HARDIN - On Sept. 8, 2024, the Calhoun County Sheriff's Office responded to a burglary complaint near the intersection of Geske Hollow and Blue Ridge in Hardin. The investigation began promptly after the initial report, which led to further developments in the case.

The Sheriff's Office processed both crime scenes and continued an intensive investigation into the incidents. As a result of their efforts, an arrest warrant was issued on Sept. 27, 2024, for 43-year-old Charles “Joey” Mielke of Hardin.

RIVERBEND - The Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS) and Dream Home Charities are asking for the community’s help to make sure local foster kids have a merry Christmas. Sherry Gilleland, owner of Dream Home Realty Centre and founder of Dream Home Charities, provides Christmas gifts to 25 families and 85 foster kids across five local counties. But on Dec. 12, 2024, she was delivering gifts to DCFS when she discovered the tailgate of her truck was down, and she had lost hundreds of gifts along the road. Gilleland shared that donations were already low this year, and they struggled to get the toys, clothing, sanitary products and other gifts that families and kids asked for. She is devastated by the loss. Now, DCFS and Dream Home Charities are asking the community to do what they can to help out. “We couldn’t do what we do without the community and our family and our friends,” Gilleland said. “I’m very blessed that we do have our
