Real Journalism for a Real Democracy www.boonecountyjournal.com Published Every Friday • July 22nd, 2016 • Vol 21 • Issue 12 No. 1052 region and in Belvidere, there were many millinery stores available to find almost any “notion” or idea that anyone could imagine. The three women shown here likely worked in Ames Millinery. No one identified the women shown here but we could likely conclude that one of the women was Mrs. Ames whose name appeared on the front of the store. In addition to women’s dresses and men’s suits, Ames Millinery also carried fabrics that could be made into shades, curtains, draperies, bedspreads, towels and a myriad collection of other fabric goods. Women in the later 1800s also made their own bed clothing, sheets, pillow cases and their personal underwear. Those were the days when men and women did not generally rely on others to manage their personal needs. The culture of today has moved far away from those days of the rugged individualist who handled their own plumbing, their own housing construction and their own personal clothing construction. So many of those skills that were learned by young girls and boys as they watched their parents handle these needs have disappeared as the culture advanced and changed after World War II. As the culture moved through the years after World War II more and more the cultural and economic changes strove for a more specialized society. Further, the ease of shopping and with the advent of credit as a form of currency, people chose to throw away clothing and curtains and bed linens when they wore out rather than to repair them. The economic theory was called “planned obsolescence.” When Ames Millinery was prospering in downtown Belvidere, clothing and curtains were repaired and darned until there was little left to repair. The women pictured here appeared to have worn their finest dresses just for the photographer. It is likely that the dresses were made from cloth that Ames Millinery had on their shelves. Perhaps the plaid fabric worn in the luxurious dress worn by the woman on the far right came from a bolt of fabric in the store. The plaid fabric might have come to Ames from Scotland or England where some of the finest fabrics were found in that era of the middle and late 19th Century. Millinery stores found in many small towns across the nation of those days all stocked fabric, thread, needles and fringe along with sewing machines later near the end of the 19th Century. Some here might remember that sewing machines were very important to the growth and development of Belvidere because the National Sewing Machine Company once held a primary site at State Street and Main Street. However, even that presence changed as the years advanced. By the middle of the 20th Century the cost to manufacture sewing machines in Belvidere had become too high as other manufacturers had sent their manufacturing to Taiwan and Korea and Japan after the end of World War II. The reduced cost to manufacture sewing machines and other consumer products led to the demise of the National Sewing Machine Company. But, by that time, Mrs. Ames Millinery Store had also disappeared from downtown Belvidere. Some her have wondered when or if the downtown neighborhood of Belvidere would ever reappear as a viable commercial site. Perhaps one day that rebirth will occur but for now, searching to find those retail outlets where consumers can find what they want is most often satisfied at the local Wall Mart store and no longer at Ames Millinery. The Journal wants to thank the Boone County Historical century ago, these items were essentials that were found in Society for allowing use of the photograph used for this every home. story. Memories of a In the late 19th Century Belvidere had a number of downtown millinery stores. Millinery is a word that modern women and girls might need to search-out a definition to Dying Age understand what the word means. The word “millinery” By James Middleton means a business or the work of a milliner and a “milliner” Big Plans There was a day when girls and young women had a list is a person who designs, makes, trims or sells women’s of tasks that they would need to know before they embarked hats.

The changes from one era to equipment used in the manufacture and repair of clothing of benefitting from old local sources to stimulate growth another era are truly spectacular when one considers hos and cloth. and development of the economy while being unable to some of those postulates have today, been forgotten.

Last year a“Lost faction on the Boone Time County Board Is severed Never a tie that had bound Found” Belvidere with Boone County over many decades. The severed tie was the destruction of the city/county planning department that, in part, resulted from a dispute between the County Board and members of the planning department. The chairman persuaded his colleagues that ending that long-standing relationship was in the county’s best interest. The community was told that the severance occurred due to a disparity in planning needs between the city and the county however the underlying reasons for the severance were far more personal in nature. Belvidere hired the former assistant planner who remained after the resignation of the woman who would forever be referred to as the “interim” planning director. The city also retained planning documents, books and maps used for making planning decisions. These materials remain in the Belvidere City Hall and Boone County netted nothing from the severance. Taxpayers here might ponder if the separation was in the best interests of the county who forced the separation. Now, some in Boone County government might wish for a return to the “good old days” when planning needs and expenses were shared with the city. The result of the break-up has the city continuing with no interruption while the county struggles along trying to define their needs and in search of someone to meet those needs. In the interim the county has hired a planning firm to handle the details but the county is also using county executives to provide planning assistance though these workers might not be fully qualified for such a job. One reason for the severance, beyond the conflict between County Board leadership and members of the planning department, county officials believed that more planning services were being consumed by the city over the county. No complete record of planning needs of the city and the county was provided but of the months that were reviewed, more planning cases did arise in the city than those in the county. However, the nature of planning law allows for an inherent disparity that would dictate that more planning needs are required by towns than by counties. For example, under state law, towns and cities are granted a mile and a half boundary around their city limits where annexations may occur. There is no similar ability granted to counties and that means, counties compress in size while cities expand and therefore, have greater planning needs. Belvidere advanced after the severance while the county sought aid from a neighboring county and then a planning firm was hired as a consultant. Finally, the county created a job description to define skills that they sought in a new planning director and now the county is advertising for candidates. Boone County elected officials are four months behind while the city is moving forward and handling their planning needs without interruption. The county is operating without an infrastructure to manage planning needs without hiring the consultants that carries a price. As the unsatisfied needs progressed, the county administration staff has been drafted to leave their specified county duties to help people fill out planning case applications. This is not an efficient use of county personnel. The biggest problem facing officials is that the county has lost time in the preparation of the new Fiscal Year 2017 county budget. Policy has required the county administrator to begin the annual budget preparation process in June. The process runs through the ensuing months with the need for extra and special meetings to occur before the new budget could be adopted before November 30. The County Board finance committee awaits receipt of proposed budgets from county departments. Those proposed budgets must be evaluated before the final shaping process can begin. Already a hiring freeze enacted three months ago has been scrapped in lieu of new policy based upon need. Last year the county General Fund had a $700,000 deficit due to reduced revenue from the jail and higher than expected healthcare expenses among county workers. It is incumbent upon county leaders to dedicate the necessary OBITUARIES time to shape a new budget that might have a greater probability than last year to remain in balance. However, the need to also provide planning assistance and to manage a construction project has county leaders under pressure. The likelihood is that the need for a planning director will not be satisfied until deep in August. County officials in Aylward, William, 71, Cherry Valley, July 16th the administrator’s office are responsible for preparing the new budget, interviewing and hiring a planning director and Warden, Janet, 96, Belvidere, July 9th assigning the new hire their duties in addition to managing the construction of the new Boone County animal control th shelter that will cost much more than $1 million after generous county voters approved spending $800,000. Finding the Watts, Myrna, 100, Belvidere, July 11 extra money there is also the responsibility of the administration office. Perhaps the best method to manage all these tasks at issue is to ask, “Who needs help and who spoke first?” The needs of the county might have now surpassed the county’s ability to satisfy all of those needs with some of the most BELVIDERE FUNERAL HOME INC. pressing needs resulting from self-inflicted wounds. The end of a fiscal year is a hard deadline that demands a response. It is likely that a new budget will be finished but 203 LOGAN AVE. taxpayers might wonder if that document will be prepared with the same degree of precision that has been employed in previous budgets. BELVIDERE, IL 61008 The goal is, of course, to produce a budget that is accurate however, as time grows short the need for precision might (815) 544-2121 be set aside in lieu of buying lost time. The building project, hiring a planning director, managing purchasing for the county and the myriad other jobs in the administration office is daunting. Benjamin Franklin wrote in Poor Richard’s Almanac, “Lost time is never found again.” So it will be with Boone County in this budget season. More than one month is already lost and that lost time can never be reclaimed. Creating P roviding comfort, quality and complete the new budget will rely, as always, on the full focus of county leaders engaged in that job. They might find that a decision last year that made so much sense to so few will haunt county leaders long beyond the end of Fiscal Year 2016. choice of funeral, cremation and pre- arrangement services in a landmark facility over a 5 year period?​ I truly do not think so. for over 100 years OP-ED Lets look at fees for food permits.
