THEATER REVIEW | TIMBER LAKE PLAYHOUSE

BY SUE LANGENBERGFor Sauk Valley Media

After the opening show of the season at Timber Lake Playhouse, “Gypsy” enjoyed a most rousing run of “Gypsy,” the next in line, “Having Our Say, The Delany Sisters’ First 100 Years,” opened Thursday evening. The dramatic, entertaining and inspiring play reaches deeply into our American history through the eyes of two remarkable women.

The play by Emily Mann began as a New York Times article by reporter Amy Hill Hearth in the early ‘90s. The article was quickly picked up to explore further into a book. The book skyrocketed to bestseller lists for 105 weeks, then was turned into the Broadway play and a CBS television film. Hearth could not have known the treasures that she had uncovered when she knocked on their door in Mount Vernon, New York.

The women, Sadie and Bessie Delany, had already passed the 100-year mark as they divulged their century of experience with passion, humor and, often, sadness. Daughters of a slave, they were proud, strong and deeply rooted in lessons of the Lord. We in the audience are guests in their modest abode as their oral history unfolds. They often speak in a loving unison, but then snap towels in huffy arguments.

They take us through the good, bad and, frankly, cringe-worthy events of our perceived shared 20th century history. Most of us learned it in school from books, bored or not; the Delany sisters experienced it firsthand. At the advent of the Jim Crow laws with separate restrooms, drinking fountains and all else to force people of color away, the sisters moved northbound for New York, where Bessie became a dentist and Sadie obtained her master’s degree in education. Both accomplishments did not come without racial

adversity there, either.From then on, the sisters

stood, marched, empathized with every cause including women’s rights and their vote, the stock market crash, Great Depression, post-war, civil rights and every strife known to the century of greatest change.All while watching their parents, eight siblings and even the following generation die off until no one was left but them and their memories.

Young TLP actors Shayla Brielle and Jenia Head take on the enormity of the work in this play.Not only do they carry the heavy burden of an entire script, line by line, action by action, emotion

by emotion, they take on the roles of centenarians who can hardly be imagined by two youthful performers who will sing and dance their way through rest of the TLP season with innocence and energy.

Last TLP season, Brielle was a powerhouse of energy as Dynamite in “Hairspray,” while Head performed previous roles in “Pluto Was a Planet,” and “Fame the Musical” at Illinois

Wesleyan University.Their extraordinary

transformation into the roles of Sadie and Bessie is largely due to Chuck Smith, who has earned himself much admiration at TLP in his 15th year as a guest director from Chicago. Under his gentle but effective lead, Smith has pulled out a delicate blend of the slowness with shuffling and moseying,

and the feistiness and spirit within; a remarkable communication to otherwise hot-to-trot young actors. Smith also is fortunate to have seen the Broadway play of “Having Our Say.”

Tucker Topel as set designer uses the TLP rotating set and also places a most effective overhead of classy picture frames that focus actual photos of family and events.

‘Having Our Say’ says a lot at Timber Lake

“Having Our Say: The Delany Sisters’ First 100 Years,” based on the New York Times best-selling memoir, runs through Saturday. Directed by Chuck Smith of the Chicago Goodman Theatre, the play features resident performers Jenia Head (left) of Detroit, Michigan (Miss Sadie Delany) and Shayla Brielle G. of Cin-cinnati, Ohio (Dr. Bessie Delany).

CARROLL COUNTY HEALTH DEPARTMENT

BY LYNNETTE FORTHFor Prairie Advocate

MOUNT CARROLL – Disasters can happen at any time, anywhere, to anyone, but rest assured that if the unthinkable happens in Carroll County, we are protected.

Last week, the Illinois Department of Public Health conducted a statewide drill, required once every 2 years, to test the ability of the public health system to receive and distribute medical supplies and life-saving medication in the event of a shortage caused by an emergency. If an event like an influenza

outbreak, tornado, earthquake, terrorism attack, flooding, or even anthrax would occur, the state has a plan in place.

The Strategic National Stock Pile is a national repository of antibiotics, chemical antidotes, anti-toxins, life support medication, airway maintenance supplies, and medical/surgical items. This plan is designed to supplement and re-supply state and public local health agencies in the event of a national emergency.

On June 14, local health department officials along with members of the state

Department of Public Health, Illinois Emergency Management Agency, the National Guard, Illinois State Police, and Illinois Department of Transportation, participated in an anthrax emergency scenario.

“This was a two day exercise. On the first day we practiced dispensing medication. The State of Illinois uses the Department of Transportation, and the National Guard to load up the medications. The Illinois Department of Public Health uses this type of drill to test the ability of the system,” said Craig

Beintema, Carroll County public health administrator.

On Tuesday, an announcement was put out over the network stating an anthrax outbreak had been declared.

“We then give the amount of needed medication to the Emergency Management Agency who then sends that number to the state. The state wraps up pallets of the pretend medication, and personnel from the DOT drive the supplies with a police escort to the Stephenson County Highway Department.

MORRISON

Work continues on the new wastewater treatment plant off of state Route 78 in Morrison. The City Council voted June 13 to approve a $3.2 million bid that will put in the pipes and pumps to eventually bring sewage from the present plant to the new location. (Photo submitted)

BY JERMAINE PIGEESauk Valley Media

[email protected], ext. 5525

MORRISON – With a unanimous vote and a $3.2 million bid, the City Council moved the final phase of the new wastewater treatment plant forward June 13.

The council voted to approve a bid from Freeport-based Civil Constructors to undertake a sanitary sewer project.

“They approved the pipes and pumps needed to get all the sewage from the present treatment plant to the new location,” City Administrator Barry Dykhuizen said.

Project manager Shawn Ortgiesen said early estimates had the job costing upwards of $4.8 million.

“We got some really good bids and we are happy about that,” he said, noting that Civil Constructors has done

work elsewhere in the city, on Wall Street, “and they have done a good job.”

Ground was broken on the first phase of the project Dec. 10 on the west side of state Route 78. Since then, crews have been working almost non-stop, Mayor Everett Pannier recently said.

The scheduled completion date for the $18 million plant is August 2017.

The city will use a loan from the Illinois Environmental Protection

Agency to pay for the project. The 20-year-loan, with an interest rate of 1.86 percent, will be paid back with money generated from a rate increase that went into effect May 1, when residents saw an increase of about $9 per month on their water and sewer bills.

Dykhuizen said that increase will generate roughly $1.9 million annually.

In other business, construction on Wall Street from the west side of Hall Street to the west side of Cherry Street will begin next week, Gary Tresenriter, director of public works, told the council.

The street will be resurfaced and new sidewalks, curbs and gutters will be installed at a cost of $110,391, which will be paid with revenue from the local option sales tax.

The project is scheduled to be completed by Aug. 5.

CHADWICK

BY JERMAINE PIGEESauk Valley Media

[email protected], ext. 5525

CHADWICK – The Village Board violated the state open meetings act when it discussed the performance of two trustees behind closed doors, the state attorney general’s office says.

Trustee Talea Nelson, one of the subjects of the closed session, filed a complaint with the state office April 5, citing several instances she said were violations.

In her complaint, Nelson said that on April 4, the board discussed her and another trustee, citing the provision in the act allowing closed hearings on matters dealing with employees, which they were not, and also discussed pending litigation without publicly citing its reason for going into closed session, as the act requires.

Nelson also said the board had not conducted the required semi-annual reviews of its closed-session minutes for more than 2 years.

The board was asked to respond to the complaint on April 7, and to provide copies of the agenda and the open and closed session minutes, as well as a verbatim recording of the closed session. It did so on April 19.

In its response, the board said it was allowed to discuss trustees in closed session because “clearly, a trustee is an employee of the village. Trustees are paid regular compensation,

are given W-2 forms at the end of the year, have Social Security and Medicare taxes withheld ...”

Not so, Assistant Attorney General Matt Hartman said in his ruling Tuesday. Trustees are elected officials, and so the act’s exemption does not apply, he said, noting that the village “has no authority to direct and control the elected trustees’ work or terminate their public office based upon their performance.”

If a board has the power, under ordinance, to remove a fellow trustee, it’s possible that the Chadwick board could have gone into closed session to discuss a trustee’s conduct, but if so, members cited the wrong provision of the act, Hartman said.

He advised the board to “more carefully cite the proper exceptions.”

The board acknowledged that its motion to go into closed session should have cited the pending litigation, and said it would be careful not to repeat the error in the future.

Hartman also concluded that the board did conduct the required reviews of its closed minutes, and found no violation there.

Village President Larry Miller declined to comment on the ruling, referring all questions to village attorney Edward Mitchell, who could

not be reached for comment.“The continual violations

of the Open Meetings Act need to stop to ensure a fair and just government,” Nelson said Thursday. “There are clear, personal agendas with some people, and it does not benefit our small community.”

Nelson and Karen Leif were the trustees discussed in closed session, Nelson said.

The discussion centered on the disagreements they routinely have with other trustees, Leif said Thursday.

Nelson, a trustee for a little more than a year, and Leif also butted heads with the board earlier this month.

Nelson owns a small calving operation in Chadwick, and the board voted 4-1 on June 6 to ban livestock and poultry within city limits, effectively putting her out of business. Leif is the only board member who voted against the ban. Nelson recused herself.

Nelson said at the time that she was being deliberately targeted by her fellow trustees.

“Neighbors ... have been complaining about the livestock in town,” Miller said after the meeting. “Neighbors have been objecting to it, and people in town can smell the livestock.”

“This ordinance came about just 3 months after I started our calving operation,” Nelson said. “I would not find any problem with this type of ordinance if it had legal standing and was not so blatantly targeting my business.”

STATE BUDGET IMPASSE | 71ST STATE HOUSE DISTRICT

BY TOM KOCALPrairie Advocate

[email protected]

MOLINE – State Rep. Mike Smiddy, D-Hillsdale, stood with local service providers and educators Thursday to highlight where Gov. Bruce Rauner’s proposed stop-gap budget proposal falls short, namely through massive cuts to services for the frail elderly, disabled children and cancer screenings for women.

“I’m outraged the state has gone almost a full year without a state budget,” Smiddy said. “For nearly a year, the governor has held the state hostage – refusing to sign or even negotiate a state budget unless he gets his way on a sweeping special interest agenda entirely unrelated to the budget.

“Now the governor has introduced a proposal he says will fund important programs, but he kicks to the curb our most vulnerable residents by slashing critical programs and services, such as breast cancer screenings and care for veterans, so he can spend tax dollars on office supplies.”

Savanna Mayor Tony McCombie, who is opposing Smiddy in the race for the 71st District House seat in November, says that because Illinois has some of the highest taxes and unemployment rates in the

Midwest, communities and schools are struggling and families and businesses are fleeing for better opportunities.

“We have serious problems in Illinois,” McCombie said. “We need leaders representing us that are in touch and willing to do the hard work necessary to solve them, and not point a finger of blame.”

Smiddy said that within the governor’s proposal is nearly $5 billion for operational expenses within the state bureaucracy, yet no funding for breast cancer screenings for women, services for children with developmental disabilities, autism and epilepsy, mental health programs, domestic violence shelters, job training, veterans, including veterans’ homes, and programs for senior citizens, such as in-home care to keep seniors in their own homes.

“I understand the need to help our homeless, elderly and disabled citizens, but the budget must be balanced,” McCombie said. “Approving a budget to ‘help’ people, with a $7 billion deficit, is misleading these people. There is no money to pay them. I’m tired of the blame game. OK, it’s Rauner’s fault, it’s Madigan’s fault, it’s Smiddy’s fault. But what are we going to do about it? Compromise cannot include $7 billion in deficit spending.

Even the Democrat-led Senate didn’t approve the deficit budget.”

Smiddy said in the waning hours of the General Assembly’s regular session, Rauner proposed a 1,000-plus-page stopgap funding proposal to the Legislature.

“We have a responsibility to prevent the ongoing conflict in Springfield from hurting the thousands of families in Illinois who rely on Illinois for care for their elderly relatives, access to preventative medical testing and support for people with developmental disabilities,” Smiddy said in a news release Thursday. “Governor Rauner has held up the critical aid within this bill almost a month. I urge him to promptly sign this legislation and return to the negotiating table with me in good faith to work out a larger compromise to provide the stability Illinois desperately needs.”

“The governor’s proposal, if enacted, would seriously reduce our ability to serve persons with disabilities in our region,” said Liz Sherwin, executive director of the Illinois/Iowa Center for Independent Living. “Passing a budget is important, but it needs to be done in the right way, so that more harm is not done to our communities.”

“It can’t be acceptable to purposefully hurt our kids,

people with disabilities, the elderly, and those who are ill – just to reach an unrelated political objective,” said Gary Weinstein, CEO of Transitions Mental Health Services in Rock Island. “Entire families, businesses, schools, and neighborhoods all are feeling the impact, and we urge Gov. Rauner to sign the stopgap measure today and ask all the leaders to pass a fair FY16 and FY17 budget now before more people get hurt.”

“Rauner was elected by the people of Illinois to be governor,” McCombie said. “He’s got to own this budget dilemma. I get that. As Savanna mayor, I’ve had to own things that I couldn’t get accomplished. That’s what you sign up for.

“Gov. Rauner ran to make changes, and to reform legislative spending. His opponents have said that Rauner’s turnaround agenda, relating to workman’s compensation, prevailing wage, and other items, should not be a part of the budget discussion. Does anybody honestly think that these programs have no financial impact on the budget?”

Smiddy is also urging Rauner to sign bipartisan legislation and provide emergency funding for thousands of organizations

in Illinois on the brink of collapse.

On May 12, Smiddy backed Senate Bill 2038, which provides emergency support for services for the developmentally disabled, seniors needing in-home care to avoid nursing homes, breast and cervical cancer testing, and treatment for Illinois women and many other critical programs. The legislation received bipartisan support, and was sent to the governor on May 18; no member of the General Assembly voted against it.

“We can’t separate the reality of the dire financial state of Illinois from the aid held back from our citizens,” McCombie said. “Is it good government to ignore the facts? Let’s talk about how high our unemployment rate is; how we continue to lose businesses and residents that move out of state; let’s talk about our property tax rates, some of the highest in the nation.”

McCombie said she read a study that reported the unemployment rate in Illinois had dropped, but that government contracting jobs had increased.

“How does that make sense? The Legislature is completely ignoring the big picture,” she said. “We can pass a balanced budget, but if we aren’t going to reform these bigger issues, the ‘quick fix’ won’t solve anything.”

McCombie agrees that the job of the Legislature is to

fight for the people whose tax dollars are collected to run the state.

“Here we are, the working, middle class; we are in the trenches, doing our part, giving what we can to help the most vulnerable, whether it be with our time or donations,” she said. “But we can’t do it alone. The people in Springfield who have built this framework must give us a solid foundation. That’s missing.”

McCombie said the budget discussion is overshadowing other dilemmas, such as education shortfalls.

“It’s crippling everyone. General state aid to all of our schools has been cut,” she said. “The State of Illinois can’t pay its bills. Look at East Moline. $572,000 is owed them by the state for the correctional center’s water bill. They’re using all their reserves to pay its bills. Pretty soon, other needed projects will be put on hold. How do you pay for a project with no money? Plus, if they could invest that $572,000, they would be getting a return on the money that they are not getting now. The state isn’t going to pay them interest!”

Smiddy said lawmakers from both parties continue to meet in bipartisan working groups to reach a compromise on the state budget and the governor’s agenda and avoid a government shutdown.

“But the proposal offered by the governor hurts too many Illinois residents,” Smiddy said.

“At that point, the pallets are unloaded for Stephenson county, and separated into batches for Carroll County.”

Beintema said an escort brings the medication to a location in Lanark where an exchange takes place, and an escort from the Carroll County Sheriff’s Department brings the load to the Freeport Health Network office in Mount Carroll, and the Carroll County Health Department.

“We could deliver clothing, water, food, or many other essential items. The system is in place. It doesn’t have to be a particular medication,” Beintema said.

A staff recall declaring that the CCHD is opening its pod begins with a certain portion of the population, such as first responders and their families. The exercise had 22 volunteers receive fake medication.

“It went successfully. I never get concerned. We have practiced this four or five times. We

dispense out of the health department every day anyway, so it’s nothing new. We mostly just have to practice documenting and radio contact. All of that went very well. We are charged with vaccinating and medicating the entire population of the county in 72 hours if an emergency event occurs,” said Beintema.

The Carroll County Health Department houses two nurses, and staff members that are capable of offering a wide variety of care to residents in

need. Some of the services offered include disaster planning, medication drop box disposal, medication dispensing, vaccinations, health screenings, and preventative health care services for adults and children.

“A lot of people don’t realize all of the things we offer here. Our staff are well trained, and happy to help.”

The Carroll County Health Department is located at 822 S. Mill St. in Mount Carroll. For more information, visit ccphd.org or call 815-244-8855.

SAVANNA

BY MICHAEL MILLERFor Prairie Advocate

SAVANNA – The Savanna City Council approved a public hearing at 6 p.m. Aug. 3, in relation to the establishment of a TIF district within the city limits.

Community Funding and Planning Service’s Sharon Pepin gave an update on the timetable of the TIF process. At this point, the city has just mailed out notices to the public as well as the taxing bodies, and to the Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity, announcing the public hearing date and time. A Joint Review Board meeting will be held at 10 a.m. on July 1, with one city representative and one public member attending. Residents may sign an “interested parties” registry and will then receive documentation relating to the TIF project.

Regarding the criteria that would qualify for TIF reimbursement, Pepin said some of the eligible costs included engineering, marketing, environmental studies, advertising costs, property assembly costs for acquisition of property, and rehabilitation, reconstruction or repair of property or infrastructure, job training dollars for businesses and other costs.

The budget has been projected at $19.9 million for the TIF. Pepin stressed the need for flexibility when it came to criteria for qualifying projects and examining everything on a case by case basis.

The TIF area will consist of 262 parcels, Pepin said, or 178 acres of land, much

of it Illinois Department of Natural Resources and railroad property. The TIF will incorporate most of Main Street, plus the existing TIF district, onto Bowen Street, and extend all the way out to the hotel area south of town.

Council also approved the following requests for funding:

• A $15,500 bid from S and P Construction for repair of the fire station roof. Finance Committee Chairman Bill Robinson said that this will basically entail shingle repair, and that other repairs

would be necessary. The city has $50,000 budgeted for this expense, and the balance will go toward the other repairs.

• A replacement taser for the Police Department, at a cost of “under $1,000.” The city had $1,500 budgeted for this.

• Meter reader equipment for the Public Works Department, at a cost of “under $11,000”. Lindeman said the purchase was necessary because the current model is no longer supported.

Public hearing for new TIF district set for Aug. 3

BY MICHAEL MILLERFor Prairie Advocate

SAVANNA – Public Works Superintendent John Lindeman reported that he had received notification that a pre-construction meeting for the wastewater treatment plant with the City of Savanna contractors, Williams Brothers Construction from Peoria, will be at 1 p.m. today.

He said construction dates will be firmed up and that construction could begin within a couple weeks of that date. He said that paving had been done on Bowen and subsequent paving would be done as well.

Newly appointed Ordinance Officer John Ashby said that about 10 people with vehicle sticker compliance issues have volunteered

to comply. He said that about seven grass mowing tickets were issued, with none yet complying. Ashby said that he would wait for committee and council direction regarding how to deal with the display of LP tanks and dumpsters.

The council passed a resolution to approve a use agreement with the Relay for Life/American Cancer Society for their Run/Walk charity event to be held between 7 and 10:30 a.m. on Aug. 6 at the Great River Bike Trail.

They also passed a resolution to close state Route 64 between Division and Chicago, at 5 p.m. on Tuesday, July 5, for the Independence Day Parade. It will start from the old Pizza Hut site and proceed south on Main Street.

MORRISON

Prairie Advocate staff

MORRISON – Modern-day slavery exists. How far would you walk to escape human slavery? Would your answer change if you were a child, not a capable, strong, knowledgeable adult?

Teacher Barry Jurgensen of Nebraska City, Nebraska is walking 500 miles across three states, to call attention to, and reduce, the vulnerability of children to human trafficking.

On Thursday, Jurgensen will arrive in Morrison for an overnight stay. He will speak about his project at 2 p.m. Thursday at Morrison’s Heritage Museum, 202 E. Lincolnway. The public is invited, and refreshments will be served by Morrison Historical Society.

Jurgensen’s “Walk Forever Free” journey traces the known route of two 1858 teenage girls, Eliza and Celia, who escaped their slave master

in Nebraska City, and found freedom in Chicago.

In true Underground Railroad fashion, his success depends on the organization and kindness of strangers, whom he will likely never meet again, within the counties he crosses and the communities he visits.

His trek, like that of the formerly enslaved girls, covers 500 miles.

Jurgensen said he averages 16 miles a day, as he connects messages of

historical and modern-day slavery.

He has partnered with the Frederick Douglass Family Initiatives, a public 501©3, dedicated to advancing freedom through knowledge and strategic action. Jurgensen’s goal is to raise $50 per mile for FDFI.

For more information, visit fdfi.org, email [email protected], or contact Linda Smith, project assistant, at 515-462-4305, or Amber Sims, 402-980-0842.

CARROLL COUNTY BOARD

BY TONY CARTON For Prairie Advocate

MOUNT CARROLL – The Carroll County Board opened its new business segment Thursday by approving a request for a letter of support favoring a 12-year extension of the Milledgeville Tax Increment Finance District from Milledgeville Village President Galen Wirth.

“Our TIF started in 1995 and runs for 23 years,” said Wirth. “It will be expiring at the end of the year in 2018 and our last property tax monies will be coming in 2019.”

He told the board the process for requesting an extension lasts about two years and requires the village to get all the Milledgeville taxing bodies to approve

a Resolution of Support before approaching the state legislature for final approval.

“The word from last year is the state does not like approving TIFs,” he said. “I remember a few years back when Dixon requested an extension and the state legislature waited until the eleventh hour to grant it.”

WEST CARROLL SCHOOLS

BY MICHAEL MILLERFor Prairie Advocate

MOUNT CARROLL — West Carroll District Superintendent Adam Brumbaugh said that in discussions with the district attorney, he found that the fastest route for the district to divest itself of the Intermediate School Building in Thomson would be to sell it by a process of sealed bid.

He asked the board to rescind their previous motion to sell the building by auction, which they did unanimously.

He said that an auction would necessitate the previously established amount of $100,000 as a minimum, and that was problematic.

“We would like to expedite this as quickly as possible and get a viable option into that building for the Village of Thomson, for the tax rolls, and for the communities.”

Setting up a seal bid process involved options, including adding a minimum bid, as before. Brumbaugh said the district’s ultimate goal was to get the property sold to someone who would do something positive with it. Money would need to be spent to get it up to speed, he said, and he cautioned the board against setting an “unreasonable amount” for a minimum. The board always had the right to refuse any and all offers, he added.

Thomson Village President Vicky Trager said the village board had turned down the right of first offer

at their last meeting, and that they had no interest in having the district passing a motion to grant the building to the village.

“In two years, will we kick ourselves? Will we have regrets? I’m sure we will, but for now, we can’t afford it,” said Trager.

She said she’d heard comments that no one was interested in buying a building that would need a million dollars in the first year.

“If you’re looking to make money on it, I think you’re going to be disappointed.”

“We will make money,” Brumbaugh said. “When it’s back on the tax rolls.”

He thanked Trager and the Village for waving their right and moving the process forward, and the board agreed.

Trager urged the board to consider who among the bidders would be a good neighbor to Thomson.

“We would urge that you think not just of getting the highest dollar, but of getting the highest benefit, not just for Thomson residents or West Carroll students, but the best fit for everyone.”

“I think the board will do everything it can to be sure it goes to the higher bidder who’s going to do something good with it,” Brumbaugh said.

Board President Jerry Anderson felt a minimum bid was necessary.

“For me, what the minimum is going to do is to separate the people that have a little bit of money to actually do something with

it, rather than just every guy off the street . . . I’d like to make sure we get rid of it, but get rid of it in a positive way. I think if you put nothing on it you’re going to have bids on it that the Village of Thomson doesn’t want, that we don’t want . . .”

“If somebody wants it with

a sealed bid, they’re going to come in as strong as they’re going to come in,” Board member Fred Tipton said. “Let everybody think everybody has a shot. At an auction, stuff brings more. The more people that have a chance . . . it seems to bring more to me.”

Trager said the board

could require the buyer to show them plans.

Brumbaugh said that opening it up to everyone was at least bringing in bids, and that “we can weed through those. But we

want to make sure we get something.”

All agreed the matter needed to be put behind them. “We need to put a fork in this thing,” Tipton said.

Intermediate School to be sold by sealed bid Auction would be problematic because it would require a minimum bid

MOUNT CARROLL — Middle School Principal Julie Katzenberger sought, and received, unanimous board approval to take the Tiny Eye online speech program to pre-K to 8.

The Georgia-based program that utilizes Skype to deliver speech therapy to students in need, was approved as a pilot program in December to help fulfill the district’s speech program needs. At the time, Katzenberger said that the program was used by military families who were transferred frequently, and that this is a widely used program, currently in use in Galesburg and Macomb.

Board approval to expand the service to pre-K to eighth grade means that the district has 54 students at the Primary School that would qualify for speech services, and 32 at the Middle School.

The program will replace the need to hire outside services, Katzenberger said. Some families have a hard time finding transportation to outside sites.

At the June meeting, Katzenberger said that out of 27 students who utilized a speech program at the Middle School, 26 were interested in the Tiny Eye pilot program, and that the sole student who didn’t utilize the program had developed a very good relationship with the off campus instructor they saw. Katzenberger said the results were quite positive.

“The kids really watch the screen,” she said. “They are like, glued to the screen. ... It’s really amazing to see kids that are so quiet, and they are afraid to say anything because they know they’d say something wrong, and then they grow in their confidence and they are able to speak. It makes a lot of difference to them.”

Superintendent Adam Brumbaugh said that from firsthand observation, “the kids were engaged the whole time. The instructor was engaged the whole time, and very professional. That’s why I support it, 100 percent, expanding the service.”

Over this summer, students can go online and play games on the related site, and parents will be able to offer feedback on it.

The board agreed, after long discussion, to a 30-year contract with Sprint for use of the district water tower to broadcast their signal, for a one-time payment of $25,000 and then $9,000 per year. There was consternation over the length of the contract.

“I think 25 years is a long time,” Board member Bev Kilpatrick said, and the rest seemed to agree, but approved the contract anyway.

Katzenberger announced that Middle School Band Camp has been cancelled, this year, due to lack of signups. She said that this year the word about the camp did not get disseminated to outlying areas.

Brumbaugh gave kudos to West

Carroll Maintenance Director Kurt Beck and his crews for all of their summer work, particularly in the area of asbestos abatement at the High School.

Other WC board action• The Board approved asbestos

abatement for the weight room at the High School from Abel Plus services, Inc. for a total of $30,000.

• Accepted a bid for the renovation of the weight room at the High School in order to accommodate equipment and activity that had been supplied by the Intermediate School, for $87,000, from Winter Construction.

Two former classrooms will be combined at this site, the drop ceilings will be removed, re-wiring, installing a firewall between the two spaces, painting and floor finishing, as well as other work, will be done. Much of this would have had to be done regardless of the status of the building, due to the Health/Life/Safety concerns of the asbestos.

• Accepted a bid from of $800 from Frank Tipton to purchase kitchen equipment from the Intermediate School in Thomson.

• Approved the Tri-County Head Start Lease for 2016 allowing the organization to use one classroom and one office.

• Approved letting for bids both the snow removal work and the fuel supply services for the district for 2016-2017.

Board expands Tiny Eye speech program

Alderman Jeff Griswold asked if the initial purchase had been for “obsolete equipment,” and Lindeman replied that it was not obsolete 2 years ago.

“Everything changes,” said Robinson. “Electronics especially.”

• Also for Public Works,

a meter reader/laptop at the cost of under $2,000, a pavement striper for under $4,000, a safety barricade at a cost of under $1,500, an ice machine at a cost of under $2,100.

• Draw Down number 1 for the loan from the IEPA, to MSA Professional Services, for construction administration of the new wastewater treatment plant, in the amount of $16,900.

LANARK

LANARK — At its May 17 meeting, the Lanark City Council elected not to hire AmeriCorps Fellow Lexie

Woodward for a full-time position. Despite 10 letters of support written to council, and an equal

number of citizens in attendance who supported the concept of creating an economic development position, the proposal was denied by a 4-2 vote.

In spite of the rejection, Woodward has nothing but positive feedback to offer Lanark’s leaders and volunteers, and plans on moving forward in her pursuit of opportunities and career advancement. Her involvement in the city being awarded the 2016 Blachawk Hills Regional Council’s Carson DeJarnatt Economic Development award on June 9 was a key factor in the city’s success, but Woodward gave credit where credit was due.

“Although much of the work was done before my time and by volunteers who aren’t leaving – knowing that Mayor John Huggins and I are leaving – is the bummer part,” Woodward said. “I know that Lanark will continue moving forward due to its volunteers and some great business and school leaders, but I know that it won’t at the level or pace that it could have if the community economic development position had been created and filled by someone like me. Yes, the city voted to do the MAPPING program, but it is the volunteers and John who have done the real time.”

Prior to the vote May 17, Aldermen Lara Tallman and Lance Leverton, who voted in favor of hiring Woodward, spoke in her favor. But none of the other four aldermen – Weston Burkholder, Anne Lindsay, Mark Macomber, and Ken Viglietta – voiced the reasons for their opposition.

But that didn’t stop Woodward from moving

forward with her career plans, as well as offering the ideas put forth in her proposal to the city council, based on her work with the MAPPING project.

“I will be present on Facebook at the Community Development Institute’s annual conference in mid-August, as well as being a third year student. Immediately following the completion of the conference, I will test for the Professional Community Economic Developer Certification,” she said.

“My focus, from when my internship and last class ends at the end of July until this conference, will be to prepare for that presentation and study.

“Moving forward for Lanark, I would like to see the community focus on business attraction; Identify any available lots and be proactive about advertising them, and make sure existing lot information on the City’s website is up to date.”

She also suggests advocating to the city council to extend and/or add streets, water, sewer, and electric lines to lots, as well as improving the appearance of available lots, making them development/move-in ready.

“It could state in the advertisements that the city will pay for these expenses once they know what the buyer’s needs will be.”

Woodward appreciates efforts as fellowship nears end

LANARK – A cover letter, income survey form and a self-addressed stamped envelope was mailed to all Lanark residents last week.

“We cannot stress enough how important it is for all residents to complete and return the survey, as well as to answer honestly,” said City of Lanark Intern Lexie Woodward. “A 75 percent response rate is required and all of the survey questions must be answered. It is important that the survey be returned by July 1.”

The reason for the survey is for potential grant awards. The

City needs residents’ help with its plan to carry out street repair, drinking water infrastructure, sanitary sewer, and other general maintenance and improvement projects.

“In order to continue applying for the above grants, which help finance these types of projects, the City needs to complete a new city-wide income survey,” said Woodward.

She said since 2010, Lanark has completed a well, sanitary sewer, and storm water project. The City applied for Community Development Assistance Program grant funds, from the Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity, for these projects, and were awarded 75

percent of them, including an $83,000 emergency CDAP grant to replace a lift station, which helped to keep resident’s water and sewer fees low and to take pressure off the City’s financial reserves.

“The estimated cost of street repairs instead of just seal coating will be ongoing for several years and hundreds of thousands of dollars, but there are no hard figures yet,” said Lanark Mayor John Huggins. “The water tower inspection will be around $2,500 to $3,500. Then repairs and painting the tower, depending on the outcome of the inspections, could be $80,000 or more.”

He said the sanitary sewer lining work scheduled for this year will be approximately $100,000, and

there are still two phases to go for east lift station at a possible cost of $800,000. City park handicap accessible improvements are estimated at $160,000.

Woodward said the information provided will be kept strictly confidential in accordance with the Privacy Act of 1974. Results of the survey will be compiled by Sharon Pepin of Community Funding and Planning Services. If you have any questions about CDAP grant programs or the survey, please contact Pepin at 815-947-8224.

Contact City Intern Lexie Woodward at [email protected], or on Lanark’s One Civic Number at 815-493-1155 for more information.

Sweet 16: Homegrown fun at Old Settlers DaysCity celebrates 155th birthday during festival

BY ANDREW WILLIAMSONPrairie Advocate

I moved to Lanark on Sunday, Aug. 3, 2008. That Monday, a torrential thunderstorm moved through the area causing devastation throughout the town. Living in a small town causes you to be generally optimistic of the intentions of others. People coming together, neighbor helping neighbor.

It was here that I learned

the true meaning and importance of small business and product diversity from the interests and the needs of local consumers and customers.

Living in a small town, you really see how easy it is to become excited about simple happiness. Like a new business coming to town, or being part a community event, or some other dynamic unfolding

into prosperity. Being in the local paper made you an instant celebrity. A special appreciation for the moments that are made simple and easy, bringing countless smiles and backyard BBQs. School events, school sports where you grew to understand the true definition of loyalty. Always a smile, always a wave, always a hello.

After small town living,

you will always have home in your heart. Most importantly some lessons that small town living teaches you is the notion of home and place of belonging. Life is a thunderstorm, a whirlwind of changes, heartbreaks, and opportunities come and go, but there is something truly beautiful about knowing you always have somewhere to call home.

Festival celebrates small town living

MOUNT CARROLL

BY JERMAINE PIGEESauk Valley Media

[email protected], ext. 5525

MOUNT CARROLL – Mount Carroll’s mayor would like to see a little less talk and a little more action on a proposed sewer rate increase.

The council has been discussing different plans for a rate increase in recent weeks, money from which would help pay for a new wastewater treatment plant. During the council meeting June 14, the mayor pressed members to do more than just dip their toe in the water.

“We have to start somewhere,” Bates said. “I want to get moving on this and decide what we want to do.”

Two council members have offered plans. Kevin

Powers would increase residents’ rates by eight-tenths of a cent per gallon and raise just over $1 million over 3 years, based on 2014 water usage figures. The benefit to customers, he said, is that those who use less would pay less and those who use more, pay more.

Mike Risko has proposed a graduated plan, which would start out with smaller increases – $1 to $10 a month – and gradually ramp them up over 3 years. His proposal would gradually increase residents’ sewer bills $30 to $36 a month over a 3-year period and

generate between $504,000 and $605,000 over 3 years.

“Virtually everyone I spoke to said you should pay for what you use,” Powers told Risko. “I haven’t had one person except for you tell me they want a fee structure.”

The council also is considering a combination of the two plans in which residents’ bills could increase $5 a month, and their rates would go up two-tenths of a cent per gallon, generating an estimated $421,000 over 3 years.

Risko said the hybrid plan simply won’t raise enough revenue. “The sewer plant needs to be replaced and that is not an option.”

Mount Carroll must replace its aging plant, which no longer can meet Illinois Environmental Protection Agency standards. How much that

will cost, where it will be located, how it will be paid for and when work will begin has not yet been determined.

“It’s a matter of how much money we will have on our own for the up-front costs,” Bates said. “The reality is, you have to get ahead of it. I think we have to start doing something sooner rather than later.”

At the council’s next meeting, members hope to reach an agreement on which option to move forward with for a vote in July.

“If we come up with an option, we can do it for a year and see how things are going,” Risko said. “We will be able to tweak it, but we have to start soon so we don’t have to start borrowing money just for engineering studies.”

Go to mtcarrollil.org or call 815-244-4424 for an agenda or more information.Downtown revitalization

in the 155 year old community is an area Woodward hopes to see continue.

“Businesses want to move into downtowns that look nice. Be proactive about getting existing downtown businesses to take advantage of the Lanark’s Downtown Façade program. Even little things like decorating empty storefronts help.”

Woodward said as much as it would be great to have new businesses come to town, it makes sense to cultivate local entrepreneurs.

“Home grown entrepreneurs are more likely to stay and contribute more to the local community,” she said.

Retention and expansion of existing businesses is just as vital to Lanark’s future success, Woodward said.

“Keep the business information on the city’s website up to date. Or conduct ‘secret shopper or diner’ program to help businesses learn what they can improve upon. Then work with businesses on succession plans, which helps ensure that a business continues after its owners retire.”

She said if all this is done, attracting new residents is a lot easier.

“Making sure that Lanark has the most attractive and up to date website possible is absolutely essential in attracting new residents, including new Thomson prison employees. Downtown revitalization will help with resident attraction, too, and maybe more entrepreneurs.”

Doing everything possible to decrease the amount of blighted houses and properties, and improving the appearance of them will place potential residents’ focus on the town’s amenities, rather than the downside. For example, she suggests promoting the work being done to improve the park on the city website.

Last, but not least, volunteer management is the key to getting the most bang for the buck, Woodward said. In her time as Lanark ED intern,

she helped coordinate the efforts of the MAPPING committees — Transformers, Celebrate Lanark, and Cornucopia — and worked with the Chamber of Commerce, city council, city boards and committees, and church groups, such as the Eastland Council of Churches Home Improvement Task Force.

“Try to prevent the loss of volunteers. Volunteers are lost due to a lack of recognition and appreciation, burning out, and inter-group dynamics. Without them, nothing gets done.”

Woodward said she has had an interview in the area, and will be looking for work in the economic development field.

Homegrown entrepreneurs a key to success

Scenes from Depot Day

Teams from the Thomson Library and the Fire Department size up the competi-tion before their greatly anticipated outhouse race.

The Village of Thomson celebrated Depot Day on Saturday. Various activities were held, including outhouse races, art in

the park, music, bouncy houses, and food.

Milledgeville receives over $400,000 annually from its TIF and uses those funds for infrastructure improvements.

“We spent $680,000 on water looping, sewer repairs, grant writing and engineer fees, water hydrant replacements, city hall roof repairs, also new sidewalks and lights downtown and other general improvements for the town,” said Wirth. “It has been

a real windfall for us.”The village also purchased a

30.3-acre plot and subdivided it. Midwest BioAg eventually purchased the entire acreage and has constructed a 17,000-square-foot fertilizer blending and distribution center which ships materials state-wide and into Iowa. That facility added a growing number of jobs to the Milledgeville economy.

“It’s been a real lifesaver for us in getting major projects done, and the quality of life in the village

has improved,” said Wirth.Also under new

business, the board heard a presentation from Mike Mudge representing Rock River Energy Services, outlining options for those residents on the east side of the county faced with the decision of whether to stay with RRES, since ComEd has released rate numbers for the next year that dip below the current aggregated rate.

Community resident and small businesses may stay with the current plan and see

what the new rate will be next June, or they may move back to Com Ed at the new lower rate with the option to stay or return to aggregation after six months. Residents may also select their own supplier from the Illinois Commerce Commision list.

RRES is mailing a letter notifying its current customers of the options. Neither the community nor RRES is permitted to recommend a choice. It is the individual resident’s decision.

Chief County Assessment

Officer Annette Gruhn presented the results of a recent Farmland Advisory Committee meeting. That report is available on the county website. Following her report the board reappointed Gruhn as Supervisor of Assessments.

The Carroll County Board will next meet at 9:30 a.m. Thursday, July 7, in the small courtroom in the Carroll County Courthouse.

In other business:• The board approved

America’s Parking

Remarking bid for pavement striping and authorized work to begin;

• Approved a bid by M&M Concrete for repairs and authorized the company to start the project;

• approved a petition for Bridge Aid from York Road District for repairs to a bridge on Big Cut Road, and from Salem Road District, Savanna Road District, Wysox Road District and Fairhaven Road District, all for culvert replacement projects.

Options discussed for residents deciding between power providersLETTER

Last summer our county got back into the Adopted Legisla-

tor program with Illinois Farm Bureau. The program matches an urban legislator with a rural county. Many moons ago we participated in the program with Repre-sentative Randy Hultgren. We lost Randy when he became a U.S. Congressman. It took longer than we ever would have guessed to get a replacement legislator. We patiently waited till someone was willing to work with us. Well, maybe I wasn’t so patient, as after nine years I asked if I should just tell our board no one wanted Carroll County!

But last summer, we were finally wanted! Representative Christine Winger agreed to be our adopted legislator. Representative Winger is a Republican who represents the 45th district which includes Addison, Bloomingdale, Bartlett, Carol Stream, and a few other towns. A group from Carroll County visited her in her district last summer.

On June 12 and 13, we were fortunate enough to have her come out to Carroll County and do some farm tours. Representative Winger

brought along her husband and nine month-old daughter for the trip.

What better of a location for them to stay than Hickory Hideaway. It is no wonder they came out here early on Sunday. They were able to enjoy a peaceful afternoon. That evening we hosted a cookout with Farm Bureau leaders and Representative Brian Stewart. Throughout the evening we discussed our county, what issues affect us, and were able to enjoy a very nice evening. A huge shout out to Sherry and George Vidinich for the great hospitality at Hickory Hideaway.

One thing I think I have said a million times, and I will keep repeating myself is, we have some great farmers involved with our organization. I cannot thank them enough for what they do when we need them. They are more than willing to take a day out of their VERY busy schedule to do what they know is important, and that is educate consumers.

We started the day with a tour of Hunter Haven Farms. Doug and Tom Block are always more than willing to open their dairy for us to do some education. After the tour, we then moved down

to Smith Farming Corp. in Milledgeville. Brad, Steve, and Jane have, many times, allowed us to bring in groups of teachers, legislators, or other focus groups to educate them on grain production. Brad covered chemicals, why they are sprayed, how they are sprayed, and he talked on GMO’s and what that means.

The final stop of the day was Lamoreux Farms. Once again, a great family farm who openly educates groups on cattle and the misconceptions with animal agriculture. Dan provided

the tour of their new cattle shed. He talked about why cattle are for the most part in sheds and not out to pasture. He also addressed the misconceptions on hormones.

Representative Winger and her husband saw a whole new world out here and they are only about an hour and a half away. They were able to sleep without hearing O’Hare. Their dog was able to be off a leash. And more importantly, they learned about agriculture. A Huge Thank You to all of our hosts for all they did.

CAPITOL REPORTBy State Rep. Brian Stewart, 89th District

There are less than two weeks left of the current fiscal year and again the Legislature’s day in Springfield was cancelled by Speaker Madigan. We are told that the Working Groups are making progress, but in reality, the State of Illinois cannot wait any longer. If we do not agree to a financial plan in the next week, our state will enter its second year without a budget.

It is unacceptable that the two parties have not been able to reach a compromise over the past 24 months. What is even more unacceptable is that it appears the Speaker intends to do nothing before the November election. Seniors, students, schools, mental health facilities, health care facilities and our prisons desperately need state assistance. Without a budget, our schools will not open this fall. Our mental health facilities will close their doors. Health care facilities will lay off workers. Our prisons will run out of food and the lights will go out.

This is no time to play politics. This is time for the Speaker to allow us to do our jobs and serve the people who send us to Springfield.

As I stated last week, there are two bills that are fully-funding solutions to the issues stated above. This was not our first choice, but we have been advocating for a comprehensive balanced budget from day 1. These proposals are temporary, but give us the time to reach an agreement. This is the most responsible response to our situation. Let’s keep the lights on and keep the schools open. The taxpayers didn’t cause our financial turmoil and they should not be the ones to bear the brunt of its

consequences.Looking ahead, I will

keep fighting for our government to stay open.

The House Republicans have introduced comprehensive budgets in the past year, not 40 billion dollar spending plans, but budgets that were realistic and paid for. None of them were ever let out of Rules Committee by Speaker Madigan.

Instead of stomping our feet while Rome burns, we have offered stopgap solutions to fund essential state human services while a “Grand Bargain” is negotiated. After it was clear that there would not be budget talks on the last day of Spring Session, we introduced a budget bridge package to get emergency funds to the agencies and organizations that depend on state appropriations. The bridge would supply agencies with enough money to survive until January 1, 2017.

The most important fact about this package is the state can actually appropriate the funds and it would not require a tax increase. Although it is only a temporary solution, it is not an empty promise or a check that will bounce; there is money to pay for it. It is not politically controversial; it is just the right thing to do. Right now, the fate of Illinoisans rests with one man: Speaker Michael Madigan.

This continuing impasse reminds me of a quote from former Illinois State Representative and now U.S. Congressman Mike Bost, “I feel like somebody trying to be released from Egypt! Let my people go!”

SPRINGFIELD – During the 88th annual Illinois State FFA Convention on June 14-16, three awards were presented to the West Carroll FFA chapter.

The West Carroll chapter was named a Foundation Club Award recipient, recognized for coordinating a chapter campaign for the Illinois Foundation FFA which raised $3,480.

Agricultural Mechanics Energy Systems State Proficiency winner Jacob Casey. His Supervised Agricultural Experience program revolves around renewable energy where he was part of an assembly line that manufactures solar panels for the company he works for.

Casey worked at many different stations ranging from putting nuts and bolts in bags to drilling holes in metal and boxes. In some cases, he was wiring the solar panels to be compatible to the generators they also manufactured. These solar panels are used on farms to increase energy efficiency and thus increase profits.

Food Service State Proficiency winner is Cassie Johnson. In her enterprise, she serves as the shift lead manager at Taco Bell and will soon be promoted to assistant manager. Her duties include counting the food product and entering the information for inventory purposes, counting the safe, stocking registers, and ensuring food safety and freshness.

Johnson is also in charge of ensuring employee compliance with Taco Bell standards in regards to uniforms, conduct, and procedures.

The Wildlife Protection and Management State Proficiency winner was Daniel Hartman. The most important aspect

West Carroll FFA and 3 members recognized of Hartman’s Supervised Agricultural Experience is the diversity of each of his projects and the influence his projects had on his career choice

and advancement. His Youth Conservation Corps enterprise with the Fish and Wildlife Services has influenced him to pursue a career in wildlife

management.Hartman was also

recognized as one of five finalists for the prestigious 2016 State Star in Agribusiness recognition.
