MCC Receives Continued Accreditation

McHenry County College Board and staff received welcome news this past week. The Higher Learning Commission has recommended the reaffirmation of the College’s Accreditation. This news was provided to the Board of Trustees at Thursday evening’s Board meeting.

MCC President Vicky Smith provided the news to the Board noting that “A Program Review Panel evaluated our documents and rated us on each one of the Higher Learning Commission’s five criteria. Following their recap of our accomplishments for each criterion they reported that each component was met with no follow-up recommended”.

President Smith provided a direct quote from their report:
“The Reaffirmation Panel notes that McHenry County College has been responsive to feedback and counsel received through its Systems Appraisal and Quality Checkup visit, clearly demonstrating the institution’s commitment to continuous quality improvement. This responsiveness is evident in the institutional changes that have occurred since the Systems Portfolio was written such as its commitment to train faculty, staff, and administrators in quality concepts. Emphasis has been given to institutional effectiveness and assessment, as noted by current Action Projects focusing on institutional effectiveness and student success. “

What is the meaning of accreditation for students as well as residents of the MCC District.?

Accreditation is an assurance that education provided by McHenry County College meets acceptable levels of quality. Accrediting agencies have no legal control over institutions or programs. However, they promote certain standards and approve or renew membership of institutions that apply and meet the accreditation standards or criteria.

Certain licensing programs may require an institution to go through a course of study with specialized accreditation, because it ensures that the course is being taught by faculty qualified to teach in that field.

The US Secretary of Education and the Council for Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA) each maintain and publish a list of nationally recognized accrediting agencies, and most institutions attain eligibility for Federal funds by holding accredited or pre-accredited status with one of the recognized accrediting agencies.

The Other Side

Following is information we found in the alternative news: Just thought we’d share it.

"The Affordable Care Act's requirement that certain individuals pay a financial penalty for not obtaining health insurance may reasonably be characterized as a tax," wrote Chief Justice John Roberts.

Regardless of what you think about Obamacare itself, the red alert in all this is that, with this decision, the U.S. Supreme Court has granted the federal government unlimited power over your take-home paycheck.


The government can now FORCE you to buy things you may not even want or need, and there is no limit to what the government can now force you to buy.


Even worse, the Obamacare system excludes natural medicine. There is no freedom to choose nutritional therapies, herbal remedies, naturopathic medicine or the Healing Arts. The entire system is focused on drugs, surgery, chemotherapy and radiation. It's a Big Pharma monopoly that we are now forced to buy into.


Here's
 breaking news report on this subject:
http://www.naturalnews.com/036329_Obamacare_Supreme_Court_economic_freedom.html


This is on top of the huge breaking news published late last night, about Merck being accused of running a 10-year vaccine fraud that sought to falsify data about its mumps vaccines:

http://www.naturalnews.com/036328_Merck_mumps_vaccine_False_Claims_Act.html

Health Care Involved In Upcoming Election

The National Libertarian Party issued the following statement today:

Supreme Court Obamacare Decision Highlights Why a President Romney Would be More Dangerous than President Obama

A President Mitt Romney would not undo ObamaCare. He’d make it permanent.

The Supreme Court Ruling on ObamaCare does not matter. It will make little difference to America in the short run, and no difference in the long run.

Why? Because almost all elected Republicans and Democrats are Big Government politicians – in all things – including health care. After this Supreme Court decision, they will get back to work expanding government involvement in all things – especially health care.

One thing could make things worse. Electing Republican Mitt Romney President.
Why?
Republicans fiercely oppose, and often defeat Democratic Party attempts to massively expand government involvement in Health Care – such as HillaryCare.

But Democrats usually vote for Republican Party legislation to massively expand

government’s role in Health Care.

Republican President George Bush’s $1.1 Trillion Government Prescription Drug Program was voted into law by Republicans and Democrats.

Republican Governor Mitt Romney’s Massachusetts state government expansion into Massachusetts health care – RomneyCare – was voted into law by both Republicans and Democrats. With virtually no resistance.
A Republican-controlled House of Representatives and US Senate would oppose Democratic President Barack Obama’s health care proposals.
But a Republican majority House of Representatives and US Senate would support and vote for a Republican President Mitt Romney’s Big Government health care proposals. And most Democrats in the House and Senate would, too.

What Republican Governor Romney did to Massachusetts’ health care, a Republican President Romney would do to America’s health care.


A President Mitt Romney would not undo ObamaCare. He’d make it permanent.

A first-term President Mitt Romney would be far more dangerous to small business, the private sector, and taxpayers than a lame-duck President Obama – no matter what the Supreme Court decided.

Other Side To Health Care Law

Congressman Don Manzullo (R-Egan) issued the following statement in response to the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision on the President’s health care law:

“The President’s health care law is wreaking havoc on our economy by surging health insurance costs for Americans, hiking taxes, and hurting the efforts of small employers to put Americans back to work. In fact, I have already heard from small business owners in northern Illinois who will either lay off workers or forgo new hires in order to stay below the 50-employee threshold that would require them to purchase costly insurance for their employees.


“Americans are rightfully concerned that their employer-provided health insurance is threatened with this new law, and they don’t want it. I will join with our leaders in the House and support full repeal of the President’s health care law and instead pursue reforms that will truly make health care more affordable and accessible for all Americans without destroying our economy and stifling job creation in America.”
 

Hill Road Bridge Remains Closed

The Hill Road Bridge over the North Branch Nippersink Creek just east of the Village of Richmond in Richmond Township, which was closed in January of this year, will remain closed through the Spring/Summer of 2013. The closure was due to a loss of structural integrity of several bridge deck beams and significant pile deterioration.

The bridge was originally scheduled for construction to take place during the summer of 2012 to replace the bridge.  While the design was completed and bids opened by the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT), contract procurement issues encountered by IDOT have necessitated in the project needing to be re-bid.

Local residents are advised to continue to use US 12/ IL 31 south to U.S. 12 east to North Solon Road then north as the posted detour route.

The Hill Road Bridge is located east of Richmond village limits east of the public library. Hill Road has its western terminus at US 12/IL 31 and its eastern terminus at North Solon Road. Please see the attached location map.

Theft From Employer

Louis A. Bianchi, McHenry County State’s Attorney, announces that Clarissa Schauer, 40, of Cary was sentenced today to four years in the Illinois Department of Corrections for the class 1 felony offense of Theft.

Between December 12, 2005 and September 17, 2009 Schauer knowingly obtained unauthorized control over $185, 741.48 from the company World Trans International. 

During this period of time the Defendant was an employee of World Trans International.  Her responsibilities included dispersing checks to vendors of the company.  Over the course of her employment, the Defendant issued numerous checks to herself and not to the designated vendors, resulting in the permanent deprivation to World Trans of the aforementioned amount.

Schauer was also ordered to pay the full amount in restitution to the Company, although she was only able to produce a small portion of the restitution prior to sentencing.

This case was investigated by the Algonquin Police Department and was prosecuted by Robert Zalud and David Johnston of the McHenry County State’s Attorney’s Office.

New Purchasing Director For McHenry County

McHenry County will have a new Purchasing Director.  Don Gray has been a Buyer in the McHenry County Purchasing Department for the past year and has accumulated 30+ years of procurement experience.  Effective Monday, July 2, Don Gray will be replacing retiring Purchasing Director Catherine Link.

Catherine Link has held the position of Director of Purchasing for McHenry County, for the last eight years and has over 30 years of government purchasing experience. 

Catherine Link is a Certified Professional Public Buyer through the National Institute of Governmental Purchasing (NIGP) and has been recognized for her excellence and dedication by her colleagues through her involvement in public procurement including: the 1995 Illinois Buyer of the Year award for the Illinois Association of Public Procurement and the 2008 Illinois Purchasing Manager of the Year Award.   Catherine Link was also the runner-up for the 2008 NIGP Purchasing Manager of the Year Award.

In assuming the role of Director of Purchasing, Don Gray will continue in Cathy Link’s legacy of establishing McHenry County as an example of ethical and equitable government procurement.

Guidelines For Appointing Special Prosecutors

A piece of legislation sponsored by Representative Mike Tryon, R-64 and of particular interest to McHenry County taxpayers.

Bill to Curb use of Special Prosecutors Heads to Governor
Legislation that places strict guidelines in place for judges who wish to appoint special prosecutors to investigate elected officials gained unanimous support this year in both the House and Senate. 

Tryon explains, “I was a sponsor of this bill. House Bill 4797 was filed in response to the excessive bills associated with an investigation of McHenry County States Attorney Lou Bianchi, who was eventually acquitted on all charges.

To date, the taxpayers of McHenry County have had to pay more than $525,000 in special prosecutor costs.  According to the bill, before a judge can appoint a special prosecutor, he/she must first exhaust all efforts to find a state’s attorney from another county or the Illinois Attorney General to do the work. If it is determined that a special prosecutor must be hired, the bill includes language that gives county boards a voice in discussions regarding costs and the right to see itemized bills.”
