Residents raise concern after stop to levee repair

By KRIS SCHEFFEL Calhoun News-Herald The Army Corps of Engineers has wrapped up work for the year on the Nutwood Levee following the completion of a coffer dam to protect the breach site, which has yet to be repaired.

Residents are concerned that the postponement may result in potential disaster when the spring rains come.

The Army Corps is conducting repairs to the Nutwood Levee in two parts or contracts. The first contract, which as of Thursday has been completed, saw the filling in of the scour holes, the building of the coffer dam and an assessment of the damage to

Sue Casseau Army Corps of Engineers public affairs specialist the levee.

The scour holes were enormous pits located under and around the levee where the flood waters dug out soil and sediment. The Corps has imported sand from Louisana, Mo. to fill in some of these holes.

The coffer dam, which has now

been completed, is a large structure put in place as a temporary measure to stabilize the levee and protect the breach site, which is estimated to be around 300 yards wide.

The second contract will fill in the rest of the scour holes and address the levee’s breach site. The Corps has

made a decision to delay this work until next year, said Brett Gettings, Nutwood Levee District Manager. “We were hoping they were going to stay out there, but apparently not,� he said. “I think that’s all they were planning to do... They never told us that until they were done with the coffer dam.�

Sue Casseau, public affairs specialist for the Corps, said that the Corps has made the determination that with the coffer dam now complete, they have the necessary protection to enable them to seek out the necessary materials at a lower cost to complete the second contract’s work.

Lawmaker seeks to reinstate death penalty Calhoun State’s Attorney supportive of move

By JARAD JARMON Calhoun News-Herald A Republication lawmaker has filed legislation to reinstate the death penalty in Illinois.

The bill was introduced earlier in October and has been stuck in the Rules Committee since Oct. 17.

Calhoun County State’s Attorney Rick Ringhausen has doubt it will be reinstated, but was supportive of the idea, philosophically.

Ringhausen said the country, or the state in this case, should have the right to protect citizens internally by removing serious threats to the community.

Should it make it through the legislature and the governor, Ringhausen said it would be a case by case basis whether he personally would seek this punishment. He noted he likes to look at all options, though, when looking at any case. “I would hope I never have to,� he said.

The lawmaker who proposed this reinstatement saw this as an “effective tool� to dissuade violent crime. State Rep. David McSweeney, R-Barrington Hills, first announced his intention to introduce the bill in August, after mass shootings in El Paso, Texas, and Dayton, Ohio, killed 31 people.

The Capital Crimes Litigation Act of 2019, filed Thursday, would restore state death penalty law to what it was eight years ago before former Gov. Pat Quinn signed a law eliminating the measure.

Its purpose, according to the measure, is to “have the death penalty serve as a deterrent to

violent crime with the specific goal of reducing mass shootings, serial killings, and gun violence.�

At the time Quinn abolished capital punishment in Illinois, making it the 16th state to do so, he said the state should not have a system in place that might result in the killing of wrongfully-convicted citizens.

McSweeney said DNA technology has advanced “tremendously,� and added the state needs “to take special care� to ensure wrongful convictions are not carried out.

The bill includes language that, if successfully passed into law, indicates the General Assembly “has confidence in the ability of crime laboratory biochemical testing ... to reduce or eliminate wrongful criminal convictions in Illinois.�

Democrats have supermajorities in the House and Senate, and there is no evidence the legislation has wide support in either chamber. McSweeney said it will “take time to build up� approval, but he plans to start a conversation to have his bill heard at the committee level. “I don’t know if I’m going to get a hearing in the short run, but I’m sure going to focus on trying to get one,� McSweeney said. “We still have violence and violent criminals in Illinois, and I hope we get (the death penalty) back. We need to get tough on crime.�

He added the bill is “simple� — it adds back to the books only what was removed to abolish capital punishment — and it is not something he (See, DEATH PENALTY, A3)

Calhoun schools see growth Calhoun seniors learning in state report cards realities of college process

By KRIS SCHEFFEL Calhoun News-Herald The tests are in and the reports are out with the release of the 2019 Illinois School Report Card on Oct. 28.

The report measures schools and students based on the results of standardized tests, such as the Illinois Assessment of Readiness (IAR) and the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT), graduation rates and

college preparedness among a number of other factors.

Calhoun County’s two school districts, Brussels and Calhoun, both saw growth from last year’s Report Card, but there is still room for improvement Brussels Superintendent Mark Martin said. “I am pleased to see that our graduation rate has improved,� he said. “We still (See, REPORT CARDS, A3)

n Nov. 4, Calhoun High School hosted the second of its informational sessions on Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).

Many students have already submitted their college applications prior to the recommended Nov. 1 deadline, but the application is only the beginning of the process for these students.

With increasing tuition, there is a changing attitude towards higher education within secondary schools.

Dylan Ringhausen, guidance counselor at Calhoun High School, said he has already helped eight of the 22 in this year’s senior class apply to four-year colleges.

The application process, Ringhausen said, hasn’t changed much over the years with the exception of a shift in focus

toward online applications. “It’s all digital now,�

Ringhausen said. “Everything can be done online... It’s a lot quicker.�

For example, the application process for Lewis and Clark Community College (LCCC), Ringhausen said, only takes five to ten minutes online, and students find out relatively quickly whether or not they have been accepted at their school of choice.

Despite increasing tuition, more students than ever are applying to colleges and universities.

With that added costs are piling up. One student Ringhausen helped had to pay $70 just to apply to a four-year university.

Ringhausen points to the influx of applicants as part of the reason. “It’s to the point now that college is oversaturated,� he said. “It’s almost to the point that a college degree is like a high school degree.�

However, Ringhausen is one of (See, COLLEGE, A5)

US government is changing Letter to the editor County needs to better financial position on UFOs

By BILL HOAGLAND For years, the US government conducted a secret study regarding Unidentified Flying Objects (UFOs).

First, there was Project Blue Book, which was a study done by the US Air Force from 1947 to 1967 to determine the source and existence of unidentified objects observed in the sky by military personnel.

Later, a federally funded study, known as the Advanced Aerospace Threat Indentification Program, was conducted from 1992 until 2012.

The results of those two studies for years were classified and not available to the general public. Now, some, but not all, of this information is available to the public if you know how to look for it.

Here is some background on why there appears to be a change in attitude within the US Government regarding disclosure of UFO investigations and the encouragement that these sightings be reported without fear of reprisal or ridicule.

In December 2017, two US Navy jet pilots based on the USS Nimitz aircraft carrier were flying at 25,000 feet altitude along the California coast when they encountered an object on their radar screens that caught their attention.

It appeared to be flying at supersonic speed and was performing maneuvers that defied established principles of physics. In addition, this flying object had no visible signs as to how it was being propelled; there was no exhaust and no visible wings or other structures to explain how it was able to maintain its loft in the sky.

The object was tracked on radar and this radar tracking was preserved for further study after the encounter ended. It was eventually released for public viewing on the internet; it is available on YouTube if you haven’t seen it.

Within the last two months, the US Navy has officially acknowledged that the images on that radar screen in December 2017 are “real” images.

In other words, whatever those pilots encountered and recorded really did exist; it was not the proverbial “weather ballon” that was historically used to explain away unidentified objects in the sky. The issue that is still unresolved is whether that object is something that has been secretly developed by a foreign government or whether it is from an extraterrestrial source.

The December 2017 encounter led US Navy officials to conclude that regardless whether this object was a secret new weapon of a foreign government or whether it came from an extraterrestrial source makes no difference; these encounters need to be publicized for a number of reasons.

First, by encouraging disclosure of these sightings, military personnel should no longer feel they will be subject to criticism or ridicule if they report an unusual aerial sighting. Second, because these sightings are “real,” we need to find out more about them and not put our heads in the sand any longer or pretend that they don’t occur.

Fact is, they are occurring and they will continue to occur. What if these unidentified objects are in fact secret new weapons being developed by Russia, China or some other country? We clearly would need that information for our own protection and that

support fire department

is the impetus for this desire to be more open about what is being observed.

To further encourage disclosure, the US Navy has issued new mandatory guidelines for their personnel to report these sightings; this is to insure that these sightings get properly reported and not pitched in a wastebasket.

I recently read a report containing all of the official unidentified aerial sightings contained in the Project Blue Book summary, covering the period from 1947 to 1967. There were 218 incidents during that period that cannot be explained.

Most of these incidents involved sightings by military personnel who are generally better trained than civilians to critically observe these episodes.

But the fact is that many more incidents were never reported up the chain of command out of fear of reprisal or ridicule. In fact, I know of at least one incident that was not included in the list of 218, and I have to assume this was because of that fear factor.

That incident was described to me by a friend who had spent his entire working career in the aviation industry as a pilot, radar operator, and even as the owner/operator of a private airport. I have absolutely no reason to doubt his credibility.

This particular incident involving my friend occurred in the early 1950’s.

At the time, my friend was an enlisted man in the US Air Force assigned to a radar installation on the California coast. His job was to monitor a radar scan focused on incoming traffic from the Pacific Ocean.

One night, he saw an object on the screen that was traveling across the screen at a supersonic rate of speed—way beyond the

speed of any plane in existence at the time. Then, as it reached the center of his screen, it came to a complete stop and remained stationary for several minutes-- long enough for him to notify the appropriate personnel of a potential threat.

Two jet fighters were immediately dispatched to intercept this object. As the jets approached the unidentified object, which was still stationary and could be seen on the radar screen, my friend could see the jets entering the screen from the right.

Suddenly, as they approached this object, it suddenly accelerated with a great burst of speed in a different direction and immediately left the coverage of the screen. The actions of this unidentified object defied any rational explanation, but this episode never made it to the Project Blue Book report.

There are probably plenty of other incidents that received the same treatment as this one.

Perhaps, the new approach will help us get to the bottom of what exactly is going on out there.

Note: The government is now officially referring to these sightings as “unidentified aerial phenomenon” (UAP) rather than UFOs. This, again, is to reduce the stigma of claiming to have seen something that has no rational explanation.

TO THE EDITOR: Public safety purposes means crime prevention, detention, fire fighting, police, medical, ambulance or other emergency services.

In 2010, there were many people trying to sell the citizens on paying more taxes.

Those taxes were to go primarily to the sheriff’s office. The citizens were not fooled into giving the law enforcement more money.

The safety tax referendum failed to pass in 2010. In 2012, there was a transformation of the law. The law was dressed up in new finery. The new finery was that the fire department, ambulance service, and health department would share in those taxes. There were claims made that the people coming into the county would pay a lot of those taxes, plus a few notable people were pushing the passage.

That was just enough smoke to get the law passed. In 2017, when the North Calhoun Fire Protection District requested some of the money, the truth came out. I was told that some county board members became angry.

One county board member said the public safety tax was originally established to help the county cover the cost of the Calhoun County Sheriff’s Office. You notice the truth finally came out after the law was passed.

This same county board member wanted the fire department to exhaust other options for raising money.

The north Calhoun fire department was frying fish at old settler’s day like they always do. They fried up 400 pounds of fish.

They do not have a heated building to house their equipment because of the flood. If they do not have heated housing, there will be no fire department.

They will not be able to store water in the

trucks. It will take up to a half hour to fill the tanks and that’s if the truck will even start.

One fireman told me the best thing you can do is put all your valuables in a box next to the door and grab it as you run out the door.

The important factor here is if there is no fire service within 5 miles of your home, fire insurance rates will drastically go up. One more thing the county commissioners forget is the fire and ambulance services are all voluntary. No fire service; you may only loose your house. No ambulance service; you may loose your life. If people are going to use the fire and ambulance service as an excuse to get a law passed, maybe they should get some money when they need it. The county board should be ashamed for negating the volunteers, by denying those funds.

Maybe the sheriff should follow the recommendations a county board member wanted to impose on the volunteers. Maybe the sheriff could fry fish at the next old settler’s day or have a bake sale. If the sheriff needs more money, maybe he should exhaust other options for raising money, like writing tickets or charging for taxi rides and lockouts.

One more thing, I have heard rumblings about wanting health insurance for the deputies. We may be seeing another vote on the safety tax. Hold on to your wallets! Let me leave you with some figures since the safety tax was passed. Monies received: Q County general fund and sheriff, $592,431.62 Q Health department, $127,375 Q North Calhoun fire, $2,000 Q Hardin fire, $2,000

First Presbyterian Church of Kampsville sold

By KRIS SCHEFFEL Calhoun News-Herald Kampsville’s First Presbyterian Church has a renewed purpose following its recent sale in September.

The building has had a long and storied history within the community having survived several floods during the over 100 years it has stood.

Now the church starts a new chapter in its history, having been bought by William Agney whose family runs Calhoun Country Christmas, a holiday gift shop, in Kampsville.

The church was built between 1908 and 1910 following the organization of the

Presbyterian Church by Thomas Haynes from Alton in 1897. According to the History of Calhoun County, Haynes followed in the footsteps of Reverend M.A. Stone, a Sunday school missionary, who had first organized the Sunday school.

For the first few years, services were conducted out of the school house and subsequently, in the hall over the Rose Store before the church’s construction. The cost of the land was $300 at the time, and the building’s construction cost $2,500.

Throughout the years, the church has seen a number of pastors including George B. Smith, James R. Sager, C.P. Grahma, Thomas A. McElewain, S.S. Moore, W.J. Caldwell, W.B. Worrel and Lyle D. Stone.

Rev. Paul Frazier was the last to lead services.

The church has survived numerous floods over the years, rebuilding and recovering from each one. In the 1973, the church sustained extensive damages from the water and termites. Plans were put into motion to raise the church 40 inches, making the church stand 10 inches above the 1973 flood stage.

However, the raising of the church was no match for the 1993 flood. The church had water 17 to 18 inches deep. After it receded, the church was partly gutted and repainted. Only two years prior, the church had been remodeled, and is now has new owners.

(Continued from A1) “It’s a combination of finding the best resources and building in the best season,” she said.

Gettings said that farmers along the levee are worried about the delay.

“About 100 feet away is the river,” he said.

Residents have also raised concerns about the delay. In a Facebook post on the Access Calhoun page, resident Michele Meyer-Gettings expressed worry that the dam may not hold up to next spring’s rains.

Access Calhoun is a local group that formed with goals to push for action on flood mitigation efforts largely centered on access to and from Calhoun following flood events like the one the area experienced this year.

Report cards (Continued from A1) want to do better.”

Calhoun School District The two schools in Calhoun School District received an overall designation of ‘Commendable.’

Student attendance rates are above the state average of 94 percent with 96 percent of Calhoun students present.

The district is spending more per pupil in instructional spending than in previous years with 2018 spending at $5,230 per student as compared to $5,030 in 2017. This is almost $3,000 less than the state’s average amount of $8,172 on instruction spending per pupil.

The district has seen a large jump in SAT test results. In 2018, the number of students that met or exceeds standards in English Language Arts (ELA) and math was 22 percent for each. In 2019, 55 percent of students tested met or exceeded standards in ELA, and 50 percent met or exceeded standards in math.

Calhoun has seen a slight decline in science proficiency in the third through eighth-graders who took the IAR . Students in fifth grade, eighth grade, and high school biology are included in these results. Approximately 38 percent of Calhoun’s students are considered to be proficient in science as compared to the state average of 49 percent.

Prescription Assistance Programs: During Medicare enrollment season we see a lot of frightening prescription costs. There are some prescription assistance programs available to Medicare beneficiaries who meet certain

eligibility requirements.

The easiest program to access is Extra Help from Social Security. Applicants can make up to $2,114 in monthly gross income (married; $1,561 for individuals) have up to $28,720 in countable assets ($14,930 for individuals).

Social Security doesn’t count an individual’s home, car, personal belongings, life insurance, or burial policies towards this limit. What does count is your gross monthly income from all sources and any money you have in checking, savings, CDs, annuities, 401k plans, additional properties, etc.

Applications can be made online here at the Senior Center. We are also glad to help you with identifying prescription savings programs such as Prescription Hope, Rx Outreach, manufacturer programs and more.

Each program has its own requirements for eligibility and applicants usually must provide proof of income at the time of application. Our office can help identify these resources and help you complete the application.

mally do, chances are we will flood again,” she said.

Casseau emphasized the Corps has taken into consideration the seasons and risks that come with them.

“It is not something that we are just walking away from,” Casseau said.

“Whatever spring brings to us... it will not be a surprise.”

She noted that the task at hand is much more substantial than it may first appear with the engineers assessing the entire levee for potential weaknesses.

“We need to assess damage beyond the breach itself,” she said. “We don’t want to miss the damage along the levee.”

With winter around the corner, the Corps is utilizing this time to wrap up their assessments and ensure that they have the necessary materials come

spring. The Corps is not taking the danger posed by melting snows and spring showers lightly, Casseau indicated.

“We know this is not the permanent fix,” Casseau said. “We’re talking about protecting human life and property and lifelong investments. If there is a threat before March, we will act before March.”

For now, the coffer dam will provide the primary protection against the waters which remain at flood stage as of this week. Grafton has crested, according to data from the National Weather Service, with waters predicted to drop below flood stage by mid-November. Hardin, on the other hand, is predicted to remain above flood stage at around 25 feet by mid-November.

For questions regarding the levee, residents can contact the Corps of Engineers at 314-331-8000.

ing the past couple of years.

According to the report card, 93 percent of students at the school graduated in 2019, up a percentage point from 2018. The state average in 2019 was 86 percent. The report stated 81 percent of graduates from Calhoun High School enrolled at postsecondary institutions in 2019.

Brussels School District Unlike Calhoun School District, Brussels School District’s results are negligible because of the smaller student body. While Calhoun School District had 483 students this past year, Brussels only had 125 students. This has an enormous impact on test results, therefore, comparisons between this year’s and previous years’ test results will not be included because they are not statistically significant.

“One to two outliers can swing our numbers back and forth,” Superintendent Martin said.

Additionally, Brussels School District does not have an overall designation because of the smaller student body.

“That’s because the state has a group size requirement,” Martin said.

In 2019, 39 percent of students met or exceeded standards on the IAR, which was just above the state average of 38 percent. On the SAT, 29 percent of students met or exceeded standards in both ELA and math.

The school has seen a sig-

nificant increase in instructional spending per pupil.

In 2018, the district spent $6,728 per pupil as compared to $6,081 in 2017. This is over a thousand dollars less than the state’s average instruction spending in 2018 measured at $8,172.

Student attendance remains consistent at 97 percent in 2019 as compared to 96 percent in 2018.

Graduation rates are above the state average of 86 percent, with 94 percent of students graduating from Brussels High School. Of those students, all enrolled in postsecondary school.

Overall, Martin said the results are a mixed bag when it came to understanding how well the school district performs.

“We’re leery of making too many decisions based on these results,” he said.

Martin said he wants to see a greater emphasis on individual test results rather than overall district results.

“We need to have a look at those, and look deeper as educators and look at individual test scores over group test scores,” he said.

Particularly for districts like Brussels, measuring individual growth would provide better insights into the needs of students.

However, this does not negate some of the results of the Illinois Report Card whose measurements focus on group results.

“We still need to work on SAT scores,” Martin said.

Death penalty (Continued from A1) plans to take up until regular session begins in January.

Ed Yohnka, a spokesperson for the Illinois chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union, said the measure does not address any of the death penalty’s “critical fatal flaws” — it is applied disproportionately to people of color, is expensive and could result in the killing of someone later found to be innocent.

He added capital punishment has “always been a flawed system.”

“The supposed link

This is an area the district is currently addressing with the recent hiring of a teacher to help students prepare for the SAT. Brussels is also improving its Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) program, which will have an impact on students’ science proficiency.

between the death penalty and deterrence has never been proven, and to roll in mass shootings in Texas, a state that actually executes more inmates than any other state in the country, the idea somehow that it’s going to bar or deter mass shootings is just fantasy,” Yohnka said.

House Bill 3915 has one co-sponsor — Republican Rep. Andrew Chesney, from Freeport.

Ringhausen said he was unaware of any relatively recent case in which capital punishment was used in the county.

Blind Spots

Rull Brothers Hardin, IL

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

e all have our blind spots—literal or figurative things that we can’t see or realize about ourselves—and we can’t see them, because they are, by definition, hidden from us. Therefore we need people who will tell us our faults and point out the things that we just can’t see or accept. Societies and cultures have blind spots too. Think of how long many Americans, and most of “civilization,” defended slavery as an institution. What our current societal blind spots are is something that only history will bear out, but what our personal blind spots are is something which we can have some control over. Instead of reacting defensively to criticism—as most of us do—we should be quick to accept it, or at least to reflect on it honestly, and try to ferret out the kernel of truth that is usually there in even the harshest criticism. It’s not always wise to be the one delivering the criticism; most people don’t accept it without some hard feelings. Unless we’re perfect, we’re going to be on the receiving end of criticism, and it is sometimes the job of people to deliver it, such as teachers, coaches, and managers. So instead of reacting defensively, thank the person, and consider how you might amend your life.

The trick or treaters were out Thursday night despite the cold temperatures.

The Sons of the American Legion held a meat shoot this past Sunday behind the Pavilion. It was a success and a lot of fun. They will be holding another one this next Sunday the 20 shooting begins at 1.

This is a great way to win a turkey or ham for the holidays. They will also hold one the 17th and 24th, weather permitting. Just bring a 12 or 20 gauge, and ammo will be provided.

St. Norbert’s celebrated All Saints Day on Nov. 1 with a march through Hardin dressed as their favorite saints. They also marched to the Calhoun Nursing and Rehab to visit the residents.

This is a wonderful longstanding tradition.

We have a lot of up-andcoming events for our village in November and December.

Nov. 22, Santa and his reindeer will be at the Landing from 4-6.

Nov. 22 and 23, make sure to come to the Center for American Archeology Gym for the Ninth Annual Calhoun

Art Guild Art and Craft Sale.

Everything is made by local artists.

Dec. 22, Santa will be at the Center for American Archeology Gym for the 27th Annual Kids Christmas Party. Anyone wanting to donate a basket to raffle just send me a message or give me a call. Thank You Billye Titus, Kim Klaas, Tori Kuhlman and Julie Bilbruck for their awesome toy donations.

St. Norbert’s Ladies Night is Friday, Nov. 15, at the KC Hall. Always a fun evening with lots of good vendors and prizes.

If you’re looking for something to do this Saturday night, get your team together and play trivia at Straight Home benefiting the Calhoun Jr. high and high school Scholastic Bowl teams.

Fox Creek Cemetery Board is still selling raffle tickets for the upkeep of the cemetery.

Tickets can be purchased at the Landing in Kampsville, The Feed Mill, and by calling 653-4250. Your support is greatly appreciated.

Queen still hasn’t been found, so don’t forget to stop at the Legion and get your

ticket. Drawing is Friday night at 8 p.m.

Happy Birthday Virginia Becker on the 3rd and Claudette Oberjohann on the 4th.

Sympathy to Gary Jones on the loss of his wife, Jeanie. I will miss her smiling face as she worked in her yard. Jeanie’s yard always looked so beautiful and she took great pride in it.

Duck season is upon us as we can hear the shooting from across the river, and we are seeing familiar faces from the southern states here bow hunting. Hopefully, they will all have a successful hunting season.

I had the pleasure last week seeing Sam Schofner while he was home on leave from the Army. Please keep Sam in your thoughts and prayers as he will now be stationed in Korea for the next year.

The leaves still have some beautiful colors so enjoy the last weeks of them and continue prayers for Sandy Wille, Jan Clore, Jim Hill, Joe Gress, Kathryn Chapman, Eileen Gardner, Cindy Smith, Luanne Baalman and Linda Herkert.

It made for good soup eating weather as well and attending St. Matthew Church Turtle Soup Supper on Saturday. Many thanks to all who attended and also those who got carry-outs.

Mike Jones of St. Peters visited on Saturday afternoon with Charles and Virginia Murphy. That evening he attended the dinner at St. Matthew’s where he joined Leland Jones and daughter Lorraine Jones of Granite City and Melba Hendricks and daughter Barb Hillman of Wood River.

Thanks Leland for your kind remarks about my news column— that makes it all worth while!

Nice seeing and visiting briefly with all of them.

On Saturday morning, Graveside Rites was held for Carol Schleeper, who passed away Oct. 11.

Brussels, Calhoun seniors to receive Good Citizen Award The Dr. Silas Hamilton Chapter of Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) recognizes Brussels High School senior Logan Jacobs and Calhoun High School senior Emma Green will receive the DAR Good Citizens Award.

Logan and Emma are two of seven area students who have been chosen to receive the award.

Other area students are Grace Sharich, Jersey Community High School, Landon Maedge of Bunker Hill High School, Sarah DeNeve of Carlinville High School, Joseph Bertetto of Gillespie High School and Russell Goss of Southwestern High School.

Logan is the daughter of Pam and Craig Friedel and Roy Jacobs. Logan’s school activities include Pep Club for four years, National Honor

Society for 2 years, Civics Club for 4 years, volleyball for 4 years, softball for 4 years and Scholastic Bowl for 2 years. Also, Logan volunteers at church picnics, local blood drives, Vacation Bible School, LifeBridge Partnership in St. Louis and Junior Achievement. She plans on attending Maryville University, majoring in Occupational Therapy.

Emma is the daughter of Kathleen Green. Her school activities include National Honor Society for 2 years, Scholastic Bowl for 4 years, ACES, Olympiad and tutoring. Emma helped in the sandbagging as well as helped work at a blood drive. Emma is applying to Princeton with a hope of studying in Chemistry and Physics.

The award is based on leadership, dependability, service and patriotism. The DAR

Good Citizen Program and Scholarship Contest is intended to encourage and reward the qualities of good citizenship. The program is open to all senior class students enrolled in accredited public or private secondary schools.

The faculty nominates three seniors. The senior class then selects one representative from this nominated group to receive the Good Citizenship Award. The Good Citizen winners will be honored at the annual Student Awards Banquet on March 9, 2020.

The Good Citizen essays have been judged, and the winner who has advanced to the district competition will be announced at the time of the banquet.

Roberta Groppel and Katie Morgan are co-chairman of the chapter’s Good Citizen Committee.

finances,� he said.

There are a series of considerations and circumstances that impact those finances, but Ringhausen stressed the importance of scholarship applications. “No one ever applies because they don’t think they will get it,� he said. “They shouldn’t be dissuaded.�

Ringhausen said that some scholarships receive no applicants at all. “It’s free money,� he said.

While there are a number of national scholarships, there are also many local scholarships only available to students within the county or tricounty area. These present an opportunity for local students in the coming months.

The U.S. Department of Labor provides a free scholarship search tool online at careeronestop.org.

The following is a list of a variety of scholarships available to students in Calhoun: The Teddi and Merle Inman Scholarship: $5,000 is available to students who are looking to attend Southern Illinois University, Edwardsville.

The Thomas H. Boyd Memorial Foundation: $500 scholarships are available to high school seniors planning to pursue a degree or career in

the medical field. The scholarship is limited to students in Calhoun and Greene Counties.

Illinois Sheriffs’ Association Scholarship: $500 is available to students in Calhoun who demonstrate outstanding scholastic, extracurricular and character qualifications. The Calhoun County Sheriff’s Office will announce the opening of this scholarship on their Facebook page.

Thomas H. Moore Illinois Electric Cooperatives Scholarships: 12 scholarships of $2,000 each are available to students with six specifically available to sons or daughters of Illinois Electric Coop members receiving service from the Coop.

American Legion Scholarship: six scholarships are available to students who have a parent or grandparent that has served in the military, who are an eagle scout or who play American Legion baseball.

The Hagan Scholarship Foundation: up to $6,000 per semester is available to students currently attending public high schools in counties with less than 50,000 residents. Applicants must enroll in a four year, not-for-profit college or university.

He said trades, in particular, offer skills and opportunities comparable, or even better, to graduate work. “There has been this mindset for years that if you can’t go to college, you’re a failure,� he said.

Calhoun High School is looking to combat that narrative.

Last year, of 28 seniors, 22 attended LCCC and four went to four-year universities. Ringhausen estimates that roughly 75 percent of this year’s senior class will be attending either community college or a four-year university, but he sees a potential shift in the coming years. “[Change] is coming,� he said. “It’s for sure coming.�

Ringhausen said he implements a broader approach to student’s futures that accounts for their interests as well as increasing tuition costs.

Consumer economics teacher Heidi Doyle has been helping students to address the costs of attending college, Ringhausen said. “They have to manage

PUBLIC NOTICE Notice of Special Meeting

Contractor arrested for home repair fraud

By KRIS SCHEFFEL Calhoun News-Herald A man has been taken into custody after turning himself in to authorities for alleged home repair fraud.

The fraud, as reported by the Calhoun County Sheriff’s Office, was alleged against the contractor back in the Spring of 2019 after he had received payment for a project in rural Kampsville.

The alleged Kampsville victim had found the contractor via Facebook

Marketplace advertised under the name, Southern Boys Flooring and Renovation, LLC. Following a written contract and down payment of over $1,000, the contractor ended communications with the victim without completing the project or returning the funds, police say.

At the time, there was little information regarding the identity of the suspect except a first name and photos posted to the company’s Facebook page.

The Calhoun County Sheriff’s Office identified the suspect as Brandon

Two arrested on meth charges

By KRIS SCHEFFEL Calhoun News-Herald The Calhoun County Sheriff’s Department made two arrests on Oct. 25 for charges including possession of methamphetamines with intent to deliver.

At approximately 9:05 p.m., according to the Sheriff’s Office officials, Deputy Nate Alderfer conducted a traffic stop on a vehicle for having no affixed license plates.

The driver was identified as Kayla Skinner, 37, of Jerseyville.

Upon further investigation, Alderfer arrested Skinner for driving on a suspended license, driving under the influence of drugs and possession of more than 5 grams

of methamphetamines, according to police officials.

Passenger Jordan Hartley, 20, of Jerseyville was also arrested for possession of methamphetamines, police say.

Skinner has been charged with meth delivery of 5-15 grams of meth.

Skinner’s and Hartley’s cell phones were seized as evidence, and a search warrant was obtained on Oct. 29 to search the phones.

This investigation is still ongoing.

Skinner and Hartley made an appearance in court on Oct. 29. Hartley has posted cash bail, while Skinner remains in custody at the time of publication.

ADVERTISE WITH US!

Howell, 33 of Meredosia, the founder of the LLC based in Louisiana. After the identification of the subject, an arrest warrant was issued.

A number of tips came in that Howell had left Illinois and headed back to Louisiana, police say.

Howell voluntarily returned to Illinois and surrendered himself to the Morgan County Sheriff’s Office.

Howell remains in custody on a $10,000 cash bond following an appearance in the Calhoun County court as of Nov. 1.

OUR TOWN

Wednesday, November 6, 2019

25 Years Ago November 9, 1994 Hardin Mayor Bill Horman warned that abandoned houses in disrepair will need to be taken down, even if the people do not take the buyouts.

At the Monday, Nov. 7, meeting of the Hardin Village Board of Trustees, Horman wondered if there needed to be an ordinance so these houses would have to come down in a certain length of time. Otherwise, the owners would be holding onto houses which would be setting all over town with weeds growing up.

Village Attorney Ralph Moses said that there is a state law in the Municipal Code section about this issue. Lawsuits can be filed in the Circuit Court.

Horman said if lawsuits are going to be filed, a couple of other derelict houses not in the flood may be added to the list.

Some owners received a substantial amount in flood insurance, making them feel it is not worth it to accept the appraisal figure, which has to have the insurance amount deducted first before the buyout price can be given.

The people cannot be forced to take the buyout because it is a voluntary program.

IEMA and FEMA can urge them to take advantage of it, but the people may want to elevate instead, causing this checkerboard pattern.

50 Years Ago November 6, 1969 The Calhoun Warriors moved into second place in the Illinois Valley Conference after their win Friday night at Winchester in a very well played game. The final score was 14-6.

Grabbing most of their yardage on the ground for 164 yards, the Warriors connected for only two passes, but one of them was the big pay-off, when Barry hit Jim Johnson

Calhoun News-Herald

with a 25 yard pass in the end zone for what turned out to be the winning TD in the second quarter.

The Warriors scored early in the game.

Receiving the kick-off they marched relentlessly down the field to the three yard line where Mike Barry went over on a quarterback sneak. Becker ran the ball over for two points, making the score 8-0.

Calhoun added another TD in the second on the Barry-Johnson combination, but they failed to convert, and the half ended with Calhoun leading 14-0.

Calhoun went for a first down on fourth in the third period and failed to make it by inches after the officials had signaled a first down and the chains were moved and then called for a measurement only to find the Warriors had not made it. This seemed to demoralize the Warriors and on the next play Winchester’s Strahorn ran 23 yards for their only score of the game. They failed to convert.

Calhoun had 11 first downs to Winchester’s nine and gained 181 yards to their opponent’s 190. Winchester had two passes intercepted and Calhoun none, and neither lost a fumble.

Calhoun was penalized three times for 15 yards and Winchester three times for 22.

Southwestern leads the IVC with a 4-0 record and plays Winchester Friday night.

Calhoun is in second place with a 3-2 while Winchester is 2-2 in conference play. Even a win by them over SW Friday would give them only a tie for second place with Calhoun. The Warriors last game of the season is here Nov. 11 against Pleasant Hill in the afternoon.

Hardin, Illinois

Monday to show us some apple blossoms he had picked that morning from a tree in the Al Bracksieck orchard west of Hardin.

The blossom was full grown and looked as hardy as any we have seen in the spring.

Several other buds on the twig were beginning to form, and colder weather this week was probably the reason for the whole tree not breaking into bloom.

B5

Warm weather of the past two weeks has caused the apple trees to begin to bud and put on a spring-like growth. It is possible that the buds might be injured to some extent for next year’s crop by freezing weather after the buds had become so far advanced.

With such warm weather, we were beginning to think California had nothing on us.

Then came the change.
