Year 1 of the Rauner administration NEWS Page 4

After more than half a year of indecision, a final vote on the proposed New Towne housing development is set to take place in city council February 1. The development, which is proposed to be in the city’s 14th ward, has been the subject of debate among citizens and city council for months. Time and time again, council has laid the vote over after a closed session meeting, to the chagrin of many. Third Ward Alderman Thomas McNamara is one council member who did not want the vote to be laid over until February 1. “If we look back, the city’s legal department has met all of the legal requirements city council set forth in 2008 for townhome plats,” McNamara said. “We need to open communications with Gorman and the city to move forward to phase two and phase three.” Others on council disagree. Fifth Ward Alderman Venita Hervey wanted to have the vote laid over until the first council meeting in February. “I wanted more information,” Hervey said. “It has all been happening really quickly.” Hervey would like to have more information about details like drainage and other services before voting on the issue. Kimberly Bruce, Strategic Communications Manager for the City of Rockford, said the city received a letter from the HUD Office of Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity in November saying a compliance review would be conducted, but that it is important to note the city is not bringing in a federal investigation. Developers Gorman and Co. filed a lawsuit against the city Tuesday over what it calls illegal delays in the plat approval process.

IDing dome failure work in progress

Last week, school district 207 began to assess damage to the Hononegah High School dome, which deflated almost two weeks ago during an ice storm. The District’s insurance adjustor, along with forensic engineers and architects, are in the process of determining what caused the dome to collapse. After reviewing the footage, superintendent Lynn Gibson said investigators were able to determine the dome deflated over a period of four hours. “It is important to know that the dome has always been a safe place for our students to spend time, and staff and students would have had ample time to evacuate,” said Gibson. Students returned, as scheduled, to the school on January 4. Gibson said many local schools and organizations who have utilized the dome in the past have been generous with volunteering their facilities for Hononegah student use. A timeline for the final review of the collapse is still unknown.

State

I didn’t declare impasse Gov. Rauner discusses his battle with the state’s unions, and his first year in office

By Mark Fitton Illinois News Network

SPRINGFIELD — Gov. Bruce Rauner on Monday said his negotiators haven’t declared an impasse in contract talks with the state’s largest public-employee union, but they’re thinking about it. The governor’s remarks came during an interview with Illinois News Network’s Greg Bishop, during which Rauner reflected on his first year in office. The American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees Council 31 on Friday said the Rauner team had unilaterally declared an impasse and blasted the administration for walking out on talks. While the sides have traded allegations over who was at fault for the two sides leaving Friday without further talks scheduled, Rauner on Monday said his people did halt talks. After 67 negotiating sessions, Rauner said, “what happened on Friday our team asked them … Well, gosh, you’ve rejected everything we’ve ever proposed (and) you’ve offered no new ideas ever — are we at impasse?” “Our guys didn’t say we were or weren’t (at impasse),” the governor said. “We didn’t take any position. We asked the question, which I believe is a reasonable question.” The state and AFSCME, which represents some 35,000 state employees, have been in

talks for a year and without a contract for about six months. Agreements signed by the two sides dictate that if either side says an impasse has been reached, the question will go to the Illinois Labor Relations Board for a ruling. A finding of impasse could raise possibilities including an attempt by the state to impose new contract terms or, perhaps, lead to a strike. Rauner said his staff is still studying the situation, and he wasn’t ready to announce a decision Monday. “Right now, I don’t want to say what our negotiating team is going to recommend in terms of the next step of process,” the Winnetka Republican said. “I don’t know.” Rauner says he has honored his promise to not lock out state employees but added, “at some point our team has got to decide: Are we completely just spinning our wheels or are we actually going to get anything done?” Although the state and AFSCME Council 31 still appear far apart on wages, insurance benefits, work rules and other items, the union has said it does not believe talks have reached impasse.

Not naturally patient

Rauner also briefly discussed his own self-inventory as a first-term governor who’s never held elected office before. “Obviously, I’m learning as I go,” said Rauner,

58, who was a successful venture capitalist before entering the 2014 governor’s race and defeating incumbent Gov. Pat Quinn, D-Chicago. “Sometimes I’m too blunt, too direct, I would say. I call it as I see it, and sometimes that can alienate somebody or a group,” he said. “Sometimes I’m impatient; sometimes I’ve just got to be more patient. I’m not that way by nature. “I am persistent, and that ain’t going to change, but ... I’ve got to learn a little more patience.”

His agenda, the budget

That said, Rauner is still firmly behind at least five points of his “Turnaround Agenda,” which he says represents structural reform to Illinois’ political and business climates necessary if Illinois is to improve its bleak financial condition and halt an out-migration of jobs and people. Those points include local property tax freezes coupled with “local options” for units of government to cut costs by opting out of prevailing wage laws and contracting rules, as well some items that now must be collectively bargained. They also include term limits for elected state officials; more independent legislative redistricting; lawsuit reform and changes to the state’s workers compensation system — the latter two of which the governor says are necessary if Illinois is to stop bleeding jobs and grow again. Rauner’s insistence on his agenda items has put him at loggerheads with legislative Democrats, who hold supermajorities in both chambers of the General Assembly. He’s rejected their spending plan, which he said was $4 billion in the red, adding that although he’s willing to discuss some new revenue, he wouldn’t do so without some of the reform he wants. With Illinois now in Month No. 7 of fiscal year 2016 and still without a budget, Democrats contend Rauner’s holding hostage the budget, including funding for some human services.

Governor v. Speaker

And while Rauner says he’s willing to negotiate, his comments show him still at odds with Illinois Speaker of the House Michael Madigan, a Chicago Democrat who’s held that position for all but two years since 1983. “Clearly, the biggest disappointment is our failure, so far, to get Speaker Madigan or the legislators that support him to really negotiate in good faith with us to get structural reforms,” Rauner said Monday. While the governor insists the No. 1 problem is the economy, the speaker has stuck to his own message: The No. 1 problem facing the state is the deficit budget, and it will take a mix of cuts and

new revenues to resolve it. Madigan maintains the costs of Rauner’s desired changes in collective bargaining, lawsuit reform and workers compensation land too hard on the middle class and are “extreme,” and that Democrats — and even some Republicans — won’t go down that road. But GOP legislators so far have stood solidly beside Rauner, just as Democrats have aligned firmly with Madigan and Senate President John Cullerton, D-Chicago. Rep. Elaine Nekritz, D-Northbrook, said she thinks there are areas where Rauner and Democrats can come together, including on portions of the governor’s agenda. But she said Rauner has to take a realistic look at the makeup of the Legislature.. “The governor has overreached given the fact there are Democratic supermajorities in the House and Senate, so to go for the nuclear option just isn’t possible.”

Rough first year?

Although not happy about the stalemate in Springfield nor the lack of a contract with AFSCME, Rauner points to record funding for Illinois primary and secondary education as well as new contracts with 17 bargaining units representing some 5,000 workers as high points in his Year 1. And he says anyone who expects him to back away from what he considers essential reforms needs to think again. David Yepsen, director of the Paul Simon Public Policy Institute, discussed Rauner’s first year in office on Monday before Illinois News Network sat down with the governor. He suggested that while it might be fair to say, “Gov. Rauner’s had a rough year, Illinois’ has some rough problems.” Rauner may have spent too much time in campaign mode and not enough in governing mode, Yepsen said, but the governor’s also tried to address big problems that he didn’t create — and he still has at least three years to keep at it. “I give him credit for putting additional revenues on the table,” Yepsen added. “It’s not easy for a Republican to do that. Many in that party don’t like the idea of any additional taxes.” Yepsen also said he doesn’t necessarily believe either Rauner or Madigan is playing for nothing but supremacy in the November 2016 elections. If either one is, he added, it might be a mistake. “I don’t think either the Democrats or the Republicans are going to be able to hang this budget dilemma solely on the other,” he said.

‘Sometimes I’m too blunt, too direct, I would say. I call it as I see it, and sometimes that can alienate somebody or a group. Sometimes I’m impatient; sometimes I’ve just got to be more patient. I’m not that way by nature.’

Energy & Environment

Can we truly substitute energy for labor? By Drs. Robert and Sonia Vogl President and Vice President, Illinois Renewable Energy Association

hen we were growing up farmers milked by hand, poured the milk into metal cans and brought it to a plant for pasteurizing where it was transferred into bottles to be sold to customers. A milkman brought it to our homes via a truck which contained ice to keep it fresh. Our mothers, who were home, took the milk into the house and put it into the refrigerator to keep it fresh. Home delivery ceased and the milk was brought to nearby stores, placed in refrigerated cases and sold. Refrigeration replaced the ice and two forms of work were eliminated – home delivery and supplying ice. Eliminating jobs, increasing energy consumption and speeding up the delivery of milk improved the efficiency of the new distribution system. We spent a month in Germany a number of years ago and were surprised by the presence of an in-town dairy. Milk sold there came from cows kept in the lower level of the building. The cows

were milked by hand as some customers preferred. Feed was brought into town on a tractor-pulled wagon and the cows’ waste in turn was carried out to the nearby farm. The process was slow and labor intensive but the milk was fresh. Milk was also available from a store in the same town but it was placed on a shelf like any other liquid. Once opened it had to be kept in a refrigerator. The milk had been flash heated at high temperatures which allowed it to be stored without refrigeration. Once again energy accelerated the speed of processing and decreased the use of labor. A Wisconsin firm has recently developed a process to reduce the water content of milk reducing its volume and shipping cost. It can be stored without refrigeration saving electricity. Water will be added to the concentrated milk by a drink dispenser before its consumption. Again efficiency will be improved and energy will likely displace human labor. An interesting summary of the changes in the milk industry was developed by Nate Hagens, a former hedge fund manager: As efficiency in milking went up, more energy was used, higher wages were paid, and less time was spent with a cow. Milking by

hand took 30 minutes, used 0 kW, and cost $3 for the labor. Milking with a machine took 15 minutes, used 300 kW, and cost $5 for the labor. Milking with an improved machine took 3 minutes, used 700 kW, and cost $15 for the labor. The efficiency gains in industry are viewed as progress but our energy system remains based on fossil fuel consumption which has costly adverse impacts. Hagen reported a study indicating that the cost of electricity produced from coal would rise from 5¢/kWh to 38¢/kWh if its environmental impacts were included. He indicates that as many as 20 of the world’s largest industries would lose money if they had to incorporate their environmental costs. Hagens doubts governments will force the full costs of environmental damages on these industries and suggests individuals need to implement actions consistent with a less energy intensive lifestyle. Societal incentives for substituting energy for labor may need to be restructured given the adverse impacts energy consumption has on our society, the planet and ourselves.

Musical memories The Key of Triple B.

By Frank Schier

Editor & Publisher

ust thinking about writing an article about Bryan Bowers rings many so strings in my personal music memories, I have a hard time finding the right key to bring you to him. This cacophony has been playing on for more than 40 years with great friendship and admiration of his talent and character. As I put these mental notes together, I think they will read best served on the staff of chronological time, with a few flash forwards and flash backwards. I’d like you to hear a BBB key that continues a unique scale of musical history. I first met the phenomenon of the Triple B, Bryan Benson Bowers in Rockford’s now pass-

ing legendary folk club, which gained national and international fame, Charlotte’s Web. Sadly begun, but with great results, Charlotte’s Web was created in the honor of a beauty of talent in my sophomore class at Boylan Central Catholic High School, Charlotte Powers. And powers she had; she was a sparkling gentle being of amazing promise who was killed in an auto accident. Charlotte was on her way to play one of the leads in the school’s production of the musical, George M, when a drunk driver hit her car head on. With her brother Ken barely surviving the crash, Charlotte Powers’ eldest brother Steve dropped out of MIT to start an enterprise to keep alive his sister’s love of folk music. His efforts first began in 1971 as the Orpheus coffee house, which then grew to Charlotte’s Web through the patronage of

philanthropists Bill and Karen Howard. Steve went on to form Mountain Records, and the Howards, fondly known as Gus and Ruby Sky, with the able assistance of many like Jack Pine, grew the legacy the Powers produced. That legacy began with performers Biff Rose, Bob Gibson, U. Utah Phillips, Steve Goodman, Jim Kweskin, Spider John Koerner, Ron Crick, Ron Nigrini, the Rose Hip String Band, Dick Pinney, Frank Hall, Mark Henley, Megan McDonough, James Lee Stanley,Tom Dundee, and Susan and Richard Thomas, to mention too few. Then the venue’s drawing power really began to roar with performances by (again, this is only a few) Timothy Leary, Vassar Clemments, Norman Blake, Odetta, Stephan Grippelli, Gamble Rogers, Martin Bogan and the Armstrongs, Bill Monroe (the Father of Bluegrass), Leon Redbone, Dizzy Gillespie, Buddy Rich, Koko Taylor, Kenny G, Joan Jett, John Hartford, Paul Winter Consort, Rick Nielsen of Cheap Trick, Micheal Johnson and Bryan Bowers. When all the old/new bluegrass and folk music was breaking out in the ‘60s and early ‘70s, I was a troublesome high-schooler who followed the supposedly “rebellious” trends from greaser, to surfer, to long-haired hippie. Lost in the non-rules of unconscious conformity, I pompously decided my lifestyle could no longer coincide with my mother’s, Cecile Schier, so I decided her lifestyle would have to coincide with mine. Our first visits to Orpheus and Charlotte’s Web surprised me because she knew more of the traditional music than I did, and all of the performers liked her better than they liked me. Dang. In addition to effect of the innate ease of her company and intelligence, the affection of many of the road-burnt performers’ fast-food stomachs expanded because she stuffed them at our house with home-cooked dinners. She became known as “Ma” Schier at the Web. Ma always liked to sit “down front” as she called it, so she could focus a little better through her trifocals. “The front tables are the place to be, Francis,” she’d gleam through her turquoise, horned rimmed glasses. “You can really see them perform.” She also had a bad knee and walked with a cane, and “down front” was also more comfortable. So the first time we saw Bryan Bowers performing at the Web, she leaned over and said, “Francis, he is really good; the songs he knows!” And not too long into his first set, he asked, “Who is this little lady sitting down there grinning at me?” “Ma Schier,” she proudly and loudly replied. “And this is my son, ‘Francis!’” Everyone laughed. I was thinking of the entire sixthgrade class I had fought, losing a few, to be called “Frank.” Observing my discomfort with a big smile, Bowers replied, “I’ll visit with you at the set break.” He did that, and next thing I knew he was coming over for dinner the next day. My friends (we all had nicknames, I was “Francois”) Tim “The Gnome” Fane and Gary “Fox”

Day went pheasant hunting very early in the morning and brought some rabbit along. They and about six or so of “The Animals” as some called us and our junior associates, descended with Bryan to surround the living room table and Ma’s cooking. After dinner, Bryan gave the first of many “house concerts” I have had the pleasure of hearing. Soon after, Ma bought an autoharp and began to play, much to Bryan’s pleasure. I think Bryan has started more people on the autoharp than anyone can imagine. Ma and I started going to see him and other Web performers at Chicago’s Old Towne School of Music, Holstein’s, Wise Fools, Somebody Else’s Troubles, Evanston’s Amazingrace and various shows in Beloit and Madison. Some trips were made with Bryan’s friends Lou (great photographer and autoharper) and Annie Koch. After I left town, Ma saw more music than I ever did. I’d get phone calls, “Oh, Francis, Koko Taylor came over to dinner, and Micheal Johnson was here last week. I’m going to Amazingrace tonight.” Well into her late 60s, she was a regular Charlotte’s Web groupie. That was after Boylan and RVC, when I attended American University in Washington, D.C. One night I was listening to the local NPR station, WAMU. I was excited to hear Bryan was opening up for Emmylou Harris at Constitution Hall. He was friends with “Afternoon Delight” composers Starland Vocal Band, who lived in the area, and I got to go backstage and meet everyone. It was a big deal to haul all his harps out on stage. He used to play with about 10 different harps, each in a different key, and watching him tune before shows was a trip. He’d have a running “manic” monologue of stories and a running stream of visitors before and after the show. I have lunked many a trunk of harps, “merc” (CDs for sale), and various instruments up and down stairs from and to his vehicle. It’s part of the “Bowers Experience.” He loves to be on the road. When he first began driving around the country looking for gigs in his home-made RV, a 1966 Chevy panel truck known as “Old Yeller,” the nation’s capital really provided his entry into a professional life in music. He played at The Cellar Door as an unknown; and unknown to him, Sam Bush, Curtis Burch and Courtney Johnson of the New Grass Revival were in the audience. The Dillards were also in the audience, and they took him to a bluegrass festival in Berryville, Virginia. They brought him out for their encore, and his career took off. I left D.C. in 1977 because of an incompatibility with academic writing and international politics, beginning a hitch-hiking sojourn that rolled me into a job at the Hilton Harvest House in Boulder, Colorado. Perusing the local press one day, I saw Richie Havens and Bryan Bowers were playing at the Blue Note. I couldn’t believe it. What a show that was, listening to Bryan kick the show off and sitting a few feet from Havens as his big thumb open-corded out the song “Freedom” from his Woodstock Festival fame. He was a string buster.

The Rock River Times | January 13-19, 2016 |

‘He plays the autoharp and when he picks up the instrument, the entire room changes…a very magical world, a music never heard before.’

–The Chicago Sun-Times

Bryan was his usual big friendly (he is sixfoot-four), and asked what I was doing. I said nothing much, just traveling for a while. He said I should come and see him at the Telluride Bluegrass Festival in the summer. I hitchhiked down there through our family’s Loveland Pass (Ma’s maiden name was Loveland) and found a job in a bar called the Moon Gypsy. The festival started, and Bryan introduced me to the world’s best mandolin player, Sam Bush, and his buddy Long John Picker, who is no slouch as a mandolin man either. Bryan said I was looking for a place to stay, and Picker let me stay in his cabin up in the mountains above Telluride. That was one of the best times of my life. This was typical of the “Bowers’ Connection Mode” for his friends. He does this for people all the time to this day. Bryan then asked if I’d like to come and work on his place in Seattle; and when the summer was over, I hitched up there. Many stories could be told of the three-story, “Bowers Towers” that was built as a lumber baron’s mansion on the Madrona Ridge. The people who lived there when I did or passed through really were a joy, Charlie Hollins, Tom Dundee, Claudia Schmitt, Sean Bowers, The Gnome, and Barney Munger. You never knew who would roll through Bowers Towers. I even played pool at the Comet Tavern with John Prine. Besides jacking up the entire house a wall at a time to replace the sill beams, cutting a massive number of cords of wood for the four wood stoves, we expanded a deck up on the third floor roof. Imagine a view of the 22-mile-long Lake Washington and its two floating bridges. Just to

the south, the clouds dissipating from the 14,417 feet of Mt. Rainier creates local happiness. As Bryan says in his View from Home album, “When the mountain lifts her skirts, the view from home will flat out melt your mind.” Speaking of mind-numbing, Phil and Vivian Williams lived down the street. Phil was Bryan’s lawyer on the 35th floor of the Sea-First Building by day, who made replicas of Gibson F5 mandolins in his 1940s recording studio basement by night. Vivian was the Woman’s Fiddle Champion for the U.S. and Canada. Phil and Vivian started the Seattle Folk Society. I remember Bill Monroe and his Blue Grass Boys’ famous bus pulling up in front of their house and emptying out into a living room session. “Pill and Slivian,” as I called them, are so generous with their hospitality. They put up with me and Bowers. Wherever Bowers goes, the course of music friendship and history flows. Bryan was born in 1940 in Arlington, Virginia. He has a famous story that as a boy he was loved listening to the rhythmic chants and songs of the gandy dancers as they set the railroad tracks straight in the countryside. I have always seen that story as a foreshadowing of another story he would tell from stage about getting off track. Those gandy dancers may have set him subconsciously on his real track in life. As the tall youth he was, basketball became a passion. He went to college on a basketball scholarship but was arrested for marijuana possession. His train of life was now derailed.

THE FINAL ACT

Farewell, White Duke

e could be everything to anybody, or anything to everybody – we never knew. We weren’t allowed to know. Sometimes, it seemed he never knew himself.

And he was power. He was presence. He was simple, stunning, even in his most understated forms. “Onstage, I achieve emotion,” he once said. “It’s probably why I prefer dressing up as Ziggy to being David.” We never knew what would come next for David Bowie, who died Sunday from cancer. His 25th album, “Blackstar”, dropped only this past Friday, marking his 69th birthday. “(It) may be the oddest work yet from Bowie,” remarked London’s Times. They weren’t wrong: it may have been, or it still may be too soon to know for sure. But it was to be the final act in a career that seemed destined to push new boundaries forever. Perhaps this album, viewed in the light

“David Bowie was an uncompromising artistic genius who transcended musical genres, fashion, image and gender. He was also a huge influence on almost every artist that came after him. A talent of the highest level until the end.” -Erv Karwelis, President IDOL Records, former Rockford resident “The world should always have a David Bowie in it. Everybody who comes after him is nothing but an imitator. He is also the author of one of my favorite lines: “Under the moonlight, the serious moonlight.” When is the moonlight NOT serious? One of a kind.” -John Brizzolara, musician and former 96.7 The Eagle DJ “Bowie’s music meant beauty, quality, depth, but most of all originality. It took my mind on a journey that I loved.” -Gregory Michael Stahl, local blues guitarist

cast by his sudden and unexpected death, is just the next stage for him to conquer. This was Ziggy Stardust, after all, and he played guitar. And piano, and saxophone, and cello, and harmonica, and drums. He commanded stages merely by standing upon them. His voice could tear down walls. With his final movement, the Thin White Duke of Brixton would once again stun us all, leaving us in tears wanting – hoping that there was – more. “My whole professional life is an act,” Bowie said. “I slip from one guise to another very easily.” The act could not be stopped by his mortal life. He succumbed to an 18-month battle with cancer hidden from public view. Who knew? Who could know? It was the act, after all: David Bowie, vibrant and thriving at the end of his seventh decade of life, pushing musical and artistic boundaries for the umpteen-hundredth time. But he knew, and we may have known, too, had we only listened how we were supposed to. “Look up here, I’m in heaven,” he sang on the album’s first single, “Lazarus”. The video

“Bowie’s been such a recurring presence in the music world; it won’t be the same place without him.” -Bun E. Carlos, Cheap Trick “I’ve always been attracted to the odd, so David Bowie appealed to me very early in life. I think maybe the show Night Flight was the first time I experienced his act visually. It was shocking and I loved it. I was also always impressed at the way he reinvented himself over the years.” -Tom Buchko, local musician “I promoted one of his shows in the Chicago area after I left the Metro Center. The CFO of my company (female) was ga-ga for him. After I had alerted him about her feelings, I took her backstage to meet him. He put on an overt flirting show for the ages. Needless to say, I got whatever I needed after that.” -Doug Logan, former General Manager of the Rockford Metro Center Compiled by Todd Houston

shows a frail Bowie, prone in a hospital bed, his eyes covered by bandages. “I’ve got scars that can’t be seen. I’ve got drama, can’t be stolen. Everybody knows me now. “Look up here, man, I’m in danger. I’ve got nothing left to lose.” He had so much more to give; he was simply out of time to lead us. “It’s a good time to be David Bowie,” proclaimed The New York Times Monday, in a story that went to print just hours before news of his death broke via Facebook. It was as unfortunate as it was true: by the time the sun would rise Tuesday, Blackstar had risen to the top of charts across the world. And so it was that even in death a new guise was unveiled: that of Lazarus, only this time it would be the artist’s own death giving rise to his final work. “I don’t know where I’m going from here,” Bowie once warned us, “but I promise it won’t be boring.” It never was, David, and we will forever be thankful. Forever awaiting the final act. –Shane Nicholson

“I loved Bowie and it is hard to put into words how much his music influenced me. My girlfriend is the biggest David Bowie fan I have ever known. We have had many dinner table discussions over which albums we were feeling at the time, it usually boiled down to Ziggy vs Space Oddity.” -Stu Patterson, Kate’s Pie Shop “I consider David Bowie, the ultimate ground-breaking artist of my generation. He had an innate gift to continually transform his style (musically and visually), and push the envelope of what was trendy and cool. He also made people think outside the box. Regardless whether you were a fan or not, his legacy will continue to inspire countless musicians and artists way beyond our short time here on this planet.” -Lou Musa, former Rockford resident and lead guitarist of The Verve Pipe

Art in the Lofts new fundraiser for RAAC

By Anne E. O’Keefe

Rockford Area Arts Council

ealtor Kathleen Kline has been a generous venue participant of the Rockford Area Arts Council’s ArtScene at Garrison Lofts for years. When I ran into her a few months ago at an event, I asked if she would consider helping RAAC with a fundraiser in the cool spaces at Garrison. I believe her response was very close to, “Yes, let’s do it!” We hope you will join the fun. There will be artists’ work in three units. When Kline gets involved it isn’t merely by providing the space. She is very much the Pied Piper. She procures sponsors, gets donations for auction items, and coerces friends into volun-

teering and creating as well. At the first meeting she hosted at one of the units, she had already enlisted artists Judith Meyer and Susan Simmert. Judith Meyer moved here just over a year ago from New Mexico. Meyer is an adjunct instructor at Rock Valley College and Rockford University, teaching non-western art appreciation and drawing and composition. “When I moved here, I was excited to get involved in the art scene. I think it’s important for the local universities and the community to be brought together through the arts. I also believe the Rockford Area Arts Council is a good conduit; it injects life into our community,” Meyer said when asked why she is working on this event. She went on to say that creating art,

“is like oxygen to me, I have to do it to live.” Susan Simmert is new on the art scene, her first time participating was in the Fall ArtScene, fulfilling a long time dream. When I met her for the first time, at ArtScene, I was moved by her excitement. I remember thinking, that’s one of the many reasons the Arts Council must exist. It helps people fulfill their dreams. Simmert concurs saying, “RAAC is vital for the many talented artists we have in the area. When artists are happy everyone benefits!” “Art in the Lofts” is an evening with artists, “Mystery Box” Auction, beverages, appetizers, desserts and a drawing for donated artwork by featured artists Judith Meyer and Susan Simmert. We are so excited to have other artists

BOWERS

long-windedness about Bryan Bowers. Many of you have not had (yet many Webbies have had) 40 years of listening to and enjoying the “Bowers Experience.” So gandy dance on down to the marvelous Mandalay Room, 200 N. Church St. this Thursday night at 6:30 p.m. You might want to come early; could be crowded. Enjoy for yourself the “Bowers Experience.” Get ready for some jokes, some great stories, and some music that will take you through lost times and the talented soul of an American Treasure, Bryan Benson Bowers, the Triple B. He’s a friend for life.

From Page 9

the early ‘60s the common sense of legalization was unheard of, and Bowers was sent to prison. He has a very strong song about being released from prison and his unfulfilled intentions. I hope you hear “Prison Song” someday; it’s on his For You album. His dreams of being a professional athlete were now on rails passed, and so he switched his interests to guitar. Then he heard a local player on the autoharp. He soon purchased his first harp and began to listen to the music of the Carter family, Mother Maybelle Carter in particular. The future tracks of autoharp music stretched out before him with a passion. He went as far away from Virginia as he could get to make Seattle his home. He busked for street money in the renowned Pike Place Market and met Phil and Vivian Williams. He practiced relentlessly and learned fiddle tunes from Vivian. True musicologists, the Williams play the music of the Oregon Trail around the Northwest, sponsored by state arts councils. Their talent and knowledge is legendary. Classically-trained Vivian truly amazes, and wily Phil stands as a master of subtle humor, droll looks and fine mandolin and guitar playing. Find these CDs: Phil & Vivian Williams, LIVE; Fiddle Tunes of Lewis and Clark; and Dance Music of the Oregon Trail. Bryan constantly cites their influence on his music. Bryan continues to play guitar and has also played the mandola, a big mandolin, for many years. I really like the mandola, the deep tones, droning Irish cadences, reflecting to me the Emerald Isle’s Spanish and Moorish influences. He might laugh at such a comparison, and he’s famous for his crazy humor. His jokes (some very bad) are always a part of any phone conversation with him and his shows. Ask him about his song “The Scotsman” and his performances on the Dr. Demento Show.

joining in the fun; Cristi Kniess, Scott Long, Val Olafson, Sherry Pritz and Betsy Youngquist. The event will be held at Garrison Lofts, 419 John Street, Saturday, January 23, from 6-8 p.m. Your $25 donation will directly benefit RAAC, helping us fulfill our mission to support, promote and celebrate the arts for everyone! Tickets are available at RAAC, 713 East State Street or online at artsforeveryone.com. Kathleen Kline, of Dickerson Nieman. is doing this because “The arts open doors, and the eyes of individuals to a new world. Having these incredible artists here also shows a broader audience how the creatives can be successful at their work. And we are helping support RAAC, what could be better?” said Kline.

Bryan Bowers songwriting (he wrote “Berkley Woman” for John Denver) and his instrumental talent has brought him to play on many other national artist’s recordings, including those of John Prine, Emmylou Harris, Sam Bush, David Grisman, and Jerry Garcia. Through the largess of one of his patrons, Bowers assembled 55 of the nation’s best autoharp players and created the definitive three-CD set on autoharp music. From his time as a child in Virgina, Bryan has become the multi-stringed gandy dancer bringing out live and recorded tracks of original and historical music straight into the hearts of American musicology. He is an American Treasure. Bryan was inducted into the Autoharp Hall of Fame in 1993, joining Mother Maybelle Carter, Kilby Snow, and Sara Carter. In 2006, he received the Lifetime Achievement Award from the famous California Autoharp Gathering. He is also included in Frets Magazine’s First Gallery of the Greats. He has appeared on the television

program Real People, and he performed for Garrison Keeler’s Prairie Home Companion on NPR. He was also sent on tour as a cultural ambassador of the Arabian Gulf countries by the State Department’s US Information Agency. One of the joys of knowing Bryan is when you are hanging out with him, the songs are popping out of him. “Hey Frank,” begins a phone call several times a year, “Listen to this one I’m working on.” That “one” is either a new joke (sometimes a groaner) or a few lines from a new song that comes over the airways as he drives down the road to his next gig, speakerphone engaged. I have been privileged to hear a few of those songs before they were recorded. You really should get his albums so you can hear him too as you drive along. Bowers’ tunes make for great road music. He’s lively. He’s intense. He’s intricate. And he’s sad sometimes, but mostly Bowers creates something you’d like your ears to see. Well, as Ronald Reagan used to say, that’s my

Commentary

5 things to know about the Iowa caucuses

By Anthony J. Gaughan TheCoversation.com

he Iowa caucuses mark the official start of the presidential nomination race. This year the caucuses will be held on the night of February 1 when Iowa Republicans and Democrats will trek through the snow and cold to 1,681 party precincts located across the state. The polls currently place Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton and Republican Ted Cruz in first place in Iowa, but the Iowa caucuses have a long history of last-minute surprises and big upsets. Here are five facts that are key to understanding the Iowa caucuses:

1. Why Iowa goes first

Iowa’s first-in-the-nation status is an accident of history. Traditionally the caucuses were held in the spring, but in 1972 the Iowa Democratic party moved the caucuses to January because of local scheduling conflicts. The GOP followed suit in 1976. Iowa’s gone first ever since. Awed by the national media’s wall-to-wall coverage of the caucuses, the Iowa legislature enacted a law that requires the caucuses to precede all other presidential nominating contests by at least eight days. Accordingly, whenever other states attempt to skip to the head of the line, Iowa moves its caucus date forward. The parties have steadfastly supported the Iowa caucuses. Although critics point out that the state’s population is far smaller, more rural and less diverse than average, the national parties have turned away every effort to supplant Iowa’s “first-in-the-nation” status.

2. The caucuses are not an election

prominent exception. Unlike primary elections, which state and local governments administer, caucuses are private affairs run by the state parties. On caucus night, Iowa Democrats and Republicans convene separately at local party precincts to discuss the presidential race in town hall meetings. The parties follow different caucus rules. Iowa Republicans vote by secret ballot. Iowa Democrats, in contrast, publicly display their candidate preference by congregating in designated locations in the precinct building. A head count is then taken to determine the precinct’s winner. Although the caucuses may seem like democracy in action, the reality is the overwhelming majority of Iowa’s two million registered voters do not participate. Only the most partisan and ideologically committed voters attend the caucuses. The biggest open secret of the Iowa caucuses is that no presidential delegates are actually awarded on caucus night. The only immediate substantive purpose of the caucuses is to select delegates to county conventions, the first step in Iowa’s long and convoluted process of selecting presidential delegates. In a reform move last fall the Republicans made the precinct results binding on the delegate award process. But the actual award of presidential delegates isn’t officially made until the state conventions in the spring.

3. A strong track record of predicting the Democratic nominee

Despite the complicated nature of the caucuses, Iowa Democrats have an excellent track record of predicting the eventual Democratic nominee. The most recent example is January 2008,

Contrary to popular impression, the Iowa caucuses are not a traditional election. The term “caucus” simply means a meeting of members of the same political party. Although historically most states used caucuses to select presidential delegates, today the great majority of states opt for primary elections. Iowa is a

when Barack Obama upset Hillary Clinton in the Iowa caucuses, a victory that helped propel Obama to the White House. To show his gratitude to Iowa, President Obama held the last rally of his 2012 reelection campaign in Des Moines, where he tearfully declared: “This is where our movement for change began.” Iowa also played a key role in 2004, when John Kerry upset Howard Dean. Kerry went on to win the Democratic nomination. Iowa’s predictive powers date back to the 1970s. The caucuses provided a springboard to the Democratic nomination for Jimmy Carter in 1976 and 1980, Walter Mondale in 1984 and Al Gore in 2000. Since 1976, Iowa Democrats have got it wrong only twice: in 1992, when Iowa native Tom Harkin won the caucuses, and in 1988, when Dick Gephardt from neighboring Missouri won. If history is any guide, therefore, the candidate that prevails in Iowa on February 1 will likely be the Democratic nominee.

4. A poor track record of predicting the Republican nominee

In stark contrast, the Iowa Republican caucuses have a remarkably poor track record. Since 1980, Iowa Republicans have accurately predicted the GOP nominee only twice: Bob Dole in 1996 and George W Bush in 2000. In every other caucus, Iowa Republicans chose candidates that flopped outside Iowa. Why are Iowa Republicans so far out of step with the rest of the country? The answer is that Iowa Republicans are much more culturally conservative than the national average. Iowa GOP voters have consistently chosen polarizing, socially conservative presidential

candidates over more electable establishment candidates. For example, in 2008, the far-right social conservative candidate Mike Huckabee beat John McCain in Iowa. In 2012 Rick Santorum, a Republican even more conservative than Huckabee, defeated Mitt Romney. But neither Huckabee nor Santorum received a lasting boost from winning Iowa, and both campaigns fell far short of winning the GOP nomination. Wisely, therefore, the major establishment candidates in the 2016 GOP race–such as Jeb Bush, John Kasich and Chris Christie–have focused their efforts on New Hampshire. History makes clear that moderate candidates have no chance with Iowa Republicans.

5. You’ll be hearing about Iowa in November, too

Although social conservatives dominate the Iowa Republican party, the state as a whole is politically moderate. Indeed, by almost any measure, Iowa is remarkably well-balanced among Republicans, Democrats and independents. The legislature is evenly divided with Republicans controlling the House and Democrats controlling the Senate. A similar partisan balance is found in statewide races. Republicans currently control the governor’s office and both US Senate seats, but Democratic candidates have carried Iowa in every presidential election but one since 1988. Most revealing of all, more Iowans register as independents than as either Republicans or Democrats. In short, Iowa is a classic battleground state, which means Iowa’s importance in the 2016 campaign will continue long after February 1.

Odds are tonight’s Powerball winner will go bankrupt By Jay L. Zagorsky Ohio State University

he Powerball lottery is holding a drawing tonight for a jackpot that’s reached $1.5 billion. That’s after the 18 drawings held since November failed to yield a winner, causing the grand prize to swell to this record sum. This jackpot is drawing such attention that more people are buying tickets, and even the lottery’s own projections are changing rapidly. During the weekend the payout was an estimated $1.3 billion. Monday it was revised to $1.4 billion and on Tuesday it hit $1.5 billion. That makes it the largest lottery grand prize the world has ever seen, even compared with the “El Gordo” lottery in Spain, which in December awarded a larger cache of prizes ($2.4 billion) but spread it among thousands of winners. The odds of winning this huge sum of money on January 13 are very small (1 in 292 million). You are 250 times more likely to be hit by lightning. If every adult in the U.S. purchased just one ticket, each with a different number, there would still be a good chance (about 15 percent) that no winner would arise and the pot would grow even larger. On Wednesday night, however, a winner is actually very likely, since many lottery players are not limiting themselves to a single ticket and the massive prize is luring hordes of Americans to try their luck, along with – reportedly – thousands of Canadians. Once a winner is declared a more interesting question arises: what happens to all that money and the lucky ticket holder(s)? Fortunately for us, academia has a lot to say about it.

A smaller prize than it seems

Most of the academic research has dealt with smaller lottery prizes and inheritances, since there are relatively few giant jackpot winners. But while the $1.5 billion jackpot is eye-wateringly large, the actual payout will be much less. Wednesday night’s winner or winners will not actually receive $1.5 billion. Assuming just one person wins it, he or she can either choose a lump sum payment that amounts to about $930 million or will have to wait 30 years for all the payments to accrue. And then there’s the taxman’s big bite. Forbes estimates that a single winner in a low-tax state, like Florida, who elects to take all the money in one lump sum instead of in 30 payments will get a check for about a half-billion dollars. That jackpot is starting to look a lot smaller, though it’s still a fair chunk of change. Previous research suggests many people quickly spend any unexpected windfalls. A 2001 paper (by economists Guido Imbens and Bruce Sacerdote and statistician Donald Rubin) found

that lottery winners saved just 16 cents of every dollar won. Other studies found that instead of getting people out of financial trouble, winning the lottery got people into more trouble, since bankruptcy rates soared for lottery winners three to five years after winning. It is not only winning the lottery that causes people to spend. My own research found that the average person in their 20’s, 30’s and 40’s who was given an inheritance or large financial gift quickly lost half the money through spending or poor investments. Overall, research shows lottery winners and people getting windfalls spend or blow through much of the money. Nevertheless, lottery sales in the U.S. have increased dramatically since their introduction in the 1970s.

Blowing it all

So how exactly does a lottery winner blow through hundreds of millions of dollars? Demographic research on lottery players’ characteristics shows that lottery playing peaks when people are in the 30-39 age range and actually falls as people get older. The average person in the U.S. lives to age 79. This means a sole winner “blowing through it all” (and ending up with no assets to show for it) would have only about 45 years to spend the entire after-tax half-billion dollars (assuming a lump sum payment). That means the person would have to spend more than $10 million a year, roughly $30,000 per day (ignoring any

interest accrued). It is important to understand that most of the academic research separates out spending from investing. If a lottery winner “blows” all his money on expensive homes, paintings and very high-end cars, his net worth does not actually change. Instead, he has simply transferred one asset, which is cash, into another asset, like real estate, artwork or exotic cars. At the end of his life, if real estate, art and auto prices have not fallen, he is still just as rich as when he won the lottery. Blowing through the money, which leads to bankruptcy and low savings rates, means the winner has nothing to show for their spending besides a good time.

Could that happen with the latest jackpot?

We’ve already established that a sole winner of this week’s lottery will probably end up with a lot less than $1.5 billion. But imagine for a second that a lucky person manages to win all of that money; would it be possible to spend it all and arrive at life’s end with nothing to show for it? In fact, it has already been done once by a man named Huntington Hartford, who lived from 1911 to 2008. Huntington was the heir to The Great Atlantic & Pacific Tea Company fortune. This company, which started just before the Civil War, is better known as the A&P supermarket

chain. A&P was the first U.S. coast-to-coast food store, and from World War I to the 1960s was what Walmart is for today’s American shoppers. Huntington inherited approximately $90 million when he was 12. Adjusting for inflation means he was given almost $1.3 billion as a child, after taxes. Huntington declared bankruptcy in New York in 1992, approximately 70 years after being handed one of the largest fortunes in the world. Huntington had the reverse Midas touch. He lost millions buying real estate, creating an art museum and sponsoring theaters and shows. He combined poor business skills with an exceptionally lavish lifestyle. After declaring bankruptcy, he lived as a recluse with a daughter in the Bahamas at the end of his life. Huntington’s life story – coupled with academic research that suggests people quickly spend their windfalls – means not only that you have very long odds of winning Wednesday’s $1.5 billion Powerball jackpot prize, but you have just as long odds of keeping money around after winning it. If you are planning on playing, I wish you good luck. If you are planning on winning, I wish you even more luck. Nevertheless, the key lesson for everyone, whether you play or not, is that when you get a windfall or win the lottery, plan ahead and resist the all-too-human temptation to spend all the money. –TheCoversation.com

Your Horoscope By Denise Guzzardo Week of Jan. 13-19, 2016

This Week: Mercury moves into Sagittarius complimented by Jupiter making the weekend of January 16 a memorable one filled with promise and opportunity. Get out and about and enjoy this astrological climate regardless of the other influences that have been brewing all month. The full moon arrives on January 23 in the sign of Leo, which could prove to be a little bit on the aggressive side. Especially when we consider the influence of Mercury retrograde adding fuel to the fire. The best way to handle this type of dynamic would be to redirect this energy into something that allows us to blow off a little productive steam. Exercise or physical labor that includes the completion of projects around the home will be time well invested. Enjoy! Aries (March 21 to April 19) — An unexpected guest may arrive at your home or place of business this week creating some unusual circumstances. It would be wise not to encourage this or you may end up dealing with a repeat offender. It’s not that they bring an element of danger to the mix, but more of an annoyance if it’s encouraged. Good news arrives midweek regarding financial or legal affairs, Aries. Taurus (April 20 to May 20)— Romantic opportunities are clear as day this week. However; the object of your affection may be a little leery of the company you keep. Be cautious as to who you allow within your inner circle and take a serious inventory of your surroundings. You don’t want to miss out on a fabulous connection, Taurus. Gemini (May 21 to June 20) — You are finally back on your normal routine that provides you with a fresh perspective over the next few months. The heart wants what the heart wants. However; you may need to be the one to step up to the plate and do something about it. Especially if there were hard feelings in the past. If someone has been haunting you and weighing heavy on your mind, it’s time to make a stand, Gemini. Cancer (June 21 to July 22) — It may feel as though the more you try to make something right, the more complicated it becomes. Maybe this time you need to just worry about your own heart and peace of mind and let everyone else fend for themselves. Your feelings are just as valid as the next person. If another cannot recognize this, find someone who can, Cancer. Leo (July 23 to Aug. 22) — Whenever you can take the heat for someone else you seem to do it with grace and ease. This time it may be best to let them suffer the consequences of their actions on their own time. You have far better things to do with your time and energy this week. A hectic schedule with positive activity puts you on top of your game. You don’t need a

stick in the mud bringing you down, Leo. Virgo (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) — It’s time to reach out to that emotional friend or family member and clear the air. It’s been weighing so heavy on your heart and mind, now is the time to take some action. Regardless of the outcome you will know in your heart you did the right thing. Setting a boundary with an overbearing relative may be a difficult task, but it needs be done. You’re having trouble seeing how much this is taking a toll on you, Virgo. Libra (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) — A touching scenario arrives this week with a family member or true friend. You are able to tap into the core of this being with crystal clarity. As a result of this you learn more about yourself. The things that make you tick inside become more delightful to you now. There is a business lead or a job opportunity that you need to follow up on at this time. In the long run this will be the best fit, Libra. Scorpio (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) — You are finally beginning to crawl out of a financial hole. Just breathe deep and know that you can finally develop your path and long-term goals. At week’s end you may receive some unexpected news about a friend or relative. Wait until you hear both sides of the story before you make a judgment call, Scorpio. Sagittarius (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) — A love from your past may arrive at this time and you may not know quite how to handle it. When in doubt, keep your mouth closed and your

ears relatively open. You have other options arriving in the near future so you may not want to lock yourself into a familiar pattern that you know what the possible outcome will be. You’re knocking it out of the park with finances by week’s end, Sag. Capricorn (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) — Another day another dollar, this is becoming a bit of a monotonous course for you. You need to take a day (or two) off and regroup your mind, body and spirit. Once this is accomplished you can go back to your daily routine with a fresh perspective. Romance may need a little TLC this weekend. Little things mean a lot, Capricorn. Aquarius (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) — The only way around it is through it. To evade and avoid a pressing issue will only exaggerate the outcome. In the long run this will be easier than you think to resolve. Midweek it’s back to business. Catch up with phone calls and appointments to develop a stronger client base. The next few months provide expansions with career, Aquarius. Pisces (Feb. 19 to March 20) — You finally have the opportunity to speak your peace. Knowing this, choose your words with love and care. Your ability to move mountains will arrive midweek. Everything happens for a reason, the answers you’re looking for will arrive at week’s end. Your finances will improve immensely, Pisces.

Japanese beetles: know thy enemy By Grant McCarty Local Foods and Small Farms Educator, University of Illinois Extension

Continuing our pest series, Japanese Beetles are notorious for targeting both fruits and vegetables. These pests may also target your flowers and shrubs. While fairly new to Illinois compared to other pests, this insect has become notorious for defoliating foliage very fast due to their voracious appetite and sheer volume. Depending on the season, the beetles may be a problem. The adult form is an emerald green beetle that emerges from the soil in late June to feed in July and August. The adult form can be a fairly generalist insect, eating many different types of plants. During the summer, the adults will lay eggs in the soil where the grubs will hatch and feed on roots/decaying matter into the fall and winter. As temperatures get colder, the grubs move downward and overwinter. In the springtime, pupation will occur and adults will emerge again. Each summer can be different for Japanese Beetle populations. The last two winters, while cold, have not had the extended

cold period in the soil that we need in order to kill these juvenile populations. Anecdotally, populations of Japanese Beetles seemed low in summer of 2015 but summer 2016 may be a different story. For control of Japanese Beetles, you have a couple of options. Some growers/backyard growers will use a Japanese Beetle trap to lure the beetle populations away from their plants. These can work up to a certain point as by luring them away, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have a large population that you need to now control. They also may not work well. If using the trap, you want it to be more than 50 ft away from the crop you are hoping to protect. Another control strategy is to knock beetles from the plants into soapy water in a bucket early in the morning. The beetles will drown in this water. Depending on how many plants you have, this can be a fairly reliable solution although you will need to Affordable Senior Apartments do this every couple of days. Japanese beetles are attracted to plants that have already had some defoliation from them as they release a hormone. Chemical solutions are available but for many growers the easiest Is Now Accepting Applications for solution can be hand picking.

Future of ‘fair-share dues’ likely in the balance

By Scott Reeder

Illinois News Network

WASHINGTON — Forced unionization of government workers may be on the brink of ending in the United States if questions asked Monday by justices of the U.S. Supreme Court are any indication. Rebecca Friedrichs, a California public school teacher, is challenging the constitutionality of being forced to give money to the union that represents teachers in her school district. Friedrichs spoke to reporters minutes after her case was argued before the court. “I’m here today with my fellow plaintiffs because our voices have been silenced for decades by forced unionism,” she said. “The unions forced me to fund collective bargaining efforts that were harmful to my students, and that’s offensive to me. When the union protects teachers who are abusive or who are no longer effective in the classroom at the expense of small children, I have a moral dilemma with that.” Government workers can now be forced to subsidize unions by paying agency fees or “fair share dues” because of a Supreme Court decision made 39 years ago, Abood vs. Detroit Board of Education. Justice Stephen Breyer, a liberal stalwart, said he see merits in Friedrichs’ argument but questioned whether it is appropriate for the court to overturn the Abood precedent. He noted the nation depends on a stable set of legal precedents and that it would create chaos if the high court routinely overturns itself. David Frederick, a lawyer for unions involved in the case, expressed fear that overturning Abood could create a class of “free riders” who benefit from union-negotiated wages and benefits but refuse to financially support the unions. But Chief Justice John Roberts countered, “If employees have shown overwhelmingly they want collective bargaining, it seems to me the free rider problem is insignificant.” Justice Anthony Kennedy, who is often the swing vote on the court, said the issue is one of “compelled riders” not “free riders.” “The union is basically making these teachers compelled riders on issues which they strongly

disagree,” he said. Kennedy, along with Justices Samuel Alito, Antonin Scalia and Roberts were critical of the Abood precedent. Justice Clarence Thomas did not speak during oral arguments, which is his custom. But he is considered a near certain vote for Friedrichs. Roberts said that by its very nature, everything a government-employee union does is political. In fact, Roberts asked for an example of “non-political speech” that the union negotiates. The example California Solicitor General Edward Dumont gave was mileage reimbursement rates. But Roberts countered that even that example constitutes political speech because it deals with how tax dollars should be spent. “Everything that is collectively bargained with the government is within the political sphere,” added Scalia. But Justice Sonia Sotomayor said unions need to remain viable so government can negotiate with one entity. But Friedrichs’ attorney, Michael Carvin, told reporters that unions remain viable in the 25 states that don’t allow mandatory fees. And he predicted a ruling in favor of Friedrichs would not disable unions. “It may limit their revenues somewhat, but they can compensate for that by being less involved in things like politics and tend to their knitting by representing their members in collective bargaining,” Carvin said. The high court is expected to issues its ruling by the end of June. Mark Janus, a state worker who lives in Springfield, traveled to Washington to hear the Friedrichs case argued. “I got involved with this because it’s historic,” said Janus, who is one of three plaintiffs who filed a similar case in Illinois. That case is on hold until a ruling comes down in the Friedrichs’ case. “I have a difference of opinion with the union and with what they have been doing over the years. Just look at the state of Illinois and its situation,” he said. “In some cases, the unions have backed certain candidates, which goes against what the taxpayers are looking for.”

WE’RE SLICING

Perception of organics affected by where, how they’re sold

By Debra Levey Larson U of I News Bureau

URBANA – The organic food industry has grown from fresh produce and grains to snack foods and condiments—from farmers markets to supercenters. Has this new variety in organic products, and the availability of them, affected consumers’ perceptions? A University of Illinois researcher and her team designed an experiment to provide insight on some of the variables that may influence opinions about organic foods. “Past research has often asked how much someone is willing to pay for an organic product, but has rarely considered the context in which that purchase takes place,” says U of I food economist Brenna Ellison. “In this study, we look at how the organic label interacts with the product type as well as the retail purchase context.” Ellison and her team conducted an experiment with 605 people who evaluated a food product’s expected taste, nutrition, safety, and likelihood of purchase. The products were strawberries and chocolate sandwich cookies sold by a fictitious brand called Cam’s. In the experiment, the products were either organic or non-organic and sold in one of two supercenters, Walmart or Target. Each participant only evaluated one of the eight potential combinations. “We chose strawberries and cookies because they represent a ‘virtue’ and a ‘vice’ product, respectively, and both are currently available in the marketplace in organic and non-organic forms,” Ellison says. “We chose Target and Walmart because the two stores have similar prices but very different brand images. Target has positioned itself in the marketplace as a store that emphasizes

style, design, and aspiration. Walmart, conversely, promotes a low price image.” Results of the study showed that context indeed matters. While organic products were generally rated more highly than non-organic, the researchers found an interesting interaction between the organic label and product type. “Organic strawberries had higher expected taste ratings than non-organic strawberries, but cookie taste ratings did not differ,” Ellison says. “However, the opposite was true with nutrition ratings. Organic cookies were rated as more nutritious – almost twice as healthy – as non-organic cookies, but no difference was observed for strawberry ratings. “These results suggest that the purchase of organic virtue foods like strawberries may be based more on taste considerations, but organic vice foods like cookies may be purchased based on nutrition considerations,” Ellison says. Another finding from the research was that where the food item was purchased mattered. The researchers concluded that retailers like Target may be better outlets for promoting organic vice products while retailers like Walmart may only be good outlets for promoting organic virtue products. The study also revealed that participants seemed misinformed about organic standards. “Even though products carrying the USDA Organic label must contain at least 95 percent organic ingredients by definition, our participants believed organic cookies only contained 62 percent organic ingredients,” Ellison says. “This suggests more education may be needed to ensure consumers understand what the organic label means and that this definition does not change across products or stores.”

State paces region but land prices down

Staff Report Farm land prices continue to spiral but Illinois’ farmers have a better outlook this year than their regional neighbors. A softer agricultural land market will continue in 2016, says Farmers National Company (FNC), with values for high quality land holding steadier, while lower quality land values decline. For states in the Mississippi river valley, downward trends are expected to continue. “Values are down seven to 10 percent from six months ago,” said FNC’s Roger Hayworth. “The majority of land is still being bought by local landowners and farmers looking to add another 80 to 100 acres. “If high quality farmland is for sale in a popular county, there will be a lot of local competition, especially if it hasn’t changed hands in 50 to 60 years and especially by neighboring farmers looking to expand. If it has been well maintained with proper drainage, tiling and or new irrigation equipment, then it sells well,” he said. “Buyers will pay a pre-

mium to buy acres in an area they really want.” Hayworth said if commodity prices do not increase in 2016, there likely will be another slide in land values toward the end of the year. “Since grain prices are down, farm operators have less to spend on land. They will pay up for quality acres,” Hayworth said. “The marginal land, B or C ground, is not highly sought after, so there are fewer aggressive buyers for those acres and their values can be down 10 to 20 percent.” Still, land values remain historically high compared to five or six years ago, Hayworth noted. “Seven or eight years ago, there was a spike off the charts. There were some properties in Indiana that had been valued at $3,500-5,000 that sold as high as $11,000-12,000, but now they’re back down to $8,500-10,000. That’s still very strong,” he said. Top prices in this region can be seen in Illinois at $11,200 per acre on average for high quality land. These levels are followed by Indiana with values up to $9,000 per acre and Ohio at $7,300 per acre.

Pundits or pitchmen?

Are plugs for pizza a breach of journalistic ethics? By Russell Frank TheConversation.com

etween them, ESPN’s Adam Schefter and Chris Mortensen have amassed more than six million Twitter followers. All were doubtless fascinated to learn that the two sports journalists planned to watch football and eat pizza on New Year’s Eve. At first glance, Schefter’s and Mortensen’s tweets appear to be the usual social media sludge, like your Facebook friend’s photo of the blueberry muffins she baked this morning. But Schefter and Mortensen didn’t just say they intended to eat pizza. They specified whose pizza they intended to eat. (I’m withholding the name of their pizza provider on the grounds that the company has gotten enough free publicity from this little affair already. For the purposes of this discussion let’s call them Big Pizza.) There are two possible explanations for these tweets: 1. In an amazing coincidence, Schefter and Mortensen were seized by the same unsolicited, spontaneous urge to share their enthusiasm for Big Pizza. 2. The tweets were plugs, which is to say, paid endorsements. It should be obvious that the correct explanation is B, but it wasn’t nearly obvious enough: the tweets weren’t labeled as ads. A few days ago, Deadspin called them on it. The Wall Street Journal followed up. Both news outlets pointed out that the Federal Trade Commission frowns on such nondisclosures. The coverage prompted apologies from ESPN and Big Pizza. “It was a mistake,” said Big Pizza. From a journalism ethics standpoint, this isn’t exactly Jayson Blair or Stephen Glass territory. (Blair, writing for The New York Times, and Glass, writing for the New Republic, were banished from newsrooms forever for passing off fiction as fact.) Compared to the gross conflict of interest at the very heart of ESPN’s existence, the New Year’s pizza tweets are the tiniest of blips. (The media conglomerate purports to offer unbiased news coverage of the very leagues they pay hundreds of millions of dollars to for broadcasting rights.) In fact, the usual conflict of interest concerns barely apply: journalists are told not to take money from outside entities lest their impartiality be compromised – or appear to be compromised – if ever they are called upon to report on those entities. But there’s little chance of a sports journalist ever being asked to dig up dirt on Big Pizza.

A credibility problem festers here nonetheless. As a reporter, I’m expected to name people and organizations only when they’re relevant to what I’m reporting. If I toss in a reference to a person or organization as a favor, or because I’m a friend, or for a fee, it calls into question all my choices of who and what to name, just as using one staged or digitally altered news photograph calls into question the legitimacy of all other news photos: how is the audience to know whether an image is real or fake, whether a story

is newsworthy or promotional? Some might say that any discussion of journalism ethics is moot when it comes to ESPN’s “personalities” because they’re not really journalists at all. Or if they are, they’ve clearly taken off their journalistic fedoras and put on their party hats when they tell their Twitter followers their exciting plans for New Year’s Eve. This, we’re told, is the mashed-up world in which we all must live: Everyone glides from platform to platform in a seamless meld of news,

gossip and marketing. Well here’s the fuddy-duddy view. First, Schefter and Mortensen most assuredly are journalists. Both had distinguished careers at respected newspapers before coming to ESPN. Mortensen has won a George Polk Award, which is to the Pulitzer Prize as a Golden Globe Award is to the Oscars. And if you’re a journalist, you’re always a journalist. There’s no going “off-duty.” If I’m covering Donald Trump on the campaign trail for The New York Times, I can’t blog, tweet or yammer on a TV talk show about what a blowhard he is. Anything I say in any of those contexts becomes a prism through which my work for The New York Times will be judged. Disclosure of the Big Pizza tweets as ads would have solved the problem of the audience not knowing when Schefter and Mortensen are speaking for themselves and when they’re speaking as paid pitchmen. But a cheesiness problem remains. Surely ESPN pays these guys enough that if Big Pizza comes calling, they should have no trouble saying, “No thanks.” Professor Russell Frank worked for newspapers in California and Pennsylvania as a reporter and editor for 12 years before joining the Pennsylvania State University College of Communications faculty in 1998.

Tales From The Trough

BACK IN FRONT Rockford rallies to regain division lead By Todd Reicher Columnist

With only one game on the schedule this week, and the Milwaukee Admirals losing over the weekend, the Rockford IceHogs had the opportunity to take over first place in the Division with a Sunday win over the Iowa Wild. Despite holding the worst record in the league this season, the Wild have been playing inspired hockey lately, and earned a win over the IceHogs recently, as well as beating the Admirals the night before. The Wild came out of the gates hard, and wound up tallying the first goal of the game on a redirected shot from Jordan Schroeder. The power play goal scored at 4:37 of the opening frame, came 1:02 into the man advantage, putting the Wild up early 1-0. Rockford answered on their first power play attempt with P.C. Labrie scoring his 10th of the season at 9:32 of the period to even things up at 1-1. Rockford’s goal came at almost the exact same time into the power play, 1:03. Ryan Hartman and Ville Pokka were credited with the assists on the tying goal. The assist by Pokka gave him points in four straight games. Early in the second frame, Ryan Haggerty gave Rockford their first lead of the game. Haggerty lifted a nice backhand over Leland Irving for his fourth of the season, assisted by Jake Dowell and Kiril Gotovets. Rockford would extend their lead to 3-1 at 16:14 of the period with a marker from Chris DeSousa. The rookie’s fourth goal of the season,

IceHogs’ goalie Michael Leighton. Todd Reicher, file

assisted by Pokka and Daniel Paille, gave Rockford a cushion going into the final 20 minutes. Iowa put 30 goals on Michael Leighton in the first 40 minutes, but the veteran only allowed the one power play goal in the first. On the flip side, Irving allowed three Rockford goals on 25 shots. The third period was a different game as Rockford locked the game down, holding the Wild to only four shots on net while amassing

six of their own. With the win, Leighton upped his record to 174-3 and a 2.33 goals-against-average to go along with a .925 save percentage. The stats were good enough to earn Leighton 2016 All-Star honors along with Hartman. Rockford will now begin a stretch of eight straight home games, starting with a home game last night against the Chicago Wolves. The Ice-

Blackhawks heating up in new year By Adam Hess Contributor

ith the Florida Panthers’ 3-2 overtime loss to the Vancouver Canucks on Monday night, the Chicago Blackhawks remain the only NHL team without a loss in the new year. The Blackhawks have won seven straight games, four of which since the calendar rolled over to 2016. This recent stretch of strong play from the reigning Stanley Cup Champions now has them poised just four points behind the Dallas Stars in the Central Division. Being in this position at this point in the season is something that seemed unlikely not too long ago. In mid-November, when the season was just reaching its one-month point, the Blackhawks found themselves in fifth place in the Central. The teams in front of them were playing very well, and they were struggling in ways that were

cause for legitimate concern among fans. I personally found myself seriously doubting the Blackhawks in some ways I didn’t expect I ever would this season. Not just doubting their ability to repeat at Stanley Cup Champions, but also in some ways doubting if they would even make the playoffs at all. The position they were in, the way they were playing, and the strength of the teams above them in the Central Division were all reason to doubt. Duncan Keith was hurt, Marian Hossa and Jonathan Toews weren’t producing, and the Blackhawks were essentially a one-line team. Some of these issues have been somewhat persistent. As I wrote last week, Hossa and Toews have been struggling to perform due to low shooting percentages, but there is reason to believe that a regression is coming for them. The Blackhawks still rely heavily on Artemi Panarin, Patrick Kane, and Artem Anisimov

to do their scoring, but their depth has been playing much better as well. The biggest reason for the Blackhawks success has been the stellar play of Corey Crawford, beyond a shadow of a doubt. Crawford is rising to stardom at the perfect time for the Blackhawks. He is third among NHL goalies in wins, ninth in save percentage, and first in shutouts. Without his incredible success, the Blackhawks would undoubtedly be in a much more precarious position. While there are still flaws in the Blackhawks’ game, they have been able to find ways to play well in spite of them. As they continue to progress and figure out how to cover up their issues, they will continue to close the gap on Dallas. And in reality, they don’t even have to overcome the Stars in the Division in order to put themselves in a position to win the Stanley Cup. If they simply make the playoffs, they have a shot. To top off all the good feelings, head coach Joel

Quenneville was given a three-year extention through the 2019-20 season on Tuesday. “Well, your wildest dreams you wouldn’t have expected what happened happened,’’ Quenneville said. “But even an optimistic point of view was that there was an exciting young team that had a bright future. Things developed in a great way right off the bat.’’ “We’ve got a great situation going here,’’ general manager Stan Bowman said. “Fortunate to have Joel on board, and he’s been a huge part of what we’ve accomplished as a group. There’s no one more you want behind the bench than Joel.’’ As good as some of the other teams in the NHL have been this year, it’d be foolish to count the Blackhawks out yet.
