Update on mitigation of floods, other disasters coming soon

By JARAD JARMON Calhoun News-Herald People have been calling for solutions for future flood mitigation following this year’s flooding, and local leaders are said to be working on updating a mitigation plan to address just that in an upcoming meeting.

Calhoun County will update its plan to reduce the damages caused by natural hazards such as floods, thunderstorms with damaging winds or hail, snow and ice storms, tornados,

drought and excessive heat, among others, an Emergency Services and Disaster Agency news release reads.

“The goal of this plan update is to identify projects and activities that will reduce the impacts to residents and property from natural hazard events,” Gene Breden, Calhoun County Emergency Services and Disaster Agency coordinator said. “We already have an emergency response plan, but this mitigation plan is different because it focuses on ways to reduce and prevent damages before

they occur.”

This plan, called a Natural Hazard Mitigation Plan, must be updated every five years and is funded through a grant from the Federal Emergency Management Agency. The Calhoun County Hazard Mitigation Planning Committee will head up this project, and their first meeting to update this plan has been scheduled for 7 p.m.

Sept. 17 at the Calhoun High School, 101 Calhoun Drive in Hardin.

The committee is comprised of county and municipal representatives

By KRIS SCHEFFEL Calhoun News-Herald The Calhoun County Volunteer Ambulance Service is hosting a basics class for Emergency Medical Technicians (EMTs) beginning Thursday, Sept. 19 from 6:30-9:30 p.m.

The course will cover information related to working as an EMT in one of the county’s three ambulances. Calhoun’s emergency services are entirely composed of volunteers, with classes put on annually as a means of recruiting much-needed help.

Wanda Blackwell, coordinator of the Volunteer Ambulance Service for Calhoun, stressed the importance of having EMTs available within the county, noting that Calhoun’s ambulance service is one of only a few volunteer services remaining. As the state passes more mandates, the ability to sustain volunteer services is becoming more difficult, she said.

Calhoun’s ability to provide emergency services for the county relies almost entirely on memorial donations made by the people of Calhoun. Such donations are used to maintain the small fleet of ambulances numbering three

as well as technical partners and stakeholders, according to the release. They will meet over the next several months to update the plan. These meetings, like the one on Sept. 17, will act as working sessions so any interested resident can attend and ask questions.

in total.

In past years, the Calhoun Volunteer Ambulance Service has faced a shortage of volunteers with roughly 10 to 11 individuals signing up for the class. However, this year has been notably worse because of the disruption caused by the floods.

With some leaving the community as a result, this year’s volunteer turnout is predicted to be less than usual. Blackwell noted that it “takes a special person to be a volunteer.”

During her 20 years of experience with the service, Blackwell emphasized the importance of the services for such residents.

“If we don’t have a volunteer in the county at that time, we have to call the closest hospital in Carrollton or Jerseyville,” she said.

Those hospitals are facing their own resource strains, making Calhoun dependent on the availability of ambulances at these hospitals if their own services are unavailable. Even with permitted resources, however, it takes an additional 20 to 30 minutes for those ambulances to reach Calhoun County, she said. This is (See, AMBULANCE, A2)

Illinois 96 restricted to one-lane traffic

By KRIS SCHEFFEL Calhoun News-Herald The bridge west of Kampsville on IL-96 has been restricted to one lane of traffic starting Sept. 3 as workers begin to make repairs to the bridge.

Plans to replace the deck of the bridge were slightly postponed because of flooding.

Work on the bridge is expected to be completed by the end of the year. The deck will be

replaced in stages, one side at a time, according to John Adcock, supervising field engineer with the project.

Two way traffic will be maintained via a temporary traffic light.

According to a news release from the Illinois Department of Transportation, drivers are encouraged to reduce speeds, obey construction signage and remain alert when driving through the area, allowing for extra time in doing so.

Struggles over post-flood cleanup in Hardin mount ©2019

CALHOUN NEWS-HERALD All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten or redistributed.

By KRIS SCHEFFEL Calhoun News-Herald The cleanup is ever-present following the 2019 flood as residents of Hardin are left grappling with the removal of flood debris and tens of thousands of sandbags.

The Village of Hardin last week in a press release warned residents that if the sandbags were not removed by Sept. 22, they would be considered non-compliant, issued a warning and potentially receive a fine.

For locals, that is a concern.

Property owners such as Colin King of Mel’s Riverdock Restaurant are worried about their ability to complete what they consider a monumental task without help from the county or the state.

At the restaurant are tall stacks of sandbags, many beginning to disintegrate, lining the front entrance and the parking lot. King described the predicament of many in the community, stating that there are “a lot of people who can’t afford anything.”

The sandbags surrounding many of the homes and businesses in the area were not provided by the state but rather purchased by residents at a cost of about a thousand dollars, City Clerk Danielle Hurley said.

Now, the city is asking these same residents to provide the labor or the

funding for the removal of these sandbags, which may reach costs between $1,000 to $2,000.

For some, particularly the elderly, the ability to remove the sandbags on their own is an impossibility, Hurley indicated.

“They are on their own,” Hurley said.

The Environmental Protection Agency considers sandbags that came into contact with the floodwaters as contaminated. The distinction between contaminated and uncontaminated sandbags is left vague, and as such, leaves many wary of making that distinction themselves.

To properly remove these contaminated sandbags, residents either have to dispose of the sandbags in a designated landfill or burn site.

“I just want them gone,” King said.

However, the process is tedious, particularly for those unable to afford the costs of removal.

Hurley referred to her removal process as “painstakingly slow” with she and her husband loading up their truck by hand to complete the process. She estimated that it has already been three weeks since they began their cleanup.

With the Sept. 22 deadline looming, Hurley compared the experience of this flood to that of ‘93, noting the absence of the Corps of Engineers and a lack of funding all around.

Illinois not ready for impact of legal cannabis r e n n u R e Ridg

By BILL HOAGLAND The new law in Illinois authorizing the possession and sale of marijuana for recreational purposes was signed into law on June 25, 2019. This law, known as “The Cannabis Regulation and Tax Act”; legalizes possession and sales of recreational marijuana in Illinois as of January 1, 2020.

Illinois is now the eleventh state to legalize the possession and sale of marijuana for recreational purposes.

Unfortunately, Illinois is not currently prepared to deal with a very important public safety issue that will exist as of January 1, 2020; that issue is how to accurately test motorists who have been using marijuana to determine if their driving skills are impaired.

Most Illinois drivers are familiar with the rules regarding driving while under the influence of alcohol. If your blood alcohol level is .08, you are presumed to be “driving under the influence”. This can easily be determined by a breathalyzer test administered roadside or if necessary, by a blood test administered at police headquarters.

And most drivers who drink alcohol know or should know that more than four alcoholic drinks per hour will put you over that .08 threshold.

Overall, this strict standard in Illinois has kept a lot of drunk drivers off the roads. I, personally, know lots of folks who no longer drive after having more than the proverbial “couple of beers” because of this strict standard.

But unfortunately, the methods traditionally used

to test drunk drivers will not work to accurately test drivers who have been using marijuana to determine if they are impaired. To back up a bit first, the new Illinois law provides in essence that if a suspected driver has a concentration of five or more nanograms of THC (delta9-tetrahydrocannabinol) per millimeter as determined in a whole blood test, there is a rebuttable presumption that the driver is driving under the influence of drugs.

If a suspected driver has between three and five nanograms of THC, however, there is a rebuttable presumption that the driver is not driving under the influence of drugs, meaning that the prosecution could still offer evidence of impairment to sustain a conviction if they wanted to pursue it. Anything less than three nanograms is apparently irrelevant.

For a lot of reasons, it is now generally recognized that blood levels of THC in a particular individual are not directly correlated to whether that driver is impaired. In fact, there is some basis to think that even the five nanograms of THC as a threshold for driving under the influence of drugs is without scientific merit and may someday be challenged as being unconstitutional.

To further complicate things, the tests other than a blood test that are routinely given to determine if the driver is over the 5 nanograms threshold—the breath test, the saliva test, the urine test and the mouth swab— are also unreliable for a lot of reasons, which we don’t have time or space to go into today. The result of this

C H R O N IC L E S

is that currently, the most reliable “test” seems to be the so-called 12-step roadside evaluation in, which the driver is asked to perform a number of physical and mental functions.

In Colorado, for example, where they have been dealing with this issue for a while now, police still rely heavily on this roadside test to determine impairment.

And to assist in that testing, certain police personnel, referred to as “Drug Recognition Experts” are specifically trained to recognize drug impairment.

These persons are routinely called to the scene of a traffic stop to make that determination if drugs appear to be involved. Obviously, this is a very subjective matter and frankly, any criminal defense lawyer worth his salt should normally be able to obtain a not guilty verdict under those circumstances.

So where do we stand in Illinois when possession under the new cannabis law becomes legal on Jan. 1?

How will the police determine if a motorist is driving under the influence of marijuana to the point that they are impaired? At this point, no one really seems to know for sure. The Act created a commission, known as the “DUI Cannabis Task Force”, to study the problem and to make recommendations to the Governor by July 1, 2020, on how to deal

with the issue.

That means that there still might not be an acceptable means of testing by July 1 of next year. And until then, the police will need to rely on whatever tests that they can render—even the personal observation test— to make a case of driving under the influence of drugs; frankly, the conviction rate is probably going to be low until they can come up with a more accurate means of testing.

Maybe until a new and effective roadside blood test, saliva test or urine test is devised, all traffic stops in which drugged driving is suspected should be videotaped, particularly that part of the testing procedure when the driver is asked to perform the required 12-step evaluation.

That would seem to remove some of the subjective factors that will plague getting convictions for driving under the influence of drugs.

Everything has value including you I’ve always prided myself on trying anything once.

Now that doesn’t mean that I throw all caution to the wind and do things like swim with alligators, but generally I’m game for giving something a first shot.

This especially goes for food unless its worms, bugs, and slugs. That’s where I draw the line.

Over the years I’ve made my way through the lines of many wild game dinners.

I’ve eaten everything from turtle to buffalo. I’ve also tasted my share of seafood. I love crab legs, but I’ve also tried a few squid as well.

And then there’s the common pig.

everything but the squeal. If you can’t fry it then pickle it and somebody will eat it.

I’d just like to have been with the first person who cut a pig’s ear off and said, “I wonder what that tastes like?” The good thing about all of this is that nothing is going to waste and that all parts are deemed important.

As I sit in my chair at my computer, I look at the wall in front of me. There in a frame is a turkey feather. Not the turkey but a feather of the turkey; and not one of the long beautiful tail feathers but one of the shorter, less attractive ones.

What makes this feather of value is that someone has painted a beautiful picture of a gobbler in full strut right in the middle of it. They

After a draft of the updated plan is prepared, a public forum will take place to present the plan for review and comment. The draft will be revised based on comments from the public as well as state and federal agencies. Following these revisions, the plan will be presented for adoption at public meetings held by the county and at each of the participating municipality.

Sometimes we think our contribution to mankind is of no value. We think because our worth or beauty is not seen immediately, it must not be very important. That couldn’t be further from truth.

Nothing God has created is meant to go to waste. He has given all of us worth. He has deemed all of us important. Some in life may be considered part of the plumage. They may, seemingly, be more beautiful and noticeable than others. But tell me what would that old tom do if he had all his long beau-

efforts following the ’93 flooding.

The Great Flood of ’93 sparked a flurry of ideas designed to mitigate flooding in the area or, at least, ensure the floodwaters that do come do not impact the area so drastically as it did in the ’93 flood. However time passed, and few preventative steps were put in place to help, and residents found themselves in an almost identical position as in ’93 minus the quick state and national support.

This year, the flood made it so there was only one entry out of the county, a major frustration for commuters and others traveling out of the county. This major road, located north, bottlenecked activity in the county. If

Changes to the Medicare Plan Finder Tool Each year, we encourage people with Medicare to review their plan choices (prescription drug plans, Medicare Advantage plans) and decide if they would like to change plans for the upcoming year. Medicare plans, especially prescription drug plans, can change quite a bit from year to year.

Plan premiums, calendar year deductibles, drug co-pays, drug coverage, and in and out-of-network pharmacy contracts are all subject to change. Just in time for Open Enrollment, Medicare has changed the look and function of their online “Plan Finder� tool.

These changes will impact people who work with our office to research their plan choices and those who use this service at home. While quite a few changes are “cosmetic� and designed to make the information easier to see, the biggest change involves accessing your personal, or “tailored� information.

In previous years, we could get to your saved prescription drug list and see your current plan coverage details by entering your Medicare claim number and a few other personal details. Your prescription drug information wasn’t saved with the change to the new system, so the prescriptions will have to be re-entered

In order to get to your current coverage, we will have to create an online “My Medicare� account for you. From what we understand at this point, this will involve creating a user name and password. An email address is optional.

Here’s the kicker: if the zip code we enter doesn’t match what’s on file with Medicare, we cannot continue with this process. Fortunately, we can use the basic function to look at plans, but it won’t display your current plan coverage and might make comparing plans a bit tougher.

So, what does this mean for you?

First, be sure you updated your address with Social Security or Medicare. A lot of people did this when the new 911 addresses were issued.

Make sure you have your new Medicare card: we won’t be able to use the old ones.

Second, update your prescription drug list with all of the details: name, dosage, and how often you take it. All those little numbers and letters on the labels make a difference.

Third, be prepared for your appointment to take a little longer. We want to make sure that we provide the best possible information to you so that you can make an informed choice.

Fourth, be patient with the new process. Trust us, we’re a little frustrated with the timing and nature of these changes, too.

The silver lining?

The loss of milkweed means a loss for this critical migratory generation.

Okay, so you are probably thinking, I’m being a bit dramatic about a ditch being mowed. I can step back from the situation and agree this is not the end of the world. Plus, maybe there was some purpose of mowing that I am missing. Perhaps to control an invasive plant. However, when you consider that before European settlement Illinois had 22 million acres of prairie, and now we have less than 10,000 acres, these patches of habitat for the living things that were here before us, are very precious.

When teaching classes that deal with the subject of urban or agricultural areas and wildlife habitat, I often get the response, “So what?� “Those are just weeds.� And “You can’t eat that stuff.�

Understandably, not all see or ever will agree on the value of habitat. My reasoning to advocate for habitat follows the tenant of ecology that emphasizes the value of biodiversity. Life on the prairie (and the entire planet) is resilient because we have such a diversity of living things. These are natural systems that humans need for breathable air, clean water, and healthy soil to grow our food. On the flip side, Earth’s living systems generally show less resiliency when there is low diversity.

Going from 22 million

acres of prairie to less than 10,000 acres is an incredible amount. When you consider that the monarch butterfly, and so many other species, continue to persevere despite being on the brink of extinction, it shows how tough our prairie species truly are.

It is not all despair. There is certainly hope for humans and the wild things of this world to exist side-by-side.

If we take the time to educate our young generations on the value of wildlife and plants. That food doesn’t come from the grocery aisle or heat from the furnace.

Human life is rooted in the natural processes of this planet. We cannot escape that.

Aldo Leopold says it best, “The objective is to teach the students to see the land, to understand what they see, and to enjoy what they understand.� Our charge is to instill a land ethic in those that will shape the future.

Trouble Finding A Pharmacy?

Value in biodiversity cannot be overstated Last year I wrote an article on silphiums. Silphiums are a grouping of wildflowers native to the tallgrass prairie of the Midwest, with stalks of yellow flowers that you see standing tall over all other plants, often in a ditch or reconstructed prairie. This time of year, late summer, is a good time to enjoy the show of the silphiums. I was inspired to write that article by a stretch of Highway 336, traveling south of the town where I live. In 2018, that stretch of road was awash with yellow flowering plants, much of them were compass plant (Silphium laciniatum) and prairie dock (Silphium terebinthinaceum). The yellows were complemented by the lingering purple coneflower and emerging blooms of fall aster.

This year mid-August in 2019, when traveling on my normal route down Highway 336, I was met with dismay as the entire stretch of roadside wildflowers, for miles and miles, had been mowed down. This year, there will be no blooms.

Most of these wildflowers will not have the chance to go to seed, giving the grasses a competitive edge, meaning fewer flowers in the coming years.

This mowing also removed large patches of milkweed. Right now, the final generation of monarch butterflies for this year are completing their lifecycle on milkweeds in Illinois.

Loving God and Neighbor Rull Brothers

“And he has given us this command: Anyone who loves God must also love their brother and sister.�

1 John 4:21 NIV

Hardin, IL

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

T

he requirement to love your neighbor as yourself is second only to the duty to love God. When a pharisee asked Jesus which of the commandments is the greatest, Jesus responded, “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment.

And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.�

(Matthew 22:37-40 NIV) This makes things very simple: Love God and love your neighbor. We don’t have to look hard to find opportunities to do this. In every interaction with our friends and family we have the opportunity to show love. Likewise, with our

co-workers and schoolmates, and the people we meet in the street, there are always opportunities to demonstrate our love. Do this by being kind and forgiving of others.

Tell others how much you appreciate them and treat them with tenderness and respect. Show your love of God by loving your neighbor. There is nothing greater you can do. – Christopher Simon

The whole family, and Roger and Rachel Woelfel and girls, and Martha and Lindy Bick enjoyed a fish fry together at their home on Labor Day. Linda Russell visited Jeremy Russell and the girls at their home in Alton. The girls started school last week, so they had a lot to tell her.

The Morning Breaks A morning dove calls softly, Calls in plaintive note . . .

A robin stirs and twitters Clears it’s sleepy throat.

Leaves on the trees stir gently Day begins to peep . . .

And softly nature wakens From her restful sleep.

Lift your eyes while care forsakes In the east the morning breaks. — Gail Elder James

CALHOUN HIGH SCHOOL

25 Years Ago September 7, 1994 James and Margaret Anne Ringhausen have been chosen as the 1994 Calhounn County Fair Parade Grand Marshalls. They have been long time promoters of the fair through their work with the school children’s educational exhibits, the Lions Club and American Legion.

Another request was made for a building permit for a clubhouse on the U.S. Army Corps of Engineer property in the Deer Plain Subdivision at the Thursday, September 1, Calhoun County Board of Commissioners’ meeting.

Tracey Giedeman, representing her mother, Evelyn, claimed the structure was not damaged substantially.

Giedeman admitted that the water was not over the roof, but it was pretty high.

50 Years Ago September 4, 1969 The harvesting of Calhoun apples begins this week with Jonathans being the first to be picked. Lodi and Wealthy have been picked during August.. It is reported by several growers that the apples this year are of very fine quality, the cool nights in August causing the fruit to

color beautifully.

Mr. and Mrs. William Whitworth are announcing the marriage of their daughter, Sylvia to William Charlton at the Presbyterian Church in Hardin at 8 o’clock p.m. Aug. 29, 1969, by Rev. J O. Jarrell, pastor. Mrs. Wilbur Anderson played processional and recessional music for the ceremony. Following the ceremony the wedding party and immediate members of the family went to Wittmond Hotel for a reception.

75 Years Ago September 7, 1944 Pvt. Wesley Johnson, who was home on leave from the army visiting his wife in Hardin, accidentally shot off two fingers of his hand when a shotgun which he was examining went off. He was taken to Jefferson Barracks hospital for medical treatment. Pvt. Johnson had been in the army only two months.

Last week nine trainer airplanes from Scott Field flew over Hardin. These planes have single motors, but the noise the nine made was tremendous. We were trying to imagine just how 1000 four motored bombers must

sound when they fly over a town or city. Add this noise to the detonations made by dropping bombs and the anti-aircraft gunfire and you probably have volumes of noise and sound beyond imagination.

100 Years Ago September 4, 1919 Miss Myrtle Dierking, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. F.H. Dierking of Kampsville, returned to her home last Saturday, after an absence of two years, which she spent in France as a Red Cross nurse.

As far as we know Miss Dierking has the distinction of being the only trained nurse from Calhoun County to go to France and render her assistance to our boys who suffered, bled and died while the terrible world’s war raged.

The Brussels baseball team won two games the past week. The first game last Saturday was taken from the strong Overland Park team of St. Louis and the second one was taken last Sunday from the Alton Turners. Score in first game 13-7, second game 6-4.. Both games showed the superiority of Brussels over their rivals.

Seeking freelance reporters and photographers for local news and events coverage Campbell Publications is seeking to build up a base of freelance reporters and photographers to help cover local news and events happening throughout #ALHOUN County.

As a freelance reporter, a strong voice and some experience would be helpful. Pristine spelling and grammar are essential, as is the ability to shape stories and present both sides of an issue.

Freelance photographers would need to provide their own equipment for coverage and have experience taking candid photos at events as well as portraits and other shots as needed. You would be expected to be comfortable interacting with the public, gaining permissions to photograph subjects when required, to capture complete and accurate information regarding subject matter, and to write interesting captions to accompany their photos.

The ability to adhere to deadlines is equally important to either position, as is to remain unbiased and respectful to all members of the community.

Work would be on an as needed basis. Pay is monthly, by the article or photo, and is only provided for those articles or photos published. Published works become the property of Campbell Publications.

Interested candidates should send the following to jcjnews@ campbellpublications.net: a resume, short cover letter describing your interest and experience, and six clips of/links to published articles or photographs of varying subject matters.

Welcome, baby Olivia

Do not ask if we miss you, There is such an empty place.

Days of sadness still over us, Tears in silence often flow.

Memory keeps you always near us, Though you left us 26 years ago.

Always missed by Mom and Dad, Brother and Sisters and Grandmother

Hardin, Illinois

ISP announce results of alcohol patrols Litchfield – Illinois State Police (ISP) District 18 Commander, Mark Gillock, announces the results of Alcohol Countermeasure Enforcement (ACE) patrols in Jersey County during August. These ACE patrols allowed the ISP to focus on preventing, detecting, and taking enforcement action in response to violations associated with impaired driving and illegal transportation or consumption of alcohol or drugs.

Activity for each violation is: Driving Under the Influence (DUI) Citations, 0 Other Alcohol/Drug Citations, 1 Occupant Restraint Offenses, 2

Registration Offenses, 4 Driver’s License Offenses, 3 Insurance Violations, 4 Total Citations/Arrests, 18 Total Written Warnings, 24 Alcohol and drug impairment is a factor in more than 30 percent of all fatal motor vehicle crashes in Illinois. There is one alcohol-related traffic fatality every 53 minutes in the United States. The ACE program allows officers to work even harder at removing dangerous DUI offenders from the road. This project is funded through the Illinois Department of Transportation.

Senior Stone Zirkelbach runs the ball for the Calhoun Warriors at their first game of the 2019 season Friday against the Beardstown Tigers.

Calhoun scores late, drops opener to Beardstown

By MARK HILLEN Calhoun News-Herald Calhoun sought some momentum late in the game, and they gained that with a touchdown plunge from sophomore fullback Brody Caselton in the final minute of the fourth quarter.

Beardstown and the host Warriors battled on an unseasonably cool and rainy night to kick off the 2019 season last Friday and the visiting Tigers went away victorious with a 30-6 score.

Calhoun’s plan to keep the ball out of Beardstown’s hands was evident from the start, as the Warriors recovered an onside kick. Beardstown returns most of its skill players from a team that shared the WIVC north title in 2018 with 1A quarterfinalist Triopia and 1A state runner-up Camp Point Central.

The leader of that pack is Division I recruit Pascal Guilavogui. Guilavogui shared the ball mostly with fellow senior Avery Quigley. Guilavogui scored on runs of 6 and 55 yards while Quigley scored on a 74-yard run in the fourth quarter to cap the scoring for Beardstown. Senior Braden Oest put the Tigers on the board in the first quarter with a 6-yard run 7 minutes and 32 seconds into the contest.

Offensively, Calhoun’s game plan was

to play ball control offense. After recovering the opening onside kick, Calhoun could muster little movement and punted on their first possession. Calhoun did manage to put together a nice drive in the second quarter before it stalled out in the red zone.

The ball was spread between Caselton (23 carries for 56 yards), junior quarterback Corey Nelson (7 carriers for 9 yards), sophomore halfback Mason Pherigo (10 carries for 27 yards), and senior halfback Stone Zirkelbach (8 carries for 44 yards) throughout the night. Nelson and Zirkelbach connected on three passing plays for 54 yards through the air for the Calhoun offense on the night.

The game plan of ball control was effective, limiting a much touted Beardstown offense to 30 points on the night, but in the end, there were not enough conversions on third down for the Calhoun offense to keep the chains moving and the Beardstown offense off the field.

Calhoun plays at Triopia in a week 2 match that will feature two programs in need of a win. Triopia is coming off a quarterfinal season, but graduated a large class of seniors. Calhoun gained valuable experience with their opening week experience and look to use the momentum from the late score against Beardstown to start fast against the Trojans.
