Since Three Oaks has opened, visitors have enjoyed a unique recreation area through boating, hiking, fishing, swimming and picnicking. However, during the last two years, the culmination of record rainfall events have limited access to some of the park’s amenities. During the past 10 years, water levels have varied at the Three Oaks Recreation Area similar to other natural bodies of water in the area. In fact, May 2020 was the wettest May on record, and 2019 was the 3rd wettest year on record. The park was originally designed to handle historical high water levels, but frequent consistent

record rainfall events have challenged the original design. In spite of this, all amenities are still available, but access to certain trails and shoreline areas, the south lake marina and beach sand has been limited. As many guests know, the lake was a previous quarry so there is no natural outlet to drain these record rainfall amounts. In order to address high water levels, the city is conducting an engineering analysis to identify long-term solutions.

COVID-19 cases rising in Lake, McHenry counties among teens and young adults in recent weeks. The 20-29 age group now has the highest case count in both counties.

“Young people are not immune to COVID-19, and local outbreaks show how easily this virus can spread in social settings,” said Melissa Adamson, Public Health Administrator at the McHenry County Department

Outpatient oncology care now at Huntley hospital Northwestern Medicine adds services in response to patient demands

Patients began receiving chemotherapy and immunotherapy treatments at Northwestern Medicine Huntley Hospital July 27 when new outpatient oncology services opened to the community. Patient care will now be provided by four experienced physicians who specialize in medical oncology and a team of nurses, technicians and pharmacists who provide personalized medical care to people with cancer.

Oncology services, including radiation oncology provided by an experienced team, also will continue to be offered at Northwestern Medicine McHenry Hospital.

“The community has asked us to consider offering oncology services at the Huntley hospital since it opened,” said Dr. Kumar Nathan, president of Northwestern Medicine Huntley Hospital. “Patients are looking for personalized cancer care, and we have created a program that provides advanced medical services close to where they live and work.”

As part of its expanded medical oncology services, Northwestern Medicine welcomes four hematologists/ oncologists to the northwest suburban team. Dr. Alan Wan, who previously cared for patients at Northwestern Medicine Kishwaukee Hospital, will serve as medical director. He joins Dr. Nida Hussain, Dr. Victor Medina and Dr. Naushin Shareef. All four physicians treat patients in McHenry and Huntley.

“It’s a privilege to form a team with so many experienced cancer specialists in this community,” Wan said.

“We will be able to coordinate each patient’s care with radiation oncologists, surgeons, pathologists, other physicians and staff to provide the treatment and support services they need. We’re also closely connected to other Northwestern Medicine hospitals to provide access to clinical trials and highly specialized surgeries that are only available at select academic medical centers.”

of Health. “We have to look out for each other, protecting not only ourselves but the people we care about and their loved ones, too.”

Complaints of social distancing and masking violations at restaurants and bars have also risen in recent months. Across the region, public health staff have investigated over 300 business-related complaints since May 29, when Illinois entered Phase 3 of the Restore Illinois Plan.

“We thank the majority of business owners who have already gone above and beyond to operate safely during this phase of the pandemic, you have truly stepped up to protect your patrons and staff,” said Mark Pfister, executive director of the Lake County Health Department.

“At the same time, the recent volume of business-related complaints our staff are receiving and investigating every day is concerning,” said Pfister. “In our region, we are working with municipal leaders to step up local enforcement, reinforcing this message: these guidelines are not just a suggestion—they are critical to protecting the public’s health so that businesses can remain open.”

All residents are urged to follow

the 3 Ws every day: • Wear a mask • Wash your hands • Watch your distance The 3 Ws must become part of our daily routines to help slow the spread of COVID-19. Both Lake and McHenry public health officials also recommend that residents avoid crowded places and all non-essential travel, as cases continue to surge in the United States and abroad.

Under the state’s Restore Illinois Mitigation Plan, Lake and McHenry Counties make up the North Suburban Region 9. Any region that sustains an 8 percent positivity rate for three consecutive days or sees an increase in positivity rates and simultaneous decrease in hospital capacity will need to implement additional community mitigation interventions, according to the state’s plan. Interventions in the region will be chosen from a tiered ‘menu’ of options based on the severity and potential cause of the resurgence.

Data-informed mitigation measures in the region may include restricting the size of social gatherings, reducing capacity at businesses, or scaling back activities that pose a

higher risk of transmission, such as indoor dining and bars.

To view the North Suburban Region metrics on the Illinois Department of Public Health website, visit www.dph.illinois.gov/regionmetrics and select Region 9. Metrics are updated daily, including testing positivity rates, hospital admissions, and hospital capacity. * The McHenry County Department of Health (MCDH) on Aug. 5 released information identifying a COVID-19 outbreak at Texas Roadhouse restaurant, located at 835 Cog Circle in Crystal Lake.

Texas Roadhouse has voluntarily closed and is working with the MCDH so that it may safely reopen as soon as possible. The department appreciates the cooperation and commitment to protecting the safety and health of staff, patrons and the community.

Anyone who has worked at or visited this establishment or is a close contact of someone who has worked at or visited this establishment between July 19 and Aug. 4 and has any COVID-19 like symptoms is encouraged to consult with their primary care physician and/or get tested.

Sale of former Manley Motors parking lot returns to the table

By Bob Balgemann REPORTER

The sale of the former site of Manley Motors car dealership is still in the works. And the hope remains that when it is purchased by the Belvidere Community Center Complex, its primary use will continue to be as a public parking lot.

But various conversations and proposals during recent Committee of the Whole and city council meetings have slowed the transaction to the point that it has been tabled for a second time.

The Manley property, as it is referred to, is at 621 S. State St. but it is across the street from the historic Community Building at 111 W. 1st St. And Mayor Mike Chamberlain said the board overseeing operation of the complex has been interested in that property for some 20 years.

It’s in a strategic location, off the downtown business district, and often is used for overflow parking for some of the popular events spon-

sored by the city and various civic organizations.

And so, sale of the city-owned property has been referred to more than once as a win-win for both Belvidere and the Community Center Complex Board.

Wheels for all of this were put in motion in 2014, when Ford Motor Company required Manley to relocate and modernize. In a yearlong effort to retain a Ford dealership in the town, it was agreed for the city to acquire the property, with Manley purchasing the former Wolf Chevrolet parcel at Appleton and State, for the location of its dealership.

City officials took ownership in 2015.

Moving forward to May 11, 2020, and a city council/Committee of the Whole meeting where interest in selling the former Manley property, to the Community Center Complex, came up. The deal at that point called for the city to plow the lot in exchange for being allowed to use it for

overflow, public parking for festivals and other events.

It was Alderman Wendy Frank who referred to it as “a win-win for all of us.”

That’s still the thinking but there have been a number of concerns from aldermen. A big one was posed

by Alderman Tom Porter, who asked about the city’s continued access to the property for public parking should the Community Center Board sell it at some point in the future.

Despite that the committee recommended approval of the purchase and at the May 18 city council meeting, Ordinance 492H was accepted on first reading.

But on June 1, when the ordinance came up for second and final reading, Alderman Ric Brereton said he had talked with some people from the Community Center Complex Board “and they have not signed off on it (sale). They would appreciate it if we could table this, or send it back to committee. So I move to send it back

to committee.”

Mayor Chamberlain suggested the matter be tabled. That way, when it’s removed from the table, all council would have to do is take a final vote on the ordinance. That was done and the motion to table passed, 8-0, with two absent.

Off the table The issue remained on the table until the Aug. 3 council meeting, when the mayor called for it to be removed. Alderman Frank so moved, with the required second coming from Alderman Clayton Stevens.

First, however, Alderman Brereton asked why it was being removed from the table.

“Because of changes in the language” of the agreement, Attorney Mike Drella answered.

The vote to remove it passed, 10-0.

Questions remained, with one coming from Alderman Dan Snow.

“So, a developer could come to town with a proposal and the city would have a say if the Community Center

Northern Illinois Land Bank ‘up and running’ during difficult times

By Bob Balgemann REPORTER

The Northern Illinois Land Bank Authority has made progress since being created in January 2019.

Purpose of the eight-member organization, staffed by the Region 1 Planning Council in Rockford, is to put vacant and abandoned properties back into productive use.

Eric Setter, land bank coordinator, explained it this way: “We are a tool that can be used to raise values on properties that are not current paying taxes.”

Among the members are the Belvidere City Council, which he said was integral in setting up the Land Bank, and the Boone County Board. Both the council and board are updated regularly on what’s happening with the authority.

Most recently the information came from Setter, during the council’s July 27 Committee of the Whole meeting, and earlier in July at the county board meeting, courtesy of board Vice Chairperson Sherry Giesecke. Belvidere’s representative

on the board is local businessman John Wolf.

Giesecke said Belvidere’s first contribution to the Land Bank was at 1000 Nettie St., off Logan Avenue, a two-bedroom, two-bathroom house with 1,480 square feet and $18,800 in back taxes. She said houses in similar condition are selling for $30,000.

A first victory She called that “one of our first victories,” adding that the house next will be put up for sale.

Two other Belvidere houses are in process, she said, at 407 Allen and 1031 Garfield. The owner of 407 is trying to get the back taxes paid off, with both buildings being on the Land Bank meeting agenda in August.

Setter also mentioned the Nettie Street house and explained how the process works.

Typically, the Land Bank works through the abandonment statute or by obtaining a judicial deed. It goes to court and tells the judge the property is two or more years tax delinquent, it’s vacant and in some kind

of disrepair, or is a health and public safety hazard,” he said.

In the case of the Nettie Street property, the Illinois Housing Development Authority (IHDA) reached out to Belvidere, he said, and stated there was grant money available for exterior repairs to that house, mainly roof and windows. The city’s grant staff and Public Works Dept. staff will decide what kind of improvements are needed.

When the property is sold the net proceeds will go back into the Land Bank and be used for future property acquisitions.

Setter stressed the Land Bank doesn’t go out, cash in hand, and buy properties. So far it has just under $500,000 in two grants, received through the IHDA, which is used for legal expenses connected with the acquisitions. Once the Land Bank has the deed the property usually is put up for sale, as is.

The Land Bank determines who buys the property. He said it might not necessarily be the one who made the highest offer. “We’re looking at

Retailers respond to governor’s proposal to fine businesses over mask mandate The Illinois Retail Merchants Association (IRMA) has released the following statement regarding Gov. J.B. Pritzker’s proposal to fine retailers for the failure of individuals to wear face coverings as required by the state: “This proposed rule lacks common sense and is a slap in the face to the thousands of retailers who have sacrificed so much during this pandemic while actively supporting ever-changing health and safety guidelines adopted by the state. Indeed,

many of the guidelines ultimately adopted by the state were modeled by retailers well before they were implemented by the state,” said Rob Karr, president and CEO of the Illinois Retail Merchants Association.

“If the goal is to put public health above politics, the administration will amend the rule to focus enforcement efforts on individuals who are not complying instead of punishing and attempting to demonize innocent businesses. State officials have for months complained about improper behavior by individuals at parties, Concordia University parks, and other public places, yet they are specifically exempting inWisconsin releases dividuals from enforcement. The Governor is right - this is a make or Spring Honors List break moment for the state. Either Concordia University Wisconsin the Administration will support the officials have released the Spring Honors List for the 2019-2020 academic year.

About the Illinois Retail Merchants Association (IRMA) One of the largest state retail organizations in the United States, IRMA serves as the voice of retailing and the business community in state government. Founded in 1957, IRMA represents more than 23,000 stores of all sizes and merchandise lines.

From the nation’s largest retailers to independent businesses in every corner of the state, merchants count on IRMA to fight for the best possible environment in which to do business in Illinois.

whether the person will be an owner-occupant,” he said. “Whether he has been a property owner in the past.”

Deed restrictions will be tied to the sale, including expectations as to when necessary repairs are made, he said. “We will use contingencies to make sure the new owner doesn’t sit on it for another two years. We want to be sure the property is back into productive use.”

Two grant types The Land Bank deals with two different kinds of grants.

One was previously mentioned, being received through the IHDA and currently totaling just under $500,000.

City Budget and Finance Director Becky Tobin said the other was received by the city through the State Abandoned Property Program. That is being used for exterior improvements to the Nettie Street house, and to demolish the property at 407 Madison St. That money must be used by the end of November 2020, she said.

Attorney Drella said the Madison property had been on the Land Bank list for possible acquisition, but the board chose not to pursue it. Once the house is torn down, he said city council will decide what to do with the vacant lot.

Alderman Wendy Frank said she lived in the area near the Nettie Street property and has “had a problem with that since the get-go. I’m glad it’s going to be addressed.”

(Board) decided to sell it,” he said.

“That is correct,” Attorney Drella replied.

“How do you know they (center board) don’t already have an opportunity to sell it for a huge profit right now?” Alderman Marsha Freeman asked.

Budget and Finance Director Becky Tobin said the property “is worth way less than what it’s being sold for right now. A lot of work would have to be done to make it worth what they paid for it.”

It was said at a previous meeting that the selling price was $400,000, with the city recouping all of the money it had spent on various improvements over the years it owned the land.

But when more questions came up Aug. 3 Mayor Chamberlain suggested the sale be tabled once again and it was, following a motion by Alderman Stevens. It was a 9-1 vote with Alderman Daniel Arevalo dissenting.

Number of House Democrats calling for Madigan’s resignation grows

By Jerry Nowicki CAPITOL NEWS ILLINOIS

Cracks are beginning to show in Michael Madigan’s hold over the House Democratic caucus that he has led as Speaker for all but two years since 1983.

Three more members of that caucus called for Madigan to resign last week,

at least as House Speaker and chair of the state’s Democratic Party. They join another Democratic representative and three senators—all women—and a number of high-profile Republicans in calling for Madigan’s resignation from at least one of his leadership positions.

Later in the evening on July 30, a

spokesperson for Madigan released a statement on his behalf after he reportedly spent much of the day calling Democratic caucus members.

“I understand that the last couple of weeks have been difficult for our caucus and party, and I have had many candid conversations with members of the

Hallway book sale

The Environmental Defenders of McHenry County are holding their annual Hallway Book Sale at the Woodstock Square Mall building lobby, 110 S. Johnson St., on the Woodstock Square, now through Tuesday, Aug. 18, from 11 a.m. until 4 p.m. (3 p.m. on Saturdays; closed Sundays/Mondays.)

There is an amazing variety of excellent quality donated books— everything from kids’ books to popular fiction, science to biography, gardening to history and everything in between. Donations of re-sellable books are accepted year-round at The Environmental Defenders’ Green Spot and Green Read Used Book stores, the latter located in Crystal Lake. Proceeds from the sale benefit the Environmental Defenders of McHenry County, a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization dedicated to the preservation and improvement of the environment. The group provides all community residents with educational programs and volunteer stewardship opportunities in all areas of environmental protection and advocacy. Donations are encouraged and are tax-deductible as charitable contributions.

Democratic caucus on this matter. The feedback is positive and demonstrates continued support for me and my leadership roles,” Madigan said in the statement. “I have no plans to resign. I have never made a legislative decision with improper motives and any claim otherwise is unfounded. I will continue to lead the effort to defeat Donald Trump, expand the Illinois congressional delegation and the majorities in the Illinois House and Senate.”

The latest calls for the Speaker’s resignation come nearly two weeks after he was implicated in a bribery scheme relating to utility giant Commonwealth Edison. In a court document, ComEd admitted to handing out benefits such as lobbying jobs and subcontracts to close associates of the Illinois House Speaker in an effort to gain support for legislation benefitting the company.

Madigan has not been charged with any crime and has denied wrongdoing.

Rep. Anne Stava-Murray, a Naperville Democrat, was the only member of the House Democratic caucus who had called for his resignation before last week. She was also the only Democrat who did not vote for Madigan as speaker at the beginning of this session of the General Assembly.

Last week, Reps. Terra Costa Howard, (D-Glen Ellyn, 48th District), and Stephanie Kifowit, (D-Oswego), added their names to the growing list seeking Madigan’s resignation. Others have called for the Speaker to resign if the allegations in the ComEd court document are true.

Howard, in a statement July 29, called for Madigan’s resignation as Speaker and party chair.

“The sworn statements in the U.S. Attorney’s agreement with Commonwealth Edison detail a years-long

Crime news

Overdose death leads to homicide charge Patrick D. Kenneally, McHenry County state’s attorney, announcesd that 32-year-old Keith Lang was found guilty by a jury of the offense of Drug-Induced Homicide.

On Sept. 22, 2017, the McHenry County Sheriff’s Department responded to the home of the victim, age 23, after his mother found him unresponsive in his bedroom. The victim was pronounced dead at the scene and an autopsy revealed the cause of death was a heroin overdose.

A subsequent investigation revealed that the victim had obtained several bags of heroin from a friend named Elizabeth Long. The sheriff’s department obtained a search warrant for Long’s phone, which revealed that she had arranged to purchase heroin from Lang.

Long admitted she had bought the heroin from the defendant and shared it with the victim on the night of his death. The defendant will be sentenced on Sept. 24, at 1:30 pm. He faces a sentencing range of between six and 30 years in the Illinois Department of Corrections. Under truth in sentencing guidelines, the defendant must serve 75 percent of his sentence.

This case was investigated by the McHenry County Sheriff’s Department and prosecuted by Assistant State’s Attorney Michael Combs and Rod Drobinski.

Animals, plants adapt to summer heat Rabid bat reported Air conditioning isn’t an option in nature, so during heat waves, raccoons belly flop in birdbaths and tree roots dig deep for water.

While they may not thrive in the heat, Illinois native wildlife and vegetation are well adapted to survive the region’s extremes.

“When we hit temperatures outside the average range, animals change when they’re most active,” says Peggy Doty, University of Illinois Extension educator in energy and environmental stewardship.

During the hottest part of the day, animals seek shade. They’ll come out at dawn and dusk to eat, so drivers should be aware they may see more animals along roadsides at this time.

Hot temperatures can even initiate a summer hibernation in both plants and animals. It’s not uncommon to see squirrels dozing on a tree branch with their legs dangling over the sides.

“That’s the most natural first response; some animals slow their body down and do a mid-summer hibernation called estivation,” Doty says. “If they’re not active, they’re not losing liquid, and they’re saving energy.”

Plants and trees stop the normal process of transpiration, which releas-

es water vapor.

“If they don’t have enough water, they stop photosynthesizing,” says Christopher Evans, Illinois Extension forestry research specialist. “They’ll stop growing and sit there dormant until the temperature normalizes.”

Prairie plants use their deep roots, some as long as 15 feet, to tap into underground water sources. The sandstone bluffs of Southern Illinois are home to the unique “resurrection fern,” pleopeltis polypodioides.

“It will completely dry up and look dead as a doornail,” Evans says.

“Then, when water comes back, it greens right back up.”

Trees also rely on their extensive root system to stay hydrated, but ongoing heat will raise soil temperatures killing small, fine roots. Evans says the heat wave in the summer of 2012 did a lot of damage to trees in Southern Illinois.

“We saw a lot of tree mortality that I attribute to root damage,” he says. “If they have root damage, it takes five to seven years for that tree to succumb.”

Wilting leaves are the first sign of heat stress. Homeowners should water deeply under the entire canopy of the tree to prevent long-term damage.

University of Maryland Extension recommends wetting the soil at least 6-inches deep, which requires 65 to 130 gallons of water for 100-square feet.

As summer progresses and creeks and ponds dry up, animals will test out new water sources.

“If you have birdbaths, fountains, or ponds, you’re going to have visitors,” Doty says. “It’s good to check pools for young animals in the morning because they may drown seeking water.”

She also recommends putting the removable tops of ceramic birdbaths on the ground to prevent animals from tipping and breaking them.

If someone sees an animal in distress and wants to help, Doty recommends they call a wildlife rehabilitator for advice. A list of licensed rehabilitators is available at illinoiswildlife. org.

in Lakewood home

A bat that tested positive for rabies was found inside a Lakewood home.

No human exposure was reported, although the homeowner’s cat was seen chasing the bat before it flew into a chimney.

Keeping indoor and outdoor pets up to date on vaccinations will not only keep them from getting rabies but also provide a barrier of protection for people if a rabid animal bites a pet and subsequently bites or scratches a human.

According to Maryellen Howell, manager of McHenry County Department of Health’s Veterinary Public Health Division, “Whether a bat is found inside or outside your home, avoid touching it with bare hands.”

Howell advises people use a shovel or plastic bag to ensure there is no direct contact between themselves and the bat. If a bat is found inside, contain it in a room by closing the door. If a bat is found outside and there has been exposure to a person or pet or if the bat is injured, place an upside down bucket over the bat if possible. In both cases, immediately call Animal Control (815-459-6222). To test bats for rabies, it is important the bat be in good condition (i.e. head is intact) and either alive or recently deceased.

Rabies is a fatal disease caused by a virus that attacks the central nervous system, only confirmed by laboratory testing. The best way to avoid rabies is to avoid exposure. A bat that is active by day, found in a place where bats are not usually seen (such as in your home) or is unable to fly, is potentially rabid.

People should take a “hands off” approach to all wild animals to reduce their risk of exposure. Children should also be educated to avoid handling wild animals. Bats are a protected species and part of the natural habitat.

If you have questions about exposure, call MCDH’s Communicable Disease Program at 815-334-4500. To learn more about rabies prevention, visit the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) at www.cdc. gov/rabies.

scheme of payoffs and bribery involving many of Speaker Madigan’s closest allies. Even if he was not directly involved in this scheme, these accusations clearly demonstrate that the Speaker’s leadership has failed,” she said in the statement. “Speaker Madigan has a duty to recognize that these allegations have cast a deep shadow on the reputation of our House. He must take action now to avoid inflicting further damage on the members of the House and the Democratic Party.”

While she said Madigan has not been charged and is entitled to “the presumption of innocence and due process,” his ties to the investigation “make it impossible for Rep. Madigan to continue in his leadership roles.”

“I hope he will do the honorable thing and step down,” she said.

On July 30, Kifowit tweeted that she “electronically delivered” a letter to the speaker requesting he step down.

“I write this letter as a legislator who voted for you for Speaker in the past,” Kifowit wrote. “The reality is that each time, the vote I made for you was carefully considered. I voted with the view that you would respect and honor the leadership position of the Speaker of the House.”

But, in light of the ComEd document, Kifowit said it was clear that Madigan—or at least those he empowered in his inner circle—“did not hold the respect and dignity of the institution of the Illinois State House and the General Assembly as a whole.”

“The actions described in the U.S. Attorney’s deferred prosecution agreement by ComEd show that you have compromised the integrity of the office of Speaker of the House and undermined the public trust,” she said. “… Therefore, I demand you to do the right thing and step down immediately as Speaker of the House. In the event that you do not, and if you choose to seek nomination to this position again, I will vote against said nomination and will not vote for you should your nomination be successful.”

Hours after Kifowit’s letter, Rep. Kelly Cassidy, D-Chicago, joined her colleagues in calling for the Speaker to resign from his leadership roles.

“I have long been an outspoken critic of Speaker Madigan, but I have always stopped short of calling for his resignation, deferring to many of my colleagues’ concerns about due process,” she said in a statement. “…As a leader on criminal justice reform, I feel strongly about the principles of innocent until proven guilty and the right to due process. I also believe leadership must be held to a higher standard, and it is clear that the constant drip of corruption stories will interfere with our ability to advance a progressive agenda. Whether these investigations ultimately implicate him or continue to pick away at his inner circle, the damage is done.”

Earlier last week, prominent Democratic Sen. Heather Steans, of Chicago, called on Madigan to resign those two

positions as well.

“Some will argue that the Speaker is innocent until charges are filed and he’s proven guilty. But those are not the standards that should apply to his leadership role. Serving as Speaker is not a right; it’s a privilege. A leader’s actions must avoid even the perception of wrongdoing. Speaker Madigan repeatedly has violated that trust,” she wrote in a statement.

Sen. Melinda Bush, D-Grayslake, called for his resignation to both those positions and as a member of the General Assembly shortly after the ComEd news broke as well.

Sen. Iris Martinez, D-Chicago, has called for Madigan’s resignation as party chairman.

Republicans have been steadily beating the drum on the ethics issue since the news broke, with Illinois House Republican Leader Jim Durkin taking a stronger stance July 30 than he had previously.

“After reviewing the facts contained in the ComEd deferred prosecution agreement, it is abundantly clear that Michael J. Madigan is unable to execute his responsibilities as Speaker of the Illinois House of Representatives and as state representative for the 22nd House District,” Durkin said in a statement. “I call for the immediate resignation of Speaker Madigan from the Illinois House of Representatives, and will be filing a resolution to have the House Chamber vote on a new speaker immediately.”

Keicher praises new law that strengthens funding for Illinois hospitals Governor JB Pritzker signed Senate Bill 2541 into law on July 7 renewing the Hospital Assessment Program, resulting in $250 million in additional federal funding to ensure Illinois hospitals are equipped during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

State Representative Jeff Keicher

Wisconsin residents charged for Felony Theft in Boone County On Wednesday, August 5, 2020, Boone County Sheriff’s Detectives arrested two Wisconsin residents on Felony Theft charges.

-Joseph Shaffer, 34 years old of Sharon, Wis. was charged with one count of Theft (Class 2 Felony). Shaffer remains in the custody of the Walworth County Jail pending Joseph Shaffer extradition on a $75,000.00 (10 percent) bond.

-Barbara Winden, 32 years old of Janesville, Wis. was charged with one count of Theft (Class 2 Felony).

Winden remains Barbara Winden in the custody of the Walworth County Jail pending extradition on a $75,000.00 (10 percent) bond.

On July 21, 2020, Boone County Sheriff’s Deputies were dispatched to a storage business located in the 4000 block of Rt. 173 in rural Caledonia for a theft of a box trailer. The victim reported the trailer had been stolen sometime over a two-week period. The trailer and contents were reportedly valued at over $30,000.

Boone County Sheriff’s Detectives developed two suspects and tracked them to a residence in rural Sharon, Wis. After a short standoff with the suspects, Boone County Detectives, with the assistance of the Walworth County Sheriff’s Office, arrested both subjects. Detectives investigating the theft, discovered at least two additional trailers had been stolen from the storage facility; charges are pending against Shaffer and Winden on those thefts.

The investigation continues and additional charges are expected. A class 2 Felony is punishable by three (3) to seven (7) years in the Illinois Department of Corrections.

The Boone County Sheriff’s Office encourages anyone having information on a crime or narcotic trafficking to call the Boone County Sheriff’s Office at 815-544-2144 or Crime Stoppers at 815-547-7867.

Members of the public are reminded that these are only charges and are not proof of the defendant’s guilt. Every defendant is presumed innocent and is entitled to a fair trial in which it is the State’s burden to prove his or her guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.

(R-Sycamore) commended the bipartisan effort that led to the new Hospital Assessment Program being passed by the Illinois House of Representatives back in May. “Our commitment to meeting the needs of our hospitals is one example of both parties working together to achieve results that have a direct impact on people’s lives. Health care is such an important issue for every local family here in northern Illinois and across the state. I was proud to support this bill and the dedicated men and women of our health care industry on the frontlines of treating patients each and

every day.”

The Hospital Assessment Program is a $3.8 billion program that will bring in over $250 million additional federal dollars to the state.

The program consists of $450 million in additional funding for hospitals since the last assessment four years ago. The Illinois Department of Healthcare and Family Services (HFS) worked with the General Assembly and stakeholders to distribute funding in a manner that increased funding to all hospitals in Illinois, while prioritizing hospitals that serve a high number of Medicaid patients.

Funding is also reserved to improve access to health care services, including diagnostic and treatment services, in under resourced communities across the state. Payments to hospitals will be more transparent and the billing system will be simplified for some services like laboratory tests performed by hospitals.
