Administrators await guidance ahead of May 29 date, park still has several flooded areas BY J.T. PEDELTY Shaw Media Per order of Gov. J.B. Pritzker, Starved Rock and Matthiessen state parks have been cleared to reopen on Friday, May 29. As to exactly how that will happen or what changes will be in store for the popular parks’ visitors, administrators aren’t quite certain ... but they’re working on it. “I’m waiting for guidance on that myself,” Starved Rock State Park superintendent Alvin Harper said May 21. “So at this time I can’t really go over what our plan is. ... “We’ve been planning for this, but as for the intricacies of actually operating the plan, we haven’t been notified yet of what we can and can’t do. ... That’s kind of what we’re waiting on right now.” To make matters more complicated, areas of the state park are still flooded. Starved Rock has been closed since March due to the ongoing novel coronavirus pandemic. In his daily press conference May 20, however, Pritzker revised part of his plan to reopen certain businesses and parks in a limited capacity. That included all Illinois state parks, provided they follow staffing and safety measures. What, exactly, those measures will be and how they can be implemented is now the top priority as a reopening date has been established.

An entrance sign welcomes visitors to Starved Rock State Park in rural Oglesby, south of Utica. The popular park hosted nearly 2.5 million visitors in 2019. The Illinois Department of Natural Resources (IDNR) is working on those guidelines, noting that while parks, concessions and camping will be opened with precautions in place, “playgrounds, shelters and visitors centers at IDNR sites will remain closed.” “The health and safety of our visitors and staff are our highest priority, ...” IDNR public service administrator Tim Schweizer told Shaw Media. “While site visitors enjoy outdoor recreation opportunities available at our parks, it is important for visitors to take all necessary precautions while visiting state sites. “IDNR asks that all visitors bring with them a face covering in case social distancing cannot be achieved, as well as hand sanitizer containing at least 60% alcohol. And if you’re sick, please stay home.” In a statement released May 21, Starved Rock Lodge and Conference Center president/CEO Amy Trimble said, “While we are excited to see you all, please monitor social and

mainstream media for updates on our upcoming opening. We want to make sure we are following all the rules and regulations for opening to ensure your safe visit to Starved Rock State Park and Starved Rock Lodge.” Trimble had previously stated that she and her staff were hoping for a June 1 reopening. During the closure, the park began the process of getting ready. That included such measures as deep-cleaning the lodge and installing plexiglass barriers in front of the check-in desk and other high-volume customer service areas around the popular vacation/event locale. Meanwhile, park technicians have taken advantage of the rare empty land to restore trails and improve usually crowded areas of the park. As many as 2.8 million people visit Starved Rock State Park annually, with an estimated 544,000 the usual foot traffic between the months of March, April and May to take in the awe-inspiring 18 canyons, 14 waterfalls and 13 miles of wooded trails. Nearby Matthiessen attracts just under 500,000 visitors annually. Adding to the uncertainty as the parks’ reopening approaches is the substantial flooding the area has seen in the past week. Water still covers the lower parking lot at Starved Rock and reached as high as the entrance to the visitors center, meaning even had the park been open this week, significant parts of it would likely have been closed due to flooding. Harper said May 21 there is still roughly 5 feet of water to remove. “I hate to say it, but currently we have a lot of water on the parking lot,” the superintendent said. “Just due to the flooding, we’re going to be limited when we first open.”

Early summer trials likely to be rescheduled even as nonessential cases resume By TOM COLLINS tcollins@shawmedia.com

to continue the case indefinitely. “From a defense attorney’s standpoint, the best way to see if somebody’s lying is to see their faces,” Mueller said. “And you can’t see somebody’s face behind a mask.” That goes for jury selection, too. Ottawa defense attorney Eric Miskell said he needs an unobstructed look at prospective jurors — “Who’s rolling their eyes? Who’s smirking?” — before deciding who can be trusted with his client’s fate. “Jurors don’t want to be there to begin with, even without COVID19,” he said. “Disgruntled jurors are nothing new. We’ve been dealing with that for hundreds of years. But put a mask on a juror? Now they’re really disgruntled. The question is, who would they be mad at? The defense or the state?” A test case will be required to answer those questions, as Miskell said he cannot foresee working around jury trials using electronic media. Although he recently participated in LaSalle County’s first civil proceeding using Zoom — “It actually worked out well” — trying a criminal case off-site poses a slew of
constitutional problems, not least of which is protecting the defendant’s right to face his accuser. Ottawa defense attorney Ryan Hamer said he foresees having different talks with clients out on bond than with those held in LaSalle County Jail. The noncustodial suspects probably will consent to postponement, he allowed, but those in jail might well choose to roll the dice with a jury rather than risk prolonged confinement during the pandemic. “It’s just a whole new world we’re entering into,” Hamer said. “Sooner or later, somebody’s going to have that first jury trial, and I wonder what it’s going to look like as far as seating and bringing witnesses in. It’s going to be interesting.” Interesting for prosecutors, too. Miskell pointed out the courts must set up cumbersome rules and procedures governing lunch and bathroom breaks, to name a few. Unhappy jurors might regard themselves as prisoners of the state and could reward their captors with a notguilty verdict. “Right now, I think it all works in favor of the defense.”

Another few days and you can get your hair cut, hike at a park or eat dinner at a restaurant with outdoor seating. Could you also get called for jury duty? It is possible: Juror summons go out soon for trials set for June. But anyone who dreads being jammed into a jury box next to someone with a bad cough should take a deep breath. Many trials scheduled for early summer are likely to be pushed back indefinitely. One already has. Kenneth Herbst of LaSalle, charged with murder in the death of his infant son, appeared Friday for a status hearing but left without a trial date. Public defender Tim Cappellini said in open court he needs to arrange for an expert to appear and asked for a June 26 status hearing to determine the expert’s availability before setting
trial. Herbst is unlikely to stand trial before Independence Day. And local defense attorneys say that while it’s up to their clients, they’re wary of going to trial until the novel coronavirus pandemic eases. There will be long talks with their clients about when to go to trial and about waiving speedy-trial rights. “Every single one of these jurors is going to be on edge, upset and scared,” said Doug Kramarsic, a LaSalle attorney and assistant LaSalle County public defender. “Having 12 people sitting there worried about catching a virus that can kill them?” he said. “That can play both ways. They could look at a defendant and say to themselves, ‘We’re sitting here because of you.’ Or that could play against a prosecutor as well.” A few defense lawyers already have weighed such considerations and asked for June trials to be reset. Matthew Mueller, a Morris defense attorney, said he had a chance to hold a motions hearing for one of his criminal cases. When the judge ruled witnesses would be required to wear surgical masks, however, Mueller saw no choice but

ILLINOIS VALLEY COMMUNITY COLLEGE
IVCC hopes to launch cannabis production certificate program in fall BY ALI BRABOY Shaw Media OGLESBY — Illinois Valley Community College’s board of education gave its stamp of approval for a cannabis production certificate program it hopes will launch this fall. Following IVCC board approval on May 18, the certificate now heads to the Illinois Community College Board for approval, said Bonnie Campbell, IVCC Associate Vice President for Academic Affairs. She said IVCC is hopeful students will be able to start enrolling in the fall, but there is no guarantee until the ICCB approves the certificate. Four of the courses in the proposed
certificate are already in IVCC’s agronomy program. If the certificate is approved, it would be possible for someone to finish the certificate within two semesters. Completion of the 13-hour certificate would prepare students for an entry level position in the growing cannabis industry, the college’s board book says. Creation of the certificate in cannabis production would allow IVCC to award this certificate to individuals so that they would have necessary skills to obtain employment at local cannabis related companies. Representatives of these companies
have expressed a need for individuals with basic knowledge of the cannabis plant, the production and processing practices of its numerous uses, as well as the cannabis industry itself. Kathryn Lillie and Willard Mott, agriculture program co-coordinators, and Ron Groleau, dean of natural sciences and business, have been working closely with local employers in the cannabis growing industry to create a short-term certificate option in agriculture. There has come a rise in the number of jobs in these areas, following the legalization of medical marijuana in Illinois in 2013, the passage of 2014 and 2018 farm bills and their allowance of industrial hemp pro-
duction and the legalization of recreational marijuana in Illinois in 2020. Other key areas of study in the certificate include: soil fertility, pest management and employability skills. The certificate is not terminal, and students can continue in the agriculture program and complete an associate of Applied Science degree in Agronomy. The certificate would include the following five courses: Introduction to cannabis production; Crop pest management; Soil fertility and fertilizers; Agriculture internship; Agriculture internship seminar. — News editor Derek Barichello contributed to this report.
tee and local health officials released a statement that, after a vote, they decided to cancel the event “in the best interests of community health and safety.” The release also noted that due to large crowds, the committee believes it would be unsafe to hold the event during the coronavirus pandemic. There
are no plans to reschedule the event later this year. Many other local communities also are grappling with the issue whether to cancel summer events. Spring Valley Mayor Walt Marini said at the city council’s last meeting that officials in his city contemplated doing fireworks because
of Hennepin’s anticipated cancellation. They went as far as to float the idea by Hall High School board to potentially use the football field for a fireworks ceremony, but in the end decided for the safety of residents not to go forward with the idea. — By Kim Shute, Shaw Media

geted credit hours and revenues, and I remain optimistic our early assumptions for fiscal 2021 credit hours should remain unchanged. “Community colleges have an excellent reputation for preparing students to enter the workforce or move on to a university. Although I love my alma mater in Champaign, the credit-hour cost-difference between online instruction at IVCC versus the U of I, ISU or NIU is seismic,” he said. “Students and parents should be wary of the possibility of starting at a four-year institution in the fall, only to be told to stay home and learn online for the full cost of tuition.” Corcoran further noted, despite staggering unemployment rates, “This is a time community colleges excel in workforce training. We experienced record enrollments following the 2007-08 recession, and I believe we have the opportunity to turn a negative into a positive again.” In other action, the board approved the hiring of economics instructor Rick Pretzsch, formerly associate professor of economics at Temple
College in Temple, Texas. He earned bachelor’s and master’s degrees in economics from Roosevelt University in Chicago and a law degree from John Marshall Law School. Trustees also approved the hiring of electronics and electricity instructor Charles Raimondi to fill the vacancy created by the retirement of Jim Gibson. Raimondi taught electronics and industrial automation at Kishwaukee College and earned his master’s in manufacturing engineering from Western Illinois University.
The board also approved:
• Revisions to seven policies involving employment at-will, discipline, classification of employees, cannabis, medical leave/termination, certification of health, and drug-free work campus. • A three-year lease extension with the city of Ottawa for use of the Ottawa Center at 321 W. Main St. for $115,000 a year. Ottawa Center offers general education courses, the CNA program, enrollment services, Adult Education and Continuing Education courses and Transfer Academy classes for high school upperclassmen.
Board members also learned:
• The college website will be hosted by OmniUpdate, the platform the new site was built on. The move will reduce the likelihood of the site being down due to a power outage or data breach. • In his report, Corcoran began by thanking 2019-20 student trustee Matthew Klein for producing the May 16 virtual commencement. “When it became apparent we needed a back-up plan for our traditional commencement, it was comforting to know Matthew was ready to step up and work closely with Aseret Loveland, Crystal Credi, Mark Grzybowski and Quintin Overocker to create something that made everyone proud. (The event can be viewed at www.ivcc.edu.) • IVCC nursing faculty and staff produced a “heartfelt” YouTube video tribute to this year’s nursing graduates, Corcoran said. (That video is also available at the website.) • Corcoran closed by crediting IT staff for working “awfully hard behind the scenes the past few weeks” on critically important server issues.

OGLESBY — Students and employees of Illinois Valley Community College won praise from IVCC President Jerry Corcoran for weathering two major disruptions. Corcoran, speaking at the May 18 IVCC Board of Trustees meeting, spoke of the impact of the coronavirus pandemic and an April 24 cyber-attack on the college’s computer system. “I’m happy with the way the college’s faculty, staff and students have handled probably one of the most trying times in IVCC’s history beginning with the coronavirus — which led to Gov. Pritzker closing campuses and moving instruction online — followed by a cyber-attack on our servers. Faculty and staff did everything they could to serve students in new and different ways.” Following closed session, the board approved a master services agreement with Rehmann Technology Solutions, the firm helping IVCC restore its servers. Despite the interruptions, Corcoran is confident enrollments will stabilize. “Prior to these developments, we were on track to meet midterm bud-

Honoring the seniors of 2020
McLaughlin and Brizgis recognized
University of Illinois recognizes area 4-H’ers The University of Illinois Extension Bureau, LaSalle and Marshall-Putnam 4-H honor the seniors of 2020. Kassidy Brady is a member of the Dimmick Braves in LaSalle County. Her favorite project is showing her Black Angus cattle. When asked “what did you learn from 4-H?” Brady said, “4-H has taught me how to be a leader, how to be a confident public speaker, and how to always persevere and never quit.” Brady’s favorite memory from 4-H is when she was 11 years old and received reserved grand champion with her heifer Candy. Her advice to younger 4-H’ers is: “I would tell any 4-H’er to never let the fear of failing hold you back. It can be scary to try new things, but stepping out of your comfort zone will only help to make you a better leader.” Brady plans to be attend the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign to major in chemistry.

Each year, members of the Lostant Grade School faculty and staff are recognized for outstanding contributions to education through the LaSalle Marshall Putnam ROE 35 Excellence in Education Awards program.

Thank you, Mrs. Rich!”
