  Speaker 1: both with us to give us the update today here
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: at a I'm fourteen sixteen FM ninety five one, and
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: we're going to kick off with a story that shar
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: you and I talked about last week that was kind
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: of a very interesting development in the Sterling Rock Falls
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: area that we are going to cover this morning.
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: You want to start with the Sterling protests, yes, okay,
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: And so Brandon was at the protest yesterday, and this
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: comes on the heels.
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: A couple of weeks ago, there was.
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: Also a protest on the Rock Falls Bridge in which
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: we had people. There are people that came out. I
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: think there's about thirty five of them that were showing support,
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: solidarity for the Hispanic community that we have in the
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: Sock Valley area, just basically saying, hey that with the
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: immigration policies that are happening, it could be happening now.
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: The one that we're dealt with though last night had
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: a different had a different reason.
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: What was that about?
• 1:24
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that was actually so. It was about a crowd
• 1:26
  Speaker 4: of over two hundred and fifty people organized by a
• 1:30
  Speaker 4: couple of members of the Democrat Party of Whiteside County
• 1:36
  Speaker 4: that are part of a another group called Action for
• 1:40
  Speaker 4: a Better Tomorrow, and basically, you know, asking everyone in
• 1:44
  Speaker 4: the crowd, they were protesting the Trump administration and his
• 1:47
  Speaker 4: head of Department of Government Efficiency, Elon Musk. Pretty much
• 1:50
  Speaker 4: in its entirety, a lot of what I was hearing
• 1:54
  Speaker 4: during that protest was fear for social security cuts again
• 2:00
  Speaker 4: on immigration with you know, our Sterling's large Hispanic community.
• 2:04
  Speaker 4: They you know a lot of those those residents have
• 2:08
  Speaker 4: family members that you know, might be migrant, and so
• 2:12
  Speaker 4: they're kind of worried for how that's going to play out.
• 2:15
  Speaker 4: Members of the LBGTQ community were there for fear of,
• 2:18
  Speaker 4: you know, how their rights might possibly you know, fear
• 2:22
  Speaker 4: that those could come under attack, and just a lot
• 2:25
  Speaker 4: of usherings of fear of undermining the democratic framework.
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: Altogether interesting that we get this off of these protests,
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: kind of an expansion on what was when we talked
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: about last week's.
• 2:40
  Speaker 4: So what I was told when speaking with a member
• 2:44
  Speaker 4: of the Democratic Party whits County was that this is
• 2:46
  Speaker 4: going to be the first of several protests that they
• 2:49
  Speaker 4: are going to be holding throughout the year. I got
• 2:52
  Speaker 4: to confirm it. I think there's going to be another
• 2:53
  Speaker 4: one as soon as next month, and I was told
• 2:55
  Speaker 4: this one was probably the smallest of of what they
• 2:59
  Speaker 4: hope to have even more people attend, all.
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: Right, So so look for that to kind of develop
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: into a kind of a continuing SAKA.
• 3:07
  Speaker 4: Then, Yeah, that's that's what it sounds like. So as
• 3:11
  Speaker 4: these continue, we'll be there to cover it and I'll
• 3:13
  Speaker 4: be working on getting that story out today.
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: They're good, right, So yeah, very interesting. Now you and
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: I talked about it last week and it was just
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: kind of developing off of what we saw the bridge
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: right between Stirling and Rock Falls last week.
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: Ye, the grassroots of it, I mean, that's the interesting part.
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: And I think once you start seeing like a protest,
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: we haven't covered I haven't covered very many of them
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: in my time in news, just because of probably our
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: community where I came from.
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: But the organization.
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: Once you have that organization in place, then the thought
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: becomes will they become bigger?
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: And are they organized quicker?
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: Right now, everything seems to change day by day, so
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: that something we really need to keep an eye on.
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: And the issues continue to grow. The change, it's just
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: the issues are growing, you know, concerning this. And so, yeah,
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: very good news coverage from our Shaw local News. Brandon
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: Clark on the on the job with that one here
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: at AM fourteen sixteen FM ninety five one. Yeah, something
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: that we missed last week's show that we wanted to
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: catch people up on and that was.
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: The cow Yeah, and that did happen like Tuesday night,
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: and we were here Wednesday, and so it was kind
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: of like, I know something's happened, but I don't know
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: what's happened, And what that turned out to be was
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: that there were resignations from that particular township board and
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: it was pretty lined up as soon as as those
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: resignations were accepted that night by the two remaining members
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: of the board. They then added on a supervisor and
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: another trustee because one had resigned, they did have a
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: trustee opening before that they filled that, and I believe
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: the other one was a clerk position. So now they
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: they have filled their board back out. I think the
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: question really then becomes what why it's awfully hard to
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: get outside of like a resignation letter, why people are leaving?
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: And then also, you know the people who did resign
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: work there that night. Yeah, very interesting and the people
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: from what I understand, the people who resigned are not
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: on the ballot at the upcoming election either. Okay, just
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: I've never I've never seen that before either that where
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: you have just they but they had.
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: Done their homework.
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: The two remaining ones and the ones who were remaining
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: in township positions did contact the state state organization about
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: how do we proceed lawfully and legally to move forward
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: with this, because you know, you really have to dot
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: all your eyes and crush your teeth from that, and
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: you're talking about taxpayer money that comes in, and so
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: you know that's that's another thing you want to make
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: sure that you do that very cleanly.
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: Setting it back up.
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: And it sounds what you're telling me, though, Charlene, is
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: that you know we're not It wasn't any kind of
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: an issue circumstance those surrounding it was more like the
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: timing of this.
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: It sounds like there's a couple things.
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: I mean, whenever you see that many people leave or
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: to make your ears perk up. So is it dissension
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: you know, I don't know that or is there an issue?
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: And sometimes these worries, it remains to be seen what
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: is the issue, and so you don't want to speak
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: prematurely to that. You can look at like maybe some
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: Facebook back and forth or look at a resignation on
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: the letter and say, oh, that's an that's an interesting
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: way to phrase that.
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: Why is it phrase that way? So yeah, there could
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: be more to come on that.
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: Okay, all right, we'll keep an eye on it. Yeah,
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: the Colomba situation, Colomba township situation, but right now they
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: are that's why y yes, Okaya strength good. So again
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: that again story through Shaw Local News and or we're
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: covering the basis for you here at w ACCENT. You
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: got some Dixon information for us this morning.
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: Suran, Oh I do about the Dixon. Actually yeah.
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: In today's paper we have a really good column written
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: by Darren Mangler, who's the executive director of the Dixon.
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: He wrote extensively about the reopening after all the renovations
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: that they've done. Is supposed to open again March two,
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: which is Sunday, Spamilton. That's their first presentation. And then
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: he does outline the upcoming season and which has a
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: lot more shows this year. He also talks about how
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: businesses can become sponsors. So yeah, I think it's gonna
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: be an exciting season there. We had a photographer who
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: was there and took photos, and I know that Tom Wadsworth,
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: our historical writer, is working on a historical column about
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: it too, which I love because it almost becomes a
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: textbook of your community. When you can have somebody of
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: his quality of writing and research, those stories preserve forever.
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: How did how did we even get this? Where did
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: this come from Reagan history? How Reagan is.
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: So tied to that that particular facility. So check check
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: out that column today and then that column. By that,
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: I mean Darren Mangler's entertainment column, and then Tom Wadsworth's
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: column should be in Friday. It runs every other Friday.
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: I'm expecting his first draft slash, you know, addition to me,
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: and we're obviously to take much work, so I don't
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: want to make it sound like it's a draft.
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: And we're always looking at the opening of the you know,
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: newly revamped.
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: And newly revamped, beautiful color inside, but a lot of
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: safety issues that they said they took care of, so
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: I think while the ideas they would have liked to
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: do a little bit more of that you can see
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: this which I think they did a lot of. There's
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: also safety issues that they took care of.
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: So best theater in the news again with our friends
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: from Shawn Local News. Elections, you know, we've got the
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: consolidated elections coming up we do locally, will be on
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: April the first, yep. But as we talked about off there,
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: some have already been you know, I saw you know
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: elections held last evening.
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah, primaries, Yeah, there were some newspapers in our company
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: that were covering primary elections. We did not have any
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: in Lee and Whiteside, so then they were busy putting
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: all of their stories together and we're kind of like, hey,
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: we'll just wait for those primaries to be over. Not
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: is to confuse the voter, and then now we'll start
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: with our coverage. And some of that comes from work
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: that we're doing internally where we're writing stories about say,
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: we've got Sterling candidate and the Dixon candidate forums that
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: will be coming up. The nice stories about that will
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: actually cover those events as well. The one that they're
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: having through Dixon has not just city council candidates, but
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: it goes very deep into township boards and different All
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: of those school board has an election. And then we
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: also have questionnaires that we've sent out to all of
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: the candidates. Some have returned, like any election, some come back,
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: some don't. We will be turning them into stories issued
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: to issue, or we may be also running those candidate
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: questionnaires on their own. But everybody who has submitted for
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: that race will be published the same day, because that's fair,
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: you publish them together near each other. So we're moving
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: ahead and coverage. That election, of course is April one,
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: and we have the public safety tax. I'm seeing more
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: Facebook activity on that, predominantly sharing from your public service
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: agencies that are saying, this is what this tax means.
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: So further expll and that back on the ballot again,
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: back to the ballot right for Whiteside County, and you
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: mentioned the forums coming up, and it really I mean
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: as far as city council, I I'm hearing that there's
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: not a lot of you know.
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: In Dixon there isn't you have incumbents that are running
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: their positions, seit for seat. But when you look over
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: at Rock Falls in particular, Brandon can speak better to Sterling,
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: but in Rock Falls there are some contested elections there.
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: The one that comes to mind right away is Brian
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: Snow and Marshall Doan though that one seems to be
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: kind of heating up there. Of course, don't have served
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: done the council before, and he's coming back.
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: Part that was because of a move that he left before.
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: From what I understand, we thought there'd be a mayor
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: a mayoral race there hard word to say, but that
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: didn't happen because mister Westcott was going to and then
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: did not submit papers. So but in Sterling you have
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: quite a few candidates. What are your contestants over there,
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: do you know?
• 10:42
  Speaker 4: Oh, you know, I didn't have that.
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so we will be taking a closer look at
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: those races as well.
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: So okay, so again, uh, following the election process already
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: primary ship. I thought that was interesting that that you
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: don't have to actually all be on the same page
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: in the same date as far as your primary elections
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: are concerned a lot, you know, Rockford, you mentioned Juliette,
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: you know, so some of those areas already have voted,
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: you know for their voted in their prime primaries.
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: So then you will have more you'll exactly, you have
• 11:15
  Speaker 3: your election on the first.
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: There exactly, there he goes. Then then it did trips
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: back to that April first, consolidate election date. Some criminal cases,
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: Charlaine n you wanted to update this.
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it has been a heavy week for courts.
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: If you've had a chance to look at our online
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: edition or at our print edition. Of course, we had
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: the case last week, call it the Sosa case, in
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: which there was a young woman, Jaden Hill, who she
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: was actually killed in the apartment that they shared last
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: year in October, and he pleaded guilty yesterday that he
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: that's a very quick case. Boyfriend that morning had walked
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: we were talking about that had walked from ash into
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: Rochelle eleven Miles to turn himself in and basically say,
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: I he confessed to doing that and so, but then
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: again you have your court process and it plays out.
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: Usually a murder case does not resolve itself this quickly.
• 12:10
  Speaker 3: Usually it moves forward to.
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: Trial because if you're charged with first agree murder, what
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: do you have to lose if you, you know, go
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: to court. In this case, he came forward on Friday,
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: I'm sorry Monday. At first it was scheduled, sounded like
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: something was gonna happen Friday, but it actually happened Monday,
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: where he came forward and pleaded guilty. I think his
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: attorney had kind of wanted more time for this develop
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: those were the words that he used. I'm not putting
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: words in his mouth there, and had wanted him to
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: have an evaluation and other things, but his client basically said,
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: I want to.
• 12:38
  Speaker 3: Plead guilty today.
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: The mother of the victim, Jayden Hill's mother was there
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: and she basically said to David Sosa, I forgive you
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: for what this was about. Of course, we have to
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: speak to the fact that they were a very young
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: couple at the time this happened, which also affected, you know,
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: sentencing length. He got forty years in prison for that
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: state prison, and she took to him straight up that
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: she forgave him for it. Of course, her daughter was
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: just sixteen at the time that she died, and he
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: was just he was seventeen, about ready to turn eighteen
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: when this happened about a month later, and so he
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: was charged as an adult. But there's still some sentencing,
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: some protections there because you're not twenty one.
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: Updates on the rock Fall situation.
• 13:20
  Speaker 3: Rock Fall situation, Okay, that case.
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: I know we have a lot of people who are
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: following it obviously because we have a victim and then
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: the accused that are both from Rock Falls. The person
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: who is accused of that, Kyle Cooper right now, he's
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: in the Whiteside County jail.
• 13:36
  Speaker 3: He was.
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: The actual incident that happened was on February fourteenth in
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: the early morning hours and Kyle Cooper was taken into
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: custody that morning and charged with aggravated battery. That was
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: a Friday, and then over the weekend Monday was a
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: holiday so then on Tuesday there was a filing made
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: that those charges were upgraded. One more aggravated battery that
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: was added as well as the murder charge. And then
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: there was a detention hearing on the twenty first, that
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: was on Friday. I was at that detention hearing where
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: they laid out the case and said this is why
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: he should be detained. The victim, of course, Daniel Gordon.
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: And what was outlined there was that there was this
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: is according to the prosecutor, that a girlfriend, a former
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: girlfriend of the defendant and the defendant got into a
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: fight and that mister Gordon was attempting to break that
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: shoving match up and that's when he was stabbed. Now
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: we're getting a little bit of pushback because of the brutality,
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: but you know, in our stories, you know what is
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: is what is it is, And the prosecutor addressed that
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: a couple times about the brutality of that particular case.
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: The next court hearing is March three, that'll be your
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: preliminary hearing. And I know that the attorney for the
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: defendant is Jim Murtis from Sterling. He was subpoenaing a
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: lot of businesses the other day for their surveillance camera
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: footage from the night of that. All of them liquor
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: establishments or places where you could purchase liquor. So I'm
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: not sure what that's all about, but places names that
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: you will recognize that will be brought up.
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: An interesting I guess. Contrast in cases sure just pointed
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: out here, very interesting contrasted cases. The one into rock
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: falls about especially these two, the one that rapidly moved
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: through the system and now the one that you know
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: is kind of playing out as you just mentioned.
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: Right cases, all cases I say, had their own different
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: personality based on motive and how the people knew each
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: other that were involved, or were the stories behind it,
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: Who were the people involved before this happened? How did
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: we get to this point also becomes kind of interesting.
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: And then whenever you look take a look at the
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: Safety Act, which was new to me when I started here,
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: about how people are held entertained and heard in court,
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: that continues to be an issue that comes up to
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: our constitutional rights being kept in check based on the
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: Safety Act. So I want to do a deeper story
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: on that, okay, because there's just different scenarios.
• 15:59
  Speaker 3: It can affect how work cases moved through obviously, and
• 16:02
  Speaker 3: then the Sibils, Yeah, obviously the same.
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: And you know what, the you know, the the repercussions
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: of what we have you know, sent through the Estate
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: of Illinois is being felt here locally, and that's interesting. Yeah,
