Visit the Holiday Market through December 16 Riverwalk Shoppes hosting 3 more Saturday events this season
900 volunteers took part in the creation of this project. All that was left to do was to choose the 10 prospective businesses that would make these huts their first brick and mortar business homes.
by Sandra Landen Machaj correspondent
Tucked along the south end of Riverside Drive in McHenry sits a small group of white huts that offer a special shopping experience. As one meanders along, the 10 structures are revealed to be small businesses offering a variety of products that are unique, most created by hand. Although all the huts are small, once inside it becomes clear they offer a distinctly different shopping experience from special decorations to the products. Most of the businesses carry handmade items not normally found in traditional stores. There is quite the variety of products in The Riverwalk Shoppes – a new addition to the McHenry business community. “The idea for the Riverwalk shopping district originally came from Carl Vallinatos,” said Molly Ostap, president of the McHenry Area Chamber of Commerce. “Vallinatos, assistant superintendent of the McHenry High School District – and a chamber board member – saw a similar program while visiting in Batavia.” The idea of a retail incubator program in McHenry seemed as if it would be a good fit for the community.

The Riverwalk Shoppes are hosting their inaugural Holiday Market on Saturday’s through Dec. 16. In addition to the 10 tiny heated shops, there are holiday market vendors, food trucks and other special events next door at All Marine’s Retro Rentals. Normal hours are Friday and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. The Riverwalk District is located at 1202 Riverside Drive, McHenry.
Vallinatos presented the idea of a collaborative project with the City of McHenry, the chamber and the high school. While projects of this nature don’t always move quickly, this one did. Within a month, by May 2021, a joint committee was formed to develop the McHenry Riverwalk Shoppes. A site was subsequently chosen, located at the end of Riverside Drive, along the Miller Point Park area. It’s a picturesque location, along
Boone Creek just before it empties into the Fox River. By spring 2022, a logo had been created by two McHenry High School students and a design for the buildings that would be used as small retail outlets was completed. “There were two different sizes of buildings that would be available to the businesses who wished to be part of the program. A 12x12 foot building and a slightly larger one of 12x16 feet,” Amy Humbracht, manager of the McHenry Riv-
erwalk Shoppes, said. “The larger huts would be charged $4,750 rent for the entire 2023 program while the smaller ones would rent for $4,000.” Community project It was decided to build 10 shoppes in all, five of each size. The creation of the Riverwalk Shoppes would truly become a community project. High school shop students began to build the walls and ceiling joists, which were later taken to the construction

Professional contractors and architects also donated their time to the project. By spring of 2023 the buildings were complete, with heat and air conditioning in each unit. In all, more than 36 professional contractors and
Support for success According to Humbracht, the purpose of the project was to give new businesses a chance to see if they were a good fit for McHenry and if they were ready to manage a business. The businesses had to apply to the committee to be considered for the project. Most had never had a brickand-mortar store but were involved in creating new and unique products which they had been successfully selling at venues such as craft fairs and online. Others had stores in another community and were looking to see if expanding to this area was a smart business move. Providing a home for the business was not the only benefit for being in the program according to Humbracht. They were also provided a wealth of information necessary to be successful in business. “There are retail workshops that mentor the owners, teaching them skills such as tax laws, marketing strategies and merchandising,” Humbracht said. “All skills that are needed for success in business.” She said the shop owners

Candidate filing began Monday, signaling official start of 2024 election cycle Party candidates will file petitions to get on the 2024 primary ballot 5 p.m. This pool of candidates is entered into a lottery to be at the bottom of the list in their respective races. Candidates can file petitions to be on the ballot from Nov. 27 through Dec. 4 at the elections office for any of the 17 U.S. House of Representatives seats, 141 Illinois General Assembly seats or 77 judicial vacancies. After filing, the board opens a period for challenges to candidate petitions. Typically, opponents or party operatives will attempt to knock a newcomer off the ballot for signatures that may not have been collected properly, or in some cases are proven to be fraudulent. The board will certify the primary ballot at its January meeting and the primary election is scheduled for March 19. This filing day signals a return to normal from the last state election cycle, which

A new case management system will change the way court information is developed and shared within Lake County through a new Integrated Case Management System (ICMS). In late October, the Nineteenth Judicial Circuit Court and Lake County Circuit Clerk, Public Defender and State’s Attorney offices rolled out the new system that will reduce delays, errors, and limitations associated with paper files and improve customer service. The new suite of tools will make information more accessible to the public. Individuals will be able to obtain additional data and documents about court cases and court calls from their homes and offices without the need to travel to the courthouse for basic services. The public also can pay court-ordered fines and fees online 24 hours a day. Attorneys will have an enhanced level of access to their cases. “In Lake County, it is critically important that all residents have access to justice regardless of their ability to come in person,” said Lake County Board Chair Sandy Hart. “We want to ensure the promises and protections of our criminal and civil legal system to all residents in every community.” Since 1997, justice partners had
been using a system that could no longer support the court system’s needs for data sharing. The new web browser-based system can be configured to meet the needs of all stakeholders. In 2015, the justice partners began pursuing a new ICMS platform. Journal Technologies was one of eight vendors that responded to the Request for Proposal (RFP) issued in 2017. In 2019, the Lake County Board approved Journal Technologies as the vendor to implement the new ICMS. “This new digital docketing system will allow us to better serve victims and survivors. It will allow us to incorporate a texting system for victims and witnesses that was granted to us in 2022 by the Illinois legislature. It will also allow our office to better capture data so that we can secure even more grants and better inform the public of larger trends in the justice system,” Lake County State’s Attorney Eric Rinehart said. Todd Schroeder, Executive Director of the Nineteenth Judicial Circuit stated, “Our circuit court is excited to welcome eCourt which will provide judges, attorneys, and litigants with access to real-time case information and documents 24 hours a day and provide opportunities

I cannot thank the Court’s eCourt team enough for their tireless efforts these past couple years to make this new system a reality for everyone.” Historical cases from the previous system have been migrated to the new system. Access to restricted case types will be allowed only for registered attorneys-of-record on the case. “My staff has worked tirelessly for several years developing a system designed to provide us with the information needed to effectively represent our clients. We are ready to see these plans become a reality and are excited by the system’s capabilities,” said Joy Gossman of the Lake County Public Defender’s Office. “We are excited to announce the new system will be up and running on October 30. This has been a goal of mine since the first day I stepped foot in the Circuit Clerk’s Office, and I am so happy to have brought it to fruition,” said Lake County Clerk of the Circuit Court Erin Cartwright-Weinstein. “My staff has worked hard and have shown true leadership throughout the process. This will change the way the courts do business and provide better access to justice for all users.”

thrilled to welcome candidates and their agents as they file their nominating petitions to become an official candidate for the general primary election. This filing period signifies their commitment to the democratic process,” said County Clerk Anthony Vega. The Lake County Clerk’s Office will be open to receive candidate petitions on weekdays from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. until December 4, 2023. It’s important for candidates for other public offices to check with their local administrators regarding filing requirements and office hours. The primary aim of the Lake County Clerk’s Office at this time is to ensure a smooth and accessible filing process for all candidates. For further information or inquiries regarding the petition filing process, candidates are encouraged to contact the Lake County Clerk’s Elections Department via email at Elections@lakecountyil.gov or by phone at (847) 377-Vote (8683).

McHenry County Sheriff’s Office is offering free snowmobile courses on December 16 and January 20. This one-day course is required for all Illinois residents aged 1216, or those without a valid driver’s license. Classes are free and open to the public. The course includes instruction on safe operation, rules of the road, snowmobile law, first aid, proper riding techniques and related topics to help the snowmobiler operate safely. Classes take place on Saturdays from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. at McHenry County Sheriff’s Office, 2200 N. Seminary Avenue, Woodstock, in the large classroom.

supermarkets.” On the podcast in September, Dietrich emphasized that the work of running elections is largely decentralized; the Board of Elections only provides administrative support to Illinois’ 108 local election authorities. ”They do all of the voter registration, they do all of the voter list maintenance on a daily basis, they recruit the election judges, they rent out the polling places,” he said. One increased security measure requires that no one except Board of Elections employees and candidates filing their signatures will be allowed in the petition filing room next week. The 2024 Illinois general primary election is March 19. Registered voters can begin requesting mail-in ballots Dec. 20, according to the Illinois State Board of Elections calendar.

Election security Even before petitions are filed, election authorities in Illinois are trying to get ahead of both conspiracy theories and genuine questions about election security and integrity that have continue to circulate and evolve on social media during the past several election cycles.
In late September a number of downstate county clerks hosted a series of coordinated news conferences to send the message that if constituents are concerned about election integrity, they should visit their local county clerk’s office to learn how the process is actually handled from start to finish. In a Capitol Cast interview this fall, Tazewell County Clerk John Ackerman said that since 2016, county clerks throughout the state of Illinois have seen “unprecedented attention focused on elections.” “A lot of misinformation [is] being placed out there,” Ackerman said. “Two presidential cycles in a row. Before we got to the third one, if you just keep doing the same thing, you’ll get the same result.” Ackerman said he tries to tell people, “you know who we are, we’re in the community, our kids go to the same schools, we shop at the same

was slowed by delays in 2020 U.S. Census data that caused a chain reaction—slowing the process of redistricting in 2021 and changing Illinois’ typical mid-March primary to a June primary last year. Instead of the usual November candidate filing in 2021, the Board of Elections pushed it to March 2022. Dietrich said it was necessary as candidates needed the new maps—which had been challenged in court—finalized before they could start passing petitions for the new districts they sought to run in.

Monday morning, Nov. 27, marked the official beginning of the 2024 election cycle in Illinois, opening up the weeklong period when candidates for local, state, congressional and judicial races are required to turn in the signatures they’ve spent the last two months collecting to get on the ballot. The first day of petition filing has traditionally taken on a party atmosphere, as candidates and staff line up outside the Illinois State Board of Elections office in Springfield, where the line often reaches past the Chuck E. Cheese storefront, roughly 100 yards down from the board’s entrance in the capital city strip mall. Those who got in line before 8 a.m. are entered into a lottery drawing to be placed atop the ballot for their respective position. The lottery
drawing is scheduled for Dec. 13. Though many candidates line up before filing opens, elections board spokesperson Matt Dietrich said he hasn’t seen any studies that prove being first on a primary ballot actually provides any advantage. “Primary voters tend to be the most informed voters,” he said. “So these are the voters are most likely to know which candidates are on their primary ballot and they’re the voters who are most likely to have already made up their minds before they go into the polling place.” Still, “political candidates, if they sense that there may be any type of advantage to something, they’ll go out of their way,” Dietrich said. Some candidates also try for another myth of advantage by waiting until the last hour of the last day of the filing period, Monday Dec. 4 from 4 to

also meet regularly to discuss challenges as well as the positives of their business experiences. There were many applications submitted by vendors, beginning in August 2022, hoping to receive a space in the “first class” of the business incubator program. By December, the 10 vendors had been chosen for the opening year. The programs began in May 2023 with support classes and the businesses opened their doors in July, slightly later than expected. The businesses will remain open through December and support classes will continue throughout the program. Special gifts galore Those looking for a friendly and interesting place to shop for a unique gift, special accent for a home, a new book to read or gift, or fresh homemade bread, should consider stopping at McHenry Riverwalk Shoppes. With Christmas just around the corner the shoppes are an ideal place to find gifts not usually found at online stores or even traditional stores in the area. The 10 businesses chosen by the committee from the many applications are: Sub Urban Design, The Bumble Bread Company, Vintage Mercantile Artisan Market, Hair Flextensions, Mad Soyentist, Bright Nest, Lumber & Twine, Little Bean Books, The Trend Cellar, and Rustic and Reclaimed Market. Angela Burns, owner of Little Bean Books, took the plunge to be part of the business incubator program here in McHenry. “I own a bookstore and a coffee shop in Antioch and was looking to expand to an
additional location,” she said. In her shop there are displays of popular children’s and adult books waiting to make their way into home libraries. She changes the display of books frequently so regular shoppers can check out her latest selections. Most people love freshly baked bread, cinnamon rolls and cookies so it isn’t surprising that tucked in one of the Riverwalk huts is The Bumble Bread Company. It’s owned by Danny Springer of McHenry who creates his products in a professional kitchen in McHenry. Known for his specialty breads, cinnamon rolls and cinnamon roll cookies, it’s difficult to leave his shop without making a purchase. Springer said he hopes to open a permanent store front in McHenry. Sub Urban Design is the work of Kristina and Nick Dillard. “Aged items maintain their value and only need a little help to become beautiful again,” Kristina explained. She said she finds old pieces of furniture and refinishes them in new and interesting ways. She has a travel trunk that was used by the singer Sting when he was touring that’s been transformed into a unique portable bar. Beautifully refinished China cabinets and handmade wine racks are on display, the latter of which would make a suitable gift for Christmas among many other occasions. The Trend Cellar is a skate shop owned by Carol Chrisman and run by her 17-yearold grandson, Trevor Chrisman. “I began skateboarding at 11 years of age.

nalized intersections and added pedestrian and bicycle accommodations, including a pedestrian underpass and paved walkways. Construction for the second phase is scheduled to begin in 2024. Randall Road Northern Segment Project
is more than road widening with plans to construct multi-use paths, transit improvements, as well as sidewalk accommodations along with ADA improvements. You can learn more about the project at https://www. mchenrycountyil.gov/de-
partments/transportation/ projects/randall-road-northern-segment, and you can follow the Division of Transportation on Facebook at www.facebook.com/McHenryCountyDOT to stay abreast of construction projects on county highways.

Iowa-Illinois carbon dioxide pipeline application withdrawn Wolf Carbon Solutions ‘remains committed’ to the project, plans to refile application By Andrew Adams Capitol News Illinois
Plans for a pipeline that would have transported carbon dioxide from Iowa for eventual storage in central Illinois are off the table for now. Wolf Carbon Solutions, the company behind the proposed project, filed a motion with state regulators on Nov. 20 to withdraw its application, although Wolf’s president said the company intends to file a new application in the future. “We have made the decision to withdraw our current application, with the intent to refile in early 2024, to address the questions and concerns raised by ICC staff in their recommendation.” Wolf President Dean Ferguson said in a statement. Ferguson also noted that the company “remains committed” to the project and that it will continue going through regulatory processes in Iowa and with the Army Corps of Engineers. While portions of the pipeline’s plan have yet to be finalized, it was generally proposed to run from two ethanol production facilities owned by Archer Daniels Midland in Iowa and terminate near Decatur, home to ADM’s North American headquarters. According to the initial plan filed with the ICC, the pipeline would have run southeast from the Iowa border through Rock Island, Henry, Stark, Peoria, Tazewell, Logan, DeWitt and Macon counties. Wolf’s withdrawal comes a few weeks after staff at the Illinois Commerce Commission, the agency responsible for overseeing such projects, recommended the state reject the project application. Brett Seagle, an engineer in the ICC’s safety and reliability division, said in written testimony that Wolf had not yet identified a specific enough location for the pipeline, had not finalized its business arrangement with ADM, nor had it filed appropriate paperwork with

Regional Training Center celebrates grand opening McHenry County Sheriff’s Office, in conjunction with the McHenry County Board, Village of Cary, Cary Police Department, Algonquin Police Department, McHenry Police Department, and Lake in the Hills Police Department, celebrated the grand opening of the McHenry County Regional Training Center with a ribbon cutting ceremony on November 8. McHenry County Chairman Mike Buehler, Village of Cary Mayor Mark Kownick, and Sheriff Robb Tadelman had the opportunity to speak on the official opening of the training center. Mayor Kownick made note of McHenry County municipalities’ unique ability to collaborate, making this multijurisdictional center possible. Father Keith Romke performed the invocation, blessing the facility and asking for the safety of all McHenry County first responders. McHenry County Regional Training Center is a law enforcement training center with 10,000 square feet of educational space including two classrooms, a mat room, and two conference rooms. The
building, which was once Cary Village Hall and police station, underwent a complete renovation, turning administrative offices into a state-of-the-art training center. Previously, McHenry County police officers would travel across Chicagoland for trainings, often disrupting shift schedules and compiling costs. Sheriff Tadelman explained that “with the McHenry County Regional Training Center, we can keep McHenry County police officers trained to high standards efficiently and affordably by hosting trainings in their backyard.” Retired Sheriff Bill Prim and Cary Police Chief Patrick Finlon were also in attendance and received honorary plaques for their contributions to making this idea a reality. McHenry County Regional Training Center hosted its first classes in early October. McHenry County Regional Range, which is a complimentary building to the training center, is expected to open in the spring of next year.

federal authorities. “The proposed project is not a benefit to the citizens of Illinois, nor is it in the public interest,” he wrote. Seagle further urged the commission to consider the “overwhelmingly negative public sentiment” toward the project. That sentiment is being driven, in part, by the work of activists who have engaged in a months-long campaign against the pipeline. Joyce Harant, president of advocacy group Citizens Against Predatory Pipelines, said that safety was a top concern for herself and residents along Wolf’s proposed route. “While they (Wolf) scramble to come up with ways to paint this pipeline as safe, we will continue our work to ensure communities across Illinois are aware of the dangers of this project and are prepared to fight back,” Harant said in a Tuesday news release. While Harant said that her group is gearing up to oppose the pipeline if Wolf returns and files a new application in the new year, she’s worried about the potential costs of an entirely new proceeding. “They know they’ve got the financial backing and we’re the regular old citizens,” Harant said in an interview. “We can’t get the legal fees back that we’ve had to pay.” The proposed project, called the Mt. Simon Hub, was named for the unique geology in central and southern Illinois that facilitates underground carbon dioxide storage. Carbon capture and storage have become hot button issues. Some view carbon storage as a promising way to mitigate climate harms, while others view it as a dangerous technology that promises more than it can deliver. Ferguson, in his Monday statement, said that the project would employ “the latest technology and union construction to ensure its
safe and efficient operation.” ICC filings on behalf of the company also stressed that the project would meet or exceed federal safety requirements. Wolf’s efforts are not the only carbon capture project that’s faced opposition in recent months. In October, another carbon dioxide pipeline was entirely canceled following opposition from the public and from regulators. That project, from Navigator CO2, faced opposition on similar grounds as the Wolf pipeline – and also faced opposition from ICC staff. Pam Richart is the president of the Coalition to Stop CO2 Pipelines, which supported Harant’s organization as well as a similar group formed to oppose the Navigator pipeline. Richart said that the regulations surrounding carbon capture are inadequate, given the relatively new nature of the technology and the dangers associated with pipeline ruptures. In 2020, hundreds were forced to evacuate, and dozens were sent to the hospital after a carbon dioxide pipeline ruptured in Satartia, Mississippi. In response, the federal Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration began a process of reevaluating safety rules for CO2 pipelines. Those rules are not expected to be finalized until at least October 2024, one reason Richart and others in Illinois are working with lawmakers to institute a moratorium on carbon dioxide pipeline construction until more regulations are finalized. Richart also expects to spend the spring working with lawmakers and representatives of the carbon capture industry on a “comprehensive” set of regulations for Illinois, although she said that could take more time. “There’s a lot of gaps between where we are and where industry is,” she said.

Court & crime news
Man sentenced to 99 years for shooting two men On November 21, a man was sentenced to a total of 99 years in the Department of Corrections for shooting two men outside a Jorge Medina Waukegan restaurant, leaving one dead. Jorge Medina, 20, was convicted of First-Degree Murder and Attempt Murder, on August 31, 2023. “Violent offenders have no place in our community. Mr. Medina and his accomplice will be incarcerated for decades in response to this premediated and planned assassination. Our experienced trial team did an outstanding job of securing justice and safety for those impacted by this horrific crime. Our hearts break for the family of the victim, and we will support them for as long as they need,” said State’s Attorney Eric Rinehart after the sentencing. On May 29, 2022, Waukegan Police Officers responded to a report of persons shot near a local restaurant parking lot. When officers arrived, they found two men with gunshot wounds. One survived and the other, later identified as Stefan Filipovic, succumbed his injuries later that day in the hospital. Through an extensive in-
vestigation, it was learned that Fernando Andino, 19, was at the restaurant earlier that day with four other friends when he saw Stefan. Andino mistook Stefan’s identity for someone who Andino and his friends had previously argued with. At Medina’s trial, Andino testified that he felt threatened when he saw Stefan (who he thought was someone else) and made the decision to summon Medina, who he knew owned a firearm and lived nearby. During the sentencing hearing, Judge Daniel Shanes heard from the Stefan’s mother. She described Medina’s actions as “vicious” and “thoughtless.” The victim’s mother emphasized that her son had a bright future which had been destroyed simply because Medina and Andino thought he was someone else. Assistant State’s Attorney Lauren Kalcheim Rothenberg stated that Medina perpetrated a cold-blooded and calculated attack when he decided to shoot two people who had their backs towards him, at a restaurant, in broad daylight. Ms. Kalcheim Rothenberg also pointed out that Medina’s actions threatened others in the area. She argued that a large sentence would be necessary to deter others from committing such shocking acts.
Inmate found deceased in his cell
On November 21, around 6:50 a.m., while a corrections officer was conducting routine cell checks, a 51-year-old male inmate was found unresponsive in his single-occupied cell at McHenry County Adult Correctional Facility. Corrections officers and Woodstock Fire/Rescue attempted life-saving measures without success, and he was pronounced deceased at the scene. The deceased has been identified as Sean Grendel of McHenry. An autopsy was scheduled to be performed. All preliminary findings and toxicology will be considered pending and under investigation following the autopsy. The Coroner’s Office is working collaboratively with MIAT, McHenry County Corrections and McHenry County Sheriff’s Office during the investigation.
