MORRISON – At least 25 unlocked vehicles were broken into early Friday, and fires were set in three of them, Police Chief Brian Melton said this morning. No arrests have been made, but police are investigating more than one person of interest, Melton said. He declined to provide details. Most of the break-ins occurred between 2 and 6 a.m. in the areas of West South, West Park and West Morris streets. Among the items taken were keys, a tablet, a flashlight
JO-C
Police chief says burglars hit two dozen unlocked vehicles and a car charger, as well as less than $100. Many of the items have been recovered, and many vehicles had nothing taken at all, he said. Two of the fires caused significant damage, and in two other vehicles, the burglars wrote on the seats with a marker. One of the messages read “lock your car,” Melton said. Police think the break-ins are related to a spree of vehicle burglaries that took place June 10 and 11. Residents who suspect their vehicles might have been burglarized are asked to call police at 815-772-7650, even if nothing was taken.

MORRISON – CGH Medical Center has found a new use for an old clinic. When optometrist Edward Hanlon wanted to move closer to Sterling and Dixon, CGH Morrison Medical Center at 105 S. Heaton St. was left empty. CGH decided to fill the void with a much-needed, and more convenient, physical therapy clinic. “We just thought that there was a need for it,” Marketing Director Dana McCoy said. “We knew that there would be patients who would appreciate having a more local place to go.” The space has five private treatment rooms and a large gym space with stationary bikes, ellipticals and weight machines.

2018 ELECTION | WHITESIDE COUNTY SHERIFF
Deputy’s entry makes it 3 candidates for sheriff Lewis will run as Republican
Former Rock Falls officer also announces run
STAFF REPORT news@saukvalley.com 815-625-3600, ext. 5501
ROCK FALLS – A third candidate for Whiteside County sheriff has launched his campaign, and is planning a meet-and-greet at the end of the week. Whiteside County Deputy Mike Lewis, 46, of Rock Falls, a Republican, announced his intention to run June 9 Mike on his Lewis Lewis for Sheriff Facebook page. He also issued a news release Friday. He will be at the Tin Roof Tavern, 13464 Galt Road, at 5 p.m. Sunday in conjunction with a fundraiser for April House Children’s Advocacy Center and Jessie’s Mile. Lewis, a 1990 graduate of Rock Falls High School, worked for 3 years at the Lanark Police Department before joining the sheriff’s department in late 2003. He works on the jail floor, and said he has worked in every section at the department. He also is a part-time Tampico police officer. An off-duty vehicle crash on Nov. 18 left Lewis with an injured shoulder, and surgery in April has him on medical leave until August. He studied criminal justice at Sauk Valley Community College, and attended the Police Academy at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. “I’m running for change for the citizens of the community. We’ve had so many things changing in society. I’m a young man,

ROCK FALLS – A former Rock Falls police officer says he plans to run for Whiteside County sheriff next year. Tim Fisher, 46, of Rock Falls, said last week that he will run as a Republican. Lt. John Booker, a Democrat, announced his intention to run for sheriff in May. Fisher now works in behavioral health at KSB Hospital in Dixon, but has spent a majority of his career in law enforcement. He
said he knew from a young age that he wanted to do police work, but wound up taking an unconventional path. “I knew what my Tim Fisher goal was in junior high, and I signed up for the Army military police as a junior in high school,” Fisher said. After graduating from Rock Falls High School, he served in the Army for more than 3 years. Upon his return, he applied to several police departments, but went solo for the next step.
How to help Sign-up for the motorcycle/car fun run for April House and Jessie’s Mile is from 10 a.m. to noon Sunday at Tin Roof Tavern, 13464 Galt Road in Sterling, with the last vehicle in at 5 p.m., and live music from The Cal Stage Band from 6 to 10 p.m. DJ D-Boom will perform after Cal Stage. Food will be sold. Minors are welcome until 9. Admission for the ride is $10, or $15 for a couple, all riders get a T-shirt and all proceeds will be donated to April House and Jessie’s Mile. The meet-and-greet with Whiteside County Sheriff’s candidate Mike Lewis will start at 5:30 p.m. Go to Lewis for Sheriff on Facebook or call the Tin Roof, 815-632-3589, for more information on the ride. The nonprofit April House Children’s Advocacy Center, 503 N. Madison St. in Morrison, is a safe place for children who have been the victims of physical or sexual abuse to be interviewed. Find it on Facebook or call 815-772-5286 for more information. Jessie’s Mile is a 1-mile run/walk for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, held in remembrance of Jessica A. Gordon of Rock Falls, who was a 10-yearold Montmorency student when she died May 23, 2012 of Burkitt’s lymphoma. It will be held from 9 a.m. to noon July 15 at Hinders Field, in the 400 block of 15th Avenue in Rock Falls. T-shirts, cookies and bracelets will be sold, and there will be raffles of various items, including a chainsaw carving from PM Carvings of Rock Falls. Find Jessie’s Mile 2017 on Facebook for all the details. and I’ll be there for a long time,” Lewis said. He served in the Army in Honduras during the Persian Gulf war, then worked at Northwestern Steel
and Wire Co. in Sterling as a fourth-generation steelworker, Lewis said. “I have seen enough over the years to know that if we are not doing more, what

“I paid to put myself through the police academy, and I finished second in my class with the people who had already been hired,” Fisher said. He joined the Rockton police force in 1993, and spent 2 years there before being hired by Rock Falls. He was there 18 years before a work-related injury shortened his time on the streets. While there, he was a patrolman, canine officer, sergeant, investigator, and certified dispatcher. He has has never run for elective office, but says his training and experience qualify him to be
we’re doing is not enough – not for our fellow officers, not for our neighbors, and certainly not for the memory of those who wore the uniform before us,” he said in the release. He plans to meet with community members in the coming months. He and his wife, Shelly, have two children, Alan Lewis, 23, and Paige Lewis, 18. Lewis is one of three people to announce their candidacies. Former Rock Falls police officer Republican Tim Fisher, 46, of Rock Falls, announced June 28 that he will run. Sheriff’s Lt. John Booker, 30, a Democrat, announced his intention on May 16. Booker was first hired by the department in 1998 and worked his way up the ranks as a patrol sergeant, then detective, and now is lieutenant and commander of the county’s SWAT team. Before that, he served as an officer with the Rock Falls, Prophetstown, Erie, Morrison and Tampico police departments. Sheriff Kelly Wilhelmi, first appointed in 2008 to finish Roger Schipper’s

City shares some details on firing of maintenance manager BY PHILLIP HARTMAN Prairie Advocate phartman@saukvalley.com 815-625-3600, ext. 5525
LANARK – City officials have given more details on the council’s June 20 vote to fire maintenance manager Tom Difazzio. The 5-1 vote came after an executive session lasting more than an hour. Ward 3 Alderman Jay VanMatre voted against the decision. Maintenance worker Geoff Williams is interim maintenance manager. In a June 26 news release, officials wrote that Difazzio was notified June 12 by Mayor Ken Viglietta of his employment’s suspension. “Difazzio was advised the suspension was based on non-performance of duties and complaints about his demeanor when dealing with other maintenance employees and the public. Due to the reactions of Difazzio to the suspension, and the resulting inability of the mayor to explain the suspension process, a Lanark police officer who was serving as a witness to the suspension eventually had to intervene and direct Difazzio not to come back for the day,” officials wrote. Viglietta said on June 20 said Difazzio was fired for insubordination and code of conduct violations. During that meeting, a number of
residents spoke in support of Difazzio, who was Lanark’s maintenance manager since August 2013. Also at the meeting, Lanark resident David Davies said he was told that Difazzio shut off the water of a tenant of Alderman Mark Macomber, at Macomber’s request. In response, Police Chief Matt Magill said Difazzio asked him May 30 or 31 if he had to shut off the water, and after checking with Carroll County State’s Attorney Scott Brinkmeier, Magill told Difazzio that if a landlord shuts off a renter’s utility for nonpayment of rent, it is a state code violation. “I informed Mark of this; he was not aware of it being not legal. I also truly do not believe that this is any type of leverage of any public position,” Magill said. Whether and when the tenant’s water was shut off could not be determined; Williams said June 22 that he had no information on the situation. Whether Defazzio’s firing was related to this issue could not be determined. Viglietta declined to detail what constituted his insubordination and code of conduct violations; Difazzio was at the meeting, but did not comment; and Macomber did not speak to the issue at the meeting and has not replied to repeated requests for comment.
WHITESIDE COUNTY COURT
Ruf reckless homicide trial moved to September BY ASHLEY CADY acady@saukvalley.com 815-625-3600, ext. 5521 @ashleycady_svm
MORRISON – The trial of a woman charged with reckless homicide in a 5-year-old case again has been moved. Theresa A. Ruf, 47, formerly of Chadwick and now of Dixon, was set to be tried July 18; that date was reset last week to Sept. 12. Ruf is charged with reckless homicide, which carries a sentence of 2 to 5 years, and failure to reduce
speed to avoid an accident in the June 5, 2012, death of motorcyclist Samuel L. Munz, 53, of rural Sterling. Munz rear-ended as he was stopped on state Route 40 in Sterling, about a half-mile east of Ridge Road, preparing to turn into his driveway. Ruf’s next court appearance is Aug. 23. When Rus initially was charged, Trish Joyce was Whiteside County state’s attorney. She was appointed a circuit court judge in December, and Terry Costello, appointed to replace
Joyce, picked up the case. Ethically, he cannot comment on any specifics of the case, Costello has said. The defense has sought, and the prosecution has not objected to, 37 continuances in this case since Ruf was indicted on Feb. 26, 2013. In addition, this is the 33rd time a trial date has been set, but that is not unusual in cases that take this long to resolve – the court sets a date as a scheduling placeholder, as it waits for both sides to finish preparations.

City decides against easing chicken rules BY MICHAEL MILLER For Prairie Advocate
SAVANNA – Three Savanna businesses received initial approval for reimbursement for renovations, building purchase or redevelopment through the city’s new TIF district program, at the City Council’s meeting June 27. The council approved the first readings of ordinances which would grant TIF agreement with the Answer Fitness Center, for $11,37 over 4 years, for renovations and improvements to the business; to TDP Investments, for $82,369 over 12 years; and to Dwarika Liquors, for $3,462 over 2 years. The council also voted to deny a proposed ordinance
that would have allowed chickens within the city limits. The Ordinance Committee had reviewed the matter and tasked Superintendent of Public Works John Lindeman to compose a conditional use checklist that would have allowed poultry ownership, given adherence to certain specified conditions. The council decided against this, however, and voted to maintain and uphold the ban on such ownership, which is prohibited under a zoning ordinance. The council heard a brief presentation from the Rev. Gary Peneta, of Savanna Helping Savanna, asking for more volunteers to help his group maintain, mow and clean yards for elderly, disabled and low-income people in the city. He said his group had one success with a residence on Hill Street and was looking to help others. He also noted the group needs help with materials for landscaping.

SAVANNA – Ann Murphy recently became only the third member of Rotary Club of Savanna to be named an Honorary Rotarian for distinguishing herself by meritorious service in the furtherance of Rotary ideals. Murphy joined the Rotary Club of Savanna in 1989, and became its first female president in 1993. She served on the board for many years, and was involved in chartering the Al Cini Memorial Interact Club at Savanna High School. The club remains active at West Carroll High School. Murphy also was involved in the club foundation, which provides scholarships yearly to West Carroll seniors. She and her husband, Pat, hosted three longer-term and two short-term Rotary Exchange students over the years. She was involved in many fundraisers that helped fund local grant projects and
scholarships. She was also involved in with several Rotary District 6420 responsibilities, including assistant district governor, district trainer, District Governors Advisory Council, Financial Council and Scholarship Selection Committee. When Rotary District 6420 teamed up with districts from Illinois, Wisconsin, and Michigan, Murphy was there to help plan and coordinate. This is now one of the largest trainings for incoming club presidents in the United States.

SUDOKU PUZZLE
Here’s How It Works: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!
