WEST CARROLL SCHOOLS
BY MICHAEL MILLERFor Prairie Advocate
MOUNT CARROLL — Fred Tipton is West Carroll’s newest school board member, appointed after former board President Mike Highland resigned, and Jerry Anderson took over Highland’s slot.
“When we consolidated, I was interested in running,” Tipton said. “When Michael Highland ran for it, I thought we’d be well represented by him, so I didn’t run against him. I just want to make our school as good a place as can be for our kids to be educated, and be around for a while.”
Tipton says he didn’t have any specific issues in mind when he considered running for the board.
“No, I didn’t have an ax to grind with anybody. I mean, do I like everything 100 percent in our school? No, but, ... there’s no one specific thing that made me want to run for school board.”
Asked about West Carroll’s biggest challenges, Tipton said, “Right now, it’s the finance situation. That’s probably
about every school’s biggest concern with the political climate in our state and everything, ... trying to
maintain a strong level for kids that want to get an education to go to college or trade school or whatever they may choose, that we can best prepare them for that next step in life. That’s what we need from our schools.”
Tipton graduated from Thomson in 1979, and lives between Mount Carroll and Savanna. His district is rural, the only one that doesn’t include an incorporated town, and is on the edge of the former Mount Carroll district.
Tipton is a full- time farmer, with farming interests in all three townships: York, Mount Carroll and Savanna. His wife, Rhonda, has been employed at Triumph Bank in Savanna for more than 30 years, and they have one son, Alec, who will be a sophomore at West Carroll in the fall.
Tipton waited, now it’s his time on school board

SHANNON
BY TONY CARTON For Prairie Advocate
SHANNON — Facing a decision that will impact every aspect of life from its schools, to its quality of life, to its ability to attract new businesses and residents, the Village of Shannon Water and Sewer Committee met May 24 to discuss water quality issues. Village President Bonnie Foust opened the session with a brief history of the village’s water system.
“Two wells were drilled on the edge of the old water tower in 1948,” said Foust. “Well 1, is a shallow well, and Well 2 is a deep well and they found more barium in Well 2 than the EPA allows, so what we do is blend the water from 1 and 2 to meet the EPA’s standards.”
When the village built its new water tower in 1997 they drilled Well 3 and quickly learned it did not meet EPA barium standards. After years of experimentation with further blending it was decided to cap Well 3, and the village drilled and brought online its Well 4 in 2013.
“Well 4 came on line and pumped good quality water, precluding the need for a Well 5,” Foust said. “At the same time, when the new water tower and the new well went on line we started getting more water main breaks.”
She said most of those breaks occurred near the school because of the old infrastructure.
“Around that time we started noticing water consumption was huge,” said Foust. “Monthly water reports were showing 220 gallons per person. We thought there might be a leak, but normally, a leak bubbles to the surface and you see it, but we did not see any, so we were trying to figure out what was going on.”
Their first response was to install meters to check the accuracy of their monthly consumption reports. The village applied for a Community Development Assistance Grant to help pay for the meters and repairs to the infrastructure. They took Wells 1 and 2 offline and refurbished them, bringing them up to date with the same technologies operating Well 4, then found a very large water main break that was forcing the leaking water into a manhole below the main rather than bubbling to the surface. They repaired that break and at least appeared to have solved the problem.
“We did not receive the grant we applied for to help with the costs incurred because our health and safety concerns were not great enough to warrant the grant,” said Foust. “But, while we were waiting for
that grant response, our Well 4 started testing higher than the EPA standard for radium.”
Radium is a naturally occurring radioactive element (or radionuclide) that generally is present at low levels in all soil, water, and rocks. Exposure to radium over long periods of time can increase the risk of cancer. Radium can be stored in the body because it behaves similarly to calcium and can replace calcium in tissues, particularly bone.
However, village officials maintain there is no danger to the public from the now too high levels of radium in water pumping from Well 4 and the village engineers have offered several options to fix the problem.
Fehr Graham provided the committee with charts showing Plan 1 as a $270,000 fifth well that will be used to blend with the current Well 4 at the new tower to become EPA compliant. Plan 1 comes with no guarantee that it will work, and would cost about $5 on monthly water bills for every Village of Shannon household.
Plan 2 is an $870,000 water filter system that would be placed at the new water tower on Division Street in its own building. Plan 2 does guarantee that it will bring the village into compliance with the EPA,
ending the radium issue, and would cost around $12 on each household monthly water bill.
“All of the proposed plans cost money, but at this time we have to make a decision; a decision on what to do so we have a safe and reliable water system for drinking as well as for fire suppression” said Village Board member Kyle Ruter in a Facebook post explaining the situation.
“Parts of our village water system are very outdated and not up to the level they should be. There are grants and different loan programs out there to help us make these improvements a reality for the safety and well being of our village.”
Tracy Siegner, who first called attention to the village’s water issues more than a year ago during a Meet the Candidates forum, is asking the board to move to install the filtration system so as to fix the problem right the first time.
“Filtration is something guaranteed to work and $12 a month is worth it,” said Siegner. “I personally spend more than $12 per month to give my kids fresh drinking water. We know we can’t drink the water here and drilling still another well in the same place isn’t likely to fix the problem.”
The next village meeting is at 7 p.m. on June 7, in Village Hall.
Village considers water fixesProposals heard; ‘we have to make a decision,’ board member says

FOOD SAFETY
BY TOM KOCALPrairie Advocate
LANARK — Farmers markets and festivals are popular community events that often go far beyond just fresh vegetables from a home garden, which are basically exempt from food safety regulations. Entrepreneurs offering bakery items have also become very popular at many local farmers markets, and with the Illinois “cupcake bill,” home bakers are relieved to know that the government is no longer sticking its fingers in their batter.
Doug Lieb is the environmental health associate at the Carroll County Health Department. He will be available from 2 to 4 p.m. Saturday at the Farmers Market and Divide and Conquer plant swap held at Pristine
Produce, 446 S. Broad St., during the Explore Lanark event, offering the health department’s viewpoint about the do’s and don’t’s of selling homemade products at farmers markets, and will be available to answer any questions.
Producers who choose to retail their unprocessed home grown produce and fresh cut herbs from their home or at a farmers market, usually do so with very few regulations. The definition of “retail food store” in the Retail Food Store Sanitation Code, Section 760.20, specifically exempts “roadside markets that offer only fresh fruits and fresh vegetables for sale from code requirements.
Lieb said he hasn’t had many problems with vendors at farmers markets, and that most people are cognizant of the best practices for safe, clean,
and healthy food produced from their gardens and kitchens.
“If something is going on that’s not up to code, it is not intentional and is mistakenly being done. Once we point out the issue and tell them the way it is, they always abide. I haven’t had any trouble at all,” Lieb said.
Health department, local government not pulling
bakers’ apron strings anymore

Obituaries Jack Edward Falls
THOMSON — Jack Edward Falls, 84, of Thomson, died peacefully on May 28,
2016, at The Alverno Nursing Home.
Jack was born in Sabula, Iowa, on April 21,
1932, the son of Walter and Helen (Ritenour) Falls. He attended both Thomson and Port Byron high schools. After high school, Jack proudly served his country in the Air Force for 4 years. He married the “love of his life,” Bernice Hagen, on Feb. 14, 1953, in Phoenix, Arizona.
Jack was a truly gifted supporter of his co-workers, friends, neighbors, children and grandchildren. And in the process, he always had a story to tell. Jack’s stories – told with amazing ease and his own unique charm – always brought smiles and helped to lighten the mood. He was employed at Deublin Company in Northbrook, for more than 30 years.
As a retiree, Jack tirelessly offered his services. He was a member of AMVETS, the Thomson American Legion and Lions Club. He volunteered with the Greater River Outreach in Savanna, and helped countless people throughout the years. He also volunteered during Thomson’s Melon Days, and supported the Savanna Historical Society. Most of all, Jack treasured spending time with his family and friends.
Jack will be dearly missed by his wife, Bernice of Thomson; son, Craig (Jean) Falls of Arvada, Colorado; daughters, Kristie Bo of Scottsdale, Arizona, Vicky (Jim) Schneider of Bristol, Wisconsin, and Tammy (Tom) Rogan of Mundelein; eight grandchildren, Emma Falls, Devon and Kelyn Weaver-Bo, Beth D’Incognito, Erica Gesiakowski, Eric, Dawn and Michael Rogan; four great-grandchildren, Ella and Michael D’Incognito and Maddy and Jakob Gesiakowski; and one sister, Patricia Orto of Loveland, Colorado.
Jack was preceded in death by his parents, Walter and Helen Falls; one grandson, Matt Rogan; two brothers, Robert and Richard Falls; and three sisters, Gayle Troha, June Melton, and Mary Groharing.
In lieu of fl owers, donations may be given to the Great River Outreach of Savanna. The Lions Club or the American Legion, both of Thomson, will also welcome donations in Jack’s name.
Cremation rites will be accorded, and a private family burial will be held in Savanna Township Cemetery at a later date.

Edwin George KolkFULTON — Edwin
George Kolk, 81, of Fulton, died on May 31, 2016, at
his home in Fulton, following a battle with cancer.
Ed was born Oct. 27, 1934, in
Clinton, Iowa, the second son of Harry and Jennie (Flikkema) Kolk. He grew up in Fulton and fi nished at Fulton High School in the class of 1952.
Following graduation, Ed delivered milk for Goodenough Dairy. In 1957, he was drafted into the Army, trained as a medical lab technician, and served primarily in Stuttgart, Germany. Following that service obligation, he began working in research at Clinton Corn Processing Company, and continued in lab work throughout his career. He retired from Archer Daniels Midland in 1999. As a second career, he and his wife owned River Huis Traders Antiques in downtown Fulton.
Ed married Nancy Kamphuis at Second Reformed Church in Fulton on May 31, 1957. Following Ed’s Army service, they lived the rest of their lives in Fulton.
As a child, Ed loved to read encyclopedias, and his curiosity for discovering new things and ideas lasted his entire life. Ed and Nancy traveled extensively throughout the United States and Europe. Ed would take months off from work for them to travel to Europe. They taught their daughters the beauty of travel and the happiness in fi nding kindred spirits in other parts of the world. Although Ed cherished his friends in distant lands,
his paradise was his home on the Mississippi River. He loved to work in the garden, monitor boat traffi c, watch the wildlife, teach the next generations about family traditions, and create good memories for his grandchildren.
Ed had a joy of music learned from his parents and his grandfather John Flikkema, and he taught his daughters to break into song at any time. He enjoyed attending concerts, both classical and rock. He also spent many summer nights at Clinton LumberKings baseball games. Ed’s father taught him the pure pleasure of grandchildren and how to appreciate the quirks of various people. Ed truly believed in the power of family, friends, and community.
Ed was active in Fulton community activities. He belonged to the Fulton Lions Club and AFS. He served on the boards of the Community Fund, Fulton Chamber of Commerce, Fulton Retail Development, and Fulton Zoning. He was a volunteer miller at de Immigrant windmill in Fulton since the mill opened in 2000. He trained under Master Miller Derk Jan Tinga from Groningen, the Netherlands, and they formed a friendship so strong many called Derk Jan his Dutch son.
Survivors include daughters, Gina Kolk (Thomas Walsh) of Oak Park, and Heidi Kolk of Oak Park/Fulton; AFS daughter, Ana Maria da Camara Silva; three grandchildren, Jon, Lili, and Duke Walsh, all of Oak Park; sisters-in-law Carol Kolk of Fulton, and Judy Zuidema of Morrison; three nephews, Kevin, Dan, and Mike Kolk; and two nieces, Lisa (Zuidema) Seaman and Amy (Zuidema) Venhuizen.
He was preceded in death by his wife, parents, and one brother, Robert John Kolk.
Per Ed’s wishes, there will be no service or visitation. Cremation rites will be accorded. The Fulton Chapel of the Bosma-Renkes Funeral Home is in charge of arrangements.
In lieu of fl owers or food gifts to the family, Ed would instead like mourners to sing a favorite rock song, hymn, or show tune while smiling and dancing. Memorial donations may be made to the cultural exchange programs at the Fulton Windmill Area at: FOW, PO Box 187, Fulton, IL, 61252.

MORRISON
BY JERMAINE PIGEESauk Valley Media
815-625-3600, ext. 5525
MORRISON – The city is faced with rough roads ahead, but if they wait too long, those roads will only get rougher.
That’s why the City Council kicked off a conversation at its meeting May 23 to address nearly $3 million in roadwork the city wants to do.
The discussion only scratched the surface of the city’s wish list of road repairs. There’s no concrete plan – or asphalt one, for that matter – in place right now, or even a timeline, but city leaders say the discussion is a step in the right direction down some roads that are sorely in need of repair.
One of those roads is among the city’s main
attractions. Some council members say the most important project is a portion of Main Street between
Orange Street and Clinton Street that could cost an estimated $1.7 million to fix.
City Administrator Barry Dykhuizen said, “Main Street is by far the largest project” on the list.
The project would include resurfacing the road, updating the water main and installing brick paver sidewalks, bicycle racks and benches.
“This will get more expensive the longer we wait,” Alderman Curt Bender said. “Main Street is our showcase. We bring people in every year to show it off and it is deteriorating
rapidly. Sometimes, you have to bite the bullet and think about the future.”
Other roads that need
work include Winfield Street from Orange Street to Portland Avenue, Orange Street from Wall Street to U.S. Route 30, and Jackson Street from the south cul-de-sac to Wall Street.
The council has some options to pay for the projects, one of which is the local option sales tax, which voters approved in 2014. That tax brings in a monthly average of $18,700, or $224,400 annually.
Mayor Everett Pannier, however, cautioned that “You can’t do any of the projects with just sales tax money. Be aware of what
it would take to get this job done and how you’d finance it.”
The council could also borrow money through a bond and pay the debt back over, for example, a 20-year period. They could also use Motor Fuel Tax funds.
The city could also use revenue from the telecommunications tax it gets from the state, but first it needs to figure out why that revenue stream has slowed lately.
“That tax has averaged about $100,000 a year, but that amount has dropped down by almost 50 percent,” Dykhuizen said. “We want to know why because it’s odd that it dropped suddenly.”
Dykhuizen said it can take anywhere between 30 to 90 days to get that answer.
Alderman Dave Helms said he would prefer to see Winfield Street taken care of first.
“People have been asking me about Winfield and people want to see that road get done,” he said. “We would be using the tax dollars to pay that off, so you won’t be using the general fund. I’m not against borrowing money to complete Main Street.”
The council has already approved other projects throughout Morrison. Last month, the council voted to
approve Martin & Company Excavating in Oregon as the low bidder for the Wall Street general maintenance project at a cost of $106,968.
The project will include Wall Street, from the west side of Hall Street to the west city of Cherry Street. Curb ramps and sidewalks also will be included.
Project manager Shawn Ortgiesen said the project will take about 3 weeks to complete, and the city is pushing to have work on the street, which is near the Whiteside County Fair, done before the start of the fair on Aug. 16.
Officials have also completed general maintenance on Wall Street from Clinton Street to Jackson Street, earlier this year. That project carried a price tag of just over $124,000.

In June 2014, Gov. Pat Quinn signed HB5354 into law — the so-called “cupcake bill” that will allow home kitchen operators to bake free from intervention by local governments or health departments, as long as the home operations pull in less than $1,000 per month or there is not a complaint or health-safety issue.
After the Illinois Department of Public Health tried to block the measure, some county public health officials succeeded in amending the bill with a loophole: It applies only to home kitchen operations where the local governing body has adopted an ordinance authorizing the direct sale of baked goods.
“The Carroll County Board adopted the bill that will help many bakers and allow people a little more flexibility with what they produce,” Lieb said.
The Carroll County home baker rules work hand in hand with its farmers market rules.
“Their only other option before the cupcake law was to go to a farmers market to buy baked goods made at certified kitchens. Now, there are two ways to get homemade baked goods legally. That allows the same foods produced for farmers markets. That means no pumpkin, mincemeat or custard-type pies, unless you have a certified kitchen and they
are refrigerated.” Potentially hazardous
baked goods such as cream or custard filled items, and egg-based or custard pies must be produced and packaged in an inspected facility and held under refrigeration of 41 degrees or less, according to information found on the CCHD web site.
Non-hazardous baked goods such as cookies, cakes or fruit pies may be prepared in non-commercial kitchens and sold, provided the “bake sale”
is limited in nature – fewer than 14 days of consecutive operation, like a farmers market, a fund raiser for a not-for-profit or charitable organization, and not a regular commercial business. Labeling requirements must be met.
Minimum labeling requirements may be provided as a label on the package or container, on a sign or placard or as a recipe available to the consumer. Information should include the common name of the product; the name, address
and zip code of the person or processor; net contents; a list of ingredients in descending order of predominance by weight; and a list of any artificial color, artificial flavor or preservatives used.
Visit ccphd.org and search Farmers Markets for details, or call Doug Lieb at the Carroll County Health Department is at 822 S. Mill St. in Mount Carroll, or call 815-244-8855 for your questions and more information.

LANARK
BY TOM KOCALPrairie Advocate
LANARK — The City of Lanark needs residents’ help with its plan to carry out street repair, drinking water infrastructure, sanitary sewer, and other general maintenance and improvement projects.
“In order to continue applying for the above grants, which help finance these types of projects, the City needs to complete a new city-wide income survey,” said City of Lanark Intern Lexie Woodward.
She said since 2010, Lanark has completed a well, sanitary sewer, and storm water project. The City applied for
Community Development Assistance Program grant funds, from the Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity, for these projects.
“They were awarded 75 percent of them, including an $83,000 emergency CDAP grant to replace a lift station, which helped to keep resident’s water and sewer fees low and to take pressure off the City’s financial reserves,” said Woodward.
Lanark Mayor John Huggins said the City implemented a Capital Improvement Fund in April 2015, a $3 per month per water bill fee that will be used to fund specifically these projects.

MOUNT CARROLL – Dollar General won’t be laying the groundwork on a new store right now, and it’s ground that won’t work that put those plans on hold – but that doesn’t mean the discount retail chain is ruling out adding Mount Carroll to its growing list of locations.
STL Equities based in Chesterfield, Missouri, has 1.33 acres under contract with the city on which to build the store, but tests determined the land isn’t stable enough for the 9,100-square-foot freestanding store.
“They did ground borings on the site and they determined the grounds were not stable enough,” Mayor Carl Bates said during the City Council’s meeting May 24. “They may have to move the building to another site.”
The plan was to build the store at 18405 state Route
64 on the eastern edge of town, but that proposal has been withdrawn for now.
Despite the setback, Bates believes the company will submit another proposal in the coming weeks.
“They will be doing additional ground borings on the site,” Bates said. “When they know what they are going to do, they will let us know.”
This would be the fourth Dollar General built in Carroll County, along with Lanark, Savanna and Milledgeville.
In other business, the Mount Carroll City Council voted to put a question on the Nov. 8 ballot that will ask voters if the city
clerk should continue be an elected position, or should it be changed to an appointed position.
Julie Cuckler first was elected in 1984, and has been clerk for 31 years. Her eighth 4-year term ends in April, and she is thinking about retiring, but hasn’t made up her mind.
“I’ll be 62 next year,” she recently said. “If I do this for another 4 years, that would make me 66 when my term ends. I’m getting up there in age.”
In a meeting earlier this month, Councilman Mike Risko, who favors making it an appointed position, said “If there is one person who is not qualified for the position, but they decide to run and no one runs against, then you are stuck with that person for 4 years,” Risko said. “We want to make it more on a qualified basis, to where the mayor and City Council can create a criteria, job description and hire a person, just like a normal business.”

“The estimated cost of street repairs instead of just seal coating will be ongoing for several years and hundreds of thousands of dollars, but there are no hard figures yet,” Huggins said. “The water tower inspection will be around $2,500 to $3,500. Then repairs and painting the tower, depending on the outcome of the inspections, could be $80,000 or more.”
He said the sanitary sewer lining work scheduled for this year will be approximately $100,000,
and there are still two phases to go for east lift station at a possible cost of $800,000. City park handicap accessible improvements are estimated at $160,000.
A cover letter, survey form and a self-addressed stamped envelope will be mailed to all residents in the next coming weeks.
“We cannot stress enough how important it is for all residents to complete and return the survey, as well as to answer honestly,” she said. “A 75 percent response rate is required and all of the survey questions must be answered. It is important
that the survey be returned by July 1.”
Woodward said the information provided will be kept strictly confidential in accordance with the Privacy Act of 1974. Results of the survey will be compiled by Sharon Pepin of Community Funding and Planning Services. If you have any questions about CDAP grant programs or the survey, please contact Pepin at 815-947-8224.

Boy, has it been an exciting baseball season! You all are
more than aware that I am a huge baseball fan. Tucker has been playing it since he was 6 years old and the time and effort put into this sport has been huge at our house. It was more than exciting to see a close game for the Eastland Cougars to win the Regional. I know I was more than a little nervous when we were done but as the season has progressed, this team has grown leaps and bounds. That is the best part of the season is seeing them grow, but next time I hope we get our stuff together a little sooner!
While we didn’t win our sectional game, it is still quite impressive for a team mainly made up of freshman and sophomores. There is a lot of growing to come and a lot of games to win in our future.
Suzi Parron, a well-known
writer on barn quilts, will be coming to Carroll County in June. She is lined up to speak here at our offi ce at 7 p.m. on Tuesday, June 21. She will also be instructing a barn quilt painting class at our offi ce on Wednesday, June 22. For information on the barn quilt painting class, please contact our offi ce ASAP or visit our website as we do only have a few spots left.
Suzi travels full time by RV, speaking to quilt guilds, libraries, civic organizations — whoever would like to hear more about barn quilts! Her talk will take you on a journey along the quilt trail, beginning with the very fi rst barn quilt, which stemmed from Donna Sue Groves and her wish to honor her mother’s quilting art. The presentation features over one hundred stunning photographs of barn quilts, some of which rival cloth quilts in their intricacy. You will hear stories of some of
the individuals who have painted quilt blocks to honor loved ones or their local culture, along with a few humorous anecdotes.
The presentation is both informative and entertaining, as we explore the way in which our quilting heritage takes on new meaning as this movement continues to expand. In 2012, Suzi published the story of the quilt trail featuring 27 states and dozens of barn quilt stories. Mark your calendars now!
The Women’s Committee will be sponsoring a blood drive with the Rock River Valley Blood Center from noon until 5 p.m. on Monday, June 27. Appointments can be made by calling our offi ce at 815-244-3001.
The Annual Membership Appreciation Breakfast has been scheduled from 6:30 to 10:30 a.m. on Friday, June 24. Invitations will be mailed
soon. The Farm Bureau board and COUNTRY staff will be cooking and serving up the eggs, hash browns, whole hog sausage, and pancakes. There will be
many door prizes. We will also have fun packs for the kids as well. So put the date on your calendar and look for your invitation in the mail!

SAVANNA
BY MICHAEL MILLERFor Prairie Advocate
SAVANNA — It’s taken a while, but the City of Savanna has at last been given the OK by the Economic Development Administration to proceed with its official awarding of the bid to construct its new wastewater treatment plant. The City Council had previously approved the bid from Williams Brothers Construction, Inc. from Peoria for $8.64 million, and now the city can move ahead with officially awarding the work and beginning the construction
phase of the project.Superintendent of Public
Works John Lindeman said that an email had been sent to city officials from the EDA informing them of this approval. He expects Fischer Excavating will be back soon to finish the water main work on Bowen St. and the sewer portion of the project. He also hoped to find out when the in-system, or underground piping, portion behind the fire station would begin. Plans are to begin work on the sewer plant this month, with much more information for the next scheduled council meeting.
Personnel/Ordinance/Public Relations Committee Chairman Christine Lee said that discussion continues regarding the
city’s policy on citizens’ responsibility to repair sidewalks, but no firm answer yet in place. There was agreement that many citizens would still not be able to afford the requisite cash necessary to comply with the city’s current program, where the city performs the work to remove old sidewalks and pay for the concrete, but the citizen would be responsible for the cost of labor. They were investigating other avenues to help citizens, such as volunteers, reimbursement programs like those being done with building demolition, and other methods.
Mayor Tony McCombie recommended, and council approved, the following
individual appointments to the newly formed joint Planning and Zoning Board: Larry Melaas, Eric Hartman, and Roger Husband to three-year terms; Jim Freidenbach and Steve Haring to two-year terms; and Shawn Picolotti, to a one-year term.
Mitchell Ottenhausen, was appointed to the Police Pension board for a two-year term, and Robert Stretton III was appointed to a two-year term to the Fire Pension Board.
Council approved a request for funding for an all-department vehicle in the amount of $17,500. $15,000 was budgeted for this item, a 2014 Chevy Equinox, all-wheel drive with about 46,000 miles on it, priced at $17,777.27. The city’s Colorado used by the water
department is going to be traded in. The assumption is that the amount of the trade-in will more than make up for the difference between the requested funding amount and the price.
Council approved holding a city-wide yard sales event on June 10 and 11; this is not city or chamber sponsored, but the city wants to promote it and some of the businesses in town wanted to have a related sidewalk sales event to coincide.
Council also approved a resolution allowing, the area on Murray Street between Main and the alley east of Main to be used by the Chamber of Commerce for a First Friday Outdoor Movie on June 3. They also will allow the Fire Department
to use the state Route 64/84 intersection on July 23 and July 24.
Health insurance costs for city employees is going up by eight percent, and since the city only budgeted for a five percent increase, they entered closed session to discuss the discrepancy.
Council approved by a 5-3 margin a motion by Bill Robinson for the city to cover the increased costs, but would allow them to modify the amount of the employees’ contribution if the state would take away funds coming to the city. The actual policy will not change as the city is locked into it for one year. The nay votes were cast by Christine Lee, Jeff Griswold, and Pat Sanchez.
City gets OK to award sewer plant bidConstruction phase of project can now begin
BY MICHAEL MILLERFor Prairie Advocate
SAVANNA – A flurry of funding requests from various city departments included a 4-3 vote to approve a city hall electronic scrolling display sign for an estimated $19,898, but not before the importance of the sign was questioned.
Alderman Lisa Robinson asked if this was a good use of city funds, taking into account the unexpected expenses to rehab the city hall.
Original estimates for new flooring and trim for City Hall were under $13,000, the amount budgeted, Alderman Bill Robinson said. But as the contractors investigated, they found more issues with the previous work done at City Hall, increasing the request to $14,195.
Mayor Tony McCombie said that the new contractors told her that the questionable tiling should have lasted 70 years, but that because it was improperly laid, it is no good.
Lisa Robinson inquired about possible legal
action against the original contractor, but Attorney Phil Jensen said that because of the timing of the relevant bond period, the city now had no legal recourse.
“It’s unfortunate, and it’s a waste of taxpayer dollars, but it is what it is,” the mayor said, noting the importance of background checks when awarding a bid for work.
The city has $15,000 budgeted for the sign, with the balance to be paid for by donations. The sign will have a limestone base, with a concrete shell, and will be 10 feet by 36 inches by 48 inches in size. The scrolling display will be 85 by 19 inches. McCombie confirmed that the Savanna Rotary Club has promised to donate $3,000 of the
remaining $5,000.The sign will announce
community organizations upcoming events as well as city business.
The mayor said that this item has been in the budget for three years but has been passed over due to lack of funding. With the opportunity for additional funding from the Rotary Club it seemed a better time to move forward. She said if the council didn’t feel it was wise to pursue, they had the option to vote it down.
Bill Robinson said that the funding for the sign came from Hotel/Motel funds, for which there are strict limits on spending parameters.
Since there is an advertising component to the sign, it would qualify.
McCombie said the city was “sitting on those funds” and was hoping to use them for the bike trail head, but the grant for that project was lost, twice.
Alderman Peg Haffey hoped the sign would get the attention of the large amount of traffic that passed by City Hall every day.
Other department requests that were approved included three from public works. Two replacement computers at a cost not to exceed $4,000; and $47,880 for a skid loader, to replace a smaller one that will be relegated to lighter work. The new vehicle will allow the department to affix attachments for such duties as mowing the bike trail.
Consternation, then approval, of new signCity departments request more than $105K for 7 projects
Other Savanna council action:
• John Ashby is the city’s new ordi-nance officer and reported on his initial survey of various violations found. In addition to finding 52 yards in violation of mowing regulations, Ashby found unlicensed vehicles, appliances in yards, and various building code violations.
• Council unanimously approved pay-ment to Community Funding and Plan-ning Services for their work on grant administration for the CDAP Emergen-cy Public Infrastructure grant and the CDAP Disaster Grant for the in-system and wastewater treatment plant for a total of $4,650.
• Approved payment of an additional $5,500 to MSA Professional Services for the additional streets that were added to the city’s ongoing street repair project.
• Awarded the bid for the street repair project to Brandt Construction, total-ing $398,407, with only Lisa Robinson opposing. Lindeman said he’d let the council know more about a start date for the project at the next council meeting. Due to EDA technicalities, Lindeman said, the bid award for the wastewater treatment plant construc-tion cannot yet be finalized.

For the police department, a photocopy machine for $4,850, and replacement flooring in the amount of $7,576.74 was approved.
Jo Carroll Energy presented a proposal to the
city, whereby JCE would repair the alleys between Washington extending to Quincy Street, because they are digging a trench in this area for gas lines. Bill Robinson said they will clean and prime the alley, pave it with a half-inch leveling course, and overlay with a two-inch compacted hot mix, to an inch and a half.
Their proposal is that if the city pays for the necessary additional hot mix, they will overlay these alleys to a
thirteen foot width. “That’s dirt cheap,”
Robinson said. “The cost to the city would be between $18- $20,000, and the city has the funds for this agreement.”
“It’s a way for us to work smarter, at less cost to the taxpayer, which is the most important thing,” McCombie said.
Maintenance Supervisor John Lindeman said the time frame for completion will be about 90 days.

SAVANNA

SAVANNA – Motorcycle enthusiast Tim Mace has turned his love of bikes into a business.
On May 1, the 64-year-old Savanna man opened Hammer Down Speed Shop at 107 Madison St. He runs the business with Gary Speed, 73, his friend for more than 40 years.
The two sell motorcycles and parts, do repairs and build custom bikes.
“I can build bikes and Speed repairs them,” Mace said. “We started setting
things up last fall, and now we are getting things in so when people need something repaired or replaced, we can do that.”
They can repair any type
of bike, but Mace prefers Harley-Davidsons.
“I like Harleys because of the sounds they make, the comfort in the ride and they are a lot smoother,” he said. “We can work on any bike, if it comes down to it.”
Mace takes a laissez faire attitude about his hours: He gets to the shop around 8:30 a.m. every day, and stays open until there’s nothing else to do.
“If someone needs something done, we can get it done,” he said. “It depends on what the problem is and how important it is to get done.”
New motorcycle shop opensCruise on in
Hammer Down Speed Shop, 107 Madison St. in Savan-na, opens at 8:30 a.m. 7 days a week, and closes as owner Tim Mace sees fit.

LANARK — Eastland’s Junior High School track team completed its 2-month season on a high note.
“We started our season at the end of March, and had seven scheduled meets around the area. A total of 38 seventh- and eighth-grade athletes competed throughout the season in various events,” coach Rachel Todd said.
Both the seventh- and eighth-grade girls’ teams placed first at the conference meet in Lena, Todd said. The eighth grade boys took second place, and the seventh grade boys placed fifth.
“This was our first
season as a part of the Illinois Elementary School Association,” said Todd. “We competed at sectionals in Erie, and
then had 15 athletes qualify for IESA Class A state tournament in Peoria.”
Of the 15 athletes at the state meet, it was Karlie Krogman, a seventh-grade competitor in the discus and shot put, who came away with a medal by placing seventh in the state in the discus throw.
The other state qualifiers in the seventh-grade girls competition included Rachel Wilczynski, high jump; Mara Schmieder, 1,600-meter run; Chloe Bouvia, 100-meter dash; and the 4x200-meter relay team
of Haley Adams, Chloe Bouvia, Paige Bardell, Bailey Thede and Alyssa Miller.
For the eighth-grade girls, qualifiers were Meredith Janssen, long jump; Lydia Coatney and Dani Rush, shot put; Dani Rush, 100-meter dash; and 4x200-meter relay team of Meredith Janssen, Erin Henze, Dani Rush, Anna Wilhelm and Lydia Coatney.
The eighth-grade boys qualifiers were Stephen Reifsteck, 1600-meter run; and Ian Kromer, 100-meter dash.

The tour includes visits to the Flight 93 crash site in Pennsylvania; the Gettysburg Civil War battlefield; Arlington National Cemetery; Changing of the Guard; War Memorials in Washington; and the Smithsonian Institute.
Gibbs said the estimated cost per couple will be $500 to $700, and will be determined when registration is complete on June 15.

STILLMAN VALLEY SECTIONAL
May 24Stillman Valley 4, Sterling
Newman 0Morrison 8, Byron 0: Lauren
Pannier was nearly untouchable. In six innings of work in a 2A Stillman Valley Sectional semifi nal, the Fillies pitcher struck out 13 and allowed just one hit, an infi eld single, as Morrison beat Byron 8-0 Tuesday. Pannier struck out the fi rst fi ve batters she saw in the game, then struck out two more in the third before allowing her fi rst baserunner on an error. A strikeout ended that inning and stranded the runner, giving Pannier eight strikeouts in three innings of work.
“She was hitting her spots,” Morrison coach Tammy Deter said. “She had her spins working and everything was going good, so it was a great outing for her.”
Morrison (24-7) only had to face one situation with a Byron runner in scoring position in the game. That came with runners on fi rst and second with two outs in the sixth, and Pannier induced a slow roller to Stralow at fi rst to end the inning.
“They couldn’t catch on to her movement, because she’s been great,” Morrison catcher Lauren Vos said.
The Fillies gave Pannier a lead in the third. With Emma Melton
on second, Vos hit a dribbler up the line toward third. Byron third baseman Allison Kultgen looked Melton back to the bag, but that delay was enough for Vos to be safe at fi rst. After Kultgen threw, Melton took off for third, sliding in safely ahead of the throw. As she did that, Vos took off for second, also beating the throw.
As Byron second baseman Gabrielle Schmidt turned to look at the umpire following the call, she did not see Melton break for home, scoring to put the Fillies in the lead.
“As soon as I saw the ball go through, I knew I had to outsmart [Schmidt],” Melton said.
Morrison broke through with fi ve runs in the fi fth. After the Fillies loaded the bases, Stralow singled in Emily Szabo. Sitzmore and Steines followed with hits, each driving in two more. Vos and Sitzmore drove in runs in the sixth and seventh to pad the lead.
“We knew she was throwing outside curveballs on us, so we adjusted by moving closer to the plate so we could get to those
outside pitches,” Vos said. – SVM article by Eric Ingles
May 28Stillman Valley 13, Morrison 0
(6 inn.): Stillman Valley showed its hand. Turns out it was full of cards that Morrison had not seen before. The Fillies had no answer for an aggressive steal attempt, and the Cardinals ran their way to a 13-0, six-inning win in the Class 2A Stillman Valley Sectional championship game on Saturday in Davis Junction. The Cardinals advanced to the Illinois Central College Supersectional. Stillman Valley had its way on the basepaths. When the Cardinals had a situation with runners on fi rst and second, the batter would show bunt, drawing Morrison third baseman Madison Steines in to cover. Once Steines crept up, the Cardinals executed a double-steal, easily swiping third as shortstop Jaeden Workman couldn’t race over to cover the bag in time.
This happened fi ve times over the course of six innings.
Morrison couldn’t adjust to the
play. What started off as runners on fi rst and second quickly became two runners in scoring position, and the Cardinals took advantage. They erupted for six runs in the third to break open the game, added two more in the fi fth, and closed out the win with four runs in the sixth. Six of the Cardinals’ 13 runs scored on singles after a double-steal put the runners in scoring position.
“It’s really, really hard to defend, because you know you have to cover third, and also try to cover the hole in short if they pull the bunt back and swing,” Workman said. “This is the fi rst time we’ve seen it all season. They went crazy with it, and we just tried to stop it.”
Morrison starter Lauren Pannier wasn’t hit hard, but didn’t have much help behind her. She allowed
six hits and seven runs (three earned) in 2 1/3 innings. Brooke Stralow didn’t have much success, either; she allowed six earned runs and eight hits in 3 2/3 innings.

Class 1A baseball sectional scores
RIVER RIDGE SECTIONALMay 25Dakota 6, Eastland 0: The box
score will read that Dakota junior ace Cade Meier threw a complete game with just three hits allowed. Nobody would have thought he could have gone all seven innings in a 6-0 victory over Eastland in the Class 1A River Ridge Sectional semifinals after a mound visit from head coach Chris Klouser in the first.
“I looked at him and said ‘Coach, I’ve got this,’” Meier said. “I’ve pitched in big games before. I knew I was going to find it.” “I was more concerned with how he was sliding around on the mound,” Klouser said. “It’s a big game, and kids are nervous. I told him he didn’t have to do anything special. He seemed to settle down then.” Meier escaped a bases-loaded jam in the first by striking out the side.
He then found his groove in the following innings; through four frames, Meier struck out 10 Eastland hitters.
However, he wasn’t even the best pitcher early on. Not to be outdone, Eastland senior Zack Randecker breezed through the Indian lineup, and was perfect through four innings. Things changed in the top of the fifth. Dakota center fielder Hunter Knox blasted a triple to the fence to lead off the inning. Noah Zellmer came up next, and drilled a comebacker right off the leg of Randecker as Knox raced home for the first run of the game.
Still, Eastland coach Weston Burkholder decided to stick with his ace. “It was his game with him being the only senior and a leader for us,” Burkholder said. “It just wasn’t our day.”
The Cougars never had a big inning of their own, but there it still plenty of optimism around Eastland baseball.
“We should be pretty set next year,” Burkholder said. “A 20-win season for us is great. A lot of kids stepped up big. Eastland baseball is back. I expect good things next year.”
– SVM article by Adam FeinerFreeport Aquin 5, Milledgeville
4: Wednesday’s Class 1A River Ridge Sectional semifinal between Aquin and Milledgeville was supposed to be close – and it definitely lived up to the billing. But Aquin showed its resiliency by overcoming four errors and coming up with a nail-biting 5-4 win over the Missiles.
Cole Luedeking got things started for the Bulldogs in the bottom of the first inning. He smacked a triple to right, scoring Jackson Holder. The sophomore centerfielder then raced home after an overthrow to make it 2-0. Senior Simon
Diemer added onto the lead in the fourth. His screamer of a line drive ricocheted off Missiles starter Cade Schave into shallow left field, allowing Cooper Arndt to score from second. Colby Smith added an RBI groundout in the fifth to give Aquin a 4-0 lead.
Meanwhile, Bulldogs ace Zac Cummins was rolling on the mound. But in an effort to possibly save him for Saturday’s sectional final against rival Dakota, head coach Todd Kramer decided to pull him after four strong innings.
The Missiles took advantage two innings later. Sophomore Matthew Biller singled to score pinch runner Carson Boyer to get the Missiles on the board in the sixth. After a Buddy Bibler single, Schave brought Milledgeville to within a run with a single that scored Biller and Bibler. A throwing error by Bulldogs shortstop Tim Harrington on a fielder’s choice allowed Schave to touch home and tie the game at 4-4.
“It was big to have an inning like that, especially when they took Cummins out,” Milledgeville coach Kirk Engelkins said. “We knew
we had to capitalize. I was really hoping the momentum would carry over.”
But the Bulldogs bit right back in the bottom of the sixth to go ahead for good. A Milledgeville error allowed Harrington to reach second base, in scoring position for pinch hitter Cooper Arndt. The sophomore hit what looked like what would be a double-play ball to second, but Jack Munz couldn’t handle it, allowing Harrington to score and retake the lead.
Aquin reliever Bryce Carlson executed a flawless seventh inning to seal the win, and send the Missiles home after the program’s first regional title since Engelkens was a player on the 2009 Milledgeville-Polo co-op.
