Calhoun Commissioners OK Batchtown Road improvements

By MARk PACE Calhoun News-Herald The Calhoun County Board of Commissioners gave interim County Engineer Dave Marth the green light to move forward on the next step for an overhaul to Batchtown Road.

The commissioners are seeking funds from the Federal Highway Administration for an 80/20 percent split for funding of the project. FHWA will pay for 80 percent of the project, leaving Calhoun County taxpayers to pay the other 20 percent. Marth will meet with FHWA representatives next Wednesday.

“The Federal Highway Administration is ready to move forward with whatever it costs to fix Batchtown [Road],” Marth said to the board during its Aug. 17 meeting. “It’s not a wait and see. [The money] is there and ready to go.”

The commissioners are still awaiting word from the federal government about grant money the county applied for following this year’s flood that left Batchtown Road damaged once again.

The road washes out during major

rainfall, leaving highway department personnel to patch it up. However, it is in need of a permanent overhaul to fix the problem rather than cover it up, the county commissioners said.

The commissioners are going to take the beginning part of the process slowly to see what will happen with the grant money, Chairman Doug Wilschetz said following the meeting. Wilschetz and Marth were both hopeful the project can still use grant money for the start of the project.

“It’s a little complicated, but it can be combined,” Marth said to the board.

If the county is awarded the grant, the goal is to use grant money for the first $600,000 of the project and then use FHWA money, 20 percent coming from local taxpayers, for the rest of the project. If the commissioners elected not to use FHA money, and the grant is awarded to Calhoun, anything above the maximum grant total of $600,000 would come from the local budget. If the commissioners elected not to use FHA money, and the grant was not awarded to Calhoun, the entire project would have fallen on the county’s taxpayers.

Marth said he is working to make the project as cheap as possible for the county, but said it will be “more expensive than you think.” “[Money] is tight, tight, very tight,” Wilschetz said about the county’s financial situation.

By using funds from FHWA, the county could pay up to $200,000, but that would be worst case scenario, Marth said. The total cost of the project is still unknown, but the highest guess from Marth was between $1 million and $1.2 million.

The commissioners emphasized they’d like to do the project correctly so residents do not have to worry about the road washing out when it rains.

“I agree that we have to fix it. Even if it does end up being $200,000 [for the county], it is what it is. It needs done,” Commissioner Phil Robeen said.

If Calhoun County receives the grant, the project will need to start quickly. Now that the county will use FHWA money, it will need to get construction for the project going by next year, Marth said.

While Marth left the decision entirely up to the board, they did ask for his

“My feeling is that to do it right, it’s going to cost more than you think.

To do it right so it’s not an issue again, the $600,000 might cover it all, but it might not.”

FHWA is covering 100 percent of the cost of repairs for 180 days because of the damage to the area from the flooding.

At the end of the meeting, the commissioners thanked Marth for all of his work. Marth serves as county engineer in Greene County and is working for Calhoun County in the same capacity on an interim basis until the commissioners find someone to fill the position.

The county is taking steps on choosing a new county engineer from four applicants.

“I do want to say thanks,” Wilschetz said. “You have been thrown into the fire here, and your work is appreciated.

You’ve done a good job.”

Commissioner Gene Breden also thanked Marth for his work.

“I really appreciate all of the explanation we get from you on the things that you’re doing,” he said. “We aren’t used to that and appreciate it.”

IDNR charges poachers in Calhoun

By MARk PACE Calhoun News-Herald Three separate cases of poaching in Calhoun County brought court action against individuals from outside the area after a multistate investigation resulted from online posts about the alleged crimes.

Weldon “Jesse” Bean of Bourbonnais, Michael Tomlanovich of Wood River and Joe Slye from Georgia were all charged in three separate wildlife cases in Calhoun County.

The investigations started near the end of the 2014 hunting season.

“All three investigations came about by officers comparing social media and website posts to IDNR permit and harvest data,” said Captain Jamie Maul, Region IV Commander for the IDNR Office of Law Enforcement.

A six-month investigation by multiple Illinois counties with aid from eight others states led to charges for Bean. Bean allegedly outfitted while wildlife privileges were revoked and without a license. Bean’s hunting privileges were revoked due to an arrest for the unlawful taking of white-tailed deer in 2011.

In a second case, Slye faces charges for the

unlawful taking of an antlered deer without an either-sex deer permit. Georgia officers assisted with the investigation.

The two cases were a joint effort between the Illinois Conservation Police and wildlife officers in several states.

“All three investigations came about by officers comparing social media and website posts to IDNR permit and harvest data.”

By MARk PACE Calhoun News-Herald The Calhoun Community Unit School District 40 Board of Education is looking at ways to cut extracurricular costs while continuing to provide students with transportation for athletic events.

The board addressed transportation to and from games during its Aug. 17 meeting after miscommunication

for a miscommunication between itself and coaches, she said. Board members are looking to cut costs without putting students and families at risk.

The $26,000 cost came while the district is facing financial trouble, but board members were not looking at completely cutting transportation, just a different way of paying the bill.

The board is considering several options and using this

“We’re going to have to go more toward self-funding.”

Kate Sievers Unit 40 Superintendent between the board and athletic programs left many to believe the school would completely cut bussing for athletes to events.

“Last year we spent about $26,000 on transportation … so what we’re trying to do is find a happy medium so parents aren’t having to drive to all the games, yet not leaving us to foot the entire bill,” Unit 40 Superintendent Kate Sievers said.

While the parents will be asked to take students to close games, such as those in Brussels or Carrollton, the goal is to continue providing transportation to games farther away.

Parents voiced concern at the beginning of the meeting about students driving themselves to games and the danger that would cause.

“Under no circumstance did we want the kids to drive,” board member Laura Longnecker said.

The board accepted blame

year as a pilot to see what works, Sievers said. A committee will be formed to look at possible solutions.

Solutions could see each team chipping in with the bill or result in the athletic program becoming completely self-funded.

“We’re going to have to go more toward self-funding,” Sievers said. “When I tell people we spent almost $30,000 on transportation costs, well, that’s almost a teacher’s salary.

There are concerns, and we want to be financially responsible. We’re trying to find common ground. Sports are important to our school and our community.”

The athletic programs are going to have to eventually become self-funded, but the board is not going to leave it “high and dry,” Sievers said.

The committee will review possible solutions and look for a plan save costs for the district without becoming a major burden for the teams.

Brussels breaks ground on Main Street construction

By MARk PACE Calhoun News-Herald Members of the Brussels Village Board, village clerk, treasurer and Sheppard, Morgan & Schwaab engineers took part in a groundbreaking ceremony Aug. 11 for the reconstruction of Main Street in Brussels.

Efforts by the village to improve the road date back about 15 years, SMS representative Dave Godar said.

Construction began Aug. 19. The road will remain closed until the project is finished this fall.

Detour signs route traffic on Poppe Lane, Ridge Road and Community Avenue.

IDOT approved the project last summer after the village and SMS designed the project with input from the public.

The new project will reconstruct the road from the cemetery south to the village boundary at County Highway 1. It will replace the oil and chip road with a concrete road which is more durable. It will also add a sidewalk on one side.

The project was awarded to RCS Construction Inc., based in Wood River. RCS’s bid was for $885,639.

The village received a $1 million grant for the project. The extra money will be used for other costs associated with the project.

Outdoor Truths: Gary Miller

Encouragement is a powerful tool One of the ways to get a great cycling workout without going a long distance is to ride to the pinnacle. That may sound like a motivational statement but in my area there is actually a place called the pinnacle.

It is within the boundaries of the Cumberland Gap National Historical Park. It is a place where thousands of visitors travel each year to see the spectacular view, hike its trails, and learn about its history. From the visitors center to the pinnacle is only about 3 ½ miles but the elevation gain is almost 3,000 feet. This one, big, long hill is a challenge to cyclists to say the least. It becomes even more difficult when her participants decide to repeat the trek multiple times. My personal best is three, but I can remember the first time I ever made it to the top. I thought I had won a medal in the Olympics.

At my age, speed is not a priority. Finishing is all that matters.

One of the most satisfying moments of these rides comes when, on occasion, some motorist yells their words of encouragement, sticks up their thumb in approval, or claps in appreciation as our paths cross. It never fails that no matter how difficult the past few pedals have been, no matter how much sweat is in my eyes, or how bad I want to get off and walk, I become renewed and strengthened to continue my uphill battle.

In those simple, slow, and silent moments, the voice of encouragement screams its value. It is palpable both mentally and physically.

It is my sincere and genuine belief that this ought to be the picture of what happens each time believers gather together on a Sunday morning. I believe it is the business of pastors

and parishioners to be people who are constantly showing our encouragement and appreciation for those who have been fighting the good fight of faith. Some of those individuals have had a tough week. They have endured difficulty for simply choosing to follow Christ. And just like my cycling trips, they do it because in the midst of its challenge, there is a love that keeps drawing them to its gratification.

I say, at our churches, we replace greeters with clappers and instead of shaking someone’s hand, we stand in applause for each one who comes through our doors in appreciation for the faithfeats they do each week. For those who are on the verge of quitting their resolve would be reinforced, and for those who feel as if they are pedaling the journey alone, their strength would be renewed.

Encouragement really is

Bill raises law enforcement standards

By BOB CROSSEN Calhoun News-Herald A public safety bill approved by Illinois Gov. Bruce Rauner last week provides for improvements in law enforcement through higher standards and awareness of public safety.

The bill outlined additional training requirements for officers, prohibited the use of chokeholds, and allowed for the establishment of body camera policies.

Training requirements, like in many professions, are regularly updated, and Carrollton Police Chief Mike McCartney said his department stays on top of the changes with the help of the West Central Illinois Criminal Justice Council.

WCICJC is a mobile team unit designed to train law enforcement officers in Greene, Calhoun, Jersey, Pike and Scott counties, among others. The organization provides all the coursework, lectures and training days for officers, he said.

“They put on classes,” McCartney said. “They go all over getting speakers and classes for us.”

According to the state legislation signed last week, additional training is focused on victims of sexual assault or similar crimes. Officers conducting interviews must be trained in identifying addiction, and in understanding sensitive interview techniques for speaking with victims of domestic violence or victims of sex crimes.

That training would be required every three years through a proper training authority. Additionally, officers will need to take training in use of force through scenario-based lessons on an annual basis.

Use of force by police has been a matter of national attention following the deaths of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Mo., last year and Eric Garner in New York in July 2014.

Poachers

(Continued from A1) this assistance, it would be more difficult for Illinois Conservation Police Officers to investigate cases such as these due to travel limitation once these non-resident hunters have returned to their home states.”

In another incident, Tomlanovich pleaded guilty to two misdemeanors. A 2014 investigation centered on Tomlanovich fraudulently applying for resident landowner deer permits for family members who were not hunt-

Video showed Garner being choked by a police officer, although there was no indictment. Chokeholds are prohibited under the Illinois law signed last week.

Jerseyville Police Chief Brad Blackorby said use of chokeholds has not been a concern for his department.

“You only do what you have to do in order to take control of the situation, and the least amount of force necessary is what we want to do in order to contain the situation,” Blackorby said.

“I know every officer here, including myself, would rather talk to somebody than have to wrestle or fight them. A chokehold is just bad.”

The Carrollton chief said officers regularly receive training on the use of force through WCICJC, adding officers in the Greene County seat are equipped with tasers in the event a situation gets too out-of-hand.

Similar to Blackorby, Calhoun County Sheriff Bill Heffington said his officers prefer to handle engagements with the public through words, rather than physical force.

“We don’t deal with that kind of stuff.

Our officers are real good. They’re all pretty talkative,” Heffington said, noting the only physical restraint needed is generally in putting on handcuffs.

Refusing to use physical force also protects law enforcement officers from retaliation. And in terms of officer protection, Heffington said body cameras are an excellent option, albeit too costly for his department at this time.

For the Calhoun sheriff’s rural jurisdiction, he said the money spent on cameras could be better spent policing the county and ensuring the safety of the public.

Through his research, McCarney said the cameras would cost nearly $400 per officer, adding they could be invaluable in providing evidence in some cases.

Rather than an officer and an alleged violator testifying with some-

ers. The case led to the seizure of 21 white-tailed bucks from Tomlanovich and his hunting associate, David Cox of Roxana.

Tomlanovich’s total fines and court costs were $7,232. Cox’s case is still pending.

Poaching cases are not the norm in Calhoun County, but they are not uncommon, Maul said.

Nearly 30 hunting citations were issued in Calhoun County during the 20142015 hunting season compared to nearly 2,100 citations statewide.

times competing narratives in court, video with audio could be produced to prove exactly what transpired.

“That takes the question out,” McCartney said. “Everything we deal with, we do audio video interviews.

That way they can’t say they said something, and they can’t say I said they said something. There’s no doubt then because you’re on video talking.

That’s a great thing.”

Blackorby said he is in favor of adopting such cameras, but is not sure when they would be adopted, nor has he prepared a policy for their implementation and use.

“Eventually, we will probably go that direction just like most law enforcement [agencies],” Blackorby said. “I think it is good for police to have a camera on them. I definitely think in the future you’ll see it here along with probably every place. [As far as] a time frame, I don’t know yet.”

He said the cameras could also be used for training purposes to improve how officers handle traffic stops or response calls. Reviewing the tape, he said, could improve local policing.

While implementing body cameras is a favorable proposal for local departments, there are still some caveats to releasing footage to the public.

According to the public safety bill, data from the cameras may not be copied or examined without authorization.

The footage would also not be subject to the Open Meetings Act, meaning members of the public or media may not receive the footage in response to a Freedom of Information request.

Other items in the bill allow members of the public to film police officers in public places where there is no expectation or privacy, requires cards be filled out for both traffic and pedestrian stops, and requires a quarterly report on forensic evidence submitted to the state.

treatment. The exercise, which was intended to test the preparedness and vulnerabilities of local health departments in the event of a disaster, was especially interesting, because it involved two states, Missouri and Illinois, working together.

As was pointed out during the planning sessions, id an actual disaster were to occur in Calhoun, and resources were required from other areas, it would probably be the St. Louis region, not the Chicago area that would first be responding to our requests for help. For this reason, it is important for planners in Missouri and Illinois to reach across borders and learn the procedures of their neighboring state.

CCHD participates in EMT-Basic ‘Rabbit Fever 2015’ Course On July 29, St Louis County Health Department hosted a Point of Dispensing (POD) bio-terrorism response exercise, titled “Rabbit Fever 2015,” at the Ritenour High School in St. Louis, Mo. This exercise involved volunteers’ simulated exposure to Tularemia, a disease spread by rabbits. The Calhoun County Health Department was heavily involved in the planning effort for this fullscale exercise event. Several CCHD staff member, along with volunteers from both Missouri and Illinois, played the roles of citizens affected by the disease, while other staff members dispensed mock medications for treatment. The exercise, which

was intended to test the preparedness and vulnerabilities of local health departments in the event of a disaster, was especially interesting, because it involved two states, Missouri and Illinois, working together. As was pointed out during the planning sessions, id an actual disaster were to occur in Calhoun, and resources were required from other areas, it would probably be the St. Louis region, not the Chicago area that would first be responding to our requests for help. For this reason, it is important for planners in Missouri and Illinois to reach across borders and learn the procedures of their neighboring state.

to start soon EMT basic course will start Sept. 21, and will meet on Mondays & Thursday nights from 6:30 – 9:30 p.m. at the Ambulance Station in Hardin. The cost is $127 due when class starts.

Must be 18 years old, High School diploma or GED, No Felony, current CPR card for Healthcare Provider.

Illinois Farm Bureau supports Independent Map Amendment The Illinois Farm Bureau (IFB) has announced its support of the Independent Map Amendment coalition, a group seeking an Illinois constitutional amendment to change the way state legislative districts are drawn.

“This is a great opportunity for the voters of Illinois to put on the ballot an option for change,” said David Erickson, vice president, IFB. “Illinois Farm Bureau members have long sought to bring an independent process to the way our state legislative districts are drawn and this proposal is a balanced approach.”

IFB will work with the coalition to reach the goal of gathering 600,000 signatures of registered voters

by April 2016. The Illinois Constitution requires that any petition seeking to amend the Legislative Article of the Illinois Constitution gather at least 290,216 valid, registered voter signatures.

“We are delighted the Illinois Farm Bureau has joined the fight for fairness in the redistricting process,” said Dennis FitzSimons, Chair of Independent Maps. “Illinois farm families want a fair shake in Springfield and understand that the current way state legislative districts are drawn makes that more difficult. Last November, only one candidate was on the ballot in 60 percent of legislative elections. Voters deserve better: Elections with choices, where issues

are debated and candidates listen to their constituents.”

The proposed constitutional amendment would create an 11-member independent redistricting commission to draw legislative districts for General Assembly members.

The commissioners would be selected at the same time of each federal decennial census, with the first commission appointed in 2021.

New districts drawn by the commission would be contiguous and substantially equal in population and would comply with federal law. All of the commission’s meetings

and records would be open to the public. After a majority of commission members approve a plan, the new districts would be established.

“We are very excited to support the Independent Map Amendment coalition,” Erickson said. “We believe a change in the way maps are drawn will benefit not only our members, but every voter in the state, which is why we will be encouraging Farm Bureau members to sign the petition and then circulate the petitions amongst their families, friends, and communities.”

■ Kampsville News

by Millie Schumann ■ 618-653-4426

The Schumann house is awfully neat and quiet.

Redeye took Xander to meet Rusty and Sonya and they took him on home.

Rusty and Sonya had brought Ross to college sorry I can’t remember where college is located. Rusty and Sonya are now suffering with empty nest syndrome.

Xander’s Mother will probably want to kill us. When he spent the night with us, we just let him run.

Couple nights he went to bed as Grandpa was going to work. I never knew where I would find him. One night he curled up under the computer desk, one night, he had a blanket and slept on the floor by Grandpa.

Grandkids are such a joy, and they can be very so helpful or they can be very deaf. After calling them for longer than it took to do the jobs yourself. I won’t get to see him again until next spring, but hopefully we may find a way to get him here.

Sunday, Bev and Beck stopped by to wish me happy birthday. I have already informed the family that I want a bang-up party next year. Since I will be, 80 you better have, the ambulance, sheriff, paramedics, and whomever else you might have handy.

If any of you are going

through Kampsville and see Redeye slumped over the steering wheel, please stop and check to see if he is breathing. All last week he was working on the streets getting ready for final spreading. Since Devin left us to join the gainfully employed, Redeye has no help. I am hoping I can work part time.

No decision on whether Kampsville Inn will or won’t open. If it doesn’t, the Village will be in a world of hurt. We will have only one business that brings in any revenue. Maybe some of the complainers who run their mouths about how the Mayor isn’t running the Town right can come up with some wonderful ideas. None of you complainers have a clue what my Husband has to do seven day a week, 24 hours a day. When I was in the hospital, he could not come and see me, someone had to be here to put band aids on their boo boos. Heaven forbid the Mayor leaves his high paying job, and goes to see his wife that the doctors didn’t think would make it. I truly cannot believe any husband would do this.

Since I worked with my husband, and knew how much he had to do, I didn’t do much complaining.

I cannot begin to tell what I went through the

time I was in the hospital. The first thing was the night I thought I was at home and they would not let me get up. I gave those nurses hell on earth.

Second thing was I tried to leave. In my mind, I was being held in the hospital, I was being held in a big room. That was scary in itself, but when one of the nurses turned out to be one of the people that was holding me so I couldn’t get away now that was almost more than I could handle. As it turned out, he was my favorite nurse.

He seemed to know when I needed something. He had been a nurse there long enough to retire in two years. After what seemed like forever, I was entered into Rehab.

I was there a month. I spent a month of nights there, and they arranged my therapy treatments so someone could take me home for the day. I spent the nights walking the halls until I could sleep.

All in all I had wonderful care.

My cancer is acting up, but hopefully, it won’t get too much out of control. I take pill four times a day, which helps, but it is still painful.

Well that is how I survived. Thanks to all have prayed for me, called, sent cards.

God Bless.

Hard to believe it is “back to school time” already. Seems the summer has gone by much too quickly. And now with the Village of Brussels road construction underway everyone is detouring around the project. It certainly needs improvement so will be great when it is completed. The work is taking place on the road from St. Mary’s Cemetery south to the village boundary at County Highway 1. It will replace the oil and chip road with concrete, which is much more durable. There will also be sidewalks added on the one side. With the reconstruction of the hill near Wittmond Hotel, it will give drivers a better vantage point when traveling through town. A groundbreaking ceremony was held last Tuesday.

On Thursday, Aug.13, Jean (Mossman) Rowling of Grafton visited her sister Doris Tepen. At noon she treated her to lunch at Kinder’s Restaurant in Golden Eagle.

Sounds like the gals had a great day together. More more “happy ones” Doris.

On Saturday I drove to O’Fallon, Mo. to enjoy a belated birthday lunch with my daughter, Shelly Scherer. Also present were her husband Dennis, sister Cyndi Axford and nieces Madison and Mackenzie.

We had an wonderful day together and I remained overnight and returned home on Sunday morning.

On her natal day, Aug. 13, she enjoyed lunch with her brother John Carnes (who was in the area visiting a client) and sister Cyndi Axford, Madison and Mackenzie at Max and Erma’s in St. Peters. That evening she and Dennis joined Tommy and Ashley Keppler and Noah at the

Wentzville Sports Complex.

There they watched Noah at his final soccer scrimmage and afterwards they, along with Brittney Kirn, enjoyed birthday dinner at the Six North Restaurant in Wentzville. Then on Saturday evening her hubby treated her to dinner and the movie “Trainwreck” afterwards. That is a lot of celebrating during birthday week, but very happy for you. Many more “happy ones” Shelly!

St. Mary’s Westwoods Church held their picnic the past weekend. Many from the area attended and especially enjoyed the delicious dinner on Sunday.

Don’t forget this coming weekend is the Michael Picnic, beginning at 5 p.m. on Saturday and their family style dinner on Sunday.

Lots of good food and entertainment for all ages.

Last Monday, the Lutheran Child and Family Services Board held their quarterly meeting.

In attendance were Dianne Stelbrink, Jennifer White, Vera Droege, Keith Dirks, Marcy Klockenkemper, Linda Hoffman, Al Parker, Alice Snyders, Linda Eberlin and myself. Our present goal is to obtain funds to continue upkeep and expenses on the van that picks up food, paper products, etc. each week for the pantry. We hope to involve different organizations such as schools, fire departments, villages, etc. Volunteers are always needed and appreciated to work one day a week (Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday). Many thanks to the Winneberg Club in Golden Eagle, who on a quarterly basis, seek donations of whatever is needed at that time, from their residents for the LCFS Pantry.

This is very much appreciated by all of us.

I am happy to report that my sister-in-law, Anita Kamp, has finished her rehab at Mercy Health Center and is spending the week with her daughter and son-in-law Tammy and Gary Kronable in Grafton.

She will be returning home to her husband John “Bill” in the very near future. So glad to hear all is going well. Anita suffered a broken hip and wrist during a fall at her home several weeks ago.

Deepest sympathy to the family of Kevin Heffington who passed away on Friday. To his father Mel Heffington and wife Sara, brother Mark Heffington and family and all other family members. You are all in my thoughts and prayers. At his request he is being cremated and a private memorial service and burial at a later date.

Birthday greetings this week to Marissa Kuhn, Tracy Caselton, Cliff Jacobs, Hannah Carey, Kannon Kamp, Denise Howard, Donna Hurley, Albert Jenkins, Bob Pohlman, Carol (Stepanek) Drainer, Barb Toppmeyer, Shirley (Nolte) Kennedy and all others celebrating their natal day at this time.

Happy 50 th Anniversary to Ralph and Erna Halemeyer of Bethalto, also anniversary wishes to Jack and Joann Kirn, Greg and Debbie Halemeyer and all other couples celebrating a wedding anniversary at this time.

Get well wishes to Rev. Jason Reed, pastor of St. Matthew’s in Brussels, St. Paul’s in Hardin and St. John’s in Kampsville, who is currently a patient at Alton Memorial Hospital.

Keep him in your prayers for a speedy and complete recovery.

Hardin, Illinois

■ Blessings from Belleview

by Chris Thomas ■ 217-734-9012

What a fantastic weekend at BCC. We started Saturday with our children’s ministry in the Vin Fiz parade in Nebo.

We love letting people see the joy of our children’s ministry.

Saturday, we had a fantastic turnout for our first of hopefully many community celebrations for the Belleview community.

Special thanks to Betty Wendt, lifelong Belleview resident for providing lots of information, pictures, and clippings of the history of northern Calhoun and Belleview. I had others that I had planned to see but was not able to get there due to a sickness that hit me. I lost my voice for three days. Some people learned what it takes to silence a preacher! I have several birthday shout outs to make up.

First we want to wish George and Melissa Neitzel a happy anniversary who celebrated on Aug. 8. Next, we wish Happy Birthday to Darrell Grammer Aug. 9, Brenda Smith Aug. 15, Jeanne Friedel Aug. 18, and David Osterman Aug. 21.

She is only five years old.

It was not a conversation that I expected to have with my daughter, especially not at that age. We had just returned from the Vin Fiz parade in Nebo. We had a busy day ahead of us. The

afternoon was being spent preparing for the Belleview community celebration that evening.

The five of us were tired from spending much of that morning in the hot sun. Her voice pierced the silence in the truck. “How do I get a man to love me?” A few months ago, I was in the emergency room with very high blood pressure. I think I reached those levels that day. My mind race through the many faces that rode our float, walked with us, or simply watched and waved as we passed by. Did she have a target in mind? Is it time for me to eliminate this target?

She’s only five; it is not time for that yet. I looked at her in the rearview mirror of the truck and I looked into the angelic beauty of my eldest of the twins. She caught me peeking at her then offered a smile. Water welled in the corner of my eyes. I calmly explained that it does not work that way.

Life never should work that way. So much energy is invested in trying to live up to the standards of someone else in an attempt to get them to like us that our true self is lost. Each one of us were uniquely made.

We are who we are. The unfortunate reality that I have learned in life is that not everyone will

like us. I have shared with you my disability with hearing loss.

Often times, my hearing disability seems to make me the easy target of someone else’s jokes. In school, it seemed like there was a daily constant barrage of ridicule hurled my way.

I woke up each day wondering what I would have to do to make someone like me. I am me. I was born with a hearing loss. I cannot change that. The likelihood of that improving in this world is slim to none. More than likely, it is none. But to change myself to make someone like me will only lead them to not like me but liking this person that I have become but is not who I am. People come in all sizes and color. They are who they are. Just like we are who we are.

My dear daughter….and readers. Love is a choice. People will always make the choice to determine whether they will love you or not. Whatever the case may be…make sure that they love you for you and not because you became someone to attract their love. The beauty is not in the mask we have made to be noticed by other, it is found in your YOU-niqueness. The way you have been wonderfully made.

Walk or Drive?

What Would Jesus Do?

Menus are subject to change

Week of August 24-28

“And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.” —Micah 6:8

Brussels schools

I

t is encouraging that fewer teenagers are learning how to drive, or are putting off learning until somewhat later, when their judgment is probably much better. Many cities and towns are making their streets safer and more convenient for walking, riding a bicycle or using public transportation. Perhaps in the future many of us won’t need to own a car to get around. If you are going to drive, you should do it well. Driving safely and cooperatively with the other people on the road says a lot about your character. I have often wondered if Jesus was around today whether he would drive a car, or perhaps ride a bike, or just stick to walking. The New Testament portrays Jesus as frequently walking, and scholars have estimated that Jesus may have walked over 20,000 miles in his 33 years on earth. The one instance where he rides (Matthew 21) has him riding on a colt (or perhaps a donkey) into Jerusalem—a pretty humble ride for the King of Kings. Perhaps Pope Francis is right in his choice of vehicles, a used 1984 Renault which was donated to the Vatican. No need to be driving anything too fancy. And regardless of what kind of car we drive, we should all follow the rules of the road and be extra cautious around motorcyclists, bicyclists, and pedestrians, all of whom are imperiled by careless drivers. So buckle up, keep your eyes on the road, your hands on the wheel, and your head out of your apps! – Christopher Simon

Contestants needed for fair talent show

Bob Crossen/Jersey County Journal

Jack Goode gasps for air as he pulls away from the rest of the pack during the swimming portion of the Jerseyville Junior Triathlon at Donor Pool in Jerseyville saturday.

The 7-year-old from Calhoun County has participated every year.

Participants strive for goals in JPRD Junior Triathlon

By BoB CRossen Calhoun News-Herald Some participants pumped fists in the air while others shed tears, but for parents of the racers in the Jerseyville Junior Triathlon, the event kept their children engaged.

The junior triathlon first started in August 2012 when it brought in 69 children from Jerseyville and surrounding counties, most notably Calhoun and Greene, along with some who came from out-of-state.

Angela Sullivan, Jerseyville Parks and Recreation director, aimed to get local children out of the house into a semi-competitive environment where they could feel empowered, and for Gwen Brunaugh, the event did just that for her son, Jaxon, and daughter, MaKenna.

“I think it is important for kids to test their bodies and not necessarily win something. … [MaKenna] is proud that she just did it,” Brunaugh said. “We’re very competitive people. We like team sports, but sometimes it is good to celebrate the individual.”

The race is structured into heats, so participants race against the clock rather than their neighboring competitors at the starting line. Brunaugh said such a structure encourages the children to push themselves, and for her

son Jaxon, who has attended every Jerseyville Junior Triathlon, it’s a way to gauge yearly improvement.

For Calhoun County’s Jack Goode, another yearly competitor, the event is less about the competition and more about his enjoyment of the activities.

“I like riding my bike down, like, a mile,” Jack said, noting he likes participating for the medal.

Jack’s mother, Angie Goode, said the triathlon gives her a way to encourage Jack go outside during the summer when many children plaster themselves in front of the television.

“It gives them something to strive for and work towards,” Goode said. “In the summer I can just say, ‘You’ve got to go outside and run for the triathlon’ or ‘You’ve got to get on your bike so you can be good at the triathlon,’ so it gives them something to look forward to.”

The event, she added, makes it easy on participants to enjoy the experience and reward the children for completing the course.

Every race participant receives a medal, regardless of their overall place, and are treated to snacks after crossing the finish line, where bleachers were stationed this year for rousing cheers at the conclusion of each partici-

pant’s trek.

Different age groups are tasked with overcoming different distances for each leg of the triathlon, but all racers receive some support from family members throughout the race.

After the swimming portion, for instance, parents help their children dry off and put on their helmets and riding gear for the bicycle portion. And those participants even came from out-of-state.

Tiffany Plassman, O’Fallon, Mo., used the triathlon to engage her daughter and her nieces in activities while visiting family in Jerseyville. This year was the first time her daughter participated, she added.

“Two thumbs up! I thought it was very well organized and executed. Everything was great. I’d definitely do it again,” Plassman said, noting her daughter favored the swimming portion the most.

That kind of enjoyment can encourage them to continue participation in the future, and in some cases empowered the youngsters Saturday morning.

For Brunaugh’s 5-year-old daughter, MaKenna, it motivated her to be her best.

“She said, ‘I can swim. I can bike. I can run. I can do anything!’” Brunaugh said.

“It’s fun for them to be excited about something.”

The Calhoun County Fair is seeking contestants for its annual talent show to be held Thurs., Sept. 10, at 7p.m. on the main stage. Residents from Calhoun, Pike, Greene, Jersey, and Madison counties are eligible to participate.

Money available from Calhoun County for local business expansion

By MaRk PaCe Calhoun News-Herald Revolving loans are available from the county to help businesses in the community.

The loans have been available since 1996, but county commissioners are making a strong push to loan the money to help encourage business expansion in the community.

The original agreement was reached between the county and Illinois Department of Commerce and Community for the administration of the Community Development Block Grant.

The program, now administered by the Illinois Departtment of Commerce and Economic Opportunity, was to provide low interest loans to companies within the county to promote economic development. All current loans are made at a rate of three percent. The county can loan up to 50 percent of a project.

“It’s there to promote and hire new people, and give new people jobs,” Commissioner Chair, Doug Wilschetz, said. “It’s also to help business owners.

That’s what it’s designed to do.”

The original loan was made to West Point Marine for $150,000. The principal of the loan was paid to Calhoun County to fund the revolving loan program, State’s

Attorney Richard J. Ringhausen said.

The county may not use the funds for any purpose other than the loans.

Along with helping businesses expand, the revolving loans aim to create jobs for lower income families. For every

“It’s there to promote and hire new people, and give new people jobs.”

Doug Wilschetz Commissioner Chair $15,000 loaned, the company receiving the loan must hire at least one lowincome employee, and at least 51 percent of jobs created or retained from the loan must meet Section 8 requirements.

Most of the loans have worked well for the county, others have not, but it’s a risk the commissioners are willing to take.

“I think it’s a good opportunity for the right business,” Wilschetz said. “If they’re planning on expanding, growing their business and have the intention of hiring more people, it’s a great opportunity for someone in the community.”

Grace Baalman delivers a pitch in last season’s Class 1a state championship game. Baalman committed to the University of Kentucky last weekend.

Baalman commits to Kentucky

By Kory Carpenter Calhoun News-Herald Calhoun junior Grace Baalman accepted a softball scholarship from the University of Kentucky last weekend, she confirmed to the Calhoun News-Herald Monday night.

As a sophomore, Baalman posted a 0.20 earned-run average and pitched 95 consecutive scoreless innings while leading the Warriors to a Class 1A state championship, adding 19 home

runs at the plate.

Baalman chose Kentucky over Michigan and Northwestern, among others.

Kentucky, which finished last season 32-26, advanced to the 2014 Women’s College World Series and will be looking to make it to the super regional for the fourth consecutive year next season.

Baalman wished to inform other schools of her decision before talking more about her commitment.

Enthusiasm up for Spurs and Feathers banquet Attendance was down but the enthusiasm was present for the Pikeland Spurs and Feathers annual fundraising banquet.

We had 72 folks that participated in the event, which is about 60 percent of our usual involvement. Competition from a variety of other activities in the area had a big impact on attendance. PASA Park had shooting program going on, the jeepers were in the County, a couple of weddings were being held and some folks were on vacation.

On the positive side of the scale, proceeds from the various games and the auction announced by Brian Curless was good. I am still in the tallying stage thus unable to give a measure of the overall monetary success of the program.

I also want to thank area businesses for their support of the program. Please note the contributors in a thank ad in this paper. I am sure other businesses would have supported the event as well but I just ran out of time in making contacts.

I am really pleased with the commitment of the committee that worked diligently on the program. We met numerous times over past several months putting the details of the project together. Several of the committee members are in the 20s to early 40s age bracket. They are the future of the program.

I told the audience my philosophy that

this program is an insurance policy for the future of the wild turkey. This is particularly true in light of the restricted budget allocated to the Illinois Department of Natural Resources.

Net proceeds from this event and similar events across the country are sent to the NWTF. They in turn reallocate a portion of the money back to the various states in what is referred to as a Super Fund. The State conservation departments then use these funds for species oriented projects.

A good example of this work is habitat clean up at Siloam State Park where IDNR crews are clearing out undergrowth brush from the forested areas. Dean Corgiat our local wildlife specialist shared with our banquet attendees details of this project.

Not only will wild turkey be attracted to the improved habitat but other wildlife species will benefit as well.

I have already mentioned the sightings of wild turkey hens with this year’s brood.

We are continuing to see some small flocks, which is a real positive sign that hatch results this spring were better than over the past couple of years.

In a few weeks the local committee will get together to do an appraisal of this years’ event and make a decision on a 2016 program.

Something for everyone...

GRAFTON WHAT'S HAPPENING AROUND

3rd Chute slides into Main Street

By BOB CROSSEN Calhoun News-Herald A new business located at 1505 West Main Street in Grafton has taken on a personality of its own after opening last Tuesday.

Tubular lights, mannequins and hunting trophies line the walls of 3rd Chute Bar and Grill in Grafton where Wayne Draper has opened his own restaurant.

Named in relation to one of the four chutes that empties into the Mississippi River, the third chute is affectionately called the party cove. And 3rd Chute Bar and Grill is prepared for fun times with options for live music, a projector screen and flat screen televisions.

Draper said he has a

hand in several business ventures but was most interested in opening a restaurant where he could spread his love for cooking.

“I’m the type of guy that jumps into everything; that’s got a helluva vision as you can see if you come down here. I cook … kettle chili at carnivals.

I cook all types of blueberry wings. I win a lot of contests on that aspect,” Draper said, adding he is a disk jockey and runs a construction company on the side. “[I’m] involved in just about anything and everything.”

3rd Chute sells those specialties in addition to more obscure items like frog legs. For the less adventurous customers,

CALHOUN NURSING & REHABILITATION NEWS News This past week has been very eventful! Geneva Breden, Norma Hillen, Sharon Pohlman, Gloria Becker, Kim Scisco and Ann Hoelscher all took a ride with me down river road and ended up in Grafton! Our trip was special on this day because we went to see a statue called “Wind River Esprit” located on the East entrance of Grafton on the Riverside of the road. Ann then told us the story of how this exquisite piece of art came into existence. This is Ann’s story.

“My husband, Orville Hoelscher, was a sculpture and our friends, Trudy and Ben Allen, asked him to make a statute. Orville and I were discussing this with the Allens and Orville asked them just what they had in mind and what the Allens’ wanted. They told my husband that they wanted the sculpture to be hand made from steel and life size.

Trudy and Ben asked Orville if he could do a vision at the age of 85!

Orville then laughed and said, what does that mean?

And they said, well, about the same size as your wife!

And we laughed so hard;

Seniors & Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP): SNAP has helped over 4 million seniors aged 60+. There are lots of myths about SNAP. Myth 1: SNAP is only for families with children. Fact: SNAP is for everyone who qualifies, including seniors. Myth 2: I’ll only get $15/month, so it’s not worth applying. Fact: The average national SNAP benefit for a senior living alone is $119/ month. Myth 3: Other people need SNAP more than I do.

Fact: By applying, you are not taking benefits away from others. Questions? Give us a call!

agriculture disaster request

By BOB CROSSEN Calhoun News-Herald Farmers may qualify for relief following United States Department of Agriculture approval of an agricultural disaster declaration last week, according to a press release from Illinois Gov. Bruce Rauner.

Rauner sent an official letter July 23 requesting a disaster declaration be made after months of record rainfall waterlogged Illinois counties, 87 of which were named for eligible assistance, including Jersey and Calhoun counties.

Mitch Zipprich, Farm Service Agency director for Calhoun and Jersey counties, said the approval is a positive step for the counties which have otherwise had slumping harvest seasons.

Farmland in both counties was flooded with nearly continuous rain raising river levels to nearly levee-breaching heights.

The amount of water took its toll most noticeably on wheat crops, the Jersey and Calhoun FSA director said.

“The yields were really high, which is good normally, but they had a lot of disease,” Zipprich said. “It was so wet that when the wheat needed to dry out to be cut, it just kept getting wet and kept getting wet … so whenever they started cutting the wheat out of the field, a lot of the elevators wouldn’t accept it.”

If the wheat was still good

enough for an elevator to accept, Zipprich said the price was “docked so heavily that it was almost not worth hauling,” especially when factoring in the cost of fuel to transport the crop.

While wheat suffered the most, the disaster report Zipprich prepared gave a much bigger picture as it included bean and corn crop damages along side the struggles of fruit growers, particularly orchard owners in Calhoun County.

Last year, peaches were at a premium after a harsh winter killed off much of the budding crop. With such a great amount of rain and water this year, peach trees were not as productive as the growers had hoped, Zipprich added.

“This wet weather just affected so much,” Zipprich said. “Calhoun’s been affected with the peach trees. We’ve had some peach tree loss because of the excessive rain. Peach trees don’t like it real, real wet, and now guys are having deaths of their trees.”

The FSA county director said some growers double cropped this year by planting beans right after the wheat, but said most will try to recoup losses next year. Whether farmers replant wheat after a dismal year with the crop is unclear, however.

“They’ll work that ground up, and I don’t know if they’ll put it back in wheat again, or if they’ll just wait to put it in corn and soybeans next year,”

Zipprich said.

While the declaration was granted by the USDA, there is still much to be done about how disasters are declared and much of that work is being fueled – in part – by U.S. Rep. Rodney Davis, R-Taylorville, whose district includes Jersey, Calhoun and Greene counties.

There is no better place than Jersey County, he said, to understand the impact of disasters. Because the Federal Emergency Management Agency bases disaster relief on population, sometimes the areas of Illinois that most need help don’t get it, he added.

Davis said legislation is in the works to reform how FEMA looks at disasters to better provide aid to communities that need it.

“It doesn’t take a geography wiz to know where most of our population is, and it doesn’t take a geography wiz to know where most of our disasters are,” Davis said of how FEMA uses statewide population when deciding disaster declarations.

“Our bill would actually make them, in their formula, take into consideration localized impacts, rather than just the population of the state.”

Davis said farmers should reach out to their local Farm Service Agency or USDA office to learn about eligibility for assistance relating to agricultural damages.

Zipprich can be reached by calling 618-498-6836 or 618576-2717.

Strategies to help kids focus on their schoolwork

or therapists are qualified to diagnose ADHD. Determining if a child has ADHD is a great first step toward helping that youngster overcome his or her struggles in the classroom. A qualified healthcare professional can help develop a strategy to improve focus, and that may include prescribing medication to improve the child's ability to concentrate. · Minimize distractions at home. Some kids may do well in class but find it hard to focus once they arrive home.

That's because home often

has far more distractions than the classroom. Once the time comes for your child to do his or her homework, minimize distractions that can compromise his or her ability to focus.

Turn off the television and take kids' phones away if they have their own phones. During homework time, only allow them to use their computers for their lessons and not to connect with friends via social media.

Parents also should make sure they aren't the distraction. Let kids do their work in peace and quiet, offering to help if

need be, but steering clear of kids work areas so they are encouraged to focus and not strike up conversations with mom or dad. · Encourage breaks. A breather every so often can help kids avoid growing tired.

Make sure kids don't take up another task, such as playing video games or watching television, during their breaks. But keep in mind that standing up every so often to walk around or get a glass of water can help them stay sharp and energized over the long haul.

Such difficulties may be linked to a variety of factors, and parents can be overwhelmed as they attempt to identify the root cause of their youngsters' struggles in the classroom.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, roughly 6.4 million American children between the ages of four and 17 have been diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, or ADHD.
