Area leaders call for lawmakers to save services From the Responsible Budget Coalition ROCKFORD – Over 2,114 seniors and 603 persons with disabilities in Northern Illinois would lose access to independent living services. 363 families that have children with autism in the region would lose access to therapy and diagnostic services.

Childcare assistance would be cut for over 100,000 children statewide. Northern Illinois local governments would have $34 million less to provide police, fire, economic development, and other vital services for their residents. State funding for Northern Illinois University would be cut by 31 percent.

Residents gathered Tuesday night at Rock Valley College to discuss ways those and other harmful cuts contained in Governor Rauner’s proposed budget could be avoided. With less than a month before the start of the new fiscal year on July 1, the Governor and the General Assembly have failed to reach an agreement on the budget.

They are grappling with an over $6 billion deficit. The deficit was caused by politicians’ failure to extend corporate and individual income tax rates, which dropped 25 percent this year.

School superintendents, mental health advocates, childcare providers, and nonprofit and community leaders in Northern Illinois, bolstered by new analyses by budget experts, are calling on the Governor and lawmakers to choose revenue to avoid deep spending cuts to services for children, families, and communities.

“He’s stepping over a dollar to pick up a dime,” says Robin C. Garvey of Governor Rauner’s proposed $82 million cut to

‘The steep cuts that the Governor is proposing are extremely impactful to children and families in Northern Illinois communities.’

mental health services. Garvey is past president of the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) Northern Illinois and one of the organizers of Tuesday’s public forum. “The deep mental health cuts in the Governor’s proposal would end up costing taxpayers more in ER visits and public safety costs, while families and communities suffer.”

Garvey notes that when Illinois cut mental health and addiction treatment services by $113 million between FY09-FY11, those cuts cost the state $131.4 million in increased hospitalizations and institutionalizations. “The fiscally responsible option is for the Governor and lawmakers to choose revenue instead of these short-sighted cuts,” she says.

“The steep cuts that the Governor is proposing are extremely impactful to children and families in Northern Illinois communities,” said Keli Freedlund, Superintendent of Kinnikinnick School District, another organizer of the event. Freedlund says that cuts to school funding, after-school programs, children’s health care, and other vital services for families negatively effect classroom learning. “Our children’s education is at stake. Lawmakers must investigate all possibilities available to them to uphold the quality

of education in the State of Illinois.”

State budget expert David Lloyd, the Director of the Fiscal Policy Center at Voices for Illinois Children, identified a range of revenue options that show cuts to vital services are unnecessary.

Some of these revenue options include modernizing Illinois’ sales tax code to include more services, closing corporate loopholes, taxing some retirement income, and restoring all or part of the income tax rate that expired in January.

Lloyd gives some examples of why Illinois’ tax system is unfair and out-of-date.

“It doesn’t make sense for Illinois to be giving corporate tax breaks for jobs created in other states. It doesn’t make sense for Illinois to tax a middle class family who buys a lawnmower but not an upper-income family that hires a lawn service. It doesn’t make sense for Illinois to tax a movie on DVD but not that same movie purchased online. Illinois’ antiquated tax system is costing us billions that could be used for investments families need,” Lloyd says.

Community leaders are requesting residents contact their state lawmakers at 1-844-311-CUTS (2887) and ask them to choose revenue over harmful cuts to families and communities.

House Dems, GOP work through Purvis contract details

By Mark Fitton Illinois News Network

SPRINGFIELD — A second two-hour hearing concerning why the governor’s chief education advisor is being paid by from the Human Services budget passed Tuesday with far fewer fireworks than did the first.

Beth Purvis, a contracted employee who holds the title secretary of education, didn’t make last week’s meeting of a House appropriations committee. But she made this one, and that appeared to carry some weight with the Democrats who control the chamber and the panel.

Committee chairman Rep. Greg Harris, D-Chicago, opened the hearing by thanking Purvis not only for appearing, but for spending an hour with him beforehand.

Purvis, who has a doctorate and 27 years experience in public education, explained her role within the Rauner administration and said she is working across at least a dozen Illinois departments.

The governor, Purvis said, wants Illinoisans to be able to access “high-quality education options beginning at birth and through workforce readiness.”

She described her duties as that of the governor’s lead person in finding a way to make Illinois educational opportunities less fragmented, more accessible and of better quality — regardless of geographic location or differences in family wealth.

Rep. Rita Mayfield, D-Waukegan, welcomed

Purvis’ to state government.

“I don’t care what your salary is; I feel you will deserve it and more,” Mayfield said. “Women in the state of Illinois are paid disproportionate to the men. So I’m happy to see you getting paid here in Illinois.”

But the House committee charged with overseeing funding for the Department of Human Services would certainly ask questions about where and how funds were being spent, she added.

“This is nothing new,” Mayfield said. “We ask questions because we want to make sure we are being fiscally responsible to the number of individuals that we are responsible for: our women, our children, our seniors, our veterans, our most vulnerable. So, it’s not so much how much you’re getting paid, it was just more a question of where it was falling in line.”

Republicans, though, made clear they were not happy about last week’s hearing, which they said made Purvis, who joined Rauner’s team Feb. 17, a scapegoat for partisan politics.

House GOP Leader Jim Durkin, R-Western Springs, read off a list of six names of former Democratic Gov. Pat Quinn’s executive staff who were paid from the Human Services budget during the previous two years.

If his friends from the other side of the aisle were truly interested in investigating the practice of spreading gubernatorial staff costs to other

agencies, they ought to call those people before the committee, too, Durkin said.

With that, Harris reminded the governor’s budget chief, Tim Nuding, the committee was waiting on a full list of all Rauner staff not being paid from the office of the governor’s budget. Nuding said the list should reach Harris by day’s end.

Nuding shielded Purvis from questions about the governor’s proposed state and departmental budgets for the coming fiscal year, which begins in July.

While Purvis is free to advise the governor and speak freely to the governor’s budget office, “in terms of funding decisions, those are soley on my shoulders,” Nuding said.

Despite serious moments and the usual political barbs, the session was far cooler than one last week, in which the governor’s deputy chief of staff, Rich Goldberg, blasted Democrats, accusing them of sexism for targeting Purvis’ position and running a “sham hearing.”

“I’m glad we got through a very good hearing without mentions of kangaroos and shams, which I think is a good thing,” Harris said as Tuesday’s hearing finished.

Illiana Expressway stopped

The Illinois Department of Transportation announced the stoppage of progress on the Illiana Expressway after Illinois Governor Bruce Rauner froze the project in anticipation of the ongoing

budget crisis.

The project was meant to not only provide construction jobs, but also alleviate congestion of freight traffic, according to International Union of Operating Engineers Local 150 spokesperson Ed Maher.

“There’s a lot of room yet because these intermodal facilities are nearing their capacity and there are plans to expand them and to build new ones and without infrastructure to support that growth we won’t see those investments.”

But Allen Grosboll co-Legislative Director of Environmental Law and Policy Center says the entire project was a boondoggle from its inception that has already spent tens of millions of tax dollars and Governor Rauner was right that Illinois doesn’t have the money to continue the project.

“That seriously undermines the case for Illiana. It is one of the conditions we are in court on right now that this was seriously, seriously misrepresented and the state does not have the financial grounding to pay for this project.”

IDOT says the multi-year-plan for Illiana had $110 million programmed for FY2016 with an additional $8 million per year over five years for a total estimated cost of $118 million. The state has already spent over $63 million for preconstruction activity for the Illiana Expressway but Rauner froze the project because of a nearly $4 billion deficit in a Democrat-passed budget.

RockRiverTimes.com Rauner’s ghost-payroll

appointees draw fire

By Shane Nicholson Managing Editor

On the campaign trail Gov. Bruce Rauner attacked Pat Quinn’s use of so-called “ghost-payrolls” to compensate some of his administration’s highest paid consultants.

But it seems the Republican is not above using the same measures to hide the real cost of his top staff, a Chicago Sun-Times report showed Tuesday.

Rauner’s administration has paid Donna Arduin, whom Rauner called “the smartest state government budget person in America,” $30,000-a-month as the state’s financial crisis continues to worsen and the Governor has slashed core social services.

Last week an Illinois House committee tried to get to the bottom of another high-paid Rauner appointee, Education Secretary Beth Purvis. Her $250,000-a-year contract is being paid by the Department of Human Services.

Arduin is similarly being paid outside of the Governor’s budget via the Department of Revenue, and former Hawaii Governor Linda Lingle is to be paid $60,000 from April 15 to June 15 by the Department of Financial and Professional Regulation.

State Sen. Dan Kotowski of Park Ridge told the Sun-Times that Rauner’s claims of reducing personnel costs by $552,000 and maintaining zero contractual services was disingenuous at best.

“I would say that the governor’s budget doesn’t accurately reflect [the] reality of how he’s spending taxpayers’ money,” Kotowski told the paper. “I think the general public took the governor at his word that he was going to change business as usual. That doesn’t reflect what he’s doing.”

Arduin’s contract has been halved going forward but the Governor’s office indicated that she will continue to be paid out of Revenue’s budget instead of moving under the payroll of the administration.

Her contract stipulated that she was responsible for addressing the already past due 2015 budget as well as preparing the 2016 budget, among other legislative duties.

While Rauner criticized former Governor Quinn for using the same payroll practices for consultants his office defended the “off-shoring” practices saying that previous administrations had done the same.

Rauner’s office has laid the blame for the lack of budget progress on House and Senate Democrats, saying that their proposals leave the state’s financials still $3 billion out of line.

But the administration’s own proposal spearheaded by Arduin has a $2.2 billion gap of its own and just as few answers on how to close it.

Kotowski told the Sun-Times that reducing Arduin’s salary was a sign “the governor recognizes that he has to do more with less in his budget, or take those dollars that he’s saving to invest in people, human services and education.”

Energy & Environment

Centralized and decentralized power

By Robert and Sonia Vogl

President and Vice President, Illinois Renewable Energy Association

F

or the last hundred years we have been served by centralized power systems which relied on fossil fuels. Instead of paying the full cost of the energy, pollution and harmful health effects were ignored or absorbed by affected people and ecosystems. When ignored costs are added to government subsidies, total supports for fossil fuels are substantial.

A paper produced by the International Monetary Fund, How Large Are Global Energy Subsidies? estimates the total costs amount to $5.6 trillion. The paper challenges the business as usual approach while identifying the massive costs associated with our energy use.

A reaction to the distorted energy market has led to a push to move toward a cleaner energy system based on efficiency and renewable forms of energy. Getting energy prices right would be a further stimulus for investments in renewable energy, but even without eliminating market distortions the new energy technologies are increasingly cost effective. As a result they are gaining market share.

As they gain acceptance, a battle that was settled a hundred years ago has re-emerged. It revolves around the question of whether the public and the economy are better served by centralized or decentralized energy systems.

John Farrell reported on the Institute for Local Self-Reliance’s vision of a cleaner energy system.

They believe local economies will benefit from making a transition to 100 percent local energy but identify large, powerful, well financed economic interests as resisting such a transition.

Other solar advocates are attempting to reduce the dominance of centralized and corporate controlled electrical service. Many seek the right

to generate their own rooftop solar electricity to gain a measure of energy independence and decrease their contribution to climate change.

They remain grid connected but anticipate a time when electrical storage will create an opportunity for them to disconnect.

An interesting battle is playing out in Nevada between NV Energy and advocates of rooftop solar. Berkshire Hathaway is heavily invested in wind and solar energy but recently purchased NV Energy which is battling rooftop solar providers over net metering. The cumulative capacity of all net metering installations in the state is capped at 3 percent of the total capacity of all the state’s electrical utilities.

In 2014, the number of participants in Nevada’s PV program doubled. As rooftop solar installations increase, NV Energy’s earnings diminish.

The cap is seen as limiting the market for rooftop solar: installers want to raise the cap to 10 percent while the utility wants to keep it at 3 percent.

Some interests see the utility’s action as trying to protect their monopoly by eliminating their competition. The issue is settled for this year, but the state’s public utilities commission remains empowered to set a new rate structure for solar.

According to David Mazor, who writes on Berkshire Hathaway, several casinos have filed letters of intent to leave Nevada Power and seek service from another qualified energy provider.

Leaving could cost the casinos over $27 million.

Now that decentralized energy sources such as wind and solar are cost competitive with centralized sources of electricity what will be the future role of centralized generation? The competition over who gets the economic benefits of using solar energy is intensifying and serves as further proof of its viability as an energy source.

Farming

Controlling the tomato plant pests

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

Now that you have planted your tomatoes and trellised them, it’s quite common to expect insect pests. Tomatoes tend to have a number of insect pests that can cause serious damage to leaf and fruit. Aphids, whiteflies, tomato fruit worm, and tobacco/tomato hornworm are the most frequent pests we see on tomatoes.

Aphids and whiteflies are tiny insects that can be hard to see and are usually on the tomato leaves. They tend to be more a nuisance but since they suck from the vascular tissue of the plant, overtime they may cause serious damage.

You’ll know you have whiteflies after you have brushed up against plants and white flies will fly off. Aphids will be bright yellow/green in color. Generally, it can be hard to control both whiteflies and aphids although there are some chemical solutions available. Insect predators like spiders and certain wasps can also control aphids/whiteflies. For most growers of tomatoes, whiteflies and aphids are merely tolerated.

SOUTH BELOIT ROCKTON ROSCOE ROCKTON TOWNSHIP

The two main culprits of extensive tomato damage are tomato fruit worm and tobacco/ tomato hornworm. Both of these are light green in the larvae forms that are very noticeable in the garden.

Tomato fruitworm will enter into the actual fruit itself causing the fruit to not ripen and be inedible. You’ll know you have tomato fruitworm when you see a ripened tomato earlier than expected and as you pick it, will see a hole in it. Tomato/tobacco hornworm will be on the stems and leaves of the plant.

The actual size of hornworm can be between 2-3 inches long and because of the size, you can pick them off by hand and kill them. Sometimes the tomato fruitworm can be removed by hand if it has not entered the fruit yet. By removing either of these large insects, you will keep destructive pests away from your plants.

There are numerous tomato pest scouting guides available online that show what these look like. By looking at these guides, you’ll be prepared for the insects when they show up.

Researchers look at lowercost sources for pig diets

By Stephanie Henry University of Illinois

URBANA – Threonine is an indispensable amino acid, which is often provided in supplement form in swine diets. With U.S. production of crystalline amino acids increasing, more co-products from amino acid production are becoming available, and these co-products can also be fed to pigs. Researchers at the University of Illinois are investigating a co-product of synthetic threonine as a lower-cost alternative protein source to fish meal.

“To create synthetic threonine, you ferment a carbohydrate substrate using selected strains of bacteria, then extract the crystalline L-threonine from the fermentation product,” said Hans H. Stein, a professor of animal sciences at U of I. “The biomass that’s left over, even though most of the threonine has been extracted, is still rich in amino acids. If those amino acids are well digested by pigs, this could be a good source of protein.”

Stein and his fellow researchers conducted two experiments comparing threonine biomass with fish meal. In the first experiment, they determined the concentration and digestibility of protein and amino acids in both ingredients.

Threonine biomass contained 81.8 percent crude protein on an as-fed basis, compared with 65.6 percent crude protein in fish meal.

The standardized ileal digestibility was greater in threonine biomass than in fish meal for crude protein, as well as for all indispensable amino acids except tryptophan. Overall, the average digestibility of amino acids in threonine biomass was 83.5 percent, compared with 72.3 percent for fish meal.

In the second experiment, Stein’s team determined that threonine biomass contained about 25 percent more digestible and metabolizable energy than fish meal. On a dry matter basis, threonine biomass contained 4,935 kcal/kg of digestible energy and 4,335 kcal/kg of metabolizable energy, versus 3,957 and 3,508 kcal/kg respectively in fish meal.

“The results from these studies indicate that threonine biomass can be used as an alternative to fish meal, and possibly other animal proteins, in diets for weanling pigs,” said Stein.

The study, “Amino acid digestibility and concentration of digestible and metabolizable energy in a threonine biomass product fed to weanling pigs,” was co-authored by Ferdinando Almeida and Rommel Sulabo. The study was funded by Archer Daniel Midland Company, Decatur, Ill., and was published in a recent volume of the Journal of Animal Science. It is available online at https://www. animalsciencepublications.org/publications/ jas/articles/92/10/4540.

Gorman and Co committing to area artists

By Anne E. O’Keefe Rockford Area Arts Council

O

n June 2 the Rockford Area Arts Council coordinated artists and artisans meetings for over 40 artists and craftsmen with representatives of Gorman and Company. “The project involves the adaptive reuse of the historic Amerock building as a four star hotel to include a new downtown conference and event center. Renovations will aim to maintain the industrial fabric of the existing structure while introducing mid-century modern finishes creating an industrial chic feel,” according to Laura Narduzzi, Gorman and Company.

This is another great step forward for this project. The group was made up of a wide range of visual artists, furniture makers, metal craftsmen, fixture creators and custom framers. Since our meeting we have fielded dozens of calls and added over 20 artists to the list of potential vendors for the project. The artists were asked to make their pitch in a brief span of time, bring a flash drive with examples of their work as well as one representative piece of work. The experience will help us prepare for future opportunities for artists.

It was my first time in the building and it was thrilling. Where some may see decay and disrepair, I saw promise, potential and rejuvenation.

The bright future was palpable. The comments as the artists looked at the artist’s renderings were invigorating. They saw the same thing I did, of course they would. The view of the river, the blue sky framed by jagged broken windows, the reminders of the past; electrical boxes, metal fans and pulleys will give way to a magnificent space upon completion.

“I look at an object that once had another purpose and challenge myself to make it into a

custom light or home accent,” explained John Sonnefeldt, Rockford. One could say this is exactly what Gorman and Company is doing with Amerock Building.

Jeremy Klonicki and Carmen Turner of Mainfraim were excited to be there. “Is there an opportunity to use some of the things that are still here?” Klonicki asked. I imagine this space to Klonicki and Turner was a bit like a kid in a candy shop.

Another unique component to this project is a partnership with Rockford Housing Authority that will provide Section 3 residents with creative and artistic skills the opportunity to serve as apprentices to artists and artisans that may need assistance in production. “The Section 3 program requires that recipients of certain HUD financial assistance, however feasible, receive job training, employment and are connected to projects and activities in their neighborhoods,”

said Ron Clewer, RHA, Executive Director.

The rebirth of this building will happen because so many people have believed in its potential; Friends of Ziock, City Council, with their vote to amend the development agreement, the Mayor, and Gorman and Company.

The Rockford Area Arts Council is pleased to be a part of this project. RAAC, the artists and artisans are honored to carry the torch one leg of the relay, which will ultimately ignite the flame.

Coming up: a Super(natural) Sci-Fi Summer

By Paula Hendrickson Television Columnist

Sure. I could get behind a sci-fi story about a small town mysteriously encased in a clear dome. For the sake of entertainment, I’m even willing to accept that a glowing egg somehow controls said dome. And as a Buffy The Vampire Slayer fan I can totally get behind the idea of a teenager returning from the dead.

But last summer I struggled to suspend my disbelief with CBS’s Under the Dome (returning June 25 for a third season) due to some utterly implausible – and inexcusable – details.

Most memorable? In one episode, Julia’s (Rachelle Lefevre) leg is severely injured and in the next one she’s walking around with barely a limp. Worse yet, without that slight hobble, the only way a casual viewer would know about the wound was from a gauze bandage was wrapped around her leg – over her jeans. Really? This is the same woman who was shot in the chest a couple weeks earlier (in Chester’s Mill time, that is) and was running around trying to save the town a few hours later.

Those aren’t the show’s only details that had me talking back to my TV last summer. I’ve blocked the rest out, but it averaged at least one head scratcher per episode.

Yes, folks, details do matter — especially in sci-fi.

Star Trek worked in all of its incarnations because the futuristic science was grounded in actual science, even when they had explain why something implausible today worked in future.

I’m no expert in quantum mechanics, but there’s something called Heisenberg’s Uncertainty Principle (yes folks, Breaking Bad science-teacher-turned-drug-lord Walter White had a reason for calling himself “Heisenberg”), which has something to do with keeping the matter being transported intact. Writers explained the scientific principle away by making the “Heisenberg compensator” a key part of the transporter.

I’m not asking Under the Dome to make scientific sense. I’m just asking them not to ruin the show with sloppy details like bandages worn over clothing. It’s not much to ask, really.

If you’ve also lost interest in Under the Dome, but still want some fun summer supernatural sci-fi entertainment, here are a couple new shows debuting this week you might want to check out: Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrel: based on a best-selling Hugo Award-winning novel by Susanna Clarke, the seven-part series debuts

The lavish drama, set in England against the backdrop of the Napoleonic War, focuses on the increasing rivalry of the titular magicians. The reclusive Norrell (Eddie Masan) — who congers a fleet of ghost ships to frighten off the French navy— is thought to be the last of the “practical” magicians, until the more flamboyant Strange (Bertie Carvel) appears on the scene and challenges Norrell to up his game. When dark magic is unleashed, no one is safe.

Dark Matter: Syfy’s new series from the producers of the classic sci-fi series Stargate debuts Friday at 9:00 p.m. CST on Syfy.

The Stargate pedigree alone should draw a few million viewers. The twist here is the entire crew of a spaceship awakens from stasis with amnesia.

They don’t know their names, their roles, when or where they are or how they got there. Without names, they go by numbers, and in one case “The Android” (Zoie Palmer). The premise raises almost endless questions. What happened to them? Can they trust each other? What do they

do now that they’re awake?

I can’t guarantee that either of these new shows will pay closer attention to detail than Under the Dome, but it will be nice to have a couple more options.

Zero Motorcycles a solid EV rider option

By Allen Penticoff Contributor

I

have a long association with motorcycles.

The ink was barely dry on the driver’s license I got on my sixteenth birthday, when I bought a Honda CL125 and began riding it all over. I soon took to dirt bike riding and raced motocross in the era of the early 1970s Honda CR125 Elsinores. I’ve owned several street and dirt bikes since and still have one of each gathering dust in my garage. But honestly, I’ve not ridden motorcycles much since I put them away and began driving my Miata convertible in 1996 (which I bought instead of a Goldwing) and find dirt bicycles plenty fun.

When I recently travelled to Randy’s Motorcycles near Marengo, Illinois to demo two of their pure electric Zero Motorcycles, I was caught aback by the kind of performance they could put out. The folks at Randy’s Motorcycles was very generous with their time, rolling all the Zero Motorcycle models in stock outside to take photos and offering rides on any I desired. They were charged up and ready to go.

While I had known of Zero Motorcycles for a couple of years, I’m glad I waited to review them. There are four models now and they are much more refined than a few years ago. There are two sport bikes, the S and the SR. The SR has more power and is the top of the line, presently selling as tested for $15,995 less a $1,600 rebate.

The dual purpose road/dirt bike is the DS with a price of $13,995 less $1,500 rebate. While the FX is a street legal dirt bike, with less weight (247-289 pounds) but a smaller battery pack and motor. I rode an SR and the DS. The SR came first. It felt a bit ponderous at low speed, but it’s not designed for going slow.

It has a top speed of 102 mph and does 0 to 60 in a blinding 3.3 seconds. Unaccustomed to the wind blowing on me and with air gushing in past the face shield on the helmet, I thought I was going pretty fast until I looked down at the

LCD speedometer and saw I was only going 53 mph. Well, better open this puppy up – whoa, it accelerates so hard it is startling. Yet when you come to a stop, there is no sound. Along the way there is wind, tire and some motor noise. The DS is the noisier of the two since it has dirt capable tires with more aggressive tread.

The throttle works like normal and has no flat spots. Creep along or do a wheelie, they work pretty much like all motorcycles. The SR seemed to have more powerful front brakes that the DS although they look to be identical. The rear brakes are weak – on purpose I suppose. I never quite got the complete knack of the powerful brakes in my short ride. Anti-lock is available, which can be turned off. The Zeros are not set up to have substantial regenerative braking – which I feel would benefit them well. Once you get the hang of it, you would need the brakes very little. As it is, you will use the brakes on the Zero bikes more than a conventional gas-powered motorcycle that provides some braking action with the throttle at idle and coasting. It is probably what made getting set up for the curves the

most difficult. That and you have to look at the speedometer to get some sense of speed since the noises you are hearing don’t really provide that information. I did not get the SR to maximum speed (wasn’t really trying to), but got pretty close – and I can tell you it’s been a long time since I’ve gone that fast on a motorcycle.

I enjoyed the DS more than the SR. The steering geometry makes slow speed handling light and easy, the softer suspension was more comfortable as was the more upright riding position. It was still fun and plenty fast. I played with the handling more with the DS since it begged to be tossed around. I even found some lumpy gravel lanes and grass to mess around on. Both bikes have a power mode selector of normal, eco and custom. In normal mode, all the juice you want is available and you can go as fast as the machine can go. But in eco mode, the power supply is attenuated some and the top speed is limited to 75 mph. I’m not sure what the use of this mode is, unless you are loaning the bike to someone and you want to limit what they are able to do. In normal use if you want to conserve

your power – just don’t crank on the throttle or ride at 100 mph.

Each of the four models has a different motor with horsepower and torque the same despite different battery pack options. I’ll list horsepower/torque for each: Model S 54/68, Model SR 67/106, Model DS 54/68 and the Model FX2.8 has 27/70 while the FX5.7 44/70. With electric vehicles, it is torque that matters, and it is all delivered instantly, giving great acceleration. Each had a belt drive to the rear wheel.

The S, SR and DS have three available battery packs that are also tagged onto the model designation. 9.4 kilowatt-hour, 12.5 kwh and 15.3 kwh. The FX has a 2.8 kwh or 5.7 kwh battery pack. The S and SR have ranges of 76 miles/102 miles/125 miles relative to battery size. The DS is 102 miles/125 miles and the FX 21 miles/42 miles. More so than in an automobile, buying the right size battery for your needs is important, not only is a larger battery pack more expensive, but it is more weight, adding 30-40 pounds for each bump up in kwh. Although expected battery pack life is greatly increased with the larger batteries.

The 9.4 kwh batteries should go 254,000 miles while the 12.5 kwh packs should go 415,000 miles. But realistically – virtually nobody rides a motorcycle 254,000 miles, much less 415,000.

That says you won’t wear out the battery while you own it. Most riders could get by with the smaller battery packs since most rides are not very long. Charging is with 120-volt cord with a small plug like that of a desktop PC. 220-volt charging is available for about $500 more. I did notice a cute thing – the cord can be stored in the rear wheel swing arm.

Since the motorcycles can all go farther on a given charge compared to an EV auto, they would be prime candidates for solar charging.

Ride 10 miles to work. Charge all day. Leave for home and a quick ride through the countryside with a full battery. Nice and clean. And quiet.

City needs to address real housing issues

By Paul Arena Rockford Apartment Association

R

ockford has a crime problem. Two years ago the Rockford city council passed an ordinance that was intended to help address that problem. It is called the Residential Quality Support Ordinance and it focused on rental property.

A critical aspect of the ordinance was the component that held the perpetrator responsible. The part of the ordinance that directly addresses crime, however, has never been used. The reason, the city claims, is that the city can’t find a property where on three occasions in four months behavior on the property disturbed the neighborhood. The city can’t find the crime because they are not looking. It occurs on a daily basis.

What distinguishes this ordinance is that it used a different method to control crime than the failed measures that had been used in the past. It requires individuals who engaged in minor criminal behavior that disturbs neighborhoods to be held accountable. If the problems persist a group of community members called a Housing Board would offer suggestions to control the behavior.

Crime problems are complex and so the Housing Board’s advice could be directed at all parties, including asking for the government’s cooperation as part of the solution. For example, did you know the city or States Attorney can currently handle an eviction case when serious crime occurs? We currently have available a special eviction procedure to respond to serious crime. It is seldom used because the government controls the evidence in criminal cases and does not make that evidence available to property owners.

We have those tools available today but choose not to use them.

Historically, Rockford has used code enforcement to go after a property owner when tenants engage in criminal activity. That policy punishes a person who made an investment in the community and gives the offender a pass. It has been the policy during the 25 years I have been an investor in Rockford. It displaces the crime from neighborhood to neighborhood and discourages investment in high crime areas.

On Monday night a city council committee decided that the ordinance was not usable because they can’t

‘Last week I attended a community meeting regarding crime in Rockford.

I estimate at least a third of the people in attendance were elected officials. They praised each other and committed to work together. After an hour of listening to campaign speeches with no substantive ideas being offered, I left.’

find crime. The focus needs to be expanded to included code enforcement of items like weeds and mice. Housing providers were not part of the conversation that justified this expansion so I am not sure how controlling mice and weeds prevent crime.

Keep in mind that we already have a system for code enforcement, but now we will ask the housing board to advise people to cut their grass or place mouse traps.

The committee decided that hotels, motels, homeless shelters, community-based housing and group homes do not need to be regulated by the ordinance. Apparently controlling mice, weeds and possibly crime are not important at those properties.

The committee also determined that small multi-family properties that are not being rented but are lived in by members of the owner’s family or friends do need to be included. Apparently controlling mice, weeds and possibly crime are important at those properties.

Last week I attended a community meeting regarding crime in Rockford. I estimate at least a third of the people in attendance were elected officials. They praised each other and committed to work together.

After an hour of listening to campaign speeches with no substantive ideas being offered, I left. I have been told by the people who stuck it out that no substantive ideas to control crime were ever presented.

The Residential Quality Support Ordinance is a new, substantive idea to control crime. It was developed over 4 years of conversations. The people who participated are community leaders including elected officials, city staff, and representatives of public housing, private housing providers, Realtors, and neighborhood associations. The original ordinance was carefully crafted. Each element was discussed and put in place for a reason. The title is the goal: Residential Quality Support.

The version voted on by the committee on Monday was butchered in a back room and then delivered to the council. The final version wasn’t made public until after the committee discussed it. The result is the same failed policy we have today. This ordinance does not need to be amended. It needs to be used as the committee that developed it and the council that passed it intended it to be.

Apple conference shows why ‘borrowing’ is a good idea

Unionizing younger workers: a minute with U of I labor expert Robert Bruno

By David Glance TheConversation.com

A

pple’s annual developer conference kicked off in its usual way this week with a keynote that detailed new products and updates to Apple’s software and development environments. Like Google’s own developer event that ran a few weeks earlier, the revelations were more about improvement and refinement than groundbreaking novelty.

The new developments announced at these conferences have also become a point of equalisation between rival different platforms with every company “borrowing” ideas and re-implementing them in their own environments. This is actually good to see because it is the basis of a shared evolution of the best ideas that ultimately benefit all consumers. It is the antithesis of the historic courtroom battles over patents and the implementation by one company, of design elements from another’s product.

Mac OS 10.11 also known as El Capitan, gets full screen and side-by-side features similar to those in Microsoft’s Windows 10. It also features performance improvements in its graphics subsystem and some updated user interface changes. iOS 9 features an enhanced Siri which becomes “Proactive”. This will be very familiar to people who have used Google Now, although it will be interesting to see whether, unlike Google Now, it actually manages to be useful.

There is a key difference however between Proactive and Google Now that reflects Apple’s increasing focus on encryption and privacy.

This initiative has been led by Apple CEO Tim Cook who was recently honored for corporate leadership in the area of privacy and security.

Proactive gathers information from email and other sources but this is done entirely on the phone. Google uploads and stores information that it harvests on its servers, making it much easier for government agencies and other entities to get access to. Keeping the processing of this type of information on the phone leaves the user in control of how that information gets access. Apple has stated that any access to servers is done in an anonymous way, without identifying the user.

Another feature that will be welcomed by Apple users is the addition of public transportation information to Apple maps. This may be the final piece that brings Apple’s maps on an even footing with Google, who is the acknowl-

edged leader in this space.

Apple iPads will get the ability, available on Android tablets for some time, to perform application multitasking and have two apps open side-by-side. Apple enhances this with a feature called Slide Over that allows you to interact briefly with a different application whilst keeping the main application on the screen.

Apple’s watch also gets an update with Watch OS 2.0. In the current version, applications actually run on the iPhone and the watch is just used as an additional display. This means that it has little functionality without a phone being attached. Watch OS 2.0 allows developers to run applications directly on the watch, interfacing with sensors, networks and processors. This “should” allow for much more useful applications appearing for the watch, making it a more appealing device to own.

In answer to the growing popularity of music streaming services from Spotify, Google, Amazon and others, Apple finally launched its streaming music service Apple Music which integrates Beats Music that it bought last year for $3 billion. The service will be available for $10 per month in the US and will feature a live 24/7 internet radio music service and a social media feature for connecting performers with fans.

WWDC is actually supposed to be a conference for developers and one of the biggest announcements in this area was that version 2.0 of Apple’s programming language Swift, will become open source. Since its launch at WWDC last year, its growth in popularity has been astonishing by any standard. This is especially true when you consider that developers who build software for mobile platforms typically have to use several technologies to allow the software to run on Apple and Android devices. They may also have to develop in a third language for software that runs on servers providing functionality to web users.

The open sourcing of Swift potentially allows for it to be a language that could be used to develop Android applications in, and possibly even web-based server software.

By the end of the week-long conference, there ends up being so much to assimilate, that the full impact of all of the changes only really becomes clear as the year progresses, unfortunately just in time for WWDC 2016.

obert Bruno is a professor of labor and employment relations at the Urbana campus of the University of Illinois and the director of the Labor Education Program in Chicago. Bruno, who recently testified on labor issues before the education and workforce committee of the U.S. House of Representatives, spoke with News Bureau business and law editor Phil Ciciora about the changing demographics of the labor movement.

The editorial staff of Gawker Media – a media company that publishes the popular websites Deadspin, Gizmodo, Jezebel and Lifehacker – voted overwhelmingly in favor of unionizing with the Writer’s Guild of America East. Is that a positive sign for the future of organized labor?

I think so. You could argue that the total number of workers who voted to organize is relatively small; Gawker Media only employs 118 workers eligible to vote on unionizing. For organized labor to really move the needle, it would need to organize a million or more workers at the national level. But it’s certainly a good story, one that plays well in the news media – particularly because it’s about the news media itself, as well as the changing media landscape.

To some degree, it’s also about how the mainstream media covers labor and the labor movement. For example, in 2014, unions organized nearly 10,000 new workers in 160 National Labor Relations Board elections. The win rate was 65 percent. But no one reading any newspaper had any idea that happened. So Gawker is news, in part because it’s about news production. It’s also an important organizing case because young people get their news from news sites like Gawker, and young journalists also aspire to work at new-media organizations like Gawker. So it’s certainly an attractive company in the current media landscape, as well as an example of where unionization can grow.

Beyond the media value of the story, I also think it reflects a shift in demographics.

The writers who voted to organize are highly educated young professionals. It’s old economy-new economy. Labor now encompasses a small corner of the new economy. So it really points to a new direction for the labor movement, as well as the movement itself adapting to new workplaces and the new way in which we work.

There’s no doubt that it’s an encouraging step for the labor movement writ large. Historically, when labor begins to organize workers in new industries, it suggests an area of growth. And if it can work in online media, maybe it can work for

other forms of digital employment like information technology or computer programming.

The story is also remarkable for its conspicuous lack of conflict between workers and management. How do you explain the lack of labor strife?

It appears to have been a campaign in which the employer saw the benefits of having a unionized workforce. It helps when management views unionization as beneficial to work or as a partnership that strengthens a company’s position in the industry. And that’s too often overlooked: Not all organizing campaigns are contentious or unfold in a deeply hostile situation where workers and management are at loggerheads. But here, you actually have an employer recognizing that a collective bargaining agreement is consistent with wanting to put out a high-demand, quality product.

Does this suggest that younger workers view labor unions more positively than older workers?

Polling indicates that younger workers support unionization at higher rates than older workers, and that they view unions in a more positive light than older generations. And I think it’s because there is a lot more interest in activism and social justice in the younger generation. The AFL-CIO has been engaged in a multiyear initiative to address the interests of workers under age 30, and they found that there’s tremendous interest in social issues among younger workers.

But younger workers are still somewhat unsure that the institution of organized labor itself is open and welcoming to them. Labor also faces the challenge of how to develop young leaders, how to get them into the decision-making process, and how activism, social justice and labor unions can work together for mutual benefit.

It’s all part of an ongoing conversation that labor is having right now with younger workers.

But what they’re finding is that when you explain the values of the labor movement to younger people, they match up really well with the kinds of social issues young people are focused on, such as reducing income inequality, creating new opportunities for people to move into the middle class, poverty and other public policy issues. So there is a zone of agreement where labor finds itself nicely aligned with the younger generation of workers. Now the question is, can the institution capitalize on those shared values and create even more opportunities for younger people. That remains to be seen.

Literature

White, white and read all over Lack of diversity in children’s books continues over 50 years from initial studies From Northern Illinois University U.S. children’s picture books continue to show predominantly white characters, an NIU study shows.

The imbalance – still an issue 50 years after Nancy Larrick’s landmark “The All-White World of Children’s Books” was published Sept. 11, 1965, in the Saturday Review – spurs young readers of color to feel that they do not matter or even that “to be white is to be better.”

So says Melanie Koss, an associate professor in the Northern Illinois University Department of Literacy and Elementary Education, who urges publishers of such books to improve the diversity depicted on their pages.

Meanwhile, she says, classroom teachers should actively seek out titles that get it right: Children are more likely to read and value the importance of reading when they can see and connect to characters who are like them.

“People want to read about themselves. But if you never see yourself in a book, what does that tell you about how you are valued? You’re not,” Koss says. “We still have a long way to go. Seeing diverse populations in children’s literature needs to become the norm, not the exception.”

Koss reviewed 455 children’s pictures books published in 2012 to measure their representation of diversity.

Her findings, reported in the latest Journal of Children’s Literature, show that the majority of that year’s picture books for children featured white as both the primary culture (45 percent) and the secondary culture (21 percent).

‘People want to read about themselves. But if you never see yourself in a book, what does that tell you about how you are valued?’

Black came in a distant second, presented as the primary culture in only 9 percent of books and as the secondary culture in 17 percent.

Those percentages tumbled to 5 and 12, respectively, for other cultures including Asian, Latino, Native American and Middle Eastern.

Seventy-five percent of human main characters were white; blacks were protagonists in 15 percent of the books while other cultures combined for less than 6 percent of lead characters.

Thirty-two percent of primary cultures and 27 percent of secondary cultures depicted were “culturally neutral,” portraying multicultural faces or characters from minority groups without offering insights about those cultures or their traditions. Many of those characters are kept in the background or only to support the white characters.

While the numbers came as no surprise to Koss, her research confirms that “children’s literature is not authentically portraying our multiethnic world” and that “white privilege is apparent in the creation of publication of contemporary picture books.”

The research also arrives at a momentous time in children’s literature.

Just over a year ago, the “BookCon” event of Book Expo America promised a “Blockbuster Reads: Meet the Kids Authors That Dazzle” panel. Its members? Four white men. The mere announcement of the panel’s composition triggered an outcry that resulted in a social media hashtag: #WeNeedDiverseBooks.

For people involved in that movement, Koss’ detailed analysis of the 2012 releases provides “a snapshot of now – where society is at” and hard evidence that their cause is a good one.

“It’s not like people haven’t been saying this is important for

a long time. It just happens to be the right point in time, and it’s being made an issue in a larger circle,” she says. “Change is going to come – gradually. Shifts in publishing don’t happen right away.”

Slowing progress, and complicating matters, is the marketplace.

Because publishers don’t expect big profits from diverse books, few are made available. And because few are for sale, few are sold, creating an endless supply-and-demand conundrum. “If the books aren’t out there, no one can buy them,” Koss says.

Ninety percent of the 2012 authors and 83 percent of the illustrators were white; blacks accounted for only 5 percent and 6 percent respectively. As a result, “counter-stories” – telling stories that challenge myths or illuminate rarely told stories of non-white populations – are “largely absent, excluding the voices and viewpoints of diverse people.”

Publishing house executives are beginning to look more closely at the diversity within their administrative and production ranks, she says.

Meanwhile, the themes of many culturally diverse children’s books fall into expected categories: African-American plots about the civil rights movement, for example, or Hispanic stories about migrant farm workers.

“All books should be multicultural and diverse. We need to have books that are good books that just happen to have diverse characters,” Koss says, adding that authors should “write the best books they can for the reasons they need to write them.”

Some works are making a dent, Koss says, thereby working to enhance consciousness and comprehension of the nation’s pluralistic fabric.

Technology offers a bird’s-eye view on how foreclosure affects the landscape

By Debra Levey Larson University of Illinois

URBANA – Contrary to popular belief, foreclosed properties do not always lead to unkempt lawns.

University of Illinois researchers used remote sensing technology to observe rapid change in U.S. urban settings, specifically homes in Maricopa County, Arizona, that foreclosed over about a 10-year period.

“We learned that when a property is foreclosed, it’s more nuanced than nature just coming in and taking over,” said U of I professional geographer Bethany Cutts. “Foreclosure doesn’t always mean management stops.”

Cutts said the team of researchers chose to test the impact of foreclosure on yard vegetation in Phoenix for several reasons. One reason is that Phoenix is a large, rapidly expanding community that has been heavily hit by foreclosure. In addition, because of the dry, hot climate, watering and other lawn management practices would be observable using remote sensing.

Another reason, Cutts says is more personal. She

had been conducting a survey for a previous research project in 2009 at the height of the foreclosure crisis.

When many of the surveys from that project were returned as “undeliverable,” Cutts started going door to door. She couldn’t help but notice the number of houses foreclosed.

“I could see that the lawns were dead, swimming pools were dry, and the copper piping had been stolen or intentionally removed by the previous owners,” Cutts said. “I became curious about whether this visible change always happens when homes are foreclosed. It could tell us a lot about how cities, neighborhoods, and individuals affect the ecology of neighborhoods. We wondered if we could see a signature of the foreclosure event using remote sensing techniques.”

Maricopa County includes most of the metropolitan area of Phoenix. Of the 1.5 million residential properties in Maricopa, approximately 28 percent, or almost 420,000, had gone through some sort of foreclosure between 2002 and 2012. By overlaying foreclosure data and the satellite images, research

team member Michael Minn created what he labeled a “difference in deviation” calculation. This allowed the team to examine change in the greenness of a yard before and after foreclosure in comparison to its neighborhood. This helped account for factors other than foreclosure that influence grass growth.

Of the 420,000 foreclosed homes, the team estimates that for 28,000 properties, the yard became browner, which signifies grass death, while at the same time 14,000 became greener. “After comparing our results to Google Earth images before and after foreclosure, we are confident that the changes we detectedonthesepropertiesareduetoincreasedgreen (or brown) vegetation.” Cutts said. “We can’t yet say whether the change is accidental or intentional. In our next project, we’d like to know more about what accounts for the differences we observed.”

Cutts believes that the remote sensing methods her team developed bring something new to the study of urbansettings.“Otherstudieshaveonlyfocusedonthe highly resolved images. They haven’t said much about change over time. We now have a good way to show

change over time in urban areas using this method.”

Another message from this study, Cutts said, is that although big-scale studies are interesting and useful, they are also insufficient in helping us truly understand how policy shapes these urban environments.

Cutts described how the new method might also be used to examine natural disasters such as the California drought. “For example, if you overlayed the natural rainfall with where water restriction policies are being put in place, you could look at the land before and after the policy and see if it is making a differenceonindividualhouseholdsorneighborhood greenness overall,” she said. “You’d be able to get a sense of whether policies are effective and where they don’t seem to work. You might be able to track the tensions between neighborhood association policies and municipal policies.”

“Detection of foreclosure-related landscape management changes using Landsat” is published in Applied Geography. Authors include Michael Minn, BethanyCutts,JonathanGreenberg,NathanPavlovic, Jennifer Fraterrigo, and Kelly Turner.

Real wages show economy stronger than many think

By Donald R. Grimes

Widespread gains

University of Michigan

Last month’s US employment report, released on Friday, contained a lot of good news.

First, monthly jobs growth exceeded expectations, as employers hired 280,000 people. Second, the labor force participation rate ticked up, indicating that people who had stopped looking for work were becoming more optimistic about finding a job and thus had resumed their search for one.

Finally, average hourly earnings for all production and non-supervisory workers in the private sector grew by 2 percent, compared with May 2014.

Some people may question why wage growth of 2 percent would be considered good news. The reason is there was no rise in prices over that period, so the average real wage also grew by about 2 percent. And it is the real wage, rather than nominal pay without accounting for inflation, that ultimately determines the living standards of the American worker.

While the first two highlights from the jobs report are indeed good news, this last one might be its most important takeaway – though it’s been true for a few months now. We’ve been reading articles for years about how stagnant wages have been without focusing on the impact of the lack of inflation. In other words, while we’re not making a lot more money, it should feel like more because consumer

Real wages are up across the board over the past year through April.

Bureau of L abor Statistics

prices have barely budged since the financial crisis – by that measure, wages for most workers are the highest they’ve been in decades.

This matters because it suggests the economy is in better shape than we think and may be what the Federal Reserve has in mind as it considers raising rates this year, with many (including the International Monetary Fund) urging the central bank to wait until 2016.

One of the biggest risks, however, concerns

productivity, which is truly stagnant. That and take-home pay are highly correlated, so if productivity doesn’t pick up, the rise in real wages may well evaporate.

The real wage story

The consumer price inflation data for May will not be released until later this month, so the balance of this essay will focus on the real wage rate in the private sector through April – although I would not expect the story to change once we can evaluate the latest data. (Hourly wage data for government workers are not available.)

I would also like to focus on the economic prospects of middle- and lower-income workers, so I will be looking at the earnings of those in production and non-supervisory roles. This group accounts for 82 percent of all private sector workers, who on average earned US$20.91 an hour in April.

The average hourly real wage for this group since 2007 is shown below (converted to April 2015 dollars). The shape of this graph undoubtedly will surprise many readers given the widely held believe that the middle class has been falling behind economically.

The average hourly real wage did decline during the “Great Recession” and again in 2011 and 2012, but since falling to its recent low of $20.17 in October 2012 it has increased, first at a modest pace and then more rapidly since September as price inflation disappeared.

Perhaps even more surprising for most people is that the average real wage for these employees is now at the highest level since March 1979, although it is still 8.2 percent below the all-time peak ($22.27) reached in January 1973.

The average real wage for middle-class workers declined during the second half of the 1970s, the 1980s and the first half of the 1990s, reaching a low of $17.97 in April 1995 (data go back to 1964).

Since then, wages have tended to slowly increase, with the largest gains when price inflation disappears and the greatest losses occurring when it spikes upward.

That brings us back to the most recent figures.

During the 12 months through April, average hourly real earnings for production and non-supervisory workers increased by 2 percent. These wage gains are fairly widespread among industries, as is shown in this table.

Moreover,thegreatestwagegainsoccurredinsome of the lowest-wage industries: in retail trade (up 2.3 percent), accommodations (4.6 percent), full-service restaurants (4.7 percent) and fast food restaurants (3.7 percent). Clearly some of the lowest-paid workers in Americahaveenjoyedsomeverysubstantialrealwage gains during the past year.

Real wage gains have also far outstripped productivity gains. From the first quarter of 2014 to the first quarter of this year (most recent data), labor productivity in the non-farm business sector increased by only 0.3 percent, compared with real wage growth of 1.9 percent for private sector production and non-supervisory workers over the same period.

The poor rate of productivity growth has been a feature of the current economic recovery. Over the past five years, from the first quarter of 2010 to the first quarterof2015,outputperlaborhourhasincreasedby only 2.8 percent, or 0.6 percent per year. Over the long run, productivity growth puts a cap on the maximum rate of growth in the real hourly wage rate – meaning if productivity doesn’t start rising, neither will wages.

Why real wage growth is poorly understood

So why are people so convinced that middle- and low-wage workers have been losing ground?

Many people point to the fact that the real hourly wage is less than it was in 1973, but that reflects the decline that occurred between 1973 and 1995. Since then, the average hourly wages have been on a slow upward trend, averaging 0.76 percent per year – not much, but positive all the same. And as I’ve shown, those gains accelerated in the past year year, with even larger ones in lower-wage industries.

Perhaps the recent wage gains have yet to sink into people’s consciousness, and thus their assessment of the economy will shortly improve. Also, millions of people are still unemployed or have dropped out of the labor force, and their income has not benefited from the increase in average wages.

Or perhaps people are unhappy because they are comparingtheirfinancialsituationwithhigher-income households, who have done even better, although income inequality is only slightly worse than it was in 2000, when the middle class seemed much happier.

Or maybe it’s something as simple as our spending desires outpacing the growth in the real wage rate.

People clearly were spending a lot of borrowed money through 2007, when the financial crisis sharply curtailed many people’s ability to borrow and spend.

What I do know, however, is that unless productivity growth improves, the real wage gains that the data show will prove fleeting. And then we really will be in a world of hurt. -TheConversation.com

Obituary

Home. Cooked.

Charles MacArthur Bradley Charles M. Bradley was born in Chicago on September 26,1918 during the Great Flu epidemic, to Helen and Harold Bradley at home.

He died at the age of 96 last fall at his home in Naples, FL. His father moved the family to Rockford several years later and join the firm headed by his Grandfather C.W. Bradley. After attending the University of Illinois and graduating from the School of Architecture, Chuck worked in Detroit and served in the Army during WWII. He helped build infrastructure in Postwar Japan and Germany, including the first permanent bridge over the Rhine River. He was in the Army Corps of Engineers.

He and Joan went back years later and the bridge was still standing from the War. After the War, he joined his grandfather and father’s firm, Bradley & Bradley, and he noticed the number of GIs’ coming home and starting families. He concentrated on future work building schools for many years in the northern Illinois area and southern Wisconsin. He designed over 250 schools. He also built a variety of public buildings such as Singer Zone Center and River Bluff Nursing Home. His career covered nursing homes, healthcare, restaurants, fire stations, country clubs and service organization headquarters. He also won a national American Institute of Architects (AIA) award for cutting edge pool design for high schools that revolutionized clocked swim times. He also followed the new educational trends and designed with those in mind, such as Rockford’s Kennedy Middle School with its pod classrooms.

He retired in 2001.

Bradley & Bradley is the second oldest architectural firm operating today in the USA. The firm presented five generations of architects through all of Rockford’s growth years, impacting the fabric of the community with both public and private design.

A few of Bradley & Bradley’s more notable works are: Tinker Cottage (Great-Grandfather George), Memorial Hall (Grandfather CW), The Armory (Father Harold)-National AIA structural Award), Kennedy Middle School, Singer Zone State Mental health Center, River Bluff Nursing Home, and Wilson Middle School.

He also belonged to Phi Kappa Psi fraternity, served as a president of Northern Illinois AIA and was listed in Who’s Who since 1965.

He and his wife, Joan D. Bradley, traveled extensively for years with homes in Rockford, Florida, and Wisconsin. They spent time every year in Mexico and Hawaii at their timeshares.

He was an avid reader, golfer, loved to snorkel, sail and fly fish—any fishing—just give him a pole. And cards!

Obituary

Alice wondered and worked for all

By Frank Schier Editor & Publisher

We lost Alice Saudargas Monday, June 8, 2015, at 99 years of age. Sadly appropriate–people like her only come around every 100 years or so.

I will always remember Alice and her husband, Alex, first and foremost as champions of West High School when it was closed by School District 205 in 1989. They believed and fought for the common Joe and Jane, and their right to have a neighborhood high school.

During his wonderful career and the efforts to reopen West, the famous basketball coach Alex could have never realized he would be outlived and eclipsed in local fame by his wife, Alice. Yet, again, somehow I don’t think Alice’s increasing prominence would have surprised him.

They were both big smilers yet gruff, but very good with people and tremendously persistent. You never had to second guess either one of them; and the longer you knew Alice, the more readily she told you not to guess about anything because she knew the way it should be. Her surety and sincerity always made me smile; her values came from a simpler time she fought to bring to the her “school

19

kids” today.

The fact that she ran for the school board when she was 84 and won was an amazing feat.

When I first interviewed her, I remember pointing out that the closing of West High School promulgated the People Who Care lawsuit, and that the original plaintiff group was quite diverse, without the total focus on race. Although that is not to say some County Club Terrace daddies did not like the daughters dating Afro-Americans. As a west-sider and 1972 Boylan Catholic High School graduate, I told her I thought West High School was the most ethnically balanced school in the city at the time. Furthermore, I thought the People Who Care case was more west side versus east side, or a social class control battle, indicated by the closing of West. Nodding vigorously, she gave one of those famous deep laughs and said that was politically incorrect to point out in public. Then she said, “Keep

doing it.”

We agreed when Attorney Bob Howard gained control of the case, the race card became the entire deck. He left town with millions and millions in our legal fees, and left us with a double administration and massive busing. No real results. She stepped into that mess with her usual courage, and her attitude of “what are we going to do about it?”

Once on the board, she confided to me once, with her usual disarming honesty, “The meetings can be quit boring, and I think I take naps.”

Let’s hear more Alice. Her words from five years ago still ring true for District 205 today.

The following is from the Jan. 12-18, 2011 issue of the The Rock River Times: Vitals: Alice Saudargas, 94, has been a Rockford resident since 1940. She has served on the Rockford Board of Education for 11 years.

In her spare time, Saudargas rescues various types of animals including cats and squirrels in particular. Also, she is a voluminous reader who also enjoys spending time with her family, when she is not out visiting local schools and meeting District 205 students.

1. What factors motivated you to run for the Board of Education seat in your sub district?

I’ve been in education all my life. I started at age 6, then went on to college. I wanted to give my kids the best chance they have to gain a good education. I love to watch kids learn. It’s that look they give when something hits home for them. Education is my life, and schools are my passion. Plus, I love our community, and I feel it has so much to offer.

2. What experiences – work-related or otherwise – do you feel would help you succeed as a Board of Education member? My experiences in the classroom – from primary to secondary, all the way up to special education.

I’ve written curriculum and set policies, so I know my way around the education world. I’ve also been very involved in politics, which I also feel will help aid my success.

3. If re-elected, what changes would you push for immediately? I would push for more transparency. The people who are pushing for changes have not been a part of the team, nor have they been a part of what is expected of them. We need to have everyone on the same team – from the teachers, to the custodians, to the administration.

4. What should District 205 parents and students know about your educational philosophy? I want the best educational opportunities for each and every child in this district regardless of his or her situations. I want each child to have the ability to make his or her futures better because if they succeed, our city will also succeed.

Come one, come all to the Pr

By Shane Nicholson Managing Editor

The redefined boundaries of print will be on display this Friday as the Printmakers Ball exhibit opens at the Rockford Art Museum (RAM).

The Ball features the work of 14 artists who have set out to explore and expand new methods of print, from portable presses to complex artistic installations, addressing socio-political issues with their skills.

The Fatherless Print Posse will be among the artists represented, featuring local printer and co-owner of Rockford Art Deli Jarrod Hennis.

“Fatherless has been slinging ink in exhibitions and art fairs since the summer of 2010, however this summer is shaping up to be our biggest yet,” Hennis said.

“Following stops at The Illinois State Museum, Somerset House (U.K.) and most recently the Walnut Ink Projects, the opportunity to be featured in the Rockford Art Museum has us ramping up production of prints, as well as an installation effort that was inspired by both our individual backgrounds and our collective aspirations.

“Our most exciting nugget is the collaboration for this latest body of work, with our friend Benjamin Rider. Rider, from London, England, has established a style and body of work recognized alongside Fatherless in People of Print’s self-titled publication of the print industry’s current forces working tirelessly to ‘keep print alive’ and we are thrilled to have him as an integral part of the Printmaker’s Ball exhibit.”

Other artists taking part in the Ball include Michael Barnes, Aaron S. Coleman, Eric Fuertes (Dumbo Press), Martin Mazorra, Cleon Peterson, Sean Starwars, Joseph Velasquez, and Tara Zanzig (Tararchy). Fuertes’ work in sculpture featured in an exhibit at RAM earlier this year.

The exhibition is slated to run through Sept. 27 at RAM. Museum members are invited to a preview of the exhibit, 5-7 p.m. on Friday.

A public opening will follow from 7-10 p.m. featuring live printings by the artists, a DJ and cash bar.

Fatherless will be taking part in other printers’ events this summer, Hennis says.

“While (the Printmakers Ball) runs through September, we are excited to announce that we also have a solo exhibit at Print Club London opening July 9, which will be followed up with our participation in ‘The Promise of Something and Nothing’ exhibit at Sonce Alexander Gallery in Los Angeles which runs Aug 1. through Aug. 29.”

But having this exhibit open in Rockford is a testament to the increasing emphasis on unique and local art, said Hennis.

“We are proud to have the support of our local community,” he said, “and honored to be included among industry leading artists.”

When in Rome...

By Lynn and Rob Belles

Independent Vacation Specialists

In the fall of 2008 our family took a cruise that departed from Rome (Civitavecchia) Italy.

On this trip, our daughter Suzee’s leg was in a boot from a dance injury, so we were being cautious not to walk too much. Our hotel shuttle dropped us at the Mouth of Truth in the basicila of Santa Maria in Cosmedin, approximately one-half mile from the Old City. From there, we wanted to take the bus into the city where we planned to go to a bank and exchange dollars for euros.

When the first bus stopped, we got on, and as we have done in so many other countries, held out a handful of dollars and change. The bus driver shook his head side-to-side while snapping instructions to us in Italian. Confused, we stepped back off the bus. A helpful bystander was able to convey to us that we needed a bus pass and that the driver could not take any currency, euros or dollars. Rob then set off on foot to find a bank and a place that sold bus passes, while Suz and I waited.

After a short 15 minute walk, and little help from some locals that spoke a bit of English, Rob told us, “I found a bank and entered a dim lobby that had mail boxes to the right of two revolving doors through which I could see the tellers. As I entered the revolving door, a man entered the lobby with me. Inside the turnstile, a voice in Italian commanded me to do something, and the doors did not spin and open. In my peripheral vision, I noticed the other man had put something in the mail boxes and then

easily passed thru the revolving door next to me. I backed up and noticed each mail box had a large plastic key, like we give toddlers for play, sticking out of it. I then realized the revolving doors were metal detectors and the man had removed his belt, and put it in one of the boxes.

So I removed my belt, put it in the box, and successfully entered the bank. The tellers spoke impeccable English and were able to exchange money and provide me directions to a lottery store where bus tickets are sold.”

A quick walk across the Piazza Venezia and Rob was able to purchase bus passes for our family. At the lottery store, he was told we did not need tickets as bus travel was done on the honor system. We could have ridden the bus to the store to purchase our tickets. Upon leaving the store with our bus tickets in hand, Rob noticed an American couple at the ATM machine using their bank card to get euros, without removing their belts. We now carry a Capital One card (with no foreign transaction fee and a fair exchange rate) that we can use at foreign ATMs to get local currency more easily, and they all have an English option.

Vibrant health through digestion

By Julia Michniewicz, N.D.

Poor health is often the result of impaired digestion function. That is because more than 80 percent of the body’s immune defenses are located in the digestive track. Elevated liver enzymes can definitely signify a liver problem.

If you do not have laboratory tests to bring in when you make an appointment I look for liver markers on your fingernails, tongue and body appearance. If you suffer from any of the following conditions, you would highly benefit by having a colon hydro-therapy treatment and the correct cleanse or detox. nGas & Bloating nDiarrhea and Constipation nHeartburn & GERD nIndigestion nIBS nLeaky Gut nLiver Toxicity nFatigue/Low Energy nWeight Gain nDry/Oily Skin nHeadaches/Migraines nAllergies nBrain Fog nYeast Overgrowth The liver is such an important organ when it comes to digestion and nutritional care.

With the liver filtering everything we eat, drink, put on our skin and breathe it is so important to take care of our filtering system. Many liver problems like cirrhosis and hepatitis go undetected until symptoms develop. Oftentimes this may be too late and the disease has progressed to more advanced stages. Looking for more physical signs can be helpful in determining liver disease risk. Your physically change when there are internal changes going on will be detected

through changes in your nails, tongue and body appearances. ALT and AST can be beneficial along with cholesterol numbers but that is just one piece of the puzzle. Along with ALT level’s higher than normal and individual may also be overweight and may already have insulin resistance or become a diabetic risk. When I see these markers, I suggest strongly to my clients that they need to do a series of colonics and liver detox’s and I educate them on their diet.

Our liver is responsible for turning food into energy and any impairment will of course cause fatigue. A bitter metallic taste is due to a bile build up which can occur with liver problems. Bloating and dry mouth are due to associated digestive and liver issues. If there is pain in the upper right quadrant area this typically is related to a gallbladder problem which means that the liver may be affected as well.

Even if both the AST and ALT are within normal range I look at the ration of both of these numbers for this will show me if there is a sign of a fatty liver. This again is why I always look at the AST/ALT numbers and their ratio for is it liver cirrhosis, an alcohol induced fatter liver or non-alcohol induced fatty liver. The supplements that I use protect the liver from damage, increases liver mitosis rate, reduces the liver enzymes AST and ALT as well as the virus challenge load, suppresses hepatitis viral challenges and increases fat metabolism from forming in the liver (fatty liver).

Your Horoscope

By Denise Guzzardo Week of June 10-16, 2015

This Week: Moving from rough to smooth water this week as we witness Mercury leave its retrograde position and move direct on June 11.

Saturn reenters Scorpio on June 14 and remains there until August 2 allowing some Scorpios to retrace their steps while shedding light on reoccurring complications within their lives. Sagittarius on the other hand can enjoy a little breather from Saturn’s task mastering regimes. No matter what sign you are, these aspects will allow plenty of room for do overs. Allowing us the opportunity to right a wrong, not only by embracing our mistakes. We may even learn from them as well, enjoy!

Aries (March 21 to April 19) — Family matters may be a little stressful early on this week as you or a loved one move through a difficult healing process. By week’s end there are some definite signs of improvement that allow everyone to breathe a sigh of relief. Many of you will find yourself in the midst of a career upgrade in some way shape or form during the month of June. Check it out, this could be exactly what you’re looking for Aries.

Taurus (April 20 to May 20)­— You may be counseling someone with a legal dilemma in the near future, but try not to get them all worked up in

the process. There is a simple solution at the end of the day and what appears to be a threat is just that, no action will be taken in the long haul. Finances begin to improve midweek, set some money aside for a rainy day. An opportunity for career advancement will be visible this month Taurus.

Gemini (May 21 to June 20) — Someone may be confused with your silence early on this week . Make sure you are touching base with loved ones and keeping them informed of your status to put their mind at ease. This may feel as though it may not be your responsibility and in some instances it isn’t. However, those closest to you may be a little more sensitive than normal and they may just need to hear a friendly positive voice. The weekend is filled with surprises and the past may reenter your life in a very unusual way Gemini.

Cancer (June 21 to July 22) — This may be an excellent time to kiss and make up with your significant other or a valuable friend. You have not been yourself and as a result of that you may not have presented yourself in the best possible light the last few weeks. Hiding your head in the sand and pretending like nothing happened will not resolve the issue. Facing it head-on will ensure the best results. By week’s end things appear to fall back into place Cancer.

Leo (July 23 to Aug. 22) — Someone is trying very hard to goad you into an altercation. Don’t take it personal though, they have just run out of other people to mess with and boredom has set in. Your best action is to ignore them entirely and don’t get sucked into their nonsense. People

like this eventually move on to another victim.

However, what they don’t understand is they may be shooting themselves in the foot with a loved one as a result of it. The last laugh will be on them, not you Leo. Virgo (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) — There is a healing energy working within your physical and emotional space at this time. Try to receive this openly even though it may feel a little unfamiliar to you now.

Life provides you with solutions to a long-standing problem. Accept these with open arms and allow this knowledge to surround you and flow through you. By week’s end you have the clarity you need to move forward with no regrets Virgo.

Libra (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) — The stress and strain of financial elements are taking a toll on you. This may be a good time to retrace your steps and look into other forms of income. You won’t know what’s out there unless you try asserting yourself. Hiding your head in the sand won’t accomplish anything.

Romantic aspects may be a bit confusing when Saturn reenters Scorpio. Don’t push the issues Libra.

Scorpio (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) — Romantic elements come into full view at this time. No matter what the outside influences reveal, your own inner voice provides the truth. The old saying, “if you can’t be with the one you love honey love the one your with,” does not work for you now. You need to align yourself with someone that holds all of your responsibilities in high regard, as well as respects them Scorpio.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) — Those around you could be quite emotional or overwhelmed this week with circumstances that are out of their

41

control. Try not to take this behavior personally and set a boundary with how much garbage you’re willing to accept. Midweek things begin to take a turn for the better. Career options arrive with improvements towards your long-term goals. Put your best foot forward at this time Sag. Capricorn (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) — This is a great time to get a second opinion with your career.

Co-workers are more than willing to help you solve a problem as well as advance your long-term goals.

Your personal life may need a little more attention at this time. Extend invitations for an impromptu gathering this weekend. Mixing business and pleasure works out in your favor Capricorn.

Aquarius (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) — Advancements with your career sector arrive at this time. All of your past efforts combined with a little blood, sweat and tears provide the payoff now. You may want to get those mundane tasks out of the way now before you become too overwhelmed. You may need to have a heart to heart talk with a friend or family member at this time.

You will be able to help them through a difficult time with your love and compassion Aquarius.

Pisces (Feb. 19 to March 20) — Your energy begins to shift into high gear midweek, take advantage of this aspect and get those annoying tasks out of the way. Your social sector begins to expand. This is a great time to connect with those of like mind and spirit. You may need to retrace your steps to locate a lost item or article. Don’t panic it will magically appear when you least expect it Pisces.

layoffs in June? Perhaps a stretch, but the Chicago Cubs’ four-game trip to Washington over the weekend might have provided a look into October, leaving fans breathing a bit easier after taking three out of four from the Nationals.

Winning the series from Washington, their second-to-last stop before two games in Detroit, certainly helped to calm fans after a disappointing 1-2 series against the scuffling Miami Marlins.

Despite being one ill-fated Kyle Hendricks pitch away from potentially turning the series record upside down, barely making double-digit runs in the series and wasting an outing from team ace Jon Lester came at a bad time for a team jockeying to keep position at the back end of the wild-card chase.

Even with the slide in Miami, the Cubs go into their series with the Tigers having won 15 out of their last 25, 16 of which were against teams over .500. Continuing that pace will require continued support from the second offensive tier like they got in Washington from the returning from injury Chris Denorfia.

The top tier of Anthony Rizzo and Kris Bryant is keeping up their end, as Rizzo enters Detroit with a 12-game hitting streak and Bryant was honored for a solid May, which included leading the league in runs batted in, with National League Rookie of the Month honors.

“I’ve definitely heard about the guys that have come before me,” Happ said during a phone conference. “I had a chance to talk to Kyle Schwarber

a little bit last year. Great guy. I’m really excited to add to the college bats they have coming through, and hopefully be the next one to move through the system.”

Happ will join a minor league system currently led by last year’s first-round pick Kyle Schwarber, who has been rumored for (but most likely not in

line for) a brief call-up to fulfill designated hitter duties during their interleague visit to Detroit.

After the pair with the Tigers, the Cubs will return home to welcome Ohio, as the Reds and the Indians each come in for a three-game series, which hopes to provide a brief respite after the demanding road trip.

Triple Crown

Pharoah tears down 37 years of history

By Susan Johnson Contributor

S

ome things were just meant to be. After 37 years, it was the moment we’d all been waiting for - as American Pharoah pulled off a feat that some thought would never happen again. Before a crowd of 90,000, with a 5-1/2-length victory, America’s dream horse won the 147th Belmont Stakes and the Triple Crown, leading the eight-horse field wire to wire.

Good thing they put ear plugs in the eventual winner. The noise of the crowd was noticeably loud as the jockeys rode up to the starting gate. After the race was over, it was deafening.

And maybe the crescendo was loud enough to drown out last year’s sour-grapes tantrum put on by Steve Coburn, the volatile co-owner of California Chrome.

It was crowded in the winner’s circle as the Zayat family, the Baffert family, and jockey Victor Espinoza rejoiced in the rare triumph of winning not one but two trophies - one for the Belmont Stakes and a special one for the Triple Crown.

An interested observer from years ago was present to help celebrate the victory.

Penny Chenery, 93, owner of 1973 champion Secretariat, witnessed the latest member of “a very exclusive club,” as she said. There might still be arguments about the fairness of spacing the races over five weeks, but the 12th Triple Crown winner proved that it could be done.

Some in the audience were not even born yet when the last Triple Crown went to Affirmed in 1978.

Now it’s official, American Pharoah’s fame is sure to grow. He was born Feb. 2, 2012. He was named in an online contest but some-

how his name got misspelled but never corrected before it was officially registered. He has an impressive lineage. His great-grandfather was Unbridled, 1990 Kentucky Derby winner; his grandfather was Empire Maker, winner of the 2003 Belmont; and his sire was Pioneerof the Nile, who finished second in the 2009 Kentucky Derby. The only place he seems to come up short is his tail, which was nipped off by another horse on the farm where he grew up.

The Zayat family once came close to missing their moment in the spotlight. American Pharoah was originally put up for auction at the Saratoga yearling sales, but when no one bought him, the family had second thoughts and decided to buy him back - a fortunate

decision. He has the second-highest earnings of any horse to run in the Belmont Stakes at $3.7 million, topped only by Smarty Jones in 2004.

At the Belmont, American Pharoah paid $3.50, $2.80 and $2.50. Frosted, who finished second, paid $3.50 and $2.90, while third-place Keen Ice paid $4.60 to show.

Proving that patience and perseverance can finally pay off, trainer Bob Baffert achieved the Triple Crown on his fourth try, having lost in 1997, 1998 and 2002. Jockey Victor Espinoza made it on his third attempt, losing in 2002 with War Emblem and last year with California Chrome.

American Pharoah made their dreams come true with his flying hoofs and a flourish of his stubby tail.

SOCCER

Pitch imperfect

when pressured by their national associations.

FIFA’s stalling tactics had also meant that the case was unlikely to go to court before the start of the tournament. (The one silver lining: the 2019 tournament in France is to take place on grass.)

In short, women’s soccer remains in a precarious position. Things are progressing, but soccer remains a largely male-dominated domain.

Developments towards gender equality in one area are often accompanied by frustrating setbacks in others. The Canada World Cup gives us much to celebrate, but it is hard to shake the sense that until we see substantive shifts in how soccer is organised and governed, and how women’s soccer is perceived, we are still a long way from where we need to be.

Katharina Linder is a Lecturer in Film and Media and a member of the Centre for Gender & Feminist Studies at the University of Stirling, U.K. She holds a PhD in Film Studies from the University of Glasgow.

From Page 46

Gender inequality and sexist attitudes continue to permeate all elements of the game and all levels of its organizational structure.

After all, the FIFA president who proposed tighter and more feminine clothing for players in 2004 as a key strategy for improving the profile of the women’s game was still in charge of world soccer’s governing body until just a few days ago.

This is also an organisation whose first female executive-committee member, Lydia Nsekera, was appointed as recently as 2013.

And other soccer executive bodies fare little better: Karen Esplund is the only female member of the UEFA executive committee; Heather Rabbats became the first woman on the board of the English FA in 2011; and there are no women on the Scottish FA’s board.

MLB

Sox draft Vandy RHP Fulmer

By James Fegan The Catbird Seat

T

One very controversial issue surrounding the Canada World Cup gives another glimpse of the fundamental differences between men’s and women’s soccer. The tournament is taking place on artificial grass, which is utterly unthinkable for any elite men’s competition. Artificial turf is cheaper and easier to maintain, but players often feel that it changes the nature, flow and overall quality of the game.

In October 2014 a coalition of 84 players from 13 different countries filed a lawsuit against FIFA and the Canadian Soccer Association claiming that these pitches amounted to gender discrimination. It was was led by some of the most prominent names in the women’s game, including US captain Abby Wambach, German goalkeeper Nadine Angerer, Spain’s Vero Boquete and French international Camille Abily.

Perhaps unsurprisingly, however, it was dropped earlier this year as a number of players withdrew

he White Sox have selected Vanderbilt right-hander Carson Fulmer with the eighth pick of the first round.

My optimism for this pick has been skyrocketing ever since I realized this is not Carson Palmer, the 35-year-old quarterback with multiple ACL tears.

In a draft light on top-shelf talent, and better stocked in college pitching than anything else, the Sox got the college pitcher they’ve widely been attached to and projected by many respectable prognosticators to be the pick, should he fall this low. That sounds suitable enough.

Conventional wisdom brought us “Wow, Courtney Hawkins is great value here,” and “Tim Anderson is kind of a reach,” so we’ll see. In the draft, and even more so in pitching prospects, you do the right thing and die, you jump off a cliff and cruise to safety on a resting cloud, and you try not to take a lesson from either experience.

Fulmer, 21, lacks ideal size, has more stuff in his three-pitch mix than command, and a somewhat unique delivery. For all these reasons, the battle for the Sox development team is to make him a starter, rather than merely a lively and valuable reliever.

Surely they look upon this task with great relish. The Sox could use a right-handed starter in their system, they could use someone closer to the majors than Tyler Danish and with more upside than Chris Beck, and they could use someone who could be flipped for major league value soon because, jeepers, that offense. Fulmer could represent all three, so he is welcome.

You don’t draft a guy in the top ten out of a pile of college arms without feeling uniquely positive about him and willing to throw out a flowing quote about his character, and well, here’s a doozy. “‘If I had one guy to say he’s an absolute 80+ makeup guy, it’s him,” said White Sox assistant scouting director Nick Hostetler of Fulmer. “He battles, competes.

“I would want this kid to start Game 7 of the World Series for me, but also I have two daughters and I hope a guy like that marries one of my daughters. He’s that type of terrific kid.’”

Geez, Nick. Haven’t even started negotiating with the kid yet and you’re throwing in reception costs.

Flying over Rockford’s AirFest

By Jon McGinty Contributor

Another Rockford Airfest has come and gone at Chicago Rockford international Airport. This year’s headliner was the Navy’s Blue Angels flying their shiny F/A-18 Hornets.

The Angels were scheduled to be here in 2013 but were withdrawn due to the Congressional sequester. The last time they flew over a Rockford audience was in 2007.

An estimated crowd of 60,000 people attended Saturday’s show, but predictions of rainy weather kept the numbers down on Sunday, although the clouds parted in time for the Angels’ performance in the afternoon. Several civilian and military planes were on static display, a unique feature of Rockford’s event, and lots of performers roared and zoomed over the audience’s heads both days.

I’ve been a fan of airshows as long as I can remember, volunteering at the Rockford event for years, later covering the activities as a reporter/ photographer. Although never a pilot, I’ve flown in numerous aircraft, mostly as a member of the working press who are offered pre-show publicity flights from various performers. This year I was able to fly in two very different but very special airplanes.

On Thursday I flew with world aerobatic champion Rob Holland (41) in his high-performance 2-seat Extra 300L, sponsored by Window World. The 300L is a single-engine, 2-seat monoplane built to withstand maneuvers at +/- 10 Gs (the force of gravity on the ground is 1 G).

Holland is a member of the U.S. aerobatic team and competes all over the world, in addition to flying in nearly two dozen air shows each season, both as a solo and team performer.

Prior to my flight, Holland gave a much more “dynamic” ride to Sgt. 1st Class Matt Tallman (33), a local 14-year veteran of the Army National Guard unit in Machesney Park. Tallman was randomly picked from a list of military nominees and give a “Hero Flight” by Holland, part of a three-year program instituted by the pilot.

Tallman served overseas tours in Afghanistan and Iraq, but admitted his flight with Holland on Thursday was “intense.”

“It was awesome,” says Tallman, shortly after landing. “I’ve done nothing that compares to it.

He even let me fly a barrel roll by myself!”

During my 15-minute ride with Holland, we met up by chance with the AeroShell aerobatic team, who were practicing their routine southwest of the airport, and who invited us to join their formation. The four AeroShell pilots fly AT-6 Texans, big radial-engine monoplanes

used to train pilots in World War II, and are at least three times the size of the airplane we were in. (To share my experience, go to the website at rockrivertimes.com and view my white-knuckled flight as recorded on the GoPro video camera mounted on the instrument panel.) Wow! Friday I joined a large group of navy recruiters and press people to ride in the Blue Angels’ huge C-130 Hercules transport aircraft, affectionately known as Fat Albert. Flown by a wild and crazy—but very competent—Marine Corps crew, Fat Al is used to carry 40 crew and maintenance personnel, along with pallets of gear and equipment, that support the precision flight team as they travel to more than 35 show sites each season.

The C-130 is a four-engine turbo-prop aircraft that has been around since the mid-1950s in various configurations, and cruises around 375 mph. The Marines give an exciting demonstration of its capabilities before each performance by the jet team.

During our flight, I was tightly strapped into a seat on the flight deck behind the pilots and flight engineer, and next to Kelsie Passolt, TV reporter for WREX. The crew had advised us during our pre-flight briefings (four of them) that the louder and more excited we became, the better they would fly, and some didn’t let them down.

The Marines took off at about 130 mph, then pointed the nose of the aircraft upward at a 45 degree angle. The rapid acceleration made us experience two-to-three-times our normal weight, only to be thrown against our seat belts when the plane leveled off around 1000 feet above the rapidly-diminishing runway. This weightlessness let crew members in the cargo compartment “fly” around in front of the passengers, who shouted with enthusiasm. In the cockpit, the flight engineer floated to the ceiling, and Passolt screamed with delight.

This take-off maneuver used to be performed with the help of eight solid-fuel JATO rocket bottles firing out both sides of the fuselage.

The last JATO performance was in 2009, as the stockpile of Vietnam-era rockets was expended.

The flight continued with several low-altitude, high-speed turns, as pilots called out altitude and airspeed numbers to the pilot in command. It ended with a short-field landing demonstration, where we dove toward the runway at a 25-degree angle, the ground rapidly filling the windshield, leveled off before touchdown, reversed the props and slammed on the brakes.

Our flight aboard Fat Albert Airways was at an end, and everyone (myself included) exited the plane with their “barf bags” intact and unfilled.

Women’s World Cup heralds progress, but a level playing field in the sport is miles away

By Katharina Linder TheConversation.com

W

ith the FIFA Women’s World Cup barely underway, it has already made history. The 53,000 spectators who turned up to see hosts Canada defeat China 1-0 on June 6 was a record attendance for a soccer match on Canadian soil – and surpassed the organisers’ already high expectations. The final on July 5 in Vancouver has been sold out since April. Overall, more than 900,000 tickets have been pre-sold for the 52game tournament, with prices ranging from C$22 to C$165 ($18 to $133).

This builds on what we saw at the London Olympics three years ago. As many as 70,584 spectators saw Team GB beat Brazil at Wembley, while the 80,203-strong crowd at the final between the US and Japan set a new attendance record for an Olympic women’s soccer final. No doubt about it, large numbers of people are now interested in women’s soccer and will pay to see the world’s best players in action.

Playing for a (relative) pittance

Having played elite-level soccer at national and international level over the last 20 years, I have experienced the rocky road towards greater gender equality first hand. The crowd sizes are signs of tremendous and hard-fought progress. I vividly remember some of my German teammates reminiscing about the tea service they received from the German soccer association for winning the European Championships in 1989 (two years before the first official Women’s World Cup). Had Germany won the 2011 World Cup, the prize money would have been approximately $92,000 per player – a significant increase, even if it pales in comparison to top male soccer players’ weekly salaries.

Women’s soccer has been described as the fastest-growing sport on the planet. The number of teams competing in this year’s tournament has increased from 16 to 24. Goal-line technology, introduced by FIFA to its

‘Women’s soccer has been described as the fastest-growing sport on the planet. The number of teams competing in this year’s tournament has increased from 16 to 24. Goal-line technology, introduced by FIFA to its flagship men’s competition in 2012, is being used for the first time in the women’s tournament.’

flagship men’s competition in 2012, is being used for the first time in the women’s tournament. FIFA’s broadcast production arm has promised the “biggest and most advanced broadcast production for a women’s soccer tournament”. And for the first time, all games are being covered by the BBC in the UK, Fox Sports in the US and SBS in Australia.

The sport has even entered the world of video gaming. FIFA 16, to be released in September this year, will feature a number of female players and teams (a move, it should be mentioned, that has been greeted with expressions of misogynist outrage by parts of the gaming community).

Resistance to progress

Despite all these positives, progress is often inconsistent, erratic and frequently met with fierce resistance by those keen to protect the male-dominated status quo. Here in Scotland, we have seen a number of dismissive newspaper articles in recent years. One suggested that the Scottish FA’s $1.83 million financial investment in women’s soccer wasn’t “justified”, because women just didn’t perform well enough and were taking money away from the men’s game – a surprising argument considering the women’s team was ranked 11th in Europe at the time, while the men’s national team was ranked 29th (on a considerably higher budget).

A similarly derogatory article appeared following a European women’s qualifier played at Fir Park a couple of years ago. More recently The Scottish Sun published a piece reminding the reader that “women’s (soccer) will never be popular”. This was just after Glasgow City FC had made history as the first Scottish team of either gender to ever reach the quarter finals of the UEFA Champions League (against Paris St-Germain, which they lost 5-0).

The women’s national team had also reached its highest ever rankings at the time (19th in the world and 11th in Europe).
