Elmhurst University receives $3.4 million ‘game changer’ grant for serving Hispanic students

Elmhurst University has been awarded a $3.4 million federal grant that will supercharge the Universi ty’s support of its Hispanic and un derserved students and includes the establishment of a Center for Excel lence and Achievement on campus.

“I am so excited for the opportuni ties this grant will create—not only

for our Latino and Latina students, but for our entire campus commu nity,” said University president Troy VanAken. “Our students’ success is the ultimate testament to our mission as an institution.”

The University will immediate ly begin utilizing the Title V grant, named La Promesa Azul (The Blue

Catholic theological union president to deliver Bernardin lecture

Sister Barbara Reid comes to Elmhurst University on Oct. 25

Sister Barbara Reid is the first woman president of Catholic Theo logical Union. Her historic appoint ment in 2020 reflects the Church’s growing recognition of the vital con tribution of women to the life of the church.

On Tuesday, Oct. 25 at 7 p.m., Reid will give this year’s Joseph Cardinal Bernardin lecture, “Can We Talk? What We Can Learn from the Scriptures and Cardinal Bernar din About Encountering ‘the Other’ Across Boundaries of Difference.” It will take place in the Frick Center, Founders Lounge on the campus of Elmhurst University.

Her talk will explore what we can learn about moving from fear, po larization and demonization of “the Other” to forging bonds of friendship across boundaries of difference.

“We will reflect on Jesus’ encoun ter with the Samaritan Woman (John 4:4-42) and the Canaanite Woman

(Matt 15:21-28),” she said, “and on Cardinal Bernar din’s Catholic Common Ground Initiative, which aimed to bring together Catho lics with differing views to engage in constructive di alogue in order to dissolve fear, po larization and distrust.”

A Dominican Sister from Grand Rapids, Mich., Reid has taught at CTU since 1988 and is the Carroll Stuhlmueller, CP, Distinguished Pro fessor of New Testament Studies.

Admission is free and all are wel come. Reservations can be made at elmhurst.edu/cultural. For more in formation, email marketing@elm hurst.edu. This event is part of the Religious Literacy Project at Elm hurst University.

Promise): Creating Opportunities and Enhancing Resources to Assure and Sustain Success for Hispanic and Underrepresented Students at Elmhurst University, to increase its efforts in the areas of student success and equity.

Project goals include creating the new Elmhurst Center for Excellence and Achievement/Centro para la Ex celencia y el Logro.

The Center is envisioned as a “one-stop shop” that can assist stu dents and their families—not only academically, but also with social services that help remove barriers to pursuing an education.

Other goals include:

• Supplementing the first-year seminar (FYS) program to ease stu dents’ transition to college.

• Hiring additional staff to engage with community-based organizations and other external resources.

• Establishing an endowed fund to help students participate in intern ships, study away programs, research projects and service learning.

• Providing faculty development on culturally responsive pedagogy.

The grant comes after the Universi ty was designated a Hispanic-serving Institution last year by the U.S. De partment of Education. For the past

few years, more than one-quarter of Elmhurst’s 2,800+ full-time under graduate students have identified as Hispanic and Latino or Latina, meet ing one of the primary qualifications to attain HSI status. The designation enabled Elmhurst to apply for federal Title V grants.

“While our commitments to fully embracing our designation as a His panic-Serving Institution were ce mented with or without receiving the grant, our being awarded the grant is a game changer allowing us to move forward with greater intentionality and speed,” vice president for equity and inclusion Bruce King said.

Impaired driving is scary

Police in Villa Park are on the lookout for drunk and drugged driving this Halloween

The Villa Park Review is published every Thursday by Rock Valley Publishing, LLC, 240 N. West Avenue, Elmhurst, IL. 60126.

The Villa Park Police Department urges motorists to commit to sober driving this Halloween, when chil dren and their families will be walk ing through neighborhoods after dark in search of candy and spooky fun. If you will be out scaring up a good time, remember to plan for a sober ride home.

Villa Park police will join other law-enforcement agencies around the state to conduct increased patrols during the upcoming Halloween pe riod. The holiday enforcement cam paign is funded by federal highway safety dollars administered by the Il linois Department of Transportation.

“Alcohol and marijuana impair not only your ability to drive safe ly, but also your decision-making skills,” said Villa Park Police Sgt. James Cihak. “That’s why it’s so im portant to know how you’ll get home

before you leave for the party. Plan ahead to help keep yourself and oth ers safe.”

The Villa Park Police Department urges everyone to follow these sim ple tips to help keep our roads safe this Halloween:

• Plan a safe way to get home before you attend a party. You can designate a sober driver, take pub lic transportation, use your favorite ride-sharing service, or call a sober friend or family member to get home.

• Walking while impaired can be just as dangerous as driving im paired. Designate a sober friend to walk you home.

• If you see an impaired driver on the road, contact local law enforce ment as soon as it is safe to do so.

• If you see an impaired person about to drive, take their keys and help them get home safely.

FPDDC reminds motorists to be alert for deer in roadways

The Forest Preserve District of DuP age County reminds drivers to slow down and stay alert to avoid collisions with deer this fall, when the risk of ac cidents dramatically increases.

“October through December is deer-breeding season, and these large animals won’t think twice about crossing busy roads in their search for mates, especially around dusk and dawn,” says Forest Preserve District ecologist Brian Kraskiewicz.

But there are steps drivers can take to lower the risk.

• Reduce your speed and watch for deer on the edge of the road, especial

Cronin. “These grants are aimed at programs which provide measurable solutions that lift people up, paving a path to stability and changing lives.”

“DuPage Foundation is pleased to work with the DuPage County Board to use our understanding of County needs and our experience working with the local not-for-profit organiza tions to effect lasting transformational change for residents who have been adversely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic,” said DuPage Foundation President and CEO Dave McGowan.

“We’re pleased that these grants lay the groundwork to reshape how we deliver critical services to those most in need in our community.”

In January of 2022, the DuPage County Board executed an agreement to allocate federal funds received through the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) to DuPage Foundation for the grant program. Through 2026, the DCTP Fund will award $10 million in grants to address immediate and longterm needs in the community in re sponse to the COVID-19 health emer gency. In February, the DCTP formed a committee comprised of Foundation and County staff, Board members and volunteers to design the grant program and review applications.

ly around curves and during dawn and dusk. They’re common along woods, fields, fencerows, and waterways, but you can encounter them almost any where.

• Make note of where you’ve seen deer before. Look for deer-crossing signs, too, which mark areas where collisions are likely to occur.

• Don’t assume a deer in the road will run off as you approach. It may bolt but then quickly change direction without warning.

• If you see one deer, be on the look out for more. They can move in pairs or larger groups.

• Don’t use your horn unless a col lision looks inevitable. Distant noise may confuse the deer. Close noise may produce an extra burst of speed from the animal, but there really is no way to predict how a deer will respond.

• Do not swerve to avoid deer; it could result in a more severe crash. Slow to a stop and wait. Flash your headlights to encourage the animal to move.

• If your car has an automatic emer

gency braking system, don’t rely on it. It may not be designed to recognize large animals.

If an accident does occur, drivers and passengers should not attempt to remove dead or injured deer from busy roads. Instead, they should contact lo cal law enforcement for help. Illinois law requires drivers to report to police any deer-related accident with more than $1,500 in damage.

According to State Farm insurance, Illinois ranked 36th in the nation for deer-vehicle accidents during the 2021-22 season, and a driver in the state had a 1-in-137 chance of having a collision.

Willowbrook played its only home match of last week on Oct. 13, when it faced Oak Park/ River Forest. The Warriors earned a narrow 2523, 25-22 win over the visiting Huskies.

“It feels good to win the big ones,” said Wil lowbrook coach Irene Mason after her team’s victory over a competitive Oak Park/River Forest team. “A lot of people are doubting our ability. We’re just working hard and trying to focus and prove that we can do it.”

Willowbrook sophomore Hannah Kenny delivered 10 kills, 13 assists, three digs and two blocks in the Warriors’ win over the Huskies. Junior Calli Kenny provided seven kills, 11 as sists, eight digs and three aces.

“It was nice to connect and see everybody on the same page,” said Mason of the Warriors’ success in the final points of the match against Oak Park/River Forest. She noted that Willow brook’s experience in close games should help

the team prepare for its upcoming post-season push.

“At this point it’s more of a mental thing than anything else,” she said. “This is a strenu ous but fun point right now.”

The Warriors began Saturday’s play at the Lincoln-Way Central event with a 25-16, 2510 win over Lincoln-Way West. Willowbrook closed out pool play with that victory and ad vanced to the semifinal round of the invite.

The Warriors beat Lockport 25-14, 25-23 in a semifinal battle to advance to the champion ship match. Willowbrook edged Lincoln-Way East 25-21, 25-23 in the invite’s title contest.

Calli Kenny, who was named the tourna ment’s most valuable player, piled up 12 kills, 11 digs, nine assists, two blocks and an ace in Saturday’s championship match. Her younger sister Hannah, who was named to the event’s all-tournament team, provided 12 kills, 12 as sists and seven digs.

Cipriano connected for three kills in Satur day’s championship match. Conley contribut ed eight assists and eight digs. Reckamp added two kills and two blocks. Bruschuk and Chivi lo had two digs each.

Willowbrook completed its regular sea son with this week’s conference home match against Leyden. The Warriors will open the IHSA Class 4A post-season with a match against Proviso West at the Downers Grove North Regional on Oct. 25. A win in that match would send the Warriors to a regional final against either Bartlett or Downers Grove North on Oct. 27.

Winning the regional would propel Willow brook to the semifinal round of the Proviso West Sectional. The Warriors are the section al’s No. 1 seed.

“They are doing a great job,” said Mason of the Warriors as they prepare for another post-season run. (Last season’s team won re gional and sectional titles before losing a su per-sectional showdown with Mother McAu ley.) “I’m excited for everything to come.”

The need to use the Defense Production Act to reduce gas prices

By U.S. Rep. Raja Krishnamoorthi The Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries

(OPEC) recently announced it would be cutting oil and gas production by 2 million barrels per day, or about two percent of the global supply, which will increase global crude oil costs, and with it, the price of gas.

In response, I once again called for President Biden not only to press OPEC to reverse this decision, but to eliminate the oil refining bottlenecks that have been contributing to high gas prices, by any means necessary, including invoking the Defense Production Act (DPA) to temporarily reopen refineries.

While the OPEC production cut will increase global crude oil prices, the most recent spike in gas prices is in large part a product of a lack of refining capacity as oil demand has returned to pre-pandemic levels, but global refining capacity has declined by 3 million barrels per day. U.S. capacity alone has declined by 1 million barrels per day as refineries closed at an unprecedented rate during the pandemic.

I first called on President Biden to use his DPA powers to address the refinery shortage during the spring gas price spike and later that month, I introduced legislation urging him to do so with U.S. Reps. Abigail Spanberger of Virginia and Sharice Davids of Kansas, in order “to provide targeted technical and financial assistance to restart certain idled refineries for a limited time” so that we could eliminate supply bottlenecks and reduce gas prices.

Though prices fell over the summer, OPEC’s production cuts place new pressure on prices at a time when refinery capacity has still not recovered.

President Biden has a responsibility to use all tools at his disposal to bring down energy costs and that needs to include using the DPA to increase our oil refining capacity.

The dangers of a nationwide abortion ban

Last month, in the wake of the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn the half-a-century precedent of Roe v. Wade, Sen. Lindsay Graham (R-S.C.) made headlines when he announced his plan to introduce a federal

nationwide abortion ban, stripping American women of their reproductive freedom.

Unfortunately, Senator Graham doesn’t stand alone in his push to deny American women the right to make their own reproductive health care decisions, as many prominent Republicans across the nation, including House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy of California, voiced their support for the measure too.

I strongly oppose this legislation and was grateful for the opportunity to participate in a recent hearing of the House Committee on Oversight and Reform as we exposed the potential dangers and consequences of such a ban.

During my question time, I discussed the issue with expert witnesses, including Dr. Bhavik Kumar of Planned Parenthood Gulf Coast, and Dr. Nisha Verma, a fellow at Physicians for Reproductive Health, and their analyses were deeply troubling.

Dr. Kumar shared in his testimony that a nationwide ban on abortion could lead to a 21 percent increase in pregnancy-related deaths overall, including a 33 percent increase among Black women, a population that already faces the highest maternal mortality rates in the country.

In the aftermath of the Supreme Court’s misguided decision, we have already seen a dramatic increase in abortion bans and restrictions on women’s reproductive freedoms, with 17 states implementing such bans, often with no exceptions for rape or incest.

It is possible another nine states could soon take action on similar bans and restrictions in the near future, according to the Guttmacher Institute, a reproductive rights organization. Women seeking medical help from these states already travel hundreds of miles in some cases to receive treatment, including right here to our home state of Illinois.

A nationwide ban would leave women with no options other than to seek unsafe and illegal abortions which could have deadly consequences. That’s why I will continue to do everything in my power to block that legislation from ever becoming law while fighting to expand reproductive freedom and access to reproductive health care.

Raja Krishnamoorthi represents Illinois’ 8th Congressional District, which includes parts of Addison, Wood Dale, Elmhurst, Bensenville, Villa Park and Lombard.

Important and irreplaceable: grocery cart etiquette (Part 2 of 2)

Last week, I touched on the importance of choosing the best and most functional grocery cart. I attempted to use wise words to not only define refined grocery cart features, but to outline their importance as well.

Now we address part two of this worthwhile and much needed endeavor. (As judged from some of my fellow shoppers who seem to be completely oblivious to the basics of cart civility and decorum.)

Let’s say you’ve chosen the perfect cart. No rust, no squeaks, no dents or abnormalities. You might think you are in the clear, but as far as your overall cart experience goes, we’ve only just begun. (Small pause and nod to Karen Carpenter with that last sentence.) Okay, let’s move forward, as any good—and rust-free—cart will do.

Mastery of the rules I am about to outline can literally make or break the grocery experience for each coshopper you meet. It is basic etiquette at its best and it’s not only essential, but imperative to the safety and general well-being of every shopper in the store.

First and foremost: Once you choose your cart, you are one entity with said cart for the endurance of your entire shopping experience. You’ve committed to this long-term relationship for the next 45 minutes and nothing should interrupt that symbiosis.

By JILL PERTLER Columnist

At all times stay in close proximity to your cart. I can’t stress this enough. Keep in mind your overall cart imprint—how much space are you consuming and how can you make that tighter and smaller.

Aisle maintenance is paramount. Imagine you are navigating a two-lane highway, not a traffic jammed street during rush hour. Stay in your lane and avoid drifting toward the median. Attend to your responsibilities; sloppiness is not acceptable at this point.

Although you should be physically attached to your cart at all times, there is the possibility of you standing on the left side of the aisle (looking at tuna) while your cart waits on the right (near the ever-expanding selection of canned chili).

DO NOT commit this offense!

You are blocking an entire aisle and it is not permissible under grocery guidelines 2.0, established by the Geneva Council of 1971, subpart 32.75: “tuna verses canned meats.”

It’s as serious as toilet paper, people. Pay attention.

Do not leave your cart for any reason, except to chase a small child who has gotten loose in the candy

aisle.

A blatantly abandoned cart only encourages disrespect and disregard. Plus you are most likely blocking some important component of my plans for tonight’s dinner and your cart (in my way) will only angst my angst and ruffle my rile. Please, practice cart supervision. I can’t stress this enough.

Just a few weeks ago, I came upon a fellow shopper in the section near the frozen shrimp. He was paused, by my shrimp freezer door, sort of staring at the ceiling—as though frozen in thought. I wasn’t sure what item he was searching for (or even if any search was in progress) when suddenly he turned around, let GO of his cart, and (ready for this?) Walked all the way over to the next aisle where he stood there naked (in the sense that he didn’t have a cart) looking at pizza rolls.

I’m not sure he ever returned to his cart. I couldn’t absorb the recklessness of his actions without feeling a little bit nauseous. In order to maintain my own sanity I quickly grabbed a bag of jumbo shrimp and made my way to the check out, hoping upon hope he didn’t decide to completely abandon his cart and follow me.

I dodged a bullet that day Jill Pertler is an award-winning syndicated columnist, published playwright and author. She invites readers to follow the Slices of Life page on Facebook.

Madigan ‘betrayed our trust,’ Conroy says

State Representative Deb Conroy (D-Elmhurst) released the following statement last week regarding the further indictments of former Illinois House Speaker Mike Madigan and his associate Michael McClain:

“Mike Madigan’s leadership be trayed our trust and cost Illinois

taxpayers millions of dollars. This indictment shows once again how Madigan’s entrenched power under mined our government.”

“I am proud that I stood firm with 18 of my Democratic colleagues in demanding Mike Madigan’s resigna tion as Speaker and calling for new,

Letter to the editor Does the unborn child have any rights in Illinois?

I recently read in a letter to the edi tor entitled “Do Illinois women have rights to abortion?” in the September 22 Elmhurst Independent. I am writ ing to express another view of this subject.

I appreciate the author’s research concerning the coming election and fully agree that we need to carefully review prior rulings of judicial can didates. I do not agree with some of the statements made by the author regarding abortion and seek to add clarification in this letter to what was said.

The Supreme Court upheld a Mis sissippi law banning abortion after 15 weeks in the Dobbs decision ref erenced in the letter. The Court then went on to overturn the 1973 Roe v. Wade decision stating that in its pri or decision it had illegitimately cited the 14th Amendment’s “right to pri vacy”. Justice Samuel Alito in writ ing the majority opinion stated “The

Constitution makes no reference to abortion, and no such right is implic itly protected by any constitutional provision.”. The Court was doing its job in upholding the framers of the Constitution’s belief that “All men are created equal and endowed by their Creator with certain unalien able rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Hap piness!”. The baby in the womb, has a completely distinct DNA from its mother, has a heartbeat after 6 weeks and is sensitive to pain. This baby has a right to live.

Are we safe in Illinois? If you are a baby in the womb, NO! Illinois law currently allows a baby to be aborted up until birth.

May we in Illinois take this com ing election seriously and do the re search on the candidates running for office and the judicial candidates as well. Lives are at stake!

Terry Hansen

transparent, honest leadership in Springfield. Our courage and deter mination brought an end to a painful era in our state history.”

“Together, we are committed to

building a state government that will work for everyone in Illinois – not just the chosen and well-connected few. With Madigan’s reign over at last, we are bringing Illinois toward

a brighter, more prosperous future.”

Madigan case widens as AT&T agrees to $23 million fine Company president Paul La Schiazza also indicted

By Peter Hancock CAPITOL NEWS ILLINOIS

The federal case against former Illinois House Speaker Michael Madigan widened Oct. 14 after new charges were filed against him and his longtime ally, Michael McClain, alleging they conspired to accept a bribe from AT&T Illinois in ex change for favorable legislation.

Prosecutors also announced that the company had admitted to using interstate commerce to facilitate pas sage of legislation and entered a de ferred prosecution agreement while agreeing to pay a $23 million fine. The company’s former president, Paul La Schiazza, 65, also faces charges for conspiring to influence Madigan.

The latest indictments stem from legislation that AT&T pushed in 2017 known as a “carrier of last resort,” or

COLR bill. The charges allege that the phone company paid $22,500 to a Madigan ally in exchange for efforts by Madigan and McClain to pass the bill. The payment was alleged ly made through an intermediary to conceal its true purpose.

A spokesman for the Citizens Util ity Board, which opposed the bill, said in an email that the law relieves AT&T from its prior duty to offer land line service to any customer within their service territory, once it receives approval from the Federal Communications Commission.

The bill passed the General As sembly twice in different forms. Both were vetoed by then-Republi can Gov. Bruce Rauner, but in July 2017 the General Assembly overrode the second veto and the bill became law.

La Schiazza has been charged

with one count of conspiracy, one count of corruptly giving something of value to reward a public official, and three counts of using a facility in interstate commerce to promote un lawful activity, including bribery and legislative misconduct, which are vi olations of state law. Arraignment in federal court in Chicago has not yet been scheduled.

“We hold ourselves and our con tractors to the highest ethical stan dards. We are committed to ensuring that this never happens again,” an AT&T spokesman said in a state ment.

Madigan, 80, reigned over the Illinois House for all but two years between 1983 and 2021 and was considered by many to be the state’s most powerful politician. He also chaired the Democratic Party of Illi nois from 1998 to 2021 but resigned

The importance of a primary care provider

There’s no doubt web search en gines and apps are helpful for finding answers to burning questions.

But when it comes to health or med ical questions, the answers are rarely one-size-fits-all.

This is one reason adults should have a primary care doctor they check in with at least once a year, a doctor who knows their personal medical history and physical make-up and can give them customized assessments.

Using an annual gynecologist vis it as a primary care check-up isn’t as comprehensive. OB/GYNs specialize in women’s health, and while annual

gynecologic check-ups are important, primary care physicians are trained to make a comprehensive health assess ment.

As people age, their bodies change and face new challenges. It’s important to stay on top of any issues that come up.

The thought of finding a doctor, penciling in time for an appointment and then finding time to make the appointment can be daunting (and, understandably, discourages a lot of people from getting checked out).

Fortunately, with today’s technol ogy, it’s a lot easier to find a doctor close to home and schedule an ap pointment—and it can all be done on a smartphone at EEHealth.org.

A primary care doctor, like those with Edward-Elmhurst Medical Group, is a vital component of adult healthcare. Consider these reasons why adults should have their own doc tor:

• Familiarity. A primary care doctor is a familiar home base who is aware of their patients’ health history and can monitor health changes over time.

• Catch health concerns early. Be cause the doctor sees patients over time, he or she can better help them manage chronic disease, find the best specialists, and, with regular checkups and screenings, catch health issues early.

• Comfort. It’s easier to see a doctor who’s familiar than a stranger when

feeling ill.

• Better communication. Patients feel more comfortable talking about symptoms and concerns, and a pri mary care doctor will be better able to help them avoid medical pitfalls.

Seeing a doctor on a regular ba sis helps patients avoid catastrophic health events that could land them in the hospital or even surgery. Not only do regular visits keep patients healthi er, they help prevent expensive medi cal bills down the road.

Finding the right doctor can take some time. Ask friends and family for recommendations. Search the Ed ward-Elmhurst Medical Group data base, which includes hundreds of doc tor profiles, ratings/reviews and even videos of the doctors.

There are two types of primary care physicians to consider:

• Family medicine. When someone needs to arrange care for the family, a family medicine physician can be the most convenient and most effective choice. Family medicine doctors have specific knowledge of the body at any age, from newborns to seniors. Fam ily medicine doctors can also treat a wide variety of conditions, including ailments for which someone would normally see a specialist.

• Internal medicine. Internal med icine doctors specialize in the care of adults and teens, typically 16 years and older. Learn more at EEHealth. org/EEMG.

that position amid the corruption scandal as well.

But he lost his leadership role in 2021 after he was implicated in a bribery scheme involving electric utility giant Commonwealth Edison. He was eventually indicted earli er this year on multiple corruption charges related to that scheme and is still awaiting trial.

The latest charges come less than four weeks before the 2022 midterm elections in which the entire General Assembly and all statewide elected officials are on the ballot.

Democrats hold supermajorities in both chambers of the legislature, but Republicans have campaigned hard

on the theme that those majorities are the result of Madigan’s corrupt leadership, both in the House and in the party.

The Illinois Republican Party re sponded quickly to the new charges by issuing a statement.

“Indicted former House Speaker Mike Madigan’s legacy continues to haunt Illinois as he now faces ad ditional corruption-related charges. Since 2019, nine Chicago Demo cratic aldermen and women, three Democratic state representatives, and four Democratic state senators have been indicted or convicted on corruption-related charges, including Madigan himself.”

Oh, most beautiful flower of Mt. Carmel, fruitful vine, splendor of heaven, blessed mother of the Son of God.

Immaculate Virgin, assist me in my necessity. Oh Star of the Sea, help me and show me, herein you are my mother.

Oh, Holy Mary, Mother of God, Queen of Heaven and Earth! I humbly beseech you from the bottom of my heart to answer me in this necessity. There are none that can withstand your power. Oh, show me herein you are my mother. Oh, Mary conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee (3x). Holy Mother, I place this cause in your hands (3xs). Sweet Mother, I place this cause in your hands (3x). Holy Spirit, you who solve all problems, light all roads so that I can attain my goal, you who gave me divine gift to forgive and forget all evil against me, and that in all instances in my life you are with me. I want in this short prayer to thank you for all things as you confirm once again that I never want to be separated from you in eternal glory.

Thank you for your mercy towards me and mine.

No matter what you think of “drag” events, it pains me that many of my conservative brethren are giving the rest of us a bad name by behaving, or threatening to behave, in such violent ways. They are no better than those on the violent side who advocate for loot ing and rioting—who give moderate Democrats a bad name. I understand why the bakery in Lake in the Hills shut down its drag show and the library in Downers Grove gave in and shut down its drag bingo event as a measure of safety to themselves and the public. But that just lets these radical individ uals and groups claim a victory that they strong-armed to achieve. I am a conservative, but I’m not homophobic, and I believe these places have a right to offer these events as a matter of free speech. Not only do the bakery and library have the right to stand up and be courageous, but those people who claim to be backing their beliefs with the Bible, or who bully from anonym ity, sure don’t behave in a very Chris tian manner. They are cowards.

While visiting the Hurricane Ian damage in Florida, Biden said, “The one thing this has finally ended is

rious trouble. I can understand how the gay couple felt slighted, but the business owner does have a right to run a business the way he sees fit, just like when businesses were requiring masks, or “no shirt, no shoes, no ser vice.” This is not the same as discrimi nating over housing, medical attention or jobs. The owner said he would glad ly make a cake for gay and transgender individuals for other occasions, just not for a marriage, which goes against his religious beliefs. While I disagree with his beliefs, I respect his right to exer cise them.

When gas prices go down, Biden takes credit. When gas prices go up, Democrats claim that Biden doesn’t control gas prices and repeat slogans like “Putin’s price hike.” When the stock market goes up, Biden takes credit. When the stock market goes down, Biden’s team claims that the downturn is not his fault. Biden and Democrats have no credibility. It’s a shame so many people are follow ing the “green” agenda. Imagine how much better off we’d be if energy was cheap and abundant.

So Sean Casten and other Demo crats have come out strongly in sup port of public libraries hosting drag queen events. They also support “gen der affirming” care for children and late-term abortion. Incredible. Why do they hate children so much and what has happened to the Democratic Party?

* *

Why do so many people litter? It’s pathetic. Every time I’m in a parking lot of a store or a restaurant, I see cups, lids, wrappers and more scattered on the pavement. Why are some people so lazy and inconsiderate? Is anyone else old enough to remember the “Keep America Beautiful” commercial with the American Indian who sheds a tear? That commercial urged people not to pollute. Can someone bring that com mercial back?

* * *

Please keep in mind how important it is to vote for Illinois Supreme Court judges. Both Mary O’Brien and Eliza beth Rochford are Madigan connected judges. Please look at Mark Curran and Michael Burke. We need change in Illinois. Please don’t be so naïve that Madigan’s cronies don’t still have their hands in judgeships.

Attorney general candidates clash over SAFE-T Act, public health measures

Raoul, DeVore face off in virtual forum

By Peter Hancock CAPITOL NEWS ILLINOIS

Attorney General Kwame Raoul accused his Republican challenger Thomas DeVore of making “dan gerous” remarks, while DeVore ac cused the Democratic incumbent of failing the state’s school students by not challenging Gov. JB Pritzker’s COVID-19 mitigations.

The charges and countercharges came during a nearly hourlong de bate organized by the Illinois Associ ated Press Media Editors and Capitol News Illinois that was conducted last week via Zoom.

Raoul, a former state senator from Chicago, is seeking his second term in the AG’s office while DeVore, a southern Illinois attorney in private practice, is trying to unseat him.

DeVore gained notoriety during the COVID-19 pandemic for filing numerous lawsuits, mostly unsuc cessful, challenging the governor’s authority to issue multiple disaster declarations and to issue executive orders that included mask man dates and other mitigation measures. Among his clients in those suits was state Sen. Darren Bailey, who is now the GOP nominee for governor.

“I think one of the things we’ve learned over the course of the last couple of years is that there was a fair question to be asked about the extent of the governor’s ability to issue some of those mandates,” DeVore said. “You know, you have some on one side of the conversation say he could absolutely do it. You had some

S E C T I O N 34

that said he absolutely couldn’t. But I think we would all agree as intellec tual people there was a fair question.”

Raoul, however, defended his de cisions, and his support for Pritzker’s executive orders, saying the state was in the midst of a deadly pandemic and that he, himself, lost friends to the disease.

“I will agree with Mr. DeVore. It was a fair question to ask,” Raoul said. “But how many times you ask it is a fair question, too. It was asked and answered multiple times in mul tiple lawsuits. And the courts’ re sources should not have been abused as they were.”

The two also clashed over the role of the attorney general’s office in prosecuting certain crimes, a deci sion that is traditionally left to locally elected state’s attorneys.

In particular, DeVore has been an outspoken critic of Cook County State’s Attorney Kimberly Foxx, ar guing that she has refused to bring charges in felony theft cases that in volve less than $1,000.

He even said of Foxx at the Illinois State Fair, “she better get to prosecut ing or we’ll find a way to prosecute her,” raising questions about whether he would use the office to target his political opponents.

“It’s a very broad statement, and she’s not a political opponent of mine,” DeVore said, adding that he believes people in Illinois “are frus trated with elected officials arbitrari ly making decisions that don’t make any sense to them.”

“Prosecutorial discretion is one thing,” he added. “But when you take prosecutorial discretion to the point that you may be engaging in official misconduct yourself by failing to perform a duty that the law requires you to perform, that’s at least a con versation that has to be had, not just with Kim Foxx, but with other public officials.”

Later in the debate, Raoul respond ed to those comments, as well as other comments he said DeVore has made suggesting he would investi gate political opponents.

“Those are dangerous statements, particularly in today’s environment,” Raoul said. “There have been prose cutors who have been prosecuted for abusing their authority in political ways, and somebody who will overt ly make these statements as a candi date for attorney general should not be let anywhere near the door of the attorney general’s office.”

DeVore was also asked about the numerous private lawsuits he has filed against individuals who have criticized him, including one against Pritzker for calling him a “grifter” and one against individuals, includ ing a special education teacher, who criticized him on Facebook after he referred to some students as “window lickers.”

When asked if he would continue engaging in private litigation if he is elected attorney general, Devore in sisted he and all other office-seekers have a right to defend themselves against false or unfair accusations.

“So when it rises to the level of it’s not just political talk, and it’s accus ing people of committing crimes and saying other things that impugn their ability to do their job, they have an absolute right to defend themselves,” he said. “Me, the governor, Mr. Raoul and anybody. And to suggest that it has some ulterior motive other than defending your character, I take issue with that.”

Raoul responded that lawyers have a duty not to waste the courts’ re sources and that lawyers can be sanc tioned for filing “nonmeritorious” lawsuits.

“First off, I don’t think we want the courts to be used to stop teach ers from being protective of students when somebody’s going to do some thing that I think is just unconsciona ble,” he said. “The other thing that’s important to look at is the outcome of those lawsuits. That lawsuit (against the teacher) was eventually dis missed. Right?”

“You know, Attorney General Raoul, let me just say what you just said on this camera is defamatory because you weren’t there,” DeVore fired back. “You don’t know any thing about it.”

The two candidates were also asked about their positions on the SAFE-T Act, the sweeping crimi nal justice reform package that law makers passed in 2021 that includes, among other things, the elimination of cash bail beginning Jan. 1, 2023.

DeVore has been an outspoken critic of that law, arguing that he be

lieves it is unconstitutional and that the attorney general should have challenged it in court.

“We now have over 50 state’s at torneys in the state of Illinois who are now doing, for all intents and purposes, the attorney general’s job in bringing causes of action on nu merous counts that it’s unconstitu tional,” DeVore said. “It is in fact unconstitutional.”

Devore’s constitutional claims center on the law’s detainability stan dards.

The law says the decision to detain someone in jail pending trial will be based on factors other than the de fendant’s ability to post a cash bond, such as the severity of the crime, the defendant’s likelihood of fleeing prosecution and whether they pose a risk to other individuals or the com munity.

Raoul conceded that there are parts of the law that he thinks need to be clarified, and he said lawmakers are in conversations about that in ad vance of the upcoming veto session, which begins Nov. 15. But he said one of the jobs of the attorney gen eral is to defend the laws of the state against constitutional challenges, and he would do so for the SAFE-T Act.

“My obligation as a lawyer in gen eral is towards justice,” Raoul said. “And so, if the evidence is such, or the law is such, that I would have to concede unconstitutionality, I would have a conversation with my client, and we’d have to do so. I don’t be lieve that’s the case here.”
