Agency
addressing injustice in legal system celebrates 15th anniversary
[MARCH
3, 2003]
Citizens For
Justice, based in Lincoln, are celebrating their 15th anniversary
today, Monday, March 3. Citizens For Justice, Inc. is a legal reform
group that is committed to constructive change in the legal system.
They lobby both our state and federal legislators annually regarding
issues such as tort reform. Lester C. Van Bibber, III serves as
president of the agency.
|
Van Bibber explains that
Citizens For Justice was born out of frustration. It was formed in
response to an experience that entailed seven years of ongoing
litigation in what he believed was an unjust legal system gone wild.
After that, he said, "We decided to organize a group of dedicated
citizens who had experienced similar injustices and began donating
time and energy to improving the legal system."
After research at the public
library we learned about the ARDC, the Attorney Registration and
Disciplinary Commission, an agency that disciplines attorneys, Van
Bibber said. The group also discovered the JIB, the Judicial Inquiry
Board, an agency that disciplines judges. By encouraging utilization
of the ARDC and the JIB, we believe changes for the improvement of
the local legal system will occur more rapidly, he said.
Changes to improve the legal
system are what Citizens For Justice is all about. They say they
have discovered and are continuing to discover avenues for
constructive change.
This year the group's focus was
directed at our federal legislators. They worked to introduce
legislation that will limit lawsuits on businesses with 50 or fewer
employees. "We believe this is very important because it is
businesses and industry of this size that now creates 90 percent of
the new jobs in America," Van Bibber said.
He explained: We are asking
that a cap be placed on punitive damages at three times the
compensatory damage award. We also believe that punitive awards
should go to each state’s general fund and not to the plaintiffs and
the plaintiffs’ attorney, because punitive damages are meant to
punish and deter, very similar in purpose to criminal fines. The
plaintiffs don't receive any of the criminal fine money which is
received, for the same reason as punitive damage.
[to top of second column in this
article]
|
"We believe this law will also
help businesses and industry of all sizes," he said.
Van Bibber asks, "Why should
attorneys be allowed a substantial share of the punitive damages as
fees anyway, since no one has appointed attorneys as representatives
of the republic to mete out punishment to the country’s businesses
and citizens?"
Van Bibber said, "In 1988 I
made a personal commitment to be a voice or a spokesperson and
watchdog during the rest of my life, for those in our community who
are poor, uneducated, widowed, those who may have given up on life
or maybe are part of the silent majority regarding issues of
importance that will affect them, like sales tax increases, fee
increases, property tax increases, utility rate increases, etc."
"History will judge all of us
on how we treat those on the bottom half of the ladder of success. I
want it said that I, Les Van Bibber, was part of the solution and
not part of the problem."
We
believe your support with our efforts will make this great city,
county, state and country a better place to live and prosper for
everyone, he added.

Is this the
right time
to go into business?
By Jim
Youngquist
[FEB.
28, 2003]
Tough times continue to be
upon us in the small-business community. Our lagging national
economy has certainly been hard on small and large businesses here
in the Midwest over the last two years. Every business has felt the
crunch, and many have been forced to fold. Even the most stable
business has suffered from diminished cash flow, diminished profits
and greater competition cutting up a much smaller pie. Business
analysts are split on when the recovery will come, and the stock
market reflects the public's greatly diminished confidence in
business' ability to recover.
|
In light of this dismal economy, what
do you do if you have entrepreneurial ideas and urges? Is this a
good time to start a business? Do you wait? Do you discard your
plans? Do you purge your urge?
In my experience, downbeat economic
times can actually be an excellent time to start a new business.
Over my lifetime I have started five businesses, still am running
three of them, and have helped many other people start businesses
during economically blue times. The secret to success may not be in
your analysis of the business climate as much as having the right
method and planning for your upcoming enterprise.
First of all, during a downbeat
economy, business is generally at the bottom. Everything is usually
up from there! If you start a business in that climate with
conservative efforts, very conservative money, and survive while
business is bad, most likely your business will thrive when economic
times get better. The key here is to start with a well-organized
business plan that is reliant on very conservative projections and
very conservative spending to accomplish your goals. And when the
economy gets better, stick to your conservative plan with
conservative expansion, because an upbeat economy is a short-lived
thing.
Second, start small and grow it. Most
businesses are begun on a shoestring: tiny little enterprises that
grow out of personal interests or hobbies. They get started while
you don't have to rely on them for income. You establish a product
line, network with suppliers, gather customers and plan for the
future in your spare time, with little capital, and allow the
profits to fund business expansion. This is the safest way to start
a business, and it is one of the most successful. So, don't quit
your day job, and begin planning your tiny little business startup.
Third, research your business ideas and
the competition thoroughly. Know what everyone else is doing in your
field and in your geographic area. Research what other businesses
outside your area are doing and how they have been successful. The
more you know about your upcoming enterprise and how everyone else
is doing it, the more chance you have to be successful. And the
research does not end there. It is one thing to start a successful
enterprise, it is another to keep it successful. Continued product,
service and competition research is a necessity in business.
[to top of second column in this
article]
|
Fourth, and most important, every
business must have a detailed, written business plan. Take the time
to detail what you will sell, what you will do, who will be your
customers and who will be your suppliers. Include details in your
business plan about how you will obtain financing if necessary and
when you will hire employees. Use very conservative projections as
you develop this plan. And then, when you think your business idea
is down on paper, take it to the business experts to get their
opinions and their help to make your dream come true. Take it to the
local chamber of commerce, to your banker and perhaps even to the
mayor of your city or village. Ask them to keep the information
confidential before you present it because you don't want to tip off
your potential competition. With all these business "promoters" on
your side, you now have some allies, some potential customers and
some good advice.
As your business continues to grow and
change over the years, your written business plan must continue to
reflect your current business, the market and the economy. You must
continue to update your plan and use it to guide and restrict your
steps.
Finally, choose something that's
different from what everyone else is doing. These are difficult
economic times. Competition for customers has forced prices and
profits down to the point where the heartiest businesses have a hard
time surviving. If you are selling a product or providing a service,
do it in a way that the competition hasn't thought of. Forget about
making a mint providing regular commodities: Everybody else has the
same stuff, and someone is always selling for less than you. Lowest
price generally attracts the most customers. So, predicate your
business on a product or service that is exclusive and has a chance
of maintaining an adequate profit margin. Be unique and be
successful!
Don't allow
other people's pessimistic attitudes to smash your dreams or put
your plans on hold. Good planning, a positive attitude and lotsa
elbow grease can usually make a good business plan succeed. Attitude
leads!

Illinois has a long history of
producing successful inventors
By Paul
Niemann
[FEB.
27, 2003]
While Illinois is known as
the Land of Lincoln because President Lincoln grew up here, many
Illinoisans do not know that he was also one of the few U.S.
presidents who was also an inventor. In 1849, while serving as a
representative in Congress, Lincoln was issued a patent for a
"device that buoyed vessels over shoals."
|
While Illinois has been home to such
famous residents as Marshall Field, William Wrigley, Ray Kroc and
Michael Jordan, this column is not about them. This column is about
Illinois' most prolific inventors and their inventions. As we travel
throughout the state to shine the spotlight on some of our greatest
inventors, we discover some who became household names, while others
lived in relative obscurity even though their inventions became
household names or led to the creation of some of America's greatest
companies.
Our journey begins in the author's
hometown of Quincy, on the banks of the Mississippi River. Quincy is
home to inventors Parker Gates, Elmer Wavering and William Lear, who
were all pioneers in the electronics industry.
According to Quincy Herald-Whig
archives, Parker Gates and his father co-founded the Gates Radio
Company in 1922 in a rented storeroom when Parker was just 14.
Parker's early inventions included a sound machine that was used in
movie houses all over the country, along with the first
transcription turntable in 1929. A few years later, he invented a
remote amplifier, which enabled radio stations to broadcast events
live from outside the station, and in 1933 he invented a smaller
version of the microphone as well as the first radio station master
console and the first radio broadcasting transmitter.
With the advent of television in the
1950s, the Gates Radio Company began producing television
broadcasting equipment and transmission towers. Gates Radio was
later bought out by what is now Harris Broadcasting Corporation in
1957, and Gates stayed on to serve as president of the subsidiary.
William Lear was one of America's most
successful inventors ever. Lear was born in Hannibal, Mo., in 1902,
and his family soon moved to Chicago, where he attended school up
until the eighth grade. After serving in World War I, Lear moved to
Quincy in 1922 at the age of 20.
Lear and a friend, fellow Quincyan
Elmer Wavering, co-invented the first practical car radio later that
year. Unable to afford a booth at a major automotive trade show in
Chicago, the two inventors devised a way to attract the attention of
potential customers who would be attending the trade show. They
parked their car near the entrance and cranked up the volume of
their radio, attracting the attention of nearly everyone who passed
through the doors that day. As a result, they were able to write up
more orders from new customers than either of them could have
imagined. Lear and Wavering eventually signed over the rights to
Motorola in 1924, and their car radio became Motorola's first major
product.
According to the
Lemelson-MIT Invention
Dimension website, other Lear inventions included the world's
first reliable aeronautical radio compass, as well as an automatic
pilot system. The first fully automatic landing system that Lear
developed earned him the FAA's Collier Trophy, an award that was
bestowed upon him by President Truman.
In 1962, he made possible the
first-ever completely automatic blind landings of passenger flights.
Today, Learjet, which Lear formed in 1962, is the world's foremost
supplier of corporate jets. Lear also designed the eight-track tape
player in the 1960s. Altogether, he earned more than a hundred
patents in the audio, automotive and aircraft industries from 1930
to the 1960s.
Leaving Quincy, we get in the boat and
travel upriver to Moline, where John Deere opened his first factory.
Deere was born in Rutland, Vt., in 1804 and moved to Grand Detour,
Ill., in 1837. The cast-iron plows used in the Midwest at that time
were designed for the light, sandy soil of New England, not for the
fertile Midwestern soil. The rich Midwestern soil would cling to the
plow bottoms, causing the farmers to stop every few steps to scrape
the soil from the plow.
Deere studied the problem and became
convinced that a plow could be developed to scour itself. He created
such a plow in 1837 and successfully tested it on a farm near Grand
Detour.
The first
Deere
& Company factory opened in 1848, and today the company sells
more than $13 billion in agricultural equipment annually. It is one
of the nation's 100 largest manufacturing companies.
[to top of second column in this
article]
|
Some of the best new inventions come
from simply combining two separate ideas. In 1890, Benjamin Holt and
Daniel Best each developed their own types of tractors. Holt
developed the world's first steam track-type tractor in 1904, while
in 1906, Best developed the world's first gas track-type tractor,
which crawled along the ground like a caterpillar. They weren't
working together at the time but rather for separate companies.
According to the Caterpillar
website, Caterpillar track-type tractors were used by the Allies in
World War I, and in 1925, the Holt Manufacturing Company and the C.L.
Best Tractor Company merged to form Caterpillar Tractor Co. Today,
Caterpillar is the world's leading manufacturer of construction and
mining equipment, and its diverse product line of more than 300
products accounts for more than $17 billion in annual sales.
Next, we hop on our tractor and
continue riding east as we search for more inventions in the town of
DeKalb. Farmers all across the country appreciate the work of DeKalb
residents Joseph Glidden and Jacob Haish. According to Scott Cook of
the University of Virginia, early versions of barbed wire had been
invented as early as 1867, including a version by Haish, but Glidden
perfected it in 1873 and is known as the inventor of modern-day
barbed wire. Haish invented an automatic machine to manufacture it
the same year.
The significance of barbed wire was
that it replaced the more expensive stone, rail or wooden fences
that were being used at a time when there was a lack of timber in
Illinois. Glidden sold the rights to his barbed wire in 1876 and
continued receiving royalties for the next 15 years, while Haish
became one of the wealthiest men in DeKalb during the late 1800s.
Cyrus McCormick, the inventor of the
mechanical reaper, earns a spot in this article even though he
didn't live in Illinois until he was 38 years old. Creating a reaper
after his father had tried and given up on the idea, McCormick
patented his invention in 1834 after a competing inventor had
announced the construction of a reaper of his own a year earlier. He
started to manufacture the machine on the family estate in 1837.
Sales were slow in Virginia, and after
meeting with Illinois Sen. Stephen A. Douglas in 1846 and visiting
the vast grain fields of the Midwest, McCormick decided to move his
operation to Chicago.
According to the National Inventors
Hall of Fame, McCormick's reaper combined all the steps that earlier
harvesting machines had performed separately, allowing farmers to
more than double their crop size. By 1860, he was selling over 4,000
reapers a year, and his success in Chicago helped make Chicago the
greatest grain port in the world.
McCormick's company eventually merged
with a rival to become International Harvester Company, and today it
is known as
Navistar.
The first African-American woman to
receive a patent was also from Illinois. According to the
Enchanted
Learning website, Sarah Goode of Chicago was a businesswoman and
inventor who received a patent in 1885 for her folding cabinet bed.
When not being used, the bed folded up against the wall into a
cabinet, to be used as a desk. Goode invented the bed for people
living in small apartments.
Since
Chicago is as far east as one can travel in Illinois without getting
wet, we end our search for inventions here. Our journey began in
Quincy and it ends, for now, in Chicago. Even though we've only
scratched the surface of the subject of inventors and their
inventions, it's time to gas up the car, the boat and the tractor,
so we'll stop here for now.
Next
week: Here's why you've never heard of the OTHER person who
invented the telephone.

Chamber's annual dinner
initiates Legion facility
[FEB.
27, 2003]
Chris
Coyne of State Farm Insurance and Barbie Carter of Logan County Bank
were recognized as king and queen of the Lincoln/Logan County
Chamber of Commerce's Mardi Gras-style annual dinner. The dinner
Saturday night, Feb. 15, was the first event to be held in the new American
Legion Hall.
|
Mary Conrady, manager of the Lincoln
CEFCU office and immediate past president of the chamber board of
directors, reviewed chamber accomplishments for the past year.
Twenty-two new members were inducted into the chamber, 27
traditional ribbon-cutting ceremonies were conducted by the
Ambassadors, and eight chamber businesses hosted after-hours mixers.
In addition to the "Meet the State Candidates" breakfast, morning
programs focused on technology tips and advice for owners of small
businesses.
Continuing to bring agriculture and
business leaders together, the chamber organized the third annual
Logan County Ag Day breakfast and hosted a chamber mixer on a farm.
Quality-of-life community events organized by the chamber included a
luncheon for office professionals, the Lincoln Art & Balloon
Festival, a golf outing, and the Christmas parade. Local trade was
promoted through the Chamber Bucks program and cable TV exposure.
"If I had to choose one accomplishment
over the past year that stands above all others," said Conrady, "it
would have to be the community video that was produced by the
chamber's marketing committee. The video is a powerful tool to
attract businesses, individuals or families to locate here."
[to top of second column in this
article] |
Conrady then introduced the new chamber
president, Brian Ash of Logan County Bank. Ash unveiled his theme
for the coming year, "Planting Seeds for Progress." "The actions we
take today will have an impact on tomorrow," he said. "We have
already taken steps for our future within the chamber. Our director,
Bobbi Abbott, recently completed the four-year Institute for
Organizational Management certification, and we have added Jeff
Mayfield as economic development director and Senator Bob Madigan as
government liaison. We're ready to grow the economy!"
Ash
introduced new chamber board members Diane Van Dorn-Slack of Midwest
Records Storage; Ed Block, Saint-Gobain Containers; Rick Hamm, State
Farm Insurance; and Steve Smith, Illinois American Water Company.
Conrady recognized retiring board members Todd Lowman of Garland
Gehrke Trucking and Terry Werth from the Logan County Board.
