River Trail earns national recognition Trail and greenway protects land along more than 75% of the river in Lake County
The scenic Des Plaines River Trail and Greenway (DPRT) in Lake County has been designated as a National Recreation Trail. The U.S. Secretary of the Interior David L. Bernhardt recently added 30 new recreational trails in 25 states to the National Trails System. The National Recreation Trails program is jointly administered by the National Park Service and the U.S. Forest Service, in conjunction with a number of federal and nonprofit partners. It recognizes exemplary existing trails that connect people to federal, state and local resources and improve their quality of life. The National Trails System includes 1,300 designated national scenic trails, national historic trails and national recreational trails spanning 3,000 miles. It promotes the enjoyment and appreciation of trails while encouraging greater public access to America’s public lands for outdoor recreation. “Your trail is a great addition to the network of trails that make up the National Recreation Trails, and we commend your efforts to provide high-quality recreation opportunities for your community,” said Peter Bonsall, National Trails Program specialist, about the DPRT. “We are honored to receive this prestigious national designation,” said Angelo Kyle, president of the Lake County Forest Preserves. “The DPRT is a recreational treasure in Lake County and one of the crown jewels of the forest preserve system. Acquiring the land and building a continuous 31.4-mile trail along the Des Plaines River’s edge took 57 years and 133 separate land purchases to achieve. Being added to the National Trails System is a significant achievement of this work.” The crushed stone DPRT winds through 12 forest preserves, eight municipalities
and connects to several neighboring trails, residential areas, parks, schools and business districts. It is open for hiking, biking, cross-country skiing, horseback riding, and snowmobiling (between Russell Road and Wadsworth Road only). The trail runs nearly the entire length of Lake County from Russell Road in Wadsworth south to Lake Cook Road where it connects to the Cook County Forest Preserve trail system. The DPRT is an ideal destination for expanded outdoor adventures and relaxation in nature. “The trail allows us to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life to a place where the main sounds we hear are the chirping of birds and the crunching of leaves beneath our feet. Studies show spending time outdoors in nature results in reduced stress, clearer thought patterns, more optimism, and an improved overall sense of well-being,” Kyle said. “The trail and greenway protects land along more than 75% of the river in Lake County, providing wildlife habitat, natural flood protection and outdoor recreation opportunities,” said Mike Tully, chief operations officer at the Lake County Forest Preserves. The trail isn’t the only way to explore this river valley. The river itself offers an entirely different set of views and experiences, best explored by canoe. “There aresix launch sites along the river where you can drop in a canoe or kayak,” said Tully. All launch areas provide river access, shoreline fishing and parking. “We are proud to receive this designation,” said Alex Ty Kovach, executive director of the Lake County COURTESY LAKE COUNTY FOREST PRESERVES Hi-Liter Forest Preserves. “Each trail that receives this honor must support a diversity of users, Acquiring the land and building a continuous 31.4 mile trail along the Des Plaines River’s edge took 57 years and 133 separate land purchases to achieve.

State gambling revenues plummet during pandemic Casino revenues off 30 percent from last fiscal year; lottery sales down 5.8 percent
By Peter Hancock CAPITOL NEWS ILLINOIS
Revenues flowing into state coffers from legalized gambling operations plummeted during the fiscal year that ended June 30 as casinos, racetracks and other video gambling venues were forced to close during the COVID-19 pandemic. Many people also slowed down on buying lottery tickets, according to a new report by the Commission on Government Forecasting and Accountability, or CoGFA, which said total state tax revenues generated through legalized gambling fell 13.4 percent, or about $200
million, compared to the previous fiscal year. “This decline is in large part due to the suspension of video gaming and casino operations between March 16 and June 30, which thereby prevented any revenues from being generated from these sources during this time period,” the report stated. “Although this suspension has been since lifted, gaming has only returned on a limited basis and it remains unclear how long these limitations will last. Even with the resumption of wagering, it is expected that the ramifications of the pandemic on public confidence will per-
Slices of life
the last several years as video gambling, which the state legalized in 2009, has taken over a larger share of the gambling market. As of June 30, more than 36,000 video gambling terminals were in operation in Illinois, the equivalent of 30 full-size casinos. Since 2012, according to the report, adjusted gross receipts for all casinos in the state have fallen 42.5 percent, or nearly $700 million, while the combined total of casino and video gambling revenues has grown 32 percent. Revenues from sports gambling, which was legalized in 2019 legislation, were virtually nonexistent for fiscal year 2020, according to the report, as the NCAA basketball tournament was canceled and the NBA playoffs and Major League Baseball season were delayed. “Because of this, very little tax revenues ($12,224 to be exact) were reported to be reout.

sist for some time.” The report noted that casinos suffered the biggest declines, with adjusted gross receipts falling by 30 percent, or more than $400 million, compared to the previous year. That included a $119 million drop in receipts at the state’s largest casino, Rivers Casino in Des Plaines, but all other casinos reported significant declines as well. The Illinois Gaming Board allowed casinos to reopen on July 1 with capacity limits, social distancing requirements and other public health measures intended to slow the
spread of the virus. Since then, however, the state has reimposed mitigation measures in the Metro East region outside St. Louis and, most recently, in northwest Illinois where the COVID-19 testing positivity rates have continued to exceed state limits. In those regions, food and beverage service at casinos and video gambling locations has been suspended and gambling operations have been limited to the hours of 8 a.m. to 11 p.m. daily. The report also noted that casinos in Illinois have been on a long downward trend for

Some of this can be chalked up to my heritage. I come from people who lived months in a frozen climate. This may have led to intimate cuddling and large families, but mostly it led to long months of isolation due to the frigid temperatures. This created a toughness and resiliency known as “cold nose, warm heart.” My ancestors’ hearts may have been warm, but the rest of their bodies were not, hence the large parkas and extra blankets.

I don’t take my friends for granted. Or maybe I do. Maybe I did. Facebook sort of makes that easy, doesn’t it? We can even pause our friends for 30 days if they displease us in some way. Not sure what we should make of that, even in an election year. Speaking of years, has 2020 not been the bomb – in a masked and morbid atomic sort of way? I truly thought it couldn’t get any worse, and then it did. I don’t want to go into details because I try not to be too personal about things (while being as personal as I can be — go figure).

revenues, and it has also suffered setbacks since the onset of the pandemic. Preliminary numbers indicate lottery ticket sales fell 5.8 percent, or $172.5 million, during the fiscal year. “The COVID-19 pandemic likely hurt lottery sales as customers were more likely to stay at home and some retailers may not have been open, making the lottery less available,” the report stated. The report also noted that lottery sales have been relatively stagnant in recent years, growing only 4.8 percent over the past six fiscal years. That has been especially disappointing, the report stated, because officials had hoped for more rapid growth after it placed day-to-day management of the lottery in the hands of a private company. In 2010, Illinois hired the firm Northstar Lottery Group to manage the lottery, but after disappointing results the state changed contractors in 2018 when it hired Camelot Illinois. “The virus-related disruptions have made it difficult to gauge whether lottery performance has improved since this change has taken place,” the report stated.

Thanksgiving traffic safety campaign dates set The Lake County Sheriff’s Office will be participating in a traffic safety campaign around the Thanksgiving Holiday. The campaign runs from November 20 – 30, 2020. Sheriff John Idleburg said, “There is nothing worse than having to notify a family that a loved one died in a crash because they were the victim of an intoxicated motorist – especially during the holidays. With so many options available to have a safe and sober driver, there is absolutely no excuse for getting behind the wheel while intoxicated.” Throughout the year, many traffic deaths and injuries could be prevented with the click of a seat belt or the choice to designate a sober

Lake County Forest Preserves lighted trails open for the season Having a hard time getting outside in nature now that the sun sets earlier? Taking an evening hike on solar-lit trails in the forest preserves is now a great option. With small solar lights to guide their way, hikers, skiers and snow shoers can get some brisk evening exercise along the 1.3-mile fitness trail at Old School Forest Preserve in Libertyville, and along a 1.65-mile hilly section of the Millennium Trail adjacent to the Winter Sports Area at Lakewood Forest Preserve in Wauconda. “Visiting the trails in the evening is a nice way to gain a different perspective of the forest preserves,” said Angelo Kyle, president of the Lake County Forest Preserves. “We realize that during the COVID-19 pandemic, people are utilizing the trails more than ever as a way to improve their well-being.”

driver. More than 30% of motor vehicle crash fatalities in Illinois involve an alcohol-impaired driver, and data shows drug-involved driving is on the rise. To combat these trends, the Lake County Sheriff’s Office is joining the Illinois Department of Transportation, the Illinois State Police and local law enforcement agencies in a statewide effort to save lives by stepping up enforcement of seat belt and impaired driving laws. The Thanksgiving enforcement effort is made possible by federal traffic safety funds administered by IDOT as part of the statewide Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over and Click It or Ticket campaigns.
Though regular preserve hours are 6:30 a.m. to sunset, the illuminated trails and adjacent parking lots will remain open after sunset until 9 p.m., daily from Sunday, Nov. 1, through Sunday, March 14, 2021. Bicycles and horses are not permitted on the lighted trails after sunset. Dogs are allowed but must be leashed. To access the lighted trails, park at Lakewood’s Winter Sports Area located on the east side of Fairfield Road just south of Route 176, or at Old School’s main entrance lot located on the east side of St. Mary’s Road just south of Route 176. Lake County Forest Preserve Rangers regularly patrol the areas. For more information on the trails visit Lake County Forest Preserves website at lcfpd.org.

Lake County Board adopts budget with no increase in tax levy for second consecutive year While county revenues are severely impacted by COVID-19 pandemic, Lake County will continue to provide critical services
At its Nov. 10 meeting, the Lake County Board approved a balanced budget for Fiscal Year (FY) 2021, which for the second year in a row does not raise the total tax levy. As a result, Lake County’s tax rate will likely decrease slightly, which means most homeowners will see a slight reduction next year in the Lake County government portion of their property tax bill. Individual tax bills may vary depending on how a property’s assessed value has
changed and depending on the actions of other local government taxing bodies. The financial impact of the COVID-19 pandemic had many ramifications for Lake County in 2020, among them a significant reduction in Lake County revenues in a number of areas, including licenses and permits, law and judicial-related revenues and other areas. The financial impact from the pandemic is anticipated to continue into
Fiscal Year 2021. The $559.2 million budget approved by the board is 2.45%, or $14 million, lower than last year, in order to make up for some of the anticipated revenue loss. The reduction in expenditures will come largely from capital expenses, which will be $6.9 million lower than last year. The budget is also balanced due to difficult cuts, operational efficiencies and reorganizations in some departments.
It includes a reduction of 31 employee positions. Due to fiscal constraints, no salary increases or adjustments have been included for non-union employees. Scheduled wage increases in negotiated union contracts have been included in the budget in accordance with the contracts. “The board’s priority in passing the final budget was to make sure the necessary resources are in place to keep Lake County healthy

Lake County briefs
October marked the oneyear anniversary of the countywide 2-1-1 service operated by United Way of Lake County, with funding and support from Lake County government and other partners. In its first year of service, 2-1-1 received 6,760 calls and texts to its contact center, and more than 49,000 visits to the 211LakeCounty.org website. Since the COVID-19 pandemic hit in March, more than half of the calls and texts have been related to COVID-19, with the top needs related to housing and shelter, utilities, food and mental health. Requests for help have come from every zip code in Lake County. To meet some of those needs, Lake County has responded by increasing funding for rent and utility assistance through the COVID Housing Relief Program (CHRP). The 2-1-1 center is centralizing and streamlining the rental assistance screening process to make it easier for individuals and families facing financial hardship to access resources.
Free COVID-19 testing will be available at the following locations in November. A mobile testing unit managed by the Illinois Department of Public Health will be available on: • Saturday, Nov. 21, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., Round Lake High School, 800 High School Drive, Round Lake • Wednesday, Nov. 25, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Highwood Public Library, 102 Highwood Avenue, Highwood (Walk-up only; no drive-through) Testing is free and open to all regardless of symptoms.

County offices suspend in-person services
Due to the rising number of COVID-19 cases in Lake County, many departments within the County have suspended in-person services and are providing remote customer service only. Before you visit a County office, be sure to call or check the individual department’s website to verify their hours, and whether or not in-person assistance is available. Our staff remains committed to providing exceptional customer service via phone and email, so please don’t hesitate to reach out if there’s anything you need. Visit lakecountyil. gov/Departments to view the latest service information of the department/office you are interested in.
and safe,” said County Board Chair Sandy Hart. “During times like these, the critical services that Lake County provides—including public health, housing and community development, roads and infrastructure--are more important than ever.” “This budget allows Lake County to continue to carry out the critical services that only the County provides while recognizing that revenues are significantly reduced
from prior years. Despite significant declines in several revenue categories, this budget contains no increase in proposed property taxes, in recognition of the hardship this pandemic has had on our residents,” said County Board Member and Financial and Administrative Committee Chair Paul Frank. The 2021 budget information can be found online at www.lakecountyil.gov/budget.
Signs of local business success thanks to the CLC Small Business Development Center Local business owner Randy Rice first approached the Small Business Development and International Trade Center (SBDC/ITC) at College of Lake County (CLC) to get advice on buying a franchise. Since the SBDC/ITC was such a helpful resource when he wanted to grow his sign business, Rice also reached out for resources to stay afloat during the pandemic. Prior to COVID-19, the SBDC/ITC helped Rice by answering questions about things like forming a legal entity, the best approaches to marketing, financial management and more. However, since the pandemic, the SBDC/ITC has focused on helping small businesses with disaster funding. Rice applied for and received assistance through the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP), the Economic Injury Disaster Loan (EIDL) program and the Lake County Small Business Assistance grant. “On October 23, I received a check from the Lake County Board to help my business recover from the economic impacts of the COVID-19 emergency,” said Rice. “This Business Assistance Grant is absolutely critical to keeping our doors open so we can serve our community during the pandemic. Thank you, SBDC/ITC, for your support and encouragement during this tough time.” Even more meaningful to Rice were the consistent check-ins by SBDC/ITC staff to see how things were going. They offered encouragement and passed along additional opportunities to grow his business. Rice is involved with the combined Green Oaks, Libertyville, Mundelein, Vernon Hills Chamber of Commerce, the Waukegan Chamber of Commerce and Business Networking International. The SBDC/ITC salutes Rice’s entrepreneurial spirit and drive to succeed and are honored to include him among the many businesses they can help. Rice credits his mother, Shirley, for the inspiration to start his own business, Surely Signs. He remembers tagging along with her as a kid while she created works of art by hand as a sign painter. Today, Rice makes signs using technology, creating traditional interior and exterior signage, window graphics, vehicle wraps, trade show displays, banners, yard signs, stickers and more.

Lake County Sheriff’s Department briefs Man charged with DUI, fleeing, after crashing into squad car
On November 9, 2020, at approximately 8:50 p.m., a Lake County Sheriff’s Detective, driving a Dodge Charger, was stopped at a red light, facing eastbound on Washington Street at Sheridan Road, Waukegan. A Nissan Altima, driven by Alan Ortiz, 28, of the 2600 block of West Florida Ave-
nue, Waukegan, was traveling southbound on Sheridan Road and attempted to make a right turn onto westbound Washington Street. Ortiz made a wide turn and struck the driver’s side of the Dodge Charger. The sheriff’s detective activated the emergency lights, but Ortiz put the Nissan in reverse to back away from the crash scene, and then fled. The sheriff’s detective pursued the Nissan, in an attempt to pull him over. During the
Driver’s licenses, ID card extension until Feb. 1
Illinois Secretary of State Jesse White announced that expiration dates for driver’s licenses and ID cards have been extended an additional three months – from Nov. 1, 2020, until Feb. 1, 2021. This new Feb. 1 extension also includes those who have October, November, December and January expiration dates. As a result, expired driver’s licenses and ID cards will remain valid until Feb. 1, 2021, so customers do not need to rush into Driver Services facilities during the pandemic. “Extending expiration dates until February 1 means people with an expired driver’s license and ID card do not need to visit a Driver Services facility immediately,” said White. “During this pandemic, we continue to think creatively to serve the public as efficiently as possible, while making public health and safety our top priority.” License plates stickers remained extended until Nov. 1, 2020, as they can easily be renewed online. White continues to urge the public to consider using online services when possible instead of visiting a facility due to heavy customer volume. Customers who can conduct business online may go to www. cyberdriveillinois.com to take advantage of online services – such as renewing license plate stickers, obtaining a duplicate driver’s license or ID card, obtaining a driving record abstract or renewing a standard driver’s license through the Safe Driver renewal program – from the comfort of their own home. People who conduct online transactions will avoid waiting in line at a facility. White noted that online transactions continue to rise, with an increase of 84 percent in online license plate sticker renewals when compared to the same period in 2019. White recently extended the driver’s license expiration date by one year for qualified drivers age 75 and older. The new expiration date is their birthday in 2021. For those customers who must visit a facility, face masks are required. In addition, customers are asked to be patient due to heavy volume and to be prepared to wait outside in various types of weather. This is due to social distancing, which limits the number of people inside a facility at one time. For more information, visit www.cyberdriveillinois. com.

Ortiz was being held in the Lake County Jail on $50,000.00 bail and was due to be in court on November 16. All defendants are presumed innocent unless proven guilty in a court of law.

wounded. The first responding sheriff’s deputies performed life-saving measurers until paramedics arrived. The man was transported to an area hospital via ambulance, with critical injuries. It was determined the man was struck with multiple gunshots. Preliminary investigation shows a male arrived and approached the victim, who was standing outside in front of his home. The offender shot toward the man several times and then fled on foot. He then entered a vehicle and fled from the scene. Based on the information obtained by sheriff’s detectives, it does not appear this was a random attack.

On November 13, 2020, at approximately 7:15 p.m., Lake County Sheriff’s Deputies were dispatched to West Russell Road east of Delany Road, Newport Township, for a traffic crash with injuries.

Snow and ice removal in your community: quick tips Each fall, the Stormwater Management Commission of Lake County gathers with community members for Deicing Workshops to learn how to balance safety with effective snow and ice removal practices and alternative solutions to salting. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, they had to cancel their annual workshops, which
provided your programs with helpful winter maintenance tips and tricks. They hope to see you at the 2021 Lake County Deicing Workshops that will be held next fall. Be on the lookout for an announcement with more information in the spring of 2021. Even though they won’t be having their annual workshops, it’s still valuable to
remind winter maintenance agencies and operators of the importance of winter maintenance best practices. Following are some helpful reminders to ensure your snow and ice operations are using road salt wisely. Parking Lot and Sidewalk Maintenance Tips
• De-icers melt snow and ice. They provide no traction on top of snow and ice. • De-icing works best if you plow before applying material. • Pick the right material for the pavement temperatures. See salt alternatives below. • Sand only works on top of snow as traction. It provides no melting. • Anti-icing prevents the bond
maintain roads and walkways. Salting alternatives are something that are discussed each year. The hope is that you’re using alternatives in your programs, but if you haven’t made the switch yet, consider some of these: • Calcium Magnesium AceSalt alternatives Winter maintenance pro- tate grams across the country • Magnesium Chloride are using safe alternatives to • Calcium Chloride from forming between pavement and ice. • Anti-icing chemicals must be applied prior to snow fall. • NaCl (road salt) does not work when the temperature is less than 15º F.
