted though that these might not be the only ones in the county who were affected. “A lot of people don’t even know it yet,� Calhoun Sheriff Bill Heffington said. According to a news release, an individual who has not filed an unemployment claim but has received a debit card or an unemployment insurance (UI) finding letter in the mail has most likely been the target of fraud. An individual’s personal identifying information is being used by

fraudsters to file an unemployment claim likely because of a prior cyber hack or data breach, such as the Equifax breach. Calhoun Deputy Sheriff Weishaupt explained the fraudsters apply for unemployment on behalf of an individual and swipe the unemployment funds electronically from the card set to be mailed to the individual. Many of the fraudsters are believed to be from another country. According to the news release, the IDES is aggressively cracking down on this fraud network, with a dedicated team of staffers responsible for handling and investigating unemployment fraud. This team is working directly with individuals whose identities are being used or have possibly been stolen. IDES is also working with local and federal law enforcement authorities to investigate, pursue and prosecute those who are defrauding the unemployment insurance system. It is imperative that individuals take

certain steps if they have not filed an unemployment claim and have erroneously received an unemployment debit card or UI finding letter in the mail. “As soon as they get a card in the mail, don’t think it is junk mail. [They should] contact the numbers on the card, and tell them, ‘I did not apply for this,’ and report it to their local law enforcement agency,� Weishaupt said. The IDES urges people to take the following steps: Q Immediately call IDES at 800814-0513, and when prompted, option 1 for claimants and then option 5 for report identity theft. Q Do not activate the debit card that was mailed to you. Have your credit report checked for possible suspicious activity and post a fraud alert. Q Visit the Federal Trade Commission’s website to learn helpful tips on recognizing and reporting (See, FRAUD, A2)

Kim Klaas announced bid for County Commissioner seat

Turkey vulture is such an odd, unique bird By BILL HOAGLAND Earlier this week, during a morning walk in the woods, I “bumped into” a very odd looking creature—one that I had never seen before. It obviously was a bird of some kind, but all it could do was to hop around on the ground; it could not fly despite the fact that it had wings. It was relatively big by my standards, larger than a crow or hawk, but not the size of an eagle. The two strangest aspects of this encounter was that it did not seem the least bit frightened by my presence and second, while the wings and head were black, the neck, legs and torso of this creature was covered with white, puffy fur. He kind of looked like a punk rocker from the ’80s. It turns out that what I saw was an immature turkey vulture. Apparently, turkey vultures do not build nests to provide shelter for their young. Instead, their young are hatched right on the ground and essentially left to fend for themselves during daylight hours while the parents go out and forage for food. When the parents return, they call for their hatchlings— usually just one or two in a brood—and the young birds run to the parents to be fed. The parents regurgitate what they have eaten during the day so as to share their food with their young. This period of infancy for the young vultures lasts several months, after which time they are able to fly and to search for food on their own. There are two kinds of vultures that inhabit the eastern half of the United States: the black vulture that is common in the southeastern states and the turkey vulture that is common here in the Midwest. There are significant differences between the black vul-

ture and the turkey vulture. Black vultures do not have a well-developed sense of smell so they depend on their ability to see something dead on the ground below them. This is also why they typically hunt in large groups in their search for food. Twelve sets of eyes are better than one, right? Turkey vultures, on the other hand, have a highly developed sense of smell and as a result, they are able to find food on their own. Both turkey and black vultures eat only dead animals and rarely kill a live animal. The turkey vulture, while soaring on air currents several hundred feet above the earth, is able to detect the presence of a dead animal from gases that within two days after death are emitting from the dead animal and rising into the atmosphere. Once the vulture locates the dead animal, they quickly fly down to gorge as much as they can before other vultures show up. Vultures have a specially designed beak that allows them to tear the flesh off of dead animals easily. Their stomachs are also specially “designed” to digest rotten flesh that most other animals could not tolerate on a long term basis. The head of a turkey vulture resembles the head of a male turkey. It, too, is an efficient body part for the vulture; the head has no feathers so this feature allows the head to grovel inside the body cavity of the animal it is eating. And if

that isn’t enough to gross you out, consider this: to defend against its natural enemies, the primary means of protection for the vulture is projectile vomiting. They can vomit a distance of 6 feet, and when you consider what is coming out of there — no thanks. And if they need to fly suddenly to avoid a predator while gorging, they completely evacuate their bowels before taking off—sort of a lightening of the load so to speak. Obviously, with defenses like that, they do not have many natural predators relishing a sneak attack. Turkey vultures migrate to the southern United States and Central America in the winter months. They are protected by the Migratory Bird Act of 1918. Despite some disgusting attributes, the turkey vulture performs an important service for our environment—cleaning up what could otherwise be a source of disease and illness for the rest of us. And as is true with so many creatures (including humans), at least their babies are cute. ––––––––––––––––––– 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.

Kim (Klunk) Klaas of Batchtown announced her candidacy for County Commissioner in the 2020 election. The current Brussels School Board Member, registered nurse, former Miss Calhoun County and mother of four is excited for the opportunity to earn the support of the citizens of Calhoun County. “The possibility of representing the people of my county is exciting, and I can’t wait to work to earn their support during this election,” Klaas said. Klaas is a native of Kampsville but currently lives with her husband, Dusty, in Batchtown with their children. She has a long family history of serving the people of Calhoun County. “My father worked for the county highway

department my entire life, and I have been a member of the Brussels School Board for several years now,” she said. “I learned from a young age that we each have a responsibility to work to make our community a better place.” Klaas also served as an organizer for the food bank in Brussels during last year’s flood. Klaas said she believes that job is what inspired her to run for County Commissioner. “After seeing the people of Calhoun County come together and work so hard to save our community I knew I wanted to serve those people on the county board.” Klaas is running as a Republican. The election will be held November 3, 2020.

I’m excited to be a part of Warrior Community BY ANDREA LEE Warrior Community, I have been anticipating this day for quite some time and am honored to be the new superintendent of Calhoun District #40! The 2020-2021 school year begins my 23rd year in education. Throughout the years, I have been fortunate enough to teach elementary through college and also serve as a principal for Grades 2-12. My experiences have varied, but I remain grounded in my philosophy to a committed service in providing the best education and support to the students we teach. This is accomplished by working as a team. You have my promise that I will be committed to the staff, students and families in Calhoun District #40. In my short time here, I have been able to meet a few students, staff, community members and families. Everyone has been friendly and are helping me settle into my new home. On a personal note, I am the mother of two children; Cam-

eron (19) and Gabby (18). Cameron will be a sophomore at Millikin University where he is majoring in Environmental Studies and wrestles for the Big Blue. Gabby, just graduated from Auburn High School and will be taking classes at Lincoln Land. For now, she believes that she wants to enter into the social work field. My husband, Brian, is a high school PE/health teacher and wrestling coach for Warrensburg-Latham. He, too, is entering his 23rd year as a teacher. I graduated from MacMurray College and taught for Petersburg and Chatham. After receiving my Administrative degree, I worked in Litchfield for 12 years as a principal. The last 2 years, I was the high school principal for Jacksonville. My free time is generally spent attending kids’ activities. When I do have time, I enjoy playing volleyball and softball, jeep rides, boating and challenging myself with Pinterest projects. This school year will dif-

fer from any that we have known before. The pandemic has taken its toll on many aspects of our lives. My belief is if we can remain flexible and maintain a positive mindset, we can successfully overcome the challenges. It will push us to think differently and live more outside of our comfort zone, but that does not mean we cannot do it! It is what I like to call the #WARRIORWAY. It is unfortunate that some of our first interactions aren’t as in person as I would have liked, but I do look forward to getting to know the people in the community. ––––––––––––––––––– Q Andrea Lee was recently made superintendent of Calhoun Unit 40, following Kate Sievers, who left for a position in the Jersey Community School District.

Carnes (Continued from A1) outside of the county. “It’s in the county,” Shirley said. “It (six cases) does seem like relatively few, but it is a spike for us,” In order to mitigate the spike and keep cases from rocketing upward, Shirley and the health department are reiterating the same advice from the beginning of the pandemic— social distancing, mask wearing and proper hygiene.

“We’re hearing from our positive cases that they’ve been having close contact — a lot of hugging friends and family members and things like that.” she said. “…We need to be wearing our masks, keeping up with hygiene — hand washing— and social distancing.” Erin Carnes, for one, agrees. “I feel like all you can do is listen to your medical professionals, follow their recommendations and continue living your life how works best for you,” she said.

Fraud (Continued from A1) identity theft. The increase in the fraudulent unemployment claims is believed to be coming primarily out of the Pandemic Unemployment Assistance (PUA) program. Under the ambiguous federal guidelines, which were developed in haste because of the urgency of the pandemic and issued to every state without a uniform method of implementation, the potential for fraud within this system is abundant. One of the largest vulner-

abilities within PUA is the absence of an employer on the other side of the claim to contest the claim in the event that it is fraudulent or should be protested. Under regular unemployment insurance guidelines, an employer has the ability to alert IDES if a claim has been filed in the name of an employee who is currently employed, and has the ability to protest a claim if they believe the employee does not fall into the category of having lost work through no fault of their own. This fraud scheme is in no

way connected to the PUA program access issue experienced in May. The limited data access issue of the PUA system found that one PUA claimant was able to inadvertently access personal identifying information of a limited number of claimants who had already filed an unemployment claim. Out of an abundance of caution, a year’s worth of free credit monitoring was provided to any claimant whose information may have been inadvertently viewed by this one individual claimant.

office. Also coming along with the Hardin crew is the evidence and equipment. Currently, staff is still in the process transferring over equipment. This includes radios, radar, restraints, weapons and evidence gear, such as bags and tags. The sheriff’s office will now have four full-time officers and two part-time officers including Heffington and Weishaupt. This does not include Illinois State Police, a conservation officer and a Federal Refuge officer, who also patrol the county. Heffington noted though, that the department is still working toward a full staff, as they are still hampered

by financial constraints and now COVID-19. “We want to hire a fifth person, but the academies are closed to us because of the COVID,” Weishaupt said. “We can't train them, so we can't use them. We have applications on file.” Those that join the department have been a strong, dedicated group. The major issue, though, is retention. “Our biggest struggle is keeping them here because of that wage and [lack of] insurance.” Heffington said. It was assured, though, no matter what, the whole county would be accounted for. “We are covering it all,” Heffington said.

Dissolved (Continued from A1) “We are going to handle it,” Weishaupt said. “It is what we do.” “We don’t care about the hours it takes, we are there.” Heffington said. “We answer the bell. It is a dedication to the community.” Now, Weishaupt will serve in his role as deputy chief for the sheriff’s office, solely. Coming along with the former Hardin chief is another officer from the Hardin department. There were three in the department including Weishaupt. Kyle Halsey decided to leave the force, and Joey Harris, who was also a former Woodriver officer, will serve in a parttime capacity at the sheriff’s

Challenges lie ahead for Peter Pan By CONNOR ASHLOCK Calhoun News-Herald After careful consideration by the officers and board members of the Calhoun Entertainment Company (CEC), it was decided last Thursday evening that the show must go on. “We had discussed the possibility of performing “Peter Pan� on the stage at the fairgrounds since it is an open venue,� Sievers said. “Doing this, we’ll be able to abide by state guidelines, so we decided to move forward with having it there.� September 11, 12 and 13 are the current dates of the musical, the same weekend that the Calhoun County Fair was scheduled for. “More than likely, the fair will be canceled, but the official vote won’t come until August 5,� Sievers said. “In the event that the fair is canceled, we will still have our musical that weekend.� Though the CEC is pressing forward with their intention to host the musical in September, there are some conditions. If the local region should move back into Phase 3 of the Restore Illinois plan, the musical will be automatically canceled, and the same is true if COVID-19 cases significantly rise in the county. “If we start getting more cases, then we will cancel. We don’t want to put anybody at risk,� Sievers said. As for hosting the musical at the fairgrounds, Sievers assures that social distancing will be able to occur. “There’s plenty of room in the grandstand,� Sievers said. “We always average around 250 people per show night, and we can handle way more than that, even with social distancing on the grandstand.� With the CEC having to put not only Peter Pan on hold, but also the “Little Mermaid,� hopes are high that the company will put on their production in September. The Little Mermaid was to be put on

25 Years Ago August 9, 1995 The Center for American Archeology (CAA) held its annual Archeology Day on Saturday, August 5, in Kampsville. The year 1993 was the only year that had to be skipped because of the flood in over 20 years. Brenda Nord, administrative assistant for the Education Program, said that 332 had registered. “It was not bad for the weather,� Nord said. The area had received an abundance of rainfall the previous day, and Nord felt that could have been the reason that attendance was lower than in 1994 when almost 500 attended. The CAA headquartered in Kampsville in 1953 since this is one of the world’s richest archeological areas. Archeological evidence has been found dating from 10,000 to 12,000 years ago. They have been able to follow the use of horticulture from the days of hunters and gatherers to the present. They can tell how the Early American’s health changed whenever their diet changed. Registration was held in St. Anselm’s Hall along with exhibits and posters showing what the archeologists are doing. There was also an artifact identification table where visitors could have some of their personal collection identified and an artifact illustration

by children who attended a week-long theatre camp, but it was canceled first because of the Flood of 2019 and then this year by COVID-19. “We’re not planning on doing the Little Mermaid at all. I have to contact the company that has the rights for the show to see if we can do it next year,� Sievers said. If the CEC can’t perform Peter Pan in September, then they will have to wait until next spring or until a vaccine becomes available before they can put on the show. Thankfully, there has not been a need to recast for Peter Pan, as the troupe of performers are committed to see the show through. Though, the CEC does have some difficulties to work through before they can put on the show this September. Part of the magic of Peter Pan is communicated through flying mid-air around the stage. Those members of the cast that will be flying have already received the training that they need to keep safe in the air, but they will have to train again. Training, though, is the least of the CEC’s worries. “I’ve contacted a company that works with trusses to put up the towers that would support the flying equipment and they’ve given me a quote. Now I’m in contact with the flying company to see if we could work out a deal,� Sievers said. “We’re waiting to hear back if they’ll charge us more than a certain amount. I’ve put out a post on Facebook asking for donations to help defer the extra costs of the flying.� Since the musical is being moved from the gym at the Center for American Archeology to the fairgrounds, all the equipment had to be taken down. Also, the company that the trusses were first rented from asked for them to be returned since the production had been halted. No matter what the outcome of the flying situation will be, the CEC will be

The administration of the college expects an enrollment of 400 students when the college opens for the first time this fall. Registration ends in six weeks. As of July 28, 205 students had applied and had been accepted by the college for admission. It had been projected earlier by Dr. Henry Ross of Southern Illinois University that 134 students would have been enrolled by that date. This would indicate a much greater interest in the college than had been anticipated.

starting rehearsals in August and will be selling tickets starting in the next couple weeks. “Usually, we put the tickets out at businesses. I’m not sure how we’re going to do that, but when we figure out how, we’ll update the community on our Facebook page,� Sievers said. Michelle Eberlin, who stars in the production as Peter Pan, shares that the group is getting along as best they can and that everyone is eager to get back into the game, but one thing that has been inspiring is Sievers’ resolve to keep pushing through against the odds. “Jerry is a fighter and a brilliant leader. I’m impressed with his follow through,� Eberlin said. Eberlin, who moved to Calhoun several years ago, has given her life to the theatre, having performed in various cities in the nation, but notes that the culture revolving around CEC is something that’s hard to find. “This place is unlike any other community theatre. People come in here from the community and do what they do for the sake of the theatre,� Eberlin said. Eberlin went on to note that no musical could be as timely to perform as Peter Pan, given the circumstances faced by the CEC and others on account of the pandemic. “The message behind Peter Pan is about not losing hope, because when you lose hope, you lose the child-like view of the world. It’s timely since we’re in the middle of a virus.� Eberlin also summed up why the cast and crew is still pressing through to see the show performed. “We do this because we love it — for the sake of art,� she said. Those interested in donating to the CEC or keeping track of the latest updates are encouraged to contact Sievers through the Calhoun Entertainment Company Facebook page or by calling him at 535-0401.

The last occupant was Charles Johnson, the famous jail buster, having escaped twice from the Calhoun county jail and once from the Jersey county jail. He is now occupying a private room in the penitentiary at Chester. The present occupant of the jail is Lester Antrobus and he is being held for the October grand jury charged with grand larceny. Antrobus came to Hardin about three months ago, with his wife and infant child, and leased from A.C.

the lease or the contents... Early last Saturday morning, Antrobus left Hardin in an auto truck, loaded with machinery and tools from the garage, which, it is alleged, were some of the tools he purchased of Mr. Mottaz and weren’t paid for... He crossed the river at Kampsville and was on his way north. About ten o’clock that morning, Carl Gordon, who looks out for the rental and interest of the Mottaz garage, and who, for some time, has been a little suspicious of Antrobus, called at the garage and found him missing. He soon learned that some of the machinery and tools were missing and he guessed the balance. At once, he and State’s Attorney Worthy got busy, and after finding out the route Antrobus took, notified the Sheriff of Greene county who quickly got on his trail and succeeded in capturing him up near Jacksonville. He was brought back to Carrollton and lodged in jail. The authorities at Hardin were notified and Deputy Sheriff Batty Corbett, accompanied by Mr. Gordon and others, went to Carrollton and returned about two o’clock Sunday morning with the prisoner...

“Find God in all things.� St. Ignatius

O

n February 11, 2020 the Jesuit priest and Vatican astronomer Father George Coyne left this earthly realm and went to his celestial home. It may surprise you to hear that the Vatican has astronomers, if all you know about the Vatican and its relation to astronomy is its attempt to censor Galileo concerning the earth revolving around the sun. Actually, the Vatican has its own observatory, a team of astronomers, and has generally been an ally of science, at least in the modern era. Father George Coyne defended Galileo and criticized the church when it finally apologized for censoring him by saying it was too little and too late. Father George saw the integral connection between science and spirituality, remarking that only humans wonder about what is up there in the sky and how we fit into it. Saint Ignatius, the founder of the Jesuits, instructed his followers to find God in all things. Galileo famously

remarked “I do not feel obliged to believe that the same God who has endowed us with sense, reason, and intellect has intended us to forgo their use.� Father George was fond of quoting that remark and also said that “In us, the universe has become selfaware.� He was a defender of science and the scientific method because they bring us closer to the truth. But Father George knew that science won’t answer all of our questions. We also need faith. Father George claimed that the opposite of faith isn’t doubt, but certainty. He knew that ignorance can be exciting; uncertainties about the age of the earth, the size of the universe, and myriad other questions cause us to wonder. And in that wonder is a sense of awe and sublimity. Finding God in everything was just one of Father George Coyne’s special gifts. – Christopher Simon

CORRESPONDENCE/NEWS

Midwest Conference suspends competition for remainder of 2020 Earlier Monday, the Midwest Conference (MWC) Presidents’ Council announced that it has voted to suspend all league competition for the fall and winter sports through Dec. 31. The presidents of the ten member institutions made the decision in coordination with representative athletic directors in order to protect the health and safety of studentathletes, coaches, staff and administration, their families, and broader campus and local communities. In light of that decision, Illinois College athletic competition has been suspended through the end of the calendar year. All new and returning students were informed of this change to the athletic season through an email sent by President Barbara A. Farley.

“Following guidelines from the NCAA Sports Medicine Institute, a team headed by IC’s athletic department leaders has devoted the summer to establishing a plan for our student-athletes to be able to compete this fall in a healthy, safe manner,” Farley said. “Unfortunately, the announcement made today by the Midwest Conference makes it clear that the competition we had hoped for will not be possible.” Athletic Director Mike Snyder said that the Midwest Conference will be exploring the possibility of moving the fall competitive season to spring for these sports: football, men’s and women’s soccer, volleyball, women’s and men’s cross country, and women’s tennis. Today’s decision will also delay the start of competitive seasons

for basketball, swimming and indoor track and field to January. No decision has been made regarding golf, which competes in the St. Louis Intercollegiate Athletic Conference and is not impacted by the MWC suspension. “We are deeply disappointed for studentathletes and coaches that it will not be possible to compete through the end of the calendar year,” Snyder said. “We are working on plans for them to engage in significant team experiences that could include for practice, small-group training, skill development, strength and conditioning and non-conference competition within the parameters of federal, state, institutional, conference and NCAA guidance.” Coaches will continue to provide support

to student-athletes and encourage them to prepare for competition when collegiate athletics at IC resumes. The MWC will continue to monitor those factors impacting the decision for suspension of the fall and winter sport seasons, and take action to resume athletic competition when it is deemed safe to do so. In early July, the NCAA announced that Division III student-athletes meeting specific requirements will not lose a season of eligibility if their team cannot complete at least 50 percent of scheduled competitions due to the pandemic. Bruner Fitness and Recreation Center will remain open with specific guidelines in place as noted in IC’s Hilltop READY plan for the fall.

WHAT'S GOING ON BETWEEN THE RIVERS Q Batchtown News By Linda Russell Q 396-2632

I’m sure a lot of people have heard: Marcy had a stroke two weeks ago. She is in the DePaul Rehab Center and making great progress at recovering. I will be writing the Batchtown News until she gets better. So, if you have any news, please call me at 1-618-3962632. Sorry to hear about Mark Baalman’s accident.

The Pavilion celebrated their third anniversary this week! To show their appreciation for their customers, they did drawings for gift certificates. Winners were Linda Orr, Tori Kuhlmann and Christina Johnson. Kampsville American Legion Auxiliary Post #1083 2020 drawing will take place at the Veterans Day Dinner at the Legion.

Tickets can be purchased from any Auxiliary member or at the Legion. The Kampsville boat access area has been a busy place on the weekends, we like seeing a summer when the Illinois River remains in its banks and we get to use it. Happy anniversary to Rod and Jeri Hart who celebrated 23 years together on Sunday, July 26. Joanne Dexheimer was the guest of honor on Saturday at Michael Tavern in honor of her birthday. Happy Birthday Joanne. Happy 65th birthday to Sandy Gardner on July 25. My grandson Shaefer celebrated his first birth-

Also a huge Happy 91st birthday to our fearless leader who has the biggest heart on July 27 Mayor Schumann! Sympathy to Otto and Linda Retzer and the entire Retzer family on the death of their son Jerry. Jerry had a wonderful sense of humor and was a great guy. Sunday evening, I attended a prayer service at the Calhoun High School football field with my friend and co-worker Sheri Elmore for Mark Baalman, or Mr. B as most kids know him. I was very much reminded why I love living in this county. Calhoun always comes together when someone is in need. The outpouring of love and support is amazing. I very much believe in the power of prayer, so please, keep Mark Baalman and family in your prayers.

visiting with him. St. Mary’s Quilting group in Brussels will resume quilting beginning Wednesday, Aug. 5 at the church hall. Because COVID-19, they have not been quilting the past five months. My apologies to my granddaughter, MacKenzie Axford. In last week’s column, I mentioned she had a recent high school graduation party. Then I had her sister’s name in error, instead of MacKenzie, that graduated from Westminster Christian High School in Town and Country, Mo. Another one of those “senior moments”! Sorry to hear of Marcy Klockenkemper of Batchtown suffering a stroke recently. She is now in SSM Health Rehab Hospital at 12380 DePaul Drive, Bridgeton, MO 63044 in case anyone would care to send her a card. Also Mark Baalman of Hardin, who suffered serious head injuries during a fall at his home last week. He is presently in Memorial Hospital in Springfield in an induced coma.

For those of you who have not yet completed your census survey, please do so as soon as possible. Doing this benefits Calhoun County in so many ways. It’s like writing a check to any public agency in Calhoun, for instance the Sheriff’s office, county health department,

fire department, ambulance service, road district, etc. For each Calhoun resident that is counted in the census the county receives approximately $800 per year for 10 years. This amounts to almost $8,000 per person, for instance a family of 5 would amount to $40,000. over the next 10 years. This is a very simple form to complete, takes less than five minutes. If you do need help the Calhoun County Health Department is available each week from 7 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Their phone number is 576-2428. PRAYER FOR THE DAY: Dear Lord, we thank you for this new day, we ask that you would guide our path today, our thoughts, words and actions. Please be with us throughout the week and help us navigate whatever comes our way. Most importantly, help us to reflect and live out our life in a way that is honoring to you. In Jesus’s name, Amen.

Brussels weighing options on bus driver shortage By JARAD JARMON Calhoun News Herald The upcoming school year will certainly present its challenges, keeping in mind the guidelines around COVID19, but none appear as troublesome as that of the bus situation for Brussels School District. Brussels School Board members were given a recap what the district leaders would be doing for the upcoming school year, and it was noted that bus transportation will be particularly tricky. Currently, the district only has one full-time bus driver for one route, following the death of Gene Wieneke earlier this year, and the decision by another to work in substitute capacity. And like other districts across the state, Brussels has been unsuccessful in filling those positions so far. “It is a real stumbling block for us with only one driver,� Martin said. “We are still trying to figure out how to do that. In fact, we know that one driver cannot do it in a reasonable amount of time, so we are trying to figure out what to do beyond that.� Under normal circumstances, this would have still been an issue for the district, but because of COVID-19, the issue has been compounded. Guidelines coming down from the state require bus drivers to screen students before they get on the bus, and not allow anyone with a temperature or fever to board the bus. “Without doing that task, without taking that into the calculation — just the driving part — morning and afternoon bus routes would last 2 to 2-and-a-half hours, and we can’t have kids, especially little kids, on the bus that long,� Martin said. “So, that is unacceptable.� School leaders are looking into having central pickup points for the students, instead of stopping at individual homes, in the hopes that that might save enough time. Also, school leaders are encouraging parents and guardians, when possible, to drive their kid to school or set up carpools. As it stands currently, the school district still plans on having in-person instruction as long as possible. Word from the state suggests schools will likely have to go back to remote learning at some point during the school year, but Martin said school leaders want to get in as much in-person instruction as safely and as quickly possible.

“Our small size works in favor of us and our county only having a couple or three cases so far indicates to me that with extra cleaning and being careful, we should be able to run in-person schooling,â€? Martin said. â€œâ€ŚWe can do so much more [inperson].â€? Martin indicated safety was an important factor for school leaders in all of this, though, and it is one parents are particularly concerned about. “Through our surveys we are getting this feedback, some parents are just afraid to send their child to school — that it is dangerous, that we won’t be able to keep things safe enough for their child,â€? Martin said. On that note, Martin had this to say: “We, at all schools, are going to do our very best, but we can’t 100 percent guarantee that no one will get sick. To say something else would be a lie.â€? The district recently sent out planning surveys to the emails they have on file for those within the district. The deadline for the survey is July 29. Parents are asked to complete the survey to help the district move forward with their planning for school next year. For those who did not receive the survey via email, they are asked to reach out to Principal Pam Long at plong@brussels42. net. Also during the meeting: Q A discussion took place about changing the report card system for the fourthgrade to be more in-line with standards-based report cards, seen in third grade and lower, to ensure classrooms that include two grade levels, like that of the third and fourth grade classroom, do not have two different grading systems. Q The high school roof is pretty much completed, and withstood the most recent storms well. Q The gym floor will be striped and repainted next year. Gym doors will be installed soon. The reasoning for new doors are for school security Q School lunch prices were raised 10 cents, making the new total $3 this year. Q The school board approved the revised school handbook. Updates for this year include assigned seating on the bus, addressing wearing face coverings, temperature checks and social distancing and limiting school visitors. Q Melissa and Grace Stephens were named assistant volleyball coaches.

Calhoun Unit 40 puts $10K toward bleachers

By JARAD JARMON Calhoun News-Herald The Calhoun School District has earmarked money for new football bleachers, an action which has been under consideration for years. In their meeting last week, the Calhoun School Board OK’d the allotment of $10,000 in Tort money toward the construction of new bleachers at the football field. It will still be sometime before students and their parents might enjoy watching a game on new bleachers, not only because of COVID-19, either. “We have not set a time for construction and are only in the discussion phases of what the project will consist of,� Calhoun Superintendent Andrea Lee said. The bleachers need to be replaced with new ones that follow Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requirements, ensuring they are accessible to anyone who would like to sit on them. The money put forward by the school district will only be a portion of the money needed to fund the project. “Additional funds will need to be raised before the project will move forward,� Lee said.

The football boosters will be responsible for presenting the plan for approval and total project cost. So far, the community has been working to fundraise for the project. Most recently, a can drive and an egg hunt have been used as fundraisers for the project. Those fundraisers have all been to benefit the Football Bleacher fund, as previously reported. New bleachers were on the docket for the school district for a long time, though. “There has been discussion for quite some time about what to do with the aging bleachers,� Lee said. Also, the board: Q Hired Kate Sievers, the former superintendent, as a superintendent mentor for 2020-2021. Q Accepted the retirement of Jody Heidenreich, transportation supervisor, effective 2022. Q Accepted the resignation of Dan Long, science teacher, and hired Heather Reed as science teacher. Q Approved a leave of absence for Bethany Owens from Aug. 17 to Nov. 20 for student teaching. Q OK’d a building rental for the district’s possible birth to age 3 program. (See, BLEACHERS, A8)

Hardin, Illinois

Bleachers (Continued from A6) The district already had this program but ran into space constraints, warranting a new off-site building. The rent will be paid through the Prevention Initiative grant. Prevention Initiative (PI) programs provide intensive, research-based and comprehensive child development and family support

services for expectant parents and children, birth to age 3. Q OK’d an intergovernmental agreement to establish the Calhoun Elementary School/Jr. High as a polling place. Also at the meeting, announcements and updates for the goings-on in the district were given: Q The door replace-

ment project continues in the high school. District leaders have looked at the possibility of going ahead and replacing a few other doors and/or locks while the company is here. The additions to the project would not be covered under Health Life Safety funds but could be taken from the one percent sales tax funds. It would be an

additional $29,000. Q Flooring at CHS was scheduled to start July 21. The tile selected did exceed the insurance bid price, but this was because of switching from a floor that requires waxing to a non-wax floor. There was also a slight increase because of the quality and warranty work associated with the new floor.

L&C recognizes spring students with honors awards Each spring, Lewis and Clark Community College (L&C) celebrates students, nominated by their instructors, who go above and beyond in demonstrating dedication, intelligence and resilience with an Honors Ceremony. Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Honors Ceremony was not held this spring, but the college would still like to recognize those outstanding students who

earned an Honors Award. Many included among the list were local. Here is a list of all the recipients: Q Batchtown – Matthew Wieneke with the Evelyn Trennt Award Q Brussels – Katherine Simon with the Honors College Scholar
