Career Chat
Not too long ago, a jobseeker could simply fill out an application, send in a resume, and they had a reasonable chance of landing a  job. But now, the process requires much more involvement. The jobseeker needs to gather as much information about a potential employer, as the employer will gather about the jobseeker. Learn more in this "Career Chat". |

New Online Access to Court Records
Clerk of the Circuit Court Keith S. Brin launched a new Public Access System last week. The Public Access System provides a secure way for individuals to obtain basic information on any court case in Lake County - from checking on a future court date and amounts due, to parties involved in a case. Through the Public Access System, people won't have to call or come in to the Circuit Clerk's office when they need basic information on a court case. Instead, users can get the information at a time that is convenient for them, and completely free of charge. This new system uses technology to extend limited resources and deliver a better and more efficient service to the taxpayers of Lake County.

Lake County Forest Preserve News
New Community Garden
Lake County Forest Preserve Commissioners, other project  partners and members of the Manna Garden Initiative broke ground on the new Southside Manna Community Garden in Waukegan last week. The garden is located on the corner of McKinley and Oak near St. Martin de Porres High School in southeast Waukegan.
In August 2012, the Lake County Forest Preserves acquired a vacant parcel of land through a tax sale, in a favorable location for use as a community garden. The Manna Garden Project will develop the site, growing food for those in need while providing demonstration gardens and environmental education opportunities to the public.
The Manna Garden Initiative launched a free farmers market in 2011, providing underserved communities in Waukegan with an oasis of fresh, affordable foods from local backyards, churches, community gardens, grocers and food banks. To date, this grassroots movement has distributed over 52,000 pounds of food, planted 30 local gardens and trained over 100 people to grow their own food.
