City to replace police cars with SUVs

By Jim Hagerty Reporter

ROCKFORD – Rockford aldermen, on Monday, approved the purchase of 28 city police squads, including 11 unmarked vehicles.

The majority of the financed vehicles will be Ford Police Interceptor SUVs, which officials say are cheaper to own over the term of the initial five-year loan than pursuit sedans, which are predicted to be obsolete in coming years.

The 28 vehicles are valued at approximately $1.1 million. The city is financing 100 percent of the purchase price and will begin repaying the loan next January at a cost of $271,000 a year next January.

Chief Dan O’Shea said having SUVs instead of sedans will help in variety of ways, especially in winter. They are also roomier and will already have dashboard cameras.

For the remaining squads that do not have dash cams, the city will utilize a $200,000 grant from the Illinois Law Enforcement Training and Standards Board. About two-dozen squad cars currently have dash cams.

Some of the vehicles currently in the police fleet are more than 12 years old.

They include cars that were once standard squads but have since been passed down to staff who use them on a less-limited basis such as school resource officers.

Aldermen tabled a vote on the rest of the city’s fleet. Ald. Kevin Frost said he’d like to re-evaluate financing options on vehicles the city will need over the next four years.

“It’s (approximately) $20 million worth of assets we’re buying,” Frost said, referring to the entire package. “To me, as someone who served on the financial task force and tried to cut paper clips and cut color copying costs, this is a large spend.”

Frost added that he would like to see the city’s fleet tracked more efficiently to determine on an individual basis which cars could be repaired.

“I really don’t think we can afford to purchase and finance $20 million worth of vehicles over four years unless they all need to be replaced.”

In other business, Mayor Tom McNamara named Karl Franzen the city’s new community and economic development director.

“Karl joined the city in 2016 and has been taking on additional roles and responsibilities from the very beginning,” McNamara

said. “Several months ago, I appointed him business liaison for the entire city – making him the sole point person for anyone with questions or concerns about establishing or operating a business in Rockford.”

As business liaison, Franzen leads the Doing Business Task Force and facilitates the Business First collaboration between the city, Rock River Water Reclamation District, Winnebago County and the Small Business Development Center.

Prior to coming to City of Rockford, he worked as economic development coordinator for the Rockford Area Economic Development Council; research and legislative assistant for the Wisconsin State Assembly; and the director of workforce development at the Portage County Business Council Foundation in Stevens Point, Wisconsin. He holds a bachelor’s degree in international relations from the University of Wisconsin – Madison and a master’s degree in public administration from the University of Wisconsin – Oshkosh.

Franzen is currently the economic development coordinator. His new appointment is slated for approval by the City Council at the June 4 meeting. R.

J.L. Clark donates 2,900 commemorative Rockford Peaches tins provided

The International Women’s Baseball Center has announced that J. L. Clark is the Presenting In-Kind Sponsor for the Rockford Peaches 75th Anniversary for their donation of (2,900) commemorative Rockford Peaches 75th tins to be sold to benefit the IWBC. This collector tin will be available for $20 each during the Celebration May 30, June 1, 2 and 3; and will be sold exclusively at all events at the PeachDIVA/Official Bicentennial Merchandise booth.

A similar tin was produced in 1992 after the movie A League of Their Own came out as a means to help pay for renovations to Beyer Stadium. A tin from 1992 signed by Dottie Key, a star player for the Peaches, has since listed for $200 on Ebay.

J. L. Clark has been doing custom metal decorating of tin packaging since 1904.

Another commemorative item, this time an 11 x 17 giclee print celebrating the 75th Anniversary of the Rockford Peaches by New Jersey artist, Mary Shelffo, will be available for purchase at $50 each. This limited edition of (50) numbered prints will also be sold through the PeachDIVA booth at all events over the Celebration.

Print #2/50 signed by the artist will be up for silent auction through the Celebration.

Images for the original artwork were taken from actual photos, program covers and newspaper ads of the period. A photo legend included with the giclee print outline the significance of the images to the story of the Rockford Peaches in 1943 as the beloved “Girls of Summer”.

EPA blocks some media from summit, then reverses course

By David Bauder AP Media Writer

NEW YORK (AP) — A reporter for The Associated Press was grabbed by the shoulders and shoved out of an Environmental Protection Agency building by a security guard Tuesday for trying to cover a meeting on water contaminants in which some reporters were welcomed and others were not.

An aide to EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt later called to apologize to AP reporter Ellen Knickmeyer and said the incident is being looked into. Knickmeyer, who said she was not hurt, was later let into the meeting when the EPA reversed course and opened it to all reporters.

Representatives from CNN and E&E News, which covers energy and environment issues, were also initially barred from the meeting.

Even for an administration with a contentious relationship with the press and a president who has put the phrase “fake news” into the lexicon, Tuesday’s events were unusual.

Pruitt had convened what he called a national summit on dangerous chemicals that have been found in some water systems. Some 200 people attended, including representatives of states, tribes and the chemical industry and environmentalists.

Pruitt’s remarks at the meeting were listed on his public schedule and described as being open to the press on a federal daybook of events.

Knickmeyer said she called about the event on Monday and was told by EPA spokesman Jahan Wilcox that it was invitation-only and there was no room for her.

She said she showed up anyway, and was told by a security guard that she couldn’t enter. She said she asked to speak to a representative from the press office, was refused and told to get out. Photos of the event showed several empty seats.

After security told her that “we can make you get out,” Knickmeyer said she took out her phone to record what was happening.

Some of the security guards reached for it, and a woman grabbed her shoulders from

behind and pushed her about five feet out the door.

Wilcox did not immediately respond to messages about the incident.

Reporters from other organizations, including Politico, were allowed in. Inside the event, there were seats reserved for Politico, the Wall Street Journal, The Washington Post, Bloomberg News, the Daily Caller, the Hill, MLive and NJ Advance Media.

Although Knickmeyer has only recently begun covering the embattled Pruitt and the EPA, the EPA had publicly criticized AP reporter Michael Biesecker for a story he co-wrote noting that the AP had surveyed toxic waste sites in the Houston area flooded by Hurricane Harvey when the EPA had said these sites were inaccessible. The EPA called it “yellow journalism;” the AP objected at the time and said it stood by the reporting.

CNN, a frequent target of criticism by President Donald Trump, said the EPA had not responded to its queries about the meeting on Monday. Reporter Rene Marsh, a producer and a photographer showed up to cover the meeting anyway and when the photographer attempted to enter, Wilcox came to the entrance and provided security with a list of reporters who were allowed.

CNN was asked to leave. Marsh later tried to enter through a different entrance and was turned away.

Similarly, reporter Corbin Hiar of E&E News was denied entrance for the morning session.

News organizations decried the ban.

“The Environmental Protection Agency’s

selective barring of news organizations, including the AP, from covering today’s meeting is alarming and a direct threat to the public’s right to know about what is happening inside their government,” said AP Executive Editor Sally Buzbee.

CNN said in a statement that “we understand the importance of an open and free press and we hope the EPA does, too.”

After the story began spreading, Knickmeyer said she received a call from Lincoln Ferguson, an adviser to Pruitt. He apologized for how she was manhandled and said officials were looking into it.

He invited her and other reporters back for the summit’s afternoon session.

Ironically, the EPA had initially planned to allow reporters in only for Pruitt’s remarks, yet after the access issue was raised, later sessions were opened to the press. CNN and E&E News attended the afternoon session, too.

Lauren Easton, spokeswoman for the AP, said the news organization was pleased that the EPA had reconsidered its position.

Asked about the incident, White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said the administration was looking into the incident. She pushed back on a question about whether there are any instances where the White House believed it was appropriate to physically handle a reporter.

“I’m not going to weigh in to random hypotheticals that may or may not exist,” she said. “I don’t know any information about this specific incident. You’re asking me to speak to a blanket possibility, which I’m not going to do.”

Rockford Christian senior draws portraits of fellow graduates

By Jim Hagerty Reporter

ROCKFORD – What began as a simple sketch turned into a more than threemonth art project for a local high school senior.

And it wasn’t an ordinary project. After drawing a portrait of a friend, Bridget Heffner drew another student. Then another; she then decided to sketch the entire Rockford Christian 2018 graduating class, all 135 of them.

What made the project even more special for Bridget is the drawings were not part of an assignment. She loves art, plans to major in it and wanted to do something to memorialize her class.

Only a handful of students knew about the portraits, and neither they or Bridget

had trouble keeping the project a secret.

Bridget used social-media photos and those from last year’s yearbook to complete each sketch. As an artist who’s done a number of drawings, it seemed routine when he displayed the them in the hall before school started last Friday morning.

“I really didn’t think it was that special (at first),” she said. “But, everyone else thought it was. A lot of the teachers and students were crowded around the portraits. A lot of them were shocked and a few even teared up.”

Heffner said once she decided to draw each class member, it was bit of a race against time. To unveil the project ahead of Rockford Christian’s graduation ceremony, she completed between three and five black-and-white portraits every night in

addition to her homework.

“We’re so proud,” father, Rick Heffner, said. For the past three months, she’d come home from school or work or stay home on a Friday and Saturday night and go to her art area and draw.”

Bridget will attend Rock Valley College this fall to complete her general education credits before enrolling in art school. As for the portraits, they’ll be given to each student as mementos as they begin the next chapter of their lives.

“I hope they can keep them and cherish them,” she said.

Rockford Christian Schools graduation ceremony is Tuesday, May 29, at Heartland Community Church. R.

State Bicentennial

World War II caused dramatic changes to Illinois’ way of life and economy.

By Andy Kravetz Of the Journal Star

Washington, Illinois, resident Mary Kerr said the war caused everyone to sacrifice.

“When we went into Iraq in 2001, there was no difference in my life because we went to war. But then, everyone was affected; from Victory Gardens to rationing of items to the draft, everyone was in,” she said.

Mothers saved tin cans and foil. Life went on, she said, but it was different.

“We went on with the churches and the schools, but it wasn’t the same. The Boy Scouts went on but they had paper drives,” Kerr said. “Nothing was the same as it was before Dec. 7, 1941, Pearl Harbor.”

Thousands enlisted from Illinois

When war was declared in December 1941, thousands of men enlisted and thousands more came through the state either en route to or arriving at training stations.

The U.S. Naval Station Great Lakes had opened prior to World War I as a recruit training center, but by the early 1930s enrollment had slowed. World War II boosted the population at the station from 6,000 to 68,000, according to the Navy. In all, about 1 million sailors trained at the facility in North Chicago until the war ended in 1945.

Thousands of others, including many World War I veterans, flocked to the Illinois State Militia, also known as the Reserve Militia, where they agreed to serve for two years. They stood watch over bridges, railroads and other transit centers. When the war ended, hundreds were activated to serve as shuttle drivers in Chicago as the large number of GIs returning overwhelmed buses and trains, according the Illinois Secretary of State’s office.

By the end of 1945, Illinois had registered 1,954,674 men between the ages of 18 and 38 at 361 separate local draft boards. Of these, 629,516 were called to serve. An additional 328,338 enlisted of their own accord bringing the total number of men from Illinois entering the services to 957,854.

The number of Illinois women joining the military during the war was 13,587.

Counting those who already were in the military and those whose National Guard units were activated, Illinois supplied the U.S. armed forces with nearly 1 million of its citizens during the course of the war.

From Dec. 7, 1941, through Sept. 2, 1945, 17,521 Illinois servicemen and women were killed in combat or later died of wounds or injuries sustained in battle.

Caterpillar’s role

In Peoria, production of earth-moving equipment made by Caterpillar Inc. had already picked up in pace due to the federal Lend-Lease program, supplying goods and war material to Allied countries. Caterpillar tractors were already being used by the Allies in the early stages of World War II, according to Journal Star archives. But once the United States entered the war, production escalated. Bulldozers were vital to the war effort as they allowed creation of air fields and the cleanup of debris after battle.

Central Illinois factories geared up for greater production when the United States entered the war. The Defense Department initially asked for a variety of equipment from Caterpillar, including smaller items such as transmissions for tanks and undercarriages for howitzers.

Then, according to a Caterpillar historian, the Defense Department decreed for production to switch exclusively to motor graders and track-type tractors on a large scale.

Tom Emery, a freelance writer from Carlinville, said the state’s economy was booming during the war. Factories were humming with wartime activity.

“The industrial cities were cranking out products that were war related,” Emery said.

Many blacks moved to Illinois during the war, particularly to Chicago for jobs.

And female employment grew by 50 percent.

Rosie the Riveter

One of those Rosie the Riveters was Ruth Lockart, who recently participated in the oral history project at the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library.

The project was to reach out to World War II veterans and those who grew up during that time.

Lockart worked as a riveter at the Howard Aircraft Corp. in Chicago. When America went to war, she was on the family farm in Paris but she wanted to get involved in the war effort and moved to Chicago where her sister lived. She trained as a riveter at the American Aircraft Institute and later went to the Howard Aircraft Corp. where she helped to construct a Navy training plane.

“I think there were different models but I don’t know too much about them. The one I worked on was the Nightengale,” Lockart said. “We’d go to the factory at 8 a.m. and then we’d be off at 5 in the evening. We’d take a streetcar to the factory.”

Chicago, she said, was different then than now, saying it felt like a small town when she lived there.

“I have always been proud that I was a Rosie the Riveter,” Lockart said. After the war, she went to beauty school in Paris and married a soldier who fought in the European Theater.

POW camps

Illinois was the home to several prisoner of war camps including one in Washington, a few miles outside of Peoria.

From 1944 to 1945, the village was the site of a small POW camp. The camp started with 50 German prisoners who helped make K-rations for the troops.

The camp expanded over the months to have more than 200 POWs, according to a book published by Mary Kerr about the Washington camp.

Kerr is working on another book about central Illinois during World War II, and including a chapter on a POW camp in the center of Eureka.

“Many people didn’t have contact with the prisoners and didn’t know if they were ‘good or bad,’” Kerr said. “But if you had contact with them, you probably went away thinking that they were OK.” The kids were very intrigued by the POWs, she said, noting that many would ride their bikes to the camp and talk to prisoners.

Looking at the advancements in flying boats

By Allen Penticoff Columnist

This week I’ll be expounding on flying boats. Not the kind of flying boats that are water-based airplanes like the old four-engine Pan Am Clippers that pioneered trans-Pacific air travel, but rather the new generation of boats with wings that lift their hulls clear of the water for a smoother ride and greater efficiency.

Powered boats have long had a hard time with being green. Water is nearly 800 times denser than air, making movement through it or on it require a great deal of energy to attain even modest speeds. The MPG of power boats is terrible (2-3 mpg is common). Bigger “yachts” measure fuel consumption in gallons per mile rather than miles per gallon. To travel any distance, power boats must rely on large fuel tanks – which in turn weigh them down and make them even less efficient.

The shape of the hull (body) of the boat is a big factor in boat efficiency as well - a complicated topic of its own. As simply as I can state it, there are two types of boat design: displacement hulls that cannot get on top of the water and must push through it at all times, and planing hulls that are powerful enough and light enough to lift up and skim on top of the water – this is your typical ski boat.

However, a third, less common type of boat is the hydrofoil. Hydrofoil designs have been around since Italian inventor Enrico Forlanini conceived of and patented the idea for hydrofoils in 1898. Forlanini’s idea

captivated telephone inventor Alexander Graham Bell, who had Forlanini’s design built in 1906 – proving the design viable by flying above the water – even taking Forlanini for a ride in it. Bell would build a more powerful boat in 1919, the HD-4, that set a water speed record of 71 mph which stood for 20 years. Many hydrofoils both large and small have been built, but few ever have been put into series production.

Despite all these years of development only recently has the cost of energy and awareness of the environmental impact of boating caused marine architects to delve deep into the possibilities of using hydrofoils in conjunction with electric drive.

Carbon fiber technology has also aided in making curved foils that are simpler, more efficient, strong and lightweight.

Hydrofoils, or as usually referenced in marine publications “foils,” are thin tiny wings like an airplane that can partially or fully lift a boat’s draggy hull out of the water. Since water is so much denser than air, these foils are very small relative to the size of the boat they are lifting compared to the big wings of an airplane. One of the reasons they have not seen more widespread use is controlling the boat and the lift of the foils while underway. Due to modern high-speed electronics, the foils can be better controlled in more situations than mechanical control systems. A foilborne boat starts out floating like a regular boat, but at a relatively low speed begins to lift until the hull may be out of the water completely and flying smoothly above the

waves. The drag of the foils is 40 percent less than that of the hull and thus greater speed may be attained or use of less power for a given speed can be had. Foils do have inherent hydrodynamic limitations to the top speed attainable though – which is about 69 mph.

Advances in powerful batteries and small electric motors have made hydrofoils the route to go in seeking green water transportation. European city streets are often clogged with traffic. Many cities such as Amsterdam, London, San Francisco and Paris have waterways running through them. But high-speed boats cause damaging wakes and disrupt other boat traffic.

With hydrofoils there is practically no wake. Seeing potential for speedy in-city river transportation, a French company, Sea Bubbles, is designing a pure electric foilboat that will quickly take passengers from one point to another on the river Seine.

Each time the boat would come to the dock, it would recharge with a renewable energy source. The first water-taxi design (that looks more like a futuristic car than a boat) can carry only four passengers plus the driver; however, they expect they can scale this up to a 60-passenger ferry. They also are working on a “wave-piercing” hull (like it sounds, but not foiling) of 110-passenger capacity that is electric drive, with 14-hours of operating time at 6.5 knots of speed.

Autonomous operation is being looked at for these boats and a Uber-like customer response system. All of which must be designed.

One of the advantages of electric drive, besides being quiet and pollution free – is that they can be submerged deep down with the foils further reducing drag. In some design applications, hybrid power is using smaller batteries for go-slow operations while using diesel engines to power generators while operating at high foil-borne speeds. This is still a big leap (20 percent) in fuel efficiency for boats and is a very worthwhile pursuit.

Even sailboats have benefited from the use of hydrofoils. Witness the rise of the giant foil-borne catamarans now used in the America’s Cup racing series. These wind-powered boats reach speeds of 30 knots and are so speedy that the crew must wear helmets in the event of a crash – which they are prone to if they lose their balance while up on the foils.

Messing about in boats is always a pleasurable thing to do. I’ll be sticking to sailing and kayaking mostly, both of which are relatively green, but I would enjoy a ride in a foil-borne boat whether wind or electric powered. I think it would be a blast and look forward to that day – perhaps revisiting Paris for a ride in a Sea Bubble “no pollution – no waves” water taxi.

voices from the grave

The Liberty of Others

By Paula Hendrickson Contributor

The Spanish American War has been referred to as the “forgotten war” but for the families of the men who died during that time, it can never be forgotten.

The war took a heavy toll on Winnebago County. It took some of our best and brightest boys. Most of them didn’t die on the battle field. In fact, only one man from here died of injuries received during battle.

The others were taken down by diseases that were running rampant in the camps.

The first man from our county to die in the war didn’t even make it to Puerto Rico.

He fell ill during training. Charles Almond was only twenty five when he enlisted to join the fight. He still lived at home with his parents, mostly to help take care of his beloved mother. Charles worked at the Ulriel Box Company for over twelve years by the time the call came for men to fight. It was early spring in 1898.

Everyone who knew Charles spoke of his kindness and care he showed for anyone who needed help. He graduated from high school and joined the Rockford Greys, a local military group. Charles was in the Greys for over five years by 1898 and had worked his way up the ranks to First Lieutenant.

Charles marched away to training camp in Chattanooga full of promise. But within weeks, he grew ill like so many of the men.

The hospital ward was so full that there were not enough beds to go around. When Charles saw a younger man who was very ill carried in and put on the floor, he told the orderlies to place the boy in his bed. Charles slept on the floor with only a thin blanket.

When Charles fever spiked dangerously high, he became confused and delirious.

He kept telling the nurses and doctors that

he just wanted to go back to his regiment to be with his men. They decided to place a guard by his bed to make sure he didn’t hurt himself. Private William Severson was assigned to watch over the very ill Charles.

But Severson was exhausted and ill himself and he fell asleep. Charles wandered out into the chilly night air and in his weakened state, it proved too much for the young man.

Forty two men under the command of Lieutenant W.H. Sarver from Illinois Company H traveled from Rockford to Chattanooga to accompany Charles Almond’s body home. They attended a funeral held in the livery barn of the camp before loading Charles’ body on a train.

When the train arrived in Rockford, it was met by 20,000 people at the Illinois Central Depot. The people lined up in a procession that went from the train depot to the Church.

Charles was only 25 years old. Though Charles was denied a death during battle, Rockford still honored this fallen soldier and the others that followed.

Six other men from our county died during that short war. One, Herman Huffman was the only Rockford man to die of injuries that he received during a battle. He was shot on August 6, 1898 while on duty at Arroyo, Puerto Rico. It was an ambush that occurred while he was on a picket line during heavy fighting at Guayama. Herman would linger for a few days while all of Rockford prayed for his recovery. But the sad news came by telegram. Herman was buried in a national cemetery in Arroyo.

Another young man who was killed in the war had a name more familiar to those in Rockford. William A. Talcott Junior was considered one of our golden boys. His

family settled this area early in Rockford’s history. William grew up here, graduated Amherst College and then turned his sights toward law. He graduated from Harvard Law School in 1897 and moved to New York City when offered a position in a law office there. William made it all the way through the war and proved himself to be a leader in every way. He was First Lieutenant during the famous charge up San Juan Hill serving under Colonel Dow. When the call came to charge the hill, Dow froze and refused to give the order to his men to fight. Some of the men, including William, knew that they could be seen as defying orders but they charged ahead anyway and helped take the hill.

William was returning from that campaign to Camp Wykoff, Long Island when he fell ill with malaria and dysentery.

His parents were at a resort a short distance away when they received the news. His father rushed to William’s side to bring him back for treatment. But because of the quarantine, he was held for eleven days.

His father never left his side during that time and would speak later of the feeling of utter helplessness he experienced as he watched his son weaken. William lived

long enough to hear that he had gotten the promotion to Second Lieutenant and to see his mother again. He died at Watch Hill in Rhode Island.

His devastated parents brought him home to be buried in the family plot at Greenwood Cemetery where the newspapers stated that his death “cast a gloom over the whole city.”

The other men that were mentioned in the Morning Star article from November 12, 1898 edition were Private Burt Lindell, Private Rinus Nelson, Corporal Luman B. Lillie, and Sergeant Harry Potter. The paper called them the Forest City Boys. All of these men are honored on a plaque at the Veterans Memorial Hall in downtown Rockford.

RACVB View

United States Quad Rugby Association National Championships Come to Rockford Rockford Park District

Oscar Mike Foundation, Rockford Area Convention & Visitors Bureau (RACVB), and the Rockford Park District (RPD) announced on May 18 that the United States Quad Rugby Association (USQRA) National Championship will be held in Rockford for the first time. The three organizations have been working together to secure the bid for the multi-year championship tournament, which will take place in 2019, 2020, and 2021. The bid was awarded to Rockford during the 2018 championships in Phoenix, AZ. In 2019, the tournament will take place March 28, 2019 through March 31, 2019 at UW Health Sports Factory, 305 S. Madison Street, Rockford.

“The UW Health Sports Factory was designed with adaptive sports in mind, and is ready to welcome all athletes,” said John Groh, RACVB President/CEO. “Our RACVB team is proud to welcome this new client to the Rockford region, and looks forward to the next three years, and a long-term relationship beyond that. I know our region’s hospitality partners, including the great team at the Rockford Park District, will work together to ensure our guests have an amazing experience as they visit our community.”

The United States Quad Rugby Association National Championship is the largest co-ed wheelchair rugby tournament in the United States, and consists of 36 games taking place over three days. The best 18 teams in the country will come to Rockford to compete and determine who will be crowned National Champion. Marengo, IL-based Oscar Mike Foundation will not only host the tournament, but will also compete, and is the first team in USQRA history that is 100% comprised of military veterans.

“Our rugby team, Oscar Mike Militia, is thrilled to be a part of this big win for our

Representatives from Rockford Area CVB, Rockford Park District, City of Rockford and Oscar Mike community and represent Rockford. We normally travel far and wide to compete, so we are excited to show off Rockford and this amazing facility to other teams. To host such a massive tournament, we will certainly be seeking support, as sponsors and volunteers will be critical to the success of this three-year deal,” said Rick Kolberg, of the Oscar Mike Foundation.

Oscar Mike Foundation will also hold a wheelchair rugby clinic Friday, May 18 to Sunday, May 20, 2018 at UW Health Sports Factory.

Wheelchair rugby is one of the fastest growing sports in the world today, and offers players the chance to stay active. To participate in this adapted sport, players must have a combination of upper and lower extremity impairment to be considered eligible. “I had the opportunity to volunteer for the USQRA tournament held in Phoenix earlier this year along with a team member from RACVB, and we got to

know more about the sport and the intensity of the game. It’s amazing to watch, and we are proud of the connections we made and information we were able to share about UW Health Sports Factory. Everyone left a big impression on us, and I can’t wait to welcome these athletes to town,” said Derek Papich, UW Health Sports Factory program supervisor.

Growing tomatoes in the Garden

By Grant McCarty Contributor

In the last couple of weeks, you’ve probably planted your tomatoes.

Tomatoes are a crop that typically are planted in our area after Mother’s Day but some years the evening temperatures are still too low. When air temperatures dip below 40 F, the tomato plant can sustain some damage. Tomatoes are one of those quintessential summer crops; but they can sometimes be a nuisance to grow based on their diseases, insects, and management. As you plant your tomatoes, there are a couple of beginning management practices you need to consider.

When you transplant tomatoes, you should fertilize them. A 10-10-10 or other fertilizers can provide the transplants the nutrients that they need.

As tomatoes begin to grow, you’ll also notice a “sucker” in between the first main stem of your plant. If you are growing heirloom tomatoes, this sucker should be removed below the first flower cluster as its taking away energy from the plant. To know which sucker to remove, you need to wait until the plant flowers. Determinate tomatoes, those that reach a set height, do not need to have the sucker

removed. Your plant tag will say if it is determinate or not.

Tomato plants benefit greatly from mulches. Straw, plastic, and other mulches can keep moisture in and allow for the plant to thrive.

Fluctuations in soil moisture can lead to Blossom End Rot which can be combated by using mulch. Mulches can also be used to keep water from splashing up on the tomato leaves and spreading disease.

Tomatoes need to be trellised and trellising systems vary greatly. Some people will grow tomatoes with a tomato cage. Others insist on staking tomatoes each season and using string/wire. Some growers will set up their own permanent trellis system.

Whichever you decide, think about what is going to work best for you. If you are planting a determinate tomato plant, a tomato cage may be your best solution. If you are planting numerous heirloom tomatoes in a row, you might consider staking and trellising them.

It all depends on what type and how many you are planting. R. Grant McCarty is the Local Food and Smalls Farms Educator of the University of Illinois Extension. His tips and tricks for local eating and your at-home garden appear every week in The Rock River Times.

IV Technologies Inc. NRO PD T 0118 5327 E

By Drs. Robert & Sonia Vogl Contributors

The title for this article is a variation on one used in a recent presentation by Nate Hagens at the Land Institute in Salina, Kansas, titled “Where are we going?” His presence there this spring is somewhat ironic in that while we have tried unsuccessfully for several years to persuade him to make a presentation at our annual Renewable Energy and Sustainable Lifestyle Fair, the new director of the Institute, Jim Lutzi, will make a major presentation at this year’s fair on August 11 at a new site, the Byron Forest Preserve.

Hagens has a unique background as he was a Wall Street stock trader who left to focus on environmental concerns and simplify his life. In his Kansas presentation he indicated we are living through a Carbon Pulse. He believes we are headed for a world with less total consumption and suggests our lives can still be good after our basic needs are meet.

With 98 percent of the physical labor in the modern world done by machines powered 85 percent by fossil fuels, as their costs rise and the amount of energy used to process them increases, there will be less money available to fund other aspects of modern life. The energy consumed beyond meeting our basic needs is 80 times greater than the energy we consume as food. Considering such excessive levels of energy use it remains possible to live well on less energy.

He framed his presentation around the expectations of most governments and institutions for a 3 percent annual increase in the rate of global economic growth which has doubled world consumption of energy and minerals

since the beginning of the industrial revolution. Such an expansion of economic growth adversely impacts the health of the planet and human well being which he believes is not sustainable.

All of the accumulated wealth and productivity for Hagens was and is dependent on energy which we measure in dollars. Unfortunately, our market system internalizes the profits and externalizes the costs in which the environment and the public suffer the adverse consequences of market transactions. The process has worked well in raising the standard of living for many but not all people, but the growing extent of environmental damage suggests more of the costs leading to climate change and other adverse impacts must be incorporated into the economic system.

He sees the remainder of this century as a time in which we will face economic decisions based on a range of what is best for economic growth through what is best for ecosystems and human well being.

While supporting growth in renewable energy and encouraging people to support it, he calls for an even broader effort at curbing ecological damage from economic growth and ongoing increases in human population. He also recommends increasing human labor to replace the role of carbon in our lives.

As others have suggested we need to develop a low-tech society based on renewable energy sources and develop skills supporting such a society. With the substantial incentives supporting solar energy available in Illinois the time to go solar is now. R.

TAURUS

You’ll accomplish something that will boost your self-esteem and help you discover a hidden talent you’d never have expected. Your family will cause you undue stress.

You’ll spend most of the week at home for one reason or another. You may even decide to move out on a whim. At the very least, you’ll finally get around to painting that wall.

CANCER

You’ll be uncharacteristically outspoken this week. Be careful: you may find yourself having a hard time keeping someone’s secret. Whatever you do, don’t let it slip.

LEO

The time is right to start seriously considering moving forward with a real estate transaction. A closer look at your finances will reveal a surprise.

Assistant Director M of Nursing THERE IS A NEED FOR NEW PHYSICAL THERAPY EQUIPMENT

ILESTONE’s mission is to help each Individual reach their fullest potential and live as full a life as possible. Our Interdisciplinary team includes both physical and occupational therapists and a PT/OT program is designed for each Individual to meet their needs.

Many times rehabilitation therapy is needed after an extended hospital stay, and can keep a person ambulatory. Chris’ family gained first hand knowledge about the difference a strong PT/OT department can make after she returned to MILESTONE after an extended hospital stay.

Before she had to go to the hospital Chris was able to walk, but after a month of being mostly bedridden she returned to Milestone non-ambulatory. With guidance, work, time and care from the PT/OT team, she was able to regain the ability to walk with the same level of assistance as before she entered the hospital. Jill Morgan, MILESTONE’s PT/OT coordinator, says, keeping our individuals ambulatory and mobile for as long as possible is entirely essential to their overall health. Weight bearing stimulates bone strength, range of motion exercises, active or passive promotes circulation, stimulates the bowels and keeps their joints fluid and the 1 on 1 attention gives them comfort and stability.

Without PT and OT our individuals health would deteriorate at a more rapid rate, according to Morgan, who adds, osteoporosis, constipation and contracture of muscles and fusion of bones would occur more rapidly and more quickly interfere with our ability to care for them. Their quality of life would seriously decline.

Providing and supporting what limited mobility many of our individuals have is truly as vital and valuable as any treatment or medication. But in order to do this equipment is needed, everything from walkers, to air pressure and orthotic splints, custom molded shoes, versiform cushions and walking belts. There is currently a need for standers, along with gravity, the standers help stimulate bone growth and helps maintain bone strength. The straightening and stretching of the leg mucsles and tendons also help an Individual maintain lower extremity mobility allowing for better personal care and aiding in the potential for ambulation. The change in perspective (going from sitting to standing) stimulates brain activity, and visual motor and proprioceptual skills.

Our current standers are over 20 years old and we need additional ones. Please call the Resource Development Department at (815) 639-2965 if you would like information about making a donation for this program.

Rock Valley College softball team wins fifth national title

By Jim Hagerty Reporter

ROCHESTER, Minn. – Although the Rock Valley College softball program was a bona fide dynasty going into this year’s national championship game, that point was made even clearer last Saturday when the Golden Eagles knocked off Herkimer (New York) 6-2 to capture their fifth-straight NJCAA title.

The fifth championship was far from quick work, however. Hermiker clipped RVC 2-1 in Friday’s semifinal round. They battled back and met the Generals in Saturday’s final to become the only NJCAA Division III school to win five consecutive national championships.

Annaka Bartz (3-4, RBI, 2 R) put Rock Valley on the board with a solo home run in the first inning, but the Golden Eagles ended up trailing 2-1 through four. They then exploded for five runs in the fifth inning. The effort helped pitcher Jordan Hall’s cause. She came in and shut Herkimer down with three hitless innings, to ice the contest and grab tournament MVP honors.

Extending yourself: examining extension conditions for Eddie Goldman and Adrian Amos

By Robert Zeglinski Contributor

Every NFL general manager goes into a draft with a mission of finding core players, depth, and competition. Every prospect picked should be selected with the ideal of becoming a productive long term player with your organization, despite the hit-or-miss variance between rounds.

Since it’s early in Bears’ GM Ryan Pace’s tenure, we’ve yet to circle back on most of his classes. But entering the fourth year means discussions concerning his 2015 draft comes to the forefront. 2015 was when Pace joined the Bears, and while it’s not considered his leading haul, it did see two competent starters added to Chicago’s foundation. Even with the declined fifth-year option of first rounder Kevin White, the Bears managed to find some diamonds Those two starters are second rounder Eddie Goldman, the Bears’ anchor of their defense. And Adrian Amos, a gem of a fifth rounder as a hard-hitting in-thebox safety. Decisions on extending either before they’re out-priced this summer and in the coming fall, or whether the Bears feel they can set a replacement plan, loom.

Let’s unpack the individual circumstances of the Bears bringing Goldman and Amos back long term.

Eddie Goldman, NT

Age: 24-years-old Career statistics: 55 tackles, 8.5 sacks (three seasons) Quotable: “It’s my fourth year and I’m still one of the youngest in the room,” Goldman to The Athletic Chicago At 24, Goldman is one of the younger and more underrated point-of-attack defensive lineman in the NFL. Statistics don’t tell the whole story, as while he isn’t Aaron Donald - a pass rushing terror nor is he apt to that play, he has entirely different responsibilities.

More than any other player on the Bears’ defense, Goldman’s job is to occupy space. Now, that sounds straightforward, but as a two-gap interior defender it’s not easy: especially when you’re taking on double teams from interior offensive linemen. The 6-foot-4 and 320 pounder is more proficient at this skill set than most give him credit for.

Goldman is the key cog in the middle of Chicago’s defense that allows linebackers like Danny Trevathan to roam free and create space for tackles. His disruption and push up the pocket to occupy blockers’ attention gives Akiem Hicks ample

Eddie Goldman, Photo Courtesy Chicago Bears room as a pass rusher. He’s the engine that makes defensive coordinator Vic Fangio’s unit go. Without him, the scheme falls apart. His absence is not only the most underrated, but most noticeable.

In 36 career appearances (32 starts) how successful Goldman’s presence is for the Bears is extremely prevalent. With Goldman on the field, the Bears have averaged allowing 109 rushing yards a game: around 12th to 13th for team defensive totals in 2017. With Goldman not available, the Bears have averaged allowing 135 rushing yards a game. That would’ve been the worst rushing defense in the league last year, fourth-worst in 2016, and also the worst in 2015. Goldman is the divergence between an average and abhorrent defense.

There isn’t a precedent for defensive tackles that don’t get sacks to be the absolute highest paid for the position, but they’re still valued tremendously.

Based on skill set and most recent extensions, the players Goldman most fairly compares to among the top 10 interior defensive line contracts are the Vikings’ Linval Joseph (ninth-largest contract signed last fall, $12 million per year, $31.5 million guaranteed), and Eagles’ Timmy Jernigan (10th-largest contract also signed last fall, $12 million per year, $24 million guaranteed).

Joseph is considered one of the premier defensive tackles in football, while Jernigan was set to be an incremental piece for the Eagles’ defending Super Bowl Champion defense before a back injury this off-season. Since both signed four-year extensions at 29 and 25-yearsold, respectively, there’s only a small chance Goldman accepts any less term,

money per year, or guarantees. In fact, he’ll assuredly take slightly more than Jernigan.

Given Goldman’s importance to the Bears’ core as one of the youngest players on the roster (the fourth-year pro is the same age as second-year safety Eddie Jackson), Chicago would do well not to lowball the nose tackle. He is priority No. 1. Expect a deal in the realm of four years, $48 million total, with around $28 million guaranteed by the conclusion of summer 2018.

Adrian Amos, S

Age: 25-years-old Career statistics: 171 tackles, 10 passes defensed, three forced fumbles, one interception, one sack (three seasons) Quotable: “Either way, in my eyes, I have to play through this year and prove myself,” Amos to WGN Amos’ career trajectory with the Bears has been fascinating. After being seen as a bright spot and building block as a rookie in 2015, he had one of the worst seasons in coverage for any Bears defender in recent memory in 2016. It was enough for him, as many neglect to forget about the Pro Football Focus darling slash All-Pro last year, to not be a starter immediately in 2017.

If not for a broken arm of veteran safety Quintin Demps suffered in Week 3, Amos takes more time to get on the field, and has less than his 13 starts. Injury happen stance is as much to do with him having his rebound season, as for actually breaking back out.

Nevertheless when he did play, Amos showed obvious signs of improvement as a defender that doesn’t make mistakes.

A hybrid linebacker of sorts, there aren’t many safeties that are as sure tacklers as him. From sideline to sideline, Amos is an exemplary extra safety in the box.

That type of player does have credence with an organization. How much is a large contrast.

Amos can play in this hybrid linebacking role because of the free range of Eddie Jackson: someone that takes on more coverage responsibilities on the back end.

The duo complements each other better than most other safety combinations in the NFL. There’s no doubting that due to his ability to force turnovers and make plays on the ball in the air, Jackson is far more instrumental to the Bears’ defense.

In one season, Jackson forced five turnovers, with two interceptions. In three seasons, Amos has four turnovers total. It took until his 32nd start against the Ravens last year to finally get an interception: on a tipped fluky pass he returned for a touchdown in an overtime victory.

Safeties like that, meaning those who are liabilities in pass coverage and don’t force turnovers, don’t get paid. Look at current and capable free agents such as former 49er Eric Reid (although he hasn’t been signed for reasons more than football), and former Saint Kenny Vaccaro. Both had more interceptions and productivity by the time they became free agents, and are in the same range of mid-20’s safeties looking for somewhere to latch on.

Who Amos best compares to in play style is the Ravens’ Tony Jefferson (ninth-largest contract signed last spring, $8.5 million per year, $34 million guaranteed). It’s debatable as to how valuable Jefferson was to Baltimore long term for a team that’s currently stuck in salary cap hell, however. The Ravens didn’t noticeably improve in either total passing or rushing defense with Jefferson in the fold from 2016 to 2017. As someone with a minimal three career interceptions in five seasons, he’s not someone that tilts the field for Baltimore. He just doesn’t make mistakes when he’s called upon, like Amos.

There’s the possibility that Amos showcases ability we haven’t seen yet, but at 25, he’s likely reached his ceiling and is who he is. The standing for improvement is there, but minimal. And in the end, the proficiency Amos offers is valuable, but ultimately replaceable and not conducive to the future of the Bears’ salary cap constraints. R. Robert is your guy for all things Bears.
