Always something to do in Union

By Anne Eickstadt EDITOR

The weekend of July 13 and 14 was blistering hot but it didn’t slow down the hordes of people who came to enjoy everything that was happening in Union, Ill. On Friday, the village wide, weekend-long Garage Sales began, bringing the bargain hunters into town. On Saturday, Marengo’s FFA Alumni held a 19-mile Tractor Ride to raise funds for the high school program, the kids, and scholarships. At the same time, on the edge of town, Thomas the Tank Engine drew thousands of people to ride the trains and enjoy the Thomas experience at the Illinois Railway Museum. On Sunday, the McHenry County Historical Museum, in downtown Union, held their annual Heritage Day events with activities, entertainment, and a car show.

The Marengo FFA Alumni usually does a 20-mile ride beginning at Clasen’s Tavern, but, with Thomas the Tank Engine in town, they altered their route to go around the Illinois Railway Museum instead of past it.

“55 total tractors and drivers participated, 19 miles traveled. All funds raised will go to the general fund of the Marengo FFA Alumni for our scholarship and to supplement funds for supplies, awards, and trips for the agricultural education department at MCHS,” said Adam Roth, president.

Meanwhile, at the Illinois Railway Museum (which was expecting thousands of people to arrive) one of the outside food vendors had a family emergency and could not be there for the weekend, leaving a gaping hole in their thorough plans.

Chester Mazurkiewicz of the IRM said, “Ron Onesti bailed out the Illinois Railway Museum the day of the Thomas opening, due to a family emergency of a previous vendor, by providing his food service tent. Mr. Onesti is on board to work with the Marengo-Union

and McHenry County communities, and to bring professionalism as needed, to enhance a better relationship.

“Onesti started out in silk screening many years ago in Chicago. He has always been a public servant and has involved himself in community affairs. He is the owner of Arcadia Theaters in St. Charles and Evanston. He is presently in partnership with Donley’s Wild West Town and Rockabilly Café. He dedicates most of his time in keeping involved with communities and providing community service.”

“Just like the Wild West Town,” Ron Onesti said. “This (MarengoUnion area) is enchanted waters for me. I was unaware of the magic out here. This is one of those things where you open a small door, not knowing what’s on the other side, and you are totally floored by what’s there. It’s an amazing thing.

“It has opened my eyes to what is in this area. I just can’t wait to be a part of it and do my best to increase awareness of what is going on out here.”

Once he get the SOS call from the IRM, Onesti pulled off a miracle and put together an entire food service tent, complete with sufficient food and staff, to serve the crowds at the ever-popular Day

Out with Thomas event, on the morning of opening day. Impressive.

The temperatures on Sunday, July 14, matched Saturday’s oppressive heat, but still did not deter the guests for the McHenry County

Historical Museum’s Heritage Fair.

The theme for this year was ‘Go with the Flow’ and had a ‘60s flower power feel. (Groovy, man.) Tie dyed shirts abounded and the ladies in the Children’s craft area were making braided headbands along

with other fun crafts and games.

The train whistle could be heard frequently over the DJ’s music for the car show as both huge events were held within a mile of each other. The Clef Hangers serenaded Heritage Fair guests; Freddy Fredricks & Friends performed magic; Russ Davis called the live auction; the Home-Baked Pie Contest was judged; the Bake Sale got even more interest when people found out they were serving ice cream with the pie (when requested); the Garden Glitz Plant Sale did a brisk business as did the White Elephant Sale; the Cake Walk had a full circle of competitors; Boy Scout Troop 153 of Woodstock grilled brats and burgers; the Kettle Korn and Kona Ice vendors did business and the Garage Sales continued.

If you missed all the excitement in Union, you missed a lot. Put the weekend on your calendar for next year and get out for a full weekend of family fun for all ages.

The Best of Show winner was Bob Thomson of Woodstock, recognized for his 1969 Pontiac Firebird.

26 Northern Illinois communities awarded environmental grants ComEd, Openlands Annual Green Region Program powers sustainability with more than $200,000 in funding for open-space projects

To support habitats and other openspace projects throughout northern Illinois, ComEd and Openlands today announced grants to 26 public agencies through the annual ComEd Green Region Program. Grantees receive up to $10,000 each to plan, acquire, and improve local parks, natural areas, and recreation resources. Some grants focus on enhancing pollinator habitats and protecting pollinator species, such as butterflies and bees.

“Together with our partners at Openlands, we are proud to support organizations that are making meaningful differences to restore and enhance natural habitats and biodiversity,” said Melissa Washington, Vice President of Governmental and External Affairs at ComEd. “It’s the perfect balance of meeting our future energy needs and powering a brighter and more sustainable future for our customers and the communities we serve.”

Since the inception of the Green Region Program in 2013, ComEd has awarded more than $1.3 million to municipalities across northern Illinois to help fund their open-space projects.

ComEd provides the funding, and Openlands, one of the oldest metropolitan conservation organizations in the nation, administers the grants to local communities.

“The ComEd Green Region Program is an important commitment to sustainability across northern Illinois and a commitment to providing residents with access to natural open spaces,” said Jerry Adelmann, President and CEO of Openlands. “Over the last seven years, we’ve seen how the Green Region Program has helped communities enhance many parks and trails for learning, enjoyment, and supporting wildlife, and the support from ComEd has been vital. We extend our gratitude to ComEd, and we want to thank the many partners who have implemented these projects across the region.”

Due to a recent decline in pollinators throughout northern Illinois, and strong interest in pollinator conservation, the 2019 Green Region projects again focus on advancing and protecting the region’s essential pollinator species. Earlier this year, public agencies from across communities that ComEd serves submitted grant applications, which were then reviewed by an advisory committee composed of county government officials and members of the region’s conservation community.

Additional information on the ComEd Green Region Program can be found at Openlands.org/GreenRegion.

The 26 ComEd Green Region Program grant recipients for 2019 are: -Woods Creek Headwaters Pollinator Project (Village of Algonquin): This project will improve the ecological health of six acres of sedge meadow wetlands for the benefit of native pollinator species. It includes invasive phragmites removal, native

sedge meadow interseeding, and public education.

-Restoration along the Fox River in Downtown Aurora (City of Aurora): This project will restore native flora along the Fox River, to create a buffer between the river and adjacent impervious pavements, especially public parking lots. The restored site will intercept surface runoff, thereby reducing pollutants flowing into the river, and provide a habitat for native species of birds and insect pollinators.

-Lily Cache Beneficial Insect and Pollinator Habitat Restoration Project (Bolingbrook Park District): This project involves the development of six pods, ranging in size from one-quarter to two acres, to provide essential habitat for the life cycle completion of native beneficial insects and pollinators.

-Pollinator Habitat Establishment at Sewell Conservation Area (Boone County Conservation District): This project will establish 17 acres of new habitat to benefit both pollinators and conservation area visitors for years to come. This agricultural conversion is part of a 200-acre conservation area that will become a high-quality wetland within the Kishwaukee River watershed in northern Illinois.

-Glenbriar Park Phase II (Butterfield Park District): This project will complete the second and final phase of a park project entitled Glenbriar Park Expansion.

This land has already been acquired and prepared for development, and the grant will support installation of a shelter, looped walking trails, and a pollinator garden.

-Increasing Plant Biodiversity to Support Pollinators at West Pullman Park Natural Area (Chicago Park District): This project will improve the West Pullman Park Natural Area for people and wildlife through the installation of native woody and herbaceous plants to increase biodiversity and provide an abundance of food sources for pollinators. Interpretive signage will also be installed to explain the impacts of the improved habitat conditions.

-Doerhoffer and Whitlock Park Detention Area Plantings (Downers Grove Park District): This project involves taking two currently mowed detention basins and converting them to native vegetation.

It includes initial herbicide applications and the installation of native seed, native plugs, and interpretive signage. The project eliminates mowing, and provides enhanced habitat, improved water quality, educational opportunities, and the opportunity for passive park uses.

-Fox Valley Park District Pollinator Recovery Project (Fox Valley Park District): This project will expand pollinator habitat and food sources, while increasing regional native vegetation presence. The Stuart Sports Complex portion of the project will connect existing prairie by converting nearly 20 acres of turf grass into native wild-

habitat to educate visitors on the significance of Illinois native plants and the pollinators that inhabit them. Improvements include native plantings, an educational kiosk, and signage to empower visitors to partake in the conservation mission and vision.

-Rock River Parks and Open Space Plan (Village of Machesney Park): This project will create a parks and open space plan for 63 acres along the Rock River in Machesney Park.

-Kelly Park Accessible (ADA) Improvements (Village of Orland Hills): This project will provide access from the Kelly Park Walking Pathway to two new asphalt sectional pathways, which continue to two paved gazebos/picnic shelters. Under each paved gazebo, new ADA accessible picnic tables will be installed. The Kelly Park Accessible Improvements are designed to increase accessibility for all patrons to enjoy the park areas.

-Ashcroft Lake Native Shoreline Restoration (Oswegoland Park District): This project will restore the exposed mud flats of a lowered lake water table, per village requirements. It will also re-establish emergent, water-level, and upland areas around the lake with native plugs and seed.

-Village of Palos Park Pollinator Garden Project (Village of Palos Park): This project will convert part of Centennial Park into a pollinator garden, with emphasis on native plants that provide food and habitat for pollinators. An informational kiosk, benches, and water features will inform visitors of the garden’s ecological importance and create a relaxing ambiance.

-Maine Park Pollinator Garden (Park Ridge Park District): This project will revitalize the main entrance to Maine Park Leisure Center and Preschool. Improvements include the installation of a pollinator garden with two educational signs and themed hardscape and native plants selected to attract pollinators. The intent is to provide a habitat for pollinator species utilizing a balance of host plants, nectar plants, and shelter plants, increase awareness and interest in pollinator gardens, and provide an educational opportunity for students and patrons through signage and potential future programming.

-Parkways for Pollinators (Village of River Forest - Sustainability Commission): This project will transform resident parkways into native plant oases, which mitigate flooding through deep root natives. It will also provide habitats for butterflies, hummingbirds, and other pollinators, expand the village’s Native Garden Corridor, involve families in fun planting activities, and educate residents about the benefits of natural garden and lawn care.

-Village of Romeoville’s Wetland Pollinator Initiative (Village of Romeoville Parks & Recreation Department): This project will convert degraded wetlands and storm water management basins into diverse native plant communities. These areas will expand critical habitat and food sources for pollinators, while increas-

flower-enriched prairie, which is crucial to the survival of pollinators.

-Canoe Launch Access Road and Trail Improvements (City of Genoa): This project will provide a paved trail that connects Citizens Park to additional nature trails, native prairies, wetlands, and the DeKalb County Forest Preserve. The paved access road will also provide a better road surface for vehicles and pedestrians when accessing the canoe launch and adjacent amenities in Citizens Park.

-Pollinators for Park Pointe (City of Harvard): This project will restore a portion of one of the city’s parks to a natural and native pollinator park. This project is beneficial in helping to promote an educational outdoor experience for the community as a whole.

-Healthy Hedges to Replace Buckthorn - Old Barrington Road (Village of Lake Barrington): This project will demonstrate an alternative to buckthorn and encourage residents to do the same on their private property. Buckthorn is linked to declining populations of songbirds and the disappearance of native ecosystems. Removing and replacing buckthorn with native trees, shrubs, grasses, and flowers provides habitat to support wildlife.

Restoration and Transformation: -The Making of a Local Arboretum from a Forgotten Park (Village of Lake Zurich): This project will direct resources into nearly eight acres of vastly underutilized village park to rebrand the space as a conservation arboretum, with a focus on oak preservation, invasive species, and the importance of pollinators. The Village plans to work with community volunteers and nonprofit organizations to rehabilitate an abandoned walking trail and remove invasive buckthorn and huckleberry.

Pollinator vegetation, picnic tables, benches, and three interpretive-learning kiosk stations with individual play-pocket areas will be installed as part of the project. The Village will also install a new entry sign for Kuechmann Arboretum.

-Northwest Illinois Aerial Combat Memorial (Village of Lena): This project will support improvements to a local military memorial park, including the addition of an F-4 Phantom jet on a pylon as the park’s centerpiece. Other improvements will include brick walkways, trees, grass, bushes, benches, a flagpole, didactic placards, light standards, and a threefoot brick wall along the back.

-Hastings Butterfly Path (Village of Lindenhurst): This project will enable public access to Lake County Forest Preserve District’s Hastings Lake preserves via a connective trail to be bordered by native plants. This pathway will benefit both the community and pollinators by extending the forest preserve’s green corridor.

-Pollinator Habitat Garden at Terrace View Park (Lombard Park District): This project will transform an area of Terrace View Park into a pollinator

McHenry County College to get speed signs

The MCC Police Department conducted a traffic study, which concluded that only 51 percent of the drivers obeyed the speed limit on McHenry County College Circle (Ring Road).

The study also showed that 17 percent of the vehicles were traveling between 31 and 45 mph. Excessive speeds in campus parking lots are extremely dangerous to other drivers and pedestrians. Statistics show a pedestrian hit by a vehicle traveling at 40 mph has a 90% fatality rate; at 20 mph the fatality rate decreases to 10%. To slow down drivers; Campus Police will be utilizing a speed display sign at different locations on McHenry County College Circle and Tartan Road.

Studies showed the following advantages of deploying a speed display sign: • They produce a 10-20 percent reduction in the average roadway speeds.

• Speeders will slow down up to 80 percent of the time when alerted by a speed display sign.

• Overall compliance with the posted speed limit increases by 30-60 percent.

The sign is a traffic calming solution to raise speed awareness of oncoming drivers.

Girl Scouts launches 42 new badges to mobilize girls to change the world percent).

In addition to existing badge offerings, girls in grades 6 through 12 can now pursue: - Nine Cybersecurity badges, through which girls learn about the inner workings of computer technology and cybersecurity and apply concepts of safety and protection to the technology they use every day.

Activities range from decrypting and encrypting messages, to learning proper protection methods for devices, to exploring real-world hacking scenarios (funded by Palo Alto Networks).

- Three Space Science badges, through which girls explore topics such as the universe and their place in it, properties of light, and inspiring careers in space science (funded

by NASA’s Science Mission Directorate and led by the SETI Institute).

- Think Like a Citizen Scientist, a Girl Scout Leadership Journey during which girls participate in interactive activities to practice observation techniques; collect data; and share their findings with realworld scientists through an online network. As with all of Girl Scouts’ Leadership Journeys, girls use their newly honed skills to take action on a community issue of their choosing (funded by Johnson & Johnson and The Coca-Cola Foundation).

- To prepare girls in grades 6

through 12 to pursue computer science careers, Girl Scouts will launch the organization’s first Cyber Challenge events in select areas this fall.

At these events, which will take place Oct. 19, girls will learn crucial cybersecurity skills by completing challenges such as running traceroutes and identifying phishing schemes (funded by Raytheon).

The new programming for girls in grades K–12 includes: - 12 Outdoor High Adventure badges, designed for girls to explore nature and experience exciting outdoor adventures like backpacking, snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, rock climbing, and tree climbing giving them the confidence to support one another, take healthy risks, and spend dedicated time in nature.

These are the first Girl Scout badges that members can earn by choosing one of two self-directed paths (funded by The North Face).

- 18 Coding for Good badges, which not only teach girls the basics of coding but also detail how every stage of the coding process provides girls with opportunities to use their skills for good. Girls will learn about algorithms through ageappropriate, creative activities, such as coding positive memes to spread a message about a cause they care about, designing a digital game to educate people about an issue,

ISRA challenges law requiring gun dealers to obtain a state license The Illinois State Rifle Association has filed a lawsuit challenging the state licensure measure Governor JB Pritzker signed into law shortly after taking office.

Senate Bill 337 was passed in the 100th General Assembly but was never sent to then Governor Bruce Rauner because 2nd Amendment rights opponents knew he would veto it. After Governor JB Pritzker was sworn in as Governor, SB 337 was sent to him even though the 100th General Assembly had ended and the 101st General Assembly had already begun.

“The political gamesmanship to get this legislation signed into law is appalling,” Pearson said. “Rules and deadlines apparently mean nothing to advocates for gun control. Senate Bill 337 should have died in the 100th General Assembly. We are left with no choice but to challenge this terrible new law in court.”

The law requires federally licensed gun dealers to obtain a state license to sell firearms. Federal licenses cost $90 for three years. A dealer with no posted hours must pay $300 for a three-year license – more than 300 percent of what the cost of a federal dealer license is.

If a dealer has posted hours (even as little as one

hour) the dealer must pay $1,500 for a three-year state license – more than 16 times the cost of a federal license.

“There is no need for this law,” Pearson said. “The federal government already licenses gun dealers. All this does is create more red tape and increase the cost of doing business. We said we would challenge this law in court when it was signed, and today we are keeping that promise.”

According to a recent news report from the Center Square, there are 2,351 federally licensed firearms dealers in Illinois but only 1,140 of those dealers applied for states licenses – a difference of 1,211 or more than half the number of federally licensed dealers.

“This law was never about public safety,” Pearson said. “It was always intended to have a chilling effect on the firearms industry, and it is working. There are now more than 1,200 local businesses no longer in business thanks to this law. It is a blow to the 2nd Amendment and to the Illinois economy. The ISRA will keep fighting to get this onerous law overturned.”

Girl Scouts of Northern Illinois and Girl Scouts of the USA (GSUSA) today reveal 42 new badges exclusively for girls in grades K–12 that allow them to make their own choices about how they want to experience and influence the world.

The badges enhance the organization’s existing girl-led programming, offering girls everything from adventuring in the snow or mountains to learning how to use coding to solve problems they care about. Girl Scout programming has long promoted independent decision making, which helps girls develop agency, challenge themselves to move beyond their comfort zones, and build confidence in their leadership abilities.

Among the 42 new offerings are Outdoor High Adventure badges that feature, for the first time in Girl Scouts’ history, two distinct activity options, letting girls choose how they want to earn each badge. Giving girls choices is important for developing their sense of self, their own voice, and gender equality - research from the World Bank Group shows that increasing women’s agency and decision-making abilities is key to improving their lives, communities, and the world. And research shows that Girl Scouts are more likely than other girls to take an active role in decision-making (80 percent vs. 51

The showpiece of the concert was Matthew Lian’s joining with the LGSO in a performance of the first movement of Felix Mendelssohn’s Violin Concerto in E Minor. Lian was the winner of the LGSO 2018 Young Artist Concerto Competition and the Rotary Club of Lake Geneva Neal Heffernan Art Scholarship.

Lian is a senior at Huntley High School. He began playing violin at the age of six and has Matthew has been under the guidance of Talia Pavia for five years. He has been in McHenry County Youth Orchestra for six years and was Concert Master of the McHenry Country Symphony Orchestra.

Aside from music, Lian is also in his school’s science Olympiad and math team, and also part of a martial arts program for nearly 5 years. Lian is very grateful for all of his teachers that have shaped him into the musician he is today and all of the talented musicians in the LGSO. The LGSO opened the 2019 George Williams College (located in Lake Geneva) Music by the Lake series on June 23. Led by Music Director David Anderson, the orchestra showcased the crown jewels of feature animation by accompanying scenes from Walt Disney’s original “Fantasia” (1940) and “Fantasia 2000,” highlighting a selection of the magnificent repertoire from both films, including Tchaikovsky’s “The Nutcracker Suite.”

Having performed regularly in Walworth County since 2001, the LGSO is dedicated to involving people of di-verse ages, talents, and backgrounds in performing and enjoying great music.

The LGSO is a true “community” orchestra consisting of volunteer musicians from a wide area of southeastern Wisconsin and northern Illinois.

The LGSO performs classical concerts, chamber music concerts, children’s performances, and holiday engagement. It also sponsors an annual young artist competition.

Violinists Libby Murphy, from Crystal Lake, and Sarah Papic, from Algonquin, took to the stage on June 23 as members of the Lake Geneva Symphony Orchestra for a live performance of Walt Disney’s “Fantasia” for an enthusiastic audience of 898 in the Ferro Pavilion of the George Williams College of Aurora University in Lake Geneva.

The concert marked the fourth time that the LGSO has kicked off George Williams College’s “Music by the Lake” series.

Led by Music Director David Anderson, the orchestra played the music accompanying a projection of scenes from Walt Disney’s original “Fantasia” (1940), a crown jewel of feature animation, and “Fantasia 2000.”

Musical highlights included frolicking flowers and fairies in Tchaikovsky’s “The Nutcracker Suite,” Mickey Mouse dabbling in magic in Dukas’s “The Sorcerer’s Apprentice” and mythical unicorns and winged horses accompanying Beethoven’s “Pastoral” Symphony No. 6.

The LGSO 2019-2020 season begins on Oct. 26 with a concert including “Three Dances from Bartered Bride” by Bedřich Smetana and “Rite of Spring” by Igor Stravinsky.

In addition, the first of three LGSO Chamber Music Concerts will be performed on Sep. 29.

Times and locations for concerts will be posted later this summer at www.LakeGenevaOrchestra.org.

Letter to the editor Dear Editor, Propane makes more sense than natural gas for Marengo homeowners Propane is a fuel that many homeowners in and around the Marengo area in McHenry County have used reliably for years for a multitude of uses, from home heating to cooking.

The Illinois Propane Gas Association has received reports that Nicor Gas is inquiring with Marengo propane customers about their interest in potentially converting to natural gas. While this is certainly within Nicor’s purview as a business, it’s important for those homeowners to know the facts about such a conversion, especially related to cost and inconvenience: -There may be a cost to connect to Nicor’s gas system.

-There will be piping replacement within homes and other buildings.

-There will be a cost for new or highly modified appliances.

-There will be meter fees, distribution charges, taxes and surcharges, some of which may fluctuate monthly.

-There will also be landscaping impacts due to the need to run pipe underground to homes.

Conversely, propane has many benefits of which Marengo homeowners may

not be aware: -Most propane companies are local, meaning they have supported communities like Marengo for decades, delivering what homeowners need every day.

-By regulation, only one natural gas utility can deliver gas to a region, which eliminates healthy competition, but the propane industry is highly competitive by nature.

This situation appears to be a trend with Nicor; the Illinois Commerce Commission recently reviewed its request for a 70.4-mile natural gas pipeline extension from East Dubuque to the Galena area -which would cost $17.6 million. How much of that amount new customers in the Galena area will pay is uncertain.

For further information concerning the benefits of propane, and the cost and inconvenience of converting to natural gas, reach out to the Illinois Propane Gas Association at 217-525-8000, or contact your local propane provider.
