Data deficiencies cause uproar during hazard mitigation meeting

By KRIS SCHEFFEL Calhoun News-Herald Tuesday, Sept. 17 officially kicked off the first of three meetings for the Hazard Mitigation Committee.

The first meeting served as an overview of the number of and damaged incurred by natural hazards. But for those in the audience, at least those vocal at the meeting, this overview was lacking in one key area: data.

Residents criticized the information those involved in formulating a plan are using.

The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) provided grant money to Calhoun County to hire American Environmental Corp. to revise its hazard mitigation plan. “If you do not use an outside contractor, you won’t get the plan approved,� Gene Breden, Emergency Services and Disaster Assistance coordinator, said.

And in order to receive state or federal funds for hazard mitigation projects, counties need a hazard miti-

gation plan.

To be considered for specific projects, proposals need to be written into the plan with reference to past hazard events. Thus, when grant money becomes available, Calhoun will automatically be considered as a recipient.

Andrea Bostwick, American Environmental Corp. risk assessor, said Calhoun County has documented 284 natural hazards with 92 of those occurring after 2009. Severe storms, winter storms and floods were the most common of these events and have had the largest impact upon the community. “Flooding is where your largest hazard lies,� she said.

Bostwick prefaced her presentation by touching on the accessibility limitations on the data they would be providing. “The (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s) database only goes back to 1994 on flood and winter storms,� Bostwick said. “Calhoun is not systematically wellcovered by the database.�

The reality of this limitation was present when floods were addressed.

The slide listed a total of “32 verified flood events.� One of these 32 events was reported to have caused “$10,000 in property damages and $39,000 in crop damages.�

For those present, roughly 25 or so, the numbers did not add up, drawing chuckles in the audience.

Many questioned how only $10,000 was accounted for when they themselves had many times that in damages. “That is patently ridiculous,� resident John Clark said. “You are putting up numbers that are putting our county in a bad way. We need help.�

Bostwick clarified the company faces limitations as a non-governmental agency coming up against the Privacy Act when collecting data on the region.

FEMA provides information on damages related to uninsured homes that serve as a primary residence for the owner.

“You need someone who is willing to provide those (numbers) for you, particularly when it comes to crops,� she said.

This point was affirmed by Emergency Services and Disaster Assistance coordinator Gene Breden Bythe JARAD JARMAN following meeting. “A lotCalhoun of the procedures that FEMA News-Herald follows don’t give you the whole Calhoun County is one of the many scope,� he said. counties approved disaster relief.

About two inches of rain fell on Calhoun ahead of the Flood Party on the lawn of the Marvin Richter Courthouse, but stopped just short of when the festivities kicked off. “I guess you can’t have a flood party without a little rain,� organizer Rick Ringhausen said.

To a backdrop of puddles and cloudy skies, crowds of county residents ate some free food, listened to live entertainment and watched fireworks in celebration of the volunteers who helped during the flood earlier this year. “The purpose was to thank everybody that helped us so much during the flood time,� Ringhausen said. “You just can’t imagine how many organizations and groups came to help us.

There would be organizations from Springfield, from Chicago, from down south. You can’t imagine.�

The spirit of helping was ever present within the county as well with many residents sandbagging the areas and buildings along the Mississippi River, who were going to get the brunt of the incoming flood waters.

For some of the businesses along the rivers edge, this volunteerism was the determining factor in them still

Mandi Eickmeyer of the Hardin Drive-In said saving her family’s business from the flood waters simply would have not been possible without these volunteers. “(Hardin Drive-In) wouldn’t still be standing if they wouldn’t have been there for us,� she said. “It was coming at us full force.�

Hardin Drive-In was one of sever-

al vendors at the Flood Party. Those from Hardin Drive-In were handing out free ice cream vouchers and offering a chance to win pizza. It was a gesture aimed at thanking the community for coming to their aid.

Eickmeyer said it was a gesture that could not encompass her family’s gratitude toward those who helped. “I could never thank people enough,� she said.

When they needed hands to help them build what turned into an 8-foot wall of sandbags around the business, the help was there. “There were so many times I got on Facebook when we were struggling, and the wall needed to go higher,� Eickmeyer said. “I would get on Facebook and say we need (See, CELEBRATES, A2)

It’s not easy being a two-headed snake r e n n u R e Ridg

By BILL HOAGLAND Last September, an odd thing happened in the snake world.

Within a two-week span of time, two very unusual copperhead snakes were discovered, one in Virginia and one in Kentucky; both snakes had two heads and only one body. Each snake was estimated to be less than a month old when found.

While you may have heard that two heads are sometimes better than one, that rule does not apply to snakes.

You will see why in a minute.

Herpetologists examined each snake and found that the anatomical situation was the same in each snake.

With regard to the Virginia snake, for example, each head of the snake was equipped with a complete set of fangs, venom sacks and throat but the rest of the body was just like any other snake—one lung, one heart and so on.

Each head was capable of envenoming prey and eventually swallowing that prey, but guess what?The head that bit its prey did not tell

the other head that it was intending to swallow what it had envenomed.

The other head, sensing that a meal was nearby, would try to swallow what was already in the process of being swallowed by the other head.

Talk about a major foodfight!

The end result of all this is that normally, two-headed snakes starve to death because they compete for the same food and neither one gets to swallow it.

This quirky story really peaked my interest so I did some additional research on two-headed snakes. It turns out that there is a herpetologist who specializes in the study and handling of twoheaded snakes.

In fact, he has studied more than 950 two-headed snakes. He has determined that with proper supervision, two-headed snakes can survive but it is a labor-intensive project because they have to be fed at the same time or they will die.

Some two-headed snakes having proper supervision have survived and have lived a full life. One zoo

C H R O N IC L E S

had a two-headed snake for more than 17 years.

The St. Louis Zoo had a two-headed snake--named “We”--that also lived a long time.

Oddly enough, two-headed snakes that do survive are in great demand as pets. And here is a bit of weird trivia to get your head around: two-headed snake owners include Ben Franklin, Thomas Edison, Thomas Jefferson and Ellen DeGeneres.

So, are you wondering, like me, as to what happens when an attempt is made to breed a two-headed snake with a normal snake?

Are the two heads going to argue over the choice of a mate? Do the astrological signs need to be aligned?

Does the prospective mate need to be a Gemini?

Well, believe it or not,

there is a herpetologist at the University of Valencia in Spain who has a two-headed king snake that he has been maintaining for several years and this year, he is going to attempt to breed this snake with a one-headed snake. Should we “keep our fingers crossed” that the two heads can agree on a mate and to get the job done?

Maybe so.

Outdoor Truths: Gary Miller

Life only gets better with age, like fine wine My hunting vehicle is a 1995 Nissan Pathfinder.

For the past 3 or 4 years, I have been thinking how that anytime, it is going to bite the dust. I am the second owner. Its first owner totaled it in a wreck years ago, and I bought it from the insurance company.

It was salvageable so it became my son’s first vehicle. Many of the cosmetic parts that should have been replaced were simply beaten back into submission.

We only fixed or replaced that which was absolutely necessary for it to run safely.

After a few years of good service, my son moved into a car (not literally, but I thought about it sometimes), and I made the Pathfinder a full-time hunting and fishing vehicle.

Since that time, it has eaten two transmissions and

was “retotaled” when a deer ran in front of it. And that doesn’t include how I went for a couple of years without any dash lights working and the headlights would only work on dim.

Finally, I got that fixed but now there is a big hole in the floorboard that has given way to rust. The good news is, the engine runs, the aircondition unit only needs to be refilled with Freon every other year, and as long as I smell oil, I know it’s not dry.

I think it can make it one more year (I do need some tires though – used of course).

Did I mention I’m having a birthday this week?

Really don’t know what made me think of that. But on second thought, my Pathfinder and I do have a lot in common. I can imagine years ago when its origi-

nal owner let Metallica rip through its cassette player.

Today, Metallica is driving.

He has silver in his hair, gold in his teeth, and lead in his butt.

And while me and my little SUV may be consistent, we also need to make sure we stay in the slow lane.

You ask, what about the dings and scratches? Well, the dings have given both of us character and the scratches are bookmarks that serve as reminders for some great stories; stories that new and shiny can’t offer.

I’m getting to the place, however, where parts cost more than the vehicle is worth. Oh yeah, my candles this year will probably cost more than the cake.

Maybe the comparisons are endless, but there is one thing I know – some things only get better with age

Beyond sandbagging, those who were incapable of sandbagging compensated in other ways by cooking them meals.

Among the host of people offering free food or games at the Flood Party were some of those same volunteers who helped across the county including Diane Brangenberg.

Brangenberg along with her late husband were flood coordinators for the Village of Kampsville at the time of the flood.

Brangenberg said simply attending the Flood Party would not have been in her nature.

“That is not how I am,” she said.

She and others from Kampsville brought the kids games used at their village parties to the event. For Brangenberg, the Flood Party offered a chance to do more.

“That was my way of being able to honor my husband’s memory and to give back,” she said.

Her husband died in June.

The Flood Party dually served as an avenue for peo-

ple to raise funds. Many local organizations that raise funds throughout the summer did not have an outlet to do so.

The Calhoun Jr. High Warriors fundraised for new uniforms with T-shirts and baked goods at the Saturday celebration. Tonya Kasinger, Calhoun Elementary cheerleading coach, said this allowed them the opportunity to fundraise where there was none.

The team sought to raise funds for uniforms over the summer, but were unable.

Kasinger said they would not likely meet the threshold to pay for the uniforms with money from the Flood Party, but was optimistic.

Beyond the celebrating volunteers and fundraising, Flood Party also served as an avenue to simply relax.

“For the people that went through it, we just wanted to give them a chance to have an easy day for a change, even though it is not a rain free day,” Ringhausen said.

“It was a long eight and a half, nine weeks,” Eickmeyer said. “These people needs this.

Everybody worked so, so hard.”

Proceeds generated from the event will be donated to sandbag cleanup.

First responders work quickly to free crash victims as Survival Flight 5 lands its helicopter in mock crash.

(Continued from A1) School participated: one dead on the scene, two with minor injuries, one unconscious and one under the influence of alcohol. The two-car, t-bone collision was the result of drunk driving.

The unfolding scene demonstrated the sheer size of force and enormous efforts of the emergency services who responded to the scene.

As the Sheriff’s deputies conducted a sobriety test on a drunk, but largely unscathed student, other first responders attempted to free the rest from the vehicles. The firemen had to resort to the use of the jaws of life on both vehicles with one seeing the removal of the entire roof.

Firetrucks, ambulances, police vehi-

cles and a helicopter were brought to the scene. The emergency services worked for roughly an hour to rescue the students with Miller narrating each step of the process.

“What you saw here today was indeed real,” he said. “This is all stuff that we do.”

Just earlier that week, a rollover accident occurred on the field on which the mock crash took place, underscoring the seriousness of the message the first responders delivered.

“In a split second, it can happen,” Miller said.

However, it is not just students who need to hear the message, Miller noted.

While the example from Friday focused on drinking and driving, many wished to convey equally dangerous conse-

quences of distracted driving.

“Texting and driving has the same penalties as driving intoxicated,” Hardin Police Chief Greg Weishaupt said.

The event has been going for over five years with the first years conducted by the ambulance service. Since then, more of the emergency responders have become involved with the fire department taking over the organization of the event in more recent years.

While this level of participation has given students a more realistic sense of what goes on during these crashes, it also provides first responders an important training opportunity who so often have to deal with the high-stakes reality of such events.

“It’s a serious, but fun time and a good chance to train,” Miller said.

Falls Prevention: Fall is a great time to talk about preventing falls. The fear of falling is very powerful and you may not even realize how your fears are limiting your daily life.

You may find yourself staying home more often, or even spending more time sitting and being inactive. This in turn can reduce your overall health and diminish your independence.

So, are you at risk for falling? Here are some factors that increase your risk of falls: No. 1, if you live alone or have a small social circle, you are at higher risk of falling because you are less likely to have help when you need it.

Under the Public Assistance program, FEMA awards grants to assist state and local governments and certain private nonprofit organizations with the response to and recovery from disasters, according to the new release.

Under the guidelines of the program, local jurisdictions can be reimbursed for up to 75 percent of eligible costs.

The program can provide funding for debris removal, implementation of emergency protective measures and permanent restoration of infrastructure.

The release states the program also encourages protection from future damage by providing assistance for hazard mitigation measures during the recovery process.

The state will work with FEMA to manage the program and administer the funding.

The governor has also directed the Illinois Emergency Management Agency to work with affected areas

not covered by this federal disaster declaration to explore all available options to help them in the wake of this disaster, according to the release.

This could include further damage evaluations, appealing the federal denial or identifying other funding sources.

In August, Pritzker’s office detailed more than $69 million in direct losses caused by the flooding, including $61 million in losses for state, county and local governments and more than $8.2 million in losses for individuals.

That number is more than triple the $19.2 million – or $1.50 per Illinois resident – in damages necessary to qualify the state for aid through the federal government.

Pritzker’s office said more than 1,000 miles of roadway and bridges were damaged or left inaccessible, and the flooding impacted more than 1,400 homes and 2.1 million people. Of those, 42 homes were destroyed, 178 sustained major damage, 419 had minor damage and 708 were impacted by rising floodwaters.

A Small Business Association survey identified 76 businesses and nonprofits with major impacts from this disaster and 217 with minor impacts.

Voter registration cards mailed out Rita Hagen, Calhoun County Clerk, announced that new voter registration cards were mailed on Sept. 3.

Any resident with an active voter registration status should look for a yellow, postcard sized registration card.

The card will list the resident’s name address, precinct, voter code, polling location and voting district information with an additional signature line. If there is incorrect information listed, residents should contact Hagen at her office.

If the address listed is incorrect or not updated with the new 911 address, residents are requested to fill out the transfer of registration on the back of the card.

Once corrected and signed, it will need to be returned to Hagen’s office at the county building.

If no corrections are needed, the card is to be kept for identification. There are

Your physical environment is important, too. For example, if you have poorly-lit hallways, trip hazards like cords and clutter, and uneven sidewalks around your home, you are putting yourself at a higher risk for falls.

Slippery surfaces in the kitchen, bathroom and outside are also risky.

Here are some good habits to develop to reduce your risk of falling: talk with your doctor or pharmacist about your prescription medications to make sure you understand possible side effects and to prevent cross-reactions; try to improve your physical strength and flexibility through light exercise; do a home-safety check to identify and fix fall hazards; make sure handrails, steps, and sidewalks around your home are in good repair, and be sure to ask for help when you need it.

(Continued from A1) has provided forms for residents if they wish to contribute to the data collection effort. Crowdsourcing is key to the creation of a hazard mitigation plan, Breden said. “(The meeting) was exactly what we wanted,� he said. “We wanted people to be outspoken. (The plan) needs to be the opinion of the community.�

The Natural Hazard Events questionnaire is available at the county clerk’s office located at the Marvin Richter Government Building.

For more information on hazard mitigation plans, Andrea Bostwick can be contacted via phone at 217-585-9517 ext. 9, or via email at abostwick@aecspfld.com.

Currently, Calhoun County is conducting postmitigation in the form of buyouts— the goal of which is to protect future properties from floods by keeping them out of areas where flood waters have reached.

The next two meetings will go over the mitigation proposals to determine what will be included in the plan before it is submitted to the government.

The next hazard mitigation meeting has been set for Monday, Jan. 13, 2020, subject to weather.

Residents are encouraged to attend.

currently no requirements to provide the card for identification at polling locations.

In addition, if residents do not receive a yellow, voter registration card and believe they should, they will also need to contact Hagen.

Also, candidate petitions for the March 17, 2020 Primary Election are available in the Calhoun County Clerk’s Office.

The local public offices up for election are Circuit Clerk, State’s Attorney, Supervisor of Assessments, County Board and Precinct Committee-persons for all seven precincts.

The first day to circulate a petition for this election was Sept. 3 for filing during the period of Nov. 25- Dec. 2 at 5 p.m.

Batchtown Methodist Church’s Singing Sunday returns Do you miss singing the old church songs that you so fondly remember? Do you have a favorite hymn that you haven’t heard in church for years?

If so, then the Batchtown United Methodist Church in Batchtown is the place to be this Sunday morning, Sept. 29, at 10:45 am.

Pastor Phil Grable has announced that this Sunday the Batchtown Methodist Church will again be hosting a “Singing Sunday.�

Everyone present will have a chance to request songs and the opportunity to perform special songs on their own or with a group. “This is something that

we have been doing on the fifth Sunday of the month. Now, we missed one in June because of the flooding, and we are ready to sing this weekend to make up for it,� Pastor Phil Grable said. “It’s just another way to praise God through song, and we ask everyone to come out this Sunday morning and help us sing God’s praises.�

Pastor Grable continued, “When people find out I’m not preaching we get a real good turn-out, and we’re happy to hear so many people fill this little church up with song.�

The next Singing Sunday is scheduled for the fifth Sunday in December.

Live Dangerously “In the same way, those of you who do not give up everything you have cannot be my disciples.�

The advice to live dangerously is not meant to suggest that we should stop wearing seatbelts or taking our prescribed medicine, but rather that we should take some risks which might transform our lives for the better. “Nothing ventured, nothing gained� is as true in the stock market as it is in our everyday lives, and especially in our spiritual lives. The patriarchs and prophets of the Bible never lived lives of comfort and security. They were sojourners in strange lands, warriors for the Lord, and men and women who took great risks precisely because of their devotion and obedience to God. Consider Jesus’s instructions to the twelve disciples when he sent them out to proclaim the Kingdom of God: “Take nothing for the journey—no staff, no bag, no bread, no money, no extra shirt.� (Luke 9:3 NIV) Definitely not advice for a safe and well-planned trip, but it is exactly what one would expect if one has totally surrendered him- or herself to God. Throughout the Gospels,

Jesus frequently sounds like he is trying to dissuade people from following him, saying, for example, “You must take up your cross and bear it.� What Jesus appears to be saying here, and in countless other places, is that devotion to God comes at a cost, and often a very high cost. Life was never meant to be easy, and even less so for those who choose to devote themselves to God. – Christopher Simon

The Calhoun Flood Party, held on Saturday evening on the grounds of the Marvin Richter Courthouse lawn, was enjoyed by many from all over the county. This event was to thank all the volunteers who gave of their time to help sand bag, provide food, etc. during this years flood.

There were vendors, entertainment and beautiful fireworks. This party, organized

by Richard Ringhausen, was a way of bringing the county together to thank them for all their hard work.

Back in 1928, Mrs. Grace Seibold, along with 25 mothers, who lost sons in the war, began an organization that later became the American

PLEASE RECYCLE THIS NEWSPAPER

Gold Star Mothers, Inc. Later in 1936 President Woodrow Wilson and the Congress of the United States designated that the last Sunday in September every year was to be set aside to honor our nations Gold Star Mothers.

I remembered that Henrietta Haug wrote a book with the names of all the mother’s that lost a son during World War I in Illinois. Haug, the great grandmother of Susan Haug-Kinder, has the book written by her and published back in 1941.

It includes the names of all the mothers in Illinois who lost a son, including her son, Cpl. Oscar F. Haug.

In 1939-40, Haug was the chairman of the 20th District American Legion Auxiliary. At the time of her son’s death, she received a letter from General John Pershing, Commander on the Western Front in WWI , expressing his sympathy on the loss of her son.

Haug dedicated and presented a copy of her book to the Brussels American Legion Auxiliary Post #685 after it was published. Sunday, Sept. 29, 2019, was set aside this year to honor all the Gold Star Mothers.

Haug’s book is in the Library of Congress in Washington, DC, along with 4,000 other WWI documents.

Don’t forget this coming Sunday, Sept. 29, is the Annual Batchtown Fall Fest.

The event starts at noon with a parade. Also their will be lots of delicious food, music, vendors, etc.

Mark your calendar for Saturday, Oct. 5, 7 p.m. when the Calhoun Entertainment Company will hold their Country Jamboree at

the Kampsville American Legion, Center for American Archeology.

Tickets can now be purchased by calling (618) 883-2089. This is such a wonderful evening of music and entertainment you certainly don’t want to miss it.

Fiber optics to be in Brussels School Board classrooms by end of year OKs balanced budget

By KRIS SCHEFFEL Calhoun News-Herald The final details of the fiber optic cable installation were being hammered out at the Calhoun School Board meeting this past Monday, Sept. 23.

American Electric, the contracted company, has been in the process of installing fiber optic cables for the county government and schools. The Monday meeting determined that the cables would be placed underground rather than from pole to pole.

While a seemingly insignificant detail, it signals the final steps in the process of obtaining faster, more reliable internet for Calhoun’s schools.

Superintendent Kate Sievers described the project as revolutionary for residents and students alike.

“Sometimes, it gets bogged down,” she

25 Years Ago September 28, 1994 Many of the Calhoun County Rural Water District Board members expressed concern at their meeting on Tuesday, September 20, about the wells still having not been drilled.

“They’ve kind of hem and hawed around. They (McClelland Services of St. Louis) kept saying IDOT (Illinois Department of Transportation) because they wouldn’t let them get their rigs and equipment across the bridge.

We talked to them today. The smaller rig is fixed, but the guy who does the drilling is not available.” Engineer Dean Heneghan explained.

“We can’t wait too long.

Earlier in the year they complained about the weather that they couldn’t get down into the bottoms. With the Fall rains coming on, you’re going to have the same conditions down there again.

They should have done this when it was good weather.

We need some way of jacking these people up,” Don Swan, Steering Committee member, said.

“I think if the wells were drilled, you’d see more production of the lines going into the ground too. It would be more incentive for them,” President Curt Robeen , jr., agreed.

Both Pittsburg Tank and Tower and Widman Trucking, which are the other companies the Rural Water District is contracting with, also had the same problem with IDOT. Heneghan did not know what could be done. The companies have until February to complete their jobs. If the job is not done by then, a $200 per day fine will be charged to the company for not being complete.

“They have the right to complete the job as they see fit. We’ve told them and told them that we’re anxious to get things going, but it doesn’t seem to phase them too much. They keep making one excuse after another,” Heneghan said.

Before the water is truned on, everything has to be tested and approved.

Rural Water Board member Emil Herter will check with IDOT about their regulations. Herter thinks that the load limit for the Joe Page Bridge is 72,280 pounds, which is more than the drilling rig would weigh.

Elizabeth Graham suggested that Jimmy Carter be sent in to straighten out this matter. This brought many chuckles to the group.

50 Years Ago September 25, 1969 On August 30, 1969, the President declared a major disaster under Public Law 875, 81st Congress, as amended, in the following counties in Illinois which were adversely affected by heavy rains and flooding, beginning on or about June 29, 1969; Alexander, Calhoun, Clinton, Jackson, Jersey, Madison, Monroe, Pike, Pulaski, Randolph, Saint Clair and Union.

Accordingly, under authority of Section 7(b)(2) of the Small Business Act, Mr. John

said. “I think they will see a difference and appreciate it. I hope it’s a game-changer for some of the families working from home.”

While the schools currently utilize laptops and other electronic devices at the schools, they have made sure to keep online homework to a minimum to account for slower internet speeds in the county.

“It’s frustrating if you don’t (have good internet),” she said. “You are wasting valuable instructional time.”

The installation is slated to be done by the end of the calendar year and will be a welcomed greeting in the classroom for returning students and teachers.

The fiber optic cables were one of a number of upgrades including lighting and water softener upon which action was taken. The board has also updated extracurricular policies, discussed school fundraisers and agreed to a multi-year agreement for trap shooting.

Pfeffer, Regional Director of the Small Business Administration, Regional Office, Federal Building, 208 North Broadway, St. Louis, Mo., has announced that application for necessary and appropriate disaster loans will be accepted from eligible small business concerns, within the designated counties, which have suffered substantial economic injury as a result of such natural disaster.

Such loans may be made directly through the Small Business Administration, or in participation with banks or other lending institutions on an immediate participation or guaranteed basis.

Proceeds of any loan made shall be used solely to effect relief from economic injury attributable to the disaster and in most instances the amount of the loan to be considered will be determined by the needs of the applicant in fulfilling his requirements and loan purposes for the most part will be confined to workin capital for continued operations.

Amount and maturity of the loans will be determined in light of the individual circumstances of the applicant and ability to repay. Interest chargeable may vary from 3% on Small Business Administration’s share of the loan, to not more than 8% on a bank participation or guaranteed loan.

75 Years Ago September, 28, 1944 Missing in action over Germany since Sept. 13, is Sgt. Aloys Suhling, son of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Suhling of Hillcrest, who was a gunner on an army bomber. He had 30 missions per week.

He has been overseas since July 19.

Sgt. Suhling took his A.M. training at Keesler Field, Mississippi; his gunnery training at Laredo, Texas, flight training at Ardmore, Okla.

He picked up his plane at Karney, Nebr. to go overseas.

He as 20 years old last May. His parents received a telegram from the War Department Tuesday notifying them

their son was missing since a raid on Germany Sept. 13.

The News joins the Suhlings’ many friends in sympathizing with them and trusting Aloys is safe.

100 Years Ago September 25, 1919 John Byrd, an apple grower of the Oak Grove neighborhood, while in town Monday called at the News office and presented the publishers an apple.

There is nothing strange or out of the ordinary about this, especially at this time of the year when apples in the ‘Kingdom’ are as plentiful as they now are, but the peculiar thing about this one apple, a Willow Twig by name, is that it is a last year’s apple. Mr. Byrd gathered this apple from his orchard twelve months ago and it, along with other members of the same variety, were placed in his cellar.

The apple was as sound as a dollar and not one part of the flavor had disappeared.

These two facts- the keeping quality and the everlasting tasting quality, are what draws the many foreign apple buyers to our doors who pay big prices for our fruit. It has been said by some of the leading apple buyers that there is no place that apples compare with Calhoun fruit when it comes to the keeping and tasting qualities.

Again, the News insists that the apple men of the ‘Kingdom’ of Calhoun hold fast to their orchards, selling not buy in adjoining counties thinking that perhaps they are bettering themselves. remember this, once and for all, that no better investment can be made than in Calhoun orchard land. Take the second thought, we advise our readers, before disposing of your Calhoun apple orchard for other land. If land in other places is so good and profitable, why is there so much of it on the market?

There is, no doubt some bargains in land buys but we caution our folks to look well to the ‘big red Calhoun county apple’ and to think twice before selling.

By JARAD JARMON Calhoun News-Herald The Brussels School Board accepted a balanced budget at their meeting Tuesday, Sept 17, according to the district superintendent.

Brussels Superintendent Mark Martin said the board approved the budget, which sits at roughly $1.8 million in revenue and roughly $1.7 million in expenses.

Martin pointed out in a presentation ahead of the meeting that several expenses had key impacts on the budget this time around.

Most notably, the district had to adjust for the 3-year teaching contracts made in preparation for the state-mandated increases to teacher salaries in the coming years. Other employees like custodians are also going to be seeing a pay raise.

At the same time, Martin said faculty and staff had retired and come in to the district changing figures in the budget.

Martin said adjustments in the budget

had to also be accounted for regarding the new HVAC systems in the district.

The new systems runs on electricity and propane and not fuel as it has. So now, electricity expenses have gone up while fuel expenses have dropped.

In other business, the board approved Wayne Vogel as the seventh-grade, eighthgrade boys basketball coach. Martin said he is a parent with previous personal experience with basketball, but has not been a coach.

“He is passionate about basketball, and really wants to contribute,” Martin said.

Also at the meeting, special recognition was given to those that performed in the Shakespearean play, “Love at the River’s Edge,” a production done partly in St. Louis and Brussels. Congratulations were given specifically to those in the district who played a role in the play including Megan Steward, Andrew Heffington, Olivia Brodbeck, Haylee Cress and Ellie Nolte.

Happy Birthday Corner

Present for the afternoon were his grandparents Shelly and Dennis Scherer, great grandma Carol Sue Carnes, Aunt Cyndi Axford, Madison and MacKenzie, Uncle John and Aunt Julie Carnes and Caleb, along with friends of the couple. Lots of delicious food and a wonderful afternoon together. The beautifully baked and decorated birthday cake made of cupcakes in the form of a three with train tracks and miniature trains on top was made by his mom. Sam is the son of Daniel Holdinghausen and Brittney Kirn.

Hardin, Illinois

By KRIS SCHEFFEL Calhoun News-Herald Old-time country will fill the air once again at the annual Country Jamboree on Oct. 5 in Kampsville.

Proceeds from the event will go to funding the Calhoun Entertainment Company’s spring production of “Peter Pan.�

Jerry Sievers, director of the Calhoun Entertainment Company, said the Jamboree is how they support the musicals every year. “(Musicals) usually cost more than they bring,� he said.

The Country Jamboree has been a popular event bringing more and more people each year. The event used to take place in St. Anselm Church in Hardin, but the numbers of those wishing to see the show quickly outgrew the available space.

Now the event it held in the old Kampsville Gym, also known as the Center for American Archaeology.

The change in venue has also meant the Jamboree has had to change dates from the summer to the fall to accommodate a lack of air conditioning. Last year, the Jamboree saw an audience of roughly 300. “(The change) makes it hard to put the Jamboree on

Adelaide celebrates 3rd birthday Adelaide Renee Keppler celebrated her third birthday on Saturday, July 20, at her home in Wentzville. The theme of her party was the Disney Princesses. In attendance were her grandparents Shelly and Dennis Scherer, great grandmother Carol Sue Carnes, brother Noah Keppler, Aunt Cyndi Axford and Uncle John Carnes, along with friends Ben Ketcherside and daughters Jaymie and Joanie and Duane and Michelle Ketcherside. Everyone enjoyed the delicious food and Princess birthday cake and the great afternoon together.

Addy is the daughter of Ashley Keppler of Wentzville and Tom Keppler of Lake St. Louis.

Feeling Social?

with so many other events on,� Sievers said.

The musical performances are all done for free by local volunteers. “It’s like an old Hee-Haw show,� said Sievers. “It’s a lot of old-time country with a lot of humor thrown in.�

It’s the kind of music that you can only listen to on the radio, Sievers said. “The older generations grew up with the old-time country,� he said. “(That’s) what we try to provide.�

Food, such as brats, hot dogs and sloppy joes, and drink will be available at the event.

The Jamboree will be raising money for the Spring production of “Peter Pan.�

The musicals are an annual event, but last year’s production of the “Little Mermaid� was disrupted by last spring’s flooding. Sievers hopes to raise enough money this year to hire a professional flying company to bring the story of Peter Pan to life.

The Jamboree will feature what Sievers describes as “side-splitting jokes, pretty good musicians and soloists,� and it will take place on Oct. 5 at 7 p.m.

Tickets are priced at $15.

To make reservations, call Sarah Kinder at 618-8832089.

Wednesday, September 25, 2019

Calhoun News-Herald

Illinois fall trout season opens soon The 2019 Illinois Fall Trout Fishing Season opens Saturday, Oct. 19 at 57 ponds, lakes and streams throughout the state.

An early opportunity at select trout sites – the Fall Catch-and-Release Fishing Season – will open Oct. 5 at select locations in the list below. No trout may be kept during the catch and release fishing period, but anglers can keep trout after the opening of the regular season beginning Oct. 19.

The Illinois catchable trout program is funded by those who use the program through the sale of Inland Trout Stamps and through the Illinois Fish Management Fund.

The IDNR has added one new site for Fall Trout Fishing in 2019 – Kaufman Lake in Champaign – maintaining the stocking of rainbow trout to 67,000 fish in the fall season. Rock Springs Pond in Decatur will be temporarily removed from stocking due to a maintenance project at that site.

No trout may be taken from any of the stocked sites from Oct. 1 until the fall trout season opens at 5:00 a.m. Oct. 19. Anyone attempting to take (harvest) trout before the legal harvest season opening will be issued citations.

All anglers — including those who intend to release fish caught before Oct. 19 — must have a valid fishing license and an Inland Trout Stamp, unless they are under the age of 16, blind or disabled, or are an

Health Department to confront domestic violence in October October is National Domestic Violence Awareness Month, and Calhoun County Health Department is trying to help break the cycle by giving voices to domestic violence victims in Illinois.

Domestic violence doesn’t discriminate. It can happen to anyone, from any background, regardless of age, race, sexual orientation, income, education, or gender.

While physical abuse is usually the first thing to come to mind when discussing domestic violence, there are other more insidious forms, such as verbal abuse, social isolation, and exerting control over finances. Domestic violence is about power, and the ability to control the victim, using whatever means are available.

People currently live in a world where 1 in 3 women, and 1 in 7 men are victims of domestic violence. Sometimes the results of the punches can be seen, but it’s more difficult to see the damage

left by humiliation, stalking, threats and someone being told they’re stupid and worthless so many times they start believing it.

For the entire month of October, in front of the Health Department we will be displaying silhouettes of victims of domestic abuse.

The silhouettes were created by Jen Fanning, and represent real victims of domestic violence in our state. The silhouettes will each be holding a shield with his or her own story. This project, which we are calling “Silent No More”, is something we intend to do every October.

Please visit display, pick up some information about domestic violence, and help us give a voice to those who need our help. Join organizers in supporting survivors, honoring those who didn’t survive, and keeping the conversations going, not just through October, but throughout the entire year.
