Analysis: Notes and quotes from Illinois State Fair political days 2022 hopefuls come out in force for one of state’s biggest campaign stages

SPRINGFIELD – Along with fried foods, carnival rides and an 800-pound cow made of butter, the Illinois State Fair is known for its political theater.

For the Statehouse press corps, it means we clear our schedules for at least two days in mid-August each year to take in the candidate stump speeches, hand shaking and one-liners.

On that last front, the quips ranged from the knee-slapper to the brow-raiser.

One comment that falls into the latter category came from Republican attorney general candidate Thomas DeVore, the lawyer who gained statewide notoriety by suing Gov. JB Pritzker to challenge his executive order authority during the COVID-19 pandemic.

During his stump speech at Republican Day Thursday, DeVore took aim at Cook County State’s Attorney Kim Foxx, a favorite target of many on the Republican ticket for her prosecutorial leniency in certain circumstances.

“You make me attorney general, and if Kim Foxx won’t prosecute ‘em, I will,” DeVore told the crowd. “And she better get to prosecuting or we’ll figure out a way to prosecute her.”

It’s the type of comment Democratic Attorney General Kwame Raoul alluded to when he contended the AG’s race “matters more than any time in American history.”

Crime was also on gubernatorial candidate Darren Bailey’s mind when the downstate farmer said for at least the third time in recent months that he believes Chicago is a “hellhole.”

He doubled down when asked by reporters if he thinks most Chicagoans believe the same.

“Actually, I believe they do,” he said.

“Because it’s insane. But it’s going to change.”

Pritzker, meanwhile, characterized the Bailey-led GOP as having been taken over by the “lunatic fringe.”

“They’ll say anything, do anything, destroy anything to get elected,” Pritzker said in his Dem Day speech Wednesday.

While Bailey also criticized Pritzker’s “soft hands” as compared to his workworn “hands of a farmer” in a compelling contrast, the hellhole comment is the type of messaging that has made many

in the GOP hesitant to even mention Bailey’s name.

House Minority Leader Jim Durkin, of Western Springs, told members of the media he’d support the Republican ticket but wouldn’t go as far as name-dropping Bailey for an endorsement.

Durk in said he’s opt imist ic t he record-high 106 Republican candidates for the state House can make a dent in Democratic supermajorities, especially if candidates focus on economic conditions.

“The cost of living, inflation,” he told me in an interview. “Those are the things on people’s minds, and they’ve had enough.”

Durkin also had one of the more memorable one-liners in characterizing the Democratic festivities at the Bank of Springfield Center, sometimes referred to by its initials, BOS. “The only thing they should have done is removed the ‘O’ from the BOS because it was more of a BS center, because I could smell it all the way on I-55 when I was driving into town,” he said.

While Durkin used the phrase “limousine liberals” to describe the majority party, “Democrats deliver” was the tagline put forth by the opposite side as they spoke of climate legislation, minimum wage increases, a tax relief plan and other legislative accomplishments.

Senate Majority Leader Don Harmon, of Oak Park, contrasted the two parties with alliteration as well.

“It has become clear to anyone paying any attention to Washington or Springfield that there’s a party that whines and there’s a party that works,” he said. “Our party, the Democratic Party, is the party that works.”

For Emanuel “Chris” Welch, the state’s House speaker from Hillside, the rallying cry was “we won’t go back,” as he alluded heavily to the tumultuous tenure of Republican ex-Gov. Bruce Rauner, of Evanston.

Of the 106 GOP candidates for the House, Welch said, many of them were recruited by “Bruce Rauner’s buddies,” the Illinois Policy Institute think tank.

Comptroller Susana Mendoza went back to the Rauner well as well, reminiscing of her days as a foil to the impasse-allowing ex-governor who was in power as the state’s bill backlog rose to about $16 billion. Bills due now number about $2.2 billion, which means they’re paid within a few weeks of being received by the comptroller.

“That guy earned eight consecutive credit downgrades during the best

economic bull market in our lifetime,” she said. “It is hard to be that bad.”

While Mendoza pointed out Illinois has had six credit upgrades in Pritzker’s term, her opponent, McHenry County Auditor Shannon Teresi, focused on some of Mendoza’s political ties.

“She got her career start in Danny Solis’ ward organization. He has been indicted,” Teresi said. “She got married in Ed Burke’s home by Ed Burke’s wife (Supreme Court Justice Anne M. Burke), and Ed Burke has been indicted. She gave the nominating speech for Mike Madigan to become Speaker of the House and he is indicted.”

Bloomington GOP Rep. Dan Brady, meanwhile, had a strong one-liner of his own when he promised to make his speech “as short as the lines will be in driver services facilities when I’m elected secretary of state.”

The assistant minority leader in the General Assembly also gleefully told reporters he had shown his line-shortening savvy at the GOP Day picnic, separating the long free BBQ line into two.

“On day one, we make sure we start cutting those lines just like we moved people through two lines here for lunch at the Republican picnic today,” he said.

“And I’m not even secretary of state yet.”

Brady’s Democratic opponent in the race to replace retiring SOS Jesse White – a man praised by both candidates – is Alexi Giannoulias, the state’s former treasurer. He sought to tie Brady to the top of the GOP ticket and former President Donald Trump.

“Make no mistake, Darren Bailey, Dan Brady and others are part of Donald Trump’s new Republican Party,” Giannoulias said. “The same party that wants to eliminate abortion rights, put assault weapons on the streets, undermined our elections and restrict who can cast a ballot.”

Brady said he voted for Trump in 2020, but the only people who ask him about that are in the news media. The public would rather focus on cutting down wait times and improving driver services, he said.

“That’s what I’m talking about, and that’s what people are talking to me about,” he said.”

WARSAW, Poland (AP) — On March 8, nearly two weeks after Russia invaded Ukraine, Taisiia Mokrozub took her infant son, parted from her husband and joined an exodus to safety in Poland. She believed the war would end quickly and she would be home by May. But a half-year later, with shelling near a nuclear power plant in her hometown of Zaporizhzhia, and the front line so close, the 36-year-old’s husband is telling her to stay in Poland with their now-11month-old baby. She now dreams of being home by winter, hoping Ukraine will have prevailed by then against Russia’s onslaught.

As the war reaches the sixth-month mark Wednesday, hundreds of thousands of refugees have returned to Ukraine already. But others are facing the sad realization that they will not be going home soon, if they have homes to return to at all. With missiles falling even far from the front line, many wouldn’t feel safe yet, even in areas under Ukrainian control.

So they are biding their time, waiting for the end of a war that shows no signs of ending soon, longing for home and refusing to think too far into the future.

With a new academic year starting, some are reluctantly enrolling their children in schools abroad, worried they will fall behind. Others take jobs below their skill levels. With most refugees being women, those with very young children, like Mokrozub, are often unable to work.

“It seems to me that not only for me but for all Ukrainians, time has stopped,” Mokrozub said. “We all live in some kind of limbo.”

Russia’s invasion has created the largest refugee crisis in Europe since World War II. The UN refugee agency says a third of Ukrainians have fled their homes, with more than 6.6 million displaced within the country and over 6.6 million more across the continent.

European countries have welcomed them without the political backlash that met influxes of refugees from the Middle East and Africa in past years, however.

Pol a n d h a s t a k e n i n t h e m o s t Uk rainians, with an estimated 1.5 million having registered for national ID numbers that allow them social benefits.

Germany, which doesn’t require visas for Ukrainians, has registered more than 900,000, though it isn’t clear how many of those may have gone home or headed elsewhere.

Warsaw now has 180,000 Ukrainian refugees — representing a tenth of the Polish capital’s population of 1.8 million — the largest single grouping anywhere.

Though Ukrainian and Russian — which is also commonly spoken back home — are heard on the city’s streets and grocery stores now carry some Ukrainian foods, the newcomers have integrated with little trouble and seem almost invisible.

For many of the refugees, Poland’s Slavic language and culture offer something familiar and reassuring. The country’s proximity to Ukraine makes it possible to travel back for short visits with husbands and fathers who are banned from leaving due to the war effort.

“We didn’t want to go farther,” said Galina Inyutina, 42, who arrived in Poland in early March from Dnipro with her 11-year-old son. They long terribly for their forests and fields and food.

“Mom, if we go farther away then it will take us longer to get home,” he told her.

The arrival of so many people has exacerbated a preexisting housing crisis in Warsaw, where rental prices have surged 30% over the last year, as well as other cities that have attracted large numbers of refugees.

In the early days of the war, hundreds of thousands of Polish families took Ukrainians, often total strangers, into their homes. Thanks to that hospitality, there was never a need for refugee camps, said Oksana Pestrykova, who administers a consultation center at the Ukrainian House in Warsaw, a social center for immigrants.

But what were expected to be short stays have turned into long ones, and some Poles are now calling the center’s hotline to ask for help from Ukrainian speakers to tell their guests it’s time to move on.

“The hospitality is getting weaker,” Pestrykova said. “We understand it and we were expecting it.”

Some corporations are stepping in to help.

The global tech company Siemens transformed office space at its Polish headquarters to create hotel-st yle accommodations for nearly 160 people, administered by the Warsaw city government. The facility is clean, with food and laundry facilities provided for free.

Among those living there now is Ludmila Fedotova, a 52-year-old shop assistant from Zaporizhzhia. She is terrified about what is happening back home but can at least relax knowing she has housing and food as she looks for work.

While there might not be enough housing for all the newcomers, there are more than enough jobs in an economy that has boomed in the post-communist era. Ukrainian immigrants who came to Poland in recent years are sometimes the ones helping the new arrivals with work and a place to live.

Oleh Yarovyi, from Khmelnytskyi in western Ukraine, arrived six years ago and has built up a coffee shop franchise with his wife. As they expand, he has lost some Ukrainian men helping with construction who returned to fight in the war, but he has been able to hire Ukrainian women who can use their language in a job they hope is temporary.

“Half of them plan to go back, so they don’t even try to learn Polish,” Yarovyi said. “They just look for a simple job without any additional challenges.”

Tetiana Bilous, 46, who ran a shortterm apartment rental business in Vinnytsia, Ukraine, is among those working in one of Yarovyi’s kitchens.

She fled two days into the war, joining a grown daughter already in Warsaw. She missed her husband and returned home for a two-week visit, but was terrified by the bombardments and air raid sirens.

Bilous remains torn over what her next steps should be, saying, “Everything is uncertain.”

Farther west, in Schwerin, Germany, Marina Galla, a computer science teacher who left Mariupol with her 13-year-old son in late March, has found relief and stability. Last month they moved into a small rooftop apartment after a long escape that took them through Poland and Berlin.

She is free from the horrors and the deprivation from which she fled: the bodies in the streets, drinking melted snow because there was no running water. Yet she feels crushed with sadness thinking of family left behind.

In a black backpack she has carried every day since leaving Mariupol, Galla keeps a handwritten note in a side pocket listing contact information for her mother, father and grandmother.

She originally wrote it in case she was killed in the war, and even in the safety of Schwerin, she doesn’t leave home without it.

Her son messaged a lot with his friends from back home during their first months in Germany, but he barely talks to them anymore and has stopped asking her when they will return to Ukraine.

“He probably understands,” Galla said, “that we will not be able to go back there.”

INFLATION

As inflation soars, access to Indigenous foods declines ASSOCIATED PRESS/REPORT FOR AMERICA

Sioux Chef company and executive director of a Minneapolis Indigenous food nonprofit, is another Native businesswoman striving to expand her urban community’s access to traditional local foods like lake fish, wild rice and wild greens amid the food price surge.

Thompson, of the Sisseton Wahpeton Oyate and Mdewakanton Dakota people, said inflation is “really impacting the food systems we have here,” which include dozens of Indigenous, local and organic food producers.

At O w a m n i, a n aw a rd-w i n n i ng Indigenous restaurant under The Sioux Chef umbrella, ingredients like Labrador Tea – which grows wild in northern Minnesota – have been especially di�cult to get this year, Thompson said.

When an ingredient is not consistently available or a�ordable, she changes the menu.

“Being fluid and resilient is what we’re used to,” Thompson said. “That’s like the history of indigeneity in North America.”

Inflation is similarly impeding the American Indian Center of Chicago’s e�orts to improve food security. Executive Director Melodi Serna, of the Turtle Mountain Band of Chippewa Indians and the Oneida Nation of Wisconsin, said the current prices of food boxes they distribute – with traditional Midwestern foods like fish, bison, venison, dairy products and produce – are “astronomical.”

“Where I could have been able to

CHICAGO (AP) — Blueberry bison tamales, harvest salad with mixed greens, creamy carrot and wild rice soup, roasted turkey with squash. This contemporary Native American meal, crafted from the traditional foods of tribes across the United States and prepared with “Ketapanen” – a Menominee expression of love – cost caterer Jessica Pamonicutt $976 to feed a group of 50 people last November.

Today it costs her nearly double.

Pamonicutt is the executive chef of Chicago-based Native American catering business Ketapanen Kitchen. She is a citizen of the Menominee Indian Tribe of Wisconsin but was raised in the Windy City, home to one of the largest urban Native populations in the country, according to the American Indian Center of Chicago.

Her business aims to o�er health-conscious meals featuring Indigenous ingredients to the Chicago Native community and educate people about Indigenous contributions to everyday American fare.

One day, she aims to purchase all ingredients from Native suppliers and provide her community with a�ordable access to healthy Indigenous foods, “but this whole inflation thing has slowed that down,” she said.

U.S. inflation surged to a new four-decade high in June, squeezing household budgets with painfully high prices for gas, food and rent.

Traditional Indigenous foods — like wild rice, bison, fresh vegetables and fruit in the Midwest — are often unavailable or too expensive for Native families in urban areas like Chicago, and the recent inflation spike has propelled these foods even further out of reach.

Risk of disease compounds the problem: healthy eating is key to battling diabetes, which a�icts Native Americans at the highest rate of any ethnic group in the United States.

“There are many benefits to eating traditional Native foods,” said Jessica Thurin, a dietician at Native American Community Clinic in Minneapolis. “The body knows exactly how to process and use that food. These foods are natural to the Earth.”

But many people the clinic serves are low-income and do not have the luxury of choosing where their food comes from.

Food deserts – areas with limited access to a variety of healthy and a�ordable foods – are more likely to exist in places

with higher rates of poverty and concentrations of minority populations.

“In these situations, there are limited healthy food options, not to mention limited traditional food options,” Thurin said.

Aside from health benefits, traditional foods hold important cultural and emotional value.

“It’s just comfort,” said Danielle Lucas, a 39-year-old descendant of the Sicangu Lakota people from the Rosebud Sioux Tribe in South Dakota.

Lucas’ mother, Evelyn Red Lodge, said she hasn’t prepared traditional dishes of the Great Plains, like wojapi berry sauce or stew, since May because the prices of key ingredients – berries and meat – have soared.

Pamonicutt, too, is feeling the pinch.

Between last winter and this spring, the price of bison jumped from $13.99 to $23.99 per pound.

Shipping costs are so high that the chef said it’s often cheaper to drive hundreds of miles to buy ingredients, even with spiking gas prices. She’s even had to create her own suppliers: the 45-yearold’s parents are now growing crops for her business on their Wisconsin property near the Illinois border.

Gina Roxas, program coordinator at Trickster Cultural Center in Schaumburg, Illinois, a Chicago suburb, has also agreed to grow Native foods to help the chef minimize costs.

When a bag of wild rice costs $20, “you end up going to a fast food place instead to feed your family,” Roxas said.

More than 70% of Native Americans reside in urban areas – the result of decades of federal policies pushing families to leave reservations and assimilate into American society.

Dorene Wiese, executive director of the Chicago-based American Indian Association of Illinois, said members of her community have to prioritize making rent payments over splurging on healthy, traditional foods.

Even though specialty chefs like Pamonicutt aim to feed their own communities, the cost of her premium catering service is out of the price range for many urban Natives. Her meals end up feeding majority non-Native audiences at museums or cultural events that can foot the bill, said Wiese, a citizen of the Minnesota White Earth Band of Ojibwe Indians.

“There really is a shortage of Native foods in the area,” she said, But the problem isn’t unique to Chicago.

provide maybe 100 boxes, now we’re only able to provide 50,” Serna said.

For 57-year-old Emmie King, a Chicago resident and citizen of the Navajo Nation, getting the fresh ingredients she grew up with in New Mexico is much more di�cult in the city, especially with inflation biting into her budget.

She finds ways to “stretch” the food she buys so it lasts longer, purchasing meat in bulk and freezing small portions to add to stews later on. “I get what I need, rather than what I want,” she said.

But King was able to enjoy a taste of home at an Aug. 3 luncheon at the American Indian Center of Chicago, where twenty elders gathered to enjoy turkey tamales with cranberry-infused masa, Spanish rice with quinoa, elote pasta salad with chickpea noodles and glasses of cold lemonade.

The mastermind behind the meal was Pamonicutt herself, sharing her spin on Southwestern and Northern Indigeneous food traditions. Through volunteering at senior lunches and developing a food education program, the chef is continuing to increase access to healthy Indigenous foods in her community.

“I want kids to learn where these foods come from,” the chef said. “That whole act of caring for your food … thanking it, understanding that it was grown to help us survive.”

Trump

Trump’s turbulent White House years culminate in Fla. search

By Jill Colvin and Michael Balsamo Associated Press

NEW YORK (AP) — Mounds of paper piled on his desk. Framed magazine covers and keepsakes lining the walls. One of Shaquille O’Neal’s giant sneakers displayed alongside football helmets, boxing belts and other sports memorabilia, crowding his Trump Tower office and limiting table space.

Well before he entered politics, former President Donald Trump had a penchant for collecting. And that lifelong habit — combined with his flip disregard for the rules of government record keeping, his careless handling of classified information, and a chaotic transition born from his refusal to accept defeat in 2020 — have all culminated in a federal investigation that poses extraordinary legal and political challenges.

The search of Trump’s Mar-a-Lago club earlier this month to retrieve documents from his White House years was an unprecedented law enforcement action against a former president who is widely expected to run for office once again. Officials have not revealed exactly what was contained in the boxes, but the FBI has said it recovered 11 sets of classified records, including some marked “sensitive compartmented information,” a special category meant to protect secrets that could cause “exceptionally grave” damage to U.S. interests if revealed publicly.

Why Trump refused to turn over the seized documents despite repeated requests remains unclear. But Trump’s flouting of the Presidential Records Act, which outlines how materials should be preserved, was well documented throughout his time in office.

He routinely tore up official papers that later had to be taped back together. Official items that would traditionally be turned over to the National Archives became intermingled with his personal belongings in the White House residence. Classified information was tweeted, shared with reporters and adversaries — even found in a White House complex bathroom.

John Bolton, who served as Trump’s third national security adviser, said that, before he arrived, he’d heard “there was a concern in the air about how he handled information. And as my time went on, I could certainly see why.”

Others in the Trump administration took more care with sensitive documents. Asked directly if he kept any classified information upon leaving office, former Vice President Mike Pence told The Associated Press on Friday, “No, not to my knowledge.”

The investigation into Trump’s handling of documents comes as he’s facing mount-

ing legal scrutiny on multiple fronts. A Georgia investigation into election interference has moved closer to the former president, with former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, a top defender, informed earlier this month that he is a target of a criminal probe.

Meanwhile, Trump invoked his Fifth Amendment protection against self-incrimination as he testified under oath in the New York attorney general’s long-running civil investigation into his business dealings. A top executive at the business pleaded guilty last week in a tax fraud case brought by the Manhattan district attorney.

But few legal threats have galvanized Trump and his most loyal supporters like the Mar-a-Lago search. The former president and his allies have argued the move amounts to political persecution, noting the judge who approved the warrant has given money to Democrats. The judge, however, has also supported Republicans.

And White House officials have repeatedly said they had no prior knowledge of plans to search the estate.

Trump allies have tried to claim the presidency granted him unlimited power to unilaterally declassify documents without formal declaration. But David Laufman, the former chief of the Justice Department’s counterintelligence section, said that’s not how it works.

“It just strikes me as a post hoc public affairs strategy that has no relationship to how classified information is in fact declassified,” said Laufman, who oversaw the investigation into Hillary Clinton’s personal email server during her tenure as secretary of state. While he said it is true that there is no statute or order that outlines procedures the president must abide by to declassify information, “at the same time it’s ludicrous to posit that a decision to declassify documents would not have been contemporaneously memorialized in writing.”

It’s “not self executing,” he added.

“There has to be some objective, contemporaneous, evidence-based corroboration of the claims that they’re making. And of course there won’t be because they’re making it all up.”

The decision to keep classified documents at Mar-a-Lago — a property frequented by paying members, their guests and anyone attending the weddings, political fundraisers, charity dinners and other events held on site — was part of a long pattern of disregard for national security secrets. Former aides described a “cavalier” attitude toward classified information that played out in public view.

There was the dinner with then-Jap-

anese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe on Mar-a-Lago’s patio, where fellow diners watched and snapped cellphone photos as the two men reviewed details of a North Korean missile test.

There was the time Trump revealed highly classified information allegedly from Israeli sources about Islamic State militants to Russian officials. And there was the time he tweeted a high-resolution satellite image of an apparent explosion at an Iranian space center, which intelligence officials had warned was highly sensitive.

Trump insisted he had “the absolute right” to share it.

Former White House press secretary Stephanie Grisham said Trump was “careless” with sensitive and classified information and “seemed never to bother with why that was bad.”

Grisham recalled one incident involving Conan, a U.S. military dog hailed as a hero for his role in the raid that killed Islamic State leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi. She said that before the dog’s arrival at the White House, staff had received a briefing in which they were told the dog could not be photographed because the images could put his handlers in danger. But when the dog arrived, Trump decided he wanted to show it off to the press.

“Because he wanted the publicity, out went Conan,” she said. “It’s an example of him not caring if he put lives in danger. ... It was like its his own shiny toy he’s showing off to his friends to impress them.”

Bolton said that, during his time working for Trump, he and others often tried to explain the stakes and the risks of exposing sources and methods.

“I don’t think any of it sank in. He didn’t seem to appreciate just how sensitive it was, how dangerous it was for some of our people and the risks that they could be exposed to,” he said. “What looks like an innocuous picture to a private citizen can be a gold mine to a foreign intelligence” entity.

“I would say over and over again, ‘This is really sensitive, really sensitive.’ And he’d say, ‘I know’ and then go and do it anyway.”

Bolton said that top intelligence officials would gather before briefings to discuss how best to handle sensitive subjects, strategizing about how much needed to be shared. Briefers quickly learned that Trump often tried to hang onto sensitive documents, and would take steps to make sure documents didn’t go missing, including using iPads to show them to him.

“Sometimes he would ask to keep it and they’d say, ‘It’s really sensitive.’ Sometime he just wouldn’t give it back.”

Trump’s refusal to accept his election loss also contributed to the chaos that

engulfed his final days in office. The General Services Administration was slow to acknowledge President Joe Biden’s win, delaying the transition process and leaving little time to pack.

While other White House staff and even the former first lady started making arrangements, Trump largely refused. At the same time, White House staff were departing in droves as part of the regular “offboarding process,” while morale among others had cratered in the aftermath of the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol.

Bolton said he doubted that Trump had taken documents for nefarious reasons, and instead thought Trump likely considered them “souvenirs” like the many he’d collected through his life.

“I think he just thought some things were cool and he wanted them,” Bolton said.

“Some days he liked to collect french fries.

Some days he liked to collect documents.

He just collected things.”

The Washington Post first reported in February that the National Archives had retrieved 15 boxes of documents and other items from Mar-a-Lago that should have been turned over to the agency when Trump left the White House. An initial review of that material concluded that Trump had brought presidential records and several other documents that were marked classified to Mar-a-Lago.

The investigation into the handling of classified material intensified in the spring as prosecutors and federal agents interviewed several people who worked in the Trump White House about how records — and particularly classified documents — were handled during the chaotic end of the Trump presidency, a person familiar with the matter told The Associated Press.

Around the same time, prosecutors also issued a subpoena for records Trump was keeping at Mar-a-Lago and subpoenaed for surveillance video from Mar-a-Lago showing the area where the records were being stored, the person said.

A top Justice Department official traveled to Mar-a-Lago in early June and looked through some of the material that was stored in boxes. After that meeting, prosecutors interviewed another witness who told them that there were likely additional classified documents still stored at Mar-aLago, the person said. The person was not authorized to discuss the matter publicly and spoke on condition of anonymity.

The Justice Department later sought a search warrant and retrieved the additional tranches of classified records.

Back to School

Back to school, with panic buttons: The post-Uvalde scramble

By Heather Hollingsworth

Associated Press/Report for America

MISSION, Kan. (AP) — Melissa Lee comforted her son and daughter after a student opened fire in their suburban Kansas City high school, wounding an administrator and a police officer stationed there.

Then weeks later, she wept for the parents in Uvalde, Texas, who were forced to bury their children after the massacre there in May. She said she was “absolutely” reassured when she learned her district had since purchased one of the panic-alert systems gaining traction nationwide amid a surge in school violence that includes shootings and fights. The technology, featuring wearable panic buttons or mobile phone apps, enables teachers to notify each other and police in the event of an emergency.

“Time is of the essence,” said Lee, whose son helped barricade a classroom door and watched police enter his school with guns drawn. “They can hit a button and, OK, we know something’s wrong, you know, really wrong. And then it puts everybody else on high alert.”

Multiple states now mandate or encourage the buttons, and a growing number of districts are shelling out tens of thousands of dollars per school for them — part of a widespread scramble to beef up school security and prevent the next tragedy. The spending spree includes metal detectors, security cameras, vehicle barriers, alarm systems, clear backpacks, bullet-resistant glass and door-locking systems.

Critics say school officials are scrambling to show action — any action — to worried parents ahead of the new school year, but in their haste may be emphasizing the wrong things. It’s “security theater,” said Ken Trump, president of the National School Safety and Security Services. Instead, he said, schools should focus on making sure teachers are implementing basic safety protocols such as ensuring doors aren’t propped open.

The attack in Uvalde illustrated the shortcomings of panic-alert systems.

Robb Elementary School had implemented an alert app, and when an attacker approached the school, a school employee did send a lockdown alert. But not all teachers received it because of poor Wi-Fi or phones that were turned off or in a drawer, according to an investigation by the Texas Legislature. And those who did may not have taken it seriously, the Legislature’s report said: The school sent out frequent alerts related to Border

Patrol car chases in the area.

“People want visible, tangible things,” Trump said. “It’s a lot harder to point to the value of training your staff. Those are intangibles. Those are things that are less visible and invisible, but they’re most effective.”

In suburban Kansas City, the decision to spend $2.1 million over five years for a system called CrisisAlert “isn’t a kneejerk reaction,” said Brent Kiger, Olathe Public Schools’ director of safety services.

He said he had been eying the system even before gunfire erupted in an Olathe high school in March as staff confronted an 18-year-old over rumors that he had a gun in his backpack.

“It helped us kind of evaluate it and look at it through a lens of: ‘We’ve been through this critical incident, and how would it have helped us?’ And it would have helped us that day,” he said. “There’s just no question about that.”

The system, a different one than what Uvalde relied on, allows staff to trigger a lockdown that will be announced with flashing strobe lights, a takeover of staff computers and a prerecorded intercom announcement. Teachers can set off the alarms by pushing a button on a wearable badge at least eight times. Staff also can summon help to break up a hallway fight or to deal with a medical emergency if they push the button three times.

Demand for CrisisAlert had been growing even before Uvalde, with revenue from new contracts increasing 270% from the first quarter of 2021 to the first quarter of 2022, the product’s maker, Centegix, said in a statement.

Arkansas was an early adopter of panic buttons, announcing in 2015 that more than 1,000 schools would be equipped with a smartphone app that connects users quickly with 911. At the time, education officials said the plan was the most comprehensive in the nation.

But the idea really gained steam after the 2018 mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida.

Lori Alhadeff, whose 14-year-old daughter, Alyssa, was among the 17 killed, founded the group Make Our Schools Safe and began advocating for panic buttons.

She had texted her daughter as shots rang out that help was on the way.

“But in reality, there was no panic button. There was no immediate way to contact law enforcement or emergency services to get on site as soon as possible,” said Lori Kitaygorodsky, the group’s spokeswoman. “We always kind of go by

the thinking that time equals life.”

Lawmakers in Florida and New Jersey responded by passing Alyssa’s Law, requiring schools to begin using panic alarms. District of Columbia schools also added panic-button technology.

Following Uvalde, New York Gov. Kathy Hochul signed a new bill into law that requires school districts to consider installing silent panic alarms.

And Oklahoma Gov. Kevin Stitt issued an executive order, calling on all schools to implement panic buttons if not already in use. The state previously provided money for schools to subscribe to an app.

Over the years, legislation also has been introduced in Nebraska, Texas, Arizona and Virginia, according to Make Our Schools Safe.

Las Vegas schools also decided to add panic buttons this year to deal with a wave of violence. Data show the district recorded 2,377 assaults and batteries from August 2021 through the end of May, including an after-school attack that left a teacher injured and unconscious in her classroom. Other districts adding panic buttons for back-to-school include Madison County Schools in North Carolina, which also are putting AR-15 rifles in every school, and the Houston County School District in Georgia.

Walter Stephens, the executive director of school operations in the 30,000-student Houston County district, said the district piloted the panic button technology last year in three schools before signing a $1.7 million, five-year contract to make it available in all its buildings.

Like most schools, the district reas-

sessed its safety protocols after the tragedy in Uvalde. But the Texas shooting didn’t provide the impetus to add the panic buttons, Stephens insisted. If students don’t feel safe, he said, “that translates to them not performing well in our schools.”

Whether the buttons deliver as promised is something experts are monitoring.

In places like Florida, a panic button app has proven unpopular with teachers. And what happens, asked Mo Canady, executive director of the National Association of School Resource Officers, in the case of a false alarm, or a student using a panic-button to cause mayhem?

“In throwing so much technology at the problem ... we may have unintentionally created a false sense of security,” Canady said.

Kansas state Sen. Cindy Holscher represents an area that includes part of the Olathe district, and her 15-year-old son knew the Olathe East shooter. While Holscher, a Democrat, supports the addition of panic buttons in the district, she said schools alone can’t fix the country’s mass shooting problem.

“If we make it way too easy for people to get their hands on guns, it’s still a problem,” said Holscher, who has championed a red-flag law and another measure that would have mandated safe firearm storage. She said neither measure even got a hearing in the GOP-dominated Legislature.

“We have got to get to the heart of the issue at some point.”

Controlling Cucumber Beetles in the Garden

BY GRANT MCCARTY CONTRIBUTOR

Okra isn’t commonly grown in the One of the main insect pests I have seen this summer in squash is cucumber beetles.

While given the name cucumber beetle, they will target almost all members of the squash family. I have encountered them on pumpkin, zucchini, winter squash, and cucumbers this season. These beetles are yellow and green in color with either black spots or strips on them. They tend to be around the size of ladybird beetles.

Cucumber beetles are heavily destructive and their numbers can increase substan-

tially during the growing season. When you are looking for these in your garden, look into the flowers, under leaves, and near the base of the plant. These beetles are very good flyers and will move pretty quickly if they are disturbed.

Some growers I know will apply a sticky adhesive like craft glue spray to yellow/ orange colored plastic plates near the plant. As it’s the same color as flowers, it may attract beetles away from your cucurbits. Others have used trap crops like blue hubbard squash to attract the cucumber beetles away. Intercropping with corn and broccoli has also been

shown to address cucumber beetles.

Straw may provide relief for the plantings as well. Of course, there are a number of insecticides that can manage them.

One of the main actions you can take is to collect and destroy the male flowers of your squash plants. Each squash plant produces male and female flowers that are needed for pollination and the development of your squash. A female flower will have a swollen base right behind the flower compared to a male flower that does not have this. Male flowers bloom for usually a single day. As cucumber beetles hide in these male flowers, a easy

step is to remove these flowers and throw them away. As you can imagine, if you do remove the male flowers this may lessen the squash that develops on your vines.

However, you most likely have enough pumpkins, winter squash, and watermelon already forming and the removal of these male flowers will not make a di�erence. If you are growing zucchini, cucumbers, and others that continually are yielding, you might be cautious of removing these male flowers at least until they have shriveled up.

ENERGY & ENVIRONMENT

Electric vehicles’ role in community services

BY DRS. ROBERT & SONIA VOGL

ILLINOIS RENEWABLE ENERGY ASSOCIATION CONTRIBUTORS

Our economy is based on oil but a current focus is on reducing our reliance on fossil fuels. An energy transition is replacing them with renewable energy sources, yet only 18% of the world’s energy consumption is in the electrical sector while the remaining energy consumption remains reliant on fossil fuels. Even if we are successful in displacing their use in the electrical sector it remains unclear how the remaining massive energy needs will be met.

Aspects of the transportation sector are the mostly likely places for a quick transition to renewable energy to have successes using existing technologies.

In the early development of mass transit in urban areas electricity powered much of the public transportation. Electric streetcars were the dominant form of transportation and electricity powered mass transit systems between cities existed throughout the country. Later buses with contact poles feeding electricity to them replaced or extended public

transportation.

The majority of electrified public transportation was removed from many cities by their purchase by a corporate monopoly which introduced diesel powered buses spewing pollution into the surrounding air. We rode in streetcars and electrified buses in our youth and remember the public’s negative reaction to the fumes when diesel powered buses were placed in service. We have ridden on the El in Chicago and the remaining streetcar services in Toronto, New Orleans and San Francisco. We also rode on a high speed electrical rail in Japan.

Electrical service is a mature technology which can be an e�ective energy source for mass transit in crowded urban settings. It would also cut air pollution which adversely impacts the health of adults and children living near diesel powered bus service.

Electric powered buses with batteries are a welcomed addition to mass needs in urban settings. Since their initial costs are higher than diesel or natural gas buses, government subsidies remain essential to increasing their adoption. Dramatically

lowered maintenance and fuel costs means that over time the initial higher expenses are recovered and additional savings accrue during their useful life. In additional to savings in fuel and maintenance are savings in the health costs of citizens formerly exposed to the fumes of diesel busses in dense urban areas.

Another application of battery powered mass transit is buses transporting children and youth to schools across the nation. The same benefits from battery based electric buses accrue to schools using them. An additional potential benefit from battery powered buses is that when fully charged and equipped with the proper technology the electricity stored in them can serve as a mobile source of power. This energy can temporarily meet some emergency energy needs of essential services in a community when power from grid service is disrupted.

Other useful applications of battery powered transportation include Ebikes, wheel chairs and urban delivery vans.

Garbage collection trucks with frequent stops to pick up wastes are another cost e�ective alternative to diesel powered or

natural gas powered trucks.

Electrified transportation service must be well planned to maximize its benefits as appropriate routes, distances and recharging facilities are important for success. Electrified transit systems require a di�erent skill set for their maintenance and employee training to perform such services.

The early targets of battery powered public transit, school buses and garbage collection, are proving their economic value while cutting air pollution and reducing the release of climate changing gases. As the volume of battery powered transportation units increases, technological advances and cost reductions are expected to follow. While cleaner than fossil fuel based transportation, their reliance on batteries does have some adverse environmental impacts.

Both the Federal and state governments have incentives in place to support the transition to battery based vehicles.

P ubl ic t ranspor t at ion in Ch icago, Rockford and the Quad Cities are some of the communities benefitting from electric vehicles in northern Illinois.

Theme: Science

ARIES

At work, you’ll undertake some trai­ ning that brings you advancement.

You’ll gain access to roles that are more closely aligned with your values. At the very least, you’ll redefine your ambitions with a stronger sense of conviction.

TAURUS

Perhaps you still haven’t been able to enjoy a relaxing and enriching vacation this summer. You’ll at least plan a sweet getaway that helps you recharge. It may even restore your youthfulness.

GEMINI

You’ll seek to please everyone, but you know well that this is impossible. It’s enough to follow your heart; it’ll never lead you astray. Have more faith in your­ self and trust your intuition.

CANCER

If you return to work after a long vaca­ tion, you’ll burn out quickly. In addi­ tion, your loved ones and your signifi­ cant other will need more attention. A little rest will be essential to get you through the week.

LEO

You’ll find yourself on a pedestal recei­ ving some form of reward, a situation that’ll bring you success. You’ll gain cla­ rity on a murky story and earn yourself some expressions of appreciation.

VIRGO

You’ll take time for family and enjoy some solitude in the comfort of your home. Your relationship will also take priority. You’ll use a great deal of crea­ tivity, even if it’s just to concoct some new recipe.

LIBRA

You’re sure to want a new car. You’ll also spend a lot of time negotiating various things or listening to endless spee­ ches. At work, you may find you’re an ace at sales.

SCORPIO

THE LUCKIEST SIGNS THIS WEEK:

VIRGO, LIBRA AND SCORPIO Horoscope

ARIES

ARIES

TAURUS

TAURUS

A few people will ask you to help them out on various occasions, forcing you to move around frequently. You’ll have a chance to spoil yourself, maybe even think about buying a new car.

By calculating your budget over and over, you’ll realize you have the means to achieve your ambitions. You’ll find the necessary funds to make one of your greatest dreams a reality. After some careful consideration, you’ll find the cou­ rage to take action.

GEMINI

You’ll have a tendency to be discoura­ ged by the extent of your responsibili­ ties. The more progress you make, the more you’ll find within yourself the ma­ kings of a winner, and then nothing will be able to stop you.

CANCER

Sometimes you need to take a step back to gain more perspective on a situation.

In your professional life, you’ll aspire to do something more in line with your ambitions; you must take the ladder one rung at a time.

LEO

You’ve barely finished your summer holi­ days when you start planning for the next one with your friends. You’ll orga­ nize a meeting at the office, and it’ll take on a phenomenal scale, bringing the whole company together.

VIRGO

A desire for elevation will manifest itself intellectually and spiritually. You’ll also decide to set out on a new career or a rewarding personal journey. Don’t be afraid of change.

LIBRA

A short period of reflection will be enough for you to make important decisions about your personal or professional fu­ ture. Some negotiation will be required, and you’ll need to weigh the pros and cons before finalizing anything.

You’ll want to treat yourself, perhaps by updating your wardrobe or hairstyle.

SCORPIO You’ll find you need a more active so­ An ideal compromise isn’t always pos­ cial life and more engagement with sible, especially if multiple people have your best friends.

WEEK OF AUGUST 21 TO 27, 2022

If you’re offered extra work, it’ll be es­ sential to weigh the pros and cons be­ fore accepting. Is it a job that’ll showcase your value and advance your quality of life? Give it some thought.

You’ll find yourself in an excellent posi­ tion to negotiate something that brings you prestige. You may also become a hero in someone’s eyes, even if only because you listen to them for a few moments.

GEMINI

You may adopt a whole new way of life, possibly considering a switch to a vegan diet. Your health will require that you refine some of your habits, and to feel better, you may inevitably have to mo­ dify them.

CANCER

Whether in a professional or personal context, you’ll place yourself in situa­ tions where you’ll be able to interact with multiple people. This will enable you to expand your circle of friends and social networks.

LEO

You may have taken steps towards secu­ ring financing for a professional project or a house purchase. You’ll be deligh­ ted to finally receive a positive response that sets things in motion.

VIRGO

The telephone will ring off the hook at times, and then other times, you’ll have total silence. Even if you leave urgent messages, you may have to exercise pa­ tience before getting responses from some people.

LIBRA

Clearly, improving your eating habits will be beneficial to your health. A radi­ cal change in the rhythms of your life will enable you to regain your youthful beauty and vitality.

SCORPIO

You’ll develop new friendships, which will lead to beautiful and enriching ad­ ventures. These people may cause you to discover a new form of spirituality.

At work, you’ll expand your client base abroad.

SAGITTARIUS

You’ll see significant changes at work.

This’ll come as a surprise and cause you added stress. Fortunately, the storm will pass, and your financial situation will improve considerably.

CAPRICORN

A great desire for change and transfor­ mation will drive you if only to give the walls at home a new coat of paint. In all spontaneity, you’ll find yourself at the hardware store buying the supplies you need.

AQUARIUS

New clothes, a new hairstyle and other new accessories will help you feel more at ease in your professional duties. This will amplify your value in the eyes of others and yourself.

PISCES

You may find yourself subject to some adjustments at work. As colleagues leave their positions, you’ll inherit their respon­ sibilities and find it somewhat challen­ ging. You’ll catch on brilliantly and gain much pride from it.
