%\ JARAD JARMON Calhoun News-Herald The Village of Hardin is directing residents and business owners to remove sandbags, otherwise they will be paying a fee in the future.

At it’s August meeting, the Village Board discussed post-flood clean up in the Village of Hardin, according to a Hardin news release.

After surveying properties through-

out the Village of Hardin affected by the 2019 flood, the Village Board agreed residents and businesses should start the process of removing sandbags and flood debris from their properties.

The Village of Hardin requested owners of affected properties to start cleaning up the properties today and complete clean-up by Sept. 22. After that date, the Village will provide notice to noncompliant properties.

Should they be non-compliant, a warning will be issued with a select

State phasing in $40k minimum for teacher’s pay Local oďŹƒcials skeptical move will curb teacher deďŹ cit signiďŹ cantly %\ JARAD JARMON Calhoun News-Herald In a move that surprised no one, at least not educators, state lawmakers and Gov. J.B. Pritzker passed a measure Thursday phasing in a required $40k minimum pay for teachers to address the statewide teacher shortage.

The bill is aimed at relieving what many have described as a severe statewide teacher shortage in Illinois. During the 2018-2019 school year, Pritzker said, roughly 1,500 teaching positions across the state were unfilled.

Local school officials, however, are unconvinced it Jarad Jarman/Calhoun News-Herald

amount of days to be compliant, Danielle Hurley, village clerk, said. If they are still non-compliant, property owners will incur a fee.

Unlike in the ’93 flooding, it will be the financial and physical responsibility of the property owner to remove sandbags and debris.

Hurley said the state disaster relief funding this time around is going solely to infrastructure excluding the cleanup of sandbag and other debris as it was in the last great flood in the region.

Currently, there are “tens of thousands� of sandbags strewn about the vil-

House Bill 2078, which passed the General Assembly in the final days of the 2019 session, phases in an increase in minimum teacher salaries to $40,000 a year over the next four years.

Brussels Superintendent Mark Martin said it might be something that has a notably positive impact on bigger districts, but for more rural districts like Brussels, he said, other factors are playing a role in the deficit of candidates the district along with others across the state and even country have seen.

Simply put, there are fewer people locally that have the (See, TEACHERS, A4)

tâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no secret that Calhoun High School Football has been steeped in rich tradition dating back to the midâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;80s extending into the modern day.

From 1983 until 2006, the Warriors posted an astonishing record of 212-61, including a secondplace finish in 1987 and back to back state titles in 1992 and 1993. During that dominant stretch

of football, the program made 24 consecutive postseasons, which is not to be overlooked.

Since 2007, the record may not be as impressive, sitting at 64-66. But in the last 12 seasons, Calhoun has been able to make the playoffs 7 times, including a deep post-season run in 2016 that lasted until the quarterfinal round.

Last season, the Warriors took a step back with a record of 2-7, missing the playoffs for the first time since 2014. Now, however, they will (See, WARRIORS, A3)

Ozarks trip always poses unique surprises r e n n u R e Ridg

By BILL HOAGLAND For 39 consecutive years, I have taken a pilgrimage to the Missouri Ozarks to hunt wild turkey in the Spring with my brother, some family members and some of our hunting buddies.

Every trip is memorable because it seems that something always happens during the trip that is unexpected and more often than not, flat-out weird. Generally these â&#x20AC;&#x153;memorable eventsâ&#x20AC;? have no connection to the harvesting of a wild turkey.

In fact, they sometimes have a lot to do with the nonharvesting of a wild turkey.

For example, one year Annie loaned me her fourwheel-drive truck, and I returned it with the hood ornament shot off and the side mirrors hanging by a threadâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;I had nothing to do with the removal of the hood ornament, by the way. The next year she loaned me the truck again and I managed to set it on fire in the middle of the woods at 4 a.m.

At that point, I was told to get my own truck.

Then there was the time that one of my hunting buddies got lost hunting on the Current River and had to hitch-hike down the Current River to get back to the club-

house. Incredibly, a young couple stopped and gave him a ride in their canoe despite the camo, shotgun and face mask.

This year was no exception.

But this time, it did not involve setting a truck on fire, hitch-hiking on the Current River or shooting off a hood ornament. This time, the memorable event occurred in a public rest stop on Interstate 44 during our trip down to the Ozarks.

My son, Tom, was with me at the time. We stopped to use the menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s room. It was late morning. This particular menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s room has two stalls to the left and three urinals to the right as you face the west wall.

When we got inside, there was a line. As I am waiting in the line closest to the two stalls, I noticed that while the door to the stall to the left was closed, the stall to the right was open.

Thinking that the righthand stall might be unoccupied, I glanced in. I was surprised to see that it was, indeed, occupied even though the door was open.

It appeared from a glance, that the occupant was a man who must have weighed between 300 and 400 hun-

C H R O N IC L E S

dred pounds. He was staring back at me, and he did not look happy.

As I am waiting in line, this large man suddenly bellowed out the word, â&#x20AC;&#x153;taco.â&#x20AC;? Everyone in line looked around at each other, wondering if we all heard the same thing. Thirty seconds later, he again bellowed â&#x20AC;&#x153;taco.â&#x20AC;? Now people were getting a bit uneasy. What in the world was this all about?

Suddenly, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Tacoâ&#x20AC;? made his appearance. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Tacoâ&#x20AC;? apparently is a dachshundâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; a wiener dog, if you willâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; and he was coming out from under the other stall. The man in the open stall was evidently the owner of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Taco,â&#x20AC;? and the unleashed â&#x20AC;&#x153;Tacoâ&#x20AC;? was having the time of his life.

The Germans bred the dachshund to go down into narrow tunnels and catch groundhogs, badgers and other critters; that is pre-

cisely why they ended up with such an odd body shape. The Germans did not breed the dachshund to duck under bathroom stalls and say hello to the occupant inside. Nor did they breed them to race out around in a menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s room with wet feet, jumping up to greet everyone in line.

The folks in line were not pleased, to say the least. But for me, it was just another episode that makes all of these trips memorable. â&#x20AC;&#x201C;â&#x20AC;&#x201C;â&#x20AC;&#x201C;â&#x20AC;&#x201C;â&#x20AC;&#x201C;â&#x20AC;&#x201C;â&#x20AC;&#x201C;â&#x20AC;&#x201C;â&#x20AC;&#x201C;â&#x20AC;&#x201C;â&#x20AC;&#x201C;â&#x20AC;&#x201C;â&#x20AC;&#x201C;â&#x20AC;&#x201C;â&#x20AC;&#x201C;â&#x20AC;&#x201C;â&#x20AC;&#x201C;â&#x20AC;&#x201C;â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 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. His wife, Annie, shares his love of the outdoor life.

Much of their spare time is spent on their farm in Calhoun County.

Outdoor Truths: Gary Miller

It is balancing act as Christian, hunter Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m getting a little excited about the upcoming deer season. After last year, I feel like I need to redeem myself. My friends are going to take my hunter card if I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get in the woods more.

So, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m making plans now.

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m looking forward to being perched above my day to day life, with thoughts of a racing heartbeat that doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t come from stress. As of late, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been getting a field ready so I can plant a fall crop.

The smell of dirt is like inhaling anti-anxiety medicine. And the seat of my tractor is my couch for therapy. My strength and determination return after every encouraging pass. Trail cameras are helping me not only

record the possibilities, but theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re revealing the past that I have missed so much.

Hunting is not for everyone. I understand that, and I try to respect the opinion of others. As a follower of Christ, I believe I am supposed to.

But creation is complex.

It not only involves plants, trees, lakes, rivers, and oceans, it involves other life â&#x20AC;&#x201C; living, breathing life.

As the steward of creation, I have the responsibility of managing every resource this earth provides. No matter what you might think, our resources are mostly nonrenewable. They are here, and then they are gone. The earth itself is slowly burning

all its non-renewable energy.

It is not eternal as some thought in days past. It was created by someone who is.

All of this to say, I believe there truly is a balancing act for those of us who are both Christians and hunters.

While we understand man is Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most prized creation, we also must understand we were created to be his most responsible one and the only ones who will answer for the rest of what he has made.

Therefore, as I manipulate the land to produce my desired outcome or as I take the life of an animal for food or for management, or as I use nature as my therapy, I will be careful to not only manage this God-given resource, but

protect it, and remember to use it for its main p u r pose â&#x20AC;&#x201C; to reveal the invisible qualities, the divine nature and the eternal power of God, to others. â&#x20AC;&#x201C;â&#x20AC;&#x201C;â&#x20AC;&#x201C;â&#x20AC;&#x201C;â&#x20AC;&#x201C;â&#x20AC;&#x201C;â&#x20AC;&#x201C;â&#x20AC;&#x201C;â&#x20AC;&#x201C;â&#x20AC;&#x201C;â&#x20AC;&#x201C;â&#x20AC;&#x201C;â&#x20AC;&#x201C;â&#x20AC;&#x201C;â&#x20AC;&#x201C;â&#x20AC;&#x201C;â&#x20AC;&#x201C;â&#x20AC;&#x201C;â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Q Gary has three books that are compilations of the articles he has written for nearly 15 years.

Gun owners (Continued from A1) Davis was referring to a mass shooting incident he survived two years ago. He was not injured, but was present at the Alexandria, Va., shooting during a congressional baseball practice.

Davis recently called up Democratic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi to bring a federal â&#x20AC;&#x153;red flagâ&#x20AC;? bill to the floor, which would help more states pass legislation allowing law enforcement to seize weapons in extreme cases. According to several media outlets, Davis stated he believed the bill would pass with a huge bi-partisan margin.

Despite backing the law, Davis was said to still support the constitutional right to bear arms and that he does not believe in making it harder for people to chose the right to own a firearm. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Getting shot at didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t change my views on gun control or my support for the Second Amendment, he said

in the Journal Star. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If anything, it bolstered my support for concealed carry laws because I wished I had been able to defend myself against a crazed, politically motivated gunman on that baseball field two years ago.â&#x20AC;?

He indicated something should be done, though. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The bottom line is, we have to do more to keep guns out of the hands of people who shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have them and do more to empower those who can protect us,â&#x20AC;? he said to the Journal Star. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Red flag laws with due process protections and better coordination with law enforcement could help us stop the next tragedy.â&#x20AC;?

In the past, the congressman has proposed programs such as the School Violence Prevention Program, which offers grants to fund increased safety measures in schools that also includes the hiring of mental health professionals.

Warriors

(Continued from A1) bring back some veteran leadership as Coach Aaron Elmore and his Warriors look to flip the script on last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s finish.

The Warriors, who start their season on Friday when they host powerhouse and WIVC pre-season favorite Beardstown, look to be much improved from last season.

This season, the team returns some key players including second-year quarterback and junior Corey Nelson. Key losses include AJ Hillen and Trey Hart.

This year they are expected to have improved speed, but once again there will be obstacles ahead including their youth and their lack of depth. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are very young,â&#x20AC;?

Elmore said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Depth is our biggest obstacle.â&#x20AC;?

Despite being young, there are some aspects of their game to look forward to. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We worked all offseason at being more explosive and accountable to teammates,â&#x20AC;?

As far as the outlook for the WIVC South goes, Elmore believes it anyoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s title to win. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All of the south is up for grabs,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Even though the field may be open, Carrollton is still perceived as the front-runner as

they look to defend their title.

One thing is for certain, when it comes to Calhoun, the same expectation of the performance will be expected to hold true. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want to make the playoffs and win playoff games, the same every year,â&#x20AC;?

Amplified Phone Program The Illinois Telecommunications Access Program (ITAC) offers amplified telephones (corded and cordless), cell phone amplifiers, captioning telephones, and Braille phones to people who are deaf, hard of hearing, late-deafened, and visually impaired Illinois residents.

This program is free of charge to qualifying candidates because we all pay a 2-cent tax on our landline and cell phone accounts.

Eligible customers can get a new piece of equipment every three years.

The phones available through this program can amplify the sound of incoming calls up to 50 dB (trust us, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s loud), and also have functions that can change the tone of the callerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s voice so that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s easier to understand.

A couple of models even have a â&#x20AC;&#x153;Slow Talkâ&#x20AC;? feature that slows down the callerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s voice, without an obvious interruption, to make conversations with fast-talkers a bit easier. For folks who like â&#x20AC;&#x153;bells and whistles,â&#x20AC;? the cordless phones are all Bluetooth compatible. This is a convenient added feature for amplifying a cell phone through a more traditional handset piece in your home.

The application process is easy: you must have a doctor, nurse, audiologist, or licensed hearing aid dispenser certify your hearing loss, provide a copy of your driverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s license or state ID, and provide a copy of your landline or cell phone bill to prove residence.

There are no income or asset limits, and you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to be a senior citizen to benefit from this program.

To learn more about the program and to explore equipment options, give us a call: 618-576-9567. We can help you throughout the application process and even provide some support in getting the equipment set up in your home.

Fair features jampacked slate of events

By KYLE CUNNINGHAM Calhoun News-Herald After such a tumultuous experience this spring and early summer with the flooding, another sign of returning normalcy to the region, the annual Calhoun County Fair, is about to begin.

This year’s festivities will begin on Thursday, Sept. 5 and will conclude on Sunday, Sept 8.

The event kicks off on Sept. 5 with 4H judging for dogs and cats, poultry and rabbits at 6 p.m. and the Talent Show at 7 p.m.

Sept. 6 will be highlighted by the truck pull at 7 p.m., the Junior Miss Calhoun Pageant at 7 p.m. and entertainment by Backwoods Burden.

Some of the more popular weekend events will be the fair favorite IPTA Tractor Pull at 7 p.m. Saturday, Little Miss and Little Mr. Calhoun Pageant at 5 p.m. Saturday, Fair

Parade at noon Sunday, Demolition Derby at 2 p.m. Sunday, Jerseyville High School Jazz Band and Show Choir Production at 5 p.m. Sunday and the Miss Calhoun County Pageant at 6 p.m. Sunday.

Currently, season passes are available to purchase at local banks throughout the county. In addition, discount tickets will also be available as well. Coupons for discounted armbands can be purchased and must be redeemed with the carnival.

Secretary of State offices closed for Labor Day

ISP reminds motorists to be alert as school starts Illinois State Police (ISP ) District 18 Commander, Captain Mark Gillock, is reminding motorists that area schools are opening their doors to begin the new school year. The start of the school year means an increase in pedestrian and vehicular traffic around schools.

Motorists need to be watchful of slowed or stopped school buses, crosswalks and of children walking or riding their bike to and from school.

Be mindful of children possibly darting out from between parked cars.

Plan ahead and allow extra time for these school buses and the increase in

traffic flow during the morning and after school hours. A friendly reminder that loading and unloading happens twice, in the morning and after school. Please be patient and aware in order to allow students and children to get to their destination safely.

Motorists are also reminded to obey the school zone speed limit and avoid distracted driving. The speed limit in school zones is 20 miles per hour and is in effect from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. on school days when children are present. Motorists are reminded that driving while talking on a hand-held cellular device is strictly prohibited,

as well as texting while driving. A first time offense and any subsequent offense is considered a moving violation.

Motorists approaching a stopped school bus with lights activated and a sign extended must stop their vehicle before reaching the school bus. Failure to do so can result in a $150 fine and a three-month driver’s license suspension. Remember, pedestrians have the right-of-way in a crosswalk.

“Our job is to protect our children.

Please drive with due care when driving near schools to ensure a bright future,” said Captain Gillock.

Illinois Secretary of State Jesse White announced that all offices and facilities open Monday to Friday will be closed Monday, Sept. 2, while facilities open Tuesday to Saturday will be closed Saturday, Aug. 31, in observance of Labor Day. All driver services facilities will be open for business Tuesday, Sept. 3.

tion immediately accessible to a school nurse or a designated care aid who can administer it to a student if authorized and if the student’s prescribed glucagon is not available on-site or expired. After the administration of undesignated glucagon, a school must immediately notify the student’s parent, guardian or emergency contact.

House Bill 822 takes effect immediately.

“This new law will ensure that our children are receiving the medical care they need when they are away

from home,” said Sen. Neil Anderson (R-Andalusia). “For parents with diabetic children, the fear of them having an emergency situation at school is constant. This law seeks to give them peace of mind in knowing that the school has access to this life-saving drug.”

“This measure will ensure that nurses in schools across the state can continue to put the lives of their students first, by implementing best practice for the health and safety of every student with diabetes,” said Rep. Mike Halpin (D-Rock Island).

Teachers (Continued from A1) license to teach. Martin said the additional boost in salary is appreciated, but it is simply harder to find teachers locally because of the population size.

“It is becoming harder and harder to get teachers,” he said.

Kate Sievers, Superintendent for the Calhoun School District, said it might mitigate the issue by a small percentage.

Martin said the state bill will not be a big hit for the district financially, though.

This is partly because they saw it coming.

“We saw it coming down the line and prepared for it,” Martin said. “It was signaled what was coming.”

A pre-adjusted three-year teacher contract has already been accepted in Brussels that aligns with this phase in. Martin said, for years, the school administration has been careful with school funding so any impact we will be slight.

“We are OK,” he said.

Sievers was supportive of teachers seeing a higher pay, but stressed funding needs to back it up.

“In my opinion, teachers are definitely underpaid professionals… especially here in downstate rural Illinois,” Sievers said. “However, just like any business, you have to have the revenue available to increase employee salaries.”

Calhoun CUSD #40 has seen a slight increase in revenue from the state through evidence-based funding, but the district is still playing catch up from eight-plus years of proration.

“It will take Calhoun CUSD #40 a few years to dig out from that impact,” Sievers said. “Teachers and staff took pay freezes; facilities maintenance, classroom and building supply purchases were all kept to a bare minimum. We are now in a position where we are playing catch up and have to make certain improvements for student and visitor safety, and obviously this all takes money to do.”

Sievers said this will make an impact on the district.

Each year the salary threshold mandate increas-

es, and therefore, the district will have to increase the base salary and benefits (credible earnings) to meet this and adhere to the law.

Calhoun CUSD #40 will be impacted by this threshold in the second year and going forward.

She said the impact not only falls on the teachers whose credible earnings do not meet the threshold but for the rest of the staff too. If the bottom of the salary schedule is changed, that impact could also filter through the entire salary schedule, she said.

It is clear among leaders across the state, though, that something needs to be done to curb what has become a statewide and national trend: less are going into teaching.

“As Illinois’ children head back to school this week and next, this new law says to them and their parents loud and clear, we value teachers,” Pritzker said during a Statehouse news conference.

Under current law, the minimum salary for a teacher ranges from $9,000 for someone with less than a bachelor’s degree to $11,000 for someone with a master’s degree. That law hasn’t changed since the early 1980s.

The new law raises the minimum salary to $32,076 in the 2020-2021 school year. It then adds $2,500 in each of the next two years, finally arriving at $40,000 in the 2023-2024 school year. After that, mandatory increases will be indexed to inflation.

Although passage of the bill will increase costs for some school districts, Pritzker noted that this year’s budget included a $375 million increase in state funding for K-12 education.

Sievers said this deserves context, though.

“When the state says they are giving more money to the school districts through the EBF—they are but at the same time, districts are still being impacted with non-funded mandates such as the $40,000 Teacher Minimum Salary mandate.”

According to a fiscal analysis of the bill, the higher minimum salary will

add, on average, about 0.5 percent to each district’s “adequacy target” under the state’s new evidencebased funding system. It also could widen the gap between current funding and the adequacy target for many districts.

Under that funding system, each district is assigned a target for adequate funding, and those that are the furthest below their target receive top priority for funding increases each year, with the goal of providing adequate funding to all districts by 2027.

State dollars currently account for only about 27 percent of all school funding in Illinois. The bulk of K-12 funding, 66 percent, comes from local property taxes, with the remaining 7 percent coming from the federal government.

According to the state’s most recent data, of Illinois’ 851 public school districts, 702 received less than “adequate” funding during the 2017-2018 school year. The percentages of adequate funding vary widely across the state, from a low of 47 percent in the J.S. Morton High School District in Cicero, to a high of 288 percent in the Rondout School District in Lake Forest.

The state has taken other steps to address the shortage beyond pay raises. Already, the state has been removing other barriers, considered by some to be unreasonable barriers to entry to become a teacher in an effort to curb the teacher shortage.

Earlier this month, a measure signed into law

by Pritzker eliminates the requirement that teacher candidates pass a test of basic skills to receive a Professional Educator License.

According to an Illinois Board of Education press release, the elimination of the test of basic skills clears the path for any teacher candidate who had completed all other requirements for their license.

“The legislators have worked hard this past year to help alleviate some of the requirements for substitute teachers and certified teachers,” Sievers said.

“It is hoped this will bring more people back to the

Schools can now supply undesignated glucagon Governor JB Pritzker signed legislation allowing schools across the state to store an undesignated supply of glucagon to treat students with diabetes.

“Ensuring schools across the state have access to glucagon will better serve our students, parents and communities,” said Governor JB Pritzker.

“People with diabetes depend on this life-saving drug, and now students will always have access at a moment’s notice.”

Under the new law, undesignated glucagon must be stored in a loca-

teaching profession, but at the same time, keeping the level of professionalism still in tact. For small rural Calhoun CUSD #40, the shortage of teachers and substitute teachers is very real.”

The new law allowed approximately 1,300 teaching candidates to begin student teaching this fall.

“The State Board of Education supports high standards for the professionals in our classrooms,” said State Superintendent of Education Carmen I. Ayala.

“However, the test of basic skills did not advance teacher effectiveness. Rather, it created a financial and practical barrier that prevented highly skilled and passionate potential teachers from beginning their careers in Illinois.”

Forgive Them, They Know Not What They Do Rull Brothers Hardin, IL

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

“Forgive us our sins, for we also forgive everyone who sins against us.”

Luke 11:4 NIV

O

ne of the last things that Jesus did before dying was to ask God to forgive those who were torturing him. It should be remembered that he was flogged, crowned with thorns, and made to carry his cross to the crucifixion site. And there, after having nails driven through his hands and feet and hung up to die, Jesus says “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing.” (Luke 23:34 NIV) Notice that Jesus is praying for his tormentors, and he isn’t personally saying that he forgives them, but asking God the father to forgive them. At this point in his suffering, the human side of Jesus may have been unable to forgive them, and all he can do is pray for their forgiveness. We do well to recall these words when we are wronged, and to give our tormentors the benefit of the doubt. They may not be intentionally

harming us, and even if they are, they may not realize the harm they are doing to their own souls by sinning. And finally, we should offer up this prayer to God to forgive them, as we hope that God will likewise forgive us.

Adams County attorney appointed to Eighth Judicial Circuit The Honorable J. Frank McCartney, Chief Judge of the Eighth Judicial Circuit, announced the Illinois Supreme Court has appointed Drew T. Erwin as a Circuit Judge of the Eighth Judicial Circuit to fill the vacancy created by the retirement of the Honorable Mark A. Drummond.

Erwin was born in Lawton, Oklahoma and has lived in Quincy, Illinois since 1991. He received a Bachelor of Arts in Classical Studies from Westminster College in 1988 and a Juris Doctorate degree from the University of Tulsa College of Law in 1991.

Erwin began practicing law in Quincy as an associate attorney with Leeper and Farha P.C., in 1991 and became a partner in the firm in 1993. He served as a Public Defender in Adams County from 1992 to 1994 and as an Assistant Adams County State’s Attorney under Barney Bier from 1995 to 1998. He formed

the Law Firm of Drew T. Erwin, Ltd., in 1996 and has been engaged in general civil practice since that time. Over his 27 years of practice Erwin has developed a diverse practice area which has included Chancery, Probate, Real Estate, Business Formations, Domestic Relations, Insurance Subrogation, Trial Practice, Creditor’s Rights and advising Creditors in Bankruptcy. Over the length of his career he has regularly practiced in all eight counties of the 8th Judicial Circuit. He has appeared in Circuit Courts in 40 Illinois Counties and before more than 150 judges. Erwin is a member of the Illinois State Bar Association, The Illinois Creditor’s Bar Association and was past President of the Adams County Bar Association from 2013 to 2014.

Erwin is married to the former Julie Gunn and has four sons, Adlai, William, Aubrey and Alden. He is a

25 Years Ago August 31, 1994 The Calhoun County Planning Commission was finally able to meet on Tuesday, August 2, after not having had quorums in June and July. The main discussion of the evening concerned travel trailers which are appearing throughout the county.

One of the reasons County Board Chairman Vince Tepen, Building Inspector Rita Kraushaar, and State’s Attorney Charles Burch were present was to discuss this issue. “We’ve had this big flood which swept away all these clubhouses, and we had this prohibition against their rebuilding unless they elevated if they were more than 50% damaged. We’re encountering a lot of people tearing down these clubhouses and dragging in these travel trailers,” Burch began. “It looks like we’re going to lose out on taxes and have a blighted mess with travel trailers all up and down where these shanties once were,” Burch remarked.

Alton Police have arrested three Alton men and charged them with the theft of a large electric arc welder from the West Quarry Co. at Golden Eagle.

The welder was recovered in the basement of J.E. Thomae, who said he was keeping it for a friend. It had been repainted. The others implicated were Jim Singleton and Jerome Romano.

75 Years Ago August 31, 1944 The Kampsville-Western Bus struck a man on horseback Monday afternoon about 1 p.m. just south of Kampsville when the horse jumped sidewise from the pavement shoulder in front of the bus. The person riding the horse was Opal Ledbetter of Kampsville.

His brother Woodrow, with him and also riding a horse was not injured. He was on the opposite side of the road. The injured man was picked up by Robert Schumann, who came along right after the accident, and was brought to the office of Dr. S.L. Miller in Hardin.

100 Years Ago August 28, 1919 Julius Mielke, one of Hardin’s mussel shell fisherman, located two more handsome pearls in the meat of mussels one day last week. One of the gems was a high grade button pearl and the other was a ball pearl. O.C. Bartholomew, the pearl buyer from Kampsville, came down to Hardin Monday and bought the two gems paying $100 each for them.

Cleve Plummer, while on his way home in a buggy, hitched to a span of mules, going north, and an automobile, owned by Carl Gordon and being driven by Fred Bizaillion coming south, met on the road near the B.F. Breden farm and a general smashup occurred. The buggy was badly demolished and the car was badly disfigured. The mules tore loose from the buggy and ran away, receiving no hurts or bruises–but as luck would have it, Mr. Plummer, who might have been killed, was thrown from the buggy and only sustained slight injuries.

OUR TOWN/NEWS/PUBLIC NOTICE

Hardin, Illinois

USDA defer insurance costs for farmers in flooded areas The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) Risk Management Agency (RMA) announced it will defer accrual of interest for all agricultural producers’ spring 2019 crop year insurance premiums to help the wide swath of farmers and ranchers affected by extreme weather in 2019.

Specifically, USDA will defer the accrual of interest on spring 2019 crop year insurance premiums to the earlier of the applicable termination date or for two months, until November 30, for all policies with a premium billing date of August 15, 2019. For any premium that is not paid by one of those new deadlines, interest will accrue consistent with the terms of the policy.

“USDA recognizes that farmers and ranchers have been severely affected by the extreme weather challenges this year,” said U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Sonny Perdue. “I often brag about the resiliency of farmers but after a lifetime in the business, I have to say that this year is one for the record books. To help ease the burden on these folks, we are continuing to extend flexibility for producers with today’s announcement.”

RMA Administrator Martin Barbre added, “This administrative flexibility is not unprecedented but is a move RMA takes seriously and only under special circumstances like we’re experiencing today.

Growers typically have some crop harvested and cash flow to make their billing date, but with so many late planted crops, this year will be an anomaly.”

America’s farmers and ranchers have been especially challenged throughout the 2019 crop year, struggling through

severe flooding and excessive moisture conditions across the grain belt and in many other rural communities, with some areas also dealing with extreme heat and drought.

Such weather conditions are expected to take a serious toll on acres planted, crop yields, and crop quality as harvest begins.

One of the largest operating costs for producers is crop insurance premiums paid to their Approved Insurance Provider. Many spring crop insurance premiums are due to be paid before Oct. 1.

Without the interest deferral, policies with an Aug. 15 premium billing date would have interest attach starting Oct. 1 if premiums were not paid by Sept. 30. Now, under the change, policies that do not have the premium paid by Nov. 30 will have interest attach on Dec. 1, calculated from the date of the premium billing notice.

Earlier this summer, USDA announced a series of flexibilities to reduce stress on producers affected by weather, including: providing more time for cover crop haying and grazing by moving the start date from Nov. 1 to Sept. 1, 2019; allowing producers who filed prevented planting claims then planted a cover crop with a potential for harvest to receive a $15 per acre Market Facilitation Program payment; holding signups in select states for producers to receive assistance in planting cover crops; and extending the crop reporting deadline in select states.

USDA also will provide producers with prevented planting acreage additional assistance, which will be announced in the coming weeks, through the Additional Supplemental Appropriations for Disaster Relief Act of 2019.

What’s Happening Saturday, Sept. 7: Alton Memorial Hospital Girls on Grapes, Boys on Brew fundraiser, noon to 3 p.m., at the Loading Dock, 400 Front St. in Grafton. Sampling more than 25 area restaurants and wineries. Must be 21 to attend.
