One leg of the 1,600-mile tour brought 3,000 drivers of classic muscle cars, highend sports cars and custom hot rods through the Sauk Valley on state Route 2. The tour started in Charlotte, North Carolina, and will end in Wisconsin Dells, Wisconsin.

TWO-VEHICLE ACCIDENT SENDS TWO TO HOSPITAL

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;They are a blessing to meâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Woman turns in foster care license after 20 years

BY KATIE DAHLSTROM

SHABONNA â&#x20AC;&#x201C; People tell Rebeccah Cies sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a blessing to the three foster children she adopted.

In her eyes, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the opposite. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They are a blessing to me,â&#x20AC;? Cies said.

After 20 years, more than 50 foster kids and three adoptions, Cies turned in her foster care license. She plans to focus on the three children she has permanently welcomed into her home, while also being there for her three biological children.

State officials need more people like her.

More than 15,000 children are in foster care across the state every year, reports the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services.

Of those cases, 86 children are in foster care in DeKalb County in 69 licensed foster care homes, said DCFS deputy spokeswoman Veronica Resa. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We definitely need more foster parents,â&#x20AC;?

Resa said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We need more bilingual foster parents. We need more foster parents in the places where these kids are from.â&#x20AC;?

Becoming a licensed foster parent in Illinois requires all members of the home pass a criminal background check.

License holders also must complete 27 hours of training, a physical and be financially stable.

Being married isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a prerequisite for becoming a foster or adoptive parent, but perseverance is. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We hear from foster parents that it can be challenging and rewarding,â&#x20AC;? Resa said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Children are challenges, no matter what the circumstances.â&#x20AC;?

Deciding to foster Seeing an aunt and uncle adopt 10 children and realizing the terrible conditions some children face inspired Cies, 50, of Shabonna, to foster children. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have always loved kids and babies,â&#x20AC;? Cies said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I saw a program on orphans in Romania, and I thought there was

plenty of work to be done here.â&#x20AC;?

In 2008, DCFS called Cies to adopt the first of her three â&#x20AC;&#x153;little ones,â&#x20AC;? as she affectionately calls them. She started fostering all of them within 2 days after they were born, because their biological mother and father were absent from the start, leaving the hospital after every birth. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I knew from the beginning it would end in adoption,â&#x20AC;? Cies said.

Alex T. Paschal/apaschal@saukvalley.com â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was right for me and A victim is put on a gurney at the scene of a two-vehicle accident Thursday afterright for them. It takes noon in Rock Falls. The accident happened at the corner of West Second Street about 5 minutes to fall in and Fourth Avenue. There were two transports. love with a newborn.â&#x20AC;?

Her children, Donovan, 6, Avery, 6, and Anya, 5, all were born with cocaine in their systems, she said. Averyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s condition was so dire, DeKalb firefighters had to support her breathing while she was delivered in an ambulance. Cies learned of Averyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unstable beginning by chance when she performed an insurance physical on the firefighter who was in the ambulance.

Rescuers use the jaws of life to pry open a door on a damaged vehicle Thursday afternoon at the scene of the accident in Rock Falls.

Hog farm ducks harm Farmer is breaking no law, judge rules Koster: Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s old-school farming

BY KATHLEEN A. SCHULTZ

STERLING â&#x20AC;&#x201C; A longtime farmer, who at one point was grazing 2,400 hogs in his field just north of a restaurant and other East Lincolnway businesses, is not violating state regulations, a judge ruled, dismissing a Department of Agriculture complaint against his operation.

The Department of Agricultureâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Bureau of Environmental Programs filed two complaints against Norm Koster, 63, of Dixon.

In its view, Koster was running a livestock management, or feeding facility, or a livestock waste facility, and did not provide notification of intent to construct either, or to

follow construction and set-back rules, as required by the state Livestock Management Facilities Act. Such a violation carries a fine of up to $1,000.

Among other things, the statute defines a feeding operation as a facility where animals are confined and fed for 45 days or more in a 12-month period.

Koster maintained that PEEP Inc., his organic hog, chicken and egg business, is not a feeding operation, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a pasture operation, which is exempt from the act. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s because he regularly moved the hogs from one parcel to another across all 120 acres, allowing them to forage chemical-free and, in turn, fertilize the land.

The departmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s position was the entire acreage was one facility from which the hogs were not moved in the time specified.

Administrative Law Judge Jack L. Price, who presided over a hearing on the matter March 5 in

Springfield, agreed with Koster, and dismissed the two complaints on June 2. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I find that, so long as the swine are moved to new ground every 44 days or less, and are not returned to the same ground for at least 366 days, [Kosterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s] operation is not an animal feeding operation and does not fall under the restrictions of the Livestock Management Facilities Act,â&#x20AC;? Price said in his ruling.

No evidence on the waste management facility complaint was offered, and so it, too, was dismissed.

It has not been determined if the state will pursue the matter further. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The department is still reviewing the judgeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s decision and potential options the department may have under Illinois Administrative Code,â&#x20AC;?

Jeff Squibb, a Department of Agriculture spokesman, said Thurs-

day.

Kosterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 120-acre parcel, which heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s owned for more than 3 decades, abuts city limits on Polo Road, near Applebeeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, Kellyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Market and Mobil and Carmike Sauk Valley 8 Cinema.

In the past, Koster has raised corn and soybeans on the land, but his last crop was a pig-pleasing mixture of wheat, clover and alfalfa. This is the first year he ran hogs on the land; he moved baby pigs there in July and, in April, removed those that had not sold in order to make way for corn planting. He also had some egg-laying chickens on site.

While the pigs were in the field, many people called the city and the Whiteside County Health Department to complain about the odor, the dust, and their proximity to the city. City officials, who have no jurisdiction over ag matters or over the land, which is not in city limits, forwarded resi-

dentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; concerns to the ag department, which filed the complaint.

Koster said Thursday that he might put more hogs on the site next year, although ideally, he would have a 3-year rotation of corn, then soybeans, then the wheatclover-alfalfa mixture and more animals.

His desire is to raise and sell pigs, chickens and

eggs that are chemicalfree, for which demand is growing, he said.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really just oldschool farming, Koster said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing something different, but we doing it the way they used to do it all the time.

I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s better,â&#x20AC;? for the land, and for the people buying his eggs and pork.

About PEEP Inc. PEEP Inc. farms, based in Dixon, raises pigs on commercial fertilizer-free pastures.

They are free of antibiotics and chemicals, and are fed no genetically modified vegetables, owner Norm Koster says on his website. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The farming is done with sustainability which means nurturing our

land, neighbors and animals. This allows us to provide healthy and natural products to our Midwest neighbors,â&#x20AC;? the website reads.

BUREAU COUNTY BOARD I WIND FARM WORRIES

Costs of decommissioning at issue County urged to consider bonds to insulate from liability

BY GOLDIE CURRIE AND DONNA BARKER Shaw News Service

PRINCETON â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Wind farm opponent Ed Gerdes is concerned. If the Big Sky project north of Ohio is decommissioned, how much will it cost to take down the turbines, and where will the money come from? The county? The landowner?

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a topic he and others have been researching for a while.

Tuesday, he brought it up at the county board meeting, as he did the month before. They now have even more questions.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;The people who should be here talking about the decommissioning are landowners, but as you know, they have a confidentiality clause in their lease which doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t allow them to speak publicly,â&#x20AC;? Gerdes said.

Last month, Gerdes shared a study on decommissioning costs that a Virginia-based company did at the request of his group. According to the study, it would cost about $19.4 million to take down the 87 turbines, about $224,000 each. At that rate, the cost to decommission Big Sky could be in the $10 million to $12 million range.

Gerdes said Tuesday that his group has been talking with people who are recommending the county ask for a performance bond that would cover the entire cost of decommissioning.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;The money you have now at best would cover probably 15 to 20 percent,â&#x20AC;? he told the board. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And these companies are [limited liability companies], so if they do fold up, there are no assets to cover the rest of the decommissioning.â&#x20AC;?

Gerdes said his group also learned there are landlords with cellphone towers who arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t getting paid the rent they are owed, but still must pay the property taxes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re assuming the [wind farm] landowners are going to be responsible for the property taxes, and the question is, from the time the turbines are shut down until they are taken down, are landowners going to be responsible if that could be a 2-year period?

â&#x20AC;&#x153;We assumed they will be responsible for the taxes,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Plus probably 85 percent of the cost to take them down.â&#x20AC;?

Gerdes said the turbines must come down. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They are a hazard, and on top of that, who is liable for injures suffered from the time they are shut down to the time they are taken down? The landowners, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m assuming, would again have to have some sort of liability insurance to take care of that,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Gerdes reminded board members that Midwest Energy promised it would take down the project when it was over, then it was bought by Edison Mission, and now itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s owned by Pittsburgh-based EverPower Wind Co. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I really doubt if they will be

here,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Are they going to come up with $10 million to $12 million to take them down, or are they going to walk away and leave you with $1.8 million to take them down yourself? I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think the taxpayers of Bureau County should take them down, and I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think the landowners planned on having to take them down.â&#x20AC;?

Responding to questions from the board, Bureau County Stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Attorney Patrick Herrmann said performance bonds essentially are an insurance policy that is paid for by the company and would not be voided, should the company go into bankruptcy.

Members voted to have Herrmann research the bonds and report back at next monthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s meeting.

The measure could be one of a potential record number of voter initiatives come November. Another calls for term limits and is led by Rauner. Both the redistricting and term limits attempts are the subject of a lawsuit filed by an election lawyer whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s represented top Democrats.

Durkin and Radogno said they supported the term limits measure with Radogno pointing to House Speaker Michael Madigan, who recently became the longest-serving House speaker nationwide.

The Chicago Democrat didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t attend Thursdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s event.

Cullerton disagreed with the term limits proposal.

He said it takes lawmakers time to understand their jobs, and institutional knowledge could be lost. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If we werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t doing our job, we wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be re-elected,â&#x20AC;?

he said, calling the term limit efforts â&#x20AC;&#x153;misguided.â&#x20AC;?

He said one of the important political reform issues should be more scrutiny on fundraising linked to certain types of nonprofit organizations.

Durkin said Illinois should overhaul how it conducts lame-duck sessions when exiting lawmakers are more willing to take difficult or controversial votes, an idea he tried to push during the latest legislative session but didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get any traction. He highlighted how lawmakers approved a 67 percent temporary income tax increase the final moments of a 2011 session. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I would hope that we would at some point realize that this is not the best point to govern,â&#x20AC;? Durkin said.

that largely protected incumbents.

Illinoisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; once-a-decade redistricting process has long faced allegations of gerrymandering. The maps are based on Census data, but lawmakers make them. In 2011, Republicans sued over the congressional map, which judges later determined was a â&#x20AC;&#x153;blatant political moveâ&#x20AC;? to increase Democratic seats. But the map was implemented anyway.

The redistricting ballot initiative in Illinois has hit a snag.

Last month, the group â&#x20AC;&#x153;Yes! for Independent Mapsâ&#x20AC;? submitted more than 500,000 signatures to the State Board of Elections, but an initial review found many invalid signatures. Radogno and House Republican Leader Durkin have asked election officials for an extension to verify signatures.

DAY TRIP

Pitter-patter of little paws heard at zoo Summerfield offers photos with new additions

BY ANDREA MILLS

BELVIDERE â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The word â&#x20AC;&#x153;adorableâ&#x20AC;? fits the litter of wolf pups born at Summerfield Zoo. This weekend, the little ones will be available to have visitorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; photos taken with them.

The photo shoot will be after the animal encounter presentations, which are at 11 a.m., 1 and 3 p.m. Saturday, and noon and 2 p.m. Sunday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are thrilled to announce the birth of a litter of gray wolf pups,â&#x20AC;? Yvette McGreane, zoo volunteer, said in a news release. â&#x20AC;&#x153;While babies are always exciting, these wolf pups are an incredible opportunity to help educate the public about the species. Be sure that you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t miss out on the opportunity to see them and get your picture taken with them.â&#x20AC;?

Other activities at the zoo are pony rides, a petting zoo, bottles for baby goats, a gift shop, and a snack shop.

Summerfield Zoo has been around since 1990. A wide variety of animals awaits explorers who will see wallabies, camels, reindeer, zebra, giant tortoises, foxes, alligators, prairie dogs, and peacocks.

Less-known critters include Pantagonian cavies with rabbit similarities, kinkajous that are like ferrets and monkeys, largespotted genets that are of African origin, and servals, which are African wild cats.

Photo submitted by Summerfield Zoo

Grey wolf pups have been born at Summerfield Zoo in Belvidere. The zoo is open all week except Monday and Tuesdays.

When winter snows blow, and Christmas draws near, the zoo reaches out to the public with the use of its reindeer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Santaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;sâ&#x20AC;? reindeer can be rented for parties and special events.

Elves and handlers go along with them to make sure all runs smoothly. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also possible to arrange for visits by other exotic animals at times other than holidays.

Visitors who plan a trip to the zoo this summer should be aware that road construction

might make the trip interesting.

The Pearl Street Road bridge over Interstate 90 is closed.

Directions are offered on the zooâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s website.

The small zoo might not offer the large array of activities and animals as some of the larger ones, but it specializes in giving visitors a closer look at its residents. And donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t miss the chance to get a photo with the pups. This is the final weekend for pictures.

If you go What: Summerfield Zoo Where: 3088 Flora Road, Belvidere When: 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday; 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday; 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Wednesday through Friday; and closed Monday and Tuesday Cost: $8 for adults, $6 for seniors and $5 for children on Friday, Saturday and Sunday; $5 per person Wednesday and Thursday Information: summerfieldfarmandzoo.com on the web, email summerfieldzoo@aol.com or call 815-547-4852
