Kane County Animal Control seeks to expand mission

GENEVA Most of the duties performed by Kane County Animal Control dont attract the level of media attention it got this month when Administrator Robert Sauceda led the efforts to move nearly 100 animals from an impounded petting zoo.

The event spurred an outpouring of support that included dozens of volunteers and donations of various supplies, resources and money.

Kane County Board member T.R. Smith, R-Maple Park, said last week he liked that Animal Control set the precedent that it will help all animals and not just cats and dogs, like it had in the past.

This, he said, has really shown the public what we can do.

Sauceda agreed that the situation with the petting zoo animals demonstrated what his department is capable of and what its goal and mission is going forward.

This was a turning point for us, Sauceda said.

Since joining Animal Control last year he started as billing manager before the County Board named him interim administrator in November Sauceda has maintained the departments main role of preventing rabies while finding more ways to involve the community with his agency and better promote what it does.

People think were just animal control, he said.

Sauceda said he is seeking County Board approval to change the departments name to Kane County Animal Care and Control to better reflect its responsibilities, which include running a shelter for animals up for adoption.

Cats and dogs are mainstays at the shelter, but Animal Control also gets other species, including goats, bunnies, snakes and turtles, Sauceda said. In February, he said, police notified Animal Control of a potbellied pig that was dropped off at a meat packing plant. She was rescued last week by a farm in southern Illinois, Sauceda said.

Media: Old players may continue to rule but content will be king

Newspapers, radio and television will be there, but they'll be different and the companies that have long delivered their content might be gone. The Australian media a couple of years from now will be even more focused on fulfilling people's desires for content any time, anywhere.

Excluding live sports, the trend for on-demand content will intensify. But there will be a consumer impost, whether it's privacy, subscriptions or one-off costs, or inescapable ads.

Media ownership laws might be changed, leading to mergers and takeovers involving big old companies such as Nine and Fairfax.

And as the splash surrounding this week's announcement demonstrates - Rupert Murdoch has promoted his sons Lachlan and James; Lachlan is now viewed as the likely successor - News Corp will continue to be a big player.

Foreign companies Google and Facebook might need to pay more tax. And depending on political will and the strength of private media businesses, the ABC might be more influential.

Former competition tsar Graeme Samuel said the internet had made content king and ''he who has control of the king can demand subscriptions and dollars''.

In a sign of where Lachlan Murdoch sees the future, he has been talking more like a Silicon Valley technology entrepeneur than an old-fashioned print baron. On being promoted to co-chairman this week, he boasted that News Corp had ''the energy and sensibility of a start-up''.

But that future is also under the microscope, as it often is, under a still-new government. After a fractious relationship with former communications minister Stephen Conroy, media companies are heartened that his successor, Malcolm Turnbull, has made positive noises about relaxing Australia's media laws.
