WHITESIDE COUNTY
By Eric Ingles and Sarah Ford news@saukvalley.com
Since Whiteside County’s 911 service was first established, much of the burden of paying for it has fallen to individual cities, towns and police departments throughout the county. On Nov. 3 voters rejected a measure to change that and implement a 0.5% sales tax to fund 911 services. Voters resoundingly said no. Sterling Mayor Skip Lee said in the short term, it may not mean much for Sterling residents. “We capped what we’re paying into the system at what we agreed to pay originally,” he said. “Consequently, short-term-wise, that’s not going to change. We cannot continue to keep paying more and more and more and more for a system that was not fair to the citizens of
MORRISON
Morrison voters OK hospital plan By Eric Ingles
eingles@shawmedia.com
Morrison voters on Nov. 3 approved a plan by the Morrison Community Hospital to lease off-site office space. Morrison residents voted in favor of the plan 3,273 (72.78%) to 1,224 (27.22%). The referendum allows the district to lease office space outside of district boundaries. In a statement on the hospital’s website, hospital CEO Pan Pfister said that this move is intended to add a place for initial and follow-up appointments, and will allow the hospital to share office space for the convenience of patients. Pfister assured residents that there would be no increase in property taxes.
Sterling.” Lee said he was disappointed the measure did not pass, but not surprised given the tough economy in which the county was asking shoppers to pay a bit more in sales tax. Albany Chief of Police Wyatt Heyvaert agreed that is was a tough time to ask, especially with the statewide proposal for a graduated income tax also on the ballot. “The benefits of the tax are that it allows not only Whiteside County residents, but also those who visit to contribute to the fund by purchasing gas or eating at our restaurants,” Heyvaert said. “A public safety tax took three times to pass in Henry County, and since it did, it has sustained the funding for dispatching fees. This tax is vital, especially to smaller municipalities, because our fees for dispatching services are being raised to cover the continuing
rising costs.” Heyvaert said that without the tax, Albany’s share could increase from $300 to $18,000 per year. Morrison Mayor Everett Pannier Everett Pannier, said he would Morrison Mayor expect the county to follow through with its plan to charge cities in the county more for 911 services. “Eventually, and by eventually I’d say over the next three years, we could see a bill for around $87,000 for the city of Morrison,” Pannier said. “Sterling and Rock Falls obviously would be much greater than that. So I think the intent was to try to put
it on the next ballot. I don’t know if that can be done for next April, but do it again and try for more work up front to make sure people knew what it was they were voting for.” Whiteside County Sheriff John Booker said the tax proposal “isn’t something that will go away. It will reappear again on another ballot,” after the vote totals came in showing the proposal had been defeated by 12,681 votes. “Like we saw with Sheriff Booker’s statement the other day, now they’re going to have to look at other options,” Lee said. “Rock Falls and Sterling cannot continue to pay at the rates we are, compared to the rates in the western end of the county. I’m not saying the west end is doing anything evil; it was traditionally that they were given 911 service for a low cost, and now that’s no longer going to be a possibility.”

Those results are subject to change through Nov. 17, as Penny outstanding mail-in VanKampen ballots continue to be submitted to, processed and tabulated by the Whiteside County Clerk’s Office. Further updates to vote totals and the race’s outcome can be found at shawlocal.com/election/results/. VanKampen’s projected victory keeps her in the position, which the Whiteside County Board appointed her to in September 2019 to serve the rest of Darlene Hook’s term after Hook retired. Prior to that appointment,
VanKampen had been the deputy treasurer, joining the department in 2010 after spending 13 years in banking. She received a glowing endorsement from Hook, who said that VanKampen would operate the treasurer’s office with “efficiency and integrity.” Walrath, who has 10 years of finance experience in the private and public sector, had received endorsements from U.S. Rep. C heri Bustos (D-17th) and from the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees Council 31, but those weren’t enough to carry her past VanKampen.

Optimism is record high in a year of extremes BY CHUCK ABBOTT Successful Farming
Farmer confidence is the highest in the fiveyear history of the Ag Economy Barometer, said Purdue University on Tuesday. The monthly survey of large-scale farmers and ranchers has returned dynamic results in a year disrupted by the pandemic by setting record highs twice in eight months, punctuated by its lowest reading in four years. Confidence surged by 27 points to 183 in October, the highest reading since the barometer’s debut in October 2015. More farmers than ever said their farms were in better financial condition than a year ago and a solid majority expected good times in the near to medium term. “The late summer/fall rally in commodity prices, combined with government payments arising from the second round of the Coronavirus Food Assistance Program (CFAP2), appeared to be the primary drivers behind the sentiment improvement,” wrote Purdue economists James Mintert and Michael Langemeier, who oversee the barometer. Nearly six in 10 respondents said they expected China to fulfill its commitment to buy $36.6 billion of U.S. food, agriculture, and seafood products this year. A month earlier, slightly less than half said China would comply with the goals of
More farmers are saying their farms are in better financial condition than a year ago. the “phase one” trade agreement. The latest survey was conducted from Oct. 19-23, after a steady parade of sales of corn, soybeans, and pork for export to China. All the same, customs data say China imported $12.9 billion of U.S. ag products through the end of September, slightly more than one-third of the 2020 target, said the Peterson Institute for Inter-
national Economics. The Ag Barometer reached a then record of 168 in February, coinciding with the signing of the Sino-U.S. “phase one” agreement. It then plunged to 96 in April, the lowest since October 2016, as the pandemic slowed the U.S. economy. Readings regained strength in late summer and early fall, to soar explosively in October.

WHITESIDE COUNTY & COVID
State’s attorney says new measures can’t be enforced with old rules BY TIMOTHY EGGERT
teggert@shawmedia.com After more than a month of some business owners and residents flouting enhanced mitigations aimed at stunting a surge of the coronavirus, a group of Whiteside County officials are considering, but still hesitant about codifying, a method of enforcing those measures. The prospect of drafting and adopting an ordinance that mandates businesses and individuals abide by protocols outlined in Illinois Department of Public Health Tier 1 and Tier 2 coronavirus resurgence mitigations, in place since Oct. 3 and Oct. 25, comes as the total number of confirmed coronavirus cases recorded in the county have exploded from 872 cases on Oct. 3 to 2,143 cases on Nov. 5. On Nov. 5, members of the county board’s public safety committee asked Whiteside County State’s Attorney Terry Costello if such an ordinance could be developed, and how one could be enforced. “I’d like to see you look into it, and if there’s something you can see
POTENTIAL EXPOSURE Health department warns of potential exposure at Hero’s Bar & Grill in Morrison
The Whiteside County Health Department issued a warning of a potential COVID-19 exposure at Hero’s Bar & Grill in Morrison on Oct. 31.
that we can actually do, have it prepared for us so we can act on it this month,” Whiteside County Board chairman Jim Duffy told Costello. Costello said there’s Terry Costello no clear path in existing state law that gives the county the ability to enforce the IDPH resurgence mitigations. He pointed to the IDPH emergency rules adopted this summer by a state legislative rule-making panel as the appropriate method of matching new public health guidelines with new agents of enforcement. Those mechanisms include a system of written warnings and orders to disperse that can be issued by county health departments to noncompliant businesses, and authorize county state’s attorneys to issue Class A Misdemeanors or an injunction-order to close for continued noncompliance. But no statutory agent has been proposed or adopted to enforce the resurgence mitigations, Costello said, explaining that the county can’t enforce a ban on indoor dining because the existing emergency rules don’t address that guideline. “I wish we could do something,” Costello said. “We’ve been looking at this all along...but I can ask my civil assistant to look at it again. I don’t
know if we’ll come up with another result.” The committee’s discussion of the potential ordinance is largely a response to comments made last week by Sterling Mayor Skip Lee, who said county officials and agencies should “aggressively support” the city’s efforts to enforce the enhanced mitigations. Lee said the city will be “examining” the liquor licenses of businesses “flagrantly disregarding the rules,” and the Sterling Police Department will “vigorously work to enforce the guidelines and respond to calls.” But Lee said he was “imploring” Costello to apply the IDPH emergency guidelines to ensure businesses and individuals comply with the enhanced mitigations within the city. “The bottom line is, law enforcement or the health department, no one can take enforcement measures unless the state’s attorney is willing to back them up,” Lee said. Costello said in an email two weeks ago that his office would handle any potential violations of the emergency regulations the same as any other case. “Should any law enforcement agency forward a criminal complaint and report regarding an alleged violation of that section, it would be reviewed for prosecution the same as any other case that law enforce-
ment submits to my office for prosecution,” Costello said in the email. He added that the county is “very limited” in its ability to regulate what goes on inside a municipality, like the city of Sterling, and that the city could enforce the mitigations without relying on the county. “Every municipality to my knowledge has the ability to develop and enforce its own ordinances,” Costello told the committee. “They have their own law enforcement agencies and attorneys to enforce those ordinances.” Whiteside County Sheriff John Booker echoed that understanding, adding that his deputies forward any complaints of potential violations to the Whiteside County Health Department, and that he has directed his deputies to enforce the face covering mandate outlined in the IDPH emergency regulations. “But a deputy cannot enforce a county ordinance within a city,” Booker said. “If there’s a city ordinance, a deputy cannot enforce it in other parts of the county.” Even still, committee chair Sue Britt said that she’d like Costello to develop the potential ordinance, unless it creates additional liability for the county. “If it’s going to shift the liability from [the state] to the county, then I’m not as sure,” Britt said. “We have enough problems already.”
The health department said that an individual with symptoms who later tested positive visited Hero’s that night after 10 p.m. The health department warns that a person visiting any place, whether that is a restaurant, bar, social gathering or job, where mitigation restrictions and
health guidelines are not being followed, that person is at risk of contracting the coronavirus and of then spreading the virus to those around them. “Whiteside County is seeing the highest COVID-19 burden this year with no indication of improvement,” the department said in a news release.
“Unfortunately, a number of individuals are not doing what they can to protect our community, first responders, healthcare systems, employers and schools...As a result we continue to see exposure and cases in our schools, workplaces, social gatherings and other locations in our community.”
COVID CONTACT TRACING
Hospitalizations top 4,000 for 1st time in second wave By JERRY NOWICKI
Capitol News Illinois jnowicki@capitolnewsillinois.com Gov. JB Pritzker’s administration unveiled a new central location for COVID-19 contact tracing data on theIllinois Department of Public Health’s website on Nov. 6. While the data contain outbreak and exposure information, the loca-
tion of an outbreak is more difficult to identify than the location of an exposure, according to the governor’s office. New data will be released every Friday. In Friday’s release from the governor’s office, an outbreak is defined as five or more cases that are linked to a specific setting during a 14-day period. Those cases must be from different households with no known links to other potential sources.
“While certain settings like a college campus, a factory, or group home make it easier to determine an outbreak, most establishments that are frequented by the public, like restaurants or grocery stores, are harder to determine as the setting of an outbreak,” according to the governor’s office. Exposure data, however, shows where individuals have visited in the 14 days prior to a diagnosis. The
locations are places where exposure may have – not definitely have – occurred. Per the data, “other” was the most frequent category, as it was a term encompassing such exposures as hair salons, funeral homes and warehouses. That category was cited by 11.6 percent of those contacted, or 4,179 people.

YOUR HEALTH
Frontotemporal - a different type of dementia BY STEPHEN D. HARRISON, M.D.
Dementia is a generic term that includes Alzheimer’s as the most common type. But, there are several other types that are fairly common. Another type of dementia is frontotemporal dementia. The name comes from the areas of the brain that are affected, the frontal lobe and the sides of the brain known as the temporal lobes. Because these areas are involved with behavior and language, prob-
lems may occur and in thse areas. Doctors do not know what the cause is behind this, but it does not appear to be any of the common areas that have been looked at previously. While the cause is not known, it tends to occur more in families who have a member with dementia of any type. Unfortunately, it also tends to occur earlier in ages ranging from 45 to 65. The memory losses do not appear to be as strong as those with Alzheimer’s. With frontotemporal dementia, there is a change in behavior, which may look
like depression and loss of interest. Because there is no direct treatment for this condition, it may be helpful to consider treatment for depression if that is indeed what it looks like. Unfortunately, such individuals don’t usually recognize the problem or that there is anything to worry about. The other area involves language, in which things are said that do not have any meaning or are hard to understand. There are no routine tests to diagnosis this process,
however, your physician may use some blood tests to look for other treatable causes that occasionally are uncovered. In addition, imaging studies are sometimes helpful to look at other considerations, which might be an MRI or a CAT scan. As for treatment, there is none known except through symptom medicine, such as for depression, is sometimes employed. Counseling may help some individuals.
• HOSPITALIZATIONS Directly behind that was restaurestaurants and bars with 3,877, school with 3,794, workplace other than an office at 3,693, a hospital or clinic at 3,106, business or retail at 3,080, an office setting at 2,049, and private homes at 1,301. Grocery stores accounted for 1,243 exposures and colleges 1,085. Individual cases can show up in multiple categories if a person has visited multiple locations. “The day before a person tested positive for example, she might go to work, and then stop at a grocery store, and then stop and get drinks with friends at a bar. That’s three exposure locations and that’s just one day,” Pritzker said. “Why is this important? Because exposure data is going to give you a sense of where you’re at the greatest risk for catching COVID-19, and particularly when we see community transmission as high as it is around the state, the risk is going to scale up across the board.” Pritzker said at his daily briefing in Chicago that 57 of the 97 local health departments in the state are reaching out to at least 90 percent of individuals who test positive as of late October, and 86 of 97 are reaching out to at least 75 percent of positive cases. The state has distributed $237 million to the local health departments to hire contact tracers and get programs up and running. As for outbreaks, Pritzker said data show “a pattern of formal group gatherings making up the majority of our confirmed outbreaks.” “Again, these are the settings where it’s easiest to trace the origins of someone’s illness and declare a situation, a formal outbreak,” he said. Only 10 of 5,478 schools have currently reported COVID-19 outbreaks, he said, noting local health departments will be the best source of information for school data. Pritzker and IDPH Director Dr. Ngozi Ezike said Illinoisans should answer the phone when contact tracers call, and no private information will be shared for the person who tested positive. Those getting COVID-19 tests should also leave accurate phone numbers. “So please if you get that call from IL, Illinois COVID Help, please answer the phone and answer the questions,” Ezike said. The announcement came as the state reported a one-day record for
15 WHITESIDE NEWS Shaw Media / ShawLocal.com • Tuesday, November 10, 2020

new cases, reaching 10,376. IDPH also reported another 49 COVID-19-related deaths as the total death toll grew to 10,079. That’s among 465,540 confirmed cases since the pandemic began. The state also announced it would begin including probable cases in its daily case counts. That’s due largely to the fact that rapid antigen tests are viewed as probable exposures, whereas molecular tests are considered confirmed exposures. Most of the 8.2 million test results reported thus far are molecular tests, but the number of antigen tests are growing and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have changed guidance on reporting probable tests, which could also include people with symptoms and a known exposure. “In August, the national case definition was changed so that an antigen test alone would be considered a probable case with the increased use of antigen tests,” Ezike said. “We will get more probable cases and we want to make sure that we capture all of those cases that are diagnosed via antigen test, similar to how the CDC does this, and similar to how other states are calculating this as well, so that we can show our actual true burden of disease here in Illinois.” The number of people hospitalized for COVID-19 in Illinois grew to 4,090, setting a second-wave high for the 12th straight day. Intensive care unit beds in-use increased by 14 from the day prior to 786 as of Thursday night, while ventilators in use by COVID-19 patients decreased by four from a day prior to 339. The statewide seven-day rolling average case positivity rate shot up to 9.7 percent, tying its highest point since May 20. Pritzker once again said further economic rollbacks could be on the horizon if the spread of COVID doesn’t slow, although he was once again not specific as to what they could entail. “The only way that science has told us that we can limit the number of cases or the epidemiological spread of the disease is by having less interaction and less interaction means cutting off people’s ability to interact in various places,” the governor said.
