Metra rep search begins

By KEVIN P. CRAVER kcraver@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – The McHenry County Board started the process by which it will appoint a successor to Jack Schaffer as the county’s representative on the Metra board.

It put out the call March 26 for applicants interested in representing the county on the Metra board, which handles suburban rail, and the Pace board in charge of Chicago-area bus service. The four-year terms for both expire June 30.

County Board Chairwoman Tina Hill, R-Woodstock, said the processes will be open and transparent, similar to the process by which members appointed the county’s new representative to the Regional Transportation Authority Board last year. Candidates will be interviewed in open session by a panel which will make a recommendation for a full County Board vote.

Given the publicity Metra has received in recent years – most of it lousy – Hill anticipates receiving a decent number of resumes.

Schaffer, a former state senator, said more than a year ago that he does not intend to seek a third term. Crystal Lake Mayor Aaron Shepley represents the county on the Pace Board, but could not be reached for comment as to whether he will seek reappointment.

Metra has been rocked by several high-profile corruption scandals during the past four years, and questions have arisen regarding ethics at the CTA and RTA. The RTA Board has financial oversight of the three smaller Chicago-area mass transit boards.

Former Metra CEO Phil Pagano killed himself in 2010 near his rural Crystal Lake home by stepping in front of a Metra train hours before his board

The McHenry County Board is seeking applicants for people interested in representing the county on the Metra Board for a four-year term to expire June 30, 2017.

Application forms are available online at www.co.mchenry.il.us, or at the County Board office, 667 Ware Road, Woodstock.

The deadline to receive applications is 2 p.m. May 1.

Applications also are being sought for appointment to the Pace Board, but a Pace Board member under state law must be a current or former mayor or village president.

was set to fire him for collecting $475,000 in unauthorized vacation payouts and other fiscal irregularities. Pagano, who it turns out was supporting two other households besides his own, borrowed so much against his executive compensation package that he died owing Metra at least $127,000.

The Metra board in 2011 hired Alex Clifford as CEO in an effort to clean up the agency.

But the Metra board in June 2013 approved a generous exit package for Clifford, with eight months remaining on his first contract. When pressed by angry state lawmakers, Clifford alleged he was forced out because he would not turn a blind eye to patronage requests.

While Schaffer was accused with the rest of the board of lax oversight in the wake of the Pagano scandal, he found redemption of sorts in reacting to the Clifford scandal. He was the only Metra Board member to vote against the severance package – he voted “hell, no” in the roll call – and publicly pressed the now-ousted board president for full disclosure of the related expenses, Metra has taken criticism

for poor performance during the recent cold and snowy winter, which the agency blames on antiquated equipment and funding shortfalls.

The goings-on at Metra, the RTA and CTA have inspired laws aimed at reducing corruption and improving accountability, many of them filed or sponsored by McHenry County lawmakers. The latest, House Bill 3659, seeks to close a loophole that allowed CTA appointees to hold other government offices or jobs and double-dip. The bill, filed by state Rep. Jack Franks, D-Marengo, is now in the Senate after clearing the House last week on a 110-0 vote.

Franks, who has repeatedly taken aim at Metra, the RTA and the County Board since the Pagano scandal, said he is cautiously optimistic the County Board will fill the Metra seat with a qualified individual through an ethical process.

The County Board in December appointed Blake Hobson of Lakewood to represent the county on the RTA Board, replacing longtime former McHenry County Republican Party Chairman Al Jourdan.

“They did a pretty good job [with the RTA], but I hope this is as apolitical as possible,” Franks said.

The law forbidding members of the Metra and RTA boards from holding other government employment does not apply to Pace – with one exception. Pace Board members must be a current mayor or village president in the area they represent or a former mayor or village president residing in the area.

The County Board’s appointees to Metra and Pace will not get pension or health insurance benefits, which were stripped by another Franks bill signed into law.

By STEPHEN Di BENEDETTO sdibenedetto@shawmedia.com MARENGO – Prospect Street will be reduced to a one-way road until early fall after construction began this week on a $2.88 million project that adds traffic signals and sidewalks along the local Marengo street.

Assistant City Administrator Josh Blakemore said crews from Berger Excavating Contractors in Wauconda started the project March 24 without any issues.

State and local officials delayed construction last fall because of an issue with utility lines that has since been resolved.

“I’m glad to get this project started,” Blakemore said.

“Once the project is complete, it will be a lot safer for pedestrian traffic to and from the schools.”

The work, scheduled for an early fall completion, will widen Prospect Street and add turn lanes near Routes 20 and 176. A traffic signal also will be added at Prospect Street and Route 20, along with new sidewalks to accommodate students walking from nearby Marengo middle and high schools.

City staffers met with school officials recently to review the temporary traffic changes and altered bus routes during the construction. Prospect Street will be reduced to northbound-only traffic, while southbound traffic will be detoured, Blakemore said.

Marengo officials have been planning this project for more than a year. They took out nearly $1.5 million in bonds to cover the city’s portion of the project and secured $1.5 million in federal money.

The Illinois Department of Transportation is overseeing the project since it includes work along two state highways.

Reminder: Open burning allowed with restrictions SHAW MEDIA

“Serving our communities to make them better places to live.”

What it means

Construction work begins on Marengo Street

With spring open burning season almost here, the McHenry County Department of Health wants to remind residents of restrictions.

The county public health

ordinance permits residents in unincorporated areas to burn landscape waste on weekends in April, May, October and November. The burn area must be at least 100 feet from a house, business, school or church, and at least 50 feet from a barn,

shed, detached garage or other accessory structure.

Only landscape waste generated on site – grass, leaves, limbs and shrubbery cuttings – can be burned.

Most municipalities have ordinances restricting or ban-

ning the burning of yard waste.

In areas without a ban or more restrictive ordinance, the county’s ordinance takes effect.

Visit www.mcdh.info, or call 815-334-4585, for questions and for a list of municipalities that curtail or forbid open burning.

The record speaks for itself.

In the past four seasons, Huntley’s boys basketball team was 82-21 in games in which Amanze Egekeze played. That’s a winning percentage of .796.

Egekeze started as a spindly 6-foot-5 shot-blocking, role-playing freshman and blossomed into a dominant NCAA Division I recruit who could take over games on both ends.

No matter what part Egekeze played, however, there usually was winning involved.

“Winning is not just something you do,” Egekeze said, “it’s really a skill. From a young age, for me winning was important. I truly think it’s a skill.”

If that is the case, Egekeze and Huntley mastered that skill just like they had shooting, ballhandling, defending and rebounding. The Red Raiders finished 21-8 this season, won their fourth consecutive Fox Valley Conference Valley Division championship and third Class 4A regional title in four years.

Egekeze, the 6-8 forward

headed to Belmont, was the driving force, averaging 17.8 points, 7.7 rebounds and 2.9 blocked shots a game. He is the Amanze first FVC boys Egekeze] player to play on four straight conference or division champions and is the 2014 Northwest Herald Boys Basketball Player of the Year.

The honor is voted on by the sports staff with input from area coaches. Joining Egekeze on the All-Area first team are Cary-Grove’s Jason Gregoire, Jacobs’ Chrishawn Orange, Marian Central’s Adam Pischke and Crystal Lake South’s Austin Rogers.

Named to the second team were Prairie Ridge’s Michael Bradshaw, Hampshire’s Ryan Cork, Huntley’s Zach Gorney, Richmond-Burton’s Sam Kaufman and Marengo’s Zach Knobloch.

Egekeze shot 49.4 percent from the field, 75.3 percent from the free-throw line and finished his career with 1,114 points. He was a difficult

matchup because he could handle the ball well, hit outside shots and also take command inside.

Huntley coach Marty Manning considers Egekeze a coach’s dream in every way.

“He never took anything for granted in practice, he worked hard every day on his game,” Manning said. “That was really important for our guys to see how committed he was, to know you have to practice hard every day to accomplish the goals we wanted to.

“He is the perfect role model for a basketball program. You want kids to excel athletically and academically, and really commit themselves to the game and the team. He really did that.

He’ll be sorely missed for a lot of reasons, not just basketball.”

Egekeze missed the first 13 games of his junior season after undergoing surgery on his right knee to relieve patellar tendinitis. He returned for the second half to help lead the Raiders to their third division title in a row. This season, he took his game to another level, although he remained quite unselfish with his play, aver-

aging 14 shots a game.

“A lot of players with my ability would say they should be getting more shots, but in the bigger scheme of things, I feel it would be sending the wrong message to my team and often would be detrimental to what we were trying to do,” Egekeze said. “I could live with us losing, but I couldn’t live with knowing I could have been more aggressive. At the end of games, I had to say to myself, ‘At least I took those shots and was aggressive.’ I think I did a good job of being assertive and also deferring and playing within the system.”

Forward Riley Wicks thoroughly enjoyed the experience of playing with Egekeze.

“He’s one of the fiercest competitors on our team and he’s probably one of the best players to come out of the Fox Valley Conference in a long time,” Wicks said. “He led mostly by example. He’s definitely one of the hardest workers on our team.”

Wicks and the other Huntley players look forward to seeing Belmont, a member of the Ohio Valley Conference, on

TV and possibly in the NCAA tournament.

Manning thinks Egekeze has just scratched the surface of what he can do.

“The things that he needs right now are things that high school programs can’t provide,” Manning said. “Specific one-on-one workouts to get him stronger, one-on-one skill developments he’ll get and playing against other Division I players every day.”

Egekeze will get that starting in June. He will head to Belmont, in Nashville, a week after graduation and enroll in summer classes. There, he will work out with his teammates and prepare for his freshman year.

He will take with him lessons from Manning and past Huntley players such as Dylan Neukirch, Tyler Brunschon, Justin Frederick, Troy Miller and Bryce Only, along with his teammates this season, all who played roles in all that winning.

“I’m proud of the strides we’ve made with the guys I grew up playing with,” Egekeze said. “I was just glad to be a part of history at our school.

It’s been a great experience.”

District 158 moves to ban e-cigarettes Proposal calls for students caught with product to face discipline

By STEPHEN Di BENEDETTO sdibenedetto@shawmedia.com HUNTLEY – District 158 students caught with an electronic cigarette at school could soon face suspension or expulsion, under a proposed district ban of the popular alternative nicotine product.

Officials are seeing increased incidents of students using and possessing e-cigarettes at Huntley High School and in some cases, the district’s middle schools and buses, said board President Don Drzal.

A proposed change to the district’s student discipline policy would allow officials for the first time to punish students for using, possessing, purchasing and selling alternative nicotine products. Board members gave the change initial approval at a recent meeting.

“E-cigarettes keep taking the place of nicotine. Students smoking and possessing tobacco is already banned as well,” Drzal said. “It’s not a part of the education process.”

The change would group students who have e-cigarettes and other alternative nico-

tine products with the same students caught with alcohol, marijuana and other drugs on school grounds.

Administrators determine punishments for those students individually, but possible reprimands include a 10-day school suspension, an in-school suspension and expulsion.

The policy likely will be updated within the coming month to include alternative nicotine products, after members have already voiced strong support for the change, Drzal said.

The board is scheduled to take a final vote on the policy change during its regular meeting April 17.

District officials also were motivated to ban e-cigarettes in the hallways, on campus and at school-sponsored activities after they saw Huntley Village Board members pass an ordinance earlier this year that penalized kids for possessing e-cigarettes, Drzal said.

The board president said he spoke with village Trustee John Piwko, who spearheaded the ordinance, about strengthening the district’s policies.

“From an intergovernmental perspective, the timing was in sync,” Drzal said.

District 158 is the latest in the area to discourage kids from using e-cigarettes.

Unlike traditional cigarettes, e-cigarettes emit vapor instead of smoke and don’t contain tar and other harmful byproducts. The vapor can contain nicotine, synthetic nicotine or no nicotine, and is usually mixed with artificial or natural fruit flavoring.

Officials in Woodstock and McHenry this year passed similar ordinances to Huntley’s.

The state on Jan. 1 also banned the sale of alternative nicotine products to minors.

Kyle Grillot - kgrillot@shawmedia.com

Meghan O’Brien of Huntley was diagnosed with stage four lung cancer in September 2012. Since then, alongside treatment, she has been volunteering and working to raise awareness of the stigmas attached to lung cancer patients. O’Brien, who has never smoked, has a genetic mutation called anaplastic lymphoma kinase and now takes over 20 pills a day as part of her treatment. “I just take it one day at a time,” she said.

On the record with ... Meghan O’Brien STEPHEN Di BENEDETTO sdibenedetto@shawmedia.com HUNTLEY – When Meghan O’Brien tells people she has lung cancer, the first question asked is always, “Did you smoke?”

She’s grown tired of answering it since doctors diagnosed the 31-year-old Huntley resident with stage four lung cancer nearly two years ago. O’Brien has learned to clarify she has nonsmoking lung cancer when recounting her story to people.

But lately, O’Brien has taken it upon herself to raise awareness about the stigmas associated with the disease and reflected in that question asked of her. She points to the statistics first.

The American Lung Association found 60 percent of new patients diagnosed with the disease have either never smoked or smoked decades ago.

Lung cancer, meanwhile, is the leading killer of all cancers in the United States, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The five-

year survival rate is slightly more than 16 percent.

Despite its deadly effects, lung cancer research lags behind other cancers. The National Cancer Institute estimates that $17,835 is spent per breast cancer death versus the $1,378 spent for lung cancer.

After not smoking her entire life, O’Brien was diagnosed with the disease months after securing her dream job teaching health and physical education at a school in Hyde Park.

Doctors found the cancer had spread to her spinal cord and discovered a genetic mutation, called ALK, created the cancer-causing cells.

In the months that have followed, O’Brien has worked with a variety of cancer foundations in an effort to fight the misconceptions about lung cancer patients.

In February, she climbed 45 flights of stairs to raise research funding during the American Lung Association in Greater Chicago’s Fight for Air Climb event in Oak Brook.

O’Brien spoke with

reporter Stephen Di Benedetto about her battle with lung cancer and the stigmas surrounding it.

Di Benedetto: Do people automatically assume that you smoked? What kind of reactions do you get when you tell people you have lung cancer?

O’Brien: They always assume that. The first question is ‘did you smoke?’ I’ve learned now to say I have stage 4, nonsmoking lung cancer. It’s frustrating. ...

There is a lot of stigma that goes with lung cancer. It’s sad because if people took the time to read up about it, they could understand that it could happen to them.

Di Benedetto: Do you think lung cancer patients generally get a bad rap?

O’Brien: That’s why it’s such a hard time getting people to give money to lung cancer research because there is this mentality that, “You did it to yourself, so why should we help you?”

Di Benedetto: How has the

cancer affected your life after the diagnosis?

O’Brien: Right now, I can’t work. Until they can make it more like a chronic disease, I won’t be able to work ... I was so ecstatic when I got that [teaching] job. I moved down into the city, and I was just devastated. Professionally, it took away my dreams of helping others and teaching and being able to coach. I loved working with kids because you can have such a big impact on a kid’s life ...

That’s the hardest part for me – not working.

Di Benedetto: With the Fight for Air Climb, why were you motivated to participate?

O’Brien: This past year, I started to get stronger and thought I could at least attempt to [climb] one of the towers. Each tower was 585 stairs and 45 flights ... It was just a way to raise awareness and get people to see that just because I have lung cancer, it doesn’t mean I’m dead already. It was hard. I had to train for a while, but I wanted to get people’s attention.

State ranks No. 1 in LEED-certified space

By EMILY K. COLEMAN ecoleman@shawmedia.com The Kohl’s store in Woodstock was built using recycled and regionally sourced materials. It has water-efficient landscaping and plumbing.

The front desk in the lobby of Glacial Park’s Lost Valley Visitor Center was created with reclaimed lumber from barns on McHenry County Conservation District property. Lots of windows allow the building to take advantage of natural daylight, and the lights in the main bathrooms and offices are activated by motion sensors.

The buildings are among the 14 LEED-certified buildings in McHenry County.

The green building certification – the acronym stands for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design – is awarded to residential, commercial and public buildings, both new and existing, that use recycled materials, are located on sustainable sites and are energy and water efficient.

Illinois tops the list when it comes to the amount of square footage of LEED-certified space, according to the U.S. Green Building Council. The 171 projects that received LEED certification last year represent 29.4 million square feet, or 2.3 square feet per resident.

The next closest state was Maryland, with 119 projects representing 12.7 million square feet, or 2.20 square feet per resident, according to the council’s rankings.

“People think the buildings would look unusual,” said Brian Imus, the executive director of the council’s Illinois chapter. “I think people think they’d recognize a green building, that it’s designed to look different. In fact, lots of buildings are green, and the only way you might notice it’s a LEED building is because there’s a plaque.”

Imus credits Illinois’ robust sustainable building industry and policy leaders dedicated

• GREEN Continued from page 4 to building green for its No. 1 ranking.

“What’s fascinating is Illinois doesn’t take the lead on many things, but this is one place where for nearly two decades, there have been industry leaders who have been making green building a priority,” Imus said.

He pointed to several corporations who honed in on building green and have their headquarters in Illinois, including Grainger Industrial Supply, McDonald’s and United Airlines.

Other corporations, including Kohl’s and Starbucks, also have made a commitment to building green stores nationwide.

Two of Kohl’s stores in McHenry County are LEED certified, and of the 66 stores statewide, 19 are LEED-certified, 59 have the Environmental Protection Agency-sponsored Energy Star certification and six have charging stations for electric vehicles, spokeswoman Julia Fennelly said in an email.

“Kohl’s uses the [U.S. Green Building Council]’s LEED rating system to guide best practices in the design,

A survey finds the state leads the nation in the amount of green building space it has. construction and operations of our stores and corporate facilities,” she said. “LEED-certified buildings conserve natural resources, reduce operating costs and minimize strain on local infrastructure.”

The savings are one of the reasons the practices are catching on, Imus said. Employees also like working in sustainable buildings and for sustainable companies.

For example, the Lost Valley Visitor Center saves about $11,050 a year through its geothermal heating and air conditioning unit, conservation district spokeswoman Wendy Kummerer said. That doesn’t include electricity and water savings.

More needs to be done in sharing best practices among interested businesses though, Imus said.

The Lost Valley Visitor

Center is trying to share information about energy efficiency. Throughout the building, there are markers that share information about green technology and what visitors can implement on a smaller scale in their homes and businesses.

“McHenry County Conservation District continues to try to position itself as a leader in green living, while also conveying the message to res-

idents and visitors that there is a shared responsibility for the health of the natural community within and beyond conservation district boundaries,” Kummerer said.

“Every bit of initiative to implement green technologies wherever possible in businesses or in our own homes will help in the bigger picture of reducing the carbon footprint and ensuring a more sustainable future.”
