August 18, 2015 DIXON | TOURISM

‘You can feel the real America here’

BY BRENDEN WEST

DIXON – Tourism – locally and statewide – is on the rise.

There’s a trickle effect to that, says Illinois Director of Tourism Cory Jobe.

Jobe, who visited the area Thursday, ahead of that night’s Blackhawk Waterways Convention and Visitors Bureau’s annual dinner in Oregon, said the rise in visitors will reflect an improved quality of life locally.

Last month, the CVB reported 2014 regional tourism-related expenditures were $159.7 million, up 6.6 percent from 2013. That contributed to the $36.3 billion garnered statewide, a 3.5 percent increase over the same span.

“Tourism really touches a lot of lives in the community,” Jobe said during a tour through Dixon with CVB Director Diane

Bausman, during which they visited the riverfront, Ronald Reagan Boyhood Home and other unique aspects of the city.

“You can feel the real America here,” Jobe said.

“It has such a different face all across the state.

We really do have a lot of things [in Illinois] to offer a visitor.”

Tourism expenditures are measured by dollars spent by travelers on lodging, food, transportation, retail and entertainment. Statistics from the Illinois Office of Tourism show those expenditures resulted in a 4.93 percent increase in the now $25.34 million local tourism-related payroll, supporting more than 1,000 local jobs in Carroll, Lee, Ogle and Whiteside counties.

Tax receipts also rose in the region – 9 percent in state travel spending taxes and 5.76 percent in

local taxes.

The key to all of these successes, Jobe said, was encouraging collaboration between multiple agencies. He used Blackhawk Waterways as an example: The four counties on their own are “strong,” but combined they possess even greater power.

“Communities that are standing on their own have a punch, but not as much of a punch,” Jobe said. “The collaborative efforts are critical, especially when we’re in an age where resources are tight.”

Bausman said local collaboration is one reason why Blackhawk Waterways has excelled.

“Our main goal is to attract more and more people to our region,” she said. “Everything we do is collaboration. We promote our region as a destination. We want

Statistically, the regional tourism boost exceeds the growth in the state. But Jobe said all parts of Illinois are seeing a benefit from

tourism dollars.

The approach of the visitor has changed.

Jobe said travelers want to see America, not Disney World. He is familiar with the progress made in Dixon and other local communities, and he looks forward to seeing the quality of life

improvements that will result from the local adherence to sound tourism practices.

“People want to come explore, touch, feel, experience the real America,” Jobe said.

“Where else better than the state of Illinois?”

ROCK FALLS | RECREATION AND EDUCATION

Happy ending this fall?

Planners hope to launch Storybook Trail before leaves turn

BY PAM EGGEMEIER

ROCK FALLS – The Storybook Trail project is running behind schedule, but organizers still hold out hope it can be finished this fall.

Mary Nelson, a Whiteside County Extension program coordinator, has been working on the project with city building inspector Mark Searing.

The trail would extend from Avenue D near Linville Crossing to McNeil Road. Books with nature themes will be chosen, and different pages will be found at each post.

Activities related to each book will be planned.

Nelson answered members’ questions at Thursday’s meeting of the Hennepin Canal/Trails Committee.

Searing said it was hoped the project could be completed in August – in time for the beginning of a new school year. Two Eagle Scouts are working

on the project, however, and they have been busy this summer.

“I’d like to see it up in September, then we could invite the kids out for an open house,” Nelson said.

Scoutmaster John Larson, also a committee member, said he was disappointed with the delays, but the project still could be finished in September.

“I don’t think it will take long,” Larson said. “All they have to do is drill some holes, and put up the poles. I already have some of the materials from other projects.”

Nelson has the first story ready, the 32-page “Pocket of Prairie”. She said all of the stories will be based on nature, and will be best suited for ages 5 to 8. The first book will include a rainbow palette painting activity.

“Our objective is to get them to read and teach them about nature,” Nel-

The Eagle Scouts working on the Storybook Trail project have been inundated this summer and slipped behind schedule on the trail project, but planners are hopeful for a fall launch. son said. “We also want to do 32 pages consistently, so we can keep their attention the whole way.”

The city also will have some work to do to accommodate the busloads of students who could be using the halfmile trail.

“We have to work out several logistical things – parking, signage, Port-aPotties, maybe a kiosk,” Mayor Bill Wescott said.

Nelson suggested the city consider keeping the books up year round.

“There are so many good stories and activities for winter, it would

be a shame to close it down then.”

Wescott suggested educational packets be sent out and posted online to help teachers develop lesson plans prior to the visits.

If the project isn’t completed this fall, it won’t be launched until spring.

“We want the prairie growing and visible when it starts, so we’d probably wait until spring if it isn’t ready in early October,” he said.

Searing said, when finished, Rock Falls will have the first permanent Storybook Trail in Illinois.

IN BRIEF Mosquitoes test positive for West Nile in Lee County AMBOY – Mosquitoes in the Amboy/Woodhaven area have tested positive for West Nile, and confirm the continued presence of the virus in the area, the Lee County Health Department said in a news release Thursday.

Mosquitoes collected recently in northwest Sterling also tested positive for the virus.

The news should not cause alarm, the release noted, but should serve as a reminder to be cautious when outdoors.

West Nile virus can be transmitted to humans by infected mosquitoes that have picked up the virus from a bird. August and September are usually when the threat of the virus reaches its peak; it can hang around until the first frost, the release said.

Symptoms include headache, fatigue, skin rash,

and sometimes swollen lymph glands or eye pain.

To reduce risk of contracting the virus, make sure doors and windows have tight-fitting screens, eliminate sources of standing water where mosquitoes breed, use insect repellent, and wear clothing that covers the skin, the department said.

Most people with the virus show no symptoms, but some may become ill three to 14 days after being bitten.

STERLING

The park district that Duis built First parks director, youth sports innovator, dies at 87

BY PAM EGGEMEIER

STERLING – Frank “Moe� Duis, 87, the city’s first parks director, died Wednesday at CGH Medical Center.

When Duis took the helm at Sterling Park District, there were no facilities, only land. Now the park district’s most recognizable building bears his name – a tribute to the growth of the system during his nearly 40 years there, 23 as its leader.

Duis actually holds the distinction of being both the first part- and fulltime director. A teacher and track coach at Challand Middle School, he also ran recreational programs for the park district during the summers. In 1965, the park district board made him the fulltime director, the first of only three in the organization’s history. “He had an unbelievable work ethic, and he was still teaching when he was a part-time director,� said Pete Dillon, a longtime friend and colleague. “As the scope of

the job grew, he finally quit teaching and worked full time as parks director.�

Dillon worked with Duis on many parks projects over the years, but a rather unusual task brought them together for the first time. Duis brought many athletes to town for track events, and accommodations for the visits became increasingly difficult. “We had a bunch of mattresses in Pullman cars at Northwestern Steel and Wire Co., and we were scrapping out some of the cars,� Dillon said. “I got permission from my grandfather to salvage the mattresses, and we moved them to the fieldhouse and the gym at Newman for the athletes to sleep on.�

Many collaborations were to follow over the years, and the park district was oftentimes the beneficiary. “Frank was very aggressive as director, and one of his first land acquisitions was Sinnissippi Park,� Dillon said.

He also played a key role in the development of the Oppold Marina, but Dillon considers the building that bears his name the most important accomplishment of the Duis years. In 1968, the property was purchased, and the facility then known as the Sterling Park District Recreational Center was dedicated April 6, 1970. “I remember when it was being built, he wanted it as close to the high school as possible so they could use the pool,� Dillon said.

Dillon said Duis was always working to improve the youth sports experience in Sterling. “He played a big role in acquiring the old Newman football field where the junior tackle games are played,� Dillon said. “He was a tremendous track coach, who was very dedicated to the kids.�

Dillon said Duis had many traits that allowed him to do his job at a high level. “He was outgoing, and seemed to always know

The year he retired, the Sterling Park District Recreational Center was renamed the Frank R. Duis Recreational Center.

During his years as director, the park district received national recognition. Sterling was the only city with fewer than 20,000 residents to twice win the National Gold Medal Award for Excellence from the National Parks and Recreation Association. Sterling won the prestigious award in 1977 and 1984.

Personally, Duis won the Robert Artz Distinguished Service Award, given by the Illinois Park and Recreation Association to its professional of the year.

His involvement in youth sports continued throughout his lifetime.

He twice served as chairman of the Illinois Junior Sports Jamboree track meet. He also served on the Sterling High School Hall of Fame Board for 10 years.

DIXON PARKS

Estimated statue cost sees uptick Board still mulling whether to ‘parent’ fundraising campaign

BY BRENDEN WEST

DIXON – The estimated cost of the proposed Ronald Reagan lifeguard statue at Lowell Park has grown.

For 2 years, former Mayor Jim Burke has been on an eight-person committee that includes Ron Pritchard, chairman of the Dixon Park District Board. The committee (formerly a branch of Dixon Tourism and the city) paid for a rendering of what a statue could look like, with original cost estimates pegging the project at $200,000, according to Pritchard.

Burke presented recent findings during Wednesday’s park board meeting. The latest estimate brings the project cost

to $300,000, including $15,000 for maintenance and $20,000 for contingency. This budget also includes pricing for landscaping and a visual exhibit, though $200,000 worth of the project would go to the 10-foot-tall hollow bronze statue of young Reagan.

Burke said all funds would be raised privately.

But the question facing the board is whether to let the statue committee funnel money through the park district’s budget.

Pritchard has consulted the district’s attorney about the legality. “He didn’t find anything illegal,� he said, “but he wondered about the appropriateness.�

Burke passed out an email from Grand Prairie,

Texas, native Kevin Dopp – a recent Lowell Park visitor who believes more can be done to commemorate Reagan. Dopp said there was no indica Dopp said there was no indication within Lowell Park “that this park was any different historically than any other riverside park.�

Committee members – including Pritchard – called the statue a “potential catalyst� for park visits. Citing other Reagan commemorations in other communities, they said a statue dedication could increase exposure to Dixon.

Board member Ben Nagy questioned what potential legal liabilities the district could expose itself to, should it allow

the committee to channel funds through a public budget. “That could concern me,â€? Nagy said. “It could raise some eyebrows [from the IRS]. ‌ Our name is essentially on every [donated] check.â€?

Board member Shane Miller said he was “all for the statue,� but added that estimates might not reflect the cost to secure and maintain the statue.

He said the Reagan riverfront statue requires regular upkeep, and cautioned that the board might be absorbing another annual cost. “I think what’s going to happen down the road is we’re going to be stuck maintaining it, and it’s going to be costing some money,� Miller said.

An eye exam is a good idea, especially if things are starting to look a little fuzzy around the edges.

LAW ENFORCEMENT

Illinois at the forefront of police accountability CHICAGO (AP) – Illinois has become one of the first states nationwide to establish wide-ranging law enforcement rules for body cameras, biasfree policing, and more data collection on arrests under a measure signed into law Wednesday by Gov. Bruce Rauner.

The plan beefs up reporting guidelines for officers making pedestrian stops and arrests, largely prohibits chokeholds, and adds guidelines for training to help officers become aware of bias and cultural competency.

The new law doesn’t mandate body cameras, but does specify how they should be worn, when

they have to be turned on, and how long recorded videos should be kept. Illinois would help departments pay for the cameras and training for officers with grants funded by a $5 increase in traffic tickets. “We are taking steps to strengthen the relationship between our law enforcement officers and the public they protect,� Rauner said in a statement. “It will have a lasting and positive impact on the people of Illinois.�

Dozens of U.S. states have passed police reform measures in the wake of two fatal police encounters last year: the shooting death of an unarmed black 18-year-old by a white officer in Ferguson, Missouri,

and the death of a black man in New York who died after being placed in a white officer’s chokehold.

But only three states – Illinois, Colorado and Connecticut – have approved comprehensive plans, according to a recent Associated Press analysis.

State Sen. Kwame Raoul, a Chicago Democrat, was one of the bill sponsors. “Illinois has set the standard, and it has set the standard nationally,� he said at a news conference in Springfield.

The law, which fully takes effect in January 2016, also calls for independent reviews of all police-involved deaths.

Fry, oh fry Fried green tomato sliders set new standard in SVM reporter’s kitchen Photo by Christi Warren

Sauk Valley Media’s very own Christi Warren says these fried green tomato sliders with goat cheese, basil, and a roasted red pepper vinaigrette are the best thing she’s ever made. Like, ever ever.

BY CHRISTI WARREN

Hello, friendly readers.

I’m here to tell you about the best thing I’ve ever made, ever. Like, ever ever.

As the above headline would suggest, that thing is fried green tomato sliders with goat cheese, basil, and a roasted red pepper vinaigrette.

My goodness, folks. My. Goodness.

So, this recipe obviously requires green tomatoes, which, depending on how much sun your garden receives, you might have an annoying abundance of right now.

Or, you might have an annoying abundance of them come almost-fall, when it’s not actually hot enough to ripen your tomatoes all the way.

Here’s how to use ’em in the best way possible.

Incidentally, it’s also a really easy recipe that seems much more gourmet/complicated/inventive than it really is.

Impress friends with barbecued shrimp at party

BY SUSAN SELASKY Tribune News Service

Shrimp is terrific grilled as a main dish or an appetizer. The challenge with shrimp on the grill is it’s fragile and cooks quickly. If you overcook shrimp, it becomes tough and chewy. The key is marinating or brining the shrimp and using no more than a medium heat. You can also brush the shrimp with a sauce while they are on the grill to keep them from drying out. And, once you

put them on the grill, don’t even think of walking away. Shrimp cooks quickly and you need to pay attention.

Whenever I cook shrimp (grill, roast, or steam), I brine them first, which plumps them up and keeps them moist during cooking. For about 2 pounds of shrimp, in a large pot, dissolve ½cup of kosher salt and ½ cup of sugar in 1 gallon of water.

Add the shrimp and refrigerate. Let them soak 1½ to 2 hours, no longer or you risk them becoming too FREE LOCAL ESTIMATES WITH THIS AD!

tomato = one slider.)

2 eggs ½ cup milk 1 cup flour ½ cup bread crumbs (I used panko.) ½ cup corn meal Salt and pepper Basil Goat cheese Slider buns of your choice (I used mini focaccia rolls.)

Combine the milk and eggs in a bowl with high sides. Whisk to combine.

Put flour in another bowl, and combine bread crumbs with corn meal and a few pinches of salt and pepper in yet another bowl.

Cut tomatoes into ½-inch slices.

Take a tomato slice, coat well in flour, then dunk into the milk-and-egg mixture, making sure it covers all of your flour-coated tomato slice; then, finally, put it into the bread crumb/corn meal mixture, and coat again. Repeat.

While you’re doing this, fill a high-walled pan with about ½ inch of vegetable (or other similar) oil over medium-high heat.

Once the oil is hot, drop in a few tomato slices at a time. After a few minutes of sizzling, flip the tomatoes. Remove once they’re golden brown, and

salty. Remove them from the brine and give them a quick rinse under cold water. This removes any surface salt.

The best way to grill shrimp is to thread them on two wooden skewers or position two shrimp together.

Using the two skewers helps you turn them all at once and cook evenly.

When grilling shrimp without skewers, leave on the shells to protect them on the grill but devein them.

To devein shrimp, cut a slit on the backside to the tail with small scissors and remove the vein.

That slit also makes it easier to peel them once they are done.

Serve these shrimp as an appetizer or main dish, served over a mixed greens salad or with grilled vegetables.

Day care renews lease at Lincoln Open Sesame pays $12K for another year in idle school

DIXON – Open Sesame Children’s Learning Center will hold after-school and summer programs at the closed Lincoln School for another year.

The Dixon School Board on Wednesday approved a 1-year, $12,000 lease with the nonprofit center, based at 1101 Middle Road, which also rented the building last year but has since been looking for a larger space.

“They use the gym on occasion, and they use the old cafeteria downstairs for lunch,” said Dave Blackburn, the district’s business manager.

“The playground and baseball field worked out well for them. They are using a little less than half of the building.”

The district closed Lincoln at the end of the 2013-14 school year to save money.

No one hurt, dog saved from Tuesday blaze

BY VINDE WELLS

OREGON – The cause of a fire Tuesday night that destroyed the garage in which it started and damaged two homes is under investigation, but is thought to be accidental, fire officials said Wednesday.

No one was injured in the fire, which started just before 10 p.m. at 606 Timberlane, on the city’s north side.

“When I got here, the garage was fully engulfed,” said Randy Travis, assistant fire chief with the Oregon department. “The flames were so intense that they spread to the house and then to the house on the

Homeowner Ann Glaser smelled smoke, “but a lot of people in the neighborhood burn, so I didn’t think too much about it at first,” she said.

Her neighbor, Robin Minnis, rescued her dog from the house.

The state fire marshal was on scene Wednesday afternoon.

Mount Morris, Polo, Byron, Stillman Valley, and Franklin Grove fire departments also responded to the scene.

OREGON – The Oregon Fire Department’s ambulance is repaired, outfitted, licensed, and in service.

“We are officially up and running as of Aug. 1,” Chief Al Greene said.

The ambulance was donated to the district last summer by Jim and Betty Ferris, who closed Oregon Ambulance Service Inc., a privately owned nonprofit corpo-

The ambulance needed repairs and updates, then had to be licensed by the Illinois Department of Public Health and approved by Medicare and Medicaid for billing purposes, Greene said, both lengthy and complicated processes, Greene said.

For the first 2 weeks after Oregon Ambulance closed, calls were answered by neighboring fire departments.

LOWER LABOR RATES ON ALL SERVICE CALLS

The fire district hired ATS Medical Services of Loves Park that July 1; it has provided an ambulance and emergency medical technicians since.

Now that the fire department has its own ambulance, ATS will provide EMTs only, Greene said.

Voters approved a referendum in April to establish a tax-supported ambulance service through the fire district.
