2018 ELECTION: U.S. CONGRESS

From contractor to candidate in the 16th District Trump supporter and local resident DeBates seeks office

BY DAVE COOK news@putnamcountyrecord.com McNABB — The upcoming 2018 mid-term elections are sure to be highly competitive and potentially significant after Donald Trump’s first year in office.

Many of these races will feature newcomers to the political arena, and one such candidate for the 16th Congressional District seat, Jaye R. DeBates, happens to be from Putnam County.

Currently a general contractor working out of McNabb and president of the Professional Roofing Association of Illinois, DeBates is also the acting chairman of the Putnam County Republican Party.

Along with being a small busi-

ness owner, he’s also an Eagle Scout, a college graduate, an NRA pistol instructor, a women’s self-defense instructor, and a Bible study and Sunday school teacher. The first big political effort he was a part of was campaigning for former Illinois Gov. James Thompson.

“After working very hard on President Trump’s successful presidential campaign and after careful prayer, I realized I needed to go to Washington to support and help President Trump finish making America the strongest nation in the world,” DeBates said of what prompted his candidacy.

His background in small business was another inspiration.

“I will stand up for the working man in my district. We need to have a strong, godly congressman in the 16th congressional district. We need more godly representation throughout the country. The winds of change are spreading across this great

land, and the status quo politicians have become a burden to this great country,” DeBates said.

Calling President Trump “magnifiJaye cent,” DeBates said DeBates he thinks the current 16th Congressional District representative, Adam Kinzinger, is ineffective and not representative of the local people.

“Kinzinger is and was a Jeb Bush supporter and is also a disrupter who constantly speaks against President Trump,” DeBates said.

“Adam has bashed our president on CNN, MSNBC and other places where they’d give him a platform. We want a leader that speaks the truth, does what voters ask him to do, and follows through with President Trump’s agenda,” he said.

“If we wanted a television personality, we would have elected

one. It’s all about us, the voter, the taxpayer, the worker. The politicians have to be reminded they work for us, not the other way around,” DeBates said.

DeBates said voters should support him because he’ll work in the same way as Trump and will stay in touch with his constituents by visiting local churches and attending county meetings.

Some of DeBates’ priorities include term limits with a maximum of 12 years in any position; limits on pensions, including no mandatory pensions; limiting special privileges including receiving the same health care as veterans; and a lifetime ban on being a lobbyist after term limits.

“Pay must be brought in line with the normal working man or woman. The base salary of our current congressman is $3,346.15 a week, or $174,000 per year, plus benefits,” DeBates said.

Other priorities include man-

datory district meetings so voters can more easily access their representatives and hold them accountable, bringing the opioid crisis under control, welfare control and border control.

DeBates proposes to end the hiring practice of bringing in foreign labor through visa programs.

“Build the wall. We have willing and ready Americans that can help build this nation; let’s get them back to work. America first!” he said.

The current roster of 16th Congressional District candidates includes three Republicans: DeBates; Kinzinger of Channahon; and James T. Marter of Oswego. For the Democrats, four candidates filed: Neill Mohammad of DeKalb; Sara Dady of Rockford; Beth Vercolio-Osmund of Ottawa; and Amy Briel of Joliet.

AGRICULTURE

Illinois pesticide applicators receiving special training weeds in soybean fields.

Illinois has more than 15,000 licensed agriculture pesticide applicators that could potentially use these herbicides in 2018, so the scope of the training effort is significant.

“Illinois is the first state to begin training on these new requirements, and the attendance of farmers and commercial applicators at these training programs has been phenomenal, with over 1,000 applicators trained in just the first few weeks of classes” said Raymond Poe, director of the Illinois Depart-

ment of Agriculture.

Illinois Farm Bureau President Richard Guebert added, “Illinois farmers are committed to the effective stewardship of this important soybean technology, and the great turnout at these training classes is a testament to how seriously farmers take the issue of proper pesticide use.”

The Illinois Fertilizer & Chemical Association (IFCA) developed a website to facilitate the training. The class schedule, frequently asked questions, helpful resources

and online registration for classes is available at www.ifca.com/illinoisdicambatraining. IDoA approved the training

materials for the 90-minute classes to ensure quality and consistency. Those completing the training receive a certifi-

STATE REGULATIONS

State rolls back LLC filing fees to support business CHICAGO — Gov. Bruce Rauner signed legislation last week that reduces startup, annual filing, and other fees for limited liability companies (LLCs), the organizational structure preferred by many of Illinois’ 1.2 million small businesses.

Rauner said the new law will encourage more businesses to form in Illinois rather than go to other states to escape high fees.

Effective immediately, the filing fee for new LLCs drops to $150 from $500, and annual report fees drop to $75 from $250.

Previously, Illinois charged fees that were among the highest in the nation, Rauner said.

“This is a step in the right direction for our small businesses,” Rauner said. “The new rates

are more competitive with other states. By easing the fee burden for LLCs here, we are sending a message to entrepreneurs and small business owners in Illinois: Start here and stay here.”

The governor signed the bill in the presence of dozens of small business advocates gathered at Level Office, an LLC that provides shared office space for startups. Level Office began in Chicago and now has facilities across the country.

“Small businesses are the engines of our economy, our job creators who employ the majority of new workers in our state each year,” Lt. Gov. Evelyn Sanguinetti, chairwoman of the Governor’s Rural Affairs Council, said.

“We need to keep them

here and help them grow, and this legislation will reduce their costs and make us more competitive with surrounding states.

This is especially important for our small towns because we need more small businesses in rural Illinois to drive their economies and create jobs.”

State Sen. Chuck Weaver is a Peoria Republican who was among those sponsoring the legislation

in the Illinois Senate.

“The creation of new businesses is one of our best tools to help grow both jobs and our state economy,” Weaver said.

“This new law will help encourage our entrepreneurs to launch new businesses, which will create new opportunities for growth. This is a win for Illinois.”

Department of Commerce and Economic

Opportunity Director Sean McCarthy said reducing LLC fees sends a positive signal.

“We support businesses that are looking to grow, invest and create new jobs in our state, regardless of their size,” McCarthy said. “SB 867 helps alleviate unnecessary burdens to allow Illinois businesses to thrive.”

“This bipartisan initiative is about much more than reducing some of the highest LLC fees in the nation,” agreed Small Business Advocacy Council CEO Elliot Richardson.

“It is about leveling the playing field for small businesses, encouraging new businesses to form in our state, and growing our way toward economic stability.”

Other state legislators hailed the action.

“As a small business owner myself, I know the challenges small businesses face to compete and grow,” said state Rep. Carol Sente, D-Vernon Hills, primary House sponsor of the bill. “Organizing and paying filing and renewal fees shouldn’t be so costly here, and now they won’t be.”

State Sen. Tom Cullerton, D-Villa Park, was the chief co-sponsor of the legislation in the Senate.

“This new law displays our state’s commitment to stimulating and revitalizing Illinois’ economy,” he said. “Cutting startup fees will help new businesses get off the ground and set up roots here in Illinois.

Encouraging economic development in our state will help create new jobs, increase the tax base and grow our economy.”

IN BRIEF Museum plans exhibit on state’s four presidents

​SPRINGFIELD — The Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum will help celebrate the state’s 200th birthday with a major new exhibit about the four presidents who have called Illinois their home, Executive Director Alan Lowe announced.

The exhibit, titled “From

Illinois to the White House: Lincoln, Grant, Reagan, Obama,” will explore their connections to the Prairie State, their political battles, the first ladies who helped them succeed, and much more.

Visitors will see amazing documents and artifacts, including Ronald Reagan’s yearbook from his high school days in Dixon,

the table where Ulysses S. Grant accepted Robert E. Lee’s surrender during the Civil War, an original draft of Barack Obama’s speech at the 50th anniversary of the Selma civil rights march, and the briefcase Abraham Lincoln used as president.

“From Illinois to the White House” will open March 23 and run through the end of 2018.

“You don’t want to be so sore you can’t get back in for your next training day. Start slow and gradually increase,” Nick Davis, recreation and aquatics coordinator for the Metro Center, said.

“Do things slowly and consistently. Set a schedule, stick to it and consider it as an appointment for yourself,” David Potthoff, the IV YMCA’s CEO, said.

“Our water exercise classes offer those worried about injuries a low-impact option and you don’t need to know how to swim either,” Sandy Hrasch of the Hennepin Park District said.

All three said their facilities experience a noticeable increase in new memberships and attendance after the first of the year.

“Our Cardio Room becomes really popular during January and February, but it usually tapers off mid-March. Personal training and our group fitness classes are better attended. A lot of times, the group atmosphere helps people achieve those goals because they’re able to exercise with a friend and that creates a push. Other people need that personal trainer to set up and achieve their goals, with a little extra motivation,” Davis said.

Potthoff said the attendance increase at the YMCA is a combination of new members and existing members who have recommitted themselves to their fitness.

“The most common methods of exercise our members choose is walking, swimming and treadmills,” he said, adding the YMCA also has certified professional trainers available.

And if beginning a new fitness routine isn’t challenging enough, the thought of doing it in public can create an additional source of anxiety.

“Don’t be intimidated. Intimidation is often what keeps people away from the gym. Everyone is there for the same reason — to

better themselves. If you don’t know what you’re doing, just ask! We’re always happy to give you an orientation if you don’t know how to use the equipment.

When you get started, don’t stop, make it a habit,” Davis advised.

“The most important thing is to just do something. Stay active and try to work out with a friend or even a group of friends so you can encourage each other.

Our group classes are as social as they are active,” Hrasch said.

Davis, Potthoff and Hrasch all agreed the social aspect of exercise can be an essential part of a fitness routine.

“I think personal training and group fitness classes tend to be overlooked. These are great ways to get fit, if you lack the motivation to do it on your own.

Our classes and trainers can set you on the right path, and then you can take it from there,” Davis said.

“Our certified personal trainers can help you develop your fitness routine safely, and if you’d like to exercise with a friend or even a group of friends, we offer several waterand land-based group classes,” Pothoff said.

“No matter what your age or fitness level is, we have something for you, and our group classes are always popular,” Hrasch said.

For those who are more competitively inclined, the Metro Center is even offering a game show approach to losing weight.

“Since the most common goal I see is to lose weight, I’m hosting a Biggest Loser Challenge at the start of the New Year. The challenge is free to members and only $5 for non-members, and the biggest loser wins a free annual membership,” Davis announced.

Dealing with Old South sticks it being a to beleaguered Illinois grandma A lookalike

T

here is a dear, sweet lady who went to our church who I wanted to tackle like the Rock goes after Jericho in WWF. She was about 4 foot 10 inches tall and weighed about as much as my COMMENTARY largest dog. She was ancient in years and wise as an owl, Lori but she was a little confused.

At the time, I was 38 years Boekeloo old, and I was beginning to feel my age a bit. My checkup that year at the doctor included the news that my blood pressure was elevated, I had a blood clot in my leg, and I had something called “metabolic syndrome.” I think the doctor was just trying to tell me I was fat, but apparently it has to do with pre-diabetes.

Anyway, I had always felt young and invincible. I considered myself “the sturdy girl” and could lift heavy things and was physically capable of quite a bit. Now, at 50, I had my “sturdy girl card” revoked when I smashed my finger a few years ago and passed out in a log loading incident that made my brother frantically dial 911 while he hovered over me in the backyard (but that’s a funny story for another time).

My behavior also reflected my youthful attitude. I was silly and liked to dance. I made weird faces and tended to be socially inappropriate. I still liked humor about poop and gross stuff. I would like to chalk it up to the fact that I surrounded myself with little people night and day, but in my heart, I know it was just immaturity. As I write all of this in the past tense, I have to admit that nothing has changed.

So imagine my surprise when this wonderful Christian woman approached me one Sunday as I cradled my newest niece (who was only a few weeks old) and asked, “How does it feel to be a grandma?”

I almost dropped the poor child in an attempt to control myself from alternately crying and wanting to hurt this lady.

After all, my own children were only 2 and 7 at the time. I was horrified that I looked that old. I certainly did not feel that old.

I got a later start in the department of motherhood than some, but I was not ancient. I suppose technically I could have been a grandma if I had been a child prodigy in the art of sexuality and had a child who followed close in my footsteps.

There were girls I had gone to high school with who were already rocking their grandchildren to sleep. I also know that there may have been some confusion over the fact that my mother-in-law at the time (who is the grandma to that child) is only 10 years older than I am, and is married to my ex-husband’s father who is also named John. They look similar, but are far apart in age.

When I thought about it, I realized that my initial shock came from the fact that it could be true. I was old enough to be a grandma. The possibility existed. It made me uncomfortable and made me squirm, because I knew it could be true.

How would I feel if someone asked me, “How does it feel to be a sinner?’’ I would experience that same kind of discomfort. I would know that even if I tried really hard not to be, the possibility always exists that I would sin or indulge in sin. I don’t like the way the question makes me feel.

So, from then on, whenever I saw this lady coming toward me, I put on a smile, stood up straight and tried really hard to look young.

And every time, I resisted the urge to trip her as she passed.

provision in the recently enacted federal tax bill eliminates deductions for state income taxes paid and limits property tax deductions. This is like a dagger in the back to Illinois and other Blue (Democratic) States.

At the same time, this proviso increases the pocketbook attractiveness of the Old South, stretching across Florida to Texas, as a place to locate.

To add insult to injury, government programs in the Old South have been kept afloat for decades by Blue State federal taxes that are transferred to Old Dixie.

And I am just cynical enough to think that incredibly savvy Southern members of Congress are chuckling among themselves over their bourbon and branch water about the double win they achieved. And I’ll bet their state economic development offices are dusting off their “move to our state” ads for showing in Blue State markets.

Let me explain.

In 2013, the last year for which I have handy-dandy state rankings on my bookshelves, Illinois paid about $11 billion in state individual income taxes. Those of us who itemize our returns will no longer be able to deduct our shares of that $11 billion on our federal tax forms.

This may not increase my taxes much, but it will increase big time those of upper-middle and upper-income taxpayers in Illinois. These are exactly the people we want to retain in Illinois because they create wealth and jobs.

Other Blue States, primarily located on the West Coast and in the Northeast, have much higher top marginal individual income tax rates

UNDERSTANDING ILLINOIS Jim Nowlan

than Illinois, so will bear even more of this new tax burden.

I toted up the potential lost deductions for California, the Northeast including New York, and Illinois: $125 billion in state income taxes that can no longer be deducted.

Then I looked at total potential lost deductions for the Old South (Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina and Florida). These totaled just $25 billion, even though these states have 80 percent of the population of the Blue States above.

Texas and Florida famously have no individual income taxes. The Lone Star State benefits, however, from oil and gas revenue. It also puts a sales tax on almost everything; Illinois does not.

Florida welcomes millions of snowbirds each winter; they pay sales taxes while in the Sunshine State, but rarely have children and grandchildren in public schools and universities there.

As for the Blue States keeping Old Dixie afloat: First, the Blue States noted above all receive less than a dollar back from the federal government for every dollar they pay in taxes to D.C. This, according to a well-researched May 2014 article in the Atlantic magazine.

Illinois is almost at the bottom (48th), getting only 80 cents back for every dollar we send.

In sharp contrast, South Carolina receives $8 (!) back from our federal

government for every $1 it sends (many military bases and high poverty in South Carolina, I assume).

Florida, about $5 for every $1 it kicks in.

Louisiana and Alabama, about $3.50 per $1 delivered to D.C. I have worried in my dreams that the U.S. is about to tip over because of the weight of all the military bases and other federal installations located in the South.

The Old South is the heart of Red State strength. Their treatment of the Blue States in my illustration is both partisan and sectional.

This sectionalism is likely to become more accentuated, at least in the coming few decades. Americans are rearranging themselves, generally speaking, to locate with more like-minded folks.

Oldsters are moving south. Young professionals are moving to the big cities. Highly educated folks tend to live on the coasts. The young continue to flee jobless rural areas, leaving behind older, less well-educated residents.

This tends to make the Red States more so, and Blue States ditto. This may add, if more is possible, to the hyper partisanship we see in Congress.

Illustration: For decades, Illinois had one GOP U.S. senator and one Dem. If the majority party caucus had a bill that might hurt Illinois, we always had a senator inside that caucus to try to protect the state. No longer.

Thus, I hope you can see why I fear this new sectionalism, for Illinois will tend to be a loser in this game, at least in the short run.

Disappearing act a sign of the times I love newspapers. And for the past 30 years, I’ve had a particular infatuation with the newspaper vending machine.

Oh, I know it sounds silly, but I still get a thrill out of seeing my name or photo staring out from behind the glass as I walk down the street.

But sadly, these machines are slowly disappearing from the landscape.

There are a lot of reasons for it. But the biggest reason is the economics of the industry have changed, and folks aren’t carrying around enough quarters, David Enoch, a veteran newspaper circulation manager, told me.

Instead, newspapers are relying more on convenience stores and other retailers to sell their products.

Yes, I understand business models change. But, hey, I still miss the glass milk bottles that used to be left on our porch when I was a kid. So why can’t I long for the glory days of the steel rack on the street corner?

Newspapers were designed to look good peering out from those windows.

I remember back when I was a reporter in the Quad-Cities and thought I had a big scoop, I would stay up until the competition filled their machines, just to make sure I had beaten them.

Now, of course, reporters monitor the competition by visiting websites.

It certainly is more efficient. But not nearly as much fun as driving from vending machine to vending machine at 3 a.m.

SPRINGFIELD SCOOP Scott Reeder

During my first newspaper job at the Galveston Daily News, I learned just how important newspaper vending machines could be.

Whenever a hurricane brewed in the Gulf of Mexico, crews would haul all the vending machines to safety before the storm hit. And, of course, once the storm was over, they’d haul them back to stand sentinel outside cafes, diners and barber shops.

One time, I had written a story on a murder case where the defendant was being retried after his first trial ended in a mistrial.

It seems a witness was a bit too honest in the first trial. A prosecutor asked why he was frightened of the defendant, and the man said, “Because he has killed before.”

It was a truthful answer, but not something the judge wanted jurors to hear.

Consequently, a mistrial occurred.

The day jury selection was to begin in the second trial, a story I had written appeared on the front page explaining why the man was being retried for murder.

The judge on the case worried that his jury pool had been contaminated.

So, each potential juror was brought into the courtroom alone and questioned about what they remembered reading in the newspaper that morning.

One older woman sat on the witness stand and was grilled by the lawyers.

The interrogation by the defense lawyer went like this: “Ma’am did you read the Galveston Daily News this morning?”

“Yes.” “Did you read a story about a jury being selected for a murder trial?”

“Well, yes -- but I only read the first sentence of the story.”

At this point the defense attorney nearly snarled, “You knew you were being called today for jury service in a murder trial, and you saw a story on the front page of the newspaper about jury selection for a murder trial, and you expect us to believe you only read the first sentence of the article? How can that be, ma’am?”

The woman shifted uncomfortably on the witness stand and explained: “I got to the courthouse early and saw the newspaper machine out front. I started to read the story through the little window in the machine, but I didn’t have a quarter to buy the paper.”
