Chancery

Legal battle to save chancery continues By Jim Hagerty Reporter

ROCKFORD – The 90-year-old former chancery on the campus of Cathedral of St. Peter lived to see at least another three days after a Winnebago County judge on Tuesday extended a restraining order to protect it from the wrecking ball. Judge Donna Honzel’s order will remain in place until Friday, when she will hear arguments in a lawsuit brought against the city by a group of activists calling themselves Save Piety Hill and the Signal Hill Neighborhood Association. The complaint alleges that the Rockford City Council failed to follow its own historic preservation ordinance when it voted against landmarking the former chancery. “A non-home rule municipality may not ignore the recommendation of a body with expertise unless there is evidence the recommending body’s decision was factually flawed or inaccurate,” the complaint says. Tuesday’s ruling comes after Judge Lisa Fabiano issued the first temporary order that was set to expire at 5 p.m. The first order came just hours after city inspectors

Crime & Courts

stopped running heavy equipment from knocking down the chancery when they learned the contractors did not properly notify neighbors. The case saw even more twists last week as Fabiano granted lawyers Tom Lester and Rick Porter a motion to intervene, after they argued during the temporary restraining order hearing that their client has an interest in the case. Fabiano then recused herself. Lester and Porter represent the Diocese of Rockford, which owns the chancery, former convent and St. Peter’s Elementary School. The diocese wants to demolish the chancery and use the space for parking and a prayer garden. Plans for the remaining buildings have not been announced. The convent has been long vacant and the school will no longer be used after the 2018-19 academic year. Save Piety Hill’s lawyer, Adam Kingsley, of Chicago, argued that because Lester and Porter were not parties in the case when they spoke in the temporary restraining order hearing, they cannot ask for a new judge. Fabiano ruled over Kingsley’s objection, immediately sending things across

the hall to Honzel’s courtroom. There, Kingsley filed his own motion for a new judge. He withdrew it yesterday. Honzel will now decide whether the plaintiffs have legal standing to bring the complaint against the city. The suit claims the city council’s 7-6 vote against landmark status was arbitrary and capricious, and that aldermen were bound to follow the Historic Preservation Commission’s recommendation to make the chancery a historic property. The measure required 10 votes because the diocese objected to the landmark application. City Legal Director Nick Meyer claims city council followed procedure, noting that there is no state law requiring alderman to go along with the recommendation of a commission. The diocese claims it has authority to begin demolition because a permit has been issued – making it their property. If Honzel rules for the plaintiff, she would issue a preliminary injunction, which would halt demolition until the case concludes in court. A ruling in favor of the city could allow demolition to commence immediately.

Rockford man not guilty of killing toddler By Jim Hagerty Reporter

CHICAGO - The Rockford man accused of killing and dismembering a toddler in 2015 was acquitted last Thursday in a Cook County courtroom. Kamel Harris, 44, left the Cook County Jail after jurors took more than eight hours to find him not guilty of first-degree murder, concealment of a homicidal death, and dismemberment of a human body. He was accused of killing 2-year-old Kyrian Knox, whose body parts were found in the Garfield Park Lagoon on Chicago’s west side. The case was a horrific who-done-it, unfolding in August 2015, when Lanisha Knox dropped her son off at the apartment Harris shared with his girlfriend, Danyelle Foggs. Harris said Knox gave them $30 and some diapers and promised to return for the boy. Instead, Harris told police, a couple he did not know came and took the child but did not bring him back. Lanisha Knox was in court Thursday and wept loudly when the verdict was read. She walked out before the proceedings concluded. During the investigation, she told police she attempted to call and check on her son but was unable to speak to him. She said she was not aware he had been missing until Sept. 17, 2015, two weeks after his hands, feet and head were found. The

boy’s cause of death was undetermined. Harris was charged on Nov. 14, 2016, inside the Winnebago County Jail, where he was being held on a burglary charge. The state claimed he placed the boy’s body parts in plastic bags tied to barbells, and threw them into the lagoon. Police alleged that Harris told a third party that he dismembered the body, believing it would not be identified without the head. Kyrian was later identified through DNA. According to the state, while Kyrian was in Harris’ care, someone fed the lactose-intolerant boy milk, causing him to cry for an entire afternoon. Harris could not stand the crying, and “snapped,” prosecutors alleged. Kyrian was killed in Rockford, prosecutors said, but Harris was charged in Cook County because most of the evidence was found in Chicago. Prosecutors offered him a deal in February in which he would plead guilty to involuntary manslaughter in exchange for a seven-year prison sentence, minus three years he spent in jail awaiting trial. The deal was later taken off the table. “This is an innocent man,” Assistant Public Defender Kulmeet Galhotra told reporters outside the courtroom. “The guy who did this is still out there. Taking a plea was a calculation he made, because he thought he could do two more years, when the risk was doing the rest of his life

in prison if he was found guilty.” Harris testified Wednesday, telling the jury he was babysitting Kyrian and his grandson at his Rockford apartment while Lanisha Knox and his daughter were in Iowa looking for jobs. He said a man and woman showed up and said they were there to pick up Kyrian. Harris said the man handed him a cellphone and he spoke to a woman he believed was Lanisha, who he said he met only twice previously. He said he then turned the boy over to the couple and was surprised two weeks later when his daughter called and said she and Knox were coming to get the kids. Harris pleaded guilty in October 2016 to one count of battery of a government employee after he shoved an Illinois Department of Child and Family Services worker. In that case, prosecutors alleged that while police were investigating the Kyrian Knox killing, Foggs gave false information to authorities regarding a daughter she has with Harris because she feared the state would take the child. The charges against Foggs stemmed from a guardianship document she provided to DCFS that included an incorrect address of where the child was staying. The infant was located unharmed, and Foggs maintained she was unaware the address was wrong. She was later acquitted.

2020 preview? Feud between Trump and Biden ﬂares up BY STEVE PEOPLES AND ZEKE MILLER ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK (AP) – Democrats won’t pick their nominee for another year, but President Donald Trump and former Vice President Joe Biden are acting like the 2020 presidential contest is already a two-man race. Almost completely ignoring his 23 Democratic competitors , Biden has been laser-focused on Trump – particularly his embrace of racist rhetoric . But it has been Trump’s recent focus on Biden that has surprised both his allies and critics, who believe the Republican president may be unintentionally elevating someone whose candidacy is barely a month old. Trump’s adv isers have privately encouraged him to lay o� Biden. He has done the opposite, lobbing more public insults at the former vice president than any other Democrat over the month. Trump’s latest attack was perhaps his most brazen: During a state visit to Japan on Monday, he agreed with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un’s recent description of Biden as a “low-IQ individual.” A Biden campaign aide on Tuesday called the comments “beneath the dignity of the o�ce.” The campaign said it waited a day to respond out of respect for Memorial Day, a holiday that honors the service of military veterans. “To be on foreign soil, on Memorial Day, and to side repeatedly with a murderous dictator against a fellow American and former vice president speaks for itself,” said Biden deputy campaign manager Kate Bedingﬁeld. Democrats on the ground in key primary states report that the intensifying feud has strengthened Biden’s argument that he’s best positioned to take down Trump in 2020. For many voters, nothing matters more than electability. And with Trump’s help, Biden is dominating that debate. Regardless of the short-term political fallout, it’s becoming increasingly clear that Trump and his allies view Biden as their most formidable opponent. And the anti-Biden assault could become more organized and intense should Biden maintain his front-runner status in the coming months. “Trump seems to be obsessed with Biden, which suggests that he’s afraid of him,” said Gary Pearce, a longtime Democratic operative based in North Carolina. “Clearly, the reason Trump is going after Biden is because he’s perceived as the biggest threat,” Republican strategist Alice Stewart concurred. “From Biden’s standpoint, you couldn’t ask for a better

situation.” Trump’s attacks on Biden are not part of an organized strategy, according to three people familiar with the campaign’s thinking who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss internal matters. They described the situation as Trump tweeting and the campaign and the Republican National Committee working overtime to keep up – as evidenced by the delays in both entities in amplifying the president’s message. It’s consistent with Trump’s view of himself as his own political strategist, prioritizing his gut over the advice of aides. In recent weeks, the president has attacked Biden’s intelligence, his energy level, his history of unwanted touching, his record on criminal justice reform and his dedication to Pennsylvania. Trump told Pennsylvania voters during a rally last week that Biden “deserted” them. Biden, a native of Scranton, Pennsylvania, left the state as a child when his parents relocated for work. “I’ve never forgotten where I came from. My family did have to leave Pennsylvania when I was 10 – we moved to Delaware where my Dad found a job that could provide for our family,” Biden tweeted. “Trump doesn’t understand the struggles working folks go through.” But Trump went further on Monday when he swiped at the former vice president on foreign soil, choosing Kim’s side over Biden’s when asked about the North Korean leader’s description of the Democrat’s intelligence level. “I don’t take sides as to who I’m in favor or who I’m not,” Trump told reporters in Japan when asked whether he was favoring a violent dictator over the former vice president. “But I can tell you that Joe Biden was a disaster.” Trump added: “Kim Jong Un made a statement that Joe Biden is a low-IQ individual. He probably is, based on his record. I think I agree with him on that.” On Tuesday, Trump claimed that he “was actually sticking up” for Biden in Japan. He said that Kim had referred to Biden as a “low IQ idiot” and that he had “related the quote of Chairman Kim as a much softer ‘low IQ individual.’ “Who could possibly be upset with that?” the president tweeted. Trump’s swipes against Biden have been the subject of signiﬁcant internal debate in the halls of the West Wing and his reelection campaign. Several o�cials, including Trump’s senior adviser and son-in-law Jared Kushner, have expressed reservations that the president is helping Biden, whom

they view as his strongest opponent, according to the three people familiar with the campaign’s thinking. Trump may be highlighting Biden’s vulnerabilities for progressive voters, especially when it comes to his history on criminal justice issues. But in attacking the former vice president, some aides believe Trump risks turning Biden into a cause célèbre for Democratic voters who are most animated by their dislike of Trump. That could prove especially problematic if Biden proves most resistant to the Trump campaign’s entrenched strategy to paint all of Trump’s opponents as “socialists.” Biden’s blue-collar appeal in Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin poses the deepest threat to the president’s path to 270 electoral votes. Others in Trump’s orbit are less worried and believe Biden might be the easiest to beat of the Democratic field. “I happen to believe Biden would be the weakest of the general election candidates because he’ll be carrying 47 years of baggage and will have many of same vulnerabilities as (Hillary) Clinton,” said Trump’s 2016 senior communications adviser, Jason Miller. Billionaire Republican donor Doug Deason, who sits on the finance committee for the most powerful pro-Trump super PAC, cheered Trump’s approach. “Why is he going after Biden? Biden is leading in the polls. He can beat ‘em up,” Deason said. “I think he’s the only real legitimate contestant in the field. And I think it would be a shame for Democrats to end their race to the left and nominate him.” Still, few Biden supporters view the attention from the president as a bad thing. Biden’s campaign seized on Trump’s attacks in a Tuesday fundraising email titled “Donald Trump is scared.” “Over the last week, President Trump has repeatedly insulted Joe Biden – even going so far as to side with North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un. Why? It’s simple: Trump’s afraid he’s going to lose,” says the fundraising appeal. It adds: “Let’s use this opportunity to show Donald Trump he should be scared of our momentum.”

SEVERE WEATHER

1 dead, 130 injured as twisters rip through Ohio and Indiana BY ANGIE WANG AND JOHN MINCHILLO ASSOCIATED PRESS

BROOKVILLE, Ohio (AP) – A swarm of tornadoes so tightly packed that one may have crossed the path carved by another tore across Indiana and Ohio overnight, smashing homes, blowing out windows and ending the school year early for some students because of damage to buildings. One person was killed and at least 130 were injured. The storms were among 55 twisters that forecasters said may have touched down Monday across eight states stretching eastward from Idaho and Colorado. The past couple of weeks have seen unusually high tornado activity in the U.S., with no immediate end to the pattern in sight. The winds peeled away roofs – leaving homes looking like giant dollhouses – knocked houses o� their foundations, toppled trees, brought down power lines and churned up so much debris that it was visible on radar. Highway crews had to use snowplows to clear an Ohio interstate. Some of the heaviest damage was reported just outside Dayton, Ohio. “I just got down on all fours and covered my head with my hands,” said Francis Dutmers, who with his wife headed for the basement of their home in Vandalia, about 10 miles (16 kilometers) outside Dayton, when the storm hit with a “very loud roar” Monday night. The winds blew out windows around his house, ﬁlled rooms with debris and took down most of his trees. In Celina, Ohio, 82-year-old Melvin Dale Hanna was killed when a parked car was blown into his house, Mayor Je�rey Hazel said Tuesday. “There’s areas that truly look like a war zone,” he said. Of the injured, more than two dozen were admitted to hospitals. Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine declared a state of emergency in three hard-hit counties, allowing the state to suspend normal purchasing procedures and quickly provide supplies like water and generators. Storm reports posted online by the Nat iona l Weat her Ser v ice’s Storm Predict ion Center showed t hat 14 suspected tornadoes touched down in Indiana, 12 in Colorado and nine in Ohio. Seven were reported in Iowa, ﬁve in Nebraska, four in Illinois and three in Minnesota, with one in Idaho. Monday marked the record-tying 11th straight day with at least eight tornadoes in the U.S., said Patrick Marsh, a Storm Prediction Center meteorologist. The last

such stretch was in 1980. “We’re getting big counts on a lot of these days, and that is certainly unusual,” Marsh said. To the west, thunderstorms dropped hail as large as tennis balls in Colorado, and dozens of drivers in Nebraska pulled o� Interstate 80 with broken windshields. Forecasters warned of the possibility of powerful thunderstorms during the Tuesday afternoon rush hour in the Kansas City area, as well as more bad weather in Ohio. A tornado with winds up to 140 mph (225 kph) struck near Trotwood, Ohio, a community of about 24,500 people 8 miles (12 kilometers) outside Dayton. Several apartment buildings were damaged or destroyed, including one complex where the entire roof was torn away, and at least three dozen people were treated for cuts, bumps and bruises. “If I didn’t move quick enough, what could have happened?” said Erica Bohannon of Trotwood, who hid in a closet with her son and their dog. She emerged to ﬁnd herself looking at the sky. The roof was gone. Just before midnight, about 40 minutes after that tornado cut through, the National Weather Service tweeted that another one was crossing its path. Only a few minor injuries were reported in Dayton. Fire Chief Je�rey Payne called that “pretty miraculous,” attributing it to people heeding early warnings. Sirens went o� ahead of the storm. Some of the people treated at the area’s Kettering Health Network hospitals were hurt during storm clean-up itself, while others may have waited before seeking treatment from storm injuries, said spokeswoman Elizabeth Long. A boil-water advisory was issued after the city’s pumping stations lost power. Dayton Power & Light said more than 50,000 customers remained without electricity and restoration e�orts could take days. A high school gym in Dayton was designated an emergency shelter until authorities realized it was unusable. Vandalia’s school system tweeted that it is ending the year two days early because of building damage. In nearby hard-hit Brookville, where the storm tore o� the school’s roof, classes were canceled. In Indiana, a twister touched down Monday evening in Pendleton, about 35 miles (56 kilometers) from Indianapolis. At least 75 homes were damaged there and in nearby Huntsville, said Madison

County Emergency Management spokesman Todd Harmeson. No serious injuries were reported. Pendleton residents were urged to stay in their homes Tuesday morning because of downed power lines and other dangers. “People are getting antsy. I know they want to get outdoors, and I know they want to see what’s going on in the neighborhood,” Harmeson said. But he added: “We still have hazards out there.” Outbreaks of 50 or more tornadoes are not uncommon, having happened 63

times in U.S. history, with three instances of more than 100 twisters, Marsh said. But Monday’s swarm was unusual because it happened over a particularly wide geographic area and came amid an especially active stretch, he said. As for why it’s happening, Marsh said high pressure over the Southeast and an unusually cold trough over the Rockies are forcing warm, moist air into the central U.S., triggering repeated severe thunderstorms and tornadoes. And neither system is showing signs of moving, he said.

VACCINE EXEMPTIONS

Thousands of US kindergartners unvaccinated without waivers

BY JULIE CARR SMYTH ASSOCIATED PRESS

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) – States are heatedly debating whether to make it more di�cult for students to avoid vaccinations for religious or philosophical reasons amid the worst measles outbreak in decades, but schoolchildren using such waivers are outnumbered in many states by those who give no excuse at all for lacking their shots. A majority of unvaccinated or undervaccinated kindergartners in at least 10 states were allowed to enroll provisionally for the last school year, without any formal exemption, according to data reported to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Only 27 states submitted information about the group, so the true size of the problem is unknown. Poor access to health care keeps some of those children from getting inoculated

against some of the most preventable contagious diseases, but for others the reasons are more mundane. “It really could just be, ‘I didn’t have time to go to the doctor,’ or ‘I just don’t want to do this,’” said Melissa Arnold, CEO of the American Academy of Pediatrics’ Ohio chapter. “From a public health standpoint, we really don’t know.” Experts say it’s likely that many or even most of those children ultimately get all their vaccinations, as state laws require, but no one knows for sure. It’s neither tracked nor required to be. That leaves o�cials with a maddening lack of information as vaccination rates inch downward and diseases like measles, once declared eradicated, reemerge. The CDC has called on education o�cials to do more to ensure that those children get vaccinated, and state health and education

departments routinely issue reminders. But for school o�cials, complying with state mandates that require children be vaccinated in order to attend class can sometimes require choosing between educating students and safeguarding public health. “At the heart of our purpose is to have children in school; that’s our role as school nurses,” said Kate King, a board member at the Ohio Association of School Nursing. “We don’t want to exclude them. So that’s our dilemma.” All 50 states allow students to receive exemptions from vaccinations for medical reasons. But formal vaccine exemptions for religious or philosophical reasons have recently come under fire as the CDC has confirmed 880 measles cases in 24 states since January, the greatest number since 1994. But children whose vaccinations are incomplete for other reasons can’t be ignored. Of the 27 states that reported data on that group for the 2017-2018 school year, Arkansas had the highest percentage of kindergarten students enrolled without complete vaccinations and without invoking a medical, religious or philosophical exemption, according to the CDC . In Ohio, that figure was 5.3%, the second highest. Georgia and Hawaii were lowest, at 0.2%. Neither Ohio nor Arkansas has any measles cases yet this year, but health o�cials say the percentages of unvaccinated children are a worry. A 95% immunization rate is considered necessary to achieve group resistance to the spread of a contagious disease, o�cials said. “If it gets here, it will be bad,” King said of Ohio. In the 10 states where unvaccinated k indergartners lack ing exemptions outnumbered unvaccinated kindergartners who invoked them, the figures were striking: Only about 15,000 children were using exemptions compared to almost 27,000 who weren’t. Overall, the 27 states reported about 60,000 kindergartners who were unvaccinated without exemptions and about 70,000 who used them. States provide anywhere from a few days to many months for students to get vaccinated, but o�cials in charge of the vaccination data for several di�erent states said no system is in place to go back and check whether children ever get caught up. Once a grace period expires, barring a student from attending school can be a tough call, risking the child’s educational outcomes and, in some urban districts, their safety. In Pennsylvania, officials recently shrank the state’s eight-month grace period to just five days, said Cindy Findley,

the state’s acting deputy secretary for health promotion and disease prevention. The shorter window brings more focus and resources to the issue at the busy start of school. “What we’d find is children would go through the entire school year and not be up-to-date with their vaccinations and basically carry on to the next age group,” she said. Other states, including Arkansas and Indiana, now require public reporting of kindergarten immunization rates by schools, and Colorado has made the information easier to access. Dr. Jennifer Dillaha, medical director for immunizations at the Arkansas Department of Health, said the idea is to draw attention to the issue and to provide parents with information that might a�ect their choice of school. The CDC theorizes that “vaccine hesitancy” – fueled by a vocal anti-vaccination movement that contends some shots are unsafe despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary – has contributed to rising levels of unvaccinated schoolchildren in the U.S. But in Arkansas, Dillaha said, the issue is access. Most Arkansas children are on Medicaid, health insurance for low-income residents, and 16 of 75 Arkansas counties have only the local health department to turn to for vaccinations, she said. That means no doctor’s o�ces, clinics or corner pharmacies to make the procedure convenient. “We have a weak immunization infrastructure,” she said. “Consequently, because there are access issues, it varies from school to school how rigidly they enforce attendance requirements for vaccinations.” In Ohio, state data show the number of unvaccinated students remains high as students go through the school system, with 10% of seventh graders last year undervaccinated without invoking an exemption. Ohio’s last measles outbreak occurred in 2014 Knox County and was traced to the local Amish community, where vaccination rates trail the general population’s because their traditional lifestyle tends to eschew anything but the most vital medical care, said Pam Palm, a spokeswoman for the Knox County Health Department. But even with that history, o�cials try to be flexible. Steve Larcomb, superintendent of the East Knox Local Schools in Knox County, recalled accommodating a parent who was new to the district, busy moving and awaiting a child’s doctor’s appointment five weeks in the future. “We try not to draw too many lines in the sand and be too hard core, because we understand family situations,” Larcomb said.

American television has a lot of learn from its British counterpart. For starters: Less is more, and good things are worth waiting for. Clichés, yes. But when it comes to high-quality television, they’re also true. Instead of cranking out 13, 18, or 22 episodes (or more) per year, every year, some British series might only produce a handful of new episodes every other year or so. That barely qualifies as periodic miniseries in the States. Take Sherlock, for example. If my math is correct (and it might not be), they produced 15 episodes of that series over a seven-year period. No doubt in large part to accommodate the busy schedules of its stars, Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman, but also so they wouldn’t compromise on the quality of the storytelling. It’s a similar situation with Idris Elba’s breakout series, Luther, which returns to BBC America on June 2 after a four-year absence. Its first season, in 2010, was six episodes long; 2011’s season 2 and 2013’s season 3 each had four episodes, while 2015’s season 4 ran for just two

episodes. But we’re back up to four episodes of Luther for the new season. Another good reason for a bit of breathing room between seasons? Luther is a psychologically dark drama that demands a lot of its cast, especially of Elba, whose driven and rule-defying DCI John Luther seems to be constantly dancing on the edge of morality. Having Alice (Ruth Wilson), a psychotic serial killer, as a sort of confidante who always seems to turn up when Luther is at his lowest, only makes things a bit more interesting. It’s difficult for even the show’s biggest fans to predict how Luther might react to certain situations. As season 5 opens, we’ll see Luther as we’ve never seen him before: content. Or as close as he gets to content. But it wouldn’t be Luther if he weren’t dragged into a macabre murder case filled with sociopaths, danger, and violence. The cases Luther tackles are only a tiny reason for tuning in. Elba’s performance as the iconic character is the real show.

Programming Notes:

The Season 5 premiere of Luther is Sunday, June 2 at 7 p.m. CT on BBC America.

Stock Market

US stocks, bond yield slump, PROVIDING EXCELLENT signaling market jitters By Damian J. Troise and Alex Veiga Associated Press

U.S. stocks fell broadly Tuesday as anxious investors shifted money into bonds, sending yields to their lowest level in nearly two years. Rising bond prices, which pull yields lower, are typically a sign that traders feel jittery about long-term growth prospects and would rather put their money into safer holdings. The yield on the benchmark 10 year Treasury fell to 2.26% Tuesday, the lowest level since September 2017. That put it below the 2.35% yield on the three-month Treasury bill. When that kind of “inversion” in bond yields occurs, economists fear it may signal a recession within the coming year. It has happened multiple times so far this year. Investors have been weighing a mix of encouraging and discouraging economic reports this year as they also keep an eye on unpredictable swings in the escalating trade war between the U.S. and China. “If the bond market was saying that the economy is on OK footing then you wouldn’t see yields fall like they are,” said Willie Delwiche, investment strategist at Baird. “In many respects, equities are waking up to what’s happening in bonds.” The S&P 500 index fell 23.67 points, or 0.8%, to 2,802.39. The index had been up 0.5% earlier in the day. The Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped 237.92 points, or 0.9%, to 25,347.77, after rising about 131 points earlier. The Nasdaq composite dropped

29.66 points, or 0.4%, to 7,607.35. The Russell 2000 index of smaller companies gave up 10.09 points, or 0.7%, to 1,504.02. Major stock indexes in Europe also declined. U.S. stocks headed higher in the early going Tuesday as the market reopened after Monday’s Memorial Day holiday closure. But indexes reversed course by midday and never recovered. Trading has been choppy over the last several weeks as investors grapple with the possibility of a prolonged trade war between the U.S. and China. They escalated the dispute earlier this month by raising tariffs on each other. The U.S. went even further and proposed a ban on technology sales to certain Chinese companies. That added even more volatility to technology stocks that are already sensitive to the ups and downs of trade negotiations. The trade dispute has interrupted a market rally that saw the S&P 500 recoup the fourth quarter’s sharp loss and hit a new high. The index is down 4.9% so far in May, though it’s still up 11.8% for the year. In a client note Tuesday, Morgan Stanley warned that the stock market faces a lot more volatility because of weak economic data and the trade war. It also cautioned that those factors are also increasing the risk that the U.S. economy could slide into a recession. “This isn’t just about the U.S. and China,” said Brian Nick, chief investment strategist at Nuveen. “It’s about everybody sensing there is something

to brace for.” The drop in yields accelerated last week, but it has been happening gradually since late last year, when the 10 year Treasury yield peaked at 3.2%. The slide in bond yields held back gains for banks and other financial companies. Falling yields lead to lower interest rates on loans, which makes lending less profitable. Goldman Sachs Group slid 1.8%. Health care, consumer staples and industrial stocks also took heavy losses. UnitedHealth Group dropped 2.3%, Procter & Gamble slid 2.1% and United Rentals closed 3% lower. Communications ser v ices stock s bucked the broader market slide. Video game publisher Activision Blizzard led the sector, climbing 2.9%. Some stocks had a good day. Traders bid up shares in Total System Services 4.8% higher following the announcement t hat t he pay ments processor is being bought by Global Payments in a deal valued at $21.5 billion. The move is the third major acquisition in the payment technology sector this year. Global Payments shares lost 3%. SeaWorld su rge d 16.6% a f ter it announced a stock buyback and increased investment from a hedge fund. Fiat Chrysler shares gave up an early gain, sliding 0.9% after the carmaker proposed a merger with France’s Renault. A combination between the companies would create the world’s third largest automaker and reshape the global industry. It would top General Motors’ production and trail Volkswagen and Toyota. First American Financial fell 6.3% because of a security lapse that exposed bank account numbers and other sensitive information. The real estate title company confirmed the lapse on Friday. Energy futures ended mostly higher. Benchmark U.S. crude gained 0.9% to settle at $59.14 a barrel. Brent crude, the international standard, was little changed at $70.11 per barrel. Wholesale gasoline added 1.1% to $1.96 per gallon. Heating oil rose 1.1% to $1.99 per gallon. Natural gas fell 0.6% to $2.58 per 1,000 cubic feet. Gold fell 0.5% to $1,277.10 per ounce, silver slid 1.6% to $14.32 per ounce and copper slipped 0.1% to $2.70 per pound. The dollar fell to 109.48 Japanese yen from 109.54 yen on Monday. The euro weakened to $1.1165 from $1.1190.

On June 7, 1979, the inspirational group successfully lobbied President Jimmy Carter into hosting a reception to formally recognize the cultural and financial contributions of black music throughout history. Since that fateful year, Black Music Month has grown from an intimate commemoration to national reach with an abundance of events held annually across the country.

His unique mixed media art works can be seen in “Mischiefs in heat and sawdust: works of Nick Cashmere” now through June 30 in the Kortman Gallery in Downtown Rockford. Cashmere’s visual play on words are created with wood-burning tools, precisely cut 3-D applications, and off-beat drawn or photo images.

that the start of summer would be a celebration for “the rich heritage” of African American music and how these instrumental musicians “have enriched American music and captured the diversity of our Nation.” “The African-American music tradition also reflects creativity and individualism. Blues, jazz, soul, and rock and roll synthesize various musical traditions to create altogether new sounds,” Obama’s proclamation reads. “Their novel chord progressions, improvisation, and mood showcase individual musicians while also creating a cohesive musical unit. In addition, African-American composers have thrived in traditional genres such as musical theater, opera, classical

with a single word or image, something that gives me a feeling or idea that I latch onto,” says Cashmere. “I tend to choose common imagery. My main interest lies in what happens when things are taken and locked into a space with another seemingly unrelated subject.” “Nick’s juxtaposition of common images, combined with his unique technique and craftsmanship make his art not only visually challenging, but entertaining,” said Doc Slafkosky, Kortman gallery director. “When we first discovered Nick’s work, we were taken with his unusual wood-burning technique and use of materials. We have never seen anything quite like it!” Cashmere has also created new works for this exhibition that are not only visually playful, but have hands-on, interactive components that let the viewer become actively engaged in his art. “I want the viewer to not just look at my work, but also experience it,” said Cashmere. “I have several pieces in the show that patrons can actually play with. I hope people will enjoy seeing my work and have some fun at the same time.” “Mischiefs in heat and sawdust: works of Nick Cashmere” in the Kortman Gallery is on exhibit Tuesday through Friday, 11 a.m.-6 p.m., and Saturdays, 11 a.m.-5 p.m. The gallery is located upstairs at J. R. Kortman Center for Design, 107 North Main Street in Downtown Rockford. The exhibit will run through May 31. For more information call 815-968-0123 or visit www.jrkortman.com.

Did Someone Say National Wine Day!? By Taylor Daniels Rockford Area CVB

Located in Northern Illinois is a vineyard in our own backyard! With seating both inside and outside, DC Estate Winery is the perfect location for anything from extravagant weddings to a casual wine outing with friends. Recently, my best friend and both of our moms chose DC Estate Winery as the location for our weekend get-together, and their $5 Wine Tasting served as the perfect event. We each chose five different wines from their diverse list, and our girls’ day began! With quality wine, breathtaking scenery and welcoming staff, we enjoyed a relaxing and fun-filled evening. Family-owned and operated, DC Estate Winery’s goal is to create an unforgettable experience with their delicious wines and picturesque setting, and they did just that! Not only do

they have outstanding wine, but they also have a gift shop and snack menu available to top-off your experience. While the four of us each chose a very different wine tasting list, a few extraordinary wines stood out. If you are looking for a sweet and unique wine, Peach Honey is what you’re looking for! In one glass, the hints of peach, honey AND cinnamon all come through separately while also complementing each other to make for a delicious glass of wine. **INSIDER SECRET!!** If you order a glass of the Peach Honey, DC staff will heat it up for you, so you can have a glass of delicious, warm wine! Another sweet and fruity wine that piqued our interest was the DC Sweet Riesling. If the Peach Honey is a little too sweet for your liking, this Sweet Riesling just might do the trick. As a more relaxed light wine, this Riesling was definitely a

favorite amongst everyone as we decided to even get a bottle for the entire table! Lastly, a wine that I have more recently come to love is the Creekside Red. After having a glass of this wine that is both fruity while also boasting hints of oak, we decided to bring a bottle home for our next family gathering! DC Estate Winery suggests it be served with red meat, chicken or pasta, and while we enjoyed it by itself during our wine night, we figured it would be perfect at any family dinner as well! Their current menu boasts a list of 15 diverse wines to choose from (see list to the right). Go check them out Thursday - Saturday (11 a.m. - 6 p.m.) or Sunday (12 - 5 p.m.). DC Estate Winery is located at 8877 State Line Road, South Beloit, IL 61080. For more information about DC Estate Winery, visit gorockford.com.

Farming and climate change BY DRS. ROBERT & SONIA VOGL

Weed management in the backyard BY GRANT MCCARTY CONTRIBUTOR

To find a weed-free garden is a rare feat in any area. Weeds are defined as an unwanted plant. They have the ability to germinate quickly, produce many seeds, tolerate problematic environments, and compete with your plants. Your main goal for backyard weed management is to keep a weed’s seeds from entering into the soil. If the weed goes to seed and these seeds enter the soil, it’s going to be very hard to control any weeds for the next years to come. Weed seeds will remain in the garden for many years waiting for the right environment. Because of the rain and weather this spring, I’ve seen a lot of Yellow Rocket this year, much more than previous years. Another important aspect of weed management is knowing your enemy. Weeds are classified as annual or perennial then broad leaf or grass. These characteristics are important as they will help you decide how to manage them. You also want to identify the weeds early on as this will give you a better idea of management strategies. One year I dealt with Pennsylvania Smartweed in my garden. This annual weed is in the buckwheat family and thrives in wet, dark conditions with

Help Grow Public Radio

a vining growth habit. While mulching the garden is a great strategy for weed management, it would not control Pennsylvania Smartweed since it thrived under the mulch. For that season, hand pulling was the only option I had. Weed management strategies depend on keeping the weed plant/seed from getting what it needs: sunlight, water, and soil nutrients. If you can eliminate one of these, it will assist you in managing your weed populations. For instance, laying mulch around your main plant will block out sunlight from weed plants. Target your watering at the base of your plant. Sometimes simply removing weeds by hand is a fine approach. While these strategies might work, keep in mind that the weeds in your garden are fighters and will do what they have to do to compete with your plants. Chemical control may work well for you but you may find that there are very few options for the growing season and that these need to be applied months ahead of time.

His tips and tricks for local eating and your at-home garden appear every week in The Rock River Times.

CONTRIBUTORS

When we bought our small farm in 1975, a local banker commented that farmers have benefitted for years from favorable climate conditions for growing crops and wondered whether how much longer such favorable conditions would prevail. With existing unfavorable weather conditions, the question now becomes how farmers will have to adjust if existing conditions prevail into the future. A farming friend of ours recently sold o� an 80-acre parcel because it continued to flood and it was no longer profitable to try to crop. This past week, another neighbor who removes trees cut down a hollow oak tree which we feared would fall onto the roof of our house, When he arrived his first comment was that this was the fourth straight spring of heavy rains, standing water and flooding that is limiting his ability to remove and trim trees out of concern for damaging lawns or getting his truck stuck in the wet soil. After discussing the most reasonable way to approach the tree with his truck he started backing into position; the rear tires of the truck sank into the hillside of sandy, grassy soil. He successfully got the truck out but had to climb the tree to remove its upper branches before dropping it. Another neighbor has been unable to plow cropland because it has standing puddles of water. A similar problem exists on much of the farm ground in the area. Last December, Chris McGreal wrote in The Guardian how changes in climate conditions are impacting farm operations. He pointed out that heavy rains in 2013 forced farmers in northwestern Iowa

to forego planting crops on more than 700,000 acres, slightly more than 10% of the farmland in the state. Although our farm has been planted this year, there are low spots covered with water. With more rain on the way, we wonder whether the crop will survive. So far, we have not heard the words global warming from farmers we know. But McGreal’s article relies heavily on the views of Richard Oswald, a Missouri farmer who now believes that climate change is making for a grim future for farming. The shift in weather patterns is causing Oswald to farm di�erently. Historic patterns of planting and harvesting crops has given way to responding to waves of intense heat and rains and trying to adjust farming practices. It is forcing him and other farmers to spend more money on equipment and seeds to maintain yields. Some are adding drain tiles to their land apparently convinced the wet weather is the new norm. He and other farmers he knows are accepting the science of climate change as they see its impacts on their operations. The National Climate Assessment pointed out the potential of substantial damages to the U.S. economy from climate change. Of importance to the Midwest is that we will experience the sharpest rise in temperatures while experiencing longer, hotter summers, heavier rains and droughts which are expected to signiﬁcantly reduce our agricultural production. Livestock and human health will su�er, crop yields and quality will decline, adversely a�ecting rural economies while adversely impacting food security and stability of prices. For now, the problem for farmers is how to best respond to the challenges of climate change.

WEEK OF MAY 26 TO JUNE 1, 2019 THE LUCKIEST SIGNS THIS WEEK:

GEMINI, CANCER AND LEO Horoscope

ARIES

You’ll have an action packed week and put ideas that inspire you into practice. Our greatest achievements grow out of our dreams.

TAURUS

Someone close to you might need your assistance. You’ll feel weighed down by health issues or growing fatigue. Take the time to recharge and recover.

GEMINI

You’ll enlarge your social circle and professional network. You’ll take the reins planning a largescale event that turns out to be a huge success.

CANCER

You’ll feel overburdened with professional and familial responsibilities. If you have young children, you’ll actively involve yourself in their year-end scholastic activities.

LEO

The time has come to plan your next holiday. Indulge yourself with a trip worthy of royalty. There will be many small tasks to take care of in preparation of an event that will be well attended.

VIRGO

Are you feeling frantic and emotional? Big disruptions such as a move are on the horizon. You’ll need to make profound changes in order to give yourself a stronger foundation.

LIBRA

Your love life will occupy much of your attention during the week. The main goal will be to work with your partner to plan your future together. If you’re single, you’ll become more proactive in seeking out your soul mate.

SCORPIO

You’ll pay special attention to your health. You might start a new diet that will prove to be quite effective. The results will show quickly and many people will imitate you in order to have the same success.

SAGITTARIUS

You’ll stand out in a big way within a group. You’ll be fairly proud of this and feel emboldened. This will bolster your reputation as a leader among your peers and possibly within the company you work for.

CAPRICORN

You’ll decide to buy or sell a new property on a whim. You’ll find a place that suits your family’s needs perfectly — even if it’s a last-minute decision.

AQUARIUS

You’ll have lots to talk about. You’ll give a speech and be warmly applauded. Also, you’ll reach out to people who can help you resolve a financial matter.

PISCES

Death notices are provided by the Winnebago County Coroner’s office.

You’ll have a lot of shopping to do this week. Don’t worry too much about getting the best price or about negotiating the best repayment conditions for a loan; you’ll save money on the interest payments.

ROCKFORD – Fred VanVleet will be on basketball’s biggest stage Thursday night after helping the Toronto Raptors advance to the NBA Finals. The Raptors advanced by winning fours straight against the Milwaukee Bucks to capture the NBA Eastern Conference 4-2. Saturday in Toronto, VanVleet played 34 minutes and chipped in 14 points off the bench, going 4-5 from three-point land, helping to send Milwaukee home for the summer by score of 100-94. “We were a little antsy at first,” VanVleet said. “But then I think we worked ourselves into the game, went on cruise control for a little bit then took it up another notch.” The Bucks controlled the pace early, jumping out to a 31-18 lead in first quarter and led by 15 in the third. But it was Toronto in the fourth as the Raptors outscored the Bucks 29-18 to punch their ticket to the final series. Coming from behind seems to be part and parcel for Toronto’s postseason. Each of its three series was littered with struggles followed by offensive surges that kept them going through the bracket. It’s also been clear the Raptors are a better team when VanVleet is on the floor. “We know that every time we step on the floor we have a chance,” he said. “And we dropped those first two [games] but we really locked it in and really kicked into gear to get four straight.” Getting those four straight included a 21-point explosion from VanVleet last Thursday in a pivotal Game 5 that saw the Raptors escape with a 105-99 road win packed with plenty of big moments. VanVleet is no stranger to big moments, however. At Auburn High School, he led the Knights to third place in the IHSA Class 4A tournament. At Wichita State, he played in four NCAA tournaments,

including a Final Four as a freshman. So it seemed fitting for he third-year pro go 7-9 from behind the arc. Toronto’s Kawhi Leonard scored 35 points, seven rebounds and nine assists Thursday, In plus/minus, t hough, Leonard was just +3. VanVleet, who played 37 minutes, led everyone with a +28. “It’s turned around for me a little bit these last two games,” VanVleet told reporters after the game. “It feels like I am getting more open looks. And as you make them, your teammates start to look for you more and more and the game just kind of opens up all at once. And being tied up 2-2 and having an opportunity to come in here to try to steal one was on our minds.” Since 2000, when the NBA began tracking plus/minus, VanVleet, is the only player to shoot better than 80 percent on three-pointers and have a +25 or greater plus/minus in back-to-back playoff games. The fact that he’s played so well, while traveling back and forth to Rockford to witness the birth of his second child, and first son, has made him a national story on another level. “Our due date was May 31, so we knew it would be close – that it would be right around that time,” VanVleet said. “My daughter came three weeks early so we were expecting it to be any day now. And Monday morning, I thought I’d have a nice day off at home in Toronto and I got the call. So, I started running around trying to find if I could get on a plane. I made it to Rockford about 3 p.m. I spent the rest of the day at the hospital, and (Fred Jr.) came at 9:30.” The Raptors face the Golden State Warriors at home Thursday in Game 1 of the NBA Finals. It’s Golden State’s fifth straight appearance and Toronto’s first in franchise history.

Worth every nickel: Duke Shelley is exactly the Bears’ type By Robert Zeglinski Contributor

A nickel cornerback is not like his other defensive teammates. Where a boundary cornerback – of any length or size – can routinely be isolated with a receiver on an island, a nickel cornerback floats in the middle of the field, sometimes as he pleases but mostly as he needs. Where a linebacker operates largely on a see ball, get ball basis, a nickel cornerback has to be far more aware of his surroundings and can’t be caught looking in the backfield. Where most any defensive linemen is responsible for a one-note gap, and is largely facing the same competition up front every game, a nickel corner’s assignment often varies from series to series, play to play, and moment to moment. In a modern NFL where cornerback play is at a premium, and on a Bears team built on its defensive play, the nickel cornerback isn’t the most important cog in the machine. But it must routinely be the most pliable for risk of letting the entire engine it drives stall. Most good NFL defenses in 2019 have a competent nickel. The Bears, as they begin life without three-year starter Bryce Callahan, are no exception. A good nickel in pro football is worth a dime, and there are no dimes a dozen here. The current heir apparent to the Bears’ nickel throne the departed Callahan left behind is veteran Buster Skrine, who is on his third team in his ninth professional season. Skrine is capable, and is no stranger to an expanded role on any defense, but that’s more likely in a limited role. Skrine has lead the defense he’s featured on in penalties for each of the last three years. The Bears can get by with his experience and for a time probably will have to, but it won’t be ideal. The person whose growth must be considered for the long-term is rookie sixth-rounder Duke Shelley: the prototypical grinder and tough guy at nickel that Ryan Pace’s Bears have always deeply coveted, whether they’ve openly admitted to it or not. A four-year contributor at Kansas State, Shelley is listed at a generous 5-foot-9, 181 pounds. It’s often said that skinny athletes weigh what they weigh when they’re drenched in water, as to add more detail to their smaller frames. Hence the phrase “soaking wet.” For Shelley, classifying him in said fashion doesn’t do much of any favors to his more miniature stature. He’s rail-thin, even for a nickel cornerback, and there’s no need to gloss up the reality anymore. The

key distinction for Shelley and why the Bears ultimately invested in his potential, is that in either party’s eyes, it doesn’t matter. When you produce 165 tackles, 31 passes defended, eight interceptions, and seven tackles-for-loss in a pass happy Big 12, size never matters. It’s how you lit up the box score and found a way to thrive despite your limitations. Size at cornerback, while certainly desirable in most cases, isn’t the end-all be-all in terms of success. What does determine whether a nickel corner sinks or swims is instinct, speed, spatial awareness, and every cliche of grit you can dare to uncover. In comparison to most other traits, the importance of size is thoroughly overblown at every level and should be. If you had a nickel for every time a talented player was overlooked due to their size you’d have, well, a few dollars. In this case, the Bears just have one nickel, Shelley. Fortunately for Shelley, he’s got plenty of the latter descriptors as much as his frame may betray a worthy advertisement of what he brings to the table. He’s every bit the nickel cornerback the Bears have sought after – both Callahan and former Bear Cre’Von LeBlanc were also on the smaller side, though never particularly lacked in other needed skills – for most of the past half-decade. It’s a scouting modus operandi not likened to change anytime soon, and it’s served them well. What may preclude Shelley from shining early on in the NFL after being relatively snubbed in the 2019 NFL Draft is a transition to a position he’s never played before. In 2018, Shelley played just 10 snaps defending the slot, according to Pro Football Focus. Over 83 percent of his playing time was spent on the outside boundary, a figure that most aptly describes the rest of his collegiate career. The Bears have already begun their plans to rightfully shift Shelley inside in minicamp and get him acclimated. Though it’s early, it doesn’t sound like the self-assured rookie is concerned about his entirely new venture in an unfamiliar place. After all, if he could shine at a position his body wasn’t designed for in college, what will happen when he’s playing on the league’s premier active defense in a role tailor-made for his abilities? “Nickel’s a hard position to play, just because of where you’re at on the field,” Shelley told a gathered media contingent earlier this month. “There’s more grass, more field to cover. Guys have opportunities to go two-way go’s on you and things like that.”

“But for me personally, my skill set fits it, being my size and how quick I am and the feet I have,” Shelley continued. “Transition, I don’t feel like will be hard for me.” For Shelley’s and the Bears’ sake, to avoid any unnecessary stunting growing pains, it would be most beneficial if a veteran such as Skrine could hold onto his role to start the 2019 season. Barring a meteoric rise, there’s no need to force the issue on a player already being viewed as the near future of his position in Chicago. The time for Shelley to adapt and learn is now, when he’s most free to make mistakes, instead of being thrown into an offensive fire and being expected to climb out unscathed. Last season, NFL teams used 11 personnel – where there are three receivers, one tight end, and one running back on the field – 64 percent of the time. Some of football’s very best game-breakers like the Vikings’ Adam Thielen, Chargers’ Keenan Allen, and Cardinals’ Larry Fitzgerald, all ran at least half of their routes from the slot. Offenses have figured out they can exploit matchups from the middle of the field and attain as much flexibility inside than they ever could’ve previously imagined. It’s a spiritual awakening that

Paul Brown, Don Coryell, and Bill Walsh only could’ve dreamed of. It’s a reality the game’s greatest defensive minds like Bill Belichick, Vic Fangio, Mike Zimmer, and Bears defensive coordinator Chuck Pagano can only frown upon. The collective base offense of the league, and proliferation of superstars attacking the slot, means a nickel such as Shelley better be as prepared as possible when his moment comes or risk being embarrassed. If a Kansas State career marked by playmaking, unhinged adversity, and a perennial chip on his shoulder have anything to say about it, Shelley won’t be any worse for the wear when that moment arrives. He’ll be part of the face of a defensive movement and worth every nickel. “I got hurt,” Shelley tweeted recently. “Missed the last five games of my senior year. No bowl game, no senior bowl game, no combine invite. Which led me to be playing for the best defense and team in the NFL. None of that would have been possible if I would have finished my senior year.” “God works in mysterious ways.” Robert is a writer, editor, and producer.
