Courthouse renovation making good progress

By CONNOR ASHLOCK Jersey County Journal Residents of Jersey County who have driven past the courthouse might have noticed the presence of bucket trucks and fencing over the last several weeks.

Their presence will continue for some time longer, but thus far, considerable progress has been made in the courthouse renovation project, with work

on the roof, stone and interior moving at a timely pace, according to Jersey County Board Member Mark Wagner.

Wagner noted that the roof work was already 50 percent complete as of Friday, May 21, and has since continued to make exceptional progress.

Wagner further noted that since May 21, more work was done on the roof to the point that it is nearly entirely replaced.

Composite shingles are

replacing the previous shingles and will match the shingles that were previously added onto the roof of the dome. The shingles are expected to be good for 50 years.

The work on the courthouse roof began on April 26, which was the same day that power washing began on the Grafton limestone that composes the exterior of the 1893 Romanesque structure.

Relay for Life scaled back again this year

By JARAD JARMON Jersey County Journal Although things have largely gotten back on track, speaking specifically of summertime events, there are some like the American Cancer Society’s Relay for Life for Jersey and Greene counties whose timing was simply not right to go back to how they had been doing it.

Last year, because of COVID, organizers had to pivot how they had been doing things, this time around offering a Luminaria Drive-Thru

Display, and they are set to do it again this year, allowing a little more freedom to walk around.

Sheena Whitehead, senior development manager with the American Cancer Society (ACS), explained these events are planned months in advance, and earlier this year, it was unclear how open the summer would look for event organizers. The decision was made to scale back efforts as they did last year.

“We decided that we would just keep our June event date

and just still do a drive-thru event this year,” Whitehead said.

Volunteerism in the area, or lack thereof, was also a consideration in the decision.

“We actually have a very, very small committee,” Whitehead said. “We have lost a lot of committee members over the years. We are actually kind of struggling to keep this event alive, because we haven’t had a whole lot of volunteer support, so this year, we decided to keep it small.”

Grafton Hills emblematic of national construction holdups, lumber shortages

By JARAD JARMON Jersey County Journal Over the past year, Grafton Hills, a quickly developing part of the City of Grafton, has become another example of the disconnect in supply and demand in the country – namely when it comes to building homes, and city leaders have taken steps to react accordingly when it comes to their incentive program for home buyers.

In their last meeting, city council leaders voted to extend the construction period from two years to three years for Grafton Hills homes on city lots in the tax increment financing-related incentive program.

So, instead of requiring homes to be built within two years, it will be three years in order to qualify for the incentive program.

Homes and home-building on the Grafton lots have blown up with interest from home buyers, but like across the country, there is too much demand for what is in little supply – namely contractors and construction materials. And these hills serve as a snapshot of a national issue – one that depending on where you are standing is a good issue to have.

“Contractors have been extremely swamped. It has been very difficult to get a construction project underway, and construction supplies have been very difficult to maintain,” the city’s former attorney, Jim Shrempf, said.

The housing market is a sellers market, with a low supply of houses or underway housing projects and an abundance of interest in homes.

Months into 2021, housing supply remains at historically low levels while the impact from the pandemic and low mortgage interest rates linger, according to CoreLogic, which provides analytics on home buying and pricing.

This has meant that some potential sellers are still holding on to their properties in fear of the virus while homebuyers are flooding the market, trying to capture the benefits of low mortgage interest rates.

Together, these have shrunk the already small supply of available homes.

Nationally, the number of homes for sale equated to a 2.2-month supply in March 2021, falling from a supply of 3 months in March 2020, the lowest months’ supply since 2000.

CoreLogic, which aggregates data from housing and other industries, states that with demand strong and supply tight, many homes didn’t spend long on the market in the first three months of 2021.

Over the past two years, the share of homes selling within 30 days of the initial list date has been at the highest level since 2000.

In March 2021, the share selling within 30 days was 26.4 percent, higher than the pre-pandemic peak of 23.6 percent in May 2019 and more than four times of the level during January 2011.

“There has been a boom in the housing industry here recently, not only

in Grafton, but it seems nationwide,” Grafton Mayor Mike Morrow said. “...Houses I have been hearing that have been going on the market have been selling for 20, 30, 40,000 over the asking price – not everywhere of course, but that seems to be the norm.”

And the city is taking that into account.

“They just have to extend that – extended the time to be able to get their house built,” Morrow said.

“Otherwise it is not going to get done.”

Along with a scarcity of homes on the market and contractors to build, there has also been an imbalance in construction supplies and demand – namely lumber.

“What has really happened is a lot of production went offline at the initial stages of the pandemic,” Jason Plummer, vice president of R.P. Lumber, explained. “…When the pandemic kind of kicked off, everyone predicted some severe economic consequences, and we saw some severe economic consequences, but the construction industry didn’t really see that.”

At the same time, because of the pandemic, a lot of people that were staying at home decided to do projects at home.

So, one saw production go offline while at the same time, demand went through the roof.

“There was a significant imbalance there, and that caused real pricing distortions in the market,” Plummer said. “The prices for a lot of commodities, whether that is lumber or whether that is things like some precious metals. All kinds of stuff are very high right now. There are a lot of shortages, whether that is computer chips or commodities or just your dayto-day goods, your supply chain is disrupted.”

Retailers and customers would see prices jump sometimes up to 300 percent as was the case with sheet goods.

And these major price spikes were across the board – a rarity in the industry, and the prices were coming all the way up to production.

“Everyone sees the high prices, and they are like, ‘Wow, you must be making a bundle,’ and I always say, ‘Remember we have to buy it, too,’” Plummer said.

There is an end in sight though, at least in the case of lumber.

“Prices are still really high right now,” the R.P. Lumber VP said. “They are off their peaks, but they are still high. I think in the second half of this year, they are going to remain high for a while, but I think you will eventually see some of those numbers come down, mainly because most of that production that went offline is now back online, and the high prices have decreased demand a little bit, because people are putting projects off.”

Until prices normalize, contractors are freed up and real estate transfers slow down, Grafton as with everyone else in the country is at the whims of a fickle market.

Advanced wound care, hyperbaric medicine opens at JCH Jersey Community Hospital (JCH), announced the opening of the Advanced Wound Care and Hyperbaric Medicine Clinic, an outpatient facility offering a comprehensive approach for patients with non-healing wounds.

The center’s patients are examined by a multidisciplinary staff trained in wound care and evaluated for all possible physical conditions, such as diabetes, that could interfere with proper healing. The care team follows evidence-based clinical pathways to determine why wounds are not healing and then develops individual treatment plans, utilizing the most effective technologies available to provide maximum healing and relief.

“Our dedicated clinical staff understands the totality of the patient from a perspective of wound healing,” Beth King, JCH CEO, said. “We are working to treat not only the wound, but the underlying cause of the wound.”

The Advanced Wound Care and Hyperbaric Medicine Clinic at JCH provides a comprehensive approach to treating patients with non-healing wounds. The team features physicians, nurses and technicians with advanced training in wound care and hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBO).

HBO promotes healing by increasing

the level of oxygen in the tissue and improving the healing efficiency of the white blood cells. Therapy is administered in a hyperbaric chamber that delivers 100 percent oxygen with increased atmospheric pressure, stimulating the entire body’s natural healing responses.

Patients undergoing therapy have complete privacy in comfortable, individual chambers equipped with televisions and headphones for patient entertainment.

Especially beneficial for diabetic patients with nonhealing ulcers, as well as those with arterial ulcers and other types of wounds that fail to respond to conservative therapy, HBO is also a treatment for conditions without open wounds, such as osteomyelitis, radionecrosis and osteoradionecrosis.

Patients who are prescribed HBO typically require treatment five days a week for two-hour sessions. Each session requires 10-15 minutes to reach the necessary atmospheric pressure before a 90-minute treatment and then another 10-15 minutes to return to normal atmospheric pressure.

The Advanced Wound Care and Hyperbaric Medicine Clinic is open Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. For more information about wound care or to schedule an appointment, call (618) 639HEAL (4325).

Relay

(Continued from A1) Aside from fundraising, organizers and Relay for Life leaders have been calling on people to take part, to ensure such an event does not go away in Jersey and Greene as it has done in other areas across the country.

“Events across the country – some of them are no longer even in existence, because the volunteers stepped away and just had too much else going on,” Whitehead said. “So, I think it is just a case of everyone being so busy these days.”

These struggles with volunteerism are not specific to the ACS. This scarcity in volunteerism is being voiced across the litany of non-profit organizations that rely on volunteer efforts.

“I do think that a lot of what is happening, especially in the volunteer spectrum, is not specific to the American Cancer Society,” Whitehead said. “I work with a lot of other non-profit groups, and I think everyone is kind of feeling that burnout and that fatigue...We have all gone through a lot over the last 18 months.”

Whitehead explained that COVID was not the reason for the loss in volunteer support, but it certainly exacerbated the issue.

“Unfortunately, volunteerism is usually the first thing that people have to cut out of their lives when they are overwhelmed or they have just too much going on,” Whitehead said.

“So, I don’t think it is completely because of COVID, but I do think COVID accelerated what is happening in the non-profit (space) right now.”

And right now, volunteers are more important than ever.

Last year, COVID hit just around the ACS’s fundraising season, in which Relay for Life plays a heavy role.

“Relay for Life obviously took a hit last year,” Whitehead said. “Really, the pandemic started in the middle of our fundraising season, so we had a hit on fundraising last year.”

Specifically at the event in Greene last year, the attendance was slight in comparison to what organizers hoped to see. In this area, Relay for Life is a co-op event between those in Jersey and Greene counties, with the location switching between both counties each year. Last year, Relay for Life took place in Carrollton.

“We went ahead and tried to do a drive-thru, and we just did not have a lot of people come out. I feel like people were still wary of going out – even outdoors,” Whitehead said.

A lack of support all around impacted the organization as a whole, requiring more support from volunteers.

“Now more than ever, we are really leaning on our volunteers to take charge of their events, because they are the ones that live in their communities, and they are the ones who work in their communities,” Whitehead said.

“They have the local connection, and they are really the ones who are out there putting these events and the fundraisers together in honor of their loved ones.”

Thankfully, those volunteers in the area that continue to support the local events are a committed group.

“The volunteers that we do have are extremely dedicated,” Whitehead said.

The hope is that the upcoming event will draw more people, especially more than last year. This time around, they will be hosting their Relay for Life event as a Luminaria Drive-Thru Display on Friday, June 4, at Marshall Chevrolet Buick GMC in Jerseyville.

The Pig on a Wing food truck will be onsite from 5-7 p.m. Luminaria will be on display from 6-9 p.m. with a ceremony at 8:30 p.m. where the names of survivors and those lost to cancer will be read aloud. The ceremony will be live-streamed on their Facebook page at Relay For Life of Jersey & Greene Counties.

More information about purchasing luminaria can be found on the ACS website or on the previously mentioned Facebook page.

Luminarias honor every life touched by cancer. One can dedicate them to a loved one lost, someone currently battling, or anyone who’s overcome it. When an individual attends a Relay event, they’ll see the luminarias decorated with names and sometimes messages to the people they’re dedicated to.

After dark, Relay participants share an emotional moment when each Luminaria is lit in remembrance of a life touched by cancer.

Together, they take a moment of silence to remember the loved ones they’re dedicated to.

“It is a really powerful demonstration that gives people the opportunity to grieve, but also offers comfort and hope,” Whitehead said.

Although it is a drive-thru, people can still walk to find their luminaria. They can also be purchased on-site at the event.

When one makes a donation for a Luminaria, it helps fund the American Cancer Society’s mission to help save lives.

“Our mission is important now more than ever,” Whitehead said. “We have seen a lot of new cancer instances are going to happen this year, because people skipped their screenings last year, either because their office is closed due to COVID or because they did not feel comfortable going back, so ACS is doing a really big push to get people back to their cancer screenings, because that is the number one tool we have in cancer prevention is finding it early.”

Of note, the ACS is also the No. 1 cancer research fundraiser aside from the government.

In tandem with the luminaria display, the photo scavenger hunt will be ongoing. They are kicked off this photo scavenger hunt fundraiser May 1, and it is set to end June 6. Teams of four can register and receive a list of photos to “hunt” for around our communities, some of which will be at the Friday event. Although the response has not been great, organizers are still pushing for people to participate. People can contact Molly Cannon at m_cannon87@ hotmail.com or 618-946-1063 to register and receive rules and a list of photos.

Words to live by: “The best preparation for tomorrow is doing your best today.”

What can we expect from government UFO disclosures I

wrote a column recently about the fact that the US government, including the various intelligence agencies working on behalf of the US government, must disclose to Congress and presumably to the public everything in their possession regarding the presence of UFOs – now referred to as Unidentified Aerial Phenomena – in our atmosphere.

These disclosures must be made on or before June 25.

The only disclosures that do not have to be made are those that must remain classified for current national security reasons—meaning situations in which China, Russia or some other earthly adversary may be potentially involved.

Maybe it is my imagination, but it seems as if every few days now, a new UFO sighting is declassified and released to the public. Just in the past several weeks, we have learned the following: Four Navy pilots personally saw a UFO on the surface of the ocean, offshore from San Diego, hovering and stirring up the surface of the water; Ryan Graves, another Navy pilot, revealed that he saw a UFO almost on a daily basis for two years in a restricted air space off the Virginia coast; and David Fravor, another Navy pilot, while in flight saw

a UFO disappear into thin air.

We have also seen videos of a UFO diving into the ocean and a swarm of UFOs “harassing” a Navy ship near the California shoreline recently.

You have to wonder if the government, by slowly leaking these episodes to the public, is “softening us up” for some kind of major disclosure— something more than just some ill-defined lights streaking across a radar screen. I am suggesting something perhaps as tangible as wreckage from an alien spacecraft or (gulp!) an alien body or two. That would definitely “change the landscape.”

As to what the government knows, I keep coming back to that interview between President Obama and Jimmy Kimmel on March 12, 2015, on Kimmel’s show, when Kimmel persisted in asking Obama what, as president, he learned about UFOs. After joking around and trying to avoid answering, Obama in a serious tone said, “I can’t reveal anything.” If there were nothing to reveal, he would have said so.

His response and his demeanor at the time suggests that there is something significant and tangible to reveal—presumably something more than just unidentified lights in the sky.

Let’s just assume for a minute that the government is

preparing to reveal something much more tangible than lights in the sky. If that were to happen, it might be the most significant event in our lifetime.

It would also confirm that the creatures responsible for these UFOs know much more about us than we know about them.

And consider this: think of all the people who over the years were ridiculed because they revealed that they had a personal UFO experience — even as simple as seeing a UFO overhead — that they reluctantly disclosed to others.

We would certainly have a lot of apologizing to do, wouldn’t we? Stay tuned. June 25 is not that far away.

Memorial Day not a day of melancholy but of remembrance M

emorial Day has always symbolized more than its original purpose.

It is supposed to allow us to reflect on the lives of those who died while serving in the armed forces in the United States. We would do well to both remember that and to take a moment to actually do it in some fashion.

I, personally, do not believe this is meant to be a somber day whereby one cannot enjoy all that the long weekend has to offer, but that we remember the price that was paid which gives us the freedom to have all of this fun. I think those who died defending freedom would delight in a sense of satisfaction in knowing that Americans feel secure on this day.

This day has also always marked the beginning of summer. As a youngster, this was the day the public swimming pool opened. It was a day for baseball, barbeque and bicycles. It was the time my momma unpacked the summer clothes and packed up the winter ones. (I can still remember opening those bags of clothes as if I were getting something new.)

And of course, perhaps the most important marker that Memorial Day provided was knowing that school was officially out for the summer.

The name Memorial Day really does fit. It is a day of lots of remembrances, but because of this, we must be cautious.

Over the years monuments and markers have been built just to keep us from forgetting those who gave their lives in order that we might enjoy ours. Without these, we might lose focus on the real purpose of this day. We might forget the heroic acts and even the bleak moments when it seemed that the worst had come. We have to remember these times and the best way to do that is by building these monuments. We learned this in the Bible.

God was always telling his people to build an altar or to stack up stones, or even to write something down. It was mainly for one simple reason – so they would not forget; so that each time they passed by these monuments, they would remember how God had delivered them or provided for them in a dif-

Perhaps you are going through a time right now where it seems there is no way out. It may look as if the worst has come, or the end is near. It may seem, as it did to Moses, that you have an enemy that is behind you and a vast sea in front of you. Remember, just as God made a way before, he will make a way now.

The building and grounds committee of the county board was able to sit down with contractors beforehand and select from a list of projects that they felt deserved higher priority and that proved to be reasonable expenditures at the present time for the county.

The list of projects they selected make up the entire courthouse renovation project currently underway, which is expected to be finished before winter.

Wagner chairs the public safety committee of the county board, but was able to speak on the progress with the courthouse renovation project because of his role in assisting Brian Kanallakan, who chairs the building and grounds committee, in overseeing the project.

JERSEY COUNTY JOURNAL

Jerseyville, Illinois

Debbie Ward Deborah Kay (Christen) Ward passed away on Friday, May 28, 2021 with her family by her side, after a battle with ALS. The oldest of 8 children born to Neil and Mary Katherine “Katsy” (Rhoads) Christen, Debbie grew up helping care for her siblings on the family farm east of Jerseyville. She attended Holy Ghost grade school, Sacred Heart Academy Catholic Girls High School in Springfield, IL and Gem City College in Quincy, IL. From an early age, Debbie took great pride in her appearance. She firmly believed that you shouldn’t leave the house without makeup, and an outfit wasn’t complete if your shoes didn’t match your purse. She was known for her signature “flamingo pink” lipstick and was everyone’s go-to lady if you were searching for the perfect accessory.

She married Dennis Ward on February 13, 1971; theirs was the last wedding at the old Holy Ghost Church before the parish moved to their current location. They have remained committed to each other and their family for the last 50 years; he survives. There was nothing Debbie took more pride in than being a mom, and Mamo/Mimi to her grandkids, and there was no question that she was the very best.

She was the OG dance mom, and never missed a chance to cheer her kids and grandkids on in whatever they were doing.

Debbie worked many jobs over the years, but she found her true calling as an Avon representative. This path allowed her to combine 2 of her favorite things: her love for people, and her love of makeup. She won many awards through her years with Avon, but her greatest prize was the many lifelong friendships she gained with her wonderful customers.

Debbie had a true gift for being able to make friends everywhere she went, and for that reason touched more lives than her family will probably ever realize. Once you were in Debbie’s life, you could count on her being there for anything you needed. She can best be described in one simple word: selfless. She loved reminiscing on the wonderful memories she made with so many people over the years, especially her shenanigans with the “Mom Squad.” She was the life of every party, and knew how to make anything she did a memorable event.

John Peipert

John Jacob Peipert, 78, went to meet his Lord, peacefully at 5:22 p.m., Thursday, May 27, 2021 at his residence, surrounded by his family who loved him dearly.

Not quite making it to the hospital in time, John came into this world in Godfrey Township, Madison County, Illinois on August 22, 1942, one of two sons born to proud parents, George William and Marie (Jones) Peipert.

John grew up alongside his brother Greg on the family farm in Brighton where the two managed to create lots of commotion, and learned early on what a hard days work really meant, a trait they both carried throughout their life.

He graduated in 1960 from Southwestern High School in Piasa, and served his country with the United States Army.

He married the former Patricia Culli on February 26, 1965 at the Calvary Baptist Church in Alton. They spent the majority of their married lives in Brighton, where they raised their two children, and in spite of his demanding work schedule, John rarely missed either one of their activities. One of his greatest joys in life were his grandchildren and great grandchildren. After his retirement, he made sure he never missed any of their activities. Even after his health declined and his mobility was limited, his grandchildren could be certain that he would still be there to support them in anything they did.

He began his working career at Owens-Illinois Glass Manufacturing in Alton and was employed there for 20 years until the plant closing. He later began working for Hussmann Refrigeration in Bridgeton, Mo., retiring in 2007.

A quiet man by nature, John showed his love with a fierce loyalty and devotion to his family. Later in life, his family was gratefully

able to provide the same love and devotion to him as his health deteriorated, allowing him to accomplish his wish to remain at home until the day he died.

Those that knew John, or even those who just drove by his home in either Brighton or Jerseyville, knew of his passion for his lawn. He flawlessly cared for his yard and landscaping, making sure that his John Deere was both washed and waxed after each mowing. As the years passed, and his mobility was limited, he resorted to clipping the grass with scissors, to ensure his lawn would still look pristine.

He is survived by his wife, Patricia Peipert of Jerseyville; a son and daughter in-law, John and Judy Peipert of Godfrey; a daughter and son in-law, Shawnna and Carl Crawford of Jerseyville; his eight grandchildren and their spouses, Josh and Kellie Peipert of Bethalto, Ashley Peipert, Austin Peipert and Abby Peipert all of Godfrey, Zachary Crawford and Bobby Doody of Jerseyville, Karlee and Jordan Kreienkamp of Wildwood, Mo., Collin and Sarah Crawford and Baylee Crawford all of Jerseyville; four great grandchildren, Aria, Noah, Wesley and Leo;

Jerseyville, Illinois

Open Late event sparks deeper school-community connection in one of our meetings that we have all these students with all this potential and no one sees it,” Wittman explained. “So, I reached out to Erica Heitzig.”

Heitzig, who is also a member of the small business committee, was very keen on the idea of showcasing the local artists whose artwork is usually kept out of public view inside the schools.

As Heitzig explained, she reached out to teachers within the school district and at St. Francis/Holy Ghost to see who would be willing to work on a class-wide project.

The eighth-grade class at St. Francis got in on the action, as well as several grades in the public schools, including the kindergarten, second, third and fifth-grade classes, as well as the sixth and eighth-grade STEM classes.

At the high school, Heitzig’s intro and advanced design classes contributed artwork, as well as the welding class, who pieced together a collection of handsome planters that line a section of State Street near George’s Local Brew and Deer Lane Boutique.

Some of the pieces might find a permanent home in the community or in the schools, but others were designed for temporary placement.

Regardless of their fate, their purpose worked, as locals were seen making their rounds to all the various activities and businesses that were a part of the Open Late event, enjoying the various art pieces on display.

The whole experience was a dream come true for Heitzig, who shared that this was a project that she has desired to see for a long while now.

“The school-community connection is my big passion, and I think it’s an area where we could improve here in Jersey County,” Heitzig explained. “I

think that our schools do amazing things, but our community doesn’t really have the opportunity to see it all.”

Heitzig originally wanted to carry out this event in May 2020 but was unable to do so because of the virus, explaining that May was the best time, if not the early fall, to cultivate that school-community connection through student artwork.

“I would love for it to become a May tradition, but overall for people to realize that it really does enhance our towns. It creates vibrancy and makes us feel more connected,” Heitzig said. “I’m hoping it becomes contagious to just make things look better, whether it be a business or residence. I want people to see it’s pretty simple stuff that makes a huge difference.”

Ultimately, though, Heitzig wanted that school-community connection to be cultivated in such a way that the students would shine the brightest.

“The idea was to make kids feel more connected to the community and give them more confidence to do bigger and better things,” Heitzig said.

When all was said and done, the goals of Heitzig, Wittman and all those who plan the Open Late event were accomplished and the stage was set for continued efforts in keeping the students involved with downtown community vibrancy.

“It will definitely be something we try to do next spring,” Wittman said.

By CONNOR ASHLOCK Jersey County Journal With COVID restrictions easing, the Jersey County Business Association (JCBA) has finally been able to host their monthly Open Late events, which take place normally on every fourth Tuesday of the month from April through October.

Last year, pretty much the only activity that the JCBA was able to conduct regarding the Open Late events was encouraging the community to purchase gift certificates that could be used at any of the JCBA member businesses.

During a typical community-wide Open Late event, businesses will have specials, offer prizes and stay open longer as a means to get people walking and shopping in the community.

“It’s been really great because we’ve had packed businesses both months already,” Lisa Wittman, chairwoman of the JCBA Small Business Committee, which plans the Open Late events, said.

Wittman shared that May proved a more bustling month than April, due in no small part to the various pieces of artwork that were on display throughout the community that were designed and pieced together by students in Jerseyville schools.

Wittman estimated there were around 70 pieces of artwork around the community, with four of those projects having been a class-wide effort.

The idea to use the Open Late event as a platform to showcase artwork created by the community’s younger artists resulted from brainstorming among the members of the small business committee of the JCBA. “We try to get together monthly and it just came up

JERSEY COUNTY JOURNAL

2020 Jersey County final multiplier announced Jersey County has been issued a final property assessment equalization factor of 1.0000, according to David Harris, Director of the Illinois Department of Revenue.

The property assessment equalization factor, often called the “multiplier,” is the method used to achieve uniform property assessments among counties, as required by law. This equalization is particularly important because some of the state’s 6,600 local taxing districts overlap into two or more counties, e.g. school districts, junior college districts, fire protection districts. If there were no equalization among counties, substantial inequities among taxpayers with comparable properties would result.

Under a law passed in 1975, property in Illinois should be assessed at onethird of its market value.

Farm property is assessed differently, with farm homesites and dwellings subject to regular assessIN THE CIRCUIT COURT OF THE SEVENTH JUDICIAL CIRCUIT JERSEY COUNTY, ILLINOIS IN THE MATTER OF THE ESTATE OF CHRISTINA N.

ing and equalization procedures, but with farmland assessed at one-third of its agriculture economic value. Farmland is not subject to the state equalization factor.

Assessments in Jersey County are at 33.10 percent of market value, based on sales of properties in 2017, 2018, and 2019.

The equalization factor currently being assigned is for 2020 taxes, payable in 2021. Last year’s equalization factor for the county was 1.0000.

The final assessment equalization factor was issued after a public hearing on the tentative factor. The tentative factor issued in March 2021 was 1.0000.

The equalization factor is determined annually for each county by comparing the price of individual properties sold over the past three years to the assessed value placed on those properties by the county supervisor of

assessments/county assessor.

If this three-year average level of assessment is one-third of the market value, the equalization factor will be one. If the average level of assessment is greater than onethird of market value, the equalization factor will be less than one. And if the average level of assessment is less than onethird of market value, the equalization factor will be greater than one.

A change in the equalization factor does not mean total property tax bills will increase or decrease. Tax bills are determined by local taxing bodies when they request money each year to provide services to local citizens.
