ENVIRONMENT | WILDLIFE IN THE SAUK VALLEY

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 pho-tos of the bird to Sauk Valley Media. On Tues-day afternoon, a pho-tographer 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 repro-ductive year for snowy owls, resulting in many offspring, said TJ Benson, a research scientist at the Univer-sity of Illinois’ Prairie Research Institute.

The young “get kicked out and have nowhere to go,” Ben-son 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 abun-dant population of lemmings, which are small rodents typically found in the Arctic, Benson said.

The snowy owls, though, may not sur-vive 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 execu-tive director, said she hasn’t seen a snowy owl yet this year.

“A part-time employ-ee for the district saw 11 near Seward. I haven’t been so fortu-nate,” Carey said. “I’m on the lookout all the time.”

The ReviewDIXON

BY MATT [email protected]

800-798-4085, ext. 529

DIXON – Budget restric-tions 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 park-ing 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 Palmy-ra 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 Wednes-day.

“We got an estimate, which was probably a very good and fair esti-mate,” 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 bud-get for the current fiscal

year, which ends March 31, is $1,332,595, Carey said, adding that next fis-cal year’s budget is pro-jected to be $1,295,328.

Carpeting in the park district’s office also needs to be repaired, Carey said, but just like the park-ing lot it will have to wait until money becomes available in the budget.

The park district board also approved a lease with Dixon Petunia Fes-tival 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.

Park District not expected to repair parking lotOffice repairs will wait, too

2014 ELECTION | REPUBLICAN PRIMARY FOR GOVERNOR

CHICAGO (AP) – Per-sonal jabs and controver-sies dominated Thurs-day’s televised Illinois gubernatorial debate where the four Republi-can candidates tried to distinguish themselves – including two state sena-tors who lag behind in polling and fundraising – days before the start of early voting for the pri-mary.

From the opening min-utes, Sen. Kirk Dillard was particularly aggres-sive at making personal digs at the other three: Sen. Bill Brady on los-ing the GOP primary in 2006 and governor’s race in 2010, Treasur-er Dan Rutherford on recent allegations of misconduct, and busi-nessman Bruce Rauner for his massive fund-raising, television ads

that have dominated the airwaves, and even his inexpensive wristwatch.

The three weren’t shy about shooting back, with Brady accusing Dil-lard of being an unreli-able Republican.

But all four took aim at each other, from links to high-profile Chica-go 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 Mon-day.

“My friend Bill Brady has lost twice and the third time’s not a charm. Mr. Rauner spent mil-lions 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 Illi-nois, WLS-TV and Univi-sion.

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

be known until after this election is over with. But it will be.”

Rauner, who portrays himself as an outsider who will go up against “ g o v e r n m e n t u n i o n bosses,” alluded to the others as career politi-cians, prompting each of them to defend their leadership and time in Springfield. Rutherford was a longtime lawmak-er before he was elected treasurer in 2010.

“I’m running against the culture of failure in Springfield,” said Raun-er, 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 con-tributed money to sup-

port him and other Dem-ocrats.

The ReviewMarch 4, 2014

LEE COUNTY | LAWSUIT AGAINST SHERIFF’S DEPUTIES

BY DAVID GIULIANI

DIXON – A federal judge has thrown out all but one of the claims against Lee County sher-iff’s deputies in a clash with an Amboy man in 2009.

On Tuesday, District Judge Frederick Kapala dismissed the claims that the deputies violated the Fourth Amendment rights of Wilson Bur-nell, now 56. The judge let stand the claim that the deputies used excessive force.

The claim of excessive force, Kapala said, was a “genuine issue of material fact which must be determined by a jury. ...”

Sheriff John Varga said Wednesday he was “happy” with the judge’s decision, but declined to comment further because it was pending litigation. He referred questions to the county’s attorney, Patrick Moore of Rockford, who didn’t return a call for comment.

Burnell’s attorney, Rene Hernandez of Rockford, said the excessive force claim was the main part of the lawsuit.

“Everything else was collateral,” he said.The Sheriff’s Department and Burnell are disput-

ing the facts about what happened on Nov. 13, 2009, at Burnell’s Amboy home. In 2011, Burnell sued the county and deputies Andrew Tarr and William Rob-erts.

Earlier the day of Nov. 13, 2009, Burnell called the VA and asked that all his appointments be canceled, but

he did not threaten to harm himself or others, according to Hernandez’s filings.

The department, however, described Bur-nell as a “large suicidal adult” who physically resisted officers’ attempts to take him into cus-tody. The deputies, whose department got word about Burnell’s situation, wanted a mental

health professional to evaluate him, according to court filings.

By the deputies’ account, Burnell tried to bar-ricade himself inside his home, an effort that included slamming deputies’ body parts in the door, taking a deputy’s pepper spray, and attempting to disarm another of his Taser.

In a deposition, Roberts said he had some familiarity with Burnell and that he feared Burnell was holding a gun in a hand he was hiding.

Later, the deputies found a loaded pistol on a coffee table about 6 feet from the door, Roberts said.

The deputies said they used pepper spray and a Taser while taking Burnell into custody.

In his ruling, the judge cited state law.“[O]nce Burnell used force to resist the initial seizure,

he had committed a crime. It is clear in Illinois that a private citizen may not use force against a police offi-cer to resist even an illegal arrest,” the judge wrote.

Hernandez said his client wanted to take the matter to a jury. The deputies claim they went to the house for a welfare check, he said, but they beat up Burnell instead.

“Let’s see if a jury agrees whether this force was

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, Bur-nell’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.

Judge throws out most claims But says excessive force ‘must be determined by a jury’ 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 Depart-ment 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.

ROCK FALLS

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 ordi-nance in both cities Wednesday night at the Commu-nity 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 grad-ed inspection system would be similar to the one used for Section 8 housing.

Rock Falls Building Inspector Mark Searing and Ster-ling Building and Zoning Superintendent Amanda Schmidt had copies of a draft of the proposed ordi-nance 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 inconsis-tencies. 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 elec-trical violations, and even dead animals.

Searing said that although those types of properties are not the norm, those situations make a new ordi-nance 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 own-ers 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

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 Chat-tic of Sterling said. “There are no statistics – nothing to validate this course of action. It’s unfair and a viola-tion 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.

Landlords share their objections Rock Falls, Sterling are crafting rental inspections rules

What’s next? There are no next steps or meetings planned, as

both cities want to complete their budgeting process-es before finalizing a rental inspections ordinance. The Rock Falls committee will consider comments made Wednesday as it continues to shape inspec-tions rules.

WARM-UP DISH

BY MARLENE PARRISHMCT News Service

Lamb Stew with Butternut SquashIt’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 super-markets sell shoulder, although it often is boned, rolled and tied; untie it, open it out and cut into cubes. Because I like a slightly thick-ened sauce, when the stew comes out of the oven, I stir 2 teaspoons cornstarch into about ! cup of cold chicken stock and stir into the stew, then cook until thickened. Serve with polenta and a side salad.

2 tablespoons vegeta-ble oil, divided

1! pound lamb shoul-der, in 1-inch cubes

Salt1 medium onion, sliced# cup carrot coins,

thickly sliced2 to 3 cloves garlic,

sliced14-ounce can diced

tomatoes1 cup chicken stock,

plus extra if needed1 cup red wine2 sprigs thyme1 sprig rosemary2 cups cubed butternut

squash (3⁄4-inch)Cracked pepperPolenta, recipe at rightHeat the oven to 325

degrees. In a heavy, ovenproof Dutch oven, heat 1 tablespoon of oil over medium-high heat. Blot the pieces of lamb dry with a paper towel, and sprinkle with salt. When the oil is hot, brown half the cubes on

all sides, about 5 min-utes. Remove the lamb to a plate with a slotted spoon and add more oil if necessary. 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 for 3 to 5 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften. Make sure not to let the garlic color too much.

Add the diced toma-

toes, stock, wine, herbs and the browned lamb, along with any juices that have accumulated. Bring the stew just to a boil over high heat, stirring gently with a wooden spoon to get up all the brown bits from the bot-tom of the pot. Cover the pot and put it in the oven. Cook until the lamb is just tender, for 1! to 2 hours.

When the lamb goes into the oven, prepare the squash. Toss the pieces with remaining 1 table-

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 tes-ter. 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.

PolentaMake polenta the quick

and easy way, using Quaker-brand corn meal and store-bought chicken broth. Add 1 cup of cold chicken broth to 1 cup cornmeal in the top of a double boiler and stir well. Add 3 cups of hot chicken broth and about ! tea-spoon salt (or to taste) and place over direct heat for about 5 minutes, stirring until the cornmeal bubbles and thickens. Add a big lump of butter and stir. Place the top of the pan over simmering water in the bottom half. Top with a lid and hold until serving time. Pour leftover polenta into a loaf pan; next day, fry slices of “mush.”

The ReviewMarch 4, 2014

ROCK FALLS

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 differ-ent than his other stops, he says.

“This is the first time in all my years in the min-istry 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 encour-age 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 meet-ing, 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 Com-munity Clergy Association and is a past president of Kiwanis, and vice presi-

dent of Whiteside Com-munity Action Network.

When he first came to the Sauk Valley, Campbell said he had heard talk of a rivalry between Ster-ling and Rock Falls. But what he actually saw was the communities brought together by difficult eco-nomic 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 col-laborate 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 vouch-ers were given in the most recent Kiwanis Coats for Kids drive. He also spends a great deal of time in nurs-ing homes out of concern for residents who have no church home.

The individual award was presented by last year’s winner, Brian Trib-ley, a pastor at Firehouse of God Ministries in Ster-ling and a part-time fire-fighter 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

worked on 10 service proj-ects over the past year.

The Bridge the Communi-ty Race Committee received the Shoulder to the Wheel organization award. Chair-man Jack Spencer accepted the award for the com-mittee. The group, led by Spencer, organized Ster-ling 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, Cham-ber president and CEO, recognized the work of all of the organization’s board members.

“ T h e b o a r d h a s embraced change with-out losing sight of what has gotten us to this point,” Bland said. “After 58 years, we’re still rel-evant, growing, and serv-

ing our community.”In his address to the

group, Mayor Bill Wescott focused on change and adaptability in the face of challenges.

“The economy didn’t go away, it just changed,” Wescott said. “The ability to change and shift gears has never been more of a priority for all of us in this room.”
