Several counties in Illinois have stated their desire to break away from The Prairie State. Indiana House Speaker Todd Huston would like to give them that opportunity. The Speaker unveiled his desire to form a commission at potentially making those Illinois counties a part of Indiana. Will it work? Is it a good use of taxpayer resources? Rob Kendall, Jim Merritt, and Abdul-Hakim Shabazz discuss on this week's Statehouse Happenings. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Jonathan Sebastian on Loyal to a Man: The Civil War in our Backyards For More Info: WWW.ChicagoCWRT.ORG In the minds of many, including those who study history, there exists a divide. That is, while history happens everywhere, the real history happens somewhere else. The Civil War is thought of as having been fought in the South and, to an extent this is true. Most of the battles were fought in that region, however all parts of the country were directly impacted by this war. Illinois and even more specifically, the Chicago metropolitan area was no different. Just two hundred years ago, this area would have been unrecognizable to those familiar with all the Chicagoland area has to offer today. What was once an area of prairie with a handful of small towns was transformed dramatically during the 1860s. The people of the Prairie State played a significant role in the war and were themselves directly impacted by that war. So, how did Illinoisans, and more specifically those of Chicago and the DuPage County area, respond to such momentous issues as emancipation and the draft (among other issues) in the context of a national civil war? This presentation will explore this rich local history (some of it is still here in a tangible way!) and its connection to a most significant moment in the development of the United States. A former president of the Chicago CWRT, Jonathan Sebastian earned his B.A. in history from Judson College (now University) and his M.A. in Public History from Loyola University Chicago. He has been an adjunct professor of history at Judson University teaching World History 1500 to the Present and U.S. history. More recently, he was a social studies teacher at Woodlands Academy of the Sacred Heart. He was a tour guide at Jubilee College State Historic site outside of Peoria, Illinois, a project-based researcher at the Pritzker Military Library, and was the curator of the Fischer Farm historic site in Bensenville, Illinois. Currently, he is an experience facilitator at the Arlington Heights Historical Museum and the education and programs assistant at the Elmhurst History Museum. He is also the author of Bensenville, a volume of the Arcadia Press Series, Images of America.
Rural healthcare is much the same and also very different from state to state across the country.

This week on the Pennsylvania Woodsman we are back with part 2 of our conversation with Cole Seitzinger in what we are calling a "Dream Season". If you missed last week, Cole shares his 2023 PA P&Y buck kill and the obstacles experienced along the way. It was 8 days later Cole was able to lay hands on his target 150 class buck in the Prairie State. However, the theme of overcoming obstacles remains in place! Despite initial setbacks and doubts, Cole's wife encouraged him to go on his Illinois hunt after a 12-year hiatus, arriving a day late due to family obligations. Cole bounced around the farm until landing in a tree that proved to be successful. Initially, the wind kept him from hunting his primary target location. The tree he picked was a good distance away but allowed him to observe from a distance. The power of November had his target buck on his feet, which just happened to cruise by his tree in bow range mid-morning. Lots of lessons learned from stand selection and shot placement, to tracking, trusting your instincts, and sharing memories made in the field. Learn more about your ad choices.

Tori starts off the latest megasode with several movie references and the Old Joliet Prison. Yet another prison with deplorable conditions, ghosts, and movie scenes. Also, they buried limbs in the cemetery there. Krysti comes around with Pere Lachaise Cemetery in Paris. Add in a vampire, a battle site, a horny gravesite, and you want ghosts? Because that's how you get ghosts. Chuck comes round with a Central American cryptid, the mysterious Aluxes, or the little people of Mexico. These Mayan legends have stuck around to this day. Malcolm brings us to Scotland and the Culloden Battlefield. The last stand of the Jacobites against the British Duke of Cumberlands troops. A series of poor tactical choices and being outgunned made this the site of an absolute massacre. There seems to be an echo of this battle that ripples through every year on the anniversary. Happy bday to Tori, she got the gamut of fun stories right up her alley for this episode.Our Sources: Tremeear J. In: Illinois Haunted Route 66. Charleston, SC: Haunted America; 2013., Taylor T.

Also this week, two plaintiffs' firms trade blows over a Facebook antitrust case, and the DOJ files charges against an ex-con for his purported impersonation of a private equity GC and BigLaw pro.

With the signing of the Climate and Equitable Jobs Act into law, Illinois has become the first coal-producing state – and the first midwestern state – to commit to a carbon-free future, and the bill was proposed in part by the state's labor unions. To get a sense of the scale of the goals CEJA lays out, Jay speaks with environmental expert Paula DiPerna, who ran the Joyce Foundation out of Chicago and founded the Chicago Climate Exchange. Paula explains that what sets Illinois apart from other states is that their union leaders have stopped trying to hang on to legacy jobs and have instead embraced the burgeoning green economy. Jay digs in a little deeper by chatting with Pat Devaney, the secretary treasurer for the AFL-CIO, who explains how the unions saw the shortcomings of previous legislation and decided to put together a proposal of their own that guaranteed prevailing wage and labor standards on renewable energy projects. Next, Jay hears from Naomi Davis, founder of Blacks In Green, to hear how workforce development programs are providing not only pipelines to green jobs, but also pathways to business ownership for black and brown residents who have historically been shut out of the clean energy movement. And while on the subject of workforce development, Jay pops into Heartland Community college to hear from administrators, teachers, and students about how auto workers are preparing to meet CEJA's most ambitious targets: getting one million electric vehicles on the road by 2030. And as the state works to electrify both its consumer and public transit, renewable energy developers will be erecting large-scale wind and solar projects. Jay rounds out his trip through Through the Prairie State by talking to Jon Carson, founder of Trajectory Energy Partners, about how well-suited Illinois' rural farmlands are to provide the groundwork needed to meet the state's growing energy demands.

Welcome to December 7, 2021 on the National Day Calendar. Today we celebrate a state that stays cozy and remember the day that will live in infamy. There are plenty of things you can see during a typical Chicago winter. Ice skating at Maggie Daley Park…People walking on Lake Michigan…Train tracks being set on fire. Seriously. Chicago winters can get very cold. Cold enough to affect the operation of the city's L Train. Sub-freezing temperatures cause the metal rails to contract, which pulls them apart at their connection. Chicago Transit Authority workers light the tracks ablaze to monitor the flames. This may sound crazy, but this simple act keeps the train system running throughout the winter months. On National Illinois Day, celebrate by visiting the Prairie State which has plenty to offer even when the weather outside is frightful. On this day in 1941 more than 3,500 Americans lost their lives or were wounded when the Imperial Japanese Navy Air Service attacked the Naval Station Pearl Harbor near Honolulu, Hawaii. The ambush was designed to destroy our U.S. Pacific Fleet. Up until this time the United States had remained neutral but on November 8th President Roosevelt announced the beginning of our military involvement in World War II. Today, the USS Arizona lies beneath the surface of gentle waves. As a tribute to their lost comrades more than 44 survivors of the attack have chosen to have their ashes laid to rest on this sacred site. On National Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day we display our nation's flag at half mast until sunset and remember the day that will live in infamy. I'm Anna Devere and I'm Marlo Anderson.

Felix Biederman (Chapo Trap House), Ramsin Canon (Chicago DSA), Adrian @Blagojevism and I talk about the storied life of Illinois Governor Rod R. Blagojevich. Rod in many ways was the last of his generation, a white ethnic political scrapper who made his bones under the old Chicago political machine. When that machine turned neoliberal, he was offered as a sacrifice to show that corruption had finally ended in the Prairie State, making way for bloodless middle-managers like Rahm Emanuel. Blago is a complicated character, rife with contradictions. To understand Blago is to understand the changing of the guard in Illinois politics. Produced by Dan Black.

Today is August 23rd, 2017 and our guests this week are: Lynn Heidelbaugh, Curator at the Smithsonian National Postal Museum Mike Shuster from the great war project blog, The Storyteller and the Historian, Richard Rubin and Jonathan Bratten John Motley from the 100 Cities / 100 Memorials project in Fort Towson, Oklahoma And Andrew Carroll, Founding Director of the Center for American War Letters at Chapman University WW1 Centennial News is brought to you by the U.S. World War I Centennial Commission and the Pritzker Military Museum and Library. I’m Theo Mayer - the Chief Technologist for the Commission and your host. Welcome to the show. World War One THEN 100 Year Ago This Week [MUSIC TRANSITION] We’ve gone back in time 100 years to explore the war that changed the world! It is 1917 and America is preparing a war effort that is transforming her more quickly than any previous event in her short history. For example, 100 years later people will simply take for granted, the country’s ability to move huge volumes of goods, resources and people across the vast land. But there is no highway system in 1917… There are few canals… but there is a large and even transcontinental infrastructure - The railroads! So it is not surprising, that trains quickly becomes a key strategic element in the war effort, 100 years ago. Following are some the headlines and notes from the Official Bulletin - America’s War Gazette published daily by the Committee on Public Information, the US government propaganda ministry headed by George Creel. We’ll track the story about the railroads through its headlines and pages starting just a month after war is declared. [SOUND EFFECT] Dateline: May 15, 1917 Headline: BILL TO GIVE PRESIDENT POWER OVER FREIGHT SHIPMENTS INTRODUCED The story reads: "As war conditions develop It is certain there will be times when the shipment of arms and ammunition may be of prime importance ; at another time the movement of provisions may be more important; yet at another, the movement of coal and Iron ore may become the most Important of all. Under these conditions It is thought essential that the President should have the power to determine what particular freight shall have priority and for how long this priority should continue. Less than a month later -- the scope of the challenge is outlined in the Bulletin: [SOUND EFFECT] Dateline: June 5th, 1917 Headline: THE MOBILIZATION OF RAILROADS FOR THE NATION'S WAR NEEDS ARE DEFINED The story reads: Freight cars are lacking… There are 2,500,000 freight cars in the United States and their capacity is barely sufficient for current commercial needs. The railroads in the near future will use 120,000 cars to transport material for the construction of the ' new army ' training camps, and a continuous flow of cars to keep those camps in supplies. They estimate that It will take 200,000 cars to carry the material used for the construction of the Government merchant ships, whether of steel or of wood. They will require an enormous number of cars to move the steel for the ships under construction for the Navy, and no estimate whatever can be made of the number of cars which will be needed to carry the material used in the manufacture of munitions and supplies for the Army, and in moving them a second time from the point of manufacture to the shipping point. [SOUND EFFECT] Dateline: June 21th, 1917 Headline: MORE EXTENDED USE OF INTERIOR WATERWAYS OF COUNTRY URGED BY SECRETARY OF COMMERCE TM: The “maxing out” of capacity is clearly being recognized by all concerned --- and everyone is looking for answers as this story illustrates: “The president of one of our leading railways has recently said : " The railroads of the United States are carrying more freight than ever before in the history of the country, but when they have carried traffic up to 100 per cent of their capacity there still remains 15, 25, perhaps 30 per cent in traffic which it is impossible for them to carry at all." No one --- who knows the facts, will question that the railways of the country are overwhelmed by the present traffic. There is said to be a shortage of 150,000 cars. Radical measures are being taken In an effort to meet the situation. The railroads are Insufficient for the task laid upon them and the problem is likely to become more serious. It will not be long before large bodies of troops must be moved with their equipment in this country. TM: Although Americans were used to traveling through the country by rail - A visit to aunt Tilly in not in the cards anytime soon, [SOUND EFFECT] Dateline: July 17, 1917 Headline: HUGE REDUCTION IN PASSENGER TRAIN SERVICE The story reads: The railroads of the United States, as part of their effort, under the direction of the Railroads' War Board, report the elimination of passenger trains aggregating over 16,200,000 miles of train service per year. This is done by the railroads to save man power, fuel, and motive power, that they may be applied to the transportation of necessities. Every ton of coal, every locomotive, every mile of track space, every man whose duties are absorbed by an unnecessary passenger train --- can be put to effective use in freight service, and nothing is more necessary at the moment to insure the safety and prosperity of the country than that the railroads be able to handle the utmost possible amount of freight. The elimination of passenger service already reported will make available over 1,120.000 tons of coal for other purposes. TM: 10 days later a positive public relations story is published in the bulletin about the railroad companies [SOUND EFFECT] Dateline: July 27, 1917 Headline: RAILROADS INCREASE NATION'S FOOD SUPPLY BY LEASING SURPLUS LANDS WHICH THEY OWN The story reads: To help increase the Nation's food supply by utilizing as much idle acreage as possible the railroads of the West and Middle West are leasing millions of acres of lands - which they own - at nominal rental for grazing and agricultural purposes. In addition to leasing their land to farmers and cattlemen at a nominal rental, a number of the railroads are offering garden plots, rent free, to families along their right of way. This leads to the big story this week one hundred years ago… [SOUND EFFECT] Dateline: August 20th, 1917 Headline: PLANS FOR GREATEST TROOP MOVEMENT IN U. S. HISTORY ARE NOW BEING PERFECTED The American Railway Association Is Preparing Schedules To Insure Safe and Prompt Carrying of the Armies. The story reads: Altogether, 687,000 men will have in be transported to the various cantonments that the Government is building to house the new National Army. The movement will start September 5. Between that date and September 9 the railroads will complete the entrainment of 200,000 men, or approximately 30 per cent of the total number scheduled to be moved to the various training camps. The facts are that to move merely one field army of 80,000 men requires 6.229 cars made up into 366 trains, with as many locomotives and train crews. Meanwhile, in addition to moving the 687,000 recruits for the National Army, the railroads have been asked to supply transportation for the 350,000 members of the National Guard to their training camps. Closing TM: It is easy to see how challenging and strategic this key piece of infrastructure is to the war effort - So….Finally, in December of this year , 1917, the Interstate Commerce Commission recommends the total federal control of the railroad industry to ensure efficient operation. The takeover measures are to go beyond simply easing the congestion and expediting the flow of goods; they will have total control of all parties—management, labor, investors, and shipping— on behalf of this national interest. President Wilson issues an order for nationalization of the US railroad industry on December 26, 1917 [BANG SOUND EFFECT] The US Postal Service in WW1 Interview with Lynn [SOUND EFFECT WOOSH] Now that the troops are shipping out - first to training camp and soon thereafter overseas, another key logistics elements has to be nailed into place - one that is essential the the mental and spiritual well being of our fighting forces - Mail service! With us today is Lynn Heidelbaugh (HEIDEL-BAW), Curator at the Smithsonian National Postal Museum who is going to talk to us about the mail service and how it adapted to the changing needs of a population at war. Welcome, Lynn! [exchange greetings] [Lynn, can you fill us in on how the postal service in america had to transform and adapt when war was declared? ] [You lost postal workers to the draft didn’t you?] [Lynn - later in the show we’ll hear from Andrew Carroll from the Center for American War Letters at Chapman University - he contributed to your Pershing “My fellow Soldiers - Letters from WWI” exhibit at the museum. When did that open?] [Lynn - Museum exhibits are not really about artifacts and objects - they are about stories - as the curator for a postal museum exhibit about WW1 - is there anything that sticks out as a particularly memorable story.] [Did the postal service get Involved with mail censorship or was that strictly the war department?] [Thank you Lynn] That was Lynn Heidelbaugh (HEIDEL-BAW), Curator at the Smithsonian National Postal Museum. link:https://postalmuseum.si.edu/ War in the Sky [SOUND EFFECT] This week in our War in The Sky segment we are going to talk about the famous US 94th Aero Squadron- which is established at Kelly Field, Texas on August 20, 1917. The “Hat in the ring Gang” named for their squadron logo - is one of the first American pursuit squadrons to reach the Western Front and see combat. Three notable airmen serve with the squadron, perhaps the most well known is Eddie Rickenbacker, who will be awarded almost every decoration attainable, including the Medal of Honor and the Distinguished Service Cross. On a personal note, I have a silver cigarette case from my grandfather that is signed by a bunch of his flying buddies including Eddie Rickenbacker. I’ve always treasured that... So, another interesting member of the Hat in the Ring Gang is Raoul Lufbery.. Who transferred over from the famous Lafayette Escadrille. Lufbery, a really colorful character, famously adopted a lion cub while with the Lafayette and named him Whiskey, later got Whiskey a lioness playmate called Soda. Now - besides being a little eccentric, he is, of course, also a great aviator… Finally there is Douglas Campbell who will become the first AMERICAN TRAINED pilot to be an air ace. We will follow more of the 94th Aero Squadron’s exploits over the coming months, a famous squadron that was born 100 years ago this week. There are several links in the podcast notes to learn more.
