Census addressed at commissioners meeting By CONNOR ASHLOCK Calhoun News-Herald
Mr. B still embraced in community’s prayers. 6HH SDJH A8
SEPTEMBER 9, 2020
he Calhoun commissioners met last Thursday, where the commissioners discussed the 2020 Census with Gordon Wayman, who works for the Census Bureau and oversees the operation in Calhoun County. The self-response rate for the county, as of Thursday, was at 43.9 percent, which does not account for those who completed their census form online. Presently, enumerators are going door-to-door in the county, ensuring that everyone completes their census form before the deadline at the end of this month. Wayman shared that there might be various reasons for individuals not having completed their form already,
including not entering their census identification number or losing their internet connection. Another reason for the low response rate might be attributed to issues relating to 911 addresses. “I know there’s an issue with 911 addresses and older addresses,� Wayman said. “That will all be fixed when they do quality control.� Quality control work takes place during the last three months of the year, which is why the census deadline is set for September. The commissioners expressed concerns over dwellings within the county, as not all are inhabited throughout the year, such as cottages and clubhouses, and whether or not that figured into the low percentage. Wayman said that, initially, census workers establish where the dwellings are then perform an update by leaving a flyer at a structure’s door with a survey. “That was done several months ago, so they should have weeded out sev-
eral of the homes,� Wayman said. Now, enumerators are going around the county with devices that tell them which homes have not yet responded. They will also be seeking to maintain an active presence in the community, making themselves immediately available to help residents complete their survey. Assuming that internet is readily accessible, enumerators will be present at the Calhoun Entertainment Company’s presentation of Peter Pan this weekend, where they also plan to pass out literature. Also at the meeting, by unanimous vote, the commissioners employed the services of the Code Red telephonic information system at an annual cost of $2,500. With the purchase of this service, the county will now have unlimited messaging for emergency and non-emergency updates to keep citizens and civic leaders informed of occurrences affecting the county through text messaging,
email and telephone transmission. Commissioner Doug Wilschetz shared that the board was indebted to Jack Moses for informing them of this opportunity, as the county was in desperate need of a more reliable means of cross-county communication. “During the Flood of 2019, there were daily briefings and a lot of information being shared, but people who participated in local government — they still had jobs that made them travel, and staying up-to-date with what was going on in the county was hard,� Wilschetz said. “We knew we needed a way to improve broadcasting information across the county.� Code Red is affiliated with the One Call Now telephonic communication system, which the board was at one time considering, but have since found that it wasn’t as suited for the needs of county and municipal government as Code Red is.

By JARAD JARMON Calhoun News-Herald Robbie Longnecker could cite his health as a driving factor in his final decision to retire, but at the end of the day, he says it was simply time to pass the torch. “It was just time for me to back away let somebody else take over,� Longnecker said. After a little more than three decades, Longnecker, the long-time owner of Longenecker’s Tavern chose to retire from the bar business, handing the reigns over to his nephew, Casey Longnecker, and his nephew’s friends, Sean and Hannah Nelson. It was in 1988 when Robbie purchased the bar, which, at the time, was named after owners Gary and Mary Ann Gress, and now Robbie, is handing down what has become a regionally-known bar. Before purchasing the bar, Robbie did not have other employment at the time and was a regular in the bar, helping tend bar once or twice a week. So, when the moment arose to purchase the bar, he took it, but not without the

Robbie Longnecker Former Longnecker’s Tavern owner support of his family. He said none of it could not have been possible without the support of his family— namely his mother. When he started running the place, the customers and the vibe largely remained the same, outside of seeing more of his friends stop by regularly. From there, he established himself and the bar as a fixture of Batchtown — an achievement he said he was most proud of looking back at his time in the bar. “I was pretty well known all over,� Robbie said. “Everybody pretty well knows where Longnecker’s Tavern is at.� For Robbie, the years drew a slew of memories, especially as it came time to sign that final paper work. “It was hard to do,� Longnecker said. “I made a
lot of friends in there. I have had a lot of good times with a lot of people in there‌I had a pretty good time in my 32 years in there.â€? He remembers the many duck season customers and the drinks after county league ball games. To pin-point these movements would be hard, though, with a hefty bank of memories to chose from. “I had a lot of big moments in there,â€? Robbie said. “I don’t know how to explain it. It was just a lot of fun for a lot of years. When you run a business for 32 years, you have had a lot of good times, not just one.â€? It was a host of good days and bad, as could be expected after decades in the business. He remembers it being tough, initially, working 6-7 days out of the week for the first 15 (See, LONGNECKER, A2)

Unsolved Craigmiles case reopened Active COVID-19 cases jump by 3 since last report
By CONNOR ASHLOCK Calhoun News-Herald The case involving the alleged June 30, 1993 murder of Stuart Anthony Craigmiles, better known as “Tony,� who was found dead in his home in rural Kampsville, was reopened. Though the case ran cold nearly 30 years ago, Illinois State Police and Crime Stoppers have reopened the case in hopes of bringing justice to the individual or individuals responsible and closure to friends and family. “Craigmiles was an Illinois Department of Corrections officer in Mount Sterling,� Brenda Schulte of Crime Stoppers said. “He was friendly and was loved by everyone who met him. He would do anything for anyone.�
Investigators are working to ensure that no stone is left unturned as the facts of the case are sought out in the hope of garnering new information about the murder. “It was during the Great Flood of ’93 when there was no significant access to Calhoun,� Schulte said. “The only way to get in was to take a really long drive up the back hills and through the woods.� The original investigator of the case passed away since the case initially turned cold, but Illinois State Police District 18 investigators are hoping that given the long stretch of time since then, perhaps new information will be learned that leads to an arrest and conviction. At the time of his death, Craigmiles was a husband and father of two small children. Crime Stoppers is offering an award of $1,000 for anyone with information that leads to both an arrest and conviction.

By JARAD JARMON Calhoun News-Herald The number of COVID-19 cases in the county is continuing to go up steadily. Three new cases were reported on the evening of Sept. 3, bringing the total active cases in the county to nine. Twenty-six have recovered since COVID-19 hit the county earlier this year. Other neighboring counties are continuing to show big numbers of active cases. As of Sept. 4, there are currently 148 active cases in Jersey County. A total of 161 have recovered from the virus since it hit the area. The Greene County Health Department announced Sept. 7 the second death of COVID-19 in the county, as well as three new positive cases, one community acquired and two acquired in a long-term care facility. There are a total of 41 active cases in the county. Notably, Greene and Jersey County are designated as warning level counties. A county enters a warning level when it shows two or more COVID-19 risk indicators that measure the amount of COVID-19 increase. Although the reasons for counties reaching a warning level vary, some of the common factors for an increase in cases and outbreaks are associated with college parties, weddings, large gatherings, bars and clubs, long-term care facilities and other congregate settings, travel to neighboring states and spread among members of the same household who are not isolating at home. Cases connected to schools are beginning to be reported. General transmission of the virus in the community is also increasing. Pike County currently has 80 cases of COVID-19 and one related death. Health officials consistently ask for people to be mindful of social distancing, wearing masks in public and handwashing thoroughly.

Radical vaccine shows promise but we have long way to go
By BILL HOAGLAND This pandemic was supposed to have ended in May, when the warm weather arrived, right? At this point, most people now realize COVID-19 will probably be with us until we get a vaccine that works. And historically, most vaccines require years—sometimes 10 or 15 years—before they can be administered in mass inoculations. But obviously, we are in a so-called “warpspeed” effort to develop a safe and effective vaccine to deal with COVID-19, and the hope is that we can have one by the end of this year or early 2021. There are now at least 150 candidate vaccines being developed through the three-phase process required before a particular vaccine is ready for licensing and mass inoculations. One of the most promising of these candidates is a somewhat “radical” vaccine being developed by Moderna Therapeutics, a biotech company based in Massachusetts. Moderna is now thrust into the spotlight because of the speed with which it moved this candidate vaccine from laboratory studies to human trials.
Moderna reports that it has now begun the third-phase of its human testing; this third phase will eventually involve the trial inoculation of 30,000 people in the United States over the next six to nine months. Once the third phase is completed, then the Moderna candidate must be peer reviewed before it can be licensed by the FDA and eventually mass produced. Despite its relatively quick development through the first two phases of vaccine testing, mass inoculations of this vaccine will probably not occur until late 2021 or 2022. According to Amy McKeever, a scientific writer for National Geographic, the composition of the Moderna vaccine is based on an approach that has never been licensed or used on humans before. The traditional means of creating a vaccine is to use a weaken or dead sample of the virus itself to trigger an immune response. But in this instance, Moderna utilizes pieces of the coronavirus’ genetic material, referred to as mRNA 1273, and injects that genetic material into human cells,
causing them to make proteins that mimic the coronavirus and that thereby train the immune system to recognize and react to the coronavirus as if the virus itself had been injected. The advantage of this approach is that it saves significant development time because it avoids the delay of having to first develop a weakened virus sample that is safe to administer. As reported in the Wall Street Journal on Aug. 27, Moderna recently published results of its phase two tests and those results, although based on a very small sample size, are encouraging. The results suggest that this vaccine candidate can induce a sufficient immune response for not only patients between the ages of 18 to 55, but also for patients over the age of 55. This is especially important for senior citizens
because as a general rule, vaccines for persons over 55 tend to be less effective than with younger patients. That is because our immune systems weaken with age, and unfortunately, it is the elderly who are most vulnerable to this particular virus. Moderna’s mRNA 1273 vaccine has a long way to go before we could begin mass inoculations, but the results so far are encouraging. ––––––––––––––––––– Q Bill Hoagland has practiced law in Alton for more than 50 years, but he has spent more than 70 years hunting, fishing and generally being in the great outdoors.

Letter to the editor This general election process will be different from previous TO THE EDITOR: The COVID-19 pandemic poses unprecedented challenges to every entity including the election process. In June Governor Pritzker signed into law PA 641 and PA 642 to address voting in the November General Election. Illinois County Clerks were required to send out and encourage vote by mail applications. To date we have had a multitude of applications returned. Applications received in the County Clerk’s Office prior to September 22, 2020 will have ballots mailed out on September 24, 2020. There are other organizations that will send vote by mail applications. If a registrant has already
submitted one, there is no need to send another. You are not eligible to have multiple applications entered for the same election. Voters are encouraged to mail their voted ballots back as soon as possible allowing the postal service ample time to get them to the counting center. Ballots may be hand carried to my office either by the voter or someone they appoint to handle it. Sign the affidavit on the back of the return envelope to allow an appointed person to hand carry your ballot. Please understand THIS IS NOT SOLELY A VOTE BY MAIL ELECTION. POLLING LOCATIONS WILL BE OPEN ON ELECTION DAY. Early Voting will be open
Commissioners (Continued from A1) “If a child was abducted, or in the event of a tornado, levee break, car theft or any kind of emergency, we can use this system to get the word out across the county quickly and reliably,” Wilschetz said. Wilschetz is anticipating the program being up and running in October, if everything goes according to plan.
In the meantime, contact information has to be registered with the company and dispatchers have to be trained on how to utilize the system. “Code Red will purchase numbers through different companies, so they’ll be able to download numbers from phones in Calhoun County,” Wilschetz said. Wilschetz added that there will be a test run of the sys-
in the County Clerk’s Office beginning September 24, 2020. You will be strongly encouraged to wear a mask when you vote and may need to have your temperature taken prior to entering the polling location. Hand sanitizer will be available along with additional cleaning measures throughout the polling location. Because of these extraordinary measures, it may take a little longer for you to cast your ballot. Please be patient and allow more time. Calhoun Unit 40 is cooperating with my office so that we may use the grade school cafeteria as Hardin and Gilead Precincts’ polling place allowing proper social distancing needed according to CDC guidelines. Any ques-
tem, with information going out beforehand to prepare residents, so if anyone does not receive notification from Code Red, they can enter their information on Code Red’s website. “It seems to be a good system and has shown to work well in a lot of different areas. We think it will work well for us as well,” Wilschetz said.
Longnecker (Continued from A1) years of his time in business. But in the end, Robbie said he does not regret a thing. Moreover, he said he is going to miss the frequent interactions everyday at the bar — with plans to still go in from time to time for coffee. It won’t be missed more, though, by anyone other than his family — namely his grandchildren. “They are the ones that are going to miss them the most,” Robbie said. “… Every time we go by the Tavern, they want pawpaw to get them some candy and soda.” His granddaughters are Natalie, Avalynn and Raegan. He noted it was a family bar — and made so especially with the support of his family, namely his son, Dylan, and his girl-
friend, Carol Sue Friedel and her grandchildren. While he is retiring from this business, Robbie is not out of the workforce completely. He will continue to do grass and yard work in Missouri area as part of RND Lawn Service. “I have a grass and yard business that I have been doing for 20 years, and I am going to keep on doing that for a while yet, and we’ll see what happens,” Robbie said. In his place, his nephew, Casey, who has worked at the bar on and off for 20 years, along with Sean, who works at Shade Financial Services in Carrollton, and Hannah, who works at the Edward Jones home office, will be running the longstanding Batchtown tavern. “We are all great friends with Casey, and [we] decided to all go in [on the endeav-

or],” Sean said. And for the time being, there are no big changes planned for Longnecker’s future. Sean said they will be picking up where Robbie left off. “We are just trying to keep it going now as it is,” he said, noting the legacy that Robbie has left. Sean noted Robbie built a well-known business in a small town, and that will forever be a notch in his belt. And, they plan to keep that going, all the while retaining the local roots. Outside of being family, Casey grew up in Batchtown and now lives in Brussels. Sean and Hannah both live in Hardin after growing up in Batchtown and Hardin, respectively. The tavern is open from 11 a.m. to 1 a.m. with some changes during duck season.

Outdoor Truths: Gary Miller
Even mundane days usher in moments of significance Kentucky bow season opened yesterday. The morning was exceptionally cool. I know that because I stepped out on my patio to confirm. Yeah, I know. You think I should have been sitting in that tree stand. You might be right, but since I hadn’t checked my trail camera in a couple of weeks, I didn’t know if my sitting would be in vain. In the early season, I’m not expecting the unexpected like I am around Halloween. This time of year, predictability and familiarity are the norm. If he’s not around now, he probably won’t be until he starts looking for a doe. So, I wait. Tomorrow, however, I’m making a trip there to check my camera to see if I should have been there instead of on my patio. I’ve seen a good buck there recently, but the bears seem to be ruling the roost right now. Again, the norm has been to have tons of pictures of bears and a few pictures of deer. This will change, but I’ll have to get through this season of the usual and routine. But who likes to do that? If you think about it, most of our life is made up of the things that have no special significance. We get up, go to work, maneuver through our day, come home, enjoy family time or a hobby and do it all over again the next day. And
one day adds to another and to another until we have put togethe r … w e l l , until we have put together something that is significant. It may be an earned degree, a debt paid off, or a child raised and released into adulthood. But a string of routine occurrences can produce a really special moment for rejoicing. That’s why we have to remember, while each day in itself may seem mundane, it is actually a part of something we never imagined would be accomplished. Because if you look back at any significant moment in your life, you will notice, it was most likely ushered in by those things that were predictable and familiar. This means I better get in that tree stand. What I see, hear and learn during these early days, might be the sole reason I am able to get a shot at a good buck when my opportunity comes. ––––––––––––––––––– Q Gary has three books that are compilations of the articles he has written for nearly 15 years.

McCully Heritage Stewardship Days still a go By JARAD JARMON Calhoun News-Herald Among a slate of events canceled over the spring and summer because of COVID-19, the McCully Heritage Project was unable to address the ever-present infestation of invasive species as they normally would as a part of their volunteer stewardship days. These days are select times in the spring and fall where people can go out and help clean the low lying plants that are invasive and detrimental to the ecosystem in the area if left unchecked. “We usually try to do volunteer days throughout the fall and spring. We often skip summer because it is hot and miserable,” Michelle BergVogel, McCully Heritage Project director, said. This spring, they were not able to host this event, but for the upcoming fall season, those at the non-profit are confident the work can be done and done safely. “September is a little early, but into October and all of November is the best time to be cutting your honeysuckle and your autumn olive, which are the two main woody invasive species,” Berg-Vogel said. With social distancing in consideration, the McCully Heritage Project has scheduled Volunteer Stewardship Days starting near the end of September. The non-profit is a natural area made up of 940 acres of hills and hollows in Calhoun, offering miles of hiking and horseback riding trails, two ponds for fishing and turtle watching, a wetland, forests and native grasslands. The project is located 1 mile south of Kampsville on Crawford Creek Road. It has been a while since volunteers have had the chance to head into the woods at the McCully Heritage Project as part of the nonprofit’s stewardship days and remove some of the invasive species, but those volunteer days
are set to return for the fall. “Because things are opening up and were able to do a few more things face-to-face, and we are able to do things a little bit more carefully,” Berg-Vogel said. “I think people have an understanding of how to be a little bit more careful. Because these are activities that we can do outside. We decided that it would be both good for us and good for our volunteers to be able to get out and do some of this.” McCully Heritage can provide all the equipment including loppers and spray, but people are encouraged to bring their own gloves. With all of the equipment, sanitation is being taken very seriously, Berg Vogel said. According to their Facebook page, these volunteer events are set to take place Sept. 26, Oct. 4, Oct. 11, Oct. 24, Nov. 7 and Nov. 14 from 9 a.m to noon each day. Berg-Vogel said with it being an outdoor event, they are confident the volunteers can be far enough apart. People are asked to RSVP through Facebook messenger, emailing mccullyheritage@gmail. com or by calling 618-653-4687 if they plan to attend. “If I end up with a ton interest on one of the days, we may end up limiting it, but I don’t think we will,” Berg-Vogel said. They normally offer lunch at this event and are working out a way in which to do that. Berg-Vogel stressed this work is important for sustainability at the nature center, noting that these invasive species — namely honeysuckle and autumn olive, low lying bush-like plants, — can crowd out native species and could even get so thick that deer cannot get through them. These plants can turn into a thick canopy, BergVogel said. Both the bush honeysuckle and autumn olive were introduced into North America in the early 1800s with the idea that they would be good plants for wildlife. Later, the Department of Natural Resources and Forest Service encour-

aged landowners to plant them to provide food and cover for birds and deer and other critters. This was back in the day before people had a really good understanding that a native and natural ecosystem works pretty well and native species will do better with native plants. As far as cutting back these plants, it is a constant process, but one that is less arduous with the help of the community. Berg-Vogel said the volunteer work can take out a huge dent of the plant from the area. “The impact one person can make is pretty stunning,” Berg-Vogel said. For more information on the event, one can
call 618-653-4587. Also later in the fall, they along with the Calhoun Center for American Archeology will be hosting the fourth annual Kampsville KnapIn. This event is normally scheduled in the summer but will take place on Oct. 10. Here, there will be flint-knapping demonstrations and tutorials, traditional bowmaking, an atlatl range, other demonstrations of primitive skills and native plant walks. Artifact identification will be from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. This event is not for buying, selling or trading of relics. There will be no local chert collections without the property owner’s permission.

We have two new village trustees in the Village of Kampsville: Glenda Sidwel and Terry Haussmann. I look forward to working with them. This is the week to enjoy the Calhoun Entertainment Company’s musical production of “Peter Pan” Friday, Saturday and Sunday evening at the Calhoun County Fairgrounds. Social distancing will be in effect. The Calhoun PTO was able to donate $5,500 to CEJHS for the purchase of much needed Chromebooks for the students. They were able to do this through their fundraising efforts. A big “thank you” to everyone in the community who helps
to support the PTO recently they did a very successful mum sale. St. Norbert’s received a donation of water, sanitizer, toilet paper, towels and trash bags from the Carrolton Kroger.

Having just written Point News on Monday last week, I don’t have much to report at this time. I do know the workers and all other Calhoun residents who cross the Brussels Ferry were happy Friday afternoon when it opened to traffic up again. The two-week closer was to build new ramps and other repair work at the landings. Deepest sympathy to the family of Bernell (Haug) Narup who passed away earlier this week. Thoughts and prayers to her two sons, Dan and Doug, and their families from the St. Louis area. Marie Held was a special guest of the Winneberg Book Club on Friday afternoon at the Club House in Winneberg. She was one of the first members of the South Calhoun Library Board and had been asked to present the history of the library to the ladies. The group certainly enjoyed the presentation and found it very interesting.

She graduated from Hardin High School, and soon married Russell Ray Jones on September 22, 1956 in Roxana, Illinois.

By MEAGAN MCGLASSON Calhoun News-Herald As concerns about voteby-mail dominate the national stage and nightly news broadcasts, on a local level, officials are doing everything they can to ensure a safe and smooth election process. Technically, voters have until Oct. 29 to return their applications, however, Calhoun County Circuit Clerk Rita Hagen stressed voters should absolutely not wait until the last minute. “We’ve been putting [not waiting until the last minute] out there as much as we can,” she said. After Sept. 24, once the clerk’s office receives an application, they legally have two business days to mail out a ballot to the voter. Because Oct. 29 is a Thursday, that leaves just two business days, Friday, Oct. 30 and Monday, Nov. 2. In order for a ballot to be counted, it must be postmarked Nov. 3, leaving voters with very little time to respond and get their ballots in the mail. In other words, don’t wait. Hagen also said that instructions for how to complete the mail-in ballot will be printed directly on the envelope, including the amount citizens need to affix for postage. “When they send it back, it should be just one stamp and that’s 55 cents. We don’t know that for sure yet, but that’s what it’s been in previous years,” Hagen explained From there, postal workers will ensure that ballots are delivered to Hagen’s office. “So the main thing that our post office is having us doing is that we are designating ballots. We have special tags put on them so they know they’re election mail,” she said. Local officials offer some reassurance as at the national level, predictions about the success of mail in voting vary wildly depending on who is making them. On Aug. 18, national outrage regarding changes being implemented across the postal service which may have negatively impacted the efficiency of postal services prompted a walk back of pilot programs implemented by Postmaster General Louis DeJoy. “Therefore, retail hours at post offices won’t be changed, and mail processing equipment and blue collection boxes won’t be removed during this period. No mail processing facilities will be closed, and we have terminated the pilot program that began in July that expedited carrier departures to their delivery routes, without plans to extend or expand it,” DeJoy said during a Senate hearing. “To clear up any confusion, overtime has, and will continue to be, approved as needed. Finally, effective Oct. 1, 2020, we will engage
standby resources in all areas of our operations, including transportation, to satisfy any unforeseen demand for the election.” This testimony addressed several concerns that have received substantial airtime on national news. In addition to DeJoy’s comments, the Office of Inspector General for the Post Office released an audit on Aug. 31 making recommendations for improvement after auditing seven primary or special elections earlier this year. That audit found five major potential concerns for mail-in voting at the national level including mail likely to be mailed too close to the election, voter addresses that are out of date, required postmarks and two other envelope design flaws. In order to address these concerns, the audit made five recommendations: Q Creating separate simplified mail product exclusively for election mail and, until its implementation, continuing to prioritize election mail. Q Ensuring mail facilities perform daily certifications verifying all election and political mail has been processed. Q Clearly define roles, responsibilities and oversight to ensure checklists are completed and establish timeframes for their completion. Q Using and maintaining the standardized Election and Political Mail log. Q Implementing best practices and working to educate election officials on these best practices. The Postmaster General’s full statement can be read at https://about.usps.com/ newsroom/testimonyspeeches/082120-pmg-statement.htm and the audit in its entirety can be viewed at https://www.oversight. gov/sites/default/files/oigreports/20-225-R20.pdf.
Don’t Volunteer to Be a Victim “The most common way people give up their power is by thinking they don’t have any.” -Alice Walker
Rull Brothers Hardin, IL
Jersey Community Hospital 618-498-6402 www.jch.org
I
t may seem odd to think that some people actually volunteer to be victims, but if you let yourself be abused or degraded without fighting back or at least voicing your reluctance to be victimized then you are at the very least complicit in your victimhood. A less obvious way in which we volunteer to be victims is when someone offers us something that we know isn’t good for us. An alcoholic who accepts a drink is volunteering for victimhood, as is anyone who takes something they know is dangerous. If you’re in an uncomfortable situation, you have the right to leave. If someone asks you to do something you don’t want to do, you can say no. Saying yes to every request is the surest path to victimization in this world. And
another, less obvious way in which we volunteer to be a victim is when others put us down and we engage with them. They are goading you to play their game, and you can simply refuse to play it. There are real victims in this world, people who through no fault of their own are harmed by others. But sometimes we leave the car unlocked with valuables in clear view, or we accept the offer for something we don’t want, or we say yes when we should just say no. –Christopher Simon

Mr. B still embraced in communityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s prayers Weeks after serious fall resulting in a traumatic brain injury, Mark Baalman, lovingly known as â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mr. B,â&#x20AC;? is still in the hearts of those in the community. Saturday night, a host of people joined together as they have done weekly since the accident to pray for the Calhoun Unit 40 teacher. There was a smaller crowd than in previous weeks, but many watched the vigil online. Baalman is still making progress as he continues his recovery at a long-term acute care facility in St. Charles.
