McHenry County deputy killed in Rockford, suspect charged in federal court By Jim Hagerty Reporter
ROCKFORD – The northern Illinois region was shaken last Thursday when a McHenry County Sheriff’s deputy serving on a U.S. Marshals task force was gunned down outside a Rockford hotel. Jacob Keltner, 35, was shot while the task force attempted to serve a warrant for the arrest of 39-year-old Floyd Brown, of Springfield. According to a federal complaint, around 9 a.m., a member of the task force knocked on Extended Stay America Room 305, after learning a woman identified as Brown’s 25-year-old girlfriend had checked into the hotel. Keltner was positioned outside the building. The complaint indicates officers heard a man inside the room say, “Don’t do it,” after the officer knocked on the door. Brown’s girlfriend later told officers she wanted to leave the room. That’s when police say a man inside started yelling and bullets ripped through doors and walls toward officers. Authorities allege that Brown, armed with a rifle, jumped from a third-story window and shot Keltner in the head. He then fled in a grey Mercury Grand Marquis. Police say he crashed the car on I-55 in Logan County, about 170 miles from Rockford. He was taken into custody Thursday afternoon after a standoff with police. Keltner died shortly after 3 p.m. at Javon Bea Hospital.
“Deputy Keltner was an integral part of our office, someone who had risen quickly to greater responsibilities after he was first sworn in in 2006,” McHenry County Sheriff Bill Prim said in a statement.”He was loved and respected by all his colleagues, and he will be sorely missed. I have every confidence that the people of McHenry County will come together as a community to mourn this fine young man and support his family and colleagues through this difficult time.” Keltner’s wife also released a statement, calling him a “cop’s cop,” who, despite the job’s often costly demands, was a dedicated and loving father and husband. “He loved everything about his job and looked forward to going to work every day,” Becki Keltner said. “He was a true patriot who wanted to protect the people of this country so I knew when he was selected for a position on the U.S. Marshals Fugitive Task Force, I couldn’t have stopped him from taking the job if I tried.” The night before Keltner was killed, Becki said he was teaching his two sons how to throw and catch in preparation for Little League. What followed was a moment that was nothing short of a nightmare. “Telling my children he was taken from us was the worst moment of my life,” she said. “They are innocent and pure and certainly do not deserve this. They will never know their daddy like they deserve. They won’t know him as a
jokester. They won’t know his contagious smile and infectious laugh. He was taken from them far too soon. I need him and I don’t know how to keep going without him. I would give anything for one more hug, one more ‘I love you’, or one more joke from the man I love so much.” A law-enforcement motorcade escorted Keltner’s body from the hospital to the Winnebago County Coroner’s Office Thursday night. Dozens of police and fire vehicles from the region escorted the body from Rockford to Huntley Friday. A visitation was held yesterday at DeFiore Funeral home in Huntley. Keltner’s funeral is at 10 a.m. today at Woodstock North High School, 3000 Raffel Road, Woodstock. Brow n w as in it ia l ly charged in Winnebago County with attempted murder. That charge was later upgraded. “Upon learning, unfortunately, that the officer had passed away, those charges were upgraded to first-degree murder,” Winnebago County State’s Attorney Marilyn Hite Ross said. “They carry a penalty of mandatory life in the Illinois Department of Corrections.” Brown is also being charged with murder by the U.S. Attorney’s Office, which means he could face the death penalty. He made his first appearance in federal court Monday. No shots were fired by officers. Police say Brown’s girlfriend was wounded by his gunfire. She was treated for non-life threatening injuries and released. R.

Retired Men’s Club donates Christmas tree profits to YMCA By Jim Hagerty Reporter
Rockford – The YMCA Retired Men’s Club donated more $16,000 to the Rockford YMCA Tuesday afternoon, funds it raised through its annual Christmas tree sale. “Every year we sell over 500 trees,” President Loren Salzman said. “We usually do about $15,000 in profits.” Salzman said $10,000 of this year’s profit will go directly to the YMCA. To distribute the remaining $6,000, the club asked for grant proposals from several YMCA youth organizations: Live Strong, Camp Winnebago Healthy Living, Aquatics, Elevate, Rowing Club, 21 School Sites, Children’s Learning Center, Tween
Scene/Youth and Family and the Puri Family YMCA. “We decide how to split that up among the organizations and try to give them all something,” Salzman said. “This helps them with things that are not in their budget this year but they need to have in order to operate. We take their requests very seriously and try to meet as many of them as we can.” The YMCA Retired Men’s Club was started in 1961, when Rockford YMCA Associated General Secretary Howard Hansis and four other retirees held the first meeting. The group grew to 20 members in its first two months, and opened membership to the public in 1962. It’s initial aim was to give retirees
a cure for boredom and brought together friends who had not seen each other since childhood. The group has been serving Rockford-area youth ever since. In 1996, the club modified its purpose to provide a program of entertainment and education. “This means a lot to these organizations,” Puri YMCA Executive Director Angelyn Grable said. “It means that some of them are able to provide quality programs that they would not otherwise be able to provide. The Retired Men’s Club meets every week in the YMCA Log Lodge. Each meeting features a guest speaker from among the business community, politicians and health-care representatives. R.

New York, feds join to get 100K rape kits tested around US BY JENNIFER PELTZ ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YOR K (A P) – L ang u ish ing evidence in over 100,000 sexual assault cases around the country has been sent for DNA testing with money from a New York prosecutor and federal authorities, spurring over 1,000 arrests and hundreds of convictions in three years, o�cials say. It’s estimated that another 155,000 or more sex assault evidence kits still await testing, and thousands of results have yet to be linked to suspects. Many who have been identified can’t be prosecuted because of legal time limits and other factors. Still, the e�ort is a start at correcting “an absolute travesty of justice,” Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus R. Vance Jr. said Tuesday while releasing results of his $38 million investment in testing – all outside his own turf. “That backlog not only undermined justice and the perception, and reality, of equality – it also made every woman and every American less safe,” he said. Law enforcement and lawmakers have faced growing calls in recent years to eliminate what’s known as the rape kit backlog – swabs and samples collected in sex assault cases but never tested for DNA. Victims’ advocates see the untested kits as signs that sexual assaults weren’t taken seriously enough. Vance, who took o�ce after New York City cleared its own testing backlog, and the Department of Justice’s Bureau of Justice Assistance have worked in tandem since 2015 to help other places tackle theirs. The two agencies have paid to send years-old kits to labs from dozens of states and communities, ranging from Flint, Michigan, to Mobile, Alabama, to Las Vegas. One of those kits sat untested for 15 years in Tracy Rios’ case, though she’d given police the name of the then-friend she accused of luring her into a vacant apartment and sexually assaulting her in 2002 in Tempe, Arizona. Police said they couldn’t charge him based on her word, and then she underwent a rape kit exam, but the investigation soon stalled, she said. “I lost faith in the system. I thought they didn’t care,” she said Tuesday. A message was left for Tempe police about the case. Two years ago, she was told her rape kit had finally been tested, with money from the Manhattan DA’s o�ce, and police were pursuing her case anew. “It was amazing to know I was going
to get justice,” said Rios, whose attacker is now serving a seven-year sentence for sexual assault. The Associated Press generally does not identify people who say they have been sexually assaulted unless they agree to be identified, as Rios did. Some cities have mobilized on their own to test years-old rape kits. But the big grants from Manhattan and Washington “infused this movement with resources,” says Ilse Knecht of the Joyful Heart Foundation, a sexual assault victims’ advocacy group. The backlog built up over decades, partly due to the cost of tests that can run $1,000 or more. But victims’ advocates also say many sex assault cases simply got sidelined over the years by police and prosecutors who unduly disbelieved or downplayed victims’ allegations. New York City worked through a 17,000-case backlog between 2000 and 2003. Vance, a Democrat elected in 2009, o�ered other places money to attack their own backlogs and negotiated discount rates with labs. His program – fi nanced with $38 million from settlements in banking-related cases — dispatched more than 55,000 rape kits to testing labs. The results have yielded 186 arrests and 64 convictions to date, with more investigations and prosecutions still underway, according to Vance’s report. In Battle Creek, Michigan, arrests included a suspect in the 2013 sexual assault of a 14-year-old girl. Authorities had his name from the start – he was a family friend – but her rape kit wasn’t tested until Vance’s grant program helped Michigan wipe out a
3,400-kit backlog. The woman, now 19, says she was initially angry when authorities told her they were ready to prosecute three years after the assault. She’d gotten on with her life, helped by counseling. But she ultimately agreed to testify, and her attacker pleaded guilty and was sentenced to up to 30 years in prison. “I feel proud of myself” for going forward with the case, the woman said Tuesday. And she doesn’t feel scared to walk around town anymore. Another nearly 45,000 rape kits have been sent to labs through the Justice Department program – and it’s produced nearly 899 prosecutions and 498 convictions and plea bargains, according to data the agency provided Monday to The Associated Press. The Justice Department has put $154 million over three years into its sexual assault kit initiative, which includes other things besides testing. DNA testing isn’t a surefire way to close cases. Only some rape kits match any profile in the FBI databank – and sometimes it’s just a match to DNA from another crime scene, with no name attached unless the person gets arrested in the future. Even when DNA matches a known offender, prosecution is sometimes impossible because the legal time clock has run out, the suspect has died or for other reasons. But authorities and victims’ advocates say arrests aren’t the only measure of the impact of getting the tests done. “It means that the criminal justice system cares what happened to you,” Knecht said.

Boeing
Much of world bans Boeing jet involved in Ethiopia crash By Elias Meseret and Yidnek Kirubel Associated Press
HEJERE, Ethiopia (AP) – Much of the world, including the entire European Union, grounded the Boeing jetliner involved in the Ethiopian Airlines crash or banned it from their airspace, leaving the United States on Tuesday as one of the few remaining operators of the plane involved in two deadly accidents in just five months. The European Aviation Safety Agency took steps to keep the Boeing 737 Max 8 out of the air, joining Asian and Middle Eastern governments and carriers that also gave in to safety concerns in the aftermath of Sunday’s crash, which killed all 157 people on board. Referring to the Lion Air crash in Indonesia that killed 189 people last year, European regulators said that “similar causes may have contributed to both events.” British regulators indicated possible trouble with a reportedly damaged flight data recorder, saying they based their decision on the fact that they did not “sufficient information” from the recorder. Turkish Airlines, Oman Air, Norwegian Air Shuttle and South Korean airline Eastar Jet were among the latest carriers to halt use of the Boeing model. Ireland, the Netherlands, Malaysia, Australia and Singapore suspended all flights into or out of their cities. A Turkish Airlines official said two Brita in-bound planes retur ned to Istanbul after British airspace was closed to the aircraft. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak publicly. U.S.-based Boeing has said it has no reason to pull the popular aircraft from the skies. It does not intend to issue new recommendations about the aircraft to customers. Boeing’s CEO Dennis Muilenburg also spoke with President Donald Trump and reiterated that the 737 Max 8 is safe, the company said. Its technical team, meanwhile, joined American, Israeli, Kenyan and other aviation experts in the investigation led by Ethiopian authorities. The Federal Aviation Administration also backed the jet’s airworthiness and said it was reviewing all available data. It said it expects Boeing will soon complete improvements to an automated anti-stall system suspected of contributing to the deadly crash of another new Boeing 737 Max 8 in October. “Thus far, our review shows no systemic
performance issues and provides no basis to order grounding the aircraft,” acting FAA Administrator Daniel K. Elwell said in a statement. “Nor have other civil aviation authorities provided data to us that would warrant action.” Some U.S. airlines expressed support for the Boeing model, and American Airlines and Southwest continued flying them. A vice president for American, the world’s biggest carrier, which has 24 Max 8s, said they had “full confidence in the aircraft.” Safety experts cautioned against drawing too many comparisons too soon with the Lion Air crash in October. But others in the U.S. began pressing for action. The Association of Professional Flight Attendants, which represents more than 26,000 flight attendants at American Airlines, called on CEO Doug Parker to “strongly consider grounding these planes until an investigation can be performed.” Consumer Reports called on airlines and the FAA to ground the jets until a thorough safety investigation is complete. Even Trump weighed in, tweeting that additional “complexity creates danger” in modern aircraft and hinders pilots from making “split second decisions” to ensure passengers’ safety. He did not specifically mention the crashes but said, “I don’t know about you, but I don’t want Albert Einstein to be my pilot.” The Ethiopian Airlines plane crashed six minutes after taking off for Nairobi, killing people from 35 countries. A pilot who saw the crash site minutes after the disaster told the AP that the plane appeared to have “slid directly into the ground.” Capt. Solomon Gizaw was among the first people dispatched to find the plane. The wreckage was discovered by Ethiopia’s air force. “There was nothing to see,” he said. “It looked like the earth had swallowed the aircraft. ... We were surprised!” He said it explained why rescue officials quickly sent bulldozers to begin digging out large pieces of debris. Ethiopian Airlines, widely seen as Africa’s best-managed airline, grounded its remaining four 737 Max 8s until further notice. The carrier had been using five of the planes and was awaiting delivery of 25 more. As night fell, the airline offered no new updates on the investigation. An airline spokesman said victims’ remains should be identified in about five days. Some insights into the disaster and
its cause could take months, aviation experts said. “The conclusions that will come out of its probe will be beneficial to the rest of the world,” Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed said Tuesday at a news conference with visiting French President Emmanuel Macron. “These types of accidents break everyone’s heart. I hope we will learn from this crash.” On Tuesday a group of officials from China, which also grounded planes, paused in their work at the scene to reflect with an offering of incense, fruit, bread rolls and a plastic container of the
Ethiopian flatbread injera. As the global team searched for answers, a woman stood near the crash site, wailing. Kebebew Legess said she was the mother of a young Ethiopian Airlines crew member among the dead. “She would have been 25 years old but God would not allow her,” she wept. “My daughter, my little one.” The British ambassador to Ethiopia, Alastair McPhail, visited the scene where at least nine of his countrymen died. “We owe it to the families to understand what happened,” he said.

College Admissions Bribery
TV celebrities and coaches charged in college bribery scheme By Alanna Durkin Richer and Collin Binkley Associated Press
BOSTON (AP) – Fifty people, including Hollywood stars Felicity Huffman and Lori Loughlin, were charged Tuesday in a scheme in which wealthy parents allegedly bribed college coaches and other insiders to get their children into some of the nation’s most selective schools. Federal authorities called it the biggest college admissions scam ever prosecuted by the U.S. Justice Department, with the parents accused of paying an estimated $25 million in bribes. At least nine athletic coaches and 33 parents, many of them prominent in law, finance, fashion, the food and beverage industry and other fields, were charged. Dozens, including Huffman, the Emmy-winning star of ABC’s “Desperate Housewives,” were arrested by midday. “These parents are a catalog of wealth and privilege,” U.S. Attorney Andrew Lelling said in announcing the results of a fraud and conspiracy investigation code-named Operation Varsity Blues. The coaches worked at such schools as Yale, Stanford, Georgetown, Wake Forest, the University of Texas, the University of Southern California and the University of California at Los Angeles. A former Yale soccer coach pleaded guilty and helped build the case against others. Two more of those charged – Stanford’s sailing coach and the college-admissions consultant at the very center of the scheme – pleaded guilty Tuesday in Boston. Others appeared in court and were released on bail. No students were charged, w ith authorities saying that in many cases the teenagers were unaware of what was going on. Several of the colleges involved made no mention of taking any action against the students.
The scandal is certain to inflame longstanding complaints that children of the wealthy and well-connected have the inside track in college admissions – sometimes through big, timely donations from their parents – and that privilege begets privilege. College consultants were not exactly shocked by the allegations. “This story is the proof that there will always be a market for parents who have the resources and are desperate to get their kid one more success,” said Mark Sklarow, CEO of the Independent Educational Consultants Association. “This was shopping for name-brand product and being willing to spend whatever it took.” The central figure in the scheme was identified as admissions consultant William “Rick” Singer, founder of the Edge College & Career Network of Newport Beach, California. He pleaded guilty, as did Stanford’s John Vandemoer. Singer’s lawyer, Donald Heller, said his client intends to cooperate fully with prosecutors and is “remorseful and contrite and wants to move on with his life.” Prosecutors said that parents paid Singer big money from 2011 through last month to bribe coaches and administrators to falsely make their children look like star athletes to boost their chances of getting accepted. The consultant also hired ringers to take college entrance exams for students, and paid off insiders at testing centers to correct students’ answers. Some parents spent hundreds of thousands of dollars and some as much as $6.5 million to guarantee their children’s admission, officials said. “For every student admitted through fraud, an honest and genuinely talented student was rejected,” Lelling said.
Several defendants, including Huffman, were charged with conspiracy to commit fraud, punishable by up to 20 years in prison. Lelling said the investigation is continuing and authorities believe other parents were involved. The IRS is also investigating, since some parents allegedly disguised the bribes as charitable donations. The colleges themselves are not targets, the prosecutor said. The investigation began when authorities received a tip about the scheme from someone they were interviewing in a separate case, Lelling said. He did not elaborate. Authorities said coaches in such sports as soccer, sailing, tennis, water polo and volleyball took payoffs to put students on lists of recruited athletes, regardless of their ability or experience. Once they were accepted, many of these students didn’t play the sports in which they supposedly excelled. The applicants’ athletic credentials were falsified with the help of staged photographs of them playing sports, or doctored photos in which their faces were pasted onto the bodies of genuine athletes, authorities said. Prosecutors said parents were also instructed to claim their children had learning disabilities so that they could take the ACT or SAT by themselves and get extra time. That made it easier to pull off the tampering, prosecutors said. Among the parents charged was Gordon Caplan of Greenwich, Connecticut, co-chairman of the international law firm Willkie Farr & Gallagher, based in New York. He and other parents did not immediately return telephone or email messages for comment. Caplan was accused of paying $75,000 to get a test supervisor to correct the answers on his daughter’s ACT exam after she took it. In a conversation last June with a cooperating witness, he was told his daughter needed to “be stupid” when a psychologist evaluated her for learning disabilities that would entitle her to more time to take the test, according to court papers. The witness described the scheme as “the home run of home runs.” “And it works?” Caplan asked. “Every time,” the witness responded, prompting laughter from both. A number of colleges moved quickly to fire or suspend the coaches and distance themselves from the scandal, portraying themselves as victims. Stanford fired the sailing coach, and USC dropped of
its water polo coach and an athletic administrator. UCLA suspended its soccer coach, and Wake Forest did the same with its volleyball coach. Loughlin, who was charged along with her husband, fashion designer Mossimo Giannulli, appeared in the ABC sitcom “Full House” in the 1980s and ‘90s. Huffman was nominated for an Oscar for playing a transgender woman in the 2005 movie “Transamerica.” She also starred in the TV show “Sports Night” and appeared in such films as “Reversal of Fortune,” ‘’Magnolia” and “The Spanish Prisoner.” Loughlin and her husband allegedly gave $500,000 to have their two daughters labeled as recruits to the USC crew team, even though neither participated in the sport. Their 19-year-old daughter Olivia Jade Giannulli, a social media star with a popular YouTube channel, is now at USC. Court documents said Huffman paid $15,000 that she disguised as a charitable donation so that her daughter could take part in the entrance-exam cheating scam. Court papers said a cooperating witness met with Huffman and her husband, actor William H. Macy, at their Los Angeles home and explained to them that he “controlled” a testing center and could have somebody secretly change her daughter’s answers. The person told investigators the couple agreed to the plan. Macy was not charged; authorities did not say why. The couple’s daughter, Sofia, is an aspiring actress who attends Los Angeles High School of the Arts. Messages seeking comment from Huffman’s representative were not immediately returned. A spokeswoman for Loughlin had no comment. In another case, a young woman got into Yale in exchange for $1.2 million from the family, prosecutors said. A false athletic profile created for the student said she had been on China’s junior national development soccer team. Prosecutors said Yale coach Rudolph Meredith received $400,000, even though he knew the student did not play competitive soccer. He did not return messages seeking comment. Sklarow, the independent education consultant unconnected to the case, said the scandal “certainly speaks to the fact that the admissions process is broken.” “It’s so fraught with anxiety, especially at the elite schools,” he said, “that I think it can’t be surprising that millionaires who have probably never said no to their kids are trying to play the system in order to get their child accepted.”

Procedural dramas are fine and dandy, but I’ve always preferred serialized storytelling, where stories unfold week after week. I hate to admit it, but when 9-1-1 premiered in early 2018, I assumed it was a typical procedural show about first responders. I should have known better, since the series was created by Glee and American Horror Story’s Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk along with Tim Minear (Angel, Firefly) – three gifted storytellers who understand precisely how, where, and why drama and comedy can coexist. It was roughly halfway into 9-1-1’s first season when I finally decided to check out the show, and it quickly became one of my favorite series. Why? It places strong characters – the cast is led by Angela Bassett (Black Panther, What’s Love Got to Do With It?) and Peter Krause (Parenthood, Six Feet Under) –into dangerous and sometimes bizarre situations. 9-1-1 reminds me of what I loved so much about classic series like St. Elsewhere and Homicide: Life on the Street: it has the ability to deliver a comedic storyline that runs parallel to a serious story in a way that makes both stronger while allowing the characters to grow. Just compare Krause’s character, Bobby, from season one to season two. In the first season the heroic firefighter/ recovering addict was tallying up how many more lives he needs to save to make up for the number of people who died – including his wife and children – in a fire he caused, and planning to commit suicide upon reaching that
number. But after being coerced to donate blood to a blood drive, Bobby learned he has a rare blood type that can help save many lives. At first he thought that was God’s way of punishing him, but he eventually realized it was a good thing, and by season two Bobby was in love with Bassett’s character, Athena, a police o�cer. But the show is about far more than Bobby and Athena. It’s an ensemble show with numerous firefighters and EMTs, police o�cers, and 9-1-1 dispatchers. Bringing in fresh characters is another way 9-1-1 reminds me of St. Elsewhere and Homicide. Connie Britton (Nashville, Dirty John) played dispatcher Abby in season one, and while her character is still mentioned a lot, the newest dispatcher, Maddie, is played by Jennifer Love Hewitt (Ghost Whisperer, Party of Five). And Ryan Guzman (Notorious, Pretty Little Liars) plays the firehouse’s latest addition, Diaz, a single dad to a special needs son. Setting these fascinatingly flawed characters in extreme situations where they have to deal with some very strange people – like the woman who thanked the firefighters by bring in homemade brownies she’d dosed with a hallucinogen derived from her reptile collection – is what makes this series so great. As messed up as some of the first responders are, they risk everything to help others, even of those don’t want their help – and quite often it turns out that the people they’re trying to help are each other. It’s also a lot of fun to watch. R.

US stock indexes end mostly higher, extending market’s gains By Damian J. Troise and Alex Veiga Associated Press
Technology and health care companies led U.S. stock indexes mostly higher Tuesday, building on the market’s solid gains from a day earlier. Boeing weighed down the Dow Jones Industrial Average for a second day as shares in the aircraft maker fell amid safety concerns following another deadly crash involving its most popular plane. The company led a slide in industrial sector stocks. A report showing that U.S. consumer prices rose modestly last month — the latest evidence that inflation remains in check — also helped lift stocks. The latest gains extend a rebound in stocks this week after the market ended last week with its worst week since December. “It just goes to show that investors are taking advantage of the pullback we had last week,” said Lindsey Bell, investment strategist at CFRA. “What’s notable in the last couple of days is the move you’re seeing in the Nasdaq. You’re starting to see that return to growth in the market right now.” The benchmark S&P 500 index gained 8.22 points, or 0.3 percent, to 2,791.52. The Dow fell 96.22 points, or 0.4 percent, to 25,554.66. The Nasdaq composite, which is heavily weighted with technology stocks, climbed 32.97 points, or 0.4 percent, to 7,591.03. The Russell 2000 index of smaller companies picked up 0.96 points, or 0.1 percent, to 1,549.83.
Major European stock indexes finished mostly higher before Britain’s Parliament voted to reject a deal for the U.K. to exit from the European Union. The move plunges the Brexit process into chaos just 17 days before Britain is due to leave the bloc. Traders appeared to mostly shrug off the developments in Britain, though U.S. indexes lost some of their gains toward the end of the day as the Brexit vote was being held. The two-day rally has helped the market reclaim the momentum it had in January and February, when it posted the best two-month start to a year since 1991. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq are showing double-digits gains for the year so far, and the Dow is up by more than 9 percent. Investors are still waiting for more details on any potential trade deal between the U.S. and China. Costly tariffs have hurt both nations and investors hope a deal can be struck to at least take some pressure off the global economy, which has shown signs of cooling off. “We’re just in this weird period where earnings just ended, we’re waiting to see what happens with Brexit, waiting for a resolution from China and the trade situation there,” Bell said. “We’re in wait-and-see mode.” Technology and health care stocks did the most to push the market higher Tuesday. Apple and UnitedHealth each rose 1.1 percent. Boeing shares slid 6.1 percent, the stock’s second day of steep losses, as more

countries grounded the aircraft manufacturer’s 737 Max 8 following the crash of the Ethiopian Airlines 737 Max 8 on Sunday, which killed 157 people. A similar Lion Air plane crashed in Indonesia in October, killing 189 people. Britain joined a growing number of countries to ground the plane. Australia and Singapore suspended all flights into or out of their countries. Airlines in China and Indonesia, Aeromexico, Brazil’s Gol Airlines, India’s Jet Airways and others have done the same. The Labor Department’s latest snapshot of consumer prices also put investors in a buying mood. The consumer price index rose a modest 1.5 percent last month from a year ago. The small increase is the latest evidence that inflation remains muted, which gives the Federal Reserve more flexibility in holding off on further interest rate increases, said Eric Wiegand, senior portfolio manager for Private Wealth Management at U.S. Bank. “The markets are reflecting a more favorable interpretation of the shift in central bank policies,” he said. “They’re creating more of a favorable backdrop.” Traders bid up shares in Stitch Fix after the personal styling service blew past analyst’s expectations for the fourth-quarter. The stock vaulted 25.2 percent. Dick’s Sporting Goods’ plunged 11 percent after the company reported a slide in sales during the fourth quarter and a weak forecast. A key sales figure fell 2.2 percent in the period, worse than what analysts were expecting. Marijuana stocks rose after New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy and legislative leaders said they’ve agreed on legislation to legalize recreational marijuana for adults. The agreement comes after more than a year of negotiations. Tilray gained 3.1 percent, while Canopy Growth added 1.4 percent. Bond prices rose. The yield on the 10-year Treasury note fell to 2.61 percent from 2.64 percent late Monday. The dollar strengthened to 111.29 Japanese yen from 111.21 yen on Monday. The euro rose to $1.1297 from $1.1240. The price of U.S. crude oil rose 8 cents to $56.87 a barrel, while Brent crude rose 9 cents to $66.67 a barrel. Wholesale gasoline fell 1 cent to $1.82 a gallon, heating oil fell less than 1 cent to $1.99 a gallon and natural gas rose 1 cent to $2.78 per 1,000 cubic feet. The price of gold rose 7 cents to $1,291.10 an ounce, silver rose 14 cents to $15.41 an ounce and copper rose 3 cents to $2.93 a pound.

MR. GREEN CAR
Looking into gasoline pricing BY ALLEN PENTICOFF COLUMNIST
I recently had the unpleasant experience of paying $2.39 per gallon for regular unleaded while filling up in the morning - only to return to the same pump in the afternoon with a di�erent car to find that the price had gone up 16 cents to $2.55 per gallon. Of course I filled up anyway, you know that if one goes up they all go up. Of all places I go about, Rockford has long had the most volatile pricing of gasoline. Price varies widely across town, often across the street. And it is often higher than in other nearby towns. I am not able to o�er an explanation of that phenomenon, but I will detail here what goes into the price you pay at the pump. Just like we don’t think much about how the food on our table gets there, we don’t think about what it takes to put fuel in our tank. While due to “fracking” the United States has rebounded to become a world leading oil producer once again and this is part of our reason for lower fuel costs the last several years. The price of crude oil is determined by supply, demand and inventory just like any other product. Crude oil constitutes 53 percent of the cost you are paying at the pump. Right now, crude oil is costing the refiner about $50 to $70 per 42 gallon barrel. This translates to about $1.19 to $1.67 at the pump just for the crude oil. If the oil is coming from a foreign country it has an energy intense trip. First it is pumped out of the ground, then pumped to large tanks at a shipping terminal, then pumped aboard a large ocean tanker ship. Bear in mind every time throughout a molecule’s travels you use the word “pump” energy is involved, usually electricity

and as we know it takes energy sources that are not likely to be sustainable to make that electricity. Crude oil is thick stu�, so it takes a lot of energy to move it. The ship uses fuel to travel vast distances, then pump the oil into large tanks ashore at the refinery. The oil is then pumped into the fracking towers where a lot of energy is used to heat the oil and separate it into di�erent distillates. Gasoline is near the top of the distillery chain and it is pumped o� to big tanks where it will stay until pumped in pipelines to a regional terminal. Refining costs amount to 8 percent of what you pay. At the terminal, tanker trucks line up to fill before heading o� to retailers. It is at this point that additives such as ethanol that contribute to the cost are introduced to the fuel. All your gas, wherever you buy it is essentially the same stu� from the same place, varying only in a retailer’s additives. It is pumped out of the ground (usually) into your tank. The empty tanker truck drives back to fill up again. All this transportation and retail expense adds only 18 percent to the cost of your gallon of gasoline. The oil industry would like me to point out that they are only earning 5.8 cents per dollar of sold product. That is a lower return than most industries that see an 8 percent return on a dollar of sales. But, as we know, there is a lot of sales of fuel products - to the tune of 20,800,000 barrels per day in the U.S. alone (up 500,000 barrels a day since 2017). That’s 117,600,000 gallons per day of crude oil (only a percentage of crude becomes gasoline). Nonetheless, that’s 42,924,000,000 gallons per year. Worldwide the number is far larger and these figures are nearly impossible to relate to. Let’s just say 43 billion gallons would fill a very large lake. And all that
is going to end up in the air. Excise taxes, local, state and federal comprise the next 21 percent of what is paid at the pump. The feds get only 18.4 cents for each gallon in your tank. State taxes, per gallon are the bigger bite and really vary substantially with Alaska being the lowest at 33 cents per gallon up to New York at 77 cents per gallon (all taxes are rounded to nearest cent). Illinois and Wisconsin are above the average at 50 cents and 51 cents each. On the few trips I’ve made to Missouri I have always held out for a fill-up there since their 36 cents per gallon tax is second lowest in the nation - and the price is consistent across the whole state - so it matters little where you fill up. Each retailer has di�erent overhead that a�ects what they are willing to sell fuel for. Generally nearby competition keeps the price down too. I have places I know to get o� the interstate and fill up due to regularly low prices and I plan my trips accordingly. But for my normal running around I go to a retailer (in Wisconsin) that only sells pay at the pump gas and diesel (no convenience store). They are reliably ten cents a gallon less than in Rockford. Occasionally the same. So there is really no guarantee. I inherited this shopping around for the lowest fuel price habit from my father. Thanks dad. Other folks just pull in wherever the urge strikes them, or the best co�ee is and just pay for it and don’t even notice the price. You all have a simpler life than me. We have a 1987 VW Vanagon Camper (sadly, it only gets 17 mpg) that I considered shipping to Europe for a summer of exploration. So I recently looked up what the price of gas is in the UK and France. $5.83/gal in the UK and $6.09/ gal in France. Italy is holding out as the
most expensive fuel at $6.60 per gallon. Since you are wondering, gas is not that much cheaper in Saudi Arabia than it is here at $2.06 per gallon. There is a neat world map at https://www.bloomberg. com/graphics/gas-prices/#20184:Russia:USD:g that is colored by darker blue equals higher price - click on the country you want to know the current average price. The higher European prices have always reflected much higher taxes per gallon. They use this to fund not only infrastructure but often their social programs such as universal health care. The higher prices have also caused the citizens to buy smaller vehicles. The Europeans do not buy large four-wheel drive trucks to run about in. Yet their economies thrive. The United States could learn some lessons from our friends across the pond in this regard. Everyone screams at high taxes, but our taxes on fuel are quite low and this encourages over consumption. We could easily handle a dollar a gallon more and not ruin the economy - yet it could be that $43 billion a year could go towards paying down our $22 TRILLION national debt. Gonna take a while (512 years). If we went to an Italian-like tax of $5 per gallon of crude oil, that might generate $215 billion per year - so that pay o� would be down to 102 years. Food for thought. And this is one tax you could avoid by driving an electric vehicle - until they come up with an annual fee to make up for that lost revenue. Oh well. I hope they put that o�, as we need EVs on the road and helping with ending this addiction to oil and the problems with our environment that it creates. R.

Stockholm Inn - A (Delicious) Gathering Place By Elizabeth Miller Rockford Area CVB
There are a few things in life that I absolutely love. Two things that are included in the top of my list are my family… and breakfast food. You can imagine my excitement when I get together with my family over breakfast or brunch. Birthdays are always a time when my family will all get together, and one of our favorite go-to spots to gather for a good breakfast is Stockholm Inn. We’ve been going to Stockholm Inn at least a few times a year for as long as I can remember. The latest trip was just a few days ago. The whole family enjoys going to Stockholm Inn because no matter what you’re hungry for, there is guaranteed to be something on the menu that you enjoy. If you’re a pancake person, they have their famous (and scrumptious!) Swedish pancakes. If you’re more into the traditional eggs and bacon combo for breakfast, they have several options for eggs cooked in
any way with all the standard sides. And if you’re feeling something a little different the day you go, they have specialty items like quiches, eggs benedict, or French toast. Just make sure at some point when you go, order a side of lingonberries. These sweet yet tart berries are great on the Swedish pancakes, or also by themselves! We found out that my little nephew (who can be a little picky with what he eats) LOVES lingonberries! I have a couple different go-to items when it comes to Stockholm Inn. Depending on what I’m feeling the day I order, I usually go with the Swedish pancakes. Or I go for the classic breakfast of scrambled eggs with bacon, hash browns and toast. I can’t really give any advice about what to order that isn’t breakfast food because I don’t think I’ve ever ordered anything other than breakfast food! (Why would you want to eat anything other than breakfast food in the first place??) But I can tell you no matter what you order from the breakfast menu, Swedish pancakes at Stockholm Inn
Stockholm Inn exterior
you’re sure to enjoy it. Try supplementing your breakfast with a glass of their freshsqueezed orange juice as well! What I also like about Stockholm Inn is the space they provide for eating. They have several large dining areas with tables scattered around if you want the standard restaurant dining vibe. They can have tables to fit your large family (we have over 10 people sometimes!), and there are smaller booths if you and your significant other just want a quick bite. I do enjoy the large dining rooms, but when gathering with my family, we usually try to request one of their private rooms. These rooms also vary in size depending on how many people you have in your party. Our room fit my family perfectly, and there was a door we could close if the dining area seemed
too noisy. Our room was sandwiched between a room with a large party of over 60 people for a birthday celebration, and another smaller room with a family with lots of young kids (a great way to keep a quiet environment for little ones)…so no matter how many people in your group, there will be space for you! Next time you’re looking for a good gathering place for your family or friends and are hungry for some delicious breakfast food, look no further than the Rockford staple, Stockholm Inn! Stockholm Inn is located at 2420 Charles St, Rockford, IL 61108. For more information about Stockholm Inn and more restaurants in the Rockford region, visit gorockford.com/restaurants.

Climate change alarm and potential solutions BY DRS. ROBERT & SONIA VOGL
Alternative berries BY GRANT MCCARTY CONTRIBUTOR
While you are familiar with strawberry, raspberry, and blueberry, there are other berries available to grow in the backyard. You may find these at many local nurseries and online retailers. Many of these berries have gained popularity due to their high antioxidants and large concentration of beneficial vitamins. Common alternative berries include Aronia, Goji, Seaberry, and Honeyberry. We grow both Goji and Honeyberry at the University of Illinois Extension o�ce. Before you decide to grow these berries, taste them. While the berries may have good nutritional benefits, many are tart and require combining with another fruit to sweeten depending on what you are going to do with them. Aronia, Goji, and Seaberry tend to be very tart whereas Honeyberry is sweeter. Many of these berry plants will not be the compact plant you expect. Goji and Seaberry can reach heights above 6 feet if given the opportunity. More compact berry plants tend to be Honeyberry and Aronia which will reach around the height of a blueberry plant. Some of these berries have large thorns such as Goji. Depending on which berry plant you select, you may find that you need more than one for good pollination. Some
plants require both a male and female and/or di�erent varieties in order to yield. Compared to traditional berries, there is a lack of research on alternative berries. By growing these berries, you may encounter insects, diseases, and general production “quirks” with them that are unknown until you plant them. There are also limited varieties available for most of these berries. Some retailers may have 1-3 varieties per each berry. What I have learned from growing Goji and Honeyberry is that they both do well in Northern Illinois. Goji Berry needs to be pruned, managed, and controlled during the growing season whereas Honeyberry tends to not need as much management. Because of the thorns and invasiveness of the Goji berry, I would be cautious in growing the plant in your garden. Do more research on the alternative berries before you purchase and plant them. While they can be a great addition to your garden, every plant has its own unique growing needs and you may find the plant does not align with your garden goals. R.

We were caught o� guard a few months ago by a friend’s question of what we think about only having a decade left. Since we have been wondering about how many years we all have left, we misinterpreted the question. Our friend was not asking about personal lifespans but that of the planet. The condition of the planet’s health has reached a new level of intensity. The IPPC report warned that we are nowhere near controlling global temperature increases. A similar conclusion was reached in the National Climate Assessment report. But a far more alarming paper was written by Professor Jem Bendell titled Deep Adaptation: A Map for Navigating Climate Tragedy. In it he concludes that disruptive impacts from climate change are imminent and inevitable. Within 10 years human societies are expected to experience increased levels of malnutrition, starvation, disease, civil conflict and war in various degrees across all nations. Bendell calls for a new approach based on reducing harm from climate change and avoiding making conditions worse. One widely recommended approach is transitioning to renewable energy sources and implementing dramatic improvements in energy e�ciency throughout the economy. While we support renewable energy and e�ciency reforms, we recognize concern that renewable energy in itself is unable to support the current level of industrial society let alone expand it along current lines. Now that Illinois has instituted an aggressive program of expanding energy e�ciency and renewable energy, an aggressive approach could also be applied to agricultural practices. Fred Iutzi, keynote speaker at last year’s Renewable Energy and Sustainable Lifestyle Fair,
and Robert Jensen have written an article entitled Growing A Green New Deal; Agriculture’s Role in Economic Justice and Ecological Sustainability. In it they propose that an agricultural component be included in a Green New Deal while calling for a revolutionary approach to producing food. They have developed two proposals to be included in a Green New Deal to help us move toward essential long term changes that they believe are politically viable today. One is a job training program which would help repopulate the countryside. The second is changing how farmers work and researching perennial crops that could change farming. To deal e�ectively with both the economic and ecological crises they suggest that agricultural policies support smaller farms with more farmers as well as advancing alternatives to existing annual monoculture industrial farming which is seen as a major contributor to global warming and ecosystem degradation. Much of the job training for a green economy focuses on developing skills needed for installing solar and wind systems and for maintenance and weatherizing homes. Facing a future with a dramatic reduction in fossil fuel consumption will require a redesigned agricultural system involving more people on the land. The authors call for expanding the number of farmers with skills to move away from industrial agriculture and develop crops suitable for low energy production. Finding a�ordable land for purchase or long term lease is widely recognized as a major challenge to putting more people on the land as is the need to slow the loss of land to development. They see repopulating the countryside as an essential part of a sustainable future. R.

The subject of this meeting will be Midwifing the River: The Rebirth of Nippersink Creek. Ed Collins, Director of Land Preservation & Natural Resources for the McHenry County Conservation District (MCCD), will talk about the restoration of Nippersink Creek within MCCD’s Glacial Park near Richmond, Illinois, and his role as a midwife to the rebirth of the river. Ed was chief ecologist in charge of the innovative project to return 3.5 miles of the creek to its original meandering course through the county park. In the process, he learned many lessons about the power of nature to heal itself and the spiritual connection that people have with water, wildlife, and native plants. Nippersink Creek was channelized in the 1950s to drain wetlands so the land could be farmed. This caused severe erosion, left the banks too steep for fishing or canoeing, and altered the land along the creek. In 2001, the first phase of returning the creek to its original course was completed. Ed will describe the enormous efforts that went into planning and implementing this large-scale creek restoration project, and will share the ecological lessons he learned from the experience. He has spent 35 years with the District including teaching ecology and working on land restoration. He was involved in the first comprehensive mapping of oak tree loss in the region and the creation of the Hackmatack National Wildlife Refuge. This program is free and open to the public. For more information, call (779) 537-8939. Saturday, March 23 Informational Sessions for Citizen Scientists - 9 a.m.-noon at Forest Preserves of Winnebago County Headquarters, 5500 Northrock Drive.

This collective showcases vibrant and raw renditions inspired by figurative Prehistoric Art, Cubism and early 20th century Modernism — all done by adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities enrolled in Project Art. “Art Brut” (literally, “raw art”) refers to the direct-from-the-heart creative impulse –unfiltered by theory– that can be felt in the works of self-taught artists situated by choice or by the force of circumstances on the margins of mainstream society and culture.
Project Art is a collaboration between Rockford Park District’s Therapeutic Recreation Program and The Arc. Attendees will have the joy of viewing the work, as well as purchase art, jewelry, pillows, and crochet pieces.

ROCKFORD – The Rockford IceHogs slipped out of playoff contention after dropping two games to Manitoba Moose last week. Rockford is still in the conversation, however, as the Central Division race for the fourth and final postseason spot continues to tighten up. As of this report, the IceHogs are in a fifth-place tie with the Milwaukee Admirals. With 64 standings points, both clubs are three points behind the Texas Stars. The seventhplace Moose are also on the bubble with 63 points. In last Saturday’s action, Dennis Gilbert gave Rockford a chance for a win in the third period, but Felix Girard scored a late goal and Eric Comrie made 33 saves to snuff out the comeback and give Manitoba a 3-1-win at Bell MTS Place. Gilbert’s goal came on a rebound in front of Comrie after Comrie couldn’t handle the initial shot by Peter Holland. That made it 2-1, ended 40 minutes of scoreless hockey for the IceHogs and spoiled Comrie’s shutout. Girard quickly made it 3-1, giving Manitoba the regulation win and denying the IceHogs a point in the standings.” It took us awhile to get the legs going, but I felt we played well in the second and third,” coach Derek King said. “We just couldn’t find a way to put one in.” The IceHogs pulled goaltender Anton Forsberg with two minutes remaining in regulation, but Cromie stoned the effort. The goalie stopped 19 shots in the third period to remain unbeaten in two starts against Rockford this season. It was another close one in Sunday’s matinee at Bell MTS Place but, like Saturday, the IceHogs couldn’t find a way to close it out in regulation. Up 1-0 midway through the third, Manitoba’s

Mason Appleton potted the tying marker to buy the Moose five extra minutes. It paid off as Michael Spacek scored the game-winner just 51 seconds into the extra frame. The winning goal came on an Appleton rebound, as Spacek grabbed the puck and made nifty move to solve goaltender Kevin Lankinen. The win gives Manitoba the 3-0-0-1 series win against Rockford on the 2018-19 campaign.” We’ll take the point,” assistant coach Anders Sorensen said. “That’s probably the only positive thing that came out of today. We needed one more goal there in regulation to kind of hang on and put ourselves in a better spot. We did some good things, but we made some mistakes that hurt us.”
Notes
Peter Holland extended his point streak to three games with an assist Saturday and goal Sunday. He has now tallied six points in seven games since making his debut Feb. 20. Overall he has points in 36 of 59 games this season and enters this week tied for seventh in the AHL in scoring with 55 total points. Jordan Schroeder leads the IceHogs and is tied for 12th in the league since Feb. 1 with 16 points (7g, 9a) in 15 contests. That total includes points in his last three games, two against Manitoba last week. The veteran centerman is just four points away from his career-best total from the 2011-12 season with Chicago. Schroeder ended that season with 21 goals and 23 assists.

You root for laundry: Bears signing elsewhere have nothing to apologize for By Robert Zeglinski Contributor
In his heyday, great observational comedian Jerry Seinfeld had a famous routine detailing the incredulous nature of how people get emotionally invested in sports. There’s no rhyme, logic, or reason to picking one’s favorite players and teams. Often, it’s because someone so happened to be watching a particular or team as a kid. Sometimes it’s who their parents passed down to them in heritage. In most other senses it’s purely geographically related, meaning whichever major brand was closest and most accessible: Which at its core, is understandable. Where sports fandom is then weirdly treated as this life-or-death familial struggle, when one takes a closer look, the inherent insanity of being a sports fan comes into true focus. “It’s different guys every year,” said Seinfeld repeatedly and famously in the early 1990s. “You’re rooting for clothes, when you get right down to it. We’re screaming about laundry.” Nowhere does this concept need to be reverberated more than when it comes to free agency. As the NFL works through its open market period this week, it’s especially in focus. If you’re a fan of any NFL team like the Bears, you root for laundry first. A franchise player can wow you with an incredible catch, tackle, or sack, but you’re still
rooting for laundry as a first priority. You watch sports because freakishly talented human beings accomplish feats you could only ever dream of. But ultimately you only care about these human because they happen to be wearing the colors of the team you pour your heart into through your television every week. It’s as dissociative of a relationship on a general level as it gets. You have a similar connection to a random egg Twitter profile as you do with an athlete you’ve never had a one-on-one interpersonal conversational with. In the case of the egg profile, at least they say hello from time to time. Why then, do some see putting on another opposing jersey as a mortal sin? Loyalty has never gone both ways in the fan-player and team-player relationships at this level, if anywhere. If a team and fan can’t offer anything to a player in the form of financial stability and security, it’s more than their right to find a new, more comfortable home. It’s time to accept the mythos of hollow loyalty often doesn’t exist and doesn’t matter. After four seasons punishing receivers over the middle on the lakefront, Adrian Amos is literally moving on to “greener” pastures with the Packers. With a fouryear, $37 million dollar deal in hand, it’s a contract he earned every bit of as a professional. A contract the Bears weren’t willing to comply with as they replace him. After locking down slot receivers
for the better part of the last four years, Bryce Callahan is also likely on his way out of Halas Hall with the Bears’ signing of former Jet Buster Skrine. Whatever deal and team Callahan does end up, he’ll have earned every bit of it as a professional. A contract the Bears weren’t willing to comply with as they replace him. As both former Bears secondar y standouts move on, it’s important to remember they don’t owe anything to anyone but themselves. Amos doesn’t deserve disparaging racial comments on social media because he so happened to sign with Chicago’s main sporting rival. He worked hard for his new opportunity in what is his profession: The equivalent of the office setting of an average Joe. He doesn’t hate the fans that poured their hearts out for his trademark big hits over the last few years. He’s purely looking out for what’s best for him. In the coming event where Callahan takes his services elsewhere, he shouldn’t be dragged through the mud either. This is their livelihood and their right to take their valuable talent wherever they so choose. A fan can view a player as a legend, a role model, and someone they grew up watching. They can see them as revered figures and often self-identify with their struggle. Look no further than Chicago athletes being described as blue collar any time they excel at the little gritty details of football. Every depth guy suddenly making a dirty play is typecast as a
Grabowski regardless of skill. In the end, many fans only ever start caring about these athletes because they happened to put on the laundry of their favorite team at the right time. Not because they were amazing relatable human beings. Guys like Amos in this prism, and Callahan to an extent, are supposed to sacrifice everything for the good of the long-term mission. They’re not supposed to think of their long-term goals, financial stability, and life outlook if it means hurting their incumbent team. That’s as backward of a concept if I’ve ever seen one. The NFL doesn’t have the greatest history with labor rights issues. There have been separate strikes in the 1980s, contentious negotiations regarding the collective bargaining agreement, and a recent arisen awareness over exploitative practices like the franchise tag. It’s a league that’s always straddled the line of favoring the team, and in turn getting the fan to believe the team and the laundry first. It’s a line of thinking that needs to dramatically change in the coming years. Don’t paint Amos or Callahan as enemies in this system inherently built against them. You root for laundry, and they’re just humbly doing their jobs. R. Robert is a writer, editor, and producer. You can follow him on Twitter @RobertZeglinski.
