Volo Museum ‘Chuggin’ Along Train Tour’ on track to open in late spring
Three full-sized, film-famous train cars, each weighing tens of thousands of pounds, arrived on the grounds of the Volo Museum in mid-December after a 2,035-mile journey from Fillmore, California — with four more on their heels. The complexities of transporting seven enormous train cars to their new home proved to be a tall and costly order. But it’s an effort that will be worth it when visitors can enjoy Volo’s new Chuggin’ Along Train Tour and Museum in late spring or early summer 2022, said Brian Grams, director of the museum. “It’s crazy. It’s stressful. But it’s fun,” Grams said, noting that several sections of new fencing had to be removed, tons of rock brought in and graded and a segment of track laid for the initial three-car installation, visible to passing motorists near Route 12 and Fox Lake Road. By next summer, Grams envisions guests lining up to board the museum’s trackless trains to enjoy the train tour and all of the new amenities that will go with it. Featured will be the Jupiter 4-4-0 steam locomotive and tender used in Disney’s 2013 film “The Lone Ranger.” Also on view will be the parlor car from another train in the same movie, as well as the baggage
and parlor cars made famous by Will Smith in “Wild Wild West.” Leonardo DeCaprio fans will recognize the sinister locomotive from “Inception,” and Denzel fans the cab from the heart-pounding thriller “Unstoppable.” There are even a couple of handcars from “O Brother, Where Art Thou?” It’s been only a few weeks since Grams first spied his new treasures on eBay. In early December, they were posted for sale by their former owner, the Fillmore & Western Railway Co. in Fillmore, California, with the caveat that they needed them removed before the end of the month, Grams said. Never one to shrink from a challenge, Grams clicked “buy now” and plunged full steam ahead into the logistics quagmire of shipping several train cars more than 2,000 miles — and not by rail, but over the road. Simply finding trucks that could bear the weight, with trailers that sit low enough not to exceed height restrictions once loaded — and then choreographing the dance between crane operators, riggers and truckers — was mind-bending, Grams said. Doing it all in such a tight timeframe, and in the midst of the holiday season, well, it hasn’t been a project for the faint of heart.
“It’s not like shipping a car,” Grams said. “Getting the train cars here has far exceeded the cost of the purchase. We’ll be into it for more than $1 million by the time we’re done.” Featuring star cars, vintage muscle cars and an ever-expanding array of other attractions, the Volo Museum is open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily, including on New Year’s Day. 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 Jurassic Gardens — an indoor, animatronic dinosaur park that opened earlier this year — 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. A separate admission fee will be established next summer for those wishing to take in solely the train museum and tour. A new combo ticket also will be offered, Grams said. State COVID guidelines are in place. For other details, visit volocars.com, find Volo Auto Museum, Jurassic Gardens or Chuggin’ Along Train Tour and Museum on Facebook, or call 815-385-3644. olo Museum is located at 27582 Volo Village Road, Volo.

Rural, urban farmers find common ground in passion for food By Katie Zelechowski ILLINOIS FARM BUREAU
Increasing access to fresh, locally sourced food and connecting families with how it’s grown are priorities for Chicago-based companies Sugar Beet Food Co-op and Herban Produce. During a recent farm-to-fork tour, 25 farmers from rural Illinois learned about the unique challenges both businesses face in the city. The Taste of Illinois on Location event took place earlier this month as part of Illinois Farm Bureau’s Annual Meeting, and highlighted similarities between different types of food production and shared values within agriculture across the state. Sugar Beet Food Co-op, located in Oak Park, is a food hub created by area residents who needed a source of local, sustainable and healthy foods in their neighborhood. After four years of planning, the grocery opened in 2016. “Generally, grocery stores are owned by corporations and those are people that are not in the community. Our store is actually owned by consumers, community members, people in the immediate area and producers,” said Regina Milkovich, education and community outreach coordinator for the co-op. As a cooperative, the store is specifically designed to meet the needs and interests
of its more than 2,400 owner members. Cost sharing efforts between produce, meat and prepackaged food departments, as well as the café, absorb premiums on expensive products to lower the overall cost to shoppers. “We have a lot of people to feed and only so many grocery stores that are owned by a few corporations,” Milkovich said. “There’s a great chance to set a standard of what people really want in a grocery store and (show them) that they can be involved in the process.” An extensive bulk aisle also helps consumers save, while providing new opportunities for local farmers and producers to sell products. “It’s really beneficial to shopping because a lot of pricing is contained in the packaging—the hidden cost of food,” she said. “If you remove that out of the situation, we’re able to price things specifically for the retail price of food.” Individual packaging can account for as much as 20 percent of the end product, Milkovich said. Phil Wright raises cattle in Paris, Illinois, and worked as a grain buyer for 35 years. After retiring five years ago, he started a bread making business and sells his creations locally.

As development progressed, area residents began asking questions about how food is grown on site and how it ends up on their tables. “We’re in East Garfield Park, so it’s traditionally a Black neighborhood,” Nesbary-Moore said. “(The farm) really started to create this narrative and conversation (about food) within the community.” The farm originally started as a nonprofit and transitioned to a for-profit business on two acres (or 15 city blocks) in 2020.

License, ID card expiration extended Illinois Secretary of State Jesse White announced that expiration dates for driver’s licenses and ID cards have been extended an additional three months – from Jan. 1, 2022, to March 31, 2022. This extension does not apply to commercial driver’s licenses (CDL) and CDL learner’s permits. White noted this will be the final extension. “During the pandemic, my office has continued to serve the public, including face-to-face transactions, in a safe and responsible manner,” said White. “This extension is necessary as my office continues to address
the heavy customer volume caused by the COVID-19 pandemic through expanded online services and the introduction of appointments at select Driver Services facilities.” Public Act 102-678 authorizes the Secretary of State’s office to extend driver’s license and ID card expiration dates to March 31, 2022. Throughout the pandemic, White’s office has launched a diversified effort to address the heavy customer demand at facilities caused by the ongoing pandemic by requiring appointments at select facilities and
expanding online services. These efforts include: • Requiring appointments at select Driver Services facilities for behind-the-wheel road tests, REAL IDs, standard driver’s licenses and ID cards. Customers may visit ilsos.gov for a list of participating facilities, as well as to schedule an appointment. New appointment slots will be available each day at ilsos.gov. • Expanding remote renewal for driver’s license and ID card holders. Since fall, the office has been mailing letters to eligible customers with expired driver’s licenses and ID cards requiring them to renew online, by
phone or by mail. The office estimates that this will eliminate the need for approximately 1 million people to visit a facility. • Urging the public to consider using online services at ilsos.gov instead of visiting a facility for transactions such as purchasing license plate stickers, obtaining a duplicate driver’s license or ID card, and renewing driver’s licenses and ID cards, including REAL IDs, for those who are eligible. As a reminder, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security has extended the federal REAL ID deadline to May 3, 2023.

Volunteers honored by Volo Bog SNA, Moraine Hills SP On Thursday, December 9, at a Joint Zoom meeting of the Friends of Volo Bog & Friends of Moraine Hills State Park, Illinois Department of Natural Resources staff honored two volunteers who went above and beyond in offering their services to these DNR sites in 2020/2021. Over these two “COVID Years” they and other volunteers contributed over 3,000 (preliminary estimate) hours to the Illinois Department of Natural Resources sites. Carol Janssen was named Volunteer of the Year for Volo Bog State Natural Area. Carol began volunteering at Volo Bog in 2018 as a Weekend Bog Naturalist. When there is no docent volunteer, she tosses on her “Docent Hat” and greets visitors in the Visitor Center, answering questions, directing them to the trails and other facilities, and running the Friends of Volo Bog’s Tamarack Shop. That same year, Carol joined the Friend of Volo Bog Board Carol Janssen of Directors, the 501(c)(3) organation that supports Volo Bog State Natural Area. Carol also is the co-host of Of Bogs & Books including hosting the Zoom gatherings of the group when needed. In 2020, Carol was expecting to join the team of Youth Program Naturalists to conduct bog tours for school students once per week but then came COVID. In 2021, she did lead her first children’s bog tours. During the COVID shut down, Carol worked from home to start the search for a new company to manage the garden pond outside the Visitor Center. Once the parks were re-opened, she met on site with potential candidates and screened for the best one to recommend to the Friends of Volo Bog. Carol continues to support the site’s educational programs and special events including WinterFest, World Migratory Bird Days, International Bog Day and Ghost Stories. Dave Albright of Crystal Lake was named Volunteer of the Year for Moraine Hills State Park and McHenry Dam. Dave started volunteering as a docent and a native gardener in 2009. In 2011, he joined the board of directors of Friends of Moraine Hills State Park, a 501(c)(3) organization where he currently serves as treasurer. Dave is a leading organizer for Moraine Hills ‘Run for the Hills’, the Friends’ Dave Albright major fundraiser each September, as well the lead on applying for grants to support many projects at the park. Through his efforts, the Friends have successfully received numerous grants from The Community Foundation for McHenry County, and from McHenry County Audubon, a chapter of Illinois Audubon Society. Grants have allowed the park to add several interpretive panels along the park’s trails, binoculars overlooking the Fox River, and contributed to various habitat restoration projects throughout the park. Dave can also be found tending the native wildflower garden outside the Moraine Hills Nature Center, helping with the occasional restoration workday, updating the parks’ many kiosks each month, monitoring butterflies in summer, and filling bird feeders throughout the park each winter. This is Dave’s third time receiving the VOY honor; he was also recognized in 2011 and 2018. Volunteer-of-the-Year plaques were presented remotely to Albright & Janssen by IDNR’s Site Superintendent Jacob Shurpit and Natural Resources Coordinator Stacy Iwanicki during a joint Zoom meeting of the two Friends’ groups. Each will receive a Centurian Award plaque (which will also presented to all volunteers contributing over 100 hours in 2020/2021) at a date to be determined sometime in 2022, with the hopes they can gather again in person.
New state laws taking effect Jan. 1 Minimum wage hike, pets in public housing among new changes
By Peter Hancock CAPITOL NEWS ILLINOIS
Minimum wage workers in Illinois will see a boost in their hourly pay to $12 per hour starting Jan. 1, while tenants in affordable housing units will be allowed to keep pets. Those are just some of the more than 300 new laws that take effect in the new year. The minimum wage increase is actually the result of a 2019 law that phases in a state minimum wage to $15 an hour by 2025. This year, it will increase by one dollar to $12 an hour. The law allowing public housing tenants to keep pets is the result of Senate Bill 154, by Sen. Linda Holmes, D-Aurora, and Rep. Stephanie Kifowit, D-Oswego. It provides that tenants of multifamily housing units that are acquired, built or renovated with money from the Illinois Affordable Housing Trust Fund may keep up to two cats or one dog weighing less than 50 pounds. It applies to residents of housing units that are desig-
The Lake County Board has approved a policy that will prohibit single-use plastics within many County operations, furthering efforts to promote sustainability and support the environment. Effective January 1, 2023, singleuse plastics associated with service ware, eating, and drinking, such as cutlery, coated paper plates, beverage bottles, to-go containers, lids, straws, stir sticks, six-pack rings, shopping or storage bags, and plastic wrap, will cease to be purchased, sold, or distributed within Lake County government operations and many County government sites. “Single-use plastics such as containers, forks and straws are often thrown away and can take hundreds of years to break down in our landfills while posing a risk to wildlife and

appropriate school support personnel. Official flags: HB605 requires state agencies and institutions to purchase Illinois and American flags that are made in the United States. Hair styles: SB817 prohibits discrimination in schools against individuals on the grounds of wearing natural or ethnic hairstyles, which include dreadlocks, braids, twists and afros. Lemonade stands: SB119 prohibits public health authorities from regulating or shutting down lemonade stands or similar operations that are operated by children under the age of 16. Known as “Hayli’s Law,” it was inspired by 12-year-old Hayli Martinez, whose lemonade stand in Kankakee was shut down by local officials. Juneteenth: HB3922 recognizes June 19, or “Juneteenth,” as an official state holiday that commemorates the end of slavery in the United States. In June, President Joe Biden also signed a bill designating Juneteenth as a federal holiday.
ecosystems, said Lake County Energy and Environment Committee Chair Terry Wilke. “I thank the committee, Lake County Board, and staff for working on a policy that will benefit our environment while also showing Lake County’s commitment to promoting a sustainable environment.” The policy, which began within the Energy and Environment Committee, is applicable only to County-owned and operated facilities and is not a countywide single-use plastics ban. “We hope this policy will serve as a model for other county and local governments as well as businesses and residents to look more closely at ways they can take impactful steps to help protect our environment,” said Energy and Environment Committee ViceChair Paras Parekh. The County partnered with the
Solid Waste Agency of Lake County to work with a consultant to complete initial analysis on possible costs to prohibit single-use plastics in some of the County’s operations. Following an analysis and presentation by Resource Recycling Systems, the Energy and Environment Committee provided direction to draft a policy to prohibit single-use plastics from County government operations by January 1, 2023. “Eleven million pounds of plastic enters Lake Michigan each year, which is more than any other Great Lake,” said Lake County Board Member Jessica Vealitzek. “We need to end our reliance on plastic, which produces greenhouse gases at every point in its life cycle. The Board set a great example and I hope more local governments and businesses will join us.”
Illinois continues to lose population Census estimates show state lost more than 113,000 in one year

Other new laws include: Vehicle taxes: SB58 raises the private vehicle tax, which is a sales tax paid on the purchase of vehicles, by $75 for each model year where the purchase price is less than $15,000 and by $100 for vehicles priced above that amount. However, the registration fee for trailers weighing less than 3,000 pounds will drop to $36 instead of $118. College admissions: HB226, establishing the Higher Education Fair Admissions Act, prohibits public colleges and universities from requiring applicants to submit SAT, ACT or other standardized test scores as part of the admissions process, although prospective students may choose to submit them if they wish. Drug prices: SB1682 requires pharmacies to post a notice informing consumers
that they may request current pharmacy retail prices at the point of sale. FOID card changes: HB562 enacts several changes to the Firearm Owner Identification card law. Among other things, it provides for a streamlined renewal process for FOID cards and Concealed Carry Licenses for people who voluntarily submit fingerprint records. It also allows the Illinois State Police to issue a combined FOID card and Concealed Carry License to qualified applicants, and it establishes a new Violent Crime Intelligence Task Force to take enforcement action against people with revoked FOID cards. Student mental health: HB576 and SB1577 allow students in Illinois up to five excused absences to attend to their mental or behavioral health without providing a medical note. Those students will be given an opportunity to make up any work they missed during the first absence and, after using a second mental health day, may be referred to the

New estimates from the U.S. Census Bureau suggest Illinois is continuing to lose population. The latest estimates, released Dec. 21, pegged the state’s population at 12,671,469 as of July 1, 2021, down by 113,776, or 0.9 percent, from the official 2020 census. Several factors contributed to the change, but the single largest was domestic outmigration. According to the data, 122,460 people moved from Illinois to other states during the period from April 1, 2020, to July 1, 2021, while only 5,766 people moved into the state, a net loss of 116,694. Those losses were offset by a net gain of 5,766 people through international migration as well as a “natural” increase of 2,778 people—the difference between in-state births and deaths during the period. The Census Bureau routinely estimates national, state and county populations each year following a decennial census using a variety of data sources. But those estimates have been off in the past. In 2019, for example, the Census Bureau estimated that
Illinois had lost more than 51,000 people since the 2010 census while the official 2020 census showed the state had lost about only 18,000. Still, the latest estimates for Illinois reflect broader national trends of decreased international migration, lower birth rates and increased mortality, due in part to the COVID-19 pandemic. Overall, the Census Bureau said, the U.S. population grew by 444,464, since the 2020 census, or 0.13 percent, the lowest growth rate since the nation’s founding. “Population growth has been slowing for years because of lower birth rates and decreasing net international migration, all while mortality rates are rising due to the aging of the nation’s population,” Census Bureau demographer Kristie Wilder said in a news release. “Now, with the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, this combination has resulted in a historically slow pace of growth.” The estimates showed that both the Midwest and Northeast regions saw net population declines over the year while the South and West regions both gained population.
Over the past year, the Census Bureau said, the nation’s population growth was due to a natural increase of 148,043, and net international migration of 244,622, marking the first time that net international migration exceeded natural growth. Between 2020 and 2021, 33 states saw population increases and 17 states and the District of Columbia lost population. 11 of which had losses of more than 10,000 people. This is a historically large number of states to
lose population in a year. On a percentage basis, Illinois had the third largest population decline, behind the District of Columbia, at 2.9 percent, and New York, at 1.6 percent. Idaho, Utah and Montana had the largest percentage increases. On a numeric basis, Illinois also had the third largest population decline, behind New York and California. Texas, Florida and Arizona had the largest numeric population increases.

Lake County Board approves funding to bolster State’s Attorney’s new Violent Crimes Unit On Tuesday, Dec. 14, the Lake County Board unanimously approved State’s Attorney Eric Rinehart’s expansion of the office’s newly-created Violent Crimes Unit. The board’s action authorizes Rinehart to devote two additional prosecutors and a victim-witness counselor to the unit.
“This Violent Crimes Unit will allow our most experienced prosecutors to immediately collaborate with police agencies in order to provide enhanced legal support during investigations,” Rinehart said. “For the first time ever, we will be assigning a victim-witness counselor
immediately to cases involving a homicide or great bodily harm. Victims may need help immediately even when a police investigation is still open. I am proud of this early support for victims and survivors.” State’s Attorney Rinehart also said that the unit would follow a vertical prosecution approach, in which a single prosecutor follows a case from “night one” to conviction. Rinehart added, “This model has been used in our sex crimes unit for years, but I have been expanding it to violent crimes. This allows the same attorneys and counselors to be working with survivors im-
mediately.” Rinehart had previously requested the expansion of the unit during budget hearings in October. But after normal operating budgets were kept flat for fiscal year 2022, Rinehart worked with Lake County Administrative staff and the Finance & Administration Committee to seek funding from the county’s American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) apportionment. Lake County Board Chair Sandy Hart commented, “State’s Attorney Rinehart has been aggressively seeking this funding for months. He presented the board with statistics that showed a sus-
tained increase in violence over the last several years, and we felt his office needed additional resources to deal with this recent surge within the pandemic. We have asked him to look for other efficiencies in the office, but we also felt that emergency ARPA funding could be used now for a vital community need.” The funding is expected to be available by January 2022, and Rinehart indicated that he will be staffing the unit as quickly as possible in consultation with First Assistant State’s Attorney Sharmila Manak and Chief of Violent Crimes Ben Dillon.
