SAFE-T Act changes head to Pritzker’s desk

Measure

expands list of crimes for which a judge can order pretrial detention, among other changes

By JERRY NOWICKI Capitol News Illinois

SPRINGFIELD – Lawmakers on Dec. 1 passed a long-awaited amendment to the SAFE-T Act criminal justice reform’s provisions that will eliminate cash bail when the calendar hits 2023.

The measure expands the list of crimes for which a judge can order pretrial detention, adds to what a judge can consider when determining if a defendant is a risk of willful flight from prosecution, and standardizes language re garding a defendant’s danger to the public safety among several other changes.

The measure will still end the existing wealth-based system of pretrial detention in favor of one based on an offender’s level of risk to the public or of fleeing prosecution.

It passed the Senate 38-17 just before 2 p.m., then passed the House 71-40 just before 5:30 p.m. It will still require a signature from the governor to become law.

Trade groups for state’s attorneys and law enforcement, as well as pretrial justice advocates who were on the other side of the issue, adopted a stance of neutrality.

For Dave Guenther, Christmas trees are serious businesses

By MICHAEL ROMAIN Editor

Community members who are still looking for real Christmas trees may be in for a bit of sticker shock this year. According to a recent survey of wholesale Christmas tree growers taken by the industry association Real Christmas Tree Board, 71% of growers who were surveyed said they expect to increase their wholesale prices by 5% to

15% compared to 2021, CNN re ported.

Dave Guenther, the owner of Ken’s Christmas Trees, said his company has been selling Christmas trees in Melrose Park for almost 55 years. The industry veteran, who said his company provided the White House with the national Christmas tree in 1976, said the price and availability of Christmas trees depend on multiple variables

“Right now, trees are very scarce,” Geunther, 65, said. “That’s due to a lot of different reasons. Fifteen years ago, there was a huge oversupply in the market, so the big growers were at a point where they were selling their trees to chain stores to get part of the money back — not as a profit. So, they readjusted their planting numbers to make the market numbers fit the demand.”

Geunther said, in addition to the market correction, supply has also

been shortened by the major North American drought that happened in 2012 and 2013, which “killed every tree that was planted, including all of the seedlings that were planted and half of the ones from the year before.”

Major wildfires in the Pacific Northwest in recent years have bur ned thousands of acres of mature Christmas trees, he added.

The Christmas trees arranged on the lot at 1101 W. North Ave. in Melrose Park, where Geunther is set up this year, range from six feet to 20 feet, with prices from around $65 to around $155. Prices vary depending on height, density and age, among other factors.

The lot is full of Balsam fir and Frazer fir, among other trees. The highest quality ones are dense and shaped to Christmas tree perfection.

TREES Shortage

The growing life

Geunther said it takes around four fulltime people to grow trees year-round and between 14 and 20 full-time and part-time workers to unload, set up and tear down. The process starts in November and the team is typically selling all the way until the day before Christmas. Guenther said he expects to sell out, just as he does year. Typically he sells anywhere from 5,000 to 10,000 Christmas trees wholesale and retail.

Geunther said, in addition to the Melrose Park base, he and his crew bounce around Chicago and the suburbs selling trees. But one of the headaches of the job is securing the base, where he’ll park the trailer that will be his home for the six weeks leading to Christmas. The process can take months of preparation, which nowad is increasingly frustrated by la layers of private bureaucracy

For the longest, Ken’s Christmas would be set up annually at Kiddieland before the park closed and Geunther moved across from the old Maywood racetrack. When that closed, he mo spot on Mannheim.

“You try not to move a lot, but you get in the parking lot and you’re there for 14 years and they build a McDonald’s there and move you out,” Geunther said.

“The thing is, all the property isn’t owned by mom-and-pop people anymore; it’s owned by conglomerates and corporations,” he added. “You call somebody and it’s a group of attorneys that own the mall and another group of attorneys in Detroit that manages

it, and the guy at the bottom just tells you no, because it would cost more for them even to hire a lawyer to draw the contract than they’d get from me in rent.”

Geunther said he secured his current North Avenue base of operations through

securing enough people to work, which as Geunther ages, is becoming increasingly necessary. When he was younger, the industry veteran said, he could do the work of multiple men. Now, he needs to find them.

The bill didn’t receive any Republican support.

Most of the language addressed several concerns cited by state’s attorneys and others, including worries that the original law’s vague wording could lead to mass release of individuals being held in lieu of bail when the calendar hits Jan. 1.

The new measure clarifies the changes that will apply to those charged with crimes after that date. Those who were held in lieu of bail before 2023 will be able to petition to have their case moved to the new system.

It adds clarifying language re garding part of the bill which some had read as preventing police from arresting a trespasser.

While it maintains language instructing officers to issue a citation in lieu of custodial arrest for cases below Class A misdemeanors, it also specifies that police

It adds hate crimes, felony animal tortur aggravated DUI causing bodily harm, DUI while operating a school bus and other DUI charges as detainable offenses if the defendant is deemed dangerous.

Republicans criticized the measure’s approach to the crime of bill states residential burglary or burglary “where there is use of force against another person” are detainable under the dangerousness standard. But if a burglary doesn’t meet those criteria, such as someone stealing change from an unlocked car, it’s not detainable based on an offender’s risk of danger to the community.

D209 seeks 5% tax levy

The full amount allowed under the state’s tax cap

By MICHAEL ROMAIN Staff Reporter

During a re gular meeting on Nov. 15, the Proviso Township High School District 209 school board voted 5-2 in favor of approving the administration’s recommended 5 percent tax levy, the maximum the district is allowed to levy under state’s tax cap law.

The board will officially adopt the levy, which is around half the district’s total revenue for the upcoming fiscal year, at its next meeting on Dec. 13.

Cedric Lewis, the district’s chief financial officer, said the 5 percent levy would amount to around $67 million in revenue from property taxes. Lewis said if the district doesn’t utilize the full amount it levies, then the administration plans to refund taxpayers.

“We’re asking for the 5 percent and then we’re going to turn around and refund part of the levy back to the community so we can lower our taxes,” Lewis told board members. “You have to capture the base; otherwise, the district loses the money for perpetuity.”

Board members Claudia Medina and Amanda Grant voted against the proposed levy, with Grant arguing that the district should be investing the funds in additional services instead of refunding the money “So instead of investing that money, as we have in the past, in infrastructure, teacher services and other educational services for our students, you are going to get the

full 5 percent so we capture that tax base and the plan is to refund that money [to families and businesses]?” Grant said.

Lewis said that if the board decides not to refund the money, then the administration won’t do so.

Board members who voted in favor of the 5 percent levy said that capturing the full amount makes sense in case the district needs to utilize more funds than it anticipated. School districts in Illinois must abide by the Property Tax Extension Limitation Law (PTELL), which caps their ability to raise property taxes at either the level of the change in the Consumer Price Index or 5 percent, whichever is smaller.

The school district adopted its budget for the 2022-23 school year on Sept. 27, with budgeted operating expenditures amounting to $101 million. District administrators said there’s an operating surplus of $20 million.

Medina said that the surplus is largely due to open staffing positions in a district that is bleeding teachers. Many teachers, students and community members have complained about the district’s low staffing and poor morale under Supt. James Henderson, which has resulted in class sizes of more than 40 students in some instances.

Cernan Center at Triton marks 50th anniversary of Apollo 17

Ear th and Space Center will run special exhibit through April 2023

By MICHAEL ROMAIN Editor

This year marks the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 17 mission — the last time humans walked on the Moon. Triton Colle ge’s Cer nan Earth and Space Center, named after the mission’s commander, Proviso Township High School graduate Eugene Cer nan, is marking the occasion with an exhibition that runs through April 10, 2023.

Cer nan grew up in nearby Maywood and Bellwood, and he graduated from what was then Proviso Township High School in 1952. He attended Purdue University, where he ear ned a bachelor’s de gree in electrical engineering. Cer nan died in 2017, in Houston, Texas

The Cer nan Center exhibit features an interactive activity presented on a large, flat-touch-screen-table, Triton of ficials said.

“The table will run a program called ‘Colonize Mars’ in which multiple users can work to develop a colony on Mars through several stages of objectives,” of ficials announced last month. “Players can work individually or together to build their colony as quickly as possible.”

The exhibit will also show attendees what Apollo astronauts ate and what equipment they relied on during missions. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) ran Project Apollo from 1961 to 1972.

During the Apollo 17 mission in December 1972, Cer nan left his footprints on the moon’s surface — the last astronaut to do so.

The exhibit has photos from that mission, along with a lunar sample, or moon rock, that the Apollo 17 crew collected. The moon rock is exhibited within a Lucite pyramid and sits on a lit pedestal, which NASA loaned to Triton. Nearby, various exhibits examine lunar geolo gy, the moon’s origin and the Apollo mission’s ef fect on popular culture.

Along with the exhibits, the Cer nan Center’s Planetarium will feature several shows, including “Dawn of the Space Age,” “Forward! To The Moon,” “One

The Triton Colle ge Cer nan Earth and Space Center is open Monday through Thursday, 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m.; Friday, 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m.; and Saturday, 6:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. The Cer nan Center is closed on Sundays
