Quinn checks in Announces $1M grant for Whiteside health department BY CHRISTI WARREN

ROCK FALLS â€“ A chorus of applause erupted inside the Whiteside County Health Departmentâ€™s Rock Falls clinic Thursday evening as Gov. Pat Quinn, standing beside county leaders, announced that the department would receive a $1 million grant. Whiteside County Public Health Administrator Beth Fiorini applied for the grant in July. It will be used to fund construction of a 5,000-square-foot building at the clinic, where a large parking lot in the back now is. Fiorini hopes to break ground in the spring, with the building being completed around November 2015. The grant is part of the Community Health Center Construction Act, passed by Quinn in 2009, which provides funds to repair outdated buildings, build new facilities, and purchase new equipment for health clinics. â€œI think this is an investment that is going to pay great dividends in health care, especially in behavioral health

care,â€? Quinn said. â€œWe want to make sure we cover every aspect of health care â€“ physical, mental, you name it. â€œWeâ€™ve added in our state, in 1 year, 711,000 people now have health care coverage under the (federal) Affordable Care Act, but we have to have places to provide that, you know? And thatâ€™s what this is all about.â€? The health department services 13,000 people in Whiteside County, Fiorini said. And that number has grown recently, especially with the passage of the Affordable Care Act. The new facility will help ease overcrowding in the current clinic, and will allow the department to increase behavioral health services. Whiteside County Stateâ€™s Attorney Trish Joyce, Sterling Mayor Skip Lee, Rock Falls Mayor Bill Wescott, Whiteside County Board Chairman Jim Duffy, and Whiteside County Health Department staffers were among the many people who watched Quinn make the announcement. â€œI think itâ€™s interesting to note that the need for behavioral health has been growing astronomically throughout our nation,â€? Duffy said. â€œOur clinic here has grown 200 percent since we first opened it in 2006, and in 2013 we provided 8,500 behavioral health visits

Whiteside County Public Health Administrator Beth Fiorini thanks Gov. Pat Quinn after the department was awarded a $1 million state grant to expand the facility. Quinn announced the grant Thursday afternoon at the Whiteside County Health Department clinic in Rock Falls. The money will be used to fund construction of a 5,000-square-foot building at the clinic. to 1,668 patients. ... The new building will facilitate the increased behavioral health services for our patients.â€? â€œI am thrilled,â€? Fiorini said. â€œItâ€™s going to be great, because right now my psychiatrist comes and sits in an office with social workers. He doesnâ€™t even have his

own office. â€œWe can have more rooms; we can do more visits; and we can also spread out some of the other things. I have six people crammed in an office for billing and coding right now. Itâ€™s going to be wonderful.â€?

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

DIXON | HABITAT FOR HUMANITY

‘That’s what he lives for ... to help others’ Dixon man, 90, wins state recognition for service BY ANGEL SIERRA

DIXON – It’s his humanity that makes him such a standout guy. It’s what makes this award so fitting. Dean Butterbaugh, 90, a longtime volunteer with Dixon Habitat for Humanity, is Illinois Habitat Hero of the Year. He was honored Saturday at a conference in Springfield. Butterbaugh was chosen because of his extensive community service record and his significant contribution to the organization, said Chris Gehlbach, board president of Dixon Habitat for Humanity and a fellow volunteer. “He is an inspiration,” said Gehlbach, who retired as a nursing instructor at Sauk Valley Community College. When Dixon Habitat for Humanity built its first home in 1993, Butterbaugh was there. In all, he’s seen the successful delivery of more than 20 homes, all built on the same principle: There are people less fortunate who desperately need them and can use the help. Among many of its objectives, like disaster response, Habitat for Humanity builds houses for people who otherwise could not afford to buy a home. Part of the deal: The new homeowner and family provide a goodly

amount of “sweat equity,” working alongside Habitat’s volunteers. In 2012, more than 160 people worked on an 1,100-square-foot home on Cropsey Avenue. Last year, a home in the southwest area of town was dedicated and now shelters a family of three. Building homes is the only way that Butterbaugh knows how to give back, he said. He has no formal construction schooling: The nonagenarian picked up critical skills growing up on his family’s farm, and on the job by volunteering. “When you’re on the farm, you learn everything,” he said, visibly overcome with emotion. “When I left the farm, I built this house.” With help, Butterbaugh built a rural abode in the Dixon countryside for his family. “That’s what he lives for ... to help others,” said his wife, Darlene. The two met through friends and church, and although there is some debate over how old they were when they married – Darlene said 20, and Dean playfully disagreed – the year was 1946, almost 70 years ago. A stroke Dean suffered at the very end of April shook the Butterbaugh family, but it didn’t stop

him from returning to volunteer work. He showed up to begin work on Habitat’s 22nd home on June 1. The newest home is progressing, and will be unveiled and dedicated in November, just in time for the holidays, Gehlbach said.

Although he appreciates the honor of being chosen for the award, and he is thankful for the opportunity to serve, Butterbaugh said many other people also give their time and talents. It’s with those people he shares his enduring love of volunteering, and

a camaraderie that most spend a lifetime looking for. In the end, though, it all comes back to his innate humanity. “Some people aren’t as lucky as we are, so we have to help those people,” he said.

DIXON

Inmate freed in landmark case Police charge Officials began re-examining conviction after man recanted confession CHICAGO (AP) – A prisoner whose confession helped free a death row inmate in a case that was instrumental to ending capital punishment in Illinois was released Thursday after he recanted, and a prosecutor said there was powerful evidence that the other man was responsible. Alstory Simon’s confession gained international attention in 1999, largely because of an investigation by a journalism professor and a team of students from Northwestern University that helped secure Anthony Porter’s release just days before he was to be executed. He had spent 16 years on death row for slayings he and his supporters maintained he did not commit. Because of constitutional protections against double jeopardy, there is no legal way to retry Porter. Simon, wearing a grey hoodie and jeans, told reporters outside Jacksonville Correctional Center that he was angry. “I’m not angry at the system. I’m angry at the people who did what they did to me,” he said, crying as he told reporters that his mother had died while he was behind bars. Simon was convicted and sentenced to 37 years in prison. But the Cook County State’s Attorney’s Office began re-examining his conviction last year after his attorney presented evidence that he had been threatened with the death penalty and coerced into confessing with promises that he would get an early release and share in the profits from book and movie deals. And, said Cook County State’s Attorney Anita Alvarez, he was tricked by a private inves-

Madison student, 10, with felony BY CHRISTI WARREN

DIXON – A fifth-grade girl who wrote a threat on the wall of a girls bathroom at Madison Elementary School on Tuesday was charged Thursday with felony criminal defacement of property, Dixon police said in a news release Thursday afternoon. Police think the 10-yearold’s threat, which read, “I’m going to kill some teachers,” was a copycat

of a similar threat found on the wall of a girls bathroom at Reagan Middle School on Oct. 20. The writer of that threat, also a seventhgrade girl, was released to her parents; no charges have been announced in that case. A third threat also was found at Reagan Middle School on Wednesday. No one was in custody in that incident.

Alstory Simon (right) hugs supporter Shawn Rech on Thursday while leaving the Jacksonville Correctional Center as a free man. Simon’s confession helped free a death row inmate in a case that was instrumental in the campaign to end capital punishment in Illinois. Anthony Porter had spent 16 years on death row and his supporters maintained he was wrongfully convicted. Simon was convicted and sentenced to 37 years in prison. But the Cook County State’s Attorney’s Office began re-examining Simon’s conviction last year after he recanted his confession, which Simon said he was coerced into making it by a private investigator.

tigator who stormed into his home and showed him a videotape of a man who said he had seen Simon pull the trigger. The man turned out to be an actor. “In the best interest of justice, we could reach no other conclusion but that the investigation of this case has been so deeply corroded and corrupted that we can no longer maintain the legitimacy of this conviction,” Alvarez said. The Porter case helped lead former Gov. George Ryan to declare a moratorium on executions in 2003, and he cleared death row by commuting the death sentences of more than 150 inmates to life in prison. Gov.

Pat Quinn abolished the death penalty in 2011. Alvarez did not say whether she believed Simon is, in fact, innocent, but she said there were so many problems with the case – including what she called a coerced confession and the deaths of a number of key figures – that it is impossible to determine exactly what happened on the morning of Aug. 15, 1982, when two people were shot to death as they sat in a park on Chicago’s South Side. She also said there remains powerful evidence that Porter was the gunman, including several witnesses who still maintain their original statements.

same as the previous year, with 58.7 percent of students in grades 3-8 passing the Illinois Standards Achievement Test under the tougher grading scale adopted in the 2012-2013 school year. Illinois is in the midst of overhauling its standardized testing and school assessments. Schools chief Christopher Koch says that is giving parents a more accurate picture in sizing up schools. And it’s offering administrators and teachers better tools for finding and fixing problems, like the disconnect between the number of students entering college and the number (about 46 percent) who are considered ready for it based on an ACT score of 21 or higher.

CHICAGO (AP) – The yearly report card on Illinois schools released Friday contains a host of new features and benchmarks, including one showing more than 70 percent of recent graduates enrolled in college even though fewer than half of ACT test takers were deemed ready for college coursework. Other new assessment criteria in the state board of education’s report for 2013-2014 included the number of high school freshmen on track to graduate (87.4 percent) as well as rates of teacher retention (about 86 percent) and principal turnover at each school (a statewide average of about two within the past 6 years).

“As I stand here today, I can’t definitely tell you it was Porter who did this or Simon who did this,” she said. Alvarez said the “tactics and antics” of the investigator, Paul Ciolino, and former Northwestern journalism professor David Protess could have added up to criminal charges of obstruction of justice and intimidation of a witness at the time, but that it is now impossible to file charges because the statute of limitations has run out. Protess, who retired from Northwestern in 2011 amid questions about his investigative methods, did not respond to phone calls for comment.

Quinoa: Queen of the grains beyondTRIM

BY SHERRY DEWALT CGH Medical Center

uinoa (pronounced KEEN-wah) has been around for centuries. The ancient Incas considered it a sacred food, and it was a mainstay of their diet. In the United States, we have recently “discovered” quinoa, and I predict that its popularity will continue to grow worldwide. What is quinoa? It’s a pseudo whole grain, technically a seed. It contains protein, healthy fat and fiber, plus tons of vitamins and minerals. Most importantly for those of

us who are trying to eat a more plant-based diet, the protein contained in quinoa qualifies as a “complete” protein. Complete means it contains all of the essential amino acids important for human dietary needs.

Another advantage of quinoa is that it thrives in harsh environments and poor conditions and can even grow well in soils with high salt content. Much of it is grown in South America in high, arid plains. Because of its nutritional profile and adaptability to extreme conditions, many food experts believe quinoa could be part of the answer to feeding the world’s hungry. Researchers in the United States are busy developing strains of quinoa to be grown here and abroad. Quinoa has a naturally

occurring coating that can taste bitter to some people. You might wish to rinse it thoroughly and even scrub the quinoa in a fine wire mesh strainer before cooking, but I have cooked it without the rinsing, and I don’t mind the results. Quinoa is available in local grocery stores. Look in the organic foods section or near the rice. I’ve served it as a side dish and used it in savory dishes, filling for quiche, and in soups like quinoa chili. Recently, I came across some recipes that are on the sweeter side and make excellent breakfast choic-

Get house ready for winter BY ALAN J. HEAVENS MCT News Service

Someone suggested that I write the annual gettingready-for-winter column early this year because the last time I did, we had a mild one. There’s so much to say about winter preparation that it will likely take more than one column, so we’ll start with something from

last season that still brings nightmares to many. I’m referring to the ice storm of early February that interrupted electrical service to huge swaths of Philadelphia’s western and northern suburbs for days. Let’s talk here about how to prevent pipes from freezing and then bursting as the temperature rises. One of my experts said at

the time that while more energy-efficient construction reduces the chance of frozen pipes in newer homes, there are no guarantees. What you need to do now is locate the water lines that are running along exterior walls or in places where cold air may penetrate, and then do something to protect them.

One way is to insulate the pipes using foam rubber that you can pick up at the hardware store or home center. Make sure you know the diameter of your pipes beforehand, so you don’t waste time and effort. Just slip the insulation over the pipe, peel the backing strips, then seal it by pressing the adhesive surfaces together.

I use the non-self-stick variety (which is less expensive), fit it around the pipes, and close it up with duct tape. For added protection, I slip in a half-inch-thick piece of rigid insulation between the pipe and the block basement wall. To reduce cold-air intrusion, seal any gaps around the house where cold air

did. McConnell said that a lot of them had taken advantage of the opportunity to have someone to talk to in the wake of the tragic deaths. “We’re so small,” McConnell said. “I mean, our classes are 50 kids, so you have a class of maybe 10 kids in an English class, and so when two of them are not there, it’s a little different.” An official cause of the accident has not been determined.

STERLING – The Sterling Theater has a liquor license again for the first time since Skip Huston and Theater Management Group left town in June. Beer was delivered to the brew and view Thursday, but wine won’t be in stock until next weekend’s showings. When Huston’s ownership group and the city parted ways, the theater was faced with the unenviable task of basically starting the business operations process from scratch, while trying to keep the doors open. The theater had to take care of the incorporation paperwork, get insurance, and apply for licensing from all of the movie studios before it could regain its liquor license. The license came just in time for the Halloween night showing of “The Rocky Horror Picture Show.” The audience participation classic, in which moviegoers dress up as characters from the musical comedy horror film, has been a cult favorite since 1976. It’s not for kids, though – you must be 18 to attend. Krista Morthland, the theater’s director of events and promotions, said today is a turning point for the theater. “It’s great that this is a brew and view again,” Morthland said, “and we’re hoping ‘Rocky Horror Picture Show’ is wellreceived and will become an annual event.” Greater Sterling Development Corp. bought the theater in December 2012, but the city has said it hopes to find another buyer. The city had spoken with Tim O’Brien, former general manager of the theater, about buying it, but O’Brien informed the city on Oct. 9 that he was resigning to pursue other business interests. Mayor Skip Lee said the city hadn’t been actively seeking a new buyer for the theater. “Our main goal has been to keep it running and get it established in the community,” Lee said. “We plan to market the theater, but we’re just not there yet.” Rob Hutcherson, who had been a projectionist at the theater, is the new general manager. The California native has 30 years of experience in all facets of theater operations. He said he believes in the city’s plans to make the brew and view a true community theater. “I think this place can go far,” he said. “I want to involve the community, and have them tell me what they want.” Morthland said she and Hutcherson plan to have several events – all with the same objective. “Our goal is getting the community involved again,” she said. “I’m from Rock Falls, and I remember coming here as a kid. Judging by our feedback, many other people have those same childhood memories and are happy to see us taking advantage of this beautiful place.” Some things to look for include classic holiday movies to coincide with Sights and Sounds, the city’s official holiday events kickoff; special birthday packages for children; an ugly sweater party; and more pajama and pizza parties for the kids.

ERIE – Two days after two Erie High School students died in a rollover crash, school was back in session Monday, and staffers tried to keep things as normal as possible. But it’s not that easy in a community as small as Erie, at a high school with just more than 200 students, Principal Tim McConnell said. Sophomores Samantha Stablein and

They brought in eight to 10 grief counselors, and several local pastors and ministers were at the high school, too, to provide support for any student who needed it. And, it sounded as if many students

Ashley Wunderlich died Saturday night when the car Wunderlich was driving flipped and caught fire after landing in a drainage ditch on Sand Road, north of Cordova Road outside Erie. “They were just regular, great high school girls,” McConnell said. “They had a great group of friends and were very involved in coming to events.” McConnell, district Superintendent Brad Cox, other administrators, and counselors met all day Sunday to devel-
