Winnebago County

WINNEBAGO COUNTY (WREX) — Winnebago County hit a positive milestone on Monday surrounding the coronavirus crisis; it's the longest stretch with no COVID-19 deaths the county has seen.

So far, a total of 85 people have died from the virus in Winnebago County.

However, the death toll has not changed in 7 days, or the longest stretch since the county saw its first fatality back in March.

On Monday, Winnebago County Health Department Director Dr. Sandra Martell said she's cautiously optimistic about the numbers, but is hopeful the death rate will stay down.

Also during a news briefing, Dr. Martell stressed the importance of businesses following the strict reopening guidelines during the pandemic as the county prepares to move into Phase 4 of reopening.

She said any business not following the rules will be called out publicly.

"Winnebago County Health Department moving forward will post the names of establishments when there are more validated complaints and any establishment that has been issued an order of closure on our website
we want the community to know those facilities and establishments that have not been compliance so consumers can make that choice" said Dr. Martell.

County health officials say the number one complaint it receives on the COVID-19 hotline is about businesses not enforcing masks and social distancing requirements.

Winnebago County surpassed 2,900 total cases of COVID-19 on Monday after the health department reported 19 new cases, bringing its total number of cases up to 2,903 since the pandemic began. The county sits at 85 deaths and a 94 percent recovery rate.

DEKALB, Ill. (WIFR) - Facebook is coming to DeKalb, and will build its 16th data center in the world on 505 acres in DeKalb’s south side, along Route 23 and Gurler Road across from the ChicagoWest Business Center.

The social media giant will invest $800 million into a 907,000-square-foot facility, the 12th to be built in the United States, which will be dubbed the Facebook DeKalb Data Center, according to a news release from the company.

The Facebook DeKalb Data Center will be among the most advanced, energy and water-efficient data center facilities in the world, supporting an estimated 100 operational jobs and hundreds of construction jobs.

“There are many variables that enter into the decision process for data center locations, and DeKalb provided many compelling reasons for Facebook to bring our newest data center to Illinois,” said Rachel Peterson, Vice President of Data Center Strategy for Facebook. “We’re so thankful to the City of DeKalb, the DeKalb County Economic Development Corporation, the Illinois Department of Commerce & Economic Opportunity, and all of our community partners for their diligence and enthusiasm throughout this process. We are proud to join the DeKalb community and look forward to a strong relationship for years to come.”


The 907,000 square foot facility will be the 12th Facebook data center in the U.S. and will be supported by 100% renewable energy. It will also use 80% less water than the average data center and once completed, will be LEED Gold certified. As one of the largest data centers in Illinois, the Facebook DeKalb Data Center will accelerate opportunities for the community to attract skilled jobs, while increasing the northwest region’s competitive digital edge, according to the company.

“Today, we’re proud to celebrate that DeKalb will be Facebook’s newest home,” said Jerry Smith, Mayor of DeKalb. “It’s a boon to our community, and once online, this data center will be part of a network that connects people all over the world. We hope that the ripple effect of Facebook’s decision will be a catalyst for more companies to see all that DeKalb and this region have to offer.”

Facebook says DeKalb was chosen as the site for its newest data center site due to its access to renewable energy, a strong talent pool, higher education institutions, community partners and strong infrastructure.

Facebook is partnering with the City of DeKalb, the Kishwaukee Water Reclamation District, and Krusinski Construction Company to help design, build and provide support for infrastructure in the area. This includes nearly three miles of water lines, one and a half miles of sewer extension and repaving local roads.


Hundreds of construction workers will work onsite for several years. Facebook will be hiring for data center jobs including technicians, engineers, construction management, facility managers, logistics professionals, and security personnel. Mortenson Construction was selected as the general contractor for the DeKalb Data Center. The site will employ an estimated 1,200 construction and trades at the project’s peak.

DeKalb leaders weigh in on Facebook’s new data center

DEKALB, Ill. (WREX) — Facebook is coming to DeKalb. That's where the social media giant is building a multi-million dollar data center.

Facebook currently has 12 data centers in the entire county and 16 in the entire world.

What is now a construction site in DeKalb will soon be Facebook's newest data center.

"DeKalb has for a long time been searching for a new identity. Facebook is giving us that opportunity," said DeKalb City Manager Bill Nicklas.

Facebook says the $800 million project will improve connections with communities across the globe.

"A data center itself is the back bone of our infrastructure. It makes sure that when you pick up your device, whether it's a laptop or whether it's a phone, that you're able to use Facebook or Messenger or WhatsApp or Instagram and reach your friends and family around the world," said Facebook Director of Environment Energy and Site Selection Bobby Hollis.

The technology site will rely 100 percent on renewable energy and use 80 percent less water than the other 15 sites. Something Hollis says was highly important when choosing the location.

"We come in and make sure that we're using the least amount of energy possible, the least amount of water possible and then after that is when we make sure we actually source renewable energy for the energy that we do use," said Hollis.

Community leaders spoke on a video Facebook posted that the center will open doors now and in the future.

"We're going to have more property tax revenue. We're going to have more growth in population. We're going to have a resulting increase in sales taxes," said DeKalb Mayor Jerry Smith.

"So construction will have upwards of 1,000 jobs at any point in time and it will stretch out over several years. This is a real commitment to the community for the long term and once we actually get up and running we'll have over 100 jobs for people that will be part of the Facebook family long term: engineers, operations folks" said Hollis.

Planting roots in DeKalb, hoping to grow innovation.

Hollis says the contractor for the data center is Mortenson. Construction can start immediately.

Winnebago County

WINNEBAGO COUNTY (WREX) — Winnebago County hit a positive milestone on Monday surrounding the coronavirus crisis; it's the longest stretch with no COVID-19 deaths the county has seen.

So far, a total of 85 people have died from the virus in Winnebago County.

However, the death toll has not changed in 7 days, or the longest stretch since the county saw its first fatality back in March.

On Monday, Winnebago County Health Department Director Dr. Sandra Martell said she's cautiously optimistic about the numbers, but is hopeful the death rate will stay down.

Also during a news briefing, Dr. Martell stressed the importance of businesses following the strict reopening guidelines during the pandemic as the county prepares to move into Phase 4 of reopening.

She said any business not following the rules will be called out publicly.

"Winnebago County Health Department moving forward will post the names of establishments when there are more validated complaints and any establishment that has been issued an order of closure on our website
we want the community to know those facilities and establishments that have not been compliance so consumers can make that choice" said Dr. Martell.

County health officials say the number one complaint it receives on the COVID-19 hotline is about businesses not enforcing masks and social distancing requirements.

Winnebago County surpassed 2,900 total cases of COVID-19 on Monday after the health department reported 19 new cases, bringing its total number of cases up to 2,903 since the pandemic began. The county sits at 85 deaths and a 94 percent recovery rate.

Trump Retweets Racist Video Showing Supporter Yelling ‘White Power’


The president later deleted the tweet, which once again showed his willingness to use social media to amplify some of the most hateful commentary of some of his followers, even at a moment of unrest.


A White House spokesman said that President Trump was “a big fan of The Villages,” the Florida retirement community where the clash apparently took place. He visited there last year to sign an executive order.

  • June 28, 2020Updated 3:15 p.m. ET

WASHINGTON — President Trump on Sunday retweeted a video of one of his supporters yelling “White power!,” once again using the vast reach of his social media platforms to inflame racial divisions in a nation roiled by weeks of protests about police brutality against black people and demands for social justice reforms.

The edited racist video shows a white man riding in a golf cart bearing “Trump 2020” and “America First” signs during what appears to be an angry clash over the president and race between white residents of a Florida retirement community. Mr. Trump deleted the tweet more than three hours after posting it.

In response to a protester shouting “Where’s your white hood?” and other taunts, the man in the golf cart pumps his fist in the air and says “White power!” twice. The two-minute video continues to show profane exchanges between protesters and other Trump supporters riding on more golf carts.

The president retweeted the video to his millions of followers just after 7:30 a.m., thanking “the great people of The Villages,” the Florida retirement community where the clash apparently took place. He added: “The Radical Left Do Nothing Democrats will Fall in the Fall. Corrupt Joe is shot. See you soon!!!”


The tweet was widely criticized as racist and insensitive, and again demonstrated the president’s willingness use social media to amplify some of the most hateful commentary of some of his followers, even at a moment of national unrest.

Senator Tim Scott of South Carolina, the only black Republican senator, called the video “offensive” and asked Mr. Trump to take it off his Twitter page.

    “There is no question he should not have retweeted it, and he should just take it down,” Mr. Scott said on the CNN program “State of the Union.” “We can play politics with it or we can’t. I’m not going to. I think it’s indefensible. We should take it down.”

Mr. Trump deleted it less than an hour after Mr. Scott’s comments, but he did not condemn the “white power” statement or specifically disavow the sentiment expressed by his supporter.

Judd Deere, a White House spokesman, said Mr. Trump “is a big fan of The Villages.”

“He did not hear the one statement made on the video,” Mr. Deere said. “What he did see was tremendous enthusiasm from his many supporters.”



John R. Bolton, the former national security adviser who just released a scathing book about Mr. Trump, said on Sunday that the president’s inattention to detail made it possible that he did not notice the racist comments.

“He doesn’t pay attention to a lot of things,” Mr. Bolton said on “State of the Union.” “It’s entirely possible that he tweeted this video because he saw the sign, I think it was in the first go-kart that said the Trump 2020 or something like that. That’s all he needed to see. Not paying attention. Not considering all the implications of information he gets.”

But Mr. Bolton added, “It may be that you can draw a conclusion that he heard it, and it was racist, and he tweeted it to promote the message. It’s a legitimate conclusion to draw.”

Either way, the president’s initial decision to approvingly share the blatant support for white supremacy was the latest example of his willingness to use his vast Twitter following to inject incendiary commentary into the ongoing debate in the country over systemic racism.

In May, as protests erupted after the killing of George Floyd, a black man, by a Minneapolis police officer, Mr. Trump tweeted, “When the looting starts, the shooting starts,” a phrase with a long history of connection to racism.


More recently, Mr. Trump has used his Twitter feed to attack protesters who have pulled down statues of Confederate generals, calling them “arsonists, anarchists, looters, and agitators.” On Saturday night, he tweeted out 15 “wanted” posters for people the U.S. Park Police were seeking in connection with vandalism in Lafayette Square, just outside the White House.

The video on Sunday — which could not be independently verified by The New York Times — appeared to show a slow-moving parade through the Florida community with supporters of Mr. Trump riding golf carts, wearing red, white and blue, and displaying pro-Trump materials.


Protesters lined the street, many of them screaming epithets, accusing the Trump supporters of being racists and holding signs calling the president a bigot.

In his tweet, Mr. Trump did not specifically refer to the man who yelled “white power.” But his reference to “the great people of The Villages” was an eerie echo of his comments in the summer of 2017, when he responded to deadly violence by white supremacists in Charlottesville, Va., by saying there were “very fine people on both sides.”

Former Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr., the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, invoked the president’s comments about Charlottesville in response to the video on Sunday.

“We’re in a battle for the soul of the nation — and the President has picked a side,” Mr. Biden tweeted.

Mr. Trump has repeatedly denied that he was expressing support for white supremacy with his “both sides” comment. But the tweet on Sunday underscores what has become a hallmark of his presidency since he took office: a willingness to embrace divisive comments when they are coming from people he perceives to be his supporters.

The president has routinely retweeted far-right messages and a conspiracy theory known as QAnon, which includes people who believe that a “deep state” in the government is filled with satanic pedophiles. Mr. Trump once retweeted VB Nationalist, an anonymous account that has promoted a hoax about top Democrats worshiping the Devil and engaging in child sex trafficking.

“I’ve been retweeted by the President of the United States, President Trump!” the author of the anonymous account tweeted at the time.

An analysis of Mr. Trump’s Twitter account by The New York Times at the end of last year found that the president had retweeted at least 145 unverified accounts that had pushed conspiracy, racist or other fringe content, including more than two dozen that were later suspended by Twitter.

Recently, Twitter has begun to crack down directly on Mr. Trump’s feed, posting warnings on some of his messages. In May, when the president tweeted about shooting following looting, the company added a statement to the post.

“This Tweet violated the Twitter Rules about glorifying violence. However, Twitter has determined that it may be in the public’s interest for the Tweet to remain accessible,” the company wrote. Later, when the president warned that efforts by protesters to set up an “autonomous zone” in Washington, D.C., would be “met with serious force!,” Twitter put up a similar message and blocked it from being retweeted.

The quick deletion of the video on Sunday was a rare instance in which Mr. Trump backed down in the face of criticism. His previous tweets have remained online despite the company’s online warnings.

Belvidere Peace March



Belvidere protesters join with city leaders to unite against racial injustice

NEWS

BELVIDERE, Ill. (WTVO) — Demonstrations demanding racial justice continue across the Stateline. On Saturday, protesters in Belvidere banned together with local leaders to create a united front. Protesters say that the act of solidarity is only the first step on the path to change.

Dozens of community members gathered for a solidarity walk and rally. They were joined by city leaders including the mayor and police chief as they marched.

“It’s a beginning. It’s a way for us to start a working relationship with the mayor, city officials, and the Belvidere Police Department, in order to figure out alternate ways of bringing the community together,” explained Bernard Barnes of the Belvidere Social Justice and Peace Society.

Members hosted their first demonstration against racial injustice on Saturday. Speakers, including Mayor Mike Chamberlain, addressed the crowd at the Belvidere Community Building before the group started marching towards the State Street Bridge.

Chamberlain says he was invited to attend after meeting with the organizers.

“This is what happens. This is what happens when people talk to each other. This is what happens when people come together in community and unity. This couldn’t have been a better event than it was, and we’re very grateful to all involved. So we look forward to doing more,” Mayor Chamberlain said.

After a brief stop on the bridge, the group marched back to the community building where Police Chief Shane Woody took his turn at the podium. The chief agreed that the demonstration was only the first step in building unity in Belvidere.

“Change and growth and striving to be better doesn’t have an end date. They’re willing to work with us, we’re absolutely willing to work with them,” Police Chief Woody said.

Bernarnd Barnes from the Belvidere Social Justice and Peace Society is optimistic that working with city leaders will lead to real change.

“We met a few times, we built that trust, and we truly believe that they’re willing to work with us, and they want to make things better for our community,” Barnes said.

Barnes says the organization will have quarterly meetings with the city officials moving forward.

Saturday Night Strool in Belvidere



City of Belvidere hosts Saturday Night Stroll for the first time this season

BELVIDERE (WREX) — Community members got to take a stroll in the heart of Belvidere for the first time this year.

A summer time favorite is back, but it's not the same as last year.

"We already had the bands booked so we thought it would be a good test drive to see how the crowd would handle social distancing requirements," said Belvidere Community Development Planner Gina DelRose.

After months of cancelled events, the city created "Saturday Night Stroll" where for the first time this season Buchanan Street is blocked off for live music food and vendors.

"We do ask that if you are in line for food or drinks you wear a mask but if you are in one of your designated sitting areas you don't need to wear a mask. We have extra hand washing stations set up. Our food trucks are spaced out more than usual so that the lines don't mix with each other," said DelRose.

The state is in its first weekend of phase four and people were quick to take advantage.

"It's nice to go out. Every Saturday we go out. That's our day out and we haven't been going out for months so it was something to look forward to, to do again," said Poplar Grove resident John Kowalkowski.

DelRose says people have to follow COVID-19 guidelines if there is going to be more strolling this summer.

"I think there is a bit of hesitance towards the mask. Everyone is excited to be out. Everybody just wants to be with their friends and their family and so a lot of the times we kinda do have to remind everyone to wear their mask," said La Costa Bora Manager Shelby Flores.

"We're just trying to keep separate away from everyone. It's not over. It's not going to be over until there's vaccine so we're still kinda doing our social distancing on our own," said Kowalkowski.

Taking a leap of faith to create a fun and safe space.

"We are just taking it day by day. Trying to serve everyone," said Flores.

The Belvidere Chamber of Commerce also had a booth set up at Saturday's event to give information on the 2020 Census.

BELVIDERE (WREX) — Collins Aerospace employees have used a park in Belvidere for cook outs and celebrations for more than 50 years. Now that park is under new ownership but Collins Aerospace hopes its legacy and memories will be passed on.

Employees at Collins Aerospace have fond memories of a park in Belvidere.

"I remember the first time I went to that park. I was an intern and I was just floored at not only how big the park was but how many employees were apart of the Sundstrand Corporation at that time," said Electric Systems Vice President Stan Kottke.

The park was right next door to Hamilton Sundstrand's location. In the 1990s what is now Collins Aerospace moved all of its facilities to Rockford.

"As families have gotten busier and busier, the park really wasn't being used as it originally was. It hit us that this beautiful park and it's being used but it's also
being locked up and so the park district has a better opportunity to get use out of the park," said Kottke.

The company is donating the keys to the Belvidere Park District. The Executive Director Mark Pentecost says the fully developed 16-acre park is one of the largest land donations the park district has seen to date.

"The additional space is huge. It will definitely give us bigger capacities to offer certain services that we just weren't able to," said Pentecost.

"It has a baseball field and a volleyball court and a couple of pavilions and so the park district has talked about being able to use the space for summer camps and programs for kids," said Kottke.

With COVID-19 restrictions, the gift offers possibilities for now and for later.

"It gave us an area where we can provide some safe space if we needed to. Although, we can open the doors and make it an open outdoor space for the camps," said Pentecost.

"We can actually organize bigger events like carnivals and we can do things that might not be available anywhere else," said Kottke.

The Belvidere Park District has named the park Sundstrand Park to commemorate the company and its dedication to the community.

A ceremony for the donation will be held on Tuesday.

Winnebago County

WINNEBAGO COUNTY (WREX) — Winnebago County hit a positive milestone on Monday surrounding the coronavirus crisis; it's the longest stretch with no COVID-19 deaths the county has seen.

So far, a total of 85 people have died from the virus in Winnebago County.

However, the death toll has not changed in 7 days, or the longest stretch since the county saw its first fatality back in March.

On Monday, Winnebago County Health Department Director Dr. Sandra Martell said she's cautiously optimistic about the numbers, but is hopeful the death rate will stay down.

Also during a news briefing, Dr. Martell stressed the importance of businesses following the strict reopening guidelines during the pandemic as the county prepares to move into Phase 4 of reopening.

She said any business not following the rules will be called out publicly.

"Winnebago County Health Department moving forward will post the names of establishments when there are more validated complaints and any establishment that has been issued an order of closure on our website
we want the community to know those facilities and establishments that have not been compliance so consumers can make that choice" said Dr. Martell.

County health officials say the number one complaint it receives on the COVID-19 hotline is about businesses not enforcing masks and social distancing requirements.

Winnebago County surpassed 2,900 total cases of COVID-19 on Monday after the health department reported 19 new cases, bringing its total number of cases up to 2,903 since the pandemic began. The county sits at 85 deaths and a 94 percent recovery rate.

† CDC is no longer reporting the number of persons under investigation (PUIs) that have been tested, as well as PUIs that have tested negative. Now that states are testing and reporting their own results, CDC’s numbers are not representative of all testing being done nationwide.
