Veto Message for HB 227:

To the Honorable Members of The Illinois House of Representatives, 99th General Assembly:

Today I veto House Bill 227 from the 99th General Assembly.

Current law requires a person using a non-powered watercraft to obtain a water usage stamp from the Department of Natural Resources, which is available for $6 per year. This bill would exempt "a non-resident operating a non-powered watercraft while engaged in a paddling event or race."

Tourism is an important economic driver for Illinois, and I appreciate non-residents who come to Illinois to enjoy sporting events. The Department of Natural Resources has committed to working with event organizers to ensure that the organizers are able to sell stamps to participants on the day of the race.

While we work to make compliance more convenient and efficient, I do not support exempting one particular group of non-residents, particularly when Illinois residents are not being exempted.

Therefore, pursuant to Section 9(b) of Article IV of the Illinois Constitution of 1970, I hereby return House Bill 227, entitled "AN ACT concerning transportation", with the foregoing objections, vetoed in its entirety.

Sincerely,

Bruce Rauner

GOVERNOR

Hilltop Campus Village welcomes Cornerstone Family Dentistry

By Scott Tunnicliff
August 7, 2015 - This morning is the first day of business for Cornerstone Family Dentistry, at 1304 Brady Street, in the heart of the Hilltop Campus Village.

Dr. Melinda Hochgesang, DMD, said that they will be open every Friday until mid-September, at which point they'll be open full-time. Dr. Hochgesang is a general practitioner of Dentistry, with a specialization for small children and for babies.

The building has been undergoing renovation for sometime, and has a nice open feel. It was formerly owned and occupied by Davenport Dentures, Ltd., whose owner recently retired.

The facility offers ample parking and is conveniently located adjacent to Red Band Coffee, across the street from St. John's Methodist Church and Townsquare Media.

"This is a great addition for the Hilltop Campus Village, one that will be appreciated by the many residents living in these growing commercial corridors", said Scott Tunnicliff, Drector of the Hilltop Campus Village. "We have been in touch with the new owners for a couple months, providing some counsel on matters of Signage and the availability of financial resources for façade improvement through the Hilltop Association's Self-Sustaining Municipal Improvement District (SSMID).

"Our specialty with kids and babies is going to be of real interest to folks in the Quad Cities", said Dr. Hochgesang. "We anticipate a lot of customers because of that and due to our high visibility. This is a great location for us, and we anticipate becoming a meaningful partner within the Hilltop community."

More information may be gathered by contacting Scott Tunnicliff at 563 370 2098. For appointments, contact Cornerstone Family Dentistry, 563 - 231 - 5990, MindyHochgesang@gmail.com.

BUMPER CARS JOIN MODERN WOODMEN PARK AMUSEMENTS

By Marco LaNave
Spin Zone Bumper Cars from Amusement Products will be added to the K&K Hardware Kids Zone
DAVENPORT, Iowa (August 7, 2015) - Already home to award-winning improvements and amusements rides, Modern Woodmen Park will give its guests another unique thrill, as the Spin Zone Bumper Cars had their ribbon cutting Friday at the ballpark. A set of five cars have been installed in the K&K Hardware Kids Zone adjacent to the Party Plaza down the first-base line at Modern Woodmen Park.
The bumper cars add to a fun-packed lineup of amusements that includes the Ferris wheel atop the berm in left field, the Mediacom Drop'N Twist and Space Camp in the Party Plaza, as well as the dual zip line that operates on South Gaines Street outside the ballpark on game days.
Each of the Spin Zone Bumper Cars from Amusement Products seat one driver, who controls the car with a lever on each side of the car. The drivers can bump their cars into one another, and for added excitement, if a driver hits another car on one of its Spin Zone Targets, that car will be sent into three 360-degree revolutions while it flashes LED lights - showing other drivers the car has been hit. The ride operator can also add to the fun with Chaos Mode that sends all cars into similar spins.
"Every kid loves bumper cars, so the Spin Zone Bumper Cars make a great addition to the Modern Woodmen Park amusements lineup," said River Bandits owner Dave Heller. "Now, for the first time at any ballpark, our fans can create their own amusement experience - by driving the Spin Zone Bumper Cars, sending other cars into crazy spins, and delighting riders and viewers with a light show and unpredictable - and unforgettable - fun!"
The amusements are open during all River Bandits home games, normally beginning 60 minutes before the scheduled first pitch. The Ferris wheel is also open every Saturday - weather permitting - from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., as well as Saturday non-game days 7 p.m. to 10 p.m.
The Spin Zone Bumper Cars will cost five tickets. Fans can purchase tickets for $1 each or buy 25 tickets for $20

Rock Falls Soldier recognized as Transportation Corps Noncommissioned Officer of the Year

By Illinois National Guard Public Affairs Office

CHICAGO (08/07/2015)(readMedia)-- Sgt. 1st Class Kyle Hacker of Rock Falls, Illinois, was recognized as the 2014 Transportation Corps Reserve Component Noncommissioned Officer (NCO) of the Year July 31 at the Transportation School at Fort Lee, Virginia.

Hacker was recognized for his distinguished service, significant contributions and performance in support of the U.S. Army Transportation Corps.

He has worked in the Transportation Corps for 15 years and now serves as the readiness NCO for the Illinois National Guard's 1644th Transportation Company, based in Rock Falls, Illinois.

Hacker said he believes the award is representative of his entire career not only form his efforts, but also from leaders and Soldiers he has worked with over the years.

"This accomplishment is not just what I did," said Hacker. "It a culmination of the commissioned and noncommissioned leaders I've served under, the Soldiers I've lead and worked with down to my first squad leader, who showed me what being an transportation NCO meant. This award represents who I am because of good leadership and Soldiers."

Hacker said he plans to continue his military career and hopes to keep advancing.

"As an active guard reserve Soldier, I plan to stay in transportation," said Hacker. "My ultimate goal is to move up to battalion as an operations NCO."

Hacker was nominated by his commanders, who submit a packet detailing his distinguished service, significant contributions and performance in support of the U.S. Army Transportation Corps.

Capt. Linden Allen of Ann Arbor, Michigan, commander of the 1644th Trans. Co. said Hacker is a highly dedicated NCO.

"Hacker sets the standard for the Illinois National Guard and the Army as a whole," said Allen.

Maj. Shaun Nokes, of Quincy, Illinois, the executive officer with the 1144th Transportation Battalion based in Delavan, Illinois, said during the last four years the reserve component officers or NCOs of the year who have been recognized have come from the ranks and subordinate units of the 1144th.

"The Illinois National Guard Transportation Corps is filled with some of the best of the best in the field," said Nokes. "It's these distinguished leaders who will continue to train and guide our future generations of transportation Soldiers out there on the roads spearheading logistics."
