Flagging sexual assault | WTAX 93 5FM/1240AM

Photo: Saga Communications University of Illinois Springfield is planting a flag – one thousand of them, actually – to call attention to the problem of sexual assault. April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month, and the first Tuesday in April is the Day of Action. Because public gatherings such as marches and speeches are discouraged during the pandemic, a UIS student’s idea this year was to plant one thousand tiny flags, each bearing a teal ribbon signifying survival of sexual assault, on the university’s quad. Rexann Whorton, director of UIS’ women’s center, says each flag symbolizes 433 people who are victimized by sexual assault in America in a year.

Reimagining downtown

Jim Moll may not be the smartest man in Springfield, but the Hanson Professional Services engineer sounded like it during a public meeting held last week to discuss progress on a rail line under construction along 10th Street. The new line will replace tracks along Third Street. Moll s been in charge of the $353 million project for more than a decade, and he says it s on time and on budget. The feds gave the green light in 2012 and have paid millions of dollars since then to make it happen – there remains a $60 million gap, Moll says, but he s confident that the money will come. He seems to know every detail, from construction costs to whether charging stations for electric vehicles will be included in a planned transportation center adjacent to the Sangamon County courthouse on Ninth Street.

It s a long way from Guyana to Springfield

A new memoir traces an immigrant s journey of faith and kindness June Wood Agamah moved to Springfield in 1995 with her husband, Dr. Edem Agamah, and their three young daughters. It s a long way from her Guyana homeland – where she was called Caryl. Edem was born in Ghana. Frequently Americans assume they are from the same country. They were born nearly 4,000 miles and an ocean apart. Guyana is on the northern coast of South America and Ghana on the western coast of Africa. June and Edem have a deep faith and feel guided by God in their life s journey. They ve led 37 mission trips to Ghana, training volunteers months in advance of the biannual trips. Their daughters accompanied them from a young age and experienced Ghana s culture and people. Yet, June s homeland was mostly a mystery. In 2014, middle daughter Aseye delved into a closet looking for old photos of her mother to make a collage for her mother s birthday. Aseye found no baby picture, as none were taken. Ho
