Community bike share coming to Grayslake
Program will be the first ever bike share in Lake County It began with an idea by College of Lake County (CLC) Sustainability Manager David Husemoller and a conversation with sustainabilityminded Grayslake resident Mary Klees. Now, after more than three years in collaboration, they are seeing the work pay-off with the creation of a community bike share program. “Grayslake Bikeshare is a way for our community to see something new and interesting. Something you don’t often see outside of big cities or university campuses,” said Klees. “It’s important to create collaboratively and sustainably so our community can become the best version of itself.” Locals who have ventured to Chicago may be familiar with their Divvy Bikes. The Grayslake program would be similar with more than a dozen bikes made available to anyone who wants to ride, on a short-term basis. As the college’s sustainability council grew, Husemoller handed CLC’s part in the project off to Shannon Bassi, an administrative assistant at the college who also has a passion for sustainability. “One of the best ways to help people understand how to incorporate sustainable practices into their lives, regardless of age or location, is through experience,” said Bassi. “A bike share is a fantastic tool for experiential learning.” The college’s student government, health and wellness council and sustainability council are joining with the Village of Grayslake, Grayslake Area Public
Library District and the Grayslake Community Park District to make the initial two-year commitment. Each sees the bike share as having a positive impact on their organization’s goals, such as CLC’s health and wellness council. “A bike share program provides increased physical activity, supports social wellness when riding with others, enhances awareness of environmental wellness and generally improves one’s outlook on life by reducing stress,” said CLC Wellness Labs Coordinator and member of the health and wellness council Lisa Aguilar. “Increased intellectual wellness can also be offered by visiting the little lending libraries on the living lab trail or stopping by the farm to support choices for nutritional wellness. The bike share provides a variety of health and wellness benefits.” The pilot program will kickoff in this spring with each group sponsoring a set number of bikes and stations to include CLC’s Grayslake Campus, the Grayslake Metra station, downtown Grayslake and Grayslake’s Central Park. Yes, this is a true community collaboration, but Klees is hoping the program will grow to encompass many partners across all of Lake County. “I had always conceived of it being a county-wide program,” said Klees. “One obstacle potential partner organizations and municipalities have is a lack of data. There is not a lot of data specific for our specific area.” After the common riding season wraps up in late fall 2021, the
program will produce a first glimpse into how and how often the bikes were used. Both Bassi and Klees expect to see a variety of trips taken by CLC students, staff and the Grayslake community. “The bike share is not limited to students or employees of CLC, it is for everyone in the community,” said Bassi. “People are welcomed and encouraged to take a bike and explore the forest preserve, our campus and the living lab trail, downtown Grayslake and neighboring amenities. Metra riders can jump on a bike at the station, get to CLC, then get themselves back to the train really nicely. Unlike driving a gas-powered vehicle, riding a bike creates zero CO2 emissions, is great exercise and gets people closer to nature; all vital pieces of sustainable living.” “If someone is dropping their child off to practice at Central Park, instead of sitting in their car for an hour or watching the practice, they can hop on a bike, take a couple laps around the trails,” said Klees. “Maybe ride the bike into town, pick-up coffee, go back and pick-up their child. If our community bike share takes off and potential partners are happy with the data, I imagine you are going to see a lot of other municipalities and organizations sign-up in the coming years.” Details on precise locations, number of bikes and cost of user fees are still being determined. Klees notes none of the partners view this as a money-making venture but rather a way to build community. The cost for a rider is expected to be very affordable.

State Sen. Darren Bailey announces campaign for governor Gained notoriety for challenging Pritzker’s COVID-19 executive orders
By Tim Kirsininkas CAPITOL NEWS ILLINOIS
Illinois Sen. Darren Bailey, who gained notoriety for challenging Gov. JB Pritzker’s COVID-19 executive orders last year, has announced that he will seek the Republican nomination for governor in 2022. Speaking before a crowd of supporters at the Thelma Keller Convention Center in Effingham, Bailey cast himself as an outsider candidate who would stand up to who he referred to as “political elites”. “We’ve tried the country club approach. We’ve tried the Chicago loop approach. And I don’t think that’s worked for anyone in this room,” Bailey told supporters. Bailey, a downstate Re-
publican from Xenia, filed a lawsuit against the Pritzker administration in May challenging the governor’s executive orders issued amid the COVID-19 pandemic. Pritzker referred to the suit as “a cheap political stunt” at the time. Bailey received a favorable ruling in that case from a judge in Clay County that was later thrown out by a Sangamon County judge. Bailey was elected as a state representative in 2018 before winning election as state senator for the 55th District in November. During the General Assembly’s abbreviated session last spring, Bailey was removed from the house floor at the Bank of Springfield Center for refusing to wear a mask. In subsequent session
days he obeyed the mask mandates and was not removed. Since then, Bailey has toured the state and held rallies calling on Pritzker to lift restrictions on businesses and raising other issues. According to his campaign website, Bailey is a third-generation farmer and a graduate of Lake Land College. Bailey and his family co-founded Full Armor Christian Academy, and Bailey served for 17 years on the North Clay Unit 25 Board of Education in Louisville before his election to the General Assembly in 2018. Speaking before a mostly unmasked crowd while announcing his candidacy, Bailey said his campaign would

Chief Cokefair shares information on First Fire Protection District tax referendum Historically, with the calls for service on the rise, the members of the First Fire Protection District struggle to reach our goal of making contact with 90% of the callers within 6 minutes. In 2020 we responded to 2975 calls for service. This was down from the previous year 471 calls. Departments across Lake County also saw significant decreases (-8.7%) in volume attributed to the Covid-19 Pandemic. As Fire Service Professionals, we feel our call volume will return to the growth we have seen in the past years as life returns to the new normal. With 8.5 million dollars in building assets deteriorating, the department cannot keep up on the repairs needed on your aging firehouses. Since 2016 we have collected good data where we are able to track the payer mix of the people who use our ambulance service. We have good data on the types of calls and where they occur in the district. Unfortunately, we find ourselves in a shortfall of funds to best take care of your 8.5 million dollars in building assets. We find ourselves short of being able to continue building on our non-traditional model of Contract and Part-time employee model. A model that keeps the First Fire Protection District OUT of the pension crisis. The Board of Trustees of the First Fire Protection District of Antioch have had lengthy discussions on the need to get in front of the growth and to care for our aging infrastructure. The
only solution is to ask for this tax increase. After an unsuccessful request last Spring, we find ourselves with little options and returning to our community, to ask for an increase again. If our residents understand our needs and approve the question, the residents will realize an increase of approximately $88.50 per $100,000 market value on their homes. This will generate approximately 1.8 million dollars per year allowing us to add the needed staff to meet service levels and begin to repair assets. We are doing our best to serve you. We are operating under more stringent protocols to keep you healthy and safe. Protocols that put an increasing strain on our staff both mentally and physically. This is not for traditional pensioned firefighters. Our part-time and contract staffing model will remain the same. What if it doesn’t pass? Business as usual. We continue to operate out of 3 stations with 12 personnel on staff 24/7. We will do what we can and continue to fall behind with the dollars we have to take care of the aging infrastructure and equipment. Please feel free to contact Chief Cokefair or Deputy Chief Cook if you wish to host a virtual meeting or would like to meet to help better understand our mission. jcokefair@antiochfire. org or jcook@antiochfir.org Jon Cokefair Antioch Fire Chief

Self guided maple syrup programs offered at Ryerson Conservation Area For the past 40 years, educators and volunteers at the Lake County Forest Preserves have led wildly popular Maple Syrup Hikes through the Ryerson Conservation Area in Riverwoods. Each March, families, school groups and scout troops learned about the process of converting sap from the preserve’s towering maple trees into sweet syrup. Due to the ongoing pandemic, this year’s programming will be different. “COVID-19 has made us rethink how we can safely offer our maple syrup programs,” said Director of Education Nan Buckardt. “Though there will be no in-person programming this spring, people will be able to go on self-guided Maple Syrup Hikes through Ryerson, as well as take part in a variety of related virtual programs.” “There are plenty of opportunities to learn about the sweet science of tree physiology and maple sugaring through virtual experiences,” said Environmental Educator Jen
Berlinghof. The free monthly “Virtual Nature Club” at 3:30 pm, Wednesday, March 3, offers first through fourth graders a chance to learn about trees and how the sap collected is used to make sweet syrup. At 7 p.m., Wednesday, March 10, “Ask an Educator Live” will be on Zoom and Facebook. Participants are asked to bring their questions about backyard syruping. “This should be a popular program. We’ll be showing participants how they can do this historic tradition themselves,” said Berlinghof, who has been running the maple syrup programming for 17 years. Throughout March, teachers and scout leaders are encouraged to reserve a “Virtual Maple Syrup Field Trip” where we use the maple syruping process to meet science learning standards and enhance classroom curriculum, Berlinghof said. “If your family is ready to hit the trails, we are providing self-guided Maple Syrup Hikes for the entire month
of March. Through informational signs, you’ll learn the science behind how trees make sap and how we turn that sap into real maple syrup as you walk along the designated trail at your own pace,” Berlinghof said. The temperature dictates what you will see along the trail. The timing for tapping maple trees comes down to temperature–above freezing during the day but still below freezing at night–plus precipitation and the hours of sunlight in a day, Berlinghof said. Changing temperature is what causes the sap to surge upward from the roots toward the branches, where it helps the leaves grow and the buds bloom. Then in the summer, the leaves will produce more sap, which will settle back down in the roots come winter. Browse all virtual education offerings and register online at LCFPD.org/calendar.

Pritzker signs criminal justice reform bill Omnibus package backed by Black Caucus touches policing, courts, corrections
By Raymon Troncoso CAPITOL NEWS ILLINOIS
Gov. JB Pritzker signed a criminal justice omnibus bill backed by the Illinois Legislative Black Caucus Monday, abolishing cash bail, overhauling police certification and reforming useof-force standards among numerous other provisions. Pritzker signed the legislation, House Bill 3653, referred to as the “Safe-T Act,” during an event at Chicago State University alongside members of his administration and lawmakers from the Black Caucus. “This legislation marks a substantial step toward dismantling the systemic racism that plagues our communities, our state and our nation, and brings us closer to true safety, true fairness and true justice,” Pritzker said. While the legislation received grassroots support from activists, buoyed by the
growing national concern over policing following the deaths of George Floyd and Breonna Taylor last year, the bill faced strong opposition from Republican lawmakers and law enforcement groups. House Republican Leader Jim Durkin, of Western Springs, called the signing “an insult to our first responders.” “We live in a civilized state where our elected officials’ greatest responsibility is the health and safety of Illinois citizens … At a crucial time when we should coalesce around the good men and women of law enforcement, Governor Pritzker has turned his back on them with his signature on House Bill 3653,” Durkin said in a statement released Monday. Opponents of the legislation have said it will result in a less safe Illinois and have criticized the process behind its development as lacking in transparency without
proper input from Republican lawmakers and the public at large. Proponents say HB 3653 will make Illinois safer by making the justice system more equitable for Black, Latino, low-income and minority communities that have been disproportionately harmed by disparate policies in sentencing, incarceration and policing. Members of the Black Caucus have countered claims against the bill’s transparency by pointing to nine subject matter hearings held by the caucus in state Senate committees between September and November. For nearly 30 hours, lawmakers from both parties, law enforcement, judges, state’s attorneys, legal experts, representatives of the court, the governor’s office and the attorney general’s office hashed out many of the issues that became provisions in the bill, such as
the abolition of cash bail by 2023 and police certification. The office of the governor and Attorney General Kwame Raoul held working meetings over several months starting in July with representatives from both chambers and parties, Fraternal Order of Police groups, the Illinois Association of Chiefs of Police and the Illinois Sheriffs’ Association Here is what HB 3653, now law, does. Pretrial detention Starting on Jan. 1, 2023, all bail bonds and conditions of bail will be replaced by a system of pretrial release to be developed by the Illinois courts based on a detainee’s alleged crime, their risk of not appearing for their court date, and the threat or danger they may pose to an individual or community if released. Illinois is the first
Sheriff Idleburg expresses opinion on HB 3653
“I have been asked by many what my stance is on HB 3653, the criminal justice and police reform bill, which was recently signed into law, and I want to inform the community of my views. First and foremost, I firmly believe the law enforcement profession is driven by the community. Accordingly, when times change and society’s philosophies change, it is incumbent upon us law enforcement executives to adapt to what society expects from law enforcement. In doing this, we earn the trust and faith of the community we serve. To that end, I am incredibly proud of every person serving in every division of the Lake County Sheriff’s Office who stepped up to serve their community. Each year, our deputies jump into action to
save lives, rescue people from deadly situations, rescue children from physical and sexual abuse, and risk their lives for the sake of protecting others. My pride for the staff of the Lake County Sheriff’s Office and my awareness of the often-times risky nature of the job of sworn deputies, makes me particularly sensitive to demands for changes to the law enforcement profession. This sensitivity allows me to meet demands for change with open-mindedness and a desire to listen and learn, rather than sheer opposition. Over the past two years, since taking office, I’ve listened and learned with an open mind. This led to working with the community, community leaders, elected representatives, my administrative staff, and my rank-and-file staff to implement policies
and procedures which enhance our accountability and ensure we are operating in a manner consistent with what the community desires. Thus, many provisions in the criminal justice and police reform bill are already in place at the Lake County Sheriff’s Office. When the criminal justice and police reform bill was introduced in the lame duck session of the last General Assembly, my administration and I worked very closely with our Lake County legislators to address some of the significant concerns we had with the initial variation of the legislation. While these efforts produced some modifications, there remain portions of the new law requiring adjustments to ensure the safety of both law enforcement and the community. Fortunately, there is a legislative process
which my office is actively engaging to collaboratively address these concerns with our community and our legislators. My office has already identified and drafted solutions which I believe are acceptable to the community and legislators and implementable in the profession. As we work together to implement change, it is so important we include the community and all of the stakeholders in the conversation. Whether there are portions of the law you believe are important or potions you believe should be modified, I encourage you to communicate with your legislators. In the meantime, the Lake County Sheriff’s Office will continue doing what we do best, proudly serving the people of Lake County with integrity, respect, and professionalism.”
state to completely abolish cash bail by statute. Washington, D.C. does not use cash bail, and New Jersey effectively eliminated cash bail in most cases in 2017. Exceptions from pretrial release under the new law include forcible felonies such as first-degree murder, sexual assault, arson and any other felony involving the use or threat of physical force; stalking and aggravated stalking where the defendant poses a threat to the victim if released; abuse or battery of a family member where their release poses a danger to that family member; gun crimes where the defendant poses a threat to a specific, identifiable person; and cases where the defendant has committed a felony that wouldn’t otherwise result in detention but they are considered a high risk of fleeing prosecution and missing their court date. Use of force House Bill 3653 establishes the intent of the General Assembly to establish statewide use-of-force standards by 2022. It changes current standards by banning chokeholds and any actions that restrict breathing being used above the chest unless in a situation that authorizes
deadly force. Under the law, use of force is only allowed when it is necessary for the officer to defend themselves or others from bodily harm when making an arrest. When a suspect is attempting to escape arrest, officers are only authorized to use deadly force if that person is unable to be caught at a later date and is likely to harm others. Officers must make a reasonable effort to identify themselves as law enforcement and warn suspects before they can use deadly force, with some exceptions. Police certification Under House Bill 3653, the state will have more power over the certification and hiring of law enforcement at every agency through the Illinois Law Enforcement Training and Standards Board, known as ILETSB.
Body cameras The new law also makes body cameras mandatory for law enforcement agencies statewide. The largest departments must have body cameras in place by 2022, while all agencies, no matter how small, must have body cameras implemented by 2025.

Lake County State’s Attorney Eric Rinehart announced Monday, Feb. 22 that he was proud to participate in the enactment of a law adding new criminal justice protections including the end of cash bail, a mandate for police body cameras and increased police training. The SAFE-T Act, which includes the Pretrial Fairness Act, was signed into law by Gov. J.B. Pritzker. “While we are finally ending the injustice of dangerous people buying their freedom, we are also codifying what each of us know to be true -no one should be in jail simply because they are poor,” State’s Attorney Rinehart said. He joined several other officials, including Attorney General Kwame Raoul, in explaining the importance of the new law in establishing both equality and increased safety. “Unjustly jailing those who pose no risk to the community creates a ripple effect, perpetuating cycles of poverty and crime,” Rinehart said, thanking the governor, as well as other leaders and legislators, who championed the reform bill. “Thank you to the General Assembly for boldly proclaiming that the criminal justice system must do more

Court news Richmond man threatened to kill girlfriend
Wes E.

the scene. One of those children, Akilra J. Tolbert, 38, of the 1400 block of Lorelei Drive, Zion, began yelling at the driver who was involved in the crash with his mother. The sheriff’s deputy investigating the crash intervened as Tolbert was acting in an irate manner. While attempting to separate Tolbert from the driver of the crash, Tolbert struck the sheriff’s deputy. Additional sheriff’s deputies arrived and attempted to take Tolbert into custody. Tolbert began physically fighting with the sheriff’s deputies. After a brief struggle, sheriff’s deputies were subsequently able to take Tolbert into custody. The sheriff’s deputies sustained minor cuts during the struggle and bruises and Tolbert sustained minor abrasions. After reviewing the facts and circumstances of the case, the Lake County State’s Attorney’s Office approved the following charges: two counts of aggravated battery to a peace officer (class 3 felonies), two counts of resisting a peace officer causing injury (class 4 felonies), and disorderly conduct (class C misdemeanor). Tolbert remains held in the Lake County Jail on $25,000 bail. He was due to be in court on March 2.

Construction begins on CLC Student Services/Adult Education Building
The Illinois Capital Development Board (CDB) today announced construction has begun on the new Student Services/Adult Education Building on the College of Lake County Lakeshore Campus in Waukegan, Illinois. The $48 million project is moving forward thanks to Governor Pritzker’s bipartisan Rebuild Illinois capital plan, the first in nearly a decade. The State of Illinois is funding $35.3 million of the project with the remainder covered by local matching funds. CDB will oversee the project’s design and construction under the protocol for state-appropriated capital projects and has selected George Sollitt Construction Company as the low bid construction company for the project. “Through the Rebuild Illinois capital plan, the state is investing millions of dollars into educational facilities across the state to ensure our students have access to state of the art facilities needed to reach their goals,” said Governor JB Pritzker. “This new center at the College of Lake County will not only be a resource where students can receive additional support and guidance but will also provide a dedicated space where adults can continue their higher education journey and achieve their full potential.” “It is immediately clear upon visiting the Lakeshore Campus of the College of Lake County how integral this institution is to the Waukegan community,” said State Senator Adriane Johnson. “The new Student Services center and additional renovations will provide educational resources that local students need to thrive both while they are in school, and in their future careers.” “The College of Lake County Lakeshore Campus is an important hub of downtown Waukegan, serving the education and career advancement needs of our community. For that, I am thankful to have this infusion of resources in order to construct the new Students Services/Adult Education Building, and also renovate existing structures on campus,” said State Representative Rita Mayfield, member of the House Appropriations-Elementary & Secondary Education Committee. “From early childhood learning to continuing education for adults, the College of Lake County has demonstrated a cradle to career mission that will be further enhanced once this important project is completed.” “It’s an exciting day to be able to announce the construction of the new Student Services/Adult Education Building at the College of Lake County Lakeshore Campus,” said State Representative Sam Yingling. “As a life-long resident of Lake County, I have seen the tremendous impact this institution has had in the community, and a project of this magnitude will ensure the College of Lake County remains competitive in both attracting and producing talent.” “Waukegan’s College of Lake County Lake Shore Campus has always provided a good education and much-needed services to local students. This addition will empower
CLC to reach even more residents,” said State Senator Melinda Bush, a member of the Senate Education Committee. “Strong educational institutions are vital to strong communities. I look forward to seeing the Lake Shore Campus continue to grow into a hub for advancement in Lake County.” The new 62,692 square-foot Student Center will consist of support services, a library, community meeting space, Welcome and One-Stop Center, laboratories, and career placement. The Adult Education services will be included in the Student Center and will consist of four testing rooms, a tutoring center, four general education classrooms, and a large multipurpose space that can be subdivided. “This substantial development provides comprehensive student support services and programs in Waukegan designed to meet the regional high-demand advanced workforce needs,” said CLC Board of Trustees Chair Dr. William M. Griffin. “We want a firstclass facility in Waukegan. Together with Waukegan Mayor Sam Cunningham, we anticipate this urban campus project to serve as a catalyst for future downtown development.” “The Lakeshore Campus along Genesee Street serves as a community hub, supports economic growth by ensuring educational attainment leading to familysustaining careers, and through community partnerships, offers access to events and job fairs that benefit the entire community,” said CLC President Dr. Lori Suddick. In addition to the new construction, the project will include 4,665 square feet of existing building renovation consisting of improvements to the Children’s Learning Center and the science laboratory plus renovation for a new classroom. “The Capital Development Board is eager to kick off construction at the College of Lake County Lakeshore for their Student Services/Adult Education Building. The anticipated addition to the Lakeshore campus will help further establish the presence of the college in downtown Waukegan. The facility will be an impressive addition and will provide students with new spaces and opportunities to develop in their fields of interest and thrive,” said CDB Executive Director Jim Underwood. The completion of the Student Center will provide further opportunities for the college to continue program expansions in other fields of interest, including digital media, manufacturing, hospitality, horticulture, and entrepreneurship through the renovation of existing facilities. The historic Rebuild Illinois capital plan passed with bipartisan super-majorities and will invest $45 billion in roads, bridges, railways, universities, early childhood centers and state facilities like the new crime lab and veterans’ homes, creating and supporting an estimated 540,000 jobs over the life of the six-year plan and revitalizing local economies across the state.
