World War II veteran to speak tonight Talk to center on POW Camp Hampshire

As a 12-year-old boy, John Fenzel Jr. was able to meet the “enemy” on friendly terms–from the safety of his hometown.

A newsboy for Hampshire druggist George Wilcox, the young Fenzel was tasked with delivering copies of the Chicago newspapers–the Daily News, Herald-American and Tribune–to the German POW camp in town. Located on the eastern end of Keyes Avenue, Camp Hampshire housed 260 German prisoners, with 50

enlisted men and officers as guards.

T h e McHenry County Historical Society will host John Fenzel “ M e m o r i e s of Wartime in Hampshire–1944-45” by Sleepy Hollow resident John Fenzel at 7 p.m. tonight, Thursday, Nov. 11, at the county history museum, 6422 Main St. in Union.

Admission to this hybrid program is $5, payable at the door for those attending in person. Those wishing to attend remotely can order tickets at mchenry-county-historical-society-and-museum. ticketleap.com/fenzel.

While the German POWs idolized their former commander, Field Marshal Erwin Rommel, Fenzel said all but a few were just like their American counterparts: doing their bit and desperate for the war to end.

“They were not Nazis,” he said. “We assimilated with them pretty well. On Sundays when they’d go to church, they’d march down Main Street 12 abreast–all in their summer uniforms with hobnail boots. Half would peel off to the Catholic church and half to the Lutheran church. And when they came back they’d meet in the town square and sing. They had beautiful voices.”

The prisoners, volunteers with Germany’s elite Afri-

ka Korps, were captured in Libya and transported to the United States to plug holes in the labor force. In the case of Hampshire, they worked alongside locals harvesting peas and corn, and then prepping the produce for canning at the J.B. Inderrieden Co. “There were not enough people to run the plant,” Fenzel said. “They had them (Germans) at Camp Grant in Rockford and the mayor thought that was a good idea.

Three weeks later they started construction of a concrete fence. They had squad tents and five, semi-permanent buildings–including commander’s office and mess hall.”

It was while delivering censored newspapers (Fenzel was in charge of clipping out

violent stories) that the newspaper boy met Hans Finkel.

“He could speak better English than I could,” Fenzel recalled with a laugh. “He had a master’s degree in English from the University of Berlin.”

Under Finkel’s tutelage, Fenzel improved his English scores from C to an A. But he also learned many other things from German prisoners–not the least of which was how to play pinochle and euchre.

“I learned what you finish what you start and when you do a job you do it right,” said Fenzel, 88. “Then take pride in what you’ve done.

Remember who your God is and give him respect. You be good to him and he’ll be good to you.”

Vaccine boosters recommended

by McHenry Health Department The McHenry County Department of Health (MCDH) is encouraging all eligible residents who received their COVID-19 vaccine to get their booster dose to help strengthen protection against severe disease or complications from severe disease.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends COVID-19 vaccine booster shots for the following Pfizer and Moderna vaccine recipients who completed their initial series at least 6 months ago: • 65 years and older • 18+ who have underlying medical conditions • 18+ who work in highrisk settings • 18+ who live in high-risk settings Anyone who is 18 years of age or older and received the single-dose Johnson & Johnson vaccine should get a booster dose 2 months after their initial dose.

Additionally, the CDC now allows for mix and matching products for booster shots. Mixing and matching of COVID-19 vaccine is only considered for booster doses. Those who are unvac-

cinated and are seeking the Pfizer or Moderna vaccine must use the same product during the initial two-dose series.

When considering a booster dose, the vaccine used to complete the primary vaccination series should be used. If it is not available or another product is preferred, mixing and matching of an available COVID-19 vaccine booster is acceptable.

An individual benefit-risk assessment or a discussion with a primary care provider is encouraged to help booster recipients make informed decisions about which booster shot is best for them.

Vaccines.gov allows individuals to search for COVID-19 vaccine by location, vaccine brand/manufacturer and appointment availability.

Vaccine.gov also has information about where to receive flu vaccine near you.

Another way to find COVID-19 vaccine near you is to text your ZIP code to 438829 or call 1-800232-0233. You may also

made everything better than okay.

Welcome to the middle.

As life marches on, we measure it by milestones.

Certain anniversaries or high school reunions or the birthdays of your children.

Big things. Exciting events.

But just as important is the mundane. A lost tooth.

Sunday breakfast together.

A regular Thursday doing homework at the kitchen table. Mismatched socks.

Dirty laundry. Someone forgetting to flush the toilet (again). Dog farts.

Making a bag lunch for the sixth grade field trip at 10 p.m. when you’d rather be in bed, but parenting is parenting (sigh). Ironing your son’s shirt for his first job interview. Teaching said son how to iron so he can do the job himself the next time. Dinner together.

Family game night. Sunday fun day. Saying “good morning, how did you sleep?”

Laughter shared in the comfort of home. Silly family traditions. All the things that make a normal life good. They aren’t necessarily exciting or new. They are part of the ordinary regular day. But they are magic, if you let them be.

Let the middle be magic.

Quite often we look forward or backward to the big events of life. In the meantime, we overlook the everyday, mundane, and humdrum. But when all is said and done, when life is nearing an end, it’s not the beginnings or the endings we’ll look back upon fondly. It’s the middle.

Enjoy the middle.

No, do better than that.

Cherish it.

In its most simple form, life is composed of beginnings, middles, and endings.

Often much of our focus is on the beginning and endings. They are exciting.

They are newness and the shredding of the old. They are the adrenaline rush of life.

We look forward to our first day on the job. We wait for the last day of school. We anticipate the birth of a baby or the time when the children have left the nest. We plan for retirement or a new vacation home. Beginnings and endings – they make up the exhilarating mile-markers of life.

But as life changing as those beginnings and endings can be, they don’t encompass the essence or majority of life. That, my friends is the prerogative of the middle.

In the excitement of beginnings and endings, I suggest, I implore you, to enjoy the middle.

Your first day of kindergarten. Graduation from high school. Much attention is placed on these occasions, but what about everything in between? The routine band field trip when you sit next to a flute player, who later becomes a best friend. Riding the activity bus home on a regular Thursday and your future husband takes the seat next to you and you immediately strike up a conversation littered with laughter.

Enjoy the middle.

Your wedding day was the beginning of your life together. You planned each moment in detail, so it could be the peak of perfection.

But, at its very best, it encompasses only 24 hours.

The wedding is followed by lean hamburger years of working long hours and sticking to a budget because it’s what you had to do to get by and get ahead.

The wedding was but the beginning. The days that followed were life. Going to bed, together, each night, saying “I love you,” and knowing despite the budget (or lack thereof) things would be okay because your love was okay and that

Belvidere moving to curb illegal Main Street Players dumping of garbage around town presents Radium Girls

By Bob Balgemann

Directed by Seth Lambright, “Radium Girls” will be performed on Friday Nov. 12, Saturday Nov. 13, Friday Nov. 19, and Saturday Nov. 20, at 7 p.m. and on Sunday, Nov. 14, and Sunday, Nov. 21, at 2 p.m. at the Community Building Complex of Boone County, 111 W. 1st St. Belvidere.

Based on real life, the play is set in 1926 when radium was considered to be a miracle cure, Madame Curie an international celebrity and luminous watches the latest rage - until the girls who painted them began to fall ill with a mysterious disease. “Radium Girls” traces the efforts of Grace Fryer, a dial painter, as she fights for her day in court.

Her chief adversary is her former employer, Arthur Roeder, an idealistic man who cannot bring himself to believe that the same element that shrinks tumors could have anything to do with the terrifying rash of illnesses among his employees. As the case goes on, however, Grace finds herself battling not just with the U.S. Radium Corporation, but with her own family and friends, who fear that her campaign for justice will backfire.

Tickets: Adults, $14 Seniors (65+)/Military $12, and Student $5 Electronic payment is encouraged Masks will be required.

REPORTER

Mayor Clint Morris didn’t mince words when he talked about the recurring incidents of illegal dumping of garbage, debris and other items in the public rights of way around town.

“It has been brought to my attention numerous times that certain individuals feel they have a right to dump debris, garbage, furniture, you name it, at the curb and leave it,” he said at a recent Committee of the Whole meeting. “And then the city has to clean it up.

So I thought we should have something that would have an effect on those who do that.”

That wasn’t all.

“Since I’ve been in office I have had four to five calls and went out and sure enough, there it was on the premises and at the curb. I’ve had to have the Public Works Department go over there. We take care of our property. But there are those who don’t. We would like to see that property picked up. So I think this is a shot at it.”

He was referring to a five-paragraph amendment to Section 98-15 of the Belvidere Municipal Code, proposed

by City Attorney Mike Drella, which states it is illegal “to deposit on any city right of way, or any public place, any trash, rubbish, debris or any material of any kind.

The term ‘right of way’ shall include any street, highway,

alley, sidewalk or the public space lying adjacent to any street, highway or alley (the terrace).”

After Drella spoke briefly about the proposal, the mayor had more to say.

“This seems to be a repetitive problem,” he said. “One of them took the garbage out and then threw a bunch of diapers in the street. Quite frankly, the neighbors keep their property up. They called and complained about it. And that isn’t the first time. So this may be a way to start.”

A presumption Drella said the proposed ordinance creates a presumption.

“If the property owner comes to court and says, ‘I didn’t do it,’ I don’t know how the judge will rule. That could be an issue.

“There’s a lot of illegal dumping going on behind the community center. We contemplated taking a police department camera and putting it up here, to see who’s doing the dumping.”

That was never done. Rather, he suggested that if someone sees illegal dumping in the right of way, that person should snap a picture and send it to the city’s building department for investigation.

There were questions from the committee, including Alderman Marsha Freeman, who asked if the property owner would be held respon-

sible for the littering when it might have been done by a tenant of that resident’s house.

“The answer is ‘yes,’ Drella replied. “If you look at Paragraph B (of the code amendment) as drafted, it makes the owner and the tenant equally liable for cleanup. And they can be fined. So this does both. And this includes yard waste.”

Danny Anderson, superintendent of the water, sewer and street departments, said yard waste and other such debris “somehow finds its way into our chipper. We seem to pick up every week; we’re constantly picking things up.

They tell us it’s storm damage but you can see where they trimmed their hedges.

“We pick up twice a year.

But they (property owners) do it at their convenience and expect us to jump. And we do, for the most part. After every sizeable storm we do make the rounds and pick up the branches.”

Alderman Tom Porter said he had a little bit of a problem making the presumption that the homeowner did the littering.

“Someone dumps a couch in front of your house, then that means you’re responsible,” he said. “That means you have to pay for it and the garbage company doesn’t typically take anything that large without your paying extra for it.”

He also suggested giving a

property owner seven days, instead of the three being proposed, to clean up any mess in the terrace area in front of their house.

Morris said he thought, “for the most part we’re reasonable. I saw something come out of a door and put in the terrace and it’s been there three weeks. I guess they were hoping someone would have a use for it and when nobody does, they leave it.”

Something that was particularly upsetting to him, he said, was when someone dumped diapers and food in the street, like it was a third world country. “I asked the street department to pick it up and lo and behold, it happened again. This (ordinance) allows us to address that kind of thing.”

A violation of Ordinance 551H will carry a fine of not less than $200 a day, per offense, with each day, or part thereof, that the violation exists, constituting a separate day.

Alderman Dan Snow moved to recommend approval of amending Section 98-15 of the municipal code, with the second offered by Alderman Freeman. The motion passed unanimously, in a voice vote, and then was read into the record at the Oct. 18 city council meeting. Ordinance 551H was expected to be approved on second and final reading at the Nov. 1 council meeting.

Natural Land Institute statement Temporarily halting development and construction on Bell Bowl Prairie

Natural Land Institute is pleased to announce that an agreement has been reached through the US District Court with the Greater Rockford Airport Authority, Board of Commissioners and Michael P. Dunn the Executive Director to temporarily halt development and construction including grading, earthmoving, or other construction activity that would damage or destroy any and all portion of Bell Bowl Prairie until March 1, 2022. (Case Number 3:21cv-50410) This means that a Temporary Restraining Order is no longer needed at the moment

and NLI agrees to withdraw its Motion for a Temporary Restraining Order and Preliminary Injunction not forfeiting it’s ability to file at a later date. Therefore there was no hearing Friday morning Oct. 29.

This halt to construction activity until March 1, 2022, will allow us time to work with the Airport Authority to explore alternative design concepts that protect the prairie and the endangered Rusty Patched Bumble Bee. However, this timeframe does not allow time to determine if the bee is nesting on the prairie, which must be

done in the summer.

Additionally, the media release by the Rockford Airport today only references removing a detention basin from the design, and makes no mention of the planned roadway going through the highest quality part of the prairie, or re-siting the proposed building.

Natural Land Institute will continue to pursue legal remedies to protect the remaining prairie and make sure we have access to monitor the prairie.

Natural Land Institute is grateful to all its partners and the grassroots activists for making this construction de-

lay possible.

About the Natural Land Institute The Natural Land Institute, an accredited land trust, is a 501(c)3, non-for-profit land conservation organization based in Rockford, Illinois and has protected 18,000 acres of natural land in Illinois since 1958. Their current service area covers twelve counties in northern Illinois. NLI’s mission is to create an enduring legacy of natural land in northern Illinois for people, plants, and animals. For more information and to donate: www.NaturalLand.org.

RFD shares updated plans for Cargo Expansion Project Chicago Rockford International Airport (RFD) officials today announced it is in the process of redesigning a portion of its expansion project, which will remove a detention basin that was originally planned in the Bell Bowl Prairie. Additionally, construction that was previously on hold until Nov. 1 will be suspended within the Bell Bowl Prairie until Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) consultation activities with the US Fish & Wildlife Service (USFWS) are concluded.

In consultation with the FAA and USFWS, the capacity of the planned Bell Bowl Prairie detention basin will be replaced by other planned basins on RFD grounds.

“During the coming months, we will continue to work with the FAA, IDNR, and the USFWS to ensure the project continues and we can plan and develop in compliance with the Federal and state regulations for the endangered species,” said Zack Oakley, the deputy director of Operations and Planning at RFD. “The FAA is reinitiating consultation under the Endangered Species Act with the USFWS to evaluate impacts to the Rusty Patched Bumble Bee, so planned construction initially scheduled to continue on Nov. 1 will be suspended until further consultation is completed. We anticipate the resumption of the project in the spring of 2022.”

Throughout its numerous expansion and economic development projects, including this expansion, RFD has demonstrated a responsibility and awareness to potential environmental impacts. As part of this project, RFD: • Completed a FAA Environmental Assessment in 2019 and received a “Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI).”

• Followed all guidelines and rules set forth by the FAA, Federal, state and local government.

• Coordinated with the FAA, USFWS, and the IDNR in regard to a sighting of the Federally Endangered Rusty Patched Bumblebee that was recorded in the vicinity of project. RFD

paused all work in the area to accommodate the bee foraging season.

• Voluntarily worked with the IDNR on a field survey and relocation of two state endangered plant species (large-flowered beard tongue and prairie dandelion). RFD agreed to allow INDR to remove and transplant these specific plants prior to commencing construction, in addition to the prairie gentian, prairie smoke, prickly pear, aromatic aster, and bastard toadflax.

This $50 million dollar cargo expansion is significant for the region. It is estimated to create hundreds of construction jobs, generate up to 600 permanent new jobs at the airport, and facil-

itate continued growth of the region’s strength in worldwide international cargo operations.

RFD continues to be an economic engine for the Rock River Valley, and Northern Illinois, as a competitive and expanding international air cargo gateway, creating skilled jobs in aviation, transportation, logistics and construction. Over the past year, RFD and its partners have created over 1,000 new jobs bringing the total jobs on the airport campus to over 8,000. Among the many projects the Airport and its partners have announced and/or achieved this past year include the construction of this new $50 million international cargo center, the

AAR/United Airlines partnership and the $19 million UPS ramp expansion.

About Chicago Rockford International Airport Chicago Rockford International Airport (RFD) continues to expand its international air cargo gateway. RFD is the second largest hub in the United States for UPS, one of the world’s leading express freight integrators, as well as being an important mini hub for Amazon Prime Air. RFD currently operates a freighter network serving destinations to and from countries from around the world, as well as from international tier one freight forwarders such as DB Schenker, DSV and SENATOR.

“The VFW Honor Guard is an assemblage of Veterans and Auxiliary members who predominantly pay honors for military members,” said John Darley, VFW service officer.

“We will do a 21-gun salute, play

taps, and do the presentation of the ceremonial American flag to family members at funerals. The funeral home will have a flag draped over the deceased veteran’s casket and we will tri-fold the flag and present it to the relatives. During parades and ceremonies, we carry flags and rifles.

Boone County reduces speed limit along part of Poplar Grove Road Yet another step has been taken to improve safety conditions for motorists at and around the intersection of Poplar Grove and Squaw Prairie roads.

This time the county board has agreed to reduce the speed limit from 55 mph to 50 mph on Poplar Grove, between Lawrenceville Road and 1,000 feet north of Squaw Prairie. A unanimous vote of approval came at the Oct. 21 board meeting and the appropriate signs have been installed in the affected area.

“This intersection has been a challenge,” County Engineer Justin Krohn told board members. “The intersection itself doesn’t necessarily have any unsafe characteristics. We have seen an increase in (traffic) volume that would directly contribute to a rise in accidents. So we’re implementing different measures that IDOT (Illinois Department of Transportation) uses. The most recent one (was) rumble strips on the west side of the intersection,” which were installed Oct. 18.

He provided the following details on appropriate driving speeds under favorable conditions.

“Under the Federal Highway Administration’s (FHWA) Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD), the Engineering Approach - Operating Speed Method establishes the first approximation at the 85th percentile of free-flowing traffic,” he explained. “MUTCD guidance allows for a 5 mph ad-

justment based on many factors, including shoulder width, crash frequency, and severity.

The 50 mph proposed speed limit is within the federal and state guidance.”

Given that, the county highway department supported a reduced speed limit of 50 mph along that stretch of Poplar Grove Road.

There had been an advisory 45 mph speed limit sign in that area since Dec. 17, 2019, and board member Dave Wiltse asked if violating that speed was a ticket-able offense.

“It is not,” Engineer Krohn replied. “The black on yellow, those are advisory and are not enforceable.”

of Poplar Grove and Squaw Prairie is in the talking stage.

Board Chairman Karl Johnson reminded Krohn about their conversation concerning an overhead tflashing light at that location.

“Is that still something we’re looking into?” the chairman asked.

“Yes, these are things that we’re continuing to look at,” the engineer answered. “You would string a wire diagonally across the intersection and then have a beacon hung in the air that would flash yellow northbound and southbound, and red eastbound and westbound. It would be like Christmas out there with a lot of flashing lights. All of those are More measures safety measures. We’re throwAnother possible safety im- ing everything we can at this, provement at the intersection to improve safety.”

Prairie and in the immediate vicinity have appeared before county officials for many years, bringing with them their concerns about ongoing problems with traffic in that area.

Krohn prepared an overview of what recently had been done at that intersection, starting with an analysis of the situation that included speed studies of both roads that took place during the summer of 2018.

There was a 24-hour manual traffic count, with directional movement recorded, Dec. 20, 2018, followed by an Lots of attention intersection study for safety Residents at the intersection improvements that was comof Poplar Grove and Squaw pleted by Hutchinson Engi-

neering in January 2019. An IDOT road safety review was scheduled for March 19 and 20, 2020, but subsequently was canceled because of the early days of the coronavirus pandemic. This fall IDOT was asked to reschedule that review.

Here is a list of improvements that have been implemented at Poplar Grove and Squad Prairie starting Dec. 6, 2018, with the installation of two additional (left-side) stop signs. Also Dec. 6 reflective strips were installed on signposts, along with red-flashing sign beacons.

There’s another factor, which Krohn said he had been discussing with IDOT officials. That was the issue of traffic traveling south on Illinois 76, either towards Belvidere or Interstate 90, and choosing to avoid a lot of the traffic signals on the Route 20 bypass by using Squaw Prairie Road.

Board member Steve Schabacker interjected that he and other residents of McKinley Avenue had noticed that problem. But rather than take it up at that time, he said he would talk with the engineer later.

Following the Centers for Disease Control and the Illinois Department of Public Health recommendation for COVID-19 vaccine for children 5 through 11 years of age, the Boone County Health Department will hold it next, appointment only, clinics on Tuesday, Nov. 16.

Vaccination, along with other preventative measures, can protect children from COVID-19 using the safe and effective vaccines already recommended for use in adolescents and adults in the United States. Similar to what was seen in adult vaccine trials, vaccination was nearly 91 percent effective in preventing COVID-19 among children aged 5-11 years. In clinical trials, vaccine side effects were mild, self-limiting, and similar to those seen in adults and with other vaccines recommended for children. The most common side effect was a sore arm.

“We are thrilled to offer expanded vaccine opportunities to children.” said Amanda Mehl, Boone County Health Department’s Public Health Administrator.

“Although COVID-19 tends to be milder in children, it can still cause illness as well as short- and long-term health effects.

Complications from infection can lead to hospitalization and death. Vaccinating our children against COVID-19 can help to further protect families and our community against this virus”.

Individuals may also contact their health care provider or visit www. vaccines.gov to find a nearby location to receive a pediatric COVID-19 dose.

The Health Department encourages you to make your appointment online due to the high volume of calls we are receiving.

However, if you need help making an appointment, please call the COVID-19 information line at 815-547-8561.

New website to help prevent fraud, scams Toys for Tots collection at police department Secretary of State Jesse White announced that the Illinois Secretary of State’s Office has changed its official web address from “cyberdriveillinois.com” to “ILSOS. gov.” The change is designed to help combat fraud. A “.gov” website address designates it as an official government website, which is exclusively provided to federal, state and local government entities.

“Changing the website address to ILSOS.gov will help combat fraud at a time when scams designed to defraud Illinoisans have been proliferating,” said White. “Because the new address uses a .gov suffix, you can rest assured it belongs to a federal, state or local government agency–in this case the Illinois Secretary of State’s office–which adds to your peace of mind when

transacting business online with my office.”

White noted that Illinoisans who type cyberdriveIllinois. com into the browser will be directed to ILSOS.gov.

In addition to the website address change, White’s office unveiled a redesigned website to make it easier for the public to locate services quickly. The website prioritizes the most frequently used services, such

as driver license, ID card and license plate renewals. It also breaks down online services into a specific section to help customers who wish to conduct business online.

Popular features, such as Safe Driver renewal, DL/ state ID card renewal, Facility Finder, Pick-a-Plate, license plates renewal and business services filings remain prominently featured.

Every year, the Crystal Lake Police Department collects new unwrapped toys for the Marine Corps Reserve’s Toys for Tots Program. The toys that are collected are wrapped and distributed to many children residing in McHenry County.

With an expensive winter ahead, Cub Help Center aims to protect consumers from ballooning natural gas bills Illinois consumers are facing the possibility of hundreds of dollars in higher heating bills this winter due to skyrocketing natural gas prices and aggressive utility spending. Supply rates went up again on Nov. 1, with major utilities charging about double 2020 prices. The Citizens Utility Board (CUB) has launched an online help center to advise gas customers on how to soften the blow of these potentially crippling price increases.

CUB alerted consumers to CUBHelpCenter.com.

The new site explains why gas prices are high, offers efficiency and safety tips, outlines a customer’s rights against disconnection and arms consumers with information about energy assistance and alternative suppliers. (This resource also is available in Spanish.)

The consumer group also called on utilities and government officials to provide more energy assistance this winter, and it urged people struggling to pay their bills to contact their utilities to inquire about payment plans and assistance available.

Winter prices are at their highest level since the heating season of 2008-09. Here are the prices per therm for Illinois’ major utilities as of Nov. 1: • Ameren Illinois – 68.084 cents per therm (101 percent higher than last November) • Nicor Gas – 68 cents per therm (143 percent higher than last November) • North Shore Gas – 68.440 cents per therm (77 percent higher than last November)

• Peoples Gas – 73.870 cents per therm (164 percent higher than last November) “Many consumers were already having a hard time paying their bills due to the financial impact of the pandemic, so these skyrocketing natural gas prices are not helping anyone,” CUB Outreach Director Ivonne Rychwa said. “We urge consumers to reach out to their utility to see if they are eligible for assistance and to prevent disconnection.”

CUB highlighted a number of key points concerning the expensive winter: Consumers should contact their utilities. Heating customers struggling to afford their utility bills are encouraged to contact their utility and express financial hardship. Your utility may offer payment arrangements or financial assistance.

Utilities need to step up.

The consumer group called on utilities to set aside shareholder money to help consumers afford their bills this winter. Nicor Gas recently announced that it contributed $5 million in shareholder money for a program with the Salvation Army to give out grants of up to $250 to consumers in need who are behind on their gas bills. CUB also urged utilities to be flexible to keep their customers connected this winter.

More energy assistance is needed. CUB urged state and federal officials to increase energy assistance for Illinois consumers this winter and beyond.

Practice energy efficiency.

CUB’s Help Center offers

tips on cutting utility bills through energy efficiency, and it gives information on no-cost utility programs that can help customers make their homes more efficient.

Beware of bad deals. Alternative supplier sales representatives may use the high gas prices to try to lure customers into bad deals. The natural gas market has been plagued by high-priced offers and misleading marketing.

Even with these high prices, it’s likely the utility is still your best bet.

Illinois needs long-term policy changes. In addition to fighting for immediate relief for gas customers, CUB said this high-priced winter is further proof of the need for reform. For years, CUB has called on the state to rein in aggressive gas utility spending. Also, the consumer group said it’s time to begin planning for the transition away from natural gas, a fossil fuel. As this winter shows, gas is getting more and more expensive, and it does not fit with clean energy goals designed to fight the most expensive and dangerous effects of climate change.

These high gas prices are one of the lingering effects of the extreme, climate change-induced cold snap that brought record-low temperatures across the nation last February. The cold froze natural gas pipelines and wellheads in the South, limiting supply across the country as heating demand increased.

This led to skyrocketing prices. There are other contributing factors, such as decreased gas exploration and well con-

Expanded eligibility: Pfizer, Moderna, and J&J vaccine booster clinics in Boone County Following the Centers for Disease Control and the Illinois Department of Public Health recommendation for a booster shot of Pfizer BioNTech, Moderna, or J&J COVID-19 vaccine in certain populations and a booster dose for those in high risk occupational and institutional settings, the Boone County Health Department will hold three, appointment only, clinics Nov. 4 and 18.

For individuals who received a Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna COVID-19 vaccine, the following groups are eligible for a booster shot at six months or more after their

initial series: • 65 years and older • Age 18+ who live in longterm care settings • Age 18+ who have underlying medical conditions • Age 18+ who work or live in high-risk settings For those who received the Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine, booster shots are also recommended for those who are 18 and older and who were vaccinated two or more months ago.

Eligible individuals may choose which vaccine they receive as a booster dose. Some people may have a preference for the vaccine type that they

And there is yet another reason for high bills: Major gas utilities in the state have launched aggressive spending plans in recent years that have increased another section of bills: delivery rates, what the companies charge customers to deliver gas to homes.

Under state law, Ameren Illinois, Nicor Gas and Peoples Gas are allowed to hit customers with a special surcharge, the Qualified Infrastructure Plant charge, which has grown on gas bills. In fact, a Peoples Gas pipe-replacement program criticized for overspending and mismanagement is expected to help double fixed costs to as much as $80 per month in the next 10 years.

Plus, companies have pushed for higher delivery rates. Back in January, Ameren received a $76 million rate hike, and Nicor is currently asking for a $198.8 million increase—the utility’s third rate-hike request in four years.

CUB is Illinois’ leading nonprofit utility watchdog.

Created by the Illinois Legislature, CUB opened its doors in 1984 to represent the interests of residential and small-business utility customers. Since then, it has saved consumers more than $20 billion by helping block rate hikes, secure refunds, and fight for clean, low-cost energy.

RAMP earns Three-Year CARF Accreditation CARF International announced that RAMP Center for Independent Living has been accredited for a period of three years for its employment programs. The latest accreditation is the second consecutive Three-Year Accreditation that the international accrediting body, CARF, has given to RAMP Center for Independent Living.

This accreditation decision represents the highest level of accreditation that can be given to an organization and shows the organization’s substantial conformance to the CARF standards. An organization receiving a Three-Year Accreditation has put itself through a rigorous peer review process. It has demonstrated to a team of surveyors during an on-site visit its commitment to offering programs and services that are measurable, accountable, and of the highest quality.

go, Boone, DeKalb, and Stephenson County. It has been providing services to all ages and all disabilities services since 1980. RAMP Center for Independent Living has many employment services including benefit counseling, job placement, job readiness, job development, and case management.

tion process, please visit the CARF website at www.carf. org.

reer exploration and earning RAMP’s Traumatic Brain Injury contract with the Illinois DHS Home Services Program. Most recently, her leadership has helped RAMP earn a collaborative grant from the Office on Violence Against Women (OVW), and full CARF Accreditation for all of RAMP’s employment programs. Sundquist also serves as a CARF Surveyor/ Consultant for other agencies seeking accreditation.

Put the spooky back into Christmas with ‘Horrifying Holidays’ While it’s a largely forgotten tradition in the United States, spooky stories, ghosts and Christmas go together. In the UK and Canada spooky stories are a normal part of Christmas tradition. One of the most beloved Christmas stories, “A Christmas Carol”

by Charles Dickens, is really a ghost story. The rich tradition of telling scary stories for Christmas has been largely discarded in the United States.

Poplar Grove’s Tales of Wonder and Dread Publishing is hoping to change that with “Horrifying Holiday: Holiday Spookfest,” which was released Thursday, Nov. 4. It’s part of T.O.W.D.’s Gary Hill’s campaign to “put the spooky back into Christmas.”

“Horrifying Holidays” is a collection of fiction and non-fiction stories, with all the tales having a Christmas angle

• Booster

to them. It actually opens with a poem about Krampus from Northern Illinois poet and writer Frank Coffman. There are modern fiction tales from Gary Hill, Stephen Osborne and Glenn Tilson. Diane Hill contributes a non-fiction story about a holiday haunting, and there are four more from Gary Hill. Classic fiction from John Kendrick Bangs, E.F. Benson, the aforementioned Dickens and Elizabeth Gaskell round out the book.

In his blurb for the book, NJ Discover’s Calvin Schwartz described it as “A delightful (but still very spooky) literary romp with Christmas themes, some true and some not. A hugely engaging anthology.”

Poplar Grove-based Tales of Wonder and Dread Publishing was founded in 2018, and “Horrifying Holidays”

is the 24th book they have published. All the T.O.W.D. books have a focus on science fiction, horror or generally macabre type subject matter. The most recent releases from T.O.W.D. to date were “Relics, Remnants, and Artifacts” (a collection of fiction and non-fiction works from Gary Hill) and “Spooky Stories,” which is a collection that includes poetry, fiction and non-fiction.

“Spooky Stories” not only includes modern works from Heath Alberts, Elizabeth Lynn Blackson, Frank Coffman, Ernie Fuhr, Stephan Osborne and Gary Hill, but also classics from writers like Robert Burns, H.P. Lovecraft and Edgar Allan Poe. The book is available at lulu.com/spotlight/strangesound and GaryHillAuthor. com.

Those who received their second dose of Pfizer or Moderna at least six months ago or J&J two months ago, and fall into one of the groups listed, may start registering today for our clinics.

Individuals may also contact

their health care provider or visit www.vaccines.gov to find a nearby location to receive a booster dose.

The health department encourages you to make your appointment online due to the high volume of calls we

are receiving. However, if you need help making an appointment, call either the COVID-19 Information line at 815-547-8561 or the Keen Age Center at 815-5449893.

New state ID program for those being released from prison Illinois Secretary of State Jesse White announced a new program to provide individuals with a state ID card upon release from prison.

With support from the Offices of the First Lady MK Pritzker and Lt. Gov. Juliana Stratton, White’s office and Illinois Department of Corrections (IDOC) launched a pilot in December 2020 to explore how the program would work across state agencies. In an effort to streamline the process and utilize existing resources more effectively, the Secretary of State’s Office and IDOC launched an expanded pilot in April 2021, which has been rolled out to 18 IDOC facilities to date. The State ID Program for Returning Residents is modeled after the

successful ID program that the Michigan Departments of State and Corrections launched in June of 2020.

“The State ID Program for Returning Residents gives people who have served their time in prison a necessary tool as they reenter their communities,” said Secretary White.

“A state ID card is essential to transition back into society.”

The program is expected to serve 27 IDOC facilities

by April 2022. As of October 2021, 346 state ID cards have been processed. The average daily population at IDOC is 27,323.

“A successful justice system is one that makes sure those who leave it are equipped to make the most of their second chance,” said

Gov. JB Pritzker. “A job opportunity, a roof over your head, stability – these fundamentals are so much easier to secure with a state ID card in hand. I applaud my incredible wife, First Lady MK Pritzker, Lt. Gov. Juliana Stratton and Secretary of State Jesse White for their work to ensure returning residents have what they need to put their best foot forward.”

“In many of my conversations with women impacted by the justice system, one major barrier to reentry was shared time and time again: obtaining a state ID card post-release,” said First Lady Pritzker. “I am so proud of the months of interagency collaboration that was poured into developing a program to

better support returning residents and better their chances at success upon reentry. It is important that the work we do centers the voices of those with lived experience, and this program is an example of just that.”

“People should never be defined by the mistakes they’ve made,” said Stratton.

“This pilot program is about compassion and common sense because it allows us to support the people who are released from IDOC facilities to best prepare for their return to their communities. Successful reentry often hinges on the ability to possess state identification which increases the likelihood of getting a job, finding housing and accessing vital services.”

Delta Dental of Illinois highlights oral health impact of diabetes You likely know someone living with diabetes — about one in eight Illinois adults [1] have been diagnosed with the potentially life-threatening disease, a number that has doubled in the past 15 years.

Those with diabetes are at greater risk for oral health issues such as gum disease, cavities and tooth loss.

This November during American Diabetes Month, Delta Dental of Illinois is partnering with the American Diabetes Association to bring awareness to the growing prevalence of diabetes, and the oral and overall health risks associated with the disease.

Diabetes continues to be a major health crisis. About 1.3 million Illinoisans [2] have diabetes and another two in five Illinoisans have pre-diabetes where blood sugar levels are higher than normal, increasing the likelihood of developing diabetes without lifestyle changes.

“People with diabetes

have a higher risk of both oral health issues and serious overall health complications,” said Dr. Sheila Strock, vice president of dental services and chief science officer at Delta Dental of Illinois. “It’s a chronic disease that is the seventh-leading cause of death in Illinois.”

Diabetes increases health risks Gum disease is the most common oral health issue, affecting more than 1 in 5 people with diabetes. [3] Other oral health conditions — ranging from cavities to dry mouth, tooth loss, burning mouth syndrome and oral infections, such as thrush — all become more likely with diabetes.

Diabetes can have other uncomfortable oral health effects, too. It can create a bad taste in your mouth and cause problems tasting food. It can also keep sores and cuts in your mouth from healing as quickly as they should.

Effects of diabetes go beyond the mouth. The disease

has been linked with conditions ranging from heart disease and stroke to nerve damage, kidney damage, eye damage, foot damage, skin conditions, hearing impairment, Alzheimer’s disease and depression. [4] People with diabetes are more likely to experience severe symptoms and serious complications when infected with a virus, including COVID-19. [5] Preventive dental visits are key “Routine preventive dental visits are crucial for not only keeping up with your oral health, but helping detect diseases such as diabetes, which can show early signs in the mouth,” Strock said. “Dentists can recommend a daily plan to take care of your oral health at home, and provide treatment for gum disease and other oral health issues to help manage diabetes.”

Taking steps toward a healthier lifestyle can lower blood sugar, which can help prevent or manage diabetes.

Healthy habits include: Maintaining a balanced, low-sugar diet.

Drinking plenty of water.

Exercising regularly.

Brushing twice daily with fluoride toothpaste and flossing once a day.

Getting regular preventive care, including dental exams.

Avoiding tobacco and drinking alcohol in moderation.

People with diabetes may need to see the dentist more frequently for preventive care.

Some dental plans provide additional cleanings for those with specific health conditions. Learn about the Delta Dental of Illinois Enhanced Benefits Program at deltadentalil.com/resources/ebp/. You can also check your dental plan details or ask your dentist if you qualify.

It also is important to complete any treatments your dentist recommends. For more tips on protecting your oral and overall health, visit deltadentalil.com/oral-health.

request and sends the state ID to IDOC headquarters for distribution to the corresponding facility. IDOC then gives the state ID card to the individual upon release.

“For many, like myself, who are away for many years, vital documents that are required to get a state ID are lost or misplaced,” said Maria Garza who was released on Mandatory Supervised Release (MSR) from Logan Correctional Center in June.

“Obtaining these documents after release can take weeks of running back and forth from agency to agency. It becomes a disheartening and hopeless experience for many. I am thankful to receive the assistance of counselors and clinical service department staff at Logan Correctional Center with securing the necessary vital documents needed prior to my release.”

According to state law, there is no charge for a state ID card for a person being released from prison.
