ENVIRONMENT | WILDLIFE IN THE SAUK VALLEY
Our winter’s a hoot to them More snowy owls in area this year, seeking ‘suitable habitat’ BY DAVID GIULIANI
M
any people want to flee the seemingly endless winter, but the region is becoming popular for one type of visitor – the snowy owl. Readers have been submitting their photos of the bird to Sauk Valley Media. On Tuesday afternoon, a photographer for SVM took a picture of a snowy owl perched on a utility pole near Lanark. The permanent habi-
tat for snowy owls is in the Arctic regions. But like most birds, they go south. This year, though, they’re coming down in much greater numbers, experts say. Why? Last year was an especially good reproductive year for snowy owls, resulting in many offspring, said TJ Benson, a research scientist at the University of Illinois’ Prairie Research Institute. The young “get kicked out and have nowhere to go,� Benson said. “They’re

looking for a suitable habitat. They need to make a living. It’s not uncommon to find a few of them around, but then you have exceptional years where you have tons of them.� Last year was a good year reproductively because the owls were well-fed, thanks to an especially abundant population of lemmings, which are small rodents typically found in the Arctic, Benson said. The snowy owls, though, may not survive a journey back
north, he said. “They’re younger birds. Typically when we get owls this far down, they are in poor condition,� he said. “Their chances of making it aren’t all that great.� Deb Carey, the Dixon Park District’s executive director, said she hasn’t seen a snowy owl yet this year. “A part-time employee for the district saw 11 near Seward. I haven’t been so fortunate,� Carey said. “I’m on the lookout all the time.�

DIXON
Park District not expected to repair parking lot Office repairs will wait, too BY MATT MENCARINI mmencarini@saukvalley.com 800-798-4085, ext. 529
DIXON – Budget restrictions will likely prevent the Dixon Park District from making repairs
to the parking lot at its main office, the executive director said. The park district got an estimate to repair the gravel and rock parking lot, which had holes and ruts develop, but Executive Director Deb Carey said there isn’t any money in the budget for the nearly $31,000 that
was projected for the repairs. The estimate was for the parking area near Palmyra Street, Carey said, and another portion of the lot that takes cars back out to the street. The issue was discussed during the park board’s regular meeting Wednesday.
“We got an estimate, which was probably a very good and fair estimate,� Carey said. “But we don’t have that money in the budget.� If the park district was to make the repairs itself, she said, it could save about $9,000. The park district’s budget for the current fiscal
year, which ends March 31, is $1,332,595, Carey said, adding that next fiscal year’s budget is projected to be $1,295,328. Carpeting in the park district’s office also needs to be repaired, Carey said, but just like the parking lot it will have to wait until money becomes available in the budget.
The park district board also approved a lease with Dixon Petunia Festival to use Page Park on July 14, Carey said. Petunia Fest will pay the park district $1 to rent a portion of the park, according to the lease, from Peoria Avenue to the baseball fields, but not including the fields.
2014 ELECTION | REPUBLICAN PRIMARY FOR GOVERNOR
Debate takes on feisty tone All four take aim at each other in hour-long event CHICAGO (AP) – Personal jabs and controversies dominated Thursday’s televised Illinois gubernatorial debate where the four Republican candidates tried to distinguish themselves – including two state senators who lag behind in polling and fundraising – days before the start of early voting for the primary. From the opening minutes, Sen. Kirk Dillard was particularly aggressive at making personal digs at the other three: Sen. Bill Brady on losing the GOP primary in 2006 and governor’s race in 2010, Treasurer Dan Rutherford on recent allegations of misconduct, and businessman Bruce Rauner for his massive fundraising, television ads
that have dominated the airwaves, and even his inexpensive wristwatch. The three weren’t shy about shooting back, with Brady accusing Dillard of being an unreliable Republican. But all four took aim at each other, from links to high-profile Chicago Democrats to time as “career politicians,� making the tone of the hour-long debate the most fiery yet ahead of the March 18 primary. Early voting starts Monday. “My friend Bill Brady has lost twice and the third time’s not a charm. Mr. Rauner spent millions on TV ads, and like his watch, talk is cheap. And Dan Rutherford has had a tough couple of weeks which he blames on the dirty tricks Mr.

Rauner,� Dillard said during the debate, which was hosted by the League of Women Voters of Illinois, WLS-TV and Univision. The candidates were asked about pension reform, the income tax increase, gay marriage and their ads. But the focus was more personal than previous debates. Rutherford, of Chenoa, addressed allegations of misconduct in his opening statement. He has spent recent weeks defending himself after a former employee filed a lawsuit alleging sexual harassment and being forced to do campaign work while on state time. “These allegations are false. I know candidly how tough this has made my campaign,� he said. “The truth isn’t going to

But it will be.� Rauner, who portrays himself as an outsider who will go up against “government union bosses,� alluded to the others as career politicians, prompting each of them to defend their leadership and time in Springfield. Rutherford was a longtime lawmaker before he was elected treasurer in 2010. “I’m running against the culture of failure in Springfield,� said Rauner, a venture capitalist from Winnetka. But Brady questioned Rauner’s allegiance to the Republican Party by bringing up Rauner’s ties to Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel, a Democrat.
Rauner is friends with Emanuel and he has contributed money to sup-
port him and other Democrats.

About the case
Wilson Burnell contends two Lee County sheriff’s deputies broke into his Amboy house in 2009, using pepper spray, deploying a Taser, and knocking him unconscious with a flashlight. In its response to the lawsuit, the Sheriff’s Department says its deputies tried to restrain Burnell and used a Taser and aerosol irritant. Burnell was not charged with any crime as a result. The lawsuit, filed in April, names Lee County and deputies Andrew Tarr and William A. Roberts as defendants. Burnell asks for $200,000 in damages and the return of property he says was taken.
right,� Hernandez said. “It was a savage beating and multiple tasings. They turn it around and say they are officers and are innocent.� The deputies, he said, used the “strong arm of their badge� to attack Burnell. “They cracked his head with a flashlight. It was pure luck that my guy has a hard head and the flashlight didn’t kill him. There can’t be a justification for that type of conduct,� Hernandez said. According to Lee County’s online court records, Burnell’s only criminal conviction was for misdemeanor disorderly conduct in 2000. In his deposition, Roberts said the deputies had probable cause to arrest Burnell for resisting arrest, disarming an officer and aggravated battery. Burnell was never charged. No trial date has been set for the lawsuit.
ROCK FALLS
Landlords share their objections Rock Falls, Sterling are crafting rental inspections rules BY PAM EGGEMEIER
ROCK FALLS – Only a small percentage of landlords in Rock Falls and Sterling attended a presentation and discussion about a proposed rental inspection ordinance in both cities Wednesday night at the Community Building. But the 60 or so who were there made sure their voices were heard. There are about 790 owners of rental properties in Rock Falls, and just less than 400 in Sterling. The graded inspection system would be similar to the one used for Section 8 housing. Rock Falls Building Inspector Mark Searing and Sterling Building and Zoning Superintendent Amanda Schmidt had copies of a draft of the proposed ordinance available that would amend Chapter 5, Article VII of the Rock Falls municipal code. Rock Falls and Sterling are working together to make sure the cities’ ordinances would not have inconsistencies. Many landlords have properties in both cities. In 2009, Sterling failed in an attempt to institute an inspection program for rental properties. The Sauk Valley Landlord Association had voiced its opposition then, and many of the property owners in attendance Wednesday made it known they had not warmed up to the idea. Pictures on a screen depicted some of the most extreme cases of neglected rental properties. Included
were overgrown brush, garbage, plumbing and electrical violations, and even dead animals. Searing said that although those types of properties are not the norm, those situations make a new ordinance necessary. “A handful of people put us in this situation,� he said. “Our biggest problem is getting into some of these houses. We don’t want to have to get a warrant.� Several of the property owners said they believed an ordinance targeting just landlords would be unfair. “Why not remove rental from this ordinance and inspect all properties?� said Rod Kleckler of Rock Falls, president of the Landlord Association. Many property owners, including Earl Stevens of Rock Falls, cited an economy that has made it difficult for both landlords and tenants. “I’ve been doing this for 34 years, and I just can’t make enough money anymore,� Stevens said. “We don’t need this extra cost. Ninety percent of the owners in here take care of their properties.� The inspections would be assessed as a flat one-time fee of $25 for 1 to 4 units. The most that could be paid would be $125 for 41 and more units, plus $5 per unit over 42. The inspections would be done when tenants move out of a property. Jessica Nance of Rock Falls worried that opportunities to rent out properties could be lost while waiting for inspectors to show up. “You’re not going to say we can’t move someone in
CASINO TRIPS
What’s next? There are no next steps or meetings planned, as both cities want to complete their budgeting processes before finalizing a rental inspections ordinance. The Rock Falls committee will consider comments made Wednesday as it continues to shape inspections rules.

until you get here are you? Nance asked. “This is a business; we can’t wait.� Other landlords believed that because there already is a code on the books, an ordinance is unnecessary. “This is a sad day for a lot of landlords,� Lonnie Chattic of Sterling said. “There are no statistics – nothing to validate this course of action. It’s unfair and a violation of our rights.� Searing said the inspections would be done in a timely fashion so as not to keep out tenants. As for violations, Searing said most minor violations would need to be be corrected within 30 days, while larger jobs would require some communication to nail down a time frame. “We’ll work with you on violations,� Searing said. “We understand it takes time and money.� Schmidt said there would be an appeals process set up for disputes. It would be done before a board at no cost to the landlords.

Fall in love with lamb spoon of oil and transfer to a small baking tray. Roast them (alongside the Dutch oven) until they are just cooked through. Test pieces with the tip of a knife or a cake tester. When they are done, remove from the oven and set aside. Before serving, stir the squash pieces into the hot stew. Thicken the juices, if you like. To serve, spoon hot polenta into deep soup plates and ladle the stew over it. Garnish dishes with a thyme sprig and a good sprinkle of freshly cracked black pepper. Serves 4 to 6.

Lamb Stew with Butternut Squash It’s still stew season. In this dish, the oven does most of the work, and, oh, how wonderful your kitchen will smell. I buy fresh local lamb shoulder at a nearby market. Most supermarkets sell shoulder, although it often is boned, rolled and tied; untie it, open it out and cut into cubes. Because I like a slightly thickened sauce, when the stew comes out of the oven, I stir 2 teaspoons cornstarch into about ½ cup of cold chicken stock and stir into the stew, then cook until thickened. Serve with polenta and a side salad. 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided 1½ pound lamb shoulder, in 1-inch cubes Salt 1 medium onion, sliced ž cup carrot coins, thickly sliced 2 to 3 cloves garlic, sliced 14-ounce can diced tomatoes 1 cup chicken stock, plus extra if needed 1 cup red wine 2 sprigs thyme 1 sprig rosemary 2 cups cubed butternut squash (3⠄4-inch) Cracked pepper Polenta, recipe at right Heat the oven to 325 degrees.

Brown the rest of the lamb and then remove that from the pot as well. Turn down the heat to medium low and add the onions, carrots and garlic to the pot.

Cook until the lamb is just tender, for 1½ to 2 hours. When the lamb goes into the oven, prepare the squash. Toss the pieces with remaining 1 table-

Add 3 cups of hot chicken broth and about ½ teaspoon salt (or to taste) and place over direct heat for about 5 minutes, stirring until the cornmeal bubbles and thickens.

ROCK FALLS
Chamber winners tout community bridges built BY PAM EGGEMEIER
ROCK FALLS – Pastor Al Campbell has been in the ministry for 35 years, but his past 5 years as leader of First Congregational Church have been different than his other stops, he says. “This is the first time in all my years in the ministry where I’ve had the time to be involved in so many organizations,� Campbell said. “Not only does my congregation allow it by giving me so much help, they encourage me to do this.� So when Campbell accepted his individual Shoulder to the Wheel award at the 58th annual Rock Falls Chamber of Commerce Meeting and Dinner on Thursday night at Days Inn, he was quick to thank the members of his church and his wife. “Whenever I tell her I’m going to another meeting, she just tells me how proud of me she is,� Campbell said. Campbell has been a board member for PADS, the CGH Medical Center Auxiliary, and the Caring Center. He also has served as president of the Rock Falls-Sterling Area Community Clergy Association and is a past president of Kiwanis, and vice presi-
dent of Whiteside Community Action Network. When he first came to the Sauk Valley, Campbell said he had heard talk of a rivalry between Sterling and Rock Falls. But what he actually saw was the communities brought together by difficult economic conditions, he said. “I saw these cities come together after people had lost jobs,� Campbell said. “I appreciate the fact that so many organizations in these communities collaborate to do so many good things.� Two projects near and dear to his heart focus on the youngest and oldest in the area. About 400 vouchers were given in the most recent Kiwanis Coats for Kids drive. He also spends a great deal of time in nursing homes out of concern for residents who have no church home. The individual award was presented by last year’s winner, Brian Tribley, a pastor at Firehouse of God Ministries in Sterling and a part-time firefighter in Rock Falls. Campbell wasn’t the only award winner Thursday. The winner of the youth organization award was the Rock Falls Junior Optimist Club. The youth branch of the Optimists

The Bridge the Community Race Committee received the Shoulder to the Wheel organization award. Chairman Jack Spencer accepted the award for the committee. The group, led by Spencer, organized Sterling and Rock Falls 10K and 5K races for the first time last year, and plans are in the works for this year’s Bridge the Commu-
nity races on Sept. 13. “We have to showcase what we’ve got here,� Spencer said. “This is a great event, and we’re going to keep on doing it.� There was a tie for the Chamber ambassador of the year award, so two were named this year. Joan Hermes of the CGH Foundation, and Sena Warkins of Imprintable Memories were recog-
nized for their efforts for the Chamber over the past year. Bethany Bland, Chamber president and CEO, recognized the work of all of the organization’s board members. “The board has embraced change without losing sight of what has gotten us to this point,� Bland said. “After 58 years, we’re still relevant, growing, and serv-

NO INDIVIDUAL, unless licensed or holding a permit as a childcare facility, may cause to be published any advertisement soliciting a child care service.* A childcare facility that is licensed or operating under a permit issued by the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services may publish advertisements of the services for which it is specifically licensed or issued a permit. Sauk Valley Media strongly urges any parent or guardian to verify the validity of the license of any facility before placing a child in it's care. *Family homes that care for no more than three (3) children under the age of twelve or which receive only children from a single household, for less than 24 hours per day, are exempt from licensure as day care homes. The three children to whom this exemption applies includes the family's natural or adopted children and any other persons under the age of 12 whether related or unrelated to the operator of the day care home.
