Retail foods, food banks focus of study Food banks help alleviate food insecurity, and their contribution has become increasingly important during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Food banks receive supplies from many sources, including major food retailers, but little is known about their role in the food supply chain.

A team of researchers received a $500,000 grant from the USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) to study the relationship among food retailers, food banks, and food security.

“In this innovative project, we intend to figure out how the retail food sector intersects with the charitable food assistance sector. In other words, how the retail food sector supplies food to food banks,” says Craig Gundersen, distinguished professor of agricultural and consumer economics in the College of Agricultural, Consumer and Environmental Sciences at the University of Illinois, and co-principal investigator on the project.

Gundersen says food banks get their supplies from different sources. They purchase items such as rice, beans, fruits and vegetables at discounted rates from wholesalers.

They also receive donations from individuals as well as from major retailers such as Walmart or Meijer.

The grant project will study how food retailers’ decisions to discount, donate or discard perishable food products affect food banks. The researchers will combine retail scanner data with data on foodbank donations

and food insecurity data generated by Feeding America through their Map the Meal Gap (MMG) data initiative.

Gundersen works with Feeding America as lead researcher on MMG, which provides detailed data on local, regional and national food insecurity. He developed data collection methods and models to estimate

food-insecurity rates that comprise the MMG reports.

“Understanding the relationship between the retail food sector and the food banks is especially important during COVID-19,” Gundersen says.

“The pandemic has increased food insecurity and also strained the food supply chains with occasional food

shortages in retail stores. If the retail food sector is running low on food, it also means food banks are running low on food.”

Timothy Richards at Arizona State University leads the grant project, which includes researches from Illinois, The Ohio State University, and California Polytechnic State Univer-

sity.

The study aims to further understanding of food banks in relation to the food retail industry, food waste, and food security, and to provide policy recommendations on how to support and strengthen the interaction between food retailers and food banks.

What I learned from Vic

By Dr. Robert Kopp KOPP DISCLOSURE

Whenever I meet with pastors and other politicians, I often feel like borrowing a tune from Carly Simon and singing, “You’re so woke, you probably think this sermon’s about you. You’re soooooooo woke, I’ll bet you think this sermon’s about you, don’t you, don’t you?”

I don’t bother to talk about Nov. 3, 2020 anymore.

God’s always been against idolatry with an exclamation mark in Exodus 20 (You shall not make for yourself an idol or a likeness of anything in the heavens above or on the earth below or in the waters beneath the earth. You shall not bow down before them or serve them. – Exodus 20:4-5) and not so subtle reminder in 1 John 5:21 (Dear children, keep yourselves from idols).

Listening to sycophants for the contestants is getting really, really, really nauseating in a Revelation 2:4 and 3:16 kinda way.

That’s Revelation 3:16 not John 3:16 though it’s worth reading the latter again.

45’s fan club thinks he’s God’s other son.

The Trojan horse’s passiveaggressive enablers can’t admit he’s a few fries short of a happy meal.

It’s just another example of the extreme partisanship that’s killing the country and its churches, schools, and wherever two or three are not together in His name.

The art of conciliation that can be penultimate to reconciliation is fading along with any hopes of the White Sox ever winning another World Series.

Anyway, this is supposed to be about Vic. He was an extraordinarily successful entrepreneur in the South and an elder in a church that made the mistake of calling me to be its pastor long before I was vocationally experienced and emotionally stable enough to take it on.

It was one of two churches that had much, much, much more money than any church that I know of around here except, maybe, that Presbyterian bank, I mean church, in Chicago. Really, for example, the endowments and investments of any church in greater Rockford of any franchise or flavor would be like pocket change to ‘em.

I went to them because I learned in my ivy-laced seminary that somebody’s gotta minister to the rich.

I failed in one of them because that’s just not me. I have never

catered to money or position or anyone for two reasons.

The first reason which should be the second reason goes back to when my daddy called and asked what I thought about being at a particularly snobby and snotty university. I said, “They’re dumber than me. I think most of them got in because they’re legacies.”

The second reason which should be the first reason is God doesn’t like idolatry or giving the attention, affection and allegiance due God alone to anyone or anything else.

Back to Vic, he was a really, really, really good man.

Generous.

Great dad and absolutely faithful husband though he had lots of chances to cheat on his wife because, well, uh, he was rich and increasingly famous.

Wise.

That kinda stuff happens when you’re intimate with Jesus.

He tried to mentor me; but those were in my Alexander Hamilton days and I wasn’t listening. If I had let him mentor me, I might still be there and the people who have left the churches served since because I took ‘em away from them and gave ‘em back to Jesus wouldn’t have to hate me so much.

I’ll never forget when I got

into trouble because a really, really, really influential Southern sweetheart left the church because I hung out too much with our black custodians. I even went to Ruby’s soul food kitchen with them on many occasions. She also didn’t like the fact that I wouldn’t park in the reserved parking spot for me or sit in that big regal chair in the narthex during worship. Frankly, I think she didn’t like me most of all because I’m a Yankee. I also have this psychosomatic disease that makes me so irritable and irascible when it comes to some of the things that our government is directing us to do during CCP COVID-19. I’m iconoclastic.

Well, when Vic and I talked about it, he said, “Son, no matter how much you do for us, people are always going to blame you if someone leaves the church and they’re going to be angry at you when they like the people that leave. It may be their problem and they may not love us enough to overlook you and stay, but we’re always going to blame you because people have a hard time blaming themselves.”

Whoa.

It’s true.

I’ve been passing that on for the last 35 years to other pastors who

Slices of life

Making of the masks COVID-19 has changed so many things for so any of us. I haven’t been able to see my dad (in a nursing home) for four months. My daughter is quarantining for two weeks before the birth of her baby so we can’t see her family. My son lost his job. We are in a state of uncertains and unknowns about our youngest son starting college in less than a month.

These are unprecedented times – for all of us. We all have similar stories to tell, many more serious and hardship-laden than mine.

But let’s get to the most serious of subjects hitting us all in the face right now: masks. I never would have predicted I’d spend so much time contemplating masks and their comfort, efficacy and ability to make a fashion statement, but these are the days we are living.

Like just about everything in 2020, masks have proven to be polarizing. No matter what side of this particular polar vortex you reside on, you know, without a doubt, that the other side is 100 percent wrong. Am I right?

But I’m not going to get into that. I try to avoid angry topics

whenever I can. After four months of shut down and quarantine, I don’t have it in me to argue about masks.

(At least not two months before Halloween.)

And, whether you are pro or antimask there is one thing we can all agree. They are mandated in many, most and nearly all public places – depending on where you live.

I am a do-it-yourselfer so I initially addressed the mask issue with my sewing machine. My daughter was required to wear one during doctor’s visits. Essential workers needed them on the job.

We weren’t yet at the required-mask stage, still I was sewing. My first masks were, in a word, failures.

I made them too small, or too big.

I finally got the pattern right and made enough for my family. At this point I found myself completely out

mask from that. I also bought socks; I’d seen a couple of online tutorials showing how to make masks from socks – no sewing required.

Still, I had my no-elastic dilemma.

Then I hit on the obvious: rubber bands and ponytail holders. They are stretchy and elastic, similar to the real thing.

I restarted my mask tasking. I can make three nice ones from a scarf at the dollar store with only one straight and easy seam on the sewing machine. (It could also be hand-sewn.) I’m not as sold on the sock masks. They don’t require sewing, but they will fray in the wash. Rubber bands and ponytail holders work just as good as elastic – a happy discovery in these unhappy times.

Six months ago I never would have predicted I’d be mandated to wear a mask to the grocery store. I never thought I’d be colorcoordinating masks with my outfits, but we are living in a new reality.

And no matter what side of the mask debate you reside on, we can all agree on one thing: we might as well look good wearing them.

of elastic. And with the current and well-documented elastic shortage of 2020 I was stymied.

I paused in my mask-making adventures – for the moment.

Also (full-disclosure here) I attempt to be prepared for anything – pandemics included. So I already had a small stash of the homeimprovement masks available previously at the dollar store. (I’m guessing they’ve been sold out since April.)

Fast-forward a couple of months.

Masks started out on our outer radar but they are currently front and center. We are required to wear masks; therefore we are required to acquire masks. And as alluded to earlier, I like to be prepared.

A couple of days before masks were required at some major big box stores, my husband and I purchased a few bandanas – just in case of a pinch. Why have just one mask when you can have a dozen?

Besides, isn’t it important that a mask match or at least coordinate with your clothing?

Since I wasn’t totally satisfied with my first sewn masks, I went back to the drawing board.

We took a trip to the dollar store, and I kept my mask options open.

I found a long scarf and thought maybe I could fashion some sort of a

whine about people leaving their churches.

It’s never going to change.

That’s for heaven.

In the meantime, the only thing to do is get some peers around you to serve as an accountability group – authentic Christians who know everybody needs Jesus to save them because no one is pure and perfect in every way and needs to be alerted when they’re not loving Jesus by loving like Jesus.

With Matthew 18 as a pattern for reconciliation, we must always be prepared to be corrected by Jesus, Holy Scripture and the Holy Spirit who never contradicts Jesus by the book; or as a faithful person will say, “If you show me by Jesus, the Bible, and common sense that I am wrong and have not been truth-telling and truth-acting, I will confess, repent, and ask for your forgiveness.” Of course, don’t overlook the corollary like too many posers in pulpits and pews do to rationalize their likes over love and loyalty to God as revealed in Jesus by the book.

Let me put it another way.

You can be right about everything but wrong about Jesus and you are dead wrong and can lose your soul.

You can be wrong about everything but right about Jesus and you’ll find your way home.

I think that’s what Vic was really trying to explain to me.

That’s why I think it’s worth a few moments of your thought.

Historical account offers a glimpse of Pringle School The Pringle School was built in 1867 of limestone quarried at Garden Prairie and transported by wagon to the site. The land was donated by the Patterson Pringles, and is located at 21596 River Road in Marengo.

Much of the early history of Pringle School comes from a handwritten account by an anonymous writer, who was born in 1867 and was a student in Pringle School.

The account describes the interior of the building as being a very spare environment. Long benches having varying heights to accommodate different sizes were ranged across the room.

There were no backs on the benches which encouraged good posture and straight, strong spines. The highest bench for older children was at the back of the room – a boon for them as they could lean against the wall. There was no provision for writing surface, no paper to be used, until much later when brown wrapping paper served a second purpose, after being smoothed and cut for the children to use.

Enrollment in the years from 18701940s fluctuated from 10-25 students.

Books were scarce; even dictionaries were not always available. In the early history of the schools there was a fall and winter session attended by boys after harvest and before spring planting season. A summer session was held which was mostly attended by girls.

The students carried on attendance well into their teens as there were no high schools. Many of Marengo’s early community leaders were products of this educational system, passing from the local district, directly to higher education.

The 1870s account tells her teacher was Mary Wilson. This is the first in long line of Wilson females to serve as teachers in this school. Mary was the daughter of John and Margaret (Pringle) Wilson. Others of the Wilson family to serve as teachers were Edith, Marjorie, Margaret, Ruth, Jean and Kathryn. They derived from two generations of Wilsons. It is not surprising that the Wilson name became added to the school’s name.

One-room schools were administered by the county superintendent.

Teachers were required to fill out a detailed annual report, which contained attendance records, a detailed class schedule, student achievement levels and explanation for retentions. The teacher also maintained an accounting for petty cash in amounts under $10 for such purchases as bats and balls.

The county superintendent reviewed the reports, visited the schools, evalu-

ated both the physical conditions of the building and grounds and also the teacher’s performance. The schools held fundraisers for such things as rhythm band instruments, a radio and other classroom aids.

One of the most popular methods of raising money was basket socials.

Ladies young and old put together sumptuous meals in attractive baskets, which were auctioned off to the highest bidder, sometimes eliciting escalating prices between rivals for the basket of the most attractive maiden in the district. Students sold seeds to raise money.

Another unusual fundraiser was one carried out in Pringle School by Kathryn Wilson, who taught over 25 years in this school. The students were grouped into team of four students each and gathered walnuts in the autumn. They worked after school hours gathering, cleaning and packing the walnuts in pecks and sold them in time for the Christmas baking season.

Consolidation of one-room schools began in the 1920s in this county, but many remained in operation until 1947, including Pringle School. It became part of the Hawthorn School District 17 on Carmack Road.

The building was purchased by Melba Brewington, a Chicago connoisseur of antiques, art and glassware. She used the building as a residence until her death in 1967, when it was purchased by the DiBona family of Marengo. The historical society has owned Pringle School since 2002 and volunteers have undertaken its restoration and interpretation since then.

Reading through the record books which were collected by the county superintendent one can learn much about the world outside the four walls of the school, and how the outside events affected the school. For instance, in the year 1919, the school closed for five weeks in October and November due to the Spanish influenza epidemic.

School was suspended for half-days during the ’40s so that rationing books could be issued to community members.

Some of the earlier teachers were men, some of them teaching the fall and winter sessions and switching to their own farm work in the spring and summer. Women teachers filled the position during the summer sessions.

Later the profession was filled most often by unmarried women. If they married they were no longer eligible to accept employment. The last teacher in this school was in the late 40s and she was a married woman, Mrs. Roy Stockwell.

ways in which they creatively provide programming.” said Illinois Humanities Executive Director Gabrielle Lyon, PhD. “These organizations serve as anchors for our state’s history, culture and livability. They are central to our ability to reopen and rebuild – and, most of all, come back together in community.”

Funds for the relief grants are primarily provided by the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) through the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act of 2020 and supplemented by donations raised during Illinois Humanities’ May 21st Public Humanities Award event.

Grant recipients received awards of $2,500, $5,000 or $7,500 based on the organization’s budget size.

State unveils six-year road, bridge improvement plan without COVID-19 adjustments

By Jerry Nowicki CAPITOL NEWS ILLINOIS

MCCD PHOTO McHenry County News

Field Station Ecologist Dr. Thomas B. Simpson discusses the role animals play in the dispersal of acorns and how efforts can be made to reverse the decline in oak trees.

Oaks are a ‘vanishing legacy’ in McHenry County under ecological restoration, despite the fact that large canopy gaps created by the removal of invasive brush allow abundant sunlight to reach the ground surface. Understanding and facilitating natural reproduction is important to the progress of ecological restoration.

“In two experiments, we found that over 98 percent of the acorns in artificial caches located in dense, tall herbaceous vegetation were eaten by white-footed mice or meadow voles.

In these and other experiments, we showed that predation of acorns by white-footed mice and meadow voles is much less in short-statured vegetation or bare, open areas than in corresponding areas of tall grass.

“A survey of the spatial density of squirrel leaf nests in woods across McHenry County revealed that gray squirrels and fox squirrels are much less common in open canopy woods with tall, dense herbaceous vegetation than in closed canopy woods with sparse surface vegetation.

“Thus, high populations of mice and voles correspond to low populations of squirrels. At least one reason why squirrels are rare in woods with dense, tall herbaceous vegetation is that acorns cached in these locations are more likely to be eaten by mice.

“We then conducted two experiments to investigate the effect of manipulating surface vegetation on the acorn-caching behavior of squirrels and blue jays. In both we found that squirrels and jays cached acorns in bare, open areas in preference to areas of tall vegetation.

“Land managers can encourage the establishment of oak seedlings by providing bare ground or short-statured vegetation at the time of acorn dispersal.”

Gov. JB Pritzker joined Illinois Department of Transportation officials July 21 to unveil a six-year, $21.3 billion statewide road and bridge improvement plan that is an extension of the Rebuild Illinois infrastructure package passed last year by the General Assembly.

IDOT is tasked with unveiling a multi-year plan each year to detail how it will spend transportation dollars on state and local highway transportation systems. For the current fiscal year, the investment in road and bridge infrastructure totals $3.15 billion, according to the governor’s office.

Current funding levels would allow the multi-year plan to include 3,356 miles of road improvements and 8.4 million square feet of bridge deck in total over the next six years.

The infrastructure spending largely relies on revenue from the motor fuel tax—which was increased on July 1, as it will every year forthcoming under the new state law—among other driving-related fees.

According to an overview of the multi-year plan on the IDOT website, however, revenue estimates were not adjusted to account for economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and associated stay-at-home orders.

“Due to the unprecedented COVID-19 pandemic and national stay-at-home guidance, the reduced consumption of gas is expected to cause a decrease in motor fuel tax revenue that would be deposited into the state’s road and state construction fund,” according to IDOT’s summary of the plan. “It is not yet known what the actual decrease will be. There-

fore, no adjustments were made to the (multi-year plan).”

“The department will continue to monitor the data and make any adjustments deemed necessary as actual revenue impacts become known,” the summary continued.

While the attendees of a news conference unveiling the plan touted the Rebuild Illinois package, which passed in 2019, acting IDOT Secretary Omer Osman said the COVID-19 pandemic presented some unforeseen challenges.

“The multi-year plan keeps us on track during these uncertain times,” Osman said at an event in Collinsville.

“While we are not cutting or delaying projects at this time, we will continue monitoring the impact on future revenue to ensure we are investing taxpayer resources wisely. Clearly, COVID-19 is not going to be something that lasts for a few months, but likely impact our decision making for years to come.”

Despite the pandemic, Osman said, Pritzker allowed road work to continue by deeming construction workers essential in his executive orders.

That allowed year one of work on the Rebuild Illinois plan to continue despite state stay-at-home orders, so the first year of the plan saw $2.77 billion in improvements, with $2.15 billion to the state system and $616 million in the local system.

Included was 1,385 miles of road improvements in the state system— comprising 61 bridges and 157 safety improvements—as well as 321 miles of road improvements in the local system, including 67 bridges and 71 safety improvements.

Pritzker noted IDOT had developed

a plan consistent with the Federal Highway Administration’s Transportation Asset Management Plan standards.

“That standard puts an end to the practice of letting roads and bridges in Illinois deteriorate until they’re in just terrible shape,” the governor said. “Instead we’re investing on the front end, saving money for taxpayers.”

Among other projects, the first year of the plan included design work on an Interstate 80 bridge over the Des Plaines River that was deemed structurally deficient, resurfacing on state Route 251, widening and reconstruction on state Route 47, reconstruction on the Murray Baker Bridge in Peoria, construction and bridge repairs on Interstate 74, resurfacing on Interstate 55 and U.S. Highway 51, resurfacing and bridge repairs on Interstate 255, and completion of design for added lanes and bridge replacement on Interstate 57 in southern Illinois.

Pritzker touted the plan as one that would create jobs in a difficult economic climate in Illinois and across the U.S. “Even in a pandemic—especially in a pandemic—our transportation systems connect the lives of our residents and our communities,” Pritzker said. “…The Multi-Year Plan we’re announcing today provides funding to reconstruct over 3,300 miles of roads and over 8 million square feet of bridges—and, more importantly, create and support hundreds of thousands of jobs over the next 6 years for hardworking Illinoisans across our state.”

Projects for the plan are selected by safety criteria such as crash history, pavement conditions and traffic volumes.

In December 2007, the McHenry County Conservation District completed a two-year watershed study charting the distribution and change of oak dominated ecosystems county-wide from 1837 to 2005. The project utilized four separate temporal map layers in a geographic information systems (GIS) format to produce oak coverage in 1837, 1872, 1939 and 2005.

The layers, based on the public land survey, the 1872 McHenry County Atlas, and 1939 and 2005 aerial photography showed the dramatic loss of oaks from 143,000 acres (36 percent of the county’s land base) at the time of settlement to 18,000 acres (4.5 percent) in 2005.

Even more dramatic was the individual mapping of every remaining oak stand one acre in size or larger. Of 2,888 remaining stands countywide, less than 200 were 25 acres in size or larger and only eight contained 100 acres of contiguous oak cover or more.

This data mapping showed not only where oak remnants were lost to tree removal, but also to discern where residential development has fragmented oak remnants beyond their ability to maintain themselves as functioning natural communities.

The stark realities associated with oak loss revealed by the study have spurred a remarkable series of efforts by local agencies and volunteers to arrest and reverse the decline.

In 2018, McHenry County Conservation “District published Oak Reproduction in Midwestern Savannas & Woodlands: Understanding and Managing Acorn Dispersal,” written by Field Station Ecologist Dr. Thomas B. Simpson, who states: “Oak reproduction is often scarce or lacking in oak savannas and woodlands
