Clarification

Rededication in Mount Carroll

Though Mount Carroll has dealt with a handful of routine write-offs of utility bills in the past, the village has not had to deal with a situation similar to the one in Lanark, where city officials are trying to sort out the status of $84,000 in unpaid utility bills discovered by the new city clerk.

Mount Carroll City Clerk Julie Cuckler said the city has had write-offs on at least two utility accounts in the past 30 years, but the amounts have ranged from less than $1,000 to less than $5,000.

A quote from Lanark Mayor Ken Viglietta in the June 14 Prairie Advocate said that Mount Carroll chose to wipe out “just under $50,000” in write-offs. Viglietta made the comment during a Lanark City Council meeting June 6.

Board votes to offer health insurance to union workers

The monument was first dedicated in 1891, and received new lighting earlier this year. Saturday’s event was part of the city’s yearlong sesquicentennial celebration.

MOUNT CARROL – The Carroll County Board on Thursday approved offering county health insurance coverage to Carpenters Union members who work on county projects. But there was some confusion about the extent of the coverage.

The union made the request when health insurance costs for members nearly tripled from $575 monthly ($6,900 yearly) to $1,666 ($19,992 yearly) starting Aug. 1.

Board Chairman Kevin Reibel said workers could continue to be covered by union insurance, but “it would be at their expense.”

Not clarified before Thursday’s vote was whether county insurance would also be offered to members of a union worker’s family.

“It is very confusing, because in their letters they are saying no families,” county Administrator Mike Doty said. “But they are offering families based on their response back.”

He explained composite coverage as applying one rate to everyone who is insured.

“Basically, if the rate for an employee is one of whatever the price is, then when you apply the factor to a spouse coming on

that would be two units, they would then pay about $3,200,” Doty said. “It is very confusing because in their letter they are saying no families, while in essence they are saying, ‘Yeah, we’re going to cover you.’

However, they are definitely not offering what an employee price only is.”

The board directed its Blue Cross Blue Shield carrier to begin necessary calculations and paperwork to complete the transition process by the Aug. 1 date set by the union’s carrier.

GIS data request

JULIE Inc. Damage Prevention Manager Dave Van Wy requested the agency have free or reduced access to the county’s Geographic Information System data.

JULIE Inc. provides Illinois excavators and underground utility owners with a one-call message handling and delivery service committed to protecting underground utilities and the safety of people working or living near them. JULIE neither owns nor marks any underground lines.

“We are a privately owned not-for-profit mandated by federal and state law,” Van

Wy said. “We try to keep our costs as low as possible, while providing the best service to our constituency, which is any excavator and all facility owners.”

He said the GIS data is expensive, but necessary to JULIE’s work.

“We don’t sell data or make it available to the public,” Van Wy said. “We use it when someone is digging at a specific address and needs information pertinent to digging at that spot.”

He said GIS data allows for a more efficient use of resources in notifying neighboring properties.

“I fully appreciate the fact that the taxpayers in Carroll County paid for this GIS data,” he said. “Those same taxpayers are paying their electric bills and gas bills and water bills, ... [and their] costs will go up because as a not-forprofit we cannot afford to continue providing quality JULIE services.”

Following considerable discussion, the board directed County GIS Technician Jeremy Hughes to return with a counterproposal of costs and expenses.

2018 ELECTION | STATE REPRESENTATIVE, 89TH DISTRICT

Williams: I want to make a difference Democratic candidate for state House meets public in Mount Carroll

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

MOUNT CARROLL – As the results came in last Nov. Nov. 8, Ann Williams started feeling physically ill.

“Where are my American compadres saying, ‘No, this isn’t right’?” Williams, 51, recalled Monday to a crowd of nine people at the Mount Carroll Community House.

A Democrat and Galena resident, Williams is starting her campaign to run in next November’s 89th District Hstate House race. The incumbent is state Rep. Brian Stewart, R–Freeport.

While Williams shared her concerns about the national discourse, she said she’s not running because

About Ann Williams Ann Cameron Williams was born in Prospect Heights, the daughter of Paul and Jeane. She attended Cornell College in Mount Vernon, Iowa, and is the single mother of Geoffrey, who has Down syndrome.

Williams worked part-time for a police agency, later attending night school and earning a master’s degree in liberal arts from the University of Chicago. In 2005, she obtained a Ph.D. in disability studies from the University of Illinois at Chicago. In 2015, she returned to Prospect Heights from Washington, D.C., to care for her mother, and now lives in Galena.

“I’m running because I want to make a difference,” Williams said, adding that she understands there are a lot of people who don’t agree with her, and she respects their right to vote the way they wish.

“The sense of decency seems to have evaporated

in centers of government. It hasn’t evapoprated out here,” Williams said.

She plans to meet with residents across the district this summer, hearing their concerns as she presents her platform.

The 89th District covers portions of Carroll, Ogle, Whiteside, and Winnebago counties, and all of Jo Daviess

and Stephenson counties.

Williams worked on Hillary Clinton’s national disability advisory team during last year’s presidential election.

Ann’s son, Geoffrey, 23, has Down syndrome, and is a professional photographer based in Galena. Williams also does management consulting for organizations which help people with disabilities, and worked in Washington, D.C., for Easter Seals and the Arc of the United States.

The new candidate cited four specific areas she wants to work on if elected – helping to balance the state budget, creating jobs, helping schools have ample resources and retain teachers, and working on a progressive tax plan.

SAVANNA CITY COUNCIL

Pay bump for interim chief Council told there are 2 internal candidates for police chief post

BY MICHAEL MILLER For Prairie Advocate

SAVANNA – Kevin Dimmick was given a pay raise to be the city’s interim police chief while the city officials decide who will be in the position permanently.

The Savanna City Council on June 13 approved increasing Dimmick’s pay by 10 percent, to $25.96 an hour, because of increased duties and responsibiities and seniority.

Michael Moon, who had been the city’s police chief for 16 years, resigned to join the Morrison Police Department. His last day with the Savanna department was June 9.

Dimmick, a lieutenant, has been with the department for 26 years. He told the council last month he would be interested in being chief full-time.

Personel Committee member Jeff Griswold said there are two candidates in the department who will be reviewed. The application deadline is Friday, and a review is scheduled for June 28.

Griswold said Mayor Chris Lain would like a recommendation from the committee, which he will consider when making his appointment.

Bike trail bridge repair bids rejected

The council, at the recommendation of Public Works Superintendent John Lindeman, unanimously rejected the two bids a $7,600 bid for roofing the county animal control facility.

• The board approved appointing Reibel, Jan Schmidecamp, Michael Yuswak, and Dr. Daniel Woods to the Board of Health, and appointed

The Savanna City Council during its June 13 meeting also approved: • A letter of resignation from the Planning and Zoning Board from Roger Husband. He is unable to be both an alderman and a member of the committee. He was replaced by Sharon Gatszke Eckstein, who was appointed to a term exiring April 25, 2019.

• An intersection solicitor’s license for the fire department, at the intersection of state Routes 84 and 64 on July 15 and 16.

• A resolution for a temporary road closure of state Route 84 from Division to Chicago Avenue between 6 and 7 p.m. July 5 for the Independence Day parade. submitted for work to repair bike trail bridges. Both bids were far higher than the engineer’s estimate, Lindeman said.

He recommended working with the engineer to discover why the bids and estimates were so far out of synch. Lindeman said there is no immediate need for repair.

“The bridge is not in any danger of imminent collapse,” he said. “The only thing that could happen is that more of the stringer could bulge or bust through the next winter season.”

Wastewater treatment plant update

Lindeman said much of the necessary equipment for the new wastewater treatment plant has arrived, so things like electrical panels and sludge press equipment are being installed. Piping is being finished on the aeromods, and work is progressing on Dennis Bowman to replace John Huggins on the Blackhawk Hills Regional Council.

The next board meeting is scheduled for 9:30 a.m. July 6 in the small courtroom of the County Courthouse.

the lift station behind the fire department.

Lindeman told the council rising river water will actually aid in the curing of the concrete at the lift station.

Health insurance cost increase approved

Mayor Lain said that the city had budgeted a 10 percent increase in the cost for the city employees’ health insurance, but a 21 percent increase was being charged.

Griswold said he thought in the past there was a discussion on a contignecy fund that might cover any out-of-budget costs.

“We have to take care of our employees, that’s the bottom line,” Alderman Sarah DeSpain Purdom said.

“We could have done something to save the city a couple of bucks, and then our employees wouldn’t have been able to afford to go to the doctor,” Lain said.

“That’s where we would

have been. … To me, that’s a really poor way of doing business.”

Husband asked if that meant an increase of about $1,000 per employee, and Lindeman said that was close.

Purdom made a motion to continue to provide the current health insurance, seconded by Sanchez, and the council unanimously approved.

TIF approval

TIF Committee Chairman Pat Sanchez told the council that Sharon Pepin of Community Funding and Planning Services was awaiting the redevelopment agreement and closing statement receipt from Riverside Dental, LLC, but that everything was “on track” with this request for reimbursement.

Hotel/Motel Committee Chairman Samantha Ritchie reported that the committee had accepted the resignation of Hotel/ Motel consultant Tony McCombie, and would be advertising for a new one.

Alderman Roger Husband registered his frustration with being asked to approve minutes without being given sufficient amount of time to read them. “I see things that have kind of slipped past me that if I’d had the opportunity to read the minutes, I might have had the ability to raise an informed question.”

MOUNT CARROLL CITY COUNCIL

IN BRIEF

New part-time officer, pipeline movement OK’d

Gypsy moth spraying to start again today

Prairie Advocate staff

MOUNT CARROLL – Residents will soon see a new face in Mount Carroll police cars.

Aldermen voted at the City Council’s June 13 meeting to hire Blake Klosa Jr., 23, of Freeport, as a parttime police officer. The position will not cost the city additional money, since Klosa will be filling in on shifts for other policemen.

“His background check was good. He’s ridden a couple times to get the feel of the town, and he’ll have on-the-job training,” Police Chief Fred Cass told the council.

Klosa is certified as a fulltime officer, and Cass knew Klosa’s father years ago in Freeport.

“We’ve been trying to fill a fourth part-time position with

In other action, the board voted to approve a relocation agreement with NICOR for relocation of a gas line at the site of the new Galena Street Bridge project, for about $6,000.

Completion of the new bridge project is expected in December.

SPRINGFIELD – Weather permitting, Phase 2 of scheduled spraying for gypsy moths will begin today in seven northwestern Illinois counties, Carroll, Jo Daviess, and Stephenson among them.

A helicopter or airplane will apply a pheromone product designed to confuse male gypsy moths and prevent them from breeding.

The material does not affect other insects, mammals, or the environment.

Area sites where treatment is planned, by county and estimated treatment acres, include: • Carroll: Loran 1, 400.

• Jo Daviess: Hanover 1, 7,600.

• Stephenson: Freeport West 1.

Visit agr.state.il.us for maps of the treatment areas.

The gypsy moth is a non-native pest that will eat more than 250 species of plants. Most of the male moths have a 1.5-inch wingspan and are brown with black markings. Female gypsy moths are slightly larger, typically white or cream-colored, and cannot fly because of the weight of their eggs.

Eight counties in Illinois are under quarantine because of gypsy moth presence – Cook, DuPage, Kane, Kendall, Lake, LaSalle, McHenry, and Will. All nursery and lumber products must be inspected and certified before being taken out of the eight counties.

Visit facebook.com/ GypsyMothIllinois for updates on treatment timing and impact of the weather. Call the Department of Agriculture’s DeKalb field office at 815-787-5476 for more information.

It was once stated to me that to be part of a a small town you need at least one person buried in the towns cemetery. I learned that not to be true.

Headway with a massive WallCloud traveling westbound on a Illinois state highway near Lanark, IL. White knuckles clenched the steering wheel, while enduring the deafening vibration sound of hail, that can only be described like crashing, shattering glass off the windshield and multiplying hail pellets sounding like bullets piercing through sheet metal adding to the rapidly growing sound of tapping and popping like loose gravel rattling angrily down from the sky, as it culminates into what only can be described as like the sound of a sledge hammer smashing down on the top of my vehicles roof, and the howling, whistling, eerie sound of the wind whipping wildly. The only thought that comes to mind is to pray as the feeling of being held captive wrestles with the blaring tornado sirens, then it’s over!

Glory in the creation that surrounds us.

I moved to Lanark on Monday, August 4, 2008. That Monday a torrential thunderstorm moved through the area causing devastation throughout the town. Living in a small town causes you to be generally optimistic of the intentions of others. People coming together, neighbor helping neighbor. Always a smile, always a wave, always a hello.

It was here that I learned the true meaning and importance of small business and product diversity from the interests and the needs of local consumers and customers.

Living in a small town you really see how easy it is to become excited about simple happiness. Like a new business coming into town or being part of a community event or some other dynamic unfolding into prosperity. Being in the local paper made you an instant celebrity. A special appreciation for the moments that are made simple and easy bringing countless smiles and backyard BBQs. School events, school sports, where you grew to understand the true definition of loyalty.

After small town living, you will always have home in your heart. Most importantly some lessons that small town living teaches is the notion of home and a sense of belonging.

Life is a thunderstorm, a whirlwind of changes, heartbreaks, and opportunities come and go, but there is something truly beautiful about knowing that you always have somewhere to call home.

Here’s How It Works: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes.

The dictionary defines volunteer as: A person who does something by free choice usually with no payment expected or given.

I feel that is too simplistic of a definition.

I feel that a volunteer should be defined as: A local hero who puts others above and before themselves, a selfless individual who tirelessly works to make the world around them better.

As a nonprofit organization, the volunteers for Carroll, Lee, Ogle CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocates)

exemplify my definition every day. These individuals work hard to be a voice for neglected and abused children who have been placed into care. That voice becomes the one constant these children have while their worlds are turned upside down.

Please consider becoming a volunteer for CASA. After a short training period, you will be assigned a case in which you will monitor a child, becoming the eyes and ears for the presiding judge so they have a clear picture of what is going on in that child’s life as it pertains to the court case.

Check us out: There is a lot of good information on our website, casaleecarroll. com as well as our Facebook page CASACarroll Lee Ogle. Thank you.
