Creating climate resiliency and reconnecting habitats at Grant Woods Forest Preserve

Something groundbreaking is happening at Grant Woods Forest Preserve in Ingleside. Pati Vitt, manager of restoration ecology at the Lake County Forest Preserves, has launched a research project designed to restore 180 acres of former farmland within the preserve using a climate-adapted, regionally sourced native seed mix.

The Growing Through Change project is supported by grants through the Preservation Foundation, the charitable partner of the Lake County Forest Preserves.

These include a $1.1 million private donation and a $216,000 grant from the Wildlife Conservation Society Climate Adaptation Fund, which is made possible through the generous support of the Doris Duke Charitable Foundation.

The goal of the project is to learn how to cultivate and restore resilient native landscapes with plants that can withstand a shifting climate. The project will also engage seed producers, conservation organizations, neighbors, volunteers, and landowners to build and sustain a demand for climate-adapted seed.

“The secret to cultivating native plants that are able to withstand the effects of climate change may lie in a seed’s ability to adapt to its regional provenance,” Vitt said. “Regional provenance is the geographic home or habitat where seed is sown, and where plants mature and produce more seeds over time.”

To test this, Vitt will plant seeds from different sources: those from

close to home and others from as far south as Kentucky. “We want to see how seeds obtained from different sources grow, how the plants fare and how they survive a period of rapid environmental change,” Vitt said. Illinois’ climate is predicted to be similar to Oklahoma’s by the year 2050 and that of Texas by 2080, she said. Vitt, who has been studying the effects of climate change on native seeds and plant populations for 15 years, obtained seeds that came from grasses and plants, including little bluestem and black-eyed Susan, growing nearby as well as from Illinois and Kentucky.

“The project will help increase habitat connectivity, ensure longterm resilience, and establish a new market for climate-adapted seed for our region,” said Angelo Kyle, president of the Lake County Forest Preserves. “We can prepare for rapid changes, both known and unknown, and ensure our natural lands are more resilient in the face of a changing climate.”

Forest Preserve crews will prepare the fields in early December.

A third of the fields will be planted with seeds sourced from local native plants. The rest will be planted with seeds of the same plants from northern, central and southern Illinois locations, as well as Kentucky.

Gray-headed coneflower, wild bergamot and purple coneflower seeds will also be planted. “The goal of planting in December is to provide

Surgeon general: Illinois numbers ‘moving in the right direction’ Urges public to get vaccine, continue practicing safety measures

CAPITOL NEWS ILLINOIS

The top public health official in the United States said last week that the COVID-19 trends in Illinois are improving and he urged the public to get vaccinated as soon as the doses become available to them.

“The numbers here in Illinois are moving in the right direction and we have a finish line in sight with these two vaccines,” U.S. Surgeon General Dr. Jerome Adams said during a news conference in Chicago.

Adams was referring to the vaccines that were recently granted Emergency Use Authorization by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, one developed by the drug companies Pfizer and BioNTech, and another

by Moderna.

The state recently began distributing the Pfizer vaccine and expected to begin shipping the Moderna vaccine last week.

The major difference between the two vaccines is that the Pfizer vaccine must be stored at an ultra-low temperature of 80 below zero, whereas the Moderna vaccine can be stored at temperatures up to 20 below

zero. Both have been shown to be 94 to 95 percent effective in preventing people from developing COVID-19 symptoms.

But while people are waiting for their turn to receive the vaccine, Adams urged people to continue following public health guidelines—wearing face masks in public, frequently washing hands and wiping down surfaces and avoiding large gatherings.

“We can’t let fatigue let us make poor decisions this holiday season that end up making us backtrack, especially when we are so incredibly close to getting ourselves and everyone else across the finish line,” he said.

Adams was in Chicago to tour local hospitals there as they administered vaccinations and to meet with the state’s public health director, Dr. Ngozi Ezike, as well as Chicago’s public health director, Dr. Alison Arwady, to get an update about the state’s vaccination program.

Adams visited Chicago as the state’s overall infection rate continued to decline.

The Illinois Department of Public Health reported

last Friday, Dec. 25, that 5,742 new confirmed or probable cases had been diagnosed over the previous 24 hours out of 98,958 tests performed. The preliminary seven-day statewide positivity for Dec. 18-24 is 8.6 percent.

A panel of state lawmakers received a briefing on the state’s vaccination plan where they were told the state expects to receive enough vaccines by the end of the month to vaccinate all of its front-line health care workers and more than a quarter of all the residents and staff of long-term care facilities.

Those are the population groups categorized as 1A in the state’s Vaccination Planning Guide, the first people in line for the vaccine.

Andrew Friend, IDPH deputy director for the Office of Preparedness and Response, said that as of Saturday, Dec. 19, the state had received more than 109,000 doses of the Pfizer vaccine.

That included 23,328 doses that were shipped directly to Chicago and 85,800 for the rest of the state.

All of those doses were distributed to hospitals, ei-

ther through Regional Hospital Coordinating Centers or directly to hospitals that have the equipment to store the vaccine at ultra-low temperatures. Outside of Chicago, they were focused in the 50 counties with the highest death rates per-capita from COVID-19.

Friend estimated it would take four to six weeks to vaccinate all the 1A individuals who agree to get the vaccine.

The next group, 1B, will include people age 75 and older and front-line essential workers outside of the health

care industry.

After that, he said, will come group 1C, which includes people age 65 to 74 as well as people age 16-64 who have other health issues such as heart or lung disease that put them at high risk of developing serious complications from COVID-19.

Friend emphasized, however, that the length of time it takes to move through those groups will depend on several factors such as how many shipments the state actually receives and the “uptake rate” –the percentage of

“The project will demonstrate if adaptability strategies

people within each category who elect to get the vaccine.

In Chicago, Adams acknowledged that many people might be skeptical or have questions about the vaccine, but he encouraged people understand the facts.

“It is perfectly OK to have questions about this vaccine,” he said. “I want you to ask questions about this vaccine. What is not OK is to let misinformation lead you into making a decision which is poor for your health or for the health of your communities.”

using source-identified seeds from more southern and distant regions, coupled with hydrological restoration, are as successful or more successful than standard sourcing strategies,” Vitt said. The research is necessary to preserve plant vitality and protect native ecosystems, she said. “We will then establish data-driven guidelines that are more explicitly climate-adapted.”

“I’m very excited about this project and its potential

to inform commerce on a national level,” Vitt said. “The Growing Through Change project is another example of the Lake County Forest Preserves commitment to its community, and to regional issues of climate importance,” she said.

MCRide now serving all of McHenry County After a recent approval from the McHenry County Board, the expansion of the MCRide Dial-a-Ride service will begin as of January 1, 2021. The MCRide will now serve the entirety of McHenry County, with an additional seven pointdestinations outside of the County. The expansion provides access to essential transportation services for an additional 146,000 residents, including 22,000 seniors and 10,000 individuals with disabilities.

The expansion of the coverage area isn’t the only improvement coming to the MCRide program, though. MCRide will now operate 6 a.m. to 7 p.m., seven days a week. All other program policies,

including fare rates, remain the same.

Prior to the countywide expansion, townships and municipalities hoping to take part in the program were required to provide financial contributions in order for their residents to have access to MCRide.

Moving forward, no local municipalities or townships will contribute financially to the program; McHenry County will shoulder the entirety of the financial local share. The program is also supported through federal grants and contributions from Pace Suburban Bus. More information about MCRide can be found online at www.

McHenryCountyDOT.org or by calling 815-334-4981.

Restaurant asks Illinois Supreme Court to throw out indoor dining ban

Restaurant in Kane County remains open to indoor dining

By Sarah Mansur CAPITOL NEWS ILLINOIS

Lawyers for a Kane County restaurant are asking the Illinois Supreme Court to overturn an appellate court decision that found the governor’s indoor dining ban was lawfully imposed.

FoxFire Tavern is one of dozens of restaurants that sued Gov. JB Pritzker and his administration after he issued an executive order imposing stricter restrictions on businesses, including a ban on indoor dining and bar service, in response to rising COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations throughout the state.

The state’s highest court has not yet weighed in on the legal arguments challenging Pritzker’s power to impose the indoor dining ban, or any other restrictions implemented in his numerous executive orders.

The 2nd District Appellate Court’s decision last month that upheld Pritzker’s order prohibiting restaurants from allowing indoor dining cannot stand because it “leaves the restaurant industry out in the cold and without legal redress,” Kev-

in Nelson, one of FoxFire’s attorneys, wrote in the legal brief to the Illinois Supreme Court submitted on Dec. 18.

The brief asks the court to accept the case and reverse the appellate court’s ruling on the governor’s executive order. However, since the court is not obligated to hear the case, the justices could reject that request and decline to rule on it.

The restaurant won an early victory after suing Pritzker in October when a Kane County judge granted the restaurant’s request for a temporary restraining order that allowed FoxFire to ignore the new indoor dining restrictions contained in the executive order.

The 2nd District Appellate Court’s decision last month overruled the Kane County judge’s decision.

The appellate court rejected the arguments from FoxFire’s legal team that Pritzker is limited, under state law, to issue one 30-day disaster proclamation, and also does not have the power to order businesses closed.

Instead, the appellate court found that state law empowers the governor to

issue multiple disaster declarations. The appellate court also ruled that Pritzker’s executive order did not amount to a “closure” for businesses, and therefore, Illinois Department of Public Health Act regulations governing business closures did not apply in this case.

Since that appellate court decision, the FoxFire case has been consolidated in Sangamon County court with 18 other cases filed by businesses operating as restaurants that are challenging the indoor dining ban.

The consolidated cases in Sangamon County are ongoing, and no final decision has been issued.

FoxFire’s appeal to the Illinois Supreme Court is known as an “interlocutory appeal” because it asks a higher court to review a decision while the case is pending in a lower court.

The governor, IDPH and the Kane County Health Department, which are named in FoxFire’s appeal, have 21 days from Friday, Dec. 18, to file a response but they are not required to do so. A spokesperson for the Illinois Attorney General’s Office,

which represents the governor and state agencies, said its lawyers are reviewing the legal filing.

FoxFire, a steak and seafood restaurant in Geneva, continues to allow seating indoors, in defiance of the governor’s executive order, as its legal case remains pending.

KC Gulbro, co-owner of the restaurant, did not respond to requests for comment on Dec. 21. A call to the restaurant confirmed it is still serving customers indoors.

Pritzker has said his administration is relying on county health departments and local law enforcement to issue citations and fines to restaurants and bars that violate the ban on indoor dining and bar service. A misdemeanor citation and fine are a last resort only after attempts to ensure voluntary compliance are unsuccessful.

A Kane County Health Department spokesperson declined to comment, citing pending litigation, and referred questions to the Kane County State’s Attorney’s Office.

Illinois leading the nation in COVID-19 vaccinations CAPITOL NEWS ILLINOIS

More than 100,000 doses of COVID-19 vaccines have been administered in Illinois since the first vaccine was approved for emergency use this month, more than any other state in the nation, and state officials expect the pace of the vaccination program to speed up as the federal government begins distributing a second drug last week.

Gov. JB Pritzker made that announcement during a virtual media briefing Dec. 23, adding that eventually, larger states like California and Texas will surpass Illinois simply because of the size of their populations.

“But the vaccine team in Illinois sprinted past them all in week one,” Pritzker said.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration granted Emergency Use Authorization Dec. 11 for a vaccine developed by the drug companies Pfizer and

BioNTech, and the state began delivering those vaccines two weeks ago.

On Friday, Dec. 18, FDA granted the same authorization for a vaccine developed

by Moderna and shipments of that vaccine are now being distributed to hospitals and local health departments throughout the state.

By Dec. 26, Pritzker said, the state expected to receive another 23,400 doses of the Pfizer vaccine, plus 174,600 doses of the Moderna vaccine for distribution throughout Illinois outside of Chicago. In addition, Illinois is dedicating another 37,050 doses of the Pfizer vaccine for a federal government’s vaccination program for long-term care facilities, which is being administered by the pharmacy companies CVS and Walgreen’s.

“And with the Moderna shipments (last week), vac-

cines will have officially reached all 102 counties in Illinois,” Pritzker said.

The city of Chicago, which receives its own shipments directly from the federal government, expected to receive 15,600 doses of the Pfizer vaccine and 48,000 doses of the Moderna vaccine last week.

All of the vaccines being distributed in the first phase of the program are earmarked for health care workers and the residents and staff of long-term care facilities. State officials said this week they expect it will take four to six weeks to complete that phase before the program expands to cover people over age 75 and other front-line essential workers.

Meanwhile, the spread of COVID-19 in Illinois continued to show signs of declining. Despite this trend,

however, Pritzker said he has no immediate plans to lift the Tier 3 mitigations currently in effect statewide, which includes the closure of bars and restaurants to indoor service and strict limits on public gatherings.

“The challenge that we have is, what we don’t want to do is swing back and forth between mitigations and not having mitigations within days or a week or two of one another,” Pritzker said. “And as we head into New Year’s, my concern is that we might see—we are going likely to see—some uptick from Christmas and from New Years in hospitalizations as well as cases.”

“Having said that,” he added, “even if we brought the entire state or specific regions from Tier 3 to Tier 2, that would not open bars and restaurants for indoor service yet. We need to bring

it down even further and for a longer period of time.”

Pritzker did announce that his administration is increasing funding for child care providers that take part in the state’s Child Care Assistance Program, or CCAP, a program that helps low-income families pay for child care.

Pritzker said the state will invest $20 million of its remaining allocation from the federal Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security, or CARES Act, to pay for all eligible days of child care for families enrolled in the program, regardless of the child’s actual attendance, for all of December, January and February.

In addition, he said, the Department of Children and Family Services will lift the capacity limits all licensed family child care providers this month, returning them

The money will also be used to buy and distribute personal protective equipment to child care providers throughout the state.

Pritzker said the intent of the additional funding is to provide some financial stability to child care providers who have seen their enrollments decline or have had staff call in sick during the pandemic.

“These tumultuous times have rained down in multiple ways on our early childhood network of providers,” Pritzker said. “And I wanted to make it easier for them so that we can make sure that childcare is available to parents who need it.”

For the last 11 years, Chief Clesceri served as the Chief of Police at McHenry County College. He started his career as a police officer, quickly being promoted to Sergeant and Investigations Commander.

Chief Clesceri rose to the rank of Assistant Chief of Investigations, supervising 240 Investigators, managing all criminal and administrative investigations units in the County of Orange DA, Santa Ana, CA. Chief Clesceri is also a graduate of Concord Law School of Purdue with an Executive Juris Doctorate of Law,

Rinehart sworn in as Lake County State’s Attorney Lake County State’s Attorney Eric F. Rinehart was sworn in by Lake County Chief Judge Diane E. Winter in front of nearly two dozen friends and family members at the Lake County Courthouse in Waukegan Tuesday morning.

Rinehart, 44, said his mission as Lake County State’s Attorney will be to “fight every day to make Lake County safer without sacrificing our commitment to equality, transparency, or the rights of all individuals.”

“We will always proceed

with compassion and transparency, but our first responsibility to the people of Lake County is the completion of the mission: we will reduce crime and end disparities in our courthouse,” Rinehart said. “I promise my office will protect all communities regardless of race, class, gender, or sexual orientation.”

The son of two teachers,

Rinehart learned the importance of everyone being treated equally and that America’s sacred mission is to provide a political, economic, and legal system that allows anyone to prosper regardless of the circumstances of their birth.

After graduating from Knox College and the University of Chicago Law School, Rinehart spent two years practicing civil law in Chicago.

Pursuing work closer to home and in order to spend more time in the courtroom, Rinehart joined the Lake County Public Defender’s Office in

2003 before starting his own law firm in 2009.

Rinehart has conducted over 70 jury trials in Lake County and handled appeals that have culminated in over 20 oral arguments before the Illinois appellate courts and the Supreme Court of Illinois.

Rinehart is married to his wife, Stephanie, and has two sons, Sam and Teddy.

“Nothing is more important to me than my family’s safety,” Rinehart said. “I will take that passion and determination to protect all families with me to work every day.”
