WEST CARROLL SCHOOLS

State funding changes provide relief of sorts

BY MICHAEL MILLER Prairie Advocate

SAVANNA – Funding information from the state has rarely been anything but bad news for school districts in recent years.

But West Carroll got some good news of sorts recently.

Superintendent Adam Brumbaugh told the school board the district will get about $140,000 more from the state than it had originally projected in its budget, because of grant money and other changes in the state funding picture.

That means the district will be operating at about a $1.1 But it also means the district will not have to submit a state, at least for now. is required when a school board adopts or amends

Board issues $4.485 million in bonds begin seeing the difference after this summer’s bills, said Anne Stifel of brokerage and investment banking

BY MICHAEL MILLER For Prairie Advocate

SAVANNA – The West Carroll school board voted unanimously Sept. 21 to issue $4,485 million in

She told the board that once the bonds were evaluated, the district would receive a credit rating from Moody’s Investor Services. She said that based on statistics, West Carroll’s rating was an A2, which she said was an “average, normal, rock solid” rating for school district of West Carroll’s size.

off other outstanding bonds. an option that will allow gradual property tax relief throughout the term every year until the bonds reach full maturity in 2028. Taxpayers should an annual budget in which the “operating funds” (Educational; Operations & Maintenance; Transportation and Working Cash Funds) result in total direct revenues being less than total direct expenditures by an amount greater than one-third (1/3) of the ending fund balance.

The state will not let a district continue to spend at this rate in these categories for 3 years. West Carroll’s direct revenue for these four funds was $2.5 million, with direct expenditures at $2.75 million,

district would require at least $750,000 banked for it to be able to continue for 3 years.

The challenge for the district now, Brumbaugh said, is to avoid having to plan for the future. That means balancing the debt, at least somewhat.

That will mean doing one of two things, or both: Finding additional sources of revenue, or making cuts.

Brumbaugh added that it would help the district

it was going to take” the district and “how it would deal with it”, and would monitor the situation.

She noted that the district could not access additional borrowing until some of the Working Cash bonds were paid off.

The board also voted to let for bids the district’s workman’s compensation insurance for the 2016-2017 year.

if the state changed its funding formula, as several groups are working to do.

One of the proposals is to shift pension funds, which Brumbaugh acknowledged will “ultimately fall on our employees’ shoulders.”

But given there are no real numbers yet, and given the pensions scenario, board member Beverly Kilpatrick warned a revamping of the state funding formula actually could end up costing the district.

Hake describes struggle, shooting HAKE

CONTINUED FROM A3

When she came in and did this fancy dance, I said, ‘That’s a hell of an entrance,’” Morgan said.

The woman kept dancing in front of the band, and in front of the Hakes.

“At a point, she [Suzanne] looked at that girl, then at me, said ‘You ruin everything,’ and grabbed her coat,” Hake said.

She drove them in what he called “a driving rage” to their hotel, where she dropped him off.

Between 11:30 p.m. and midnight, Hake called their older daughter, Hannah, who drove him to their Freeport home. He grabbed his keys and drove back to Lanark.

“I wanted to speak to Suzy, to try and get some resolution as to what tried to happen earlier. The way she drove, I didn’t suspect she’d ever make it to Freeport,” Hake said.

About 1 a.m., he arrived, knocked on the locked porch door, then took hold of it and pulled loose the hinge screws, breaking the door.

He grabbed a house key from the keybox, entered the house and headed upstairs,

where Suzanne was lying with her eyes closed, facing the door.

“As I started to sit down on the bed, Suzy sat up,” Hake said. “She pulled a knife from under her pillow, swung it over her head, and at me.

She had both hands on it and swung it toward me. When she went down, I grabbed both of her arms. I jumped on her and straddled her, took hold of both of her arms.”

The couple struggled for the knife, with Hake striking her over her left shoulder attempting to get her to release the knife.

Suddenly, she went limp and fell backwards on the bed.

Hake said her eyes were wide open, and she was just staring at the ceiling.

“Were you trying to communicate with her?”

Nieman asked.

“I had laid the knife down. I was holding her arms,” Morgan said. “All of a sudden, I felt a lot of warmth. There was a lot of blood, soaking my pant leg and the bed.”

He tried a little longer to get her to respond, then backed up 3 or 4 feet.

“My breath was gone and I bent down on my knees. I reached for my phone and that’s when it happened,”

Hake said.

“It” was Suzanne pulling on a blue gun case from beneath her bed, with a gun on top of it. Hake said she was able to point in his direction, and he cowered down in reaction.

“I was able to come out of my huddled down position,” he said. And she had the gun in her hand. She was taking the slide back as quick as she could,” he said.

He was able to take the gun from her, then aimed the gun at her and tried to communicate with her.

“I was screaming, ‘Suzy!

Suzy!’ Even with the gun at her, she was looking at me,” Hake said. “She grabbed the knife and sprung out of there as if I wasn’t holding the gun. She ran toward me.”

She swung the knife at Hake, who said he then grabbed her in a bear hug and was able to hold on to her arm with which she held the knife.

He had the gun in his other hand, and they spun around several times as Suzanne attempted to jerk her arm free.

The couple then headed toward the doorway, where Suzanne pulled her arm free and put up her arm.

“When I grabbed her arm and had her in a bear hug, I just shoved her into the

banister,” Hake said. “As quick as she hit the banister, I heaved her toward the hallway. When I threw her away, I pulled the trigger two times. Her feet came out from underneath her.”

Suzanne then slid down the stairs, and Hake said she lifted her head.

“She was trying to look up the steps. I shot her in the head,” he said.

He tossed the knife into a chair before driving off. confessing to most of them, then drove to a Circle K convenience store in Freeport and surrendered to Hake later wrote a letter to his in-laws.

“I wanted to reach out to her [Mary Lu Johnson, Hake’s mother-in-law].

Because the pastor told me her and my mother were sitting in the front row of the funeral holding hands, and I felt I needed to tell her something,” Hake said, breaking down and crying.

Hake will be sentenced Nov. 4. He faces 20 to 60 years or up to life in prison. He’s also charged with felony possession of a weapon, punishable by 2 to 5 years in prison. That case will be tried separately.

OREGON — Harley Jo Gengenbach, daughter of Kathleen Gengenbach of Lanark, attended a Special Camp in June at White Pines Ranch in Oregon, an all volunteer-run camp for children and adults with intellectual disabilities.

The camp encourages independence and self esteem and also to provide the opportunity for new friendships.

Harley Jo’s favorite activity was grooming, painting and riding the horses. She did so well at this activity that she was awarded top horseback rider of the whole camp.

The camp theme was Going on Safari, and daytime activities included, grooming, painting, and riding horses, swimming, crafts, sports, music and dance, wood working and talent shows. In the evenings, campers enjoyed and s’mores, a hay ride, bingo, dances, and a visit from the Blooze Brothers.

Flu shots available Oct. 21

Foot Care FHN will be administering flu shots from 9 a.m. to noon Friday, Oct. 21 at

the Senior Center. Please bring your Medicare card .

The cost of the high dose shot this year will be $57 for people over 65 if not covered by Medicare Part B or Medicare Replacement Plan accepted

by FHN. People under 65 will be given the quadrivalent vaccine with an out-ofpocket cost of $40. No insurance plan claims can be processed other than Medicare Part B or Medicare Replacement Plan.

Because many participants are confused by the Medicare Replacement Cards versus Medicare Cards, our Central Business office has requested that we make a copy of all available medical cards so that the appropriate charges can be made and third-party payer identified at all locations possible.

A picture ID will also be requested and copied.

Medicaid restrictions preclude their acceptance of Medicaid at locations.

What do you do with your old cellphones?

Carroll County Senior Center has a donation box for old and broken cellphones. We recycle them by sending them to a company that refurbishes them for emergency 911 phones in areas devastated by disasters and for sale to low income persons. We have recently received $15 for phone refunds.

There is one box at the Senior Center now. If the program goes well, we will increase the number of boxes and place them in other areas around the county.

If you know of anyone looking to get rid of old cellphones, ask them to drop them off at the Carroll County Senior Center during our regular business hours, 8 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., Monday thru Friday. As always, you can help yourself to free coffee and cookies while helping us collect the cell phones.

The Driver’s Seat Let’s talk transportation, Part 2

BY JO LYN KRUSE

In my last Driver’s Seat, I gave you a brief history and purpose of Carroll County Transit. Since then, many wonderful events have started to unfold.

First of all, CCT in conjunction with William Hanna and the Carroll County Veterans Affairs Council have opened a dialogue in how to better serve our veterans. CCT already has a special fare schedule for veterans, but we are now working with the VAC on a plan to better use the resources that Carroll County has to offer in doing so.

On Sept. 22, the Region 1 Transportation meeting was hosted here at the Senior Center, as we were proud to have them see the wonderful remodeling job that has been done. On Oct. 28 there will be an Open House. If you would like to join in the festivities, such as seeing Frank Sinatra and Elvis that day, please feel free to call Carroll County Transit for a ride.

And speaking of rides, ... on Sept. 15 Carroll County Transit picked up a

new 2016 Dodge Caravan 6-passenger van. We now have 3 12-passenger buses and 6 6-passenger vans.

They are all handicap accessible and ready to roll over the scenic hills of Carroll County and beyond.

We are promoting our ongoing advertising campaign. This includes advertising in the form of window wraps on the vehicles as well as ad space in our new Passenger Handbook. If you are a business interested in advertising with Carroll County Transit, give me a call and I’ll send out a packet to you.

Finally, if you are a retired person looking for a little something to do, feel free to stop in or call about applying for driving or possible dispatching duties.

Currently, both would be as a sub position to help unable to cover their shifts.

Please don’t hesitate to give Alicia or me a call at 815244-0011 or toll-free at 855702-7433 to catch the bus in your neighborhood today!

Fare information Fares must be paid upon

boarding of the vehicle unless alternative prior arrangements have been made.

Trips made for the next day should be done by 11:30 a.m. the day before and there is a $5 fee for sameday rides. If a trip needs to be canceled, please do so before the scheduled pickup time or a no-show fee of $5 plus the cost of the trip will be charged.

Fares are listed as one-way and not round-trip, unless otherwise noted.

Seniors (60+): Donations Disabled & Veterans: $2 one-way, $1 each stop Public (18+) Within County: $4 one-way, $2 each stop Public (18+) Outside County: $6 one-way, $2 each stop Students: $2 one-way, $2 each stop Children Under 18: $1 one-way Children Under 12: 50 cents one-way

GAME OF THE WEEK | MILLEDGEVILLE VOLLEYBALL

Missiles win for Carley Milledgeville rallies past Marcos in three sets

BY BRIAN WEIDMAN Sauk Valley Media bweidman@saukvalley.com 815-625-3600, ext. 5551

POLO – When times got a little tough for the Milledgeville volleyball team Sept. 20 against Polo, motivation was not hard to The Missiles thought of Carley.

After being forced to a third set, Milledgeville dug deep and pulled out a 25-21, 22-25, 25-15 victory over the Marcos. After starting the season 0-6, the Missiles (8-8, 1-3 NUIC Upstate) have now won 8 of their last 10 matches.

Holly Smith, who ran the Milledgeville offense and dished 34 assists, noted she and her teammates were thinking of Carley Harrielle, the teammate who died on Aug. 15 in an car accident.

“I think we all just realized if we want to make this season good, and good for Carley and her parents, then we really needed to get together some wins,” Smith said. “We always play for Carley.”

Milledgeville was in control the entire third set. Ahead 7-5, the Missiles went on a 9-0 run highlighted by a pair of aces from Madeline Fink and two kills from Jocelyn Folkers.

Polo (2-5, 0-4) got to within 20-12 after a pair of aces from Kenzie Dusing
