Dean extradited to Dunklin County, Mo.

“It all ended up with putting stuff in their drinks to sedate them.”

See page A4

JANUARY 7, 2015

According to documents filed with the Calhoun County Circuit Clerk, Dean allegedly “performed a substantial step toward the commission of [attempted aggravated criminal sexual abuse] in that he delivered to [the victim] a controlled substance by deception for other than medical purposes and thereafter attempted to remove the pants of [the victim]” on or about Dec. 27, 2011.

According to those documents, Dean is forbidden from entering any establishment that primarily sells alcohol, nor may he have contact with the victim.

He was released after paying $8,000 in bond for the charge in Calhoun, but was arrested on a separate warrant from Dunklin County in Missouri.

There, Dean faces counts for kidnapping and forcible sodomy for three separate victims on more than three separate occasions, according to court documents, with some incidents dating back to 2011.

According to information in court documents, none of the victims were underage – the youngest victim was 19 – at the time of the alleged offense.

Calhoun Deputy P.J. Parker, who led the

investigation, said the stories from the victims were all similar. The victims would allegedly ride with Dean to Dunklin County, Mo., where they would purchase produce to bring back for resale at Dean’s produce store in Kampsville.

“It was all pretty much the same MO all the way through,” Parker said. “They were going down there to get produce. He goes down there to get watermelons and stuff for his produce stand up in Kampsville during the summer time.”

He said Dean and the victims would get some drinks. According to court documents in Calhoun County, Dean allegedly put a controlled substance in those drinks.

The deputy said the initial break in the case came when Dean was arrested on three felony drug charges in Normal in late August. According to reports, among Dean’s belongings was a camera with photographs of naked men shackled at the wrists and ankles.

Calhoun County Sheriff Bill Heffington said the Normal Police Department reached out to his office with information in the case, seeking aid in the investigation.

The sheriff said Parker and other deputies have worked hard to identify victims from the photos, but noted some have still not come forward with their stories. He said some victims were not aware of the alleged crime committed against them.

“It all ended up with putting stuff in their drinks to sedate them,” Heffington said. “Most people thought they were just on a bad drunk.

They only knew after the photographs. That’s what brought it to their attention.”

The sheriff said the investigation took some time to put all the pieces together, especially when the investigation led to an out-of-state location for the alleged commission of the crimes.

Because the alleged crimes were committed outside Calhoun County, the sheriff’s department had to work with Dunklin County law enforcement to file charges.

Getting victims to come forward was a difficult aspect of the case, as well.

“It’s a touchy situation for your victims, and some of them are having problems,” Heffington said. “The psychological part of it is tough.”

Southern Calhoun hit by mailbox vandalism spree

By BOB CROSSEN Calhoun News-Herald The Calhoun County Sheriff’s Office is seeking any information relating to the vandalism and possible theft of more than 10 mailboxes in the southern end of the county.

Sheriff Bill Heffington said the metal box container for the mailboxes has been stolen from a number of properties in the southern end of the county, noting the posts for the boxes are still in the ground.

“Brussels. Golden Eagle. Pretty much on the Mississippi River Road,” Heffington said regarding the concentrated area of the thefts.

“Then we had one in the south of Hardin that’s gone missing. That’s what I’ve been doing all day. Checking all the creek crossings and all the

bridges. They had to ditch these some place. …

They’d have to have a truck or something to haul all these mailboxes.”

The sheriff said he was still receiving reports in the early afternoon of missing mailboxes and said it’s unclear who was being targeted with the theft. He said at times there are up to five missing mailboxes in a row before a string of boxes that were untouched.

“Some of them are damaged because they tried to get them off, but they couldn’t get them off,” Heffington said. “There are certain stretches that they skip and then they started in again like they had seen somebody and wouldn’t get out.”

Those with possible information regarding the vandalism are encouraged to contact the sheriff’s office by calling 618-576-2417.

By BOB CROSSEN Calhoun News-Herald Hardin Village Board members discussed the village’s options in how to best approach repairing or fixing the bridge to Inmanville in Hardin Monday night.

The bridge was condemned by the Illinois Department of Transportation in October 2012 when it was found to be too small to qualify for any federal funding for an update to its support beams. The bridge allows easier access to the village center via Vineyard Street without going north along George Street to the intersection at Myrtle Lane and Main Street.

Hardin Mayor Matt Haug said the board may approve placing pipe culverts to create a crossing over the creek below without using motor fuel tax funds.

“If we do use motor fuel, then we

have to have a sealed set of engineering plans and a hydrology study done because we’re blocking a waterway,” Haug said.

Going through with a plan that does not require an engineer and water study would be less costly, but the village would still need to find the funds to afford the project. Haug said he has reached out to County Engineer Barry Webster to do the work, but has not heard back.

The board also revisited its threeyear step increase plan for water bills that will continue this year. The cost per month will increase by $2.50 with the next monthly billing cycle as it did last year. Those on the bi-monthly cycle will see an increase of $5 on their bills.

Next year will have the same increase in January at which point water bills will be $32.50 per month or $65 every two months.

Dave Hurley said the increase in costs is necessary to build up money in the water fund to afford replacements of old lines, general upkeep of equipment and any emergency costs along the way.

“It’s for what we’re doing, what we’ve been doing and maintenance costs which we’ve never really figured in in the past,” Hurley said. “Pumps are $25,000 to replace. Part of this increase is to start a maintenance fund, if you will, to cover some of this.”

Tony Friedel said flushing the lines needs to be done on a more regular basis, as well, to ensure residents are getting clear water.

“Breaks or no breaks, who cares, we’ve got to flush. We need to set a date. Third week of the month, first week of the month, whatever. We’ve got to flush,” Friedel said, noting flushing can still be done during the winter (See, BoARd, A6)

JULY Unit 40 puts sales tax on the ballot The Calhoun Community Unit School District 40 Board approved to place on the ballot a referendum for the school facilities occupation tax.

The school facilities occupation tax, commonly referred to as a sales tax, would be imposed on retail goods and prepared food similar to the public safety tax passed by the county in November 2012.

It may not be used for teacher salaries or anything related to the instruction of students such as textbooks or computers. However, the money can be used for any improvements to school infrastructure as it relates to facilities maintenance or upgrades.

Golden Eagle Gun Club claims three state titles The Golden Eagle Gun Club took home three state titles at this year’s state shooting competition, and two of the teams will compete in the national competition July 13 and 14.

Doug Wilschetz, Golden Eagle Gun Club head coach, said there are three divisions based on age in the Illinois Scholastic Clay Target Program competition in which the club competed.

The group that took home first and third place in the rookie division were in fifth grade or younger, he said, while those who are in grades six through eight managed first in the intermediate division. He said the group competing in the senior division – all high schoolers – did not place, but put in a good fight.

The Calhoun Youth Center, also referred to as the Hot Spot, will be open to the public Friday from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. when it will host its open house.

Dick Lieber and Jean Lieber said they have been working the last three months to make a space open to the students since it was first brought to the village board in March.

James A. Ringhausen dies at 88 A former teacher and superintendent of the Calhoun Community Unit School District 40, American Legion adjutant and Knights of Columbus hall of fame member died July 13.

James Albert Ringhausen, 88, worked in Calhoun schools from 1953 to 1990, and even after retiring continued to work with the schools, including his job as the treasurer of Calhoun CUSD 40.

The Army veteran – serving 1945 to 1947 – retired from the financial position with the district in February this past year, citing his age as a reason for leaving the spot. In a Feb. 26 article in the Calhoun News-Herald, he said his greatest achievement was establishing Lewis and Clark Community College.

From the Apple Kingdom to the Big Apple More than 50 Calhoun Community High School band students, family members and friends are visiting New York City this week as part of the high school band’s annual summer trip.

Brian Markert, Upper Mississippi River Restoration Program manager, said the changes to be made at Rip Rap Landing – covering 2,338 acres of river bottomlands north of Mozier in Calhoun County – would benefit local wildlife and the environment.

“The primary goals of the project are to restore some of the hydrology and hydrologic cycle to portions of the site, and that’s going to benefit aquatics such as fisheries,” Markert said. “Other features of the project are going to benefit migratory birds.”

Killer of woman found near bridge faces 65 years An Alton man pleaded guilty of first degree murder and dismembering a body, and was sentenced to 65 years in prison Monday in Madison County Court.

Patrick A. Chase was one of two men accused in the November 2013 killing of 30-year-old Courtney Coats.

Coats’ dismembered body was found Dec. 19, 2013 near Hardin’s Joe Page Bridge.

Chase, who was Coats’ boyfriend, pleaded guilty to the crimes and was sentenced to 45 years for the murder and 20 years for the dismemberment.

Charges filed in Kampsville break-ins Charges have been brought against two individuals who authorities believe are involved in a series of attempted burglaries in northern Calhoun County.

Penny M. Rinehart, 32, and Manuel Pressey, 45, were each charged with two counts of residential burglary, one count of attempted burglary and one count of theft of more than $500. Pressey was also charged with burglary.

Deer permit quotas drop regionally There will be fewer opportunities for deer hunters throughout the area this year as the Illinois Department of Natural Resources has reduced the number of firearm permits for certain counties.

Tim Schweizer, IDNR spokesman, said the reductions are due to IDNR’s desire to control the population of deer in the area.

“One of the ways we can manage the population county by county is to vary the number of firearm permits they’re issued. Those are tweaked regularly. We examine deer management every year,” Schweizer said. “This year there’ll be some counties that will have their firearm deer permit quota reduced as a result of seeing the herd reduction goals – that we had set a few years ago – achieved.”

AUGUST Cemetery victim of vandalism; grave lot prices increase The cemetery sexton approached the board about recent vandalism to a headstone at a grave site located in the cemetery on North Cemetery Road in Hardin.

During a meeting Aug. 4, Phil Gress, cemetery sexton and former mayor, said the police are investigating the situation, noting the vandalism looks purposeful rather than an accident.

School districts jumping WCSIT ship A worker’s compensation trust’s recent billing habits have local school districts searching for new options and dropping their contracts with the company entirely.

During a meeting June 25, the Calhoun Community Unit School Board approved to enter into a contract with Mississippi Valley Insurance Cooperative (MissVIC) rather than remain with Workers Compensation Self Insurance Trust (WCSIT).

The main reason to change providers was due to a series of retroactive bills from the company, meaning it was billing the district for payments as far back as seven years ago.

County assessor clears air on EAV drop It was standing room only during the Calhoun County Commissioners meeting Aug. 7, when the supervisor of assessments presented information on the drastic shift downwards for the county’s equalized assessed value (EAV).

Since being appointed by the commissioners in September 2013, Pat Langland, supervisor of assessments, spent her time reevaluating property throughout the county to fix mistakes during previous assessments.

In doing so, the county’s total EAV dropped by around two percent. However, that drop was still not enough, according to the state, so an additional negative multiplier of seven was tacked on to the EAV. A Flag for America: Gift for Navy ship tours area The region became a part of military history last week when a United States flag toured the area ahead of it being placed permanently on a U.S. Navy ship in October.

The U.S.S. America will be commissioned Oct. 11 in San Francisco. Lynne Pace, wife of General Peter Pace, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff from 2005 to 2007, is the sponsor of the ship.

Katie Haddock, Otterville native and public affairs advisor for Gen. Pace, said it is customary for the sponsor of the ship to present a gift to the vessel that will remain adorned on it until it is decommissioned.

With few exceptions, area ag programs surviving Amidst the cuts to personnel, programs and extracurricular activities public schools are making to slash budgets, almost all local districts are clinging to their agriculture programs.

Of the 13 school districts in the five-county area composed of Calhoun, Greene, Jersey, Pike and Scott only two – Brussels and Western – do not have ag programs.

Beth Bettis, Greenfield High School principal, said being in a rural community makes offering agriculture classes a priority.

Billy-Bob show executive producer speaks with board The Calhoun Community Unit School District 40 board did not change its opinion regarding filming on school property, despite the possibility of a sponsorship for a new weight room.

The board took no action on the item after voting unanimously to deny filming on district property last week.

Jonah White, Billy-Bob Products owner, is the executive producer of “Billy-Bob’s Gags to Riches,” a television show about White’s company and life in Calhoun County. He sent a letter to the school board requesting the Discovery Channel show be given authority to film scenes on school property.

SEPTEMBER Former Kampsville trustee faces drug charges in McLean County A former Kampsville village trustee faces three felony drug charges and allegations of sexual assault after his arrest Aug. 22 in Normal.

IDOT awards county $1.5M grant for road to Brussels Ferry The Illinois Department of Transportation issued Calhoun County $1.5 million to be used to repave the road from Brussels to the Brussels Ferry.

Commissioner Chairman Doug Wilschetz said the grant money was allocated to the project through the help of Illinois Sen. Sam McCann (R-Carlinville) who made the announcement of the project during a regular meeting of the commissioners Sept. 15.

“When the Illinois Department of Transportation came to me and said they had an opportunity to assemble some money and [asked where] did they want to direct that money, I said to send it over to Highway 1 here between Brussels and the ferry,” McCann said. “I know that government doesn’t always work the best at any level, but here’s an example of government doing what it should do.”

CHS gym named after James A. Ringhausen Tears of sorrow and joy flooded the faces of many in the Calhoun High School gym Sept. 11, when the district revealed a sign naming the gym after James A. Ringhausen.

Prior to the reveal, Eric Kallal, a past coworker of Ringhausen, spoke of the former superintendent’s tireless efforts in support of Calhoun Community Unit School District 40 even after he had retired. Ringhausen died July 13 at 88 years old.

He is survived by his wife, Margaret Anne, who said she is honored a sign was erected in memory of James at the high school gym.

Hardin Police arrest man for burglary A Hardin man was charged for theft and residential burglary after he allegedly stole a safe out of a Hardin home Aug. 28.

According to court records filed Sept. 9, James D. Maguire, 21 of Hardin, “knowingly exerted unauthorized control over property of Thomas and Ava Ringhausen, being U.S. currency in excess of $7,000 … intending to deprive them permanent use of the property.”

Kampsville man awarded Bronze Star 44 years after service A Kampsville resident waited more than four decades to receive a medal for his military service during the Vietnam War. Jim Slinkard was a member of the 101 Airborne where he was a member of an artillery unit. Before he was sent home, he was told he would receive the Bronze Star when he reached his next checkpoint on the route home, but he was never given the medal.

He said he didn’t make a stir about not getting it at the time, but indicated to his wife, Brenda, a few years ago that he’d like to get it before it was too late.

OCTOBER Local applicants confident about medical marijuana permits Medical marijuana could be available as soon as spring 2015, but it is still unclear where it will be grown or sold.

Quite a bit of interest was shown locally in obtaining permits to grow the cannabis. County boards in Greene, Jersey, Pike and Scott counties, and the Barry City Council – all of which are in Campbell Publications’ trade area – approved letters of support to have medical cannabis cultivation facilities within their borders.

Paul Hanks dies at 95 Another ambassador for good will, hard work and dedication to the community died last week at the age of 95.

Paul Hanks, Pearl native, was a founder of the Calhoun County Health Department where he served as a volunteer president for 40 years.

He was a World War II veteran in charge of Army medical supplies, including vials of penicillin to be used to treat infections for U.S. military troops.

His name adorns both the Calhoun High School field house and the dental clinic at Lewis and Clark Community College in Godfrey. He was a member of the first board of trustees for the college, where he had also served as chairman.

Commissioners seek bids for courthouse work The next phase of work on the proposed courthouse could be right around the corner as the Calhoun County Commissioners have sought bids for infrastructure work on the building.

During a meeting Oct. 2, the commissioners approved to seek bids for electricity, heating ventilation and air conditioning, and for work on the roof on the proposed courthouse. The work will be bid separately as the county is acting as its own general contractor for the project.

NOVEMBER Grain trucks stress city infrastructure Following the collapse of a manhole on County Highway 1 near the grain elevator, Hardin board members mulled solutions Monday night to ensure more damage is not done to city infrastructure.

During harvest season it is not uncommon that trucks filled with grains line the highway north into Hardin – sometimes even reaching the car dealership in town – and south for just as long, as they wait to unload at the elevator.

The weight of the trucks has become a burden on the roads, however, as a manhole collapsed, leaving a long crack on the stretch.

Finding a solution to the problem proved elusive to board members Monday night.

Suspect in foot chase transferred to Madison Co. Following a routine traffic stop in Michael Oct. 28, a passenger with multiple warrants in surrounding counties fled from the vehicle before he was taken into custody the following day.

Calhoun County Sheriff Bill Heffington said deputies searched for the man throughout the night, but were unable to locate him until the following morning when he was seen walking along the side of the road.

“I apprehended him because he matched the description of the guy we were looking for,” Heffington said. “We didn’t have a clue why he ran or anything else on that traffic stop.”

The hunt of a lifetime: disabled kids snag first deer An outfitting company based in Kampsville teamed up with a charitable organization from Louisiana to offer a hunting adventure to two children with life-threatening illnesses last month.

Jason Bland, owner of Trinity Outdoors Disabled Adventures in Youngsville, La., met Ryan Bland, owner of Nontypical Outfitters in Kampsville, at a trade show in Lafayette, La. Jason said he had never met another Bland before and instantly connected with Ryan because of the common last name.

The two stayed in touch, and Jason organized an trip with his organization to bring two children with life-threatening illnesses to Calhoun County where they would go on a hunting excursion.

Calhoun voters approve sales tax Calhoun County voters approved the school facilities sales tax Tuesday in a 1,130 to 824 vote.

“I just want to thank all the folks who came out and voted and exercised their right to vote,” Sievers said. “As we move forward, we will continue to be fiscally responsible and committed to offering a quality education for our students.”

JoAn Corbett dies at 86 Known for her charitable work and community involvement, a pioneering female entrepreneur in Calhoun County died last week in St. Louis.

JoAn Corbett was the owner of Corbett Realty and Insurance where she was self-employed for the past 47 years.

She was an active member of St. Norbert’s Catholic Church in Hardin and a former board member for the Center for American Archeology.

But she was also an important figure for the American Cancer Society in Calhoun County where she was instrumental in starting Relay for Life.

Her son, Dufner “Duff” Corbett, said JoAn Corbett had many accomplishments outside her career in real estate and insurance. Her role with ACS – she was the unit chairwoman of ACS in Calhoun County – extended beyond the county’s borders, he said.

Police file charges on combine driver A Kane man has been charged in relation to a fatal accident that occurred Sunday in Fieldon.

Edward Phipps, 35, has been charged with improper lane usage and overwidth, both moving vehicle violations.

Phipps was driving a John Deere combine east on Illinois Route 16 Sunday afternoon, with a grain head attached. A Ford van driven by 86-year-old Ralph L. Grizzle, of Hardin, was traveling west, into the sun, and crashed into the combine, according to a crash alert from Illinois State Police.

Courthouse project takes big step The Calhoun County commissioners approved bids for window installations, construction of the roof and electrical work for the proposed Marvin Richter Courthouse during a regular meeting Monday afternoon.

The county received five bids for roof work, three for electric installation and one bid for the windows. Alliance Contracting was awarded the bid for the roof construction with a low bid of almost $55,000 while Bickle Electric was accepted as the low bid for electric work at a little less than $19,500. Both of those companies use union workers.

JUN Construction will install the windows with the low bid of $109,000, which the company said would reduce by an extra $10,000 from the initial bid price. Although it does not use union workers, JUN Construction does pay prevailing wage.

Commissioner Chairman Doug Wilschetz said totaling all costs together, the expense for the work came in around $70,000 less than budgeted.

Local company takes steps to bring Calhoun broadband service High-speed Internet could be in the future for Calhoun County residents as Illinois Rural Electric has applied for grant money to build the infrastructure to support it.

Bruce Giffin, spokesman for IRE, said the Federal Communications Commission allocated $100 million for small rural community broadband efforts. The money was raised through the universal service fund fee found on every phone bill, and that money is used to subsidize service efforts in high-cost service areas, he added.

Calhoun County is the perfect example of a community that could be serviced with such an upgrade, the spokesman said.

DECEMBER Village board appoints new member The Hardin Village board approved to fill the seat on the board vacated by Matt Haug after his appointment to mayor earlier this year.

In a unanimous vote, Craig Johnson was appointed to the position on the board. The vote was made after the board suspended the rules to take action on the matter as it was not on the agenda prior to the meeting.

During a caucus Monday morning, Craig Johnson, along with board members Dave Hurley and Eric Kallal, expressed their interest in running for the village board of trustees in April. All candidates will run unopposed in the election in April.

Eagle released after nine month recovery An eagle found on the border of Pike County was released back into the wild Dec. 6 at Two Rivers National Wildlife Refuge after months of rehabilitation at a Jersey County wildlife center.

Letter to the editor

Thanks everyone who helped with Santa to a Senior program TO THE EDITOR: On behalf of the staff at Home Instead Senior Care, I would like to thank everyone who helped with this year’s “Be a Santa to a Senior” program.

With support from generous shoppers, businesses which hosted a tree and collected gifts, namely JCH Wellness Center and First Mid-America Credit Union in Jerseyville and Pharmacy Plus in Carrollton, and agencies which provided the list of seniors who received the gifts, namely Illinois Valley Senior Center, Prairie Council on Aging, Greene County Housing Authority, Robings Manor and Calhoun Nursing and Rehabilitation Center, we were able to collect more than 150 gifts for local seniors who otherwise might have been over-

looked this holiday season.

We also would like to thank the many volunteers who donated their time to collect, wrap and deliver the gifts to the area seniors who are located in Calhoun, Greene, Jersey, Macoupin, Montgomery, Morgan and Scott counties, and many of whom struggle to make ends meet. Many of the seniors do not have family of their own with whom to celebrate the holiday season.

Thanks goes out to all who helped us brighten the holidays for our local seniors and for truly making a difference in our community.

Ameren made a generous donation to TreeHouse Wildlife Center in Dow to build a flight cage for bird rehabilitation last year. That donation is part of a program started in 2010

by Ameren.

“We have a very strong, what we call, avian protection program, and the goal of that program is really to make sure that our facilities in areas where there’s eagles and that type of thing are built in a way that if one of those birds lands on a pole or a structure and they spread their wings there’s enough space between the lines that they don’t get electrocuted,” Barud said. “This is something that’s really important to us.”

Downturn in deer harvest Local businesses and charitable organizations are feeling a squeeze from the reduction in deer harvest totals from the year’s first shotgun season.

Numbers have been declining in some areas for the past two years due to epizootic hemorrhagic disease (EHD) and a number of other contributing factors. The first season this year had particularly poor harvest numbers due, in most part, to the weather, Tim Krumwiede, district wildlife biologist based in Pittsfield, said.

Brussels students' tractor restoration featured in magazine Two years in a row, the village of Brussels has made its mark in a nationally syndicated magazine with this year’s article hinging on the school district’s shop class and the restoration of a tractor.

Chad Brodbeck, industrial arts teacher for Brussels High School, said he has been restoring old tractors since he was 11 when his grandfather introduced him to the hobby. He’s restored a number of tractors since then, and when he finds a vintage one to restore, he jumps at the opportunity.

The most recent restoration, however, took a different approach after he told his industrial arts class about the project and the four students in the course pushed to help rebuild the vehicle.

Consumers happy with gas prices As gas prices continue to plummet, consumers and some business owners are pocketing extra cash at the pump to help them through the holidays.

Based on information provided by GasBuddy, a website that tracks gas prices throughout the country, prices are down nationally from last year’s average by more than $.70. There has been a drop in the average of more than $.40 per gallon in the last month on a national level. Diesel prices, however, remain high, with just shy of 65 percent of stations selling diesel for more than $3.25 per gallon.

By the middle of last week, more than 50 percent of stations were selling regular gas for cheaper than $2.50 per gallon, despite 100 percent of stations charging more than $3 per gallon six months ago, according to GasBuddy.

Application made for rural public transit A tri-county rural transportation program is in the waiting game after sending its application for approval from the Illinois Department of Transportation.

The issue was initially brought to county boards in Jersey, Calhoun and Greene counties in the fall of 2013, but none were willing to commit to the program at that time. But in autumn meetings this year, the Jersey and Greene county boards approved to take the next step in the process.

Lacey Miller, assistant project director of Illinois Valley Economic Development Corporation, said IVEDC already has some transit services available, although they are only accessible by seniors. The grant money used to fund that program can be used as a local match to make the program open to members of the public, as well.

Hello out there all my column fans. Hopefully, I will be able to write one more often.

Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Our family was kept pretty busy the week before and after Christmas.

We were lucky enough to have all our kids, kids in-law etc home. Our daughter-in-law, Sonya, had to work and was unable to come back with Ted (Rusty), and the boys Reed, Ross and Rowe. The Saturday evening before Christmas we enjoyed supper with Chet, Vanessa, Mandy and friend, Bev and Terrill.

Christmas Eve I went to Mass (thankfully, the roof didn’t fall on me.) That was only third time in several months I was able to attend Mass. After Mass, I drove to Lutheran Church and attended Christmas Eve services.

Christmas morning, Betty, Paul, Terrill, Bev, Redeye and I enjoyed breakfast with Mark, Robin, David,

Jason and Mary Baalman. Sunday after Christmas, we all joined Mike and Becky at their Villa for brunch. Also enjoying brunch with Mike and Beck, we were blessed to have all our kids and grandkids, except our great grandson, Xander in NC. He called his Noma (grandmother) Xmas.

OK, now for the not so much fun we have been dealing with.

First part of October, I had a chemo treatment. Everything seemed to be doing ok, but by middle of October, I was in so much pain I could hardly function. I was staying with Mike and Becky from Oct. 30 until Nov. 2, when Redeye and Bev came home from NC. They attended Rowe’s last football game, and parent’s night.

I finally went to Dr. Tan, Cancer Doctor, and he said the pain was the cancer trying to pull loose, and spread. He gave me pain pills that help a lot, but it never really leaves.

I, also, have gone back on the cancer

pills. Hopefully, they will stop the cancer like it did before.

Redeye has been visiting his doctors, also. Has to have blood work tomorrow.

Our little Village was beautifully decorated for Christmas.

Mark Becker and Chuckie Vanvleet put lights up all over town. Beautiful job. Thanks so much fellas, you did good. Redeye had our yard looking a lot like Christmas. I managed to get our glassed in porch decorated.

I will try to get news in ever couple weeks. Right at the moment, I don’t get out and around enough to write much.

My heart felt thanks to all of you who asked about me, called and checked on me and prayed for me.

I truly believe that my pills stopped the growth once and if I follow instructions, (which I most certainly will,) I can head it off at the pass.

And how was your week??

See you soon.

Put Your Problems in God’s Hands, for He Completely Understands Although it sometimes seems to us Our prayers have not been heard, GOD always knows our every need Without a single word…

And HE will not forsake us Even though the way seems steep, For always HE is near to us A tender watch to keep…

And in good times HE’LL answer us And in HIS love HE’LL send GREATER THINGS THAN WE HAVE ASKED And BLESSINGS WITHOUT END… So though we do not understand why trouble comes to man can we not be contented just to know that IT’S GOD’S PLAN. Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think… unto him be glory…Ephesians 3:20, 21

The first Sunday of the year saw us off to a great start at BCC. A new series on prayer has begun. The message during the first Sunday was entitled “Why Pray?” There are several special day shout outs to share. Happy anniversary to Jeff and Michelle Bridges who celebrated on Jan. 1. Nick Wright celebrated a birthday on Jan. 3. Jarrod Hayn will celebrate a birthday on Jan. 10 and Josh Bridges celebrates on Jan. 13. Happy anniversary and birthdays to each of them. We would love to have you join us some day so feel free to visit with us.

They are usually prominent around Christmas time. You may have seen them. Gowns as pure white as the fresh fallen snow that flow in the wind.

Luscious locks of blonde that radiate as bright as the sun, soft wings that twinkle beneath the winter sky’s glow, A crowning halo, a symbol of innocence and glory, generates a sparkle as it suspends in the air just above their heads. Angels. We may use the term to describe a child, so sweet and timid. Maybe a singer whose voice touches the depths of the soul could be said, “has the voice of an angel.” As a minister and a student of the Bible, angels have become a part of my study.

I have studied the seraphim and the cherubims. Let’s not forget those that have been named specifically such as Gabriel, Michael, and even Lucifer.

There have been angels that I have seen and angels that I have not. As to the last sentence, I want to share with

you a definition from dictionary.com about the word angel. It is the fifth of seven definitions attributed to angels: “a person having qualities generally attributed to an angel, as beauty, purity, or kindliness.” Kindliness. In the past several months during our journey with cancer, there have been visits from angels who have shown to us kindliness that expressing gratitude with mere words does not do justice. Meals.

Gifts. Words. These are just a small portion of the kindliness that has been shown to us. Today, we begin the next phase of the journey against cancer. It is a word that I never thought would be used so close to home: radiation.

After thirteen days and 3000 miles, we returned home from our escape. It was an escape of doctors, treatments, and phone calls. We needed a break.

2015 was coming. It would involve more treatments, doctors, and phone calls. We still anticipate 2015 to be a great year but much like any year, it would have its moments. The battle against cancer would be one of those moments. The first two months will find our family spending little time with each other. Something we have become accustomed to on Belleview Hollow Rd. We tried to make the best of it while we were away. When we returned to our home nestled among the bluffs of Calhoun County, April was the first to walk to the door. I was beginning the long process of unpacking the truck from two weeks’ worth of luggage, souvenirs, and gifts. Arms

LET US DO THE WORK FOR YOU

Estates are designedtotohelp help Estates are designed filled with my first load of luggage to At Jerseyville Estates, we’ll help you get youget get you take into the house, April came out the door with a stunned look upon her face and tears welling in the corner of more more her eyes. In her hands was a card that more out of each and every day. was found taped to our door. Inside out of out of was a gift. There was no writing inside the card. The only writing was found You can remaineach living an independent each and and on the envelope with all five of our names. An angel. We do not know everyday day who the angel was? That single great lifestyle, enjoy every your freedom, privacy, act of kindliness shown to the Thomas and remain living an and remain living an Family 5 by your secret visit reminded us that as we journey into 2015 and respect & dignitylifestyle independent lifestyle independent the next phase of the battle, we are not alone. All around us, God has given us friends and family to encourage us, to pray for us, and most of all, like angels, show us kindliness.

Angels are around us. They could be the neighbor next door who helps feed your animals while you were gone. They could be across the county and willingly take the time to fix a meal or bring gifts. They could be anywhere in the state or country. Yes, they do exist. We have been recipients of their kind acts and virtuous messages. To all those angels…thank you. We are eternally and humbly grateful for the acts of kindliness that you have shown.

I do not know any other better way to express our gratitude. May God bless each one of you dear reader in the year 2015 and may it be our best one yet.

Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for by this some have entertained angels without knowing it.

Foiles Migrators returning to Pike County

By BETH ZUMWALT Calhoun News-Herald Jeff Foiles has announced plans to bring his business back to Pike County. Foiles, formerly located in the Pittsfield Industrial Park, has purchased the building at the corner of US. 54 and Rt. 96, in Atlas, formerly an antique shop, and will be selling hunting supplies from that location.

“We have closed on the purchase already,” Foiles said. “We are waiting on the previous owner to get her things out. We have already started some work on it.”

Foiles said the upstairs will be used as an office for the time being and eventually may be turned into quarters for hunters. He said he has applied for a liquor license and expects to sell package liquor, as well as hunting supplies for water-

fowl hunting and may eventually get into the gun business.

He said the business will employ approximately four employees, all who have been employed at his St. Louis area location.

“Our online business is our biggest deal,” he said. “It’s just a family business, with two employees, myself and my wife, Deliah.

Foiles is hoping to be open mid to late February in the new location.

Haug said those who complain about their water generally have few problems after the lines are flushed, and after the maps are made through the Community Development Assistance Program grant the village has received last year, the engineering company can help make flushing more efficient with routine plans.

The mayor suggested the water committee, chaired by Friedel, create a policy to bring to the village board at the next regular meeting for a vote.

Regarding other committee business, Hurley said the finance committee will be meeting in the near future to review the village’s financial accounts to find ways to save money and be more fis-

Dean (Continued from A1) The Calhoun County Sheriff’s Office also worked with the Normal Police Department to assist investigators in the execution of a search warrant on Dean’s property in early October.

Circuit Judge Charles H.W. Burch recused himself from the case on Dec. 29, and Dean was brought before Judge J. Frank McCartney after his arrest.

In an order filed Dec. 31, the case was continued to Feb. 3 at 1:30 p.m. in the Calhoun County Courthouse.

A schedule for appearances for Dean in Dunklin County was not available by press time, but he remained in custody with a $350,000 bond.

Dean was a Kampsville village trustee for two terms starting in 2001 and 2003.

cally responsible. He said there was nearly $1 million cash on hand when he started as a board member and now that amount has depleted to less than $500,000.

“The best way to handle it is to set budgets for every account,” Hurley said. “I know we’ve had a lot of expenses and we’re continuing to have a lot of expenses, especially when we’re putting water lines in. We’ve got money that we’re going to have to come up with and we’re sitting here at less than half a million.”

Additionally, the board opened sealed bids for the demolition of a house on Main Street. Two of the bids came in at the exact same price, and the board agreed to reach out to those two low amount bidders to request additional sealed bids to settle who would receive the job.

The 2014 Farm Bill Program has three steps to complete signup, which includes Base and Yield Update, Program Election, and Annual Enrollment.

Update base acres and yields now through Feb. 27. During the update period, the current owner can choose to reallocate base acres, and/or update counter-cyclical (CC) yields.

Election Period runs now through March 31. Current producers with an interest in the cropland will elect, for the farm and/or crop, the program for the life of the farm bill. These options include: Price Loss Coverage (PLC) is a price risk program; Agriculture Risk Coverage County Level (ARCCO) is a revenue loss coverage county level; Agriculture Risk Coverage Individual Level (ARC-IC) is a revenue-based program. Annual Enrollment runs mid-April 2015 through mid-summer 2015. Enrollment for Crop Years 2014 and 2015 will occur simultaneously. Enrollment for Crop Years 2016 through 2018 will be announced at a later date For questions, stop by the Jersey/ Calhoun FSA Office located at 604 East Franklin Ave., Jerseyville, or call at 618-498-6836 ext. 2.

Live and Let Live The great American philosopher and psychologist William James once remarked that while people are pretty much the same the world over, we all want and need the same basic things, the small differences between us are important, and make all the difference. Indeed, we all have our own unique way of being in the world, or as James put it, "Different men find their minds more at home in very different fragments of the world." For instance, I would much rather spend Sunday afternoon curled up with a book in a quiet corner of my home, while many others might prefer the noisy chaos of a football or basketball game amid a cheering crowd. The sooner we realize that both of these activities, the quiet reading alone and the noisy throng of the sporting event, are acceptable diversions, the better off we all are. We all have our own individual sense of what moves us and we should do our best to let each person follow his or her own spirit. God did not make us all the same, but blessed each of us with our own unique way of being in the world. So, we should embrace our differences and the differences of those around us.

As our French friends say, viva la difference!

Who are you to judge someone else's servant?

To their own master, servants stand or fall.

And they will stand, for the Lord is able to make them stand.

Romans 14:4

– Christopher Simon

‘Cinderella’ comes to the Fabulous Fox Jan. 20 – Feb. 1

Calhoun recycling initiative is offered to Calhoun residents on saturdays from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., weather permitting.

Calhoun recycling program celebrates one year in operation

By Carmen ensinger Calhoun News Herald As the New Year rolls in, so does the first anniversary of the Calhoun Recycling Initiative which offers Calhoun residents a free local repository for recyclable items.

The program, based in Hardin, was cofounded by Patricia Stelbrink and her sister, Pam Browning who were interested in recycling but hampered by the lack of a local place to take them.

According to Stelbrink, the first year has been a rousing success.

“I’m happy to say that it has been far more successful than we thought it would ever be,” she said. “There are a lot of people that are passionate about recycling who have supported this initiative over the past year.”

Located behind the car wash in Hardin, any Calhoun resident can bring recyclables to the recycling container each Saturday from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. as long as weather permits.

“If it’s raining or snowing, or the road to the container is hard to navigate, we will be closed,” Stelbrink said. “We always make the announcement on Facebook and also through email so people don’t make a wasted trip up here.”

Bob Sander’s Waste provides the recycling container but each time the container gets full, it costs $375 to dump, which CRI must pay for.

“We took the issue of funding before the county board and while they were very supportive of the program, they just didn’t have the funds to cover it this year,” Stelbrink said.

“We hope to get more support from them this year but we’re determined to make a go of it either way.”

Sanders comes to dump the container on average about once a month.

“The Village of Hardin has been nice enough to pack the container down for us once a month which allows us to get an extra week out of the container,” Stelbrink said.

“Chris Schulze and Joe Patton have saved us a lot of money in fees by doing this.”

Money to dump the container comes strictly from donations from organizations and individuals.

“We are a recognized program of the Calhoun Community Foundation and they very generously provided us with the funds to remove and replace the container three times,” Stelbrink said. “They are a wonderful organization and we are very pleased to be affiliated with such a wonderful group of people who take such pride in our community.”

Twin Rivers Wildlife Refuge also paid for a dump but other than that they have been operating on individual donations.

“People have been really good about donating what they can every week,” Stelbrink said. “We even had one person donate enough for one dump which was phenomenal. We also had a new tarp donated to us by Millie Ringhausen which was very

much appreciated.”

When they started, it was their goal to expand the program into the schools, too. This has occurred on a partial basis as of now.

“Logan Johnson collects the recycling from the high school and brings it to the recycling center on Saturday,” Stelbrink said. “The ladies in the high school cafeteria are even saving their boxes to recycle, which is fantastic. We’re very happy to have Logan doing such a wonderful job with the recycling at the high school and we’re happy that the FFA recognizes how important recycling is.”

Unfortunately, they are not able to receive any money from the items they recycle.

“We do have a lot of corrugated cardboard, but to be able to sell it we would need a bailer and the ability to store 40 bales of the cardboard,” Stelbrink said. “Unfortunately, we are just not able to do that at this time.”

Their goal for the new year is to get a new cover for the dumpster that is considered semi-permanent.

“The one we want can be removed when the container is removed but has a rigid structure that prevents puddles of water and ice from accumulating on the tarp,” Stelbrink said. “We will be having a fundraiser in February to help us meet this goal and to help fund the program in general.”

Currently, they are looking for more volunteers to help run the program on Saturday mornings.

“We have Logan Johnson who works with us most Saturdays through the FFA program, but it’s really a two person job,” Stelbrink said. “This is especially true when closing up the container when it’s windy. There are three people that generally alternate the weekends, but it would be nice to have more volunteers so that the same people aren’t always working it.”

Stelbrink said they are thinking about having a meeting one day or evening to help people know what to expect when they volunteer.

“If someone wants to help, they just need to help people dump their recycling and know what is allowed and what isn’t,” she said. “We have a list of items that we allow in the container and can provide that to anyone who wants it. They also need to know how to work the ratchet straps which told the tarp on.”

Stelbrink asks that people not leave their recycling by the gate or throw it over the gate.

“This has been an issue in the past and we ask that people not do this,” she said. “Also, keep in mind that our hours change during the summer month so if anyone ever has any questions about the recycling they can contact me.”

Stelbrink can be reached by email at mollydolly4300@hotmail. com or by phone at 618-535-2217.

Rodgers + Hammerstein’s “Cinderella,” the 2013 Tony® Award-winning Broadway musical from the creators of ‘South Pacific” and “The Sound of Music,” will play the Fabulous Fox Theatre for a limited engagement from Jan. 20 – Feb. 1.

Tickets for Rodgers + Hammerstein’s “Cinderella” at the Fabulous Fox are on sale now online at MetroTix.com, by calling 314-534-1111 or in person at the Fabulous Fox Box Office. Ticket prices start at $25. Prices are subject to change; please refer to FabulousFox.com for current pricing. Rodgers + Hammerstein’s “Cinderella” is part of the U.S. Bank Broadway Series.

Performances of Rodgers + Hammerstein’s “Cinderella” at the Fabulous Fox run Jan. 20 – Feb. 1. Show times are Tuesday through Saturday evenings at 8 p.m., Saturday afternoons at 2 p.m. and Sunday afternoons at 1 p.m. There will be a Sunday evening performance on Sunday, Jan. 25 at 6:30 p.m. and a matinee performance on Thursday, Jan. 29 at 1 p.m.

Direct from playing the role on Broadway, Paige Faure has taken her glass slippers on the road as she continues in the title role for the tour.

Ready to sweep Cinderella off her feet, Andy Jones plays the role of Prince Topher. Andy was a member of the original Broadway company of Rodgers + Hammerstein’s “Cinderella” and understudied the role of Prince Topher.

The touring cast also features Beth Glover

(Grey Gardens, All Shook Up) as Madame, Ella’s wicked stepmother, Kecia Lewis (Leap of Faith, The Drowsy Chaperone) as Marie, The Fairy Godmother, Blake Hammond (First Date, Sister Act) as Sebastian, Aymee Garcia (Shrek The Musical, Avenue Q) as Charlotte, Ashley Park (Mamma Mia!) as Gabrielle, David Andino (50 Shades! The Musical) as Jean-Michele and Antoine L. Smith (Memphis) as Lord Pinkleton.

Rounding out the ensemble are Adrian Arrieta, Adrian Baidoo, Summer Broyhill, Audrey Cardwell, Jennifer Evans, Alexandra Frohlinger, Richard Gatta, Jordana Grolnick, Eric Anthony Johnson, Danielle Jordan, Bruce Landry, Ben Lanham, Stephanie Jae Park, Blakely Slaybaugh, Paige Williams, Thad Turner Wilson, John Yi and Alexandra Zorn.

With its fresh new take on the beloved tale of a young woman who is transformed from a chambermaid into a princess, this hilarious and romantic Rodgers + Hammerstein’s “Cinderella” combines the story’s classic elements – glass slippers, pumpkin, and a beautiful ball along with some surprising twists. More than just a pretty face with the right shoe size, this Cinderella is a contemporary figure living in a fairytale setting.

She is a spirited young woman with savvy and soul who doesn’t let her rags or her gowns trip her up in her quest for kindness, compassion and forgiveness. She longs to escape the drudgery of her work at home and instead work to make

the world a better place. She not only fights for her own dreams, but forces the prince to open his eyes to the world around him and realize his dreams too.

“Cinderella” has music by Richard Rodgers, lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein II, a new book by Douglas Carter Beane and original book by Oscar Hammerstein II. The musical is directed by Mark Brokaw and choreographed by Josh Rhodes.

Music adaptation, supervision and arrangements are by David Chase and orchestrations are by Danny Troob.

One of Rodgers + Hammerstein’s most popular titles, “Cinderella” was written for television -debuting in 1957 starring Julie Andrews. In 2013, the show made its long-overdue Broadway debut.

Along with “Cinderella,” Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein’s legendary musicals include “Oklahoma!,” “Carousel,” “The King and I,” “South Pacific” and “The Sound of Music.”

Mr. Beane’s book for “Cinderella” blends masterfully with the musical’s cherished score with songs including “In My Own Little Corner,” “Impossible/It’s Possible,” “Ten Minutes Ago” and “Do I Love You Because You’re Beautiful?”

The CINDERELLA tour is produced by Robyn Goodman, Jill Furman, Stephen Kocis, Edward Walson, Venetian Glass Productions, The Araca Group, Caiola Productions, Roy Furman, Peter May, Sanford Robertson, Eric Schmidt, James Spry and Blanket Fort Productions.

For 50 years, there has been a Herter-Meyer Christmas drink.

This year was no exception; Larry and Susan Meyer again played host and hostess to the event at their home in South Calhoun.

Everyone enjoyed the grub, especially the Turtle soup from St. Mary’s.

Everett is now the senior member of the group and used that authority to guarantee good weather for the Arkansas folks (no ice, snow, or cold temperatures).

Those in attendance were Mark and Jan Herter, Fred and Jane Herter, Larry and Susan Meyer, Everett and Dorothy Meyer, Marty Meyer and his significant other, Kelsey, all from Golden

Eagle, and Al and Diane Herter from Mountain Home, Ark. Al and Diane had a chance to tour Calhoun before the party with Vera Herter of Columbia, Mo., who gave a very educational and enlightening tour of the following; the three homes in Hardin that were built by John Adams for himself and his daughters, the Barefoot Restaurant owned by cousin Ed Herter, who was surprised to see his cousins there, Ralph Keener property of Golden Eagle, who was Al Herter Sr.’s cousin and best friend, and the stunning development of Winneberg which was once a brick factory and later a rock quarry.

Thanks Aunt Vera for sharing the past.

Brussels’ Brady Ellis goes up for a layup Monday night against North Greene. Brussels lost, 87-35

By KoRy CaRpENTER Calhoun News-Herald Brussels varsity girls basketball coach Steve Schulte has a plan.

And even when he could have likely softened the blow of Friday night’s 75-34 loss to Calhoun by wavering from that plan, he decided that the long-term goal was more important. The Raiders are young, small, and quick. They look like a team that will someday pressure teams full-court and create havoc for four quarters. But against a team like Calhoun, speeding up a game and creating more possessions can backfire. It did on Friday, and the Raiders were down 20-4 after eight minutes.

“We had a game plan when we came in, but we couldn’t stay with their height,” Schulte said. “They can pass over the top of you and we didn’t force enough turnovers with our pressure.”

The small Brussels gym played to the home team’s advantage early, but the height and speed of one of the top-ranked teams in the state

quickly turned the Brussels press into layups.

“That’s what we do,” Schulte said of his team’s pressure. “And I don’t want to change what we normally do to go against one team.

“They can pass over the top of you and we didn’t force enough turnovers with our pressure.”

Steve Schulte Brussels Varsity Girls Basketball coach I don’t want to mess it up for down the road.”

If Schulte absolutely had to beat Calhoun on Friday, he probably wouldn’t have played the way he did. And he knows that. A bunch of undersized underclassmen weren’t going to beat Emma Baalman and Grace Baalman by playing faster.

But a perfect game plan and execution might not have made a difference, either. And for a team with three sophomores in the starting lineup and another pair coming off the bench, a 41-point loss playing the way they are supposed to play might be better than a 20-point loss playing a style they would have used and thrown away.

Schulte is planning for 2016 and beyond.

“Next year we ought to be good,” he said with a smile. “It’s going to be awesome in the next few years.”

The loss dropped the Raiders to 9-6, although Schulte partially blames that on a tough schedule with better teams than they were accustomed to facing in the past.

Teams like Calhoun. He still thinks his team can win 20 games this season after winning 16 games a season ago. Whether that happens or not, Schulte and the varsity Raiders will have plenty of experience returning the next two seasons. And thanks to a coach with a plan, there will be no questions about how Brussels basketball is supposed to play: fast.

Mason Caselton of Brussels drives to the basket Monday night against North Greene. The Raiders lost, 87-35.

Calhoun girls continue to dominate in Friday's win over Brussels

By KoRy CaRpENTER Calhoun News-Herald Calhoun girls varsity coach Aaron Baalman speaks about his team like the driver of a fine-tuned automobile. Everything is there to outrun and outlast opponents. It just needs the space to operate.

Sometimes – like last Friday night in the crowded gym at Brussels, where players have to stand in bounds to pass the ball in – the space just isn’t there.

That is when things can look “erratic,” as Baalman said of the first few minutes of Calhoun’s 75–34 victory over Brussels in front of a packed house. Brussels’ fullcourt pressure seemed to fluster the Warriors early on. Passes flew out of bounds and the score remained low.

“We’ve got a lot of big athletes and we like to run,” Baalman said after the game. “Some of the lanes we normally have were closed up.

It’s just one of those games where you play it as it is and tomorrow you focus on the next game.”

The unorthodox conditions were only a factor for so long. Calhoun figured out the press midway through the first quarter, finding the soft spots in the middle of the zone that led to a string of lay-ups.

The Warriors led 20-4 after the first quarter and 41-15 at halftime.

Juniors Madison Lehr and Kassidy Klocke were hot from outside, knocking down enough 3-pointers to keep the defense honest. And like most Calhoun games this season, the outside shooting threat made it even easier for Grace Baalman and Emma Baalman in the paint. Grace finished with 19 points and Emma added 12 of her own.

“This is a great group,” Aaron Baalman said. “If someone tries to double down on the post, our wings are doing a good job of opening things up from the outside.”

The Warriors played like a team with bigger goals than just defeating the Raiders, which they did anyway. They played like a team with the Illinois state tournament on its mind, even though they don’t seem to talk about goals that far away.

A rival coach watched Calhoun dismantle Brussels and wondered out loud who could beat them.

Notre Dame (Quincy, Ill) and Southwestern have already, but no one else. He said it would take a perfect game from five great players, which might not happen until the state tournament.

“We really don’t worry about long-term goals,” Aaron Baalman said. “We take it day by day and try to improve every day.”

Improvements every day could make the 17-2 Warriors one of the teams to beat in the postseason, where there will be plenty of room to run.

The Warriors returned to action Saturday against North Mac. Emma Baalman led all scorers with 23 and scored her 1,000th career point, finishing with 1011 overall. Kassidy Klocke added a pair of 3-pointers.

Calhoun jumped out to a 25-4 lead after the first quarter and Calhoun cruised to a 70-23 victory. The girls return to the court Friday night at home against Carrollton. The Junior Varsity team tips off at 6:15 p.m.

Two-Rivers Delta Waterfowl chapter hosting dinner The Delta Waterfowl Annual Waterfowl Heritage Fund Dinner, hosted by the Two-Rivers Chapter of the delta Waterfowl Foundation, will be held Saturday, Jan. 17 at the Brussels American Legion. The doors open at 5 p.m., for social hour before you sit down to a delicious meal.

Many unique and valuable prizes will be raffled and auctioned. Place the highest bid and you could go home with sporting art, hunting guns, knives, calls, outdoor equipment, and more.

Your ticket to fun at the TwoRivers Chapter’s Annual Waterfowl Heritage Fund auction and dinner is $45. Your membership will help the DWF support waterfowl management on public, private, and corporate lands and preserve waterfowl hunting as a traditional North American pursuit.

If you want to join the nation’s fastest growing and most progressive waterfowl conservation organization today, reserve your tickets today by calling Jeff Kamp at 618-883-2162. For more information log on to our website at www.deltawaterfowl. org.

Since its inception in 1911, the Delta Waterfowl Foundation (DWF) has strived to become North America’s leader in waterfowl ecology and waterfowl hunting. The core of Delta’s operation is its student research program, which was initiated in 1938 by “The Father of Wildlife Management”, Aldo Leopold. Delta students conduct high quality, independent research related to waterfowl and wetland ecology with the ultimate goal of maintaining

a sustainable North American waterfowl population for the use and enjoyment of future generations.

Delta’s student research has identified and developed waterfowl management activities that are beneficial to waterfowl production: Adopt a Pothole, Predator Management, and Hen Houses, all function with the dual goal of increasing waterfowl production and engaging sportsmen in conservation activities.

Delta also functions as a North American advocate and champion for the future of waterfowl hunting. As a component of their “Waterfowling Initiative”, Delta is committed to creating opportunities for youth to participate in waterfowl hunting activities, while at the same time learning to become a safe and ethical hunter. Delta believes the future of hunting lies firmly in the hands of youth all across North America.

With policy representatives at both the U.S. and Canada, Delta represents waterfowl, waterfowl hunting interests and promotes farm friendly conservation programs on a national basis, Regional policy desks in both North Dakota and Manitoba allow Delta to actively engage waterfowl issues in the heart of North America’s “Duck Factory” – the Prairie Pothole Region.

Delta’s Canadian headquarters is located in Winnipeg, Manitoba, while U.S. headquarters is located in Bismarck the capital city of North Dakota. For more information on Delta Waterfowl, contact its International office toll free at 888-987-3695 or visit their website at www.deltawaterfowl.org.

Blessed-Trinity parishioners stand as Bishop Thomas Paprocki walks down the aisle during opening procession of mass at St. Mary in Brussels. The service Dec. 8 marked the church's first mass since a fire gutted the church in 2011 on Christmas Eve. Since that time, a committee of parishioners have worked with Father Don Roberts and the diocese to restore St. Mary which was originally built in 1863. Rebuilding ran into snags when the state required the church have handicap accessible entrances and bathrooms.

Despite those delays, the church continued progress toward rebuilding while also salvaging pews and stained glass windows from other churches in the diocese. A reception was held following the 6:30 p.m. service Monday.

Angled lines above the arched east doorway of the old school building in Hardin show where the bathroom addition formerly stood.

County highway department employees tore down the structure and began cleaning out the building's interior to get a better look at its foundation. During a board meeting July 3, Chairman Doug Wilschetz said the foundation may be more solid than originally thought which may lead to lower renovation expenses.
