ased on the most recent update from the Calhoun Health Department, active positive cases of COVID-19 among residents in the county is in the double digits. As of an update Tuesday, Oct. 26, the health department was reporting seven new active cases of the virus bringing the total active number to 13. In total, 74 in the county have recovered. Calhoun remains one of only a handful of counties that has yet to report a death — along with nearby counties such as Scott and Brown county. At the same time, neighboring counties like Jersey, Greene and Pike counties are back at warning levels. The Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH) Friday reported a boom in counties at warning levels. According to the IDPH, 51 counties in Illinois are considered to be at a warning level for novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19). A county enters a warning level when two or more COVID-19 risk indicators that measure the amount of COVID19 increase. These 51 counties include Adams, Bond, Boone, Carroll, Cass, Christian, Clay, Clinton, Crawford, DeKalb, Douglas, Edwards, Fayette, Ford, Franklin, Gallatin, Greene, Hamilton, Henderson, Jersey, Jo Daviess, Johnson, Kane, Kendall, Knox, LaSalle, Lee, Macon, Macoupin, McDonough, McHenry, Mercer, Morgan, Moultrie, Ogle, Perry, Pike, Pulaski, Rock Island, Saline, Shelby, Stephenson, Union, Vermilion, Wabash, Warren, Wayne, Whiteside, Will, Williamson and Winnebago counties. Although the reasons for counties reaching a warning level vary, some of the common factors for an increase in cases and outbreaks are associated with gatherings in people’s homes, weddings and funerals, bars and clubs, university and college parties as well as college sports teams, family gatherings, long-term care facilities, correctional centers, schools and cases among the community at large, especially people in their 20s. IDPH uses numerous indicators when determining if a county is experiencing stable COVID-19 activity, or if there are warning signs of increased COVID-19 risk in the county. A county is considered at the warning level when at least two of the following metrics triggers a warning: Q New cases per 100,000 people — If there are more than 50 new cases per 100,000 people in the county, this triggers a warning. Q Number of deaths — This metric indicates a warning when the weekly number of deaths increases more than 20 percent for two consecutive weeks. Q Weekly test positivity — This metric indicates a warning when the 7-day test positivity rate rises above 8 percent. Q ICU availability — If there are fewer than 20 percent of intensive care units available in the region, this triggers a warning. Q Weekly emergency department visits — This metric indicates a warning when the weekly percent of COVID-19-like-illness emergency department visits increase by more than 20 percent for two consecutive weeks. Q Weekly hospital admissions — A warning is triggered when the weekly number of hospital admissions for COVID-19-like-illness increases by more than 20 percent for two consecutive weeks. Q Tests performed — This metric is used to provide context and indicate if more testing is needed in the county. Q Clusters — This metric looks at the percent of COVID-19 cases associated with clusters or outbreaks and is used to understand large increase in cases. In relation to the news regarding the warning level, Jersey County Health Department officials stressed the public to continue to follow the basic COVID-19 guidelines — wash your hands; wear your mask; watch your distance and avoid large crowds. The Greene County Health Department reported two more COVID19 related deaths in Greene. These deaths were related to the long-term care outbreak and bring the total deaths to 19 as of Oct. 24. Also, the health department reported four new active cases in the county — one from a long-term care facility and three community acquired. In total, there are 47 active cases in the county. According to the health department, 255 have recovered from the virus. In Jersey, there are 38 active cases. 415 have recovered, and 21 have died in relation to the virus. As of Friday, Oct. 23, Pike County Health Department officials confirmed eight new cases in the county and two deaths. There are 113 active cases in the county. In total, six deaths have been reported. (See, COVID, A6)

Study shows Calhoun ranks 47th in state for tax burden %\ JARAD JARMON Calhoun News-Herald According to one financial institution analyzing the tax burden of counties across the state and the country, Calhoun County ranks 47th among other counties in the state and has a rank of 2,648th across the nation. In its sixth annual study on the places with the lowest tax burdens, SmartAsset, a New York financial technology company, analyzed the income, sales, property and fuel taxes in each county. The places where residents had the lowest overall tax burden across those categories ranked the highest, a new release stated. Counties on the southeastern edge of the state covered the top ten spots in the ranking, outside of a neighboring county, Greene County that ranked No. 10. To find the places with the lowest tax burdens, SmartAsset calculated the amount of money a specific person would pay in income, sales, property and fuel taxes in each county in the country. To better compare income tax burdens across counties, they used the national median household income. They then applied relevant deductions and exemptions before calculating federal, state and local income taxes. Calhoun, like with the rest of the counties in the state, has a median income tax of $11,220. Illinois has a flat tax rate, which might change with the potential approval of a tax referendum that is on the ballot this year that would introduce a graduated tax system to the state. In order to determine sales tax burden, the financial tech company estimated that 35 percent of take-home (after-tax) pay is spent on taxable goods. They multiplied the average sales tax rate for a county by the household income after taxes. This balance is then multiplied by 35 percent to estimate the sales tax paid. According to the survey, sales tax in Calhoun averages at $1,202. For prop-

erty taxes, they compared the median property taxes paid in each county. In Calhoun, the median property taxes paid is $1,916. For fuel taxes, they first distributed statewide vehicle miles traveled to the county level using the number of vehicles in each county. They then calculated the total number of licensed drivers within each county. The countywide miles were then distributed amongst the licensed drivers in the county, which gave the miles driven per licensed driver. Using the nationwide average fuel economy, they calculated the average gallons of gas used per driver in each county and multiplied that by the fuel tax. In Calhoun, average fuel tax paid in the county is $170. From all of this data, they then added the dollar amount for income, sales, property and fuel taxes to calculate a total tax burden. Finally, each county was ranked and indexed, on a scale of zero to 100. The county with the lowest tax burden received a score of 100, and the remaining counties in the study were scored based on how closely their tax burden compares. Calhoun’s tax burden index is 59.22; Greene, 64.72; Jersey, 54.01 and Pike, 61.92, according to SmartAsset. The top ten counties in the state with the lowest tax burden are Alexander, Pulaski, Hardin, White, Pope, Gallatin, Lawerence, Edwards, Wayne and Greene. Across the scale, though, the tax burden is not the greatest by a long shot in Illinois in comparison to the rest of the country. For some perspective, Alexander County, with a tax burden index of 69.28 and lowest tax burden in the state, is ranked 1,582nd nationally. In the US, the county with the lowest tax burden is Yukon Koyukuk in Alaska, just ahead of Aleutians East also in Alaska. Some of the states with the lowest tax burdens include North Dakota and South Dakota, Texas, Florida, Nevada, Arizona and New Mexico among others.

OPINION

Hardin, Illinois

Sixteen-year-olds may soon get right to vote

By BILL HOAGLAND One of the things on the ballot within the City of San Francisco this November will be a proposal to allow voters who are 16 or 17 years old the right to vote in municipal elections. You might think this is just a “west coast thing,” but it isn’t. Several municipalities in other parts of the country already allow 16 and 17-yearolds to vote in local elections. But more importantly, are you aware that legislation has been proposed in the past at the federal level that would allow 16 and 17-year-olds to vote in national elections? In 2019, Representative Ayanna Pressley sponsored legislation that would have allowed this; there were 126 Congressmen who voted in favor of this legislation, including one Republican. It is likely we will see another attempt to lower the voting age at the national level after the first of the year. The reasoning in support of allowing 16 and 17-year-olds to vote is that young people are directly impacted by issues that are important to everyone, including young people, such as gun control legislation, climate change and various education issues, and they should therefore have a right to vote on those issues. Another commonly heard argument in favor of allowing them to vote is that this will “help youngsters to get into the habit of voting.” I do know some 16-yearolds who are very thoughtful and concerned about things other than themselves — but not many. Most are still looking at issues from a very selfcentered perspective. Not that there is anything wrong with the fact that these youngsters do not yet have an adult outlook about issues that impact all of us. I didn’t either at that age. My granddaughter, Kennedy Hoagland, is 18 years old and has proven herself to be a responsible adult in many ways. So, I asked her what she thought about 16-year-olds being able to vote in national elections. Her response was in essence that 16-year-olds are still just finding out what life is

all about. As she put it, “most 16-year-olds can’t even decide what name to use on TikTok.” So how about this: If you really think that 16-year-olds should be allowed to vote in our national elections, why not give them some other adult responsibilities and privileges and let’s see how that works out? Maybe they should all have to pay a portion of the real estate taxes assessed on their family home so that they can better appreciate why real estate taxes are sometimes so outrageous. Maybe we should lower the draft age to 16 and make them experience first hand what it means to have your own plans interrupted so that you can serve the needs of your country just like we did before and during the Vietnam War. Maybe they should pay income taxes and not be allowed refunds at the end of the year so that they learn why you can’t just tax people because you want to. Better yet, maybe 16 and 17-year-olds should be allowed to drink alcohol whenever and wherever they want so that they can “get into the habit of learning how to drink responsibly.” I think we can agree this last suggestion is a really bad idea. And that’s because maturity is a critical ingredient for most of our adult rights and privileges including not only the right to drink alcohol but also the right to vote. The dilution of our voting power is already in the works. Why complicate it further? ––––––––––––––––––– Q Bill Hoagland has practiced law in Alton for more than 50 years, but he has spent more than 70 years hunting, fishing and generally being in the great outdoors.

NEWS/OUR TOWN/OBITUARIES

Buyout loan, alleyway discussed at Kampsville meeting By CONNOR ASHLOCK Calhoun News-Herald The Village of Kampsville will be seeking out a loan for its participation in the flood buyout program, following suit with other government entities within Calhoun County. “The village will be receiving a loan for the project. The appraisals have been taken care of, and we are continuing the buyout process,” Kampsville Interim Mayor Paul Klunk said. Klunk did not divulge how much the buyouts in Kampsville would cost nor how many properties were opted into the

program. The buyout program is a tactic being used by local, state and federal officials to mitigate damages to property in future flood events like the one those in Calhoun were struggling with in 2019. The idea is the village — but really the state — would pay for property on the flood plain, and raze it, ensuring that in the case of future flood events, structures are not impacted. This is a long process, though, and village officials across the county are seeking out a loan to cover the costs of the buyouts to eventually be paid back by the state. Hardin is also getting a loan for the

25 Years Ago November 8, 1995 The Board of Trustees of the Village of Hardin strongly endorses the efforts of the Illinois Municipal League in drafting an unfunded mandates constitutional amendment. The Board of Trustees of the Village of Hardin has approved a resolution supporting the call for the General Assembly to join in the efforts of local governments to cooperatively draft a constitutional amendment. “The General Assembly has a responsibility to address the advisory question asked the citizens in 1992,” said Hardin Mayor Bill Horman. In the November 2, 1992 election, the General Assembly asked the voters if they wanted the chance to vote on an unfunded mandates constitutional amendment. The voters overwhelmingly (80.6 percent, or over three million) answered YES! Municipal officials throughout Illinois are committing their time and effort to see this challenge become a reality. “Calling for an unfunded state mandates constitutional amendment is a serious effort to restore both fiscal and elected integrity at the state and local level,” Horman said. “Every citizen who wants his or her tax dollars to stay local should urge their legislator to support this important measure.” Kenneth A. Alderson, Executive Director of the Illinois Municipal League, welcomed the Village of Hardin to the growing list of local governments who are supporting the constitutional amendment. “Unfunded state mandates have eroded the local officials’ ability to control taxes,” Alderson said. “We must seek a solution to fiscal responsibility by both state and and local officials. The unfunded mandates constitutional amendment is a major step in that direction,” Alderson said. 50 Years Ago October 22, 1970 The annual Halloween dance with a bazaar and lunch will be held on the night of Oct. 30 at the Town Hall in Batchtown. This good-time event is sponsored by the St. Barbara’s Altar Society, whose bazaar begins at 7 p.m. The Happy Kitchen Kuties Band starts the music for dancing at 8 p.m., followed by the Jack and Jim Orchestra, who play for both round and square dancing

Saturday, Oct. 31: Hardin Trunk-or-Treat, 4-6 p.m., Hardin Presbyterian Church and American Legion Post No. 636 in Hardin. To allow for better social distancing, the trunks will be spread out more than in years’ past. Traffic flow will be one-way! There will be an archway towards the end of French Street guiding attendees where to enter. Trunks will extend south down Water Street along the river front.

Saturday, Oct. 31: Hardin Trick-or-Treating hours, 5-8 p.m. in Village of Hardin.

buyout program. Hardin’s flood buyout program will cost approximately $1.7 million, and its village government voted to obtain a loan to help carry out the program. The Calhoun County Commissioners, who will be paying out approximately $422,000, have decided that they will proceed with the program without a loan for the time being, but are prepared to take out a loan when or if it becomes necessary. The reason why these entities have been taking out loans or are considering them is because of the uncertainty of the Illinois Department of Natural Resources’ timely

reimbursement of these entities’ expenses. The local governments will initially buy out the properties within their jurisdictions and will then wait on IDNR to pay them back, but no one is certain when the department will pay them back. Also, the village trustees are currently wading through recent discussion regarding a dispute concerning whether or not a particular alley was ever vacated. “The dispute on the alleyway is who is the owner of the alley,” Klunk said. “Our records show no report of the alley ever being vacated by the village. The village is working with both parties on solving the problem.”

Shipped out of East Hardin via the Alton Railroad were 179 carloads of apples. An average of 585 bushels of apples can be packed into a cold storage railroad car, so that 104,715 bushels of apples went to market in this manner. 179 carloads for 1945 compared to 301 carloads leaving the Easy Hardin railroad yards in 1944. Many truckers came into the county and purchased apples, so that it is not possible to estimate the entire crop of 1945. However, it probably exceeded the half million bushel mark, with many other bushels being used for cider purposes, even though the amount

of apples shipped to market by rail were less this year than last. 100 Years Ago October 28, 1920 A very enjoyable meeting of the Ladies Isch-Ca-Bibble Club was held with Mrs. Elmer Williams at her home in Hardin last Thursday afternoon. Some sort of campaign game to determine who the next President and Vice President of the U.S. would be was pulled off at this meeting, and we learn that Cox and Roosevelt were declared the winners, although the majority of the women present expressed themselves as supporters of Harding and Coolidge After enjoying the afternoon in a social way, the hostess served a nice luncheon to those present. The next meeting of this organization will be held with Mrs. S. W. Bailey at her home in Hamburg. Mr. and Mrs. Bailey will soon leave for Florida where they expect to spend the winter and it is Mrs. Bailey’s desire that she entertain the Isch-CaBibble Club before departing for Florida.

Kampsville Ferry operations see repairs Work is being done to repair the wall at the Kampsville Ferry, where they park the barges. John Adcock, civil engineer with the Illinois Department of Transportation, said these repairs, along with an extension to the wall north offering a larger area where they have to park the boats, is set to be completed next summer. Along with this work, contractors are also building a structure to help deflect ice from the tugboats in the wintertime. Keele and Sons is the contractor on the work at the Ferry. In another part of the county, facilities at the Grafton and Brussels points of the Brussels ferry is continuing. This work includes constructing a new boat ramp and is set to be completed in early spring.

Magic Words “Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you.” Colossians 3:13 NIV

Rull Brothers Hardin, IL

Jersey Community Hospital 618-498-6402 www.jch.org

As every child knows, “please” and “thank you” truly are magic words, in the sense that they can almost immediately transform the situation at hand and bend others to our will. But these aren’t the only magic words we should have ready at hand. “I’m sorry” and “please forgive me” are another set of magic words that almost always work to transform a bad situation into one where mercy, forgiveness, and thankfulness for having been forgiven are the overriding principles. These magic words not only work on the people around us, but also work to transform our inner lives. Saying “thank you” sends the message to our conscious and unconscious minds that things are going well and that we have much to be thankful for. Even when things are going poorly it is still possible to give thanks to God for the opportunity to develop our character. There are always things to be thankful for, and thanking God

reminds us of that fact. In a similar way, saying “I’m sorry” reminds us that we are always falling short. Being aware of our guilt and culpability helps us to live more easily and comfortably with our imperfections and inevitable failures. When those failures involve the people we live and work with, we need to humbly ask for their forgiveness, and saying “I’m sorry, please forgive me” usually brings about the requested forgiveness. So start using the magic words. I’m sorry. Please forgive me. Thank you. I love you. – Christopher Simon

Answering the call

In a big way, area residents showed their support to the local volunteer ambulance service over the weekend. EMT Amy Friedel, her son Sawyer Friedel and EMT and instructor Roger Witsken prepare to draw a name for the Traeger 780 Pellet Grill or $600 cash on Saturday, Oct. 24 at the Calhoun County central ambulance station. The winner drawn for the raffle was Anthony Gresham of Mozier. Anthony chose the Traeger grill as his prize. Approximately $7,500 was raised from the raffle. All proceeds from the fundraiser are to benefit the Calhoun Volunteer Ambulance. The money will be used for education, supplies and equipment. Modern Woodmen also made a matching donation of $2,500. “We really were supported,â€? Wanda Blackwell with the Calhoun Volunteer Ambulance Service said. â€œâ€ŚPeople really supported us.â€?

COVID

(Continued from A1) The presence of the coronavirus in these counties as well as in Calhoun persists as cold weather and more holiday social gatherings converge worrying some health officials about the chance for more coronavirus transmissions. Even still, local health departments have been persistent and active ahead of these potentially high transmission events such as trick-or-treating on Halloween, and have been pointing people to safe avenues in which to celebrate everyone’s favorite traditions during the spooky season. As previously reported, IDPH has guidance on the issue and how one can be safe this year trick-or-treating. According to the IDPH, trick-or-treating events need to incorporate social distancing, masking and proper hand washing, as well as adherence to event size limitations. This year, it was said that it would be safest to plan special

Unit 40

(Continued from A1) This uncertainty proves challenging when planning out a budget, Lee noted. “We can start the year with a promised amount but by midyear could have it decreased or stopped altogether. It is an extremely unfair way to expect school districts to operate,” she said. “When payments stop or are cut, the district is left to fill in the gaps. When there isn’t cash on hand to cover this, districts look to borrow.” And that is one of the options on the table now. On Oct. 14, finance leaders in the district had an online meeting with Stifel to discuss short-term borrowing options through the selling of a working cash bond for the district. Lee explained future consideration will need to be given on how to fund the unbalanced budget whether through possible cuts or short-term borrowing. “Right now, we are exploring and discussing all options on how to save money,” Lee said. “There isn’t a single plan yet moving forward. The district has done a good job of keeping expenditures low while also protecting the education for our students. As most everyone knows, we run on a ‘bare bones’ budget as it is. There aren’t many areas to trim fat from.” As far as the potential need to levy or borrow for more taxes, Lee had this to say: “Levying for taxes is always based on need for the district. Next year, our need is going to be much higher due to the pandemic. However, it is important to remember that regardless of what we levy for, we are only going to receive what the tax rate and EAV (equalized assessed value) allows us. While it is important for the district to not leave money on the table, we also try not to inflate our ‘ask’ so much that it doesn’t make sense for the tax payers.” As stated though, the budget is an estimate, and a more opaque one at that, during the pandemic, and a clearer picture of the school financials will be more definite as the months roll on. “Following the election, we will hopefully also have an idea of whether the state is going to receive any federal assistance,” Lee said. ”The governor has also made it clear that if the fair tax does not pass, there will be an impact on the state budget, which in turn has a negative impact on schools. Leaders in education have said that without the fair tax, we can count on cuts from approximately 5 percent to 10 percent. “So, I would say by the first of the year, we will have a better understanding of how much of a deficit we will be faced with. The only real numbers we have to go on right now is what has come in already in local taxes and our best adopted budget.”

Dispositions events at home, using social media and other meeting platforms to connect with family and friends. For those who choose to celebrate in-person, IDPH covered safe ways to go out and nab some candy. As an alternative to door-todoor trick-or-treating, anyone who would like to distribute treats should leave individually wrapped candy or treats on a table, on their front walkways, sidewalks or any outdoor space that allows for at least 6 feet of social distance from the door. The individually wrapped candy should be spread out so each piece is not touching another. IDPH officials are also urging anyone distributing candy or treats to wash their hands properly for at least 20 seconds before placing the candy on the table and when replenishing. All individuals participating in trick-or-treating, including those passing out candy should maintain social distance of at

least 6 feet and wear proper face coverings. IPDH officials report a costume mask, such as those worn for Halloween, is not a substitute for a face covering. If face coverings are worn under costume masks, please ensure this does not create breathing problems, and if so, discard the costume mask. Furthermore, the IDPH says only household members should trick-or-treat together, and they should maintain a 6-foot social distance from other trick-or-treaters at all times. Mixed household trickor-treaters are discouraged. Alcohol-based hand sanitizer should be carried and used frequently. Candy collected during trick-or-treating should not be consumed until after hand washing. As always, a parent/guardian should check all candy to make sure it is wrapped and should discard unwrapped candy. Also, outdoor areas are pre-

ferred for trick-or-treating. In some parts of the county, trickor-treating has been officially given the green light already. Alternatives like that of trunk-or-treating, of which there are a couple events slated later this month, have their own set of guidelines. Trunk or treat events are considered a higher risk activity and are discouraged. An alternative activity involves trick-or-treating in a large parking lot or other outdoor setting with adherence to social distancing. Tables are pre-set up with participants allowed to parade with a parent/guardian while maintaining at least 6-feet social distancing and wearing proper face coverings at all times. A limited number of people should staff the event, keeping tables replenished and monitoring social distancing, according to the IDPH. Proper hand washing should be performed before candy is consumed.

In the school board meeting, they also went over the school improvement plans for the elementary school and high school. These plans are reviewed and modified each year. “The staff work together to set goals to help improve in various areas such as student achievement, curriculum and technology,” Lee said. “This year, our focus was on getting the curriculum back in line since there was the time off in the spring. The state provided guidance on essential standards that need to be taken into account to help bridge the gap from what was lost last school year. “In addition, it was impor-

tant for everyone to become more familiar with how to use technology as a teaching tool so that we could instruct during remote learning. As a district, we also recognize the need to help support the social/emotional needs of our students. Together with the Calhoun County Health Department we are undergoing social/emotional training.” The program with the Calhoun health department is called Capturing Kids Hearts and is a nationwide program that trains staff on how to provide the best social/emotional support for kids. Also in the meeting: Q It was mentioned that the number of full-time remote

learners currently sits at 24 students grade Pre-K through 12. Q An update was give on the elementary school gym floor. It is currently being sanded. Painting is scheduled to begin next week. These repairs were necessary following the water damage caused last year from a broken sprinkler. Q It was noted that the replacement doors for the high school will be installed soon. These are to take the place of the wrong grade of doors that were sent to the school. They will be swapped out at no cost to the district. In addition, there are a couple of other minor repairs the company will complete for them.
