Studio Theatre axed; We

Budget cuts make Starlight future uncertain

By Richard S. Gubbe

Contributor

uts in arts and sports are the first to find the ax in a secondary education budget crisis. Now the purge is taking place at the junior college level with the elimination of the indoor Studio Theatre productions at Rock Valley College.

The structure of the Studio Theatre indoor plays – four per year – are linked to the school’s theater program, where students participate in

acting, production and critiquing of the indoor and outdoor shows. The school has been a nesting place for fledgling actors, specifically those interested in theater performance. The result of its success has filtered into the community to form the base of a strong outdoor program.

RVC Director Mike Webb led a growth of theater in the region for the past three decades. He handled everything from the selection of scripts that exceeded $20,000 at times to the supervising of volunteers who took tickets at the events.

Webb has been a producer of revenue and of national talent. Outside of Chicago, the RVC theaters, indoor and outdoor, garner the most respect.

He has provided refuge for those seeking asylum from math and science to go on to careers in New

York, Chicago and Los Angeles.

The likes of Joe Coots, recently one of the lead actors in the national touring show of the Broadway hit Kinky Boots, performed in more than 460 shows. Samantha Owen is employed in the competitive theater world in New York and will perform in the 2016 production of Phantom of the Opera. There are many others who have gone on to strong arts colleges and others who have made theater a part of their life from Starlight shows of 50 years past when seats were tree stumps.

Although Webb has been nearing retirement, the uphill battle he faces may not worth the effort.

“It might just be easier for me to retire,” a disconsolate Webb told The Times. The school is considering a consultant to replace him to steer the

outdoor program and reinstate the Studio program if or when a budget allows. Housed next to each other, the indoor theater has been neglected for expansion with a modest 172 seats. Starlight Theatre is a strong outdoor venue with a star-shaped, open or closed roof.

There are differing formulas for the calculating of costs for both the indoor and outdoor programs.

RVC Board Member Patrick Murphy told The Times the board goes off the numbers put forth by the administration. The administration reported them to the board, he said, which voted on each of the cuts presented at meetings.

Numbers reported in other media outlets have varied, some of which are direct program cost versus total actual cost that includes everything

‘I did the best I could under the circumstances. I did what I was told to do by the chief financial officer: sell tickets and control costs. They can show the money any way they want to. ’ -RVC Theater Director Mike Webb

ebb retiring? down to maintenance and utilities, and add in the proportionate amount of salary of the employee for hours relating to that program.

“When you go off of a (program) budget versus actuals, the budget doesn’t include full salaries,” Murphy said. “We include partial salaries, maintenance and everything else.”

Murphy said the decisions being made are based on meeting a school budget shortfall he says will be $7.4 million for this fiscal year. Murphy said the overall release of funds to junior colleges was supposed to be 30 percent of the average junior college budget, but schools got a mere 6.7 percent of state funding promised. He added the school is expecting nothing more for this year and the worst for next year.

“That certainly doesn’t make things easier,” Murphy said, adding that the average of 30 percent of budget money given to junior college was just an average.

“We got 16 percent. I don’t see any hope they will reinstate anything,” Murphy added. “We’re not expecting anything further in 2016 and 2017 doesn’t look promising.”

Starlight could be the next to go. “Starlight loses money every year as well,” Murphy, citing an average loss of nearly $3 million each of the last three years using actual costs. Other estimates have Starlight profitable in recent seasons.

The elimination of the arts at the high school level had a devastating effect in area public schools.

Webb said the cutting of programs like Studio Theatre could have the same effect of depleting arts in the community and affect enrollment in the 14 classes currently offered.

Webb also sees a reduction in students enrolling in a theater program that has no outlet for expression and on-the-job training.

“I would agree with that,” Webb said.

Mike Mastroianni, Rock Valley College president, said in a statement to The Times: “We have approximately 50 students who enroll in theater courses each year, most of whom take those classes to fulfill general education requirements but never actually perform. Studio Theatre performances – like Starlight Theatre – utilize primarily community actors and some students choose to audition. As a playwright myself, I find it unfortunate that students who would have enjoyed a Studio Theatre experience will not have that opportunity for the foreseeable future. As a college president and citizen, I find it even more disappointing that the state budget crisis has placed Rock Valley College in a position where we can no longer provide funds to subsidize programs that do not break even. ”None of these decisions is easy for us or the other colleges, universities, and state agencies who have not received the funding owed to us for nearly a year. The lack of funding is having historic impact

throughout our state right now, as well as affecting our ability to plan for future years.”

Whatever the actual or budget program costs, Studio in its current form, got the ax. If cuts continue, Starlight, with its far-larger deficit than Studio, could be next.

“I think some people knew what a gem it was,” Webb says of Starlight. “The rest of them, I can’t speak for them. I did the best I could under the circumstances. I did what I was told to do by the chief financial officer: sell tickets and control costs. They can show the money any way they want to. But I know that we are as close to positive as we can be except for department salaries and we do a lot of other things beside the theater shows.”

Webb has the belief that a bigger indoor venue would help produce more revenue if the proper resources were allocated.

“Seats equal revenue and that’s what it boils down to,” he said. “I got as much money out of 172 seats as I possibly could. I don’t know what else to do. If that’s the way they’re going to look at it, then that’s the way they’re going to look at it.”

With Webb’s possible retirement, Murphy said a consultant is being considered and would advise the administration on who to hire to replace Webb, whose rehearsal schedule begins in March and ends in July for the outdoor season.

“When they said they were going to hire a consultant, I was like, ‘Oh, Okay’ I chuckled to myself. Whatever. If that will make you feel better, I suppose. I can tell you how to do this. I’ve been doing it but okay.”

License fees create bonus pot

Illinois motorists have paid more than $6.5 million this year for failing to renew vehicle license plates on time

By Amy Korte Illinois Policy

The Illinois secretary of state suspended mailing license-plate-renewal reminders as of October 2015 to save $450,000 a month during the state’s budget crisis; as a result, the state of Illinois has received a $3.5 million windfall in fees for late license-plate renewals during the first four months of 2016, according to the Associated Press.

Between January and April 2016, Illinois vehicle owners paid $6.5 million in fees for renewing their license plates late, up from $3 million during the same period in 2015. In April 2016 alone, Illinois collected $1.6 million in late fees, whereas in April 2015, the state took in just under $757,000 in late fees.

Over 327,000 motorists received $20 fines for late vehicle-registration renewal in the first four months of 2016, compared with around 149,000 people from January through April 2015, according to data provided to AP by the secretary of state’s office.

Currently, Illinoisans who renew their vehicle registrations late are subject to a fee of $20 in addition to the $101 renewal fee, and anyone driving with expired registration risks traffic tickets as well.

The Illinois House unanimously passed a bill April 12 prohibiting the secretary of state from charging fees to vehicle owners who renew their vehicle registration late due to the secretary of state’s suspension of mailed renewal notices.

House Bill 4334 further provides that a vehicle owner who receives a ticket for expired license plates within one month of the plates’ expiration does not have to pay the fine if the plates expired during the period in which the secretary of state had suspended mailing vehicle-registration-re-

minder notices.

HB 4334 is now pending in the Illinois Senate.

The bill would take effect upon becoming law and, although the secretary of state’s office stopped mailing registration-renewal reminders in October 2015, it is not retroactive.

Illinois Secretary of State Jesse White has reported that 2.1 million people have signed up for email registration-renewal reminders thus far in 2016, compared with a little over 1 million people during the same time in 2015. Vehicle owners can sign up online for email reminders of registration-renewal deadlines.

Illinois is in its 11th month without a budget, and its unpaid bills total over $6.5 billion.

Employers announce fewer large April layoffs

By Joe Kaiser Illinois Policy

Reported layoffs in Illinois lessened during the month of April, with only 450 jobs lost in mass layoffs from five different companies. Three other companies that had filed layoff notices in previous months indicated they would be making a total of 40 permanent and six temporary additional cuts in personnel.

The data come from the Illinois Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification, or WARN, report, which is limited in scope to large layoffs that occur in Illinois. WARN report data are not necessarily reflective of the general economy.

Layoffs captured by the WARN report have declined over the past several months. Roughly 900 employees were laid off in March, while February saw 1,680, and 1,370 employees received notice of layoffs in January.

Close to half of the job losses in April were in the greater Chicago area. The owner of the Berghoff Restaurant in Chicago announced that she is selling the business to her brother. In the process, Berghoff is laying off 156 workers, but they all will have an opportunity to apply to be rehired. LYNX Services LLC in Buffalo Grove announced 55 layoffs, and UTi Integrated Logistics in Aurora announced 31.

Other layoffs came at Kmart in Bradley, which laid off 125 employees, and Dynegy Midwest Generation LLC in Alton, which laid off 83. Olin Corp. in East Alton filed a supplemental notice of an additional 34 layoffs, and Computershare Inc. in Chicago reported six more jobs lost. Nippon Sharyo Manufacturing LLC in Rochelle announced temporary layoffs for six positions.

Illinois had a loss of 25 manufacturing jobs per workday on net in 2015, according to federal

data. So far, Illinois has not seen the type of major manufacturing job losses in 2016 that are captured by the WARN report. Only six came in the entire month of April as part of large layoffs, with Nippon Sharyo Manufacturing LLC in Rochelle announcing those as temporary layoffs, adding to the 100 layoffs the company announced in September 2015. Unfortunately, this doesn’t mean the manufacturing sector is thriving, but at least large layoffs and closures were down in April.

Energy & Environment

Wildfires as ecological tipping points

By Drs. Robert & Sonia Vogl

President and Vice President, Illinois Renewable Energy Association

T

he overwhelming environmental news this week is the wildfire that forced over 88,000 people to evacuate Fort McMurray, Alberta. Eighty percent of the homes in one neighborhood were destroyed. Stunned residents lost everything, including pets. Fortunately, no deaths or serious injuries have been reported. Hazardous evacuation routes were described as “apocalyptic” by drivers who could barely see a foot in front of their vehicles through the dense smoke. Chaos and panic reigned.

The average May high temperature for Fort McMurray is 50 F; the record for the day was 82 F; the temperature on the day of the fire was 90 F. Starting in dry timber west of the city, the fire jumped the Athabasca River before proceeding on its ferocious course. Currently, with still more smaller fires burning, no end is in sight. The Province of Alberta has declared the area a disaster zone. According to local sources, “conditions remained ‘tinder-dry’” throughout the province.

Not only Fort McMurray is in danger; Alberta has broadened the evacuation zone.

A few days later, another wildfire was reported in British Columbia at the same latitude as Fort McMurray.

What causes these dreadful conflagrations?

The first western wildfires were attributed to an accumulation of years of unburned fuel which simply must be removed (by fire) and conditions would return to normal. But the Yellowstone fires of 1988 were actually the beginning of a tipping point that is climate-triggered. In the blink of an earth-eye, humans are raising earth’s average temperature by more than half its variation during the past 600 million years – the entire lifetime of complex organisms on earth. Trees are not only dry – they are like kiln-dried lumber so that any spark, whether from lightning or a careless person, can ignite a conflagration. After 1988, hotter summers were the new normal.

Pine bark beetles, formerly blamed for the de-

mise of thousands of trees, now are about twice as numerous as in the past, a result of unusually warm winters. Scenic, mature green trees have been reduced to ugly brown sticks composing a new landscape.

Recently, a fisherman friend of ours, Bob Piros, followed his hobby in a trout stream near Winter Park, Colorado, while his daughters skied. As he moved up and down the stream, he was horrified to find miles of tepee-like structures along the banks. Upon investigation, he discovered that these were lodgepole pines that had died in vast numbers. They were stacked

after being cut down along roads and trails and in campgrounds to avoid injury.

The North American West is not the only region experiencing the devastating effects of hotter summers. Other wildfires throughout the world have wreaked havoc. Australia, South America and parts of Europe, Asia and Africa have experienced wildfires leaving people homeless and permanently changing cities. More fires, longer fires and loss of lives and homes continue unabated.

To many these disasters are considered unique recent tragedies, expanding during the past few years; not “normal.” But Elizabeth A.

Hadley suggests that to those born after 1988, they will be something that has always has occurred during their lifetimes and will become the “new normal.” An earth that we can barely fathom will become their new world.

As of this writing, the fire reported, one of 40 in Alberta, doubled in size in one day. No end is in sight. While the cause is unknown, the dry conditions which enabled its rapid growth are just one tipping point scientists predicted will accelerate if we fail to curtail greenhouse gas emissions.

Swedes Cancer Center volunteers honored

SwedishAmerican is pleased to announce that two of its volunteers, Rae Biesiadecki and Carolyn Truninger, were honored at a recent Association of Fundraising Professionals luncheon for their efforts in supporting cancer services at SwedishAmerica.

Rae and Carolyn work tirelessly each year at SwedishAmerican’s annual Puttin’ on the Glitz fashion show and luncheon, an event that raises money for SwedishAmerican’s oncology patients and their families.

Visiting Mr. Wingert on Visiting Mr. Green

By Anne E. O’Keefe Rockford Area Arts Council

I

recently had the chance to visit with Gary Wingert, perhaps best known here for his role at Artists’ Ensemble, as Jeeves, in the series by Margaret Raether.

His current role is Mr. Green in Visiting Mr. Green, by Jeff Baron. The show that opened off Broadway in 1998 and ran for more than a year at the Union Square Theatre in Greenwich Village is now translated into 23 languages and has played in 46 countries. When asked about why he feels there is universal appeal of the play, Wingert said, “Because it is a world-wide condition, the isolation of old age.” The play uses humor to engage the audience.

Josh Krause, a Milwaukee actor, plays Ross and both appeared in Jeeves at Sea at the beginning of the season. Between AE’s season opener and this production, Wingert was in Agamemnon, at the Court Theatre in Chicago.

“It was an amazing experience, doing one of the oldest existing plays in history,” said Wingert. In addition to playing several theaters in Chicago, Wingert has performed in San Diego at the Old Globe and at theaters in New Jersey and Seattle.

“I love what I do,” he went on to say.

Wingert taught high school English for 30 years and says teaching is similar to acting.

“You have your objective for the day, which is getting from point A to point B and how you’re going to get there is dependent on what you get from your class when teaching and from your audience when you are on stage,” Wingert explained.

He is also an accomplished piano player.

The Rockford Area Arts Council is happy to support AE’s efforts in a collaboration with Temple Beth-El. “Today social reform is colliding with what is called religious freedom, or traditional beliefs. Religion is complicated. It doesn’t matter if you are talking about Christianity, Islam or Judaism. There are conservative and liberal groups in each.

And where does religious doctrine end and tradition begin? Rabbi Wing was a great resource as we worked on a play that wrestles with these issues,” said Director, Richard Raether. Rabbi Wing will be hosting a discussion on the issues brought up in the play at 10 a.m. on Sunday, May 22 at Temple Beth-El, 1203 Comanche Dr., in Rockford.

AE concludes the season with Carter W. Lewis’s Women Who Steal, June 10-26. Susan Gosdick, Betsy Baker, and Scott Chachula present what is described as, “Gal pals out for night of vengeance.”

Visiting Mr. Green, sponsored by BMO Harris Bank, runs through May 22, and is performed on Thursdays at 7:30 p.m., Fridays at 8 p.m., Saturdays at 4 p.m. and 8 p.m., and Sundays at 2 p.m. Thursday tickets are just $19. All other performances are $30, $28 for seniors, and $10 for students. Purchase tickets at artistsensemble. org or call the box office at 815-394-5004. AE is in residence at the Cheek Theatre at Rockford University, 5050 East State Street. <<<Gary Wingert, left, potrays Mr. Green along with co-star Josh Krause. John Cobb

Civil War what a superhero film should be

By Thomas Simpson Contributor

A

fter the underwhelming release of Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, Marvel pits its own heroes against each other in Captain America: Civil War. Although this looks on the surface to be an excuse to churn out an Avengers film pre-Infinity War, the latest installment to the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) continues the political warfare themes of previous Captain America films, Civil War being the conclusion of the trilogy.

Superhero films – such as Man of Steel – were heavily criticized for their disaster porn voyeurism. Civil War sees the Avengers being taking to task for the collateral damage they’ve caused with the US Secretary of State Thaddeus Ross (William Hurt) informing the team that the UN will pass legislation to monitor and govern them.

While Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr) is in agreement Captain America (Chris Evans) is skeptical of the implications of this action.

When his old buddy the Winter Soldier (Sebastian Stan) resurfaces, Cap finds himself on the wrong side of the law which results in a split in the Avengers camp with our heroes choosing sides.

Marvel has once again raised the bar as Civil War just might be the best film they’ve released so far. The action is incredible with wonderfully choreographed fight sequences preventing this from being an overblown CGI fest.

Many characters from the MCU are thrown into the mix here but none are lost in the shuffle with each one fulfilling their role perfectly including the first appearance of Black

Panther (Chadwick Boseman). Boseman is brilliant in his role, however the biggest talking point was that Spider-Man would be making his debut to the MCU. Played by Tom Holland, the character is a delight full of trademark wisecracks and a nerdish demeanor. As the character is introduced, there’s no tired origin story here with even a few meta jokes thrown in at the playful expense of casting Marisa Tomei’ as Aunt May. Although Spider-Man remains a commodity of Sony, Marvel have arguably presented the definitive on-screen version of the web-slinger.

There’s great promise here for Holland’s first

standalone film.

Another character that many feel is overdue her own film is Scarlet Johansen’s Black Widow.

Johansen is fantastic in the role and delivers her best performance in the series here. Which is also the case for most of the cast.

The Russo Brothers have showcased the depth of the characters, extracting the nuances of Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely’s screenplay. The script is full of psychological themes, including allusions to the Patriot Act and how superheroes would deal with the real life consequences of their existence. Not that the film is steeped in realism, Civil War is an

action fantasy film that feels like the comic book movie it is.

Captain America: Civil War gives us extravagant and exciting battles with an interesting plot with enough humor to prevent this from being an overly serious and joyless affair. There’s much to enjoy here as Marvel progresses a universe it first kicked off in a post-credits scene 9 years ago. It has been an ambitious project and one that has often rewarded fans.

Check into Bates Motel’s season finale

By Paula Hendrickson Contributor

F

or the most part, I’ve really enjoyed A&E’s original series, Bates Motel. While the first three seasons occasionally had uneven storylines and meandered a bit thanks to less-thanthrilling B-stories, this fourth season has really honed in on Norman’s mental illness, which is one of the driving forces of the series (the other is his relationship with his usually well-meaning but totally screwed up mom, Norma, which may or may not have contributed to his psychological distress). The fourth season has also been a showcase for the British actor who plays him, Freddie Highmore.

It had to be a daunting task to take on such an iconic character, but without copying Anthony Perkins memorable portrayal of a slightly older Norman Bates in the 1960 film, Psycho, Highmore’s mannerisms and expressions subtlety echo Perkins’ embodiment of the classic character. But it’s in Norman’s hallucinations and blackouts – when his mind is taken over by his internalized version of his mother – that Highmore’s work really shines. It’s as if a series of micro expressions wash over his face to transform him from Norman into Norma (Vera Farmiga). Before he speaks a word you know Mother has taken over.

At the start of this season, the line between Norman and Norma’s psyches blurred so much that when lucid, Norman truly thought his mother was a killer. It was impossible not to feel his desperation, or hers as she finally realizes her son needs help she can’t provide.

This season began with Norman being admitted to a psychiatric hospital, where it took some time for him to stop resisting and begin to open up to his psychiatrist, Dr. Edwards (Damon Gupton). Not unlike Norma, I found myself hoping that somehow, someway Norman would get better, but I’ve seen the movie so I know that’s not in the cards. Norman’s progress is thwarted when he sees a newspaper clipping saying his mother wed Sheriff Romano (Nestor Carbonell).

He immediately starts manipulating his way to an early release.

Norman’s self-awareness steadily grew this season, too, culminating in a pivotal scene where he finds a suitcase containing his most recent victim’s belongings. He doesn’t remember killing her, but knows if he isn’t a killer his mother is. At

that instant, Normal seems to realize he’s broken.

Highmore conveys all that, and more, without a word.

Even more impressive? Highmore wrote the May 2 episode in which Norman’s jealousy of Romano explodes in near homicidal rage – which Norma later downplays as a bad reaction – insinuating that her axe-wielding son didn’t mean to kill her husband, since he was still alive.

Despite everything Norman has done – including a murder-suicide attempt in last week’s episode, which was his warped way of protecting and preserving the bond between mother and son – he’s still a very sympathetic (albeit appropriately creepy) and gentle character. That’s due partly to the writing, but mostly to Highmore’s chilling and surprisingly heartfelt performance.

While I can’t wait for the season finale, I dread having to wait until 2017 for the next new episode.

Catching up with WYBR’s David Potter

By Todd Houston Exclusive to TRRT

R

ockford Rocked Interview: You spent some time with the Rockford radio station WYBR back in the 1980s. What was your role at the station. Were you spinning discs?

David Potter: My time at the original Oscar’s downtown (Remember Bad Brad Hefton’s exhibition fight there?) had me running the bar, and on the weekends; DJing with a fella who happen to be the Program Director at WYBR – who had broken away from the Yellow Brick Road persona and was now trying its hand at AOR (Adult Oriented Rock) – we spent many weekends perusing the Rockford/ Chicago record bins for cool stuff to accompany the incoming new stuff. That got my foot in the door at WYBR. Turns out two factors were happening at the same time; the station owners in Texas were filing to sell the station, and they also wanted my DJ buddy and the Music Director outta there. I was standing there to pick up the pieces with Tim Crull and Sky Drysdale.

RRI: So this wasn’t during the time the “yellow brick road” was at the Cherryvale mall?

DP: Absolutely not, this iteration of WYBR (its last before the X) had its studios along the golf course on Sandy Hollow (less mall patrons staring into the windows).

RRI: Even for hardcore music fans, being around any kind of music day and night could get rather daunting. If you had to pick a song to never hear again in your lifetime what would it be?

DP: Okay, this is tough, because I really believe even the worst songs can inspire the best ones to be written – but with all the great songs they produced – did Starship really need We Built this City? And I’m a big hair band fan as well, but Europe’s The Final Countdown?

RRI: You eventually left radio to go to work for and manage some popular Rockford area clubs. Tell us about Channels on State and

Madison. I remember national acts like Black Flag playing there. Was it a punk club?

DP: I had the bar stuff mixed with the music stuff, so there was no order to my chaos (seriously, no order, just chaos) I kind of fell into every situation: Channels was a friend of mine’s passion, and he did it really well. I happened to be working with Robin and Mike at the State and Madison conglomerate of nightclubs and bars – this is before social media — I mean actually, it could’ve been the model for how social media works, friends share with friends, share with other friends. That’s how everyone was, constantly moving around in packs, even though they were claiming independence from the “norm”. Anyway, John (Soroka) brought in all kinds of great alternative acts, including Black Flag, the Cure, etc. At the same time, all the way upstairs in the same building, Bruce Hammond (and WYBR most of the time) was bringing in Warrant, Saraya, Alannah Myles, etc. That area of downtown truly was a mecca for a time.

RRI: Cubby O’Brien’s was hopping around Rockford in the late ‘80s and ‘90s with four or five locations. They just sort of disappeared overnight. What the hell happened there?

DP: You know, my stint with Cubby’s was in the kitchen. Yup, that’s right. But it was early on, before the original owner sold the franchise… and around the time they folded.

I think I was trying to escape the area, so not sure what happened. They had a great thing going though.

RRI: You eventually ended up at the old Shakey’s location at a blues club called Rush St. I can recall seeing some great blues acts there including Buddy Miles, Lonnie Brooks and Duke Tumatoe. Were you involved with booking the bands?

DP: I was not, again – right place, right time – the owner knew me from around town/ bars/music, etc. and so I fit right in behind the bar, patrons knew me and so on. The after show partying with the acts was always the

draw for me, the ideology of the rock ‘n’ roll party lifestyle was true at that point anyway.

Great shows, greater times after-wards. And also, the Blues Whores (this was a group of folks that gathered at the same places to catch great blues music) were prominent at that point, they were always organizing music road trips and seeing great acts. It was awesome to witness this passion for music.

RRI: Being around the bar area on a regular basis you must have overheard some of the world’s cheesiest “pickup” lines. What was the worst that you can recall hearing?

DP: Oh man, I don’t want to ruin any poor sap’s chances now. After all, those lines are working again, right? Honesty, I think that the reason I stayed in bar/restaurant’s that long was because I muted that stuff.

RRI: Any cool bar brawl stories?

DP: Brawls happened, but luckily, not with any of my closer friends, so yeah, there were brawls, but why and who, couldn’t tell ya.

Sometimes alcohol brings on the idiots.

RRI: One last question. In the ‘80s and early ‘90s there seemed to be no shortage of places to go around Rockford to see live music. Do you think we will ever see another music scene like we did in the ‘70s and ‘80s?

DP: I truly believe it can, there are folks still trying to see it happen. We try at the local event level to create more draw and atmosphere for the folks of Rockford, but man they’re hard to keep focused. I hope more area bars and restaurants see what live music can bring and realize that it’s good for the community and their profits. This year, we’re trying to make sure that Greenwich Village Art Fair, on September 17 and 18, gets the draw it deserves. For years they’ve had live music, and this year is no exception. The fair is the longest running juried fair in the Midwest (since 1948). So for a paltry $5, you get art, food, beverages and live music all day long! Come on Rockford, get out there.

Wednesday, May 11 Tipsy History: Brewing from the 1800s to Today - Midway Village Museum, 6:30–8:30 p.m.

The museum will present this program in two parts. Part I: The first part of the program is Sara Pfannkuche, a home-brewer and Midway Village historic interpreter, presenting on how and why women in the 19th century commonly brewed beer for the health of their family. In order to stay healthy, most people believed that they could make the water safer by “brewing” it into beer or wine. Open fire brewing (or cooking on the stove) was a typical chore for women during this time. Sara will perform a live demonstration on how open fire brewing occurs, showcasing the ingredients used and the process by actually cooking up the first-stage of beer production which is called wort. Part II: The second half of the program will be a presentation by Prairie Street Brewhouse. Discover the beginnings of one of the first breweries in the nation, with Jonathan Peacock starting the Rockford Brewery in 1849, grinding malt in a hand-turned coffee mill, brewing mash in a bathtub, and delivering ale in his wheelbarrow. By 1857, he was successful enough to open the Brewhouse and Bottling Plant, which evenly grew to producing 75,000 barrels a year and completing with brewing capitols such as Milwaukee. Prairie Street Brewhouse will explore this history, show many brewing artifacts from the 1800s and 1900s, and at the conclusion, visitors will sample several of their unique brews.

Beer samples are included free with your ticket price. Participants must be 21 years old and over. Tickets must have been pre-purchased.

Commentary

Dems need simply to ‘get out of the way’

By Rich Miller Capitol Fax

W

ith yet another poll showing plunging downstate support for Gov. Bruce Rauner in a Republican district and the intense Republican freakout over Donald Trump’s impending presidential nomination and its impact on independent suburban women, there appears to be a growing feeling among Democrats, particularly in the Illinois Senate, that they need to get out of the way to let the other party crash and burn.

The almost year-long state government impasse is most definitely having an impact on Gov. Rauner’s poll numbers. Bernie Schoenburg reported in the State Journal-Register last week that a Public Policy Polling poll of appointed Republican state Rep. Sara Wojcicki Jimenez’s Springfield-area district had Rauner upside down, with 37 percent approving of the way the governor is doing his job, while a majority of 54 percent disapproved. Rauner won that district 58-37 in 2014, according to Illinois Election Data’s numbers. So, basically Gov. Rauner’s numbers have flipped almost entirely the other way.

Another PPP poll of GOP state Rep. Terri Bryant’s southern Illinois district near Carbondale was even worse for the governor.

Rauner won Rep. Bryant’s district 60-33, but 57 percent of voters in that district disapprove of Rauner’s job performance, while only 33 percent approve. That’s just about a mirror opposite image of his 2014 result. Both polls were taken April 14-17 and had margins of error of a bit over 4 percent.

A PPP poll taken last August in Bryant’s district had the governor’s job approval rating at 40 percent and his disapproval rating was 51.

So, that’s a net loss of 13 points in eight months.

And, again, this is a Republican district, albeit one that has plenty of government workers.

Rep. Bryant is also experiencing a freefall if the pollster’s numbers are correct. Last August, PPP had her at a 50 percent job approval rating and a 27 percent disapproval rating. Now, she’s at 42 percent approval and 43 percent disapproval.

That’s a huge 24-point swing.

Meanwhile, Gallup’s daily March tracking polls showed 70 percent of women nationally

had an unfavorable view of the presumptive nominee Trump. That number is surely higher in the more Democratic-leaning Illinois, where independent suburban women have been the deciding factor in just about every major statewide race since 1990.

It doesn’t take a genius to figure out why Rauner recently let it be known that he won’t endorse Trump and won’t attend the Republican convention in Cleveland this summer, and why, as I write this, appointed Comptroller Leslie Munger is expected to make the same decisions because she’s up for special election this fall.

And you also don’t have to be Einstein to realize that the one-two combo of Rauner and Trump could spell big trouble for down-ballot Republicans.

On the other hand, Rauner’s team says it has polling which shows, by a 2-1 margin, that voters blame House Speaker Michael Madigan more than the governor for the ongoing im-

passe. To voters, Madigan is “the all-knowing puppet-master,” explained one Rauner official last week. Madigan’s been around so long and is believed to have so much control over Illinois politics and government that he’s seen by voters as “the key to getting something done.”

So, as long as this impasse is going on, Rauner’s legislative allies have a handy pivot they can use, paid for with oil tanker loads of the wealthy Rauner’s cash. Whenever Democratic legislators or candidates demand their Republican opponents answer for the latest Trump outrage or their support for and/ or from the unpopular Rauner, the Republicans can turn it back on the Democrats by demanding they justify their support for and/ or from the obstructive Speaker Madigan (or Democratic Party of Illinois Chairman Madigan, in the case of Senate candidates).

But even if yet another “Fire Madigan” effort by Republicans isn’t as effective as they

believe it will be (the first two tries failed badly), many Democrats will freely admit right now that voters are overwhelmingly blaming incumbents rather than a single political party or person for the impasse— and there are a whole lot more Democratic incumbents than Republicans in the General Assembly.

In a campaign, once your opponent goes down you never take your boot off that person’s neck. So, with Rauner and Republican legislators going down and Trump about to make a big splash, there’s naturally plenty of temptation among a certain type of Democrat (***cough*** intheHouse! ***cough***) to keep this impasse going.

But all those legislative Democrats may wind up doing if the impasse lasts through November is unhelpfully distract Illinois voters from the weirdness at the national and statewide levels.

State budget crisis a revenue crisis

Contributor

W

hat impact do citizens actually have on the legislative process?

At issue is HJRCA 59, a long-term solution to Illinois’ budget woes that would allow Illinois voters to amend their constitution in November to allow the Fair Tax Act to take effect. Its companion bill, HB 689, would provide the tax structure if the amendment were approved. This structure would reverse “trickle-down” by providing a tax cut for 99.3 percent of Illinois taxpayers while raising $1.9 billion in new revenue by taxing higher earners, according to communityrenewalsociety.org/illinois-needs-fair-tax, 4/29/16.

Additional revenue is desperately needed all around. Last July the headline “Budget battle pinches district,” complained that the Ogle County Soil & Water Conservation District has fallen victim to the prolonged budget wars in Springfield.

I pleaded with my State Representative, Tom Demmer, to help pass HJRCA 59. “From 2008 through 2010 I served as Coordinator for the 13th Judicial Circuit Family Violence Prevention Council,” I explained, “a state-funded organization dedicated to educating the public and advocating

for victims of domestic violence. This includes infant sexual abuse, teen dating violence, domestic violence, elder abuse, including elder financial abuse. victims comprise a huge, under-recognized demographic in Illinois.

“This morning a colleague serving on the 15th Judicial Circuit Council confirmed, as I suspected, that the Family Violence Prevention Council has been completely defunded statewide.

“Why are these most crucial

services,” I asked, “along with schools and universities, the first to get the axe? Why are people not being heard democratically on issues that impact all our lives?

“This perverse process allows the

wealthiest among us to get first dibs on all revenue, while the most vulnerable among us are the first to be cut and denied services.”

With that, I urged him to vote yes on the Fair Tax Act. His reply? “When Session adjourned today, the Constitutional Amendment which sought to put the question of a “fair tax” to voters in November was not voted on and therefore, is “dead” for now.” In other words, the Illinois General Assembly had a chance to take up the issue of the “fair tax” or to kick it down the road. I consider it an act of cowardice that they chose to kick it down the road.

“Today is a sad day for democracy,” said ProgressIllinois.com. “This setback – while temporary – was clearly influenced by a well-financed, out-ofstate smear campaign in which nearly $1 million was funneled into Illinois to mislead and distort the Fair Tax to both lawmakers and the public.”

Our job in November is clear: we must replace legislators who refuse to listen to us with progressive politicians dedicated to ending “this unfair, antiquated tax system,” no matter how long it takes. We may not get our constitutional amendment this time around, but we certainly have the power to change who it is that represents us.

Is daily fantasy sports illegal?

By Prof. John Kindt University of Illinois

V

irtually a nonentity in 2012, by 2015 Daily Fantasy Sports (DFS) was the largest advertiser in the United States.

But by the end of 2015, DFS was the subject of investigations by the U.S. Attorney Offices in New York, Boston, and Tampa. Other criminal justice authorities including two dozen state attorney generals were reviewing various DFS operations.

N.Y. Attorney General Eric Schneiderman declared DFS illegal in October 2015. He was soon joined by the attorney generals of 11 other states including Illinois.

DFS places real-time gambling at every school desk, work desk, family TV, video game, and cell phone. People of all ages will be able to “click their phones, lose their homes.”

Virtually all academic experts concur that DFS is designed to create ubiquitous real-time

gambling without any effective consumer protection.

Specifically designed to seduce a youth market, the DFS marketing philosophy also reportedly synchronizes well with pornography marketing techniques. The title of a February news report by Bloomberg emphasizes this marketing: “Porn Giant Vivid Wants to Rescue Daily Fantasy Sports.”

The U.S. National Gambling Impact Study Commission Report concluded that DFS-type gambling was “impossible to regulate” and had to be prohibited. These conclusions have been confirmed by experts at Congressional hearings and in academic publications, including the multi-volume United States International Gaming Report, produced at the University of Illinois and in concert with other research universities.

In 2015 Congressional hearings began investigating the proliferation and abuses

involving DFS. All states would be well-advised to reject the claims and endeavors of DFS lobbyists to leverage state governments

into confrontations with the U.S. Department of Justice and the majority of state attorneys general.

Letter to the Editor

A throwback in time A union job in Rockford, Illinois seems to be one of the most sought after jobs in the area right now. If someone gets a union job, it is like hitting the jackpot. Unfortunately, I feel unions are seen as a savior in the Rockford area (and other heavy union areas around the U.S.), but too many people forget the damage they have done.

I was recently thinking about National Lock, a company who was in Rockford for many decades. If you ask a union worker or rep today, they will tell you how bad National Lock was to

not unionize and leave town, evidently leaving a huge empty building in Rockford. People seem to forget the negative pressure unions put on National Lock without National Lock even WANTING to unionize (executives or employees). Unions will show all the “good” they have done around the area, but lack to show all the harm they have done, the businesses they have moved away, and jobs they destroyed.

Your Horoscope

By Denise Guzzardo Week of May 11-17, 2016

This Week: The lucky planet Jupiter goes direct on May 9 which will provide positive influences for those on the cutting edge of new adventures.

Mercury still remains in retrograde until May 22, now that we have stabilized ourselves a bit it’s a little easier to manage. Relax, stay calm and pay attention while traveling. Enjoy!

Aries (March 21 to April 19) — An opportunity may arrive to expand your family, two-legged or four-legged, during this lunar cycle. Even though you may feel apprehensive about it, this little being really tugs at your heart strings. The soul work that you’re supposed to do with this energy is extremely unique. Try not to let legal matters disrupt your inner peace. All’s well that ends well, Aries.

Taurus (April 20 to May 20)­— There is plenty of time to get out and enjoy yourself this weekend. Get your mundane tasks out of the way early on this week, then there will be no excuse not to socialize come week’s end.

Long-distance communication reveals some interesting information now. An elderly relative isn’t being conned like you might think by an annoying gold digger. They are wiser than they are letting on, Taurus.

Gemini (May 21 to June 20) — Miscommunication could create conflict midweek with your romantic sector. By week’s end all will be resolved peacefully. Opportunities with home and property are on the forefront.

You may stumble across the bargain of a lifetime, Gemini.

Cancer (June 21 to July 22) — Financial aspects are looking up at this time. Legal entanglements are coming to a close and opportunities to improve the quality of your life are arriving at this time. A light-haired female has some positive connections.

Follow up on leads that are presented to you now. These aspects will begin to take shape and form from May-June. Romance is on hold this week, Cancer.

Leo (July 23 to Aug. 22) — Gentle encouragement with friends and loved ones is strongly advised at this time. Until you have walked a mile in their moccasins you can never comprehend what really goes on within the hearts and minds of others. You may even learn something from someone of an unlike mind as yours at this time. Absorb it like a sponge, Leo. Virgo (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) — An interesting event will create quite a stir and you want to be neck-deep in this adventure.

Connections you are about to make will once again put you on the map and at the top of your chosen profession now. Meet-

ings and promotional events put you at the right place at the right time. Take time out this weekend to entertain friends and family. You’re going to be way too busy to catch up later in the month, Virgo.

Libra (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) — A love from your past will pop up this week creating some confusion for you. You may not know what to do with this aspect or exactly why this has a re-occurring theme now. When all is said and done you will have the knowledge you need to move forward into the present. You may need to clean your glasses a bit to see things clearly, Libra.

Scorpio (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) — A final ending to a long-standing problem will arrive shortly. That way you can move on to bigger and better things now. A loved one may need a little help financially or emotionally at this time. This will help them grow and develop a better place for themselves in the long run. Investing time, energy or finances into this individual will pay off large in the long run. Expect the unexpected this weekend, Scorpio.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) — Romantic opportunities may arrive from afar creating an urge to shift your current geographic location. Slow it down a bit, everything will fall into place in a timely fashion.

You may feel a little bit squeezed financially early on this week, but by week’s end your finances are strong and steady, Sag.

Capricorn (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) — Try not to overanalyze an emotional encounter that occurred in the past week or so.

Let it go and you will see improvements with this individual shortly. If you take a crowbar to try to get to the bottom of this it may end up backfiring in your face.

Your heart and intentions are pure at this time. Go easy into this and all will turn out well, Capricorn.

Aquarius (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) — Unexpected news from a long-distance source will leave you feeling a bit on edge early on this week.

Leave this sit until you have all of the information available to you, then you will know exactly how to handle this delicate aspect. Not everything is on the table quite yet, midweek will provide you with a conclusion to this long-standing problem. Humor is the best medicine, Aquarius.

Pisces (Feb. 19 to March 20) — A friend or family member may be in some emotional trouble that you have not been able to see until now. Ask if there is anything you can do to help them out. Cleaning, painting or even just taking the garbage out may be all they need to feel as though they are not alone. You may also need to delicately inquire about their health and welfare. Investing some time and energy into this individual will help you learn more about yourself in the end, Pisces.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Voices from the Grave

The legacy of Leo Carson

By Kathi Kresol Contributor

T

here are no records left to tell how the young couple met. But one thing was abundantly clear, Leo Carlson loved Celia. They were young when they married in 1908.

Later, Leo’s friends would say that he would speak often of his young wife’s beauty. That was in the beginning, of course, before trouble came to the young couple.

Leo made his living as a carpenter and it was this, as well as the close proximity to Celia’s family in Janesville, that brought the couple to Rockford.

They were thrilled to find a nice apartment at 414 Market Street. The apartment was large and the young couple decided to rent out the extra rooms.

Celia made friends quickly and asked Leo if they could rent the extra rooms to some of her new companions. The young ladies were all single and the extra income would save the couple money. Leo agreed and four girls moved in.

Leo had a very good job as a carpenter but the hours were long and Celia found herself alone in the evenings. The other girls would invite Celia to join them when they made plans. At first Celia re-

Local History

Rockford’s founding years

E

very-other week, The Rock River Times will bring you a glimpse back into the earliest days of Rockford, from its founding in 1834 to the Civil War. Taken from a series of advertisements from the old Rockford National Bank, these short tales and original illustrations paint the narrative of Germanicus Kent and the people who followed in laying the foundations of our city.

“The basis for all of these advertisement are authentic historical facts, gleaned from long careful study and research of Government, State, and local records,” says the introduction to this collection of artifcats.

“The illustrations by the author are in a major share of instances pen drawings from old print; if no pictures were available they have been created from data supplied by research.”

If you’re a local historian and would like to add to any part of the story, feel free to email us your insights and input: contact@ rockrivertimes.com.

This week, we look back at Germanicus’s sawmill on Kent’s Creek, Rockford’s very first industry.

fused; eventually the young girls’ pleas convinced Celia to join them.

The neighbors in the area began to gossip about the girls’ comings and goings and the word eventually got back to Leo. At first, he ignored the talk as just gossip but one night the girls brought the party back to the apartment and the police were called. The landlady confronted Leo and Celia and demanded that the roommates leave. Leo agreed and carried it one step further by stating that he did not want Celia to see the girls anymore. This caused heated arguments between the couple.

Leo’s friends would say that the turmoil at home changed Leo. He became angry and his drinking increased which led to more fighting between the couple. This cycle continued until Celia couldn’t tolerate it any longer. She decided to leave Leo and move to Janesville with her mother.

Celia didn’t leave empty-handed, though.

She took all the furniture and withdrew the money from the bank account. Leo became a broken man. His friends became concerned and claimed Leo became obsessed about the wrongs committed by Celia.

In late August of 1911, Celia filed divorce

papers, claiming their differences were caused by Leo’s drinking, cruelty and jealousy.

On September 24, 1911, a month after Celia left him, Leo went to his favorite local pub and his friends were relieved to see their friend back to normal. He spent the evening talking of his plans for the future.

The next day dawned with the promise of a beautiful fall day. Emily Sitzkow was Celia’s mother and she rose early that day. She was startled by a knock on the door. Emily probably wondered who would be knocking on the door at such an early hour. Her surprise grew when she opened the door to find her daughter’s estranged husband standing before her. Emily would state later that she hesitated for just a second before she opened the door. She had no idea that this single act would haunt her for the rest of her life.

Leo entered the house and Emily showed him to Celia’s room. He woke Celia gently and asked if they might talk. She rose and began to dress. She stood in front of the mirror to fix her hair and Leo moved behind her. Celia had no time to register the pistol that Leo put to her head in one swift movement.

The sound was loud as Leo pulled the trigger.

He lowered Celia’s body softly to the ground.

Emily, hearing the loud noise, was standing in the hall when Leo rushed at her. Leo pointed the gun and said, “I’ve got a good notion to put a bullet into you, too!”

Emily stopped in her tracks and Leo raced into an adjoining bedroom. He raised the gun to his head and fired.

The police soon arrived and found Leo dead and Celia just barely alive. She clung to life for four hours before losing the battle.

This already strange case took another turn when a letter that was found on Leo was printed in the local papers. The letter explained the reasons for Leo’s desperate actions and put the blame for this horrible crime on Celia.

Celia was buried in Oak Hill Cemetery in Janesville, Wisconsin while Leo was buried at Cedar Bluff Cemetery in Rockford. Neither grave is marked.

Local historian and author, Kathi Kresol, will present other stories of Rockford’s true crimes and ghostly legends on Friday at the Hope and Anchor Pub at 6:30 p.m. Tickets are $15 and registrations can be made at hauntedrockford.com.

CONCORDIA UNIVERSITY BELOIT CENTER

By Grant McCarty Local Foods and Small Farms Educator, University of Illinois Extension

As tomatoes are planted, peppers are right behind them as the next crop to plant in the ground.

Peppers are in the solanaceous family like tomato, eggplant, and potatoes. You’ll find a wide range of different shapes, colors, textures, and heat in different varieties of peppers.

When considering varieties keep in mind what you would like to use them for. Some may be better for fresh eating, adding to salsa, drying to preserve, or making into your own chili powders. There can also be a wide range of heat to these peppers.

The heat level of peppers is decided by the Scoville Scale. It is a measurement of heat units based on the concentration of capsaicin in the pepper through lab testing. Developed by Wilbur Scoville, the range starts at a zero with Bell pepper and further reaches heat levels over a million.

Carolina Reaper and Bhut Jolokia (the ghost pepper) are at the far end of this scale. In between the bell pepper and the hottest peppers are jalapenos, habanero, and many others.

Every couple of years there is a new pepper that

Prepping for pepper planting now ranks as the world’s hottest. Seeds and sometimes plants for these very hot peppers can be found at garden centers or ordered online. Keep in mind that when you grow these extremely hot peppers you need to be mindful of harvesting them with gloves and other protection as the oils of the peppers can easily linger on your hands even after washing extensively.

Peppers should be planted at a spacing of 18-24 inches. Most pepper plants will not need any type of support structure although later in the season you may need to add a trellis if the plant gets too leggy. Sometimes a tomato cage can work quite well for this.

Depending on the pepper you are growing, it may have a long season. This can certainly be the case with many red peppers that need to go through the green growth phase to turn red. It should fully ripen on the plant before picking.

Peppers can do exceptionally well in pots and other containers. A five-gallon bucket with holes for drainage can provide a suitable size for growing one pepper plant.

Ma Schier & Aunt Millie’s Recipe of the Week

By Frank Schier Editor & Publisher

Tis the season for fishing. The Dearly Departed Sisters liked to fish at the family cottage on Lake Koshkonong in the ‘50s and ‘60s. They and theirs mainly caught Northern Pike, Walleye and catfish. Occasionally, a

Lake Trout would be landed, but very rarely.

Locally, I have found the best trout dishes at the Irish Rose and Alchemy. The Dearly Departed Sisters were also shrimp freaks, so I was not surprised to find this combination in their recipe box. I think capers would be a good addition to this recipe.

The accident occurred in the Main & Auburn street roundabout at 3:30 p.m., Tuesday, May 10.

The vehicle is a late model Chevy 4x4 white pickup truck, with some rust, with partial plate number KJ 1451. It was followed by witnesses to the accident to the parking lot of the North Main BARn, 1428 N. Main St. (formerly The Barn), where the driver exited the vehicle and went inside, first into the video slots gaming room and then to the end seat of the bar by the windows. He did not order a drink, but seemed to have difficulty walking. He may have been at other establishments north of Auburn Street earlier. Just before the accident, he was seen following a driver too close. That driver stopped his car at Main and Fulton streets to get out of his car, and tell the driver of the white pickup, to “Get off my a**!”

The driver of the late model, Chevy 4x4 white pick up truck, with some rust, is in his 50s or 60, about 5’7”, 200+ pounds, mostly bald, with a narrow white beard and full white goatee. He was wearing a blue jacket, worn jeans and dark shoes with white laces and a thick white sole or edging.

Illinois River water quality improvement linked to more efficient corn production

By Debra Levey Larson U of I News Bureau

URBANA – Good news – the quality of water in the Illinois River has improved in one important aspect. A new study from the University of Illinois reports that nitrate load in the Illinois River from 2010 to 2014 was 10 percent less than the average load in the 1980s and early 1990s.

Reducing the nitrate and phosphorus loads in the Mississippi River by 45 percent is the US EPA’s ultimate recommendation. This will serve to reduce the size of the seasonal hypoxic area, or “dead zone,” created in the Gulf of Mexico when nitrate in tributaries like the Illinois River flows into the Mississippi River and down to the Gulf.

Illinois has developed strategies to achieve these reductions described in the Illinois Nutrient Loss Reduction Strategy. Other Midwestern states have developed similar strategies.

“The recent reduction in nitrate load in the Illinois River is a promising sign,” says Greg McIsaac, U of I researcher and lead author of the study. The study was completed last October, before data for 2015 were available.

“Now that these data are available, we know that the Illinois River nitrate load from 2011 to 2015 was 15 percent lower than the load measured in the baseline period from 1980 to 1996. This 15 percent% reduction is a milestone that the state hoped to achieve for all its rivers by 2025,” he said.

In addition to examining trends in nitrate loads and concentrations in the Illinois River from 1976 to 2014, the authors tried to identify reasons for changes in loads and concentrations.

One possible source of change considered was nitrate in treated wastewater discharged into the Illinois River by the Water Reclamation District of Greater Chicago from 1983 to 2014. The authors also used annual records of fertilizer sales, livestock numbers, and crop yields to calculate residual agricultural nitrogen for each year— that is, the nitrogen made available to crops in fertilizer, manure, and biological fixation, but not absorbed by the crop or harvested in the grain.

“A significant portion of this residual nitrogen is left in the soil as nitrate and can be washed into the river, primarily through groundwater and subsurface drainage tiles in agricultural fields,” McIsaac says.

Mark David, U of I biogeochemist and co-author of the study, says the residual agricultural nitrogen was highest in the late 1980s, following a major drought and low corn yields in 1988.

“Beginning around 1990, the residual agricultural nitrogen began to decline, most likely due to improved fertilizer management and higher

corn yields. Since 1980, the amount of nitrogen fertilizer sold in the watershed remained relatively constant, but corn yields increased by about 50 percent,” David says. “This means that more of the nitrogen fertilizer applied was taken up by the corn and harvested in the grain and less was left in the soil or washed down the river.”

From their analysis of the data, the team found that annual nitrate loads were significantly correlated with river flow, nitrate discharged in Chicago wastewater and residual agricultural nitrogen averaged over a six year window. Nitrate concentrations – the average weight of nitrate in a typical gallon of river water – were also correlated with residual agricultural nitrogen and nitrate discharge from Chicago, but not river flow.

Another one of the study’s co-authors, U of I biostatistician George Gertner, is cautious about the findings. “Although the correlations we found are statistically significant, they are not definitive proof that the reductions in residual agricultural nitrogen or nitrate discharge from Chicago caused changes in nitrate concentrations or loads in the river. The results are, however, strongly suggestive of the connections.”

Nitrate loads are strongly influenced by precipitation and river flow which can be highly erratic. It is promising that nitrate loads have declined in recent years despite higher than average river flows. The five-year average river flow from 2007 to 2011 was the highest recorded since the start of measurement in 1939.”

Nitrate concentrations, on the other hand, have declined more consistently since about 1990, which was a period of high concentrations.

The reason for the divergence between nitrate concentration and load, explains McIsaac, is that the load is the product of both concentration and river flow and the flow is strongly influenced by precipitation, while concentrations are not. Higher flows allow the river to carry more pounds of nitrate, but it doesn’t necessarily change the concentrations.

Whether nitrate concentrations and loads continue to decline in the future depends on several factors, according to the researchers.

“If the annual river flows return to their 19762005 average values, and if nitrogen fertilizer efficiency remains high or continues to improve, there likely will be a decline in nitrate loads in the Illinois River,” David explains.

“On the other hand, if river flows remain high, which may be a consequence of climate change, meeting the nitrate reduction goals will likely require more conservation effort than originally proposed.”

Scholars call for withdraw of White House legal memo Columbia University paper calls for end of discrimination by faith-based charities

By Sarah Smith ProPublica

The Obama administration has roundly criticized states such as North Carolina and Mississippi for passing laws that allow discrimination in the name of religious freedom. But at the same time, the administration has left in place a 2007 memo from the Bush White House that allows religious charities with federal contracts to discriminate in hiring for federally funded programs.

Now, as Obama prepares to leave office, a group of prominent constitutional lawyers is calling on the Obama White House to revoke the legal memo, which they argue has been used by religious groups to refuse to provide services, including emergency contraception for human trafficking victims, that conflict with their beliefs. Their arguments are detailed in a legal analysis published this morning

by Columbia Law School’s Public Rights/Private Conscience Project, which includes contributions of scholars from George Washington, Emory and Brigham Young universities, among others.

The 16-page paper is, in part, an effort to put pressure on Obama to rescind the memo, an action that does not require Congress to act. As a presidential candidate in 2008, Obama criticized the Bush Justice Department for drafting it, but as president failed to follow through.

“For this administration that has been so strong in so many ways on important civil rights questions and in opposition to similar efforts at the state level to sanction discrimination — to allow this memo to remain in place — is really very unfortunate,” said Ian Thompson, a legislative representative in the American Civil Liberties Union’s Washington, D.C. office. The Columbia paper, he said, is groundbreaking in terms of both its signatories and its scope. “They cover the waterfront in terms of pointing out the dangers and the harms of the memo being in place,” he said.

Bush administration lawyers wrote the memo

after the Christian charity World Vision, which serves the poor in nearly 100 countries, objected to a nondiscrimination clause in a $1.5 million Department of Justice grant to fund a mentoring program for at-risk children. World Vision argued that it should be allowed to hire only Christian employees for the program and that not allowing the group to do so would put a “substantial burden” on it.

As justification, the nonprofit cited the 2000 Religious Freedom Restoration Act (RFRA), which bars the government from substantially burdening people’s ability to practice religion unless it has a compelling interest to do so. The Bush White House’s Office of Legal Counsel interpreted the law to mean that World Vision—and by extension, other faith-based organizations—could hire on the basis of faith for federally funded positions.

World Vision argues that withdrawing the memo will only hurt the poor recipients of the charity’s help. “[It] would call into question federal laws and would divert faith-based grantees’ time and funds from serving the needy to litigating to re-clarify the law,” World Vision’s chief legal officer, Steve McFarland, said in a statement.

The Columbia analysis says that since the government is not forcing faith-based organizations to apply for grants, it invalidates the argument that they are being substantially burdened. Instead, the organizations are freely choosing to bid on government contracts with certain conditions specified in advance.

The analysis also highlights examples in which some religious groups have expanded the scope of the 2007 memo, using it as a legal justification to cherry-pick what provisions of a federal grant to fulfill. For example, when the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) won a 2005 grant from the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to provide assistance to human trafficking victims, the bishops did not provide contraception or abortion. The ACLU sued HHS in 2009, and the agency ended its contract with the USCCB in 2011.

“The agency is writing the terms of the grant,” said George Washington University Law professor

Ira Lupu, who signed the Columbia analysis. Grant applications don’t ask faith-based organizations for their potential objections, and government oversight of grant recipients varies from agency to agency.

In 2014, as unaccompanied children fleeing violence in Central America were held at the U.S.-Mexico border, the Office of Refugee Resettlement drafted guidelines for grant-receiving agencies working with the minors. The proposed rules required caregivers to provide emergency contraception or abortion to children who required it. The USCCB, along with four other faith-based organizations, wrote a letter in February 2015 to the Obama administration to ask for a faith-based exemption to the contraceptive/abortion requirement in the grant rules. The USCCB cited the World Vision Memo in the letter. The Office of Refugee Resettlement hasn’t yet issued finalized rules.

Some legal scholars argue that by keeping the memo in place, the Obama White House is giving ammunition to groups who sue the government in religious liberty cases. . In March, the federal government argued against expanding RFRA in the Supreme Court case Zubik v. Burwell, which centers on just how far to accommodate religious nonprofits that object to the mandate to provide contraception to employees.

“If the inability to receive a grant constitutes a substantial burden on religion, then certainly the requirement to do something would seem to constitute a substantial burden,” said Robert Tuttle, a law professor at George Washington University who signed the Columbia analysis.

The Obama administration has taken steps to address religious discrimination by faith-based organizations. On May 4, new guidelines went into effect that require government agencies to provide a channel for people receiving aid through federal grant programs to report wrongdoing by service providers. The guidelines follow a 2010 executive order—updating a Bush executive order—that prohibits discrimination against aid recipients.

“The Administration has not condoned religious discrimination against beneficiaries of federal aid,” Melissa Rogers, special assistant to the

president and executive director of White House Faith-Based and Neighborhood Partnerships, said in an emailed statement, citing the May 4 guidelines and the 2010 executive order. The White House referred direct questions on the World Vision Memo to the Justice Department. The Justice Department and the authors of the memo did not respond to requests for comment.

But, legal experts say, the Obama administration is not doing all it can to protect beneficiaries until the World Vision Memo is rescinded. Katherine Franke, faculty director of the Public Rights/ Private Conscious Program at Columbia, said the guidelines put the onus of spotting and reporting wrongdoing on already vulnerable populations.

“What we’re talking about is on one hand general guidance coming from the government and on the other hand a set of legal arguments,” Tuttle said.

“So these are government-made legal arguments that lawyers for [grant] recipients can use and say, ‘We know those are your general guidelines, but we are different, and you recognized that in the [World Vision] memo.’”

The Columbia analysis follows several recent high-profile attempts to get the administration to reconsider the memo. Members of Congress wrote to Attorney General Loretta Lynch in February asking for a review and reconsideration of the memo. Advocacy groups wrote letters in 2014 and 2015. Maggie Garrett, legislative director for Americans United for Separation of Church and State, said the groups haven’t received a response.

Just as many organizations have written to the administration asking that it keep the memo in place. University of Virginia School of Law professor Douglas Laycock, who filed a brief with the Supreme Court in favor of the government’s position in Zubik, has assured the administration that the memo is legally sound.

At the very least, the authors of the Columbia analysis hope the administration formally clarifies that the memo only applies to religious hiring — and no more.

“Leaving it in place tarnishes the civil rights record of the Obama administration,” Garrett said.

Cubs, Sox continue to dominate early

By Cat Garcia Contributor

T

he good times continued to roll on both sides of Chicago this weekend as the Cubs and the White Sox came off of important series sweeps at home. Both teams are in first place in their respective divisions and are widening the gap on their leads.

The Cubs did what may have felt impossible had it been any other team in baseball. Sending out the back end of their rotation against the superb starting pitching staff of the Washington Nationals, the Cubs swept the second best team in baseball in a four-game series. Sunday’s contest wouldn’t end without a fight, though – something that no one quite expected with Cubs ace Jake Arrieta making the start on Mother’s Day afternoon.

Arrieta would walk four batters and strike out seven while surrendering two earned runs during his five innings of work, something that he has not done since August 15, 2015.

Arrieta would leave the game Sunday with the Cubs trailing by two runs. The Cubs would put up two more against Nationals reliever Oliver Perez to tie the game and send it into a 14-inning bullpen duel. However, Javier Baez sealed in the win and series sweep, hitting a walk-off home run to end the game 4-3.

After a rain out on Monday, the Cubs will look to continue their series against San Diego today with a doubleheader at Wrigley Field. The Cubs will then have a short break on Thursday before hosting their division foes the Pittsburgh Pirates this weekend. Arrieta and Lester will be available to take the mound during the three-game set at Wrigley Field.

On the South Side of town. the wins keep stacking up as well. After losing two of three to the Boston Red Sox, the White Sox came back to complete a series sweep of the division rival Minnesota Twins at home last weekend. Chris Sale and Jose Quintana, a starting rotation tandem that is arguably now one of the best in baseball, took the mound against the Twins. After overcoming a rocky start on Saturday in which he walked one batter that forced a run home, Sale came away with his seventh win, making him the first pitcher this season to go 7-0.

Quintana dominated the Twins lineup on Sunday, allowing just one earned run with

five strikeouts in seven innings of work before leaving the remainder of the game in the hands of the bullpen, who allowed no earned runs and issued four strikeouts to complete the series sweep.

The White Sox missed the rain and headed to the Lone Star State on Monday to begin a threegame series with the Texas Rangers and the first

of a six-game road trip. Still auditioning their pitching depth to fill in the final rotation spot vacated by the release of John Danks, the White Sox recalled Miguel Gonzalez from Triple-A Charlotte to start his second game of the season.

After a troubling final line in Toronto in his season debut, Gonzalez had an impressive second start in Texas, allowing just three hits and one

run to score, a home run off the bat of Rougned Odor. Gonzalez also struck out four and walked three batters on the evening.

After a dramatic back and forth game in Texas, the White Sox would end up winning in the 12th inning on a Todd Frazier grand slam.

Rangers pitcher Cesar Ramos intentionally walked Jose Abreu to load the bases and get to Frazier, who then took him deep on the second pitch of the at-bat.

The White Sox will finish out their series in Texas on Wednesday before a travel day on Thursday. The team will head to New York to take on the Yankees for a three-game set this weekend.

NATIONAL CHAMPION Erin “Lil Bit” Harty (pictured), a representative from the Gymnastic Academy of Rockford (GAR), claimed the Level 10 title on the balance beam at last weekend’s 2016 Women’s U.S. Junior Olympic National Championships in Forth Worth, Texas.

Kaitlyn Higgins, also competing in Level 10, placed seventh in the floor exercise and eighth in the all around competition.

Level 10 is the highest level in the

Junior Olympic program.

GAR’s Level 7gymnastic team were in competition at the Regional Meet held in Olympia, Michigan. Emily “Eddie” Pearson took the Regional Championship on bars and placed sixth overall. Mattie Whalen placed sixth on floor.

“We’re so proud of all our athletes at GAR,” said Sherri Kamin, Director.
