Jo Daviess County State’s Sabryna
Douglas Society of Freeport annual event Dr. Sabryna Cornish will be the guest speaker at this year’s annual ceremony commemorating the anniversary of the Freeport Lincoln-Douglas Debate. On Thursday, Aug. 25 at 6 p.m. in the large meeting room of Freeport Public Library, Dr. Cornish’s topic will be “Ethics in Social Media.” The event is open to the public free of charge. Currently Dr. Cornish is a Communications Specialist with ReaderLink, LLC, and prior to that she was an Assistant Professor in the Department of Communication and Media Studies at North Central College in Naperville, Illinois. She holds a Ph.D. in Communications Research from the University of Illinois at UrbanaChampaign.OnAug.27, 1858, Abraham Lincoln and Stephen A. Douglas met in Freeport for the second of their seven debates in their race for a United States Senate seat from Illinois. Douglas was the incumbent Senator, while Lincoln was trying to unseat him. The primary issue of what became known in history as the Lincoln-Douglas Debates, was the issue of the spread of slavery to new territories verses the issue of power of the Federal government to control that spread. The Lincoln-Douglas Society of Freeport, founded in 1929, has long sought to preserve the memory of the Freeport Debate, as well as foster the ideals of free speech and public discourse in a democracy. Prior to the main speaker, the Lincoln-Douglas Society will hold its annual membership meeting in the same room at 5:30 p.m. SSM Health at Home

Even though we are overall much better off than our grandparents in wealth, health and lifespan, many of us are unsettled, deeply concerned, even jittery about how the movie of life is playing out. Stop the world, I say, I want to get off. First, some context. From reptiles to humans, we animals are continually scanning the horizon for threats and opportunities. We absolutely crave information. That is why, according to research firm Statista, Americans on average spend four or more hours a day on our smartphones. Underneath, it’s a survival thing.When television came into our homes post-World War II, the world shrank. Prior
When life hands you a loss
Stop the world, I want to get off to that, we lived our lives largely confined, somewhat comfortably, to our own communities. By printed, rather impersonal newspapers we heard about earth-shaking events such as Krakatoa (1883) and recurrent wars in Europe.Today, thousands of satellites beam happenings worldwide to our pockets and wrists almost simultaneously, overloading our brains with mayhem and scary possibilities. Unsettling. Second, the rate of change in society has been accelerating lickety-split (a technical term). For most of human history, nothing, or very little, changed in the life span of most humans. Then, with the Renaissance in the 14-15th centuries, the Enlightenment, Industrial Revolution, flight, and radio-TV, change took off. Personal computers are only a few decades old (remember the Apple computer of the 1980s?), and Facebook has been with us less than 20 years.Third, the nano-world of science is incomprehensible to me, and thus unsettling. One thousand cells can sit side by side on a gossamer hair on the back of your hand, and within each cell is six miles of spooled DNA! And scientists can now, with some precision, snip into that coil of DNA, take out and replace defective genes. Magic.Fourth, information sells. After all, social media and advertisers are in the eyeball business. So, the social media platforms suck us into scrolling through our devices even more of the time. And when it comes to information, fear trumps nice every time. Again, a survival thing. For social media, this means, for reassurance, that on social media we tend to retreat into echo chambers of like-minded people. And we come to fear and loathe those who don’t agree with us. We call it Stoppolarization.theworld,I want to get off. But we can’t. So, what to do? What might calm the waters (and relieve my jitters)?Many of us retreat to Florida, and try to forget about all this. We love our grandchildren, we declare, yet leave what we have wrought for them to wrestle with.We could use, and might follow, a charismatic leader who would take us out of this scary morass. Yet, such captivating leaders can be either good or evil, as we have seen through history. Or, we could use a secular Great Awakening, such as the two, broad, religious revivals of spirit in early American history.Until recent years, I had hoped that Colin Powell might be that leader who would awaken the better angels of our nature. But it wasn’t to be, and I can’t think of anyone else of that reassuring, dignified and calmSo,stature.theopposite of giving up is “pitching in” to address our problems. We could start a new political party, which would be radical in the sense that its mantra would be, simply, “settle down, we can handle this, together.”
Life is hard. There are losses and endings of many kinds: Losses we are born with. Losses we learn to live with. Losses we hide. Losses that scar us. Losses we die with. There is loss of love. Loss of health. Loss of lifestyle. Loss of life. The end of a career. The end of a marriage. The end of a friendship. We all (ALL!) go through hard times. We all experience hard things during our journey on this earth. Death, taxes and hard times. We all have at least three things in common. I’ve asked myself the obvious question over and over: Why does it have to be this way, loss being so intertwined with life? I don’t like the answer, but I can only come up with one: It’s how it is supposed to be. Still, it most often sucks. We may feel alone in our own difficulties, but I promise you, everyone you meet is going through, has gone through or is about to go through a hard time. A test in life.Itdoesn’t seem right, from many perspectives, but maybe the hard times are opportunities. Maybe they are times we become capable of great growth and intense clarity.Maybe we didn’t have a choice in the loss of our current situation, but maybe we have a choice and a voice in its ultimate outcome. Maybe we are more in charge than we could possibly imagine.Embrace the maybe. Cling to the maybe. Make your maybe your possibility and then your reality It’s all about perspective. I’ve said this before: each of us gets to choose ours. It comes down to a few questions:WillIdwell on our one goodbye, or on our many hellos?DoI live in memory of my pain or the joy we built together?AmIunlucky because you left this earth, or was I lucky because we got to be here together?AmIa victim or survivor? Do I let the fire consume me, or do I rise from the ashes?Ican’t control my past, but who will control my future? When you are living it out in real time, these questions are not only real; they are overwhelming and true. They can be life-defining. No matter the tragedy, wrong or burden we carry, we have a choice of where, how By PertlerJill Columnist life

Regulatory work behind push for one million electric vehicles in full swing in Illinois to 1 million vehicles.” Challenges It’s a time of rapid growth for EV adoption, Lakhchaura said, with nearly 9,000 EVs added to state roads in the first seven months of this year, bringing the total number li censed in Illinois to 46,645 as of July 15. Still, there are challenges. “There is a lot of demand, there’s no doubt about it,” she said. “I think the problem right now is price, and buying an EV at this point in time, it’s very difficult. They’re sold out, there’s not enough that are being produced to meet these kinds of demands.”
• $9 million annually for outreach on the available pro grams;
By Jerry Nowicki Capitol News illiNois Ten months after Illinois lawmakers passed the Cli mate and Equitable Jobs Act which set a goal of putting 1 million electric vehicles on state roads by the end of the decade, state agencies are en gaged in a flurry of regulatory planning aimed at meeting thoseThegoals.effort to electrify the state’s transportation sector and ensure the power grid can meet increased demand in volves the Illinois Commerce Commission, Illinois Envi ronmental Protection Agen cy, the state’s Department of Transportation, and Illinois’ two largest public utilities, amongBetweenothers.those agencies and utilities, there’s hundreds of millions of federal, state and ratepayer dollars avail able for EV charging infra structure, vehicle rebates and other plans aimed at acceler ating EV adoption. While the regulatory force behind CEJA lies with several agencies, the task of ensuring all of them are working to gether lies in the hands of the state’s electric vehicles coor dinator.Thatperson is Megha Lakh chaura, who was appointed to the position officially on July 1 at a salary of $180,000 after serving in an administrative capacity at IEPA since April. She has previously served as the director of policy in North America for the elec tric vehicle supply company EVBox, policy director for the rooftop solar and battery storage provider Sunrun Inc., and public utilities regulatory analyst for the California Pub lic Utilities Commission. It’s a diverse private sec tor and regulatory experience which she said has helped her hit the ground running. “So the job is basically fig uring out how all of these pots of money work together,” Lakhchaura said in a recent interview with Capitol News Illinois. “What are the piec es that we have to look at? Where do we put our resourc es? How do we think of things comprehensively and having a comprehensive charging strategy for the state?” She praised the top-down vision laid out by the gover nor’s office and CEJA but said lawmakers and regulators will have to continue to adapt to meet the 1 million EV goal. “CEJA is a good starting step,” she said. “I think that it sets up some very good prac tices. …It puts out a road for utilities, it puts out a rebate for vehicles, for charging. It’s a good first step, but we’re go ing to have to do more to get
• $5 million annually for other pilot programs. Ameren Illinois’ plan is less extensive, including $2.2 million in current- and previous-year spending, and about $9.6 million in 2023 and 2024. It consists of some new programs and changes to existing programs to al low greater participation for multi-family homes. The plan included, among other things:
• $63 million annually for commercial and industrial programs, focusing on com mercial fleet and school bus electrification;
• A driver education pro gram offering financial assis tance for EVs and charging equipment in schools in eq uity investment communities; • A fleet assessment pro gram for private fleet, educa tion, and transit customers. The Ameren plan also mentioned its participation in the rollout of a national pilot program aimed at providing ride sharing opportunities and low-cost EV rentals for inhab itants of multi-family homes.
• Expanding existing timeof-use rate offerings and in creasing outreach efforts;
Outside organizations, such as the National Resource De fense Council, the Environ mental Law and Policy Center and others, will have the op portunity to suggest changes to the plans before the ICC approves them sometime next year.The utilities must then file an updated plan by July 1, 2024, and every three years thereafter.Alongwith overseeing the electrification plans, the ICC also last month issued the first draft of its Renewable Energy Access Plan, a long-term view as to what level of stress elec trification might add to the grid and how to alleviate it. One major challenge the REAP seeks to address is the fact that widespread electrifi cation of vehicle fleets, house hold appliances and more could require between 64 and 450 added terawatt-hours of electricity production in the state – a massive increase considering CEJA also aims to take fossil fuels offline by 2045.Afollow-up draft is due out later this year and will seek to fine-tune the load forecasting projections and determine how to best prepare for in creased demand. Other resources The state will also have a role in determining how $148 million in federal funding for charging infrastructure will be allocated. The Illinois Depart ment of Transportation began that process with a public meeting for stakeholder input on July 28. The money is meant to cre ate charging “corridors” to See VehicleS,

To defray cost, the state on July 1 launched a rebate pro gram through the IEPA that will provide up to $4,000 off for the purchase of an all-elec tric vehicle and $1,500 for an all-electric motorcycle. The current application window runs through Sept. 30, and those who purchased and EV must apply online within 90 days of the purchase date. As of July 1, the Electric Vehicle Rebate Fund had a balance of about $17.9 mil lion, with funds to be distrib uted once the portal closes. While many EVs remain expensive, Lakhchaura men tioned a cheaper model, the Chevy Bolt, which retails for just under $26,000 for a base model on the company’s web site. If a purchaser receives a state rebate on top of a $7,500 federal tax credit available for certain EV models, she said, the price point becomes more reasonable.Butthere are still other challenges, such as a global shortage of lithium and other materials needed for EV bat teries, she added. It’s something being ad dressed on the national stage with a $3.1 billion investment from the federal bipartisan infrastructure law to improve domestic commercial facili ties that produce EV batter ies and their parts. As well, President Joe Biden invoked the Defense Production Act earlier this year, an effort to increase U.S. independence in mining for EV-related min erals.“Yes, in the short-term, the next two, three years or so, demand is causing a short age,” Lakhchaura said. “But on the other hand, we are also gearing up and trying to solve this problem, not only nation ally but Negotiationsglobally.”in Congress were still ongoing Friday for an inflation reduction plan which included $369 billion in spending to combat climate change, including electrifica tion measures and renewable energy investment. Electrification plans On the state side, Lakh chaura said CEJA was meant to be forward-thinking, en suring that the grid and state policies adapt along with the rapidly evolving technology. A key piece in that effort is a requirement that the state’s two largest public utilities adopt beneficial electrifica tion plans for ratepayer-fund ed investment in incentives, education and infrastructure to support electrification. Among other things, the plans must focus on incentiv izing EV charging during offpeak hours to limit the effect on the grid, and electrifying heavy vehicle fleets, public transportation and school bus es.CEJA also requires charging infrastructure invest ment, with 40 percent of the plans’ spending in that area to be done in equity investment eligible communities, where pollution has historically been higher and economic opportu nitiesFundingfewer.for the plans can’t exceed a 1 percent charge on the distribution portion of a ratepayer bill, and the ICC can approve, deny or require changes to the plans. For Commonwealth Ed ison, serving 4 million cus tomers in northern Illinois, the proposed plan includes $300 million in programs from 2023 through 2025. Ameren Illinois, serving 1 million customers in central and southern Illinois, pro posed spending $11.8 million throughComEd’s2024.initial plan in cluded, among other facets:

From Lena’s Kitchen
Succotash has a long his tory in America. It was in troduced to the colonists ear ly after they landed by the Native Americans. It has a history of using inexpensive vegetables or end of season vegetables. Succotash was often served during the Great Depression because it was inexpensive and used every thing that was available. It is often made with lima beans, turnips, rutabagas, or pota toes. During the Depression it was made into a pie. This succotash uses green beans, zucchini, and corn as its base. The colorful cherry tomatoes make it an attractive side dish.
We certainly have had our share of storms this past week. The rain kept coming, and people who have never had water in their homes had wa ter. The cleanup and devasta tion is still being dealt with. Our flowers and gardens were drenched and are trying to dry out. This week will continue to feature recipes using pro duce from the season.

Place the rame kins on a sheet pan lined with parchment paper and bake for 40 to 45 minutes until the tops are browned and crisp and the juices are bubbly. Serve warm or at room temperature. Final Thoughts I was fortunate enough not to have a lot of storm damage. I always have water that comes through the cracks when the ground is saturated. Thank God for sump pumps! One of my teacher friends used to say that his sump pump running was music to his ears. I agree wholeheartedly with that statement. My heart aches for my friends in Lena who had water and sewer problems, and it breaks for my friends in Pearl City. Mother Nature again played a cruel trick on us. Our fields were beautiful and now have standing water. However, there are several things I know about where I live. People help each other. Numerous postings have told how people have come out to help those who needed it. As the Annie song goes, “The sun will come out tomorrow, bet your bottom dollar,” and we will survive. We are tough people who face challenges together. My hope is that we always live in communities that have this attitude about helping our neighbor. We are lucky that no one was hurt or killed, and we can keep on plugging away. We are soon coming up on Labor Day. If you have any recipes for a last of summer gathering, remember that we continue to seek good farm stand recipes. Remember if you have some good vegeta ble or fruit recipes for the sea son, send them our way. You can contact us in person, by mail at From Lena’s Kitchens, Shopper’s Guide at 240 W.

One Man’s Opinion
Two positive true stories offer his son some semblance of integrity. To do this, he would have to testify against the mob, and he knew the cost would be great, but he testified. Within the year, Easy Eddie’s life ended in a blaze of gunfire on a lonely Chicago street. In his eyes he had given his son the greatest gift he had to offer at the greatest price he could ever pay. The police removed from his pockets a rosary, a crucifix, a religious medallion, and a poem clipped from a magazine. The poem read, “The clock of time is wound but once, and no man has the power to tell just when the hands will stop, at late or early hour. Now is the only time you own. Live, love, toil with a will. Place no faith in time, for the clock may soon be still”. Story number two World War II produced many heroes. One such man was Lieutenant Commander Butch Ohare. He was a fighter pilot assigned to the aircraft carrier Lexington in the South Pacific. One day his entire squadron was sent on a mission. After he was airborne, he looked at his fuel gage and realized that someone had forgotten to top off his fuel tanks. He would not have enough fuel to complete his mission and get back to the Lexington. His flight leader told him to return to the carrier. Reluctantly he dropped out of formation and headed back to theAsfleet.he was returning to the mother ship, he saw something that turned his blood cold, a squadron of Japanese aircraft was speeding its way toward the American fleet. The American fighters were gone on a sortie, and the fleet was all but defenseless. He couldn’t reach his squadron and bring them back in time to save the fleet. Nor could he warn the fleet of the approaching danger. There was only one thing to do. He must somehow divert them from the Layingfleet.aside all thoughts of personal safety, he dove into the formation of Japanese planes. Wing mounted 50 calibers blazed as he charged in, attacking one surprised enemy plane and then another. Butch wove in and out of the now broken formation and fired at as many planes as possible until all of his ammunition was finally spent. Undaunted, he continued the assault. He dove at the planes trying to clip a wing or tail in hopes of damaging as many enemy planes as possible, rendering them unfit to fly. Finally, the exasperated Japanese squadron took off in another direction. Deeply relieved, Butch Ohare and his tattered fighter limped back to the carrier. Upon arrival he reported in and related the event surrounding his return. The film from the gun camera mounted on his plane told the tale. It showed the extent of Butch’s daring attempt to protect his fleet. He had, in fact, destroyed five enemy aircraft. This took place on Feb. 20, 1942, and for that action, Butch became the Navy’s first Ace of WWII and the first Naval Aviator to win the Medal of Honor. A year later, Butch was killed in aerial combat at the age of 29. His hometown would not allow the memory of this WWII hero to fade and today O’Hare Airport in Chicago holds his name in tribute to the courage of this great man. So the next time you find yourself at O’Hare International Airport, give some thought to visiting Butch’s memorial displaying his statue and his Medal of Honor. It is located between terminals 1 and 2. So, what do these two stories have to do with each other? Butch O’Hare was “Easy Eddies” son.

You would be hard pressed not to loveManythese.years ago, Al Capone virtually owned Chicago. Capone wasn’t famous for anything heroic. He was notorious for enmeshing the windy city in everything from bootlegged booze, and prostitution to murder. Capone had a lawyer nicknamed “Easy Eddie”. He was Capone’s lawyer for a good reason. Eddie was very good! In fact, Eddie’s skill at legal maneuvering kept Big Al out of jail for a long time. To show his appreciation, Capone paid him very well. Not only was the money big but Eddie got special dividends as well. For instance, he and his family occupied a fenced in mansion with live-in help and all the conveniences of the day. The estate was so large that it filled an entire Chicago cityEddieblock.lived the high life of the Chicago mob and gave little consideration to the atrocities that went on around him. Eddie did have one soft spot, however. He had a son that he loved dearly. Eddie saw to it that his young son had the best clothes, cars, and education. Nothing was withheld. Price was no object. Despite his involvement with organized crime, Eddie even tried to teach him right from wrong. Eddie wanted his son to be a better man than he was. Yet, with all his wealth and influence, these were two things he couldn’t pass on, a good name or a good example.Oneday Easy Eddie reached a difficult decision.
