“Paperboys”
By James Middleton
They once occupied street corners in cities across the
nation and fought for the right to conduct their business
there that involved selling newspapers. They were streetsmart, wise, and they were also tough kids. Yet, news
gathering and selling the news at the turn of the century
was a tough business for all those involved.
Reporters in those days raced from story-to-story and
often had fights with other reporters or survived threats
from their competitors and also figured out how to get past
police lines. The noted photo-journalist Robert Capa said
of his competitors, “If your pictures are not good enough
you are not close enough.”
Another top photo-journalist who was close enough and
often the first to the scene was “Weegee” or Arthur Fellig.
He was a freelance photographer who worked primarily
the lower east side of New York City. Weegee followed
police cars and listened to a police scanner and raced to
the scene of crimes, often of gangland shootings. He was
best known for his trade during the 1930s and the 1940s in
New York City when gangland murders flourished in New
York City.
But, the competition for a lucrative corner was just as
keen for the paperboys as for the reporters who raced to
get the scoop. Legend has it that the first paperboys were
hired by the New York Sun in 1833. The newspaper ran a
want-ad, “To the unemployed, a number of steady men can
find employment by vending this newspaper.” Instead of
unemployed men being hired, teams of young boys were
hired for a fraction of the price.
The boys sold the afternoon edition of the Sun and
unemployed men sold the morning editions. The effort
was so successful, other newspapers in New York, Chicago
and large metropolitan daily’s in London and Paris also
embraced the effort employing boys to do what would have
been a man’s job.
The photograph shown here was shot by Lewis Hine, a
famous photo-journalist and “muckraker” who focused on
child labor as the subject of his work. To a great extent,
his harrowing photographs showing children working in a
wide variety of exploitive jobs led to the passage of child
labor laws in Europe and in America. Elected officials saw
his photographs and legislated to exercise greater control
over all businesses that were exploiting children for their
labor.
Even in Belvidere there were newsboys who worked
the streets to sell newspapers by the single copy. However,
there were also newsboys who rode their bicycles and
delivered newspaper to homes. That endeavor was deemed
far less exploitive and far less dangerous than the work that
newsboys performed on street corners. They would stand
at the corner where cars, buses and streetcars would stop
to allow cross traffic to flow on the adjoining lanes and sell
daily newspapers to anyone with a penny.
Streets such as State Street in Rockford and State Street
in Belvidere were ambitiously pursued by the paperboys
at the turn of the prior century as was State Street in
Chicago or Fifth Avenue in New York. The livelihood of
the paperboys and their families were at stake and as long
as there were afternoon editions published, the paperboys
were there to get their supply and to anchor their corner.
In many instances, the paperboys even developed regular
customers.
In particular paperboys in the 1920s and 1930s who
worked LaSalle Street in Chicago or Wall Street in New
York had regular customers. The paperboys knew where
to stand and when their customer came by as they moved
to the subway or from an office to catch a bus or a cab.
The paperboys knew their customers and they knew that
people, in general, were people of habit. The customers
came to work and they left from work at about the same
time five days a week. With this knowledge the paperboys
relied on a predictable level of income with a little bit more
if they were lucky and could catch a new customer from
the sound of their voice.
Most of the paperboys of that age were just boys selling
newspapers on corners after school and many worked in
place of school. Some of them claimed that they learned
far more about the world by selling newspapers. But of
course, they did not learn mathematics beyond making
change, nor did they learn about literature or even how to
write, beyond knowing what the headlines read. Science
and other areas of study might have taken the paperboys
longer to learn on the street but, the paperboys learned
other aspects of human behavior that even today are often
ignored in public schools.
The demise of afternoon newspapers led to the decline
of paperboys. As the decades matured through the 20th
Century to the 1980s and 1890s paperboys were no longer
needed in towns, cities or major cities. On September 11,
2001, there were no paperboys on the streets of New York
that afternoon, even though the city daily’s published rare
afternoon editions. By the later years of the 20th Century
most newspapers were delivered either through the United
States Postal Service or by adult drivers from a car.
Today those living in Rockford, Belvidere and in the
outlying villages of the county receive their edition of the
Rockford Register Star or the Chicago Tribune and the
New York Times and the Wall Street Journal each morning
delivered by a man driving a car moving from house-tohouse.
We no longer can walk down the street and hear a
high-pitched voice hawk, “Extra! Extra! Read all about
it.! Twin Towers in Manhattan fell after being hit by high-

jacked airliners.” Or, “Extra! Extra! Hitler calls it quits.
The War is over.” And even, “Extra! Extra! Thompson
slams a homer to beat the Dodgers and win the Pennant.”
A bit of Americana disappeared when paperboys were no
longer found on street corners.
The Journal wants to recognize that the photograph
shown here was shot by Lewis Hine and is held in the
archives of the Library of Congress. We also want to
recognize that background material was obtained from
Wikipedia.com, the “Internet Encyclopedia.”

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Dear Editor:
Dear Editor,
I am writing to thank and support Michelle Courier
as our State’s Attorney. Over the last four years, I have
participated in the Law Explorer Program that she created.
Being a part of the Explorer Program has taught me so
many things. I learned firsthand about so many areas of our
legal system and more. Without this program, I don’t think
I would have ever seen these things. It has helped me to be
sure that I truly do want to become a lawyer. I have also
been able to become certain with my choice for college
after being given this opportunity.
Participating in the mock trials has helped me become
much more confident in myself. This has also made me
certain I want to become a lawyer and that I can do it!
Working with Michelle in the Explorer Program and later
interning in her office for two summers, I saw firsthand
how much Michelle cares about our community. She also
cares about giving kids an opportunity.
I can’t thank Michelle enough for the knowledge and
experience she has given me. She has been a mentor and
an incredible role model for me and other students in our
community.
I am writing in response to your article “THE $1
MILLION PUPPY TAJ MAHAL”, dated December 25,
2015.
First and foremost let me say that your article is an
absolute insult to Animal Services Staff, volunteers and
rescuers, everywhere! It is a real kick in the teeth to those
of us who spend our spare time (and money) volunteering
year round to care for abused, abandoned, and unwanted
animals. To refer to the new building as a “Puppy Taj Mahal”
is also unfair to the current animal service personnel who
have had to operate out of an inefficient facility, as well as
to the persons responsible for the many hours of extensive
research and planning that was involved in constructing a
facility capable of properly handling the various issues of
animals in our growing community.
Let me clarify some points as to what the new facility
may be used for, along with temporary shelter for lost or
stray cats and dogs.
· A Pet Food Pantry which assists families in feeding
their pets
· Retail Sales of Pet Products
· Adoption & Fundraising Events
· Volunteer Training/Pet Owner Classes
Each of these provide potential revenue to assist in
operations of the facility.
Your article implied that the County Board has done
something unethical concerning the extra amount of
money needed for this project. After speaking to the
County Board Chairman, Bob Walberg, I assure you that
they did no such thing. They did not “scam” anyone. The
County Board and the Roads and Capital Improvements
Committee inadvertently underestimated the cost of the
land development portion of this project. The extra funds
needed for this will come from revenue created by a $5
increase in the cost of dog tags and this fee went into
effect in 2014. So, to be precise, the extra money needed
will be coming from animal owners. The building will be
constructed with the $800,000 that was approved by the
voters.
One final statement of yours that I would like to
address is, “Some believe that human emotions and human
sensitivities are felt by animals.” This is not a ‘belief”.
There are scientific studies that prove animals do indeed
have some of the same feelings that we do. “There is no
fundamental difference between man & animals in their
ability to feel pleasure, pain, happiness & misery” –Charles
Darwin. These emotions are not exclusive to humans.
As James Herriot (All Creatures Great and Small) once
stated, “I hope to make people realize how totally helpless
animals are, how dependent on us, trusting as a child must,
that we will be kind & take care of their needs. They are an
obligation put on us, a responsibility we have no right to
neglect, nor violate by cruelty”.
Thank you, again to all the citizens who voted to support
the new Animal Services Building.
Sincerely,
Caitlin Sharkey
Sincerely,
Jane Gordon
Dear Editor,
Michelle Courier, now in her second term as Boone
County State’s Attorney, deserves re-election. I became
acquainted with Michelle through the Belvidere Rotary
Club. Michelle definitely lives the Rotary motto of “Service
Above Self.” In my years of serving as a CASA in Boone
County, I have appreciated all Michelle and her staff do to
support abused and neglected children in our county. I am
impressed with her efforts to reduce gang activity which is
vitally important to our safety. She has initiated the First
Offender Program in Boone County which provides first
time, non-violent felony offenders with the opportunity to
keep a conviction from being permanently entered on their
record providing they are approved by a citizen panel and
complete the requirements placed upon them by the State’s
Attorney’s Office. Michelle is a very competent attorney
and truly a woman of integrity. Please support her with
your vote.

Strategic Plans
Of the governmental bodies found in Boone County, only a few have engaged in “serious” strategic planning
exercises. Serious “Strategic Planning” could be defined as an effort designed to set goals, to assign paths to reach
those goals and finally, to set forth to accomplish those goals. Though local voters were told that a five-year capital
improvements plan would be created for Belvidere, the fruition of that promise remains to be seen. Another planning
statement was also issued a few years ago by a local school district but that plan has not been fully realized.
In 2015 Boone County government set out to develop a countywide strategic plan. This plan and the status of that
plan will be a topic of discussion on January 16 at 8 a.m. when County Board members meet to discuss the plan with
members of the community at the County Board Retreat. The community is invited to attend but more to participate.
In most human endeavors, it is better to plan and to be prepared than to be caught without a plan. Unexpected
contingencies and consequences can occur with even the best governmental plans. Though, plans that are set do not
always bear fruit, many might agree it is far better to abide by the motto of the Boy Scouts of America, “Be prepared.”
The Boone County Strategic Plan is not a genius document that was compiled with input solicited from the most
enlightened individuals that could be found. Revered professors and philosophic thinkers from academia were not
consulted for their vision of tomorrow. Instead, department heads in county government and local people were
consulted that have experience living and working in Boone County. This Strategic Plan is a local plan written and
conceived by local people. The Plan is one that embraces many of the soundest reasons why people live in the county
but the plan also challenges those who will read the plan to aspire to a more productive path for county social and
economic development.
The Plan that County representatives created is a work in progress and that means the Plan was written with an
expectation of periodic revision. Some involved in the project said that they expect the Plan will and must be revised
to respond to changing times. One of those who dedicated a lot of the work to organize the effort said that the Plan was
created to be a “living plan.”
Members of the County Board dedicated the opening portion of the administrative and legislative committee
meeting this week to decide what aspects of the Plan would be discussed in the January 16th Retreat. One member
suggested that they should discuss the important changes that occurred in the county last year. Another offered that
discussion should consider ideas conceived by a wide range of committees in adjoining counties that have arisen to
discuss regionalism as a path for future municipal development.
The issue of regionalism has inspired considerable debate over the last decade. Regional approaches to growth
were debated in Boone County when Town-Hall Meetings were held to discuss how growth could be controlled. The
thought was that growth could be better managed when viewed from a regional approach. There have been meetings
between municipal leaders from adjoining counties but little has ever been resolved to assert a true regional approach
to social and economic development.
Today, regionalism is not any nearer full fruition than where the idea stood years ago. The lack of movement is
attributable to fears that smaller municipalities have of becoming invisible when compared to the larger municipalities.
The question of managing size differences between municipalities has gotten in the way of establishing solid goals
and plans to embrace regionalism for the benefit of all of northern Illinois. However, with the creation of a Strategic
Plan, Boone County has taken a tangible step toward working more effectively and efficiently with neighboring
municipalities to draft a viable regional development plan. County representatives will discuss the ideas for regional
future growth and development on January 16.
Members of the community are invited to hear what could result in the not too distant future when the future is
discussed at the Boone County Board Retreat. The event occurs on Saturday, January 16, beginning at 8 a.m. The
Retreat will be held in the County Board meeting room at the County Administrative Center campus on Logan Avenue.
These January Retreats have become an annual meeting for the County Board and members of the community are
welcome to be engaged with elected officials that are looking to the future instead of merely “keeping house.”
Those who are prepared for the future can better manage the future and can have input in directing the future.
Unless reasonable plans and preparations are made any municipal body can be at sea and over the years, while the state
had not made plans for the future, the state remains today lost at sea. That will likely not be the case for Boone County
if elected officials function within the broad guidelines of their living Strategic Plan that is designed to benefit residents
of the county and possibly, those in the region.
Plans Being Set
For County
Retreat
By James Middleton
Often discussion occurs at municipal committee
meetings with no action planned other than for the members
to express their views and debate ideas. It is often at events
such as this when viewers can leave the proceedings with
a clearer understanding of who their elected officials
really are. Such was the case at the Boone County Board
administrative and legislative meeting this week when
discussion occurred addressing plans for the annual Boone
County Board January Retreat that will occur on January
16.
The new chairman of the committee, Sherry Giesecke
(District 1), encouraged the members to bring their ideas
to discuss the county Strategic Plan that was finished late
last year. Ms. Giesecke and county representative Jeffrey
Carlisle (District 3) were co-chair of the Plan and who
moved the Plan forward.
As the discussion ran in the meeting, the question of
a regional approach to development and planning arose.
Mr. Carlisle responded to earlier comments by saying,
“Discussing the Strategic Plan is a good idea but is there
a road map for all of these other committees discussing
regional plans? This could be a quagmire.”
The chairman of the County Board, Bob Walberg
(District 1) said, “There is a structure but you (Mr.
Carlisle) sound like the Rockford Mayor Larry
Morrissey.” Mr. Walberg has participated in many of
those meetings designed to configure a regional approach
to future development that have occurred in neighboring
municipalities.
Mr. Carlisle suggested that the county establish
a structure for their plans before the Retreat meeting
occurs.
Some of the members
shared
their
views
on planning and on
discussions that could
arise in the Retreat. The
work of the committee this
week was almost a process
to develop an agenda for
the Retreat. In response
to Mr. Carlisle, the Boone
County administrator, Ken
Terrinoni said, “I’m not
sure what a roadmap for
these groups would be.”

Mr. Walberg added that he thought the county
moving forward with a Strategic Plan was a good idea
and he also said, “We need to get our county organized
and streamlined.”
Mr. Carlisle added that he assumed all of the various
regional groups have goals or a set of goals. No one
responded. Then he added, “We need to have an idea of
how this will all work and how we can work with all of
these groups.” In short, he said, “We need to get our act
together. All of this regional work is good but we need
to organize ourselves.”
Mr. Terrinoni offered a note of encouragement, “With
all of this discussion of regionalism, we have to get on
the train.” He also questioned if anyone involved has
a clear idea of how all of these dispirit committees and
governmental entities will all work together.
Mr. Terrinoni concluded, “Now we are planning our
county meeting (Retreat) and we have to be involved (in
regional development discussions) or be left out.”
About nine years ago a meeting occurred in Belvidere
at the Community Building that included the mayors of
Belvidere and Rockford who met with the chairmen of
the Boone County and Winnebago county boards. In
addition, representatives of Growth Dimensions and
other neighboring municipalities were present along
with the mayor of Rochelle. The purpose of the meeting
was for leaders to consider ideas to establish a regional
approach to economic growth and development and to
hear how Rochelle was managing the growth they were
experiencing.
The Rail Port had just opened in Rochelle and that
city was experiencing significant economic growth and

development. The meeting ran over a luncheon and a
couple other similar events were planned and a couple of
them occurred. But since that event, groups have arisen
to consider a regional approach to growth and economic
development but little tangible results have followed.
There are today a number of groups in Rockford,
Belvidere and elsewhere that have arisen to discuss a
regional approach to growth. Mr. Carlisle was seeking to
gain understanding of what these individual groups were
hoping to accomplish and how the County Board can and
should be involved.
There was no tangible result to the discussion in
the administrative and legislative committee meeting.
However, the members of the committee expressed their
views on including discussion of the county Strategic
Plan at the January Retreat. Consensus was reached to
include consideration of the Plan as a part of the Retreat
agenda. The County Board January Retreat is scheduled
to convene on Saturday, January 16 at 8 a.m. at the Boone
County Board meeting room in the County Administrative
Center on Logan Avenue. The public and members of the
community are invited to attend.
County Needs
A New Truck
By James Middleton
The headline above might not be notable unless one
considers the arduous task it was for County representatives
to craft a budget for Fiscal Year 2016. Boone County elected
officials debated and cut and set aside many infrastructure
needs and other initiatives to arrive at a budget document
that proposed a very thin surplus for the current fiscal year.
One of the initiatives that was approved for the current
fiscal year was for the county to buy a replacement truck.
However, even though the funding for the purchase of a
new truck was planned and budgeted for Fiscal 2016, the
line item was not put in the final budget document that was
approved in the November County Board meeting. Unless
one is aware of governmental activities and budgeting,
they might think, to add a budgeted item that was ignored,
by mistake is a simple matter. The addition of the line item
is not simply accomplished.
Illinois law is rather explicit regarding altering a
previously approved county budget. If the need is to satisfy
an “emergency,” the budget may be amended through a
legislative process. However, Illinois law does not define
what constitutes an “emergency.” The balancing act is
delicate with steps, some of which are detailed and others
that are not to legally amend a previously enacted budget.
Exclusion of the funding to buy the road truck was not
purposeful but was one detail that escaped review before
the final document was delivered to the County Board for
approval.
Boone County administrator Ken Terrinoni introduced
the item in the Boone County Board roads and capital
improvements meeting, by saying, “This is a time when
we have to eat crow and admit, we did not get this item
into the 2016 budget.” The item would provide funding
to purchase a new road truck for the county. The money
is available and the money had previously been approved
but the item was not included in the final budget document.
One committee member asked how urgent the purchase
was. County engineer Rich Lundin answered, “We cannot
really extend through all of this year into next. The box
is in very bad shape and needs repairs. The clutch on the
truck is going, the bushings are also going and we cannot
go much further.” He added, “In my opinion, to repair this
truck would be a waste of good money. This is a 1999 truck
and we have well over 100,000 miles on the odometer.”
Mr. Lundin had earlier estimated last year when he
presented his budget request to the County Board finance
committee that the cost of replacement with a new vehicle
could be $185,000. He added after the meeting that the
cost of the truck chassis could total $100,000 and the cost
of the box could total at or above $70,000. A motion was
put to the floor to approve the purchase of this vehicle but
that did not end the discussion.
County representative Karl Johnson (District 2) asked,
if the item and purchase funding for the truck was not in the
budget, does the County Board really have to do anything.
Mr. Terrinoni said, “We will have to amend the budget
and to do this, I really have to talk to the state’s attorney
(Michelle Courier). I believe that we can amend the budget
if the change is an ‘emergency.’” He later suggested Ms.
Courier would be needed to define what constitutes an
“emergency.”
Mr. Terrinoni added, “We need to get the procedure
down.”
Mr. Johnson then suggested, “Is it possible that we
would order the truck and take delivery of the truck after
December 1? We would have our new budget for Fiscal
year 2017 in place by that time, the line item could be
included and we wouldn’t have to amend the budget.”
In Our 20th Year
Mr. Lundin clarified what needs to occur before the
county could take possession of a new truck. First, he said,
bids would have to be solicited from truck dealer that could
provide a truck chassis that meets the needs of the county.
Second, another company would have to be solicited for
bids to manufacture the box that would sit on the back of
the truck. Mr. Lundin suggested that two companies are
needed for bids and because two companies would provide
the final vehicle, that would complicate delivery to occur
at a specified date.
Mr. Lundin suggested that the truck would be produced
before the box would be finished and that meant the truck
dealer would want to be paid upon delivery of the truck
to the box manufacturer. Many on the committee initially
supported Mr. Johnson’s suggestion but, as Mr. Lundin
clarified the specifics, the support disappeared.
Mr. Lundin added, after amending the budget, “We’d
go out for bids in March. We might be able to get the
www.boonecountyjournal.com
truck in from two to three months then the truck would be
delivered to the company that would make the box. The
box will take the longest.” He also said, that he needs to
have delivery before snow would fall. The replacement
truck in question would replace one of the county snow
plow truck needed for the winter season.
“We need to get going on this,” Mr. Lundin said, “to be
ready by next winter.” One of the representatives asked
if the State of Illinois provides a list of available vehicles.
Mr. Lundin added, “No, the state cannot help here and we
have to go out for bids from manufacturers or suppliers.”
With that, discussion of the question ended and a vote
was taken on the motion to amend the 2016 budget, to go
out for bids and to buy the replacement county truck in this
fiscal year. A voice vote was unanimous and Mr. Terrinoni
will be speaking with Ms. Courier to clarify the specific
process the County Board must engage to amend the Fiscal
Year 2016 county budget.
