Kortman Gallery

Toss pillows become souvenirs of art in Kortman Gallery holiday group exhibition From Doc Slafkosky

J.R. Kortman Center for Design

Merchandising collectibles has been an integral part of the entertainment industry for decades. Iconic images appear on everything from T- shirts to lunch boxes.

The art world has become no exception to this concept. Images of great works of art appear on a myriad of souvenir merchandise by artists like Picasso, Van Gogh, Basquiat, Monet, and Haring, to name a few.

Kortman Gallery takes this idea of merchandising images of fine art as an inspiration for a new exhibition called “Pillow Talk: Souvenirs of Art,” a holiday group exhibition opening Friday, November 19th. The show presents original works of art along with their images reproduced on toss pillows. Twenty-six accomplished artists from Rockford and beyond are featured in this unique exhibit.

“A toss pillow makes a great ‘canvas’ for fairly accurately reproducing an image,” said Kortman Gallery director Doc Slafkosky. “The pillow becomes not only a unique keepsake, but a functional object that can be a cool home accent.”

Artists were invited to submit an existing piece or create a new work for this show.

“I usually work in ceramics,” says artist Lynn Fischer-Carlson. “The invitation inspired me to create a new abstract painting that I thought would look cool on a pillow” Rockford artist Drew Eurek, who creates paintings on large canvasses, submitted a piece for the exhibit. A detail of the large painting was captured and reproduced on a pillow.

“I’m really excited to be a part of this exhibit,” said Eurek. “It’s always intriguing to see your work applied to another medium and see it with a new and different perspective.”

“It’s always fun & interesting to see images of great artists like Picasso on mugs, calendars, plates, watches, playing cards, and yes, pillows, making fine art images widely accessible souvenirs” says Slafkosky. “So we thought it would be cool to present works of art by great local artists seen in the Kortman Gallery on pillows!”

“Being retailers, museum gift shops have always been of particular interest to us…the blending of art & commerce…and

has even influenced our buying for our store,” said Jerry Kortman co-owner of J.R. Kortman. “So this exhibit suits our store and gallery concept perfectly.”

Participating artists include Zoa Ace, Stephen Warde Anderson, Kelvin Candie, Lynn Fischer-Carlson, Molly Carter, Jesus Correa, John Deill, Ingrid Dohm, Drew Eurek, Brian Hierstein, Lisa Jimenez, Carrie Johnson, Etsuko Kobayashi, R. Scott Long, Jenny Mathews, Robin McCauley, Valerie Olafson, Isabella Onrubia, Rebecca Downing Pelley, Louis Recchia, Cherri Rittenhouse, JoanLee Stassi, Joe Tallman, Brett Whitacre, Kyle Wolf, and Betsy Youngquist.

Kortman Gallery opening reception for “Pillow Talk: Souvenirs of Art,” a holiday group exhibition is Friday, November 19th from 5:30 to 9pm. The gallery is located upstairs at J. R. Kortman Center for Design, 107 North Main Street in Downtown Rockford. The exhibit is free, and open to the public..

The exhibit will run though January 8th, 2022. For more information call 815-9680123 or visit www.jrkortman.com.

G. F. Handel’s “Messiah” Presented by Rockford Choral Union is Back After being canceled in 2020 because of Covid19, the Rockford Choral Union has begun rehearsals for its 196th and 197th performances of G. F. Handel’s “Messiah” at 3 pm Saturday and Sunday, November 27th and 28th at Emmanuel Lutheran Church, 920 3rd Ave., Rockford, IL. Featured this year are a new mezzo soprano, harpsichordist and organist. Three vocal soloists are returning from their 2019 appearances. All have Rockford area connections in their life histories.

Claudia Holen, who will sing as the mezzo soprano/alto soloist, is a Rockford native. She has music degrees from Boston Conservatory and Tufts University and has appeared in Boston Conservatory’s “Messiah” at Boston’s Old North Church. Her grandfather, Peter Thomas, of Rockford, currently sings with the Rockford Choral Union “Messiah”. Claudia has been singing in the Messiah somewhere since she was 11 years old and began singing in church with her grandfather at age 4.

The soprano soloist will be Susan Nelson from Princeton, IL. She has family ties to Rockford. She is a soloist with Music of the Baroque and the Lyric Opera and Grant Park Choruses of Chicago.

Rockford native Michael Day again will bring his marvelous tenor voice to this year’s RCU presentations.

Baritone soloist Nicholai Janitsky, originally from California but who now makes his home in Belvidere, sings with the Lyric Opera and has appeared with the Rockford Symphony.

Also featured this year will be Tim Anderson playing harpsichord and Trish Rooney playing the pipe organ. Both of these musicians are well knowin for their music skills in Rockford area churches.

Michael Beert will be in his third year as conductor.

The Messiah’s message remains a living testament to the One who came to bring hope and salvation to the whole world. Every Thanksgiving weekend since 1945 with the exception of 2020 the “Messiah” is given as a gift to the Rockford area community. It is one of the most performed works in the classical genre. This oratorio in three parts, which was written in the operatic form of the time without staging and actors, is the story of the Messiah/Redeemer with a mix of 27 arias and recitatives and17 choruses with full Baroque orchestra.

Part One is the prophesy and promise of the coming Redeemer. Part two deals with the life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Part three completes the story of death with resurrection from the dead, and thanks for the victory over death and the gloriication of the Redeemer.

Handel was able to adapt the oratorio form to to express the ideas of religious fervor and faith so strongly held during the reigns of George I and II, Handel uses some of the music from his operas adapting them for this work by using words from the King James Version of both Old and New Testaments of the Bible. King George II was so moved by the music and the message at its irst performance that he rose to his feet for the “Hallelujah Chorus”, an act which many attribute to the still done tradition of standing when this chorus is sung.

Choral Union members, all of whom volunteer their time for the seven rehearsals and two performances are motivated to present this work because of their love of singing and presenting this story of the Messiah, Jesus Christ.

Admission is free, and a voluntary offering will be taken at intermission to help defray the costs of the concerts. Free parking is available in the immediate church area. This year due to requirements of the Winnebago County Health Department, all attendees will be required to wear masks which will be made available at the door at no charge.

Durbin calls for Garland to remove federal prisons director

By Michael Balsamo Associated Press

WASHINGTON (AP) — The chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee demanded Tuesday that Attorney General Merrick Garland immediately fire the director of the beleaguered federal Bureau of Prisons after an Associated Press investigation detailing serious misconduct involving correctional officers.

Sen. Dick Durbin’s demand came two days after the AP revealed that more than 100 Bureau of Prisons workers have been arrested, convicted or sentenced for crimes since the start of 2019. The AP investigation also found the agency has turned a blind eye to employees accused of misconduct and has failed to suspend officers who themselves had been arrested for crimes.

Durbin took particular aim at Director Michael Carvajal, who has been at the center of the agency’s myriad crises.

Under Carvajal’s leadership, the agency has experienced a multitude of crises from the rampant spread of coronavirus inside prisons and a failed response to the pandemic to dozens of escapes, deaths and critically low staffing levels that have hampered responses to emergencies.

Carvajal was appointed by then-Attorney General William Barr but Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco said recently that she still had confidence in him despite the many serious issues during his tenure. The AP reported in June that senior officials in the Biden administration had been weighing whether to oust him. He is one of the few remaining holdovers from the Trump administration.

“Director Carvajal was handpicked by former Attorney General Bill Barr and has overseen a series of mounting crises, including failing to protect BOP staff and inmates from the COVID-19 pandemic, failing to address chronic understaffing, failing to implement the landmark First Step Act, and more,” Durbin said in a statement. “It is past time for Attorney General Garland to replace Director Carvajal with a reform-minded Director who is not a product of the BOP bureaucracy.”

Two-thirds of the criminal cases against Justice Department personnel in recent years have involved federal prison workers, who account for less than

one-third of the department’s workforce.

Of the 41 arrests this year, 28 were of BOP employees or contractors. The FBI had just five. The Drug Enforcement Administration and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives each had two.

The AP investigation also detailed how the Bureau of Prisons allowed an official at a federal prison in Mississippi, whose job it was to investigate misconduct of other staff members, to remain in his position after he was arrested on charges of stalking and harassing fellow employees. That official was also allowed to continue investigating a staff member who had accused him of a crime.

And in the last week, two inmates have escaped from the custody of the Bureau of Prisons, marking at least 36 escapes within the last 22 months.

“We have a new Administration and a new opportunity to reform our criminal justice system,” Durbin said. “It’s clear that there is much going wrong in our federal prisons, and we urgently need to fix it. That effort must start with new leadership.”

Separately on Tuesday, the Justice Department’s inspector general found

that the Bureau of Prisons had stalled the development of more than 30 agency policies because agency officials have been refusing to meet with the union representing prison workers for in-person policy negotiations, as required under a contract.

About half of the policies that have stalled for the last 20 months were created or revised in response to the First Step Act, a bipartisan criminal justice overhaul signed during the Trump administration and aimed at encouraging inmates to participate in programs aimed at reducing recidivism — which could let them out of prison earlier — easing mandatory minimum sentences and giving judges more discretion in sentencing.

The inspector general found that the Bureau of Prisons has not given credit to any of the about 60,000 federal inmates who have completed those programs because the agency hasn’t finalized its procedures or completed the policy negotiations with the union. The watchdog also found that the failure to negotiate has delayed the implementation of 27 recommendations from the inspector general’s office.

China–US Talks

Xi-Biden talks raise hope for better ties but strains remain

By Ken Moritsugu and Aamer Madhani Associated Press

BEIJING (AP) — China on Tuesday welcomed a virtual meeting between President Xi Jinping and U.S. President Joe Biden as raising hopes for better relations, while the U.S. was more muted on the talks as the world’s two biggest powers sought to ratchet down more than a year of tensions.

The leaders appeared to put aside the language of acrimony in their first formal meeting since Biden took office. Xi greeted the U.S. leader as his “old friend,” and Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Zhao Lijian said the exchange was candid and constructive.

“If China-U.S. relations cannot return to the past, they should face the future,” Zhao said, calling the meeting “conducive to increasing positive expectations ... for U.S.-China relations.”

However, both sides held firm to their positions on the issues that divide Washington and Beijing, with Xi warning that the U.S. and Taiwan are playing with fire over the self-governing island that China considers part of its territory.

The two nations were aiming to end a sharp deterioration in relations that accelerated under former U.S. President Donald Trump and had festered since Biden became president in January. The video conference, which lasted more than three hours, took place Tuesday morning in Beijing and Monday evening in Washington.

Both Biden and Xi seemed determined to lower the temperature in what for both sides is their most significant — and frequently turbulent — relationship on the global stage.

“As I’ve said before, it seems to me our responsibility as leaders of China and the United States is to ensure that the competition between our countries does not veer into conflict, whether intended or unintended,” Biden told Xi at the start of the meeting.

The White House set low expectations for the meeting, and no major announcements were made. Still, White House officials said the two leaders had a substantive exchange.

Xi echoed Biden’s cordial tone in his opening remarks, saying, “China and the United States need to increase communication and cooperation.”

The positive tone sets an example for officials in both countries to try to identify common ground rather than find fault with each other, whether on trade, climate change, or geopolitical

issues such as Afghanistan and North Korea, said Wang Huiyao, president of the Center for China and Globalization, a think tank in Beijing, “I see this dialogue as a stabilizer of the bilateral relation,” he said. “I don’t expect this one summit to bring us back to the good old days, but certainly it stops the downward spiral.”

The two leaders had an extended discussion on Taiwan, the U.S. said.

Tensions have heightened as China has recently dispatched a growing number of fighter jets toward the island, while the U.S. and its allies sail warships though the Taiwan Strait.

Xi blamed the tensions on Taiwan seeking U.S. support to achieve independence and some on the American side using Taiwan to contain China, a Chinese statement on the meeting said.

“Such moves are extremely dangerous, just like playing with fire. Whoever plays with fire will get burnt,” the statement said.

Chinese military forces held exercises last week near Taiwan in response to a visit by a U.S. congressional delegation to the island.

The White House said Biden reiterated the U.S. will abide by its longstanding “One China” policy, which recognizes Beijing as the government of China but allows informal relations and defense ties with Taipei. Biden also made clear the U.S. “strongly opposes unilateral efforts to change the status quo or undermine peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait,” a White House statement said.

It said that Biden again raised concerns about China’s human rights practices and made clear that he sought to “protect American workers and industries from (China’s) unfair trade and economic practices.” The two also spoke about regional challenges, including North Korea, Afghanistan and Iran.

The meeting could put ties on a more stable footing in the near term, but the two countries have yet to address the long-term structural challenges in their relationship, said Paul Haenle, a former U.S. official and China expert at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace.

“This really was just an opportunity for the two leaders to make clear their intentions and priorities and concerns about their relationship and to begin really to set the terms of what is a new era in U.S.-China relations,” he said.

The U.S. president was joined in the Roosevelt Room for the video call by

Secretary of State Antony Blinken and a handful of aides. Xi, for his part, was accompanied in the grand East Hall of the Great Hall of the People by a number of advisers.

The high-level diplomacy had a touch of pandemic Zoom meeting informality as the two leaders waved to each other once they saw one another on the screen.

Biden would have preferred to meet Xi in person, but the Chinese leader has not left his country since the start of the coronavirus pandemic.

Both leaders gave nods to their history with the other. Biden noted that the two have spent an “awful ... lot of time” speaking to each other over the years, and have never walked away “wondering what the other man is thinking.”

Xi, who referred to Biden as his “old friend” when the then-vice president visited China in 2013, seemed interested in reviving the earlier days of their rela-

tionship, saying, “I am very happy to see my old friend.”

But the public warmth has cooled now that both are heads of state. Biden bristled in June when asked by a reporter if he would press his old friend to cooperate with a World Health Organization investigation into the coronavirus origins.

Despite the tensions, there have been moments of progress in recent months.

Last week, the two countries pledged at U.N. climate talks in Glasgow, Scotland, to speed up action to rein in climate-damaging emissions.

The White House has said it views cooperation on climate change as something the two nations should cooperate on despite their differences on other issues.

“None of this is a favor to either of our countries — what we do for one another — but it’s just responsible world leadership,” Biden told Xi. “You’re a major world leader, and so is the United States.”

Growing pawpaw trees

BY GRANT MCCARTY CONTRIBUTOR

The pawpaw tree, our largest native fruit tree, has seen a bit of a resurgence in interest the last few years at our University of Illinois Extension o�ce.

As backyard and commercial growers are looking to grow fruit trees, it has become one that many ask us about. While the trees can do well in our region, it is a fruit that I do encourage you to taste before you decide on planting.

The pawpaw (Asimina triloba) is within the custard apple family. In Illinois, pawpaws are fairly common in the forested

areas of central and southern Illinois though more recent varieties are suitable for northern Illinois. Most all members of this plant family are in the tropics and the tree has a palm-like appearance to it. These trees reach maturity at about 15 to 20 feet and do well in partial shade to full sun.

One of the unique features of the pawpaw tree is their tiny, indiscrete flowers that appear before the tree leafs out in the spring. These 1-1 ½ inch flowers are maroon to purple-brown in color where they stay open for a month after emerging mid-April. These flowers give o� a scent similar to rotting meat which

attracts their main pollinators of flies and beetles. You will probably not be able to smell this scent as it is fairly faint.

Fruits of the pawpaw are 3-6 inches long that appear in clusters of 2-9 on the tree. They have a creamy custard like texture with a flavor that reminds people of banana, papaya, mango, apple, or mixture of many of these. Their green skin is very soft which makes them unsuitable for long-term storage as they usually have a short-shelf life of 2-3 days.

Pawpaw fruit is best harvested when it falls from the tree. If you pick the fruit from the tree, you may limit its flavor and

sugar. When you cut open a pawpaw, you will notice very large black-brown seeds which are very di�cult to remove from the fruit pulp.

In order to have pawpaw fruit, you need two di�erent varieties for proper cross-pollination. Some varieties that are recommended include ‘Convis’, ‘Davis’, ‘Overlees’, ‘Wells’, ‘Prolific’, and ‘Shenandoah’. By planting your pawpaw trees in spring 2022, you should have your first pawpaw fruit sometime in 2025.

Government actions on climate change

BY DRS. ROBERT & SONIA VOGL

ILLINOIS RENEWABLE ENERGY ASSOCIATION CONTRIBUTORS

Actions within the State of Illinois and at the federal level are seen as giving a boost to clean energy interests and e�orts to fight climate change. However actions at the international level are viewed with concern regarding their ability to limit climate change in a timely fashion.

Illinois enacted a comprehensive clean energy package this past September, passed by the Illinois General Assembly after finding sufficient agreement between competing groups of clean energy groups, utilities, labor unions, env i r on ment a l a nd s o c i a l ju st ic e advocates.

It established a statewide clean energy goal of 100% by 2050 with an interim goal of 50% renewable energy by 2040.

It calls for phasing out coal and natural gas power plants by 2045 and provides funding to keep its nuclear power plants operating. It also includes funding for developing a workforce to support the energy transition.

On the federal level the recently passed

a $1.2 trillion infrastructure bill is primarily targeted at funding roads and bridges and major infrastructure projects.

It does not focus on cleaner energy but some of the components include both environmental and energy aspects. It includes upgrading the drinking water infrastructure to improve access to clean water. Some funds will go to cleaning up Superfund and Brownfield sites, reclaiming abandoned mines and capping orphaned gas wells. Additional funds are directed at rebuilding and extending the electric grid, bringing more renewable energy sources to the marketplace and upgrading public transportation including high speed rail service. Funds are also available to expand the EV charging station network across the state.

On the global level the current COP26 sessions have often disappointed scientists advocating for cleaner energy sources and reductions in climate changing gases. In an article in the Tyee Michael Harris, an investigative journalist, expressed the fear that a lack of global action may doom us all. He used the analogy of the failure of Canadian leaders

to protect the Grand Banks Northern Cod stock even though they were warned by scientists of the imminent collapse of the fishery due to overfishing to illustrate his concern about failing to implement scientific understandings regarding climate change.

The Department of Fisheries and Oceans developed a mathematical model incorporating catch data that relied on self-reporting data from fishermen that either underreported or misreported it. Using the flawed data, the model predicted the remaining fish stock was robust enough to grow the cod population.

The lack of accurate data and the desire to meet socioeconomic goals instead of conservation goals led to the collapse of a renewable resource and devastated the economy of Newfoundland.

With the cod fishery collapse caused by relying on flawed data, Harris turned his attention to an investigation developed by a team of reporters at the Washington Post.

In it they claimed that countries around the world are massively underreporting their true greenhouse gas emissions.

The estimated gap between declared and

actual emissions will not limit global warming to 1.5°C by 2100.

One example of how some countries underreport their carbon emissions is by claiming that the trees within in their territories are credited with absorbing an exaggerated amount of their carbon emissions. The UN rules rely on self-reporting on carbon emissions without outside verification.

Harris’s concern 30 years after the cod fishery collapsed based on flawed data is that the carbon emissions data supporting national pledges is also flawed. If they are, global e�orts to curb climate change will also fail.

With the COP26 meetings coming to a close we should have a clearer picture if global actions are consistent with the science.

In spite of uncertainties surrounding international e�orts incentives exist both in Illinois and nationally to facilitate a transition to cleaner energy sources. It is important to make e�ective use of them in our personal lives and in our communities.

ROCKFORD ROCKED INTERVIEWS

Catching up with Yes bassist Billy Sherwood

BY GARY HILL CONTRIBUTOR

Billy Sherwood might be known as the current bass player for Yes, but his musical career and heritage run deeper within the band, and outside of it. I got to talk with him about Yes’ new album “The Quest,” the late Chris Squire and much more.

Gary Hill: For those who don’t follow Yes as closely as I do, your presence in the band as the bass player might seem out of the blue. From working behind the scenes, to being on the edges of the stage during the “Talk” tour, joining the band for a while after that, including on the “Open Your Eyes” album to being picked by your friend and colleague Chris Squire as the person to fill his shoes in Yes, you’ve really got quite a history with the band over the years in various capacities. How did you originally get connected with Yes way back when?

Billy Sherwood: I was sought out by Chris Squire after he heard the demos for my album World Trade which had its roots in progressive rock. Back then people said I sounded like a combination of Jon Anderson and Sting. At the time “Yes West” as it was called, was without a lead singer, as Jon Anderson was working with what was called “Anderson, Bruford, Wakeman and Howe.” Yes was courting me very aggressively to become the lead singer, and, while I was flattered, I knew in my heart that was not something that I wanted to do. I did remain in the Yes-sphere in more of a writing and production capacity at that point. That is how and where it all began back in 1988/89. Yes became part of my career from there forward.

GH: Your time in Yes is far from your only musical project. In fact, it might be seen as the tip of the iceberg. Can you run-down some of the things you’ve been involved in over the years. And, yes, I know that’s a daunting task, but again, a lot of people reading this are probably not as familiar with your career as I am.

BS: I wanted to do more than be just a musician in the music business so I learned how to become an audio engineer, producer. In 1994 I produced a Grammy nominated album, Paul Rogers’ “Muddy Water Blues” - My first production ever.

This opened the door for me as a producer, and I went on to work with artists and bands such as Motörhead, Ratt, Air Supply, Asia, Dangerous Toys, John Wetton, Jack Russell, Toto and a host of other bands too many to mention. There was also a string of tribute records which featured various A-list artists, one of which was a re-imagined version of “The Wall” by Pink Floyd which featured, if memory serves, about 40 amazing musicians and singers

from the progressive rock community. Yes was another band I produced around 1996, the record “Keys to Ascension II.” GH: YES have a new album coming out, “The Quest.” Was writing and recording that album an unusual experience for the band in the era of Covid, or given the fact that the members of the group live all over the globe, was it sort of business as usual?

BS: Due to Covid and the lockdown etcetera, the writing on this record was done via file share. Steve (Howe - guitarist), Jon (Davison - singer) and Geo� (Downes - keyboards) were in the UK. Alan (White - drummer) and myself were in the States. Song ideas we tossed around and formulated under the watchful eye of Steve Howe who was in charge of production for this new record GH: You may not have been in the band for their whole run, but you, like myself, grew up as a huge fan of the band, so you can also see it from that perspective. How does “The Quest” fit into the legacy of Yes albums for you?

BS: It’s simply another Yes album in the long list of Yes albums. Each Yes album that is created reflects the time in era and feeling of the moment, and I think this album reflects that same concept. I enjoy the entire catalog without prejudice of any of the records as a fan. As an artist, band member I’m very proud of all the records I’ve been involved with.

GH: Do you have any favorite songs from the album at this point, or is it too soon to distance yourself enough?

BS: I don’t really have a favorite per se. I enjoy the entire record as a whole GH: I’m guessing Covid has definitely altered the options for shows for the last year and a half. Are there tour plans?

BS: We have a US tour for March 2022 and after that we go to Europe in May. I’m very much looking forward to that GH: As I mentioned earlier, you and Chris Squire were very good friends, too.

Can you share some recollections of your friend - some moments that stand out for you, perhaps a funny story, a shining moment, whatever you are comfortable with sharing.

BS: Chris was one-of-a-kind. There are so many stories and so many moments it’s hard to pick just one. The most meaningful moment ever in our relationship was the day that he called to ask me to take his place - something I never imagined would happen in a million years. I don’t take it lightly and I try my best to live up to that responsibility. I would be lying if I said it didn’t bother me when I read some of these “fan” comments saying that you should stop without Chris Squire in the band.

That is exactly the opposite of what Chris wanted. We spoke about it at length - how he wanted Yes to continue, thrive and to move into the future. Knowing that in my heart and feeling his presence in my soul as I play the music live, all I can say is I will honor his wish and carry-on in Yes. I’m trying to do my best to honor his legacy and, just as he wished, push forward into Yes future GH: We should talk about Arc of Life. For those who haven’t heard about it, what can you tell me about that project? How has the reception to that one been? Are there plans in the works for more from Arc of Life?

BS: It is a project/band that started quite by accident by virtue of Jon Davison and myself writing songs in the back of a bus that we were sharing on a Yes tour. What started as just a fun song-writing project evolved into the band that we have now called “Arc of Life”. We plan to play live as soon as schedules permit and Covid notwithstanding. The reception has been

very good. Rooted in progressive rock, it also has its simpler pop forms, if you will.

But, that said, it expands as the record develops. The songs become a bit more complex and longer in their arrangements and form. We look forward to making more Arc of Life music in the future and releasing more records.

GH: So, what else do you have in the works and upcoming?

BS: I’m always working on various things in the studio with various artists as well as pursuing my own solo project, and so I have a new solo project that I’m nearly finished with called “Pushing into the Wind”...also working on a new Prog Collective record as we speak.

GH: Closing thoughts?

BS: Thank you for having me for this interview, and I wish everyone out there well. Be safe and just looking forward to seeing everyone again on tour.

8 Helpful Tips for Stroll on State Rockford Area CVB

Stroll on State is almost here! If you’re planning to attend this festive event presented by Illinois Bank & Trust, here are eight tips that will help your experience be the best it can be this year!

1. Parking? Never fear, shuttle buses are here!

On-street parking, parking decks and surface parking lots will be available as posted. There also will be three Remote Parking Lots with free shuttle bus transportation, sponsored by Rockford Mass Transit District, again this year at the YMCA, 200 Y Boulevard (handicapped accessible paratransit buses are available); Forest City Church, 1280 S. Alpine Road; and Crusader Clinic (1200 W. State St.).

Shuttle buses run continuously from 1:30 – 9:30 p.m.

2. ATMs are spread throughout the Stroll on State grounds Illinois Bank & Trust is providing ATMs at several locations on the Stroll on State grounds for your convenience. You can find the ATMs at both Frosty’s Merry Market locations, Davis Park, near the Hot Chocolate Express, and more. View the Stroll on State map at StrollOnState.com to see all locations.

3. Stay connected on social media Make sure you use the hashtag #strollonstate and tag @gorockford on your social media channels! New this year - you can show your love for Stroll on State by using our custom-made Snapchat filter.

4. Don’t miss the classic attractions In 2021, the main Stroll event grounds will be along State Street in downtown Rockford bordered by Jefferson, Church, Chestnut and Third Streets while also

The popular Hot Chocolate Express will be at two locations, in Davis Park and next to MovieLand, sponsored by Xfinity, which features a special recipe hot chocolate with sprinkles of marshmallows.

6. Sky Lights Fireworks Show Sky Lights Fireworks, sponsored by Pierce Distribution, will once again light up the skies of downtown Rockford, except this time they will be launched from the Jefferson Street Bridge at 8 p.m.! Viewers will be able to see the fireworks from anywhere in the festival if they can see the Jefferson Street Bridge. This change will allow for more spacing while the skies burst with color.

5. Three Tree Lightings at three different times One of the most popular moments of years past – the Tree Lighting Ceremony – will take place at three different locations and at different times.

At 5 p.m. a tree lighting ceremony will take place at the Silver Bell Stage and Tree, sponsored by Accuride, at Eddie Green Place on the corner of 1st and E. State St. Then at 6 p.m. the Rockford City Tree, sponsored by the Northwestern Illinois Building Trades, will be lighted at Davis Park.

Elsewhere in the park, there will be a stage with performances, hot chocolate and s’mores, fire pits and adult beverages.

Rudolph’s Reindeer Village, sponsored

by Mercyhealth, will once again be created in Davis Park. A couple of reindeer who power Santa’s sleigh will be there to enjoy the winter wonderland. There will even be

a special appearance with Ana and Kristof with their special reindeer friends.

Davis Park will also be home to Lollipop Lane, sponsored by UW Health, where holiday decorations will fill the area and make for great photo ops!

8. Safety is our priority To ensure a safe return to Stroll on State, we have worked closely with the Winnebago County Health Department and the City of Rockford. To minimize transmission of Covid-19 and to comply with event industry best practices several updates have been made for this year’s event including: a larger footprint, multiple tree lighting ceremonies, a new time and location for fireworks, Santa pop-up visits, indoor and outdoor Letters to Santa mailbox locations, requiring masks or face coverings for all indoor locations, additional space between vendors at outdoor markets and hand sanitizing stations located throughout the event, among other enhancements.

ARIES

Your mind will run wild with ideas. You’ll start all sorts of projects without neces­ sarily finishing them. You’ll also suggest a number of activities to your loved ones.

At work, a certain task will take longer than expected.

TAURUS

Stress will drain your energy. It’s im­ portant to rest, but you might also need to take steps to adapt your lifestyle for the better. Among other things, you may want to take up a practice of a more spiritual nature.

GEMINI

You’ll enjoy a fairly active social life.

Even if you want some alone time this week, there will always be someone around to break your isolation and put a smile on your face. Let the changes you experience guide rather than hin­ der you.

At work, you’ll be in charge of an im­ portant meeting or an event that brings a lot of people together. You’ll be able to combine work with play, and you can expect a fun atmosphere at the office.

You’ll be more efficient in a relaxed environment.

SCORPIO

You’re able to handle any emergency that comes up. This is an ability that will eventually pay off at work. As for your love life, it’s the little things that show how deep your feelings are for one an­ other.

CAPRICORN

You’ll need to be patient with a family member. You might be inspired to get out the holiday decorations and give your home a deep clean. The idea of mo­ ving could become a real possibility.

AQUARIUS

You’ll need to travel a lot, either for work or personal reasons. You’ll be able to resolve a conflict that’s dragged on for a long time by speaking up. Avoid criticizing your significant other for sim­ ply being clumsy.

You won’t bite your tongue this week, and speaking up could get you into your boss’ good graces.
