RAM hosts art & fashion events

By Brian Hardeman

Intern, Rockford Art Museum

During the last week of June, Rockford Art Museum (RAM) hosted a four-day event full of flowers and fashion. The third annual Art in Bloom was on view Tuesday, June 26, to Friday, June 29, along with a preview party held Monday, June 25. Art in Bloom showcased floral interpretations by local designers of select works of art that were juried into the 2018 Rockford Midwestern Biennial.

Fashion in Bloom: Tea and Living Couture, on Wednesday, June 27, was a full-service midday tea that corresponded with Art in Bloom by transforming floral design into fashion. Partnering with local floral design shops Event Floral and Poska, as well as local fashion boutique b jones and partners Arch and Beth Ann Weis, various dresses and fashion accessories were created and walked down the runway.

Once the doors opened at 10 a.m., guests mingled and viewed the works of the Midwestern Biennial along with the Art in Bloom interpretations. At noon, the tea service began and everyone took to their seats and enjoyed catering by GreenFire. Just an hour later, music by Luxe Productions filled the room as the fashion show took place. Floral patterns were projected throughout the gallery as models walked down the runway decorated head to toe in their floral arrangements.

Despite being the first-ever Fashion in Bloom RAM has put on, the new fundraising event was sold out, and after being there it was easy to tell why. Everything from the wonderful works of art and floral designs filling the gallery, amazing level of production, attention to detail and great service set the bar high for future dates.

If you’re looking for other programs and events to attend, RAM is full of them this

summer. On July 23, join RAM Artist-InResidence Carmen Turner of MainFraiM for Plein Air on the Rock, an evening of sketching along the Rock River. Participants paint the beauty of downtown Rockford in this outdoor spin on RAM’s Cork + Canvas series.

If you’re needing a place for kids to release their creativity, RAM offers Summer Camp: Art Around the World from July 30 to Aug. 2. Campers will learn about the art of different cultures and create their own versions of these remarkable traditions.

R A M is also presenting the 70th Greenwich Village Art Fair happening Sept. 15-16. The annual two-day outdoor event features more than 100 artists from around the region and across the nation, live music, local and regional vendors, children’s activities and food and drink throughout the fair.

Museum curator Carrie Johnson takes on role as artist in solo exhibition in Kortman Gallery From Kortman Gallery

Rockford Art Museum curator Carrie Johnson has built an exhilarating and challenging career in the art world selecting and installing exhibitions, lecturing about art, and supporting and working with artists.

She has now come to a time in her career where she crosses over to the artist side of the art world, culminating with her first solo gallery exhibition. “On the Other Side: New Works by Carrie Johnson” opens First Friday, July 6th in the Kortman Gallery in downtown Rockford.

“After being in the art world for so long, I have felt a need to personally express myself creatively,” says Johnson. “I have been fortunate to be around the creative energy of other artists, who not only inspire, but encourage artistic expression. Now I feel like I’m running alongside or falling in with them.”

Johnson’s bold abstract works are not only visually striking, but have an engaging tactile quality, a result of her use of textural materials blended with paint and other

unconventional surfaces.

“My work primarily focuses on composition and texture,” writes Johnson.

“Although there is greater meaning to each mark that is executed, I prefer the viewer form their own narrative about the piece translate the mark on their own. None of the paintings are organic. Quite the opposite actually. Each gesture is throughly thought out and very deliberate.”

The First Friday Kortman Gallery opening reception for Johnson’s exhibit will also feature a live performance of ambient music by guitarist Rick Zillhart followed by cool sounds from Dj BISU (aka Erik Olson).

“On the Other Side: New Works by Carrie Johnson” opening reception is from 5:30 to 10pm and on display through August 31st.

The Kortman Gallery is located upstairs at J. R. Kortman Center for Design, 107 North Main Street in Downtown Rockford. For more information call 815-968-0123 or visit www.jrkortman.com.

Mexico’s victor pledges to ‘reach understanding’ with Trump

By Peter Orsi and Mark Stevenson Associated Press

MEXICO CITY (AP) — Fresh off a landslide victory, Mexico’s newly elected leftist president Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador pledged Monday to “reach an understanding” with Donald Trump amid uncertain times for two countries that must seek consensus on everything from contentious trade talks to cooperation on security and migration.

During a half-hour telephone conversation, Trump said the two leaders discussed topics including border security, trade and the North American Free Trade Agreement, adding that “I think the relationship will be a very good one.”

In an interview with the Televisa news network, Lopez Obrador did not provide specifics on what an “understanding” with the Trump administration might look like, except to emphasize the need for mutual respect and cooperation between the two neighbors.

“We are conscious of the need to maintain good relations with the United States.

We have a border of more than 3,000 kilometers, more than 12 million Mexicans live in the United States. It is our main economic-commercial partner,” he said.

“We are not going to fight. We are always going to seek for there to be an agreement. ... We are going to extend our frank hand to seek a relation of friendship, I repeat, of cooperation with the United States.”

Meanwhile, members of the business and political elite who fiercely opposed Lopez Obrador’s populist candidacy pledged to support his presidency in a loyal opposition, and the largely orderly vote in which his rivals conceded defeat gracefully – and quickly – was hailed as a win for democracy in the country.

With nearly three-quarters of the ballots counted, Lopez Obrador had about 53 percent of the vote — the most for any presidential candidate since 1982, a time when the Institutional Revolutionary Party was in its 71-year domination of Mexican politics and ruling party victories were a given.

Rivals Ricardo Anaya and Jose Antonio Meade acknowledged Lopez Obrador’s win even before official results were announced, in a break from past elections.

Lopez Obrador himself refused to accept his two previous presidential losses, and in 2006 his supporters set up a protest camp that caused months of chaos in downtown Mexico City.

Lopez Obrador, who rode a wave of popular anger over government corruption to become the first self-described leftist

elected to the Mexican presidency in four decades, has pointedly sought to reassure his respect for the constitution, private property and individual rights, vowing there will be no expropriations even as he pushes to “eradicate” endemic corruption.

He announced a team of advisers that includes prominent businessman Alfonso Romo – a friend of telecom magnate Carlos Slim, one of the world’s wealthiest people – and widely respected politician Tatiana Clouthier, formerly a member of Anaya’s conservative party, apparently seeking to signal that nobody should fear his promise of “profound change.”

Business leaders who have openly warred with Lopez Obrador for years vowed to work with him and said fighting graft is an area where they see eye-to-eye.

“We have a lot in common as well as profound differences,” said Gustavo de Hoyos, president of the Mexican Employer’s Confederation, Coparmex.

He added the private sector would defend recent initiatives, such as an energy reform bill that opened the sector to private investors under President Enrique Pena Nieto, “that have benefited competitiveness.”

Lopez Obrador previously vowed to throw the energy reform out but now says contracts merely will be reviewed for any illegalities. While his allies are forecast to likely dominate both houses of congress, he may not enjoy the two-thirds majority needed for outright reversal.

Mexico’s main stock index and the peso were both down Monday, but analysts at Banco Base attributed the currency’s drop to broader global movement in favor of the U.S. dollar and speculation about U.S. interest rates. Investors have long been expecting a victory by Lopez Obrador, who held double-digit leads in polls for months.

Prominent intellectual Enrique Krauze, who famously labeled Lopez Obrador a “tropical messiah” during his first presidential run in 2006, said via Twitter that he wishes “for his government to become an emblem of ethics for the world.”

The next president is unlike most of his predecessors in many ways: Devoutly religious, he is a career activist instead of a lawyer, military officer or businessman, and the first president in a century to speak in a marked regional accent, from his native Tabasco state in Mexico’s tropical lowlands.

Lopez Obrador plans to eschew the presidential mansion tucked into Mexico City’s verdant Chapultepec park, preferring to remain at his modest home on the capital’s south side and working from offices in the colonial National Palace downtown.

He also plans to tour the country without secret service protection, and to dissolve the guard corps that has protected presidents since 1926.

Lopez Obrador arrived at a hotel in downtown Mexico City for the first of two victory speeches Sunday night in a bland white sedan befitting the “man of the people” image he has projected for over a decade.

He left in a decidedly more presidential luxury SUV – though he rolled down the windows to wave to adoring supporters – underscoring that the man who spent the last 12 years as a persistent government critic from outside the halls of power must now govern amid considerable challenges for the country, and deliver on ambitious but vaguely outlined campaign promises.

Voters will expect him to put into concrete action his anti-corruption agenda, reign in rising killings and cartel violence that have stubbornly resisted the efforts of his two predecessors, and revive a sluggish economy that grew just 2.1 percent last year.

Commonly known by his initials, “AMLO,” Lopez Obrador has proposed measures like a huge increase in infrastructure spending, but it’s not clear how he can do that if he fulfills a promise not to raise taxes.

Lopez Obrador won thanks to overwhelming anger at the status quo and his success at presenting himself as an agent of change. But he’s been frustratingly vague on how he’ll go about it.

“I think what happens now is Mexico begins to look for signs of what an AMLO presidency means, because we don’t know right now,” said Shannon O’Neil, senior fellow for Latin America studies at the Council on Foreign Relations. “What are the signals that he sends out to markets, to

his political opponents, to Mexican society generally, of what he’ll actually do when he comes into office?”

Lopez Obrador has been compared to Trump for his populist, nationalist rhetoric and sometimes touchy personality – as well as his past skepticism about NAFTA. But he now supports reaching an agreement with the United States and Canada, though talks have been stalled over Trump administration demands for higher U.S. content and a “sunset clause” in the 1994 trade agreement.

U.S. Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross told CNBC that Mexico “needs some sort of an arrangement” given its dependence on American consumers and businesses, having shipped $314 billion in goods to the United States last year. Beyond that, Ross said it was unclear whether Mexico’s incoming president would either bring in new negotiators or set a different agenda.

“It’s really a question of when the talks resume,” Ross said.

Compared with his predecessors, Lopez Obrador is likely to be more focused on domestic economic issues than on settling trade issues with the United States, O’Neil said. This may mean that any future negotiations are unlikely to shift the focus.

“They will inherit the talks where they are – currently at a standstill, largely given U.S. recalcitrance to compromise with its neighbors,” she said, noting that Mexico has imposed its own retaliatory tariffs and the new administration would likely follow the same approach.

Lopez Obrador said he will propose that his own experts be included in the talks, but will respect Mexico’s current negotiating team as they continue to represent Mexico until he takes office Dec. 1.

Thai rescuers find missing boys and coach alive in cave

Today

BY TASSANEE VEJPONGSA

July 5

ASSOCIATED PRESS

MAE SAI, Thailand (AP) — Rescuers found all 12 boys and their soccer coach alive deep inside a partially flooded cave in northern Thailand late Monday, more than a week after they disappeared and touched o� a desperate search that drew international help and captivated the nation.

Video released early Tuesday by the Thai navy showed the boys in their soccer uniforms sitting on a dry area inside the cave above the water as a spotlight, apparently from a rescuer, illuminated their faces.

Chiang Rai provincial Gov. Narongsak Osatanakorn said the 13 were in the process of being rescued, but he cautioned that they were not out of danger yet.

“We found them safe. But the operation isn’t over,” he said in comments broadcast nationwide, referring to the complicated process of extricating them.

Family members of the missing hugged each other as they cheered the news.

Aisha Wiboonrungrueng, the mother of 11-year-old Chanin Wiboonrungrueng, smiled and hugged her family as news of their discovery spread. She said she would cook her son a Thai fried omelet, his favorite food, when he returns home.

Rescue divers had spent much of Monday making preparations for a final push to locate the lost soccer players, aged 11 to 16, and their 25-year-old coach. They disappeared when flooding trapped them after entering the Tham Luang Nang Non cave in Chiang Rai on June 23.

Narongsak said the divers located the missing about 300-400 meters (yards) past a section of the cave that was on higher ground and was thought to be where the team members and their coach may have taken shelter.

“When the medics have evaluated the kids to see if their health is in good condition, we will care for them until they have enough strength to move by themselves, and then we will evaluate the situation on bringing them out again later,” Narongsak said.

In the 5-minute navy video, the boys are quiet as they sit on their haunches, legs bent in front of them. They are clad in the uniforms they apparently were wearing on the morning they disappeared in the cave.

“You are very strong,” one of the rescuers says to them in English. One of them asks what day it is, and the rescuer responds, “Monday. Monday. You have been here — 10 days.

One of the boys, noticing the camera and hearing words they don’t immediately understand, says in Thai, “Oh, they want to take a picture; tell him we’re hungry. I haven’t had anything to eat.”

Then the boy breaks into simple English, saying, “Eat, eat, eat,” to which another voice responds in Thai that he already told that to the rescuer.

Anmar Mirza, a leading American cave rescue expert, said many challenges remain for the rescuers. He said the primary decision is whether to try to evacuate the boys and their coach or to supply them in place.

“Supplying them on site may face challenges depending on how di�cult the dives are,” Mirza, coordinator of the U.S. National Cave Rescue Commission, said in an email.

“Trying to take non-divers through a cave is one of the most dangerous situations possible, even if the dives are relatively easy.

That also begets the question: If the dives are di�cult then supply will be di�cult, but the risk of trying to dive them out is also exponentially greater.”

Prime Minister Prayuth Chan-ocha thanked the international experts and

rescuers who helped locate the missing for their “tremendous e�orts.”

“The Royal Thai Government and the Thai people are grateful for this support and cooperation, and we all wish the team a safe and speedy recovery,” Prayuth’s o�ce said in a statement.

Thai navy SEAL divers and rescue workers from other countries had made initial progress through a narrow passageway early Monday after passing through a key chamber on Sunday whose high, murky waters had previously blocked their progress.

Gov. Narongsak had said earlier the passageway goes upward in some places and downward in others and is very narrow, making it di�cult for divers and their gear to fit through.

Divers have been stymied repeatedly by rising water that forced them to withdraw for safety reasons. When water levels fell Sunday, the divers went forward with a more methodical approach, deploying a rope line and extra oxygen supplies along the way.

The SEALs’ Facebook page said that since Sunday night, the divers had reached a bend where the kilometer-long (half-mile) passage splits in two directions. The divers were aiming for a sandy chamber on higher ground in the cave.

Narongsak explained early Monday that fixing rope lines and deploying oxygen tanks along their route will allow the divers to operate.

In addition to the divers, teams have been working to pump out water as well as divert groundwater. Other e�orts have focused on finding shafts on the mountainside that might serve as a back door to the blocked-o� areas.

Teams have been combing the mountainside looking for fissure that might lead to such shafts. Several have been found and explorers have been able to descend into some.

Experts in cave rescues from around the world had gathered at the site. An o�cial Australian group has followed a U.S. military team, British cave experts, Chinese lifesaving responders and several other volunteer groups from various countries.

“These are challenging conditions and there’s a lot of consideration for safety as well as, the environment outside is contributing to the environment inside,” said U.S. Air Force Capt. Jessica Tait, part of a 30-member U.S. military team assisting in the search, referring to the rain that has been flooding the cave. “So I’d say, yeah, it’s an accurate statement that it’s challenging.”

Rockford protesters brave heat to stand against immigration policy

By Jim Hagerty Reporter

ROCKFORD - Unforgiving heat and humidity didn’t stop nearly 1,000 people last Saturday from protesting the U.S. immigration policy that separated immigrant children from their parents at the Mexican border.

“I just felt like I had to do something,” Rockford Children’s March organizer Sara Dorner said. “I thought about my young children and how much I would ache if they were taken from me.”

Dorner was front and center Saturday after enduring a 16-hour bus ride from Washington, D.C., where she was arrested for protesting at the capitol.

And while the policy of taking children from their parents was stopped last week, many are still being held separately. To make matters worse, some of the children belong to parents seeking political asylum, meaning they were attempting to enter the United States legally. The actions of border-control agents were part of President Donald Trump’s “zero-tolerance” immigration policy.

Proponents claim the president was just following a law enacted by Democrats. As members of both parties, major religious groups and former first ladies spoke out against the practice, it was Trump who had the power to so but waited until concern escalated into national uproar.

Saturday’s local temperatures hovered around 98 degrees with a heat index of well over 100, something Dorner said pales in comparison to what immigrants have been exposed to at the border.

“Families coming to the U.S. seeking refuge endure much worse circumstances than we did marching,” Dorner, staff representative for the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees Council 31. “It was worth coming out despite heat because we needed to demonstrate that we stand with them and their right to be treated without cruelty.”

That cruelty, opponents say, sees no party lines. It’s simply cruel to disregard the health and well-being of children, even the ones being used by undocumented parents to remain in the country or enter the United States without going through

the proper process.

“This was an easy issue for many to stand behind because it is not about Republicans or Democrats,” Dorner added. “Rockford is a compassionate and loving community where we make efforts to support children.”

Rockford’s event was one of several held across the country last weekend. Each followed the June 30 “Families Belong Together” march in Washington. What will follow will likely take shape as series of military operations as thousands of people will be deported, flown from Air Force bases back to their respective countries.

Meanwhile, reuniting what some claim to be thousands of children could become significant problems even though a judge has ordered the White House to expedite the process.

To the president’s credit, there is no end date on the executive order he signed to end family separation. But, some officials still claim the order violates the settlement in the Supreme Court case Reno v. Flores that ended with the 1997 decision that the former Immigration and Naturalization

Service (INS) did not violate due process when it detained 15-year-old Jenny Lisette Flores at the Mexican border without an adult in 1985.

Regardless, organizers like Dorner say they’ve heard enough first-hand accounts of what the separation policy actually looks like and that the president should have been the first one to stand against it.

“I talked to one immigrant woman who shared her story,” she said. “She told me they strapped her toddler into a car seat of a vehicle promising she was coming with, and they pulled off without her. She has not seen her child since.”

Just how many children were separated at the border is not currently known. Initial reports claimed the number was in the hundreds. It was then learned that about 2,300 children were taken from their families in six-week period in April and May. Trump’s order keeps his zero-tolerance policy in place and those entering the country illegally will be criminally prosecuted.

Families will be kept together while in custody and housed by the Department of Defense. R.

Mayor Tom McNamara addresses the crowd at last Saturday’s Rockford Children’s March outside City Hall. The event was organized by AFSCME Staff Representative Sara Dorner and drew nearly 1,000 participants.

State Bicentennial

Grant’s first march to war was from Springfield to Quincy

By Greg Olson

Of the Jacksonville Journal-Courier

Col. Ulysses S. Grant passed up a chance to have his soldiers ride in train cars. Instead, he thought it best that they march to war.

So, on July 3, 1861, Grant mounted a horse and led his first Civil War command out of Camp Yates in Springfield, en route to Quincy. The 39-year-old Grant had molded his somewhat unruly troops — members of the 21st Illinois Volunteer Infantry Regiment — into a disciplined fighting force.

“There was direct railroad communication between Springfield and Quincy, but I thought it would be good preparation for the troops to march,” Grant wrote in his “Memoirs.”

The approximately 1,000 men of the 21st Illinois marched about 8 miles the first day before setting up camp just west of present-day Riddle Hill near what is known today as the Old Jacksonville Road in Sangamon County.

On the Fourth of July, Grant led his men to Island Grove in western Sangamon County, where they stopped for a while at the home of Capt. James N. Brown, a wealthy farmer and Shorthorn cattle raiser.

“My father, Capt. Brown, sent (my brother), William Brown, out to meet Col. Grant and tell him the people wished him to stop and the troops could rest and enjoy the day with them,” wrote Benjamin Warfield Brown in 1927. “The exercises soon began and Col. Grant and a great many of the soldiers listened very intently to the exercises. Hon. David A. Brown read the Declaration of Independence and the Rev. Peter Cartwright delivered the main address.”

The march on the Fourth covered about 17 miles and ended on the Corrington farm, 9 miles east of Jacksonville.

Years later, William Corrington recalled the soldiers’ encampment on his father’s farm.

“I well remember that 4th of July as I watched Grant and his regiment go in camp just across the road from my father’s home … on the head of the Mauvaisterre (Creek),” Corrington wrote.

“Another reason that I remember it so distinctly was I had my pockets full of firecrackers; had been celebrating the 4th, when by some means, the crackers got on fire, and before I could get them out, they had burned a hole in my new cotton trousers; and as I was standing in front of Grant’s tent that evening, he said,

Col. U.S. Grant marker at the Morgan County Fairgrounds in Jacksonville.

Photos courtesy of the Jacksonville Journal-Courier ‘Son, what’s the matter with your pants?’

My answer was: ‘I had firecrackers in my pocket, and they got on fire,’ He laughed and said: ‘I bet you are a Union man,’ and I said, ‘Yes, sir.’ I was all through the camp, and the soldiers gave me several little keepsakes I prized very highly. They were a tired, footsore lot.”

On July 5, the 21st Illinois broke camp and headed west to Jacksonville.

The regiment passed through Jacksonville on State Street late on the morning of July 5. As the soldiers passed the Joshua Moore family home on West State Street, 15-year-old Ensley Moore asked what regiment it was.

“The reply was ‘the 21st Illinois.’ And to the question who is your colonel, the reply was ‘Grant.’ Grant! I had never heard of him, and probably no other citizen of Jacksonville had,” Moore said years later. “But there he was, riding along up the street, his horse moving at a slow walk, an officer on each side of the colonel.”

The 21st Illinois made its way to the Morgan County Fairgrounds just west of Jacksonville and rested. During the Civil War, the fairgrounds was called Camp Duncan and was used for drilling soldiers.

In 1910, A.Y. Hart of Mattoon, who served in the 21st Illinois, remem-

bered the regiment’s brief stay at the fairgrounds.

“Col. Grant stationed himself at the gate at the fairgrounds and examined our canteens for whiskey,” Hart said. “One man of my company bought a coffee boiler, stopped the passage between the boiler and spout with wax, filled the boiler with whiskey and the spout with milk, and Col. Grant passed him in.”

After resting at the fairgrounds, the 21st Illinois marched southwest to Allinson’s Grove, about 7 miles from Jacksonville. The soldiers camped there the night of July 5.

The next day, Grant and his command covered about 15 miles, marching from Allinson’s Grove, through Exeter in Scott County and camping that night on the northern edge of Naples, near the east bank of the Illinois River.

On July 8, the regiment was ferried across the river and then marched west on the Perry and Naples Road. Grant later received orders to return to the west bank of the Illinois River and wait for a steamboat that would carry them to St. Louis.

From there the regiment was to board a train for Ironton, Mo. Grant and the regiment waited for the steamboat, but it never arrived because it got hung up on a sandbar downstream. On July 10, the 21st Illinois crossed the Illinois River and caught a train for Quincy. Grant’s men then went to Missouri to reinforce Union troops who were under attack from secessionist guerrillas.

Grant left the 21st Illinois in August 1861, when he was promoted to brigadier general. He would later lead all Union forces in the war.

Members of the 21st regiment, most of whom were from eastern Illinois, later participated in the battles of Murfreesboro, Tenn., and Chickamauga, Ga., where they suffered many casualties.

Mr. Green Car

The VW Beetle

By Allen Penticoff Columnist

There is nothing in the automotive world as iconic as the Volkswagen Beetle. It seems to have been around forever and is found everywhere.

Literally, it has been the most-produced vehicle platform ever - a record it will likely hold for some time. Volkswagen recently announced it would no longer produce a “Beetle” once the currently produced “New Beetle” version is discontinued, perhaps as early as this year. Some sceptics think the Beetle may reappear, as it has in the past, when a demand for the iconic “Bug” is heard loud and clear. Current plans by Volkswagen are to replace the Beetle with an all-electric “microbus” presently called the “I.D. Buzz” in 2022 (Mr. Green Car will buy one).

Starting in pre-World War Two Nazi Germany, Adolf Hitler and the Nazis desired German citizens to catch up with the rest of the modern world in per capita auto ownership. The name “Volkswagen” which translates as “people’s car,” was envisioned to be an affordable every-persons’ car - not unlike the American Model T Ford.

Similarly, the “strength through joy car” as it was first known, was a very simple and inexpensive vehicle to own and operate. However, it was not put immediately into full production after the first appeared in 1938 due to Germany needing the materials for their war effort. But it was put into production following the war, in 1945, by the occupying British near Wolfsburg, Germany as something German workers could do for gainful employment. There were many other small cars on the market that it competed against in a Europe where much was undergoing restoration, economies teetering and fuel was quite expensive, but the Beetle slowly won over the people’s hearts and

minds.

Those with a steady income soon were buying the simple Beetle. Over time the five-passenger design stayed much the same with the only real changes being modest increases in engine horsepower; 25 hp in 1938, then 36 and finally 40 hp through 1966. But the Beetle proved to be very rugged and soon they were being sold around the world in places where roads were often primitive. The little air-cooled engines tolerated a lot of abuse and the most inexperienced mechanics could maintain them.

I have had plenty of experience with Beetles and its derivatives like the Transporter (VW microbus). At one time I worked in a foreign car garage that did a lot of Volkswagen work. The engine could be removed in about 15 minutes. One could do that by lowering the engine from an otherwise raised car. But the Bug owners were often quite “cheap” – bringing their Beetle in for a tune up, when the car had no brakes to speak of and a huge hole in the floorboard. I often felt like Fred Flintstone driving one (you kids will have to Google Fred). Beetles had poor heating systems, that if not maintained well, could easily have exhaust leaks that entered the cabin. Electrically heated socks were favored by many VW owners.

I called my 1970 VW camper “solar heated” – for that was the only time it was warm – when the sun was shining.

The systems were very simple and fixing them or cobbling up something to work was fairly easy. Many hobbyists have built entirely different vehicles using VW chassis and running gear.

But Volkswagen really made its biggest change when the “Super Beetle” arrived in 1971. The suspension changed, much improving the handling qualities. Much better brakes and a little more cabin room. You can tell a Super Beetle by its curved windshield – all previous

Beetles had flat windshields. Heat was really no better in a Super Beetle but the handling was so much better you could call it sporty. All Beetles have had light steering effort due to their rear mounted engine (moved to the front for the “New Beetle” in 1997) This light weight on the front wheels and more weight on the rear wheels made them good in snow, mud and sand but if pushed too hard in a corner they had oversteer which can lead to loss of control and a roll off the road. I personally have little experience in driving older Beetles, but lots of experience driving the Bus/Camper version. I still own a 1987 VW Vanagon Westfalia camper. While “modern” with a water-cooled engine (solving the heat problem!), power steering and disc brakes - it is still very Beetley.

While Volkwagen may be ending production of the New Beetle (the classic air-cooled Beetles were built in Mexico up until July 2003 and are still popular taxis in that country) I expect Beetles will still be on our roads for a long long time to come. One, because they just hold up to being used. Two, there is a very large population of “Volkswagen Nuts.” Folks who absolutely love all things Volkswagen, particularly the Beetle. Some restored vintage Beetles are fetching upwards of $78,000 now.

What is it about this car that engenders such love. Well, Herbie The Love Bug has a little to do with it. An adorable movie series about a car with great heart and ambition. But mostly, it is the sound and feel of driving a Beetle. The way they purr when they run. The cute little bleep of the horn (watch Little Miss Sunshine to hear that). The smiling face of the Beetle on our streets full of aggressively styled cars and trucks.

To drive a Beetle just puts a smile on your face. It puts a smile on the face of people watching you go by. It’s the banjo of cars - you can’t play a sad song on the

banjo.

If you own one now, you will always be inundated by people stopping to talk with you about it. Like dogs, everybody has had one or has a story to tell about one. I get this with my Vanagon camper too. People just love them, even if they don’t own one.

Environmentally, the VW Beetle was never really much to tout as being “green.” While they certainly had great fuel economy compared to other contemporary vehicles in the 50s and 60s; by the 1970s the arrival of very efficient Japanese and other European cars to deal with the oil embargos raising gas prices made the VW’s 25-30 mpg look a bit thirsty. My Vanagon, with an automatic transmission, gets a SUV-like 17 mpg (most manual shift buses get in the low 20s mpg). It takes a lot of energy to push a box through the air. Its small engine only makes it slow – not efficient. But hey, we are NEVER in a rush when driving the camper. Please pass us, we are pedaling as fast as we can.

I won’t be going into a long dissertation on the complete history of Volkswagen and the Beetle, but if you are inclined to know this, I can recommend you read an excellent book: The People’s Car – A Global History of the Volkswagen Beetle by Bernhard Rieger.

I don’t consider myself a Volkswagen nut, despite having owned three campers and a Rabbit diesel. But I do enjoy driving them. There is something just so charming about them that it makes driving a pleasure. If you are looking to get into the old car world by tooling around in a thrifty classic car – you could not go too far wrong in driving an old Beetle. Parts are still plentiful for these cars. They are easy to work on.

There are several books on do-it-yourself maintenance that were arguably the impetus for the “For Dummies” books.

So long Beetle. Long may you live. R.

CONTRIBUTOR

Most people think, “standup comedian” when then hear the name Bobcat Goldthwait, but some folks also think “actor.” Super comedy geeks probably know he’s a writer, producer, and director, too. You might not realize it, but Goldthwait directed multiple episodes of The Man Show, Chappelle’s Show, Maron, and more than 200 episodes of Jimmy Kimmel Live!

Considering Goldthwait is a comedy legend, it’s understandable that the majority of his projects have been comedies. Until now.

Goldthwait is the creator, producer, and writer of truTV’s new scripted anthology series, Bobcat Goldthwait’s Misfits & Monsters, which debuts Wednesday, July 11 at 9:00pm CT. Fans of truTV’s Impractical Jokers have probably seen a few sneak peaks of Misfits & Monsters during Sunday marathons of Impractical Jokers. The network did that to whet viewers’ appetites for the new show.

While the two series are extremely di�erent, the network thinks the Jokers’ audience will also enjoy Misfits & Monsters.

Key art for the series is a semi-literal depiction of the phrase “from the mind of Bobcat Goldthwait”—with images from episodes appearing to emerge from the

recesses of his head. Appropriately enough, the tag line is, “Abnormal is the New Normal.”

Try thinking of the new show as a slightly more twisted take on The Twilight Zone, blending horror, comedy, sci-fi and other genres into an eclectic mix of funny, yet suspenseful, stand-alone stories.

As you’d expect from Goldthwait, his semi-nostalgic take on the anthology series format includes quite a bit of modern satire.

The eight-episode first season also boasts a broad range of comedic talent, from Michael Ian Black (The State, Another Period) and Dave Foley (The Kids in the Hall, NewsRadio) to Danny Pudi (Community), Melissa Joan Hart (Sabrina, the Teenage Witch), and Seth Green (Robot Chicken, Family Guy).

The network’s hopes are high for Misfits & Monsters, high enough that created a custom Bobcat Goldthwait emoji that will automatically show up when Twitter users include #MisfitsAndMonsters—the show’s o�cial hashtag—in tweets.

If you want to watch something fun and unique this summer, give Bobcat Goldthwait’s Misfits & Monsters a try. And remember, since it’s an anthology series, if you don’t like one episode you might love the next. R.

Event Floral: A One Stop Shop!

BY JACKIE LINDQUIST ROCKFORD AREA CVB

From the moment I walked into Event Floral, I felt like I was in a perfect Pinterest wedding. There were beautiful displays to gaze at as guests entered the shop in every inch of the room. It was the attention to detail that really caught my eye. Each item was carefully placed, and the décor was creatively displayed so each piece contributed to the overall delicate ambiance of the room.

I was quickly greeted by the owner of Event Floral, Erin Sto�regen. Erin gave me a tour of their brand-new building as she talked about the business she took over four years ago. As a high school student, Erin began working at Event Floral while founder Debra Quillen was the owner. Before opening her own shop, Debra worked at her father’s floral shop, Broadway Florist. Wedding floral designs became Debra’s passion. To pursue that passion, Debra branched out to open Event Floral as an innovative, one stop shop for all event floral and décor needs. With continued growth, Debra’s vision is truly a reality. Not only does Event Floral design exquisite flower arrangements, they also provide clients with artistic décor, specialty linens, creativity, and exceptional service!

Erin and her coworkers were busy putting together flower arrangements for

Unique linens at Event Floral

Flowers at Event Floral two weddings that weekend. The colors of pale pink, white, and green were spread about the room leading up to the walk in “cooler,” but it was unlike any cooler I had ever seen! Flowers of all shapes, sizes, and colors filled the cool space from top to bottom. The smell of fresh cut flowers filled the air and stretched out into the store room. Further inspection of the facility took us through a large back room completely full of linens galore! Erin said while they were moving locations, they counted more than 3,000 unique linens!

While summer and fall are the busy wedding seasons, Event Floral is busy all

year long. Fun corporate events, balls, and galas heat up in the winter months from January through April. Event Floral also opens their doors for public classes during the holiday season where people can come in and arrange their very own Thanksgiving centerpiece or holiday wreath!

Why choose Event Floral for your next event? Erin says their work speaks for itself! The floral arrangements are incomparable, their creativity is unmatched, and their attention to detail is one of their top priorities! Event Floral has created a single destination for all your event décor needs.

Their new location is designed to create a memorable experience from the initial process through the finished product.

Erin was so helpful and while my inner Pinterest wedding planner thinks I would be able to create beautiful designs and displays, it is best to leave it to the professionals! I know I will be heading to Erin and her team next time I am looking to plan an event!

Event Floral is located at 7302 Rock Valley Parkway in Loves Park, IL. To find other helpful tips when planning your wedding, visit gorockford.com/groups/ get-married-in-rockford.

Diseases in the squash family

BY GRANT MCCARTY CONTRIBUTOR

In continuing last week’s discussion on the squash family, two major diseases commonly cause havoc in the garden.

Last summer in the Rockford area, Powdery and Downy Mildew showed up towards the middle of August. This year could be di�erent. Both of these mildews are destructive diseases on the green leaves of the vines and if not properly managed, can result in death of the plant. While both mildews have similar damage, there are clear di�erences between them.

Downy mildew is caused by a water mold while powdery mildew is caused by a fungus. Downy mildew shows up on the underside of the leaves. As this mildew progresses, yellow spots appear on the leaves. The texture of these spots may feel fuzzy. Powdery mildew is a white/gray coating on the top of the leaf or the other parts of the plant.

Both of these mildews require humid conditions. Air temperature plays a large role in the spread and development of the mildews. Downy mildew thrives in cooler temperatures near 65 F compared to powdery mildew needing 80 F. Since we’ve had hotter, wetter weather in June, it’s possible that we may be seeing powdery mildew soon. It can be common

to have both of these mildews in a growing season.

Preventing downy and powdery mildew begins at planting. If you have proper spacing between plants, this allows for good air flow that can keep the mildews from spreading. This allows plants to dry out after rains and keep them from having wet foliage for prolonged periods. There are some varieties that are disease resistant to these mildews. If you spot powdery mildew in your field, sometimes you can remove the foliage and still have a productive plant. If the plant has succumbed to the disease, you want to remove it from the field as it is a breeding ground for the disease. With these cucurbits, it is important to be mindful of working in the fields when it is too wet as you could be spreading disease from plant to plant. Chemical control is always an option.

Keep an eye on the air temperatures and symptoms on the top and bottom of the leaf. As always, remain vigilant when it comes to managing these mildews. R.

Installing solar systems on rooftops is one way to provide electricity for local use while keeping electrical revenues in the community and providing a measure of local energy security.

A number of large rooftop solar installations exist in northern Illinois.

They are likely to become increasingly common. One is an installation on the roof of a new building owned by the Wahl Clipper company in Sterling and another covers the roof of the Advanced Machine Engineering Company building in Rockford.

Bob, the building owner and an installer recently walked on the roof of a three story building in Rockford which already has skylights and a solar hot water system.

Consideration was given to how a 10kW PV system could be installed. Also under consideration is the installation of a solar powered battery charging unit on the roof of the garage serving the building.

Placing solar systems on existing rooftops including warehouses, schools, stores, distribution centers, public buildings and residences is a boon to a local economy. It accelerates as the public comes to realize the economic, health and environmental benefits of such systems.

The size of a solar system for the roof and its energy production will depend on a number of factors. The size of the roof, its orientation to the sun, the pitch of the roof and whether its covered with asphalt, metal, wood or a rubberized membrane are factors which influence whether or not the roof is a suitable candidate for a solar system. Shading from trees or adjacent buildings as well as any existing struc-

tures already on the roof will impact the placement of solar panels.

Considering multiple variables involved it is important to have a site assessment performed by a professional installer to determine whether the building is suitable for a solar system. During that assessment, the condition of the roof should be determined; if it needs to be replaced it is best to do before installing the system.

Another important factor is to determine the amount of electricity the home is already consuming and consider making energy e�ciency improvements before having a system installed in order to cut down on the size of one needed to service the building.

The site assessment can provide the basis for determining the size of the system to fit the owner’s needs and an estimate of how much electricity the system is expected to produce.

It takes time to do a site assessment; the homeowner should expect to pay for the service. Some installers charge a modest fee for a site assessment; if they get a contract to install the system, the fee is often waived or discounted from the overall cost of the system.

Local codes impacting the design and installation of rooftop solar systems should be addressed before one is installed.

A good site assessment should address those considerations. ((See the Interstate Renewable Energy Council for an update and expanded solar plan review and inspection checklist for more information.)

Based on costs alone, a rooftop solar system is a very good investment. But there are other values to consider, foremost among which are climate change and environmental considerations. R.

Ongoing through Sunday, July 8 Of Mice & Men - Two drifters, George and his friend Lennie, have just arrived at a ranch to work for enough money to buy their own place.

Lennie is a little boy in the body of a dangerously powerful man. It’s Lennie’s obsessions with things soft and cuddly that have made George cautious about with whom the gentle giant associates. 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.

Horoscope Week of July 1 to 7, 2018

Save more when you bundle Get X1 and fast speeds to stream your favorite shows

It’d be a good idea to avoid coffee this week. You’ll feel particularly anxious. Various situations will be outside of your control, so you’ll need to learn to let go. At work, you’ll have to manage most of the week’s emergencies.

GEMINI

Taking on those new responsibilities at work will pay off. It won’t be easy at first, but your determination and resolve will lead you to new heights. You’ll lay the foundation for a promising future.

CANCER

You should reconnect with your spiritual side and experience something out of the ordinary. Certain feelings will put you on a path that’s better aligned with your personal values.

LEO

If you’re struggling with your emotional state, it may be time to seek professional help. Change in any form will benefit you this week.

VIRGO

The foundation of your relationship may be getting fragile. You’re a sensitive person, and your partner will need to start treating you accordingly to restore peace and harmony.

You’ll witness a situation that will leave you perplexed. Someone will tell you a secret that you won’t feel comfortable keeping. You need an outlet to vent.

TAURUS

Not available in all areas, varies by location.

ARIES

Physical health is often intimately linked to one’s mental state. If you’re dealing with a chronic health condition, perhaps the solution lies in your emotions, or perhaps even in the distant past.

SCORPIO

Developing your self-confidence will put you on the path to success.

You’ll learn to stroke your own ego, which will help you stand out and display your charisma. Your peers will admire you.

SAGITTARIUS

If you’re in the middle of a big move, you’ll need your partner’s presence and affection to calm your spirit during this time of great change. A clean, uncluttered living environment will help you unwind.

CAPRICORN

You won’t mince your words when it comes time to express your disagreement. You won’t hesitate to draw attention to any form of injustice. You may also be asked to speak in front of a large crowd. Art is an excellent tool for self-expression.

AQUARIUS

Precarious financial situations breed anxiety. Try to see things from a different perspective. You’ll soon realize that it’s only a temporary situation, and you’ll find yourself smiling again before you know it.

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.

ROCKFORD - A local karate club has become a Rockford staple over the past 58 years.

Specializing in Shotok an k arate, Rockford Karate Club dates back to 1960 and today is the oldest and longest-running karate clubs in the city. In addition to being the most affordable, the club, run by Shihan John Allen, a eight-degree black belt, has trained more that 10,000 students. More than 8,000 law enforcement officers have also turned to the club for self-defense instruction.

Allen is not an ordinary teacher either. He was trained by Sensei Hidetaka Nishiyama and Sensei Shojiro Sugiyama. Nishiyama is one of the first practitioners to bring Shotokan to the United States in 1959. As a direct result, Rockford Karate Club quickly became a school that produced competitive title winners, including two Great Lakes Regional champions. The school has also expanded, producing other dojos and a sister club, the Janesville Karate Club run

by Bruce Sims.

Allen has taught karate on the high school and collegiate levels and at community centers and the Rockford Boys Club.

Nurses at Rockford Memorial Hospital and Kishwaukee Community Hospital have also taken classes from Allen over his 54-year career.

Bears 2018 training camp preview: Bullard or Robertson-Harris must emerge

By Robert Zeglinski Contributor

Since 2016, the Bears’ defense has had the fortune of steady dominance from Akiem Hicks. Hicks, 28, has become one of the best free agent signings in franchise history due to relentless pass pressure up front. If he’s not pressuring the quarterback himself, Hicks has the ability to draw attention for others like Leonard Floyd to thrive. Overall, the stellar defensive end has a bull rush and power game in all facets not many offensive linemen are capable of slowing down. From being overlooked, to superstar, to last fall’s contract extension and morphing into the current face of the Bears’ defense: Hicks has come a long way.

The problem, as it always is in team building, is that the Bears have nothing reliable opposite Hicks just yet. For a defense that ranked 9th in scoring and 10th in yardage in 2017, they need more “oomph” from certain positions to take the next step towards a winning unit. One of those areas is the starting defensive end not named Hicks.

Training camp being a little over two weeks away means the Bears have time to sort this dilemma out. Over the past few seasons, veteran fill-in Mitch Unrein has held down this role. But for as solid of a teammate and player Unrein is, he’ll never be confused for anything more than a role player. Hence mainly why the Bears allowed him depart to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in this year’s free agency.

No, this defensive end competition will instead take place between two hungry players who have been waiting for this chance. That’s referring to Jonathan Bullard and Roy Robertson-Harris, of course.

These are two Bears dripping with potential that haven’t been able to fully showcase their abilities in anything less than spot play to this point.

Part of that was due to Unrein’s presence, who had more than earned his

playing time. A solid player that defensive coordinator Vic Fangio and former head coach John Fox knew they could trust. One of the premier run-defending defensive linemen in the NFL. And part of that was due to both Bullard and Robertson-Harris simply not showing enough to be previously trusted with more responsibility. Unrein’s departure and no other clear answer to fill a sizable void means these two Bears are now featured in the headlined positional battle of this year’s hysteria in Bourbonnais.

Each, while gifted in their own right, has had an entirely different career trajectory. Roberson-Harris and Bullard come from two different backgrounds and two different schools of thought as likely major Bears contributors.

Let’s examine the tale of the tape in this heavyweight Chicago battle.

Can Bullard finally live up to expectations?

The question with Bullard has never been natural ability. Many called the 2016 third round selection a first round talent because of his power, hand usage, and technique off the ball. The former Florida Gator jumped off the page any time you examined him in college. When the Bears drafted him, it was believed he was one of the steals of the draft for that reason.

Two years into his career and that lofty bar has nowhere near been cleared for Bullard. A player who had 18 tackles for loss and 6.5 sacks in his senior college season, has 33 total tackles and two sacks in four career starts from 2016 to 2017.

Original concerns coming out raised by NFL Network lead draft analyst Lance Zierlein stating that Bullard “doesn’t play with much quick-twitch movement” and that he’s easily “turned out of gaps by double teams” have mostly come to fruition.

A 3-4 defensive end that can’t play two gaps and who has limited quickness to his game is going to be eventually

lost in the shuffle. Bullard is the perfect example. These struggles for the 6-f00t, 295 pounder were fine for him as a rookie considering he was learning the ropes. To make no tangible impact and not seize a starting position as an NFL sophomore raises red flags.

Fangio said last spring that he believed Bullard was “better prepared” for the rigors of the NFL and that sentiment didn’t come true. Occasional flashes of one gap brilliance aren’t enough to entrench yourself. Going into his third prove-it year in an open competition, the bright defensive end has no more excuses to not consistently excel.

Does Robertson-Harris have enough experience?

As a 2016 undrafted free agent out of UTEP, Robertson-Harris wasn’t always planned to be 3-4 defensive end in the Bears’ scheme. The freakishly sized 6-foot-7, 295 pounder was originally going to play outside linebacker for Chicago after weighing in at 255 pounds.

A heat-related illness suffered late in the summer of 2016 changed his developmental track forever. His rookie year instead became a redshirt season where Robertson-Harris focused on bulking up to his current massive frame.

The Bears needed defensive line depth and talent, and they were counting on Robertson-Harris making a mostly smooth transition.

The thing about changing positions so dramatically in the NFL though is that learning the intricacies take time.

Sometimes you need more than one off-season to be completely comfortable with your duties. No speed training, weight lifting, and film study combined can simulate the firsthand experience of game action against a live opponent.

After initial high hopes and flashes for Robertson-Harris at the start of the 2017 season, this became reality. Factor in concussion and hamstring issues out

of his control, and he never received the full-on chance to prove himself to the Bears last year.

Over a half year later, Robertson-Harris is a half year wiser. He knows what the Bears’ defensive coaches expect of him and he can play and react, instead of think and leave himself vulnerable. He can maximize his basketball player size and athletic prowess to it’s fullest. The experience means the world, as defensive line coach Jay Rodgers told the Chicago Sun-Times.

“He got a full season of what it’s like,” Rodgers said in June of Robertson-Harris.

“Now he’s got an expectation that’s a little bit different, almost a higher expectation for himself, because he understands it.”

A little less polished at the position than his counterpart in Bullard, most still understand the sky is the limit for Robertson-Harris. Mainly, because they don’t know what to expect. Though, you don’t attain seven tackles, two sacks, and one pass defended in extremely limited time because of injuries and adjustment struggles without knowing you belong.

All things considered, Robertson-Harris can seize the day with the Bears. It’s about following through.

All bets are off

Bullard and Robertson-Harris play on the same side of the ball obviously, so they won’t directly butt heads with one another in camp. However, you’d be remiss to think that they won’t be monitoring the other’s progress this summer, nipping at the heels. That they won’t be constantly pushing each other to improve. A starting job is on the line with the Bears, after all.

All bets are off.

Whoever wins becomes the needed difference-making partner for Hicks.

Whoever wins becomes an incremental piece of a budding first-rate Bears’ defense. R. Robert is your guy for all things Bears. Follow him on Twitter @RobertZeglinski.
