Missing Woodstock woman identified

Illinois State Police (ISP) officials have announced the positive identification of the body of Benedetta “Beth” Bentley. The human remains, located on Dec. 4, 2017, in rural Jefferson County, have been positively identified.

On May 23, 2010, a friend reportedly dropped off Beth Bentley at an Amtrak Station in Centralia, Ill. Bentley was reportedly taking a train back to her home located in Woodstock, Ill. Bentley did not return home and was reported missing. Information was developed which led the ISP to a rural location in Jefferson County where suspected human remains were recovered at the location.

The results of the joint investigation conducted by the ISP Zone 7 Investigations, ISP Zone 1 Investigations and Woodstock Police Department (WPD) have been forwarded to the Jefferson County State’s Attorney’s office for review.

No further information will be available from the ISP.

the partnership, and the biological benefits.

The relationship between the McHenry County Conservation District and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers spans three decades, with the latest partnership working together to tackle the long-awaited fourth phase of the Nippersink Creek Restoration Project. In the summer of 2014, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers began a five-year, $4.9 million project to restore 3.5 miles of Nippersink Creek.

The project was funded by the US Army Corps of Engineers, Section 206 program.

This year marked the completion of this historic project.

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers provided not only funding, but worked collaboratively with the District, ENCAP, Inc. and our partners to improve the ecological integrity of the entire watershed. Thanks to this continued collaboration, today’s reborn stream is home to game fish, silt intolerant mussels, ospreys and bald eagles. During large rain events the restored wetlands around the stream hold tens of millions of gallons of water that once impacted downstream communities with flooding.

The Nippersink Creek Aquatic Restoration Project offers the promise of a healthier stream capable of supporting not only a full array of aquatic biodiversity but ready to build paddling and fishing memories for generations to come.

Nippersink Creek plays a significant role as the largest tributary to the Fox River, which drains 137 square miles in Illinois and 50 square miles in Wisconsin. Sections of the creek are ranked among the highest quality in Illinois, supporting at least 21 animals and 30 plants listed as Illinois endangered or threatened species.

McHenry County Conservation District and the United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) will be recognized with an Intergovernmental Cooperation award for their work on the 206 Nippersink Creek Aquatic Restoration Project at the Illinois Association of Park District’s Best of the Best Awards, Friday Nov. 8, in Wheeling.

Task force recommends merging 649 local pension funds

By Peter Hancock CAPITOL NEWS ILLINOIS

A task force Democratic Gov. J.B. Pritzker formed in February is recommending the state consolidate 649 suburban and downstate police and firefighter pension funds into just two, saying the move would generate billions of dollars in additional earnings over the next 20 years while cutting administrative costs.

But it stopped short of recommending consolidation of other state retirement funds, or the Cook County and Chicago pension funds, saying those are issues that should be reviewed at a later time.

In a 22-page report released Oct. 10, the Pension Consolidation Feasibility Task Force urged lawmakers to consider its plan in the upcoming veto session.

“One of the most critical longterm challenges (for the state) is the need to address unfunded pension liabilities for local governments and the surging property tax burdens that they create,” Pritzker said at a news conference in Chicago.

Authors of the report argued that because most of the local pension plans are relatively small, they don’t enjoy the same kind of investment opportunities as larger funds. On average, their annual earnings are about 2 percentage points lower than larger funds.

And because each fund has its own board of trustees and investment managers, they are more expensive

to administer.

The report notes that Illinois has the second largest number of public employee pension plans behind Pennsylvania, and it ranks 42nd out of 50 states for the average amount of total assets in each system. The suburban and downstate police and fire plans have an average of just $22 million in assets per fund, compared to $16.9 billion for each of the six state retirement funds.

On average, the 649 funds are only 55-percent funded, with 88 of the plans funded at 20 percent or less. Combined, they have a total unfunded liability of $11.5 billion.

By consolidating them into two funds—one for police and one for firefighters—the new funds could generate between $820 million and $2.5 billion in additional earnings in just the first five years, assuming they earn at roughly the same rate as the larger Illinois Municipal Retirement Fund.

Put another way, the report noted, the 649 local pension funds are missing out on roughly $1 million a day in lost earnings potential.

“We know that every dollar we can raise in interest is a dollar that doesn’t have to be raised in taxes or a dollar that doesn’t have to be made in cuts,” state Treasurer Michael Frerichs said during the news conference.

The task force recommended carrying out the consolidation in two phases. The first would be to consolidate the financial assets of

the systems into two funds, each with its own board and its own investment manager. The second would be to review the possibility of consolidating their benefit administration systems.

Currently, according to the report, the cost of administering those 659 local plans is significantly higher than it is for larger funds like the Illinois Municipal Retirement Fund or the six statewide plans run by the state of Illinois. By consolidating administration, those plans could save an estimated $14 million a year, but the task force said there might be other forms of consolidation that could save on administrative costs while preserving “local knowledge of unique local cases.”

Pritzker said he expects the consolidation effort to run into opposition, particularly from investment managers and others who make money from managing the 649 small plans.

“I realize that this is going to disrupt their business model, but frankly we have to do what’s best for taxpayers of the state,” he said.

“And that’s why this task force made sure that the special interests weren’t in the room, and the people who are directly affected – the retirees, the first responders themselves and the municipalities themselves—were in the room, as well as financial experts, to make sure they were getting the right plan put forward.”

Beware of door-to-door electricity sales It is important to beware of high pressure sales tactics used by independent electricity providers who may go door-to-door promising to lower a resident’s electric bill. The City does not have any employees assigned to go door-to-door to discuss electricity rates.

If you are approached by someone claiming to be from “the City” or “the electric company,” they may represent an alternative electricity supplier that could increase your bill. Do not provide any information regarding your electric account to someone who comes to your door, since that person could be trying to sign you up without your permission. Make sure to get the name of the company the person represents, along with the individual’s name and phone number.

To ensure you are not paying additional fees for your electricity, make sure to check your electric bills to verify the company listed on the supply section of your bill. If you see a strange company on your bill, you could be paying additional costs for an alternative power supplier. If you believe you have given out information to an unknown electric service provider, or if you see an unknown company listed as a power supplier on your bill, please contact NIMEC at 847-607-1804 or the City

of Crystal Lake - Nick Hammonds at 815-356-3675. If you need to speak to someone outside of normal business hours, please call our Police Department’s non-emergency line at 815-356-3620 or dial 9-1-1 in case of emergency.

If you believe that you are the

victim of fraudulent electrical supplier activities contact the Illinois Commerce Commission (ICC) Consumer Services Division complaint line at 800-524-0795, or online at http://www.icc.illinois.gov/ consumer/complaint.

Preventing leptospirosis Leptospirosis is a disease caused by infection of the Leptospira bacteria that can be found worldwide in soil and water. This waterborne disease is spread when infected carriers such as raccoons, opossums, squirrels, livestock and rodents urinate in open or standing water.

Dogs are most commonly affected because they tend to drink from puddles, rivers, and outdoor areas where there could be contaminated water.

The disease can be fatal and is zoonotic, meaning it can be transmitted from animals to humans. However, leptospirosis is a very preventable disease. Don’t let your dogs drink from open water outside and vaccinate your dogs annually with a lepto vaccine from Blain’s Farm & Fleet.

Warning Signs of Leptospirosis Warning signs of leptospirosis vary in severity from one dog to

the next. Some infected dogs do not show any signs of illness while others develop severe illness that may result in death. Warning signs of leptospirosis may include shivering, muscle tenderness, changes in the frequency or amount of urination, dehydration, vomiting, diarrhea, loss of appetite, lethargy, jaundice or painful inflammation within the eyes.

Leptospirosis can also cause kidney failure, severe lung disease, bleeding disorders, swollen legs (from fluid accumulation) or excess fluid in the chest or abdomen region.

Prevent your dog from Leptospirosis by either vaccinating your dog or by purchasing a Durvet Vaccine kit. Keep in mind Durvet’s Spectra 9 and Spectra 10 kits both contain the four most common lepto strains: Lepto grippotyphosa, Lepto pomona, Lepto canicola and Lepto icterohaemorrhagia.

Help is available to opioid addicts Are you addicted to heroin, opioids, alcohol, or other drugs? Know someone who is? It’s time to get help. McHenry County offers the “A Way Out” program to anyone who is addicted to drugs or alcohol and is looking for help. Stop by the Sheriff’s Office or any other participating police agency and we will drive you to a place to start you on your road to recovery. #YouAreNotAlone https://www.mchenrycountyil. gov/county-government/departments-j-z/state-s-attorney-s-office/ programs-and-initiatives/a-way-out

The plaquing ceremony of the Friedrich Schmitt Chapel, took place at the site of this historic building, adjacent to the Chapel Hill Country Club.

The Friedrich Schmitt Chapel recognized The McHenry County Historical Society’s Historic Sites Committee plaqued the Schmitt Chapel site at 1 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 19, at 2500 N. Chapel Hill Road in Johnsburg.

They were joined by representatives from the village of Johnsburg and the Marciniak family.

The McHenry County Historical Society and the village of Johnsburg invited the public to the plaquing ceremony, which took place at the site of this historic little Chapel, adjacent to the Chapel Hill Country Club.

If you didn’t know it was there, you wouldn’t give this nondescript, small white building a second glance, but behind its block facade is a true gem, Step inside the Schmitt Chapel and embrace its simple pleasures – from original paintings depicting the Stations of the Cross, a modestly adorned altar, to some well-worn, but welcoming, pews.

This captivating roadside chapel gathers you in and, in its own way, restores your soul.

Wayside shrines and chapels have been a centuries old tradition across Europe, and Europe is where this story begins. In 1841 Jacob Schmitt arrived in America. He, along with Nicholas Adams, Johann Muller and Nicholas Frett, founded Johnsburg. A year later Friedrich and Anna Schmitt left the Rhineland to join brother Jacob. They set sail for port of New York, on what became a most terrifying voyage, one that encountered stormy seas so rough their crossing took an additional three months.

With winds blowing from all four

corners of heaven, Friedrich made a solemn vow if they lived to see America, he would build a chapel to thank God. True to his word, Friedrich erected a log chapel, on this very site, in 1843.

The log chapel was used for nearly 10 years and was replaced in 1853 by a larger 16-by-20-foot brick structure. The following year Anna died, followed by Friedrich in 1875.

In 1878 the Schmitt Family enlarged the chapel by 8 feet. Used continuously by the community as a place of spiritual reflection, families would arrive in groups to pray for good harvests, favorable weather, and healing for the sick and needy.

Through the years surrounding farmland gave way to the Chapel Hill Golf Course, formerly Smith’s Golf Club, and Pistakee Bay Road became Chapel Hill Road. By the 1950s the 100-old common brick, wood windows and cedar shingles greatly deteriorated. And so, in 1956, the chapel was clad in cement block, asphalt shingles were applied, and glass block windows installed, to prevent golf balls from shattering the windows.

Like its founder, this little chapel has survived its own storms, from indifferent past owners, bank foreclosures, vandalism, growing highway development, to a roof on fire, but miraculously, here it stands.

For more than 175 years descendants of Friedrich and Anna Schmitt have lovingly cared for this chapel and have fought to maintain its existence and future, a future now safe with ownership by the village.

Report finds education funding overhaul effective; calls for increased state investment

By Jerry Nowicki CAPITOL NEWS ILLINOIS

Illinois institutions of higher education, which dropped from roughly 896,000 in 2009 to 747,000 in 2017.

“When looking at the most recent five years, black student enrollment at Illinois institutions declined almost 26 percent,” the report said. “While Latinx enrollment grew 6 percent, Latinx students represent fewer than 18 percent of total enrollment.”

The overall high school graduation rate has grown in recent years, and the rate for black (75 percent) and Latinx (81 percent) populations also inched closer to that of white populations (91 percent), the report said. Despite the gains, other attainment gaps by race are growing.

“While Illinois Latinx and black students’ growth is equal to or exceeds their white peers in both reading and mathematics, they are still performing below grade level in 8th grade,” the report stated. “Put differently, our current rate of growth, while significant, is neither far-reaching nor fast enough to

make up for early gaps and prepare all students for college and careers.”

On top of that, Illinois offers inadequate birth-to-three services and support for low-income families, according to the report. Just 59,000 of roughly 300,000 eligible children aged birth through four receive assistance from the state’s Child Care Assistance Program, the report found.

“The need far outpaces the state’s investment for these families and is leaving a critical hole in services and supports for our children,” according to the report.

Approximately 84 percent of the state’s low-income three- and fouryear-olds have access to state or federally funded pre-school, which ranks high nationally, according to the report.

However, most of those are half-day programs, and access is “uneven,” according to the report.

“There are early childhood ‘deserts’ with essentially no publicly supported programming for children in need from birth to 3 years, and communities with no public pre-kindergarten for 3- and

A new report from an independent policy and advocacy organization is calling for increased state investment in public education in Illinois, particularly in early childhood and higher education.

“Overall, our outcomes are improving despite insufficient state investment in programs and schools. We must build on the progress of K–12 funding reform and ensure our early childhood and postsecondary programs are fully and equitably funded so students and families have access to the resources they need to thrive,” Advance Illinois said in its 2019 “The State We’re In” report.

Advance Illinois was founded in 2008 by leaders from several civic, philanthropic, business and education organizations across the state. The group’s stated purpose is to work “toward a healthy public education system that prepares students to achieve success in college, career and civic life.”

Their annual report tracks roughly 80 metrics pertaining to student performance in three categories: early education, K–12 and postsecondary.

The report found that evidence-based funding formula, which was passed in 2017, has helped increase per-pupil state spending at the K-12 level. Illinois spent, on average, $7,503 per pupil in 2017, ranking it 29th in the nation.

That’s up from $4,557 in 2007, when the state ranked 45th.

The evidence-based funding formula calls for an added $350 million in K-12 education spending annually and directs that money to the schools furthest from adequate funding. This helped decrease the number of school districts funded at less than 60 percent of their adequacy targets from 168 in 2017 to roughly 34 in 2019, according to the report.

Still, nearly half of Illinois’ 852 school districts are working with “less than 70 percent of the funds they need to adequately meet their students’ needs,” the report said.

While K-12 education spending in-

creased from 2007 to 2017, over that same span, per-pupil state spending at four-year higher education institutions was decimated. In 2007, Illinois spent $7,276 per student at public fouryear institutions, but that number fell to $3,636 in 2017. That was a steep enough fall to move the state from the 19th to 45th highest in the nation.

The decreased state investment came as higher education costs continued to rise. In the last 15 years, annual inflation-adjusted tuition at public four-year universities has increased 62 percent from $8,641 to $13,970.10, the report said.

Because of this, a family earning the median household income of $62,992 would have to pay 27 percent of its income to send one child to a state university, provided they receive no state or federal aid. That number jumps to 50 percent of annual income for those living at the federal poverty line.

The decreased spending coincided with an overall enrollment decline in

Jesse White announces driver records now available online Illinoisans no longer need to visit Driver Services facilities to obtain their driving record

Illinoisans no longer need to visit Driver Services facilities to purchase their driving records due to a new program launched by Illinois Secretary of State Jesse White. Motorists may now purchase a copy of their driving record online by visiting www.cyberdriveillinois.com. This new program will allow customers to immediately print their driving record at the end of the

transaction. The program is accessible 24/7 at www.cyberdriveillinois.com through the “Online Services” section under the “Driving Record Abstract” category.

The purpose of a driving record is to document whether a person has a valid driver’s license, and to track a motorist’s history of traffic violations as well as any sanctions imposed by

the Secretary of State. Driving records are often required by employers for employees who drive during the course of their workday. Records may also be needed to obtain a new driver’s license for those who have moved to another state. In addition, some individuals like to monitor their driving record and may use them to receive auto insurance discounts or for other

purposes.

“I am pleased to offer this new online service that uses technology to better serve the public,” said White.

“On average, more than 18,000 driving records are purchased monthly at Driver Services facilities statewide.

This new program now allows Illinois license holders the opportunity to purchase their own driving record from the convenience of their homes.”

To use this service, customers will be required to enter personal information for security purposes, as well as information from the hard copy of their driver’s license, such as driver’s license number, issuance date on driver’s license, etc. They may purchase their driving record once the required identification has been entered. The fee is $12 per record, plus a $1 credit

lags in Illinois, which has one counselor for every 320 students, while the national average is of one for every 239.

The report also found that an increasing number of Illinois students are graduating high school, enrolling in higher education and obtaining degrees, and more students are enrolling in challenging high school coursework such as advanced placement courses.

“As a state, we have demonstrated our ability to make real progress for all students on challenging issues.

There is more work to do and more children counting on us to tackle it,” the report concluded.

The report also called attention to a statewide teacher shortage and a lack of diversity in the teaching profession – 83 percent of teachers are white, and 76 percent are women, while 6 percent of teachers are black despite 17 percent of schoolchildren being black.

A black student is seven times more likely to be suspended than a white student, per the report, and five times more likely to be suspended than a Latinx student, making those students more likely to fall behind.

card processing fee. The $12 fee to purchase driving records is set by the state legislature and is the same whether the record is purchased online or at a Driver Services facility.

Once payment has been accepted, customers will have immediate access to their driving record in a PDF file. The records are the same certified record a motorist would obtain at a Driver Services facility. In addition, customers will be emailed a link to the PDF, which will be available to view for five calendar days. Customers may save the record to their computer or smart phone, and email or text it to a third party, such as their employer or attorney. The electronic link is only available through the online service and is one of the advantages of obtaining the record electronically.
