June 17, 2022 by Barrington Hills Observer

Cruise Night returns to downtown Barrington from 6-8 p.m. Thursdays, June 23 to Aug. 18, at Cook and Station streets and the BMO Harris Bank Lot.

Submitted by Village of Barrington

The village of Barrington is thrilled to announce that Cruise Nights, a 20-year community tradition, will return from 6 to 8 p.m. Thursdays, June 23 through Aug. 18, at Cook and Station streets and BMO Harris Bank Lot (Lot 18) in downtown Barrington.

After a hiatus in 2020 due to the pandemic and several evening Cruise Nights in 2021, this year’s season is packed with various theme nights.

The Barrington Farmers Market will also be set up in the BMO Harris Bank Lot so event goers can enjoy cars as well as purchase fresh produce, seasonal products and hot food. Families can enjoy face-painting, a balloon artist, kid-friendly games, visits with Barrington’s many nonprofits and more.

“I grew up in Barrington and was able to enjoy Cruise Nights and see how it’s evolved over time,” said Events & Marketing Manager Clancy Potts.

“Seeing the classic cars drive through town on a summer evening is such a blast, and it’s really exciting to be planning this event and restoring it to its glory. We can’t wait to see new and returning car enthusiasts this summer.”

Each week features a theme that showcases different car makes and models, but all cars are welcome on all nights. While there is no registration to participate in Cruise Night, parking is first-come, first-served.

Cruise Night is free and open to the public.

The weekly schedule is as follows:

• June 23: Ford Mercury
• June 30: Red, White & Blue
• July 7: Corvette
• July 14: Orphan Night
• July 21: 4X4
• July 28: Convertible
• Aug. 11: Exotics
• Aug. 18: ’70s

After a hiatus in 2020 due to the pandemic and several evening Cruise Nights in 2021, this year's season is packed with various theme nights.

The Barrington Farmers Market will also be set up in the BMO Harris Bank Lot so event goers can enjoy cars as well as purchase fresh produce, seasonal products and hot food. Families can enjoy face-painting, a balloon artist, kid-friendly games, visits with Barrington's many nonprofits and more.

"I grew up in Barrington and was able to enjoy Cruise Nights and see how it's evolved over time," said Events & Marketing Manager Clancy Potts.

"Seeing the classic cars drive through town on a summer evening is such a blast, and it's really exciting to be planning this event and restoring it to its glory. We can't wait to see new and returning car enthusiasts this summer."

Each week features a theme that showcases different car makes and models, but all cars are welcome on all nights. While there is no registration to participate in Cruise Night, parking is first-come, first-served.

Cruise Night is free and open to the public.

The weekly schedule is as follows:

• June 23: Ford Mercury

If you use a lot of air conditioning, live in a big house or own an electric car, your electricity bill might go down starting next year. If you don’t, odds are you’ll start paying more, thanks to a change to how electricity bills work that the California Public Utility Commission unanimously approved last week .

The change, backed by the utility companies, will affect at least 34 million Californians who are customers of utility companies such as Pacific Gas & Electric, Southern California Edison and San Diego Gas & Electric. It does not apply to customers of municipal utilities like the Los Angeles Department of Water & Power.

My colleague Melody Petersen reported on the proposal . Here’s what you need to know about the new billing system.

Big energy users could pay less, low energy users could pay more

The new electricity bills will be composed of two parts: usage rate, and a fixed charge to cover costs such as maintaining electric grids.

The flat rate will be $24.15 for most customers. Low-income customers will be eligible for discounted fixed fees of $6 or $12. Customers will not be required to verify their incomes, according to the commission.

For those enrolled in the California Alternate Rates for Energy (CARE) program, the monthly fixed rate will be $6 instead of $24.15, and for Californians enrolled in the Family Electric Rate Assistance Program (FERA), it will be $12.

“This billing structure does not impose any new fees,” said the commission . “It simply reallocates how existing costs are shared among customers.”

Customers who use a relatively large amount of electricity per month — such as those living in hotter climates and electric vehicle owners — will see the most benefits, said Mary Flannelly, policy and communications advisor for the CPUC’s independent Public Advocate’s Office.

The CPUC estimates that households that power every home appliance and a vehicle with electricity will save an average of $28 to $44 monthly with the new rate structure. If you’re a low energy user, Flanelly said, your flat fee might add more to your bill than you’ll save from the lower usage rates.

In an analysis conducted for the Stop the Big Utility Tax coalition, Flagstaff Research estimated that under the new billing system, about 4 million households that use lower levels of electricity would pay $65 to $225 more a year.

Utility companies pushed for this change and say it’s a win

Professors at UC Berkeley’s Energy Institute wrote a paper in 2021 that proposed reducing the rate per kilowatt-hour and introducing a new progressive flat rate that rose according to income, among other things.

The utility companies, which partly fund the institute , liked the paper’s recommendation because the new monthly fee would allow them to more evenly distribute fixed costs among customers, while making it more cost-effective for more Californians to switch to electric appliances and vehicles.

PG&E asked the CPUC, which is composed of commissioners appointed by Gov. Gavin Newsom, for a new monthly charge a year later in a regulatory filing . Newsom introduced an enormous budget revision three months after that, which included legislation “to adjust electricity rates to predetermined fixed charges.” The bill went from Assembly to law in four days , without discussion in the Assembly committee hearing.

The utility companies suggested that the monthly flat fee be as high as $128 — which the CPUC rejected last week, offering the plan that passed instead.

These changes soften the financial pain of using a lot of electricity, which utility companies and the CPUC hope will incentivize more people to switch to electric cars, stoves and other appliances.

“This new billing structure puts us further on the path toward a decarbonized future,” said the commission’s president, Alice Reynolds .

Profits or prevention?

The CPUC says the change is not designed to generate extra profits for electric companies. Instead, the revenue from the fee will help cover the costs of maintaining the electric grid , preventing wildfires and funding energy efficiency programs.

The commission also hopes to collaborate with the utility companies to educate customers on the new rate structure.

The proposal will go into effect in late 2025 for customers of SCE and SDG&E, while PG&E customers will begin receiving the new electricity bills in early 2026.

LONDON (AP) — For one night only, the utilitarian, concrete basement of London’s Tate Modern museum was transformed into a lush green jungle — and it was the hottest fashion ticket in town.

Luxury Italian fashion house Gucci hosted its star-studded cruise collection catwalk at the Thames-side modern art museum Monday, showing a series of delicate sheer outfits, relaxed denim and daywear, all adorned with the brand’s coveted leather bags and other accessories with the double-G logo.

Singers Dua Lipa and Solange Knowles were on the front row with supermodel Kate Moss and her daughter Lila, along with actors Demi Moore, Paul Mescal and Andrew Scott. Also in attendance were Salma Hayek and her husband, Francois-Henri Pinault, who is chair and CEO of Kering, Gucci’s parent company.

It was a big-budget event and the first cruise collection by Sabato De Sarno, who was named Gucci’s creative director last year and debuted his womenswear designs in September.

Gucci normally stages its shows in Milan, but like other fashion powerhouses it chooses locations around the world to show off its cruise, or resort, collections — the shows in between the main spring and autumn displays. Last year’s destination was the Gyeongbokgung Palace in Seoul, South Korea.

On Monday, models meandered down a runway that wound its way around hundreds of ferns, overhanging plants and mossy paths, the mass of green a contrast to the grey, industrial show space. De Sarno said that contrast extends to his latest designs, which paired luxurious evening looks and floral embroidery with casual jackets and slouchy denim.

And what of the footwear? Comfort comes first, with all outfits, even the most glamorous evening gowns, paired with Mary Jane shoes, ballet flats or platform loafers worn with little white socks.

“Rigor and extravagance, strength in delicacy, Englishness with an Italian accent,” the show notes read.

De Sarno featured a few checked jackets in a nod to British style, though some other designs were a much more subtle tribute. Dresses and coats covered with squares made of a shimmering bead fringe were a reference to Scottish plaids.

Titled “We’ll always have London,” the show was partly a love letter to the British capital, which the brand says plays a key role in its founding story more than a century ago. Its founder, Guccio Gucci, traveled to London as a teenager and had a stint working as a bellhop in the Savoy, the luxury London hotel.

The brand says Guccio took inspiration from that experience when he opened his first store in Florence in 1921 to sell luggage. The rest, as they say, is history.
