Defending the environment for 50 years Fifty years ago a group of concerned people started an organization called Defenders of The Fox River. The group, soon joined by a new chapter in Crystal Lake, made it their mission to raise awareness about the importance of protecting our environment, and specifically at that time in answer to the threat of development of the Fox Valley Freeway. From a historical communication: “In October, 1969, the Defenders of the Fox River, Inc. was formed for the purposes stated on the enclosed sheet (*see below).

Its members include many talented and dedicated people from the Algonquin-Barrington area. In the course of the past three months, the Defenders have become well organized as an effective action group and have accomplished a great deal.

Many of us have expressed concern over the environmental problems threatening our area, and as a result a local branch of the Defenders is now being formed to represent the Crystal Lake-McHenry-Woodstock region. It is our belief that we will be more effective as part of a single strong organization than as one of a number of small weak groups.” *“To help bridge the gap between the natural sciences and the environmental planning professions.

“To aid in procuring and furnishing information and data to any agencies planning projects that conform to the basic criterion that ecology is the sensible guide to planning for man.

“To expend energy and effort in disseminating the principle that

highways, roads and other engineering works must reflect, in location and design, increased respect for the natural, ecological and social integrity of the landscape and the communities through which they pass.

“To offer resistance to planning based upon design, economic, engineering and transportation concepts that consider natural processes only coincidentally, partially or indirectly.

“To defend the position that certain kinds of lands, when left in or

are returned to their natural condition may be more valuable as natural space than as developed space – that open space should be reserved in advance of development on the basis of systematic ecological inventory.

“To help save natural beauty from being the victim of the bulldozer.

“To broaden the vision of citizens through education and to help make their voices heard in this, the most serious crisis of our times – the deterioration of our environment.

“To convey the urgency of this situation to public servants, elected officials and others making decisions that affect the quality of our environment.”

Thus began The McHenry County Defenders (today known as the Environmental Defenders of McHenry County), which formed from The Defenders of the Fox River and a group of concerned citizens in Woodstock called the McHenry County Environmental Council.

In addition to its office in Woodstock, the organization owns and operates two reused bookstores, The Green Spot and The Green Read, and owns eight acres of land on Dean Street in Woodstock, site of ongoing restoration projects.

The Environmental Defenders of McHenry County relies on passionate, motivated volunteers and members to help meet its mission and vision for a healthy environment in McHenry County. The Environmental Defenders is inclusive of all who wish to work together to make a positive impact on our environment and its future.

In addition to other special events throughout 2020, on March 8, The Environmental Defenders will hold a special 50th Anniversary Dinner with proceeds going toward student scholarships and internships.

Pullman car Pawnee comes to railway museum The Illinois Railway Museum (IRM) is pleased to announce that it has acquired the historic Pullman private car Pawnee. The car arrived at the museum on its own wheels on Thursday, Dec. 12.

This historic railroad car was built in 1930 and is the second-tolast traditional “heavyweight” private car ever built by the Pullman Company of Chicago. The museum is raising funds to cover the acquisition and transportation of this car to IRM as well as the long-term housing and restoration of the car (click here for more information).

The Pawnee was built for Harry Payne Bingham, a financier, sportsman, and philanthropist. Bingham’s father was the president of Standard Tool Company in Ohio.

His maternal grandfather was Henry Payne, U.S. senator from Ohio between 1885 and 1891, while his paternal grandfather was William Bingham, president of the Cleveland Iron Company. Harry Bingham lived in New York City and was an acquaintance of John D. Rockefeller and Henry Flagler, the latter a heavy investor in real estate in Florida.

Bingham ordered the Pawnee from Pullman for deluxe private transportation between New York City and Palm Beach in Florida.

Later on in the car’s life, after it was sold by the Bingham family, it was refurbished by Pullman as Western Union Telegraph Company number 100.

The Pawnee is in excellent and largely original condition. It will be a standout addition to the Illi-

nois Railway Museum’s collection of historic railway cars, representing the “last hurrah” of golden-age luxury rail travel by the moguls of industry and finance before the advent of the jet age. The museum intends to restore the Pawnee and operate the car on its demonstration railroad. Fundraising is underway to pay for the car’s transportation to IRM’s campus in Union. Click here to donate towards the preservation of this historic car.

It was built in 1930.

Cary Police Department cites scam reports In the past two months the Cary Police Department has received several reports from victims of various scams. In each incident, the victim(s) were impacted financially.

Due to this recent activity, the Cary Police Department wishes to remind residents of the importance of remaining vigilant while monitoring their personal finances, as well as remaining guarded to “fast cash” scenarios that typically seem too good to be true.

One scam offered a victim com-

pensation for acting as a secret shopper. The victim received a check and was instructed to purchase gift cards with a portion of the money. The victim was instructed to send the gift card access codes via email, and in exchange they could keep the remainder of the balance of the check. Once the check was deposited into the victim’s account, it was determined the check was fraudulent and the victim lost the money he used to purchase the gift cards.

Another incident involved a victim receiving an email which appeared to be a legitimate correspondence from an organization they were conducting business with. The email advised the victim there was a change in payment terms and instructed the victim to wire the funds instead of having a cashier’s check drafted. The email was fraudulent, and the funds were received by an unknown third party.

Other scams have involved the victim’s credit card and/or checking

account information being compromised. To avoid becoming a victim, regularly monitor your credit card activity and bank accounts.

Information regarding common scams can be found at the Illinois Attorney General’s website at www. illinoisattorneygeneral.gov, and also on the Federal Trade Commission’s website at www.consumer.ftc.gov.

Dispensaries report smooth rollout of legalized pot Despite minor glitches, first-day sales top $3.1 million

By Peter Hancock CAPITOL NEWS ILLINOIS

The first day of legal sales of recreational marijuana in Illinois went “extraordinarily well,” according to one industry representative, with total sales on Jan. 1 of nearly $3.2 million.

“I just cannot express the gratitude from the dispensary operators to our customers about their courtesy and civility and patience. It was really a lovely, very successful rollout, I think, on the first day,” Pamela Althoff, executive director of the Cannabis Business Association of Illinois, said in an interview Jan. 2.

On New Year’s Day, Illinois became the 11th state to allow legal sales of recreational marijuana to adults. As the clock ticked down to midnight on New Year’s Eve, many dispensaries were reporting long lines outside their stores, in some cases stretching around their block.

The much-anticipated event was made possible by passage of a new law during the 2019 legislative session, the Cannabis Regulation and Tax Act, which legalized the sale, possession and use of marijuana for people 21 and older.

Former state Sen. Toi Hutchinson, an architect of that law who now serves as Gov. J.B. Pritzker’s senior advisor for cannabis control, reported during a news conference Thursday that dispensaries across the state conducted 77,128 transactions on Jan. 1, with sales totaling more than

$3.1 million.

That happened despite a few snags on the opening day of sales, Althoff said.

First, she said, there were glitches in the software that dispensaries use at the point of sale, which contributed to long wait times. Previously, dispensaries were allowed to sell only to qualified medical patients, but now they must keep close track of both medical and recreational sales, which are taxed differently.

Adjustments made by the software company to address that change, Althoff said, caused a few problems.

“There were a few glitches, not everywhere, but in a few of the dispensaries,” she said. “… But my understanding is that they were rapidly corrected. But it did add to some of the wait times that people experienced.”

In addition, she said, many dispensary operators had made design changes to their stores to accommodate a larger retail clientele, but state officials had not yet inspected all of those changes and some dispensaries were unable to open for recreational sales on Jan. 1.

And then there were issues of supply. Under the new law, Althoff said, medical dispensaries, which were the first to receive licenses for recreational sales, are required to keep a 30-day supply of marijuana products for their medical customers, leaving only a limited amount of inventory available for recreational customers.

She said supply shortages are expected to continue until April or May, when cultivation centers that have been licensed to grow recreational marijuana reap their first crop.

Meanwhile, state officials remain busy implementing other parts of the bill. On Tuesday, Dec. 31, Pritzker issued 11,017 pardons that will lead to the expungement of records for people with low-level marijuana convictions. Eventually, Pritzker’s office said, more than 700,000 criminal records will be expunged under the new law.

Thursday, Jan. 2, marked the deadline for people to submit applications for the next wave of dispensary licenses. As many as 75 new licenses will be issued May 1, with priority being given to “social equity” applicants—people with previous marijuana convictions, their families and people from areas of the state with high crime or child poverty rates.

A share of the revenue the state receives from recreational marijuana sales is earmarked for the new “Restore, Reinvest, and Renew Program” to fund community projects in neighborhoods that, in Hutchinson’s words, “have been hardest hit by the war on drugs.”

Other revenue is earmarked for a Cannabis Business Development Fund that will provide grants and low-interest loans to social equity applicants to help pay part of the startup cost of launching a marijuana-related business.

U of I Extension winter sowing tips Winter-sowing is a cost-effective and low-maintenance way of starting plants for the garden. Creator of the winter-sowing method, Trudi Davidoff puts it in simple terms: starting plants outdoors, in winter.

“Winter-sowing works with nature to prepare seeds for growth by providing the proper conditions to begin germination. While this may sound complicated, the only supplies needed are a recycled container that allows light through, soil, and seeds,” says Nicole Flowers-Kimmerle, horticulture educator with University of Illinois Extension.

To begin, create your miniature greenhouse from recycled plastic containers. Milk jugs that allow light to penetrate work well. Experiment with the recyclable containers you have on hand.

Because the containers will collect snow and rain, add drainage holes in your mini-greenhouse. With a drill or utility knife, cut several holes into the bottom of the container. Cut around the milk jug below the bottom of the handle, without cutting the top of the container all the way off. Leave about a half an inch intact just below the handle. This section acts as a hinge to hold the container together.

Next, fill the bottom of the miniature greenhouse. Moisten the soil and allow it to drain. The soil should have a moisture level like a damp sponge.

Light and fluffy soil that drains well works best.

The container is now ready for

seeds. Small seeds can be left on top of the soil, however larger seeds require more attention Follow the instructions on the seed packet for planting depths of larger seeds. Make sure there is good contact between the seed and the soil. Replace the lid and secure with duct tape. Label the container with the date and the type of seed planted. Your small greenhouse container is ready to go outdoors. While the mini-greenhouses should receive sunlight and have exposure to rain and snow, they should be placed in an area that is safe from strong winds The temperature variation prepares the seeds for germination at the proper time. When the days begin to warm, seedlings will emerge.

After emergence, open the container on sunny days, but close it at dusk to protect the seedlings from cold night temperatures. The seedlings naturally harden off and can be transplanted when soil temperatures reach proper

levels. Cut flaps along the side of the miniature greenhouse to slide seedlings out. Divide the clump into pieces and plant as you would a store variety.

Wait to begin winter-sowing until now or February. If there is a warm spell, the seeds can germinate, but won’t be hardy enough to survive when temperatures fall.

“Do your homework when choosing seeds,” Flowers-Kimmerle says.

“Frost-tolerant flowers and vegetables such as petunias, cosmos, kale, broccoli, spinach, and Brussels sprouts successfully withstand the cold temperatures of early winter.

Frost-sensitive species such as zinnias, tomatoes, and squash need to wait until the warmer temperatures of March or April before sowing using this method.”

Winter sown seedlings grow into healthy, sturdy plants. Plants will be ready to thrive in the garden when spring arrives.

David Freeman receives 11-year sentence for assaulting a minor Patrick D. Kenneally, McHenry County state’s attorney, announced on Dec. 23 that 29-year-old David Freeman, formerly of Bloomington, was sentenced to 11 years in the Illinois Department of Corrections for the offense of Predatory Criminal Sexual Assault of a Child, to be followed by a three-year to natural life period of mandatory supervised release by the Honorable Judge Robert Wilbrandt on Dec. 23, 2019.

Historical society scholarship application available Applications are being accepted by the McHenry County Historical Society & Museum for its annual Nancy Fike Scholarship.

Named in honor of the society’s former administrator, MCHS awards a $1,000 scholarship to a graduating senior from a McHenry County high school who plans to study education, history, or the social sciences. This merit-based scholarship will be given in the winning student’s name to his or her college /university.

Applicants must have a minimum 3.0 GPA, provide two letters of recommendation (one from a faculty member and one from another representative of the community), show proof of community service and write a minimum 500-word essay relevant to McHenry County.

Essay topics will be announced each year by the Society.

Applications, available online at GotHistory.org, must be submitted

by April 10.

This year’s topic is based on: This April marks the 50th anniversary of Earth Day. On April 22, 1970, 20 million Americans - 10 percent of the population at the time took to the streets, high school and college campuses, and hundreds of cities to advocate for the protection of our planet. The first Earth Day is credited with launching the modern environmental movement.

A half-century later it is worth evaluating how far this movement has come, where it has fallen short, and where it is headed. Students, such as Greta Thunberg of Sweden, have taken the lead in demanding new environmental action on issues such as global warming, over-reliance on fossil fuels, degradation of ground water, and urban sprawl. This is particularly true here in McHenry County, where ecotourism and agriculture can be at odds with economic development and the promise of new jobs.

Analyze some of the environmental challenges still facing our county and state. How have our towns and county dealt with environmental issues previously? What should we be prepared to do in terms of conservation and stewardship, and what are the tradeoffs?

What sacrifices can we realistically make to protect our planet? If applicable, what are you and your school doing to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Earth Day? Essays will be judged on content, grammar, historical accuracy, originality and their bibliography (students are expected to cite their sources). In some cases, interviewing a person(s) about the topic is advised. Smart phones are no substitute for smart people.

B-Truck license plates being replaced, redesigned Secretary of State Jesse White announced his office is launching a cost-efficient B-Truck license plate replacement program beginning this month to replace the oldest B-Truck license plates. These newly-designed plates will be no additional cost to Illinois taxpayers. The replacement program for passenger plates began in January 2017, and thus far, 2 million passenger plates have been replaced.

The purpose of the program is to ensure – now and in the future – that older passenger and B-Truck license plates on Illinois roads are replaced.

License plates’ reflectivity diminishes with age, which impacts the ability of law enforcement to quickly and accurately identify license plate numbers.

“This is a forward-thinking, longterm solution that does not require a complete replating overhaul for passenger and B-Truck plates, which would cost around $60 million,” said White. “This plan removes older plates

and replaces them with newly-designed plates within our current budget. This will ensure that no license plate on the road will be more than 10 years old.”

Under the program, the oldest license plates will be replaced first. In 2020, B-Truck plates that were manufactured from 2002 through 2007 will be replaced. In 2021, B-Truck plates that were manufactured from 2008 through 2009 will be replaced. Each year, the office will continue to replace older license plates with newly issued plates. The process will be continuous, and plates will be replaced on a 10-year cycle with a new plate design created every 10 years.

“There are approximately 1.3 million B-truck vehicle owners and 8 million passenger vehicle owners in Illinois,” said White.

Vehicle owners will be notified by mail if they qualify for the new license plates. When they renew their vehicle registration, they will be provided with

a sticker with a “T” on it to affix to the rear license plate of their vehicle. Within 60 days they will receive their newly-designed license plates in the mail with a new registration sticker already affixed to the rear license plate.

Owners are encouraged to recycle their old plates by taking them to a Secretary of State facility and disposing them in the tamper-proof bins.

Motorists who do not yet qualify for replacement plates may still request a new license plate at www.cyberdriveillinois.com for a replacement fee of $29. In addition, vehicle owners with license plates that are showing signs of wear and are difficult to read may visit www.cyberdriveillinois.com to apply for a newly-designed plate at no charge.

Vehicle owners may renew their vehicle registration by visiting a Secretary of State facility, going online at www.cyberdriveillinois.com, by mail or by calling 800-252-8980.

Profits in the billions from human trafficking January is Human Trafficking Awareness Month. This is an opportunity to educate the community about human trafficking, a crime that forcefully exploits women, men and children.

Human trafficking involves transporting someone into a situation of exploitation. This can include forced labor, marriage, prostitution and organ removal. This kind of exploitation is known by a few different names, such as human trafficking, trafficking of persons, and modern slavery.

It’s estimated that internationally there are between 20 million and 40 million people in modern slavery today. Assessing the full scope of human trafficking is difficult because cases so often go undetected, something the United Nations refers to as “the hidden figure of crime.” Estimates suggest that internationally only about .04 percent of survivors of human trafficking cases are identified, meaning that the vast majority of cases of human trafficking go undetected.

Human trafficking earns global profits of roughly $150 billion a year for traffickers, $99 billion of which comes from commercial sexual exploitation. Globally, an estimated 71 percent of enslaved people are women and girls, while men and boys account for 29 percent.

Estimates suggest that about 50,000 people are trafficked into the US each year, most often from Mexico and the Philippines.

In 2018, over half (51.6 percent) of the criminal human trafficking cases active in the U.S. were sex trafficking cases involving only children. Reports indicate that a large number of child sex trafficking survivors in the U.S. were at one

time in the foster care system and/ or a victim of domestic violence.

Advocates report a growing trend of traffickers using online social media platforms to recruit and Sgt. Scott Sullivan advertise targets of human trafficking. The average age someone enters the sex trade in the US is 12 to 14 years old. Many victims are runaway girls who were sexually abused as children.

Understanding this issue is the first step in stopping it. It is important to remember that people of all ages, genders, races and socioeconomic backgrounds can fall prey to human trafficking.

Traffickers are operating in both rural and urban settings, in our schools, businesses and tourist areas.

Trafficking cases have been reported across Illinois and no community is immune — including Huntley.

The Huntley Police Department is an active member of the McHenry County State’s Attorney’s Office’s Taskforce to address this expansive problem throughout the county. If you have any questions, please contact local law enforcement.

Huntley Safety 1st is the monthly education series written by the staff of the Huntley Police Department.

This information is from Sgt. Scott Sullivan. On the first of each month, the department provides citizens with information on a different public safety related issue. Visit www.huntley.il.us/departments/ police/huntley_safety_1st.php for more information.

I3141970 (Published in the McHenry County News Jan. 16, 23 & 30, 2020)

On Monday, Jan. 6, Patrick D. Kenneally, state’s attorney of McHenry County, filed a petition to vacate and expunge certain cannabis convictions pursuant to the newly enacted Cannabis Regulation and Tax Act (HB 1438), which was signed into law by Gov. JB Pritzker on June 25, 2019.

The Act, which not only legalizes recreational cannabis use and sales, compels the Illinois State Police, Prisoner Review Board, and Illinois Attorney General to identify and expunge certain cannabis offense records, arrests, charges, and/or convictions.

These expungements will be automatic for certain offenses (misdemeanors) while the Illinois State’s Attorney’s Offices will be able to object to the felony offenses, if warranted.

A provision in the newly modified expungement statute, 20 ILCS 2630/5.2(i)(4), gives. Kenneally authority to expedite the expungement process by filing a motion to vacate and expunge eligible offenses.

While the statute gives authority to expunge class 4 felony and misdemeanor cannabis delivery offenses, Kenneally will only be filing a motion to vacate and expunge simple cannabis possession misdemeanors that are not associated with felony charges or offenses outlined by the Rights of Crime Victims and Witnesses Act. In sum, the State’s Attorney’s Office will be seeking to vacate and expunge 1,877 low level misdemeanor convictions that redressed conduct which is now legal.

Kenneally stated, “[t]hough the McHenry County State’s Attorney’s Office considers most of the provisions of the Cannabis Regulation and Tax Act, especially those pertaining to the legalization and commercialization of marijuana, to be deeply flawed and unwarranted, a serious public health risk, and a safety risk 365099 that will undoubtedly result in more deaths on our roadways, we do not necessarily object to expunging a defendant’s minor criminal convictions after a reasonable period of time.

Moreover, we regard it as our duty to zealously enforce and effectuate the purposes of the duly enacted laws of Illinois irrespective of our own reservations and those of law enforcement more broadly.”

The motion was filed with the McHenry County Circuit Court and assigned to the Chief Judge of McHenry County, the Honorable James Cowlin, who signed an order and allowed the expungements. All defendants who have had their offenses expunged will be notified by the McHenry County Circuit Clerk’s Office by mail.
