Hardin Village board eyes water main replacement plan BY MARk PACE Calhoun News-Herald A plan to replace the water main system throughout the Village of Hardin was presented to the village board at its meeting Monday night. Bartlett & West, the company in charge of the project, sent a representative to walk the board through the plans and explain the expected necessary steps needed to update the current system. The water flow for the current system is currently low across the village. “We are looking for 250 [gallons per minute]. With your current system, there are very few hydrants [throughout the village] that meet this criteria,” said Kevin Wittman, the representative for Bartlett & West. Wittman presented the board with six maps showing the system and repairs that will need to be made. Five of those maps consist of amendments

or replacements to the current system that could take about five years to complete. Most of the piping throughout the village will need to be changed from 4 inches to 6 inches in diameter to allow optimal water flow. The village replaced the piping around the bridge about 10 years ago, but that will also need to be replaced by new 6-inch piping. “Originally we were hoping that [the piping around the Joe Page Bridge] would not need to be replaced,” Wittman said. “However, to get water flow north of the bridge we found that that piping truly does need to be replaced.” The first amendment stage of the process involves updating current piping to functional 6-inch piping, and the following phase will also add 8-inch piping running north and south along the river. Production for phase one is scheduled to begin this week.

The entire process will cost about $200,000. The current design is based on all the pumps being off, which is the worst case scenario for the system. In other business, the board unanimously approved sponsoring a new tennis camp. The sponsorship will cost the village $350. The money will cover the cost of three instructors to come and teach the camp. It will also cover the cost of some tennis balls. There is a fee to attend the camp which will cover more tennis balls, T-shirts and possibly one more instructor. “We have the tennis courts. We might as well utilize them and get some more activity going in Hardin,” Hurley said. Hurley is looking for a grant to provide money for the tennis camp in the future and expects the camp to mainly be able to support itself in the future.

Hardin to launch website By MARk PACE Calhoun News Herald The Hardin Village Board unanimously approved to spend roughly $10 a month to buy a domain name and launch a website. The website is already designed, but the board had to approve the use of funds before the website could be launched. Mayor Matt Haug expects the website to be up and running before the board’s meeting next month.

Small class size fuses large bond

class for his senior year. The class of five was the smallest class in school history. The prior lowest enrollment for any class came from the class of 1987, which included seven students. “It’s definitely interesting

Dr. Mark Martin Unit 42 Superintendent of Brussels Community Unit School District 42. That is, until this year. The Brussels’ 2015 graduating class featured three students throughout grade school and high school: Adrianna Eberlin, Marisa Kuhn and Jordan Ohlendorf.

to say the least,” Eberlin said. “You get to know each other really well, and you find out pretty much everything about the other people.” The three consider themselves to be best friends and plan to remain close even after graduation. However, just like with any group of close friends, they can get under each other’s skin. All three agreed that Jordan can be the most annoying. “He just talks all the time,” Eberlin said laughing. It was a claim Jordan agreed with. When one of them did something to annoy one of the others, there was

no hiding. They had to deal with each other all day. However, it gave the three students a strong and unique bond. Some of the key concerns for the small class was testing and attendance. Luckily for the school, each of the three

tested well and received high grades. If one of the three would have scored poorly in standardized testing throughout high school, it would have really hurt the school’s averages. Also, some of the state funding the school receives is

based on attendance, so with a missed a day of school, the attendance percentage would plummet. However, the good outweighed the bad, according to the students and school administrators. (See, small class, A2)

Village Consignments WOTUS opposition remains in spite opens in Brussels

By MARk PACE Calhoun News-Herald Village Consignments opened its doors for the first time this weekend, offering a place for locals to consign goods. The shop sells antiques, collectibles, glassware, accessories, furnishings and a variety of items that will attract customers to come to the town and buy what is on display, store owner Carla Gazall said. “I think this is good for the community to promote good will, to have an outlet for a lot of the locals that I know who do craftsmanship … and to bring tourism here,” Gazall said. “People come here from the Brussels and Golden Eagle ferries and come right up this strip. Why not give them another reason to stop in Brussels?” Although the store is inside, Gazall thought stormy weather might keep customers away from the grand opening, but that was not the case. The first weekend brought in over 100 customers, and Gazall was thrilled. Customers came from out of town and out of state. Due to the high turnout last weekend and an expected increase in demand for next weekend, Village Consignment added

another date to its schedule. The store will now open June 6 and 7 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. The idea for a consignment shop in Brussels stemmed from last year’s quilt tour. Gazall and a couple of other people from the area were talking about consigning some of the quilts from the tour, so they did. She then expanded from there and decided to start her own store. “I’m very interested in there being other businesses

here in Brussels,” Gazall said. “I love the historic town of Brussels … I was hoping that local people who do crafts and things would bring things here to consign, and they have.” In order to help encourage locals to consign their crafts and antiques, Gazall sweetened the pot. Instead of offering consigners the standard 60 percent of earnings from the product, she is giving 75 percent of the earnings to those who bring the items. (See, brussels, A2)

Outdoor Truths: Gary Miller

Every catch is worth celebrating

I’ve taken some time out of the last few days to fish the river. This is my sport of choice during this time of year. The weather has been perfect and the fish have been cooperating as well. One morning I felt like Mike Iaconelli who is one of the pros from the Bass Elite Series. Mike is known for his loud screams when he catches a big fish or a fish that gets him in contention to win. He really lets his emotions be seen and heard. I felt the same way the other day as I was landing several good fish. The difference in Mike and me is that he is fishing from a fifty thousand dollar bass boat, and I am in my twelve foot, river jon boat. But the thrill is the same. It doesn’t come from what’s above the water but from what’s below it. It’s that unexpected bite that becomes that

unexpected fish which gives you that unexpected battle. When it culminates with fish-in-hand, there is nothing else to do but give a big, bold, unashamed scream or high-five, or anything that celebrates the victory. For some reason many of us are hesitant to openly celebrate. Men are especially reserve when it comes to this. Sometimes we think it’s unbecoming to an adult. Other times we fear celebrating now because of what may lie ahead. It’s the old thought that we shouldn’t get too excited about something until the outcome is certain. And we surely can’t enjoy the good times because something bad is just around the corner. Now I know I’m speaking (writing) to some of you who fall right into this trap. Some of you catch a five pound bass and shrug it off

as if it is commonplace for you. Other times you won’t allow yourself to celebrate because you know there is still a “long way to go.” Let me tell you, you are missing out on some great moments. In life there are too many tough times. We deal with some trouble, problems, or heartaches, every day. Some are minimal; others are life-changing. We have no idea what tomorrow holds. We may be awakened by an unexpected phone call informing us about an unexpected tragedy. We may be met at work with an unexpected pink slip. We may be notified by our doctor about an unexpected illness. We just never know. There is one thing I do know however; I know I can celebrate each and every good moment and good day with a bold and unashamed zest. No one can keep me from

celebrating with everything I have. A n d for me, I will choose to milk every present moment of all its praise whether that moment is something as small as landing a bass from the river or something as big as winning the BassMasters Classic. I hope you will too. n Gary Miller is an outdoorsman from Harrowgate, Tenn.

Memoir of Oliver August Eschbach He was born Dec. 30, 1922. He is part of what has come to be known as the “Greatest Generation.” That is the generation that grew up during the Great Depression, fought in World War II, and contributed to the war effort on the home front as well. He grew up on a farm in a tiny rural town called Batchtown, in southern Illinois. He left his mother, father, and nine brothers and sisters to go fight for his country. He enlisted in the Army in January 1943. After basic training and parachute jump school training, he became part of the 462nd Parachute Field Artillery. He knew he would be heading into combat, and there was a strong chance that he would not return. He sent letters to his family and friends back home, then he was off by steamer to Brisbane, Australia. From Brisbane he would be going into heavy fighting against the Japanese on the Island of Corregidor. Corregidor was surrendered to the Japanese in 1942 after months of brutal fighting and the 11,000 American and Filipino soldiers who had defended the island were tortured, beaten, and marched to death in the infamous Bataan Death March. Those who miraculously survived were sent to slave labor camps where they were worked to death, killed, or if lucky, had escaped. General MacArthur made it his personal, moral responsibility

to retake Corregidor, and Oliver was part of that mission. The 462nd unit was supposed to parachute onto the island. It was a dangerous mission because the landing area was small, and because they would be jumping into enemy machine gun and mortar fire. As Oliver was standing in the doorway to jump, antiaircraft fire tore holes in the wing and the fuselage, barely missing him. They had to abort the jump and opted for an amphibious landing on the beaches. There would be three landing crafts with several hundred soldiers each. This type of landing attempt was dangerous, as well, because the Japanese had the vantage point and would be able to shoot the Americans like sitting ducks. Oliver was on the second landing craft and he watched as the first landing craft was ripped to shreds by Japanese machine gun and mortar fire. The second craft landed without a shot being fired because the enemy was reloading, the third craft was blown to bits by the enemy. Oliver was in the thick of battle, the task of killing the enemy and retaking the island was made almost impossible due to intricate tunnels that were dug under the island, making it hard to know where the Japanese were or how to get them. For nine grueling days and nights he fought the Japanese on the island. He saw many of his friends killed,

H.R. 1732, dubbed the Regulatory Integrity Protection Act of 2015, passed the House May 12 by a vote of 261155, with 16 members not voting, and has since been received in the Senate. If enacted, H.R. 1732 will force the EPA and Corps to withdraw the rule

Small class

(Continued from A1) “The good thing about having such a small class is the personal attention they received,” Superintendent Mark Martin said. “The bad thing is that you want your attendance to be up. It’s a negative thing in that way, but the educational opportunity is great.” The students took great pride in that educational opportunity and credited the attention and small class sizes to their academic success. One of their favorite memories was a class they all shared senior year with Miss Friedel, who also thought highly of the graduates and their intelligence. “When I first started teaching here last year, I realized the junior class then was only three kids. I thought ‘Oh my, gosh. What am I going to do with only three kids? That means no discussion or anything like that,’” Friedel said. “But once I had them it has been wonderful. They are more advanced than a lot of other classes because there are only three of them.

wounded, or disappear in the night. The aerial bombing of the island was having little effect because the enemy was deep in the tunnels. The only way to end this battle was to take the tunnels. The Americans began blowing up the main entrances to the tunnels and blocking the enemy from going in or out. Oliver was situated on a critical rock hill known as Monkey Point. He along with several hundred from the 462nd and 503rd were ordered to protect the hill and not let the enemy leave or gain access. This hill was strategically important because the main tunnel ran underneath. Oliver was in a ground swell with his friend Frank Dickert. Dickert had received mail from his wife several days before, and he hold Oliver, “my wife has been saving money and buying whiskey, and when I get home she is planning a big party.” Oliver jokingly replied, “You’re gonna get your ass blown off and I’m gonna go drink all that whiskey.” No sooner had the words left his mouth, the Japanese intentionally blew up their own tunnel under Monkey Point and Dickert’s head was crushed by a boulder. Oliver was hit by rock and burning phosphorous. He had internal and external injuries, and of the few hundred men on that hill he and two others were the only ones to be able to walk off. He

and develop a new one in consultation with the states and with public and private stakeholders. A bill introduced April 30 in the Senate, S. 1140, would force the agencies to revise the new rule under guidelines outlining the limits of federal jurisdiction and more explicitly recognizing the role of states in water quality protection. Neither Sen. Richard Durbin nor Sen. Mark Kirk are listed as cosponsors of S. 1140. U.S. Rep. Rodney Davis, whose Illinois 13th Congressional District includes the counties of Calhoun, Greene, and Jersey, cosponsored H.R. 1732 and has said he would continue pushing the agencies to withdraw the new rule. “This is yet another example of the EPA ignoring the concerns of our farmers and failing to understand the real-life impact of their rules and regulations,” Davis said. “The finalization of this rule further highlights the need, and urgency, for creating an agriculture subcommittee on the EPA Science Advisory Board to give agriculture a

He received the Purple Heart and the Presidential Unit Citation for extraordinary heroism in action against an armed enemy. After hearing my grandfather’s story, I felt many different emotions. I felt fear as I thought of what it must have been like in that hellish place. What would it be like to see your best friend die only feet from where you are standing? You would feel lucky that ylu survived but in the back of your mind you would wish you could give your life so that he could return home to his wife. I felt hatred for the Japanese for what they did to American soldiers. Cannibalism, kamikazes, torture, killing their own men to seal off a tunnel. It makes them seem like inhuman beasts. But, I felt one thing more than any other. I felt a strong and overwhelming sense of pride. I thought to myself, “My grandfather went into war and put his life on the line to save his family, friends, and his country.” I am so proud of the extraordinary man that he is and I am glad to be able to call myself his grandson.

stronger voice in the regulatory process.” Such a subcommittee is now being established, thanks to an amendment to the 2014 Farm Bill Davis authored, he added. In contrast to the Farm Bureau and Chamber of Commerce, the Center for Rural Affairs has come out in support of the finalized rule. Headquartered in Lyons, Neb., the organization describes itself as “a private, non-profit organization working to strengthen small businesses, family farms and ranches, and rural communities through action oriented programs addressing social, economic, and environmental issues.” “The revised rule is grounded in both law and science. Nearly one in three Americans get drinking water from streams that lacked clear protection before the Clean Water Rule,” John Crabtree, Center for Rural Affairs media director, said in a May 27 written statement. “Clean water is an economic driver for manufacturing, farming, ranching, tourism, recreation, and energy production.”

THANK YOU

I would personally like to thank all those who helped in any way with our mock disaster that was held at Calhoun High School May 11. To all our volunteers who came out to show our youth the results of drinking/ texting and driving and the impact of the outcome to all involved. Thanks to Calhoun EMS, Calhoun Fire Depts., Coroner Phil Gress, Sheriff Bill Heffington, Air-Evac, Leon Snyders, Adam Herter with A-1 Towing, MAW Salvage for donating the cars. Also to Mike Hutchens from Jersey EMS for putting “realistic” crash make-up on our students. Coordinating this is a small part that would not be possible without all of these wonderful people volunteering their time and skills to work to help and teach the students in our community. A big thank you also to Lori Mortland discussing with the students first hand how loss from such an incident can impact a family in a way that can never be taken back. Thank you to our student/victims, Trevor Bick, Morgan Baalman, Rebecca Oswald, Ali Baalman, Austin Laing, Gabby Workman, for playing their parts. As the students were all told that day, the simple little acts that you think can never have an impact on you can be a mistake that CAN happen to you. Have a safe summer and lets be examples for our children and remind them the dangers and safety concerns on our roads daily. THANK YOU AGAIN, LISA DOLAN, RN CALHOUN UNIT 40 SCHOOL NURSE

He won in a landslide as he was the only senior on the team. While the three original students in the class will attend separate classes for the first time since kindergarten, the friendship won’t end. “I think we’ll stay close,” Ohlendorf said. “I want to … I think we’ll be able to stay pretty close.” The three boys; Ohlendorf, Jenkins and Wilson; will attend Lewis and Clark Community College. Ohlendorf will then transfer to Missouri Baptist University to study sports management. Eberlin will attend Southern Illinois University-Edwardsville and major in business.

They’ve had so much more one on one and hands-on activities. It’s been a surprise for the better.” Each of the students is highly intelligent, Friedel added. One of the biggest concerns of any high school student falls outside of the classroom, however, and it was only exacerbated by the small class size. How do you choose prom court? The dilemma had an easy solution for this class. “We all just ran … That kind of evened that out,” Ohlendorf said. While Eberlin, Kuhn and Ohlendorf have been together the longest, the other two students fit in well, they said. Ohlendorf and Wilson became friends in eighth grade and picked that friendship back up when Wilson returned for his senior year.

Surviving are her three sons and daughters-in-law, John and Connie Goetten, Thomas and Nancy Goetten, and Timothy and Diana Goetten, all of Jerseyville; five grandchildren and their spouses, Chad and Lynn Goetten of Fieldon, Tiffany and Matt Williams of St. Charles, Mo., Christopher Goetten of Godfrey, Alex Goetten and his fiancee, Megan Coyle of St. Louis, Mo., and Andrew Goetten of Chicago; six great-grandchildren; a brother and a sister-in-law, John and Mary Ann Pohlman of Jerseyville; and two sisters-in-law, Joan Pohlman of Carrollton and Charlene Pohlman of Granite City.

The term "selfie," used to describe a picture one has taken of oneself, usually with one's cell phone camera, is loaded with insinuations of narcissistic self-centeredness, and perhaps with good reason. The vast majority of the pictures taken throughout the entire history of the world have reportedly been taken in just the last few years, with the advent of the digital camera and its ubiquitous cousin the cell phone camera. There are now small video cameras that mount just about anywhere and enable their users to get footage of just about anything, from skiing down an alpine slope to deep-sea diving, which has added to our ability to document our lives. But what is the point of all of this documentation? Are our friends and families that interested in looking at all of these pictures and videos of us or are they for our own viewing pleasure? Or do they really just serve to certify that we were actually at the concert or visited the Eiffel tower? It's nice that we can so easily share pictures and videos, but we run the risk of missing the experience in question if we are only interested in getting the great picture or video, and perhaps more perilous still is the prospect that a self-absorbed generation and culture will become even more so. We would all do well to remember that many experiences are best experienced by just being there and don't need to be photographed or recorded.

Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, not looking to your own interests but each of you to interests of the others.

In Memory of Urban H. Kiel 6/6/17 – 6/9/08 God looked around his garden, And found an empty place, Then looked upon the earth, And saw your tired face. He put His arms around you, And lifted you to rest, God’s garden must be beautiful, He always takes the best.

Greatly missed by his children Donald, William, Elizabeth, Vanita, Janet, Jerry, Dennis and families. Also the families of his deceased children Marilyn and Joe.

Thank You

Thank you for the cards, letters and gifts for my 87th birthday. God bless you! Helen Friedel

Did you know?

Aerie’s Terrace provides popular wedding services By BOB CROSSEN Calhoun News-Herald June may be a prime month for many brides, but Aerie’s Terrace in Grafton has found weddings don’t slow down throughout the year. Since opening last fall, Aerie’s Terrace in Grafton has nearly filled out the remainder of 2015 in weddings, Kelly Stiller, Aerie’s event coordinator, said. “Things are going fantastically. We are really hopping. Business is picking up. We are just about booked for 2015 and working on our 2016 season right now,” Stiller said. Just this year there are 45 more weddings booked for the Grafton reception hall,

and it is the venue’s view of the confluence of the Illinois and Mississippi Rivers that draws brides to the banquet hall atop the bluffs in Grafton. “Our biggest selling point is our view, of course. Anybody who’s familiar with Aerie’s, who’s been up here, knows the great view of the confluence of the Mississippi and Illinois Rivers,” Stiller said. But the services for brides, she said, extend beyond the average wedding reception hall’s offerings. The hall houses 24 hotel rooms for the wedding party to stay in, and if more are needed, the remaining Aerie’s rooms are also available. Having that many overnight options available is advantageous given the recep-

tion hall can house 300 people indoors and another 300 on its balcony overlooking the river and Grafton’s bluffs. Catering services are not offered at the reception hall, she said, noting brides prefer to choose their own caterer who may use the hall’s facilities to make the meals for guests in Grafton. “That’s the thing that brides really like. They can choose the food that they want from the place that they like through outside vendors,” Stiller said. Although popular since opening its doors, Stiller said Aerie’s Terrace accepts additional wedding parties and receptions. To schedule an event, contact 618-786-8439 or visit aeriesview.com

Modern trends in wedding videography Few people want to sit through their entire wedding day frameby-frame. Montages of key elements of the day are much more popular than a chronological unfolding of the ceremony and reception. Some videographers like to show snippets of what's to come at the start of the wedding video, then go into more extensive segments later on. n Film chapters: Dividing segments of the video into different chapters allows viewers to fast forward to the parts they want to see and pass those they can skip. This saves the hassle of having to watch the video in its entirety.

n Cinematic styling: Instead of a stationary camera on a tripod, this method of filming incorporates different angles and close-up shots to give the video a modern feel. It's shot more like a movie than a documentary, allowing viewers to feel as though they're really experiencing the event. n Same-day editing: Want to revisit the ceremony at your wedding reception? Some videographers will edit portions of the ceremony and preparations for the big day in the time between the ceremony and reception. This gives all guests, including those who may not have been able to

make the ceremony, the chance to view the nuptials. n Unobtrusive technology: This trend relates to the equipment used to capture wedding memories rather than the actual finished product. No one wants their view of the ceremony or reception to be marred by a big, bulky camera. Smaller video cameras enable videographers to seamlessly blend in and perhaps capture shots that larger cameras could not. Preserving wedding memories takes on new meaning when couples explore the growing trends in wedding videos.

According to the 2014 Real Weddings Survey from popular wedding website TheKnot.com, June was the most popular month to get married in 2014, when 15 percent of the nearly 16,000 brides and grooms surveyed tied the knot in what many people consider the most pleasant weather month of the year. Fourteen percent chose to tie the knot in October, another month with a reputation for agreeable weather. Those who chose to tie the knot in the New York/Tri-state area paid the most to make

their unions official, as five of the six most expensive areas to get married in the United States in 2014 were within that region. The most expensive locale to say "I do" was Manhattan, where couples spent an average of $76,238 on their weddings. Long Island was next up but still cost considerably less, with couples spending an average of $55,237. Chicago was the only locale outside of the New York/ Tri-state area to crack the top five, coming in fifth by costing couples an average of just under $51,000.

A couple's wedding day is often a whirlwind for the brideand groom-to-be. Happy couples hope to remember every little detail, but that can be difficult when so much is going on. That is why many brides and grooms hire videographers to preserve the memories of their weddings. Couples who fail to capture their ceremony and reception on film may feel like they missed out once their big day has come and gone. As a result, a professional videographer can be a wise investment. The following are some wedding video trends popular among today's couples. · Brief clips and highlights:

the Calhoun softball team celebrates its sectional championship. the Lady Warriors were scheduled to play Cumberland tuesday in the Class 1a quarterfinals.

No-hitter lifts Calhoun into quarterfinals By Kory Carpenter Calhoun News-Herald Rain pushed Griggsville-Perry’s sectional championship game against Calhoun back two days, but the weather could not effect Grace Baalman’s arm. Baalman spun a no-hitter and struck out 13 to lead the Lady Warriors to the sectional championship after beating the Lady Tornadoes 16-0 at Mt. Sterling. Calhoun scored two runs in the top of the first inning, and the game would remain that way until the flood gates opened in the fifth, as five more Calhoun runners crossed the plate. The fifth-inning onslaught was more

than Baalman needed. Kassidy Klocke led both teams with three RBIs. Griggsville-Perry’s Hannah Dewitt pitched four innings to start the game, striking out seven, and Jordan Brite relieved her in the fifth inning. Griggsville-Perry finished the season 27-8. Calhoun improved to 31-4 heading into Wednesday’s Class 1A quarterfinal matchup with Cumberland in Springfield. The winner of Wednesday’s game will play in the state semifinals Friday in Peoria, and the third-place and championship games will be held at 10 a.m. and 12:30 p.m. Saturday.

Unit 40 student offers summer piano lessons at high school By Mark Pace Calhoun News-Herald Calhoun Community Unit School District 40 is offering summer piano lessons for the first time. The lessons will be held on Tuesdays and Thursdays starting the first week of June and will continue through the summer. So far, about 10 kids have signed up for the lessons, and Carly Vazis, who is teaching the lessons, expects that number to grow, before lessons begin, due to advertisements and increased publicity. Vazis will be a senior at the school and is teaching lessons like this for the first time. She taught a lesson for the first time last summer when she helped one young girl. She enjoyed her summer teaching experience and decided to do it on a bigger scale. “I really enjoy piano, and [wanted to teach these lessons] because I knew I was good at it. I knew I could have my own hours and could get some money, and I knew teaching lessons was a need [for the school],” Vazis said. The lessons cost $10 for a half hour session, and they will be held in the high school band room. While Vazis will be teaching the lessons, they weren’t her idea. Instead, Cara Rojas, Vazis’s piano teacher and Unit-40 band director asked her to do it.

“Carly is an excellent practicer and works hard every week,” Rojas said. “She’s a drum major in the band and is an excellent leader and has a great caring personality.” Vazis began playing piano in the fifth grade and found it as a place she could excel. She credits her piano lessons as the reason she discovered her love of music. While the piano lessons are being held at the school, Rojas considers it a summer job for Vazis, so Vazis will be able to keep her earnings. However, it is about more than just the money for both Rojas and Vazis. “I think [piano lessons are] important because they can help people discover a new talent … I wouldn’t have known my skill if i hadn’t started piano lessons,” Vazis said. While she has a talent and love for piano, Vazis also has a passion for helping others. She plans to attend a Christian college after high school and will major in social work. While she won’t be getting her degree in music, she will continue her musical career after high school by minoring in the subject and continuing to play piano. Rojas usually starts teaching children piano around the first grade and believed there was a lack of musical opportunity for students in the community. She saw this as a good opportunity to help with the problem while also allowing Vazis to demonstrate her leadership traits and love of music.

port the fund drive project of erecting monuments marking the Calhoun County Poor Farm graveyard. The County Poor Farm was located on 160 acres where the High School and Elementary/Junior High Schools are now located, along Route 100 and Poor Farm Hollow Rd. The farm was in existence from 1860 until the 1950s. The graveyard where some poor farm residents are buried is located on a wooded hillside across the creek from the new Elementary/Junior High building. These were persons who had little or no family to care for them during or after their lives, and forty seven known burials are listed in the 2011 Histori-

been located. The $1000 grant is being applied to the monument fund to erect one stone along the creek side across from the western entrance to the school and another on the hillside to be visible from the road to define the actual location of the graveyard. The purpose of this project is to preserve the site so it will never be desecrated in the future since there are no grave markers. The general public is not aware of this part of Calhoun County history, so this should be a point of interest to local residents and possibly some visitors. The Society is still seeking donations and they can be mailed to Calhoun County Historical Society, P.O. Box

46, Hardin, IL 62047. Please earmark for Poor Farm Memorial. Society president Emerson Retzer may be contacted at 618-535-4945 for additional information. The Society is grateful to the CCF for the grant to help

meet the goal of preserving local history and promote awareness of our past. Members of the Calhoun Community Foundation presenting a check to Emerson Retzer, president of the Historical Society, for the Poor Farm Memorial Project.

Marley Cazier concentrates on throwing the ball during the 2013 JPRD Itty Bitty T-Ball program, while the station leader, Shane DeSherlia, observes.

T-Ball for Toddlers with JPRD Watch your little one run the bases this summer with Jerseyville Parks and Recreation Department (JPRD). The department is offering a program for children 3 to 4 years old. Itty Bitty T-Ball is a noncompetitive skill development program that consists of small group rotations through skill stations. Stations include hitting, base running, catching, grounders and throwing. The program meets once per week for six weeks for 45 minutes. The session runs from Sunday, June 14 to July 26 on Diamond F at Dolan Park, located at the corner of June and Carpenter Street. There will be no session held on July 5. In the event of rain, the session will be pulled inside the Susnig Center. On the sixth and final week, participants

will be divided and scrimmage an entire game. There are four times to choose from: 4 p.m., 5 p.m., 6 p.m. and 7 p.m. The success of this program is dependent upon volunteer station leaders; therefore, parents/ guardians will be asked to be volunteers each week. Participants will need a glove, water bottle and non-marking soled sneakers. Program fee is $30 per child and includes a participation medal. The program is open to all city and non-city residents. Register soon because space is limited in each session and the deadline is Friday, June 5.
