MCHS students dive into ocean study with Adopt-A-Float program

Surrounded by great prairies as well as great lakes, McHenry may not be the first place you’d expect to find complicated ocean study. But that’s exactly what high school environmental science students are doing, thanks to an Adopt-A-Float program meant to measure the health of global oceans.

Early in May, McHenry Community High School’s very own float was dropped into the Atlantic Ocean somewhere between Greenland and Africa. Every 10 days it will surface and share data from its deep dives with the GO-BGC program and McHenry students.

Tim Beagle, science division chair for McHenry Community High School, said he saw the float as a great opportunity to bring the ocean into the classroom.

“Because we don’t live near the ocean, we don’t have that much experience with it,” Beagle said.

Beagle said he’s hoping to not only have students study data from the float, but also incorporate it into the curriculum through possible web meetings with scientists and other activities.

On a yearly basis, the environmental science students will use not only our school float, but data from other schools to collaboratively study changes in ocean chemistry latitudinally through the ocean. That information will help students understand patterns and changes in the world’s oceans. Students will have the opportunity to connect as “citizen scientists” with other students across the country, as well as with the scientists from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)

Dr. George I. Matsumoto, senior education and research specialist for the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute – one of several organizations involved in the Adopt-A-Float program – said he’s excited to offer students a chance to share in the project. This project, named GO-BGC (Global Ocean Biogeochemistry Array) follows a similar program in the southern ocean surrounding Antarctica.

This project came about through a $52 million grant from the National Science Foundation to Matsurmoto’s agency and several others, including NOAA. Ultimately, it involves deploying 500 floats that cost $100,000 a piece.

“It’s been a fun project, and students are enjoying it,” Matsumoto said.

Mosquitoes test positive for West Nile Virus in Lake County

Mosquito “pools” (batches of mosquitoes) sampled on June 27, 2023 in Bannockburn, Lake Villa, and Vernon Hills have tested positive for West Nile virus. These mosquito pools are the first confirmed indicators of West Nile virus presence in Lake County in 2023.

“We expect mosquitoes every summer, but it is important to remember that they can also carry diseases like West Nile Virus,” said Mark Pfister, Executive Director of the Lake County Health Department and Community Health Center. “By learning to ‘Fight the Bite’, we can protect ourselves and our families from a potentially deadly disease.” Practice the “4 Ds of Defense” to protect yourself and your family from mosquitoes:

• Drain: Drain standing water from items around your home, yard, and business.

• Dress: Wear long sleeves, pants, and closed toe shoes when outdoors to cover your skin.

Culex pipiens mosquitoes, which are the primary carriers of West Nile virus, are most abundant when the weather is hot. Residents can help prevent these mosquitoes from breeding by eliminating areas of stagnant water from their properties. Items like buckets, gutters and plant containers, kiddie pools, and any other items holding water around homes and businesses can become breeding sites.

Lake County Health Department. “The years with the most cases of West Nile virus have often been during hot, dry summers.”

In 2022, 81 mosquito pools tested positive for West Nile virus. Since 2002, there have been 79 confirmed human cases of West Nile virus in Lake County, as well as four confirmed deaths.

Students from MCHS are studying data from their float that surfaces every

temperature of the oceans for many years but the Adopt-A-Float program builds on that by also measuring oxygen, pH, chlorophyll and nitrate. After providing baseline data, scientists can track changes over time.

Matsumoto said he hopes bringing the program to schools will show students that you don’t have to be a scientist to study the ocean, and that there are many different vocations that can have an impact in improving the planet, such as engineers and machinists.

Also, Matsumoto is hoping that students will see that failure is part of the learning process. Pressure issues with putting the floats in the water has caused some problems for scientists, such as at least one float imploding years ago.

“Failure is part of everyday life,” he said. “It’s OK to make mistakes as long as you learn from them.”

• Defend: When outdoors, use an insect repellent containing DEET, picaridin, oil of lemon eucalyptus, 2-undecanone, or IR3535 and reapply according to label directions.

• Dawn and Dusk: Protect yourself all day and night, and wear repellent outdoors during these prime times for mosquito activity.

The Lake County Health Department’s Mosquito Surveillance Program coordinates mosquito trapping results throughout Lake County. Mosquitoes are tested weekly for West Nile virus. The program also monitors reports of dead birds (an early sign of the presence of the virus) and investigates areas of stagnant water for the presence of mosquito larvae, specifically from the Culex mosquito, which is the primary carrier of West Nile in Illinois.

“While the hot, dry weather results in fewer mosquitoes overall, the Culex mosquitoes that cause West Nile virus are still present,” said Alana Bartolai, Ecological Services Program Coordinator at the

Most people infected with West Nile virus have no symptoms of illness. However, some may become ill usually 3 to 15 days after the bite of an infected mosquito. Common symptoms include fever, nausea, headache and muscle ache. In some individuals, severe illness including meningitis or encephalitis, or even death, can occur. People older than 50 and individuals with weakened immune systems are at higher risk for severe illness from West Nile virus.

Find more prevention tips and information on West Nile virus at www.FightTheBiteNow.com. Residents can also call the Health Department’s West Nile hotline to report areas of stagnant water, report locations of dead birds, and obtain more information on the signs and symptoms of West Nile virus.

The West Nile hotline number is (847) 377-8300.

Lake County State’s Attorney’s training focuses on how ‘red flag’ laws increase community safety

On June 26, over 60 law enforcement officers, school administrators, attorneys, and mental health professionals attended a training that focused on Illinois’s “red flag laws” that keep firearms away from dangerous individuals. The training was hosted by the Lake County State’s Attorney at the College of Lake County (CLC), in Grayslake and included presentations from the Illinois State Police (ISP), Lake County State’s Attorney’s Civil Division, and the Lake County Health Department (LCHD).

The training began with Lake County State’s Attorney Eric Rinehart welcoming the attendees, emphasizing the work that law enforcement and others perform to protect our society and how the increased use of the “red flag system” can prevent suicides, homicides, and mass shootings.

Mr. Rinehart stated, “This training is about making a difference. We have too many guns in our society, too much domestic violence, and too many people who need mental health treatment. We want to make sure that law enforcement, medical professionals, and education leaders are aware of the tools they have in order to continue keeping our community safe.”

Elizabeth Leahy is ISP’s Firearms Safety Counsel, and heads the Director’s Office of Firearms Safety and presented on the Firearm Owner ID (FOID) Act of Illinois, focusing on Clear & Present Danger laws (C&PD), and how police, school administrators, and healthcare professionals can report dangerous individuals to the ISP and to the Illinois Department of Human Services (IDHS). After ISP receives a report, such as a C&PD report, ISP reviews the information and if the C&PD is affirmed, the individual’s FOID card is quickly revoked. Acting Master Sgt. Zack Kettelkamp explained how any police officer or school administrator can quickly use ISP’s Online Law Enforcement Portal to report dangerous individuals.

Leahy also discussed the FOID

Church rummage set for July 20-22

St. Peter’s Church in Spring Grove is hosting a rummage sale from July 20-22.

The sale will be held in the parish hall, classrooms and under canopies outside. Items will range from antiques, clothes, household items, outdoor equipment and much more.

Sale hours are: Thursday, July 20 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Friday, July 21 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. (most items half price), and Saturday, July 22 from 8-11 a.m. (fill a bag for $5 on most items).

St. Peter’s Church is located at 2118 Main St., Spring Grove.

application process and how ISP conducts background checks on individuals seeking a FOID. After a FOID has been issued, a criminal conviction, C&PD reports, and mental health hospitalizations can lead to the revocation of FOID cards.

Leahy further explained how law enforcement officers and members of the public can seek a Firearm Restraining Order (FRO) which is a temporary court order issued by a judge that removes firearms from individuals exhibiting dangerous behavior. Currently, family members and law enforcement can seek FROs by coming to any county courthouse. Leahy and Rinehart also explained how judges can further restrict access to firearms if an individual is charged with a crime or is the subject of a domestic order of protection. (The FRO and C&PD procedures do not require a pending criminal case.)

Leahy’s presentation included statistics that demonstrated a large increase of C&PD reports as awareness has increased. In 2022, ISP received a total of 6,980 C&PD reports with most being from law enforcement officers and the others being from school administrators and healthcare professionals. These 2022 requests almost doubled the 2021 number.

The training also included a presentation from Lake County State’s Attorney’s Civil Division Attorney Jamie Helton, that focused on the legal process for involuntarily hospitalizing individuals who are suffering from a severe mental health crisis. Helton emphasized that police are allowed to take individuals into custody if they are a threat to others and have “reasonable grounds” to believe they would be hospitalized by court order.

The training ended with personnel from the Lake County Mental Health Department explaining the new “988” and Mobile Crisis Team programs that allows anyone in Lake County to seek assistance with mental health crises 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

State’s ‘rainy day’ fund hits record-high balance ahead of new fiscal year

Self-described ‘party pooper’ comptroller eyes socking away even more in coming years

By Hannah Meisel CAPITOL NEWS ILLINOIS

There were no champagne toasts or fireworks, but when the clock struck 12 a.m. on Saturday, July 1, it marked the start of a new year in Illinois—a new fiscal year, that is.

And just as a new year is a time to contemplate recent accomplishments and make resolutions for the future, Illinois Comptroller Susana Mendoza is ringing in fiscal year 2024 by celebrating a record-high $1.94 billion in Illinois’ “rainy day” fund and setting her sights on doubling that figure in the next decade. “$2 billion sounds like a lot of money, certainly in contrast to $48,000,” Mendoza said in an interview, citing one of her most frequently repeated stories about the fund’s balance in August 2018—when the state was still recovering from a two-year budget impasse between Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner and Democrats in the General Assembly.

The paltry sum would have only funded state government operations for 30 seconds, Mendoza estimates.

In contrast, nearly $2 billion “gives us about 10 days’ worth of operating reserves for our state,” she said.

But despite achieving that high-water mark—and celebrating Illinois’ eight recent credit ratings upgrades from the three major finance agencies that determine public and private creditworthiness— Mendoza joked that it’s her job to be the “party pooper” or “Debbie Downer” of state government.

“The majority of states in our country have about 40 days’ or more worth of reserves for their state operation,” she said. “So we’re doing great, but we have a far path yet to trek through.”

While Mendoza would

love to someday get Illinois to the same roughly 40 days of reserves that 26 states have socked away, she’d settle for 20—which would be roughly 8 percent of Illinois’ operating budget for a given year.

She said that’s what the major credit ratings agencies have advised if Illinois is to receive future credit upgrades.

Mendoza has been pushing legislation to mandate that lawmakers put more into the state’s rainy day and pension stabilization funds during strong fiscal years, but it has never received a vote in either chamber of the General Assembly despite clearing a House committee unanimously. The comptroller said she plans to reintroduce the bill through her allies in the General Assembly.

“There is no good reason to not move forward with this legislation,” Mendoza said, adding that credit ratings agencies haven’t forgotten about Illinois’ reputation of not “being a good fiscal steward year after year after year.” She boasted that Democratic leadership—including her, Gov. JB Pritzker and the Democratically controlled General Assembly—has helped right Illinois’ fiscal ship in the last several years.

“However, governors change. Legislatures change,” she said. “This is the time to do it. I don’t see any good reason to, to delay it any further.”

Mendoza said lawmakers should be able to increase the rainy day fund’s balance to 8 percent of Illinois’ budget in the next 10 to 15 years regardless of whether her bill requiring greater contributions becomes law.

From there, she said, Illinois should focus on paying down its unfunded pension liabilities, which stood at $139.7 billion at the end of Fiscal Year 2022. The most

current figure will be made public in the coming months.

Unfunded pension liabilities would never come due at the same time; pension payments are doled out monthly when state workers retire, while the state pays into its five pension systems twice per year.

Mendoza rejected the “crisis” label often ascribed to the pension issue, but she said it’s not a problem to be ignored.

Paying more into the pension systems now will negate the piling up of interest costs in the future, reducing the crowding out of services that money could otherwise be used to fund, she said. Mendoza pointed to the $700 million above the minimum required amount that the state has paid into its pension systems in recent fiscal years, which she said will save Illinois “about $2.4 billion on the back end.” “And the more we do that, the quicker we’re going to get out of this hole,” she said.

That’s why Mendoza said her proposed legislation targets the pension stabilization fund as well as the rainy day fund.

“It’s not sexy,” she said. “There’s no ribbon cutting with saving money, but I think it’s the best and most incredible use of taxpayer dollars to actually protect our budgets… the moral document that we’re going to live off of that year.” Mendoza earlier this year had advised Pritzker and lawmakers to not start any new state programs in the coming year’s budget. But she said she was happy with this year’s budget “for the most part,” despite new spending in areas like child care, pre-K programs and higher education.

“All of those spending initiatives, which are big ticket items, are all going to produce a good return on investment for taxpayers,” she said.

Four charged in separate reckless shooting incidents

Lake County Sheriff’s Deputies arrested four people for recklessly firing firearms in two separate instances on July 3.

At approximately 2:20 p.m., sheriff’s deputies responded to a residence in the 28700 block of North Madison Avenue, Unincorporated Wauconda, for a report of shots fired. The victim reported he was outside on the back porch, with his wife, when a bullet nearly struck him in the head. The bullet missed him, and struck a sliding glass door to his home, which shattered the door Sheriff’s deputies arrived and began investigating. Based on the trajectory of the bullet, they checked an area to the west. Sheriff’s deputies located a vacant property in the 28200 block of Garland Drive, Unincorporated Wauconda, where they saw eight pistols and a rifle on a table in a grassy area on the property. Three individuals were located at the property Further investigation revealed the three were shooting the guns toward the east, toward the back of the property. One of the rounds they fired was the round that almost struck the victim.

be at the property.

Later in the day, at approximately 10:00 p.m., sheriff’s deputies responded to a dock in the 19300 block of West Forest Lane, Unincorporated Mundelein for a report of shots fired. A 911 caller said a woman was shooting toward an occupied boat on Diamond Lake from the dock.

Omar Macias Kristy A. Shibli

Further investigation revealed the victim and five passengers on his boat were on Diamond Lake. A woman, later identified as Kristy A. Shibli, 46, of the 19200 block of West Fairview Drive, Unincorporated Mundelein, shot several rounds toward the boat. Nobody was struck by the gunfire.

It was determined Shibli was firing into the lake for fun. It appears she believed the sound of fireworks being set off in the area would mask the sound of her gunfire.

Shibli was arrested and after reviewing the facts and the circumstances of the incident, the Lake County State’s Attorney’s Office approved the charge of ‘Reckless Discharge of a Firearm’ (class 4 felony).

The Lake County Sheriff’s Dept. reported the following arrests in Lake County. Suspects are considered innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

Evidence of alcohol consumption was located at the scene. The vacant property is owned by an employer of one of the three arrested. Further investigation is being conducted to see if they had permission to

Shibli remains held in the Lake County Jail on $50,000 bail.

All of the firearms in these cases were seized and notification is being made to the Illinois State Police about the incidents. The State Police will make a determination about the FOID Card/CCL status of everyone involved in the incidents.

Sheriff John D. Idleburg said, “Both of these instances involved incredibly reckless acts, and undoubtedly could have resulted in innocent people being shot. The offenders charged in these cases acted completely irresponsible and without any regard for the safety of others. I am grateful nobody was injured or killed, and I am proud of our deputies for swiftly locating and arresting the offenders in both cases.”
