I am extremely proud to see all of the veterans, who have made sacrifices for this country. |
If they have a license, it makes it easier for us to inspect. So many times we hear about these businesses by word of mouth or read it in the newspaper or else are just driving by and see a new establishment. |
Illinois has what we call a code which sets minimum state standards. It should set a bar that should be achievable everywhere. My concern is are the minimal requirements really minimal for Pike County? At the local level, we need to work with people to come up with suitable private sewage disposal systems within a reasonable cost. It's a matter of reaching a balance. |
It's like a plaster over everything. You can't tell it's logs underneath. |
It's probably one of the oldest log homes in the county. If people have the feeling that you should just move on and forget about these things, then you don't have any history. |
Knowing it's (been) coming for a long time, (we've been selling) baked chips for about a year. We haven't deep fried anything for at least 10 or 12 years ... We went to 1 percent milk probably about that long ago, too. We have a fruit and veggie bar every day. We've added more fiber. |
Maybe we'll do a field evaluation, but on the whole, the soils look very good for the development. |
Our customers down there are seeing their businesses expand and our opportunities are growing in the region. |
Our goal here is to have a dialogue. We're not adding any new rules or making state standards more difficult to attain. We want to create a level playing field and safe food services. |
We are appealing to the public to give the family any information they may have on my son. |
We are just adding a licensing component in the interest of public health. We want them to get licensed before they open. That way we can make sure they have the proper equipment, proper set up and proper training to prepare and serve food safely. |
We have the opportunity now to have some input, to listen to what's happening, offer up some of our concerns and have them addressed before the rules are put in place. This is important information. |
We've taken so many hits. |
