New displays at Old School Museum have ladies appeal

By CARMEN ENSINGER Scott County Times If you think you have seen everything in the Old School Museum – think again. The staff are always changing things up and the newest additions are a shoe collection and a replica of a vintage hair salon.

The shoe collection includes 17 pairs of shoes that date back to the late 1800’s and came from a local shoe store. “A lot of the shoes we have on this display came from the Hainsfurther Shoe Store here in Winchester,� Janis Dappert said. “Some of them look like they were made by a cobbler on a cobbler’s bench.�

The Old School Museum received most of the shoes from the Historical Society, formerly located in the old depot. “All but two of the pairs of these shoes came from the old depot,� Dappert said. “These two pairs were brought by in by the descendant’s relative who wore them.�

There will be lots more added as everything that was at the Historical Society, located in the old depot, is being moved to the Old

School Museum.

Moving into another area of the museum a beauty salon has been recreated from the 1930’s.

The display includes the chair and workstation used

by Mary Beddingford Chance who received her license back in 1936.

The donation was made by Steve Montgomery. “He gave us the beauty shop equipment that was above the barber shop at that location,� Dappert said. “It includes a picture of the shop and we also have the machine hair curler that was used in the 1940’s made by Duwart.�

The permanent wave machine is a sight to see in itself. Long cords with metal clips on the ends were placed all over a woman’s head making her look much like Medusa. The machine was then plugged in and turned on and the heat from the metal around the hair heated it enough to curl it.

The display also includes a mirror and console that includes a sterilizer for the instruments along with a variety of curlers. “We are always changing things up as much as possible and we were talking about

Civil War drum donated to Old School Museum

By CARMEN ENSINGER Scott County Times

T

he newest addition to the Old School Museum is a drum used by a 16-year-old Winchester native during the Civil War. Alonzo Dill was only 16 years old when he enlisted in the Civil War as a drummer boy under General Sherman.

He kept the drum he used during the many battles and even wrote the battles on the side of the drum.

That drum found its way to Claude Dill, of Rochester, New York, who made the trip to Winchester to donate the drum to the Old School Museum. “Someone in the family sent it to my brother, Robert, several years ago,� Claude Dill

said. “We had it for several years and since we are getting older, once this museum opened we decided to donate it to the museum.�

Alonzo Ellis survived the Civil War and came back to Winchester and married Eliza Goodyear in 1871. Together they had three children and he became a fruit farmer along with a painter and decorator in Winchester. He died on Sept.

23, 1908.

Dill said his brother Tom, who has passed away, and Bob started looking up the family ancestry and discovered a lot of things about the family. “We did a family tree years ago and we knew of Alonzo, but we didn’t really know any specifics about him,� Dill said. “Bob’s daughter, who lives in Tennessee, is into ancestry big time and she found out a wealth of information about

Alonzo.�

Alonzo Dill was born Aug. 3, 1847 in Cumberland County, Pennsylvania. At the age of 4, his family moved to Scott County. At the age of 16, Alonzo enlisted in the Union Army, serving in Company D of the 129th Illinois Volunteer Infantry as a drummer, an incredibly important job for many young soldiers.

In the noise and confusion of battle, drummers were needed to give orders to troops, the drums would signal all orders on the battlefield and in camp. When drummers weren’t calling the troops, they often worked as stretch bearers moving the wounded from the battlefield, no doubt saving countless lives.

Alonzo documented each and every battle on the side of the drum that he beat during each battle.

This drum was used by a 16-year-old Alonzo Dill during the Civil War. Dill marked the battles he was in on the side of the drum. The drum was donated by Claude Dill, who made the trip from Rochester New York to donate the drum to the Old School Museum.

“We felt that this drum needed to be back to the place where Alonzo called home for so many years,� Dill said.

“When we learned about this museum opening we knew it was where we wanted this drum to be.�

THAN IS BELIEVED

I

wrote about the lack of rain a few weeks ago.

My little food plot needed a drink so bad. It still does, but the drought continues. And it’s probably too late now anyway. Something growing in the middle of October seems unlikely.

I did all that I could do. I needed God to send the rain.

He hasn’t.

I can only pray he does. I guess it’s that “thoughts and prayers” thing. But it looks like my food plot doesn’t lack the thoughts and prayers. It looks like, maybe, I’m being shown how bad it really would be without what God does during a normal year.

There are so many today who are bemoaning, criticizing, and even scoffing whenever someone offers “thoughts and prayers.” Their argument is that it is an excuse for inactivity.

I completely understand what they mean, especially the “thought” part of the “thoughts and prayers” offering.

What do my thoughts toward you, or anyone, actually accomplish?

The “prayer” part is something altogether different, if prayer matters. But even in that, I understand the criticism. The thinking is this — just as I had to plant my field before God could water it — we all must do our part in other areas before God can do his part as well.

For some reason, however, it doesn’t feel like the critics are looking for a partnership with God. It feels more as if they think prayer has very little or no effect on anything going on — like it hasn’t mattered in the past, and it doesn’t matter now. So, let’s forgo the prayer thing and just take action.

I hope I’m wrong in my assessment. But have you ever thought that perhaps what is going on now is the result of people’s ongoing prayers?

I mean have you ever thought that perhaps there would be more violence and more catastrophes and more suffering, if not for those who bring these things before God each day, or if not for the ongoing mercies of God? Just ask it this way. Could things

be worse? And if so, what or who keeps them from becoming that way?

God has withheld the rain from my food plot – the rain I had come to expect, depend on, and yes, take for granted. He has shown me it could be worse.

Does praying make a difference? Is it important?

I think the answer to both questions is yes. I also think I need to act as well. If I want an example of doing both, I can look to Jesus.

He acted and prayed. Now that I think about it, I’m glad he “thought” about me as well.

Illinois EPA launches annual Environmental Education Competition for fifth and sixth grade students Agency Encourages Youth Creativity About How to Protect the Environment Fifth and sixth grade writers and artists from around Illinois are invited to compete in this year’s Poster, Poetry and Prose Contest sponsored by the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). This year’s contest theme is Algae: The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly... How Can You Keep Your Local Pond Healthy? focusing on how algae can affect waterbodies (good and bad).

The theme also emphasizes how to prevent non-point source pollution, including nutrient runoff, to maintain healthy water ecosystems. Educators are asked to introduce these topics using the Illinois EPA’s newly developed, free curriculum: Environmental Pathways surface water unit Why is the Pond Green?

The unit was developed by the Office for Mathematics, Science, and Technology Education (MSTE) at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign and is aligned with Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS).

Each school can enter up to eight works (four posters and four written) depicting this year’s theme. Entries must be postmarked and sent in to the Illinois EPA by February 3, 2020. An in house panel from the Illinois EPA will judge all entries to select the finalists, and those entries will then be judged by an outside panel of authorities to determine the top twelve winners.

All finalists, together with their families and teachers, will be invited to an awards ceremony and reception on April 18 at the Old State Capitol historic site in

Springfield. After the awards ceremony, participants are invited to attend the City of Springfield’s Earth Awareness Fair on the Old State Capitol’s lawn. Finalist entries will be on exhibit in the atrium of the Illinois EPA’s headquarters building in Springfield from April 20 through May 13, and the top winners will be featured on the Illinois EPA’s website.

Information about the annual event can be obtained on Illinois EPA’s website at: https://www2.illinois.gov/epa/ topics/education/contest/Pages/default. aspx, or by contacting Kristi Morris, Environmental Education Coordinator for the Illinois EPA, at 217-558-7198, or by email at Kristi.Morris@illinois. gov.

Kiwanis Christmas Basket Project kicking off 2019 season The Winchester Kiwanis is getting ready for Christmas. Letters have been sent out to past recipients and the deadline for signing up is Nov. 15. If you need a little extra help for Christmas maybe we can help. We will help Scott County citizens with a food basket that has almost everything you need for a holiday meal. Only one food basket per household is allowed.

If you have children 18 and younger we can also help with an outfit along with the food basket. The children have to live with you full time. Children who are 18 and out of high school do not qualify.

This year the Kiwanis will be working with the Scott County Sheriff’s Office to get a few extra toys to the children in Scott County. The Sheriff’s Office will be in charge of the toys. They will have

information coming soon. Another great avenue for toys is the Outreach Community Center in Winchester. Their toy give away will be Dec.13, starting at 5:30 p.m.

With these two resources we are confident no child will go without.

There will be boxes for toy donations at all four banks in Scott County. Along with the donation boxes, the banks will have the Angel Trees that will have clothing tags on them. When you choose an Angel please remember to take it to an employee who will take down your information. We will need the gifts back to the banks by Dec.13 Feel free to call the Kiwanis at 217-7422181 if you have any questions. Thank you Scott County for making Christmas a wonderful time for all the children.

IEMA encourages all Illinoisans to participate in earthquake drill

The Illinois Emergency Management Agency is encouraging all residents, schools, businesses and other organizations to participate in the Great Central U.S. ShakeOut on Oct. 17 at 10:17 am. The goal of this “Drop, Cover and Hold On� drill is to draw attention to the earthquake hazard that exists in Illinois, across the country and around the world.

The annual ShakeOut is an international event involving millions of participants from more than 40 states and territories and several countries. To date, millions of people have registered worldwide, including more than two million people in the central United States.

Illinois is sandwiched between two active seismic zones: the New Madrid Seismic Zone and the Wabash Valley Seismic Zone.

Earthquakes can occur at anytime, anywhere and without warning On Sept. 27, a 3.27 magnitude earthquake shook parts of the Missouri bootheel.

On Monday, Sept. 30, the United States Geological Survey reports seven earthquakes occurred in one day. Geologist are warning residents that while we often associate earthquakes with the west coast, quakes can and do occur closer to home. This underscores

the importance of preparedness.

An earthquake can strike when you are at work, at home, at school, or while on vacation. ShakeOut provides the opportunity to practice what you would do in the event of an earthquake.

Shakeout Participation is as easy as 1, 2, 3‌ 1. REGISTER your home, school or organization on the ShakeOut website: www.

ShakeOut.org/centralus. Once registered, your point of contact will receive important information about earthquakes and preparedness.

2. INFORM the members of your home, school or organization of your participation plans.

3. PRACTICE “DROP, COVER and HOLD ON� on Oct. 17 at 10:17 am.

Q Drop to the ground onto your hands and knees.

Q Cover your head and neck with one arm to protect yourself from falling objects.

Q Hold On to a sturdy table or desk until the shaking is done.

Additional earthquake preparedness and mitigation information is available on the following websites: http://www.ready.illinois.gov and http://www.cusec.org.

State officials urge caution during harvest season Harvest season is always hectic, but late spring planting this year will mean an especially busy time for farmers over the next few weeks. The Illinois Department of Labor urges farmers not to forsake safety as they race to bring in the 2019 crop. “Harvest season reminds us how important farmers are to Illinois’ economy and our way of life. But this busy time also brings additional risks to agriculture workers,� said Michael Kleinik, director of the Illinois Department of Labor. “We want farmers to head home to their families safe and sound at the end of each day.�

Vehicle safety is an especially important focus this time of year. Tractor overturns are the leading cause of fatalities in the agriculture industry, according to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration. These accidents result in about 130 deaths each year nationwide. “The roll overs and lefthand turns by farm vehicles on roadways seem to be the top two safety issues,� said Dave Newcomb, Ag Rescue Program Manager with the Illinois Fire Service Institute.

While tractor roll-over accidents most often occur on the farm, roadways also pose a major safety hazard.

Too often a vehicle attempting to pass causes a collision before the tractor or farm implement can finish a lefthand turn. Some collisions occur simply because the driver fails to reduce speed for the slower moving farm implement.

Newcomb says impatience and speed are a deadly com-

bination on rural roads this time of year. Sadly, a farm vehicle/car collision this month near Sterling resulted in the death of a 9-year-old girl. The child was a passenger in a vehicle attempting to pass a farm implement. The car struck a grain cart. “Please, be patient. Please, slow down,� said Newcomb.

Visibility is also a key to safety on the roads. All agricultural vehicles using the public roadways must display the fluorescent orange Slow Moving Vehicle triangle. Additionally, tractors and other self-powered farm vehicles must have proper lighting. According to Illinois law: Q Lighting is required from 30 minutes before sunset to 30 minutes after sunrise.

Q There should be two white lamps on the front of the vehicle, visible from at least 1000 feet to the front of the vehicle.

Q There should be two red lamps on the rear of the vehicle, visible from at least 1000 feet to the rear of the vehicle.

Q There should be at least one flashing amber signal lamp on the rear of the vehicle, mounted as high as possible and visible from at least 500 feet, which can be used during daylight as well.

Drivers should remember that farm vehicle operators have limited visibility to the rear. Anyone passing such a vehicle needs to use extreme caution.

Modern farm equipment provides effective safety devices if they are used properly. Death and serious injury from tractor roll overs can be

prevented by roll-over protective structures – a roll bar or cage designed to provide a safe space around the driver.

But too often workers fail to use a vital part of this safety device – a safety belt. “We have had fatalities where the people were thrown from the tractor and the roll-over protection pinned them to the ground and in one situation actually drowned the person because they were not buckled in,� said Newcomb. “You need to use all of the components.�

Newcomb offers three more words of advice to help avoid making dangerous mistakes this harvest season. Rest. Nutrition. Hydration. He knows of one farm operation this year that has decided to not work on Sundays during harvest to give its employees needed rest. “And they determined it only added one day to the overall length of harvest,� said Newcomb, noting that it paid other benefits as well. “He told me, ‘We weren’t tired, so we caught little (maintenance) things before they became a real problem.’�

Farmers may not be convinced to take a whole day off during harvest, but at a minimum, Newcomb urges them to take a break every couple of hours – you can use it not only to stretch your legs but to make a quick inspection of your tractor or combine. Also, your tractor isn’t the only thing that needs fuel. Make sure to eat and drink fluids to stay alert. “It really doesn’t have to be non-stop. Take a few minutes for yourself for safety’s sake,� said Newcomb.

Hello Scott County; Sorry to see the weather get so cold so fast but it is that time of year. It looks like a long cold winter ahead.

Pumpkins are plentiful this year and some really big ones are available. The kids should have fun choosing just the right one for their Halloween pumpkin to carve and give personality to. The display of carved pumpkins at the Washington Park in Springfield will be quite awesome this year as it usually is. Don`t forget it will be the weekend of 18 out 19.

There will be food stands

on site for hot chocolate or a cold drink to go with your food order.

Sorry the Cougars lost their game on Friday night.

I hope they get back on track soon. I am sure they will, just in a slump now the only way is up.

With as many Chevrolet Spark automobiles out there being driven everyday it is surprising that a lot of garages do not carry the filters to fit them. The car owner has to go to the parts store to get a filter.

Last Week`s Trivia - -Amnesia is a condition

where a persons memory is impaired, In retrograde amnesia, a person is unable to recall prior events.

In anterograde amnesia, events after the amnesia are not committed to long term memory. Another type, traumatic amnesia, is when a person cannot remember for a transient period of time.

JWCC to host open house at Southeast Education Center for prospective students and families John Wood Community College will host an Open House at its Southeast Education Center in Pittsfield for prospective students and their families Oct. 29.

The event will take place from 5 to 7 p.m. Attendees will be able to visit with JWCC representatives stationed at various tables throughout the center to learn about academic programs, student life activities, financial aid and scholarships, Certified

Nursing Assistant courses offered at the center and JWCC’s Smart Start colleges courses through regional high schools.

A complimentary light dinner will be provided. Prospective students in attendance will also receive a free JWCC t-shirt.

Reservations are encouraged, but not required, and may be made at www.jwcc. edu/openhouse or by calling the JWCC admissions office at 217.641.4337.

U.S. Postal Service announces new prices for 2020 The United States Postal Service has filed notice with the Postal Regulatory Commission (PRC) of price changes to take effect Jan. 26, 2020.

The proposed prices, approved by the Governors of the Postal Service, would raise Mailing Services product prices approximately 1.9 percent. Shipping Services price increases vary by product. For example, Priority Mail Express would increase 3.5 percent and Priority Mail would increase 4.1 percent, on average.

Although Mailing Services price increases are based on the Consumer Price Index, Shipping Services prices are primarily adjusted according to market conditions.

The Governors believe these new rates will

keep the Postal Service competitive while providing the agency with needed revenue.

If favorably reviewed by the PRC, the new prices will include no increase in the price of a First-Class Mail Forever stamp, which would remain at 55 cents. The singlepiece letter additional ounce price would remain at 15 cents. Also unchanged would be the prices of postcard stamps at 35 cents, and 1-ounce flats at $1.

The PRC will review the prices before they are scheduled to take effect Jan. 26, 2020.

The Postal Service receives no tax dollars for operating expenses and relies on the sale of postage, products and services to fund its operations.

“Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, love for the Father is not in them.

For everything in the world— the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—comes not from the Father but from the world.�

1 John 2:15-16 NIV

n the eighteenth chapter of the Gospel of Matthew, the disciples ask Jesus who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. As Jesus often does, he both shows them and tells them the answer. Jesus calls a child to come over, sets the child in their midst and says “Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. Therefore, whoever takes the lowly position of this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.�

(Matthew 18:3-4 NIV) Jesus calls explicit attention here to the humility and obedience of the child, who came and sat with them without asking questions. And as usual, the kingdom of heaven reverses the values of this world. In the kingdom of heaven, the lowly and humble shall be first. Pride and arrogance, and self-serving ambition may get you the highest position here on earth, but in the kingdom of heaven, the highest position is for the humble and lowly, and those with the simple faith and obedience of a child. The fact that the disciples are even asking the question reveals to Jesus how much they are stuck in the mindset of this world, thinking of hierarchies and pecking orders. Jesus wants them to re-evaluate their worldly values and consider that things in heaven will be quite different. Consider how much your own values (materialism, ambition, pride, etc.) are really the values of this world and not the values of the kingdom of heaven. – Christopher Simon

STATE OF ILLINOIS IN THE CIRCUIT COURT OF THE SEVENTH JUDICIAL CIRCUIT SCOTT COUNTY IN PROBATE

Uninvited house guests expected as temps cool As the weather gets colder and the days get shorter uninvited house guests often start showing up in our homes.

A variety of insects and other creepy crawlies will seek out shelter in our homes to pass the winter. Some of our most frequent guests are box elder bugs, multicolored Asian lady beetles and brown marmorated stink bugs.

Boxelder bugs (Boisea trivittata) are commonly found trying to enter houses, especially if you have a boxelder tree nearby. These insects are about ½â&#x20AC;? long and black with orange or red markings.

During the spring and summer, the adults will feed on leaves and seeds of boxelder trees (and occasionally maple and ash trees). When temperatures begin to cool in the fall, they will start to seek out warmer areas. They are most often attracted to buildings with large southern or western exposures because they are warmer than the surrounding area. As they aggregate on buildings, they will find cracks and other spaces to squeeze into. They will occasionally make their way indoors often end up in walls and attics until warm weather returns.

Multicolored Asian lady beetles (Harmonia axyridis) are also commonly found attempting to make their way into homes. The beetles will vary in color from yellow to reddish-orange and have

anywhere from 0 to 19 spots. They can often be distinguished from other lady beetles by the presence of an â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Mâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; pattern near their head (although it may not always be present/visible). In many places in their native range (Asia), they will overwinter on tall cliffs. Since we lack these in most parts of Illinois, the next best thing is your house (or other buildings).

Another home invader that we are starting to see more and more of in Illinois is the brown marmorated stink bug (Halyomorpha halys). This stink bug is native to Asia and was first discovered in the U.S. in the late 1990s in Pennsylvania. Since then, it has quickly spread throughout the United States. Brown marmorated stink bug (BMSB) will also congregate on buildings looking for somewhere to overwinter. Unlike boxelder bugs and multicolored Asian lady beetle, these insects are more than a nuisance. They will feed on a wide variety of tree fruits, vegetables, crops, and ornamentals and can cause a significant amount of damage. BMSB have the typical â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;shieldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; looking body of stink bugs.

As their name implies, they are marmorated (mottled) brown color. There are a few characteristics that can be used to differentiate them from our native stink bugs: the antennae have white bands on them, they have smooth â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;shoulders,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; and

they have a black and white triangular pattern on their abdomens. There are several different types of insects that are commonly confused with BMSB. If you are unsure of what you have, contact your local extension office.

For all of these insects, the best management strategy is to keep them out of your home in the first place (exclusion).

Make sure windows and doors fit tight and make sure window screens donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have any holes in them. Seal any openings, cracks, and crevices around the foundation, pipes, wires, and chimneys.

Finally, make sure siding, eaves, and soffits are in good condition. Insecticides can be applied to the perimeter of buildings, but are often ineffective.

Since these insects are rather mobile, it can be challenging to get adequate control of them. Once they enter your home, they can be vacuumed up and placed in soapy water and disposed of. Using insecticides to control these insects indoors is generally not recommended.

Good Growing Tip of the Week: Some of our insect guests like stink bugs and multicolored Asian lady beetles have unpleasant smelling defensive chemicals. When vacuuming them up, it may be a good idea to use a cheap vacuum instead of the one youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll regularly be using throughout your house.

Lawmakers plan to push insulin Advertise pricing bill in veto session with us! $100 cap on 30day insulin supply will be on the agenda this monthÂ

By JERRY NOWICKI Capitol News Illinois Lawmakers will aim to pass a law capping out-ofpocket insulin costs at $100 per one monthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s supply when they return for the fall veto session, the billâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sponsors announced Friday at a Chicago news conference. â&#x20AC;&#x153;How much would you pay to keep yourself alive?

How much would you pay to keep your children alive?â&#x20AC;? asked state Sen. Andy Manar, a Bunker Hill Democrat who is sponsoring Senate Bill 667, Amendment 1.

Manar said pharmaceutical companies, insurers and other industry insiders know the answer to that question, which is why the cost of certain brands of insulin jumped from $35 per vial in 2001 up to $289 per vial in 2018.

Emilija Irvin, a high school student from Downers Grove, relayed her story about having type 1 diabetes and how high insulin prices are influencing her college decisions. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For my future, if this keeps going the way itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going, I am very scared,â&#x20AC;? she said.

Irvin plans to become a music performance major in college, but she said people around her have secondguessed her decision because the risk of not having good health insurance after graduation might make insulin unaffordable. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As a result, many people, including my own father, have told me that I cannot be a music performance major,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And for me this was really crushing and also really awakening.â&#x20AC;?

State Sen. Steve Stadelman, a Loves Park Democrat, said the issue was personal to his family as well â&#x20AC;&#x201D; his teenage son has type 1 Diabetes and the sticker price for the drug is more than $1,400. He said his family has insurance with a reasonable deductible, but he is concerned about the future. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I worry about my son when he is no longer covered under insurance. Will he face these similar challenges in the future?â&#x20AC;? he said.

Stadelman said making insulin more affordable is not only morally necessary, but good public policy. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s because not using insulin when it is needed can lead to further, more expensive health complications. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If people are rationing insulin right now, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll make them much more unhealthy as they get older,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Diabetics avoid long-term health complications and problems by controlling glu-

cose levels by proper insulin usage. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll save money long-term by reducing the cost of insulin right now.â&#x20AC;?

The bill focuses on those who have insurance but are still paying high out-of-pocket costs for insulin. If itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s passed, those costs would be capped at $100 for a 30-day supply.

For those without insurance, Democratic Gov. J.B. Pritzker said, insulin is already covered on Medicaid. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When you say uninsured, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be insured, those who are insured by Medicaid,â&#x20AC;? he said in responding to a question from the media. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And of course, people who are ineli-

gible for otherwise private insurance can go on Medicaid and would be covered.â&#x20AC;?

Rep. Will Guzzardi, a Chicago Democrat who will sponsor the bill in the House, said they will work on the bill â&#x20AC;&#x153;so that it provides some sort of sanctuary for everyone who needs insulin,â&#x20AC;? including those who are uninsured.

The bill also calls on the Illinois attorney general to investigate insulin pricing, determine whether added consumer protections are needed and provide a report to the governor and state agencies by Nov. 1, 2020.

The legislature returns for fall veto session on Oct. 28.
