Bill drafted by Illinois high schoolers would mandate vape disposal programs

By JENNA SCHWEIKERT Capitol News Illinois jschweikert@capitolnewsillinois.com A bill drafted by two Illinois high school students would require producers of electronic smoking devices like vapes to manage the disposal of the devices through stewardship programs.

The programs would collect used smoking devices and recycle or safely dispose of the parts. Producers can either establish their own stewardship program or, with other producers, form a statewide producer responsibility organization (PRO) to establish a group program.

Producers would also be required to finance the programs and inform consumers of their disposal options.

Andrew Diaz and Allison Hovaniec, students at Pontiac High School in central Illinois, worked with Rep. Kelly Cassidy, D-Chicago, and the Illinois Environmental Council to draft and introduce the bill.

The students came up with the idea through an assignment in a government class.

“As we kind of realized that it’s a widespread problem and that there are vapes all over the environment, we ended up deciding that we wanted to kind of make this a legislation,” Hovaniec said, emphasizing the longevity of the bill if it is passed into law. “It’s not just something that will just kind of go away after a while.”

Meeting a need Electronic smoking devices, also known as e-cigarettes or vapes, pose environmental and public health risks due to the batteries, metals, plastics and hazardous substances such as nicotine in them, said Jen Walling, CEO of the IEC, a Springfield-based organization that represents environmental groups and nonprofits.

As they are not recyclable due to the materials, most devices end up in landfills. Because of their growing popularity and single-use nature, they are an increasing concern among environmental activists.

The stewardship programs proposed in the bill would operate similarly to other waste disposal initiatives, like those for electronics. The goal is to provide an incentive for consumers and producers to care about the disposal of the devices, Walling said.

“I just think that there are consumers that care about this, and there will be efforts by the industry to try to meet certain goals where they need to collect these, so they’re going to go out of their way to try and get more,” Walling said. “That might mean different education or different incentives that they offer consumers, or you know, maybe just putting it in convenient places for people to be able to dispose of them.”

The bill provides no enforcement provisions.

Brand owners, as the primary owners and manufacturers of the devices, would be required to establish a program or to join a PRO within two years of the bill’s effective date.

If the brand owner cannot be identified or isn’t subject to state jurisdiction, the responsibility falls to the importer, then the distributor, then the seller.

The programs must be financed by the producers or PROs and are subject to approval by the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency. Producers out of compliance could be subject to a civil penalty of up to $10,000.

Bill development Diaz and Hovaniec settled on their idea after they were tasked with creating a project that would impact their community. Through discussions with their parents and teacher Paul Ritter, they decided to draft a piece of legislation about vape disposal.

The pair first reached out to Cassidy in the fall, who directed them to work with the IEC on drafting the bill.

“I’m concerned about a lot of different impacts of vaping, to be perfectly honest with you,” Cassidy said. “These batteries are just getting thrown into the garbage. ... There’s a lot of reasons to want to control these products.”

For Cassidy, working with the students on an issue she is already concerned about was a “no brainer,” she said.

“We definitely want (legislators) to know it’s something that the youth does care about. It’s something that we want to change,” Hovaniec said. “We talk about it a lot, I know, especially like when you become seniors and when we go into college, like vapes are such a widely talked about concept, and representatives and senators don’t really know that.”

The pair said they are deeply motivated to accomplish their goal.

“It’s definitely something that taught us that we need to, like, think about what we’re doing and put intent in everything we’re doing,” Hovaniec said. “Everything you put into something you most likely will get out and I feel like the experience, it’s kind of just, it’s life changing, honestly.”

Cassidy filed the bill Jan. 29. It was referred to committee on Feb. 2 and is awaiting a hearing.

“It truly is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity in this class,” Diaz said. “It really is an eye-opening experience, because you will learn more about the government in this class than you ever will in civics.”

ESPIRITU DE DIOS

RICHARD ZEKVELD “Our Father in heaven.... your kingdom come,” we pray in the Lord’s Prayer. When King Jesus came to earth 2000 years ago as a baby, he was invading enemy-occupied territory to deliver us and all creation from Satan’s rule to live under God’s rule. Christ came to destroy Satan, right all that is wrong, and restore us and all creation to thrive under God’s rule again. He roundly defeated sin, Satan, and death by dying on the cross in our place for our sin and rebellion. He rose as conquering king. Now he rules in heaven’s oval office, directing God’s kingdom mission on earth. One day, King Jesus will return to finish off Satan for good and restore heaven on earth forever.

So where is God’s kingdom on earth? Can you point to a zip code and say, “This is it!”? Can you point to a nation influenced by Christian ideals with professing Christian leaders and say, “This is it!”? No. God’s kingdom on earth is not tied to any country, capital, people, or place. Now, thank God that nations and cultures can be influenced, shaped, and leavened by the principles and priorities of King Jesus in ways that bless all – Christians and non-Christians alike. But that’s not the same as identifying the kingdom of God with one nation.

When Jesus was on trial before Governor Pilate, he clearly stated, “My kingdom is not of this world.

If my kingdom were of this world, my servants would have been fighting, that I might not be delivered over to the Jews. But my kingdom is not from the world” (John 18:36, ESV).

So where is Christ’s kingdom on earth, then?

Can you point to it? Yes, you can. More on that next week.

Y? WHY NOT!

What You Put in Is What You Get Out

by Janice R Newman Have you ever planted seeds in a garden? You can’t toss the seeds on the ground, walk away, and expect nature to do the rest for great plants.

Birds will come and eat the seeds.

Last year, my husband, Phil and I tried gardening. It was hard work assembling the planters, adding soil, planting the seeds, watering daily, weeding, and lastly, harvesting the crops. The abundance of our harvest correlated to the work we put in. Life is like gardening; you expect good results based on the effort you put in. Galatians 6:7 reminds us, “…for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.” What you do today will create and shape tomorrow’s results.

Everybody wants good outcomes, but they do not always put in good input. Then they wonder why things didn’t turn out right. They hope for success without effort and blessings without work. But life is not like that. If you want good results- good effort and work must come from you.

Ponder on these: Parenting: Everyone would love to be a great parent. It would be easy if children were born knowing how to behave and right from wrong. Kids learn from what they see and hear.

If you don’t spend time teaching, guiding, correcting, and loving your children, then you shouldn’t be surprised when problems show up at school or in life. If you’re too busy, too distracted, or can careless the results are going to be disappointing. Now, if you invest time, patience, love and instill strong values in your children, they often will be respectable, responsible, and confident.

Marriage: A strong marriage does not just happen. It’s a full-time job with 100% effort. It requires communicating, forgiveness, kindness, and time together. If a husband or wife stops trying, listening, or caring, the relationship will deteriorate. You cannot ignore your marriage and expect to stay married. If you do not put in love and effort, do not be

shocked if the result is distancing or even divorce. But when you both work at your marriage, support each other, and grow together, you will reap joy and a life partnership.

Work: If you want a raise or a promotion, you must show up and work. Effort, focus, and a good attitude are essential. If you are lazy, late, or lackadaisical, you shouldn’t expect a raise but to get fired. You can’t start working when they decide to fire you. You can’t expect others to do your work either and still receive the credit. Businesses succeed because owners and workers put in long hours, plan, customer service, and build a strong reputation. Hard work pays; no work doesn’t.

God: Many people want blessings, peace, and good fortune. But they don’t pray, read the Bible, or develop a relationship with God to seek His will. God helps us, but He does not force Himself on us. He allows us to have free will. If we want a closer relationship with Him, we must put in time, faith, and effort. We sow through prayer, obedience, and faith. Then, we reap spiritual strength, comfort, and direction. Again, “as you sow, so shall you reap.”

This does not mean life is always easy or fair. Sometimes we work hard and still face challenges. But typically, the amount of effort you put in produces growth and good results. Seeds planted with care have a better chance to grow than seeds never planted or thrown on the ground.

In the end, you can’t expect miracles without desire, expect change without action, or expect success without effort. If you want a great outcome, start with inputting the right seeds. What you put in your work, attitude, behavior, effort, and determination—will shape the results of the harvest that you reap. Y? Why Not!

Real Estate Questions & Answers CATHY & JIM HIGGINS Question: My wife and I are selling our home and now my wife has changed her mind about moving. We have a signed sales contract, with earnest money, between us and the buyer. Is there any way to back out of the sale?

Answer: To start, sales agreements can fall through due to reasons of financing, condition, title, etc, so the deal could still fall through. However, if the buyer has a valid purchase agreement accepted by both you and your wife, and it sounds like they do, then you are expected to work in good faith to fulfill your end of the agreement.

It may be that the buyer would accept a cash buyout to discontinue the purchase. However, you need to consider that the Brokers involved have found a ready, willing and able buyer and are likely to be entitled to a commission for their work. If you simply refuse to complete the transaction, then the buyers may sue for damages as well as “specific

performance,” a requirement to complete the sale. We suggest that you speak to an attorney.

Question: I recently sold my home.

The buyers have applied for a loan, but the Broker refuses to give me a copy of the appraisal. As the seller, shouldn’t I get a copy?

Answer: No. The appraisal was ordered by the lender and paid for by the borrowers. As long as the loan is approved, it’s none of your business.

However, if the appraisal comes in below the sales price and the purchaser asks you for a price reduction, you would then be on good grounds to ask for a copy.

Cook County State’s Attorney’s Office Implements Charging Protocol for Use of Force Incidents Involving Federal Immigration Agents CHICAGO — The Cook County State’s Attorney’s Office (CCSAO) has implemented a sweeping protocol to ensure it can move forward with prosecuting ICE agents should a review of the evidence determine that felony criminal charges are warranted.

The protocol, which was shared with and evaluated by criminal justice stakeholders, calls for the CCSAO to use all available prosecutorial tools to support law enforcement investigations into the use of force by federal immigration officers.

Months ago, CCSAO’s legal team began the process of drafting the Federal Immigration Enforcement Action Response Protocol to prepare for an unprecedented situation in Cook County: the possibility of bringing state charges against a federal immigration officer for on-duty conduct. State’s Attorney Burke directed her office to conduct a rigorous legal analysis and codify the procedure following the devastation that occurred during the ICE surge in Minneapolis, which resulted in two fatal shootings of civilians by ICE agents.

The CCSAO protocol applies to cases involving a death, shooting, act of violence, or use of force incident related to federal immigration enforcement.

“No one is above the law — including both ICE agents and prosecutors,” State’s Attorney Eileen O’Neill Burke said. “If a federal law enforcement agent commits a crime, my office will not hesitate to act, in accordance with state law. This protocol establishes clear, legally sound guidelines to ensure we have a responsible and effective path to pursue accountability.”

The CCSAO protocol provides guidance to law enforcement agencies as they gather evidence or seek to preserve sworn testimony related to an investigation. It also clarifies that in these cases, the CCSAO can support, but does not lead, investigations into criminal conduct. The CCSAO will conduct an independent review of evidence that is presented to it by a law enforcement agency to determine whether felony charges are supported.

The Illinois Attorney General’s Office and the Illinois State’s Attorneys Association reviewed the protocol and provided feedback.

“Law enforcement officers are entrusted with extraordinary authority to serve the public and keep our communities safe,” Illinois Attorney General Kwame Raoul said. “When that authority is abused or escalates into unlawful violence, prosecutors must take action if the burden of proof can be met.

I am proud to stand with State’s Attorney

Burke and fellow prosecutors committed to using every lawful tool available to hold this administration accountable consistent with this protocol.”

The protocol provides clear and legally sound guidelines to law enforcement agencies and prosecutors during different phases of a potential case involving a federal agent, from the investigation to the charging decision. This includes: • How CCSAO can assist law enforcement agencies seeking a Grand Jury subpoena for a victim or witness who could provide relevant evidence or for physical, documentary, and/or video evidence.

• The process for presenting an investigation to CCSAO’s Law Enforcement Review Unit (LERU), which will make a charging decision for all felony offenses.

• Legal analysis of how the supremacy clause, evidence in possession of the federal government and the potential of removal to federal court may affect the CCSAO’s ability to meet its burden of proof.

The CCSAO shared the protocol with the Illinois State’s Attorneys Association so that it can be used as a model for other prosecutor’s offices conducting similar reviews.

“The Illinois State’s Attorneys Association strongly supports this protocol, which provides critical clarity to law enforcement agencies,” said Kane County State’s Attorney Jamie Mosser, president of the Illinois State’s Attorneys Association. “As prosecutors, we have a legal and ethical obligation to carefully assess complex issues — including federal immunity, subpoena authority, and jurisdiction — to determine whether the burden of proof can be met. The protocol will equip prosecutors’ offices to successfully evaluate these factors and make the right charging decision.”

In Cook County, LERU supports investigations and reviews felony cases for charging whenever the accused is a law enforcement officer and the conduct at issue occurred while the officer was on duty. LERU’s work is typically limited to the conduct of local law enforcement officers, while the on-duty conduct of federal law enforcement officers is reviewed by the United States Attorney’s Office.

The Federal Immigration Enforcement Action Response Protocol became effective on Feb. 19, 2026, and was distributed to all division chiefs, Assistant State’s Attorneys, and relevant personnel

by State’s Attorney Burke. The protocol will also be shared with state and local law enforcement agencies.

Lansing woman, 91, line dances, jumps double dutch and studies French “I’ve been studying French ever since I retired 10 years ago. One of my friends who was going to the health club at that time casually mentioned that she taught French and I said, ‘Sign me up!’”

Patlak plans to use those skills when she travels to France this spring with her daughters. It will be her second trip to France.

Dancing is something that makes her feel alive and that she continues to enjoy.

“I’ve always loved to dance, and at age 52 I became a competitive ballroom dancer, specializing in tap and Latin dances in Illinois and Indiana for six years and won mostly first place trophies. It was fun,” she said.

In more recent years, she has taken up line dancing and usually finds places to dance at least twice a week.

“I ride my indoor bike, walk, line dance two to three times a week and take care of two dogs every day,” said Patlak.

Another hobby she took up the past few years is double dutch, a form of rope jumping with two ropes. She also found a fun community in the 40+ Double Dutch Club. She didn’t get started with it until age 87.

The 40+ Double Dutch Club has “sub clubs” all around the country. The group is made up of women over the age of 40 who get together for fellowship, exercise and self-care by jumping double dutch, hula hooping, playing hopscotch, and doing Chinese jump rope, according to the website, 40plusdoubledutchclub.org.

The club describes its mission as being a unified sisterhood that exists to empower women in Lansing resident Joyce Patlak, 91, stays active in her 10th decade of life through line dancing, double dutch, learning French and enjoying life. mental health and physical fitness while helping them cultivate friendships, improve fitness and (Photo: Carrie Steinweg) interact in a fun way. _______________________________ “We envision a world where aging is celebrated through prioritizing health, serving communities and empowering women,” the website states.

By Carrie Steinweg Patlak is the oldest member in the four sub The Lansing Journal clubs that she has been part of in Country Club Hills, January 19, 2026 Calumet City, South Holland, and Chicago’s Pullman neighborhood. She has traveled throughout the Chicago LANSING, Ill. — It’s never too late to learn something area to participate in various double dutch events, and new.

various events.

“One of my favorites is jumping at the Moody Bible Institute and also one of the grade schools in Chicago,” she said. “I hula hoop, too.”

Although she loves double dutch, it has taken a little bit of a back seat to line dancing recently. There are only so many hours in the day.

“I used to go to four meet-ups a week and now have cut back since I started line dancing,” she said.

Always an active and athletic person, Patlak previously played tennis as well as swimming, bowling, badminton, and cycling.After retiring later in life, she has enjoyed this crop of new activities. She is a former teacher at University of Chicago Lab School and also worked as a school bus driver, postal delivery worker, and waitress during her life. Her last job before retiring at age 80 was working the front desk at Fitness Pointe in Munster, where she was employed for 13 years.

Joyce Patlak, in the black shirt, is pictured. Patlak has a bevy of hobbies to keep her active. (Photo provided) _______________________________

Keeping active is something she lives and something she preaches to others.

“I tell seniors if you are able to wiggle your toes, get up and move. Walking is probably the best thing you can do for yourself,” she said. “Try to eat healthy and stay away from sweets and try to have a little fun and laugh every day — and a glass of wine won’t hurt.”

Patlak also loves to read, play violin, work jigsaw puzzles, knit, crochet, and shop. She is a mother of three daughters and has three grandsons.

Elections: What’s on the ballot in the March 17 Primary Election?

Carole Sharwarko - The Lansing Journal February 13, 2026 LANSING, Ill. — The Lansing Journal has gathered the ballot information Lansing voters will need to prepare for voting in the March 17 Primary Election.

It’s a primary election, so voters will choose either a Democratic or Republican ballot.

Each voter will select which candidates from that political party who will appear on the ballot against the other political party’s candidates in the General Election that takes place in November.

Voters do not have to vote in every race. A vote for even just one candidate will be counted as a vote.

Lansing voters will see races on their ballot from these units of government: A voter at Reavis School in Lansing.
