MAKING PROGRESS

City

Cliffbreakers, Amerock redevelopments underway

By Jim Hagerty Contributor

ROCKFORD — The work to give Cliffbreakers a $2.5 million facelift has begun on the city’s northwest side.

The redevelopment started in June and is being covered by a city-backed HUD Section 108 loan in the amount of $3 million. According to a news release from Rock River Bridge Hotel LLC and Aries Capital, the project will make improvements while preserving amenities that made the facility a premier restaurant, hotel and conference center.

The long-awaited project was delayed after a New’s Year’s Eve shooting took the life of a Wisconsin man. The incident prompted city leaders to revisit Cliffbreakers’ security plan as it was the second gun-related incident in recent months.

“It’s time for us to freshen our face and give the hotel and ballrooms a much more contemporary look, while keeping its captivating old-world structural decor,” Aries President Neil Freeman said.

Freeman said improvements will be made inside and outside the facility, including a new bar, carpeting, lighting and decking.

“We’re excited to see Cliffbreakers advance their construction,” Mayor Tom McNamara said Tuesday. “It’s a longstanding asset on our northwest side.”

The project is the first since the property went into foreclosure in 2012. The upgrade is expected to be completed in February.

• A few miles down river, workers are prepping the exterior of the Amerock building, the downtown space tapped as a 150-plus room Embassy Suites by Wisconsin-based developer Gorman & Company.

Crews began Monday removing loose concrete to prepare the building for inspection, the mayor’s office said.

Amerock had become a project littered with delays as the economic landscape and capital stack for the $77 million facility changed.

Don Bissell, a founding member of Friends of the Ziock Building (FOZ), laid the initial groundwork for the hotel, landing the building on National Register of Historic Places. From there, FOZ courted a number of developers. Gorman came to the table with the best plan.

“This started with a lunch meeting at Octane,” Bissell said Tuesday. “And that

meeting, of course, led to others with Gorman and their team. We’ve been able to work very closely with them over the course of this.”

Bissell says he’s happy with the look of the final project, one that took shape over a number of years and changes. One involved a full-service Amtrak station complete with an attached parking deck.

Those plans were nixed when Gov. Bruce Rauner killed the funding for the Amtrak proposal in 2015.

Bissell believes even without the train, seeing the project move forward means a major step in downtown’s redevelopment.

“We think this is all pretty spectacular.

There’s been a lot of work that’ll start showing itself over the next couple years.

The whole waterfront will look different in a couple years.”

Gorman and city officials were in a race against the clock to see the building grandfathered in under a set of historical tax credits set to expire at the end of this year. The state legislature has re-certified that tax credit program, but it’s still waiting for a signature on Rauner’s desk.

A vote in the final days of Mayor Larry Morrisey’s administration gave Gorman the green light to go ahead with the hotel.

The developer secured financing last week that allowed preliminary work to begin Monday.

The mayor’s office had said they had little concern over the timeline of the project. “If it gets to October and nothing’s been done, then I’ll start to have some worries,” Mayor McNamara told The Times in a conversation earlier this month.

Bissell adds that any concerns he had about working with Gorman were put to bed over the duration of the project coming together.

“I come from a big company—a big industry, the aerospace industry. This is one of the most professional groups I’ve ever seen assembled to a person,” Bissell commented. “We’ve seen their work on a number of projects in Milwaukee. We’ve been very impressed.”

Gorman hopes to start turning dirt this fall. The total rebuild is expected to last two years and create hundreds of construction jobs. R.

HEALTH

Coverage of pediatric autoimmune disorders required CHICAGO — Illinois became the first state in the country on Tuesday to enact a law requiring insurers to cover medical treatment for two pediatric autoimmune disorders.

Illinois Governor Bruce Rauner signed “Charlie’s Law,” which will provide coverage for treatments for Pediatric Autoimmune Neuropsychiatric Disorders Associated with Strep (PANDAS) and Pediatric Acute-Onset Neuropsychiatric Syndrome (PANS).

PANDAS patients su�er from obsessive compulsive and tic disorders following a strep infection, while PANS patients suddenly develop obsessive compulsive disorder and other psychiatric symptoms without a known cause, according to the National Institute of Mental Health.

“It will help numerous other families in the state,” Wendy Nawara, of the PANDAS/ PANS Advocacy & Support group, said in an interview. “We’re going to see other states

follow suit.”

One in 200 children in the United States su�ers from one of the disorders, according to PANDAS Network, an advocate group.

One treatment can cost up to $15,000, Nawara said. Treatment guidelines for the disorders are expected to be published on Wednesday, advocates said.

A representative from the Illinois Department of Insurance did not immediately provide comment on the new law.

Nawara and Kate Drury, also an advocacy and support group board member, both have sons diagnosed with PANDAS named Charlie, the law’s namesake. They first talked to state senator Tom Cullerton, a Democrat, about the issue four years ago.

“We could not have done this without all of the moms and all of the families who are advocating for their children to find an end to this,” Cullerton said at the law signing at Drury’s home.

What comes next after the 2-year budget battle?

BY PHIL CICIORA U OF I NEWS BUREAU

Christopher Z. Mooney is the former director of the Institute of Government and Public A�airs at the University of Illinois and currently the W. Russell Arrington Professor of State Politics on the Springfield campus. He spoke with News Bureau business and law editor Phil Ciciora about the aftermath of Illinois’ fiscal hangover.

After more than 700 days without a budget, the state of Illinois finally has one.

Is this a better-late-than-never situation, or is it more encouraging than that?

It’s better than not having a budget, that’s for sure, but this is certainly not the end of the state’s problems. Is it the beginning of the end or the end of the beginning? We don’t know.

The state has some massive financial problems as well as some major political problems. This wasn’t the kind of resolution that engenders a lot of problem solving going forward. It’s another battle in an ongoing war between Gov. Bruce Rauner and the Legislature.

Several other states have tried the financial brinksmanship strategy of holding state budgets hostage until the last minute or until after the deadline has passed. (New Jersey and Maine immediately come to mind.) Do you see this as a strategy that will be repeated in the future?

It’s not unusual for July 1 to roll around with a few states going over their budget deadline. For a long time, the state of New York would routinely go past their deadline by a week or two or even a month.

Policymakers are human beings and, like most human beings, they don’t want to make hard decisions. And budgets entail making hard decisions even when times are good, because there’s never enough money for what everyone wants the state to do.

What is unusual is the state of Illinois going so long without a budget. What typically happens is, after the deadline passes, the governor declares an emergency, shuts the government down, causes pain and then uses the bully pulpit to browbeat the legislature into getting, more or less, what the governor wants. That’s why you had New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie closing down the state parks this month – and most of the Jersey shore is in state parks. That gets people’s attention very quickly.

But since 2015, Gov. Rauner has done the exact opposite of that. He kept the government open, sued in court to ensure that state workers got paid and, in 2015, signed the K-12 education bill that allowed public schools to open. If the public schools don’t open, any sort of budget crisis would last

about 20 minutes because you would have every parent in the state screaming about getting their kid back in school.

Rauner has done a very skillful job of keeping the government up and running on chewing gum and baling wire. But to what end? To avoid an inevitable tax increase?

To e�ect really dramatic changes in state government?

He’s definitely taken a very di�erent approach than other governors have. But going two fiscal years without a budget is something for the record books. I think you chalk it up as another “Only in Illinois” moment.

In Illinois’ current political climate, how di�cult will it be to address the school funding issue, which is a separate issue from the budget?

The school funding formula in Illinois has forever been a contentious issue and it’s likely to remain so unless we fundamentally change our approach to funding our schools. So it’s never an easy lift.

The Legislature has passed SB 1, the school funding reform bill, but the governor has indicated that he doesn’t want to sign it due to provisions that he feels unduly help Chicago Public Schools. If he doesn’t sign it, the state can’t send the money to the schools, which means that many, most or all public schools in Illinois won’t open in August. It depends on the individual district’s finances, but even the wealthiest school district wouldn’t be able to stay open long without state money.

So does the governor refuse to sign the bill and create this intense pressure of closed public schools to get what he wants, or does he sign it to avoid the blame for schools not opening? Or does he do some sort of parliamentary maneuver that puts the onus back on the Legislature? It’s an open question.

Is it only a matter of time before we have another bond rating downgrade, this time to “junk” status? What would be likely reaction to that? A shoulder shrug?

I don’t think a downgrade is a foregone conclusion. If the Legislature and the governor decide to move forward to improve the state’s financial issues, maybe we can avoid it. But neither side seems to be in a conciliatory mood today.

Another notch down to junk – I don’t think anyone wants to be responsible for that, and it would have an immediate negative e�ect. Not only would it cost more to borrow, but the pool of borrowers would be smaller because a lot of big retirement funds and other institutional investors can’t invest in junk bonds or other speculative financial instruments. So, it would be more expensive to borrow, but from a political angle, it would be very embarrassing for the state and for any politicians who would get blamed for it.

The bottom line is that fixing the major problems that Illinois has – both in policy and in finances – is going to require the governor to work in cooperation with rather than in opposition to the majorities in the General Assembly, and vice versa.

ACLU: Juvenile center unfairly seeks charges

Community health centers getting $24M in fed funds

The ACLU accuses a juvenile detention facility in southern Illinois of improperly and unnecessarily seeking prosecutions of several dozen detainees.

The civil liberties group made the allegation about the Illinois Youth Center in Harrisburg in a filing in an ongoing federal lawsuit in Chicago.

It blames center staff disgruntled about court-approved limits on how long juveniles can spend in solitary confinement.

The ACLU says that among the infractions that have led to criminal charges were detainees spitting at youth-center staff. ACLU lawyer Lindsay Miller calls such prosecutions “vindictive.”

Thursday’s filing asks the court to order the Illinois Department of Juvenile Justice to find ways to ensure the prosecutions stop.

Messages left for the center and Saline County prosecutors weren’t returned. The juvenile justice department didn’t have an immediate comment.

Community health centers throughout Illinois are getting more than $24.5 million from the federal government.

U.S. Sens. Tammy Duckworth and Dick Durbin of Illinois announced that the money from the Department of Health and Human Services will be shared by 10 organizations.

The organizations include the Knox Community Health Center in Galesburg, Greater Elgin Family Care Center, Aunt Martha’s Youth Service Center Inc., in Olympia Fields, and health departments in Lake, Cass and Will counties. Other recipients of the funding are two organizations in Chicago — Heartland International Health Center and Centro de Salud y Esperanza — and Chestnut Health Systems in Bloomington and the Heartland International Health Clinic in Peoria.

A release says the state’s community health centers provide primary health care for about 1.3 million people.

Carter found guilty on 133 counts Prosecutors: Quadruple murder about jealousy, control

By Jim Hagerty Contributor

ROCKFORD — Mid-December marks a joyous time for children who celebrate Christmas in Rockford. The year 2014 was no different for Martia Flint’s children– until Dec. 20, when Calvin Carter visited her duplex.

Instead of Christmas cheer and goodwill to men, Carter brought a reign of terror, an onslaught of gunfire that killed the two boys, Tyrone Smith III, 6; and Tobias K. Smith, 4. Carter also gunned down 24-year-old Flint and her 24-year-old boyfriend, aspiring boxer Demonte Rhodes.

Carter was no stranger to Flint. The two had dated before she ended the relationship. And for good reason, the state showed.

According to dozens of text messages between them, Flint left Carter because he was controlling, going so far as to dictate to whom she spoke. An incident of physical abuse followed.

Prosecutors said Monday during closing arguments that Carter relentlessly pursued

reconciliation, but that Flint wanted out.

Carter became increasingly aggressive when Flint ended the relationship and began seeing Rhodes, who she dated previously.

Begging Flint to forgive him, Carter persisted. Flint attempted to let him down easily, even offering to be there for Carter if he “ever needed to talk.”

But Carter became even more jilted and obsessed, and Flint asked him to stop contacting her.

“Leave me alone,” Flint texted. “I am scared of you.”

By the night of the shooting, Carter was faced with the reality that Flint had moved on– a reality he did not want to face.

“It was about control, jealousy and the unwillingness to accept the finality,” Deputy State’s Attorney Jim Brun told the jury.

Brun said Carter displayed that unwillingness when he began pounding on the door of Flint’s Montrose Avenue apartment.

When she didn’t answer, he broke through into the living room, pulled out a .45 caliber handgun and started shooting.

Flint retreated down a hallway as slugs blasted into walls and into the bathroom.

He shot Rhodes and Tyrone in the back,

knocking them down before finding Flint and Tobias in a bedroom, where she, charged with the natural instinct to protect her babies, attempted to shield her son from the flurry of bullets. Both were killed at close range.

“The reign of terror didn’t stop there,” Brun said, telling the jury Carter, instead of fleeing the scene, found Rhodes and Tobias and finished them off in the kitchen.

A total of 13 shots were fired.

Public defender Nick Zimmerman argued that there was no physical evidence connecting Carter to the killings, and that circumstantial evidence was not enough to find him guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. Carter wore gloves, Brun said, at least one similar to those issued at Android in Belvidere, where the defendant worked with his uncle.

DNA found on a sweatshirt and recovered along with the glove and casings from the same gun all pointed to Calvin Carter, Brun concluded.

The jury deliberated for about three hours Monday before handing the verdict to Judge Fernando Englesma at around 8 p.m.: guilty on all counts.

Calvin Rhodes said he while struggles with moving on without his son and rest of

the victims, forgiveness is what has gotten him this far. Part of the core leadership of 100 Strong, Rhodes said Carter’s crimes are the result of a generational problem, one he has dedicated his life to solve.

“It’s very important to forgive this individual so that I do not harbor any negative energy and continue to allow him control in areas of my life,” Rhodes said.

“I completely understand that aside from the heinous crime that he committed to my family, he is also a victim. He is a victim of society. I have said from the onset of this tragedy, that my conversation would not be with this young man, but it would be directed at his father. Most of the decisions our youth make–particularly black males–are made without the guidance of positive men in their lives.”

Rhodes now works to fill a gap for youth left without positive role models. And he has found healing in his own life as a result.

“When I look into the eyes of the youth that 100 Strong touches on a daily basis,” he said, “I can’t help but to see the loved ones that my family and I have lost. This is what motivates me, within 100 Strong, to make sure my family doesn’t die again.”

Sentencing for Carter is scheduled for Sept. 8. R.

Health Care

Trump beats drum as Senate package fails

By Erica Werner & Alan Fram Associated Press

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump declared Tuesday it’s time to “let Obamacare fail” after the latest GOP health care plan crashed and burned in the Senate, a stunning failure for the president, Republican leader Mitch McConnell and a party that has vowed for years to abolish the law.

In a head-spinning series of developments, rank-and-file Republican senators turned on McConnell and Trump for the third time in a row, denying the votes to move forward with a plan for a straightup repeal of “Obamacare.” This time, it was three GOP women — Susan Collins of Maine, Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, and Shelley Moore Capito of West Virginia — who delivered the death blow.

All had been shut out of McConnell’s initial all-male working group on health care.

McConnell, who could afford to lose only two votes in the narrowly divided Senate, had turned to the repeal-only bill after his earlier repeal-and-replace measure was

rejected on Monday. That had followed the failure of an earlier version of the bill last month.

The successive defeats made clear that despite seven years of promises to repeal former President Barack Obama’s Affordable Care Act, Republicans apparently cannot deliver. Nonetheless, McConnell insisted he would move forward with a vote on his measure to repeal the law, effective in two years, with a promise to work — along with Democrats — to replace it in the meantime.

The vote to move ahead to the bill will take place early next week, McConnell announced late Tuesday. It appears doomed to fail, but GOP leaders want to put lawmakers on record on the issue and move on.

At the White House, Trump appeared to recognize defeat, at least for the moment, while insisting he bore none of the blame.

“I think we’re probably in that position where we’ll just let Obamacare fail,” the president said. “We’re not going to own it.

I’m not going to own it. I can tell you that the Republicans are not going to own it. We’ll

let Obamacare fail and then the Democrats are going to come to us and they’re going to say, ‘How do we fix it?’”

Despite the current law’s problems, most health care experts do not believe it is at immediate risk of outright failure, and Democratic cooperation to adjust the law is far from assured.

Nor does it appear likely that Republicans can escape owning the problems with the law and the health care system overall, now that they control the House, Senate and White House, partly on the strength of campaigning against the law.

“They seem to have this notion that they can be a majority party, and have control of the White House, and not be responsible for bringing down the health care system,” said Democratic Sen. Dick Durbin of Illinois. “It doesn’t work that way.”

Asked how he would justify the GOP’s failure on health care to voters, McConnell responded: “Well, we have a new Supreme Court justice” — suggesting inaction on health care would be forgiven because of that success along with some regulatory roll-backs.

As the day began Tuesday, McConnell was hunting for votes to open debate on a revived version of legislation Congress sent to Obama’s desk in 2015 that would have repealed major portions of Obamacare, with a two-year delay built in. He had turned to that approach after getting stunned Monday night by defections by Sens. Mike Lee of Utah and Jerry Moran of Kansas on a repeal-and-replace bill.

M a ny Re publ ic a n s supp or t t he repeal-only approach, and they questioned how senators who voted for the legislation two years ago could oppose it now.

But for others, the implications were too severe now that the bill could actually become law with a Republican president in the White House ready to sign it. The Congressional Budget Office has estimated that more than 30 million people would lose insurance over a decade under the legislation.

The GOP’s struggles over the latest measures came down to differences between moderates who feared the implications of a full-blown repeal, and conservatives who wanted nothing less.

Hastert released to halfway house

By Carolyn Rousseau & Michael Tarm Associated Press

CHICAGO — Disgraced former U.S. House Speaker Dennis Hastert is far from putting his child-sex-abuse scandal behind him after being released from federal prison in Minnesota where he served a little over a year for a related banking conviction. He now must undergo intensive court-ordered sex-offender treatment designed to ensure he never again poses a risk to children.

The Federal Bureau of Prisons confirmed Tuesday that Hastert was released the day before and transferred to a Chicago re-entry facility. It wasn’t clear whether Hastert was in a halfway house or under home confinement. His attorneys declined comment, and the Federal Bureau of Prisons said in an email only that he is now “under the jurisdiction” of the Chicago re-entry management office.

The Illinois Republican was sentenced to 15 months in prison in April 2016 in a banking violations case that revealed he had sexually abused teenagers while coaching wrestling at a suburban Chicago high school. He was also given a two-year term of supervised release after has was out from behind bars.

The treatment Hastert faces is likely to include a lie-detector test to determine how many times the 75-year-old Illinois Republican sexually abused kids. Another common treatment for sex-offenders involves a penile plethysmograph, which gauges a known molester’s physical

reaction to specific images, according to former federal agents who dealt with child abuse cases.

Hastert could potentially put himself in legal jeopardy if he refuses any of the tests or doesn’t appear to be forthcoming about any instances of abuse, said Francey Hakes, a former special assistant to the U.S. attorney general overseeing Justice Department child-exploitation units.

If he doesn’t cooperate fully, a judge

could send him back to prison; but if he admits to other cases, that could open new investigations, she said.

“It is a Catch-22 of sex offender treatment,” she said in a telephone interview.

Hastert, one of the highest-ranking U.S. politicians to ever go to prison, was the nation’s longest-serving GOP House speaker, second in the line to the presidency from 1999 to 2007 under Presidents Bill Clinton and George W. Bush. He pleaded guilty in 2015 to violating banking law in seeking to pay $3.5 million in hush money to keep the sex abuse secret. While the molestation of children underpinned the case, Hastert couldn’t be charged with sexual abuse because the statutes of limitations had long since run out.

Unless Hastert participates fully and honestly in the treatment program — including by admitting an attraction to children — Hakes said there would be reason to think he still is a risk.

“If I was a relative or lived in his community, I wouldn’t leave him alone around my children,” Hakes said.

Because Hastert wasn’t convicted of child abuse, he is not required to register as a sex offender. However, federal officials could choose to notify Hastert’s victims or local authorities to make them aware he is out of prison.

Maia Christopher, the executive director of the Association For The Treatment Of Sexual Abusers, says treatment can also include looking back at abusers’ childhoods, considering whether mental

illness is a factor and assessing whether their social networks can play a role in preventing further abuse.

Scott Cross, who testified at Hastert’s sentencing hearing that Hastert abused him as a teen, said Tuesday that he didn’t ask to be notified of Hastert’s release from prison and remains intent on moving on with his life. Cross still believes Hastert’s sentence was a “slap on the wrist” but doesn’t fault federal authorities.

“I don’t have any control over this stuff,” he told The Associated Press. “I did what I thought was right for me. I’m not going to look back on it.”

Judge Thomas M. Durkin branded Hastert “a serial child molester” during his sentencing in Chicago, pointing to at least four students abused by Hastert when he coached at Yorkville High School, from 1965 to 1981.

Cross, a former wrestler, testified that he was abused when he was in the school locker room. Court filings describe how Hastert would also sit in a recliner in the high school locker room with a direct view of the showers.

Experts disagree on the extent to which sex-offender treatment can help. Jim Clemente, a former FBI supervisory agent who frequently testifies in child sex-abuse cases, says analysts often try to determine whether an abuser is sexually attracted to children or is what he called “a situational offender” who isn’t necessarily motivated by an attraction to kids.

“There is no cure for the former,” he said.

Haney hopes to restore county government’s reputation

By Scot Bretram

Illinois News Network

Winnebago County Board Chairman Frank Haney has a clear mission statement.

“Our goal every day is to work to become the most accountable, collaborative, and transparent unit of government in the state of Illinois,” Haney said.

Winnebago County is the most-populous Illinois county outside of the Chicago area and is home to the city of Rockford. Haney took the reins of the county government earlier this year, and recent headlines underscored the urgent need for change.

“We’re a county that had the FBI investigating how it did business,” Haney said.

“We had our purchasing director in the prior administration go to jail for stealing a bunch of money. We gotta make sure, now that we’re pivoting away from that, we learn all the lessons we can learn, that

we apply best practice everywhere we can.”

Haney ran on a platform of 19 reforms to make government more accountable and transparent to taxpayers. He plans to implement a “report card” system to publically evaluate how money is being spent by departments inside Winnebago County. He already has restructured the leadership team and led the county board in taking steps to eliminate any chance of cronyism and nepotism in hiring.

“You’re not going to have an elected official hiring five immediate family members inside county government,” Haney said.

“When you’re doing that, it’s very hard for people to believe that you’re really trying to hire the best.”

Beyond that, Haney said he is looking at other ways to make the county more efficient at a time when dollars are becoming scarcer.

“We don’t have money to fight about anymore,” Haney said. “We have to look at ways to either consolidate how we’re doing business or how we share resources [with other local governments]. What are 10-15 things that we can do joint purchasing on? What are 10-15 things where we can share equipment between units of government locally? What are some jobs we can share?”

Ted Biondo is a long-time member of the Winnebago County Board who endorsed Haney in last year’s election. “[Haney] really knows what his goals are and what he wants to do,” Biondo said. “He made an analogy in his State of the County address to people in a boat. If you’re all paddling in the same direction, you can do more than if even one person is paddling in the other direction.”

Haney said he simply wants everyone in

the area to work together to better serve the community.

“We are serious about a day-to-day approach to remembering who the boss is,” Haney said. “And it isn’t the chairman, it isn’t the county board, it isn’t your state rep or your mayor. It’s actually the people paying the bill – the taxpayers. When you’re clear on that one thing I think it sets the compass the right way.”

Biondo said he is noticing a difference, even early in Haney’s term.

“It’s accountability and it’s actually being transparent with the board itself,” Biondo said. “Allowing us to ask questions and make suggestions. It’s an inclusive thing that’s been generated.”

Haney said he hopes the changes aren’t only restricted to how government operates.

Energy & Environment

Prominent speakers highlight this year’s Energy Fair

By Drs. Robert & Sonia Vogl Contributors

The Illinois Renewable Energy and Lifestyle Fair is known for having excellent speakers. Again this year, there will be many fine programs. Keynote and featured speakers are taking positive actions to help the environment and people in our area.

The keynote speaker this year is Tamara Dzubay, a Clean Energy and Sustainable Business Specialist working on the Environmental Law and Policy Center’s (ELPC’s) clean energy finance and other sustainable business initiatives.

Her work focuses primarily on energy efficiency, electric vehicles and other innovation strategies. She previously worked at UPC Solar and Credit Suisse as a financial analyst and engaged in financial and business development positions for the Latham & Watkins law firm and Mark Cunningham Inc. in New York City. She is a member of Illinois State University’s Renewable Energy Advisory Board. Tamara has a BBA from the University of Michigan’s Ross School of Business and an MBA in finance from Northwestern University’s Kellogg School of Management.

The Environmental Law and Policy Center (ELPC) “is the Midwest’s leading environmental legal advocacy and eco-business innovation organization.” (elpc.org). With offices in eight states, it has achieved striking successes. Ms. Dzubay, will Focus on the ELPC’s major current efforts, including ELPC’s work on

advancing energy efficiency in Illinois, Illinois solar and community solar and the job creation potential of the clean energy industry in Illinois. ELPC is releasing a report highlighting all businesses in Illinois engaged in the clean energy supply chain in September; she will provide an overview of the report’s highlights. She will also discuss the VW settlement and clean air/clean transportation initiatives on which she is working. (Saturday, noon.)

Featured speakers have been with the fair for years, each time making a new presentation focusing on a different aspect of their activities.

Dan Kenney is the founder and Executive Director of DeKalb County Community Gardens and the President of the Board for Barb Food Mart, a school based food pantry. He serves as chair of the City of DeKalb Citizens’ Environmental Commission, is a Board Member of the DeKalb County Soil and Water Conservation District and a Board Member of the Illinois Stewardship Alliance. His program will focus on the local food movement and what it means for the local environment and economy. (Saturday, 9:30 a.m.)

Steve John is the co-founder and executive director of the Agricultural Watershed Institute, a nonprofit organization established in 2003. AWI’s mission is to conduct research and educational programs on practices and policies that improve water quality, maintain or restore ecosystem health, and conserve land and

Asian carp population half what is was a decade ago The state of Illinois has done a great job of fishing the Asian carp population down. But wildlife managers in the state say what they really need is a good carp fish sandwich to clear out the invasive fish from Illinois’ rivers.

In the upper Illinois River, Asian carp are becoming harder and harder to find.

Kevin Irons with the Illinois Department of Natural Resources said that’s because the state has paid fishermen to catch as many carp as they can, and it’s worked.

“The population today is 50 percent, or maybe as much as 25 percent of what it was,” Irons said. “A reduction of, probably an average 68 percent, of what it was.”

A silver carp, one of the species native to Asia that have infested the Illinois River and advanced on Lake Michigan, was found just 9 miles from Lake Michigan last month.

A two-week search following its discovery turned up no additional Asian carp in

the Chicago waterway, beyond an electric barrier network designed to prevent them from reaching the Great Lakes.

The 28-inch, 8-pound fish was only the second live Asian carp ever caught past the barriers, giving fresh ammunition to critics who question the effectiveness of the government’s strategy for protecting the lakes.

Congressional budget writers are proposing to overrule President Donald Trump’s planned elimination of much of the federal funding for the Great Lakes, including funds meant to prevent invasive species from taking root.

Irons said if people would start eating Asian carp, the demand would lower their numbers even more.

“Carp is a four-letter word, and people get really worked up about eating a carp,” Irons said. “But if you like fish, this is as good as a bluegill or a crappie.”

water resources in agricultural watersheds. Mr. John manages AWI’s work on perennial biomass crops for co-production of agricultural goods and environmental services including water quality, soil health, wildlife habitat, and greenhouse gas reduction. This includes outreach and technical assistance to current or potential producers of perennial crops; on-farm research and demonstration of cropping systems to maximize water quality benefits of saturation-tolerant perennials combined with drainage modifications; and collaboration with public and private sector organizations to develop supply chains and markets for perennial biomass.

He will present a future vision of perennial biomass crops grown for forage and bioenergy plus environmental services.

birds and other wild creatures. They will speak on planting a garden to save pollinators (Saturday, 1:15 p.m.) and telling the Universe story for a sustainable future.

(Saturday, 3:45 p.m.)

Dr. Philip Whitford is a retired biology professor who spent his childhood summers in Marquette County, Wisc., also known as Aldo Leopold’s “Sand County.”

He is a well known expert on wild goose behavior as well as having studied coral reefs with his students for many years.

His presentation will add a new dimension to prior talks by incorporating discussion of how competition between nations for specific fishing rights may encourage intentional over harvest of limited fish populations with hopes of driving other countries away, and making it possible to claim mineral and oil rights at those sites.

Coupled with disclaiming science as fact, generates a government that dismisses sustainable harvest and resource protection as necessary for providing a stable fishery for the future, especially coupled with greed of individual fishermen and corporations for immediate profits without thinking about future resource needs.

(Saturday, 2:30 p.m.)

This year’s fair is coming Aug. 19-20.

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.

Contract with the Community

Restraints rule shows need for more explanation

By John Guevara Contributor

Recent history is chock-full of examples in which government has acted without knowing, understanding or communicating the details.

In 2010, when speaking about the Affordable Care Act, Democratic House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi famously said, “We have to pass the bill for you to find what’s in it, away from the fog of controversy.”

Only after the Illinois Senate overrode Gov. Bruce Rauner’s veto to pass its budget did local governments realize the state would be keeping a portion of sales taxes as an “administrative fee,” and citizens discovered that gas would be more expensive without making roads any better.

And in Winnebago County, several county board members believed a budget amendment requested by 17th Circuit Chief Judge Joe McGraw was mandated by a new Supreme Court Rule 943, and would require juvenile defendants to be unshackled, even during transport.

This rule specifies a hearing must take place before a defendant may be shackled during courtroom proceedings with a few

exceptions.

Choosing to stand firm despite criticism is tough, especially for public servants. It’s hard being the punching bag. The Winnebago County Board has taken some heat for sticking to their guns and choosing to reject the chief judge’s budget amendment — even though some members believed the funding to be mandated by Rule 943. It seems those members were mistaken.

17th Circuit Trial Court Administrator Tom Jakeway clarified the rule: “By its own terms, ILSC Rule 943 is applicable only during proceedings in the courtroom.”

A source intimate with the details of juvenile defendant transport confirmed Jakeway’s clarification.

“Rule 943 did not change anything that detention officers have been doing in transporting juvenile defendants,” The Times was told. “Defendants are shackled during transport up until they walk into the city room. If the judge orders them to be shackled for future proceedings, they are, if not, they’re not.

That’s the way we’ve done it, even before the rule went into effect.”

The County Board’s Democratic

Minority Leader Joe Hoffman agrees.

Hoffman was Superintendent of Winnebago County’s Juvenile Detention Center for almost a decade. Of his decades of service in the Juvenile Detention Center, he says, “We rarely shackled juvenile defendants in the courtroom.

Shackling a juvenile defendant was very much the exception, not the rule.”

Contract: Transforming government processes

Remember Cool Hand Luke, the Paul Newman classic featuring the iconic line, “What we’ve got here is failure to communicate”? Far too often, the problems we see in government are more about communication than they are about policy.

The county board took a critical step earlier this year, implementing a requirement that all budget amendments pass through the County Finance Officer, Carla Paschal, and be provided to the Finance Committee two weeks in advance of appearing on the Committee agenda. Former Board member John F. Sweeney (and this artcile’s author) and current members Eli Nicolosi, R-8, Steve Schultz, R-3, and Tex Biondo, R-20, had

been fighting for years for a reform like this to pass.

Winnebago County Board Finance Committee Chairman Ted Biondo praises the change. “We just don’t want the stuff to come in right at the end again where you get it the night before without the time to vet anything.

“We even push it a little beyond (the 14 days) if it warrants it.”

The question to ask is, why not require a minimum two weeks notice on almost every decision local officials make?

“If we had more time, of course the quality of our decisions would be better,” says Nicolosi. “And it wouldn’t have to apply in every case because sometimes you have to act fast, but the majority of the time having enough opportunity as board members to scrutinize the details, that’s where the make or break stuff happens.”

If we are going to continue transforming government processes and improving the quality of local decisions, elected and appointed voting bodies need enough time to delve into the details. Citizens need enough time to hold their leaders accountable before decisions are made. That’s transformation we can believe in. R.

Family Constellation Work: What it is Family Constellation Work is an opportunity to experience a healing process initially developed by Bert Hellinger, a German psychotherapist, to heal wounds from World War II. Hellinger observed that there is a natural flow of love from one generation to another until something overwhelming interrupts it. Sometimes we feel connected to our family by suffering like those before us or we attempt to carry their burdens.

We are connected to our past by loyalty to our ancestors. Out of a loving need to help them, we may try to carry their burdens for them.

Love becomes entangled in some of their misfortunes, and we may no longer be able to live our own lives freely. Constellations Work allows us to see what happened to our loved ones and respectfully

acknowledge it without judgment.

Feelings of isolation, failed relationships, physical illness, depression or anxiety, addictions, and even suicidal thoughts may result from these attempts. Long after we think they have been forgotten, we and our children may continue to be affected by these long-ago difficulties. Constellations Work is an effective way to understand and begin to change unconscious family patterns.

A natural movement toward healing restores lost dignity to family members, and our own obligations, guilt, loneliness and blame can begin to dissolve when our ancestors’ misfortunes are recognized and those excluded ones are given an honored place in our family again. Strength and integrity can be restored so that

love can once again flow through our relationships.

Constellations Work will work well even when only one person from a family attends. No one in the group needs to know anything about you or your family. They are

even successful when nothing is known about your genealogy, so no preparation is necessary except for an open mind.

Commentary

The bane of their existence Former Illinois Policy Instititute president Kristen Rasmussen was brought in as Gov. Rauner’s cheif of staff after the first-term Republican suffered a political defeat in the state’s budget showdown.

By Rich Miller

A

Capitol Fax

fter Gov. Bruce Rauner hired Illinois Policy Institute president Kristina Rasmussen as his new chief of staff, I reached out to one of the House Republicans who voted to override the governor’s budget and tax hike vetoes. How was he feeling?

“You mean after the irate phone calls and e-mails and the letter that arrived at my house today telling me and my wife (by name) to move out?” he texted back. “I’m doing fine—seriously I am. I can just guess what the new chief of staff might have in store for me.”

Rasmussen’s anti-tax group essentially weaponized its Facebook page against lawmakers during the run-up to and aftermath of the overrides of Rauner’s vetoes.

The group’s Facebook page generated hundreds of thousands of often profanity-laden, hate-filled and even some comments that appeared to advocate violent acts like lynching. It also succeeded in inundating legislators with calls and e-mails. At least one legislator, Rep. Steve Andersson (R-Geneva), reported receiving death threats. The group claims to have an “unblemished” record of “decency, civility, and candor,” but that’s not how some of those legislators see it.

So, instead of trying to woo back those 11 Republican legislators who crossed him on the budget, the governor instead brought in the very bane of their existence as his new chief of staff. You can’t send a clearer signal than that.

Rasmussen quickly filled the governor’s office ranks with ideological allies.

She hired a new policy director, Michael Lucci (the Illinois Policy Institute’s former policy director) and new “special assistant” Jean Hutton (the Institute’s director of operations). Laurel Patrick, who worked for Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, was hired as the new communications director. And Diana Rickert is reportedly being hired as the deputy chief of staff for communications.

Rickert is the Illinois Policy Institute’s vice president of communications who once advocated for the firing of all state workers so that they could be rehired on a new, cheaper pension plan. Her idea was derided as unworkable and not legal.

Rauner has always been a big fan of the Illinois Policy Institute’s way of thinking and ways of doing business. He insisted, for instance, that Rasmussen be included in some policy meetings. Rasmussen reportedly voiced support at those meet-

ings for things like shutting down some state universities and prisons, regardless of the consequences, including the possibility of a prison escape during a hastily arranged facility shutdown. That’s just the sort of “bold” thinking that Rauner likes.

As a corporate roll-up specialist, Rauner was a big fan of creative destruction and outsourcing. Underperforming executives were tossed aside like yesterday’s garbage. And he’s doing the same thing now. His once fiercely loyal staff is being treated worse than Pat Quinn’s staffers were when the Raunerites took over. If this looks like a hostile corporate takeover to you, it’s because it is.

And so we’re about to embark on an adventure that I don’t think any state has ever experienced. A governor of a large state is out-sourcing the operation of his government to a libertarian-minded activist “think tank” that he helped fund before he was elected.

The organization is hostile to unions, public pensions, taxes and government regulations. It has railed against this state’s governance for at least a decade, building up an impressive operation that supplies free news stories, opinion columns and even cartoons to cashstrapped newspapers throughout the state. It has a legal arm that has filed or is handling anti-union lawsuits. It has mastered social media to spread its gospel and whip up the public and lash out at opponents online. It took over a statewide radio news network. It employs researchers who regularly spit out pieces about how Illinois lags other states, particularly Indiana.

In other words, it’s the perfect fit for Rauner, a man of almost identical ideology who nurses a constant obsession about “messaging.”

The Illinois Policy Institute’s higher-ups didn’t seem all that troubled about the two-year impasse and heartily cheered on Rauner’s attempts to use the fiscal crisis as leverage to try and ram through his business and political reforms.

We can probably figure that new executive orders and rules are on the way to further the governor’s new agenda. But he’s also bringing in a bunch of governmental neophytes, so we can expect a lot of rookie mistakes.

But what we probably won’t see is any legislative progress. Perhaps just the opposite if the disaffected Republicans decide to continue crossing the governor.

Letter to the Editor

Remind them: They work for us Our representatives need to act in a more open and responsible way when considering legislation like budgets, health care, tax reform, or overhauling public education. If you agree, contact your representatives. Tell them what you expect, and remind them you’re watching what they do.

If a law is being replaced stabilize the current one to allow time for careful consideration of its replacement.

Stabilizing the existing law secures all

who are dependent on it. Representatives who don’t are letting you know protecting you isn’t their first priority.

The next step is crucial: Hold public hearings. Talk to the people who helped shape the original law because their unique insights could speed the process.

Then bring in new voices for a fresh look.

After the final bill is written representatives need to come home and explain their position. Listen/respond to constituents’ concerns. Good representatives

aren’t condescending or unavailable.

If a representative won’t debate a bill publicly, hear from experts, or hides from constituents, the bill is probably a bad idea. Anyone who doesn’t follow these steps should be putting his/her job in jeopardy.

Voters have responsibilities too. They need to stay well-informed, contact representatives if they’re not representing them adequately, supporting candidates who put constituents’ inter-

ests above their own business interests, lobbyists, or other political bullies.

Remove those who don’t quickly.

Write, call, or stop by your representatives’ offices and let them know what you expect from them. They need to hear from you.

Painting Woodstock’s history Rockford muralist tapped for major project

By Jim Hagerty Contributor

ROCKFORD/WOODSTOCK — The city of Woodstock is where muralist Mark Adamany has been spending his days.

It is where he’ll be for the rest of the summer. The northwest Chicago suburb is the site of the largest outdoor project of his nearly 30-year career, the Woodstock On Film and On The Stage Mural.

When finished, the Main Street Pedway painting will honor four of Woodstock’s lasting cultural legends: Chester Gould and Dick Tracy; Orson Welles; “Groundhog Day”; and the famed Woodstock Opera House.

The project began last August. A fellow artist who completed the initial design asked Adamany to paint it on a wall adjacent to the Classic Cinemas Woodstock Theatre.

“I got a call from Mark Costello who worked for Michael Stanard, owner and founder of One Zero Charlie, an ad agency,” Adamany said. “They recommended me from day one, which was cool.”

And Costello’s design is not just any rendering, nor the mural an ordinary public piece. There were licensing hurdles to clear, including one for the use of Bill Murray’s image from the 1993 film. Murray’s people talked to some other people, and so on.

The Chicago native eventually approved.

Co-star Andie MacDowell did not, so Costello and Adamany reworked the design, something Mark took in stride.

It is not his first crack at perfection. His local murals for Rock River Ford, Big Al’s, Beef-A-Roo, City of Belvidere and Peak Fitness, among others, show meticulous attention to detail. The giant American Flag and bald eagle on the Pepsi distribution center north of Madison, Wisconsin, overlooking I-94 is no different in that regard.

The African safari themed piece at Kalahari Waterpark Resort in Wisconsin Dells is one of most memorable, while the 6,000-foot Egyptian science fiction painting inside Star Cinemas in Council Bluffs, Iowa, landed him in Signs of the Times magazine’s International Sign Design competition. The artist completed a 91-foot mural at Star Cinema in Reedsburg, Wisconsin, earlier this year.

Rockford muralist Mark Adamany was tapped by the city of Woodstock to preserve its artistic heritage in a new downtown installation, including Chester Gould’s legendary Dick Tracy comic strip.

“I am very proud and honored to be chosen to paint this behemoth project,” Adamany, 50, said of the 1,800 square-foot piece. “The locals are absolutely thrilled about what I am doing in the community.

They’ve made me feel right at home.”

Adamany is accustomed to working alone, although on large jobs he sometimes uses interns for remediation, in-studio prep work and sketching. It helps him meet deadlines and exposes budding college and high school artists to commissioned settings. The Woodstock mural certainly qualifies as a sizable job, one with a looming fall deadline, so Adamany called

for assistance. This time though, it was not the local arts departments Adamany beckoned for help. He brought along one of his own. Daughter Nadia Adamany is a recent Guilford High School graduate and already an accomplished artist, so she jumped at the chance.

“It’s a cool learning experience,” Nadia, 18, said. “To having just graduated from high school and about to start studying art in the fall to already get involved in a project like this is awesome.”

There’s something else.

“I also think it’s way cool to have a dad who is an artist and produces art of this

scale.”

A Guilford and Rockford University graduate, Adamany was inducted into the RPS 205 Fine Arts Hall of Fame in April, alongside fellow Guilford grad, composer Jake Runestad; and the 1990 East High School production of Grease. Inductees will be honored Sept. 16 at the Raddison Hotel & Convention Center.

The Woodstock On Film and On The Stage Mural is expected to be finished in September. A bronze sculpture of Welles and one of a groundhog will be installed in a nearby sculpture garden. R. jim.hagerty@rockrivertimes.com

Rockford Rocked Interviews

Armed Vision reunites, July 28

By Todd Houston Contributor

Armed Vision (AV) was a Rockford-area band from 1979 through 1986. Founded in 1979 as The Numbers, by original band members Troy Lee, Lance Porter, Jay Samp, Rex Scott and Rick Zillhart (with Cesar Bruno, Bret Konietski, David Seaton, Brad Puckett and Ray Cook filling in at times). The Band changed its name to Armed Vision in 1981.

AV were a staple of the 1980’s Beloit Wisconsin bar scene and garnered a huge following playing packed houses both at home and on the road. The band is set to reunite at for a 35th Harlem High School class reunion party at the Tebala Event Center, 7910 Newburg Road, 9 p.m.

Friday, July 28.

RRI: You guys have been working your butts off getting ready for the July 28 show at Tebala. What made 2017 a good time for an AV reunion show?

AV: Ten years ago we played a short set at our 25th High School Reunion (Harlem, Class of 82), so when we got the news this year of the upcoming 35th Reunion, Lance threw out the idea of pulling everyone together to make it happen again, on a much larger, planned out scale. So we have been practicing and planning for a few months now. And here we are a little over a week away and can’t wait. for a great night of some of the best songs of late-70s and early-80s rock bands.

RRI: AV had a huge local fan base. Tell us about the people that helped the band out on the road and helped to make AV the rock and roll machine that they were. I understand this show is partly dedicated to these unsung heroes.

AV: We had an amazing group of family and close friends that got involved with us early on and have been a huge support for many years. We would really like to thank all of our families and the influence and support that have shown. Most specifically, Jay’s mom, Donna Samp; Rick’s dad, Steve Zillhart; Troy’s dad, Robert Lee; the Porter family; and Rex’s entire family that have always had our backs. Everyone who ever worked with us as band or crew including Chris Samp, Scott Kuntzelman, Vern Borah and Carlos Oldigs. Sadly, we also lost several guys who were very close to us and had extensive involvement and commitment with the band. We are doing this show them in mind: Greg Samp, Craig Spiess, Cesar Bruno, Tom May and Brett Konieczski.

RRI: Troy, you left the band early on and were ultimately replaced by Dave Seaton. What are your thoughts on the band during that time and what made you decide to leave?

Troy Lee: Well, I mainly left to pursue a full-time work opportunity with my Dad’s excavating company, which I now

own, so that has worked out well for my family. I was glad to support the guys after Dave joined too. I would often go see them in Beloit and one highlight is when they opened for Cheap Trick in 1984.

Admittedly, I wished I was up there with them for that show. (laughs) RRI: Most of you guys have been busy with music in one way or another throughout the years. Rick has been involved in some cool projects lately and Lance has continued to play drums and record with faith based organizations.

What keeps the rest of you motivated?

AV: As far as motivation, it really just comes down to the love of music and the expression and impact that music can have on others. So, we are glad to share that with anyone who is willing to hear it.

Jay and Rick have been teaching guitar for years, passing the torch, so to speak.

Jay Samp: I’ve mostly been involved with various church worship leadership for the past 30 years, teaching guitar and helping my kids getting assimilated into the band world with their own band, Hope Despite.

Rex Scott: I’m always writing and recording original songs, Troy hasn’t been playing regularly but is having a blast getting back into the swing of things after about a 30-year absence.

RRI: Let’s get back up to how it felt getting into a room with each other again and banging out songs that you haven’t played in years. Was there much anxiety involved or were there just lots of smiles?

AV: A lot of good times for sure. Once we

knocked out a few songs things started to click. The best part is just getting to hang out with each other again. It’s been such fun just reconnecting as friends and reigniting that camaraderie that we had all those years ago. A whole lot of laughter!

RRI: Rex, I was told that you still have some old AV stage wear that you plan on bringing out for the show. Is this just rumor and can we expect some leopard print and silk?

Rex Scott: Well funny you should ask.

The Leopard shirt you see in both photos is actually about the only remnant I have of old band gear, other than some spandex, which will not be seen on me or any of us, in public, anytime soon. We will, however, be decked in some cool rockin’ vision-type gear to be consistent with who we are as entertainers.

RRI: Thinking back, what was the one song that got people up and dancing more than any other song you guys played?

Mony Mony, perhaps?

Armed Vison: Way too many to count.

It varied from different cities and clubs.

In Beloit a lot of the obscure songs that weren’t really hits but became “visionized” as we like to say became popular with the regulars who came to see us.

When we began hitting the road, most of the top MTV rock songs became favorites, which had its beginning right about the same time we were playing. Of course, we never shied away from playing the great heavy rockers that influenced us to play in the first place.

RRI: Favorite club to play in Beloit?

AV: City Limits, no question. Great room for bands with multiple rooms for hanging out. After City Limits closed, the Pier was really the only place bringing in bands.

Some great times there too.

RRI: Do you guys still have the famous ARMED VISION banner that used to hang over Lance’s drum kit (and sometimes on the ceiling)?

AV: The banner will be on display, in all its glory at the July 28 show. It’s a must see work of art. We had the benefit of Jay’s brother Chris Samp’s ‘Artistic Vision’ throughout our entire life as a band. In fact, the name Armed Vision was actually derived from one of his paintings titled ‘Armvistians’.

RRI: Are there any plans to record the show?

AV: We are certainly hoping to make that happen to document this moment in our history, given that this may not happen again, at least not on this grand of a scale.

RRI: Where can we find Armed Vision merchandise?

AV: AV shirts are currently being sold at stompetition.com for a limited time and hopefully at the upcoming show. Shout out to Lorrie Adams, a fellow Harlem Class of 82 alum for approaching us with her online store opportunity. She has been amazing to work with on the project.

We are really looking forward to sharing with everyone in the Rockford area a great show that we have put a great amount of time and sacrifice to make happen. So come on out next Friday, July 28 for a great night 70s and 80s rock. See you there! R.

Best appetizers based on ‘craving’

BY RACHEL CORDANO

Alchemy

610 N. Bell School Rd. Rockford Alchemy is the holy grail of appetizers.

Every single appetizer that I have ordered (or stolen from someone else’s plate when they weren’t looking) has been glorious.

You guys… I don’t even like shrimp and I find myself craving their Bu�alo Shrimp in the middle of the night like I am pregnant with twins. That is how perfect their appetizers are! The Bruschetta Burrata is the Mr. Big to my Carrie Bradshaw. Every time I say “NO MORE CARBS”, someone near me orders this plate of deliciousness and it comes crawling right back into my life. But hey, maybe if I keep going back to it I will also be given a penthouse suite in Manhattan with a closet bigger than my current bedroom.

Fingers crossed!

Bruschetta Burrata at Alchemy

Aero Ale House

6164 E. Riverside Blvd.

Loves Park You might be looking at this picture and thinking, “Rachel what in the world am I looking at right now?” Well I am here to tell you that these are Aero Ale House’s nachos, but not just any nachos… they are THE Nachos. Topped with beer cheese, pico, and chipotle aioli, these potato chips are to die for. I nearly cried while eating because of how happy the nachos made me, but then again the tears could also be attributed to the four glasses of Riesling that I drank throughout the course of the evening. If you prefer to not ugly cry in public, I would recommend the Fish Tacos.

You might still shed a tear but you’ll be able to keep it together in until you get to your car and start listening to John Mayer.

Social Urban Bar & Restaurant

509 E. State St. Rockford Sometimes I wonder if I was actually born and raised in Wisconsin due to my obsession with cheese, specifically cheese curds. However my mom pulled out my birth certificate, and it has been confirmed that I was in fact born in Rockford. Now let’s get back to the topic at hand… the Cheese Curds at Social are FANTABULOUS (fantastic and fabulous – made it up in middle school and haven’t stopped using it). If you aren’t as obsessed with cheese curds as I am, don’t worry I am only judging you a little bit, then you need the Pork Tacos in your life ASAP. They are served with guacamole that is good enough to eat by itself, and no I am not guilty of scooping spoonfuls of it into my mouth.

Film Review

War brings heart, thrills to Apes

By Thomas Simpson

T

Contributor

he Planet of the Apes franchise was successfully rebooted in 2011 with Rise of the Planet of the Apes. The story explored the genesis of the ape rebellion, laying the groundwork of their ascent to power.

A sequel followed in 2014 with Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, focusing on the growing tensions between the evolved primates and the remaining humans they coexisted with. It’s commendable how well paced the movies were, the filmmakers refusing to rush us to the post-apocalyptic world that Charlton Heston discovered was Earth all along.

The most recent entry, War for the Planet of the Apes, is the next chapter in explaining how the apes become the most dominant species on the planet.

Matt Reeves returns as director, with Andy Serkis once again donning the motion capture suit to breathe life into the iconic leader of the apes, Caesar.

All Caesar and his clan want is to live in peace. But humans can’t allow that.

Led by the methodical and sociopathic soldier known only as the Colonel (Woody Harrelson), a human army is led on a mission to wipe out the simians forever and to reclaim mankind’s dominance on the planet.

What follows is simply brilliant, as Caesar is put into conflict with the Colonel and ape battles man for the right to survive. It’s a tale of revenge and compassion as Caesar’s legacy is etched in stone, becoming an almost biblical Moses like figure as he struggles to

overthrow tyranny.

The visual effects are incredible with so much detail given to the ape characters. That attention to detail produces an utterly immersive experience, providing

the looks for the characterization. The characters themselves are fleshed out by the actors, creating believable animals that connect with the audience.

Serkis is wonderful in the role yet

again, filling Caesar with a depth of emotions. It’s easy to invest in his mission — and although we are given a much darker Caesar than we’re used to, Reeves provides good reason as to his thirst for vengeance. Despite his flirtation to the dark side, it’s clear the villain is the Colonel. A subdued Harrelson portrays the character with a calm coldness that is near boiling point, yet too in control to fully let go. His chemistry with Serkis is great. Even when Harrelson’s scene serves no other purpose other than for expository reasons, he delivers his lines with such conviction that it’s captivating.

It’s not all doom and gloom with Steve Zahn’s Bad Ape adding some levity. A former zoo inhabitant, Bad Ape can speak like Caesar but has a childlike innocence that makes him adorable. The humor is carefully slotted into the film so as to add some lightness while not interrupting the general tone. War for the Planet of the Apes is a very tense story that features fist clenching thrills, remaining so for much of its runtime.

The third act comes to a beautiful climax as the action is turned up a notch and the titular war is realized.

It’s glorious without being gratuitous.

Despite the sci-fi nature of the script, it remains grounded throughout. War for the Planet of the Ape is a sequel and reboot that delivers a fresh remedy for any franchise fatigue that audiences may be suffering. Funny and horrifying, it’s a thrilling action movie with a huge heart. R. Thomas is a writer and filmmaker based in Glasgow, U.K. Find him on Twitter: @Simmy41.

THE LUCKIEST SIGNS THIS WEEK: LEO, VIRGO AND LIBRA

Horoscope Week of July 16 to 22, 2017 ARIES

You’ll manage to find balance bet­ ween rest and work. However, if you’re self­employed, you won’t be able to resist checking email from time to time, despite having promised yourself to stay away.

TAURUS

Shopping is on the agenda whet­ her you’re on vacation or not. You’ll enjoy haggling with storeowners and could come out with big savings.

GEMINI

Take the time to recharge before diving headfirst into anything. You will be compelled to take some down­ time. Let life guide you to where you need to go.

CANCER

Everything about you will be no­ nonsense. Even on holiday, you may opt to stay in contact with work or contemplate some important pro­ jects instead of relaxing and en­ joying life.

LEO

Summer vacation will come and go way too quickly, but you will still be able to fully enjoy the time off in good company. You’ll need to or­ ganize your time carefully if you wish to do everything you have planned.

VIRGO

You may already start planning next year’s vacation. You will also con­ template personal and professional projects. Time will be a valuable commodity this week.

LIBRA

You will thoroughly enjoy your va­ cation time. Even if it isn’t perfect, expect to experience many memo­ rable moments and to feel happier and more energized than you have in a while.

SCORPIO

You’ll be quiet and introspective this week. Some deep­seated emotions might get stirred up. As for romance, you’ll know right away if your part­ ner is not being honest with you.

SAGITTARIUS

Business never stops, even during the summer holidays. You will dis­ play an uncanny knack for uncove­ ring golden opportunities or getting contracts signed.

CAPRICORN

You will be in contact with the office while on vacation, either by sneaking a peek at your phone or by cutting short your time off to get a head start on work­related activities.

AQUARIUS

You will be tempted to do something outlandish, either to attract some­ one’s attention if you’re single, or to spice up your routine if you’re al­ ready in a relationship.

PISCES

You can look forward to a truly rest­ ful vacation, but it won’t be long be­ fore you get itchy feet. You won’t be shy about voicing your opinions, even the more controversial ones.

Mr. Green Car

Is an e-bike the right fit for you?

By Allen Penticoff Columnist

I am going to start with a disclaimer.

I have not ridden an electric bicycle (e-bike). And in a way, it does not matter: due to a proliferation of makes, models and styles there are some commonalities yet great differences. If I were to ride a particular bike and report my experience, your experience on another bike may be quite different.

As with battery electric lawn products, there has been explosive growth in the electric bicycle field. Every imaginable combination of hybrid electric motor and bicycle is out there ready to be bought.

None are cheap; from several hundred dollars to thousands of dollars. Some are pure electric and have no pedals, and these would be more correctly called electric scooters. For this report, I’ll stick to power assisted bicycles – those that have the ability to be human powered to aid the motor, or vice versa, the motor aids the pedaling – or if the battery becomes exhausted or there is an electrical problem, the pedals will get you home.

There are several reasons why electric bicycles are becoming popular. First, they are a great help in that age-old nemesis of the bicyclist – the hill. Some e-bikes have the power to take you up a fairly steep hill all on electric power; coming down the hill you can get e-assist to propel yourself to some pretty high speeds. Second, they can greatly extend the distance you can travel on your bike without much effort on your part. Battery range of 40 miles is commonly being reported. In essence, you have an electric motorcycle, often with a handlebar mounted throttle just like a motorcycle (a preferred feature). You won’t be getting much exercise, but you will be enjoying the third benefit of an e-bike: near silent smooth rolling along.

While speed under power, of course, varies with the manufacturer, 15 mph seems like an average speed among the e-bikes. A few can go up to 64 mph! Some have meters to help with your pedaling cadence to boost your speed much higher.

A wide range of e-bikes, such as the Pedego City Commuter, is already out there for consumers.

Some have selectable modes and speeds.

As an example, the well-reviewed Pedego City Commuter ($2600-3300) has three power modes and five levels of pedal assist. With these higher-end e-bikes, you can more finely tune what you want to do with what the bike can do for you.

Among all e-bikes, one common feature is that they are much heavier than a regular unpowered bicycle. This will make the e-bike feel ponderous at times and must be taken into consideration. But compared to a motorcycle, they probably will feel light and quick, so it is all relative. The heaviness will also help smooth out the bumps one encounters.

That and having a suspension on some models will make for a very smooth ride.

Many e-bikes feature disk brakes rather than the rim brakes of a bicycle. Due to the extra weight and speed of an e-bike, I believe this would be a must have feature although on some the simpler e-bikes the old rim style seems to work fine.

Among the styles of e-bikes, there are

two dominant ways to power the bike.

Rear hub electric motor and front hub electric motor – each with its advantages and disadvantages. Battery location too varies. Some are mounted on a rack above the rear wheel, robbing a bit of cargo hauling space. Some are mounted on the seat tube, while others are on the top tube or front down tube. The lower the battery is mounted the better the handling will be. The size of the battery pack influences the weight and handling as well. It would be best to purchase the smallest battery for your needs (less costly, too) than to huff and puff moving a big battery whose range you rarely use.

Of course, you’ll need to plug your bike in to recharge the battery, but since it only needs 120-volts to recharge quickly, it won’t be drawing much power.

With that in mind, an e-bike may be the easiest of powered transportation options to benefit from truly sustainable solar power. The relatively small battery of the e-bike could certainly be

recharged with a simple solar panel and inverter. Since many of the e-bikes use higher voltage battery packs, such as 48-volts, direct power from a solar panel is not possible. Many products are available to do just this – you don’t have to build your own. A 120-watt solar system will recharge a 1000-watt battery in 3.5 hours, while a 300-watt solar system will take only 90 minutes to do the job. I found online an interesting ready-to-go system that folds up. It would be great for camping or even a long cross-country cruise on your e-bike. Search “electric bike solar charging” for many similar solutions to charging on the go.

If you are interested in obtaining an e-bike, I would highly recommend doing some serious research on the subject.

There are as many e-bikes with disappointing reviews are there are those with five stars. I would not buy the first one I came upon. Myself, I look forward to finding a cushy seat recumbent e-bike.

The best of all worlds.

FARM & AG

Managing water in the garden

BY GRANT MCCARTY CONTRIBUTOR

There is a strong chance you’ve had a lot of rainwater this season. We have had weeks in June and July where gardens are getting an abundance of rainwater. While our plants do need it, they don’t need as much as we are getting.

Between flowering and fruiting, a vegetable plant needs 1-1.5 inches of water each week. It can receive more than this and be okay, but too much all at once may not be the best for the plant. Wilting symptoms may also show up if the plant has received too much water. These symptoms should dissipate in a matter of days.

Let’s recall what water does for the plant. When water is combined with soil, this allows for the plant to take up all of those vital soil nutrients that it needs to produce a crop for you. Without water, the plant would be unable to take these up. Even if the soil looks very dry, there is still water in the soil. This right there should tell you why you should not water all over your plant. Wet leaves and plant material will do more harm than good. Diseases can be spread by wet conditions. You may also have a

weed problem if too much water is being applied. Always water at the root zone.

Try to water in the morning. By watering in the morning, this allows wet foliage to dry out whereas by watering over night, any fungi and bacteria present can spread.

To determine how much water you are getting, purchase a rain gauge. This small device can be set on the edge of your planting area and provide you with an accurate picture of how much rain your crops have gotten. It can then allow you to water your plants more if they do not have enough water for the week.

If you do need to water your plants, you will want to figure out how long you need to water them based on your watering device. Use an empty tuna can and see how fast it takes to fill up.

That estimate will give you a rough idea on how long you’ll need to water your plants to get to the amount of water you need for the week. 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.

Dust in facilities: Sweat the small stu�

BY DEBRA LEVEY LARSON U OF I NEWS BUREAU

URBANA — A beam of sunlight streams into your living room, illuminating a Milky Way of dust particles hanging in the air.

Although the air looks thick, those visible dust particles are so big that they can’t reach the smallest branches of the respiratory tree in your lungs. It’s the dust we can’t see—smaller than 2.5 microns, called PM 2.5—that can cause allergies and other respiratory problems.

Inside livestock facilities, the dust particles are much more abundant than in a living room, and can cause pulmonary problems for anyone who breathes the air, including the animals. A recent research project on air quality characterizes the dust particles found in di�erent livestock facilities. For the study, the air was sampled for three consecutive days in each of three types of animal production facilities— poultry, dairy, and swine.

“If you’re going to regulate air quality, first you have to measure it. And before you measure it, you have to characterize how to measure it and what’s in it,” says Richard Gates, professor in the Department of Agricultural and Biological Engineering in the College of Agricultural, Consumer and Environmental Sciences at University of Illinois and member of the research project team.

Gates says not all livestock facility dust is alike. “In order to manage or regulate

the dust, we first have to understand its characteristics. Until we have that, we can’t make models that describe the emission from a building, how much of it drops out within 100 yards of a building, and how much of it travels much further from the facility.”

According to Gates, laying hen facilities are recognized as a very dusty environment; a dairy facility is a very open, airy environment with lots of fresh air; and a swine-finishing building, although not considered to be terribly dusty, is actually the worst overall in dust level, especially at the most dangerous particulate matter (PM) level.

“Of the three types of livestock buildings, swine facilities tip the scales in terms of having the highest amount of the dangerously small, PM 2.5 size particulate matter—significantly higher,” Gates says.

Anecdotally, Gates says a high percentage of people who work in livestock facilities, over time, develop respiratory issues. “They should be wearing protective masks at all times. On bigger farms it’s a requirement,” he says. “In the early days of raising livestock, masks weren’t available, and in developing countries, availability is still an issue. And pigs are a�ected, too. One of the major challenges in swine production is keeping them healthy without the use of antibiotics, and respiratory stress is one of the health issues.”

USDA lowering corn price expectations More corn in the ground than expected has the U.S. Department of Agriculture lowering its price expectations.

The USDA’s World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimates shows 190 million bushels more corn in the ground than it estimated in June. This came as economists were hoping for a report that would carry the above average prices even higher. Some even thought $5-per-bushel prices were possible under the right conditions.

Instead, the report expected prices to drop by 10 cents at the midpoint to a range of $2.90 to $3.70 per bushel.

University of Illinois Agricultural Economist Todd Hubbs said demand and weather in August will be crucial to farmers’ wallets.

“These next few weeks, as we move into

and through pollination in a lot of areas is going to make the di�erence,” Hubbs said.

“We’ll see how that turns out when we see the production report that comes out in August. There are some negatives for corn out there, but we’ve seen some pretty good demand. If we have a big yield hit this year, we could see a good price run in corn.”

He said soybean markets look good at the moment but isn’t as optimistic as others because of the high volume in the fields.

“If we see continued demand from China and other places overseas for our exports, that could be a positive sign, but there are a lot of beans out there,” Hubbs said.

Both corn and soybean bushel-per-acre yield estimates were unchanged.

Polo couple has a brush with kindness

By Vinde Wells Sauk Valley Media

POLO — Amy Beard was “shocked and blown away” when a group of teens from an Evanston church offered to paint her house and spruce up her yard.

Beard has had lupus for 38 years, and said she “can’t do much,” and her husband, Paul, is a full-time meat cutter who mows yards on the side to help make ends meet.

“I don’t think it would have got done otherwise,” she said as she watched the 12to 14-year-olds and the adults who joined them bustling around her yard with rakes, shovels, hammers, and paint brushes.

Mike McGuire, who grew up in Polo and now lives in Evanston, was behind the project. His mother, Julie McGuire, was one of Beard’s teachers at Polo High School, back when she was Amy Faber.

He brought the Evanston United Methodist Church youth group and their leaders back to his hometown to paint the exterior of Beard’s home and do yard work.

They worked for 3 days, getting two coats of paint on the house, trimming and removing bushes, raking, and planting

perennials and annuals.

They stayed overnight at the McGuire farm in rural Polo.

“We’re trying to brighten Amy’s life,” McGuire said.

He also enlisted the help of local volunteers, including Dave and Laurie Sherrick, their daughter, Emily, and others. In all, about 20 people helped.

The youth group does a service project every summer, usually in Rockford, but this year, its leaders wanted to make the experience more personal.

“We wanted them to get to know the people we are serving,” McGuire said.

He consulted his classmate, Dave Sherrick, who told him of Beard’s situation.

“First I was shocked, but I shouldn’t have been, knowing Mike and the Sherricks,” Beard said. “They define what a true Christian should be.”

She also praised the teens’ hard work and willingness.

“It’s already done, and it’s beautiful,” she said. “We’re so blessed and grateful.

We’re just humbled that someone would do this for us.”

The beauty of the solar system’s biggest storm

By Marcia Dunn

AP Aerospace Writer

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — A NASA spacecraft circling Jupiter is revealing the up-close beauty of our solar system’s biggest planetary storm.

Juno flew directly over Jupiter’s Great Red Spot on last Monday, passing an amazingly close 5,600 miles above the monster storm. The images snapped by JunoCam were beamed back Tuesday and posted online Wednesday. Then members of the public — so-called citizen scientists — were encouraged to enhance the raw images.

Swirling clouds are clearly visible in the 10,000-mile-wide storm, which is big enough to swallow Earth and has been around for centuries.

“For hundreds of years scientists have

been observing, wondering and theorizing about Jupiter’s Great Red Spot,” said lead researcher Scott Bolton of the Southwest Research Institute in San Antonio. “Now we have the best pictures ever of this iconic storm.”

Information was still arriving Thursday from Juno’s science instruments. Bolton said it will take time to analyze everything to shed “new light on the past, present and future of the Great Red Spot.”

Juno’s next close encounter with the giant gas planet will be in September. The Great Red Spot won’t be in Juno’s scopes then, however.

Launched in 2011, Juno arrived at Jupiter last July. It is only the second spacecraft to orbit the solar system’s largest planet, but is passing much closer than NASA’s Galileo did from 1995 through 2003.

This enhanced-color image made available by NASA shows Jupiter’s Great Red Spot on Monday, July 10. The image was created using data from the Juno spacecraft during its seventh close flyby of the planet. Photo, Seán Doran/Gerald Eichstädt/MSSS/SwRI/NASA

MLB. Cubs

Rotation faces many questions ...including what to do with Lackey

By Paul Sullivan

Tribune News Service

Jose Quintana’s masterful performance in his Cubs debut could spark a late-season renaissance for the rotation, which underachieved in the first half after the 2016 championship run.

“A lot of guys would reiterate we didn’t perform the way we’d like,” Jake Arrieta said. “We expect better things from ourselves and as a team overall. That’s the competitive nature of all the guys in this clubhouse. We want to get back to where we were last year.”

Injuries have played a part in the rotation’s backslide. Those injured include Brett Anderson, who remains on the disabled list, and Kyle Hendricks, who made his second rehab start for Double-A Tennessee on Monday, throwing five perfect innings. The righthander is due to return later this week.

“Everybody was pitching well (last year),” Jon Lester said. “So there was no microscope on why we’re doing what we’re doing. Obviously this year it hasn’t gone as well, and I think people look for reasons to justify those numbers.

“We all go through times where we don’t feel well, but we go out and pitch.”

Eddie Butler and Mike Montgomery were inserted into the rotation, with inconsistent results for the most part. Butler is out, and Montgomery may be next.

“For the most part Mike has thrown the ball well,” pitching coach Chris Bosio said. “But I think the bottom line is the five guys that we had last year, the names are different.”

If Montgomery heads back to the bullpen upon Hendricks’ return, the biggest question mark will be the status of John Lackey.

With a 5.20 ERA and league-worst 24 home runs allowed, the 38-year-old has been the weakest link of the returning starters. Whether it’s the plantar fasciitis in his right foot or just that he’s old, something has been amiss.

“Have you ever tried to throw a baseball on one leg?” Bosio asked last week.

That would be difficult, but Lackey has gutted his way through it, making every start and throwing nearly 100 innings. Has the injury to his push-off foot affected his performance?

“He doesn’t say a whole lot,” manager Joe Maddon said Sunday. “He doesn’t complain a whole lot. So we’ll see.”

Lester, who started Monday in Atlanta after what he called an embarrassing first-inning knockout in the final game of the first half, doesn’t like using injuries as a reason for the Cubs’ first-half pitching

struggles. Everyone pitches with some sort of discomfort.

“I think sometimes in this game you have people who are quick to pull the trigger on the DL deal, ‘I can’t make this start, I can’t make that start,’ ” he said. “Well, try.

Try. Figure it out. It’s part of the game and you’ve got to figure out a way to take the ball every five days.

“That’s something I was taught at an early age. ‘Lack’ and Jose and Jake the last couple years (have done it). Not all of us are healthy all the time. You’ve got to figure out a way.”

Lackey comes off the DL Tuesday in Atlanta to make his first second half start.

If the Cubs make it into the division series, he would appear to be the odd man out, just as Jason Hammel was last year.

But Maddon said they haven’t considered moving Lackey to the bullpen yet, despite the home runs, the foot injury and the addition of Quintana.

Does Lackey get the benefit of the doubt the rest of the way, or will his performance dictate whether he remains in the rotation?

“We’re not there yet,” Maddon said.

“I believe he’s going to have really good second half. (The foot) was bothering him a bit. I’m watching him right now. He looked very focused to me right now. I think the

break helped him a lot, combined with getting well. For us there is no (bullpen) speculation internally right now.”

Maddon said Lackey “likes this time of the year, he like being part of this kind of a moment,” which should get his juices flowing.

“You have to be in a race to really push a guy that’s won three World Series,” he said.

Someone joked that if Lackey was sent to the pen they’d like to watch Bosio deliver the news, knowing Lackey’s demeanor.

“Just try to take him out of the game, and then try to tell him something like that,” Maddon replied. “My God. Exponentially worse.”

Well, the other option is even worse. If Lackey doesn’t improve, releasing him and paying off the remainder of his salary has to be considered. The Red Sox just did that with Pablo Sandoval, but the Cubs don’t seem inclined to do likewise with Lackey, who is owed around $4.5 million of his $12.5 million salary.

Arrieta also regressed in the first half, especially in comparison with his phenomenal 2015 season. He’ll still get a mega-deal this winter, though it may not be quite as “mega” as he anticipated.

“I joke with my friends, I kind of tell them how I think I’m going to finish the

second half,” Arrieta said. “I don’t know if I’ll verbalize that to you guys. But I’m very confident.”

Arrieta’s performance on Saturday in Baltimore, primarily replying on an effective sinker and curve, bodes well for the second half.

Getting adjusted to catcher Willson Contreras, after mostly working with Miguel Montero, is also a work in progress, though Arrieta seems to be comfortable now.

Bosio blamed the “lingering” blisters on Arrieta’s thumb for his lack of consistent outings in the first half.

“There are days he can throw and days he can’t throw,” Bosio said. “The thumb thing seems to be resolved, but it’s the work in between that’s affected.”

Arrieta said he is using Perma Bond on the thumb to heal the skin and suggested the baseballs everyone has been debating this summer could be a factor in causing so many blister problems around the league.

“It’s tough to say,” he said. “But you know what? At the end of the day, as long as everybody is using the same baseball, I don’t care.”

As long as the Perma Bond works, Lackey can pitch on one leg and Hendricks’ hand is healed, the Cubs rotation should be in good shape for the stretch run.

Brewers

Surprising Milwaukee weighs trade deadline

By Genaro C. Armas AP Sports Writer

MILWAUKEE — The Milwaukee Brewers’ biggest fan calls team owner Mark Attanasio regularly and wonders occasionally what moves one of baseball’s most surprising teams might make at the trade deadline.

Former team owner and baseball commissioner Bud Selig is getting inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame on July 30, a day before baseball’s non-waiver trade deadline. For the first time in a couple seasons, the Brewers are in contention.

Should they be buyers and potentially veer from a long-term rebuilding plan? Or stand pat but hold on to the best prospects in one of the league’s top farm systems?

“With (Selig) it’s more, he wants to be on the inside knowing what we’re doing, what are we thinking,” Attanasio said. “So he wouldn’t know the prospects. ‘Is that guy the Cubs traded (away) really that good?’”

It’s up to Milwaukee’s current regime to figure out.

The surprising Brewers are trying to hold off the defending World Series cham-

pion Cubs, the Cardinals and the Pirates in the National League Central after holding a 5 1/2-game lead at the All-Star break.

A wild-card berth is also in play with Arizona and Colorado struggling out West in recent weeks, meaning Milwaukee still has a potential path to the playoffs even if the Cubs awaken from their season-long slumber.

If anything, the Brewers probably won’t be selling at the July 31 non-waiver trade deadline, and that in itself is a big surprise for a team in just the second full season of a rebuild.

For Attanasio, the best way to move forward changes on an almost daily basis.

“You don’t know what it is, because it’s dynamic. It’s not a static process,” Attanasio said. “And by the way, there (are) games to be played, so between now and the trade deadline, teams that ... think they’re not sellers could become sellers.”

Milwaukee was a seller at the deadline the previous two seasons, moving pieces including catcher Jonathan Lucroy and outfielder Carlos Gomez.

There are painful memories from the last time the Brewers were in contention in 2014. Back then, Milwaukee led by 6 1/2 games on July 1 before collapsing down the stretch.

Much has changed since, from the clubhouse to the front office. Left fielder Ryan Braun is the only everyday player remaining from the 2014 team.

Craig Counsell took over as manager after Ron Roenicke was fired in May 2015; David Stearns took over as general manager after Doug Melvin retired at the end of the 2015 season.

Attanasio, Stearns and Counsell spoke Friday to catch up for the second half.

“So we know this is going to be a focused two weeks,” Attanasio said in recounting the conversation. “Craig was saying ... ‘It can’t be we’re just hanging on. We have to stay loose.’ Then he looked at me and said ‘This means you, too!’”

Stearns made a minor deal last week in sending first base prospect Garrett Cooper to the New York Yankees for left-handed reliever Tyler Webb.

NFL Training Camp

Front 7 health will dictate Bears’ defensive success

By Robert Zeglinski

T

Contributor

ake a breath and take it all in.

This is officially the last week without any football activity for the next approximate six

months.

Before NFL veterans report in a week, Chicago Bears rookies officially report to Bourbonnais on Wednesday. Everything is moving so fast and settling into place.

Last week, we took a look at the Bears offense and it’s primary questions during training camp. Now it’s time to examine the strength of the team and the defensive unit – especially up front.

Top story

Even despite a franchise worst 3-13 record, the official slogan of the 2016 Bears should read “not that pathetic” because much like the offense - the Bears defense wasn’t wholly abhorrent last season. There were several stretches where the NFL’s 15th ranked defense in yardage actually showed objective competence.

Highlights included the Bears possessing the league’s seventh best passing defense despite virtually no established talent on the back-end as well as ranking 12th in the league in total sacks with 37 despite a host of injuries on its front line.

With additions of Marcus Cooper and Prince Amukamara, Chicago finally has, at a minimum, respectable players in its secondary. But any successful play these two newcomers at cornerback enjoy will be defined by the health of a loaded but somehow always shaky front seven.

Injuries always plaguing the Bears where it matters most.

Virtually each primary pass rusher for Chicago has a question mark that has to disappear if the Bears are to take the next steps towards becoming a winning or even elite defense.

Last year, first-round pick Leonard Floyd displayed plenty of the talent that made him the No. 9 overall pick en route to seven sacks in an eye opening midseason stretch. However, he also suffered two concussions and had his play derailed overall by a gaunt frame that held him back from truly dominating. The sophomore 24-year-old has all the potential in the world to become a top-10 pass rusher, as long as his health permits. A 16-game season is a paramount goal here.

Floyd’s starting partner in crime at outside linebacker, Pernell McPhee, is often recognized as one of the league’s true underrated talents on the edge. His physicality and power set him apart as a quality tier two defender.

Yet due to a degenerative knee condition, the 28-year-old’s overall effec-

Pernell McPhee will be the Bears’ main pass-rushing threat from the edges in 2017. Photo, chicagobears.com tiveness has been extremely limited in his first two seasons in Chicago. McPhee has only played in 23 of 32 available games and even that figure is misleading because he began 2016 on the physically unable to perform list while essentially playing himself into shape. The “sexier” McPhee (in his words) significantly slimmed down this offseason to help take the strain off of his knee and joints but no one knows the exact results for sure until he puts it all together on the field.

A 100-percent player next to Floyd would work magic for the Bears defense.

Meanwhile, backup outside linebacker Lamarr Houston is recovering from a second torn ACL in as many years, starting nose tackle Eddie Goldman may have chronic ankle issues that have held him back some to this point in his NFL career, and new defensive end Jaye Howard ended last season on injured reserve with the Kansas City Chiefs due to a hip flexor.

As one can see, the one individual unit where the Bears might be strongest with the most depth is also where they’re most vulnerable. Characterizing the front seven as very boom or bust is not out of line. If Chicago suffers anything here close to the injury prevalence they’ve previously experienced, progress on defense will be at a minimum.

X-Factor

Sticking with the injury theme, Chicago’s ravaged front seven last season also didn’t leave the linebackers alone.

Star 2016 free agent acquisition Danny Trevathan tore his patellar tendon in a late November contest against the Tennessee Titans and is still recovering the injury. A guess could be made on a midseason return this year if all goes well but there’s no timeline set for

Trevathan’s recovery just yet.

In that light, one of last year’s rookie fourth-rounders Nick Kwiatkoski is going to have to grow up quickly, as it’s very possible he begins the season as the starter next to the stalwart superstar veteran, Jerrell Freeman. The 24-yearold Kwiatkoski appeared in 14 games last year and started seven. From this vantage point, he had a mixed review of his overall performance.

With 44 tackles, one sack, and one forced fumble, Kwiatkoski occasionally flashed athleticism and speed that made him stick out at college in West Virginia.

But a said lack of professional experience also had him overrun plays, misdiagnose coverages, and generally play with a lack of prevalent control.

If a Bears defense that ranked 27th in the NFL in rushing defense last year is supposed to improve, Kwiatkoski has to be more than serviceable next to his partner in Freeman while pressed into duty. An effort that shouldn’t be too much to ask.

Competition to watch

Given the Bears’ rotational plans and depth along their front seven provided the situation develops well, every player available will have a valuable role. What’s going to stick out in camp with that in mind, is the competition between last year’s third-rounder Jonathan Bullard and a rising project in Roy RobertsonHarris as the backup five technique (if one makes the easy assumption Howard is the starter).

Bullard, who many projected as a first-round talent that fell to the third because of an undersized frame, flashed very little in 2016 and was even benched from time to time by defensive coordina-

tor Vic Fangio. The 23-year-old had just 18 combined tackles and but one sack as a rookie.

It must be noted that not every rookie will immediately flash their talent at the NFL level as some take longer than others to adjust as professionals. So it’s possible Bullard has untapped potential simply waiting to be unleashed.

Still, Bullard’s performance also left a lot to be desired and leaves the door open for the freakishly sized RobertsonHarris, who’s making the transition to defensive line this season. The 6-foot-7, 268-pound former undrafted free agent has been hard at work in improving his technique and transitioning to the league. Robertson-Harris is someone many believe to be the Bears’ secret weapon, not the best of news for Bullard.

Whatever happens, these are still quite clearly, two talented and hungry players looking to prove themselves. Whoever doesn’t come out on top will still have a role with the team in spot duty, as again, injuries can always hit. Remember that for large, burly defensive linemen, iron always sharpens iron, too.

Defensively, outside of health and an unproven secondary, it’s fair to be able to place a lot more in faith in the Bears on this of the ball. Chicago’s time in Bourbonnais will be much more about maintaining what the Bears have on defense to prepare for the grind of the regular season instead of searching for constant answers.

As the Bears will no doubt learn as well, sometimes all you need is a professional and patient approach to health to make real strides as a team. R. Robert is your guy for all things Bears. Find him on Twitter: @RobertZeglinski.

Feduccia leading way for Rivets

By Mark Schaer

For The Rock River TImes

Feduccia shines: Hunter Feduccia was originally a temporary player on the Rivets’ roster — he was just supposed to play in part of the first half before Brian Smith, the Rivets manager, got all of his permanent players to town. However, Feduccia has played well, earned a permanent spot on the roster, and is leading Rockford in just about every category. He is batting .376 in 28 games (.548 in the last 10 games), has six home runs in his last nine games (one of which was a walk-off), and has strung together a 10-game hitting streak (all of which are multi-hit games). He was named Northwoods League Player of the Night twice in the span of six days last week. He will join Zach Watson at LSU in the fall, and needless to say the Tigers are getting an outstanding player.

First walk-off homer: Feduccia’s long

ball in the bottom of the 10th inning on July 10 against the Kalamazoo Growlers gave the Rivets their second walk-off win of the year and their first walk-off home run in franchise history. The Rivets’ other walk-off this year was against the Madison Mallards on June 13th, an RBI single by none other than Feduccia.

Second half chase: The Rivets finished the first half of the season with a .500 record, with the Wisconsin Rapids Rafters taking the first half title in the South Division and clinching a playoff berth. The Rivets are now in the hunt to make their first playoff appearance in franchise history. They currently sit a half game back from the Rafters in the standings for the second half title, tied with the Lakeshore Chinooks at 7-5 through the first 12 games.

Rockford can make the playoffs by recording the best record in the South

Division in the second half or by having the best or second-best overall record aside from the two teams who win each half-season title.

Finally beating the champs: One of the few teams Rockford had not yet beaten this season was the defending Northwoods League Champions from 2016, the Wisconsin Rapids Rafters, going into the weekend. Rockford stole a game at Witter Field in Wisconsin Rapids on Friday, by a final score of 9-6. Brian Klein (Texas Tech), Bren Spillane (Illinois), and Zach Watson (LSU) all homered as the Rivets hung on for the win.

Rivets dig the long ball: It took Rockford 12 games before they had a home run this season. Even then, they only had nine home runs in the entire month of June. July has been a different story, and the Rivets have already hit 16 home runs this month. Six of them have come off the bat of Feduccia.

Roster turnover: In the Northwoods League, turnover is a common occurrence throughout the season. Colleges have their pitchers on an innings limit and position players come and go. The Rivets are losing several players at the All-Star Break: JC DeMuri (OF, Quincy); Jeremy Houston (INF, Indiana); Matt Miller (RHP, La. Tech); Dylan Stutsman (RHP); Brian Wichman (LHP, Indianapolis); and Lukas Veinbergs (San Jacinto CC) will all be departing from the Rockford club this week.

Who isn’t leaving? Hunter Feduccia (who leads the league in batting); Zach Watson (a member of the NCAA All-Tournament Team); and Cole Bellair (one of Rockford’s All-Star selections) will stay for the remainder of the season.

Despite losing players, the Rockford club is poised for an exciting second half of baseball and has a great shot at a postseason berth. R.
