Cocktails-to-go, new state agency among laws taking effect July 1 By BEN SZALINSKI Capitol News Illinois bszalinski@capitolnewsillinois.com July 1 marks a second New Year’s Day in Illinois as a new budget takes effect along with more than a dozen new state laws. In addition to the state’s nearly $56 billion fiscal year 2027 budget being implemented and the 1-cent motor fuel tax increase being suspended for the remainder of the year, 14 news laws will go into effect on Wednesday. Cocktails-to-go A pandemic-era allowance is now law six-and -a-half years later. Senate Bill 618 makes cocktails-to -go permanent. Illinois lawmakers passed legislation during the pandemic that allowed restaurants and bars to sell cocktails and mixed drinks for pickup or delivery as businesses were closed to in-person customers. That will be allowed to continue permanently under the new law. AI and bullying Posting unauthorized artificial intelligence images can be considered cyberbullying in Illinois schools under House Bill 3851. This includes posting or distributing sexual images. Creating sexual images of children can also be charged under the state’s child pornography laws under a law passed in 2025. “Many people are using AI to produce harmful materials, which has led to a whole new level of cyberbullying,” Sen. Meg Loughran Cappel, D-Shorewood, who sponsored the bill, said in a statement. “We cannot let our laws fall behind technology. This legislation helps our state meet current challenges and ensures bullying via AI is addressed in the school code.” Illinois lawmakers have broadly sought to regulate artificial intelligence, including its presence in schools. Department of Early Childhood The new Department of Early Childhood will

officially launch on July 1, completing one of Gov. JB Pritzker’s top priorities of his second term. Senate Bill 1 to create the new agency passed the General Assembly with bipartisan support in 2024 and calls for consolidating a variety of early childhood services that are spread across multiple state agencies under one roof. Those include oversight and funding of preschools, childcare centers, home visiting and early intervention programs. Pritzker tapped Teresa Ramos to direct the agency. She worked in childcare advocacy before joining the governor’s office’s education policy team. Lawmakers appropriated $2.1 billion from the General Revenue Fund to the new agency in fiscal year 2027, which also begins July 1. Contraband report The Department of Corrections will have to report more information about contraband in its facilities as the department continues to face scrutiny around substance exposures. Senate Bill 2201 requires the department to annually report data about what contraband is found, where it was discovered, how it got into the facility, and any disciplinary action that was taken as a result. It also requires IDOC to report on medical responses and hospitalizations for staff members, including the cause. Statewide public defender The bricks of the new Office of State Public Defender can begin being laid on July 1, as House Bill 3363 requires an 11-member commission to be appointed by Oct. 1. The commission will identify the costs and funding sources to establish the Office of State Public Defender. The remainder of the bill, including additional processes to set up the office, will take effect Jan. 1. Capitol News Illinois is a nonprofit, nonpartisan news service that distributes state government coverage to hundreds of news outlets statewide. It is funded primarily by the Illinois Press Foundation and the Robert R. McCormick Foundation.

Seniors and Trump WOODROW WILCOX I have helped seniors to fix Medicare related medical bills since 2003. I have been disappointed by Presidents Bush, Obama, Biden, and Trump for not responding to my letters and faxes asking them to listen to me to help them fix the problems with the Medicare system so that it works better for seniors. Since Trump’s second term started, I have sent letters and faxes to Mehmet Oz, chief of Medicare, and Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., Secretary of Health and Human Services, and Donald Trump so that I can volunteer to help them fix problems with Medicare to help seniors. None of them have responded. Now, I’m trying to help a woman from Saint John, Indiana who has cancer and bills for cancer. In this case, the hospital, the doctor offices, her insurance company, and Medicare are really slow to answer their phones to discuss problems. A few weeks ago, another client told me that when she called Medicare, Medicare employees made her wait FOUR HOURS on hold to talk to her. The woman with cancer bought a policy from an insurance company that went bad last year by starting to give lousy service to clients. Many times,

I or our clients call that insurance company and hold to talk to someone but after waiting 50 minutes, the insurance company recording tells us that they are too busy and that the caller should call another time. Not giving clients competent and timely assistance to resolve problems and pay claims should land the executives of such insurance companies in jail. I have ideas for motivating such insurance companies to fix these problems to treat senior citizens on Medicare fairly. Maybe you can help me. Please, visit my website CitizenWoodrow. TV to read articles and watch videos about how I have helped seniors on Medicare. Then, call President Trump’s comment phone line to suggest that he or Dr. Mehmet Oz contact me at this insurance agency to let me share my ideas to force insurance companies and others to give better service or start paying the federal government fines and penalties for hurting seniors. The presidential comment phone number is 202-456-1111 or the main switchboard at 202-456-1414. I’m Woodrow Wilcox and I work at Senior Care Insurance Services.

Real Estate Specialists

Real Estate Questions & Answers CATHY & JIM HIGGINS Question: Should I update my home? When we do decide to sell, the new owners are going to change things anyway, right? Answer: As Realtors, we get this one question asked of us over and over: If you can afford to update your home, do it. Don’t go crazy with updates. Save your money, then update within your budget. Why? One, you will be able to enjoy these updates and feel proud of your home and what you have done. Two, it will add value to your home. Home values increase due to inflation and supply and demand. If you have a home that looks great, the buyer demand will be higher, and that will generate a higher home price. And, if the supply (homes currently for sale) is low, your homes value will increase even more. Three, If you choose not to update anything, then do NOT expect a quick sale and do NOT expect to receive the value that an updated home has. The buyer demand for your home will be lower. Four, If you cannot afford to update and remodel your home, there are other less expensive options you can take to

get more value for your home and you can do them yourself. Improve your curb appeal. Make your homes exterior look “Wow.” Paint the exterior. Keep your grass and bushes trimmed. Add colorful flowers. Make your home look Sparkling Clean. Update fixtures one at a time as you can afford it. What does your flooring look like? You can install these beautiful, new types of flooring yourself. Don’t underestimate the power of the first impression, inside & out. If you make the decision to buy a home, along with the benefits, comes some work. Do this work & it is called, “Pride of Ownership.” Take care of your home and you will be rewarded. If you do not want to do the work (or pay to have it done), then you probably should consider renting.Thinking of Selling? Call Cathy & Jim Higgins: Ind: 219-577-5905 Ill: 708-828-3304.

French Left Lasting Imprint on Illinois Across the Atlantic, July 14 marks Bastille Day, or French National Day, to honor the storming of the Bastille, a Paris fortress used as a prison. The event, which started the French Revolution, is celebrated in pockets across the United States, as many major cities have some form of French commemoration. More than some states, Illinois was influenced by the French, and a lingering imprint remains on the landscape. The name of Illinois itself has a French flavor. It is derived from the American Indian term “Iliniwek” (sometimes spelled with an extra “L”), meaning “the men.” French occupants discarded the last two syllables and inserted their own interpretation, giving the future state its name. The area was called the Illinois country, and its borders have long been debated. The French laid claim to the

JOSH BOOTSMA The 4th of July is great — family, food, and fondness for freedom all abound in excess! But among the fireworks and star-spangled barbecues, it’s sometimes easy to lose sight of where true freedom and citizenship lies. The Apostle Paul explains that “Our citizenship is in heaven, and from it we await a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ” (Philippians 3:19-20). Paul is reminding us that for Christians, this world is not truly home and neither are the countries within it. Our pledge to the American Flag is subordinate to our final allegiance to Christ. The freedom we have in America is wonderful but t he freedom that Jesus Christ offers is infinitely greater — freedom from sin and the promise of eternal life in his family! 1 Peter 2:16-17 says, “Live as people who are free, not using your freedom as a cover-up for evil, but living as servants of God. Honor everyone. Love the brotherhood. Fear

God. Honor the emperor.” Although we don’t have emperors anymore, the message is clear — we must respect our country, those who lead it, and everyone who calls it home. But we do so knowing that our highest respect is not paid to a president but to a King. Our allegiance is not ultimately owed to a flag but to a cross. And our hope is not placed in the “American Dream” but in the promise of eternal life in God’s heavenly kingdom. As we continue to reflect on America’s 250th birthday, let our words be those of C.S. Lewis: “I must keep alive in myself the desire for my true country, which I shall not find till after death.” As we celebrate life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, let us also celebrate Jesus Christ — in whom those blessings are truly and ultimately found.

Live A Life Of Love by Janice R Newman

VERSE OF THE WEEK

by Tom Emery

Heart Smart

Illinois country in 1671. On May 17, 1673, Father Jacques Marquette and Louis Jolliet left St. Ignace in presentday Michigan, paddling down Lake Michigan to the Fox and Wisconsin rivers before reaching the Mississippi River a month later. Sometime around June 20 of that year, they reached the corner of present-day northwestern Illinois and proceeded down the Mississippi, becoming among the first white men in the Illinois country. Though some writers note that others may have come before Marquette and Joliet, none left an account of any voyage. Both men have been honored with the naming of schools across the state, as well as the city of Joliet in Will County and Pere Marquette State Park near Grafton. Tom Emery is a freelance writer and historical researcher from Carlinville, Ill. He may be reached at 217-710-8392 or ilcivilwar@yahoo.com.

Live a life of love! It sounds easy loving what you do, loving yourself, loving others, and treating strangers with love. It can be, but it requires intentional and consistent effort. Love is a positive emotion expressed through kindness, empathy, and connection with others. It involves putting the needs of others before our own and building people up versus down. Love is one of the Fruits of the Spirit that we should express daily. Our greatest loves should be God, others, and ourselves. “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength” (Deuteronomy 6:5, NIV). We can express our love for God by: 1. Worshiping, praying, studying God’s Word in the Bible, and thanking Him for His presence in our lives. 2. Serving others with acts of kindness by extending God’s love to those in need. 3. Surrendering our fears and worries by trusting God’s plan and guidance. 4. Living according to His teachings by practicing the Fruits of the Spirit through love, kindness, forgiveness, humility, and compassion. Living a life of love with God teaches us to love others. Ephesians 5:2 commands us to “Live a life of love. Love others just as Christ loved us” (ERV). It can be difficult to love others when you’ve had a bad day, work is not going well, or money is tight. It’s also hard to show love, kindness, and compassion when we compare our lives to others. Living a life of love means consistently choosing kindness, compassion, sincerity, and care toward

ourselves and others. Self-love is important because, as the saying goes, “If you can’t love yourself, how can you love anyone else?” We often judge ourselves harshly and become our own worst critics. Loving ourselves is essential for our physical, emotional, and mental wellbeing. Here are ways to administer self-love: 1. Practice self-care. Prioritize activities that refresh you, set healthy boundaries, and learn to say “no” to activities or relationships that drain your joy. 2. Develop self-compassion. Treat yourself with the kindness, understanding, and forgiveness you show others. Stop judging yourself for your struggles and failures. Celebrate your accomplishments, appreciate your efforts, and give yourself credit for your progress. 3. Surround yourself with positivity. Seek supportive relationships and uplifting environments. Challenge negative self-talk, avoid critical people, and replace negative thoughts with positive, affirming ones. Love is a powerful emotion that brings joy, fulfillment, and meaning to our lives, although it can be challenging. Jesus demonstrated love through compassion, forgiveness, humility, sacrifice, service, and kindness. He put the needs of others before His own. We can also live a life of love by intentionally showing love to others in the same way. Y? Why Not!

I scream, you scream! We all scream for ice cream! If you haven’t guessed, July is National Ice Cream Month. You have an entire month to cool off with a scoop of your favorite flavor or try a new flavor every day! Like many of the foods holidays we have on the calendar, the exact origin of ice cream is unknown. What we do know, however, is the origin of ice cream likely dates back to A.D. 54 to 68 during the time when Nero was Emperor of Rome. Evidence shows harvesting ice or snow, then flavoring it with honey or other flavorings to make ice cream. Source: nationaldaycalendar.com

Lucy Belle Allen was a gift. From the moment she entered the world on July 2, 2019—arriving nine minutes before her twin sister, Avery—it was clear that she was something special. Tiny but mighty, Lucy packed more personality into her little frame than seemed possible. She was fearless, joyful, fiercely independent, and loved with her whole heart. Lucy is deeply loved by her mother, Meredith; her twin sister and builtin best friend, Avery; and her big brother, Michael, who was her fiercest protector. Michael would do anything for his little sisters and took great pride in looking after them. Together, the three of them filled their home with laughter, adventures, and endless love. When Lucy and Avery were born, Meredith suddenly found herself officially outnumbered. Thankfully, she was never alone. Lucy was surrounded by a family who adored her from the very beginning. Her grandmother, Cindy— better known as “Gigi”— became Meredith’s steady partner, helping care for the twins and Michael while showering them all with unconditional love. Aunt Patt and Uncle Benny were never far away, always ready to rock the girls to sleep, sew Halloween costumes, lend a helping hand, or deep clean the house without ever being asked. Lucy grew up wrapped in the kind of village every child deserves.

July 8, 2026

If there was one thing everyone knew about Lucy, it was that she was equal parts sweet and spicy. She had a heart overflowing with love, a spark of sass, and a personality far bigger than her tiny frame. She knew exactly what she liked, stood up for what she believed in, and was never afraid to be herself. She was, and always will be, unmistakably Lucy. When her family thinks of her, they will forever picture her radiant smile, those unforgettable dimples, and hear her contagious little giggle. They’ll remember the way she sucked her thumb with her blanket draped over her shoulder when she was tired. They’ll remember the look she’d give when she especially wanted something, and the way she’d pop out her little hip whenever she was feeling particularly sassy. They can still hear Gigi affectionately calling her, “Lucy Bell.” Lucy was so much like her mom. She shared Meredith’s beautiful, fiery spirit—determined, compassionate, fearless, and never afraid to stand up for what she believed in. She loved her mom with every part of her heart. Like so many little girls, Meredith was her safe place, her comfort, and her greatest source of love. No matter what kind of day she was having, a snuggle from Mom could fix just about anything. Their bond was one built on endless love, laughter, and unwavering devotion. Creative beyond her years, Lucy loved bringing her ideas to life. A self-taught makeup artist in the making, she undoubtedly would have grown into someone filling the world with “Get Ready With Me” videos, fashion shows, laughter, and dreams that were every bit as big as her personality. Lucy treasured the

people and things she loved most. She shared an extraordinary bond with her twin sister, Avery—a connection only twins can truly understand. She adored her big brother, Michael, who never stopped looking out for her. She absolutely loved her dog, Duncan, who was her constant companion and faithful friend. She also cherished her dolls, Princess Belle, playing dress-up, and spending time with her family and friends. Every person lucky enough to know Lucy carries a story that begins with her smile and ends with a laugh. Lucy leaves behind a family whose lives will forever be shaped by her love: her devoted mother, Meredith; her beloved twin sister, Avery; her protective big brother, Michael; and big brothers, Addison and Chase; her cherished dog, Duncan; her loving Aunt Caitlin and Uncle Mike; her cousins McKenzie, Jordan, and Cooper; Aunt Patt and Uncle Benny, Uncle Matt and Aunt Gina, cousins Adam and Della, Uncle Rick and Aunt Tami; Grandma Jane and Papa Fred; Uncle Brad and Aunt Meghan; along with countless aunts, uncles, cousins, friends, teachers, teammates, and all who were blessed to know and love her. She entered Heaven hand in hand with her beloved Gigi, together just as they so often were in life. Forever loved. Forever remembered. Forever our Lucy. A memorial visitation will be held Monday, July 6, 2026 from 2:00 – 8:00 p.m. at Smits Funeral Home, 2121 Pleasant Springs Lane, Dyer, IN. This will be a familyfriendly celebration of life, and children are warmly invited. We hope this day reflects the love, light, and joy Lucy

brought to everyone around her. Families are encouraged to come together as we honor her memory. Memorial Service, Tuesday, July 7, 2026 at 11:00 a.m. directly at St. John the Evangelist Church, 10701 Olcott Ave. St John, IN.

Cindy Pauley passed away suddenly on Friday June 19, 2026. Cindy is survived by her daughters Meredith Allen and Caitlin (Michael) Jedlicka; her grandchildren McKenzie, Jordan and Cooper Jedlicka and Michael and Avery Allen; her siblings Patricia (Ben) Damiani and Rick (Tami) Marco; her “favorite nephew” Matthew (Gianna) Marco and their children, Adam and Della, who affectionately called Cindy “Aunt Gigi”. Cindy loved the Indiana Fever, bird watching, chasing away the squirrels and, more than anything, spending time with her six grandchildren. She spent countless hours watching softball, soccer, baseball, cheer and anything else the grandkids were playing. She enjoyed trips to St

Louis to visit Caitlin and her family. Cindy had dear friends she saw as often as she could, often having lunch with fellow retirees. She retired on 2019 after 14 years working for the Village of Steger. Cindy was proud to come from a large extended family often referring to herself in the number system, 1.1. The many Marco family reunions was something Cindy looked forward to every year and took pride in ensuring her dad got to it as often as possible. Cindy will be remembered for her kindness and generosity, especially when it came to the grandkids. Cindy very much enjoyed spoiling all 6 often sending boxes from Amazon to St Louis if the kids even hinted at wanting something. Cindy is preceded in death by her beloved grandparents, Ruth and Stanley Doll; her loving parents, Donna Marco and Richard Marco; her perfect granddaughter Lucy Belle and her feline companion, Duke.

Pritzker issues disaster proclamation for storm-ravaged counties, including Cook By BRENDEN MOORE Capitol News Illinois bmoore@capitolnewsillinois.com SPRINGFIELD — Gov. JB Pritzker on Tuesday issued a state disaster proclamation for eleven counties ravaged by severe weather this spring and early summer. The proclamation covers Kankakee, McLean, Stephenson and Winnebago counties for severe weather events that took place in March and April; and Coles, Cook, Effingham, Jefferson, LaSalle, Warren and Woodford counties for storm events over the past month. It comes amid a record stretch of severe weather in the Land of Lincoln. Midway through the year, the National Weather Service has already confirmed 173 tornadoes in Illinois, the most recorded in a single year. Several communities have also sustained damage from flooding, hail and straight-line winds. “Illinois has faced unprecedented severe weather this year, and I remain committed to supporting every community, business, and family as they rebuild,” Pritzker said in a statement. “As communities recover, we remember the lives that were lost and hold their families and loved ones in our thoughts during this difficult time.” Pritzker is scheduled to visit Effingham and Jefferson

counties on Wednesday. An EF-3 tornado ripped through the area on June 17, injuring two people and damaging dozens of structures. He surveyed damage in Coles County earlier this month after an EF-2 tornado hit. The governor also visited Kankakee County in March days after an EF-3 tornado tore through and killed three people. The proclamation frees up additional state resources and personnel for response and recovery operations and can facilitate requests for state and federal disaster relief. Federal resources Communities in impacted counties, for example, can now apply for up to $250,000 through the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Disaster Response program to assist with cleanup, debris removal and public infrastructure repairs. Pritzker said last week that he expects the state to seek additional federal assistance for the June tornadoes, either through the Federal Emergency Management Agency or Small Business Administration, though state officials are still working with local officials to assess damage and determine whether it meets eligibility for federal assistance programs. State and federal agencies completed their damage assessments in Kankakee on March 30, but the state

did not ultimately seek FEMA assistance, though the SBA did approve low-interest emergency loans for small businesses with uninsured damage. Pritzker told reporters in Chicago last week that applying for a federal disaster declaration “doesn’t help if there’s no way that that damage estimate will get anywhere near the number” necessary to qualify. The governor was critical of the Trump administration for cutting back funding for disaster relief and seemingly denying it for “political reasons.” A Politico analysis found Democrat-led states saw just 23% of their disaster requests granted in the first year of Trump’s second term, compared to 89% for their Republican counterparts. “They’ve raised the thresholds for getting support; they’ve made it harder for communities to get support,” Pritzker said. “It’s quite disappointing, and I continue to be an advocate for maintaining the FEMA funds that were available prior, because unfortunately, climate change... has now brought more disasters on a more frequent basis.” Capitol News Illinois is a nonprofit, nonpartisan news service that distributes state government coverage to hundreds of news outlets statewide. It is funded primarily by the Illinois Press Foundation and the Robert R. McCormick Foundation.
