By JARAD JARMON Calhoun News-Herald It was a short-lived time back in the schools for highschoolers in the Brussels district.

The first day of school was Thursday, Aug. 20, and just a few days later, students, at least those in the high school, are back at home.

It was confirmed over the weekend that a student has tested positive for COVID-19 in the high school, and upon the recommendation of local health officials, the high school, which includes seventh and eighth grade, will be doing remote learning on a temporary basis. “I want to express my appreciation to the high school principal, Pam Long, and especially to our school nurse, Sarah Schleeper,� Brussels Superintendent Mark Martin said. “They jumped in, and they worked really hard yesterday (Sunday), and spent a whole lot of time [addressing the situation].�

It is believed to be an isolated incident at the high school. “There were some students who were in close proximity to the student during our two previous days last week, and so they need to quarantine also,� Martin said.

The plan is for high school students to strictly do remote learning for the next couple of weeks, after which, the situation will be re-examined.

This has not hindered in-person instruction at the elementary school, though. “My decision to keep elementary open today was based on a couple of things. One was that we were fairly certain that it was self-contained in the high school,� Martin said.

He noted the student did not have a connection to the elementary school or the students in that building.

The Illinois State Board of Education has stressed inperson learning whenever possible, especially in the younger grade levels, but Martin stressed the decision to keep inperson learning going at the elementary school was one that took student safety into account. “I am concerned, as you can imagine, that we keep the elementary school safe,â€? Martin said. â€œâ€ŚI feel that [inperson learning] is really important as long as it is safe.â€?

Ahead of the school year, there was one staff member who tested positive for COVID-19, but they quarantined for the appropriate time before coming back to the district.

On the first day of school, the health department assured community members that the school districts are taking the virus and the guidelines related to it seriously. “Having worked closely with the administrations, teachers, and school nurses, in both the public and private schools, we here at the Health Department have seen the dedication and concern these professionals have for the children of Calhoun,� a statement on the Calhoun Health Department Facebook page, read. “Faced with constantly changing guidelines, they have persevered and formed plans to get our children in school, and keep them safe while there. There will be frustrations, and none of us can predict what the future is going to look like. Just know that the people working in our schools, cleaning, cooking, teaching, and watching over our children, have given this their very best, and we owe them a world of gratitude and respect.�

As of Aug. 24, there were eight active COVID-19 cases in the county with 16 recovered. According to the Calhoun (See, ONLINE, A2)

Mayor’s daughter recalls father’s service Š2020

H

e was the Kampsville village clerk for six years and then its mayor for 20 more years, and in that time, former mayor Ted ‘Redeye’ Schumann made it his life’s work to leave Kampsville better than he found it. “Dad was born in Davenport, Iowa, but was a baby when grandma and grandpa moved back to Kampsville,�

Schumann’s daughter, Becky Weber, said.

Though born in Iowa, Schumann’s blood was as red as a Calhoun red delicious. Both of his parents were from Kampsville, and lived in Iowa for just a brief time.

Thankfully, they decided to move back to Calhoun County, and had they not, Kampsville would not have been blessed with the life of one of its most cherished sons.

Weber recalled with tears and laughs the years her father spent as mayor. “He gave 110 percent whether it was mowing, plowing snow– I can remember Dad was probably 86 and there was a water main break. He was right in the middle of it– in the water– at 86 years old helping to fix the water,� Weber said.

Whether Schumann realized it or not, he led by example as a community servant, a trait that many government leaders today could benefit to observe. “He knew with Kampsville being a small town, there wasn’t a lot of money, and he did a heck of a lot for free and spent a lot of money out of his own pocket,� Weber noted.

There are other lessons that Schumann taught through his example that extend well beyond getting your hands dirty. “He was always there to help anyone in need and was lenient when it came to people paying their water bill,� Weber said. “He didn’t want to turn their water off. It created a challenge because sometimes

TED SCHUMANN the bills were large, but he never wanted to see any family, especially one with kids, go without water.�

His patience with individuals paying their water bills comes from his childhood years, when he learned the meaning and value of being poor.

Weber recalled that it wasn’t until 1967 or ’68 that her grandparents had an indoor bathroom, so her dad knew well the life stripped of what we consider the bare necessities.

Even further than the lessons of his boyhood years, Schumann’s purple heart testifies to his knowledge of the price of service. “He served in Korea during the Korean War,� Weber explained. “He was driving a bulldozer while working with a crew that was building roads.

He was ambushed on the side of a mountain and got shot, but when they left Korea, the roads were better than when they got there.�

After he was honorably discharged, Schumann and his wife, Millie, lived in Jerseyville for a brief period while he worked at the Alton Vinegar Company as a truck driver, but he dreamed of returning to Kampsville, doing so to open up the Standard Fill-In Station that is now the site of Dick’s Riverside Bar and Grill.

Several years later, he’d move down to the south end of town to open up Schumann’s Conoco.

During this time, Schumann was becoming more deeply invested in the affairs of his

hometown, forging new friendships and solidifying old ones, which probably wasn’t too difficult given the fact that he had lived in Kampsville almost his entire life, even graduating in the seven-member 1947 class of Kampsville High School.

When he became mayor, the life he had been building in Kampsville would blossom into a fruitful two-decade span of humble and exemplary servient leadership that would be marked by his concern for always putting the needs of Kampsville first. “No matter what it was that went on in town– Old Settlers Days, the Fourth of July blast or whatever went on at the grade school– he was there directing traffic or setting up,� Weber shared. “He started working with the Illinois Department of Corrections and started the work camp in Pittsfield. For years they had inmates come from Pittsfield and he made sure they’d help the town clean up for whatever was going on.�

Hardin, Illinois

Sheriff’s office still seeking solutions for staff turnover

By JARAD JARMON Calhoun News-Herald It is an issue that the county has continued to struggle with, but one that the sheriff’s office and the county are determined to solve.

Recently, a couple county officials including a couple on the county board and the sheriff’s office mulled over options to address the Calhoun Sheriff’s Office issue regarding staffing.

The department is allotted four full-time dispatchers and five full-time officers. Currently, they only have three full-time dispatchers and four full-time officers. And in the place of these gaps or vacancies in the coverage, police have called on part-time help — an avenue that has difficulties in its own right.

This is not a new issue at the sheriff’s office, but one that is proving taxing on all those at the sheriff’s office including the sheriff himself.

“With [us] being short all of the time, I can’t keep working 100 hours a week, day in and day out,” Calhoun Sheriff Bill Heffington said. “It is wearing me down. It ain’t good for

my health. I am tired all of the time.”

Heffington assured the job is getting done, but it is requiring a lot of hours from current officers.

Across the sheriff’s office, there has been a need for overtime among the entire staff including Chief Deputy Greg Weishaupt — paid through those funds that would have been allocated to those vacant full-time positions.

“There is no way of getting around it to solve all of those cases we working on,” Heffington said.

Lengthy training requirements have not helped in this area, either. There are numerous trainings, done sometimes annually, officers must take part in like firearms, use of force, civil rights and search and seizure training among a host of others. Heffington stressed these trainings are not bad, and they certainly keep officers abreast of new laws and regulations, but in this tight-staff environment, it is straining local law enforcement.

“The training is good. There is nothing wrong with all of the training, but when you are

short-handed, it just gets to be an obstacle in your road when you are trying to do your job, too,” Heffington said. “You gotta do your job, but you got to do your training. It’s just like when you are trying to cook eggs on one thing, and you got eggs on the other pot. You don’t want one to burn. You gotta take care of one or the other, and we have to take care of both. It is a constant grind.”

Also too, this short staffing is opening up county officers to potential dangers.

“Then you consider officers’ safety,” Heffington said. “You get people up here nowadays that are hopped up on drugs or got guns, and you are on your own with no backup. That is why I work so many hours, just to help out the other officers so we got two people on to help out.”

But, it is not a lack of interest that is the roadblock in Calhoun.

In fact, there are currently four applicants looking to join the Calhoun force, Weishaupt said.

Because of COVID-19, though, they are unable to send them to the academies for training.

Instead, it is the financial

incentives, or lack thereof, that is making turnover a regular problem in the county.

“We train a lot of officers, but they always leave for higher pay — and insurance,” Heffington said.

And from Heffington’s perspective, retaining officers is critical, especially for a community like that of Calhoun County.

“Me and Greg; we have been there our whole life pretty much, so people know us,” Heffington said. “People in a county like this, they like to know who their officers are. And if you bring someone new in, it is always like you are dealing with strangers all of the time.”

Relationships are built when an officer is in the community for a longer period of time, and through these relationships, they are often given useful info to aid in investigations, Heffington said.

“When they can stay here long term, the community gets used to the officers and everybody knows everybody, and it helps solve a lot of problems,” he said. “Right now, without health insurance and the pay we got, it is hard to maintain

officers when they get better pay and all of the health benefits somewhere else.”

In addition, it takes time to get officers used to the area, knowing the roads and the area.

Heffington did not blame the officers that leave, but wants to, as the other county leaders do, find a solution to get them better pay and/or more importantly get them health insurance.

Until that point, it is simply hard to compete.

“Between the wages and no benefits, it is tough,” Heffington said.

“You can go to McDonald’s and make more money then you can working here being a dispatcher, in the sheriff’s office in Calhoun, and that is not right,” he later said.

It is the realities of the limited funds available in the county, though.

“Everybody is strapped,” Heffington said. “The revenue just isn’t here.”

Currently, county leaders are looking into avenues through which to fund health insurance within the department. This includes looking to see what insurance companies would

cover the sheriff’s office.

For the time being, those in county are holding the line of sorts for the community “You put up with being tired and working the extra hours because you know people like you doing it and taking care of it,” Heffington said.

On this front, Heffington was especially appreciative. He said one might be surprised how many people bring in gifts and food as tokens of appreciation to the sheriff’s office.

“The people in this community; they love their sheriff’s office,” Heffington said. “…

You’d be surprised how many people bring you cookies, they bring in pies, cobblers. They send us notes of ‘thank you.’ It makes you feel good that the community thinks about you.”

Beyond the county, the sheriff’s office is also seeing support from other counties’ law enforcement, namely the Pike County Sheriff’s Office, as they deal with this staffing problem.

“Pike County has been phenomenal,” Weishaupt said.

They also see support from Greene and Jersey sheriff’s departments.

in the person of Ted ‘Redeye’ Schumann.

His example will outlive generations of leaders after

him. Perhaps from the gleaning of his example, a few more of the good ones will come about.

Service

Online (Continued from A1) Health Department, there were two new positives that day, and one was reclassified as recovered. In total, there has been a total of 25 cases to date.

The Calhoun Health Department long with others across the state have made consistent calls to the public to follow health-safety guidelines around COVID-19.

Last week, health department officials stated on social media: “Social distancing, good and frequent handwashing, and most importantly, the wearing of masks when out in the public are the only things we can do to keep our numbers from exploding, as they have in our surrounding counties. Your mask isn’t there to protect you, although it does offer some limited protection.

Your mask is there to protect your friends and neighbors. It may be your right not to wear a mask, but we are asking that you join us in the battle to keep Calhoun safe. Please wear a mask when out in public. Someone you care about may depend on it.”

In other counties, numbers have been going up more drastically. At one point in Jersey County, the number of active cases surpassed that of recovered cases. As of Aug. 23, there were 14 new cases bringing the total number of active cases to 99. There have been a total of 228 COVID-19 positives in Jersey, with 127 recovered and two dead.

In Greene County, there were 24 active cases. In total there have been 92 positives in the county, 68 of which have since recovered.

And in Pike County, a total of 70 cases of COVID-19 have been reported to Pike County Health Department.

Thirty-three cases are active with three being hospitalized and 37 cases recovered.

(Continued from A1) her parents’ fiftieth wedding anniversary, which they celebrated in July even though it occurred in January.

“July was better for the weather. We had a celebration in July so family could be there. The inmates were in town cleaning up for the celebration and came to the anniversary party. They came through the buffet line and celebrated their anniversary with them– only in Kampsville!” Weber said with a laugh. “And here’s the deal: Everyone there didn’t think a thing about it because that was how mom and dad were.”

Weber also shared that her parents were instrumental in starting the Village of Kampsville Christmas for Kids event, something that brings tears to her eyes to recall and something she is most proud of her parents for.

“In fact, when my mom died, that was one of the memorials they had,” Weber said, fighting back tears.

“They made $3,000 to buy Christmas presents for kids that wouldn’t have had Christmas presents otherwise.”

Kampsville residents would see Redeye and Millie at the Halloween Carnival at the grade school and all the kids knew to go to them for soda because they knew that they’d have soda there for them,” Weber said. “Even in the summer, the kids always knew they could stop in and visit with Redeye, who would buy them a soda. He always, always, always loved the kids. He was a bus driver for I don’t know how many years and a basketball coach, too. The kids knew that if they needed anything to go to Redeye at the Village Hall, and he’d be there.”

But, the life of a community leader isn’t replete of

only good happenings. There was plenty of frustration to be had, and for all the good things that Weber can recall of her father, she can remember the challenging times as well.

“It wasn’t always pleasant.

They had their share of issues with disgruntled people, and there were times my sister and brother and I would think ‘How does he keep on doing it?’ But, we took it in stride because he said he was doing it for the town. He insisted that as long as he was healthy and could help the town that he was going to do it,” Weber noted.

Even now, as Redeye has announced and begun his retirement, he just doesn’t know how to quit. Or, maybe he does, but simply refuses to do so. There are still some tasks on his list that he will see though, and there’s no sense in trying to stop him.

Redeye, as Weber shares, intends to visit his son in North Carolina soon, but business keeps him villagebound for the time being. “‘I can’t do that right now, I’ve got to stay here until this FEMA is completed, and I get this money for the town’ is what he says,” Weber said.

“Even though he is no longer officially mayor, he is still working with FEMA to get money from the flood last year.”

You can’t keep the good ones down, that’s for certain.

With a lifetime of service under his belt, for his country, his family and his beloved hometown, Redeye just cannot keep still.

Good leadership is hard to come by nowadays. There are leaders everywhere, but the term “leader” doesn’t denote someone leading in the right direction. Misguidance is always an ever-present possibility. But, the people of Kampsville and even the

whole citizenry of the county have both the benchmark and the cream of the crop when it comes to leadership

Month has acted like May, but felt more like September

I can’t remember a nicer August than we’ve been having in my area.

It has acted more like May. The mornings have been nice, the rain adequate, and I’m having to mow my yard every few days. While its acted more like May, it has felt more like September. I feel rushed to get fully prepared for deer season.

I still have a field to plant and a couple of tree stands to hang before I can think about getting all my equipment together.

And then until November, I’ll watch and wait — watch my trail cameras and wait until I see a buck I want to hunt.

Sure, I may harvest a doe for a friend in need, but for me, I’ll watch and wait for that buck until closer to the rut. As many of you know, during that time, what shows up in the woods may not have been seen on a camera anytime before. The neighboring bucks will begin moving away from their home territory to look for that first doe in heat. This is when the hunting gets good.

And for me, since I only have so many days I can hunt, I don’t want to waste my time and energy on unproductive times. Sure, I love just sitting

in the woods, but I also like the hope and anticipation of a harvest.

I think everything in life works best when there is an anticipated outcome. Even doing nothing can have an anticipated outcome. It’s that rest will occur. When we do nothing without an anticipated outcome, we say we’re bored.

There’s a difference.

The fear, however, in thinking only about the outcome, is we can fail to enjoy the process. We can get so wrapped up in the results, we forget about some of the delightful details that gave us the best chance for the success we expect. Each day I make a to-do list. It is a list of outcomes I want to accomplish. But the outcomes are nothing without a plan to achieve them.

Today, what will m a k e my day unforgettable will not be all I was able to accomplish, but it will be something special, or different, or unexpected, that will turn one mundane outcome, into a memory. And memories are the things we share with others.

OBITUARY FRANK J. EWEN Frank J. Ewen, 81, passed away on Sunday August 9, 2020 at Calhoun Nursing and Rehab in Hardin.

He was born in Kampsville, IL, on January 5, 1939, the son of the late Clarence and Elizabeth (Hayn) Ewen. He married Janice Hagen on September 9, 1961 in Kampsville, IL. Frank was a lifelong farm-

er and loved to tinker in his garage.

In addition to his wife, Janice, he is survived by his son Terry Ewen and a daughter, Tammy Murphy of Arizona; five grandsons, Austin Murphy, Dustin Murphy, Chris Ewen, Jeff Ewen, and Jeremy Ewen; and two brothers, James Ewen and Jr. Ewen.

25 Years Ago September 6, 1995 St. Michael’s 131st picnic on August 27 had a great turnout.

Over 1500 dinners were served. Many of the people got carryouts and ate on the numerous picnic tables placed throughout the grounds.

Surprise entertainment thrilled the crowd at 3 and 7 p.m. Parachute jumpers consisting of the Raymond family of Southside Auto in Jerseyville electrified the crowd when they jumped from their plane into the area near the cemetery.

The raffle winners were: Flower basket quiltElfreda Woelfel of Hardin; Eagle quilt- Eleanor Zipprich of Michael; $500- Ralph Zipprich of Hardin.

“The parishioners of St. Michael’s cannot express their gratitude enough to all who helped in any and all ways to make our picnic the tremendous success it was,” a committee member said.

Enthusiasm is still running high and many new ideas are being discussed in the planning for next year.

50 Years Ago September 3, 1970 Calhoun county agriculture will be on display at the Calhoun County Junior Fair and Apple Festival to be held September 11 to 13.

The fair this year promises to be bigger and better than ever. There are $8,879.00 in premiums offered.

The western horse show, the tractor pull, the art show and the apple show are open to adults.

All the rest of the exhibits are restricted to young people.

They will show the cattle, swine and vegetables. Premium books are available at the county extension office. There are almost 500 classes available in which to exhibit.

There will be professional and home talent in addition to the queen contest at the grandstand.

There will also be something different each of the three nights.

A new building was erected this year to house the commercial exhibits.

75 Years Ago September 6, 1945 Sgt. Lawrence H. Hagen, who returned to the states after three years of foreign duty, has received a citation for “outstanding performance of duty as a supply sergeant of Company H, 185th Infantry, during combat operations on

Luzon, Panay and Negros Occidental, Philippine Islands.”

Sgt. Hagen was honorably discharged Aug. 18, at Ft. Sheridan, having 98 points. He entered service March 7, 1941 and left foreign duty Aug. 23, 1942.

His decorations included the Good Conduct medal, American Defense service ribbon, Asiatic-Pacific Theatre ribbon with three bronze stars, Philippine Liberation ribbon with one bronze battle star and six overseas service bars.

His division is to receive a Presidential Citation and Sgt. Hagen is to receive an arrowhead for an assault landing.

Sgt. and Mrs. Hagen have returned from a week’s vacation in the Ozarks.

100 Years Ago September 2, 1920 Local talent will furnish the real thriller at the annual homecoming at Hardin today and tomorrow.

The event, which will consist of hurdling an 18 foot gap with a lightweight automobile, will be put on by A.B. Campbell, Willys-Overland agent.

The act promises to be an impressive and as spectacular as any of the death-defying leaps and glides which usually mark the average circus.

The jump will be made twice a day during the homecoming with Mr. Liberty at the wheel of the car who will be sent here from Toledo, Ohio, by the Overland Automobile Company.

An ordinary stock Overland touring car will be used to make the jump. A five foot hurdle with strongly built runways eight feet long have been constructed for the event.

The Overland will be sent up the incline at a speed of twenty miles an hour and will lead through the air over the hurdle to the runway on the opposite side.

The act is being put on to furnish proof positive that triplex springs, with which the new Overland is equipped, absorb the jars and jolts of the road, protect the car from road strains and provide big car riding comfort for this 100-inch wheelbase car.

It is claimed that the new Overland is the only car ever built that has stood the strain of such a hurdle.

A blow of forty-two 104 foot-pounds intensity is registered at each leap. This blow, it is claimed, is absorbed by triplex springs with no damage to the car.

Local taxing bodies can seek COVID-19 FEMA reimbursements

The Calhoun County Emergency Services and Disaster Agency (ESDA) is making local taxing bodies, nonprofits and religious organizations aware of the opportunity to recoup funds spent during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Funds spent on overtime costs, personal protective equipment (PPE), testing supplies and equipment, housing assistance, food distribution or other emergency protective measures associated with the COVID-19 response are reimbursable under the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Public Assistance (PA) program.

Applications can be submitted online and resources through the Illinois Emergency Management Agency (IEMA) are available to guide applicants through the reimbursement process.

“We do not want anyone to be left behind in the recovery process,” ESDA Coordinator, Gene Breden said. “This funding mechanism is an economic lifeline for communities large and small.” Public Assistance (PA) is available to local taxing bodies in all 102 counties in Illinois.

Under the guidelines of the PA program, local jurisdictions can be reimbursed up to 75 percent of eligible costs for emergency protective measures associated with the COVID-19 pandemic. It is important to note that the public assistance program does not reimburse for lost wages or revenue as a result of the pandemic.

Applicant briefings are currently underway and provide an overview of the program requirements and instructions for completing the required

application forms. Previously recorded webinars can be found on the IEMA website to help guide applicants through this process at their convenience.

For more information, contact Gene Breden at (618) 576-9663) or by email at calhounesdaca@gmail.com.

Below are examples of eligible applicants under the FEMA Public Assistance Program including: Public authorities — Counties, municipalities, cities, townships, airport authorities, public housing authorities, public transportation authorities, agencies of local government, public school districts, regional councils of

government, special districts established under state law, water and sewer authorities and other political subdivision of the state.

Local charities working on permanent home

By CONNOR ASHLOCK Calhoun News-Herald Angel Ministries and St. Vincent De Paul have been making progress lately in bettering their operations for the county.

Currently, Angel Ministries of Calhoun County pays rent for its facility, but St. Vincent De Paul, which works alongside Angel Ministries, has made a contract with the building’s owner with the intent to purchase.

Both charities are still young, having started up just last year, but already they’ve made considerable strides for the betterment of individuals and families in the county.

“Right now, we’re getting the legalities taken care of. Hopefully, we’ll be going through with the purchase in late September,” Robin Hillen, who runs Angel Ministries, said.

After the purchase, Angel Ministries will still exist and work beside St. Vincent De Paul, but will allow St. Vincent De Paul to take the lead on operations.

The arrangement will allow both organizations to continue their individual focused efforts while at the same time working toward a common goal.

Angel Ministries will still aim to make items like blankets, clothing and home accessories available, while St. Vincent De Paul will focus on food and assisting with necessary expenses for needy individuals.

As the young organizations continue to

grow in their close partnership, they’re also altering their policies as they see necessary, so that their resources will not be strained.

“Soon, individuals will have to come to our building except for those who can’t get out, but it may not be until October or November before that happens,” Hillen said.

“We will still deliver to those who are shut in and without a vehicle.”

Throughout the summer months, the two charities have been distributing quite a bit of food and have been receiving help with those expenses from such groups as Illinois Valley Economic Development, who gave $1,300 to purchase food.

As the plan to purchase their building moves forward, the charities are looking forward to working with the St. Louis Food Bank and Catholic Charities to aid in food distribution to the county.

Presently, Hillen is working on getting the fall and winter inventory out and ready to go, but is looking to clear out some of the spring and summer items.

“On Sept. 1, we’re going to try to start opening for anyone to purchase items to clean out our current inventory. If they’d also like to donate for fall and winter they can,” Hillen said.

Angel Ministries and St. Vincent De Paul’s hours of operation are Tuesday and Thursday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at their building at 105 French St. They are also available by appointment by calling 618-535-3834.

Relationships Are Malleable Rull Brothers Hardin, IL

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

“And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching.”

Hebrews 10:24-25 NIV

R

elationships take work. Even the best of friends and the most loving couples disagree or have breaches of faith or trust which challenge their relationship.

And even relationships which early on seemed perfect can develop problems. Part of this is no doubt because people put their best foot forward early on, and may refrain from criticizing their friends early on. What this shows is that change is inevitable in a relationship—as in everything else—and that compatibility is malleable. Rather than assuming that a particular relationship can’t or won’t work, we should take a growth-oriented approach and see if we can’t make the kind of changes in ourselves that

will make the relationship work.

Relationships are almost always vehicles for personal growth. We learn about ourselves, emotionally and spiritually, through our relationships. It’s almost always worth the time and effort to work at them and to realize that compatibility is malleable. It may sometimes seem easier to just go it alone, but that is a lonely proposition. Take a growth-oriented approach to your relationships, and realize that both individuals and their relationships can change.

WHAT'S GOING ON BETWEEN THE RIVERS Q Point News

by Carol Sue Carnes Q 618-883-2333

I hope everyone remembered the Brussels Ferry is closed for the next two weeks, beginning today, Aug. 24. thru Friday, Sept. 4 as part of ongoing construction on the ferry ramps.

It is also back to school for all students in Calhoun County. Prayers for the teachers, students, cafeteria workers, cleaning personnel, etc. These people quickly had to learn to adapt to a new way of life in the past spring, including an educational system that was transformed dramatically by social-distancing guidelines. Students who had once attended classes in-person were forced to transition to virtual learning.

It appears the process showed just how flexible learning can be, and how virtual instruction may become more than an emergency protocol in the future. I just hope and pray all goes as planned for everyone, even though it means wearing a mask and social distancing.

Mike and Erna Halemeyer have returned from Iowa where they spent two weeks helping their son, Kevin, and Kelsey Halemeyer and family clean up after the terrific storm that hit their area recently.

Major damage was done to their home – one end of the house destroyed and a tree going through the roof in another area. With so much damage in that area, they were forced to repair what they could and are now living in the basement and waiting on the contractors, who are extremely busy at this time.

The Cedar Rapids area had wind speeds of 140 mph and was at a category 3-4 hurricane. We are so happy to hear no injuries were sustained to their family.

On Wednesday morning, Vera Droege drove me to Creve Coeur, Mo., for my second and final cataract surgery. The following morning Barb Sperlo drove me to Alton for my post operative exam. So far, all has gone well, and I can’t begin to explain how much brighter everything appears. Many thanks to Vera and Barb for being there for me. When I had the first eye done Vera also drove me, and Yvonne Baecht took me for the postop exam. Can’t thank these ladies enough for their kindness and willingness to help when needed.

Thursday afternoon visitors of Marie Held were sisters Penny Meyer and Linda Distlehorst of Springfield, Ill. The ladies had read the article about Marie’s 100th birthday in the Catholic Times and decided to come visit her.

The ladies are daughters of the late Henry Heitzig of Jerseyville and their stepmom was the former Bernice (Mossman) Ferguson, Marie’s sister. They brought along a peach cobbler to enjoy after their wonderful visit. Sounds like it was a great afternoon for all.

A couple weeks ago, Francis and Liz Toppmeyer accompanied Mark and Mary Toppmeyer to the wedding of Nicholas Stueve and Abigail Toppmeyer. The ceremony was held at Immanuel Lutheran Church in Wentzville, Mo., at 2 p.m.

At 6:30 that evening, everyone enjoyed the sit down dinner at the Bear Creek Golf Country Club. Parents of the bride are Joseph and Amy Toppmeyer, and parents of the groom are Eugene and Lois Stueve. Abby’s grandparents were the late Leroy and Dolores Toppmeyer. Also attending the ceremony, dinner and dance were John and Julie Carnes of Edwardsville. Best wishes to the happy couple!

On Friday evening, John and Caleb Carnes were my dinner guests. John stayed overnight and spent all day Saturday working outdoors. Caleb was an overnight guest of his other grandparents, Francis and Liz Toppmeyer. On Saturday, Julie drove up to help her mom. Can’t thank them enough for all they got accomplished at both places. After dinner Saturday evening, they all returned home.

Congratulations to Ted “Redeye” Schumann who recently retired after serving the Village of Kampsville for the past 26 years as their mayor. I remember his late wife, Millie, who wrote for the Calhoun News-Herald, commenting almost every week how he was on call 24 hours a day and what all he had done for the village, going above and beyond his official duties.

Ted, we wish you the very best now that you have retired. Retirement means you have climbed the mountain and are now able to appreciate the view.

Loren Kulp was honored over the weekend with a 40th birthday celebration.

The event was attended by family members and close friends. His wife, Julie, and son, Lincoln, helped in hosting the event. Many more “happy ones” Loren.

I enjoyed the article in last week’s county paper where Dave Pohlman has taken the lead on getting a certified “Search and Rescue” team operating in the county. With the Calhoun Ambulance

volunteer group sponsoring them, it gave them the qualifications for the state to train them. With no instructors available four members of the group drove to Plainfield, Ill. to take the 16-hour course. They are now checking on funding available to purchase equipment, insurance and other needed items.

So far, each member has purchased their own backpacks. Their main goal is to not cost the taxpayer any money at all. This search and rescue program will not only serve as a great asset to the county, but also the state.

Their website is calhounsar@yahoo.com. Best wishes to them on this great program!

I find it hard to believe that the residents of Calhoun County are still lagging in completing their 2020 Census. It is a simple form to complete and takes 5 minutes at the most. You can either complete online, or the Calhoun County Farm Bureau will assist you. By completing this simple form, the county will receive $800 each year per resident for the next ten years; that’s a total of $8,000! This money can be used for the local fire departments, schools, road district, sheriff’s department, county health department and so on.

Please give it serious thought and complete your 2020 Census form as soon as possible. Thank you so much!

Birthday Blessings this week to Lucy Fraschini, Barb Toppmeyer, Carol Drainer, Traci Caselton, Tyler Friedel, Jarod Herter, Frank Baecht, Jean Barton, Robert Wagner, Paula Wieneke, Annette Alberson, Ellie Nolte, Terry Hagen, Mike Held and all others celebrating their natal day at this time.

Happy anniversary to Greg and Debbie Halemeyer, Mark and Jennifer Nolte, Tim and Angie Klaas, Karl and Vicki Eickmeyer and all other couples celebrating their wedding anniversary this week.

–––––––––––––––––––– PRAYER FOR THE WEEK Lord Jesus, we ask for Your special blessing for the teachers in our midst. At this particular time they face so many challenges and we pray for strength and stamina for all of them.

We also pray for our youth.

Give them inquisitive minds, help all learners get the tools needed for success in this world. And Lord, bless our schools who have a huge responsibility for so many precious lives.

This we ask in Jesus name.

Amen

tion to all the Calhoun County senior citizens! In 1988, the United States Congress and former President Ronald Reagan signed Proclamation 5847 and declared Aug. 21, 1988, to be the first National Senior Citizens Day with an aim to recognize older citizens’ wisdom and contributions.

President Ronald Reagan stated: “Throughout our history, older people have achieved much for our families, our communities, and our country. That remains true today, and gives us ample reason this year to reserve a special day in honor of the senior citizens who mean so much to our land. For all they have achieved throughout life and for all they continue to accomplish, we owe older citizens our thanks and a heartfelt salute. We can best demonstrate our gratitude and esteem by making sure that our communities are good places in which to mature and grow older — places in which older people can participate to the fullest and can find the encouragement, acceptance, assistance, and services they need to continue to lead lives of independence and dignity.”

Students are back in classes across county

By JARAD JARMON Calhoun News-Herald Students are back in the classroom after what has been about 6 months spent outside of the buildings.

COVID-19 abruptly halted the normal school year in March and sent students home to learn remotely. And since that time, students have not been in the classroom in a normal capacity.

That changed Thursday.

Last week, there was a lot of excitement, and possibly nerves, among teachers, staff and students with the kick off to the new school year. In the Brussels district, there were happy faces and greetings Thursday as teachers and staff saw the students in-person for the first time in a long time.

Although it was a return to classroom for many of the students (some opted for remote learning), though, it still was not in a traditional capacity.

This time around, the first day of classes included a lot masks and temperature checks.

Even still, from Brussels Superintendent Mark Martinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s perspective, it went of better than expected. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It went a little better than I anticipated,â&#x20AC;? Martin said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was concerned about the younger kids fighting the masks â&#x20AC;&#x201D; just having a meltdown because of wearing a mask because they

are not used to it, and they are uncomfortable and all the things we know about wearing masks.â&#x20AC;?

Instead, there was only one incident in the elementary school where a younger student was very unhappy with wearing a mask, who has since learned to â&#x20AC;&#x153;roll with it.â&#x20AC;? Other than that, the kickoff to the new school year has been relatively smooth in terms of the adherence to the guidelines. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And, I really havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seen much from the other grades.â&#x20AC;?

Martin said Monday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know if the parents worked with them and had them practice a

little bit, but something worked.

Today is the third day of school, and I was in the cafeteria as kids came in for breakfast, and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d think they had been doing it for a long time. I am impressed how well they have been doing it.â&#x20AC;?

Notably, there was one hitch at the high school. A student tested positive for COVID-19. But in terms of efforts by the entire district before and after this case was reported, Martin expressed those in the district were doing a great job.

This was especially a relief on the transportation front. Limited bus drivers drew concern from

Brussels leaders on how to get some of these students to school.

But with shifts to the routes and participation from parents to make the routes easier by dropping off their kids at more major roads, students have been able to get to the school on time without much issue if at all. Bus aides are being used to streamline the process as well and let the driver focus on the road.

Recently, the Brussels School Board OKâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d Kathy Carey and Heather Sievers as bus aides. In their role they will be, among other things, ensuring students are in their assigned seats â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a

new rule because of COVID-19.

In other news, Brussels has changed its policy on how school lunches will be handled.

Elementary school students in particular will eat their lunches at school before leaving to go home. There is no change, however, to the grab and go lunches for the junior high and high school students.

Martin said the change was made for safety reasons, namely to ensure the younger ones do not choke on food should they eat it when they get home, during a time when they might be relatively unsupervised.

Carroll denied new trial; sentencing set in October

By JARAD JARMON Calhoun News-Herald Roger Carroll, who was convicted of murder in Jersey County earlier this year, was denied a new trial last week, and is set to be sentenced in the coming months.

Circuit Judge Eric Pistorius made the decision Wednesday, Aug. 19, during a hearing where a motion the defense made for new trial was addressed.

In their motion filed in July, the defense argued the process of the trial was in error on several accounts, largely on the prosecutionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s behalf. The prosecution countered arguing the evidence against Carroll was enough to convict him.

It was in March that Carroll was found guilty, following a jury trial. Carroll was accused of and subsequently charged and convicted in relation to luring Bonnie Woodward to his car outside of Eunice Smith Nursing Home in Alton on June 25, 2010.

The prosecution asserted that he then took Woodward to his property in rural Jersey County and shot Woodward several times with a Stoeger Cougar 9mm pistol. Carroll was then said to have burned Woodwardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s body over a series of several days.

On Wednesday, Pistorius said he did not believe that the defenseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s argument for a new trial was â&#x20AC;&#x153;sufficientâ&#x20AC;? to grant a new trial.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Obviously we feel the judge made the right decision here,â&#x20AC;? Ben Goetten, Jersey Stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Attorney, said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Each issue that the defense brought forward in their motion was thoroughly litigated during the trial, either in open court before the jury, or during sidebars in judges chambers. Pistorius agreed with the prosecution that there was enough evidence to convict Carroll, stating that, from the courtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s perspective, the case was over when Carroll was heard telling investigators that he was not in Alton on the day of the murder, and specifically near Woodwardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vehicle, in spit of fingerprint evidence that suggested the contrary â&#x20AC;&#x201D; that, combined with the account from Nathan Carroll,

who testified to witnessing the murder and participating in concealing the murder.

The defenseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s argument did not address these pieces of evidence, specifically.

The defense on behalf of Carroll filed a motion in July calling for a new trail. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Any defendant wishing to file an appeal in any given case must first file a motion for new trial with the original court of jurisdiction,â&#x20AC;? Goetten said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Rarely is the motion granted.

Once the motion is denied, as in this case, the defense may then move forward on filing their appeal to the appellate court.â&#x20AC;?

During the hearing, the defense highlighted their arguments which included

Also though, the defense also took issue with the judge allowing the testimony about the charred bone fragments at the site. The defense argued the case was ostensibly over following the admission of this evidence, concluding that this evidence coupled with other evidence that should not have been introduced permeated the trial.

The prosecution argued against the assertion by the defense that admission of evidence regarding certain information concerning charred

County Clerk continues to manage local vote-by-mail

By CONNOR ASHLOCK Calhoun News-Herald The vote-by-mail process is already well underway between the rivers, with about 500 applications having been received and filed

by County Clerk Rita Hagenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office, several hundred more than what was received in the 2016 presidential election, which garnered less than 200 mail-in ballots in the county.

It is anticipated that more applications will be received, as about 15 applications are received each day by Hagenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office.

Hagen reports that this is a high number for the county, but this is to be expected since legislation signed into law by Gov. JB Pritzker mandated Illinois county clerks to mail out applications to every registered voter in their respective counties.

For now, vote-by-mail applications are filed in the county clerkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office, but ballots will not be mailed out until Sept. 24.

A concern that Hagenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office has received is confusion over whether or not voting by mail is required this year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had people call confused about if they can go to the polls to vote or not. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re thinking vote-by-mail is the only way to vote this election, and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not the case,â&#x20AC;?

Hagen explained. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People can still go to the polls to vote, vote-by-mail is only an option.â&#x20AC;?

As for the polls, the only polling place that has changed is the polling place for Hardin and Gilead precincts. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Normally, Hardin and Gilead precincts vote in

the extension office, but that location is too small to allow for social distancing. So, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s moved to the Calhoun Unit 40 elementary school gym just for this election,â&#x20AC;? Hagen said.

Hagen noted that some applications were returned to her office as undeliverable, but that was because of the fact that some voters have moved from the residence they registered as living under and some have yet to update to their 911 address.

Additionally, voters should not be concerned with voter fraud occurring within Calhoun County. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Some people are thinking weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re sending blank ballots out,â&#x20AC;? Hagen said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These are only applications for ballots.

The applications have to be signed and turned back in before the ballot can be sent out to the requested address. The voter must turn it in through a signed certified envelope.â&#x20AC;?

Within two days of receiving a ballot, Hagen will assemble three local bipartisan election judges to certify the ballot before it can be counted.

If judges agree that a signature does not match up with that voterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s signature on file, they will call the voter, who will have to come in and present identification to verify the ballot. Throughout this process, the judges will uphold the privacy, and thus the integrity, of the ballot.

For future elections, voters will not have to be concerned with receiving applications to vote by mail, as the legislation that required the mandated mailing this year sunsets in January 2021.
