The public health administrator of the Winnebago County Health Department Sandra Martell has been on the front lines of the battle against the coronavirus pandemic from the get-go.

Martell has utilized her over 30 years of experience in public health to help navigate our region through the most difficult health crisis of our time. This week she joined us as the guest of our weekly sports podcast, “Not Just a Game,” to discuss how the virus has affected the sports’ world, and how sports will begin to creep back into existence.

“We are learning as we go through this,” Martell said. “This has been, as we said, one for the books. But I think we did it with the support and the full intent that we would get as many people through this as we could.”

“Not Just a Game” can be found at rrstar.com/sports. Or you can get the latest episode by subscribing for free to “From the Newsroom: Rockford Register Star” wherever you listen to podcasts.

These episodes were produced and edited by multimedia journalist Scott P. Yates.

Commissioners Danny Glidewell, Trey Nick and Melanie Nipper voted against a proposal to retire the flag. The motion was put forward by Commission Chairman Bill Chapman and followed pleas from several residents who said they see the flag as emblematic of past and present racism.
