I'm the owner and CEO of it. And then I teamed up with 00:04:53.879 --> 00:05:02.519 Chris. Chris is from Rockford. He owns Course Corrections. He does stuff with domestic violence 00:05:02.519 --> 00:05:07.800 and substance abuse over in Rockford. And so him and I teamed up together. So with this 16-week 00:05:07.800 --> 00:05:13.720 Program is called Pathways Forward. I focus on the mental health portion of it. He focuses on the 00:05:13.720 --> 00:05:18.920 substance abuse portion of it. And it's really just like we're sitting in here now, we'll bring up a 00:05:18.920 --> 00:05:25.560 topic. So this week, the topic was coping skills, right? So I asked him, have you became overwhelmed? 00:05:25.560 --> 00:05:30.120 Right? Everybody's become overwhelmed. What do you do when you become overwhelmed? What do you do when 00:05:30.120 --> 00:05:34.839 you become sad? What do you do when you become angry? And each person then went around and gave 00:05:34.839 --> 00:05:40.279 their story right so now is this a how you dealt with it is it an unhealthy coping skill is it 00:05:40.279 --> 00:05:45.399 a healthy coping skill which you consider to be neutral right and if it was unhealthy what do you 00:05:45.399 --> 00:05:53.079 think you could do to make it healthier right um and then young people are more i'm gonna say 00:05:53.079 --> 00:06:00.120 emotional and don't control their their thoughts per se they just look at the moment right and so 00:06:00.120 --> 00:06:07.639 teaching like looking at the moment can get you in trouble based off of the stuff we talk about right 00:06:07.639 --> 00:06:12.439 the stuff we talk about that's overwhelming them and their behaviors the students they were using 00:06:12.439 --> 00:06:18.040 someone was unhealthy and so looking at that and saying hey who else could this affect and what 00:06:18.040 --> 00:06:24.120 could have went wrong right you could have went to this person's house and you might be dead right 00:06:24.120 --> 00:06:33.000 Now, if you did, who's going to feel remorse for that? And in this situation, the kid would be like, 00:06:33.000 --> 00:06:37.079 hey, I went there because of my sister. So now your sister is going to feel remorse 00:06:37.079 --> 00:06:41.720 because somebody just said you did it because of her, right? And so it's really based on what 00:06:41.720 --> 00:06:46.680 they tell us or share with us is how we approach it. And so I could have used coping skills that 00:06:46.680 --> 00:06:52.360 I used in traditional counseling, but I'll incorporate that such as breathing techniques 00:06:52.360 --> 00:06:57.800 and, and music, you know, that stuff works, but being able to listen to them where they're at 00:06:57.800 --> 00:07:06.199 and finding out, hey, that's how we can change the skill. Probation gets a, a report every, 00:07:06.199 --> 00:07:11.800 the group is held on Mondays from five to six thirty at the Boys and Girls Club. Probation gets 00:07:11.800 --> 00:07:17.399 a report, what happened in the group, what was the topic about for that week, what was the topic 00:07:17.399 --> 00:07:22.639 talking about for next week, what were the attendance who all showed up and then the 00:07:22.639 --> 00:07:29.160 participation, did they participate? So we don't go into detail with probation about 00:07:29.160 --> 00:07:35.120 what was discussed, we just move over a general view of they participated, they showed up, 00:07:35.120 --> 00:07:39.319 this is what was talked about, this is what's going to be talked about next, is kind of 00:07:39.319 --> 00:07:43.560 what we do. Anybody got any questions? 00:07:43.560 --> 00:07:48.560 Yes, so we're sending the juveniles to this program, correct? 00:07:50.360 --> 00:07:53.199 What are we doing about juveniles 00:07:53.199 --> 00:07:55.040 that are kicked out of high school 00:07:55.040 --> 00:07:57.920 and to try to get their GED and stuff like that? 00:07:57.920 --> 00:07:59.420 Is that something you work with? 00:08:01.120 --> 00:08:03.560 So I don't specifically work with juveniles 00:08:03.560 --> 00:08:04.759 trying to get their GED. 00:08:05.759 --> 00:08:08.879 I mean, the kids that we hear are referred to 00:08:08.879 --> 00:08:10.360 by the probation officer. 00:08:10.360 --> 00:08:12.879 And so if they may be kicked out of school 00:08:12.879 --> 00:08:24.160 Yeah, that's a collaborative effort with the juvenile officer and other agencies to work 00:08:24.160 --> 00:08:31.160 with the families with truancy. They come over to probation and meet with us to discuss 00:08:31.160 --> 00:08:40.320 people who are on the brink of being kicked out of school. There's the GED program, but 00:08:40.320 --> 00:08:43.759 you know, you have to be engaged to get involved in that, 00:08:43.759 --> 00:08:48.679 but there are resources available in the community. 00:08:48.679 --> 00:08:50.860 So they work with their juvenile officer. 00:08:50.860 --> 00:08:52.919 I might recommend Chairman Helms, 00:08:52.919 --> 00:08:55.559 you're on the Workforce Connection Board. 00:08:55.559 --> 00:09:00.200 There's juvenile money for Stevenson County programs 00:09:00.200 --> 00:09:01.580 and stuff like that. 00:09:01.580 --> 00:09:03.440 You might want to collaborate with her. 00:09:03.440 --> 00:09:06.240 Maybe she already knows about some of these programs, 00:09:06.240 --> 00:09:09.440 but you know, there is programs 00:09:09.440 --> 00:09:16.220 through Goodwill Services, I believe that pays for them for their pre-test and then 00:09:16.220 --> 00:09:20.259 they're testing and they take care of that stuff. 00:09:20.259 --> 00:09:27.000 But there, you know, there's money allotted to Workforce Connection and, and it's no 00:09:27.000 --> 00:09:28.519 secret out there. 00:09:28.519 --> 00:09:35.480 It's been going on for years that it's a one-parent family situation, you know, and 00:09:35.720 --> 00:09:39.080 no male figure there at the house and stuff like that. 00:09:39.080 --> 00:09:45.000 and I won't say cyber-interrupting but I think that's why myself and Chris can relate to the kids 00:09:45.000 --> 00:09:51.240 because we both black males and they open up and talk to us and so they feel like they can relate 00:09:51.240 --> 00:09:56.600 to it. So when I first started I was thinking that it may be some resistance because either they know 00:09:56.600 --> 00:09:59.799 me or their parents know me and they know I used to be the police. 00:09:59.799 --> 00:10:02.000 know me and they knew I used to be the police and like when I was at the 00:10:02.000 --> 00:10:05.840 detention center one of the kids came in this same group and he was like hey 00:10:05.840 --> 00:10:10.080 weren't you at the detention center where I worked before? And I was like yeah he's like yeah I was 00:10:10.080 --> 00:10:15.840 lined up there. I go okay I recognize him too so they can relate to us because we look like them 00:10:15.840 --> 00:10:23.919 right so really. And I think that is important too because that relatability factor I mean 00:10:23.919 --> 00:10:42.919 Let's be honest, it's not there as much. There's not a lot of diversity within the department. But also, what is the comment that they made about probation? Because, you know, we try all these different things, but didn't they say what they say about probation that we do too much? 00:10:42.919 --> 00:11:12.919 What do you mean by that? Well, probation, they restrict our freedom is basically the main concern. They restrict our freedom. And so does probation restrict your freedom or the things that you do cause probation to put restrict your freedom, right? So what did you do? Let's talk about that. And so then they talk about what they did. And so if you really don't want to be on probation, then you might want to be on probation. You might want to be on probation. You might want to be on probation. 00:11:42.919 --> 00:11:48.519 I saw a couple at KFC, one of the kids went to KFC, and he had to come to the drive-thru 00:11:48.519 --> 00:11:50.000 one because this police saw me there. 00:11:50.000 --> 00:11:52.559 He's like, hey, that guy in pieces, I grew. 00:11:52.559 --> 00:11:54.279 And so we build connections. 00:11:54.279 --> 00:11:56.559 So what age are you working up to? 00:11:56.559 --> 00:11:57.559 18? 00:11:57.559 --> 00:11:58.559 18, yeah. 00:11:58.559 --> 00:11:59.559 18. 00:11:59.559 --> 00:12:05.960 Now, I know Mr. Newton that's on the board, he has a program that he's working with, too, 00:12:05.960 --> 00:12:12.279 with people, getting them prepared for jobs and stuff like that. 00:12:12.279 --> 00:12:17.080 I don't know if you're aware of that. I think he starts taking them at the age of 18. 00:12:17.080 --> 00:12:23.720 So that was one of the other things we talked about was the like the emerging young adults and maybe 00:12:23.720 --> 00:12:31.319 moving into that group as well which is like the 18 to 25 year olds. We do talk about doing that 00:12:31.319 --> 00:12:37.960 because we have a curriculum for that age group too. Probation, the juvenile officers, 00:12:37.960 --> 00:12:43.240 Juvenile Detectives, Big Detectives, Juvenile Lawsons, okay, Juvenile Lawsons thought it might be, 00:12:43.799 --> 00:12:49.000 well they may not want to come because there wouldn't be court order, it'll be voluntary, 00:12:49.879 --> 00:12:53.000 so there may be some pushback like I don't want to attend another group. 00:12:55.080 --> 00:12:59.159 So we have curriculum for it, it is in place right now. 00:12:59.879 --> 00:13:04.519 Juvenile probation has more flexibility in terms of what they can order them to do than what we can 00:13:04.519 --> 00:13:06.139 can do in adult court. 00:13:06.139 --> 00:13:09.000 If it's not specifically on a court order 00:13:09.000 --> 00:13:12.279 in the adult court, we're limited. 00:13:12.279 --> 00:13:17.279 So we may know someone is like using drugs, 00:13:17.740 --> 00:13:20.559 but they may not be ordered to test. 00:13:20.559 --> 00:13:24.100 So that order would have to be modified by the court. 00:13:24.100 --> 00:13:27.539 So our particular program that we feel might be beneficial 00:13:27.539 --> 00:13:29.519 may not be ordered by the court. 00:13:29.519 --> 00:13:34.519 whereas the Juneau officers have more of a window to say, 00:13:35.279 --> 00:13:37.319 okay, this is what we feel you need to do. 00:13:37.319 --> 00:13:41.080 It's more of an open court order, if that makes sense. 00:13:41.080 --> 00:13:44.000 It's more, it's a stronger suggestion. 00:13:44.000 --> 00:13:44.840 Is that it? 00:13:47.319 --> 00:13:49.919 So you see progress in this? 00:13:49.919 --> 00:13:52.200 I mean, they want to, you know, 00:13:52.200 --> 00:13:53.960 some just don't want to be helped 00:13:53.960 --> 00:13:56.080 and some want to be helped, you know. 00:13:56.080 --> 00:13:58.639 I will say all the cues that we got 00:13:58.639 --> 00:14:05.279 has been coming, you can see a difference from the beginning and some kids aren't in the group 00:14:05.279 --> 00:14:10.159 anymore, but I see them in the community and they still remember what was taught to them. 00:14:10.159 --> 00:14:15.759 So really I wanted to say, give them that absent what I said before of I can do something different. 00:14:15.759 --> 00:14:19.120 I don't have to respond this way. So I'm going to say, yeah, they've been affected by it. 00:14:20.160 --> 00:14:26.160 What exactly is the name of your 16 week program? Pathways Forward. Okay. Thank you. Yeah. 00:14:26.160 --> 00:14:33.759 Mr. Hale, I apologize. I didn't even recognize you there. And I somehow skipped over the 00:14:33.759 --> 00:14:42.039 paragraph saying you were going to be here. So thank you for coming. And I've been talking 00:14:42.039 --> 00:14:48.399 to the school board and accountability, in my opinion, is lacking in the school. And 00:14:48.399 --> 00:14:54.200 it sounds like you're addressing that at all, which I think is, you know, you're telling 00:14:54.200 --> 00:14:59.319 these kids, if you do this, that's why you're in probation, you know? So I think that's 00:14:59.319 --> 00:15:00.319 very important. 00:15:00.319 --> 00:15:03.319 We're going to have the Juvenile Detention Center. I always relate back to that, too. 00:15:03.319 --> 00:15:07.639 Like, hey, look, I was at the detention center, there were six kids in the first degree murder. 00:15:07.639 --> 00:15:13.519 They're going to be there for like 30, 40 years, right? So you have opportunity to change 00:15:13.519 --> 00:15:18.399 your life around. It's kind of up to you. You live here, you smoke and bleed because 00:15:18.399 --> 00:15:25.399 because you didn't pass the draft. We're in here for fighting, right? So it's not as serious as murdering somebody. 00:15:25.399 --> 00:15:28.399 Yeah. So let's do something about it. 00:15:28.399 --> 00:15:35.399 But like you said, they're making the choice from these things. So then they're being held accountable. That's great. That's a great program. 00:15:35.399 --> 00:15:44.399 And the other thing, Mr. Hadley, is if a juvenile isn't formally charged or if they have like an ordinance violation, 00:15:44.399 --> 00:15:47.960 and one of the things that we do is we'll put them 00:15:47.960 --> 00:15:51.899 in our life skills program, which is an online program. 00:15:51.899 --> 00:15:54.799 So we'll order them to take different courses based 00:15:54.799 --> 00:15:58.319 on what type of trouble they're getting into. 00:15:58.319 --> 00:16:01.779 So like if they may have like a disorderly conduct 00:16:01.779 --> 00:16:04.480 when they take an English management course. 00:16:05.399 --> 00:16:08.720 So there's various courses that they can take there too. 00:16:08.720 --> 00:16:11.200 And the PL may recommend they do something 00:16:11.200 --> 00:16:12.660 as a part of their sentence. 00:16:12.660 --> 00:16:30.279 We don't see a lot of ordinance violations for Freeport because it's prosecuted by different 00:16:30.279 --> 00:16:34.059 attorneys, prosecuted by their city attorney, and it's fine only. 00:16:34.059 --> 00:16:41.500 So they won't see them either in the pre-opulation. 00:16:41.500 --> 00:16:53.899 from Australia. So, like I was saying, each 16 weeks is a different subject. Nice. So, yeah. Very nice. What day of the week is that? Mondays from 5 to 6. There's the Boy and Girl's Club. 00:16:55.819 --> 00:17:01.500 And this is paid for out of probation service fees. Okay. And you're welcoming visitors? 00:17:02.379 --> 00:17:07.420 Oh, if you can let us know ahead of time, because I want to say is, because the kids are opened up and 00:17:07.420 --> 00:17:34.299 I'll just check in with Dr. McGee every now and then. 00:17:37.420 --> 00:17:40.539 How many participants do you have? 00:17:40.539 --> 00:17:44.220 So last, well this week we had, I think it was six. 00:17:45.539 --> 00:17:49.460 We've had nine, up to nine, nine or 10. 00:17:49.460 --> 00:17:51.779 Some of them got us in trouble 00:17:51.779 --> 00:17:53.019 when we had to start coming back to the group, 00:17:53.019 --> 00:17:54.139 but there wasn't a group who made it, 00:17:54.139 --> 00:17:56.460 but they removed them from the group. 00:17:57.619 --> 00:17:59.339 So now we've got about six. 00:17:59.339 --> 00:18:00.360 Okay. 00:18:00.360 --> 00:18:01.299 Yeah. 00:18:01.299 --> 00:18:02.119 Thank you. 00:18:02.119 --> 00:18:02.960 No problem. 00:18:02.960 --> 00:18:03.900 Yes, thanks a lot. 00:18:03.900 --> 00:18:07.900 Okay, and we'll move on to State's Attorney. 00:18:07.900 --> 00:18:10.099 Hi, for those that don't know me, my name is Tom Manning. 00:18:10.099 --> 00:18:12.259 I'm one of the Assistant State's Attorneys. 00:18:12.259 --> 00:18:13.660 Carl is out tonight. 00:18:13.660 --> 00:18:16.700 He is at Highland Community College 00:18:16.700 --> 00:18:19.019 Leadership Institute graduation. 00:18:19.019 --> 00:18:21.019 One of our attorneys, Alexis Heisel, 00:18:21.019 --> 00:18:23.819 is graduating from that program. 00:18:23.819 --> 00:18:27.099 We typically have someone from our office attend. 00:18:27.099 --> 00:18:29.860 All of those, I think the circuit clerk's office 00:18:29.860 --> 00:18:31.820 tries to be heavily involved with that as well. 00:18:31.820 --> 00:18:39.220 That's a good program, not only to gain some leadership skills, but also just to learn 00:18:39.220 --> 00:18:44.240 about the community, establish a network with other leaders within the community. 00:18:44.240 --> 00:18:47.099 So it's been very beneficial for our office. 00:18:47.099 --> 00:18:53.860 As far as Carl's report, I guess one of the main positives is for following the offenses. 00:18:53.860 --> 00:18:57.059 We closed more cases than we're open in the past month. 00:18:57.059 --> 00:19:01.579 It doesn't seem that way being in that courtroom, it always seems like it's always busy, but 00:19:01.579 --> 00:19:06.579 It is nice to see that and really everything's going pretty well in our office right now. 00:19:06.579 --> 00:19:09.579 So, anyone have any questions? 00:19:09.579 --> 00:19:11.579 Are you fully staffed? 00:19:11.579 --> 00:19:18.579 No, we're short. One position right now, we hired our victim witness coordinator, 00:19:18.579 --> 00:19:21.579 Kayden Goodman was hired as a 7-11 student attorney. 00:19:21.579 --> 00:19:28.579 So she's been handling juvenile abuse and neglect, juvenile delinquency and our felony petitions to revoke. 00:19:28.579 --> 00:19:58.000 Woke. She's been doing very well handling that. But when she's in the court room, we have to have an attorney with her supervising. That's the on caveat with that. So like this week, I've been in court supervising her Monday, Tuesday, and then today as well. We rotate off on that. So when she becomes fully licensed, she'll take the bar in February next year, she passes and then she'll get fully licensed and sworn in in May, we still be one short. 00:19:58.000 --> 00:19:58.920 and in May, we'd still be one short in our office yet. 00:19:58.920 --> 00:19:59.920 Okay. 00:19:59.920 --> 00:20:00.920 All right. 00:20:00.920 --> 00:20:05.650 Anybody have any questions? 00:20:05.650 --> 00:20:06.650 Almost dramatic. 00:20:06.650 --> 00:20:07.650 I appreciate your time. 00:20:07.650 --> 00:20:08.650 Thank you. 00:20:08.650 --> 00:20:11.730 You're welcome. 00:20:11.730 --> 00:20:17.609 I'm the United States Attorney, Circuit Clerk. 00:20:17.609 --> 00:20:28.609 Chanel is absent because she is also at the graduation for Chief Deputy Clerk Brandy Malan 00:20:28.609 --> 00:20:31.170 Con, I think her name is, she's graduating from today 00:20:31.170 --> 00:20:33.829 from the Leadership Institute at Highland College. 00:20:33.829 --> 00:20:35.569 So congratulations to her. 00:20:36.470 --> 00:20:41.150 And also in her department, 00:20:41.150 --> 00:20:44.230 Ellen Williams is retiring June 1st. 00:20:44.230 --> 00:20:47.430 She has 20 and a half years of dedicated service. 00:20:47.430 --> 00:20:50.150 So congratulations to Ellen and thanks Ellen 00:20:50.150 --> 00:20:52.529 for there's all those years of service. 00:20:52.529 --> 00:21:00.970 Other than that, we have the circuit clerk's report and I didn't see anything that anybody 00:21:00.970 --> 00:21:02.970 see any when they're there. 00:21:02.970 --> 00:21:03.970 Okay. 00:21:03.970 --> 00:21:04.970 All right. 00:21:04.970 --> 00:21:05.970 Now moving on. 00:21:05.970 --> 00:21:14.329 Youth diversion fees, this month we got $673.50 and I'm assuming that's what the balance is 00:21:14.329 --> 00:21:19.410 because we're pretty close, I'm not really sure, but we gave most of that away last month 00:21:19.410 --> 00:21:20.690 in the youth diversion fee. 00:21:20.690 --> 00:21:30.970 so we'll start over and go from there so 8.0 is old business seeing none 9.0 is new business 00:21:30.970 --> 00:21:38.460 does anybody have anything they want to share nope okay can I get a motion for adjournment 00:21:38.460 --> 00:21:44.019 so move second motion by Mr. Busker seconded by Mr. Hadley all those in favor say aye. 00:21:44.019 --> 00:21:45.019 Aye. 00:21:45.019 --> 00:21:48.660 All those opposed same sign thank you everyone thank you very much. 00:21:48.660 --> 00:22:04.660 I don't know how long we're going to have to wait to see if everything is going to work out. 00:22:04.660 --> 00:22:05.660 Yes sir. 00:22:05.660 --> 00:22:08.660 Are you serious?
