Rockford Public Schools said Tuesday that a late cancellation decision was forced due to an electrical failure in their engine warming system.

“While staff tried for several hours to get buses started this morning, more than a third of our bus fleet was exposed to the extreme cold and wouldn’t start, despite every effort,” RPS said in a statement.

“Unfortunately, this also delayed our notification process. Ideally we will notify RPS 205 families, staff and the community between 5:30 and 6 a.m. at the latest of any school closures or cancellations because of weather or weather-related issues.”

RPS says it expects all classes and after school activities to resume on Wednesday.

The Illinois Secretary of State’s office owes millions of dollars in utilities and rent across the state because of the budget impasse.

Secretary of state Press Secretary Dave Druker says they immediately started paying some bills when the legislature and governor approved $10 million, but the office still owes Springfield’s city owned utility $3.7 million. There’s other money they owe elsewhere.

“Around the state, we owe $4 million yet in leases and utilities and we’ve reached the point where we’ve made some inroads on that but there’s still a little bit of money we owe on that too. It increases each month. We paid them for the first three months of the fiscal year.”

The state is now nearly seven months into the fiscal year without a balanced budget.

Meanwhile, Illinois Secretary of State Police are doing the job a private vendor was doing, but don’t expect that to save taxpayers money.

Druker says they lost the vendor that would transport money from drivers’ facilities around the state to secure locations.

“The firm that would pick up the money at the facilities, they stopped doing work for us because they weren’t getting paid — Garda — and they have been paid and we’re negotiating with them to see if they’ll come back.”

Druker says having the Secretary of State Police pick up the money isn’t a cost savings for taxpayers.

“Because they’re then being taken off of responsibilities that they have with their jobs.”

Druker says overtime may also play a factor in increased costs.

Governor 1.4 percent

Rauner Reversal Governor pushes for impasse days after issuing denial

By Rich Miller

By Mark Fitton

Capitol Fax

Illinois News Network

lot of folks have taken to calling Bruce Rauner “Governor 1 Percent” because of his immense personal wealth. Gov. Rauner himself told the Chicago Sun-Times during the 2014 campaign that he was in the top one-tenth of one percent of income earners.

But, right now, anyway, he ought to be referred to as “Governor 1.4 percent.”

Why? Stay with me a bit and I’ll explain.

I sat down for an interview last week with Gov. Rauner. As with just about every reporter, Rauner blamed House Speaker Michael Madigan for stifling his beloved Turnaround Agenda. The governor said he was “frustrated” with Madigan for saying that his anti-union, pro-business reforms were “unrelated to the budget.”

“For example,” Rauner said, “if we can get business regulatory change so I can recruit manufacturers here and more transportation companies here, and more businesses here, we can generate billions of new revenue without raising tax rates. That’s directly tied to the budget.”

“Billions?” I asked.

“Billions,” he replied, while promising to send me a detailed analysis.

A few days later, his staff e-mailed me a memo that the governor had sent to lawmakers last fall. You can see it yourself at CapitolFax.com/turnaround.

But the memo didn’t really say much of anything about revenues, other than if the governor could get Illinois to “average” levels of unemployment and Gross State Product and if the governor could stop the migration of Illinoisans to other states, his agenda would produce a grand total of $510 million in additional revenues.

That ain’t “billions.”

And while $510 million is nothing to sneeze at, it won’t even cover the interest on the state’s mountain of overdue bills that have been accruing because the state has no budget and no way to pay them.

Of course, the state has not had a budget since June and has no way to pay those overdue bills because the governor refuses to negotiate a new budget until he gets his Turnaround Agenda passed, which according to his own memo wouldn’t produce enough revenue to pay the juice on money owed to the state’s vendors — not to mention the universities which haven’t received any

SPRINGFIELD — Is Illinois headed toward a state workers strike?

That’s the question in Springfield, where Gov. Bruce Rauner’s administration on Friday asked the Illinois Labor Relations Board to determine if talks between the state and its biggest employee union have hit impasse.

If that board agrees that talks are at an impasse — a point where further progress isn’t possible — the Rauner administration might implement the terms of its final offer to the union, opening the possibility of a work stoppage.

The two sides are taking aggressive and oppositional public stances, with the GOP and its supporters painting Rauner as the taxpayers’ watchdog and Democrats and the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees depicting the Winnetka Republican as a union buster.

The talks between the governor’s team and AFSCME Council 31 negotiators apparently broke down late last week, when the union claimed Rauner’s team unilaterally declared an impasse and left without scheduling further meetings.

Rauner disagreed with that characterization, telling Illinois News Network his people simply asked whether the talks were at impasse because it was obvious progress wasn’t being made and hadn’t been made for dozens of sessions.

A

Questions for ILRB

On Friday, the governor’s office put the question of impasse to the ILRB for a decision.

Although talks began in January 2015, the contract between the state and AFSCME — which represents about 35,000 state workers — expired at the end of June. Employees have been largely working under the terms of their previous contract by way of “tolling agreements,” or deals to keep talking while both sides pledge not to force a work stoppage.

In a question-and-answer document prepared by the administration, it says it still has not unilaterally declared impasse but is honoring the tolling agreements struck with AFSCME.

Crooks & Liars

To that end, Rauner says, his action on Friday puts four key questions before the Labor Relations Board: •Whether the parties are at an impasse; •Whether they have been negotiating in good faith; •Whether the governor has presented a reasonable last, best, and final offer; •Whether that offer can be implemented.

AFSCME disagreed with the governor’s actions.

“We reject the claim that the bargaining process is at an impasse,” AFSCME said in a written statement.

“It’s regrettable and damaging to the public interest that the governor has chosen a confrontational path.

AFSCME said Rauner is making “‘my way or no way’ demands of state employees (that) are the obstacle to a fair agreement.”

As might be expected, the administration says otherwise. It cites a long list of what it says are concessions to the union, which the governor’s team argues is trying to maintain the status quo on terms and gain across-theboard raises the state can’t afford.

AFSCME says Rauner’s proposals would leave most members without raises for the life of a new contract, while Rauner counters that his proposals make raises reachable for employees with good attendance and without work-rule violations.

AFSCME also says proposed increases in health insurance costs coupled with a lack of scheduled raises mean its members will see their earnings go down. The Rauner team says Illinois state employees enjoy generous medical benefits at contribution levels well below those of comparable private-sector workers.

Rauner cites a need to reduce state spending as Illinois grapples with financials that included projected deficit spending at $4 billion to $5 billion for the current year, a stack of past-due bills of about $4.4 billion and growing, and more than $110 billion in unfunded pension obligations.

Sen. Christine Radogno, leader of the state Senate Republicans, said Rauner has shown himself “a true See REVERSAL on Page 8

ROCKFORD – Police Lieutenant Walter Felton has a few of his own ideas of what kind of person should be selected as Rockford’s next police chief.

In the police chief selection process, the police department looks to an outside assessment company for advice, but ultimately, the fire and police commission board has the final say.

For Lt. Felton personally, the city needs a police chief who focuses on community involvement.

“The amount of community involvement we have now is a start, but I really want to quell the idea that it’s an us vs. them system,” Felton said.

“Our system is us and them.”

Felton said that since Rockford has a large immigrant population, the ‘us vs. them’ image can be hard to fight.

“These people come from a country where the government is not them,” Felton said. “Their government truly is against them.”

Felton said that because of this, a lot of people come here for political asylum.

He explained that it isn’t like a restaurant where

you can go online and see all the good things people have said about the department, and that the department relies heavily on word of mouth for their reputation.

Felton has been with the Rockford Police Department (RPD) Felton for 28 years. He started where all officers start: on patrol, before being promoted to detective.

He worked in youth and sex crimes for ten years before another promotion to sergeant , alwong with being a crime scene supervisor for nine years.

Felton has also served as a field training officer and on the SWAT team during his time with RPD. While Felton doesn’t believe the police department has reached their ideal position in the community, or that the department will ever win 100 percent favor with the community, it is still important to better their image.

“People tend to perceive bad where there is none,” Felton said. “Our stock and trade is coming

into contact with people on their worst days, which is why it’s easy to throw stones at the police.”

An important part of changing that perception, Felton said, is putting officers in positions of positive interaction within the community.

To achieve this, the department has been working with community groups and sending out community service officers.

Unfortunately, though, there are things that stand in the way of the department’s goals.

“Some of our desires are tempered by financial reality,” Felton said.

“We have to operate within our budget. We’re a government agency, we can’t just put everything on a credit card.”

One aspect Felton would like to see money put towards is hiring more officers.

“We have 290 officers now. If we added 15 more, in a 300 man department, that’s a 5 percent increase,” Felton said.

“We’d have an opportunity to do a better job by getting more officers out there.”

Felton says the need for community feedback is paramount, though many don’t engage when asked. The department has sent out mail surveys to the community but has received little response.

“I really want to quell the idea that it’s an us vs. them system. Our system is us and them.”

Energy & Environment

Renewable energy shines through in new era

By Drs. Robert and Sonia Vogl President and Vice President, Illinois Renewable Energy Association

R

enewable energy and efficiency interests benefited when oil prices rose during the 1970s but were set back when oil prices collapsed during the 1980s. Saudi Arabia flooded the market with oil driving its costs down to around $10 per barrel.

Currently Saudi Arabia continues to pump oil to protect its market share by driving out high cost producers. The oil glut and low cost of fossil fuels has caused a major cutback in the industry and has delayed $380 billion of investments in new oil developments according to a report by Bloomberg. About 27 billion barrels of oil equivalents have been delayed which is about three million barrels per day. Development of costly unconventional oil reserves from arctic, deep offshore, tar sands and dense shale formations are being postponed.

While many analysts believe the glut could last for years, Arthur Berman, an oil geologist, estimates the glut is around 1.5 million barrels per day which could disappear quickly as we are not investing in finding the oil to replace what is

being consumed.

The expected adverse impact from the oil glut on renewable energy installations has not occurred. Bloomberg news reported that in 2015 the world added more renewable power capacity than coal, natural gas and oil combined. China’s investment in renewable energy rose 17 percent and U.S. investment was up 7.5 percent contributing to a global increase of 121 gigawatts. By 2030 global renewable investments are projected to increase fourfold from current levels. The International Energy Agency expects solar to be the global leader in electrical production by 2050.

The need to curb air pollution and reduce carbon emissions in urban areas stimulated an interest in electric vehicles. According to Mazor’s Edge, BYD Chinese vehicle manufacturer is the world’s leading producer of electric buses and cars. In 2015 the firm secured a Washington State Department of Transportation contract for up to 800 electric buses. They recently signed a contract to deliver 300 electric buses to the Chinese city of Shanwei and anticipate having 3010 electric buses in service there by 2019.

The outlook for electric vehicles provided in the OPEC’s World Energy Outlook forecasts only

moderate increases in the sale of electric vehicles by 2040 due to the need to cut battery costs by 30-50 percent to make them economically viable.

Battery costs have already fallen by 50 percent over the last five years and manufacturers expect them to continue to fall.

Low oil prices have hurt sales of all fuel efficient vehicles, including the popular Prius hybrid. With low fuel prices some automakers question the need to reach the federal mandate of a fleetwide average of 54.5 mpg by 2025. The standards are under review and if abandoned the incentive for manufacturing electric vehicles would weaken.

Support for retaining the standards are driven by the need to cut carbon emissions.

One drawback of electric vehicles has been their limited range. An electric vehicle owner recently made an overnight round trip from Rockford to Chicago and recharged the batteries once. If the new Chevy Bolt lives up to its billing it will be able to travel 200 miles between charges further reducing the range issue. Since utility earnings are suffering from a drop in electrical demand, they could benefit from increased use of electric vehicles.

advocate for taxpayers at the negotiation table — something AFSCME may not be accustomed to — but it’s the undisputed reality of our financial crisis.”

Some Democrats, however, say the governor always has intended to force a strike and wants to bust AFSCME. “Today, we see Gov. Rauner’s true intentions,” said State Rep. Rob Martwick, D-Chicago. “His rhetoric during his campaign for governor was about forcing a strike, and today it is clear that he’s been on this path all along.”

State Sen. Gary Forby, D-Benton, called Rauner’s decision to seek an impasse ruling “just another step in his plan to make Illinois a right-to-work state.”

State Rep. Ron Sandack, R-Downers Grove, said he thinks the picture is more complicated.

“The question is, ‘Has the pendulum swung too far (and) for too long in state employees’ favor?’”

Sandack asked. “Now, I don’t know the answer to that definitively, but that has been part and parcel of the bargaining process between the governor’s staff and the representatives of AFSCME, and that bargaining has been going on for the better part of a year.”

“Sometimes people of goodwill just don’t see issues eye to eye,” Sandack said. “It just could be there are fundamental disagreements over what constitutes a fair wage and fair benefits (and) what the state can pay or what the state should pay.”

The governor’s office used its Q&A document to address the question of whether the Labor Relations Board could be fair, as its members are

state funding, creating major crises at several of them, and all the other social service groups which make up our safety net being stiffed, forcing the state’s most vulnerable to go without.

And while $510 million seems like a lot of money, the governor’s projected revenue growth from his Turnaround Agenda would only be a 1.4 percent increase over the last state fiscal year.

Hence, “Gov. 1.4 percent.”

And would it even be that much? Rauner has said he would agree to higher state taxes if legislators agree to his Turnaround Agenda. But

gubernatorial appointees.

Rauner’s office said the majority of the board members (three of five) were originally appointed

by Democratic Gov. Pat Quinn. More importantly, Rauner’s staff said, the governor is sending the impasse decision to the body designated in the state’s legally binding agreements with AFSCME.

Interest arbitration revived?

The spectre of impasse, the imposition of terms and a possible work stoppage initiated by either side may rekindle one of the hottest legislative issue of Rauner’s first year: whether an arbitrator should be injected into the mix by the General Assembly.

Last fall’s Senate Bill 1229 would have allowed mandatory arbitration should either the state or AFSCME declared a bargaining impasse Once that binding arbitration began, a strike or lockout would have been prohibited. In the end, a panel of arbitrators would pick from either the state’s or the union’s final offers on economic-interest items, such as pay and benefits.

The GOP painted the bill as an expensive, taxpayer-funded gift to AFSCME and said it would take a tax increase to fund a $1.6 billion or larger raise for some of the country’s best-paid state employees.

Democrats, on the other hand, argued the bill only gave unionized workers a chance at equal footing with Rauner.

An attempt by House Democrats to override Rauner’s veto of the bill fell three votes short in September but, as the administration noted on Friday, the contents of the bill still exist in House Bill 580.

The administration continues to call the concept

as a Republican legislative friend pointed out to me last week, that tax hike will reduce growth, even with all of Rauner’s agenda items.

“The point is that they can’t argue that these anti-labor changes will magically produce $510 million of economic growth/revenue and then discount the negative effect of a tax increase on economic growth,” he wrote me.

True.

OK, but maybe the governor was just a little confused and meant to include state governmental savings in that “billions” remark.

So, let’s go back to the memo.

The governor claims the state would save $1.75 billion by making his demanded changes

bad policy and a union power play.

“A bill to strip the governor of his constitutional authority is as unnecessary now as it was then,” Rauner’s staff wrote in Friday’s documents.

“If AFSCME returns to the General Assembly to once more ask to strip this governor — and only this governor—of his power to negotiate with employees, then it will be as clear a signal as any that AFSCME has been acting in bad faith all along,” the administration said.

State Rep. Mike Smiddy was the House sponsor of SB 1229 and is the lead sponsor of HB 580.

Bringing HB 580 for a vote is “something we’re definitely taking a look at,” he said Friday.

Gov. Rauner “said he would be staying at the bargaining table and negotiating in good faith and the bill was not necessary,” Smiddy said “Well, we’ve come to find out maybe the bill was more necessary than most people first thought, because now we’re here a few months later and impasse is being declared by him and not members of the labor community.”

What’s next?

The governor’s office said it is now up to the Labor Relations Board to determine whether the

administration’s plea belongs before it and, if so, whether a hearing before an administrative law judge is merited.

The process might take months, the administration said, and either party has the right of appeal to the board.

Additionally, AFSCME has indicated it is considering legal action.

The governor’s office said it will comply with the tolling agreement and will accept the ILRB’s directions, including on whether it can implement terms of a final offer. It also said, “There is not now and never has been a plan to lock out state employees.”

The union says it’s not walking away from the negotiating table and that it has “consistently responded to the administration’s demands with fair counter-proposals. We’re committed to continuing to do so, and we don’t want disruption of the public services we provide.”

Should a work stoppage such as a strike occur, essential workers including state prison guards would still be required to report to work under Illinois law.

“His rhetoric during his campaign for governor was about forcing a strike, and today it is clear that he’s been on this path all along.”

-State Rep. Rob Martwick

to union collective bargaining laws. $750 million of that would come from cutting healthcare costs for state employees. The rest isn’t explained.

He also claims that workers’ comp reforms would save the state $65 million a year. So, we’re looking at about $1.8 billion in savings. That’s far more substantial, but so far he’s getting absolutely nowhere because he’s taken such a hardline stance against unions.

To be fair, Rauner’s memo also claims that local governments would save billions more with his reforms, but some of his numbers just don’t add up, like overstating the savings on allowing governments to opt out of prevailing wage requirements on nonfederal projects.

I’m not all opposed to doing some pro-business reforms. I think an easy case can be made that workers’ comp costs are far too high, for example.

But I spent part of an afternoon last week listening to an otherwise tough-minded woman cry helplessly on the phone about the literal implosion of the state’s social service safety net.

And one of the greatest charitable groups in the history of this state, Lutheran Social Services of Illinois, is facing an existential crisis because the government owes it $6 million.

In my opinion, the payoff for continuing this governmental impasse is not worth the price being paid.

Rockford’s American Idol

By Todd Houston Exclusive to TRRT

Editor’s note: Tristan Bushman was the winner of the 2015 Youth Charity Jam of the Rockford Area Music Industry. “I knew he was going places; he’s an excellent musician,” said RAMI Chairman Dan Eisman. ockford Rocked Interview: Hey Tristan! First of all, congratulations on being an American Idol contestant and making it to Hollywood. Take us quickly through the American Idol audition process if you would.

Tristan Bushman: It is quite the process, but they definitely don’t just throw you up there in front of the celebrity judges. There are two-three auditions you have to go through to get to that point. I auditioned over Skype for my first audition, which was in front of executive producers. From there I got the news I made the cut and would be auditioning in San Francisco. So a few weeks later I was in San Francisco auditioning in front of the executive producers in person. I made that cut, and later that day I was auditioning in front of Keith, Jennifer and Harry. It’s definitely a nerve racking day, and you see and feel a lot of emotions, but it’s an experience I’ll remember for the rest of my life!

RRI: On television you see hundreds of people waiting in line for the open call auditions. I wonder how many of them actually make it through the door.

TB: Yeah, like I said, my first audition was on Skype, so I kind of got to skip the open call. I have tried out in an open call setting before and it is insane, I would estimate 200-300 people were in San Francisco the day I tried out. There had been quite a few cuts by that point too, it just goes to show that there is so much talent all over the world that people have never heard.

One of my favorite parts of auditioning is meeting new people and making connections. I will keep in touch with many of these people long after the Idol experience is over.

RRI: Okay, so eventually you were picked to go to Hollywood for an audition in front of Jennifer Lopez, Keith Urban and Harry Connick, Jr., were you nervous at all?

TB: I auditioned in front of J. Lo, Keith, and Harry in San Fran the first time, and that is where I got the golden ticket! I was definitely nervous but it was such a long day, I was just ready to go in there and do it. Once I started singing I just got in my zone and started feeling

my song. You have to try and forget that you are performing for three of the biggest stars in the industry; just go in and do your thing.

RRI: Were you able to do any sightseeing in your audition travels or wasn’t there enough time for that?

TB: Yes, I definitely got to do some sightseeing. My family was with me in San Francisco, so it was really nice to go out and see the sights with them. I had been to Los Angeles in 2013 for an audition for a different show, but didn’t get to leave the hotel. So to get to actually go out and explore was awesome.

RRI: How old were you when you first realized you could sing?

TB: Music was always around my house, so I picked up on singing pretty quick. I would say around the age of 5 I started performing with my dad’s band The Louie’s and singing in front of people. I actually released a CD when I was 6 of me singing Avril Lavigne’s Complicated. Obviously my voice has changed a little bit since then, so it is fun to listen to that CD and get a few laughs.

RRI: You live in Ashton just south of us here in Rockford. Are you involved in a band? Tell us what you do for fun.

TB: I jam with a few local musicians every so

“You have to try and forget that you are performing for three of the biggest stars in the industry; just go in and do your thing.”

often, and I love to do that stuff. It just doesn’t make much sense for me right now to play in a band.

With school and everything, it is easier for me just to practice whenever I have time without coordinating with anyone else. I have also just always appreciated the art of playing a song, with just a guitar and my voice. That’s how it started, when the song was written, and that’s how it gets performed.

RRI: You’re a Freshman at Sauk Valley College. Are you sort of a big deal on campus now?

TB: The first week back I had quite a few people coming up and congratulating me, which was really cool. It’s nice to know my fellow classmates have heard about it, and hopefully I will see them at some of my shows in the future.

RRI: Who is your favorite musical artist or band of all time?

TB: This is definitely the hardest question. I would have to go with Ed Sheeran, especially right now. He is just incredible; to see a singer/songwriter be able to do what he is doing is great.

RRI: Favorite fast food?

TB: I’ve got to go with Jimmy Johns.

RRI: Favorite past Idol contestant?

TB: Phillip Phillips, he is an artist I can kind of compare myself too. I am a big fan of his music.

RRI: When will we be able to see you on television or is that still up in the air?

TB: That is still up in the air. They don’t tell us ahead of time if we will be shown, so I am watching and hoping to be shown just like the rest of you! I guess we will find out as the season continues. Keep tuning in Wednesdays and Thursdays at 7 p.m. on FOX.

Embracing the RPS All City Art Show

By Anne E. O’Keefe Rockford Area Arts Council

R

ockford Public Schools’ All City Art Show will be up through Saturday, check venue for hours.

Venues this year include Ascension Art Studio, 323 W. Jefferson; CNVR/Conveyer, 317 W. Jefferson; Octane Interlounge, 124 N. Main; and Kortman Gallery at J.R. Kortman Center for Design, 107 N. Main. The show is organized by RPS 205 art teachers from Auburn, East, Guilford, Jefferson, Roosevelt, and Wilson Aspire. Some work will then go on to regional and state shows, including Rockford Art Museum’s juried Young Artist Show. Additional support for the show comes from Bonnie Spurling, Fine Arts Director and Emily Tropp, Project Coordinator of RPS. The show was started in 2006 by LuAnn Widergren, then the Fine Arts Coordinator, with the help of local artist Lisa Frost. Each school selects their “best of the best” work to showcase.

Because there are four venues this year, more students work can be shown.

“We are proud to prepare and show off what is happening in our classrooms with the communi-

ty and even more excited about partnering with downtown businesses and arts advocates who work with us to exhibit our talented and hardworking young artists. The students are excited to see their work in new spaces, art galleries and venues that specifically focus on featuring artists and creative work,” said Lynn Stockton, Jefferson Art Teacher and BAMIT Academy Leader.

Stockton went on to say that every school was invited to exhibit 20 plus works at each site, 10 at Kortman’s due to work being 3-D work and the venue size. There is a total of 350 pieces in the show.

Doc Slafkosky and Jerry Kortman are happy to open up their gallery space.

“This a great opportunity for students to show their creative works in an actual gallery environ-

ment where it can be seen by the general public, who may not usually attend school events. It’s so important for our city to recognize and encourage the creative spirit in our young people, since creativity, imagination and vision are key elements in transforming Rockford.”

This is the second year Pablo Korona has opened CNVR (Conveyer) for the show.

“Expression, specifically through art, is the most important thing these young people can do to help define themselves – I want to support people finding their voice in any way I can. Art is the greatest resource we should be investing in, and showcasing these young people finding their voice through expression is my way of doing that.”

“Octane has always believed in supporting the arts. When we were asked to do this a number years ago we said yes immediately. Octane saw an opportunity to help the students get exposure to their wonderful artwork that they normally wouldn’t have. It’s great to see the excitement on the students’ faces when they see all of the different people coming to admire the work,” said Dan Minnick.

The work comes down on Sunday so see it today.

January 22, 1973 is the date when women’s reproductive rights were recognized by the Supreme Court.

This is the 43rd year of the struggle to preserve reproductive choice.

That right is still under threat.

Tube Talk

A most X-citing return to TV

By Paula Hendrickson Television Columnist

L

ike many TV viewers in the ’90s, I never missed an episode of The X-Files. I even set the VCR when I was home just so I could watch each episode again. I even stuck with the show towards the end of its original nine-season run, when Mulder was mostly absent and Scully was working with far less interesting agents. You know, about two years after it should have ended.

Three feature films were made: one while the show was still going strong, and two after the show wrapped 2002. (I saw one of the films, but couldn’t tell you which one.) The most recent was released in 2008.

While The X-Files is often referred to as a “cult classic,” it was – and continues to be – one of those rare series that shaped the future of television. It frequently makes critics’ lists of best television series of all time, and any channel lucky enough to possess syndication rights can garner strong ratings with an X-Files marathon.

It did this by engaging fans with a richly detailed mythology that played off the hopes, insecurities, and fears of its time.

Fast-forward to 2016 and the stakes are even higher. While many fears remain the same, the

immediacy of social media fuels conspiracy theories faster than ever, making it an ideal time for showrunner Chris Carter to drag a jaded Mulder (David Duchovny) out of the woodwork to question the veracity of supposed alien abductions. And what’s Mulder without Scully (Gillian Anderson)?

Like all X-Files fans, I’m eager to see where Mulder and Scully are at this point in their separate lives. (No spoilers in saying the pair is not together at the start of the new season.) Duchovny and Anderson have both stayed busy with projects well outside the sci-fi genre, but the six-episode season

lured them back to their iconic roles.

FBI Assistant Director Skinner (Mitch Pileggi) is also back for the series revival, even the presumed dead Cigarette Smoking Man (William B. Davis) and the actually dead Lone Gunmen (Bruce Harwood, Tom Braidwood, and Dean Haglund) are supposed to make appearances. Of sorts.

Additions to the cast include Joel McHale (Community, The Soup) as TV host Tad O’Malley, Lauren Ambrose (Six Feet Under) as an FBI agent, and The Americans’ Annet Mahendru as an abductee.

The six new episodes were written by series creator Carter and three of the original series’ prolific writers, Darrin Morgan, Glen Morgan and James Wong. The first and sixth episodes promise to address the series’ mythology while the other four episodes will be more stand-alone “monster of the week” episodes. That means even people who aren’t familiar with – or have forgotten – the mythology can enjoy the latest incarnation of The X-Files.

After such a lengthy break, cast and producers are coming to the franchise with renewed energy, which will no doubt be reflected on screen.

Like most X-Files fans, I’m more than ready for some classic Mulder and Scully scenes, be it discussing a case while Scully’s performing an autopsy or another spooky flashlights-in-thedark scene.

Programming Notes

The X-Files two-night season premiere begins Sunday on FOX following the NFC Championship Game (roughly 9 p.m., but be sure to add plenty of extra time if you’re recording it since football games can run long), and continues Monday at 7 p.m. Subsequent episodes will air Mondays at 7 p.m.

Hateful Eight brilliant if a bit long

By Thomas Simpson Contributor

T

he Hateful Eight sees Quentin Tarantino return to the Western genre three years after Django Unchained. There are subtle references to his previous film (and even subtler ones to his older films), the director was quick to clarify that this wouldn’t be a sequel to Django although it appears it would exist in his shared universe.

Known for his excessive violence and gratuitous language, the trademark Tarantinoisms are evident in The Hateful Eight, this is also a character study that lives up to its title. It’s difficult to find any sympathy lurking in the main characters.

When eight strangers seek refuge from a blizzard at a stagecoach lodge, tensions begin to rise with trust nowhere to be found. The histories of each one is slowly revealed proving them to be more loathsome with every

revelation. These people are racist, conniving, left on the cutting room floor. manipulative, greedy, sadistic killers and It’s also difficult to defend the repetitive racial they’re confined with nothing much to do. and misogynistic slurs. Not because they’re It has shades of Reservoir Dogs but around likely to cause offense, it’s that they swiftly lose the mid-way point there’s a shift in the plot all meaning. With previous films I’ve agreed that makes this with the writer/ ‘Despite a dull first act sprinkled a Western whodirector that that’s dunit that is sure with self-indulgence throughout, The how the characters to give you a jolt Hateful Eight is a brilliant film even if talk, here it feels if you feared that lazy with the abuse takes a long time to realize it.’ after an hour and losing impact, for half that this was going nowhere. the right reasons, quickly.

The Hateful Eight is long and it feels it.

The script may be questionable though there Tarantino is able to write some amazing diais no denying the beauty of the filmmaking. logue however the script takes a while to get Teaming up with regular cinematographer Robgoing and unfortunately it takes until the third ert Richardson, each shot is wonderfully framed chapter (of which there are six) before we get with the lodge made to feel like a boiling pot just to the lodge. There are important elements in waiting to explode at any given time. Paired with those first two chapters that are pivotal to the Ennio Morricone’s jarring score, it’s uncomfortplot, yet much of those scenes could’ve been able viewing, for the right reasons.

Tarantino can elicit special performances from his cast and that’s no different here.

Everyone is on form with Walton Goggins and Jennifer Jason Leigh in particular scene stealing roles. Everyone hams it up a little to emphasize just how abhorrent they are. This does make it difficult to root for anyone and by the third act you realize it’s about siding with the lesser of evils, although that in itself is disputable.

Despite a dull first act sprinkled with self-indulgence throughout, The Hateful Eight is a brilliant film even if takes a long time to realize it. It has enough positives to outweigh its flaws. There isn’t much wrong with it except the negatives are glaring and at times monotonous. It’ll be interesting to see where Tarantino goes from here but it’s probably best he leaves the Wild West behind for his next project.

Trade agreements hold democracy hostage

By Nancy Churchill Contributor

D

id you ever dream that profit could eclipse the right to life in America?

That a secret clause known as the ISDS (Investor-to-State Dispute Settlement), buried deep within so-called “free trade” agreements such as NAFTA (North American Free Trade Agreement), creates a foreign corporation power to overrule enforcement of U.S. laws such as the COOL (Country of Origin Labeling) Act, which allows you to know where your meat comes from? Because the ISDS grants foreign corporations the right to sue if they believe U.S. laws protecting our right to life will cost them future profits.

Salon.com (1/8/2016) referred to the ISDS as “a dystopian world in which secretive and

By Gregory John Campbell Guest Contributor

orporate America, through shortterm profiteering, merger, inversion, outsourcing, offshoring, part-time work, robotics, right-to-work laws and free trade agreements, has conspired with Washington to create “labor-free capitalism,” whose sole purpose is to eliminate national employment, investment in infrastructure and education and dissolve the social contract, so they can solidify the “Have vs. Have-not” feudal state both have sought for this nation since its founding.

In this regard, corporate America has no interest in the long-term economic health of our nation or any national allegiance to it, because the zero-sum outcome of corporate America is broad work-place eugenics and cultural genocide, so the Morlock elite can exploit the Eloi sheep till they’re dead and gone.

Nancy Churchill is correct, for as David Korten writes in his book, When Corporations Rule The World, the labor-free capitalism—“corporate libertarianism”—corporate America

corrupt corporate courts circumvent the justice system and unaccountable private companies have more power than governments, holding democracy hostage.”

The AFL-CIO defines it as “a special legal right that only those who invest in a foreign country can use to challenge a law, regulation, judicial or administrative ruling or any other government decision.”

Such a law allows foreign corporations to “skip domestic courts, administrative procedures, city hall hearings and the like … and sue the host-country government before a panel of private ‘arbitrators.’”

These arbitrators “have the power to make decisions in cases, but they are not democratically elected or appointed, and they are not subject to stringent conflict of interest rules.” Nor need they even be citizens of the country being sued.

As if to spotlight how dystopian is the threat

buried within these trans-national trade deals, Trans-Canada recently announced a suit under NAFTA against our government for $15 billion for “lost profit” because intense public pressure had forced President Obama to reject its Keystone XL pipeline.

That illustrates perfectly how uniquely anti-democratic and un-American these trade deals are.

Proponents tout the creation of new jobs for Americans within the latest trade deal, the TPP (Trans-Pacific Partnership), an argument debunked by huge manufacturing job losses since the passage of NAFTA in 1993.

A petition site is calling for Congress to reject the TPP [thepetitionsite.com/461/019/960/congress-stand-up-to-corporate-power-vote-no-onthe-tpp]. It points out that if the U.S. government loses this Trans-Canada case, “either the [Key-

Labor-free capitalism

engages, is structuring a “suicide economy” in our nation, because corporate America will not stop its labor-free lust for money, power and control until our nation and world are ruined.

Consequently, Mr. Korten’s book should’ve been titled, When Sociopaths Rule The World.

Some think these words cynical, but they’re not, because a cynic is an agnostic coward that believes nothing can be done to change the status quo, remaining morally uncommitted to anything and useless as a citizen in being so.

This citizen is committed to moral Truth, conservation and accountable freedom, because he lives for more than appetite, money or power, which if unchecked lead to indulgence, nihilism and self-destruction. This is because America must remain moral and democratic before being political or economic, because politics and economics have no responsible purpose or direction without morality. Religion cannot accomplish this, however, because America was founded as a nation, not as a religion; as a democracy, not a theocracy, nor as a stratocracy. This is why the wall of separation

First Amendment Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

between the church and military from the state is essential.

As moral democrats then, Americans should read Mr. Korten’s book, Howard Zinn’s, A Peoples History Of The United States, Nicholas Carr’s, The Shallows, and Martin Ford’s, The Rise Of The Robots to gain the moral depth, historical perspective and political understanding to confront our national tragedy, because knowledge is power; and because the corporations and Washington can’t have the American people knowing they’re just slave-ship commanders masquerading as cruise-ship directors before them, with Arbeit Macht Frei engraved on their masthead.

Reading these books will inform them of this, but if Americans won’t, they’ll engage the Digital Cage becoming vacant and numb, exactly what the corporations and Washington need them to do: “screen” compulsively, not think or act critically.

Hillary and Jeb support corporate America, war and Washington. Donald ridicules Washington but will endorse war and bow to corporate America. Ted and Marco ridicule

stone XL Pipeline] goes ahead or we hand over a whole lot of taxpayer dollars.” But that will be only peanuts compared to the loss of sovereignty we face under the TPP. The door is closing fast for public comment before the final Congressional vote on the TPP, just while the nation is most distracted with the presidential primary season. Don’t be deterred. It is up to us to save our democracy — nobody is going to do it for us. Call or write your Congressperson and Senators, and sign the petition now, urging them to “Just say NO!” to the TPP. We desperately need a new trade model based upon our right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness — an alternative to the current dystopian template of secret pacts that favor the potential for corporate profits to prevail over laws protecting our land, air and water.

corporate America and Washington, but will endorse war, serving corporate America and Washington. All are doubtful public servants, because none of them will do what Bernie Sanders could for our nation.

Bernie will reinstate Glass-Steagall, implement single payer health insurance, expand education, end worthless war, reduce defense spending and enact programs to expand infrastructure investment, development and employment. Corporate Washington will never endorse these, which is why the American people must “elect” themselves in 2016, not establishment Washington, to reinstate our founding principles.

Therefore America, don’t choose between the “greater of two evils” in 2016. Choose a greater good. Vote for Bernie during the primary and in November. Don’t let partisan politics, business, religion or culture undermine our moral unity as “a” people, nor our representative democracy as “a” nation. Choose what you want “our” country to be, before corporate Washington eradicates it completely.

Fulfilling Dr. Martin Luther King’s deam

ifty years ago, Martin Luther King Jr. wrote “Why We Can’t Wait” to dispel the notion that African Americans should be content to proceed on an incremental course toward full equality under the law and in the wider society. King observed, Three hundred years of humiliation, abuse, and deprivation cannot be expected to find voice in a whisper.

Yet waiting and whispering, rather than raising their voices for genuine inclusion, is what many seem to expect of the children and grandchildren of King’s generation even today.

At stake is the perceived legitimacy of American institutions, not just educational but those that we educate for: the police, the courts, government, the media, cultural institutions, banks and so on. These institutions are under scrutiny over their failure to evoke trust and to show that they are visibly open to the public – especially those groups, who too often and for too long have been left out.

Arguably, we are not the “land of opportunity” for most first-generation, poor, black, brown, Native American, or immigrant children. Gaps in educational achievement persist, and at every level: from kindergarten through to the years after high school.

The label applied to so many immigrant youth, Dreamers, might well be adopted more broadly, capturing as it does both the aspiration and perhaps the unreality of educational opportunity for so many.

And the students are right to worry.

The question is: what role can our universities play so the dividing lines can be crossed?

‘Baked-in’ privilege

Consider some statistics from Essex County, New Jersey, where our city, Newark, a college town with over 50,000 students, is located: 47.54 percent of black third graders attend schools that perform at the bottom 10 percent of schools in the state compared to 0.04 percent of white third graders.

About 4,000 high school students in the Newark Public Schools are “missing” during the school day, not in their seats; often labeled as “disconnected youth,” it would be better to consider them as youth connected to a pathway to prison Another 3,000 are off-course from graduating.

Only 36 percent of Newark residents have finished high school and only 17 percent hold any kind of post-secondary degree.

This story is not unique to Newark.

Economists such as Raj Chetty and his colleagues note that nationally “the consequences of the ‘birth lottery’ – the parents to whom a child is born – are larger today than in the past.”

We – the universities – are the ones sitting in the midst of these realities, facing the choice between being walled citadels that separate the

privileged from the uninvited other or being welcoming hubs connecting young individuals with opportunity.

Universities’ have a responsibility

The uncomfortable truth is, that we, in some very real sense, have contributed to this winnowing of opportunity.

For too long, the traditional measures of student potential have relied on standardized – and therefore narrowly framed – merit selection processes, such as SAT and ACT scores.

These tests have been grossly inadequate, measuring only a narrow band of potential, while missing wide swaths of our talent pool whose excellence is not readily detected through the use of such “blunt” instruments.

They neglect whole communities whose students don’t have access to the test preparation industry, prompting legal theorist Lani Guinier to implore us to redefine the merit in meritocracy.

Intergenerational privilege is rooted in place – in the home values and tax base, the schools and transportation networks available to people because of where they are fortunate to live. Decades of white flight, suburbanization, the abandonment of urban centers and regressive housing policies have contributed to a pervasive disconnection across racial, ethnic and class lines.

This segregation has reinforced the corrosive effects of historical prejudice and biases that already divide society and make Americans, in effect, strangers to each other.

It should come as no surprise, then, that the social landscapes of university communities are just as divided.

Crossing boundaries

Diversity is growing explosively and redefining American society before our eyes.

Yet lines of class, gender, ethnicity and race continue to redraw themselves in dorm life, lunch tables and indeed the classroom.

Indeed, it is hard to erase them.

How do you cultivate connection to another

person’s future and commitment to their success when you don’t live together in the same neighborhood, reside near each other in the same city or at least share some similar daily experiences such as rush hour on a crowded subway?

As higher educational institutions, we should be the place where dividing lines can be crossed.

And that includes crossing the boundaries of our communities.

Our work in the city of Newark is just one illustration of crossing these boundaries.

Newark’s story

In this postindustrial city of 280,000 people, 29 percent of residents have incomes below the poverty line.

Newark’s social and economic challenges are common among cities that have lost their tax base and whose residents have fled to the suburbs since the 1960s. The resulting economic and racial segregation has produced structural inequalities in health, education and other public services.

Today, Newark, a proud, resilient city, is coming back from years of disinvestment. As an engaged “anchor institution”, we are partnering with the community on many fronts.

We are investing in spaces for local artists and the community to collaborate, as we develop nearly 50,000 square feet in the iconic former Hahne & Company department story as an arts “collaboratory” – dubbed “Express Newark.”

We are working with small and midsized entrepreneurs and firms and taking an active role in helping Newark’s police address crime hotspots through data collection and analysis.

Organizations – public and private – have banded together in the Newark City of Learning Collaborative (NCLC) to raise the post-secondary attainment rate of residents of Newark to 25 percent by 2025.

For the higher education partners in NCLC like us, this means working with Newark Public Schools to help their students continue their education past high school, beginning in community colleges, the institutions where the vast majority of first generation students will have their first taste of higher education.

At Rutgers University – Newark, for example, is providing tuition support to low-income residents of Newark and to any New Jersey community college transfer with an associate degree as of fall 2016.

We are recruiting these students based on assessments of leadership, grit and entrepreneurial skills – not just grades – into a residential Honors Living Learning Community (HLLC). In addition to gleaning information about applicants from the standard application form, the HLLC team engages with applicants in person and in groups to see how they collaborate with one another to solve problems.

Their on-the-ground knowledge of urban life has much to contribute, as we see it, to the HLLC’s curriculum focus of “local citizenship in a global world.”

Ashlee is one of the inaugural class. Born and raised in Newark, she speaks openly of “being a product of my environment…exposed to so much just by walking outside of my house… [including] murder at the age of 12.” Her options, she says, were two: “conform to what’s going on in society or try to make a difference.” She is now a criminal justice major keenly interested in issues of social equality and inequality.

Academic ‘farm teams’

Rutgers-Newark is not alone in looking to build on the assets of this fresh talent pool for America.

There is an increasing number of so-called collective impact initiatives across the higher education landscape, including STRIVE, a nonprofit started in Cincinnati, and three large city-wide initiatives in Syracuse, Buffalo and Guilford County, North Carolina mounted by Say Yes to Education.

Collective impact projects like these can be taxing and messy, but by bringing so many different partners together – from education institutions to businesses and faith-based centers – to focus on enabling the talented next generation to thrive from school to college and beyond, we put a stake in the ground together for social justice. It’s admittedly still one step at a time, but one step in many places.

When higher education bands together to support and recruit talent from these regional hubs, it gives a new meaning to the notion of “farm teams.”. After all, if major league baseball can do it, why can’t higher education?

The impatient students protesting a sense of exclusion today have undeniable facts to support their argument. Our institutions, we believe, can help them overcome the barriers they, and others, face in their search for economic opportunity and a sense that they are valued.

How could anyone continue to “wait and whisper” while witnessing the enormous and cumulative effect of disparity unfold for another generation, with so many children never even getting to first base and some starting out on third?

Your Horoscope

By Denise Guzzardo Week of Jan. 20-26, 2016

This Week: A reminder that Jenniffer Weigel and Thomas John the Manhattan Medium will be appearing January 28 in Rockford at the Mendelssohn Club from 7-9 p.m. I found him to be one of the most authentic talents in my field I have ever had the opportunity to experience. Tickets are available at mendelssohnpac.org. The full moon in Leo January 24 inspires new ideas and opportunities to evolve. However; with Mercury going direct January 25 the weekend could be a little bit reckless. We need to keep our eyes on the road as well as prepare ourselves for unexpected delays. When Mercury goes direct it can be just as loud and tough as when it goes into retrograde. We are moving from rough to smooth water now, just hang on to the side of the boat a little bit longer. Sixty-two more days until spring my friends.

Aries (March 21 to April 19) — A fabulous promotion or business opportunity is arriving during this lunar cycle. Put your best foot forward and emphasize your strengths. You have a wealth of knowledge as well as the passion to see this through.

Do not doubt yourself. Get plenty of rest and make sure you’re hydrating your body. Midweek provides the turn of events you’ve been longing for. Romance is shifting for the better by week’s end, Aries.

Taurus (April 20 to May 20)­— Don’t drop the ball with your romantic partner, you may need to put a little more effort into this collaboration. You may be overlooking someone that has been very prominent in your life. Love finds its way when the timing of things are in perfect order, this is becoming the time frame when things are very clear. Open your heart to opportunities presented now, Taurus.

Gemini (May 21 to June 20) — Romantic aspects seem to align as long as you’re able to speak from the heart. If you have been pining over someone that continues to haunt your emotional state of mind maybe it’s time to contact them and get to the bottom of it all. However; you need to be the one to make the effort. They cannot do this on their own. Trust issues are key here, and trust needs to be rebuilt, Gemini.

Cancer (June 21 to July 22) — Finances may be a little tight at the beginning of the week, but as this week unfolds you will see the pressure release as well as see the light at the end of the tunnel. You may have your eye on a specific item that you have been considering purchasing for quite some time now. You will see that this will become a reality as summer approaches. We must always remember to pay ourselves for our hard work and effort, the rest always falls into place, Cancer.

Leo (July 23 to Aug. 22) — It may seem as though the universe is purposefully testing your patience. Timing is everything and the perfect fit will arrive in the month of March that promises to improve the quality of your life. Friends and loved ones are only trying to help and don’t really mean to interfere with your progress. Those around you are concerned with your overall health and emotional

wellness. Listen closely to the observations of others they may be dead on, Leo. Virgo (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) — You are about to experience a huge breakthrough with a large client or a possible employment option. Keep your eyes and ears open now. Positive influences behind the scenes are creating major turning point in the weeks to come. This will also open doors for new social connections as well. Those of like mind want to get to know you better, Virgo.

Libra (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) — Try not to second guess your choices this week. You are in a position to get the help you need with your mind, body and spirit. You will become more consciously aware of how you have sabotaged yourself in the past and now you’re arriving in a brand new time frame.

Friends and loved ones offer support, take time out to socialize. You will learn new things about yourself as well as those around you, Libra.

Scorpio (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) — You are defiantly questioning the actions of those around you lately and for good reason. Too many unresolved issues have been on the table lately, and they are all getting cold. You may be put in a place where you have to evaluate your role in this mess as well. If you are unable to do this, nothing will heal. Embrace the change that is presented to you. Scorpio.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) — You’re about to give birth to a tremendous creative endeavor that will improve the quality of your life for years to come. Try not to be afraid of this transition, embrace it instead. The powers that be are willing to promote

you and hold you in high regard with your expertise in this particular endeavor. You may find yourself extremely emotional by week’s end. I suspect tears of joy as opposed to tears of sorrow, Sag. Capricorn (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) — Time to clear the air with someone that you have been avoiding for quite some time now. The more you avoid this the more complicated this becomes. The more outside influences get involved, the more nonsense it creates. Do not attempt this on the weekend of January 24. Before or after that time frame you’ll get the results you need. You may be pleasantly surprised to find the outcome is much more productive than you imagined it could be, Capricorn.

Aquarius (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) — Now may be the time to make that major purchase you’ve been considering for quite some time now. You can trust that your finances will hold out strong over the next year. If you have activated a savings plan recently you can feel confident enough to put a little bit more into your investments without feeling pinched. An unexpected surprise midweek leaves you feeling extremely loved and cherished, Aquarius.

Pisces (Feb. 19 to March 20) — It’s time to make a decision regarding your home or personal life.

What you thought might be a perfect solution may not be what the doctor ordered after all. Slowly but surely you develop a game plan. Be confident; after that, there is no looking back. By week’s end the perfect solution for an unresolved issue arrives, Pisces.

By Julia Michniewicz, N.D. January 2016, I celebrated 2 milestones. 34 years of being in business and 16 years cancer free by doing alternative treatments. I have been blessed to be able to work with some renowned medical doctors who have help me with my health alternatively and blessed to work under them while shadow them in their day to day practice.

I saw on ABC News that 1/3 of cancer deaths may be avoided. I truly believe this for I have always believed that our diet and our lifestyle has everything to do with how healthy our immune system is. ABC stated that if people avoided major risk factors for cancer more than a third of the 7 million cancer deaths each year could be prevented. In a report in the Lancet medical journal, the researchers estimated how many deaths from 12 types of cancer were caused by exposure to nine risk factors. They calculated what we personally could control smoking, alcohol, obesity, poor diet, unsafe sex and lack of exercise contributed to 2.43 million cancer deaths worldwide. A third of cancer deaths could have been avoided had those above risks had been reduced.

(1). Dr. Ezzati of Harvard School of Public Health stated prevention is probably still our best bet for reducing cancer deaths. It is by far larger than what we may be able to achieve using medicine.

In many cancers, known lifestyle risk factors such as diet and hormone exposure are the key factors. My breast cancer was estrogen feed and that is why in my office I educate clients on eating good hormonal free meats, grass feed butter, buy as much organic as possible but gardening, farmers

markets or co-ops are best for fruits and vegetables. Know where your food is coming. I know where my meat, chickens, eggs, veggies and fruit comes from. I personally do not eat soy for soy is a phytoestrogen. I of all people cannot afford to have more estrogen in my body when my cancer was estrogen related. Go back to the basics and cook at home for all foods are high in sugars, salts, saturated fats, chemicals and soy. Look at the ingredients of packaged foods. There are so many different forms of sugars, chemicals and antibiotics just for that “food” to have a shelf life. Fruits and vegetables are high in antioxidants and Epidemiological studies show that a high intake of antioxidant rich foods lowers cancer.

My protocol for all autoimmune disease is what I do for myself. I take a supplement to pull excess estrogen out of my body. I take a supplement that inhibits the vascular endothelial growth factor receptor by cutting off nutrient and blood supply to the tumor.

I take a supplement that repairs and protects DNA –damaged cells. This is my protocol and this is just one type of protocol that I use again for autoimmune disease.

Along with diet and supplements there is colon hydro-therapy and detoxes. You have to help your liver, your kidneys, your colon remove the toxins that have been in your body for years and you need to get your gut healthy and happy.

Julia Michniewicz is a Naturopathic Doctor who specializes in colon hydrotherapy and detoxes. If she can help you or a loved one with an auto-immune issue please call her office at 815-962-3326.

Controlling the smaller insect pests

By Grant McCarty Local Foods and Small Farms Educator, University of Illinois Extension

Continuing our insect pest focus, aphids and mites are very minute insects that can cause major problems in the garden overtime. While their damage doesn’t appear to be excessive, their sheer numbers can lead to problems. One of the major concerns with these insects is that their damage may expose the plant to diseases if not controlled.

Aphids attack a wide range of vegetables, fruits, and ornamentals. They are normally found on the young leaves of a plant where they target the sap. By removing this sap, it will lead to stunted growth of the plant. Aphids produce a honeydew type substance as they are feeding.

This substance can lead to “sooty mold” on the plant leaf tissue, blocking out any photosynthesis from occurring. The honeydew may also attract other pests to your garden.

To control aphids, you may let biological control occur. While aphids are feeding and producing this honeydew, it can attract insect predators to your plants that will control the aphids. Depending on how heavy the infestation

of aphids you have is and the age of the plant, you might be able to prune and remove leaves/ stems without causing serious damage. There are pesticides available if aphid populations have become out of control.

Mites are similar size as aphids. The most common one gardeners deal with is the spider mite. It damages plant cells by removing cell contents from leaf tissue. In turn, the leaf tissue appears yellow/bronze in color and will drop off. Because they are related to spiders, you may see populations create a web with the plants they are attacking.

Spider mites are notorious for being linked to hot, dry weather in which case they will be populate quickly. Control for mites is to keep plants healthy with proper nutrition and water as damage is increased when plants are under watered. If populations are large enough, you can spray water on the undersides of leaves to remove mite populations.

Affordable Senior Apartments Like aphids, insect predators like lady bug beetles can control mites. If you’ve done all that you can with cultural and biological controls, there are some chemical controls on the market.

There for you even after the ink has dried.

have been attending the Chicago Auto Show for years. Mostly one day trips, but more recently with press credentials as Mr. Green Car I get the privilege of attending conferences, hearing industry keynote speakers and inspecting the cars on more or less deserted floors. I have been reporting back to my readers things I find interesting and environmentally related at the show.

The Chicago Auto Show has been going on for 115 years and is the largest auto show in the nation. It fills two absolutely huge halls in Chicago’s McCormick Place convention center (over 1 million square feet). Acres and acres of carpet covered with everything automotive – from RVs to racecars.

Nobody is left out. Looking for a simple family sedan or an exotic sports car – they are all there. And you can get in most and check them out. There are usually even some displays where you can drive the vehicles a little – indoors. No going out in the cold. In fact, the whole thing is a nice warm getaway once inside.

Check your coat – you won’t need it. Over a million people of every age and walk of life attend the show over the nine days it is open to the public.

While the manufacturers introduce new and updated models that are often quite interesting, some of the most attention lands on concept car introductions. These vary from the absolutely wild to those you really find sleek and attractive and hope go into production.

The manufacturers are watching you to gauge the public’s reaction to these design proposals. They often include the opportunity for you to interact with them via social media as well to make comments and suggestions.

With enough positive feedback about a design, they may decide to move forward and spend millions of dollars in bringing the concept to the market. This alone makes it worth your trip to the show.

The show starts with a “First Look for Charity” on Friday February 12, so if you want a less crowded floor to explore and enjoy some other perks during this black tie event from 7-11 p.m., including a chance on winning a new car, pony up for the $250 tickets to help $2 million

go to 18 Chicago area organizations. Not that well heeled? No fear, general admission is a reasonable $12 for adults; $7 for seniors 62+; $7 for children and those 6 years old and under are free.

Parking is usually in the $20-$30 range, so a car full going in spreads that cost a bit. Don’t like Chicago traffic? It is possible to get there via public transportation. Visit their website ChicagoAutoShow.com for these and other details on how to get there. Open to the public February 13-21.

Unless you attend for more than one day, it is difficult to see it all. I have two days to roam around and I don’t see it all. I often skip the areas where there are vendors and car clubs, but you should not. There are interesting displays there, as well as food at the Tailgate Cafe (behind the Toyota test track this year).

When you arrive – study the map of the halls and decide what you want to see most.

You’ll see plenty more on your way there. It is a family friendly event – long gone are the days of attractive models in skimpy bathing suits to draw your attention. There are still models and attractive women promoting the cars – just dressed more modestly.

There are always representatives or displays around to answer your questions.

But you won’t be pressured to buy a car.

Nonetheless, all area dealers see a spike in sales following the auto show.

There are few things on such a grand scale that are open to the public at such a reasonable cost. And why I’d like you to go is to hunt down the new electric and plug-in electric cars and hybrids. There are many.

I look forward to seeing the new 200-plus mile range Chevy Bolt EV. You may be more interested in the new plug-in Chrysler Pacifica with 30 miles of electric range – making it the first plug-in minivan for sale in the U.S. This is mostly what I do.

I hunt for these new models. Vehicles that don’t usually make it to Rockford for a while.

But your interest in them is being watched and that in turn will bring more of these vehicles to us. If nothing else, you and your family and friends will have a great time exploring the halls of the Chicago Auto Show – you don’t even have to care about cars to have a good time – it is a spectacle to behold.

WE’RE SLICING

SC lawmaker calls for journalist licensing

By Ian Millhiser ThinkProgress.org

T

he “South Carolina Responsible Journalism Registry Law”, which state Rep. Michael Pitts (R) introduced on Tuesday, would “establish requirements for persons before working as a journalist for a media outlet and for media outlets before hiring a journalist,” while simultaneously mandating “the establishment and operation of a responsible journalism registry by the South Carolina Secretary of State’s office,” according to the bill’s official summary.

Violations will be punished with “fines and criminal penalties.”

Although the full text of the bill is not yet available, Pitts described his bill to the Post and Courier as a deliberate effort to troll supporters of gun safety regulation. Pitts says his bill is modeled after a “concealed weapons permitting law.”

He added that it “strikes me as ironic” that reporters questioned the constitutionality of the press registry bill when members of the press have “no problem demonizing firearms.”

In case there’s any doubt, there is no consti-

tutional comparison between a law requiring a permit to carry a concealed weapon and a law imposing criminal sanctions on reporters who fail to comport with the state’s definition of “responsible journalism.”

Reporters provide information about campaigns and policy development — what the Supreme Court deems “core political speech” — that enjoys the highest level of constitutional protection. By contrast, even the most conservative members of the Supreme Court acknowledge that, even in early American history, courts typically upheld outright prohibitions on concealed weapons.

Indeed, Justice Antonin Scalia’s opinion in District of Columbia v. Heller specifically listed “prohibitions on carrying concealed weapons” as a kind of law that would be permitted under the Second Amendment.

Also, guns are machines that exist primarily to inflict injury or death with a fast-moving projectile.

Sen. looks for $60 for vets’ home

Illinois News Network A state Senator hopes to free up $60 million to finish a veterans home in northwest Chicago but the governor’s office says the sponsor should work to get a balanced budget instead of money for just one project.

Rosemont Democratic Senator John Mulroe says his bill, Senate Bill 2225, would free up money that’s already been approved but no appropriated.

“I’ve started construction and this budget mess is preventing it from going forward. I hope this bill will prompt others to at least focuse attention on the needs of our veterans and free up money so the project continues.”

Governor says Mulroe should urge others for balanced budget instead of one project Mulroe says when finished the project would have 200 beds for veterans, with 30 of them set aside for veterans with dementia and Alzheimer’s.

Ensuring veterans have a place to live later in life is one of Mulroe’s goals.

“There’s a retirement home across the street. I went there over Christmas and the residents are pretty upset that it is empty… I also want to deter any criminal activity from taking place in the vacant building now too.”

Governor Rauner’s office says funding for the veteran’s home was included in the governor’s in-

troduced budget but not in the budget Democrats passed, which was later vetoed.

Mulroe said he believes the project is one of around 200 capital projects that money has been approved but not appropriated because of the impasse. The governor’s office urged Senator Mulroe to work with his caucus to pass structural reforms and a quote “truly balanced budget.”

Sec. of State has questions on automatic voter registration

The Secretary of State’s office says implementing a new program to make voter registration automatic at driver’s facilities around the state could be challenging during a budget impasse.

Several Senate Democrats came out to support Senator Andy Manar’s measure to change the opt-in voter registration system to an opt-out one where people would have to decline registering to vote when getting a new driver’s’ license or ID card.

Secretary of state Press Secretary Dave Druker says cost and the budget impasse have to be considered.

“Anything that is requiring mailings or different sorts of funding is potentially an issue without the budget. You don’t want to get into a project and find out you can’t finish it.”

Tales From The Trough

IceHogs go 3-1 in first half of homestand

By Todd Reicher Columnist

In the first four games of Rockford’s season-long eight game homestand, the IceHogs finished with a 3-1 record with their only loss coming against the San Jose Barracuda.

Rockford had their first win of the week on Tuesday, January 12 against the Chicago Wolves by a 5-2 margin. Garrett Ross and Ryan Haggerty led the charge with one goal and one assist each, and Ross sitting plus-3 for the game. The IceHogs carried a 2-1 lead into the second period off goals from Haggerty and Viktor Svedberg.

The IceHogs carried a 2-1 lead into the second period off goals from Haggerty and Viktor Svedberg. Pierre Cedric Labrie scored the only second period goal to give Rockford a little more breathing room to enter the third period.

Rockford’s two-goal lead was cut in half 2:56 into the third period by a Chicago power play goal, bringing the score to 3-2.

Chicago was unable to tally the equalizing goal, and with 1:14 remaining in the contest, Ross put the puck in an empty net to secure Rockford’s lead. Rubbing salt in the wound was Tanner Kero who tallied a greasy goal in front of the net with 39 seconds left in the game to solidify a 5-2 Rockford win.

Friday’s game would be Rockford’s only loss of the week, coming at the hands of the San Jose Barracuda. Rockford’s Mark McNeill tallied the first goal of the game 7:30 into the contest, but the lead only lasted 34 seconds with San Jose tying things up quickly.

The Barracuda claimed their first lead at 11:33 of the opening frame to give the visitors a 2-1 edge after 20 minutes. McNeill tallied his second goal of the contest 61 seconds into the second period to even the score again, this time at 2-2. San Jose responded again with a goal at 5:39 to once again reclaim a one-goal lead.

That lead would be compounded in the third period with an early power play goal and a fifth goal on Mark Visentin 6:04 into the final period to cap the scoring at 5-2.

Rockford’s Saturday contest for Pink in the Rink night was a revenge match against another California-based opponent, the Stockton Heat.

During the first week of the season the Heat embarrassed the ‘Hogs to the tune of 7-0 in Stockton.

The IceHogs responded to the shutout by pitching one of their own: a 3-0 shutout, Michael Leighton’s 43rd AHL shutout.

In a fast-paced first period, Rockford scored the lone goal, courtesy of Vinnie Hinostroza, who tallied his fifth of the season 13:38 into the

opening stanza. The second period was also fast-paced, but far less shots were fired from each side with Rockford holding an 8-4 edge in the sandwich stanza.

Neither team was able to crack the others goalmouth and the score remained 1-0 in favor of Rockford after 40 minutes. With time winding down in the third, Labrie fired a quick shot off a faceoff win by McNeill over the shoulder of Kevin Poulin to give Rockford a big 2-0 lead with 2:08 remaining to play.

Ville Pokka found the empty net with 51 seconds left to play, putting out the Heat’s fire and giving Rockford the 3-0 win.

After a Sunday off, Rockford played the fourth game of their home stand against the Lake Erie Monsters in a rare Monday matinee matchup. The 1 p.m. start time is usually difficult for both teams, but you would not know it as each team came out flying around the ice in a scoreless first period.

Leighton would stop all seven first period shots and Anton Forsberg fended off all 10 Rockford shots. Rockford put two goals in the board in the second period, putting Rockford up 2-0 heading into the final 20.

Hinostroza was the recipient of a perfect slapshot/pass from Svedberg to give Rockford the first goal of the game eight seconds into Rockford’s

second power play of the game.

Kiril Gotovets earned his first of the season with exactly 60 seconds on the clock to double the IceHogs lead to 2-0. The Monsters kept the shots close in the second, edging out Rockford 11-10, but Leighton continued his stellar play from Saturday, and stopped all 18 Lake Erie shots in the first two periods.

Oliver Bjorkstrand ended Leighton’s shutout streak at 128 minutes with an absolute snipe shot with 7:14 left in regulation to cut the lead to one.

Bjorkstrand came in on the right side with an IceHogs defender draped all over him, but the winger managed to fire a wicked wrist shot which picked the top right corners iron and behind Leighton.

The IceHogs fought off a late surge with the goaltender pulled, and recently reassigned forward Bryan Bickell found the empty net from the Rockford zone with 57 seconds left to play giving Rockford the 3-1 win, keeping them in first place in the Central Division.

Rockford continues their homestand with two games this upcoming week, both against the Iowa Wild. The IceHogs defeated the Wild 3-1 in their last meeting on January 10, with Leighton earning first star honors, stopping 33 of 34 Iowa shots.

Childhood concussions impair brain function: U of I study

By Sarah Banducci U of I News Bureau

CHAMPAIGN — A new study finds that pre-adolescent children who have sustained sports-related concussions have impaired brain function two years following injury.

The results are published in the International Journal of Psychophysiology.

Over a million brain injuries are treated annually in the U.S. While organized sports at all levels have implemented safety protocols for preventing and treating head injuries, most pediatric concussions still result from athletic activities.

What we know about long-term effects of childhoodconcussionsislimited.Severalresearchersclaim that only a small portion of children have developmental deficits following a concussion. However, other reports indicate much more dire consequences of head injury, including long-term cognitive deficits.

“Our data indicate that children who sustain a concussion demonstrate deficits in brain function and cognitive performance approximately two years after injury, relative to others their age who do not have a history of mild traumatic brain injury,” said Charles Hillman, University of Illinois kinesiology and community health professor. Hillman, who also is affiliated with the Beckman Institute for Advanced

ScienceandTechnology,ledtheresearchwithR.Davis Moore, a recent Illinois graduate and a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Montreal.

The study included 30 8- to 10-year-old children who are active in athletic activities. Fifteen of the children were recruited two years following

a sports-related concussion and the remaining children had no history of concussion.

The researchers assessed the children’s ability to update and maintain memory, as well as pay attention and inhibit responses when instructed to do so. The team also analyzed electrical signals in the brain while the children performed some of these cognitive tests.

With the brain signals, they were able to measure how each child’s brain performed the tests.

Relative to children in the control group, those with a history of concussion performed worse on tests of working memory, attention and impulse control. This impaired performance was also reflected in differences in the electric signals in the injured children’s brains.

Also, among the children with a history of concussion, those who were injured earlier in life had the largest deficits, Moore said.

Theresearchersemphasizethepotentialforlifelong academic and vocational consequences for kids who sustain concussions early in life, Moore said.

“These data are an important first step toward understanding sustained changes in brain function and cognition that occur following childhood concussion,” Hillman said. “Our study suggests the need to find ways to improve cognitive and brain health following a head injury, in an effort to improve lifelong brain health and effective functioning.”

What About Bicks?

Bryan Bickell is back in Rockford. Can the Blackhawks find a long-term solution to one of their biggest roster headaches?

By Adam Hess

A Contributor

Todd Reicher

fter his strong performance during the 2013 Stanley Cup playoffs, the Blackhawks almost had no choice but to sign forward Bryan Bickell to a contract extension. He was set to be an unrestricted free agent, was coming off a decent regular season, and was one of the team’s best and most consistent producers throughout their championship run.

Bickell’s strong playoffs put him in a nice spot, though, because he was able to ask for more money than his standard production would’ve warranted. He ended up signing a 4-year deal worth $4-million annually.

Two and a half seasons later, that deal has come to bite both Bickell and the Blackhawks in the ass in the worst way.

Bickell has not produced at even close to the same rate he was at in the 2013 playoffs, with this season being by far his worst. He has appeared in 23 games with the Blackhawks and tallied just two assists in those appearances.

His play has been nothing short of horrible.

The case could be made that, at his contract, Bickell is the worst player in the league. No player making $4-million should have just two assists in 23 games. He has been seemingly unable to do much of anything right at the NHL level.

His play in both zones leaves a hell of a lot to be desired. In a word, he is slow; he skates and thinks too slow. He can’t move his feet well enough to be in position, and he often has no idea what to do with the puck when it’s on his stick.

But besides that, Mrs. Lincoln, how was the play?

Bickell now finds himself in Rockford for the second time this season. He was being passed over for the likes of Brandon Mashinter and newcomer Richard Panik in Chicago, and no longer had a place on the roster. It’s entirely likely

he never dons the Four Feather sweater again.

This puts the Blackhawks in a precarious position. What do they do with this $4-million anchor who is signed through next season?

Reports over the weekend indicated that Bickell and his agent wouldn’t mind a trade, which only puts them about seven months behind the Blackhawks in joining that club.

“If we are watching things with our eyes open, it’s pretty clear that I would say his future is likely not with the Blackhawks,” Todd Diamond, Bickell’s agent, told the Sun-Times.

“Hopefully, we can work out a trade. Stan [Bowman] is open to that.”

But his contract and bad play have sent his trade value plummeting through the floor; no team is willing to give up even a 7th-round draft pick for him, even if Chicago retains salary.

Outside of a trade, the Blackhawks have two options: stick out Bickell’s contract next season and get it over with, or buy him out this offseason. The salary cap is not expected to go up by much – if at all – next season, so it’s really a lose-lose.

Should the Blackhawks keep Bickell around, he’ll be $4-million against the cap yet again and will still probably be worth none of that money.

In a buyout, a player’s cap hit is reduced to one-third its normal amount for twice as many years as the contract has remaining. So a Bickell buyout would result in him counting as $1.33 million against the salary cap until the end of the 2017-18 season.

Either way, the Blackhawks are in a bad place.

Unless they find a trade partner willing to take Bickell’s contract to reach the cap floor next season, Chicago will be forced to decide which of the these two evils is more necessary.
