Advocates await action on bill protecting rights of immigrant students in Illinois
Bill would ensure right to free public K-12 education regardless of immigration status
By Peter Hancock Capitol News Illinois phancock@capitolnewsillinois.com
SPRINGFIELD — Immigration rights advocates in Illinois are anxiously awaiting the governor’s signature on legislation aimed at protecting K-12 students who may be in the country without legal authorization from being denied access to a free public education.
House Bill 3247, known as the “Safe Schools for All Act,” passed both chambers of the General Assembly in the final days of the spring session. It would prohibit schools from denying any child access to a free public education based on their actual or perceived immigration status, or that of their parents.
It would also prohibit schools from disclosing, or threatening to disclose, information about a student’s immigration status or the status of a person associated with the child. And it would require schools to develop procedures for
reviewing and authorizing requests from law enforcement agents attempting to enter a school or school facility.
The bill is intended to buffer K-12 students in Illinois from efforts by the Trump administration to launch mass deportations of noncitizens living in the United States without legal authorization.
Speaking at a May 7 rally outside the Statehouse, where Democratic lawmakers and immigration rights advocates protested an appearance in Springfield that day of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, state Sen. Karina Villa, D-West Chicago, the chief Senate sponsor of the bill, vowed that Illinois would remain defiant of Trump’s political agenda.
“We are also going to protect our children,” she told the crowd gathered around a statue of Abraham Lincoln. “We’re going to make them feel safe in our schools by passing HB 3247. We are going to unite and we are going to get that done.”
On Jan. 20, the first day of the new administration, the Department of Homeland Security rescinded a Bidenera policy that prevented federal agents
from conducting immigration enforcement actions in certain “sensitive” areas, including schools, churches and hospitals.
Fred Tsao, an attorney for the Illinois Coalition for Immigrant and Refugee Rights, said during an interview that the policy change has had a chilling effect on the immigrant community, making many afraid to even show up in school.
“We have seen a decline in student participation, particularly among heavily Latino schools after this inauguration,” he said. “So we want to make sure that schools are prepared in the events that federal agents, or for that matter other law enforcement, come to their door in a nonemergency situation.”
Tsao said advocates have also been concerned about possible changes in other legal protections for immigrant students that so far have only been expressed in judicial opinions.
In 1982, the U.S. Supreme Court struck down a Texas statute that authorized local school districts to either deny enrollment to children who had not been “legally admitted” to the United States, or to charge them tuition, holding the law violated the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th amendment.
Tsao, however, said there have been attempts in other state legislatures, including earlier this year in Tennessee, to pass legislation that would challenge that 43-year-old ruling. And while the effort in the Tennessee legislature fell short this year, he said advocates in Illinois wanted to act now to make sure the rights of immigrant students are protected in state law, should the Supreme Court precedent ever be overturned.

“Fortunately, our counterparts in Tennessee, the immigrant advocacy organizations and community leaders, bombarded the General Assembly with advocacy work and were able to persuade a number of legislators to vote against this legislation when it came down to it,” he said. “But you know, that’s not to say that folks in Tennessee or folks in other states won’t try again.”
As of Wednesday, June 18, HB 3247 had not yet been sent to Gov. JB Pritzker.

Rockford clay artist Ginny Hatwich invites a spiritual connection to her works in Kortman Gallery exhibit
From Kortman Gallery
Rockford clay artist Ginny Hatwich creates sculptural ceramic totems and vessels that invite contemplation, connection, and surprise. Her elegant, alluring works will be presented in a Kortman Gallery exhibition, titled “Shaped by Hand, Touched by Flame: Ceramic Totems and Vessels for Moments of Quiet Discovery.” The exhibit opens Friday, June 27th, 5:30 to 9pm.
Hatwich’s work, created with elements from the earth, has been greatly inspired by nature. It is the subtle merging of craft and art.
“My ceramic practice is grounded in a lifelong connection to nature and an early
foundation in painting,” says Hatwich.
“I approach clay much like a canvas, attuned to surface, texture, and composition. But unlike a painting, each piece is transformed through fire, a collaborator that brings depth, unpredictability, and strength.”
For over a decade, Hatwich also served as a docent at Anderson Japanese Gardens which has deeply shaped her aesthetic sensibility.
“I’m especially drawn to the Japanese principle of miegakure, or “hide and reveal”--the idea that beauty is often discovered gradually, in quiet moments of attention,” says Hatwich in her artist’s statement. “I aim for my work to evoke
that sense of discovery. Sculptures are designed to be found in the garden, half-veiled by foliage, or to offer a subtle presence indoors. They invite a pause, a second glance, a tactile curiosity.”
According to Kortman Gallery director Doc Slafkosky, Hatwich’s exhibition showcases a collection of ceramic totems and vessels that invite contemplation, connection, and surprise.
“Ginny’s work, especially her totems, offer a visual treat of color, composition, and narrative with her recognizable 2 and 3D elements incorporated into these both indoor and garden sculptures,” Slafkosky said. “It’s the perfect time of year to present such an outstanding exhibit.”
“Shaped by Hand, Touched by Flame: Ceramic Totems and Vessels for Moments of Quiet Discovery,” featuring works by Ginny Hatwich will open with an artist’s reception Friday, June 27th from 5:30 to 9pm upstairs in the Kortman Gallery, 107 North Main Street in Downtown Rockford. Her exhibit will run through September 27th. J.R. Kortman Center for Design and Kortman Gallery are open Tuesday through Friday, 11am to 6pm and Saturdays, 11am to 5pm.
The opening event and gallery are free and open to the public. For more information visit www.jrkortman.com or phone 815-968-0123.

Ukraine War Russian attacks on Ukraine kill at least 14 people as Zelenskyy travels to UK
By Justin Spike Associated Press
KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Russian drones and missiles killed at least 14 civilians and injured several dozen others in Ukraine in overnight attacks, local officials said Monday, with nine deaths reported in the capital, Kyiv, where an apartment building partially collapsed.
The attacks came as Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy began a visit to the United Kingdom, where he met privately with King Charles III.
Russia fired 352 drones and decoys overnight, as well as 11 ballistic missiles and five cruise missiles, Ukraine’s air force said. Air defenses intercepted or jammed 339 drones and 15 missiles before they could reach their targets, a statement said.
A Russian ballistic missile strike destroyed a high school later in the day in Ukraine’s southern Odesa region, killing two staff, authorities said. No children were on the premises due to the summer vacation, said Zelenskyy, who described the strike as “absolutely insane.”
The strikes came nearly a week after a Russian attack killed 28 people in Kyiv, 23 of them in a residential building that collapsed after a direct missile hit. Russia has also hit civilian areas with long-range strikes in an apparent attempt to weaken Ukrainian morale.
‘Coalition of murderers’
Russian forces have been trying to drive deeper into Ukraine as part of a summer push along the roughly 1,000-kilometer (620-mile) front line, though the Institute for the Study of War said progress has failed to make significant gains.
“Russian forces are largely relying on poorly trained infantry to make gains in the face of Ukraine’s drone-based defense,” the Washington-based think tank said late Sunday.
Zelenskyy said preliminary data indicated that Russian forces used North Korean missiles in the Kyiv strike. He described Russia, North Korea and Iran, which has provided drones to Russia, as a “coalition of murderers.”
Zelenskyy said Ukraine’s defense and new ways to pressure Russia will be the two main topics in his visit to the United Kingdom on Monday. Zelenskyy met privately with King Charles III and stayed for lunch, Buckingham Palace said. He was also expected to meet Prime Minister Keir Starmer ahead of this week’s NATO
summit in The Hague, Starmer’s office said.
Drones hit hospitals and resi- dential areas
Drones and missiles hit residential areas, hospitals and sports infrastructure in numerous districts across Kyiv, emergency services said.
The most severe damage was in Shevchenkivskyi district, where a section of a five-story apartment building collapsed.
Nine people were killed in the district, Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko said. Ten others, including a pregnant woman, were rescued from a nearby high-rise that also sustained heavy damage. Dozens of vehicles were burned or mangled by flying debris.
Oleksii Pozychaniuk, 29, who lives in the building next to the one struck, said he heard the whistle of the rocket approaching and “froze in terror” before feeling the impact.
“Windows burst out, glass was flying everywhere,” he said. “We barely made it downstairs with my child. Everything here was on fire.”
Klitschko said rescue workers were searching for survivors.
The Russian attack also damaged the entrance to the Sviatoshyn subway station in Kyiv, slightly injuring two people, said Timur Tkachenko, the head of Kyiv’s military administration. He said more than 30 people were injured across the city.
Underground subway stations have served as shelters for those seeking protection from aerial attacks. During almost nightly strikes, stations across Kyiv are often filled with people waiting
out the danger.
French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot said the latest strikes demonstrated Russia’s “unlimited cruelty” by deliberately aiming at civilian targets, and promised more European sanctions on Moscow.
Long process to identify returned remains
Elsewhere in Ukraine, a drone attack killed two people and wounded 10 more in the Chernihiv region late Sunday, authorities said. Three children were among the wounded, according to the regional administration head, Viacheslav Chaus. Another person was killed and eight wounded overnight in the city of Bila Tserkva, around 85 kilometers (53 miles) southwest of the capital.
Meanwhile, Russia’s Defense Ministry said its air defenses shot down 23 Ukrainian drones overnight into Monday. Ukraine will take at least a year to identify the thousands of soldiers’ bodies repatriated by Russia and establish whether Moscow has mistakenly included more of its servicemen, Ukrainian Interior Minister Ihor Klymenko said. Zelenskyy said Friday that Russia had included at least 20 of its own dead soldiers in recent exchanges with Ukraine, describing it as a result of Moscow’s disorganization in carrying out large swaps of wounded POWs and remains.
At least five of the bodies can be proven to be Russian, Klymenko told a press conference, with tests being conducted on others. Journalists were shown uniforms and items including cigarettes belonging to what Ukraine said were the five Russians.
Golden State Warriors help transform lives of incarcerated men through coaching program
By Janie McCauley Associated Press
VACAVILLE, Calif. (AP) — One day last fall, Ray Woodfork found himself being challenged to a fight by a fellow inmate half his age on the grounds of Solano State Prison.
Woodfork would have been tempted not so long ago. The Golden State Warriors have helped turn him toward a different way of thinking.
This time, the once-aspiring college basketball player, who was serving as referee for the prison football league that day, immediately made it clear he had no interest in an altercation. Woodfork said he chose to walk away and return to his dorm.
He acknowledges had he fought there’s no way he would now be part of a peer mentoring program or have a chance for the governor to review his case.
And Woodfork certainly wouldn’t be a certified basketball coach either if adrenaline and anger had won out.
“I was just like, ‘That’s not who I am, that’s not what I’m about,’ and I walked away,” Woodfork recalled. “It’s hard to do, because the flesh wants to do that.”
The incident happened before Week 5 of a six-week program run by youth coaches from the Warriors Basketball Academy as part of the Twinning Project that is teaching incarcerated men at Solano coaching skills and showing them there is the chance for meaningful transformation.
Woodfork successfully utilized a skill learned in the program: palms down.
With palms facing down, it allows someone to move forward and focus on the next moment or play, forgetting whatever trigger might be right in front of them or something that already happened.
Woodfork began writing rap lyrics about his experience with the Twinning Project, which started in the UK by pairing professional soccer teams like Arsenal and West Ham United of the Premier League with prisons to contribute in the rehabilitation process. U.S. clubs such as D.C. United, Angel City FC and Miami FC have become involved — and other NBA teams are showing interest.
“Golden State will be a hard act to follow,” Twinning Project CEO Hilton Freund said.
“With my palms down, I calm down, next move is on them.”
Several months later, Woodfork grabbed a mic and began rapping those very words in celebration as his 15 basketball teammates danced alongside him and hugged one another.
It’s graduation day.
That means a stroll in front of the group to receive a certificate and Warriors jersey with each man’s last name on back. The hope is these graduates will now use their skills to teach other incarcerated men not only how to coach but to be positive influences.
When Warriors academy coach Ben Clarfield circles up the group at midcourt to give the men and instructors a chance to provide feedback, there is a common theme.
The Twinning Project has provided these men a sense of self-worth and purpose, a break from the isolation of prison. Many of the participants expressed feeling loved and seen — often for the first time in years.
This has been about grace and forgiveness, inclusion and acceptance. Oftentimes, those ideas have had to be learned or re-learned — and the Twinning Project played a crucial role in that process.
“It reintroduced me to my love of basketball, that people on the outside haven’t given up on us,” former Fresno State student Jonquel Brooks said. “It’s wanting to coach but not knowing how to coach, then now being given the tools to have the opportunity.”
Jeff Addiego, vice president of Warriors Basketball Academy, and his staff have also been changed by the outreach. They beamed and fought tears at the same time, overjoyed to see these men finding meaning in their new roles.
The way this program works, the Warriors players and coaches aren’t participating as some of the European professionals are, though former Golden State big man Festus Ezeli has been a regular visitor.
“We’ve gotten to know each and every one of these guys. If one of these guys was anywhere else I would give him a hug the first time I saw him,” Addiego said.
“It’s amazing. We don’t pry or ask them anything it, but what they’ve been willing
to share with us, it’s powerful stuff.”
Woodfork’s mentor, Viet Kim Le, took part in the second coaching cohort. He has observed the commitment by Woodfork to show remorse for his crime and better himself while serving a life sentence without the possibility of parole for murder.
“His beliefs have changed,” Le said, “so he looks at life through a different lens.”
“I don’t react, I respond, I take a breath and I move on.”
Spanning four hours each Tuesday, some of these men felt like actual basketball players again. They stepped into a changing area in the Solano gym and traded their prison blues for jerseys featuring the Warriors logo on front and Twinning Project on back before making their way to the court for drills like shooting, dribbling and defense. There was also mental training to find strategies for every situation they might encounter in prison or, for some perhaps eventually, life on the outside.
They backpedaled with extra self-confidence, they high-fived, dishing out good-natured trash talk here and there, but more than anything they cheered each other on — through every great shot or errant pass.
Many might never have mixed otherwise.
Community-building is a big part of it.
Freund launched his charitable foundation in 2018, and he and his wife attended the Feb. 11 graduation of the second group of 16 men at Solano receiving coaching certificates. He is thrilled the Warriors became involved.
Freund references a study from the University of Oxford published last year showing the program’s “wholistic benefit” for the incarcerated leading to “better behavior, less propensity for violence, improved relationships amongst themselves and improved relationships with their prison officers.”
“Making coaches out of convicts, we’re taking over cities ... coaching with a passion, that’s how we set the tone.”
The palms-down approach is about having the power to choose a response. That message and other learning tools
came from mental skills coach Graham Betchart, who works regularly with the UConn men’s basketball team.
On his first drive to Solano, Betchart came up with the rhyme “let it go, give it back, next play I attack.”
He had no idea Woodfork would soon begin turning those words into rap.
“Inspiring to the world,” Betchart said, “and it comes in a way that I’ve never seen anybody deliver it the way that he does. ... And everything he’s saying is PG-13 but it’s delivered in a way that’s so powerful you don’t even realize that you’d want your 9-year-old kid listening to this.”
“I let it go and get it back, the next play, you know I’m going to attack.”
Woodfork was arrested at age 20 for killing a man during an attempted robbery. He had expected to start playing college games in a summer tournament mere days later.
“So I was right there, right there,” Woodfork shared.
Now he is hopeful his hard work will be considered by Gov. Gavin Newsom.
A former gang member both outside and inside prison who once had dreams of playing in the NBA, Woodfork has trained to be a peer mentor — a program requiring he have five “clean” years without trouble in order to participate.
The Warriors’ program has filled a major void.
“That’s an understatement,” Woodfork said, “due to the fact my aspirations were to play in the NBA one day, as a kid that was my end all, be all, that was my identity. Basketball was everything.”
“It’s deeper than the game and that name on your shirt, it’s the Twinning Project, where real men put in work.”
It brings Addiego and the others to tears at times witnessing the progress — like Woodfork deciding not to fight that day.
“I talked myself off the ledge by speaking out loud about what happened,” said Woodfork, now working as a drug and alcohol counselor.
“This is an opportunity to show the world I’m not the person I was. It doesn’t define me. I feel like I’ve outgrown prison, I feel like a fish swimming upstream, a salmon.”

Recent rains and a stretch of warm weather have helped many vegetable crops in the region begin to thrive. However, in my home garden, several brassica crops—such as collards, cabbage, and kale—are showing significant damage, with large holes and extensive leaf loss. The presence of small white moths in the garden indicates a common pest is to blame: the cabbage worm.
There are three different cabbage worms including the cabbage looper, imported cabbageworm, and diamondback moth larva. All these worms are light green in color and cause similar damage. They are

very easy to identify once you know what you are looking for. They tend to be on the largest leaves of the plant but may target new leaves just starting to emerge. The adults of cabbage looper and imported cabbageworm are white moths that you may be seeing in your vegetable garden currently. They lay reddish-orange eggs on the underside of the leaves where the green worms hatch and begin eating.
Though the name ‘cabbage worm’ may make you think it solely targets cabbage, it will go after all members of the cole family including kale, collards, broccoli, cauliflower, brussels sprouts, and others. If you are growing a mixture of these, you may see that some are eaten more

than others. Anecdotally, I notice that my collards are receiving the heaviest damage.
Control for these worms can be tricky. Hand-removal can be a tedious option as there may be 3 populations this growing season and you may be removing these worms daily until the end of July. You could squish the worms on the leaves too. If leaves have been heavily defoliated, you should remove the entire leaf.
Row cover could be another option. It is like a mosquito net that creates a barrier between the plant and insects. The plants still receive sunlight and water. Because the cabbage family does not need pollination, the row cover could
Thoughts from the ELPC Gala

My daughter and I attended the Environmental Law and Policy Center’s annual fund raising dinner at the Offshore Rooftop at Navy Pier. Of course returning there brought back many memories. Sonia and I had designed educational programs for low income students in the Chicago Public Schools for over 20 years involving residential camp experiences and another focused on the major museums in downtown Chicago.
We also promoted the development of a Lake Michigan Education Center and toured the empty Navy Pier with the thought of locating it there. We had been discussing the possibility with Dr. Stanley Cain who lead the U.S. Department of Interior at that time. We made a presentation on the need for a Lake Michigan educational program before the Open Lands Project meeting. There were a number of outcomes from our effort including Sonia’s doctoral dissertation on water quality studies contrasting other inland water resources to the resources of Lake Michigan.
Years later we were contacted by Hans Detweiler employed by the ELPC regarding our educational efforts with solar energy and energy efficiency. It evolved to the point where we were coordinated
our annual Energy Fair.
Those were some of the memories being recalled as we drove to Elburn to take the train to the ELPC event in Chicago. It was a relatively slow and bumpy ride on the train compared to a ride we had in Japan on a high speed train. Better trains and tracks could reduce pollution from cars.
Lin and I drove to the train station in Elburn to avoid the Friday traffic in Chicago. Of course once in Chicago hooking up with a Lyft driver was quick and easy. I was somewhat surprised at how new and clean the available cars are. The driver from the rail station was friendly and cheerful, while the driver back to the train was pleasant but very quiet.
We wondered if we would meet any of our old contacts from our Energy Fairs. Time progresses quickly and the only people we knew were Howard Learner, Senator Durbin and Tom Skilling.
The remainder of this article is based on some of the highlights of Learner’s presentation. Learner pointed out that their organization’s call for action is similar to Bob Marley’s call to Get Up, Stand Up and Fight.” Learner called for standing up for our rights is based on pointing out what the Trump Administration is doing is wrong based on 150 attempts to undo environmental protections.
Learner cited some examples of wrong actions. After declaring an energy emergency the administration is treating solar, wind and battery storage as the enemy. They are pretending climate change is not real and cut our national weather service,
In anticipation of the such actions by the new administration ELPC developed a strategy to protect the environment. They hired 10 new staff to implement their strategy. They turned to the federal courts to stop mercury pollution from old coal plants in Illinois and North Dakota. They are active protecting wetlands in Iowa, Minnesota and the Dakotas. They continued their efforts to reduce manure pollution in Lake Erie to curtail toxic algae outbreaks in the summer.
While the federal government is initiating damaging environmental actions the Governors of Illinois, Wisconsin, Michigan, their Attorney Generals and their Supreme Courts remain supportive of environmental progress.to advance clean energy, sustainable transportation and protecting natural resources.
He went on to cite four victories involving environmental struggles. One is getting the Army Corps of engineers to withdraw their flawed environmental impact statement in support of developing a new toxic landfill along the Lake Michigan shoreline in southeast Chicago.
stay permanent until you are ready to harvest. You may still need to remove the row cover to hand-remove these insects. You may also discover that minimal control is needed. In some years, since I have these insects every year, I will notice parasitoid wasps that are eating the worms. When combined with hand removal, this has helped keep insect damage under control. Chemical control is available though want to ensure you choose the right product. Some of these products will be consumed by the worm while others will need to be applied directly onto the worms.
Grant is the Local Food and Smalls Farms Educator of the University of Illinois Extension.
ELPC wants the site developed into a new lake front park for public enjoyment.
Another effort is to create a 1000 acre waterfront park on the site of an old coal plant, which has gained local support in a deeply conservative area of Michigan.
In Central Illinois they are the verge of a settlement in a federal court litigation protecting migrant farm workers harmed by errant spraying by creating a better state regulatory protection system including payments for the farmworkers.
A fourth action involved building bipartisan support for federal funding for the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative which secured continuing funding of the initiative.
Learner left the audience with one thought: “This is our moment for action… This is not a time for complacency.”
The ELPC has seen its mission as protecting the environment in the midwestern states and they need support for their work. There are other local organizations working on protecting the environment that we have been involved with in the area relying on public support. They include the Rock River Trail Initiative, the Sand Ridge Prairie Restoration, Nachusa Grassland, Middle Rock River, Sustain Rockford and the Natural Lands Institute.
