ENTERPRISE SERIES | MENTAL HEALTH
BY TONY CARTON For Prairie Advocate
LANARK – Since its inception in 1976, Rolling Hills Progress Center, an industrialized workshop for the developmentally disabled, has taken great pride in never having a quality problem, always completing work on schedule and at a more-than-competitive price.
Rolling Hills functions as a light manufacturing company emphasizing completing assembly and packaging contracts for the government as well as commercial industries.
“We are in our 40th year of operations,” RHPC Executive Director Brandon Rumler said. “We opened back when there were a number of group homes in the area and they were looking for a workshop, so they built the Rolling Hills Center in Lanark.”
The facility found its beginnings as a sheltered workshop and provided vocational training for folks with disabilities.
“Our main goal is to train our clients so they can go out into the work world and get regular jobs,” Rumler said. “It doesn’t always work out that way, but that is our ultimate goal.”
Beyond getting their clients ready to work in manufacturing environments, Rolling Hills also focuses on everyday life skills that most folks take for granted.
“We service all different levels of intellectual disabilities, so we have some low functioning
individuals and some high functioning clients,” he said. “Some of those lower functioning individuals may not be able to function in our workshop, but we do simulated job tasks for them so they can still go through the routine and perform their tasks throughout the day. As you can imagine, it has its challenges and it has rewards as well.”
Rolling Hills provides services for clients from all the group homes in Carroll County and is working with 90 clients.
“We do contract work for a number of businesses in this area,” Rumler said. “That might include packaging, product assembly, recycling and fulfillment shipping.”
There are several revenue streams for the facility.
“We receive funding from grants; we receive tuition
for servicing certain low-functioning clients, and we receive revenue from our subcontracting work,” Rumler said. “The funding we receive from the Carroll County 708 Board is very important for us because it affects our transportation services.”
Rolling Hills buses its clients to the center, which can be a costly because it involves vehicle and maintenance costs.
“The 708 funding also reaches our staff members who work directly with our clients,” Rumler said. “Those funds really are key to making a difference in people’s lives.”
Rumler said he would like to see the center continue
growing into the future.“We want to help as
many clients as we can.” he said. “One of the areas that sets us aside from other similar facilities is that we do not discriminate based on whether a client brings tuition. I understand there are agencies that only want to help those clients that come in with funds, but we want to help everybody, so we have clients that have tuition attached to them and we have clients that do not receive any money, but we want to give them all an opportunity to do real work and feel that sense of accomplishment.”
Rolling Hills Progress Center is incorporated as a not-for-profit agency under the statutes of the State of Illinois and is governed by a volunteer board of directors who, as concerned and responsible citizens, guide and oversee the overall policies, financial status and operations of the agency.

CARROLL COUNTY FAIR
BY TOM KOCALPrairie Advocate
MILLEDGEVILLE – For 64 years the Carroll County Fair has created memories for thousands of fairgoers, and this year, more memories will be made Aug. 9-13 at Schell Park in Milledgeville.
As you enter the fairgrounds from the Milledgeville/Polo blacktop, you will see something brand-spanking new.
Mark Dettman of Shanks’s Veterinary Equipment is building a new arch.
“That’s an historic landmark for our fair. The old arch has been removed, and Mark is donating a new steel frame and new lettering, so we’re going to have a new look from the road with the new Carroll County Fair Association arch!” said Liz Hutchison, Fair Board president.
She said the fair books are in the mail, and this year’s Carroll County Fair has a lot to offer.
“The grounds look great. Our work nights have been going well,” Hutchison said. “We’re not having a
lot of major improvements, due to the fear of state funding being cut. But the good news is that just last week, we got word that fair funding was included in the appropriation bill passed June 30.
“It will take several more months, but we will receive 2015 funds, around $20,000, for rehab and premium reimbursement. Our vouchers for premiums went to the comptroller’s desk Thursday, for all county fairs. I’m more than happy to wait – at least it’s coming. We thought it was money we’d never see.”
Hutchison said the fair has received great support from businesses and volunteers throughout the county.
“The Carroll County 4-H Foundation worked hand in hand with us to get $3,000 in funding from ADM for a grant I applied for. That’s a nice donation,” she said. “It’s our volunteers and patrons that keep us going.”
There may not be a lot of changes, but Hutchison said there have been several major improvements completed. The Milledgeville Men’s Club is donating the rebuilding of a new handicap ramp to the main stage, and new stairs on the back side.
New arch, new look for latest edition of fairFunding from state also on the way soon
FAIR continued on A144

MOUNT CARROLL | BILL DELP STUDIO
BY TOM KOCALPrairie Advocate
MOUNT CARROLL – A picture speaks a thousand words. Bill Delp and Rhonda Lampe of Bill Delp Studio in Mount Carroll are living proof. And it’s not just the photos that tell the story.
People who know Delp and Lampe, and what they do, have left all kinds of items to re-use in their next piece or photograph: an old Volkswagon Beetle, carriage doors, window frames, benches, wooden yard sticks, pillars from an old house, lightning rods with 100-year-old copper, you name it.
“I have barn wood from a Depression-era barn that the owners said never had snow on the roof back then, because their grandparents had a working still inside,” Delp said. “They were eventually arrested because of that! So if someone buys something made from that wood, I personalize it with a photo of the old barn.”
Delp did his first photo shoot for a high school senior in 1978, his first wedding a year later, then went to full-time photography in 1981.
“I’m proud of the fact that we’re still in business,” he said. “My peers are gone, all over this country. The best of the best. I used to be part of an organization that dealt with one film photo lab. We would meet up once a year in various places and brainstorm. They were the best photographers, well-loved in their communities. And they are out of business, many of them looking for jobs.
“We’re lucky. But we diversified.
“Photography was still at its peak for me, but I didn’t want to lose my passion for my art. I moved to the country, sold my boat and bought a tractor, got a chain saw, then started to enjoy the timber, cutting firewood, just getting away from the photography for a bit. I got my love for it back.”
Lampe said there are some people who are developing film – it’s their niche.
“They shoot medium format film, and that’s their way of trying to corner a niche market for the novelty of it. Eventually, that will be gone, too,” Lampe said. “They don’t even make film anymore. People are scrambling to get their hands on what they can.”
Delp said digital photography is everything now.
“Rhonda will tell you: I almost waited too long, for many reasons. I didn’t believe in it. I went to digital kicking and screaming. But she’s brought the digital age to this old-school photographer. She’s the reason we’re still in the game.”
Artistically, Delp and
Lampe said they are having the best creative times of their lives.
“Our customers are constantly challenging us – ‘Can you do that?’ Sure we can! Then when they leave, we wonder how we’re going to do it! Once we master it, then we add it to our brochures,” Delp said.
Looking around the office, decorated with 20 or so beautifully framed pieces of their work, he was sure to give credit where credit is due.
“A lot of this is Rhonda’s work. If it’s my photograph, she’s the one that takes it to the next level. It’s not just me anymore.”
As a fine art photographer,
Delp said, Lampe is second to none. She came on board 8 years ago, and immediately had an impact on the digital photography work.
“The digital effect is my part of the portrait,” Lampe said. “I like to composite things. I’ll use my photographs, but take bits and pieces to make a creative image.”
Delp said their creative partnership is gaining a nice following in the fine art photography world, and that Lampe’s unique approach to the art of digital photography is a major factor in their success.

In his workshop, Delp has the front door of the original Bert’s and his famous Bull Burgers, still one of this reporter’s favorites. “Only people that new Bert can appreciate him. Wasn’t he something? If you hung out there, you got good life lessons,” Delp said.
BY TOM KOCALPrairie Advocate
MOUNT CARROLL — Going on 36 years in an ever-changing business, photographer Bill Delp moved buildings and log cabins, and has created unique settings everywhere on his property, located in the rolling hills of rural Carroll County between Mount Carroll and Savanna.
Delp broke ground on his studio in April 1998. By July, the back room was done enough for him to get back to photo work. By late in that year, he was well on his way, but it was years before the inside was finished.
“And we’ve been working on it ever since,” Delp said. “I love it.”
The log cabin moved
and restored is a story in itself.
Delp said “an old hippie” who drove an old Milwaukee Road panel truck, Pat Engelking, grew up in the rural hills around Mount Carroll, and was born in the cabin.
“When I was able to move it, with the help of Merle Law, I didn’t tell him until it was sitting on the property. He’d drive out on his motorcycle with his girlfriends to show them the cabin he was born in.”
Walking along the outside of the studio, everything is a set. You’ll see an alley scene, and old windmill, boulders, and ornamental prairie grasses, some with morning settings, others are evening, “unless it’s a gray day, and I can use it all,” Delp said.
The Studio: A work of art in itself
STUDIO continued on A94
The refurbished log cabin is part of the studio, com-plete with a Delp original bench on the porch.

Letters and CommentaryTime for class action
Publishers, stop your verbal anguish about state legislators and the governor failing to formulate and ratify a balanced state budget.
In unison, call immediately for a class action law suit seeking to recover from each legislator and the governor, 100 percent of their salary since expiration date of their last balanced budget.
Illinois citizens and publishers must address governance malfeasance by taking action. The ballot box is rigged and useless.
State and federal government is dysfunctional, which no one can reasonably deny.
Sincerely, Scott Lombardo

Successful blood driveA big thank you to all those
responsible for the Lanark Blood Drive being a success this year. We collected 31 pints, three of which
were “double reds” donors and two first-time donors.
Thank you to all those donors giving of their precious blood so that others in need will have it available when they need it. Of those people who came in, tried to give and were deferred, we say a special thank you, and to try again next year.
We had several volunteers who gave of their time and talents. A big thank you to Mary Block, Alan Brunner, June Hasz, Butch Hasz, Jeff Hoak and John Lamoreux. We are always in need of willing volunteers and are very appreciative of these wonderful people giving of themselves.
The Lanark Lions Club came through again this year with willing volunteers and the Lanark Mothers Club provided a wonderful snack for our hungry donors; Lanark Food Center donated the delicious sandwiches again this year; The Prairie Advocate again helped out with advertising.
A special thanks to the Lanark
Methodist Church for providing a cool, air-conditioned location to hold our mobile. A final thanks to all the blood donors for your “gift of life” for helping others.
Yvonne Nelson, chairmanLanark

Portrait photography, like weddings and senior photos, is a mainstay of the business.
“I’m a photographer,” Delp said, “but Rhonda design the albums. Her wedding albums are second to none. That’s a part of what’s kept us going.
“We know there are people who see the difference. I’ve never been a high-volume studio. But we’ve hung on, where our peers had to quit. We have no plan B. We know that between the fine art and what we can do with portrait photography, we have to diversify.
“We just started offering lodging in this cabin. We had a couple who had a tie to the area years ago, and came from Chicago for senior pictures. When we called to tell them their daughter’s album was ready, he said he’d like to surprise his wife, and asked if the cabin was available. It’s a nice fit,” Delp said.
“It’s been a progression,” Lampe said. “The light bulbs would go off, and we’d say, ‘Oh, that’s a neat idea. I never thought of
that.’ It just came to us as we started doing more and more, just to keep up with the times. For example, Bill’s been making some really neat wine racks from reclaimed wood and old bed springs!”
“I build all this rustic furniture and frames in the cabin, and we hope it will all feed off of each other, because we love it,” Delp said. “For us, it’s been a natural progression. I never thought of offering lodging. But people come for photographs and want to stay! We tell them stories about the place the whole time we’re shooting. You can tell who loves it.
“One couple who stayed loved the fact that there was no TV or internet. He said he and his wife just sat and talked.”
“It takes him a long time to pick out just the right pieces of wood,” Lampe said. “He looks for all the knots and holes and grooves that give it character. A lot of things will take shape because of the shape and imperfections. He hates cutting gnarly old boards and pieces of wood. It’s got to fit.”
His customers know that they aren’t just buying a bed or a bookcase. They’re buying a story.
“Before I take a barn
down, I try to get a pretty picture. People can buy a firewood box made from the barn wood, and also a fine art image of the barn to hang over the box. And I’ll tell them the story.
“I thought that items like these would only interest those who liked rustic. But people will buy a weathered old, white-wooded firewood box to go in their contemporary home. Our pieces will either blend in a rustic environment, or be a signature piece in a more contemporary setting.”
Delp, born and raised in Savanna, said he’s worked other jobs — on the railroad, factories, and river barges.
“All honorable professions, but man, not for me. I had to leave Savanna to appreciate it. As years go by, I am so proud to be a small town nobody! Being able to do what I do right here, ... the creativity of what I do is what I love,” Delp said.
“As photographers, we’re asked to be a part of the very best moments of people’s lives. Marriage, babies, the highlights. Now I’m on the third generation of some families. I love it, and I never look back.”

Remember Bert’s in Mount Carroll? The hames on the side of this piece were hanging off the ceiling with other artifacts, “and a lot of grease and dust!” The wood backing came from an “old boy” who had everything numbered, and Delp points out one of the numbers that looked the best.

I forgot last week to thank one other group for our membership
appreciation breakfast. A big thank you goes to Thermogas for letting us use the pancake griddle and tanks. Also, to our Carroll County Pork Pro-ducers for the use of the cooker.
Who wants to take a European cruise? The Northern Illinois Farm Bureaus are sponsoring a Romantic Rhine and Mosel River Cruise in Europe with Lindstrom Travel in September of 2017. You will fly into the Netherlands where you will then get on a chartered river ship which will be home for the next 7 nights.
Stops along the way will include Cologne, one of Germany’s oldest cities, Cochem, Boppard and Rudesheim, Strasboug,
and finally to Lucerne, Switzerland, where you will have an overnight off the ship to explore the city, then departing back to the U.S. from there.
Flyers on the trip are available online at carrollcfb.org or our office. We also have flyers on the trip to the Rose Bowl Parade and to Panama.
If you have not checked out our website lately, please do so! We have a number of different flyers and happenings posted on it. Flyers to register for many kids programs we have coming up at the Carroll County Fair include the Progressive Ag Safety Day and the Ag Olympics.
The CC Farm Bureau Tractor Drive will be taking place this Friday, July 15. We are leaving from the Lake Carroll ski hill around 8:30 a.m., and will
proceed east towards Peace and Quiet Road, then on to Spring Valley Road, then south on Kittridge Road to Georgetown Road to Center Drive. We will drive through Lanark and then out to Stone Bridge Road. From there we will head onto Townline Road to Mount Carroll and plan on being at our office by 10:30 a.m.
From the office we will drive by Good Samaritan, and then to Loran Road to Georgetown and back to the Lake. It is hard to believe that this is already our 10th Antique Tractor Drive. I feel like we have covered all of Carroll County a number of times.
Have you ordered your Southern Illinois peaches yet? You only have until Aug. 3 to get your order in. Peaches come in 25 pound boxes. They are $27 for members and $32 for non-

MILLEDGEVILLE
Prairie Advocate staff
MILLEDGEVILLE — A Progressive Agriculture Safety Day for children ages 6 to 13 is being planned from 9 to 11:45 a.m. on Wednesday, Aug. 10, at the Carroll County Fairgrounds in Milledgeville, cconducted by the Carroll County Farm Bureau Quality of Life Action Team in conjunction with the Progressive Agriculture Foundation.
“Children often see farm and livestock operations as exciting playgrounds – providing endless hours of fun and adventure,” said Chastity Welch, CCFB manager. “However, these facilities and the livestock and equipment on them also can set the stage for tragedy. The Action Team is looking to educate the youth along with parents
on the hazards that exist on the farm.”
Hands-on demonstrations teach participants lifesaving first aid techniques and reveal the hidden hazards of farm surroundings. Demonstrations focus on farm hazards associated with electricity, fire, grain safety, PTO and equipment safety, animal safety, and more.
Parents can obtain more information about registering their children to participate in the safety day by printing a registration form off our website at carrollcfb.org, or calling the Carroll County Farm Bureau at 815-244-3001. Registrations must be received by July 26.
Educating farm families on hazards of farm surroundings
Outside the studio, every 10 feet or so, is a different door or window; a scene that straight on, looks like a porch, but shoot from the side and it looks like a gazebo. The peak at the rear of the building was made to look like a hay loft, complete with carriage house doors.
“The people who had the doors actually delivered three pairs for me. I never even met them, they were just here one night. Only in a small town.”
Delp said he drew up the shape of the building on a piece of paper, had the concrete base poured by Burkholder and Son, then hired Denny Green and Russ Hartman of Construction Plus to build it.
“All I had was a second-grade drawing, no blueprints, and they built this. We thought and changed as we went.”
Eventually, the steel support posts were replaced
with oak barn timbers from one of Delp’s reclamation projects.
Inside, every room has northern light exposure for superb, natural lighting, a photographer’s dream. The studio has mostly oak woodwork and cabinetry because of an oak tree on the property that fell during a storm. He uses everything.
“We moved whole buildings here. I moved a building that makes up part of the studio years ago from down by the Army Depot. I made a frame from the shutters, and put antique windows in the openings.”
In one of their indoor sets, the front porch from the log cabin that makes up part of the studio serves as one of the props. Everything is repurposed, nothing is wasted.
Delp has the pillars from the house burned down in Savanna to make room for the parking lot for the Law-Jones Funeral Home several years ago.
“The Savanna Fire Department was controlled-
burning it for training, but they saved the pillars and an oak door with beveled glass for me. God bless ‘em, I love small towns!”
The lower level of the studio building is his workshop.
“We have buildings full of artifacts, and I get most of it from great people within a 10-mile radius. If someone had to clean up after me tomorrow, they’d think I was eccentric! And I’m thinking of putting up another building.”
“So we’re combining all of these things, and again, it was a way to survive. We’ve always played with all these things, and it’s been one step at a time for the past 15 years.
“The reason I’ve held on to a lot of my favorite stuff is because I want to develop better skills. I want to be able to use nothing but these old materials and build furniture with really wonderful joinery. I don’t want to just slap some boards together; I want to create a really beautiful
tabletop, or bed frame. I see so much beauty in the old, weathered wood.”

LANARK
BY TOM KOCALPrairie Advocate
LANARK — The City of Lanark’s deadline for response from residents to return the income survey forms was set for Friday, July 1. Twelve days later, City of Lanark Intern Lexie Woodward said the response rate is only 47 percent — shy by almost 200 households.
But in this case, it’s better late than never.
“We cannot stress enough how important it is for all residents to complete and return the survey, as well as to answer honestly,” Woodward said. “A 75 percent response rate is required and all of the survey questions must be answered.”
A cover letter, income survey forms and a self-addressed stamped envelope were mailed to all Lanark residents in mid-June. The city needs 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 these Community Development Assistance Program grant funds, from the Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity, which help finance these types of projects, the City
needs to complete a new city-wide income survey,” said Woodward.
“If you haven’t already sent in your income survey, please still do so. If you crossed your address off the survey, we can’t count it. I’ll be following up with your address, as I will for the ones who haven’t yet
submitted one,” she said. “If your income survey has
a name on it and you don’t want that, it can be whited out as we don’t use or need it. The labels were simply printed out with your water bill address and it would’ve taken too much time to white them out or hand write just the address.
“It is the address that has to be on there. If you got one at your business, please do not fill it out, and let me know so I can remove the address from the follow-up list,” said Woodward.
She said not to worry about privacy issues, as the information provided will be kept strictly confidential in accordance with the Privacy Act of 1974. The income survey is separated from the radar questionnaire as soon as the envelope is returned and opened.
“Those envelopes are opened by Community Funding and Planning Services in Stockton. They keep the income surveys and give me the radar questionnaires. Neither I, nor anyone from the City of Lanark, ever see the income surveys.”
Woodward said if you have any questions about CDAP grant programs or the survey, please contact Sharon Pepin of CFPS at 815-947-8224.
Woodward said if anyone wishes to follow-up on anything written on the radar questionnaire, to write your preferred method of contact on the questionnaire itself, and she will contact you.
“Some of you have received two envelopes, and that is simply a mistake. It is not my intention to waste public money on additional stamps,” she said. “I’m doing the best I can with
roughly 700 addresses. Thank you for your patience and understanding.”
Since 2010, Lanark has a very good award rate for CDAP grants. The city has completed a well, sanitary sewer, and storm water project, and 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.
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 specifically fund these projects.
“The estimated cost of street repairs instead of
just seal coating will be ongoing for several years and hundreds of thousands of dollars,” 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.
Contact City Intern Lexie Woodward at [email protected], or on Lanark’s One Civic Number at 815-493-1155 for more information.
Survey response rate still short of what’s needed
Part of the estimated $160,000 Lanark city park handicap accessible sidewalk improvements were completed in time for Old Settlers Days, but the income surveys are essential to apply for more Community Development Assistance Program grant funds to help finance these types of projects.

LANARK
BY TOM KOCALPrairie Advocate
LANARK — What began in the spring of 2014 as a town meeting has evolved into a fall festival, an enhanced farmers market, and downtown beautification. But that’s only the beginning. The “Living Lanark” MAPPING Transformers Team has a few more initiatives underway.
In May 2014, 35 Lanark citizens met to engage in the MAPPING (Management and Planning Programs Involving Nonmetropolitan Groups) the Future of Your Community process with the Rural Affairs Department of Western Illinois University.
MAPPING is a strategic visioning, planning, and doing process where these Lanark residents created an action plan for creating the community they envision. They identified the goals, strategies and projects necessary to move Lanark forward as well as plan for implementation.
The Transformers are one of the three committees that evolved from the initial meeting. One of its first projects was the development of the Shop Lanark! discount card that offers various discounts from Lanark businesses throughout the year.
The group also received a $500 grant for their efforts in “transforming” the downtown area with new flower baskets, and developing new activities and festivals with a retail focus, boosting traffic and generating customers in the downtown area.
The Fashion Flip
fundraiser, Transformer Denise Williams’ brainchild, was very successful and generated tremendous donations of gently used clothing during Old Settlers Days in June.
The excess clothing has been relocated to “Transformations,” a new booth in The Special Touch/Unique Mall at 504 W. state Route 64. Transformations offers gently used clothing from newborn to adult sizes, with prices starting at 50¢.
“The response for the Fashion Flip both in donations and purchases was very surprising and generous,” said Rosemary Flikkema, owner of The Special Touch, Unique Mall and member of the Transformers.
“We felt that the community has a need for a gently used clothing outlet. As of now we hope folks will find Transformations at the mall as easy to buy from as the park. If we are able
to have the response and interest as Twice-Sold Tales has, I believe it will be an ongoing project.”
“All proceeds will benefit Transformers Team projects and events, such as ‘Walkabout,’ and the new multi-use information center,” said Denise Krysiak, a Transformer Team member.
“August 2 is ‘National Night Out,’ a nation-wide, community-building campaign to promote neighborhood fellowship. In conjunction with this event, the Transformers Team is sponsoring Walkabout from 6 to 8 p.m. that evening,” said Krysiak.
“Residents are invited to come out and visit with friends and neighbors and to listen for the jingle. Transformers members are teaming up with city aldermen to offer ice cream treats from traveling carts throughout the town. A jingle will announce their
arrival. Donations toward the information center will be accepted.”
“We view it as an opportunity for new and established residents to socialize. We hope city government officials take this occasion to tour their wards, too,” Flikkema said.
Flikkema recently presented the Lanark City Council with a proposal for a small, multi-use “welcome” center to be built on a portion of the city parking lot south of City Hall.
“The proposal, including a concept drawing of the facility, was well received by the council; specific plans and fundraising are
underway,” said Krysiak.“The concept for the
Welcome Center is a cottage complete with a functional door, windows and a front porch. Inside, we hope to have plexiglass racks filled with brochures from businesses, school, community groups, churches, tourism, and listings of community
events,” said Flikkema. She said they plan to
have large wall maps to aid travelers, and run electric so it can be used day or night, in all four seasons.
“We potentially see it as Santa’s house at Christmas. All of this is dependent on the success of our fundraising efforts,” Flikkema said.

MEDICAL MARIJUANA
BY JERMAINE PIGEESauk Valley Media
815-625-3600, ext. 5501
FULTON – Sauk Valley’s sole medical marijuana dispensary is open for business.
The Dispensary opened July 1 to serve the 150 or so people in District 1 who have medical marijuana permits, owners said.
“We want people to know that our doors are open,” general manager Jeff Soenksen said. “The Dispensary seemed like a good fit for District 1. Fulton has welcomed us with open arms.”
Those with permits – at the moment, about 7,900 statewide – can buy medical marijuana at The Dispensary as long as they designated it on their application; it mostly will serve patients in Whiteside, Carroll, Lee and
Ogle counties.Patients with one of 39
conditions and diseases – including cancer, glaucoma, HIV, hepatitis C, multiple sclerosis, and post traumatic stress disorder – are eligible for a permit, which requires a doctor’s approval.
“We sell a wide range of cannabis products such as flowers, herb and smokable concentrate,” Soenksen said. “We also sell different cannabis oils.”
The 3,150-square-foot facility at 1801 16th Ave. has seven employees and occupies one of three spaces in the new Fulton Crossing Development on the southeast corner of state Routes 136 and 84, in the town’s tax increment financing district.
The Dispensary had to pass a state inspection before it could open, which was “a pretty lengthy process,” Soenksen said. “Once we
got state approval, we then had to get all the products moved in.”
“We are all very excited about it,” Fulton City Administrator Ed Cannon said recently. “We are all in favor of it, and the city has been behind this 100 percent. Every vote before the City Council was unanimous to support this.”
The day before The Dispensary opened for business, Gov. Bruce
Rauner approved legislation extending the state pilot program for 2.5 years, until July 2020, and included two more medical conditions – PTSD and terminal illnesses that give the patient fewer than 6 months to live.
Medical marijuana advocates and experts called it a turning point that gives patients guaranteed access to the drug and provides confidence to those selling and cultivating it in the state.
The Illinois Department of Public Health officials said the agency must draft emergency rules, develop forms and adjust online registration and registry cards before those with PTSD and terminal illnesses can apply for the medical marijuana program.
IDPH will post information on its website when applications can be accepted, spokeswoman Melaney Arnold said.
Lawmakers legalized a 4-year pilot program in 2013, but the first sales weren’t until November 2015. Without Rauner signing the legislation, the program would have expired at the end of 2017.
Lawsuits are pending that challenge the state’s decision to not include osteoarthritis, autism, chronic post-operative pain, migraines, irritable bowel syndrome, polycystic kidney disease and intractable pain.
– The Associated Press contributed to this report.

More informationThe Dispensary is open
from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Satur-day and from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday at 1801 16th Ave., Fulton.
Call 815-208-7701, go to thedispensaryfulton.com or find it on Face-book for more informa-tion.

“The steer barn is also being gutted and turned into a grooming barn for beef and dairy exhibitors, so they won’t have to tie on in the fire lane anymore. That’s a big improvement,” Hutchison said.
For the kids and the young at heart, there is a new carnival coming. Hutchison hopes Short Line Amusements from Indiana will bring a big improvement.
She also said the fair has added a variety show
on Thursday night that will pay out prizes for the top three places. And the Ag Olympics will be a grandstand act this year.
“Our entertainers, Rae Lynn and Dylan Scott, we hope will do well Friday night,” she said. “And we’ve doubled our prize money for the demolition derby on Saturday. We’re paying out $8,000 in prize money, which is a nice payout for the demo drivers, which we hope will bring in more cars.”
Regardless of how small the improvement, everything matters, Hutchison said.
“Everything is on course,” she said. “And I pray daily
for good weather!”Board member Julie
Ebersole said the fair has seen many changes in the past 64 years, including more recently, two new pavilions, the return of a country music concert, a new commercial building, reducing the fair from 6 days to 5, and a new antique tractor building.
But there have been obstacles, too.
“We overcame the snow that collapsed the roof of our commercial building in 2010 and the straight line winds that took down our antique tractor building 2 days before the 2012
fair,” Ebersole said. “With hard work from our Fair Board and volunteers and support from our terrific fairgoers, we will continue to make improvements to our grounds and pay out premiums to our hard working exhibitors.”
She said the board is conducting a 50/50 raffle, with proceeds being used to offset the delay of state funding and to keep the grounds in perfect condition. Tickets are $5 or 5 for $20, with the drawing at 8 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 13,
on the main stage at the fairgrounds. The winner need not be present to win.
Tickets are available from any Fair Board member, Beautiful You Boutique in Sterling, Milledgeville State Bank, First State Bank in Shannon and Polo, River Valley Designs in Savanna, or from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. any Wednesday night until the fair at the fairgrounds. During fair week, tickets will be available from 1 to 8 p.m. in the commercial building.
“We would like to thank you in advance, and because
of your support, we will keep the Carroll County Fair tradition alive and well!” Ebersole said.
Premium books for the 64th annual Carroll County Fair, Aug. 9-13, are available throughout the county at your local bank, credit union, Carroll Service Company main office in Lanark, and the Carroll County Farm Bureau, 4-H, and University of Illinois Extension office in Mount Carroll.

MORRISON
BY JERMAINE PIGEESauk Valley Media
815-625-3600, ext. 5501
MORRISON – Morrison Community Hospital’s Family Care Clinic has moved up in the world.
The clinic, which started life on the ground floor, is in a new, larger location in the first-floor spot that formerly housed the now-closed Four Seasons Living Center nursing home.
The newly renovated space opened May 5, and it’s just the beginning of improvements planned for the city-owned, nonprofit MCH, the biggest of which will be a larger, more efficient and more advanced emergency department.
Family practitioner Dr. Nicky Eustace is thrilled to have more room.
“I have space to do cartwheels and I have a yoga mat in here,” Eustace said with a laugh. “All of the rooms are bigger and it’s definitely a big change.”
Not only has the clinic doubled in size, but it also has doubled its exam rooms, from six to 12, and added a procedure room and an ultrasound room. Patients enter through the hospital’s main entrance at 303 N. Jackson St.
“Our doctors needed more space for their offices,” said Mick Welding, MCH’s director of marketing and communications. “Some of the doctors were sharing offices before. This gives us a chance to spread out.”
The waiting room also is twice as large.
“We can accommodate more people, and it’s quiet,” Welding said. “We have new carpeting, new floors and new exam tables. They are all furnished with all-new materials.”
To keep costs down, MCH’s maintenance department did all the work
on the $139,000 project.With the additional space,
Eustace said she can work closely with Kelli Jepson, her registered nurse.
“In the previous space, we were farther away from each other. Now, we are able to work side by side,” Eustace said. “She was almost halfway across the hallway and now, I think we are able to work more effectively since we are in the same space together.”
MCH also remodeled and expanded the Rehabilitation Department, moving it into the family clinic’s ground-floor spot.
“They were able to add a private room for massage therapy and another private room for speech therapy,” Welding said. “The rehab staff has also moved into cubicles, so they have more privacy to do their paperwork.”
Up next: A feasibility study is in the works to help set the course for expansion and fundraising for a new emergency department
that will include private treatment bays, a trauma room and a waiting area for friends and family members, who now must sit in chairs
in the hallway and must be taken elsewhere to get news of their loved ones.
“Right now, we have to take family members to
another room for some privacy,” Welding said.
The project is in the early stages, so no cost estimates have been made, CEO Pam Pfister said.
A re-certification survey conducted by the Illinois Department of Public Health in summer 2011 found MCH to be out of compliance with Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services standards. Inspectors found medical and surgery rooms had only
normal electricity receptacles and no emergency power outlets, and the recovery area did not have emergency outlets labeled with panel and circuit numbers, among other problems. MCH also had to update its sprinkler system.
But “these projects are totally different, and there is no link to that at all,” Pfister said. “We are in compliance with CMS. We just wanted to add more space to the hospital.”

SAVANNA
BY TOM KOCALPrairie Advocate
SAVANNA — Debbie Long of Savanna and her family are all too familiar with cancer. That’s why on Aug. 6, her Relay For Life team, the Patriots, is sponsoring the Squirt Out Cancer 5k Color Water Run/Walk in Savanna’s Marquette Park.
Long is a team member with the American Cancer Society and its national signature activity, Relay For Life, a team-based event that brings together neighbors, friends, work associates, and families to celebrate those who have survived cancer, and remember those lost to the disease.
“The first year my family took part in the relay was in 1999 in honor of my niece, Nicole, who was only 6 months old when my sister found out that Nicole had cancer,” Long said. “Little did we know what cancer was going to do to our family in the coming years.”
Today, Nicole is the mother of two daughters and is cancer free.
“But not everyone in my family was that fortunate. My father passed away from lung cancer as well as my mother. On my brother’s 50th birthday, we were at his funeral because of lung cancer, and my husband passed away in 2013 just 20 days after he was told that he had cancer,” Long said.
“For my family the Relay
is a way to fight cancer. It’s not just fun and games to us. Today, our team has 20 members. with 18 of them being my family and the youngest being 8 and 6 years old. This event is the way we are fighting cancer. All money raised goes to Carroll County Relay For Life.”
Early bird registration for $20 is required by July 15. T-shirts and hat are guaranteed to all who pre-register. Registration forms are posted in many local businesses in Savanna and you can visit Get Me Registered.com to register online. Children under 5 are free with paid adult, but they will not receive a race pack and will need eye protection.
Race packet will be available for pick up from 6 to 7 p.m. on Friday, August 5, at Manny’s Pizza in downtown Savanna.
“This is is not a timed event,” said Long. “The course begins and ends in Marquette Park. This is a fast and flat course along the Mississippi River and down a scenic bike path.”
Strollers are welcome. Children under 5 are free with a paid adult, but note they will not receive a race pack and will need eye protection.
Long said color runs are a lot of fun, as colored corn starch is tossed on the runners and walkers as they go through a color zone. She assures participants that the colored corn starch does
not contain the common allergens, like latex, dairy and casein, egg, gluten, peanut and tree nut, or soy.
Participants are invited to a special after-event party at Manny’s, where you will enjoy pizza, and special prizes will be awarded to the first registration, best color costume and more to be announced.
“This 5K will be fun for both veteran and amateur runners alike,” said Long. “Make it a family event or go at it alone. It’s always fun to run in a color costume, which are encouraged, but not required.”
The event is sponsored by Manny’s, J.C. Carey Motors, Metform-Division of Maclean-Fogg,
Cornerstone Chiropractic & Rehabilitation, Brad Deery Motors, Law-Jones Funeral Homes, Savanna Fire Department, Sandburr Run, Casey’s General Stores, Mirror-Democrat, Savanna Times Journal, Lockhart & Law Insurance Agency, Celebration River Cruises, Jewel-Osco, and Prairie Advocate/Sauk Valley Media.
This walk/run is an event to raise money for the Carroll County Relay For Life. If you cannot participate but wish to make a contribution, please mail to The Patriots ℅ Debbie Long, 1711 Pike Rd., Savanna IL 61074.
Contact Debbie Long at [email protected] or 815-218-7496 for more information.

THOMSON
Prairie Advocate staff
THOMSON — The Upper Mississippi River National Wildlife and Fish Refuge has announced the 2016 applications for the special deer hunt at Lost Mound are available.
Two managed deer hunts, one for youth, ages 10-17, and one for adults with disabilities, 18 and older, are conducted within designated closed areas of Lost Mound. The age for youth is now 17 instead of 15 as in past years. All hunters must be accompanied by an adult, able-bodied attendant that is capable of tracking and retrieving a deer.
The application period extends through July 31 and is open to residents and non-residents. All applications will be entered into a random drawing for the
35 hunt sites at 10 a.m. on Aug. 3, at the Refuge Office, 7071 Riverview Road in Thomson. The drawing is open to the public and applicants do not have to be present.
All hunters, attendants and any accompanying individuals must attend a mandatory safety orientation with two sessions held at Manny’s Pizza, 211 Main St. in Savanna.
The first is from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 1; and the second from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 11. Both sessions will be followed by a visit to the hunt area.
The youth hunt will be held Oct. 8 and 9, which coincides with the Illinois Youth either sex deer hunt. A Jo Daviess County deer permit must be obtained and brought to the orientation. All youth must
show certification of completion of a state approved hunter safety course.
The hunt for adults with disabilities will be held Nov. 12 and 13, which is the Saturday-Sunday prior to the Illinois Firearms deer first season. A minimum P2a Illinois disability classification, or similar disability certification from non-resident states, is required. A Jo Daviess County deer permit is not needed in order to apply for this hunt, as this permit is provided by the Refuge.
Application and regulations can be downloaded from fws.gov/refuge/upper_mississippi_river or picked up at the refuge office, 7071 Riverview Road, Thomson. For more information, contact the Refuge office at 815-273-2732.

SAVANNA — The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service announced that applications will be accepted from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. for Potter’s Marsh waterfowl hunting sites on Saturday, July 30, at Manny’s Pizza, 211 Main St. in Savanna, with the drawing to be held at 1 p.m.
You must apply in person and must be present at the drawing. A $10 application fee is required. When your ticket is drawn in the lottery, you will select your choice from the 49 available sites. A $100 non-refundable fee is charged for each applicant that receives a hunt site.

STERLING – Sterling police are investigating a possible embezzlement from Giving Power to Adolescents, a youth club administered by Sterling Township.
The theft was reported June 22, lead investigator Detective Sgt. Alex Chavira said.
The amount taken still is being determined. The
suspect is a township employee, not a club member, Chavira said. No arrest has been made.
Township Supervisor Matt Howze, who reported the incident to police, refused to confirm to Sauk Valley Media whether a township employee is under investigation or whether a township employee has quit or been put on leave.
The money comes from fundraisers, donations, rent
and other GPA endeavors.“Recently in the past few
months, we’ve been noticing some missing money,” said GPA Vice President Emily Buikema, a Rock Falls High School sophomore. At first, the kids thought they simply had misplaced receipts.
A more thorough investigation by township officials turned up the potential theft, she said.
GPA members now are scrambling to come up
with money to pay for their activities, which include trips to training conferences, and their annual Youth Day, a day of free activities for kids, coming up July 23 at the Sterling-Rock Falls YMCA.
The club is asking the community to help make it whole, with donations of goods or money.
“We’ll take anything we can get. We’re not in a position to be picky,” Buikema said.
GPA was started in 2010 by a group of area students who attended a leadership conference in Texas and felt the need for a positive place for local youth to come and have a voice. Their mission is to help out in the community, and to develop and live character traits they refer to as assets.
Since September 2011, the township has housed GPA in the former Abiding Word Church building
downtown, which it bought for $190,000. The township pays the mortgage, while GPA has paid utilities – about $400 to $500 a month – from its general fund.
The club, which has about 20 to 30 active members, middle school through high school, raises money by renting parts of the Center for Youth to other organizations, such as Big Brothers/Big Sisters and Tri-County Opportunity Council.
