Special Edition | Sunshine Week 2015

A media conspiracy that’s good for you By Eric Newton Senior Adviser John S. and James L. Knight Foundation

ach spring for 10 years now, a vast media conspiracy has rolled across the hills and plains of this nation. Journalists of every stripe – cartoonists to commentators to hard news reporters – have been in on it. And not just journalists, but politicians, educators and librarians, as well as members of nonprofits and civic groups. What’s the conspiracy? It’s called Sunshine Week, and it is built around the birthday of James Madison, the father of the Bill of Rights. This year, the week is March 15-21. The agenda: to brazenly promote your right to know. Open government, we argue, only works when public information flows freely. As Madison himself explained nearly two centuries ago: “Knowledge will forever govern ignorance; and a people who mean to be their own governors must arm themselves with the power which knowledge gives.” Grants from the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation, where I work, launched and have helped sustain Sunshine Week. At the start, in a speech to roughly 100 open government advocates, I said the foundation could support them only if they could find a way to work together. They did. After a decade, can we say that Sunshine Week is working? Yes. And no. Search Google and you’ll see hits tripling over the years. That’s the work of the American Society of News Editors. Millions of people read stories about open government. New openness laws pass. Cities, states and the feds issue proclamations. This year’s California bill officially recognizes Sunshine Week as “a celebration of the public’s commitment to openness and an exploration of what open government means in a technology-enhanced future.” Experts like Rick Blum of the Sunshine in Government Initiative testify about how freedom of information saves lives, of how it tells us, for example, when our Marines have been issued body armor with life-threatening flaws. Today, says Steven Aftergood of the Federation of American Scientists, we have more access than ever to official information about topics like intelligence spending and the size of the U.S. nuclear arsenal. Overall, access seem much better than in the day after the 9-11 attacks, when public documents vanished from Web sites like so many fireflies blinking out. Unfortunately, examples also abound of closed government, of public information held hostage. This week, major news organizations are reporting that too many government agencies are trying to block the public’s access

to its own information by charging exorbitant fees. Or turning our information over to businesses that are not transparent. Or muddying up freedom with restrictions that display an ignorance of what freedom really means. Secrecy is a bipartisan proposition. Hillary Clinton’s hidden emails? George W. Bush did the same kind of thing. All over Washington, documents are stamped “classified” for no good reason. Governments big and small are affected. Virginia, by not paying attention to just one of its own data files (according to Waldo Jaquith of U.S. Open Data) was leaving millions of dollars in revenue uncollected. In Maryland, Fredrick County councilman Kirby Delauter went so far as to threaten to sue if his name was printed in the newspaper. So the battle continues. Always there have been those who would hide the truth and seek personal advantage in the darkness. We can’t stop fighting for sunshine because they won’t stop fighting against it. In the end, the American experiment will fail unless the people who run this country -– us -– know nearly as much as the people who work for us — our employees, the government. But is sunshine by itself enough? Madison said, we must “arm ourselves with knowledge.” We can’t just know that our government disregards its own Freedom of Information laws. We have to do something about it. This year, during Sunshine Week, consider joining us at sunshine events in your community or online. Yours are the laws being broken. Yours is the information being stolen. Yours are the truths being bludgeoned. In the long run, your participation is the only thing that really matters. If you see public information go into hiding, complain, complain, complain. It’s your right. Eric Newton is senior adviser to the president of the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation in Miami, Fla.

Sunshine Week 2015

Cost Prohibitive

Big bills to view public documents discourage public access By Michael Felberbaum The Associated Press

RICHMOND, Va. – The public’s right to see government records is coming at an ever-increasing price, as authorities set fees and hourly charges that often prevent information from flowing. Though some states have taken steps to limit the fees, many have not. In Kansas, Gov. Sam Brownback’s office told The Wichita Eagle that it would have to pay $1,235 to obtain records of email and phone conversations between his office and a former chief of staff who is now a prominent statehouse lobbyist. Mississippi law allows the state to charge hourly for research, redaction and labor, including $15 an hour simply to have a state employee watch a reporter or private citizen review documents. The Associated Press dropped a records request after Oregon State Police demanded $4,000 for 25 hours of staff time to prepare, review and redact materials related to the investigation of the director of a boxing and martial arts regulatory commission. Whether roadblocks are created by authorities to discourage those seeking information, or simply a byproduct of bureaucracy and tighter budgets, greater costs to fulfill freedom of information requests ultimately can interfere with the public’s right to know. Such costs are a growing threat to expanding openness at all levels of government, a cornerstone of Sunshine Week. The weeklong open government initiative is celebrating its 10th anniversary beginning March 15. “It’s incredibly easy for an agency that doesn’t want certain records to be exposed to impose fees in the hopes that the requester is dissuaded,” said Adam Marshall, a fellow with the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press, which sponsors Sunshine Week with the American Society of News Editors. “If the people don’t know what’s going on, either because they don’t have direct access to information or because the media isn’t able to provide them with access to information about what their government is doing, it’s impossible for the people to exercise any sense of informed self-governance.” Fees can be charged for searching for records, making copies, paying a lawyer to redact certain parts of the information or hiring technical experts to analyze the data. In most cases, the fees imposed are at the agency’s discretion; those agencies sometimes waive the costs or requesters can appeal them to an administrative board. But in other cases, Marshall said news organizations and private citizens are faced with the “ridiculous choice” of weighing the costs and benefits of being a responsible public steward.

In Florida, the Broward County Sheriff’s Office told Jason Parsley, executive editor of the South Florida Gay News, last year that it would cost $399,000 and take four years to provide every email for a one-year period that contained certain derogatory words for gays. The reason, according to officials: The email system could not perform a keyword search of all accounts at once. Parsley says he has talked to computer experts who disagree and say a modern email system could handle the request easily, but he doesn’t have the money or the time to take the matter to court. “It would be their word against ours,” he said. “Even if we could pay that amount, it would be four years. What good would that do me at that point, anyway?”

If the goal was to keep him from learning that deputies used such terms, authorities won, Parsley said. Broward County Sheriff ’s Lt. Eric Caldwell said the department was not trying to be evasive. He said each employee’s email is stored on a tape and kept at a remote archive facility. It has to be retrieved physically and then converted into a Microsoft Outlook file, which can then be searched. “If we have it, we have to provide it,” he said. “The reason this cost so much is that this person had a very vague request.” Virginia law allows reasonable charges not to exceed the actual cost of accessing, duplicating, supplying, or searching for the requested records. But to get electronic copies of Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe’s daily calendar for nearly 10 months, officials told the AP that it would need to pay about $500 upfront. That’s because McAuliffe’s counsel said staff would have had to search, review and possibly redact certain calendar entries. Meanwhile, in California, daily calendar en-

tries for Gov. Jerry Brown are routinely provided at no cost to the AP. Another example: Iowa’s newly created Public Information Board ruled in December that the state Department of Corrections could charge the Marshall Project, a nonprofit that reports on the criminal justice system, $2,020 for access to its federally mandated reports on sexual violence against inmates. Iowa officials said it would take an employee 108 hours at $15 per hour to review, redact and copy 2,672 records, plus a 15-cents-per-page charge for copies. Some larger states charge nothing or just a nominal fee for access to those reports. “I think there’s a genuine effort to be responsive, but there is a higher cost to fulfill these requests,” said Dan Bevarly, acting executive director of the National Freedom of Information Coalition, a nonprofit based at the University of Missouri-Columbia that works to protect the public’s right to open government. “There are other times where there’s a deliberate effort to circumvent the system.” Lawmakers in several states have proposed or passed laws seeking to address those fees. Michigan lawmakers recently approved a law mandating that agencies cannot charge more than 10 cents a page for documents. Further, people can file a lawsuit if they believe they are being overcharged and can try to get the amount reduced. If a court agrees, it must assess $1,000 in punitive damages. In February, Maryland lawmakers introduced a bill that would establish a compliance board to handle complaints and cap the fees agencies can charge for public documents. Yet other states are considering actions that could restrict access or deter those making requests. Agencies can be allowed to levy charges, says Toby Nixon, president of the Washington Coalition for Open Government, “but they should not be making a profit off of it.” Following complaints from Tennessee’s school boards association, a proposal in the state Legislature would allow agencies to charge for anything more than one hour of time fulfilling records requests. Current law allows them to charge for copies, but not for the time they spend collecting and redacting documents. A legislative analysis of a similar proposal that failed in 2011 estimated that local governments would collect about $1.6 million in fees under the change. “If someone can’t afford the fees, they can’t see the records,” said Deborah Fisher, executive director of the Tennessee Coalition for Open Government. “There is nothing yet to safeguard against abuse by government officials who may want to block access by inflating fees.”

The quiet plan to sell off the National Forests

By Claire Moser

From ThinkProgress.org

A proposal to seize and sell off America’s national forests and other public lands could make its way into the House GOP’s budget resolution when it is announced this week. In a recent memo to the House Budget Committee, Rep. Rob Bishop (R-UT), chair of the House Natural Resources Committee, proposed that America’s public lands be transferred to state control. He then requested $50 million of taxpayer money to be spent to enable transfers to “start immediately.” The memo states that public lands “create a burden for the surrounding states and communities,” and “the solution is to convey land without strings to state, local, and tribal governments.” Bishop’s plan and similar proposals to give away America’s public lands are controversial. A majority of voters in those regions believe the proposals would likely result in states having to raise taxes, open prized recreation areas to drilling and mining, or sell lands to private interests to cover the substantial costs of management. Despite these concerns — and despite the fact that these proposals are extremely expensive, unpopular, and most importantly,unconstitutional — there is a strong likelihood that Rep. Bishop’s request will be included in the House GOP’s budget, thanks to intensive lobbying efforts by a handful of right wing politicians and special interest groups. As reported by E&E Daily, the American Lands Council (ALC), an organization founded by Utah state Rep. Ken Ivory (R), hired a lobbyist at the end of last year to “educate congressional lawmakers on the benefits of re-

linquishing federal lands to the states.” Federal lobbying disclosure forms show that the ALC paid the lobbyist, Michael Swenson, $150,000 for just three months of lobbying work. Swenson, whose other clients include a Utah mining company, has denied being paid the sum. He told E&E the lobbying disclosure form was a “mistake,” and that he was paid just $20,000 in the last quarter of 2014.

ALC’s lobbying payments have drawn additional scrutiny because the organization’s budget is dependent on taxpayer money, contributed by county governments in the West. According to the Center for Western Priorities (CWP), 47 county governments have spent a total of more than $219,000 for ALC membership. Most of these county governments receive substantial federal

grant money through the Payment in Lieu of Taxes Program (PILT), raising questions about whether American taxpayer dollars are being channeled to fund lobbying of the federal government. A federal law, known as the Byrd Amendment, prohibits the use of federal funds from a grant to be used for lobbying federal officials. A recent flood of state-level proposals to seize and sell off America’s public lands is the result, in part, of efforts by the Koch-backed American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC) to disseminate ‘model legislation’ to conservative lawmakers in Western states. The state of Utah is thus far the only state to have passed such a measure, however. In 2012, the Utah legislature passed a bill demanding public lands be transferred to state control by December 2014. The state plans to sue the federal government and is currently accepting proposals to launch a $2 million fight. Politicians in nine other states are also developing and advancing similar legislative proposals, supported by expensive taxpayer-funded studies. According to a CWP analysis, Western states have spent a total of $816,000 of taxpayer funds on such studies in recent years. Whether Rep. Bishop’s proposal makes it into the House GOP budget or not, the Congressman has made it clear that disposing of national forests and public lands will be one of his top priorities as chair. The House Republican majority is expected to release its 2016 budget resolution this week.

Unemployment down, job growth still slow By Shane Nicholson Managing Editor

ROCKFORD – The U.S. Department of labor announced last week that the country has reached its lowest level of unemployment since the early days of the Great Recession in April of 2008. The U.S. unemployment rate hit 5.5 percent as the 12 month streak of at least 200,000 new jobs continued, the longest such span in nearly 20 years according to Labor Secretary Thomas E. Perez. “The economic winds remained at our back February with the addition of 295,000 new jobs,” said Perez. “And for five years now – 60 uninterrupted months – private sector employment growth has continued unabated to the tune of more than 12 million jobs overall.” However job growth remains stagnant in Illinois as more and more people exit the workforce. Statewide saw a decrease of 7,000 jobs while the unemployment rate dropped to 6.1 percent for the month of January. According to the Illinois Policy Institute, the state is still 94,600 jobs behind from the beginning of the Great Recession. Locally the same trends prevail. While 3,227

jobs were added in the Rockford area during 2014 more than 6,300 people exited the workforce for a multitude of reasons. “I think it’s a factor of people choosing not to look for work and a large number of people entering retirement,” said Rockford City Administrator Jim Ryan. “Our labor force is around 159,429 people but that labor force is back down to 1990 levels.” Massive improvements in the local unemployment rate were offset by a shrinking labor force, said Ryan. “In you look at the end of the year date for 2014 our metro unemployment dropped from 12.4 percent to 7.5 which was the third largest decrease in the state,” Ryan said. “That’s good news but we still have one of the highest unemployment rates in Illinois.” Ryan said the labor force peaked in 2010 when the area saw over 170,000 employed, but the slow bleed from the labor force has strapped economic growth in the area. One side effect of the shrinking job pool has been a spike in the number of people relying on the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). “One-in-five people in Winnebago and Boone Counties are on SNAP,” said Ryan.

“That means a total of 70,813 people were on the program in February.” Locally, 20.5 percent of residents are currently receiving SNAP assistance against 15 percent statewide. Ryan said he felt that the area has the resources needed to improve its economic state, but that more attention needs to be paid to their implementation. “I think on the development side we have quite a few tools,” he said. “One of the issues that plagues our community is the lack of a skilled workforce. That’s where we need more efforts and creative funding to develop job skills.” Ryan says that improvements to transitioning students from high school to college and the work force will pay dividends but local business need to engage more proactively to improve the situation. “Our high schools moving to the academy model will help build partnerships with the private sector,” he continued, “but most of our funds are coming from state and federal sources. “We need a more diversified funding stream to push on.”

Are zombies the new vampires?

By Paula Hendrickson Television Columnist

emember when vampires were scary? Back before the likes of Angel and Spike became bad-boy love interests for Buffy, or before “The Vampire Diaries’” Salvatore brothers returned to Mystic Falls. Okay, some vampires are still scary, but thanks to Buffy’s cohorts and the popularity of the Twilight franchise it’s almost more likely for vampires today to be romantic heroes (with alternate sources of blood) than evil, blood-sucking villains. Even Bill and Eric of HBO’s “True Blood” showed their softer sides over the years. Perhaps the gentrification of vampires is part of the reason behind the growing popularity of zombies. AMC’s “The Walking Dead” — which is the top-rated cable program nearly every week a new episode airs — keeps viewers on the edge of their seats with a blend of suspense, great characters, big twists and horrific violence. All of those elements combined in last week’s shockingly gruesome death of a core character at the hands of walkers, which led to a truly visceral reaction among the show’s characters and viewers alike. But even zombies are showing their softer sides these days, like on BBC America’s “In the Flesh,” which reframes zombie-ism as a treatable illness called Partially Deceased Syndrome, or PDS. And last year Sundance aired the first season of the French TV series, “Les Revenants,” where long-dead people return to a small mountain town. Earlier this month, a faithful

English-language remake, translated to “The Returned,” began airing on A&E. Even ABC celebrated the undead with “Resurrection,” which aired its season two finale in January. This week, The CW added a dash of humor and fun to the zombie genre with “iZombie,” an engaging new show about a young med student, Liv (Rose McIver), who is accidentally turned into a walking, functioning, thinking zombie. She takes a job in a coroner’s office so she’ll have access to the human brains she now craves. As it turns out each brain she devours gives Liv insights to the decedent’s life, and death, making her a murder-solving savant. Like many CW shows, “iZombie” is based on a comic book, but it was developed into a series by Veronica Mars creator Rob Thomas. Yes, Liv and Veronica are both sharp-witted young blondes who solve crimes, but Veronica never had to pass her partially undead self off as fully human. David Anders – who perfected villainy as “Alias” bad guy Sark and coincidentally starred in a 2009 zombie movie called “The Revenant” — joins the fun as a fellow zombie in the “iZombie” pilot. Now that zombies on shows like “In The Flesh,” “The Returned” and “iZombie” are existing and working alongside living humans — like vampires before them — which horror creatures will become the new zombies?

Literary Hook Great River Road By Chris Swanberg Driving north in Iowa, the Great River Road before us, the March thaw sprinkling sunlight on blue icy patches of river, we pass bridges and dams where eagles spent the winter fishing.

By Todd Houston Exclusive to TRRT

RRI: Let’s talk about how you got involved in music and wanted to become a singer in a rock’n’roll band. I understand you have been at it since grade school. DC: I was exposed to music very early. Everyone on my mother’s side was musically talented and could either sing or play an instrument and their band would play at all the family gatherings. My mother is an excellent singer and when I was four I found my dad’s Elvis Presley records and right there I knew I wanted to be a singer. RRI: Did gospel music have an influence you early on? DC: Gospel music had a huge influence on my life when I was younger. I was raised going to a southern Baptist church when I was growing up so I was exposed to all the old gospel classics. I guess you could say I cut my teeth on those songs. RRI: What was the music scene around the Rockford area like in the 1980s and 90s? Were there a lot of clubs and venues to play at? DC: I remember having a lot of fun during the 80s and 90s but I also remember that being in a band didn’t pay very well. I guess it didn’t matter too much as it was mostly about having a good time. RRI: You are currently the lead singer in a popular area band called AudioDrive. You guys have done very well for yourselves and developed quite the following. What do you attribute the popularity of the band to? DC: Luck and hard work. We have worked very hard at what we do and put a lot of time into practicing. We are going on eight years together and it has definitely been a great ride. Our formula is do the songs that the girls want to dance to and everything else will fall in place! (laughs) RRI: It’s no secret that you have a great love and passion for the 80s band Journey. Rumor has it that you even moonlight as lead vocalist for a Journey tribute band out of Chicago when not performing with AudioDrive. Where and when can we see you perform? DC: Well actually I have two Journey tribute bands, one in Chicago named Arrival and one here in town named Raised on Radio. I also perform with the band Arra In Chicago (Their former lead singer was hired to replace Steve Walsh in the band Kansas.) so as you can see I keep myself very busy. RRI: What’s the largest crowd to date that you have played in front of? DC: I guess it would have to be the time Audiodrive played at the Metro Center at an IceHogs game. They had a stage set up on the second tier and we played before the game and at each intermission and then after the game. I remember the IceHogs were playing the Los Angeles farm team so the place was packed – I’d

say about 7,000. RRI: Let’s have some fun. I’m going to say a word or phrase and you respond with the first thing that pops into your head. Ready? Coronado Theater. DC: Jerry Seinfeld, 1992. RRI: The year 1985. DC: My first concert, Motley Crue at Alpine Valley. What a blast. RRI: Robin Zander. DC: One of my idols. RRI: The Pier in Beloit (former club). DC: I can’t tell those stories because I’m married. (laughs) RRI: Favorite album. DC: The first two Ozzy and Van Halen albums then maybe “Raised on Radio” by Journey. RRI: Favorite song to perform live. DC: The ones that really move people seem to be my favorites to sing. RRI: You have won “Best Male Vocalist” a few years in a row at the Rockford RAMI awards. Will you withdraw your name from the ballot this year so people don’t get sick of you or think “the fix is on”? DC: I’m up for it this year and would love to win it. After five years they stick you in the RAMI Hall of fame and you are no longer allowed to win. RRI: What’s next for Dan Curington? DC: Well I have a couple more months performing with Audiodrive. Then I will be moving on full time to perform in the Chicago market. I will still be performing in the Rockford area with my Journey tribute band Raised on Radio and possibly some select AudioDrive shows but yes, I am leaving AudioDrive. Just one more thing: I really appreciate you asking me to do this interview and thank you. Keep doing what you’re doing as its great for Rockford, Rockford music and the Rockford music fans.

Local Scene

CJ Campbell opens tour at Conveyer By Emily Sipiora Contributor

Independent Ear Records, a local record label, came together with artist CJ Campbell at Conveyor this pastweekend. The event included a reading from Campbell’s book, “The Zen of Beard Trimming,” live music by Ashton Blake and The Defeated Royals and live storytelling. The gathering was an official preview of Campbell’s “Love Will Not Be Defeated” tour, which will include a touring band and live readings across the Midwest. “ The Z en of B e ard Tr imming” is Campbell’s first novel, sold through the local publisher Zombie Logic Press. Copies are available at Phoenix Traders and Culture Shock. “Signing with Independent Ear back in January has been such a positive thing. They’ve been incredibly supportive with my vision for my craft – so much that they’ve asked me to come on officially on staff as the Director of Marketing and Community Engagement,” Campbell said. “My first project in my new role is trying to get the ‘Love Will Not Be Defeated’ tour funded through Kickstarter.” Campbell has big plans in store for the future. Alongside touring, he will be founding a Rockford storytelling foundation. Titled “The Screw City Storytellers Collective,” Campbell hopes to foster a community of friends that both tell and listen to stories. Campbell is adamant about storytelling as a craft and he hopes to share it with the Rockford community. “I am at an exciting and critical point in my career as an artist,” Campbell said. There will certainly be something to look forward to for storytelling in Rockford. Conveyer, an art gallery, school and production space, is located at 317 W. Jefferson St. For more information visit conveyer.co. < < < O r d e r Campbell’s debut book “The Zen of Beard Trimming” at zombielogicpress. com.

Drafts & Fare

Cademon offers old-time feel just a short hop away By Shane Nicholson Managing Editor

ake a quick cruise down Cherry Valley Road to Genoa and you’ll find one of the area’s best kept secrets offering up choice selections on tap. Cademon Brewing Company, 217 W. Main St., has taken over the space formerly occupied by the award-winning Prairie State Winery (since moved just across the street) and is continuing on its small-town tradition of producing top-quality products. Its copper-lined bar and cozy leather stools surrounded wagon wheel-sized tables make for a comfortable setting to enjoy a couple of their craft pints in while walking the historic downtown district. Having only opened its own doors last year, Cademon is nearing the end of a massive renovation as it prepares to broaden its distribution throughout the area. Sycamore-native Andrew “Cad” Norman, co-owner along with Brian “Demon” Matejka, was behind the bar the past weekend and I had a chance to ask him about Cademon’s choice brews and where the home-grown business is going next: TRRT: So give us the background of Cademon. What brought your brewery about? Norman: I started the process about three years ago. Originally it was something I wanted to open in Sycamore but there were building problems and a lot of red tape to go through. Unfortunately after going through an extensive process with the city we ended up losing our building. We ended up finding a new location and luckily enough the winery told us they were planning to move out of their production facility and they had an open spot for us. I did some research on Genoa, de-

cided it would be a good fit, and we went ahead with starting to open the store last June and we finally opened our doors in December. TRRT: How’s the support been from the local community? Norman: It’s been really great. We’ve had a lot of people coming in wanting to know what we’re all about, how we started, and we’ve been very happy with the response. We don’t do food; we want to focus on the beer. But we want to allow people that come in to sit and have a bite so we allow outside food in the bar. The Corner Grill (137 W. Main St.) will take orders over the phone and walk them down if you’re in the tap room. It benefits them, helps them generate a little more business, and we get to let our customers have something to eat while they’re enjoying our beers. TRRT: So what’s next on the horizon for Cademon? Norman: We’ve just scaled up production. When we originally opened we were making just 62 gallons to a batch and we had a total capacity of about 450 gallons. Now we make 250-to-500 gallons per batch and we can do about 3,000 gallons at a time. We’ve just started distributing to bars and we’re planning to expand to liquor stores. We actually started bottling our soda before our beer; there’s a lot more hurdles to cross to get the bottled beer out in stores. But our root beer will be hitting stores in the next month. Our beers are currently on tap in Dixon at Abbi’s Hideaway and PJ’s in Sycamore recently took delivery of their first keg (Cademon’s is also available at The Brass Tap in Orland Park). Now that we’ve expanded our capacity we’ve got a lot of really exciting beers in the pipeline. Check out Cademon Brewing Company at 217 W. Main St. in Genoa or on the web at Cademon.com.

FOIA lags behind

World passing the US by in strength of FOI laws By David Cullier Director, University of Arizona School of Journalism Freedom of Information Chairman, Society of Professional Journalists

S Open Government

Lawmakers continue attacks on government transparency

By Edwin Bender

Executive Director National Institute on Money in State Politics

ransparency in our elections, our government, and our democracy doesn’t just happen. It’s hard work. It takes funding. It needs staff. Perhaps most of all, it takes an understanding that the value of transparency can’t be measured as an immediate return on investment. Transparency can nurture a culture of trust in our elected representatives, further an understanding that government serves important functions for citizens, and provide a measure of accountability. When the flow of information about our elections, our government, and our democracy is curtailed, we’re nurturing a culture of mistrust and cynicism. Sadly, a budget subcommittee in Montana did just that recently when it took aim at the state political practices commissioner’s office — the office that educates candidates about how to lawfully campaign, and helps them understand the laws governing campaign finances and ethical expectations. The office that compiles campaign disclosure reports from hundreds of candidates each election cycle, and asks candidates to fill out forms properly and in a timely manner. The office that informs the press and public about who is funding the campaigns of the candidates who, if elected, will spend taxpayer money. The office where citizen accountability interests are nurtured. For doing this important job, for creating “some tremendous efficiencies,” as one committee member noted, the subcommittee voted to cut the in-house attorney who helped eliminate a case backlog, and reduce the salary of the commissioner by 23 percent. The vote was along party lines. Afterward, Sen. Janna Taylor (R-Dayton) reportedly said, “If you’ll remember, Sen.

[Gene] Vuckovich [D-Anaconda] on the floor told us, ‘To the victor goes the spoils.’” Nurturing the public’s interest in transparency and accountability was trumped by party politics. Sadly, what happened in Montana isn’t an anomaly. In state after state, lawmakers are targeting disclosure agencies. The Washington State Public Disclosure Commission is facing budget cuts that mean the small agency will have to lay off three staff and not make planned computer and software upgrades that would make it easier for candidates and lobbyists to file required disclosure reports. The Maryland State Board of Elections and Connecticut’s Office of Government Accountability also face cuts. In Texas, where former Gov. Rick Perry (R) is facing two indictments on ethical issues, the budgets for both the Texas Ethics Commission and the public integrity unit of the Travis County district attorney’s office face major cuts. In an interesting turnabout, the governor of Georgia has proposed doubling the funding for that state’s ethics commission. More than a decade ago, that commission faced a budget cut of more than 40 percent, along with criticism for instituting random audits of candidate disclosure reports and issuing fines. “There is no question in my mind they are being strangled by the Legislature in order to keep them from enforcing the ethics law,” attorney Michael Jablonski said at the time. “These are people who want to do their job. They just are not given the resources to do it.” In the face of tight budgets, it’s easy for lawmakers to argue for cutting ethics and disclosure commissions. But the citizenry should be alarmed when politics trumps the public’s right to meaningful information about its elected representatives and who supports their campaigns. The public should be outraged when lawmakers directly attack transparency, for with no transparency there can be no accountability.

unshine Week has helped foster government transparency in the United States during the past 10 years, but while we have focused inward at state and federal transparency the world has passed us by. Open government efforts in the U.S. have helped create a federal ombudsman program and had led to some helpful amendments to FOIA. No doubt Sunshine Week has helped with the improvements. Public exposure was sorely needed since the years of increased post-9/11 secrecy. It is imperative that the public understand the importance of open government, and Sunshine Week has played a critical role. The week makes for a great “news peg” – a reason for journalists to write about transparency. But setbacks in the past 10 years include more exemptions, fees, delays and sophisticated spin tactics by government officials to thwart access. Meanwhile, amazing things have been happening all around us in the world, and in many ways other countries have outpaced the United States. Since 2005, the world has seen 45 countries adopt FOIA laws, for a total of 103 nations. The most recent adoptee was Mozambique in December. Nations with FOIA laws now include Russia, China, Uganda, Tunisia, Afghanistan and Rwanda. Many of their laws are much stronger than U.S. FOIA. For example, in China government officials are required to waive fees for the indigent and help the disabled and illiterate with requests. In Liberia the right to access public records is in its constitution, not so in the United States. South Korea applies its FOIA to all three branches of government, not just the executive branch as it is here. Armenia and Romania agencies are required to respond to a FOIA request within five days, not the 20 working days given to U.S. agencies. Many other nations have put teeth in their laws. Mexico provides an independent agency to adjudicate request disputes. In India, agencies that don’t follow the law

can be fined. Ethiopia provides a public records ombudsman who can force agencies to cough up records – the U.S. Office of Government Information Services ombudsman does not have that enforcement power. In many countries the law requires the education of the public in their right to know. The state of Sinaloa in Mexico dictates FOI be taught in the schools. Russia, Norway and other countries require agencies to post online lists of their records and databases. A Colombian law enacted in January requires agencies to provide public records in different languages. Indeed, world ratings of FOIA laws show that the U.S. is falling behind. Access Info Europe and the Centre for Law and Democracy rate the strength of FOIA laws and place the U.S. at No. 44 in the world, behind such countries as Uganda, Russia and Kyrgyzstan. Mexico’s law ranks seventh. Granted, just because there is a law doesn’t mean government officials will follow it. Many countries have adopted FOIA laws simply to encourage foreign investment and play ball internationally, with little regard for their citizens or press. And there are disagreements over the ability to accurately rate the strength of FOIA laws. Public records audits show that access can be difficult in the trenches, regardless of what the law says. On average, for example, police departments in the United States will illegally deny access to simple crime logs about three-quarters of the time. I doubt it’s much better in Russia or China. But laws do matter, and we can learn a lot from other countries. We should look around the world, identify the best practices internationally, and craft stronger state and federal public record laws. That global perspective is essential if we want to better serve citizens and democracy in the United States for the next 10 years, and beyond.

Davis of “The Art of Access: Strategies for Acquiring Public Records,” and “Transparency 2.0: Digital Data and Privacy in a Wired World.”

A Fourth Estate for you

Right to know

National

Public notices should stay in the sun

Congress, president must Take closed gov’t personally endorse FOIA reform

By Jim Zachary Editor, Valdosta (Ga.) Daily Times Director, Transparency Project of Georgia

s we recognize Sunshine Week, the public’s right to know is under assault throughout the United States. State lawmakers are whittling away at Sunshine Laws in multiple ways, not the least of which is the effort to remove requirements to publish public notices in the place where communities are most likely to find important information they want and need to know — in the local newspaper. Efforts to allow local governments the option of placing required public notices on government websites, or on third party sites that bury the information is poor, ill-advised legislation that should be viewed as a threat to and further erosion of government transparency. The reason public notices are required for publication in newspapers is to make them available to as wide an audience as possible. Keeping public notices public is critical. Public notices alert the general public about bankruptcy proceedings, adoptions, foreclosures, public hearings, tax liens, local legislative proposals, zoning changes and proposed tax increases — all things the public wants and needs to know. Burying that information on a government website would be an assault on taxpayers, and all residents. Public notices should not be hidden in a dark corner. They should be kept out in the sunshine where they can be easily seen. Government cannot be its own watchdog. Newspapers have a long, important legacy of helping the public keep an eye on local government through news reporting and the publication of government notices. Newspapers also serve as a historical record that will be looked upon by researchers now and years in the future. Much of that record is documented by public notices. Simply placing required public notices on government owned or controlled websites would mean a person would have to know exactly what they’re searching for — or what keywords to use — in order to find the specific information they want to access. The government website model effectively hides the actions of government. Making public notices available online is important and almost all newspapers also place the notices on local websites and statewide sites through press associations that aggregate the data. Lawmakers should stop assaulting the principles of government transparency and work, instead, to protect the public’s right to know.

By Sean Vitka

Federal Policy Manager, Sunlight Foundation

hile Sunshine Week is about transparency writ large, there’s arguably no single bigger piece of that foundational American value than the Freedom of Information Act. FOIA uncovered details of the torture that occurred at Guantanamo Bay, and led us to J. Edgar Hoover’s FBI file on John Lennon, among many, many other cases about government secrecy. But we need an updated FOIA that fits 21st century information needs. Passing the FOIA Improvement Act, one of the few truly bipartisan bills during President Barack Obama’s tenure, is the first step to reform. The Obama administration has stated that it hopes transparency will be a defining characteristic of the president’s time in office, but at the same time, it has been working to unravel key tenets of FOIA. For example, why is the CIA still fighting to withhold information about the Bay of Pigs? Why has the administration increased use of discretionary authority to withhold information, while claiming to be the most transparent in history? According to The Associated Press, “five years after Obama directed agencies to less frequently invoke a ‘deliberative process’ exemption to withhold materials describing decision-making behind the scenes, the government did it anyway, a record 81,752 times.” These examples do not illustrate a true commitment to transparency. It’s time for the president to speak out and publicly support the FOIA Improvement Act. It would empower Americans to better hold government accountable by giving them access to information sooner rather than later, codifying a presumption of openness and closing the loopholes on exemptions. And it’s time for his administration to follow suit. FOIA, signed into law in 1966 by President Lyndon Johnson, is the kind of policy Americans should be proud of. Over five decades it has evolved to ensure people can hold the government accountable and force it to be transparent. But it’s always been a source of conflict between the public, seeking information, and the government, often working to keep itself away from public oversight. Administrations, including Johnson’s, have always been reluctant to give the people any windows into their insular world. According to Bill Moyers, who was Johnson’s press secretary when FOIA became law, the president, “hated the very idea of the Freedom of Information Act; hated the thought of journalists rummaging in

government closets; hated them challenging the official view of reality. He dug in his heels and even threatened to pocket veto the bill after it reached the White House.” Despite this, Johnson publicly said he signed it “with a deep sense of pride that the United States is an open society in which the people’s right to know is cherished and guarded.” Similarly, Watergate underscored the utter inadequacy of the public’s ability to hold the executive branch accountable – after all, government accountability, transparency and the public record should never be dependent on the courage of a whistleblower. But that didn’t stop President Gerald Ford, under guidance from now-Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia, future-Vice President Dick Cheney and once-and-future Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld from vetoing reform. Congress overrode Ford’s move and secured for America one of the most critical components of FOIA – the right to judicial review. In both the current and previous Congress, FOIA’s vanguard is composed of senior membership in both parties, specifically Senators John Cornyn and Patrick Leahy and Representatives Darrell Issa and Elijah Cummings. Both the Senate and the House reintroduced their bills in February, which, in congressional terms, might as well be the speed of light. Their collaboration here isn’t just good for FOIA – it’s a salve for some of the wounds inflicted by the so-called do-nothing 113th Congress. On the other hand, perhaps it’s unsurprising that certain actors within the Obama administration oppose reform. Indeed, they managed to stall it to death last year over specious claims that it would, for unspecified reasons, (1) make certain administrative law enforcement actions more difficult and/or (2) pose a threat to information given to the government by the financial sector (there are exemptions to FOIA requests that cover both of these already). The same quiet opposition is showing up again now. Although this is all certainly less dramatic than Johnson’s secret view of FOIA, and less aggressive than Ford’s post-Watergate veto, Obama’s silence is more ironic. There may be no more important political move yet unmade than Obama’s endorsement of strong FOIA reform. So far, the president remains silent, while his agencies fight against it.

Yankton County (S.D.) Observer

on’t take it personally? That’s usually good advice, but today we urge the opposite reaction to all government bodies operating in the shadows, purposely avoiding public scrutiny and genuine transparency. In other words, take closed government personally. Please! Take it personally when a reporter is kicked out of a city council meeting so members can hold an illegal or unnecessary executive session. Take it personally when public access to government records is refused, limited, or attached to excessive fees. Take it personally when a judge jails a reporter for refusing to reveal a confidential source. Take it personally when government fails to limit political contributions, and ignores ties of mutual benefit between private business and elected officials. Take it personally when a governor issues secretive pardons. Take it personally when a presidential administration works vigorously to identify and criminally prosecute government whistle-blowers. Take all of this personally because it directly affects the quality and scope of government information you get from the press. Wouldn’t it be great if more people understood a reporter’s exclusion from a meeting also excludes them, the general public, from learning details that are being hidden? Wouldn’t it be great if everyone embraced the notion that government openness is an essential pillar of democracy? Wouldn’t it be great if more people remembered the press serves as their eyes and ears in the halls of government? Wouldn’t it be great if more people became aware that jailing journalists not only intimidates the press, but also chills the public’s right to know? Wouldn’t it be great to see thousands of citizens press Congress to pass a federal shield law protecting reporters from being locked up for doing their job? Wouldn’t that be great?

Farmer’s Voice

Gov’t action must ensure clean water By John Crabtree Center for Rural Affairs

ere in the west, we understand that there is much truth in the old joke that whiskey is for drinking and water is for fighting. Rural and small town America depend on water and our neighbors downstream count on us to preserve the quality of that water for their use as well. And farmers and ranchers are the tip of the spear when it comes to protecting water quality because much of our surface water falls first on American farms and ranches. Recently, I testified at a U.S. Senate field hearing in Lincoln, Nebraska, regarding the Waters of the U.S. rule (cfra.org/WOTUS-Testimony). The rule seeks to cut through the chaos and confusion surrounding Clean Water Act enforcement arising from Supreme Court decisions in 2001 and 2006. The rule goes to great lengths to ensure that farmers and ranchers benefit from preserving water quality but are not overly burdened with the rule’s implementation. Naysayers more concerned about protecting industries’ right to pollute should stop muddying the water with nonsense about regulating puddles, ditches and raindrops. Water is life, for crops, livestock, and wildlife as well as farms, ranches, business, industry and for hundreds of millions of us who depend upon clean water from our rivers, lakes and streams. It is in all our interest to protect this vital natural resource. EPA and the Army Corps of Engineers should continue to listen to concerns, make improvements to the rule, and move it forward to finalization. Established in 1973, the Center for Rural Affairs is a private, non-profit organization working to strengthen small businesses, family farms and ranches, and rural communities through action oriented programs addressing social, economic and environmental issues.

47 traitors to us all

By Greogry John Campbell Rockford Resident

‘B

ut, when the people’s representatives who are elected to government express their feelings and desires without regard to self-control, insist on their own independence without responsibility for their words and acts, deprive others of their rights by coercing them to do what they are told to do, and change the meaning of law and justice to be the accomplishment of what they will, then, whatever else the polity or form of that civil government may be, it is not democracy.” —H.W. Percival, “Democracy Is Self-Government” The above quote eminently characterizes the political failure of both parties in our nation today. That being said however, the Republicans have taken this political irresponsibility to new depths, believing themselves sufficient to bypass the President, Congress and the American people in establishing foreign policy. Nothing could be further from the truth. For this is not their role, as the Logan Act specifies, but only the Presidents in negotiation with Congress. As such, these Republicans are completely wrong, but use the specious ruse that negotiations are being “rushed” with Iran, not because they are, but because they won’t participate, as the Republican Party won’t negotiate with the president, the American people or Iran on anything. As John Dean indicates in his book, Broken Government, Republicans are not concerned with “governing”; they’re interested in “ruling,” because they and Israel’s Zionists—as demonstrated by Netanyahu’s recent speech—want to unilaterally plunge our nation and the world into conflict with Iran. Mr. Dean labels such dogmatic Republicans “authoritarian conservatives.” But they are far worse. They are crypto-fascists. Crypto means “hidden.” And a crypto-fascist Republican is one that appears “democratic” publically, while being “despotic” in political purpose and strategy secretly. They support America in “name,” but defeat her in their policy actions. The Democrats do so “culturally.” But by what moral, legal or human right do these 47 Republicans and Netanyahu have to decide US foreign policy? None; but believe

themselves sanctioned to do so. To suggest this is problematic for our nation and mankind is an understatement, and only begins to reveal the dark ideological intent of Republican and Zionist politics in contemporary history. For in doing so, they clearly establish mankind’s destiny as theirs to define, reminiscent of the “Thousand Year Reich.” This is political Darwinism on a neo-global scale, not cooperation. But now that these 47 Republicans have sent their partisan threat to Iran and the president, this makes negotiations more difficult, and should indicate to the American people, Israeli’s and the world that Republican and Zionist politics are the real threats to global peace and security, not Iran. Iran is being demonized by the Republican Party and Netanyahu, when they’re the real demons. For if Iran constructed a nuclear weapon, which they haven’t, what good would it do them? Nothing. For within minutes of a nuclear threat from Iran, Iran would be obliterated. Tactically Iran doesn’t stand a chance and isn’t a threat. Therefore, it’s more likely Israel would attack Iran, than Iran would attack Israel. But attacking Iran would only create a regional crisis fueling greater instability. Yet this is the outcome the Republican Party and Netanyahu want. This is political madness. But as their partisan actions clearly indicate, they could care less; oblivious to the holocaust that would result. As such then, these 47 Republicans plus Netanyahu are not only traitors to their own countries; they are traitors to us all. For at their command only, irrespective of God, country and humanity, they’d abolish world order to realize their radical hegemonic plans. For our children this cannot happen. Therefore it behooves us all— American, Israeli and Jew—to remove these political extremists from office as soon as possible, or we’ll face a historical catastrophe that needn’t happen. American and Israeli citizens please note: negotiating with Iran is essential for preserving regional order and encouraging political cooperation. Inform your officials accordingly. Choose what you want to be.

4 economic principles every local politician should know By Paul Gorski Columnist

here are four basic economic principles our local politicians should know: 1) Tax abatements are not effective tools for long-term economic growth; 2) Locally, TIF districts have not proved to be useful tools in generating long-term economic growth; 3) Investments in public healthcare can have a positive effect on local economies; 4) Investments in public education have long-term benefits to local and regional economies. Let’s tackle that last one first. Investments aimed at reducing high school dropout rates have a direct benefit on local economies. Higher education levels are associated with lower criminal activity, which is a positive for any community. High school graduates are also less likely to enroll in state Medicaid programs and federal Medicare healthcare programs, reducing the participation in these taxpayer-funded programs. In addition, high school graduates earn more money and contribute more in income tax revenue compared to high school dropouts over their respective lifespans. Therefore, the public investment in education eventually comes back to the state economy. Investments in public healthcare aimed at keeping residents out of emergency rooms as their primary source of care can have a positive effect on resident health and local hospitals’ bottom line. Local hospital systems often carry the burden of treating low-income, underinsured patients in their emergency departments. Programs that increase clinic access, provide for mobile clinics and programs that help avoid chronic health conditions can help hospitals save money and improve the health of the community. Local governments can help by providing financial assistance for vaccinations, wellness education, and promoting access to care. Tax abatements, often in the form of property tax relief, have not been shown to promote long-term economic growth. From my March 2014 column: “Michigan researchers found that while tax abatements in Michigan might work for some industries in some high-tax rate areas, that “net tax abatements result in a net cost to the local government.” In other words, the tax reductions cost the local governments more than the promised economic benefit.” The article details similar examples. Tax increment financing (TIF) districts offer a slightly brighter prospect for economic growth, but we have not used them wisely, and property values have been dropping in some of our TIF districts, so there is not enough money coming in to repay the money borrowed to improve those areas. Not only are we not improving these areas, we are putting ourselves deeper into debt. Course summary: invest in public health and public education, and use tax incentives sparingly.

Letters to the editor More than Rockford’s police chief needs to answer

The polarizing issue the public is interested in is why do w estill have this Police Chief. Not enough attention was paid when officers working under him voted 276 to 6 no confidence. The chief is now under investigation for telling officers how to handle a 911 call in violation of state law. In the chief’s own words, “It was his prerogative to tell officers how he wanted the call handled.” Then when official reports were written the chief told a deputy chief to have officers change their reports and void his involvement, to which he was told flatly “no” and reports stood unaltered. Someone asked of the officers discontent after the 276 to 6 vote was it because it was the chief’s way or the highway. Seems they hit the nail on the head. The mayor has backed his man all the way, commendable. But at what point is he going to top backing a dead horse? We have no confidence in the chief either, and with statements by the mayor – “He only does what I tell him” – maybe we need more than a new police chief. Tom Hudson Rockford

Editor’s oversight deserves apology to Walker

Your managing editor got sucked in by some left wing propaganda and tried to make readers believe that (Gov. Scott) Walker wanted to cease any reporting of sexual assaults on college campuses. Of course this is absurd. This is what really occurred: University of Wisconsin requested that Gov. Scott Walker remove a requirement that all 26 campuses report allegations of sexual assaults to the state every year because it already submits similar information to the federal government, a UW spokesman said Friday. The proposal to delete the annual reports to the state Department of Justice is among dozens of requirements that would be removed as part of Walker’s plan to decouple the university from most state laws and state oversight. Though the budget proposal came out earlier this month, the sex assault request was explained in a summary released Thursday by the nonpartisan Legislative Fiscal Bureau. UW System spokesman Alex Hummel said Friday that the university requested the change because information given to the state is duplicative of data required to be reported to the U.S. Department of Education under federal law. The university also posts the information on its website.

Fossil fuels and climate change By Robert and Sonia Vogl

President and Vice President, Illinois Renewable Energy Association

he scientific community overwhelmingly considers climate change as real, resulting primarily from human activities, especially increased fossil fuel consumption and deforestation. If these existing trends prevail, severe environmental problems will increase. Concerns about the potential of carbon releases to change the climate were a topic of discussion among a group of oceanographers in the 1950s. We became aware of them around 1970. In the late 1980s Hansen addressed the climate threat to Congress, bringing it to the public’s attention. Andrew C. Revkin pointed out that by 1995 fossil fuel interests supporting the Global Climate Coalition sponsored an internal scientific study which indicated that the scientific basis for linking climate change to carbon emissions from human activity could not be refuted. Rather than proposing actions consistent with the science of climate change fossil fuel interests chose to mount a campaign of denial to delay taking action. Those interested in the details of the campaign can either read the book or watch the film “Merchants of Doubt”. As public pressure builds to address climate change, fossil fuel interests and their allies in Congress and some state houses continue to support policies favoring fossil fuel consumption. Michael T. Klare, Professor of Peace and World-Security Studies at Hampshire College, puts the ardent support of the Keystone Pipeline into a global perspective. After losing control over the majority of the world’s oil and gas reserves, international oil companies such as BP, Chevron and Exxon Mobil launched a successful effort to increase their production in Canada, the U.S. and Mexico from fracking, horizontal drilling and deep water drilling.

Klare describes an effort to promote North American energy independence by increasing U.S. participation in the energy industries of Canada and Mexico while eliminating barriers to cross-border pipelines and reducing environmental regulations. An abundance of fossil fuels is seen as strengthening U.S. dominance in key areas around the globe. He expects that energy abundance and national security will be major platform issues in the next presidential campaign. An aggressive expansion of fossil fuel resources runs counter to actions needed to address climate change and environmental deterioration. As extreme weather related events including storms, droughts, forest fires, floods and rising sea levels increase, global pressures on governments to deal with climate change are intensifying. With cost effective energy efficiency measures and declining costs of wind and solar energy, an effective option to expanded fossil fuel consumption exists and is being widely implemented. Some interests indicate it is essential to leave the remaining reserves of fossil fuels in the ground and move toward an aggressive effort to cut consumption and waste. The scale of action called for is similar to what was done to shift industrial production away from consumer goods to providing military supplies for World War II. As an apostle of hope in a fear driven world, Paul Gilding in “The Great Disruption” outlines what he calls “the one degree war” against catastrophic climate change. He envisions ending our addiction to growth and accepting the need to change as a business opportunity in which new companies will reshape our economy. Some elements of Gilding’s view of new business opportunities to address climate change are included in the proposal of the Illinois Clean Jobs Coalition. Drs. Robert and Sonia Vogl can be reached via e-mail at sonia@essex1.com.

NORMAL — Gov. Bruce Rauner ran into a rougher room than usual Monday afternoon as he pitched his “Turnaround Illinois” agenda in the Normal Town Council chambers. While Rauner certainly had supporters present, a big portion of the overflowing audience was made up of university professionals, organized labor supporters and protesters of the governor’s fiscal 2016 budget proposal, which is heavily dependent on spending cuts. The governor gave a short speech much like he’s given throughout the state, making his pitch that Illinois must correct structural inefficiencies and corruption before it can again be prosperous and competitive. As he often does, Rauner promoted local empowerment, including locally decided right-to-work zones. He again went after prevailing wage acts and project labor agreements, contending they add 20 percent or more to public building project costs. And Rauner got after public-sector labor unions, which he calls “the big one” among the special interests. Those unions, he said, contribute millions of dollars and thousands of person-hours to politicians and then turn right around to “bargain” pay scales, work rules and pensions with the same people. Public-sector unions, as well as trial lawyers and big Medicaid providers, should be forbidden from contributing to campaigns just as businesses that contract with the state are, Rauner said. Then it got rough for the first-term Republican from Winnetka. One man asked if Rauner, a millionaire several times over, didn’t benefit from the rollback of the temporary tax increase. And he asked if Rauner wasn’t an “ate-the-cake conservative” who wished to leave the poor with the crumbs? No, said the governor. The bump in income tax from three percent to five percent took the equivalent of a week’s pay from everyone and that didn’t help the state or its residents, he said. The governor acknowledged his wealth. “You know what?” he said. “I’ve made a lot of money and people criticize me for making a lot of money, and, you know, I’m proud of making a lot of money. I worked hard for it.” He did it up from the ground up, Rauner said, his companies were successful and generated better than double stock-market returns for Illinois retirees including teachers, troopers and government office workers.

The governor also said he was taking neither and a salary nor a pension and said, “I don’t want to crumbs for people, I want good careers for people.” Victoria F. Harris, a retired professor of English at Illinois State University, told the governor his proposed cuts to higher education would hurt Illinois children and its universities. She described overloaded teachers, outsized classes and universities using adjunct faculty rather than tenure track faculty. She said Illinois would no longer attract or retain the best and brightest if higher education is slashed. Rauner said he agreed Illinois teachers and professors should be well paid for their talents and commensurate with the market. But, the governor said, “In Illinois, our university system is suffering from the same bureaucracy, cost structure and burden… as our state government is. “The money should be with the teachers in the classroom… and it’s not getting there,” Rauner said. The last question of the day came from a member of Fair Economy Illinois coalition, which supports a graduated tax structure and was actually a prompt for a stand-and-chant demonstration. Rauner took in the protest and eventually thanked the protesters for coming and making their view heard. “I respect that,” he said. He then reiterated his position that Illinois cannot tax its way to prosperity and argued graduated income taxes or special taxes on the wealthy are not the answer. If Illinois continues on a path of tax-andspend without solving structural problems, he said, it would find itself worse off than it already is — and it’s already running neck and neck for job loss, out-migration and high property taxes with its competitor for abysmal stats, New Jersey. Asked if he was surprised by the antipathy he was met with Monday, the governor remarked the protesters were not average Illinoisans but part of an organized special interest group. “They’re the ones who control Springfield,” he said. In a news conference after the event, the governor said if he can get the structural deficiencies resolved, he’d be willing to talk about “almost anything” with the legislature, including new state revenues. He specifically mentioned a broadened sales tax base. Illinois is running an estimated current-year deficit of about $1.6 billion and a projected $6.2 billion fiscal 2016 shortfall. ilnews.org

State Roundup

Appropriations hearing shows IDHS division reductions

From Illinois News Network ilnews.org

The governor’s office is focused on the long term and part of that is addressing core services with less money in the current and upcoming fiscal years. That’s according to the acting secretary of Illinois’ Department of Human Services. During the Senate Appropriations Committee hearing Monday morning acting secretary Greg Basse says it’s no secret Illinois has poorly managed its finances. “Prior state policies left critical programs at IDHS underfunded and have left families struggling to understand why,” said Basse. “We are obligated to our customers and to the people of this state to operate within a realistic, balanced budget as responsible managers that is the only way to remove pain and uncertainty going forward.” Basse says all five divisions of IDHS will see reduced spending, but there was a great deal of thought in making responsible reductions. “We did not make across the board changes in crafting this budget. We put a great deal of thought into making responsible choices and we’ve taken every effort to reserve our core services.” Various groups that receive hundreds of millions of dollars in state funding decried the proposed reductions. Basse says this is a difficult budget and difficult decisions must be made. IDHS’ proposed budget from General Revenue Funds is just over three-point-five billion dollars, which is just under levels from fiscal year 2014.

More politics than problem solving at appropriations hearing Meanwhile, there seemed to be more politics than problem solving. Senator Michael Hastings says possible staff reductions will bring about even more overtime costs and decried proposed cuts that haven’t yet been implemented. Hastings, a democrat, highlighted mental health services is the suburbs south of Chicago under the current fiscal year. But, Republican Senator Matt Murphy fired back and said the current problem is the democrats’ making and addressed service recipients gathered in the hearing room. “But to be perfectly clear so everybody in this room understands why this problem hasn’t been solved yet is because the senate democratic caucus wants to leverage this issue and to push this debt into next year and they’re using you as political pawns in the process.” A spokesperson for Senate Democrats said quote “it’s unfortunate that the senator chose to use today as an opportunity to score more political points”. Chairperson of the committee, Democratic Senator Heather Steans, says she is concerned the proposed cuts aren’t workable. Acting IDHS Secretary Basse said the fiscal reality is what the proposed budget presents and all the state can afford.

Hearings continue this week The next Senate Appropriations committee is Tuesday afternoon in Springfield where senators will hear about proposed budgets for the Department of Aging, Department of Children and Family Services, Department of

Juvenile Justice, Department of Human Rights, and Human Rights Commission. Meanwhile, the House Appropriations Committee will get a chance to sound off on the proposed budget for the state’s Department of Human Services Thursday morning in Springfield.

Durkin says GOP won’t support new revenue The state’s GOP Senators and Representatives have no stomach for tax increases. That’s according to leading house republican Jim Durkin. Media accounts indicate Durkin made the statements in front of the Civic Committee of the Commercial Club of Chicago. In audio uploaded online of Durkin talking with the press after addressing the Civic Committee he says debate on the proposed budget could go into the summer. “It could be a staring match if it comes down to the end of May but if we go into overtime I would say I don’t want to go into overtime. This is when a first year governor is to work with him to find a plan that meets the revenues we expect to bring in.” The budget for the next fiscal year is based on revenue projections that are six-billion dollars less than the current fiscal year, even if the current budget suffers a one-point-six billion dollar shortfall. Governor Bruce Rauner’s proposed budget for the next fiscal year that starts in July does not include any new revenue.

State Supreme Court opens historic hearing The Illinois Supreme Court invites the other two branches of Illinois government to observe the first evening hearing in more than century.

Governor Bruce Rauner and the entire Illinois legislature have been invited to observe hearings in front of the high court Tuesday evening. The special evening session hearing about an amendment to the Illinois Juvenile Court Act. Chief Justice Rita Garman explained in a statement the special evening hearing is an opportunity for members of the General Assembly and the Governor’s office to observe first-hand the interaction of the functions of the three branches.

Senator Durbin wants Obama’s library in Chicago The Senior U.S. Senator for Illinois says he’s going to find out what the hold up is in getting President Obama’s presidential library in Chicago. In audio from the Chicago Sun Times, U.S. Senator Dick Durbin said that he wants Obama’s library in Chicago quote “no ifs, ands or buts about it.” “To think it would have a dramatic positive impact on the city and on the community where it’s located. There will be people from all over the world to visit. They’ll be staying in Chicago. They’ll be seeing this great city and will help our economy.” Durbin says he hopes he can convince the president to agree that Chicago should be where the library resides. Durbin was asked about the library during a stop at the technology incubator 1871. The Chicago Tribune reports that the University of Chicago and the University of Illinois at Chicago came together Monday to send a message to the President that the city wants his library in the Windy City regardless of whether it’s on the South Side or the West Side.

URBAN AND METROPOLITAN AREA Notice is hereby given that the Rockford Metropolitan Agency for Planning (RMAP), the federally-designated Metropolitan Planning Organization for the Rockford Urban and Metropolitan area, is seeking public comment on the transportation planning process and the development of the following documents. RMAP coordinates publicly funded transportation planning and improvements among the various jurisdictions in Winnebago, Boone and Ogle Counties. All documents are available for viewing electronically at http://www.rmapil.org or at the RMAP offices located at 313 N Main Street, Rockford, Illinois. 1. RMAP FY2016 TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM (TIP): This document will identify and prioritize all major transportation and public transit improvements scheduled for implementation in the RMAP Metropolitan Area in the next four fiscal years (actual dates - July 1, 2015 to June 30, 2019). The document is under development and will be made available for comment when a draft is prepared. Public comments will be accepted anytime. Pending recommendation by the Technical Committee at their July 23, 2015 meeting, the final TIP will be on the Policy Committee agenda for possible approval at their July 30, 2015 meeting. 2. RMAP 2040 LONG-RANGE TRANSPORTATION PLAN (LRTP). The LRTP discusses, plans, and assigns priority for all major transportation systems improvements for the Metropolitan Area over the next 20 to 30 years. On July 29, 2010 RMAP Policy Committee adopted the current LRTP. Federal transportation regulations mandate an update of this document be done once every 5 years. Accordingly, RMAP staff are presently developing and revising the content of the document to reflect the current status of transportation planning in the area along with revising future goals and expectations that might be out of date since the last version of this document was compiled, as well as incorporating facets of the Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century (MAP-21) legislation into the updated version of the document. The formal public comment period for the first draft of the updated Long Range Transportation Plan is from February 24, 2015 until April 3, 2015. It is expected that the LRTP update will be adopted at the July 30, 2015, RMAP Policy Committee meeting. 3. RMAP COORDINATED PUBLIC TRANSIT HUMAN SERVICES TRANSPORTATION PLAN (HSTP): The HSTP is a locally developed plan that identifies the transportation needs of individuals with disabilities, older adults, and people with low incomes. The purpose of the Human Services Transportation Plan is to assess the needs and concerns of public transit users in the Metropolitan Planning Area and to develop strategies that will address and remedy these concerns. The overall goal of the plan is to increase the efficiency of services provided to public transit dependent populations (individuals with disabilities, persons with low income and elderly individuals). The Human Services Transportation Plan is also a prerequisite, as stipulated by MAP-21 to receive any Federal Transit Administration funding under the 5310 (Enhanced Mobility of Seniors and Individuals with Disabilities), which also includes the former section 5317 (New Freedom) program; as well as the former 5316 (Job Access and Reverse Commute) program, which is now a part of sections 5307 (urban) and 5311 (rural) funding programs. 4. RMAP UNIFIED WORK PRO-

GRAM (UWP): The UWP specifies the transportation planning work and budget over the RMAP fiscal year (July 1, 2015 to June 30, 2016). RMAP staff is currently in the process of crafting the 2016 UWP; the draft will be available on the RMAP website on March 18, 2015. The UWP is scheduled to be adopted at the May 28, 2015 Policy Committee Meeting. 5. RMAP PUBLIC PARTICIPATION PLAN (PPP): The RMAP PPP defines the process that seeks public participation, gives public notice, and holds for review any documentation or actions taken in the RMAP transportation planning process. In accordance with this plan, RMAP is notifying the general public that the PPP and the previously mentioned work items may be updated within this fiscal year (July 1, 2015 to June 30, 2016) to comply with federal regulation and to updated this document based upon public comments received. The current iteration of the PPP can be viewed at http://www.rmapil. org/assets/documents/final_ppp. pdf and at the RMAP office. 6. RMAP TITLE VI AND ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE (EJ): Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 requires that no person in the United States shall, on the ground of race, color, or national origin be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjects to discrimination under any program or activity for which RMAP receives federal financial assistance. Environmental Justice Executive Order 12898 further assures that RMAP will make efforts to prevent discrimination through the impacts of RMAP programs and policies on low-income populations. In accordance with federal regulations RMAP is notifying the general public that the Title VI Plan will be updated in FY 2016 (July 1, 2015 to June 30, 2016) to comply with new federal guidelines as stipulated by FTA Circular 4702.1B and FTA Circular 4703.1. This document can be found on the RMAP website at http://www.rmapil.org/ assets/documents/2006_ej_finalreport_maps.pdf or at the RMAP office. Comments will be accepted at any time. 7. RMAP GREENWAYS PLAN AND MAP: The Greenways Map and Plan is a tool to shape community development by using land conservation to guide growth and preserve the environmental and recreational assets of both Boone and Winnebago Counties. The Greenways Plan and its future revisions will serve as the primary planning document for land acquisition, natural areas preservation, greenway, corridor, and recreational trail development for the region. The Map highlights existing protected green space and potential future green space acquisitions, as well as current and proposed recreational trails and multi-use paths. The Plan is a tool to help communities steer growth and development away from valuable natural resources and towards existing communities and infrastructure in a more sustainable way that is driven by data and research. Currently Staff is working on finalizing a rough draft of the 2015 Greenways Plan and Map and expects it to be released in the summer of 2015. 8. RMAP BIKE AND PEDESTRIAN PLAN: On January 20, 2005, the Rockford Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) conducted a workshop to encourage public involvement in the bicycle system planning process. This group represented a cross section of bicycle stakeholders from throughout the Rockford MPA. The attendees were requested to review the existing plan, propose new bikeway facilities, or recommend changes to bikeway policy. Any thoughts or ideas in regard to the bikeway system were en-

couraged. This data was integral in the development of the current stand-alone RMAP 2006 Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan. Beginning in 2015 RMAP staff will begin the process of updating and writing a new version of the Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan for the RMAP planning area. Public comments are welcomed on all the above work at all RMAP meetings or by contacting RMAP by telephoning, e-mailing or writing. RMAP Technical Committee meetings are typically held on the third Thursday of each month and the Policy Committee meetings on the following Thursday. The exact meeting dates, times, and locations are finalized and announced at least a week in advance. Persons seeking more information on these meetings, the above mentioned studies or any other information related to RMAP should view the material on the website at http://www.rmapil. org or contact RMAP Staff: Michael P. Dunn, Jr., Executive Director Rockford Metropolitan Agency for Planning 313 N Main St, Rockford, IL 61101 779/348-RMAP (Voice); 815/967-6913 (fax) Date of notice: March 18, 2015 3783R TRRT 3/18

Your Horoscope By Denise Guzzardo Week of March 18-24, 2015

This Week: The new Moon eclipse arrives March 20th in sensitive Pisces. This element marks a turning point for relationships to heal as well as opening new doors for creative outlets to arrive. Many of you may find yourselves extremely sensitive or weepy-eyed for no apparent reason. However there is an inward process that is releasing old worn-out thought patterns or feeling that no longer serve us within the here and now. Whatever emotions arrive during this time, embrace them, this will invoke the art of compassion in the long run. Enjoy! Aries (March 21 to April 19) —Pay close attention to your surroundings this week. There maybe an unbalanced individual within you or a loved one’s midst. If you are conscious of this you can ward off any danger or emotional stress. You may need to set a boundary with this type of element. You have back up if you need it, and strength in reserve. By week’s end you feel a little more at peace Aries. Taurus (April 20 to May 20)— Stay out of petty office gossip early on this week. This appears to escalate by week’s end creating all kinds of havoc within the workplace. If you play the see no evil, speak no evil, hear no evil mentality you will find yourself on top of the world when all

is said and done. Someone will be reprimanded for all of this nonsense. So with that said make sure it is not you. Gemini (May 21 to June 20) — You may be just off the radar of someone you have been worried about for quite some time. This week provides a culmination of events to connect and work these aspects out with another. You will have a clear understanding as to why this situation has gone off course. Once you’re able to clarify your thoughts and feelings all will work itself out by week’s end Gemini. Cancer (June 21 to July 22) — You may be called upon to get involved in humanitarian activities this week. We all know how hard it is to keep up with pressing schedules and overbooked obligations. However, take a moment to join a worthy cause. This will fill the emotional gap you have been feeling as of late. This will also put you in a position to form new bonds with those of like-mind. Go for it. Leo (July 23 to Aug. 22) — Your energy levels or lack of energy is becoming noticeable to those within your circle. It’s possible that you may need a check up from the neck up to clarify what is really eating you at this point. The focus may be off the tracks while a deeper issue is the culprit. Although we may all consider the fact that the past should remain in the past, sometimes we need to revisit it to understand the present Leo. Virgo (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) — You may feel as though unwanted anxiety has arrived for no apparent reason and is taking over your life. Take a step backwards and attempt to figure out exactly when and why this arrived when it did.

How do you know when it’s time for hospice? If you’re asking that question, it’s time for VITAS. When it’s time to focus on the patient, not the disease, it’s time for VITAS. We address the physical, spiritual and emotional pain of serious illness, for patients and their families.

Find strength in our care.

888.966.7363 VITAS.com

You will find that about a month ago significant exchanges of energy with a member from your past planted the seeds for this aspect to erupt. As a result of this you appear off-balance. By week’s end you will find the tools to rid yourself of this pressure. You will be all the wiser for it Virgo. Libra (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) — Try not to throw the baby out with the bathwater this week. Although we may need a stronger foundation with another than appears to be available at the present. Tossing them to the side like an old toy will not help the current situation heal. There is only so much we can expect out of another human being. The peace,security and love we crave needs to come from within first Libra. Scorpio (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) — A new love interest has you taking a look through your wardrobe and calling your stylist for an upgrade. Making some shifts in your outward appearance will lighten your emotional load and create a positive spring in your step. All eyes are on you at this time. Present yourself in the best possible light and remember, “you’re never fully dressed without a smile,” Scorpio. Sagittarius (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) — A longdrawn-out legal document or court proceeding is finally coming to a close at this time. You will know where you stand and as a result of that you will be able to move forward into a new path in life. You may find the humanitarian approach fits you the best. Involving yourself with those of like-mind and hearts will bring out the best in you Sag. Capricorn (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) — There is

nothing wrong with standing up for yourself and your emotions this week. Stay very conscious of keeping the facts straight. Do not allow another to throw you off course with their insecurities or tantrums. This will not accomplish anything but more heartache. Once you lay the law down you should expect to see results. No matter how the chips fall you are in a stronger position than you can see at this time Capricorn. Aquarius (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) — You may be very tempted to stick your nose in where it does not belong at this time. Worse yet, an urge to practice your flight mode mentality on another that has created a problem within your home or friendship sectors. Keep your feet planted firmly on the ground and focus on your business instead. This is a great week to bring in the “big bucks” as well as allow yourself plenty of time to enjoy pets and hobbies. Your long term financial goals are on the rise Aquarius. Pisces (Feb. 19 to March 20) — A wellness issue regarding you or a loved one may be the focus early on this week. However, all will turn out way better than expected in the grand scheme of things. Financial matters are on the forefront and you are coming into a time where money will not be an issue for you shortly. Look around and pay very close attention to signs that are pointing you in the right direction to receive prosperity. A darkhaired male may have an offer for you that you just cannot resist. Go for it Pisces. For an extended astrological forecast or psychic consultation, contact Denise at 815-398-3983.

Energy East Pipeline: Canada’s Keystone causes concern From EarthTalk Answers about the Environment

The Energy East Pipeline is a $12 billion project proposed by TransCanada Corp. that will combine existing, converted natural gas pipelines with new pipeline construction to carry oil some 2,800 miles across Canada from Alberta’s tar sands fields to export terminals in Quebec and New Brunswick. Unlike TransCanada’s Keystone XL pipeline proposal, which aims to transport oil from Alberta to Nebraska, Energy East would not directly cross into the U.S. But environmentalists on both sides of the border are concerned since Energy East would transport 1.1 million barrels of tar sands oil a day—25 percent more than Keystone XL—and will be the longest oil pipeline on the continent. Just as Keystone XL has been shrouded in controversy and debate in the U.S., Energy East faces fierce opposition in Canada, where groups like Environmental Defence and the Council of Canadians believe the pipeline threatens both sensitive ecosystems and populated areas with the risk of a spill. According to the report “Liquid Pipeline: Extreme Energy’s Threat to the Great Lakes and the St. Lawrence River,” by Maude Barlow of the Council of Canadians, Energy East would cross the northern end of the Great Lakes, including the St. Lawrence River Basin watershed, threatening many water systems along the way. “In its preliminary project description filed with the National Energy Board in March 2014, TransCanada outlined details about its plans to build a port in Cacouna, Quebec, just north of Rivière-de-Loup on the St. Lawrence River,” the report states. “Local residents are very concerned that any accidents involving either the pipeline or marine shipments along this route would put the already endangered beluga whale population at greater risk.” For its part, TransCanada says that it “un-

The proposed eastward extension to the TransCanada Pipeway would pass through portions of the Great Lakes Basin, putting the lakes and adjacent waterways at risk in the event of a spill according to environmental groups. Map from Watershed Sentinel (Canada)

derstands the important role all aquifers, rivers and lakes play in maintaining sensitive and vital ecosystems across Canada,” but asserts that “pipelines remain the safest, most efficient and most environmentally friendly mode of transporting energy across the continent.” Before the Energy East pipeline goes into service, TransCan-

ada plans to clean and thoroughly inspect the converted section of the pipeline. The company has also promised to avoid crossings of important water bodies to minimize disturbances of sensitive aquatic ecosystems. Highly-trained technical staff in TransCanada’s control center would monitor the pipeline 24/7. While construction and maintenance of the Energy East pipeline would create some 14,000 jobs during its first seven years while providing upwards of $7.6 billion in tax revenue to pay for schools, roads and other public services across

Canada, many Canadians remain concerned that a spill could threaten or destroy their livelihoods. Regardless of these concerns, TransCanada is currently working to get final regulatory approval from Canada’s National Energy Board (NEB) to start work on Energy East and hopes to have construction completed by the end of 2018. Environmentalists are still holding out hope that NEB will reject Energy East on environmental and/or socio-economic grounds, and continues to drum up support across Canada and beyond for shelving the beleaguered pipeline.

Mr. Green Car

Returning the auto industry to America

By Allen Penticoff Columnist

hen I evaluate new cars that I review I always inspect the window sticker for “Domestic Content.” This bit of information is more a source of pride rather than any indication as to the quality of the car. Auto parts are made all over the world, and the parts in any one new car can be from all over the world. The Big Three American auto builders, General Motors, Ford and Chrysler use parts from outside the country, and in some cases the cars are assembled outside the United States and sold in the U.S. as though they were American made. This is what has led to a statement of content and point of assembly on the new car sticker. To some buyers this matters very much. For many years, starting in the 1970s, Japanese auto makers entered the U.S. Market and began to establish a larger and larger market share with their high quality small cars while “Detroit” continued to build the same way they always had – cars often of poor quality and equally poor efficiency. The first oil embargoes in 1973 really established the Japanese car as the new force in auto ownership. Eventually the Big Three would catch on and mimic the Japanese way of designing and building cars. Today there is no discernible difference in who builds what where. Nearly all new vehicles are of high quality and serve our needs quite well. They last a long time with little major maintenance required. Now many of the overseas manufacturers have built assembly factories in the United States and Canada. At first, these factories were established to placate the American consumer who was anti-foreign car, with the parts still largely sourced overseas. But today the parts are as likely to be made in the U.S. as overseas, in large part due to time and cost issues of shipping across oceans. At the 2015 Chicago Auto Show I heard a

presentation for the Economic Club of Chicago by Nissan Motor Company’s Executive Vice President and Chairman, Nissan North America, Jose Munoz. As he introduced himself, Munoz explained how worldwide auto building had become. Here he was, a Spaniard, running a Japanese company, building cars in the United States. Nissan has been building cars in North America in Smyrna, Mississippi since 1983. In 2014 they became the highest volume manufacturer in North America. Indeed, on a recent trip across Tennessee, I saw many car hauling trailers loaded with Nissans on Interstate 40. Munoz stated that since 1981 Nissan has spent $10.1 billion on U.S. manufacturing and created 22,000 jobs building 13.7 million cars and trucks. They have also made 570,000 lithium-ion batteries and recently built a factory here to build the all-electric Leaf. Munoz said Nissan expects to have a fully autonomous car on the market by 2020. That’s a car that can drive itself – in five years. Munoz was very proud of the Mississippi workers and Nissan’s commitment to the community, pouring millions of dollars into education and training so that the community can continue to meet their needs for a well educated workforce. Other foreign automakers are doing similar things. At another address, I heard from Alan Batey, General Motors’ Executive Vice President and President, GM North America. Beaty’s talk focused more on GM’s rebound in sales. He said GM vehicles were number one in sales in the Chicagoland area. He said that compact SUVs comprise 1 of 5 sales across 17 million vehicles they sold in 2014. GM’s Buick line is rated #1 in customer satisfaction, with overseas sales of 1.2 million cars.

Frustrated actors: apply within

Borland decision indictment of the game, not league

By Doug Halberstadt Columnist

Are you a frustrated actor? Would you like to play some baseball this summer? How about combining the two? The Eagle Diamonds are looking for a few good men to join their team. They need volunteer players who are not afraid to work with the public, especially families with children, and who are not shy. The Diamonds are a vintage ball team that plays the game using rules from the 1870’s. Their home field is located at Old World Wisconsin. The historic site is located about an hour north of Rockford between Beloit and Milwaukee. Old World Wisconsin is on Highway 67 just south of Eagle, Wisconsin in the Milwaukee/Chicago/Madison triangle. The 600-acre history attraction features interac-

tive environments and immersive stories of 19th- and early 20th-century Midwestern immigrant farm and rural life. During the operating season May through October the museum offers hands-on activities, led by period-clad staff members, as they visit 10 working farmsteads, explore 12 heirloom gardens, meet heritage animal breeds and try historic crafts and skills. There is a new emphasis on vintage baseball at Old World Wisconsin for 2015. The ball diamond will be relocated to the site’s village area, closer to the main entrance, bringing it more center stage. Four home games and two away games are scheduled for 2015. Those chosen will be taught historic rules, historic methods of batting, pitching and catching. This Saturday there will be an informational meeting from 1-3 p.m. for anyone interested in playing vintage baseball for the

ith the retirement of San Francisco 49ers linebacker Chris Borland Monday a wave of analysis came crashing through the void left by his explanation for walking away: his health was worth more than any sum of money. Borland was clear in his reasons to ESPN’s “Outside the Lines” when he said, ““I just honestly want to do what’s best for my health. “From what I’ve researched and what I’ve experienced, I don’t think it’s worth the risk.” What he’s surely researched is the over 70 cases of progressive neurological disease seen the deaths of former players. What he’s surely experienced during his brief NFL career and his time as a standout at the University of Wisconsin is the individual wear and tear the game exerts on a player’s body. And what he’s done is simply analyze the information in front of him and made what he feels is the best decision for his quality of life. “For me, it’s wanting to be proactive,” said Borland. “I’m concerned that if you wait until you have symptoms, it’s too late.” He continued, “I can’t claim that ‘X’ will happen. I just want to live a long, healthy life, and I don’t want to have any neurological diseases or die younger than I would otherwise.” Here we have a young man entering the prime of his career , one tipped to replace an exiting legend in Patrick Willis who announced his retirement at age 30 just weeks ago. But the discussion over Borland’s choice seems largely to miss the point. Yes, he has walked away from a chunk of change many of us will never see. He’s walked away from the spotlight of the NFL, from the endorsements and the adulation of fans. And that just goes to show that Borland’s decision was not based on the professional options or the conduct of the NFL in denying its role in covering up effects head injuries. That point has been passed as study after study has drawn back the curtain. No, Borland’s decision is reflective of a broadly changing landscape, one that is beginning to view football as an unacceptable risk to one’s health. And while the decision remains a wholly personal one, as we’ve seen with Jake Locker, Jason Worilds and now Borland it is becoming one more commonly taken. The NFL will survive; there will always be another young man willing to risk his longterm health and vitality for a shot at millions. But the talent pool they have to draw from will continue to shrink as more people understand the dangers of the modern-day gladiator spectacle football has become. shane.nicholson@rockrivertimes.com | @ofvoid

Bears roster starting to shape up By Doug Halberstadt Columnist

here’s been a sufficient amount of buzz surrounding the Chicago Bears during the past week. Much of it centered on the team’s free agent activity. In addition to the signing of three key free agents the Bears also made headlines by trading away wide receiver Brandon Marshall. The free agents who will be Chicago Bears this season are former Baltimore Ravens’ linebacker Pernell McPhee. Joining him on defense is former New York Giants’ safety Antrel Rolle. The offense welcomes former San Diego Chargers’ wide receiver Eddie Royal. The Bears lost two defensive players to the free agency market. Walking-triage ward and safety Chris Conte will be joining former Bears’ head coach Lovie Smith down in Tampa Bay while the Washington Redskins signed defensive tackle Stephen Paea. Normally, much of the discussion among Bears’ fans would be centered on the three new guys who reported to Halas Hall. Instead, they’ve been a bit overshadowed by the Brandon Marshall trade. It seems everyone who claims to be a Chicago fan has an opinion on Marshall. Including me. There’s no doubt Marshall is a talented and gifted athlete. When he brought those attri-

butes to Chicago, he immediately gave them an offensive weapon that more than often gave opposing defenses matchup difficulties. The problem was, he also brought a fair amount of baggage with him. I think it’s that baggage that eventually caused the Bears to trade him and a seventh round draft pick to the New York Jets for a fifth round pick. His off the field antics and distractions, combined with his tirades on the sidelines and in the locker room, made him expendable in the eyes of the new regime running the team. The comments I’ve heard from the fans around here have run the gamut from “good riddance” to “why on earth would they get rid of their best player?” I’d fall somewhere in the middle. I believe the Bears were a better team on the field last season when Marshall suited up and played up to his potential. In that regard, he’ll be missed. But this season’s team will be better off without the negativity that inevitably seems to follow Marshall wherever he goes. In that regard, I’m glad he’s gone. Longtime advice columnist Dear Abby used to ask readers, “Are you better off with him, or without him?” I think Abby would be happy that the Bears made the right decision.

goal with an 11-7 edge. Antti Raanta was in net for Rockford and the Wolves had Jordan Binnington manning the pipes for Chicago. The sandwich stanza belonged to Rockford as the ‘Hogs held a commanding 14-2 shots advantage, but more importantly, tallied three markers to take a 3-0 lead. Brandon Mashinter deflected a Ville Pokka shot at 11:23 to put Rockford up 1-0. At 17:27 of the period, Spencer Abbott tallied his ninth of the season, and second with Rockford, on an unassisted tally to double Rockford’s lead to 2-0. Abbott got around the side of the Chicago defense, made a nice toe-drag back to the outside, and threw a shot over the shoulder of Binnington for the goal. Just 79 seconds later Ryan Hartman scored a power play goal, assisted by Carey and Abbott, to give Rockford a commanding 3-0 lead going into the third frame. Chicago’s Shane Harper ended Raanta’s bid for a shutout 7:46 into the final period to cut the lead to 3-1. Rockford held tight and Mark McNeill scored an empty net goal with 1:39 to all but seal the Rockford win, putting the ‘Hogs up 4-1. Dylan Fournier was called for Holding the Stick with 1:08 remaining in the game, giving the Wolves a hint of life in the game. Adam Cracknell took advantage 22 seconds into the 6-on-4 advantage, and cut the ‘Hogs lead to 4-2 with 46 seconds left.

Chicago tallied again quickly, 15 seconds later, to make this a real contest by cutting the score to 4-3 with 31 seconds remaining in regulation. Rockford would not allow another mistake or goal in the waning seconds, and the IceHogs held on for a 4-3 victory. The weekend split gave Rockford 75 points from 60 games, putting them in fifth place, one point behind the San Antonio Rampage who are sitting at 76 with 61 games played. Unless the IceHogs can overtake the Griffins, who are in first place with 82 points and 62 games played, the best playoff position they can get is the fourth seed as the top three positions in the conference are reserved for the first place team in each respective division. Rockford will play four straight home games with three home games in week 23 starting with a matchup tonight against the Adirondack Heat, followed by a rematch three days later on Saturday night. On Sunday the IceHogs host the Texas Stars for the final time this season. The Sunday game also marks Rockford’s annual Jersey Auction Night, with the theme for this year being Autism Awareness. After the game the jersey’s will be auctioned off via a traditional live auction. The players will be on-hand to sign each jersey and pose for a photograph with the player after the winning bid has been accepted.

COACHES

From Back Cover

special emphasis on underserved communities”, he addressed the topic of the lack of soccer-dedicated courts and settings. In the short post, he took feedback from both new and experienced coaches in addition to players who cited “facilities are hard to come by and that a small, intimate, soccer-specific space is the perfect forum for youth to participate, grow, and fall in love with the game. The U.S. Soccer Foundation’s Mini Pitch Initiative is set up to enhance, assist and grow the beautiful game in places it has traditionally struggled. Whether you want to call it a soccer court, a mini pitch, futsal, or 5-aside, we are all speaking the same language – creating safe places to play the game in a soccer-specific venue.” In sport, music, art, or any dedicated discipline, however, the main onus should be on the participant. Aside from the by-products of a technology-addicted, overscheduled society, a player who sees soccer as a chore is a player who has most likely only played in “controlled environments”. Good players play with an eye to get better next time whereas great players play with an eye to get better every time. To be candid, youth players today are more likely to pick up their smartphones than a soccer ball after school or at the weekend. Part of what separated the good players from the great players I played with and against was the additional work they put into their craft. And most of those players excelled academically as well as athletically because they eliminated distractions. The simplicity of the solution is astounding, but the complexity of the problem is even more remarkable. I recently called ten coaches from various clubs and high schools of varying ages and talent levels to gain some perspective on the current state of coaching. We discussed the upcoming season and the expectations and goals for their teams. In each conversation I made sure I asked this poignant question: “How many hours a week do the players spend playing with the club (or school) each week?” The answers surprised me. The four high school environments were comprised of two public schools and two private schools, with three boys’ teams and one girls’ team. All four coaches held training sessions lasting 90

minutes to two hours on four days (immediately after school) with two 80 minute-games a week. On the high end, players are in a “controlled environment” theoriginalcoach.com for around 10 hours and 40 minutes. At academy clubs in four states, each in a different region of the U.S., I asked the same question. Each club coach said he followed the U.S. Soccer Development Academy guideline of four mandatory training sessions weekly extended across a 10-month season with approximately 30 games. The average time players spent in the “controlled environment” for the academy was around 12-13 hours a week. One added caveat was, per U.S. Development Academy rules, players must abide by the “No outside participation for full-time Academy players”-rule each club reinforced. The last two clubs were admittedly recreational with a lower level of play and more inclusive setting for the U11-U13 (boys) age range. These

coaches held two practices a week lasting 90 minutes with one game on the weekend where everyone received playing time. These players spent around five hours with their clubs. In comparison with top players in Europe and South America in particular, the actual applied hours spent playing the game in a controlled environment was considerably less in the U.S. environments. At established South American clubs such as Gremio, Fluminense, and Corinthians in Brazil as well as Boca Juniors in Argentina, players typically train twice a week until the age of 15 when they join a residency program (provided they are good enough) allowing them to train five days a week for around three hours a day. At famed academies in the Netherlands, most notably De Toekomst (Ajax) and Varkenoord (Feyenoord), and in Germany (Borussia

Dortmund), a similar system exists to ramp up the hours young players have in the controlled environments. For young players in these elite academies the quality and intensity of the training is not comparable to the teams of coaches I spoke with whatsoever. But there is a bigger differentiator at play here than elite academy structures — free play. In strong footballing nations, most players get a large percentage of their dedicated hours in on their own across the talent spectrum. Prospective professionals and average players partake in pickup games in community parks, in city centers and football cages to get supplemental training. The best academy products are seldom born with the mercurial gifts of Lionel Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo. Most great players dedicated hours to playing the game without the constructs and oversight of

‘The current generation of players has more access to the game than any previous one, and yet that game remains on the screens of their televisions and smartphones... We are at a crossroads where the sport is growing but the parks remain vacant. Street soccer is still so niche in the United States that it might as well be non-existent.’ coaches outside of their dedicated training in a controlled environment. Free play and pickup games teach players to be creative and tough. The story of Raheem Sterling’s discovery in the book The Nowhere Men by Michael Calvin details the magnitude pickup games had in Sterling’s development prior to and during his time with Queens Park Rangers’ Centre of Excellence. Along with allowing time for intense repetition training (10,000 touches), it forces players to improvise and augment their own training approach. It is no secret that free play creates better leaders and eliminates coach-induced pressures that affect player performance. This environment helps players identify who they are as individuals away from label-heavy team settings. The Tahuichi Academy is located in Santa Cruz, Bolivia. Santa Cruz suffers from drug-related criminal activity in addition to high crime rates and many of the players at the academy aim to use soccer as a way out. Tahuichi is everything that a conventional academy is not. There are no nice practice pitches. Instead, players train on dusty and bumpy pitches daily. Products of Tahuichi’s academy use the poor playing

conditions to great effect and the result is the development of players with a deft first touch and supreme ball control. Players run through streams and up sand dunes to build strength. Much of the equipment is secondhand and donated. The approach is minimalist, but the results are extraordinary. In my life, I have played against Tahuichi teams in Europe three times and found their teams to be some of the toughest, fittest, and most skilled opponents I played against on European soil. And the players were humble and reserved. Most moments of free time I spent in the company of these players was enjoyed playing pickup games with players from other teams. Perhaps these players with no material goods or money to their names had a richer understanding of the essence of the game. The current generation of players has more access to the game than any previous one, and yet that game remains on the screens of their televisions and smartphones. The heads of established professional leagues, Development Academy club teams, and the federations themselves, do not seem to recognize that over-coaching creates under-developed

players. We are at a crossroads where the sport is growing but the parks remain vacant. Street soccer is still so niche in the United States – and possibly Great Britain – that it might as well be non-existent. Players exposed to street soccer or playing enough pickup games remain an anomaly. The US Development Academy stresses that players can take part in no outside participation other than activities with the Academy team which sets a precedent that the hours in a controlled environment are sufficient. The current generation of young players has to be weaned off the need for constant praise from parents and coaches. Instead, they need to covet self-approval and reaffirmation of their own need to improve without the dependence of “needing” a coach. In providing seemingly everything to kids, society has stripped away their creativity, self-motivation, and willingness to put the extra hours in through continued and sustained pampering. The call to action is a simple one. We can do more with less. For some reason, the sport here is largely treated as an overly-organized sport whereas the rest of the world regards it as a lifestyle. Organized soccer will continue to

drive the direction of the game, but the games largely exists outside this organized structure even if people fail to realize this. What is perplexing is how little the pickup game is valued by this generation and how little free play is valued by high profile coaches. Most coaches, whether it’s intentional or not, become the active participant in each drill. Many a training session is filled with “rehearsed” phrases and constant on-the-fly critiques and instructions that players begin to frame training with a chore. The current crop of coaches can say so much more by saying very little. The game is meant to be played freely. There is a time and place for organized soccer, but if that is all players play, then enjoyment, creativity, leadership, and fun will have to be “coached” into players going forward instead of being developed organically.

Tales from the Trough

IceHogs settle for weekend split

Rockford drops points Friday, lose ground on division leader By Todd Reicher Exclusive to TRRT

With the post-season encroaching, the Rockford IceHogs split a pair of games this weekend leaving them in fifth place in the Western Conference. Rockford’s first game in week 22 took place Saturday in Grand Rapids against the ultra-hot Griffins. Prior to the game, the Griffins were riding a 17 game point streak, showing an amazing 13-0-3-1 record in that span. The IceHogs controlled the pace for most of the first period, holding an 8-4 sots-on-goal advantage in the first 20 minutes. However, both goaltenders; Michael Leighton for Rockford and Tom McCollum for Grand Rapids, stopped all shots on them, leaving the game a 0-0 tie after 20 minutes. Rockford finally struck gold with a power play goal 14:09 into the second period to take a 1-0 lead. Matt Carey scored his eighth of the season, assisted by Peter Regin and Stephen Johns. Just over three minutes later, the Griffins tied the game with a power play marker of their own. Ryan Sproul potted his fourth marker at 17:41 to even things up at 1-1. The Griffins took their first lead of the game with 51 seconds remaining in the period. Kevin Porter scored his 11th of the season to give Grand Rapids the lead heading into the final frame. With five minutes left in the game, Captain Jeff Hoggan lit the lamp for the 10th time this season, putting Grand Rapids up 3-1 late in the game. Despite sending Leighton to the bench for the extra attacker Rockford was unable to put another puck past McCollum, and wound up being defeated 3-1. The following afternoon Rockford faceed the Chicago Wolves in their final trip to the Allstate Arena this season. As a minor reward, the IceHogs could take home the Illinois State Lottery Cup with a win over the Wolves. For the second game in a row, both teams headed into the first intermission with a scoreless tie. Chicago held a slight advantage in shots on See ICEHOGS on Page 51

Coaches’ Corner

The Game is Free By Jon Townsend

The Original Coach

have this memory of my father showing me a clip of Pelé juggling a grapefruit when I was a boy that reminds me how simple the game really is. Like any young boy who loved to play, seeing Pelé do anything with a ball was nothing short of magical. That memory recently coincided with a scene from the movie “Escape to Victory” where Cpl. Luis Fernandez (Pelé) juggles a ball on his head while Captain John Colby (Michael Caine) asks, “Where’d you learn to do that?” to which Cpl. Fernandez says, “When I was a boy, in Trinidad, in the streets, with the oranges,” while continuing to juggle the ball. I immediately ran out to the orange tree in the backyard, plucked an orange from a low-hanging branch and unsuccessfully tried to juggle it like Pelé. To this day, my record of juggling an orange like a soccer ball is 12. What’s the point of this little anecdote? Each day I follow a routine. Part of this routine involves driving 35 miles across a state line to the office where I work. Along the way I drive by a total of three public parks, one suburban park near the town I live in and two city parks, all with an abundance of real estate and plenty of soccer fields with goals and nets. On the weekends, I often make this same drive and there’s a troubling sight. The soccer fields are devoid of anyone playing pickup games in an area known for a rich history in the sport in the United States. This summer, I decided to drive up to the fields of each park. What I found was troubling. The suburban park had a sign that read, “Keep off

the Field” and another that said, “No Play Except on Game Days”. The city parks had no such signs but we still left vacant. Keep off the field? No play except on game days? Over the summer months, when kids are out of school and seemingly have more free time, I visited these parks again and still found them empty. Other areas of both the suburban and city parks were bustling with people playing recreational games of gridiron football and the basketball courts accommodated recreational basketball games. On occasions, I visit where I grew up; the same park pitches I used to frequent after school now sit empty. However, it was not always this way. In the last 10-15 years, pickup soccer has become a lost game. Whether it was Jumpers for Goalposts in the park or a game my friends and I played called Three Bar (a common game in pickup ice hockey), most of the hours previous generations accumulated in the game were outside of structured games and training sessions. The reality is the hours spent at practice are simply not enough for maximum improvement. What else has changed is the value placed on pickup soccer. We exist in a time where one could argue that too much infrastructure is in place. Suburban players typically do not partake in pickup games for a variety of reasons, including technology and parental interference. According to the American Accreditation HealthCare Commission, most American kids spend about three hours a day watching television with additional “screen time” accumulation through tablets, computers, and smartphones.

The finding states that all types of screen time can total five to seven hours a day. In addition to the time lost, kids are more apt to eat junk food during these hours. Lethargy and extended periods of sedentary time have become a lifestyle. The next contributing factor is the community. Parks that have signs up prohibiting people from playing on the fields is problematic, but not out of the realm of understanding. Facilities managers want to maintain the condition of the fields, nets, and goals. Signs with “Keep Off ” emblazoned on in bold lettering send a message that parks have become places where playing is viewed as prohibitive. Next on the list of culprits are parents. Parents are guilty of competing with one another and using their children as leverage. The result is a type of systemic parental competition where parents overschedule activities for their kids in an attempt to reinforce the assertion that their child is the most talented and well-rounded of the bunch. The over-involvement in so many activities has resulted in a generation of exhausted, robotic and unmotivated kids that have grown up needing constant prompting. For players in more urban environments, access to safe places to play is a problem. In a recent blog post titled “Small Space, Big Impact” by Jim Hannesschlager, Grants Coordinator for the U.S. Soccer Foundation, an organization that aims “to enhance, assist and grow the sport of soccer in the United States, with See COACHES on Page 52

‘There is a time and place for organized soccer, but if that is all players play, then enjoyment, creativity, leadership and fun will have to be ‘coached’ into players, instead of being developed organically.’
