CARROLL COUNTY BOARD

Prison ‘moving forward, Durbin says domestic violence Facility on track to receive more federal prisoners

Board proclaims October as month of awareness

BY PHILLIP HARTMAN Prairie Advocate phartman@saukvalley.com 815-625-3600, ext. 5525

BY TONY CARTON For Prairie Advocate

THOMSON – The Thomson prison remains on target to receive more federal prisoners by the end of 2017, U.S. Sen. Dick Durbin said Oct. 4 during a visit to the facility.

Durbin toured the site and met with Warden Donald Hudson before speaking with the media.

“I wanted to see for myself what was happening here,” he said.

The visit is part of a series of stops the Democrat and his staff are making in Illinois during the Senate’s break before the Nov. 8 election, said John Normoyle, Durbin’s press secretary.

About $14 million was invested in the prison, which started as a state facility and sat empty from 2001 to Craig Lang/clang@prairieadvocate.com

$165 million for the facility in 2012, but faced several obstacles to using the site.

“There’s been mold.

They’ve added new levels of computers and power sources,” Durbin said.

The prison now employs about 214 people, more than half from the area, a number that is likely to rise to 300 by the end of 2017, Durbin said.

Currently, 127 minimumsecurity prisoners are

Durbin described them as trusted, adding, “We believe they are no threat.”

A bipartisan Commerce, Justice, and Science appropriations bill, which

would continue pay for the prison’s activation, is tied up with other appropriations bills, Durbin said. “I believe we have one or two passed.”

He and his staff met with leaving for stops in the Chicago area.

Savanna Historical Society

MOUNT CARROLL – When there is domestic violence in Carroll County, Riverview Center often knows about it.

Over the past year, the helpline there has received 341 calls from the county, Diane Heath, the center’s domestic violence legal advocate told the Carroll County Board on Oct. 6.

At that meeting, the board unanimously approved a proclamation recognizing this as Domestic Violence Awareness Month.

“Many women experience some form of domestic violence in their lifetime, and our goal is to talk about that and to let people be comfortable talking,” Heath said. “Lots of people don’t speak out because they are afraid or ashamed thinking that others might blame them for the violence in their home.”

She said 609 hours of direct services were provided to 100 adult survivors and their children who witnessed domestic violence in the past year.

Another 49 hours were spent in advocacy efforts with judges, attorneys, law enforcement, medical personnel and teachers. Still another 15 hours was spent training law enforcement and social service agencies.

Nationally, 1 in 4 women and 1 in 7 men will be victims of domestic violence in their lifetime, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

“I hate to say domestic violence is on the increase, but we are seeing a steady

same time, we are seeing an increase in awareness.”

Heath said each circumstance Riverview deals with is different.

“If someone needs our help, whether it be counseling services for a victim or family members or children, they can contact it is they are looking for needs may be, so we can tailor those needs to each individual situation,” Heath said.

The proclamation passed by the board acknowledges the effect of domestic violence on all citizens of Carroll County regardless of social, religious, racial, ethnic or geographic

every resident to take advantage of services available to educate themselves and learn to take the necessary steps whenever needed.

“Riverview Center is County,” board Chairman Kevin Reibel said. “Domestic violence is very hard to deal with, and I certainly welcome any chance for the Carroll County Board to recognize any sort of proclamation supporting the work the center does.”

In other business, the board declined a request from the University of Illinois Extension for $5,000 in additional funding.

SAVANNA CITY COUNCIL

Grants, loans mean lower water and sewer bills City learns that much of cost of treatment plant will be covered

BY MICHAEL MILLER For Prairie Advocate

SAVANNA – Grant funds and loans that don’t have to repaid mean the impact of a new wastewater treatment plant on residents’ water and sewer bills will be a “bestcase” scenario rather than the worst.

So best-case, in fact, that base rates on quarterly billing charges will drop from $220.96 to $187.96.

The city had braced for a worst-case scenario in which work on the treatment plant would have resulted in a $32.63 monthly increase on the Sewer Debt Service fund and a $10.10 monthly

increase resulting from related in-system work.

The increases would have repayments.

But the city has received $2.819 million in state grants, and close to $4.5 million in loans from the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency that are “forgivable” – meaning they do not have to be repaid.

That means the monthly increases will be only $14.10 for the treatment plant and $4.21 for the in-service work, said Sharon Pepin, of Community Funding and Planning Services that was hired to

administer the city’s grants and loan applications for the project. She spoke during an Oct. 5 meeting of the City Council at City Hall.

The treatment plan, scheduled to be completed in December 2017, will cost just more than $9 million, Pepin said. The in-system work – underground piping connections – will cost about $2.67 million.

The quarterly billing charges will decrease because of drops in other rates – from $27 per quarter to $9 for the Sewer Improvement fund, from $27 to $24 for the Water Improvement fund, and from $30 to $18 for the Sewer Reserve Fund.

There is no timetable for when the decreased bill

rates will take effect. Mayor Tony McCombie said there will be more information at future council meetings.

Pepin said the city has received more than $11 million in grants and forgivable loans in the past 10 years to help pay for infrastructure projects.

Resident Gary Porter questioned the fairness of a 3 percent rate increase enacted by the city when there had been no corresponding increase in Social Security wages for several years.

McCombie said the city must pay Jo-Carroll Energy like anyone else, and also said insurance and chemical costs and operating expenses continue to rise.

Superintendent of Public

Works John Lindeman said the rate increase is not automatic and is reviewed yearly. He said rates had gone up only about $1 for every 1,000 gallons of water used.

He added that rates had for years by subsidizing the water and sewer funds with property taxes and other funds. He said he suggested the 3 percent rate years ago in to keep the city from falling behind and avoid a huge increase eventually that would occur. He said the rates for electricity from Jo-Carroll (used to pump water out of the ground) in some years, and costs of things like chemicals did

increase regularly.

Carol Fosdick asked the cost of a fully operating plant might be offset by Lindeman said he plans to gather at least 6 months of data before determining a rate adjustment.

“We’re not here to make money,” he said. “We’re here to pay for exactly the cost of operating [the plant].”

McCombie, addressing a resident’s question, said it’s possible the city would go to a monthly billing cycle and allow automatic payments.

She said Comptroller/ Treasurer Sheryl Sipe would like to have one cycle of everyone getting accurate bills before proceeding with a monthly schedule.

WORKPLACE ISSUES

Clock ticking for opponents of new overtime rule Deadline delay resolution passes House; states file lawsuit

BY PAM EGGEMEIER Sauk Valley Media peggemeier@saukvalley.com 815-625-3600, ext. 5570

The movement to delay or block the implementation of the U.S. Department of Labor’s new overtime rule for salaried workers is making progress, but time is running out.

The rule that could affect an estimated 4.2 million workers is set to kick in Dec. 1. It was announced in May, leaving employers scrambling to prepare for compliance.

The rule raises the salary threshold for overtime 2004. Every salaried worker earning less than $47,476 will be eligible for overtime pay, regardless of their duties. What is known as the white-collar exemption had applied to salaried workers making more than $23,660 a year.

Creating even more anxiety for employers is a provision that requires regular salary threshold increases every 3 years, beginning in 2020.

The Labor Department said the new regulations, ordered by the White House, aim to tip the scales more in favor of workers after the loosening of the law resulted in management taking advantage of exemptions said the Fair Labor Standards Act’s overtime regulations protected more than 60 percent of full-time

workers 40 years ago, but the rules covered fewer than 10 percent of those workers prior to the latest changes.

U.S. Rep. Cheri Bustos, D-East Moline, said although the rule doubles the overtime exemption levels, it’s important to bring some perspective to the conversation.

“The overtime rule hasn’t been looked at in 40 years, and during that same time period, the cost of anything has gone way up,” Bustos said.

At the end of the day, the back in the favor of working men and women in her 17th Congressional District, she said.

“We are still inching our way out of the Great Recession, and there are high unemployment rates in many of my district’s communities,” Bustos said.

“Part of the solution for businesses is, if you don’t want to pay overtime, get extra help.”

Many employers counter that the rule will be no friend to labor. They say it ultimately will drive up labor costs, forcing them to cut staff, reduce hours, make some salaried employees hourly, and utilize more part-time workers.

Kinzinger said the new regulations are likely to have unintended consequences.

“Unfortunately, I believe this requirement will ultimately cause salaried

Kinzinger voted for a resolution passed in the House Wednesday that would back up the Dec. 1 implementation deadline to June 1.

House resolution 6094 has moved to the Senate, but prospects for beating the deadline don’t look good.

The process was delayed until after the election, and a stopgap measure put in place to keep the federal government running through Dec. 9.

Kinzinger said he is urging his Senate colleagues to take action on the labor rule before the Dec. 1 implementation deadline.

“We have a responsibility to protect our workers from lower wages and fewer hours of work,” Kinzinger said.

Even if the measure made it through the Senate in time, the president has said he won’t sign it. Support went along party lines, ruling out the possibility of overriding a veto.

A grace period still could be given after the Dec. 1 deadline, but that wouldn’t do much to alleviate the stress of businesses scrambling to prepare for the changes.

Kinzinger said.

He agrees with business leaders who say the labor rule will hurt many American workers.

AMBOY – With an imposing offensive line, a potential Division-I talent lined up at quarterback, and multiple standout ball carriers, there’s more talent on Eastland-Pearl City’s offense than room to print.

Sometimes, though, a performance like the one Skylar Fischer had Friday comes along and simply puts most of the attention upon itself.

Dallas Schafter bulldozed his way into the endzone early in the fourth Clippers immediately forced a threeand-out to get the ball back with nine minutes remaining. Fischer, however, reclaimed the momentum for EPC with an interception, and Keegan Schubert scored a dagger of a touchdown a few plays later to put the game out of reach.
