Pritzker signs bill aimed at addressing organized retail crime AG Raoul says task force recovered millions of dollars of stolen merchandise in December BY GRACE KINNICUTT

CAPITOL NEWS ILLINOIS GKINNICUTT@CAPITOLNEWSILLINOIS.COM

SPRINGFIELD – Gov. JB Pritzker signed legislation Friday that is aimed at cracking down on high-proﬁle “smash-andgrabs” and other organized retail theft. “This important piece of legislation will help to combat these unlawful activities by addressing the problem from multiple angles,” Chauncey Rice, government relations manager for the Illinois Retail Merchants Association, said at a news conference. Backed by IRMA and Attorney General Kwame Raoul, the bill is in response to a recent increase in organized retail theft at malls in the suburbs and stores along the Magniﬁcent Mile in Chicago. Raoul said he did not know what organized retail crime was one year ago and thought of it like ordinary theft. When he was attending an out-ofstate conference, Raoul said, he watched a presentation about organized retail theft groups and saw videos of stolen

goods that “made you think you were in a hardware store.” He said the goal going forward is to crack down on organized retail crime and educate retailers and law enforcement around the state on what it is and that it is linked to other criminal activity such as human, gun or drug tra�cking and, in some cases, terrorism. “Law enforcement, like me, might have mistaken some of these acts as isolated acts of retail theft when they’re actually very well coordinated crimes,” Raoul said. It defines, for the first time, organized retail crime into law and creates sti�er penalties for the ringleaders of retail thefts. The law goes into e�ect Jan. 1, 2023. A person is guilty of being a ringleader of a retail theft operation if they recruit individuals, supervise finances or direct others to commit the theft with the intent to resell merchandise that exceeds $300 in value. Ringleaders can also be guilty if merchandise is stolen while in transit from the manufacturer to the retail establishment. Advocates for the legislation reiterated that it will specifically target organized crime rings, rather than giving harsh

penalties for those who commit “petty retail theft.” “Let me be clear, this is not aimed at a low-income parent desperate to feed their child. It’s not about a kid making a shortsighted mistake,” Pritzker said. “This is about a multibillion-dollar industry of organized criminals carrying out sophisticated theft operations.” In December 2021, Pritzker said an Organized Retail Crime Task Force overseen by Raoul’s o�ce recovered millions of dollars in stolen merchandise from storage units at two Chicago facilities as part of a large-scale investigation into the crime rings. Chief Senate Sponsor Suzy Glowiak Hilton, D-Western Springs, said the bill addresses concerns raised by law enforcement, prosecutors and businesses while ensuring law enforcement has tools needed to reduce organized retail theft. Prosecutors will have the ability to consolidate charges against ringleaders in one county even if a ring of smash-andgrabs happened across multiple counties, and it allows the attorney general to convene statewide grand juries to investigate, indict and prosecute violations. Raoul said it is a consumer protection issue because the stolen items can also be put on an online marketplace to unsuspecting consumers. The legislation will require online, third-party sellers to verify a user’s identity with a bank account number or other information to prevent stolen goods from being sold online. Third-party sellers will be required to suspend sellers that knowingly sell items there were stolen or believed to be stolen. It also creates a statewide intelligence-sharing tool to help retailers, police and prosecutors to communicate with each other. The state budget also invests $5 million to allow the attorney general’s o�ce to award grants to state’s attorneys and law enforcement agencies that investigate and prosecute organized retail crime.

US deaths from COVID hit 1 million, less than 2 1/2 years in By Carla K. Johnson Associated Press

The U.S. death toll from COVID-19 hit 1 million on Monday, a once-unimaginable figure that only hints at the multitudes of loved ones and friends staggered by grief and frustration. The confirmed number of dead is equivalent to a 9/11 attack every day for 336 days. It is roughly equal to how many Americans died in the Civil War and World War II combined. It’s as if Boston and Pittsburgh were wiped out. “It is hard to imagine a million people plucked from this earth,” said Jennifer Nuzzo, who leads a new pandemic center at the Brown University School of Public Health in Providence, Rhode Island. “It’s still happening and we are letting it happen.” Some of those left behind say they cannot return to normal. They replay their loved ones’ voicemail messages. Or watch old videos to see them dance. When other people say they are done with the virus, they bristle with anger or ache in silence. “’Normal.’ I hate that word,” said Julie Wallace, 55, of Elyria, Ohio, who lost her husband to COVID-19 in 2020. “All of us never get to go back to normal.” Three out of every four deaths were people 65 and older. More men died than women. White people made up most of the deaths overall. But Black, Hispanic and Native American people have been roughly twice as likely to die from COVID19 as their white counterparts. Most deaths happened in urban areas, but rural places — where opposition to masks and vaccinations tends to run high — paid a heavy price at times. The death toll less than 2 1/2 years into the outbreak is based on death certificate data compiled by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s National Center for Health Statistics. But the real number of lives lost to COVID-19, either directly or indirectly, as a result the disruption of the health care system in the world’s richest country, is believed to be far higher. The U.S. has the highest reported COVID-19 death toll of any country, though health experts have long suspected that the real number of deaths in places such as India, Brazil and Russia is higher than the official figures. The milestone comes more than three months after the U.S. reached 900,000 dead. The pace has slowed since a harrowing winter surge fueled by the omicron variant. The U.S. is averaging about 300 COVID19 deaths per day, compared with a peak

of about 3,400 a day in January 2021. New cases are on the rise again, climbing more than 60% in the past two weeks to an average of about 86,000 a day — still well below the all-time high of over 800,000, reached when the omicron variant was raging during the winter. The largest bell at Washington National Cathedral in the nation’s capital tolled 1,000 times a week ago, once for every 1,000 deaths. President Joe Biden on Thursday ordered flags lowered to halfstaff and called each life “an irreplaceable loss.” “As a nation, we must not grow numb to such sorrow,” he said in a statement. “To heal, we must remember.” More than half the deaths occurred since vaccines became available in December of 2020. T wo-t hirds of Americans are fully vaccinated, and nearly half of them have had at least one booster dose. But demand for the vaccine has plummeted, and the campaign to put shots in arms has been plagued by misinformation, distrust and political polarization. Unvaccinated people have a 10 times greater risk of dying of COVID-19 than the fully vaccinated, according to the CDC. “To me, that is what is just so particularly heartbreak ing,” Nuzzo said. Vaccines are safe and greatly reduce the likelihood of severe illness, she said. They “largely take the possibility of death off the table.” Angelina Proia, 36, of New York, lost her father to COVID-19 in April 2020. She runs a support group for grieving families on Facebook and has seen it divided over vaccinations. She has booted people from the group for spreading misinformation. “I don’t want to hear conspiracy theories. I don’t want to hear anti-science,” said Proia, who wishes her father could

have been vaccinated. Sara Atk ins, 42, of Wynnewood, Pennsylvania, channels her grief into fighting for global vaccination and better access to health care to honor her father, Andy Rotman-Zaid, who died of COVID-19 in December 2020. “My father gave me marching orders to end it and make sure it doesn’t happen again,” Atkins said of the pandemic. “He told me, ‘Politicize the hell out of my death if I die of this.’” Julie Wallace and her husband, Lewis Dunlap, had cellphone numbers one digit apart. She continues paying to keep his number. She calls it just to hear his voice. “It’s just so important to hear that sometimes,” she said. “It gives you a little bit of reassurance while also tearing your heart out.” Some have offered solace in poetry. In Philadelphia, poet and social worker Trapeta Mayson, created a 24-hour poetry hotline called Healing Verse. Traffic to the Academy of American Poets’ poets.org website rose during the pandemic. Brian Sonia-Wallace, poet laureate of West Hollywood, California, has traveled the country writing poems for hire. He imagines a memorial of a million poems, written by people who don’t normally write poetry. They would talk to those who are grieving and listen for points of connection. “What we need as a nation is empathy,” said Tanya Alves, 35, of Weston, Florida, who lost her 24-year-old sister to COVID19 in October. “Over two years into the pandemic, with all the cases and lives lost, we should be more compassionate and respectful when talking about COVID. Thousands of families changed forever. This virus is not just a cold.”

Elections

2022 midterms: What to watch as 5 states hold primaries By Marc Levy and Gary D. Robertson Associated Press

HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — Former President Donald Trump’s winning streak in U.S. Senate primaries is on the line Tuesday as voters in five states cast their ballots in midterm elections. Trump made bold endorsements in backing celebrity heart surgeon Mehmet Oz in Pennsylvania and U.S. Rep. Ted Budd in North Carolina. The once little-known Budd is now in a strong position to win the Republican nomination, but Oz is locked in a tight primary against a former hedge fund CEO and a community activist. The primaries follow a resounding win in Ohio’s May 3 contest by Trump’s Senate candidate, JD Vance. On the Democratic side, Pennsylvania Senate candidate John Fetterman revealed Sunday that he had suffered a stroke but was on his way to a “full recovery.” Pennsylvania, Oregon and Idaho are holding primaries for governor on Tuesday. In Idaho, Republican Brad Little is fighting back a challenge from his lieutenant governor, a Trump-backed conservative who issued executive orders banning mask mandates during the height of the pandemic when Little was out of state on business. In Cong ress, U.S. Rep. Madison C a w t hor n i s t r y i ng t o su r v i ve a Republican primary in North Carolina after a turbulent first term in office. What to watch in Tuesday’s primaries in Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Kentucky, Idaho and Oregon:

PENNSYLVANIA

The race for retiring Republican U.S. Sen. Pat Toomey’s seat has been dominated by a huge primary field that has been particularly contested on the GOP side. But on Sunday, the focus was on the Democrats as Fetterman announced he was recovering from a stroke. The 52-year-old said he went to the hospital on Friday after not feeling well and would remain for a while for observation. He vowed to press forward despite the health setback, saying, “Our campaign isn’t slowing down one bit, and we are still on track to win this primary on Tuesday.” Fet terman has led in pol ls and fundraising in a four-person field that includes U.S. Rep. Conor Lamb and state Rep. Malcolm Kenyatta. For Republicans, the race looked for much of the campaign like a two-man contest between the Trump-endorsed Oz,

best known as the host of daytime TV’s “The Dr. Oz Show, and former hedge fund CEO David McCormick. But several prominent conservative groups have gotten involved in the race’s final days, backing lesser-known conservative activist Kathy Barnette as an alternative. A recent Fox News poll shows she is surging, just trailing Oz and McCormick. In the governor’s race, some Republicans are wringing their hands over the prospect that a far-right candidate, state Sen. Doug Mastriano, could emerge as the winner in the crowded field. They fear Mastriano, who has promoted Trump’s lies of widespread election fraud in the 2020 election, is unelectable in November and likely to squander an opportunity to replace Democratic Gov. Tom Wolf, who is prevented by term limit laws from running again. On the Democratic side, the state’s two-term attorney general, Josh Shapiro, is unchallenged in his gubernatorial bid.

NORTH CAROLINA

Trump is trying to sway races for U.S. Senate and House in a state he won twice, but narrowly. Trump endorsed Budd for the Senate seat being vacated by retiring Republican Richard Burr, surprising many at last year’s state GOP convention. Budd’s top competitors in the 11-way primary are former U.S. Rep. Mark Walker, who had actively sought Trump’s support, and former Gov. Pat McCrory, who is considered a moderate in the race but is best known nationally for signing a “bathroom bill” targeting transgender people in 2016 that cost the state billions. On the Democratic side, Cheri Beasley, the former chief justice of the North Carolina Supreme Court, has appeared to clear her 11-person field of significant rivals. She would be North Carolina’s first Black U.S. senator if she wins in November. In congressional races, Trump’s endorsement of Cawthorn in the 11th District didn’t stop establishment figures from opposing the 26-year-old first-term congressman. Unforced political and personal errors by Cawthorn — a speaker at the “Stop the Steal” rally before the Jan. 6 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol — have made him vulnerable in an eight-candidate GOP primary. U.S. Sen. Thom Tillis has endorsed state legislator Chuck Edwards

in the race. Trump, in a post on his social media site Truth Social overnight Monday, urged voters to give Cawthorn “a second chance,” acknowledging the candidate had recently made some “foolish mistakes.” In two Democratic-leaning districts, Democrats are holding robust primaries for the nominations to succeed the retiring Rep. David Price in the 4th District and Rep. G.K. Butterfield in the 1st District. Former “American Idol” star Clay Aiken is among the Democratic candidates running for Price’s seat. In the open 13th District, considered a toss-up in November, the Republican field includes Bo Hines, a former college football player endorsed by Trump. Tuesday’s primary may not be the final word for would-be nominees: First-place candidates must get more than 30% of the vote to avoid a July 26 runoff.

The two leading Democratic candidates are Tina Kotek, a staunch liberal and former speaker of the state House, versus Tobias Read, the state treasurer who has positioned himself as a moderate. In t he D e m o c r at i c-le a n i ng 5t h Congressional District, U.S. Rep. Kurt Schrader — a moderate endorsed by President Joe Biden — is trying to fight off a primary challenge from progressive Jamie McLeod-Skinner. The state’s new 6th District has drawn national buzz as one of the most expensive Democratic congressional primaries this year. It has attracted 16 candidates, including Democratic newcomer Carrick Flynn, who is backed by a cryptocurrency kingpin. In the Democratic-leaning 4th District, eight Democrats are vying for the nomination to replace U.S. Rep. Peter DeFazio, who is retiring after 35 years in office.

KENTUCKY

IDAHO

U.S. Rep. John Yarmuth, the chair of the House Budget Committee and the only Democrat in Kentucky’s congressional delegation, is retiring, opening up his seat for the first time in 16 years. On the Democratic side, state Sen. Morgan McGarvey and state Rep. Attica Scott are playing up their progressive credentials in the Louisville-area 3rd District. Despite their underdog status, several Republicans are also running for the seat, which Yarmuth won in 2006 by ousting a veteran GOP congresswoman. The Louisville mayor’s race is also getting outsize interest this year after someone fired on one of the candidates while he was in his campaign office. Democrat Craig Greenberg escaped with a bullet hole in his sweater in the Feb. 14 shooting, and a local social justice activist was charged with attempted murder. Greenberg is one of eight candidates running in the Democratic primary. A Republican hasn’t held the mayor’s office in Kentucky’s largest city in several decades.

OREGON

In liberal Oregon, the primary for governor is shaping up as a test between the moderate and progressive wings of the Democratic Party at a time of widespread frustration in the state over the COVID-19 pandemic, the homeless crisis, a lack of affordable housing and growing gun violence.

Little, the Republican governor, is trying to survive a primary challenge from his lieutenant governor, Janice McGeachin, a far-right conservative who has been backed by Trump. The relationship between Little and McGeachin has been fraught. On two occasions when Little went out of state last year, McGeachin claimed to be in charge and issued executive orders to block COVID-19 mandates. Little, who had never tried to implement any pandemic-related mandates, rescinded both orders when he returned. In February, McGeachin delivered a taped speech at a white nationalist gathering in Florida. She later said that she was taking an opportunity to speak about Trump’s “America First” agenda and that the “media wants us to play a guilt-by-association game.” The establishment and far-right factions of the Republican Party are also vying for control in other races in the state. In the attorney general’s race, fiveterm incumbent Lawrence Wasden is facing a primary challenge from former U.S. Rep. Raul Labrador, a tea party favorite. In the secretary of state’s race, establishment-backed Phil McGrane is going up against state Sen. Mary Souza and far-right state Rep. Dorothy Moon, both of whom have spread the lie that Trump won the 2020 election.

tube talk

Julia and Julia By Paula Hendrickson Contributor

Julia Child was larger than life, and not just because she was over six feet tall. She was also among the unlikeliest of television personalities ever. Long before becoming one of TV’s first celebrity chefs, Julia worked for the OSS (a precursor of the CIA) during World War II. Stationed at various locations around the world, she met her future husband, Paul Child, while both were working for the OSS in Ceylon. Once married, the couple eventually landed in Paris, where Julia – who had little cooking experience at the time – began studying cooking at the legendary culinary school, Cordon Bleu. She and Simone Beck taught French cooking to American housewives in Paris; they co-authored Mastering the Art of French Cooking (Knopf, 1961), a cookbook aimed at demystifying classic French cooking for the average home cook.

But most of us know her from a succession of cooking shows that aired on PBS for nearly 40 years. (One of my cousins and I were so obsessed with Julia’s shows that at least one time we slipped out of a family gathering and went upstairs to watch Julia’s show on the TV in his parents’ bedroom.) HBO Max’s series, Julia, opens with the publication of Mastering the Art of French Cooking and quickly delves into how Julia used her charm, wits – and unwillingness to take no for an answer – to land a cooking show on PBS. It depicts the trial-by-fire methods she pioneered for TV chefs, like taping an entire episode without any breaks or editing, or the art of the “swap out” (having recipes at various stages of completion ready so she can demonstrate the entire process in under 30 minutes). British Actress Sarah Lancashire (Last Tango in Halifax, Happy Valley) disappears

into Julia’s persona. While Lancashire’s voice is somewhat more melodic than the real Julia’s often-mimicked voice, Lancashire has the familiar phrasing and deep breaths down pat. David Hyde Pierce (Frasier) is perfectly cast as Paul, and Bebe Neuwirth (Cheers) steals scenes as Julia’s friend, Avis, who always seems to have a cocktail in hand. While it would be easy to paint French-food and champagne-and-caviar loving characters like Julia and Paul as stuffy and pretentious, “Julia” showcases their love and humor. If that’s not enough Julia for you, later this month CNN will premiere a new documentary on the iconic chef, also titled Julia. The documentary – by Emmy-winning filmmakers Julie Cohen and Betsy West – combines previously unseen archival footage, photos, and first-person accounts to tell Julia’s story, including the efforts involved in writing Mastering

the Art of French Cooking, selling the book to publishers, and breaking into the male-dominated world of television. Julia broke the mold in many ways. In an era where American housewives were heating up TV dinners and other convenience foods, she showed them how to make better food from scratch. And she did that as an ungainly middle-aged in a medium where male producers assumed that viewers only wanted to women who looked like young beauty queens. Julia Child was unapologetically herself. Then and now, audiences responded to Julia’s personality, her cooking skills, and her ability to teach them while having a bit of fun.

Successful Squash BY GRANT MCCARTY CONTRIBUTOR

After the nightshade family of tomatoes, peppers, and eggplant, the squash family is another quintessential summer vegetable. Most backyard growers will at least have one or two squash plants in their home garden. The squash family is also known as cucurbits. They commonly have a vining plant characteristic, yellow/orange/white ﬂowers, and thrive in summer heat. This vegetable family is also very large with many di�erent shapes, sizes, textures, and uses. If there is a quality you are after, you can typically ﬁnd it. If you

want a small orange watermelon, there is a cultivar of that. If you like butternut squash but wish it was personal size, there is a cultivar of that. If you wish the skin of the cucumber was edible and not bitter, you’ll ﬁnd a cultivar of that. Cucurbits include winter squash, summer squash, cucumber, watermelon, pumpkin/gourds, and melons. Within each category, you’ll have subcategories. For example, winter squash includes acorn, butternut, and spaghetti while melons include cantaloupe, muskmelon, and honeydew. In selecting squash, choose your cultivar based on it’s physical features. You’ll

ﬁnd bush and vining type for many of these. A bush type will be more compact and allow you to utilize your space better. A vining type is the most common and it will mean that you need to take into account spacing between plants in a row and spacing between rows. You can provide a trellis to support your cucurbits and give yourself more space to work with. Most squash with vining characteristics will be planted 18-24 inches between plants in a row and 6 ft between rows. That may mean you are unable to plant as many plants as you would like in a given area based on spacing. Additional characteristics to look at would be ﬂavor,

storage, and maturity. Most cucurbits can be direct seeded in your garden, usually 2 weeks after the last frost in your area. For Northern Illinois, this would be planting towards the end of May. You’ll ﬁnd that most seed packets will suggest planting more than 1 seed in a hill at a certain diameter. The hilling process is where you raise the soil up and will warm the soil up to increase germination of the seeds. You would then thin seeds out, leaving behind just one plant.

Energy and inﬂation BY DRS. ROBERT & SONIA VOGL

ILLINOIS RENEWABLE ENERGY ASSOCIATION CONTRIBUTORS

The cause of inflation in the 1970s was the rising cost of energy which impacted prices on goods and services in the economy. The solution imposed was to raise interests to bring inflation back under control. Government programs acting as a safety net for unemployed workers were cut back as well. By the early 1990s opening up new oil deposits in Alaska, the Gulf of Mexico and the North Sea along with the deregulation of the banking system released the opportunity to expand the level of debt in the economy which then improved. We are again faced with inflation as the rise in energy prices are impacting the prices of goods and services in the economy and again the response of the government is raising interest rates. What di�ers this time is where the new mass of fossil fuels is to be found and whether they should be exploited when attempts are being made to reduce their role as they are the leading cause of climate change. Further complicating the issue of rising energy prices is the e�ort of the EU to dramatically reduce its reliance on Russia for fossil fuels and resources which will

have a devastating impact on them as well as global economies. European countries have attempted to secure energy supplies from Africa to replace those abandoned from Russia. While oil and gas supplies are available there, the infrastructure for securing, processing and shipping them to Europe will require time to develop. Other options being considered to increase energy supplies are renewable energy sources including wind, solar, conservation and heat pumps, along with small scale nuclear power plants. These solutions would take time and money to scale up to replace the existing level of energy use that previously powered the economy. To meet their immediate energy needs governments could implement energy rationing programs along with providing relief programs to help the unemployed and hungry. Those who have warned for years of the adverse impacts of peak oil on the economy are seeing their concerns being realized. They have long argued that since our economy was built on ﬁnite low cost supplies of fossil fuels eventually they will be less available and painful adjustments would lower our standard

of living. From their perspective, that time has arrived but we have failed to plan for a smooth transition to living with less energy. The recent heat wave has produced a sense of urgency to service air conditioning units. It is expected that this summer’s high temperatures intensiﬁed by climate change will increase electrical demand for air conditioning. If demand exceeds supplies, there is concern that electrical cutbacks would be necessary. We have had very reliable electrical service in recent years despites short periods when storms disrupted service. Utilities and communities have plans in place to respond to such situations. Individuals should have their plans in place as well. New solar systems, some of which include battery backup systems to provide a few hours of supply, are being installed regionally. If the grid goes down use time can be extended by limiting electrical consumption to essential services. Renewable energy sources are continuing to play a larger role in our energy supply but given their intermittency some form of backup is essential for our energy future. In their current form batteries can

supply backup energy for only a few hours. A recent article by Jake Richardson reported that “a 35 MW solar powered carport of 90,000 solar panels” was installed on the site of the annual Lowlands music festival in the Netherlands. The system replaces the use of generators to power the festival and the event itself will only require 1% of the solar system’s output. The remainder of the output will be absorbed into the grid. The outdoor parking lot already existed for the outdoor festival which attracts 60,000 visitors, so no new land was required for the installation. Displacing fossil fuel generators and sending the unused power to the grid is beneﬁcial. However this substantial source of energy remains intermittent and in need of backup power to provide reliable electrical service. How will the overall energy system adjust to the intermittency if backup power is not su�cient? Could society be designed to live with intermittent power? We experienced a small version of living with intermittent electrical service when visiting a rancher living o� grid in Idaho, when she excused herself to start a generator to power her washing machine.
