Urban Equity Properties detailed plans for three downtown development projects during Monday night’s city Planning & Development Committee meeting. UEP plans to further rennovate the building at 327 W. Jefferson St. (above) and the Talcott Building (right), and will undertake a new construction project on the site of the former Hanley Building on South Main.

UEP unveils new developments

By Jim Hagerty Contributor

ROCKFORD — A development company with an existing downtown presence will soon expand its footprint with three major projects.

Rockford’s Planning & Development Committee announced Monday that the three projects by Urban Equity Properties will come with 87 market-rate apartments, and host commercial and office space.

One of the developments, named “301”, is at 301 S. Main St., the site of the former Hanley Furniture building that burned down last year. UEP plans to build a new $5.5 million, four-story building that spans 40,000 square feet in its place. It will offer 33 one- and two-bedroom luxury apartments, rooftop deck as well as restaurant and retail on the ground floor. Construction would begin next year and be completed by 2020.

Renovations are set to begin this year on the other two projects, The Residences at Talcott, at 321 W. State St.; and CA Flats, 327 W. Jefferson St. “This is a game changer,” UEP President Justin Fern said, “not just for downtown but the city of Rockford. We are literally bringing $27.8 million in projects that begin next month. This isn’t something

that we are going to do in the future. This is something we are going to start very quickly.”

The Talcott transformation will turn the 13-story office building into a mix-used property with 13,000 square feet of commercial space on the ground floor, five floors of offices, and 42 apartments. There will be a tenant lounge, game room, deck and fitness center. A bridge will connect the building to the West State Street parking deck.

The $12.5 million project is in the River North TIF district and is expected to generate about $3.5 million in tax increment by the time it expires in 2031. The city would enforce a standard pay-as-you-go TIF agreement but also advance UEP $743,000 in three installments. Urban Equity would repay the advance from the tax increment and be liable for shortfalls in the projected increment.

The CA Flats will offer 12 residential lofts, each between 1,000 and 1,200 square feet.

The three-story building on the corner of W. Jefferson and Church streets will offer underground parking, a rooftop deck and retail space on the ground floor. The city estimates the renovated property will generate about $700,000 in tax increment when the River North TIF expires. Urban

Equity would be eligible for those funds under a pay-as-you-go agreement.

There would be TIF dollars at play on the 301 S. Main building, too. Originally in the West Side 2 TIF, the Hanley site is now in the Amerock TIF, which expires in 2041. Urban Equity would be refunded the increment under a pay-as-you-go agreement, minus the $523,000 the city spent last summer to demolish the Hanley building. The property is expected to generate a $3.9 million tax increment.

“All of these projects are going to have a big impact,” Fern added. “But, 301 itself will be positioned between the new $87 million Embassy Suites hotel project and the Burnham Lofts. So, it literally connects the dots and will have a massive impact on downtown.”

Burnham Lofts, a project on which UEP partnered with a developer in New York state, offers 62 apartments at 202 W. State St., two blocks north of the Hanley site.

They are among the more than 150 highend residential spaces Fern has developed over the last decade.

Urban Equity’s total investment in the three new projects is about $21 million.

All three development agreements will be up for a vote in front of the full city council next week. R.

Main Street Players present ‘The Hiding Place’

By Jim Hagerty Contributor

BELVIDERE — The Main Street Players of Boone County are gearing up for their first performance of “The Hiding Place.”

The show opens Friday, May 11, at 7 p.m. at the Community Building Complex of Boone County, 111 W. First St., Belvidere.

“The Hiding Place” is the story of Corrie ten Boom, a girl who lived a quiet life as a watchmaker in the Netherlands with her family. As the story unfolds, Corrie, the writer, narrates a normal life in her small town until the Nazis invaded the Netherlands in 1940. The story then takes a spiritual turn as the ten Booms, a Christian family, began helping Jews avoid capture. Corrie eventually finds herself hiding Jews in her home and resorts to a barrage of petty crimes to keep them hidden. As it becomes increasingly difficult for the ten Booms to protect their Jewish friends, members of the Dutch resistance help build a secret room, “the hiding place.”

Corrie ten Boom and her family were arrested in 1944. And although the Jews the ten Booms hid from the Nazis were never discovered, she was imprisoned for months, including time in Ravensbrück, a German concentration camp for women. After her release in late December 1944, she returned to Holland, where she gave shelter to the mentally disabled who feared execution by the Germans. She died in 1983.

The Boone County production of “The Hiding Place” is directed by Gary

Tate. It is the final show of the 2017-18 season. Following is the full performance schedule. Friday, May 11 and 18, 7 p.m.; Saturday, May 12 and 19, 7 p.m.; and Sunday, May 13 and 20, 2 p.m.

Tickets are $12 for adults and $5 for students with ID.

Other 2017-18 productions

“The Happy Elf” Written by Harry Connick Jr., the story follows the story of an North Pole elf who tries to help an entire town of full of naughty children on Christmas Eve. The show ran last November.

“Don’t Drink the Water” A Woody Allen production that originally premiered in 1966 on Broadway, it tells the story of an American ambassador of a European county who temporarily places his son in charge and pandemonium breaks out. A zany series of events causes a national crisis that causes communist officials to believe an American family who accidentally took pictures in a secure area are spies.

Main Street Players of Boone County is a nonprofit community theater group founded in May 1994. Spokesmen say the theater’s goal is to provide quality amateur theater in all aspects to the residents of Boone County and surrounding areas.

Group tickets for “The Hiding Place” are available by calling 800-741-2963.

Music may help impaired communicators connect better with others, NIU project says

By Guy Stephens WNIJ News

Jaime Mayer oversees several projects at Northern Illinois University that explore the interfaces of music, language and thought.

“And what we have found over the years – and what we’ve already known, but now what I’ve been able to see, experience, clinically, over the years — is that music has this way of drawing out language and cognition in ways other stimuli can’t or other situations cannot,” she said.

Mayer, an associate professor of speech-language pathology in the School of Allied Health and Communicative Disorders, says the results have been remarkable.

For instance, she’s used music with stroke victims and found they could sing even if they couldn’t speak at all – a condition called aphasia that’s not uncommon after a stroke.

“I’ve used it with people with really severe dementia who look like they’re completely in their own world,” Mayer said, “but then you stick a pair of headphones on them and start playing music from when they were in, say, their twenties, and all of a sudden they’re dancing along and singing a little bit and they’ve come to life.”

She also oversees the Bridges Choir at a local nursing home. It’s made up of people with stroke, brain injury or memory problems who nonetheless are able to sing, even if language or memory is otherwise hard for them.

How does this happen? Mayer says researchers have found it has something to do with how music is stored in the brain — and it turns out nearly every part of the brain is involved.

“What this means is that, if someone has brain damage affecting a specific part of the brain, even if language and memory are almost completely gone,” she said, “music is much more likely to be spared.”

Mayer says they then can use music to draw out the individual. Another reason music works so well, she says, is something called “cognitive self-efficacy.” “ … which is basically this belief that you are good at something, that you’re useful, that you’re able to do something,” she said, “and one of the biggest ways to boost that is to put someone in a situation where they are good at something.”

Something like singing. Mayer has seen that positive reinforcement give people a boost in efforts to improve function in other areas of their lives.

It’s not just extreme situations, like patients with strokes, where music can help improve communication. A generation of country music fans remember the late Mel

NIU Assoc. Prof. Jamie Mayer, in background with whiteboard, works with graduate student Elizabeth Lanza, center, conducting the Bridges choir at a local nursing home. Singing helps some of the the participants improve their speaking as well.

Tillis as the performer who stuttered badly when he spoke but never when he sang. And there are other examples in the arts.

Jane Fraser, president of the Stuttering Foundation of America, says stuttering isn’t just one thing, but rather a spectrum, ranging from almost unnoticeable or occasional to so severe as to interfere with one’s ability to function at school or work.

There may be several causes, too. Genetics play a big part, but so can environmental or psychological factors, or some combination.

Fraser says experience has shown that something as simple as nursery rhymes help very young children with language skills. For them, as well as adults, singing can help with stuttering. She says a key part of that is the difference between conversational speech and an activity like singing.

“Some folks who stutter have a problem with word retrieval,” Fraser said. “They’re searching for the word. So, in other words, there’s a language component. And they’re searching for the word, and that may be part of what may be slowing them down and slowing down their speech. So the lyrics in the song are already given to them.”

Mayer refers to this as automatic versus volitional speech – something improvised as opposed to something that gets ingrained in your brain’s neural pathways as a memory, even if you aren’t conscious of it. An example of the latter could be when you hear a song on the radio that perhaps you haven’t heard in years, but are still able to sing along with it.

Fraser says a song’s rhythm also seems to help stuttering, and certainly the melody helps. She says specific centers and associations in the brain help explain why.

“Singing is probably over in the right hemisphere where there’s emotion and there’s happiness,” Fraser said, “and talking is usually in the left where you’re trying to think of what you’re going to say and under some kind of pressure to put a sentence together.”

As Fraser suggests, being familiar with a song isn’t the whole story. One of Mayer’s colleagues, NIU associate professor In-Sop Kim, actually tried to see what happens in the brain of someone who stutters when they use music to speak. Kim conducted a small study with a man who had a severe stutter, using a technique another researcher had developed.

“Simply, the guy thinks about the melody that he could do,” Kim said, “and then whenever he’d talk about some events, he’d think about the melody, and he’d put his words in the melody.”

Kim measured the man’s brain activity and found different parts of the brain were active when the man used the melody with the words.

“He actually used both the left and the right hemisphere more than earlier,” Kim said. “That means he used the right hemisphere more.”

Kim says the verbal results were obvious: only two disfluencies – pauses, repetitions

and the like – recorded when the man used the technique, versus nine when he did not.

Both sets of data seem to confirm what Fraser and Mayer say about music and speech centers in the brain.

Kim says the results are interesting, but he needs to conduct a larger study that includes a control group before he can say whether the brain activity or the usefulness of the technique he observed apply to a more general population.

Still, Kim, Fraser and Mayer agree that music has been shown to play an important part in helping stutterers, whether they pursue a music career or not, as well as those with more extreme challenges.

But, Mayer cautions, while music is a powerful therapeutic tool, it is not a cureall. Some people with big deficits are helped and will improve in other areas, but many will not. Even so, she says music can still be important for them.

“You know, the big thing we’re looking at a lot of times in stroke and brain injury and dementia is just quality,” she said. “Quality of life. How much time out of the day do you spend, you know, being happy, or doing something that you feel is useful? In a social situation, say, or something that you’re proud of? And that’s sometimes, even, where this can come into play.”

And whether it’s a mild stutter or a massive impairment, improving someone’s quality of life seems reason enough to try.

Gov’s race gets weirder with McCann 60 / 34 65 / 41 60 / 40 61 / 37 66 / 48 76 / 57 76 / 54

Get the latest weather updates at RockRiverTimes.com/AccuWeather

By Rich Miller Capitol Fax

Several months ago, Illinois House Speaker Michael Madigan’s chief of staff, Tim Mapes, made copies of candidate nominating petitions for what appeared to be every single candidate in the state, regardless of party or office sought.

Madigan’s spokesperson was mum when asked why.

It turns out that a database was constructed of the names of all the people who circulated petitions during the primary.

Here’s why that matters: Last week, state Sen. Sam McCann, R-Plainview, pulled the trigger on a third-party bid for governor. McCann, an avowed foe of Gov. Bruce Rauner, will have to collect 25,000 valid petition signatures by June 25 to get onto the November ballot.

There’s a catch, however. Under state law, all signatures for McCann gathered by people who also circulated petitions for partisan primary candidates will be invalidated. Now, thanks to the new data base, it is a relatively simple matter of plugging in names of potential McCann petition circulators to weed out the potential problems.

If McCann gets on the ballot, the idea is to establish a new party’s identity with one specific goal in mind. Its name is the Conservative Party. Its mission is to attract conservative Republican voters who are upset with Rauner’s views and actions on abortion, “sanctuary state” and other stuff, including possibly guns.

Four years ago, Operating Engineers Union Local 150 backed the Libertarian Party’s candidate to hurt Rauner, but that candidate also got a number of votes from folks who didn’t like Democratic Gov. Pat Quinn. The new Conservative Party

will focus on disaffected Republicans and attempt to continue the theme that Rauner is unable to unify his own party after his narrow GOP primary victory over Rep. Jeanne Ives.

If McCann survives the petition process, one challenge will be finding money for this race.

Lots of union leaders and others believe that billionaire Democrat J.B. Pritzker has this race in the bag. They’re convinced Pritzker’s personal fortune along with a strong national Democratic wave will destroy the Republican incumbent.

But the folks behind this Conservative Party idea (including Local 150) firmly believe they need a “Plan B” in case something goes horribly wrong.

Pritzker could be hit with some unforeseen opposition research, for example. The national political climate could suddenly change for any number of reasons. Rauner could somehow get his act together.

And even if the Democrats’ stars remain aligned all the way through November, a McCann candidacy could help the Democrats run up the score on Rauner.

But the plan has its detractors.

Democratic legislative candidates in Republican-leaning districts have been hoping that the national “blue wave” that so many see heading this way, combined with Gov. Rauner’s horrible unpopularity, will lead to lower turnout among Republicans and help them squeak through. Putting McCann on the ticket gives disaffected Republican voters a reason to head to the polls and they won’t be voting for Democrats down the ballot.

And while calling it an “interesting play,” a top Republican official with close ties to the governor said Sen. McCann

could attract some Democratic votes as well.

Pritzker, after all, has far more liberal stances than Rauner on immigration, guns, abortion, etc. Rauner has repeatedly said in recent weeks that he strongly opposes illegal immigration and flatly denies that a bill he signed into law created a “sanctuary state.” The governor also claims to be a National Rifle Association member and vetoed a bill last month that would’ve regulated gun dealers.

Pritzker’s vast holdings include several companies that have really bad records when it comes to their employees.

In other words, it’s more than conceivable that the Rauner campaign could use targeted media to try and drive conservative, pro-union Democrats and independents to McCann.

It’s also very possible that Rauner will go all-out negative against McCann. A far-right group aired a very nasty radio ad during the March primary about the governor and his wife. So, the Rauner folks may feel free to go just as negative on McCann.

Operating Engineers Union Local 150 contributed $50,000 to McCann’s campaign fund just a few days before McCann’s announcement and will be very involved in his effort. The union is known for its unorthodox political moves, like working with conservative activist Dan Proft during the primary against House Republican Leader Jim Durkin.

But the involvement of Local 150 also gives Rauner the ability to use the “Madigan issue” against McCann because the union local has close ties to the House Speaker.

If you thought the weirdness ended on primary day, it’s actually just beginning.

Late fees still piling on bill backlog

By John O’Connor AP Political Writer

SPRINGFIELD — Illinois has racked up more in late-payment fees in less than three years than it did in the 18 years combined, according to a report The Associated Press obtained Monday, and some major creditors say they’ve waited more than a year to receive the interest they’re owed.

The report by state Comptroller Susana Mendoza found that the $16 billion in pastdue debt that piled up during a two-year budget stalemate comes with a steep

price. Since July 2015, Mendoza reported, prompt-payment penalties have totaled $1.14 billion, $100 million more than the total from 1998 up to then.

Mendoza, a Democrat, was scheduled to release the report Tuesday, the first accounting of past-due bills and accrued interest since she was successful in getting a law requiring state agencies to report their incurred bills monthly.

Earlier Monday, private companies, which have kept government vendors afloat by paying their bills and relying on state reimbursement with interest, told lawmak-

ers they’ve waited months for late-penalty payments, threatening the program.

Representatives of the four so-called qualified purchasers told the Commission o n G o ve r n m e nt For e c a s t i ng a n d Accountability that banks and other lenders could dry up without timely latefee payment.

“We essentially get slapped in the face when we’re paid the base invoice amount and none of the $100 million in prompt payment penalty due,” said Gregory Gac, secretary-treasurer of Illinois Financing Partners, a qualified purchaser.

State Bicentennial

Rivers helped feed economic growth in state

By Joseph Bustos

The Belleville News-Democrat

During the first century of the state’s history, the natural habitats along the Illinois River helped spur fishing industries and had places for hunting.

The Illinois River was a habitat for bottom-feeding fish such as catfish, common carp and smallmouth buffalo as well as mussels. The abundance of fish led to a commercial fishing industry between Havana and Meredosia, according to the state museum. Towns had their own markets that processed and shipped fish to large Midwestern and Eastern cities from the 1890s to the 1950s.

Sport hunters formed clubs and bought land along the Illinois River to start duck hunting resorts managed by locals, according to the state museum.

However, there also was a demand to be able to transport goods, which changed life along the river.

Reports in the 1830s said the river wasn’t navigable in 70 to 80 places during the low-water months. A canal was eventually built between LaSalle and Chicago.

“The canal was instrumental in Chicago’s growth,” said Michael Wiant, the interim director for the Illinois State Museum. “There’s a recognition there, navigability on the river would give vitality to the economy of Illinois.”

Towns along the Illinois River, such as Naples, Grafton, Peoria and Beardstown, are the earliest communities in the region to be established. Ottawa had deposits of silica sand, that would be transported into Chicago for construction.

“You could begin to see the river as an artery that literally feeds the heart of the city,” Wiant said.

Levees eventually were built along waterways to keep the river in place, and maintain a channel. That infrastructure decision also eventually drained floodplains and backwater habitats, which led

Steamboats on the Illinois River. Photo, courtesy of Illinois State Historical Library to those areas becoming land for row-crop agriculture.

“The river is largely, by the early part of the 20th century, engineered to handle that transportation issue that is having vitality,” Wiant said. “But it comes at a price of not only the natural powerhouse of the backwater lakes, things like commercial fishing industries are affected negatively. It changes the character of the river profoundly.”

Natural habitats for ducks, fish and mussels were negatively affected and populations crashed, Wiant said. Eventually there were wildlife refuges established to give habitat to ducks to try to keep those population.

“To maintain navigation, you need stable water levels. To get stable water levels you need locks and dams. To keep the channel in place you need levees,” Wiant said.

“Levees then cut off the backwater lakes from the natural hydrology of the river, and while you’re producing agricultural commodities, which are good things to be sure, the price you’re paying, the natural

habitats are deteriorated.”

Using the Illinois River, as well as the Mississippi River, as economic engines for the transportation of goods continues today.

In recent years, there has been an effort to increase the amount of commodities and goods that are moved down the Illinois and Mississippi rivers.

America’s Central Port has been awarded a $713,000 federal grant to help load containers on the Illinois River at Beardstown. The containers would be sent to Chicago to be loaded onto trains, or to St. Louis where containers would be placed on trains, or continue down the Mississippi River on barges to New Orleans. The project is still in the planning stages.

Cargill has grain elevators along the Illinois river, in locations such as Havana.

Barges are loaded and then sent down the river and eventually connected to the Mississippi River where they head toward the Gulf of Mexico where they are then shipped around the world to places such as Europe and Japan.

“There’s an immense amount of grain that is transported along the river today,” Wiant said. “So, if you look at Naples, and Beardstown, and Meredosia and Havana, the number of elevators of grain handling facilities in Havana is stunning. They do an incredible amount of transportation of grain from that point.”

According to the Mississippi River Cities and Towns Initiative, nearly $5 billion in annual revenue and 20,000 jobs are generated by commercial navigation on the Mississippi River.

In 2015, 35 million tons of goods moved on the Mississippi River through the St. Louis area, according to data provided by the St. Louis Regional Freightway, which is a freight district and comprehensive authority for freight operations and opportunities within eight counties that compose the St. Louis metropolitan area.

“It’s a combination that adds up to the St. Louis region having inexpensive barge freight rates for the handling of fertilizer, steel, manufactured goods, coal, petroleum products and agricultural commodities,” said Mary Lamie, executive director of the freightway.

The St. Louis area, and the freightway district, has touted how one-third of all the river freight traffic from Minneapolis, Minnesota, to Cairo, Illinois, goes through the St. Louis region.

The St. Louis Regional Freightway is promoting the Mississippi River between Illinois and Missouri as the “Ag Coast.”

Ports in the St. Louis area are the northernmost ice-free and lock-free access ports to and from the Gulf of Mexico.

A new big tree champ in Illinois

By Susan Stephens WNIJ News

MT. MORRIS — There’s no denying the Bald Hill Prairie Preserve is a pretty special place. Last year, the Byron Forest Preserve District acquired the gravel hill prairie that had been used for cattle grazing for decades. For one thing, Forest Preserve Executive Director Todd Tucker says it’s the second highest point in Ogle County.

It has a great view of the Rock River. It’s home to endangered and threatened plants and animals, like woolly milkweed and short-eared owls.

Oh, and the largest tree in Illinois.

Tucker noticed the surprisingly large eastern cottonwood (Populus deltoides) last November, months after the forest preserve district purchased the former ranch land. It’s at the base of Bald Hill, or Old Baldy, as some locals remember it. It doesn’t look that big until you get close because it’s situated at the bottom of a steep gravel hill and until recently was surrounded by smaller trees and invasives.

“When I first went up to it, I’m 6 feet 2 inches and have over a six-foot reach,” Tucker said, stretching his arms wide.

“It took me six times to put my hands around the bark and measure where my last hand was. It took me six times to hug the tree to get all the way around it. And I thought, man, we might have something here.”

And man, did they. Using a drone with good elevation software, they found it was 120 feet tall. It’s 28.5 feet around. Those calculations, plus the tree’s average canopy or dripline, added up to a Big Tree Total of 491 points. Four points more than the previous state champ, a bald cypress in southern Illinois.

There’s one person who could crush or confirm this record – Jay Hayek, the University of Illinois Extension’s forestry specialist and keeper of the Big Tree List. In an email, Hayek confirmed that “the eastern cottonwood that Todd Tucker nominated is indeed the biggest tree in Illinois based on the measurements that he supplied and self-verified.”

We will set aside the big tree purist argument for now, about whether this is a single stem or fused stem tree, which may or may not matter anyway. Hayek states “we are currently considering this specimen as the largest Big Tree in Illinois.”

The public gets a chance to stand in the shadow of the biggest tree in Illinois at the grand opening of the Bald Hill Prairie Preserve at 5502 N. Silver Creek Rd. in Mt. Morris Saturday, April 28. The Arbor Day celebration includes tours of the new preserve, hay rides, and tree giveaways.

Where does tire wear go?

By Drs. Robert & Sonia Vogl Contributors

As we transition to more hybrid and all electric vehicles we reduce our reliance on gasoline and diesel fuels which helps to reduce climate change and air pollution. Numerous articles address the benefits of electrified transportation but few address some of the pollution problems related to the tires on which the vehicles travel.

We never gave much thought to the impact of vehicle tires on air quality until Bob broke out with a rash on a thumb cut that a doctor treated. It was attributed to the latex bandage covering the wound. We quickly dug into the literature on the prevalence of rashes attributed to latex.

At the time nurses reported developing rashes from wearing latex gloves.

Several articles on the subject suggested that the increase in allergic reactions to latex might be related to the buildup of tiny particles of latex in the air from tiny particles from tire wear released to the atmosphere which could enter the body via breathing. Other studies refuted such conclusions and the issue disappeared from the news.

After removing the bandage, the rash on Bob’s thumb cleared up in a couple of days and our concerns about air pollution from tire wear slowly seeped into the back on our minds. That is until we came across a recent article raising concern about how tire particles are impacting life in the ocean.

According to an article by Jason Bittel, the United States releases an estimated two million tons of tire particles to the environment annually. He wonders what happens to those tiny particles as they are washed into drainage ditches, streams and rivers, eventually ending up in the oceans.

Bits of plastic less than five millimeters in size are of concern. We only have a limited understanding of their environmental impacts. A few studies have reported that these particles have genetic impacts on Japanese rice fish, that they interfere with oyster reproduction and adversely impact the vigor of crabs.

The presence of tire particles in plastic ocean litter varies from 10 percent of all ocean plastics to as much as 90 percent in some sampling sites. John Weinstein, an environmental toxicolo-

gist, has collected samples from estuaries in South Carolina and is feeding the particles to grass shrimp in his lab.

He reports that as with other microplastics the size and shape of the plastics can be lethal. Weinstein realizes that long term effects of exposure to hydrocarbons and heavy metals warrant further studies.

While few studies exist, some have found crabs that ate mussels absorb the microplastics eaten by the mussels.

Some of the particles are also found in the tissue of the fish. At this time there is limited evidence that the tiny particles are found in the fish we eat or that there are any adverse impacts on human health. It is a newly recognized problem with no easy solution.

The problem has reemerged from another perspective and reminds us that we have only a limited understanding of the adverse effects on the planet of the human enterprise as it is now practiced.

Even what is widely considered a good environmental reform, a transition to electrified transportation, is only a partial solution. Much more work needs to be done. R.

What Greek tragedy illuminates about James Comey

By Victoria Pagan The Conversation

Once upon a time, there was a prominent, powerful man in government who cared deeply about integrity and following the rules.

He said, “You cannot know a man completely, his character, his principles, sense of judgment, not till he’s shown his colors … Experience, there’s the test.”

Leaders have a sacred obligation to those they rule, he said.

“As I see it, whoever … refuses to adopt the soundest policies but fearing someone, keeps his lips locked tight, he’s utterly worthless.”

The responsibility to act with integrity extended to others in leadership, he believed. He could never “stand by silent … nor could I ever make that man a friend of mine who menaces our country … Such are my standards.”

You can imagine reading these sentiments in James Comey’s new memoir, “A Higher Loyalty: Truth, Lies, and Leadership,” a book that is provoking a spectrum of responses.

But these words are actually excerpts from a translation of Creon’s first speech in Sophocles’s “Antigone,” written almost 2,500 years ago.

I am a professor of classics who studies the literature of the ancient Mediterranean world. In the wake of the publication of Comey’s memoir – and under the current president in general – I believe there is a case to be made for reading the ancient Greek tragedies: not just because they shed light into some of human nature’s darker corners, but because the practice may even help us find common ground in our fractured political climate.

Creon’s terrible lesson

For some, Comey’s book only pours salt in the wounds of the so-called October surprise. That’s when Comey, then the director of the FBI, announced that the investigation of Hillary Clinton’s emails was reopened. Comey insists that in his position, he had the awesome task of adopting the soundest policies without fear of retribution; for the sake of the country, he could not stand by or keep silent.

For others, the memoir provides ample evidence that Trump is “morally unfit to be president.” Comey is no friend of a president who menaces our country, echoing Creon’s “Such are my standards.”

Creon’s tragic story begins after the downfall of King Oedipus, when the rule of Oedipus’s city Thebes fell to his two sons, Eteocles and Polynices, who were supposed to hold joint command.

Eteocles, however, refused to share

the ruling of Thebes with his brother. So Polynices gathered an army of allies and attacked the city in an aggressive act of civil war and fratricide.

Both brothers were killed, leaving their uncle, Creon, to inherit the troubled kingship.

Creon issued an edict that only Eteocles should receive an honorable burial; the body of the aggressor Polynices should be left to rot. Antigone, sister of both dead men, defied the edict and paid minimal funeral rites to her brother Polynices because she believed that the laws of the gods outweighed all human laws.

For her disobedience, Creon, who lived by rigid rules, condemned her to death.

He is ultimately convinced to change his mind, but not before Antigone commits suicide along with her fiancé Haemon – Creon’s son – and Haemon’s mother – Creon’s wife.

Creon learned his lesson too late.

Principles above all else

In spite of the obvious differences between Creon and Comey, I believe the comparison with Greek tragedy, while not exact, is illuminating.

Both men appear to share the same tragic flaw: an unbending adherence to principles. Both men believe they are acting in the best interest of their community. Both men align their words and deeds, and in their actions they reveal their character.

And the actions of both men have unintended consequences.

Both men can be defended for uphold-

ing the rule of law. Both men can be condemned for causing harm to fellow citizens.

Of course, we cannot expect Comey to come to any grand realizations like Creon, and Comey has made it clear that he is not going to issue any apologies for adhering to his principles.

Rather, reading Greek tragedy equips us with a framework for understanding ourselves a little better.

Tragedy sparked shared reflection and ‘katharsis’

In ancient Athens, the traditions of tragedy began in religious festivals. The theater was from the outset a place where performance, for actors and audience, was entwined with religious worship.

Furthermore, the performance of tragedy was a distinctly political aspect of the life of Athenian citizens.

Athens in the fifth century was a democracy, inclusive and participatory.

The religious festival, including the award of prizes to the top playwright by a jury of 10 citizens chosen by lot, reflected not only the organization of the city but its pride and its intellectual achievement as well.

The myths, retold from generation to generation, preserved and created images of universal significance. The myths also distanced the audience from the story being told in terms of space and time, and this distance allowed the playwright to portray topics that were socially uncomfortable, politically contentious, religiously irreverent and culturally radical.

Tragedy gave the audience the opportunity to look at itself, to examine its less than noble qualities and, in the process, to come clean about what it means to be human and to be happy. This process is called katharsis, the Greek word for “cleansing.”

Although Sophocles’s audiences in fifth-century Athens were members of a participatory democracy, they were by no means homogeneous politically. Athens was in the middle of the Peloponnesian War. For 30 years, citizens regularly debated strategies and by the end, gauging from Aristophanes’s Lysistrata, some were even protesting the war.

The tragedies presented ethical conundrums to unravel, with no clearcut answers: Which is more powerful, fate or free will? Divine law or human law? Persuasion or justice? Justice or expedience?

Through the stories on stage, audiences were able to think through some of the most pressing issues of their day, in spite of their political differences.

There’s something cathartic, cleansing and even liberating about Comey’s memoir. A cynic will view the book as his attempt to whitewash, or at least control, the stories and maybe even clean up his image.

But it also seems to be a book that – as Greek tragedy did for its audience thousands of years ago – appeals to those on either side of the political divide and can free us from crippling partisanship, even if only for 304 pages.

Southwest has faced fines, safety complaints

By David Koenig AP Airlines Writer

DALLAS — Southwest Airlines runs its planes hard. They make many short hops and more trips per day than other U.S. airliners, which adds to wear and tear on parts, including the engines.

As the investigation into last week’s deadly engine failure continues, Southwest CEO Gary Kelly could face questions about whether the company’s low-cost business model — which puts its planes through frequent takeoffs and landings — is putting passengers at risk.

Some aviation safety experts said they see no reason for alarm. And, in fact, Southwest’s safety record is enviable: Until last week, no passenger had died in an accident during its 47-year history.

Still, the Dallas-based airline has paid millions over the past decade to settle safety violations, including fines for flying planes that didn’t have required repairs. Twice in the past nine years, holes have torn open in the roofs of Southwest planes in flight.

In another episode in 2016, an engine on a Southwest jet blew apart over Florida because of metal fatigue, or wear and tear, hurling debris that struck the fuselage and tail. No one was hurt.

Then, last week, one of the engines on Southwest Flight 1380 blew apart at 32,000 feet over Pennsylvania, spraying the Boeing 737 with shrapnel and killing 43-year-old Jennifer Riordan, a mother of two who was blown partway out a broken window. The National Transportation Safety Board said a fan blade that had snapped off the engine was showing signs of metal fatigue.

The union representing Southwest mechanics recently accused the company of pressuring maintenance workers to cut corners to keep planes flying. And the Federal Aviation Administration investigated union whistleblower complaints and found mistrust of management so serious that it could hurt safety.

In one case, investigators said a worker who should have been praised for finding corrosion on a plane in Dallas was chastised

for working beyond the scope of the task he had been assigned. The leader of the Aircraft Mechanics Fraternal Association, Bret Oestreich, said Southwest had created a culture of hostility and retaliation.

Nevertheless, aviation safety experts and longtime industry watchers said they do not consider Southwest unsafe.

“They have had a lot” of incidents, said John Goglia, a former NTSB member, “but you have to remember that they have a very large fleet” — more than 700 Boeing 737s, the largest 737 fleet in the world.

Before last week, if Goglia thought about airlines that might have safety questions, Southwest wasn’t even on the radar, he said.

Southwest’s short, frequent flights put more stress on the plane and engines, like a car used heavily in stop-and-go city traffic, said Alan Diehl, an aviation-safety consultant and former NTSB and Air Force accident investigator.

Diehl said, however, that Southwest’s crews are accustomed to the quicker pace and that their work is made easier because

Southwest flies only Boeing 737s instead of an assortment of planes.

Southwest jets make on average 5.3 flights per day compared with between 2.8 and 3.4 per day at American Airlines, Delta and United, according to an analysis by industry newsletter Airline Weekly using information from airline data provider Diio.

Southwest flies frequently on short routes such as Los Angeles to San Francisco and Dallas to Houston. Its average flight is 764 miles, the shortest among U.S. airlines and barely half as long as the average at American and Delta, according to the Airline Weekly analysis. Each takeoff and landing contributes to wear and tear on the aircraft.

“It’s amazing how safe Southwest has been over the years, considering the operational difficulty of what they do,” said Seth Kaplan, managing partner of Airline Weekly. Like others interviewed for this story, Kaplan said he is not afraid to fly Southwest — he and his family are booked on a flight next week.

Reduced filing fees under the LLC Act

By George P. Hampilos, Esq. & Thomas C. Laye, Esq.

On Dec. 20, 2017, Illinois Governor Bruce Rauner signed into law Public Act 100-571. The law amends the Limited Liability Company Act (805 ILCS 180/5010). The amendments reduce almost all fees associated with filing and maintaining a limited liability company (“LLC”) in Illinois. Articles of Organization went from $500 to file to a filing fee of $150.

Previously, a “Name Reservation” cost $300, but now it has been reduced to $25.

Annual reports were $250 to file and now are $75. Across the entire schedule of fees, there were reductions of approximately 70 percent off the old, higher fees. Lowering the fees has the effect of matching the fees charged for similar document filings necessary for a corporation, and makes the use of the business entity a more attractive option.

Changes in family law

Deciding if you want to file for divorce can bring about many questions and concerns. If you were a spouse who stayed home to raise children, or did not earn a significant share of income, one of those questions is undoubtedly going to be whether you will be

able to support yourself. The Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act (“IMDMA”) provides for the concept of “maintenance,” more commonly known as “alimony.” Currently, in Illinois, maintenance is determined by calculating thirty (30 percent) percent of the payor’s gross annual income, minus twenty (20 percent) percent of the payee’s gross annual income. However, the total amount of the payee’s income cannot equal or exceed forty (40 percent) percent of the total gross income of the parties’.

This formula previously only applied to couples with combined, gross income less than $250,000. Starting June 1, 2018, however, this equation is to be applied so long as the parties make less than $500,000 (a change from $250,000) and the payor has no obligation to pay child support or maintenance from a prior relationship. If the parties’ combined gross income is more than $500,000, the court is to take into account a list of 14 factors listed in the IMDMA when making a determination of the amount of maintenance.

The other change that is to take effect on June 1, 2018 is the manner in which duration of maintenance is calculated.

The current model on how duration of

maintenance is calculated assigns a fractional number to multiply the number of years a couple has been married. The fractional number increases every five years the couple is married. Currently, if a couple is married for 9 years and 364 days, the duration of maintenance is based upon the length of the marriage multiplied by 0.4. If the couple is married for 10 years, the multiplier is 0.6. As you can see, this outcome leads to a big disparity based on a marriage lasting one day longer. The new law corrects the problem and takes a more granular approach. Under the new law, the increase in multiplier will occur after every year once the five year anniversary is reached. If the marriage does not make it to the fifth year, the old model is used.

Moral of the story: Try to stay married, unless you have an advanced degree in mathematics.

Veterans and vehicles

On Aug. 18, 2017, Illinois Governor Bruce Rauner signed a Bill passed by the Illinois General Assembly permitting the Illinois Secretary of State to waive the written exam requirement of a commercial driver’s license for military veterans. Public Act 100-223 amended 625

ILCS 5/6-507.5, adding section b-5 which allows for the waiver. The section reads that the Secretary of State may waive the general knowledge test for qualifying driver applicants of a commercial learner’s permit. A qualified applicant is an individual who is a current resident of Illinois; is a current or former member of the military, including any reserve component or National Guard unit; within one year prior to the application was employed in a military position that requires the operation of large trucks; has received formal military training in the operation of a vehicle similar to the commercial motor vehicle the applicant expects to operate; and provides the Secretary of State with a general knowledge test waiver form signed by the applicant and his or her commanding office certifying that the applicant qualifies for the general knowledge test waiver.

Budokan: 4 decades on Forty years ago this week, Cheap Trick embarked on the trip that would propel them to international stardom. On the nights of April 28 and 30, 1978, the four boys from Rockford played to 12,000 fans and recorded their iconic triple-platinum “Cheap Trick at Budokan.”

The album wouldn’t be released offi-

cially in America until February 1979, but Japanense imports began flooding the marketplace during the autumn of ‘78.

Word had spread across the U.S. about the set, and Cheap Trick found themselves front and center in the American rock scene.

“We never expected it,” Rick Nielsen

John “Muzzy” Muzzarelli: “I was behind Bun E Carlos’ drum kit on stage in Budakan as I was working for Cheap Trick at the time.”

Roger Brace: “I only heard what was played on the radio. Didn’t pay much attention to the group until I learned that Ralph Nielsen’s boy from The Grim Reapers was in the band.”

Michael Hysmith: “I was in high school when I first heard the album. I bought it and played it every day! I also had an 8-track tape!”

Mike Parr: “I bought the album when I was in grade school, at Bergner’s at the North Towne Mall. They had a record section in the lower level of the store.”

Mark Heckman: “Living in Monona, Wisc. and working as a barber. Bought it as an import at a record shop on State Street in Madison.”

Sean Kerns: “I don’t so much remember the album, as much as I remember that you couldn’t be in a band or jam with a group of people without having to cover ‘Surrender’ or ‘I Want You to Want Me.’” Brad Jennings: “At a friend’s house in my hometown of Yuma, Ariz.”

told The Times in a 2015 interview. “We played some club in Iowa, I don’t even remember. There were maybe 50 people there. The next day we flew to Japan and there were 5,000 people screaming for us when we landed. It was like, ‘Whoa! I love this place!’”

The change back home was immediate, Nielsen added, with the American rock press finally coming to recognize the band.

“There wasn’t a lot of coverage,” he recalls. “I mean, you had Rolling Stone and some local trade mags, but that was

Gene Duffy: “In my living room , drinking Coors, smoking weed, listening through Koss headphones, and watchin the drip wax candle burn....haven’t been the same since.”

Scott Phillips: “I was managing the record department at Union Hall on State selling the crap out of this record.”

Lee Ann Gustafson: “Being an obnoxious high school sophomore. My older brother played it, said I had to listen!”

Thomas William Robertson: “In the Navy, out for a few beers, off base, in Charleston, S.C. Might have been smokin’ something as well.”

John George Jr.: “Driving my car home from work (Ingersoll night shift) and it came on Rockford’s best radio station Y95! So I just turned it up and it sounded kick ass!”

Frank Guzzardo: “Eating pizza at Capri!”

Wes Bresee: “In Reno, Nev. with hair down to my ass, wearing a t-shirt that said ‘Disco Sucks’!”

Grant Atkinson: “I was on a scouts campout and someone was blasting the 8-track. I fell in love with them the first 10 seconds of the first song. They changed the whole style of my drumming.”

about it. When I was in high school I used to get Melody Maker airmailed over to me (from the U.K.). It was about $125 a year for that, but I did it because I didn’t want to wait six weeks to know what was happening; I wanted to know now.

“And after Budokan, we were suddenly part of all that, that whole scene. Our records took off and everything just seemed to travel faster.”

This week, Rockford Rocked Interview’s Todd Houston asked readers and local musicians about their first memories of “Cheap Trick at Budokan.” R.

Jerry Parlapiano: “In Fort Lauderdale.....playing the Ramada Inn circuit.”

Dennis Brazle: “I just moved into a commune in Northern California and was in my mid-20s. The adults didn’t know Cheap Trick but the kids did! I was actually pretty proud to tell them the Tricksters were from my hometown!”

Jim Groff: “Listening to it on my Walkman, riding my bike home from Appletree records, the day I bought it.”

Steve Hartwig: “I believe that I was working at Disc Records, Cherryvale Mall...late 1978.”

Barrett Jensen: “My brother had his room in the basement aligning with the hifi. I was going to Fairview school at the time.”

Troy Vail: “In my parents basement on Pearl Avenue.”

Greg Zahn: “I was in econd grade during the 78-79 school year, which is when it came out. Our bus driver always had a radio playing and we’d hear ‘I Want You to Want Me’ all the time.”

JMK Nippon play by play

By Elizabeth Miller Rockford Area CVB

We have a tradition in my family where we all get together and go out to eat whenever it’s someone’s birthday.

One of my go-to choices is always JMK Nippon. I choose JMK not only because they sing one of the best birthday songs ever, but going there really is like dinner and a show! I’m a big fan of going to JMK for lunch and grabbing some sushi, but sitting at the teppanyaki tables gives you the full experience. To gain some insight in what you would expect when you dine at JMK, let me give you a play-by-play of a meal I would get.

What you need: An empty stomach, good company, and a love for delicious food.

What you order: Share a “dinner for two” with someone (e.g. spouse, sibling, friend, random hungry stranger).

Course 1: Soup and Salad

Soup and salad at restaurants can be pretty basic, but a few special touches to these dishes at JMK make these items really pop. The tangy ginger dressing on the salad is incredibly refreshing, and the light soup feels hearty with the addition of mushroom slices. If you really enjoy the salad dressing as much as I do, go ahead and ask for a side of it to keep for later in your meal...it makes for a great dipping sauce!

only a spatula. But then the real show starts when the chef assembles a tower made of raw onion rings, pours oil over it, and proceeds to light it on fire... causing a large pillar of flame! (Which actually feels quite nice on a chilly day.)

Course 2: Shrimp Appetizer, Rice and Veggies

Course 3: Chicken, Steak and Scallops (Yes, all three!)

This is the part of the meal that has the whole table mesmerized. It’s always entertaining watching the chef prepare the fried rice...while gracefully tossing an egg into the air and catching it using

This is the best part of the “dinner for two.” You don’t have to stress about choosing between what you want your main dish to be, because you get three options! You can choose between scallops

or shrimp, but I usually choose scallops since you already get shrimp as part of your appetizer. You can also choose to upgrade the steak to filet mignon, which is an excellent idea because the steak is so tender, it feels like butter melting in your mouth. Yum!

Bonus Course: Pineapple and Singing

If you go to JMK around your birthday, you need to request the “birthday pineapple.” Not only do you get a slice of juicy pineapple, but all the chefs will gather

around your table and sing you a happy birthday song...in Japanese!

JMK is not only the perfect place to dine at for birthdays, but for any night of the week as well! A few tips though: 1) reservations are always a good idea, and 2) don’t try to eat all of your food if you’re stuffed...the leftovers are delicious the next day!

JMK is located at 2551 N. Perryville Road in Rockford. To learn more about JMK Nippon and other local area restaurants, visit gorockford.com/restaurants.

Local Art

Ordinary wood becomes art at Kortman DOWNTOWN — Drawing inspiration from childhood storybook characters, nature, and spirituality, Brazilian artist Albino Junior creates remarkable miniature sculptures from wooden matchsticks.

These striking and magical works, which Junior refers to as “Arte no Palito,” reveal his uncanny and inspired ability to carve these diminutive and unusual artworks.

Joe Goral Sr. is a Rockford painter and woodworker, whose woodworking focuses on turned pieces using a lathe and scroll-sawn typography. The materials for his work come from downed trees and limbs from around Winnebago County, old skateboards and leftovers from other woodworking projects.

Both artists share a unique, creative relationship with wood, and combined with their emotional and spiritual connections to the subject matter, blur the lines between craft and art. Their work is now featured in an exhibition titled “Into the Wood,” in the Kortman Gallery.

Albino Geovane Vasconcelos Junior, of Sao Paulo, Brazil, believes he has a gift with his unique artistic ability.

“I have been developing my gift since I was 14-years-old when I suddenly got a match, some paints and glue and made my first sculpture: a small Christ on the Cross,” said Junior. “Many people see matches as something disposable that you use only

once and then it loses its functionality. I see sculptures using matches, mixing colors, stories and emotions in a few centimeters!”

“While these sculptures have the peculiar characteristic of being miniature, there is also an incredible variety of detail that amazes and moves a lot of people,” says Kortman Gallery director Doc Slafkosky.

Joe Goral Sr. found inspiration from his father about a decade ago.

“My dad was a huge influence in my initial interest in woodworking,” Goral says. “He started building furniture and would suggest types of woodworking that might interest me. Eventually, I took a jigsaw and stumbled my way through cutting out a large ‘J’ for my son, Joey Jr. I showed it to him and he suggested I buy a scroll saw.

“Within a few months, I had made and sold enough work to upgrade to a really nice saw. I cut up everything from old skateboards to very expensive pieces of wood into intricate cursive words. It was and still is a lot of fun.”

“Into the Wood” featuring sculptural artworks by Albino Junior and Joe Goral, Sr. will be on display through May 31.

Kortman Gallery is located upstairs at J. R. Kortman Center for Design, 107 N. Main St. For more information call 815-968-0123 or visit jrkortman.com. R.

Getting together with Derek Luttrell proved to be a challenging feat. He is a busy man after all, with a solo project and his band Name The Moon, finding the time in between practices and concerts was difficult.

Finally, we managed to find a time that worked for the both of us. I had arrived at Derek’s house on a blustery Saturday afternoon with freshly ground coffee in hand. Derek opened the door and he and his cat Baxter invited me into the tiny, but cozy kitchen. Derek promptly made us some espresso and after going into his living room, we sat down to chat on a love seat.

We covered a few topics such as Name The Moon, including his bandmates Mossy Vaughn, Scott Ford, Jerry Sofran, Gavin Epperson, and Jim Westin. I’m sure many of you have wondered why name

the band Name The Moon? I know I have, especially after seeing a piece of art with the band’s name hanging on the wall in his home. According to Derek, the whole thing started with a Facebook message group. He commented it was “more of a joke because the name wasn’t what really mattered, the music did,” giving a nod to Rick Zillhart of King of The Demons for helping them with the name that

eventually stuck.

When asked what he would classify their sound as, “Rock music!” Derek exclaimed. “Mossy has a background in heavier stuff and so does Scott Ford, though I’m more of a folky kind of guy.”

We moved on from Name The Moon and went on to talk about his solo act.

Derek isn’t wrong about describing his sound as “folky” at all. I’ve previously had the pleasure of seeing Derek open for Erik Kosiken in March at the Coronado and was blown away by the strikingly clear sound of his voice. Yes, he sings in Name The Moon but folk music is where Derek Luttrell really shines.

Reminiscent of James Taylor, his earthy tones make you long for winding country roads and an open blue sky. I had to know how he did it. How did he write his songs? The kind that throws you back to the days of the greats singing at the Grand Ole Opry.

“Well, I usually come up with a melody that gets stuck in my head,” he says, “and you know, kind of figure out what chords would work with it, then sing it over and over again until lyrics start coming. I usually write songs when I’m not feeling the best.”

I had to see this in action, even though Derek said he was feeling pretty good that day, so I put him on the spot and asked if he could write a song then and there about our interview. He laughed and graciously obliged. It didn’t sound like a song that had just been written then and there either, but what do you expect from a guy who can help take a Craigslist ad and turn it into something that makes you want to tap your foot?

THE LUCKIEST SIGNS THIS WEEK: SCORPIO, SAGITTARIUS AND CAPRICORN

Horoscope

Week of April 22 to 28, 2018 ARIES

You’ll be feeling generous this week, and you may even save someone from a sticky situation. You’re a good listener; put those skills to use.

TAURUS

If you plan on moving soon, this week will be the right time to start making more concrete plans to that effect.

You’ll eventually find the perfect place to call home — don’t give up.

GEMINI

You won’t mince your words this week, and you won’t beat around the bush when it comes to expressing your disagreement either. Those close to you will respect your opinions, even if they don’t always fully agree.

CANCER

If you want a fulfilling relationship, it would be a good idea for you both to step outside your regular routine.

The thought of moving in together might cross your mind this week, if you don’t already share a home.

LEO

Finally, a bit of action — you need the stimulation. Someone will present you with a challenge to take on, and this will be a boon for both your career and your personal development.

VIRGO

Sometimes, you need to take a step back in order to move forward. This week, focus on finding balance, whether in your finances or your romantic life. You aren’t doing yourself any favours by staying passive.

LIBRA

THERE IS A NEED FOR NEW PHYSICAL THERAPY EQUIPMENT

Time to M Retire Your Flag?

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

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

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

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

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

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

Growing asparagus

By Grant McCarty Contributor

Asparagus, like rhubarb, is another perennial spring vegetable. As the soil begins to warm in the spring, the annual stems will begin to emerge. A typical planting of asparagus can last 20-30 years and many of the well-established ones in our area may be even older. The older plantings have both male and female plants although you do not need to have a male and female to produce stems nowadays.

When planting asparagus, you need to keep in mind soil pH as asparagus does not tolerate acidic soils, lower than a pH of 6.5. You’ll be planting 1-year-old crowns so you want to have an area of your garden that is suitable for it to grow. Asparagus can benefit from a fertilizer application each year of 10-10-10. Try to plant in an area that is weed free as asparagus competes poorly with weeds. If you do need to control weeds, you should not apply salt to the asparagus bed. By applying salt, this may negatively affect the soil nutrients and beneficial soil microbes.

You’ll space asparagus plants 9-18 inches apart with 4-5 feet between rows. Plant at a depth of 6-8 inches.

Harvest will begin in the third year by harvesting large stems that are 5-8 inches of length. You should harvest by hand by snapping the asparagus. This is a better strategy than harvesting with a knife as cutting the stems may open the plant up to diseases and pests than if they were snapped.

A fern will appear during the season. Unlike the rhubarb seed stalk, you should not remove the fern. The feathery fern will help the rhizome grow better and if you remove the fern, it could possibly limit your yield in subsequent years. Leave the fern on until the spring when you can remove it quite easily.

Most of the varieties on the market are males. The reason being they are bred to be more vigorous.

Recommended varieties include Jersey Giant, Jersey Knight, and Jersey Supreme. Mary Washington is another variety that is an heirloom and is quite productive. R.

NFL Draft

Pace must take advantage of Bears’ pole position

By Robert Zeglinski Contributor

He likes to act like a covert agent, but Bears’ general manager Ryan Pace has never hidden his affinity for the draft.

He’s often talked about the importance of building through it and “sustained success.” While this has been a process that hasn’t amounted to many wins yet, the foundation of his organization has firmly been attaining cost-controlled players to develop.

Entering year four of Pace’s tenure, he’s finally built a roster to be proud of thanks to the outlook of promising young players such as Eddie Jackson and Tarik Cohen. Hope, because of what secondyear quarterback Mitchell Trubisky can potentially become under new head coach Matt Nagy. And a chance at relevancy, and so much more: provided Pace puts on the proper finishing touches.

That final spruce up comes with what the open of the 2018 NFL Draft on Thursday. At No. 8 overall, the Bears aren’t in as advantageous of a position as they were last year where they eventually picked second. As Pace espoused on Tuesday, they still have a “draft cloud” of players they like at their slot.

If all goes swimmingly in the top four, such as four quarterbacks going before the Bears’ selection, they’re going to have an opportunity at a franchise player. Even if four quarterbacks aren’t off the board, Chicago has a chance at an impact talent.

The moral of the story is that it’s going to be difficult for Pace to miss on adding one of the last puzzle pieces to his team.

Let’s narrow down that draft cloud of options for the Bears at No. 8 overall.

Tremaine Edmunds LB, Virginia Tech

The “Pace profile” is a player who isn’t a finished product, but can be transcendent when given time to develop. There’s no better example of someone that fits the Bears’ mold than the versatile Edmunds. With apologies to Nick Kwiatkoski, Chicago needs a stud inside linebacker. They need a Swiss Army Knife such as Edmunds that creates matchup issues.

At 19-years-old, Edmunds was one of the most productive linebackers in college football. He’s a dynamic athlete that can cover tight ends and running backs seamlessly. He can roam from sideline to sideline in the blink of an eye.

With patience, a team like the Bears can even rush him off the defensive edge should they so choose. Pace himself said that Edmunds’ pass rush ability is a “feather in his cap.”

The malleability of what such a young player presents for a team like the Bears

Virginia Tech linebacker Tremaine Edmunds checks all the boxes for the Bears at No. 8 in this week’s NFL Draft. still rising, might be too much to pass up.

Edmunds is the perfect fit to combat a high-paced offensive NFL. If the Bears and defensive coordinator Vic Fangio are patient enough to work through Edmunds’ occasional lacking instincts, they could have the next great linebacker in franchise history.

Quenton Nelson OG, Notre Dame

Nelson has been tabbed the ideal for Chicago, because he’s a plug-and-play front line player. One of the most elite offensive line prospects in years, you’ll be hard-pressed to find someone with something bad to say about Nelson. The draft is an inexact science, but if there was ever a “gold jacket guy” meaning a future Hall of Famer, it’s Nelson. That’s because he’s such a technically refined athlete that prides himself on possessing a beyond intimidating mean streak.

The advantage the Bears have in Nelson in comparison to all 31 other NFL teams that would love to draft him, is the presence of his college offensive line coach in Harry Hiestand. If he falls and is selected by Chicago, the amount of obstacles in Nelson’s path to professional success would be limited. He’d have a coach that understands his weaknesses (if there are any), and he’d create a wall with center Cody Whitehair on the interior.

A pick of Nelson is one that puts a smile on Trubisky’s face, and sends a shiver down the collective spine of NFC North defenders.

Marcus Davenport Edge, UTSA

In the last three drafts, the Bears have selected exactly one edge pass rusher: Leonard Floyd in 2016. They’ve instead relied on ailing veterans such as Pernell McPhee, Lamarr Houston, and Willie Young. If their ascending defense is going to take the next step, they can’t neglect the most important position any longer.

That’s where Davenport comes in, as he’s another “Pace profile” player.

Coming from a small school, Davenport has to adjust to a major jump in competition. But the prospects of what he offered as a complete talent that’s always around the ball, knows how to violently set the edge in the run game, and of whom can make up a superb partnership with Floyd, is appealing. The idea of him being a reach at No. 8 washes away quickly.

It’ll take time for Davenport to come into his own. With a persistent program that refines his pass rushing and gets him used to the rigors of offensive maulers, he could be a terrorizing toy for Fangio and company.

Mike McGlinchey OT, Notre Dame

The message the Bears have reverberated throughout the 2018 off-season is putting Trubisky in a position to succeed. That’s why they hired Nagy as head coach. That’s why they went out and signed Allen Robinson. That’s why, with Hiestand as their guiding light, they could draft McGlinchey to be their right tackle.

Taking McGlinchey in the top 10 means the Bears have completed their mission of locking in their offensive core for the near future. He’s the top tackle in this draft and has been since 2017 preseason proceedings. He’d be another reach, while keeping in mind that he could similarly make your offensive line elite. The No. 1 goal with this investment is keeping Trubisky upright for a sustained period.

The incumbent Bobby Massie isn’t going to be a starter for Chicago when or if they become a contender. The sooner they take someone like McGlinchey to be their right book end, the better.

Final pick: Edmunds.

At No. 8, with a crowded cloud of choices, you’re better suited to take the player with risk that could pan out down the line: provided you trust your coaches to develop him. The Bears assuredly more than trust Fangio.

Chicago needs an inside linebacker of the future. They need a guy that can tilt the field once he gets seasoning. For as much as the Bears have focused on the offense to start 2018, their defense requires only a little more tinkering to be a top tier unit.

Edmunds is their man from that perspective. He’s that player who excels no matter what offenses roll out.

Coordinators around the league will lose sleep at attempting to account for his athleticism and ability. He’s the player to carry on the Bears’ hallowed linebacking tradition, and take their defense to exceptional heights. R. Find Robert on Twitter: @RobertZeglinski.

IceHogs threaten first round sweep

By Jim Hagerty Contributor

ROCKFORD — The Rockford IceHogs now have even more control of their own destiny in the 2018 Calder Cup Playoffs than they had after beating the Chicago Wolves in Rosemont to open the postseason.

In Game 2 Sunday, Rockford used three unanswered goals to cruise to a 5-2 win and a commanding 2-0 lead in the best-of-five playoff series.

Those goals came from Matthew Highmore, Chris DiDomenico and Lance Bouma, a series of scoring that broke a 2-2 deadlock in the second period.

Highmore’s strike little more than three minutes in was a needed momentum shifter for Rockford, as the Wolves threatened to break the tie with a host of quality scoring chances.

“They had a real good push, especially at the beginning of the game,” Rockford coach Jeremy Colliton said. “It made it uncomfortable for us. And I thought we

could have managed the puck a little better and been a little sharper defensively. But we found a way to win. We got some key goals at key times.”

The Wolves struck first in what unfolded as a chippy, fast-paced affair from the opening faceoff. The goal came at 9:12 of the first period when Wade Megan slammed home a Zac Leslie rebound.

William Pelletier evened the score four minutes later grabbing a pass from Carl Dahlstrom in the high slot and lacking it past Oscar Dansk.

Luke Johnson put Rockford up 2-1 with just under a minute left in the period, sending the BMO Harris Bank Center crowd of 5,418 to its feet. The excitement was deflated just before intermission, however.

With three-tenths of a second on the clock, Leslie came flying in on the Rockford net just as T.J. Tynan rifled a last-second shot on Collin Delia. The rebound came right to him, and Leslie buried it into the empty cage to make it 2-2.

The second period belonged to Rockford.

DiDomenico doubled Rockford’s advantage 13 minutes after Highmore’s game-winner, finishing off a tic-tac-toe passing play from Adam Clendening and Victor Ejdsell.

Clendening and Ejdsell each notched two points, and Clendening leads the IceHogs with a goal and three assists in two playoff games this year.

“We’re playing hard,” Colliton said. “(Chicago) has a skilled group, and they’re getting their chances. Delia’s made some big saves for us, and we feel that when we play 5-on-5 as much as we can, we match up pretty well.”

Delia stopped 28 shots to remain perfect in the postseason while Dansk turned aside 24 for Chicago.

The series now shifts back to the Allstate Arena in Rosemont Thursday for Game 3.

Puck drops at 7 p.m. Thursday. A win would give Rockford its first playoff sweep since the ‘Hogs did away with the Texas Stars in the first round of the 2016 Calder Cup Playoffs.

“We obviously want to close out as fast as we can,” defenseman Adam Clendening said. “But, from experience, it’s the hardest game to finish (the sweep). They’re obviously a desperate team and nobody wants to be swept out. So, it’s going to be important for us to at least weather the early storm and try to keep the game as close to our style and our pace as we can.”

And with the range of skills in the Rockford locker room, that style can be anything the diverse IceHogs club needs it to be.

“We can play multiple styles,” Clendening added. “If teams want to play a grind-itout, chip-and-chase kind of style, we have the tools to do it. And if you want to play the skill game—keep the puck and possession game, we can play that, too. Personally, I like to play the keep the puck kind of style, and right now, we are kind of dictating it.”

Next home game

If necessary, the IceHogs will host Game 4 Sunday, April 29. R.
