A closer look at fracking for natural gas

By Drs. Robert & Sonia Vogl

PresidentandVicePresident,IllinoisRenewableEnergyAssociation In 2012, President Barack Obama indicated that the U.S. has a supply of natural gas that can last nearly 100 years. His administration intends to safely develop it. In May 2013, he added that by 2020, the U.S. would probably be a net gas exporter.

By 2013, shale gas production reached 33 billion cubic feet per day, up from 5 billion cubic feet in 2007. It represents 40 percent of the total U.S. natural gas production. Its benefits included a supply of domestic energy, low energy prices, fees paid to landowners, taxes for governmental units, and jobs. The existence of natural gas liquids could lead to investments in processing facilities near the fracking sites.

As many as 25 requests were submitted to the U.S. Department of Energy to develop facilities for liquefying natural gas and shipping it to higher-value international markets. If the requests are honored, more than 40 percent of our natural gas could be shipped out of the country.

Last November, Illinois issued regulations controlling fracking for oil and gas in Illinois.

As of this January, only one firm has applied for a permit. The low prices of oil and natural gas have temporarily slowed development.

Some of the oil and gas deposits, along with sand used in fracking, are located near or in state parks and natural areas. Southern Illinoisians Against Fracturing our Environment continues to express concerns about the process.

Fracking has proved contentious in many areas, as earthquakes, water and air pollution, and some chemicals used have adverse effects on people, wildlife and natural areas. Two states, Vermont and New York, have banned fracking.

Some communities have also banned it.

Several energy analysts suggest the actual gas supply could fall far short of estimates, as some of the deposits could prove less abundant or more difficult to develop. Data from existing wells indicates that up to 90 percent of the gas production occurs within the first three years, requiring ongoing drilling to maintain production.

Fracking has high capital costs; many of the firms are having difficulty repaying their debts. The speed at which fracking occurred nationally led to a glut in suppliesandlowprices.Ataround$3.50permmbtus

[1millionBritishThermalUnits],pricestodayremain far below the $6 to $8 range needed to cover costs.

If sufficient natural gas is liquefied for the global market, gas prices would rise, potentially undermining the expected return of manufacturing to the U.S. One estimate indicated that shipping the gas to the global marketplace could reduce the U.S. supply to less than 30 years. Roughly 25 percent of the energy in the gas is used to compress it into a liquid and maintain it at -260 degrees Fahrenheit to ship it to global markets.

Natural gas has been portrayed as a transitional energy source leading to a clean-energy future. However, the large volume of methane leaks in the full natural gas fracking fuel cycle cast doubts on its portrayal as a clean fuel.

With the recognition that climate change is real and accelerating and linked to human activities, carbon releases from all fossil fuels, including natural gas, will need to be reduced.

Illinois home health care workers forced to attend training sessions

By Susan Johnson

Copy Editor Illinois home health care workers, not just professionals but also people who have been caring for family members for years, are now required to attend training classes coordinated by the Service Employees International Union (SEIU), one of the largest labor unions in the U.S. In these mandatory sessions, SEIU is permitted to use 30 minutes to promote union membership activities. This came about after two recent events: a U.S. Supreme Court decision in June that prohibited the automatic deduction of union dues from Illinois home health workers’ pay, and an indictment of 14 home health workers for fraud.

Sept. 26, the Illinois Department of Human Services sent a letter to the workers informing them of this obligation. The training sessions, called Ensuring Quality Understanding & Integrity of Providers (EQUIP), are held at locations around the state.

The mailer included directions for home health workers to contact SEIU to schedule

their required training sessions. The union has also been holding training sessions at its Chicago headquarters.

Illinois pays $2 million annually

As specified by a contract between the Illinois Department of Human Services and SEIU, the state must pay the union up to $2 million annually to provide the training sessions. A special perk for the union is the 30 minutes out of the three-hour meetings allocated for union membership activities.

An article in The Daily Caller noted that the forced training sessions have been mostly unreported. What instigated the new requirement was the U.S. Supreme Court ruling in Harris v. Quinn last June. The plaintiff in that case, Chicago-area mother Pam Harris, challenged a law enacted by Gov. Pat Quinn (D) in 2009 that forced the home health care workers to pay union dues to SEIU. Harris has a disabled adult son, Josh, whom she has cared for at home for years. The Supreme Court ruled in a 5-4 vote that the forced union dues violated Harris’ and other home health workers’ First Amendment rights.

One of the groups that filed an amicus brief on behalf of Harris criticizing the arrangement between the state and SEIU is the Illinois Policy Institute. The Institiue’s Vice President Kristina Rasmussen said, “What SEIU is doing is forcing people into a room, paying them to be there, and they have a captive audience where they can push union membership on unsuspecting participants.” And all of this is paid for by the taxpayers.

In an effort to make information available to those who are directly affected, Illinois Policy Institute staffers have been meeting with caregivers at locations where the mandatory training sessions are held. Caregivers are informed that they don’t have to join or pay money to a union, their union membership can be rescinded at any time, and the approximately $600 annual dues could be used for family needs instead.

Many caregivers have been relieved to learn that they are not obligated to join SEIU and expressed appreciation for the news. But SEIU was not happy about it, and the Illinois Policy Institute says they have been the subject of a number of

registered complaints by the SEIU, many of a petty nature. The IFI asserts that they have been falsely accused of union busting, which they say they have not done. However, they admit that the SEIU considers their literature to be some sort of threat, and IFI staffers said that at one point, union employees tried to snatch materials out of the hands of attendees as they entered the building. Then they brought out membership cards in an attempt to get caregivers to sign up.

PSRC comments on the ruling

The Public Service Research Council is a membership organization governed by a volunteer board of directors. Their policy statement says: “The Council conducts a wide range of activity aimed at educating the public to the dangers of public sector union power and union political influence on public policy.

Free speech empowered Collapse of Western civilization Guest Column

By Jane Hayes

The Eiffel Tower dimmed its lights in Paris in remorse, and the world responded. More than a million people united in solidarity for the deaths of 12 journalists from Charlie Hebdo (Parisian satirical magazine), five Jewish citizens from a kosher grocery, and female and Muslim police who lost their lives during this tragedy. Senseless acts of violence from extremists in a civilized society that united global citizens for Liberté, Egalité, Fraternité!

(Liberty, Equality, and Brotherhood).

Perhaps it’s my background as a French teacher in several school districts, my intense interests in pluralism, or just maybe it’s much closer to home. The painful truth is my father fought for freedom on the beaches of Normandy, and my maiden surname is French. Whatever the reason, the cause is justified and right.

Senseless terror and bullying have always offended my sensibilities, whether they are in the Rockford Public School system or in the City of Lights in France. When the lights are dimmed, the public must be mindful of the problems. I nearly gave up highlighting the seemingly insurmountable problems throughout our school system, but Watch the Corruption online keeps me aware of the challenging situations.

For instance, after having several days off as a result of inclement weather, will our students still be forced to sit attentively at their desks in their coats and mittens because of no heat? Will our children still be denied a free lunch? Will they be denied the experienced teachers because nepotism rules in District

205, placing unqualified teachers in positions as favors? Will the administration continue to grow when it is two to three times as large as it was under former superintendent Dr. LaVonne Sheffield?

People, wise up! Should The Onion, The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, Family Guy or The Simpsons be outlawed from our society because they highlight and mock problems within our world? Cartoons criticize legitimate concerns.

Unfortunately, investigative journalism is a lost art at the Rockford Register Star that aligns with the problem makers instead of the reformers.

They refuse to inform the public of problems within, such as heat and window problems throughout the district, when we have state-ofthe-art field houses, difficult to access for the physically challenged at Auburn High School.

Thanks to The Rock River Times, which still publishes both sides of arguments. Is it that Rockfordians don’t want to know the truth? Is it that they are so encumbered by daily life that problems in the public schools don’t interest them? I had nearly given up on my commentaries; however, my French roots showed me the way back to defiance and legitimate questioning.

Je pense, donc je suis! (French philosopher Descarte’s rallying cry, I think, therefore I am!) brought my pen to life. Society cannot break the pens of journalists or cartoonists who show the fallacies of our societies. Both mirror the truth through satire, just as editorials and investigative reporting. Pity to be lost in civilized society.

Therefore, je suis Charlie to align with the values of free speech!

Agitate, America!

By Nancy Churchill

A Progressive Visionary This column’s title is also the title of a tiny book by Naomi Oreskes and Erik Conway subtitled “A View From the Future.” It is a well-annotated fictional — yet factual — prophecy looking back on today from the year 2300 “in the spirit of George Orwell,” says one reviewer on the cover.

“As the devastating effects of the Great Collapse [their term for the catastrophic events about which the imaginary people are reporting] began to appear, the nation-states with democratic governments ... were at first unwilling and then unable to deal with the unfolding crisis. As food shortages and disease ... spread and sea level rose, these governments found themselves without the ... ability to ... relocate people.”

The book narrates what led to this “Great Collapse” and why democratic nation-states were unable to deal with the looming crisis, while, contrarily, China’s strong, centralized government was able to relocate 250 million people to higher ground while the crisis was still manageable.

“To the historian studying this tragic period of human history,” they wrote, “the most astounding fact is that the victims knew what was happening and why. Indeed, they chronicled it in detail precisely because they knew that fossil fuel combustion was to blame. Historical analysis also shows that Western civilization had the technological know-how and capability to effect an orderly transition to renewable energy, yet the available

technologies were not implemented in time. As with all great historical events, there is no easy answer to the question of why this catastrophe occurred, but key factors stand out. The thesis of this analysis is that Western civilization became trapped in the grip of two inhibiting ideologies: positivism and market fundamentalism.”

It was the latter, “[m]arket fundamentalism — and its various strands and interpretations known as free market fundamentalism, neoliberalism, laissez-faire economics, and laissez-faire capitalism” that was the problem. This ideological system held “that societal needs were served most efficiently in a free market economic system,” a claim repeated endlessly by conservatives of today. “Guided by the ‘invisible hand’ of the marketplace, individuals would freely respond to each other’s needs, establishing a net balance between solutions (‘supply’) and needs (‘demand’). The second prong of the philosophy maintained that free markets were not merely a good or even the best manner of satisfying material wants: they were the only manner of doing so that did not threaten personal freedom.”

It was this insistence that the free market is the only possible system capable of avoiding the creeping menace of socialist tyranny, and unwillingness to interfere with the guidance of the fabled “invisible hand,” that prevented the people of the 21st century (us) from acting in time to avert the looming disaster.

It’s not too late for us, but the future is closing fast. This fact-based, articulate work serves to warn us that denial-prone “free markets” are not the answer to climate change, they are the problem. I see it as required reading for anyone living on the planet today.

Fahrenheit $1.76 million: the destruction of Ray Bradbury’s Los Angeles home Guest Column

By Steve Litteral

Ray Bradbury is one of my favorite authors.

His tales gave me a great appreciation of literature when I was a young student.

Out of all of his many books and short stories, Fahrenheit 451 is Bradbury’s best-known work.

It is a tale of the future where people are hooked on prescription drugs, technology takes over, and mindless television programs are the only form of entertainment, since books are banned.

Books are not only illegal; they are searched for and burned by the government.

The book was published in 1953, but any contemporary reader will see many similarities with our society today. Of course, books are not banned these days, but they are largely ignored by a public who would rather watch a movie than read a book. Although Bradbury spent most of his life in California, he is actually an Illinois native. He was born in Waukegan in 1920, and it is in Illinois where Bradbury discovered his love of reading at his local library.

Bradbury passed away in 2012, and it was a huge loss to the world of literature. He was not only a great storyteller, but he was also a prominent advocate for public libraries.

Eventually, the Los Angeles home of Ray

Bradbury was sold to a local architect for $1.76 million. In the Midwest, that sounds like a lot of money, but where it is located in L.A., it was considered a bargain. His canary-yellow house is famous among his fans, and many people have probably seen his basement, which was featured at the beginning of every episode of his television series, The Ray Bradbury Theater (1985-1992).

The basement was packed with books, paintings, African masks, and toy dinosaurs that he used for inspiration while he was writing.

Recently, the former home of Bradbury was demolished by the current owner. I work at a historic house museum, so I find it frustrating that the home of such an important literary

figure can be so easily destroyed. The homes of many important authors have been saved to tell their story, and some authors like Edgar Allan Poe have several house museums dedicated to their memory.

The historic house museum has a long history in the United States, and it comes from the English tradition of preserving ancient sites and monuments. In 1895, there were about 20 house museums across the U.S., and today there are roughly 6,000 historic house museums.

The home is only the shell of the museum. It can be argued that the most important part of the house museum is the collection of artifacts.

Fahrenheit $1.76 million: the destruction of Ray Bradbury’s Los Angeles home u Continued from page 6 In the case of Bradbury, his home was a treasure trove of books, manuscripts and correspondence.

These places are not saved to serve as a shrine to any certain historical figure, but they represent their role, however small it may have been, in culture and history.

History is a topic that is not stressed in schools as much as it was in the past, so public history sites like house museums are filling the gap in

education. These sites are very important to future generations.

Although it is very sad that Bradbury’s home was destroyed, there are signs of hope. The University of Indiana at Indianapolis has a Center for Ray Bradbury Studies that was created in 2007. They have saved many artifacts from the Bradbury home, including photos, correspondence, and a research library that can be used by scholars for research. If you would like to take

a short road trip, the Waukegan Park District offers a walking tour of many of Bradbury’s childhood haunts, including his boyhood home and the public library where he discovered the gift of literature.

Ray Bradbury will always be with us through his stories, but I think that there can be a balance that can integrate physical locations with important literature. For example, if you walk the streets of Waukegan, you will quickly realize that it was

the inspiration for Bradbury’s novel, Something Wicked This Way Comes, and other stories that are set in a fictional Illinois town.

If you don’t have the time to visit Waukegan, I would encourage you to visit your local library and pick up one of Ray Bradbury’s stories. You will not be disappointed.

   Thanks for shining light on Cherry Valley

Dear Mr. Reid, In your article, Assistant Attorney General Kristin M. Creel, chief of Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan’s (D) Opinions Bureau, explained “... based on common law principles which have been incorporated into Illinois law by section 1 of the Common Law Act ..., a village president may not serve simultaneously as the village’s budget director, if the budget director is appointed under section 8-2-9.1 of the Municipal Code.” This opinion is also shared by Winnebago County State’s Attorney Joe Bruscato, as quoted in your article. Attorney Jim Stevens, the attorney for Cherry Village, seems to be having trouble understanding the above information as to the common law principles.

If President James Claeyssen sees fit to appoint himself budget director and is also liquor commissioner and now is acting as temporary village administrator, will we next hear that he is now public works director and chief of police? He was elected as president with the salary of $14,400.

Now, after he appointed himself to be budget director, that increases his salary by $6,000. Liquor commissioner pays him $300 more. Bringing the amount of money that the village of Cherry Valley is paying this “part-time mayor” to $20,700. Not bad for a part-time mayor in a village of 3,000 residents!

The auditors that the village has been using have also stated that there were too few checks and balances when the president/budget director/temporary village administrator and the treasurer of the village are the only two people running the village. They recently changed auditors. It might be just a coincidence!

What is so confusing, Attorney Stevens?

Thank you, Mr. Reid, for all your work on this interesting article.

I’m sure Sen. Kirk is glad the public has woken up to the seriousness of global warming, and that supporting climate legislation is no longer threatening to one’s political career.

Kudos to Sen. Kirk for voting today for Sen. Brian Schatz’s amendment asserting that global warming is real and significantly caused by humans. I urge him to work on market-based solutions that charge fossil fuel producers for the harmful emissions their products cause with full rebate of the revenue to the public.

legacy of gambling expansion. The legalization of video gambling expanded the number of slot machines from 10,000 at 10 casinos by an additional 19,000 machines operating in nearly 4,700 neighborhood casinos statewide. Internet gambling on the Lottery and horse racing (Advanced Deposit Wagering), and privatization of the Lottery also were approved under the former governor. Illinois residents are now gambling and losing millions of dollars every month.

Gambling is an unstable source of revenue that has not and cannot solve Illinois’ budget crises. For every dollar gambling interests indicate is being contributed in taxes, it usually costs taxpayers $3 in social welfare, criminal justice, and regulatory costs.

Gov. Rauner wants to clean up Illinois and try a new approach. ILCAAAP encourages the governor and his administration to look for workable and fresh ideas, and recognize that expanding gambling is a failed and flawed solution that does not work.

Editor’s note: The following was addressed to Senior Assistant Editor Brandon Reid in response to his Jan. 14-20 article, “Attorney General Opinions Bureau: Cherry Valley village president should not also serve as budget director.”

Dear Mr. Reid, It was with great interest that I read your article in The Rock River Times, especially the section about Assistant Attorney General Kristin M. Creel, chief of Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan’s (D) Opinions Bureau, explaining “... based on common law principles which have been incorporated into Illinois law by section 1 of the Common Law Act ..., a village president may not serve simultaneously as the village’s budget director, if the budget director is appointed under section 8-2-9.1 of the Municipal Code.” This opinion is also shared by Winnebago County State’s Attorney Joe Bruscato, as quoted in your article.

If Cherry Valley Village President James Claeyssen sees fit to appoint himself budget director and is also liquor commissioner and now is acting as temporary village administrator, it would seem the village may be taking the same path as Dixon, Illinois, in that he is building his own little dynasty and will be in total control of village monies. Not a good thing.

The auditors the village has been using have also stated that there were too few checks and balances when the president/budget director/temporary village administrator and the treasurer of the village are the only two people running the village.

Thank you, Mr. Reid, for all your work on this interesting article, and please keep the pressure on the village to ensure that everything is kept above board and in the best interest of the residents of Cherry Valley.

   Cherry Valley village attorney lacking understanding of common law principles?

Editor’s note: The following was addressed to Senior Assistant Editor Brandon Reid in response to his Jan. 14-20 article, “Attorney General Opinions Bureau: Cherry Valley village president should not also serve as budget director.”

   Climate change and Senator Mark Kirk

Thank you for publishing an article by Robert and Sonia Vogl about Sen. Mark Kirk’s position on climate change (“Climate change and U.S. Sen. Mark Kirk,” Jan. 21-27 issue). It’s amazing how much public opinion and political will can help a senator take a position on an issue that has had our country tied up in knots.

   Expanding gambling is a failed and flawed solution that does not work

Illinois Church Action on Alcohol and Addiction Problems (ILCAAAP) leads the statewide coalition to oppose the expansion of gambling and support the strict regulation of gambling. We were glad to learn that Gov. Bruce Rauner (R) does not gamble and that he sees the problems gambling has brought. So, we pray that his actions will be the best for Illinois and for the people of our state.

Although former Gov. Pat Quinn (D) vetoed two massive gambling bills, he left behind a

Two new children’s books from Jungle Wagon Press Book Review

By Susan Johnson

Copy Editor Jungle Wagon Press is releasing two new books that are worthy of special attention. One is a unique book about a difficult subject, helping children and loved ones deal with the loss of a loved one. The other is a funny, heartwarming book about how grandchildren can bring out the youth in their grandparents.

Heaven, by Angela Malavolti (ISBN: 978-09904271-1-7), illustrated by Angie Scordato, brings spiritual comfort to those who are grieving, as told from the viewpoint of the departed loved one without being maudlin. Malavolti wrote this book after losing her sister-in-law to cystic fibrosis in 2010, leaving two 18-month-old twin daughters. Her hope is that the book “ministers to every person whose heart longs for the arms of a departed loved one.” While the story is spiritual in nature, she says, “My intention is not to claim prophetic wisdom or analyze biblical truths but only to suggest the most delightful possibilities that Heaven just may hold for us.”

The pastel-type illustrations of Angie Scordato complement the comforting words of the text.

The loved one in Heaven says, “I say a prayer for you/With every single breath you take./I lay here with you through the night/Till morning when you wake.” The loved one is depicted as a bright, white, angelic-type figure so that the readers can fill in the details as they see fit.

The simple story is presented from a Christian perspective without mentioning any particular denomination. The author says, “We must always look first to God’s Word, the Holy Bible, to learn about the Kingdom of Heaven!” The last two pages list some appropriate Scripture verses about the joys of Heaven. I would highly recommend this book to both children and adults who are missing a departed loved one.

Shake Things Up, Grandma!, written and illustrated by Donna Sawtelle (ISBN: 978-09904271-4-8), she says, “is based on advice I was given by my granddaughter, Sarah, when she was 8 years old. We sat together chatting in the car

on the way to a church activity. For 20 minutes, she advised me on how I could be more modern and youthful. As she talked, I quickly jotted her words down ... I thought it was so hilarious it should be shared with others.”

As Sawtelle freely admits, she had to edit the advice for the purposes of the book, but as she says, “the voice of a sweet, candid little girl shines through the story and into the hearts of grandmas everywhere!”

Some of the comments are as follows: “Grandmas are boring. ... They don’t wear cool clothes.

They wear old people style clothes like pants that go practically up to their chins! ... They don’t wear shirts with pictures of puppies or kitties on them ... they could at least put sequins on their clothes ... if you wear sparkly clothes, you’ll look happy Continued on page 42 u

Donald Brown — serving his nation with honor Voices from the Grave

By Kathi Kresol

Local historian, paranormal investigator and operator of Haunted Rockford Paranormal Events “The true soldier fights not because he hates what is in front of him, but because he loves what is behind him.” — G.K. Chesterton Donald Hamilton Brown, an African-American, was born in Jackson, Tennessee, on June 22, 1925, to Mr. and Mrs. Robert Brown. His family moved to Rockford a year later.

Donald was raised in Rockford and seemed to excel at all he attempted. He attended Blake Elementary School and West High School, and was on the track team. Donald was a talented athlete, and is featured in the West High yearbooks for 1940 and 1941 and mentioned in the

Rockford paper. He set a record for the high jump and built a reputation for his skills for the hurdles. He graduated in May 1942, and then headed to Wilberforce University in Ohio. He attended college there until he joined the United States Navy in 1944.

Donald served in the Pacific campaign and reached the rank of Yeoman 2nd class. His duties included clerical work. He dealt with mail and telephone calls, handled visitors, organized files, and ordered and distributed supplies. From all accounts, Donald was very efficient at handling his many duties.

In 1945, Donald was in the Marshall Islands in support of the invasions there. The Marshall Islands were ruled by the Japanese during the 1930s and 1940s. It was an important geographical position, and the Japanese built military bases there in the 1930s to fortify their Eastern

defenses. The United States invaded the islands members of the Jefferson Horton Post, Amerin 1944, causing major damage to the bases and ican Legion Brown Webster Post, Veterans of the islands themselves. Many Japanese people Foreign Wars and the Navy Club of Rockford.

Winnebago Buy Local celebrates fifth year with Feb. 3 event

Staff Report

Over the past five years, more and more people have pledged to “buy local” in Winnebago County, and over the past half-decade, more than 175 locally owned businesses have helped to make this continue to be possible. To celebrate this local achievement, Winnebago Buy Local is inviting local business owners to its 2015 Kickoff Celebration Tuesday, Feb. 3.

Beginning at 6 p.m., Feb. 3, at Giovanni’s Convention Center, 610 N. Bell School Road, Rockford, this free event will feature Saya Hill-

man of Chicago’s Mac & Cheese Productions.

Hillman is one of Brazen Careerist’s Top 20 Young Professionals to Watch, appears in Forbes, The New York Times, The Chicago Tribune, Crain’s Chicago Business, US News & World Report and The Huffington Post, and is a TEDx speaker.

The Feb. 3 celebration will have door prizes, hors d’oeuvers, networking opportunities and a cash bar.

Winnebago Buy Local’s mission is supporting and cultivating local independent businesses while focusing on the transformation of the

If you joined Winnebago Buy Local ...

DO YOU KNOW WHAT YOUR MEMBERSHIP DID IN 2014?

DearHonorableWinnebagoBuyLocalMember, We are excited for 2015. Because of your support, people are seeing the importance of buying local, and the momentum is stronger than ever before! Do you feel it? Membership is growing still, totaling over 175 member businesses, increasing from 140 members in the beginning of 2014.

Members of Winnebago Buy Local are finding success through actively buying local themselves, supporting and making connections at our meetings, interacting on social media with each other and the community, cross-promoting, retailing local business products, and joining forces with special events. We are proud to see our members are working together to make Winnebago County’s local economy strong. Because of local businesses like yours, Winnebago County continues to improve and become unique from anywhere else in the world.

Through our grassroots efforts in 2014, Winnebago Buy Local has received great positive press from the local newspapers, and has been promoted and advocated on local news stations, blogs, social media, radio stations and more. We reached out to the attendees of the Rockford City Market, community events and other public meetings. We are excited to have so many community members wholeheartedly standing behind us and look forward to more positive press in 2015.

2014 accomplishments: Be proud to be a Winnebago Buy Local member

February of 2014 was our kick-off celebration at Giovanni’s with Lynn Piesker as our Guest Speaker with over 125 local business owners in attendance. She gave us important information regarding the “First Order of Business” and making sure our business pyramid is right-side-up.

In March of 2014, we launched our brand-new website with the help of local business, Rockford Art Deli, featuring better member profiles, event pages, resources, and a mobile friendly directory.

Take a look at www.buywbl.com.

In April of 2014, we began our year of free educational meetings for our local businesses at Health First Wellness Center with IL State Representative John Cabello, who gave us advice on pushing LOCAL-support on a government level. Dr. Rob Andino taught us about how our health is most important as business owners.

Other free educational meetings throughout

the year included keynote speakers and topics such as: Lori Gummow of Keep Northern Illinois Beautiful on Green Business Practices, Aaron Wilson from Channel 23 on How to Get Your Message Across, and Meeting of the Media Minds featuring media supestars, Steve Shannon from 97ZOK, Whitney Martin from Channel 23, Melissa Westphal from Rockford Register Star. And Jacob Bradt from RockfordBuzz.com.

July of 2014, A Totally Local Ice Cream Social 2nd annual celebration was held at the Lombardi Club and was attended by over double the attendance of 2013, reaching close to 800 guests. The public who attended gained awareness about different local businesses through locally made Dairyhaus ice cream, locally made root beer by Rockford Brewing Company, and the distribution of over 30 wacky toppings by different local business owners. At this event, we collected school supplies and were able to donate six overflowing boxes of school supplies (totaling 643 items) along with $350 to Rock House Kids to help make back-to-school time easier for children who did not have the means to purchase the supplies they need. We can’t wait to make this event bigger and better in 2015.

In July of 2014, members of Winnebago Buy Local participated in an outdoor event with the Main Street District in Rockford called “Off the Chain,” which featured 100 percent locally-owned businesses, food vendors and local music on the blocks of Main Street and State Street.

In August of 2014, we received three honorable proclamations making the ENTIRE month of AugustWinnebagoBuyLocalMonth,county-wide.On Aug. 4, 2014, Mayor Morrissey presented us with a Proclamation for the City of Rockford. On Aug. 14, 2014, County Board Chairman Scott Christiansen presentedtheProclamationforWinnebagoCounty.

On Aug. 18, 2014, Board of Trustees member Aaron Wilson presented the Proclamation for the Village of Machesney Park. We continue to feel honored, and look forward to proclaiming August 2015 Winnebago Buy Local Month.

December of 2014, Winnebago Buy Local held its 4th Local Holiday Market at Rockford University with astounding support from the community.

More than 30 local businesses gathered to sell goods/services for the holiday season, and dozens of our Winnebago Buy Local businesses were represented in a locally-printed tote bag given to the first 120 guests. Rosie’s Birthday Club wrapped gifts for a donation that benefited area children in need of

local economy toward green jobs, sustainable industries and practices, and buying local first.

Because local businesses are the bread-and-butter of every city, Winnebago Buy Local helps the local economy keep local wealth local while also making the region a unique place to live and visit.

Studies mention that shopping with a locally owned business keeps about 68 cents of every $1 spent in the local economy, versus much less when shopping with non-locally owned businesses.

Through the past five years, Winnebago Buy

Local has held several large, yearly, events; has given back to the local nonprofit community; and has continuously held valuable and educational gatherings for locally owned businesses to network and help each other succeed in the constantly changing business landscape.

Local, unique to Winnebago County businesses are encouraged to attend the Feb. 3 event and to join Winnebago Buy Local in its fifth year.

birthday parties. We invited Rockford University’s Sociology and Anthropology clubs to sel hot cocoa and coffee for a donation, which benefited Rockford area homeless. Through social media, news coverage, and hard work, we blew past all records in attendance, mounds of positive comments, and sales were great for businesses involved.

Throughout the year, we maintained a highly active social media presence on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, MailChimp, Youtube, and LinkedIn, communicating with the public and business owners alike to draw everyone closer together and make local businesses more accessible and available to the community.

Without your help, we wouldn’t have achieved such great things in 2014. Winnebago Buy Local is 100% volunteer, simple and grassroots. We are membership funded and depend on your sup-

Rogue Ales’ Hazelnut Brown Nectar certainly agreeable

By Michael Sears

President, Forest City Brewers Hello, all my beer geek friends.

Hoo-boy, my annual football hangover has arrived. The overload of college bowls and NFL playoffs is like an extended New Year’s Eve. Now, I must “recover” until early September. But alas, coming soon there is NCAA March Madness

and major league baseball as my aspirin. The Cubs are looking like they are starting to make good on the promise they offered a few years ago.

Also, I would like to pay my respects for ol’ No. 14, Mr. Cub, Ernie Banks. God bless, you Ernie, we should all have your never-ending optimism and zeal for life. “Let’s play two!”

This week, I would like to feature one of my wife’s favorite beers. I like to sneak the six-pack into the house and let her notice it in our beer fridge. It is an American Brown Ale brewed by Rogue Ales, and the name is Hazelnut Brown Nectar.

Rogue Ales was founded in Ashland, Oregon, in 1988 by three Nike, Inc., executives: Jack Joyce, Rob Strasser and Bob Woodell. In 1989, the company relocated to Newport, Oregon, a coastal fishing town, after Jack visited the area at the suggestion of a partner. He met Mo Niemi, owner of Mo’s restaurant chain. Mo was well known for her clam chowder and generosity. Niemi had interest in operating a brewpub on the Newport waterfront in a property her family owned. Jack was skeptical about running a full-fledged brewery, but Niemi persuaded him to take on the venture. Niemi insisted that the company would give back to the local community. She had a saying: “[I]f you’re lucky enough not to go broke, feed the fishermen.”

Although now deceased, Niemi’s legacy lives on at Rogue: her image is now featured on the Half-e-weizen bottle (originally Mo’s Ale and now MoM Ale).

Rogue’s portfolio of beers is an eye-popping 44 variations of ales, all of which (except one) are fermented with Rogue’s proprietary yeast known as Pacman. The brewery is highly decorated with awards and medals too numerous to mention here. Check it out on their website at http://www.rogue.com/.

Hazelnut Brown Nectar is one of these award-winning beers and is available year round. I am using an ordinary shaker pint glass for this review, seeing as it is an American

Brown, and allowing the beer to warm to 50 degrees Fahrenheit.

The pour is a wonderful reddish-brown color, reminiscent of cherry wood. A full two-fingered-plus depth of oatmeal-colored head rises, showing excellent retention, eventually receding to a thin layer with nice lacing. The clarity is somewhat hazy, but cannot hide the continuous stream of carbonation bubbles rising to the top.

The aroma is of toasted biscuit, hazelnut and cocoa right off the bat. A deeper smell brings out some coffee and a tinny metallic ... hmmm. The combination creates a sweet, earthy presence, similar to whole-grain cereal.

The first sip offers a toasty, sweet and mild hazelnut flavor that is very inviting. I also taste some yeasty presence, similar to some dark Belgian ales that I have tried. The flavors clear nicely on the finish, with a light, crisp dryness and moderate earthy bitterness. As the beer warms, it gets a tad sweeter and no sign of alcohol warmth.

The mouth feel is medium, soft and almost fuzzy, offering some foaminess on the swirl around the mouth and an ever-so-slight coating on the tongue. The finish has some astringency, but is fairly clean.

Overall, a nice, toasty brown with good balance and subtle flavors, the hazelnut isn’t overpowering, but is prevalent in both aroma and taste. I really appreciate the restrained approach that is neither cloying nor overly sweet. What really stood out was how quickly it disappeared from my glass, keeping it flowing and extremely drinkable, rich in depth, and agreeable.

Prost!

Michael Sears is president of the Forest City Brewers. The Forest City Brewers is a homebrewing club dedicated to the art of finely crafted beer.

The club meets the first Wednesday of each month at Rockford Brewing Company, 200 Prairie St., on the Rock River. For more about Forest City Brewers, go to http://forestcitybrewers.org. If you have comments or recommendations, contact Mike at rockfordcraftbeer@comcast.net.

An interview with Billy Rankin of Nazareth Rockford Rocked Interviews

By Todd Houston

https://www.facebook.com/RockfordRockedInterviews Following is an interview with Nazareth’s Billy Rankin, who has played Rockford a number of times.

Rockford Rocked Interviews (RRI): You were born in Lennoxtown, Scotland, and were a member of the platinum album-selling band Nazareth. Tell us a bit about your childhood and how you got involved in music.

Billy Rankin (BR): As was the rule in Scotland during my growing up, you either became a musician or a soccer player ... or worked down the mines! I was lucky enough to have a family who supported my early musical journeys, though my cello playing expertise was always hushed up.

(Seriously, scratching between your legs doesn’t get you girls!) After joining Nazareth stablemates “The Sensational Alex Harvey Band” aged 18, I was Naz’s first choice as replacement for Zal Cleminson, ’cause he played with SAHB, too.

RRI: As a guitarist myself, I’m curious to know which guitar players you looked up to when you first started out playing. In other words, who were (are) your guitar heroes?

BR: Oh, there’s so many, and I’ve been lucky enough to have met ’em all! Alvin Lee, Mick Ronson, Ritchie Blackmore, Ted Nugent, Rory Gallagher, even Jimmy Page, who bought me a scotch at a wedding. Then, after visiting the restroom, forgot he’d done so and tried to have me thrown out! Harrumph! (laughs) RRI: Hilarious! You guys (Nazareth) have been in Rockford a few times. The Speedway with Ted Nugent in 1979, and then headlining shows at the MetroCentre in 1981 and 1982. What are your memories of those events, if any?

BR: Rockford was always a great rock ’n’ roll

town. In fact, I remember losing a couple of guitars to the audience on one occasion, then watching as they got torn apart. The only other place that happened to me was in Detroit. (Thank goodness for guitar sponsorship, huh?)

RRI: Around 1983, you left Nazareth and released your first solo album, Growin’ Up Too Fast, scoring a U.S. hit with the song “Baby Come Back.” Just how many teen movie soundtracks did this song appear on?

BR: Ha! A lot! More to the point, this was just when MTV came out, and I remember being mobbed by some kids in an ice cream parlor who recognized me from TV! I bought them all an ice cream ... you’d get arrested for that nowadays! (laughs) RRI: Nazareth covered the song “Love Hurts” on the platinum-selling album Hair of the Dog. The song ended up reaching No. 8 on the U.S. Top 10 Billboard charts. Do you ever wish that you had written it? Royalties must have been pretty good for ol’ Boudleaux Bryant. Thoughts?

BR: Are you s---tin’ me, Todd? Of course I wish I’d written it. I’ve played it like 5 million times!

We also had a hit with Joni Mitchell’s “This Flight Tonight,” which she played at a gig in Germany we attended. She introduced it as “A Nazareth song.” That was a special moment for us.

RRI: You have been involved with the other side of radio now for quite some time. As of this interview, you have your own show called Billy Rankin’s School of Rock on TeamRock Radio Streamed from London but available on DAB in the U.K. and digitally throughout the world.

BR: Yeah, I’ve been doing radio now for about 10 years. TeamRock are a new “multi-media” company with big plans worldwide. I’m extremely glad, though slightly bemused to be part of it all. I think my question to Kid Rock a few years ago “Why are you so crap?” may have

swung it my way!

RRI: All right, Billy, I’m going to say a word or phrase, and you reply with the first thing that pops into your head. Ready? Here we go.

Cheap Trick ...

BR: Meeting Rick and Robin in a London music store 1978. Then, a year later, hearing the guitar riff I’d been playing that day appear on their Dream Police album. A few years ago, I confronted them about it, and they claimed it was “subconscious plagiarism.” “Don’t take offense, Bill,” Robin [Zander] said reassuringly.

“We’ve subconsciously plagiarized much better than you!” (laughs) RRI: Gordon Ramsay ...

BR: Oh, he’s a fellow Scot (or claims to be), so I’d best be careful here.

RRI: Rory Gallagher ...

RRI: A true hero of mine, and a genuinely nice guy, too. I first met him in a Glasgow pub in 1973 asking for his autograph. He obliged, and bought me a beer, too. I was 14!

RRI: Haggis ...

BR: A splendid Scottish dish best served with mashed potato and a dram of malt whiskey.

(Don’t ask what it’s made of ... oh, all right. It contains Gordon Ramsey’s bollocks.)

RRI: Houses with straw and grass for roofs ...

BR: We lived happily in them till the Romans arrived in 400 A.D. They laughed at us, so we ate them. (Romans also go well with Haggis, just sayin’.)

RRI: Yes or no ... was Mel Gibson’s Scottish accent in Braveheart a joke? Be honest, sir.

BR: Mel’s cry of “Freedom!” made him as welcome in Scotland as a fart in a spacesuit.

Nuff said!

RRI: What’s next for Billy Rankin?

BR: Oh, I dunno. Keep flying the flag for rock ’n’ roll? A wee dram and some Haggis

Learn to see a lot in a short amount of time Travel Like an Architect

By Robert and Lynn Belles

Independent Vacation Specialists To “Travel Like an Architect,” you will need to learn how to see A LOT in a little time.

Unfortunately, not everyone — architects included — can spend months traveling the globe.

Luckily, we discovered that a cruise vacation is the ultimate way to see the most places in the least amount of time.

As an example, a “typical” short (seven-night) getaway could include visiting six cities in four countries. Start in Barcelona, Spain, with the architecture of Antoine Gaudi. Day two, walk the maze of cobbled, narrow alleyways of Medina (old town). On day three, see Norman architecture in the 2,700-year-old walled City of Palermo, Sicily. Day five, Rome, Italy, where you see St. Peter’s Square, the Colosseum, the Pantheon, and MORE. Day six, on to the enclave of the super rich: Santa Margherita Ligure, Italy,

where you visit the 1550s Castle of Rapallo, the Basilica of St. Margaret of Antiochia, built in1658 on the remains of a 13th-century church, or the abby Abbazia della Cervara.

Finally, day seven, you visit Monte Carlo, Monaco, where there is everything from Julius Cesar’s 43 B.C. port of Monaco to the 1863 Casino de Monte Carlo that made this city famous.

Seeing this much in just one week is possible because your hotel MOVES while you dine, dance and sleep. You have a full day of architectural sightseeing in each city. At the end of your day, you return to the cruise ship, your floating, MOVING, hotel. While you unwind, and sleep, the captain drives the ship, your hotel, to the next city/country. You even have an entire “day at sea” to relax and enjoy.

Once you have done this, you will not settle for anything less than two weeks where you can take in 11 cities in seven countries!

Rob and Lynn Belles are owners of Belles Firm of Architecture, a local professional design firm.

They are seasoned travelers with family and adult-only international travel experience. They are teaching others what they know about traveling as a family, a couple and as business owners who stay connected with their clients, even while they are traveling abroad.

Tribute

Susan Johnson, copy editor, moves on after 21 years

By Brandon Reid

Senior Assistant Editor Susan Johnson loves cats. And dogs. And horses. And trees. And people. And Animal Planet. And The Amazing Race. And dandelion greens. And the First Amendment. And the Second Amendment. And God. And church.

And yes, even bats.

One day, our accountant let out a shriek. She came running frantically out of her back office, quivering, and announced, “There’s a bat in my office!” Most of us crowded in a corner, hiding. Susan, meantime, bravely marched to the back office and picked up the bat by the wing, carefully protected in an old dishrag. She calmly carried the bat through the office, talking to it gently while keeping it cupped in her hands, and then out the front door and across the street to a small green space.

Speaking of across the street, Susan is also fast and agile. Often having to cross Church Street to drop business mail in the mailbox, Susan sprints across three lanes of traffic like a cheetah. And she has demonstrated many times how, even at her age, she is still able to easily stretch her arms to the floor — placing palms flat on the ground — without bending her knees.

A broken foot was not enough to keep Susan out of work for even a minute. And neither have been multiple sneezes and coughs, which she attributes to having an allergy-like reaction to cold temperatures. She has braved many air-conditioned frozen bus rides in the summer and many brutally cold winter days.

Susan has been at The Rock River Times nearly every day, for 21 years, even working some Saturdays and Sundays. The only person with a greater tenure at the paper is Editor & Publisher Frank Schier. Susan is also likely among the longest-tenured members of the Rockford media.

While it has likely happened, it is hard to imagine a day when Susan has arrived late. She travels by bus from her home, which is in what many would consider one of Rockford’s toughest neighborhoods. She has lived there her entire life, since before crime was such a concern. And she walks a block (sometimes more) to the bus each day in the heat, in the cold, in the snow, on the ice, in the rain, in the sleet, in the dark, in the sunlight, in the middle of the night or in the middle of the day to get to and from work. She has endured many late nights (or early mornings) — going home sometimes as late as midnight or 6 or 7 a.m. the next day, staying until the paper is sent to the printer. And she has always come to work the next day.

Susan has done nearly every task at the newspaper since starting many years ago when the business was still run out of Schier’s home. Originally hired primarily for her typing and proofreading skills (she types like a tornado and has worn through many keyboards), Susan has proven to be gifted at the following, among other tasks: u Proofreading (she reads every word in the paper, from articles, to ads, to classified ads, to each and every little word in each and every legal notice, checking for spelling, grammar, Associated Press style and legal style);

u Editing letters to the editor (including calling each person who submits to confirm their letter and any changes that may be made to it); u Bulk mail (previously getting her fingers covered in ink each week, counting out hundreds of papers and dividing them by ZIP code, rubber-banding and bagging them up, and helping to carry the heavy bags to the Post Office); u Customer service (answering the phone and assisting customers and readers at the front desk, even while under the stress of deadline, and working closely with law offices, entertainment venues and individuals on the specifics of their legal notices, classified ads, articles or calendar listings); u Reporting (covering any story thrown her way, no questions asked, and also regularly covering Rockford’s Honor the Mounds event and other matters of interest, particularly animal rights, trees, the environment, horse racing, Native American culture, book reviews and public affairs); u Entertainment calendars (gathering and organizing hundreds of calendar entries each week, typing them in, proofreading them and working with venues to ensure they are correct); u Newspaper archives (assisting in organizing and archiving every issue of The Rock River Times); and u Shorthand (taking notes in shorthand, which to the rest of us look like hieroglyphics; she is a human tape recorder, and legend has it she once took notes in complete darkness — read more about that in her farewell column).

Many years before working at the newspaper, Susan was a self-published children’s book author.

In 1970, the Auburn High graduate penned Little Moon and the Sacred Oak. The book is about “Kirshna — the Great Spirit’s Sacred Oak,” and “Little Moon,” a Native American boy, and his father, “Bear Claw,” walking through the “Great Spirit’s Wood.” Oh, and she also illustrated the book, too. My family has a signed copy on our bookshelf, and our two young children enjoy having it read to them. Copies of the book are nearly impossible to find today — and so is finding another co-worker, friend, journalist, activist, crusader and person like Susan Johnson.

Susan has been here for 21 years. Friday, Jan. 30, will be her final day in the office. We wish her many happy “paws” as she pursues other interests. She has said she plans to continue to contribute articles and ideas as time permits, so we will likely see her name in the paper every now and again.

Meantime, adopt a pet, plant a tree this spring or work to prevent the unnecessary destruction of trees in honor of Susan’s 21 years of dedication to this newspaper and the Rockford community.

The following is from the “About the Author” on the back cover of Little Moon and the Sacred Oak: “December15,1948,SusanCandiceJohnsonwas born in Rockford, Illinois. Her early grade school

was St. Paul Lutheran; from there she went on to Auburn High where she was active on the school paper and became a member of Quill and Scroll before graduation in 1966. Finishing a business course at Midstate College of Commerce, she worked briefly as a Kelly Girl, then switched to Civil Service.

“All her life Miss Johnson has enjoyed reading, sketching, oil painting, and gardening. Concerning this book, she says: ‘The Sacred Oak is a symbol. Actually, all trees should be “sacred” in the sense that beauty once lost may never be regained. Trees are a vital natural resource often taken for granted, sometimes destroyed in man’s technological race for progress, which leaves us all poorer for it in the end. But the young who are this country’s future may yet reverse the tide. It is to them that this book is dedicated.’ “(It may be interesting to note in passing that the most important tree in the author’s life was an elm — not an oak!)”

Following are some comments from co-workers and former co-workers: u Joe Baker, former senior editor — “It would be difficult to find a more industrious employee than Sue Johnson. Talk about the proverbial ‘nose to the grindstone.’ Her work skills benefited the rest of us, too. She is a whiz with shorthand, and Continued on page 18 u

18 The Rock River Times • Jan. 28-Feb. 3, 2015

Susan Johnson ... u Continued from page 16 could record comments faster than I could write.

She has more than earned her leisure. May the next chapter be fruitful and rewarding. Good luck, Sue.” u Jon Bystrom, former assistant editor, reporter, photographer and typesetter and original staff member of The Rock River Times — “In November 1991, I had just closed a family business and was looking for something meaningful to do. I signed up for a peace delegation going to El Salvador to witness the end of the civil war.

“I met Susan Johnson in December of 1991.

She was working part-time for a local peace organization. Her abilities were amazing, from how well she could type, edit everyone’s text, proofread, answer the phone, collate a newsletter and wait on people who entered the office.

“I couldn’t type at the time, so Susie agreed to type my screenplay for me. I brought my computer to her house, and she typed up my handwritten pages.

“She typed the first draft of my screenplay — a comedy called The Discount Detective. In the story, a group of local concerned friends start a weekly newspaper to stand up to Illinois-style corruption. (I learned to type on the rewrites.)

“In our work on that project, she introduced me to her writings, and I found Susie could write as well as she did everything else.

“I met Frank Schier a month after finishing the final draft of my screenplay in May of 1993. He said he had just bought The North End Times several months earlier and wanted to make it a weekly with the new name — The Rock River Times.

“Starting a weekly newspaper in the real world sounded like fun. I was an entrepreneur and a writer — seemed like providence. Frank hired me for his assistant, and I immediately suggested Susie for the ensemble of people he would need to build a quality and respected newspaper.

“Since then, Susie only impressed me further.

She takes shorthand like a court reporter. She writes stories with the talent of a savant and with the heart of a saint. She can do it all: Opinion pieces, news stories, community events and one of her specialties — book reviews.

“Her bias was always to tell the truth, to watch out for the interests of the community, as a voice of reason and compassion. She wrote to inform, to warn, to educate us all — from those considered the ‘least’ among us to the ‘high and mighty.’

“To her own peril and credit, she was not afraid to tell the truth. As unpopular or politically incorrect her opinions have been perceived, she stood by them. And in the 20 years I worked with her, she rarely missed a deadline.

“I have witnessed Susie in action, standing tall in the trenches for integrity at The Rock River Times. She deserves a medal of honor, respect and all the good karma she has sown. To say she will be missed is like saying the sunshine of truth will warm Rockford a little less without her. Well done, Susie! Thanks!” u Marilyn and John Lamar (Marilyn was accounting manager and legals editor for The Rock River Times for more than a decade, and John, her husband, is a local artist and longtime

friend and supporter of the paper. Both now run Studio 451 art gallery in Rockford, where John’s copper sculpture, paintings, and other works are available, alongside Marilyn’s copper and silver jewelry. Visit www.studio-451.com.) — “The Rock River Times is about to lose one of its cornerstones with Sue Johnson’s upcoming retirement. First to arrive in the morning, almost always to a ringing telephone and a line of customers, Sue is the most constant and reliable employee the paper has had throughout the years. Her typing skills are legendary with speeds up to 90 words per minute (wpm) — although we could never get her to admit to being able to type more than 70 wpm. In any case, in the years before being able to share electronic document files, Sue managed to wear out a number of keyboards nimbly typing copy. Not just the letters on the keys, mind you, but the whole dang keyboard.

I particularly want to thank you, Sue, for all the legal notices you carefully typed and exactingly proofread over the years. Each and every single one of them, boring as they may have been. Your work and assistance were invaluable to me.

“Fortunately, I have more endearing ways to remember you, Sue. Thanks to your consummate love of trees, John and I are greeted every morning by the flowering crab tree outside our east bedroom window that you gave us some 12 years ago. And when we come home at the end of the day, one of the first things we see as we pull in our driveway is your beautiful sugar maple, now about 15 years old. You have shared many of your little sapling trees over the years. Surely, everyone who has one of your trees considers themselves quite lucky to know you — I know I do.

“So, congratulations to you, Susie! If anyone has earned her retirement, and then some, it is you.

I hope you get to do all the things you’ve wanted to do now that you have the time. There is just one thing I think you should do. Every morning, you should call Frank and give him an update on your cats — just so he doesn’t miss you too much.

“Wishing you all the best, “Marilyn and John” u Jeff Helberg, senior graphic designer/ production manager — “It’s been my pleasure to work with Susan Johnson for more than 11 years. She is an outstanding employee, one I would hire in a minute if I could. Besides her ‘oldtime,’ yet relevant, skills, like shorthand, typing and editing, Susan is invaluable by dealing with thousands of customers annually, on the phone and at the front desk. Her excellent knowledge of all facets of the newspaper’s operation is so helpful, because she pitches in in every possible way.

“Susan brings more to work than the typical employee. Susan is an ethical and moral guidepost in that she defends what is right and speaks out against what is wrong. Susan has great levels of compassion for people at a disadvantage, and loves animals and all living things (including trees!). It’s refreshing to work with someone like Susan who holds life and truth and God in such high esteem. I will miss Susan greatly.” u Chris Luttig, legals editor and classifieds manager — “Susan will be missed, not only by The Rock River Times’ staff, but all those who she interacts with on a weekly basis. From the

Tribute regular customers that walk in, to the ladies at the County Clerk’s Office.” u Jeremy Oster, staff writer and advertising sales — “I met Susan Johnson in January of 2014 when I started working at TRRT. In my short time here, I can tell that Susan has been an important contributor these past 21 years to The Rock River Times newspaper, well beyond her title of copy editor.

“In addition to her clerical duties, Susan has long been the first smiling face that greets visitors to our downtown Rockford office. Anyone who has ever come down and filed an assumed name for a business, a divorce, or a name change probably remembers Susan’s prompt and polite service.

“Susan has written many informative and educational articles during her tenure as copy editor. Susan’s favorite reoccurring assignment is the column she writes on Honor the Mounds, which is held each August at Beattie Park in Rockford. I hope Susan continues to cover this event in her retirement.

“I will miss Susan’s cheerful greeting when I come in each day. Even on bad days, no matter what the mood in the office, we could always count on Susan’s positive Christian outlook to help increase morale. Good luck, Susan, in your retirement — we all know how much you’ve earned it!” u Jeff Havens, former staff writer/investigative reporter — “Susan was an excellent proofreader, and could always be relied on to provide accurate and timely work. I learned a great deal from her when I started at the paper in 2002. But more than that, she was the source for many interesting discussions, especially her passionate defense of those who had no voice, specifically animals.

“I very much enjoyed working with Susan, and wish her all the best in a well-earned retirement!” u Marieke McClendon, former classifieds and circulation manager and graphic designer — “During the time that I worked with her, Susan was always a very warm, helpful person. She worked really hard, was hyper-focused and super busy. In fact, if I remember correctly, during the time that I worked there she actually wore out a couple of keyboards! I can still vividly picture her handwriting in my mind. It is probably some of the most beautiful handwriting I’ve ever seen. So precise, consistent, and easy to read. I know that’s a weird thing, but I liked looking at the handwritten messages she would leave on my desk when I missed a phone call or something. It always seemed to me that she took great care in her work, was appreciative, and had a good sense of humor.” u Frank Schier, editor and publisher, — “The first time I met Sue was when she worked in the admissions office of Rockford College. I don’t know if she even remembers this; I was a non-trad student, and I noticed she was very intense and hard working. A few years later, this paper filled my life, and I needed help. ‘Susie,’ as I call her, has been helping me ever since, with so many things that have been well-noted in this article with much-deserved admiration by her co-workers.

“I really admire that she has worn out more than three keyboards; in every case, the ‘A’ key had a hole worn in it. She only types 80-plus words a minute.

“Susie also has community fans, who admire

her fine writing and the big heart reflected in the artisanship of her articles, reflecting her world of ever-growing knowledge and deep and sincere concern. She is the Queen of Our Calendars, and has gone out of her way to list many events for local organizations, arts groups, musicians and churches.

She is a church-going woman who abstains from alcohol, poor language and takes pity on those of us who don’t have those qualities (heathens like me), and I am New-Testamentally positive she is much in God’s favor. She is admirably passionate about and constantly displays God’s grace.

“Her articles about the environment are my favorites for their inherent love of the earth. We both have an affinity for trees; and when the unthinking city workers or some strange neighbor cuts down even a sapling on her property on Soper Avenue, she reacts as if those people have cut down her children — because they have. I have seen her go to great length to transplant saplings out of her yard, giving them to neighbors, friends or anyone who expresses an interest. Arbor Day has a great advocate in Sue Johnson.

“That brings to mind another one of her passions — horse racing. Really. Because she loves horses, her articles about thoroughbred racing are the most fun to tease her about, because of the seeming dichotomy with her character. Such joking usually occurs around the time of the Preakness (‘Second jewel in the Triple Crown,’ she notes when asked to spell the word ‘Preakness’). With a grin at my walking dictionary, I then trot out my form of my standard hyperbole, ‘Susie, I saw you out at OTB standing on tables, drinking martinis and smoking cigars after the last Kentucky Derby!’ “‘You’re crazy, and incorrigible’ is her usual reply, followed by a ‘Meowww.’ Yes, a ‘Meowww.’

“Through the years, Ms. Johnson has provided me with WAY TOO MUCH INFORMATION ABOUT CATS! She loves the dang, itchy things that I’m allergic to, despite my pointing out words like ‘CATastrophe, CATapult, CATaclysm, CATaract, CATcall, CATharis, CATerwaul, CATgut, CATheter, CAT-o-nine tails, and CATacombs.

After all those words, SHE STILL LOVES CATS. I don’t get it. She even collects neighborhood strays and feeds them.

“Speaking of feeding, Mr. Reid alluded to her affections for dandelions in her yard. Yes, she also loves what we might consider a lowly weed, too — for teas or salads. She loves to humorously proselytize to me about the wonders of their health benefits, resulting in my usual comment of ‘Go to your room.’ She will usually retort, ‘But I AM in my room.’

“And how true that is, because the office of The Rock River Times will alway be her home. Susie will always be welcome. Whenever she needs us, we will be here, because she has always been here for us, with the following and more: complete and amazing attention to detail, good grammar, unbelievable spelling, constant tolerance for my bad temper and expletives deleted, smiles, on-time-door-unlocking ability, great humor and unmeasurable dependability. Despite her cats, Susan Johnson has never missed a single Monday-Tuesday deadline in 21 years. Contrary to the cliché, Susan Johnson IS irreplaceable.”

42 The Rock River Times • Jan. 28-Feb. 3, 2015 Your Horoscope

By Denise Guzzardo

Week of Jan. 28Feb. 3, 2015 This Week: This week may start out a bit emotional or melancholy. However, by week’s end, everything begins to shift in the right direction. We are steadfast, neck-deep in Mercury retrograde, which can be a positive element as well as a negative one.

Regrouping, revamping and regenerating energy is key this week. Odd and old childhood memories may arrive out of the blue and create a cause-for-pause emotional aspect. Revisit these with an open heart. This time, you will get it right, and you will understand the meaning of it all. Embrace the collective consciousness, and align with those who understand your true purpose in life. Enjoy.

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) — Fabulous opportunities for employment or financial gain arrive during this time. Pay attention to the universe, as it provides an answer to a prayer. Try not to concern yourself with the whereabouts of others. You have your own responsibilities to deal with, so cluttering your head with everyone else’s business will not help you. Pay close attention to children and pets. Unusual behavior could arise out of the blue with an unexpected outcome.

Protect those who cannot protect themselves.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20)­— You may feel as though you want to throw the towel in with a family member or close friend regarding their recent behavior. Don’t take this personally; this isn’t your responsibility. Financial aspects appear to be on the upswing. Set some money aside for a rainy day. Regardless of how screwy your schedule may appear this week, allow time to hook up with one of your zany friends for a clear-cut perspective on life. Once you hook up

with those of like mind, you’re able to feel “less complicated.” A little bit of humor goes a long way this week.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) — You have no idea how much a family member or friend appreciates the love and kindness you have extended to them over the past few months.

Their gratitude will be expressed in ways you can never imagine. Now, it’s your turn to shine!

Your work environment is going to bless you with a “special project” that will make up for the past few months of “ditch digging” you have endured being a team player. Enjoy!

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) — Your contribution to a friend or family member’s well-being will be evident during this time. You are looking into expanding your current financial endeavors, and out of the blue, you discover you have a hidden talent, and there is a market for your exclusive trademark. Word travels fast. You will be in demand before you know it, doing something you love for the financial balance you require.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) — You are in the driver’s seat on so many different levels, you may not know which way to turn early on this week when unexpected information arrives that blows your mind! Your concern for a loved one may have you in a bit of a quandary early on this week. However, an unexpected solution arrives at the 11th hour. Upgrades with your financial elements are on the horizon. Try not to look a gift horse in the mouth. This is a blessing in disguise.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) — This re-occurring family problem needs to be addressed with diplomacy and respect for “all parties” concerned. Walking wide of it only creates more difficulty and heartache down the road. If you’re saying to yourself this is not your responsibility, expect something ugly to erupt shortly over all of this. You may find yourself on the outside looking in as a result of your continued denial of this situation. Midweek, a frustrating business aspect finally smooths out in your favor. Now, it’s

Horoscopes/News/Vibe Entertainment/Sustainable Living time to move forward to bigger and better things.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) — It’s best to understand when you should intervene and when you shouldn’t. Adults are adults and children are children, don’t confuse the two. Do not bring adult matters to a child’s ears as well as do not treat an adult like your child. You may find that you misinterpreted another’s viewpoint about a stressful situation entirely. Once you take the time to investigate all of the information, this will all make more sense to you in the long run. As things begin to get back to normal, you are able to align yourself with a peaceful understanding of all things. A love from your past resurfaces during this time. In April, you’ll know exactly where your heart is.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) — Weird or unusual information arrives with business and property now. If you can see it in your mind’s eye, you can create it in this physical world. Romantic aspects and friendships require work, and it’s not everyone else’s responsibility to do the work for you. If you could just put yourself in the other person’s shoes for just one day, you would have a clear-cut perspective on how to improve the quality of your “entire” family’s life, not just that one demanding crybaby who is taking up all of your time and energy in a negative way. You have no reason to fear this change. In fact, it would be best to embrace it. Expect the universe to favor you now with these elements, provided you can stop projecting your misdirected anger at innocent bystanders.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) — Travel is indicated during this time, and you may find yourself mixing business with pleasure. Saturn has entered your sign, and you are ready to work hard and play hard. Family has played an emotional role with your well-being for the past two years. Like Dorothy Gale in the Wizard of Oz elegantly said from the heart: “Some of it was beautiful, and some of it was not very nice.”

Well, it’s time to hang on to the beautiful pieces

as you discard the dark parts. You have no power over the landslide that a loved one has decided to embark on. It’s time to love yourself, care for yourself and make you the No. 1 priority.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) — Powerful financial aspects align for you. Take advantage of this timely aspect, and clear up any additional debt you may have incurred. This will be a theme for you in the months to come, allowing you to set some cash aside for a rainy day. Midweek, you will have the opportunity to clear the air with a loved one. Choose your words carefully, and you will be extremely effective in the long run. Be extremely cautious with animals at this time. If you have any doubt in your mind about the welfare of a four-legged friend, seek professional advice.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) — Collaborations with those of like mind in the creative field provide you with a tremendous amount of satisfaction. Romantic aspects are highly charged and emotional early this week. Try not to overreact to another and their unusual behavior.

This may not be what it appears to be, and you do not want to accuse someone until you have a chance to talk it out. Outside influences are taking a toll on your own inner circle. Be patient and offer emotional support. This will all make perfect sense by week’s end.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) — Your contributions to another loved one’s well-being will balance your karma tenfold. I know that this isn’t your intention to be “paid back somehow from the universe” for being a tenderhearted person.

Just be grateful that you have the intuition to know where you are supposed to be and how you are supposed to contribute to the greater good of humanity. Finances or additional education will be a focus. There is help from an unexpected source. Look at all of your options, and choose the path with the least resistance.

Illinois home ... Two new children’s books from Jungle Wagon Press u Continued from page 5 from those who share its concerns.

David Denholm of the PSRC commented: “The idea of converting home health care workers into public employees in order to be able to force them to pay union dues was payback to unions for their political support. When the U.S. Supreme Court shot that down in the Harris decision, thanks to the fine work of the National Right to Work Foundation, they had to try to find another way to accomplish that goal. Forcing home health care workers to attend union indoctrination sessions is a prime example of how desperate public officials in Illinois are to curry favor with union bosses and shore up the unions’ sagging fortunes. It is no wonder that labor unions are losing members and that opinion polls show public support for unionism at near-historic lows.”

Alliances provide more health care services

By Richard S. Gubbe

The landscape of health care in the region has changed significantly over the past two years, with new alliances, strengthened affiliations and new sources for services.

Two major concerns will carry forth. While an increase in treatment options is always helpful, will that translate to a lowering of costs to the consumer? Will the consumer continue to suffer from price-gouging and needless procedures?

The mergers and acquisitions of the three major providers in the area — SwedishAmerican, Rockford Health Systems and OSF St. Anthony — have shown both growth and posturing.

Are these acquisitions a bigger fish swallowing the little fish to grow into an even bigger fish? Is the health care industry going the route of banks, hotels and casinos? Indications are all three outlets have traded up to better themselves and a changing marketplace. What has transpired is an expansion of services and the aligning with big names to do what seems to be a trend across the country: big is more stable.

The consumer wants a better deal from the industry, but seeing that in dollars may have to wait. For now, expansion of services is adding to the value of health care providers, says Dr. Bill Gorski, president and CEO of SwedishAmerican.

“Value doesn’t always have to be money. It can be access to more resources,” Dr. Gorski told The Rock River Times.

Early statistics show the Affordable Care Act has done little to curb hospital profits thus far, a segment on 60 Minutes reported recently.

Instead, only a reduction in Medicare fees has been found.

“People look for the easier way out, and pills and potions seemed to be the easy way out. It’s human nature,” Dr. Gorski said. “The medical profession has fostered that over time, and it will take time to reverse that.”

With large mergers in Chicago and across the land, everyone has a partner at the profitable dance.

“What is really happening is we are spending an extraordinary amount of money, and the quality of service doesn’t match up,” Dr. Gorski said.

He said the federal and state governments, along with private insurers “are demanding a higher quality of care.”

That scrutiny, it is hoped, will drive prices downward. Meanwhile, Gorski said his services will continue to expand, such as the new better-life wellness program at the YMCA and the opening of the cancer treatment center.

SwedishAmerican has been a pioneer in holistic health in the area, and Gorski sees only more in the future.

“I don’t see us pulling back on that,” Dr. Gorski said. “The platform is there now.”

The Illinois Health Facilities Planning and Services Review Board approved the merger of SwedishAmerican with UW Health recently after a five-year affiliation. Now, Dr. Gorski has to please two boards of directors. He called the affiliation agreement “a very mutual coming together. There were some things in northern Illinois we could do together, and the cancer center is the culmination of the affiliation agreement.”

This Illinois regulatory step was required to move forward with the merger and the change of ownership of SwedishAmerican to University Health Care, Inc. Mike Dallman, president and CEO of University Health Care, Inc., said: “UW Health pursued a partnership with SwedishAmerican because we both share a commitment to enhancing the health of the communities we serve. We are aligned in our collaboration to meet the challenges of a changing health care environment together.”

SwedishAmerican Health System and UW Health had signed a definitive agreement last fall to merge the organizations and make SwedishAmerican an integral part of UW Health.

SwedishAmerican maintains its local board with responsibility for local governance and policy-making. Management remains local with responsibility for day-to-day operations.

Dr. Gorski continues as the president and CEO of SwedishAmerican, and will report to both the SwedishAmerican board and the board of University Health Care, Inc., the not-for-profit organization that facilitates relationships with health systems on behalf of UW Health.

The agreement includes $255 million in capital over the next five years invested in the Rockford market for information technology, hospital infrastructure and new clinical care locations.

Combined, the organizations’ net revenues are approximately $3 billion.

Rockford Health Systems

Illinois Health Facilities and Services Review Board also recently approved the merger between Mercy Health System and Rockford Health System to create a combined multi-regional health system that will provide care in more than 40 northern Illinois and southern Wisconsin communities.

The new combined system operates five hospitals, employs more than 550 physicians, with approximately 7,500 employees, and provides outpatient service in more than 80 centers of care. It continues to operate as a not-for-profit organization with a charitable mission to provide excellent health care services close to home.

Mercy Health System President and CEO Javon R. Bea said: “With the necessary regulatory and

legal processes complete, we are excited to begin planning our integration strategy. By thoughtfully aligning our organizations, we will create a regional system that honors our existing legacies while strengthening both systems for the future.

“Our patients will continue to experience the high-quality care they have come to expect from Mercy Health System and Rockford Health System, and as our integration progresses, patients will have access to more services and specialties than ever before,” Bea added.

Rockford Health System President and CEO Gary E. Kaatz added: “This merger is great news for residents of northern Illinois and southern Wisconsin. As the founding partners of this new system, Mercy Health System and Rockford Health System will together forge a future that responds to the needs of the communities we serve. This new system is anchored in our region and will provide not only expanded and advanced medical care, but jobs and economic opportunity.”

With the finalization of the merger, the two systems will engage in integration planning to enhance

care for the patients and communities they serve.

The system will establish its headquarters in Illinois.

Bea will lead the new system, which will operate under a newly formed parent company.

Rowland J. McClellan will serve as the parent board chairman. Kaatz will continue to serve as Rockford Health System president and CEO, reporting to the Rockford Health System Board as well as to Bea as CEO of the parent company.

Bea continues as CEO of Mercy Health System.

Founded in 1883, Mercy Health System serves more than 1 million individuals through its 70 facilities in 24 southern Wisconsin and northern Illinois communities. Over the last 25 years, Mercy has grown from a stand-alone community hospital with no employed physicians into an integrated health system offering a network of primary and specialty care physicians, three hospitals, sub-specialty centers, insurance products, long-term care, retail services and preventive health and wellness programs. The system has more than 400 physicians and 4,000 employees.

Yoga as art, science and philosophy Yoga Rockford

By Jennie Williford Pranayama Yoga Studio We hear or see the catch phrase quite a lot that “Yoga is for body, mind and spirit.” However, BKS Iyengar, one of the world’s most prolific teachers and practitioners of yoga, is well known as saying that, “Yoga is an art, science and philosophy.” This view of yoga, I find, is much more accurate and encompasses all of what the practice of yoga has to offer.

Body, mind and spirit are seemingly separate, individual things that we consider yoga

to somehow bring together. Though this is not necessarily incorrect, it is much more compartmentalized than yoga truly is. To look at yoga as an art, a science and a philosophy, we are already forced to look at it as a holistic practice that encompasses all of the emotional, physical and practical aspects of our life.

Art comes in many forms, and as individuals, we look to art for transformation, or emotional or sensory experience.

Though there may be certain techniques within an art form, much of what makes art is the individual experience of it. Looking at yoga as art, there is a practical technique, even a physical aspect that can be looked at as a source of beauty from the

outside, but the real “use” lies in the individual results. One aspect of yoga as art may speak to one person, while another seems useless, or even revolting. But all art forms, including yoga, are there to evoke response in hopes to provide a new viewpoint or perspective on our deeper self.

For those who are not artistically inclined, yoga may also be viewed as a science. The aspects and teachings of yoga remain the same, though the approach may differ. As a science, the practice of yoga is an endless stream of experimentation and investigation within the laboratory of the self.

This does not mean that it stays at a physical or bodily level. Science encompasses the study of every aspect of the universe, and so does yoga.

Practicing yoga leads us to a practical understanding of our self individually and entirely. In a sense, yoga gives us a microscope, an X-ray, an MRI, and many other investigative tools to look at our own self on every level. Through this self-discovery, we come to an experiential understanding of our personal universe and its functioning within the world around us.

45

Lastly, BKS Iyengar encouraged us to look at yoga as a philosophy. In general, a philosophy covers a view of how the world works and why it works the way it does, explaining our place within the scheme of life. Yoga has a written philosophy called The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali. This treatise on yoga covers every aspect of living, from the moral precepts of interacting with the mundane world to the esoteric workings of the inner mind and consciousness. The nice thing about yoga philosophy is that it is a step-by-step approach accessible to any practitioner. No matter if you are just beginning or almost enlightened, there is a philosophical approach to yoga that can be grasped, debated and followed.

It serves us to view yoga as much more than just body, mind and spirit coming together. We avoid limiting our practice through only one aspect or another, and relate to yoga through a grander scheme. Whether you are an artist, a scientist, a philosopher or land somewhere in between, yoga is a universal practice that can bring transformation on all levels of being.

Illinois considers improvement to Water Usage Stamp From the Illinois Paddling Council

The current Illinois Water Usage Stamp (WUS) requirements oblige any out-of-state, visiting paddler to purchase this stamp to paddle on Illinois waterways. Organizers of paddling events, such as the Des Plaines River Canoe and Kayak Marathon, have expressed concern that this difficult and onerous requirement may be a barrier to participation.

Legislation has now been introduced that will automatically exempt event participants from

out-of-state from the WUS requirement. H.B. 0227 has been reintroduced by state Rep. Laura Fine as an amendment to the original legislation.

She suggests that paddlers and interested parties contact their state legislators — both House and Senate — and urge them to support and vote yes on this amendment. You can ID your elected legislators at http://openstates.org/find_your_legislator/; enter your address, and there they are, complete with contact info.

As a further consideration, note that many

states have recognized that exempting visiting paddlers from their licensing requirements is simply a good economic move — the tourism and hospitality industries benefit directly and many providers of goods and services benefit indirectly.

You may want to expand on this simple lesson in economics when you contact your legislators.

Here a few talking points: uThe current WUS requirements may reduce participation by out-of-state visitors on some of the most prestigious and well-attended events in

Illinois (e.g., the Des Plaines River Canoe and Kayak Marathon). u The procedure for acquiring the WUS is complicated and time-consuming, and visitors may either forego paddling activities or won’t come to Illinois for recreation at all. u The economic benefits of exempting not only event participants but all paddlers visiting Illinois far outweigh the net financial gain from the sale of WUS. Contact your legislators ASAP.

All About Birds Exhibit open house set for Jan. 31 at Atwood Center

Staff Report

A new exhibit has landed at Atwood Center, 2685 New Milford School Road, Rockford.

The “All About Birds Exhibit” will provide information about the diversity of bird species, particularly raptors, found in Illinois.

The interactive exhibit will feature a life-size

Super Bowl XLIX prediction: Seahawks will top Patriots

By Doug Halberstadt

Sports Columnist This is it, my final football prediction column for the 2014-2015 NFL season. After 17 weeks of regular-season action, followed by another three weeks of playoffs, we’re down to the final two teams vying for a Super Bowl championship.

The Seattle Seahawks are the defending champions and have earned the right to represent the NFC for the second consecutive year by winning a thrilling, come-from-behind, overtime game against the Green Bay Packers.

They will be trying to join the seven other NFL franchises that have won back-to-back Super Bowls.

The 1966-67 Green Bay Packers were the

first team to accomplish the feat. They were followed by the 1972-73 Miami Dolphins, the 1974-75 and 1978-79 Pittsburgh Steelers (the only team to accomplish this feat twice), the 1988-89 San Francisco 49ers, the 1992-93 Dallas Cowboys, and the 1997-98 Denver Broncos. The last team to win back-to-back championships is this year’s AFC representative, the New England Patriots. They won the Super Bowl in 2003 and again in 2004.

A couple of things these two teams have in common is great leadership on the sidelines and also on the field. Seattle’s head coach, Pete Carroll, and the Patriots’ head coach, Bill Belichick, are commonly thought of as two of the best coaches in the league. I doubt either

one could win a fan popularity contest; they both share a certain “bad guy” persona at times.

Belichick has survived numerous cheating allegations, including illegally videotaping opponents and, just last week, the now infamous deflated balls scandal, “DeflateGate.”

Carroll left his head coaching job at USC just ahead of an NCAA investigation for rules violations. He’s also been accused of being cocky and, at times, being too nice or soft for the NFL. Ironically, Carroll was the Patriots’ head coach immediately prior to Belichick. Despite their detractors, both are probably destined to enter the Hall of Fame following their careers.

The same can be said for the two quarterbacks, Tom Brady for the Patriots and Russell Wilson for the Seahawks. Brady is a lock for Canton when he retires. Wilson is still young and several years away from retirement. If he’s able to continue at anywhere near his current pace, he’ll be guaran-

teed a spot in the shrine.

Two legendary coaches combined with two superstar quarterbacks should equal a very entertaining game. Both offenses are capable of scoring often and quickly. I think the difference in this game is going to come down to the defenses.

They can bend, but they can’t break. Yielding a field goal instead of a touchdown will be a victory for both teams. Which defensive unit will be more successful at keeping their opponent out of the end zone on a consistent basis?

I’m giving that edge to the Seahawks. The “Legion of Doom” defense prides themselves on shutting down high-scoring opponents. If they hope to collect another shiny, diamond-encrusted ring, they’ll have to do just that. I think they’ll answer the call and make it two in a row by edging out the Patriots, 29-27.

Gateway Parks snow adventure park at Alpine Hills will help you feel young again

By Doug Halberstadt

Sports Columnist It’s said one of the best ways to feel young again is to do something you did when you were a kid. I had such an opportunity this past week.

Thanks to the Rockford Park District and the new Gateway Parks at Alpine Hills, I got to do some snow tubing, something I haven’t done in quite a long time.

The snow adventure park in the winter and golf center during the warmer months is at 4402 Larson Ave. They opened in December for snowboarding, tobogganing, snow tubing and skiing. In their first month of operation, they’ve welcomed more than 2,500 visitors.

Elected officials, program speakers and special

guests were invited to a ribbon-cutting ceremony last week.

Rockford Park District Deputy Director of Recreation Laurie Anderson said: “We’re thrilled to partner with Gateway Parks to bring this world-class terrain and tubing park to our community. Residents can ride where they reside, and have some fun outdoors this winter.”

Thanks to state-of-the-art snow-making equipment, the park is fully operational for all of their winter activities. Alpine Hills is open Saturday and Sunday (and any time school is out) from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m., and on weekdays (Wednesday-Friday) from 4 to 8 p.m.
