He had a difficult life after the war dying of alcoholism and exposure on January 24, 1955. The Navy corpsman was John Bradley (70) of Antigo, Wisconsin. He was the last surviving member of the group that raised the flag on Iwo Jima. Joe Rosenthal (94) was born of Jewish immigrants who came to America and settled in Washington DC. It is odd but he was deferred from serving during World War II because of his poor sight. In 1941 he attended the University of San Francisco and was hired by AP as a photographer. He worked at other jobs and was later rehired by AP in 1944 and was went to the Pacific Theatre of the War to follow the Marines as they moved toward the Japanese mainland. Joe Rosenthal served as an AP photographer on Hollandia, New Guinea, Guam, Peleliu, Angaur and Iwo Jima. After the War he left the AP and became a photographer for the San Francisco Chronicle where he worked for 35 more years before retiring in 1981. The Journal wants to recognize Associated Press for holding the copyright on the photograph shown here. We also want to recognize the estate of Joe Rosenthal.

City Makes Plans By James Middleton A decision was made in the Boone County Board meeting that met the goal of the majority of their elected members, but that decision did not pass muster with everyone. The decision that occurred was for County Board officials to sever an Intergovernmental Agreement (Agreement) that had sustained for decades. That Agreement had the City of Belvidere and Boone County that created the island centuries earlier. The top of the equally sharing and using planning services.

A rail spur extending more than 275-miles is being proposed that would bypass all of Chicago. This proposed route could roll through eastern Boone County and the forces in opposition are already assembling. Some of the same people that successfully banned wind turbine technology from Boone County are gearing for this fight; however, this public outcry will proceed down a different path than the wind turbine controversy because of law. However, the idea of advancing and expanding rail transportation has been important to Boone County for many years. So much of current law governing how railroads are run, how they expand and how they are funded was set more than a century ago. Railroads developed in America long before interstate highways. Railroads interlaced the nation long before air travel interlaced the world in a global network and because of this, the rule of law was granted to advance rail expansion. Plans for creation of this rail spur are only now being formulated after years of discussion. The idea could expand the coverage of the Great Lakes Basin railroad through application to the U.S. Surface Transportation Board asking to create a 275-mile rail arc that would run from Milton, Wisconsin south past Rockford and through Boone County to south of Rochelle. From there the route would turn east and south passing Kankakee and continuing east into Indiana near Lowell before turning due north and ending south of Michigan City and La Porte, Indiana. The projected cost to create this spur line to bypass Chicago could total $8-billion. The broad goal would allow for faster transit of freight across the nation that is not require delivery to Chicago. Those trains could bypass the city and avoid the congestion. To say that this idea has a longshot for approval could be to state the obvious. No other similar project of this size has been approved in more than a half century, in part, because rail transportation has been in decline for that timeframe. A Chicago business man, Frank Patton has assembled a group of railroad experts and venture capitalists instrumental in advancing the idea. The plan also has a promising supporter with billionaire investor Warren Buffett who has made extensive railroad investments for his venture capital firm, Berkshire-Hathaway. Last fall Mr. Patton appeared before the Rockford Metropolitan Agency for Planning (RMAP) where he presented his ideas for the route. Part of the work that RMAP performs is to decide how federal transportation money coming into the Rockford region should be spent. The initial route for the spur ran west of Rockford but wetlands and other environmental concerns required the route to be shifted east to pass through Boone County. The initial response to this idea has not been favorable; however, Mr. Patton and his people have yet to formulate a formal plan for the spur route. Though the formal plans have yet to be presented, the prospect of such a route through Boone County is of such importance, the Boone County Board roads and capital improvements committee had discussion of the idea on their March agenda. Other county committees are planning to consider the question along with probable public hearings. Some have speculated opposition from Boone County farmers from a railroad right-of-way carving through their corn fields. Because of law dating back to 1810 to encourage railroad companies to create a rail network to interlace the nation, certain benefits were conferred to railroad companies to encourage them to risk capital to expand the industry that would benefit the nation. One benefit allowed railroads to obtain land through eminent domain. Railroads can acquire land for public use and that could limit the degree to which Boone County residents can effectively protest creation of the spur. Their protests might accomplish very little to alter or to deny the route. OBITUARIES Some have speculated that creation of this route could also give rise to the idea for Illinois to create an airport near Peotone. Another idea could also arise for a proposed interstate highway to connect Interstate 55 with interstate 65 through Indiana. Both ideas could create jobs, increase the construction benefits to Illinois and Indiana and perhaps expand the economies in both states. However, the creation of a new international airport in Peotone would likely make Beal, Mildred, 97, Belvidere, February 24th for direct competition for the Rockford international Airport and that alone could create opposition that could cause Downey, Charles, 91, Poplar Grove, Feb.19th problems for the proposed developers. Grenberg, Audrey, 89, Belvidere, February 28th Those that watch the federal government have suggested that the current U.S. Department of Transportation is likely to look favorably on the rail spur plan. The Obama Administration has favored expansion of rail transportation since Jackson, Audrey, 88, Belvidere, February 19th coming to office. Johnson, Brian, 54, Belvidere, February 26th Creation of this spur route could also provide significant opportunity for expansion and creation of other industries McKiski, Russell, 82, Belvidere, February 2nd in the area. For example, junctions could be created along the route to allow for truck—rail transit points. With the abundance of interstate roadways around Rockford, Belvidere and points south, such terminus points could provide Murphy, RoseMary, 90, Cherry Valley, Feb.28th benefit for communities that have been flagged for years by double-digit unemployment rates and lack of residential Sell, Charles, 93, Belvidere, February 21st growth. But, of course, there are those that will heighten their strident voices to protest change perhaps as much as the type of change.

Proven Leadership. Trusted Experience. Committed to Boone County .

Michelle Courier with Police Chief Jan Noble I am writing to share my support of Michelle Courier as our Boone County State’s Attorney. As a life -long resident of Boone County and Illinois’ longest serving Police Chief, I can attest to the strong partnership that has developed between her office, the community, and the police.

Prior to State’s Attorney Courier taking office, Belvidere faced unprecedented gang activity and gang violence. It has been a combination of several factors which have made Belvidere a safer place to live today: directed prosecution against gang and narcotic offenders, proactive policing concentrating on narcotics and gangs, and finally getting local neighborhoods involved. Through all of this Michelle Courier has been a strong partne r.
