College of Lake County begins $48 million Lakeshore Campus expansion
In collaboration with the Illinois Capital Development Board, College of Lake County (CLC) will soon begin construction on a new six-story building to enhance the urban Lakeshore Campus in Waukegan. Please excuse the noise and truck traffic as construction begins so CLC can provide local students with $48 million of expansion to increase educational opportunities. The college is here for all Lake County residents, and those in the northeastern part of Lake County will especially benefit from the campus’ growing location in downtown Waukegan. It’s easily accessible by car, bus, bike, train or on foot. More than one-third of CLC students live in the northeastern part of Lake County. The Lakeshore Campus along Genesee Street serves as a community hub, supports economic growth by ensuring educational attainment leading to family-sustaining careers, and through community partnerships, offers access to events and job fairs that benefit the entire community, CLC President Dr. Lori Suddick explained as she presented an update to the Waukegan City Council on Tuesday, Sept. 8. “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 first-class facility in Waukegan. Together with Waukegan Mayor Sam Cunningham, we anticipate this urban campus project to serve as a catalyst for future downtown development. We are in partnership with him in our desire to further build Waukegan as a college town.” Mayor Cunningham said he is excited that CLC is moving forward with the project. “The expansion of professional-level training along with added curriculum of college-level courses provided at CLC’s Lakeshore Campus will help further establish their presence in downtown Waukegan,” he said. “The city of Waukegan and the College of Lake County are working in partnership to identify the needs of the residents in northeast Lake County and provide the services necessary to help them succeed in their post-secondary education or professional development. This will be an amazing new facility that will utilize Waukegan’s access to public transportation, will connect directly to our vibrant arts community and will highlight some of our most scenic
views of our lakefront and downtown opportunities.” The new building, a Student Center at 34 N. Sheridan Road, is a highly anticipated addition to Waukegan’s lakeshore landscape. It will be fully integrated on campus, linking the second and third floors to the college’s 33 N. Genesee building. Substantial completion of the Student Center is expected by fall 2022. The Student Center will include 62,692 square feet of new construction and will house support services, a library, community meeting space, Welcome and OneStop Center, laboratories and career placement. Adult education services also will be included and integrated into the new Student Center. Further, the new building will include four testing rooms, a tutoring center, four general education classrooms and large multi-purpose space that can be subdivided. 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 in 33 N. Genesee St. plus renovation for a new classroom in 111 N. Genesee St. Over the past two years, with the support of the Board

The State has announced a second round of Business Interruption Grant (BIG) funds to help all types of small businesses with a focus on disproportionately impacted areas (DIAs) and heavily distressed industries, such as movie theatres, performing arts venues, concert venues, indoor recreation and amusement parks. Applications for the $220 million in new BIG grants are
available starting today – and time is of the essence. Early applications are encouraged as it is anticipated that funds will be depleted quickly. With the first round of BIG grants, the State awarded nearly half a million in funding to 31 McHenry County small businesses, including restaurants, personal care services, gyms and fitness clubs hit hardest by COVID-19.

fairly easy. Unanimously, the Fire District agreed, this is not the time to ask for taxpayer support in the means of a tax increase. Discussions were in line with hopes our community will take note that we are doing what we can with what we have while realizing there continues to be an ever growing need to repair and maintain the infrastructure that exists. Further they recognize that the growing number of calls for service will require additional personnel in the non-traditional part-time firefighter model used in Antioch. The entire Fire District Board agreed that while there is an urgent need to seek additional revenue, this is not the time for a tax increase. They further agreed to monitor the health of our community to determine if spring of 2021 would be the time to ask our community again to support the growing needs of their Fire Department.

can we do to support our business community? Some discussions were deliberated at length and others were a fast and easy decision. A lengthier discussion was how to help the businesses. While it would impact revenue needed for our operational budget the Fire District Board directed the Fire Chief to develop a budget that did not include the revenue collected from Fire Department safety inspections of the businesses. The Board voted to suspend these fees for the 2020-21 budget year to do our part to assist businesses in our community while insisting the Fire Inspector carryout this valuable service to the community. A longer discussion is ongoing, how long can we continue to put off the infrastructure and personnel needs? Since it would be a year before a successful referendum would generate any additional income, the Board directed the Chief to do what he can to continue to prioritize the needs of the department with the current income revenue. The other questions were
If this pandemic has shown us anything, it’s that we are all in the same storm, but not the same boat. Some have a vessel with unlimited resources, and as obstacles arise they can tap into a network of funds, friends, and family that can help weather the storm with ease. Others are in a vessel with leaks and holes, with limited life lines, and circumstances that have left them behind in the swim to shore… As schools went remote, as businesses and buildings shut down, as the world went insular and each of us hunkered down into the safety of our homes; there was one thing we could all rely on; the local resources and information from our town of Antioch. We discovered we are small but mighty. We also discovered that in our community there is a vast range of the haves and the have nots. The playing field is not level and when resources are critical like internet connection, news, remote learning capabilities, childcare, safe environments, meeting space, healthcare information, job opportunities, and community outreach programs, the one place that levels the playing field, and offers a life raft for everyone, is the Antioch library. No matter who you are there

ty. The pandemic had shuttered the doors to businesses throughout the Antioch Community and left many of our residents out of work. Due to the shelter in place, calls for service in April and May were below years past but soon began to return to normal expectations. The Fire District Trustees and Fire Chief began to plan and assess how another run at a tax increase would affect the Antioch Community. While none of the needs and growth within the Fire District had changed, the discussion and concerns would always come back to the physical and financial health of our Community. Could our citizens see the need to support and maintain a growing need for service? With the uncertain employment status of our citizens, could they afford the additional tax? Can our business community afford a tax increase after being shut down with the potential future shutdowns in the coming year? How much longer can the Fire Department continue to put off the growing list of infrastructure needs? What
In the spring election of 2020, the First Fire Protection District of Antioch went to the voters to seek permission to approve a tax increase in the form of a referendum question. This increase was being sought to address the growing need to fund infrastructure shortfalls and to increase staffing levels to cover the growing call volume on the east side of the Fire District. Our efforts fell short and the voters felt this was not the time to approve an increase. Since that election the Fire District has navigated through the COVID-19 Pandemic that had mandated many protocol changes in how we respond to calls for emergency service and added additional monetary strains on the department. Operationally many infrastructure needs were again put on hold and we entered our new budget year with some uncertain-
opportunity to succeed and prosper,” he wrote. Gaskins said what the next month, quarter or year will look like is not known. “We can promise you – our members, sponsors and supporters – that the Geneva Lake West Chamber of Commerce will continue to devote our time, energy and resources to your success,” he said. He said the chamber is excited to develop new and innovative networking and educational resources and the focus, energy and labor of the chamber is dedicated to one thing: the success of its member businesses. “Now and in the future, we are proud to be by your side,” he said. There are several exciting events for the fall in the works, including the Autumn Food Festival at the Abbey Resort, set for Oct. 10 and 11. The Geneva Lake West Chamber of Commerce is at 175 Valley View (in the Visitor Information Center at Fontana Village Hall), Fontana.

Those local businesses were among nearly 2,800 total small businesses across the state to receive these grants. The State will prioritize funding for the second round of BIG grants to disproportionately impacted areas (DIAs) and heavily impacted industry and regions – representing businesses that have been unable to reopen or operating at a severely diminished capacity since the spring. According to the State, DIAs are defined by zip codes and identified by the General Assembly for communities that are most economically distressed and vulnerable to COVID-19. In McHenry County, that includes Harvard and Richmond areas. See mchenrycountyil.gov for more information and links.

Madigan probe paused pending U.S. Attorney’s guidance Democratic, Republican leaders differ on what they’ve been told so far
By Peter Hancock CAPITOL NEWS ILLINOIS
The Democratic chairman and ranking Republican on a special legislative committee investigating House Speaker Michael Madigan both said Sept. 15 that they are awaiting further guidance from federal prosecutors about how far they can go in questioning witnesses and calling for documents. The Special Investigating Committee held its first meeting last week, during which members voted unanimously not to take any substantive action that could interfere with an ongoing criminal investigation. They also authorized Chairman Emanuel “Chris” Welch, D-Hillside, and Rep. Tom Demmer, R-Dixon, to contact the U.S. Attorney’s office for guidance on how to avoid interference. Also during that meeting,
Republicans unveiled a list of potential witnesses they would like to give testimony and produce various documents. Madigan was implicated in July in an alleged bribery scheme involving Commonwealth Edison, the state’s largest electric utility, when officials from the company entered what’s known as a “deferred prosecution agreement.” In that agreement, company officials admitted that, over a period of years, they handed out jobs and contracts to close Madigan associates in an effort to curry his favor for legislation that benefitted the company. Madigan has not been charged and has denied any wrongdoing. But Republicans in the Illinois House have invoked a House rule to commence a committee to explore punitive actions against the
long-serving speaker, up to and including expulsion from the House. House Republicans have accused Madigan of a of non-criminal charge under House rules—“conduct unbecoming to a legislator or which constitutes a breach of public trust,” which is elaborated as “engaging in a bribery scheme, an extortion scheme, conspiracy to violate federal and state laws, among other misconduct and misuse of office.” The six-member investigative committee is evenly divided between Democrats and Republicans, but a majority vote is required to approve such a charge, which means at least one Democrat would have to vote with Republicans in order to send the charge to a separate disciplinary committee. In separate emails Sept. 15,
both Welch and Demmer confirmed that they had spoken by phone with John Lausch Jr., the U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Illinois, and that Lausch had given them clearance to call witnesses. But that’s where their interpretations of the conversation start to differ. “We were advised that the US Attorney’s Office does not object to the work of the Committee, nor do they object to the calling of any of the names on our initial witness list, including Speaker Madigan,” Demmer said in a statement. “We appreciate their attention to this very serious matter, and we look forward to the committee meeting next week to continue its work on behalf of the people of Illinois.” Welch, by contrast, gave a very different summary of the
conversation. “The U.S. Attorney made it clear we could seek testimony from whoever we choose; however, they requested we refrain from seeking any materials or testimony related to the (deferred prosecution agreement) that is still confidential or anything in the possession of the federal government,” Welch said. “In other words, we can call witnesses, but we can’t really ask them any questions.” The deferred prosecution agreement actually mentions very few specific names. Even Madigan is described only as “Public Official A,” although it also describes that person as the Speaker of the House and the longest-serving member of the House. Other people are identified with such descriptors as “Individual A,” “Associate 1,” “Associate 2” and “CEO-1.”
But in a subpoena served on Madigan’s office in July, several individuals are identified by name, including a number of former ComEd lobbyists and former ComEd CEO Anne Pramaggiore. Many of them also appear on the Republicans’ proposed witness list. The competing interests between federal prosecutors and the legislative committee has the potential to set up a rare kind of conflict between the federal and state government, pitting the authority of the Justice Department to prosecute federal crimes against the authority of a state legislative body to enforce its own rules and police its own membership. Both Welch and Demmer said they are now waiting for Lausch to provide them with a written summary of the conversation.
‘A Way Out’ back up and operational despite COVID-19 Lake County State’s Attorney Michael Nerheim has announced the nationally-recognized “A Way Out” program is back up and running at full capacity as of August. The program had been temporarily forced to operate in limited capacity in Lake County due to COVID-19. People suffering from addiction and looking for treatment resources can again enter one of 14 participating police departments in Lake County to seek help. Those in need will not be turned away from the program, even when they lack the means to pay for treatment through insurance or other financial resources. “I’m truly excited to know the “A Way Out” pro-
gram is back up and fully operational,” Nerheim said. “This program is extremely helpful to assist with treatment for those struggling with addiction.” Nerheim added, “The pandemic has presented many challenges to all of us and I am proud that, at a time when many substance abuse providers closed their doors or limited services, this program never shut down and was able to help people in need the best way possible at the time. Now we have even more resources available to those seeking help and the need is greater than ever.” “A Way Out” is an Illinois Law Enforcement Assisted Diversion program specifi-
cally designed to fast-track those who need treatment to substance abuse programs and services, said Bill Gentes, Executive Director of the Lake County Opioid Initiative. The program was developed by the Lake County Opioid Initiative to create additional treatment access points, reduce crime, reduce substance-related harms, reframe the role law enforcement plays in community safety, and unite the community, Gentes said. To date, 743 clients have taken advantage of the “A Way Out” program in Lake County since the program was initiated in 2016. In a non-COVID year, the program assists about 220 clients
annually, though the number of people helped in 2020 has dipped to below 100 because of COVID-19. The program is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week at participating police departments across Lake County. Those departments include the Lake County Sheriff’s Office, as well as police departments in Antioch, Deerfield, Fox Lake, Grayslake/ Hainesville, Gurnee, Lake Forest, Lake Zurich, Libertyville, Mundelein, Round Lake Beach, Round Lake Park, Wauconda and Zion. People turning themselves in to the Lake County Sheriff’s Office can do so in the main lobby, the highway patrol substation in Libertyville, or the

People can simply tell the clerk at the participating police department reception window they want to participate in “A Way Out.” People seeking help after open lobby hours should locate a call box and tell dispatch you want to participate in the program. Those who choose to join the program will not be charged criminally if in possession of narcotics or paraphernalia when they turn themselves in, as long as assistance is sought out by the prospective program participant. For too long, substance abuse has been stigmatized and dealt with as a crimi-
nal issue rather than a public health problem that needs to be addressed. The Lake County Opioid Initiative is committed to developing innovative ways to create positive change in our community as it regards substance use and mental health. “This pandemic has been exceptionally hard on everyone, including those struggling with addiction,” Nerheim said. “But, thanks to persistence by everyone involved in this program, we were able to keep it functioning throughout and are again fully operational.” For more information about the program, please review their website at opioidinitiative.org/awayout..
Crystal Lake man receives six-year sentence for DUI Patrick D. Kenneally, McHenry County state’s attorney, announced that 48-year-old Geu Geron-Borjas of Crystal Lake was sentenced to six years in the Illinois Department of Corrections for the offense of aggravated driving under the influence by the Honorable Judge Wilbrandt on Sept. 3. On June 1, 2019, the defendant drove his Dodge Charger in the wrong lane of traffic on Route 47 and collided with a Chevrolet Express containing teenage occupants. One of the teenagers suffered great bodily harm as a result of the crash. The defendant
later submitted to chemical testing, which revealed his blood alcohol level was .148. The defendant’s driving privileges had previously been revoked and he has two prior violations for Driving Under the Influence of Alcohol. The defendant is also subject to truth in sentencing guidelines because of the great bodily harm suffered by the victim. This case was investigated by members of the Woodstock Police Department. This case was prosecuted by Susanne Groebner of the McHenry County State’s Attorney’s Office.
OAKtober native tree and shrub sale underway The Lake County Forest Preserves is holding its popular OAKtober Native Tree & Shrub Sale online this season and encouraging homeowners to place orders from the convenience of home. The plants will be available for curbside pickup from 9 am–12pm on Sunday, October 4 at Ryerson Conservation Area in Riverwoods. Halfhour time slots will be assigned alphabetically. “We’ll load the plants right into your car, contact free,” said Director of Education Nan Buckardt. “Fall is the best time to plant trees and shrubs,” Buckardt said. “Plant metabolism is slowing and this lessens the stress for the newly planted tree,” she said. “Choose your favorite plants from our list of 24 spe-
cies, including oaks, hickory, hawthorns, dogwood, hazelnut and more,” Buckardt said. Plants are available in 5-gallon, 1-gallon, and 1-inch-diameter sizes. “Our OAKtober woody plant sale offers native tree and shrub species with genetics adapted for our region,” she said. Plant inventory is limited. Species are available while supplies last. Preorders are filled on a first-come, first-served basis. Sales are open through Thursday, October 1. To protect the health of customers and staff, all transactions will be processed by phone at 847-968-3340 or online. Leading up to the October 4 event, the Lake County Forest
Preserves will offer a variety of oak woodland-themed virtual programming. Topics include proper tree planting, oak restoration, and the importance of buckthorn removal. Family-oriented programs will be available as well. “Our environmental educators will demonstrate how to plant your trees and explain why oaks are so important to our area and more,” Buckardt said. Check the calendar for more information. Native plants naturally thrive in Lake County’s soil and weather, requiring less time, effort and expense to maintain. They also play a critical role in increasing biodiversity––the variety of species living in a particular habitat. These indigenous plants help local diversity
by providing food and homes to native birds, butterflies and other wildlife. Because of their variety, low maintenance, and environmental benefits, native plants have become increasingly popular among professional landscapers and gardeners in recent years. “As part of our 100-Year Vision and Strategic Plan, we want to engage local residents as conservation partners to enhance the landscape and blur our boundaries,” said Angelo Kyle, president of the Lake County Forest Preserves. “ “As in previous years, a portion of each sale supports our educational programming,” said Buckardt.

When she blew out her candles, she wished for one thing – for cancer to go away. For a little more than two years, Mackenzie has been battling a type of brain cancer known as Medulloblastoma. Up until about the time of her diagnosis on May 24, 2018, she showed no signs of illness. Results of her initial brain scan demanded doctors act fast, and she underwent two brain surgeries just days apart, followed by months of radiation and chemotherapy. After a six-month break from intense treatment, last fall, parents, Courtney and Pat, got the dismal news that their only child’s cancer had returned in multiple parts of her brain. She is now on hospice care at home, soaking up precious moments with her family. September is a special month for Mackenzie, not only because it’s her birthday month, but it’s also Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, colored by gold. CCAM is recognized by organizations across the country to increase awareness and to raise funds for research into its cause, prevention, diagnosis, treatment and cure. Throughout Mackenzie’s battle, the Clydes have been big supporters of Midwest Athletes Against Childhood Cancer. “We chose to celebrate this birthday and Mackenzie’s life by asking for donations to the MACC Fund to help fund research for pediatric cancer,” Courtney said. The goal is to raise $4,600 this month in honor of the 46 children diagnosed each day. With more than half of that goal met, they are well on their way to reaching the target. Mackenzie also asked for toys for the patients at Children’s Hospital or Wisconsin in lieu of birthday presents. With an
overwhelming response to her request, she and her mother delivered half of them on Sept. 14, and they also got a surprise of their own. “We were told there were five gifts currently in the toy closet, and to give perspective, when we used to go, there were a couple hundred,” Courtney posted on her Facebook page, thanking those who donated. “Mackenzie’s wonderful MACC team also continued her awesome birthday celebration week by surprising her with a decorated room, super sweet gifts, and some beautiful messages. We are so blessed to have them supporting us in this journey.” Raising awareness Part of raising awareness of childhood cancer is telling stories like Mackenzie’s. While the Clydes are fighting the fight, they have also been positive and vocal influences for the cause. “Most people do not realize that 46 children a day are diagnosed in the U.S. with cancer,” Courtney said. “There are 12 different types of childhood cancer, with over 100 different subtypes. Pediatric cancer is different from adult cancer, but because research is so underfunded, we have to use chemotherapies that are typically used on adults.” Children’s bodies are still developing as they are receiving toxic medication during treatment, Courtney said, therefore children who are survivors of childhood cancer go on to have many longterm side effects. Those side effects, can include, but are not limited to neuro-cognitive, heart and secondary cancers caused by the treatment of the first cancer. “I think a lot of kids really don’t understand how hard cancer is,” Mackenzie said. “It’s frustrating.” To help friends get a better picture of her illness, treatment and feelings, last year her classmate Linkin Eger wrote and published a book titled “My Friend Mackenzie,” part of the non-profit book series “My Friend Linkin.”

Above: Friends Naudia Greenwalt (from left), Daxton LaRue, Mackenzie Clyde and Linkin Eger fight for a cure through the My Friend Linkin organization which aims to teach and inspire others about childhood cancer through books written by kids. Top: Mom and daughter, Courtney and Mackenzie Clyde, are spreading childhood cancer awareness and joy through Mackenzie’s story about her battle with cancer. Mackenzie recently celebrated her 10th birthday with a wish for others.
As part of the project, Linkin took trips to the hospital with Mackenzie, interviewed her and her parents, and got an intimate look at her journey to share with others. The fifth-grader is no stranger to what Mackenzie is going through. He was also diagnosed with brain cancer and completed treatment in 2019. While he maintains he is doing good, Linkin still has a tumor that doctors are keeping a close eye on. “My scans have been good. The remaining tumor is just chillin’,” said the fifth grader. His mother Kelly said his tumor is wrapped around an artery so the fear of it doing something else “is very real.” “Through (the My Friend Linkin organization) we can talk about the ‘scanxiety’, the medications, the daily challenges we still face. We live one scan at a time,” she said. Working on Mackenzie’s story was relatable and sometimes sad, Linkin said. “…we both know what it is like to feel icky, be in a hospital a lot, and get poked by a big port needle,” he said. “I cried a few times but I still love the story of her dad being a Cubs fan and Mackenzie (waking from surgery) and saying, ‘Go Brewers’.” While Mackenzie’s book explains for others the complexity of her illness and treatment, she simply wants people to know: “I am tough, brave.”
Educating and inspiring “My Friend Mackenzie” is the second book in what has developed into the “My Friend Linkin” titles, which aim to educate and inspire others about childhood cancer. The premier book, “My Friend Linkin,” was written in 2017 by his classmate Naudia Greenwalt when she heard Linkin would begin chemotherapy. She wanted to learn more and help his other friends empathize, so she decided to write about his battle. Writing Linkin’s story, Naudia said, “felt inspiring.” “I learned about his struggles, and things that made him happy like his family,” the 11-year-old said. SUBMITTED PHOTO Hi-Liter For Linkin, Naudia’s project Mackenzie Clyde blows out her candles with mom Courtney in cheered him up. celebration of her 10th birthday. For her birthday, and in honor of “Having her come with me on Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, Clyde is asking for donation appointments was fun,” he said.
to the MACC Fund.
Linkin’s mom Kelly said Naudia’s kind gesture was healing for her as well. “I remember how much Linkin enjoyed working with Naudia. Having her come to the appointments, giggling when there was typically tears, playing a game when he usually was curled up watching TV… just having a friend. I want that. I don’t want any cancer kid to feel alone or isolated,” she said. The book also became a primary source for helping others who love Linkin understand what his journey entailed. “It was amazing to have family tell us they didn’t realize how much we went through,” she said of the book’s influence. “We have also been able to talk to other families that are just starting their journey navigate through some of the early things that helped us.” After Linkin’s book was published, Kelly said she didn’t imagine that a little more than a year later, his schoolmate Mackenzie would be diagnosed. Realizing that there are more stories to tell, Kelly and Naudia’s mom, Dolores, quickly teamed up to create a non-profit status for “My Friend Linkin” and to help their kids continue to spread joy and awareness. “We asked (the Clyde family) if they would like to (tell Mackenzie’s story) and they were all for it,” Kelly said. “I could see in Linkin that he wanted to be a friend to someone going through the same thing he did.” With additional books written for Jordan, Daxton and Isiah, “My Friend Linkin” now has five books
total. Each child who has had a book written for them, pays it forward, by writing about another child. Mackenzie had the honor of relaying Jordan’s story, who sadly lost her fight at 19 to Ewing’s Sarcoma on Aug. 29, 2019. “Losing friends is tough and it makes me cry,” Linkin said. He and the other Friends are also grieving the recent loss of 17-yearold Isiah, who had a Malignant Triton Tumor. “He wasn’t the first friend we lost and I know he won’t be the last,” Linkin said. “Cancer sucks!” From the heart Naudia, who has garnered national attention for her effort including being a part of an Emmynominated PBS special, and being named Washington Post’s top kids changing the world alongside Linkin, never imagined what began as good intentions, would have evolved into a much larger cause. “I just wanted to help Linkin and his family,” she said. “I wasn’t thinking that it would have gotten super big, but I am proud that people know about (the books) and we talk about all the struggles of cancer.” Dolores said Naudia and Linkin’s commitment to staying true to themselves is admirable. “These kids could care less about any recognition. While they’re entertaining in public, they really shine when they’re building and producing the books, and when they’re giving opinions about upcoming projects. Their purpose is so innocent and it comes from the heart – that’s what makes me the most proud,” she said.
Raise awareness. Raise funds. Provide hope.
In celebration of Mackenzie Clyde’s 10th birthday and Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, the Clydes are raising funds for Midwest Athletes Against Childhood Cancer. “We need more treatment options for kids,” said Mackenzie’s mom, Courtney, who explained that only four percent of the national cancer research budget goes toward childhood cancer research. The goal is to raise $4,600 in September in honor of the 46 children who are diagnosed with cancer every day. Burlington RV is matching up to $2,500 toward the cause.

Three arrested after vehicle pursuit
The McHenry County Sheriff’s Office announced the arrest of Norman Brown, 32, Destiny Hall, 19, and William Benson, 40, on various narcotics charges after a vehicle pursuit. At approximately 2:03 p.m., on September 17, 2020, the Sheriff’s Office was conducting a narcotics investigation in the Wonder Lake area. During the course of their investigation, Deputies initiated a traffic stop on a 2003 Chrysler MiniVan. The driver at that time, Hall pulled over. During the traffic stop, Hall was asked to step out of the William Benson vehicle. Brown, who was a passenger, climbed into the driver seat and fled with the van and another passenger, Benson. Deputies pursued the Chrysler west where it traveled around the rural west area of Woodstock. As the Chrysler headed back towards town, members of the Sheriff’s Office discontinued the pursuit. A perimeter of the area was established with Norman Brown the assistance of Woodstock Police Department and McHenry County Conservation Police. A short while later Deputies located the Chrysler, which had stopped on the south side of Woodstock near the Route 47/ Route 14 intersection. Deputies discovered that Brown had fled on foot while Benson remained in the vehicle. Destiny Hall Witnesses provided Deputies with detailed information on where Brown had fled. With this information Deputies located Brown, who was hiding in an abandoned mobile trailer. After a short discussion Brown surrendered and was taken into custody without incident. Woodstock Fire/Rescue was request to the scene after Brown advised Deputies that he had an unrelated health issue. Brown was cleared on scene and released back into the Sheriff’s Office custody. Brown, Hill, and Benson were all arrested and transported to the Sheriff’s Office. No one was injured during this incident. After the pursuit was terminated Brown drove the Chrysler into a parked car causing property damage. Woodstock Police Department completed an accident report for that incident. As a result of this investigation the following narcotics were recovered: 45.5 grams of cannabis, 7 Hydrocodone pills, and 30 Dextroamphetame pills. The three were due in court with bond still remainaing to be set at the time of this press release. The charges are merely allegations and all defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

Sheriff’s office investigating two vehicle fatal accident
An 83-year-old Garden Prairie man has died and a 75-year-old Garden Prairie man sustained serious injuries as a result of a two vehicle crash that occurred on River Road at Thorne Road in Marengo. On September 17, 2020 at 2:18 p.m., the McHenry County Sheriff’s Office and Marengo Township Fire/Rescue District responded to a two-vehicle crash involving a 2007 Hummer H3 and a 2000 Dodge. On scene investigation indicated the Dodge, driven by the 75-year-old Garden Prairie man, was traveling eastbound on River Road approaching Thorne Road. The Hummer was northbound on Thorne Road, turning westbound onto River Road and had a stop sign. For unknown reasons the driver of the Hummer, a 22-year-old Capron man, failed to yield to the Dodge and pulled out in front it causing a collision between the two vehicles. After the collision, the Dodge overturned into the north ditch. The passenger of the Dodge, the 83-year-old Garden Prairie man, was pronounced deceased on scene. The driver of the Dodge was flown by Lifenet helicopter to Javon Bea Hospital in Rockford. The driver of the Hummer did not sustain any injuries. The investigation continues by the McHenry County Sheriff’s Office Major Crash Investigation Unit and the McHenry County Coroner’s Office.
Lake County Corrections Officers Elvis Fejzic and Mathew Outinen are being praised for saving the life of an inmate who attempted to take his own life. On September 13, 2020, at approximately 3:00 p.m., Corrections Officers Fejzic and Outinen were conducting rounds in the housing-pod they are assigned. They came across an inmate cell housing
a 20-year-old male and observed the inmate had fabric tied around his neck. Corrections Officers Fejzic and Outinen quickly opened the inmate’s door, cut the fabric off the inmate’s neck, and administered first-aid. Their quick life-saving efforts prevented the inmate from being able to take his life. The inmate was transported to Vista East Medical
Center in Waukegan by paramedics, where he has since recovered. Further investigation revealed the inmate utilized a torn shirt to attempt to take his life. Sheriff John Idleburg praised the quick actions of Corrections Officers Fejzic and Outinen, saying “Being a correctional officer is an incredibly challenging job,
but our staff has the very best intentions for our community. Our correctional officers are trained to never hesitate in providing first-aid and calling for an ambulance for any inmate who is in physical distress. We strive to ensure all inmates receive the skills needed to be successful when released and also the emotional support they need while in custody.”
The Lake County Sheriff’s Office is investigating several deceptive practice/impersonating a peace officer cases, where an offender is calling Lake County residents pretending to be a sergeant with the Lake County Sheriff’s Office. The offender identifies him-
self as ‘Sergeant Bennett’ and informs the caller they have an active warrant for their arrest. The scammer provides the victim with the victim’s name and address, making the victim feel that the caller is a police officer. The scammer orders the victim to purchase gift cards and provide the gift card numbers/pins to the scammer in order to satisfy the warrant.
The scammer has also asked victims for their social security numbers, banking information, and other sensitive information. The Lake County Sheriff’s Office does employ a Sergeant Michael Bennett, which leads callers to believe the scammer is legitimate. The Lake County Sheriff’s Office reminds the community that the government will never
call and order you to pay money in the form of gift cards. If you receive an unsolicited call from anyone requesting money, you should be suspicious. If a person claims to be a government agency, call that government agency first to determine the validity of the call, before discussing anything. If you have been the victim of a scam, contact your local law-enforcement.
The Lake County Sheriff’s Dept. reported the following arrests in Lake County. Suspects are considered innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. Aug. 13 Emilio L. Morales, 18, Waukegan, was cited for street racing; Colin I. Gist, 20, Lake Vila, was cited for a warrant arrest: driving while license revoked, fleeing & eluding; Cameron M.
