Trial of Roger Carroll underway Opening statements made; Nathan Carroll testifies By JARAD JARMON Jersey County Journal The trial of Roger Carroll, a Jerseyville resident who is accused of the murder of Bonnie Woodward, is now underway almost a decade after the alleged incident took place. Following a selection of the jury Monday, prosecutors started laying out their case against Carroll, bringing to the stand police investigators, Carroll’s son, Woodward’s son, Woodward’s boyfriend, and a co-worker said to have been the last one to see Woodward before she died. Ahead of the testimony, the prosecution and the defense made their cases for and against the charges facing Car-

roll. In their opening statement, Madison County Assistant State's Attorney Crystal Uhe on behalf of the prosecution laid out to the jury what Carroll was charged with and ensured that the evidence would corroborate what has already been said about the case. As previously reported, Carroll was accused of and was charged in relation to luring Woodward to his car outside of Eunice Smith Nursing Home in Alton on June 25, 2010. He then allegedly took Woodward to his property in rural Jersey County where the prosecution alleges he shot Woodward several times with a Stoeger Cougar 9mm pistol. Carroll allegedly then burned Wood-

ROGER CARROLL ward’s body over a series of several days. In her opening statement, Uhe touched on many of the points they set to address over the course of the trial. That would include Woodward’s attendance and subsequent disappearance after the day Car-

roll allegedly murdered her, alleged sightings of Carroll stalking her and her place of business. Uhe noted in regard to “remains” found on his property that “human sources could not be excluded.” The prosecution also plans to include testimony from Nathan Carroll, Roger’s son, who was said to have been involved in the alleged cover-up of her death. During his opening statement, Attorney David Fahrenkamp on behalf of the defense stressed there were “holes” in the case made against Carroll and that the evidence would reflect that. Fahrenkamp said the defense will bring up that Bonnie’s co-workers did not identify Carroll at her work.

He also said the evidence will show that the bone fragments reportedly found are not that of Bonnie’s and that they could have come from a number of sources. His opening statement also addressed what the defense considers a flaw in the fingerprinting, noting that fingerprints can’t be dated. One of the longer portions of testimony Tuesday came from Nathan who testified to his involvement in the murder, or more specifically the events before and after the alleged incident. Special Prosecuter Jennifer Mudge called Nathan to the stand. Nathan was 16 at the time of the alleged murder. He was questioned on his time (See, CARROLL, A2)

Jerseyville moving forward on State Street resurfacing By JARAD JARMON Jersey County Journal It has been several weeks since the curb-to-curb resurfacing of State Street was last addressed, and Tuesday, action was taken to move forward on the project with the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT). The resurfacing project, anticipated to start in August, includes the mulling and resurfacing of an approximately 5-mile stretch of road, notably going through State Street, a major business corridor in Jerseyville. The IDOT project is planned to stretch from Crystal Lake Road north to Fulkerson Drive. The project was last addressed at a Jerseyville City Council meeting in January when the commissioners authorized Jerseyville Public Works Director Bob Manns to submit a written response to IDOT to proceed with the US 67 resurfacing project and to maintain the current striping plan for

the segment of the project from Carpenter Street north to Spruce Street. The striping was a point of contention among business owners in the area when the consideration was proposed to do the resurfacing and choose a plan that would remove angled parking on the street. In their Tuesday meeting, Jerseyville City Council members voted to OK IDOT paperwork related to the project including the agreement between the city and IDOT, a resolution approving the plans and a appropriation of motor fuel tax funding. They also OK’d city leaders to sign associated paperwork. Manns said this was the next step to move forward on the project. As part of the agreement, Manns confirmed the plans have specifications to retain the current striping along that downtown strip on State Street. (See, RESURFACING, A3)

Jersey County Board hears concern over Connect America Fund By CONNOR ASHLOCK Jersey County Journal The county board met Tuesday evening amid a larger-than-normal crowd to hear reports and proposals from government entities in the county. Chris Reynolds, a concerned citizen, addressed the board inquiring about the Connect America Fund. His inquiry concerned whether or not the board had any contact with Rodney Davis’ office about the fund. Reynolds, along with others in the southeastern sector of the county, has been experiencing issues with unreliable wireless service. Chairman Little said he will look into the matter on behalf of Reynolds. Amanda Cole with the University of Illinois Extension was the first slated individual to speak before the board. Cole brought two items before the board’s attention: renewing the lease for office space from the county at 201 W Exchange St. and seeking the board’s agreement for its annual contribution to the U of I Extension service for their local activities in the area. Both action items were approved. Cole also reported to the board that her office received their fiscal year 2019 matching funds from the state and 50 percent of FY20 matching funds. The Illinois fiscal year ends in June. Following Amanda Cole’s comments, Jersey Board member Jarrod Hayes presented a proposal to the board calling for a permit program for UTV vehicles in the county. After brief discussion into the matter, it was decided to table the idea until a later date after more information can be obtained. Lacy Miller with Tri-County Rural Transit was next on the agenda to speak to the board.

She requested permission to submit four separate documents to the Illinois Department of Transportation to continue the program in the tri-county area. Miller reported that the program has greatly increased and benefitted the people in this region. Last year, the program provided 22,170 rides to 485 individuals. She is waiting approval to purchase three more vehicles and the program has increased their hours from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. Miller also reported that her staff has increased from 13 persons to 19 persons. The Road and Bridge Committee petitioned for aid to replace a pipe culvert in English Township. Motion was made and carried. Building and Grounds Committee reported that it met with Trane, an HVAC vendor, concerning the jail and courthouse. The committee agreed to send out requests for proposals from three different vendors. At a Feb. 18 meeting of the Building and Grounds Committee, they recommended to approve to award Grafton Material Services Inc. a contract to demolish a building on county property. The same committee also recommended approval to accept sealed bids to demolish a mobile home on county property in Spankey. The committee also recommended to approve a fee of $100 to be implemented for variance applications through the county code office, which was approved.

Floods expected, but not Duxtrac as bad as last year

By CONNOR ASHLOCK Jersey County Journal Gene Breden, emergency services coordinator for Calhoun County and floodplain coordinator for the Village of Hardin, recently received a briefing from the National Weather Service (NWS) concerning the upcoming flood season. “The briefing on flood possibilities was very vague and the NWS did not draw any definite conclusions,” Breden said. “All they’re saying is that there’s a good possibility there’s going to be a flood, but a small chance that it’s going to be as bad as last year’s.” Though a flood as rare as last year’s is not anticipated, Breden reminds locals that there is no sure way of determining expected flood levels. “We’ll just have to play it week by week and see what happens,” he said.

Rain levels for the month of March are expected to be a little above average, but precipitation in our area as well as north of the region must be taken into consideration. “It looks like it will be the third week in March where we’ll possibly see some flooding,” Breden noted. “A lot of the flooding will be caused by the snow melt up north, but of course, it depends on how much it rains,” he said. Breden also had some information concerning the Nutwood levee. “What they’re saying about the Nutwood levee is that they had built a temporary copper dam and they hope that it holds,” Breden said. “But, there’s no guarantee that it’ll hold because it’s made out of sheet plastic and rock, and it’s the same height as the levee.” “The ability for the dam to hold is determined by the amount of water pressure pushing against it. The higher the water gets, the harder it’s going to be to hold it back.”

Carroll

(Continued from A1) growing up with his father, where he testified that they were “very close.” Questioning then lead to the days and weeks leading up to the incident, when Heather Woodward, Bonnie’s stepdaughter was addressed. According to testimony, Heather Woodward lived with the Carroll’s at the behest of Roger in the weeks leading up to the alleged murder. Heather needed to stay with them until she was 18, because “she didn’t want to go home,” Nathan said. Nathan said his father had spoken about Bonnie before, calling her a bad person and that she was aggressive and abusive. Roger said, “she needed to go away” according to Nathan’s testimony. Mudge then directed the questions to a trip to Goreville said to be the week before Bonnie went missing. Roger, Monica, Nathan’s mother, and Heather made a visit to Goreville. While in Goreville, comments around Bonnie escalated. Nathan testified that Roger said, “she needed to die” referring to Bonnie. Nathan noted that he tried to convince him otherwise. It was said that the two left Goreville, passing by Bonnie’s work to their rural home. There, Roger Carroll took a shower, shaved, clipped nails, picked out clothes including a camouflage hat and sunglasses and blue jeans before loading a gun then leaving at approximately 1:30 p.m. “This has got to happen whether you like it or not,” Nathan testified his father saying before leaving. Roger told Nathan he then lured Bonnie to his vehicle saying that he had her daughter, according to Nathan’s testimony. When Roger returned, Nathan was at the table in the Carroll home eating a sandwich when he heard gunshots, 8 or 9, according to his statements. Nathan came out to see feet but nothing more than that at the time because his father directed him not too, stating it was “ugly.”

Roger then got their tractor with a bucket frontloader and picked up the body to a brush pile on their property, according to testimony. Nathan said he saw a body in the front-loader but not a face. Nathan also said he then lit a fire at the pile with accelerant at the request of his father, and Roger then dropped the body onto the pile. Nathan then smashed Bonnie’s phone and threw it on the fire. Nathan testified there was also a wallet with cash that Roger considered taking but commented that “this is not a robbery.” They then both changed their clothes and threw their clothes during the course of those events on the fire, according to the testimony. Later, Nathan testified that Heather was quizzed on what to say to police and that Roger told him to “try not to talk when speaking with police.” Later, Mudge questioned Nathan on his testimony, noting that his account of the events changed in recent years. Mudge asked why Nathan did not tell the “truth” until now. Nathan said he “wanted to protect his dad.” During cross-examination, the defense examined Nathan’s commitment to protecting his dad and asked questions regarding his clothing, the access Nathan had to the front loader, Nathan breaking Bonnie’s phone and the brass casings that Nathan helped his father clean up. Nathan also answered questions regarding his future, agreeing with the defense when they suggested Nathan was concerned about his future, namely how it would affect his schooling. The trial concluded with April’s testimony. April worked with Bonnie at Eunice Smith Nursing Home and saw Bonnie the day that she was said to have disappeared. April shared that Bonnie always ended her shift at 2 p.m. while she always ended hers at 3 p.m. April walked within 10 feet past Bonnie and a man she was talking to June 25, 2010, according to her tes-

timony. April said Bonnie was in her truck, and the man was leaning along her truck with his elbows on the window ledge. April could not see the face of the man, but could see the side of his face and could discern that the man did not have facial hair. April shared that she was having car problems that day and when her car didn’t start, she thought it was strange that neither Bonnie nor the man talking to her did not turn around to see if she needed help. When April was shown a photo lineup of suspects, she pointed to photo no. 1 because the face on the side was similar to the side profile image of photo no. 1, according to her testimony. The defense then noted in trial that Carroll was photo no. 4 and asked April to verify that, which she did. April further stressed that she only saw the side of the man’s face. April also shared that she did see a four-door silver vehicle that could have possibly been a Malibu in the parking lot. The trial was set to continue Wednesday at 8 a.m. at the Jersey County Courthouse. The defense is set to present their case in the following days. This report covers what has transpired in first day of the trial. The continuing trial will be covered in future articles. This article includes information gathered by Connor Ashlock.

(Continued from A1) with leaving it at that, though. It wasn’t in his nature. “Ever since I was a kid, I was always tinkering with stuff. I would take stuff apart just to see how it worked,” he said. “… Nobody had something on the market that I needed, so I just had to make it myself.” So, the self-proclaimed tinkerer at heart went to work in his home workshop, toiling away at options and ideas that might give him an edge. “I was trying to come up with something to kill more ducks than the guys next to me,” Mager said. After some time and testing, Mager developed his own animated duck decoy — a rail system pulling ducks along a belt that would be hidden underwater. In essence, his machine made his decoy ducks appear to be swimming in seemingly random patterns. He figured out what he needed, and with trial runs found success reflected by swelling harvests during duck season, to the point where friends and family urged him to move forward with his invention and sell it. And so, Duxtrac, the business, was born. In the five years since he started the business, he went through thousands of iterations, fine tuning the device to what exists today. The device spreads out into a cross in the water with four decoys on each arm of the cross. In the middle of all of this, two decoys connected by string are pulled along a belt that is hidden under the water. “The biggest thing for me with the Duxtrac machine was being able to take an electric motor and being able to put it underwater

and make it run — and also making it durable enough or reliable enough to make it run for a long time,” Mager said. Over the years, the tinkerer found himself continually tweaking the device to fit his high standards. “I do care about this product, and I always have,” he said. “The last thing I wanted was for these things to fail, because I did not want people mad at me… I would lay awake at night wondering and worrying.” He sought to make the device — for lack of a better term — bulletproof. To ensure this, he put his invention through its paces, submerging his device for months, throwing it in the freezer and on his vehicle in the heat of summer. In the time since its inception, Mager found confidence in his machine, ensuring a low fail rate. Today, Mager, along with his fiancé, Angie Laird, sell Duxtrac at trade shows and online. In his time in business, he has sold hundreds of units. “I am proud that even after five years, we are still in business,” Mager said. For Mager, that spoke to the strength of the product — a product he said would not have been possible without the help from

those family and friends that helped make the product and the business what it is today — namely Kenny and Steven Friedel, who made contributions to the design. Mager said assembling the product is a collective effort between himself in Jersey County and the two Friedels in Calhoun. Specifically, Kenny and Steven build the motor heads. Today, Mager and his crew are growing the business side of the Duxtrac now that the design has been solidified. Although he has already secured a trademark and copyright, he said he is also seeking a patent for his invention. That is not keeping him from tinkering in the shop, though. A recent addition to his Duxtrac system a new Dipper Tail system simulates a duck dipping into the water for food. Mager has made it clear the Duxtrac system is not the end for his tinkering and that the ducks in the area will have to gain a keener eye to what may or may not be an actual duck in the water come duck season — that or convince the hunters that it’s actually rabbit season.

Concerns (Continued from A1) prehensive economic development strategy (CEDS) document updates, the council replied that it is doubtful. Chairman Little also learned that the WCDC was no longer processing community development block grants due to lack of qualified personnel on their staff.

Resurfacing (Continued from A1) Also in the agreement, two provisions were made to ease the burden construction will take on residents and business owners. One stipulates that the city will be notified of the scheduled phases the contractor plans to do the resurfacing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Those had to do with some of the commitments to the downtown area and our public to make sure they had proper notification,â&#x20AC;? Manns said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So, they will at least give us two weeks notification as they do the project in phases so we know when they are going to

start, and we communicate with everybody downtown.â&#x20AC;? The other provision ensures traffic flow will be maintained throughout the project. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That is in everybodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s interest. We did not want to shutdown from curb to curb,â&#x20AC;? Manns said. The project is estimated to cost $5.8 million with a city share of $158,893. The city has to cover a portion of work on parking lanes as part of the agreement with IDOT to resurface the road. The city share will be covered with motor fuel tax monies.

During portions of the project, parking is expected to be closed off in the downtown strip, but is not expected to be closed off for the duration of the four-month-long project. Manns indicated this work specifically on the downtown section could be done in 2-4 weeks, but the duration of the work depends on a host of variables including the weather and the contractor selected for the project. Ahead of the resurfacing work, Manns confirmed work on another project, the Americans with Disabilities Act

(ADA) sidewalk project, that is set to continue in the coming weeks. He said the project is planned to conclude before work starts on the resurfacing. When the resurfacing is complete, the street is set to look the same â&#x20AC;&#x201D; striping and all â&#x20AC;&#x201D; but this is only temporary. It was stressed previously that this project was only a band-aid. When complete reconstruction, which includes tearing up the base and surface level of the road, is required, angled parking is not on the table. Manns said current IDOT regulations do not allow

for angled parking. Also during the meeting: Q Commissioners authorized the sale of a truck intended for use by the water and sewer department. With the sale of the water and sewer operations in the city, officials are hoping to sell the truck at or near the cost they initially purchased the truck at. It had not been used as the purchase was made a couple years ago, and delivery prevented the city from using it until now. Q The approval for the Public Works Department to move forward with contract nego-

Don’t freak out, but take Coronavirus seriously

The Issue: More cases of Coronavirus are cropping up Our View: People should not be hysterical, but should prepare

Southern Group Regional Manager Linda Schaake accounting@campbellpublications.net circulation@campbellpublications.net

t is fair to say that COVID-19, more colloquially referred to as Coronavirus, has hit a tipping point in the country recently — to the point where it is less about containment and more about mitigation.

In the wake of these slowly growing number of cases, we urge residents, especially those older individuals, to not be frenzied by the news, buying all of the masks and soap a shopping cart can fill, but also to take this spread seriously. From what health officials are saying, people should be safe and prepared when it comes to COVID-19, an illness that can be dangerous especially for vulnerable populations like that elderly and one that has appeared close to home. Just recently, the Centers for Disease Control confirmed the woman from St. Louis County who had a “presumptive positive” case of coronavirus did test positive for the virus. Also too, Illinois health officials on Tuesday announced the first cases of coronavirus illness in people outside Cook County. A McHenry County resident in his late teens and a Kane County woman in her 60s are likely the state’s first cases of “community spread.” The two community spread cases are among eight new cases of the illness known as COVID19 that officials announced Tuesday during a news conference in Chicago, bringing Illinois’ total to 19. In light of this news, we urge residents to heed the advice of health officials regarding the matter. The World Health Organization is advising people to: Q Wash your hands frequently to kill viruses that may be on your hands Q Maintain social distancing, meaning staying at least 3 feet from anyone who is coughing or sneezing. Q Avoid touching eyes, nose and mouth because hands touch many surfaces and can pick up viruses that can to those places upon contact. Q Practice respiratory hygiene, meaning covering your mouth and nose with your bent elbow or tissue when you cough or sneeze. Q Seek medical care early if you have fever, cough and difficulty breathing Q Stay informed on the latest developments about COVID-19. We see these as simple steps to preventing the spread in our community — steps people should view as imperative. Residents need to take these safety measures as a moral and social duty to fellow residents in the area, because neglect upon the feet of the community could prove dangerous to select populations in the area. Thankfully, others in the community are undertaking efforts to spread this message of health safety — namely the Jersey County Health Department and the Partners in Progress. It was recently announced that Partners in Progress has been working to inform employers about the virus, advising them to do things like encouraging sick employees to stay home and separating sick employees from other employees. We applaud these efforts and any others in the community looking to keep the community healthy. Because, should a hand touch the wrong counter or should a resident stand next to the wrong person, it could mean the virus that seemed like a distant worry only for the people of China is now an intimate threat the people in our community.

Jersey County had connections to California Gold Rush W

hen gold was discovered in California in 1848, “gold fever” quickly spread across the nation. The stories of a modern-day Eldorado proved irresistible for Jersey County resident John Arnspiger, and in March 1849, he bid farewell to his wife and nine children to find his fortune. Accompanying him were his young unmarried son Andrew and son-in-law, Abraham Houser, who left behind a wife, Barbara, and four daughters under the age of 8. Preparing for the five-month, 2,000-mile trip was no small undertaking. According to Henry Page, another Jersey County resident, preparation was a family affair. Females sewed and knitted clothes, pared and cut apples to dry, and decided what preserves could be spared for the journey. Beef was dried and pork pickled and smoked for the journey. The Arnspiger trio were part of the Greene and Jersey County Company. The Jerseyville group included 15 wagons under the command of Captain Augustus R. Knapp. Early on May 1, 1849, the group rolled out of St. Joseph. The 2,000-mile journey to California was underway. The sight and sounds of the wagon train leaving the city must have been an amazing sight; several men described in detail how the line of wagons stretched for miles as they left St. Joseph. The Arnspiger group had two wagons, each equipped with eight yoke of cattle; a horse; 1,400 pounds of flour; 308 pounds of bacon; one sack each of coffee, sugar and dried fruit; 50 pounds of rice; salaratus (a predecessor of baking soda); three guns, ammunition and a keg of powder. The first few days must have been frustrating, as muddy trails slowed the company to a pace of eight miles a day. Abraham later noted in his diary that these were the worst trails they encoun-

tered on the trip. Guest Column As the trail BY BETH MCGLASSON improved, so did the distance covered, and soon the company was averaging 18 miles a day, except on Sundays, when they usually rested to observe the Sabbath. On May 24, the crew encountered bad weather. Joseph Hackney wrote (verbatim): “This has been one of the worst days that we have experienced since we left St. Joseph. It commenced raining as soon as we left camp and rained all day. We passed Fort Childs [now known as Fort Kearney] at noon. ... Thear is nothing hear now but a few mud huts but theay are a going to build a regular fort. Thear is two company of regular stationed hear. We took the wrong road at the fort and had to go through a number of swamps.” After passing Fort Childs, the group followed the Platte River up to Ash Hollow in Nebraska. After traversing the grassy rolling hills north of Ogallala, Neb., the company faced their first major challenge: navigating Windlass Hill. To make the descent, wagon wheels were locked and ropes were used to lower the wagons down the 300-foot, 14% grade. Standing atop Windlass Hill today, visitors can see three sets of ruts carved on the opposite hill by wagons in the 1800s. Once the group had conquered their first challenge, they rested in the beautiful fertile valley known as Ash Hollow. Next week, we’ll examine the next leg of the group’s journey to the gold fields of California. –––––––––––––––––––––––––– Q Beth McGlasson is a history buff and vice president of the Jersey County Historical Society.

Should we bring back the death penalty in Illinois

andy Gori, a prominent lawyer in Madison County, was brutally murdered two months ago at his home in Edwardsville. I knew him, but not very well. Those who knew him better than I universally praised his generosity and commitment to the community. The details of the murder were particularly gruesome and fortunately have not been released to the general public. The suspect was promptly arrested after the murder and is in jail awaiting trial. There is plenty of evidence to suggest this murder was premeditated. Tom Gibbons, the States Attorney of Madison County, laments the fact that there is no death penalty in Illinois anymore. Initially, he considered getting the US Attorney to prosecute the case under federal law, because the death penalty still exists under federal law, but he now appears resigned to proceed in state court. So how is it that we no longer have a death penalty in Illinois? The history on this issue is one that, frankly, is convoluted. Illinois had a death penalty until 1972, when in the case of Furman vs. Georgia, the US Supreme Court held that the imposition of the death penalty violated the Eighth Amendment to the US Constitution, which prohibits cruel and unusual punishment; the Court went on to hold that all death penalty statutes were therefore unconstitutional if they did not have specific legislative safeguards. In response to that decision, the Illinois legislature enacted new legislation to conform to the requirements of the Furman decision, thereby reinstating the death penalty as of July 1, 1974. That legislation remained in effect until January 31, 2000, when Governor George Ryan took it upon himself to impose a ten year moratorium on death penalties in Illinois. At the same time, he appointed a commission to study the issue of whether innocent persons were being executed and what could be done to prevent that from happening going forward. Without question, there had been recent situations in which individual defendants in Illinois had been coerced by police into giving confessions when in fact they were innocent. When Governor Ryan created the commission, he indicated that he would reinstate the death penalty if adequate reforms, as recommended by the commission, could be imposed. That reinstatement never occurred. In fact, on January 11, 2003, before leaving office, Governor Ryan commuted the sentences of all 167 defendants still on death row in Illinois prisons. Governor Ryan’s moratorium remained in effect after Ryan left office and lasted until March 9, 2011, when Governor Pat Quinn signed legislation officially terminating the death penalty once and for all in Illinois. During his term in office, Governor Bruce Rauner made an attempt to reinstate the death penalty. This attempt was motivated by recent increases in mass shootings, serial killings, excessive gun violence and, at the same time, improvements in criminal investigations—including the use of DNA to more accurately resolve these cases. His

proposed legislaer tion would have Ridge Runn S reinstated the E L C CHRONI death penalty in Guest Column those limited sitBY BILL HOAGLAND uations in which more than one person had been murdered by the same person, or the situation in which the victim was a police officer, firefighter or a child. His efforts to get this legislation passed were unsuccessful. At this point, it seems highly unlikely that the death penalty will ever be reinstated in Illinois, even though one Illinois legislator, Representative David McSweeney, has introduced legislation that would reinstate the death penalty; there is minimal support for this bill and it is unlikely to even get out of committee. As it stands, 19 states now ban the death penalty and Colorado is about to ban it as well. Even at the federal level, there is pending legislation— cosponsored, incidentally, by Senator Dick Durbin-to end the federal death penalty altogether. According to recent polls, more than 60% of those polled nationwide favor termination of the death penalty. I guess I fall into the minority on this issue. I can’t help but believe that the death penalty is still an effective deterrent. The mere existence of a possible death sentence has induced some criminals to plead guilty to a lesser offense when the prosecution had evidentiary problems and would not have obtained a conviction without a plea agreement. (A case in point was the conviction of Ted Kaczynski, the “Unabomber”, who over a period of years, killed three people, maimed many more and even tried unsuccessfully to bomb a commercial airline loaded with passengers. If the possibility of a death sentence had not been there, he would not have pled guilty and the prosecution could not have convicted him because the critical evidence against him was obtained without a search warrant; without the threat of a death sentence to induce him to accept life imprisonment, he could be on the street today perhaps planting more bombs—who knows?) As to the argument that an innocent defendant might be executed if the death penalty were retained, that possibility seems to be much, much less likely to happen with the investigative technology we have today. In addition, investigations are now closely supervised to avoid coerced confessions. But more than anything else, the fact that one person could massacre hundreds of people with no possibility of the death penalty for his actions just makes no sense to me. ––––––––––––––––––– 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.

JERSEY COUNTY JOURNAL

Jerseyville, Illinois

2019 Jersey County tentative multiplier announced Jersey County has been issued a tentative 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 â&#x20AC;&#x153;multiplier,â&#x20AC;? is the method used to achieve uniform property assessments among counties, as required by law. This equalization is particularly important because some of the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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. State law requires property in Illinois to be assessed at one-third of its market value. Farm property is assessed differently, with

farm homesites and dwellings subject to regular assessing and equalization procedures, but with farmland and farm buildings assessed according to standards based on productivity. The equalization factor is determined annually for each county by comparing the sales 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 market value, the equalization factor will be one. If the average level of assessment is greater than one-third of market value, the equalization factor will be less than one. And if the average level of assessment is less than

one-third of market value, the equalization factor will be greater than one. Assessments in Jersey County are at 33.14 percent of market value, based on sales of properties in 2016, 2017 and 2018. The equalization factor currently being assigned is for 2019 taxes, payable in 2020. Last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s equalization factor for the county was 1.0000 . The tentative factor is subject to change if the County Board of Review takes actions which significantly affect the county assessments or if local officials or others can present data showing that the Department of Revenueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s estimates of the average level of assessments in the county should be adjusted. A public hearing on the tentative multiplier will be held between 20

and 30 days after the tentative factor is published in a newspaper of general circulation within the county. 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. If the amount requested by local taxing districts is not greater than the amount received in the previous year, then total property taxes will not increase even if assessments may have increased. The assessed value of an individual property determines what portion of the tax burden a specific taxpayer will assume. That individualâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s portion of tax responsibility is not changed by the multiplier.

Floods expected, but not as bad as last year By CONNOR ASHLOCK Jersey County Journal Gene Breden, emergency services coordinator for Calhoun County and floodplain coordinator for the Village of Hardin, recently received a briefing from the National Weather Service (NWS) concerning the upcoming flood season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The briefing on flood possibilities was very vague and the NWS did not draw any definite conclusions,â&#x20AC;? Breden said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re saying is that thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good possibility thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be a flood, but a small chance that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be as bad as last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s.â&#x20AC;?

Though a flood as rare as last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s is not anticipated, Breden reminds locals that there is no sure way of determining expected flood levels. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll just have to play it week by week and see what happens,â&#x20AC;? he said. Rain levels for the month of March are expected to be a little above average, but precipitation in our area as well as north of the region must be taken into consideration. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It looks like it will be the third week in March where weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll possibly see some flooding,â&#x20AC;? Breden noted. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A lot of the flooding will be caused by the snow melt up north, but of course,

JCH named a Top 100 rural, community hospital Jersey Community Hospital (JCH) announced it has been named a 2020 Top 100 Rural & Community Hospital by The Chartis Center for Rural Health. This annual award honoring rural hospital performance is determined by the results of iVantage Health Analyticsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Hospital Strength index, which is celebrating its tenth anniversary in 2020. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our daily goal at JCH is not only to provide care to our community, but to provide the very best care possible. By being nationally recognized as a Top 100 Rural & Community Hospital as well as a 5 Star hospital by CMS, JCH has shown that we are achieving this goal. We have the very best staff in place to continue to provide the excellent care our patients and their families deserve.â&#x20AC;? Beth King, Interim CEO of Jersey Community Hospital, said. Based entirely on publicly available data, the index is the industryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most comprehensive and objective assessment of rural hospital performance. Utilizing 50 independent indicators, the

index assesses performance across eight pillars of performance that span market-, value- and finance-based categories. Hospitals recognized as a Top 100 facility had one of the 100 highest overall scores among all Rural & Community Hospitals nationally. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Top 100 Rural & Community Hospital award program reminds us that rural providers havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t lost touch with their mission and are committed to delivering better quality, better outcomes and better patient satisfaction. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a pleasure to be able to not only recognize this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recipients, but our larger group of top 100 alumni as we celebrate 10 years of The Hospital Strength INDEX,â&#x20AC;? said Michael Topchik, National Leader, The Chartis Center for Rural Health.

News items from the pages of Jersey County Journal

5 Years Ago March 11, 2015 Work is underway to replace a city block worth of buildings with one national retailer. Developers started demolishing the five structures on the block located at the northwest corner of the intersection of State and Carpenter streets at the end of February. If all goes to plan, a new CVS store will be open for business in September, according to the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s director of public relations, Michael DeAngelis. The municipal share of state income taxes could be slashed by half if a proposal from Gov. Bruce Rauner were to be approved. Jersey County Board Chairman Don Little said he attended a County Board Association meeting last weekend with other county officials throughout the state. Information provided indicated Illinois counties could see a cut to their funding as part of a proposal from Rauner to fix the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unfunded pension liability. A passionate committee of Grafton locals aim to have the restoration of a historic rail bus replica completed by the end of the year with help from fundraisers and volunteers. The Do Drop Inn will host the next fundraiser, March 15 at 2 p.m., for the Dinky, a rail bus that transported passengers to and from Alton and Grafton in the early and mid-1900s. It also carried mail to those communities and residents of Calhoun County.

10 Years Ago March 10, 2010 A Jerseyville man was taken into custody Friday, March 5 and charged with two counts of aggravated battery to a child. Robert J. Hill, 22, of the 300 block of Dorothy Street in Jerseyville, was apprehended and is currently being held in the Jersey County Jail on $100,000 bond. Several alleged drug dealers got a rude awakening in the early hours of Friday morning as law enforcement agencies from Jersey and Greene counties joined forces and dealt a stiff blow to the illegal drug trade. Jersey County Stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Attorney Ben Goetten said that on Friday, March 5, authorities from the South Central Illinois Drug Task Force, Greene County Drug Task Force, Greene and Jersey county sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s departments and Carrollton and Jerseyville city police departments made several arrests on warrants from charges of delivering drugs ranging from heroin and ecstasy to prescription drugs. The economic crisis in Illinois may impact Jersey County government soon, Chairman Pam Heitzig warned board members Tuesday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As of Feb. 25 the state was $426,668 behind in payments. The latest information is that we will only receive 10 months of public defenderâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s reimbursement, six months of supervisor of assessmentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; reimbursement, but we will receive 12 months of stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s attorney reimbursement,â&#x20AC;? Heitzig said.

it depends on how much it rains,â&#x20AC;? he said. Breden also had some information concerning the Nutwood levee. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re saying about the Nutwood levee is that they had built a temporary copper dam and they hope that it holds,â&#x20AC;? Breden said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no guarantee that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll hold because itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s made out of sheet plastic and rock, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the same height as the levee.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;The ability for the dam to hold is determined by the amount of water pressure pushing against it. The higher the water gets, the harder itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be to hold it back.â&#x20AC;?

Program to offer fundraising opportunity to local youth

For the sixth year in a row, youth-focused organizations in the Jerseyarea can earn up to $1,000 through U.S. Cellularâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Community Connections program. Whether itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a Little League baseball team, high school debate team, marching band, youth cheer squad or a variety of other groups, organizers can sign their group up at uscellular.com/communityconnections to start earning sponsorship support without the need to sell candy bars, wash cars or sell coupon books. Once registered, local non-profit academic and

athletic groups representing youth up to 12th grade have 14 days to rally their friends, families and supporters to complete online activities that include taking short surveys, watching videos or following U.S. Cellular on its social channels. Each completed activity earns money that goes directly to the organization â&#x20AC;&#x201C; up to $1,000 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and the website makes it easy to spread the word on social media. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Six years ago, we decided that in addition to sponsoring college and professional sports teams across the country, we wanted to support youth programs

that provide kids in Illinois with fun and meaningful experiences every day,â&#x20AC;? Nakeita Stewart, director of sales for U.S. Cellular in Illinois said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We know there are several groups in need of financial support, and by investing in them we can help ensure that all kids get a fair shot to achieve their goals.â&#x20AC;? Since launching the program in 2015, U.S. Cellular has awarded $1.4 million to nearly 3,000 groups nationwide.
