Drive-in movies back in fashion By Sandra Landen Machaj CORRESPONDENT
Traveling along Chapel Hill Road it is not possible to miss the giant screen of the McHenry Outdoor Theatre located at the corner of Chapel Hill Road and Lincoln Highway. All last summer and fall, it was not only the giant screen that caught one’s attention but also the traffic jams caused by cars lining up to attend the evening movies at the McHenry Outdoor Theatre. “Last year was a busy time for us here at the theater. With so many activities closed down, people were looking for entertainment to attend outside of their homes for their families,” said Scott Dehn, owner of the McHenry Outdoor Theatre. “Going to the outdoor movies is a way of sharing the experience of watching a movie on a large screen with friends and neighbors, while still adhering to social distancing norms brought to us by the pandemic.” Because of the pandemic, the theater was limited to a decreased number of automobiles that were allowed in the theater. Tickets were sold at the gate so it was not unusual to find cars lining up long before the 6:30 p.m. opening time and blocking traffic on Chapel Hill Road. “When this occurred, we had to open early to keep from creating a traffic jam. When we began to interfere with traffic on the road, tick-

ets were sold and the cars ushered into the theater with tickets being sold out on some days by 2:30 p.m. This year should be different as we will be allowed to operate at full capacity, thus holding twice as many viewers as last year,” added Dehn. If going to an outdoor movie is a memory from their childhood, and now one that they are introducing to their own children, it will be an enjoyable event. That memory may include sitting in the back of a pickup truck, using folding chairs next to the automobile, or remaining inside the car to enjoy the movie. No movie, indoor or out, can be enjoyed without popcorn. So of course, a visit to the Concession building is needed before or during the show. The concession stand offers popcorn, soft drinks, and soft jumbo pretzels. For those looking for a hardier meal, nachos, hot dogs, and burgers can be purchased. But don’t forget to wear your mask when entering the con-
cession building. They are required because of the pandemic protocols. A bit of history The McHenry Outdoor Theatre originally opened under the name of the Skyline Drive-In. While it opened in 1946 Dehn said, the history of drive-in movie theaters goes back to June 6, 1933, when the first “park- in movie” opened in New Jersey. The new “park-in movie” was the creation of Richard Hollingshead, who was looking to create a more comfortable way to enjoy watching a movie, rather than sitting in the uncomfortable movie theater seats of the time. Hollingshead did not have to look further than the comfort of the seats in his automobile and he patented the idea of the park-in theater where one could enjoy the movie while sitting in their automobile or pickup truck. His company, Park-In Theaters Inc. was started with an initial investment

of $30,000. The first movie played was “Wife Beware” starring Adolph Menjou. While the initial theater he opened would only remain in business for three years, other park-in theaters began to sprout up throughout the nation. The outdoor theatre was advertised as family entertainment. Costs were kept low with tickets priced at 25 cents per person and no car was charged more than $1.
Many of the early theaters had a playground in front of the screen and a few even had petting zoos to occupy the children and wear them out before the movie began. The disadvantage of the outdoor theater was that the movie could not be projected until dark and during the summer in many areas, that did not occur until 8 or 9 p.m. The advantage was to parents who did not have to hire babysitters. They brought
their children with them, tired them out on the playground and would then herd them back to the automobile where they would watch the cartoons. Cartoons were always shown before the movie features and usually before the cartoons were concluded, the younger children would be asleep in the backseat of the car. Thus allowing the parents

Adopt a book, turn a page for history The Buffalo House tavern is long gone, but its memory lives on in a 6-by-15-inch business ledger. The ledger dates from the early 1900s and kept track of the tavern’s patron’s drink bills. The “Buffalo House” in Lily Lake was opened Michael L. Worts as a combination tavern and hotel in 1901. The decision to build a tavern hotel on the east shore of Lily Lake was a wise one since the main wagon route between Chicago and Lake Geneva, Wis. followed today’s Darrell Road and Route 120 west through McHenry. On top of that, Lily Lake was a destination for fishermen in the 1890s. His parents, Theodore and Katherina (Schneider) Worts, owned land that encompassed Lily Lake. In 1897 Michael Worts married Katherine Boley, a daughter of Gottlieb and Josephine Boley. Gottlieb Boley owned the McHenry Brewery which produced a beer called “Buffalo.” Having married into the Boley family, Michael made a point of selling only “Buffalo Beer” at his new roadhouse; the reason why the establishment was called the “Buffalo House.” In the pre-computer age, meticulous (or in this case less than meticulous) records were kept in ledgers. The Buffalo House logged everything from patrons’ liquor and tobacco purchases to supplies such as pork, apples and
“cornstocks.” There are even handwritten accounts of hours worked. The McHenry County Historical Society is launching a conservation initiative that encourages the public to “adopt” a historic McHenry County book held within its collection. For example, $600 is needed to mend torn pages and reattach the front and back covers to the Buffalo House ledger. Treatment includes mending, surface cleaning, hinging on loose page, rebacking the original boards with Japanese tissue, stabilizing the cracks in the board with Japanese tissue, and reattaching the case to the text block. By donating to the Adopt A Book program, you are directly supporting these conservation efforts. On this page you will find books selected for “adoption.” Donors – either individually, as an organization or in concert with others – will receive: • An “Adopt A Book” certificate. • Information packet on your selected book. • Before-and-after images once the conservation is complete. • Formal acknowledgment of your tax-deductible contribution. • Acknowledgment in our next Tracer newsletter as a member of our Adopt A Book Program.
• Donor appreciation event with tour of the MCHS Research Library to view your adopted book. • Free 1 hour scheduled research time in the MCHS Research Library. The McHenry County Historical Society’s research library includes numerous 19th- and early 20th-century survey notebooks from notable McHenry County surveyors including John Brink, Charles Hopkins Tyron, and his great-nephews Charles Leon and George Leslie Tryon. Such county surveyors re-established and maintained the official government survey monuments, as well as reviewed property boundary surveys and subdivision plans. Surveyors’ notebooks, the rough draft for finished surveys, are consulted when trying to find original boundaries or long neglected features on the McHenry County landscape. Because of their age and demand in research, the survey notebooks require professional conservation. Once adopted and stabilized, each survey notebook will be made available in the research library for public use. In 1906, John took over operations of the Buffalo House from his brother, Michael. John and his wife, Lena, operated the tavern until 1911 – when it was sold to a younger brother, Matt.

‘Bridge’ phase gets under way as state seeks to incentivize vaccination Pfizer vaccine open to youths age 12-15; Pritzker will revise mask mandate
By Jerry Nowicki CAPITOL NEWS ILLINOIS
The state is opening vaccinations to Illinoisans age 12-15, and a major theme park operator is offering 50,000 free admission tickets in an effort to encourage vaccination in that age group. That news came as the governor’s office confirmed the state is entering the “bridge” phase of expanded reopening amid decreasing transmission rates, while first-time unemployment claims increased from the prior week and continued claims dropped. As of May 13, more than 4.6 million Illinoisans—or 36.5 percent of the state’s population—were fully vaccinated, with 10.1 million doses administered statewide. Almost 58 percent of the state’s age 16-and-over population had received at least one dose of the vaccine, according to the Illinois Department of Public Health. But the vaccination pace has slowed, with about 76,082 vaccine doses administered on average daily over the previous seven days. That’s down from a peak of over 130,000 daily in midApril. Gov. JB Pritzker said at a news conference at the Gurn-
ee Six Flags Great America location that incentives such as free tickets could nudge more Illinoisans toward taking the vaccine. “I think that there are people who, hearing that there’s an incentive knowing that it’s easy to get vaccinated at a place like this or somewhere near where you live,” Pritzker said. “There are an awful lot of people out there that just haven’t had time or they haven’t had a, you know, that extra little push to go get it done” The state is sending Illinois National Guard mobile vaccination teams to the Gurnee location on June 5 and 6, and the teams will return if turnout is high. Six Flags will announce additional details in the coming weeks, according to the governor’s office. As well, “a significant portion” of the tickets will be distributed through local health departments, with more information forthcoming on a “county-by-county basis.” Mobile vaccination teams Mobile teams are a key component of the state’s effort to target vaccinations to hesitant or hard-to-reach communities. The Illinois Department of Public Health
said in a news release it is also enrolling pediatricians into the state immunization registry to allow them to administer COVID-19 vaccines. As well, schools may partner with the local health department or pharmacy to set up vaccination clinics for students. “We know that communities of color, unfortunately, have been less likely to get vaccinated, we’ve tried to make it more available than ever before… and of course there are people in rural communities where transportation is more difficult,” Pritzker said. “So we’ve tried to move mobile vaccination units into those communities, as well as into more difficult neighborhoods across the state.” ‘Shot and a beer act’ Rep. Mike Zalewski, a Democrat from Riverside, is sponsoring a measure he calls the “shot and a beer act” to incentivize those age 21 and older to be vaccinated. That would allow Illinois bars to offer one free alcoholic drink to a customer who can prove they are vaccinated. “We think it will help overcome vaccine hesitancy,” Zalewski said in a news conference, noting he was
hopeful the measure could pass before the May 31 adjournment of the General Assembly. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration recently expanded the emergency use authorization for the vaccine manufactured by Pfizer-BioNtech, and the state announced last week that vaccination sites were ready to vaccinate 12-15-year-olds. According to health officials, the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine was found to be 100 percent effective in preventing COVID-19 among participants ages 12 through 15 years, and side effects were similar to those 16 years of age and older, including pain at the injection site, tiredness, headache, chills, muscle and joint pain, and fever. The bridge phase to full reopening that that began last Friday would allow theme parks such as Six Flags and its Hurricane Harbor water park locations to operate at 60 percent capacity, up from 25 percent under Phase 4 guidelines. New masking guidelines Also on May 13, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention released new guidance for masking which said fully vaccinated people can stop wearing masks in most indoor and outdoor
COVID-19 vaccinations for children 12 to 15 years old now available in Lake County The Lake County Health Department opened COVID-19 vaccinations to children ages 12 to 15 years old on Thursday, May 13, 2021, following the recommendation of the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP). Parents and legal guardians are encouraged to register their children on the Lake County AllVax Portal to make an appointment at the Lake County Fairgrounds in Grayslake or Regional Vaccination Site at 102 W. Water Street, Waukegan. On Monday, May 10, 2021, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) expanded its authorization of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine to include 12 to 15-year-old children after rigorous re-
view of clinical trial data for this age group. This vaccine was authorized for use in ages 16 and older on December 11, 2020. On Wednesday, May 12, 2021, ACIP will hold a meeting and vote on expanding the age eligibility before making its recommendation to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). After this point, Lake County vaccine providers may begin vaccinating 12 to 15-year-olds using the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine. AllVax appointments for 12 to 15-year-olds will open within 24 hours of the ACIP vote.Households who are already registered on the AllVax portal are encouraged to add children as a household member, rather than setting
up a separate account for their child. Minors under age 18 must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian to receive their vaccine at a Lake County Health Department vaccination site. “We are eager to provide COVID-19 vaccines to more teens and adolescents to prevent new infections in our families and communities,” said Mark Pfister, Executive Director of the Lake County Health Department. “Cases among 14 to 18-year-olds in Lake County doubled in the month of April. We know our families long for normalcy—healthy and lower risk social interactions, quality education with minimal disruptions, and the return of activities that we enjoy. We
urge families to protect your children from this illness by getting them vaccinated as soon as possible.” Residents may also check with other Lake County COVID-19 vaccine providers such as local vaccination sites, pharmacies, and healthcare providers for availability of vaccinations for this age group. For help finding a vaccine provider in Lake County, visit www. lakecountyil.gov/vaccine. As of May 10, 2021, 230,261 Lake County residents, or 32.86% of the population, have been fully vaccinated for COVID-19. Over 80% of seniors ages 65 and older and 50% of those ages 16–64 have received at least one dose of the vaccine.
locations, with exceptions for public transportation, planes, hospitals, doctors offices and prisons. In response, Pritzker tweeted, “I firmly believe in following the science and will revise my executive orders in line with (CDC) guidelines lifting additional mitigations for vaccinated people. The scientists’ message is clear: if you are vaccinated, you can safely do much more.” The governor also said that the Chicago White Sox and Cubs will be adding sections in their ballparks for those who are fully vaccinated in order to maximize their allowable capacity. The capacity will increase to 60 percent at each park later in the month as well. Also in the bridge phase, restaurants and bars can increase capacity from 25 percent to 30 percent, and outdoor capacity is allowed up to 50 percent for standing areas. Additionally, vaccinated people do not count against capacity limits. The largest increase is to social events, which can allow 250 people indoors and 500 outdoors. Previously, those were capped at 50 people. Pritzker’s office has said Phase 5, which is free of capacity limitations, could happen as early as June 11 if transmission numbers continue to decrease. As of May 13, the seven-day rolling average case positivity rate for COVID-19
was 2.7 percent, down from a recent high of 4.4 percent on April 12. Hospitalizations continued on a downward trend as well, with 1,765 people hospitalized for COVID-19 at the end of the day May 12, a low since April 6. Meanwhile, unemployment claims remained high, with 18,355 initial claims filed the week ending May 8, a 21 percent increase from the previous week. There were 216,176 unemployment weeks claimed for the week ending May 8, a decrease of 5 percent from the week prior. Unemployed Illinoisan to continue to receive extra $300 per week in benefits In a separate news conference, Pritzker said he did not plan to opt the state out of a federal plan that allows people on unemployment to receive $300 extra per week in unemployment compensation. “Our job here is to make sure that we’re creating jobs and helping people to rebuild the lives that they had before, the pandemic,” the governor said when asked about the extra $3000 payments. “And so we’re not going to pull the rug out from under people. What we are going to do is make sure that we’re creating promoting as many jobs as possible and attracting people to those jobs.”

Sheriff Idelburg Criminal Justice Community Council launches website In September of 2019, Sheriff John D. Idleburg introduced a new collaborative partnership with the Lake County Community: Criminal Justice Community Council (CJCC). Since its creation, the council has grown to encompassing 20 Lake County organizations who have CJCC voting rights, over 10 additional other participating Lake County organizations, along with other members of the community. The CJCC is a strategy of the MacArthur Foundation’s Safety and Justice Challenge. The Safety and Justice Challenge’s goal is to develop and model effective ways to keep people out of jail who do not pose a threat to public safety,
more effectively reintegrate to community upon release, and help reduce recidivism while identifying and working towards reducing racial ethnic disparities in the criminal justice system. A newly developed website, Facebook Page, and Twitter Page, increasing the transparency of the CJCC was launched this week. The website contains information about the council and the Safety and Justice Challenge strategies, equity in the criminal justice system, contributing members, meeting agendas, and more. • The website’s address is: https:// www.lakecountycjcc.org/ • Facebook handle: @LakeILcjcc
(https://www.facebook.com/ LakeILcjcc) • Twitter handle: @LakeIL_cjcc (https://twitter.com/LakeIL_cjcc) Sheriff John D. Idleburg said, “I am very proud of the collaboration and dedication of those participating in the Criminal Justice Community Council. It is so important for the community to have a platform like this to provide us input and guidance. This collaborative effort encompasses a motivated group of stakeholders who are working to improve the criminal justice system through innovative solutions, which will keep our community safe while working to eliminate inequities in the system.”

schools if requested. According to Dehn, there will be a number of additional activities at the McHenry Outdoor Theatre this year, including musical concerts which they are booking now. “This year the Skyline Car Show will be held here. This will replace the car show that has been traditionally held on Green Street,” Dehn said. “The first one will be held on June 10 and will continue every Monday starting at 3 p.m.” For those who just wish to visit the car show, a donation
of $5 will be given to a local charity. But a better choice is come for the car show and stay for the movies. A $20 fee will cover the entire car for both events. Tuesdays will also be a special night when the charge for the movies will be $15 for the whole carload. Other nights the entry fee will be $12 for each adult and $6 for children. Last year, Dehn was able to purchase 11 acres of land behind the theatre from the village of Lakemoor and plans to build a couple more screens
on that land if the interest in the outdoor theatre experience continues. While last year, the theater could only open at half capacity, this year they will be open at full capacity allowing more families to enjoy the outdoor movie experience. Cars were placed strategically so that everyone could see the screen, with taller vehicles on the outside and smaller ones in the front. The season will open on April 30 with two movies sure to please. “Jaws” will be the first feature followed by
“Twister.” “Unfortunately, there are not many new movies being released but when we can get them, we will show them. Otherwise, we will be showing the classic movies that are customers’ request,” Dehn said. The McHenry Outdoor Theatre is at 1510 Chapel Hill Road, Lake Moor, Illinois.

mated at around $1.3 billion. “The choices are really clear,” Harris said during a news conference. “We’re either going to have to find ways to cut to fill that hole, or we’re going to have to review the proposals that the governor made to close corporate tax loopholes on wealthy individuals and corporations. Some mix of those will be required.” In February, Pritzker proposed filling the budget hole with about $1.5 billion in revenue enhancements that included closing what he called “corporate tax loopholes,” but which Republicans prefer to call “business incentives.”
So far, however, lawmakers have not appeared anxious to take up Pritzker’s tax proposals, at least until they have a clearer idea of how big of a budget hole needs to be filled. “I think there’s a number of things that the governor has proposed that we’ve asked members to take a deep dive and to be mindful of to think about how it would affect their constituents vis-à-vis the overall state budget…We remain very, very invested in trying to get a responsible budget to the governor’s desk,” said Rep. Michael Zalewski, D-Riverside, who chairs the House Revenue Committee.
Pritzker’s budget plan was drafted before Congress passed the American Rescue Plan, which will send about $8.1 billion in fiscal relief to the state. But the U.S. Treasury Department is still in the process of finalizing rules for how that money can be spent, and on May 13, Harris cautioned against trying to use it to fill the state’s ongoing structural budget deficit. “We know that this is an amount of money that can be spent over the course of four years, so we have to be very thoughtful as how we spend it over a period of time,” he said. “We know it’s largely one-
time money. So I think we’re all going to want to look at it really carefully to be sure that we’re not building this into a base that then there would be a cliff when this money expired.” State and local governments also stand to receive significant federal aid. According to Harris, the federal law will send about $5.9 billion to Illinois cities and towns, $5 billion to public schools, $1.3 billion to colleges and universities, $1.7 billion for public health programs, and $1.35 billion for child care and Head Start programs. The Treasury Department has published interim rules that outline general categories of spending that qualify under the law. They include responding to the public health emergency or its negative economic impacts; providing premium pay to essential workers during the pandemic; making up for revenue lost due to the pandemic; and investing in water, sewer or broadband infrastructure. The interim rules also say the funds may not be used for funding pension plans or paying down debt. Pritzker and Comptroller Susana Mendoza have said Illinois should be allowed to use the money to repay shortterm loans the state took out from the Federal Reserve during the pandemic, and they have urged federal officials to make that change when the final rules are published in July.

Illinois budget officials said May 13 that revenues are flowing into state coffers at a faster pace than previously estimated, meaning lawmakers will have more money to work with as they try to finalize a new budget for the fiscal year that begins July 1. The Governor’s Office of Management and Budget officially raised its revenue estimate for the current fiscal year by more than $1.4 billion and by $842 million for the upcoming fiscal year. Those figures are similar to the latest revised estimates
from the General Assembly’s budget monitoring agency, the Commission on Government Forecasting and Accountability, which said last week that revenues for the current year would go up about $2 billion while next year’s revenues would be $792 million more than previously forecasted. That came as good news to state lawmakers who are trying to finalize the next fiscal year’s budget before their scheduled adjournment day on May 31, but it still was not enough to completely close the looming deficit in next year’s budget, which House Majority Leader Greg Harris, D-Chicago, esti-

Sheriff Idelburg introduces newest canine deputy Danno Norah Gault was the winner of the contest to name newest K9
The Lake County Sheriff’s Office is excited to introduce Canine Danno! Canine Danno is a 20-monthold male German Shepherd and he is officially the newest Lake County Sheriff’s Office recruit. Canine Danno met his human partner, Deputy Andrew Martini on April 26, 2021. The two will now undergo two months of intense training. The training will consist of canine psychology, obedience, agility, tracking, scent detection, and more. Following the initial training, Canine Danno will be officially sworn-in as a Lake County Sheriff’s Deputy. The Lake County Sheriff’s Office received nearly 1,000 votes for various ca-
nine names during the naming contest from Lake County youth. One lucky winner, 5th grader Norah Gault of Barrington, submitted the name Danno for consideration. Norah is a student in Barrington School District 220. Sheriff John D. Idleburg said, “I think everyone who grew up watching Hawaii Five-O will have a light-hearted appreciation for the name Danno. We are very excited to welcome Canine Danno to our team and we are thrilled Norah Gault selected such a great name. I truly enjoyed the enthusiasm from the youth of our community in helping us pick out a name for our newest canine.”
County Board approves ordinance allowing adult-use cannabis businesses in unicorporated Lake County On May 11, the Lake County Board approved an ordinance that permits adult-use cannabis businesses in unincorporated Lake County subject to certain zoning restrictions. Per the ordinance, different types of adult-use cannabis facilities will be allowed to operate within the general commercial and industrial zoning districts including dispensaries and various support businesses consisting of transporters, cultivation and processing uses. In particular, infusers, processers, craft growers and transportation
facilities would be allowed by right within the industrial zones, while all other adult-use cannabis businesses would require a public hearing and the Lake County Zoning Board of Appeal’s approval of a conditional use permit to operate. No adultuse cannabis businesses will be permitted to operate in residential zoning districts. Public engagement was one of the Lake County Board’s primary goals in its review of adult-use cannabis regulations. Lake County held two public hearings and
created an interactive website for people to learn more about the issue and ask questions directly to Lake County’s project team. “We would like to thank everyone for their input, ideas and suggestions on this issue since Illinois’ new law took effect,” said Lake County Board Chair Sandy Hart. “We see this ordinance as a reasonable balance between economic development opportunities in the unincorporated areas and sensible restrictions to protect public health and safety. The public
input we received on this issue helped the staff and board develop the regulations we approved.” The decision followed a series of meetings that began after the Cannabis Regulation and Tax Act was signed by Governor J.B. Pritzker in 2019. Lake County initiated a countywide task force that was attended by representatives from many local municipalities to study and analyze the new law. Following a oneyear moratorium on adult-use cannabis businesses ending in February 2021, the Lake
County Board discussed the subject at several committee meetings, and in April 2021, the Lake County Zoning Board of Appeals hosted two public hearings to present the proposed adult-use cannabis zoning amendments and to gather input from residents. “For nearly two years, the County Board and staff took the time to research and gather information on the adultuse cannabis topic, including lessons learned,” said Bill Durkin, Lake County Public Works, Planning and Transportation Committee Chair.
“This was time well spent, as we believe the result is a very practical, balanced approach to regulating adult-use cannabis businesses. Starting May 11, adult-use cannabis businesses will be able to apply for the opportunity to operate in unincorporated Lake County in accordance with the provisions in the ordinance.” Residents can learn more about the issue by visiting Lake County’s adult-use cannabis web page at https:// www.lakecountyil.gov/4526/ Adult-Use-Cannabis-Businesses.

Court news
Man charged with bilking over half a million dollars from area victims A Vernon Hills man, charged with stealing over half a million dollars, was in court on Wednesday, May 12, as he was arraigned on six felony counts of theft and conspiracy. T h e charges were filed in April following an investigation by the Lake County State’s Attorney’s Office after three Ricky Dugo area victims complained to authorities. R i c k y Dugo, 54, appeared during a Zoom hearing on We d n e s d a y morning and Shannon Dugo entered pleas of “not guilty” to all counts connected with his alleged schemes. Lake County Circuit Court Judge Daniel Shanes set a case management date for July 6. A trial date has not been set, as attorneys on both sides begin poring over thousands
of pages of discovery information in the case. The Lake County State’s Attorney’s Office charged Dugo with two Class 1 felony counts, being unauthorized theft of between $500,000 and $1 million dollars, and theft by deception of between $500,000 and $1 million. He also faces four Class 2 felonies, including two more theft counts involving between $10,000 and $100,000 and two counts of conspiracy to commit financial crimes, with those counts identifying between $10,000 and $100,000 as having been lost. Class 1 felonies are punishable by a sentencing range of four to 15 years in prison. Class 2 felonies carry a sentencing range of three to seven years. The dates of the alleged offenses run from January of 2013 to March of 2018. Assistant State’s Attorney Kevin Berrill said Dugo is alleged to have convinced his victims to give him money for investments that didn’t really exist. Berrill said Dugo would then return to the victims for additional money, stringing them along after the initial in-

vestments were given to him. “Each of the victims in this case fell prey to a long con. These scams had significant negative impacts on their lives,” Berrill said. “Our goal in this case is to seek justice for victims who were truly hurt by these schemes.” According to prosecutors, it is possible additional victims may exist. Dugo’s wife, Shannon, also faces a charge in connection with the case. Shannon Dugo, 39, is charged with one count of perjury, a Class 3 felony, for allegedly lying to a Lake County Grand Jury with regard to the case. Class 3 felonies carry a potential sentence of two to five years in prison.
Man charged with trading vape carts and cannabis to minors for sex acts jailed after bail hike
At the request of the Lake County State’s Attorney’s Office, a man charged with providing vape cartridges and cannabis edibles to minors in the Gurnee area in exchange for sex acts saw his bail doubled Thursday morning. Isai Gonzaga, 26, who attended an in-person hearing Thursday after previously posting 10% of $250,000, left in handcuffs to be processed for jail under his new bail of $500,000. Gonzaga is charged with 26 counts of aggravated
“significant.” After hearing from both sides, Shanes ruled that he was doubling Gonzaga’s bail to $500,000, noting that while he is presumed innocent, the charges against him involve multiple victims. “The nature of the charges is quite serious. You are charged with 26 counts of aggravated criminal sexual abuse,” Shanes said. “(Even) One count is a serious charge.” Shanes added that under the allegations, Gonzaga had also provided minors with materials it is illegal for them to have. Shanes set Gonzaga’s next court date for July 1 at 9 a.m.
Fox Lake man arrested for theft of vehicle, residential burglary and traffic violation
The Fox Lake Police Department is announced the arrest of Thomas A. Brown, a 28-year-old male Fox Lake resident. The charges are as follows: 1. Theft (3 Counts) 720 ILCS 5/6-1(a)(1)(A) Class 4 Felony; 2. Residential Burglary 720 ILCS 5/19-3(a) Class 1 Felony; 3. Possession of Stolen Motor Vehicle 625 ILCS 5/4-103(a)(1) Class 2 Felony; 4. Driving While License Revoked 625 ILCS 5/6-303(a) Class A Misdemeanor; 5. Leaving the Scene of an Ac-
cident 625 ILCS 5/11-402(a) Class A Misdemeanor. On Thursday, May 13, 2021, at approximately 12:00 p.m., the Fox Lake Police Department responded to a report of a stolen motor vehicle from the McDonald’s parking lot of 40 S. US Highway 12. Witnesses followed the vehicle north on Highway 12 to State Park Rd. After turning onto State Park Rd, the vehicle left the roadway and came to a rest in the ditch. The suspect fled on foot into the neighboring subdivision. Fox Lake Police were assisted by the McHenry County Sheriff’s Office, Lake County Sheriff’s Office, Antioch Police Department, Round Lake Police Department, and Round Lake Beach Police Department. Several concerned citizens called 911 with information concerning the suspect direction of travel. The suspect entered a residence and was hiding from Police. A search of the area was conducted and the suspect was located inside of a residence that was unoccupied at the time. Thomas A. Brown was scheduled to attend a bond hearing on May 15, 2021 before a Lake County Judge. All Defendants are Presumed Innocent Unless Proven Guilty in a Court of Law For further information contact Chief Jimmy A Lee at (847) 587-3961.
911 Consortium initiative moves forward
In a move towards improving 9-1-1 call-taking, dispatch services and public safety throughout Lake County, the Regional 9-1-1 Consolidation Consortium coordinated with the Lake County Board to enter into two contracts with Tyler Technologies of Troy Michigan to replace and improve public safety technology for participating agencies. The new technology will include Computer Aided Dispatch (CAD), Mobile Messaging, Law Enforcement Records Management (RMS), Jail Management (JMS), Electronic Citation (E-Citation), and Electronic Crash (E-Crash) software. The consortium of 21 public safety entities was established in 2018 through an intergovernmental agreement to improve 9-1-1 service and increase public safety effi-
ciencies for residents and communities. In 2019, the Consortium approved a general plan to move partners toward consolidation of 9-1-1 technology and future operations. “It’s been very encouraging to work with municipalities and public safety agencies from all across Lake County in a highly collaborative process for the greater good of all our residents,” said Chris Velkover, Village of Gurnee’s Information Systems Director, and a member of the Consortium’s Technology Working Group and Operations Committee The Consortium’s original discussions focused solely on 9-1-1 technology, but soon expanded to a “system of systems” that includes records and jail management as well as law enforcement reporting

criminal sexual abuse. L a k e County Circuit Judge D a n i e l Shanes doubled Gonzaga’s bail T h u r s d a y Isai Gonzaga after a short hearing in which both sides argued their case. Defense attorney Alana DeLeon said in court that Gonzaga, of Zion, could afford to pay an additional $500 at most toward a higher bond. But to be free again before trial, he will now have to post an additional $25,000, with his earlier $25,000 payment credited toward the new bail amount. DeLeon said that Gonzaga, a Zion-Benton Township High School graduate, had no previous arrests and did well on a pretrial risk assessment. She also said he was living at home with his parents and siblings, and suggested that electronic monitoring and continued in-person hearings would allow the court to “keep tabs on him.” Assistant State’s Attorney Mary Stanton requested the bond increase after an additional, third victim came forward. Stanton argued that the original bond did not reflect the new 10 counts recently added due to the additional victim. Stanton did not request an exact bail amount, but asked that the increase be

(citations and accidents) due to the clear benefits and cost savings of shared systems and information. “The opportunity to consolidate public safety technology will greatly improve the efficiency of 9-1-1 dispatch as well as create additional public safety efficiencies throughout Lake County, and we’re proud to be a part of this first step towards improving the safety of our residents.” said Vernon Hills’ Chief of Police Patrick L. Kreis, who also serves as Chair of the Consortium’s Operations Committee. These contracts are the first major initiative from the Consortium’s plan and focus on building a foundation of standardized technology to improve emergency response, information sharing, and coordination amongst partnering agencies while reducing long term costs. The plan and contracts have been structured so additional partners can easily transition to these new systems for the operational and fiscal benefits. “In an emergency situation, every second counts and emergency agencies need to ensure they’re using the most updated computer aided dispatch technology available,” said Dave Dato, Chair of
the Lake County Emergency Telephone System Board (ETSB). “By coming to a consensus on the technology platforms to use, Lake County public safety agencies have taken a major stride toward improving 9-1-1 effectiveness and efficiencies.” “Collaboration with our municipal and local partners is critical when it comes to public safety. We are proud to support and help lead this important initiative, which will save lives by improving emergency response and save Lake County taxpayer dollars,” said Lake County Sheriff John Idleburg. The Lake County ETSB is the Consortium’s executive agent and purchaser for the $1.36 million CAD and Mobile Messaging contract while the Lake County Sheriff’s Office will be the Consortium’s executive agent and purchaser for the $2.83 million RMS, JMS, E-Citation, and E-Crash contract. “This continues to be a true team effort and I am grateful for so many stakeholders working together to provide exceptional service to the Lake County community,” said Linda Pedersen, a Lake County Board Member and a member of the Consortium’s Policy Committee.
