Huntley rejects alcohol sales at gas stationsBy ZACH BROOKE

zbrooke@shawmedia.com

HUNTLEY – The Huntley Village Board voted to keep in place a ban on alcohol sales at gas stations.

At the village Committee of the Whole meeting July 16, the board voted 4-2 not to alter existing village code, which prohibits liquor licenses from being issued to businesses that sell gasoline or gasoline-relat-ed products.

Trustee Timothy Hoeft said he had surveyed other Huntley gas station owners, who urged

him not to change the policy.“Those that are here want

to keep it as it is,” Hoeft said.After being approached by

a petitioner who wanted to build a gas station and conve-nience store on the village’s south side, Huntley village Manager Dave Johnson had asked the Village Board to con-sider amending policy to allow gas stations to sell alcohol.

According to Johnson, the petitioner requested the ability to sell beer and wine. To do so, he or she would have needed a Class D liquor license, which allows the sale of all types of

sealed-container alcohol.Trustee Harry Leopold said

he wanted to keep sealed-con-tainer alcohol sales limited to stores.

“I think we have enough now,” Leopold said.

“I agree,” village President Charles Sass said.

Other trustees expressed concern that if they allowed gas stations to have liquor li-censes, they would have to al-low gambling licenses.

There was some support for the measure, however.

“It doesn’t bother me at all,” Trustee Rhonda Goldman

said. “We’re selling beer and liquor in many other loca-tions, so I’m not opposed.”

Another “no” vote, trustee Niko Kanakaris said he could consider changing his vote in the future but not right now.

According to an analysis con-ducted by Johnson’s office, sev-eral surrounding municipalities – including Algonquin, Crystal Lake, Woodstock and Lake in the Hills – all allow some form of alcohol sales at businesses that sell gasoline, although there are various restrictions on the types of alcohol that can be sold and the hours of sale.

Wells becomes Pioneer center president, CEO

By ZACH BROOKE zbrooke@shawmedia.com

McHENRY – Pioneer Cen-ter for Human Services has named Jackie Wells the orga-nization’s new president and CEO.

Wells, who assumed the role June 30, comes to the Pioneer Center from the Mil-waukee Center for Indepen-dence – a nonprofit provider of life-changing programs and services for children and adults with disabilities – where she was vice president of employment services.

“It’s an amazing organiza-tion, and I really feel honored that they trusted me to run the organization,” Wells said. “I’ve really dedicated my ca-reer to human services. I defi-nitely feel like it’s a calling for me.”

Before that, Wells worked with the YMCA of Metro Mil-waukee, the Waisman Cen-ter at the University of Wis-consin-Madison, Concordia University and Disability Rights Wisconsin, according to a Pioneer Center news re-lease.

Wells also served on the Metro Milwaukee Society for Human Resources Workforce Readiness Committee. She has a bachelor’s degree in pre-law from the University of Iowa, and a master’s degree

More parents helping millennials buy 1st homes

By EMILY K. COLEMAN ecoleman@shawmedia.com

HARVARD – Alex Hatha-way is starting at McHenry County College this fall with the idea of going into sports management or business – but he’s also learning the ins-and-outs of real estate with his first investment property.

The 18-year-old Harvard High School graduate pur-chased a duplex in Capron this month, using his own money saved up from birthdays, hol-idays and working for his dad to cover the down payment, but like many millennials he needed some help to get a loan in the tough credit market. His father co-signed on the loan.

“First, I wasn’t too keen on [the idea of purchasing the property],” Hathaway said. “The one thing I asked him was if I did this, could I do the sports thing. ... That’s what sold me on it – the abil-ity to have the freedom to do what I want.”

MARENGO – At about 35 hours a week, what started off as a hobby for 16-year-old Julia Maddock takes up nearly enough time to be a full-time job.

In a barn on her parents’ prop-erty in Marengo, Maddock keeps rabbits. Many rabbits.

“Right now we have like 70,” she said. “We have a lot of babies right now. It sounds crazy, but 35 cages is what I work with. People think it sounds like a lot, but it’s really not.”

As part of running Forever Dutch Rabbitry, Maddock does tours of the barn twice a day, checking on water in the morning, feeding them at night.

Then there’s adding supplements if she’s showing the rabbit to make sure the coat is in the best condition, deworming every few months and

checking on the bunnies to make sure the mothers are feeding them. Plus she does a large-scale clean at least once a week, usually on Sundays.

There’s nothing in particular that made Maddock want to own her first rabbit, she said, other than the animals have been a part of her life for years. But it’s clear she’s passionate and could talk about rabbits for days.

Her first rabbit, which she got when she was 7 and living in Kan-sas, was named Oreo because of his color. Her first show rabbit was named Kansas, and the next rab-bits’ names followed suit, such as Wyoming, Oregon and Ohio.

She’s also had themes going, such as the “Hunger Games”-inspired Kat-niss and Finnick, or names that just sounded cool, like Maniac or Revenge.

in educational psychology from the University of Wis-consin–Milwaukee.

Wells was selected from an initial pool of 100 appli-cants, according to Mike Moushey, chairman of the Board of Directors for Pio-neer Center.

“ W e w e r e l o o k i n g for somebody that has a breadth of experience to run the organization and the strategic outlook to be able to drive it where we need to go in the future,” Moushey said.

Moushey said Wells’ back-ground, particularly in re-gard to managed care, was

exactly what the organization needed in its CEO.

“Just the total package she was able to bring to the table ... to us, it was a perfect fit,” he said.

Moushey said Pioneer Center is in the middle of a 90-day plan, drawn up in part by Wells, that will introduce her to the community and address pressing budget is-sues.

The Pioneer Center is the county’s largest social service agency. Started in 1958 in McHenry County by Veronica Huff and a small group of parents of children with development disabil-ities, it now offers a broad range of social services in several locations throughout McHenry County.

“I do name them all, and I have a lot of fun naming them,” Maddock said.

A member of the Legendary Pioneers 4-H Club, Maddock started a SPIN, or special inter-est, club of her own called the Happy Hoppers. It’s the first of its kind in Illinois, meeting monthly to learn about topics such as selecting a rabbit and grooming.

“In the future, I’m hoping we can build on that,” Maddock said. “All the kids are just get-ting started this year, so we’re keeping things really basic.”

Taking note of her SPIN club, an organization granted Maddock the Doc Reed schol-

arship, open to 4-H and Amer-ican Rabbit Breeders Associ-ation members, to attend an animal science workshop in June at Purdue University.

She focuses on two breeds – Dutch and Beveren – the first of which she raises, shows, and sells.

“In a nutshell, the standard of perfection describes the per-fect rabbit for every breed,” she said. “The goal is to breed a rab-bit that is as close to the stan-dard of perfection as possible.”

For the Dutch breed, that includes a line of white across their backs called saddle mark-ing, well-placed behind the shoulder, straight and even.

But markings aren’t every-thing. Body structure must be on point, too.

In November, Maddock

bought a trio of Beverens, which is an old breed but un-common in the United States.

“There’s so much interest in them and people wanting to have one,” Maddock said. “I wanted to start raising them and help them regain populari-ty, which is really cool for me.”

Although her herd is large enough that it requires a significant time commit-ment, rabbits are generally low-maintenance and inexpen-sive, Maddock said.

A pet rabbit can cost around $20, but show rabbits are in the $60 to $100 range.

“You can really feed the rabbit for about $25 for the year,” Maddock said. “If you just want one rabbit, the big-gest cost is buying the cage and getting all that set up.”

Farmers markets’ bounty keeps growingBy KATIE DAHLSTROM

kdahlstrom@shawmedia.com

One of the biggest trends at farmers markets might not be a growing one.

Rather, local vendors say it’s a

butchered, knitted and milled one.As farmers markets continue

to draw customers, vendors and market managers contend the com-plementary wares such as breads, meats and handmade goods create the full market experience. It’s a

change in recent years that people such as meat purveyor Nick Janovs-ki believe is fueled by customers’ increasing desire for all things local.

“I think that fruits and vegeta-bles will always be the main draw of a farmers market,” Janovski

said. “But you need to have good complementary farmers and small businesses to make the farmers market complete.”

His father, Marc Hathaway, has been making investments in real estate since October 2003 when, as a construction worker, he looked for a way to supplement his income and minimize the volatility that came with the construction business. He now does proper-ty management full-time.

“To me, it’s the ultimate way to build wealth,” the Har-vard-based businessman said. “You have somebody else pay-ing the mortgage for you and

building the wealth for you. Sure, there’s the stock mar-ket, but you don’t have control over it.”

Hathaway is not the only par-ent making the decision to assist his son by helping him purchase a home, said real estate agent Tyler Lewke of Lewke Partners in Crystal Lake.

Lewke is seeing a number of parents purchasing proper-ty for their children – either using it as an income stream to help pay for college or as the child’s first home.

About 17 percent of parents surveyed this year expect to help their millennial-age chil-

dren purchase a home in the fu-ture, up from 13 percent of par-ents who said they did over the past five years, according to re-search conducted by loanDepot.

About half of those who expect to help think their con-tribution will be toward the down payment, the research found. About 20 percent said they would cover closing costs and 20 percent said they will co-sign the loan.

The increase comes as in-terest rates and housing prices remain low, Lewke said, add-ing he expects to see the per-centage of parents co-signing go up and covering down pay-

ments go down as the housing market improves.

They’re using money that’s not performing elsewhere be-cause real estate is more acces-sible as an investment strate-gy right now, Lewke said.

“This is a new thing that I didn’t see before,” he said.

The trend isn’t ubiquitous, however, Marengo-based real estate agent Alison Siambanis said, adding she’s seeing some-thing a little bit different: Par-ents who don’t want to sell their homes at current prices renting their homes to a child so the parents can retire out of state.

She wonders if there’s a ru-

ral-suburban disconnect that makes the parents helping out less common in her territory.

“I don’t really have a lot of parents helping their children out [through co-signing or gifting a down payment],” Si-ambanis said. “Most parents I know don’t want to get involved. They’re having their own is-sues. They’re hurting, too.”

Assistance with the down payment also is looking like less of an option nationwide with 50 percent expecting to contribute in the future, com-pared with 65 percent having contributed over the past five years, loanDepot’s study found.

Demand is high for group homes

By ALLISON GOODRICH agoodrich@shawmedia.com

A Lake in the Hills residence ten-tatively planned for the fall would be a step – though a small one – toward providing the disabled population some much-needed support, area hu-man service providers say.

Pioneer Center for Human Ser-vices has 11 existing group homes in McHenry County for those with intel-lectual or developmental disabilities, and it’s looking to establish at least two more in the relatively near fu-ture. But even that won’t come close to meeting the demand for residen-tial support, said Sam Tenuto, direc-tor of community living services.

“The need in our county and in the state for group homes has been both significant and consistent for sever-al years now,” he said, later adding, “With our upcoming plans – we just opened a home in Crystal Lake – we’re looking to open one in Lake in the Hills for four people and one in Al-gonquin serving another five people.

“That’s 13 people, though. It’s an important service, and it’s much needed, but we’re making a very small dent.”

The state’s Department of Human Services maintains a waiting list of sorts, called Prioritization for Ur-gency of Need for Services, or PUNS, which essentially is a database of people with developmental disabili-ties waiting for services.

Tenuto estimated the population of people with intellectual or develop-mental disabilities at roughly 5,000 in the county. He said as of August 2014, almost 390 local people were listed in the PUNS database, waiting for resi-dential services with 24-hour support. Another 174 were waiting for residen-tial services without 24-hour support.

But those currently receiving sup-port by way of group homes?

“We’ve got a pretty small number who live in group homes,” Executive

Director of Options and Advocacy Cindy Sullivan said, adding it’s prob-ably no more than 110 people.

Group homes – licensed and reg-ulated by DHS, Tenuto said – help people with intellectual or develop-mental disabilities gain a sense of independence and help families who have reached a point where they can no longer effectively care for their loved ones with disabilities.

This can be key for those transi-tioning out of the education services

provided until age 22, and to those who have lost caregivers, Tenuto and Sullivan said.

For Annette Johnson of South El-gin, placing her son, 23-year-old Blake, into a group home was one of the hard-est but best moves she’s made.

“Autism is a very, very stress-ful disorder,” Johnson said, adding Blake is nonverbal and requires con-stant care. “When I first started with

all of this, the intention was to take care of him at home.”

It soon became clear that she would need to enlist out-side help, which is how Blake ended up first in a program in Naperville, then the child-des-ignated Pioneer home in Cary, and now a group home in Lakewood.

“He’s made huge strides since being in a group home,” Johnson said. “He used to bang on the windows during entire car rides, and being in the group home, staff have taught him to sit on his hands and now he does that auto-matically.”

Getting to where he is has been a blessing for her and her family, Johnson said, but the road there was not smooth. Finding a potential home for her son was extremely difficult.

“There’s definitely a lack of group homes,” she said. “With the rise in autism, there needs to be more, espe-cially as people get older.”

Efforts to balance the sup-ply and demand for these community-integrated living arrangements have proved dif-ficult, service providers said. For someone who’s already been placed on the PUNS list, the next step would be waiting to be chosen, which can take some time, they added.

People are selected to re-ceive services based on the length of time in the database, the urgency of need, the geo-graphic area of the state, and a number of other factors, said Veronica Vera, acting director of communications for DHS.

Vera added a person can be pulled from the database for an emergency placement, and if it is in fact a “crisis sit-uation,” the placement could be made within 72 hours. But Sullivan said that requires someone to fall into some “pretty awful” circumstances.

“You have to lose your caregivers, face imminent homelessness or have been abused with documented proof,” she said.

Otherwise, she added, the database doesn’t ensure ser-vices – a notion spelled out on the DHS page: “Enrolling in PUNS does not confirm that you are eligible for services nor guarantee that services will be provided.”

Sullivan also highlight-

ed the cost of operating and maintaining group homes.

“I would say [it] usually [costs] about $50,000 to $55,000 per person for 24-hour care,” Sullivan estimated. “Food, gas, all the things that you need to operate a home, plus paying for staff.”

Vera explained once some-one is pulled from the PUNS list, the family is first noti-fied. Then, the family can connect with a provider, and it’s the provider that coordi-nates with DHS to translate the funding into residential services for that person.

The other side of this, which Tenuto stressed, is the fact that even when a family gets that notification, McHen-ry County currently lacks housing options for the devel-opmentally disabled.

“There are people in our county who have been award-ed funding,” he said. “Now, they’re just waiting for pro-

viders like Pioneer to open a home.”

Which is why Pioneer is pursuing a home in Lake in the Hills, an option Tenuto approached the village about in June.

Since then, Lake in the Hills has become aware of necessary ordinance amend-ments to simplify the process of bringing a group home into the village. Those amend-ments recently were recom-mended for approval by the Planning and Zoning Com-mission and are on their way to the Village Board.

If approved, Tenuto has said Pioneer definitely in-tends to move forward with establishing the home.

“The wait could last sev-eral years as far as DHS goes,” Tenuto said, referring to people being pulled from the PUNS list. “On our end, though, now we’re trying to develop the infrastructure.”

Farmer Nick’s, based on about 40 acres in Spring Grove, has sold meat to the Crystal Lake Farm-ers Market for 15 years. Crystal Lake’s Saturday market is one of 14 he attends to make a liv-ing selling grass-fed pork, beef, chicken, turkey and eggs.

Janovski said customers of-ten buy his products to go with vegetables, breads and cheeses they also pick up at the market.

“Farmers markets are more of a place where people shop weekly,” Janovski said. “They come and buy a pound of ba-con, a pound of ground beef.”

Many farmers markets statewide have departed from the strictly farm-stand feel they once had, said Dale Ha-zlewood, a board member for the Illinois Farmers Market Association and the national Farmers Market Coalition. Hazlewood also is the market manager for the Aurora Farm-ers Market.

“I think farmers markets are pretty much what the old main streets used to be,” Ha-zlewood said. “Just like main streets used to be the market-place, they are once again be-coming those meeting places and diverse economic engines.”

He said the state farmers market association is in the

midst of gauging what kinds of vendors make up the roughly 500 markets across the state. But he gets a sense that meat sellers are on the rise. Handmade soaps and knitted items also occupy a slew of booths, and knife sharp-eners are starting to appear more often, he said.

At the Woodstock Farm-ers Market, a producer-only market where vendors are re-quired to show proof they grew or created the product, market manager Keith Johnson said visitors will find flowers, hon-ey and balloon animals sprin-kled among meat, fruits and vegetables. Meanwhile, shop-pers can listen to a local musi-cian playing from the gazebo.

That wasn’t always the case.

“It used to be a farmers market was pumpkin and squash and tomatoes, but now it’s broadened out,” Johnson said.

About half of the more than 30 vendors at the Woodstock market offer items other than produce. Those ancillary prod-ucts have become part of the experience.

“Music, what does it really do?” Johnson asked.”It cre-ates an atmosphere. It makes it more of an event. Maybe the cook of the family will be around shopping for product and the other person will be looking for something else.”
