Illinois State Police (ISP) officials are investigating an officer involved shooting which occurred Wednesday March 29, 2017, at approximately 12:04 p.m. The incident occurred in the intersection of West Front Ave at Blackhawk Drive in Stockton, Illinois.

The preliminary investigation indicates that at approximately 12 p.m., the Stockton Police Department received a call of three suspicious adult subjects coming and going from a vehicle stopped on Blackhawk Drive. The owner of the vehicle, Troy J. Boyle, age 41, was observed setting his car on fire just before police arrived.

A Stockton police officer was first on scene followed by a deputy from the Jo Daviess County Sheriff’s Office. The details of the shooting incident between Boyle and the Stockton officer are not being released at this time as there are witnesses who still need to be interviewed. One of the

three subjects, Timothy Hess, age 41, was being detained by the deputy when the shooting occurred. The third subject, a female, was located behind a shed and taken into custody without incident.

Boyle was transported to FHN Hospital in Freeport where he was pronounced deceased. Responding officers secured the crime scene and Stockton Chief Tom Sheehan requested the Illinois State Police handle the investigation into his officer’s use of deadly force.

Hess and the female subject provided recorded statements to investigators. Hess was later secured at the Jo Daviess County Jail on unrelated warrants and the female was released. Agents learned that Boyle had just stolen gas from a local gas station minutes before his car became disabled on Blackhawk Drive.

Jo Daviess County Sheriff issues appeal to citizens in fight against crime Responding to the increasing number of people wanting to assist law enforcement officials and build a stronger partnership in the fight against crime, Sheriff Kevin Turner today announced that Jo Daviess County citizens are being invited to become Associate Members of the Illinois Sheriffs’ Association.

Membership appeals already went out and probably hit your mailboxes already. Individuals choosing to join the voluntary program can do so for as little as $25, while businesses can show their support for a $50 contribution. The funding provides critically important technical resources, training, and legislative support on key criminal justice issues.

Contributions are tax-deductible and unlike other organizations in our state, the Membership Program

does not solicit membership by telephone.

“With government funding becoming increasingly difficult to secure, the membership drive has taken on greater importance than ever before,” said Turner. “The funding is vital to helping us carry out our mission of making our communities safer places to live, work and play.”

The program is committed to its “No Telemarketing” policy and only sends invitations to citizens to become members by mail. Individuals that do not receive a membership appeal and would like more information can do so by contacting the Illinois Sheriffs’ Association: 401 E Washington, Suite 1000 Springfield, Illinois 62701 Phone: (217) 7532372. Information is also available online, www.ilsheriff.org.

Science Siesta! girls + science = fun!

Have you ever dreamt of spending the night in a museum? No, this is not a movie, it’s Science Siesta!

Hosted by University of Illinois Extension, this annual event for fourthsixth grade girls will take place on April 21 and 22. Once again, this program will be held at the Discovery Center Children’s Museum in Rockford. This action-packed overnight will combine the fun of a pajama party with hands-on science experiences. “This is our sixteenth year of conducting Science Siesta, we have reached over 2,400 girls so far and we are excited to continue to offer this fun, interactive event to encourage girls to consider science-related career fields,” said Johnna Jennings, University of Extension 4-H Youth Development Educator.

At Science Siesta, girls have the opportunity to meet females in actual science career fields from throughout northern Illinois. The scientists will share information about their back-

ground and involve the girls in activities much like they complete in their work every day.

Following the face-to-face interaction with female scientists, youth participate in activities based on the “Wonderwise” curriculum developed by the University of Nebraska. This curriculum highlights the work of female scientists and then translates their work into hands-on science based activities, which are fun and engaging. Participating girls may choose one of three workshop tracks for breakout sessions. Their choices include activities from “Vet Detective”, “Parasite Sleuth” and “Urban Ecologist”.

Statistics show that girls are less likely to pursue degrees and careers in science and mathematics than boys. Researchers agree that this is a complex problem with no easy answers, but believe that there are things that can be done. They suggest that having role models that girls can

look up to, as well as making science fun and interactive will encourage girls to stay involved and interested in science. Events such as Science Siesta are designed to help bridge the gap for girls at a time when many may start to lose interest in science or question whether science is a field they should choose.

Science Siesta for Girls will begin with registration at 5 p.m. on Friday, April 21 and will conclude with check-out at 8:30 a.m. on Saturday, April 22. The registration fee is $40 per girl. The registration fee covers pizza, snack, breakfast, admission to the Discovery Center Children’s Museum and all hands-on activities.

For additional information, as well as to register for either one of these Science Siesta events, go to the University of Illinois Extension website at http://web.extension.illinois.edu/ bdo/ or call (815) 758-8194. The registration deadline for this event is Friday, April 7.

VIEWPOINT Attorney General Madigan calls for elimination of statutes 4 • Wednesday, April 5, 2017 - The Scoop Today/Shopper’s Guide Today

of limitations for felony child sexual abuse and assault Attorney General Lisa Madigan today applauded members of the Illinois Senate for passing legislation to eliminate the statutes of limitations for felony criminal sexual assault and sexual abuse crimes against children.

Senate Bill 189, sponsored by Sen. Scott Bennett, passed out of the Senate today by a vote of 54-0 and will now be considered

by House lawmakers. The bill will eliminate Illinois’ statutes of lim-

itations on child sex crimes that can allow child predators to go unpunished.

“For a child survivor of sexual assault, reporting their crime can be unimaginable because these crimes are usually committed by an adult they know well,” Madigan said. “We must ensure that we can seek justice whenever a survivor comes forward to report the crime.”

“For survivors of child sex crimes, the decision to come for-

ward can be extremely difficult and painful, and survivors should be free to make that decision in their own time,” Sen. Bennett said. “I am pleased to see my Senate colleagues agree that survivors – not arbitrary deadlines – should determine when justice is sought.”

As more child survivors of abuse and sexual assault have come forward to describe the difficult process that they have endured in reporting, states across the country

have eliminated statutes of limitations for these crimes. Nationwide, 36 other states and the federal government have removed criminal statutes of limitations for some or all sexual offenses against children.

Currently no statutes of limitations exist in Illinois for murder, involuntary manslaughter, reckless homicide, arson, treason, forgery or the production of child pornography. Under current state law, the most egregious sexual offenses

Your internet history is now for sale. Here’s how you can protect it Compiled by Tony Carton EDITOR

Everyone, even people who aren’t skilled with computers, knows that browsing the web comes with certain privacy risks. The sites you visit, what you do while you’re there, where you’re physically located, and which internet-connected apps you use are all broadcast to your in-ternet service provider (ISP).

More about IT Security In October 2016 the FCC approved rules that would prevent ISPs from gathering that data and reselling it without consumer consent, and yesterday the US House of Representatives overturned those rules, The bill is now headed to the White House, where President Trump is expected to sign it.

Internet users are right to be concerned: Without those restrictions in place, every-thing you do on the web can be tracked, collected, stored, and

sold without your permission. That isn’t just a problem for those tired of intrusive advertisements—it’s also a potential treasure trove for hackers.

It can’t be that big a deal, right?

Every time you open a browser window—incognito or not—your ISP knows what you’re doing. Each web request you make first goes through your ISP, giving them a record of every site you visit.

So, if you visit WebMD they know it. And if you navigate to the page on (insert embarrassing medical condition here) they know it. Suddenly you start seeing ads for creams, tinctures, and pills designed to treat that embarrassing condition everywhere you go, and guess what? It’s not a coincidence and it made someone money.

It’s alarming to think that your ISP is using your browsing history as a means to make more money, and it’s even more alarming to think what

Group Tobacco Cessation program begins at FHN Quitting smoking or stopping tobacco use is one of the best things you can do for your health. FHN offers group support for those ready to quit.

The Quit Smoking / Tobacco Cessation Group offers help for those who want to go through the experience of quitting with others. The next Quit Smoking / Tobacco Cessation Group will meet from 5 – 6 p.m. Thursdays starting April 6, at FHN Family Counseling Center in Freeport.

The cost of the group is $60 and must be paid at the time of enrollment. Space is limited to 20 participants. For more information or to enroll in the April group, call 815599-7300.

Each group meets for six consecutive weeks, with a different focus for each meeting: Session 1 – Risks of smoking and nicotine use; benefits of quitting; physical and mental health consequences of smoking Session 2 – Identify your level of dependence on nicotine; methods

could happen to that data in the case of a data breach. Those advertisers just want to sell you embarrassing creams. Hackers want to trade your data for cases of the stuff.

It’s easy to protect data on the web, right?

Browsing the web is a lot like going out in public: There are certain things you simply can’t do without someone noticing. In this case the entity noticing is your ISP, and the things they notice are worth big dollars to other companies.

The most common method of anonymizing browsing habits is using a browser’s incognito mode, but that really isn’t hiding anything: All it does is prevent the computer you’re using from storing data-the traffic to and from your computer is fair game for anyone looking.

Ad blockers, script stoppers, and other plugins only pro-tect your embarrassing browsing history from your friends and family. Your ISP still has access to everything you do.

True protecting is difficult and comes with drawbacks but it is still possible.

How to protect yourself from the prying eyes of your ISP

There are a lot of reasons to want to anonymize your presence on the web, and not all of them are nefarious or illicit. If you want to stop your ISP from potentially selling your personal info here are a few things you can do.

• Use ToR: ToR works. That doesn’t mean it’s easy to set up or get used to, though. One more reason not to rely on ToR for daily browsing is that lots of websites block ToR traffic because it’s impossible to monetize.

• Use a VPN: Virtual pri-vate networks are sort of like ToR, in that they relay your traffic through a bunch of servers before spitting you out at your destination. The free ones aren’t that good, however, and the good ones are far from free. Expect slower browsing speeds too: All that rerouting takes pre-cious milliseconds.

• Consider local ISPs: Some of the biggest lobbyists for the repeal of regulations protecting consumer data are ISPs like Comcast and Verizon— they stand to make billions in targeted ad deals. Some small-scale local ISPs have said they won’t collect or sell data, so take a look at them

if you’re looking for a new provider.

• Research: If you’re curious about your ISP’s position on data gathering look into it. Call, email, or check out their website and if you don’t find an explicit statement saying they don’t collect or sell data it’s safe to assume they will.

The safest way to browse the web is, unfortunately, not to do it. In today’s age that’s practically impossible, so until internet traffic is safe you’re going to be hard pressed to find easy ways to protect yourself.

Down by the riverside with IAHCE Ten members from Stephenson County Home and Community Education (SCAHCE) attended the 93rd.

Annual Conference for the Illinois Association for Home and Community Education at the Embassy Suites Hotel and Riverfront Conference Center, East Peoria, Illinois, March 14-16.

Through the years, we have changed with the current times, trends, or needs. Our organization was first known as Home Bureau Federation, then Homemakers Extension Association, and today, we are Home and Community Education. Our goal is to educate members of our homes and community. We promote social and economic well-being in our homes and neighborhoods. We are not our Mother’s Home Bureau.

IAHCE continues to cross boundaries when providing unique and inventive ideas for our lessons, providing members the opportunity to learn current and relevant information. We strive to provide our state and county officer’s important information that allows them to work, support and promote the community in

which they serve.

Our members who attended this year’s conference were able to choose from twenty-five (25) different lessons. Members were able to take all this information back to their own counties to share with members who could not attend the conference.

For more information on Stephenson County Home and Community Education, please contact Sandra Kubatzke at 815-563-4343.

The complainant stated that there was someone who would come in the evening to check on the dogs, but would not stay there. The complainant then stated that the dogs would begin to bark and run back and forth, all night long, which was interrupting his sleep. The complainant stated that this has been going on for three days. The officer checked to see if anyone was home at the apartment and no one was there. The officer left a message on the door of the offenders’ apartment to contact the Stockton Police upon their return.

minor cuts to her left forearm with dried blood near the wounds. The female was detained for her own safety. The female subject stated that she had been consuming alcoholic beverages and she had an argument with her boyfriend, the complainant.

The female admitted that her level of intoxication most likely contributed to her decision to harm herself. The Stockton Ambulance Service then arrived to assist the female with her wounds. The complainant stated that the couple had been drinking and arguing all night. The complainant stated that it became dangerous when he would not let the female have the keys to her vehicle. The female was transported by Stockton Ambulance to FHN Hospital in Freeport for treatment and evaluation.

Upon arrival, officers encountered the subjects in question, and were informed by store personnel that these were in fact, the theft suspects from several days earlier. The officers detained the individuals for investigation. Officers were able to view video of the theft and were able to identify the subjects as the offenders. Upon confronting the subjects with the video evidence, the female subject, made an admission of guilt. The subjects were placed under arrest for the theft. In addition, after a search of the offenders’ vehicle, merchandise from the theft was recovered along with drug paraphernalia. Both subjects were transported to the Jo Daviess County Jail for processing for the charges of Retail Theft and Possession of Drug Paraphernalia.

a complaint about a truck pulling a trailer that was eastbound on Route 20 from Woodbine, Illinois. The motorist complained that there was some kind of material leaking out of the trailer and it was hitting the vehicles behind the truck. Stockton Police observed this truck as it entered Stockton and it was, in fact, leaking a heavy liquid material from the trailer. Police stopped the truck at the Stockton Travel Center to investigate. It was found that the truck, which had Iowa license plates, was leaking a heavy liquid animal feed from the trailer. Illinois State Police arrived on scene and performed a truck inspection, citing the driver for the leakage.

On 03/28 at approximately 10:18 p.m., while on routine patrol, the Stockton Police observed a subject behind the Stockton Travel Center/ Citgo station, taking items from a vehicle and placing them into another vehicle. Due to the time and unusual location, the officer made contact with the subject to investigate the circumstances. The subject, a female, stated that she was merely transferring clean clothes from one vehicle to another, as she and her husband are long haul truckers and she was leaving clean clothes in her husband’s vehicle for when he returns. After checking the registrations on the vehicles and the subject’s identification, it was determined that no further police action was necessary.

On 03/29 at approximately 3:25 a.m., while on routine patrol, The Stockton Police observed a Gold 1997 Jeep parked in the rear lot of the business at Main Street and Benton Street, with its’ engine running.

The officer approached the vehicle and could see that it was occupied.

Upon closer inspection, the driver appeared to be sleeping. The Officer then woke up the driver who stated that he had a verbal altercation with his girlfriend while they were on a date and that she had walked home from this location. The driver stated that he thought he better not go home and he would spend the night in his vehicle. After checking the drivers’ identification, the officer transported the subject to his house. No further police intervention was required.

On 3/29 at 7:06 a.m., the Stockton Police were dispatched to an address on North Avenue in reference to a

suspicious vehicle. Upon arrival, the Officer located a White 96 Buick with Illinois registration. The vehicle was occupied by a male and a female, who was found to be the owner of the vehicle. The officer, during his investigation, learned that there were Illegal Narcotics, marijuana, inside the car. The officer located and seized the suspected marijuana as evidence. The Officer issued the driver a city ordinance citation for the cannabis and a traffic citation for Operating an uninsured Motor Vehicle. The evidence was secured at the Stockton Police Department by the officer.

On 3/29 at approximately 12:04 p.m., the Stockton Police along with the Jo Daviess County Sheriffs’ were dispatched to an address on Hillside Lane in reference to a suspicious vehicle with three suspicious adults hanging around the vehicle. Just before Police arrived, the owner of the suspicious vehicle, Troy J. Boyle, age 41, was observed setting his vehicle on fire. Upon arrival in the area, Police observed the three adult subjects in the area. Upon attempting to contact these subjects, Police detained one of the subjects who was later identified as Timothy Hess, age 41. While Hess was detained, an encounter took place between police and Troy J. Boyle, which resulted in shots being fired by an officer. Due to the ongoing investigation, and interviews of witnesses, no further details of the encounter can be released at this time. Boyle was transported to FHN Hospital in Freeport, where he was later pronounced dead. The third subject, an unidentified female adult, was immediately located nearby. The scene was then secured and upon the request of Chief Thomas P. Sheehan of the Stockton Police Department, the investigation was turned over to the Illinois State Police due to the officers’ use of deadly force. Hess and the unidentified female were cooperating with investigators and both gave recorded statements to Illinois State Police Investigators. Hess was later taken to the Jo Daviess County jail where he was held on unrelated

warrants. The female subject was released after interviews. A canvas of the neighborhood also produced an independent witness that is also cooperating with investigators. Anyone with information regarding the incident is encouraged to contact the Illinois State Police at (815)6324010.

Pet Talk: Allergy sufferers can have pets, too

Allergies are among the most chronic conditions worldwide, according to the American Academy of Allergy Asthma & Immunology. Though many of us love companion animals, some pets, especially cats and dogs, can cause allergic reactions in people.

Dr. Mark Stickney, clinical associate professor at the Texas A&M College of Veterinary Medicine & Biomedical Sciences, explained why some people are allergic to cats and dogs.

“People are typically allergic to the dander and saliva of dogs and cats,” Stickney said. “Cats groom themselves more than dogs, so more people are allergic to cats and have more severe symptoms than those allergic to dogs.”

Though hypoallergenic pets have become more popular, Stickney said recent evidence has shown that there is no such thing as a hypoallergenic dog or cat. However, there are several breeds of dogs and cats that are purported to cause less severe allergic reactions.

“A few examples of dogs that may cause less allergic reactions include labradoodles, bichon fries, poodles, and Portuguese water dogs,” Stickney said. “Some examples of cats include Devon rex, Siamese, and Sphynx.”

If being around cats and dogs is a must, Stickney said there are some ways to alleviate pet allergies. Some options include bathing your pet weekly, getting a HEPA filter for your home, designating a “pet-free” room or area of your house, washing pet beds frequently, dusting and vacuuming your house regularly, and washing your hands after handling a pet. Seeing a physician about allergy treatment options also may help.

Additionally, Stickney said some allergy sufferers can consider pets that are not known to cause allergies, such as lizards, ferrets, rats, and birds. However, Stickney reminds pet owners to do their research before getting a new pet.

“None of these animals should be ‘impulse buys’,” he said. “They all have unique husbandry and health care requirements.”

While allergies may affect our choice in pets, everyone can find a pet fit for them, even allergy sufferers.

VisitGalena wins Illinois Excellence in Tourism Awards VisitGalena President and CEO Chris Hamilton and Marketing & Public Relations Executive Rose Noble took the stage twice to accept Illinois Excellence in Tourism Awards during the Governor’s Conference on Travel & Tourism in Springfield, Ill. March 20.

VisitGalena, the City of Galena’s official destination marketing organization, was honored in Division A, winning two of 10 categories.

Division A, the largest budget division ($500,000 or more), included such heavy hitters as Chicago’s Navy Pier and Shedd Aquarium and the Rockford Area CVB, all with budgets and staff considerably larger than VisitGalena.

“VisitGalena continues to be recognized across the state and I’m very proud of the products and promotions Chris and Rose produce to advertise this wonderful area we

call home,” said VisitGalena Board Chair Fred Bonnet. “Winning two awards in the ‘large population’ category is even more impressive and we are lucky to have Chris and Rose, such wonderfully talented people, leading our efforts.”

Entries were judged by a panel of marketing and tourism professionals from other states on clarity of message, creativity, originality and a project’s overall success.

VisitGalena won the Best Event or Festival Marketing for its 2016 Wedding in a Window/Night of the Luminaria campaign and Best Leisure Collateral for the Galena destination app.

“It’s not often that the marketing of an event stops me in my tracks but the Wedding in a Window/Night of the Luminaria campaign certainly did,” said Kentucky Department of Tourism Commissioner Kris-

Senior Spelling Bees approaching in Stephenson, Jo Daviess Counties

S PR I NG I N TO S U M M E R

Have you heard the buzz about the Senior Spelling Bee? It is time to fly on over to the Senior Resource Center to register for the spelling bee. The bees will be held in Jo Daviess County on April 21, and in Stephenson County on April 24. A sweet time will be had by participants and spectators alike with a honey of a prize awaiting the winners.

Puns aside, the Senior Resource Center is proud to host the Senior Spelling Bees. Participants must be 50 years of age and over to sign up.

Advance registration is preferred.

Early registrants receive practice lists. Registration forms are available at the Senior Resource Center locations in Freeport and Hanover, online at seniorresourcecenter.net or by calling 815-235-9777, ext. 258, in Freeport, or 815-777-1316 in Hanover. Registration also will be ac-

cepted the day of the event.

First and second place winners in both counties will advance to the regional level in June. The top two winners from each regional level will advance to the State Senior Spelling Bee Finals on Aug. 14, at the Illinois State Fair as part of the Senior Citizen’s Day celebrations.

The Jo Daviess County Senior Spelling Bee will be at 10 a.m. Friday, April 21, at the Hanover Senior Resource Center location, 500 Fillmore St. The Stephenson County Senior Spelling Bee follows on 10 a.m. Monday, April 24, at the Senior Activity Center, 216 E. Stephenson St., Freeport.

For more information, please call Stacy Kutz-Deline at 815-235-9777, ext. 258, or e-mail skutz-deline@ srcntr.org, in Freeport or Linda Nobis in Hanover at 815-777-1316 or e-mail her at lnobis@srcntr.org.

ten Branscum, who was one of the judges. “On its own, the event is uber-creative and provides a unique wedding destination for couples.

Destination weddings always evoke images of a beach but Galena, Illinois is changing that with this event.

“Travel apps are very hard to execute because most tend to be focused on listings and information.

The VisitGalena app struck the perfect balance of providing informa-

tion and inspiring visitors to travel to the area. The integration of social media posts brought the entire project together and the user stats show that the thought process and execution were spot on.”

Hamilton said he was particularly pleased with the awards because VisitGalena generates all its marketing pieces and campaign strategies in-house and were competing against bureaus that use marketing

firms or have much larger marketing budgets and staff.

“We continue to take an innovative approach and make the most of what we can with limited resources,” said Hamilton. “The results of our marketing campaigns are the greatest measurement of our success but winning these awards adds considerable validation to our work.

We were extremely proud to be recognized.”

The American Heart Association encourages people to move more and become Healthy for Good

On Wednesday, April 5, take a step toward being Healthy For Good and walk to commemorate the American Heart Association’s National Walking Day! Workplaces, community organizations and individuals are encouraged to take the first step in living an active lifestyle by scheduling a walk and making it a habit for regular physical activity.

National Walking Day is part of the American Heart Association’s Healthy for Good movement, which was designed to inspire all Americans to live healthier lives and create lasting change. It focuses on the simple idea that making small changes today can create a difference for generations to come. So join the movement and move more with us throughout the month of April!

Studies have suggested that moderate physical activity has many proven benefits for overall health, such as lowering blood pressure, increasing HDL, or “good”, cholesterol and controlling weight. All these changes help to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease and stroke, the nation’s No. 1 and No. 5 killers.

The American Heart Association will kick off the month-long

campaign on National Walking Day, April 5, to encourage people to move more by increasing their physical activity. The campaign is broken down into weekly themes.

Week one focuses on walking and the basic tools you need to get started. Walking is one of the safest, least expensive, and most sustainable forms of exercise. Weeks two and three focus on recreational sports and outdoor activities

the whole family can do together, and week four focuses on mindful movement and reducing stress by doing activities such as yoga, Pilates and tai chi.

The American Heart Association recommends that adults participate in at least 150 minutes of moderate intensity aerobic activity or 75 minutes of vigorous intensity aerobic activity or a combination of both each week. Kids should get at least 60 minutes of physical activity every day.

Be part of the movement and register for your free toolkit at www. heart.org/movemoretoolkit.

For more information about walking and living a healthy lifestyle, visit www.heart.org/movemore.

Le-Win FFA achieves recognition at Career Development Event Nine members of the Lena-Winslow FFA chapter attended the Section One horticulture CDE hosted at Dakota High School on March 29. Although the horticulture class is only offered every other year, the FFA members were still game to try their talents at this CDE which was offered in the section for only the second time. At the CDE students were tested on a variety of areas including plant identification, horticulture tool identification, a written exam, a bill of sale and an

actual floral design. For the floral design portion the students were given foliage as well as flowers and the tools needed to make a design. They were instructed as to what type of design was expected as an end product and then had to also make a bill for the supplies and time it took to make the arrangement. Junior FFA member Laurel Flynn, current chapter Reporter, did an excellent job in leading the team by placing first overall at the contest. Miranda Luke also placed as an individual in tenth

place. Overall the team placed second out of six schools. The students enjoyed the CDE and look forward to next year’s competition!
