Raw milk regulations under scrutiny Legal Defense Fund says the FDA is driving the proposal for the IDPH

By TOM KOCAL Prairie Advocate TKocal@prairieadvocate.com SPRINGFIELD – In July, the Illinois Department of Public Health introduced proposed regulations on the production and sale of raw milk in the state – regulations that a number of Illinois raw milk producers believe could put them out of business.

Many raw milk producers and consumers, and the Farm-to-Consumer Legal Defense Fund, want to stop IDPH from adopting any raw milk regulations, stating that for more than 30 years, the unlicensed on-farm sale of raw milk has been legal by policy in Illinois. It’s a policy the group says has worked well with no reports of food-borne illness attributed to Illinois raw milk producers going at least as far back as 1998.

But the IDPH is taking the position that if there are no applicable state rules or regulations on the books, the policy is illegal.

To date, the IDPH has received hundreds of public comments about the regulations it is considering throughout a 45-day comment period in which supporters of raw milk and freedom of choice have the opportunity to make their views known to the department.

After the initial 45-day comment period, which ends Monday, the Joint Committee on Administrative Regulations will have the proposed rules presented for review in a second 45-day comment period. JCAR is a legislative committee responsible for reviewing and implementing state regulations.

“Now is an opportunity to let the committee know in advance why it should reject the rules if IDPH does not withdraw them,” said Pete Kennedy, an attorney with the Farmto-Consumer Legal Defense Fund.

If it ain’t broke . . .

State regulators want to create a two-tier system of permits and inspections that would apply to milk from cows, goats, sheep, water buffalo and other hoofed animals, The State Journal-Register reported. They must assess the risk of illness posed by consuming raw milk compared to citizen consumers that say raw milk is healthier than pasteurized milk.

Savanna First UMC’s parking lot

(2100 Chicago Ave., Savanna)

The State Journal-Register. Kelly, 57, switched to raw milk products more than 2 decades ago. “I felt better. I was stronger. I sleep better. It really worked for me and never caused me any problems.”

Kennedy asks, “What risks?

Raw milk supporters in the state are wondering why IDPH is trying to answer is the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).”

FDA support FDAdata show between 300,000 and 400,000 Illinoisans drink raw milk.

Regulations are necessary to make raw milk safer for consumption, IDPH spokeswoman Melaney Arnold said.

“When it comes to raw milk, without rules, it basically makes it illegal,” Arnold stated in a news release. “By developing rules on where it can be sold, how it can be sold and to whom it can be sold . . . we’re making it a safer product.”

Kennedy’s group disagrees with Arnold’s statement that, “. . . without rules, it basically makes it illegal,” a

work group meetings led by Molly Lamb, Division Chief of the IDPH Division of Food, Drugs and Dairy, who met to draft regulations governing raw milk sales and production.

The dairy work group is a subcommittee of the Food Safety Advisory Committee, of which Lamb serves as chairwoman. FSAC, which, among other things, provides advice on food safety matters to IDPH, is not mandated by statute, but is supported through an FDA Food Safety Task Force Grant.

“In other words, money from a federal agency – that has banned raw milk in interstate commerce and would like to see it banned in intrastate commerce – funded a work group to draft regulations for raw milk production and sales,” Kennedy said. “Aside from funding the work group, FDA also has one of its own employees, Larry Trandel, on the work group.”

The PrairieAdvocate, in a series of articles (April 16 to May 7, 2013) on the dairy work group, including coverage of a work group meeting on May 1, 2013 that was open to the public, quoted Lamb as saying that since IDPH had

adopted the federal government Food Safety Modernization Act the IDPH must now create rules for raw milk simply because the act says it must.

“Lamb’s statement is not true,” Kennedy said. “There is nothing in FSMA that requires a state to issue regulations governing raw milk. For Lamb to even make that claim shows

IDPH received over $894,000 in grants from FDA. “In case anyone needed to be reminded of FDA’s position on raw milk, Trandel stated at the meeting that ‘We [FDA] do not consider raw milk safe for human consumption.

All raw milk is considered potentially adulterated.’

“Illinois law and policy on raw milk production and sales should be made in Illinois, not in Washington,” Kennedy said. “FDA has no business meddling in raw milk sales within the state of Illinois.”

“The economics don’t work.

We’re talking about farms that have one or two cows and sell a couple of gallons a week,” King said. “My hope is we can get them to stand down and restart the process.”

A bad sign Well, the thieves are at it again in Carroll County, stealing Democratic candidates’ signs. These signs are an expression of free speech. Evidently they are afraid that their candidates are not worthy of competition.

I would encourage anyone who sees someone stealing our Democratic signs, if possible, take a picture or get their license plate number. Our state’s attorney prosecute, but the Illinois attorney general may look at it differently.

They are stealing her signs also.

Gerald I. Bork Chairman, Carroll County Democrats Mount Carroll

Judge judges at the ballot box On Tuesday, Nov. 4, Illinois voters will have a chance to cast their ballots in the general election. In addition to voting for candidates for national and statewide offices, they will have a chance to vote for judges.

Learning about the judicial candidates can be difficult, and all too frequently, voters choose to skip voting for these candidates rather than take the time to learn about them. That’s unfortunate, because judges have a huge impact on our lives. They strive to ensure that the law is fairly imposed, deciding for example who will have custody of your children or whether to punish someone who is convicted of a crime. The best judges are impartial, committed to public service, nonpartisan, empathetic, fair and extremely

knowledgeable about the law.

Thankfully, there are ways to learn about judges running for election and retention. Bar association evaluations and newspaper endorsements are reliable, independent and relevant sources of information about the candidates’ qualifications. All candidates for Illinois judicial offices who won in the March 18 primary election have been rated by Illinois State Bar Association evaluations committees, or in a poll of lawyers conducted by the ISBA. Results are available at www.isba.org/ judicialevaluations.

In counties outside Cook, the advisory poll is conducted by mail and is sent to all ISBA members in the circuit or district from which a

candidate seeks election. Licensed attorneys who are not members of ISBA, or any attorney outside the circuit or district, may request a ballot. Opinions expressed in the poll are of those attorneys who chose to respond and do not reflect the opinion of the Illinois State Bar Association or the opinion of all Illinois attorneys.

We urge everyone to review the ratings, then vote for judicial candidates who are truly the most qualified. Download the results and take them into the voting booth with you. Rest assured that the ratings will provide an excellent guide.

Richard D. Felice President Illinois State Bar Association

Supports 1 percent sales tax in Carroll What would motivate a sane and fairly reasonable businessperson to say the new 1 percent sales tax is a good thing? I have one thought that might resonate with your cerebral cortex, and that is the fact that all the rascally politicians hanging out cannot – I repeat, cannot – touch one red cent of the money generated by the tax.

Fact: 100 percent of the money generated by the new 1percent sales tax will go directly to the schools that children from our communities attend.

Ya, ya, I know nobody likes taxes, but wouldn’t it be fantastic if a tax we pay for didn’t allow politi-

wrapped around it, to slice it up and hand it out like pieces of pie? This sales tax does just that, it leaves the politicians out of the mix so the kids get it all.

There are only two things in life we can be sure of, “death and taxes,” so why wouldn’t you vote yes to a tax that passes the sniff test?

I, Mark Klein, a business owner in Carroll County, am urging you to take a leap of faith in support of our youth to vote yes for the 1percent sales tax.

With full conviction, Mark Klein Savanna Editor’s note: Mark Klein is a West Carroll school board member from District 5.

Public weighs in on bypass options Northwest by north, or south?

BY CHRISTI WARREN Shaw News Service MORRISON – More than 300 people showed up to the Odell Public Library in Morrison on Thursday night to talk to engineers and review plans for the proposed U.S. Route 30 bypass project.

The two proposed options, which have taken a number of different forms since the plan was introduced, are routes that would bypass Morrison to the north and south.

Many residents are concerned that the proposal, which will expand Route 30 into a four-lane highway, will take away business from Morrison.

Phil Renkes, who was at the open house Thursday night, lives in Morrison and is part of the Morrison Area Development Corp. He has folproposed years ago, and sees that it could be a good thing for the town.

Renkes said that he sees that, in the short term, it might look like a bad thing, but residents should be thinking long-term.

“You see towns our size or a little larger maybe that have added a lot of industry, and why? Because they’re on the interstate,” he said.

“Take DeWitt, Iowa. DeWitt was a small town with very little industry.

Now you drive by on a four-lane; they’ve had a lot of growth.”

And, for the record, he prefers the southern route.

Project leaders, though, don’t have a preference, which is why they’re asking for the public’s input on the matter.

Becky Marruffo, a project engineer with the Illinois Department of Transportation, said that the next step in the project will be to take into consideration the public’s comments, and hopefully reach a decision in the next 6 months on which bypass route is the best option – or, if no construction is the best option.

She said roadwork likely wouldn’t begin for years, though.

Residents may submit their thoughts until Nov. 10 via the project’s website www.idot.illinois.gov/ projects/us-30-fulton-to-rock-falls; on the phone at 866-768-8330; and by regular mail: write to Paul A. Loete, IDOT, 819 Depot Ave., Dixon, IL 61021.

SENATE WEEK IN REVIEW Oct. 6-10, 2014

Illinois ranks 48th

By IL Senator Tim Bivins, 45th District

Illinois ranks 48th in the nation in “Economic Outlook,” according to the latest edition of “Rich States, Poor States,” an annual analysis of the relative economic outlook of the states, published by theAmerican Legislative Exchange Council.

That’s the same ranking Illinois received the past 2 years. It’s based on 15 variables, including business tax rates, legal climate, workers’compensation costs, debt service payments and sales and property tax burden.

The state’s high marginal business income tax rate of 9.5 percent was ranked 44th in the nation. Its 11.1 percent debt service as a share of tax revenue ranked it 43rd in that category.

A $2.83 per $100 of payroll cost for workers’ compensation ranked 47th.

Illinois did receive a relatively high score for its low percentage of public employees per 10,000 people, ranking 11th in that category. It also ranked 11th for its sales tax burden of $16.36 per $1,000 of income.

stem violence – a goal that the pro- authority to review audits of state gram could not meet even if it had agencies. In February, Illinois Audibeen properly implemented. tor General Bill Holland released a

Emails show campaign link SPRINGFIELD – Two days of testimony before the bipartisan Legislative Audit Commission provided some answers, but raised many more questions, about Gov. Pat Quinn’s failed anti-violence initiative.

The commission heard from seven former members of the Quinn Administration during the hearings Oct. 8-9 in Chicago, but failed to receive clear answers as to how and why its Neighborhood Recovery Initiative quickly ballooned from $20 million to almost $55 million seemingly overnight, or how neighborhoods and providers actually were chosen to participate.

Lawmakers also questioned how the stated objectives of the program meshed with the Quinn Administration’s rush to put the program in place in the weeks prior to the 2010 governor’s election.

The program’s director, Barbara

As the hearings got under way, emails surfaced that cast doubt on Quinn’s longstanding claim that the troubled violence prevention program was not linked to his campaign.

Instead, the emails revealed that the program was a regular topic of discussion between the governor’s taxpayer-paid chief of staff and his campaign manager, including discussions of how the program could be used to boost support for the governor in African-American neighborhoods.

The emails also showed that one Jerry Stermer, raised questions as to the effectiveness of the program, including one in which Stermer wrote, “. . . I am not at all persuaded that any of the ideas in neighborhood recovery have any solid evidence to show they achieve their goals.”

NRI. It found that the program was hastily implemented just before the 2010 gubernatorial election, that agencies received the nearly $55 million, and that the entire program lacked proper oversight.

During the hearings, none of provide any documentation showing how neighborhoods actually were chosen for the program.

Audit continues

Illinois employers and the state’s costs continue to outpace neighboring states.

Indiana’s $1.16 per $100 of payroll is the second lowest in the nation and less than half that of Illinois. Neighboring Iowa, Kentucky, Wisconsin and Missouri all have lower workers’ compensation rates than Illinois, with only Wisconsin breaking the $2 per $100 of wages mark and even that state’s rates are more than 75 cents per $100 of wages lower than Illinois.

Illinois also ranked 48th for domestic migration – a measure of the number of people moving into the state versus the number moving out.According to the study, more than 600,000 similar measure looked at the number of new taxpayers as a percentage of total taxpayers in each state and again found Illinois 48th in the nation.

This was the seventh edition of “Rich States, Poor States.” Its authors are Arthur B. Laffer, who served as a member of President Ronald Reagan’s Economic PolicyAdvisory Board and is best known for popularizing the “Laffer Curve” showing that tax revenues decline if tax rates exceed an optimal percentage; Stephen Moore, chief economist for the Heritage Foundation and a former member of the Wall Street Journal’s editorial board; and Jonathan Williams, senior task force director of

The commission voted to keep the NRI audit open while more evidence and documentation is collected. The panel has also tasked Holland with additional work in regards to an NRI microloan program that was discussed during testimony.

An additional resolution is pending Workers’ compensation to audit the second 2 years of the costs hurt NRI program.

WRITE IN:

BILL FAWELL

FOR U.S. CONGRESS: LIBERTARIAN PARTY “The People Must Rule The Government”

Every Problem in America Today Is Because The Government Rules The People.

TAKE AMERICA BACK!

Here are 4 Senate Bills before Congress today that will change that dynamic back to the Rule of the People over the government, overnight; its effect, sweeping.

SB 209: Investigate the FED since 2010 (HR 24) (starts to End the FED) Known as: WRITE THE LAWS ACT SB 1663: Congress Must Write All Laws (no more agency law as is today) SB 1664: Only ONE (1) Issue Per Bill (no more omnibus bills) SB 1665: Bill Must Be Read On Floor Before Any Vote (no more 1000 page bills) Neither of my opponents will talk to me about these 4 bills, and neither support all 4 bills required to restore all the powers of Congress. If elected, I will co-sponsor HR 24, and SPONSOR SB 1663, 1664, 1665 that are not currently sponsored in the House.

These 4 Bills I call Liberty Legislation.

Page A12 • October 15, 2014 • BE A PRAIRIE ADVOCATE • www.prairieadvocate.com To the Electors of the State of Illinois: The purpose of a state constitution is to establish a structure for government and laws. There are three ways to initiate change to the Illinois Constitution: (1) a constitutional convention may propose changes to any part; (2) the General Assembly may propose changes to any part; or (3) a petition initiative may propose amendments limited to structural and procedural subjects contained in the Legislative Article. The people of Illinois must approve any changes to the Constitution before they become effective.

PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO SECTION 8.1 OF ARTICLE I OF THE ILLINOIS CONSTITUTION ARTICLE I – BILL OF RIGHTS SECTION 8.1. CRIME VICTIMS’ VICTIM’S RIGHTS. (a) Crime victims, as defined by law, shall have the following rights as provided by law: (1) The right to be treated with fairness and respect for their dignity and privacy and to be free from harassment, intimidation, and abuse throughout the criminal justice process.

(2) The right to notice and to a hearing before a court ruling on a request for access to any of the victim’s records, information, or communications which are privileged or confidential by law.

(3) (2) The right to timely notification of all court proceedings.

(4) (3) The right to communicate with the prosecution.

(5) (4) The right to be heard at any post-arraignment court proceeding in which a right of the victim is at issue and any court proceeding involving a post-arraignment release decision, plea, or sentencing. make a statement to the court at sentencing.

(6) (5) The right to be notified of information about the conviction, the sentence, the imprisonment, and the release of the accused.

(7) (6) The right to timely disposition of the case following the arrest of the accused.

(8) (7) The right to be reasonably protected from the accused throughout the criminal justice process.

(9) The right to have the safety of the victim and the victim’s family considered in denying or fixing the amount of bail, determining whether to release the defendant, and setting conditions of release after arrest and conviction.

(10) (8) The right to be present at the trial and all other court proceedings on the same basis as the accused, unless the victim is to testify and the court determines that the victim’s testimony would be materially affected if the victim hears other testimony at the trial.

(11) (9) The right to have present at all court proceedings, subject to the rules of evidence, an advocate and or other support person of the victim’s choice.

(12) (10) The right to restitution. (b) The victim has standing to assert the rights enumerated in subsection (a) in any court exercising jurisdiction over the case. The court shall promptly rule on a victim’s request. The victim does not have party status. The accused does not have standing to assert the rights of a victim. The court shall not appoint an attorney for the victim under this Section. Nothing in this Section shall be construed to alter the powers, duties, and responsibilities of the prosecuting attorney The General Assembly may provide by law for the enforcement of this Section. (c) The General Assembly may provide for an assessment against convicted defendants to pay for crime victims’ rights. (d) Nothing in this Section or any law enacted under this Section creates a cause of action in equity or at law for compensation, attorney’s fees, or damages against the State, a political subdivision of the State, an officer, employee, or agent of the State or of any political subdivision of the State, or an officer or employee of the court. or in any law enacted under (e) Nothing in this Section or any law enacted under this Section shall be construed as creating (1) a basis for vacating a conviction or (2) a ground for any relief requested by the defendant appellate relief in any criminal case.

EXPLANATION The Constitution sets forth substantial rights for crime victims. The proposed amendment expands certain current rights: 1) Victims are currently entitled to fairness and respect throughout the criminal justice process. The amendment would also provide that they shall be protected from harassment, intimidation and abuse.

2) Victims currently can make a statement to the court when a criminal defendant is sentenced to punishment. The amendment would allow a victim to be heard at any proceeding that involves the victim’s rights, and any proceeding involving a plea agreement, release of the defendant or convicted individual, or sentencing.

3) Victims may obtain information about conviction, sentencing, imprisonment or release. The amendment would require prosecutors and the court to notify victims of those events before they happen.

The amendment would also grant additional rights to crime victims: 1) A victim would have a right to formal notice and a hearing before the court rules on any request for access to the victim’s information which is privileged or confidential information.

2) A victim would have the right to have the judge consider the victim’s safety and the safety of his or her family before deciding whether to release a criminal defendant, setting the amount of bail to be paid before release, or setting conditions of release after arrest or conviction.

3) The victim would have the right to assert his or her rights in any court with jurisdiction over the criminal case, but would not have the same rights as the prosecutor or the criminal defendant and the court could not appoint an attorney for the victim at taxpayer expense.

The proposed amendment would not alter the powers, duties or responsibilities of the prosecutor. Further, a criminal defendant would not be able to challenge his or her conviction on the basis of a failure to follow these provisions.

The people of Illinois must approve any changes to the Constitution before they become effective.

The proposed amendment adds a new section to the Suffrage and Elections Article of the Illinois Constitution. The section would ensure no person could be denied the right to register to vote or cast a ballot based on his or her race, color, ethnicity, status as a member of a language minority, national origin, religion, sex, sexual orientation, or income. At the general election to be held on November 4, 2014, you will be called upon to decide whether the proposed amendment should become part of the Illinois Constitution.

“This is a wonderful opportunity to hear the talented organists with which Morrison is blessed,” said Anne Frame on behalf of the Morrison UMC. “This occasion will celebrate the installation of the upgraded and enriched Methodist organ.”

The organists are Pat Cassens from United Methodist Church, Marguerite Clark from Ebenezer Reformed, Rich Criss from Emmanuel Reformed, and Cynthia Perrizo from First Presbyterian Church. Each will play 12 to 15 minutes. Cellist Samuel Sykes, son of Philip and Carrie Sykes, also will perform.

At the end of May, the organ was removed from the church to be modernized by the Levsen Organ Co. of Buffalo, Iowa.

It was rewired and returned in mid-August. A 32-foot pedal was created and other stops were moved. A Midi computer was added that would allow, if needed, 99 different organists to program individually. Lastly, a transposer was inserted to transpose any type of music.

Donations will be taken.

When I asked Julia what she thinks we could do with it, her response was, “We should give it to the poor little children.” Bless her heart.
