Speaker series begins Jan. 26 at McHenry County College McHenry County College (MCC) announces an exciting speaker series hosted by its new Center for Agrarian Learning, called “Forefront: Ideas in Food and Farming.”

The series features innovative thinkers and doers in the food and farm economy, and is an opportunity for farmers, land owners, chefs, local food enthusiasts and others interested in the food economy to dive deep into the how and why of food production.

The series kicks off on Sunday, Jan. 26, at 10 a.m. with “Lean Farming,” an exploration of tips that lean

farming expert Ben Hartman uses to earn a comfortable living farming on less than one acre of land. Attendees will review principles of organization and learn how to implement a process of continuous improvement to achieve success in productions of any size.

The morning session is free to attend. An immersive workshop geared toward market growers will follow the morning session from noon to 4:30 p.m., and will explore in-depth lean farming concepts related to soil building, compost-making, greenhouse construction, and

CBD hemp production. The handson, in-depth workshop costs $59 to attend.

Upcoming sessions include “Rotational Grazing” on Feb. 23; “Whole Grain Revolution” on March 29; and “Soil Sisters: How Women Transform Our Food System” on April 26.

MCC’s Center for Agrarian Learning launched in 2019 as a resource hub designed to connect growers to the people and ideas they need to succeed via noncredit classes, seminars, and technical assistance.

“By exploring the challenges facing local farmers, food-based businesses, and agricultural entrepreneurs, we’re able to deliver tangible solutions in the form of training,” said Sheri Doyel, director of the Center for Agrarian Learning.

“Providing easy access to the latest technologies, tips, and tools in the industry will support the vital agricultural businesses in our community and help them to stay ahead of the curve.”

In addition to the Center for Agrarian Learning, the college will soon be launching a degree in Entrepreneurial Agriculture, which will help aspiring students or existing agricultural business owners learn

the skills they’ll need to grow a successful business.

“Agriculture plays an extremely important role within McHenry County,” said Dr. Clint Gabbard, president of MCC. “This resource allows us to deliver quality education to agricultural entrepreneurs in our community and provide a platform for engagement across the food and farming spectrum.”

All Forefront sessions will be held in the Luecht Auditorium at McHenry County College in Crystal Lake. Speaker sessions are free and open to the public. To register and learn more about all upcoming presentations, visit www.mchenry.edu/ forefront.

The 3rd Conservation Congress of McHenry County calls together an assemblage of thoughtful leaders and influencers to offer insight, opinions, and solutions to critical issues of importance to conservation today.

The Conservation Congress provides both delegates and the community a formal process to propose and advocate for actions that can be taken by the McHenry County Conservation Richard Louv District to protect and conserve our natural resources, and provide compatible education and recreational opportunities on public lands in McHenry County.

Today, too many people are growing up without a strong connection to nature. If we can reach more people and get them involved in environmental education and outdoor recreation opportunities we can improve the lives and lifestyles of more residents—and in turn, protect our water, wildlife and way of life for current and future generations.

If the legacy of public lands bequeathed to us is to continue for the next 50 years and beyond, all interest groups within the county need to come together to speak with one voice. The McHenry County Conservation Congress offers that opportunity.

New This Year: Next Generation Insight-Youth Delegation; Public Invited to Join the Conversation; Code: 6399 R/$20, NR/ $30 Includes lunch.

Last day for standard registration: Feb 5. Last day for Internet registration: Feb 5.

G1305 2C AS DEFINED AND SET FOR IN SAID DECLARATION AND SURVEY, IN MCHENRY COUNTY, ILLINOIS.

The sale is further subject to confirmation by the court.

Upon payment in full of the amount bid, the purchaser will

the giant electric utility in a political vice grip at a period the company was desperate to save its nuclear plants and increase consumer rates.

ComEd gave lots of good jobs to lobbyists and former legislators, possibly in return for favorable treatment on rates and the saving of its nuclear power plants, worth hundreds of millions of dollars to the giant company.

Some time ago, an insider friend of mine wondered out loud to his friend Speaker Mike Madigan about the propriety of so many legislators becoming well-paid lobbyists after they stepped down from public office. Madigan replied, “Jimmy (not his real name), what else will they do? These are the best jobs they will ever have.”

It’s the money, stupid.

When I was a backbench legislator half a century ago, there were no regulations about campaign contributions and lobbying expenditures. There was an old observation then about money and votes, maybe true: If a lawmaker’s suit jacket side-pocket flaps were out, he wouldn’t take any money, but if they were in, and greenbacks could easily be slipped in, he was open for business. And lots of flaps were in.

As a result of years-long efforts by good government advocates such as Cindy Canary, Kent Redfield and others, Illinois now has some of the most detailed campaign and lobbying disclosure requirements in the nation. Campaign committees must file detailed quarterly reports of their receipts and expenditures.

Lobbyists are also limited, for example, to $75 per day per legislator for dining after session days, all of which is reported, down to the penny.

This sunshine constrains, but apparently doesn’t eliminate, the temptation to seek personal gain from politics. Since 1976, about when we started imposing regulations and limitations, 2,000 people in Illinois have been convicted of public corruption, one of the worst records among the states.

As many of us scribblers have written, Illinois appears to have a culture of corruption. That is, if you have the opportunity to get your youngster’s DUI fixed, or to get some inside help passing

a tough state licensure exam, many of us tend of take advantage of the opportunity. And money is generally involved in the transaction somewhere along the way. I’m also confident many of us contribute money to elected officials as an “insurance policy” that could prove beneficial when we might later need some help dealing with government.

How do we reduce further the role of money and of insider dealing in Illinois politics?

One of my insider friends says any such effort is ridiculous: “It’s like kids trying to stop the flow of a creek. The water will ultimately find another route downstream.”

Others, however, came up with these suggestions, which seem reasonable to me: • Prohibit former legislators, legislative staffers and executive branch officials from registering as paid lobbyists for two years after leaving state government. (By the way, this should be done in the federal government as well, where up to half of former congressmen stay in D.C. to become lobbyists.

There is a weak prohibition now in D.C., easily evaded.) If people seek public office thinking they can use their experience to feather their nests later, democracy is badly tainted.

• Prohibit campaign fundraisers in Springfield for the period of one week preceding the start of a legislative session and until adjournment.

• Prohibit direct campaign contributions by corporations, businesses and unions, as the federal government does.

• Prohibit lawmakers and their campaign committees from soliciting campaign contributions during legislative session periods, to eliminate any appearances of possible “dealing.”

We’re all “lobbyists,” and there’s nothing improper about it. It’s the increasing amounts of money sloshing around, creating temptation, that needs to be regulated somehow.
