County for police protection

By SARAH FORD For Shaw Media

The Rapids City Board will soon have a new police force after making a difficult decision at their meeting on Jan. 12.

The village has had an intergovernmental agreement with Hampton for nearly 20 years for police protection, but voted to end that agreement based on savings for the village.

Rock Island County Sheriff Gerald Bustos addressed the board, stating there was “no intention of getting in a bidding war” with Hampton, but rather to present what the county could offer, which was quality and quantity.

He said the county has 64 officers versus the four on the HPD. Every single resource available to the RI County Sheriff’s office will be available, he said.

“We can help move you in Rapids City into the future of policing. We’re not here to put Hampton out of business – this is an opportunity of choice – an option,” he told the board.

The sheriff’s contract stated that the

village will get approximately 30% of dedicated time in the area at an annual cost of $65,000. No hours were designated, but the board will set those. All three shifts will be available, and the county will assist in ordinances and the MUNICES system. Hampton’s annual police contract costs the village nearly $105,000.

Cordova Mayor Jim Boone praised the sheriff’s office, which has provided police protection for the village since April 2014.

“It’s been nothing but success. The officers are in the community to serve, protect, cover, and they’ve become part of the community. Every contract has been approved 100% unanimously by the board.”

Port Byron Mayor Bruce Peterson said the village went with the sheriff’s department since 2010, and he praised the experience, while noting that the communities can work as a unit if Rapids City approves the contract.

Hampton Mayor Rich Vershaw said Rapids City will be “better served with a 24/7 police presence that we’ve been

providing and you’ve been paying for.”

He worried that ending the agreement will have a negative effect on Hampton.

“One thing to consider is that we do not have the money to continue a 24/7 presence. I think we’ve done a good job, have a good relationship, and it won’t be good if we were to lose the full-time police department between our two communities. We have a great thing going on, and we hope to continue with the fairness we provide and camaraderie between our two communities.”

Based on Village President Harold Mire’s recommendation, the board approved the contract with the sheriff’s department, effective April 1, 2021, in a 5-1 vote. Trustee Rick Fiems was the only no vote.

In other action, the board heard from Strand Engineering, a full-service engineering firm, which has expressed interest in the community; donated $100 to Riverdale Education Foundation; and learned of a bass fishing tournament at the end of July, which may use Schuler’s Shady Grove as a launching site.

Statement from Rapids City mayor after change in law enforcement services provider There are times when we are called upon to make tough decisions, decisions we wish we didn’t have to make. However, as Leaders of the Community, we don’t have an option of running away from the decision, putting our head in the sand, or hoping someone would make the decision for us. It is during times like these that I seek spiritual guidance and wisdom because I know my recommendation will impact this community. Such a recommendation and decision had to be made on Tuesday, Jan. 12.

The Village Board met to select a Law Enforcement Services Provider for the next 3 years. There were two contracts under consideration, one from the Hampton Police Department and the other from the Rock Island County Sheriff’s Office. Speaking on behalf of Hampton was Mayor Vershaw, Trustee Bornhoeft, and Chief Tone. Speaking on behalf of the Rock Island County Sheriff’s Office was Sheriff Gerry Bustos. Also speaking were Mayor Bruce Peterson, Port Byron, and Mayor Jim Boone, Cordova. These two Mayors were effusive in their praise of the County Sheriff’s Office and its community policing tactics in their villages.

Trustees asked questions of both agencies and engaged in discussion. This was a most difficult decision for them as well. I appreciate their wisdom and respect the manner in which they perform their duties for the betterment of

this community.

As Village President I felt it necessary to provide a recommendation to the Board. My first and foremost question I always concern myself with is, the safety and welfare of the citizens and children of this community. When I examined both contracts there was very little difference, in my opinion, regarding the level of service promised. Both offered approximately 30% dedicated coverage, with Hampton indicating 30% daily and the Sheriff’s Office 30% per shift, 24/7. However, Hampton’s contract specifically excluded animal control and the Sheriff’s Office included animal control. That verbiage had never been in any previous contract with Hampton. Hampton has limited resources and the Sheriff’s Office has greater resources both in manpower and equipment.

Since all things were at least equal or favorable to the contract of the Sheriff’s Office, I then focused on pricing. The Sheriff’s Office was approximately $40,000 or 38.1% cheaper annually than Hampton for the same or better service. Over a 3-year period that equaled a savings of $121,000 to the Village. Let me put this in a different perspective, we collect approximately $160,000 annually in property taxes so this savings of $121,000 in three years would equal 75.5% of our annual property tax revenue, a significant sum of money.

Therefore, with the same or better protec-

tion and coverage for the Village of Rapids City and with a substantial savings to benefit the Village, I recommended and the Board of Trustees accepted the contract of the Rock Island County Sheriff’s Office. The Board voted 5-1 to employ the services of the Rock Island County Sheriff’s Office for Law Enforcement Protection beginning April 1, 2021.

I wish to thank Mayor Vershaw for his cooperation throughout the years and I want to wish Mayor-Elect Bornhoeft success as he assumes the Leadership in Hampton. I wish the Hampton PD continued success and well-being.

Most of all I want to thank deceased Chief Engle for his tireless efforts to make our communities a better place to live and raise our children. Brother you are missed more than you could have ever imagined.

To the Board of Trustees - thank you for being the best Board a Mayor could ever ask for. It is an honor to serve with people whose only interest is the community of which they serve.

Finally, to my fellow citizens, I ask for your understanding and support. We have big obstacles facing us in the next year and we will need to summon up the resolve to tackle the big projects that must be undertaken.

Take Care and Stay Safe, Harold Mire, Jr. Rapids City Village President

COVID VACCINE

By ERIC INGLES

care facilities is underway; that process is being handled through a federal pharmacy program that uses CVS Pharmacy or Walgreens.

Walgreens is handling those vaccinations in Lee County, which seems fitting, since its founder, Charles Walgreen, grew up in Dixon.

Those by-appointment clinics are working well, and giving the health department some control over the limited supply, Ferguson said.

In Lee County, the health department went to work right away to vaccinate KSB Hospital’s team of

healthcare workers, but now the focus has shifted to healthcare workers in other areas.

“A couple examples would be dentists and eye doctors, nurses at dialysis centers,” Ferguson said. “Healthcare workers that people don’t automatically think of, so that’s who we’ve been focusing on now.”

The Ogle County Health Department also still is in the throes of Phase 1A, also vaccinating health care workers in those other fields.

“It will take a few weeks to move through these staff,” the department

said on its Facebook page. “When we get to a point we can start vaccinating high risk, elderly, other essential workers etc., there will be public messaging on social media, paper, radio, etc., advising how to get the vaccine for your group.

“We are making arrangements for that next phase with many leaders and administrators at local employers to get people vaccinated as quickly as possible in preparations for the next phase,” the post said.

People who fall into groups covered by 1A or 1B and have not set up a vaccination can contact their local health department.

To sign up: In Whiteside County, people can call 815-626-2230. In Lee County, that would mean emailing sgardner@ lchd.com. In Ogle County, call 815562-6976; in Carroll County, call 815244-8855. All have websites and Facebook pages where updated information will be posted.

Through Wednesday night, 2,112 doses of the vaccine had been administered in Whiteside County, with 384 residents fully vaccinated.

In Lee County, 1,183 doses have been given, with 181 people fully vaccinated. Ogle County has administered 1,736 doses and has 448 people fully vaccinated. Carroll County has had 381 doses and 38 people fully vaccinated.

Once vaccinations are through Phase 1B, Phase 1C will start, covering individuals with chronic health issues. After Phase 1C will come Phase 2, which likely will include the rest of the population.

is to help find as many positive cases before the weekend so we can intervene quickly and stop Coronavirus from spreading.

Antigen tests will be used to provide same day results. Together, we can work as a community to help prevent the spread of COVID-19 through testing, rapid identification of positive cases, isolation and quarantine.

As part of this initiative, participants will be called with results by the end of

the day they test. As antigen tests are not as reliable for confirming someone is truly negative, notes will only be provided for individuals who test positive.

As the test does not confirm a negative, notes will not be provided for negative results. WCCHC and WCHD do not recommend retesting if someone has tested positive in the last 90 days.

Antigen tests can be used to slow the spread of COVID-19 by providing rapid results. However, these tests are not as

sensitive as PCR tests and can produce a higher number of false negatives.

Rapid antigens testing may not detect COVID-19 in positive individuals if they are asymptomatic or early in their infectious period.

To keep COVID-19 from spreading, individuals who test negative should still follow CDC guidance for staying safe during daily activities and when going out. Learn more at: www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/

figures and activity for December.

Illinois State Police District 1 Troopers issued 212 citations, 289 written warnings, and made 13 criminal arrests during the month of December. Speeding accounted for 117 citations, and 7

citations were issued for distracted driving violations.

Troopers investigated 27 traffic crashes, assisted 106 motorists, and conducted 54 commercial vehicle inspections, 13 of which were placed out-of-service

for safety reasons. There were 3 arrests for driving under the influence.

District 1, which encompasses Carroll, Lee, Ogle, and Whiteside counties, investigated no fatal traffic crashes in December.

eingles@shawmedia.com Local health officials are steadily moving ahead through Phase 1A of COVID-19 vaccines, and beginning to lay the groundwork to move onto Phase 1B. The first phase, which includes healthcare workers from doctors and nurses to COVID testing site staff and EMS technicians, is in full swing.

There is no estimate for when departments will be through with Phase 1A, but preparations already are underway for Phase 1B, in which those older than 65, first responders, school employees, food and agriculture industry employees, corrections officers, postal workers, public transit workers, grocery store employees, and staff members at shelters or adult daycares will be vaccinated.

Vaccines are not yet being administered to people in those groups, but they get information and can sign up now. “[Phase] 1B is pretty broad, so we’re reaching out to certain organizations where we could do what’s called a closed pod, where we would go to their site,” Lee County Health Department administrator Cathy Ferguson said.

“We’re also going to be doing some community clinics. We’re still going to be doing them by appointment, because we still have certain allocations of vaccine we get. It’s not like we have an unlimited supply.”

FULTON

BY CODY CUTTER

ccutter@shawmedia.com Running a restaurant has been a lifelong dream come true for Renee Holmes, owner of Krumpets bakery and cafe in downtown Fulton.

That is, until, a pandemic gave her a rude awakening.

“There aren’t any profits right now, we’re operating at a loss,” Holmes said. “Before coronavirus, it was busy. Then it was a complete dive.”

Like many small business, the coronavirus took a big bite out of her bakery/cafe at 1016 Fourth Ave., making it tough to turn a profit, much less survive. Holmes, 60, has managed to keep her head above water, but it’s not been easy. She’s had to invest countless hours to find ways to keep her shop afloat.

Sometimes that meant revving up the online search engines to look for grants or any other help she could find.

“I scoured the internet, I scoured all of the government’s pages to find out how to get assistance,” Holmes said. “I filled out every single grant application that I came across,

came back in March, Holmes immediately went to work finding out what she would be able to do under the new rules. She had to plan carefully because, unlike other businesses, restaurants’ inventory has a more limited shelf life. Holmes had

to plan how much she could order for her made-from-scratch dishes and pastries – customers favorites such as Eggs Benedict and New England Benedict, not to mention the bakery’s lip-smacking lineup.

Having such a wide variety makes for a grocery bill that can add up quickly.

“When you’re buying groceries at the tune of $3,000 to $4,000 a week, and all of a sudden you suddenly shut down, you still got 2 weeks of $3,000 to $4,000 of groceries to pay for. So any reserve funds that I had paid the bills for the next month.”

Holmes applied for, and got, a Paycheck Protection Program loan and used to to pay her employees their full wages until the money was gone, and it’s all been forgiven. She also received $20,000 from a Women in Business Grant and another $80,000 from a Business Interruption Grant.

With the payroll aspect taken care of for the most part, it was time to think about how Holmes could keep the restaurant going.

“We’re working at a loss right now,” Holmes said. “Were it not for the grants, I wouldn’t be able

Continued from Page 7 to sustain this at all. Right now we’re spending more than we’re taking in, but with the grants, I’m able to maintain payroll to some degree, and trying to budget it out to try and sustain the place all the way through the end, whenever that is.”

While Holmes was looking in every which direction to find ways to keep her childhood dream alive, her customers and community have stepped up in big ways.

Fulton community leaders applied, but did not receive, a Downstate Economic Enhancement Grant, and several residents and customers of each of Fulton’s eateries took their $1,200 Economic Stimulus checks to the Whiteside County United Way with the request to disperse the money to restaurant employees in the community.

Gift cards of $100 were given out with that money from the Fulton Meat Market – which supplies Krumpets with fresh meat.

Even gratuities have helped tip the scales. Wads of dollar bills have become a common sight in a glass tip jar on the front counter. Holmes has even seen Ben Franklins – $100 – stuffed in it.

“The kindness, generosity and the commitment of the community is what brought me here, and keeps me here,” Holmes said. “It is incredible. It gives me goosebumps every

time I talk about it.”

It’s not just the restaurant that Holmes is trying to keep alive, it’s a legacy of four generations of family who have kept their customers’ appetites satisfied.

As a child growing up in Upstate New York in the 1960s, Holmes’ toy box looked more like a kitchen cabinet, with silverware, plates, fake food – and she called her own shots in an imaginary place of her own with a name of her own: Krumpets. Her mother and grandfather ran a restaurant in Upstate New York before moving to Clinton, Iowa, when Renee was young.

When she got older, Renee baked cakes and other goodies at the family truck stop in Clinton before finally making her make believe restaurant a reality nearly 15 years ago on the northwest side of town. It attracted people from Fulton, who wanted Holmes to move across the Mississippi River to be a little closer to them. So, 8 years ago, she made it happen and set up shop in Fulton.

The new location was a hit and she grew her business, eventually adding nearly 20 staff members, including her daughter, Jessica, who continues to manage the front of the place. Post-pandemic, however, Holmes had to cut her staff in half.

Some of the employees working

there now have been with Holmes since she opened 15 years ago. Justin Lange, 42, of Clinton, is one of them. The professionalism is what he enjoys about working at Krumpets.

“I get to come in and make soups, so I get to do that without having gone to culinary school,” he said.

“The style of cooking I get to do, the cleanliness of our kitchen – I’ve seen just about every type of kitchen and they’re sort of gross, but our kitchen is the total opposite of that.”

Things have changed for the kitchen staff these days, going from a grand display of whole products to individual products, and so far that’s working for them. Soups are being sold by the quart, and special dinners for two are made in takeand-bake fashion. All in an effort to adapt to unprecedented times, Holmes said.

As long as she has her loyal customers coming in – sometimes up to four times a week – Holmes has high hopes she’ll make it through.

“This little community is on top of the game,” she said. “They’re not going to lose – they won’t let that happen. I’d attribute my success to the locals; they want me here and are willing to do whatever to keep me here.

“It’s such a gratifying place to be in. My heart is full.”
