Northwood, Creekside middle schools, robotics teams win trophies in state first Lego League competition Robotics teams from both Woodstock Community Unit School District 200 middle schools took home trophies from the First Lego League state competition tackling real world problems of space travel and programming their robots to perform a series of tasks.

The Apollo XVIII team from Creekside Middle School and Space Squad team from Northwood Middle School placed at a Dec. 8 event hosted at Northwood where they competed against 14 other teams from NMS, CMS and neighboring school districts.

Their scores allowed them to advance to state Jan. 19 at Elgin Community College where they competed among dozens of teams from Chicago and across northern Illinois sharing their skills and the results of their preparation and research.

“Space Squad, along with Creekside team, were the best version of D 200 students. Although it was a competition with 48 teams in attendance, you could find both middle schools cheering for each other all day at the robot performance tables,” said Gigi Carlson, gifted coordinator and Northwood team coach.

This year’s First Lego League challenge theme was “Into Orbit.”

The Space Squad took on the issue of astronauts experiencing ear problems during space travel while Apollo XVIII developed a light to combat the loss of Vitamin D that astronauts experience while on extended missions.

After a long day of competition in

Elgin, Creekside’s team was awarded the trophy for Best Robot Design: Innovation & Strategy while the Northwood team won the trophy for Best Project: Research.

“It is the first time for Woodstock that two different teams, from two different schools, have won a state level trophy in two different categories. We are immensely proud of everyone’s efforts,” Carlson said.

Kristina Hermansson, gifted coordinator at Creekside and coach of the Apollo XVIII team, said she was thrilled for both teams and amazed by their success at state.

“What a wonderful group of kids.

They worked so hard, cooperating, learning from each other. As a teacher, it’s really a joy to see those efforts pay off,” Hermansson said.

In addition to the trophy, the Space Squad team was asked to perform its presentation to the entire cheering crowd of more than 1,500 at Elgin Community College. Students competing on District 200 robotics teams participate as part of their schools’ Challenge Corps program for gifted students. The Northwood Space Squad team members include: Alex Azarela, A.J. Bigler, Bob Gerloff, Will Madigan, Claire Miranda, Teya Nieman, Ryan Nolan, Emerich Parpart, Malaika Parpart and A.J. Ringpis. Members of Creekside’s Apollo XVII members are: Adeline Arana, Javier Benito, Isabella Kozlow, Jackson Lyons, Daniel Mugica, Vincent Perez, Kathleen Thomas and Alisha Virani.

It was Super Bowl II for one northern Illinois couple

By Doug Schroder RVP STAFF EDITOR

Most people become part of the over 100-million television viewers world wide to watch the Super Bowl when it happens each year.

For one couple from Poplar Grove it was the second year in a row the two will not be watching the game on television. Instead they were on the field at the game to help out with the halftime show.

Poplar Grove residents Randy Alberts and Gena Garner were in Atlanta since Wednesday, Jan. 23, practicing and preparing for the halftime show of the big game coming this Sunday.

“We pull off what we like to call the 24-minute miracle, also known as the Super Bowl halftime show.

The miracle consists of a six-minute set-up, a 12-minute performance and a six-minute teardown of the stage. There are 500 people on the stage/lighting crew, plus a total of 4000 people with cast and crew.

We have 40 hours of rehearsals about two weeks prior to the Super Bowl,” said Alberts It started four years ago when Alberts found out online about applications being taken to be part of the setup crew for the halftime show of the Super Bowl. When Super Bowl LI was held at NRG Stadium in Houston, Texas, Alberts considered going but found lodging to be quite cost prohibitive by the time he and Garner wanted to be a part of the show.

“You need to book stuff six

months out. General rates for hotel rooms run one thousand to two thousand dollars per night during game week,” stated Alberts.

Travel, lodging and spending cash is the responsibility of those on the halftime crew; with food being provided by the many sponsors of the game.

“We also get a lot of perks. Last year we got tickets to a Timberwolves game. We were also invited to NFL Opening Night. This year we’re going to the Opening Night also,” said Alberts. “Justin Timberlake threw a huge s’mores party for the crew last year. It was also his birthday that week so he threw another party for that.”

Passes to the game and for parking are provided, along with security clearance. A perimeter of two miles is made around the stadium for security purposes.

“Last year the stage crew assembled at another stadium parking lot and the 50 busses were accompanied by an armored escort to the game, military-style Humvees were in between each bus, helicopters even flew overhead. The streets are closed down for us to come through.

We still had to walk a mile through the cold to get to the staging area,” stated Alberts.

The week leading up to the Super Bowl is filled with festival like activities.

“The Kennedy Center sent over a land rover this year, I’m looking forward to seeing that,” said Alberts.

Practicing for the halftime show can be hectic.

“Things change from day to day leading up to the game. We never know what the changes will be un-

til we get to the stadium. Last year they repainted the field the day before the game,” said Alberts.

The stage last year was made up of 30x50 foot sections known as

carts that fit together like a puzzle.

It’s much the same this year.

Videos Alberts shot during last years show can be found on the Win-Du-Pec Facebook page.

Gov. Pritzker takes executive action to strengthen state’s commitment to ending HIV epidemic

Poplar Grove residents Randy Alberts and Gena Garner posed for a picture outside of MercedesBenz Stadium in Atlanta. The couple was there to take part again this year in the halftime show of the Super Bowl.

Surrounded by health care providers and HIV prevention advocates at the Winnebago County Health Department, Governor JB Pritzker took executive action strengthening the state’s commitment to ending the HIV epidemic that has affected nearly 40,000 Illinois residents.

“While 1,375 people were newly diagnosed with HIV in 2017 alone and unacceptable health disparities in communities of color continue, over the past few years we’ve seen HIV prevention funding dry up, HIV testing rates go down, and

HIV prevention and treatment agencies lay off staff,” said Governor JB Pritzker. “Now is not the time to back down from this fight.

Now is the time to double down.

This executive order defines the state’s commitment to the HIV epidemic and serves as a first step in ensuring the state is good partner in this fight.”

Over the last four years, the State of Illinois failed to partner fully with organizations and advocates that are working to end the HIV epidemic. When there was no state budget, HIV prevention and care agencies across the state laid off staff. This lack of investment came a time when health disparities in HIV are increasing.

With today’s executive order, the state will change course and take advantage of opportunities to improve treatment. With Medicaid providing health insurance for 23,748 Illinoisans living with HIV in FY17, the state-run program is the largest payer for HIV care in the state and a vital partner in ending the HIV epidemic.

Committing to ending the HIV epidemic, Gov. Pritzker signed Executive Order 2019-08, which will: Invest in Programs and Services to End the Epidemic. Investments will include prevention measures the Rauner administration had discontinued, including funding for increased HIV testing, PrEP, the African American HIV/AIDS Response Act and other public health initiatives. Additionally, people living with HIV along with their healthcare providers will be invested and supported in achieving undetectable viral loads.

Monitor Viral Load Metrics.

The Department of Public Health and the Department of Healthcare and Family Services, in conjunction with the contracted Medicaid Managed Care Organizations (MMCOs), shall, within 90 days of the effective date of this Executive Order, deliver a report to the Governor containing a plan for the MMCOs to share data with the

State in accordance with all laws and regulations governing health privacy, including a viral load metric, so that the State can monitor progress to ensure Illinoisans living with HIV have access to the healthcare they need to keep their viral loads at zero.

“The AIDS Foundation is proud to see the state of Illinois taking critical steps to end the HIV epidemic,” said John Peller, president of the AIDS Foundation of Chicago. “With a partner like Gov. Pritzker in the governor’s office, Illinois can eliminate health disparities and improve health outcomes for people living with HIV by holding Medicaid accountable for tracking and reporting viral suppression.”

“We welcome Governor Pritzker to the Winnebago County Health Department and the focus of his administration on both the prevention and treatment of HIV infection,” said Dr. Sandra Martell, administrator of the Winnebago County Health Department. “Through this public and private partnership, we can get to zero in Illinois.”

“With HIV affecting so many communities across the state, I’m glad that Gov. Pritzker is combating this epidemic head-on and ensuring Illinoisans living with HIV have access to the health care they depend on,” said Rep. Maurice West (D-67th). “While the state hasn’t always been a good partner, the governor is turning the page and writing a new future when it comes to ending the HIV epidemic once and for all.”

“I thank Gov. Pritzker for coming to Rockford during his first week in office and commend his commitment to partnering with localities to keep our residents healthy,” said Rockford Mayor Tom McNamara.

“Cities and counties across Illinois have experienced a painful stretch of disinvestment from the state, but Gov. Pritzker has already shown he’s a different type of leader that cares about every region of the state.”

McHenry County College film and speech instructor Jim Stockwell inspires his college students to not just watch a film, but to understand the message

Chess team headed for State

SUBMITTED PHOTOS McHenry County News

The Huntley Chess Team had an amazing sectional tournament on Jan. 26 going 3-1 and earning a trip to the State competition in Peoria on Feb. 8-9! This is the second year in a row that they are going and the team has only been competing for these 2 years.

Jim Stockwell inspires students to develop critical thinking skills through film Lights. Camera. Action! Most people watch films and movies for pure entertainment, but McHenry County College film and speech instructor Jim Stockwell inspires his college students to not just watch a film, but to understand the message and meaning, and to appreciate the effort that goes into a production.

“Film is a backdrop for speaking and communicating, because sharing opinion is very important.

I use film as a way to teach those skills,” Stockwell said. “I want them to get more out of a film instead of just watching it, like why a director uses a certain camera angle. There’s a reason for certain shots. Critical thinking is very important.”

Through his lively lectures in his Introduction to Film classes, Stockwell takes students on a journey behind-the-scenes of Hollywood, where they learn about such elements as camera angles, lighting, sound, editing and develop skills in critical analysis. He starts the semester with an epic, usually a Best Picture winner, and ends with a combination of genres, including musical, action, drama and comedy.

“I love letting people know about all the elements that go into making a film.” Stockwell said. “We’re used to watching films, but we don’t think about everything that goes into them. I love enlightening students on how the process works.”

Stockwell said he strives to provide a comfortable, safe atmosphere

for students to share their thoughts and let them know that their opinion does matter.

“I want them to feel open to express their opinion and I don’t want them to think they have to agree with me—I am interested in what they think,” he said, adding that he doesn’t reveal to students what his favorite film is until the course is over to avoid tainting their thoughts or feelings.

The thing he loves most about teaching is when students finally connect to the subject matter and get it.

“I love watching the aha moments,” he said.

Stockwell has taught film and speech at MCC full-time for four years and prior to that, he taught at MCC as a part-time instructor for 17 years. He also worked as a corporate trainer for U.S. Bank, and previously honed his creative and technical skills working in both commercial TV in Champaign and public TV in Olney. He also showcased his talents in public radio, talk radio and as a DJ playing rock, oldies and country.

He originally majored in architecture at College of Lake County, where he earned his associate degree, but after watching the “Prince of Thieves” starring Kevin Costner, he became fascinated with filmmaking and script writing. He then majored in radio, TV and film at Eastern Illinois University, where he earned both his bachelor’s and master’s degrees.

Historical Society offering scholarship opportunity Jaynell J. Ross sentenced for drug induced homicide 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 rec-

ommendation (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 8.

This year’s topic is: World War I ended exactly 100 years ago this past November - at the 11th hour of the 11th day. The

Mitchell Kirksey sentenced to eight years for aggravated possession of stolen firearms Patrick D. Kenneally, McHenry County State’s Attorney, announces that 32 year old Mitchell Kirksey was sentenced to eight years in the Illinois Department of Corrections for the offense of Aggravated Possession of Stolen Firearms pursuant to a negotiated plea in front of the Honorable Judge Prather on Jan. 17, 2019.

In June of 2018, numerous firearms were reported missing from a

McHenry residence. An investigation by the McHenry County Sheriff’s Office revealed that Mitchell Kirksey and a co-defendant stole the firearms from a residence where they were staying. The co-defendant’s case is still pending.

The case was investigated by members of the McHenry County Sheriff’s Office. This case was prosecuted by Assistant State’s Attorney Rita Gara.

impact of the Great War cannot be overestimated. It resulted in the destruction of empires (Germany, Russia, Austria-Hungary); caused “shell shock” in the soldiers; led to the military draft (Britain in 1916 and the U.S. in 1917); introduced new weapons of war (the airplane, tank, submarine, machine gun, and poison gas); contributed to anti-war protests, a woman’s right to vote, medical breakthroughs, and an influenza pandemic; and led to the rise of the United States as a great power.

Explore the legacy of WWI focusing on one - or more - of the aforementioned topics. How did it impact the people of Illinois and McHenry County? How did it change us as a society? What lessons does the “war to end all wars,” as President Wilson called it, hold for the future?

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.

Patrick D. Kenneally, McHenry County State’s Attorney, announces that 38-year-old Jaynell J. Ross of Rockford, Ill., was sentenced to 12 years and 6 months in the Illinois Department of Corrections for the Class X felony offense of Drug Induced Homicide following a sentencing hearing before the Honorable Judge James Cowlin. Under Truth in Sentencing Guidelines, Ross must serve 75% of the sentence imposed.

Additionally, Ross’ McHenry County sentence will run consecutive to a six-year sentence which he received on Nov. 14, 2018 in Winnebago County, Illinois, for a violation of the Illinois Controlled Substances Act. In July of 2017, Andrew Giblin of McHenry County was found deceased. Giblin’s death was later determined to be as the result of the adverse effects of heroin and cocaine ingestion.

An investigation into the death of Giblin was commenced by the Narcotics Unit of the Office of the McHenry County Sheriff. Leads derived by the Sheriff’s department resulted in a multi-jurisdictional investigation where Jaynell Ross was subsequently identified as the person who delivered the drugs which caused Giblin’s death.

The McHenry County Sheriff’s Office was assisted in the investigation by the Rockford Police Department. As part of the multijurisdictional collaboration, undercover purchases of heroin were made from Ross resulting in criminal charges in Winnebago County for those acts.

The case was prosecuted by John T. Gibbons, Chief of the Criminal Division of the Office of the McHenry County State’s Attorney. The case was investigated by the McHenry County Sheriff’s Office.

English discrepancies: How does anyone ever learn it?

The English language is a formidable beast, even for those of us who learned it as our first language. Language is all about meaning – communication. And sometimes context and inflection can completely change the meaning of a word or phrase. Add to this the overall goofiness of English.

Why is it that bird, heard and word rhyme all the time but love, stove and move do not? Add to this the dove duality – when you see the word does it refer to the bird or the past tense of dive? None of it makes sense and yet I’ve dedicated my career (and life practically) to words and the English language.

Lifesavers recognized

HUNTLEY PD PHOTO McHenry County News

At last week’s Village of Huntley, Illinois Board meeting, Officers Kummer, Larkin and Rowe were presented with Life Saving Award medals for direct actions that saved the life of another human being. The awards are a result of two separate calls for service where to the responding officers found victims of a drug overdose. HPD officers are all trained on and carry an opioid reversal drug known as narcan. Officers deployed their narcan and the victims recovered to be treated by Huntley Fire Protection District professionals. We commend these officers on the actions taken to save these two lives. While narcan is a powerful tool to reverse overdose symptoms, we encourage everyone to be aware of the resources available before an overdose occurs. If you or someone you know is struggling with addiction, please know help is available. You can call 211 (a free service that is available 24/7) to find help with drug problems as well as many other resources in our area.

But the few that went first took different paths to get there

By Grant Morgan CAPITOL NEWS ILLINOIS

As it considers raising its minimum wage to $15 an hour, Illinois has a few examples to follow.

Wednesday, the Illinois Senate Labor Committee had a hearing on raising Illinois’ minimum wage from $8.25 to $15. There is no agreement on how long the transition would take, or if it should be done uniformly statewide.

Legislation could be sent to the Senate floor as early as next Wednesday.

Raising the minimum This year began with 18 states having new, higher minimum wages.

Of those, eight wage increases were automatic cost-of-living adjustments.

The other 10 were the result of specific legislation, according to the National Confederation of State Legislatures.

But only three states and Washington, D.C., have approved the significant jump to $15 an hour. And each of those states has done it differently.

Consider California, which was the first state to pass such legislation in 2016. There, it will take 6 years – by Jan. 1, 2022, for the statewide minimum hourly wage to reach $15.

The nation’s capital also passed legislation in 2016, with a slightly shorter timeline of four years.

New York, on the other hand, took a geographical approach. Passing its legislation in 2016, wages in New York City are already $15 an hour for businesses with 11 or more employees. By the end of 2019, that rate will extend to all businesses in New York City, while Long Island and Westchester County will have a $15 minimum wage by the end of 2021.

But in the rest of the state, the minimum wage will increase to only $12.50 an hour by the end of 2020.

Massachusetts Massachusetts is the most recent state to pass a $15-an-hour minimum wage. It’s plan, approved last year, takes 5 years to complete. The first increase – from $11 an hour to $12 – kicked in this year.

Andrew Farnitano helped lead the campaign to raise Massachusetts’ minimum wage - twice. The first time was in 2014, when his organization, RaiseUp Massachusetts, found success in legislation that increased the wage from $8 to $11 within three years.

Immediately after, Farnitano’s organization began campaigning for an increase to $15 an hour, succeeding in June 2018.

Farnitano says what happened after the first round of raises was the opposite of what many people and groups, especially business associations, expected.

“As the minimum wage went up, we saw massive job growth, a stronger economy, and the biggest drops

in unemployment in the communities where the most people, some 30 or 40 percent of workers, benefitted from the increase,” Farnitano said.

Farnitano added that, rather than shutting down or downsizing, many employers had a hard time filling available positions.

“In Massachusetts, there’s places where low-wage workers can’t survive on $11 an hour,” Farnitano said, referencing 2017’s minimum wage.

“So they move somewhere else, and then those businesses can’t find people to fill those jobs after.”

Christopher Carlozzi, state director for the Massachusetts branch of the National Federation of Independent Businesses, had competing arguments about the effects of a higher wage.

“Even though we’ve only done the first increase to $12 an hour, we’re already starting to see the effects,” Carlozzi said. “Directly after the new year, there was a string of restaurant closures in Boston itself [citing labor costs].

“We’re especially concerned about the areas outside Boston where you can’t charge $15 for a sandwich at lunch,” he said. “Businesses either have to raise their prices, start reducing workforce hours, or cut or not create new jobs.”

Making comparisons There are no exceptions in the Massachusetts minimum wage law: In a few years, it will be $15 an hour for all employees, regardless of age, experience, or region.

Mark Grant, who heads the Illinois branch of NFIB and testified at Wednesday’s hearing, says Illinois cannot handle a universal minimum wage like Massachusetts.

“The Chicago region is a completely different kind of region than everything outside of it,” Grant said. “Our main concern is the businesses that are outside it – would they be able to deal with a $15 minimum?”

As such, Grant says Illinois would need a regional system like New York has, where different areas have different wage floors depending on many economic factors.

Grant also talked of keeping Illinois’ “teen wage” – a lower wage for teenage workers – which could lighten the load on small businesses having to adjust to higher wages.

Farnitano, however, said that one of the best parts of Massachusetts’ bill was not having a teen wage, so that “employers could not cycle through a new teen worker every six months.”

Another variable is to make different minimum wage timelines for different-sized businesses, which happened in California. There, the threshold is on businesses with 25 employees. Those with fewer than 25 have an extra year until the $15 rate kicks in, making a seven-year, which was a number floated during Wednesday’s Illinois Senate committee hearing.

There are also concessions that can be made to the business community, particularly small businesses.

Carlozzi discussed these concessions as part of a “grand bargain” in Massachusetts, where businesses were provided some relief to help accommodate higher labor costs. They included a statewide sales tax holiday, and elimination of time-and-a-half pay on Sundays.

Minimum wage hike likely Though Grant’s organization, NFIB, is in “full opposition” to raising Illinois’ minimum wage to $15 an hour, he admits that it will likely happen.

“We have to be ready to negotiate,” Grant said. “The governor wants it, and he’s got a legislature that’s more than willing to help him do that.”

Illinois isn’t the only state considering a minimum wage increase.

Thursday, the New Jersey Legislature passed $15-an-hour minimum-wage legislation, to be phased in over five years. New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy is expected to sign the bill.
