Harvard names new fire chief

COURTESY PHOTO McHenry County News

Lawrence J. Kane has been appointed as the new fire chief of the Harvard Fire Protection District.

The Harvard Fire Protection District has announced the appointment of Lawrence J. Kane to the position of fire chief. He reported for duty for the first time on Feb. 10, 2020.

According to Roger Hugg, president of the Fire District Board of Trustees, “Kane was selected after a candidate review and evaluation conducted by the Illinois Fire Chief’s Association. Two names

were presented to the district trustees for final consideration.”

Hugg further said “The final decision was made by trustees after two rounds of interviews with the two candidates.”

Kane is a 26-year veteran of the public safety community. He has served as both police officer and firefighter/paramedic during his tenure. He was employed by the Glen-

view Fire Department where he had risen through the ranks to his current position of battalion chief.

Kane’s expansive fire service experience made him an attractive candidate for the Harvard chief’s position. While in Glenview, as a member of the Training Division, Larry coordinated Fire Officer Development programs, participated on the Hazardous Materials Re-

sponse Team for MABAS Division 3, accrued extensive experience in the preparation of fire department operational budgets, and researched and revised operational and administrative standard operating guidelines.

Kane has a Master of Science Degree in Public Safety Administration and a Bachelor of Arts in Fire Science Management. He is also a

graduate of the Midwest Leadership Institute. Kane is certified in the use of the National Incident Management System and the Incident Command System. “Larry Kane comes from a family of fire department people” Hugg said, “and will be an asset to Harvard in the future development of our department.”

Kane’s parents are residents of rural Harvard.

Illinois group asks U.S. Supreme Court to reconsider abortion protections

By Rebecca Anzel CAPITOL NEWS ILLINOIS

An Illinois anti-abortion advocacy group argues the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision legalizing the procedure is outdated and “out of step with modern science.”

The Thomas More Society, a Chicagobased law firm, filed a brief recently on behalf of Illinois Right to Life in the highest court’s first abortion-related case in years.

It challenges whether a Louisiana law mandating doctors who perform the procedure have admitting privileges at nearby hospitals is “unduly burdensome.”

The Society’s filing is technically in support of the Louisiana law, but its focus is on the Supreme Court’s landmark 1973 ruling.

Roe v. Wade should be revisited,

according to the brief, because its three major tenets are no longer applicable: pregnant women and mothers do not face “substantial social burdens” as they once did; the scientific community agrees life begins at conception; and 38 states now have some version of a fetal homicide law.

Together, those assertions are enough for the highest court to reassess whether fetuses qualify as “persons” under the law and can be granted the protection of the 14th Amendment, Thomas Olp, the Society’s vice president and senior counsel, said.

That amendment ensures government does not “deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law” or “the equal protection of the laws.”

“There have been significant changes,

and the court should take a new look at Roe in terms of those changes,” he said. “Just as it’s important that slaves were human beings and therefore persons protectable by law, now we need to … agree preborn human beings are entitled to protection.”

Essentially, the Thomas More Society’s and Illinois Right to Life’s reasoning is fetuses should be wholly protected by all statutes, not just a few—most notably, fetal homicide laws.

“The position expressed here ignores the actual question facing the Court in the Louisiana case—whether forcing doctors who provide a full range of reproductive health care for their patients to have admitting privileges in a local hospital— [and] elevates the beliefs of politicians and

ideologues above concern for women’s health,” Ameri Klafeta, director of the American Civil Liberty Union’s Women’s and Reproductive Rights Project, said. “We reject that view.”

She added the argument detailed in the group’s brief mirrors that heard in the Illinois General Assembly when legislators were debating the Reproductive Health Act. Signed by Gov. J.B. Pritzker in June, it enshrined women’s access to reproductive health care as a fundamental right.

Louisiana’s law is similar to one in Texas that the U.S. Supreme Court ruled against about five years ago. The justices decided the Lone Star State’s regulation was a “substantial burden” on women’s right to abortion.

Educate teens against dating violence physical contact and understand that sex is not a currency. Before entering a relationship, your kids should understand consent. They need to be able to assert their feelings as well as respect those of others. Consent is a clear and enthusiastic yes. If someone seems unsure, stays silent, doesn’t respond or says “maybe…” then they are not saying yes.

Digital boundaries ensure the digital privacy expectations of each partner are met. This includes keeping passwords private and communicating respectfully over text message.

No one should feel pressured into sexting and sharing nude photos (including receiving unsolicited nudes).

Sexting can also have legal consequences. Any nude photos or videos of someone under the age of 18 could be considered child pornography,

which is illegal to own or distribute.

Sometimes teens find it difficult to discuss these types of issues with their parents. Remind them there are other resources, such as the school social worker or counselor, their School Resource Officer (SRO), Turning Point (815-338-8081) or the National Domestic Violence Hotline (800-799-7233).

The 75th anniversary of the most brutal World War II battle in the Pacific has arrived. From Feb. 19 to March 26, 1945, U.S. Forces numbering 110,000 fought a Japanese force of over 20,000 dug in troops for control of the volcanic island of Iwo Jima.

In what became the bloodiest battle of the war, the U.S. suffered casualties of over 26,000, including over 6,900 killed in action. The Japanese defending the island were totally obliterated with only 300 being taken prisoner. Untold numbers of Japanese soldiers died in the islands extensive tunnel defense system, when U.S. forces sealed the entrances with explosives because the soldiers refused to surrender.

Grayslake Ill. resident Bradley J. Hartsell spent 10 years in the United States Marine Corps honorably discharged with the rank of staff sergeant. While serving with the 1st Marine Air Wing and the 3rd Force Service Support Group in Okinawa, Japan, he began to formally study the Japanese language.

He also developed a serious avocation for the history of and the exploration/excavation of Pacific World War II battle sites including Okinawa and Iwo Jima.

Hartsell excavated the Iwo Jima tunnel systems and retrieved rare artifacts, including mummified human re-mains. He was personally invited by the Japanese Health and Welfare Ministry (Koseisho) to work with them, the Japanese survivors of the battle, and next of kin of soldiers who perished in the

battle.

He has appeared on television in Japan and in the pilot episode of War Stories with Oliver North entitled, “The Battle for Iwo Jima”, as well as subsequent Bradley J. Hartsell episodes.

Hartsell served as a historical consultant on Japanese military history for the film, “The Great Raid” and the HBO series, “The Pacific.”Mr. Hartsell also mounted a traveling exhibit and regularly gave lectures about his exploits and findings during the tunnel excavations.

On Sunday, March 1, Hartsell will present one final lecture and slide presentation with the artifacts from his traveling exhibit at 9 a.m. at Donley Auctions facility in Union, Ill. Following the lecture, all the artifacts from the traveling exhibit will be auctioned off. Among the highlights of the auction, is the personal fountain pen of General Tadamichi Kuribayashi, the commander of Japanese forces on Iwo Jima who was killed in the battle. This event is part of the two-day Gun & Military Auction at Donley Auctions, 8512 S. Union Road, Union.

February is Teen Dating Violence Awareness Month. One in three teens in the U.S. will experience physical, sexual, or emotional abuse by someone they are in a relationship with before they become adults. Educating your teen on healthy relationships can help keep them safe now and set them up for more successful adult relationships.

Parents should talk to their kids about setting appropriate boundaries and encourage them to communicate these boundaries to anyone they are in a relationship with. Both partners should know each other’s wants, goals, fears and limits.

You should feel comfortable honestly communicating your needs to your partner without being afraid of what they might do in response. If your partner tells you that your needs are stupid, gets angry with you or goes against what you’re comfortable with, then your partner is not showing you the respect you deserve.

Emotional boundaries include when and how a partner says “I love you” and the amount of time spent together. Each partner should be able to express him or herself freely, including the need to spend some time apart.

Physical boundaries should be discussed and communicated throughout the relationship. Each partner should feel comfortable with any

After the polar vortex of last winter, many are wondering if those cold blustery temperatures will return this season to affect our plants in Illinois.

According to winter predictions, and University of Illinois Extension horticulture educator Bruce J. Black, this winter should be cold, but with enough snow, plants will be successfully insulated.

“When planning your garden, it is essential to choose plants that can tolerate our cold temperatures and still have blossoms all year long,” Black says. “After mapping out cold-hardy perennials you currently have planted, begin to think about what new plants could be added to your landscape. A great starting place is the All-America Selections.”

All-America Selections (AAS) is a non-profit organization that releases several trialed plants each year as AAS Winners. All-America Selections tests new varieties every year at their 80 private and public trial sites located around the United States and Canada. Currently, there are five trial locations in Illinois (three northern, one central, one southern).

Independent judges, who are professional horticulturists in geographically diverse areas, evaluate trial entries against comparison plants. The results and observations are compiled and winners are chosen. For the best plants suited to the area, Illinois residents should look for Great Lakes winners or National winners on the AAS Winners lists.

Six 2020 AAS Winners have been announced, which include four vegetables and two flowers. They are: • Cucumber, Green Light F1 (Cucumis sativusvar. Green Light F1): Green Light is a vining cucumber, with a plant height of 80 inches producing 40 3.5-inch sweet and crisp fruits per plant. National Vegetable Winner.

• Tomato, Celano F1 (Solanum lycopersicum var. Celano F1): Celano is a patio-type grape tomato with a bushy habit, producing uniform oblong sweet fruits. With excellent late-blight tolerance, Celano is considered to be sweet, with a phenomenal yield. Ideal for container gardens, but may require trellising and some pruning according to the judges’ observations. National Vegetable Winner.

• Tomato, Early Resilience F1

Fair map won’t happen with current makeup of Illinois Supreme Court

Illinois will never have fair maps for its legislative districts under the present Illinois Supreme Court.

There is an opportunity in November to change the court, yet I fear the contest will not be engaging, even though it’s long past time for a change.

This is political inside baseball, so stick with me on this, if you’re interested.

In 1964, Democratic Gov. Otto Kerner and Chicago Mayor Richard J. Daley made changes in the state judiciary that included a kind of gerrymandering, if you will. Previously, Illinois had seven Supreme Court justices from seven districts. The new structure called for the same seven justices, one each from four districts outside Cook County (Chicago), but with three justices elected countywide in Cook.

This latter proviso all but guaranteed there would be a Democratic majority on the court, as there has been continuously since 1964. Three Democrats are routinely elected from Cook County, always the ones endorsed by the Cook County Democratic Central Committee. In 1964 and forward, Democrats banked on a fourth Dem from the deep southern Illinois district, which was the case until a decade ago.

If Cook were divided into three one-justice districts, like the rest of the state, the outcome would likely have been two Democrats from Chicago districts and one GOPer from the county’s suburbs. And thus, the court might have bounced back and forth between Democratic and Republican 4-3 majorities, as one or more of the downstate districts is typically competitive on a partisan basis.

Over the decades, the Democratic court majority has been reliably protective of the interests of Cook County Democrats, rejecting

efforts to create term limits, and rebuffing court challenges to heavily gerrymandered legislative districting.

The Illinois Constitution requires that districts shall be “compact, contiguous and substantially equal in population.” The dictionary defines “compact” as “closely and neatly packed together; dense.”

In sharp contrast, the 2010 state House districts drawn by Speaker Mike Madigan snake and squiggle out from Chicago into the suburbs in finger-like projections. Readers can Google “Illinois State Representative District maps” to see this. The Illinois Supreme Court Democratic majority said they passed constitutional muster! And it will say so again, after next year’s redistricting—unless the court is changed.

For the past 20 years, Justice Thomas Kilbride, a Democrat, has served as the justice from the 3rd District, which covers most of central Illinois, from Rock Island-Moline to Peoria to Joliet. He was elected 20 years ago with a late, unexpected campaign infusion of $1 million from Democratic House Speaker Michael Madigan. In 2010, the justice spent $2.5 million, largely from Mike Madigan, and was retained with just less than 66 percent of the vote.

Kilbride seeks retention for another 10-year term, and needs to achieve support from 60 percent of voters at the November general election.

If Kilbride were to fail in his retention bid, the court would likely become 3-3 on a partisan basis. Democrats alone would thus be unable to overrule a lower court ruling that finds a new, gerrymandered redistricting failed to meet the “compact” requirements of the constitution. Then, in 2022, there would be an election to fill the vacancy in the 3rd District.

Speaker Madigan, also chair of the Illinois Democratic Party, and Gov. JB Pritzker will spend all the

Parenthood losses and gains

I’m experiencing parenthood all over again – through my daughter.

To be honest, it’s easier watching it than actually living it. For sure there’s less sleep deprivation and wet, sticky kisses. But seeing her go through all the things I did has given me various perspectives that I don’t think I could have recognized back when I was in the trenches and up to my eyeballs in dirty diapers.

It now occurs to me that parenthood brings with it both losses and gains.

One of the most obvious examples is the loss of sleep. After becoming a parent I coveted sleep for decades.

(Yes, that’s a plural.) My babies never slept through the night; and then they turned into teenagers and I found myself waiting for them to come home by curfew. I went from a person who thought she needed eight hours of sleep to one who got by on about six.

During this time, I learned that sleep can be overrated. I adapted to the change and gained an endurance I hadn’t thought possible. I also drank lots of coffee.

Another loss? That of time. Prechildren I had time for hobbies and interests. I read novels because I could. After children, I segued to reading short stories because they fit better into the time scheme of things.

While I lost the vast expanses of time to follow my own pursuits, I gained the gift of in the moment.

In the moment moments are some of the richest experiences life has to offer. First words. First steps.

As an old campaign manager for statewide and presidential candidates, I don’t think a challenge has to match opponents dollar for dollar to be successful.

First, the powerful, tried and true slogan, “It’s time for a change” was never more apt, after more than half a century of continuous one-party domination of the court.

Gun rights advocates sue State Police for alleged FOID delays

By Jerry Nowicki CAPITOL NEWS ILLINOIS

A pair of gun rights advocacy groups are suing the Illinois State Police, its director and the chief of the Illinois State Police Firearms Services Bureau for “not acting in a timely manner on Firearm Owner Identification card and concealed carry applications.”

The Illinois State Rifle Association and the Second Amendment Foundation filed the lawsuit in U.S. District Court alleging violations of Second Amendment rights.

“The citizens of Illinois have been delayed getting their FOID cards for months,” ISRA Executive Director Richard Pearson said in a news release.

“We have tried to work with the State Police on this matter, but nothing is happening. We are left with no other choice but to file a lawsuit.”

The gun rights groups said the lawsuit was filed on behalf of Illinois residents Ryan A. Thomas and Goran Lazic in the Northern District of Illinois, Eastern Division federal court. The news release said Thomas and Lazic have been waiting for their FOID cards and licenses for three years.

The lawsuit contends the State Police, “has swept or transferred funds totaling more than ($29.5 million) from the State Police Firearms Services Fund, the State Police Operations Assistance Fund, and the State Police Services Fund away from these funds and into other accounts.”

According to the complaint, the money should have been used for the

administration of the FOID card act, background checks for firearm-related services, and concealed carry licensing.

“Instead, the more than ($29.5 million) has been subject to interfund transfers which are ostensibly to be repaid but which have not been, or swept into other accounts without an obligation to reimburse the funds at all,” according to the lawsuit.

“The sweeping of funds has denied qualified Illinois citizens their rights and the ability to defend themselves and their families,” SAF founder and Executive Vice President Alan Gottlieb said in the release. “Because of this practice, ISP processing of FOID and concealed carry applications has slowed to a crawl, allowing paperwork to languish. That’s not just poor performance, it’s pathetic.”

ISP spokesperson Beth Hundsdorfer, however, said in a statement the ISP does “not have the authority to ‘sweep’ funds.”

“In 2015 and 2018, $13.2 million was swept from the Firearms Service Fund into the general fund during the budget crisis. Under the current fiscal year, funds have not been swept, allowing the Firearms Services Bureau to start filling 17 analyst vacancies, procure technology to offer better customer service and to begin building a new Appeals Bureau,” she said.

She added that 90 percent of FOID applications were on average processed in fewer than 30 days and it took an average of 65 days to renew a FOID card in 2019.

State to release first $50 million of broadband expansion funding

By Jerry Nowicki CAPITOL NEWS ILLINOIS

The state is accepting applications for the first $50 million in disbursements of a $420 million grant program aimed at increasing internet access across the state.

Gov. JB Pritzker announced the release of funding Feb. 5 at Ridgely Elementary School in Springfield, noting that the rights to “health care and education and economic opportunity” are all “tied to digital connectivity” in the 21st century.

“I want to be clear though,” he said, “this isn’t about a person’s ability to go online and just look at their Facebook page. This is about a small business owner having the tools that she needs to reach new customers.

“This is about an elderly couple’s ability to get access to medical experts anywhere in the nation, even if they live in a rural community. This is about giving children like the ones that are here today the ability to research their homework assignments online.”

The program, known as Connect Illinois, is part of the $45 billion capital infrastructure plan that the General Assembly passed last year.

Applications for the first $50 million can be submitted through Friday, April 3. Applicants can receive up to $5 million per project as part of the first round of funding, but they must provide at least 50 percent of the project’s funding.

Matt Schmit, head of the office of broadband within the Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity, said he expects applicants to include internet service providers, rural broadband cooperatives and possibly communities looking to invest in broadband.

“We’ll have an inclusive process when it comes to applicants,” he said.

“The point is that you’ve got to have a strong track record of demonstrating that you can do this kind of work. And so we’re going to be very diligent in making sure that any applicant that the state partners with is up to this work, and that we’re making sound investments for the long haul.”

He said he also expects to see community and provider partnerships in some circumstances.

“And we want to hear ideas, we want to hear from you,” Schmit said.

“Because this is not a state-driven approach. This is a partnership between our providers, our communities and folks who are interested in getting a better connectivity future for our communities around the state.”

Schmit said the $420 million accounts for “the nation’s largest competitive matching grant program” for broadband expansion. He said $20 million of that funding will go to maintenance of the Illinois Century Network, which is the high-speed state system that serves educational, research, governmental and health care organiza-

tions across the state.

“A year ago, our administration made a daring promise to prioritize not just with our words, but with action to bridge the digital divide that hinders so many rural and urban communities,” Lt. Gov. Juliana Stratton said at the news conference.

She chairs the governor’s Rural Affairs Council, and said she has met with rural and agricultural leaders who relayed that a “primary need” was expanding broadband.

“About 10 percent of the population is underserved when it comes to broadband access, and those communities are overwhelmingly people of color or those living in remote parts of our state,” she said.

Pritzker likened the need for broadband in rural communities to a period when rural communities lagged behind on electricity. He also noted several neighborhoods in Chicago lack reliable internet access.

“Almost a century ago, rural communities were shut out of the modern economy because they didn’t have electricity,” he said. “And so government took action to incentivize and accelerate rural electrification. Within two decades, over 90 percent of our nation’s farms had electricity. The rural broadband challenge of today is no different.”

IN THE CIRCUIT COURT FOR THE TWENTYSECOND JUDICIAL CIRCUIT MC HENRY COUNTY, ILLINOIS QUICKEN LOANS INC. Plaintiff, -v.TONYA MEEKER et al Defendant 19 CH 000360 NOTICE OF SALE PUBLIC NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that pursuant to a Judgment of Foreclosure and Sale entered in the above cause on November 5, 2019, an agent for The Judicial Sales Corporation, will at 1:00 PM on March See Notices on next page

Prevent frozen pipes Each winter, the Woodstock Department of Public Works receives calls from residents whose water pipes have frozen. Consider the following suggestions, which may help to prevent pipes from freezing: • Shut off and drain pipes leading to outside spigots.

• Seal any cold air leaks where pipes are located.

• Insulate pipes most susceptible to freezing: those along outer walls, in crawl spaces, or in attics (pipe insulation is available at most hardware stores).

• Leave a cold water faucet open overnight at a trickle.

• Make sure the furnace is left on and set no lower than 55 degrees.

Should you have any questions, contact the Department of Public Works at pwdept@woodstockil.gov or 815338-6118.

• Peace

(Continued from page 4) subsequent stories of torture and struggle at the hands of our enemies.

I think that’s when I realized that life wasn’t quite as perfect as I thought it was.

That’s about the time my faith became serious and I trusted Jesus Christ as my Savior because I had grown up hearing of his great salvation and the gift of eternal life through faith in Him. Romans 10:9 says that if we confess with our mouths that Jesus is Lord and believe in our hearts that God raised Him from the dead, we will be saved.

Some people say it’s too hard to believe that the Bible is true about God coming to earth as a man to die for our sins, but I’ve never found it difficult to believe. The alternative of living on my own without God’s love and grace is much too daunting a task. It’s so much better to trust the Savior and walk side by side with Him in faith each day. I challenge you to give Him a chance today. You’ll never regret it. Even though the world is crazier than ever, God’s peace and confidence will reign in your heart as you grow in grace and truth.

Until next week, God bless.

Sunday Auction Honors the 75 Anniversary of Iwo Jima Featuring the documented tunnel relic collection of Brad Hartsell USMC (ret) In 1988, Marine Staff Sergeant Brad Hartsell was stationed on the Island of Okinawa and received permission from the Japanese government to visit the island of Iwo Jima. What started out as a hobby of exploring the WWII tunnel systems, turned into passion that has helped bring to light the final struggle of the battle from the Japanese perspective. Bradâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s collection of tunnel dug relics and his first hand knowledge of the tunnel systems has led to lectures, a traveling exhibit, and consultation on movies. Brad will be on hand to give one final lecture at 9am Sunday before the auction. This will be a great chance to bid on these historic relics including the personal fountain pen of Japanese General Kuribayashi, who was killed in battle.
