Dems seek unity after party vote State Rep. Lisa Hernandez becomes Democratic Party of Illinois’ first Latino woman chair By Jerry Nowicki

Capitol News Illinois jnowicki@capitolnewsillinois.com

SPRINGFIELD – The vote for state Rep. Elizabeth “Lisa” Hernandez as the Democratic Party of Illinois’ first Latino chairwoman was unanimous and uneventful Saturday morning – the drama had occurred in the days prior in a power struggle of some of the state’s most prominent Democrats. Her n a nde z w a s bac k e d G ov. JB Pritzker and House Speaker Emanuel “Chris” Welch. She served with Welch on a special investigating committee of House Speaker Michael Madigan in 2020, which chose to take no action against the speaker for his alleged role in a yearslong bribery scheme with a public utility. Several months later, Madigan was indicted. The new DPI chair also played prominently in the redistricting process last year in the General Assembly, chairing the House committee on redistricting and frequently stonewalling inquiries as to what data was used to draw new maps. Ultimately, Democrats passed the new maps on partisan lines. The 34 members of the Democratic State Central Committee – one man and one woman for each of the state’s 17 congressional districts – elected her by voice vote over outgoing chair Robin Kelly, who was backed by U.S. Sen. Dick Durbin. Kelly, a congresswoman from suburban Matteson, pulled herself from the running less than 24 hours earlier after it became apparent Hernandez had secured the requisite number of votes to replace her. Kelly was elected chair just more than 16 months ago in what was also a tight and contentious race between her and Pritzker’s chosen candidate, Chicago Ald. Michelle Harris. She maintained strong support this year among some members of the state central committee and drew high praise from its downstate members. Hernandez offered praise for Kelly in a statement, and the pair shared a brief embrace before the meeting began. But the fact that neither Kelly nor Hernandez took questions from the media underscored the fact that the wounds of the fight might still be fresh. “I have deep respect and admiration for Congresswoman Robin Kelly and appreciate everything she has done to support Illinois Democrats. I’ve spoken with Congresswoman Kelly and we are both ready to move forward in a united fashion.” Hernandez said, reading aloud

from a prepared written statement before leaving without answering any questions from the media. Kelly read from a prepared statement as well in running her final meeting as DPI chair. “When I was elected to this position last year, one of the first things I did was get in my car and drive south for a listening tour,” she said. “I heard a lot of things that first listening tour, but the thing that stuck out the most to me was how many people came up to me and said things to the effect that ‘I’ve never seen anyone from the state party here before, let alone the chair.’ People were so excited just to feel like their party saw them, heard them and cared enough to show up for them.” Kelly took over after former Speaker Madigan, who led the party from 1998 until Februar y last year. Madigan frequently faced criticism for the party’s lack of outreach and the fact that he mostly used the party to elect state House Democrats. He stepped down after failing to gain reelection as speaker in January 2021. Some of the committeemen serving downstate congressional districts said Friday once Kelly became chair, it was the first time they felt involved in the party. Peter Janko, a committeeman from McHenry County in the 11th congressional district, said Kelly’s leadership was “like a brand new day.” Terry Redman, of DeWitt County in the 15th congressional district, had similar sentiments. “Finally, downstate Illinois got some attention, and that’s all because of you,” he said in thanking Kelly for her effort as chair. “And I certainly hope that continues.” After the meeting, Redman said he spoke to Hernandez who told him she was committed to paying continued attention to downstate. “It’s too big of an area to write off, let’s put it that way,” Redman said. “So I think we’ll do just fine under the new leadership.” State Rep. Will Davis, a Hazel Crest Democrat and member of the Illinois Legislative Black Caucus, said he didn’t like how the race played out on racial lines, and how the governor worked so hard to sway support to oust Kelly, the party’s first Black woman chair. “Of course I’m still concerned about where it takes the party, and I shared this with the new chair, that you know, there’s still some race issues that need to be addressed and she’s going to have to work hard and figure out how to mend those fences,” he said. Pritzker’s camp maintained throughout the race that his opposition to Kelly’s re-election centered on the fact that she

was a federal officeholder, which meant she wasn’t legally allowed to raise funds to directly support state candidates. “Look, what we’re looking to accomplish, I think all of us who care about the Democratic Party, is to make sure that we have representation from all the diverse constituencies, and making sure that we have leadership that can accomplish the goals that we want to set out to do, which is to beat Republicans and make sure that the party is doing what it needs to do,” Pritzker said at a news conference Friday morning. Davis accused the governor of “twisting arms,” saying that while “money and politics reared its ugly head,” Democrats now must work to unify to support candidates in November. It’s something Hernandez promised to do in her brief statement. “I plan to sit down with every member of the State Central Committee, our executive branch candidates, Democratic caucus leaders, committees for the two Democratic Supreme Court candidates, members of DPI staff and other stakeholders to ensure their vision for our party is incorporated into the apparatus we will build to hold Republicans accountable and win in November,” she said. State Sen. Cristina Castro, a Democrat from Elgin and the committeewoman who nominated Hernandez for chair at the party meeting Saturday, compared the fight to a contentious primary election. She and three other Latino central committee members pledged their support for Hernandez on Friday afternoon which appeared to seal the race for Hernandez at the time. “We were hearing both candidates out,” she said. “We looked at the vision for the party, and our colleague, Lisa Hernandez, had the vision of the big tent for everyone. …So in the end, that’s where we decided and we didn’t take your decision lightly.” Pritzker congratulated Hernandez in a statement Saturday afternoon and thanked Kelly for serving. “Leader Hernandez is a woman of integrity who cares deeply about fighting for working families, promoting diversity and inclusion, and helping all Illinoisans prosper,” he said. “I know she will maintain our party unity, and I am confident in her ability to work with the State Central Committee to elect Democrats at every level of government –– both in this midterm election and beyond.” Capitol News Illinois is a nonprofit, nonpartisan news service covering state government that is distributed to more than 400 newspapers statewide.

Dems seem headed for climate, health win after ups and downs By Alan Fram

Associated Press

WASHINGTON (AP) — It’s been more than a year in the making and has seen plenty of ups and downs. Now, a Democratic economic package focused on climate and health care faces hurdles but seems headed toward party-line passage by Congress next month. Approval would let President Joe Biden and his party claim a triumph on top priorities as November’s elections approach. They have not forgotten that they came close to approving a far grander version of the bill last year, only to see Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., one of their most conservative and contrarian members, torpedo it at the eleventh hour. This time, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., has crafted a compromise package with Manchin, to the surprise of everyone, transforming the West Virginian from pariah to partner. The measure is more modest than earlier versions but still checks boxes on issues that make Democrats giddy. Here’s what they face:

WHAT’S IN IT?

NEW LOCATION 3929 Broadway, Rockford Mon-Fri 10A-5P • 815-977-3220

The measure would raise $739 billion in revenue over 10 years and spend $433 billion. More than $300 billion would be left for trimming federal deficits. Those are meaningful cuts in red ink. But they’re tiny compared with the $16 trillion in new debt the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office estimates will accumulate over the next decade. The package would save consumers and the government money by curbing prescription drug prices, and it would subsidize private health insurance for millions of people. It would bolster the IRS budget so the tax agency can collect more unpaid taxes. The plan would foster clean energy and offshore energy drilling, a balance demanded by Manchin, a champion of fossil fuels. It also would collect new taxes from the largest corporations and wealthy hedge fund owners. It’s a fraction of the $3.5 trillion package that Biden proposed early in his presidency, which also envisioned sums for initiatives such as paid family leave and universal preschool. It’s also smaller than the roughly $2 trillion alternative the House passed last November after Manchin demanded cuts then derailed the deal anyway, citing inflation fears.

... will it do that? It certainly could, but

there are dissenters. First, some context. By one inflation measure the Federal Reserve studies closely, prices jumped 6.8% in June from a year ago, the biggest increase in four decades. That followed government figures showing the economy shrank anew last quarter, fueling recession worries. “Impr ove d t a x col le c t ion, d r ug savings, and deficit reduction would put downward pressure on inflation,” the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget said Friday. In what passes for a rave review, the bipartisan fiscal watchdog group called the legislation “exactly the kind of package lawmakers should put in place to help the economy in a number of ways.” “Deficit reduction is almost always inflation-reducing,” Jason Furman, a Harvard University economics professor who was a top economic adviser to President Barack Obama, wrote Friday in The Wall Street Journal. He said the measure would also “reduce inflation by slowing the growth of prescription-drug prices.” A more sobering assessment came from the University of Pennsylvania’s Penn Wharton Budget Model, which analyzes economic issues. “The act would very slightly increase inflation until 2024 and decrease inflation thereafter,” the group wrote Friday. “These point estimates are statistically indistinguishable from zero, thereby indicating low confidence that the legislation will have any impact on inflation.” A chorus of Republicans say Democrats’ bill would be widely damaging. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., calls it “a giant package of huge new job-killing tax hikes, Green New Deal craziness that will kill American energy, and prescription drug socialism that will leave us with fewer new life-saving medicines.”

CHANGES AHEAD

The 725-page measure will probably still change somewhat. Schumer said this past week that Democrats planned to add language aimed at reducing patients’ costs of insulin, the diabetes drug that can cost hundreds of dollars monthly. Insulin price curbs were a highlight of Democrats’ bigger package last year, including a $35 monthly cap for patients who get the drug through Medicare or private insurers. But that fell out this year as the measure was trimmed. Sens. Jeanne Shaheen, D-N.H., and

Susan Collins, R-Maine, produced a bill capping insulin’s price, but it seems unlikely to survive as separate legislation. The two lawmakers haven’t produced the 10 Republicans who would be needed to succeed in the 50-50 Senate, where most bills need 60 votes. Its prospects also diminished after the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office estimated it would cost about $23 billion. The budget office said the bill would reduce insulin costs for many consumers, but also drive up government costs and premiums charged by Medicare and private insurers. It’s unclear what insulin language Democrats will propose for their new economic pack age. Prior language that required private insurers to set a $35 monthly insulin cap may violate the chamber’s rules, which only allow provisions primarily affecting the federal budget. In add it ion, u nder t he pr o c e s s Democrats are using to move the measure through the chamber by a simple majority, with Vice President Kamala Harris’ tiebreaking vote, it would face multiple amendments in a voting session that can run through the night, and there is no telling whether some will pass.

PROSPECTS

Every Republican seems poised to vote “no.” Democrats will need all 50 of their own votes in the Senate, where unpredictable Sen. Kyrsten Sinema, D-Ariz., has yet to state her view. Democrats can lose no more than four House votes to succeed there. Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., said Friday that when the Senate approves the package, “We’ll pass it.” Schumer wants Senate passage next week. He acknowledged that timeline is “going to be hard” because it will take time for the chamber’s parliamentarian to make sure the bill conforms to Senate rules. This w ill also take luck. A ll 50 Democrats, including both independents who support them, will have to be healthy enough to show up and vote. That’s not guaranteed. The latest, extremely contagious COVID-19 variant is spreading around the country. And the chamber has 33 senators who are 70 years old or more, including 19 Democrats. Sen. Richard Durbin, D-Ill., 77, was the latest senator to announce he’d contracted the disease. Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., 82, has been out after hip surgery. Both are expected back next week.

Schools

Cities face crisis as fewer kids enroll and schools shrink By Mila Koumpilova and Matt Barnum of Chalkbeat and Collin Binkley of Associated Press Chalkbeat and Associated Press

CHICAGO (AP) — On a recent morning inside Chalmers School of Excellence on Chicago’s West Side, five preschool and kindergarten students finished up drawings. Four staffers, including a teacher and a tutor, chatted with them about colors and shapes. The summer program offers the kind of one-on-one support parents love. But behind the scenes, Principal Romian Crockett worries the school is becoming precariously small. Chalmers lost almost a third of its enrollment during the pandemic, shrinking to 215 students. In Chicago, COVID-19 worsened declines that preceded the virus: Predominantly Black neighborhoods like Chalmers’ North Lawndale, long plagued by disinvestment, have seen an exodus of families over the past decade. The number of small schools like Chalmers is growing in many American cities as public school enrollment declines. More than one in five New York City elementary schools had fewer than 300 students last school year. In Los Angeles, that figure was over one in four. In Chicago it has grown to nearly one in three, and in Boston it’s approaching one in two, according to a Chalkbeat/AP analysis. Most of these schools were not originally designed to be small, and educators worry coming years will bring tighter budgets even as schools are recovering from the pandemic’s disruption. “When you lose kids, you lose resources,” said Crockett, the Chalmers principal. “That impacts your ability to serve kids with very high needs.” A state law prohibits Chicago from closing or consolidating schools until 2025. And across the U.S., COVID-19 relief money is helping subsidize shrinking schools. But when the money runs out in a few years, officials will face a difficult choice: Keep the schools open despite the financial strain, or close them, upsetting communities looking for stability for their children. “My worry is that we will shut down when we have all worked so hard,” said Yvonne Wooden, who serves on Chalmers’ school council. Her children went to the pre-K through eighth-grade school, and two grandchildren attend now. “That would really hurt our neighborhood.” The pandemic accelerated enrollment declines in many districts as families switched to homeschooling, charter schools and other options. Students moved away or vanished from school rolls for

unknown reasons. Many districts like Chicago give schools money for each student. That means small schools sometimes struggle to pay for fixed costs — the principal, a counselor and building upkeep. To address that, many allocate extra money to small schools, diverting dollars from larger schools. In Chicago, the district spends an average of $19,000 annually per student at small high schools, while students at larger ones get $10,000, according to the Chalkbeat/AP analysis. “I love small schools, but small schools are very expensive,” Chicago schools chief Pedro Martinez told the school board recently. “We can get some really creative, innovative models, but we need the funding.” At the same time, these schools are often stretched thin. Very small schools offer fewer clubs, sports and arts programs. Some elementary schools group students from different grades in the same classroom, although Martinez has vowed that won’t happen next year. Manley Career Academy High School on Chicago’s West Side illustrates the paradox. It now serves 65 students, and the cost per student has shot up to $40,000, even though schools like Manley offer few elective courses, sports and extracurricular activities. “We’re spending $40,000 per pupil just to offer the bare minimum,” said Hal Woods of the advocacy group Kids First Chicago, which has studied declining enrollment in the district. “It’s not really a $40,000-per-pupil student experience.” Small schools are popular with families, teachers and community members because of their tight-knit, supportive feel. Some argue districts should pour more dollars into these schools, many in predominantly Black and Latino neighborhoods hard hit by the pandemic. Schools serve as community hubs and points of local pride even as they lose students — as is the case in North Lawndale. Race also looms large. Nationally, schools with more students of color are more likely to be closed, and those in affected communities often feel unfairly targeted. The prospect of closing schools is particularly fraught in Chicago, where 50 schools were shuttered in 2013, most in predominantly Black neighborhoods. The move frayed trust between residents and the district and, according to University of Chicago research, markedly disrupted learning for low-income students. In Boston, where the district had been

losing students well before the pandemic, families are skeptical of closures. Among the schools most at risk is P.A. Shaw Elementary School in Boston’s Dorchester neighborhood. Revived from a previous closure in 2014, the school had just over 150 students last year, down from 250 in 2018. After making plans to eliminate two classrooms earlier this year — seen by some as a harbinger of closure — the district faced blowback from parents and teachers. Parents rallying behind the school included Brenda Ramsey, whose 7-year-old daughter, Emersyn Wise, is entering second grade. When Ramsey became homeless and went to stay with family during the pandemic, teachers from Shaw drove half an hour to deliver schoolwork. Later, the school’s staff helped Ramsey find permanent housing. Ramsey, 32, still remembers the joy she felt when she and her two daughters first visited Shaw. “The principal looked like them — she was a young Black woman who was excited to see them,” she said.” They were really big on family engagement, family involvement, and that’s just something you don’t see that often.” Now, with the school’s fate in question, Ramsey is debating whether to keep Emersyn there. Ramsey’s dilemma illustrates what the district calls its “cycle of declining enrollment”: Schools’ enrollment falls, leading to financial instability — which prompts even more families to leave. The problem is often worse at schools with more students of color. And when schools face closure, it’s “devastating” for families, said Suleika Soto, acting director of the Boston Education Justice Alliance, which advocates for underrepresented students.

“It means you have to uproot,” she said. “And then if parents don’t like it, then they’ll remove their children from the public school system, which again adds to the toxic cycle.” Nevertheless, some urban school districts that are losing students, including Denver, Indianapolis, and Kansas City, Missouri, are considering school closures. Earlier this year, the Oakland, California, school board voted to close several small schools despite furious protests. “School budgets have been cut as a way to keep more schools open,” said former Oakland board member Shanthi Gonzales, who resigned in May soon after voting to support school closures. “There are really awful tradeoffs.” Elsewhere, leaders — buoyed by federal COVID-19 relief funds — have continued to invest in these schools. Chicago will use about $140 million of the $2.8 billion in COVID-19 relief it got to help prop up small schools this school year, officials said. Martinez, who took over as schools chief last fall, has sidestepped talk of closures, saying he wants to study how the district can make its campuses more attractive to families — and push for more money from the state. In Los Angeles and New York City, officials say they’re focused on luring students back into the system, not school closures. But federal relief money will run out soon: districts must budget that money by September 2024. When it does, districts may be hard pressed to keep all of their small schools afloat. “It’s a huge problem,” said Bruce Fuller, an education researcher at University of California, Berkeley. “It’s going to be increasingly difficult for superintendents to justify keeping these places open as the number of these schools continues to rise.”

Bill Russell

Bill Russell, NBA star and civil rights pioneer, dies at 88 By Jimmy Golen Associated Press

BOSTON (AP) — Bill Russell redefined how basketball is played, and then he changed the way sports are viewed in a racially divided country. The most prolific winner in NBA history, Russell marched with Martin Luther King Jr., stood with Muhammad Ali and received the Presidential Medal of Freedom from President Barack Obama. The centerpiece of the Boston Celtics dynasty that won 11 championships in 13 years, Russell earned his last two NBA titles as a player-coach — the first Black coach in any major U.S. sport. Russell died Sunday at the age of 88, with his wife, Jeannine, at his side, his family said in a statement posted on social media. No cause of death was immediately available; Russell, who had been living in the Seattle area, was not well enough to present the NBA Finals MVP trophy in June due to a long illness. “We hope each of us can find a new way to act or speak up with Bill’s uncompromising, dignified and always constructive commitment to principle,” the family said. “That would be one last, and lasting, win for our beloved #6.” A Hall of Famer, five-time Most Valuable Player and 12-time All-Star, Russell in 1980 was voted the greatest player in the NBA history by basketball writers. He remains the sport’s most decorated champion — he also won two college titles and an Olympic gold medal — and an archetype of selflessness who won with defense and rebounding while others racked up gaudy scoring totals. Often, that meant Wilt Chamberlain, the only worthy rival of Russell’s era and his prime competition for rebounds, MVP trophies and barroom arguments about who was better. Chamberlain, who died in 1999 at 63, had twice as many points, four MVP trophies of his own and is the only person in league history to grab more rebounds than Russell — 23,924 to 21,620. But Russell dominated in the only stat he cared about: 11 championships to two. “Bill Russell was the greatest champion in all of team sports,” NBA Commissioner Adam Silver said. More importantly, he added: “Bill stood for something much bigger than sports: the values of equality, respect and inclusion that he stamped into the DNA of our league.” In a statement released by the White House, President Joe Biden praised

Russell for his lifelong work in civil right as well as in sports, and called him “a towering champion for freedom, equality, and justice.” “Bill Russell is one of the greatest athletes in our history - an all-time champion of champions, and a good man and great American who did everything he could to deliver the promise of America for all Americans,” Biden said. Reaction poured in Sunday, from Obama to Michael Jordan, from Magic Johnson to Boston’s Mayor, Michelle Wu. “Today, we lost a giant,” Obama said. “As tall as Bill Russell stood, his legacy rises far higher — both as a player and as a person. Perhaps more than anyone else, Bill knew what it took to win and what it took to lead.” A Louisiana native, Russell also left a lasting mark as a Black athlete in a city — and country — where race is often a flash point. He was at the March on Washington in 1963, when King gave his “I Have a Dream” speech, and he backed Ali when the boxer was pilloried for refusing induction into the military draft. In 2011, Obama awarded Russell the Medal of Freedom alongside Congressman John Lewis, billionaire investor Warren Buffett, then-German Chancellor Angela Merkel and baseball great Stan Musial. “To be the greatest champion in your sport, to revolutionize the way the game is played, and to be a societal leader all at once seems unthinkable,” the Celtics said on Sunday. “But that is who Bill Russell was.” Russell said that when he was growing up in the segregated South and later California his parents instilled in him the calm confidence that allowed him to brush off racist taunts. “Years later, people asked me what I had to go through,” Russell said in 2008. “Unfortunately, or fortunately, I’ve never been through anything. From my first moment of being alive was the notion that my mother and father loved me.” It was Russell’s mother who would tell him to disregard comments from those who might see him playing in the yard. “Whatever they say, good or bad, they don’t know you,” he recalled her saying. “They’re wrestling with their own demons.” But it was Jackie Robinson who gave Russell a road map for dealing with racism in his sport: “Jackie was a hero to us. He always conducted himself as a

man. He showed me the way to be a man in professional sports.” The feeling was mutual, Russell learned, when Robinson’s widow, Rachel, called and asked him to be a pallbearer at her husband’s funeral in 1972. “She hung the phone up and I asked myself, ‘How do you get to be a hero to Jackie Robinson?’” Russell said. “I was so flattered.” William Felton Russell was born on Feb. 12, 1934, in Monroe, Louisiana. He was a child when his family moved to the West Coast, and he went to high school in Oakland, California, and then the University of San Francisco. He led the Dons to NCAA championships in 1955 and 1956 and won a gold medal in 1956 at the Melbourne Olympics in Australia. Celtics coach and general manager Red Auerbach so coveted Russell that he worked out a trade with the St. Louis Hawks for the second pick in the draft. He promised the Rochester Royals, who owned the No. 1 pick, a lucrative visit by the Ice Capades, which were also run by Celtics owner Walter Brown. Still, Russell arrived in Boston to complaints that he wasn’t that good. “People said it was a wasted draft choice, wasted money,” he recalled. “They said, ‘He’s no good. All he can do is block shots and rebound.’ And Red said, ‘That’s enough.’” The Celtics also picked up Tommy Heinsohn and K.C. Jones, Russell’s college teammate, in the same draft. Although Russell joined the team late because he was leading the U.S. to the Olympic gold, Boston finished the regular season with the league’s best record. The Celtics won the NBA championship — their first of 17 — in a double-overtime seventh game against Bob Pettit’s St. Louis Hawks. Russell won his first MVP award the next season, but the Hawks won the title in a finals rematch. The Celtics won it all again in 1959, starting an unprecedented string of eight consecutive NBA crowns. A 6-foot-10 center, Russell never averaged more than 18.9 points during his 13 seasons, each year producing more rebounds than points. For 10 seasons he averaged more than 20 rebounds. He once had 51 rebounds in a game; Chamberlain holds the record with 55. Auerbach retired after winning the 1966 title, and Russell became the player-coach — the first Black head coach in

NBA history, and almost a decade before Frank Robinson took over Cleveland in baseball’s American League. Boston’s title streak ended with a loss to Chamberlain and the Philadelphia 76ers in the Eastern Division finals. Russell led the Celtics back to titles in 1968 and ‘69, each time winning sevengame playoff series against Chamberlain. Russell retired after the ‘69 finals, returning for a relatively successful — but unfulfilling — four-year stint as coach and GM of the Seattle SuperSonics and a less fruitful half season as coach of the Sacramento Kings. Russell’s No. 6 jersey was retired by the Celtics in 1972. He earned spots on the NBA’s 25th anniversary all-time team in 1970, 35th anniversary team in 1980 and 75th anniversary team. In 1996, he was hailed as one of the NBA’s 50 greatest players. In 2009, the MVP trophy of the NBA Finals was named in his honor. (Russell never won the honor, because it was awarded for the first time in 1969.) He presented his namesake trophy for many years, the last in 2019 to Kawhi Leonard; Russell was not there in 2020 because of the NBA bubble nor in 2021 due to COVID19 concerns. In 2013, a statue was unveiled on Boston’s City Hall Plaza of Russell surrounded by blocks of granite with quotes on leadership and character. Russell was inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame in 1975 but did not attend the ceremony, saying he should not have been the first African American elected. (Chuck Cooper, the NBA’s first Black player, was his choice.) In 2019, Russell accepted his Hall of Fame ring in a private gathering. “I felt others before me should have had that honor,” he tweeted. “Good to see progress.” But to Jordan, Russell stood alone. “Bill Russell was a pioneer — as a player, as a champion, as the NBA’s first Black head coach and as an activist,” the former Chicago Bulls star and current Charlotte Hornets majority owner said. “He paved the way and set an example for every Black player who came into the league after him, including me. The world has lost a legend.” Russell’s family said arrangements for the memorial service will be announced in the coming days.

TUBE TALK

No Summer Slump BY PAULA HENDRICKSON CONTRIBUTOR

With longer days, cooler evenings, and a lot of people away on summer vacations, summer was never historically a season with prime programming. Thankfully those says are gone. It’s been hard to miss all of the ads lately touting the new animated Marvel property, I Am Groot. For those who haven’t already figured it out, the Guardians of the Galaxy animated spino� premieres on August 10, with Vin Diesel again voicing the tree-like title character. It might be fun to discover how many di�erent things the words “I am Groot” can convey in five short episodes. Last month, the Coronado Theater was packed with people eager to see the first

episode of the new Amazon Prime Video series, A League of Their Own, inspired by the legendary Rockford Peaches. As of August 12, anyone with access to Prime Video can find out what the buzz is all about. Also on August 12, the third season of Never Have I Ever premiers on Netflix. The coming-of-age comedy, co-created by Mindy Kaling, returns with Devi (Maitreyi Ramakrishnan) experiencing life as the less-popular half of a high school power couple and all of the gossip that goes with it. She’s also still trading barbs with her ex—and her intellectual match – Ben (Jaron Lewison); further complicating her teenage love life, Devi’s dermatologist mom (Poorna Jagannathan) sets her up with an Indian

boy who’s not exactly what Devi expected. A new comedy, also from the Marvel universe, comes to Disney+ on August 17th, She-Hulk: Attorney at Law, with Tatiana Maslany (Orphan Black) as the cousin of the Incredible Hulk himself, Bruce Banner (Mark Ru�alo). Jennifer also happens to be a lawyer who specializes in cases involving “superhuman law” – in short, she tries to clean up the legal messes left in the wake of showdowns between superheros and villains. Expect various Marvel superheroes to require her legal assistance. Games of Thrones fans have long been awaiting the arrival of the prequel series, House of the Dragon, which premieres August 21 on HBO and HBO Max. Set some 200 years before the events of

the original series, House of the Dragon focuses on the early days of the House of Targaryen. Much of its plot is based on George R. R. Martin’s book Fire and Blood. Former Doctor Who star Matt Smith stars as Prince Daemon Targaryen, with Emma D’Arcy (Truth Seekers) as Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen. Olivia Cooke (Bates Motel) plays Alicent Hightower and Rhys Ifans (Spider-Man: No Way Home) is Otto Hightower. The expansive cast, elaborate sets, and of course the dragons, should all feel familiar yet new to Games of Thrones fans. This summer, the biggest dilemma some viewers will have is trying to keep up with their favorite new shows.

Burpee Museum Opens Contemporary Native American Cultural Exhibit FROM BURPEE MUSEUM OF NATURAL HISTORY

ROCKFORD - Burpee Museum invites you to experience our newest contemporary exhibition “Of This Place,” a collaborative e�ort between the Burpee Museum and Native American people from the Sac and Fox, Potawatomi, and Ojibwe Nations, which opened to the general public on Saturday, July 30, 2022. The exhibition is curated by Starla Thompson (Forest Band Potawatomi) and generously brought to the community of Rockford through January 2023 by the Chicago Blackhawks

Foundation and BMO. Be inspired by contemporary and traditional artworks and learn about the histories of the represented Nations from their own cultural educators and artists. Experience the living cultures, languages, and history of the Native American people who are of this place.

‘A space to tell Native American experiences’

“Natural history museums have a big responsibility to share accurate information with our community through

research and collaboration,” said Anne Weerda, Executive Director of the Burpee Museum. “Our exhibits need to be primary sources of information. For cultural exhibitions, we must do better than we have in the past. We are starting by collaborating and providing a space to tell Native American stories through the voices of the people from the Rock River Region.” “As we collaboratively created ‘Of This Place’, the stories, art, videos, selected artifacts, and text in this exhibit are through the voices and choices of people of the Sac and Fox, Potawatomi, and Ojibwe Nations,” added Weerda.

‘Discover the resilience of Native culture to continue to thrive’

“Of This Place” brings Rockford’s Native history forward, providing space and place for the descendants of the Indigenous people of this land. The Burpee Museum invites you to learn about each Nation’s narratives, experiences, and historical understandings through marvelous works of art and dynamic education. As you view the Burpee Museum’s historic collections alongside the modern works of our collaborative artists, you will experience the journey that disconnected these Nations from the Rockford region and discover the

resilience of Native culture to continue to thrive. “Of This Place” proudly brings collaborative members of the Potawatomi, Ojibwe, and Sac and Fox home to their ancestral land as they share their history, culture, and life with the greater Rockford community. “Many of our fans recognize Starla as the talented Jingle Dress dancer who brings our Land Acknowledgement to life each and every game night, helping our community learn more about the Native Nations who were forcibly removed from their homelands in Illinois. We are incredibly proud to support her and the Burpee Museum on this resource for our entire region to continue to learn about and lift Native American voices,” said Sara Guderyahn, Chicago Blackhawks Vice President of Community and Executive Director of the Chicago Blackhawks Foundation. “BMO is proud to work with the Blackhawks to honor and acknowledge the histories of those Nations represented through this special exhibit at the museum,” said Tina McNeill, BMO North West Market President. “We know the Rockford community will find great value in this experience”.

ENERGY & ENVIRONMENT

Reopening the great energy debate BY DRS. ROBERT & SONIA VOGL

ILLINOIS RENEWABLE ENERGY ASSOCIATION CONTRIBUTORS

A local engineer who has worked for years to reduce his energy bills reports that even as he used less energy his energy bills continued to climb. Not only does the cost of energy rise but the cost of delivering it continues to increase. After doing some calculations he decided to abandon the use of propane for heating and transitioned to solar energy. For the past nine years solar energy has supplied electricity and heating and cooling needs for his home and shop. Using the latest technology, heat pumps heat and cool his two buildings year round leaving him with a surplus of energy. He helps the power company use his excess electricity to level their load by sending his excess to his neighbor for air conditioning. While the cost of electricity and delivering it has risen he remains una�ected as he still produces excess electricity. He avoids buying energ y for his property and has achieved a zero carbon footprint without giving up any luxuries. It was achieved using technology that one person could buy and use. Its cost e�ectiveness relies on a net metering contract with the electric power company. In e�ect, the utility serves as his battery involving trading time and energy credits with the nearby nuclear power plant. Adding more renewable energy to the grid at this time is seen as reducing its e�ciency and increasing the use of dirty fossil fueled peaker plants to supply needed power. Using real numbers on battery costs

reveals that batteries are unable to solve the intermittency problems associated with using renewable energy. Also, renewable energy itself has a host of adverse environmental impacts. Since nuclear power has proven its e�ectiveness for decades it appears to be superior to other solutions. He recommends we get busy on the next generation of nuclear power reactors. Any discussion of clean energy should include nuclear power. His ability to reach a net zero energy goal is admirable but he acknowledges that his methods of reaching it cannot be expanded to the entire world. If the Byron plant continues to perform well his approach should enable him to continue his zero net energy performance. The role of nuclear power in a clean energy future is being revisited within the United States. It is likely to produce another arena of debate regarding our energy future, including reminders of the risks involved in expanding its use and well as it benefits. In Illinois the goal of future reliance on clean energy already includes a commitment to existing nuclear power plants. Current e�orts to build a large scale light water nuclear power plant in Georgia is challenged with rising costs and failing to meet its projected timeline. Smaller nuclear reactor designs appear to be reaching the point of installation in Ontario. Data regarding their performance should come in the near future. Since other countries are still building nuclear power plants it remains feasible that the industry could be revived.

However the risks involved in the use of nuclear power remain and are likely to regain political influence. Building the Byron plant included cost overruns. Concern over the quality of welding in the piping systems required redoing some of the welds. A recent advocate of nuclear power in the United States feels that the country has lost a considerable amount of nuclear expertise along with a lack of highly skilled welders essential to successful resurgence in the nuclear power industry.

Beyond the issue of which sources of energy will power the economy is the reality that whatever sources of power becomes dominant, all rely on fossil fuels for their creation, installation and maintenance. All energy sources extract an environmental toll on the planet deteriorating its health as well as that of its inhabitants. Ignored in the energy debates is the challenge of adjusting to a decline in surplus energy. Information from discussions with Bruce Roe, engineer.

Horoscope SCORPIO, SAGITTARIUS AND CAPRICORN THE LUCKIEST SIGNS THIS WEEK:

ARIES

This week you’ll do some letting go. If you return to work, your files may be in a bit of a mess upon your arrival. You’ll have to revise your organization and re­ view your schedule in detail before you get down to business.

TAURUS

There are plenty of people around you, and your social media is very active. You could end your vacation by plan­ ning a party to bring your loved ones together. Pleasure and lovely moments are on the horizon.

GEMINI

The back­to­school ads are out already. Even if you don’t have children, you’ll be responsible for an activity that has similar requirements, even if it’s just to nurture some of your loved ones.

CANCER

While you may have social activities plan­ ned, your boss or some other obligation will put a damper on your enthusiasm. They’ll say you must prioritize responsi­ bilities over fun. You’ll find peace of mind for a celebration.

LEO

Vacation or not, you’ll be looking to make an escape soon. At least, you’ll take some time for a road trip, so you’ll make some lovely discoveries and get away from it all for a while.

VIRGO

You’ll feel on edge. Luckily, as the say­ ing goes, sunshine comes after the rain. You’ll have occasion to celebrate your good fortune in one way or another. Smile at life, and you’ll find it smiles back at you.

LIBRA

You’ll feel a measure of irritation and need to take some time. You’ll have to make some adjustments to avoid mis­ communications in the future. This will quickly help with mutual understanding.

SCORPIO

Work will take up a lot of space this week. You’ll become aware of the im­ portance of spending quality time with loved ones. Harmony brings balance within all spheres of your life.

SAGITTARIUS

You may be surprised by some changes when you return to work from vacation. To your great surprise, you may be of­ fered a new management role or a pro­ motion due to a leader’s departure.

CAPRICORN

You’ll embark on some work at home. Why not update your décor? You’ll dis­ cover new talents and be filled with pride to see what you can do with your very own hands.

AQUARIUS

You’ll find happiness in shopping. You’ll be on the search for bargains and will sniff out many treasures. You may also discover a valuable antique in the attic or basement of a family member.

PISCES

After a period of stress and intense ac­ tivity, what can be more pleasant than a bit of relaxation? You’ll take some time to visit a spa and indulge in self­care. Treat yourself and make the most of the present moment.
