Treat your family this year to a ‘Christmas Vacation’ they won’t forget at Volo Museum
Above: The Griswold family truckster from the 1983 movie “National Lampoon’s Vacation” will be part of Volo Museum’s “National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation” holiday display starting Dec. 4. The exhibit also will feature a photo-op backdrop of the RV from the “Christmas Vacation” installment of the National Lampoon’s series. Left: Volo Museum Director Brian Grams talks about how he located and purchased the 1959 Corvette that featured in the 1978 hit movie “Animal House.”

Smith wanted his six-figure payment in cash — specifically in $100 bills — even though the car’s keys were misplaced and the car hadn’t run since the 1980s. Still, there’s much to love for Grams, including the transportation coordinator-signed copy of the original film script that came with it, and the Oct. 24, 1977, dated Universal City Studios receipt for four weeks of rental, along with a copy of the $400 check written to Smith. Additionally, Grams said, the car has great value both as a verified piece of movie history and as a solid 1959 model featuring a dual quad high-performance engine and original paint. “Corvette people are purists,” he said. “They love original paint, even if it does have a few battle scars.” Visitors can enjoy the National Lampoon’s Christmas display — along with all of the other star cars, vintage muscle cars and numerous other attractions that now make up the museum — from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily. Regular admission is $12.95 for children ages 5 to 12 and free for those 4 and younger. Adult admission is $19.95. Those wishing to add a visit to the adjacent Jurassic Gardens indoor dinosaur park can buy a combo ticket for $24.95 for children ages 5 to 12 or $31.95 for adults. Combo tickets are good for both parks for two consecutive days. State COVID guidelines are in place. For other details, visit volocars.com, find Volo Auto Museum or Jurassic Gardens on Facebook, or call 815-385-3644.

Bluto Blutarsky, meet Clark Griswold: The Volo Museum is tipping its Santa hat to a trio of National Lampoon’s film faves this holiday season, and you’re invited to the festive fun. “We’re transforming the entryway to Showroom 1 into a temporary tribute to National Lampoon’s bestloved films,” said Brian Grams, director of the museum at 27582 Volo Village Road. “We’ve got the 1959 Corvette from ‘Animal House,’ the family truckster from ‘Vacation’ and a ‘Christmas Vacation’ RV photo op backdrop your cousin Eddie will love.” The Corvette — which featured prominently in the 1978 breakout Belushi hit “Animal House” and in posters marketing the movie — spent decades in a pole barn near Eugene, Oregon, where the movie was filmed. Grams said its previous owner, Paul Smith, bought it in 1975 as a gift for his wife. But neither liked the car much, so it sat, accumulating only about 200 miles on the odometer since ’75, most of those during filming in 1977. “Paul’s an old-time drag racer and car guy,” Grams said. “He used to scout cars for film projects, and he offered his ’vette when the producers of ‘Animal House’ were looking.” Purchased this fall, the film-famous car makes its Volo Museum debut in the tribute display Saturday, Dec. 4, Grams said. The exhibit will remain on view until Jan. 2, 2022. The road to procuring the “Animal House” Corvette was a winding one. Grams said the mercurial Mr.

Democrats deny racial gerrymandering in legislative maps Court documents set the stage for oral arguments starting Dec. 7
By Peter Hancock CAPITOL NEWS ILLINOIS
Lawyers for the General Assembly’s Democratic leaders filed documents in federal court last week, denying that newly drawn state legislative district maps amount to racial gerrymandering—instead accusing the plaintiffs in the three lawsuits of trying to use race to redraw districts for their own purposes. The filings are the Democrats’ response to proposed changes in the district maps submitted recently by Republican leaders, a Latino advocacy group in Chicago and Black civil rights groups in the Metro East region. A three-judge federal court panel in Chicago is scheduled to hear oral arguments in the three separate cases starting Tuesday, Dec. 7. The new maps will determine how communities across the state are represented in the General Assembly in Springfield for the next 10 years. Due in large part to the pandemic, the U.S. Census Bureau did not release official, detailed numbers from
the 2020 census until mid-August. Lawmakers then called a special session to adjust the initial maps they had approved in the spring—maps that were based on population estimates from survey data— and passed a new set of maps Aug. 31. Pritzker signed them into law Sept. 24. Among other things, the census numbers showed Illinois had lost population overall since the 2010 census. But there had been a substantial increase in the state’s Latino population while Black and white populations both declined. In separate suits, Republican leaders and the Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund, or MALDEF, both argued that despite the growth in the Latino population, the new maps actually reduce the number of districts in which Latinos make up a majority, or a large plurality, of the voting age population. They argued that violates both the U.S. Constitution and the federal Voting Rights Act of 1965. In another suit, the East St.
Louis Branch of the NAACP, along with the NAACP’s state chapter and the United Congress of Community and Religious Organizations, argued that in the Metro East area, concentrated areas of Black voters were split into three separate House districts solely for the purpose of protecting white Democratic incumbents. All three suits name Senate President Don Harmon, of Oak Park, House Speaker Emanuel “Chris” Welch, of Hillside, and the Illinois State Board of Elections as defendants. In their court filing, however, lawyers for the Democratic leaders denied any constitutional or legal violation. “The September Redistricting Plan ... protects minority voting strength and provides Hispanic and Black voters more than an equal opportunity to elect candidates of their choice,” their brief states. “The three plaintiffs have failed to provide evidence to support otherwise and have not demonstrated that the September Redistricting Plan
violates the Voting Rights Act or the U.S. Constitution.” Earlier last month, the three sets of plaintiffs submitted their proposed revisions to the maps. MALDEF proposed changes in the Chicago area that would create 10 largely-Latino districts in the Chicago area, while Republicans proposed creating an 11th Latino district in Aurora. The NAACP plaintiffs and the Republicans both proposed redrawing the Metro East region to create a largely-Black House district in East St. Louis. In their response, however, the Democratic leaders argue that none of those proposals overlap with each other and that each would have ripple effects that would affect neighboring districts that have not been contested. “In other words, plaintiffs have proposed three competing remedial plans, with no proposal for reconciling the differences,” attorneys for the Democrats wrote. In northwest Chicago, the Democrats argue, the proposed MALDEF plan would
create one Latino Senate district and three Latino House districts by reconfiguring districts that are already Latino majority districts while at the same time reducing Latino influence in another Senate district that has elected a Latino since 2003. They argue that the proposed changes were based entirely on race and that the plaintiffs “do not even attempt to articulate another reason for their proposed changes.” The Republican proposal, Democrats argue, “purports to fix a racial gerrymander on the northwest side by itself racially gerrymandering Latinos in and out of districts and politically gerrymandering throughout the region.” Further, they argue, the GOP plan “moves population in and out of neighboring districts to benefit the Republican incumbent in (House District) 20 (Rep. Bradley Stephens) and give the Republicans a better opportunity to win HD 48 and HD 56.” In southwest Chicago, Democrats argue, lawmakers tried to balance a number of
competing requests from different communities, including a request to establish an Asian American influence district in the area known as Chinatown as well as a Latino district in the neighboring area known as Little Village. “The General Assembly, understanding the different political factions in this area, worked to carefully balance the interest of progressive and moderate factions in separate Senate and House districts to reduce political infighting among Latino groups,” lawyers for the Democrats wrote. In the Metro East region, the Democrats said they “do not dispute that partisanship played a central role in drawing these districts.” “As the region has become more politically polarized, the Democrats in the General Assembly prioritized protecting the Democratic members elected in Republican southern Illinois, including the preservation of two districts that have elected Black Democrats for more than 40 years,” they wrote.
LCFP awarded AAA bond rating saving taxpayers $1.5 million The Lake County Forest Preserves has been awarded the AAA bond rating by Moody’s Investors Service, one of the top credit rating agencies in the world. The agency is nationally recognized by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission for issuing credit ratings on the debt of public and private companies, and on governments. The AAA rating, the highest possible, indicates that an entity has an extremely strong capability to meet its debt obligations. Of the 250 rated recreation districts nationwide, the Lake County Forest Preserves is one of only a handful rated AAA. In determining the top
rating, the agency looked favorably at the Forest Preserves long-term financial planning as a relevant management policy. “It is thanks to the conservative approach of the Board of Commissioners that our financial position has been and continues to be strong,” said Stephen Neaman, director of finance for the Lake County Forest Preserves. The Lake County Forest Preserves received its first AAA rating from Moody’s in 2003, and has continuously maintained it ever since. The importance of the AAA rating was highlighted on November 3, when the Forest Preserves sold a $14.9 million series of bonds
to refinance $16.9 million of its outstanding bond issues. The sale resulted in about $1.6 million in total savings in tax levies through 2033. Interest rates averaged just above 1.42%. The savings are worth about $1.5 million in today’s dollars. “This excellent rate is due to the AAA rating,” Neaman said. “Over the past eight years, refinancing these bonds has saved taxpayers about $26.5 million with the inclusion of this issue,” Neaman said. “County residents will see these savings reflected on their property tax bills since debt repayment is not part of

the operating tax levy of the Forest Preserves,” said Angelo Kyle, president of the Lake County Forest Preserves. “We will continue to plan for fiscally responsible decisions in an effort to determine the best course of action moving forward. The ultimate goal is to maintain the fiscal and environmental health of the Lake County Forest Preserves,” he said. “We are a top conservation agency and the second-largest Forest Preserve District in Illinois,” said Executive Director Alex Ty Kovach. “Careful stewardship of every dollar is a key factor that helps us keep this position. We maintain sound reserves, long-term replacement funds, moderate debt, and a AAA bond rating. Lake County taxpayers and residents deserve both environmental and fiscal responsibility from their Lake County Forest Preserves.”

Sheriff’s detectives investigating Lake County Sheriff’s arrest bulletin aggravated vehicular hijacking bearing Illinois Registration BU47018, and drove away in an unknown direction. The other man fled, likely in an escape vehicle. The victim was treated by paramedics at the scene for the injuries he sustained, but he was not transported to the hospital. Lake County Sheriff’s Detectives are investigating.
Lake County Sheriff’s Office K9s receive donation of body armor Lake County Sheriff’s Office K9s Ryker, Danno, Dax and Duke will receive bullet and stab protective vests thanks to a charitable donation from non-profit organization Vested Interest in K9s, Inc. The vests are embroidered with the sentiment “Honoring “Blue Paws Strong”.” Delivery is expected within eight to ten weeks.
Vested Interest in K9s, Inc., established in 2009, is a 501(c)(3) charity whose mission is to provide bullet and stab protective vests and other assistance to dogs of law enforcement and related agencies throughout the United States. This potentially lifesaving body armor for four-legged K9 officers is U.S. made, custom fitted, and NIJ certified. Since its inception, Vested Interest in K9s, Inc. has provided over 4,450 vests to K9s in all 50 states at a value of $6.9 million, made possible by both private and corporate donations. The program is open to U.S. dogs that are at least 20 months old and actively employed and certified with law enforcement or related agencies. K9s with
expired vests are also eligible to participate. There are an estimated 30,000 law enforcement K9s throughout the United States. Sheriff John D. Idleburg said, “Our canines are an incredible asset to Lake County. We want to ensure our fourlegged deputies have all the protection possible and we are very grateful to Vested Interest in K9s, Inc. for helping make this possible.” Vested Interest in K9s, Inc. accepts tax-deductible contributions in any amount, while a single donation of $960 will sponsor one vest. Each vest has a value of $1,744-$2,283, weighs an average of 4-5 lb., and comes with a five-year warranty. For more information, or to learn about volunteer opportunities, please call 508-824-6978. Vested Interest in K9s, Inc. provides information, lists events, and accepts donations at www.vik9s.org, or you may mail your contribution to P.O. Box 9, East Taunton, MA 02718.
