Aldermen approve solar panel plant expansion, water testing consolidation Jim Hagerty Reporter

ROCKFORD – City of Rockford aldermen, on Monday approved the expansion of a solar farm at the Chicago Rockford International Airport.

Leaders say Wanxiang America aims to triple the amount of solar energy it produces at the airport. That means the company plans to go from producing 3 megawatts of energy to more than 9 megawatts when the project is complete.

The expansion is an outgrowth of the state’s encouragement to increase solar energy production. And with the expansion, more will be on the horizon. Although the exact number of new positions has not been finalized, openings in manufacturing, installation and maintenance are expected.

The proposal passed with an 11-0 vote.

Wanxiang opened at the airport in 2011.

The 62-megawatt plant was the largest photovoltaic solar development in the

Midwest and one of the largest in the United States. It came with dozens of jobs in construction, installation and servicing and increased the region’s green power marketing footprint. The 2011 expansion was made possible in part by a $4 million grant from the Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity. The remainder was financed by private sources.

The 10-acre Wanxiang campus at 5985 Logistics Parkway is in the Rockford Global Trade Park, adjacent to the airport.

In other city business, Rockford and Winnebago County city and county environmental water testing services are on tap to consolidate. Under the agreement, water tests for city and county residents will done at the laboratory at 111 Cedar St. Officials said Monday the move will free up the county health department, so it can focus more its primary health services and testing for diseases like West Nile.

The consolidation will take effect June

7. Water specimens may be brought to the Rockford lab. The Winnebago County Health Department will no longer be accepting specimens for testing. All residents must use City of Rockford water collection kits. Collection bottles are available at City Hall, Cherry Valley Township offices, Durand Village Hall, Pecatonica Village Hall, Rockton Township offices, Roscoe Township offices, and the Winnebago County Sewer and the Water Conservation District.

Also, on Monday, aldermen approved re-appointments of five city department heads: Carrie Hagerty, Finance; Shurice Hunter, Human Resources; George Davis, Human Ser vices; Glenn Trommels, Information Technology; Nick Meyer, Legal; and Mark Stockman, Public Works.

Karl Franzen was approved as the city’s new director of community and economic development. His appointment was announced last month. R.

Trustees report warns Medicare finances worsening

By Ricardo Alonso-Zaldivar and Andrew Taylor Associated Press

WASHINGTON (AP) — Medicare will run out of money sooner than expected, and Social Security’s financial problems can’t be ignored either, the government said Tuesday in a sobering checkup on programs vital to the middle class.

The report from program trustees says Medicare will become insolvent in 2026 — three years earlier than previously forecast.

Its giant trust fund for inpatient care won’t be able to fully cover projected medical bills starting at that point.

The report says Social Security will become insolvent in 2034 — no change from the projection last year.

The warning serves as a reminder of major issues left to languish while Washington plunges deeper into partisan strife. Because of the deterioration in Medicare’s finances, officials said the Trump administration will be required by law to send Congress a plan next year to address the problems, after the president’s

budget is submitted.

Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said in a statement that there’s time to fix the problems. “The programs remain secure,” Mnuchin said. Medicare “is on track to meet its obligations to beneficiaries well into the next decade.”

“However, certain long-term issues persist,” the statement added. “Lackluster economic growth in previous years, coupled with an aging population, has contributed to the projected shortages for both Social Security and Medicare.”

Social Security recipients are likely to see a cost of living increase of about 2.4 percent next year, said government number-crunchers who produced the report. That works out to about $31 a month.

At the same time, the monthly Medicare “Part B” premium for outpatient care paid by most beneficiaries is projected to rise by about $1.50, to $135.50.

Both the cost-of-living increase and the Medicare outpatient premium are not officially determined until later in the year, and the initial projections can change.

More than 62 million retirees, disabled workers, spouses and surviving children receive Social Security benefits. The average monthly payment is $1,294 for all beneficiaries. Medicare provides health insurance for about 60 million people, most of whom are age 65 or older.

Together the two programs have been credited with dramatically reducing poverty among older people and extending life expectancy for Americans. Financed with payroll taxes collected from workers and employers, Social Security and Medicare account for about 40 percent of government spending, excluding interest on the federal debt.

But demands on both programs are increasing as America ages.

Unless lawmakers act, both programs face the prospect of being unable to cover the full cost of promised benefits. With Social Security that could mean sharply reduced payments for retirees, many of whom are already on tight budgets. The report said the total annual cost of Social Security is projected to exceed total annual income in 2018 for the first time since the Reagan era, meaning the program will have to tap into reserves.

For Medicare, insolvency would mean that hospitals, nursing homes and other providers of medical care would be paid only part of their agreed-upon fees.

Medicare is widely seen as a more difficult problem that goes beyond the growing number of baby boomers retiring. It’s also the unpredictability of health care costs, which can be jolted by high-priced breakthrough cures, and which regularly outpace the overall rate of economic growth.

The Cabinet secretaries for Treasury, Health and Human Services, and Labor usually participate in the annual release of the report, along with the Social Security commissioner, and take questions from reporters. None of those top officials was present Tuesday; an aide cited scheduling conflicts.

The four top officials serve as the Social Security and Medicare trustees, along with two independent trustees who are supposed to represent the public. The public trustees are usually more candid, but those posts remain unfilled.

President Donald Trump campaigned on a promise not to cut Social Security or Medicare, but he hasn’t offered a blueprint for either program.

Democrats, meanwhile, want to extend the social safety net by spending more on health care and education. Advocates for the elderly said Tuesday there should be no cuts to Social Security benefits.

But federal deficits keep rising, and the recent Republican tax-cut bill is expected to add to the debt.

Last year’s tax law, which cut taxes on Social Security benefits, helped exacerbate the shortfall. So too did repeal of the individual mandate in so-called Obamacare, which promises to increase the number of people without health insurance and therefore Medicare payments for uncompensated medical care.

Higher deficits mean less maneuvering room for policymakers when the day of reckoning finally arrives for Social Security and Medicare.

In principle, the U.S. is supposed to be paying forward its Social Security and Medicare obligations by building up trust funds to cover future costs. That money is invested in special government securities, which also collect interest. But when the money is actually needed to pay for benefits, economists say a government deep in debt could be hard pressed to make good.

STATE

State passes budget; some savings speculative

BY JIM HAGERTY REPORTER

Although Gov. Bruce Rauner’s signing of the new state budget provided considerable media buzz because it included $400 million in savings from a new pension buyout plan, some say the savings may not be actual when the fervor settles.

Rauner signed the budget Monday, a swift move that followed the 793-day-long impasse t hat saw Democrat s and Republicans locked in a political scrum.

This year’s budget claims to sharply address the state’s unfunded pension debt, now at $130 billion, with buyouts. However, according to experts, because the state is significantly curtailed constitutionally, the buyouts are voluntary. That means the $400 million included in this year’s spending plan is just a speculation. One expert is even calling taxpayers to be leery about how the plan might unfold.

“So, it’s actually wise for taxpayers to be suspicious,” Steve Malanga, a fellow at the Manhattan Institute, told the Associated

Press.

Malanga said not only might the savings not reach $400 million, it is not uncommon for similar plans to cost more than projected.

For people hired by the state before Jan. 1, 2011, Illinois is looking at issuing bonds for about $1 billion over three years to fund the payments. Those no longer employed

by Illinois will have the option of taking 60 percent of their vested dollars. They’d be o�ered a cost-of-living increase of 1.5 percent. That is lower than the current 3 percent increase. But, some say it is a fair trade for the early buyout. If enough workers bite, it could come with more than $380 million in savings during the next budget cycle.

The first plan would provide a buyout estimated at 60 percent of the present value of their vested pension. The state estimates it will get enough state employees accepting the buyout to save $41 million in the fiscal year that starts July 1.

The second plan is estimated to save Illinois $382 million in the coming budget

year. It would give retirees an option to have their cost-of-living increases calculated at 1.5 percent rather than the current 3 percent, compounded annually, in exchange for an accelerated benefit payment.

If the state doesn’t realize the saving in the plan, other cuts and more debt would likely occur.

Despite the speculation, area lawmakers on both side of the aisle praised the budget, noting that schools and provisions for the Rockford airport are also vital parts of the plan.

“It’s great to see Republicans and Democrats working together to pass a bipartisan, balanced budget,” Democrat Sen. Steve Stadelman said. “This is how state government should operate.”

Stadelman noted that school districts are set to receive an additional $350 million.

That is good news for the Rockford and Harlem districts. Both are considered needier districts that qualify for more subsidies this year.

“This year’s budget furthers our commitment to fixing the broken school funding formula,” he said. “Rockford-area schools are a clear winner under this plan.”

Republican Sen. Dave Syverson praised the governor after Monday’s signing, calling the process a “big deal for a state that has been passing out of balance budgets for decades.”

“We were able to obtain record levels of school funding and Medicaid dollars headed to our area,” Syverson said. “This budget, while not perfect, will provide stability to vital services while slowing the growth of government expenses.”

A supplemental spending bill for Fiscal Year 2018 will also fund agency operations, including $405 million for the Department of Corrections, Syverson said. It also includes $63 million for AFSCME back pay. R.

voices from the grave

Stories from the Stones

By Kathi Kresol Contributor

Cemeteries have attracted people for as long as they have existed. Some are drawn to the place because they have a loved one that has been laid to rest there. Others want to experience the beautiful statues and artwork left as a lasting legacy.

But there is more to learn from tombs and graves than just names and dates.

Each of the stones represent a life whether cut short or lived to a ripe old age. There is much to learn by looking closer into the lives of those who lie under the stones.

This is certainly true of the historic Twelve Mile Grove Cemetery. This small cemetery is located on Pecatonica Road close to Highway 20.

The first settlement in this area (Seward Township) was called Vanceburg. Scattered throughout the grove were log houses and the township consisted of a tavern, stage house, two stores and a blacksmith shop.

The town was built as a stopping place for the stage coaches that traveled from Rockford to Freeport and Galena. Twelve Mile Grove was so named because it was twelve miles from the ford in Rockford.

Newspaper accounts of the settling of the area state that in 1836 a weary band of pioneers was traveling by covered wagon through the area. They were on their way out west when they wandered into a lovely spot in the grove by what is now Highway

20. The leader of the group was Joseph Vance. The settlement that sprang up would bear his name.

Ironically, Joseph would be the first buried in the little cemetery when he passed away on September 11, 1841.

One of the earliest stories of this little cemetery came from a collection of remembrances of old pioneers. It tells of a tragedy suffered by the Merchant family that once lived in the grove. It was a very hot night and the father of the family was trying to get his little ones some relief.

So he moved them onto the floor where it was a little cooler. The heat brought a fierce thunderstorm that included dangerous lightning. The lightning struck the chimney, traveled down the stove pipe until it reached all of those sleeping on the floor.

Only the mother and the tiniest baby were left from the family of six. The lightning was so treacherous, it even killed a basket of puppies that the family dog had delivered just days before. The four family members were buried in a mass grave.

Then there is the strange story of the lovely Julianna Phelps. Julianna was the daughter of Mr. J. Phelps who lived in the town of Seward. She worked and lived in the Kelly home where she was the housekeeper. On August 11, 1875, Julianna was visiting at the Ostrander home when she fell to the floor and had a seizure. She was carried back to the Kelly home where she

lingered for two hours before passing away.

The Phelps family was heartbroken and in shock that the very healthy 20-yearold would die so suddenly. Her funeral and burial in the Twelve Grove Cemetery showed her family how much Julianna was loved and respected in the little community.

Many of their neighbors came to pay their respects for the fallen girl.

Mr. Kelly brought Julianna’s trunk full of her personal things back to her parent’s home a few days after the funeral. Her grief stricken mother decided to go through the items and found an envelope with the word Mother written on it. At first Mrs. Phelps could not comprehend the words that were written on the letter inside. The newspapers ran the complete letter the next day.

“Mother – I die because I am tired of living. Kiss the children goodbye for me. I would like to see you once more, but no - I die tonight. When you get this I shall be dead. Goodbye forever - Julianna.”

When the awful truth dawned on Mrs. Phelps she and her husband shared their suspicions with the town doctor, Halsey S. Clark. Together they made the painful decision to exhume Julianna’s body. Her stomach was removed and sent to Rockford.

The only way to prove that Julianna had taken poison in that day was to take a portion of her stomach contents and feed them to a stray cat. The cat began to convulse and vomit much in the way that

Julianna herself had.

Julianna was reburied in the quiet little grove. Though her manner of death was revealed to her family, Julianna took the reason for her suicide to her grave.

Cemeteries contain many such secrets.

Some stories were once well known but with the passage of time, have been forgotten. The stones some broken and some with the words scrubbed away by wind and time.

But these people and their stories will never be forgotten. There will always be curious visitors who will look beyond the stones to uncover their stories.

Perhaps local historian Charles A. Church said it best in his book, History of Rockford and Winnebago County.

“Love that survives the tomb has been called the purest kind of attribute to the soul. This love finds expression in the monuments erected over the graves of the dead. Our cemeteries have been made more beautiful by the cultivation of the artistic sense, and by a deeper realization of the truth that death is but the doorway.” R. Kathi Kresol is a local historian, author and speaker. She has shared her love of Rockford’s history for years and considers it an honor to research the stories of those who once called Rockford home.

fan favorites from throughout the run of the show to compete in a “battle royale” of special effects makeup.

Likewise, CMT is allowing Nashville its swan song, partly because they didn’t want to put fans through the emotional wringer of pondering the fates of their favorite characters. That’s why CMT announced last fall that this would be its final season, allowing writers and producers to wrap up storylines to ensure all of the stories get told and it doesn’t end on another cliffhanger like when it was cancelled by ABC. As much as I love that two of my favorite shows are back with new episodes this week, it’s bittersweet. I don’t want to say goodbye to Face Off or Nashville. While I’m

starting to accept that Nashville will soon be over, I’m still harboring a slight hope that Face Off might live on in some way.

Meanwhile, while I’m still anxious about the fate of Timeless, it feels as if the longer NBC takes to announce its fate, the more likely it is that the Lifeboat could be back in business —for at least one more season. R. Programming Notes: The final season of Face Off continues Tuesdays at 8 p.m. on SyFy The final eight episodes of Nashville return Thursday, June 7 at 8 p.m. on CMT, but for those of us who no longer get CMT in our cable packages, new episodes will be repeated at 1 a.m. the following day on TV Land, or anytime on Hulu

Final Seasons

By Paula Hendrickson Contributor

Some TV series, like FX’s The Americans, which aired its series finale last week, get to go out on a high note, while other shows end seasons leaving fans wondering if there will be another season at all.

As of press time fans of NBC’s Timeless were still waiting to learn the fate of that series. Aafter such a protracted delay in announcing the decision, I wouldn’t doubt if it is renewed, but for a final season, much as The CW announced for three of its series – Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, Jane the Virgin, and iZombie.

Such indecision leaves fans on an emotional rollercoaster. Even when series

are canceled, there’s always the hope that the shows will be picked up by different networks. The same day Fox announced the cancellation of the comedy Brooklyn Nine-Nine, NBC picked it up. And a couple years ago when ABC canceled Nashville, CMT snapped it up.

The same kind of uncertainty happens to unscripted series, too.

Pretty much the moment Syfy revealed that the new season of its addictive reality competition show, Face Off, would be its last, fans started an online petition to save the show. I love Face Off, so I hope the petition works (I signed it after all), but even if the petition fails, at least Syfy is letting the show go out with a bang as it brings back

State Bicentennial

Muddy Waters wrote the songs of Chicago’s blues legacy

By Jeff Johnson

Courtesy of the Chicago Sun-Times

Since June 2017, Muddy Waters’ image has beamed down from a 10-story mural at 17 N. State St. in Chicago. But the king bee of Chicago blues looms even larger over the city with his outsized musical and cultural legacy.

The Mississippi Delta native, born McKinley Morganfield in 1913, followed the Great Migration to Chicago in 1943, where he found stardom with his groundbreaking electric guitar sound and classic bands. He died at age 70 in 1983, but new generations of artists often cite the influence of the six-time Grammy winner and Rock and Roll Hall of Famer, and Waters’ songs such as “I’m Your Hoochie Coochie Man” and “Rollin’ Stone” are used frequently by filmmakers and advertisers.

International tourists visit Chicago to bathe in Waters’ lore, including a visit to his longtime home at 4339 S. Lake Park. There’s not much to see, though, because the house that Tim Samuelson, Chicago’s cultural historian, has called Chicago’s most historic home has stood vacant and in a state of disrepair for many years. Plans are stalled to convert the Kenwood two-flat into a museum or other attraction.

Waters’ bluesman son Larry “Mud” Morganfield, who like his dad is a singer-songwriter-guitarist, spent time at the house, but never lived there. But he quickly rattles off the names of blues stars who did. ​​“James Cotton, Pinetop Perkins, Otis Spann and Little Walter all stayed there, and everyone from Paul Butterfield to Keith Richards went there,” Morganfield said. “I don’t care to have that house. What I care about is the house standing and representing Chicago as the real house of the blues. …

Chicago needs to keep this man’s legacy alive.”

Morganfield admitted that being the son of a blues immortal can be a doubleedged sword from a career standpoint.

“It’s both a curse and a blessing,” he said. “You have people who say, ‘He sounds like his dad, but he ain’t Muddy.’

Of course I’m not. But I have other people come up and tell me, ‘I had a lump in my throat because you remind me so much of your daddy.’ “ Others who want to walk in Waters’ footprints may visit the Chess Studios (www.bluesheaven.com/historic-chess-studios.html) at 2120 S. Michigan, where the bluesman recorded many of his best-known records and rock ‘n’ roll icon Chuck Berry strutted

his stuff. Family members of the late Willie Dixon, who penned some of the biggest hits of Waters and fellow Chess artists such as Howlin’ Wolf, operate the studios with their nonprofit Blues Heaven Foundation.

Keith Nelson, Dixon’s grandson, conducts the tours and serves on the Blues Heaven board of directors. He said tours, which cost $10, are given hourly from noon to 4 p.m. Monday through Saturday. He said between 100 and 350 people tour Chess weekly, and many ask about Waters.

“He’s always a huge part of the legacy,” Nelson said. “Muddy would be your most popular artist. He was your face. I’m a big comic book fan, and if you had a blues comic book, Muddy would be your Superman.”

Musicians seeking to capture the Waters mojo may soon have their choice of two recording studios at Chess. “We’re planning to put older recording equipment from 1961 upstairs and modern recording equipment in a new studio downstairs,” Nelson said. “Hopefully this project will be done by the end of 2018 or early 2019.”

Carrying on the legacy of Waters and other postwar Chicago blues greats is the mission of current Chicago blues kingpin Buddy Guy, who once operated the late, lamented Checkerboard Lounge on a section of East 43rd Street renamed Muddy Waters Boulevard. Guy moved Downtown in 1989 with his Buddy Guy’s Legends (www.buddyguy.com), now at 700 S. Wabash.

While sweet home Chicago takes pride in its reputation as “the home of the blues,” with a lakefront festival that has drawn hundreds of thousands of music lovers yearly since 1984, the city also is a cornerstone of modern jazz. In fact, Chicago’s jazz fest predates its blues bash by a decade.

King Oliver and Jelly Roll Morton were early stars on the jazz scene, and the immortal Louis Armstrong further popularized the New Orleans sound in Chicago in the 1920s. Later Benny Goodman and a host of fellow big-band leaders swung at ballrooms such as the elegant Trianon in the Woodlawn neighborhood and the Aragon in Uptown.

Today the Association for the Advancement of Creative Musicians (www.aacmchicago.org) guides Chicago jazz in adventurous new directions, and the Green Mill Cocktail Lounge (www. greenmilljazz.com), 4802 N. Broadway, builds on its Prohibition-era tradition.

MR. GREEN CAR

Driving the Tesla Model 3

BY ALLEN PENTICOFF COLUMNIST

Dreams do sometimes come true.

It has long been a dream of my sailing friend Marc Holdwick to own an electric car. Marc is an electrical engineer from Arlington Heights, Illinois, so that desire should come as no surprise. When the Rockford Yacht Club recently met for a Cinco de Mayo gathering at a Rockford Mexican restaurant, I overheard Marc say he just got a new car. Knowing Marc, I assumed he got a Tesla – and I was correct.

He had just picked up his brand new Tesla Model 3 and driven it straight from the Tesla store to the gathering. Literally, it had 50 miles on it.

We went out to oogle it after dinner, but I did not drive or even sit in this rare new car then. I insisted one of our senior members go for a quick ride since he’d never ridden in an electric car before. Marc promised me a full test drive for Mr. Green Car in the near future. That took place a few weeks later.

Marc was one of the first people to put down money to get on the list for buying a Model 3. He went straight to the store on the first day that you could make a deposit – thereby beating those who made an online deposit by several hours. He then waited two years for the car to arrive.

And what he got was a fabulous machine.

In pearl white (all colors other than black are a $1000 up charge) Premium package (better audio system, leather seats and more “trinkets” as Marc calls them) – the whole thing set him back about $50,000, which is typical, as Tesla is not yet building the base standard models. Having an early serial number (20,500) car, he can take the full Federal tax credit of $7,500. Tesla has 400,000 prepaid deposits for the Model 3 and is building about 4,000 per month.

Some later owners won’t get the full credit after production passes 200,000 units.

For the promised test drive Marc drove his car to our home in New Milford. The first thing we did, with Marc driving and my wife in the passenger seat, was to go to the Tesla Supercharger at CherryVale Mall.

The car had about 120 miles of range left at the time, and the supercharger added a 100 miles and topped the battery at 220 miles in about 15 minutes (and automatically billing Marc for it – Supercharging is not free on the Model 3). One can adjust how full you want the battery, and Marc has his Model 3 set to only fill to 80 percent capacity (100 percent is 75 kW or 310 miles). In plugging in the car, Marc showed us you press a button on the charge plug and the charge door on the car opens. The door will also close on its own if you forget to do so.

The Model 3 is festooned with cameras and sensors all over the place. Each Model 3 comes equipped with all the hardware that can be expected if you want to have autopilot and all the other technology – but you can pay for the upgrades (options) later by buying just the software although it costs a bit more this way than buying it with

the car. Marc’s car does not have autopilot or adaptive cruise control – and he tones down the forward collision alert.

The interior is sumptuous and simple.

Like Bang and Olufsen audio equipment.

There are no switches on the dashboard.

No shifter sticking up from the center console. No pod above the steering wheel.

Just a big flat screen and a wood finish strip across the dashboard. The very comfortable leather steering wheel has two discreet multi-function switches/knobs that control things like the cruise control. A turn signal stalk (with nice clicking reminder sound) sprouts in the usual place, and a shifter stalk sprouts from the right side. An interesting feature of the latter is a button on the end of the stalk to put the Tesla in park – it will also go into park if you open the door while stopped. A button on the inside door handle releases the door – but you need to provide a push to open it. It should be clearer what it does – it could be a safety issue.

The seats are quite comfortable – the rear fold down to increase the already generous rear trunk capacity. Four golf bags at once would be no problem. Then there is the front trunk “frunk” where Marc stores

the charge cord and its several adapters.

Marc says he’d like to have Recaro racing seats – and I would agree. After blasting around a parking lot – pulling nearly 1G in the turns, the seats are not quite as snug as one would need to accommodate the kind of seriously spirited driving the Model 3 can provide. The suspension is quite taught – making it VERY spirited – 0-60 mph is 4.7 thrilling seconds. I would undoubtedly say it was the best handling car I’ve ever driven. Although, accordingly, the car does feel every bump in the road. The instant and exceptional power is addictive and adds tremendously to its ability to handle like a true sports car. In this regard, it is sportier than the heavier and more powerful model S, which the Model 3 is like an 80 percent scale version of. Marc says if the Tesla S and the Model 3 where the same price – he’d still chose the Model 3. I would agree.

I’ve previously tested the Chevy Bolt and was quite enthused. Still am. I thought I could live with its spirited nature too and not need to wait for a Model 3. But the design, quality, fit and finish, features, handling and great look of the Model 3 simply blow the dowdy looking Bolt away.

The Model 3 is clearly worth the wait (Tesla’s website pushes buying a Model S now versus waiting for a Model 3). In my next column, I’ll get into “numbers” and features of the Model 3.

With a little more waiting, electric car shoppers can get the less expensive $35,000 standard version, or wait for the new performance and AWD versions of the Model 3 to come out. Marc very reluctantly gave up on his much beloved Toyota Camry Hybrid when his new Tesla arrived. But it was his long held dream come true and it was his turn to be the envy of all.

Rockford Rocked Interview

Catching up with Greg Kihn ahead of OSD

By Todd Houston Contributor

Rockford Rocked Interview: Greg Kihn!

How are you doing Man? Greg Kihn: Doing great Todd!

RRI: What’s going on with this Rick Springfield ‘Best in Show’ tour? You guys are going to be at Rockton’s Old Settlers Days Festival on June 16.

GK: Yes we are! Yeah it’s kind of interesting as I did some touring back in the ‘80s with Rick when “Jessie’s Girl” was out. We did a huge tour of Canada and across the USA. Women just love this guy! Back in the ‘80s with Rick if we played a venue that held 10,000 people, 9,999 were women! (laughs) RRI: So Loverboy is on the tour as well?

GK: Yes, and Tommy Two Tone. These are some of my oldest friends really. I’ve played a million gigs with both of these bands throughout the years. It’s a nice little package and easy on everybody. Back in the old days it was always a lot of work to go out and tour but now it just seems fun.

RRI: You guys are no strangers to Rockford. I can remember when you played here with Starship. I believe it was Grace Slick’s 40th birthday.

GK: You bet. We toured with Starship, Journey, Boz Scaggs, you name it. For a

while there we were America’s opening band! (laughs) Back in the early days the guys in Cheap Trick were good friends of mine. Between the two of us we opened for everyone! We were truly America’s favorite opening bands. I’m really looking forward to this time out on tour. We have a new album out called Rekihndled that’s doing pretty good. We’re also working on a bunch of new songs so who knows, we might have some ready to play by then.

RRI: It’s been about 20 years since your last album. What made you decide to start writing again?

GK: It’s interesting because I was on the radio for 18 years doing the morning show on KFOX radio in San Francisco. It was a lot of fun, Todd, but being on the radio meant that I couldn’t go out on the road and tour.

So for 18 years I was juggling different balls and eventually they cut me loose but I had been yearning all this time to do another album. We started working on it immediately and I was surprised at how easy it was! We would sit down and come up with some licks and they would fly right into a song. My main message in life is that if it’s too hard don’t do it. Writing songs should be the easiest thing in the world you know?

When we wrote the song “Jeopardy” I can remember my buddy Steve came over with

a new Casio keyboard one day and he just started banging out the main riff and out of the clear blue sky I started singing “our loves in jeopardy”! The song wrote itself in about 15 minutes! And that’s how all the good ones are written.

RRI: You always have the coolest guitars Greg. You must be one of those guys that never sells anything. (laughs) GK: It’s funny that you say that because I just did an interview with Vintage Guitar Magazine. I’ve always been a Fender Telecaster guy and have been the original owner of that sunburst Tele Custom that you see a lot on my albums since 1970. I’ve been through many phases though and there was a time when I was crazy about the 12 string Rickenbacker electric. I got one of those 320 Rick 12 strings like the one the Byrds’ Jim Mcguinn used used but the problem was that the neck was too thin and I couldn’t get my Polish sausage-like fingers to play right on it! (laughs) So I ended up settling for a VOX Phantom 12 string because the neck was really wide. I still have all of my guitars.

RRI: Tell me the greatest thing about being a musician.

GK: Look, being a musician is a great job because you are doing things that are fun.

Right? If it isn’t then you are probably in

the wrong line of work. I’ll tell ya, none of the stuff that I have done in my life actually qualifies as real work. (laughs) I’m a lucky guy, I’ve been blessed with a great career.

RRI: Weird Al Yankovic did a parody of Jeopardy. What was it like working with him?

GK: Well you really haven’t arrived until Weird Al has done a parody of one of your songs. I remember the day he called me out of the clear blue sky and said, “hey listen I’ve got a parody that I want to do called ‘I lost on Jeopardy’” and he sang it for me over the phone. I said that’s great! So I went down and got to meet all the guys including Don Pardo (famous television show announcer). We shot the video and believe it or not that video was one of the very first “concept” videos to hit MTV. I had a hit twice with that song! Amazing.

RRI: Well hey I’m really looking forward to seeing the show on June 16 in Rockton.

Like you said, Rick Springfield will be performing so there will be no shortage of cute girls in the audience.

GK: Yeah, for sure. So your going to be out at the gig?

RRI: Absolutely. I’ll be looming around backstage somewhere.

GK: Well look for me and we’ll hang out and chew the fat a bit!

Troubleshooting fruit tree issues

BY GRANT MCCARTY CONTRIBUTOR

Early summer is typically the time when I get a number of phone calls to the University of Illinois Extension o�ce asking what’s wrong with a backyard fruit tree. These issues begin to show up between spring and summer. Some of these issues can be resolved currently while other problems will need to be addressed next year.

It is important to realize that some of the problems you face are out of your control. Cold winters that dip into the negatives can kill buds before the season begins. Peach buds will be killed when temperatures reach below -9 F for multiple days. Late spring frosts can also harm apple buds. For both those issues, hope for a more mild winter in 2019.

Another common problem can be poor pollination. You need more than one variety of apple trees to cross-pollinate. This may explain why you have never gotten any fruit from your apple trees if all you have planted are one variety. There is not an immediate solution, as you need to now add another apple variety in the backyard.

Apple Scab is a disease that overwinters on fruit and leaves from the

fall then during wet springs will move onto this year’s fruit and leaves. Rake up and remove any leaves that are still there from last year to keep this disease from being a problem.

If you had a lot of fruit last summer but find you don’t have a lot of buds this season, you may find that your pear and/or apple trees have entered biennial fruiting. Yet again, this is an issue that needs to be addressed this upcoming winter by properly pruning your trees.

In June and July, remove any fruit/ leaves that have dropped. Insects like apple maggot will tend to hang out in this fruit then move to fruit on the tree. Apple maggot traps are available and should be hung around July 1st.

These sticky, red spheres do a good job of trapping apple maggots though you need 1 trap per 100 apples on your tree.

Keep in mind that proper diagnosis is key to disease, insect, and physical disorders. Contact the local University of Illinois Extension o�ce in your county for assistance. R.

Some good things happen

BY DRS. ROBERT & SONIA VOGL CONTRIBUTORS

While the list of global and local environmental woes continues to expand, citizen interest and e�ort directed at protecting and improving life for present and future generations has always existed. We along with others have participated in several of those e�orts and experienced some local successes to buoy our spirits in the ongoing struggles to protect the planet from some of the ravages of the human enterprise. We wish to share our perspective of having participated in and watching some small e�orts grow and develop into significant projects.

After securing our first teaching jobs in Palatine, we quickly found our way to the Morton Arboretum and enrolled in several of their classes. We soon found ourselves assisting Ray Schulenberg who had just started raising prairie plants under greenhouse conditions and transplanting them on land within the Arboretum.

At the time, the prairie preservation movement in Illinois consisted of a few dedicated individuals identifying prairie remnants scattered across the state. From those meager beginnings, substantial prairie restoration projects exist throughout the area including those at Nachusa Grasslands, Nygren Wetlands and numerous others.

Most of these e�orts began among a few individuals active locally who eventually left some tangible signs of their e�orts primarily in the form of parks, preserves and natural areas. An e�ort to preserve the beauty of the Rock River Corridor has evolved into the nationally recognized Rock River Trail Initiative.

As faculty members at NIU we taught a variety of courses related to the environment. We were inspired by the work of Amory and Hunter Lovins and their e�orts on energy e�ciency at the Rocky Mountain Institute. After retiring from teaching we joined with others to

create the Illinois Renewable Energy Association and held our first Renewable Energy Fair modelled after the Midwest and Iowa Renewable Energy Fairs.

Renewable energy e�orts have grown into a significant national and international e�ort to transition to cleaner energy sources.

The federal government’s retreat from the clean energy transition has intensified citizen interest in focusing on what can be done in people’s own communities to accelerate that transition.

Re-focusing once again on Amory Lovins and the Rocky Mountain Institute, they characterize the e�ort to address climate change as an “unstoppable momentum.” Lovins continues his optimistic assessment in the current issue of the Solutions Journal that the economic benefits of energy e�ciency and curtailing carbon emissions far exceed their costs while improving environmental conditions.

The current focus is on local actions directed at modifying the human enterprise to become far more sustainable over the long term than with existing practices.

There is always the need for trend setters to initiate positive actions which can serve as models of what is possible to do.

Several Midwestern cities, movement including Chicago, Minneapolis and Grand Rapids are in a list of 12 across the nation identified as leaders of the sustainable development. Some impressive sustainability e�orts are also occurring in Madison, Milwaukee, Springfield and Des Moines.

While there are similar actions occurring in the Rockford area, existing incentives call for more vigorous action on energy e�ciency and renewable energy as key components of sustainable development. Hopefully, the first Sustainability Summit (www.rockfordcoalition.org) will stimulate a more aggressive e�ort toward those ends here. R.

But when a ranch boss’ promiscuous wife is found dead in the barn, it’s obvious that Lennie, albeit accidentally, killed her. George, now worried about his own safety, knows exactly where Lennie has gone to hide, and he meets him there. Realizing they can’t run away anymore, George is faced

with a moral question: how should he deal with Lennie before the ranchers find him and take matters into their own hands. Presented by Pec Playhouse Theatre, 314 Main St., in Pecatonica.

Stop lending money so easily and your relationships will only become stronger.

THERE IS A NEED FOR NEW PHYSICAL THERAPY EQUIPMENT

M

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

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

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

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

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

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

Ideal candidate must have valid drivers license e, knowledge of plant material includin ng Annuals. Experience residential/com mmerciaal maintenance including installation n and caare of plant material. Duties include care of residential and commercial land dscaping, watering, weeding, pruning, dead heading and planting, instaallation of seasonal bed plants and ornamental containers, Spring & Fall cleanup Special Olympics Update 6

The second contract plight of the Bears comes into focus with their 2016 Draft

By Robert Zeglinski Contributor

Building an NFL contender is an inexact science. There’s no true method that consistently works. Plus, fortune with moves made plays a great part into actual success regardless of efforts.

However, most agree that quality drafting - particularly drafting that has selected players stick around on second contracts - plays the most sizable role in an NFL team staying relevant. If you consistently draft well and are able to get your homegrown talent to stick around past a rookie contract, you heavily mitigate fortune not smiling upon your team.

It is here where the modern Bears have failed the most. Where a team that has just four playoff appearances in the 21st century has routinely fallen short. From Jerry Angelo to Phil Emery and Ryan Pace (though Pace’s selections are still early to make any second contract judgment on yet), Chicago has rarely had had drafted players sign second contracts with the organization.

Since 2000, the Bears have drafted 139 players. Of that talent pool, just 11 have stuck around on second contracts: Brian Urlacher, Mike Brown, Terrence Metcalf, Alex Brown, Lance Briggs, Charles Tillman, Rex Grossman, Devin Hester, Matt Forte, Kyle Long, and Kyle Fuller. If one includes pending decisions on 2015 draft picks Eddie Goldman (likely) and Adrian Amos (50-50), that number rises to 13. Not ideal roster construction.

You could also make the claim that guys like Metcalf and Grossman (who signed short-term deals) weren’t the types of guys you look for on second contracts in actuality.

In any event, a little over 10 percent of drafted Bears staying on second contract extensions is a paltry figure that leads to the Bears being caught in the molasses of one of the NFL’s worst modern franchises on the field. If not for their place in a major market like Chicago, this horrid effort in drafting would leave the Bears in the shadows of the sports conversation until they were absolute contenders again.

The moral is that Pace needs to reverse

this trend if they hope to make the Bears a contender year in and year out for the first time since the 1980s. Since Pace is early in his tenure, we won’t be able to properly ascertain his second contract drafting for some time. As mentioned, guys like Goldman and Amos, are only now leading the discussion as they enter their fourth professional seasons. And they were part of Pace’s first Bears draft class.

Following 2018, it’ll be time to put the 2016 Bears’ draft class under a microscope. That is the draft led by first rounder Leonard Floyd.

Let’s examine the parameters from the crown jewels of Chicago’s 2016 draft in Floyd, Cody Whitehair, and Jordan Howard. And, whether they’ve earned another deal, have more work to do, or are unlikely to return once their rookie contracts are up.

Leonard Floyd, Edge: First round, No. 9 overall

Earned a second contract? No Quotable: “I know they’re chomping at the bit to get out here, but we just need to be smart,” Nagy said of Floyd and Allen Robinson during this year’s organized team activities, who are both recovering from knee injuries.

What must be accomplished: Floyd is one of the most naturally gifted players in football. The Bears count on him to cover tight ends and running backs, set the defensive edge, and rush the passer because he’s a stellar athlete. However, he’s missed 10 games in two seasons due to a variety of injuries. Right now, he’s not worth keeping around on a monster second deal.

Of course, being Pace’s crown jewel defensive pick, the Bears would prefer that Floyd does prove to be worthy of calling Chicago a long term home. If Floyd stays on the field for a majority of the games Chicago plays next year, he should be a consistent force that the Bears have no problem talking extension with next spring. Note that since Floyd is a first round selection, the Bears have the choice of using a fifth round option on him: which they must decide by next May.

Cody Whitehair, C: Second round, No. 56 overall

Earned a second contract? No Quotable: “Having consistency in what they’re being asked to do, and then doing it over and over,” offensive line coach Harry Hiestand on Whitehair and 2018 second round pick James Daniels, to The Athletic.

What must be accomplished: As a rookie in 2016, Whitehair was one of the NFL’s bring young offensive lineman. He was named to the PFWA All-Rookie Team and picked as a breakout player going into the 2017 season. He was everything the doctor ordered for the Bears at center.

In 2017, after being moved around due to injuries along Chicago’s offensive front, was a different story as Whitehair struggled to maintain the form he showcased as a rookie. From bad snaps to lost leverage, Whitehair seemed like a shell of himself, though one that had more been shaken by an incompetent coaching staff, than a guy who had forgotten how to play.

With the guru Hiestand in the fold, a young partner in James Daniels, and a coaching staff that generally understands its most optimal to keep players comfortable: Whitehair shouldn’t have to worry about being jerked around further. 2018 begins an era for the 25-year-old that allows him to get back on track towards becoming a true elite Bears center in the same conversation as former perennial All-Pro Olin Kreutz.

By the end of next season, Chicago should have no issues lock ing in Whitehair as the foundation of their offensive line for years.

Jordan Howard, RB: Fifth round, No. 150 overall

Earned a second contract? Maybe Quotable: “In this offense, it’s more game-specific,” Nagy on what the bruising Howard’s role is in his scheme.

What must be accomplished: From a production standpoint, Howard doesn’t have to do more to show he belongs in the NFL. He clearly does.

Howard’s already 14th in Bears’ history with 2,435 yards. He’s the only Bears

running back to rush for 1,000 yards in each of his first two seasons and is the fastest to 10 100-yard games. That includes Walter Payton, Gale Sayers, and Matt Forte. Whether his career in Chicago continues beyond his rookie four-year deal is a different story from whether he should play a lengthy amount of time as a professional, because he will.

No, where Howard needs to prove himself, is that the powerful runner can exist in a diverse offense that demands he be more of a receiving threat. In his first two years, Howard has dropped 12 passes despite only 82 combined targets. He’s not a legitimate weapon in the passing game and likely never will be: even with slight improvements as an occasional safety valve for the quarterback.

The question is how much this limits Howard’s role in Chicago’s new offense.

Howard is closer to a running back that plays in a stable of players who can grind it out between the tackles when called upon, than a complete tailback like Los Angeles’ Todd Gurley or Kansas City’s Kareem Hunt, that do it all for their teams.

Howard will find an easier time with wider running lanes given how less predictable this Bears’ attack purports to be. But that doesn’t mean his production automatically rises. He’ll have a role to play, yet he’s not someone that should expect to be around 250 carries again.

There are too many weapons and other complete options that Chicago possesses.

If Howard proves valuable enough in his niche role, then perhaps the Bears extend him. If he’s expecting a lucrative deal in that scenario, then he’ll be sorely mistaken. Running backs do not get immense commitments of this nature. If the top all-around guys like Pittsburgh’s Le’Veon Bell have been fighting for a new deal for a few years, then Howard has another battle of his own on the way regardless of his 2018 performance.
