WEEKEND WEATHER

On Sunday, several properties in Calhoun were open to the public for the Calhoun Home Tours— each representing the multitude of ways one could go about decorating for Christmas.

Among the list of locations open to locals this year were schools and businesses in the county along with an assortment of homes.

Notably, this year was a first with the event hosted by both St. Mary’s and St. Norbert’s Catholic Schools.

At the schools, decorations, mostly crafted by the students in the schools, lined the doors, adorned the walls and light fixtures, and sat atop the desks of the students.

With the start of the advent

season, advent wreaths were strung up marking the occasion. Also too though, crafts the students made embodied the Christmas spirit, whether it was the construction paper ornaments or the Santa Claus and fireplace artwork on the walls.

“A lot of it is work they would be doing anyway. It is now just giving people the opportunity to come and see what we are doing,” Racheal Friedel, sixth to eighthgrade teacher at St. Norbert’s School, said.

Friedel said the students were very excited about others taking a look at their work.

“The kids have worked really hard, and they are excited about the fact that people are coming to see it,” she said. “…To have people come in and see what they have been doing, the kids are all excited about it.”

By KRIS SCHEFFEL Calhoun News-Herald As students begin to submit their college applications, there is a noticeable trend amongst Calhoun high schoolers, more of which intend to pursue careers in technology. Potentially behind this increasing interest is the unique science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) curriculum local schools have introduced in the past several years.

“Even since last year, the students’ career interests are more focused on tech jobs,” Dylan Ringhausen, Calhoun High School guidance counselor, said.

Calhoun School District Superintendent Kate Sievers said that the district introduced a STEM initiative three or four years ago. At the high school, a class was

introduced as part of this initiative, and Ringhausen said it has helped to foster that interest in STEM he is currently seeing.

“Three to four years ago, we introduced a STEM class,” he said. “It’s probably our most popular class.”

The class is taught by Ann Gilman, and is what she considers a sort of pre-engineering subject for juniors and seniors.

“It’s one of the few classes when my students will actually say ‘I’m excited to be in your class,’ or, ‘I look forward to being in this class every day,’” Gilman said. “You don’t hear that very often from high school students.”

However, this is more than just another science class.

Deer harvest low after first firearm season weekend

By KRIS SCHEFFEL Calhoun News-Herald The first weekend of the firearm season concluded on Nov. 24, and based on current numbers it appears the harvest is not what it was despite the growing deer population. The Illinois Department of Natural Resources (IDNR) has released the total number of deer taken for each county with a state total of 50,173, down from 58,836 deer reported last year.

In Calhoun County, the downward trend is reiterated with hunters harvesting a total of 494 deer this year in comparison to 618 last year.

Calhoun is not alone either.

Across the region, total harvests are down for the first firearm season. In Jersey, 401 deer were harvested this year as compared to 474 in 2018. In Greene, the total was 632 compared to 700 last year. Pike reported nearly 200 less than last year’s total of 1,361 with only 1,174 harvested this year.

Rachel Torbert, spokeswoman for IDNR, said the decline in area totals for the first firearm season is most likely the result of a later season. The first firearm season is held the week before Thanksgiving, and this year, Thanksgiving fell later in the month on Nov. 28.

“We missed the peak of rut,” Torbert said.

During rut, or mating season, deer will become more active and less cautious. This makes the deer easier targets for hunters.

However, not all hunters missed the rutting season. For bow hunters, the later firearm season has been of benefit.

“We’ve seen archery numbers up a little bit,” Torbert said.

“Those guys had an extra week before firearm season.”

The archery totals have been rising the past few years, with some hunters pointing to new regulations, enacted during the 2017- 2018 season, permitting to the use of crossbows.

IDNR, she said, is still waiting for the conclusion of the deer season next year to gather a better understanding of the harvest totals. While the late firearm season appears largely to blame for the decline in this year’s totals, there could be other factors.

“Once those numbers are in, we can get a better idea whether there were other factors contributing,” Torbert said.

The longer trends in harvest totals point to a growing deer population, one which has been recovering from the 2012 epizootic hemorrhagic disease (EHD).

It is a viral disease carried by midge flies that causes hemorrhaging in deer.

“There was a substantial EHD die off in 2012,” Tim Krumwiede, IDNR wildlife biologist, has said. “Populations did go down in West Central Illinois.”

Krumwiede said that this year’s population has still not completely recovered to its recorded numbers 15 years ago, but there are strong indicators that progress is being made.

The firearm season will conclude this weekend beginning on Dec. 5 and ending on Dec. 8. The muzzleloader season will take place from Dec. 13 to Dec. 15, and archery season will continue until Jan. 19, 2020 with breaks during the firearm season.

Christmas in Calhoun has Elf School for second year

By KRIS SCHEFFEL Calhoun News-Herald Elf School is returning to Christmas in Calhoun this year with dozens already signing up.

This is its second year, and organizer Jen Fanning said they are anticipating to once again sell out of tickets.

The Elf School is an event organized and run by the Hardin Girl Scouts where kids will learn the ins and outs of being an elf.

“The kids are gonna teach them to be the perfect elf,” Fanning said.

The Elf School gives a unique experience to each student, beginning from the moment they arrive.

“When they arrive and signin, they will receive a personalized lanyard with their personalized elf name,” she said.

“From that moment on... they’ll only refer to them by their elf name.”

Names like Gumdrop Special Berry are created specially by the Girl Scouts themselves, who also act as the elf instructors.

At the school, prospective elves will be taught a special elf song and learn how to make a festive craft. Upon completion, they will receive a personalized diploma from Santa and get to have their photo taken with Papa the Elf, from the movie, “Elf.” “He’ll be there in his cute little elf costume,” Fanning said.

As they leave, they will be well-equipped for the holiday season with their elf hat and a magic hot chocolate.

Fanning said it is one of the (See, ELF SCHOOL, A2)

Hardin mulls over TIF district Consideration follows interest in prospect

By KRIS SCHEFFEL Calhoun News-Herald The Hardin Village Board heard from lawyers, businessmen and others about the potential pros and cons of implementing a tax increment financing (TIF) district at a recent meeting.

Those speaking agreed, from experience, that the benefits of a TIF outweighed any perceived negatives.

Law partners Bill Strang and Todd Parish of Strang, Parish and Graham law firm gave an in-depth explanation of how a TIF operates, the reason to implement a TIF and the process by which, if the board made that determination, a TIF is created.

“The idea about a TIF, tax increment financing, is (that it is) one of the last, if not the last, tool out there to do economic development for small towns or even large towns,” Strang said.

Hardin would not be the first to implement a TIF in the region. Jersey alone has multiple TIF districts in Jerseyville and a TIF in Grafton just concluded. These dis-

tricts typically last 23 years.

Also, other nearby communities are considering the proposition including Carrollton, which has drawn controversy in the community because of the potential funds other taxing bodies would miss out on.

“Probably all of you are familiar with Grafton,” Strang said. “It is like... the example of how a TIF works better than almost any because when that town was flooded in ‘93, the assessed value in that town was three million dollars... of the buildings that were still available.

“And they weren’t going to have sewer and water because they had plants (that) were damaged. So, they created the TIF.” A TIF district is a contiguous area within a village, town or city that is considered ‘blighted.’ Blighted, as a legal term, Strang said, means vacant or deteriorated buildings.

“When they started the idea of the TIF act, it was defined as blighted, and so most people were thinking about inner cities and things like that,” he said. “...That could be anywhere.

OPINION

Hardin, Illinois

Beavers sometimes wear out their welcome STEM r e n n u R e Ridg

By BILL HOAGLAND Anyone who has had a colony of beavers on their property can probably attest to what I have to say about beavers.

Sure, beavers have a number of admirable attributes, starting with an amazing work ethic that we sometimes wish our millennials had as they become zombies looking at their cell phones and iPads. And much of the beavers’ work is done at night, which makes it all that much more remarkable.

Occasionally, this work entails some clever “heavy lifting,” felling huge trees for example and somehow moving them a considerable distance to assist in their “projects.”

Beavers have figured out that by getting the heavy stuff to the closest water line, they can simply float these logs to the project site. They also are regarded by environmentalists as being very beneficial to our eco-system; some refer to the beaver as an “eco-savoir”.

There is even an annual international “Beaver Day” (April 7) to honor the environmental benefits of the beaver.

The American beaver is the largest rodent in North America, sometimes weighing 60 pounds with a length of four feet from tip to tail.

They are semi-aquatic, meaning they are anatomically suited to spending much of their lives in water.

They have webbed hind feet and a broad, flat tail that helps them swim and balance themselves. When underwater, their noses close and a special membrane covers their eyes so as to prevent water from direct contact with the eyes.

Beavers normally live in

“lodges”, which are strategically placed in deep water so that most predators cannot get to them. The lodge has an entrance under water but the “living quarters” inside are above the water level.

Beavers are monogamous, and both parents participate in raising their offspring, which usually stay with the family until they are about two years of age. The male beaver is intolerant of intruders, especially other adult male beavers, and to mark their “territory”, the male will build “scent mounds” surrounding the lodge. When challenged, they can be quite aggressive.

They usually have one litter of “kits” per year. Once they are born, it does not take the kits long to adjust to their lifestyle. The kits are born with their eyes open and within 24 hours, they are able to swim. They generally venture outside the lodge within a few days after being born.

The normal life span of a beaver is about 20 years.

Prior to the advent of European settlers in North America, the beaver population was estimated to be in excess of 80 million, but because of the fur trade and the gradual spread of civilization across North America, they nearly became extinct by 1900.

Since then, they have been making a modest comeback.

Today, they can be found in most states, and they are definitely here in Calhoun, Jersey and Madison counties.

Beavers eat only plants, not fish or other animals.

They primarily live on bark, leaves and twigs. They have specialized stomachs to deal with that rather challenging diet.

The problem with beavers is that they don’t know when

C H R O N IC L E S

to quit. For a number of years, I have owned a rural piece of property in Madison County, with a beautiful stream running through the middle of it. To stop soil erosion, we planted extra trees along the banks.

Then, the beavers showed up.

At first, I was pleased to see a beaver dam in the steam and eventually a lodge in the middle of the pond that was created by the dam.

The dam and lodge gave the place a sense of being in the “backcountry.”

But then, the beavers continued cutting down all the trees along the banks, including the trees we had planted. Now, we had a field of “punji sticks”; in other words, we had a bunch of tree stumps with a sharpened edge on each stump—great for impalement but not much else.

In the past few years, beavers have also worn out their welcome in various metropolitan areas, including Chicago and San Francisco, where, after being reintroduced to the environment in local parks, they began cutting down all the trees that had been carefully planted over the years.

This led to a controversy even between the environmentalists, with some feeling the beaver could do no wrong and others advocating trapping and removal. Some beaver enthusiasts even chained themselves to trees

in protest of the plan to trap and remove the beavers.

This controversy eventually led to the formation of various groups whose objective it is to facilitate the peaceful co-existence of beaver and human—sort of a “can’t we all just get along?” theme.

As a last resort, these groups try to assist in moving “problem beavers” to another location, but this is an issue that isn’t going away easily. If you want to know more about these groups, look at www.beaversww.org and www.defenders.org/beavers.

Note, the beavers left my farm on their own accord, somewhat unannounced and rather suddenly. We did not trap them or kill them. I think the problem for them was that the water levels were so variable in that stream that no dam could stay in place for very long.

Frankly, they had worn out their welcome anyway as far as I was concerned.

Outdoor Truths: Gary Miller

Remember one person is not busier than another There’s one four-letter word I think everyone uses.

Well, there’s at least one four letter word everyone uses.

And we probably use it every day. It’s the word busy. Ask any person who has a job and somewhere in the middle of a normal conversation, he or she will mention how busy they are.

Even those who have retired will tell you they are busier now than when they were working a regular job.

With all of this busyness, it seems to get harder and harder for me to find the time to get in a tree stand for even a few hours.

In fact, I mentioned to one young man how it seems for me to really get into hunting; I have to leave for a few days, otherwise, my mind is roaming to all of the things I need to be, or should be, or ought to be, or, you get the idea.

It seems with all of my

daily responsibilities, to leave for only a half day, puts me too far behind to catch up by the end of the week (Whenever that is.) There is no doubt time neither stops nor slows down for anyone, no matter what excuse we have.

Right now, is a perfect example. In my area, the secondary rut is about to take place. This might be my favorite part of the hunting season. But by now, I have become so busy (there’s that word) I may have to miss crucial days being in the woods.

Now before you put down this article, let me quickly tell you what I hate about the busyness excuse.

It’s the same thing you hate and the reason you were close to burning this week’s edition of Outdoor Truths. We hate people who think they are so busy they should get a pass for not doing certain things.

Or another way to put it, we

Home tours

(Continued from A1) Among the lot of new homes on display this year was Megan Hillen’s.

Hillen, who had taken part in Home Tours before but had not had hers on display, opened up her home this weekend.

“I like the concept of being able to see how people decorate their homes in different ways,” Hillen said.

Hillen loves decorating for Christmas.

“It just kind of brings extra warmth to your home,” she said.

But, she is not one to entirely fill a space with Santas and garlands.

Hillen’s bright white interior served as a contrast to the mostly red and green decorations placed among the home.

With her own home, she went for a Farmhouse Christmas look. The decorations of the home were subdued. Outside of a couple of striking decorations, like that of the chair next to the Christmas tree and the stockings hanging in the two corners of the dining room, there were not many in the home — something done intentionally.

“I think less is more sometimes,” Hillen said. “I just don’t like clutter in general.”

Among her favorite decorations were her vintage holiday cards. These

hate people who think they are busier than everyone else.

We hate it because we know the truth, and it’s this: We all have 24 hours in each day. No more. No less. We all have families to care for, jobs to work at, and bills to pay.

I mean, you do know this, don’t you? Or are you the one who leans to heavily on the “busy” excuse? Please don’t be that person.

Please don’t use that excuse for not accomplishing some of the things you’ve dreamed about or doing some of things you know you should do.

And please don’t use it for a reason to neglect your spiritual life. Let me tell you why.

The people who accomplish more than we do are not afforded more time during each week. And neither are they afforded fewer responsibilities. They simply manage time instead of letting time manage them.

Christmas postcards dated back to the 1920s.

The Historic Wittmond Hotel in Brussels also took part in the Home Tours, still retaining its historic charm throughout. Charles Burch, the owner of the hotel, said he was glad to open up the hotel for the event. Notably, the upstairs floor of the hotel was open — a feature of the building often only open for special occasions.

Burch said it is always a treat to see people admiring the upstairs.

“Everybody seems to be enjoying it, and I am happy they are here,” Burch said. “…It is a good opportunity for the local people to get to see it. A lot of people have grown up here in Calhoun County and have lived here, driven by here 1000 times and have no idea what is in here.”

What was in there were subtle Christmas accents seemingly appropriate to the hotel’s history. The decorators this season, Elaine Mans and Johna Tepen of the Wittmond Hotel, chose to not take away from the historic building.

“We did not want to take away from the beauty (of the building),” Mans said.

“There is just a little something in every room. The upstairs is beautiful itself.”

Whether it was a vintage Christmas tree or Santa, everything seemed to harken back to a different age of Christmas decorating — an effort Mans and Tepen strived toward.

“The hotel was established in 1847, so we wanted it to kind of fit,” Mans said.

They started work on the decorations right after Halloween. It was worth it though, Mans said.

“It was fun decorating. We enjoy it— both of us,” she said.

Among their favorites was the shiny silver tinsel tree with a color wheel from the ’60s featured on the lower floor.

At these business stops, signature drinks were served. At the hotel, it was the Holiday Hotties.

There were 14 locations on the home tour: Carole Hiatt’s home, St. Mary’s School, the Wittmond Hotel, Rachel Hartman’s property, Cindy Jenkin’s place, Melanie Tepen’s home, KC Hall, Megan Hillen’s home, Straight Home, Hamburg Church, Jean Benoist’s place, Amber Ewen’s home, Cindy Rusher’s property and the St. Norbert’s and Montessori School.

(Continued from A1) “What I like most about the class is it provides them with a lot of workplace skills,” Gilman said. “So, every project is a group project... so, they have to be able to communicate with each other. They have to present their presentation skills, speaking skills, eye contact — all your skills you need to communicate.”

The students recently wrapped up their rocket project, wherein students were tasked with not only building a rocket to the design specifications but also tasked with ensuring the safety of the rocket’s passenger: an egg.

“We had three rockets and one success,” Gilman said.

Now completed, the students will be tackling a bridge project next. However, neither of these are what Gilman considers to be the most popular project.

“Probably the most popular project that we do is the Boeing glider,” she said. “We build gliders and compete in a Boeing competition.”

The competition takes place in May, but they must qualify first through a series of three presentations given to Boeing engineers. These presentations count towards the student’s final scores.

“And we have won several times,” Sievers said.

The emphasis on soft skills as well as hard skills is what helps these students to be successful, not just in competitions like this, but in their future careers. Students at lower grade levels are also following suit, Sievers said.

Through grants, the district

has implemented a science, technology, engineering, arts and math curriculum called Project Lead the Way for students in Kindergarten through fifth grade.

“We have to provide that foundation to be able to work with them in sixth, seventh and eighth,” Sievers said.

Like in Gilman’s class, these students are approaching STEAM through real-world examples and collaboration.

“We want to take those skills and apply them to projects,” Sievers said. “One of the other things we are seeing is a team approach.”

By providing a strong foundation, Sievers said it leads to many ‘a-ha’ moments for students as they progress.

As these students continue to grow, they will look forward to attending Gilman’s high school class where she said they will have a unique opportunity to work with a former NASA engineer.

“We also are at an advantage, because we have a community member, Dr. Larry Birch, who was a NASA thermal engineer,” she said. “... He comes in two days a week, and he’s our expert. He’s really the genius behind the engineering principles.

“So, the kids get that unique experience too, because they are actually working with a legit engineer who has worked in the field and has that experience.”

With an increasing need for engineerings, programmers and scientists, Calhoun’s students are graduating with the skills and ability to help fill that need.

Elf School (Continued from A1) highlights of the year for the girl scouts.

“Our girls really look forward to it too,” she said.

“They have been talking about it non-stop.”

And it seems that the girl scouts are not alone in that excitement.

Last year, the first year for the event, they had 120 kids taking part.

The Elf School will be held on Dec. 14 at the old Calhoun News-Herald office at 310 South County Road in Hardin. Tickets for the event are $10 per person.

The classes are every 30 minutes beginning at 1:30 p.m., following the parade for Christmas in Calhoun that will start at 1 p.m. They will run classes until 4 p.m.

Those interested are asked to call 618-576-2828 to register. People must registered to participate.

The rest of the festivities for Christmas in Calhoun including caroling, cookie decorating, food, games and letter writing to Santa will start after the parade as well at the Marvin Richter courthouse lawn in Hardin.

Also at the Christmas in Calhoun, there will be a Christmas tree lighting at dusk, where the other Christmas festivities will be.

Notably, pictures with Santa will be from 2 p.m. to 3 p.m.

Food vendors include: Hahn BBQ; Lady Warriors Basketball with chili, soup, hotdogs and hot cocoa; Warrior Pride with chicken and dumplings; Sandi Moreau with kettle corn and pork skins; Tristan Johnson with donuts; St. Norbert’s School with a baked goods; Gracie J’s Snacks and More with seasoned party mix; and Faithful Tools Ministry with pulled pork nachos.

TIF

(Continued from A1) “It’s a name that nobody wants to have their building called, but at the same time, that’s what it is because of the definition in the TIF act.”

The village will determine a starting point from which a consulting law firm conducts a feasibility study and draws a final district map. Residents will be informed if they would be included in a potential TIF district, and could then optout.

Having a comprehensive community plan and hiring a consulting firm to do a feasibility study would be the first steps in setting up a TIF district. Hardin had considered a TIF two to three years ago, Strang said, but did not have a comprehensive community plan in place.

“Just to give you an idea,” Strang said. “... The consultants range from around, for the TIF, somewhere around 30 and 40 thousand dollars to create the plan, come to the various meetings, public hearings... the comprehensive plan is a little less expensive.

It depends on how detailed it is. The size of the community, I think would have some effect on that.”

Once a comprehensive plan has been agreed on and it was determined that a TIF is feasible, the base tax rate on properties within the TIF would be frozen at the determined base value of that property.

“Any increase in the value of that property then becomes the increment above the base value,” Strang said. “The base value still goes to all the taxing bodies that were already getting that tax money based on their levies.”

That increment would then go into a special allocation fund managed by the village.

This fund can only go towards specific projects, which will be approved by the board. Alan Gilmore, CEO of the Jersey

Medicare Annual Enrollment Season Wrap Up: Yes, the finish line is in sight, finally!

Regardless of what you decided to do about your Medicare coverage, please remember that there are a few things to watch out for as we look ahead to the new year. If you decided to stay with your current prescription drug plan or Medicare Advantage plan, it is still important to track your expenses and any changes in coverage by reading any notices or letters that your plan sends you.

While it’s much more fun to throw them in a box on top of the refrigerator and grab another Christmas cookie, it pays to stay on top of your coverage. If you decided to change plans, remember that the various insurance companies who handle Medicare policies may still be processing your enrollment.

Some plans like to send out premium booklets to existing customers ahead of the Dec. 7 annual enrollment deadline, so it can

County Business Association, said none of the village board members can have any property within the TIF district.

“What happens is they (the property owner) come in, and they apply to get reimbursed maybe half of the taxes of that increment,” Strang said.

“What they’re applying for is to fix their building up.

“They’re gonna take their building, which has been declining in value for years, they are gonna do whatever it takes, remodel, repair.... whatever. But if they can add on to their building, then that increment is what is shared, and it’s shared back with them to help pay them back for the money that they’ve spent on their building.”

These projects are limited primarily to infrastructure improvements such as facades, parking, sewer and water. Also, these projects are determined by the state statute, said Strang.

The main aim of TIF is to encourage economic growth in economically declining areas. Every place has a unique comprehensive plan to address issues specific to that area.

For Hardin, part of the concern is a declining population.

“The school district is in decline,” J.D. Lorton, village board member, said. “We got to do something that will get people to be here and stay here.”

Because of the tailored nature of the comprehensive plan, Strang said Hardin could emphasize housing in addition to businesses.

“Well, actually, if housing is your need, there are ways that you can use TIF funds for housing if you build that into your plan,” Strang said. “You can have residential TIFs.” One of the main points emphasized by Parish and Strang was the need for communication between the board

By Mary Crawford be confusing if you’ve switched plans. You should receive notice from your current provider that confirms that you’ll be leaving their coverage for next year; you should also receive materials from your new provider that confirms your enrollment along with a new card, plan information booklets, and the premium notice.

If you choose to get your premium deducted from your Social Security benefit, SSA usually sends a confirmation letter as well.

Finally, if we created a myMedicare.gov account for you, remember that you will get a letter from the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) confirming that this was done. As always, be on the lookout for advertisements (TV, mail, phone calls) that make big promises.

They don’t have a clue about what you need. Also be on your guard if someone calls and says that your Medicare coverage will be “cancelled” if you “don’t listen to this important message”. The only time Medicare cancels your coverage is if you ask them to, or you don’t pay your prescription drug plan or Medicare Advantage premium (or Medicare Part B premium if it isn’t being deducted from your Social Security benefit check).

Advanced notice is always given, and there is a two-month grace period to make up the missed payment(s).

and the community, particularly the schools, which are often the largest concern because they rely on property tax. It was said that the impact of TIF would see a change in the school aid formula to the benefit of the schools.

“In the long run, it won’t hurt the school,” Strang said.

Because of the concerns regarding a declining population, utilizing a TIF could bring more students to the area and result in more state funds for the schools. Should it be accepted, the TIF would be in place for 23 years with a chance for an extension.

“I think we need to do something to get more kids, more families,” Mayor Dave Hurley said.

Hurley specifically asked Strang and Parish what the downsides of a TIF district would be.

“You know, I’ve been asked that question numerous times,” Strang said. “My thought is because what you’re trying to do is take a declining value village or community and reverse that, the only downside is that it takes longer than people want it to.”

Parish agreed with Strang’s sentiment.

“20-plus years ago... I was the guy sitting at the table when Grafton was doing theirs’, and I was like, ‘That’s stupid. There’s nothing good that’s coming from the State of Illinois,’” he said.

After attending the annual municipal meeting in Springfield and asking aldermen and women and mayors about their TIFs, Parish said his opinion shifted.

“I have not run into one village or city that has done a TIF that has said it was a bad idea,” he said. “And I’m watching Grafton, and I watched $3 million in assessed value turn into $18 million in assessed value.”

Parish said that the largest misconception about a TIF district is the perception that economic growth would happen without TIF and that property taxes would increase with that growth.

TIFs are a response to declining economies throughout the state, both Parish and Strang said. It gives local municipalities the ability to direct their economic development by encouraging growth through tax incentives.

and the state came up with a decent idea to let you locally manage the increase in taxes on buildings in these TIFs,” Parish said. “You have control over that $6,000 difference, and you get to decide what happens to it... and that’s one of the beauties of this.”

Additionally, Parish said, as development begins to take shape, it encourages further interest in that TIF district.

“People see what’s going on in the TIF, and if they can’t get property in the TIF, they are developing outside

the TIF,” he said.

Properties outside a TIF district are taxed at their assessed value. The taxes are not frozen at the initial assessed value for the duration of the TIF like properties inside the district.

“So a rising tide raises all boats in the area,” Parish said.

The largest take away from the conversation, however, was the need for further inquiry and communication with the public.

“Don’t just take our example,” Parish said.

“Therefore keep watch, because you do not know on what day your Lord will come.”

Matthew 24:42 NIV

he season of Advent is upon us.

Advent is a season of hopeful watching and eager expectation, when Christians await the coming of their savior, Jesus Christ. Granted, most children are probably more excited about the coming of Santa Claus. And this is also the season when many of us go out shopping, spend too much money and go into such deep debt that it takes us most of the next year to pay it off. Perhaps we should return to the original and most profound meaning of Advent, which is preparing for the coming of God as man, who came to show us how to live more decently with our fellow humans. The mantra of advent is “Come, Lord Jesus.” Invite Jesus into your hearts and your homes this year as you prepare for Christmas. You can do this by taking some quiet time to pray and reflect on God’s love for us in sending his son. Even if you plan to go out amid the hustle and bustle, or to shop until you drop, this quiet time of prayer and reflection will help you stay balanced and grounded.

Calhoun School Board takes action on high school water

By KRIS SCHEFFEL Calhoun News-Herald On Monday, Nov. 18, Calhoun School District held its school board meeting wherein Superintendent Kate Sievers delivered an administrative report on updates to the school facilities.

Of primary concern are Calhoun High Schools’ (CHS) water facilities. The Illinois Department of Public Health requires public facilities to test water for lead levels and requires that any facilities which test positive for lead in amounts at or above five parts per billion undertake actions to mitigate exposure.

The high school was recently tested, and several areas did test positive for lead higher than that five parts per billion.

“There were seven areas that came back with traces of lead higher than five ppb (parts per billion),” Sievers said. “Therefore, I am in the process of working with Loellke Plumbing and Mike Bick to mitigate these areas of concern.”

Part of that mitigation effort has been to remove from operation the faucets where those traces of lead were found.

“We think by replacing some of the faucets and putting filters on those faucets, we are going to be able to mitigate those issues right away and at low cost,” Sievers said.

Sievers will be meeting with the state inspector to further address the issue and will be sending a letter to inform parents further as to how the district is undertaking its mitigation efforts.

Once these steps are completed, the water will be retested to ensure there are no further concerns before putting

those faucets back into use.

It is important to note that none of the water foundations were found to be positive for lead.

“All water foundations came back negative for traces of lead,” Sievers said. “We put filters on those two years ago.”

Sievers went on to discuss potential upgrades to the school facilities specifically regarding the football bleachers and electric sources.

“The bleachers we have here are very old,” Sievers said.

In order to replace these bleachers, the board is looking into possible replacements. Donovan Reinhardt, a company from Indiana, has a used set of large bleachers, in very good condition, for sale for about $30,000. The school will be paying a portion of the cost with the rest of the funds to be fundraised.

“We have a group of folks here that are on a mission to get those replaced,” Sievers said.

Board member Laura Longnecker is in the process of coordinating fundraising efforts to help make the bleachers a reality. Currently, a brick walkway is being put together with brick engravings being sold to help these fundraising efforts.

The schools are also looking into potential plans to install solar energy panels as a means of reducing electric costs.

“We have to figure out the cost analysis,” Sievers said. “Carlinville S/D is analyzing electric and energy bills to see how long it would take to get a return on our investments.”

If the projections are determined to be reasonable and cost effective, the board will move forward with discussions.

A similar proposal was made two years ago, in which the board received

proposals from two companies, Future Green and Solential Energy. The board decided to work with Future Green, however, the company was unable to address the districts’ needs due to a high level of clients. Thus, the board is now working with Solential Energy to determine the feasibility of installing solar panels.

Also at the meeting: Q Calhoun Elementary School (CES) Principal Christie Lorsbach presented a school improvement plan with three main goals, two of which focus on math and reading. The plan is based on student data, from state and local assessments, that was analyzed by the staff as a means of improving student growth.

Q CES parent, teacher conferences were successful with a majority of teachers receiving 100 percent parent contact. Those that did not meet that percentage have been following up with phone conferences or rescheduling in person meetings.

Q CES will be sending at least one teacher to attend training on the Capturing Kids’ Hearts program during the early part of December.

Q CHS inducted Andrei Carmody, Lucy Kallal, Corey Nelson, Elly Pohlman, Victoria Roate, Ethan Scholbernd, Colleen Schumann and Maggie Toppmeyer into the National Honor Society.

Q The school board has prepared a tax levy for the 2020 Financial Year.

The levy will be increased 4.99 percent from last year’s tax levy. The overall tax rate will decrease approximately half a percent, based on numbers shared by the county, because of a decrease in the amount of bonds that will be paid this year compared to last. A meeting will be held by the district on Dec. 16 to further discuss the levy.

The bar of the Wittmond Hotel is covered in vintage Christmas trinkets and decorations during the annual home tours. They decorate each year, but being a part of the home tours is a first for the hotel and its staff.

Small elves relax atop the chairs of one of the classroom’s in St. Norbert’s School. The school was one of the locations of the home tours Sunday.

Jarad Jarmon/Calhoun News-Herald

A door opens to a very Christmas-y scene in a classroom at the St. Mary’s School.

Megan Hillen uses the TV to her advantage with video of a fire place. Although only a video, it further added to the warmth of her Christmas decorations and scenes especially on a chilly day such as Sunday.

Jarad Jarmon/Calhoun News-Herald

Calhoun News-Herald

Hardin, Illinois

What’s Happening

25 Years Ago December 7, 1994 The Calhoun Ambulance Service has plans to build a new meeting room in half of the ambulance shed in Hardin.

Karl Eickmeyer discussed this with the Calhoun Board of Commissioners at their meeting on Thursday, Dec. 1.

The floor needs to be raised with insulation placed between the concrete slab and the false floor.

“Most of the teaching is done on the floor. This will get away from the cold concrete floor,” Eickmeyer said.

The ambulance units have had a couple of fundraisers to be used toward this work. However, they are still short of money for an air-conditioner, furnace, and furniture.

They hope to be able to do some of the work themselves.

The Ambulance Service will obtain an estimate. If the work is over $10,000, bids must be let.

The old ambulance trailer had been removed earlier in the fall. Due to poor condition of the trailer, their meetings have recently been held in the Farm Bureau Building.

50 Years Ago December 4, 1969 How would you like to see a new electric score board at Calhoun High’s football field next season?

You will, and you may help with a contribution to the High School Pep Club which is sponsoring a drive to raise $2000 to purchase one.

Calhoun High has one of the nicest football fields in the midwest, but it has no

score board. The goal of the Pep Club, under the leadership of Christ Denis, is going to buy a new electric football score board, complete with facilities to keep the crowd abreast of everything as it happens, playing time, yards to go, downs, the score and other pertinent information.

The Pep Club believes that if everyone will donate something, the goal can be reached. They have sent letters to their friends asking for donations and the response has been good, but more is needed, so they ask that the tax deductible checks be sent in right away to the school.

The football team brought glory to the school this season with second place in the IVC, winning the Oaken Bucket from Pleasant Hill and with four Warriors placed on the All-Conference Team.

They will have a good team next year, so while you enjoy watching them play a fine class of football, also enjoy a new score board with your help.

Donors so far are: Benett Barbers, Mrs. Bonita Franke, Hurley Dodge, Smith Garage, Harmon Insurance, Calhoun County Sales (Bargain Barn), Chris Denis, Lorton Electric, Hubert Shaw, Haug Mercantile Co. and Herren Drug Store.

The total collected to date is $208. The goal is $2000, so send in your contributions soon.

75 Years Ago December 7, 1944 A crop of 109.88 bushels per acre won the corn growing championship of Calhoun county in the 1944 National DeKalb Hybrid

Corn Growing Contest, it was learned this week. Ora L. Nevius of Kampsville is the corn grower who has made this outstanding yield in this locality in competition in which thousands of farmers from 18 principal corn producing states participated, according to officials of this biggest corn yield competition.

Mr. Nevius and several other farmers in this county certainly produced more than their share of the nations’ record crop of 3,258,378,000 bushels of corn in the food front battle.

The champ’s yield is several times that of the estimated average yield for the United States of 32.71 bushels.

The county winner’s corn was grown rom Hybrid No. 888 and his yield calculated from the best five acre tract of corn o his farm. In recognition of his achievement the winner is being presented with an appropriate plaque by the DeKalb Agricultural Association.

Other big yiels recorded were made by N.L. Gotway, Kampsville, 68.30.

100 Years Ago December 4, 1919 A Thanksgiving dinner was served at the home of Mr. and Mrs. L. R. Tolbert of near Hamburg, in honor of their son Everett V. Tolbert, who has been in the U.S. army service for the past seventeen months, and is next to the last soldier boy from Calhoun, to return home. Roy Huffstutter, of Hamburg, the first lad from Calhoun to enter the service, is yet away from home.

Everett was in France during the greater part of his time spent in the service.

The last month of his ser-

vice was spent in Germany where he acted as a guard over captured German soldiers. He is looking fine and says he never felt better in his life but says he is glad to be back home again.

Friends and neighbors started gathering at the Tolbert home early in the morning and by eleven o’clock in the morning, forty-one were present. The time was spent in relating happy incidents of by-gone days and listening to stories relative to the world’s great war.

At one o’clock dinner was announced and such a bountiful dinner as it was. The meal consisted of chicken, roast pig, fish, potatoes, dressing, dumplins and gravey, pie, cake, coffee, fruits of all kinds, and many other palatable dishes.

The afternoon was taken up by looking over war relics which were brought back by the solider lad in whose honor this affair was held.

The crowd began departing about four o’clock in the evening thankful indeed for the opportunity of enjoying such as splendid dinner and to welcome Everett home after a victorious war of right and justice, and too, expressing their wishes that their next Thanksgiving would be just as happy and joyful as was this one. Those present were: Mr. and Mrs. Val Jacobs and family, Mr. and Mrs. Frank Tolbert and family, Mr. and Mrs. W.E. Martin and family, Mr. and Mrs. Mose Blackston and family, Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Blackston and family, Mr. and Mrs. Emil Tolbert and family, Mr. and Mrs. A.C. Houland, Mrs. Jake Emerick and son Lawrence, Roscoe Jacobs, and the Misses Goldie and Luvina Tolbert.

Health department named as Home Health honoree The Calhoun County Health Department has been named a 2019 Home Health Honors recipient by HEALTHCAREfirst, a leading provider of billing and coding services, CAHPS surveys and advanced analytics.

Home Health Honors is a program that recognizes home health agencies providing the highest level of quality as measured from the patient’s point of view.

“We are excited to recognize the 2019 Home Health Honors recipients for their hard work and dedication to providing exceptional care,” said Misty Skinner, Executive Vice President of Services at HEALTHCAREfirst. “I congratulate Calhoun County Health Department on its success in achieving this highest of

honors.”

Award criteria were based on Home Health CAHPS survey results for an evaluation period of April 2018 through March 2019.

Award recipients were identified by evaluating performance on a set of 19 quality indicator measures. Performance scores were aggregated from all completed surveys and were compared on a question-by-question basis to a National Performance Score calculated from all home health agencies contained in the HEALTHCAREfirst’s Home Health CAHPS database.

Home Health Honors recipients include those home health agencies scoring above the HEALTHCAREfirst National Performance Score on 17 of the evaluated questions. HEALTH-

State Rep. Davidsmeyer to seek re-election in 100th House District State Rep. C.D. Davidsmeyer, R-Jacksonville, along with a group of GOP legislators, were first to file for reelection today in Springfield.

Davidsmeyer is running for re-election as State Representative for the 100th House District.

“Today I filed to run for reelection to continue the fight for the people of west central Illinois,” Davidsmeyer said.

“After talking with friends and constituents, I have been encouraged by the number of people asking me to continue to serve. As your voice in Springfield, I am working hard to bring fiscal responsibility and conservative principles back to Illinois.

“I am running for reelection to continue the hard work of cutting wasteful spending, balancing the state budget, and helping to create good-paying jobs for our working families. It is my honor to serve as your State Representative and I ask for your continued support in 2020.”

C.D. Davidsmeyer is prolife and pro-family values.

As the area state representative, Davidsmeyer is fighting against taxpayer-funded abortion on demand, according to a news release.

As a strong supporter of our Second Amendment rights, C.D. Davidsmeyer sponsored and helped pass the Firearm Concealed Carry

C.D. DAVIDSMEYER Act (PA 98-063), making Illinois the final state to allow concealed carry for its citizens.

“I fought to protect the constitutional rights of lawabiding citizens in Illinois, by passing concealed carry for responsible gun owners. My office has assisted hundreds of constituents with their Concealed Carry License and FOID Card applications,” Davidsmeyer added.

Representative Davidsmeyer is pleased with the help his office has been able to provide to constituents.

“Every day, we are able to help constituents throughout the nine counties that I serve. My district office does a great job with constituent services and I appreciate my staff’s hard work on behalf of the people of the 100th District,” Davidsmeyer said.
