Hardin takes another step toward establishing TIF district %\ JARAD JARMON Calhoun News-Herald Village leaders are very much still in the beginning stages of potentially establishing a tax increment financing (TIF) district, but it was at a village board of trustees meeting last week where trustees voted to move forward in the process, more specifically adopting an ordinance authorizing the establishment of TIF-related registries and interested parties necessary in the TIF

process.

Hardin Mayor Dave Hurley stressed there still many obstacles to overcome before a district can be established in the village. “There is a lot of hurdles to establish a TIF,� Hurley said.

It was at their meeting a month ago when a planning commission in regard to developing a TIF district in the village was formed. Making up the commission are Bob Ellis, Mark Tepen, Pat Hurley, JD Lorton, Eric Kallal and Jim Franke.

Then as well as now, it will be some time before a district is established.

Right now, PGAV Planners, who provide urban planning, financial development analysis, economic development planning and municipal advising is heading up an independent study to figure out if a TIF district would be an ideal, or even potential, option for Hardin. The commission, on the other hand, will be tasked with determining what would be eligible in the district, should the village move forward with

the idea.

Hurley said the hope is more details will be addressed at the next month's meeting.

Municipalities use TIF districts typically to divert future property tax revenue increases from a defined area toward an economic development project or public improvement project in the community — often related to the area where a TIF district is established. The (See, TIF, A2)

%\ JARAD JARMON Calhoun News-Herald The event, as a whole, may be scaled back from previous years, but ducks are still set to rush over the edge of the Joe Page Bridge like a yellow rubber waterfall.

In the wake of seemingly consistent news of event after event getting canceled, it was announced that the fourth annual St. Norbert’s School Duck Race is still a go. “We have checked with the health department on that,� Danielle Hurley, race organizer, said. “The reason we can continue to have this event is it is on the riverfront with lots of open space, and there is plenty of room for social distancing.�

Because of COVID-19, the event is scaled back significantly, but people can still expect to see the waterfall of yellow ducks cascade down from the Hardin bridge at 2 p.m., Oct. 4, with the golden duck race, immediately following. “We are excited to have it,â€? Hurley said. “It is definitely scaled back so that there is not overcrowding. We did not do our bounce houses‌ No face-painting. All of that will be put on hold until next year‌ Every year this continues to grow, and we sure did not

want to take a year off.�

Also what was introduced last year, the decorating station, will not be returning this year, throug organizers hope that it can come back next year.

The event will primarily feature carry-out food, DJ’ed music and the big drops. St. Norbert’s will be selling nachos, pulled pork sandwiches, hot dogs and pulled pork nachos.

Tickets, or more accurately ducks, will be sold at the riverfront south of the Hardin bridge the day of the race.

St. Norbert’s School students can purchase ducks in advance at school, and others can purchase ducks in advance by calling 618-576-2828. Ducks, individually are $5; six ducks, $25 and 13 ducks, $50. The prize for the winner is 10 percent of ticket sales. Notably last year, the race paid out $1,000.

Another race will follow the big yellow duck race. This race will include decoy ducks instead of the classic yellow rubber duck. These ducks will be painted gold. Tickets to have a duck in the race will be $25 each. Whoever wins this race will receive half of the ticket sales from the golden race.

The event serves as one of the fundraisers for the school. “Who knows, this could be our only (See, DUCKS, A2)

Local canine finds a home after eleven years %\ CONNOR ASHLOCK Calhoun News-Herald

P

hyl Becker is a dog lover, no matter the age — as made apparent by her recent adoption.

Recently, Becker adopted a chocolate lab mix from the Riverbend Humane Society, just south of Jerseyville. “Her name is Dallas,� Becker said. “She’s 11 years old and has spent her life at the shelter.�

It is definately an undertaking to bring home a dog as old as Dallas, but in both Becker and Dallas’ eyes, every dog, no matter the age, deserves a home.

Becker adopted another dog back in November and was going through the adoption process, which is how she came to be acquainted with Dallas.

Now, Dallas is adjusting to a new home and a fellow canine sibling. “It’s a big change for her because when taking in a new pet, especially an older one with different surroundings, it’s going to take awhile. As of now, she’s tolerating her new dog sibling,� Becker said with a laugh.

Dallas’ litter mates were adopted as puppies, but for whatever reason, Dallas

was never snatched up herself. “As she got older, she became more aggressive with other dogs and just never found the right people to take a chance on her. And, as they get older, it gets harder and harder to get them adopted,�

Becker explained.

Becker and Dallas’ story illustrates a common issue at animal shelters.

Many people are in the market for puppies or younger dogs, who isn’t bad, but oftentimes people overlook older dogs, which, according to Becker, offer prospective owners a variety of advantages. “I’ve noticed that older dogs have better temperaments and a better personality,� Becker shared. “By the time they’re mature, they’re not as destructive as a puppy might be. You’ll have a good idea of its personality and disposition because of their age, too.�

Becker also shared that her older pup has a more established health history, and if you’re in the market for a breed that is normally larger, you don’t have to worry as much about them getting underneath your feet if you’re an older individual. “And, just because you get an older (See, CANINE, A2)

Kampsville residents express concerns at trustee meeting %\ CONNOR ASHLOCK Calhoun News-Herald More than three dozen residents of Kampsville gathered in the village park Sept. 1 during the monthly village trustee meeting to share grievances concerning the community.

Residents’ concerns include the presence of drugs locally, as well as issues regarding water quality in the village, flood buyout appraisals and alleged board misconduct.

The newly-appointed interim mayor, Paul Klunk, said on Sept. 7 following the meeting that the village will prioritize issues one at a time and that any difference of opinions will need to be addressed from all sides as the community seeks to move forward.

Regarding several of the residents’

concerns over drugs in the village, particularly methamphetamine, Calhoun Sheriff Bill Heffington said a day after the meeting that this issue not only affects Kampsville, but the entire county, and that there already are several pending cases that the Calhoun County Sheriff’s Office is handling. “Right now, meth is our biggest concern. There’s not a ton of it, but we have a lot of users,� Heffington said.

Heffington further shared that there is a meth presence in Kampsville, but factual evidence of lawbreaking is necessary in combating the issue, not only in Kampsville, but throughout the county. “Get us license plates and give us names,� Heffington stressed. “You can call Crime Stoppers, too, if you don’t want to leave

your name.�

Heffington also said that vehicle descriptions and the alleged identities of those in the vehicle are welcomed tips, as well. Concerning the issue with the village water, some residents complained of poor quality, mineral deposits and instances in which water didn’t come out of faucets.

When the notion of flushing the water system was mentioned, it was shared that the last time the system was flushed was about one year ago, and with some of the water lines being in the condition they are now presently in, doing so might cause leaks to spring.

KFC is no longer ‘finger-lickin’ good’ TIF r e n n u R e Ridg

By BILL HOAGLAND KFC, formerly known as Kentucky Fried Chicken, recently announced that it will not longer refer to it’s chicken products as being “finger-licking’ good.”

I am still not completely clear on why KFC has abandoned its slogan that it is “finger-lickin’ good.”

Some commentators thought it was done to be politically correct during the pandemic. In other words, we certainly can’t be encouraging folks to lick their fingers and then touch the door handles of the restaurant, right? Other commentators thought it was an advertising ploy that was sort of funny — funny at least for those who have not spent time in a ventilator lately.

So now the slogan simply reads “KFC…good”, with the words, “finger-lickin,”

appearing as if they have been partially erased. Without a better explanation, this doesn’t make much sense, does it? Are we supposed to insert our own words between KFC and good? I can think of several words and I bet you can too.

Something seemed strange about all this, so I thought I would take a closer look at why KFC felt this was necessary.

As it turns out, KFC had been apparently running TV ads in Europe in which a human is seen licking their fingers for over 30 seconds, presumably while munching on a KFC drumstick.

The concept behind this ad seems gross, but maybe it depends on who is doing the licking.

The ad evidently drew a lot of complaints in Europe.

And these complaints appar-

C H R O N IC L E S

ently convinced management to slide this fifty year old finger-licking slogan off the dinner table and into the garbage.

Seriously, do you really think that the continued use of this advertising slogan was going to induce folks to haphazardly lick their fingers during a pandemic?

Instead of shelving the slogan, which over the years they paid a lot of money to promote, maybe KFC should simply give out surgical gloves with each order of finger-licking good chicken

just in case people can’t help themselves. It is, after all, pretty good chicken.

Story of my life can’t be told without trees

I’ve never thought about it until now; but when I look at my past, I can’t tell my story without talking about trees.

I was reminded of their influence just the other day, as I admired a beautiful weeping willow. As far as trees go, this one is my first memory. It was from this tree that my dad gathered the switches he would use on my legs. I never felt abused by their sting. Then again, I can’t really say I felt loved by them either. I can remember how quick it took to deleave a small branch in order to make it a correction tool for my dad.

I can’t remember anything I ever did to deserve such torture, only that it must have been pretty bad. My only memory of that weeping willow was one of pain.

But that was not the only tree that brings back memories.

There was a maple just beyond that willow tree that was for climbing. In the center of the yard, there was an apple tree below an old cesspool that would remind you of an old man who had just enough hair to keep from claiming he was bald. The apples were sparce, but the hole in the trunk always provided some of the richest dirt for any plant that needed a boost.

These were part of my home and part of my life.

A later memory was one of accomplishment. Dad brought home two trees for my brother and I to plant.

Mine was a Mimosa. I can remember planting it and it growing into an adult. I always looked at that tree as

something I helped survive and thrive.

Later, as a young adult, I learned the difference between oaks, hickories, sassafras and most others. And isn’t it special, as a deer hunter, I will sit in a tree to have an opportunity to harvest a trophy and re-live a story.

Yes, it’s true.

I can’t tell the story of my life without talking about trees. They truly are a special creation of God. One writer of scripture described a characteristic of trees this way.

He said, “Let the trees of the forest rustle with praise.”

If you have ever been in a tree stand, you know what he is talking about. The sound of leaves at the end of limbs lifted in praise, affirms the truth that if we humans do

not give thanks to God, the rocks will cry out — and the trees will too.

I would love to speak at your next men’s event. Also check out my new website for more information about Outdoor Truths, www.outdoortruths. org.

Letters to the editor

I want to be your pick for commissioner seat

TO THE EDITOR: Hello. I am Deann Koster Fester and I am requesting to be your choice for Calhoun County Commissioner. If elected, I promise that I will LISTEN to all of you. I will WORK TIRELESSLY for every person in Calhoun. I have the KNOWLEDGE and EXPERIENCE to be successful for you.

My ancestors date back to the late 1800’s living in Kampsville and Michael.

I received my Master’s Degree in Education from SlUE, and taught at St. Norbert’s and Unit 40 for over 32 years.

During this valuable teaching experience, I connected with students and their Calhoun history. I learned so much from all my students. I believe in active citizens and taught government and history incorporating our Calhoun culture and values in every class. I refer to it as

“Calhoun Strong,” the mission statement of the floods of’93 and ‘19. In my career, I received the History Teacher of the Year award from the Illinois SAR (Sons of American Revolution) and the Law related Teacher of the Year award from Illinois Constitutional Rights Foundation.

Both awards came with a monetary gift which I used to take children on field trips around our State, including trips to Springfield to better understand how our government works.

Serving the children and adults of Calhoun has always been my mission and I want to continue to serve you. Even though I am a retired teacher, I want to give back to the county that I love so much. I would especially like to show you how much I appreciate your support and help that you gave my family during my husband David’s two-year battle with

cancer. Thank you so much for all your help. It is now my turn to give back.

I have had successful experience in grant writing, securing funds, working with and bringing people together at local, state and federal levels of government for Calhoun projects. If elected as your Commissioner, I will continue using my experience and knowledge for securing funding for Calhoun projects. My experience has taught me to listen and to be empathetic and act on people’s wishes.

No one’s voice is less than any others.

It would be my honor and privilege to serve as your Commissioner. I will listen to you, work for you, and, using my experience and knowledge, provide results.

Thank you, Deann.

Every residents’ census response counts

TO THE EDITOR: Once every ten years, the Constitution requires a count – or census – of the population of the United States to determine how many Representatives each State will send to the U.S. Congress.

Responding to the census also helps to determine the amount of funding that state governments and local communities will receive in the next decade.

Funding is determined by population and other demographic factors.

The census enables public entities and nonprofit organizations to better plan for and fund schools, hospitals, roads, emergency services, and more.

With the recent economic uncertainty due to COVID-19, every dollar counts.

More importantly to many, though, it is an avenue to get out of the house.

“There is finally something that everybody can

If just one person is not counted, communities can miss out on thousands of dollars.

Now more than ever, it is imperative that all citizens are accounted for so that our communities can receive the financial resources they need. Imagine the financial impact if a third of our district is not counted. Recent preliminary results of the census count of Illinois’ 13th Congressional District, which I represent in Congress, showed a selfresponse rate of 68.6%.

This means that roughly 1/3 of individuals in our area have not yet completed their census. When breaking those numbers down even farther, our more rural areas have an even lower self-response rate. The data you submit

(Continued from A1) idea has been under discussion for a couple years among village leaders.

Now, leaders are getting closer to finding out if it will become a reality. The concern among village leaders centers on the businesses in the town and retaining these businesses.

Village Attorney Bill Strang has said he sees the establishment of a TIF district as plausible before the end of the year should it work out in Hardin.

In other news, Hardin leaders OK’d the authorization of the sale of property owned by the village to accept water and sewer bids — to sell their water operations, Village Clerk Danielle Hurley said.

Meeting

(Continued from A1) half-hour of the meeting, one resident expressed displeasure with a water issue of another sort, namely her flood buyout appraisal.

The resident shared that she found several mistakes in her appraisal and that others shared similar accounts.

Interim Mayor Paul Klunk weighed in on Sept.

7, stating that the same appraiser also appraised village properties.

"If the property owner is not satisfied with the appraisal, then they are more than welcome to submit their own appraisal if there are factual inaccuracies and that if there are factual inaccuracies then it will be brought to the appraiser's attention,” Klunk added.

Also at the meeting, a village trustee member, Dave Dexhiemer, was accused by some members of the community of showing up to previous board meetings while under the influence of alcohol.

At the Sept. 1 meeting, Kampsville resident Wade Gibson had even spoken out as the board entered into closed session, challenging the legitimacy of meeting, saying that one could not make decision on behalf of the community if they are doing so under the influence. Further, during that Sept. 1 meeting, he said he

was going to call Sheriff Heffington to come to the meeting to administer a breathalyzer test.

As the board was getting up to go into closed session, board member Dexhiemer attempted to enter his vehicle before being reminded that the Sept. 1 meeting was still in session. Sheriff Heffington arrived to the park in Kampsville after the meeting concluded.

Prior to his challenge, Gibson was one of the eight individuals to air his grievances against the board, requesting to know why water meters allegedly weren’t being read, as well as stating that the current board members were not capable of conducting the affairs of Kampsville, calling on them to step down.

Angie Suhling, who spoke prior to Gibson at the meeting, expressed a similar sentiment. “If you’re not going to help us move forward, resign and let somebody that’s here — that has passion — do it,” Suhling said.

At the end of the meeting, Glenda Sidwell was appointed as trustee to fill the seat previously held

by Rosemary Johnson and Terry Hausman was appointed to fill the seat of Amy McBride. Josephine Becker was also appointed as village clerk.

Roth stated that she and her husband took issue, specifically, with the “dope smoking” that was going on around the building, noting that there were three instances in which such events took place that affected her family.

“After we complained, it got better and went away,” Roth said.

Roth stated that the second time they visited the mayor, about a week later, it was in regard to an individual speeding down a backstreet near their home; the speeder nearly hit their children and their friends, according to Roth.

Concerning the third visit to the mayor, Roth said, “My husband was supposed to have talked to the owners about putting a fence up because we thought that if they couldn’t see us and we couldn’t see them, that maybe we wouldn’t have the issues. My husband came home after seeing the mayor and the mayor’s comments to my husband were that the village attorney had quit because of us, that a lawsuit was pending and that because the village attorney had handled the sale of the business

and the business owner’s home, that he would no longer be able to represent the village anymore and that this was our fault.”

Because of these interactions with the mayor, the Roths planned to speak at the July board meeting, but, according to them, were not able to.

“When we showed up at the July board meeting hoping to get a chance to speak, the mayor opened the meeting by saying ‘Our attorney couldn’t be with us tonight. No one here is allowed to speak unless they write 10 days in advance of the meeting, so you’re all going to have to be quiet.’ And, we obeyed,” Roth said.

Roth stated, following the meeting in July when residents were outside discussing the proceedings, she knocked on the door to ask the mayor questions.

“I did not approach Redeye, nor did I get in his face, nor did I threaten to dig until I had something on him or his family,” she asserted. “I did say I thought it was ridiculous that ten days’ notice was required in writing. I did say that if I wasn’t allowed to speak that I was going to formally request minutes and agendas; I was going to get answers to my questions.”

After sharing her address to the board, Roth received no rebuttal or comment from board members or residents.

Tae James turned one year old Sept 5.

He was given a birthday party by his family and enjoyed the day. He is the son of Haley Suhling, the great grandson of Tony and Jana Sievers and the grandson of Jennifer Suhling of Batchtown. Tae’s sister, Mari, was there to help him celebrate. Also in attendance were: his cousin, Kaylee Cunningham, Gerald, Carrie and Charlie Friedel, Marcy Klockenkemper, Gina, Jennifer and Jeff Hutcherson, greataunt Jessica Suhling, aunt Carlie Suhling, Sydney Cain and Pam Blackwell.

Everyone enjoyed Tae’s special day, especially playing with his toys. The birthday party was a farming and construction theme that was preceded by a delicious meal in his honor and a tasty birthday cake with home-made ice cream enjoyed especially by little Tae. Happy birthday, Tae. Tim and Kathy Easton of Jamesborough, Ark. were guests of Chris Elden and Christine Jones of Batchtown over the weekend. It was a good time.

My condolences to the family of Joyce Titus who died Friday, Sept. 11. Joyce was a resident of rural Kampsville. Joyce was a good wife and mother and

taught school for many years. Joyce was a faithful member of St. Anselm’s Catholic Church and will be missed by all who knew her.

The Calhoun Entertainment Company put the musical, “Peter Pan,” on Saturday night at the fairgrounds. There were many stars in the show that did an excellent job. Michelle Eberlin played Peter Pan. Jerry Sievers directed the performance, which had many delays since March and moved the show to the fairgrounds for the show Saturday night. Lindy and Martha Bick, Dave and Rachel Bick and kids Levi and Claire really enjoyed the show. Others, many of them children and their parents, were also there.

I was saddened by the death of Helen Vetter of Florrisant Mo., who is a sister of Mary Ann Bailey of Michael, and the aunt of Robin Hillen of Batchtown. I extend my condolences to all of Helen’s family. She will be missed but not forgotten.

Sylvester Sievers of Godfrey met Virgil and Angeline Klaas and Irene Wallendorf at Popeye’s chicken for lunch last Wednesday. They had a good time visiting together.

Eric and LeaAnn Klaas celebrated their 16th Wedding Anniversary Sept. 11.

They had a nice get-together with the family.

Mark Baalman continues to be in our prayers. He is in a rehab center in St. Charles. There is a prayer service on Saturday nights at the football field at Calhoun High. Many others are also being prayed for too. This event is open to everyone.

My condolences to the family of Oliver (Peck) Wensell. Peck will be remembered by his family and those who worked with him from the area.

We have a few happy birthday wishes this week: Wesley Klocke, Sept. 11; Cheryl Dodwell, Sept. 13; LouAnn McGuire, Sept.

11; Michelle Wieneke, Sept. 15; and Jennifer Suhling, Sept. 16. Enjoy your special day.

Another gorgeous morning, temperature 69 degrees with high today 80. Entire weekend was perfect, air conditioner sure enjoyed a break! The first of the corn harvesting in the area has begun, and this weather certainly makes us think fall is just around the corner.

Congratulations to Paul and Pat Riechman of Jerseyville (former Calhoun residents), who celebrated their 50th Wedding Anniversary on Sunday. The event was held at the Brussels American Legion Hall from noon to 4 p.m. At 1 p.m., a dinner was enjoyed by their many family members and friends in attendance.

Remainder of the afternoon spent visiting, taking photos and reminiscing of how things have changed in the past 50 years. Pat is the daughter of the late Tony and Helen Schulte of Golden Eagle. Blessings to you for many happy and healthy years ahead.

Congratulations to Arthur Lafayette Martin IV and Katelyn Rose Moeller who were wed on Saturday, Aug. 22 at 2 p.m. The ceremony was held at St. Charles Borromeo Church in St. Charles, Mo. The reception was at the St. Peters Golf Course reception hall.

Only sad thing about it was they had to spend it at the Calhoun Care Center. Several weeks ago, Charlie had fallen and broken the ball in his hip.

healthy years ahead.

Sunday visitors and dinner guests of George and Yvonne Baecht last week were Keith and Becky Baecht, Matthew and Samuel of Jerseyville and Lynette Eberhardt of Chenoa. They all enjoyed a wonderful day together. With the COVID-19 still around, it had been quite awhile since Lynette had seen her family.

Judy Droege of Baltimore, Md., has been visiting her sister, Mary Lee Rose, and other family members the past several weeks.

She recently purchased the Marienau home in Winneberg and she and Mary Lee have been cleaning, painting, etc. and getting it ready for her to occupy. Welcome back to Calhoun, Judy!

Last Saturday, Sept. 5, everyone passing through Brussels was surprised to see the big red “Trump for 2020” bus parked by the former Held Garage. Eric Held, son of Bob and Bonnie Held and grandson of Marie Held, is the driver of the bus. He had just come from rallies in Texas and Joplin, Mo. and had the Labor Day weekend off before heading to Iowa and Nebraska. Many people stopped by to get a photo by the bus while it was parked there. Eric has driven for Hemphill Coaches out of Nashville, Tenn. for many years now.

Paula Herter of the Deer Plain area was pleasantly surprised on her birthday last week. When she returned from work, she found her home filled with several friends who had brought pizza, dessert and beverages to help her celebrate her special day. Present were Dorothy Meyer, Velma Herter, Joyce Meyer, Bernell Weigel and Annie Hagen. Many more “happy ones” Paula!

On Labor Day, Jim and Sharon Held of Alton brought a delicious chicken dinner with all the trimmings plus dessert to spend the afternoon with Jim’s mom, Marie Held. Needless to say, they had an enjoyable time together. Later in the day, they were joined by Bob and Bonnie Held for a wonderful visit.

While talking with David Pohlman recently, he informed me that he and Elden Kinder had driven to Pittsfield last week to pick up a practically new fire truck purchased for

the Point Volunteer Fire Department. He said it was fully equipped and in great condition. When the volunteer firemen meet this week at the firehouse on Thursday, Sept. 17, they ask you to drive by and see the fire truck that will be on display at the firehouse. What a great addition to the department!

On Sunday afternoon and evening, Joe Toppmeyer and family hosted a surprise 65th birthday party for their sister Mary Beth Hasemeier at Joe’s summer home in Golden Eagle. Present, besides Joe and Mary Beth, were Pam Dugin, Susan Ebert, Steve Toppmeyer and Gary Toppmeyer and their families. These are the children of the late Leroy and Delores Toppmeyer.

The occasion also included Francis and Liz Toppmeyer, Lisa Heffington, Todd and Jane Mandernach and Wyatt, John and Julie Carnes and Caleb and Mark and Mary Toppmeyer and Max. Sounds like they all had a great time together; lots of delicious food and lots of memories shared.

Birthday blessings this week to Don Kinder of Golden Eagle on his 95th birthday. Also, Henry Kinder III, Tammy Schulze, Kelly Schulte, Jamison Fortschneider, Amber Ewen, Brittney Tepen, Don Dickey, Tom Rose, Mitchell Willman, Bob Banghart and all others celebrating their natal day at this time.

Happy anniversary to Bill and Anita Kamp, Steve and Erin Carnes, Charles and Virginia Murphy, Larry and Marcia Hattemar, Mick and Christi LaMarsh and all other couples celebrating a wedding anniversary this week.

PRAYER OF THE WEEK: Today, Sept. 14, is known as Holy Cross Day and here is the prayer for that day.

Blessed are You, O Lord, our God, who allowed Your only begotten Son, to go to the cross on our behalf.

He was lifted up that He might draw all of us people to Him. Remind us daily of His suffering, death and resurrection of our Lord.

Through Your Holy Spirit, draw others to You who may be lost and can find hope through You. Blessed are You, O Lord who has given us redemption through the Cross. In the name of Jesus, Amen.

I was whisked away to Neverland at the Calhoun Entertainment Company’s Musical production of “Peter Pan.” It was absolutely fabulous.

Because of rain on Friday night, the audience only got to see the first act. For the safety of the stage crew and the performers, it had to be called. But not to disappoint, director Jerry Sievers and all of the cast and crew decided that they would do two shows on Sunday and the Friday night ticket holders could come back.

The musical was originally scheduled for March at the Center for American Archeology Gym. Unfortunately, 10 days before production, the pandemic shut it down. When they were finally able to start rehearsing again in the late summer months, it was decided that it would be moved to a new venue and be done outdoors as to accommodate the social distancing. There is so much amazing talent right here in our community. It was so wonderful seeing the excitement on all the kids and the crowds faces and even the adults when Peter Pan flew through the air. It took lots of flight training practice for this and lots of strong muscles to make this happen.

As I stated in the beginning, it was nothing short of fabulous, and I’m sure that anyone who got to see it will agree with me.

most soft-spoken men I believe I’ve ever met — and also one of the kindest.

We also lost a very respected member of our community. Joyce Titus died on Sept. 11. I will refer to her, as most people did, as Mrs. Titus as she was so respected by many. Mrs. Titus was an amazing educator and mentor to many.

She definitely made a mark on all who had the pleasure to know her. Sympathy to Cindy, Brianna, Chuck and Lance on the loss of their mother.

Another great lady, Donna Richter, passed away on Saturday. Donna was a very active member in our village for many years serving on our town board and always stepping up to help with anything she was asked. She was also a kind person with a beautiful smile. When you enter the Village of Kampsville, the signs on all ends of town, “Welcoming you to the Village of Kampsville,” were her gifts to the village when she decided to no longer serve as a trustee.

After retirement, she continued to share her love of learning at St. Norbert School. Joyce touched so many lives as a teacher, mentor, and coach. She was known to always help the underdog and as the teacher who could hurl an eraser at a moving target.

Joyce married Norman Titus on November 30, 1963 in Batchtown. They eventually settled on a farm on Crawford Creek in Kampsville and were blessed with four children: Cindy (Brad) Klocke, Chuck Titus, Lance Titus, Brianna (Lance) Sibley.

Joyce could often be found on the bleachers of sporting events crocheting and cheering on her children and grandchildren.

Joyce was a member of St. Anselm Parish and then later, when the North Calhoun Catholic churches merged,

25 Years Ago September 27, 1995 The Calhoun County Historical Society will observe its twentieth anniversary with a reception Sunday, October 29, from 1 to 4 p.m. in the American Legion Hall in Hardin. The public is invited to join the historical society in its anniversary celebration. Articles from the society’s museum will be on display, and entertainment will be provided during the afternoon, as will refreshments. The museum, on the second floor of the farm bureau building, will be open during the above hours.

The Calhoun County Historical Society was formed December 2, 1974, to plan the celebration of Calhoun’s sesquicentennial in July 1975, and the bicentennial celebration of 1976.

Formation was necessary in order for the county to be eligible for federal and state funds. The group also was to be a continuing organization to encourage interest in Calhoun’s history, and to preserve some of its artifacts.

50 Years Ago September 17, 1970 A new and unique cancer fighter was recently on exhibit at the Calhoun Fair.

The exhibition on wheels contains a two-minute slide presentation called “To Smoke or Not to Smoke” which is particularly addressed to the hazards of smoking.

Also featured is a series of

color photographs made by a pathologist showing cancer cells in various stages of growth.

The mobile van was obtained at the request of Mrs. Bernard Baalman, public education chairman for the Calhoun County Unit of the American Cancer Society.

The following people assisted in distributing literature for the American Cancer Society mobile exhibit: Mrs. Ed Lasseter, Mrs. Helen Kraut and Miss Marcella McNelly.

75 Years Ago September 27, 1945 Following is a letter from Seaman Irvin Hirst, son of Mr. and Mrs. Carrol Hirst of north Calhoun, to his parents. We thought it interesting to us and that it would be to our readers, as Irvin has seen much during his stay with the Navy.

Dear Folks: Guess you will be surprised to hear I am still at Pearl Harbor. Changed our orders the day we were to sail for Guam. Don’t know where we will go now, back to the states, I hope.

They have no further use of our ships which are to be decommissioned. Since they don’t censor our letters anymore, I can tell you a little about the harbor.

You can still see some results of Dec. 7. The battleship Oklahoma is tied right beside us. It was sunk Dec. 7. Has about half of one side

blown off and the rest of it is in very bad condition, beyond repairs.

There are several others along the shore. They have raised some that aren’t more than piles of scrap. Can tell by the piles of brick and concrete there were several buildings destroyed too.

The harbor here covers over a thousand acres. It is so full of ships they are tied up out in the stream. In some places there are 15 tied to one anchor buoy. That is the amphibious forces.

The larger ships are tied one in a place. Wish you could see all of them. You wouldn’t wonder why the Navy was so hard on Japan.

It would take five harbors like this to tie up the whole fleet.

Will close now, your son, Irvin.

Irvin enlisted in the Navy last May. 100 Years Ago September 23, 1920 Lamont Beaty was badly injured last Monday evening at the Hardin wharf while trying to load a Cleveland tractor on the steamer John Hickman for shipment to St. Louis.

The tractor is the property of the kingdom Garage of Hardin and it was being shipped back to the factory.

weak to hold the machine and gave way sending the driver and the tractor to the ground below, with the heavy machine alighting on the driver.

Only for the soft mud which caused the driver to sink beneath the surface of the ground and away from the heavy load, the accident might have been a more serious one.

Mr. Beaty received several bad bruises about his lower limbs and it is indeed lucky for him that he escaped with his life.

The tractor received a bad shaking up and suffered a few broken parts and is still resting where it landed- in the mud at the foot of Child street.

What Prophets Do Rull Brothers Hardin, IL

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

“As surely as the Lord lives, I can tell him only what the Lord tells me.”

1 Kings 22:14 NIV

W

e tend to think of prophets as people who foretell the future, but that is only one aspect of prophecy. If we read the Old Testament carefully, we see that the prophets were wise men and social critics, people who were often called upon by kings to give them advice. The kings didn’t always like the advice they received, but the good prophets always gave it straight, without sugar-coating, and in speaking the unvarnished truth to power, often ended up in dire straits.

Consider the prophet Micaiah, who advised King Ahab that he would be defeated by the Syrians, despite all of the other prophets telling him he would be victorious. (1 Kings 22) Micaiah ended up imprisoned for his

trouble, and King Ahab ended up killed in battle, with the dogs licking up his blood, as prophesied. Are there prophets today, holy men and women who hear the voice of God and speak truth to power, despite negative consequences? The people in power frequently do not like to be told the truth, but that is what prophets do. Where are the prophets today?

Local schools to extend free meal program

By CONNOR ASHLOCK Calhoun News-Herald School districts throughout the country are taking advantage of a federal program that will allow them to continue to provide free meals to students as the pandemic wears on into the 2020-2021 school year. This program originally allocated funds for schools to provide meals from March through May and further into the summer.

“Basically, it’s a no-questions-asked 18 and under free lunch program,” Brad Tuttle, District 100 Superintendent, said.

The extension of this program into the fall 2020 semester will continue through December, but whether or not it will continue into the spring semester has yet to be determined.

“I think communities across the nation were scared, and we had some situations where we were out of different kinds of necessities. So during March through May, you had a lot of people take advantage of [the meal program],” Tuttle said.

“There are folks out there hurting because of what COVID19 has done to our economies and communities, so allowing anyone to qualify for this allows folks that do need this to not go through the hoops to see if they qualify.”

Tuttle echoed the sentiments of school administrators throughout the region and nation that, at this time of uncertainty, taking advantage of anything available to help sustain communities is imperative.

“We’re going to try and take advantage of anything we can — no different from the decisions that we were making when COVID-19 hit,” Tuttle added.

Calhoun Unit 40 announced their involvement in the program on the district’s Facebook page last week.

“For students enrolled in school, this started [Sept. 8],” the post read. “Others that are remote or have younger children not in school can call 618-576-2722 to sign up.”

The meal program for those learning remotely will begin next week on Sept. 21.

The Facebook post further specified that the time and location of meal pick up would be announced soon, but has yet to be posted on the Facebook page at the time of publishing.

Calhoun Superintendent Andrea Lee could not be reached for comment in time for publication.

“You know, I just think it’s a positive to help people that need help,” Tuttle said.

No one wanted this virus to continue into the current school year. At the present, though, it’s now understood that COVID-19 may be sticking around for a little bit longer than originally thought. However, volunteers and district employees have banded together to ensure county students are receiving the resources and services necessary to achieve academic success during the pandemic.

The free meals program work because it was needed for the community.

Couple see to it Calhoun youth has soccer

By JARAD JARMON Calhoun News-Herald When it was announced that the Jerseyville Parks and Recreation Department could not offer a soccer league because of COVID-19 guidelines, it was another sour reminder for kids and their parents, including those in Calhoun, of the new realities set out by the virus.

Officials with the Jerseyville department said Gov. JB Pritzker’s guidelines made it so they would not be able to offer a soccer league this fall. Soccer has been labeled as a medium risk activity which means no competitive play.

Historically, the Jerseyville soccer league among their other city’s sports offerings throughout the year are the singular avenue for sports activities for many grade-school Calhoun youth. So when it was seemingly gone, it appeared this was another opportunity to get out and stay active that was stripped from these children.

This was, of course, before an idea struck parents Megan and Mark Hillen: Why don’t they form a league themselves in Calhoun?

“We decided that it would pretty simple for us to organize some sort of a league for the kids,” Megan said.

The idea did not take convincing on either front. Megan said they were of the same mind when they caught wind of the news. Much of their lives is sucked into sports. More than that, staying active is a big deal for the Hardin-based couple.

Mark serves as the Calhoun Unit 40 athletic director as well as a physical education teacher.

“I think physical activity and sports; that is important to both of us,” Megan said. “(Mark) recognized that need for the kids as well.”

For Megan, it is important as well. She works at OSF Healthcare, and tries to stay active herself through long-distance running.

“While I might not be coaching a high school team or anything like that, I do want to emulate a good physical activity mentality for my kids,” Megan said.

Most importantly, it was about making sure their kids had an outlet to be active as well.

“These children have had so many opportunities taken away from them over the last six-plus months that they really settled into this pattern of no activity and no opportunity,” Megan said.

“Personally, for my kids, I didn’t want them to be sitting at

home with nothing else to do other than to sit in front of a TV.” The only question for the couple was were they alone in their drive to see a youth soccer league in the county. When they posed the question on social media, their answer appeared to be a resounding “No, they are not the only ones.”

Megan said the response was “overwhelming,” with 80-plus people interested in the league.

“A lot of kids were really disappointed that there wasn’t going to be a league this year,” Megan said, noting that it was a sentiment among parents and youth.

So, they moved forward with the endeavor, and within a week, the first league game is set to kick off.

“It is not going to be a very official league in a sense, but it would be an opportunity for the kids to continue to play, to continue to develop some fundamentals and some basic soccer skills, to continue to be active in a sport where they might not have had that opportunity,” Megan said.

A few teams were formed for a few different grade-level leagues: Pre-K, kindergarten and first grade, and second and third grade. There was also interest in league play for older grade levels, but not enough to warrant teams. Megan said they wanted to have enough players for a few teams in each league.

“We weren’t able to form any teams for fourth fifth and sixth grade because of the limited number of participants,” Megan said. “But, that age group also has other opportunities.”

So far, each team also has people who volunteered as coaches, who will be organizing practices themselves.

Megan noted that the teams were formed with COVID-19 in mind, noting that each team, for the most part, was made up of students in same classroom at school.

For their games, they are going to be using the open field area of Casey Hall, south of Hardin. The first game is scheduled for Sept. 21, and the leagues are set to continue for a few weeks.

“I am pleased that everyone was excited to play,” Megan said.

Megan added the league is more of a temporary solution for kids to stay active under the circumstances to bring some normalcy to the kids’ lives.

Currently, league organizers are still encouraging those interested in the pre-K through third grade leagues who have not registered or who have more questions to call 618-5359912.

“The teams are formed, but we are happy to add,” Megan said. “The more the merrier.”

Free dental checkup for kids offered in Alton

By CONNOR ASHLOCK Calhoun News-Herald The Southern Illinois University School of Dental Medicine, located in Alton at 1700 Annex St., is hosting their “Give Kids a Smile” event on Oct. 12. The event is for children ages 3 through 13 and provides a thorough dental check-up at no cost to the child’s family.

Dr. Katie Kosten, director of community dentistry at the school, shared that even though COVID-19 put a wrench in their usual procedure, canceling their yearly event was out of the question.

“We really wanted to make an effort to continue in this current climate. Obviously there are more challenges, but we’re treating patients now in our regular clinic, so we didn’t see a reason to not do ‘Kids With a Smile,’” Kosten said.

Normally, this event is hosted on a first come first serve basis, but this year, in order to maintain proper COVID-19 precautions, they have to prepare accordingly.

“There are over 100 appointments available, but they’re filling up,” Kosten said. “After they’re filled, we’ll have to have a waiting list.”

In light of this, Kosten recommends that individuals schedule appointments as soon as possible.

As for pandemic-related precautions, Kosten assured that a high level of care will be exhibited to maintain the safety of everyone at the clinic.

“We have a very high precaution level at the school already and we follow all the normal protocols,” Kosten said. “All patients and their parents or guardians are prescreened before they are allowed to enter, and only children are allowed in the clinic itself. Parents and guardians will be asked to wait in the parking lot

Economic Development Strategy holds promise for region's future

By CONNOR ASHLOCK Calhoun News-Herald The Western Illinois River Valley region, which consists of Calhoun, Greene, Jersey, Macoupin, Montgomery and Christian counties, is thought to be in quite a pickle, but municipal and county officials throughout the six-county region have been working to come up with solutions that will lead to increased opportunity and prosperity in the area.

In June, the region’s comprehensive economic development strategy (CEDS) document was approved, a document which will allow for more opportunity to apply for federal funding for major infrastructure projects.

“Representative leaders from Calhoun, Christian, Greene, Jersey, Macoupin, and Montgomery Counties partnered during the first half of 2020 to complete a planning document commonly referred to as CEDS, now known for this six-county region as the Western Illinois River Valley Economic Development Strategy,” the JEDC (Jerseyville Economic Development Council) said through a press release.

The document not only outlined prospective projects that have been considered for the coming years, but provided a snapshot of some of the issues in the region that might contribute to our present economic position, as well as demographic information that, upon review, would prompt anyone to action to solve the latent issues that have been growing steadily in recent years.

“The CEDS is a regional economic development tool that serves as a roadmap. The plan gives specific details on projects that are identified within the region and serves as a comprehensive plan for grant applications. It can guide decision making on resources to leverage the greatest benefits on projects included in the plan,” Litchfield City Administrator and Economic Development Director Tonya Flannery explained.

The CEDS document was developed through a joint effort of the University of Illinois Extension and the Partners in Progress Initiative, and

highlighted glaring data such as the region’s steady population decline, along with a projected decline that will continue into 2024.

“The region’s population is both declining and aging,” according to page 10 of the CEDS document. “This combination can be cause for concern, indicating that as the number of people in the workforce is declining; the youth population needed in occupations to support the retiring baby-boomer generation is also declining.”

The document even provides data to compare our region with the same data on a state and national level to further carry home the severity of certain facts.

Though unemployment has been declining in the region, only Jersey County did not exceed the Illinois nonmetro, state and federal poverty rates out of all counties in the region, according to the 2017 poverty rate information on page 12 of the document.

The document even highlighted factors such as health and wellness of the regional population, median household income (of which all were below the state median household income in 2019), regional population characteristics and even the regional proportion of businesses, among other things.

The document stretched further to discuss the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats of the region as well.

Out of all the various strengths listed for our region, this region's proximity from St. Louis and Springfield was considered their greatest strength, followed by entrepreneurship in emerging industries and strong farming communities, while those top weaknesses listed consisted of a lack of good jobs, a negative and resistant attitude to change in the region and flooding.

“I believe that rural America is at a turning point,” Pat Pinkston, who works with the Carrollton Square redevelopment initiative and serves as a part of the 30-plus member CEDS Innovation Team said. “And, COVID19 can accelerate a change.

“Rural areas offer the lifestyle that many of us are seeking – relational, safe, affordable, etcetera – but rural America has not transformed to pro-

while their child is inside.

In addition to all this, we’ve had CDC and IDPH guidelines already in place at the clinic.”

Kosten, along with her fellow faculty and staff at the dental clinic, were adamant about hosting this event again this year, which is hosted by dental clinics all throughout the country.

“For me and for the dental school, it’s really important to emphasize how oral health affects overall health and we realize a lot of kids don’t have a ‘dental home.’ So, we want to meet some of the needs that we can, but we want to provide a gateway to a dental home if they don’t have one right now,” Koster said.

Koster went on to add that establishing healthy habits in a young child’s life influences the likelihood that those habits will be maintained later on in life.

“We have a fabulous pediatric faculty who heads up the teams that patients see that day,” Koster said.

“We do everything we can to work with those kids, even if it’s baby steps, to get them to a point where they’re healthier.”

Some of the top opportunities listed in the CEDS document include regional logistics opportunities, roadway infrastructural improvements and advancements in telecommunications.

Despite the opportunities available to our region, though, threats include our state’s business climate, already existing infrastructural problems and a lack of unqualified younger people to fill positions left by people with institutional knowledge. All this information can be found on page 41 of the CEDS document.

The first 55 pages of the CEDS document lays the foundation for its strategic plan, which elucidates the goals for the Western Illinois River

Valley Economic Development region along with specific objectives that the group hopes to accomplish within the six-county region in the coming years.

Under the premise of desiring to build a strong and economically diverse region that maintains a skilled workforce and high quality of life, among other goals, major infrastructural ideas have been suggested that would contribute to increased economic prosperity.

In Calhoun County, specific projects that have been outlined include a Calhoun County Parks and Recreation Department, building up roads, upgrading sidewalks, making road and bridge improvements and progressing with the Calhoun Fiber Project, among others.

Anyone desiring to learn more about the CEDS document is encouraged to contact the County Commissioners for more information.

Hamburg leaders bring light to town hall, gazebos

By JARAD JARMON Calhoun News-Herald Recently, Hamburg residents might have noticed village leaders doing work on the gazebos and town hall, and according to the mayor, that will be a part of a new monthly endeavor.

There are a number of cleanup projects needing to be done in the village, and Hamburg Mayor Eric Benoist said he and the Hamburg Board of Trustees tackled these issues on a work day that is now set to be held on a monthly basis. Trustee Kathi Beyers proposed the idea of a project day, according to Benoist. “This way we can keep knocking off to-do chores on our list,� Benoist said.

In August, board members power-washed the siding of the town hall that was stained dark green. Benoist said it has been at least a couple of years since the property had seen work, so they prioritized cleaning it. They also repainted the doors a teal-like color.

Beyond the town hall, work was also done on the gazebos. Benoist said they repaired the three gazebos — power-washing and painting one gazebo and staining the others.

Later this month, Benoist said they will be able to better fill out the planters they put in a couple of weeks ago. The planters were a hit among residents he spoke with and heard from, Benoist said. He also said that they might look at power-washing the old chapel, which that village leaders hoped could be a community center.

Sending love to local law enforcement Officials at the Calhoun County Sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Office highlighted work students at St. Norbertâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s School did to thank the local officers including Sheriff Bill Heffington. Not so much this year because of COVID-19, but in previous years, local law enforcement has often gone to the schools to inform students of the role law enforcement plays in society as well as give them tours of the sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office and squad cars.

They hung up this plethora of â&#x20AC;&#x153;thank youâ&#x20AC;? hearts from these students on the wall.

New solar surges in Gateway region despite pandemic The pandemic has prompted many people to make their households more efficient, and for some St. Louis area residents, that means investing in solar power.

In 2020, more than 60 property owners have already committed to go solar through the programs. All are expected to be producing electricity before the end of the year. The 500 kW of new capacity will offset over 700,000 pounds of carbon dioxide in their first year of operation and save solar homeowners roughly $40,000 on electricity bills collectively in the same time period. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Another 60 households are actively considering their own commitments, and hundreds of people are joining us to learn all about solar,â&#x20AC;? Peter Murphy, Solar Program Director for the Midwest Renewable Energy Association, which is co-facilitating the programs with local sponsors, said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really exciting to see how much interest there is in solar in the Gateway Region as we approach the September 30 program deadline.â&#x20AC;?

The Grow Solar Metro East and Grow Solar St. Louis programs offer free educational sessions and volume pricing. The goal is to bring residents and small business owners around the Gateway region together to lower the price of solar while simultaneously increasing the deployment of clean energy.

Grow Solar Metro East began in 2016 in Godfrey with the help of local organizations and a partnership between Lewis

and Clark Community College and the Midwest Renewable Energy Association (MREA).Since then has resulted in more than 175 local solar installations. In 2019, the EarthWays Center of the Missouri Botanical Garden partnered with Washington University in St. Louis and MREA to pilot a similar program in St. Louis City and County.

Last year, 137 properties in the Gateway region adopted solar through these programs. These systems are calculated to reduce CO2 emissions by 2.3 million lbs or avoid 1.1 million lbs of coal consumption in their first year alone. This is equivalent to the annual carbon sequestration of 1,240 acres of U.S. forests (Source: EPA Greenhouse Gas Emissions Equivalencies Calculator).

The 2020 Grow Solar St. Louis program has expanded its geographical area to include the entirety of the City of St. Louis, St. Louis County and St. Charles County. Eligibility for Grow Solar Metro East includes Calhoun County in addition to Madison County, St. Clair County, and Monroe County.

In addition to offering homeowners a lower base price, Grow Solar Metro East and Grow Solar St. Louis offers a series of four price breaks as the program hits specific participation benchmarks. The program has already achieved the third of five price breaks, which will result in a 1.5 percent discount for all participants.

That is in addition to state and federal

B3

Hardin, Illinois

incentives that can cover a large portion of the cost of going solar. All together, these incentives make 2020 the best year for Illinois and Missouri homeowners to go solar.

The programâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s participation deadline is Sept. 30 for homeowners interested in participating this year before state and federal solar incentives decline further.

Anyone who signs a contract by then is still guaranteed a 2020 installation or a 4 percent rebate. Interested homeowners can attend one of the last two free, virtual Power Hour education sessions to learn more about solar, the group-buy program, and sign-up for a free site assessment with the programâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s installer, StraightUp Solar.

Through a competitive selection process, an advisory committee chose St. Louis-based StraightUp Solar as the programâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s solar installer. They offer high quality solar installations, certifications for solar work, emphasize education and customer service.
