Kieffer pleads guilty to insurance fraud, charged in shooting By BOB CROSSEN Calhoun News-Herald The same day former Calhoun County Supervisor of Assessments Sherrie Brandi Kieffer pleaded guilty to insurance fraud and filing a false police report, she was charged with shooting a man. According to court documents, Kieffer reported a 2000 Chrysler Town and Country van, registered to her, stolen Dec. 29, 2012. Filed March 26, Kieffer was charged with filing a false police report and for insurance fraud after the Calhoun County sheriff’s office found the van submerged in the Mississippi River. Court documents filed Feb. 19 indicate Kieffer “knowingly obtained via deception, control over $3,198.50 … from the Nationwide Insurance Company by making a false claim on an insurance policy issued by the Nationwide Insurance Company.” She pleaded guilty to those charges on Monday. Calhoun County Sheriff Bill Heffington said he followed numerous leads in pursuit of the van he presumed to have been stolen before he found evidence – broken pieces of a vehicle – at Riprap Landing north

of Hamburg, leading to the discovery of the vehicle submerged in 25 feet of river water. Recovering the van from the river required two towing companies because the first company’s truck broke as it attempted to pull the van out of the water. Kieffer pleaded guilty to both charges when she appeared in court for a separate issue. Filed July 19 were charges that Kieffer allegedly caused great bodily harm to Jeffery P. Angel July 17. According to court documents filed July 22, “while acting in a reckless manner, [Kieffer] caused great bodily harm to Jeffery P. Angel, in that she recklessly handled a loaded 38 Special Firearm while in an intoxicated state, causing said firearm to discharge, striking Jeffery P. Angel in the thumb.” Sheriff Heffington said the incident allegedly occurred in the parking lot of The Palace in Hamburg. Kieffer’s conditions for bail are not to possess or use alcohol, not to possess a firearm and not to enter a tavern. As of Monday, Kieffer was being held in the Jersey County jail with $10,000 in bail which was reduced from $25,000. (See, KIEFFER, A2)

More than 200 people attended the Calhoun Entertainment Company's Jamboree Saturday evening where numerous members of the company performed songs solo. Members on the stage, left to right, Steve Johnson, CEC director Jerry Sievers, Hardin Mayor Phil Gress, Mike Sievers, Calhoun County State's Attorney Rick Ringhausen, Rick Sievers and Alyson Woulfe sang and performed songs between small bursts of cheeky comedy which aroused much laughter from the crowd as it ate dinner.

Brussels school wrangles with elementary roof bids

By BOB CROSSEN Calhoun News-Herald The Brussels Unit 42 board of education discussed how to proceed with improvements to the elementary school roof after opening bids far outside the district’s price range. Dr. Mark Martin, Brussels schools superintendent, said the board did not take any action because the costs of repair would eat too deeply into the district’s budget, adding he is working with a couple companies to iron out better prices. “We got several bids on it to replace it or repair it. Everything is

coming in higher than we expected,” Martin said. “We’re going back and forth on those kinds of things – rules and regulations – and of course those regulations require things that are more expensive.” Martin said estimates prior to opening the bids were around $125,000, and the district looked into a maintenance grant to cover the cost. Such a grant would only take care of $50,000, he said. The board had additional questions regarding the work on the roof. Martin said the county did not have regulations or codes regarding such repair on public buildings, but said

there are state statutes that govern the work. The superintendent said the the district will investigate those codes because they will likely drive up the cost of repair or replacement of the school’s roof. Lunch prices were increased by $.20 by approval of the board to align with prices standardized by the state. Martin said the district has performed incremental increases during the past few years, and said the most recent increase puts the district in the target range issued by the state. Those lunches will be made on new equipment, however. Martin said

the district removed an old stove – approximately 50 years old – to replace it with a newer one. The stove cost the district $8,000, and will be installed next to the other stove in the kitchen. Martin said there is a considerable age difference between the new stove and other equipment still working in the kitchen. By moving playground equipment to complete a project on the septic tank – funded by a school maintenance grant from last year – Martin said the play structure fell apart and needs replacement.

around for a replacement structure, Martin said. Martin said by the end of June the gym had a new scoreboard. It was purchased by the Brussels Booster Club for $7,000, and the school board paid for up to $1,000 for the installation of the unit. Martin said the new equipment looks great in the gym. The high school English teacher retired unexpectedly, Martin said, adding the district will start the interview process for a new teacher whom it hopes to hire before the beginning of the school year. It is unclear how many candidates there are at this time for the position.

Dredging finally began at the confluence of the Illinois and Mississippi Rivers to prepare for the opening of a ferry across the river to Missouri. The Grafton City Council has been working with an engineer to dredge the river since the start of the year, and Mayor Tom Thompson hoped to have the ferry running by May. However, flooding in April delayed the work until water levels calmed.

By BOB CROSSEN Calhoun News-Herald After three years without service, the Grafton Ferry will open this Friday, offering travelers an express route to Grafton or across the river into the St. Louis area. The Calhoun Ferry Company, which also runs a ferry to and from Golden Eagle and Missouri, entered into a contract with the city of Grafton to operate a ferry for six months out of the year, Denise Knight, Calhoun Ferry Company secretary, said. “We’re looking forward to operating,” Knight said. “I’m hoping we’ll have a real good year there. It’s a booming town.” The ferry will be open Monday through Friday from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. and from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. Saturday and Sunday. Knight said a one-way trip is $8 and a roundtrip is $15 for cars. The cost will increase for larger vehicles. The Calhoun Ferry Company will supply the ferry and operate it from May 1 to Oct. 31, weather permitting. Prior to the contract with Calhoun Ferry Company, the Grafton Ferry was operated by a different private company. The city of Grafton owns the landings for the ferry, she added. Opening the ferry was delayed for

months due to heavy rainfall and flooding. Early this year, Grafton Mayor Tom Thompson announced the ferry would open in the spring, aiming for a grand

“The flooding was the biggest issue why they didn’t dredge earlier this year.”

Denise Knight Calhoun Ferry Company opening in early May. Those plans were foiled as the area was constantly doused with rain, leading to historic flood levels in April and May. Because the water was so high, the river could not be dredged, a prerequisite to opening the ferry. Dredging of the river was paid entirely through grant funds. “The flooding was the biggest issue why they didn’t dredge earlier this year,” Knight said. The flooding took its toll on local businesses in the town, Thompson said, noting he hopes the ferry will bring more visitors to help boost the economy in the city. At

recent city council meetings, Thompson has advocated for ways to increase tourism traffic to generate more sales tax revenue for the city. The increased business would benefit residents of Grafton, as well. “The flood times were devastating,” Thompson said. “You put our businesses that depend on May, June, July, August, September, October and knock them down for two months, it is absolutely catastrophic. So that’s why we’re pushing to get the ferry opening and promoting tourism.” During a city council meeting in late May, the board approved a $16,000 expense for prime time advertising with Channel 2 KTVI to promote local businesses and events in the Grafton area. Opening of the ferry comes just in time for the towboat festival this weekend when a large number of tourists are expected to visit the riverside town. Thompson said the annual Bikers for Babies event will also travel through the city during the weekend with more than 500 participating motorcycles. The grand opening for the ferry is scheduled for July 26 with a ribbon cutting ceremony at 11 a.m. C

By BOB CROSSEN Calhoun News-Herald Misfortune continued at the Winneberg Club House at the beginning of the month when the temporary roof was blown away during a storm the weekend of July 4. A straight line wind ripped the roof off the Winneberg Club House during a storm June 26, shocking members of the private club as well as its president Tom Breckenridge. A temporary roof was installed to protect the interior of the club from future storms, but high winds removed that solution, as well. “The Saturday after the Fourth of July another storm came through the county,” Breckenridge said, “and the temporary roof that was up there was partially blown off. The interior was exposed to additional rainfall on the Saturday storm.” A claims adjuster visited the location near the end of June, but Breckenridge said an official estimate of cost to repair the damages has still not been made. He said the cost to repair the roof is likely around $30,000, but that cost does not cover the price to repair the interior after the most recent storm. He said there was a lot of lost inventory and damaged furniture as well, noting plumbing, electrical work, carpet replacement and drywall repair will also be part of rebuilding the structure. Breckenridge said the club has been interviewing local contractors to do the work, though he said he does not have a timeline on when it will begin. “We’d like to get this started as soon as possible. We’re interviewing right now,” Breckenridge said. “We just got the money for the roof last week, so we’re trying to find some local people that would be willing to do it.” He said the club is still running, however, adding the pool still attracts many visitors through the week. The club house is not open, but he said a hand washing station and a mobile toilet were brought to the property. And the community has been proactive in helping the club house, he said. “We’re going to try and minimize the amount of pain this thing does,” Breckenridge said. “The people of the community have really been very understanding and every day there’s somebody that comes up, ‘Is there something I can do to help out?’” He said people have been generating ideas to help the club, and Breckenridge said he appreciates the effort of community members. The Winneberg Club is located in Golden Eagle overlooking the Mississippi River. There is no date for when reconstruction is expected to be complete.

Kiefer (Continued from A1) Angel was charged with conspiracy to commit insurance fraud in relation to Kieffer’s charges. Kristi L. Blumenberg and Zachary T. Blumenberg were also charged with conspiracy to commit insurance fraud in relation to the same case. Kieffer came under scrutiny as assessor last fall after allegations claimed she was rarely in her office, and not performing her duties of public office. The charges for insurance fraud and filing a false police report came a little more than two weeks after Kieffer was removed from her office as supervisor of assessments in a unanimous, five-member vote by the county commissioners March

12. The Calhoun County commissioners cited a number of failings as reasons for her removal from office, and appointed former Jersey County Supervisor of Assessments Tom Glynn as an interim assessor to fill her vacancy. Kieffer ran uncontested for her position in November 2013 when she was reelected to office. In May, Kieffer was indicted with six counts of official misconduct for selling county assessment records for personal gain, according to documents filed May 7 with the Calhoun County circuit clerk. A hearing for those indictments was continued to Sept. 26 at 10 a.m. when Kieffer will also face a sentence for insurance fraud and filing a false police report.

Two Rivers National Wildlife Refuge announces  new nature trail and naming contest

Calhoun County was forced to face one of its worst nightmares. The Joe Page Bridge was closed, isolating Calhoun. East Hardin was totally submerged by the river. On Sunday, July 18, 1993 a break in the levee at the Pump Station near Nutwood gave way and the Illinois River came rushing through fields, houses and businesses in its path. The break eventually was 1/4 of a mile wide.

Two Rivers National Wildlife Refuge will open a new nature trail at the Visitor Center near Brussels, Ill. on Aug. 1. This onehalf mile long trail will take visitors on a walk through the prairie to view the seasonally changing flowers and grasses, by the pond to see frogs and busy dragonflies, and into the woods to explore the forest habitat before returning to the Visitor Center. There are many learning opportunities along the trail and if interested guide books are available in the Visitor Center to help identify common animals, flowers, trees and grasses. A trail naming contest will run Aug. 1-Sep. 1. Submit a creative name by email, Facebook, or in the Visitor Center while exploring the trail. Entries can be emailed to tworivers@fws.gov. The contest is open to all ages. Each person may submit one entry. Three of the best entries will

The picnics are a family tradition with memories to share through the generations. St. Mary Picnic of Westwoods is Aug. 17 and 18 in Fieldon. They, too, have good food and entertainment for you.

The Hillen family enjoyed a weekend fishing trip to Mark Twain Refuge in Missouri. Robin Hillen and Travis and Allison and family, Jamie and Jahnee and family, and Tony and Hattie had a good time and caught some fish too. Delmar and Barb Bick enjoyed watching the grandsons play ball at Chesterfield Bottoms in Missouri. It’s fun to watch them play. FUN FISH If you wish to catch some fish And make your fishing pray, Lock up that fancy tackle box And put those lures away. Then go and cut a willow pole And get some grocery twine, Tie a hook upon the end, And worms for bait are fine. Then try to find a little “crick,” Like those of days of yore, And cast your bait into the stream As you sit on shady shore. Perhaps ‘twill be just shiners That test your fishing skill, But like those good old days long past, They’ll give your heart a thrill. I’ve often thought those shiner fish, Caught on a willow rod, Were made just for some little boys, As fun fish, by a thoughtful God. Ernest Jack Sharpe

Busy day for the Schumann's Last Saturday was a very, very busy day for us. Bev, Terrill, Xander, Redeye and I left Kampsville at 7:23 a.m. for Dixon Mount Museum, where we met Mike Wiant (top dog) and he gave us a tour. There are three stories, and all have artifacts, bones, squaws warriors, animals, etc. Xander showed all four of us up. He I going to be 10 July 29 but he knew most of the questions Mike asked him about various artifacts, etc. He told Mike he had been reading books on the various artifacts, etc. and there are at least three more books he is going to read. I finally asked them if they would like for us to go sit in the car. Xander calls adults Mr., Mrs., and Miss, but he decided Mike didn’t look like Mr. Mike, so he asked if he could call him Uncle Mike. Mike was pleased with this. The man taking care of the gift shop gave Xander a small arrow. Mike took us to lunch and then we headed home. Redeye and I were attending the CEC dinner show at 6 p.m. We got home in time that I could take a short nap. The dinner was great, servers were wonderful. One person glided through the aisle with a large tray of food carried above their head and another server

placed the plates on the table. It was amazing to see how smoothly they did this. Decorations were beautiful, as usual. Now I have to tell you about Mike Sievers, he was one of the MC’s, and you didn’t know what was coming out of his mouth. He was dressed in torn bibs with one strap hanging loose. But the kicker was when he came in dressed like a very fat woman who had to be helped to a seat, and then when he started to get up he went feet up in the air with his pantaloons showing. Four people carried him out with his feet up and his pantaloons flashing. He should be in Hollywood. The singers and musicians were awesome. I truly believe this was the best show yet. Good job everyone. Loved every minute. See you next year. Thanks to all who asked how I was doing and said they were praying for me. I appreciate this so very much. Redeye and I went to the doctor last Tuesday and he gave me water pills for my swelling legs and feet. Man oh man my legs are as tight as a fiddle bow and itch and hurt. So glad I have something else to annoy me and keeping me from walking.

Xander spent Sunday and Monday with his Grandpa Funk. Sunday they visited with his Uncle Mike and Aunt Linda. Kampsville finally got part of the streets and alleys oiled and graveled last Saturday. This job was supposed to be done much earlier, but first the flood and then the flood. We still have some streets and alleys to do later. Our summer help, Devin Hayn and Seth Green, have been painting the inside of the shower house and tearing out the stools. They also have been mowing, weed eating, etc. Hopefully, we will be able to have the shower house open soon. Two floods back to back did a lot of damage. I am going to Siteman this coming Wednesday to get another blast of radiation, then in a few weeks I have another scan to see how things are going. Please continue to pray for the sick, etc. Well I have fallen asleep and my head has landed on the keyboard three times so need to go to bed. Good night. And how was your week? See you next week.

Your efforts make a difference We had a great week this past week as we hosted our annual Vacation Bible School. Throughout the week, we had over 50 kids who came to our VBS and the workers were exhausted by the week’s end. Friday night, we made a large slip and slide and the kids could not get enough of it. If anyone invested any stock in water balloons, I am sure we helped their cause as we used so many that we could not keep up with them. It has been our tremendous pleasure to do this for the kids in our community. Sunday, we had our highest attendance this year as we presented our Vacation Bible School closing program. We listened to the kids dance and sing and listen to our VBS director Michelle Bridges share with those in attendance what we did at VBS. After the service, we provided hot dogs and Sloppy Joes after service. Thank you to all the parents who have allowed us to have your children for VBS this year. You can find a video presentation of VBS on our Facebook page. I had the privilege of teaching the teens this past week at VBS. It has been such a thrill to teach them for the first time in two years, as I have spent 17 years of my life teaching teens. At first I was a little hesitant, but I had a tremendous group. I appreciated each one of them. One

thing I have learned as a youth leader is that if you listen carefully, those you teach can teach you as well. It has been quite some time since I have been to Kampsville for our monthly get together with the youth, which we called Connections, in our community. At first, I did not think that the young people could care less. Last week, I learned that I could not be more wrong about that. In a teachable moment, God used one of the teens to show me that there are a few who do care. I had a sleepless night as I pondered the words of that individual and the possibility of bringing back the monthly fellowship. Too often we look for success in numbers. Does the success of VBS lie in how many more people we got or is it unsuccessful if we get less people than the year before? I don’t know how many people read this column week in and week out, but I do know a few people do because I have been unexpectedly informed by people that I meet throughout the community. Businesses find success in numbers. The more people they get, the more money they make. The last meeting we had was a bit of a damper since it was one our lowest numbers since our first one. That night, I discovered something. Sometimes success can be found in one. I am reminded of this story that I have shared in a

message I once preached: An old man, walking the beach at dawn, who noticed a young man ahead of him picking up starfish and flinging them into the sea. Catching up with the youth, he asked what he was doing. His answer was that the stranded starfish would die if left in the morning sun. “But the beach goes on for miles and miles, and there are millions of starfish,” countered the man. “How can your effort make any difference?” The young man looked at the starfish in his hand and then threw it to safety in the waves. “It makes a difference to this one,” he said. Did my story make a difference for one person? Did our VBS make a difference for one person? Do our kind words make a difference for one person? Do our selfless actions make a difference for one person? Did our “Connections” make a difference for one person? Sometimes we may never see it or hear it, but if we made a difference in one person’s life, then we are more successful than we realize. The difference we can make in one individual could be passed on to another individual. “What do you think? If any man has a hundred sheep, and one of them has gone astray, does he not leave the ninety-nine on the mountains and go and search for the one that is straying? (Matthew 18:12)

GRAFTON WHAT'S HAPPENING AROUND

Governor Quinn signs laws to make waterways safer for Illinois families House laws crack down on boaters who drive under the influence of alcohol Governor Pat Quinn issued a stern warning Sunday to anyone who pilots a boat while under the influence of alcohol: if you’re drunk while operating a boat, you may lose your right to operate a car. Standing at Chicago’s new 31st Street marina and joined by the family of Tony Borcia – the 10-year old Libertyville boy killed last July by a drunk boater – Governor Quinn signed two bills to crack down on boating under the influence and strengthen other provisions of Illinois’ boating safety laws. Sunday’s action is part of the governor’s agenda to keep Illinois families safe. “One year ago, Tony Borcia and his family were enjoying a day out on the lake, tubing behind a pontoon boat. Suddenly a large speedboat piloted by a man impaired by alcohol and drugs bore down on Tony, resulting in this fatal tragedy. We enact this law in Tony’s memory,” Governor Quinn said. “Tony Borcia could have been anyone’s son, brother, grandson or nephew. People enjoying our magnificent waterways shouldn’t have to worry about reckless, drunken boaters when they’re out tubing, swimming or paddling.” “We need to change the culture that accepts and even encourages a driver of a boat to drink while driving. It is time to take our lakes and rivers back,” said Margaret Borcia, Tony’s mother, who launched the “Y-noT Project” to encourage responsible boating. She invited people to visit the project’s website at www.ynotproject.com/. Governor Quinn Sunday signed Senate Bill 1479 – sponsored by State Senator Julie A. Morrison (D-Deerfield) and State Representative Scott Drury (D-Highwood) – which ensures that anyone operating a motorboat involved in an accident involving serious injury or death must consent to the chemical testing of their blood, breath or urine to determine blood alcohol or drug content. Operators who refuse testing, test positive for drugs or exceed the legal blood alcohol content limit, face suspension of their Illinois driver’s license. This law takes effect on Jan. 1. “Drinking and boating is every bit as dangerous as drinking and driving,” Senator Morrison said, Tony Borcia’s aunt and the chief sponsor of the legislation. “I hope this law will make everyone operating a boat think twice before consuming alcohol.” “Drunk and intoxicated boaters have stolen our lakes from local families, at times resulting

in senseless and preventable tragedies,” Representative Drury said. “These new laws will keep our communities safer by sending a strong message that the culture of irresponsible boating behavior will no longer be tolerated in Illinois.” -MOREIn 2012, there were 101 boating-related accidents on Illinois waters, resulting in 17 deaths and 77 injuries. Alcohol use was a contributing factor in 13 of the accidents and five of the fatalities. Governor Quinn also signed Senate Bill 1310 – sponsored by State Senator Melinda Bush (D-Grayslake) and State Representative Michael J. Zalewski (D-Riverside) – which strengthens the state’s Boat Registration and Safety Act regarding a boat’s carrying capacity, redefines “authorized emergency watercraft” and hikes penalties on boat rental operators who fail to equip their crafts. The new law, which takes effect immediately, clarifies that a person being towed by a watercraft, such as a skier, tuber or parasailer, is considered part of the total number of passengers for purposes of a boat’s carrying capacity. The clarification will curb overcrowding by closing a loophole for boat operators claiming that a passenger being towed is not part of the watercraft’s overall capacity. The new law also adds flashing blue lights to the list of colored lights necessary for a watercraft to be designated an authorized emergency watercraft. This will enable Illinois Conservation Police, whose boats use flashing blue lights, to better enforce the law. Finally, the legislation boosts penalties on boat rental operators who fail to properly equip a rental craft with life jackets, a fire extinguisher or lighting. “With summer in full swing and Illinois residents spending recreational time on the water, ensuring safe waterways is critical,” Representative Zalewski said. “I look forward to working with law enforcement officials to keep our children, families and friends safe while they enjoy Illinois’ lakes and rivers.” “These new laws will help Illinois Conservation Police officers and other law enforcement units remind boaters and boat operators to be safe while spending time on the water this summer and year-round,” Illinois Department of Natural Resources Director Marc Miller said. “Staying safe starts with always wearing a life jacket, and never operating a boat while under the influence of drugs or alcohol.”

Grafton Harbor offers cruises, tours and boat rentals By BOB CROSSEN Campbell Publications Some new vessels grace the moorings at Grafton Harbor where people can now rent out boats for personal use or take tours on larger vessels with many other people. Jen Gibson, event organizer, said a seasonal boat named Hakuna Mattata offers regular day cruise tours of the river at 1 p.m. Friday through Sunday, and has special themed trips planned through the fall. “That is going over leaps and bounds. People are calling for that left and right,” Gibson said, adding the boat tours are seasonal and will end as the colors of the leaves change. “Hopefully, as long as the river is open, we’ll do it through eagle season.” The River Rambler Cruises – a narrative tour highlighting historical and geographical areas along the river – are 45 minutes long, she said and participants can reserve lunch to eat on the boat which has indoor, air-conditioned seating

as well as outdoor seating on the second floor of the vessel. Other cruises include shipwrecked cruises where participants ride along on the Hakuna Mattata and act as if they are shipwrecked and become stranded on an island. Gibson said the boat stops at an island for a party with a bon fire and food before taking the boat back to Grafton. “We’re going to have a big bonfire and barbecue and baked beans and coleslaw and potato salad and have a party out on an island,” Gibson said, adding there will also be a Jimmy Buffet cruise. She said wine tasting cruises are also planned in addition to a pair of moonshine cruises in the coming months. But those more interested in intimate river outings can rent a boat – pontoons, runabouts, paddle boats and canoes – for personal use for a set number of hours on the river. She said the costs for each of the boats differ because of their capacity, but noted all the water vessels are brand new.

come back and get the remainder of the major bridges, which includes the Joe Page Bridge.â&#x20AC;? Monroe said he is unsure of the date the inspection will take place but said the Joe Page Bridge is unique as it always has a bridge tender on deck. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Plus, there is a mechanic that works five-days-a-week and eighthours-a-day on that bridge,â&#x20AC;? Monroe said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So, it actually gets 24-hour-a -day attention where a lot of the other bridges do not.â&#x20AC;? Most of the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bridges are inspected on a regular interval by IDOTâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s field staff and the bridge inspection unit goes through all bridges on regularly scheduled intervals. The governor also sent letters of condolence to both Minnesota Governor Tom Pawlenty and Minneapolis Mayor R.T. Rybak. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our hearts and prayers are with the victims and their families of this terrible disaster in Minnesota,â&#x20AC;? said Gov. Blagojevich. â&#x20AC;&#x153;While we have a rigorous inspection system that ensures the safety of our bridges in Illinois, a tragedy like this demands that we step up our efforts and do everything in our power to guarantee the safety of our bridge network.â&#x20AC;? Bridge inspectors from IDOT and the Tollway will be examining bridges that are similar in design to the Minnesota bridge, are under construction, or that carry high volumes over waterways. Critical spans, including those crossing the Mississippi River and other major waterways, will be visually inspected immediately, with more detailed inspections in coming days using high tech equipment. Visual inspectors will be looking for general structure alignment and anything out and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re double checking to make of the ordinary. The detailed inspecsure weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in conformance with those tions will assess beam deterioration, bridges that are under construction,â&#x20AC;? determine the condition of the conIDOT Operations Engineer Joseph nections and identify cracks and anyMonroe said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Then weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to thing that is out of alignment.

IVEDC awards scholarships

Scholarship program is that it is not limited to recent high school graduates but is extended to individuals who may be returning to complete their education as adults. For the past five years a large percentage of scholarships have been awarded to individuals whose circumstances had never before afforded them the opportunity or time consider further education. Many of those individuals and their households had participated in other corollary services offered by the agency and whose educational interests were fostered by this relationship. Director Schwab stated that the CSBG Scholarship Program will have funds available to award several additional scholarships to interested individuals residing in Calhoun, Greene, Jersey, and Macoupin Counties during the 2013 Program Year. For more information contact the agency Administrative office at 217 839 4431.

Frank, J. Schwab, Director of the Illinois Valley Economic Development Corporation is pleased to announce that the agency has awarded three $1000 Community Service Block Grant (CSBG) Scholarships to area students.

The scholarships were awarded on Monday, July 15, with Joe Broers, Community Services Block Grant Coordinator presenting the scholarships. Lisa is working toward becoming a Dental Assistant, Jennifer is pursuing a degree in Special Education, and Rosemary is working toward becoming and Administrative Assistant. CSBG scholarships are awarded to low-income residents, who desire to further their educations as fulltime students at an Illinois accredited two-year community college, or four-year college or university.

Post 636 edged for 20th District title The Calhoun American Legion Post 636 summer baseball season came to a close Tuesday, July 16, as Jerseyville Post 492 won for the second time in as many outings at the best-of-three 20th District Tournament at the Don Snyders Sports Complex. Jerseyville won a 15-3 decision to

clinch its third-straight district title. One day after mounting a sevenrun, ninth-inning rally to force extra innings, Calhoun again found itself facing an early deficit in Game 2. Post 492 led 4-0 through the first inning, but Calhoun cut its deficit in half in the top of the second. Sam Barczewski doubled

and moved to third base on a single by Travis Bick before Seth Peters drove him home. Josh Gross' single drove home Bick to make it a 4-2 game, but that was as close Post 636 would get to the lead. Peters drove home Barczewski for the second time in the third inning, bringing Calhoun within 6-3.

The Calhoun Warriors football team is hosting a steak dinner and Texas hold’em tournament fundraiser to raise money for much needed equipment. The fundraiser begins at 6 p.m. Friday, August 2, at Straight Home Bar & Grill. The event includes a steak dinner complete with a 50-50 raffle, basket raffles, card raffles and a silent auction followed by a Texas hold’em tournament. Guest speaker, coach Ric Johns, will speak at 6:30 p.m. The meal will be served at approximately 7 p.m. Tickets are $25 each and will include a salad, potato, steak and dessert. Keg beer will be provided during the dinner. In order to ensure a successful dinner, only advanced tickets are available and need to be purchased by Wednesday. Calhoun football players are selling tickets, which are also available at Straight Home and Ayerco. For more information, contact Sue Pohlman at (618) 576-9312 or pohlman@frontiernet.net. To make donations for the baskets and raffles, contact Andrea Snyders at (618) 396-1003 or asnyders@fps-inc.com.

Flood of '93 - 20th anniversary Calhoun News-Herald Archives

The Bank of Calhoun County has a wall of sandbags beyond its windows trying to keep back the water. Pumps are run to keep as much seep water away as possible. Someone watches the pumps 24 hours a day to be sure there are no problems.

Calhoun News-Herald Archives Calhoun News-Herald Archives

The Kampsville Inn now is flooded to a depth of about five feet. The Kampsville Ferry remains closed.

Calhoun News-Herald Archives

The Golden Eagle Ferry in South Calhoun has not been operating since the high water began. The ferry is docked against the large tree that stands near the ferry landing.

Calhoun News-Herald Archives

Kinder’s Restaurant in Golden Eagle is halfway submerged in the rising Mississippi River waters. Business has been practically shot down all spring and summer.

The Calhoun Family Practice building also yielded to the river Sunday, July 18. The building had been dry with the protective wall of sandbags surrounding it. It had been encircled with water for over a week.

Calhoun News-Herald Archives

Michael Post Office moved out July 21, relocating in the Dominican Hall. Water stood about a foot deep in the building when this photo was taken, Aug. 3.

Instead of tying up horses to trees like the old days, boats are now the “in thing” in most towns in Calhoun. Hamburg residents are making use of their trees. The home in the background belongs to Jesse and Pat Blank. It is a weekend home for them as they live out of the county.

Looking down the main street south of Hardin Aug. 1 all one sees is water. Boats can now be seen on every street. Water threatened more homes in the center of town and more sandbagging had to be done. The care that sits to the left would be much deeper in water if it were there Tuesday. Sunday’s river level was 441.9 and Tuesday’s was 442.4.

The rooftop of Richter’s warehouse near the levee can be seen next to the bridge. Some sand piles and sandbags near this building were unable to be recovered before the water took over. The levee is in the background.

Calhoun News-Herald Archives Calhoun News-Herald Archives

The highway directly north of the bridge, leading to Northside began to flood. The truck above is heading toward town after purchasing supplies at Northside.

The water continues to close streets in Hardin. The main road going north and south through twon has townspeople trapped. Roas are closed going in both directions. Those living south and north of Hardin ar having to drive the West Side roads to get to the county seat.

Calhoun News-Herald Archives

Following a long battle, the newly remodeled house of Marvin Richter in Kampsville fell victim of the flood.

Foods that can help fight cancer Cancer affects the lives millions of people across the globe. When detected early, cancer becomes a significantly less formidable foe, as survival rates for cancer patients whose cancer was detected early are much higher than those whose initial diagnosis came after the disease had progressed into its later stages. But early detection isn't the only way to beat cancer. According to the American Cancer Society, a healthy diet that includes at least 21/2 cups of fruits and vegetables

each day can help men, women and children lower their cancer risk. Fruits and vegetables that have the most color, such as those that are dark green, red, yellow, and orange, tend to have the most nutrients. Fruits and vegetables are typically low in calories as well, which helps people maintain healthy weights. That's a significant benefit, as the ACS Cancer Prevention Study II showed significant increases in cancer occurrence in people who are the most

overweight. The link between cancer andobesity is especially strong with specific cancers, including breast cancer after menopause and cancers of the colon, rectum, pancreas, kidneys, esophagus, and endometrium. What's more, studies have shown that obese men and women have a harder time battling cancer upon diagnosis. So while a diet rich in fruits and vegetables can help lower cancer risk, such a diet may even make it easier to battle cancer if diagnosed.

Retirement plan tips for savers (StatePoint) Whether you’re a risk taker or a more conservative saver, retirement planning should be a top priority. Taking charge of your savings, regardless of your life stage or savings style, can help to ensure you get “to” and “through” retirement and live the lifestyle you think is right for you. If you have an employer-sponsored retirement plan, experts say that you can benefit by taking a closer look at your account to explore ways to combat risk and protect savings for the future. “No matter what kind of saver you are, connecting with a retirement consultant or financial professional can help restore confidence in your retirement plan,” says Chuck Cornelio, President of Retirement Plan Services at Lincoln Financial Group. “These individuals will review your risk preferences, as well as what’s available within your plan to help you map out a path to retirement that is right for you.” Consider the following five tips

that can help you manage risk and volatility within an employersponsored account, like a 401(k) or 403(b): • Know your plan: Many options within an employer-sponsored plan are designed to offer capital protection and volatility management. Some can accommodate changing market conditions, seeking to protect growth as the market fluctuates and defend against losses. Knowing what investment options are available to you is the first step to protecting your savings. • Consider lifestyle options: Your risk tolerance may change over time based on how many years away you are from retirement. For example, investments known as target date funds are designed to manage risk over time without moving assets out of a retirement portfolio, so participants always stay invested. The flexibility of these funds can cover a broad range of risk tolerance. • Explore in-plan guarantee options: Some features in today’s

retirement plans include guaranteed income options that can provide savers with a steady income stream in retirement while also offering protection against downturns in the market. • Review your investments: Ask your employer about retirement planning education, online tools or one-on-one support to get a better handle on whether your investment strategy is in line with your overall retirement goals, as well as your risk tolerance. Take advantage of all the resources available to you. • Stay the course: A common mistake people make is letting their emotions lead to actions. Resist the temptation to move out of your investments into areas you think are more stable. The best way to prepare for retirement is to ride the market’s waves and remain invested for the long-term. If you’re enrolled in your company’s retirement plan, remember to stay on track to be better prepared for the years ahead.

Life is expensive: How to avoid debt (StatePoint) From going to school to going on a date to getting married, life has hidden price tags that have been sending many Americans down a path to major debt and bankruptcy. Some of life’s most exciting events also bring with them the possibility to build major debts and harm our credit, financial experts are warning. To help, the experts at Lexington

Law, a provider of consumer credit correction services, are pointing out the financial traps in everyday life that easily ensnare the average American family. Here are just a few financial pitfalls they are highlighting: • Getting a credit card is exciting, but the average credit card debt is $7,093. • The average date costs $130. • In 2012, the average engage-

ment ring cost $9,431, and the typical wedding weighed-in at $28,400. • Mortgage debt currently is averaging $148,818 and the typical car loan is $26,700. • 35-44 year-olds have the highest bankruptcy rate. Remember, the first step to better money management is being savvier about financial pitfalls to avoid.

Cut that energy bill and stay green Homeowners continue to seek creative ways to reduce monthly expenses while being more environmentally conscious. Knowing where your money is being spent gives you a better understanding of how and where to make efficiencies. The United States Department of Energy says that household heating and cooling accounts for around 54 percent of the average American's utility bill. Savings could be achieved through proper equipment maintenance and upgrades. However, the Department of Energy explains that an energy efficient furnace alone

will not have as great an impact on energy bills as using a whole-house approach. Consider a home's wall infrastructure. If traditional insulation material has been installed, replacing it with a modern alternative can help alleviate the high monthly energy costs. Stop-gap solutions such as caulking and sealing cracks might not be sufficient. However, spray foam insulation, like that available from innovators Icynene, provides a complete solution sealing any gaps that would allow heating and cooling to escape.
