BY TIA CAROL JONES While Collab oraction has been working with youth since 2015, during the pandemic, it wanted to create a system that was more in line with its adult programs and its mission to cultivate social change. They came up with the con cept to pick a small group of exceptional artists who had pas sion and a voice for social justice issues, pairing them with a professional mentor, for a whole “Really,year.the idea of creating the next generation of social changemakers. Artists that are really not just trained to be excellent at executing their craft and sharing their hopes and dreams and their voice, but also, directly fo cused on cultivating social change in Chicago,” said Anthony Moseley, artistic director of Collaboraction. Phallon Pierce, Kyra Pierce and Cortez Lewis are three youth arts activists who are participating in this year’s pro gram.

They also made a book list with a diverse list for elementary school aged children, as well as created a nonprofit called Positive Change “CollaboractionCharities.really helps us get our message out in a way that we can relate to people. Anyone can watch, dance, or listen to people sing, and that positive form of art can help people relate to us,” Phallon said.Cortez has done work with racial equity in the education system during his time in high school. Now, in college, Cortez performs po etry and his music with or ganizations that push social change. Cortez will perform a new piece that he will be debuting on their tour.

This legislation amends the Energy Policy Act of 2005 to improve collaboration between relevant nuclear energy university stakeholders and to maintain and upgrade existing university research reactor infrastructure. As we look for carbon-free energy sources to help combat climate change, nuclear energy stands out as an established technology that can and does provide consistent, clean energy to our nation. Research reactors, like the ones supported in this legislation, offer an opportunity for demonstration projects or exper iments testing new reactor technologies. This legislation also provides support for programs converting research reactors from high-enrichment, weapons-grade fuels, to the low-enrichment fuels used by the next generation of advanced nuclear reactors.

JOYCE EMPHASIZES BACK-TO-SCHOOL TAX HOLIDAY ON SCHOOL SUPPLIES Illinois will institute a 10-day tax holiday on school supplies and working families and teachers can expect to have reduced shopping costs ahead of the upcoming school year, thanks to support from State Senator Patrick Joyce. “For educators and working families, back-to-school shopping can be a stressful time due to the costs of new items needed for every school year,” said Joyce (D-Essex). “Institut ing a tax holiday will help relieve burdensome costs in order to ensure students are prepared for the upcoming school year.” The law lowers the state tax rate on school supplies and eligible clothes and footwear from 6.25% down to 1.25% for 10 days. This tax break began on Aug. 5 and will go through Aug. 14,“For2022.our students to be successful in school, it is important they are provided with new supplies each year,” said Joyce. “I urge all Illinois families and educators to make use of this tax break in order to contribute to our students’ success.”Public Act 102-0700 took effect on April 19, 2022 and was fully implemented with the Fiscal Year 2023 state budget on July 1, 2022.
POLITICAL AFFAIRS
The new records achieved this year are even more noteworthy when considering only 500,000 claims were paid between 2003 and 2014. Frerichs became state treasurer in 2015. Under Frerichs, I-Cash has returned about $1.5 bil lion through more than 1.2 million claims.Illinois is a national leader in the unclaimed property space and is frequently consulted by others who are reforming their unclaimed property laws, rules and proce dures.Frerichs noted that he and his team work hard to inform people about unclaimed property, using different types of approaches to spread the word. The Treasurer takes out newspaper ads across the state twice each year and sends letters to people who have newly reported unclaimed property val ued at $100 or more. He frequently encourages people to check the I-Cash website every six months to find out if there is unclaimed property that should be returned to them.An estimated one-in-four adults in Illinois who search the I-Cash website find unclaimed property, with an average claim of $1,000.Examples of the dramatic changes to a cumbersome, pa per-bound system resulting in tripling the number of claims paid each year include: Fast Track – Simple, online claims up to $2,000 automatically are approved for payment. Started in 2018, Fast Track has paid more than 500,000 claims. Frerichs suc cessfully worked this year to raise this threshold to $5,000. eClaiming – Claimants can easily upload documents, or photos of documents, to the website rather than making copies and mailing them to Springfield at the claim ant’s expense. eClaiming began in 2018 and dramatically reduced payment processing time. Money Match – The Treasur er’s Office compares unclaimed property data with other state data and simply mails checks to tax payers for properties up to $2,000. No claim is necessary. Launched in 2018, more than 139,000 claims have been paid with an approxi mate value of $14 million. Frerichs successfully worked to raise this threshold to $5,000 in FY2023. These enhancements led to paying significantly more claims. In FY2003, approximately 25,000 claims were paid. In FY2015, when Frerichs took office, there were 60,000 claims paid. Now, the number has increased six-fold to 362,352 claims paid. Visit you.unclaimedgov/ICASHwww.illinoistreasurer.tofindoutifanypropertyiswaitingfor

FOSTER PRIORITIES SIGNED INTO LAW AS PART OF CHIPS AND SCIENCE ACT Congressman Bill Foster (D-IL) recently released the following statement after President Biden signed the CHIPS and Science Act into law: “The CHIPS and Science Act is a historic triumph for American science and technological competitiveness, and I’m proud of the bipartisan work we did in Congress to get it to President Biden’s desk,” Foster said. “This law will boost domestic supply chains to lower costs for families and make critical investments to ensure our country leads the way in technological development for generations to come. “I’m especially proud that three of my amendments were included in the final version of this legislation and will play an instrumental role in delivering resources to America’s National Labs, bolstering our nation’s research and develop ment capabilities in nuclear science and biotechnology, and moving the U.S. forward on digital identity technology “This is an important milestone, but it is just the starting point. It is now crucial that appropriations committees in the Senate and House follow through on this historic commit ment, and provide the promised funding necessary to restore U.S. scientific leadership.”

Another Record Year for Unclaimed Property Program
SPRINGFIELD – Illinois’ un claimed property program again set records for the amount of money returned and the number of claims paid during past year, Illinois State Treasurer Michael Frerichs said . The program, also known as I-Cash, returned a record $280 million to taxpayers from July 1, 2021 through June 30, the state’s Fiscal Year 2022. The 362,352 claims paid during that time also is a record.Therecord-setting perfor mance is the result of a complete restructuring of the unclaimed property process under Frerichs. The state treasurer’s office has added electronic claims, eliminated red-tape that slowed small-money claims, and leveraged technolo gy to allow payments to be made without a claim even needing to be filed.“We reached a new high-water mark in reuniting Illinois taxpay ers with money that belongs to them,” Frerichs said. “It shows that using common sense to make the unclaimed property program more efficient has achieved real results.”
The Foster amendments included are: Restore and Modernize Our National Laborato ries Act:This amendment calls for significant investments in infrastructure projects at the National Laboratories. The final version of the legislation included $14.7 billion dollars in infrastructure funding for the National Laboratories, including $10.7 billion of investment in the Office of Science Laboratories.Strengthening Digital Identity Act: This legislation directs the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) to create robust standards and guidance for the implementation of digital identification, a long-overdue and necessary tool for the United States econ omy to transition into the digital age while preventing fraud, ensuring privacy, and improving equity. This will help ensure that NIST is ahead of the curve in establishing standards and guidance for a safe, secure, digital identification.

The CSBG Scholarship Program offers financial aid rang ing from $1,000 to $5,000 for income-eligible residents of the City of Chicago who demonstrate academic achievement, career potential, and educational motivation. Income requirements can be found on the aforementioned website. Displaced and under-employed workers, high school graduates (or equivalent), and those aspiring to higher education and employment are encouraged to apply. “DFSS is here to support students on their path to success, and we look forward to lessening the financial burden of sec ondary education,” DFSS Commissioner Brandie Knazze said. “This year, our scholarships will support at least 70 students as they continue to learn and grow.” The project is supported by funds provided under the Com munity Services Block Grant Program administered by the Illi nois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity. This is the second year in which the City has provided $230,000 in funds to support students, a marked increase from previous allotments of Recipients$100,000.canusetheir

Chicago’s new safe digging ‘ambassadog’ is Finnegan, a rescue pup who once lived on the streets and now has a closet full of fancy clothes
Combined Final Environmental Impact Statement, Record of Decision, and Section 4(f) Evaluation for the Chicago Transit Authority Red Line Extension Project
Chicago — Peoples Gas today unveiled Finnegan — a dog made up of 17 different breeds who moved here from the South — as the company’s new safe digging “ambassadog.” Finnegan’s new job title was announced this morning at Lincoln Park Zoo, where the pup proudly stood before cameras.
Finnegan — whose full name is Finnegan Clover Clovington (and whose shorter nickname is simply “Finn”) — has a rags-toriches backstory. He moved to Chicago from rural Mississippi after being discovered in an abandoned house. A Peoples Gas customer who lives in the Ravenswood neighborhood then met him at an adoption event and fell in love with him.On the inside, Finnegan is a mi x of labrador retriever, beagle, terrier, Australian cattle dog, chow chow, rottweiler, German shepherd, and ten other breeds. On the outside, he is 100% dapper. Finnegan has his own personal collection of bowties, neckties and bandanas. He also owns a tuxedo.Finnegan has his own Instagram page, on which he can be seenmodeling his fancy duds. His account is @finnegan_clover. Finnegan became Chicago’s safe digging ambassadog after entering the Peoples Gas “Doggone it!” contest, in which customers send in photos of their dogs digging. The public then voted online to decide which pupper won — and was impressed by Finnegan’s distinguished demeanor, fierce digging, and of course his wardrobe. For the next year, Finnegan will be fea tured in Peoples Gas promotional campaigns to raise awareness about safe digging and the importance of dialing 811 at least 48 hours before starting any digging project.

CHICAGO – Illinois Humanities, in partnership with the Poetry Founda tion, Brooks Permissions, and the Reva and David Logan Center for the Arts, is proud to announce the winners of the 2022 Gwendolyn Brooks Youth Poetry Awards, an annual competition for Illinois poets in grades K–12. The 25 win ners and 12 honorable mentions were chosen from a record 445 submissions representing 70 schools from across the state. The winning poets will be celebrated at 1 p.m. Saturday, August 20, at a public ceremony at the Reva and David Logan Center for the Arts in Chicago. The ceremony will be hosted by Emily Lansana, and award winners will recite their poems as part of the ceremony. This year, Illinois Poet Laureate Angela Jackson will read a poem at the ceremony in honor of the winning students. Guests can RSVP to attend here. “Congratulations to the winners and honorable mentions of the Gwendo lyn Brooks Youth Poetry Awards,” said Governor JB Pritzker. “In the words of the late great Gwendolyn Brooks, ‘poetry is life distilled.’ Thank you for shar ing a slice of your lives with us. I couldn’t be prouder of each and every one of you. May you never forget the power that language has to inspire hearts, move minds, and change worlds. Here’s to the next generation of Poets Laureate and Pulitzer Prize-winning writers.” Gwendolyn Brooks began the Youth Poetry Awards in 1969 during her tenure as Illinois Poet Laureate, and continued to administer the awards until her passing in 2000. The original youth poetry awards were born out of Ms. Brooks’ belief that a poet laureate, “should do more than wear a crown—[she] should be of service to the young.” In 2017, in honor of the centennial of Ms. Brooks’s birth, Illinois Human ities joined with the Poetry Foundation, Brooks Permissions, and the Reva and David Logan Center for the Arts to revive the awards to honor the tremendous legacy of Gwendolyn Brooks, the first Black person ever to win a Pulitzer Prize, and to celebrate and amplify the words and experiences of young poets from across Illinois. In the six years since the revival of the awards, over 1,800 poems have been submitted from young poets all across the state. “The annual Gwendolyn Brooks Youth Poetry Awards ceremony cele brates the vibrant community of youth poets across the state of Illinois, who each year demonstrate the wisdom, power, and creativity of our state’s young people,” said Gabrielle Lyon, executive director of Illinois Humanities.

COMFORTING COLOR
“The Vintage Homestead Color Collection offers an effortless look that reveals the importance of being hope ful to find stability and balance,” said Ashley Banbury, HGTV Home by Sherwin-Williams senior color designer. “Our 2023 Color Collection of the Year revives elements from the past that are perfectly paired with vintage, com fortable and classic colors.” Blending Past and Present Striking a balance between old and new can take many forms, as these styles show:
• Heritage Revival: An interest in reviving the past is evident in design trends like a remerging appreciation of antiques and vintage elements, such oversized furniture and traditional shapes. To capture this style, your design should focus on contrasting old and new for a mix-andmatch look. Ultimately, the aesthetic is a look that feels simultaneously individualistic and curated. A cohesive color scheme can allow the various elements to stand on their own while working in harmony for an intentional design. For example, the HGTV Home by Sherwin-Williams 2023 Color Collection of the Year includes a combination of familiar tones that have been thoughtfully curated by design experts who borrow color and design concepts from the past for a hopeful future and a sense of belonging. Hues like Poetry Plum and Hot Cocoa evoke warmth and depth, while moderate shades like Restrained Gold and Glamour offer fresh ways to incorporate mid-range neutrals. Meanwhile, soft tones like Natural Linen and Cool Beige offer subtle color for lighter, brighter spaces.
• Vintage Homestead: Reviving design elements from the past with mixed patterns, classic shapes and vintage decor adds up to comfortable and comforting design. With this trend, prints and patterns encompass a range of styles, reinforcing how interiors connect to fash ion. Mixing classic elegance with sleek vintage shapes is refining the concept of polished comfort. To achieve the look, curate pieces in heritage shapes and patterns, along with retro accents. Be sure to incorporate vintage lighting and glass, as well. A versatile color choice like Darkroom, the 2023 Color of the Year from HGTV Home by Sherwin-Wil liams, is an alluring shade that is classic enough for heritage interiors but also modernly retro for a throw back-inspired aesthetic. It’s a neutral perfect for creating an eclectic yet modern look inside and out. Indoors, use it on the walls to offset more earthy brown and taupe tones in your furnishings and textiles. Get inspired to combine the past with the present for a comforting design that’s all your own at hgtvhomeby sherwinwilliams.com. Crafting a Conservatory Today’s homeowners are also increasingly inter ested in biophilic design and bringing the outdoors in, which prompts a conservatory aesthetic in home design. To achieve the look, design your space to make maxi mum use of natural light in creative ways. Incorporate large potted trees and statement plants that blur the lines between indoors and outdoors.
The latest styles reflect reviving and comforting colors influenced by heritage and romance, lending to a look that is familiar in an individualistic way. With more people living their everyday, working lives at home, many homeowners are discovering the contentment that comes with slowing down. Often that means looking to the past to find comfort for moving forward.Nostalgia serves as an emotional tool that delivers deep-rooted serenity and powerful healing properties. Looking to the past is often beneficial during times of uncertainty and can be an opportunity to bring styles and practices back to the present to create an appreciation of the past.Whether living through the romance of rural life styles, the comfort of home or the nostalgia from far-off times, some of today’s most beloved design aesthetics celebrate the past, present and future while bringing balance, hope and comfort for you and your family to embrace.
• Mixing and Matching of Eras: A new take on retro design is emerging in which eras are blended and new and old furnishing work side by side. To get this look, you’ll craft a space that marries historical and contempo rary design, celebrating both the old and new. To design for longevity, incorporate pieces that are ambiguous in era and stand the test of time.
Timeless Color Using color to evoke feelings and emotions is hardly new but combining a carefully curated color palette with other design elements can allow you to create a look that pays homage to the past while breathing new life into your living Reimaginingspace. classic, familiar tones allows you to achieve a design motif that is equal parts reminiscent and refreshing.
Fill your home with balance and hope (Family Features) In the world of design, what’s old inevitably becomes new again, and a similar pattern is inspiring today’s on-trend color palettes for home decor.

“The RTF technology developed at the University of Bir mingham hits a testing sweet spot. It’s just as sensitive as PCR and LAMP tests, but without the time constraints and laboratory equipment required for these methods,” said Robert Kasprzak, Chief Executive Officer at Innova. “We’re committed to accel erating RTF’s growth and further complementing our current portfolio of healthcare diagnostic products that strengthen the pandemic management solutions we offer to global custom ers. We’ve been searching globally for advanced diagnostics technologies to manage the current pandemic and mitigate future healthcare challenges, and we were impressed by the RTF testing method and the team behind it deserves enormous credit for their innovation.”
NEW COVID-19 TESTING METHOD IS AS SENSITIVE AS A PCR TEST, BUT FASTER THAN A LATERAL FLOW TEST

PASADENA, Calif., PRNewswire -- A unique testing method invented at the University of Birmingham is set for a global rollout after its commercial rights were licensed to the world’s largest COVID-19 test provider, Innova Medical Group – a California-based global health screen ing and diagnostics innovator and a world leader in the manufacture and distribution of COVID-19 rapid tests. Known as Reverse Transcription-Free EXPAR (RTF-EXPAR) testing, this new technol ogy offers detection in as little as 10 minutes. Reverse Transcription-Free EXPAR (RTF-EXPAR) testing offers detection in as little as 10Detailedminutes.test evaluations reveal the method delivers a fast, accurate, highly sensitive and simple test for COVID-19 detection, meaning the test could be deployed en masse at entertainment venues, airport arrival terminals, and in remote settings where clinical testing laboratories are not available. The method is just as sensitive as both PCR and LAMP tests - currently used in hospital settings - and is also faster and more sensitive than lateral flow tests, enabling detection at low vi ral levels. Crucially, it can be used with testing techniques which bypass the need for specialized laboratory equipment, which would reduce delays in waiting for test results, which currently requires samples to be sent to specialist laboratories. The assay was invented and tested at the University of Bir mingham, which found its sensitivity to be equivalent to quan titative PCR testing. This new RTF-EXPAR testing platform is also being adapted for the detection of other viruses, meaning the tests can be quickly adapted to cover both new variants and new viruses. The technology’s new license holder, Innova Medical Group, is the world’s largest provider of lateral flow tests. The company is aiming to accelerate RTF-EXPAR’s global rollout for widespread use by 2023. The approach behind RTF uses reagents that can be adapted for the detection of other viruses, meaning the tests can be quick ly adapted to cover both new variants and other viruses, such as human papillomavirus (HPV) which causes cervical cancer
“The RTF test rapidly amplifies small quantities of viral genetic material, producing a detectable signal within 10 minutes, which is much faster than PCR or LAMP testing and even quicker than lateral flow tests,” said Professor Tim Dafforn from the University of Birmingham. “The reverse transcription and amplification steps slow down existing COVID-19 assays like LAMP and PCR, which are based on nucleic acid detection, thus an ideal test would be both sufficiently sensitive and speedy; the new RTF test achieves that goal in two ways - a new RNA-toDNA conversion step we designed avoids reverse transcription and the amplification step to generate the read-out signal uses EXPAR, an alternative DNA amplification process.”
Professor James Tucker from the University of Birming ham added, “EXPAR amplifies DNA at a single temperature, thus avoiding lengthy heating and cooling steps found in PCR; however, while LAMP also uses a single temperature for amplification, EXPAR is a simpler and a more direct process in which much smaller strands are amplified making it an even faster DNA amplification technique than not only PCR but also LAMP.”For more information on Innova Medical Group, please visit: https://innovamedgroup.com/ PRNewsfoto/Innova Medical Group, Inc.
