He grew up learning to use his hands on the family farm and was in terested in anything mechanical or electrical. He wasn’t afraid to jump in and figure out a complex problem. Jacob was a good leader, often protective and showing the way. He always reminisced about the days growing up with three younger brothers. He was a 2016 high school graduate, homeschooled throughout his life. During his last year, he attended Whiteside County Career Center. He started to carpool there with another homeschooled girl, who became the future love of his life, Hannah Brill. He and Hannah would sit in the parking lot and just talk for hours. They became best of friends,
as a worship leader and youth group leader. His faith was important to him, and his family can rely on that now.

In 2019 they had a son, Emerson, and in 2022 moved from Lanark to Polo, where they could fulfill their dream of having a place in the country to raise their kids. He was an incredible dad, teaching Emerson, “his little guy”, how to work with his hands.
He will be dearly missed by his wife Hannah and son Emerson of Polo (along with another baby on the way); his parents, William and Michelle Iske of rural Lanark; three brothers, Grant (Brianna) Iske of Lanark, Gage and Jett Iske of rural Lanark; grandparents, Ray and Vickie Welsh of Durand, IL; sister-in-law Beth Brill; and his mother and father-in-law, Ed and Sue Brill.

Explanation of Amendment
OFFICESPRINGFIELD,BUILDINGILLINOISOFTHESECRETARYOF STATE
negates, or diminishes the right of employees to organize and bargain collectively over their wages, hours, and other terms and conditions of employment and work place safety, including any law or ordinance that prohibits the execution or application of agreements between employers and labor organizations that represent employees requiring membership in an organization as a condition of employment.
A fundamental right provided to all citizens under the First Amendment of the United States Constitution is the right to free speech and freedom of association. This amendment prohibits any law or ordinance that allows union workers to choose whether they wish to be a member of the union or not. Under the 2018 United States Supreme Court decision Janus v. Illinois AFSCME, non-union government workers cannot be required to pay union dues as a condition of working in the public sector. Approval of this constitutional amendment will deny that protection to private sector workers. The amendment also states that lawmakers could never "interfere with, negate, or diminish" certain rights. These terms are broad and undefined and leave lawmakers without the ability to clarify through legislation. Our Illinois Constitution provides such protection to public employees. The result of that protection has been to squash efforts by state lawmakers and voters to address Illinois' pension fund deficits.

(b) The provisions of this Section are controlling over those of Section 6 of Article VII.
YES For the proposed addition of Section 25 to Article I of the Illinois Constitution.
This amendment will protect workers' and others' safety. That includes guaranteeing nurses' right to put patient care ahead of profit and making sure construction workers can speak up when there's a safety issue. It will protect workers from being silenced when they call attention to food safety threats, shoddy construction, and other problems that could harm Illinoisans. This amendment protects firefighters and EMTs who put their lives on the line to protect Illinoisans. It means they get the training and safety equipment they need to do their jobs, and can speak out when they see a problem without fear of retaliation. This amendment will help our economy by putting more money in workers' pockets who join together and get raises. That will mean more money going into our communities and small businesses as people join the middle class with good-paying jobs.

Arguments In Favor of the Proposed Amendment
The Illinois Constitution establishes a structure of government and laws for the State of Illinois. 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 Illinois Constitution before they become effective. The purpose of this document is to inform you of proposed changes to the Illinois Constitution and to provide you with a brief explanation and a summary of the arguments in favor of and in opposition to the proposed amendment.

Explanation of Amendment
The proposed amendment, which takes effect upon approval by the voters, adds Section 25 to the Bill of Rights Article of the Illinois Constitution. The new section will guarantee workers the fundamental right to organize and to bargain collectively and to negotiate safety conditions, wages, hours, working conditions, and economic welfare. The amendment prohibits the passage of any new law within the State that restricts or prohibits workers from engaging in collective bargaining with their employer over wages, hours, and other terms and conditions of employment, like safety protocols or training.
A fundamental right provided to all citizens under the First Amendment of the United States Constitution is the right to free speech and freedom of association. This amendment prohibits any law or ordinance that allows union workers to choose whether they wish to be a member of the union or not. Under the 2018 United States Supreme Court decision Janus v. Illinois AFSCME, non-union government workers cannot be required to pay union dues as a condition of working in the public sector. Approval of this constitutional amendment will deny that protection to private sector workers. The amendment also states that lawmakers could never "interfere with, negate, or diminish" certain rights. These terms are broad and undefined and leave lawmakers without the ability to clarify through legislation. Our Illinois Constitution provides such protection to public employees. The result of that protection has been to squash efforts by state lawmakers and voters to address Illinois' pension fund deficits.
This amendment will protect workers' and others' safety. That includes guaranteeing nurses' right to put patient care ahead of profit and making sure construction workers can speak up when there's a safety issue. It will protect workers from being silenced when they call attention to food safety threats, shoddy construction, and other problems that could harm Illinoisans. This amendment protects firefighters and EMTs who put their lives on the line to protect Illinoisans. It means they get the training and safety equipment they need to do their jobs, and can speak out when they see a problem without fear of retaliation.

Thesaid.idea to move the signa ture Vista Dome of Burling ton’s famed Twin Cities Zephyr was spawned when former Oregon resident Peter Medins, now of Woodstock, met Aber nethy on a rail tour run by Abernethy. When they started talking about Abernethy’s ongoing restoration work on the sleek rail car, Medins sug gested the move to Oregon.
OREGON – After hop scotching around the Midwest for 20 years and keeping rail road enthusiasts waiting for the past five weeks, the vintage Silver View dome rail car now can call Oregon “home.”
“It looks like it has a home now,” said Mike Abernethy, a St. Charles resident who owns the iconic dome car that once ran with the famed Twin Sister Cities Zephyr. “It’s pretty much a dream come true for me to know now that it has a goodThathome.”home is the Oregon Depot Museum, located on the south edge of Oregon, Illinois, a town of 3,800 about 40 miles west of DeKalb.

Abernethy has owned the Silver View for 20 years after buying it at an auction from a railway company in New York. He remembered watch ing the Zephyr – with the Sil ver View in tow – in the early 1950s when visiting his aunt and uncle near Prairie Du Chien,“WhenWisconsin.wewould go down to visit them, they would say, ‘Oh, let’s take Mike over to see the Zephyr.’ And whenever I saw the Silver View on the back end that was a big deal for me,” Abernethy said.
“They threw some rocks and broke some of the win dows,” he said.
Cain said having the car in Oregon should help speed up the restoration process.

Silver View was built by the Budd Co. and delivered to the Burl ington Northern-Santa Fe on Nov. 29, 1947. It immediately became one of the signature Vista Dome cars for the Burlington’s famed Twin Cities Zephyrs. The Twin Cities Zephyrs operated between Chicago and its namesake cities. It was marketed as “where natures smiles for 300 miles.”Silver View and its sister car, Sil ver Vista, both operated as daytime parlor cars with one drawing room.
Their domes were configured with the customary 24 seats. The “main floor” of the cars had 26 par lor seats in the tail/observation end.

Gunnarsson revealed that while the number of B&Bs has steadily increased, the revenue from them in total had decreased in the last year. He said in 2019-20, the city issued 13 licenses with a revenue of $51,100. In 2020-21, 15 licenses yielded $52,965. In 2021-22, 23 licenses yielded $75,972. But in the current year 2022-23, 28 licenses (with three pending) had yielded $30,293.“So, more licenses,” Gunnarsson said. “But not as busy.”

With Hotel/Motel Chairperson Joc elyn Boyd absent because of illness, committee member Jim Friedenbach detailed the events of the committee’s last meeting, noting that with more and more B&B ventures starting up, the issue of the city obtaining all the relevant tax revenue also was becom ing harder, in addition to the coding issue.Alderman Pat Sanchez said he’d heard from residents and observed himself that the growing number of properties becoming B&Bs made it increasingly difficult for families to find housing in the city, as well.
This agreement was not previously approved by council and the city is still determining what services it will request in return from the Corps.

Gunnarsson questioned whether the agreement was even valid, given the fact that the council had not approved it, but advocated for honor ing it, commenting that keeping a good relationship with the Corps of Engi neers was a good idea for a river town, and that to “upend” the deal would cause them quite a bit of hardship as they are well into their planned proj ect.“There are going to be times when we want the Corps to treat us well, and it’s like ‘we’re friendly to you, and we expect you guys to be friendly back to us when we need you,” he said.
