Corn fields add to muggy, humid Midwestern temps VOL. 10 • NO. 32

It’s not just the heat; it’s the humidity and “corn sweat” making muggy Midwestern summers feel even hotter.

In agricultural states, such as Illinois, large-scale fields of corn releasing water through their leaves boost humidity levels, making people feel hotter. One acre of corn can add between 3,000 to 4,000 gallons of water a day to the atmosphere, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.

Illinois State Climatologist Trent Ford with the Illinois State Water Survey says scientists in major agricultural states have studied how crops affect local weather patterns since the mid-1980s.

“The amount of humidity coming off crops does matter,” Ford says.

“It’s less than what’s being blown in off the Gulf of Mexico, but our growing crops do have a documented impact.”

Corn doesn’t actually sweat, says Doug Gucker, a University of Illinois Extension local foods small farms educator serving Central Illinois. It breathes.

“It is more like when humans exhale; our breath has a higher water content than the surrounding air,” Gu-

cker says. “It is the same thing in the corn field, except plants do not have lungs, so they transpire.”

When temperatures are high, plants open pores on their leaves called stomata, bringing in oxygen and releasing carbon dioxide and excess water.

The water evaporates, cooling the plant.

Corn growth peaks around the same time summer temperatures do, intensifying the effect.

“Corn is a grass,” says Russel Higgins, Extension commercial agriculture educator in Northern Illinois.

“It’s taller and has more leaf area, so it transpires more water than a soybean crop. The corn crop demand for water also peaks earlier in the season than it does for the soybean crop.”

The hotter it is, the more plants transpire, as long as they have available water. Anyone who has detasseled or scouted corn knows exactly how standing in a field mid-July can feel.

“The corn is 7 to 9 feet tall, and there’s often limited wind movement in the field, and all those plants are transpiring,” Higgins says. “Under those conditions you can feel the el-

evated humidity in there.”

Most Illinois heat waves come with higher levels of humidity, Ford says.

Some of that is from the state’s 10 million acres of corn.

“In the summer we have an actively growing crop as well as natural vegetation,” Ford says. “That means that a pretty decent amount of our humidity near the surface is coming from transpiration.”

The added humidity creates conditions for thunderstorms, but crops may also be preventing regional heat

waves. While Ford says the number of extremely hot days are increasing in other regions, the Midwest has escaped the trend, and researchers are trying to find out why.

“The cooling effect that transpiration provides may be reducing the number of hot days,” Ford says.

However, corn stops transpiring when moisture levels are low, which lowers humidity levels and causes a spike in daytime temperatures.

Looking ahead, Higgins says that higher humidity levels, which slows

moisture loss from crops, may be beneficial since June was warmer and drier than usual. An article in the Illinois Bulletin by Dr. Emerson Nafziger notes that 20 percent of Illinois is currently “abnormally dry.”

Facilities report new COVID-19 cases

BY CAPITOL NEWS ILLINOIS

A juvenile detention facility and two mental health centers in Illinois each reported outbreaks of COVID-19 on Tuesday, July 21.

The Illinois Department of Juvenile Justice youth center in St. Charles reported 16 new cases of COVID-19 in staff and three new cases among youth at the facility.

This prompted “increased mitigation and infection control measures,” according to a news release from the Illinois Department of Public Health, which said all youth and staff have been tested for the virus and the facility is “implementing programming changes to reduce further spread.”

IDPH also reported that Chester Mental Health Center in Randolph County reported 32 confirmed cases – 27 staff and five residents – while Shapiro Developmental Center in Kankakee County reported seven confirmed cases – one resident and five staff.

“I want to remind everyone that this pandemic is still very much here,” Gov. JB Pritzker said at an unrelated event in Collinsville. “And it remains a very serious threat. People are getting sick and dying. The Metro East region has one of the highest rates of cases and transmission in the state, even as the rest of the state remains fairly steady.”

He added: “You’ve all seen the death toll rising in Florida and Texas, in Arizona, Alabama, North Carolina, in California. This is no joke.

This is no hoax. Metro East is at risk, as any area of the country, of tipping over to the higher case and death counts that we see in other parts of the country.”

Pritzker said the state “will take immediate action to impose additional mitigations” if there’s an increase in the rolling positivity rate for COVID-19 tests along with increased hospital admissions or decreased surge capacities. Action will also follow if a region passes an 8 percent rolling seven-day average.

Applications will be available for mentor match-ups. The webinar will also touch on using native plants on a larger scale, such as restoration projects at McHenry County Conservation District sites.

Dream

Are there walleye in heaven?

As weird as it may sound, this is a question I’ve pondered lately.

I’m willing to take a bet that very few reading this have thought about walleye (as in the fish) being in heaven. But you aren’t the daughter of my dad.

For those not familiar with walleye, they are a revered fish akin to the lobster of Minnesota (as well as other states). When you visit a Maine restaurant you order lobster; when you visit Minnesota you order walleye.

My dad knows all about walleye – and catching them. He mastered the art. He grew up on a Minnesota lake that had plenty of walleye and he learned right then and there how to bring them into the boat and bring them home for dinner. He traveled throughout the state to various lakes and rivers, catching walleye wherever he went. You could say it was his life’s passion (or one of them at least) and you’d be right.

He’s known for his walleye prowess; for years his moniker has been Walleye Joe. He has a hat proclaiming this nickname and a sweatshirt that simply says, “Shut up

His days have slowed.

He no longer fishes for walleye, but he’s more than happy to talk By about them. Some days his memory JILL isn’t the best, but he remembers his PERTLER Contributor lifelong relationship with the elusive fish. When I visit, it is one of the few topics I can count on to get his attention.

At the mere mention of walleye, He fished so often – and caught his he perks up. I have caught his limit – that he was able to share with attention. I ask a simple question. me. (It helped my cause that my Are leaches good bait for walleye mom didn’t partake of the delicacy.) catching?

plentiful when he was a boy so they were easier to catch. I can see, as he talks, he is reliving good memories.

I never caught the fishing bug – unless you count goldfish. I guess I don’t have the patience or the attention to detail it takes to catch the elusive walleye. But I still enjoy eating them – lightly coated, pan fried with a pat or two of butter for that extra touch. And although these days I purchase them at the grocery store, one thing remains true: walleye and memories of my dad are inseparable – always have been, always will be.

And that, my friends, is golden.

My story doesn’t end there. Back to my original question: are there walleye in heaven? There better be. For my dad heaven wouldn’t be heaven without walleye. And when he arrives there (hopefully many years from now) he’ll need his fishing pole and a container of leaches, but only if it’s springtime.

Local free Recycling Program this week for Agrichemical Containers The Illinois Department of Agriculture (IDOA) is encouraging farmers and agrichemical facilities

to save their empty agrichemical containers as they will once again be hosting free container recycling days throughout the State.

“This program offers farmers and agrichemical facilities a convenient opportunity to dispose of empty pesticide containers while also helping to protect the environment,” said Jerry Costello II, Director, IDOA. “I encourage farmers to gather any containers they may have been planning to throw out and take them to the nearest collection site to be repurposed.”

Metal and household pesticide containers are not eligible for the recycling program. Collection sites will accept only high-density polyethylene, #2 plastic agrichemical containers that are clean and dry.

Participants are responsible for rinsing them and removing all caps, labels, booklets, and foil seals.

The program is a cooperative venture between the Illinois Department of Agriculture, Agriculture Container Recycling Council, GROWMARK, Inc., Illinois Fertilizer and Chemical Association, G. Phillips and Sons, L.L.C., Illinois Farm Bureau, and the University of Illinois Extension.

I had a dream on July 23, 2020 (very late) or July 24 (very early).

It was about a pastor in a meeting of mostly clergywomen/ men.

Though the meeting was cordial, the pastor was increasingly disconcerted by the absence of theology.

Yes, the meeting was held “decently and in order” but the pastor was growing impatient with what seemed to be an indecent or ignorant or intentional inability to consider issues with Jesus as the focus and filter of decision-making.

Indeed, Jesus or the Bible and definitely not the Holy Spirit didn’t even come up during the meeting.

Finally, the pastor said, “I hear a lot of talk that sounds liberal, conservative, progressive, or traditional; but I don’t hear much talk about what it means to be a follower of Jesus. He hasn’t been mentioned once. I’d say forget the Bible but it seems to have been forgotten. If we’re not going to talk about what’s before us with Jesus and the Bible in mind, what makes us any different from other politicians?”

The response to the pastor was not good.

If looks could kill…

Fortunately, there were no stones in the room.

After the meeting, in the parking lot, one clergywoman and one clergyman flashed a ‘thumbs up’ to him after making sure no one else was watching.

End of dream.

Then I woke up.

I remembered studying with Dr. Wolfgang Lowe in Heidelberg, Germany back in the mid-70s.

On a scholarship, I was doing my best brown-nosing to get good grades.

Because I knew he had spent a lot of time at the World Council of Churches in Geneva, Switzerland, I thought I’d impress him with my knowledge of Marx.

Instead, he said, “Herr Kopp, I know you are here to prepare for a future as a Christian professor or pastor. If you are going to talk to me like a Marxist when I know you’re studying for a Christian vocation, which I assume makes you a Christian, how can I ever trust you? Talk like a Marxist if you are a Marxist. Talk like a Christian if you are a Christian.”

That conversation follows me whenever I preach, teach, counsel, mentor, attend church meetings or…

Maybe one of the many reasons that people aren’t attracted to churches anymore is the lack of reference and adherence to the Founder.

Group launches ‘tax day’ push for constitutional amendment Union-backed ballot initiative committee organizes virtual events across state

By Jerry Nowicki CAPITOL NEWS ILLINOIS

A group pushing for approval of the graduated tax constitutional amendment on Nov. 3 used tax day to further its cause July 15—the second of a two-day push promoting an overhaul of Illinois’ current income tax system.

In Rockford, Peoria and the Metro East on July 15 and in Chicago, its suburbs and Springfield on July 16, graduated tax proponents orga-

nized by the Vote Yes for Fair Tax ballot initiative committee made their case for a change to the state’s constitutionally enshrined flat tax to one that allows the state to charge different rates on different levels of income.

The speakers in favor of the change included religious leaders, seniors, teachers, small business owners, firefighters and others. The coalition was backed by community and advocacy groups, labor orga-

Reed Road multi-use bike path project The Village of Huntley will construct a continuous multi-use path along the north side of Reed Road from the existing hot mix asphalt path at Reed Road and Vine Street to the signalized intersection of IL Route 47 and Reed Road for an approximate distance of 0.25 mile.

The path segment is intended to enhance the pedestrian experience for its users and to fill a gap in the existing path network which facilitates safe access to and from schools for the surrounding neighborhoods.

When completed, the project will build upon and connect to existing multi-use path networks, which

currently serve the Talamore residential subdivision west of Vine Street, the multi-use path network east and north of the IL Route 47 intersection with Reed Road, as well as commercial destinations.

The path will also connect to the existing carriage walk pedestrian facilities along both the east and west sides of IL Route 47.

Construction survey work began the week of July 20 with the staking of the path’s improvements on the north side of Reed Road between Vine Street and IL Route 47.

The completion date for this project is Aug. 28.

nizations and faith groups.

“It’s completely unfair that educators, like myself, pay the same income tax rate as millionaires and billionaires,” Rebecca Gamboa, a teacher at Madison Elementary School in Lombard, said in a virtual news conference. “I love what I do. And I’m proud of my job, but I think it’s only fair for the wealthy to pay just a little bit more so the rest of us can get a break.”

She said the $3 billion annually expected to result from the graduated tax when it is implemented for a full year could be beneficial to schools, which are already underfunded due to ongoing state fiscal pressures.

The ballot measure will require 60 percent of those voting on the question in the November general election or a majority of those voting in the election to approve it for it to become law. If it passes, a rate structure already been approved by lawmakers would become law in January.

Per that structure, persons or couples earning less than $250,000 would see their tax rates remain the same or be lowered from the current flat tax rate of 4.95 percent for all earners. Those earning more than that would see increases depending on their level of income.

Those earning more than $1 million would see a flat tax rate of 7.99 percent on all income.

That amounts to 97 percent of taxpayers seeing rate cuts while 3 percent see higher rates, supporters argue.

Noah Millard, a DeKalb firefighter, argued that raising billions

from the top 3 percent of earners is a budgetary solution that might help stave off cuts.

“When there’s an emergency in my community, I want to make sure that my brothers and sisters are on the job and ready to go,” he said, “not furloughed, not lacking tools or appropriate protective equipment or laid off due to budget cuts.”

The news conference came one week after business-tied groups launched an anti-amendment coalition against the November ballot measure.

The groups for and against the tax are both well-funded, including Vote Yes for Fair Tax, which is tied to organized labor. Gov. JB Pritzker has donated $51.5 million of his personal fortune to another committee supporting the measure.

When the opposition group launched last week, however, it argued that the state’s fiscal pressures won’t be entirely solved by the $3 billion in estimated revenue from the graduated tax rates, so more hikes would inevitably be needed down the line. It argued that might come in the form of raised rates for the middle class, even if the currently proposed rates do not take such an action.

The new rate structure would not change the necessary vote threshold in the General Assembly to raise taxes in the future, but the opponents argue it would be politically easier for lawmakers to raise rates when they are doing it for only certain tax brackets and leaving others unchanged.

“To cover all of Springfield’s spending and debt, the tax brackets

and rates will have to be changed to raise taxes on the middle class and even the working poor…,” Illinois Farm Bureau President Richard Guebert Jr. said in a news release after the launch. “So while proponents claim the progressive tax would only tax ‘the rich,’ many of whom are local leaders like family farmers who are investing in their communities and creating jobs, the truth is that this amendment will open up every Illinoisan to tax increases.”

While the corporate tax rate would go from 7 to 7.99 percent under the proposed rates, proponents say that small businesses earning less than $250,000 per year will see taxes lowered if they are passthrough entities such as S-corps or sole proprietors.

Ronit Golan, owner of Ronit’s Kitchen in Rockford, said July 15 in the virtual news conference she was a supporter of the graduated tax.

“Now, more than ever, in these uncertain times, it’s essential that we do everything we can to establish our economy and make things better for working people as well as entrepreneurs,” she said. “With just a slight increase for those making $250,000 or more a year, we can begin to address our state’s uncertainty.”

The opponents, including Republicans in the General Assembly and the Illinois Chamber of Commerce, however, argue that the flat tax does provide certainty for businesses and changes to it would have a negative impact on Illinois business owners.

With grocery store shelves occasionally empty, how many homes will do their best not to waste that food? The U.S. Department of Agriculture estimates a family of four loses $1,500 every year on uneaten food, about 1 pound of wasted food per person per day.

Reducing food waste is a shared responsibility where everyone can play a part. While food waste happens after shoppers take food home, losses also occur during growing, harvesting, processing and transporting foods. “The goal nationally is to reduce food waste by 50 percent by the year 2030,” says Kristin Bogdonas, University of Illinois Extension nutrition and wellness educator.

Food is at the center of many celebrations, meetings and life events, and is often an eye-catching feature of social media accounts. Consumers regularly share pictures of favorite meals from restaurants, successful recipes made at home and food purchased from the local farmers mar-

ket. Despite celebrating food, food waste remains high, says Bogdonas.

North American consumers lead the world in food waste.

“Small amounts of waste may go unnoticed over time,” says Bogdonas. “For this reason, consumers are encouraged to track their waste and reevaluate their habits at home and when dining out.”

Ways to Reduce Food Waste at Home • Check your kitchen food inventory before going shopping.

• At holidays, birthdays and office parties, serve less food or try a nofood event.

• Share meals at restaurants or order from the lunch or à la carte menus.

• Eat leftovers for lunch the next day, or freeze the rest for a quick meal another day.

• Use fresh fruits and vegetables first; then move to frozen, dried, and canned produce.

• Learn more about preserving op-

tions from the National Center for Home Food Preservation.

• Store foods with earlier “best-by” or “use-by” date towards the front as a reminder to use them first.

• Learn about storage techniques to keep foods fresher for longer, such as by using the FoodKeeper App developed by USDA. The University of Illinois Extension Nutrition & Wellness program encourages individuals, families and communities to live healthier through online and in-person skill sharing.

River Grove man gets 10 years for burglary Tips for reducing food waste

Patrick D. Kenneally, McHenry County state’s attorney, announced that 47-year-old William Bobiek of River Grove was sentenced July 17 to 10 years in the Illinois Department of Corrections by the Honorable Judge Wilbrandt following a negotiated plea of guilty.

Bobiek was sentenced as a Class X Offender on the offense of Residential Burglary, which generally is classified as a Class 1 Felony, carrying a sentencing range of four to 15 years in the Illinois Department of Corrections.

However, due to prior felony convictions, under Illinois law, Bobiek was sentenced to a Class X Felony, punishable by six to 30 years in the Illinois Department of Corrections. Bobiek will serve a three-year period of mandatory supervised release upon completion of his sentence.

On Oct. 14, 2014, Bobiek knowingly and without authority entered into the dwelling place of another in Lake in the Hills with the intent therein to commit a theft.

The investigation was conducted by the Lake in the Hills Police Department and was prosecuted by Taylor Nesbit of the McHenry County State’s Attorney’s Office.

No ComEd legislative hearings

BY CAPITOL NEWS ILLINOIS

The chairwoman of the Illinois House Energy and Environment Committee said last week she will not hold hearings to examine what impact Commonwealth Edison’s lobbying and bribery practices have had on utility ratepayers, rebuffing a request from two Republican lawmakers.

Instead, Rep. Ann Williams, D-Chicago, said in a statement Thursday, July 23, that she plans to introduce “tough new amendments” to the proposed Clean Energy Jobs Act next year “to ensure that we hold utilities accountable and take the politics out of setting fair energy rates.”

“A legislative committee is not the appropriate place to investigate a criminal matter currently under the jurisdiction of the U.S. Attorney’s office,” Williams said last week.

“As was the precedent during prior corruption cases, the House Energy and Environment (committee) will not hold hearings that could impede and interfere with an ongoing federal investigation.”

That statement came in response to a letter Monday, July 20, from Republican Reps. David Welter, of Morris, and Keith Wheeler, of Oswego, to Williams and Rep. Larry Walsh, D-Joliet, chair of the House Public Utilities Committee. That letter requested the two committees

hold joint investigative hearings.

Their letter was in reaction to ComEd’s public admission on Friday, July 17, that between 2011 and 2019, it awarded lobbying jobs and subcontracts to associates of House Speaker Michael Madigan as part of an effort to gain Madigan’s support for legislation beneficial to the utility.

Madigan has not been charged and has denied any wrongdoing.

But Welter and Wheeler argued that there is more at stake in the scandal than criminal matters. “(T)he issue of what impact ComEd’s activities had on ratepayers and state policy needs to be investigated,” they stated in their

letter.

Williams, who is the lead House sponsor of the Clean Energy Jobs act which aims at bringing the state to a 100 percent clean energy future, said in an open letter to her colleagues Thursday that she is working on amendments to that bill, including one that would end the automatic, formula-generated rate increases allowed in 2011 legislation.

“The era of utilities, nuclear and fossil fuel industries, and other big business groups dictating energy policy in Illinois are over,”

she said. “We can no longer allow corporate profits to come before efforts to create affordable and clean energy sources.”

In a separate statement last Thursday, Welter said he had spoken again with Williams in hopes of changing her mind about holding investigative hearings. He said that while there is bipartisan support for working on legislation to prevent future corrupt lobbying practices, he was disappointed that Democratic leaders were not willing to investigate the impact that past practices have had on ratepayers.

Upcoming 4-H events Marijuana sales create $52 million in state revenue in first six months

Sales reach $239 million total since legalization

By Jerry Nowicki CAPITOL NEWS ILLINOIS

Since January, Illinois residents and visitors have spent nearly $240 million on legalized recreational marijuana, producing $52 million in state revenue, according to a news release from the governor’s office.

Of that, $34.7 million came from excise taxes, while $18 million came from sales taxes.

Per the law, 8 percent of that revenue will be shared with local governments, while the Illinois Department of Revenue estimates $25.9 million from excise and sales taxes will be directed to the state’s General Revenue Fund.

Also under the law, 25 percent of revenues collected from recreational cannabis sales will be reinvested

through the R3 program (Restore, Reinvest and Renew) in communities that have been disproportionately impacted by the justice system, and to address substance abuse and prevention and mental health concerns.

The R3 program last week announced $31.5 million in grant opportunities to organizations working in historically underserved communities across Illinois.

“Illinois has done more to put justice and equity at the forefront of this industry than any other state in the nation, and we’re ensuring that communities that have been hurt by the war on drugs have the opportunity to participate,” Gov. JB Pritzker said in a news release.

The announcement signals prog-

ress for one of the legalization bill’s three main social equity measures.

Another, which is aimed at allowing groups from areas disproportionately impacted by the war on drugs to obtain an ownership stake in the industry, has stalled amid licensing delays caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.

A lead marijuana advisor to Pritzker has said September is a goal date for when new dispensary and craft grow licenses will be released.

Another key equity measure is expungements for low-level marijuana offenses, and the governor’s office said Pritzker is working with Chicago State’s Attorney Kim Foxx, the Illinois Prisoner Review Board, and Illinois state’s attorneys to advance those goals.
