Historical Society hosting Cider Fest on Sunday Show off your baking skills, enjoy music, artisan’s, children’s activities and more

Is grandma’s cinnamon apple pie recipe melt-inyour-mouth marvelous? Do your apple bars take the cake? Now you have a chance to prove it,  as part of the 44th annual Cider Fest this Sunday, Oct. 3, as the McHenry County Historical Society is hosting its seventh annual Apple Bakeoff Contest. Registration begins at 9:30 a.m. with judging following at 10:30 a.m. in the 1895 West Harmony School.  The school is located on the museum grounds at 6422 Main St. in Union. Categories are apple pies, apple cakes and apple squares/bars. There is a $2 fee per item, one entry per category. First- second- and third-place contestants in each of the three categories will receive ribbons, with a special prize going to the grand champion. In addition to an amateur category, professional pie bakers are invited to enter an apple pie in third annual “Apple of My Eye” contest. The winner receives a trophy, with the runner-up and third-place entrees earning ribbons.  All baked goods entered should be in disposable containers or dishes marked with the contestant’s name and phone number for pickup after judging. Entries will be divided and repackaged for sale that day. All

proceeds benefit the nonprofit historical society. Visitors to the 44th annual Cider Fest will get an opportunity to step back in time with skilled artisans, a turn-of-the-century cider press, children’s activities, October music and vintage items for sale. Blacksmith Sam Johnson, flintknapper Richard Hamilton and broom maker Bob McCann will anchor this year’s festival, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 3, at the McHenry County Historical Museum in Union. The museum will open to the public, although face coverings are required indoors. Visitors also are welcome to tour the 1843 Gannon family and 1895 West Harmony one-room school. There is a pie-baking contest in the morning, judged – in part – by “Honest Abe” Lincoln re-enactor Gary Cooney of Huntley. Children’s activities begin at 11:30 a.m. and continue throughout the afternoon. Charlie B & Friends plays Octoberfest music starting at 12:30 p.m. There also will be a mum sale, a white elephant sale, silent auction, food booths, hot cider and doughnuts, a selfie station and more.

Apple orchards, pumpkin patches welcome fall customers By Kay Shipman FARMWEEK

Illinois growers anticipate visitors will gravitate to the country for fun, safe outdoor activities even with COVID-19 mitigation. Last year, apple orchards, pumpkin patches, U-pick operations and corn mazes became go-to destinations across the state when many traditional fall events were canceled or scaled back. New visitors joined regular customers as many growers experienced increased sales. Along with tasty food, people valued farm venues and country experiences. “We definitely saw a ton of new customers. People wanted something to do, and a lot of farms filled the gap. We had good attendance. I hope they’ll come back, and we get repeat customers,” said Craig Tanner, who owns and manages Tanners Orchard with his sister, Jennifer. Tanners Orchard, near Speer, is open daily for apple season with pumpkins available in late September. Follow the orchard on Facebook at tannersappleorchard. Agritourism operations reported 17 percent growth in customers in 2020, based on the results of a University of Illinois agricultural economics survey. While some experienced growth, others

reported mixed outcomes due to canceled classes, programs and private events, like school tours and weddings. As for COVID mitigation requirements, especially for indoor activities that return this fall, growers are keeping some of the practices and adaptations they added in 2020. “We’re trying to offer as many outside activities as possible,” said Mac Condill, general manager of the Great Pumpkin Patch near Arthur. The specialty farm’s 14 acres of diverse pumpkins, mazes, food and entertainment will all be outside. The on-farm Homestead Bakery will again sell baked goods and other food items outside “on the front porch,” Condill said. The Great Pumpkin Patch opened Sept. 22. Follow the specialty farm on Facebook at thegreatpumpkinpatch. The U of I survey found the pandemic changed business practices at some agritourism operations. Respondents reported they relied on more social media, grew website use and increased e-commerce. At Champaign’s Curtis Orchard and Pumpkin Patch, the family owners assessed last season’s new practices not only for health and safety aspects, but also for business purposes, according to

Randy Graham, manager and co-owner. “We said, ‘Hey, let’s look at it for efficiency. It will make the public safer and make the place function better,’” Graham said. Open for the season, the orchard is active on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube and LinkedIn. Visitors are finding the outdoor checkout stands returned, especially for pulling wagons to carry purchases from the fields and orchard. Graham noted the outdoor stands reduced traffic congestion in the on-farm store. At the Great Pumpkin Patch, the farm’s Bridle Shop, which sells gift and décor, will again have one-way traffic for entering and leaving the store. Again this fall, Condill, Tanner and Graham request customers wear masks indoors, based on Illinois and Centers for Disease Control guidelines. Graham noted about half of his customers already wore masks before Gov. JB Pritzker reissued an indoor mask requirement Aug. 26. “Our employees are all wearing masks,” he added. Wide-open spaces provide plenty of social distancing at the Great Pumpkin Patch, and the Condill family has thought of ways to provide visitors

Visitors will find apples, pumpkins, activities and entertainment available outdoors at local orchards and pumpkin patches now through the end of October.

even more elbow room. “We’ve spent 18 months thinking of ways to open the farm up even more,” Condill said. “We’ve almost doubled the sizes of picnic areas.” Another pandemic-related issue of having enough employees finds Tanner and Graham on different ends of the spectrum. Tanner hired many repeat employees and high school students to work evenings and on weekends. For other busi-

ness hours? “It ends up being a lot of retirees who want a part-time job,” he said. But Graham said the worker shortage caught him off guard after having sufficient staff last year. “In 40-plus years, I’ve never seen it so difficult to hire people. We’ve been open since July 20 and business has been good. We just need more help to give people the experience we’re known for.”

All three growers anticipate, and hope, visitors again flock to their agritourism farms for apples, pumpkins and more. “We’ll provide the beauty of farms to people,” Condill said.

ee—identified in Dent’s court petition as Person A—and a witness to separate “drunk and disorderly” conduct by Dent at a different location than where the alleged harassment occurred – identified as Person B – are protected by the court principle of “qualified privilege,” allowing for their anonymity in a sexual harassment case. Dent’s lawyers argued that he’s entitled to know the identities and locations of Person A and Person B through the presuit discovery process because their statements were false and defamatory. The individuals, not Constellation, are the publishers of the defamatory claims, his lawyers argued. Constellation’s lawyers argued the employees should remain anonymous because their statements were made as part of a privileged confidential

workplace investigation of sexual harassment. Specifically, Person A alleged that Dent told her at a 2016 Constellation-sponsored golf outing that she had “a butt like a sister.” Then, at a pre-golf outing party held at the Shedd Aquarium in July 2018, Dent allegedly groped the woman, according to court documents. Person B, the witness cited by Constellation, allegedly noted he observed that Dent was “drunk and disorderly” while picking up golf materials at the nearby Marriott Hotel in Chicago at an event related to the 2018 outing but separate from where the alleged harassment occurred. Dent’s petition is also seeking the identity of Person C, which his legal team identified in the court filing as an “investigator” examining the harassment claims on behalf of Constellation. In their own court filings, Constellation’s lawyers noted that the investigators were in fact Grace Speights and Theos McKinney, the two lawyers that spoke to Dent during the Sept. 14, 2018 meeting. Constellation’s lawyers argued that because Dent now knows the identity of Person C, he can file a defamation suit against them and later seek the identities of Persons A and B.

But Dent’s team said McKinney and Speights did not identify themselves as investigators to Dent at the meeting, and Person C’s identity was not known when the petition before the court was filed, meaning it’s outside of the scope of what the court should consider. “In order to use the qualified privilege of an employee to report workplace harassment to the employer, Constellation needed to have more facts than it had divulged in the September 2018 meeting, and more facts than it had stated in the December 2018 letter,” Neilan said. The case started in 2019 in Cook County Circuit Court, which sided with Constellation. But the 1st District Court of Appeals sided with Dent, which led Constellation’s legal team to bring the challenge to the Supreme Court. Constellation’s attorney, J. Timothy Eaton, of Taft, Stettinius & Hollister LLP, urged the court in oral arguments Wednesday to reverse the appellate court’s decision, saying the “chilling effect” would be “obvious” if Constellation was forced to divulge the identity of the alleged victim and the witness. “This court must balance a potential defamation plaintiff’s right to redress against the danger of setting the standard

A case before the Illinois Supreme Court centers on whether a former Super Bowl MVP has a right to learn the identity of a woman who accused him of sexual harassment, allegedly leading to the termination of contracts between his energy services company and a subsidiary of Exelon Corporation. Richard Dent, a Pro Football Hall-of-Famer and Chicago Bears defensive lineman from 1983 to 1993, is the proprietor of RLD Resources LLC, a business specializing in energy products and services, according to its website. RLD had several energy supply and marketing contracts with Constellation NewEnergy Inc. and related companies, according to court documents. Constellation is a subsidiary of Exelon. But Dent’s lawyers, led by

in-house attorney Paul G. Neilan, alleged that those contracts were terminated on Oct. 1, 2018, after Dent was informed in a Sept. 14, 2018, meeting with two of Constellation’s lawyers that he was the subject of a sexual harassment complaint by a female employee of Constellation. A letter sent from Constellation to Dent’s lawyers in December 2018 concluded that “although Mr. Dent denied the allegations, his denials were not credible and the investigation concluded that the reports accurately described behaviors that were, at a minimum, in violation of Exelon’s code of business conduct, completely outside the norms of socially acceptable behavior, and demeaning to Constellation employees.” Now, the court is asked to decide whether the employ-

to prove an abuse of privilege so low that it effectively chills the victim’s right to speak confidentially and exposes the victim to a retaliatory response,” Eaton argued. The fact that Dent denies the allegations was not enough to overcome the qualified privilege because Dent did not provide facts to show that the allegations were made “in bad faith,” Eaton said. But Justice Rita B. Garman questioned whether someone in Dent’s position could ever “gain enough info to overcome” qualified privilege if the identity of the accuser remains unknown. Eaton reiterated the court must balance Dent’s rights to redress “with the rights of the victim who, in an interview, assumed confidentiality.” “The studies have shown that in combating sexual harassment in the workplace, less than 14 percent of the workplace sexual harassment victims report their harassers,” he said. “Most of them don’t report because they fear retaliation and because confidentiality concerns are part of why they don’t come forward to complain.” More than 30 organizations, including ACLU Illinois, Women Employed and the National Women’s Law Center, filed a brief in support of Constellation’s argument. Dent’s team argued in court filings that because the contracts were at-will, Constellation could have protected the identities of persons A, B and C by terminating the contracts without mention of sexual harassment. That they did not do so means “Constellation’s actions repudiate its own warning” regarding fears of retaliation, according to a court filing.

Woodstock crowned Hometown Techover winner

3 million dollar upgrade will make it a crown jewel of 5G small towns T-Mobile (NASDAQ: TMUS) names Woodstock, Illinois as the inaugural T-Mobile Homtown Techoverwinner, scoring a $3 million technology upgrade including a $200,000 grant, 5G network enhancements, a Little League® Baseball field refurbishment, a free concert featuring multi-platinum duo Florida Georgia Line … and so much more. And if you’re not a Woodstockian, fret not — this is just the beginning. T-Mobile will continue blanketing Small Town USA with 5G network enhancements as part of the company’s commitment to rural America, showcasing the kind of good that can be done with the nation’s largest, fastest, most reliable 5G network. Out of the 10 incredible finalist towns, Woodstock took the win based on enthusiasm, commitment to the process, and the special nature of the town. With personal involvement from the mayor, city manager, public works, chamber president and many other key townspeople, Woodstock was a competition standout. A tight-knit community that prides itself on the values and charm of a small town, while also integrating a contemporary and progressive mindset, the people of Woodstock enjoy a diverse economy, a strong youth sports program, and a downtown square brimming with small businesses that will benefit from 5G and the $200,000 community grant. “Choosing a Hometown Techover winner was no easy task, with so many fantastic entries across the nation, but the people of Woodstock, Illinois are primed and ready to become the 5G model for

small towns nationwide,” said Jon Freier, Executive Vice President of Consumer Group at T-Mobile. “They’re going to show Small Town America all the ways 5G can transform and more deeply connect a community, and we’ll be here every step of the way through this massive technology upgrade.” As part of their winnings, the town of Woodstock will score a mass of tech goods and services for the community-as-a-whole as well as individual households, worth more than $3 million. Among the goodness: Community Grant: A $200,000 T-Mobile Hometown Grant and technical assistance services from Smart Growth America (SGA). SGA will develop and deliver analyses and a workshop to support Woodstock’s efforts toward continued economic vibrancy. • Play Ball: Little League® field refurbishment including a tech upgrade and T-Mobile Little League Call UP Grant support • Public Space Tech Upgrade: An Un-carrier style upgrade to a public space like a library, community center or town square • Access to T-Mobile Resources: Concierge enrollment in T-Mobile’s Project 10 Million and Connecting Heroes programs • T-Mobile Magenta Ticket: 100 lucky Woodstock households will snag a prize pack including free wireless service and home internet for a year, plus new 5G phones and an HDTV! Keep your eyes out for that winning ticket! • And last, but certainly not least, the bash of all bash-

es!: A free concert for the winning town with 19-time chart-topping, multi-platinum duo Florida Georgia Line “Smart Growth America is committed to the success of small cities and rural communities. Having worked in over 130 cities and towns of all sizes over the years, we know what it takes to help them capitalize on what makes them great places to call home,” said Calvin Gladney, President and CEO of Smart Growth America. “We are excited about the opportunities afforded to these rural places by T-Mobile. Woodstock, IL is a unique community that is keenly aware of its sense of place, is anchored by a vibrant downtown, and possesses both a compelling vision for the future and the capacity to fulfill that vision. We are eager to help them continue on their quest.” 5G is Coming to Woodstock T-Mobile’s 5G network enhancements will transform how the residents of Woodstock work and play. Today’s office is virtually anywhere, and it’s spurring a greater demand for services that keep people connected from their home to the office and the places in between. And, people want connectivity that will enable their whole family to work and learn all day long without any buffering or spinning wheel. They want to listen to stereo quality music without waiting. And they demand high-quality video calls on the go that don’t freeze or drop, web pages that open in the blink of an eye and large files that download in a flash. 5G is connecting us to our world in powerful new ways that will turn

these consumer demands into a reality, and the residents of Woodstock are about to experience it all, AND with bragging rights — they’re about to become the 5G model for small towns nationwide. “With this Hometown Techover, we’re going to do so much good for the residents of Woodstock — starting with transforming the town square with technology, to bolster our small businesses and bring more young people to town,” said Mike Turner, Mayor of Woodstock. “And, youth sports are big here, so we’re thrilled to fast-track plans we’d already put into motion to upgrade our Little League parks. Thank you, T-Mobile! We’re ready to show Small Town America just what the nation’s best 5G can do.” Commitment to Rural America T-Mobile Hometown Techover is just one of the many initiatives underscoring T-Mobile’s commitment to rural America. Beyond amazing deals on plans and new devices, the Un-carrier’s unleashed a new broadband service available to nearly 10 million rural households — T-Mobile Home Internet — and a commitment to build hundreds of new stores and create 7,500 new jobs supporting the wireless needs of communities across rural America. T-Mobile is also committing $25 million to small town grants during the next five years to help fund community development projects in rural areas across the country to help jumpstart stalled projects and get new ones off the ground.

Challenges likely in both courts

By Peter Hancock

CAPITOL NEWS ILLINOIS

Despite opposition from Republicans as well as reform groups, Gov. JB Pritzker on Sept. 24 signed into law the revised state legislative district maps that lawmakers passed in August, opening the door to almost certain court challenges. “These legislative maps align with the landmark Voting Rights Act and will help ensure Illinois’ diversity is reflected in the halls of government,” Pritzker said in a statement. But not everyone agrees that the maps do reflect the state’s diversity. The political action arm of the reform group CHANGE Illinois issued a statement arguing that they actually dilute minority voting power. “Many major groups agree the new maps reduce the numbers of majority Black voting age population districts and majority Latino voting age population districts,” the group said in a statement. “The Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund’s lawyers have said they believe the state representative and Senate maps dilute Latino voting power. The Latino Policy Forum asked Pritzker to veto the maps for the same reason. Illinois African Americans for Equitable Redistricting also said the maps do not create enough Black majority voting age districts.” Lawmakers initially adopted maps during the spring legislative session in order to meet the state constitution’s June 30 deadline, despite the fact that they didn’t yet have the official, detailed U.S. Census data needed to draw districts with nearly equal population. Republican leaders, as well as the Mexican American Legal Defense and Education Fund, or MALDEF, quickly filed a federal lawsuit in Chicago arguing that they were unconstitutional because they were based on population estimates from survey data rather than official census numbers. When the official numbers finally came out in midAugust, they did in fact show that population variances between districts were far outside what is allowed under U.S. constitutional law, prompting Democratic leaders to call a special session to adjust the new maps. Republicans argue, however, that those maps were passed well after the state constitution’s June 30 deadline and, therefore, the task should be given to a bipartisan commission, a process in which Republicans would have a 50-50 chance of gaining a partisan advantage. That decision will ultimately be up to the courts. There have been efforts in the past in Illinois to establish a permanent nonpartisan commission to redraw maps every 10 years, an idea that Pritzker and many Democratic lawmakers have said they support. But no such plan has gotten through the General Assembly. “Governor Pritzker’s signing of the legislative maps sends a clear picture of the severity of his ‘retrograde amnesia’ and efforts to deceive Illinois citizens,” House Republican Leader Jim Durkin, of Western Springs, said in a statement. “The governor now joins the multitude of Democratic legislators who lied to voters by campaigning for and promising ‘fair maps.’” “Rarely do politicians get the chance to break a campaign promise twice,” said Senate Minority Leader Dan McConchie, of Hawthorn Woods. “I am deeply disappointed that Gov. Pritzker has turned his back on the many minority organizations that have asked him to protect their voting rights outlined in the constitution and Voting Rights Act by vetoing this gerrymandered map.”

Supreme Court eviction order extended to coincide with governor’s moratorium Stay on judgements for ‘covered persons’ is set to expire Oct. 3 CAPITOL NEWS ILLINOIS

The Illinois Supreme Court has extended its order limiting judgements in certain eviction cases to Oct. 3, putting it in line with the governor’s latest executive order. The only thing changed in the Supreme Court order was the date it is set to expire, from Sept. 18 to Oct. 3. It still prevents dispositive motions, trials on the merits or judgments in residential eviction proceedings against a “covered person.” Eviction cases can otherwise proceed as normal. Covered persons include those who expect to earn less than $99,000 individually or $198,000 in a joint filing household, if they’ve experienced financial hardships due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The tenant must also certify they are making “best efforts to make timely partial payments that are as close to the full payment” as “circumstances permit.” An eviction case can be exempt from the order if the landlord can prove they shared the necessary documentation with the tenant but did not receive proof that the tenant qualified as a covered person. Landlords can also seek a judgement if a rental aid application has been denied or if the tenant refused to apply for one. In a news release, the court said the extension will allow more renters to apply for aid

through a court-based rental assistance program which launched earlier this month and received $60 million in funding. That program would allow a tenant to receive up to 12 months of past-due rent and three months in future rent, provided they can prove a loss of income due to COVID-19. The Supreme Court has required that any summons in an eviction case must be accompanied by a form informing the tenant and landlord of the court-based program. It includes information on the program, what documentation is needed and the web address for the court-based aid, ilrpp. ihda.org. The Illinois Housing Development Authority call center can be reached at 866454-3571. The governor’s order, which he extended Sept. 17, prevents law enforcement from enforcing an eviction of a covered person. Assistance may also still be available in certain areas through the Illinois Department of Human Services and the IHDA, the two state agencies overseeing disbursement of federal funding, at https:// www.illinoisrentalassistance. org/providers. In a statement, Pritzker’s office noted Illinois paid out more than $230 million in federal funds in 2020 and has made more than $500 million available this year for rental

assistance programs. “While the eviction moratorium has kept families suffering hardship from losing their homes during the pandemic, these programs and additional resources will ensure families have a roof over their heads while they regain their financial footing into the future,” Alex Hanns, a Pritzker spokesperson, said in an email. “As we continue with the planned sunset of the eviction moratorium in coordination with the court system, the Illinois Housing Development Authority will continue to review the pipeline of completed applications, and the Illinois Department of Human Services will continue to accept applications for additional rental assistance until funding runs out,” he added. The funds come from the federal government, which means applicants must be under certain income limits as defined by the U.S. Treasury. Those earning 80 percent of the area median income or less are eligible. That threshold differs based on the county, ranging from $35,700 in Alexander County to $52,200 in Cook County. It goes up about $5,000-$6,000 for each additional person in the household. Free legal assistance may be accessed through Eviction Help Illinois by visiting evictionhelpillinois.org or calling 855-631-0811.

Lake County households receive assistance through FERA Program Lake County’s Federal Emergency Rental Assistance (FERA) Program, which provides help for individuals paying rent and/or utility bills, has processed 1,820 applications since the program opened in April 2021. Out of the applications that have been processed, 1,300 individuals were eligible based on the program’s criteria and received funding, which comes to 72 percent of the processed applications. “We are receiving calls every day from individuals who are interested in the FERA program, and we are working hard to assist those struggling from financial hardship due to COVID-19,” said Brenda O’Connell, Community Development Administrator. “This money is helping to improve the lives of our residents by providing them with some peace of mind.” As of July 31, Lake County has spent $9 million of the $20.6 million provided from the federal government for the FERA program, which will be used to help residents pay their rent and utility bills

and enable them to stay in their homes. “When the program was first announced at the federal level, Lake County immediately jumped at the chance to receive funding for our residents in need,” said Lake County Board Chair Sandy Hart. “With the help of our dedicated staff and program partners, we have been able to use a great deal of our available funds already. We encourage anyone who may be eligible to apply for the program.” Lake County is working with 15 community partners who work directly with the applicant to review their application and determine funding eligibility. About half of the providers have Spanish-speaking staff and can accept and process applications in Spanish. Having community partners greatly increases the capacity of applications that are able to be processed. “In addition to our community partners who work with applicants, we also have a FERA representative available at the Lake County Courthouse every Thursday,”

McHenry County Sheriff’s Registered sexual predator arrested for arrest bulletin

Court & crime news

trying to lure a North Carolina boy

On September 20, 2021, Lake County Sheriff’s Detectives conducted a search warrant at a registered sexual predator’s home. The search warrant was obtained after detectives received information the man was attempting to lure an out of state child to his home in the 500 block of Rockland Road, unincorporated Lake Bluff.

Earlier this year, Lake County Sheriff’s Detectives were contacted by Cumberland County Sheriff’s Office (North Carolina) because a parent of a 12-year-old boy who resides in North Carolina made a police report with them. The parent located concerning text messages and TikTok messages, which were found to have been sent by Jason M. Silsdorf, 36, of the above address, to their son. The text messages indicated Silsdorf was making arrangements with the child to travel to his unincorporated Lake Bluff residence. Further investigation re-

vealed Silsdorf purchased a bus ticket and emailed it to the boy. The ticket was intended for the boy to take the bus from a bus station near his house to Chicago, where Silsdorf was going to meet him and drive him to Silsdorf’s home. Being a registered sexual predator, Silsdorf is required to disclose all of his social media accounts and telephone numbers while conducting his annual registrations with the sheriff’s office. Detectives discovered Silsdorf was utilizing social media accounts and a telephone number that he had not disclosed. After reviewing the facts and circumstances of the case, on September 16, 2021, the Lake County State’s Attorney’s Office drafted an arrest warrant for Silsdorf for: Luring (class 2 felony) and Unlawful Failure of a Sexual Offender to Report an Internet Site (class 2 felony). On September 17, 2021, a sheriff’s detective pre-

Two vehicle fatal crash under investigation

A 44-year old Marengo woman died following a two-vehicle crash that occurred in unincorporated Woodstock. On September 22, 2021, at 8:16 p.m., the McHenry County Sheriff’s Office, Marengo Fire Protection District, Huntley Fire Protection District, and Union Fire Protection District responded to a two-vehicle crash involving a red 2019 Dodge Challenger and gray 2016 Mazda 6 on Illinois Route 176 west of Sunny-

side Road. Preliminary investigation indicated that the Dodge, driven by a 44-year-old Marengo man, was traveling west on Illinois Route 176 west of Sunnyside Road, and the Mazda, driven by a 27-year-old Union woman, was traveling east on Illinois Route 176 approaching that location. For unknown reasons, the Dodge crossed the center line and crashed into the Mazda. The passenger of the Dodge, a 44-year-old Marengo woman, was ejected from the vehicle and died at the scene. The driver of the Dodge was transported by helicopter to Advocate Condell Medical Center in Libertyville with serious injuries. The driver of the Mazda and her passenger, a 4-year-old male, were transported from the scene by ambulance to Northwestern Hospital in Woodstock. The 4-year-old male was later transported by ambulance to Lurie Children’s Hospital of Chicago with serious injuries. Two dogs were also inside the Mazda at the time of the crash. One dog died in the crash and the other was taken to an emergency veterinarian for observation. Illinois Route 176 between Sunnyside Road and Timber Lane was closed for approximately six hours for the investigation. The occupants of the Dodge were not wearing seatbelts. The driver of the Mazda was wearing a seatbelt and the passenger was restrained in a child safety seat. Alcohol is believed to be a factor in the crash. The investigation is ongoing by the McHenry County Sheriff’s Office Major Crash Investigation Unit and the McHenry County Coroner’s Office.

Temporary open burn ordinance continues through end of 2021 The Lake County Board recently voted to amend a temporary emergency ordinance that allows open burning on all properties in unincorporated Lake County from sunrise to sunset only on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays. The ordinance also allows open burning from sunrise to sunset on any day of the week if the burning occurs at least 500 feet from the nearest habitable structure and has exemptions for prescribed habitat and ecological landscape burns. The ordinance is effective through Jan. 1, 2022. Per Section 307.5 of the 2012 International Fire Code, all fires must be attended and there must be an extinguishing device immediately available, such as a hose with running water. This temporary ordinance has been in place for much of 2021 while the Lake County Board explores options and

alternatives for permanent restrictions on open burning and consolidated waste hauling services (including landscape waste) in the unincorporated areas. There are alternative to burning yard waste that can have positive impacts on the areas surrounding your home. Consider mulching and composting as a way to eliminate burning of yard waste. Lake County is currently considering reasonable permanent restrictions on open burning and consolidated waste hauling services in the unincorporated areas. Learn more and share input, questions, and concerns directly to the County’s project team through their interactive website at https://clean-air-lakecountyil.hub.arcgis.com/. To report an open burning violation occurring in an unincorporated area, please call the Lake County Open Burning Hotline at 847-377-2999.

sented the information to a Lake County Judge who approved the arrest warrant, setting bond at $3,000,000. The Judge also authorized a search warrant for Silsdorf’s residence. Silsdorf was arrested without incident at his residence. Several electronic items were seized by detectives and will be further examined. Silsdorf remains held in the Lake County Jail pending an initial court hearing. “The internet is a very easy place for predators to hide,” said Sheriff John D. Idleburg. “Any parent would be shocked to learn their child is engaging in communication with a sexual predator, but it happens far too often. Thankfully, in this case, an alert parent found concerning messages before their child boarded a bus out of state. Please always monitor your children’s online communications.” All defendants are presumed innocent unless proven guilty in a court of law.
