County board resolves to

By TONY CARTON For Prairie Advocate

The 4th annual Great Pumpkin Street Drags, sponsored

by Kunes Country Auto Group, was the featured event at Saturday’s Pumpkin Fest in Mount Carroll. Real pumpkins, fashioned into racing machines, sped down Rapp Street next to City Hall.

MOUNT CARROLL — Throughout October, area agencies are working to shed light on the terrible reality of domestic violence.

Almost everyone is familiar with some form of domestic violence, but still the problem not only remains, but grows.

Riverview Center is working with added fervor this month to shed light on the issue and to put an end to domestic violence. It is visiting schools, civic organizations and even received an approved resolution from the Carroll County Board at its October meeting, recognizing the month as National Domestic Violence Awareness Month.

“One in four 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,” said Riverview Advocate Diane Heath.

“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 had earlier listed the sheer volume of help line calls answered in the county to a stunned and silent board room.

“The Riverview Center had 454 helpline calls in Carroll County over the course of 1 year,” Heath said. “We’ve had 992 direct service hours for individuals seeking services and 20 hours of institutional advocacy, 12 hours of

professional training, and 10 hours of public education just for the domestic violence services.”

Statistically, Heath had actually shared conservative numbers. According to the CDC, nationally one in four women and one in seven men will become victims of domestic violence in their lifetime. This could be a best friend, a sister or brother or coworker.

Often unheralded is that more than 60 percent of the time, domestic violence will happen at home, making it the third leading cause of homelessness.

By Sauk Valley Media MOUNT CARROLL – A walk through the labyrinth sageways is a foray into the twisted mind of Jim The 65-year-old lifelong Mount Carroll resident is owner, caretaker and resident tour guide at Raven’s Grin, a year-round haunted house that casts off the traditional trappings of the genre.

The imposing Italianate mansion, with its faded turquoise trim, was built in 1870. The building has been a tavern, a brothel, a school, a brewery, an Oldsmobile dealership, and apartments. the condemned property for $3,000. There was no working plumbing or electricity.

The windows were broken, and the roof was leaking. He moved right in, though, and spent a few years transforming the dilapidated domicile into a haunted house. a haunted house that was open for tours only in October. That lasted a few years.

Raven’s Grin is unlike the typical haunted house. It’s not violent. It’s not bloody.

Over the years, Raven’s Grin evolved into a ghoulish gallery of creations, a cramped and crowded fourstory, 15-room monument to the macabre that is open for tours nearly every day of the year.

Farm Bureau at a glance

By Chastity Welch Carroll County Manager

O

rder forms are out for the nuts! We will be getting some in for all your holiday baking prior to Thanksgivis crazy to think that we are soon going to be in the holiday season.

We are also taking orders for candles as well. We sell Milkhouse Candles which are made of soy and beeswax. We have a wide variety of holiday scents and all the classic favorites. We maintain a supply on hand throughout the year. If you would like an order form, visit carrollcfb.org or contact our office.

Speaking of the holiday season coming upon us, don’t forget as you are planning your holiday travel that Farm Bureau members can save on hotels. Sometimes it is just better to plan on staying in a hotel than cram everyone into a relative’s house. That extra space and being able to escape for a while is the peace! A savings of 20 percent off is enough for me to make that decision easily!

Just last week I was driving home from Sterling around 6:30 at night. I was very frustrated as I was driving. I had come up on some farmers who were making bad decisions. I was on county roads, which are very highly traveled.

The one that got me the most was the boy who was probably 12 or 13. He wasn’t very big. He was driving an old tractor. It was an IH without a roll bar. I was driving into the setting sun and came up behind him. He was pulling a hayrack and there were no visible lights. It was at just that right time of dusk where he was very hard to see.

Part of me wanted to stop him and point out how hazardous it was for him to be doing what he was doing at that time of night with no lights. He was also sitting to the side of the seat to reach better. The other part wanted to stop at the Whiteside County Sheriff’s house and have him go talk to this kid’s

parents!

I was a kid at one time on a farm who did things I shouldn’t have. As an adult I realize how stupid I was at times. Also, as a parent who knows how BUSY that road is and how I was paying attention and barely saw him, what about all those others who aren’t? I know as well!

So the moral of this story is for parents to think about what situation you are putting your young farmers in as you are having them help this fall.

The time of year has come where I anxiously wait to get feedback on our annual reports. I have heard that our Young Leaders did not win the Harvest for All award for our membership group. This, I believe, is a county beat us by collecting over 35,000 pounds of food! WOW! That is a lot of food for a group to collect.

Congrats to them and their success.

HIGHLAND COMMUNITY COLLEGE

Jane Addams’ vision for political candidates featured at HCC FREEPORT — The Highland Community College Global Task Force will host a program entitled Jane Addams: Why her vision is vital today, at 7 p.m. on Thursday, Nov. 5, in the Student/Conference Center, Room H201.

The program will be presented by Judy Whipps, a professor of Liberal Studies

“My program will focus on Jane Addams’ vision which was shaped during a time when democracy was in crisis,” said Whipps. “I

will speak of how deep divisions between the rich and rights, the turmoil around immigration and working arising from labor movement were all threatening the stability of the nation.

“Even though Addams was 60 years old before she was able to vote, her activism changed the landscape of these social and political

issues. Her aspirations for democracy, and her trust in the pragmatist method of working with others are models that all of us, including politicians, can still learn from today,” said Whipps.

The event is free and open to the public. For more information, contact Kay Ostberg at kay.ostberg@ highland.edu or 815-5993533.
