Unit 40 puts sales tax on ballot By BOB CROSSEN Calhoun News-Herald The Calhoun Community Unit School District 40 Board approved to place on the ballot a referendum for the school facilities occupation tax. The school facilities occupation tax, commonly referred to as a sales tax, would be imposed on retail goods and prepared food similar to the public safety tax passed by the county in November 2012. It may not be used for teacher salaries or anything related to the instruction of students such as textbooks or computers. However, the money can be used for any improvements to school infrastructure as it relates to facilities maintenance or upgrades.

“[The inspector] worries more about efficiency than anything at the high school. Doors and windows. That’s something we’re going to have to address in years to come.”

The money raised through the sales tax may also be used to pay back bonded debt from facility bonds, which could ultimately reduce the district’s tax rate. Facilities maintenance is on the mind of the district after a recent health life safety report. Though there are no major problems with the facilities, Superintendent Kate Sievers said energy efficiency and students’ safety are important issues to address. “[The inspector] worries more about efficiency than anything at the high school,” Sievers said. “Doors and windows. That’s something we’re going to have to address in years to come.” The Brussels Community Unit School District 42 board took no action regarding the same referendum during its meeting last month, citing its distrust in the state of Illinois to handle

funds honestly. Sievers said the money from the occupation tax bypasses the general assembly, and rather goes straight to the Illinois Department of Revenue before it is dispersed separately from other taxes, meaning the general assembly cannot get its hands on the money. Voters will decide whether to impose the tax or refuse to impose it during the election in November. If it were to pass, the money would follow students, meaning the tax money is divvied among school districts based on where a student attends classes. The tax would not be imposed on prescription drugs or other medicines, property titled or registered with an agency of the state government, unprepared food, and farm equipment. Additionally, the board approved updated student handbooks for both the elementary school and high school. Most changes were simple tweaks to wording, but one is based on a new law allowing school administration to request the passwords from students for their social media accounts. Board member Greg Weishaupt worried the change was an intrusion of privacy, and could pose legal ramifications for the district. “I don’t see how that’s going to fly if you’ve got the U.S. Supreme Court saying this information needs to be maintained privately and doesn’t necessarily give authorities access without a search warrant,” Weishaupt said. Calhoun Elementary School Principal Kathy Schell said the language must be placed into the handbook by law, which states elementary and secondary schools have the authority to request the passwords if it is believed there is evidence a student violated a school policy or disciplinary rule. The law does not require districts to request passwords in such a situation. Sievers – who had similar reservations to Weishaupt – said administrators in the district would not enforce that authority outside extreme circumstances. When she sought an answer for how to proceed if a student refuses to offer the password, she said she was faced with two answers: either the students receives a disciplinary action for insubordination or the refusal is seen as guilt of a policy violation, the evidence for which would be on the social media site.

By BOB CROSSEN Calhoun News-Herald The Golden Eagle Gun Club took home three state titles at this year’s state shooting competition, and two of the teams will compete in the national competition July 13 and 14. Doug Wilschetz, Golden Eagle Gun Club head coach, said there are three divisions based on age in the Illinois Scholastic Clay Target Program competition in which the club competed. The group that took home first and third

place in the rookie division were in fifth grade or younger, he said, while those who are in grades six through eight managed first in the intermediate division. He said the group competing in the senior division – all high schoolers – did not place, but put in a good fight. Last year, the rookie division landed a second place national victory while the intermediate division took home first at the National Scholastic Clay Target Program (NSCTP) competition in Sparta. He said placing highest with its youngest shooters in multiple years shows great promise for the club’s competitive future.

the southern part of the county where the team has one trap that it uses to keep the shooters in shape. Wilschetz said the team occasionally uses a facility on Chuck Squier’s farm for additional training. The World Shooting and Recreational Complex in Sparta has three-and-a-half miles of track for shooting, which can be daunting for first-time competitors. “Fifth and sixth grade are a little overwhelmed the first time they go to a place like that,” Wilschetz said. “The more experience, the better it was for them.” (See, gun club, A2)

“I think that has been a strong point for our teams over the years,” Wilschetz said. “There’s a lot of clubs and organizations that are involved in shooting, and a lot of them don’t get the younger kids involved.” By getting shooters interested at a younger age, he said they gain experience not only through practice of hitting the targets, but also in attending multiple competitive events. Performing in high pressure situations at a younger age is important in calming nerves in later years for an added competitive advantage, as is reflected in the team’s results.

The Calhoun Youth Center, also referred to as the Hot Spot, will host an open house July 4 from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. The area aims to give high school students in the county a safe place to hang out with their friends, study or play video games with friends. The Hot Spot is located in the basement of the Presbyterian Church in Hardin.

After receiving support from the village of Hardin earlier this year, two community members organized the creation and opening of a youth center for the county’s high school students. The Calhoun Youth Center, also referred to as the Hot Spot, will be open to the public Friday from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. when it will host its open house. Dick Lieber and Jean Lieber said they have been working the last three months to make a space open to the students since it was first brought to the village board in March. “It just seems like it was a crying need. The kids have no place to really go outside of school hours to hang out, so to speak,” Dick Lieber said. “Many other communities have these sort of things, and it just seemed like it was appropriate to have something for Calhoun County.” He said they have been working to make the space attractive enough that kids will want to come and spend time there, and in realizing that effort, they’ve spared few expenses.

High river levels threaten ferry closure By BOB CROSSEN Calhoun News-Herald Projections for the river level in Grafton indicate the Brussels Ferry service may be interrupted early next week on the Grafton side of the ferry’s landing. Water levels in both Grafton and Hardin are projected to rise throughout the holiday weekend and into the beginning of next week. Though the projections for Hardin indicate the ferry would not be closed, Grafton’s projections show otherwise.

According to the hydrograph provided on the National Weather Service website accessed July 1, water levels in Grafton may rise as high as 26.1 feet into the middle of the moderate flood stage. Major flood stage in Grafton begins at 29 feet. Denise Knight, Calhoun Ferry Company, said both the Golden Eagle and Grafton ferries could potentially close if the predictions remain unchanged. If the Golden Eagle Ferry were to close, the Winfield Ferry would open in its stead. Knight said the levels take into

account rain prior to and 24 hours after each prediction. Because of this, she said she’s seen projections drop in the past. “I’m hoping they downgrade them. They’ll (Grafton and Golden Eagle) both be closing if the predictions are correct,” Knight said. “I am always scared to tell people we’ll be closed a certain day because I’ve seen them downgrade it two plus feet before.” To keep up-to-date on the status of the Golden Eagle and Winfield ferries, visit the Calhoun Ferry Company Facebook page where consistent updates are published.

reception Thursday

By BOB CROSSEN Calhoun News-Herald Calhoun County Circuit Judge Richard Greenlief will celebrate retirement with a reception open to the public Thursday, July 3, at the courthouse from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m.

The people of Calhoun County, the state of Illinois get more out of the process if I were to retire a little early and [Burch] is sworn in.”

Richard Greenlief Calhoun County Circuit Judge With nearly 18 years served as judge in Calhoun County, Greenlief said he chose to leave the seat to care for his wife and to allow Charles H.W. Burch time to transition into the job. Burch beat Tammy Evans during the primary election in March on the Democratic ticket. There is no Republican candidate running for the office, and the Illinois Supreme Court appointed Burch to fill Greenlief’s seat upon his retirement in July. Burch will be sworn into office July 7. Greenlief said there are few cases he could be given at this time if he were to remain in office until November. He said early retirement would benefit the county and the circuit in keeping the legal processes

moving. “It probably was just as appropriate, better actually, to get him started on his process of becoming a judge,” Greenlief said. “It makes more sense. The people of Calhoun County, the state of Illinois get more out of the process if I were to retire a little early and [Burch] is sworn in.” Greenelief was named chief justice of the eighth judicial circuit, and with that title came the responsibility to travel throughout the eightcounty circuit for the job. Last fall, Greenlief said the travel gave him time to reflect on the years leading up to his retirement. Those reflections kept him from making decisions “off the cuff,” he said last year, but since January, he’s traveled less for the job. Rather than reflecting during long car rides, he said he’s spent time with his wife, Sheila Greenlief. “We have been busy enough ... and the idea of retiring and all that, that maybe over the last six months there hasn’t been a whole lot of reflecting,” Greenlief said, noting he got his last travel vouchers Monday. “I’ve been a little preoccupied, I admit, and that’s also part of the reason to have some one who is not preoccupied.” The judge has a passion for cars, most notably Ford Mustangs because he got his license when the Mustang was first introduced. Greenlief said he has been too busy with his family and work to spend much time in his workshop. But after retiring, he said one of his first orders of business will be getting the workshop in shape so he can begin work on some cars. “The first thing I’ve got to do is (See, greenlief, A2)

Letters to the editor

Passage of CFST would benefit school district, property owners TO THE EDITOR: Dear community members, good news, bad news! In this week’s newspaper you will see that the Calhoun School Board of Education approved to move forward with placing a 1 percent County Facility Sales Tax (CFST) Referendum on the November ballot. This comes on the heels of the district finding out the local Equalized Assessed Values (EAV) for the properties in the Calhoun School District decreased by 10.5 percent. While this is good news for property owners, it provides a negative impact for the school district. The school district will receive $273,000 less money from local property taxes due to the reassessment of local properties. Many of you should be aware of the financial situation the school district is currently facing. This has been an ongoing discussion for the past few months. The Calhoun School Board of Education has had to make some difficult decisions about the future of the Calhoun School District. They approved and issued working cash bonds which will help offset the decreased revenues from the state and now local monies. However, we are far from being financially stable. By passing the CFST, it would open up another revenue source for the school district. With having many unknown variables such as the future of school funding, the gubernatorial election in November and continued reassessment of properties in Calhoun County it is very difficult to plan for the future of the Calhoun School District. With running on a very strict budget for a number of years, many facility projects are pushed off until later

(Continued from A1) get the workshop reorganized so I can get these things in full swing,” Greenlief said. “I am looking forward to it and we are making steps toward that.” Though life has been hectic for Greenlief, he said he still would like to take the time to travel as things settle down. Last fall, he said he wanted to take some time to visit his grandchildren in North Carolina and hopefully take them to Disney World. He said the plans are still up in the air. But travel out of the country is also on the docket, he added. Traveling to Scotland to see relatives of his wife is a possibility. As for passing the torch,

dates. After years of doing this, it comes a point where things must be fixed and brought up to code to comply with local, state and federal guidelines. By passing the CFST, those monies can be spent to help with these types of expenses. The CFST would also be used to help pay down the debt incurred by the Calhoun School District. As the debt is paid off, the property tax rate will decrease too. This is a savings for you the property owner. This could be a win-win situation for property owners and the school district. What does this mean for the average consumer in Calhoun? If a person were to take a family out to eat at a local restaurant and the total bill was $25, they would pay an extra .25. If a person were to purchase gasoline for $50, they would pay an additional .50. There are many things exempt from the 1 percent CFST, such as sales of automobiles, ATVs, boats, farm equipment, farm inputs, and parts. Also exempt are prescription drugs (including over the counter drugs and vitamins), services, and unprepared food/groceries. Calhoun School District #40 has a community that has continually supported it no matter what it was, athletics, academics, and financially. It does “take a village” to raise and support our children. I am very proud to work and be part of the Calhoun School District. Please contact me if you have any questions or concerns. DR. KATE SIEVERS Superintendent Calhoun Community Unit #40 School District

Greenlief said he has faith in Burch’s abilities. “I envy him the journey he is beginning. I wouldn’t hesitate to do it again if circumstances were right,” Greenlief said. “It is a wonderful position where you can do a lot of good for people, whether it be for the community as a whole or sometimes individuals. “I wish him the best of luck in this job. I am confident he will do a very good job for the people of Calhoun County and the state of Illinois.” A public reception for Greenlief’s retirement will be held in the county board room July 3, from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. where there will be light refreshments.

Youth Center (Continued from A1) Located in the basement of the Presbyterian Church in Hardin, the space has spots for bands to practice their instruments, students to study together and friends to play games on Xbox One and Playstation 4 using the two 60-inch high definition televisions. “What we have is all the things we think the kids like these days, and of course what they’re into is the gaming,” Dick Lieber said. For those who enjoy more traditional games, there are also a foosball and an air hockey table for high schoolers to spend time at the Hot Spot. Board games have been stocked in the space, as well. Although the center is located in the basement of the Presbyterian Church, Dick Lieber said the center does not have any religious affiliations so as not to discourage the high schoolers from coming to the center. “This is for everybody. The church does not run it. The church is only providing the space for it, but they have graciously provided the space,” Dick Lieber said. In addition to the games and spaces for high schoolers to entertain themselves, Dick Lieber said he is interested in hosting dances or other events to bring in crowds and publicize the Hot Spot. What the center does as far as events are concerned will be guided by those who visit the Hot Spot. Administrators of the center will talk to the teens about what they are interested in having at the center. “This is not going to be driven by adults,” Dick Lieber said. “We’re waiting to get our operation going and see what the kids would like to do and how often they’d like to do it and so forth.” Throughout the center will also be a wifi connection so students can bring in laptops or tablets and access the Internet for entertainment or research purposes. There will be a snack bar for guests, the revenues from which will be used to pay the center’s bills and keep things running. He said the first month of visits will be open for free, but for future months he said there may be a monthly fee of $5 to ensure the

center can pay its bills. “We’re doing it all on a volunteer basis, and the number of hours we’ll be open will be dictated by the number of volunteers we have and, of course, the demand,” Dick Lieber said. To begin, he said the Hot Spot will be open for select hours Thursday and Friday and may expand those hours depending on how many people continue to come to the center. During the school year, he said he hopes to have it open after school. Those interested in volunteering at the Hot Spot can come to the open house July 4, from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. to discuss the options or they may contact Dick Lieber for more information.

Warrant issued for registered sex offender in Greene County By BOB CROSSEN Calhoun News-Herald A warrant was issued for an Illinois registered sex offender in Greene County after he was allegedly witnessed within 500 feet of William C. Horman Memorial Park in Hardin. Hardin Police Chief Mike Rexford said Allen Stelbrink of

Kane was witnessed near the park’s premises Wednesday, June 18 at 6 a.m. Through the investigation, the police chief said a warrant was obtained for Stelbrink June 26 for unlawful presence of a child sex offender in a public park. He said the warrant was sent to Greene County to bring Stelbrink into custody.

Photos of Vietnam casualties sought for memorial STAFF REPORT Calhoun News-Herald Calhoun News-Herald and the Illinois Press Association are assisting in the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Foundation’s project “Faces Never Forgotten.” The project aims to complete a “Wall of Faces,” which will be displayed in electronic format in the education center at Vietnam Memorial Wall in Washington D.C. Photos of service members who made the ultimate sacrifice for their country during the war are being sought. According to the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Fund’s website, vvmf.org, Calhoun County was home to four service mem-

bers who were killed in the line of duty during the Vietnam War. Photos of the four service members have not been located for the memorial. They are: James Palmer, Centerville, Marine Corps, died Feb. 14, 1969; Dallas R. Snodgrass, Brussels, Army, died Jan. 1, 1970; James A. Plummer, Hardin, Army, died May 5, 1967; Carl J. Wieneke, Hardin, Army, died Feb. 6, 1968. Anyone with a photo of one of those four individuals is asked to submit it to the News-Herald by emailing it to: jcjnews@campbellpublications.net, or by bringing it to our office at 310 S. County Road., in Hardin. The NewsHerald will simply scan the photo and return it to its owner.

Unit 40 (Continued from A1) Sievers said she would seek the disciplinary action and wait for proof of a student’s wrong-doing. Board member Luke Fraley said teachers should be subject to the rule as well, and Sievers agreed. She said the clause will be on a form when people sign in to use computers, meaning students, staff, teachers and administrators will fall under the policy. Other changes include prohibiting e-cigarettes and medicinal marijuana in addition to already prohibited inhalants. A policy will also be in place for eavesdropping and language will be added for hazing and other harassment.

Gun club (Continued from A1) The NSCTP competition is also held in Sparta, he said, noting the team is lucky to be in such close proximity. The Golden Eagle Gun Club squads that place in the state competition, he said, are then brought to the national competition to test their abilities further against the country’s best squads. But there has been talk the national competition could move to a different location next year, and Wilschetz said the move would put financial pressure on the club that uses fundraisers, donations and grant money to keep its operations running. “The biggest thing to overcome any more is shortage of ammunition at times, or shortages of powder for reloading,” Wilschetz said. “The cost of targets with the shortages– it’s supply and demand, so the cost of ammunition has gone up.” He said the club has also got-

ten help from the Friends of the NRA group, which offers grants to shooting sport clubs – the Golden Eagle club was awarded approximately $7,000 this year – to be used for ammunition purchases or to buy targets. The grant money and fundraisers keep the costs of the program down for the parents, Wilschetz said, and that allows more children who are interested in the club to give it a shot. “Winning a trophy or winning a state shoot is wonderful, but really the goal is offering the kids [a chance to compete], being able to offer the opportunity to do it,” Wilschetz said, “and [Friends of NRA] helps with the grants.” Three of the Golden Eagle Gun Club teams will participate in the National Scholastic Clay Target Program competition July 13 and 14 in Sparta where they hope to bring home national titles two years in a row.

Sorry my column didn’t make it in the paper last week. Guess I got it in too late. Hopefully, it will be in this week. Xander, as usual, is keeping PaPa and me on our toes. I wish I were smart as he is. He can make our computer do everything but walk and talk. I am still having problems with Facebook, it will just lock up for no reason. Good luck to Sami, Dre and Carson on another leg in their journey thru life. They are moving to NC where Dre is in the Military. Redeye and I wish you the best, and we will miss you. Keep in touch. Redeye, and I, traveled to Carrollton Saturday afternoon and picked up a boatload of medicine from Pharmacy Plus, and then he decided he wanted to go to Jacksonville to eat and then on to

Walmart. We didn’t take a list, and had one heck of a time shopping. We never go to Walmart without a list, and probably won’t again. We had a great time, but I was unable to go to Church and spent Sunday and most of Monday in bed. The high point (yeah right) of the day was getting home and finding that all the house keys were locked in the house. Thankfully, Bev has one, so we didn’t have to break in our own house. At least this time, Redeye locked them in. Usually, I am the one that locks them in. I am going get a key made for each car and on for Diane, and then, maybe, we won’t get locked out. Only I am klutsy enough to get a blister on their pinkie while putting nails on. The glue was very hot. Our ever-working hard employee, Devin Hayn, went on a

three day float trip over the weekend. He, truly, deserves a break. He mows seven lawns, including ours, Summit Grove cemetery, and works four days for the Village. He is one hard working young man, and we will miss him nex year. He is graduating next spring, and will be working a real job. He and Redeye are doing a great job keeping the mowing done, and keeping the town looking great. I haven’t felt like decorating the yard for the Fourth, and Redeye has been too busy. Hopefully, we will get something up. Bev, T, and Xander attnded the burial of his Mom, Leta’s, ashes last Saturday. Bev said it was a very nice service. Later the family enjoyed a potluck for lunch. And how was your week???

We had a fantastic time this past weekend. Our service on Sunday morning was a sweet time of worship and our Sunday evening service with David Ring was fantastic!! We had well over 20 visitors to come join us for this special time. Our next step on the summer of possibilities in impossibilities is Vacation Bible School, which is two weeks away! We certainly want to invite all the kids between the ages of 3-18 to come join us for a week of fun and adventures. Our theme this year is built around surfing: “Catch the Wave.” It begins on July 14-18 at 6:30 p.m. each night. We also will be having a special closing service on Sunday morning at 10:30 a.m. followed by lunch for everyone. For more information, call 217-734-9012. Have I ever told you that being a parent is an adventure? Most parents, I think, would agree with me. Being a parent, you run through a gamut of emotions. There is joy, laughter, tears, frustrations, and horror. There, I said it! I refuse to take it back. I have seen movies about parenthood that has been classified as comedy, I have seen them classified as drama, I have seen them classified as action, but I have never seen one classified as horror. I guess I must script one. Before you turn the page or find a different article to read, let me tell you, dear reader, why I am saying

these things. Each morning, when I get up, I kiss my children on the forehead and tell them I love them, I then head to my study to spend time in devotions and prayers and answer any emails that need answering. It is usually takes anywhere between 1-2 hours. Once I am done, I go to the couch to spend some time with my family. The particular day that I am telling you about was on a Thursday, a day usually devoted to class work. The week had been a busy one and I needed my father-children time so I granted myself an excuse from all “required” school and work activities and made that day family day. My oldest of the twins and my son were deep in a pile of toys in the playroom. My middle child was nowhere to be found. As I searched through the house, I found her. She was parked on the couch, her lips puckered, her face buried deep into the head of the super hero doll. She was kissing!!!! My four-year-old daughter was kissing in double lip lock fashion a male super hero doll square on the lips. A loud shriek filled the room. It came from me. I was not ready to see my four year old already thinking about kissing! My wife frantically entered the room and asked what was wrong. When I told her what I found, her eyes were opened as wide as sau-

cers!! Her hands rushed to cover her mouth as though she was attempting to hold back any scream that would erupt. Then I heard her chuckled! I looked down at my daughter. Her eyes sparkled. Her lips curled into a smile. A strand of her soft thin brown hair streaked down to her left eye. I brushed it back. “Where do you see that?” She pointed at her mother and I. She learned it from us. She watches my wife and me. As a couple and as parents, my children are learning from us. I realized that as a father I am teaching my daughters what kind of man to find and I am teaching my son what kind of man to be. Oh the weight of those two worlds on my shoulders. With God’s help, I am going to do my best in showing them. I cannot do it alone. I need a greater power. I returned to my study and knelt down in prayer…and to polish up my gun. Who knows how much longer it will be before boys start beckoning for my daughters’ hands. Thirty-five years is a long time, but the first four-years seemed like only a week. You shall teach them diligently to your sons and shall talk of them when you sit in your house and when you walk by the way and when you lie down and when you rise up. (Deuteronomy 6:7)

Heart Gifts Helen Steiner Rice It’s not the things that can be bought That are life’s richest treasure, It’s just the little “heart gifts” That money cannot measure… A cheerful smile, a friendly word, A sympathetic nod, Are priceless little treasures From the storehouse of our God… They are the things that cannot be bought With silver or with gold, For thoughtfulness and kindness And love are never sold… They are the priceless things in life For which no one can pay, And the giver finds rich recompense In giving them away.

OBITUARIES SUHlING Jeanette was born in Newberg, Ore. on May 1, 1919. She was God’s gift to Walter C. Klein, Sr. and Olga Marie (Haugen) Klein. Jeanette was reborn as a child of God by the sacrament of Holy Baptism on July 27, 1919 at Immanuel Lutheran Church in Portland, Ore., by the hand of Rev. H.C. Ebeling. Throughout her life she rejoiced in the gracious promise, “Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved.” (Mark 16:16) On April 9, 1933, (Palm Sunday) at Holy Cross Evangelical Lutheran Church in Collinsville, she publicly confessed her baptismal faith in the Church’s Rite of Confirmation, having been taught the basics of the Christian faith by the Rev. Theodore Roschke. For the first of many times, she received the Lord’s Supper, about which the Lord Jesus Christ declared, “ Whoever eats My flesh and drinks My blood has eternal life, and will raise him up at the last day,” (John 6:54). Her Confirmation Memory Verse was John 15:5. On Aug. 15, 1943, Jeanette was joined in Christian marriage to Kermit Suhling by the Rev. Karl Baumgardt at St. John’s Lutheran Church in Kampsville. She remained his loving wife until his death Feb. 13, 2002. Holy Scripture says this: “A wife of noble character who can find? She is worth far more than rubies. Her husband has full confidence in her and lacks nothing of value. She brings him good, not harm, all the days of her life… Charm is deceptive and beauty is fleeting; but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised.” (Proverbs 31:10-12,30) Jeanette and Kermit’s union was blessed by God with three children, Cheryl, Harvey, and Karl, all of whom, along with their respective spouses, John, Peggy, and Angie, survive their mother. Jeanette was a Special Education teacher at Hardin Grade School and Calhoun High School in Hardin for many years. She was always active in her church, serving with the Ladies’ Aid, Altar Guild, and the Lutheran Women’s Missionary League. She also taught Sunday school and Vacation Bible School, along with serving in the church as a quilter. She lived that word of scripture which says, “And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him.” (Colossians 3:17) In faithfulness to His declaration, “Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of His saints,” (psalm 116:15)

Wednesday, July 2, 2014

God was pleased to receive Jeanette’s soul into heaven on Epiphany Eve, Jan. 5. Her life in Christ was celebrated with a funeral service at Faith Lutheran Church in Georgetown, Texas, on Jan. 10. A second memorial service will be held at St. John’s Lutheran Church in Kampsville, on Sat. July 12 at 11 a.m. with Rev. William Schmidt officiating. Her earthly remains will be laid to rest the following day in Sligo, Mo. to await in peace the resurrection of all flesh at the final coming of Christ. In addition to her children and children-in-law, Jeanette is survived by her two sisters, Viola Marshall and Marie Lanius; her grandchildren and grandchildren-in-law; Tina and Joe Hamilton, Jon and Julissa Selle, Juli and Ryan Richter, Tami and Chris MacDonald, Dawn and Terry Stumpf, Bill and Nancy Suhling, Jennifer Suhling, Erica Suhling, and Jessica Suhling; along with 16 great-grandchildren, nine nieces, seven nephews, and many friends. Jeanette was preceded in death by her parents; her husband; her brother and sister –in-law, Walter C. and Edna Klein, Jr.; by her sister –in-law and brother-in-law, Dorothy and Bill Haynes; grandson, Eric Christopher Suhling; three brothers-in-laws, Tom Mortland, John Marshall, and John Lanius; niece and nephew-in-law, Maragret and Joe Sparks; and niece, Peggy Lanius. To all who mourn, Jesus said, “I tell you the truth, a time is coming and has now come when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God, and those who hear will live.” (John 5:28) In thanksgiving to God for the eternal salvation won for Jeanette and all believers by the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ the family requests that memorial gifts be given to: St. John Lutheran Church, 316 St. Louis Ave., Kampsville, IL 62053

IDNR urges public to leave fireworks displays to those who are licensed, trained The Illinois Department of Natural Resources (IDNR) is reminding organizations and individuals sponsoring fireworks displays in Illinois to be sure their fireworks vendor has the required state licenses and certificates issued by the IDNR prior to their fireworks show. The Illinois Explosives Act requires that anyone who purchases, possesses, uses, transfers, stores or disposes of explosives, including display fireworks, must have an explosives license and explosives storage certificate issued by the IDNR. Licensing and storage requirements administered by the IDNR do not apply to consumer or personal fireworks (classified as 1.4 explosives) such as roman candles, bottle rockets or firecrackers.

Illinois Conservation police Officer Trainee exam offered July 14-17 The Illinois Department of Natural Resources Conservation Police Office of Law Enforcement is seeking qualified applicants to take the written exam for Conservation Police Officer Trainee. The exam will be offered at several Central Management Services (CMS) testing centers throughout the state on July 14 - 17 from 8:00 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. each day. Tests will be administered on a walk-in basis at Springfield and Chicago testing centers. The Marion, Champaign and Rockford testing centers are by appointment only. Applicants should be aware of the following information: n If applicants have not already submitted a CMS-100 application to CMS Examining (or applied online), they should be prepared to bring a completed application with them to the assessment center on the day that they anticipate testing. Applicants should not be directed to submit their applications to CMS Examining as our grading section will not be doing pre-qualification screening of applicants. n Applicants seeking a waiver of the college degree requirement under PA 97-0948 and who have not yet established their status with the CMS Veterans Outreach Program should be encouraged to submit their military documentation as soon as possible prior to testing to CMS-VOP to establish their status. CMS will not be providing the “grace period” after testing to allow veterans to establish their medal standing with CMS-VOP as has been done on recent administrations of the CPOT exam. They can still bring their certified military documentation with them when they test but it is to their advantage to establish their status as soon as possible with CMS-VOP. Questions about establishing veteran status should be directed to CMS-VOP at (217) 524-1313. For more information about career opportunities with the Illinois Conservation Police, please visit: http://dnr.state.il.us/ law3/career.htm or call Lt. Curt Lewis in the Conservation Police Training Section at (217) 7858407.

Kindness or Cruelty? Ultimately, there are only two basic motives which animate us, kindness or cruelty. On the side of kindness is everything that unites and uplifts us: the kind or encouraging word, the helping or healing hand, the invitation to join the group and to be a part of the great family of God. On the side of cruelty is everything that divides and debases: the mean or cutting remark, the discouraging word, the clenched fist and the hand which pushes away, the barrier to inclusion which says you aren't welcome here. There is love and there is strife. Love unites; strife divides. Love is kind; strife is cruel. There is no third option here. You cannot be indifferent to the choice between kindness and cruelty. We should pray that we steadfastly choose to be on the side of kindness.

I expect to pass through this world but once. Any good therefore that I can do, or any kindness that I can show to any fellow creature, let me do it now. Let me not defer it or neglect it, for I shall not pass this way again.

“Spectacular, professional fireworks displays are the hallmark of Fourth of July celebrations in many communities statewide,” said IDNR Director Marc Miller. “But these fireworks can be dangerous if not stored and handled properly. Leave these professional displays to those that are licensed and certified by the state to handle these types of explosives.” The Illinois Explosives Act is administered by the IDNR Office of Mines and Minerals Blasting and Explosives Unit. This unit is staffed by trained and experienced blasting specialists located throughout Illinois. In addition to requiring comprehensive licensing, training and examination for individuals, the law requires that unattended display fireworks and explosives

must be stored in an explosives magazine, storage facility or container that is inspected and certified by IDNR. IDNR currently has 1,656 individuals licensed for the use of explosives in Illinois, of which 872 are for the use of display fireworks. There are 791 certified explosives storage magazines in Illinois, which contain nearly 90 million pounds of explosives. Of those storage magazines, 132 are certified specifically for the storage of display fireworks. Anyone possessing, using, transferring or purchasing display fireworks without a valid IDNR individual explosives license or storage certificate is violating Illinois law and could incur penalties. A violation of the Illinois Explosives Act can be a Class 3 felony, with a

maximum penalty of five years in prison and a $10,000 fine. In addition, the IDNR can assess administrative fines for violations involving display fireworks and other explosives. Emergency responders are reminded to contact IDNR immediately with reports of personal injury or property damage resulting from the use of explosives, including display fireworks. For more information on the IDNR explosives regulatory program log on to http://www. d n r. i l l i n o i s . g o v / m i n e s / P a g e s / Explosives,HandlingStorage.aspx. To report an explosives incident or accident, contact the IDNR Office of Mines and Minerals Mine Safety and Training Explosives Unit at 217-782-9976.

Hardin, Illinois

Exchange students seeking St. Norbert School host families in Hardin Visiting students, ages 15-18, from around the world including Germany, Spain, Switzerland, and Thailand are seeking host families in and around Hardin for the upcoming 2014-2015 academic school year. Host families are needed for the fall semester and full school year. Host families (traditional families, singles, empty nesters, etc.) serve as mentors and a home base for their student. Visiting students participate as active members of the family and integrate into their host’s daily routines and traditions just like any other family member. Hosting an international student is a great way to explore a new culture and promote a sense of lifelong learning and adventure. “Every year Illinois plays host to hundreds of talented, top-of-their-class students with the lifelong dream of studying in America,” reports Joseph Bissell, iE-USA’s Regional Director. Joe ads, “Our state’s hospitality and prominent focus on academic enrichment makes it an ideal environment to develop cultural exchange and promote internation-

al diplomacy on a local level.” iEUSA, the sponsoring program, is a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting education and understanding through intercultural and academic exchange. iE-USA is certified by the Council on Standards for International Educational Travel and strictly adheres to all U.S. Department of State Student Exchange Program regulations and guidelines. Exchange student participants undergo an extensive application and orientation process in their home country prior to being accepted into iE-USA’s program. Each student is responsible for his/her own spending money and full health insurance coverage. To learn more about how to make the dream come true for an international high school exchange student, contact Illinois representative Emily Rolin at e.rolin@international-experience.net 269-6254662 . Host families may review prospective student profiles online at iE-USA.org. Families interested in hosting this year must apply by August 15.

Heffington, who is one of eight high school science teachers on the team, was invited to apply for the position and was awarded the job in early March. She recently completed the first round of meetings and drafts of the curriculum. The team met at the Brookfield Zoo in mid-March and in early April spent another three-day working weekend at the Morton Arboretum. The May meeting took place at the Argonne National Laboratory site, famous

for the completion of the Manhattan Project. The summer meetings included four-day work weeks, with the first at the ISBE headquarters in Springfield and the second in the Lisle/ Naperville area. The team has been tasked with the job of writing curriculum that is aligned with the Next Generation Science Standards as put forth by the ISBE. Heffington has been working with the NGSS through the ROE, the curriculum team at North Greene High School, and graduate classes at SIUE. Rachael Heffington resides in rural Batchtown with her husband, Mark, and her children, Andrew and Megan. She has been teaching at North Greene for 12 years.

Cost-share assistance available for organic agricultural products Growers and handlers of organic agricultural products now can recover part of the cost of their USDA certification. The Illinois Department of Agriculture has been notified it will receive $271,800 to reimburse producers and handlers who either obtain or renew their certification in the federal fiscal year that ends Sept. 30. The reimbursement covers 75 percent of certification costs, up to a maximum of $750. “These funds will help growers who want to enter the rapidly-growing market for organic products,” Agriculture Director Bob Flider said. “However, they’re available on a first-come, first-served basis, so I encourage those interested to contact us as soon as possible.” The funds will be distributed to eligible recipients in the order their application packets are returned. Operations must apply to the participating agency in the state in which they are located. In Illinois, that agency is the Illinois Department of Agriculture. Entities operating in more than one state should apply in the state where their federal tax returns are filed. Producers may

apply for reimbursement even if they have received payments through the program in previous years. However, they only may apply for reimbursements once per certificate or certification category per year, as verified by certification documentation. Operations must possess current USDA organic certification to be eligible to receive reimbursement. This means they either must have successfully received their initial USDA organic certification from a USDAaccredited certifying agent, or must have incurred expenses related to the renewal of their USDA organic certification from a USDA-accredited certifying agent between Oct. 1, 2013 and Sept. 30, 2014. Operations with a suspended or revoked certification are ineligible to participate in the program. The assistance comes from the USDA’s National Organic Certification Cost-Share Program. Applications will be accepted through Nov. 1. Application forms and additional details can be obtained by calling the department’s Bureau of Marketing, Promotion and Grants at 217- 5249129 or visiting its website at www. agr.state.il.us.

The Fourth of July has been a federal holiday since 1941. Though that may seem like a long time for the country to wait to celebrate the independence it declared in 1776, the tradition of the Fourth of July, often referred to as Independence Day, dates back to the dawn of the American Revolution and the adoption of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776. Since then, July 4th has been recognized as the dawn of American independence, and celebrations that included fireworks and parades can be traced back to the 18th century. On July 4, 1777, the city of Philadelphia, which would become the first capital of the United States of America, held the first annual commemoration of American independence, and exactly one year later George Washington ordered that all of his soldiers be offered double rations of rum to commemorate the anniversary. In 1781, Massachusetts was the first state to make July 4th an official state holiday, and the day was actually declared a federal holiday by the U.S. Congress in 1870. However, that declaration did

Baalman will be one of four seniors suiting up for the team next season and Calhoun has graduated just two players off last season's squad, which finished 18-9 and won its first regional championship since the 2006-07 season. The Warriors were the No. 3 seed at the Bunker Hill Class 1A Regional, but upset No. 2 Carrollton and No. 1 Madison — ranked No. 7 in the season's final Associated Press Class 1A state rankings — to win the title before bowing out in the Okawville Sectional semifinals. selliott@campbellpublications.net

The CEC Jamboree is coming

Schwab retires from IVEDC

The CEC Jamboree is July 19, beginning at 7 p.m. This year no meal will be served; however, concessions will be available. The show will still be the same with wonderful music and hilarious comedy!! Ticket prices are $15 each. Get in touch with Sarah Kinder 618-883-2089 to reserve your seat. People have been asking about the Jamboree since the last one so don’t delay, reservations will go quickly. This is the main fundraiser that makes it possible for the CEC to afford its spring musical so they are very appreciative to those who support the CEC in any way.

Frank Schwab will retire from the Illinois Valley Economic Development Corporation (IVEDC) in midJuly. His 40-year career with the agency began with the position of planner; he then served as the assistant director for five years before being seated as executive director in 1979. Schwab has been an outspoken advocate for the agency’s programs, both at the local and state level.

How to properly check your deck for problems

Homeowners should periodically inspect their decks for signs of wear and tear to ensure their safety and that of their friends and family members.

of the deck over time. n Inspect the ledger board. The ledger board is a weight-bearing board that connects the deck to the house. Over time, the gap between the ledger board and the house may widen. In such instances, simply tighten the bolts. When inspecting the ledger board, examine the flashing that surrounds it. Flashing prevents the buildup of moisture that causes rot, and when there is an issue with the flashing, it's often noticeable because mud and debris has become stuck between the flashing and the exterior wall of the home. Clear any such debris and then seal the overlapping areas with caulk. n Inspect support posts. Support posts should be firmly connected to the beams below the deck floor. Loose connections between the support posts and beams should be tightened, and replace any bolts that need replacing. n Inspect the surface. The elements can be harsh on a deck, so inspect the surface to ensure there is no buildup of mildew, power washing any areas where mildew has started to accumu-

Planting a garden can add aesthetic appeal and functionality to a property. Vegetable gardens can transform landscapes while putting healthy and homegrown food on the table. By growing their own fruits and vegetables, homeowners have total control over what foods can be harvested, and they ensure sustain- IL 113 E.can Main St.,Grafton, able, safe practices are used to (618)786-2036 care for the plants. www.theilpros.com Choose a location Wendisome Mielke, Spend timeManaging examiningBroker (618)535-2930 your landscape. Vegetables generally need ample warmth and sunlight to thrive, so find an area of the yard that gets several hours of direct sunlight per day. Decide what to plant When deciding what to plant, consider what you eat and how much produce the household consumes, then choose vegetables that fit with your diet. Some vegetables, like peppers, tomatoes, eggplant, and squash, produce throughout the season. Others, such as carrots and corn, produce one crop and then expire. Plan accordingly when you purchase plants or seeds, as you want enough food but not so much that it will go to waste. Know when to plant Many of the foods grown in vegetable gardens, including tomatoes and peppers, are summer vegetables, which means they reach peak ripeness after the height of the summer season. Pumpkins, brussel sprouts and peas are planted to be harvested later on. These plants may be put in the ground a little later than others. Vegetable gardens can become central components of outdoor home landscapes. Not only do gardens add aesthetic appeal, but also they produce fresh fruits and vegetables to enjoy throughout the season.

Summer party season is in full swing, and that means scores of people will be relaxing with family and friends on their decks. But such gatherings are only as fun as they are safe, and responsible hosts and homeowners must inspect their decks for signs of trouble before hosting their first summer soiree. Deck inspections can be relatively simple, especially for those homeowners whose decks are newly built or recently refurbished. But even a new deck should be inspected at the start of the season to ensure the safety of all who will be spending time on the deck in the months to come. The following are a few tips to help homeowners spot trouble spots on their decks. n Check the wood. Split or decaying wood is a trouble spot that will need to be addressed. Such wood may feel spongy or break off without splintering, and those things are indicative of rot. Another sign of trouble to look for with regard to the wood is whether or not it has any holes. Holes may be a symptom of infect infestation, which can compromise the safety

late. Different deck materials may need certain types of cleaners, so consult with the company who built your deck or speak to a local home improvement specialist to determine which type of cleaning solution your deck needs. Once the deck has been power washed, allow it to dry before applying any additional layers of finish. n Ensure railings are not loose. Grasp and shake the deck's railings to ensure none are loose and all provide ample support for anyone who will be enjoying the deck. Balusters are the short pillars or columns that run perpendicular to the railings and the walking surface of the deck, and these should also be checked to ensure they are not loose. Youngsters may lean against the balusters when relaxing on the deck, so it's imperative that none are loose. Deck inspections ideally should be performed in spring before homeowners host their first gettogether, and if any problems are discovered, everyone should steer clear of the deck until those issues have been addressed.
