Rockford Public Library Nearing End Of Envisioning Sessions For Its New Downtown Building

By Guy Stephens WNIJ News

ROCKFORD – Between 30 and 40 people attended the Rockford Public Library’s 5th Community Envisioning Session held Wednesday at Rockford police Station District #1 to give input on a new main library. The library is looking to move to the next phase of the multi-year project.

Rockford Public Library Executive Director Lynn Stainbrook said most sessions have averaged several dozen attendees, with one more session, in Spanish, scheduled. She said many more people who couldn’t make the sessions have shared their thoughts on the new library via its website.

Stainbrook said a couple of ideas keep showing up.

“One is the desire for connection to the river – more windows, exterior patios,” she said. “The other would be environmental.

People are very concerned about energy savings, about sufficiency.”

Stainbrook said people also mentioned things like green roofs, and providing community, educational and recreational opportunities for all ages.

Stainbrook said many people also want the new building to be architecturally significant – something unique that they can point to with pride.

Soon, she said, the library will sort through and, with the public’s help, rank

the submitted suggestions. That will be part of the next phase.

“The administration, the library board, the architects will be looking at ideas as well,” she said, “and sort of saying, ‘O.K., this is practical, this we could do, this would be fun, this would fit into our budget.”

Stainbrook said the library believes a floor plan can be produced by December.

After that is developed, there will be more preparation, followed by construction. That alone is expected to take around 18 months.

Stainbrook said she hopes the new building can be finished in time for the library’s 150th anniversary, in 2022.

Retiring educator rides Harley through school on last day

By Jim Hagerty Reporter

STILLMAN VALLEY – The term “riding off into the sunset” has a slightly new meaning for a recently retired elementary school principal.

That’s because Mike Coulahan did not do so on a horse last Friday, his last day. He rode through the halls of Highland Elementary School on his Harley Davidson Sportster before continuing toward the sunny days ahead.

Coulahan was the principal at Highland for 12 years, after spending 11 years as a principal at Monroe Center Elementary, where he spent an hour riding through the halls.

“The students (were) so cute as they wish (ed) me well,” Coulahan said via Facebook.

At Monroe Center, the school secretary, Kathy Bybee and Principal and Sarah Hogan climbed on the Harley with Coulahan as

students assembled outside the building.

“Thank you to all of the community in the Meridian Schools for a wonderful ride of 31 years,” Coulahan continued. “It takes a village. Thank you students, teachers, staff, parents and everyone else that makes our Meridian schools great.

Meridian Public Schools posted a video of Coulahan’s ride on on the district’s Facebook page to add to the two-wheeled sendoff.

“We all wish him the best as he rides off into retirement,” the district posted along with the clip.

Coulahan is also known as an area bass player. He’s helped front a number of rock, punk and blues bands, over the years including the Blunatics and Boulas with the late Doug Furze. Coulahan is currently working on a local project called The Attitudes. R. See rockrivertimes.com for the complete story.

ABC cancels ‘Roseanne’ following star’s racist tweet

By David Bauder AP Media Writer

NEW YORK (AP) — ABC canceled its hit reboot of “Roseanne” on Tuesday following star Roseanne Barr’s racist tweet that referred to former Obama adviser Valerie Jarrett as a product of the Muslim Brotherhood and the “Planet of the Apes.”

ABC Entertainment President Channing Dungey said the comment “is abhorrent, repugnant and inconsistent with our values.” Barr had apologized and deleted her Monday-night tweet, calling it a “bad joke,” but the damage had already been done.

Barr was also dumped by her talent agency, ICM Partners.

The revival of the comedy was a surprise smash for ABC, owned by the Walt Disney Co., and was counted on to lead the network’s fortunes next season.

Its first new episode in March was seen by more than 25 million people, with delayed viewing counted in, numbers that are increasingly rare in network television.

ABC expected advertisers to pay millions

of dollars for the chance to be seen during commercial breaks on television’s most popular comedy after “The Big Bang Theory.”

And it was all killed in a 53-character tweet.

One of the few network shows about a working-class family, “Roseanne” attracted considerable attention upon its return when Barr’s character supported President Donald Trump. That made the show popular with conservative viewers, and Trump himself suggested the character’s backing had a lot to do with the show’s success.

Barr herself has a history of diving into political conspiracy theories on her Twitter feed, and she ended her Memorial Day weekend with a series of statements.

She criticized Democratic financier George Soros and tweeted that Chelsea Clinton was “Chelsea Soros Clinton,” implying she was married to a nephew of Soros.

Clinton herself corrected Barr online.

Donald Trump Jr. retweeted two of Barr’s statements about Soros, although not the remark about Jarrett.

Jarrett, who is black, was brought up in response to Twitter commentary that raised her name in relation to an Obama conspiracy theory. Barr tweeted: “muslim brotherhood & planet of the apes had a baby=vj.”

She later tweeted an apology to Jarrett.

“Forgive me,” she wrote. “My joke was in bad taste.”

Jarrett, who appeared at the taping of an MSNBC show about racism on Tuesday, said she hoped the incident could be turned into a teaching moment.

“I’m fine,” she said. “I’m worried about the people out there who don’t have a circle of friends and followers who come right to their defense.”

Barr was quickly condemned. Comic Wanda Sykes, a “Roseanne” writer, tweeted that she wouldn’t be returning to the show.

Sara Gilbert, a co-star, also tweeted that the remark was abhorrent.

It was a quick decision at ABC for Dungey, who is the first African-American to serve as programming chief for one of the major broadcast networks, and her boss, network president Ben Sherwood. Disney chief executive Robert Iger tweeted his approval: “There was only one thing to do here, and that was the right thing.”

Three weeks earlier, “Roseanne” was the toast of ABC’s annual presentation of its programming plans to advertisers.

Sherwood even joked then: “If anyone came to play a drinking game based on how many times we mention ‘Roseanne,’ you’re welcome.”

“Roseanne” earned an estimated $45 million in advertising revenue for ABC through its nine episodes that started airing in March, according to Kantar Media.

The firm estimates that the 13 episodes that had been ordered for next season would have brought in as much as $60 million, with more through repeat episodes.

Hulu and the Laff comedy channel said Tuesday they were pulling re-runs of “Roseanne” from their schedules.

The cancellation has no clear precedent in television history, said David Bianculli, professor at Rowan University in New Jersey. The closest analogy is CBS pulling the plug on the Smothers Brothers variety show due to their anti-war views in the late 1960s and the same network not renewing “Lou Grant” at its peak, which star Ed Asner always contended was due to his outspoken political beliefs.

“Roseanne Barr’s comments were appalling and reminiscent of horrific time in our history when racism was not only acceptable but promoted by Hollywood,” said Derrick Johnson, NAACP president and

CEO. “We applaud ABC for taking a stand against racism by canceling ‘Roseanne.’ We commend the network and ... Dungey for placing the values of diversity, inclusion and respect for humanity above ratings.”

Barr got what she deserved, said Shonda Rhimes, creator of hit ABC shows like “Grey’s Anatomy” and “Scandal.”

“As I tell my 4-year-old, one makes a choice with one’s actions,” Rhimes tweeted. “Roseanne made a choice. A racist one.

ABC made a choice. A human one.”

ICM dropped Barr within hours of the cancellation, saying in a statement that the agency was “greatly distressed by the disgraceful and unacceptable” tweet. Bruce Helford, executive producer of “Roseanne,” said he was “personally horrified and saddened by the comments and in no way do they reflect the values of the people who worked so hard to make this the iconic show that it is.”

AP writers Mark Kennedy, Jocelyn Noveck and Leanne Italie in New York and Andrew Dalton in Los Angeles contributed to this report.

Illinois prison agency might appeal mental-health ruling

Today May 30

Thurs May 31

By John O’Connor AP Political Writer

SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (AP) — The Illinois Department of Corrections indicated Monday it will consider appealing a federal judge’s order that the agency immediately provide sufficient staff and treatment to 12,000 mentally ill inmates, arguing that it has made significant strides in complying with a two-year-old lawsuit settlement.

U.S. District Court Judge Michael Mihm, in an order dated Friday , ruled that seriously mentally ill inmates are suffering “irreparable harm” from an agency Mihm has determined treats them with “deliberate indifference.”

“These are mentally ill individuals, who themselves are left, in a very real way, at the mercy of the IDOC to provide them with the constitutionally minimal level of health care,” Mihm wrote. “And this is simply not being done, and based on the

record presented, will not be done unless there is a preliminary injunction issued by this Court.”

Mihm found “a state of emergency” in the prison system’s psychiatric care after a court-appointed monitor reviewing compliance last year found IDOC’s mental health care “grossly insufficient” and “oftentimes dangerous.” Continued noncompliance could eventually lead the judge to appoint a receiver to oversee required improvements.

The state’s $1 billion-a-year prison system has been dogged by funding problems even before a two-year budget stalemate that ended last summer decimated it and many other state services.

But Corrections Department spokeswoman Lindsey Hess noted that the monitor also found “many significant improvements to the mental health care delivery system” in the prisons. She said

he noted improved timeliness of mental health and suicide screenings, significantly reduced segregation time and increased time out of cells.

She also said the federal court had recognized areas where IDOC complied with the settlement, including opening a Joliet treatment center and constructing a residential treatment unit at the Dixon prison.

“We remain focused on our goal to ensure that mentally ill men and women receive the treatment that is essential to their well-being, rehabilitation and re-entry into society,” Hess said. “We continue to make adjustments in our day-to-day operations that balance safety, security, and the needs of our mentally ill population.”

Hess said corrections officials will consult the state attorney general to consider next legal steps.

The case is Rasho v. Walker .

Plan to increase smoking age stalls in Illinois House

SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (AP) — A plan to prohibit smoking for those under age 21 failed in the Illinois House Tuesday after

meeting opposition from lawmakers calling it a governmental overreach.

The plan, which would ban under-21 sales of tobacco or related products including e-cigarettes or vaping materials, fell four votes short despite a strong lobbying campaign and Senate approval in April.

Rep. Camille Lilly, a Chicago Democrat, said her measure is meant to prevent teens from forming a deadly habit. She added it will save the state millions of dollars in long-term health care costs.

“You are not looking at the lives of our young people who are our future,” said Lilly, addressing opponents during a lengthy floor debate. “Addiction is not something we should be promoting in our country.”

Opponents said that 18-year-olds are adults and should be allowed to make their own decisions, especially since they’re already able to vote or join the military.

Rep. Jeanne Ives, a Wheaton Republican, also noted that teens could easily cross

state lines to purchase the product, which would mean the state loses out on potential tax revenue.

A group of middle and high school students from across Illinois lobbied in favor of the measure last month. Sophia Bacci, a freshman at Deerfield High School, said it’s not enough for opponents to say that people can make their own decisions.

“Cigarette use affects everybody whether you decide to participate or not,” she said.

“I see a lot of influence from cigarettes all over school and this bill will help me and others live a happy, healthy life.”

Fourteen Illinois cities and counties, including Chicago, have already adopted local ordinances setting the age at 21.

Lilly used a procedure to allow her to recall the bill, but cast doubt on whether that would happen before Thursday’s scheduled adjournment.

Illinois will spend more than $11 billion on maintaining and replacing roads and bridges in the next six years.

Gov. Bruce Rauner announced the program Tuesday in Peoria, where $205 million – the largest single chunk of the plan – will be used to replace the McClugage Bridge.

More than $97.6 million will be spent to improve U.S. 20 across northern Illinois between Interstate 39 and the Mississippi River. That includes $34.7 million for work on the bypass south of Rockford.

The planned projects are part of a new, risk-based Transport Asset Management Plan -or TAMP- required by the Federal Highway Administration. It challenges states to review the life cycle of its bridges and roads. Rauner says it’s a worthwhile method.

“The reality is, we’ve got to invest in our assets on a smart basis, on an ongoing basis, to make sure they’re well maintained,” he said. “And that actually saves money in the long run, and we get longer effective lives out of our roads and bridges.”

He said the plan is built on an asset

management approach that takes overall economic impact into account and not just what needs repair the most.

“We are no longer just relying on the old strategy of ‘worst first’ meaning invest in a road that’s a disaster,” Rauner said.

“Our old strategy was like buying a new car and then not changing the oil and just wait until the car stopped running and then buy a new car.”

IDOT has completed the initial portion of the asset management program and plans to be fully compliant by June 2019. The highway improvement program will fund rehabilitation of 1,945 miles of state-owned roads and nearly 8.5 million square feet of bridge decks on 525 bridges. Funds for locally-maintained bridges and roads also are allocated in the I-DOT plan.

“This program doesn’t get us to where we need to be,” said IDOT Secretary Randy Blankenhorn, “but it’s a good step forward in maintaining what we have and making sure we’re giving true value to the people of Illinois.”

Peoria Public Radio Reporter Kristin McHugh contributed to this report.

State Bicentennial

O’Hare Airport: For many, the place to reunite with the ones you love best

By Marni Pyke

Of the Daily Herald

It took just seven years for O’Hare International Airport to rise from an unassuming, former aircraft factory to the world’s busiest airport in 1962.

Since then, the Midwest aviation hub has witnessed history and sparked an economic boom in the region; but for many across Illinois, it’s the place to reunite with the ones you love best.

“Creating O’Hare was a marvelously foresighted decision by the city of Chicago,” aviation expert Joseph Schwieterman said.

Chicago leaders chose Orchard Field, where the Douglas Aircraft Co. was building fighter planes, as the site for a second airport to relieve busy Midway International Airport in 1945.

The facility got its name in 1949 from heroic World War II pilot Edward “Butch” O’Hare and opened for commercial traffic in 1955. The main terminal building and a parking lot were completed in 1961 and in 1963 President John F. Kennedy dedicated the airport.

“There is no other airport in the world which serves so many people and so many planes,” Kennedy said.

O’Hare can be credited with generating a commercial boom in northwest Chicago and the surrounding suburbs that includes industrial parks, hotels and restaurants, freight operations and transportation services.

An estimated 450,000 jobs in the region are linked to O’Hare and its economic impact is $38 billion, according to the Chicago Department of Aviation.

An extension of Route 390/Elgin-O’Hare Expressway to the airport and a ring road (I-490) on its western edge are projected to create up to 65,000 new direct and indirect jobs in the region.

O’Hare ranks as the country’s second busiest airport, with 867,635 arrivals and departures in 2016, compared to Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport with 898,356.

But along with being a financial and

transportation asset, O’Hare has an emotional connection with Illinoisans.

Over the years, the airport has witnessed heartbreak as when American Airlines Flight 191 crashed minutes after takeoff near Des Plaines in 1979.

It’s seen emotional farewells as soldiers deployed to Vietnam, Afghanistan and Iraq, and joyful reunions as they returned.

And in January 2017, it saw protests over a travel ban enacted by the White House on seven predominantly Muslim nations.

Famous fliers have taxied on the tarmac from President Barack Obama aboard Air Force One to sports teams raising trophies such as the 1985 Chicago Bears, 2005 White Sox, 2013 Blackhawks and 2016 Chicago Cubs.

Back in 1963, Kennedy hoped the government and airlines, “will continue to work as hard as they can to make sure that the noise from these jets which take us in and out do not disturb the lives of ... people whose homes are in the immediate area.”

His words were prescient as noise is the crux of the love-hate relationship neighborhoods around O’Hare have had with the behemoth. Neighbors appreciate the fact that the airport creates jobs, but loathe the din of jets over their homes.

Since 1995, more than 10,900 homes have been soundproofed but concerns about noise continue to date.

The airport was a trendsetter over the years with the iconic steel and glass of Terminal 1 designed by Helmut Jahn and the transcendent “Sky’s the Limit” light sculpture between Concourses B and C. Other unique features include a soothing hydroponic garden, a replica of a World War II fighter plane and a yoga room.

“When O’Hare opened it was rivaled only by JFK (International Airport in New York) as an aviation showpiece that pointed the way to the future,” said Schwieterman, a DePaul University professor, “(with) the double-deck roadway, multiple-terminal design, the room

O’Hare International Airport’s iconic Terminal 1 features glass and steel architecture.

Daily Herald photo by Bob Chwedyk for expansion in the footprint.”

In its most recent metamorphosis, O’Hare is shifting to a parallel runway system instead of relying on diagonals.

The sixth and final parallel is scheduled to be completed in fall 2020.

As its next act, the city of Chicago is pursuing an O’Hare 21 plan. Elements include “a new global terminal, more gate frontage, more space for passenger amenities and other improvements to increase efficiency of growing airport operations,” CDA Communications Deputy Commissioner Lauren Huffman said.

“Aging terminals will be redeveloped and a new global terminal will double O’Hare’s capacity for serving international passengers, allowing arriving international passengers to exit faster and connect to other flights with greater ease.”

The plan also includes three new or redeveloped hotels and additional gates.

“Getting around the airport will be faster, more convenient and efficient.

Customer service will be improved with new technology, amenities and more space to relax,” Huffman said. “Over the next decade, these investments will ensure that O’Hare is equipped for growth and to maintain its status as a top destination and choice hub for passengers around the world.”

Starbucks closes stores, asks workers to talk about race

By Joseph Pisani Associated Press

NEW YORK (AP) — Starbucks, mocked three years ago for suggesting employees discuss racial issues with customers, asked workers Tuesday to talk about race with each other.

It was part of the coffee chain’s anti-bias training, created after the arrest of two black men in a Philadelphia Starbucks six weeks ago. The chain apologized but also took the dramatic step of closing its stores early for the sessions. But still to be seen is whether the training, developed with the NAACP Legal Defense and Education Fund and other groups, will prevent another embarrassing incident.

“This is not science, this is human behavior,” said Starbucks Chairman Howard Schultz. He called it the first step of many.

The training was personal, asking workers to break into small groups to talk about their experiences with race. According to training materials provided by the company, they were also asked to pair up with a co-worker and list the ways they “are different from each other.” A guidebook reminds people to “listen respectfully” and tells them to stop any conversations that get derailed.

“I found out things about people that I’ve worked with a lot that I didn’t know,” said Carla Ruffin, a New York regional director at Starbucks, who took the training earlier Tuesday and was made available by the company to comment on it.

Ruffin, who is black, said everyone in her group said they first experienced bias in middle school. “I just thought that was

pretty impactful, that people from such diverse backgrounds, different ages, that it was all in middle school.”

She said the training and discussion was needed: “We’re never as human beings going to be perfect.”

Starbucks declined to specify how much the training cost the company, though Schultz said it was “quite expensive” and called it “an investment in our people and the long-term cultural values of Starbucks.”

The chain also lost sales from closing early, but the late-in-the-day training sessions meant no disruption to the busier morning hours.

At the company’s Pike Place Market location in Seattle, commonly referred to as the original Starbucks, the store stopped letting people in at 1 p.m.

Trina Mathis, who was visiting from Tampa, Florida, was frustrated that she couldn’t get in to take a photo but said the shutdown was necessary because what happened in Philadelphia was wrong.

“If they haven’t trained their employees to handle situations like that, they need to shut it down and try to do all they can to make sure their employees don’t make that same mistake again,” said Mathis, who is black.

Others visiting the store questioned whether the training would make a difference or suggested it was overkill.

Anna Teets, who lives in Washington state, said the problem has been fixed and the company has dealt with the situation.

“It’s been addressed,” she said.

The training was not mandatory, but Starbucks said it expected almost all of

the 175,000 employees at 8,000 stores to participate and said they would be paid for the full four hours. Executives took the same training last week in Seattle.

Training in unconscious, or implicit, bias is used by many corporations, police departments and other organizations. It is typically designed to get people to open up about prejudices and stereotypes — for example, the tendency among some white people to see black people as potential criminals.

Starbucks said it would make its training materials available to other companies.

Many retailers, including Walmart and Target, said they already offer some racial bias training. Nordstrom has said it plans to enhance its training after three black teenagers in Missouri were falsely accused by employees of shoplifting.

In the Philadelphia incident, Rashon Nelson and Donte Robinson were asked to leave after one was denied access to the restroom. They were arrested by police minutes after they sat down to await a business meeting.

Video of the arrests were posted on social media, triggering protests, boycott threats and debate over racial profiling, or what’s been dubbed “retail racism.” It proved a major embarrassment for Starbucks, which has long cast itself as a company with a social conscience. That included the earlier, widely ridiculed attempt to start a national conversation on race relations by asking its employees to write “Race Together” on coffee cups.

Starbucks said the Philadelphia arrests never should have occurred. Some black coffee shop owners in the city suggested

black customers instead make a habit of patronizing their businesses. Amalgam Comics and Coffeehouse owner Ariell Johnson said she has called the police just once in the two years she has been open.

She said that should happen only when there is a provocation or danger.

Nelson and Robinson settled with Starbucks for an undisclosed sum and an offer of a free college education. They also reached a deal with the city of Philadelphia for a symbolic $1 each and a promise from officials to establish a $200,000 program for young entrepreneurs.

The two men visited the company’s Seattle headquarters on Friday, Schultz said, to “see what Starbucks does every day.” He added that Starbucks CEO Kevin Johnson has agreed to mentor them. “I suspect this won’t be the last time they come,” Schultz said.

Calvin Lai, an assistant professor of psychological and brain sciences at Washington University in St. Louis, said diversity training can have mixed effects.

“In some cases it can even backfire and lead people who are kind of already reactive to these issues to become even more polarized,” Lai said.

One afternoon wouldn’t really be “moving the needle on the biases,” he said, especially since Starbucks has so many employees and they may not stay very long.

Starbucks said the instruction will become part of how it trains all new workers. Stores will keep iPads given out for Tuesday’s meetings and new videos will be added every month for additional training.

Starbucks said it also plans to hold training at its stores in other countries.

Rockford Rocked Interview

RRI sits down with acoustic performer Mark Sturm

By Todd Houston Contributor

Rockford Rocked Interview: What or who first inspired you to pick up the guitar and start playing music?

Mark Sturm: Watching the Beatles’ Hard Day’s Night and Help! movies, playing my mother’s stereo, listening to her albums, lots of AM radio.

RRI: How old were you?

MS: I think I was about seven years old when I started listening to the Cowsills.

RRI: I’m told your’re one one of those guys that sort of does it all. What made you leave the full band gig in favor of going out alone and doing it all yourself?

MS: Well, the keyboard player for the band I was in, ‘Looking for Treble’, needed to take a break and then the drummer developed arthritis in his arms and could not play anymore so it was a good time I guess.

RRI: Do you use a backing track or drum machine?

MS: I have a microphone wrapped in a towel in a box under my foot, for percussion.

I tap my foot 12,000 times a show! (laughs) RRI: What are some of your favorite songs to perform?

MS: Lets see.. “Me and Julio Down by the Schoolyard”, “Runaway” and “Take Me Home Country Roads”.

Medication Collection

Saturday, June 9, 2018 • 9 am to 1:30 pm

RRI: Do you get many requests?

MS: Yeah I do. Most of the songs are picked by my audience. If I don’t know, I try to learn it for them, so the next time I see them I can play it.

RRI: Favorite venue to perform at?

MS: I don’t really have a favorite venue, each is unique in it’s own way and the staff and owners all treat me very well.

RRI: Are there any newer artists that you admire these days?

MS: There was one, Chris Ruckman, he was an awesome guitar player. So glad I got to perform with him at a soul food restaurant, a benefit for victims of the Puerto Rico hurricane.

RRI: If you were told that you had to discard all of your music, i.e. records, tapes, recordings, etc., and keep just one, what would it be?

MS: This is an easy one, five years ago I sold all our albums and tapes and kept the Cowsills, the Rain and the Park (big Cowsill fan). R. * Mark Sturm will be performing Friday at Salvaged by Sonia, 330 E. State St., at 5 p.m. as part of First Fridays; and Saturday at the RPL’s Hart Interim Library, 214 N. Church St., from 1-3 p.m.

RACVB View

RACVB inspires community to Think BIG

Keynote speaker Melissa Luebbe The Rockford Area Convention & Visitors Bureau inspired guests to Think BIG, Then ACT and celebrated major tourism accomplishments for the community on Wednesday, May 23, 2018, during the organization’s annual luncheon.

The luncheon took place in the recently renovated Cliffbreakers Riverside Hotel & Conference Center.

When it comes to marketing cities as tourist destinations, the name of the game is storytelling, said Melissa Luebbe, publisher of Midwest Living, in her keynote address.

“You could call it marketing, but when it’s done really well, marketing is telling a story,” Luebbe said at the event, which attracted an audience of nearly 325 to the newly renovated ballroom at Cliffbreakers.

“Remember,” she told the audience, “we buy with our hearts.” Logos of familiar products flashed on the screen behind her. Macintosh. Starbucks. Nike.

Harley-Davidson.

“We talk about connecting with a visitor’s emotions,” she said. “It’s connecting with them at dozens of touchpoints – many of which occur at Rockford’s key attractions and off-the-beaten-path locations – and many of which occur before a tourist has even made it to the Rockford area.”

Some elements of creating the “emotion-

FUNDING AVAILABLE

Luncheon guests sign the large composition book al connection,” she said, are identifying your city’s unique appeal, telling your history in an interesting way, creating attractive gateways, being a great host and building attractions that create a buzz and draw people in.

The Rockford region has been telling its story in numerous ways, including through the video series called “Our City, Our Story,” created by local filmmaker Pablo Korona and funded by RACVB and Woodward.

Luncheon guests enjoyed two of the videos during the event.

Also, RACVB has successfully partnered with Development Counsellors International (DCI), a national public relations firm, to push out positive stories to national media outlets. Those efforts have resulted in more than 20 positive stories in the last year in such national outlets as USA Today, The Wall Street Journal, Fox Business, CNN Money and Industry Week. Those stories have reached 1.3 billion people with positive narratives surrounding Rockford’s quality of life assets, economic success, community members and initiatives.

In his report on the state of tourism in the region, RACVB President/CEO John Groh said the success story is compelling. With the exception of Cook County, Winnebago County is the fastest growing tourist

destination in the state. Visitors spent more than $350 million (the largest amount on record) last year in Winnebago County. That money supported almost 3,000 jobs and a payroll of almost $86 million.

There were 8,361,441 guests who visited attractions and events in Winnebago County in 2017. The most-visited locations were the sports complexes, which last year attracted almost 3 million people to attend or participate in events.

The theme of the luncheon, Think BIG, Then ACT, was emphasized by a large (10’ x 7’11”) composition book in which luncheon guests were invited to write BIG IDEAS for the region. Guests received regular-size BIG IDEA composition books to take with them.

Groh told attendees to use the books to record their own ideas.

“If you wait for earth-shattering ideas to occur to you, those pages will remain blank,” he said. “Use this book for ideas that are half-baked. Write down the absurd and the impossible. Put into words ideas whose time hasn’t yet come.

“You never know when circumstances will expose the potential in a previously impossible dream.”

For instance, given the Hilton Embassy Suites and Rockford Conference Center project now underway on a site adjacent

to Davis Park, it now makes sense to move ahead with a strategic plan for the park.

The strategic plan was developed by a city-appointed committee in 2015 and 2016.

Making news at the RACVB event, Rockford Mayor Tom McNamara appointed RACVB as the lead agency for the Davis Park project, and he named Groh to chair a 20-member task force to implement the plan. Concepts recommended by the original committee include such features as a splash pad that converts to an ice rink in winter, a sunning beach, public docks, a sculpture garden, attractive gateways and greenspaces, and much more.

“Every member of the task force is enthusiastic about this project and just as eager as I am to get started,” Groh said.

“We will identify priorities and evaluate funding options. Our ultimate goal is to move this plan to completion.”

RACVB’s Annual Luncheon was supported by generous local organizations and businesses in the community. Gold Sponsors were Illinois Bank & Trust, Gorman & Company, Inc., and City of Rockford. Silver Sponsors were Swedish American, a division of UW Health, Fehr Graham and Event Floral.

Solar – a winning economic investment Tomato staking time

By Grant McCarty Contributor

Once your tomato plants have been planted and are starting to get good growth, you’ll notice they need some sort of support. Cages or stakes are the two most common supports given to a tomato plant. Your type of tomato will determine your trellising needs.

If you have one, small tomato plant, a tomato cage would be suitable. If I was growing many indeterminate/ determinate tomato plants, staking will be the best. Avoid the flimsy tomato cages as the plants tend to overtake the cage half-way through the season and do not provide adequate support.

Staking requires either metal or wooden stakes with one at the start of the row and the next one after every two plants. A benefit to the staking system is that it allows you to adjust the string level instead of depend on set spacing from a tomato cage. Metal stakes like t-posts provide considerable more support for tomatoes than wooden stakes can. Whichever spacing and stakes that you decide on, you’ll need to use heavy duty string to support them.

If you use stakes and cages season after season, plan to clean them before using again this season. Diseases

can overwinter on any soil and plant material that remains on the stakes/ cages. A simple bleach or rubbing alcohol solution should sterilize these tools before they enter your garden.

The Florida Weave is a trellising method that Florida tomato growers use in their staking system. Using general spacing (1 stake every 2 plants), the first string line will cross between the plants before the next stake, creating a figure eight once you’ve worked your way to the end of the line and then returned to the first stake to tie it. Following this initial criss-cross string line, the next string lines will not cross. There are numerous online resources with photos that explain the Florida Weave.

Your first string line should be when your plant is about a 1ft in height and the string should be placed under the first stem. The stakes may also need to be hammered into the ground as fruit weighs down the plants.

With your trellis system in place, your tomato plants are ready to start flowering and fruiting. R. Grant McCarty is the Local Food and Smalls Farms Educator of the University of Illinois Extension.

By Drs. Robert & Sonia Vogl Contributors

The price of gasoline is already increasing dramatically. According to Gas Buddy the average price in Illinois rose about 64¢/gallon over the last three months with slightly lower increases in the Rockford area. In response to higher gasoline prices some drivers are beginning to buy more fuel efficient cars.

A friend suddenly appeared in a much smaller car than the large SUV she had been driving and quickly explained it was in response to rising gasoline prices.

Another way to avoid rising gasoline prices is to switch to a hybrid or electric vehicle. New electric and hybrid vehicles travel far greater distances between charges; more charging stations are coming on line; used vehicles are becoming available. A combination of increased travel distances per charge and faster charging times is making electric vehicles as practical as gasoline powered vehicles. A car charging station can also be installed in an owner’s garage.

The dramatic increase in oil and gas production in the United States has been fueled by debt. According to Justin Mikulka, The Economist noted the shale industry was losing money when oil sold for $100/barrel. The recent price was $78.88 so the fracking industry debt remains a problem.

Natural gas prices at the Henry Hub have ranged from as low as $2.53 to as high as $3.66 over the last year and are currently $2.93. The prices are seen as far too low for the industry to be able to pay off the debt.

How the fracking debt will be paid off remains unclear – bankruptcies, consolidations, increased government subsidies

or continued technological improvements might improve the economics of the industry. But as Nate Hagens reminds us, the more money invested in securing energy means less available for other sectors of the economy. Relying on fossil fuels will also raise the costs of dealing with climate change.

The bright spot on the energy supply side remains renewable energy, especially in Illinois. Low renewable energy system prices, federal tax credits and renewable energy credits available in the state provide a favorable economic opportunity for citizens, communities and business interests.

One Illinois county official estimates he has heard from about 30 firms interested in installing solar systems in their county. Moxie Energy from Iowa is opening an office and warehouse in Dixon and anticipates training as many as 60 solar installers.

A recent three-page ad in the Ogle County section of Farm Week revealed the arrival of another firm into the Illinois solar market: Novel Energy Solutions from Minnesota announced they are hiring employees.

The Illinois Renewable Energy Association and Sustain Rockford are organizing an event, the Rockford Sustainability Summit, for June 23 to explore interest in creating a group solar purchase program.

A group solar purchase provides an additional discount to participants who want a solar energy system installed on their building or property through the benefits of a bulk purchase.

Lennie is a little boy in the body of a dangerously powerful man. It’s Lennie’s obsessions with things soft and cuddly that have made George cautious about with whom the gentle giant associates. But when a ranch boss’ promiscuous wife is found dead in the barn, it’s obvious that Lennie, albeit accidentally, killed her. George, now worried about his own safety, knows exactly where Lennie has gone to hide, and he meets him there. Realizing they can’t run away anymore, George is faced with a moral question: how should he deal with Lennie before the ranchers find him and take matters into their own hands.

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.

Inside and outside: Bears’ WR talent upgraded, but dangerously thin on depth

By Robert Zeglinski Contributor

The beauty of the NFL is that you can dramatically transform position groups in lone off-seasons. That’s part of the reason that lower level parity resonates so well in this league. Eight of 12 teams that didn’t make the playoffs in 2016, were newcomers this past January. That’s because outfits such as the Rams and Vikings retooled on the fly, and maximized the resources handed to them.

Resources being free agency and the draft.

One of the organizations going into 2018 with a similar arrow pointing up is the Bears, particularly at receiver. Four months after finishing with a listless starting receiver corps of Kendall Wright, Dontrelle Inman, and Josh Bellamy: Chicago put all hands on deck in the spring to surround Mitchell Trubisky with an exact contrast of quality of weapons.

Enter Allen Robinson, Taylor Gabriel, and Anthony Miller: the Bears’ new proposed top trio that should routinely give fits to opponents across the league.

Picture this: Robinson is the quintessential No. 1 playmaker that can make life for Trubisky incredibly simple. Gabriel is the one-touch home run player that will often single-handedly cause defensive coordinators to smash their game plans in a fit of rage. And Miller, well Miller is the heir apparent to Robinson’s status in an ideal world. A young and fiery ball of muscle and competition, the sky is the limit for the 2018 Draft pick.

A beyond exciting prospect for what the Bears’ offense can offer. Receivers who can actually make plays in contested coverage, and can make their quarterback look better by proxy existence. That is, unless any of this sterling on-paper trio misses time.

The Bears can potentially have one of the top-tier receiving corps in the NFL as long as the top-heavy unit stays on course. Doubt has crept up before.

Because after Robinson, Gabriel, and Miller, this situation can get dicey for Chicago. Even more so, not a predicament the Bears appear to be prepared for. To say Chicago can rely on a group led by Kevin White (five starts in three seasons due to injuries), Josh Bellamy (a sterling special teamer, but nothing more), Bennie Fowler (see Bellamy, Josh), and seventh rounder Javon Wims (who has reportedly looked awful in the shorts’ practice of organized activities this month): would be a cause for concern.

Robinson is two years removed from a season where he caught 14 touchdowns

in 2015, despite his quarterback being the unparalleled human meme known as Blake Bortles. An impressive accomplishment considering the dire circumstances.

Ironically, he could be worth every penny of his $14 million dollar average annual value contract coming into Chicago ... provided he recovers properly from a torn ACL suffered last September. Recent reports have Robinson on track for Week 1 against the Packers on Sunday Night Football, but you never know with the trajectory of knee injuries.

Couple that with the fact that Robinson didn’t nearly enjoy the same level of elite production in his follow-up 2016 season, and the alarms can go off at a moderate tone. Robinson told Sirius XM Radio in March that he felt the Bears were “a perfect match.” He has to live up to his promises.

Meanwhile, Gabriel is someone renown for his ability to make defenders miss in open space. The man appropriately coined “Turbo” (also on Gabriel’s Twitter account), is a blur once he gets a head of steam going. There aren’t many more terrifying assets that can flip a game on it’s head like Gabriel purports to.

However, the contrast in production Gabriel has had in current 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan’s offense and everyone else in both Atlanta and Cleveland, is undeniable. Under Shanahan in 2014 and 2016, respectively, Gabriel averaged over 600 yards receiving and almost 17 yards a reception: stellar play from a 5-foot-8, 165 pound blur. In 2015 and 2017 in fresh, discombobulated schemes, Gabriel was a non-factor of little yards and enjoyed little impact in comparison. How Matt Nagy incorporates Gabriel in his dynamic offense determines whether the Bears get “Turbo” or a sputter of exhaust fuel. Don’t be surprised if there are a bit of growing pains to start.

Finally, in terms of heralded youth, there weren’t many receivers as universally adored as Miller during the 2018 Draft process. The 24-year-old is a unique blend of jump-ball proficiency, toughness in the open field, and has a knack to prove his critics wrong. Proof in the form of Miller calling himself “the best receiver in his draft class” in a letter to the Player’s Tribune in April.

The knock with Miller here is how rapidly he adjusts to the rigors of pro football. How he recovers from a foot injury the Bears have been cautious with.

And how he lives up to the intensive expectations being placed upon him. Not every receiver is prepared to make an immediate impact at the highest level.

While Miller seems like someone that can transcend the mold, it’s far from a guarantee as he learns the intricacies of professional coverages and defensive backs.

The Bears are expecting monumental things from their revamped, acquired

wideouts in 2018. Aspects of their offense that should key a revival at Soldier Field.

Anything less than excellence, availability, and consistency puts Nagy’s offense on a slippery slope. R. Robert is your guy for all things Bears. Follow him on Twitter @RobertZeglinski.

Guilford wins regional baseball crown

By Jim Hagerty Reporter

ROCKFORD – This year was a good a time as any for the Guilford High School baseball team to win a Class 4A regional championship.

It’s only been 11 years.

A day after Max Klein pitched the Vikings to a 6-0 decision over NIC-10 champion East, Guilford clipped DeKalb 2-1 in the title game.

Guilford’s win came on a call DeKalb coach Dedric Wright argued to no avail.

With the game tied 1-1 in the bottom of the seventh inning, Guilford sent Klein to the plate with two outs and two runners on. Klein drilled a ground ball that hit shortshop Trey Roach in the chest before

he fired it to first.

Wright, along with the Barbs and their fans, believed the throw was in time, which would have sent the game into extra innings. Instead, Klein was safe, and Chris Pass scored from third base, giving Guilford (14-11) a Wednesday date with 22-7 Barrington in the McHenry Sectional.

Eric Nelson stuck out the first two Guilford batters in the seventh. Pass then scored on a single and stole second.

Nelson then intentionally walked and hit the next two Vikings to load the bases.

Indiana State University-bound Klein is expected to pitch in the sectionals.

This his first season with Guilford after three years next door at Christian Life

High School.

DeKalb finished the 2018 campaign 9-23.

In other local action, Huntley used a six-run fourth inning en route to an 8-0 blanking of Harlem Saturday in the Class 4A Belvidere North Regional.

Harlem advanced to the finals by edging Hampshire 5-4 in the semi-final contest.

Caleb Badgley cracked a two-run homer Friday as the Boylan Titans rolled past Rockford Christian 12-6 in the Class 3A semifinals and advanced to the championship against Stillman Valley.

Boylan grabbed a 2-0 lead in the top of the first in the title game. Andrew Wilhite answered for Stillman in the Cardinals’ half of the inning with a two-fun bomb

over the left-field fence. Boylan used a squeeze play in the third inning to make it 3-2. The Titans were one out away from the win in the seventh when Stillman evened things up on a bloop single. Stillman’s Adam Wenberg drove in the winning run in the eighth. Stillman Valley advances to the Sterling Sectional.

Freeport also powered its way to the 3A Genoa-Kingston Regional title by socking Genoa-Kingston 9-2 Friday. The Pretzels then gave Burlington Central a scare Saturday when they threatened to erase an 8-2 lead. It was not to be though as Burlington Central held on 8-7 to face Kaneland (21-8) in Sterling.

IceHogs’ season ends in Texas

By Jim Hagerty Reporter

AUSTIN, Texas – Last-second goals and tiebreakers seemed to define the AHL Western Conference Finals, so it seemed fitting that the series between the Rockford IceHogs and Texas Stars ended in dramatic, overtime fashion.

Unfortunately for Rockford, the IceHogs were on the losing end of sudden death Monday as they fell to the Stars 2-1 at H-E-B Center.

Rockford was just about to bow out of postseason action in regulation until Chris DiDomenico scored with just 1:34 left to tie the game at a goal apiece. DiDomenico grabbed an Adam Clendening pass at the top of the left circle fired a wrist shot Mike McKenna couldn’t handle. The goal gave

DiDomenico seven goals and 18 points in the playoffs, an IceHogs all-time franchise record. It also provided a boost of energy on the visitor’s bench, as Rockford knew what losing meant for the group that clawed its way fourth place in order to extend their season.

“We came hard in the third period,” coach Jeremy Colliton said. “We had a lot of guys find another level, and it took us to almost the end of the break. We really thought that we maybe had them.”

The IceHogs took the energy from the tying goal into the extra stanza and traded scoring chances with the Stars until eight seconds left to play. That’s when Colin Markison dug the puck out of the corner and found Hintz in the high slot. Hintz quickly beat Jeff Glass over the shoulder with to advance his club to

the Calder Cup Finals against the Toronto Marlies.

“It’s disappointing,” Colliton said. “We weren’t ready to be done. (We) played hard right to the end. But it was a tough game. (Texas) played well. But I am proud of how we worked and sorry that it’s over.”

Rockford’s postseason play was nothing short of a Cinderella story.

After backing into the playoffs as fourth seed, they proceeded to win seven straight games, sweeping No. 1 Chicago and Manitoba, who ran away with the Central Division all season. When they met Texas, Collin Delia was stopping everything that came near the Rockford the goal mouth. Then came a playoff ebb that saw Delia drop the first two games on the road.

Delia dropped the third game as the series came back to Rockford before Glass took over and won the next two. Glass finished the postseason with 106 saves, including the 38-stop outing in Game 6.

“This was a team that really came together once we finally got all the pieces from everywhere,” defenseman Adam Clendening said. “We played a couple games and realized we were going to do this for each other. Unfortunately, we fell a little short.”

The IceHogs beat the Stars three times during the 2017-18 regular season and finished 40-28-4-4 record. Their playoff mark was 9-1-0-3, dropping all three overtime contests to Texas in the conference finals. R.
