Big Idea contest offers up to $1,000 prize for students College of Lake County students will present their creative, leading-edge ideas for products or services in CLC’s fourth annual Big Idea contest and awards ceremony from 7-9 p.m. Monday, April 15 at the Grayslake Campus. The public is welcome to attend. The competition is designed to foster entrepreneurship, innovation and partnership with local businesses, according to Patty Clark, CLC business professor and main organizer of the event. In a format similar to ABC-TV’s popular “Shark Tank” program, the students will pitch their ideas to a panel of five judges with entrepreneurial expertise. The locally-based panel includes a patent attorney and members of the college’s business administration advisory committee. Other panelists include a representative from The Hub, an entrepreneurial support program of the nonprofit Greater Waukegan Development Coalition, and a representative from CLC’s Small Business Development Center. Students were given a deadline of March 17 to submit a two- to threeminute video summarizing
their idea to solve a problem, harness an opportunity or change the world. No financials or business plans were required. From the submissions, the $1,000 grand prize will be awarded to the first-place winner, with $500 for second place and $250 for the third-place finisher. “We are excited about the range of new products, services and social entrepreneurship ideas this year. It shows how creative CLC students are,” said Clark, noting that entries have come from students majoring in several fields, including computer science, engineering, business, communications and economics. “We are also excited this year to be able to collaborate on Big Idea with sponsor Suzy’s Swirl Company (a Lake Bluffbased frozen yogurt/treat shop), students from our Entrepreneurship (BUS 131) course, our student Business Club and CLC’s Baxter Innovation Lab.” Edith Perez, a digital media and design major who took third place in last year’s competition, said the experience helped her polish her writing and presentation skills.

proposed a security system composed of networked, portable tracking devices that use cellular and GPS satellites to provide accurate location information during emergencies. Perez, who has since been focusing on her courses and a 2019 CLC graduation rather than refining her idea, said she is nevertheless grateful for the college promoting entrepreneurship. “All the innovations that improve and positively impact our lives start with a person
thinking about a solution to address a problem,” said Perez, a Lake Villa resident. “I’m happy that CLC has the Big Idea competition to encourage entrepreneurship while we’re still in school. It provides an alternative platform for students to grow their business ideas and build their confidence as well as communication skills, all of which are valuable when we join the workforce.” For more information on the Big Idea competition, visit www.clcillinois.edu/

Antioch man guilty of enticing underage girls
An Antioch man pleaded guilty last week to federal criminal charges for enticing underage girls to engage in sex acts with him. Casey Ireland, 36, pleaded guilty to one count of enticement of a minor to engage in criminal sexual activity, and one count of attempted enticement of a minor to engage in criminal sexual activity. Each count carries a mandatory minimum sentence of ten years in prison, and a maximum sentence of life in prison. U.S. District Judge Rebecca R. Pallmeyer set sentencing for June 24, 2019, at 11:30 a.m. The guilty plea was announced by John R. Lausch, Jr., United States Attorney for the Northern District of Illinois; and Leo Lamont, Special Agent-in-Charge of the Naval Criminal Investigative Service, Resident Agency Great Lakes. Valuable assistance was provided by the Antioch Police Department and law enforcement authorities in Wisconsin. The government is represented by Assistant U.S. Attorney A.J. Dixon. Ireland admitted in a plea agreement that in the spring of 2017 he had sex with two 15-year-old girls from Wisconsin. Ireland began
