Lena-Winslow baseball extends winning streak to thirteen Trenten Scheidegger CORRESPONDENT

The Lena-Winslow Panthers have hit their stride in the 2022 baseball season. After an 0-4 start, Le-Win has won thirteen straight, making the losing streak feel like a lifetime ago. The Panthers picked up four more wins last week, including an April 28 victory over the Orangeville Broncos.

Orangeville came into the matchup with a record of 0-11 as they have struggled through the 2022 season. In baseball anything is possible, however,

and the Broncos were hopeful to defend their home field by upsetting the 11-4 Panthers.

Le-Win had other plans in mind, however. The Panthers wasted little time getting on the scoreboard as they posted three runs in the top of the first inning. After a one-out triple

by Brody Mahon, Jake Zeal was hit by a pitch and Ethan Fye singled to left, allowing both Mahon and Zeal to score.

With two outs, Maddex Sargent roped a double to center field, driving in Fye and putting the Panthers up 3-0.

Mahon was also on the

mound for the Panthers, where he gave the Broncos trouble, early on. After holding Orangeville off the scoreboard through the first two innings, the Panthers would extend their lead in the top of the third. Following a walk to Fye, he would go on to steal second base and reach third by way of an error. Luke Benson then tallied his first run batted in of the game as a sacrifice fly to left put Le-Win up 4-0.

Orangeville would respond in the bottom half. A single

by Soddy, had the Broncos in a scoring situation. A single

by Thomm then loaded the bases with just one out, putting the pressure on Mahon on the mound. Mahon struggled to find the zone as he walked George, allowing the Broncos to score their first run. A wild pitch and a passed ball then allowed two more runs to come in as Orangeville now trailed just 4-3.

It would remain a one-run game until the top of the fifth when the Panthers tallied another run. It was Zeal’s aggressive baserunning that al-

lowed the Panthers to extend their lead. After taking a walk, Zeal would move up to second on a passed ball. He then advanced to third on a wild pitch and eventually reached home on a dropped third strike. The savvy baserunning put the Panthers up 5-3.

After holding the Broncos scoreless in the bottom half, Le-Win went back to tacking on some important insurance runs in the sixth. Rowen Schulz got the inning started with a leadoff walk. Shortly after, Ayden Packard doubled to right, driving in Le-Win’s

sixth run. An error on the following at bat would allow Le-Win to go up 7-3. Before the inning came to an end, Benson hit a single to the left side, driving in Packard and Drew Streckwald and putting the Panthers up 9-3.

Orangeville could not quite find the momentum they had struck earlier in the third inning. After getting within one, the Broncos watched as Le-Win’s lead grew and grew as the game came to an end.

Mahon’s pitching was the difference maker as he went six innings with just four hits and two earned runs allowed. Mahon struck out six and walked two during his outing. Wes Offerman came in for a solid inning of relief as he allowed zero hits and walked one in one inning of work.

Benson had a big day at the plate, driving in four runs while going one for three.

Packard was one for two with one RBI and Zeal was one for three with two runs scored and one RBI. Fye went one for three with two runs scored, one RBI, and two walks, as the Panthers got production from up and down the lineup.

Thomm led the way for the Broncos, going two for two with one run scored. Mackenzie was one for four with a run scored on the day, and Kloepping went one for three.

The Broncos will continue searching for their first win on Thursday, May 5, when they play host to the Aquin Bulldogs. The Panthers, now 134, will be in action that same night as they travel to face off with the Pearl City Wolves.

She always made time for her six grandchildren by babysitting, picking them up, going to ball games, playing cards, and watching movies at home. Every New Year’s Eve she had the grandkids come over for a party and spend the night. Her grandkids meant everything to her. She also enjoyed traveling. She had three special trips with her family and Rosie’s. The first trip was to Florida on the Amtrak train for Bob and Becky’s wedding. The second was out West to the Black Hills in a rented camper. The third was a trip to Mackinac Island in a van. Later she went to Jamacia for Kevin and Val’s wedding and to Las Vegas to Tom and Dahla’s wedding.

Spayed and neutered cats and dogs

Why should pets be spayed or neutered? Spayed and neutered pets are better behaved.

They are less likely to roam, yowl, wail, bite, or display aggressive behavior. Intact males will do just about anything to find mates including escaping the home, putting them at risk of injury or fights with other males. Roaming can expose the pet to dangerous diseases.

Overpopulation is another known reason. There not enough homes available for shelter animals, especially

cats. Spaying and neutering can help control the pet overpopulation crisis and reduces the number of strays.

Every owner of a dog four months or more of age who is a resident of the County is required to have the dog inoculated against rabies as denoted in the Animal Control Act. Every dog owner shall pay a rabies tag fee. An unaltered dog is $30 per year or $85 for a 3-year registration. A spayed or neutered (altered) dog is $18 per year or $50 for a 3-year reg-

IFB president: Sustainable solutions start in the field

By Richard Guebert Jr. ILLINOIS FARM BUREAU PRESIDENT

If you’ve ever planted a seed in your garden to watch it grow, you know how difficult it can be to create the right conditions to help it thrive. Maybe the plant needs more water, or has too much.

Maybe the soil around your house isn’t fertile enough, so you add potting soil.

Farmers make similar decisions while planting new crops each spring. Just like the choices you make from season to season impact how SUBMITTED PHOTO Rock Valley Publishing plants grow in your garden, River Ridge FFA Greenhand Izzy Haring and Cora Dit- the stewardship practices we tmar (Chapter President) assist third grader Dixi Palas use on our farms matter, too. with her chicken project after reading the book “The In agriculture, a sustainRunaway Chicken”. able future intertwines with environmental stewardship.

Farmers improve soil health and water quality using innovative solutions on their farms. They support clean energy solutions that benefit air quality and produce more with fewer resources.

River Ridge receives Ag in the Classroom Book Grant it. FFA Chapter officers did a book reading with the thirdgrade classes and gave each student a copy of the book to take home. They taught the third graders some basic chicken facts to promote agriculture literacy. In addition to the book activity students also made their own “paper ball” chicken craft to take home.

Farmers invest in soil health, water quality One way Illinois farmers explore new crop production techniques is through work with researchers, universities and industry partners.

Each year, farmers host on-farm trials through the Illinois Farm Bureau Nutrient Stewardship Grant Program to develop new management practices that protect the land.

These studies help growers in each county learn more about the production capabilities of soil in their regions.

In its seventh year, the program has committed over $150,000 to support more than 20 projects across Illinois. Based on voluntary efforts, such as planting cover crops to replenish nutrients in the soil and reduce surface runoff, farmers continue to make increasingly positive impacts on our natural re-

sources.

The goal is to balance maximum crop, and ultimately food and fuel, production with land management decisions that safeguard farmland for future generations of farm families.

Renewable fuels benefit consumers, environment While stewardship is important, so is agriculture’s contribution to cleaner energy solutions like biofuels.

Illinois farmers produce millions of gallons of cornbased ethanol and soy-based biodiesel annually. The supply of these alternative fuels is essential to a strong domestic fuel supply in the U.S., a fact highlighted by supply chain disruptions in recent years.

More biofuel production means more affordable, environmentally friendly solutions Americans can depend on.

Growing a bright future

with fewer resources Protecting the environment also means growing more food and raising more livestock with fewer resources than ever before.

Without the technological advancements and climate-smart practices used in modern agriculture, farmers in 1990 would require more than 100-million more acres to grow what we do today.

That’s significant because the number of acres used in production agriculture decreases each year, while demand for food, fuel and fiber increases exponentially.

Livestock farmers have also found new ways to do more with less by improving barn construction and reimagining waste management.

Farmers who raise pigs, dairy and beef cattle often recycle the nutrients found in animal manure back into crop production on their farm. Many growers have also tapped into the benefits

of using cover crops by using them to replenish their soils between corn and soybean rotations and repurposing them as forage for livestock.

Agriculture, environmental needs are connected As Illinois farmers take to the fields to plant fresh crops this spring, it’s only fitting that Earth Day is this month.

While this year’s celebration officially took place on April 22, farmers make decisions every day to balance the needs of crops and livestock on their farms. Their work supports a steady supply of ag products that people rely on and protects the integrity of farmland they hope to one day pass on to the next generation.

Juvenile aggravated robbery

On April 23, around 12:24 p.m., officers of the Freeport Police Department responded to a robbery call in the 400 block of W Douglas. During the investigation, officers learned that a juvenile victim had come to Freeport in response to a

social media sale of an iPhone. During the exchange, the suspect, a 16-year-old male from Freeport, removed a handgun from his pocket and robbed the victim of cash and an iPad. The handgun was later determined not to be real.

Slices of life

Gratitude in the everyday

Today I was overwhelmed by a feeling of gratitude. This isn’t a given for me at this point in my life. Sometimes I feel the opposite of gratitude; for that I am sorry.

I have been given much.

I have been loved much. My life, for the most part has been wonderful. I was born in a country where much is wonderful and much is taken for granted.

I flip the light switch and my room is illuminated, any time day or night all 365 days of the year. I turn on the faucet and have access to an unlimited amount of clean drinking water. Sometimes I am so entitled I think my clean drinking water isn’t good enough and I purchase water that is purported to be even cleaner. Showering every day is a given not a luxury.

I have machines that wash my clothes, dishes and floors.

I have a reliable car that starts when I turn the key. It brings me to the superstore where I have practically unlimited access to food.

This car operates on gasoline.

Sometimes I complain about the prices, but I can purchase as much as I want, so long as I have the money or credit card. I have a bed to sleep on every night. It has comfy pillows and blankets. I’ve been sleeping well.

When it is very cold I have heat to keep me warm.

When it is very hot I have air conditioning to keep me cool.

My fridge and cupboards hold more than enough food for me to eat. I can chose what I eat every day based on what I’m craving or what sounds good. I have the luxury of thinking about diet and exercise and how they can keep me healthy. I have the time to improve both in my life.

And I haven’t touched on the two most important aspects of all: people and nature.

I have friends and family who love me. Yeah, they do and I know it without a shadow of a doubt. My kids and grandkids want to spend time with me. They value my existence that much. How beyond wonderful is that?

long or communicate without electricity. Scary to think about. But we must.

In 2015, respected journalist Ted Koppel published Lights Out, a sobering account of our nation’s lack of planning for a cyber-attack that takes down one or more of our three major electricity grids (basically, East, Midwest, West). Koppel’s well-placed sources say the grids are a half-century-old, and vulnerable. The experts Koppel talked with observe, soberly, that such an attack is not a matter of if, but when.

Koppel reports there are nations and, maybe worse, freelance hackers, who know how to knock out electrical grids, just as the U.S. and Israel

knocked out Iran’s nuclear operations a few years back.

After interviewing the top cyber and political authorities in our nation, Koppel concludes that no serious planning is being done, because: 1.) government and private electric producers don’t want to share vital information; 2.) the scope of how to provide for millions of people for weeks or months is too vast to get our arms around, and 3.) we’ll wait until an attack actually happens, then we’ll try to figure out what to do. By the way, what will you do if you are without electricity for weeks, even months?!

The best of three leaders on the world stage

By Jim Sacia In the 21st century it is hard to imagine a civilized country openly invading a neighboring democratic country with no provocation. We are seeing it happen with Russia invading Ukraine on numerous fronts.

We have all watched in awe for months as Russia continued to amass troops all along the Ukrainian border under the guise of “training exercises”.

Then on February 24, 2022 all hell broke loose.

I think we all, at least down deep, suspected that Russia’s leader Vladimir Putin recognized that now is the perfect time to recreate the old Soviet Union. He has let the world know for some time that that was his goal. He is a practical and calculating man and an evil monster. He knows what

he wants, and he has a very good idea how to get it. He has played the world like the finest Stradivarius violin. The good citizens of Ukraine continued “business as usual” as the Russian build up on their boarder grew each day. Certainly, a false sense of security prevailed. After all, Russia and NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organization) signed an agreement in 1997 called the Founding Act on Mutual Relations Cooperation and Security which would be a road map for would be NATO Russia cooperation. That agreement is 25 years old.

Putin first became President of Russia in 1998, one year after the agreement was signed.

Letter to the editor Thank You

I would like to thank everyone for the support they have shown me since my accident. On Saturday, Feb. 5, I was sledding with a Scout Troop when I hit my head on a tree knocking me unconscious. An ambulance was called, and I was taken to Saint Francis Hospital in Peoria where they drilled two holes in my skull to release pressure on the brain.

As my condition worsened, I was given last rites and put on a ventilator.

I was in the hospital for three weeks. I have no memory of the first two weeks. I was released from the hospital on Feb. 2 but needed to stay with family for the next two to three months to help my brain recover.

I would like to give special thanks to JR Jacobs and Darryl Canon for hosting a meat raffle on my behalf where the LeWin Football team, Wolf Hollow Golf Course, and Becker Superior donated items that were raffled off as well. I would also like to thank the high school students for creating and selling a t-shirt for the sectional wrestling tournament.

I have been overwhelmed with support from this community. Please accept my thanks for all this kindness and consideration. All the kindness you have shown me has humbled me. Thank you.

Sincerely, Jason March

Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania are former Soviet Union members.

In simple terms, Russia, or better stated, Putin, wants Ukraine back in the fold. We are told that there are near riots throughout Russia as some citizens react to the Russian military attacking Ukraine. Rest assured, those protesting were quickly locked away.

Sometimes in life, there are no solutions. Thus, the brain tells us, rationally you might say, to put the likelihood of apocalypse out of our minds.

This doesn’t mean we shouldn’t try, that is, demand that Congress and the President develop an expensive, comprehensive plan. Sometimes, as with Civil Defense efforts to protect against a nuclear attack during the Cold War, the value lay in the message sent, as possibly a deterrent—that America was ready to respond, somehow, to a nuclear attack, then regroup, resist and retaliate.

So, I checked in with a top local emergency professional, to see what is being done at the county level. Mat Schnepple is the director of the Office of Emergency Management for Henry-Stark counties in central Illinois. With deep experience as a fire chief, paramedic, and hazardous materials commander, Mat is a blend of earnest Boy Scout and Chicago Bears linebacker. Welltrained, decisive. The kind of guy you want in charge when things go down.

Mat says his teams of professionals and volunteers are ready to respond to 72-hour electric outages, with water, food, shelter, health care. But when I ask about blackouts that might last weeks, even months, to millions of people, Mat’s voice kind of trails away.

As for us citizens, Koppel says we haven’t even reached the stage of apathy, which is vague awareness of the prob-

From Lena’s Kitchen The not so skinny cook

We still are fighting the cool weather. May came in cool and quiet. Several of my friends and I had the discussion about being one week behind. We all think that Mother’s Day should be a week later. It is unusual that the Kentucky Derby and Mother’s Day are so close together.

Remove from heat. Add tea bags and mint; steep for 10 minutes. Strain mixture and discard tea bags and mint.

Pour strained tea in 2 qt. water; place the orange juice and lemon juice in a pitcher. Add the tea and water to the pitch-

My church friend, Jane, has the best breakfast casserole.

You can make it the night before and have it ready to put in the oven after church. It would be a great brunch recipe for Mother’s Day. 1 lb. sliced bacon, diced 1 sweet onion, chopped 4 C frozen shredded hash brown potatoes, thawed 9 eggs, lightly beaten 2 C. shredded Cheddar cheese 1½ C. small curd cottage cheese 1¼ C. shredded Swiss cheese Preheat the oven to 350.

Grease a 9 x 13 baking dish.

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat; cook and stir bacon and onion until bacon is evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain. Transfer bacon and onion to a large bowl.

Stir in potatoes, eggs, Cheddar cheese, cottage cheese, and Swiss cheese.

Pour mixture into prepared baking dish. Bake in preheated oven until eggs are set and cheese is melted, 45 to 50 minutes.

Let stand 10 minutes before cutting and serving.

Honey Lime Fruit Salad

This fruit salad is a colorful combination of colors with a refreshing dressing that is light. Many fruit salads have pudding, yogurt, sour cream, or whipping cream. This salad is refreshing and beautiful on a brunch table.

1 lb. strawberries, chopped 1 lb. chopped fresh pineapple 12 oz. fresh blueberries 12 oz. red grapes, sliced

Rhubarb Torte

Several people have been asking for rhubarb recipes.

So we begin this week with the spring rhubarb dishes.

The first one is a dessert that looks great because of the meringue. You use both the yolks and whites in this recipe. Enjoy the first of several weeks of rhubarb good eats.

Incidentally, The Dental benefits of breastfeeding Dr. Stephen Petras AN ILLINOIS LICENSED GENERAL DENTIST

As Mother’s Day approaches, I thought I would share with you some of the many benefits that breastfeeding can provide for both mothers and their infants.

There are a number of reasons that the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends breastfeeding for the first year of a child’s life.

Breast milk provides your child with all the nutrients they require to grow healthy bodies. Components in breast milk support brain development, provide both immediate and life-long immunities, reduce inflammation and help fight infections. Breastfed babies have a reduced risk of sudden infant death syndrome, allergies, asthma, ear infections, diabetes, and obesity.

Research has shown that babies who are exclusive-

ly breastfed for the first six months of their lives were 72% less likely to develop a malocclusion (trouble with the bite) due to the differences in the sucking process between breast and bottle feeding. Breastfeeding encourages nasal breathing while guiding optimal tongue position and stimulating the lower facial muscles. These actions help guide the optimum formation of the jaw, oral muscles, and palate.

Breastfeeding also helps prevent tooth decay. In contrast to bottle-feeding, where juice, formula, or milk (all of which contain sugar) pass over the teeth, when an infant breastfeeds, the nipple is drawn deep within the baby’s mouth and the milk is projected to the back. While the nursing child must swallow before any further milk will be expressed, liquids in a bottle can leak out even when a child is not sucking. If the

baby does not swallow, those sugary fluids just sit, bathing the teeth. Breast milk also contains calcium and phosphorous to strengthen teeth, as well as components that inhibit the growth of the strains of bacteria that are most commonly associated with caries (cavity) formation.

In short, almost all incidences of decay in infants are related to the sugars in foods or liquids other than breast milk. Keep this in mind if you choose to bottle feed or as you wean your child from breastfeeding. Even if you can’t see them, your baby is born with all twenty of their primary (baby) teeth. Whether bottle or breastfeeding, wiping your child’s mouth out with a damp cloth after each feeding helps to prevent decay, establish a lifelong habit of oral care, and helps to prepare them for toothbrushing. As soon as that first tooth erupts, start brushing with a

child-size toothbrush.

Breastfeeding also offers benefits for Moms. Research has shown that mothers who breastfeed have a reduced risk of developing breast and ovarian cancer. They also tend to recover faster than women who choose not to nurse their babies. Breastfeeding burns calories, utilizes stored fat to create breast milk, and encourages you to maintain a healthy diet and stay hydrated. All of which can aid in losing pregnancy weight, avoiding type two diabetes, and maintaining oral health.

Maintaining your oral health is critical in promoting your child’s oral health because you can transfer bacteria to your infant through kissing or sharing a spoon.

Two other important benefits to consider, especially in light of soaring grocery costs and recent incidences of contaminated formulas, breast milk is free and safe.

Pritzker signs bills aimed at easing teacher shortage amid data suggesting progress Statewide vacancy rate was 1.5 percent in 2021, according to ISBE

By Peter Hancock CAPITOL NEWS ILLINOIS

Gov. JB Pritzker signed a package of bills last week aimed at easing the state’s shortage of teachers and other education professionals, even as a new report shows Illinois just added a record number of new teachers to its ranks.

Speaking in the library of Springfield High School just blocks from the Capitol, Pritzker said that while the education workforce picture is improving, more work still needs to be done.

“In Illinois, schools still have more than 2,100 unfilled teaching positions statewide,” he said. “That includes 15 unfilled teaching slots here in Springfield and 64 in Decatur, with similar need for paraprofessional positions.

With new tools though, and new funding at their disposal, districts all across the state are working to find new ways to bring people into this profession and to encourage them to stay there.”

pear to be having an impact.

ISBE’s most recent Unfilled Positions Survey, released April 21, shows Illinois schools hired a record 5,676 new teachers in the fall of 2021, the most ever recorded in a single year and more than in the past five years combined. That was enough to lower the statewide vacancy rate to just 1.5 percent.

But the survey also showed schools in Illinois still have more than 2,100 unfilled teaching positions, mostly concentrated in chronically struggling schools, underfunded schools and those serving low-income communities.

“Our low-income, bilingual and special education students have the least access to the teachers they need to grow and thrive,” State Superintendent Carmen Ayala said at the news conference. “We also have a severe shortage of substitute teachers, as was noted, and need an additional 2,400 paraprofessionals to fully meet our students’ needs in the classrooms.”

A survey conducted in 2021 by the Illinois Association of Regional Superintendents of Schools found 88 percent of local school districts believed they had a teacher shortage problem while 96 percent reported problems finding enough substitute teachers.

Pritzker signed four bills, including House Bill 4246, which lowers the cost of renewing a lapsed educator license to $50 instead of $500; House Bill 4798, allowing currently enrolled teaching students with at least 90 credit hours to be licensed as substitute teachers; Senate Bill 3988, lowering the minimum age to become a paraprofessional in grades eight or below to 18 instead of 19; and Senate Bill 3907, allowing short-term substitute teachers to teach up to 15 consecutive days in a classroom instead of just five.

Those bills come on top of numerous other measures the state has taken in recent years to lure more people into the teaching profession.

Pritzker noted that the budget bill he signed into law April 19 increases funding for minority teacher scholarships to $4.2 million. And starting next year, the minimum annual salary for first-year teachers will increase to $40,000 due to a bill he signed in 2019.

“That law, combined with proper funding and all the work to remove barriers for qualified people to enter this profession, is increasing the ranks of teachers across our state even now,” Pritzker said.

According to a new report from the Illinois State Board of Education, those efforts ap-

Rhubarb Oat Bars

Looking for a rhubarb recipe that is easy to make and easy to serve? This recipe is a great bar recipe using the seasonal rhubarb that combines sweetness and tartness.

1½ C. chopped fresh or frozen rhubarb 1 C. packed brown sugar, divided 4 T. water, divided 1 t. lemon juice 4 t. cornstarch 1 C. old-fashioned oats ¾ C. flour ½ C. sweetened shredded coconut ½ t. salt 1/3 butter, melted.

In a large saucepan, combine the rhubarb, ½ C. brown sugar, 3 T. water and lemon juice. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium; cook and stir for 4 to 5 minutes or until rhubarb is tender. Combine the cornstarch and remaining water until smooth; gradually stir into rhubarb mixture. Bring to a boil and stir 2 minutes until thickened. Remove from the heat and set aside.

In a large bowl, combine the oats, flour, coconut, salt and remaining brown sugar; stir in butter until crumbly.

Press half of the oat mixture into a greased 8-inch square baking dish. Spread with rhubarb mixture. Sprinkle with remaining oat mixture and press down lightly, Final Thoughts As we get ready to celebrate Mother’s Day, it is a good day to reflect on what mothers mean to our lives. For those of you who are lucky enough to still have your mothers, you are lucky to be able to tell her all the “dumb” things that just pop up. I especially miss my mother when I write this col-

umn because she and I shared a love of cooking. When I have a cooking question that I know she would have known the answer to, I get a bit nostalgic. I was blessed to have a good relationship with my mother, and I know that was a gift. I hope you all have a great Mother’s Day for those of you who are lucky enough to celebrate it with mothers and grandmothers. Remember that the day before is the running of the horses. I have to find out who is running in that Kentucky Derby. I won’t have any money on any horses, but it is one of the shortest sporting events we have. If you want instant gratification (even though they have hours of pre-race programming), that race is the sporting event for you! Hopefully the warmer weather will get us some spring vegetables as we race through May. Remember we are looking for those rhubarb recipes.

Pritzker lifts public transportation face covering requirement Decision followed a federal court ruling striking down CDC mandate

By Grace Kinnicutt CAPITOL NEWS ILLINOIS

Gov. JB Pritzker officially lifted the state requirement that face coverings be worn on public transportation April 20 after a federal judge overturned the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention mask mandate.

U.S. District Judge Kathryn Kimball Mizelle of the Middle District of Florida ruled last week that the federal mask mandate was unlawful since it exceeds the authority of the CDC. The ruling comes about a week after the CDC extended the mask mandate through May 3.

Masks are no longer required on public transit, in public transit hubs or at airports, but local governments still have the right to maintain their own face covering requirements on public transportation.

Pritzker’s order now only requires masks where they are federally mandated, as

well as in congregate facilities and health care settings.

“I’m proud of the work our state has done to fight COVID-19 and protect our most vulnerable,” Pritzker said in a news release. “I continue to urge Illinoisans to follow CDC guidelines and, most importantly, get vaccinated to protect yourself and others.”

Following Pritzker’s announcement about revising mask requirements, the Chicago Metra and CTA announced that masks will no longer be required, effective immediately. The Chicago Department of Aviation, which oversees O’Hare and Midway International Air-

ports, also announced that masks are no longer required.

A number of major U.S. airlines such as Delta, United and Southwest immediately dropped the requirement following the court ruling as well.

The CDC continues to recommend face coverings for those who are immunocompromised, people who can’t be vaccinated and in areas of high transmission.

Amaal Tokars, acting director of the Illinois Department of Public Health, said in a news release that the department continues to closely monitor COVID-19 cases throughout the state and is

working with local public health partners to keep the public informed.

The Illinois Department of Public Health reported 3,931 confirmed and probable cases of COVID-19 and nine deaths on April 20—the highest one-day case count since Feb. 11. There were 568 individuals hospitalized for COVID-19 as of April 19, 61 in intensive care beds and 29 on ventilators, all of which remained near pan-

demic lows.

More than 21 million vaccine doses have been administered with about 73 percent of Illinois residents age 5 and over fully vaccinated against COVID-19.

“The best way to protect yourself and your loved ones is to remain up-to-date on your vaccinations, and that includes booster shots, especially for those who are at risk for more severe health outcomes,” Tokars said.
