1 In Our 20th Year The Boone County Journal January 8th COUNTY LOCAL NEWS, OPINION & HISTORY FREE Real Journalism for a Real Democracy Published Every Friday January8th, 2016 Vol 20 Issue 35 No Paperboys By James Middleton They once occupied street corners in cities across the nation and fought for the right to conduct their business there that involved selling newspapers. They were streetsmart, wise, and they were also tough kids. Yet, news gathering and selling the news at the turn of the century was a tough business for all those involved. Reporters in those days raced from story-to-story and often had fights with other reporters or survived threats from their competitors and also figured out how to get past police lines. The noted photo-journalist Robert Capa said of his competitors, If your pictures are not good enough you are not close enough. Another top photo-journalist who was close enough and often the first to the scene was Weegee or Arthur Fellig. He was a freelance photographer who worked primarily the lower east side of New York City. Weegee followed police cars and listened to a police scanner and raced to the scene of crimes, often of gangland shootings. He was best known for his trade during the 1930s and the 1940s in New York City when gangland murders flourished in New York City. But, the competition for a lucrative corner was just as keen for the paperboys as for the reporters who raced to get the scoop. Legend has it that the first paperboys were hired by the New York Sun in The newspaper ran a want-ad, To the unemployed, a number of steady men can find employment by vending this newspaper. Instead of unemployed men being hired, teams of young boys were hired for a fraction of the price. The boys sold the afternoon edition of the Sun and unemployed men sold the morning editions. The effort was so successful, other newspapers in New York, Chicago and large metropolitan daily s in London and Paris also embraced the effort employing boys to do what would have been a man s job. The photograph shown here was shot by Lewis Hine, a famous photo-journalist and muckraker who focused on child labor as the subject of his work. To a great extent, his harrowing photographs showing children working in a wide variety of exploitive jobs led to the passage of child labor laws in Europe and in America. Elected officials saw his photographs and legislated to exercise greater control over all businesses that were exploiting children for their labor. Even in Belvidere there were newsboys who worked the streets to sell newspapers by the single copy. However, there were also newsboys who rode their bicycles and delivered newspaper to homes. That endeavor was deemed far less exploitive and far less dangerous than the work that newsboys performed on street corners. They would stand at the corner where cars, buses and streetcars would stop to allow cross traffic to flow on the adjoining lanes and sell daily newspapers to anyone with a penny. Streets such as State Street in Rockford and State Street in Belvidere were ambitiously pursued by the paperboys at the turn of the prior century as was State Street in Chicago or Fifth Avenue in New York. The livelihood of the paperboys and their families were at stake and as long as there were afternoon editions published, the paperboys were there to get their supply and to anchor their corner. In many instances, the paperboys even developed regular customers. In particular paperboys in the 1920s and 1930s who worked LaSalle Street in Chicago or Wall Street in New York had regular customers. The paperboys knew where to stand and when their customer came by as they moved to the subway or from an office to catch a bus or a cab. The paperboys knew their customers and they knew that people, in general, were people of habit. The customers came to work and they left from work at about the same time five days a week. With this knowledge the paperboys relied on a predictable level of income with a little bit more if they were lucky and could catch a new customer from the sound of their voice. Most of the paperboys of that age were just boys selling newspapers on corners after school and many worked in place of school. Some of them claimed that they learned far more about the world by selling newspapers. But of course, they did not learn mathematics beyond making change, nor did they learn about literature or even how to write, beyond knowing what the headlines read. Science and other areas of study might have taken the paperboys longer to learn on the street but, the paperboys learned other aspects of human behavior that even today are often ignored in public schools. The demise of afternoon newspapers led to the decline of paperboys. As the decades matured through the 20th Century to the 1980s and 1890s paperboys were no longer needed in towns, cities or major cities. On September 11, 2001, there were no paperboys on the streets of New York that afternoon, even though the city daily s published rare afternoon editions. By the later years of the 20th Century most newspapers were delivered either through the United States Postal Service or by adult drivers from a car. Today those living in Rockford, Belvidere and in the outlying villages of the county receive their edition of the Rockford Register Star or the Chicago Tribune and the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal each morning delivered by a man driving a car moving from house-tohouse.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Dear Editor: I am writing to thank and support Michelle Courier as our State s Attorney. Over the last four years, I have participated in the Law Explorer Program that she created. Being a part of the Explorer Program has taught me so many things. I learned firsthand about so many areas of our legal system and more. Without this program, I don t think I would have ever seen these things. It has helped me to be sure that I truly do want to become a lawyer. I have also been able to become certain with my choice for college after being given this opportunity. Participating in the mock trials has helped me become much more confident in myself. This has also made me certain I want to become a lawyer and that I can do it! Working with Michelle in the Explorer Program and later interning in her office for two summers, I saw firsthand how much Michelle cares about our community. She also cares about giving kids an opportunity. I can t thank Michelle enough for the knowledge and experience she has given me. She has been a mentor and an incredible role model for me and other students in our community. Sincerely, Caitlin Sharkey LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Dear Editor, I am writing in response to your article THE $1 MILLION PUPPY TAJ MAHAL, dated December 25, First and foremost let me say that your article is an absolute insult to Animal Services Staff, volunteers and rescuers, everywhere! It is a real kick in the teeth to those of us who spend our spare time (and money) volunteering year round to care for abused, abandoned, and unwanted animals. To refer to the new building as a Puppy Taj Mahal is also unfair to the current animal service personnel who have had to operate out of an inefficient facility, as well as to the persons responsible for the many hours of extensive research and planning that was involved in constructing a facility capable of properly handling the various issues of animals in our growing community. Let me clarify some points as to what the new facility may be used for, along with temporary shelter for lost or stray cats and dogs. A Pet Food Pantry which assists families in feeding their pets Retail Sales of Pet Products Adoption & Fundraising Events Volunteer Training/Pet Owner Classes Each of these provide potential revenue to assist in operations of the facility. Your article implied that the County Board has done something unethical concerning the extra amount of money needed for this project. After speaking to the County Board Chairman, Bob Walberg, I assure you that they did no such thing. They did not scam anyone. The County Board and the Roads and Capital Improvements Committee inadvertently underestimated the cost of the land development portion of this project. The extra funds needed for this will come from revenue created by a $5 increase in the cost of dog tags and this fee went into effect in So, to be precise, the extra money needed will be coming from animal owners. The building will be constructed with the $800,000 that was approved by the voters. One final statement of yours that I would like to address is, Some believe that human emotions and human sensitivities are felt by animals. This is not a belief. There are scientific studies that prove animals do indeed have some of the same feelings that we do. There is no fundamental difference between man & animals in their ability to feel pleasure, pain, happiness & misery Charles Darwin. These emotions are not exclusive to humans. As James Herriot (All Creatures Great and Small) once stated, I hope to make people realize how totally helpless animals are, how dependent on us, trusting as a child must, that we will be kind & take care of their needs. They are an obligation put on us, a responsibility we have no right to neglect, nor violate by cruelty. Thank you, again to all the citizens who voted to support the new Animal Services Building. Sincerely, Jane Gordon Dear Editor, Michelle Courier, now in her second term as Boone County State s Attorney, deserves re-election. I became acquainted with Michelle through the Belvidere Rotary Club. Michelle definitely lives the Rotary motto of Service Above Self. In my years of serving as a CASA in Boone County, I have appreciated all Michelle and her staff do to support abused and neglected children in our county. I am impressed with her efforts to reduce gang activity which is vitally important to our safety. She has initiated the First Offender Program in Boone County which provides first time, non-violent felony offenders with the opportunity to keep a conviction from being permanently entered on their record providing they are approved by a citizen panel and complete the requirements placed upon them by the State s Attorney s Office. Michelle is a very competent attorney and truly a woman of integrity. Please support her with your vote.

3 In Our 20th Year The Boone County Journal January 8th Strategic Plans Of the governmental bodies found in Boone County, only a few have engaged in serious strategic planning exercises. Serious Strategic Planning could be defined as an effort designed to set goals, to assign paths to reach those goals and finally, to set forth to accomplish those goals. Though local voters were told that a five-year capital improvements plan would be created for Belvidere, the fruition of that promise remains to be seen. Another planning statement was also issued a few years ago by a local school district but that plan has not been fully realized. In 2015 Boone County government set out to develop a countywide strategic plan. This plan and the status of that plan will be a topic of discussion on January 16 at 8 a.m. when County Board members meet to discuss the plan with members of the community at the County Board Retreat. The community is invited to attend but more to participate. In most human endeavors, it is better to plan and to be prepared than to be caught without a plan. Unexpected contingencies and consequences can occur with even the best governmental plans. Though, plans that are set do not always bear fruit, many might agree it is far better to abide by the motto of the Boy Scouts of America, Be prepared. The Boone County Strategic Plan is not a genius document that was compiled with input solicited from the most enlightened individuals that could be found. Revered professors and philosophic thinkers from academia were not consulted for their vision of tomorrow. Instead, department heads in county government and local people were consulted that have experience living and working in Boone County. This Strategic Plan is a local plan written and conceived by local people. The Plan is one that embraces many of the soundest reasons why people live in the county but the plan also challenges those who will read the plan to aspire to a more productive path for county social and economic development. The Plan that County representatives created is a work in progress and that means the Plan was written with an expectation of periodic revision. Some involved in the project said that they expect the Plan will and must be revised to respond to changing times. One of those who dedicated a lot of the work to organize the effort said that the Plan was created to be a living plan. Members of the County Board dedicated the opening portion of the administrative and legislative committee meeting this week to decide what aspects of the Plan would be discussed in the January 16th Retreat. One member suggested that they should discuss the important changes that occurred in the county last year. Another offered that discussion should consider ideas conceived by a wide range of committees in adjoining counties that have arisen to discuss regionalism as a path for future municipal development. The issue of regionalism has inspired considerable debate over the last decade. Regional approaches to growth were debated in Boone County when Town-Hall Meetings were held to discuss how growth could be controlled. The thought was that growth could be better managed when viewed from a regional approach. There have been meetings between municipal leaders from adjoining counties but little has ever been resolved to assert a true regional approach to social and economic development. Today, regionalism is not any nearer full fruition than where the idea stood years ago. The lack of movement is attributable to fears that smaller municipalities have of becoming invisible when compared to the larger municipalities. The question of managing size differences between municipalities has gotten in the way of establishing solid goals and plans to embrace regionalism for the benefit of all of northern Illinois. However, with the creation of a Strategic Plan, Boone County has taken a tangible step toward working more effectively and efficiently with neighboring municipalities to draft a viable regional development plan. County representatives will discuss the ideas for regional future growth and development on January 16. Members of the community are invited to hear what could result in the not too distant future when the future is discussed at the Boone County Board Retreat. The event occurs on Saturday, January 16, beginning at 8 a.m. The Retreat will be held in the County Board meeting room at the County Administrative Center campus on Logan Avenue. These January Retreats have become an annual meeting for the County Board and members of the community are welcome to be engaged with elected officials that are looking to the future instead of merely keeping house. Those who are prepared for the future can better manage the future and can have input in directing the future. Unless reasonable plans and preparations are made any municipal body can be at sea and over the years, while the state had not made plans for the future, the state remains today lost at sea. That will likely not be the case for Boone County if elected officials function within the broad guidelines of their living Strategic Plan that is designed to benefit residents of the county and possibly, those in the region. Plans Being Set For County Retreat By James Middleton Often discussion occurs at municipal committee meetings with no action planned other than for the members to express their views and debate ideas. It is often at events such as this when viewers can leave the proceedings with a clearer understanding of who their elected officials really are. Such was the case at the Boone County Board administrative and legislative meeting this week when discussion occurred addressing plans for the annual Boone County Board January Retreat that will occur on January 16. The new chairman of the committee, Sherry Giesecke (District 1), encouraged the members to bring their ideas to discuss the county Strategic Plan that was finished late last year. Ms. Giesecke and county representative Jeffrey Carlisle (District 3) were co-chair of the Plan and who moved the Plan forward. As the discussion ran in the meeting, the question of a regional approach to development and planning arose. Mr. Carlisle responded to earlier comments by saying, Discussing the Strategic Plan is a good idea but is there a road map for all of these other committees discussing regional plans? This could be a quagmire. The chairman of the County Board, Bob Walberg (District 1) said, There is a structure but you (Mr. Carlisle) sound like the Rockford Mayor Larry Morrissey. Mr. Walberg has participated in many of those meetings designed to configure a regional approach to future development that have occurred in neighboring municipalities. Mr. Carlisle suggested that the county establish a structure for their plans before the Retreat meeting occurs. Some of the members shared their views on planning and on discussions that could arise in the Retreat. The work of the committee this week was almost a process to develop an agenda for the Retreat. In response to Mr. Carlisle, the Boone County administrator, Ken Terrinoni said, I m not sure what a roadmap for these groups would be.

Mr. Carlisle added that he assumed all of the various regional groups have goals or a set of goals. No one responded. Then he added, We need to have an idea of how this will all work and how we can work with all of these groups. In short, he said, We need to get our act together. All of this regional work is good but we need to organize ourselves. Mr. Terrinoni offered a note of encouragement, With all of this discussion of regionalism, we have to get on the train. He also questioned if anyone involved has a clear idea of how all of these dispirit committees and governmental entities will all work together. Mr. Terrinoni concluded, Now we are planning our county meeting (Retreat) and we have to be involved (in regional development discussions) or be left out. About nine years ago a meeting occurred in Belvidere at the Community Building that included the mayors of Belvidere and Rockford who met with the chairmen of the Boone County and Winnebago county boards. In addition, representatives of Growth Dimensions and other neighboring municipalities were present along with the mayor of Rochelle. The purpose of the meeting was for leaders to consider ideas to establish a regional approach to economic growth and development and to hear how Rochelle was managing the growth they were experiencing. The Rail Port had just opened in Rochelle and that city was experiencing significant economic growth and Continued on the next page... SERVING R OCKFORD SINCE E.

The meeting ran over a luncheon and a couple other similar events were planned and a couple of them occurred. But since that event, groups have arisen to consider a regional approach to growth and economic development but little tangible results have followed. There are today a number of groups in Rockford, Belvidere and elsewhere that have arisen to discuss a regional approach to growth. Mr. Carlisle was seeking to gain understanding of what these individual groups were hoping to accomplish and how the County Board can and should be involved. There was no tangible result to the discussion in the administrative and legislative committee meeting. However, the members of the committee expressed their views on including discussion of the county Strategic Plan at the January Retreat. Consensus was reached to include consideration of the Plan as a part of the Retreat agenda. The County Board January Retreat is scheduled to convene on Saturday, January 16 at 8 a.m. at the Boone County Board meeting room in the County Administrative Center on Logan Avenue. The public and members of the community are invited to attend. Mr. Lundin clarified what needs to occur before the county could take possession of a new truck. First, he said, bids would have to be solicited from truck dealer that could provide a truck chassis that meets the needs of the county. Second, another company would have to be solicited for bids to manufacture the box that would sit on the back of the truck. Mr. Lundin suggested that two companies are needed for bids and because two companies would provide the final vehicle, that would complicate delivery to occur at a specified date. Mr. Lundin suggested that the truck would be produced before the box would be finished and that meant the truck dealer would want to be paid upon delivery of the truck to the box manufacturer. Many on the committee initially supported Mr. Johnson s suggestion but, as Mr. Lundin clarified the specifics, the support disappeared. Mr. Lundin added, after amending the budget, We d go out for bids in March. We might be able to get the truck in from two to three months then the truck would be delivered to the company that would make the box. The box will take the longest. He also said, that he needs to have delivery before snow would fall. The replacement truck in question would replace one of the county snow plow truck needed for the winter season. We need to get going on this, Mr. Lundin said, to be ready by next winter. One of the representatives asked if the State of Illinois provides a list of available vehicles. Mr. Lundin added, No, the state cannot help here and we have to go out for bids from manufacturers or suppliers. With that, discussion of the question ended and a vote was taken on the motion to amend the 2016 budget, to go out for bids and to buy the replacement county truck in this fiscal year. A voice vote was unanimous and Mr. Terrinoni will be speaking with Ms. Courier to clarify the specific process the County Board must engage to amend the Fiscal Year 2016 county budget. County Needs A New Truck By James Middleton The headline above might not be notable unless one considers the arduous task it was for County representatives to craft a budget for Fiscal Year Boone County elected officials debated and cut and set aside many infrastructure needs and other initiatives to arrive at a budget document that proposed a very thin surplus for the current fiscal year. One of the initiatives that was approved for the current fiscal year was for the county to buy a replacement truck. However, even though the funding for the purchase of a new truck was planned and budgeted for Fiscal 2016, the line item was not put in the final budget document that was approved in the November County Board meeting. Unless one is aware of governmental activities and budgeting, they might think, to add a budgeted item that was ignored, by mistake is a simple matter. The addition of the line item is not simply accomplished. Illinois law is rather explicit regarding altering a previously approved county budget. If the need is to satisfy an emergency, the budget may be amended through a legislative process. However, Illinois law does not define what constitutes an emergency. The balancing act is delicate with steps, some of which are detailed and others that are not to legally amend a previously enacted budget. Exclusion of the funding to buy the road truck was not purposeful but was one detail that escaped review before the final document was delivered to the County Board for approval. Boone County administrator Ken Terrinoni introduced the item in the Boone County Board roads and capital improvements meeting, by saying, This is a time when we have to eat crow and admit, we did not get this item into the 2016 budget. The item would provide funding to purchase a new road truck for the county. The money is available and the money had previously been approved but the item was not included in the final budget document. One committee member asked how urgent the purchase was. County engineer Rich Lundin answered, We cannot really extend through all of this year into next. The box is in very bad shape and needs repairs. The clutch on the truck is going, the bushings are also going and we cannot go much further. He added, In my opinion, to repair this truck would be a waste of good money. This is a 1999 truck and we have well over 100,000 miles on the odometer. Mr. Lundin had earlier estimated last year when he presented his budget request to the County Board finance committee that the cost of replacement with a new vehicle could be $185,000. He added after the meeting that the cost of the truck chassis could total $100,000 and the cost of the box could total at or above $70,000. A motion was put to the floor to approve the purchase of this vehicle but that did not end the discussion. County representative Karl Johnson (District 2) asked, if the item and purchase funding for the truck was not in the budget, does the County Board really have to do anything. Mr. Terrinoni said, We will have to amend the budget and to do this, I really have to talk to the state s attorney (Michelle Courier). I believe that we can amend the budget if the change is an emergency. He later suggested Ms. Courier would be needed to define what constitutes an emergency. Mr. Terrinoni added, We need to get the procedure down. Mr. Johnson then suggested, Is it possible that we would order the truck and take delivery of the truck after December 1? We would have our new budget for Fiscal year 2017 in place by that time, the line item could be included and we wouldn t have to amend the budget.
