SAVANNA

MOUNT CARROLL

Longtime Savanna police chief resigns

New lights planned at City Hall

Dimmick appointed as interim chief with Michael Moon’s exit

BY MICHAEL MILLER For Prairie Advocate

SAVANNA – After 16 years as Savanna’s chief of police, Michael Moon turned in his formal resignation to the City Council last week.

Moon, who has taken an offer to become a part of the Morrison Police Department, has been on the Savanna force for 21 years.

His official letter of resignation stated that he planned to take early retirement from the Savanna Police Department as a deferred pensioner. He spoke briefly about the matter at the council’s meeting May 23.

Moon told the council he had “really enjoyed his time here, and I’m going to miss a lot of people; the police department, the council, the mayor’s office, the city office and a lot of the citizens. …

Savanna’s a wonderful town, and unfortunately I’m going to have to relocate. But I’m always a phone call away, so if you ever need anything, give me a call.”

Mayor Chris Lain thanked Moon for helping with his transition.

Moon’s last day will be June 9.

Lain recommended Lt. Kevin Dimmick to serve as interim police chief. Dimmick has served in the department for nearly 26 years.

Alderman Sara Despain Purdom suggested that Officer Dan Nevills could be another choice, given his military background and experience with undercover operations.

As the council discussed the dynamics of filling the position full-time, City Attorney Phil Jensen presented several options, including filling the position from within the department, conducting local and national searches for a candidate, and hiring an outside agency to find such a candidate.

Lain said it would be “fantastic” if they could promote from within.

Dimmick, present at the meeting, said he would be interested in the accepting the position on a permanent basis.

The council approved the appointment of Dimmick, with Purdom the sole “nay” vote.

Two applications for TIF district

TIF Committee Chairman Pat Sanchez reported that two more businesses had applied for

assistance through the TIF district, including 208 Chicago Ave. and 44 Main St. (the site of the former KFC/Taco Bell).

The committee recommended approving resolutions which would allow each of the businesses to proceed with their improvements and renovations, with a subsequent application to be filled out which would provide more exact detail of the type, scope and cost of such work.

Alderman Jeff Griswold asked what types of business would be going into each property, and Sanchez said that the business at 208 Chicago Ave.(The Filling Station) planned to do some expansion work and that the other owner would address the council shortly.

Savanna Helping Savanna

Pastor Gary Peneta of First Presbyterian Church addressed the council, asking for volunteers and informing them of his group, Savanna Helping Savanna, and its purpose.

He said it consists of “interested community residents who want to volunteer their time to improve the community.”

He said the intention was to give

We’re Celebrating 80 Years!

The Prairie Advocate is the area’s most widely-read weekly newspaper – delivered free of charge to more than 15,000 households each week!!

free aid to low-income residents and people with illness and disabilities with exterior painting, yard cleanup, mowing, and removing unwanted clutter from homes or yards. Peneta also wanted help in finding people who need such help, and presented brochures and forms for volunteers and application for aid assistance.

New business owner discusses plans

Travis Prowant, who has purchased the building at 44 Main St. addressed the council with an overview of his plans and his request for TIF assistance. He said he purchased the building from the owner of McDonald’s in Savanna, who originally wanted a clause stating it could never be used as a fast food business. Prowant said he negotiated that down to a 20-year covenant, so as to free up future options for Savanna.

He said all the funds put into the project are his. He said he plans to use the building to open a gaming parlor and drive -hrough liquor store. Prowant said he plans to initially have five gaming machines, then expand to 10.

He said he was willing to spend between $200,000 and $300,000 to do needed major renovations.

Prairie Advocate staff

MOUNT CARROLL – A little more light will shine at Mount Carroll City Hall.

The City Council voted May 23 to approve a proposal from Herrell Electric to improve light fixtures and lighting at City Hall. City Clerk Julie Cuckler said the lights will be changed to LEDs, which requires removing the old electrical ballasts at the facility.

“It’s $2,111. There’ll be a refund of some lighting equipment, about $750.

Through savings, it’ll pay for itself over time,” Cuckler said.

The council’s next meeting will be at 7:30 p.m. June 13 at City Hall, 302 N. Main St.

Maurie and Patricia Grafton entertained the music lovers on stage Saturday afternoon at Mayfest in Mount Carroll. A number of musical acts kept the crowds dancing and happy throughout the weekend’s festivities.

MILLEDGEVILLE – A proposed $10.4 million improvement project for Milledgeville High School will not affect the veterans memorial park west of the school.

Chadwick-Milledgeville School Superintendent Tim Schurman said he talked with the Milledgeville Park District on May 23, and the project will be redesigned to go to the north of the school, and away from the memorial park.

“We’re changing the design. It’ll have a new approach and two parking spaces dedicated for the memorial park,” Schurman said.

The new design will not use any of the memorial park’s land. Schurman said the redesign may push back the project.

“It’s in flux,” Schurman said.

The initial proposal was created by OpTerra Energy Services after tit toured the school earlier

Next meeting The ChadwickMilledgeville School Board will meet at 7 p.m. June 19 at the library at Milledgeville High School, 100 E. Eighth St. in May. replacing the school’s HVAC system and some windows, and asbestos abatement for about $5.9 million, and creating an addition with a gymnasium and office space for an estimated $4.5 million.

The project also includes repurposing and remodeling some of the building’s lower level.

A final vote on the project is scheduled for the school board’s June 19 meeting.

A very special thank you to Exchange State Bank of Lanark for planning, organizing, and hosting the bake sale on Dec. 16, 2016, and to those who contributed. We would also like to thank all of those who contributed and attended the benefit held on

April 29 at Henry’s Double K in Mount Carroll. Again, thank you to Exchange State Bank for all the hard work and countless hours of planning for the benefit.

Also, a big thank you to those businesses and individuals who donated their time, space, food, raffle items, silent auction items, and live auction items. It was truly amazing to see the number of people that came out to support us during this difficult time. The success of the event was a reflection of the generosity and kindness of family, friends, and community.

Lastly, thank you to those who supported our family in so many ways at the time of our loss. Your kindness and support will always be held in grateful remembrance by the family of Debra Larem.

Assisted living residents of Resthave Home in Morrison enjoyed planting flowers on May 15. The weather cooperated, and it was a gorgeous day when residents were choosing what flowers should go where. They planted the flowers in several raised garden beds, and enjoyed “just digging in the dirt”, Katherine Janssen said.

Blood donation opportunities locally Prairie Advocate staff

Before busy summer schedules set in, the American Red Cross urges eligible donors to roll up a sleeve to help ensure a sufficient supply for patients in need.

Donors of all blood types are needed to help accident and burn victims, heart surgery and organ transplant patients, and those receiving cancer treatment.

Giving blood is an easy and thoughtful way to honor a loved one who has relied on blood products, to follow in the example of a family member who gives regularly or to simply help

others.

Make an appointment to donate blood by downloading the free Red Cross Blood Donor App, visiting redcrossblood. org or calling 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-7332767). Donors can then also visit redcrossblood. org/cedarfair to enter to win one of three grand prize packages for four to Knott’s Berry Farm in California or Cedar Point in Ohio.

Savanna Rotarians recognize Klein

By Chastity Welch Carroll County Manager

I

t is no secret that athletics and sports are a big part of my house.

It is also probably no secret that I try to also eat healthy most of the time.

There is a lot of weight lifting done at our house, a lot of supplements, and protein via shakes and red meat.

Just last week, there was an article in Sauk Valley Media’s weekend edition on a girl from Sterling who is quite the running athlete.

She has qualified for state in track her first 3 years and medaled 2 years. She began struggling with breathing.

She was diagnosed with asthma, but an inhaler didn’t help. She was being told she might need to give up running. After many, many trips to doctors, they found out her iron was very dangerously low. She was a vegetarian. Now, don’t get me wrong in this, I am not saying there is anything wrong with that lifestyle.

The doctors told her she needed more iron, and she needed to take iron supplement pills and change her diet. As someone who does watch my diet, I focus more on not eating carbs, but I can also tell when I have had too many salads and too much fish. I crave that red meat. Our bodies need it. It is all part of being healthy and having balance.

May was National Beef Month. There are many ways and many lean cuts of beef that can easily be combined into a healthy diet. And with 22 grams of protein in a quarter-pound hamburger, it is a great source of iron, protein, and B-12. Just like

everything in life, eating is about balance. I will have that burger for supper, or have it in my salad at lunch, and still have a greens snack shake before the gym, as I know I need both of them in my diet.

I never saw our news release on our scholarship winners in any of the local papers. $1,000 General Scholarships were awarded to: Anna Badtke, daughter of Bruce and Rhonda Badtke. Anna is attending Iowa State University, where she is pursuing a degree in Athletic Training.

Bailey Durward, daughter of Andrew and Janice Durward of Thomson.

Bailey is attending the University of Illinois, where she is pursuing a degree in Accounting and Ag Business. Bailey is a member of Phi Eta Signma Honor Society at the U of I. Ashley Beyers, daughter of Jason and Heather Beyers of Lanark. Ashley graduated from Eastland High School in May. Â Ashley will be attending Gannon University in Pennsylvania, where she will be pursing a degree in Pre-Vet medicine and biology.

Kristen Habben, daughter of Gene and Karen Habben of Thomson. Kristen graduated from Milledgeville High School in May. Kristen will be studying sonography at Sauk Valley Community College this fall.

Rebecca Alexander, daughter of Branden and Sheila Alexander of Chadwick. Rebecca graduated from Milledgeville High School in 2015 and has been studying biology

Farewell, Susan!

Susan Lawler retired after serving several years on the Carroll County Senior Center Board. Susan volunteered to be on the board in 2011 and has served as vice chairman and treasurer. Susan also volunteered to decorate the front window, help with craft sales and, most important, helped the Senior Center move forward with all our recent transitions. Susan always went above and beyond to make sure everything that needed to be done was done. We all wish her a bright future.

What do you do with your old cellphones?

Carroll County Senior Center has a donation box for old and broken cellphones. We recycle them by sending them to a company that refurbishes them for emergency 911 phones in areas devastated by disasters and for sale to low income persons.

There is one box at the Senior Center now. If the program goes well, we will increase the number of boxes and place them in other areas around the county.

If you know of anyone looking to get rid of old cellphones, ask them to drop them off at the Carroll County Senior Center during our regular business hours, 8 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., Monday thru Friday. As always, you can help yourself to free coffee and cookies while helping us collect the cellphones.

Activities at the Senior Center Recycling Senior Service earns a great deal of money each year through the efforts of those who gather newspapers and aluminum cans in their respective communities, and those who bundle the paper and haul it to the local distribution centers. We need more help with this project. The “gathering” people work just a couple of hours a month in their respective communities.

The “bundlers” work at the Senior Center just about any day when they have an hour or two to spare. And the “loaders/haulers” help load and/ or haul the papers to the distribution center.

Call 815-244-1800 for more information or see Keith, Allen, Dale, Bob, Lawrence, Ray, Jim, Bud, Wayne, or Norma.

Mark your calendar and join us. No

charge. Coffee, pop and treats are provided. In case of bad weather, please listen to WCCI radio for closing information.

Wayside Saloon raises money for Little Cubs Field

GRO – Great River Outreach The Great River Outreach offers a delicious meal, friendship, and good conversation at two locations. In Savanna, food is served from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Monday through Friday, at the former Chestnut Park School near Poopy’s, south of town on state Route 84.

In Mount Carroll, food is served from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Wednesday at Mount Carroll United Methodist Church.

Any age is welcome. Donations are accepted but not required.

Penny Von Essen cooks for both locations and food is brought to Mount Carroll. Volunteers are involved in this endeavor. Why eat alone? Consider joining the group often!

Are You Turning 65?

Do you need help understanding Medicare A, B, C and D? Then come and see us at the Senior Center. We will help make this time easier for you.

Turning 65 can be very confusing with all the information you receive in the mail about which Medicare D Plan to take or which supplemental to get. If you have questions, stop by and see our SHIP Counselors, Deb Connor and Karen Holm, and we can help you sort through the confusion. Also remember to stop at the Carroll County Court House to complete

your Senior Citizens Assessment Freeze Homestead Exemption application and affidavit.

When you turn 65 and become eligible for Medicare, the best time to enroll is during your Initial Enrollment Period.

Your IEP includes the three months before, the month of, and the three months following your 65th birthday. Your IEP will span from September 2016 to March 2017. If you enroll in Medicare during this time, you will avoid late enrollment penalties.

The date when your Medicare coverage begins depends on when you enroll during your IEP. For your coverage to begin as soon as possible, it is best to enroll in the first three months of your IEP. Your Medicare coverage will then go into effect starting the month you turn 65.

To enroll in Medicare, please stop by the Senior Center and we can do this for you.

It is important to be proactive and take the steps to enroll during your IEP. If you miss your IEP, you may be limited to specific times when you can enroll in Medicare in the future, and you may face a penalty for late enrollment, resulting in higher premiums.

The Senior Center is open from 8 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Stop by and get your questions answered.

Do you qualify for extra help with your prescription drug costs?

Extra Help is the federal assistance program that helps individuals with limited finances pay for their Medicare prescription drug costs.

In 2016, individuals who receive $1,485 or less each month and have $13,640 or less in assets should qualify for Extra Help. In 2016, couples who receive $2,003 or less each month and have $27,250 or less in assets should qualify for Extra Help.

Do not count your home, vehicles,

personal possessions, life insurance, burial plots, irrevocable burial contracts or back payments from Social Security or SSI as assets.

If you have Medicaid, a Medicare savings program, or you receive Supplemental Security Income, you should get Extra Help automatically. If you do not get Extra Help automatically, or think you may qualify, please stop by and see Karen or Deb at the Senior Center, and we can apply for Extra Help on line.

Thank You! A BIG THANK YOU, to Charlotte Miller for volunteering the past 4 years at the Senior Center. Charlotte helped me to get the monthly Grape Vine ready to send to the newspapers. Charlotte, I will truly miss you and your kindness.

SPRINGFIELD

McCombie resolution honors Navy captain, astronaut from Savanna Prairie Advocate staff

Wayside Saloon owner Amber Koertner presents a check for $610.87 to Denny Garkey, president of the board of Little Cubs Field in Freeport. The saloon raised the money to support Little Cubs Field during a Cubs Trivia Night and silent auction event April 1.

Seniors Around the County

SPRINGFIELD – The Illinois House of Representatives has unanimously approved a House Joint Resolution naming the Savanna-Sabula bridge after a Navy captain and astronaut from Savanna.

The Dale Gardner Veterans Memorial Bridge “gives much deserved recognition to the service and accomplishments of U.S. Navy Capt. Dale Gardner and the veterans who dedicated their lives to this country,” said state Rep. Tony McCombie, R-Savanna, who sponsored the resolution. “Through this resolution, their accomplishments will live

on.”

Dale Gardner was a the valedictorian of Savanna Community High School class of 1966, and earned a Bachelor of Science and Engineering from the University of Illinois in 1970 with a 5.0 GPA. After graduation, he joined the Navy, where he earned his Naval Flight Wings and rose to the rank of Captain.

In 1978, NASA selected Gardner to be an astronaut, and he logged 337 hours in space, orbiting the earth 225 times.

Before his death on Feb. 19, 2014 at the age of 65, Gardner earned numerous awards and medals for his service and

accomplishments.

The new Dale Gardner Veterans Memorial Bridge is scheduled to open in 2018 and cost $80 million.

It will replace the outdated and functionally obsolete 20-foot-wide, half-mile-long Savanna-Sabula Bridge, which opened more than 85

years ago.

HJR 58 was an initiative of Dale Gardner’s classmates from Savanna High School to name the new bridge spanning the Mississippi River connecting Savanna and Sabula, Iowa. To read the full resolution, visit repmccombie.com.

Photo submitted; text by Olivia Charles, Carroll County Kids 4-H Club reporter

The May meeting of the Carroll County Kids 4-H club was held at the Wynia house, and the kids participating in archery as a 4-H project gave their demonstrations. Aubrey Charles gave the main demonstration, teaching the club about safety when handling a bow and arrow, and how to properly shoot a bow. Then, Shallon, Marryn and Erawyn Wynia helped distribute bows, and helped all of the kids do a couple of rounds. After at the meeting, the club decided members will buy Carroll County Kids 4-H Club shirts, for kids to wear at the fair. Members also decided they will be making two back-to-school auction baskets for a silent auction at the fair, and had families sign up for the ice cream stand. The next meeting will be June 25 at the Carroll County Fairgrounds Horse Arena in Milledgeville. The club will work with the Milledgeville Hotshots 4-H club to do weather sealing on the bleachers at the Horse Arena.
