Mountain lions protected by law; no bobcat season

By BOB CROSSEN Calhoun News-Herald Changes to conservation laws have created a paradigm shift in how to approach the shooting of certain animals, most notably mountain lions.

For years, Illinois Department of Natural Resource educators have told hunters and members of the public they may shoot mountain lions without penalty from the law, but with their addition to the Illinois Wildlife Code – alongside American black bears and wolves – shooting them is now illegal.

Jersey County conservation officer Michael Goetten said the new law is a “game changer,” and IDNR Sgt. Mark Wagner echoed that sentiment.

“That’s a big change from what we’ve been telling people the last 20 years,” Wagner said.

“There’s only been a few substantiated cases where we’ve been able to document, ‘Yes that is a mountain lion.’”

The IDNR sergeant said Illinois does not have many sightings for American black bears, and that wolves are a rarity in the area. Shooting wolves, however, is also a violation of the law, and under federal law known as the Endangered Species Act a wolf may not be shot for any purpose.

Although mountain lion population is low in the area, he said the big cats have prowled the region.

Many of the sightings of those big cats, he said, turn out to be bob cats, which was another issue on the docket for the state legislature last year.

Shooting bobcats is common in other states with regulated hunting seasons, and Illinois came close to passing a law last year that would have allowed for the establishment of a bobcat hunting season. Sen. Sam McCann (R-Carlinville) introduced legislation that had widespread support in the house and senate. However, former Gov. Pat Quinn vetoed the bill before leaving office, citing

protection of the animals as his reason.

“We will not have a bobcat season this year, at least as of now, and everybody was planning on having a bobcat season,” Wagner said. “It would help us manage a population that has kind of gone through the roof.”

McCann issued a statement Jan. 13 in which he declared his intention to file new legislation in the near future that will be essentially the same as the previous bill.

Wagner said the bobcat population has grown in the past two decades, and surveys from IDNR biologists confirm that the cats continue to reach larger numbers.

With such agile predators roaming around the state, he said the populations of turkey, quail and other fowl come under pressure.

“They’re taking a toll on the turkey population along with the rabbits, quail, and other species.

That’s why it’s important for us to establish a season and for us to regulate the population,” Wagner said.

With a bobcat season, IDNR, which supported the bill, would be able to regulate the population, leading to a positive effect on the populations for game birds, some of which have been placed under different codes in conservation law.

Wagner said turkey and waterfowl are now under the same code. The violations have also scaled up to become more severe crimes with harsher punishments. Rather than being filed as a petty crime, Wagner said violators can be charged with Class B misdemeanors.

“The waterfowl clubs are now under the direction of the outfitters laws. They kind of combined deer, turkey and waterfowl all together,” Wagner said. “That gives us a little bit more teeth as far as dealing with the waterfowl clubs. It gives us more laws that we can go and deal with them.”

around the county – not unlike the Cakeway to the West initiative last year for the 250th anniversary of St. Louis. Robinson said the deer could be added to maps alongside barn quilts as an additional tour during the annual Church and Quilt Tour each fall.

With funding for the art classes, children will be able to learn how to paint, mold, sculpt and create in a variety of artistic media for free at the Michael art gallery. Classes are offered at the center at a cost, but Robinson said not everybody can afford the materials.

She said giving children an artistic outlet is an important part of their growth and individualism.

“The teachers in the county, from what I’ve heard, do a great job of trying to implement art projects into their daily programs, but it’s really good for kids who have an inclination for art to really have things available to them to continue their learning in this creative fashion,” Robinson said.

Classes aren’t only for children at Stone Bridge Valley, however. Linda Basden, Stone Bridge Valley owner,

said the center will continue its regular offerings for classes every third Tuesday at 10 a.m., and Fab Fridays every other week from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.

Every second Sunday, she said, Stone Bridge Valley hosts events for families where the attendees decide what medium of art they want to make and create at their leisure.

“We have a choice of several different projects, so we don’t actually outline the projects. They have a theme,” Basden said.

As an example, she said the January theme was winter wonderland and those who visited the center were given an opportunity to paint winter scenes on ceramics, wine bottles and gourds.

Others, she said, painted their designs on canvas.

Other offerings give a more guided tour of an artistic medium with the help of a local artist.

Those artists will also be featured in gallery exhibitions throughout the year.

Basden said the gallery shows aim to be more inclusive of local artists, as some (See, art guild, A2)

Shadow of scooting past

By BOB CROSSEN Calhoun News-Herald A program aimed at raising funds to provide free art classes to children in Calhoun County is kicking off this year after a brief reveal last summer.

Lynn Robinson, Calhoun Art Guild member, is the organizer for the program, Deer on the Move, which emulates the Cows on Parade program in Chicago in 1999. The money from each deer decoy purchase will be put toward funding children’s art classes at Stone Bridge Valley in Michael.

The purchase alone is not the only way the deer decoys contribute to the county, however, as those who have purchased the deer may paint and decorate them to their liking.

“The goal is to get 25 to 50 deer out in Calhoun County so that when people come to the [quilt] tour, they’ll look at the deer, too,” Robinson said. “The real goal for us is to offer art classes to kids in Calhoun for free since they don’t have art classes at school.”

Owner of Bickle Electric, Rob Bickle, left, and Chris Baker, right, put some finishing touches on electrical work to the Marvin Richter Courthouse project in Hardin Monday afternoon. After Ameren sends power through the lines, addtional work on the interior of the building will begin.

Kicking into full gear n Courthouse roof complete, electrical work on its way

By BOB CROSSEN Calhoun News-Herald Dirt and mud have been turned as workers began installing electrical power lines to the proposed Marvin Richter Courthouse in Hardin Monday.

Under clear blue skies and temperate weather, electricians from Bickle Electric dug out a trench to set electric lines to power the courthouse. Bernie Loft, Calhoun County owner’s representative, said the project is moving along.

With the trench dug and electrical lines in place, he said the next step of the project will require Ameren turn on power to the building so work can begin on the inside.

Loft said the roof work is finished on the building, which leaves the window installations – the last of the three parts of the project put

out for bid last fall– as the final key for this stage. He said the materials have been ordered and await delivery.

Calhoun County commissioner chairman Doug Wilschetz said he could not be more pleased with how the project is progressing.

“All of the interior demolition has been completed, new roof is on, electrical service is being installed, and you will see new windows very soon,” Wilschetz said in an email Tuesday. “We have been handed an amazing opportunity, and though it may take us a while, when it’s finished, I think we’re going to have a beautiful county government building. One that everyone will be proud of!”

By ROBERt LYONS Calhoun News-Herald The number of area residents who took advantage of the state’s concealed carry permit in its first year of availability hovered right around the 1 percent mark, which was less than some anticipated, and right in line for others.

In 2014, Illinoisans were granted the right to carry concealed firearms, becoming the final state in the U.S. to adopt some form of the legislation. Last week, Illinois released statistics on the first year of processing concealed carry permit applications.

In the state’s first year, more than 91,000 Illinoisans applied and received a concealed carry permit, including 280 in Jersey County, 123 in Greene and 69 in Calhoun.

Just four counties in the state had fewer permits granted than Calhoun. Sheriff Bill Heffington said he is not surprised by the number of applicants, which is about 1.4 percent of the county’s population.

“I think most people in this county are rural, and they’ve got guns anyhow,” Heffington said. “I don’t think too many of them applied for it.”

Jersey County Sheriff Mark Kallal, however, thought there would be more in his county. He still believes many more Jersey County residents will sign up. Around 1.2 percent of residents received a permit.

“I think a lot of them may be waiting through the start of it, and give it some time,” he said. “They’re probably weighing their options, as far as what it’s going to cost to get it and if it’s worth it or not.”

Fewer than 1 percent of Greene County residents received a permit.

March through July were the most active months for applications approved by the state. In Jersey County 208 applications were approved in that span, while 51 of Calhoun’s were granted in the same period. All but 30 of Greene County’s approved applications were granted in the five-month time frame.

Statewide, 2,359 applications were denied by Illinois State Police. Six of those denials were in Jersey County.

When applications are submitted to the state, the applicants’ names are made available to county sheriffs. If an C

applicant poses a risk as an armed citizen, the local sheriff can object. But, that was not the case in Jersey County, according to Kallal, who said he did not object to any applicants.

“There were some different things happening with the application system that could have been causing [the denials],” Kallal said. “It may not have been anything specific that they have done, or they may not have filled out the application right, or something like that.”

Heffington said he checked the applications periodically for any potential “red flags.” Over the year, however, he said just one application was objected to by his department. In total, however, two Calhoun County applicants were denied.

If a law enforcement agency objects to an applicant, the applicant can appeal the objection. At that point, according to Heffington, documentation is sent to ISP supporting the sheriff’s stance.

“We can always file an objection, but then the state police have the final say-so in all of it,” Heffington said.

Just one applicant from Greene County was denied.

ISP conducts its own background investigations and can approve or deny an application based on its own findings.

The state police do not have to follow the recommendations of local police agencies.

Mountain lions (Continued from A1) In terms of other hunting changes, trapping licenses now require the completion of a safety course before they can be acquired. Wagner said people were buying trapping licenses last year on a whim to make some money because fur was selling at a high price.

Requiring safety classes before receiving a license was a theme of many new laws to hit the books in 2015. Boat licenses, for instance, require operators of boats with greater than 10 horse power complete a boater safety course.

“I think, any kind of motor, you should go through the safety class, I don’t care what the size is,” Wagner said. “It is a good thing that every-

one has to go through that boater safety course now.”

Also in boating regulations is the requirement that those towing a skier or an individual in a tube must display an orange flag to alert other boaters to their presence.

Boaters who are caught multiple times operating a motorized water vehicle under the influence can be subject to seizure of their boat as they would if they were driving under the influence.

There are a number of other new laws added to the codes for conservation police in 2015, and to see a full list, visit dnr.illinois.gov where there is more information about hunting services and how to report a conservation violation.

(Continued from A1) central Hardin to be used as a courthouse for county offices, but it wasn’t until a donation from Delford Richter that movement started on the project.

Richter donated $1 million to the county for the purpose of modeling the structure into a new courthouse under the condition that the building honor his father, Marvin Richter, who was an influential figure in the farming community.

Plans have gone through several iterations – initially the second floor was going to be completed first – before commissioners and Richter settled on a financially efficient way to complete the project.

When this stage is finished, the first floor of the courthouse will be open to the public where they will have access to the treasurer’s, county clerk’s and assessor’s offices in one place. The current government offices’ setup houses the treasurer’s office in the courthouse across the street from the assessor and clerk.

Unifying the offices under one roof is not the only purpose of getting the

courthouse remodeled, however. The current courthouse has faced a number of problems ranging from leaking ceilings to an outdated elevator, but most of all, office holders are running out of space for vital records.

The offices in the proposed courthouse boast additional space and a room that could be used as a vault for important documents.

The second floor will house the offices for state’s attorney and circuit clerk where those office holders will have easy access to the courtroom across the hall. Connected to that room will be both the jury and judge’s chambers.

It is not clear when the stage to complete the second floor of the building will begin, but part of the plan involves the installation of an elevator shaft on the east side of the building where there was formerly a restroom addition to the school building.

That addition was torn down last year to make way for a new structure for handicap accessible restrooms and an elevator.

(Continued from A1) of the events will feature more than one person’s work.

Traditionally, only one artist would display work in the gallery at a time.

“We’re reaching out and not doing just single person shows. Some of them have two people. Some of them have three people,” Basden said.

“Our October show is going to be a group show. … We’ve got families who are artistic, so [this way] they can show their art.”

Featuring more artists throughout the year and having events on a more regular schedule were two goals the center had in mind for 2015, she said.

People would often hear about shows after they had happened, and Basden said she wanted to be more proactive

in getting the word out to the public about offerings.

“They’re scheduled and they can put them on their calendar. They don’t have to come if they don’t want to do it, but at least they know it is going to be offered that day,” Basden said, adding the addition of more artisttaught classes will improve variety.

Concealed carry (Continued from A1) history or any domestics or violence,” Heffington said. “As long as none of that shows up, [the application] usually goes on through pretty good.”

Local attorney Josh Evans, of Wittman and Lorton P.C., said there are legal options for individuals denied a concealed carry permit, but the time frame for acting is short. He said local circuit courts – as is the case with most administrative decisions – can conduct a judicial review.

“If you’re not on the ball with filing your petition in that 30 days, then you’re just out of luck,” he said, noting an attorney is a necessity when challenging an ISP denial.

Evans, a Greene County native, said the Wittman and Lorton law office has represented denied applicants. He said issues that are not rationally related to a person’s ability to responsibly carry a firearm can cause a denial. One such issue could be an order of protection, he said.

“Someone could have frivolously filed an OP thinking it would give them a leg up in a custody battle, or something to that nature,” Evans said, adding that a court battle makes the

concealed carry permitting process exponentially more expensive. “We’re seeing people who might have something in their record that makes the objection questionable.”

If denied, Evans said an attorney will take time to counsel a client on the likelihood of successfully challenging the decision. He said, whether or not he believes a denial is worth challenging, there is no guarantee of a successful judicial review.

Overall, the two sheriffs and Evans have been impressed with the process and ISP’s diligence in screening applicants.

“They’re putting a pretty good lid on it,” Heffington said. “It’s pretty tight, and we double check it.”

Kallal said there may be changes to the system in the future, but believes it is working just fine for the time being.

“Anytime you’ve got any process, there’s always probably ways to make it more efficient,” he said. “But, from what we’ve seen so far, it seems to be pretty efficient. To my knowledge, I don’t think we’ve had any issues with it.”

During 2014, 145 concealed carry instructors were revoked.

Author seeks answer to purpose in new book

By Bob Crossen Calhoun News-Herald A Kampsville man looking for answers to life’s questions is hoping his newest book can provide guidance through a biblical lens for those on a journey similar to his own.

In his fifth book published by Tate Publishing, “The Calling,” Rod Connell seeks to understand purpose in life through scripture.

This question, he said, is a universal one that everybody asks themselves at some point in life.

“This book came as a result of a friend who endorsed a couple books for me who gave a twopart message called, ‘Why on earth am I here?’” Connell said.

“That’s really everybody’s question, ‘What’s the purpose of my existence?’”

Connell said “The Calling” puts a heavy focus on those questions and seeks to understand them from God’s point of view.

“The Calling” explores biblical scripture to understand the main calling in life, and offers a nonexhaustive list of what to do after understanding that purpose.

“The answer to the question is really a very simple one: to glorify God and enjoy him forever,” Connell said. “To me, that’s a profound statement. My whole purpose is to glorify God and enjoy him forever. That’s the basic call.

Once you answer that, what follows it?”

Chapters range from experiencing God’s love to understanding faith in God, and each section starts with verses that frame the chapters.

Connell’s understanding of his purpose has changed over the years, however. He initially set out to be a fiction writer, but life took a different turn after he got married. He and his wife had four children, and he started a Montessori school in Hardin.

The Kampsville author studied theologies of all kinds and delved into the world of philosophy. All that searching never left him satisfied, he said, but it all still led him back to the same point.

“After all my study in philosophies and religions and

Christianity, my whole thing has gotten down to one thing,” Connell said. “I’ve simplified all these complexities, and everything I, in some ways, write all points to the central point.”

With more than 30 years of study in Christianity, he has found

“As you divide it into all of these sects and factions, it weakens it, and each one thinks they’ve got an understanding of how it really is.”

Rod Connell Author answers to some of the questions he has had and continues to find solutions to unanswered questions.

He said he could have written a longer book with more detail on the individual points, but noted he wanted to put forward something simple in nature in the hopes it would not create much division on the concepts within.

“We’ve done so much with the gospel. That’s what’s so confusing,” Connell said. “People have taken what I think was really a basically simple message that Christ taught and made it so complicated that we’ve divided and weakened the body in the process.”

His next book “True Identity,” he said, will delve into that idea of division, which has been the most effective weapon against faith.

“As you divide it into all of these sects and factions, it weakens it, and each one thinks they’ve got an understanding of how it really is,” Connell said. “That’s very opposite of what the Bible teaches.”

“The Calling” is available for purchase in paperback and ebook on Amazon and Tate Publishing’s website tatepublishing.com. His next book, he said, has been sent to the publisher.

■ Blessings from Belleview

by Chris Thomas ■ 217-734-9012

This past weekend was a great weekend for Belleview Community Church.

Several people who have been out for a while due to health and other undisclosed reasons returned to join us. We had a wonderful turnout. A few of our younger ones are celebrating birthdays in the next week. Happy birthday to Tamara Osterman who celebrates on Jan. 21. Also, Abby and Emma Thomas will celebrate their birthday on Jan. 25. On Sunday, Jan. 25, we will begin a new series on faith during a “Deeper” sessions, a Sunday night focus on faith and fellowship. We serve a fellowship meal at 5:30 p.m. and begin our faith session at 6 p.m.

Everyone is invited to attend. For more information feel free to call us at 217-734-9012. During our 10:45 a.m. morning service, the series on prayer continues. If you have any questions or need any counseling, please know that I am available to you, whether you attend Belleview or not.

As we sat on the precipice of a new year, I was asked the highlight of 2014. It was an answer that did not take long for me to give. This past Sunday, as I completed a two part sermon on why no answer, I shared that highlight with the congregation.

As we searched the Bible for answers as to why God does not answer prayer, I reminded them that no is an answer. Too often we will only accept an answer as long as it is given the way we want it to be given. A difficult lesson I have learned often in life.

By this time, I am sure you are wondering about my highlight.

It was when April was diagnosed with breast cancer.

For many the idea of being diagnosed with cancer is certainly not what one would consider a highlight of one’s life. Years ago, ABC Wide World of Sports put out a video called “The Thrill of Victory and the Agony of Defeat.” The agony of defeat is probably how most people would define the diagnosis of cancer for us. Yet, we do not feel defeated.

Of all the memories to cherish of 2014, why this particular one.

Before I proceed any further, let me be honest. I did not want it to be cancer. I wanted it to be a blip, a mistake, a malfunction with the imaging. I wanted the doctor to tell us that all is well and life can proceed as normal. Reliving the emotional roller coaster of “it is, it isn’t” of October is not what I would want to go through again.

I prayed that God would not let it be cancer. Let it be anything else, just not cancer. During the message of “Why No Answer” I shared a reason found in the Bible (by the way, there are several reasons). Sometimes we do not get the answer we want because God is trying to teach a lesson.

Maybe this is why God did not give us the answer we want.

In the aftermath of the news, I learned of God’s faithfulness.

Even my wife shares the same view as I. We have never been left alone. Through the gifts of others, we have been well cared for beyond measure. We

Unexpected gifts. Each of these have demonstrated that we are not alone in Calhoun. There are many willing to step up and help each other when we are in need.

Yes, the highlight of 2014 has been what we have been shown after my wife was diagnosed with breast cancer. We are so blessed to have discovered God’s goodness in the difficult times. Also, there is a wonderful assurance to know that throughout the county, people like you are ones that we consider friends. Last but not least, it also served as a reminder that Calhoun, as I approach the completion of my third year as pastor at BCC, is home. (Paul is speaking of what he called his “thorn in the flesh”) Concerning this I implored the Lord three times that it might leave me. And He has said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for power is perfected in weakness.” Most gladly, therefore, I will rather boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may dwell in me.

Explore active vacations If the thought of lounging on a beach for a week isn't exactly your idea of a memorable vacation, then you may enjoy more activity in your recreational pursuits.

Many individuals and families brainstorm their getaways well in advance of taking a trip. A jaunt to the coast may have satisfied an urge to wander in years past, but if you're interested in something that is a bit more physical and demanding, you may want to spend your next days away from the office on a more active vacation.

An active vacation is a trip that is built around physical activity. Instead of keeping the poolside chaise warm, you may be participating in a walking tour or hiking across a national park.

Such vacations provide a respite from the daily grind and benefit the mind and body.

Estimates from U.S. News and World Report suggest that active travel accounted for $60 billion in vacation spending in 2007.

Over the past half decade, the number of people interested in active vacations has continued to grow and, as a result, more destinations are catering to such vacationers.

Those ready to embark on an active vacation can choose from a host of options and locales.

Horseback riding Making a trek on horseback is a great way to see the countryside from a new perspective.

Many resorts worldwide offer horseback riding in which you can tour mountains, crags, trails, and other adventures. Some resorts pair horseback trekking with camping and other activities for a well-rounded adventure.

Water sports Many vacationers enjoy water sports like kayaking, canoeing, river rafting, riding jet skis, surfing, snorkeling, and scuba diving.

Depending on your skill level, you may be able to work with a water sports company that offers experienced guides to help you through some of the more challenging parts of the trip. Some vacation providers also may offer training and certification, such as becoming SCUBA certified.

Biking and hiking There are thousands of miles of trails just waiting to be explored.

Many national parks and wildlife refuges have walking and biking trails, or you can create your own travel itinerary and explore trails less traveled. Biking and

walking tours also are possible in urban areas. See the sights and sounds of the city as a pedestrian and mingle with locals as you squeeze in some shopping.

Mountain climbing Boost adrenaline levels by scaling mountains or rocky crags nearby. Many companies offer climbing courses so you can learn before exploring. Rely on experienced climbers to assess your skill level and choose mountain ranges that match up well with your skill level. Novice climbers may be able to rent gear if they're not yet ready to purchase.

Volunteering Volunteering allows you to marry a vacation with social consciousness. For example, Habitat for Humanity is a nonprofit with worldwide reach that helps make affordable housing a reality. You may be able to volunteer your time helping to build houses or making improvements anywhere in the world.

People who enjoy staying active on vacation have many choices. Whether rafting down a river or touring a national park on horseback, active vacation opportunities abound.

weather report and conditions of the trail before you go and outfit your feet accordingly. n Hydration: Don’t be fooled into thinking that staying hydrated is not important in cooler weather.

As always, carry more water than you think you may need in case of emergency.

If you’re hiking in more extreme weather conditions, you may need an insulated water bottle to handle the temperature. Look for options that are easy to carry and open so you don’t need to remove your gloves to quench your thirst. n Fuel: Whether you’re hitting the trail for a leisurely afternoon jaunt or you’re powering through a challenging climb, hiking burns calories, especially in colder weather, when your body expends energy trying to restore its natural body temperature.

Take a hike: enjoying the great outdoors year-round Just because the weather is cooler, doesn’t mean it’s time to hibernate. With the proper equipment, preparation and motivation, any time of year is the perfect time to get outdoors for an adventure.

And you don’t have to look far for a great hike. Across the country, there are 59 gorgeous National Parks and thousands of state parks to choose from, comprising tens of thousands of miles of trails.

Hitting the trail this season?

Make sure you’re well-equipped to handle whatever comes your way. n Footwear: Your regular running shoes may serve you well on a gentle slope in the warmer months, but in cool weather at high altitudes, different precipitation and terrain may require something sturdier, more insulated and definitely waterproof. Check the

is important.

Pack snacks that are high in energy, easy to eat and won’t weigh you down, such as trail mix or granola bars. n Useful tools: Whether you’re an experienced adventurer or a weekend warrior, the tools you choose should be well-designed to handle your pursuits and enhance your experience. n First Aid: Even quick hikes require a basic first aid kit. Be prepared with bandages, antibiotic ointment, antiseptic, splinter removal tools and basic medication.

There’s nothing like exploring the beauty of nature year-round.

Just be sure to do so safely and wisely. By getting prepped with innovative tools and basic equipment, you can relax and enjoy the hike.

The Agricultural Act of 2014, also known as the Farm Bill, eliminates direct payments and gives farmers and landowners the onetime option to reallocate base acreage and update payment yields.

Because these important decisions, along with many others contained in the Farm Bill, cannot be reversed until the five-year bill expires in 2018, COUNTRY Financial is sponsoring more than 60 seminars around Illinois to help farmers and landowners understand the implications of the bill on their Federal Crop coverages.

Local COUNTRY Financial representative, Daniel Eberlin, will hold an informational seminar in Hardin, on Jan. 30 at 10:30 a.m.

The free event will be held at Illinois Riverdock restaurant in Hardin.

“It’s important for farmers to understand how the decisions they make today will affect their coverage and protection for the next five

In his spare time, Dennis enjoyed carving, woodworking and playing cards. He was also an avid motorcycle enthusiast and thoroughly enjoyed attending various car shows throughout the area.

In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by two brothers, Pat and Paige Holliday.

Dennis was a very outgoing, sociable man who never knew a stranger. He had a genuine concern for others that even through all of his personal trials, never wavered.

He always thought of others and

Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box.

You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!

put everyone else’s needs before his own and will be greatly missed by his family and all who had the honor of knowing him.

Per his wishes, cremation rights have been accorded.

Redemption

Christians believe that we are saved by Jesus' suffering and death on the cross, in essence that he suffered and died for our sins. We consider Jesus' suffering to be sacred, as it is part and parcel of humanity's redemption. Jesus showed us that suffering can be sacred. That is not a cure or remedy for suffering, but a way to at least make it meaningful. It is sometimes said that human beings can live without anything except hope. We might also say that we can suffer anything as long as there is some meaning or purpose in it. As the philosopher Nietzsche put it, "He who has a why to live for can bear with almost any how." Nothing is worse than severe and interminable suffering that has no meaning. That might almost serve as a definition of Hell: severe and endless suffering that has no meaning. Imagine having the realization at the gates of Hell that we could have had salvation, but instead we chose selfishness, momentary pleasures and sin and now we are going to pay for it. That bargain, to sell one's soul for momentary pleasure or selfish gain, will undoubtedly appear meaningless in the grand scheme of things.

Infinitely better to delay gratification and suffer meaningfully now than risk eternal meaningless suffering in the hereafter.

For it is better, if it is God's will, to suffer for doing good than for doing evil. For Christ also suffered once for sins, the righteous for the unrighteous, to bring you to God. 1 Peter 3:17-18

Calhoun boys face stiff competition in Winchester

By Kory Carpenter Calhoun News-Herald After defeating West Central on the opening night of the 93rd annual Winchester Invitational, the Calhoun Warriors had a tough road ahead.

They had advanced to the winner’s bracket but still saw Griggsville-Perry and Carrollton standing in their way of the championship game.

They faced Griggsville-Perry in the quarterfinals last Wednesday, but the Tornadoes’ offense was too much to handle and GriggsvillePerry escaped with a 73-65 victory.

The Warriors bounced back two nights later with a fifth-place trophy

on their mind. They faced the tournament’s No. 7 seed, North Greene, and held the Spartans to 62 points en route to a 71-62 victory.

That gave Calhoun a meeting with Liberty early Saturday afternoon for fifth place.

The Warriors played Liberty within one point after eight minutes and took a 41-38 lead at halftime, but Liberty pulled away in the second half. The Eagles scored 18 points in the third quarter and 20 points in the fourth quarter, and it was too much for the Warriors to overcome. Calhoun finished the tournament in sixth place out of 16 teams. They return to the court Jan. 27 at home against Brown County.

three charged with illegally hunting deer at night Three Richland County men have been charged with illegally taking deer at night.

A total of 13 deer, 11 of which were antlered bucks, were taken by three subjects. The case was investigated by the Illinois Department of Natural Resources (IDNR) Conservation Police. Caleb L. Diel, 18, of Olney, Dylan E. Mitchell, 18, of Olney, and a juvenile, have been charged in the case. Diel and Mitchell are charged with Felony Resource Theft, Unlawful Hunting by Use of Lights from a Vehicle, and Unlawful Hunting Deer at Night.

Diel also was charged with Unlawful Possession of a Firearm with No Valid FOID Card. The juvenile was charged with Unlawful Take of Deer and related offenses. All of the bucks involved in this case had their heads removed and their bodies left or dumped in the area in which they were killed.

No meat was kept from any deer involved. The subjects had been boiling the buck skulls to make skull mounts.

Need to submit information to the Calhoun News-Herald office but can’t make it to our office during business hours? Don’t worry...

...We’re open 24/7 at calhounnewsherald.com

All of the buck heads were seized as evidence.

In addition, the .243 rifle used by the subjects was recovered and seized. All deer were killed between the hours of sunset and sunrise with the exception of one killed on October 26, 2014.

After consultation with Richland County State’s Attorney David Hyde, warrants were issued for all three subjects and the charges were filed on December 19, 2014. On January 2, 2015, a seizure warrant was issued for the 2002 Dodge 1500 pickup truck used in these violations. The truck has been seized pending forfeiture to the IDNR. Caleb L.

SPECIAL

Brown Rice Frittata with Bacon and Edamame FAMILY FEATURES

W

hen you are looking to serve up a taste of yesteryear, look no further than your pantry for a staple you can incorporate into meals, including snacks, breakfast, dinners and even desserts.

Instant white or brown rice and multi-grain blends provide easy ways to put a fresh twist on traditional recipes your family knows and loves.

For a delicious, modern take on classic family favorites, look for ways to integrate current flavors that complement the original recipe. Start new family mealtime traditions with easy recipe makeovers. For example, traditional broccoli, cheese and rice casserole only gets better with bacon, and using quinoa adds a subtle new texture. You can also give your sweet potato casserole a lift with white or brown rice for an updated take on this revered dish.

Using a quick and wholesome ingredient like fluffy Minute Rice saves cooking time so you can transform your favorite recipes while spending less time in the kitchen and more time with loved ones.

These recipes demonstrate how to update recipes from a frittata and casserole to dressing and stuffing for new ways to enjoy the classics.

Explore more recipes and preparation tips at www.minuterice.com.
