Aldermen hear proposal for domestic violence center By Jim Hagerty Contributor

ROCKFORD — The director of the city office aimed at stopping domestic violence and human trafficking says expansion is necessary to properly deal with what is quickly becoming a deadly issue. Jennifer Cacciapaglia, along with Rockford Police Lt. Kurt Whisenand, told aldermen Monday that she’s working on plans to open the Family Justice Center to help overhaul how the court and law enforcement systems serve domestic violence victims. “When we talk about the response of the criminal justice system and the medical community, specifically with the criminal justice system, quite frankly it is not set up to support survivors of domestic violence, human trafficking and sexual assault,” Cacciapaglia said. “The criminal justice system relies on a victim who is cooperative, anxious to testify in court, and in demand of justice. The system is just not set up in those areas to support these survivors.” The proposed Family Center would house social services and dedicated law enforcement personnel in the same place. It would also be a safe haven in times of crisis. For now, Cacciapaglia is looking into a host of grants, about $450,000 worth, to get the project off the ground. If the funds are not awarded, the office would seek funding from other sources. Cacciapaglia added

that the time to reign in as much support as possible is now. There have already been six domestic-violence related homicides in Winnebago County this year and there’s every indication that number could easily rise as 34 percent of violent crimes reported in Rockford during 2018 involved domestic violence, up from 23 percent in 2015. “What we are missing in our community is a holistic, organized SANE response, so a Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner response at all three hospitals that is consistent,” Cacciapaglia added. Cacciapaglia said what is also missing are services to help survivors from the moment they leave or attempt to leave an abusive situation throughout the process of restoration. Filling that gap will begin with better equipped first responders. The current system is reactive in nature, one where police do the majority of their work after a crime has occurred. “Our law enforcement is expected to do too much too late in these situations,” Cacciapaglia said. “By the time it gets to law enforcement, we have missed so many opportunities to intervene in these crimes to try to keep them from happening.” Whisenand said the key is engaging youth–namely boys–before patterns take hold. A growing number of boys witness abuse of all kinds on a daily basis, making them desensitized to it and more likely

to become offenders themselves. That is why the Rockford Police Department is the main partner with Cacciapaglia’s Office of Domestic Violence and Human Trafficking. How that partnership will play out is still in the works, however. “We just got the raw data,” Whisenand said. “We are still in the research phase. (We are) identifying high-risk youth who have a high risk of committing violent crimes and try to intervene before they become offenders.” Intervention is as multi-pronged as the crimes police aim to prevent. Whisenand said programs will include training in life skills and conflict resolution–anything that can teach young people to be non-violent adults. The department is also analyzing trends in human trafficking, numbers that will be used in a multi-agency, multi-jurisdictional effort to conduct intelligence-based investigations. Besides law enforcement, the Office of Domestic Violence and Human Trafficking is partnering with Winnebago County, Rockford Rescue Mission, Rockford Public School District 205, media, Illinois Coalition Against Domestic Violence and the 17th Judicial Family Violence Council, among other organizations. A site for the Family Justice Center has not been determined. A decision on the grant will be reached this fall. R.

Schnucks to close pair of stores By Jim Hagerty Contributor

ROCKFORD –Schnucks will close two of its Rockford stores this July, the company announced Friday. The St. Louis-based chain will permanently close markets at 2601 N. Mulford Road and 3150 N. Rockton Ave., at 6 p.m., Sunday, July 8. The 97 employees at the Rockton Avenue store and the 75 on Mulford will be offered positions at the same rate of pay at other Rockford Schnucks locations. Pharmacy prescription records from the Mulford store will transfer to the Schnucks at 6410 E. State St., while those at Rockton will transfer to Walgreens, 3325 N. Main St. “Despite our efforts, we simply saw no path to profitability for these two stores,” Schnucks Chief Operating Officer Dave Peacock said. “This was a difficult decision, but one that was necessary in order for us to continue to operate a strong company for

our more than 13,000 teammates.” Peacock said sales are declining at both locations and the facilities have become too costly to operate. With six other area stores, Peacock added that Schnucks is committed to Rockford.

“Transferring our teammates to neighboring stores will mean a higher level of service for our customers, and a sharper focus on those stores by our company,” he said. “That will allow us to remain competitive in the Rockford market.”

Schnucks acquired the 65,000-squarefoot Rockton location in a 1998 acquisition of Logli. The store originally opened in 1958. The 72,000-square-foot Mulford location was acquired in a 2011 Hilander acquisition and originally opened in 1982. R.

ROCKFORD — A man accused of fatally shooting three men aboard a Rockford, Illinois party bus has pleaded not guilty to murder charges. In addition to murder, Raheem D. King is charged with armed robbery; aggravated unlawful restraint and aggravated vehicular hijacking in connection with the shooting deaths of 22-year-old Daijon Sistrunk, 24-year-old Martavies Blake, and 27-year-old Sean Anderson, all of Rockford.

King’s girlfriend, 21-year-old Lakeacia D. Kizart, and her mother, 42-year-old Teresa M. Kizart, are accused of helping him to evade capture. Both pleaded not guilty Tuesday to the charges. Both women remain jailed on $1 million bond. King is being held without bond. According to police, King boarded the bus with an assault-style rifle and shot the three men. Authorities have yet to reveal a motive for the shootings. –Associated Press

Health department warns over synthetic cannabinoid death threat By Guy Stephens WNIJ News

ROCKFORD — The Winnebago County Health Department is warning people to avoid all synthetic cannabinoids after it identified four cases of severe bleeding connected to their use in the county. Many more have been reported across the state. The Health Department said there are many different chemicals, including one used in rat poison, in the various synthetics

available. The department’s Director of Health Protection, Todd Kisner, said the effects can be unpredictable and dangerous, and people shouldn’t wait to act. “If you are experiencing some type of excessive bleeding and stuff,” he said, “[you] should go immediately to the ER if [you] can. If not, call 911.” Kisner said the Illinois health community hasn’t yet discovered which cannabinoid is responsible for the outbreak.

“So, right now,” he said, “none of it is safe, in the sense of what we’re experiencing now. So if you have it – stop [using it].” Treatment can include taking large doses – up to thirty pills a day – of Vitamin K for six months. The department says it is working with its healthcare partners in the community to identify and contact people affected by cannabinoid use. Kisner said it’s important that healthcare providers, paramedics and

emergency room personnel know whether a person has been using the substances so they can provide appropriate treatment. The Illinois Department of Public Health began listing cases statewide on its website in early March. As of April 25, 155 people in 13 Illinois counties had been reported with severe bleeding associated with synthetic cannabinoids. That includes four deaths.

Circuit Court funding battle settled By Guy Stephens WNIJ News

ROCKFORD — Winnebago County has reached a settlement over funding with the 17th District Circuit Court. Winnebago County Board Chairman Frank Haney and Chief Judge Eugene Doherty announced the settlement in a news release last week, calling it “acceptable” to both sides. The Circuit’s former Chief Judge Joseph

McGraw sued the county in 2017 after its board cut the court’s budget to help reduce a multi-million dollar deficit. Doherty said the dispute wasn’t just about money. “When there is a mandated service that court must provide and the county doesn’t provide the funding to enable us to do it,” he said, “we have to stand up for the independence of the court and the necessity of complying with all of our statutory and

constitutional obligations.” Doherty said the Court has been able to find some economies that would not jeopardize its mission. The board also last month approved adding $386,000 back into the budgets for the circuit court, public defender, court services and juvenile detention. Doherty said he hopes the experience will lead to a more constructive relationship. “The board needs to be able to trust

that when we give a number and say ‘this is absolutely what we need,’ that they can trust us, that that’s correct,” he said, “and that, having identified that, that we can trust them to fund that need.” Doherty and Haney stated in the release that they are “committed to closely working with each other” to address any future budget issues. No details of the settlement have been released.

Schools

Diocese adds St. Edward to consolidation plan ROCKFORD — The Catholic Diocese of Rockford on Monday added St. Edward School to its upcoming 2019-20 school consolidation plan that includes a yet-tobe-named multi-parish school. A fourth school, St. Edward School, 3020 11th St., is now part of the collaborative effort that includes Cathedral of St. Peter, St. Bernadette and St. James Schools. Diocese spokesmen say the addition further enhances the potential of the future school. Four additional parishes have also joined the effort including St. Anthony, St. Patrick, St. Stanislaus and SS. Peter & Paul. The addition of these parishes brings the total collaboration to eight parish communities, which the dioceses says will allow the new school a level of spiritual and financial

support necessary to provide an unmatched educational experience for students. St. James will be the location of the new school. That decision was based on a facility assessment conducted by the Joint Schools Committee, which includes representatives from all participating schools. While the four schools will continue to operate independently for another year, pre-kindergarten and kindergarten programs from Cathedral of St. Peter, St. Bernadette and St. James Schools will combine at St. James for the 2018-19 school year. Grades 1-8 will combine in fall 2019. Families enrolling in pre-kindergarten and kindergarten from St. Edward School will have the option to stay at St. Edward or move to St. James for 2018-19.

“There is exciting momentum for Catholic education in the Rockford region,” Diocese Superintendent Michael Kagan said. “Now with four schools and a total of eight parishes combining their resources, we have even greater possibilities for shaping a new, modern and state-of-the-art Catholic faith-based educational experience for our students. We’re excited to bring together our youngest students next year and begin forming a new school family.” With a location identified, the Joint Schools Committee will focus attention on the name, curriculum, finances, personnel, and other important factors relevant to the new school. The committee will continue to work with parents, administrators and the Diocese to create new collaborations

and honor current ones for the upcoming school year. “We are thrilled with the addition of St. Edward School and the other four parish communities to our effort as well as having a location identified for 2019-20,” said Ed Geeser, chair of the Joint Schools Committee. “Soon we’ll be able to share more details around our programs and start building a new and diverse school family and tradition.” Established in 1908, the Diocese of Rockford is comprised of 105 parishes in Boone, Carroll, DeKalb, JoDaviess, Kane, Lee, McHenry, Ogle, Stephenson, Whiteside and Winnebago Counties in Northern Illinois serving a Catholic population of more than 300,000.

When Travis Reinking’s semi-automatic rifle was confiscated after his attempt to enter the White House last year, he simply moved from Illinois to nearby Tennessee where signs of mental illness are no bar to gun ownership. How and when Reinking’s father returned the AR-15-style weapon and other firearms to his 29-year-old son, accused of shooting dead four people and wounding four at a Waffle House restaurant in Nashville, Tennessee remain unclear. Confusing as well are the myriad of U.S. state gun laws that can make it difficult to stop crimes like Sunday’s mass shooting. The U.S. federal system leaves it up to states to set most gun laws. Less than half of U.S. states require background checks before private sales, and only a small number require “universal checks” for all purchases, including at gun shows. Virginia has improved mental health reporting after a 2007 college campus massacre but has no laws requiring firearms to be registered. Alaska, with the highest state rate of gun deaths per capita, does not allow firearms to be registered. Most states let residents carry firearms in public, and all states permit the carrying of concealed weapons in some form. The assault on Sunday is the latest mass killing to stoke a fierce debate that pits gun control proponents against gun rights advocates who defend constitutional rights to own guns. The debate has sharpened since the Feb. 14 shooting at a Parkland, Florida, high school. That massacre prompted an upsurge of teenage gun control activism, including a nationwide student walkout on April 20, two days before the Nashville shooting. The discussion has aired demands for national laws that would provide uniformity, including regulations on the transport of guns from state to state, as with the Reinking case. “We need to have national laws that protect against these over-the-border kinds of transfers,” said Illinois state Representative Kathleen Willis, a Democrat who is sponsoring “red flag” legislation to let family members request the seizure of firearms from relatives facing mental health problems. The variety of ways that gun laws address mental illness has prompted concern. A study by Mother Jones magazine showed that in 62 mass shootings between 1982 and 2012, 38 of the shooters displayed signs of mental health problems before the killings.

Metro Davidson County Police inspect the scene of a fatal shooting at a Waffle House restaurant near Nashville, April 22. Photo, Harrison McClary/Reuters Reinking himself has a troubled past. He believed that pop singer Taylor Swift was stalking him and threatened to kill himself, according to police records. The National Rifle Association, the country’s most powerful gun-rights lobbying organization, says it supports legislation to ensure records of those judged mentally incompetent or “involuntarily committed to mental institutions” be made available for use in firearms transfer background checks. “The NRA will support any reasonable step to fix America’s broken mental health system without intruding on the constitutional rights of Americans,” the group says on its website. That support stops short of legislation like Willis’ red flag bill with its “insinuation that gun ownership makes you a danger to yourself or others,” the group said last month. Illinois is unusual in giving law enforcement the right to revoke a gun license and take away guns from persons if their mental health appears to pose a danger. In Tennessee, like most states, police can only seize guns if a person is involuntarily committed to a mental health facility and judged a danger. Even then, the owner can keep their firearms. In Reinking’s case, Illinois state police revoked his gun license, and his firearms

were transferred to his father after U.S. Secret Service agents arrested him last year for being in a restricted area near the White House. Authorities have not disclosed whether his father gave him back his guns in Illinois, where it would likely be a crime, or in Tennessee, where it would not. The U.S. Congress has not passed any substantive national gun laws since the 2012 Sandy Hook massacre, due in large part to opposition from gun-rights groups. Yet some gun-control advocates see steady movement towards uniform gun laws through actions at the state level. “Our movement is chipping away and convincing lawmakers that they should be voting for public safety,” said Jonas Oransky deputy legal director of gun control group Everytown for Gun Safety. For example, after the Waffle House shooting, Tennessee lawmakers drafted legislation to make it illegal to buy or possess a gun if a person had been subject to “suspension, revocation or confiscation” in another state. For Illinois lawmaker Willis, it is too little too late. “All the red flags were there. They followed all the gun laws in Illinois,” she said. “Until we have national laws to restrict this, it’s not going to stop.”

State Bicentennial

The Great Migration brought more than 500,000 blacks to Illinois By Chuck Sweeny

Rockford Register Star

Victory Bell can still remember the night when he boarded the Illinois Central Railroad’s City of New Orleans in Durant, Mississippi, bound for Chicago, then changing trains and ending up in Rockford. It was 1945, at the height of the Jim Crow apartheid in Dixie that purposely kept blacks poor with few rights. Bell, his mother and siblings were headed north to join his father, who had already moved north to get a factory job. “We had been sharecroppers,” the 83-year old Bell remembers working near Durant, 60 miles north of Jackson. The family had eked out a living, but opportunities for advancement just were not there for black folks. “I remember it was in the middle of the night when we boarded the train. We had to sit in the black section. When we got to Illinois, the conductor said we could sit anywhere we liked on the train,” Bell said, “and we no longer had to say ‘sir ‘or ‘ma’am’ to white people, which was new to us.” His uncle and father had come to Rockford in 1943 and 1944 to get jobs that paid better than sharecropping. “The machine tool businesses were very aggressive in hiring at that time, and people were able to come to Illinois and get jobs at various machine companies and make a decent salary,” Bell said. Illinois’ manufacturing industries were working around the clock to turn out planes, tanks, guns and bullets for the

armed forces during World War II. The state’s manufacturers continued to boom after the war. Bell is a living embodiment of The Great Migration, the movement from 1916 to 1970 of 6 million to 7 million black Americans from the states of the old Confederacy to the North. More than 500,000 came to Illinois. They were fleeing legal oppression. They were looking for better lives for their families, and for the rights to vote, to participate in their government, to serve on juries — in other words, to exercise all their rights as U.S. citizens.

Yes, these freedoms had been won in the Civil War, but when Reconstruction ended in 1877 and the U.S. Army withdrew from its occupation of the former rebel states, white Democrats reasserted their total control and suppression of the “freedmen,” as slaves were called after the war. From 1900 through the 1920s, whites erected monuments throughout the South in honor of rebel leaders to demonstrate in granite and metal who was back in charge. The Great Migration’s beginnings also coincided with World War I, when immigration from Europe slowed to a trickle and

factories were short of workers. Migration to the North slowed during the Great Depression of the 1930s but picked up again during World War II and in post-war years when highways were better and cars were relatively cheap. Although prejudice was not absent in northern Illinois, it wasn’t codified into state laws that were sometimes enforced by night riders in hoods carrying torches. “When I came to Rockford I was 7 or 8 years old. I started school that same year and I had a great homeroom teacher, Mrs. Burns,” Bell said. Bell had never been to an integrated school before because they did not exist under the mandated segregation of Mississippi. “Mrs. Burns was the kindest person and made sure I was comfortable in the school. She never showed prejudice. She had a clear understanding of how to help all the kids learn.” Bell learned well. He got a job as a janitor with the Illinois Bell Telephone Co. and advanced to lineman, installer and then supervisor. Active in Democratic Party politics, Bell became Rockford’s first black alderman in 1971, a post he held for more than 30 years before he retired. “We knew there was a different standard for blacks here, but Illinois was not as openly prejudiced. Mississippi was just a terrible, terrible place to be in if you were black,” Bell said. “We were kept out of school until November to pick cotton.” Looking back, Bell said that boarding that train so many years ago “was the best thing we could have ever done.” The weekly Illinois Bicentennial series is brought to you by the Illinois Associated Press Media Editors and Illinois Press Association.

The historical importance of Memorial Day By Scott Lewandowski Guest Contributor

I’m sure that most Americans are aware that the last Monday of May is Memorial Day and that it is a national holiday, a day to honor Veterans that gave their life defending our county and the freedoms that we all enjoy. Memorial Day has a long history in this country and several communities claim to be the originators of the holiday. Springtime tribute began shortly after the end of the American Civil War all across America with Columbus, Mississippi claiming to be the first. There, on April 25, 1866, a group of women visited a cemetery to decorate the graves of Confederate soldiers who had fallen in battle at Shiloh. These women noticed that nearby graves of Union soldiers were neglected because they were the enemy so the women placed some of their flowers on those graves, as well. Many other cities claim to have had ceremony’s honoring the war dead

including Macon and Columbus, Georgia, as well as Richmond, Virginia. A stone in a downstate Carbondale cemetery carries the statement that the first Decoration Day ceremony took place there on April 29, 1866. Approximately 25 places have been named in connection with the origin of Memorial Day, many of them in the South where most of the war dead were buried. An official decree came in 1966 when Congress and President Lyndon Johnson declared Waterloo, New York the “birthplace” of Memorial Day. There, a ceremony on May 5, 1866, honored local veterans who had fought in the Civil War. What we now know as Memorial Day was officially proclaimed 150 years ago by General John Logan with his General Order 11 which declared May 30 as Decoration Day, a day designated for the purpose of strewing with flowers or otherwise decorating the graves of comrades who died in defense of their country. My research indicates that the first

observance of Decoration Day in Rockford was held May 30, 1870, when members of the Grand Army of the Republic along with the mayor, police and fire departments and the West Rockford School band gathered at State and Main Streets and formed a line of march which proceeded to the Westside Cemetery (Greenwood) where they held a ceremony and placed flowers on all the veterans graves. After, they once again marched back to State and Main Streets, crossed the bridge where they were joined by the East Rockford School teachers and pupils, then preceded to the Eastside Cemetery (Cedar Bluff) and held another ceremony to honor the Veterans buried there. Traditional observance of Memorial Day has diminished over the years. Many Americans have forgotten that Memorial Day is a day of remembering the men and women who died while serving our country. Veterans Memorial Hall and Museum wishes to honor the true meaning of Memorial Day with several events including, a Parade from 7th Street

to Beattie Park, beginning at 9 a.m., followed by a ceremony on the east side of Veterans Memorial Hall and Museum, and an annual Navy Club Ship # 1’s Sinking of the Ship ceremony, behind the former Rockford Public Library building, immediately following the Memorial Day Ceremony. VMH will end Memorial Day with a special presentation of the 1st Brigade Band playing antique Civil War era instruments and a special presentation from Joe Wiegand, the world’s premiere Theodore Roosevelt impersonator, from 5-7 p.m. in the Veterans Memorial Hall auditorium. R. Scott Lewandowski is the director of Veterans Memorial Hall and Museum, whose mission is to honor the Veterans of Winnebago County.

Comey: Trump’s attacks on the FBI make US less safe By Eric Tucker & Chad Day Associated Press

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump’s political attacks on the FBI make America less safe because they undermine public confidence that the bureau is an “honest, competent and independent” institution, fired director James Comey told The Associated Press on Tuesday. In a telephone interview, Comey also said it was logical that special counsel Robert Mueller would seek to interview Trump as part of his investigation into Russian meddling in the 2016 presidential election. Comey ruled out seeking elected office and said that, as a leader, he took responsibility for some of the turmoil that has surrounded the FBI in recent months. Comey said it was clear that the president’s blistering attacks on the FBI, including Trump’s calls for scrutiny of his political opponents and his suggestion that Comey should be jailed, affect public safety in “hundreds and thousands of ways” — especially if crime victims no longer believe that an agent knocking on their door will help them or that an agent testifying before a jury can be believed. “To the extent there’s been a marginal decrease in their credibility at that doorway, in that courtroom and in thousands of other ways, their effectiveness is hit. So

it’s hard,” Comey said. “You’re not going to be able to see it, but logic tells me that it’s there, which is why it’s so important that we knock it off as a political culture.” Trump fired Comey last May, an act now under investigation by Mueller for possible obstruction of justice. The White House initially said Trump had fired him over his handling of the Hillary Clinton email case, but the president later said he was thinking of “this Russia thing” when he made the move. Comey is now promoting his new book, “A Higher Loyalty,” and has given a series of television interviews in which he has described his interactions with the president and characterized him as morally unfit for office. But his departure from the bureau has also been followed by a cascade of negative headlines that seem to have given ammunition to critics of the FBI, including Trump. For one thing, Comey is involved in an unusually public disagreement with his former deputy director, Andrew McCabe, over the authorization of a news media disclosure. McCabe was fired in March amid a scathing report from the Justice Department’s inspector general that concluded that he had misled internal affairs investigators. In addition, the watchdog office is

examining how Comey wrote and stored memos that documented his conversations with Trump. He provided one of the memos to a friend and told him to disclose the substance of it to the media in hopes of getting a special counsel appointed. That memo was unclassified, but Trump has repeatedly criticized Comey as a “leaker” for the move. The FBI has also been besieged by allegations of political bias following anti-Trump text messages sent and received by two senior FBI officials who were, for a time, working on Mueller’s investigation. On Tuesday, Comey said the text exchanges reflected “extremely poor judgment” on the part of the officials. “The question I have to answer is: ‘Should I have done more to communicate to — especially to the people working on the most sensitive matters — a standard of behavior?’ And that’s a fair question. Maybe I should have,” Comey said. “And should I have given a speech about — not just reflect a certain way of acting — but given a speech, ‘This is the way we have to act.’ So that’s totally fair, and I am responsible, at least in part, for the conduct of the people who worked for me.” Comey declined to discuss details of Mueller’s investigation, but he praised Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein,

who wrote a memo that was used to justify Comey’s abrupt firing. “I think he’s conducted himself honorably since my firing, especially in regard to protecting the special counsel, the department and the rule of law,” Comey said. He also praised his own replacement, FBI Director Christopher Wray, calling him a “person of integrity.” “This is a person of deep values,” he said. “I would rather be FBI director, but if I can’t be, I would want it to be someone like Chris.” Comey declined to say what questions he’d pose to Trump if he were Mueller, but he said it makes sense for Mueller to seek to question the president. “It doesn’t surprise me, and just as we’ve done in many investigations, you want to develop a complete understanding of the facts and then check them with the subject and see what they say about it,” he said. Comey said he is committed to teaching and lecturing about leadership and ethics. He said he is not interested in running for office or returning to a large law firm. “I don’t see myself ever returning to government,” Comey said. “Certainly I never see myself running for office, and I can’t imagine an appointed return. “That’s why,” he joked, “I’m not wearing ties anymore.”

RRI catches up with Jimmy Johnson By Todd Houston

Contributor

ack in the 1970s and ‘80s, making a recording of your band’s music wasn’t quite as easy as it is today. Sure, there were companies that made four- and eight-track tape recorders that you could buy and attempt to do it yourself, but these machines were expensive and cumbersome. During the ‘80s we started seeing a number of recording studios pop up in and around town that offered professional analog recording at a fair price. Heck, most of the time the engineer would even offer up helpful suggestions and produce the music. Sometime during the later part of the ‘90s, we saw home recording reach a point where anyone with a Mac or PC could produce decent sounding recordings right in the comfort of their own bedroom. It was that simple. All you needed was an interface (something to plug into) and the right software and away you went, thus leaving the professional studios and experienced sound engineers in the dust. (Or did it?) Today, Rockford Rocked Interviews catch up with former Noise Chamber Recording Studio owner Jimmy Johnson for a quick chat about the ins and outs of music recording and the ups and downs of the industry. ••• RRI: Good morning, Jimmy. What have you been up to? JJ: I own and operate Forest City Service, a heating and air conditioning company that my Dad started in 1974. I’ve also been playing in a local band called Can’t Touch This for the last eight years. We are currently taking a break and may play again, but we’re not sure. RRI: For those who don’t know, you owned and ran a very successful recording studio in Loves Park for well over a decade. Tell us why you wanted to go into that direction. JJ: First off, I’d like to thank every band that recorded at the Noise Chamber—it was a great run from 1986 to 2006! Lots of great memories, and a lot of friendships with great people. Back in 1980 thru 1985, I was in a band called Agent, and I always recorded practices and shows and played with sounds. So when Agent called it quits, I had to

start up a studio. The studio was first called the Underground Noise Chamber in 1986, and was first in the back room of Just Jamin’ (a local music store on North 2nd Street). At that time I was just doing it part-time. In 1991 [we] changed the name to The Noise Chamber [and] I decided to take over the whole space, complete remodel, and do it full time. I remember the first album we did after the remodel was for the band Ript. After that, we did an album for local band Essie Ecks and that one seemed to open the floodgates! RRI: Tell us more about the band Agent that you were with. It’s strange now to think of a rock band playing a club on a Tuesday night like all you guys did. In your opinion how has the local music scene changed if at all? JJ: It’s completely different now. Agent, back in 1984, started to see the crowds start to shrink. That’s pretty much why we shut it down. Today, you’re lucky to find live music on Fridays and Saturdays. RRI: What type of recording equipment were you using in the studio early on? I started out with a Fostex Model 80 8-Track Recorder. I remember bringing it home and watching the lights in the dark forever—it was so cool!

When I moved to N. 2nd Street in 1986, I upgraded to a Fostex B16. It was a 16-track half-tape. The Board was an Allen & Heath 24-track. Lots of tape splicing and punch-ins were really tricky. In 1991, when we took over Just Jamin’s space, I upgraded to a Tascam 16-track 1-inch and a 32-track Sound Tracs board (partially automated) and a bunch of new mics and other gear. About 1994, I upgraded to 3 – 8 Track Fostex ADATS, and a 4-track hard drive recorder. The hard drive recorder allowed us to edit tracks without splicing tape. After seeing how cool it was to digitally edit, I had to go to an editing and recording product called Protools. We started with a starter version, still synced to the ADATS, then went to all ProTools. RRI: Some would argue that this new age of digital recording left the music feeling cold and brittle and took away a lot of the human aspects and nuances that made analog recordings sound rich and warm. New technology allowed you to “auto-tune” vocals and cut and paste whole sections of songs together, etc. I’m sure there are pros and cons to both. Thoughts? JJ: For me, the pros far outweigh the cons. Being able to edit anything and

cut and paste was incredible! As far as the cold sound, I found if you use good preamps and tube processing you can bring back that tape sound. RRI: During your time at the studio I’m sure you came across a lot of talent. Was there anyone in particular that unexpectedly blew you away? JJ: That’s a no-brainer: Robin Zander, Rick Nielsen, Bun E Carlos and Tom Petersson! RRI: Over time you started to develop a reputation as being one of the best recording engineers in the Chicago and Rockford area. Rumor has it that you worked on the Cheap Trick album “RockFord” and even produced a couple tracks. JJ: I did a lot of recording with Cheap Trick. The first time was in 1993 doing pre-production for their “Woke Up With a Monster” record on Warner Brothers with Ted Templeman producing. That was crazy! They pulled up in a Semi and there was equipment everywhere. I think they were there for 2-3 weeks and scattered 3-4 days stints over the next four months. One or two of the tracks we did ended up on the final CD. Then in 1995, they recorded a Pepsi Commercial that was first aired on the Super Bowl in 1996. Next up was pre-production for their next CD on Red Ant Records with Tom Werman producing. He signed them to Epic Records in the early ‘70s and Produced their second, third and fifth records. He came to the Noise Chamber for a week or so. RRI: A lot of musicians are going back to the old school way of recording and mixing. Have you ever thought about coming out of retirement and building another studio? JJ: I would never build a studio but I might get back into producing. RRI: Last thing. I’m going to say a word and you answer with the first thing that comes to mind. Vic and Jim’s tavern in Loves Park. JJ: Break time during recording sessions. RRI: Gretsch drums. JJ: The best! I still play on the same set I bought in 1979. RRI: Just Jammin’ Music store. JJ: Frank and Lynn Calvagna owned that store and it was very convenient being right next to the Noise Chamber! R.

Culture

The Man of Steel at 80 By Brad Ricca

The Conversation

Superman – the first, most famous American superhero – turns 80 this year. The comics, toys, costumes and billion-dollar Hollywood blockbusters can all trace their ancestry to the first issue of “Action Comics,” which hit newsstands in April 1938. Most casual comic book fans can recite the character’s fictional origin story: As the planet Krypton approaches destruction, Jor-El and his wife, Lara, put their infant son, Kal-El, into a spaceship to save him. He rockets to Earth and is taken in by the kindly Kents. As he grows up, Kal-El – now known as Clark – develops strange powers, and he vows to use them for good. But the story of the real-life origins of Superman – a character created out of friendship, persistence and personal tragedy – is just as dramatic.

From villain to hero

When I was a kid growing up in Cleveland, my dad would regale my brother and me with stories of Superman’s local origins: The two men who had concocted the comic book hero had grown up in the area. As I became older, I realized I wanted to understand not only how, but why Superman was created. A 10-year research project ensued, and it culminated in my

book “Super Boys.” In the mid-1930s, Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster were two nerds with glasses who attended Glenville High School in Cleveland, Ohio. They worked on the school newspaper, wrote stories, drew cartoons, and dreamed of being famous. Jerry was the writer; Joe was the artist. When they finally turned to making comics, a publisher named Major Malcolm Wheeler-Nicholson gave them their first break, commissioning them to create spy and adventure comics in his magazines “New Fun” and “Detective Comics.” But Jerry and Joe had been working on something else: a story about a “Superman” – a villain with special mental powers – that Jerry had stolen from a different magazine. They self-published it in a pamphlet titled “Science Fiction.” While “Science Fiction” only lasted for five issues, they liked the name of the character and continued to work on it. Before long, their new Superman was a good guy. Joe dressed him in a cape and trunks like those of the era’s popular bodybuilders, modeled the character’s speedy running abilities after Olympic sprinter Jesse Owens, and gave him the bouncy spit-curl of Johnny Weissmuller, the actor who played Tarzan. It was a mishmash of 1930s pop culture in gladiator boots. When they were finally ready, they started pitching Superman to every newspaper

syndicate and publisher they could find. All of them rejected it, some of them several times. This continued for several years, but the duo never gave up. When Superman finally saw print, it was through a process that is still not wholly clear. But the general consensus is that a publisher named Harry Donenfeld, who had acquired the major’s company, National Allied Publications (the predecessor to DC Comics), bought the first Superman story – and all the rights therein – for $130.

Was Jerry trying to create a Superdad?

The world was introduced to Superman in “Action Comics” No. 1, on April 18, 1938, with the Man of Steel appearing on the cover smashing a Hudson roadster. The inaugural issue cost 10 cents; in 2014, a copy in good condition sold for $3.2 million dollars. When the comic became a runaway hit, Jerry and Joe regretted selling their rights to the character; they ended up leaving millions on the table. Though they worked on Superman comics for the next 10 years, they would never own the character they created, and for the rest of their lives repeatedly filed lawsuits in an effort to get him back. But there is another more personal piece to the puzzle of Superman’s origins. On June 2, 1932, Jerry’s father, Michel,

was about to close his secondhand clothing store in Cleveland when some men walked in. Michel caught them trying to steal a suit, and ended up dying on the spot – not in a hail of gunfire, but from a heart attack. Jerry was 17. Some believe Jerry may have created Superman as a fantasy version of his own father – as someone who could instantly transform from a mild-mannered man into a hero capable of easily overpowering petty thieves. Indeed, some of the early Superman stories feature Jor-El out of breath (as Michel often was from heart disease) and show criminals who faint dead when confronted by Superman. As many victims of childhood trauma often do, Jerry may have used Superman to re-enact his father’s tragic death over and over in an attempt to somehow fix it. In Superman’s never-ending battle of good versus evil, this same story is repeated again and again on the page, in cartoons and in movies. It’s seen in kids who pretend to be Superman, tucking towels in at their neck and playing out battles in their backyards. Why is Superman’s 80th birthday important? It isn’t just about celebrating a “funny book” about a guy who has heat vision and can fly. It’s about using fantasy to make sense of the world, plumbing personal tragedy to tell a story, and using art to envision a more just and safe society.

Tube Talk

Counting up the Daytime Drama Emmy winners By Paula Hendrickson Contributor

Daytime dramas are the brunt of a lot of jokes—some coming from people within the industry itself. Just this week on Days of Our Lives three longtime characters poked fun at some of their wilder past storylines while being held captive in a bunker that just happened to be well-stocked with champagne. When Marlena (Deirdre Hall) and Kate (Lauren Koslow) brought up how Vivian (Louise Sorrel) once buried someone alive, Vivian blamed it on Chinese herbs she’d been taking at the time, then shifted the subject by asking Marlena if she really was possessed by the devil (which was a major storyline in the mid-90s). I didn’t see the entire episode, but I’m sure at some point it also came up that Vivian stole Kate’s embryo and gave birth to

Kate’s son, Phillip. But it’s those outlandish storylines and intertwined relationships that make soap operas so much fun. Seriously, how many times can people come back from the dead? (I think Vivian is the only character in that scene who hasn’t at least been declared dead at least once.) The fact is the four remaining network soaps produce hundreds of hours of television per year. Each episode is made with a fraction of the budget primetime shows receive, and production is at a rapid-fire pace. Actors have to memorize copious amounts of dialog on a daily basis, rehearsal time is rare, and retakes are a luxury. It’s hard work. For actors, writers, producers, directors, and crews. So yes, storylines can be stretched thin. Yes, special effects can be cheesy. But no one can say the people who bring daytime

dramas to life don’t work incredibly hard to do their jobs as well as possible despite time and budgetary constraints. If they didn’t, the genre wouldn’t still be around and have rabid—and growing—fan bases. General Hospital debuted in 1963, Days of Our Lives in 1965, The Young and the Restless in 1973, and the relative newcomer, The Bold and the Beautiful in 1987. That type of longevity should be commended. As the television landscape has evolved, so has the daytime drama. Digital soaps—like The Bay, which boasts several well-known daytime actors among its producers—now outnumber network soaps, but the digital incarnations have fewer episodes. The Daytime Emmys recognize both linear and digital daytime dramas in separate categories. While all four remaining televised

dramas contended for Outstanding Drama Series, this year’s award went to Days of Our Lives, which also took the honors for writing and directing, and cast members James Reynolds (“Abe Carver”) and Greg Vaughan (“Eric Brady”) were named Outstanding Lead and Supporting actors, respectively. The Bay was named Outstanding Digital Daytime Drama Series. The Young and the Restless cast members Eileen Davidson (“Ashley Abbot”) and Camryn Grimes (“Mariah Copeland) won Outstanding Lead and Supporting actresses, respectively. You can find the complete list of winners at the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences’ websites, emmyonline.tv. Congratulations to the winners and nominees alike. R.

Fewer dementia patients die after surgery when nurses more educated By Lisa Rapaport Reuters Health

Patients with Alzheimer’s disease and dementia may be less likely to die after surgery when they’re treated at hospitals that employ a larger proportion of nurses with at least a college degree, a U.S. study suggests. Previous research has linked more educated nurses to better outcomes for hospital patients and lower rates of deaths and serious complications. In 2010, the U.S. Institute of Medicine called for four in five hospital nurses to have at least a bachelor’s degree by 2020. The current study adds to the evidence linking more educated nurses to lower surgical mortality rates. It found better survival odds at hospitals where more nurses had at least four-year college degrees, even for some of the most vulnerable surgical patients: people with dementia, who already have a higher risk of complications or death. “This suggests that comprehensive nursing care plays an important role in reducing some of the excess risk patients with dementia face when undergoing surgery, and that better education helps nurses manage the higher complexity of this patient population,” said lead study author Elizabeth White, a geriatric nurse practitioner and researcher at the University of Pennsylvania School of Nursing in Philadelphia. “As the population ages, hospitals will be faced with the challenges of caring for an increasing number of frail, cognitively impaired older adults,” White said by email. “Our findings suggest that transitioning to a largely (college-educated) nursing workforce, as the Institute of Medicine recommends, would contribute to improved surgical outcomes for this population.” Researchers examined data on surgical patients 65 and older covered by Medicare, the U.S. health program for the elderly, who had general surgery, orthopedic procedures or vascular operations at 531 acute care hospitals in California, Florida, New Jersey and Pennsylvania. The study included 46,163 people with Alzheimer’s or dementia as well as a control group of 307,170 people who didn’t have these conditions. Overall, 12,369 patients, or 3.5 percent, died within 30 days of admission to the

hospital, researchers report in the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society. Mortality rates were much higher - at 8 percent - for dementia patients, compared with less than 3 percent for the people without dementia. On average, about 38 percent of nurses had at least a four-year bachelor’s degree, although the proportion ranged from zero to 74 percent. Larger hospitals, teaching hospitals and high-technology facilities all tended to have more college-educated nurses. After researchers accounted for the type of surgery and individual hospital and patient characteristics, each 10 percent increase in the proportion of nurses with at least a bachelor’s degree was linked to 4 percent lower odds of death for patients without dementia and 10 percent lower odds of death for patients with dementia. The study wasn’t a controlled experiment designed to prove whether or how nurses’ education might directly influence survival odds for surgery patients. Still, the results add to evidence suggesting that this is one factor that can help improve patient outcomes, particularly for people with dementia who require complex care, said Dr. Rajesh Aggarwal, a professor of surgery at Thomas Jefferson University and Jefferson Health in Philadelphia who wasn’t involved in the study. “Greater education and experience will undoubtedly make the nurse better able to manage the care cycle for these patients,” Aggarwal said by email. The rest of the caregiving team also matters. “Nursing care is critically important, but should not overshadow the co-management of Alzheimer’s disease and dementia patients across the whole care team,” Aggarwal said. Patients and families may want to go to hospitals where more nurses have college degrees, said Dr. Jennifer Watt, a geriatrician at St. Michael’s Hospital and the University of Toronto in Canada. “All nurses must learn a core set of skills to provide safe and effective patient care,” Watt, who wasn’t involved in the study, said by email. “However, nurses with at least a bachelor’s degree have likely spent more time training to care for sicker patients with a greater burden of medical illnesses and who require more complicated medical care.”

GEMINI

You’ll either find the right treatment for your health problems, or a new diet will yield surprisingly fast results. In any case, you’re on the right track to enjoying a better quality of life.

CANCER

Your popularity will skyrocket this week, much to your astonishment. If you’re single, you’ll be equally surprised to realize just how many suitors are vying for your attention.

Delays and missed deadlines will plague your workweek, and you’ll find yourself wondering where to start. You need to slow down. Try to channel your energy in more productive ways, and you’ll be back on track in no time.

SAGITTARIUS

You’ll likely be called upon as a replacement following the abrupt departure of a co-worker, causing you undue stress. Luckily your efforts will pay off down the line.

CAPRICORN

Public speaking has never been your forte, but this week you can expect applause. You have every right to be proud of your accomplishment; don’t let your detractors’ negativity rain on your parade.

AQUARIUS

Balancing work and home life is no easy task. You’ll have to use your imagination this week to get everything done on the professional front without disappointing your family.

PISCES

If the opportunity for a spontaneous trip presents itself this week, don’t pass it up. Distancing yourself from your regular life will clear your mind and help you make that difficult decision you’ve been avoiding.

Required Surgery For A Defective Hip Replacement? M THERE IS A NEED FOR NEW PHYSICAL THERAPY EQUIPMENT

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 additionalfor ones. Please call the Resource Department at Ben Crane is responsible the content of this Development advertisement.

Farmers market season underway By Grant McCarty Contributor

Farmers markets in the Rockford area are just beginning to open for the season. You might be wondering exactly what will be available due to a colder than usual April. Vegetables you can potentially find are those like radish, lettuce, spinach, and others that may have been grown in a high tunnel. Many vendors may also have vegetables like potatoes and winter squash that they have kept in cold storage the last couple of months. Rhubarb and asparagus may be available too. Vegetable transplants will also be available with many growers having extra plants to sell for you. If you purchase vegetable transplants from a vendor, you might be able to get additional tips into the growing season from the vendors that will be growing the same variety as you. Beyond fruits and vegetables, other vendors will have meat, cheese, eggs, crafts, baked goods, jams/jellies, and plants. For the most part, there is a farmers market in the Rockford region from Monday to Saturday. Some are open in the morning or evening. Some farmers markets will have live music, kids crafts, and/or a community booth for a nonprofit. Between seasons, you may

find that your farmers market will not be returning. Each year there will be new farmers markets in the area. If you are a patron of the same farmers market each year, you might want to check in to see if the hours or days have changed as sometimes this can be the case between seasons. When visiting a farmers market, there are a couple of things you can bring with you. Plastic grocery bags or reusable totes are appreciated as it means the vendor doesn’t have to use the ones that they have brought with them. You want to bring cash with small bills. While some vendors are moving in the direction of being able to take credit cards, they still mostly take cash. A couple of farmers markets in our area accept Link too. As you visit the farmers market, check in at the welcome booth. You might find special events/ programs going on that week that you wouldn’t know otherwise. Most farmers markets will be held until October. So if you cannot make it out opening week, you will have plenty of opportunities this summer. R. Grant McCarty is the Local Food and Smalls Farms Educator of the University of Illinois Extension. His tips and tricks for local eating and your at-home garden appear every week in The Rock River Times.

Kentucky Derby

Justify early 3-1 favorite for Derby By Beth Harris AP Racing Writer

LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Bob Baffert had no chance to fret over the Kentucky Derby draw. By the time the Hall of Fame trainer managed to get into Churchill Downs, the process was halfway done and Justify had landed in the No. 7 post on Tuesday. “We didn’t want the 1-hole, that’s for sure,” the four-time Derby winner said. “I was relieved when I saw him in seven.” Justify was made the early 3-1 favorite for the Derby, with Europe-based Mendelssohn the second choice in a full field of 20 horses. Six horses have won from the No. 7 post, most recently Street Sense in 2007. “The only reason I’m the favorite is because I beat Bolt d’Oro and he was the horse to beat,” said Baffert, referring to Justify’s three-length win over his rival in the Santa Anita Derby last month. Justify is one of two horses in Saturday’s 1¼-mile race who didn’t race at age 2. The other is 6-1 third choice Magnum Moon. No horse since Apollo in 1882 has won the Derby after not racing as a 2-year-old. “I don’t buy into the Apollo Curse or whatever at all, mainly because Bob Baffert and Todd Pletcher have got the horses,” four-time Derby-winning trainer D. Wayne Lukas said. “Todd’s going to have his (horse) ready, and Baffert is going to have his.” Justify is 3-0 in his brief career, winning by a combined 19 lengths. Magnum Moon is 4-0, winning the Arkansas Derby and Rebel Stakes in his last two starts. “It’s one of the toughest Derbies I’ve ever seen,” Baffert said. “All the important horses got good draws.” More histor y is work ing against Mendelssohn. A horse coming from Europe has never won America’s biggest race. Trained by Irishman Aidan O’Brien, UAE Derby winner Mendelssohn is the 5-1 second choice. He drew the No. 14 post. O’Brien wasn’t at the draw and Mendelssohn won’t hit the Churchill Downs dirt strip until Wednesday after clearing quarantine. The colt arrived Monday from Ireland. Pletcher has a leading four horses in the field: Magnum Moon, 8-1 Audible, 12-1 Vino Rosso and 30-1 Noble Indy. He surpassed Lukas, his mentor, this year as the trainer with the most starters in Derby history with 52. Pletcher won last year with Always Dreaming. The main starting gate holds 14 horses and a six-stall auxiliary gate is attached. Horses are loaded into the gate two at a time, beginning with posts one and 11, which spend the most time waiting for

The Bob Baffert-trained Justify was made the early favorite for Saturday’s 144th running of the Kentucky Derby. Justify will start in the No. 7 post, which has produced six prior winners of the race. Photo, @KentuckyDerby the start. “Having three of the four horses in the auxiliary gate wasn’t what we were hoping for,” Pletcher said. “Sometimes you can work out good trips from out there. We’ve got four terrific riders.” The co-fourth choices are 8-1: Audible and Bolt d’Oro. Bolt d’Oro has won four of six career starts for trainer and owner Mick Ruis. The colt drew the No. 11 post, which means he will be waiting the longest for the gate to open. Firenze Fire drew the dreaded No. 1 post and also will be standing the longest. “We’re good,” Ruis said. “Bolt is so well-minded that he doesn’t work himself up.” Baffert’s other entry, 30-1 shot Solomini, drew the No. 17 post, which has never produced a Derby winner. Lukas, the 82-year-old Hall of Famer, has his 49th Derby starter in Bravazo. The colt is one of five 50-1 shots in the field. In that group is Lone Sailor, owned by Gayle Benson, the widow of the New Orleans Saints owner Tom Benson. Bravazo is owned by Calumet Farm, which has won a leading eight Derbies but none since 1968 when Calumet’s Forward Pass was declared the winner after Dancer’s Image was disqualified because of a positive drug test. Seven horses were listed at 30-1 by Churchill Dow ns oddsmaker M ike Battaglia: Free Drop Billy, Promises

Fulfilled, Flameaway, My Boy Jack, Enticed, Solomini and Noble Indy. The Desormeaux brothers have teamed with My Boy Jack. Kent Desormeaux, a three-time Derby winner, will ride, while Keith Desormeaux does the training. The field is limited to the top 20 horses based on points earned in designated prep races.

Twenty-one horses were entered. The 21st horse on the points list is Blended Citizen, who would need a defection by early Friday morning to get into the 144th edition of the race. If all 20 horses start, the total purse would be $2,192,000. The winner earns $1,432,000. Post time is 5:46 p.m. Saturday.

IceHogs head to Winnipeg for Round 2 By Jim Hagerty Contributor

ROCKFORD -- It took a five-hour affair, but the Rockford IceHogs completed a three-game sweep of the Chicago Wolves and now head to Winnipeg to face the Manitoba Moose in the second round of the Calder Cup Playoffs. IceHogs rookie Victor Ejdsell notched the winning goal in triple overtime last Thursday to knock top-seeded Chicago out of the postseason. With less than three minutes left in the third overtime, Ejdsell beat Maxime Lagace from the right-wing circle at the end of a Rockford power play. The goal was Ejdsell’s second of the contest. The game was the longest in IceHogs history and the eighth-longest in the American Hockey League. “I threw it to the net kind of high and it went in,” Ejdsell said of the game-winner. Ejdsell was traded to the Blackhawks Feb. 26 as part of the Ryan Hartman deal with Nashville. He reported to Rockford March 21 and was recalled by Chicago March 25 at the tail end of the NHL season. “It’s fun,” he added. “I got a second chance to play in the playoffs. But it’s been tough as well. The game is different, the rink is different, so I still have to adapt.” Before coming to the United States Ejdsell logged a 20-goal season with HV71 of the Swedish Hockey League. He signed

an entry-level deal with the Predators last May but opted to remain in Sweden to develop his game. While the quick work of the Wolves was a monumental feat for the IceHogs, it was Manitoba who ran away with the division for most of the 2017-18 campaign. The Moose relinquished first place down the stretch, however, as the Winnipeg Jet skated into the Stanley Cup Playoffs and took some top-prospects with them. The Moose also failed to close the door on the top spot as Chicago, Grand Rapids, Milwaukee and Rockford made late runs that could have seen any of the four playoff contenders win the Central. “It doesn’t matter who we play,” forward Tanner Kero said. “It’s going to be a tough series, so we need to prepare and focus on the weekend.” The weekend starts Friday night at the Bell MTS Place, an arena the Moose share with the Jets. Manitoba is coming off Game 5 trouncing of the Grand Rapids Griffins Monday. And even without a couple key players, the Moose are expected to be every bit as formidable as they were throughout the season. “We’re still playing,” coach Jeremy Colliton said. “There’s eight teams left when it’s all said and done, and that’s a special club to be part of. We’ll prepare the best we can. We like our team, so it’ll be fun.”

It may be difficult for the Rockford staff not like what they’ve seen since the IceHogs climbed out of the basement to grab the fourth playoff seed. After a hot start, Rockford sputtered a bit. The club lost six of eight games in mid-November, and suffered four-game losing streaks going into January and February. The ‘Hogs power play was the worst in the league for most of the season and a goaltender shakeup perpetuated by Corey Crawford’s injuries in Chicago saw a struggling young Collin Delia thrown into the AHL storm. The Hogs responded by winning 12 of their last 19 games, a span that included a six-game win streak, and a point streak that spanned 14 contests. The Rockford power play is now a feared unit and Collin Delia is anything but the raw, ECHL netminder he was last fall. The ‘Hogs scored multiple power-play goals in each of their three games against Chicago, combining for a 7-for-18, 38.9 percent on the man-advantage. Rockford’s power play had been at 13 percent. They have now scored 20 power-play goals over the last 16 games dating back to March 17 of the regular season. Rockford netted three of its four goals in the second period Thursday, while allowing just one. The IceHogs have been outscored by a combined total of 5-4 through the first and third periods in the postseason but are outscoring opponents 6-1 in the second

frame during the playoffs. “Everyone’s contributing,” forward Chris DiDomenico said. “Everyone is battling for each other. That’s playoff hockey. And we are going to have to continue to do that. It’s always good to get the first playoff series out of the way but there’s three more to go, so it’s not going to be easy.” DiDomenico notched three points Thursday, tying the IceHogs’ AHL franchise record for points in a playoff game. He now ranks eighth in the league with five points in three postseason tilts. Ejdsell’s goals were his first AHL markers. He now has four points in his last two outings, giving the Karlstad, Sweden native momentum he says he’ll carry into the next series. “This gives us confidence,” he said. “It’s been a tough series, but at the end of the day, we were the better team and we deserve it.” Thursday’s sweep was Rockford’s second in the AHL playoffs. The first came in 2015 when Rockford did away with the defending Calder Cup champion Texas Stars at home. The puck drops in Winnipeg at 7 p.m., Friday, for a best-of-seven series. Game 2 will also be in Manitoba before the series returns to the BMO Harris Bank Center for Game 3 on Wednesday, May 9, and Game 4 Friday, May 11. Both games start at 7 p.m. If necessary, Game 5 will be played in Rockford Saturday, May 12. Games 6 and 7 would be in Winnipeg. R.
