The Eastland Jr/Sr High School art collection is now on display at the showcased for the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Night of Possibilitiesâ&#x20AC;? and will continue to be on display until June 21st.

Sometimes I can hear a motorcycle all the way to the north entrance of the Palisades Park. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m over 3 miles from the entrance so I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t understand how that is right. If my truck was at that level, I would be pulled over and ticketed. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not sure why this is being tolerated. Revenue is not the most important thing for our county.

Another fact is that motorcycle riders join groups. Those groups wear colors distinguishing themselves from the others. When people create groups like â&#x20AC;&#x153;Brothers Clubâ&#x20AC;? off of Doty Road, it makes me wonder what is happening and what direction is our county going. The more lenient we are the more problems we are going to have in the future.

I would like to discuss an ordinance for decibel level and actually do out a solution that works for everyone living and visiting our community. We canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have visitors who create their own rules based purely on their numbers. There are numerous examples

on the news across the nation exposing ing, injuries, and deaths that have taken place because of road rage between motorcycles and automobile drivers.

Why do Carroll County citizens have to fear going to Savanna wondering when that same situation is going to happen to them? When does Savanna or Mt. Carroll experience an because of a motorcyclist being in the middle of the intersection holding up other drivers? I want to stop being reactive and start being proactive when it comes to issues like this that is facing us head on as citizens of this county.

I challenge the Board, Police force, and the citizens to do the right thing by all the parties involved. I know by putting our minds to this topic we can all come up with something that will work for all parties.

Thank you for your time and review of this issue.

Regards, Scott Preston Savanna IL

One Man’s Opinion I so admire the lady Condoleezza Rice – Educator, Diplomat, Former Secretary of State, an exceptional person in every sense of the word.

As children we all have our heroes. As adults, perhaps it’s more

and think of those who have made the world a better place.

Perhaps it’s my deep love for Illinois that puts Abraham Lincoln near the top of my list along with Ronald Reagan. Of course my parents instilled in me many of life’s values.

Several teachers come to mind as do my military days as people who positively affected my life.

In the broader picture of those on the world stage that I believe have positively affected many, Henry Ford comes to mind as the father of the assembly line. Mother Teresa and her never ending work with those less fortunate. I could go on and on with Thomas Edison, President John Kennedy, Gandhi and so many others. We all have reasons for those we respect.

Then there is the sting when someone we admire is shunned. Such is the case when several weeks ago Former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice was invited to give the commencement address at Rutgers University, the State University of in this institution of higher learning decided that she was less than desirable. I personally was shocked and angered.

Dr. Rice decided it better to step aside than create more controversy.

By Jim Sacia

The controversy centered on her service as National Security Advisor to President George W. Bush and her “destruction in Iraq at the hands of the Bush Administration”, this according to Faculty Council Member Robert Boikess who presented and moved for adoption of a resolution in opposition to Dr. Rice as commencement speaker.

Dr. Rice wrote, “I am honored to have served my country, I have defended America’s belief in free speech and the exchange of ideas.

These values are essential to the health of our democracy. But that is not what is at issue here. As a professor for thirty years at Stanford University and as its former provost stand and embrace the purpose of the commencement ceremony and I am simply unwilling to detract from it in any way.”

Not many do I hold in higher esteem than this gifted public servant. When we bow to the wishes of a few radicals, especially at such a highly regarded educational institution it saddens me greatly.

In fairness to the administration at Rutgers, their invitation stood. The few radical punks and professors got their way. Free speech and the majority lost out. I understand and respect Dr. Rice’s decision.

What is so disappointing is the opportunity lost to so many to hear words of wisdom from such a brilliant icon who has shared the world’s stage. The left loves free speech as long as it’s theirs.

Reeder Report budget SPRINGFIELD – Republicans and Democrats may not agree on much when it comes to the state budget, but one thing they do agree on is the one passed by the House this week doesn’t do any favors for whoever wins the November governor’s race.

“The Democrats are calling spends more money,” said state Sen. Kyle McCarter, R-Lebanon. “But it sure sounds good when they say it’s In fact, it increases state spending by $850 million.

“Government by its very nature grows,” state Sen. Mike Jacobs, D-East Moline. “You just can’t expect it not to grow from one year to the next.”

It’s an odd statement.

I have friends who haven’t seen a pay raise for more than a half dozen years.

Savanna Moves Ahead With Demolition of Dilapidated Buildings MICHAEL MILLER For The Prairie Advocate News SAVANNA — The Savanna City Council took action to demolish several dilapidated properties in the City, continuing the ongoing effort to beautify the City and enforce ordinance code violations, at the May 27, 2014 meeting of the Council at 333 Chicago Avenue.

The meeting was attended by Council members Bill Robinson, Jeff Griswold, Peg Haffey, Ray Skiles, Gary Scott Law, Christine Lee, and Bill Sweeney with Lisa Robinson absent. Mayor Tony McCombie also attended, as well as City Clerk Paul Hartman, City Attorney Phil Jensen,

and department heads Michael Moon, Sheryl Sipe and John Lindeman, with Fire Chief Shawn Picolotti absent.

Committee Reports Robinson once again said that he felt negotiations were going along quite well in the Collective Bargaining Committee, though because of the ongoing and private nature of the discussions he could not reveal much more.

Law told the Council that seven properties (126th 4th Street, 111 Milwaukee, 29 4th Street, 123 Hill Street, 332 Oak Street, 4 Elm and 608 Cooley Avenue) were slated to be demolished because of poor conditions, and that three bids were

received for this work. McCombie explained that the City asked for bids for demolition, disposal and restoration, with the Building and Public Property Committee’s recommendation to go with Colgan Excavating for this work.

The mayor noted that the owner of 4 Elm had expressed that he plans to contest the City’s demolition of that property. She also said that while $35,000.00 had been budgeted for this project, and the total quoted by Colgan was over this at $42,350.00, the City did have an additional $10,000.00 from it’s reimbursement program.

The Council fully approved Law’s motion to go with Colgan for the quoted amount for all seven buildings.

Law reported that the property watch list currently includes homes at 1722 Michigan Avenue, 1137 Chicago Avenue, the Chestnut Park School, 613 Broderick Drive and 620 Viaduct Road, with 35/37 4th Street being added. In addition, seven homes have been added to the FEMA list for acquisition due to several years.

Chairperson Haffey highlighted the most recent Personnel/Ordinance/ Public Relations committee report.

One of those was the committee’s decision to make it illegal to feed feral animals within the city limits, despite support by Heartland Pet Welfare and the Humane Society for the ZPG TNR program, which allows cats to be fed in a colony maintained by a

caretaker, then neutered and returned and failing that, perhaps January of to the colony.

Griswold wondered whether The consensus was that such an any money was being saved with this schedule, or perhaps the City with the problem, and a motion by Lee to craft an ordinance to make it unlawful to feed feral animals within understanding was that this made it city limits was approved. easy for citizens to budget.

Andresen Memorial Scholarships Awarded Every year since 1985, Harold and Kay Andresen of rural Chadwick have awarded Randy and Rodney Andresen Memorial scholarships to graduating seniors at Chadwick and Milledgeville High Schools. Even though they were afflicted with muscular dystrophy they still managed to attend school and graduate with honors in 1979 and â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;80. They worked hard, rarely complained and were an inspiration to their families, friends, and classmates.

The last few years the family has decided to include all the high schools in Carroll County with a $1,000 Andresen Memorial Scholarship to each graduating senior student that applies from the 3 high schools in the county. The scholarships are

primarily based on the need of the student. Other things considered are scholastic ability, moral character, leadership qualities and community involvement.

This year in 2014 there were 18 memorial scholarships awarded.

From Milledgeville HS they were: Morgan Adolph, Samantha Feltenz, Alexandra Fink, Emily Geison, Shannon Graff, Ryan Habben, Lauren Hackbarth, Haley McAuliffe, and Kayleigh Leddy. From Eastland High School were: Korina Freidag, Jacob Gilman, Devin Hartman, Megan Janssen, and Austin Weaver. From West Carroll were: Clare Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Connor, Alexis Kosier, Trelawney Baisden, and Shaun McGill.

L-R Andresen Memorial Scholarship winners: Alex Fink, MHS, Shaun McGill, WCHS, Korina Freidag, EHS, Emily Geison, MHS, Megan Janssen, EHS, Haley McAuliffe, Lauren Hackbarth, MHS, Devin Hartman, EHS, Ryan Habben, Shannon Graff, MHS, Trelawney Baisden, WCHS, Samantha Feltenz, Morgan Adolph, and Kayleigh Leddy, MHS.

Lanark Farmers Market Seeks Vendors The beauty and vitality of the land in Northwest Illinois has long been a source of pride for Lanark residents. One way to showcase and share the bounty of the surrounding farms and backyard gardens is to create a venue for farmers and gardeners to sell their produce and home goods in a festive, shady environment. This is the dream coming to fruition for those launching the re-imagined Farmers Market in Lanark.

“We had a very well attended

process. Their goal is to bring awareness to agricultural endeavors in the area as well as advocate and take action on issues concerning responsible eco-management of open spaces in town, community garden planning, environmental education and other activities that promote stewardship of the land.

Right now, the Committee is looking for more vendors to participate in the fun. The Lanark Farmers Market will begin on Tuesday, June Sale earlier in May. It was an oppor- 10th and run through October 28th tunity for us to identify local growers as well as those interested in fresh foods and horticulture in general,” says Cornucopia Committee member, $3/week. There are also seasonal Lee Reese. “Now we are eager to packages available that greatly dislaunch a new Farmers Market here count this fee. in town that features home grown goodies, produce, music, workshops to play, parents to enjoy the programs and more.” each Market has to offer, as well as The Cornucopia Committee of an easy, relaxed space for sellers.

Lanark is a passionate group borne We are the only Market operating on

Tuesday nights and it has been great to offer this as another selling opportunity to vendors who already have their weekends spoken for,” explains Sheila Wyeth, another Cornucopia Committee of Lanark member.

As the weather continues to the days get longer and longer, how refreshing it is to stop in, grab some fresh veggies for the grill, listen to some folk music, and mosey on home to sit on the deck with family. What a treat for those traveling through Lanark on the way from work or for those simply minding the kids running around the yard just down the block.

For more information about programs being offered at the Lanark Farmers Market or how to become a vendor, call Lee Reese at 815-275-4395 or Sheila Wyeth at 815-493-2776.

Passed by a 32-19-6 vote of the Senate May 27, Senate Bill 16 would cut state funding for 20 local school districts and increase state funding for 22 other local school districts, for a net overall state funding gain of $3,702,203. Bivins voted against Senate Bill 16.

Notice

Highland Community College President Joe M. Kanosky, Ph.D. will retire at the end of his current contract period, which expires June 30, 2015. Highlandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s seventh president, Kanoskyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tenure began in June of 2006 after serving as acting president upon the departure of Dr. Ronald Field in late 2005.

Kanosky came to HCC in 1981 and has held a variety of positions in the areas of student services, instructional program administration, community service and economic development. He has been a Director, an Associate Dean, and a Dean. He served as Vice President for Student and Community Services from 2000 to 2003 and Vice President for Institutional and Community Development from 2003 until November of 2005. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Board of Trustees was made aware of Dr. Kanoskyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s plans to retire three years ago when his current contract was amended,â&#x20AC;? said current Board Chair Doug Block. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think that I can speak for the entire Board of Trustees in saying that we have been very pleased with Dr. Kanoskyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s leadership throughout his time as President. The College has accomplished much and is positioned to continue to build on its strengths.â&#x20AC;?

Highland has seen several lasting accomplishments under President Kanoskyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s leadership, most notably, the construction of two state-of-theart training facilities â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the Ray and Betty Stamm Health Science Nursing Wing and the Wind Turbine Technician Training Center.

The nursing wing provides 13,500 square feet of much-needed high-tech lab and classroom space for the Nursing andAllied program, while the Wind

Turbine Technician Training Center serves as a dedicated facility for the Turbine Technician degree.

In 2012, a modern 1,500 square foot greenhouse was constructed off of the south side of the Natural Science and Health Center, replacing an outdated and cramped facility that was no longer serving the needs students in the natural sciences.

President Kanosky oversaw the Collegeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s successful transition to the Academic Quality Improvement program (AQIP) model of accreditation and two Illinois Community College Board (ICCB) recognition evaluations, maintaining the Collegeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s continued high recognition status. In 2012, Highland received approval from the Higher Learning Commission to offer its associate of arts degree completely through online coursework.

During Kanoskyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tenure, a number of new academic programs were initiated, such as the Medical Assistant, Emergency Medical Technician, Industrial Training and Wind Turbine Technician degrees, as well as Customer Service and Professional

service includes being on the board of directors of the FreeportArea Chamber of Commerce and the Northern Illinois Development Alliance.

On the State level, Kanosky is a member of the Illinois Council of Community College Presidents and currently co-chairs their Leadership and Core Values Committee, a position he has held for several years. He has also presented at the Illinois Council of Community College Administrators conference on several occasions, sharing his expertise on leadership and core values.

Highland Trustees are currently President Kanosky has been developing a detailed transitional plan active in civic and professional orgawith the goal of having the position nizations for many years.

By LOVINA EICHER The sun is shining this afternoon. We had a thunderstorm early this morning. The rain kept us out of the garden today. Last night Joe and the children helped get more garden planted. We didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get finished yet so hopefully itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll dry up soon. Our soil is very sandy and dries fast so that helps. We now have planted onions, radishes, lettuce, peas, potatoes, red beets, green beans, cucumbers, corn,

sweet peppers, tomatoes, cabbage, banana and hot peppers. Need to plant more corn, watermelon, zucchini and more potatoes yet. So far we have potatoes, peas, radishes, onions, lettuce and corn coming up. Everything is late this year.

The boys were mowing our grass for the second time this year. Usually it would have had to be a mowed a lot sooner.

Daughter Lovina had a very happy 10th birthday on Sunday. We attended church during the day. In the evening we went to Jacob and Emmaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s house for fried and grilled mushrooms.

They had an abundance of mushrooms. Also on the menu was grilled ham, asparagus casserole, sliced tomatoes, cheese, watermelon, chocolate cake and ice cream.

Tomorrow, May 22, I will turn another year older. 43 years.

Sounds old and makes you dread to see your age get higher up there.

Jacob, Emma,and family and sisters Verena and Susan and our daughters friends Timothy and Mose will come tomorrow evening in honor of my birthday.

School doors will be closing soon, two more weeks left after this week.

Next week will only be three days of school for our children as of Memorial Day and Ascension Day (Thursday, May 29).

Son Benjamin â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;s 8th grade graduation will be on June 4th. He will be finished with his school years this term. Daughter Loretta will only have one more year of schooling.

Our ramp is now finished and Loretta sure is glad to not have to take steps to get into the house. It will also be nice for the older people when we host church services.

Daughter Elizabeth and Susan are on 4 day work weeks now for awhile. I enjoy having them home on Fridays. They have some dresses they need to get sewed for parts in upcoming weddings. This will give them more time to get them done. Sunday afternoon we stopped in at Timothyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s house to see all his horsesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s baby foals. They look so lively out in the field.

While we were there we also visited with his next door neighbor, Janice. She was out in the yard in a wheel chair. She has had some health complications. It was nice to get to visit with her again.

Try this breakfast dish.

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Art on the Trailâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; encourages Public-Friendly Grove In anticipation of the Grand Opening on Thursday, June 19th, at noon, the Friends of the Parks Foundation has installed a temporary outdoor art exhibit on the Morrison-Rockwood Recreational Trail. Created by Atlanta artist Misao Cates, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Forest of My Three Wordsâ&#x20AC;? is an interactive installation of expression and stories told through three-word inscriptions.

Visitors are challenged to express themselves in just three words onto a length of ribbon, and invited to tie

poles that make up a â&#x20AC;&#x153;groveâ&#x20AC;?. Each ribbon will carry a unique message ranging from humorous to profound, from deeply personal to public outcry, and will create the collective voice of the Morrison community. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Forest of My Three Wordsâ&#x20AC;? expresses the belief that art is everywhere â&#x20AC;&#x201C; including in our daily lives; for everyone and in everyone. It is hoped that the outdoor art will give opportunities for all to participate and express their personal vision.

The exhibit will run for 16 weeks, until after the annual Paint
