This is the design local veterans have chosen for Veterans Memorial Park, which will be built on the triangular lot at Santa Fe Avenue and
Chestnut Street near Pearce Community Center. The local committee is now looking for residents to join them in raising funds for the
$250,000 project. illustration
Veterans Memorial Park in works
By Marianne Gillespie
TimesNewspapers
C
hillicothe area veterans
are planning a large
memorial project and
now are asking for the publicвЂ™s
support.
вЂњItвЂ™s a way for the citizens of
Chillicothe to say thank you,вЂќ
said veteran and proponent Tom
Harms.
Veterans Memorial Park, a
$250,000 endeavor, will be located on the triangular property
near Pearce Community Center,
Santa Fe Avenue and Chestnut
Street.
The project was announced
Monday at a press conference at
the VFW Post 4999 home with
fanfare.
The Chillicothe Veterans Memorial Project committee got its
start after Harms and Ron Allen
rode around the United States
on their motorcycles and would
see veteransвЂ™ memorials.
вЂњI felt that Chillicothe had
nice memorials,вЂќ Harms said of
the memorials which are located
in Chillicothe City Cemetery. вЂњI
thought that we could do better.вЂќ
Letting the idea grow in his
mind, Harms decided that this
was the time to do something.
He called a meeting with the
American Legion, AMVETS and
VFW to talk about the idea in
early January.
With enthusiasm spreading,
the committee moved ahead.
вЂњPeople will be just naturally
drawn to it,вЂќ said veteran Jim
Wright.
Veteran Marshel Poff said the
memorial will recognize both
living veterans and those who
are deceased.
вЂњIt was 30 years before I ever
heard a thank you. I donвЂ™t want
the current veterans to wait that
long,вЂќ Poff said.
Harms said the memorial will
give residents and visitors alike
some time for reflection.
вЂњMemorials mean different things to different people.
Veterans go to reflect on their
time spent. Civilians who have
never been in the service but
have an idea of what happened
get something different out of
it,вЂќ Harms said. вЂњIt gives you a
chance to think about it.вЂќ
From early on in the planning,
Poff said the committee did
not want the memorial to be a
вЂњmilitary hardware parking lot,вЂќ
so they looked for something
unique.
Finding a place
Looking for a suitable piece of
ground to build the memorial on
proved to be a challenge as the
men had seven or eight different
properties in mind, and a handful of criteria they wanted.
First, the area needed serenity
with some peace and quiet. It
also needed to be visible, allow
traffic and be secure.
Each property they vetted, but
they landed on Ruth McLaughlinвЂ™s triangular lot. She worked
the VFW bingo with Dave Hinkle one night, and he mentioned
the project to her early on in
the process. Her late husband,
Lee, was a World War II veteran
and a member of VFW post.
She offered it to the committee
if it was suitable for what they
wanted.
вЂњAs soon as she knew we were
looking for a spot вЂ” boom вЂ”
she never hesitated,вЂќ Hinkle said
of McLaughlinвЂ™s donation of
land.
After surveying the neighbors
and finding no objections, it
ended up meeting all the committeeвЂ™s criteria.
Symbolism
Created by a 30-year Marine
Corps veteran Jim Pesch of
Peoria, the memorial itself is
to be inclusive to all veterans.
The shape of the memorial is a
star, one of the nationвЂ™s repeating symbols, from being used on
the flag to the nationвЂ™s greatest
awards for service. It is 53 feet
from point to point.
Around the star are six benches, representing each branch of
the military, including the sometimes forgotten Coast Guard
and Merchant Marines.
вЂњThis is for everybody. We
donвЂ™t want to forget anyone,вЂќ
Harms said.
Near the middle is the battlefield cross, comprised of the
boots, rifle and helmet. A rose
compass is also in the middle.
On either side of the entrance
are two guards saluting each
other: one is a Revolutionary
War guard from 1776 and the
other is from the Gulf War. Saluting each other symbolizes the
passing of the torch from one
generation to another, Harms
said.
A back wall with three flag
poles in front of it bears the saying, вЂњFreedom is not free.вЂќ
Making up the outlining of the
star is river rock of various colors, representing the ethnicity of
the service men and women.
The star includes positions for
3,400 bricks which may be

Toes in the Sand Massage offers getaway in town
By drew veskauf
TimesNewspapers
Everything came together just right for
James Randell when
opening Toes in the Sand
Massage, a new massage
parlor.
Randell moved to
Chillicothe in January 2013 and opened
the business in August.
He attended Midwest
Technical Institute in
East Peoria for massage
therapy.
вЂњIвЂ™ve got nothing but
praises about MTI. ItвЂ™s a
great place to go. I was
lucky enough to get my
GI Bill to go,вЂќ Randell
said.
After time in the Coast
Guard from 2001-08,
Randell was a truck
driver and mechanic living in Bloomington. He
then wanted a change of
pace and decided to attend MTI.
вЂњIt wasnвЂ™t massage
therapy, per say, that I
wanted to get into. I just
wanted to get away from
the 80-hour work weeks,
being gone all the time or
getting up at four in the
morning and getting back
at 10 at night,вЂќ Randell

Welcome to Springfield, Mr. Rauner
PE-4237659
Welcome to Springfield, governor-elect
Rauner.
Illinois voters took a
gamble on you Nov. 4,
choosing you to be the
stateвЂ™s 42nd governor
and the first Republican
to hold the office since
George Ryan departed
in 2003.
Your victory was far
from a landslide; you
won with slightly more
than 50 percent of the
vote.
That suggests Illinoisans arenвЂ™t completely
sold on you. But your
message of вЂњtake back
IllinoisвЂќ resonated with
enough residents who
are hungry for a new
direction in a state
plagued by financial
problems and one-party
rule at the Statehouse.
Voters gambled by
placing their bets on a
rookie, an вЂњoutsider,вЂќ
someone different, after a difficult, intensely
negative campaign.
Now itвЂ™s time for you
to begin the important
task of bringing people
together to move Illinois
forward.
You are the least-experienced candidate to
be elected to statewide
office this week, and, for
now at least, you have
limited insight into the
workings of state government. ThatвЂ™s not to
say you canвЂ™t learn or
get things done. But you
must get educated about
the amount of time and
effort itвЂ™s going to take to
accomplish the items on
your ambitious agenda.
YouвЂ™ve said you want
to address IllinoisвЂ™ pension crisis; get the state
operating in the black;
reform the tax code and
close corporate tax loopholes; reform Central
Management Services;
reform workers compensation laws; devote more
money and attention to
education; invest in infrastructure, agriculture
and natural resources;
personally lure compa-
nies to Illinois; work the
floor of the legislature;
sit in on legislative committee hearings and
more.
ItвЂ™s simply unrealistic.
Quickly prioritize what
you most wish to accomplish вЂ” pension reform
and getting the stateвЂ™s
budget in order should
be at the top of the list
вЂ” and focus on those
things. ThatвЂ™s what voters want most from you.
And once you decide
what it is you wish to
accomplish first, let the
voters and taxpayers in
on what it will take to
carry out those plans.
No more platitudes,
and no more IвЂ™ll-talkabout-it-later brush-offs.
Illinoisans are equal
partners in this endeavor, and they deserve to
understand exactly what
you want to do and how
you intend to do it. Tax-
payers deserve accountability.
We couldnвЂ™t help but
notice the boos of some
of your supporters during your election-night
acceptance speech
when you mentioned
House Speaker Michael
Madigan and Senate
President John Cullerton, both Democrats.
You had just proclaimed
your desire to work with
them to find bipartisan
solutions to the stateвЂ™s
problems. You could
have demonstrated independence and leadership
had you reminded the
crowd that booing is not
a good beginning after
a tough campaign, nor
does it help you advance
your agenda on behalf of
the state.
Going forward, we
suggest surrounding
yourself with thoughtful, experienced, highly
principled aides, Republican and Democrat,
who can and will work
with all stakeholders вЂ”
including lawmakers on
both sides of the aisle,
taxpayers and unionized
state workers вЂ” to help
convey and carry out
your vision for Illinois.
Anything less makes
your pledges about bipartisanship and working together little more
than hollow promises.
Illinois is counting
on your leadership as
you work to make the
state more prosperous.
Some of the groundwork
already has been laid
вЂ” IllinoisвЂ™ unemployment rate is improving,
for example. Voters are
looking to you to keep
it moving in the right
direction.
YouвЂ™re clearly passionate about helping Illinois. Just keep in mind
that it all begins with
working across party
lines, delegating to those
you trust and learning to
pick your battles.

The Illinois River
Road National Scenic Byway not only
promotes the regionвЂ™s
natural sites between
Ottawa and Havana, it
now directs visitors to
unique and authentic
visitor-based businesses
located throughout the
byway region through its
redesigned website and
recently launched mobile site.
With funding from
Illinois Department of
Transportation and Office of Tourism grants,
these new products enhance the visitorsвЂ™ experience, as well as provide
small businesses opportunities to promote
themselves to those
traveling the 10-county
byway region.
Anaise Berry, byway
executive director, said,
вЂњByway travelers and
nature tourists seek
the off the beaten path
experience вЂ” exploring
communitiesвЂ™ history
and attractions, dining
in restaurants that arenвЂ™t
part of a national chain,
shopping in distinctive
stores, purchasing items
made or grown here in
the region, as well as
staying in lodging facilities such as B&Bs, inns
and boutique hotels. We
want to connect visitors
to the very businesses
theyвЂ™re looking for when
traveling the Illinois
River Road.вЂќ
In an economic development study completed
by the Illinois River
Road in 2012, the byway
organization found that
byway visitors wanted to
know more about these
kinds of experiences as
part of their trip. Additionally, small byway
businesses that were
surveyed expressed a desire to be promoted on
the Illinois River Road
website, so that visiting
consumers could find
them more easily. вЂњConnecting byway travelers
to small businesses is
a win-win situation for
visitors and small business owners,вЂќ said byway
board member and
small business owner,
Julie Hubbard.
With over 150,000
visitors to the site annually, IllinoisRiverRoad.
org helps connect nature
and byway travelers to
the small businesses
that enrich their visit.
The Illinois River Road
website (IllinoisRiverRoad.org) now allows
for those unique, locally-owned businesses
that complement the
visitor experience to be
listed on the site, free
of charge. The site also
offers advertising opportunities in addition to
the free listing.
Launched just in time
for October fall foliage
visitors and upcoming
holiday activities is the
Illinois River RoadвЂ™s mobile site, providing easy
access to information
about byway communities, nature sites, events,
small businesses and attractions throughout the
corridor. This new mobile site will assist visitors with trip planning
while on the road.

Hospice provides
care, comfort
November is National
Hospice and Palliative
Care Month and while
most people avoid talking about this subject, I
would like to encourage
families to discuss their
options early вЂ” before
decisions need to be
made.
Hospice is an additional layer of support
for patients facing endof-life illnesses and their
families. National Hospice and Palliative Care
Organization research
has found that eight out
of 10 Americans want
to be cared for in their
homes if facing a life-limiting illness. By delivering physical, emotional,
financial and spiritual
support, Hospice provides compassionate care
and needed resources for
patients and families to
make in-home care possible. It is this all-encompassing care that makes
hospice so beneficial, yet
nearly half of the people
eligible for hospice care
do not receive it.
Hospice is a choice and
a benefit that may be covered by Medicare, Medicaid, and private insurance. I witness daily how
hospice care can bring
a much-needed layer of
support that enriches the
lives of patients and their
families.
This November, make
it a point to talk to your
family about the kind of
care you would prefer.

City, county election consolidation wins on third try
countyвЂ™s polling places.
Voters approved the
referendum with 25,589
votes in favor, or 53 percent, and 23,026 votes
opposed, or 47 percent,
on Nov. 4.
вЂњIвЂ™m pleased that it

months to transition to a
By Matt Buedel
GateHouse Media Illinois
PEORIA вЂ” The third
time was a charm for the
vote to consolidate city
and county election commissions.
Voters decided to create
an Peoria County Election
Commission out of the
Peoria City Election Commission and the portion of
the Peoria County ClerkвЂ™s
Office that handles the
countywide election commission.вЂќ
The vote totals reflected different desires in the
county and the city.
Voters in Peoria County
ultimately rejected the
measure, with 11,816 voting against consolidation
and 9,994 voting in favor.
A greater number of
voters in the city, however,
opted for consolidation:
15,595 were in favor, and
11,210 were opposed.
The measure has twice
before been defeated, including once in the last
decade.
The consolidation will
create a countywide entity
that has five commissioners вЂ” three from within
the city and two from the
rest of the county. The
chief judge of the local judicial circuit will appoint
the commissioners.
No more than three of
the new commissioners
can come from the same
political party.
They will hire staff for
the commission.
Proponents of the measure touted it as a cost savings for taxpayers, since
the county is required by
state law to provide space
for the cityвЂ™s election commission.
That office and the portion of the County ClerkвЂ™s
Office that handles elections likely will move to
office space at 2016 N.
Knoxville Ave. that had
been home to the Care and
Treatment Board.
County Clerk Steve Sonnemaker, however, had
cautioned that the consolidation could end up
costing taxpayers money
since some of his crosstrained employees would
be dedicated to election
work all the time instead
of just during the election
season.
Peoria County voters approve consolidation of recorder and clerk offices

PEORIA вЂ” The Peoria
County recorder of deeds
position soon will be history.
County voters decided
Nov. 4 to merge the recorderвЂ™s office with that

ballots had been recorded,
or 56 percent. There were
20,578 no votes, or 44 percent.
Referendum approval
in the city of Peoria led
14,324 to 10,102, with
some absentee ballots yet
to be tabulated. Yes votes
accounted for 59 percent.
The margin elsewhere in
Peoria County was narrower вЂ” 11,577 to 10,435.
Yes votes accounted for 53
percent.
The consolidation is to
take effect in December
2016. About four months
ago, the Peoria County
Board voted to move forward with the referendum.
вЂњI am very pleased
the voters had a chance
to decide and am happy
with the outcome of the
recorder-elimination referendum,вЂќ board member
Stephen Morris, a merger
proponent, stated in a text
message Tuesday night.
вЂњI am confident the
County Board will make
certain the anticipated,
substantial savings are
realized and the services
are maintained.вЂќ
Eliminating the recorderвЂ™s post and that
of the chief deputy clerk
might save up to about
$175,000 annually, Morris
has said.
Nancy Horton, the cur-
rent recorder, did not return a telephone message
the night of election.
During the meeting at
which the County Board
decided to put the merger
to a public vote, Horton
said the idea was rushed
and ill-conceived.
вЂњWe have no forethought
and only vague estimates
of possible savings,вЂќ Horton, a Republican, said
then.
HortonвЂ™s term in office is
to expire at the time of the
consolidation.
Tazewell and McLean
counties are among those
in Illinois that have eliminated the recorderвЂ™s position.

Some of the benefits of
adopting an older animal
include:
вЂў Older pets have manners. Most pets have
spent years living with a
family and have been socialized with humans.
вЂў Residents can teach
an old dog (or cat) new
tricks. They are able to
focus easily and donвЂ™t get
distracted as easily as
younger pets.
вЂў Older animals have
already passed through
the destructive phase.
вЂў When residents
adopt a mature pet,
there isnвЂ™t a huge lifestyle
change for the adopter.
Older pets generally
acclimate to a routine
quicker and often take
little housebreaking.
вЂў When residents
adopt an older animal,
residents already know
their size. It wonвЂ™t get
any bigger or look any
different than at the time
of adoption.
вЂў Mature animals usu-
ally behave better. They
are quieter, calmer and
more relaxed.
вЂў And adoption fees
are waived in November.
Many dogs and cats
live for 12, 15, or even
more years.
If residents are concerned about the amount
of time youвЂ™ll have with
a senior pet, understand
that even a 10-year-old
animal has years of life
left.
Contact PCAPS this
month to find out more
about adopting a senior
pet.

on adoption, behavior,
and care, visit PCAPS

Park during Memorial Day weekend. In 2014, $25,116.00 was given to local Chillicothe community groups. The following organizations received proceeds from the
fund: Altrusa of Chillicothe; Boy Scouts of America; Boy Scout Troop 50; Boy Scout Troop 163; Chillicothe JFL; Chillicothe 4th of July; Chillicothe Historical Society;

to use only American-made

вЂњThe money was always good, but initially I
wanted to do something
where I could be home

Randell knew he wanted to go into the helping
people business, but
didnвЂ™t want to spend the
time going through with
a nursing degree.
вЂњThe longer IвЂ™m doing

like it was a great call to

fit for me and my personality,вЂќ Randell said.
All facets of operations

when deciding to open
his first business.
вЂњThis is a nice mix of

вЂњI grew up in a town
roughly the same size
as Chillicothe. Chilli is
a great place for small

Johnson first girl runner to make All-State
By drew veskauf
TimesNewspapers
New ground was broken again for the IVC
girls cross country team.
Senior Demi Johnson
made All-State honors
after earning 17th place
in the 1A State meet Saturday.
вЂњItвЂ™s an awesome feat
sheвЂ™s accomplished with
only running cross country this year,вЂќ coach Dennis Fraikes said.
Johnson ran a personal
best, 18:15, to place her in
the top 20.
вЂњShe got out real well.
She popped out ahead in
time to get out front and
she did a great job,вЂќ Fraikes said.
вЂњShe put herself in the
position to get the spot
she did.вЂќ
She is the first girl run-
ner to be a member of the
All-State honors team for
IVC.
Last season, sophomore
Katherine Schneider was
the first girl to qualify for
State, but getting behind
in a pack placed her at
94th.
This is the first, and
last, year for Johnson to
run on the cross country
team. It was her second
time at Detweiller Park.
The first time around,
she competed in the First
to the Finish meet Sept.
13 and paced herself to
finish at 18:56.4 for 11th
overall.
вЂњShe was pretty nervous
beforehand. SheвЂ™s a competitor so when she steps
in line, itвЂ™s time to go,вЂќ
Fraikes said.
вЂњHopefully she continues to run in college and Above, left, IVC senior Demi Johnson, middle, is awarded for her 17th place finish at the 1A State meet Saturday at Detweiller Park. Right, Johnson bolts for the finish Saturday to pace for an 18:15. submitted photos

Positives found throughout IVC football season
By drew veskauf
TimesNewspapers
The IVC varsity football team may have ended the season below .500
with a 2-7 record, but
there were also positives
in the season as well.
It was the first year for
the IVC team to compete
in the tough Corn Belt
Conference. The Grey
Ghosts were able to earn
two conference wins over
Pontiac, 17-7, and Bloom-
ington Central Catholic,
6-0.
вЂњIt was our first year.
Now we know how weвЂ™re
going to play with them.
Against U-High, we
werenвЂ™t too competitive,
but against everyone else
I thought we were,вЂќ coach
Tim Heinz said.
BCC has bolstered its
way through the 4A State
playoffs and are competing in the quarterfinals
Saturday against Rochester, making the IVC
victory that much more
impressive.
Junior Jack Ressler
was the savior of the victory over BCC with two
field goals over 20 yards.
Against Pontiac, junior
Luke Patty had a 70-yard
run to tie the Indians and
a 4-yard rush by senior
Andy Culbertson put the
Grey Ghosts ahead for
good.

Patty closed out the

touchdown in the season
in the opening match
against Canton.
Throughout the nine
games, IVC was outscored 84-215. However,
the Grey Ghosts had a
strong first half approach and only allowed
91 points in the first half
throughout the year.

plays to do that,вЂќ Heinz

Sophomore Jordan
Mercer took the reins of
the IVC offense and was
able to sustain the attacks.
The two lone touchdown passes of the season came from Mercer in
the Eureka Homecoming
game.
Mercer connected with
Patty on touchdown
passes of 32-yard and
42-yards. IVC ultimately
fell to the Hornets, 3727.
Although the varsity
team lost its fair share of
16 seniors, the juniors
and underclassmen will
be looking to take the
field next year.
вЂњWeвЂ™ll return some

to get them in the weight
room and get them

Ghosts and has built up
a 60-39 record.
This is the third year
under Heinz the Grey

Shakespeare and humor coming to IVC High School
By Amy Kinnary
for IVC District 321
Midsummer/Jersey
will be performing this
fall at IVC High School.
This a humorous retelling of ShakespeareвЂ™s
Midsummer NightвЂ™s
Dream in modern-day
New Jersey.
Midsummer/Jersey
consists of marriages,
love affairs, iPhone obsessed wood sprite, pop
music and a lively crew
of fairies. This play was
written for high schools
and colleges.
вЂњThis play will be entertaining for people
who love Shakespeare
and people who do not
understand it,вЂќ said Bob
Howell, drama director
at IVC High School.
вЂњThere are pieces in the
play that Shakespeare
lovers will be pleased
with and humorous
taglines for others to
understand the pieces
along with having a good
laugh.вЂќ
Midsummer/Jersey
earned its world premiere in November 2011
at James Robinson High
School in Fairfax, Va. The
shows were sold out at
every performance.
Midsummer/Jersey
will be live at 7:30 p.m.
Nov. 20-22 in the IVC

Did You Know?
Last year, more than 1,750 Chillicothe residents benefitted from United Way funded
programs such as youth mentoring, services for members of the armed forces, legal
help and much more. In addition, the United Way supports youth fitness programs
at the Pearce Community Center in Chillicothe. In total, 36 Heart of Illinois United
Way funded programs were utilized by Chillicothe residents last year.
Good nutrition is particularly important for school children. While they may eat breakfast and lunch at school
during the week, weekend meals are limited in some households. ThatвЂ™s why the United Way supports a snack
pack program through the Pearce Community Center in Chillicothe.
вЂњThere are a lot of hungry kids out there and I think itвЂ™s
important as a community to do what we can to make
sure those needs arenвЂ™t left unserved,вЂќ Ben Alvarez,
Pearce Community Center Director, said.

ChillicotheвЂ™s snack pack program offers nutritional food every
weekend for children who are eligible for free lunch programs
at school ... and teachers take care of getting it
into the childвЂ™s backpack.

Peoria County
Problems and progress mark overhaul of
Peoria Co.вЂ™s criminal justice computer system
By andy Kravetz
GateHouse Media Illinois
PEORIA вЂ” Trying to
evaluate how the first year
of Peoria CountyвЂ™s $7 million overhaul of its criminal
justice computer system is
difficult, to say the least.
On one hand, 60 million
data records were converted
and the public can access
criminal, civil and traffic
records on the Internet,
something they couldnвЂ™t
do before. But the program
has hampered the way the
county reports convictions,
both criminal and traffic, to
the state, and a judge found
several unreported driving
under the influence convictions; a fact which he found
вЂњunacceptable.вЂќ
All show the long voyage
that began last year with the
installation of the Odyssey
program has not yet been
completed.
вЂњSome felt that it would
work right out of the box
like magic and thatвЂ™s just not
the case,вЂќ said Mark Little,
the countyвЂ™s chief information officer. вЂњWe had a meeting a few months ago and I
showed people a picture of
a skyscraper and they felt
thatвЂ™s where we were with
regards to Odyssey. Then
I showed them a picture
of the basement and told
them thatвЂ™s where we actually are. ThereвЂ™s a lot more
to come.вЂќ
The project was among
the largest ever done by
Texas-based Tyler Technologies and the first in Illinois.
Peoria County sought to
integrate the computers of
the courts, the clerkвЂ™s office, probation officers, the
StateвЂ™s AttorneyвЂ™s Office and
the SheriffвЂ™s Office, allowing
them to share information
in real time.
Before Odyssey, each office was itsвЂ™ own enclave,
unable to communicate
with the other areas. The
clerkвЂ™s office was using a
30-year-old system which
resembled an old DOS operating system. Converting
the old data was a daunting
task. There were more than
2 million cases and 500,000
bookings that needed to be
converted into a format that
a modern Windows-based
program could use.
From the beginning, a key
issue was automated disposition reporting (ADR)
or electronically reporting
convictions to the state. It
worked under the old system but the state hasnвЂ™t yet
signed off on ADR for Odyssey. Critics say Tyler dropped
the ball on this aspect and
as a result, the deputy clerks
in Bobby SpearsвЂ™ office were
forced to do handwritten
dispositions, something
they hadnвЂ™t done for more
than 20 years.
Spears says his office
is now running about six
months behind in reporting
cases, though most of those
are traffic offenses. He and
others knew ADR wasnвЂ™t
going to be up and running
when the system went live
last November but Spears
says he didnвЂ™t think itвЂ™d take
a year.
вЂњThey told us that it would
take a few weeks and then it
would be up and running.
Now the state did say itвЂ™d
take a year but Tyler was
telling us that it wouldnвЂ™t
take that long,вЂќ the clerk
said.
Little and Tom Seckler, a business operations
manager in the countyвЂ™s IT
department, concur, but
believed that with TylerвЂ™s
background and their efforts, a year was just too
long. They were wrong.
вЂњWe were in a Catch-22,вЂќ
Seckler said. вЂњThe state
wouldnвЂ™t let us use practice
data so we could only begin
to test ADR once we went
live. And there were no written specifications on what
they wanted.вЂќ
Seckler said state officials had recommended to
continue running the old
system alongside the new
one for that very reason.
But both Tyler and Peoria
County officials nixed that,
saying it was duplication of
work and they believed the
state would relate.
Little said Tyler did 36
different changes to the program, each time in response
to what the state wanted.
But those changes came
piecemeal and resulted in
weeks of delay. The two
IT men both think Peoria
County is on the cusp of
being certified by the state
to file its dispositions electronically.
And that couldnвЂ™t come
soon enough for Judge Kim
Kelley, who presides over
the DUI courtroom. Twice,
he said, the probation officer assigned to his courtroom found вЂњpages upon
pages of dispositionsвЂќ that
werenвЂ™t recorded with the
Secretary of StateвЂ™s office.
The public safety implications, said Chief Judge Steve
Kouri, were enormous.
вЂњIt means a person could
get arrested and get court
supervision and then get
arrested on the other side
of the river and possibly get
the same thing,вЂќ he said,
referring to the punishment
given to first-time offenders.
вЂњItвЂ™s a public safety risk.вЂќ
Kelley agreed completely
and when he found the last
stack of 50 to 100 cases not
registered with Springfield,
he marched down to SpearsвЂ™
office and told them it was
вЂњunacceptable.вЂќ
вЂњTo their credit, they got it
fixed that day,вЂќ he said.
But that also begs the
larger question of why Odyssey, which is a modern
computer system, is actually making more work for
the clerks and causing them
to fall behind. Kelley, who
admits heвЂ™s not a computer
guru, offered this reason.
вЂњOdyssey isnвЂ™t a computer
program that is based upon
efficiency, itвЂ™s based upon
integration,вЂќ he said.
That contention is backed
up by several deputy clerks
who, over the months, have
grumbled about having to
enter more data, click more
links and note that such actions slow the entire court
system down.
Bret Dixon, the head of
TylerвЂ™s courts and justice division, said in a statement
that вЂњPeoria is a great client,
and Tyler is committed to
helping them optimize their
business processes.вЂќ
According to Dixon, 600
counties in 21 states use the
Odyssey system.
Little believes Odyssey
was and remains the right
choice for Peoria County.
вЂњNo one likes change and
