Calhoun News-Herald The Poor Farm Hollow Road project was a topic of conversation at the Calhoun Commissioners meeting last Thursday evening, a discussion that has been ongoing for some time.

Specifically, the commissioners discussed funding for the project.

Through the revolving loan program, Calhoun County was previously granted $180,868, the maximum amount of money the county could request from the Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity (DCEO).

If those funds go unused, they must be returned to the DCEO at the end of the year.

It was decided several weeks ago that Poor Farm Hollow qualified as an appropriate area in which to invest the funds.

In addition to the $180,868 from the revolving loan fund, $59,131 from the road and bridge fund will also go toward the project, which entails improving and widening the shoulders of the road as well as improving drainage.

Given the fact that a portion of Poor Farm Hollow lies within the confines of the Village of Hardin (from Route 100 to about the area of Bell’s Gym), the village is also aiding in funding the project.

Grant tweaks plans of bringing fiber optics to Calhoun %\ JARAD JARMON Calhoun News-Herald

I

t was announced that grant money has been awarded to bring high speed broadband internet to the Calhoun County, possibly shifting the focuses of the current plan to bring fiber optics to the county.

While the overall mission and plan for the area to bring fiber to Calhoun will be unchanged, the recently awarded Connect Illinois grant may focus efforts on where construction will take place first, according to Randy Long, general manager at the Illinois Electric Cooperative (IEC), the organization heading up the endeavor to bring fiber optics to the county. “(The Connect Illinois grant) will accelerate fiber in these towns,� he said.

Connect Illinois is a $400 million infrastructure project dedicated to providing high speed internet to students, farmers and rural businesses. Grants are distributed by the Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity.

For the first round of funding,

Connect Illinois awarded $50 million of the $420 million available statewide for broadband expansion under Gov. JB 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 from all across the state.

According to a IEC news release, $3,443,670 has been awarded to Illinois Electric Cooperative for the Calhoun project, intended to help fund fiber internet in Hardin, Kampsville, Brussels, Winneberg and Batchtown. “Connect Illinois was advantageous to us doing fiber in the towns,�

Long said. “We were successful there and will be able to about 746 unserved homes and households and about 95 businesses throughout the county.�

The grant stipulates that the work must be done within three years, and as a result, construction timelines might shift to accommodate the grant requirements. “The towns will be built in the first three years, where without the grant, we would have done it just as the signup rate was sufficient, and towns may have not gotten done this soon,�

Long said.

It would have been done as areas in the county met preregistration thresholds for the fiber. “It pushes the towns forward into the first three years, rather than probably in year four and five, which it may have been previously,� he said.

It was stressed the goal of the overall project, an estimated 5-yearlong project, is unchanged, though. “We would like to bring fiber to every home in Calhoun County,�

Long said.

It will still be some time before work is finished on the project. “We’ll probably be able to start some of the areas this fall; but really, it is probably going to be next spring before there is a lot of progress made, and the proceeding two-and-a-half years after that will be when we will going full bore in all of those towns to make sure that we are complete in 3 years.�

Currently, work is being done to install fiber optics in the Brussels School District to improve the internet reliability among district buildings. These fiber optics were installed in the Calhoun School District last year. It is set to be fully installed in the Brussels district by the end of summer, ahead of when students come back.

Long touched on the divide made

by internet access or lack thereof in the county, pointing to the necessity of the role internet played in the remote learning, tele-health and telecommuting during the COVID-19 pandemic. He reiterated what many have been saying for years in the county: internet speeds and reliability are in need of improvement, and with grants like the Connect Illinois grant and the continued efforts by the Illinois Electric Cooperative, that will become a reality. “Our general mission is to improve the quality of life in our users’ homes.

We did that in the 1930s, too,�

Shawn Rennecker, IEC Economic Development Director, said. “There’s a parallel between rural electrification early in the twentieth century and the expansion of broadband now.�

Assistant Republican Leader C.D. Davidsmeyer , R-Jacksonville, added the project is a big step for the district. “It’s a good first step to allow the same level of internet service experienced in the bigger cities of Illinois,� he said.

Along with Calhoun, $1,483,007 will be going to Jersey as a part of the Connect Illinois grant, and $4,295,852 will be going to Macoupin and Madison.

Questions to COVID-19 virus origin continue Commissioners r e n n u R e Ridg

By BILL HOAGLAND The most accepted theory among virologists regarding the origin of the COVID-19 virus is that it originated in a bat, that it then infected an intermediate animal, and that it eventually jumped from that animal to humans.

Virologists in China initially claimed that this jump from an animal to humans occurred because of stressful conditions at a wet market in Wuhan, China. In late May, however, the Chinese government stated for the first time that the virus had no causal connection to the Wuhan wet market.

That announcement again raises the question of where and why did the virus jump from bats to humans.

Some think this virus was created as a biological weapon at the Wuhan Institute of Virology, and that it accidentally got out of the lab and into the general populace.

Certainly, it is undisputed that the Wuhan Institute of Virology has been studying bat coronaviruses for years.

And, it is also undisputed that this laboratory had been cited in the past for negligent handling of potentially dangerous viruses. But, the fact is that most virologists worldwide who have been studying this virus are convinced that this virus jumped from a bat to humans through natural evolution and that it could not possibly have been

created in a laboratory. These virologist point to specific genetic characteristics of this virus to prove their point. US intelligence sources apparently concur with this position.

But what about the possibility that this virus, while being studied by virologists at the Wuhan Institute of Virology, was somehow modified to the point that it gained new capabilities and then was accidentally released into the general populace of Wuhan?

This theory was recently discussed by Bret Weinstein, a renowned evolutionary biologist, on a Joe Rogan podcast on June 18. According to Weinstein, there is a “strong possibility” that this virus was manipulated at the Wuhan Institute of Virology (or at another laboratory in Wuhan) and that this manipulation caused it to evolve into what it is today. Weinstein described this manipulation as a “splicing” or “insertion” of a new gene into the genome makeup of this virus. He said this splicing is “conspicuous.” It is not clear whether Weinstein thinks this splicing was intentional or accidental.

According to Weinstein, there are three behavioral characteristics of the COVID 19 virus that led him to this conclusion. First, from the time that it first was diagnosed in humans, this virus

C H R O N IC L E S

has always been easily transmittable from human to human. Normally, when a virus initially jumps from an animal host to a human host, it is not very contagious; that’s because it has not yet “learned” how to spread from human to human but that was not the case with this virus. From the get-go, it was extremely contagious.

Second, once a human becomes infected with this virus, the infection often spreads to multiple parts of the infected person’s body, not just the lungs. This, according to Weinstein, is also not typical. Normally, a virus would affect only one part of the body, not multiple organs. Third, this virus appears to spread best when it is in a confined or enclosed area, as opposed to spreading with equal speed outside in daylight hours; this feature strongly suggests it was created inside — in a laboratory — because the virus has not “learned” how to function and spread in daylight.

We still have a lot to learn about this virus and frankly, it is too soon to draw

any final conclusions about its origin. And to complicate things further, there is some evidence that the virus is mutating and continuing to change, so much so that we may never know the origins of this virus. But we need to keep an open mind, and consider all possibilities if we are to understand and conquer this disease, including the notion that it may have been manipulated in a laboratory before it spread to humans.

Note: The Weinstein discussion regarding this subject can be found on YouTube at Joe Rogan Podcast #1494, starting at 1:53:00 in the interview.

Outdoor Truths: Gary Miller

Finding that right deer can be obsession Are you obsessed over something? Has something gained your attention in such a way that you have made some drastic changes in order to accommodate that matter?

Deer hunters do this all the time. I was just reliving the past season with a friend.

He was telling me about a place where he hunted that was for bow hunters only.

One evening, just before dark, he saw what he called the buck of a lifetime, and it was only 60 yards from his stand. And even though he could not get a shot at it, it caused him to almost ignore all the other bucks that came his way; and there were plenty.

By the time his few days of hunting were over, he had

passed up some really big bucks because none of them were the one he had seen just a few days earlier. In the end, the cost was coming home empty-handed, all because he had become obsessed with one prize so valuable that every other prize paled in comparison.

He is not alone in this obsession. I know of other hunters who have marked one particular buck as their goal and have waited for 2 or 3 years in order to get it.

And I know of some who waited just as long only to find out their prize was now their neighbor’s trophy.

Some may not understand this obsession. Some do.

Everyone ought to.

In recalling these stories, I am reminded of the Biblical

story of the man who found a valuable pearl. The author says when he discovered it, he sold everything he owned and bought it.

No diversification; no hedging his investment; no waiting until more favorable times, but selling it all – pushing it all in for this one pearl of great price.

What was the Lord comparing this most valuable pearl to? The kingdom of heaven. What is the kingdom of Heaven? Let’s just say it is the totality of God in our lives now and the greatness of Heaven in the future.

What the Lord desires is this; that there would come a time in our lives when we finally understand the most valuable thing in our life is simply Him.

A n d in fully understanding this, we would willfully, g l a d l y, a n d excitingly be willing to give it all up in order to experience, without distraction, the worth and surpassing greatness of that relationship.

Vincentians still doing good work in Calhoun during pandemic

By CONNOR ASHLOCK Calhoun News-Herald The Blessed Trinity and St. Francis of Assisi St. Vincent de Paul Conference started up in Calhoun County just last year, but by no means are the Vincentians “green” as far as experience goes.

Jim Twichell, president of the local conference, shared that although the group was very busy last fall, COVID-19 has kept the group busy with food distribution only, instead of all its usual acts of benevolence.

“Believe it or not, other than food, we haven’t been busy. Now, with food we’ve been very busy. That really picked up for us in March,” Twichell said.

Scarcity in grocery stores, coupled with loss of income and rising grocery store prices, has led to a food crisis across the state and country. The Northern Illinois Food Bank, as an example, shared two weeks ago that the number of meals they prepare in a day went from an average of 190,000 to 243,000.

Although the group is keeping busy with distributing food around the county, they’ve temporarily slowed down from helping with utility payments.

The food shortage gives the society something to focus on while utility bills are put on the back burner because of a moratorium in effect throughout the state that suspends utility payments and requires that anyone who has been previously disconnected from utilities be reconnected for the time being.

“We aren’t getting as many calls about helping people with their utility bills because they’ve been granted by the gov-

ernment some time before they have to pay,” Twichell explained. “I think once people have to start paying their bills again, we’re going to get a lot more calls on things we aren’t so busy with now.

These people will have very large bills. I don’t know how it will all work out.”

Though the group has enough money to help quite a few people, Twichell speculates that they won’t be able to pay for everyone’s bills entirely, but maybe a portion.

“Our mission is two-fold,” Twichell said. “We help those in need with problems they may have consisting of rent and utilities and we also try to help them spiritually.”

While the spiritual help is equally important, the food shortage, according to Twichell is more pressing. That’s why Twichell is focusing on the group’s primary concern: food.

The local Vincentians work very closely with Angel Ministries, Illinois Valley Economic Development Cooperation, the St. Louis Food Bank as well as the Alton Catholic Charities organization, who delivers to the county once a month.

“On weeks when Alton Catholic Charities isn’t coming, a few of us from St. Vincent have our own food distribution and what we look at is through the Alton Catholic Charities database. I look at people who haven’t had food for a while because not everyone gets food every month and we fill in the gaps for those who haven’t had food for a period of time,” Twichell shared.

Being able to support the material needs of individuals in Calhoun County has been largely unimpeded, but as far

Timothy F. Campbell President “Were it left to me to decide whether we should have a government without newspapers, or newspapers without a government, I should not hesitate a moment to prefer the latter.”

-- Thomas Jefferson, 1787

as spiritual needs go, Twichell shares that COVID-19 has greatly affected St. Vincent de Paul’s efforts.

“Before we help anybody, we do a home visit to see what needs they really have in order to figure out a plan to help them. We’re not able to do that except by telephone calls right now because of COVID,” Twichell said.

Despite this, Twichell and his fellow Vincentians are still able to provide spiritual support as the opportunity arises.

“Some of our food deliveries are to people’s houses. We say a prayer with them thanking God for the food they’ve received and invite them to our churches,” Twichell said.

Twichell further shared that volunteers do not need to be Roman Catholic to participate.

“We are for the most part Catholic, but you don’t have to be a Catholic to be a member of our society. I’d even say most of the people we help aren’t Catholic,” Twichell shared.

If anyone is interested in joining the St. Vincent de Paul Society, they’re encouraged to contact Jim Twichell at 618-3345193. For more information regarding the society’s efforts in Calhoun, interested persons are encouraged to look them up on Facebook at St. Vincent De Paul Calhoun County.

“The short-term outlook this year is we’re definitely looking to expand in members and donations of any sort. We need money and manpower, especially as the crunch hits at the end of the year,” Twichell said. “I need some strong, young people to help with food deliveries and other tasks.”

Near the end of the meeting, discussion of the census was also made. It was shared that Calhoun County only has, as of July 2, a response rate of 34 percent.

The Calhoun County Farm Bureau is offering assistance with census completion, as they have a computer available that connects to online census resources. Anyone needing assistance with completing the census online may contact Jane Brangenberg at the Farm Bureau.

The Health Department also announced an initiative last week to help residents fill out the census. The department has dedicated two staffers to help complete surveys for residents. Residents who have yet to respond to the census can call the health department office at 618-576-2428 where they can get help over the phone or arrange a meeting to be sure Calhoun residents and their families are counted.

Completing the census is crucial to securing funding for many agencies in Calhoun County.

(Continued from A1) Approximately $260,000 from the village will be coupled with the county’s $240,000 to see the project through.

Following discussion, the commissioners resolved to finance their portion of the project cost.

At the meeting, the board discussed another program that is also through the Illinois DCEO: the Local Coronavirus Urgent Remediation Emergency support program, otherwise known as the Local CURE support program.

Through this program, Calhoun County and the Calhoun County Health Department qualify for reimbursement of expenses related to the COVID-19 pandemic.

To be eligible for reimbursement, both entities would have to show proof of expenses incurred as a result of their pandemic response.

Calhoun County is eligible to receive $136,589 and the health department is eligible for $75, 245.

Birthdays (Continued from A1) member, at any age. The family made sure to come together and celebrate each other’s birthday. It was a tradition of sorts-one Simon has been a part of his entire life.

But this year when his birthday, April 13, arrived, current events — namely the COVID-19 pandemic — made large celebrations an impossibility, at least in the traditional sense.

“It was disappointing,” Simon said.

Now, months later, Simon is hoping to rectify all the missed birthday celebrations during quarantine with a “Birthday Redo Hootenanny” at 7 p.m. Saturday at Longnecker’s Tavern free and open to the community.

It was initially planned as a celebration of Simon’s birthday at Longnecker’s, where he works part-time, but that idea has since expanded to a community-wide celebration of all of those with birthdays during quarantine.

“A lot of people have missed out on their birthday over the last few months,” Simon said. “…You see how the coronavirus has affected their lives. I kind of wanted to celebrate with them and give

them a chance to celebrate, too.”

Once the state transitioned into Phase 4, Simon was eager and ready to commence the celebrations.

“This (July 11) was the first opportunity, the first weekend, to actually have it and abide by the governor’s executive orders,” Simon said.

Some of the details have not been squared away, but Simon said they plan to sing “Happy Birthday” to those in attendance with a birthdate during quarantine (March, April, May and June). There will be food for the event, and there will be music, as well.

Simon said they are also planning outdoor accommodations for those less comfortable with going inside.

He noted the celebration dually serves as a means of lifting everyone’s spirits during quarantine.

“It is going to be a fun time for people to show up and celebrate — celebrate maybe a hiatus of some the quarantining that we have been subjected to over the last few months, and also celebrate the fact the hopefully we’ll make it through it at the end.”

Unclear whether Hardin gravestones toppled with malice

By JARAD JARMON Calhoun News-Herald It has not been determined if the toppled gravestones in the Hardin Cemetery reported a little more than a week ago were pushed over with malice or if they collapsed under more natural means, according to local police.

It was reported to police June 28 that three stones had toppled. It was later determined that the stones had fallen between June 26-28, Hardin Police Chief Greg

I hope everyone had a relaxing and safe Fourth of July weekend. The weather here was in the low 90’s, so a great time to celebrate outdoors and watch the fireworks on Saturday night.

Carol Stepanek enjoyed having her two sons, Bobby Stepanek of Jerseyville and Joey Stepanek of Dow, at her house on Thursday and Friday. They accomplished a lot of outdoor work for her and she served them their favorite meals both days. I’m sure they will be back to help her again!

My Thursday late afternoon and evening outdoor workers were John and Caleb Carnes of Edwardsville. Once again they have my place all mowed and trim work done, as well as other honey-do jobs accomplished. Enjoyed having them for dinner and also preparing their favorite meal. Many thanks to both of them!

George and Yvonne Baecht enjoyed dinner on Saturday evening with Keith and Becky Baecht, Matthew and Samuel in Jerseyville. Later that evening, they all enjoyed the fireworks in town.

Dave and Kara Hagen, Emma, Ryan and Alessa entertained on Saturday evening at their home in Meppen. Not only did they celebrate the Fourth of July but also Emma’s 16th birthday and Ryan’s confirmation. Present were Roy and Barb Hagen of Brussels, Kenny and Judy Devening of St. Peters, Elaine and Lee Mans of Golden Eagle, and Derrick and Jan Bick of O’Fallon, Mo. and all their families. Everyone enjoyed the delicious food and evening together.

Many more “happy ones” Emma and God’s Blessings to you Ryan.

I drove to O’Fallon, Mo. on Saturday and accom-

panied Dennis and Shelly Scherer to the home of Trevor and Cyndi Axford and family to spend the day. Enjoyed lots of pool time and a delicious meal that evening, along with lots of great visiting since it had been several months since we had been together due to the coronavirus.

Later that night, we visited with Ashley Kirn, Noah and Addy in Wentzville. Ashley had just got home from her 12-hour shift at St. Joseph’s Health Center. Watched neighborhood fireworks at her home and afterwards Noah and Addy went with us to Wright City to the newly built home of Dennis and Shelly. My first time seeing their beautiful new home since it was completed. After online church on Sunday morning the grandkids gave me a tour of every room, as well as downstairs and the outside patio area.

Later that day, they took me back to my car parked at Dennis’ mom’s where they enjoyed dinner with Pat Scherer and several other family members.

Many thanks to everyone for a wonderful weekend.

Alex and Justine Schulte and family of Golden Eagle enjoyed helping her sister, Rachel Johnes of Arnold, Mo., celebrate her birthday on Sunday. They all enjoyed dinner at Olive Garden Restaurant in Fenton, Mo., along with a great visit. Many more “happy ones” Rachel.

A Card Shower has been planned for Marie Held for her upcoming 100th Birthday on July 20. I’m sure this event will certainly make her day!

Birthday Blessings this week to Barb Ward, Gerry Schleeper, Clayton Murphy, Shirley Kinder, Temmy Kiel, Shirley Ewen, Roy Hagen, Kent Schulze, Brian

Hartman, Clark Schulze, Abby Johnes, Joey Kiel, Jodi Plummer, Paul Goetze, Max Toppmeyer, Shirley Pepper, Doris Mossman and all others celebrating their natal day at this time.

Happy anniversary to Daniel and Hope Kemper, Bruce and Connie Sievers, Jason and Mary Hoemmen, Mike and Lynne Adams, Tony and Traci Caselton and all other couples celebrating a wedding anniversary this week.

I noticed in last week’s Calhoun News Herald that the Calhoun Co. Health Department is now helping with the census effort. Calhoun is still showing a low census response rate among its population.

Sandy Teichman, Department Administrator reports “it is so important to complete this form”. Her office now has two staffers to help residents complete surveys. You can either call 618-576-2428 to have them assist you over the phone or arrange a meeting to be sure Calhoun residents and their families are counted.

This census data helps provide money in federal funding to fire departments, schools, roads, hospitals and other resources based on the census data.

As you can see this is a very important survey, a very simple form to fill out and means a lot to our county. Please, fill out and return as soon as possible. Thank you so much!

–––––––––––––––––––– THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: Instead of running down the toilet paper aisle, the first aisle we need to run down is the church aisle.

Fall down on your knees and ask the Lord to heal our land. Pray this virus ends soon.

God is our only hope for this. Amen

I hope everyone had a great holiday weekend.

Mark and Debbie Becker and Wade Gibson and James Palmer at the Pavilion did a wonderful fireworks display for all of Kampsville to enjoy as well as visitors. The fireworks were awesome and they also had a DJ for everyone’s entertainment.

I think there wasn’t a kid in town who wasn’t excited that they also had snow cones available all day.

On Sunday “The Great River Roads Dune Buggy

Club” enjoyed the day in Kampsville and lunch at the Pavilion.

The Landing hosted a funeral dinner for the family and friends of Diane (Mathews) Cannon on Thursday.

Happy 60 birthday to Mark Brangenberg on July 2, happy birthday to Mark Becker on July 3 and happy 85 birthday to Mary Ann Bailey on July 5.

Sophie Gibson has been a very busy girl this past summer. She is a wonderful artist

and has painted many beautiful paintings for friends and family members in Kampsville. Such a talented young lady.

Sympathy to the Denny, Mark, Connie and Cindy on the loss of their mom Laura Brangenberg last Friday.

Please keep them all in your prayers.

Continue prayers for Kurt Roth, Jim Hill, Joe Gress, Darren Kress, Cindy Smith, Eileen Gardner, Cathy Taul, Bill Schumann and Linda Herkert.

Weishaupt said. However, the reason for the fall it still unclear.

Weishaupt said there several possibilities and factors that could have led to the stones falling, noting that many of the stones were old. Local police are still investigating the issue and are still seeking out more information regarding the incident.

Those with information are urged to call the Calhoun County Sheriff’s Office at 618-576-2417 or Crimestoppers at 1-800300-2590.

Methodist church gets a makeover

By CONNOR ASHLOCK Calhoun News-Herald The Batchtown United Methodist Church interior has received quite the makeover recently, a project which was a while in the making, according to Mark Heffington, chairman of the church’s administrative board.

“It started in the spring of 2019 when we decided we needed new windows,” Heffington said. “The windows were probably 50 or 60 years old. Water was getting in around them, and the woodwork was rotting from the damage, so we had to fix it.”

It took awhile for the right windows to be selected, along with discussing other details along the way.

When this past January rolled around, the church took a bid from Brussels Lumber and Hardware and were on their way to getting the windows installed, until COVID-19 put a halt to their plans.

The church had not a clue as to when the windows would be installed, but Heffington and his family found more work that could be done in the meantime.

“It was around then that we decided to start painting. The church woodwork had been painted a cardboardlooking brown years ago, and we thought that with those new whiteframed windows it wouldn’t look good,” Heffington explained. “The woodwork had to be painted white, but then we got to thinking that if the top was painted white, the bottom half of the wall had to be painted too, so we painted that section grey.”

Heffington, along with his wife and son, invested approximately 30 hours painting throughout the Easter Weekend, starting on Thursday and working through Saturday.

In the end, the whole sanctuary looked good as new. They even painted the doors leading from the foyer

25 Years Ago July 12, 1995 This historic jail building in Brussels recently received a face-lift. Darlene Ivarson and Starr McDaniels, volunteers from the Americorps Rural Development Team, provided the labor to refurbish the old building. A fresh coat of paint was applied to the exterior and the interior has a display of early prison life.

The jail will be open on weekends from noon to 5 p.m. for visitors to stop by.

The jail is located on Main Street by the Brussels Tavern, Wood Duck and Grandma’s Attic antique shop.

Mayor Sarah A. Kinder is pleased with the upkeep of all the historic homes and buildings in Brussels. “A drive through quaint Brussels takes one back to the late 1800s and is a pleasant experience,” commented Mayor Kinder.

50 Years Ago July 9, 1970 Four business places in Hardin were broken into over the July 4th holiday weekend, but apparently little was taken at each place.

The thieves entered Beaty’s Variety Store, Roth’s Department Store, Corbett’s Ford Garage, and Linthi-

into the sanctuary, finishing not a moment too soon.

“It just so happened that we got done with the painting three or four days before the windows came in,” Heffington said.

Following the window installation, the church decided to go a step further with their renovations.

“We got some film from Home Depot that mimics stained glass and those will be going on the windows throughout the sanctuary,” Heffington said.

Further work will be done in and around the church as congregants check off their current tasks from their to-do list. Currently, they’re still adjusting some of the window film as well as getting some additional designs for windows on the south side of the church. They’re also discussing

cum’s Western Auto Store.

At each place entrance to the buildings was made by breaking a window.

Neither business place lost much except some change out of the cash registers, and the robbers did not seem interested in merchandise.

Mrs. Carl Beaty of Beaty’s Store told police that there might be one watch band missing, and Mrs. Ed. Roth was not able to find any merchandise missing at her store.

Entrance at Roth’s Store was by a small window over 10 feet from the ground on the west side of the store.

Police thought that a small person probably stood on a car to climb in the small cubicle, which was not much more than a foot square.

It seemed almost impossible for anyone except a small boy to have squeezed through the space At Beaty’s they broke the window on the north side of the building which gave them entrance into the office, and at Corbett Ford a window in the back end of the building was broken for entering.

75 Years Ago July 12, 1945 A large double gasoline tank trailer was wrecked

how to deal with some water coming through the foundation in the basement.

“We’re basically just trying to improve the church to make it more usable and better-looking overall, Heffington said. “It’s been a group effort of multiple people in the church who have worked for several years to get all of this done. There’s been all kinds of updates and renovations over the past 5 years.”

The Batchtown United Methodist Church building is nearly 130 years old, and there’s no doubt that it’s in safe hands with the current congregation who have been working hard to keep it as beautiful today as it was when it first opened in 1891.

“If anyone is wanting to see what the church looks like, come on by,” Heffington said.

about six miles north of Hardin on route 100 early Saturday morning, and nearly 800 gallons of gasoline were lost The tank trailer belonged to the Rogers Cartage Company and was driven by William Summer of Collinsville.

He was driving the tank trailer from the refineries in Wood River to Quincy, when for some unknown reason he lost control of the truck and plunged off the road into a field.

The tanks overturned and the gasoline began spilling out. Another trailer of the company was sent here to try to salvage some of the gasoline, but a great deal of the load was lost.

Several passing motorists and nearby farmers came and caught gasoline that was spilling out on the ground.

One person salvaged two barrels full for himself, it was said.

The driver of the trailer was uninjured, but the cab of the truck was badly telescoped on the driver’s side.

Attorney Worthy was discharging fireworks at his home in Hardin for the amusement of his daughter Dorothy, when he accidentally lighted a sky-rocket that he held in his hand and which was discharged, a large portion of which struck the hand and wrist, tearing all the skin away from two of his fingers, causing a bad burn with much pain. Dr. Peisker was immediately called who dressed the burn. On account of no anti-toxin serum being in town, and fear being felt that tetanus might develop, Attorney Worthy left early Sunday morning, by auto, accompanied by his wife and Frank Ruckman as driver, for Alton, where he received treatment of antitoxin serum. He has returned home and although, he has a very sore hand yet there is no fear felt now as to bad results, by his many friends.

Who Is Essential?

T

he Covid-19 pandemic has brought with it a host of new expressions, from “social distancing” to “essential workers.” These shine a light on some important aspects of our society and how we think of ourselves. Perhaps we should consider more deeply who is essential? Of course, we all know that the healthcare workers who are caring for the sick and dying are essential, as are the people who deliver essential services, the police, the firefighters, and the EMTs. We also think of the people who work in the grocery stores as essential, and of course the people who deliver the food, as well as the restaurant workers and the people who grow the food. But what about the people

who help all of these people get to work, the taxi, Uber and Lyft drivers, and the bus drivers? They too are essential. And more broadly, aren’t the next generation of workers essential? Aren’t the children who are now in school (albeit at home) also essential?

And even the elderly, and the retired, aren’t they also essential?

In reality, everyone is essential if we are to have a society that values life the way we should.
