Forest Preserves, volunteers earn awards
The National Association of County Park and Recreation Officials (NACPRO) comprises 122 park and special recreation districts from across the country, of which the Lake County Forest Preserves is a member organization. The Association issued the awards. “We’re proud of the dedicated work our staff and volunteers do on a consistent basis,” said Angelo Kyle, president of the Lake County Forest Preserves. “We are deeply grateful that they are being recognized for their efforts by such a prestigious organization.” Outstanding Volunteer Lake Villa residents Joyce and George Proper were awarded the Outstanding Volunteer award. The couple has volunteered for decades and collectively donated more than 10,000 hours in the last 15 years alone. They serve as preserve stewards at Grant Woods Forest Preserve in Ingleside, where they led thousands of workdays to restore natural areas at the preserve and encouraged and trained other volunteers in native plant identification, invasive species management, seed collection and planting. Kyle presented the Propers with a proclamation last week that honored them for receiving the national award. “They were instrumental in improving natural areas at the 1,200acre Grant Woods preserve, one of the largest in the District, by enriching the biological diversity through carefully documented restoration and
plant introductions,” the proclamation says. The couple has worked tirelessly to restore the preserve which has some of the highest habitat diversity in the District, including prairies, oak woodlands sedge meadows, ravines and bogs. A third of the preserve is dedicated as an Illinois Nature Preserve in recognition of its high quality natural areas. The Propers have monitored rare plants for many years, especially lady slipper orchids, sundrops, vetches and hepatica, with data collection and sharing to support local, regional and global analysis. “We just love Grant Woods and we enjoy helping to make it even more beautiful,” said Joyce Proper, who grew up exploring the grounds of the preserve. She bakes cookies to thank and entice volunteers to return. Over the years the couple regularly helped with volunteer workdays at Rollins Savanna, Marl Flat, Independence Grove and the Native Seed Nursery. Joyce was a longtime volunteer with the Plants of Concern program, monitoring rare plants at Grant Woods. The data is held by the Chicago Botanic Garden. The results help the Forest Preserves understand regional trends in management needs. Conservation The Growing Through Change project at Grant Woods Forest Preserve earned the Conservation Award. The award recognizes an exceptional effort to acquire, re-
store, preserve, operate or develop unique or significant conservation and natural areas or programs. The Lake County Forest Preserves has launched a research project at Grant Woods to restore 180 acres of former farmland within the preserve using a climate-adapted, regionally sourced native seed mix. The project is supported by grants through the Preservation Foundation, the charitable partner of the Lake County Forest Preserves. These include a $1.1 million private donation and a $216,000 grant from the Wildlife Conservation Society Climate Adaptation Fund, which is made possible through the generous support of the Doris Duke Charitable Foundation. The goal of the project is to learn how to restore resilient native landscapes with plants that can withstand a shifting climate. The project also engages seed producers, conservation organizations, neighbors, volunteers, and landowners to build and sustain a demand for climate-adapted seed. Illinois’ climate is predicted to be similar to Oklahoma’s by the year 2050 and that of Texas by 2080, said Pati Vitt, manager of restoration ecology at the Lake County Forest Preserves. “The project will demonstrate if adaptability strategies using source-identified seeds from more southern and distant regions, coupled with hydroPHOTO COURTESY OF LAKE COUNTY FOREST PRESERVES Hi-Liter logical restoration, are as suc- Angelo Kyle, on right, president of the Lake County Forest Preserves, presents a cessful or more successful than proclamation honoring George and Joyce Proper for receiving a national award recstandard sourcing strategies.” ognizing their volunteer efforts.

Pritzker talks plans for Unemployment Trust Fund, pandemic response Governor kicked off second-term campaign with media tour last week
By Jerry Nowicki CAPITOL NEWS ILLINOIS
Gov. JB Pritzker isn’t considering using federal American Rescue Plan Act funding to pay down a multi-billion-dollar Unemployment Insurance Trust Fund deficit, and he’s watching the state’s COVID-19 hospitalization numbers closely. Those were two of the topics discussed during a 10-minute interview with Capitol News Illinois last week as part of a two-day media tour held by Pritzker after his July 19 announcement that he was seeking reelection in 2022. The reason Pritzker won’t consider using federal ARPA funds on the $4.2 billion Trust Fund deficit, he said, is because he did not believe it to be a permissible use of the funding, and he is hopeful that the federal government will provide aid or rule changes to accommodate the 17 states that have outstanding federal borrowing balances in their trust funds amounting to $54 billion cumulatively. “You can’t actually use ARPA funds according to the rules of ARPA. You can’t repay any debt that’s already owed to the federal government,” Pritzker said during the interview, citing the state’s initial plan to repay pandemic related Municipal
Liquidity Facility funding with the ARPA funds—a use later ruled impermissible. Interim U.S. Treasury rules for ARPA funding and the plans of dozens of other states, however, contradict the governor’s statement on the use of ARPA funds to repay the Unemployment Trust Fund deficit. The Associated Press reported on May 27 that “at least 29 states already have transferred or proposed to use a total of more than $12 billion of federal coronavirus aid for their unemployment trust funds.” Per the interim final rule, published May 17 in the Federal Register, “recipients may make deposits into the state account of the Unemployment Trust Fund … up to the level needed to restore the pre-pandemic balances of such account as of January 27, 2020, or to pay back advances received under Title XII of the Social Security Act.” “States facing a sharp increase in Unemployment Insurance claims during the pandemic may have drawn down positive Unemployment Trust Fund balances and, after exhausting the balance, required advances to fund continuing obligations to claimants,” the Treasury guidance reads. “Because both of these impacts were
driven directly by the need for assistance to unemployed workers during the pandemic, replenishing Unemployment Trust Funds up to the pre-pandemic level responds to the pandemic’s negative economic impacts on unemployed workers.” During a recent trip to Washington, D.C., Pritzker said, he spoke to President Joe Biden and Illinois’ congressional leaders to seek further federal assistance for the Trust Fund. He expounded on what changes might be possible. “Some of this has to do with whether or not there could be legislation that’s passed. And some of this is really changes in the rules that could be made,” he said. “Certainly, if we could extend the due date of the Trust Fund deficit to the federal government, that might be of assistance to us. So we’re looking at everything that’s available to us, because you know, all of us have the same goal, right, which is to get that deficit down without it being a burden to businesses or to workers.” Business groups last week called on Pritzker to reinstate more stringent work search requirements for Illinoisans who are on unemployment, to end a $300 federal monthly payment to unemployed individuals earlier than its
September end date, and to infuse the Trust Fund with federal ARPA dollars. Each state has an Unemployment Insurance Trust Fund account maintained by the U.S. Treasury but funded by the state’s businesses through insurance premiums collected via payroll taxes. The rates at which businesses pay into Illinois’ fund are determined by a complex statutory formula. The business community has warned that without a solution to the Trust Fund deficit, premium rates on employers could rise by the hundreds of millions, while unemployment benefits could decrease in the hundreds of millions come January. While use of the ARPA funding would have to be approved by lawmakers, Pritzker’s administration and former governors have generally been heavily involved in the negotiating process on unemployment issues. But Pritzker said he is hopeful federal action might come through before that time period. Earlier this month, Illinois’ U.S. Sen. Dick Durbin, a Democrat, said he expects Congress to begin debating the next steps on unemployment as the current federal boost to benefits ends in September. “The question is, where
will we be based upon the support that we may get from the federal government and the reduction of the number of people who are on unemployment? So we’ll have to see where that ends up,” Pritzker said. Expanded child care For his part, Pritzker said he has expanded child care availability in an effort to encourage a return to the workforce and alleviate stresses on the system. “The biggest thing that’s keeping many people from getting back to work is the fact that they have to handle child care. Sometimes it’s senior care. People who stepped out of their jobs because they needed to take care of somebody at home,” he said. “And so we’ve expanded massively the availability of child care, particularly for those up to $60,000 in earnings. … We now have available to people $1 a month child care, that’s for people who are at the poverty level and up to 250 percent of poverty level, people being able to pay only 7 percent of their earnings. So that’s a significant move forward to help people get back to work.” Monitoring COVID-19 As for the pandemic, Pritzker said his medical ad-
visers tell him the main fo cus for monitoring disease spread should be intensive care bed and hospital bed usage. But he has not set a concrete metric for those numbers that would trigger another round of mitigations. Those numbers were increasing statewide as of Wednesday night, although they were still far off pandemic highs. There were 119 ICU beds and 628 hospital beds in use by COVID-19 patients as of Wednesday. The state’s 3 percent case positivity rate was a high since May 7, five times its June 27 rate of 0.6 percent. The 1,993 new cases reported Thursday were a high since May 5. “What I can tell you is getting people vaccinated is the most important thing we can do right now, encouraging people to wear masks when they’re indoors in crowded areas, encouraging children who are under 12 to wear masks when they go to school, ask parents to have them wear masks when they go to school,” Pritzker said. “But unvaccinated people make up 99% of all the deaths that are occurring in the state of Illinois.” Still, the governor said he wasn’t considering vaccine passport requirements at this time.
Health Department urges COVID-19 precautions as cases increase Lake County positivity rate more than doubles since previous week cinations. As with other unvaccinated individuals, they remain especially vulnerable to COVID-19. The Lake County Health Department strongly recommends school districts begin the 2021–2022 school year with layered COVID-19 prevention strategies that are outlined in the updated CDC guidance for K-12 schools and adopted by the Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH). “Children, even if without symptoms and with lower risk for severe illness, are still able to become ill with COVID-19 and spread it to others,” said Pfister. “With younger children unable to be vaccinated at this time, layered prevention strategies are the best way to keep our young students safe throughout the school year and keep students in the classroom.” Combating Health
Misinformation The U.S. Surgeon General recently released an advisory on Confronting Health Misinformation, stating that “health misinformation is a serious threat to public health.” One recent widespread article by JAMA Pediatrics, claiming that masks are ineffective and harmful, was retracted due to insufficient evidence and flawed methodology. Before its retrac-
tion, this source was widely cited as evidence against the use of masks. This is just one example of health misinformation and the effect it can have. The Effectiveness of Masks to stop the spread of germs is well established by the CDC and other official sources. The CDC and IDPH have affirmed that unvaccinated individuals should continue to follow necessary prevention measures includ-

The Lake County Health Department is urging the public to take precautions to slow the resurgence of COVID-19. The majority of cases nationwide have been in unvaccinated individuals. “The entire State of Illinois is seeing a steady increase in cases and we need to be careful,” said Mark Pfister, Executive Director at the Lake County Health Department. “Prevention strategies that include vaccines, masks, and social distancing are our best defense against the COVID-19 virus and its variants.” Cases have been steadily increasing in Lake County over the past month, with Lake County’s positivity rate more than doubling in the last week. “As the Delta variant becomes more prevalent nationally, we are seeing that it spreads more easily than other variants,” said Dr. Sana Ahmed, Medical Epidemiologist at the Health Department. “New COVID-19 cases are being seen primarily among unvaccinated individuals and our younger population.” More than 739,000 doses of COVID-19 vaccine have been administered to Lake County residents, and over 51% are fully vaccinated. Additionally, 85% of Lake County residents age 65 and above have received at least one COVID-19 vaccine dose, and 80% are fully vaccinated. At this time children under the age of 12 are not eligible for COVID-19 vac-

CLC has a partnership with Lake Forest to offer several scholarship opportunities, but the Lake Forest Transfer Scholarship is available exclusively to CLC Scholar Program students. Worth $90,000, scholarships started paying off for Haass. He advises students to do the research, “You can’t expect everyone to tell you where the money is.” He also suggests students talk to their professors, “They want to get to know you, so show you’re interested in getting their help.” And finally, Haass recommends students get involved to make a name for themselves, “CLC has so many different opportunities.” His academic pursuit led him to study philosophy and later legal studies.

tending law school and the estimated salary he could expect. After doing his cost-benefit analysis of the 20 different law schools he applied to, Haass determined one of the top 30 law schools in the country, University of Illinois, was the best fit. It didn’t hurt that University of Illinois was one of the law schools to award him a fullride scholarship based on his GPA and LSAT score. Haass aspires to go into corporate “big” law where entry-level salaries start at $180,000 out of law school. He’s made some terrific financial decisions that will leave him with no college debt and excellent prospects as he starts his career. “I was a terrible student when I graduated from Stevenson High School,” Haass admits. But it makes his success story so much sweeter. “I turned my life around in a very serious way at CLC. The support and resources are there if you just go for it.” Haass continues working as a tutor at CLC this summer, giving back to help the community that has helped him so much. “The college is like a family to me. I feel at home here.”

“Every school I’ve attended has been tuition free.” That’s not something every student can say, but Ryan Haass touts the achievement proudly. The College of Lake County (CLC) graduate from Vernon Hills remembers spending hours and hours researching colleges and scholarships. The digging really paid off in the end because he will have received more than $200,000 in scholarships once he completes his law degree from the University of Illinois. “I can’t imagine having to pay those bills for my education,” he said. Haass started earning scholarships through CLC’s Honors Scholars program. In addition to other merit-based scholarships, he also received federal Pell grants through financial aid. Haass became involved at CLC. He competed with the speech team, led Phi Theta Kappa, edited the student newspaper and took a job as a tutor. He credits his involvement for building a network to open scholarship opportunities.

Aquanuts win world’s largest waterski tournament
On July 18th, The Aquanuts of Twin Lakes, Wisconsin won the won the World’s largest waterski tournament, the Wisconsin State Water Ski Tournament, for the first time in 35 years. The Aquanuts of Twin Lakes, Wisconsin have been skiing on the shores of Lake Mary for the past 49 years. In those 49 years, they have always been entertaining and talented, but wins have been hard to get to as clubs like the Rock Aquajays from Janesville and Mad City Ski Team from Madison who are much larger, have been the dominant big two for the past 20 years. On Sunday, July 18 in Wisconsin Rapids, WI, the Aquanuts were scheduled as the second team to ski, arriving at 5:30 a.m. to prepare for their show. The sun rose on the Aquanuts in more than just one way. Sunrise greeted a team that was amped up and ready to go. Lead by show directors Dan Boreman and Kailey Koehler, the Aquanuts unloaded the trailer, got the skis out, and with their 20-minute setup, had everything in place. The Aquanuts opened the show with a very difficult combination jump and backwards barefoot act. They followed with a flawless Ballet line and opening pyramid that set the tone for the day’s competition. The show closed out with three, four-high pyramids and thunderous cheers from the huge crowd. It was clear to the crowd and the team that the Aquanuts skied a great show. Twelve hours after the team arrived to unload their trailer of skis and props, most had stayed to watch all the other shows
and get the results before heading back to Twin Lakes. First came the scores for individual performances in several acts: Ballet Line , the winner, The Aquanuts; next came Barefoot, again the Aquanuts; Jump, The Aquanuts; Pyramid, the Aquanuts. In all, the Aquanuts took first in five of the eight categories as well as best Male Skier, Ethan Shulda, best Female Skier, Kailey Koehler, and best Trick Skier, Jared Meyer, but the tension was still there as those acts were only two-thirds of the entire team score. The bigger teams would likely add lots of total points from the other categories. As the 3rd place team, The Aquajays and then the 2nd place team Mad-City was announced, there was only the Aquanuts remaining as quiet nervousness became tears and celebratory screams. The team ran down to the podium, posed for a picture and the entire winning team jumped into the lake to celebrate. The Aquanuts final tournament of the year will be the Nationals Show Ski Championship the weekend of August 13-15th. The Aquanuts had a few days off to rest and relax as the Junior Team skied Wednesday, July 21, and the Aquanuts performed an exhibition as part of a Shred the Lake event in Twin Lakes on Saturday July 24. The full team returned to the water on Wednesday July 28 at 6p.m. A trophy presentation ceremony and ski show are schedule for Saturday July 31 in Twin Lakes at 6 p.m. Get the latest information at www.Aquanutwatershows. com or calling 866-Ski-Show.

Farming sisters prove ‘yes, you can grow lavender in Illinois’ By Katie Zelechowski ILLINOIS FARM BUREAU
Two sisters’ passion for agriculture and willingness to try new things led them to grow a crop not commonly found in Illinois: lavender. As the owners and operators of Tenderloin Farms in Edwardsville, Kim Hansen and Kris Straub have learned a lot about growing lavender on their family farm. And for the first time, they will open their farm this year for the public to learn more about the specialty crop. “We took over our farm when our parents died in 2016 and we decided to add our own little touch to the farm,” said Hansen. “It seems like every generation has added something new.” The farm dates back more than 100 years. And its name is a nod to the farm’s history. When Hansen and Straub were growing up, their father raised hogs and the girls showed the animals at county and state fairs. Before that, their great-grandfather owned dairy cows. Today, Hansen and Straub grow corn, soybeans and 1,000 lavender plants on the non-tillable portion of the farm. Straub said the sisters decided to add lavender to their operation because they enjoy working with flowers. “It was something we could do in our retirement years and have some fun with,” she said. “The farm is still in your blood,” Straub said. “It takes a lot of time, but it’s worth it.” Growing the crop has required experimentation. A test plot on the property helps the sisters determine which lavender varieties grow best. With more than 400 varieties of lavender to choose from, Hansen and Straub pay special attention to how the plants respond to differences in soil, moisture and access to shade. They typically plant 10 to 15 varieties each year. “There is no one around to talk to (or) get experience from,” Hansen said. “We’re still learning every day when we
work with the lavender.” Over time, they have learned that location is everything when it comes to growing the purple plants. While Illinois soils are rich with nutrients, lavender doesn’t do well during the hot, humid summer months. So, the growing season is focused to June. Many lavender varieties flower multiple times throughout the month, offering visitors the chance to pick their own stems while the farm is open each weekend from Friday to Sunday. “We’re sure not France; They can’t grow corn like we can and we can’t grow lavender like they can. But (growing lavender) is very unique and, yes, you can grow lavender in Illinois. It just takes a little bit — or a lot a bit — of trial and error,” Hansen said. See for yourself Visitors are invited to learn more about lavender as they walk through the U-pick fields and wildflower patches at Tenderloin Farms. Plot maps help guide people through more than 12 lavender varieties. Lavender plants that have been propagated from other locations on the property are available for purchase in the greenhouse. The old barn, once used for livestock, has been transformed into a farm store where visitors can purchase homemade, handcrafted lavender soaps, scrubs, candles and more. “There’s something for everybody to see here,” Straub said. While admission is free, reservations are encouraged. Register online at www.tfilavender.com and use the free coupon code “FREEVISIT.” For farm updates and information, visit their website at {tenderloinfarms.com} or follow them on Facebook and Instagram.

The public is invited to attend the informational meeting and we encourage feedback on the proposed new paratransit service. Information gathered will assist LCDOT in the development of
the final service that could begin as soon as 2022 pending Lake County Board approval. The meeting, which will include a presentation and opportunity to ask questions, will be held both in person and virtually through Zoom. A recording of the meeting will be posted on LCDOT’s website.

Lake County Clerk of the Circuit Court, Erin Cartwright Weinstein, in coordination with Lake County State’s Attorney, Eric Rinehart, are pleased to announce that this year’s Lake County Amnesty Week will be Monday, August 23 through Friday, August 27, 2021. During the week-long period, all collection fees and accrued interest will be waived on any past due fines owed on criminal and traffic matters in Lake County. Last year during Amnesty Week the county was able to waive over $575,000 in interest and
collections fees for individuals with outstanding balances and close out approximately 648 cases as paid in full. As the community continues to recover from challenges faced during the COVID-19 pandemic, the hope that providing this service may ease a little of the burden that some individuals who owe outstanding balances on criminal and traffic matters in Lake County. The Circuit Clerk’s Office will be offering online, phone and mail options for submitting Amnesty Week payments to their office.
While individuals are encouraged to use alternative means of submitting their payments they will still be accepting in-person payments at any of the branch locations in Mundelien, Park City, Round Lake and Waukegan. During Amnesty Week the in-person payment processing hours are from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. More information on Amnesty Week including payment options, instructions and branch locations can be found on the website at www.lakecountycircuitclerk.org/amnesty-week.

The Lake County Sheriff’s Office is pleased to announce a new partnership with Global Tel*Link (GTL) for inmates to have the ability to communicate with loved ones. After months of negotiations, the Lake County Sheriff’s Office reached a deal with GTL which results in significantly lower costs for inmates and their families. Additionally, those wishing to place funds on an inmate’s account will no longer have to pay any additional service fees. GTL will become the provider of the jail’s inmate communications services effected August 2, 2021, and this change results in no increase to Lake County taxpayers. The cost of making a domestic call will be $0.07/minute, down from $0.15/minute.
The cost of remote video-visitation will be $0.25/minute. Inmates will receive a free telephone call and a free remote video-visit per week, as part of the deal reached with GTL. These costs are among the lowest in the nation for inmate telecommunications. Sheriff John D. Idleburg added, “I believe it is incredibly important to be fair with everyone we serve. Not only does this include the public we encounter in the community on a day-to-day basis, but it includes the inmate population we are responsible for. Maintaining connections with family and loved ones is critical for inmates preparing to return to their community and this technology will help to maintain those connections without creating undue financial hardship.”
