St. Marys considers reopening of plant Mayor: Discussions are in early stage BY PAM EGGEMEIER
DIXON – A cement plant that has been idle since December 2008 has approached the city about reopening. About 90 employees lost their jobs when St. Marys ceased operations almost 6 years ago. A few workers have remained to oversee the plant’s use as a distribution terminal. Dixon Mayor Jim Burke said representatives from St. Marys approached him about 5 months ago to discuss restarting manufacturing operations. The talks were in very early stages, so he was surprised to see the company’s recent clas-
sified ad in Sauk Valley Media publications looking for more than 65 workers, he said. “We’re optimistic, and it would be a great thing to have the plant up and running again,” Burke said. “But honestly,” Burke continued, “I saw the ad and thought they might be jumping the gun.” The plant is old and not nearly as efficient as many others owned by the company. St. Marys is part of Votorantim Cimentos, based in Sao Paulo, Brazil. Restarting operations would require a large capital investment, and the company is looking for help. “We’re working with them to see if there are incentives to make it all work,” Burke said. “We would like to get Sen. Dick Durbin involved as we look at state options.” ST. MARYS CONTINUED ON 2

EPA fined St. Marys ST. MARYS
CONTINUED FROM A1
The company had attributed the closing to a deteriorating economy and rising energy costs, but the Environmental Protection Agency also played a role. The EPA fined St. Marys Cement and co-owner St. Barbara Cement $800,000 for violations of the federal Clean Air Act. In addition, the settlement called for the companies to spend nearly $2 million to upgrade pollution control on three of its four kilns. The fourth kiln had to be replaced or shut down. The settlement was the first completed as a result of an EPA crackdown on Portland cement manufacturing facilities. EPA said the companies illegally modified the kilns at the Dixon plant in a manner that increased harm-
ful sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide emissions. In addition to failing to install the proper pollution-control equipment, the companies were cited for failing to get the proper permit before making modifications. When the company bought the Dixon plant from Cemex in 2005, it assumed liability for the kilns that were not operating up to EPA standards. St. Marys had said it was a coincidence that the EPA settlement and the announcement to suspend operations occurred on the same day. St. Marys had left the door open to resume operations in Dixon, saying that the decision would be based on product demand rather than the cost of EPA compliance. “But honestly,” Burke continued, “I saw the ad and thought they might

DIXON | HELPING THE HOMELESS
Cool fundraiser for PADS over next month Shelter reprising Night Without a Home - with a twist BY KATHLEEN A. SCHULTZ
DIXON – Last year’s One Night Without a Home fundraiser for PADS was such a success – more than $12,000 was raised for the 24-7, 365 homeless shelter and its programs – that organizers are giving it another go. And they’re making it even easier for folks to help out. Instead of squeezing the fundraiser into one night, organizers have made arrangements for folks to put themselves into the shoes of a homeless person, and spend some time out in the cold, whenever they choose over the next
month. It’s a choice the people they are helping seldom get to make. And it’s a good way to raise awareness of the plight of the area’s homeless. Here’s how it works: Scout troops, church groups, business employees, club members, families, individuals – anyone with a hankering to help – are asked to gather pledges to cover however many hours they think they can make it in the chill. Then those willing to brave the elements can pick any time, day or night, from 6 p.m. Saturday through the third week of December, to put on a parka and park themselves outside the shelter at 805 W.

sheet from White, 815440-6598, and/or at the shelter Saturday at the start of the event. About two dozen people participated in last year’s fundraiser, which was the shelter’s first. There was a fire, fellowship and fun – kind of an outdoor slumber party.

With its wider time frame, organizers hope to see even more people participate this year. Of course, there also are other ways to help PADS, which, at 16 or 17 homeless men, women and children, is pretty much at capacity. Donations of food, clothes, toiletries, bed-
ding or other useful items, as well as money, always are needed. Find the shelter on Facebook or call White for more information. GOING ON VACATION? Keep in touch with the news of the Sauk Valley

Clean Line wins Illinois OK BY KATHLEEN A. SCHULTZ
The Illinois portion of the Rock Island Clean Line energy transmission project, which will cut through parts of Whiteside and Bureau counties, was approved Tuesday, Clean Line Energy Partners LLC said in a news release this afternoon. The Illinois Commerce Commission unanimously approved an order to grant Rock Island Clean Line LLC, a subsidiary of Clean Line Energy, a certificate of public convenience and necessity. That will allow the company to build and operate a 121-mile transmission line in Illinois as part of a new 500-mile direct current electric power line. If similar approval is granted by Iowa, the line will deliver 3,500 megawatts of wind power from the northwest Iowa area to Illinois, the release said. It would begin in north central O’Brien County, Iowa, and end at a Commonwealth Edison substation in Grundy County, Illinois. In the Sauk Valley area, it would include 8 miles in Whiteside County between Hillsdale and
Erie, and run the length of Bureau County. The company recently filed for the same permission in Iowa and must go through the same regulatory process, said Amy Kurt, manager for Rock Island Clean Line. Officials hope to have that approval in 2015, start construction in 2016, and begin transmission in 2018, Kurt said. It took 2 years to win approval in Illinois. Opponents of the project have said they object to the elimination of some prime farmland, either by purchase or eminent domain. “The ICC approval is a great step forward for the Rock Island Clean Line project and brings Illinois one step closer to creating a cleaner energy future,” Michael Skelly, president of Clean Line Energy, said in the release. “We are grateful to the commission for their careful consideration of our application and proposed route. By approving game-changing projects like the Rock Island Clean Line, Illinois will benefit from access to low-cost clean energy and job creMaking 250 stops nationwide, including one locally!

ation in the construction and manufacturing sectors.” According to the company, Rock Island Clean Line will decrease the annual cost of wholesale electricity used to serve Illinois customers by an estimated $320 million in its first year of operation alone. In addition, it will bring a direct investment of about $600 million in the state and create hundreds of construction jobs and job support in the manufacturing sector for the wind turbines that will provide power for the line. Clean Line will use local vendors, such as construction materials suppliers, and will, buy its wire from Southwire Inc.’s Flora factory. The Rock Island Clean Line will also pay millions of dollars in taxes to local government each year for counties, schools, fire districts, and other services where the line towers and converter station are located, the release said. Rock Island Clean Line submitted its application to the ICC in October 2012. It proposed two
routes, a preferred and and alternative route; the preferred route was approved today with no objections. The company still is signing up landowners, and will provide easement payments and structure payments that can be made each year or up-front, at the landowner’s option, plus any damage payments, it said in the release. The wind energy delivered by the Rock Island Clean Line will allow other generators to run less and burn less fuel by eliminating the need for the equivalent amount of energy to come from fos-

WHITESIDE COUNTY COURT
Rock Falls man guilty of animal cruelty Starved pit bull could bring up to 6 years in prison BY CHRISTI WARREN cwarren@saukvalley.com
800-798-4085, ext. 5521 MORRISON – A Rock Falls man found guilty of aggravated cruelty to animals after a bench trial Tuesday in Whiteside County Court faces
1 to 6 years in prison. Joseph Nelson, 38, is to be sentenced Jan. 13 for leaving his caged pit bull starve to death in the basement of a home he once rented. The dog’s body was found by authorities March 25 after it had been discovered by a worker hired to clean the home. It appeared to be an adult male, but the carcass weighed only 25 pounds.
W h i t e side County State’s Attorney Trish Joyce said she was happy with Joseph the guilty Nelson verdict. Assistant State’s Attorney Jennifer Kelly handled the case for her office. “We’re quite pleased that the court found the
defendant committed this offense,� Joyce said. “The evidence was very horrific, and certainly the defendant had other options available to him and chose not to. And so, in essence, this poor dog starved to death.� Whiteside County Animal Control received a call March 14 to do a welfare check on the dog. Workers went to Nelson’s home in the
1000 block of Lincoln Street, knocked, and got no answer. Workers looked in the yard and windows, but didn’t see, hear, or smell anything. They talked to neighbors, and left the homeowner a note to call them. They never got any more complains, and they never got a call. “If [Nelson] was unable or unwilling to care for
this animal, he could have contacted a shelter; he could have tried to seek a different owner,� Joyce said. “Even releasing this dog would’ve been better than what this dog’s fate was.� Nelson, who has been in Whiteside County Jail since his arrest March 28, is represented by public defender Jim Heuerman. Judge John Hauptman heard the case.
WHITESIDE COUNTY
Body of recent inmate found Foul play not suspected, sheriff says; autopsy results not available BY KATHLEEN A. SCHULTZ
MORRISON – Autopsy results were not available Thursday in the death of a woman who appears to have succumbed to hypothermia after being released from Whiteside County Jail on Monday morning. The body of Janet Sims, 65, of Rock Falls, was found around 3 p.m. Tuesday in a wooded area a few blocks north of Whiteside County Jail, roughly 30 hours after she was released from the facility, Sheriff Kelly Wilhelmi said Wednesday. Foul play is not suspected, Wilhelmi said. Jamie Richards, 42, of Lyndon said Sims, his mother, suffered from bipolar and schizoaffective disorders, and had been in and out of local hospitals and the jail off and on for the past 18 months, he said. She was released around 8 or 9 Monday morning – her 65th birthday – after serving 5 days of a 10-day sentence for contempt of court in a trespassing case. A snowstorm was moving
through the area at the time. “I feel horrible,� Wilhelmi said Wednesday. “You never want to see anything like this happen. You want to see everyone get home safely.� No one was available Thursday to provide further information, including results of an autopsy that was done Wednesday, a dispatcher at the department said Thursday morning. What happens to inmates once they are released is a situation over which jail staff have little control, Wilhelmi said. Once an inmate has served his or her sentence, staff has no authority to hold them, and for liability reasons, the department does not provide rides home. “There are opportunities for phone calls,� the sheriff said, adding that he did not know if this woman called anyone after her release. She did sit upstairs at the jail for a few hours before deciding on her own to leave, he said. To the knowledge of the staff, the

woman had no mental issues. Certainly she had not been deemed by the court as being in need of a mental evaluation, Wilhelmi said. “What could we do?� he said. “Our hearts go out to her and her family.� Richards, however, disputes the sheriff’s assertion that Sims’ mental health issues were not known to jail staff. The last time his mom was held, jail personnel called him when she was released so he could pick her up, he said. He’d even asked them to call the county health department to get her on some medication, although he was told that that was not something they were able to do, Richards said. Neither Richards nor his brother even knew Sims was being held this time, though, he said. “What bothers me the most is that this could have been prevented with a ride home,� he said. “This is just tragic.�

Tar Heel-style Side Dishes Enjoy the flavors of North Carolina with these traditional treats Oyster Stuffing Yield: About 4 servings From “The Ocracoke Cookbook,” by the United Methodist Women of Ocracoke Island (1970s edition; originally published in the 1950s). This is a very minimalist dressing, as befits an isolated community. So add celery and other seasonings if you like. It also could be doubled easily; use 24 ounces of oysters. 5 cups day-old bread cubes (see note) 2 (16-ounce) jars oysters or 16 freshly shucked oysters, drained and chopped 3 eggs, hard cooked, peeled and chopped 1/4 cup (4 tablespoons) butter ½ cup chopped onion ½ teaspoon salt ¼ teaspoon black pepper ½ to 1 cup chicken broth (plus turkey drippings if you like) Gently mix the bread cubes, oysters and eggs in a large bowl. Melt the butter in a skillet and sauté the onions until tender. Add the salt, pepper and chicken broth and bring to a boil. Pour over the dry ingredients and toss until moistened. Place in a 1½-quart baking dish. Bake uncovered in a 350-degree oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until heated through. NOTE: We tested this with a firm white bread, sometimes called toasting bread, but Italian or French bread also would work. To hurry the drying, you also can spread it on a baking sheet and place it in a 325-degree oven for about 20 minutes.
Green Beans with Bacon Dressing
Sweet Potato and Pear Casserole
Yield: About 6 servings Adapted from “Betty Feezor’s Carolina Recipes, Vol. 1,” originally published in 1957. The old-time boiled dressing is both sweet and sour, a nice balance to heavier fall foods. It can be served hot or cold as a salad. About 1½ pounds fresh green beans About 6 slices bacon 2 eggs 1/ cup apple cider or 3 white wine vinegar ½ cup water 3 tablespoons sugar ¼ teaspoon salt 1 tablespoon diced pimento Trim the ends from the green beans and cut or break them into bite-size pieces. Fill a bowl with ice and a little water; set aside. Place in a pot and cover with cold water and about 1 tablespoon salt. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer just a few minutes, until crisp-tender. Remove from heat, drain and pour into the ice water. Drain again, roll in a clean dish towel or paper towels and refrigerate until ready to serve. Cook the bacon until crisp. Drain. Reserve ¼ cup drippings and discard the rest. Crumble the bacon and set aside. Whisk together the eggs, vinegar, water, sugar and salt. Return the reserved drippings to the skillet. Add the egg mixture. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until thickened. Add the cooked green beans to the sauce and stir until warmed through. Serve topped with the crumbled bacon and pimentos, or chill and serve as a salad.
Yield: About 6 servings Adapted from “Bill Neal’s Southern Cooking” (UNC Press, 1985). The original version is a souffle, with beaten egg whites folded in. For a holiday meal, we wanted something that could be reheated and could wait longer before serving. So we kept the original flavors but changed the method. 3 medium sweet potatoes, about 1½ to 2 pounds total 2 medium ripe pears, such as Bosc Half of a lemon 1 ⁄8 teaspoon white pepper ½ teaspoon salt 2 tablespoons honey 4 tablespoons butter, softened, divided 2 eggs, beaten ½ cup chopped pecans Poke the potatoes all over with a fork and bake on the open rack of a 375-degree oven about 50 minutes, until soft. Remove, cut in half and cool. Peel, quarter and core the pears. Chop coarsely and place in a stainless steel or glass mixing bowl. Squeeze the lemon half over them. Scoop the sweet potatoes from their jackets and add to the pears. Add the pepper, salt, honey, 2 tablespoons butter and the eggs. Beat well, but leave the mixture lumpy. Coat a 1-quart baking dish with 1 tablespoon butter. Spread the sweet potato and pear mixture in the dish. Bake at 350 degrees for about 30 minutes. While the casserole is baking, melt the remaining 1 tablespoon butter and cook the pecans until lightly toasted. Sprinkle over the casserole before serving.
Sweet Potato Pecan Cake with Coconut-Pecan Cream Cheese Frosting Yield: 8 servings Adapted from “It’s Not Gourmet – It’s Better,” by Eudora Garrison (1978, Washburn Graphics). The original called for a cooked frosting, but the cream cheese version is simpler. Nonstick cooking spray 1 medium sweet potato 2½ cups all-purpose flour 3 teaspoons baking powder ¼ teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon each ground cinnamon and nutmeg 1½ cups vegetable oil 2 cups sugar 4 eggs, separated 4 tablespoons hot water 1 cup chopped pecans 1 teaspoon vanilla Frosting: 1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese 2 tablespoons milk ¼ teaspoon salt 2 teaspoons vanilla About 16 ounces confectioner’s sugar 1½ cups chopped pecans, divided 1½ cups flaked coconut, divided Spray the bottoms of 3 (8to 9-inch) cake pans. Using the pans as a guide, cut three circles of wax paper and place one in the bottom of each pan. Spray again. Peel the sweet potato and shred on a box grater. You should have about 2 cups. Sift flour and measure 2½ cups. Add the baking powder, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg and sift again. Place the oil and sugar in a mixing bowl and beat with an electric mixer until smooth. Beat in the egg yolks and the hot water.
Beat in the flour in several additions. Stir in the sweet potato, nuts and vanilla. Using a separate bowl and clean beaters, beat the egg whites until peaks stand up when you lift the beaters. Mix about a quarter of the egg whites into the batter to lighten it, then fold in the remaining egg whites. Divide the batter between the three lined cake pans and smooth the tops. Bake at 350 degrees for 35 to 45 minutes, until cakes are pulling away from the sides and tops spring back when lightly touched. Remove from oven and cool a couple of minutes, then carefully turn out onto racks. Peel away the paper and discard. Cool cake layers completely. Beat the cream cheese with the milk, salt and vanilla. Beat in the confectioner’s sugar. Stir in 1 cup each pecans and coconut. Frost cake, then garnish with remaining pecans and coconut.
Scuppernong Wine Jelly Yield: About 6 servings From “It’s Not Gourmet – It’s Better,” by Eudora Garrison. Wine jellies used to be traditional on holiday tables all over the South. This version adds a North Carolina touch with scuppernong wine. 1 cup cold water 2 envelopes (half a box) unflavored gelatin 1¼ cups boiling water 1 cup sugar Juice of 1 lemon 1½ cups scuppernong wine Red food coloring (optional) Boiled Custard (see recipe) Place cold water in a mixing bowl and pour the gela-
tin over it. Let stand briefly to soften. Add the boiling water and stir until the gelatin is completely dissolved. Add sugar, lemon juice and wine. Add food color, if desired. Blend well and pour into a mold. Refrigerate until firm. Remove from bowl into a large, shallow bowl. Spoon boiled custard or whipped cream around the edge and serve in a dish or glass.
Boiled Custard Yield: About 6 cups From “North Carolina & Old Salem Cookery,” by Beth Tartan (UNC Press, originally published in 1955 and reprinted in 1992). Boiled custard isn’t boiled, it’s gently cooked. Tartan noted that it was sometimes called dip and served chilled with warm fruit cobblers and pies. 6 eggs 1 cup sugar 2 cups half and half 2 cups whole milk Pinch of salt 1 teaspoon vanilla Beat eggs with an electric mixer, gradually beating in the sugar. Place the half and half and milk in a saucepan over medium-low heat and warm until it is starting to steam and show a few bubbles around the edge, but isn’t boiling. Slowly beat the hot milk into the beaten eggs. Pour into the top of a double boiler over simmering water (or, if you’re using a stainless steel mixing bowl, just place it over a saucepan of simmering water). Heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens enough to coat a spoon. (Watch carefully – it can go from thick to curdled very quickly.) Immediately remove from heat and stir in the salt and vanilla. Chill
