Local marine gets huge side-by-side sendoff

By JARAD JARMON Calhoun News-Herald It may be an understatement to say that U.S. Marine Corps veteran Daniel “Hank� Vetter of Hamburg loved riding around in his side-by-side.

Hank and his wife, Janice, did not have a boat, so when there was time for a leisurely ride, they were often in their side-by-side, whether that was in Calhoun or on trips out to the mountains, like in Colorado, as they did over summer. Janice said they would be seen riding in it often on the weekend, and did so any time of the year. “We didn’t care if it was 35 degrees or 98 degrees,� she said.

It became known that if they were traveling throughout the countryside, it was likely done in that side-by-side.

She said it had gotten to the point where people would jokingly ask them if they had any other vehicles. They do, but the side-by-side was just a fun ride and a liberty afforded by living in a rural area. “It is beautiful here to just ride,�

Janice said. “We just enjoyed riding it.�

So, when it came time to see Hank off for the last time, Janice, the rest of his family and the community at large made sure it was done the only way Hank would have ever wanted: In a side-by-side.

Hank died Thursday morning, Sept.

17 and was cremated and on Saturday, in a sweet sendoff, a host of community members joined the procession, but did so in side-by-sides. “I still can’t get over how many people showed up,� Janice said.

Dozens showed up in side-by-sides Saturday morning next to the former Calhoun News-Herald building to join

Janice and her sons and daughter-inlaws to give Hank his one last ride before being laid to rest at Silver Creek Cemetery.

The idea of a side-by-side procession came to Janice a couple of days ahead of the funeral. It was a pass-

ing suggestion to her son — one she quickly dismissed herself thinking it would not be possible.

But, when her son threw the idea around and her daughter-in-law put the call out on Facebook, the people came.

When Janice arrived at the funer-

al home, there were maybe a couple of side-by-sides including her own.

But when she left and finally took stock of the procession, she noticed that number had grown considerably.

New leads open up 1993 Craigmiles murder case

By CONNOR ASHLOCK Calhoun News-Herald

F

or nearly 30 years, the question revolving around who murdered Stuart Anthony “Tony� Craigmiles in his home in rural Kampsville has remained a mystery, but thanks to new information, the case is another step closer to being solved.

Illinois State Police Special Agent Randall Custer has been working with other ISP Zone 6 staff in Litchfield as well as the Calhoun County Sheriff’s Office in the course of the investigation. “The case was moved to cold case status because of the lack of

new leads,� Custer said. “Thanks to new credible information from the community, the case has new life.�

Craigmiles was found dead in his home by his wife from an apparent gunshot wound to the head during the time of the Great Flood of 1993. He was 27 years old at the time and serving as a correctional officer at the Western Illinois Correctional Facility in Mount Sterling.

Before his employment with the IDOC (Illinois Department of Corrections) facility in Mount Sterling, he was employed as a deputy with the Calhoun County Sheriff’s Department.

Though no new information regarding the case had emerged since 2009, recent information has compelled investigators to reexamine the Craigmiles case.

“I want to stress how important it is for the community to come forth with information,� Custer said. “Also, I want the community to know cold cases remain a priority for the ISP and will be worked utilizing every resource possible.�

Because of the Great Flood of ’93, road access was limited around the county, and the only accessible roads to Craigmiles’ north Calhoun residence were country roads. “We always need the cooperation of the community to be successful. Anyone with information is asked to contact ISP Zone 6 Litchfield at 217-324-6212 or Two Rivers Crime Stoppers at 800-300-2590,� Custer noted. “It has been 27 years since Tony’s death. It is time to bring some closure to the family and community.�

Community, students mourn passing of Coach Peyton

By CONNOR ASHLOCK Calhoun News-Herald In the hearts and minds of those who knew and loved him, Glenn Peyton will never truly be gone from Calhoun County.

The 53-year-old Calhoun Unit 40 coach, referee and educator died on Sept. 22 following heart surgery, leaving behind a 24-year teaching career and a community that, based on the response to his Submitted photo death, will cherish his &RDFK *OHQQ 3H\WRQ OHIW memory for decades to D FRPPXQLW\ WKDW DSSUHcome.

FLDWHG DQG FDUHG IRU KLP “When I was in the fourth grade, our teacher introduced us to a new student — Glenn Peyton. He lived in my neighborhood, so I’ve known him for quite a long time,� Diane Brangenberg, longtime friend of Peyton, said. “He was a teacher to all of my kids and also my freshman date to homecoming.�

Brangenberg was just one of many who knew Peyton as a friend, as well as one of the few who knew him from the very beginning. “Coming here in fourth grade from Virginia as a shy kid who kept his head down, it was perfect that they would move into the neighborhood of Mary Street and Gridiron Acres,� Brangenberg recalled. “Chris Johnes, John Hillen, Jim Ducey nor the Baalman boys were ever going to let him stay just a shy kid. They quickly welcomed him right into the mix.�

But, it wasn’t just lifelong friends that felt impacted by the sudden loss of the man, as dozens of students, one by one, took to social media to share their thoughts on a legend of the county. “I played football under Peyton from 2009 to 2012 and took several classes with him as well. Coach Peyton influenced me like so many others. He influences us all through his display of passion. Passion for the sport of football, passion for history and passion for his students and athletes,� Marcus Breden, former Calhoun Warrior, said. “He held his students and athletes to high standards, yet maintained the ability to bring a smile to everyone’s face and brighten their day.

This attitude towards life showed me to work hard but to be sure to enjoy the finer moments in life as well.

The world was a much better one with Peyton around, and he will be sorely missed by many.�

Many Warriors share similar sentiment with Breden’s remarks, including Dylan Ringhausen, who works as a counselor at Calhoun High School, a position that he would not have found himself in without the help of Coach Peyton inspiring his life’s work.

Outdoor Truths: Gary Miller

Mice could impact effectiveness of the COVID-19 vaccine

By BILL HOAGLAND Most people realize, I think, that we are probably not going to have an effective vaccine against COVID-19 until 2021 or later, if we have one at all.

What many people do not realize, though, is that even if an effective vaccine is created, the one that is picked could be ineffective for senior citizens — the people who need it the most.

Immunologists have known for years that vaccines are generally less effective for persons over the age of 65. The annual flu shot is just one example of how vaccinations are less effective for older patients. The primary reason for this is that as the body ages, the ability of the body to produce antibodies to combat viruses diminishes.

As the various vaccine candidates for COVID-19 are now going through Phase 3 of testing to determine which one will work best, an interesting question has arisen as to whether the vaccine ultimately chosen will be effective for senior citizens.

Maybe not, and the reason may surprise you.

According to two immunologists, Byram Bridle and Shayan Sharif, there is a basic problem in attempting to develop a COVID-19 vaccine that will be effective specifically for seniors. That problem has to do with mice.

That’s right: mice.

Sendoff

(Continued from A1) A host of individuals in sideby-sides were outside, some adorned with flags, ready to give Hank that proper send off.

Janice said roughly 29 side-bysides were there to take part in the procession to the cemetery.

“It was amazing too me,” Janice said. “I was over-

Peyton

(Continued from A1) “I remember when I started high school, I had a lot of discipline problems and was constantly in trouble. So, I decided to play football, and this was before we had the junior football league. I went out for the team, and he used all my aggression and energy and put it to good use,” Ringhausen recalled. “He was patient with me but also pushed me to be better and control my emotions in a more mature way. He actually fostered my love for education and is the main reason I wanted to be a teacher.”

Though Ringhausen may not be a teacher, in the literal sense, he shares that he is now in a job that he loves — a career in his home county that allows him to pour into students like Peyton poured into him.

Brother and sister Trevor Johnson and Molly JohnsonHagen both recall with fondness their friend, teacher and mentor. Trevor, along with their older brother Tyler, played football under Peyton while Molly cheered them on as a Warriorette on the sideline.

“He was a true Warrior,” Molly said. “When Friday night football would come around, he would be extra pumped up on Mountain Dew and showed an enormous amount of excitement for the game.”

Trevor Johnson recalled his own fond memories of the coach as well.

“Coach Peyton was a great teacher who impacted so many lives positively. I never knew how much I’d miss him pestering me and other students and drying his hands off on my shirt and of course class jeopardy,” Johnson said.

Among the host of other celebrants of Coach Peyton was Trevor Bick, who first met the coach as a fifth grader in basketball. As Bick grew older, he would remain connected with Peyton through high school football.

“Even though we all knew coach cared about winning, it became evident, almost instantly, that what he cared

r e n n u R e g d Ri

When the “warp speed” testing began last March to find a suitable vaccine for COVID19, researchers were using laboratory mice as a first step in determining if the various vaccine candidates were safe and effective. If the mice were injected with a particular vaccine candidate and their blood tests showed a favorable response to the vaccine, the tests for that candidate moved onto phase one in humans.

Significantly, the mice being used for these tests were “young” mice, meaning mice that were 12 weeks or younger. In the research laboratory world, it is presumed that a mouse that is 12 weeks old responds to a vaccine in the same manner that a “young” human — meaning someone in their 20’s or 30’s — would respond. A mouse that is 18 months old, on the other hand, is an “old” mouse. An old mouse responds to a vaccine in the same manner as an “old” human would respond—“old” here meaning someone over 65 years of age.

Older mice were not used in these tests because, believe it or not, there is a shortage of “old” mice available these days to use in laboratory tests and it would take too long to “create” a new supply of “old” mice; you would obviously need an extra 18 months to grow them

into “old” age.

According to Bridle and Sharif, because young mice were used instead of old mice, researchers, in attempting to determine which vaccine candidates would work on humans, may have failed to identify the vaccine candidates that will work best on senior citizens, the people who are most affected by this virus.

Bridle and Sharif are of the opinion that it is now too late to go back and include older mice in preclinical tests because our goal is to have a vaccine as quickly as possible.

Who would have thought that the age of laboratory mice could somehow determine if the COVID-19 vaccine will be effective for us seniors?

Maybe none of this matters anyway. If and when an effective vaccine is developed, it seems clear that the initial supply of vaccine will be limited and will not be available to everyone. That means there is going to be a priority list as to who gets it first.

Presumably health care professionals and first responders

will (or should) get it first, but who comes after that? Members of Congress? Really? Or, Hollywood celebrities? Or, the billionaires? And maybe, in determining who else should receive the vaccine before others do, the person ultimately in charge of that decision — a relatively “young” person perhaps — will conclude that because the selected vaccine might not be very effective for seniors, why waste the vaccine on them when other members of our society would benefit more?

I know this scenario at first glance seems unsettling but so have all the other events that have occurred this year.

Truth is, we can no longer assume anything.

whelmed.”

So, on the cool weekend morning, Hank got another trip through the county — this time with a host of family and friends with him ready to show that he and his love of the sideby-side will be remembered.

Leading the procession was Janice with Hank’s ashes

in hand, her sons, Derek and Justin, along with her daughters-in-law, Melanie and Chancey.

As one could expect, a trip out to cemetery is always solemn, but the gesture by the many that came helped, Janice said.

“My heart was just filled

with love,” Janice said. “…I can’t believe all the people that came.”

As for Hank, Janice was pretty sure he would have felt the same.

“I think he would’ve been like me,” she said. “He would’ve been very proud and overwhelmed.”

about the most was making all of us better people,” Bick said. “When he wasn’t correcting your form or giving you a hard time about giving it your best (he would often say that when we as linemen didn’t hit the circle bags hard enough that it sounded like a mouse peeing on cotton), he was often informing us on how to become better individuals, and even more importantly, how to succeed in life. Coach was one of the greatest mentors I’ve had in my life.”

Bick will never forget the time that he went to visit Peyton in the hospital after he had his first heart attack and the exchange that occurred between them.

“As soon as I walked in the door, he had the biggest smile on his face and started cracking jokes and asking me about myself as if I were the one in the hospital bed, but that was coach,” Bick said. “He had a contagious smile and energy that was unmatched and would never allow a situation to be about himself, even if he had just suffered a major heart attack and was in the hospital. I’m really going to miss that Mountain Dew drinking, sports loving and kind hearted guy. I’m sure he’s looking over us right now with his sweatpants, headset and playbook drawing up plays right now.”

It is plainly evident that whether you are a fan, cheerleader or athlete, Peyton made an impact.

As for the lifelong friends who were changed for the better from having known and loved Peyton, they would go on to have kids of their own.

Once those kids grew into adolescence, they were able to watch Peyton transform their lives as well.

Diane Brangenberg recalled a time when her daughter, Sami, was a junior in high school.

Sami was a cheerleader and her other daughter, Lindsey, was the cheer coach.

Brangenberg volunteered as the assistant coach.

The Calhoun Warriors had just entered round three of the playoffs. A lot was on the line for these young men, but

when all was said and done, despite the progress the team had made, the Warriors would lose the game. Of course, it goes without saying that the team was crushed and spirits were low.

“We lost in the third round on our home field after the game, and as we always did, we gathered around Coach Peyton. The players were on their knees with their heads hung,” Brangenberg said.

To this day, Brangenberg still remembers those powerful words that shot through every single Warrior and Warriorette gathered around him like a lightning bolt.

“Coach Peyton said, ‘Get those heads up! You’ve made this community proud! Walk out of here with your heads held high with the dignity you earned.’ Sometimes I can’t remember what I walked into my kitchen to get, but I can remember his speech to those players,” Brangenberg said.

“As I mentioned in the beginning, I’ve known Glenn since the fourth grade, and he mostly walked with his head looking to the ground. I don’t think Glenn ever realized the positive impact he had on so many!

I would like to say ‘Walk with your head held high Glenn, with all the dignity you have earned as a teacher, coach and friend.’”

As is evidenced by the 323 Facebook shares, 91 comments and 444 reactions from community members to the Calhoun Unit 40’s Facebook post announcing the passing of Coach Glenn Peyton, he was a dearly loved man.

With a determined spirit and a gentle smile, Peyton changed the lives of every single individual he encountered, and in doing so, changed not the whole world, but the small worlds of every single student that looked up to him as a mentor, friend and second father.

Now, what remains is for those who knew Coach Peyton to honor his memory by carrying on from where he left off. There’s a world out there to change, and the Warriors might just be what is needed to make it happen.

OPINION

Hardin, Illinois

Be thankful for people who keep from getting lost I’ve learned over the years to keep a watchful eye when I travel to a tree stand in an unfamiliar place.

I especially do this when I’m hunting in another state.

I’ve been lost a few times.

When I’m walking in, I always try to turn around and look back to see what the view looks like going in the opposite direction. I mark certain topographical differences such as a fallen tree or one that has a certain shape or characteristic. I also take with me some marking ribbon just in case I have to wander through the woods in search for an animal I may have shot. I will mark my path back to my tree stand.

Again, I’ve just hunted long enough to understand no matter how experienced I may think I am, I can and will get turned around in a strange place. One of the simplest inventions that came along a few years ago was reflective tacks.

They are pushed into a tree and when passed over with a flashlight, will make a path look like an airport runway.

I’ve hunted in some places where these tacks were put on both sides of the path every few feet all the way to the foot of the tree where I was to hunt. Because someone marked my path there was no way I was getting lost.

When I think about the most important things in my life, I am equally thankful some folks marked a clear path to keep me from getting lost.

And even though I chose to stray from that path many times, it was not because

the path was not marked suffic i e n t l y.

Wisdom is knowing when to blaze y o u r own trail and when to understand the trail others have blazed is the only way to go. It is also making sure you have marked the correct trail for those who will come after you.

There are some areas in life those who follow us must find for themselves; things like their purpose or what their passions are. There is no shortcut for these pursuits. In other areas we can save them a lot of heartaches if we will clearly mark the path and warn them concerning leaving its narrow way.

Even though I had some great guides in my life I also know if others had also accepted their responsibility for pointing me the right way, I could have learned a lot of important lessons earlier than I did. Don’t ever be afraid to mark the path when you are sure where it leads.

It will help an untold number of individuals.

I’d love to speak at your next outdoor event.

Information will be available next week on the procedure and time to get your order in for the fish fry.

Linda Russell celebrated her birthday Saturday, Sept.

26, with her kids and grandkids. Cindy and Steve and Hayden Mazorous came up on Saturday. Marcy and Linda went to Grafton for a birthday supper Saturday evening. Linda traveled down to see Jeremy and Angie and their girls, Zoe and Sadie, at their home in Godrey, and on to see Bonnie and Bob Stepanek and the boys, Austin and Michael, in Jerseyville on late Sunday.

All wished Linda a happy birthday.

We’re glad to report that the ducks are quacking again this fall. The St. Norbert’s folks are planning another duck race down the Illinois River from Hardin. It is St. Norbert’s Schools fourth

annual Duck race. The duck race begins at 2 p.m. followed by the Golden Duck Race at 4 p.m. So get your lawn chairs and nice place by the river in sight and ready, and call those ducks into the finish line.

It was a clear fall night for the Brussels students prom Friday, Sept. 26. The senior coronation had a tie vote with two winners for the prom queen. They were: Macie Kinder and Ollivia Pille. The prom king was Mitchell Williams. The royal court and their classmates enjoyed this special night.

Happy Birthday to Helen Sievers and Missy Presley who recently celebrated their birthdays.

It was a happy get together for Barb Margherio and her brothers and sisters the last week of August for a week of fun at the Hills and Hollers Lodge. They ate and dined at local sites and drove around the county seeing the apple orchards, rivers and homes of friends and relatives that they visited along the way. Barb said, “they try to get together annually for their reunion at the Hills and Hollers Lodge near the place they grew up in Batchtown – the familiar sites in Calhoun County that they long to see.”

We are happy to report that Arlene Brodbeck is feeling much better and is on her way to recovery. Our

thoughts and prayers are with Raymond Sievers, who is currently recovering at home.

Bob Stepanek celebrated his birthday Sept. 23 with his wife Bonnie and with his sons Austin and Michael with a birthday dinner.

When I am old, as long as I can hear, I will wake to bird songs high and sweet and clear, When I am old , if I should lose my sight, All will be plain just as it is at night When growing things there rooted stations keep So firmly I could find them in my sleep.

Though ears we dulled, my heart will leap in spring, Though birds have flown, I still may hear them sing Though sun and moon, and stars must sink and rise Within myself will dwell earth and skies.

Scarecrows are starting to pop-up around town and they are looking festive and fabulous.

Marcia Agney’s display at the Presbyterian Church is awesome and the Bank of Kampsville is hilarious. Don’t forget to let Glenda Sidwell know if you are participating.

My co-chairman, Debby Klunk, and I along with our committee are very busy working on the details for Trunk or Treat. Because of restrictions, we cannot do baked goods for the treat walk; however, we can do prepackaged store-bought and treats and prizes. Any donations would be much appreciated.

Most everyone in Kampsville knew Jerry Voigt’s mom, but you probably knew her as Grandma Froggy. She got that name because she collected frogs from all over and anyone that saw her collection whether it be in her yard or in her house or in her garage it was unbelievable. Grandma Froggy died last year.

When Grandma Froggy passed, they displayed them at her funeral for people to

take as a memento of her.

The remaining frogs Jerry and Ellen donated to a museum.

It’s very fitting that Grandma Froggy’s frogs went to the “Frogtown Froggy Museum” in Toledo, Ohio. So, if you’re ever on a trip and you find yourself in Toledo, Ohio, stop by and check out those frogs.

Helen was a kind lady with a great smile and an infectious laugh. I loved waiting on her anytime she came into Louie’s. Her smile is so infectious she just put you in a good mood. Sympathy to her son’s, Jody and Matt.

Our Calhoun Unit 40 family also suffered a great loss this week. Glenn Peyton who has taught and coached at Calhoun for over 20 years died. I’ve personally known Glenn since the fourth grade when his family made Calhoun their home. Glenn had a very big heart and cared deeply for all of his students.

He had a great sense of humor with the kids and was very soft-spoken. I don’t think he ever realized the impact he had on this community. I don’t think I ever heard a kid say they didn’t love having him for a teacher. I was blessed to have him as long time friend of mine as I said since the fourth grade. Sympathy to all of his family, co-workers, friends and students.

Please keep Sandy Blackorby in your prayers. Her grandson, Austin Sherfey, died last Monday.

Please pray for all those currently fighting COVID-19, for the teachers who are working so hard during this unchartered time.

DANIEL ‘HANK’ VETTER

State’s Attorney addresses handling of COVID-19 cases

By JARAD JARMON Calhoun News-Herald Calhoun County State’s Attorney Richard Ringhausen addressed the recent spike in COVID-19 cases and how local law enforcement would respond.

Calhoun County Health Department has been dealing with a recent spike in cases of COVID-19. As of this date, there have been approximately 63 positive cases.

“As everyone is aware, there is a significant difference of opinion as to best handle the COVID-19 pandemic,” Ringhausen said. “The challenge has been to balance the need for protection of the health of the public with protection of basic constitutional rights of speech, worship and assembly.

“That COVID-19 is real is a proven fact. Statistics show that for the vast majority of people who are infected with the virus, most will have only slight health issues. There are, however, certain persons who are seriously, and sometimes fatally impacted by the virus.

These persons are often in the most vul-

nerable segments of our population; the elderly and the infirm.”

So far, no one locally has been charged for a lack of adherence to state guidelines regarding COVID-19, Ringhausen said.

“We have not had to use the powers of law enforcement to criminally charge people for issues of masking, social distancing or gatherings,” he said. “For the most part, the citizens of the county have shown respect for their neighbors by using common sense and voluntarily trying to comply with these guidelines.”

The situation of persons who are confirmed positive for COVID-19 is a different matter. The virus has been shown to be highly contagious. Once someone is confirmed positive, they have a legal duty not to recklessly endanger their fellow citizens.

Ringhausen had this to say on this front: “The community has a right to expect law enforcement to protect them, and we will do so. Violation of an isolation order of the Health Department will be treated as Reckless Conduct.

There are, of course, valid reasons why

NEWS/OUR TOWN/OBITUARIES Daniel “Hank” Vetter, of Hamburg, IL, passed away Thursday morning September 17, 2020, in his home.

He was born on March 26, 1954 to the late Ernest and Sarah (Hoover) Vetter.

Hank married Janice Klunk on September 14, 1985 in Michael, IL. He was a proud member of the United State Marine Corps.

Hank enjoyed side-by-side riding, spending time with his granddaughters, and he loved to travel. He was a member of Kampsville American Legion Post 1083.

Hank worked 29 years at Laclede Steel until it’s closure in 2002. He then went to work for IDOT as a Highway Maintainer for 16 years and is where he retired from.

In addition to his wife, he is survived by: two sons, Derek (Melanie) Vetter and Justin (Chancey) Vetter; three granddaughters, Scarlett Vetter, Madeline Vetter, and Maevry Vetter; a brother, Delbert Vetter; mother-in-law, Agnes Klunk;

someone under an isolation order might be away from their place of isolation: medical issues, emergencies, etc. Each case would be carefully reviewed before filing of criminal charges.

“It is my sincere hope that filing of formal charges will be unnecessary. Anyone who has tested positive for COVID-19 must comply with the isolation requirements of the Health Department for the protection of the community. Anyone who has not tested positive, but who has been exposed and is under quarantine should likewise make every attempt to comply with the terms of that order.”

Ringhausen likened the community effort to preventing a further spread of the virus to the community effort during the 2019 flood.

“During the flood of 2019, we all worked together to protect our friends and neighbors,” Ringhausen said. “This new flood has not yet crested. We must not yet tear down our sandbags. I am respectfully requesting your continued strength, consideration and cooperation.”

The Calhoun News-Herald has been around for over a century, and in that time, the newspaper has been able to celebrate life’s milestones with numerous families that live between the rivers.

With such a long history, the milestones of the same individuals will occasionally pop up when looking through old newspaper records, as such is the case with Mr. and Mrs. Baltisberger.

October 11, 1945 Miss Elsie Lorsbach becomes bride of Mr. John Baltisberger In a very beautiful ceremony performed Wednesday morning at 8 o’clock at St. Norbert’s church, Miss Elsie Lorsbach of Hardin became the bride of John Baltisberger of Deer Plain. Rev. Fr. Butler officiated at the double ring ceremony.

The bride was pretty in a gown of white satin designed with a long fitted bodice back. Fullness was featured in the long-trained skirt which was gathered to a low waistline and dipped slightly in the back.

Pleated edging outlined the sweetheart neckline and the sleeves were long and snugly fitted. The bride wore a three-quarter length Shirley Temple bridal veil of illusion attached to a halo

of tulle with seed pearl trim. She carried a bouquet of white carnations.

Mrs. Charles Hartman of St. Louis, cousin of the groom, was maid of honor. Miss Izella Lorsbach, sister of the bride, was the bridesmaid. The honor attendant wore a frock of blue net with sweetheart neckline and she also carried carnations of a contrasting color.

Alfred Schleeper, friend of the groom, served as best man and Charles Hartman of St. Louis, cousin of the groom, served as groomsman.

Following the wedding, a breakfast was served at the home of the bride’s mother, Mrs. Myrtle Lorsbach. At 4 p.m., a wedding dinner was served at the bride’s home, and in the evening the young couple treated their many friends to a dance at Brussels.

Mrs. Baltisberger is the youngest daughter of Mrs. Myrtle Lorsbach and the late Peter Lorsbach. She attended the Hardin high school and, with her sister, has been the owner of the Lorsbach store in Hardin.

The groom is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Martin Baltisberger of Deer Plain. He went to Brussels high school and is now engaged in farming where the couple

Glenn Allen Peyton, age 53, of Hamburg, IL passed away on Tuesday, September 22, 2020 at Mercy Hospital, in St. Louis, MO. Glenn was born on February 8, 1967 in Little Rock, AR, the son of George Sr. and Janice (Wright) Peyton.

He was a high school graduate of Calhoun High School in Illinois, and later began his career at Calhoun High School teaching history and coaching football for over 20 years. Glenn enjoyed refereeing all sports, fishing, duck hunting, and spending time with his dog, Fritz.

He is survived by his two brothers, Gary Peyton (Mendy) of Excello, MO, and George Peyton Jr. (Tammie) of Oklahoma; four nephews, Ethan, Caleb, Kelsey, and Trevor; one niece, Kattie Peyton; his aunt, Pam Wright of

Mr. and Mrs. Baltisberger have many friends, and the News joins with them in wishing the young couple much happiness.

October 11, 1995 Mr. and Mrs. John Baltisberger of Brussels were honored by their children on Sunday, October 8, for the celebration of their fiftieth wedding anniversary. The celebration started with a 10 a.m. Mass at St. Mary’s Church in Brussels and a reception following at the St. Mary’s Hall.

John and Elsie were married on October 10, 1945 at St. Norbert’s Church in Hardin. He is a retired farmer and she is a homemaker. Their children are Pat Jacobs of Golden Eagle; Dorothy Godar of Jerseyville; Karen Baltisberger of Brussels; John Baltisberger of Hardin and Mary Baltisberger of Wood River.

They have seven grandchildren. The family appreciates their family and friends making this such a happy and memorable day. The couple was also honored with entertainment throughout the day by Jim Jones, “The Country Cavalier”; to whom a special appreciation goes out to.

HELEN M. HEIDENREICH Helen M. Heidenreich passed away Wednesday, September 23, 2020 at her home.

On June 29, 1936 Helen was born to Phydella and Joe Ulery in Hamburg, IL. They preceded her in death.

She grew up with her younger sister, Mary, in Pancake Hollow. Just down the road lived Frank Heidenreich, whom she would later fall in love with and marry on June 6, 1959. Together they built and ran F&H Dairy Bar in Kampsville, IL for 13 years. They had two children, who Helen later stayed home to raise. Frank preceded her in death after 41 years of marriage.

She is survived by her sister Mary (James) Benz of Quincy, IL, two sons: Jody (Valerie) Heidenreich of Hamburg, IL and Matt (Lynn) Heidenreich of Heyworth, IL, four grandchildren: Jill (Jan) Van Veen of Bethalto, IL, Ethan Heidenreich of Mansfield, IL, Julie (Nick) Nobbs of Alton, IL, and Lauren Heidenreich of Bloomington, IL, and two

T

he Protestant reformer John Calvin used the Latin phrase “Sensus Divinitatus” to name a hypothetical sense that he believed we all have for the divine. That is, he believed that there is something innate in us that gives us knowledge of God. As he put it, “That there exists in the human mind and indeed by natural instinct, some sense of Deity [sensus divinitatis], we hold to be beyond dispute, since God himself, to prevent any man from pretending ignorance, has endued all men with some idea of his Godhead.”

Calvin had given a new name to an old idea. In Ecclesiastes 3:11 we are told that God “has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the human heart; yet no one can fathom what God has done from beginning to end.” Thus, while this innate sense doesn’t give us complete knowledge, it does allow us to sense God’s presence. Saint Anselm, when introducing his famous argument for the existence of

God, quotes Psalm 14, saying that the fool has said in his heart “there is no God.” But the fool is blinded by sin, and his belief that there is no God is in reality wishful thinking. Atheists often claim that theists are engaging in wishful thinking by hoping that they will spend eternity in paradise, but it might just as plausibly be argued that since all have sinned and wish to avoid our just desserts, some might wish that there is neither God nor an afterlife in which to reap our just desserts. Being open to the presence of God is often all we need to experience His presence.

Changes made to remote COVID-19 spurs Calhoun learning in Calhoun district Elementary to go remote

By JARAD JARMON Calhoun News Herald It was announced at the Calhoun School Board meeting last week that there will be changes in the second quarter for remote learners after concerns arose from poor success among a population of those exclusively remote learning.

It was decided that there will be some new requirements put into place for full-time remote learners during second quarter with one of the main requirements being that they must not be failing to continue on remote.

The first quarter ends Oct. 9.

Calhoun Superintendent Andrea Lee said it is has become an alarming problem among not only Calhoun students, but those across the state in remote learning. “What we are seeing with those that are full-time remote — not a high success rate with academic progress,� Lee said.

That may not be the case for every one of the remote learners, but many of them are simply not successful. “More than not, they are not remoting in, they are not attending their Zoom meetings, they are not turning in assignments and they are failing courses,â€? Lee said. â€œâ€ŚWe felt like there needed to be some additional guidelines that needed to be put into play if they were going to chose to stay home second quarter.â€?

So if they are failing, they may be asked to return to in-person learning, barring medical reasons to avoid doing so. If the parent still chooses to have their child go remote, despite their student’s academic standing and barring medical reasons, then they will be asked to meet with the superintendent. “We can’t ignore student failure,� Lee said.

The district still has to offer remote learning, but they are planning to make sure those remote learners don’t fall between the cracks.

In total, there are 24 remote learners in the district, not counting those students that have been in quarantine, and that number was dropping anyway.

Refering to sixth day enrollment figures, 96.5 percent of those in the elementary school chose in-person learning; 91.5 percent at the junior high and 93.3 percent at the high school.

Even still, the number of students exclusively learning remote is going down as the district moves into its second quarter with many interested, themselves, in returning to in-person learning. Lee said, at the end of the day, there is just something missing in the educational experience when students are on remote, despite teachers’ best efforts. “Our teachers are working so hard to provide the best for both in-person and remote,�

Lee said.

But, the amount of work they are being tasked with coupled with poor performances among remote learners has been draining. “They are spending 80 percent of their

time trying to figure out how to get those kids engaged, and it is taking its toll.�

Lee said the district has been mindful and provided a safe environment for students.

The district did have a few cases in the district, but they were all linked to happenings outside of the district.

Notably, for a three-day period recently, all of the district was on remote, because of a culmination of things happening within the county and the district — namely a boom in cases and deaths and a loss of staff in the district.

There were cases within the district– three as of Friday– Lee said, but the cases themselves did not sway the decision. Moreover, the decision was precautionary in nature for the county and served as a way for the district to regroup. “It was a culmination of things,â€? Lee said. â€œâ€ŚThe health department had a ton of pending cases out and testing out.â€?

The thought was that the school could do its part to help out and also deal with the recent losses within the district. “We can do our part to help with that (quarantine) by going ahead and taking a few days, be precautionary and go ahead and clean our buildings, because we were scraping by to get through with subs and things like that anyway. So, it just made sense.�

Lee stressed it was not directly related to the cases within the district. “We won’t close like that every time there is a case, necessarily� Lee said. “It is just the way it all went down. Like I said, the other things that happened in the district compounded with that.�

Also during the school board meeting: Q The fiscal year 2021 school budget was approved. Discussion included the noted decrease in revenues from EBF, CPPRT, and the 1 percent sales tax. There is also less revenue flowing because of the restrictions in athletic events. Estimated expenditures will see an increase because of COVID-19 with supplies for custodial, cafeteria and possibly instructional operations if more substitutes are needed.

Q The Poor Farm Hollow Road project was addressed. The project is set to widen the road, specifically in efforts to make the road more safe for bus traffic going in and out of the school, but also to combat the erosion issues as a result of the flooding on the section of road. There will be a strip of land utilized for the project so that the work can be completed through a grant received by the county.

Q Eric Kallal presented information regarding building a softball field by the elementary school. There has been $8,500 raised towards the project thus far. He noted that there were also people willing to donate time and equipment to help in the construction. No action was taken in regard to this.

Health officials warn of upcoming flu season

By JARAD JARMON Calhoun News-Herald It’s that time of year again– flu season.

And with this has come the call from health officials locally and nationally for people to get the annual flu vaccine, particularly this year during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Many people might not realize it, but the flu can be a very serious illness. It causes thousands of deaths in the United States every year, many of which are among previously healthy individuals. According to health officials, the best thing one can do to protect themselves and those around them is to get vaccinated before the flu starts circulating in the community.

Vaccination is especially important for certain people who are at “high risk� of serious complications from seasonal flu. People at high risk include adults age 65 years and older, children younger than five years of age, pregnant women and people of any age with certain chronic medical conditions like asthma, diabetes or heart and lung disease.

Those with the Calhoun Health Department have already started clinics for people to get their shot ahead of the upcoming season, and plan to offer after-hours clinics at various times throughout the month of October.

Calhoun County Health Department will be holding after-hours adult-only flu shot clinics: Q Thursday, Oct. 1 from 4-7 p.m., with a curbside clinic Q Saturday, Oct. 10, drive thru flu clinic from 10-12 p.m. located at Dollar General back lot.

Q Friday, Oct. 23, from 5-8 p.m., Boo to the Flu will be going drive thru this year, where staff will be in costume ready to give shots to children and adults.

No appointments required for these clinics. Please bring your ID and insurance card. “We are trying to reach as many people in the community as we can, because, as it has been said, it is even more important this year to get your flu shot — from even those who don’t typically [get it],� Kristi Allgood, registered nurse with the department, said.

It is also a concern among health officials of influenza cases cropping up, further putting stress on an already taxed healthcare system because of COVID-19. The hope is

that as people get their flu shot, they will inadvertently be keeping burden off of the healthcare system, Allgood said.

On a more individual scale, it is also a concern, though.

Allgood explained that influenza, like the coronavirus, is a respiratory illness and contracting such a virus could exacerbate those already with COVID-19. It also lowers an individual’s immune system, making them more susceptible to contracting the coronavirus.

Especially now, COVID-19 is something that is yet to be solved in the county, let alone the country. According to Calhoun health officials, there are 24 active cases in the county as of Saturday. This is more active cases in the county at one time than has ever been in the county before, based on updates made by the Calhoun Health Department.

This came after a boom in cases reported a week ago. There have been 63 cases of the virus in the county, as of Saturday, which is high when taking into account the nearly non-existent presence of the virus in the county in the months before September.

Calhoun County is still one of a dwindling group of counties in the state that have yet to see a death related to the virus.

Calhoun is also fairing better than neighboring counties — counties albeit with higher populations.

Jersey County has 26 active cases as of Sunday. According to the Jersey County Health Department, 354 have recovered from COVID-19 and 15 have died.

Greene County Health Department officials reported two new cases Monday bringing the total number of active cases in the county to 26. Also Monday, the Greene Health Department, in conjunction with the Greene County Coroner, reported Monday another COVID-19 death in that county.

This death is related to the long term care outbreak. There are 15 reported COVID-19 related deaths in Greene. One hundred and eighty-eight have officially recovered Of note, Greene and Jersey were recently removed from a list of counties at warning levels for COVID-19 in the state.

In total, Pike County has had one death in relation to COVID-19 as of Monday.

In total, there have been 134 cases in Pike County, according to the Illinois Department of Public Health.

ADVERTISE WITH CALHOUN NEWS-HERALD 618-498-1234

By CONNOR ASHLOCK Calhoun News-Herald No matter how well one abides by the established precautions for avoiding the spread of COVID-19, there will inevitably be situations that just can't be avoided.

For over half of the year now, those unavoidable run-ins with the virus have occurred in homes, businesses, hospitals and schools, among other places, and now it seems that the virus has found a way to affect the students and faculty at Calhoun Elementary.

Given the quick and prudent actions of administration, staff and families in the school, the situation was quickly contained before it got out of hand. “Calhoun Elementary had one positive case of an individual in the building and per precautionary measures, we did remote learning on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday last week,� Calhoun Elementary Principal Christie Lorsbach said. “We discussed our plan with the health department and followed their recommendations.�

Part of those precautions meant quarantining two entire grade levels in the school until Oct. 6, on which date those students who perhaps had more exposure will have already received the all-clear to return to school.

There was also an individual who was exposed to the virus, though that indi-

vidual did not contract the virus. In the meantime, those quarantined grades will continue to engage in remote learning. “We mopped all the floors, wiped down all the walls, door handles, bathrooms, which we clean twice a day anyway, but we went and re-cleaned them just to be safe,� Lorsbach explained. “On those three days when no one was in the building, all the custodial staff did was deep clean the whole school.�

This is the first instance in which the school has had to go into remote learning because of a confirmed case of the virus and case of possible exposure since the school year began, although the situation should be back to normal next week. “We were already following protocol with social distancing, mask wearing, hand washing and maintaining easy access to hand sanitizer,� Lorsbach explained. “Recesses are all outside with social distancing abided by and our music and physical education classes are all conducted outside so kids can spread out and have a break from wearing their mask.�

This just goes to show that you can do everything right and still have something go unexpectedly wrong. “We worked in conjunction with the health department, following their guidance and suggestions. That’s why we had whole class groups out in remote learning- as a precautionary measure,�

Lorsbach said.

Brussels community wants to see students play

By JARAD JARMON Calhoun News-Herald Among the crowds of parents, students and staff that showed up to the outdoor Brussels School Board meeting last week, it appeared a majority of the families in the district want to see their kids play in a way that is as close to normal as possible.

There were about 70 in attendance outside of the Brussels High School Tuesday, Sept. 22.

The goal of the meeting was to get an idea of where the public was at in regard to athletics in the district moving forward, with an intention of also demonstrating that the board does not make knee-jerk decisions. There was concern among some in the district about putting students in contact with other districts, where maybe they are not as careful about cleaning, masks, social distancing and other COVID-19 measures.

Those concerns did not represent a majority of the people that attended that evening, though. The meeting started off with a show of hands: Those who in the crowd were there to support continuing to have sports as usual — as usual as it can be following IHSA rules and regulations — and those who in the crowd saw it as too dangerous to expose these

kids to more risk. “A huge majority of people were there to support kids/ teams being able to play,�

Brussels Superintendent Mark Martin said.

It was further relayed through comments from coaches, students, parents and any other community members wishing to speak that these students should not be deprived of these sports. “Overwhelmingly, it was in support of continuing on how important it is, especially for the seniors to not be deprived of their activities— the traditional activities of high school,� Martin said.

A call was made for a motion to change the athletics programs in the district during the COVID-19 pandemic, but none was made. “There was no motion presented, so status quo prevailed, which is we are continuing to offer sports following IHSA and IESA guidelines,� Martin said.

While no motion was ultimately made, one calling to cancel sports at Brussels altogether was possible.

The board's move, or lack of move, to call the motion was met with cheers from the crowd.

There is still concern about student safety with athletics, especially in high contact sports, but the district will wade through how to go about offering play, safely.

“The less physical contact body to body, the less opportunity for some bad thing to be passed along,â€? Martin said. â€œâ€Ś I worry a little bit about basketball because there is so much close physical contact throughout a game.â€?

Even still though, current limitations in place at the state level are designed to limit any potential spread, such as where and with whom teams can play with.

Martin said the district is already looking at steps other districts are taking to keep students safe during play.

Like in Brussels, Calhoun is following along with state guidelines on the matter. “We are still just going to wait and see and follow along with whatever the IHSA guidance and the state’s guidance is on it,� Calhoun Superintendent Andrea Lee said. “We had some discussions with coaches and such earlier on. Obviously, we have junior high baseball and softball going on now.

We are still just plugging through and following whatever they put out.�

Madigan declines to testify to investigating committee House panel investigating House speaker to meet Tuesday

By PETER HANCOCK Capitol News Illinois House Speaker Michael Madigan said Friday that he will not testify before the House Special Investigating Committee that is probing his role in a bribery scheme involving utility giant Commonwealth Edison, and it’s not likely that most of the other potential witnesses that Republicans want to hear from will testify either.

In a two-and-a-half-page letter to the committee, Madigan called the committee “a political stunt” being orchestrated by House Republican Leader Jim Durkin, of Western Springs, and said the ongoing federal criminal investigation, “is more important than Mr. Durkin’s political theatrics.”

“For the record, I am not exercising my Fifth Amendment rights by not appearing before the committee,” Madigan wrote. “As I have said before, I have done nothing wrong.”

Madigan, a Chicago Democrat and the longest serving state legislative speaker in U.S. history, was implicated in the bribery scheme in July when officials with ComEd entered a deferred prosecution agreement with the U.S. Attorney’s office in which they admitted that over a period of years, they awarded jobs and contracts to close associates of Madigan in order to curry his favor for legislation that benefitted the company.

Madigan has not been charged, and the deferred prosecution agreement did not explicitly state that he had personally requested the favors or had direct knowledge of them at the time. He is referred to only as “Public Official A,” although the agreement makes clear the public official is the speaker of the Illinois House.

Republicans have filed a charge under House rules accusing him of “conduct unbecoming to a legislator or which constitutes a breach of public trust.” During the committee’s first meeting Sept. 10, GOP members introduced a list of witnesses they wanted to testify voluntarily. The list included Madigan along with several past and current employ-

ees of ComEd. The committee’s next scheduled meeting is Tuesday, Sept. 29. In a letter to committee Chairman Rep. Emanuel “Chris” Welch on Thursday, Durkin indicated that one ComEd representative had agreed to testify and that he and the GOP team’s attorney, Ron Safer, a former federal prosecutor, would lead the questioning.

Friday was the deadline for people on the proposed witness list to indicate whether they would testify. Durkin did not indicate which ComEd official had agreed to appear Tuesday. His spokeswoman referred questions about witness responses to Welch, who released letters late Friday from five of the proposed witnesses, all of whom said they were declining the invitation.

Those included Madigan, former ComEd CEO Anne Pramaggiore, and former ComEd lobbyists Michael McClain, a close confident of Madigan’s; Michael R. Zalewski, a former Chicago alderman; and Jay Doherty.

That leaves only Fidel Marquez, who was recently indicted in the bribery scheme, and John Hooker as potential witnesses. The list also includes unnamed “current or former employees of Commonwealth Edison.”

The committee has authority to issue subpoenas for witnesses and documents, but Republicans so far have not indicated they intend to pursue that option.

The job of the Special Investigating Committee is to determine whether there is sufficient evidence to support the proposed charge. That would require a majority vote on the six-member disciplinary panel, which is evenly divided between Republicans and Democrats.

If the committee votes to approve the charge, a second, 12-member disciplinary committee would be formed to conduct what amounts to a trial. If that panel finds Madigan guilty, it would send a resolution to the full House, along with recommended disciplinary action that could range from reprimand or censure to expulsion from the House.

17 Illinois counties at warning level for coronavirus disease Number of counties decreases from 24 last week

The Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH) Friday reported 24 counties in Illinois are considered to be at a warning level for novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19). A county enters a warning level when two or more COVID-19 risk indicators that measure the amount of COVID-19 increase.

Seventeen counties are currently reported at a warning level – Bond, Boone, Cass, Christian, Clinton, Crawford, DeWitt, Fayette, Grundy, Hamilton, Macon, Menard, Peoria, Putnam, Washington, Wayne and Winnebago.

Once on this list were Greene and Jersey counties.

Although the reasons for counties reaching a warning level varies, some of the common factors for an increase in cases and outbreaks are associated with university and college parties as well as college sports teams, large gatherings and events, bars and clubs, weddings and funerals, longterm care facilities, correctional centers, schools and cases among the community at large.

Public health officials are observing people not social distancing, gathering in large groups and not using face coverings. Some communities lack access to convenient testing before people become symptomatic. In some counties, local law enforcement and states’ attorneys are not enforcing important mitigation measures like social distancing and the wearing of face coverings. Additionally, some people refuse to participate in contact tracing and are not providing information on close contacts or answering the phone.

Several counties are taking swift action and imple-

menting mitigation measures to help slow spread of the virus, including increasing testing opportunities, stressing the importance of testing to providers, hiring additional contact tracers, working with schools, meeting with local leaders and educating businesses and large venues about the importance of mitigation measures.

IDPH uses numerous indicators when determining if a county is experiencing stable COVID-19 activity, or if there are warning signs of increased COVID-19 risk in the county. A county is considered at the warning level when at least two of the following metrics triggers a warning.

COVID-19 county metrics are: Q New cases per 100,000 people– If there are more than 50 new cases per 100,000 people in the county, this triggers a warning.

Q Number of deaths– This metric indicates a warning when the weekly number of deaths increases more than 20 percent for two consecutive weeks.

Q Weekly test positivity– This metric indicates a warning when the 7-day test positivity rate rises above 8 percent.

Q ICU availability– If there are fewer than 20 percent of intensive care units available in the region, this triggers a warning.

Q Weekly emergency department visits– This metric indicates a warning when the weekly percent of COVID-19-like-illness emergency department visits increase by more than 20 percent for two consecutive weeks.

Q Weekly hospital admissions– A warning is triggered when the weekly number of hospital admissions for COVID-19-like-illness increases by more than 20 percent for two consecutive weeks.

Q Tests performed– This metric is used to provide context and indicate if more

testing is needed in the county.

Q Clusters– This metric looks at the percent of COVID-19 cases associated with clusters or outbreaks and is used to understand large increase in cases.

These metrics are intended to be used for local level awareness to help local leaders, businesses, local health departments and the public make informed decisions about personal and family gatherings, as well as what activities they choose to do. The metrics are updated weekly, from the SundaySaturday of the prior week.

A map and information of each county’s status can be found on the IDPH website at https://www.dph.illinois. gov/countymetrics.

Duck race still a go, but scaled back further

By JARAD JARMON Calhoun News-Herald It was already going to be a scaled back version of the event local people have come to know, but organizers are cutting back even further in lieu of growing COVID-19 numbers in the county.

“We didn’t want to take any chances spreading it further,” Amanda Kaufman, race organizer, said.

A couple of weeks ago, a swath of positive cases cropped up in the county, and as of Saturday, the virus has continued to spread between many individuals in the county. According to Calhoun Health

Department officials, there are 24 active cases in the county.

Earlier this month, there was a two-week period with no positive COVID-19 cases, but in a short time that number grew.

Kaufman said they want to be extra cautious this year, and with that has come the cancelation of everything outside of the actual race. The ducks are still set to drop at 2 p.m. with golden ducks dropping shortly after.

It is encouraged that those planning on attending bring lawn chairs or blankets.

Also too, organizers plan to live stream the drop on social media. Social distancing and mask wearing is encouraged.

Energy assistance open to locals Michael Kelly, Executive Director for the Illinois Valley Economic Development Corporation has announced that Illinois Valley has been designated by the Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity to operate the 2021 Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) in the counties of Calhoun, Jersey, Greene and Macoupin.

The LIHEAP program is designed to help eligible households meet their home energy costs.

LIHEAP provides a onetime benefit for income-eligible renters and homeowners in the form of a credit to utility providers to help pay energy costs. LIHEAP may also provide assistance to restore utility services to eligible households who have been disconnected.

LIHEAP applications are taken on a first-come, firstserved basis through June 30, 2021, or until funding is exhausted. There will be no priority groups under the new program year. Households in need of energy assistance, especially those with disconnection notices, high past due balances and the general population that has been most likely affected by wage fluctuations because of

COVID-19 are encouraged to apply.

In addition, propane customers are strongly encouraged to apply late summer early fall when prices are at its lowest.

The reconnection assistance program component began July 27. This applies to households who are disconnected and/or have an imminent threat of disconnection.

The furnace assistance program component began July 27 for all eligible homeowners with an inoperable heating system. It will continue until April 30, 2021, or when funds are exhausted.

Because of the COVID19 pandemic, IVEDC will offer appointments through the phone and mail with limited in-person appointments at this time. Please call your local outreach office to set up an appointment to discuss your application.

When applying for LIHEAP, applicants must provide copies of their most recent heating and electric bills in their name, proof of income for all household members for the last 30 days beginning with the date of the application, and Social Security numbers for all household members. Failure to present complete documen-

Our Core Values

tation will result in delayed processing or possible denial of application.

The 30-day income guidelines have increased for LIHEAP and are now based on 200 percent of the Federal Poverty Level. A single person household can qualify with a monthly income of up to $2,127; a two-person household up to $2$2,873; a family of three can earn up to $3,620; and a family of four can earn up to $4,367.

Applicants should call their local county office to schedule an appointment.

O

ct. 4 St. Norberts will be holding a fund raising event (Duck Race) on the village river front in Hardin. The Village of Hardin is requesting that all in attendance follow the CDC guidelines in accordance to the social distancing and wearing face masks when necessary to ensure the safety of all in attendance.

'Pumpkin Man' to sit out fall season

By MEAGAN MCGLASSON Calhoun News-Herald The residents of the tri-county area are blessed with an abundance of roadside produce stands, farmers markets and local vendors selling their colorful fruits and vegetables for much of April through October.

Though most have preferred produce stands or family farms they like to do business with, in Jerseyville and the surrounding area, perhaps no one has as much of a profile or a following as “the Pumpkin Man” Frank Abbott. This year, because of injury and concerns regarding COVID-19, Abbot says he will not be selling pumpkins this fall.

“I want to be down there for the public and their kids — I mean I get a kick out of it,” Abbot said. “But there’s nothing I can do about it, between two things: COVID19 and what I did to my wrist has stopped me in my tracks.”

The decision to sit out this year wasn’t easy. What started as a wait-and-see approach to coronavirus and its toll on the community was compounded when a wrist injury was slower to heal than Abbot had hoped.

“I couldn’t lift the pumpkins to load them,” said Abbott, who has spent nearly six months in physical therapy for the wrist injury. “And it’s not too safe to be out right now anyway. I’m 80 years old.”

Abbott is perhaps a surprising celebrity. A private man who lives on a 65-acre family farm dating back to the 1800s, he didn’t start out his career locally. Rather, he and a cousin initially took pumpkins and other produce up to Chicago to sell at an ill-fated year-round produce stand

near Chicago.

“He had a big mouth and that put an end to that,” Abbott recalled with a laugh.

So the business moved further and further south until one year when Abbott found himself with wholesale pumpkins that weren’t picked up by an expected transport, and he decided to bring them into Jerseyville to sell for wholesale prices.

“I got such a turnout of people, there was no going back,” he said of that first year. “There’s so many people that can’t afford to buy that kind of thing for their families. I get a joy out of doing things like that for other people, so that was the end of that (traveling to sell pumpkins).”

Abbott can recall many of the regulars and even some of the one-time buyers he’s helped across the years including a grandmother who was able to give a pumpkin to each of her grandchildren for the first time and numerous workers who were down on their luck and just needed a way to earn some cash.

“I end up giving a lot of them away, actually,” Abbott admitted. “And if I don’t have what they’re looking for, I tell them where they can go get it.”

Abbott’s pumpkin trailer has popped up at many different locations across Jerseyville throughout the years, including the lot next to the former 518 South Restaurant and in later years the parking lot outside the old Medicine Shoppe on State Street. Abbott was forced to move a few times by anonymous complaints that he believes stemmed from the low cost of his pumpkins compared to others around town.

“They were trying to run me off of there because they knew I was selling

Illinois Fall Trout Season opens Oct. 17 The 2020 Illinois Fall Trout Fishing Season opens Saturday, Oct. 17 at more than 50 ponds, lakes, and streams throughout the state.

An early opportunity at select trout sites – the Fall Catch-andRelease Fishing Season – will open Oct. 3 at locations marked with an asterisk (*) 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. 17.

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

No trout may be taken from any of the stocked sites from Oct. 1 until the fall trout season opens Oct. 17. 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. 17 — 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 Illinois resident on leave from active duty in the Armed Forces. The daily catch limit for each angler is five trout.

Illinois fishing licenses and Inland Trout Stamps are available at DNR Direct license and permit locations, including many bait shops, sporting goods stores and other retail outlets.

Check the IDNR website at: https://www2.illinois.gov/dnr/ LPR/Pages/LicensePermitVendors.aspx Fishing licenses and trout stamps also can be purchased by using a credit card through DNR Direct online via the IDNR website at https://www2. illinois.gov/dnr.

Not all of the fall trout sites listed below open at 5 a.m. on opening day. Anglers are reminded to check the opening time of their favorite trout fishing location prior to the season.

For more information about all

site regulations, anglers should contact individual sites that will be stocked with catchable-size trout.

Participants in Fall Trout Fishing Season are reminded to follow current public health directives, including maintaining social distancing guidelines, bringing with them masks in case social distancing cannot be maintained and hand sanitizer containing at least 60 percent alcohol.

The Forest Preserves of Cook County has not made a final decision on opening for trout season, due to conditions related to COVID-19. Please check the FPCC website at fpdcc.com for updates closer to Oct. 17, 2020.

lower than they was,” he said.

Still Abbott recalls always telling people where to go to get the best deal on pumpkins, even if it wasn’t from his stand. For many though, the price of a free pumpkin just can’t be beat.

“This little guy was about three-foot tall, and he was eyeing up this 35-pound pumpkin, and I said, ‘If you can get it off the ground it’s yours.’ He was trying to lift it. He got it off the ground, his daddy said, ‘You put that back!’ I told him, ‘No, he picked it out of the grass, it’s his.’ He surprised me. I couldn’t believe he lifted that pumpkin off the ground!” he recalled, laughing.

For just about every year and pumpkin, there’s a story, whether it’s about the schoolteacher who gifted Abbott a plaque that hangs above his piano after he donated a pumpkin for every kid in her school or about the pumpkin painter who used to sell her art outside his stand.

Across all of them, the narrative always turns back to kindness and connection between Abbott and the community he loves.

“You can see people and help people all over the place-- you can see their struggle. So I just help them out. A lot of them’s got more money than I got by far, but that’s not what it’s about,” he said.

And Abbott fully intends to return next year, should his wrist, and the pandemic cooperate. He even hopes to be able to sell more produce at wholesale prices, truly helping out the people who need it most.

“I’ll have a lot of upset people this year. I've been worried about that,” he said. “But, there’s no way I’ll stop (and miss next year) as long as I got my health.”

Hardin, Illinois

Pritzker announces $140 million in grants to health centers COVID-19 test positivity rate inches up; 2,514 new cases confirmed

By PETER HANCOCK Capitol News Illinois Federally Qualified Health Centers in Illinois and other health facilities that have been on the front lines in the state’s battle against COVID-19 are in line to receive $140 million in grants to help them maintain operations.

Gov. JB Pritzker made that announcement Friday during a news conference at one such clinic, the Howard Brown Health Center in Chicago.

“Our state is among the best in class when it comes to fighting COVID-19 because we’ve put people first, and our health care providers have had a key role in making that possible,” Pritzker said.

“But for many providers, that work has come at a significant financial cost, from maintaining payroll to spending extra on personal protective equipment, to taking extra precautions in ambulance services for COVID-positive individuals.”

“In short, we’re giving direct dollars to our direct responders,” he added.

Federally Qualified Health Centers, or FQHCs, have accounted for a large part of the state’s COVID-19 testing program where tests are available free of charge, regardless of a person’s ability to pay or citizenship status.

In addition to FQHCs, Pritzker said grants will also go to safety-net hospitals and long-term care facilities. In addition, he said, the state plans to launch a web portal next week to allow smaller health care providers to apply for funding.

David Ernesto Munar, president and CEO of Howard Brown Health, said that health center saw a 70 percent drop in its

in-person visits due to the stay-at-home order that was in place during the early months of the pandemic. And while he said that was necessary to control the spread of the disease, it cut deeply into the clinic’s regular revenue stream, although some of that loss was offset by a state rule that allowed them to bill for telehealth services.

Funding for the grants comes from aid the state has received through the federal Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security, or CARES Act, which Congress passed in March.

Theresa Eagleson, director of the Illinois Department of Healthcare and Family Services, said the delay in disbursing the money was due largely to the need to comply with federal restrictions on how the money is used. She also noted that 60 percent of the money will be targeted in areas that have been disproportionately affected by the coronavirus pandemic.

The announcement of the grants came on a day when the Illinois Department of Public Health reported 2,514 new confirmed cases of COVID-19, along with an additional 25 confirmed virus-related deaths over the previous 24 hours. That brought the statewide totals to 283,885 cases and 8,563 deaths since the start of the pandemic.

Laboratories reported processing 69,793 tests over the previous 24 hours, which made for a single-day positivity rate of 3.6 percent. The seven-day rolling average positivity rate rose a tenth of a percentage point to 3.6 percent.

As of Thursday night, 1,637 people in Illinois were reported hospitalized with

COVID-19. Of those, 371 patients were in intensive care units, and 124 of those patients with COVID-19 were on ventilators.

IDPH also reported Friday that 17 counties in Illinois are at the warning level for a resurgence of COVID-19 cases, down from 24 counties a week ago. A county enters the warning level when it crosses a threshold in two or more indicators of an increase in disease spread.

The counties currently at that level are Bond, Boone, Cass, Christian, Clinton, Crawford, DeWitt, Fayette, Grundy, Hamilton, Macon, Menard, Peoria, Putnam, Washington, Wayne, and Winnebago.

Also during the news conference, Pritzker spoke about news that had just broken that a federal judge in California had blocked the Trump administration’s effort to end early the door-to-door head counting for the 2020 U.S. Census. Trump had ordered that the census count end next week, on Sept. 30, but barring any reversal of the decision by a higher court, the head count will continue through Oct. 31.

Pritzker urged anyone who hasn’t yet filled out the census to do so online at my2020census.gov.

He also took a number of questions regarding the proposed constitutional amendment on the November general election ballot that would allow Illinois to levy a graduated income tax.

Earlier in the day, House Republican Leader Jim Durkin, of Western Springs, and Deputy Leader Tom Demmer, of Dixon, held a virtual news conference accusing the Pritzker administration of threatening a massive tax increase across

Expired driver’s licenses and ID cards date extended Illinois Secretary of State Jesse White announced that expiration dates for driver’s licenses and ID cards have been extended an additional three months – from Nov. 1 until Feb. 1, 2021.

This new Feb. 1 extension also includes those who have October, November, December and January expiration dates. As a result, expired driver’s licenses and ID cards will remain valid until Feb. 1, 2021, so customers do not need to rush into driver services facilities during the pandemic.

“Extending expiration dates until February

1 means people with an expired driver’s license and ID card do not need to visit a Driver Services facility immediately,” White said.

“During this pandemic, we continue to think creatively to serve the public as efficiently as possible, while making public health and safety our top priority.”

License plates stickers remain extended until Nov. 1, 2020, as they can easily be renewed online.

White continues to urge the public to consider using online services when possible instead of visiting a facility due to heavy customer volume. Customers

who can conduct business online may go to www. cyberdriveillinois.com to take advantage of online services – such as renewing license plate stickers, obtaining a duplicate driver’s license or ID card, obtaining a driving record abstract or renewing a standard driver’s license through the Safe Driver renewal program – from the comfort of their own home.

People who conduct online transactions will avoid waiting in line at a facility.

White noted that online transactions continue to rise, with an increase of 84 percent in online license

plate sticker renewals when compared to the same period in 2019.

White recently extended the driver’s license expiration date by one year for qualified drivers age 75 and older. The new expiration date is their birthday in 2021.

For those customers who must visit a facility, face masks are required. In addition, customers are asked to be patient because of heavy volume and to be prepared to wait outside in various types of weather. This is due to social distancing, which limits the number of people inside a facility at one time.

the board if voters do not approve the amendment. That was based on comments that Lt. Gov. Juliana Stratton had made the previous day, but Pritzker said Republicans were taking those comments out of context.

Pritzker repeated the argument he has often made that the state of Illinois was suffering from a structural budget deficit, even before the pandemic, and he said there are only a certain number of ways to address that.

One, he said, would be to raise the current flat rate by a full percentage point, to 5.9 percent. Another would be to cut state spending by 15 percent across the board, which he said would result in large property tax increases statewide to fund public schools.

The third choice, he said, is the proposed amendment that would raise taxes on people earning more than $250,000, about 3 percent of the state’s population, while leaving tax rates the same or cutting them for the other 97 percent.

“And the best direction that we should go to deal with this is to make sure that we’re asking those who are most able to step up to pay to do so – those are the wealthiest in our state … and that’s the direction that I think we ought to go. And that’s what the lieutenant governor was talking about.”

good GROWING Keeping you growing with good ideas s University of Illinois Extension

They’re not just in spring; bulbs bloom in Fall When it comes to bulbs, this time of year, much of our attention is focused on getting ready to plant spring-blooming bulbs, and rightfully so.

From crocus and daffodils to tulips and alliums, these plants provide a burst of color early in the year before many of our landscape plants begin blooming. While spring blooming bulbs get most of the attention, there are some bulbs that will bloom in the fall that can also provide a splash of color.

Autumn Crocus (Colchicum spp.)

Despite their common name, these plants aren’t true crocus. In fact, they aren’t even in the same family. Colchicum belongs to the Colchicaceae family (formerly part of the lily family, Liliaceae), while Crocus is in the iris family (Iridaceae). There are approximately 65 species Colchicum with C. autumnale being the most commonly

grown along with a variety of hybrids.

Colchicums will begin producing leaves in the spring. Each bulb (actually a corm) will produce three to eight leaves that are 8-14-inches tall. As the weather begins to warm in late spring and early summer, the leaves will begin to die back. Then, in early fall, the plants will begin to produce flowers.

Each plant typically produces between three and eight flower stalks, each having one flower. The 2-3-inch blooms can last for up to two weeks and are usually light pink, but some cultivars are white.

Colchicums are hardy to Zone 5 and grow best in well-drained soils in full sun or partial shade. Ideally, they should be in full sun conditions while they have leaves.

Since their leaves can be unattractive, some people interplant them with plants that bloom in the spring and early summer

to hide the foliage.

Crocus (Crocus spp.)

While spring blooming crocuses get a majority of the attention, there are several species of crocus that will bloom in the fall. The most commonly grown species is probably Crocus speciosus, also called autumn crocus.

Like other crocus species, C. speciosus produces leaves in the spring that will die back as temperatures begin to warm. In September or October, the plants will send up 6-7-inch tall flower stalks that have typical goblet-shaped crocus flowers that are violet-blue to mauve.

Saffron crocus (Crocus sativus), while not the most widely grown fall-blooming crocus, is probably the most known. This is the plant that the spice saffron comes from.

The plants grow 4-6-inches tall and have lilac-purple flowers that open a few weeks

after C. speciosus. Each flower produces three reddish-orange stigmas which are harvested and dried to create saffron.

Most fall-blooming crocuses are hardy to Zone 3. One exception is the saffron crocus, which is hardy to Zone 6. Crocuses do best in sunny locations that are welldrained.

Like spring-blooming bulbs, many fall blooming bulbs can be planted in the fall, while others like Colchicum spp. are planted in mid to late summer. Next time you’re looking to purchase some bulbs, consider adding some fall-blooming bulbs. They can be a great colorful addition to your fall landscape.

Good Growing Tip of the Week: It takes about 250,000 stigmas from 75,000 saffron crocus flowers to produce 1 pound of saffron, all of which is handpicked. Now you know why saffron is so expensive.
