Fifth area tornado confirmed from last week’s storms

The National Weather Service says it has confirmed a third tornado from last week’s storms in southern Wisconsin. The weather service says the EF0 tornado touched down just after 7:30 p.m. Wednesday in Rock County near Janesville. It had estimated peak winds of 80 mph, with a path about 100 yards wide and eight-tenths of a mile long. An EF0 tornado is the weakest on a scale that goes up to E-F5. Two other tornadoes touched down Wednesday in Green County of southern Wisconsin. The EF1 tornadoes caused damage in the Monticello area. And one person was injured when an EF1 tornado touched down in Pierce County of western Wisconsin on Wednesday. A further two EF1 tornadoes touched down outside Cherry Valley and Belvidere as part of the same system. So far 21 tornadoes have touched down in Wisconsin this year, compared to an average of 23.

Production notes

We felt it important to give our readers a bit of insight into this week’s issue. For starters, due to the holiday our deadline was moved to Monday instead of our usual Tuesday night decision time. That severely impacted on our ability to provide newsworthy coverage of key events happening, particularly the budget negotiations (and, maybe by the time this paper comes out, solutions) in Springfield. Also, the network at our office took a dive on Monday, just as we were prepping to cram what’s normally two days of layout and production work of the paper into one. So, if you feel let down in some way by this week’s issue, we apologize and hope you had a good holiday. And if you need your fix of news out of Springfield and elsewhere, it’s always there for you at RockRiverTimes.com. –Staff & wire reports

Hanley Fire

What the Hanley is happening? The fallout from the Hanley fire went up in a blaze of social media commentary last week. Now that the smoke has mostly cleared, we took time to talk to the key players and voices in the decisionmaking around the demolition of the 116-yearold building. Here’s what happened during the city’s hectic Hanley week.

By Jim Hagerty • Shane Nicholson Contributor • Managing Editor

ROCKFORD — With the Fourth of July parade was rerouted, downtown businesses were still dealing with the aftermath of the fire that gutted the Hanley Furniture building. One of those businesses is Magpie, the eatery next door to the vacant 5-story Hanley structure. Owner Stephanie Caltagerone evacuated the restaurant just before 1 p.m., Sunday, June 25, when the fire broke out. She hasn’t been open since and says the building’s owner, Hanley Lofts LLC controlled by Urban Equity Properties President and CEO Justin Fern, is largely to blame. Caltagerone initially took to Facebook to voice her frustration. In a post last week, she said Fern’s attempt to save the building have come with grave repercussions. “Thanks to Urban Equity Properties, Justin Fern and Gary Anderson our building has sustained 3 more days of damage and

we are expecting more rain this evening,” Caltagerone posted last week. “There is an enormous amount of standing water on our roof due to the debris from the building next-door clogging o(u)r drain.” Since then, she says water damage has tripled. Fern told The Times during the fire that he deferred decisions regarding the building to the city, something he said was necessary as firefighters battled the blaze. But he did not agree to knock down the building once the fire was out. “I allowed the proper authorities to do what they needed to do to secure the site,” Fern said. He said he was then asked to take expensive and immediate measures to stabilize the building or demolish it. The developer decided meeting those demands was not economically feasible, so Fern joined the city in announcing the plan to raze the building he planned to turn into an apartment complex. Within 48 hours, however, Fern learned the project may still qualify for historic

tax credits even though the building lost the fifth floor, leading to a hectic few days around the 1901 structure.

Timeline

The city’s Building Code Official Thaddeus Mack says the fire chief and investigators had to wait for daylight last Monday morning, June 26, to make any decisions on the fate of the building. “We couldn’t just continue hammering away at this thing overnight. We had to preserve the safety of the other buildings.” “Demolition should have been started Monday (following the fire),” Caltagerone argues. “There were a lot of authorities on site that night saying the building couldn’t be saved.” But the city says that Fern had time under law to respond to any order to tear the building down. UEP was notified Monday of the city’s intent to carry out a demolition. That gave Fern a Tuesday afternoon deadline to respond. Meanwhile, local architect Gar y Anderson had, without contact from Fern,

July 5, 2017 The Rock River Times. lobbied the city to delay any decisions on the structure. On Tuesday, the Rockford Register Star was reporting that Anderson felt the building could be saved. The city says Anderson called them as soon as the morning following the fire citing concerns over the use of the wrecking ball to remove the top floor. But city officials say their concern was for the public safety, not the possible preservation of the structure. Anderson has been a large proponent of using historic tax credits for projects throughout downtown, which the Hanley would have benefited from. By Wednesday, with Fern concurring with the city’s initial evaluation that the building come down, officials began seeking contracts to begin demolition. A bid from Northern Illinois Services (NIS) was placed at $500,000, with another bid of $800,000 coming Thursday morning. On the hook for a pending demolition, plus what Fern had already paid for the building, UEP asked if it could solicit its own bids to bring down the building. Mack says the city gave Fern’s company a Thursday afternoon deadline as it told NIS to begin prepping its crews. Fern filed a temporary restraining order Thursday in the hopes of stopping the wrecking balls. But a Winnebago County judge quickly denied his request and demolition began Friday, June 30. Caltagerone says that was nearly a week too late. But the city says its schedule for the demolition was unchanged by Fern’s actions. Mack says many things were at play. “We had to be able to take down the building without damaging the southern buildings,” Mack said this week. “We got a wrecking ball out there (last) Sunday night to start on that top floor, because that top floor was a different type of construction.” Mayor Tom McNamara says safety was his No. 1 concern as decisions about the building were made throughout the week. “Public safety comes first. No. 2 was making sure we’re doing everything we can in our powers to make sure the adjacent buildings are secured.” Once the Hanley structure was secure, NIS lined the roofs of the southern adjacent buildings with hay bales, plywood and tarps for protection. Some damage had already been done by the fire, including bricks falling during the blaze taking out skylights and other fixtures. That was compounded by drains backing up as

debris shed the Hanley, and those drains remained blocked Wednesday as torrential rains hammered the area. McNamara said getting the owners and tenants back into those structures as quickly as possible was critical for the city. “We made sure they had the opportunity to get into the buildings last week, and again (Monday),” he said. “That’s with demolition ongoing. But it had to be safe.” McNamara added that further resources were made available to the Hanley’s neighbors. “We’ve made them aware of different tools the city has for economic development, different tools we have available if they need help.”

What’s next

Fern’s company purchased the Hanley Building in 2014 for $355,000. More than a year’s worth of planning and staff time will put his losses north of $1 million on

–Mayor Tom McNamara

the Hanley, he says, adding he hopes a thorough investigation into the fire’s cause can be done contemporaneously to demolition. The City of Rockford says demolition will cost $500,000, which it plans to recoup from Fern’s companies. “I didn’t want to see another vacant lot downtown when we have a housing project like this on the horizon,” Mack said. “Unfortunately, that didn’t happen.” In the meantime, Caltagerone and her staff are in limbo. “There’s no money coming in,” she said. “Personally, I am not making any money and I don’t know how long I can carry everything.” She said the next step after the demolition is complete and her building is stabilized is for insurance adjusters to put a value on the damages. As of this report, Caltagerone says her roof is damaged, her electricity has been shut off, and prepared food is still on tables from when customers evacuated the room and things are only getting worse. Caltagerone is thankful, however. She said as losses continue to mount, firefighters should be commended for a job well done. “They did an exemplary job,” she said. “They prevented our building from catching fire.” Officials say that as of Monday they were working to hand-demo the south wall of the burned out Hanley in the hopes of minimizing damage to the adjacent buildings. Fern said while he sympathizes with

Magpie and the other adjacent businesses, he isn’t receiving special treatment from officials. He is also barred from his property. “There are fences around the building,” Fern said. “Anyone who enters the site can be arrested. It’s the law. I didn’t write it.” The redevelopment process on the Hanley Building was set to begin in a month. Fern says he will evaluate his options for a replacement project. “We were about to go in front of city council,” he said of the planned $9 million apartment building project. “There were a few minor things to clear up, but everything was ready to go.” That didn’t stop rumors and allegations from circulating on social media. Attorney Jeff Orduno said Friday he was prepared to take legal action against those who publicly accused Fern of having direct involvement in the fire. Many took to social media claiming Fern was complicit in the blaze in order to collect insurance proceeds or for political favors. “As to everyone who has arguably defamed Justin, Urban Equity Properties LLC, and/or Hanley Lofts LLC on social media or elsewhere, you have until July 3, 2017 to retract your libel and slander or make an apology,” Orduno said. “By July 5, 2017, I am suing everyone who stands by their defamatory blather by leaving it posted or not retracting it. Everyone.” No suits had been filed as of press time, Monday night. Structural demolition of the Hanley Building continued Monday. R.

US nuclear inspection results now concealed BY ROBERT BURNS

AP NATIONAL SECURITY WRITER

WASHINGTON — The Pentagon has thrown a cloak of secrecy over assessments of the safety and security of its nuclear weapons operations, a part of the military with a history of periodic inspection failures and bouts of low morale. Overall results of routine inspections at nuclear weapons bases, such as a “passfail” grade, had previously been publicly available. They are now o�-limits. The change goes beyond the standard practice of withholding detailed information on the inspections. The stated reason for the change is to prevent adversaries from learning too much about U.S. nuclear weapons vulnerabilities. Navy Capt. Greg Hicks, spokesman for the Joint Chiefs of Sta�, said the added layer of secrecy was deemed necessary. “We are comfortable with the secrecy,” Hicks said Monday, adding that it helps ensure that “as long as nuclear weapons exist, the U.S. will maintain a safe, secure, and e�ective nuclear stockpile.” Critics question the lockdown of information. “The whole thing smells bad,” said Steven Aftergood, a government secrecy expert with the Federation of American Scientists. “They’re acting like they have something to hide, and it’s not national security secrets.” “I think the new policy fails to distinguish between protecting valid secrets and shielding incompetence,” he added. “Clearly, nuclear weapons technology secrets should be protected. But negligence or misconduct in handling nuclear weapons should not be insulated from public accountability.” The decision to conceal results from inspections of how nuclear weapons are operated, maintained and guarded follows a secret recommendation generated by in-depth Pentagon reviews of problems with the weapons, workers and facilities making up the nation’s nuclear force. But the problems that prompted the reviews three years ago weren’t created by releasing inspection results. The problems were actual shortcomings in the nuclear force, including occasional poor performance, security lapses and ﬂawed training, driven in part by underspending and weak leadership. The overall results of such inspections, minus security-sensitive details, used to be publicly available. They provided the initial basis for

Associated Press reporting in 2013-2014 on missteps by the Air Force nuclear missile corps. The AP documented security lapses, leadership and training failures, morale problems and other issues, prompting the Pentagon under Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel to order an in-depth study by an independent group. The review, published in November 2014, found deeply rooted problems and recommended remedies still in the works. In parallel, Hagel ordered what he called an internal review of the nuclear problems. Its findings and recommendation are secret. Without commenting on the decision to classify inspection grades, Hagel said in an email exchange that excessive government secrecy is dangerous. “Trust and confidence of the people is the coin of the realm for leaders and nations,” Hagel wrote to the AP. “That requires an openness even on sensitive issues. Certain specifics must always stay classified for national security reasons but should be classified only when absolutely necessary. When you close down information channels and stop the flow of information you invite questions, distrust and investigations.” Of the two reviews conducted in 2014, the secret report is the one that contains the recommendation to further restrict release of inspection results, according to several o�cials, including Joseph W. Kirschbaum, director of defense capabilities and management at the Government Accountability O�ce, the congressional watchdog. In e�ect, the Pentagon used the cover

of classification to obscure its decision to make nuclear inspection results secret. The added layer of secrecy did not come to light until an Air Force personnel o�ce posted on its website on June 14 a notice that the “grade,” or overall result, of a nuclear inspection could no longer be mentioned in any personnel documents such as enlisted and o�cer performance reports, citations or award nominations. The change is even broader, however. It prohibits any mention of inspection results in any unclassified Defense Department document. The new rule started going into e�ect in phases in March, a�ecting the Navy, which operates the ballistic missile submarine segment of the nuclear force, and the Air Force, which operates land-based nuclear missiles and nuclear bombers. The Pentagon made the change by rewriting an “instruction” issued by the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Sta�’s o�ce. The revision isn’t publicly available. Hicks, the Joint Chiefs spokesman, said the instruction is not classified but is authorized for “limited” distribution, keeping it from release. An AP request for a copy was denied. Asked why the instruction was revised, Hicks said the 2014 Pentagon review recommended that the Air Force “adopt the Navy’s policy” on classification of nuclear inspection results. “The elevated security classification” limits the amount of “potentially vulnerable information to adversary forces,” he added. The Pentagon has never asserted that reporting on nuclear inspection results has compromised nuclear security.

More area buildings up in flames By Jim Hagerty Contributor

ROCKFORD — A fire caused heavy damage to a second Rockford building within a week, as firefighters battled a blaze at 301 7th St. Sunday. Officials say the fire started somewhere in the back of the three-story home of El Olivo Grocery. The fire was contained to the top two floors, which are vacant. The cause of the fire is unknown. Witnesses say there Witnesses say there were numerous people lighting fireworks in the area before the flames were spotted in the rear of the store around 11:30 p.m. Rockford Fire Chief Derek said more than 40 firefighters were called to the scene and battled the blaze until after 2 a.m. Monday.

Estimated damage is not known. The building is owned by Graf Enterprises and is valued at $79,640, according to the Winnebago County Treasurer. The grocery store remained closed Wednesday. The fire remains under investigation. The site is not expected to disrupt the Fourth of July parade, which utilizes the Rockford Public School’s 7th Street parking lot as a float staging area. Fire officials are still investigating the cause of the June 25 fire that resulted in the demolition of the Hanley Furniture building at 301 S Main St. That building, owned by Hanley Lofts LLC, was being tapped for a major redevelopment project Urban Equity Properties, which recently turned Rockford’s Trust Building into an

upscale apartment complex. The company had planned a similar project at Hanley that included a ground-floor restaurant. The building is currently being demolished while adjacent business, including J-Bears Place and Magpie, also sustained damage and remain closed until demolition is complete. “They started with the hand demo of the south wall and the fifth floor,” Urban Equity Properties’ Justin Fern said of the Hanley demolition. “They then (proceeded) with the heavy equipment on the remaining four floors.” Fern said the Hanley property will be used as green space temporarily. There are other possibilities in the future but said a parking lot is currently not one of them.

“It would be an expensive parking lot,” Fern said.”Parking lot revenue barely covers expenses. But when we have millions of dollars in it, it doesn’t make any sense.” Fern bought the Hanley property in 2014 for $355,000. His losses are expected to exceed $1 million. Tuesday’s parade has been rerouted to avoid the Hanley site. Another fire just north of downtown Rockford engulfed a Loves Park business Saturday as crews battled a blaze at Kar Korner, 4925 N. 2nd St. The owner says his building is a total loss, but he plans to rebuild. Rockford Fire says while having multiple fires in the area is common, it’s something the department is looking into. R.

Family, friends search for missing Loves Park woman By Jim Hagerty Contributor

LOVES PARK — Hundreds of people have joined the search for a missing Loves Park woman. Emily Anderson, 25, was last seen June 19. Early reports indicated that her last stop before disappearing was Slots of Fortune in Roscoe. Her friends and family say that report may not be accurate. After finishing her shift at Shooters North, where she’s employed as a bartender, Emily was seen at Neighbors Bar and Grill and Steak ‘n Shake before being spotted around 2:30 a.m., inside the Wal-Mart on Northridge Drive. Her car, a silver Pontiac Grand Am with Illinois license number V414149, is also missing. Several people reported seeing her car in Freeport in the days following but the report did not check out. Emily has epilepsy and is believed to be without her medication. Her sister, Cait Dull, says all leads are being followed, even the possibility that she left the area by choice. However, leaving her family and friends without a word is something those close to her say she would not do. That means she may have left the area against her will. Family members are not ready to accept that their loved one has met with harm. However, they also realize that 25-yearold women do not disappear without trace. That is why their search efforts are taking them to some uncomfortable areas. “We think people know (something),” Dull said “(That) something bad happened and they are afraid to talk.” Dull said they are still clinging to hope

that if Emily is out there, she will see the thousands of social media pleas for her to contact someone or come home. In the last two weeks, volunteers have organized a benefit concert and candlelight vigil. A $12,000 reward is being offered for information leading to her return. Detectives with the Loves Park Police Department are also following up on dozens of tips. They’ve talked to people closest to Emily, hoping to glean informa-

tion about whereabouts. However, without credible information or the discovery of physical evidence, investigators will continue to treat the situation as a missing person’s case. “My family and I appreciate everyone’s concern and constantly checking on us during this horrific time,” Dull said. “It really does mean a lot to us. My sister is deeply missed and we wish she would be returned to us.”

Emily is 5-foot-5 an approximately 140 pounds. She has black hair, green eyes and piercings on her ears and nose, and tattoos on her chest and arms. She was last seen wearing black pants and white shirt. Anyone with information is urged to call the Loves Park Police Department at 815-654-5015 during normal business hours. After hours tips can be shared by calling the Loves Park Police non-emergency number at 815-282-2600. R.

Energy & Environment. Mr. Green Car

What will bring electric cars into popular fold By Allen Penticoff

Columnist

hen I wrote my column about the Acura NSX, I was using the Nov. 2016 issue of Car and Driver Magazine as a source for the information about this unique hybrid car. In the same issue, really in the same report on the NSX, there were some sidebar reports on the state of electrification of the modern automobile. Car and Driver magazine, like the auto industry in general, see that electric vehicles are the future. However, the main stumbling blocks are still the cost of the batteries and access to high-speed charging. First, the target is to have lithium-ion batteries that cost $150 per kWh of storage capacity. This is the price level where electric power can be cost-competitive with internal combustion engine vehicles. Right now your standard engine and

transmission package is about $4,000 to $7,000 of the price of a vehicle. That cost is expected to rise another $1,000 to $2,000 as transmissions and engines become more complex to meet stricter emissions and mileage standards. At present, lithium-ion battery packs capable of 200 miles of range need to store 50 kWh of power. Chevy Bolt’s 60 kWh battery pack costs $215 per kWh or $12,900. Obviously, more costly than even $9,000 for the latest engine technology. But if that 60 kWh battery pack is $150 per kWh, now it is down to $9,000 for the batteries and $1,500 to $2,000 for the electric motor and transmission. So now we are in the ballpark for cost equivalency. With reduced maintenance costs of electric vehicles, they soon break even with conventionally fueled vehicles. There are no big changes in lithium-ion battery technology looming on the horizon that will bring the cost down. Streamlined mass production, such as in a Tesla Gigafactory is what will bring

down the cost. On one hand, these factories are already needed — Tesla’s new smaller, cheaper Model 3 car is expected to use up the entire world lithium-ion battery manufacturing capacity. Charging infrastructure needs to be standardized and more readily available to make EVs truly competitive with internal combustion power. Presently there are three different charge plug/ports. The U.S. and European auto manufacturers use the “Combined Charging System” which has a 50 kWh charge rate. The Asian car builders use the “CHAdeMO” plug of 50 kWh as well, while Tesla has it’s own that includes 135 kWh supercharging. Experts believe the manufacturers are going to have to make a decision on which plug will be standard so we don’t have the Betamax vs. VHS problem ongoing. At least adapters can be contrived to make up the difference between plug styles. So far our own Volt has found public plugs to work without an adapter – although there are presently only 1061

such places for the Combined Charging System versus 1919 for the CHAdeMO style and 2010 for the Tesla plug. In addition to the issue of plug connections, high-speed 150 kWh charging needs to be very available so that those 50-60 kWh battery packs can be recharged on cross-country trips in 30 minutes or so. The U.S. Department of Transportation and the U.S. Department of Energy formed a partnership last summer to explore having a coast to coast network of charging stations with charge rates as high as 350 kWh. Now we’re talking convenient long distance electric travel. At about the same time this network comes to fruition - our vehicles will be highly autonomous as well – changing radically the American Road Trip. R. Mr. Green Car will be hosting an open discussion program on future transportation at the upcoming Renewable Energy and Sustainable Lifestyles Fair in Oregon on August 19. See you there.

Illinois solar hits a bump in the road By Drs. Robert & Sonia Vogl Contributors

Just a few months ago the passage of Future Energy Jobs Act in Illinois was lauded as promising biggest advancement of clean energy investments in the history of the state. With up to 2700 MW of solar electric and 1350 MW of new wind installations expected the new supplies could meet the energy needs of roughly one million Illinois homes. A subsequent compromise was struck between nuclear and renewable energy interests which assures ratepayer support for economically challenged nuclear power plants in the state and provides funds for renewable energy installations. A unique provision in the act created the Illinois Solar for All Program, which extends the benefits of energy efficiency and clean energy to low-income and minority communities. With the ongoing state budget battle, a proposal under

consideration would take away the funds from the Illinois Solar for All program. In response to this threat, the Environmental Law and Policy Center has issued a call for concerned citizens to email their legislators to request they retain funds for the program. elpc.org Despite this challenge to funding some renewable energy programs in Illinois a steady stream of announcements exists regarding new solar installations and continued technological progress in the industry. For example, according to a recent announcement in the Lake County News-Sun, Waukegan School District 60 is considering leasing a former 70-acre landfill site to a firm planning to install a solar farm on the school-owned property. Some 45 acres are considered suitable for solar installations. While the details remain to be worked out, the school district expects the project would produce a new revenue stream for them and lower the annual

maintenance costs associated with the property. In addition to the opportunities for solar installations on publically owned buildings and property, corporate interests are moving ahead with plans to install solar systems on their properties. According to Ceres, 240 firms in the Fortune 500 hold specific climate and or energy goals. Corporations have already installed over one GW of onsite solar capacity and have signed agreements for another seven gigawatts for offsite renewable energy since 2014. Solar systems have been installed in this area at sewage treatment facilities such as those in Rockford and Rochelle and at nature centers including the Byron Forest Preserve and Nachusa Grasslands. In addition to installations on public facilities, a number of manufacturing facilities in the area are supplied with solar electricity as exemplified by Wahl Clipper

in Sterling and the Specialty Screw Facility in Rockford. With ongoing cost reductions in solar systems and continued technological improvements, the potential for a rapid expansion of installations in Illinois and other states in the country is promising. We continue to encourage others whether individuals, public officials or private firms to consider meeting some of their electrical needs with solar energy. Plan to attend this year’s Renewable Energy and Sustainable Lifestyle Fair August 19 and 20 at the Ogle County Fairgrounds to learn about energy options for Illinois. Find more at Illinoisrenew.org. The major sponsor of the Fair is the Illinois Clean Energy Community Foundation. We appreciate the support of The Rock River Times. R. Drs. Robert and Sonia Vogl are the President and Vice President of the Illinois Renewable Energy Association.

With regrets... A Wisconsin Republican looks back at voter ID and redistricting fights. By Topher Sanders ProPublica

Dale Schultz, a Republican, served in the Wisconsin Legislature for more than 30 years, from 1983 to 2015. His Senate district is located in south Wisconsin, much of it rural farmland. Schultz was considered a moderate, and so much of what happened in state politics near the end of his tenure dismayed him: partisan fights over the rights of unions, a gubernatorial recall election, and claims of partisan Republican gerrymandering that will now be heard by the U.S. Supreme Court. And then there was the prolonged entanglement over voting rights in the state — who could vote, when they could vote, how they could vote. In the face of years of political combat and federal court fights, the legislature ultimately adopted a vast array of changes to election laws. Among them: • Voters would have to produce certain types of identification. • Early voting was reduced. • Restrictions on absentee balloting were implemented. • Time frames for how long people had to be residing in the state before they could vote were lengthened. Republicans hailed the moves as overdue steps toward improving the integrity of state voting. Democrats cried foul, alleging a conspiracy to suppress votes among people of color and others inclined to vote Democratic. Schulz was in office for the birth of the efforts to tighten voting procedures and often present for the Republican deliberations about their aims. Schultz, before leaving office, voted for the initial voting measures, a decision he came to regret. He opposed some of the subsequent measures as litigation over the issues made their way through the courts and his career wound down. ProPublica had an interview with Schultz recently about the issue of voting in Wisconsin. The Q&A follows. It has been edited and condensed for length and clarity. ProPublica: You were initially in favor of Republican efforts to tighten voting and reconfigure districts. What first appealed to you about those ideas? Dale Schultz: Well, the blunt truth is, as a partisan politician, your knee-jerk reaction is to protect the standing of your party because that solidifies your power to accomplish what you want to do. My good friend and former colleague, Tim Cullen, also served as Senate majority leader but

on the Democrat side, and we’ve said we’re both guilty of voting for redistricting maps which were politically motivated. This isn’t a one party sin. It happens on both sides, and that’s why we introduced our bipartisan bill to change how we redistrict in Wisconsin. I’m happy the U.S. Supreme Court has agreed to take up the issue this fall. The Republicans pushing the voter ID effort cited voter fraud as a concern and a reason to tighten voting rules and requirements. Did anyone ever show you compelling evidence of that? No, in fact, quite the opposite. Some of the most conservative people in our caucus actually took the time to involve themselves in election-watching and came back and told other caucus members that, “I’m sorry, I didn’t see it.” In terms of voting laws, look, I don’t have a fundamental problem with having to show a photo ID in order to vote, but what I do have a problem with are the severe restrictions on what kind of photo ID is allowed and also using these laws to suppress the votes of specific groups. You need to understand, I come from the old school of the “Institution of the Senate.” When I was coming up through the ranks, and even when I was majority leader, I put great stock and respect into the chairmanship system. When you were given a chair of a committee, you were expected to put the good of the Senate above all else. So when the chair of the Senate elections committee says there’s a problem with voter fraud in the state, and the committee passes a bill out, you take them at their word. But that’s on me. Anyway, I ultimately ordered my staff to launch our own investigation and come up with three concrete examples of voter fraud in Wisconsin. Well, guess what? They couldn’t do it, and you need to understand the time, I had graduates from the University of Wisconsin journalism school on staff who’d worked for national publications. But we did come up with two examples. One was a Republican legislative staffer who’d voted in the Madison area as well as back in her hometown in the same election. The other was the estranged wife of a Republican. That’s it, and both examples were on the Republican side. Did you ever raise the lack of evidence with your Republican colleagues? Our caucuses were quite raucous. Our meetings and how we dealt with one another was blunt. I asked my colleagues to show me three specific examples, and all I got was a bunch of hand-wringing and drama-filled speeches about the “buses of Democrats being brought up from Chicago.” I said, “Show me where that was ever prosecuted

or even charges brought.” It was crickets. Nobody could give me an answer, and that was both an eye-opening and sad moment for me because I think it finally hit me that time-honored tradition of the “Institution of the Senate” was all but dead. You know, I had, I think it’s fair to say, a reputation for challenging the thinking of our caucuses. But if you find yourself in a situation where you’re dissenting too often, pretty soon people go, “Well, he never agrees with us, he’s not really one of us. We’re not going to bother to listen.” So, you learn to pick your spots and try to make a difference where you can. I want to be clear. I don’t want to cast myself as some sort of superhero. Look, I’m a politician. I was for 30 years. Inherently, that means that you compromise and that everybody’s hands get a little dirty as they try to work out a solution that is the best for people. People were very frank and this is not a game for the timid. People were very emotional, but you know when it comes to casting votes, people know that once the decision is made, the team pretty much sticks together. Talk about why you later came to regret ever voting for the measures. I voted for the first voter law bill, and then I did what I’d done since I first got elected in 1982; I went out and did my regular scheduled district office hours. It took all of my first stop to realize I didn’t do my homework. I had town and village clerks coming up to me saying, “Dale, are you nuts? Do you realize how restricting voting hours and early voting and absentee voting is going to affect how people can vote let alone making our jobs all the harder?” They also made it clear that there was no voter fraud happening that they were aware of. Because of the feedback from my constituents, I voted no on the subsequent bills.

‘I

I enjoyed all the people I represented and it was a great honor. But there were occasions where people said, “Dale, I’ve heard your explanation on what you’ve done and why you’ve done it, but I think you got this wrong.” And I think voter ID was one of those. A long time ago my father told me on the farm, if you happen to, when you’re out in the pasture, put your foot in a cowpie, don’t sit there and explain why you stepped in it, just take it out. And it’s been my experience politically, that when you do that, and you explain the reasons, people tend to see that as a politician evolving and thinking and listening, and I think most people are hungry for that. And they’re supportive of that, as long as it doesn’t become a daily flip-flop. The numbers are in from the 2016 election in Wisconsin. The state surprised the pollsters by going for Trump. And now there’s likely to be a long debate and examination of whether the voter ID and other measures played a role in that outcome. Any early thoughts? Oh, yeah, all of these things have an impact. Even just constantly keeping up a steady drumbeat of claims about election fraud has an impact. It motivates a base. How big an impact probably varies from state to state. In very close elections, even seemingly small impacts can have great consequences. You got out of elective office after 32 years. Why? Well, because I like to think I’m old enough and wise enough to know that there’s more to life than politics, as important as it’s been to me and as enjoyable as it has been to me for all those years. Then again, it’s not that I haven’t been bothered by the changes I’d seen around me or just the simple reality that it was less fun than it used to be as people stopped thinking and became more Pavlovian.

said, “Show me where (voter fraud) was ever prosecuted or even charges brought.” It was crickets. Nobody could give me an answer...’

Saying goodbye By John Guevara

Contributor

have never put down a pet. I grew up with a dog and my family had a couple cats in the years after I left for college. All three of them died natural deaths. I buried one of them myself. I have had five dogs over the years. The first one to pass was on Mother’s Day 2011. He was only four-years-old. Now I am faced with losing my second dog. His name is Buckley. William F. Buckley, to be exact. At 17, he has lived a full and I hope a happy life. I found him outside the Rockford Register Star building. He had been wandering for a while, without tags or training. Noah’s Ark took him in because I promised to adopt him. After shots and a “fixing” I brought him home. I trained him myself. He has been the one constant in my life from the moment he walked through the door. He was the dog everybody loved, and he loved everybody. The decline started about two years ago. He began having trouble hearing and grew less interested in playing fetch. A year later, the vet noticed some atrophy in his back legs. He began to have trouble getting up—and walking up and down stairs.

In the last few months, he has had days when I carried him up and down the stairs to the back yard. He had trouble waiting to go outside and do his business. He had his good days and bad days, and I couldn’t bring myself to think about the worst. This morning I walked into my living room to find him in a miry puddle of his own waste. I wept as I cleaned the floor and washed him. Rainbrowsbridge.com, when talking about knowing when to euthanize a pet, says, “If your pet can no longer do with you and your family the things he or she once enjoyed, if your pet cannot respond to you in the usual ways, or if there is more pain than pleasure in his or her life, you may need to consider euthanasia. Likewise, if your pet is terminally ill or critically injured, or if the financial or emotional cost of treatment is beyond your means, euthanasia may be a valid option.” He does not whimper and I cannot tell if he is in pain. He has real trouble walking at all now. We will be talking to our vet on next steps. I do not want to euthanize him. I know intellectually there are times when it is the right thing to do for a pet. I understand the struggle so many pet owners have gone through making this

decision. My heart breaks for them. It breaks for Buckley. It is a hard decision to make. There are a number of options ranging from taking him back home to purchasing a burial plot and having a memorial service. My vet at the Animal Clinic of Rockford on N. Main St. had been very kind in helping us navigate through the process. People grieve differently. Sometimes they try not to grieve at all. The key is to grieve in as healthy a way as possible. Rainbowsbridge.com includes a Grief Support Center. It has a Pet Loss Forum and a Pet Loss Chat Room. There are guides to help children cope with the loss of a pet. There is even a page to help your other pets cope with the loss. My friend, Pat McCann, shared a poem she has used to honor the passing of beloved pets. The poem, I Loved You Best, by Jim Willis is a moving tribute. There are no local pet grief support groups at this time. The closest resources of that kind are in the Chicago or Madison areas. I’m really going to miss Buckley. He was my boy. Now comes the hardest part of our time together: saying goodbye. R. Ed’s note: Buckley was laid to rest Friday, June 29. John and his family say there were sad to lose him but are happy he is at peace.

Women in horror: Victims no more By Beth Younger

The Conversation

t the end of this year’s Cannes Film Festival, actress Jessica Chastain – who was serving as a jury member – said that she found the portrayals of women in the festival’s films “quite disturbing.” To many, this isn’t exactly news. The lack of women in film – in front of and behind the camera – has been at the forefront of Hollywood criticism in recent years, with scholars and writers detailing the various ways women tend to be underrepresented or cast in stereotypical roles. University of Southern California communications professor Stacy Smith, who researches depictions of gender and race in film and TV, found that of the 5,839 characters in the 129 top-grossing films released between 2006 and 2011, fewer than 30 percent were girls or women. Meanwhile, only 50 percent of films fulfill the criteria of the Bechdel Test, which asks whether a film features at least two women who talk to each other about something other than a man. Despite the uphill climb for women in film, it isn’t all doom and gloom. Horror is one genre where women are taking on increasingly prominent parts. Yes, screaming is still a staple feature of a scary flick. But women are assuming central roles – not as victims, but as monsters and heroes.

Bucking the trend

Each year, the Geena Davis Institute on Gender and Media publishes research that shows how gender imbalances in

film affects women and girls. For example, they’ve found that positive and prominent roles for women in movies “motivate women to be more ambitious” professionally and personally. But when there is a dearth of women being depicted in positive ways, it has an opposite, negative effect. A recent study by Google and the Geena Davis Institute studied this phenomenon across genres. They developed something called “the GD-IQ” (Geena Davis Inclusion Quotient), which is facilitated by machine-learning technology. The goal was to recognize patterns in gender, screen time and speaking time that the casual movie viewer might overlook. The results of this study told a familiar story: In film, men are seen and heard twice as often as women. But there was one exception: horror films.

A horror renaissance

In a way, this makes sense. A recent Guardian article describes how women have historically been drawn to the genre. Many beloved horror films have strong female leads: “Carrie,” “The Descent” and “The Witch,” to name a few. Horror, of course, has always been interested in women; Traditionally women and girls are victims of crazed killers or of monsters. They scream a lot. Yet the terms have changed along with the times, and a horror renaissance seems to have been taking place over the past decade. The genre has moved from taking pleasure in victimizing women to focus-

Actress Anya Taylor-Joy plays Thomasin in 2015’s The Witch. A24 ing on women as survivors and protagonists. It’s veered away from slashers and torture porn to more substantive, nuanced films that comment on social issues and possess an aesthetic vision. Earlier this year, Jordan Peele’s “Get Out” became a major box-office smash; as it skewered racial politics, it also made a beautiful, young white woman the evil antagonist. In 2015, Robert Egger’s historical horror film “The Witch” was a surprise hit. With a 91 percent fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes, “The Witch” captured audiences by being a historically accurate tale that included a feminist twist. Set in Puritan America, a teenage protagonist, Thomasin, battles her parents and siblings, who assume she’s become a witch, faulting her for all the misfortunes that befall the family. Of course she’s simply a teenage girl – a dangerous creature, the film seems to be saying, in a culture controlled by men. “Get Out” and “The Witch” join a host of other horror films with women as central characters: “Stoker,” “Under the Skin,” “Rec,” “The Conjuring,” “Ginger Snaps,” “American Mary,” “Jennifer’s Body” and “You’re Next.”

Changing the narrative

For decades, sexually active women in horror movies tend to die first as punishment for sexual transgression. We see this in “Halloween,” “Friday the 13th,” “The Texas Chain Saw Massacre” and “A Nightmare on Elm Street.” “It Follows” (2015) upends this narrative. Maika Monroe stars as Jay, a young woman who battles an unseen and unknown predator after having

sex with a date. But “It Follows” isn’t interested in punishing Jay – or any other female character – for having sex. One critic makes an intriguing case that “It Follows” actually critiques rape culture by highlighting the trauma of how rape survivors are often treated by culture, friends and family. This creepy and critically acclaimed horror film allows Jay to be the girl we all wish we could be: She investigates, fights back against the predator and ultimately prevails. Even old and seemingly worn-out franchises are being rebooted with female leads. The original “Amityville Horror” (1979) capitalized on the true story of a house in Amityville, New York. The tale of a disintegrating nuclear family terrorized by a haunted house spawned 12 sequels, prequels and continuations. But this summer audiences may get to see yet another addition to the Amityville oeuvre; “Amityville: The Awakening” stars Jennifer Jason Leigh and Bella Thorne as a single mother and her daughter who must endure life in the infamous house. The poster for the movie features an image of Bella Thorne superimposed over the house, suggesting that she is more important (and more powerful) than the terrifying home. As the role of women in other realms of our society continues to grow, it’s only fitting that they do the same in horror movies. With the massive box-office success of “Wonder Woman,” the hope is that other genres will soon enough take horror’s lead and embrace women as protagonists, heroes and maybe even the occasional witch, too.

Comedy that cites its sources By Paula Hendrickson

Contributor

n this newfound era of “fake news” it’s more important than ever for reporters to cite their sources. But leave it to an informational comedy series to actually display those sources on screen. Each episode of TruTV’s Adam Ruins Everything—returning Tuesday, July 11 for its second season—explores three misconceptions tied to a common theme. “The show is very broadly this idea that you think you know X, but I’ll tell you why it’s a common misconception,” show creator and star Adam Conover told me a couple months ago. “The subject matter of the show is anything we can think more deeply about, anything we can look into and find out what the truth is. Anything,” he says. “ It’s not the topics that are as important as much as the method by which we explore those topics and the way we search for the information and the way we present it.” Conover says the ideal episode will

“The reason we started doing that was because I was like, ‘Who’s going to believe me? I’m a comedian who reads a lot of articles and listens to a lot of podcasts, that’s all I am.’”

have three individual stories that make the case for a larger argument. Arguments that could change how the audience thinks—not what they think, but how they think. It’s basically Critical Thinking 101. “Our goal is to really give people that 180-degree turn in how they see the world and make them see the world differently,” Conover says. Skepticism in encouraged. Each segment is structured like a classic argumentative essay: “We have a thesis, we have our evidence to prove it, and we

have our conclusion,” says the host. “It’s also a comedy piece, so we have to write funny jokes.” The challenge is that each joke needs to illustrate and heighten the information presented right before it. The show’s writers and research team fact check, cite and review every fact that goes into every episode. Sources are noted right on the screen so viewers can check them, and in true academic fashion, a bibliography for each episode is posted on the “Adam’s Sources” section of the show’s official website. “The reason we started doing that was because I was like, ‘Who’s going to believe me? I’m a comedian who reads a lot of articles and listens to a lot of podcasts, that’s all I am.’ But I want people to know it’s true,” Conover says. “I think it’s really important that when people hear a fact that they see up in the corner of the screen, New York Times or Nature: The Journal, and the year, so they can go find it.” Doing so allows him to keep things civil with fans who might disagree with the show’s findings. If someone objects

to one of the show’s sources, Conover invites them to explain why and offer an alternate source. Adam Ruins Everything also seeks to expose the ways bad information spreads. “One of the theses of our show is that people are not rational. In our best selves we are, but in our lesser moments or in our more normal moments we’re susceptible to advertising and bad information, and to manipulation—and there are people using those tools to manipulate us and get us to do what they want,” Conover says. “I don’t want to give away any upcoming episodes, but in the new season we are talking about how some of the bad information we’ve all become familiar with in the last year got out there and spread.”

Programming notes

Season 2 of Adam Ruins Everything premieres Tuesday, July 11 at 9 p.m. on TruTV. View full episodes online at trutv. com/shows/adam-ruins-everything/ index.html. R.

FILM REVIEW

Bay just can’t get out of his own way BY THOMAS SIMPSON

CONTRIBUTOR

t’s been ten years since Michael Bay first brought Transformers to the big screen. Keeping in the spirit of its origin, the film was a near two and half hour toy advert that hit parents in both pockets with the shiny new cars on display. Despite this shameless shilling, Transformers was a lot of fun with brilliant special e�ects that showcased giant robots fighting superbly. Then came a dismal run of sequels that ranged from the awful, the forgettable and the headache inducing. The fifth and latest installment, Transformers: The Last Knight is an improvement, but just. It’s more exciting that Age of Extinction but di�cult to recall anything of worth such is the amount of mythology and plot (No, really.) that is crammed into its 149 minutes runtime. We kick o� in 484 AD, where Merlin (Stanley Tucci) of King Arthur lore has forged an alliance with some ancient Transformers. He’s given an all-powerful sta� which becomes the McGu�n for our present day players. Optimus Prime (Peter Cullen) returns but he’s been

brainwashed by his maker Quintessa (Gemma Chan) who wants to destroy arch enemy Unicron, also known as Earth. The ﬁlm is full-throttle from start to ﬁnish as Bay barely gives us time to digest what’s going on. New characters are thrown into the mix and glossed over making me wonder if I’m supposed to already know who they are. The

Transformers backstory is expanded into a bloated mess with Quintessa being the latest in a line of new villains that are underdeveloped and had me asking where’s Megatron? A ﬁlm about massive alien robots smashing each other could be forgiven for its lack of coherent plot as there’s a good chance we’ve turned up for the former. The ﬁrst half hour of The Last

Knight was as good as the sequels have been as human protagonist Cade Yeager (Mark Walhlberg) finds himself hunted by Decepticons and a Transformers hunting Black Ops group. The battles here are tremendous and surprisingly grounded. They’ll later mesh into an ultra-destructive mesh of CGI and explosions, most notably in the finale. A lot of the humor misfires and Bay’s objectification of his female lead, Laura Haddock as Vivian, isn’t going to win him any new fans. Haddock puts in a fine performance and does the best she can with the material given. Wahlberg phones it in, perhaps making it clear this will be his last film while the Transformers themselves are stripped of their characterization, most notably the once fun and adorable Bumblebee, who will be getting his own spino� movie. The Last Knight is far from a good film but it isn’t as terrible as many are making out. The early action sequences are exciting and the scene that has Megatron (now voiced by Frank Welker) negotiating his Decepticons release with lawyers is highly humorous. Arguably the best of the sequels, the fifth film falls way below the standards of the first. An entire TV show’s worth of plot and development is shoehorned into a feature film that is best viewed with your brain switched o�, not that this is easy due to the flagrant exposition that the audience is subjected to. It may be Wahlberg and Bay’s last ride, but with a sixth film planned and a mid-credits stinger, the story isn’t over yet. Whether the franchise can go out on a high before its inevitable reboot remains to be seen, with a fresh start becoming more desirable with each sequel. R.

Rockford region ice cream journey By Anna Martensen

Buckle up because you are about to get a whole lot of scoops on where to go for some ice cream. I am what they call an “ice cream addict.” I wouldn’t be opposed to eating ice cream for breakfast, lunch AND dinner. I will admit, I do have a slight problem. I tried to give ice cream up for Lent but every time I opened my freezer, or passed an ice cream shop, it seemed as if all the ice cream would call my name. Just remember, I take this topic very seriously. Serious enough to eat ice cream for all three meals. So, I chose three local ice cream shops and embarked on a journey that I have only dreamed of.

Breakfast

I chose the famous Dari Fair (2813 Klburn Ave.,Rockford). Now, since it is summer, we have to take advantage of Dari Fair, due to it only having seasonal summer hours. I know what you are thinking, “Who eats breakfast at 11 in the morning?” But you have to understand two things: I just graduated from college, and it’s summer. Having just graduated from college, I am guilty of still being on college time. College gives you the opportunity to sleep past your alarm on any

day of the week. Summer time is when kids not only get to stay up late but they get to sleep in later. What could possibly be better than waking up late AND eating ice cream for breakfast? Dairy Fair offers more than just ice cream. I was tempted to grab one of their classic hot dogs, but having already planned my ice cream adventure, I couldn’t go against the rules. I ordered a delicious twist cone. In my eyes, twist cones are underrated. Nothing compares to when you taste the sweet chocolate and sugary vanilla at the same time. It is life changing. If you aren’t in love with ice cream, like myself, you can always order food such as burgers, hot dogs, and fries. Either way, I highly suggest you grab a shake or a twist cone to go along with your meal. One of my favorite things about Dari Fair was the seating arrangements. They provide their customers with seating outside under umbrellas, which are the key to success when it comes to protecting yourself and your ice cream from the sun. It is also nice when you can sit down and enjoy your ice cream, instead of having to scarf it down before it melts all over your hands, clothes, face, etc.

Lunch

I went with the one and only, Dairy

Depot (5412 N. 2nd St., Loves Park). REMEMBER that they only accept cash!!! Dairy Depot’s menu was filled with various ice cream concoctions such as a strawberry cheesecake sundae, brownie sundae, dirt sundae, root beer floats and frozen yogurt. I decided to step out of the box and choose the “grasshopper parfait.” Since I am familiar with fruit parfaits and their nutritious value, I was sold on this specific ice cream creation. It was so delicious that my boyfriend got the same exact thing. This was an unusual situation because normally when we go out for ice cream we order something different. Since he fell in love with the ice cream I ordered, he chose the same thing. The grasshopper parfait was filled with hot fudge (who doesn’t love hot fudge?), mint ice cream, dinner mint pieces AND whip cream. It was equivalent to heaven in a cup. There was a perfect amount of each ingredient, which made it more enjoyable. Dairy Depot’s seating was very accommodating. They had more than one option when it came to eating your ice cream outside. You could either sit at tables that were directly in the sun so you could soak up some vitamin D, sit at tables under a large tent, or sit on benches covered by trees. When the sun is shining bright, I recommend you sit in the tables underneath the tent. Your ice cream will not melt as fast, and you still get to enjoy the beautiful weather.

Dinner

Dari Fair

Dinner time came fast but I was beyond excited to eat more ice cream, so I finished at La Michoacana Homemade Ice Cream shop (609 Kishwaukee St., Rockford). If you want to experience a different culture, this is the place to go. It was a cool experience because their ice cream was homemade. They offer unique Mexican flavors that will zap your taste buds. When you first go in you will realize that the whole menu is in Spanish. I kept it simple by ordering Mexican vanilla ice cream,

Grasshopper parfait from Dairy Depot and let me tell you, it was delicious. Their vanilla ice cream was very different from the vanilla ice cream I was familiar with. It not only tasted different but the texture was more of a liquid than a solid. There were many options to choose from such as: fresh fruit water, cream popsicles, water fruit popsicles, sweet fruit salad, sweet fruit salad and ice cream, yogurt parfaits, and juice. If you are really feeling like a risk-taker you need to try their avocado ice cream that has chili sprinkled on it. That is next on my list of things to try. One thing that La Michoacana lacked was outdoor seating. Outdoor seating is always nice when you are eating your ice cream although, indoor seating with an air-conditioned area may be the most beneficial. Ice cream is always better when it stays in its form instead of turning into liquid instantly. Nothing beats being with your best friend and eating ice cream all day long. If it is a sunny day, eating ice cream is a must. Find more ice cream and sweet treats at gorockford.com/sweet.w

The full moon July 9 in Capricorn provides us with the energy to get the job done and get the job done right. This resonates with the sun in Cancer and allows us to find a way to collaborate career and family in a productive light. Mercury enters Leo July 5-July 25 supporting communication with a persuasive appeal. Venus enters Gemini July 4-July 31 encouraging us to try new things and stretch our self set limitations. With planetary influence like these you realize that you don’t have to be the absolute best at something to simply enjoy it. With that said, enjoy!

Aries

Travel is evident during this lunar cycle providing you with the opportunity to mix business with pleasure. Be open and receptive to an impromptu gathering where unexpected yet valuable connections are formed. If you’re tempted to push the speed limit or “California roll” through a stop sign, think again; you don’t need a ticket to complicate your hectic schedule during this lunar cycle, Aries.

Taurus

It’s all fine and dandy to pretend all is well until it isn’t. Avoiding the obvious distress of a loved one’s emotional and physical condition will only lead to a tragic event if not properly addressed in the near future. A physician or counselor is needed to get to the root of the underlying cause. Wishing it away isn’t working, Taurus.

Gemini

Venus, the planet of love and beauty, enters your sign July 4 and remains there through July 31. Take advantage of this support system to obtain your personal goals. Self-employed or self-contracted career opportunities are evident during this lunar cycle. Go for it, Gemini!

Cancer

Transitions with home and property

can be a little bit stressful. However, this lunar cycle shows promise with all things surrounding the home environment. The full moon weekend (July 8-9) in Capricorn provides you with plenty of muscle mass to complete those annoying tasks you’re concerned about. Then you can consider tackling your next career move, Cancer.

Leo

Your lackluster energy and irritability is becoming increasingly evident to your loved ones surrounding you. It may be time to consider the help of a physician or counselor to stabilize the roller coaster of emotions and fatigue you’re battling with. It’s obvious to everyone a deeper issue is at the bottom of it all. Although the majority will agree that the past should remain in the past, sometimes we need to revisit it to understand the present, Leo.

Virgo

You may feel as though unwanted anxiety has arrived for no apparent reason and is taking over your life. Take a step backwards and attempt to figure out exactly when and why this arrived when it did. You will find that about a month ago significant exchanges of energy with a member from your past planted the seeds for this aspect to erupt. As a result of this you appear off balance. By week’s end you will find the tools to rid yourself of this pressure. You will be all the wiser for it, Virgo.

Libra

Public acclaim and recognition arrives with the support of a colleague who really wants you to succeed in your field. They know that your abilities are priceless and rate second to none with the service you provide. This may provide some opportunities to travel in the future as well. Mixing business with pleasure is always a delightful experience, Libra.

Scorpio

The full moon in Capricorn will support your ability to expand upon your career sector. Keep your finger on the pulse of your community and expect some financial gain from unexpected sources. Legal contracts, documents and

paperwork provide you with additional support. An emotional outburst of another is a matter of concern, Scorpio.

Sagittarius

Finances are fantastic during the month of July so expect to be caught up with those annoying bills quickly. Be cautious around the full moon on July 9 as travel or communication could be compromised somehow. Have a backup plan to support your destination or documents during this lunar cycle. An unexpected loss could be disturbing for a loved one at week’s end. Be prepared to offer your emotional support, Sag.

Capricorn

A long-drawn-out legal document or contract negotiation is finally coming to a close at this time. You will know where you stand and as a result of that you will be able to move forward into a new path in life. You may find the humanitarian approach fits you the best. Involving yourself with those of like mind and hearts will bring out the best in you, Capricorn.

Aquarius

There is nothing wrong with standing up for yourself and your emotions this week. Stay very conscious of keeping the facts straight. Do not allow another to throw you off course with their insecurities or tantrums. This will not accomplish anything but more heartache. Once you lay down the law you should expect to see results. No matter how it appears you are in a stronger position than you can envision now, Aquarius.

Pisces

Taking some time out for a little rest and relaxation is just what the doctor ordered at this time. Your hectic schedule combined with family stress can take a toll on your physical and emotional condition. A fresh start arrives later this month with an opportunity for a self-employed or self-contracted position that will enhance your pocket book. Be open and receptive to new ideas, Pisces.

Don’t Fall Victim to Financial Distress Caused by Credit Card Debt Credit counseling is the easiest, most effective way to explore the options for credit card debt and identify the best solution for your needs.

HIGH MONTHLY CREDIT CARD PAYMENTS combined with even higher interest rates can make it almost impossible to maintain control over your credit card debt. Even with your monthly payments you may not see much of a reduction in debt no matter what you do. What’s more, as your credit card balances increase, it can also cause problems for your budget – you end up juggling bills, choosing between expenses, and putting off important purchases. Luckily, there’s a way you can find the solution that works for your unique financial situation – and even better, it won’t cost a thing to get the information you need. CREDIT COUNSELING IS THE EASIEST, MOST EFFECTIVE WAY TO EXPLORE THE OPTIONS FOR CREDIT CARD DEBT AND IDENTIFY THE BEST SOLUTION FOR YOUR NEEDS. Speak with a certified credit counselor at no charge to analyze your debt and budget. They will review your options to see what solutions may work best for you. Your credit counselor may be able to

lower high interest rates or even eliminate them while consolidating your credit card debts into one easy payment through a debt management program.

It’s the fastest and easiest way to get professional financial advice without adding more debt to do so. Get Out of Debt Faster As a result of those lower interest rates – more of your monthly payments go toward your debt instead of adding more interest – which means you can get out of debt faster. Every financial situation is different, but most people see their total monthly debt payments reduced by up to 30 to 50 percent as they get out of debt faster. The program is usually completed in around 40-60 payments, so you can be debt-free in just a few years instead of taking decades to eliminate everything you owe. Build a Positive Credit History Additionally, consolidating debtthrough a certified credit counseling service may help save your credit score from additional damage. You stop future penalties and prevent further damage from missed payments and overdrawn credit lines. Even better, as you work your way through the program, you’re able to build a positive credit history while reducing your overall debt level. As

a result, some people see their credit score even increase over the course of their time with a credit counseling service. FREEDOM FROM DEBT IS POSSIBLE! Don’t spend another sleepless night worrying about your debt problems, or another day stressed about your bills instead of focused on your family and life.

CROSSWORD

Controlling Japanese Beetles BY GRANT MCCARTY CONTRIBUTOR

Last week, I was at a farm in the Rockford area and saw for the ﬁrst time this season Japanese Beetles. The adult form is an emerald green beetle that emerges from the soil in late June to feed in July and August. Due to the rain we have had this last week, it is no surprise that the insect is right on time when it comes to becoming a nuisance. The adult form can be a fairly generalist insect, eating many di�erent types of plants. You may ﬁnd that they like certain vegetation more than others. I saw the beetles on the fern of the asparagus last week but have seen it take a liking to grape leaves, cucumbers, roses, and tomatoes. In most cases, they will not eat the fruit. During this infestation period, the adults will lay eggs in the soil where the grubs will feed on roots and decaying matter into the fall and winter. As temperatures get colder, the grubs move downward and overwinter. In the springtime, pupation will occur and adults will emerge again. Each year can be di�erent for Japanese Beetle populations. While the winters of 2014 and 2015 were cold, this year’s winter was not cold enough so I expected that the population would

easily survive this winter. For control of Japanese Beetles, you have a couple of options. Some growers/ backyard growers will use a Japanese Beetle trap to lure the beetle populations away from what they are growing. These can work up to a certain point as by luring them away, you’ll have a large population that you need to control. They also may not work well. If using the trap, you want it to be more than 50 feet away from the crop you are hoping to protect. In most cases, these traps will lure many more beetles than you would have had otherwise. Some growers will knock beetles from their plants into a bucket of soapy water early in the morning. The beetles further drown in this water. Depending on how many plants you have, this can be a fairly reliable solution. Japanese beetles are attracted to plants that have already had some defoliation from them as they release a hormone. Chemical solutions are available, but for many, the easiest solution can be hand picking. 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.

Hononegah’s Granath among Rivets bright spots By Mark Schaer

For The Rock River Times

ack Granath, a 2013 Hononegah high graduate, is among some of the returning players for the Rockford Rivets this year. He is also among the standouts on the young season. After an opening night loss to Kalamazoo on May 30, Granath has quickly found his rhythm as a starter in the Rivets’ rotation. Since then, he has recorded four straight victories to lead Rockford in wins and sit tied for second place in the league with a record of 4-1. His ERA is impressive, too, checking in at just 2.82. Granath is among of a number of players on Rockford’s roster who are sure to impress fans this season. For the second consecutive year, a player who was just in the College World Series will join the Rivets. Louisiana State’s Zach Watson, a speedy utility player with some pop on the end of his bat, will be one of the last players to come to town. Watson was instrumental in LSU’s run to the CWS, and he made headlines when he had back-to-back two-home run games in the Regional playoffs. He finished the season with a .317 batting average, and had nine home runs with 37 RBI. The Rivets are seeing former players have plenty of success, too. David Cronin (Illinois-Chicago) and Hunter Hargrove (Texas Tech) were both on the Rivets’ roster last summer and are making their first steps to the Major Leagues. Cronin, drafted in the 20th round by

the White Sox, is playing in the Arizona League and could not be more excited for the opportunity to work his way to the big leagues. “It was incredible… it was unreal to hear my name called that day,” Cronin said. “I can’t believe it happened.” Hargrove was taken in the 25th round by the Oakland Athletics. He too has already begun playing down in Arizona for the Athletics’ affiliate team. Hargrove

<<< From Back Cover For one thing, it was played when the series got back to Boston. And as one story goes, Red Sox owner Harry Frazee was so impressed with the way the song quieted rowdy fans that the next season that he ordered the band to play it while the flag was presented on the field. “It was a turning point and from then on it was played at all opening days and World Series games,” Leeke said. The song was played just on holidays or special occasions for years, in part because ballparks didn’t have the kind of sound systems they do today and owners were loath to pay for a band more than they had to. It wasn’t until the 1940s during World War II that major league teams started playing it every day. Ironically, Cubs owner P.K. Wrigley decided the song would be played only on major holidays and for special events. “Wrigley thought it cheapened the anthem to play it every day,” said Marc Ferris, author of “Star-Spangled Banner: The Unlikely Story of America’s National Anthem.” In 1967, the Cubs put the song on

the daily playlist, a patriotic gesture during yet another war, this one in Vietnam. On a recent day at Wrigley, fans stood as one for the anthem. “It still sends a chill down my back,” said 90-year-old Victor Holliday of Champaign, Illinois, his time as a Marine during World War II written right there on his red cap. The respect for the song was not lost on his son, who recalled the Vietnam war era when the anthem was not always warmly received. “It changed radically after 9/11,” said Shawn Holliday, 58. “And even today, with so many differences in the country, so much division, I think we again are falling back for comfort on these kinds of symbols.” And if anyone did not show the proper respect for the song, others in the stadium were ready. “Come on, they can cool it for a minute and a half and put down their phones,” said Wayne Messmer, who has sung the anthem nearly 5,000 times over more than three decades of performing, most notably before Cubs games at Wrigley. “I will stare people down if they are talking when I’m singing.”

said, “It was really exciting seeing my name run across the draft tracker. I worked very hard to get to this moment and it was a very awesome feeling getting picked by the A’s.” There are even former Rivets players staying a little closer to home to play professional ball. Ricardo Ramirez (Illinois-Chicago) and Josh Hauser (Tennessee-Martin), a local from

Belvidere, both signed contracts with the Traverse City Beach Bums of the Frontier League. Drake Robison (Iowa), a Harlem alumnus, signed on with the Windy City Thunderbolts. Ryan Long (Texas Tech) also signed on to the Frontier League, for the Evansville Otters. Rockford’s success with past players should not come as a surprise to fans who have made it out to Rivets Stadium within the past two years. Although they narrowly missed the playoffs last year, Rockford is poised for the postseason this summer. The Rivets currently sit in sole possession of fourth place in the South Division, and have seen big crowds and exciting games as they move into the middle part of the season. On June 24, when the Rivets honored local heroes with First Responders Night, the young franchise saw a record crowd with over 2,000 fans making their way to Rivets Stadium for the nighttime game.

1918 World Series key to US love affair with national anthem By Don Babwin Assocaited Press

CHICAGO — Eighty-one times per year, the crowd at Wrigley Field is asked to stand and “gentlemen” reminded to remove their caps for the playing of “The Star Spangled Banner.” Fans who can recite the words as easily as the alphabet will sing or listen to the story of a flag that continued to wave throughout one of the most famous battles in American history. What they may not know is that Francis Scott Key, apparently better at lyrics than melody, put his description of the battle of Fort McHenry to an old English tune that had a lot less to do with patriotism than it did with booze and women. Or that this year marks the 100th season since the song was played for the first time at a World Series game — an event that helped cement it in the national consciousness and become the national anthem that is now simply assumed to be part of game day in American sports, from Little League to the Super Bowl to medal ceremonies at the Olympics. “Certainly the outpouring of sentiment, enthusiasm, and patriotism at the 1918 World Series went a long way to making

the (song) the national anthem,” said John Thorn, Major League Baseball’s official historian. On September 5, 1918, newspapers were dominated by news of World War I, including the latest American dead. In Chicago, one of the headlines read, “Chicagoans on the List,” and it was a particularly harrowing moment in the city for another reason: Someone, possibly self-proclaimed anarchists and labor activists, had the day before tossed a bomb into a downtown federal building and post office, killing four people and injuring dozens more. The World Series was in town, with the Cubs hosting Babe Ruth and the Boston Red Sox. The Chicago games were played at Comiskey Park, the home of the White Sox, instead of their new home at Wrigley Field, what was called Weegham Park at the time, because it held more fans. But in a city jittery over the bombing and weary from the war, Game 1 that day attracted fewer than 20,000 fans, the smallest World Series crowd in years. When they got there, they didn’t make much noise, though that could have had something to do with the 1-0 masterpiece

Ruth was pitching — yes, pitching — for the Red Sox. “There was no cheering during the contest, nor was there anything like the usual umpire baiting,” reported one Boston newspaper. Then, in the seventh inning, a band from the Navy training station north of Chicago started to play “The Star Spangled Banner.” The song had been played before at major league games, from at least 1862 and on opening day in 1897, in Philadelphia, Thorn said. But this time, reported The New York Times, something happened that was “far different from any incident that has ever occurred in the history of baseball.” Players took off their caps as they faced a flag that fluttered atop a pole in right field as the 12-piece band began to play. All of them except Red Sox infielder Fred Thomas . Thomas was in the Navy during the series — he played on the team fielded by the Great Lakes station that was also home to the band — but was granted furlough so he could play. When the Wisconsin native heard the music, “he turned toward the flag, kept his hat on and gave a military salute,” said Jim Leeke, author of “From the Dugouts to the Trenches: Baseball During the Great War.” A few fans began to sing. Then others joined in “and when the final notes came, a great volume of melody rolled across the field,” the Times reported. And when

it ended, “onlookers exploded into thunderous applause and rent the air with a cheer that marked the highest point of the day’s enthusiasm.” The Red Sox went on to win the game and the series, part of a Cubs’ championship drought that ended up lasting 108 years but was a mere decade old in 1918. Not everyone thought what happened was a big deal. Chicago sportswriter Ring Lardner mentioned it, but only as a punch line as he reported that Thomas had stood at attention three times during the game, once during the anthem and twice when the umpire was calling him out on strikes. The leader of the Navy band at the time was conductor and composer John Philip Sousa. He was not at the game, but had recently arranged the standardized version of the song that is still played today The 1918 World Series would have been one of the first times the band could test drive the new version, according to Mike Bayes, senior chief musician for the Navy Band in Washington. “It was a very important thing for him to put the anthem on a national stage in its new form,” Bayes said. It wasn’t until 1931 that Congress and President Herbert Hoover officially designated the song as the national anthem. Still, it was clear the song was on its way after that day in Chicago.
