Unity in heartwrenching tragedy Community comes together in search, then in sorrow By CYNTHIA HAGGITT Calhoun News-Herald

ust as they had come together to search that night for a missing girl, the people of Calhoun County are now united in their grief. From late Saturday evening until early Sunday, dozens of Calhoun County residents – law enforcement officers, volunteer firefighters, EMS and many others who simply wanted to help – combed a wooded area near North Mississippi River Road and Ash Bridge Hollow Road for a toddler who had walked away from home. In the end, their worst fears were real-

ized: The 1-½-year-old girl was found unresponsive in a pond approximately 250 yards from her house. Her death was pronounced on scene. According to Calhoun County Sheriff Bill Heffington, who is also the county coroner, the toddler had been staying with her grandparents when another child in the home apparently opened a door and let her out. When the grandparents realized the girl was missing, they called the police. Besides the searchers on foot, an Illinois State Police plane equipped with an infrared camera scanned the area throughout the night. “It’s a brushy area,” Heffington said. “And I mean, we had everybody scattered out walking through all the weeds and the

timber and the creek banks – everything to try to find this little girl.” Service dogs were also brought to the scene, leading the searchers through brush toward the pond, but the initial search proved ineffective. “We finally called it off,” Heffington said. “I said, ‘Why don’t we just wait till daylight and we’ll regroup. Why don’t we just go home, get some coffee or whatever, and we’ll just come back when it gets daylight.” Yet, some volunteers continued looking, including the one who found the girl lying face-down in the pond. At that point, the work changed from searching to handling a difficult situation, Heffington said. “The biggest thing is keeping the family calm, keeping them back from seeing, because you don’t know what it’s going to

present,” he said. Heffington said that as much as he hopes for closure for the family, an investigation into the girl’s death is ongoing. He also stressed his gratitude to all of those who turned out in the night to help. “I’ve got to take my hat off to all the volunteers, because, I mean, we had a ton of people there,” Heffington said. “I would like to thank all the fire departments, police officers and the volunteers for the help – even though their findings weren’t what the family and others involved in the search had hoped for.” Savannah Klass, one of the girl’s aunts, has started a GoFundMe page in the hopes of helping the family pay for the funeral. Within 48 hours, the fundraiser had garnered $5,520, quickly exceeding the requested $5,000 and there is still 14 days left until the end.

OPINION

Hardin, Illinois

Is it Safe to Vaccinate the Kids? By BILL HOAGLAND I have written a prior column on the issue of whether it is safe to get teenagers vaccinated for COVID 19. The jest of the column was that each of us as parents or grandparents owe it to our families to educate ourselves as best we can about the safety of the COVID 19 vaccines before making that difficult decision. Let’s face it: this is an evolving issue and we all need to continue to stay current with the science as we cope with this pandemic, which is not over by any means. I subscribe to the New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM), one of the premier medical journals in the world; it is a reliable source for medical information, particularly on issues involving COVID 19. In the July 15 issue, there is an article that specifically addresses the issue of whether these vaccines are safe for children under the age of 16. As far as I can tell, this is the first time this issue has been addressed in NEJM; it will be summarized here to help others who are as confused as I have been about the safety of these vaccines for children. In terms of disclosures, I should mention that Annie and I are in favor of getting vaccines as a general principle.In fact, Annie comes from a family of medical professionals. Her dad was a wellknown doctor in the Alton area who, when the polio vaccine first became available in the 1950’s, held a news conference as he vaccinated his own daughters (including Annie) as the first recipients in Alton so as to convince everyone that their children needed to get this vaccine. Eventually, all children in the US were vaccinated and polio was eradicated in the US. That vaccination campaign turned out to be a complete success in the US. While the Pfizer, Moderna and Johnson & John-

son vaccines for COVID 19 are all approved on an emergency basis for most people over 16 years of age, the Pfizer vaccine is the only one that has been officially approved on an emergency basis for children between the ages of 12 and 15. This approval came following the conclusion of the three-phase testing done on the Pfizer vaccine during the time period from October 15, 2020 through January 12, 2021 specifically on children between the ages of 12 and 15. The July 15 article in the NEJM summarizes the results of that testing. 2260 adolescents in the 12 to 15 age group were involved in these tests, with 1131 receiving the Pfizer vaccine and 1129 receiving the placebo. Those receiving the vaccine were given two doses, 21 days apart. An attempt was made to include racial and ethnic diversities within those who were tested. All testing for this group was done within the US. As to those receiving the vaccine, roughly 85% reported injection site pain; 65% reported some fatigue; and 60% reported some headache. There were no “serious” adverse reactions and few “severe” reactions, and in any event, these side effects tended to resolve themselves within a day or two. There were no blood clotting issues, hypersensitivity events and no vaccine-related allergic reactions. More importantly, as to those participants receiving the vaccine and who had no prior evidence of infection, there were no COVID 19 cases as of seven days after the second shot. As to those receiving the placebo, 16 participants developed COVID

19 during the same time period. This means that as to these adolescents receiving the vaccine, the vaccine was 100 % effective. In fact, those in the 12 to 15 age group demonstrated a greater immune response than those in the 16 to 25 age group. The medical personnel drafting the report felt the vaccination of children between 12 and 15 is to be recommended, not only because it appears to be effective as to the virus, but also because these vaccinations will allow these children “to reintegrate into society and resume in-person learning safely which is especially important…given the severe mental health effects of the pandemic… on this group.” Admittedly, the sample group involved in this test was relatively small compared to the roughly 30,000 participants in the original Pfizer trial for adults. And these results are only as of one month after the second shot. But the fact is that until now, we were assuming children were not likely to contract this virus and yet, as of early August, it appears that more and more children are becoming symptomatic—all the more reason to seriously consider getting your children vaccinated. ––––––––––––––––––– Q Bill Hoagland has practiced law in Alton for more than 50 years, but he has spent more than 70 years hunting, fishing and generally being in the great outdoors.

I love making pies, and there are a couple tips for making good pie crust. First, you need really cold water, so place a couple ice cubes into your water to get it well chilled. Also, I recommend you do not dump in all the water at once. Add a little at a time until you have the right consistency. But be sure to not overwork the crust. Another suggestion is one I use every time, if you are making a fruit pie, after placing the pie crust into the pie shell, sprinkle on a little cornstarch EHIRUH DGGLQJ WKH IUXLW ¿OOLQJ It helps keep the bottom crust from getting too soggy. I do this even when the fruit has cornstarch or tapioca already in it as a thickener.

Outdoor Truths: Gary Miller

Reminiscing on youth fishing My fishing experiences as a youth were either alone or with the gang that made up Ford’s Woods. What I learned about fishing came from the same sources. I can remember as a youth the day I was bit by the “bass” bug. Even though I had never been to the lake, the levee was known to be full of largemouth. And even though it was still in my small town, for a kid who either walked or rode his bicycle everywhere, it was a little further away than I was used to going. One summer morning however, we made the trip to the levee for my first attempt at catching a bass. I don’t exactly remember how I got the information, but I would be using as bait a red plastic worm. That day marked two distinct changes that, to this day, still affect my fishing. First, it brought a love for that particular game fish and second it made me learn to love the plastic worm. I caught five

(Continued from A1) Q Music will be at 6 p.m. from Calhoun County Accident. Q Fireworks will close out the event and will start at dusk. ”Any proceeds we make will go back into the celebration for next year, however that’s really not our main focus, it’s about the community involvement and getting everyone in our community-

bass on that first day. When I did start going to the lake as an older youth and a young adult, I can never remember not throwing a plastic worm. In fact, that’s the only bait I ever used. While others were cranking and spinning, I was patiently and methodically throwing that worm. It is still my favorite bait today. Much like that infamous first day of bass fishing there are other markers in all of our lives that changed us forever. Some of those markers were happy moments and some were unhappy and even tragic. But all of them were and are significant. They are significant because when you put them together over the years, you see a pattern and piece of a puzzle. It’s a pattern of how God has worked in our lives even when we didn’t realize he was there. It’s a piece of a puzzle because our lives would not be complete without those markers. Even something as simple as a first fishing trip can become a

story you are reading right n o w . Nothing is insignificant to God. And no pain is wasted. If we let him, he will take every moment of our lives, no matter how good or bad, and use it to make us and the ones around us better. For a Christian it is his promise and that is one more reason to make sure you are. It’s not too late to allow God to make a message from the markers and messes in your life. ––––––––––––––––––– Q Gary has three books that are compilations of the articles he has written for nearly 15 years.

The August weather is wet and hot. We are enjoying the peaches that are ripe now. It’s the crop that makes us well known in the area. The St. Mary’s Church chicken dinner was really tasty. The drive thru was efficient. Many of the visitors ate their dinner on the grounds and had drinks and a few games. The children played games at the picnic and had a good time. Our sympathy goes out to the family of Sandy Kiel to her husband Bob, and their three sons, Craig, (LeAnn) Kevin, (Tammy), and Eric, (Jeanene), and the family. A funeral mass was held at St. Mary’s in Brussels with Father Don Roberts officiating. Sandy was a homemaker, and enjoyed being with her husband Bob, their kids and grandkids. She will be missed by friends and neighbors. Our condolences go out to the family of Jeff Oetken, Jeff and wife JoAnn were a loving pair that enjoyed doing things together at home, and outdoors. Jeff will be greatly missed by family and friends. Bernie and Robin Hillen recently spent a few days at Montauk State Park and enjoyed the fishing and beauty of the landscape.

Claire Bick, daughter of Dave and Rachel Bick, celebrated her 6 birthday on August 6, her golden year 6-6; Claire and brother Levi travelled with their parents to Denver, Colorado where they visited Grandmother Gee Gee. Grandparents, Lindy and Martha Bick, plan a birthday get together soon to honor Claire’s birthday. Have a wonderful year Claire. Bill Titus is recuperating at home after a recent stay at Jerseyville Hospital. We wish Bill good health. St. Mary’s Catholic Church in Westwood will have their annual church picnic Saturday and Sunday August 14 and15. The chicken and beef dinner will be served in the church basement. The usual games and stands will be on the grounds. Pat and Vera Droege had visitors from Indiana last week. Divina and daughter Davinta were home, and enjoyed visiting relatives and seeing the sites while here. Virgil and Angeline Klaas and family visited Montauk State Park last week. They enjoyed fishing and fish frys together. They enjoyed the food and the outdoor life. Ellen Klocke celebrated her 95 birthday at home

August 9 with a party given by her kids and relatives in her honor. A fish fry with a carry in meal was enjoyed by relatives, neighbors, and friends. Everyone enjoyed being with Ellen on her special day. Happy Birthday Ellen. Have a great year. Our thoughts and prayers are with the family of one year old Kya Weatherholt who passed away Saturday night. She will be sadly missed. ––––––––––––––––––– Tell Them Today Is there someone needing a word of cheer Who is living with a heavy heart? Perhaps only you have the words he needs… Words of comfort just can impart. We know there are those who want to hear Their burdens need not be endured alone.

The Batchtown and Brussels Woman’s Club officers met on Thursday afternoon to work on plans for their upcoming Health and Safety Fair that will be held on September 18 from 9 to 11 AM at the Brussels Heritage Park. With matching funds from Modern Woodmen they will be helping the Calhoun Co. Search and Rescue Team. A wonderful raffle ticket is being sold with 57 great prizes on it. Tickets are available at the Bank of Kampsville, Bank of Calhoun Co and Brussels Red and White all in Brussels or you may purchase them from any club member or David Pohlman and other members of the Search and Rescue Team. Vendors will be present and I will update you later on who they are. Please mark your calendar and come join us for a couple hours. My surprise visitor on Friday afternoon was a former Pastor from St. Matthew Church, Rev. Bruce Scarbeary of Roanoke, IL. He was in the area to pick up a trailer load of Calhoun peaches his church Youth Group was selling. So nice to see him and photos of his family and I also shared photos of our family. We had a lot to talk about, hard to believe they had been gone from St. Matthew’s for 23 years. I know he also visited other former parishioners in the area while here. Lila Logeman- Lind celebrated her 83rd Birthday on Saturday at the home of her son and daughter-in-law Darren and Shelly Pohlman and their daughter Sarah in Hardin. Lila is a resident of the Calhoun Care Center and had not seen any family or friends the past one and a half years due to the Covid. Her son Daryl and wife Tammy and their son Conner of Waverly, IA were present. Son Duane Pohlman and family in California were not able to make it. Many relatives and friends were in attendance. From this area were Dorothy Meyer and Angeline Klaas former classmates, also Teresa Haug, Susan Haug-Kinder, Jerry and Judy Zahrli, Jeannie and Abby Johnes, Carl and Pauline Eschbach and Marietta Nolte. They all had an enjoyable afternoon together. Many more happy

ones Lila! While here Daryl and Tammy Pohlman treated their son Conner to a St. Louis Cardinals baseball game at Busch Stadium on his birthday last Thursday. Visitors to George and Yvonne Baecht on Saturday was their former landlord Celeste Sebacher, her daughter Carol Prost, granddaughter Chelsie and son Colton from St. Charles, MO. They spent the day with the Baecht’s enjoying lunch and supper, while catching up on the past 5 years since they were together. Chelsie and Colton also enjoyed some fishing at the Baecht’s pond while here. Later in the day LeAnn Baecht and son Conner stopped by for a brief visit enroute home to Brookline, MO. The Annual Kirn Family reunion was held on Saturday at the Brussels American Legion Hall. Lots of good food, visiting and photo taking was enjoyed by all present. The St. Mary’s Picnic Drive-thru Chicken Dinner in Brussels on Sunday was a huge success. They had planned for 1,000 people and were sold out by 2 PM. My visitors and luncheon guests on Monday, August 9, was my daughter Shelly Scherer of Wright City and my great grandchildren Noah and Addy Keppler of Wentzville. We had a wonderful visit together. Hard to believe how fast summer flew by and it won’t be long school will be starting. Chad and Melissa Nolte and family enjoyed the weekend at Montuak State Park in Salem, MO.

On Forming Good Habits Rull Brothers Hardin, IL

Jersey Community Hospital 618-498-6402 www.jch.org

“Have nothing to do with godless myths and old wives’ tales; rather, train yourself to be godly. For physical training is of some value, but godliness has value for all things, holding promise for both the present life and the life to come.” 1 Timothy 4:7-8

here is not much to improve on in Aristotle’s treatment of habits and how to develop a virtuous character. Aristotle said that we become virtuous by acting virtuously over long periods of time, and this creates a fixed disposition to act virtuously. Thus, it is important to develop good habits in our youth. The Stoic philosopher Epictetus put it this way: “Generally then, if you want to make something a habit, practice it; and if you do not want to make it a habit, do not do it, but get in the habit of doing something else. It is the same in relation to things of the mind.” This may seem obvious, but then why do we have bad habits? Because we keep doing the things we wish we could stop doing and we keep thinking the thoughts we wish we could stop thinking. It requires effort to

change our habits, and even more so when they are longstanding. For example, suppose that we are in the habit of letting our minds wander when listening to others and we want to become a better listener. Two things that might help us here are to not interrupt the person speaking and to not multi-task while listening. Many of us have developed bad habits with our phones or with social media that cause us to disregard the people who are standing in front of us in favor of the text message or post from someone we barely know. Consider working on changing one bad habit every month. – Christopher Simon

NEWS/OBITUARIES

Hardin, Illinois

Turner expands residential options for students with learning disabilities Illinois students with learning disabilities who historically would have been sent to outof-state schools will now have the opportunity of gaining an in-state education thanks to a plan backed by State Senator Doris Turner’s (D-Springfield). “We have a responsibility as a state to protect our most vulnerable residents,” Turner said. “This duty means protecting our students and putting their needs first. I hope this law meets the needs of every student in this state while ensuring them a safe learning environment.” House Bill 41 requires school districts to offer any child being placed in an out-of-state

special education residential facility the option for placement in an in-state special education residential facility. The initiative, led by the Hope School in Springfield, was spurred by a shortage of residential facilities in other states. Additionally, if the special education program of a school district is unable to meet the needs of a child and the child attends a private school or a public out-of-state school, then the child’s home district will be required to pay the cost of tuition and special education services during the regular school and summer terms and during the summer school term. The legislation was signed into law today, and has an immediate effective date.

and Eric (Jeanene) Kiel; 7 grandchildren, Ashley (Patrick) Snyders, Reese Kiel, Tanner Kiel, Nicholas Kiel, Matthew Kiel, Samuel Kiel, and Jacob Kiel; and her first great grandchild is due February 2022. In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her brother, Gary Moses. Visitation will take place on Wednesday, August 11, 2021 from 4:00 to 7:00 p.m. at Gress, Kallal, and Schaaf Funeral Home in Brussels.

NEWS/SPORTS/COURT/PUBLIC NOTICE

Coronavirus can’t cast a cloud over sold-out St. Mary’s picnic By CYNTHIA HAGGITT Calhoun News-Herald COVID restrictions might have been loosened, but mandates that remain still require creativity from those organizing fundraising events in the community. This year's event centered around a sit-down dinner with a drive-thru alternative. “This year we had to do a modified dinner because of the concerns of COVID,” Lynnette Macauley said. “We worked with what we had, and we sold out of food

already. Normally, we would have a sit-down dinner with a silent auction and a live auction, but this year, it was a drive-thru and carryout only.” Macauley said a long line of cars formed a food line along Community Avenue, and 433 dinners – chicken and other tasty treats – went through those car windows. “Altogether, they sold out between drive-thru and carryout, with more than 900 dinners,” Macauley said. On the raffle side of things, a card draw was held at 6 p.m., with giveaways includ-

ing a Traeger Grill and Solo Fire Pit. Three quilts are also being auctioned. “The winners of the raffles were Mike Wrigley,” Macaulay said. “He won the grill, and James Tapp won the Solo fire pit. The quilt auction is online and will start on Sept. 1 and run until noon on Sept. 6. The auction is to benefit the Blessed Trinity Parish Picnic Raffles. More information is on the parish Facebook page. Games to help raise money for next year’s event were also held.
