Local
students rap it up
Contest
leads to TV ad
[DEC.
8, 2000] Third
graders in Lincoln competed to be in a commercial that will be on
ESPN, TNN and Nickelodeon in January and February. The third graders
at Northwest and Central schools participated in the violence
prevention program sponsored by the Lincoln Police Department and
taught by Officer Rich Montcalm. Mrs. Miller’s third grade class
at Northwest School and Mrs. Biggs’ and Mrs. Rohrer’s combined
third grade classes at Central each composed a song, rap or chant.
Central
performed a song with the central theme of drugs, while Northwest’s
theme focused on violence prevention. The presentations were 30
seconds long.
Mayor
Joan Ritter and City Clerk Juanita Josserand judged the
presentations. Mrs. Miller’s students at Northwest performed for
the mayor and city clerk yesterday morning. Mrs. Biggs’ and Mrs.
Rohrer’s students at Central performed in the afternoon.
After
serious deliberations the judges have chosen Central as the winners
with Northwest getting first runner-up. Even though nothing more was
required than a song, they "took into consideration the special
backdrop that was created by Central," stated Officer Montcalm.
"It really added something to it." He also emphasized,
"The kids were really great!"

Liquor
license holders get chance to speak up
Council members get feedback
on proposed liquor license code
[DEC.
8, 2000]
Local
liquor license holders who met to discuss the proposed new city code with
members of the Lincoln City Council Thursday evening did just what the council
hoped they would do — gave them feedback on the new proposal, both positive and
negative. Both license holders and council members agreed to meet again after
the ordinance and zoning committee has had time to consider their suggestions.
|
Alderman Glenn
Shelton, chairman of the ordinance committee, which was in charge of drafting
the new code, told the license holders at the beginning of the meeting,
"What you say will mean a great deal to us." After the license holders
left, the consensus among council members was that at least some of the license
holders’ suggestions would probably be adopted.
![](../../images/ads/MErealty/merealty.jpg)
The biggest
objection was the 20 percent increase in license fees. Nora Edwards, who holds
the license for the OK Tavern, said, "I have to buy three liquor licenses,
three food server licenses, and tax stamps for each juke box and video game. I’m
licensed out."
Bill Haak of the
Moose Lodge noted that his organization contributes over $8,000 each year to
help children and teens, and said increasing club license fees would hurt
service organizations who help needy citizens.
![](../../images/ads/BradNeal/BradNeal.gif)
Jason Steffens of
Eckerts Inc. and Eckerts Fine Dining said license holders should have more
freedom to operate as they wished, suggesting the city have multi-use licenses
instead of "a myriad of different licenses." This would help
establishments bring in new business and would help the local economy, he said.
"Once you make the businesses pick up two or three licenses you are hurting
the businesses."
Judy McCumber of
the Fifth Street Food Mart told the council she did not think it fair that her
license to sell package liquor should be more expensive than a license to sell
liquor in a tavern. The proposed fee for package liquor (Class A) is $1,500 per
year, while the new licenses for taverns (Class B and Class C) would be $1,000
and $1,250 per year under the new code. Class B would permit sale of liquor on
the premises only, while Class C would permit sales both for retail and for
consumption on the premises.
![](../../images/ads/maple/maple092500.jpg)
The Class B and C
licenses are new categories, according to Jonathan Wright, city attorney.
Neither license ties the sale of liquor to any kind of food sales, although
either license might be held by a restaurant that also wants to have a bar.
The city will
continue to offer a license specifically for restaurants, Class E, at a yearly
cost of $750. This license, Wright explained, is quite restrictive, and allows
the sale of liquor only in conjunction with food service and does not permit
drinking at the bar.
![](../../images/ads/Key%20Printing/key.gif)
In response to
complaints about the higher fees, Shelton pointed out that liquor license fees
have not been raised since 1989, and that the 20 percent increase amounts to
less than 2 percent a year.
Susan Fuhrer,
license holder of the Blue Dog Inn, said that she believed her fee increase was
fair, but she thought some of the others were out of line, in particular the
retail sales fee.
Haji Patel asked
if the council was setting the license fees higher because other nearby
communities have higher fees. Wright said that was not the case and the city had
not looked at fees in the surrounding area.
[to top of second column in this
article]
|
![](../../images/ads/USofficeXMAS.gif)
Mayor Ritter told
the group that the fees, which total $44,750 per year, go into the city’s
general fund and help pay for city services. With the tax cap voted in by Logan
County residents several years ago, the city will see a decrease of $41,000 in
taxes to pay for services such as streets, sewers and sidewalks.
Another strong
objection was the limited number of Class C licenses, which would allow both
retail sales and sales of liquor for consumption on the premises. The Class B
and C licenses are replacements for the former tavern licenses, of which there
were 12. The new code would allow 10 Class B and 10 Class C licenses.
Steffens and
several others said that 10 Class C licenses were not enough and would force
some present license holders out of business. Alderman Patrick Madigan said that
was definitely not the council’s intention and that they would accommodate all
present liquor license holders who want a Class C license. He indicated the
council would probably increase the number of these licenses.
Still another
objection was the time set for Sunday liquor sales —
1 p.m. to midnight. Patel
said customers who come to his sports bar to watch football or racing come
earlier than 1 p.m. and asked the council to consider allowing sales to begin at
noon or even 11 a.m. Steffens pointed out that 1 p.m. is also too late for
restaurants who want to serve a champagne brunch on Sundays. Patel also asked
the council to consider allowing later hours, such as 3 a.m., on Friday and
Saturday nights. He said other communities in the area have closing times as
late as 4 a.m.
The provision
allowing 18-year-olds to sell and serve liquor if supervised by someone 21 or
older got mixed reviews. Some license holders objected, while others said it is
hard to get help and they need to hire people under 21.
The proposed new
code provides for 13 license categories, compared to six in the present code.
Categories include a license for motels and hotels that want to include liquor
in their room service ($750), a license for an establishment that wants to sell
bottled wine as part of a gift basket ($350), licenses for winemakers ($750) and
microbreweries ($650), club licenses ($425), and temporary licenses for
not-for-profit organizations ($20 a day) and for-profit organizations ($40 per
day).
"I think we accomplished what we
wanted to. We got some good input," Alderman William Melton told the
ordinance committee. Committee members agreed to rethink the suggestions and
meet again after the regular City Council meeting on Monday, Dec. 18. When the
proposed changes are finalized, liquor license holders will be invited to
another public meeting. Council members on the ordinance and zoning committee
are Shelton, Madigan, Melton, Steve Fuhrer and Michael Montcalm.

Postville Courthouse
to reopen
[DEC.
7, 2000] Postville
Courthouse State Historic Site in Lincoln, closed since April 16 for major
rehabilitation, will reopen to the public with a special reception on Saturday,
Dec. 9, from noon to 3 p.m.
The
Dec. 9 reception, co-sponsored by the Abraham Lincoln Tourism Bureau, will be
the first chance for the public to see the completely rehabilitated frontier
courthouse. Postville Courthouse will then resume its regular schedule.
[to
top of second column in this article]
|
The
$248,902 rehabilitation project was performed by RJS Construction of
Peoria and overseen by the Illinois Capital Development Board, which
manages all state construction projects. It involved the
rehabilitation or replacement of all exterior siding, doors,
windows, roofing materials and finishes. The interior work included
plastering, painting, asbestos removal, and remodeling of the site’s
two fireplaces into designs that are historically accurate. The
building also received new mechanical, electrical and security
systems; a new brick sidewalk; and a new storage shed. The last
major work on Postville Courthouse was done in 1953.
![](../../images/ads/Eckerts.gif)
Postville
Courthouse State Historical Site is administered by the Illinois
Historic Preservation Agency. It is a reproduction of the original
1840 courthouse visited by Abraham Lincoln when he traveled the
Eight Judicial Circuit as a lawyer.

Renovation
project to create
‘new face’ for LCCS
[DEC.
7, 2000] Lincoln
Christian College and Seminary is pleased to announce its plans for a
multi-million dollar renovation and construction project to sweep its campus.
The project is slated to begin as early as spring 2001.
|
President
Keith Ray explains that the project is a result of "a timely strategic
planning process, wise asset management and generous gifts from donors."
It
will include new construction and improvements in the dormitories and student
apartments. The first groundbreaking project will include a new
25,000-square-foot gymnasium that will feature seating for 1,000 people,
training and locker rooms, office space, and a weight room and athletic
equipment, as well as additional parking and landscaping.
![](../../images/ads/ThatPlace.jpg)
In
addition to the gymnasium construction, the current Service Building that is
located in heart of the campus will be remodeled into a Student Center. The
Student Center will house the student services offices, reception and conference
rooms, and a snack bar and lounge area for students to relax with their friends.
A new Service Building will be built, along with warehouse and roadway
improvements.
[to
top of second column in this article]
|
Dormitories
and student apartments will also receive welcomed makeovers. The
flat dormitory roofs covering Alumni and Titus halls will be
replaced with gabled metal roofs. Bathrooms and showers will also be
updated, along with dorm room furniture, carpeting and entryways.
Apartment buildings will receive vinyl siding, carpeting, and
bathroom updates as well.
![](../../images/ads/prairie_years/prairie.jpg)
The
project will be funded through dorm revenues, donations and
additional funding arrangements that are pending. Renovations and
construction are expected to begin in spring 2001, with anticipated
completion of its various phases throughout the summer, fall and
winter of 2001.

Courthouse
needs staffing volunteers
Renovated Postville Courthouse
sets Dec. 9 open house
[DEC.
6, 2000] The
Postville Courthouse State Historic Site on Fifth Street in Lincoln,
which has been closed since April 16 of this year, will reopen on
Saturday, Dec. 9, with an open house from noon to 3 p.m. This is a
special reception for the public to come and see the courthouse
after its $250,000 restoration, said Richard Schachtsiek, site
manager of Postville and of the Mount Pulaski Courthouse. He also
hopes to recruit volunteers to help staff the building, one of the
important sites in the Looking for Lincoln tourist program.
|
![](../../images/ads/iga/iga.gif)
"One of the
main things we are hoping to do at the reception is to let people know we are
starting a volunteer staffing program," Schachtsiek told the Lincoln
Daily News. "We are seeking staffers and interpreters who will give
time and allow us to keep the courthouse open from noon to 5 p.m. Tuesdays
through Saturdays. We will take names and telephone numbers of interested people
at the reception. After the first of the year, we will set up training dates for
volunteers. Ideally, volunteers will give only one afternoon a month to the
courthouse."
![](../../images/ads/L-Cycle-Cen.gif)
Shirley Bartelmay
and Thressia Usherwood of the Lincoln Tourist Bureau are assisting Schachtsiek
with the volunteer program. A similar volunteer program keeps the Mount Pulaski
Courthouse open.
![](../../images/120600pics/postville_article_1.jpg)
The renovation
project, overseen by the Illinois Capital Development Board, included the
replacement of all exterior siding, doors, windows, roofing material and
finishes. Interior work included plastering, painting, asbestos removal and
remodeling of the site’s two fireplaces. The building also got new mechanical,
electrical and security systems, new plumbing, a new brick sidewalk, and a new
storage shed. Schachtsiek said this is the first major update the building has
had since its construction in 1953.
![](../../images/ads/USofficeXMAS.gif)
[to
top of second column in this article]
|
He
noted that, along with bringing wiring, heating and plumbing up to
current standards and the repair of a collapsed sewer line, the
renovation also corrected some inaccuracies in the design of the
building, which is a replica of the original. The original
courthouse was purchased by Henry Ford in 1929 and is part of the
historic Greenfield Village in Dearborn, Mich.
![](../../images/120600pics/postville_article_2.jpg)
The
changes in design include 6-over-6 window panes instead of the
former 4-over-4, removal of shutters, replacement of the painted
siding with walnut siding and changes in the two fireplaces inside
the building to make them historically accurate.
"We
are very pleased with the results," Schachtsiek said. "We
were happy to have both a contractor and an architect who were
sensitive to working with historic structures." The contractor,
RJS Construction of Peoria, and the architect, Anne McGuire and
Associates of Evanston, both have had experience with restoration
work
The
exhibits in the building, which explain the operation of the Eighth
Judicial circuit and the people who traveled it, including Abraham
Lincoln, and the historic courtroom and clerk’s office on the
second floor, have not been changed.
Schachtsiek
believes Postville is an important site on the Looking for Lincoln
project because it shows how Lincoln made a living when he was
practicing law. "About one-half his time he spent traveling the
Eighth Judicial Circuit. There are only three places where you can
learn about his career on the circuit —
Postville, Mount Pulaski and Metamora courthouses," he said.
![](../../images/ads/Edward_Jones/JimSparrows.gif)
Schachtsiek says he plans
to have special events at the Postville Courthouse in the spring and
during the Art and Balloon Fest in August.
