Teachers who taught a century ago were not more professional than those of today because of a greater sense of dedication but, in part, because in 1901, there were so few distractions in that culture and teachers could perhaps better focus on their charge. Life in 1901 was led in a very different context than what is the case for many people today. That one man and those seven women were the total faculty that taught students at North Belvidere High School is 1901. Those that have read The Journal over the years might have become familiar with Mr. J.E. Zinser because he seemed to appear in many preserved photographs of the North Belvidere High School of that era and also because he was then a very popular teacher. Mr. Zinser taught many of the science classes at North High School and in those days, teachers had to be able to “multi-task.” Because of the size of school districts a century ago, teachers had to be adept at teaching a wide range of subjects. Teachers today can straddle a range as well but likely not as wide as was the case in 1901. For example, Mr. Zinser taught general science classes, physics and chemistry along, perhaps, with other more specialized types of science. The same characteristics would be expected to come with those who taught mathematics. General mathematics was be taught but for more advanced students, the teacher had introduced some students to algebra, calculus, plain geometry and solid geometry and even differential equations. Albert Einstein was only then beginning to imagine and to evolve his theories that would shake the world of mathematics in the early years of the new 20th Century. It is a unique element of our popular culture that we relate to baseball players, hockey players and lawyers and doctors as professionals but the adjective “professional” is not often associated with teaching. Teaching is an occupation that should qualify as a profession. Those who are teachers must complete a proscribed level of education, they must express their performance and skill by passing a licensure examination and it is expected by many public school districts that their teachers will continue their education during their career. But beyond the basic skills needed to become a teacher, the more important aspect is the intellectual dedication and the desire that teachers hold that identifies the professional teachers from those that are more interested in depositing a paycheck. In addition to Mr. Zinser, his colleagues assembled around him included Mary Devlin, Lottie Lawrence, Grace Sharp and Nellie Gilman. There was also Dove Greenlee, Belle Tripp and Kittie Williams. It should be noted that Ms. Williams passed away soon after this photograph was shot. She died on July 30, 1918 after this photograph was shot in 1901. Yet, it must be recognized that these eight people taught the entire curricula that was offered at North Belvidere High School in 1901. Of course, that curricula was very different from the curricula taught to students today. Languages are not taught today to the same extent that languages were emphasized a century ago. The sciences such as biology and zoology were taught, literature and English were also taught by these people shown here. The required classes for graduation in 1901 were also very different from what is required today. However, of course, the world and the culture is very different today than what was the case in 1901. In 1901 when these people practiced their profession, there was no radio, no TV, no Internet and no Facebook. The profession of teaching did not have in 1901 the wide ranging variety of distractions that teachers today must compete with. Of course, there were relationships between young men and young women that occupied some of the student interests in that latter day classroom. But, as with the professional dedication that many of these teachers embraced, such was the case among some of the students in 1901 that were more interested in finding someone with whom they could spend their lives with rather than to find someone to “hook up” with for the moment. It should also be noted that, within the two Boone County school districts that educate thousands of students every year, there are a large number of professional teachers. Because the teachers appear on a tintype does not mean that they and they alone possessed a greater sense of professional responsibility than teachers of today. But it is to recognize that the culture of 1901 was so very different than the culture of today and mere comparisons of the two is difficult to imagine or to make. The people shown here were professionals but students and parents should take heart, there are many professional teachers today and their dedication should be recognized. The Journal wants to thank the Boone County Historical Society for allowing use of this photograph. Filling an $800,000 Sinkhole By James Middleton Elected and appointed officials in Boone County government assigned to manage county financial matters have known of this $800,000 deficit in the General Fund for much of 2015. As 2015 dawned with Dave Ernest as the new Boone County Sheriff who had a long-standing working relationship with the Belvidere Police Chief, Jan Noble, both picked up the performance of their departments and arrests rose in number. Soon after Mr. Ernest was sworn in as the new Sheriff he said, “I have a lot of work to do, I have to get started.” As a result of this new commitment by local law enforcement agencies the population of the Boone County Jail changed. As the year progressed, local detainees awaiting trial has increased. The good news is that local law enforcement officials have been doing a better job than in the past. The bad news is that Boone County has fewer cells available for use by neighboring jurisdictions and the federal government to hold their detainees awaiting trial. That means that revenue coming into county government Continued on the next page.... 2 October 9th, 2015 The Boone County Journal 815-544-4430 Continued from Front Page.... has dropped and the reduction is significant. This reduction in revenue and also, because of a larger than expected number of serious medical problems of county employees, all county revenue has dropped. The county is self-insured and as claims rise, the cost for that insurance also rises. These were why the county refunded bonds in 2015 instead of 2016 that were used to pay for the Courthouse expansion and building of the Administration Complex. As a result of that move, the county will save more than $350,000 over the life of those bonds. As late as last week the Boone County administrator, Ken Terrinoni, told members of the County Board finance committee that he expects there to be a deficit of $800,000 or more in the General Fund. The General Fund is where the bulk of county bills are paid. Overall, it is expected that the county could realize a total budget deficit in excess of $1.1 million. With these numbers in mind and few viable options from other revenue sources to erase the expected deficit, County representatives agreed, after considerable debate, to access funds from the collected surplus Public Safety Sales Tax revenue. That would mean, if approved in the total budget, the county would transfer $800,000 from the Public Safety Sales Tax surplus and use that money to offset some of the expenses associated with manning the Boone County Jail. It should be noted that annual payments due on the Jail Bonds will continue to be collected and reserved for that express purpose. But, over the years, the collected revenue has surpassed what was needed to make the annual bond payments. The decision by the finance committee members came about in a special meeting that occurred last week. Mr. Terrinoni said, “The major topic that was discussed was how we can manage the deficit. A major area of interest was the surplus revenue collected from the Public Safety Sales Tax.” The meeting lasted more than two hours and use of the $800,000 in surplus revenue was approved by a unanimous voice vote of 4—0. But, the final approval of this transfer and use will not occur unless and/or until the full budget is approved. To use the surplus revenue in this manner, Ordinance 1035 must be amended. That ordinance was enacted in 2010 and allowed for some of the collected sales tax revenue to be used for management of the jail. That ordinance would be rewritten to accommodate the $800,000 transfer. The $800,000 would be used to pay for jailer salaries only and that was the intent of the committee members. In a similar special committee meeting that occurred on Wednesday, committee members were told that the overtime spending for work in the County Jail could not be reduced without more personnel being hired. Boone County Sheriff Dave Ernest was clear when he said that he is also in need of new deputies. Until those additional deputies are hired and trained, overtime in the Sheriff’s Department is likely to continue and could escalate. For a number of years the amount of overtime spending in the County Jail and the Sheriff’s Department has been a concern for some local taxpayers and for some current and former County Board members. The problem in both instances is that the county cannot afford to hire and train new deputies and jail guards while they would be paying continued overtime to those current employees as the new-hires learned their job. It takes almost one year to thoroughly train jail guards and Sheriff’s deputies. Mr. Terrinoni reported that discussion during the Thursday meeting focused on jail guards. Today, the county employs 32 guards and two of them are out. If the county could increase the number of guards to 36, that could ease some of the overtime spending. The committee members discussed the prospect of adding two new guards and two new deputies though these are matters that need further consideration. In other matters the committee considered, discussion followed to reduce the county road levy. But, Mr. Terrinoni added that the county needs that revenue to continue to maintain roads and bridges. “Reducing the road levy,” Mr. Terrinoni said, “is not as attractive as someday money will be needed here.” The ongoing special and scheduled meetings of the Boone County Board finance committee will continue as many matters of the new budget remain in flux needing final resolution. The next In Our 20th Year meeting is scheduled to occur on October 8. There is another meeting scheduled to occur on October 13 and it is expected that the full County Board would approve a proposed budget for the mandatory lay-aside period before the final version of the budget would be approved in the November County Board meeting. The fiscal year for Boone County runs from December 1 through November 30. The goal of elected and appointed officials in Boone County is for the Fiscal Year 2016 budget to reach a balanced condition but that has not as yet been reached.

Practicality Some here are angered by what they view as a compromise of ethics promoted by the current Boone County Board who proposed spending $800,000 of collected Public Safety Sales Tax revenue for needs other than to pay off the Boone County Jail Bonds. Those that are angered believe that elected county officials many years ago promised, if voters approved creation of the tax, the measure would end in 2018 and the revenue would only be used to pay interest and principal on the jail bonds. However, could anyone predict those many years ago the condition of Boone County, the State of Illinois or the national economy? The late 1990s were the good old days when principal on homes rose by 4% to 5% annually. Those were the days when Certificate of Deposit interest rates for one year were at or above 6% according to Bankrate, Inc. Today that interest rate is far below 1%. The nation was also then not recovering from a devastating recession that still causes near double-digit local unemployment rates and chronic economic problems across Boone County and the region. The community and those that are claiming ethics violations must understand that the economic condition of the county is not due to a policy of overspending since the dawn of the Third Millennium. The problem is multi-faceted and will translate in Fiscal Year 2016 into a better than $800,000 deficit in the General Fund and a $1.1 million deficit in the overall county budget. County finance committee members must calculate how they will pay the bills. Somehow this $800,000 hole must be filled or the county will access reserve capital. Reserve capital is money the county has in savings. The county is already accessing reserve money to pay for state’ refusal to pay their portion of salaries for the state’s attorney, probation officers and the public defender. Not only Boone County but the state is running out of money and the state is also not paying collected motor fuel taxes. These are contingencies that were never imagined in 1998. Certainly idle statements and promises were made and there are many here that remember hearing elected officials agreeing, that the sales tax revenue would only be used to retire the jail bonds and the tax would cease in 2018. Those words were likely uttered by some elected officials when the referendum was up for a vote. However, how does the county get to 2018 to decide to end the tax as more unfunded mandates from the state and federal government continue to arrive? What will the county do if the state refuses to make their mandated payments? Those bothered by the ethics of the tax have not commented or offered answers to those questions. Further, is it ethical to demand elected officials to follow what was promised when today county reserve deposits receive less than 1% interest while inflation erodes the principal? Is it more ethical to watch overtime in the jail escalate unabated while use of some of that collected surplus sales tax revenue might relieve some of that overtime by hiring one or two guards? Is sustaining a promise the ethical goal? Another question that perhaps many do not want to answer asks, who misses $0.005 when they buy a $1 candy bar? As American taxpayers, we are burdened by permanent taxes. With each state and federal administration, the number of new permanent taxes increases. It is likely that the broader argument offered by those that question the ethics of the current County Board administration and their moves to use collected surplus sales tax revenue is that they fear the creation of yet another permanent tax. Arguments suggest that use of the surplus sales tax revenue will expand the size of county government and that could happen. But, the deeper question asks, is it more ethical to continue to spend ever expanding levels of overtime salaries or is it more ethical to use the collected sales tax revenue to hire new jail guards to reduce overtime spending? The answer lays in the mind of the reader. A preferable direction for this debate would be for members of the County Board to hold an open forum to debate this question. There are two paths available to county officials: (1) to sustain the sales tax collections or (2) end the collection when the Jail Bonds are paid in full. Of course, the public may come to any County Board meeting and speak out about any matter of general interest but, the apathy of the community remains overwhelming. It is important for the Boone County Board to create a plan to bring this matter to the public for their consideration rather than to “evolve” into what many believe is a further compromise of ethics. The County Board should develop ideas and move forward with public debate to hear what the community wants. There is no need for another advisory referendum if the County Board promoted and held an open public forum. The County Board will do what they need to do and rather than to rely on borrowed capital or to access reserve funding, every option must be considered. The public should expect nothing less if the public expects to have the same continued level of services provided by county government. But, we repeat our request that the Boone County Board host a public forum to offer an open airing of ideas regarding the Public Safety Sales Tax and use of that funding rather than to ignore and to deny the voice of the community. OBITUARIES Buck, David, 94, Belvidere, October 3rd Downey, Marion, 80, Belvidere, September 29th Goebel, Robert, 83, Caledonia, September 29th Pachocha, Krystyna, 67, Poplar Grove, October 4th Skaradzinski, Jeffrey, 63, Belvidere, October 1st Boone County Real Estate Sales September 17th-30th CORRECTION Some called The Journal to inform us that ethical questions discussed in last weeks’ Editorial regarding the Public Safety Sales Tax were misstated. This correction will attempt to alter the record but, there is a cliché from court proceedings that recites, “You cannot un-ring the bell.” Those that commented claimed they heard not only those engaged in the selling of the sales tax referendum promising that the tax would end in 2018, but they remember the same message heard from Boone County elected officials. Under Illinois law it is illegal for elected officials to campaign for passage or defeat of referenda measures left to the voters to decide. However, Illinois law allows elected officials to answer questions about a measure and that is where the letter of the law may be bent. The tone, the language used, the body movements and many other messages may be sent with a simple gesture. If anyone is unsure of the substance of that sentence they should read Marshall McLuhan’s book Understanding Media. Many claim they heard elected officials promise that the Public Safety Sales Tax measure would end when the bonds are paid-off. They believe they also heard that the collected revenue from the tax would only be used to pay bond interest and principal. The Editorial last week did not consider that elected officials could have “suggested” or made direct statements favoring passage of the tax and stating clearly that the tax would end by/or before 2018. Many here believe that ethics are being compromised when current elected officials want to alter what many claim was promised. The Journal apologizes for any misunderstanding that our Editorial last week might have caused.

By Danielle Wilson To be a settler. Today, we don’t look at ourselves as such. We move and relocate our lives, are families, our pets and our jobs, to places already filled with inhabitants and call it home. Some of us move around like nomads, never staying in one place for very long. Others like to stay in one place like thousands of years ago when nomads started practicing a sedentary culture, thus becoming the first “settlers”. Most every square mile of our country has been explored and has a way paved to travel through to and fro. We have mountain ranges that, for lack of better words, are too barbaric and unforgiving to the human body to be able to maintain a permanent residency. But there are those who try and some succeed in adapting and surviving to harsh climate, we call them ‘Mountain Men’. In cultural anthropology, sedentism (sometimes called sedentariness) simply refers to the practice of living in one place for a long time. Settlers came to barley charted territories that had few to no population and became a permanent part of a growing community in that area. In the last 30 years, archaeological research has shown the earliest sedentism began with on-site agriculture and cattle breeding. Most researchers now believe that sedentism was a prerequisite for the first agriculture to occur. Sedentism usually meant more people, sturdier houses, new stone tools, more jewelry, burials or cemeteries, more long-distance goods and also clear signs of social stratification. Social stratification is typically distinguished as three social classes: the upper class, the middle class, and the lower class. The basis of which we live be today began oh so very long ago. We as a society still are placed in three different classes of people by our wealth and social stature. Prior to European habitation of Illinois, one would find that there was a fairly even split in the landscape pattern and composition of vegetation in McHenry County, Illinois, by a survey conducted between 1833 and 1838. McHenry County was mapped by the U.S. Public Land Survey (PLS) as 50 % prairie, 44 % timber, 3 % scattering timber and less than 1 % barrens. One would also find large carnivores more commonly associated with the Western United States, such as bobcats, foxes, red and timber wolves near the forested belts that ran along streams here. In this region that broke the vast expanses of prairie, robust winter grapes and Virginia creeper vines hung from sugar maples, elms, hickories, black walnuts and several species of oak and ash trees. River otters were observed in the waterways of Illinois where soft-shelled turtles and more than seventy species of freshwater mussels inhabited. Beyond the forests that snaked through the expanses of the Northern Illinois prairie, large Elk and Bison herds cultivated among the native Indian Grass and Big Bluestem grasses. For the ‘Settler’ then and now, the native beaver proved to be a nuisance. The beavers natural way of life includes building damns in rivers and streams. This is problematic for farmers and settlers of Northern Illinois since when the waters flood farm land it ruins agricultural crops. These floods will also ruin roads, transportation routes, and byways from field to field. The largest North American rodent is the American beaver. In Marengo in December of 2014, a beaver fossil was found, to be exact, it was a giant beaver (Castoroides ohioensis) incisor. This was the first in McHenry County and only the 16th reported in Illinois. The early settlers had to deal with the over abundance of rodent beaver and trapping was a way to make money while eliminating the problem. Early Pleasant Grove (Marengo), Illinois settlers used the furs for barter and trades, and clothing materials. Marengo was originally named Pleasant Grove from a grove of trees near the town site. Marengo established its name from The Battle of Marengo, which was fought on 14 June 1800 between the French and Austria. The town was named to commemorate the battle and that battle was the victory that sealed the success of Napoleon’s Italian campaign of 1800 . As European settlers had made their way to the established Mid West, the native foliage and flora would be proven to be a good resource for income, food, building materials, and heat source. The land was found to be a gold mine for vast amounts of agriculture. Agriculture in the Midwest United States represents one of the most intense areas of agriculture in the world. Today, this area is not only critically important for the United States economy but also for world exports of grain and meat. The economic value of agriculture in the Midwest encompasses corn, soybean, livestock, vegetables, fruits, tree nuts, berries, nursery and greenhouse plants. Flash forward, Richard and Maureen Mikyska and Jim Sweet, founded the annual event of Marengo Settlers’ Day In Our 20th Year way back in 1971. Mikyska, owner of Brandt’s Pharmacy, and Sweet, a local dentist, came up with the name Settlers’ Day. Because Harvard’s Milk Days was already a proven success, they took some of that same idea and built upon it. At about the same time, Marengo’s Chamber of Commerce was in its infancy. The Chamber of Commerce became the “operator” and did most of the work for ten years. Later, Settlers’ Days was incorporated as an entity of its own. In the beginning, Marengo Settlers’ Days, was in August and coincided with the sidewalk sale they had back in 1971. It just grew from there: A beauty pageant, baton twirlers, a carnival, music for the young adolescents and something for the older generations too. They’ve always wanted to keep the festival exciting and fun with different attractions. Offered over the years, helicopters, skydivers, hot air balloon rides, artist and military representatives have been some of the big attractions. In 2014, Marengo Settlers’ Day feature its First Annual Baby Contest and Richard and Maureen Mikyska were the Grand Marshals. This years Marengo Settlers’ Days – There’s No Place Like Home, will be from October 8th to the 12th, 2015. The weekend will be packed with contests, arts, music, food, carnival rides, and of course the Parade on Sunday from 11am-2pm. You can still sign-up & register for events and contests, go to www.settlersdays.com. On behalf of the Journal we appreciate the communities support and participation in this Marengo home town event. Springfield Old Soviet Union Style By Scott Reeder Illinois News Network SPRINGFIELD – Democracy may not be dead in Illinois, but it sure is circling the drain. It’s the dirty little secret of the Illinois General Assembly; most members aren’t so much elected as anointed. Only about 40 percent of candidates actually face an opponent when they run for office. Illinois sort of functions like the old Soviet Union — candidates appear on the ballot unopposed — and the “voters” are expected to endorse them during the “election.” Doesn’t sound like much of an election, does it? So how did we get in this predicament? The majority party in the General Assembly has gerrymandered legislative districts in a manner designed to ensure it’s continued control. That’s part of the reason why the Democratic Party has a supermajority status in both the state House and Senate. Politicians distort and stretch their districts into strange shapes for two reasons: To get more seats for their political party and to get re-elected without having to run a substantial campaign. Potential candidates don’t run because they look at how district has been drawn and know they can’t possibly win. Since political parties recruit candidates and help fund their campaigns, party bosses, like House Speaker Mike Madigan, have a big say in who is fielded. Using sophisticated computer programs, Madigan and his cohorts have drawn the House districts to protect incumbent Democrats. And while Madigan is the master of this dark craft, to be fair Illinois Republicans have a history of engaging in this behavior as well. Instead of voters picking legislators, we have legislators picking voters. So just how bad is it in Illinois? According to Ballotpedia.com, in 2014, only 39 percent of all Illinois legislative candidates faced an opponent in the general election. That means more than 60 percent of the time, voters don’t have a choice on who to vote for. How does Illinois stack up? Well, Michigan rated 100 percent in contested races, with every 2014 legislative district fielding at least two major-party candidates. And California and Minnesota had competitive races in more than 90 percent of their legislative districts. Illinois, on the other hand, ranked in the bottom fifth for competitiveness. Petitions are being passed to place a measure on the ballot that would amend the state constitution and have an independent commission draw legislative boundaries. Also, Gov. Bruce Rauner is pushing for the General Assembly to vote for a similar measure. In fact, he says redistricting reform is so critical that he won’t consider a budget compromise until lawmakers vote on such a measure. But legislators don’t like competition. They want to keep things the way they are — with Soviet style elections. After all. They value their job security.

The petition for Executive Clemency seeks to have the Governor pardon Cruz or reduce his sentence. Cruz was previously sentenced in May 2014 to 8 years in the Department of Corrections. His projected date of release is February 2021. Boone County State’s Attorney has objected to the petition and will argue against any relief. “Throughout his petition for clemency, Cruz claimed to accept responsibility for what he had done, but he never identified in his petition anything he did was wrong,” Courier commented. “The State believes Mr. Cruz will only learn how to be held accountable by serving the remainder of his sentence.” On May 21, 2012, just after 9:00 p.m., Cruz was passing a SUV in a no-passing zone southbound on Beloit Road when he struck a pick-up truck and collided with the SUV near Townhall Road. One of the passengers of the SUV, Mary Daniels, was paralyzed from the neck down as a result of a spinal cord injury. Following the crash, Cruz began walking away from the scene and was stopped by a firefighter approximately ¾ of a mile from the accident scene. Cruz refused all chemical testing. A search warrant was then obtained for an involuntary blood draw. Lab results later revealed Cruz’s blood alcohol content to be .14 grams per deciliter. Cruz was a thirteen-year veteran of the Rockford Police Department who was off duty at the time of the crash. Belvidere Auto Maintenance, Inc. C ount on us for fair,friendly service!
