State lays out $34.6B multi-year spending plan for roads, bridges, ports, airports, rail and transit Rebuild Illinois plan provides state funding backbone for latest annual multi-year plan

SPRINGFIELD – The Illinois Department of Transportation on Friday laid out a $34.6 billion six-year spending plan for road, bridge, transit, rail, airport and port upkeep.

It’s the latest multi-year plan backed by the state’s 2019 Rebuild Illinois bipartisan infrastructure law, which doubled the state’s motor fuel tax from 19 to 38 cents per gallon and scheduled it to grow with the rate of inflation. That measure also increased driving-related fees, redirected a portion of the state’s sales tax on motor fuel to the road fund and authorized borrowing to pay for construction projects.

“A little over three years ago, I signed our historic bipartisan infrastructure program into law,” Gov. JB Pritzker said at a news conference at the IDOT building in Springfield. “And since then, Rebuild Illinois has undertaken a massive transformation of our state’s transportation systems.”

Approximately $8.6 billion has already been spent in the first three years of the Rebuild Illinois plan on road and bridge projects, including over $6.4 billion on the state transportation system and over $2.1 billion on local systems.

It’s a slower pace than laid out in the six-year $33.2 billion spending plan passed in 2019. But IDOT Secretary Omer Osman said he’s hopeful that the pace picks up as several large projects move beyond the initial engineering phase.

IDOT has expanded its engineering staff and lawmakers approved a “designbuild” process in Senate Bill 2981 this year to combine the design and construction in a more efficient bidding process, which could also hasten things, he said.

“We are aggressively, aggressively pushing all these projects across the entire state,” he said.

The highway portion of the multi-year plan – a required filing each year for the state’s transportation agency – accounts for $24.6 billion of the planned spending.

Of that, $13.3 billion, or 54 percent, is federally funded, just over $6 billion is state funding, $4.1 billion comes from

bond proceeds, and $1.2 billion comes from local reimbursements.

The current fiscal year, which began July 1, is scheduled to see $3.7 billion in new construction under the road and bridge plan.

Another near-$10 billion in combined state, federal, local and private spending was laid out for transit, marine transportation, railways and airports. Of that, 59 percent was state spending and 31 percent federal.

Projects in that plan range from construction of high-speed rail between St. Louis and Chicago to airport upgrades to support for major port renovations at the confluence of the Mississippi and Ohio rivers near Cairo in southern Illinois.

Road projects are underway in all nine of the state’s IDOT districts, from a $54 million interchange reconstruction, bridge replacement and repair on Interstate 80 in Will County, to $100.3 million for improvements on Interstate 24 from Metropolis to Interstate 57 in Massac, Johnson and Williamson counties.

“The renovation of nearly 4,500 miles of highway and over 400 bridges has already been completed, and virtually every Illinois resident can see and feel the results in real time,” Pritzker said.

The bipartisan Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act signed into law

by President Joe Biden last year allowed Illinois to expand its multi-year plan by $4 billion, Osman said.

The fact that Illinois had an infrastructure plan when the federal law passed, Pritzker said, made the state better equipped to take advantage of federal matching funding, which provides for an 80 percent federal match for a state’s investment of 20 percent of certain projects’ costs.

“Because we passed rebuild Illinois two-and-a-half years before the (federal law) was passed, we actually are shovel ready, we have the resources available,” Pritzker said. “There are a lot of other states that have to come up with those dollars, don’t know where they’re going to come from. And so we’re really in a position to do much more, much more quickly.”

The Rebuild Illinois plan passed with overwhelming bipartisan majorities in Pritzker’s first year as governor, marking the first state capital infrastructure plan

in nearly a decade.

Lawmakers from both parties hailed it as forward-thinking for its automatic motor fuel tax increase, raised registration rates for electric vehicles, and the authorization of bonding to pay for construction.

The motor fuel tax and fee increase, contained in Senate Bill 1939 passed 48-9 in the Senate and 83-29 in the House. The spending plan, contained in House Bill 62, passed 95-18 in the House and 53-6 in the Senate. The bonding authority measure, contained in House Bill 142, passed 94-20 in the House and 53-6 in the Senate.

One lawmaker voting against all three portions of the plan was then-Rep. Darren Bailey, the Xenia Republican and current state senator who is challenging Pritzker in the 2022 governor’s race.

Bailey has frequently criticized the motor fuel tax increase, successfully using it as an avenue of attack against challengers in the Republican primary.

But he hasn’t offered up an infrastructure funding plan of his own.

Asked for comment on the infrastructure plan and potential alternatives Friday, Bailey’s team issued a statement.

“JB Prtizker’s gas tax hike gave Illinois the second-highest gas tax in the country, and some of the highest gas prices. It is simply not affordable,” spokesperson Joe DeBose said in a statement. “48 states are able to build their transportation infrastructure with lower gas taxes than Illinois. We can do better with zero-based budgeting and reprioritizing spending, but not with J.B. Pritzker in charge.”

Osman, who has worked at IDOT for more than 30 years and became its director under Pritzker, said the motor fuel tax increase means infrastructure improvements can continue beyond Rebuild Illinois’ initial six-year lifespan.

“We are number three in the nation when it comes to interstate land mileage, and that’s a big statement to make,” he said. “Our system is complex, and we need that sustainable funding as we go down the road beyond the six years, for sure.”

China announces new drills as US delegation visits Taiwan

By Johnson Lai Associated Press

TAIPEI, Taiwan (AP) — China announced more military drills around Taiwan as the self-governing island’s president met with members of a new U.S. congressional delegation on Monday, threatening to renew tensions between Beijing and Washington after a similar recent visit by U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi angered China.

Pelosi was the highest-level member of the U.S. government to visit Taiwan in 25 years, and her trip prompted nearly two weeks of threatening military exercises by China, which claims the island as its own.

In those drills, Beijing fired missiles over the island and into the Taiwan Strait and sent warplanes and navy ships across the waterway’s midline, which has long been a buffer between the sides that split amid civil war in 1949.

China accuses the U.S. of encouraging the island’s independence through the sale of weapons and engagement between U.S. politicians and the island’s government.

Washington says it does not support independence, has no formal diplomatic ties with the island and maintains that the two sides should settle their dispute peacefully — but it is legally bound to ensure the island can defend itself against any attack.

American and Taiwanese officials have accused China of using Pelosi’s visit as a pretext for intimidating moves, and a senior U.S. official said recently that Washington would continue to deepen its ties with Taiwan in the coming days and weeks.

The latest trip began Sunday with little notice ahead of time — and drew more ire from China. The delegation was due to leave late Monday.

“China will take resolute and strong measures to defend national sovereignty and territorial integrity,” Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Wang Wenbin said at a daily briefing Monday, after Beijing announced new drills in the seas and skies surrounding Taiwan. “A handful of U.S. politicians, in collusion with the separatist forces of Taiwan independence, are trying to challenge the one-China principle, which is out of their depth and doomed to failure.”

The new exercises were intended to be “resolute response and solemn deterrent against collusion and provocation between the U.S. and Taiwan,” the Defense Ministry said earlier.

It was not clear if the new drills had already started since the ministry gave no details about where and when they would be conducted, in contrast to previous

rounds.

The U.S. lawmakers, led by Democratic Sen. Ed Markey of Massachusetts, met with President Tsai Ing-wen, Foreign Minister Joseph Wu and legislators, according to the American Institute in Taiwan, Washington’s de facto embassy on the island.

At their meeting, Tsai said her administration was working with allies to ensure stability in the Taiwan Strait and maintain the status quo — a reference to the island’s self-governance, separate from Beijing.

“Russia’s invasion of Ukraine earlier this year has shown the threat that authoritarian nations pose to the global order,” Tsai said.

Markey responded by saying Washington and Taipei had a “moral obligation to do everything we can to prevent an unnecessary conflict and Taiwan has demonstrated incredible restraint and discretion during challenging times.”

The senator also highlighted legislation intended to boost political and economic ties with Taiwan, especially in the critical semiconductor industry. Taiwan is a crucial provider of computer chips for the global economy, including China’s hightech sectors, and beyond the geopolitical risks of rising tensions in the region, an extended crisis in the Taiwan Strait could have major implications for international supply chains at a time when the world is already facing disruptions and uncertainty.

Markey is one of the few members of Congress still serving who voted for the 1979 Taiwan Relations Act that ensured continued relations with the island following the switch of U.S. diplomatic recognition from Taipei to Beijing. The other members of the delegation are Republican Rep. Aumua Amata Coleman Radewagen, a delegate from American Samoa, and Democrats John Garamendi and Alan Lowenthal from California and

Don Beyer from Virginia.

China says it wants to use peaceful means to bring Taiwan under its control, but its recent saber rattling has emphasized its threat to take the island by military force. The earlier drills appeared to be a rehearsal of a blockade or attack on Taiwan that would force the cancellation of commercial flights and disrupt shipping to Taiwan’s main ports as well as cargo passing through the Taiwan Strait, one of the world’s busiest shipping lanes.

The exercises prompted Taiwan to put its military on alert, but were met largely with defiance or apathy among the public used to living in China’s shadow.

The American “visit at this time is of great significance, because the Chinese military exercise is (intended) to deter U.S. congressmen from visiting Taiwan,” Lo Chih-cheng, the chair of the Taiwan legislature’s Foreign and National Defense Committee, said after meeting with the U.S. lawmakers.

“Their visit this time proves that China cannot stop politicians from any country to visit Taiwan, and it also conveys an important message that the American people stand with the Taiwanese people,” Lo said.

A senior White House official on Asia policy said last week that China had used Pelosi’s visit as an excuse to launch an intensified pressure campaign against Taiwan.

“China has overreacted, and its actions continue to be provocative, destabilizing, and unprecedented,” Kurt Campbell, a deputy assistant to U.S. President Joe Biden, said on a call with reporters on Friday.

Campbell said the U.S. would send warships and planes through the Taiwan Strait in the next few weeks and is developing a roadmap for trade talks with Taiwan that he said the U.S. intends to announce in the coming days.

Western Drought

Deadline looms for drought-stricken states to cut water use

By Sam Metz and Felicia Fonseca Associated Press

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — Banks along parts of the Colorado River where water once streamed are now just caked mud and rock as climate change makes the Western U.S. hotter and drier.

More than two decades of drought have done little to deter the region from diverting more water than flows through it, depleting key reservoirs to levels that now jeopardize water delivery and hydropower production.

Cities and farms in seven U.S. states are bracing for cuts this week as officials stare down a deadline to propose unprecedented reductions to their use of the water, setting up what’s expected to be the most consequential week for Colorado River policy in years.

The U.S. Bureau of Reclamation in June told the states — Arizona, California, Colorado, Nevada, New Mexico, Utah and Wyoming — to determine how to use at least 15% less water next year, or have restrictions imposed on them. The bureau is also expected to publish hydrology projections that will trigger additional cuts already agreed to.

“The challenges we are seeing today are unlike anything we have seen in our history,” Camille Touton, the bureau’s commissioner, said at a U.S. Senate hearing.

Tensions over the extent of the cuts and how to spread them equitably have flared, with states pointing fingers and stubbornly clinging to their water rights despite the looming crisis.

“It’s not fun sitting around a table figuring out who is going to sacrifice and how much,” said Bill Hasencamp, the Colorado River resources manager at Metropolitan Water District, which provides water to most of Southern California.

Representatives from the seven states convened in Denver last week for last minute negotiations behind closed doors.

Officials party to discussions said the most likely targets for cuts are Arizona and California farmers. Agricultural districts in those states are asking to be paid generously to bear that burden.

But the tentative agreements fall short of what the Bureau of Reclamation has demanded and state officials say they hope for more time to negotiate details.

The Colorado River cascades from the Rocky Mountains into the arid deserts of the Southwest. It’s the primary water supply for 40 million people. About 70% of its water goes toward irrigation,

sustaining a $15 billion-a-year agricultural industry that supplies 90% of the United States’ winter vegetables.

Water from the river is divided among Mexico and the seven U.S. states under a series of agreements that date back a century, to a time when more flowed.

But climate change has transformed the river’s hydrology, providing less snowmelt and causing hotter temperatures and more evaporation. As the river yielded less water, the states agreed to cuts tied to the levels of reservoirs that store its water.

Last year, federal officials for the first time declared a water shortage, triggering cuts to Nevada, Arizona and Mexico’s share of the river to help prevent the two largest reservoirs — Lake Powell and Lake Mead — from dropping low enough to threaten hydropower production and stop water from flowing through their dams.

The proposals for supplemental cuts due this week have inflamed disagreement bet ween upper basin states — Colorado, New Mexico, Utah and Wyoming — and lower basin states — Arizona, California and Nevada — over how to spread the pain.

The lower basin states use most of the water and have thus far shouldered most of the cuts. The upper basin states have historically not used their full allocations but want to maintain water rights to plan for population growth.

Gene Shawcroft, the chairman of Utah’s Colorado River Authority, believes the lower basin states should take most of the cuts because they use most of the water and their full allocations.

He said it was his job to protect Utah’s allocation for growth projected for decades ahead: “The direction we’ve been given as water purveyors is to make sure we have water for the future.”

In a letter last month, representatives from the upper basin states proposed a five-point conservation plan they said would save water, but argued most cuts needed to come from the lower basin.

The plan didn’t commit to any numbers.

“The focus is getting the tools in place and working with water users to get as much as we can rather than projecting a water number,” Chuck Cullom, the executive director of the Upper Colorado River Commission, told The Associated Press.

That position, however, is unsatisfactory to many in lower basin states already facing cuts.

“It’s going to come to a head particularly if the upper basin states continue

their negotiating position, saying, ‘We’re not making any cuts,’” said Bruce Babbitt, who served as Interior secretary from 2003-2011.

Lower basin states have yet to go public with plans to contribute, but officials said last week that the states’ tentative proposal under discussion fell slightly short of the federal government’s request to cut 2 to 4 million acre-feet.

An acre-foot of water is enough to serve 2-3 households annually.

Hasencamp, the Metropolitan Water District’s Colorado R iver resource manager, said all the districts in California that draw from the river had agreed to contribute water or money to the plan, pending approval by their respective boards. Water districts, in particular Imperial Irrigation District, have been adamant that any voluntary cut must not curtail their high priority water rights.

Southern California cities will likely provide money that could fund fallowing farmland in places like Imperial County and water managers are considering leaving water they’ve stored in Lake Mead as part of their contribution.

Arizona will probably be hit hard with reductions. The state over the past few years shouldered many of the cuts. With its growing population and robust agricultural industry, it has less wiggle room than its neighbors to take on more, said Arizona Department of Water Resources Director Tom Buschatzke. Some Native American tribes in Arizona have also

contributed to propping up Lake Mead in the past, and could play an outsized role in any new proposal.

Irrigators around Yuma, Arizona, have proposed taking 925,000 acre-feet less of Colorado River water in 2023 and leaving it in Lake Mead if they’re paid $1.4 billion, or $1,500 per acre-foot. The cost is far above the going rate, but irrigators defended their proposal as fair considering the cost to grow crops and get them to market.

Wade Noble, the coordinator for a coalition that represents Yuma water rights holders, said it was the only proposal put forth publicly that includes actual cuts, rather than theoretical cuts to what users are allocated on paper.

Some of the compensation-for-conservation funds could come from a $4 billion in drought funding included in the Inflation Reduction Act under consideration in Washington, U.S. Sen. Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona told the AP. Sinema acknowledged that paying farmers to conserve is not a long-term solution: “In the short-term, however, in order to meet our day-to-day needs and year-to-year needs, ensuring that we’re creating financial incentives for non-use will help us get through,” she said.

Babbitt agreed that money in the legislation will not “miraculously solve the problem” and said prices for water must be reasonable to avoid gouging because most water users will take be impacted.

“There’s no way that these cuts can all be paid for at a premium price for years and years,” he said.

No. 1 Alabama tops preseason AP Top 25; Ohio St, ‘Dawgs next

By Ralph D. Russo Associated Press

With two of the best players in the country leading the way — and a championship game loss as motivation — Alabama is No. 1 in The Associated Press preseason college football poll for the second straight season and ninth time overall.

Heisman Trophy winner Bryce Young, national defensive player of year Will Anderson Jr. and the Crimson Tide received 54 of 63 first-place votes and 1,566 points in the Top 25 presented by Regions Bank released on Monday.

Ohio State is No. 2 with six first-place votes (1,506 points) from the media panel and defending national champion Georgia is third with three first-place votes (1,455 points). Clemson is No. 4. Notre Dame rounds out the top five, setting up a tantalizing opener at Ohio State on Sept. 3.

The Tide’s preseason No. 1 ranking is the seventh in 15 years under coach Nick Saban. Since the preseason rankings started in 1950, only Oklahoma with 10 has been No. 1 in the initial poll more often than Alabama.

The Crimson Tide started last season No. 1 and finished ranked No. 2 after losing the national championship game to the Southeastern Conference rival Bulldogs.

Alabama coach Nick Saban recently called 2021 a rebuilding season for his Tide dynasty, which has won six national titles over the last 13 years. He has a point.

Young was in his first season as a starter last year, playing behind an inexperienced offensive line. He was unfazed, throwing for 4,872 yards and 47 touchdowns.

Anderson was a force on the other side ball as Alabama broke in a back seven with mostly new starters. The sophomore led

the nation in tackles for loss with 33 1/2, 11 1/2 more than No. 2 on the list.

Ohio State brings back a Heisman Trophy finalist at quarterback in C.J. Stroud while at Georgia, most of the key players from one of the best college defenses of the last 25 years are now in NFL. Still, quarterback Stetson Bennett and All-America tight end Brock Bowers return to a Bulldogs offense that could be even more explosive in 2022.

Texas A&M, which finished last season unranked despite handing Alabama its only regular-season loss, starts this season No. 6.

Defending Pac-12 champion Utah is seventh, the best preseason ranking in school history. Defending Big Ten champion Michigan is No. 8 after making the playoff for the first time last season.

No. 9 Oklahoma is the highest-ranked Big 12 school, one spot ahead of defending league champion Baylor.

DF-CD-NP-Q321

Alabama has been in the preseason top five in each of last 14 seasons and in the preseason top three in 13 straight. The Tide’s 31st preseason top-five ranking this year matches Ohio State for the most in poll history.

Turning preseason No. 1 into a national championship has proved tricky throughout history, even for Alabama.

The Crimson Tide has gone on to win the national championship after starting No. 1 just once under Saban and twice overall.

Since the AP preseason began in 1950, there have been 11 preseason No. 1 teams that also finished the season top ranked.

Alabama was the last to do it (2017).

RARITIES AND STREAKS

— No. 13 North Carolina State is ranked in the preseason for the first time since 2003. The Wolfpack matched their best preseason ranking. They were also 13th in 1975.

— No. 17 Pitt is in the preseason rankings for the first time since 2010.

— No. 20 Kentucky is making its first preseason poll appearance since 1978.

— No. 22 Wake Forest made the preseason rankings for the first time since 2008.

— Ohio State is ranked in the preseason for the 34th straight season, breaking a tie with Nebraska (1970-2002) and Penn State (1968-2000) for the longest such streak in poll history.

— Texas A&M has the second-best preseason ranking for a team that

finished the previous season unranked.

Ohio State was No. 3 in the 1972 preseason poll after being unranked at the end of the 1971 season and Notre Dame also started No. 6 in 1983 after finishing unranked in 1982.

How did the seasons work out of those teams? Ohio State went 9-2 and finished the season No. 9. The Irish went 7-5 and unranked again.

NOTABLE LEFTOUTS

— LSU with new coach Brian Kelly will start the season unranked for the first time 2000, Saban’s first of five seasons as coach of the Tigers.

— Florida and Florida State are both unranked to start the season, which has not happened since 1974.

NEWBIES

Five schools ranked in the preseason poll have head coaches starting their first full seasons leading their teams: Notre Dame (Marcus Freeman), Oklahoma (Brent Venables), No. 11 Oregon (Dan Lanning), No. 14 USC (Lincoln Riley) and No. 16 Miami (Mario Cristobal).

This is the second time in the last five seasons that five teams with new coaches were ranked in the preseason, according to research done by Sportradar.

It also happened in 2018, but before that season that type of representation in the preseason poll for teams with new coaches was a rarity.

You have to go all the way back to 1990 when six schools with coaches entering their first full season appeared in the preseason Top 25, according to Sportradar. That list includes some notable names: Gary Moeller, Michigan; Ken Hatfield, Clemson; Gene Stallings, Alabama; Jack Crowe, Arkansas; Paul Hackett, Pittsburgh; and John Jenkins, Houston.

CONFERENCE CALL

For the fourth straight season, the Southeastern Conference has three teams in the top six.

The Atlantic Coast Conference matched its best showing in the preseason poll with five teams. The ACC has reached that number four previous times.

SEC - 6 (Nos. 1, 3, 6, 19, 20, 21).

ACC - 5 (Nos. 4, 13, 16, 17, 22).

Big Ten - 4 (Nos. 2, 8, 15, 18).

Big 12 - 3 (Nos. 9, 10, 12).

Pac-12 - 3 (Nos. 7, 11, 14).

American - 2 (Nos. 23, 24).

Independents - 2 (Nos. 5, 25).

Strange Days

By Paula Hendrickson Contributor

I first started watching Days of Our Lives in grade school. I was home several days with the flu, our TV didn’t have a remote and I didn’t feel well enough to get up and cross the room to change the channel. I got hooked.

These days it’s more of a love-hate relationship.

(Ever notice that almost everyone either lives in a family mansion or the Salem Inn? And lately it seems John and Marlena’s condo is large enough to also house their adult children and still have space for Chad and his kids – who actually have a family mansion they could live in – plus occasional visitors like Sami.

I really wouldn’t want to be a Realtor in that town.)

Back to my point.

Days is one of only four daytime dramas remaining on TV, along with ABC’s

General Hospital and CBS’ The Young and the Restless and The Bold and the Beautiful, so it was shocking to learn NBC is moving Days to its Peacock streaming service starting September 12.

My first thought was, “What are they going to replace it with? Yet another hour of Today?” (For the record, a daily news hour is taking its place.)

My second was, “At least fans won’t have to worry about breaking news pre-empting the show.”

For those who already subscribe to the ad-supported Peacock Premium ($4.99/month) or the ad-free Peacock Premium+($9.99/month), it’s not a big deal. If you’re an Xfinity customer, chances are you already have access to the ad-free Peacock Premium service, which is included at no additional charge with most Xfinity cable and internet packages.

While early reports indicate that the entire Days’ library – spanning 57 years

– might also be available on Peacock Premium, most fans care more about current storylines.

Right now, you can stream Days on the free version of Peacock after the original broadcast date. I asked a Peacock publicist if that will continue once the show leaves NBC, but have yet to hear back. If you don’t have the premium version and aren’t sure you want to subscribe, consider waiting until mid-September to see if any of the new episodes are available (possibly for a limited time) on the free tier.

Was I thrilled to learn Days of Our Lives was being moved to Peacock? No. I think it’s asking a lot to expect fans to pay a monthly fee to watch a show they’ve actively supported for 57 years, especially when older fans might not be familiar with streaming, or might need to buy a device to keep watching their soap.

I’m also concerned about what it means for the daytime genre as a whole. Love ‘em

or hate ‘em, soap operas are a unique – and challenging – form of storytelling.

As hard as it is to write an engaging book, movie, or even five seasons of a TV series, spinning a tale over decades is a difficult task. Yet the writers, casts, and crews of Days of Our Lives, General Hospital, The Young and the Restless and The Bold and the Beautiful have been entertaining viewers for decades, and getting little credit for how hard they work to keep those worlds alive.

There are also a couple positives fans should consider: The show wasn’t cancelled. Episodes won’t be pre-empted by breaking news or live sports. No need to record it when you’re at work or school.

And you can catch up on past seasons.

Hopefully this new stage in Days of Our Lives’ long history will help it survive for decades yet to come. But it will all depend on how many fans follow the show to its new home.

Women’s Suffrage Plaza

Sippin’ With Suffragists on August 23 From Women’s Suffrage Centennial Committee If you have not yet visited the Rockford Women’s Suffrage Plaza, please treat yourself to a visit sometime soon. The Plaza is located on the east bank of the Rock River, at 200 Y Blvd. in Rockford, next door to the YMCA’s Log Lodge. You will see the beautiful three-sided tower

dedicated to women’s suffrage and civil rights, seated on a base of “foundational women” who helped shape our culture in many areas and disciplines. The tower is surrounded by six beautiful mosaic benches that celebrate Rockford locations.

This is a magnificent monument, the first in northern Illinois, that honors

women’s creativity and leadership in such a bold and outstanding way. Now that the Plaza is complete, we are very close to fully funding an endowment that will permanently oversee maintenance of this historic site.

To help with that final fundraising push, we invite you to attend a delightful event, “Sippin’ With Suffragists.” Please

spread the word and bring your friends.

You might even meet Jane Addams herself that night!

Proceeds will go towards the endowment for preservation of the Rockford Women’s Suffrage Plaza and educational materials .

To learn more about the plaza go to rockfordsuffrageplaza.com

Music

Rodney Atkins to open for Justin Moore From Rockford Rivets Rodney Atkins will be performing at Rivets Stadium on Lonnie’s Field Saturday, September 3 at 6:00 PM opening for Justin Moore. Joining him will be Lucas Hoge. Tickets are currently on sale and can be purchased online at: www.rockfordrivets.com. Ticket prices start at $35; Center Stage Tickets are $69; a limited number of VIP tickets are available at $89.

With eight Top 5 singles, six No. 1s, and 1 Billion career on-demand streams under his belt, Atkins is one of Country music’s most prominent artists. Continuing to

be recognized as a powerful voice on Country radio, his Platinum-selling No. 1 “Watching You” earned the songwriter a BMI “Million-Air” award and the top spot on Country Aircheck’s top-played songs of the decade list. Atkins was the second most-played male artist of the decade overall. He has also sold over 14 million units and earned twelve career Gold, Platinum and Multi-Platinum RIAA certifications to date, including his latest single “Caught Up In The Country (feat.

The Jubilee Singers),” which also set the record for the longest-running single

in Billboard Country Airplay history at 57 weeks.

Some people are just born communicators and Lucas Hoge has that gift. Fans know this because Hoge’s new album Dirty South ascended to the No. 1 spot on the Billboard Country Album Sales chart during its debut week. Whether he’s performing for troops overseas, sharing his love for the great outdoors with fellow sportsmen at an outdoor gathering or writing another song for a hit TV show, Hoge has that rare ability to find common ground with just about anyone and draw

them into his world. Hoge’s creative universe has long revolved around music, and his latest offering DIRTY SOUTH, showcases a songwriter of considerable depth and a singer with an enviable skill for interpreting a lyric. “I try to either find songs or write songs that I think are going to stand the test of time and really connect with the listener,” Hoge says. “I want every album to be an audio novel that people can listen to from top to bottom that takes them on a journey.

I want songs that you can sink your teeth into and actually carry with you.”

Growing and Harvesting Okra

BY GRANT MCCARTY CONTRIBUTOR

Okra isn’t commonly grown in the Midwestern vegetable garden. It’s more common in southern US gardens. Yet, this summer you may have decided to grow okra for the first time and might be dealing with some unique features of this crop along with some uncertainty of when to harvest your pods.

Okra is in the Malvaceous plant family.

Other agricultural members include cotton and cacao though suspect you’ve probably not grown those before. The Malvaceous plant family members you’ve probably grown or are familiar with are hibiscus and hollyhock. The okra plant

then does have similar growth characteristics as other plant family members with a single stalk, large leaves, and hibiscus shaped flowers. Each flower when pollinate will produce an okra pod.

While fairly easy to grow, summer insect pests do like okra. Japanese beetles can thrive and defoliate the okra plant.

Pods may also be deformed due to the Brown Marmorated Stinkbug which can cause your okra pods to be misshapen and twisted. You may see that as you harvest your pods.

One of the main tips that okra enthusiasts will share with new okra growers is when to harvest okra. The pods should be harvested when they are 2-3 inches

in length. Bigger than this and you will find that the pods are woody and not as tender as they could be. The pods should be a very vibrant color, either green or purple depending on the variety you are growing. Pale colored pods, even if small, can be woody. Pods form quickly during the peak of summer and you should look to harvest every 2-3 days.

Pods should be cut using pruners from the main stalk, living a bit of a tip to the pod. You might also consider wearing gloves and long sleeves as the okra leaves and pods have very fine hairs that may cause some irritation to your skin.

Pods should not be washed immediately unless you plan to cook with them that

day. If pods stay wet, they will potentially begin to mold and develop a slimy, outer coating. You are better o� washing the pods closer to when you plan to cook with them.

Once you’ve got your pods and decided on your recipe, consider how you cut the pods. Mucilaginous “goo”/”slime” is released as soon as you cut into a pod and smaller pieces can produce more mucilage in the recipe you are cooking. This is one of the reasons many do not like okra. Work with speed and make bigger cuts so as to reduce the mucilage.

ENERGY & ENVIRONMENT

Impacts of the Inflation Reduction Act

BY DRS. ROBERT & SONIA VOGL

ILLINOIS RENEWABLE ENERGY ASSOCIATION CONTRIBUTORS

It has taken over a century for Congress to act on the concern expressed by Swedish chemist Savante Arrhenius that greenhouse gas emissions released by burning fossil fuels could increase the earth’s temperature. We have followed the carbon emissions issue since the 1960s and felt encouraged that appropriate action would follow when in 1988 climate scientist James Hansen testified to Congress that global warming had already begun. After a long struggle contending with climate denial, in 2022 Congress finally passed the Inflation Reduction Act, part of which addresses climate change. It is seen as a step in the right direction but falls far short of what is needed.

The Act addresses climate, health care and corporate taxes. The climate and energy components of the legislation are seen as the big winners as roughly $400 billion of the $739 billion in the act are pledged to fight climate change. The IRA is expected to stimulate another $600 billion of private spending on climate

bringing the total expenditure to $100 billion per year for 10 years.

Included in the legislation is financial support for energy e�ciency and clean energy investments along with loan guarantees for such investments. There are incentives for consumers purchasing electric vehicles, electric heat pumps, solar panels and battery storage systems and a national green bank underwritten by the Federal government.

There is $3 billion in loans and grants to support construction of new power lines to carry electricity to power cities.

While the legislation includes provisions to make it easier to secure approval of the clean energy infrastructure local opposition exists to wind and solar farms and transmission lines over environmental concerns, loss of farmland, property values, and aesthetics.

With a 50-50 partisan split in the Senate, passing the act required the support of two Democratic swing votes, one being Joe Manchin who would only support the act if Democrats supported the construction of a 300 mile gas pipeline through West Virginia and Virginia. The pipeline is a long-term investment and

undercuts the goal of cutting carbon emissions unless carbon capture technologies are deployed as part of the e�ort.

Captured carbon emissions are transported via pipelines to underground storage sites for permanent storage. In an interview in Truthout, Robert Pollin expressed the concern that in general carbon capture technologies have yet to establish that they can work on a commercial scale. The possibility exists that carbon leakages could occur in the transportation and storage systems.

There are several major programs within the legislation that do not have specified mandates. Pollin expressed concern that their funds might be diverted into carbon capture projects.

The second Democratic swing vote belonged to Arizona Senator Kyrsten Sinema, who helped secure $4 billion in drought relief for the Colorado River Basin. The funds might be used to pay farmers to leave land fallow in parts of California and Arizona if massive cuts in Colorado River Basin waters become necessary.

There are other beneficial provisions in the act including $2.6 billion for

conservation, restoration and protection of coastal and marine habitats. Another $3 billion is available to address pollution in communities where people of color are disproportionately harmed by bad air quality. There is $5 billion focused on forests and wildlife restoration with $1.8 billion set aside for the Forest Service.

The oil and gas industry benefits from the opportunity to secure drilling leases in the Gulf of Mexico and the Alaskan Cook Inlet. The industry will be rewarded if it address methane leaks in their operations and fined if they do not. An attempt by Bernie Sanders to strip out the giveaways to fossil fuel interests was defeated. But he supported the act as an important step forward.

Support for nuclear energy and hydrogen were included in the legislation.

Consider ing t he c losely div ided Congress it is surprising the legislation was passed by both the Senate and the House. There were some minor changes in its passage in the House that are not reflected in this article. The Act awaits the President’s signature.

They’ll say you must prioritize responsi­ bilities over fun. You’ll find peace of mind for a celebration.
