Slaves found area pipeline in Underground Railroad Abolitionists guided them to freedom

By Jason Arndt STAFF WRITER

Before the Civil War, the Underground Railroad served as a thoroughfare for runaway slaves who risked their lives, often traveling thousands of miles, to escape their abusive Confederate owners.

Along the way, they found abolition-friendly residents and ‘conductors’ who guided them to safety, including many in southeast Wisconsin.

Caroline Quarlls, then 16, according to the Wisconsin Historical Society, was the first Underground Railroad ‘passenger’ to set foot in Wisconsin around 1842.

“She traveled by steamboat to Alton, Illinois, and then by stagecoach to Milwaukee, where she arrived in early August, 1842,” the Wisconsin Historical Society wrote in an essay. “Pursued by agents of her owner, she was hidden by a series of sympathetic abolitionists in Milwaukee, Pewaukee, Waukesha and Spring Prairie.”

Lyman Goodnow, one of the abolitionists, brought her to a Town of Spring Prairie farmhouse.

Meanwhile, around that time, Dr. Edward Dyer from Burlington visited a nearby

friend in the township and heard Quarlls took shelter.

Goodnow, according to the Burlington Historical Society, recounted Dyer’s insistence on meeting with Quarlles, whose name was spelled Quarles in some records.

“We could not keep the Doctor from seeing the girl; so we all went down to where she was, and held another consultation, when it was decided I should take Mr. (Richard) Chenery’s buggy and harness, and continue the journey to safety and freedom,” Goodnow recounted, adding Dyer raced back to Burlington to gather necessities such as food and money to take on the journey.

Three weeks later, after traveling through Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Goodnow ushered Quarlls to freedom in Ontario, Canada.

“After crossing the Detroit River, Caroline began crying, and clutched me by the arm, asking if it was possible that she was being taken back to St. Louis,” Goodnow remembered. “I talked and explained, but it took some time to clear her mind, that side of the river appearing to her like the country across from St. Louis. I left Caroline with Rev. Haskell, or at his house. He was a missionary at Sandwich, Canada.”

Quarlles later learned how to read, married another former slave named Allen Watkins, and lived in Ontario until her death in 1892.

She had six children, three

boys and three girls, and many grandchildren.

Quarlls, however, wasn’t the only slave who passed through Southeast Wisconsin.

According to historical records, Joshua Glover and even Frederick Douglass were among the hundreds.

Guiding Glover In 1852, two years after Congress passed the Fugitive Slave Act, which allowed slaves to be recaptured and brought back to their owner, Joshua Glover escaped his owner in St. Louis and headed north by foot to Wisconsin.

“Wisconsin was a free state where there were was no slavery. It must have taken weeks to get from St. Louis to Racine, Wisconsin on foot,” states an essay from the Wisconsin Historical Society. “Soon after he arrived, Joshua got a job, found a place to live, made some friends and settled down. He was finally free.”

Two years later, however, his slave owner Benammi Garland found out Glover was living in Racine.

Garland, and a U.S. Marshal, then arrived to the City of Racine, where they captured Glover and transported him to the Milwaukee jail.

The capture, according to the Burlington Historical Society, reignited memories of Quarlls journey to freedom.

Chauncey C. Olin, his conductor, recalled Glover’s capture and the physical abuse he sustained.

“He was captured by his master in Racine, brought to Milwaukee and thrown into jail without warrant or authority of any kind,” Olin recounted. “Even the United States Marshal for the State of Wisconsin lent himself to the dishonorable act of going personally to Racine and capturing Glover while at

work trying to earn an honest living.”

Glover, according to Olin, resisted arrest and required physical force before being brought to jail bloodied, bruised and covered in dirt.

Sherman Booth, an abolitionist, and several others responded by storming the jail the following morning

with a battering ram to set him free.

Olin said the actions of Booth and others in Milwaukee showcased humanity.

Additionally, according to Olin, the Racine County Sheriff issued a warrant for

Live-in caretaker has nowhere to go I was living with an elderly woman for the past two years after going through a painful divorce from my husband. I have been her caregiver and housekeeper in exchange for room and board. We got along great and she became like family.

Her son would come by once a month before the COVID-19 virus to check on her and he would pay me just enough so I could pay my cell phone bill and for gas and food. Since he was still going to work and out with friends I suggested he not come over unless he quarantined for 14 days.

Two weeks ago her son called and said he would be taking over care for his mother and I would no longer be needed. I was stunned because he hardly even calls her. I cannot picture him helping with her baths and personal hygiene much less the physical therapy exercises we do together. The only time he has brought food it has been fast food, which she cannot eat because of high blood pressure. I have cooked every meal for her and kept her at home and safe the past few months. I am worried for her as much as for myself.

I have not been able to find another job due to the coronavirus and cannot move into an apartment without the first month’s rent and security deposit.

Her son is moving in soon and I do not know where I can go. He has made it very clear I have to move out as soon as he arrives.

The mother just told me her son lost his job and was losing his home so that’s why he’s moving in. I am extremely sad to leave this woman as she is very dear to me and I also worry about the lack of care she may receive. I have not once seen her son help with household repairs

or caregiving the past two years. I have nowhere to go other than my car.

Dear readers, This is one of several letters received this past week that involved someone being essentially thrown out. Since these people never had a lease or signed agreement there is no reason other than a moral obligation to not cause anyone to become homeless now. I have found many people who feel no sense of moral obligation to anyone.

This son seems to be one of them. He was not moving in with his mother to be the caregiver she needs. He was moving in because he had nowhere else to go.

I called the woman and asked how she met the elderly woman. She told me when going through her painful divorce she met the woman at her church. They both had been praying after services in the same pew for several weeks. When the elderly woman noticed her crying she asked if she could be of any help.

“She was so compassionate that I soon found myself telling her everything about my life.

How my daughter had died when she was 18 in a car accident and overwhelming grief had taken a toll on our marriage. How our house had gone into foreclosure when my husband lost his business and there wasn’t anything left. I told her how I had nowhere to go and was afraid of becoming homeless. She had been so kind and asked me if I wanted a job,” she told me.

It seemed the elderly

woman had been looking for a live-in caregiver so she could stay in her home.

The woman told me about all her duties and said it didn’t feel like work but like living with family.

“I have always been a hard worker around the house so I did not mind caring for her home, driving to medical appointments, grocery shopping, cooking and bathing. As time went on she has needed more personal care. She is getting weak and a little forgetful sometimes,” she said.

We talked about where she worked before getting married; she had been a CNA. Once married she took over the bookkeeping for her husband’s small contracting business. When their daughter had died they had been so devastated her husband began to drink and lost the business. She had not had a job since then.

We discussed some job options and applying for assistance. These all would take some time, something she did not have a lot of.

I asked if the son would allow her to stay and help with the mother but she said he had insisted he did not want her there. She had a feeling he was bringing a girlfriend and they wanted her out of the way. She shared her biggest fear was that they would bring the virus to the elderly woman, endangering her health and even her life. I understood her fear but knew she did not have any rights.

About two months ago I had helped a lady whose mortgage payments were too much since the loss of her job; now, her children who had been renting from her had moved out. She had said she would be willing to take in a renter for her basement apartment, which had its own entrance, to help with costs. She also was willing to reduce the rent if they could do some of

the outside maintenance. I knew it could be the perfect solution for this woman.

I texted the lady while we continued our phone conversation and soon received a text message back that she would love to have the woman move in. She quoted a very reasonable rent if she helped out. I asked the woman if she would like to go see it and she said she would the following morning. I told her we would be providing the security deposit and first two months’ rent to allow her time to find a job and prevent her from becoming homeless.

With the housing arrangements almost set we talked about other assistance she would need to move in. The woman hesitantly mentioned she did not have a bed. I told her we could provide a new bed for her along with bedding. I asked if she had any furniture and she said the elderly woman had told her to take some of the furniture stored in her garage.

She would know more after seeing the apartment.

I suggested she visit the elderly woman regularly.

“I think I will do that.

I do not plan on going out anywhere yet so it should be safe for me to visit. I will tell her we can twice a week. I can do her nails and we can do her exercises together. That will let me check on her and I will feel so much better knowing if she is okay,” she said.

When we spoke the next day I could hear the excitement in her voice.

“The apartment is perfect and my landlord is so nice.

We got along great and have so much in common. I asked if I could move in tomorrow and she said that would fine,” she said.

I told her we would have the rent checks dropped off immediately, a bed delivered, gift cards for household necessities, food

and gas.

“I don’t know what I would have done without you. You have saved me from becoming homeless and helped my new landlord too. She told me how she has been struggling to keep up. You have helped both of us,” she said.

I reminded her many people made it possible.

Governor signs budget, touts spending of federal funds on child care grants Financial uncertainty still swirls as COVID-19 continues to impact tax revenues

By Jerry Nowicki CAPITOL NEWS ILLINOIS

Gov. JB Pritzker signed a state budget for fiscal year 2021 last week, but there is no more financial clarity now than there was when lawmakers passed the measure last month.

The $42.9 billion operating budget relies upon borrowing up to $5 billion from the federal government, which would be necessary if Congress does not pass any laws providing extra funding for states amid revenue shortfalls stemming from the novel coronavirus pandemic. The budget includes repayment of $1.6 billion in borrowing to cover shortfalls in the current fiscal year budget due to the pandemic.

According to the May report of the Commission on Government Forecasting and Accountability, or CoGFA, the revenue estimates for the upcoming fiscal year beginning July 1 are $37.6 billion if a graduated income tax constitutional amendment passes. That figure drops to $36.4 billion if voters do not approve the change to Illinois’ tax structure.

If voters approve the graduated income tax amendment in November, the rates—which would shift to charge those earning more than $250,000 annually a higher income tax rate—are

estimated to generate about $1.2 billion, according to CoGFA. If the public health crisis had not hit, that number would be $286 million higher.

Sales tax estimates were revised downward from March to May by nearly $1.5 billion, to $7.5 billion total for fiscal year 2021.

In a press release, the governor’s office emphasized that the spending plan “maintains funding for critical programs, such as education, health care and human services.”

Funding will remain level from the current year for K-12 education, community colleges and public universities.

“The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the enormous role government plays in keeping communities safe and providing the tools people need to build better lives,” Pritzker said in a statement. “While the pandemic has had a devastating impact on our state revenues, investing in our people will allow the state to rebound and recover from this pandemic as we safely re-open. I will continue to advocate for a national program to support state and local governments to make up the difference in the revenues that fund vital services like hospitals and

salaries for teachers and first responders.”

According to the governor’s office, more than $5 billion in federal aid— including funding from the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security, or CARES, Act—will be directed to public health, social services, small businesses, local governments and households, including funding earmarked for communities disproportionately impacted by COVID-19.

That includes $270 million in CARES Act funding to supporting child care providers, the governor said at an event in Moline Wednesday.

“And here’s the best part,” Pritzker said at the event. “Because there’s no blueprint for this kind of program, we’re asking providers to tell us how to design the approach that best helps them reopen safely with smaller group sizes, without imposing large tuition increases on families.”

Illinois’ Coronavirus Urgent Remediation Emergency, or CURE, Fund distributes CARES Act dollars, including Business Interruption Grants specifically designed to support businesses that endure lost revenue due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

tunity, in partnership with the Illinois Department of Human Services, is charged with developing the grant program for licensed childcare providers. The Child Care Restoration Grants will be administered by the Illinois Network of Child Care Resource and Referral Agencies, or INCCRRA. An “Intent to Apply” survey also has been launched to gather information for the development of the grants program, and money is to be released in July. Providers are asked to respond to the

survey by 5 p.m. June 19.

More information is available at inccrra.org or by clicking here.

Other CARES Act disbursements from the CURE Fund and Local CURE Fund for local governments include: $636 million for small business/child care centers assistance; $458 million for household and community support programs; $830 million for health care providers for pandemic-related stability payments; $250 million to local governments for reimbursements

of COVID-19 related costs; and $1.5 billion for state agency COVID-19 related expenses.

The governor’s office also said the budget includes “reductions of operations appropriations of $200 million and another $140 million in transportation funds at the Department of Transportation from the governor’s introduced levels.” Some of those savings is the result of “a continued partial hiring freeze and restricted operations expenditures,” according to the office.

COVID-19 testing in Lake County long-term care facilities expanded The Lake County Health Department is now facilitating Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) testing for residents and staff of longterm care facilities throughout the county. The initiative launched June 1, 2020, and aims to identify active COVID-19 infections, prevent further transmission of the virus, and collect baseline data to inform ongoing testing plans.

Results from the first two facilities to participate identified three asymptomatic staff members carrying the virus, who were promptly sent home to self-isolate. These initial results demonstrate the importance of proactive testing in congregate settings.

“We have been working very hard to bring testing to long-term care facilities in Lake County to help protect their residents and staff,” said Mark Pfister, Executive Director at the Health Department. “These facilities serve a population at high risk of severe illness. By proactively testing and contact tracing, we can prevent the transmission of this virus and save lives.”

In May, the Health Department developed its testing program in collaboration with a private laboratory that

is supplying test kits and processing the specimens. Once a long-term care facility starts testing residents and staff, they must return specimens to the Health Department within 48 hours. A courier then delivers the specimens to the lab the same day, and the lab provides results in approximately 48 hours. If any positive tests are found, the Health Department notifies the facility immediately.

The program is designed to complement State testing efforts and to help facilities establish their baseline data for the development of long-term testing plans now required by the State. Facilities with current outbreaks that have not yet tested all residents and staff are being prioritized. Facilities may also choose not to participate, since they may already be testing in partnership with the Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH) or with their own contracted labs.

Since the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic in Lake County, the Health Department has worked closely with long-term care facilities in the county to help prevent COVID-19 infections. Facilities with no cases have dedicated Health Department liaisons who provide guidance

and support.

Any facility with a positive COVID-19 case is paired with a Health Department Communicable Disease investigator, who provides daily support, helps with contact tracing, assists in monitoring residents and staff for symptoms, and advises the facility on mitigation actions to prevent further spread of the virus.

The Health Department has also distributed over 824,000 items of personal protective equipment (PPE) to long-term care facilities. The Health Department will receive a final shipment from the state stockpile and distribute it next week. After this point, the facilities have been asked to utilize established supply chains to purchase supplies.

“This pandemic continues to be a very challenging situation for long-term care staff,” said Dr. Suzanne Kellman, who currently leads the Health Department’s long-term care support team.

“While they are working hard and doing their best to protect their residents, this virus spreads very easily. It seems to find any vulnerability that exists, and caregivers are often in very close contact with the residents, providing services like feeding, bathing,

and providing wound care. An asymptomatic staff could pass the virus to a resident, or an asymptomatic resident could just as easily pass the virus to the staff, who then can spread it to others.”

There are 105 long-term care facilities in Lake County.

As of June 11, 57 facilities in the county have two or more cases of COVID-19, with a cumulative total of 1,669 cases and 234 deaths. Eight of these facilities have now gone with no active infections for at least 28 days.

“To those wanting to move on and resume their normal lives, please consider the people who are most at-risk in our communities. Every week I answer calls from family members of long-term care residents who are scared for their loved ones’ lives.” said Kellman. “This pandemic is not over, and we all need to do our part and continue to follow public health guidelines.

For some, this is a matter of life or death.”

Additional Information: The Health Department reported Lake County’s first COVID-19 case on March 11, 2020. As of June 11, 2020, 8,962 Lake County residents have tested positive for the

In light of George Floyd’s death, sheriff issues statement on changes to his office “I would like to take a moment and thank the thousands of Lake County residents who have peacefully protested over the last two weeks. There is nothing more resonating than thousands coming together peacefully, to express a message. To the peaceful protestors: we see you, we hear you, and we understand you.

Law-enforcement is nothing without the support and trust of the community. Pinning on the badge comes with a tremendous amount of responsibility and trust, and we must always earn our trust from the people we serve. The Lake County Sheriff’s Office is service-oriented. We have embraced the concept of being guardians of the community that we serve. We have been working very hard to build new bridges with the community. I believe transparency is absolutely paramount in law-enforcement and it needs to be much more than a ‘buzz word.’ We are in this together with you Lake County, we are your partners.

Since taking office as your sheriff in 2018, I have made changes to organizational structure and policy to better hold ourselves accountable to the community.

One of these items included expanding our Office of Professional Standards.

The Office of Professional Standards is responsible for investigating any complaint made on our staff, reviewing every use of force incident our staff is involved in, and conducting random audits/ inspections to ensure our staff is in compliance with

policy and procedure. I added personnel to the unit to ensure we are holding ourselves accountable. It is an absolute must that we are accountable to the community.

Last year, I requested funds from the Lake County Board to purchase software to better track various performance metrics of employees, use of force incidents, and investigations conducted by the Office of Professional Standards. This year we purchased the software and are in the final stages of implementing the new program. This data-based system, also known as an early warning system, will assist us in identifying potential performance issues of our staff before those issues become a significant problem.

Early warning systems are shown to have a profound positive impact on accountability.

All of our Highway Patrol cars are equipped with video cameras and all of our deputies wear body worn cameras which are utilized while interacting with the public.

We do this for transparency and accountability. Our deputies understand all of their interactions with the public are evaluated. Not only does this provide increased public transparency, but it also helps us identify when one of our employees or our entire staff can benefit from training.

I’ve worked with our Training Division to ensure we are providing a very robust training program to our staff. All of our personnel go through extensive continued de-escalation training, human rights training,

civil rights training, cultural competency training, harassment training, bias training, use of force training, and we are nearing every employee being certified as a crisis intervention officer. We go above and beyond minimum state training requirements and are always seeking additional training opportunities, to ensure our staff are extremely well-trained and well-rounded.

Every sheriff’s office division has front-line supervision. Our sergeants, lieutenants, and deputy chiefs have all received significant training in front-line supervision, use of force investigation, and nearly every supervisor has attended Northwestern University’s ten-week Staff and Command training program. There are numerous front-line supervisors working at all times and our supervisors are held accountable for not only their actions, but the actions of those they supervise.

We embrace the principals of procedural justice and legitimacy. We are keenly aware racism exists today, even though it has no place in our society. We know every single person has their own views of law-enforcement based on their own experiences, the experiences of family members, or the experiences of friends. We always remember this when we interact with the community. While it is our responsibility to enforce the law, we understand everyone views us differently and we must always be very consciousness of that.

I have added a standard in our use of force policy that

each member of our staff has a mandated duty to intervene, if they witness any member of our organization using excessive force.

Nobody is allowed to idly stand-by if there is a situation where excessive force is being used. It is the philosophy of the Lake County Sheriff’s Office to always use de-escalation skills and using force is only used as a last resort. We have dozens of success stories where we have responded to very unstable situations where someone was in crisis which ended successfully, without using force, because of communicating effectively.

I pledge to you Lake County that I, along with my staff, will always treat the members of our community with the utmost respect. We will always be here to work with you and never against

you. We will always be open to hearing your feedback and will always be accountable to you, the people of Lake County. We will always have an open door and be transparent in everything we do – even when we do make a mistake. We too are human, and we make mistakes. I can assure you we learn from our mistakes and we will always have robust training to be the best we can be. Racism, hate, corruption, and excessive force are some of the things which have no place in our society and I certainly will not tolerate them within the Lake County Sheriff’s Office.

If you ever wish to reach out to me or my administration directly, please call me at: 847-377-4000 or email me at: sheriff@lakecountyil.gov.

I would like to close this letter by reaffirming to you that the reason I got into

this profession in 1977 was to serve the community and that is the same reason I am here in 2020 – to serve.

When I hire new deputies, I look for those with that same service-oriented drive, I look for candidates who are getting into this to be a part of the solution, not for self-gain, and not for power.

Law-enforcement is supposed to be the most noble of professions and we simply cannot accept any behavior in the ranks that is not consistent with our core values: integrity, respect, and professionalism.

Thank you for your support, Lake County. I will always be willing to be a part of the conversation and will always strive to provide the highest level of service to the people of Lake County. It is a true honor and privilege serving you.”

the arrest of Garland and the U.S. Marshal for assault and battery on Glover.

Glover, taken by buggy to Waukesha to hide, was then brought through Rochester to Racine, where conductor Olin left him with Rev. M.P. Kinney to await a safe means to travel to Canada.

“Because no boat was immediately available (the Great Lakes not yet being opened for the shipping season), Glover was taken from Racine to Spring Prairie, near Burlington, where he stayed for ‘some weeks’ before being returned to Racine and placed aboard a ship that took him to Canada,” the Burlington Historical Society states.

Historical records indicate State Sen. J.C. Mills and Rep. Samuel Pratt harbored Glover in Spring Prairie.

Meanwhile, Booth

challenged the Fugitive Slave Act before the State Supreme Court, which declared the law unconstitutional in 1855.

Wisconsin became the only state to find the act unlawful.

The U.S. Supreme Court, however, overturned the state’s decision and Booth was later convicted and imprisoned by federal authorities until President James Buchanon granted him freedom in 1861.

As for Glover, he lived the rest of his life in Ontario, where he started a family and found a job. Glover died in 1888 at the York County Industrial Home in Haymarket, Ontario.

Douglass addresses Burlington The Civil War, meanwhile, lasted from 1861 until 1865 when Union soldiers declared victory against southern

Confederates.

Midway through the Civil War, President Abraham signed the Emancipation Proclamation, which freed all slaves in southern Confederate states.

Lincoln was later assassinated in 1865 by John Wilkes Booth in Washington.

Human rights leader and former slave Frederick Douglass, according to the Burlington Historical Society, delivered an 1866 address on Lincoln’s assassination at current day Church of Nazarene in Burlington.

History teacher Dan Meddaugh, of Catholic Central High School, wrote in a letter to this paper Douglass also lauded local abolitionists for their passionate activism. “..the great orator Frederick Douglass spoke to the citizens of Burlington praising them for

their activism, yet challenging them to continue the fight,” Meddaugh wrote.

Dedicated activists Meddaugh added some Burlington homes served as havens for slaves seeking freedom from injustice.

Dyer later became the namesake of Dyer Intermediate School in the Burlington Area School District.

Dyer, according to historical records, previously called for action to end slavery in a July 4, 1840, in Delavan.

Dyer posed a pointed question before nearly 100 attending the speech.

“What then is our duty as patriots, as philanthropists and as lovers of liberty? Which side shall we be on? Surely we will be for liberty.”

Pritzker: Illinois ‘shouldn’t have a second spike’ of COVID-19 if safety rules are followed

By Peter Hancock CAPITOL NEWS ILLINOIS

Gov. JB Pritzker said June 10 that Illinois is on pace to enter the next phase of reopening after COVID-19-related shutdowns later this month, and added he doesn’t expect a second surge of the virus in the fall as long as safety guidelines are followed.

“If you go to the (Illinois Department of Public Health) website you’ll see that every one of the metrics, every one of the metrics by which the epidemiologists say we should be measuring our progress is going in the right direction,” the governor said.

“Every one of them, and it’s because of what everybody has done across the state.”

Speaking at an appear-

ance in Moline, he said that while his was “not an epidemiological opinion,” he said “we shouldn’t have a second spike” as long as face covering, social distancing and other rules are followed.

“Now we know what the mitigations are that we can put in place,” he said.

“We know how to manage through, making sure that our health care system doesn’t get overwhelmed.

But I pray, and I think we should all pray, that the fall doesn’t bring the kind of spike that some people expect. But we are much better prepared for that now than we were a few months ago when this first hit.”

Under the current schedule, the state could enter Phase 4 as early as June 26.

During that phase, gatherings of 50 or fewer people would be allowed; all health care providers would open; public schools, higher education, summer programs and child care would be allowed to resume under safety guidelines; all outdoor recreation would be allowed; and all barbershops, salons, spas and health and fitness clubs would be allowed to open with capacity limits and IDPH-approved safety guidance.

Bars and restaurants, which are currently restricted to outdoor seating, carryout or delivery service, would be allowed to reopen with capacity limits and other safety guidelines.

Earlier on June 10, Illinois Senate Republicans sent a letter to Pritzker raising

concerns about the continued delay for some sectors of the economy as neighboring states reopen more quickly.

They requested the governor employ a 14-day timeline in measuring reopening metrics as opposed to the current 28day timeline, and they said current hospitalization and positivity rate trends demonstrate Illinois can move forward quicker.

“Illinois remains one of the most restrictive states in the nation,” the Republican senators wrote. “Illinois restaurants, unlike those in neighboring and Midwestern states, will still need to wait weeks before in-person dining could even be considered. Gyms in Illinois remain shuttered and pools are only open for limited activities.”

They asked the governor to accept their suggested changes that would have moved Illinois into Phase 4 on June 12.

The request came as the state’s metrics all continued to trend in a favorable direction in terms of containing the virus’ spread.

Still, Pritzker said the way phases were designed, including the 28-day periods, were so that the state could observe how the virus reacts as more people move further from their homes.

“So you might ask, ‘Well gee, can’t you speed everything up now that we’re doing better?’ ” the governor said. “… But the reason that we have phases is because as you reopen and move into a new phase, guess what,

you’re gonna get more cases, that’s the thinking.”

Pritzker pointed out that Phase 3 only began on May 29.

“We’re barely a couple of weeks in here and the incubation period is 14 days,” he said. “Don’t forget you don’t really see the bulk of hospitalizations till between 14 and 21 days after people engage with one another that have COVID-19 … So the idea here is to make sure that we don’t overwhelm the hospital system as we reopen.

But we are reopening as fast as we can and you’ve seen that I’ve made adjustments along the way, where the epidemiologists and the data indicate that we can open more, and not see an outbreak of cases.”

Celebrate African American history with virtual Juneteenth event Thursday In honor of the day when all enslaved African Americans were freed after the Civil War, College of Lake County (CLC) is hosting a virtual Juneteenth celebration on June 18 from 2 - 4 p.m. To create awareness and understanding of diversity, multiculturalism and social justice concerns, the college community will come together for a free Facebook Live program that is open to the public.

“History has been painted through the lens of those in power and we take back that power by celebrating mo-

“Juneteenth is black history and black history is American history. By celebrating with us, you acknowledge the true history of America. Who wouldn’t want to be a part of that?”

As a community college committed to equitable high-quality education, cultural enrichment and partnerships to advance the diverse communities it serves, CLC events

will evolve due to COVID-19 social distancing. Juneteenth speakers and performers will educate attendees about mental health in the Black community, voter registration and a history of the holiday.

“It is important our mission is not just something merely in writing, but in action,” said Christina Gardner, multicultural retention coordinator. “As an active member of the multicultural community at CLC, it is important we as college employees create an environment for our students to

Single vehicle crash results in death of 15 year old girl A 15-year-old Harvard girl has succumbed to injuries and died as a result of a single vehicle crash last week.

On June 8, 2020, at 2:39 p.m., the McHenry County Sheriff’s Office and Woodstock Fire Rescue District responded to a single vehicle crash involving a 2006 Mitsubishi Raider that had crashed in the 10500 block of Charles Road, east of Timberline Trail, in unincorporated Woodstock.

On scene investigation indicated the Mitsubishi had been traveling eastbound on Charles Road when it attempted to overtake several vehicles by passing in the westbound lane of traffic. For unknown reasons the Mitsubishi left roadway to the north, where

it struck a utility pole. React Helicopter flew the 15-year-old passenger to Children’s Hospital in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The 17-year-old driver was transported by ambulance to Northwestern Hospital in Woodstock. She was in good condition and was released from the hospital later that day.

It is unknown if the driver and passenger were wearing their seatbelts at the time of the crash and no airbags deployed. Drug and alcohol use is not suspected. That area of the roadway was closed for approximately five hours for the crash investigation and while ComEd completed repairs.

The investigation into the crash continues by the McHenry County Sheriff’s Office Major Crash Investigation Unit.

Suspect arrested in shooting death

On June 8, 2020, a suspect in the shooting death of Elliot Jones was arrested. During the investigation, Lake County Sheriff’s Detectives identified Donterrance M. Nixon, 22, of the 600 block of Lenox Avenue, Waukegan, as a person of interest.

The investigation revealed Nixon was an acquaintance of Jones. On May 29, 2020, Nixon and Jones spent Donterrance some time together during the day. The M. Nixon two went their separate ways in the evening but continued communicating via electronic message. Nixon offered to sell Jones marijuana, but really intended on robbing Jones.

At approximately 9:50 p.m., Nixon arrived at Jones’ residence and Jones walked to the vehicle where Nixon was seated. Nixon robbed Jones of the cash he was going to use to buy the marijuana. The driver of the vehicle began to drive away as Jones was attempting to open the car door, in an effort to retrieve his stolen money. An occupant in the vehicle then shot Jones.

Nixon, who planned and committed the robbery was arrested by Lake County Sheriff’s Detectives on June 8, 2020, at approximately 6:00PM. He had an active arrest warrant for violating the sexual offender registry and was arrested during a traffic stop at the intersection of Northfield Avenue and North McAree Road, Waukegan.

After presenting the facts and evidence, the Lake County State’s Attorney’s Office approved two counts of first degree murder for Nixon, for his involvement in the murder.

Nixon appeared at an initial court hearing Thursday, June 11 where his bond was set at $3,000,000. His next court date is July 1, 2020, at 9:00 a.m.

T he investigation remains ongoing.

From Lake County Sheriff’s Office regarding homicide investigation, May 30 press release On May 29, 2020, at approximately 9:50 p.m., Lake County Sheriff’s Deputies were dispatched to a residence in the 36900 block of North Grandwood Drive, Unincorporated Gurnee, for a report of a man shot. Sheriff’s deputies arrived at the scene and located a 21-year-old man, of the 36900 block of North Grandwood Drive, who sustained a gunshot wound.

The victim was unresponsive, and sheriff’s deputies attempted lifesaving efforts on him. Paramedics arrived and transported the victim to Advocate Condell Medical Center in Libertyville, where he was subsequently pronounced deceased.

Preliminary investigation shows the victim met with another person near the roadway, close to the victim’s residence. The person the victim met with then shot the victim. The offender fled from the scene following the shooting. The victim was likely acquainted with the offender and this was not a random act.

The Lake County Coroner’s Office responded to Advocate Condell Medical Center and is in the process of scheduling an autopsy on the victim.

The investigation continues by the Lake County Sheriff’s Office Criminal Investigations Division.
