Selma-March, 1965By James Middleton

A common default of some writers when they consider the recent past is they must not assume that their readers have a clear recollection or understanding of the recent past. For example, on Monday, the nation celebrated the birth of the civil rights leader and clergyman, the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King. Though there are many that lived through the 1950s and 1960s and what has commonly been called, the “Civil Rights Era,” there remain many that were not born in 1965 or there are many that have forgotten.

Certain examples of human behavior seem to occur for no explainable reason other than the times were in syncopation with the need for change. For more than a century the Emancipation Proclamation that was signed by President Abraham Lincoln had been in effect. Yet, Black-American’s still lived under the burden of being denied access to certain events, not being welcomed to certain restaurants and they had to use outdoor restrooms and were denied inside facilities. These elements prospered across the American southeast, the Midwest and even on the east and the west coast. The prejudice was more veiled outside the southeast.

The Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King began to ask questions in his small church in Atlanta and he was inspired to pursue those answers after a small woman, Rosa Parks refused to sit in the back of a city bus in Birmingham Alabama when she was riding home from her housekeeping job. The audacity of her move inspired Dr. King and he persuaded others to follow his lead to practice a form of nonviolent protest that resembled the steps taken by Gandhi in India when he sought to throw off the shackles of British imperialism.

One target Dr. King and his followers aimed to reach was Montgomery Alabama. However, their path to Montgomery began in Selma where the photograph shown here was shot. The first march to reach Montgomery occurred on Sunday, March 7, 1965. The day became known as “Bloody Sunday.” More than 600 civil rights marchers were confronted, some said attacked, as they began their trek from Selma to protest the death of Jimmie Lee Jackson and the denial of voting rights for Black-Americans.

As a result of that day and what was seen on black-and-white television screens and on front pages of national newspapers, a second march was scheduled to occur the following Tuesday, March 9, 1965. For that event more than 2,500 people came to march with Dr. King. That march crossed the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma before the collection of marchers turned around without going further.

The situation had changed by March 16, 1965 from what was the case on March 7. On “Bloody Sunday,” Alabama State Police, at the behest of Alabama Governor George Wallace confronted the marchers with billy-clubs and dogs and fire hoses blasting water at them to stop their march. For that day, the events were recorded by journalists and TV reporters and shown around the world. By March 16, because of the public outcry that condemned the police tactics that were employed, the Alabama State Police provided protection for the marchers from those that wanted to incite another riot as what was the case earlier in Selma.

The marchers left Selma on March 16 and slowly moved north to Montgomery. Their goal was to reach the Alabama State Capital where they would stage a protest to obtain civil rights for Black-Americans. More than 2,000 soldiers from the US Army and 1,900 Alabama National Guardsmen lined US Route #80 that was used by the marchers as their route to Montgomery. They arrived in Montgomery on March 24, 1965 and the next day they reached the Alabama State Capital.

The organizers of the March 7 march included John Lewis who is today a Senator from Georgia and Hosea Williams who was the leader then of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference. Mr. Williams lived out the rest of his life as a civil rights activist in Atlanta before dying in 2000. Dr. King was not a part of the first march that was stopped by Alabama State police and dogs.

Dr. King organized and led the second march on Tuesday March 9 and he was also instrumental in organizing the march on March 16 that reached Montgomery. Former Alabama Governor George Wallace condemned the marches as a threat to public safety and he declared that he would take all measures “necessary” to prevent future marches from occurring. However, the club-wielding state police, snarling dogs and high-pressure water hoses were trumped by the nonviolent demonstrators. It was Wallace who reluctantly ordered the Alabama National Guard to accompany the marchers on March 16.

The activities that led to the recognition by citizens across

the nation were encapsulated into a short period of time. Little more than a week of marches and activities persuaded many in the nation that changes had to occur. There were other marches and many other demonstrations with more billy-clubs, snapping dogs and high-pressure water hoses before significant civil rights legislation was enacted.

The passing of these laws did not immediately halt all discrimination across the nation. Though some choose to focus their anger and concern on the southeast and southern states as the marquee for discrimination, these activities occurred in the Midwest and across the nation. In the south, the discrimination was personal and impossible to deny. The discrimination elsewhere was shielded from public view but the recognition was also impossible to deny.

Many today are too young to remember that Selma and Montgomery Alabama will forever remain pivotal sites in the march to allow Black-American’s to reach a point of greater civil rights. For those that might have forgotten, now you might remember having seen those cloudy images on a black-and-white TV on that “Bloody Sunday.”

Candidates Running In February Primary And April ElectionsBy James Middleton

Those that thought the election cycle had ended after November 6, 2012 were wrong. More elections are planned as on February 26 there will be a Primary Election in Boone County. The Consolidated Election will follow on April 9 when those nominated from the Primary Election will pass through the final election process.

Such offices as the mayor of Belvidere, aldermen to serve on the City Council will be chosen. New members will be chosen to serve on the Board of Education at Belvidere School District #100 and North Boone School District #200. Other offices will be chosen to serve as township supervisors and township trustees.

Throughout this process, some offices are Partisan in designation and other offices are nonpartisan. Partisan races require a candidate to declare a specific party affiliation such as being a Democrat or a Republican. Voters that go to the polls to engage in the primary voting process declare their party affiliation and vote according to their desire. Nonpartisan races do not participate in primary voting and those candidates move into the April Consolidated Election.

In Belvidere, the mayoral race is a Partisan race as are the aldermanic positions that are up for decision. The mayoral race in Belvidere has four announced candidates that include Republican candidate and current alderman serving on the City Council from the Third Ward, Michael Chamberlain. Andrew Racz is running as a Democratic candidate who had served for many years as an alderman from the First Ward.

Two candidates are running as Independents with no party affiliation. Those candidates include Edward Marx a downtown property owner and businessman and Mark Sanderson, a current alderman serving from the Fifth Ward.

Long-serving city clerk, Shauna Arco a Republican will be challenged in the primary voting by Joanne Riley who is also a Republican.

One candidate is running for Belvidere treasurer, Republican, Frederic C. Brereton, Jr.

In the aldermanic races, the First Ward has current alderman Clint Morris running unopposed. In the Second Ward, Republican Samantha Brown and Independent

candidate Verla Olson will vie for that office in April voting. In the Third Ward, Thomas Ratcliffe a Republican

is running unopposed. In the Fourth Ward Incumbent Republican George Crawford is challenged by Democrat Francis Egan in April voting. And in the Fifth Ward, Republican Chris Berner will be challenged in April voting by Independent James Campbell.

Voters in April will also decide the configuration of the Board of Education in Belvidere School District #100 and in North Boone School District #200. In District #100, there are six announced candidates to fill four vacancies.

Incumbent’s members of the Board that have chosen not to run include current Board President Richard Van Evera, current Board secretary Julia Norem, Douglas Smiley and Darrell Fox. Mr. Van Evera and Ms. Norem have both served over a number of terms with Ms. Norem for serving over 20 years.

Candidates that will vie for election to the Board in April include Stacy McGowan, William Lee Baird, Robert

Dist. #100 AdministratorsExplain Budget OptionsBy James Middleton

There was no accurate count of the total number of residents that attended the Tuesday Belvidere School District #100 Board meeting at Belvidere North High School. Custodians were told to set out 500 chairs in the cafeteria. When the meeting was gaveled to order, most of those chairs were occupied.

Because of the national holiday celebrating the birth of Reverend Martin Luther King, the usual Monday school board meeting was cancelled to occur on Tuesday. The ostensible reason so many attended was to find out how the district planned to manage a potential $10 million deficit in the current school year budget and projected annual deficits of varying size unless the district made budget cuts. Everyone came to hear what those cuts could be.

Board President Richard Van Evera called the meeting to order and told the audience how the meeting would be conducted. He asked that applause, shouts and interruptions not occur and signs should not be waved to make a point.

The meeting moved rapidly to the administrative report where District #100 Superintendent Michael Houselog delivers information about the district and news from the administration. Mr. Houselog said that the administrator’s planned to deliver three PowerPoint reports with the first being a statement of the short-term history of the district. A second presentation would be chaired by a representative of a consulting group the district has used for future financial projections. Finally, administrators would present ideas for cutting the budget to better manage the projected future deficits.

Last November administrators told the Board that unless the district made significant budget cuts, they could expect to show deficits ranging from $8 million per year to almost $10 million per year in their operating budget over the next five years. Projections provided by PMA Financial Network from Naperville moved administrators to evaluate a wide range of options that included closing one high school consolidating the middle schools and perhaps closing one, two or even three elementary schools and making proportional cuts across the district.

In the December Board meeting administrators evaluated the district financial condition and reported options for

members to consider. The path then led to the January Board meeting when the public would be informed of the options administrators were contemplating.

First, District #100 chief financial officer, Greg Brown reported how the district arrived at the current point. He explained growth rates and how all projections the district had suggested that growth would continue at a 3.5 percent rate with the student population by 2012—2013 to reach from 11,000 students to 12,000 students. The current enrollment stands at 8,500 students and it is expected by 2018 enrollment to drop below 8,000 students.

Mr. Brown said that administrators relied on population estimates provided by the University of Illinois and other groups. The natural growth rate and the migratory growth rate were expected to continue to rise. Natural growth rates are the difference between the number of births and the number of deaths in a community. Migratory growth rates calculate the level of entry of new people into the community. During the late 1990s and early years of the new millennium, migratory growth rates were high.

Today the natural growth rate has flattened and the migratory growth rate is negative. The school enrollment over the next few years is expected to decline.

Mr. Brown also discussed the status of federal and state funding. According to Mr. Brown, most of the federal funding is gone and state funding is in decline. There was a large increase in General State Aid (GSA) funding from Illinois prior to the beginning of construction on Belvidere North High School. That increase combined with increases in property taxation allowed the new high school to be opened and staffed without an increase in Education Fund taxation.

Finding an End to Bigotry Without Compromising Discretion

Many events coincide this week that are unique to this one moment. As is the case every week in the Jewish faith, Shabbat was observed on Saturday. That day marks the seventh day of the week coinciding with the teachings in the Talmud saying that on that day, God rested and so should man. The Shabbat observance also acknowledges the exodus of Jewish slaves from Egypt and their trek to the mythical “promised land.” Slaves and slavery has a lot to do with the events that occurred this week.

Monday marked the annual celebration of the birth of the American civil rights leader, Martin Luther King who also has a connection to slavery. This week also marked the second inauguration of President Barack Obama in Washington DC and his return to power also bears a connection to the expired American institution of slavery.

With all of this occurring it is appropriate to ponder if bigotry can be eliminated from the American culture without compromising discretion. Some editorial writers have lamented their perception of the current condition of the “American Soul.” Some claim that the path to equality has a long way to go to reach a point where the fulcrum will equally spilt the scale and all men stand on equal footing. Certainly, there is more to be done but a lot has been accomplished.

Many spokespeople, actors and politicians that have taken up the banner of racial equality collected this week at the statue commemorating Dr. Martin Luther King in Washington DC. They orated, they sang, they shared reminiscences in an event described as a “healing event.” However, there were few Asian-American’s that attended, there were few Native American’s, there were few Hispanic-American’s and there were fewer Caucasian-American’s that came.

An Op/Ed in the Washington Post claimed, “We are still not good enough,” and that view is correct. Yet, the condition of this nation has changed in many significant ways since 1863 when President Abraham Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation that was designed to free the slaves and to bring an end to the Civil War. The nation went to war, ostensibly, because elected officials could not resolve the moral, ethical and economic questions of the institution of slavery.

What resulted after the issuance of the Proclamation was decades of bigotry that sustains for some today and will be evident tomorrow. A network of laws enacted during the Reconstruction Period suppressed the rights of Black-American’s and denied them equality in this nation. Yet over those decades and due to many spokesmen, the condition became self-evident that the public could no longer allow “White Only” bathrooms or drinking fountains and that Black-Americans deserved to vote. These changes benefitted all American’s and those from all ethnic, racial and sexual groups that had previously felt discrimination and bigotry that denied them the God-given opportunity to prosper in this nation.

Yet, many would argue that bigotry remains a cancer that continues to thrive. In the presidential campaign that ended in November 2012, some commentators claimed that bigotry played a role in one campaign. The claim of racial bias was articulated by some that disagreed with ideas advanced by others as a means to silence them. Yet, there was seldom any evidence provided to support

these claims that one party was racially bigoted in their political stance. However, the claims of bigotry were made without reference to discretion.

The Merriam-Webster Dictionary defines “Bigotry” as, “The state of mind of a bigot.” The Dictionary further defines the word, “Bigot” as, “A person who is obstinately or intolerantly devoted to his or her own opinions and prejudices; especially: one who regards or treats the members of a group (as a racial or ethnic group) with hatred and intolerance.” The same Dictionary defines “Discretion” as, “The quality of having or showing discernment or good judgment; the quality of being discreet.” A second definition of “discretion” cites, “Ability to make responsible decisions.”

What we need in today’s America is more discretion and less bigotry. However, it is relevant to cite that discretion expressed by one can be identified as bigotry by another. The root problem is found in the perception of one or the other that could engage in conflict more from a political point than from a direct affront to ones race, sex, ethnicity or sexual preference.

Our modern media culture advances one perception over another through the act of parsing words beyond a simplistic discovery of the grammatical role of a word but to plumb into indefinable or the indiscernible “intent” of the speaker when he spoke words or phrases in dispute. Opinion-makers promote their unsupported and mythical perception at what a speaker’s intent was without asking the speaker what that intent was when he spoke.

This parsing of words is done to advance one political perception over another. It is unfortunate that the memory of Dr. Martin Luther King could be soiled by those that seek to ignore advances that have occurred. Those that would deny those advances having occurred often want to do so to obtain atonement for past sins from those today that had nothing to do with the institutionalization of previous prejudice.

All citizens here should reflect upon where we stand in relation to others and to not ignore anyone’s right to make discretionary decisions. Some lament that we as a body of people remain fixed on the cliff of a cave. They claim that we gaze out over a plain and all that we have accomplished is to invent a more dangerous rock to hurl at the people outside the cave without striving to understand them, to integrate with them and to work together with them to create a better culture for all. What man can imagine the physical agony of prenatal labor or the release that is felt immediately post-natal? No man can imagine.

The goal to accomplish deeper understanding of the races, the sexes and the differing ethnicities of men can occur by adopting the philosophy that Buddha advanced, “When you stop trying to change others and work on changing yourself, your world changes for the better.”

In a similar context, Dr. King said, “An individual has not started living until he can rise above the narrow confines of his individualistic concerns to the broader concerns of humanity.” Would that we could hear these words repeated this week and witness actions to move those words into practice but it is uncertain if these words will be heard again by those that are asking for change using the loudest voice.

current members Thomas Kinser, Laura Zwart and Glen Grazt have chosen not to run for reelection.

Other announced candidates besides Mr. Ward include Brian Reininger of Poplar Grove, Thomas Moon of Capron and Matt Ellingson of Caledonia.

Candidates running for office in Poplar Grove include John Nietzel seeking reelection as village President and long-serving village clerk Martha Suhr is also seeking reelection. Both are running unopposed.

Those seeking office as village trustees include incumbents Dan Bowden and Judith Zangs along with newly announced candidate, Owen Costanza. Current trustee, Clifford Stetter has announced that he will not seek reelection.

Finally, Belvidere Township will appear in primary as Les Reid a long-standing resident of the area seeks election as Township Supervisor. The current Township Supervisor Patrick Murphy and another long-standing resident in the area is seeking reelection to that office.

There is a race for the Belvidere Township Highway Commissioner with incumbent Richard Lee being challenged by Kenneth McBee.

Five have announced their candidacy for Township Trustee with incumbents Robert Turner and Bill Robertson seeking reelection. They are challenged by Kathy Grover, Richard Nelson and Catherine Ward. Ms. Ward also serves as a County representative on the Boone County Board (District 2).

The question before the Belvidere City Council asks, “Should the city pay a bill before all of the work is finished?” The City Council answered, “No” in their Monday meeting when what was described as a final bill from the artist John Berry came to the attention of city aldermen.

For months the matter of the city murals has been a consideration that has reappeared with regularity. When surplus money was obtained from the ending of the downtown Tax Incremental Funding (TIF) District the Boone County Council for the Arts presented a proposal to the city to renovate the existing murals for $90,000.

That matter was discounted by Alderman Daniel Snow (Ward 2) who moved the council to cut the requested grant by $50,000. The council approved the move and used the $50,000 to completely redo Parking Lot #2 on South State Street across from Manley Motors.

A local resident suggested international artist and former resident John Berry as someone that could renovate the existing murals for $42,500. That bid was accepted by the City Council and Mr. Berry offered to renovate the existing murals for $35,000 and to create two new murals for the remainder of the bid amount of $42,500 with a project discount if accepted.

To date, Mr. Berry has restored the existing murals in town but has not yet begun work to create the two new murals that were specified in a contract he signed with the city. However, what was described as a final bill for Mr. Berry’s work was delivered to the city for the total remaining amount due of $12,750. The two new murals

have not been installed.When the debate arose Monday evening, Mr. Snow said,

“I have been looking at the proposals and I thought he was to restore the murals. The Pepsi mural is not a restored version of the Pepsi mural.” Mr. Snow added, “The agreement clearly says to ‘maintain’ the murals, not to change them. I’m not comfortable approving this check.”

Mr. Snow then moved that the payment of city claims be amended to withhold the check in the amount of $12,750 that had been invoiced from Mr. Berry until further consideration at a future committee meeting.

Alderman Clint Morris (Ward 1) said, “You were absent last week, (Mayor pro-tem Michael Chamberlain served in place of Mayor Frederic Brereton who was absent) as I recall, we had talked about this. The murals now look

Boone County Veteran’s Assistance Commission Message:

T he article in the Rockford Newspaper, January 16, 2013, stated that the Superintendent of the new Boone County Veterans’ Assistance Commission would be paid $60,000 per year. (This would be the only paid person for the V.A.C. once hired.) It should have stated that he/she would be paid a maximum of $30,000. I hope this clears up any confusion that this misprint has caused. D uring this dismal economy, it is not easy for us to ask you for .03 cents on the assessed dollar real estate tax increase. The Boone County board provided us with figures on 1/16/13 of what the tax will really cost if you have a home assessed at $100,000. Your added tax would be approximately $8.20 per year. If your home’s assessed valuation is $150,000, you would pay approximately $13.20 in added taxes per year. P lease remember this is the 1st time in the history of Boone County that your Veterans have ever asked you for your hard earned money in the form of a tax referendum. The Commission will make sure that how your money is spent will be very transparent. We have already had people come forward to ask how they can help us. W e really need your vote if you believe in having a Veterans Assistance Commission. Email gkelm@vfw1461 with questions or if you would like to help. We will find the most reasonable media to keep our community informed.

Count on us for fair, friendly service!However, recent cuts in GSA funding and a policy of

“proration” that began in 2012 had a detrimental impact on the financial condition of District #100. The GSA funding remained static from 2010 and is expected to remain at $6,119 per student into 2014 but the policy of proration takes additional state revenue and removes those payments. For example, funding to public school districts to offset transportation costs has been cut and will likely soon disappear.

Mr. Brown added that cuts to the current and future budgets must occur or the district could run out of their reserve funding.

Greg Kubitz a senior financial advisor at the PMA Financial Network explained the current financial condition of the district. His firm has counseled District #100 for 10 years and he presented the history of the district and assumptions used to project future financial needs.

The Equalized Assessed Valuation (EAV) that is the calculation of real property values and the basis for calculating property taxes has dropped consistently since 2008. One assumption made has the EAV declining by more than 9 percent in 2011 with expected small increases through 2013 until a slight positive growth by 1.33 percent in 2014. However, the EAV is expected to be static at slightly more than 3.5 percent until 2018 and perhaps later. Further, the potential of new residential growth in the area shows a flat rate at perhaps $10 million per year into 2018 and beyond.

Mr. Kubitz agreed with Mr. Brown that state aid will continue to decline with proration running at 80 percent for fiscal years 2014 through 2018. Federal aid will not reappear and other state revenue through grants is also not expected to increase.

District expenditures such as salaries and benefits could see salaries increase by perhaps 2.5 percent and medical insurance coverage increases at 10 percent through 2015. The increases could drop to 8 percent through 2016 and perhaps 5 percent later.

Deficits are expected to run from more than $6.6 million in 2013 to perhaps $3.9 million due to expected retirements and cost reductions to hire replacements, to again reach more than $6.8 million by 2018. Along with the increasing deficits that will be paid from reserves, those fund balances will be expected to be in constant decline from $32 million in 2013.

Mr. Kubitz explained that Fiscal Year 2017 is pivotal year in that reserve funding could reach an end and the district could need to seek borrowed funding to meet payroll for that year. The cuts that are proposed will slow the decline of reserve capital but unless the district can reach a point of balancing their budgets, the decline will continue. He also explained that there are many elements of these projections that are uncertain such as how the state will manage the teacher’s pension issue. Yet today, there remains no resolution to that question.

The final presentation had Mr. Brown providing a rundown of the administrator’s suggestions for cutting the budget to avoid extinguishing the reserve funding on hand. In December the Board saw a number of options with some of those options having potential cost savings affixed to them. Others needed further study.

Mr. Brown opened with Option #1 that proposes consolidating both high schools and both middle schools. The savings in employment reductions and operating expenses to drop from four separate buildings to two could amount to over $4.3 million.

Along with that option, the district could also restructure

From Page 2... Dist. 100

administrative jobs, combine athletic teams and eliminate what were called “high cost/low impact clubs, teams in exchange for college/career readiness.” It has also been proposed to eliminate the “Running State” bus routes that could save more than $35,000. Combining athletic teams could save more than $700,000. The district has also considered charging fees for non-mandated transportation services and increasing participation fees for students in athletics and extra-curricular activities.

Item #7 proposed Reconfiguration A that could attain more than $6 million in savings. The plan would combine both high schools and middle schools, closing Kishwaukee Elementary School and Perry Elementary School.

Reconfiguration B was similar to Reconfiguration A, but with no change for students at Perry Elementary School. The savings from

this plan could equal more than $5.4 million.Another plan, Reconfiguration C1 would have the high

schools and middle schools being consolidated with grades 10 through 12 at North HS and grades seven through nine in Belvidere High School. The savings here could total over $5.5 million.

Reconfiguration C2 would have high schools and middle schools being consolidated with Caledonia and Kishwaukee elementary schools being consolidated in the Central Middle School. The expected savings here could total more than $6 million.

Reconfiguration D would have both high schools remaining open and closure of Kishwaukee Elementary and Belvidere South Middle School. The savings here could total just under $3 million.

Reconfiguration E is similar to D but with the closure of Caledonia Elementary School for a projected savings of just over $3 million. Reconfiguration F is similar to D and E but with consolidating of many programs for elementary, middle and high school. The saving from this plan could total over $4.5 million.

Other ideas that Mr. brown discussed included combining bus stops, charging students for summer school and reevaluating Washington Academy. That plan two years ago altered Washington Elementary School into a magnet school with an emphasis on mathematics, science and technology. No specific changes were addressed here other than to express another suggestion that would have Perry Elementary students move to Washington Academy.

Other ideas included renting space in vacant buildings for a profit, changing school boundaries and closing inefficient buildings and modifying the school year for year-around classes.

None of the ideas expressed by Mr. Brown aroused extended debate or consideration by the Board members. However, one Board member expressed his opinion and that was Mike Rathbun. Other Board members asked questions but Mr. Rathbun expressed an opinion on the process. Last year Mr. Rathbun spoke out regarding his desire not to move elementary students to new schools.

Mr. Rathbun said, “The whole issue is so huge and complex. If we must decide by March we are rushing this. If we take the next year to focus on this we will still have $24 million in reserves and we will have had time to put thought into this. We can look at smaller items to realize some savings. We need to take more time with this.” Mr. Rathbun concluded by repeating, “We are really rushing this.”

No other Board members replied to what he said. Mr. Houselog announced future meetings planned when

this topic will again come before the public. A special meeting is planned at Belvidere North High School on February 4 that will be open solely for public comment on what was presented in the January meeting. The regular Board meeting occurs on February 19 when public comment will be heard. It is during that meeting when Board members expect to refine their vision and could propose a plan for budget cuts.

Another special meeting will occur on March 4 that will be another event dedicated to public comment. Finally, the March Board meeting on March 18 is likely when the Board will adopt a plan that could include school closures and other methods to cut the budget. That meeting will also be open for public comment.

All of these special and regular Board meetings through March will be held at Belvidere North High School and will convene at 6 p.m.

The U.S. Military’s endorsement of wind energy

Did you know… a new report indicates that annual spending on renewable energy by the Department of Defense (DOD) will reach $10 billion by 2030 because a “fossil fuel dependent war machine is vulnerable” and “environmental security is a key element to national security.” Said Clint Wheelcock, president of the research firm that authored the report, “The DOD is positioned to become the single most important driver of the cleantech revolution in the United States.” (*)

Did you know… that the U.S. Department of Defense and the Navy entered into an agreement with a wind farm developer recently to install a 100-turbine wind farm near two military bases near the Gulf Coast, one of which serves as the site of Navy jet pilot training operations? “The Navy is at the forefront of alternative energy use and production, and the Navy supports such projects when they are compatible with our mission,” said Rear Adm. Jack Scorby. The agreement was significant in that it allows all parties “to work cooperatively to meet the desired goals of supporting military operations and readiness simultaneously with the production of renewable energy.” (**)

Did you know… that in a recent interview, U.S. Army Brigadier General Steven M. Anderson spoke out against the construction of the Keystone XL pipeline, warning that “all Americans should be outraged” about the national security implications of the project because the pipeline “keeps us hopelessly addicted to oil.” Moreover, said Gen. Anderson, “We’ve had over 1,000 Americans killed moving fuel -- moving liquid fuel -- in Iraq and Afghanistan over the last ten years…I want to stop paying big oil and I want to start seeing a green economy in this nation. We’ve already seen by virtue of Hurricane Sandy and Katrina and others that the world is changing, and we’ve got to do something about the way we expend energy.” (***)

Chase the Winter Chills Away with Hearty SoupsBy Lisa Rodgers

Soups are versatile, inexpensive, and warm you up on a cold, winter day. They are nourishing and comforting and can be served every time of day. There are soups for everyone‘s taste, from the most delicate broth to the heartiest chowder. The varieties of soups, as well as the list of possible ingredients are endless. They are a good way to use the small quantities of leftover meat and vegetables that accumulate in the refrigerator. .

Marilyn Csernus, MS, RD, CDE is the Nutrition & Wellness Educator University of Illinois Extension. Marilyn serves Boone, DeKalb, & Ogle Counties. Marilyn said, “This is the first time we will be offering this class. The fee is only $5 to attend. I will be discussing the basics of soup preparation, soup ingredients, storage, garnishes & croutons, soup bowls, and nutritional significance of soups.”

Marilyn explained, “Everyone is trying to stretch the dollar. It is more cost effective to eat at home rather than eat out. Our program offers many benefits as it helps promote health and wellness and information on how nourishing soups can be. We are eating too many processed foods which have added fat and sugar. We are not eating enough whole foods and whole grains.”

White Chicken ChiliIngredients:• 1 pound dry navy beans• 6 cups low sodium chicken broth• 2 cloves garlic, minced• 2 medium onions, finely chopped• 4 oz. can chopped green chilies• ¼ tsp. ground cloves• 1 ½ tsp. dried oregano• 2 tsp. ground cumin• ¼ tsp. cayenne pepper• 4 cups cooked chicken, dicedDirections:Soak beans overnight, drain and discard water. Combine beans, broth, garlic

and onion in a large kettle and bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer until beans are very soft, about 2 hours. Add more broth if needed. Add chilies, oregano, cloves, cumin and cayenne. Mix well. Add chicken and simmer for 1 more hour.White Chili will be just one of the recipes available from the University of Illinois Extension at the Chase the Winter Chills Away with Hearty Soups. Marilyn concluded by saying, “We offered a crock pot class this past fall and plan to offer it again in the fall of 2013. We had 30+ attend in each county. We have had positive feed back from this and we are hoping to have good attendance for the Hearty Soups. We offer a unique opportunity as we have cooking demonstrations with 2 or 3 samples. All of our recipes will be available to take home.”

Chase the Winter Chills Away with Hearty SoupsFebruary 1 from 11:00am to 12:00pm. Fee is $5.The University of Illinois Extension will also be offering:Meals for a Healthy Heart2 sessions. February 21st and 28th from 10:00-12:00. Fee is $15. I on Diabetes-4 session beginning March 4th, 11th, 18th and 25th from 2:30 to 5:30.

The Boone County Journal can help!!

The Illinois Association of Agricultural Fairs held its 103rd annual convention at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Springfield, Illinois on Jan-uary 19, 2013. John (Jack) and Laurel Ratcliffe of the Boone County Fair in Belvi-dere, Illinois were the joint recipients of the “Friends of Illinois County Fairs” Award.

Jack has been on the fair board for thirty-nine years and has been Vice-President

of the Association for over twenty-two years. He serves as entertainment and track chairman. The Boone County Fair boasst one of the largest truck and tractor pulls in the State, due in part to Jack’s leadership.

Laurel has managed the Grange Food stand Com-plex for over forty years and serves as Gate 6 superinten-dent. She is Jack’s “Gal Friday” behind the scenes and takes care of all the book work, contracts, office duties and computer work. Her hours begin at 4 am and end well after Happy Hour.

Together, with the invaluable assistance of volunteers they work on building maintenance, keeping the grounds mani-cured, painting, spraying and repairing. They are dedicated to maintaining a local family fair where everyone is welcome to enjoy all the events and activities. “Jack and Laurel are like the Energizer Bunny, they just keep on going and going,” according to AI & Darlene Henninger. Lyle Lee, Boone County Fair President calls Jack and Laurel some ~f the hardest working people he knows and that they work countless hours above and beyond the call of duty.

Their efforts extend beyond the Boone County Fair to the Flora Grange, Pomon Grange, Illinois State Grange, and Farmland Protection Project, Boone County Soil and Water and their church. Jack and Laurel are always the first to step up when there is a friend or neighbor or someone they’ve never met, in need of help.it doesn’t matter if it is monetary, cleaning up after a disaster, harvesting crops, rebuilding a home, serving a meal for a funeral or Habitat for Humanity workers or simply giving someone a ride home. Neither one of them knows how to say “No” stated Larry and Emalee Colver.

Jack and Laurel Ratcliffe’s devotion to the Boone County Fair, their family friends and community have made them the recipients of the 2013 “Friend of Illinois County Fairs” Award.

POLICE BLOTTERWinter Storms Extreme Cold Advisory

The National Weather Service refers to winter storms as the “Deceptive Killers” because most deaths are indirectly related to the storm. Instead, people die in traffic accidents on icy roads and of hypothermia from prolonged exposure to cold. It is important to be prepared for winter weather before it strikes.

Extremely cold temperatures often accompany a winter storm, so you may have to cope with power failures and icy roads. Even if you don’t go outside or drive you can still face hazards indoors. Some homes will be too cold, either due to a power failure or because the heating system isn’t adequate for the weather. People are reminded, when using space heaters and fireplaces to stay warm, the risk of household fires increases, as well as the risk of carbon monoxide poisoning.

Exposure to cold temperatures, whether indoors or outside, can cause other serious or life-threatening health problems. Infants and the elderly are particularly at risk, but anyone can be affected. To keep yourself and your family safe, you should know how to prevent cold-related health problems and what to do if a cold-weather health emergency arises.

Cold temperatures combined with wind can lead to a high risk of frostbite and other health problems. Extreme can bring on health emergencies in susceptible people, such as those without shelter or who are stranded, or who live in a home that is poorly insulated or without heat.

City residents must be certain they have sufficient heating fuel or if they live in a city, a generator or access to a warm place. If there is a fireplace or wood-burning stove residents should make sure they have sufficient dry wood to burn. Never use a gas cook stove to warm a home. The hazards such as fire and carbon monoxide poisoning outweigh any benefit. Be sure to supply adequate clothing and blankets to keep you warm.

When a storm is eminent, minimize travel and if driving is necessary, keep a disaster supply kit available in the car.

The following items are suggested for a care emergency kit and should be periodically checked for expiration dates and condition:

•a shovel •windshield scraper and small broom •flashlight •battery powered radio •extra charged batteries •water (be sure to leave headspace in the container to allow for expansion if it freezes) •snack food

Community gardeners from Winnebago and Boone Counties met at Ida Public Library last week for a potluck and discussion about how to grow the success of their gardens. The meeting was a part of an off-season community garden workshop series co-sponsored by Ida Public Library, which has a community garden on-site and the NIU Extension—Boone County Local Foods Initiative. Topics addressed at January’s meeting included: membership structure, volunteer schedules, pilfering, crop management, and of course, the endless watering battle against the drought of last year. Community gardens are part of a food revolution that is sweeping the country as people embrace the merits of eating sustainable healthy foods that are grown close to home. Community gardeners embrace the ethos of building community relationships around the shared pursuit of growing food while providing opportunities for new gardeners to work side-by-side with seasoned growers, for renters or those without any other access to growing space to participate in gardening close to their homes, and for community members to experiment with unique varieties of produce that may not be readily available at the supermarket.

Grants are available to help fund new and existing community gardens in Northern Illinois making now a great time to get a garden off the ground. All community gardeners in the Rockford/Belvidere/Dekalb area are invited to attend the next meeting which will be held on Monday, February 4. A seed exchange with snacks will commence at 5:30p.m. directly followed by a presentation about seed starting and transplanting at 6:00. For more information or to RSVP, please call Emily Klonicki at 815-544-3838. LOCATION: Ida Public Library, Belvidere DATES: first Monday of the month, Jan 7, Feb 4, Mar 4 and Apr 2, 2013 TIME: 5:30 - 7:00 REGISTRATION: no fee – we just need to know how many seats around the table are needed.

The Boone County Homeless Project, in collaboration with the Winnebago/Boone Mayor’s Task Force on Homelessness, will be conducting a Point In Time (PIT) count on Wednesday, January 23, 2013.This PIT count is important for future funding of homeless assistance programs in Boone County. Homelessness is an issue that affects many people throughout the United States, Illinois and even Boone County. The mission of the Boone County Homeless Project, along with the Winnebago/Boone Mayor’s Task Force on Homelessness, is to reduce homelessness and its effects on our citizens through the provision of a seamless system.

like they were done in a piece-meal manner and were assembled and we never resolved this last week.”

Mayor Brereton said, “I have thoughts on this. If the direction of the City Council is to withhold this for further consideration, that will be done. I don’t know if we’ll ever please everyone but John is away now until March.”

Earlier in January Mr. Berry returned to Holland where he lives to begin work on the two new murals that he had indicated he had planned to create.

Mayor Brereton added, “You could approve the amount and withhold the check. I won’t speak for the artist but this is a part of the end of the TIF.”

In previous meetings it had been broached that the TIF money may be used up to the end date of the TIF and not after. The end date for the TIF is March 30.

Discussion arose regarding the agreement that was signed between Mr. Berry and the city and what he intended to be the meaning of exhibits that are a part of the contract.

Mr. Snow said, “Mr. Berry talked about doing the murals and I don’t know if some of the murals were touched.”

Alderman Mark Sanderson (Ward 5) explained that he spoke with city attorney Michael Drella. Mr. Sanderson said he knew nothing about changing the murals. “I didn’t know that was going to be done.”

Mr. Drella explained, “It was our intent to have the murals repainted. I was not involved in the negotiations.” He added, “We might have already paid for work we may not have liked. We have paid for that (the renovation) and you are not required to pay for work not completed.”

Mr. Morris added, “We expect the work to be done. I think that is reasonable.”

The vote on the amendment was approved and the check that had originally been requested for Mr. Berry in the amount of $12,750 will be withheld at the request of the City Council. The matter could come for further consideration in a future committee of the whole meeting. However, the consensus of the City Council was for the final payment to be withheld until the work on the new murals is finished by Mr. Berry.
