Boy Scout Drake Dublo is working on his Eagle Scout project by fixing up, cleaning, and painting playground equipment at Tot Lot Park in Milledgeville. Dublo, 17, played in the park when he was growing up. “It was kind of run down even then,” Drake said.

Columbus Day

The Life of Christopher Columbus

C

hristopher Columbus is credited with opening the passageways between Europe and the Americas for colonization. Though his famed voyage in 1492 is widely known, many people know little about the man whose explorations forever changed the course of world history.

Cristoforo Columbo was born on October 31, 1451 in the Republic of Genoa, Italy. His father, Domenico, was a middle-class wool weaver and also dabbled in cheese making. Columbus had three brothers, Bartolomeo, Giovanni, and Giacomo, and a sister, Bianchinetta.

Much of Columbus’ life was spent in the world of sea and travel. He apprenticed as a business agent for important Italian families, allegedly making trips to England, Ireland and possibly Iceland and may even have made several Mediterranean and Aegean sea voyages. When he traveled to modern-day Greece, it was the closest Columbus would come to reaching Asia.

Columbus’ first voyage into the Atlantic Ocean took place in 1476, not in 1492. His commercial fleet was attacked by French privateers off the coast of Portugal, and his ship was burned. Columbus survived by swimming to Lisbon, eventually settling there and meeting his future wife, Filipa. The couple had a son, Diego, but soon after giving birth, Filipa died and Columbus relocated to Spain. Columbus sired another son, Fernando, during a relationship with Beatriz Enriquez de Arana.

Columbus participated in many different expeditions, including some to Africa to gain knowledge of Atlantic Ocean currents. He believed it would be easier to sail westward to reach India and China and avoid Muslim domination of trade routes in the Middle East. Columbus set out to find financial backing for a discovery voyage to determine what was west of Europe and to find uninterrupted water routes.

The voyager was rejected by the Portuguese king and Serving the Community for over 125 Years!

also in Venice and Genoa. Columbus’ initial plan was also rejected by Spain. But in 1492, after Spain ended a war with Muslims, the Spaniards agreed to finance Columbus’ expedition, and in August of 1492, he set sail in the Santa Maria, with the Pinta and the Nina as companion ships.

After a five-week voyage across the ocean and a few stops in the Canary Islands for provisions, Columbus and his shipmates spotted land at roughly 2 a.m. on the morning of October 12, 1492. The crew reached land that they named San Salvador (the island now known as the Commonwealth of the Bahamas). Upon his arrival, Columbus encountered indigenous people who were friendly, but he used them to find gold and other valuables.

The voyagers soon traveled to Cuba and other islands of the what became known as “The New World,” before ultimately returning to Spain.

Columbus made subsequent trips westward, but conditions at the Hispaniola settlement established by the explorer during his second voyage were deteriorating and the Spanish arrested Columbus, stripping him of his titles and authority. He eventually recovered some riches and respect, but Columbus’ legacy continues to inspire debate even now. While he may have opened up trade routes and furthered colonization around the world while paving the way for future explorers, he also helped destroy the customs of many native people.

Christopher Columbus died in Spain on May 20, 1506.

Though his reputation remains a hot topic of debate, each year Americans celebrate Columbus Day on October 12th to commemorate Columbus’ life and accomplishments.

billboards, it will have a bill to pay of some sorts, City Attorney Phil Jensen told the City Council on Sept. 27.

The council has mulled having the signs taken down for months. Jensen said the city has the power to regulate such billboards, which are on vacant properties and buidings, and can amortize offpremises signs.

He recommended the council amend the relevant ordinance and either provide for a 5- to 7-year amortization of the nonconforming signs or pay just compensation to the owners of the signs in return for removing them.

He noted, though, that if the city tries to amortize instead of paying just

compensation to have them removed, the city would be vulnerable to lawsuits alleging violation of Illinois’ Eminent Domain Act. “We have to be prepared to pay,” Jensen said.

The signs that could be slated for removal are at 208 Chicago Ave., 604 Main St., 801 Chicago Ave., 723 Viaduct Road, and 1817 Chicago Ave.

Chickens prohibited?

A resident who has been cited for having chickens in city limits has written a letter notifying the council of her intent to have her ordinance violation case dismissed.

Melissa Kirkland said the the chickens are a public nuisance.

Police Chief Michael Moon said this matter is addressed both under zoning and nuisance codes, and said Kirkland was cited under the nuisance laws, which is what she was challenging.

Jensen agreed, saying the relevant zoning ordinance provides a strict prohibition and doesn’t require a he will write Kirkland a letter about these letters and about plans for further review and possible ordinance amendments.

Lindeman updated the council on the streets project, saying “we have a quagmire up at Murray and Fifth Street” due to workmen from Brandt running into an 8-inch sewer line coming off Murray Street. That line was not documented, and was running into the storm, not sanitary, sewer, requiring a lot of remediation and delaying work a bit.

WHY DO I NEED SEO?

Think of your website as your showroom, your cashier, and your best salesman...

Your showroom that never closes, and your cashier and salesman that never go home, or take a day off!

ANDREW WILLIAMSON 815-493-2560

What is SEO? SEO stands for Search Engine Optimization. It is the process of making a website as visible and prominent as possible in search engine results.

Why should I be concerned about optimizing my site for search engines?

A fast-growing percentage of all retail sales take place online. That means that every year more and more money is being spent through websites rather than in stores.

If a business does not take its place in the online world, it will lose that portion of the market—a portion that grows bigger every year.

At least 95% of all online sales start out with customers searching for products. Customers have the opportunity to search through hundreds of millions of websites out there, but in reality, they only see a few. If your website is one of those few, you get a chance at capturing those leads as potential customers!

Which websites are those lucky few? Well, it isn’t luck; those websites are optimized for search result by constantly updating and changing with search parameters. Those websites understand SEO and the need for consistent, fresh, and high-quality content that other internet users would want to link to.

2016 ELECTION | VOTER REGISTRATION

Judge throws out appeal, but Attorney General says she’ll try again The Illinois attorney

BY PAM EGGEMEIER Prairie Advocate peggemeier@saukvalley.com 815-625-3600, ext. 5570

CHICAGO – A federal judge has declared the state’s Election Day voter registration law unconstitutional, but the appeals process continues.

The ruling from Judge Samuel Der-Yeghiayan came Sept. 25 in response to a the Galesburg Republican facing 17th District U.S. Representative Cheri Bustos in November. The Crawford County Republican Central Committee also was a plaintiff.

Harlan is president of the the Liberty Justice Center,

The lawsuit challenged a state law passed and signed a few days before he left counties with a population of more than 100,000 to offer voter registration at the polls on Election Day, while smaller counties don’t have to provide the service.

Only 20 of the state’s 102 up for same-day registration.

The extra cost and a

Der-Yeghiayan to reverse the decision soon after the ruling was handed down.

Patrick Harlan

Lisa Madigan

The court, in its ruling, said the law improperly favors urban citizens and dilutes the vote of the rural citizen.

“The court recognized the unfairness of guaranteeing a voting right to some voters but not others,” said Jacob Huebert, the lead attorney for Liberty Justice Center.

Harlan called the ruling a great constitutional victory, but admitted he was pleasantly surprised.

“I was expecting it to be pushed under the rug, but it’s a huge relief to see we had an independent judge who was willing to hold up the Constitution,” Harlan said.

Savanna Rotarians spent time during a recent meeting sorting lids for Val’s Garden. Lids are being collected to help provide another bench for the garden area.

Pictured sorting are Mike Meyer, Frank Grove, Gary Panetta, Bob North and Mark Klein. Kathy Christianson, Nancy Lawfer and Tammi Johnson talked to the Rotary Club about Val’s Garden and their hopes to add a pavillion, more benches and a picnic table. Donations of plastic lids or financial donations are welcome.

State Rep. Mike Smiddy, D-Hillsdale, visited Lifescape Community Service’s office in Sterling last month. He talked with staff from the Adult Protective Services program, the Care Coordination Unit, and senior management. As of March 1, Lifescape began offering services as a Care Coordination Unit and Adult Protective Services program in Carroll, Lee, Ogle, and Whiteside counties. Pictured are (left to right) Natilee Bertolozzi, case manager, Smiddy, Jeff Hamaker, director of community support, and Alberto Carrion, program services director.

Face painting fun at Apple Festival

Making a glad dash in Sterling

Philip Marruffo/pmarruffo@saukvalley.com

Photos by Craig Lang/clang@prairieadvocate.com

Rolling Hills Progress Center Executive Director Brandon Rumler gets his face painted at Saturday’s Apple festival in Lanark. The festival is an annual fundraiser for RHPC with various games and activities for the whole family.

Judging by the grin on his face, Lucas Mammosser, 3, of Rock Falls was happy to win his heat Saturday in the 3-year-old division at the Sterling Park District’s Pumpkin Dash at Hoover Park. Kids 12 and under were grouped by age and dashed their way throughout the day at the park. Winners took home a big pumpkin, and the first 1,000 finishers pocketed a smaller one. Other activities included a petting zoo, bounce houses, ambulance tours, face painting, barrel rides and more. Fast times and fun weren’t the only reason to celebrate; the annual event celebrated its 25th year of giving fleet-footed kids a reason to smile.

Missiles run into wall in Polo Stout defense keeps Milledgeville at bay

BY ROB LAIRD For Prairie Advocate

POLO – Argument: a football team can thrive with a defense that bends but doesn’t break.

Counter-argument: a team can be yet more successful if its defense doesn’t even bend.

Polo was a living embodiment of that counter-argument Friday night, completely choking the offense of an upstart Milledgeville squad in a 13-0 victory.

Polo, having given up at least 28 points in each of its last three games, looked like an entirely new team this

week, limiting the Missiles (4-2) downs in the game. Milledgeville only once entered the red zone, and ran just 11 of its 57 plays in Polo territory.

“This is huge for us. The kids believe they can win now,” Polo coach Jeff Bumsted said. “We were questioning ourselves a little bit. This gives them roll now, I think. I hope.”

The defense of the Marcos (4-2) was so stout, that even though the quarters, the lead felt pretty safe to those in attendance. Then, when running back Tristen Aguilar burst through an enormous hole in the right side side for a 48-yard touchdown

early in the fourth, that lead seemed thoroughly insurmountable.

“We had the kids in the right spot at the right time,” Bumsted said.

“We had them moving at the right times. We set up a game plan, and it worked.” on 10 carries and scored both Polo touchdowns. The big run in the fourth was an entire game in the making, Bumsted said.

The Marcos had called the play that sprung Aguilar several times earlier in the game, with quarterback Braiden Soltow given the power of authority to either hand the ball off or keep it in the Marcos zone-read offensive set.
