Former village manager thanks Huntley

“As you might imagine, I started this thank you message multiple times. I had a couple pages of rambling, incoherent thoughts, that I thought made sense, but didn’t. So I am going to keep this short and sweet because in the end it’s pretty simple.

Here it goes.

“Thank you, Huntley. This Village means the world to me. Outside of my family and friends, there is nothing that means more to me. My passion for serving you drove me each and every day.

I am grateful for being a part of so many projects in this Village. I won’t even try to name them. Some were much more prominent than others, but all I know is the ones that were most satisfying to me were the ones that built homes for people to live in.

Now, I watch children playing in yards and neighbors talking with one another, and I think back to when these areas were farm fields. Now they are neighborhoods! How cool is

that? 28,000 neighbors and growing!

Being part of building a community that people call home is no job at all.

It is incredibly satisfying.

Likewise, being a part of a successful team is one of the best feelings in the world! My Huntley teams were many and included: The Mayor and Village Board, the Employees, the incredible leadership and department heads of this Village, the HAART group, the Elected Officials of the other public bodies, the Chamber, Businesses and most importantly the Residents.

“I can’t stress enough that the great things that have happened in this community and will happen in the future are because of the unselfish team work of all the people that make up these teams. I thank you all for letting me be a part of your team.

“This was never a job to me. Don’t get me wrong, I was compensated very well, and I will forever be indebted to this Village for taking care

of me and my family. However, this position was a calling for me, and I approached it that way every day.

“And speaking of my approach, for those who know me best, you know that I am hyper- competitive and hate losing. Perhaps, it wasn’t the healthiest thing in the world, but every day on this job was an internal competition with myself to take this Village to a higher level.

“Now, I am rambling again. So I am going to stop. Huntley, thank you for taking a chance on me. I will forever be appreciative for all that we accomplished together.

“I look forward to seeing you all at a concert on the square this summer. If you don’t see me, I might be the guy sitting off to the side soaking it all in and beaming with pride over the community we have built together!

“Thank you, Huntley for allowing me to sit in this chair and be a part of your team!”

Help for those struggling to make payments on their debts due to COVID-19 The Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation has announced a series of actions to ensure the protection of Illinoisans in many areas of consumer borrowing, servicing and collections.

The department also provided guidance to its regulated entities, state banks, credit unions, installment lenders, payday lenders, title loan lenders, sales finance lenders including auto loans, currency exchanges, student loan servicers, mortgage servicers, and collection agencies concerning their lending, servicing, and collection during the COVID-19 pandemic.

IDFPR guidance for state banks and

credit unions and help for their consumers.

The Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation (IDFPR), Division of Banking and Division of Financial Institutions strongly urges banks and credit unions to respond to borrowers affected by the current economic environment, such as small businesses, hourly workers and independent contractors.

Although IDFPR is aware that many state banks and credit unions are already providing modifications, forbearances and new loans to consumers and businesses, IDFPR is encouraging all banks and credit unions to consider

taking the following actions: • Offering payment accommodations (such as allowing borrowers to defer payments at no cost or extending the payment due dates).

• Providing new loans on favorable terms to businesses and consumers.

• Waiving certain fees (such as those for ATM usage, overdrafting and late payments on credits cards and other loans).

• Increasing ATM daily cash withdrawal limits.

• Easing restrictions on cashing outof-state and non-customer checks.

Historical society to chronicle COVID-19 pandemic The coronavirus pandemic is arguably the single most deadly health threat to hit the world since the flu outbreak of 1918.

It has sickened more than a million people, killed close to 100,000, ground economies to a halt, shuttered businesses, docked boats, grounded airplanes and effectively ended college and professional sports. And it has created a new normal for people across all walks of life, a world where people wear masks, buy meals at the curb and remain largely isolated in their homes.

The McHenry County Historical Society & Museum has launched a new COVID-19 questionnaire designed to chronicle the lives of McHenry County people during this game-changing event. As with 9/11, the society wants to know how this virus has affected your daily lives and what adjustments you’ve been forced to make in order to remain safe … and still respond to the demands of home and work.

To participate, visit the www.gothistory.org homepage. Images showing how you’ve been coping – from playing board games, to relying on social media to video conferencing with co-workers – are welcome. After all, we’re “all in” in Illinois.

The high school was built in 1896 replacing an earlier school. The school served all eight grades and high school students until consolidation with Hebron after the 1947-48 year. Only 16 families lived in the district in 1894. In 1922, enrollment at that time stood at 67 students. In the 1930’s and early 1940’s, the three rooms on the first floor contained 1st – 4th grades, 5th – 8th grades, and the high school room.

The upper floor contained an assembly hall, typing room and a math room. Playground equipment included a teeter-totter, swings, and baseball equipment.

So your school is practicing remote Driver services extended learning – what does it mean for you? again, says White

By Jerry Nowicki CAPITOL NEWS ILLINOIS

Public K-12 schools statewide were instructed to begin remote learning days March 31 until in-person instruction can resume, and standardized testing in the state is canceled for the year as well.

Illinois Superintendent of Education Dr. Carmen Ayala was given the authority to define and give guidance on remote learning days in a recent executive order signed

by Gov. JB Pritzker in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

All schools public and private will be closed through at least April 30 after Pritzker announced March 31 he would extend an executive order that had previously closed them through April 7. The Illinois State Board of Education’s remote learning guidance applies to public schools but the state’s nonpublic schools are encouraged to use it to inform similar programs, according to an ISBE guidance document.

“Remote learning will look different for every district and maybe even for every school.

School districts will create plans based upon their local resources and their needs,” Pritzker said at a COVID-19 news conference March 31 in Chicago.

Ayala wrote in a letter posted to ISBE’s website that remote learning recommendations “strongly encourage” local districts to adopt grading models of “pass or incomplete” that “embrace the principle of ‘no educational harm to any child.’”

The remote learning guidance is based on recommendations from a 63-member advisory group of teachers, students, paraprofessionals, related service personnel, principals, and district and regional superintendents. Each district is to interpret the guidance individually and come up with a plan that fits their district.

The emergency rules on remote learning days allow for e-learning or other kinds of remote learning

days, which must be approved by the school’s or district’s superintendent or chief administrator.

A district’s remote learning plan must consider: student access to remote or online instruction; that activities reflect state learning standards when applicable; the means by which students confer with an educator as needed; the unique needs of students in special populations; and the transition from remote learning to on-site learning when remote days are no longer necessary.

Per the guidance, remote learning can be “real-time or flexibility timed,” and it “may or may not involve technology.”

“It cannot be assumed that every family or every student has access to the necessary devices and appropriate internet connection at their home. In many cases, students categorized as ‘at risk’ by schools are the ones without access to devices or reliable internet,” according to the guidance.

Per the recommendations, students should have the opportunity to “redo, make up, or try again to complete, show progress, or attempt to complete work assigned prior to the remote learning period in that time frame.”

“We continue to be awed by the phenomenal creativity, resilience, empathy, and problem-solving prowess of Illinois’ educators, administrators, and students,” Ayala said in a news release. “The stories we see every day on social media, in the news, and in our email show us just how focused our educators are on supporting our children in this time of crisis.”

The full remote learning recommendations can be viewed at www. isbe.net/Documents/RL-Recommendations-3-27-20.pdf.

Schools are also allotted up to five “Remote Learning Planning Days” after March 30 to plan in partnership with their collective bargaining units.

The remote learning and planning days count as actual student

New residents welcomed

attendance days toward the required minimum for a school year and will not need to be made up, just like “Act of God” days, which is how cancelled school days were counted from March 17 to March 30.

Teachers and other public school staff will continue to be paid as part of a deal between education associations and unions negotiated by the Pritzker administration and ISBE, and state funding from the evidence-based formula will be unaffected.

The same executive order pertaining to remote learning days also canceled testing requirements in the state, including for the SAT. A release from the ISBE said it recognizes that the free SAT offered by the state is often the only opportunity for students to take a college entrance exam, and it is working on plans to allow 11th grade students to take the SAT in the fall.

ISBE also released a joint guidance statement with the Illinois Board of Higher Education and Illinois Community College Board on dual credit courses.

It stated, “Dual credit instruction should continue, if at all possible, during the suspension of in-person instruction, or resume as soon as possible, to ensure students are able to meet the objectives of the dual credit course. However, that instruction must not negatively impact a student’s academic standing.”

For AP classes, for the 2019-20 exam administration only, students may take a 45-minute online exam at home “on any device they have access to—computer, tablet, or smartphone,” per another guidance document from ISBE. That document said questions are designed in ways that prevent cheating, and the College Board is using a range of digital security tools and techniques, including plagiarism detection software.

The McHenry Area Chamber offers members the opportunity to reach out to an untapped market—new residents. New residents are eager to learn about their new community and local products and services available. Through the “Welcome to Your New Home” program, businesses can capitalize on the credibility of the Chamber to influence recent arrivals to “Shop Chamber Members First.”

Here is how the program works: Each month, new residents receive a hand-delivered package loaded with promotional items and brochures created especially with them in mind. The bag bears the logo: “Welcome to Your New Home! Coupons and Gifts sponsored by the McHenry Area Chamber of Commerce.” Sponsor businesses provide promotional items, brochures, coupons, or samples and pay only $1 per package (approximately 30 packages are delivered each month). The chamber sends the sponsor business a complete list (with names and addresses) of the new residents who received the packages that month. To participate in this program, contact Jeannette Knowles at jeannette@mchenrychamber.com.

Illinois Secretary of State Jesse White on Friday, April 10, announced his office filed emergency rules extending expiration dates for driver’s licenses, identification (ID) cards, vehicle registrations and other transactions and document filings for at least 90 days after Driver Services facilities reopen. The previous extension was for 30 days.

“Extending expiration dates by at least 90 days after Driver Services facilities reopen is the right thing to do,” said White. “It will ensure driver’s licenses, ID cards and vehicle registrations remain valid during this pandemic and will help alleviate the rush of customers visiting facilities once they reopen.”

Following Gov. Pritzker’s stay-at-home order, White closed Driver Services facilities to the public through April 30. While facilities are closed to the public, White is encouraging residents to go to www.cyberdriveillinois.com to take advantage of many online services – such as renewing vehicle registration stickers – from the comfort of their own home. People who conduct online transactions will further help to reduce the number of face-to-face transactions that will occur at Driver Services facilities once they reopen.

Some of these online services include: • Renewing a vehicle registration • Applying for a vehicle title and registration • Obtaining a duplicate driver’s license or ID card; • Obtaining a driving record abstract • Renewing a standard driver’s license with the Safe Driver Renewal program “My commitment is to do everything we can to help protect the health and safety of our residents, while still providing services to the people of Illinois,” said White. “This will, and must, continue to be the guiding principle of our decision making.”

Find a baby bird? Here’s what to do Or not do, says wildlife refuge system

The Friends of Hackmatack National Wildlife Refuge shared the following information from the USFWS Wildlife Refuge System: “During the spring and summer, wildlife refuges, parks, zoos and veterinary clinics across the country are presented with a problem.

“People working in their yards, walking on trails or visiting other outdoor sites find a baby bird that cannot yet fly. It seems apparent that there are no adult birds tending to the youngster, so people immediately assume that the fledgling needs help.

So they scoop up the bird, put it in a cardboard box and bring it to the nearest facility they can think of to save the youngster.

“Sadly, this act of kindness probably does more harm than good. We at the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service want to help you be prepared and know how to handle this situation for the best possible results.

Fledglings: Leave them be “The vast majority of baby birds brought to these facilities are fledglings. This means that the babies have grown to the point at which they are just too big for their nest and need room to move around, flap their wings, and learn to fly.

“In addition, because their parents built the nest, laid the eggs and fed the babies for a couple of weeks, predators may be homing in on the nest site by now. If the babies leave the nest and disperse into the sur-

rounding vegetation, they can avoid predators. The parent birds keep track of the babies using certain types of calls. When the baby responds, the adults bring food to the baby.

“Nearly everyone has heard the tale that you don’t touch a baby bird or the parents will smell your scent and not return. While completely false, this tale has probably saved countless birds. We must trust the parents to raise the next generation; they have been doing this successfully for millions of years.

“If they can hop and flutter about

Negligent discharge of firearm in Marengo On April 2, at approximately 1100 hours, the Marengo Police and Marengo Fire & Rescue districts responded to Marengo Guns, 20014 E. Grant Hwy., for a reported discharge of a firearm with injury.

Officers located a male subject suffering from a minor injury, who was subsequently transported to the hospital for treatment. It was determined that the male subject, who was a customer

of the store, was attempting to holster the firearm when he accidently discharged it, striking himself in the hand.

An ordinance violation for Discharge of Firearm was issued to Randolph Illg, 73, of Union.

The Marengo Police Department would like to remind the public that any charges are merely accusations and all persons are presumed innocent unless proven guilty.

on their own, leave them alone. This principle applies to other animals including deer fawns, baby rabbits, raccoons and opossums.

Nestlings: Likely need help “A smaller number of birds found by homeowners are truly nestlings.

They are mostly featherless and sometimes the eyes are not yet open. They were probably blown from a nest, or

the nest was destroyed. Without assistance, these birds will probably die.

“The best thing that could be done is to place the baby back in the nest, if there is one. If you encounter nestlings in your yard, look for a nest within a few yards of where you found the bird. If you can safely replace the nestling, do so as soon as you can. If you are in a natural area,

park or refuge, it is probably best to leave everything alone.

“Most birds are not 100 percent successful in raising a brood each year. Predators often raid nests before the eggs hatch or while babies are still helpless. Nests can fail if they aren’t properly built or they’re placed it in an unprotected location.

Licensed wildlife rehabilitators “If you find some nestlings and the nest has blown down in your yard, where can you take them? Most parks and refuges are not set up to be wildlife rehabilitators. It takes very special people with special skills and proper permits to successfully raise infant wildlife to the point they can be released into the wild.

“If you want to help nestlings survive, search for a wildlife rehabilitator near you. Many state conservation agencies keep a list of licensed wildlife rehabilitators, but it’s not always easy to find one. Researching local rehabilitators before you need one is a smart option.

“Remember, the best thing you can do for the birds is to not interfere with Mother Nature; she will take care of them. Tell your children not to touch them, and if your children bring you a baby bird, help them return it to where it was found.”

Love your siblings

On the lighter side: Friday, April 10, was National Siblings Day. In some bird species, such as bald eagles, siblings compete for resources and sometimes the older/larger sibling will push the other out of the nest. So, says the McHenry County Conservation District, be thankful for your own siblings, because it could have been worse! Share this with a sibling you would never toss out of your nest (even if you’ve thought about it on occasion).

Historical society programs canceled

The McHenry County Historical Society released the following information: “Note on COVID-19 — The museum and offices of the McHenry County Historical Society remain closed, as we adhere to the governor’s stay-at-home order. The latest extension of that order means that the White Elephant flash sales (April 24-25), the museum opening (May 1) and the Ghost Town bus tour (May 23) have been canceled.

“Additional program cancellations likely are in the offing, as this medical emergency drags on. We will continue to check emails and periodically check on voice messages. Even though our office is temporarily closed to the public and scheduled programming has been disrupted by the coronavirus outbreak, we are working hard to ready ourselves when this health emergency ends.

“And it will end. History underscores the fact that Americans are a resilient lot. In the meantime, we invite you to continue your historical education online at GotHistory.org or follow us on Facebook and Instagram for most up to date museum information. Be well.”

County road projects begin April 20 Work will soon begin to mill and resurface two stretches of county highway.

Resurfacing will start April 20 with a completion date of June 5, weather permitting. The roads being milled and resurfaced are Chapel Hill Road from Bay Road to the Chapel Hill Road bridge, and Bull Valley Road from Crystal Lake Road to the Union Pacific-Northwest railroad tracks.

The pavement preservation projects are part of the McHenry County Division of Transportation’s annual paving program to maintain the quality of its more than 550 lane miles by milling existing surfaces, laying new asphalt, placing shoulder stone, and painting new pavement markings.

Peter Baker & Son Co., of Lake Bluff, was awarded the $759,000 bid in October 2019.

Motorists should be prepared for lane closures and delays while work is in progress. Please watch out for workers in work zones, obey workzone speed limits, and never text and drive. We appreciate your patience as we strive to maintain our county highways.

You can keep abreast of county road projects by liking the county on Facebook at www.facebook.com/ mchenrycountydot, and by following us on Twitter at @DOTMcHenry. You can learn more about the county, and check out an interactive map of ongoing and upcoming projects, by visiting www.mchenrycountydot.org.
