Visit the past at the Dunn Museum

The Bess Bower Dunn Museum in Libertyville reopened to the public earlier this year with limited hours, online timed ticketing to maintain visitation at a reduced capacity, and other safety protocols in place to comply with COVID-19 concerns.

“We are following CDC guidelines and those outlined in Phase 4 of the Restore Illinois plan to ensure the safety and health of our visitors and employees, and the entire community.

Modifications have been made throughout the galleries and gift shop to minimize touch points and support social distancing,” said Director of Education Nan Buckardt.

“We look forward to welcoming visitors back again to the Dunn Museum,” said Angelo Kyle, president of the Lake County Forest Preserves. “Our priority remains to create a safe environment and provide peace of mind for all our visitors and staff while connecting them with Lake County history and culture.”

Modified hours are 10 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays, with visitation time slots available from 10 to 11:30 a.m., noon to 1:30 p.m., and 2 to 3:30 p.m. The galleries and gift shop will be closed between these time slots for cleaning and disinfecting.

To assure safety for visitors and employees, and to maintain the 25% maximum capacity set by the

state, timed entry tickets will be sold in advance online.

Buckardt said 35 people are allowed to visit per time slot through a combination of 25 timed entry tickets available for purchase online and 10 tickets available for purchase at the door. Only credit card payments are accepted. Each gallery has signs posted and cameras in place so employees can monitor and enforce capacity limits as necessary.

Study shows working mothers hard hit by pandemic-related child care burdens

Nearly half of state’s working moms lost jobs, work fewer hours amid pandemic

By Grace Barbic CAPITOL NEWS ILLINOIS

New research shows pandemic-related child care burdens have magnified economic inequalities for women in the workforce in Illinois.

That research was included in The Child Care Crisis in Illinois: A Survey of Working Mothers During the COVID-19 Pandemic, conducted by the Project for Middle Class Renewal at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and the Illinois Economic Policy Institute nonprofit research organization.

A data review in that report showed the workforce participation rate among women hit its lowest level in more than three decades in January 2021, at 57 percent nationally.

One of the most significant findings, according to the researchers, was that 40 percent of working moms who were employed at the beginning of the pandemic were out of work or saw reduced hours as a result of the pandemic.

From August to October 2020, researchers surveyed about 1,300 working mothers who were employed as of March 2020. The respondents

were limited to working women who provided residence for at least one child under the age of 13 and earned $150,000 a year or less.

This sample only provides a snippet of the state’s child care crisis, according to researchers, considering 1.6 million Illinois workers have at least one child age 13 or younger—which is the child care-aged population. As well, just less than 500,000 children participate in day care or state-recognized family homes, the report shows.

The closure of schools and child care centers throughout the pandemic played a major role in decreased job performance, reduced work hours and income loss for working mothers, according to survey respondents.

As a single, working mother herself, UIUC senior instructor and study co-author Alison Dickson said the study was a reflection of her lived experiences.

“We knew going into this, that things were going to be bad and that the women we surveyed would be experiencing significant levels of hardship, but it’s much worse,

I think, than many of us anticipated,” Dickson said.

Dickson has one son and works from home, but she said many of her friends are also single, working moms, and were left with no available child care options amid closures.

“I inevitably had four kids at my house for a number of months last year,” Dickson said. “While relatively speaking my situation was not nearly as bad as so many of the women’s stories we captured in the survey, I certainly feel like across the income spectrum, across occupations, any mom who had to deal with these child care closures was still trying to keep their jobs instead of taking leave.”

On average, the annual cost of child care for infants is about $13,800 and about $10,400 for a four-year-old.

“Illinois’ child care costs are the 10th-highest in the nation and rival annual tuition costs at public colleges and universities in the state,” said Frank Manzo, ILEPI policy director and co-author of the study.

Working mothers with high child care costs were 10 percent less likely to remain

employed and 24 percent more likely to report that they suffered a loss of income, as compared to other working mothers, the survey shows.

The survey found that 55 percent of employed mothers worked fewer hours during the pandemic and 54 percent earned less income. The burdens hit women of color especially hard, Manzo said in reference to survey findings.

“Women compensated for these income losses by...delaying rent and mortgage payments, spending less on food, pulling from their savings accounts and delaying medical treatments,” Manzo added.

“Just a lot of different ways to make up the loss of income but ways that have negative effects on nutrition, on health and retirement, things like that have long-term effects.”

Prior to the pandemic, according to the study, there was a 3 percent gender employment gap between working-age women without children (72 percent employed) and working-age men without children (75 percent employed) in Illinois. For working-age parents, however, that gap grew to 21 percent, with

93 percent of fathers being employed compared to 72 percent of mothers.

Manzo said the first step to combating these issues faced by working mothers is making child care affordable through policy change.

He recommends the staterun Child Care Assistance Program could be doubled to cover more families at relatively affordable costs. He also suggests that the state could institute its own refundable child care tax credit, similar to one that is currently being considered at the federal level.

“That would result in over $1,000 in annual tax relief for more than 700,000 working families every year, as well as boost employment by 29,000 jobs,” Manzo said. “So just as one potential policy option, targeted aid to low-income families and universal child care tax credits, would expand access to quality, affordable childcare.”

Access to paid family leave is also important, he said. In some instances access to paid family and medical leave have kept working mothers employed, Manzo said. Policies

similar to this already exist in other states.

In the current legislative session, House Bill 74, sponsored by Rep. Mary Flowers, D-Chicago, which would require private employers to provide six weeks of paid leave to an employee for various family and medical reasons, missed a deadline to be voted out of the House and stalled in a committee.

At the federal level, President Joe Biden’s proposed American Families Plan could provide paid leave and reduce child care costs for working families. If passed as proposed, the plan would provide 12 weeks of paid leave for workers who meet certain income requirements.

“But one of the most important provisions of this proposal is to extend the child tax credit that pays $300 per month for children under six years old, and a smaller amount for other children every month,” Manzo said. “The amount that is credited to each family amounts to $7 billion in extra income that enables working mothers and working families to afford the cost of child care.”

AAA bond rating awarded to LCFP, taxpayers save $11 million

Low cost rabies and microchip clinic for cats available May 18

Service, one of the top credit rating agencies in the world. The agency is nationally recognized by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission for issuing credit ratings on the debt of public and private companies, and on governments. The AAA rating, the highest possible, indicates that an entity has an extremely strong capability to meet its debt obligations.

Of the 250 rated recreation districts nationwide, the Lake County Forest Preserves is one of only a handful rated AAA. In determining the top rating, the agency looked favorably at the Forest Preserves long-term financial planning as a relevant management policy. “It is thanks to the conservative approach of the Board of Commissioners that

The McHenry County Animal Control and Adoption Center is hosting a low-cost rabies vaccine and microchip clinic on Tuesday, May 18 from 1-3 p.m. This drive-thru event will be held at 100 N. Virginia Street, Crystal Lake, and has been reserved for companion cats. Appointments must be scheduled in advance.

This event is cash only and limited to McHenry County residents.

All cats attending the clinic must be socialized and arrive in a carrier.

Rabies vaccine for 1 year is $15 and $30 for 3 years. Registration fees will also apply but vary.

our financial position has been and continues to be strong,” said Stephen Neaman, director of finance for the Lake County Forest Preserves. The Lake County Forest Preserves received its first AAA rating from Moody’s in 2003, and has continuously maintained it ever since.

The importance of the AAA rating was highlighted on April 7, when the Forest Preserves sold a $58.8 million series of bonds to refinance $64.8 million of its outstanding bond issues. The sale resulted in about $11.2 million in total savings in tax levies through 2034. Interest rates averaged just below 1.4%.

The savings are worth about $10.1 million in today’s dollars. “This excellent rate is due to the AAA rating,” Neaman said.

Prior to this bond issue, over the past seven years, the Forest Preserves sold a series of bonds resulting in savings of about $15.4 million in savings through 2028. “Over the past seven years, refinancing these bonds has saved taxpayers about $25 million with the inclusion of this issue,” Neaman said.

“County residents will see these savings reflected on their property tax bills since debt repayment is not part of the operating tax levy of the Forest Preserves,” said Angelo Kyle, president of the Lake County Forest Preserves. “We will continue to plan for fiscally responsible decisions in an effort to determine the best course of action moving for-

ward. The ultimate goal is to maintain the fiscal and environmental health of the Lake County Forest Preserves,” he said.

“We are one of the nation’s top conservation agencies and the second-largest Forest Preserve District in Illinois,” said Executive Director Alex Ty Kovach.

“Careful stewardship of every dollar is a key factor that helps us keep this position. We maintain sound reserves, long-term replacement funds, moderate debt, and a AAA bond rating.

Lake County taxpayers and residents deserve both environmental and fiscal responsibility from their Lake County Forest Preserves.”

MCHD opens vaccination sites to all Illinois residents

As of April 26, COVID-19 vaccine appointments at all McHenry County Department of Health (MCDH) clinics opened to all eligible Illinois residents.

MCDH operates vaccination clinics in the cities of Crystal Lake, Harvard and McHenry. COVID-19 vaccinations at all MCDH-run clinics are free. Opening clinics to all Illinois residents provides more options for those looking to get vaccinated including vulnerable populations that have been more impacted by the virus.

In addition to opening clinics to all Illinois residents, anyone needing their second dose—no matter where they received their first dose—will be able to schedule their second dose appointment with MCDH. “We are pleased to be expanding our clinics to all Illi-

nois residents who want to get a COVID-19 vaccine,” said MCDH Public Health Administration Melissa Adamson. “What happens in other counties impacts us, so the more residents we can support getting vaccinated the more protected our community will be.”

Anyone who is 16 or older is eligible to receive the Pfizer vaccine. Those under the age of 18 must have a parent or guardian accompany them through the clinic. Parents must bring photo identification and guardians must bring documentation verifying custody. Additionally, those under the age of 18 must bring documentation showing proof of age, such as a birth certificate, State ID, or driver’s license.

Chenel Vanden Berk, a SANE (Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner) coordinator with the Advocate Condell Medical Center, was praised for her time and efforts at the center, including helping with the new addition of a medical office/room inside the center that is equipped for sexual assault exams.

“She is passionate about making us better,” LCCAC Executive Director Carrie Flanigan said.

“The means so much to me,” Vanden Berk said as she received the award.

“I’m always here at the Children’s Advocacy Center and I feel like a part of it.”

Detectives Jose “Bobby” Barrera and Paul Henken with the Round Lake Beach Police Department were honored for their determination in helping fight child abuse.

“Both Bobby and Paul are beyond dedicated. They are the ones that get on follow-up (of cases) because it has to be done,” Assistant State’s Attorney Lauren Walker said in presenting the officers with their awards.

Taking this year’s Incredible Kids Award was the entire Gomez family, including parents Marcos and Stacey Gomez and their children Sophia, Grace, Max and Millie, ranging from

ages 12 to 3.

The family began by donating items to the center, but their efforts “snowballed,” as they decorated the kid-friendly welcome area and assisted with special events such as the community-wide Blue Kids child abuse prevention campaign.

Illinois Department of Children and Family Services Child Protection Investigator Tania Miller earned the MDT Partner Award for being “an integral and crucial part” of the Advocacy Center team.

Jonathan Joy, with Lake County’s Facilities and Construction Services, received the Community Support Award. He is credited with being a lead player in the transformation of the center from a building with a leaky roof to the clean, modern and comforting facility it is today.

“This is one of the most compassionate and giving groups I have ever met,” Joy said.

In welcoming a Zoom audience to the awards presentation event, State’s Attorney Eric Rinehart said that “you get that team feeling approach” at the Advocacy Center.

“This ceremony shows the different parts of our community coming together to fight child abuse,” he said of the center.

Illinois House votes to endorse ‘abolition amendment,’ D.C. statehood Votes cap day of symbolic and honorary resolution

By Peter Hancock CAPITOL NEWS ILLINOIS

The Illinois House voted May 5 to endorse a proposed U.S. constitutional amendment that would finally eliminate what some see as the last vestige of slavery in the United States—forced labor by people convicted of crimes and sentenced to prison.

House Joint Resolution 7, by Rep. Mary Flowers, D-Chicago, calls for passage of the proposed “abolition amendment,” which seeks to eliminate what’s known as the “punishment clause” of the 13th Amendment, which abolished slavery after the Civil War. The 13th amendment reads in part, “Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.”

Those words, “except as a punishment for a crime,” have been used in the years since the Civil War to require prisoners, a disproportionate number of whom are people of color, to perform manual labor, typically for little or no compensation.

“Because you have to understand that since the beginning, African Americans have provided free labor to this country, and even incarcerated, they are providing free labor,” Flowers said during debate on the resolution. “But you forget that these men who are providing free labor while they’re incarcerated, they have families that need their support.

And so if they’re working, they should be paid.”

In December, congressional Democrats introduced a joint resolution that would add another amendment to the Constitution, effectively eliminating the punishment

clause. It would read: “Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude may be imposed as a punishment for a crime.”

U.S. Sen. Jeff Merkley, D-Ore., chief sponsor of the federal proposal, issued a statement saying the 13th Amendment continues to operate as a means of profiting from involuntary labor.

“To this day, many states and the federal government mandate that all able-bodied incarcerated people work,” the statement read. “Incarcerated people are not protected by workplace safety laws that help keep other Americans safe on the job.

Even today, 155 years after slavery was supposedly abolished in the United States, private prison corporations profit from forced labor, as do companies that sell their goods—which are made by forced labor from un- or under-compensated people—to unsuspecting

consumers.”

State Rep. Tim Butler, R-Springfield, noted during the debate that many state constitutions contain similar language but that some, most recently Utah and Nebraska, have passed state-level amendments removing those provisions.

“So I think that gives a sense to our colleagues about the importance of this across the country,” he said.

“If states are looking at their own constitutions with the same language and taking action that’s happening potentially on the federal level, it’s probably a good thing to do.”

Flowers’ resolution passed the House on a voice vote. It will next be sent to the Senate for consideration.

D.C. statehood Also May 5, the House passed House Joint Resolution 16 urging Congress to pass legislation making

It is now sitting in the evenly-divided U.S. Senate where its chances of passage are considered negligible, primarily because it would allocate two U.S. Senate seats and one House seat to the heavily Democratic-leaning new state, tipping the balance of power in Congress that much toward the Democrats.

Guzzardi’s resolution passed the Illinois House on a similar party-line vote, 7142. It now moves to the state Senate.

Both resolutions are symbolic in nature, merely expressing to federal officials the sentiment of the Illinois General Assembly.

Those votes came on a day when the state House focused almost entirely on symbolic and honorary resolutions, including several that rename stretches of state highways in honor of fallen U.S. soldiers from Illinois.

Washington, D.C., the 51st state.

“Washington, D.C., has over 700,000 residents, more than the states of Wyoming or Vermont, and comparable to the states of Alaska and North Dakota,” Rep. Will Guzzardi, D-Chicago, said on the House floor. “However, these 700,000 Americans have no U.S. senators, no voting representation in the U.S. House, no ability to control their own budget. The city that is the seat of our great government, a 47-percent African American city, is an emblem of disenfranchisement.”

Earlier this year, the U.S. House passed legislation authorizing statehood for the district, which would be renamed Washington, Douglass Commonwealth. But that legislation passed on a straight party-line vote, 216208, with no Republicans supporting it.

MCSO warns residents of phone call scam Residents beware: our community is being targeted by a warrant phone call scam where scammers are calling you, giving the name of one of our deputies, advising you that there is a warrant for your arrest, and telling you to go purchase gift cards, scratch them off and provide the numbers on the back to avoid going to jail.

The Sheriff’s department’s number one priority is to protect you. Here are more tips to prevent this from happening to you: • Please pause and think. If you have

not committed a criminal act, why would there be a reason for a warrant for your arrest?

• Criminals may try to pressure you, scare or intimidate you, telling you that the Sheriff’s Office will come and arrest you if you do not provide gift card numbers to them immediately.

• Names of our deputies are being used in this scam. Names of our personnel are open to the public which, in this situation, provides opportunity for criminal actions to take place.

• The McHenry County Sheriff’s Office does not take bond over the phone, ever. Also, bond is never taken in a form of a gift card.

Thank you to those residents who have called the department and made us aware that this scam is occurring.

If you are questioning if there is a warrant for your arrest, residents can call the Sheriff’s Department to verify at 815-3382144. The Warrants Division and the Corrections Facility can assist residents who call the nonemergency number.

Court news

Former middle school teacher charged with 25 counts of sexual assault Two defendants, charged with a total of more than 50 counts of sexual incidents with minors in separate cases, both pleaded not guilty in Lake County Circuit Court on the morning of Friday, May 7.

Ilan Gibori, 46, a former middle school teacher from Vernon Hills, has been charged with 25 counts of criminal sexual assault by a person in a position of trust or supervision with a victim between the ages of 13 and 17.

The charge is a Class 1 felony, which carries a sentencing range of four to 15 years per count.

Gibori was arrested by the Department of Homeland Security in March at Dallas-Fort Worth Airport while allegedly attempting to evade a Lake County warrant on the charges.

Isai Gonzaga, 26, of Round Lake Park, has been charged with 26 counts of aggravated criminal sexual abuse, after allegedly trading vape cartridges and marijuana edibles to teenagers in the Gurnee area in exchange for sex acts or money.

The charge is a Class 2 felony, which carries a sentencing range of three to seven years for each count upon conviction.

Gonzaga and Gibori both pleaded not guilty May 7 before Lake County Circuit Judge Daniel Shanes in separate arraignment hearings.

Bond review hearings have also been scheduled for both defendants.

Gonzaga’s bail had been set at $250,000 and he has been released after posting $25,000 bond, 10 percent of that amount.

Assistant State’s Attorney Mary Stanton, prosecuting the Gonzaga case, said at the time Gonzaga’s bail was set, the court was aware of two victims, and now there are three alleged victims. That

was the basis of her request for a bond review with the goal of increasing Gonzaga’s bail.

Shanes scheduled a May 13 bond review hearing for Gonzaga.

Gibori has remained in Lake County Jail with bail set at $2 million, and his attorney, Tim Carter, asked for a bond review hearing to have the amount reduced.

“We believe there has been a change of circumstances since the last hearing,” Carter said without elaborating.

State’s Attorney Eric Rinehart said Friday he doesn’t believe the amount of the bond is the issue.

“We believe Mr. Gibori should remain in custody while he awaits trial, in light of the fact he fled the area after becoming aware of the investigation,” Rinehart said.

Shanes set a bond review hearing for Gibori on May 27.

On March 24, the Vernon Hills Police Department received information from the Department of Children and Family Services that it is believed Gibori had sexually assaulted a minor victim on numerous occasions over a period of several years.

A preliminary investigation determined Gibori met the victim while he was a teacher at Cooper Middle School in Buffalo Grove in 2017. Gibori left Cooper School in July 2019 and had worked at The House Tutoring Lounge in Glencoe prior to his arrest.

Gurnee police began investigating Gonzaga after receiving information that he was trading vape cartridges and marijuana edibles in exchange for explicit pictures, money, or sex acts determined by the item being obtained by the victim.

Anyone with further information on either case is asked to contact authorities through their local police department.

Man arrested after exiting vehicle during traffic stop, armed with firearm

On May 3, 2021, at approximately 7:00 p.m., a Lake County Sheriff’s Deputy was on patrol in the area of Sheridan Road south of Wadsworth Road, Beach Park. The deputy observed a vehicle traveling on Sheridan Road in a reckless manner (speeding, weaving between vehicles, driving over a curb), before pulling into the Beach Mobile Home Park.

The deputy turned in to the mobile home park to conduct a traffic stop. As the deputy pulled in, the driver, Quentin Newbrey, 34, of the 38700 block of North Sheridan Road, Beach Park, parked and exited his vehicle. Newbrey was armed with a semi-automatic pistol and quickly approached the front door of a mobile home. The sheriff’s deputy gave instructions for Newbrey to drop the pistol, which he did.

After dropping the firearm, Newbrey was non-compliant with the deputy. He pulled his pants down and began to urinate on the side of the mobile home, ignoring the deputy’s instructions. The deputy subsequently utilized his electronic control device (Taser) on Newbrey and he was able to take Newbrey into custody.

Newbrey was uninjured and was transported to the Lake County Jail, where he resisted correctional officers and was subsequently pepper sprayed.

After reviewing the facts and circumstances of the case, the Lake County State’s Attorney’s Office approved the following charges: Unlawful Possession of a Firearm by a Felon (class 2 felony), Aggravated Unlawful Possession of a Firearm (class 2 felony), Possessing a Firearm While Not Being Eligible for FOID

(class 3 felony), Resisting Arrest (class A misdemeanor) and Reckless Driving (class A misdemeanor).

Newbrey remains held at the Lake County Jail on $75,000.00 bail pending a return court date of May 20, 2021 at 10:00 a.m. in courtroom T020.

All defendants are presumed innocent unless proven guilty in a court of law.

Sheriff’s Special Investigations Group arrest drug trafficker, seize two firearms

The Lake County Sheriff’s Office Special Investigations Group concluded a narcotics investigation which resulted in the arrest of a drug dealer and the seizure of two firearms.

On April 27, 2021, following the investigation, members of the Sheriff’s Special Investigations Group obtained an arrest warrant for Sincere D. Geertz, 20, of the 0-100 block of North Park Avenue, Waukegan.

The arrest warrant was for: Two counts of unlawful delivery of MDMA (class X felonies), two counts of unlawful possession of MDMA (class 1 felonies), one count of delivery of a controlled substance (class 1 felony), and one count of unlawful possession of a controlled substance (class 4 felony).

A Lake County Judge authorized the warrant and set bond at $350,000.

On May 3, 2021, at approximately 2:45 p.m., members of the Sheriff’s Special Investigations Unit and Waukegan Police Gang Investigation Unit set up surveillance in an area Geertz was expected to be. Geertz arrived in a vehicle and was taken into custody without incident. While being arrested, Geertz was found to be in possession of a semi-automatic pistol.

A search of the vehicle Geertz’ arrived in revealed a second semi-automatic pistol along with 13 pills of Ecstasy (MDMA) packaged for sale.

After hearing the facts and circumstances surrounding the arrest, the Lake County State’s Attorney’s Office also approved the following charges for Geertz: aggravated unlawful possession of a firearm by a felon (class 2 felony) and unlawful possession of a controlled substance with intent to deliver (class 1 felony).

Geertz remains held in the Lake County Jail on $500,000 bail. He was due in court on May 10, 2021.

Sheriff John D. Idleburg said, “In less than two weeks our Special Investigations Group successfully apprehended two drug traffickers and seized three firearms. I am very proud of the efforts of this unit and the hard work of our entire staff to keep the Lake County community safe.”

Search warrant conducted at residence of charged child sexual abuser

The Lake County Sheriff’s Office initiated an investigation when information was learned about a predatory criminal sexual assault. The child victim disclosed to a trusted family member that she had been assaulted for approximately three years, by an individual who was known to the family. The family reported the assaults to law-enforcement.

The case was assigned to the Lake County Sheriff’s Office Children Advocacy Unit and an immediate investigation commenced. Sheriff’s detectives worked with members of the Lake County Children’s Advocacy Center to conduct the investigation.

Information was gathered

indicating Jose Torrez, 50, of the 33100 block of North Sears Boulevard, was the adult responsible for sexually assaulting the child. Torrez was a close acquaintance of a family member of the child.

Sheriff’s detectives learned some of the sexual assaults took place not only at Torrez’ residence, but also motels in Grayslake and Libertyville, as well as a residence in Waukegan. Additionally, sheriff’s detectives learned Torrez took the girl on a trip to Mexico at one point and as a result, sheriff’s detectives requested the assistance of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI).

In March of 2021, Waukegan Police Detectives obtained an arrest warrant for Torrez for three counts of predatory criminal sexual assault of a child under the age of 13, for the assaults which took place at the Waukegan residence. Torrez was arrested on that warrant at his residence on March 31, 2021, by Lake County Sheriff’s Deputies.

On May 4, 2021, sheriff’s detectives, with the assistance of the FBI and Lake County State’s Attorney’s Office conducted a search warrant at Torrez’ residence.

The child has been safe with her family since the time she disclosed the assaults.

Torrez was being held in the Lake County Jail on $500,000 bail.

The investigation remains ongoing and additional charges are expected.

Sheriff John D. Idleburg said, “Preying on our most vulnerable is inexcusable. We will always seek justice for the victims of sexual abuse, and we have dedicated a full-time detective to the Lake County Children’s Advocacy Center for that exact purpose. I am grateful for the collaboration which went into this investigation between local and federal agencies, to help a young child who was victimized in terrible way.”
