‘Full support mode’: Orangeville responds to local tragedy with compassion

By Tony Carton

CORRESPONDENT

When tragedy struck the Robey-Johannsen family the night of Sept. 16, the community of Orangeville rose quickly in support.

Family friend Samantha West-Feigel organized and posted a GoFundMe site online at https://bit.ly/2RXqjIr, where dozens of stunned and grief-stricken area residents are donating to push the site towards its goal.

And the Orangeville High School chapter of Highland Community College Servant Leadership set about organizing a fundraising project.

Fire broke out in the family’s home

while Alisha Johannsen was away at work, and killed her boyfriend, Jonathan Robey, 40; her son, Garrett Johannsen, 11; and the couple’s son, Beaux Robey, 4.

“Working in support of this family will be our big annual project this year,” said Servant Leadership mentor

Elizabeth MacKenzie. “We had another project in mind, but on the morning of the fire, one of my students walked in the room and said we have to deal with this fire, the other project can wait. And he was right; it was definitely more pressing than what we had been talking about.”

The Servant Leadership program consists of student representatives from more than 14 area high schools.

Each student learns leadership skills within a servant-first methodology.

These students go above and beyond in not only their own personal development, but also for service to their

fellow community members.

“We want to sell at least 500 T-shirts,” MacKenzie said. “We’re also collecting items for the survivors because obviously, everything is lost.”

See TRAGEDY, Page 8

How you can help • Go online to https://bit.ly/2RXqjIr to access the GoFundMe page to benefit the Robey-Johannsen family.

• Purchase a T-shirt at the Orangeville High School office (make checks payable to the school); from Orangeville Ink by calling 815275-0957; or at 107 E. High St., Orangeville, Illinois.

Fire department raises funds for equipment update

By Tony Carton CORRESPONDENT

If you see smoke pouring from the Lena fire station next Saturday, Oct. 3, there’s no reason to panic. The department will be hosting a drive-thru style hog roast/fundraiser and as much as the department members love serving the greater Lena community and their mutual aid partners, they need your support to continue.

Serving will begin at 5 p.m. at the fire station, 405 W. Railroad St. Lena Fire Department Assistant Chief Shane Gerber shared some background information about the department.

“I joined the Lena department in 1994 and we’re ‘old-school’ firemen in Lena,” Gerber said. “We’ll still go take cats out of trees.”

In fact, a couple years ago there was a cat that took up residency inside of someone’s car and to save the cat, they had to actually cut the car apart.

“I would have figured if the cat could get in there it could get out, but

in the end we had a really happy cat owner,” Gerber said. “We are your full-service fire department and we do it all.”

He said the department’s equipment and physical plant are well maintained and in good condition, but there are a couple things that need attention.

“The station was built in 2007 and we’ve continued to upgrade or replace old and outdated equipment,” Gerber said. “This hog roast fundraiser is to help fund updating our all-terrain vehicle. A lot of our calls are to automobile accidents, and obviously we deal with fires, but we also see carbon monoxide detection and fire detection issues.

“Some of our calls involve patient extraction from out at the lake or on snowmobile trails, and our ATV is aging.”

He said the department members continue to update their training and skill levels.

“We run our new recruits through what’s called Firefighter One, which covers your basic firefighting techniques,” said Gerber. “We make sure they’ve got an intro to first aid and we get everybody CPR-certified. We

Lena event features drive-thru

all need those three basics.

“We also participate in a HAZMAT course and rescue training. There are specialists within the county that deal with high-rise and confined space issues. The department is part of what’s known as MABAS 17, the Mutual Aid Box Alarm System, so if we have an incident where we need more help, we simply call in to control and request it, and they will dispatch whatever we need.”

Speaking of trained specialists, there is a department member specifically trained to roast a hog.

“He would never say it out loud, but our Chief Brad Strong is an expert hog roaster,” Gerber said.

“Brad’s been doing roasts for years for graduation parties, weddings and picnics, and to put it simply, he cooks a pretty mean pig.”

Three family members died in a Sept. 16 fire at the home.

From Lena’s Kitchen

The not so skinny cook We officially started fall last week, although it felt more like summer a lot of days. We are to have a little more unseasonal temperature, but as it gets cooler it is still supposed to be nice. If you go into the grocery stores, you will see piles of squash and pumpkins, beautiful baskets of apples and a lot of root vegetables.

This week the column offers a lot of interesting takes on vegetables, two main courses and two seasonal desserts.

Fried Cabbage

If you have some cabbage left over, and you are not hungry for any more slaw, this recipe could tempt your taste buds. It is a great side with interesting texture. It is super easy to make. Enjoy this interesting cabbage

recipe.

2 T. butter 1 t. sugar ½ t. salt ¼ t. red pepper flakes ¼ t. pepper 6 C. coarsely chopped cabbage 1 T. water In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Stir in sugar, salt, pepper flakes and pepper. Add cabbage and water. Cook for five to six minutes or until tender, stirring occasionally.

Orange Glaze Beets

Beets are ready to be harvested.

You can keep them a long time in a cool, dry place. This recipe is also super simple. It involves cooking the beets, cooling them; and then peeling them. Flavored with orange marmalade, these beets make a really good side.

4 small fresh beets 1/3 C. orange marmalade 1 T. butter Dash of salt Scrub beets and trim tops to 1 inch.

Place in a large saucepan and water to cover. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, covered, for 25 to 30 minutes or until tender. Drain and cool slightly.

Mix up a recipe for simple satisfaction By

JILL PERTLER Contributor

but I can share a couple. Perhaps this tangent will warrant a second installment.

Let’s start with granola. It’s pretty obvious that you start with oats and nuts (I used walnuts).

Here’s my recipe: 1 cup oats, 1/3 cup walnuts, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon, 2 tablespoons coconut oil and 2 tablespoons honey.

Place oats, chopped walnuts, salt and cinnamon in a bowl and stir. Melt coconut oil and mix with honey. Stir into the oats mixture. Place on a nonstick sprayed cookie sheet and bake at 350 degrees for about 15 minutes. Stir and continue baking for another six to 10 minutes or so. Check often to make sure you don’t overbake. Cool.

At this point you can add other ingredients of your choice, such as dried fruit, chocolate chips etc. Store in the fridge in a plastic bag or (more environmentally friendly) a glass canning jar.

Granola is yummy with … yogurt!

Make your own with only two ingredients: milk and unsweetened yogurt with active cultures (most any yogurt from the store fits this bill.)

Find a covered bowl you will use to store your yogurt. I use a large empty yogurt container. Fill nearly full with milk. Pour the milk into a pot and heat slowly on the stove until the milk reaches 200 degrees Fahrenheit. Remove from heat and let milk cool to 100 degrees. Ladle about one cup milk from the pot into a bowl and whisk in about 1/2 cup yogurt.

Pour the yogurt/milk mixture into the

First full term comes with accomplishments and unfinished work With an election around the corner and a fall veto session scheduled to start in the Illinois House two weeks following Election Day, I recently found myself reviewing the unfinished work I look forward to continuing when we return to Springfield, as well as what agenda points could be checked off the list as completed.

While many first full term legislators find themselves with little in the way of legislative successes, I was humbled and proud to have passed three bills out of the Illinois House in my first term. I proposed and worked on 14 bills as chief sponsor and more than 50 additional bills as a chief co-sponsor or co-sponsor.

All three bills I sponsored which passed related to natural resources, conservation and hunting, topics which draw at least some bipartisan support, despite Republicans status in the super-minority in the Illinois House. Every bill that passes for members of the super-minority requires bipartisan support. If it does not have it, the numbers simply aren’t there. This “bipartisan” moniker is simply applied reality for Illinois

Letter to the editor County clerk clarifies vote by mail status Over the past few days, many Jo Daviess County voters have received a letter from Secretary of State Jesse White’s office alerting them that they have not applied for a vote by mail ballot and they should contact my office to complete their application.

These letters have been sent to voters throughout Illinois from the secretary of state’s office.

The letters were part of the mandate of SB 1863, the election bill passed by the state Legislature in May as a response to the COVID-19 pandemic. It requires election authorities, such as the

Jo Daviess county clerk, to send a mail ballot application to every voter who has voted in any of the past three elections.

The law also stipulates that the secretary of state shall send, by Sept. 15, 2020, a notice to any voter in Illinois who received an application for a mail ballot but according to State Board of Elections records has not yet applied for a mail ballot.

However, the notices do not accurately reflect the current status of vote by mail applications my office has received from Jo Daviess County voters. Many voters who have applied for mail ballots, as well as voters who have no interest

in voting by mail, have received these letters.

I assure those who have applied for mail ballots that my office has been processing your applications, and vote by mail ballots (are being) sent to Jo Daviess County voters who have requested them …

To those voters who do not want to vote by mail, I assure you that this is not part of any effort to pressure anyone into voting by mail. In-person early voting and Election Day polling places will be available as always to any voters who prefer to utilize those options.

Angela Kaiser, county clerk and recorder Jo Daviess County

Republicans.

Many bills that I co-sponsored were Democrat-led initiatives that I was proud to support, including legislation to reduce insulin costs, protect organ donors and prevent and punish animal cruelty. Many bills I co-sponsored were Republican-led initiatives as well. Some of those bills went nowhere because Democrats would not support them. Included in this category was my bill proposing fining members of the Illinois General Assembly who are found guilty of a felony committed in his or her official capacity as a member of the General Assembly a minimum fine of $100,000, as well as my bill proposing to prohibit political committees from making expenditures for payments to attorneys, expert witnesses, investigators, or others to provide a defense in a criminal case. Unsurprisingly to many, even a topic like ethics reform can easily get caught up in political rancor in Springfield.

Imagine that.

There were important public safety issues that I was humbled to have a hand in, as well. Importantly, there was naming Trooper Brooke Jones Story Memorial Highway to help memorialize a local hero and raise awareness for roadway safety and Scott’s Law. We stiffened penalties for Scott’s Law violators with bipartisan support. The passage of these bills and sign dedication event were some of the most heart-wrenching

and humbling moments I experienced in the legislature.

Much of the work that dominated this spring’s session, and should continue to occupy the agenda for fall veto session and next spring, are ethics reforms issues, related to executive powers and COVID-19 response, and encouraging the restoration of one of the best economies in our nation’s history before this pandemic set in.

We can build it back, but it’s going to take extraordinary work. Reining in executive powers that subvert the tried and true system of checks and balances is a must for fall veto session. Fair business treatment for small businesses, as well as laws that protect local businesses from shop-shaming, are initiatives we should legislate upon return. Rebuilding our economy is the only path forward. That work remains unfinished and I look forward to continuing to roll up my sleeves to bring common sense and northwest Illinois values to Springfield.

We’ve been on lockdown (or semilockdown) for nearly six months. It’s been interesting, to say the least.

I attempt to see my life as though the glass is half-full. What have these months of quarantine given me? In a word, time. Time to learn new things, or get back to the things I already knew, but didn’t have time for in my very, awfully, totally busy prequarantine existence.

A few of my activities involve science experiments in the kitchen, aka food manipulation. It’s interesting, how complex food items become simple when you discover how to make them yourself. And it feels good to make something from scratch. It creates a feeling of sustainability in your life, and I think we could all benefit from a bit of sustainability just about now.

In the last two days I’ve made granola, yogurt, pesto, no-need to knead yeast bread, balsamic vinaigrette, mozzarella cheese and catnip tea — and I didn’t even break a sweat. Maybe there is an upside to COVID after all.

The upside goes double for my bathroom scale, unfortunately.

Speaking of bathrooms, I also made my own wet wipes (not a food item, but a recipe for success during these COVID days of wet wipe shortages.)

I’ve heard we won’t get our hands on the pre-made items until 2021, but that’s conjecture. I could tell you to use toilet paper or paper towels moistened with disinfecting cleaner, but TP and PT are in short supply as well.

Some of the most desperate among us have actually reverted to using cloth rags, which can be washed and reused after cleaning the toilet. My grandma would be proud.

But back to the important stuff — food. Who cares about cleaning when you can eat?

I don’t have room for all of my culinary discoveries and practices,

Business briefs Clinic receives award from hospital association

Monroe Clinic, a member of SSM Health, has received regional recognition as one of the Wisconsin Hospital Association’s 100th Anniversary Value Award winners.

In honor of its 100 years, WHA offered the opportunity for member hospitals to apply for the 100th Anniversary Value Award. The award is based on the values of WHA — advocacy, integrity, foresight, relationships and leadership.

The application process involved Monroe Clinic sharing examples of the WHA values in action at its facilities and sharing how local processes and models positively impact daily work.

“One area that stood out to us was the coaching model that (Monroe Clinic) developed and embedded

into (their) culture,” Eric Borgerding, WHA president and CEO, said in a news release. “The ability of managers/coaches to engage, enable and empower their teams is not a minor task and it is evident that (they) do this consistently with intention and commitment.”

Final thoughts I love when the news people tell you things that are so many days away. It is less than three months until Christmas. Everyone says to do your shopping early. Maybe they are afraid no one will Christmas shop this year. My question is: Do we really need to know this information now? They never tell us how far away Thanksgiving is.

Just one of my random thoughts …

I got my car back last week from the auto repair shop. As some of you know, my silver Equinox has been hit five times since I have owned it. Only one of those times did I actually know how it happened. All the rest were hit and run.

I am thinking I should trade this car before it is the target of another hit and run!

The family of Mark Ozburn wishes to thank the many people who gave gifts, cards and expressions of support in addition to shared memories of their time and friendship with Mark.

We especially thank other families who shared their loss of a child with us. Whether death comes from sickness, accident or suicide, it is all very tragic. It is a heartache that never ends.

Because Mark was an organ donor, his generosity has saved four lives.

His heart, liver and kidneys were truly a gift of life.

Fancy, name-brand, Greek yogurt is often more than double the cost of regular yogurt, which has all the same probiotic benefits of the Greek stuff.

Regular yogurt simply has more whey (liquid). Greek yogurt has more of the whey removed and is therefore thicker.

You can do the same at home by straining your yogurt through cheesecloth or even coffee filters. I used to spend $4 for a tub of Greek yogurt before discovering the regular stuff for about $2. Now I make my own for less than half that price. And there are no additives. It’s the real deal.

We’ve been living in quarantine mode for six months. During this time, I’ve tried to stay positive. I’ve attempted to see the glass as halffull, except lately my glass isn’t half full of water.

Secretary of state extends driver’s license, ID expiration dates CAPITOL NEWS ILLINOIS

Expiration dates on Illinois driver’s licenses and state ID cards will be extended another three months, Secretary of State Jesse White announced Sept.

23.

White announced expirations for licenses and IDs will be extended until Feb. 1, 2021, so the cards will remain valid throughout that span. The extension applies to those who have October, November, December and January expiration dates.

“Extending expiration dates until February 1 means people with an expired driver’s license and ID card do not need to visit a driver services facility immediately,” White said in a news release.

License plate stickers remain extended until Nov. 1, 2020, as they can be renewed online. White encouraged those who have business with the sec-

retary of state to consider using online services instead of visiting a facility when possible.

Online services at www.cyberdriveillinois.com can be used to renew license plate stickers, obtain a duplicate driver’s license or ID card, obtain a driving record abstract or renew a standard driver’s license through the Safe Driver renewal program.

Online transactions continue to rise, according to White’s office, with online license plate sticker renewals increasing 84 percent compared to the same period in 2019. From June 1 through Sept. 20, more than 1.2 million such renewals have been conducted online, compared to 654,596 during the same period a year ago.

White recently extended by one year the driver’s license expiration date for drivers age 75 and older. The new expiration date is their birthday in 2021.

They placed the order for the T-shirts early in the week and the response has been phenomenal.

“Many people have already contacted us asking for a shirt and wanting to know if there’s anything else they can do to help,” she said.

“It’s so touching when people don’t even hesitate to reach out and offer to help. Orangeville is just that kind of community where people respond and support each other no matter the circumstance.”

In addition, the group is creating a memory box to give Ms. Johannsen.

“We’re asking folks familiar with the family to share their memories,” MacKenzie said. “We thought maybe there will be some stories that no one else knew, so I emailed all the teachers and the kids went to the students that are in the appropriate age groups so we could learn more about the youngsters (who died).

“We asked them to write down some memories that they thought the mom would like to know. I’ve read what we’ve collected so far and some of them made me cry.”

Zach Baker is a senior at Orangeville High School. This is his second year with servant leadership.

Orangeville High School senior Zach Baker is among the students working on the fundraising effort for the local family.

“I always heard Servant Leadership did great things for people in the community,” said Baker, a second-year member. “I thought it would be beneficial for myself and my school to make contributions that not everyone can make.”

He said helping the Robey-Johannsen family will be the chapter’s big project.

“We came up with the idea of a T-shirt,” Baker said. “Orangeville Ink came up with the idea for the front of the shirt with the name of the town and the zip code with the last zero in the code being heart shaped.

“The shirt back has the names of the family members lost in the fire.”

“We are doing everything we can to make this work,” Baker said. “Our community is small and everyone has to come together to be a helping hand in the process. It’s not going to cover it all, but we hope we can take a little bit of the stress away and provide some love.”

Orangeville Senior Camree Pelikan is also in her second year with

Servant Leadership.

“I would say our Orangeville Servant Leadership team is a good group this year,” Pelikan said. “Everybody brings different strengths. We are a diverse group.”

She said when she decided to bring the fundraiser project to the group, she recalled a tragedy that happened in a nearby town last year.

“There was a group in that town that had raised money for those families by selling T-shirts,” Pelikan said.

“I thought we could do the same.”

She first discussed it with fellow Servant Leadership member Brady Sullivan, whose parents own Orangeville Ink. He brought the idea to his parents, who came up with some designs, and the project was underway.

“I really like the design we decided on,” Pelikan said. “500 shirts were delivered to us over the weekend and the response is already very good.

Lots of other schools are reaching out to us too.”

Unfortunately, the entire Servant Leadership team was COVID-19 quarantined Thursday, but the fundraising activities, including a balloon release, are expected to continue.

“We don’t know exactly what’s going to happen,” Pelikan said. “We had a bunch of stuff planned, but with our quarantine, it’s really stressful now, so we’ll see how this plays out. At this point Servant Leadership has teamed up with our student council. Our council offered to pay for the helium and the balloons and we were going to set it all up.”

She said they are going to do their best to make the project work.

“We are doing a memory box for the family and I’ve spoken with a number of the junior high kids,” Pelikan said. “I could see how much they were affected by the tragedy and I could see how much they love their classmate.

“I didn’t personally know him, but I could tell from talking to his classmates what an amazing kid he was. I just hope his mom knows that we are here, the whole community is here, and we are all in full support mode right now.”

Aviation museum readies for construction on event space, archive library

By Katelyn Black CORRESPONDENT

FLU SHOTS

Brodhead’s Kelch Aviation Museum is raising money to construct its Phase II building before officially opening its display to the public this spring.

Currently located inside their Phase I hangar, this large collection of historical planes was once owned

by Wisconsin airplane fanatic, Alfred Kelch. Kelch lived in Milwaukee before moving his planes to the Brodhead airport in the 1990s.

Kelch, who died in 2004, had set up a trust in hopes that his collections would one day become a museum.

Now, his wish is about to come true.

According to Pat Weeden, Kelch Aviation Museum executive director, museum officials plan to break ground on the Phase II building in November, and the museum itself should be open to the public by spring.

The attraction will consist of the Phase I hangar, where the vintage airplanes are stored now, and the Phase II building, which is set to include an archive library and event center.

Both buildings are located adjacent to the airport.

“The part that’s remaining to be built is the offices, bathroom, the library. We’ll have a climate-controlled archive space, and we’ve got like ten thousand books we need stored here,” Weeden said. “The big part is that there will be an event space. We’ll have about 4,000 square feet of rentable event space, so if people want to have a meeting, party or class reunion, anything.”

Now, with the projected opening

of the building just months away, Weeden is staying focused on fundraising for the project.

Fundraising started in 2016, bringing in $1.15 million so far.

The total fundraising goal for the project is $1.5 million.

Before the pandemic hit, Weeden planned to have all of the money raised before breaking ground on the building. However, all of the summer fundraising events had to be canceled.

Still, both private and organizational donors have come through for the effort in other ways.

According to Weeden, lots of people have still donated through their website. Some private donors have helped by transferring stock, leaving a sum in their will to the museum, or donating old aviation technical journals.

Local organizations, such the Brodhead Area Foundation and William S. Knight Foundation, also have taken part.

According to a press release from the Kelch Aviation Museum, the Brodhead Area Foundation gave a three-year grant totaling $135,000, and the William S. Knight Foundation donated $370,000.

The Phase I hangar, which sits at the Brodhead airport, will be named the Bill and Sue Knight Memorial Vintage Airplane and Auto Hangar in honor of the William S. Knight Foundation’s donation.

Now, with the opening date in sight, Weeden is able to focus on the long term. When Kelch was still alive, he helped create the museum’s mission statement. He had wanted the attraction to become a place

where people could not only enjoy the planes, but also learn a little something, too.

Weeden hopes to implement educational programs in the future.

“I don’t want people to think of this as a building full of old stuff that you come and look at once and forget about,” he said. “We want to have regular educational events out

here teaching STEM. We want this to be a place people like to come to and like to be at, even if it’s just to hang out or take part in an hour-long class.

“We might do stuff for kindergartners on how to make a paper airplane, right up to (activities for) high school kids on aerodynamics and advanced physics of airplane designs and things like that. Our long term

goal is absolutely to be an educational facility.”

Weeden is offering tours through the Phase I hangar by appointment only. Every one attending the tour must wear a mask.

No need to get out of the car or go out of your way – just drive through for your flu shot!

This year, it’s more important than ever to get a flu shot. The COVID-19 pandemic has been pushing our country’s healthcare system to its limits since March, and shows no real signs of stopping. Add the effects of a typical flu season and you get some pretty scary numbers that could overwhelm hospitals and healthcare systems across the country.

Adults under 65 will receive a $30 quadrivalent vaccine and those 65 and over can get a $65 high-dose vaccine. Pay by cash, check, or credit card and you can use your receipt for reimbursement from your insurance carrier. If you are covered by Medicare Part B or a Medicare HMO accepted by FHN, there will be no out-of-pocket charge (please present Medicare card*).

Of course, you can still get a flu shot from your provider (cost may vary from drive-thru prices).

Antibiotics work best when used properly When Alexander Fleming produced the first antibiotic in 1928, it was deemed an almost miraculous achievement in the treatment of disease. Fast-forward a little over nine decades and the number and variety of antibiotics developed is astounding. Unfortunately, as the old adage warns, too much of a good thing can be bad. In this case, I am referring to

antibiotic resistance.

Bacteria are single-celled, living organisms that can reproduce on their own and can survive in a variety of environments, including inside our bodies. Most bacteria are harmless and some even help your body to digest food, take in nutrients and fight disease. Antibiotics work on the harmful types of bacteria that cause

Senior Resource Center offers help with Medicare open enrollment Medicare participants may begin calling the Senior Resource Center on Oct. 1 to schedule an open enrollment appointment. The number is 815-235-9777.

Appointments will be from Oct. 15 through Dec. 7 to coincide with the annual Medicare open enrollment period. Any changes made will take effect Jan. 1.

“COVID-19 is causing one major change for Medicare open enrollment this year: All appointments will be over the phone,” according to a news release. “Staff and volunteers will call participants at their appointment time. Clients should have their Medicare card and prescriptions in front of them during the phone appointment.”

Area residents who want appointments are encouraged to call early because the number of appointments may be limited and slots are expected to fill up quickly.

During open enrollment, Medicare beneficiaries can re-evaluate their coverages, whether they are on original Medicare with a prescrip-

tion drug plan (Part D) or a Medicare Advantage plan, and make changes if they wish. During open enrollment, a beneficiary can switch from one prescription drug plan to another; join a prescription drug plan (could have a penalty); switch Medicare Advantage plans; or switch from a Medicare Advantage plan to original Medicare; or join a Medicare Advantage plan.

The Senior Resource Center, located in Freeport, offers programs, education and activities for people 50 and beyond, their families and caregivers in Stephenson and Jo Daviess counties. The programs include adult protective services, AARP Tax Aide, information and assistance, money management, case management, transit and education and activities. All programs are continuing to operate in various capacities, even though Senior Resource Center buildings are closed to foot traffic.

disease by either killing them or interfering with the bacteria’s reproduction. Antibiotic resistance occurs when bacteria evolve, or change, so that antibiotics no longer affect or kill them.

While antibiotic resistance can take place in nature, frequent and inappropriate use of antibiotics is the No. 1 cause of antibiotic resistance.

For example, if antibiotics are not taken for the full amount of time prescribed, the weakest bacteria will be killed, but the strongest bacteria are left to grow and change to become resistant. Some bacteria are now resistant to even the most powerful antibiotics and can multiply at an alarming rate. In fact, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recognizes antibiotic resistance as, “one of the world’s most pressing public health problems.”

When infections do not respond to first-line antibiotics, patients get sicker, more expensive medicines

must be used, treatments take longer and may require hospital stays. In the United states alone, 2.8 million people develop an antibiotic resistant infection per year. Tragically, 35,000 of them die. The financial and personal impact on a family can be devastating.

Viruses differ from bacteria in that they are smaller, less structurally complex, almost always cause disease and are not considered alive, because they require a host cell to replicate. While viruses differ greatly from bacteria, they can cause some remarkably similar signs and symptoms of disease. Because of the seriousness of antibiotic resistance, your doctor will not wish to prescribe antibiotics without a differential diagnosis to confirm that the infection is caused by a bacteria. If your infection or illness is caused by a virus, it will not respond to an antibiotic.

To compound this, the antibiotics can destroy your body’s good, or

disease-fighting bacteria, which can cause you to develop a serious bacterial infection.

Do not take antibiotics unless prescribed by a health professional.

When your dentist or physician decides that your infection warrants antibiotics, do not stop taking them early because you are “feeling better” or you want to “save some for next time.” Do not share your antibiotics with anyone. Some people are unknowingly allergic to certain antibiotics and may have a life-threatening reaction, which will require emergency medical care.

State-regulated utilities extend shutoff moratorium to winter 2021

By Raymon Troncoso CAPITOL NEWS ILLINOIS

Several state-regulated utilities have voluntarily extended a moratorium on disconnections into next year after requests from the Illinois Commerce Commission.

In a Sept. 22 news release, the ICC announced that Nicor Gas and Liberty Utilities have agreed to halt shutoffs due to missed or late payments for all residential customers until March 31, 2021.

Ameren Illinois, Aqua Illinois, Illinois American Water, Commonwealth Edison, Peoples Gas/North Shore Gas and Utility Services of Illinois have agreed to delay disconnections to the same date for residential customers who qualify for the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program, or LIHEAP, and those financially impacted SUBMITTED PHOTO The Scoop Today/Shopper’s Guide

MidAmerican has extended its moratorium on shutoffs for LIHEAP-qualified residential customers until March 31, 2021 as well, and is considering Candice King, meteorologist from Fox 39 in Rockford, spoke re- other options, according to ICC. To qualify for LIHEAP, residential motely to Tina Smith’s eighth-grade careers class on Sept. 25.

customers’ combined household income for the 30 days prior to submitting an application must be at or below 200 percent of the federal poverty level for their family size. A spokesperson for the ICC said it is strongly encouraging all residential customers of the participating utilities to call their utility to check their eligibility.

The LIHEAP application period runs from July of this year to June 30, 2021, or until funding set aside for the program is exhausted.

According to the ICC release, residential customers who have been impacted financially by the COVID-19 pandemic and cannot pay their utility bill do not need to fill out any forms or provide paperwork to qualify for the moratorium. They just need to “make the phone call and verbalize” their situation to receive a delay on shutoffs if their state-regulated utility is participating in COVID-19 related moratoriums.

“This action will ensure a continuation of utility service. Deferred payment arrangements are also available for both residential and small business customers needing help managing their

utility bill obligation during these difficult times,” according to the release.

On June 18, the ICC approved a COVID-19 utility agreement with state-regulated utilities that included the first moratorium on shutoffs that some utilities have since voluntarily extended. The agreement also included consumer protections aimed at protecting utility customers during the coronavirus pandemic, such as deferred payment agreements, temporary waivers for reconnection fees and new deposit requirements.

“Illinois citizens are facing extraordinary challenges due to the pandemic. Low-income families and those impacted by COVID-19 should not have to fear losing basic services like electricity, heat or fresh water,” Carrie Zalewski, ICC Chairman, said in a news release. “The voluntary actions by these utilities will provide our most vulnerable citizens with some peace of mind, especially as cold weather approaches.”

If the committee votes to approve the charge, a second, 12-member disciplinary committee would be formed to conduct what amounts to a trial. If that panel finds Madigan guilty, it would send a resolution to the full House, along with recommended disciplinary action that could range from reprimand or censure to expulsion from the House.

House Speaker Michael Madigan said Friday that he will not testify before the House Special Investigating Committee that is probing his role in a bribery scheme involving utility giant Commonwealth Edison, and it’s not likely that most of the other potential witnesses that Republicans want to hear from will testify either.

In a two-and-a-half-page letter to the committee, Madigan called the committee “a political stunt” being orchestrated by House Republican Leader Jim Durkin, of Western Springs, and said the ongoing federal criminal investigation, “is more important than Mr. Durkin’s political theatrics.”

“For the record, I am not exercising my Fifth Amendment rights by not appearing before the committee,” Madigan wrote. “As I have said before, I have done nothing wrong.”

Madigan, a Chicago Democrat and the longest serving state legislative speaker in U.S. history, was implicated in the bribery scheme in July when officials with ComEd entered a deferred prosecution agreement with the U.S. Attorney’s office in which they admitted that over a period of years, they awarded jobs and contracts to close associates of Madigan in order to curry his favor for legislation that benefitted the company.

Madigan has not been charged, and the deferred prosecution agreement did not explicitly state that he had personally requested the favors or had direct knowledge of them at the time. He is referred to only as “Public Official A,” although the agreement makes clear the public official is the speaker of the Illinois House.

Republicans have filed a charge under House rules accusing him of “conduct unbecoming to a legislator or which constitutes a breach of public trust.” During the committee’s

first meeting Sept. 10, GOP members introduced a list of witnesses they wanted to testify voluntarily.

The list included Madigan along with several past and current employees of ComEd. The committee has authority to issue subpoenas for witnesses and documents, but Republicans so far have not indicated they intend to pursue that option.

The job of the Special Investigating Committee is to determine whether there is sufficient evidence to support the proposed charge. That would require a majority vote on

BEST Inc. has received a grant from the Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity as part of an effort to expand apprenticeship opportunities.

BEST Inc. is partnering with Illinois Valley Community College, Sauk Valley Area Chamber of Commerce, Northwest Illinois Economic Development and Rock Island Tri-County Consortium to deliver outreach to area businesses across all industry sectors within the 11-county area being served. Outreach will include making businesses aware of the benefits of sponsoring an apprenticeship program, including the positive return on investment, the process of developing an apprenticeship program, and linkage to the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Apprenticeships.

“Thousands of occupations and companies have already benefited from the apprenticeship model and the state of Illinois is looking to expand those opportunities by another 800 apprentices over the course of the grant period,” according to a news release. Locally, the project looks to add 20 new registered apprentices along with five new programs.

Nikelle Tellier will serve as the project manager and be responsible for coordinating efforts among the partnering entities. To contact Tellier, send an email to nikelle_tellier@best-inc.org.

4-H Week highlights opportunities for youth Every year, National 4-H Week sees millions of youth, parents, volunteers and alumni come together to celebrate the many positive youth development opportunities offered by 4-H. The theme for this year’s National 4-H Week, Opportunity4All, is a campaign that was created by National 4-H Council to rally support for Cooperative Extension’s 4-H program and identify solutions to eliminate the opportunity gap that affects 55 million children across America.

National 4-H Week is Oct. 4 through Oct. 10 “We believe youth perspectives are so important and a solution to eliminating the opportunity gap, because young people come with new ideas and new ways of seeing the world,” Jennifer Sirangelo, National 4-H Council president and CEO, said in a news release. “By encouraging diverse voices and innovative actions, 4-H believes that solutions can be found to address the educational, economic and health issues that have created the opportunity gap.”

Stephenson County 4-H will observe National 4-H Week by highlighting inspirational 4-H youth in local communities who are working to support each other and their communities.

“Nothing can compare to the leadership experiences 4-H offers youth,” said Becky Gocken, Stephenson

County 4-H and youth development program coordinator.

“Members in 4-H truly are given ‘Opportunity4All’ with the large variety of projects and leadership opportunities offered. There is something for everyone.”

Stephenson County 4-H members will participate in a virtual scavenger hunt where they have to upload photos and/or videos for points. Those with the most points at the end of the week will receive a prize. Each day of the week will have a different theme.

“Additionally, keep your eyes to the sky as you might recognize a Stephenson County 4-H Cloverbud member on a local billboard,” Gocken said.

One of the most anticipated events of National 4-H Week every year is the 4-H STEM Challenge, formerly known as National Youth Science Day. The theme of this year’s event, which is expected to see hundreds of thousands of youth across the nation taking part throughout October, is Mars Base Camp. Developed by Google and Virginia Cooperative Extension, Mars Base Camp is a collection of activities that teaches children ages 8 to 14 STEM skills, including mechanical engineering, physics, SUBMITTED PHOTO Shopper’s Guide computer science and agriculture.
