Census
reveals ups and downs for city
[MARCH
27, 2001]
The
population of Lincoln is down by 49 people, and Alderman Glenn Shelton is sorry
he said it wasn’t so. Alderman Michael Montcalm, on the other hand, is sorry
Shelton wasn’t right.
|
|
"Several
months ago, I spoke out against a statement made by Alderman Montcalm,"
Shelton told the council Monday night. "I thought it was true, and I owe
him an apology. He said the population of Lincoln was going down, and I said
that was not so. I was wrong. He was right."
Montcalm, however,
didn’t want an apology. Instead, he said he wished he had been wrong and
Shelton had been right.
According to the
latest census figures, the population of the city dropped from 15,419 to 15,369.
While this is not a large drop, it will lower revenue the city receives based on
population.
Revenues received
on a per capita basis include motor fuel tax funds, income tax receipts from the
state, the state use tax collected on purchases of personal property from
out-of-state retailers, and the local share of the photo processing sales tax,
according to City Clerk Juanita Josserand.
Josserand
estimated that the city will lose a little less than $2,000 in motor fuel tax
funds, which are used for road repairs, and more than $3,000 from state income
tax receipts.

"It won’t
make a major impact on us, but that money could pay a couple of bills," she
said. "Every time people move out of town, it does affect our
revenue."
For example, if
state income tax receipts are refunded at $78.50 per person, as they are in
2001, with a population of 15,418 the city would have received $1,210,313. The
same refund with a population of 15,369 will bring $1,206,466.50, or $3,846.50
less in revenue. The same principle applies to all other receipts based on
population, Josserand pointed out.
"It’s
everybody’s business how many people live in Lincoln," she said.
Although population is down in
Lincoln, census figures for Logan County show an increase of 385 people, from
30,798 to 31,183 in the year 2000. The county also receives some revenue based
on population of the unincorporated areas, including the state use tax and state
income tax receipts, according to Treasurer Mary Ellen Bruns.

Elkhart’s
making their future happen
[MARCH
26, 2001]
The
residents of Elkhart do not want to just wait and see how their town will
progress in the next five, 10 or 50 years. The residents prefer to shape their
town’s future. They invited the Illinois Institute for Rural Affairs (IIRA) of
Western Illinois University to guide them along their journey.
|
|
Western
Illinois University developed the IIRA to serve as an "ongoing source of
information, research, education, and technical assistants regarding a variety
of issues affecting the future well-being of rural Illinois." The institute
has several divisions: The Rural Transit Assistance Center, The Small Business
Assistance Center, The Rural Economic Technical Assistance Center, The Business
& Industry Data/GIS Center, The Center for Competitive Government, and
Mapping the Future of Your Community.
[Elkhart’s four
high-priority goals center around population, K-12 education, business
environment and community.]
[Mayor Eldridge expects
that this MAPPING process will yield community-improving projects for the next
three to five years, at least.]
Elkhart
Mayor Dayle Eldridge contacted the MAPPING branch of IIRA. MAPPING stands for
Management And Planning Projects Involving Nonmetropolitan Groups. Eldridge said
that since becoming mayor, she has noticed a growing interest among residents to
improve and expand their community.
The
mayor thought of two community-improvement resources: hired planners and IIRA’s
MAPPING. She did not like the idea of hiring a planner. Besides the great
expense, planners come in, give suggestions and leave. Eldridge was concerned
that this approach would not spur a lot of community involvement and willingness
to work.
Eldridge
had heard of MAPPING through her job at Healthy Communities Partnership, and she
appreciated the program’s methods. MAPPING representatives facilitate
town-planning sessions, but residents plan and execute their own project
suggestions. Eldridge commented that the town may hire planners later for
individual projects, but long after the community has already begun to work.
MAPPING
"enhances local decision making processes by providing accurate
information, effective forums for public dialogue and problem solving, and
knowledge of innovative practices that are consistent with a community’s
vision for growth and change." The whole planning process takes 12 to 16
weeks. Even after the planning is completed, MAPPING representatives still help
communities by connecting them to the resources they need for their projects.

Thursday,
March 22, was the third of the visioning sessions. It began with a PowerPoint
presentation on Elkhart, but the bulk of the meeting was brainstorming. The
attendees broke into four different planning groups—one for each of the town’s
four high-priority goals. Every 20 minutes, the groups rotated to a new goal.
They brainstormed brand-new ideas and projects or enhanced previously suggested
projects. At the end of the goal rotation, the groups were dissolved, and the
entire body worked on consolidating and prioritizing projects. Different
individuals volunteered to focus on specific projects.
Elkhart’s
four high-priority goals are to "Increase the Population,"
"Maintain & Continue Developing K-12 Education," "Strengthen
& Sustain the Business Environment," and "Develop & Sustain a
Highly Competitive, Convenient Community."
The
next session, called Action Planning, will be Thursday, April 5, from 8 a.m. to
noon. Committees concerned with individual projects will plan to present their
ideas at the Town Meeting. They will also decide on the time, location and
format of the community meeting. During the Town Meeting, committees of resident
planners will unveil their high-priority goals and project ideas to the entire
community.
Mayor
Eldridge expects that this MAPPING process will yield community-improving
projects for the next three to five years, at least.
Although
IIRA’s fee is not as great as an independent planner’s fee, there is still a
cost. Mayor Eldridge would like to thank the following Logan County businesses
and organizations for donating the funds to pay for Elkhart’s MAPPING project:
Corn Belt Energy, Needs and Goals, Illini Bank, CCA Online, Welch’s Agri-Business,
Blue Moon, Myers Rabin & Hanken Association, Gwen Rosenfeld, Elkhart
Christian Church, Lincoln Christian College, Elkhart Public Library, Talk of the
Town, Davis Truck Services Inc., Elkhart Grain, STS Consultants, Village of
Elkhart, Elkhart Homecoming Association, and Johnson & Johnson.
If you are from
a small rural town in Illinois, and are interested in learning more about
MAPPING, contact Nancy Richman or Steven Kline at (309) 298-2237 or (800)
526-9943. They have served communities of 300 residents to towns with over
15,000 residents.

ESDA prepares for
potential biohazard disasters
[MARCH
24, 2001]
Nobody
wants to think it can happen here. But if it does, we need to be prepared.
|
|
The newest threat
to the safety of average, everyday Americans is terrorism, more specifically
bio-terrorism, according to state and federal preparedness agencies, and local
groups like Logan County Emergency Services and Disaster Agency (ESDA) are
working on plans to cope with it.
The threat of
terrorism was one of the topics discussed at the March 21 meeting of the Local
Emergency Planning Committee (LEPC), an organization of which ESDA is a member.
LEPC is a group that will serve as liaisons to spearhead a community response to
any incident involving hazardous materials, including an incident of
bio-terrorism. Every county nationwide is required to have an LEPC.
Dan Fulscher, ESDA
chairman, pointed out that terrorists are not always from other nations, but can
be groups from within the United States "that have established goals to do
something destructive to prove a political point." Examples are the
Americans responsible for the April 19, 1995, bombing of the federal building in
Oklahoma City or the so-called "eco-terrorists" who destroy expensive
new homes and building equipment to protest destruction of the environment.
"Before
Oklahoma City these acts would have been looked [at] as criminal acts, but now
they are seen as more of a political statement," Fulscher said.
After the Oklahoma
City bombing, the federal government realized it was essential to develop a plan
and train local emergency response groups to respond to weapons of mass
destruction, Fulscher explained.
"They went
into big cities first, 27 metropolitan areas. They trained big-city fire
departments. Now it’s trickling down to smaller areas. The closest
bio-terrorist response unit we have now is the Chicago or St. Louis Fire
Department. However, the state of Illinois, with the Department of Public
Health, is working to establish three response units in the state, but the plan
is still in its infancy."
State agencies
that oversee ESDA and LEPC want these local agencies to add a response to
bio-terrorism to their planning, according to Terry Storer, assistant ESDA
director, and that is the new project for the Lincoln ESDA this year.
Bio-terrorism is the use of either chemical or biological agents to create
physical and economic harm in a community.
At a recent
eight-hour training session on hazardous materials presented for firefighters,
health department representatives and ESDA volunteers, one hour of the class was
devoted to a response to bio-terrorism, Storer said. A refresher class given by
ESDA to the Lincoln Rural Fire Department also included a unit on bio-terrorism.
Other projects for teaching the community to respond to this threat are in the
planning stages.
[to top of second column in
this article]
|
"A lot of the
response to a chemical spill is the same as the response to bio-terrorism,"
Storer pointed out, "but with a chemical spill, you know what substance you
have to clean up and who spilled it. With an act of bio-terrorism, you have to
find out what you are dealing with first. Also, the equipment to deal with
bio-terrorism is expensive. A protective suit can cost as much as $5,000 to
$6,000."
Storer also said
that a great deal needs to be learned about protecting children.
"Bio-terrorism planning now is not geared to pediatrics. The anthrax
vaccine has never been tested on children, and some of the antibiotics used are
contraindicated for children. A lot of research needs to be done."
The Logan County
LEPC also elected delegates and officers at its March 21 meeting. The delegate
from a local environmental group is Jerry Johnson, with Warren Wendland as the
pre-designated alternate. Law enforcement delegate is Police Chief Richard
Ludolph, with Harley Mullins as alternate. Local government ESDA delegate is Dan
Fulscher, with Terry Storer as alternate; hospital representative is Barb Kline,
with Sally Gosda as alternate. Transportation delegate is Kathy Dale, with Brian
Hinds alternate, and fire-fighting delegate is Mike Patridge, with Fire Chief
Ken Ebelherr alternate. Broadcast/print/electronic media delegate is Jan
Youngquist, with Joan Crabb as alternate, and First Aid/EMS delegate is Tawney
Forehand, with Tom Martin alternate. Community groups delegate is Don Begolka,
with Mary Elston alternate; health delegate is Kathy Waldo, with Lloyd Evans
alternate; and industry representative delegate is Celeste Rogers, with Sheila
Nelson alternate. Pending his agreement, Lincoln Alderman William Melton will be
the delegate for state and local officials, with Mayor Bill Martin of Atlanta
alternate.
LEPC committee
appointments are Dan Fulscher, community awareness; Celeste Rogers, community
resources; Kathy Waldo, health services; Tawney Forehand and Barb Kline,
response and preparedness; Mike Patridge, training; and Dan Fulscher and all
committee chairmen, hazard analysis.
Officers for the coming year are Dan
Fulscher, chairman, serving his second year of a two-year term; Barb Kline, vice
chairman; and Terry Storer, secretary.

site will increase when the warm weather arrives. Local residents are encouraged
to visit the courthouse and learn more about Lincoln history. The Postville
Cluster is also seeking signage for the courthouse and the Lincoln well across
from the courthouse.
The
Downtown Cluster, chairmaned by Wendy Bell, is organized to promote the downtown
as a historic area, giving tourists the opportunity to walk where Lincoln walked
and acting as a link between Postville Courthouse and Lincoln College. The group
is looking for funding to produce a brochure listing areas to visit and tours
that will be offered. Plans are being made to print Lincoln postcards and sell
other souvenir items.

CCA Wireless Internet
service
takes giant step up
[MARCH
22, 2001]
You
might think it’s the springlike weather that is driving the completion of
Lincoln’s newest tower, but you would be in error in that thinking. Computer
Consulting Associates owners Jim Youngquist and Curt Schleich of have awaited
the arrival of this day for nearly two years now, and it couldn’t have come
any sooner. "I can hardly believe the tower will finally be up," said
Youngquist.
|
|
Schleich,
who manages the CCAonline Internet services for Computer Consulting, realized
the need for an improved means to provide better quality high-speed Internet
access. Without the use of big-company equipment, area telephone lines cannot
support DSL or cable modems that are used by other, larger communities. The only
other option left was wireless.
CCA
investigated "getting an antenna into the air using downtown buildings or
current towers," says Schleich, but those choices proved to be either
quality- or cost-prohibitive, or lacked a place for nearby equipment storage. It
was soon recognized that a tower was the only option.
CCA
found a company that has been building towers since 1949. Seims Welding of
Danforth drew up the plans, and a Chicago engineer approved them. Ground core
samples were taken to judge for stability capability for the 140-foot tower. In
the meantime CCA gained approval from the city to erect the tower as one of
several tower sites under the city’s new Telecommunications Tower Ordinance.
[to top of second column in
this article]
|
The
CCA tower is open to adding other antennas for other businesses. At this time
the tower will sport two antennas. One will be for CCA Wireless, and another for
Illinois Signal Paging is scheduled to go up later.
Schleich
is excited about bringing this new technology to Lincoln. He could not say just
how many users one antenna will support for the new wireless Internet service.
As with their online business, he plans to "upgrade as necessary to
maintain a high quality of service."
When
asked about what this project has cost besides a lot of patience and planning,
Schleich responds, "By the time we’re all done it will have cost between
$20,000 and $25,000."
For more
information about wireless technology you can log on to www.ccaonline.com.
Schleich says you can also find cost and sign-up information there. So far there
are about 70 sign-ups on the waiting list. The sign-ups will be notified via
e-mail when service has been initialized. Then "sign-ups will be contacted
in turn for site evaluation and equipment setup," he says.

Board
OKs rezoning for Turris
property, makes appointments
[MARCH
21, 2001]
Turris
Coal Mine in Elkhart received approval from the Logan County Board Tuesday night
on a petition to rezone a portion of their property from agriculture to M3 to
allow construction of an overland conveyor belt.
|
|
The
next step for Turris is to obtain the necessary permits from state agencies to
begin the construction process. According to Roger Dennison, representing Turris,
it will take approximately nine months for the permits, and it will be
approximately four years before the conveyor belt is in operation.
Following
the 12-0 vote, with one absence, Dennison expressed his appreciation.
"I
want to thank the board for their hard work and cooperation," he said.
"A
lot of hours and public involvement have gone into this project which will help
us expand our operations," he added.
In
other action, the board appointed Gail Apel-Sasse, Roseann Coers and Ron Keller
to the Abraham Lincoln Tourism Bureau and Mike Patridge, Jim Pinney and Jim
Altig to the Logan County E-911 board.
Pinney
and Patridge were reappointments and Altig was appointed to the seat held by Dan
Fulscher, who quit that post to take over the board's position of director.
[to top of second column in
this article]
|
A
report submitted to the board by Finance Committee Chairman Rod White indicated
that the overall condition of the general fund is good, with receipts from fines
in the circuit clerk's office up $200,000 and interest income in the treasurer's
office up by $100,000.
Expense
highlights showed that the cost for juveniles was three times higher than last
year. In 1999 the cost was $60,000, with projected expenses of $110,000 for the
year 2000. The actual 2000 expenses came in at $188,000.
According to
White, these expenses are incurred to house youths who have violated the law and
also for advocacy rights.
