Student helps make a difference to thousands who spend their holiday in the hospital College of Lake County (CLC) student Elizabeth Elliott knows what it’s like to spend time in the hospital. Ten years ago, she began unexpectedly passing out. Her doctors identified the cause as extremely high blood pressure but have been unable to cure her. “I’ve got to keep going. I do iron transfusions frequently, blood tests all the time, heart tests all the time, my full range of doctors,” said Elliott. “Physically I still have my challenges. I can’t drive and taking the bus, even an ADA bus, it’s very risky.” She doesn’t let any of that stop her from living life. Shortly after being diagnosed in 2010 while living in Florida, she returned home to Grayslake and enrolled at CLC. “I’ve always attributed CLC to pretty much saving my life,” said Elliott. “I couldn’t drive, and I was in and out of the hospital every week. I just felt like I had lost everything so going to school was kind of my normalcy. Being around people, getting my brain functioning rather than just lying in bed and being sick.” Professors, such as Nancy Cook, noticed her enthusiasm and the challenges she constantly overcame which were possible thanks in part to the assistance from CLC’s office for students with disabilities. “She would call or text me after a seizure, multiple hospitalizations and infusion sessions explaining her situation,” said Cook. “I frankly do not know how she keeps smiling while also doing more than her share of the work. I have the utmost respect and admiration for Elizabeth.” That admiration only grows when Cook talks about Elliott’s annual project. 12 years ago, she started HOPE Ornaments,
a non-profit dedicated to providing an ornament to those in a hospital or assisted living facility during the holidays. Elliott was inspired after giving an ornament to a six-year-old girl battling leukemia in the hospital Christmas Eve, 2007. This year, however, will be unlike any she’s ever experienced. “It’s hard enough being in a hospital even when you can have visitors but this year, they can’t have visitors,” said Elliott. “I can’t imagine waking up Christmas morning and having no one by my side. It breaks my heart to think there’s going to be 60,000 some people in Illinois who are going to have to experience that.” That estimate of people in the hospital over the holidays is approximately three times higher than a normal year. What’s worse, on average Elliott collects 8,000 ornaments but this year only around 2,000 have been donated. Still, it’s a better situation than she expected. “I was worried that HOPE Ornaments was not going to take place this year but, the hospitals reached out to me,” said Elliott. “They’ve seen in the past what a difference it makes in people’s lives and so they really wanted the ornaments.” Elliott hopes to collect 5,000 ornaments this year which she has to deliver to the 26 hospitals and assisted living facilities she serves by Dec. 15 so they can go through their own quarantine. She is specifically asking for unopened, purchased ornaments as a health precaution, or a monetary donation so she can purchase the ornaments. See some of what she’s collected so far and learn how to donate by visiting her Facebook page @HOPEornaments, she also has a GoFundMe page which can be found by searching HOPE Ornaments 2020 at gofundme.com.

The ornaments will be distributed to hospital patients during Christmas. Donations are down this year and she is still looking to collect more ornaments to help brighten up the holidays of those that are hospitalized.

According to U.S. Department of Labor data, 228,583 Illinoisans filed new claims for extended benefits under the PEUC for the week ending Nov. 14, which is roughly 10,000 more than the week before. During the same period, nearly 144,000 self-employed workers were receiving continuing benefits under the PUA. Both the PEUC and the PUA programs are funded entirely by the federal government, and were created under the federal Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security, or CARES Act, which Congress passed in March. Funding for those programs is set to expire Dec. 26.

regular unemployment claims for the week ending Nov. 28, which is a 13 percent increase from the prior week. Those state unemployment claims are in addition to those filed under the Pandemic Emergency Unemployment Compensation program, which provides an additional 13 weeks of benefits for those who have exhausted their regular jobless benefits, and the Pandemic Unemployment Assistance program, which provides benefits to gig workers, independent contractors and other self-employed individuals who don’t normally qualify for traditional unemployment insurance.

for months, we are working hard to respond to an economic crisis and stand up five new, complex federal programs while battling fraudsters who have used stolen identities to file for benefits nationwide,” wrote IDES Information Strategy Director and Public Information Officer Rebecca Cisco. IDES reported last month that the state’s unemployment rate dropped to 6.8 percent in October, down from 10.4 percent in September. Meanwhile, the total number of nonfarm jobs in the state fell by about 1,100, to roughly 5.7 million. The state agency reported more than 74,000 newly filed

to share how the agency has lessened the long delays that unemployment claimants have faced, by increasing IDES staff and implementing a “callback only” system, in which calls are returned in the order they are received. Richards said the agency handled more claims in the first three weeks of the pandemic than it had during all of 2019. In order to meet this enormous demand, IDES increased its call center staffing by about 600 percent, Richards said on Nov. 23. She said the agency also redeployed about 100 staffers to deal with claims maintenance and adjudication, and brought back dozens of retired workers. As a result of these changes, Richards said many claimants are now receiving callbacks “within one to two weeks or less.” In an email, an IDES spokesperson said the agency has paid out nearly $19 billion in benefits since March, which is more than 16 times the amount of benefits paid over the equivalent period in 2019. “As IDES has been saying

Three Republican lawmakers on Dec. 4 put pressure on Illinois Department of Employment Security officials to answer for the backlog in unemployment claims and the rising number of fraudulent unemployment claims filed, which has reached nearly 297,000 since March. During a Zoom news conference, state Reps. Tom Bennett, R-Gibson City, Terri Bryant, R-Murphysboro, and Mike Murphy, R-Springfield, urged Gov. JB Pritzker to call a special legislative session and allow for hearings to address the agency’s delays in processing unemployment claims, as well as the 296,914 fraud claims that had been filed as of Nov. 19, according to IDES. “You (Gov. Pritzker) should lead at this point and call us into special session to address many of these issues,” Bryant said. “I’ve said before, and I’ll repeat it again: Congress is meeting; other state legislators are meeting. We met safely in May with nobody contracting COVID-19, so we know it’s possible.” Murphy said his office continues to hear constituent complaints about delays in receiving unemployment benefits, and about fraudulent claims being made on their behalf. “As a matter of fact, during this press conference, I just got a text message from a constituent who said that they haven’t got a call back in over 30 days,” Murphy said. “But the majority of my complaints, recently,
have been in regards to fraud.” Bennett said the lawmakers must begin with finding the facts and answers to outstanding questions. “The problem is we’re not getting the answers on why there are so many failures going on. We need to be able to figure out why the administration and IDES can’t handle the job requirements. We know that COVID-19 has changed everything in so many ways, but we got to be able to respond,” Bennett said. When asked about the dollar amount associated with fraudulent employment claims in Illinois, Bryant said they don’t have enough information to determine how much the state has paid out in fraud claims. “We don’t have an answer on the dollar amount because we’re not sure yet on what is actual fraud, and what’s being called fraud,” Bryant said. “How do we know what is fraudulent and what is real, until we’re able to have some hearings on this and get some answers?” Last month, IDES acting Director Kristin Richards spoke during Pritzker’s daily briefing

Lake County distributes more than $16M to small businesses impacted by COVID-19 The Lake County Board announced Dec. 2 that checks totaling more than $16 million have been distributed to 1,195 Lake County small businesses that applied for and were awarded grants to help offset revenue losses due to COVID-19. The grants were funded by the Lake County Small Business Assistance COVID-19 grant program, which the Lake County Board established using federal funds received from the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (CARES) Act. “I am proud to announce that working in partnership with Lake County Partners and the College of Lake County, we were able to provide substantial help to so many

businesses in Lake County that have been reeling from the consequences of lost revenues due to the COVID-19 pandemic,” said Lake County Board Chair Sandy Hart. “The businesses we were able to help covered a wide range of industries, including restaurants, entertainment and recreation, retail services and more. It is our hope that these grants will provide a lifeline to allow them to continue to operate.” To be eligible to receive the grants, businesses needed to be incorporated prior to Feb. 15, 2020, have less than $2.5 million in annual revenues, and to have provided documentation of impact due to COVID-19. The application period was open from July 7 to July 20.
A list of business that received grant checks can be found online at www.lakecountyil.gov/ forward. The amount of the grant to each business ranged from $485 to a maximum of $30,000. The formula used to determine the grant amount for each business was based on the monthly rent or mortgage payment of business, multiplied by 4.5. For example, a business that had a $3,000 rent payment was eligible for a grant of $13,500. More than 1,800 applications were received for the grants, and those that were determined to have met the eligibility criteria received an award. According to the grant guidelines, businesses that received an award may use the funds to cover up to six months of occupancy costs, including rent, mortgage and utilities; as well as other expenses incurred due to COVID-19, such as new equipment, plexiglass, masks, sanitization services and materials, and COVID-19 related safety training for employees. Under grant rules, businesses must use the funds no later than Dec. 30, 2020. To ensure the grants were administered objectively, and to get the funds dispersed to businesses as quickly as possible, Lake County government entered into an agreement with Lake County Partners, a nonprofit entity devoted to economic development in Lake County, to review the applications and administer the grant program. “Lake County Partners was pleased that it could play a role in making sure that our small businesses, which make up
two-thirds of all Lake County businesses, had access to much needed federal funding to help them stay afloat,” said Lake County Partners President and CEO Kevin Considine. “The number of applications we received, and the breadth of the types of businesses they came from, demonstrates how widespread and profound an impact the pandemic has had on our local Lake County economy.” The funding for the program came from federal CARES Act funds that the Lake County Board earmarked particularly for this program. Because nearly all the funds allocated for the program were used, a second round of funding will not be offered. To date, the Lake County Board has committed more than $121 million in CARES funding to help in COVID-19 recovery efforts. These funds include: • $1.75 million for personal protective equipment • $13.5 million for food, rental, utility, housing, employment and other resident support and assistance • $16 million for local small business and economic assistance • $17.2 million for public health support and assistance (contact tracing, education, vaccination, behavioral health services) • $42 million for reimbursement to local municipalities, fire protection districts, and other taxing bodies for COVID-19 expenses For more information on Lake County’s COVID-19 recovery and response efforts, please visit www.lakecountyil. gov/forward.

Banek sworn in as new Lake County Coroner Newly elected Lake County Coroner Jennifer Banek was sworn into office Tuesday, Dec. 1 by 19th Judicial Circuit Chief Judge Diane Winter. Banek, who was elected to her first term, was one of four countywide officials sworn into office recently. The others are newly elected Lake County State’s Attorney Eric Rinehart, and Lake County Recorder of Deeds Mary Ellen Vanderventer and Lake County Circuit Court Clerk Erin Cartwright Weinstein, who were both reelected to their positions. Banek resides in Green Oaks and is a certified registered nurse anesthetist, providing anesthesia to patients in Illinois and Wisconsin in preparation for surgery. For years, Banek has been an active member in the anesthesia field, providing professional guidance and leadership to more than 200 registered nurses in Illinois. Banek has dedicated her life to public service and serving people. She is a Captain in the US Army Reserve and most recently returned last January from her deployment at Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar, where she provided anesthesia to military personnel before surgery. Banek has been a member of the Cook Memorial Library Board since 2018, serving as secretary, and is a board member of the Illinois Association of Nurse Anesthetists, and a committee member of the American Association of Nurse Anesthetists. Banek is looking forward to serving as the new Lake County Coroner. “I am honored by the support I’ve received from the voters of Lake County, and eager to get to work as Lake County Coroner. I look forward to being an advocate for all of Lake County’s amazing communities as we get through the pandemic and other challenges,” she said.

Death of young mom prompts longtime mentor to rally community HI-LITER • WEDNESDAY, DEC. 9, 2020 • 5
Angel Harold is collecting gift cards and more to brighten the holidays of four children She’d seen the adorable young girl with the pigtail braids in the lobby of her Uptown Chicago apartment building a few times — always smiling and waving “hi.” “One day I go into the lobby and there she is,” said Angel Harold. “She pointed at me and said ‘You! Will you be my big sister?’” At first, Harold wasn’t sure she was the girl’s intended target. “I turned around to see if she might be pointing at someone else,” Harold said of the girl, Crystal, who would soon become her little sister through a local church mentoring program. “I don’t know why she chose me, but she chose me.” Harold, now of Libertyville, said the mentor-mentee relationship that began when she was 21 and Crystal was 7 was among the most fulfilling, long-lasting gifts life has bestowed. Last June, however, it also delivered one of life’s greatest heartbreaks. That’s when Angel learned that Crystal — at this point a mother of four children ranging in age from 5 to 18 — had died suddenly of a complication of diabetes. Crystal Hughes was 36. With the holidays looming, Harold — who once spent many happy hours with their mother baking, hiking, roller skating, skiing and even going on a carriage ride through Libertyville after her move from the city — began thinking about how to make the season brighter for Hughes’ children. What started as a notion has grown into a movement, thanks in no small part to members of a private Libertyville-based moms’ group on Facebook. It was at their mother’s funeral that Harold first met Crystal’s children, though she felt as though she knew them. She had, after all, been swapping photos and stories with their mother for the last decade. The two fell out of touch in the early 2000s while both women reared young babies. But they reconnected in 2010 via social media. “It was like we just picked
up where we left off,” Harold said. “Except we were both moms now, a little more grown up.” Harold said she was immediately impressed with the children Hughes nurtured. Eighteen-year-old Kevin Young had just graduated high school when he witnessed his mother’s passing before paramedics arrived at their South Side home. He had planned to attend trade school, but instead went to work for Amazon to cover the bills and keep his sisters together in their Peoria Street home, Harold said. “They are really good kids,” she said, noting that when she approached them to ask what they might like from an Amazon Christmas gift registry, none asked for much. One shyly suggested a bean bag chair, but withdrew the request after spying the price. “They are so humble,” she said. “They only asked for like five items.” Harold has been in touch with the children’s grandmother, who said the chief need is grief counseling. Three of the four children saw their mother die. The counseling is a need for which they have no means to pay, however. Harold knows only that she wants to help. From a simple appeal posted Nov. 28 on the Facebook moms’ group page, she’s received numerous pledges of grocery, gas, Amazon and other gift cards. One mom wondered about setting up a college fund. Another offered to pay for a press release to spread the word. And Harold’s part-time employer, a Libertyville shop called How Impressive, now also is a drop-off point for gifts for Hughes’ children. “Seventy-three people have already reached out to me,” Harold said in early December. “This is the most generous, kind group of women. I’m just blown away.” Harold added that shirt sizes for the kids are large for Kevin Young and his 16-yearold sister, Kev’Anni Young; small for Ke’Amanti Young, who is 15; and children’s size
7-8 for 5-year-old Caidence. “Their favorite colors are blue, purple, pink, green, black, white and orange,” Harold said. “They also like chicken alfredo, Italian beef, nachos, pizza and Jamaican jerk-seasoned foods — or Chick-fil-A, Starbucks or Taco Bell gift cards.” Harold said losing Crystal has made her reflect on how great a gift it was to know her. “In the church bulletin at Crystal’s funeral, there was a passage that mentioned how her ‘big sister’ was an inspiration for her life — that she loved her Angel,” Harold said. “But the real truth is, I feel like she was an angel sent to me.” Items can be dropped off at How Impressive, 326 N. Milwaukee Ave., Libertyville, through December 19. Angel Harold can be contacted through email at angelharold2@gmail.com

Christopher C. Trimpe 59, of Crystal Lake, was arrested Thursday, Dec. 3, and charged with theft. A criminal investigation began in January 2020, after the McHenry County Sheriff’s Office was contacted by the Diocese of Rockford regarding the misappropriation of funds from a financial account managed by the Resurrection Catholic Church located in the 2900 block of Country Club Road, in unincorporated Woodstock.

Semi crash leads to fatality
On November 30, 2020, at approximately 12:00 p.m., Lake County Sheriff’s Deputies were dispatched
to Route 173 and Converse Road, Antioch Township, for a traffic crash with injuries. Sheriff’s deputies arrived and located a 1990 Peterbilt Semi-truck and a Trinity trailer it was pulling (loaded with approximately 25 tons of granular sludge) with major damage. Preliminary investigation shows the driver of the Peterbilt, a 72-year-old male of Woodstock, was traveling westbound and began veering to the left for an unknown reason. The Peterbilt crossed into the eastbound lanes and struck a guardrail on the south side of the roadway. The Peterbilt continued west and the trailer rolled, spilling its load. The truck and trailer partially jackknifed. The driver was extricated from the cab by paramedics and was transported to the Northern Illinois Medical Center in McHenry, where he later was pronounced deceased. The McHenry County Coroner’s Office is in the process of scheduling an autopsy. The crash remains under investigation by the Lake County Sheriff’s Office Technical Crash Investigations Unit.
