The answer to the often-asked question â&#x20AC;&#x153;was the hometown inventorâ&#x20AC;? recognized as the genius he was at the turn-of-the-century, 1901 when Charles Cotta introduced the revolutionary four-wheel drive and four-wheel steering he and the experienced mechanic, Harry Curtice built, literally piece by handmade piece.

Number one, an answer at that period could have countered by asking, â&#x20AC;&#x153;What is Four-Wheel Drive/ Four-Wheel Steering?â&#x20AC;? Almost no one had an answer because they hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t yet an idea what either was. There were probably fewer than a half dozen automobiles in the entire of Carroll County in 1901 when Charles Cotta

Many a person throughout America had the genes to put together an automobile, then a simple machine.

Cotta was assisted in building the Cotta-mobile by Harry Curtice who lived with the family for about six months as the â&#x20AC;&#x153;4x4â&#x20AC;? took form.

Several Lanark correspondents to papers published in other towns placed the cost to repair it at $200.00 while the real facts put the repair at $1.50 and two days work.

Edith Burt from near Shannon was hired

to teach at the Maple Grove school, now a residence about a mile from the Cotta farm.

Edith Burt married Charles Cotta December 28, 1897 and together they had two daughters, Winifred and Genevieve. Unfortunately Edith Cotta did not live long, dying at age thirty-nine, probably of meningitis leaving Cotta a widower with two small children.

By 1913 however, Cotta had met and married Lucinda Smith of Aurora. She is often-mentioned as passing through Lanark to go to the Sand Slough, Dyson Lake, Lainesville, the Mississippi in and in which he often took part. Fox hunts â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;cross country with a couple hundred â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;driversâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; was a sometime popular sport. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Nurseryâ&#x20AC;? the in-house post

A clause in the sale bill noted that any nursery items could be removed by the seller. Said to be a native lover, John Valentine Cotta gave thought to planting the treeless prairies. His son, Charles, had a different sort of genius.

Charles Cotta is being honored June 28 at Old Settlerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day.

SENATE WEEK IN REVIEW May 19-23, 2014

By IL State Senator Tim Bivins SPRINGFIELD â&#x20AC;&#x201C; As the General Assembly enters what should be its session, majority Democrats appeared to be in disarray and disagreement over the fate of the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 2011 â&#x20AC;&#x153;temporaryâ&#x20AC;? tax hike.

After the Governor called for a permanent extension of the tax hike in his annual budget address and the House Speaker and Senate President immediately endorsed the extension, most observers assumed that the permanent extension would be a foregone conclusion in the Democrat-controlled Legislature.

The administration and majority Democrat leaders also orchestrated a series of budget hearings to portray doomsday scenarios that would occur if they kept their promise to allow a major portion of the tax hike to expire.

A series of budget bills that endorse and spend the revenues from the tax hike cleared the House, but were put on hold. The House Speaker has said he does not have enough votes to pass the tax hike extension, even though a majority of House Democrats voted to spend the money from the tax hike.

Republicans, who unanimously opposed the 67% tax hike and its extension, remained skeptical that majority without the tax increase.

Throughout the spring legislative session, Republican lawmakers have argued that the drastic cuts outlined by the Governor and his allies exaggerate the impact of allowing the tax hike to expire. They point to new and

expanded spending that the Governor inserted in his budget, and say that with state revenues coming in higher than originally projected a budget could be crafted that allows the tax hike roll back in January.

Back to the future with the ERA In a diversion from the tax hike debate, some lawmakers sought to turn back the clock and resurrect a 40-year-old debate over the longAmendment (ERA).

The measure, Senate Joint Resolution Constitutional Amendment 75, was seen by many as a hollow gesture of the ERA expired in 1982. It was approved May 22 and its fate will now be decided by the House.

Several women legislators rose during debate to say they saw this as an attempt by Gov. Pat Quinn to distract women from the Governorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mismanagement of the state and its economy.

They pointed out that since Democrats took control of Illinois government in 2003, state debt has increased from $55 billion to $130 billion, meaning that a baby girl born in Illinois today is immediately responsible for $10,000 in State of Illinois debt.

They also noted that in 2013, Illinois had the sixth highest unemployment rate in America for women.

At 8.2%, unemployment for women was over a full point higher than the national average unemployment rate for women of 7.1%.

Call for basic school funding reform The best way to help all Illinois schools is to fully fund the

stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Foundation Levelâ&#x20AC;? education grant say State Senators Dale Righter (R-Mattoon), Jason Barickman (R-Bloomington) and Chapin Rose (R-Mahomet), who have introduced legislation to re-establish the Foundation Level as the number one funding priority in Illinoisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; education system.

Senate Bill 3664 requires the Foundation Level grant within the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s General State Aid formula be funded at 100 percent before directing education dollars to any other grant lines or programs. The lawmakers say this would be a simple, common sense approach that could be implemented in this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s budget.

When the current debate over the allocation of school funding got its start with the March 2013 report â&#x20AC;&#x153;School Funding in Illinois: An Examina-

What began as an effort to stop overly-zealous local authorities from shutting down the homemade cupcake business of 12-year-old Chloe Stirling of downstate Troy, may be turning into a new nightmare of regulations and rules, a group of Republican lawmakers say.

When House Bill 5354 was approved by the House it would have allowed smaller bake sales or lemonade stands to operate without burdensome rules, provided customers were made aware of the homemade nature of the items. However, as the measure worked its way through the committee hearing process in the Senate, it was loaded down with additional rules and regulations.

Now, Senators Kyle McCarter (R-Lebanon), Dave Syverson (R-Rockford) and Jim Oberweis the steady erosion of the Foundation (R-Sugar Grove) say they think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Level, as more and more funds were diverted to special programs that aid

When House Speaker Mike Madigan polled members of his caucus Wednesday, only 34 said they would support making the 67 percent tax hike permanent.

A stone-faced Madigan left the closed-door meeting and said it was time for lawmakers to look for places to cut.

The other Trustees agreed with him.

The Village will not be advertising in the programs.

Committee Reports Stage said he had a quote to refurbish the dump truck from Bonnellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. They will charge $5,774.40 to redo the truck. They will blast and repaint the truck and the underside of the body. There is some rust starting and Stage thinks we need to get it

Stage said we have budgeted for manhole repair and we need to start doing some. There are two manholes, one on 2nd Street and another on 3rd Street that need to be taken care of.

Miller said there is a storm sewer they need to work on also.

Stage said the crew has been patching potholes and Erickson will be coming soon to go over the other

truck for at least ten more years. The Trustees felt this would be money well spent. It will be on the agenda next for the June 2 meeting.

The water testing company needs to be chosen for this year.

Wirth said the Dollar General Store sent the Village an email stating that they hope to be open on the 18th of June. He said the Village may have water problems at the store in the winter as the State engineered a water run off area that goes on to Route 40. He hopes it works but says we will have to wait and see.

West Carroll Board To Investigate Dual Enrollment Program With Highland MICHAEL MILLER For The Prairie Advocate News THOMSON â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The West Carroll School Board agreed to investigate a proposed plan to offer dual credit courses with Highland Community College for those students interested and qualifying, at the Boardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s May 21, 2014 meeting at the Thomson Intermediate School in Thomson.

Attending the meeting were Board members Mark Klein, Dawn Rath, Beverly Kilpatrick, Jerry Anderson, John Brighman, Jessica Edwards and Mike Highland (President). Also present were Superintendent Craig Mathers, as well as principals Bob Lamb, Jeannette Ashby, Julie Katzenberger, Technology Director Brad Field Manager/Recording Secretary.

Administrative Reports Lamb said that in three years the district has gone from 16 to 28 students taking dual credit courses, with a rise in credits earned from 178 to 248 during the same time period.

He also noted that this is his last report to the Board and looked back at a wish list he had presented Mathers with when Mathers began at the school in 2008. Lamb ommented that despite extreme economic hardships during that time, much of the list of items had been either achieved or was in process. He credited those accomplishmets to hard work and dedication by the Board and Mathers.

Mathers said, commenting on Julie Katzenbergerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s report, that while less than 24 percent of schools in Illinois currently take the PARCC tests, West Carroll has demonstrated that the district is ready for it if they decide to keep it, and able to take on all the extra work that this entails.

Field delivered a quite lengthy report, most of it dealing with details on the new voiceover IP program for the Middle and Primary Schools.

Instead of a dedicated phone line, the phone will actually be operating as computers and the connection will come through the districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s internet service. He said this was a much cleaner and much less expensive

method than the current one, though it will be a capital investment.

He said his research indicated that within two years schools make back their investment in this program. Field added that while the district currently has four separate systems for phone service, going to voiceover IP will allow them to have one system for the whole district which should save on costs of multiple service contracts and calls.

Mathers reported that the Dismove to Mount Carroll, with the Primary and Preschool scheduled to move on the 24th of June.

He summarized Senate Bill #16 which he said may well pass next year. He said it involves a redistribution of wealth in the State of Illinois whereby all the state aid and grant funding for the schools will be placed â&#x20AC;&#x153;in one pot.â&#x20AC;?

Districts with high Estimated Assessment Values stand to lose a lot of money under this situation, the superintendent said, and that the equation for funding keys is on EAV, bilingual education and poverty ratios. All of this apparently bodes into all of these categories, with the district potentially seeing a boost of an extra $800,000.00 a year.

Mathers said that if the current state budget stays in place, general state aid will be prorated at transportation funding will go back itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s normal rate, again, helping the district.

Dual Enrollment Mathers told the board heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d been approached by a parent whose child wishes to dual enroll at both West Carroll and either Highland or Sauk Valley next year in order to jump start his college studies to take harder courses to get into the University of Illinois.

He said in checking with other districts, he was referred back to the board policy which currently has them following ISBE guidelines

was coming before the board to ask their opinion on the matter. He urged them to think of the future, where hopefully students will be coming into the district once the Thomson prison opens. He wantedthem to think aboutprojectingthe district as a progressive school whose policies would not seem restrictive to these studentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; future plans.

Anderson wondered how this would affect kids who wish to participate in sporting events that have to have a certain amount of time in class in order to qualify, and Mathers said that might necessitate documentation from college instructors verifying attendance and grades.

Highland wondered if this would affect seniors only, and Lamb said that he felt it would be better to start with seniors as it would work better with them, but general consensus was to remain open to expanding it to non-seniors down the line.

Lamb said in conversations he had had with Highland, they had indicated a willingness to allow West Carroll students a drastically reduced fee for pursuing such a plan.

The Board elected to have Mathers look into developing a policy regarding this, and was overall very positive in its response to the issue.

Another policy item brought up was the possibility of allowing the children of staff members who live in another district to attend West Carroll free of tuition. The district would get general state aid for these students, Mathers said, but not the tax dollars.

One positive he noted was the impression such a move leaves in the community, i.e. that if a staff member wants to bring his child here, it must be because of superior education, which is a good signal to others. The Board decided to move forward on this matter.

Presentation Candy Silvius gave a lengthy presentation regarding SEL,

or Social Emotional Learning, described as â&#x20AC;&#x153;the process through which children and adults acquire the knowledge, attitudes, and skills they need to recognize and manage their emotions, demonstrate caring and concern for others, establish positive relationships, make responsible decisions and handle challenging situations constructively.â&#x20AC;?

She said there are agencies that provide screening for such a program which allows schools to be proactive, not reactive, to student needs and helps to identify individuals who might be at risk for having social emotional problems. She advocated adopting such a program for West Carroll due to itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s socio-economic makeup.

Mathers wondered if the program could be successfully enacted with only two people at this point, and Silvius said she felt it could as long as there was cooperation from the teachers.

New Business The Board approved the bid from Selective Insurance for itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s property and casualty coverage for the 2014-2015 school year, at a price of $65,441.00 as well as a treasurerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bond from Brokerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Risk for $2,347.00.

The Board renewed the districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s health insurance coverage from Blue Cross/Blue Shield as presented, as Updates, PRESS Issue 84.

The Board approved the scheduling of a budget hearing to discuss the amended 2014 budget, which will occur Wednesday, June 18th, as well as the adoption of the 2014-2015 school calendar.

Mathers updated the Board on the latest from the Area Vocational Center, with West Carroll students attending in the afternoon, with a change in the funding plan for the center. West Carroll will still be sending 54 students to the AVC, with a $24,000.00 decrease in tuition for those students, mostly due to the fact

urman reported that we have received most of the grant funding from the state this year. In addition, next yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s grant application is being completed and will be submitted soon.

During Legislative issues update, Superintendent Schurman reported that implementation of Pension Reform has been halted by order of a circuit judge in central Illinois. In regards to school funding it is not clear what our funding level will be at this time.

Principalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Report Principal Rademacher reported that only 18 students have been registered for Kindergarten next year which is an alarmingly low number. In addition, she reported that Prom and Graduation went well.

Small Town Meets Big City

Pearl City 6th Grade Students visit the National Mississippi River Museum On Monday, May 19, 2014, the sixth grade classes of Mrs. Sandy Scott and Mrs. Kim Lorig of Pearl City school visited the National Mississippi River Museum in Dubuque, Iowa. Students participated in the Wet and Wild class, which included using dip nets (photo) to seek out underwater creatures that live in a wetland. Students then were able to act as scientists tolerant or pollution intolerant.

Free Luncheon in Mount Carroll

Students from Pearl City High School Social Studies classes ventured to Chicago on Saturday, May 17, 2014 for a day of learning, sightseeing, and fun.

The all day trip began with the Museum of Science and Industry, where students explored and interacted with exhibits. Next it was on to the downtown area where students were given a chance to experience the grandeur of Macyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s on State inside the historic Marshall Fieldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Building. Students were allowed to explore the store or the surrounding area for a small taste of shopping and food.

Then it was on to a walking tour of some of Chicagoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s historic buildings in the Loop area; Marina City left the biggest impression. Last was a dining experience at Ed Debevicâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 50s/60s Diner, known for its obnoxious and overtly rude wait staff.

The students and chaperones made the trip a huge success with many memories created. Thanks to Garrett Slick jams with some street musicians in downtown Chicago. all who attended.

Emerald Ash Borer Management Workshops Has Emerald Ash Borer come to an ash tree near you? Unfortunately, it may have. Two EAB Management Workshops will be held to give area residents an opportunity to learn more about EAB treatment and management options.

give up on ash trees. It does mean the time has arrived for homeowners and those responsible for tree care implement an EAB plan,” according to Jay Solomon, Extension’s Energy and Environmental Stewardship Educator.

The workshop will cover the history, life cycle, and control options for emerald ash borer, as well as the management choices available for selectively saving your ash tree.

There will be time for participants to ask questions.

The emerald ash borer is a small, metallic-green beetle native to Asia.

Its larvae burrow under the bark of ash trees, causing the trees to starve

and eventually die. Ash trees can be infested with EAB for a few years before the tree begins to demonstrate any signs of an EAB infestation.

The EAB Quarantine Zone has been expanded to include Jo Daviess, Carroll, Whiteside, and other counties near the Mississippi River in northwest Illinois. The implication of these changes will also be discussed.

The fee for the EAB Management Workshop is $5. For more information or to register for the Whiteside County workshop, call 815-7724075 or go online: web.extension. illinois.edu/clw. To register for the Jo Daviess County program, call 815-858-2273 or go online: web. extension.illinois.edu/jsw.

The Driver's Seat

A thought from Carroll County Transit: does much better in fresh air and sunshine so donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hesitate to let it out and show it around. You can show your consideration to the driver and other riders by being on time and ready for your pickup.

Be considerate to your driver.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s OK to talk to them but not so

much that they canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t concentrate on their driving, keeping you and everyone else on the road safe. Be considerate to fellow riders by speaking, and listening to them. Finally, be considerate to the world around you.

Pick up after yourself keeping CCT vehicles and the county clean and litter free. Thanks, enjoy the summer.

Area Seniors Win Honors at CCSSO Spelling Bee May 21, 2014 — Local adults age 50 and older participated in a local Illinois State Senior Spelling Bee competition hosted by Carroll County Senior Services Org. on May 21 at the Carroll County Senior Center in Mount Carroll.

Showing a talent for spelling, the following contestants won the honors and will advance to the regional Spelling Champion, Ruth Yoeckle, Milledgeville; Runner-Up, Sheryl A. Schoenwolf, Mount Carroll; and Alternate, James B. Ritter, Mount Carroll.

A change in the rules this year that eliminated contestants upon misspelling one word instead of two, resulted in the competition going only three rounds. Schoenwolf incorrectly spelled harangue, and Yoeckle spelled it correctly, becoming the winner.

Local spelling bees are being held throughout Illinois in 2014.

Local winners and runners up will advance to regional semi-finals.

The State Finals will be held at the Illinois Building Auditorium at the 2014 Illinois State Fair on Senior Day, Monday, Aug. 11, 2014.

The Illinois State Senior Spelling Bee competition is an exciting statewide program that provides Illinois senior citizens the opportunity to showcase a lifetime of knowledge and to celebrate years of experience through their spelling abilities. This effort is coordinated by the Association of Illinois Senior Centers, the Illinois Department on Aging, and local senior organizations throughout Illinois.

The Carroll County Senior Center is located at 306 N. Main St. in downtown Mount Carroll with hours

of 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. Monday-Friday.

For additional information, call the Senior Center at 815-244-1800, toll free 866-214-1959, or stop in. A calendar of events is posted monthly on their website at www.ccseniorcenter. org, and their monthly newsletter, The Grape Vine, is distributed in The Prairie Advocate News as a special section.

Activities for the senior population include crafts, quilting, recycling, bingo, yoga, and trips to places of interest. Seniors can even stop in for a game of pool or to use the treadmill, recumbent bike, rowing machine, and Wii games and Wii The Senior Center offers assistance and services on Circuit Breaker, Medicare, Social Security, Low Income Heating Energy Assistance (LIHEAP), tax preparation (provided

by AARP), outreach counseling, referral assistance, assessment tax freeze and transportation.

Special programs are held on defensive driving, rules of the road, and grandparents raising grandchildren. Health programs, coordinated with Freeport Health Network (FHN), are also frequently offered.

Personalized services are available free of charge to seniors, including notarizing, faxing and making copies. Seniors are also allowed to check their email and check out books, puzzles, and videos.

And free coffee and cookies are always available.

The Center is funded through senior real estate tax, NIAAA grants, donations from organizations, churches, townships, and private citizens, and also from crafts, quilters, and paper and aluminum can recycling.
