Despite the ruling, Local 231 President Victor Bermudez remains suspended without pay in connection to a second, unrelated disciplinary case from last year.
Bermudez has continued, while suspended, leading protests and legal action against the county over its plan to close the county jail here and lay off most officers.
State Office of Administrative Law Judge Elaine Frick issued her decision in the campaign ad case against Bermudez on Jan. 21. The Civil Service Commission reviewed her ruling and voted to adopt her findings last month.
Frick dismissed some charges against Bermudez but sustained four charges. She imposed a 180-day suspension without pay, saying firing was too harsh, and ordered him reinstated. He also has rights to three to four months of back pay.

In 1952, new neighbours moved to Hill Street, bringing with them a touch of big city glamour. The Johnsons had not been drawn to the county because of its beaches a wineries, but instead for reasons of employment. Major reconstruction was taking place at the Picton water purification plant and Stan Johnson, a young Toronto engineer, had been hired to oversee the project. Preferring not to rent accommodations while in Picton, he and his wife, Doreen (Doe), bought a vacant waterfront lot from my father for $200. then had a pre-fabricated cottage placed on it. Almost overnight, we had next-door neighbours.

If the name Jerry Milam means anything to you, it s probably because you know something about the Golden Voice Recording Studio he and his wife founded in South Pekin. That s where bands like REO Speedwagon, Styx, and Head East recorded some of their biggest albums.
But that s an entirely different story.
Instead, let s go back to the early 1960s, when Jerry Milam was just a young kid from Pekin. He d picked up some work in his teens as a photographer, putting his skills to use at the Pekin Daily Times and in some local commercial studios.
Butch s poem about his days at school
By Butch Dale • •
Note: This is the poem that I read at the Darlington Alumni banquet for our 50th class reunion . . .
Good Ol School Days
My parents let me off at the schoolhouse door;
Marian Couger welcomed me to Darlington School,
Then assigned me a seat and laid down the rules. I ve heard about you from some of my friends,
Your bad behavior will come to an end.
You will work very hard and stay out of trouble,
Or to the principal you will march . . . on the double.
Well, I learned how to count, and I learned how to write,
