[NOV. 10, 2001]  It’s Germany, World War II.  An American soldier finds himself in a desperate situation; he’s alone and on foot in a small village in Germany.  He must walk back to the safety of his own side through enemy territory. The odds are slim that he will make it. Amazingly he sees two planes on an isolated airstrip on his first day.  Then, wouldn’t you know it, two German soldiers show up. He watches and, as luck would have it, they both climb into one of the planes and take off, leaving the other plane free for the taking.  There sits his best means of getting out quickly and alive. A crushing moment in reality:  The soldier does not know how to fly. 

It certainly didn’t look it at the time, but his luck had not really run out.  He began to walk and, two weeks later, half starved and to the point of total exhaustion, Lindy Fancher arrived in safe territory.  He later received the Silver Star for his bravery.

That nearly life-ending incident deeply impacted Fancher. “I vowed then that when I got back I would learn to fly,” Fancher recently recounted at a farewell party.  It became apparent in the years to come that the real recipients of blessings from his near-life-costing misfortune are the residents of his hometown, Lincoln. Not only did he learn to fly, but over the years he spent countless hours teaching others. 

Fancher has been a major contributor to the development of aviation in Logan County.  Numerous comments made at his going away party on June 29 credited him for many years of work, sacrifices and forward thinking. “I appreciate Lindy and all those like him that make the airport work,” said a Logan County Board member.

“He has made the airport and Heritage in Flight museum what it is today.  There's never been a better champion for aviation and community spirit.  And most of all Lindy is a true believer in his fellow man.  He always brings a smile to all strangers and friends that pass in his presence,” according to HIF.

[to top of second column in this article]

In addition to his local aeronautical contributions, Fancher has had a number of other influences in the community as well.  He was known to be a magnet for teenagers while running the Blue Inn Restaurant, a popular hangout located across from the Tropics.  There’s a story and a supposed picture that goes around about him teaching teens to water ski on a canoe paddle out at Lincoln Lakes.

Last employed by Lincoln Office Supply, Fancher is presently retired. He and his wife, Vada, have recently moved from Lincoln to Atlanta, Ga., to be closer to their son Jim and his family.

On this day before Veterans Day, Lincoln Daily News would like to honor Lindy Fancher, and each and every other veteran, particularly those that live in our communities in Logan County.  While not all have been rewarded with a Silver Star or made notable influences, all bravely offered their services on behalf of our county. We owe every one our admiration and thanks.  We mourn those who lost their lives. We thank each and every one that comes back and continues to give so graciously in our communities. Your mere presence is vital to the character of our communities and our country.  We salute you!

[NOV. 10, 2001]  The Illinois Senate convened Wednesday for the first day of the fall veto session, poising itself for six more days of legislative action to deal with vetoes, reductions in the fiscal year 2002 budget, antiterrorism legislation and emergency legislation, according to Sen. Claude "Bud" Stone.

Topping the list of priorities for fall action is revamping the state’s budget to meet lower revenue expectations following the Sept. 11 tragedies. Lawmakers are facing a $500 million shortfall and are looking at ways to fill the gap.

Antiterrorism legislation will also be a top priority as lawmakers look for ways to not only increase homeland security but also to fund it in the wake of an already tight budget. Senate President James "Pate" Philip has already suggested designating a special state lottery to fund antiterrorist measures and allow citizens to show their patriotism. Lawmakers will consider this and other proposals.

Fourteen Senate bills were vetoed by the governor this year, and six more have amendatory vetoes pending action. Lawmakers may choose to reject or accept the governor’s recommendations on the legislation.

Motions were filed to override the governor’s veto of the following:

•  Broadcast Industry Free Market Act (SB 720) — Prohibits TV, radio or cable stations from requiring employees and prospective employees to refrain from employment in a specific geographic area for a period of time after they terminate employment with the station.

•  Library task force (SB 635) — Creates a nine-member task force to explore ways to better coordinate the current library system. The members would serve without compensation.

[to top of second column in this article]

•  Small business (SB 1522) — Makes plain-language descriptions of laws or administrative rules affecting small businesses available on the Internet.

A motion was filed to accept the governor’s changes to the following:

•  Aviation DUI (SB 647) — Increases penalties for operating or repairing an airplane while intoxicated. The suggested changes correct a conflict with the proposed penalties.

•  Circuit Breaker (SB 1493) — Makes all Circuit Breaker program applicants approved for benefits between July 1 and Dec. 31 eligible for benefits through June 30 of that state fiscal year and any applicants approved between Jan. 1 and June 30 eligible for benefits through June 30 of the following state fiscal year. The suggested changes move the implementation date to Jan. 1, 2002, making it consistent with current law.

Legislators will return to Springfield to continue veto action Nov. 13-15 and Nov. 27-29.

[NOV. 10, 2001]  Sen. Claude "Bud" Stone has been appointed to serve on the Agriculture and Conservation Committee and the Licensed Activities Committee in the Illinois Senate.

The appointments, by Senate President James "Pate" Philip, were made official Wednesday, the first day of the fall veto session.

"I’m pleased with the assignment to two very important committees," said Stone, R-Morton. "Illinois’ number one industry is agriculture, and agriculture is a big part of the 45^th Senate District. We need to do all we can to protect the family farmer, increase exports of our agriculture products and help boost the rural economy through value-added products. Conservation issues are important too. Illinois has been blessed with an abundance of natural resources, and proper management of those resources is a responsibility I take seriously."

The Licensed Activities Committee is a lesser-known but influential legislative panel.

[to top of second column in this article]

"No other committee has as much to do with consumer protection as the Licensed Activities Committee," said Stone. "This committee looks at all legislation dealing with the more than 670,000 professionals licensed by the state of Illinois. This includes doctors, lawyers, home repair professionals, architects, barbers, athletic trainers, pharmacists, accountants, social workers and others."

Stone was sworn into office on July 16 to serve as 45^th District senator following the retirement of Sen. Bob Madigan. Stone and his fellow Senate colleagues met at the State Capitol on Wednesday, Nov. 7, for the start of the fall veto session. Veto session workdays are scheduled for Nov. 13, 14 and 15 and on Nov. 27, 28 and 29.

[News release]

[NOV. 10, 2001]  On Nov. 8, the Retired Teachers’ Association of Logan and DeWitt counties had a meeting at Bonanza in Lincoln. Rep. Jonathan Wright, R-Hartsburg, and Rep. Bill Mitchell, R-Forsyth, attended to discuss the funding of the Teachers’ Retirement Insurance Program.

The funding for the program, also known as TRIP, is estimated to be $28.8 million less than needed for fiscal year 2002. Central Management Services warns that the shortfall will require an 80 percent increase in health insurance premiums for retired teachers in fiscal year 2002.

"Such an increase is unacceptable," Wright said. "Retired teachers have already been required to absorb a 21 percent increase on health insurance premiums this year. Such increases are devastating on retired teachers living on fixed pension income," he said.

Rep. Wright supports the efforts in the veto session to address the short-term problem to avoid any increase in health insurance premiums for retired teachers. "The proposals are being formulated," he said. "At this time, I have not been provided the details of any proposals, but I will support any effort to avoid the increase in premiums."

[to top of second column in this article]

Complicating the situation is a new proposal from Speaker of the House Michael Madigan. "It is my understanding," Wright said, "that Speaker Madigan will not call any bill to the floor for vote that addresses the retired teacher insurance program unless there is a commitment to provide $20 million for the retired Chicago teachers pension fund."

Wright continued, "The fund for Chicago teachers is sufficiently funded at this time, and there is no need to provide additional funding. My concern is that such an effort by the speaker could prevent us from addressing the more urgent problem facing the TRIP program."

During the meeting with the local association of retired teachers, Rep. Wright and Rep. Mitchell responded to many questions from those in attendance. "It was a great turnout, and I enjoyed the opportunity to visit with all of these people to address their concerns," Wright said.

It’s on the radio, TV, in all the media. You hear it in the office, on the street and maybe at home — threats of terrorism. America is on high alert. Here in central Illinois, away from any supposed practical target areas, perhaps we feel a little less threatened, but we are still concerned. So how concerned should we be, and how prepared are we for the types of situations that could occur?

Whether the threat is domestic or foreign, violent, biological or chemical, our public health and rescue agencies have been preparing to respond to the situations. Lincoln Daily News has been at meetings where all the agencies gather together as the Logan County Emergency Planning Committee to strategize for just such a time. Our reports have not even provided every detail that every agency has reported; i.e., a number of representatives from differing agencies such as the health and fire departments, CILCO and ESDA went to a bioterrorism and hazmat (hazardous materials) seminar this past August.

Here are some of the articles that LDN has posted pre- and post-Tuesday, Sept. 11. Hopefully you will see in them that WE ARE WELL PREPARED. At least as much as any area can be. Every agency has been planning, training, submitting for grants to buy equipment long before Sept. 11. We can be thankful for all of the dedicated, insightful leaders we have in this community.

More than 40 countries in Africa, Asia, Europe and the Middle East have pledged their cooperation and support the U.S. initiative.
