Obama releases final budget plan NEWS Page 6

A task force reevaluating how tax dollars for primary education are spread around the state will kick off later this month and members from both parties are ready to get the conversation started.

Democratic Representative Jack Franks says the current formula is antiquated and designed to fail because many schools are deficit spending anyway.

“We need to blow up our system, it is not working for our students and it is not working for our taxpayers.”

There’s agreement about the need to reevaluate the formula, including Governor Bruce Rauner making it an issue in his State of the State address.

Some want state tax dollars shifted from affluent districts to poorer districts, while others fear that will increase property taxes for other areas.

Republican Representative Grant Wehrli says lawmakers need to look at the facts and figures.

“The disparity is a myth in my opinion, it can be easily shown with facts and data.”

Wehrli says collar counties and school districts like Naperville have shown they are more efficient when it comes to the tax dollars they receive and notes the high cost per pupil in Chicago.

“I can’t and we can’t allow our property taxes to increase with any change,” Franks added, “but the state is going to have to stand up and pay a higher percentage to those costs, but we need to do it more equitably.”

A task force announced by Speaker Michael Madigan plans to hold hearings throughout the spring to help draft legislation addressing the funding formula.

The Winnebago County chapter of Pheasants Forever will host their 25th annual fundraising banquet at Giovanni’s Restaurant, Feb. 18, 5:30 p.m.

Winnebago County Pheasants Forever Banquet is the largest banquet in Illinois and the 10th largest in the nation. The banquet will feature a social hour, gourmet all you can eat buffet dinner, live auction, silent auction, a gun board, a variety of raffles, and plenty of games and prizes.

“I want people to know all the money raised at the Banquet stays in Winnebago County,” said Dave Grass, WCPF President. “We have a lot of fun and almost no one goes home emptyhanded, and all the money we raise goes to help restore native habitat, land access for hunting, educate people about the outdoors and hunting safety and ethics.”

Energy & Environment

Alternatives to further grid expansion

By Drs. Robert & Sonia Vogl

President and Vice President, Illinois Renewable Energy Association

E

very time a storm disrupts electrical service by knocking down power poles and wires, crews are quickly sent out to restore service. According to one observer a recent storm in this area disrupted service in Dixon for two days, one day in Mt. Morris and six hours in Grand Detour. With increasing frequency and intensity of storms, the cost of repairing such damage is certain to rise.

Other cost increases come from utility plans to invest over a trillion dollars in upgrading the grid infrastructure of generating, transmitting and distributing electricity during the next 15 years. A recent report from the Rocky Mountain Institute addressed The Economics of Demand Flexibility which could reduce investments in the grid or

supply side by implementing strategies to reduce or shift customer demand.

Growth in demand has stagnated since 2010; U.S. Energy Information Administration estimates it will be less than 1 percent per year over the next 15 years. In order for utilities to recover the cost of their planned investments, consumer bills will have to increase. The Institute suggests a less costly approach focused on reducing demand.

Even though overall demand has slowed peak demand continues to rise and is met by operating expensive peaker plants a few hours a year. For residential customers a reduction in use of costly peaker plants can result from energy efficiency and by shifting consumption to non-peak hours.

ComEd and Ameren have offered customers real-time pricing. About 10,000 ComEd customers use the service. They are provided with estimates of hourly energy prices a day in advance and can adjust

their consumption to the prices being charged. On average customers have saved about 12 percent on the cost of their electricity.

With increasingly efficient appliances, increased ability to control them and customer electrical generation, the technical capacity exists to supplement or reduce reliance on centralized generation and its grid. Using these technologies increases the flexibility of demand and helps keep supply and demand in balance.

Electric hot water heaters, electric dryers, automated thermostatic controls for heating and cooling and electric vehicle charging controls offer big opportunities to shift electrical consumption away from times of peak demand while maintaining the quality of service. Solar systems produce electricity during peak demand time which can be used on-site with any excess sent back to the grid or stored in batteries for later

use. When PV output begins to decline in the late afternoon, electricity stored in batteries could be used to meet customer demand. A homeowner in our area with a solar system has oriented some of his panels to face west to increase late afternoon production. As system costs continue to decline more panels are likely to face to the west.

Opportunities to reduce demand are substantial and cost effective while increasing system reliability and reducing expensive storm damage and service disruptions. Widespread implementation of flexible demand and distributed generation could reduce the magnitude of the massive, costly and vulnerable grid expansion now envisioned. The changes also harm utility earnings so the question becomes one of how to structure utility rates so both alternative technologies and existing utilities can benefit.

Despite claims, it’s not just the poor who will suffer

First-world countries already feel the impacts of climate change

By Joe Romm ThinkProgress.org

A well-meaning but ultimately flawed new study tries to argue that climate change is even more unfair than we thought. It has long been understood that climate change is uniquely inequitable and immoral since most of the world’s poorest countries will suffer greatly from its impacts, even though they have contributed little or nothing to the problem because they are historically low emitters of carbon pollution.

A study released Friday by The University of Queensland and the Wildlife Conservation Society goes even further, however, arguing that the world’s big carbon polluters won’t suffer greatly from climate change.

The study, published in the journal Scientific Reports, asserts: “Some countries, such as China and the United States of America, are in a win-win position of achieving economic growth through fossil fuel use with few consequences from the resulting climate change, while many other, mostly Island and African, countries suffer low economic growth and severe, negative climate change impacts.”

While the second half of that assertion is true, the firsthalf is,quite frankly, absurd.China andtheU.S. are both going to suffer devastating consequences from climate change — indeed, we already are.

“It is certainly clear that the rich nations have gotten rich on fossil fuels and that many of the world’s poorest countries are going to suffer a great deal and they didn’t contribute at all,” as I told the Christian Science Monitor Friday. “It’s also clear that the U.S. isn’t doing

its fair share. Those points are sort of indisputable.”

Butit’samistaketoleavepeoplewiththeimpression that it’s only poor countries that will take the brunt of climate change, as I have explained many times. We are the world’s breadbasket with a vast, highly populated shoreline. We are very vulnerable to changes in precipitation, drought, heat waves, extreme weather events, storm surge, and sea level rise, as well as ocean acidification, invasive pests like bark beetles, and spreading tropical diseases. The list goes on and on.

Just this Monday I reported on the latest study showing the U.S. Southwest is drying out exactly as the climate models had predicted, dramatically increasing the chances for mega-droughts. We saw a glimpse of the havoc this drying (combined with warming temperatures) can bring in the recent multiyear California drought — as well as the devastating Texas and Oklahoma drought earlier in the decade.

A 2014 study found that “drying will spread to 30 percent of land” around the globe because of climate

change, and “even regions expected to get more rain, including important wheat, corn and rice belts in the western United States and southeastern China, will be at risk of drought.”

Rising sea levels and storm surges will be especially devastating to countries like the U.S. (and China) that have vast amounts of wealth along their shores. To be clear, poor low-lying countries, like Bangladesh and the small island states, will be devastated by human-caused increases in sea level and storm surges.

And, again, every rich country has a moral responsibility to help poor countries deal with a problem they did essentially nothing to create.

But the U.S. has more than $1.4 trillion in vulnerable coastal property along the U.S. shore. A 2013 NOAA study found that under business-as-usual climate change and sea level rise projections, Superstorm Sandy-level storm surges will become commonplace on the Northeast coast in the second half of this century. And a study from just last month

found that human-caused climate change appears to be supercharging East Coast superstorms more than we thought, boosting both precipitation and storm surgeinparticularmuchfasterthantheglobalaverage.

For the new study to claim climate change is “winwin” for countries like China and the U.S. simply has no basis in fact. And the study has been generating equally inaccurate headlines, like this one in Time magazine: “The U.S. emits the second most greenhouse emissions but is largely shielded from the worst effects.” There is no such shield.

Let’s all stipulate that human-caused climate change is uniquely inequitable and immoral since it impacts so many people who contributed virtually nothing to the problem. Indeed, the world’s leading scientists and governments have gone on record that climate change is even more inequitable and immoral than that — because if we allow the worst impacts to happen, they will be irreversible on a timescale of hundreds of years, thereby ruining a livable climate for countless generations yet unborn. We can also stipulate that the rich countries are not doing enough to avoid the catastrophic impacts of carbon pollution that will continue to accelerate as we near and then cross the 2 C (3.6 F) “defense line.”

But climate science and recent observations make clear that the rich countries and China are already experiencing severe consequences from climate change — and are headed for catastrophic ones with trillion-dollar price tags if we don’t slash emissions far more than we have already pledged.

Interestingly, while the University of Queensland news release has a misleading headline, it provides a useful metaphor: ” ‘Like second-hand smoke’: Worst emitters least affected by climate change.”

As I told the Christian Science Monitor, ” ‘Second-hand smoke’ is a good analogy but remember that first-hand smoke has plenty of problems too.”

City Beat Take a minute to take in the good things

A recent meeting of the Friends of Ziock group shed a positive light on downtown’s continued redevelopment.

A group of civic leaders, property developers, legislative representatives and engaged citizens spent more

By Shane than two hours kicking Nicholson around ideas and concerns in a controlled and ultimately productive environment.

Local architect Gary Anderson summed up the mood of the room perfectly: “We need to be doing more of these positive things about the successes Rockford has had.” And you know what? He’s right.

It’s easy to get bogged down in federal oversight and investigations. It’s easy to let the bad feelings of the local governments envelope the mood of the entire community. The news is what it is, and it can become overwhelming if one only focuses on the negatives.

But there are times where one can look at all the positives and feel like Rockford is going somewhere. Money is being spent to renovate lost buildings. The infrastructure (despite some hyper-local concerns over bumpy sidewalks and unsalted roads) has improved markedly. There are real signs of progress.

And downtown is certainly a prime example of the renaissance this area could achieve, so long as we keep looking forward. New restaurants and shops have popped up seemingly on a monthly basis for the past couple years. Residential space is gaining momentum, with 116 units currently in the downtown area expected to boom over the next 18 months, reaching a count of 227 by 2017.

So yeah, the bad stuff is, well, pretty bad. But there’s a lot of good work going on in Rockford, and a lot of the groundwork is being laid to make the city a regional hub yet again. Take a minute to take it in; you won’t be disappointed.

Rockford native lights up Aurora stage

By Bill Beard Contributor

D

on’t miss this one, Rockford! It’s right down the road in Aurora! The Paramount Theatre’s Broadway Musical Series has a new production of Hairspray the Musical, starring one of Rockford’s own favorite divas, E. Faye Butler!

Ms. Butler (pictured center stage, right) has been featured on virtually every professional stage in Chicago; has toured nationally and performed across the country from Florida, Yale, Philadelphia and the Kennedy Center. She has won six Jeff Awards, four BTAs, two Helen Hayes awards, a Black Excellence Award, and has been inducted into the Women in the Arts Museum in Washington D.C. She was most recently seen in Rockford in this last season’s Hometown Christmas, as J. R. Sullivan’s special guest. She is now featured in the Paramount’s Hairspray through Sunday, February 21, playing the powerhouse role of Motormouth Mabelle. She has a magnificent voice and a real command of the stage, and she is fantastic!

Hairspray, the Musical is described as: “a high-octane song and dance party, about a ’plus-size’ teen (Tracy Turnblad), with ’plus-size’ hair, and one big ’plus-size’ dream – to dance her way onto Baltimore’s TV hit, The Corny Collins Show.” The show is set in the 1960s, and only features ‘white’ teen dancers (except for one day a week, “the Negro day”). So Tracy must not only overcome her “plus-ness”, but also organize her friends to fight the social battle of racial prejudice. (Hey! Doesn’t that whole thing sound sort of familiar….today!?)

This is a brilliant cast! Truly as fine as any ensemble I have reviewed here in the region for a

long while. Amelia Jo Parish has a powerful, but pleasant singing voice and dance ability as well; her endearing appeal offers a completely honest exuberance and relentless enthusiasm to Tracy’s passionate determination; it would be impossible not to love her. Landree Fleming’s Penny is perfect, and Gilbert Domally on target. Again,

Encore

this is a truly professional ensemble.

Directed (and choreographed marvelously)

by Amber Mac, the production also enjoys the impeccable work of Music Director/Conductor Tom Vendafreddo, whose baton has blessed most of the orchestra pits in the region. Add in the beautifully coordinated artistry of Linda Buchanan (scenery), Theresa Ham (costumes) and the entire design staff, and one finds a real sort of “synchronization.” The entire production shows a unity of concept.

I had an opportunity after the show to chat with a few cast members. It seems that the entire ensemble loved working with Ms. Butler. Amelia Jo gushed that she thought Faye was “….amazing, just amazing.” Young Ariana Burks, who is excellent as Little Inez, described how much she learned by working with Faye: “She is a true role model.”

Ms. Butler explained: “This has been a magnificent experience….my first time at the Paramount. But hopefully, certainly not my last. The management here is completely professional. Jim Corti (Artistic Director of the Paramount) has built something very special here.” [Critic’s Note: Mr. Corti is a renowned theatre leader in Chicagoland; with multiple Jeff Awards in Acting, Choreography and Directing; I remember reviewing his dazzling production of Sweet Charity (2008) at Drury Lane Oak Brook, with the brilliant Summer Smart. The Paramount

is in excellent hands!]

It appears to me that she is right. I personally will look forward to returning to the Paramount often. I enthusiastically encourage any state line theatregoer to take the short trip down I-39/I-88 for Broadway at the Paramount’s next show: West Side Story. But meantime, definitely try to go to Hairspray, the Musical before Sunday, February 21.

For more information or to contact The Paramount Theatre call 630-896-6666 or visit ParamountAurora.com.

• • • Postscript: I’ve been reviewing the big shows in Chicago for some 20 years; the Broadway in Chicago series, The Goodman, The Court, Writers Theatre, Drury Lane, Marriott Lincolnshire, plus many others. I’ve been encouraging, urging and pleading with state line readers to take the time and effort to drive the 90 minutes into downtown Chicago to see top-notch professional shows.

But now I can say there is no need to go into the heart of Chicago Loop traffic. Aurora is an easy 60-minute drive (straight down I-39 and east on I-88) right into the center of the town, and the Paramount (restored in 1978 and 2006) is like a twin sister to our own Coronado (restored in 2001).

The Big Short brings a little humor to a depressing story Fantastic cast adds a subtle touch to a heartbreaking story

By Thomas Simpson Contributor

T

he financial crisis of 2007-2008 created shockwaves that can still be felt today.

Considered by experts to be the worst banking crisis ever recorded, it was documented in Michael Lewis’s non-fiction book The Big Short: Inside The Doomsday Machine.

It doesn’t sound like a tale full of laughs, yet it was Adam McKay (known for Anchorman and Eastbound and Down) that was tasked with bringing this harrowing tale to the big screen for the five time Oscar nominated The Big Short. McKay has managed to inject a black humor into the film that keeps you serene as we hurtle towards the inevitable. A perfect metaphor.

Ryan Gosling is our fourth wall bothering narrator, Jared Vennett. A Wall Street trader who hears of hedge fund manager Micael Burry’s (Christian Bale) predictions that the housing market is about to collapse. After a fateful wrong number gets him in touch with hedge fund manager Mark Baum (Steve Carell), Vennett puts a plan in motion to capitalize on the impending disaster.

The cast is simply brilliant with Carell and Bale excelling in their roles. Carell proves once against the extent of his range with another excellent and serious performance while Bale gives his peers cause for worry in the Best Supporting Actor category at this year’s Oscars. He’s eccentric and socially awkward while portraying an honesty that keeps him morally transparent despite the complex nature of the plot.

If you’re concerned that all the banking talk may leave you confused, don’t be. McKay and co-writer Charles Randolph do their best to explain the complex financial terms in unique ways. If Gosling’s Vennett isn’t able to dumb it down enough he’ll happily cut to Margot Robbie in a bubble bath or Selena Gomez at the blackjack table. It’s a very self aware film that employs madcap comedy while keeping the restraints on. There is a more serious message here and not one that will leave you exiting the cinema on a high.

There may be plenty of laughs to be had, however recent history reminds us how this one will end. It’s bleak and depressing but ultimately important. The soul crushing climax

is a stark warning that history can and does often repeat itself. The Big Short may leave you feeling helpless with a worry that the end is nigh, but it’s a magnificent film with a stellar cast that bring their A game.

Commentary

The changing face of the Democratic Party

By David Stebenne TheConversation.com

L

ast week’s debate in New Hampshire between Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders over who is the “real progressive” said a lot about how they and the Democratic Party have changed over the past half-century.

When Clinton and Sanders first came of age politically during the mid-1960s, neither was a natural fit for the Democrats as the party was then.

Taking a look at how these two very different people and the party they now want to lead have evolved can help clarify the philosophical divide on display in the Democratic Party today.

Hillary: from midwest Republican to moderate liberal

In the mid-1960s, Hillary Clinton wasn’t even a Democrat. She was the child of upper middle-class Republicans living in Park Ridge, Illinois, a Chicago suburb.

That world, like the surrounding Du Page County of which Park Ridge was a part, was strongly Republican then. To most people living there, the Democrats were the party of Mayor Richard Daley Sr., a big-city machine politician whose somewhat corrupt organization mostly championed the interests of working and lower middle-class whites living inside Chicago’s city limits.

The twin upheavals of the Vietnam War and the civil rights movement transformed both Hillary Clinton and the Democrats over the following 10 years. By the mid-1970s, she had become a liberal Democrat of the Great Society/ George McGovern variety who embraced such new liberal causes as the civil rights movement, détente with the Soviet Union, feminism and environmentalism.

As the country moved to the right in the later 1970s and ‘80’s, Hillary Clinton became a more moderately liberal Democrat, somewhat more skeptical of big, expensive government programs, tougher on crime and more supportive of military strength as a way to deter aggression.

This is the position she and her husband Bill have adhered to ever since.

Bernie: from Brooklyn socialist to independent

Bernie Sanders’ road to where he is today, politically speaking, was even stranger.

He grew up in a tightly knit Brooklyn neighborhood where the immigrant Jewish socialist tradition was still strongly felt. The residents there had mostly embraced Franklin Roosevelt during the 1930s, but tended to be New Deal Democratic voters of the most left wing sort.

For them, Progressive Party candidate Henry Wallace, who opposed a confrontational stance toward the Soviet Union, better reflected in 1948 what the New Deal stood for than did Democrat Harry Truman.

Having grown up in that radical milieu during the 1940s and ‘50’s, Bernie Sanders appears to have moved easily into the New Left in the 1960s and ‘70’s, which disdained the Democrats as too “conservative.”

Lots of New Leftists like Sanders moved to Vermont in the 1970s and built their own “democratic socialist” movement there, as they called it. That base of support lifted Bernie Sanders

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.

(running as an independent) to three major public offices in Vermont: mayor of Burlington, congressman and then senator.

Serving in the U.S. House and Senate obliged Sanders to form some kind of relationship with the Democratic Party (lest he be shut out of the committee seniority system there), and so he chose to caucus with them while remaining officially an independent. Only when he decided to run for the Democratic presidential nomination did he register as a Democrat.

‘The party that never dies’ That both Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders were able to find a home in today’s Democratic Party not only reflects the more fluid nature of American political allegiance when compared with the electorate of such similar nations as Britain and Canada. It also says volumes about the shape-shifting nature over time of the Democratic Party.

Political scientists have dubbed the Democrats “the party that never dies,” because it has enjoyed a continuous existence since its founding in the late 1820s, even though what the party has stood for and who votes for it have changed greatly since then. The Democrats have used the

word “progressive” since the early years of the 20th century. Indeed, Woodrow Wilson in the election of 1912 famously described himself as “a Progressive with the brakes on.”

When Clinton and Sanders were coming of age politically 50 years ago, the Democrats were basically the party of the cities and South, a somewhat bipolar coalition forged during the Roosevelt presidency.

Since then, the Democrats have become the party of the country’s big metro regions, cities and their suburbs.

There has also been a change in the class background of the party’s electoral support.

Unlike 50 years ago, when the Democrats were much more a party of workers and the lower middle class, today’s party enjoys less of that kind of support, especially from the males in those groups.

Upper middle-class suburban liberals of the 1970s variety and aging New Leftists who see the Democrats – as disappointing as they are in some ways – as infinitely preferable to today’s Republicans are the relative newcomers to the Democratic fold.

More than one ‘real progressive’

Keeping all that in mind helps explain the Clinton-Sanders dispute over who is the real “progressive” in this year’s race for the Democratic nomination. Who is the person most able to bring about social change – and what kind of change?

To Hillary Clinton, the term “progressive” is synonymous with moderately liberal middle-class reformer, of which she is a leading example.

To Bernie Sanders, “progressive” evokes the spirit of the left wing of the New Deal coalition.

This reminds us that “progressive” is a word that means different things to different people, and that has been true for a long time.

Rauner’s strategy? Create even more chaos

By Rich Miller Capitol Fax

L

ast week, a reporter said to Gov. Bruce Rauner that Secretary of State Jesse White had suggested that Rauner bring in former governors, including George Ryan, to help break the long governmental impasse which has prevented the state from having a budget for over seven months.

Rauner laughed and said, “Uh, wow.”

The governor clearly did not take the suggestion seriously.

“I’m not gonna talk about the failures of the past that created this mess,” Gov. Rauner said through chuckles.

“I focus on the future. I don’t live in the past.

We’ve had failure in our elected government for decades. This mess didn’t happen over night. And what we’re not gonna do is reproduce the dynamic that created it.” The governor laughed throughout most of that last sentence.

Bringing in graybeards has been tried before without success. Gov. Rod Blagojevich asked former US House Speaker Dennis Hastert and then-Southern Illinois University President Glenn Poshard to town to help him pass his massive construction proposal that Speaker Madigan refused to agree to. It didn’t work.

The two men left town as soon as they realized how hardened Madigan’s position had become against Blagojevich.

While former governors have been through similar troubles, nothing really compares to today’s self-inflicted disaster. Madigan and Blago-

jevich played hardball, but the game is exponentially meaner now.

And, besides, what would the former governors say or do that could make a difference? They’d probably advise Rauner to cut a deal which doesn’t bash unions. But our governor seems wholly uninterested in doing such a thing.

The simple fact is that nothing – nothing – will change until Madigan and Rauner decide it will.

Madigan’s long history clearly shows he forces the other side to negotiate against itself until he believes they’re close enough to his position.

Rauner has clearly not moved far enough away from anti-union proposals and things like term limits for Madigan’s taste.

And Rauner, for his part, seems fed up with the whole process and has taken to issuing repeated dire warnings of political consequences to Madigan’s Democratic members if they continue

backing the Speaker.

But as we saw not long ago, when rank and file Senate Democrats rejected the pension reform compromise negotiated by Senate President John Cullerton (even though a majority of that caucus had voted for a very similar bill a couple of years earlier), most Democratic legislators are in no mood to work out a deal, either, and continue to insist that the governor come to the table and finally agree to a budget instead.

Late last Thursday, Chicago State University officially declared a “financial exigency,” which could lead to the reduction of tenured faculty and drastic reductions in programs in order to save the school from closure. The state’s only majority black university had already announced last month that it would run out of money to pay salaries in early March.

CSU gets more than a third of its funding from the state, more than all but one other 4-year

public university in Illinois. But the governor has publicly complained that taxpayers have been throwing Chicago State’s money “down the toilet” and wants drastic reforms. For now, anyway, the Democrats are staying on the sidelines and loudly pointing fingers at Rauner.

The governor has been talking about his grand plan for years, long before he was elected.

He never made it a major campaign issue, but it’s clear from looking at his past statements that he believes Democrats will eventually side against the unions and with social service agencies (and places like the CSU campus and the Chicago Public Schools) if he can, in his own words, “drive a wedge” into the party. The object is to make the Democrats choose between money for their pet causes or union rights. He’s shut off the money, but he hasn’t yet driven that wedge.

That’s probably why Rauner looked like he was attempting to tank the Chicago Public School’s bond sale last week with loud demands that it should go bankrupt and be taken over by the state. Without that bond sale, the school system would’ve been in danger of shutting down.

The object here appears to be to create so much chaos that the Democrats finally start negotiating in order to save all the programs and institutions they’ve been building for decades.

So far, that isn’t happening, but the real chaos is yet to come. We’ve seen smaller social service agencies close, we’ve seen larger agencies shut down vital programs, but so far nothing huge has happened.

It’ll probably take the “death” of something very important and very large to test this theory.

Your Horoscope

By Denise Guzzardo Week of Feb. 10-16, 2016

This Week: Happy Valentine’s Day to all of our loved ones celebrating the holiday of love. Once again, we are not under the influence of Mercury retrograde that tends to complicate weddings or marriage proposals.

So those of you looking to tie the knot, the plenary climate is complimentary for those collaborations. Those of you that are single, Venus compliments perfect pairings during the month of February. Enjoy!

Aries (March 21 to April 19) — Remain in the here and now and do not allow the past to affect a blessing in your current lifestyle. You have a diamond in the rough, all you need to do now is polish and nurture it.

You will be amazed at how brightly this will shine for you if you allow it to. A positive breakthrough with career is on the table shortly, go for it, Aries.

Taurus (April 20 to May 20)­— Romance has you pulled in two different directions this week. The feeling of having to choose is difficult and stressful. Concentrate on your career and try not to let this get the best of you. By week’s end you will know which way to go. The behaviors of others will make that clear for you. Take time out for friends and family. You need a little humor at this point, Taurus.

Gemini (May 21 to June 20) — There is a lucky break coming your way at this time. This is the direct result of of your past efforts and energy. Make sure that you are celebrating this newfound direction.

Your loved ones are in full support of your growth and development. A new addition may be arriving in the family. A child or pet will brighten your day, Gemini.

Cancer (June 21 to July 22) — If you feel like the walls are closing in on you at this time, you may be absolutely right. This is a good time to make all of the wrongs from your past right, even if you don’t feel like you need too. Hiding your head in the sand will not help matters any, it will only make things worse in the long run. Legal matters will be addressed shortly, Cancer.

Leo (July 23 to Aug. 22) — Gatherings with friends and family will brighten this week’s energy. Brainstorming with those of like mind will sharpen up your creative skills and start you in a new direction at this time. This winter has been hard on all of us, but as of late you’ve been feeling the stagnation drastically. This week provides the major turning that you’ve been looking for, Leo. Virgo (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) — You may find yourself a little more overly sensitive to a female family member now. Her emotions are hard to understand but this has nothing to do with you.

Try not to take this personal. Your intuition is right on target with work and business at this

time. Take advantage of this new burst of energy and productive influences. New people allow creative opportunities to align now. Present yourself in the best possible light, all eyes are on you this week, Virgo.

Libra (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) — The dynamite blast has removed a gigantic long-standing wall in front of your eyes. Now all you have to do is dust yourself off and trust that no aftershocks or boulders will fall on you this week. You have wonderful projects ahead of you that will fill you with love and light. New friends and surroundings provide just that.

Old relationships are back on track as well. It’s good to be home, Libra.

Scorpio (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) — Finances are a major issue at this time. Respecting money is not the same as worshipping it. Money is a simple exchange of energy like the air that we breath. There is plenty of it to go around and it will not buy you happiness, that needs to come from within.

Keep this in mind and move forward with a positive healthy attitude towards it. All is well that ends well, Scorpio.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) — You are in the right place at the right time to receive an award or a bonus. Someone is looking out for you behind the scenes and is putting your name out there for an achieve-

ment that you deserve. Your personal appearance should be a priority at this time.

Put your best foot forward now, all eyes are on you, Sag. Capricorn (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) — You can finally take a rest from the hectic schedule you’ve been keeping as of late. Now it’s time to touch base with your inner self and see exactly what you need to do to improve your emotional state. Changes with your intake of junk food, alcohol or smoke will definitely improve your energy levels. Finances are dynamic at this time.

Someone is willing to meet you halfway if you are willing to forgive, Capricorn.

Aquarius (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) — Large gatherings or impromptu affairs provide plenty of fun and laughter this week. You’ve been feeling like a bit of a grump or an emotional train wreck and like magic this begins to disappear. Put yourself out there and allow others to love you up a bit. You won’t be disappointed, Aquarius.

Pisces (Feb. 19 to March 20) — Travel plans are in your best interest now, no matter how difficult it may seem to get away at this point it is crucial. You have been running on fumes for way too long and it’s time for a fresh perspective on life. Midweek brings the perfect solution to this element. Go for it, Pisces.

Voices from the Grave

A tragic ending to a well-lived life

By Kathi Kresol Contributor

T

he evening of April 28, 1909 was initially discussed because of the storm that swept over the area. Folks in the village of Winnebago would remember exactly where they were that evening because of the fierce thunderstorm that brought almost continuous lightning and torrential rains.

That storm would also play a part in the worst crime in the history of the little community though no one would realize it for almost 24 hours.

Margaret Grippen was a widow who lived in a farm house on Bluff Street near the northeast edge of town. Both Margaret and her husband, Demas were considered pioneers of the village and well loved. Their property contained an 80-acre farm and a two-story house. “Uncle Demas” as the townspeople referred to him, was known to be a helpful and very generous neighbor.

The couple had three children, two girls who died too early and their son, Demas Junior who lived in Iowa with his wife, Blanche. When Demas died in 1895, Margaret was left all alone in the house they had built on Bluff Street.

On that night in April, Margaret was visiting the old farmer McDougall. She visited the farmer to order a chicken and some milk. McDougall offered to deliver the items the next day and loaned Margaret a coat to wear home because the storm was sweeping into town.

Another neighbor would report that she spotted Margaret walking home when she looked through the window at the storm. The time was 6:30 p.m. The neighbor could not know that she would be the last person to see Margaret alive.

The next day McDougall stopped by Margaret’s house several times to deliver her order before he knocked on a neighbor’s door to ask if she had seen Margaret. Mrs George Ades was surprised that Margaret did not answer and offered a skeleton key that she knew would open the front door of the Grippen home. Margaret had borrowed it several times since she noticed her house key was missing.

McDougall and Mrs. Ades opened the front door and later they both would state that they noticed reddish brown stains smeared all over the walls and then they noticed the body on the floor. At first, they thought Margaret had fallen and they rushed toward her. As they neared the body, Mrs. Ades started to scream.

When Sheriff Collier arrived from Rockford, the whole horrible truth was disclosed. The 68-year-old woman entered the home and went to the second floor to shut a window that she

had left open. When she returned downstairs there was someone waiting in the darkness of her living room.

The intruder rushed her and hit her several times with a large conch shell that sat on a shelf.

Margaret fought hard for her life and battled the intruder up and down the hallway. The attacker grabbed a pair of scissors and caused tremendous damage to the poor woman’s hands as she defended herself.

Finally, Margaret fell onto the floor where the savage attack continued. She was stabbed 38 times in the face and chest before the maniac went into the kitchen for another weapon. This time he carried a flat iron that he used to beat Margaret’s head so badly that no one would be able to identify her.

The attacker tried to cover up his crime by placing a kerosene lamp next to Margaret’s body and a shawl over the chimney. He probably thought that setting a fire would destroy the perfect fingerprints that he left on the glass of the lantern along with any other evidence.

Thankfully, the shawl never caught fire.

After cleaning up in the kitchen, the killer walked past the body in the hall and out the front door. He used a key to lock the door behind him. He dropped the key in the front yard on his way through the yard. The storm covered all the noise of the attack and kept any would be witness in their homes.

The man who slaughtered the beloved widow slipped away, most likely on the railroad that ran close to the home. The only real evidence found were those fingerprints left on the lamp.

Experts came from all over to try to solve this heinous crime and to match the fingerprints. Though over 400 different fingerprints were collected and compared, no match was ever made. The murder of Margaret Grippen remains unsolved.

Margaret was buried in the Winnebago Cemetery next to her beloved daughters and her grandson.

Kathi Kresol, the author of the Voices the Grave column and the recently released book, Murder and Mayhem in Rockford, Illinois will present at the Dead Guys Festival on Saturday, February 13 at the Veterans Memorial Hall from 12:30-4:30 p.m. Other speakers include Steve Litteral, Executive Director of the Tinker Swiss Cottage who will be sharing his research on the massacres of the Black Hawk War and the award winning filmmaker, John Borowski. Borowski will discuss his research into the serial killer, H.H. Holmes. The tickets for the festival are only $5 per person in advance and $10 at the door.

Options and setup for the best strawberries

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

Strawberries are one of the most common berries grown in Northern Illinois at both homes and farms. Unlike other berries and brambles, strawberries do not always require intensive management such as pruning.

Strawberry plants do need some attention when it comes to yearly management, dealing with runners from the plants, and preparing the strawberry plants for winter protection.

There are three types of strawberries which include June bearing, everbearing, and day neutral. June bearing will have a large concentrated crop in late spring with better overall yields. Everbearing has several flushes of flowers and fruits each season.

Day neutral will have flower and fruit continuously through the growing season unless it’s too hot. You’ll want to select strawberries types based on maturation date, dessert quality, preserving quality, and disease resistance.

Once you’ve decided on the type, you’ll then seek out varieties for these. Some recommended varieties for our area include Earligrow, Annapolis, and Jewel which are all June bearing and Tristar and Tribute which are day neutral. When

planting strawberries, you want to plant as soon as the ground can be prepared in the spring but not if the soil is too wet. For our area, this is best done in March or April.

Strawberries need a system to grow and yield well. The matted row, spaced row, and hill system are common setups for strawberries. In the matted system, plants are set 18-30” apart with rows 3-4’ apart. These are most popular for June bearing berries.

In spaced row, this is similar spacing as matted row but the daughter plants are spaced to root no closer than 4-inches apart. All other runners are cut off. The spaced row can be more labor but higher yields, larger berries, and fewer disease problems. In the hill system, these are better for everbearing and day neutral cultivars where all runners are removed.

Plants are planted 1-foot apart. While these are systems for small and large plantings, strawberry plants can also be grown Affordable Senior Apartments on modified wooden pallets, pyramids, and in barrels. The everbearing and day neutral are usually better for these unique setups.

Instructions for making wooden pallets systems can be found online.

Ethanol, distiller export grains remain strong

By Debra Levey Larson U of I News Bureau

URBANA – U.S. exports of fuel ethanol were generally small prior to 2010. For 2010, the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) estimated exports at 398.5 million gallons. Exports peaked at just under 1.2 billion gallons in 2011 when Brazilian ethanol supplies were in short supply. Exports declined to 619 million gallons in 2013, but recovered to 846 million gallons in 2014.

According to University of Illinois agricultural economist Darrel Good, EIA data are not yet available for December 2015. “Based on EIA data through November and Census data for December, it appears that fuel ethanol exports in 2015 were near 844 million gallons, about equal to exports in 2014,” Good said. “Canada is the largest importer of U.S. ethanol, accounting for about 30 percent of the total in 2015.”

Other large importers in 2015 included Brazil (14 percent), the Philippines (9) percent, China (8 percent), and South Korea (7 percent). In all, 77 countries are identified as importing some U.S. ethanol in 2015.

“Imports of fuel ethanol, as reported by the EIA, totaled less than 16 million gallons in 2010, reached a peak of 494 million gallons in 2012 when the U.S had a relatively small corn crop and high corn prices, and declined to just under 75 million gallons in 2014,” Good said. “Based on EIA data through November and Census data for December,

it appears that imports of fuel ethanol were near 93 million gallons in 2015.” Almost all of those imports were from Brazil.

Good continued that based on EIA monthly data for January through November and weekly EIA data for December, domestic ethanol production in 2015 was record large near 14.76 billion gallons, about 3 percent more than the previous record production in 2014.

“Based on weekly ethanol stocks estimates, it appears that domestic inventories grew by about 95 million gallons during 2015,” he said. “Based on these estimates, and the estimates of exports and imports described above, domestic ethanol consumption totaled about 13.914 billion gallons in 2015. That calculation is about 3.5 percent larger than consumption in 2014. Monthly EIA data for December is scheduled for release on Feb. 29 and that data will allow for a more accurate estimate of production, trade, stocks, and consumption for 2015.”

Exports of U.S distillers grains first exceeded one million short tons in 2005. Exports grew to about 9.9 million tons in 2010, declined in 2011 and 2012, but reached a record 13.8 million tons in 2015. China was the largest importer of U.S. distillers grains in 2015, accounting for 50 percent of the total. Other large importers included Mexico (13 percent), Vietnam (5 percent), and South Korea (5 percent). A total of 45 countries are identified as importing some U.S. distillers grains in 2015.

The USDA began estimating ethanol co-product production in October 2014 with the release of the first Grain Crushings and Co-Product Production report in February 2015. The report released on Feb. 1, 2016, contained production estimates for December 2015 and provided the first full calendar year of dry mill and wet mill co-product production estimates. Those co-products include a number of categories, including distillers dried grains (DDG) and distillers dried grains with solubles (DDGS).

Production of those two products in 2015 is estimated at 27.7 million tons. Based on Census estimates, exports (13.8 million tons) accounted for about half of total production of distillers grains in 2015 with the other half accounted for by domestic consumption. Domestic consumption also included large quantities of other co-products, including distillers wet grains (DWG), corn germ meal, corn gluten feed, corn gluten meal, and wet corn gluten feed.

“Exports of fuel ethanol accounted for about 5.7 percent of estimated U.S. ethanol production in 2015, representing about 300 million bushels of ethanol feedstock, mostly corn,” Good said.

“The recent sharp decline in gasoline prices that has resulted in ethanol prices being much higher than gasoline prices has raised concerns about the demand for ethanol in both the domestic and export markets. We argued in a recent farmdoc daily article that domestic ethanol consumption will be supported by the RFS mandate even with ethanol

prices at a premium to gasoline prices. In fact, with expanding domestic gasoline consumption, the enforcement of the RFS mandate will likely result in growing domestic consumption of ethanol.”

What about exports?

“Several importers of U.S. ethanol, including Canada and Brazil, also have mandates for domestic biofuels consumption which will support ethanol consumption in those countries,” Good said. “In addition, the role of ethanol as a low-cost octane enhancer (see the recent farmdoc daily article) is likely to support consumption of ethanol even with low gasoline prices. As a result, U.S. ethanol exports are expected to remain large in 2016.

“Exports represent a large share of the market for U.S. distillers grains and the export market is dominated by China. U.S. distiller grains represent a low-cost feed ingredient for Chinese livestock producers given the high domestic price of corn and restrictions on corn imports,” Good concluded.

“However, as experienced during the period from September 2014 through February 2015, Chinese imports can be influenced by unpredictable import restrictions. Such restrictions could become an issue again in 2016 if China pursues policies to protect domestic interests. Restrictions on Chinese imports, along with expanding U.S. production of distillers grains associated with expanding ethanol production, would increase the domestic supply of distillers grains and could provide some downward pressure on prices.”

IPT Bull Sale is the source for total performance genetics

By Leanne Lucas U of I News Bureau

URBANA – Commercial cow-calf producers and seedstock breeders interested in purchasing a total performance tested bull should plan to attend the 2016 Illinois Performance Tested Bull Sale. The sale will be held Thursday, Feb. 25, at 11 a.m. in the Livestock Center on the Illinois State Fairgrounds in Springfield.

The sale is the leadoff event for the Illinois Beef

Expo, and it marks the 48th year for the event.

“There have been 4,628 bulls, valued at over $8.1 million, sold at previous sales,” said Travis Meteer, IPT Bull Sale manager.

This year there are 62 bulls cataloged, with 19 longer-aged 2014 mature bulls and 43 yearlings.

A breakdown of the breeds includes 30 Angus, 17 Simmental and SimAngus, and five Polled Hereford.

The sale order will be based on a “power score” system that utilizes the economic indexes provided

by the breed associations. The power score will be calculated on the percentile rank for these values. The economic indexes are $W and $B for Angus, API and TI for Simmental, and BMI and CHB for Hereford.

Along with strict requirements for superior Expected Progeny Differences (EPDs), bulls must meet some of the most rigorous requirements in the industry. “These bulls don’t just have to pass the test, they have to pass every test,” said Meteer.

All bulls must meet a stringent minimum scrotal circumference for their age. Mothers of the bull are required to test negative for Johne’s Disease or come from a Level 1 or higher herd of the Voluntary Johne’s Certification Program. Bulls must also be tested free for bovine viral diarrhea using the persistently infected ear notch screening system.

All senior and January yearlings must be fertility tested. All bulls must meet weight, frame, and functional soundness evaluations prior to the sale.

The 2016 IPT Bull Sale offers some of the most elite bulls found anywhere in the United States as verified by their power scores. Highlighting the 2016 sale will be several genetic powerhouse bulls that have light birth weight, high growth, and carcass desirability.

Proven breed-leaders, AI sires, and legendary breed icons fill the pedigrees of the bulls. “There are truly unique combinations of performance, pedigree, and

phenotype offered through the sale,” Meteer said.

“All bulls will sell with genomic-enhanced EPDs,” he continued, “which increase the accuracy and reliability of the EPD values. All of this year’s consignors have consigned bulls to previous sales and represent some of the elite seedstock suppliers in Illinois and the Midwest. The bulls available on Feb. 25 are a direct result of generations of planned matings.”

The IPT Bull Sale catalog, along with supporting information, can be found online at www.IPTBullSale.com. The website contains all the pedigree information, adjusted weights, power scores and EPDs on seven different traits, and two dollar value indexes. In addition, there is a list of registration numbers for all the bulls that allow prospective buyers to print a “performance pedigree” from the breed associations. The website also provides more complete information on how the PS is calculated, as well as a summary of the past 47 IPT Bull Sales.

Online bidding will be offered through DV Auction. The sale is supported by University of Illinois Extension, University of Illinois Animal Science Department, Illinois Angus Association, Illinois Simmental Association, Vita-Ferm, Merial, Zoetis 50K and ABS. For more information on the sale or bulls consigned contact Travis Meteer at 217-430-7030 or email at wmeteer@gmail.com.

Nation & World

Red Cross CEO refuses Congress’ questions about scalebacks

By Justin Elliott ProPublica

The American Red Cross has failed to answer a congressman’s questions about deep cuts the charity has made to staff and local offices.

Rep. Bennie Thompson, the ranking member of the House homeland security committee, sent the charity a long list of questions after ProPublica recently revealed the cuts and detailed how they have eroded the Red Cross’ ability to respond to even modest disasters.

Red Cross CEO Gail McGovern responded in a letter late last month that she has tried to lower “the costs of delivering our services to the public — without diminishing the services themselves — and we believe we have achieved that goal.”

But McGovern did not answer basic questions about the cuts, including how many actual chapter

offices she has closed.

Today there are around 250 Red Cross chapters compared to 700 when McGovern was hired in 2008. But the charity has never said which chapter offices were closed and which were merely folded into a larger regional chapter.

McGovern also ignored Thompson’s question about how many emergency planners have told the Red Cross they are no longer incorporating the charity in their response plans.

As we reported, some local officials as well as former Red Cross staffers say the charity can no longer be relied on to respond to disasters.

Thompson, who has been pushing for more oversight of the Red Cross, told ProPublica that he is “troubled” by the lack of answers.

“While I appreciate the Red Cross’ submission of a response to my December letter, I am troubled that

questions were ignored and some of the responses provided were inconsistent with information from numerous media reports,” Thompson said in a statement. “I will continue my oversight of the Red Cross and will not stop until all questions are answered, and I am assured that the Red Cross is in the position to effectively carry out its mission in all communities across the United States.”

Asked about the charity’s failure to answer the congressman’s questions, a Red Cross spokesper-

son declined to comment.

The charity, which an official role in responding to disasters, has a history of avoiding outside scrutiny.

In 2014, McGovern tried to kill a investigation into the charity by the Government Accountability Office. After that failed and the inquiry went forward, the Red Cross didn’t provide full access to the government investigators.

If you have information about the Red Cross please email justin@propublica.org.

“While I appreciate the Red Cross’ submission of a response to my December letter, I am troubled that questions were ignored and some of the responses provided were inconsistent with information from numerous media reports.”

MLB Offseason

Sox add Latos to bolster back-end of rotation

By Ethan Spalding & James Fegan The Catbird Seat

In a bit of surprising news, the White Sox today signed SP Mat Latos to a 1 year, $3 million contract, Tuesday.

Latos, who pitched parts of last year with the Marlins, Dodgers, and Angels, is coming off his worst year as a professional, having pitched just 116.1 IP of 4.95 ERA ball in 2016. This, combined with his off the field reputation of being a bad dude (earned by him calling out the Reds’ coaching staff, among other things) is likely why he was signed for basically the same money as Felipe Paulino two years ago.

Not everything about Latos is negative, however. Though his last two years have been mired by injury and poor performance, he’s still just a few years removed from being a bona fide number-2 starter.

This is a pitcher who from 2010-2013 averaged 32 starts and 200 IP a season while maintaining a 3.27 ERA with San Diego and Cincinnati. While he is unlikely to achieve that level of performance again, there is some upside here, even if it’s much more likely he’s a back end guy at this juncture of his career if healthy.

Even in that case, there’s significant value in pushing Erik Johnson, Chris Beck, and Jacob

Turner one slot down on the depth chart. For $3 million, this almost seems like a no-brainer so long as a clubhouse that has already added Brett Lawrie can withstand a guy like Latos.

In this sense, Latos and Lawrie both seem to be the manifestation of an active attempt by Rick Hahn and co. to find talent that comes relatively cheap because of baggage tied to the players.

While holes have been filled, the onus is now on Robin Ventura to maintain steadiness in a clubhouse, something that has been cited as his best strength by people defending his continued employment. In an ideal world, a winning team makes this easy, but if things blow up, the 2016 White Sox may be even more painful to watch than past iterations of the team.

The best way to ensure things don’t blow up, of course, is to build a talented roster, and currently the White Sox seem almost there. The Avisail Garcia-sized hole in RF remains, however, and attempting to contend with a player who has shown no signs of being MLB-caliber seems quite ill advised.

Considering the substantial difference of that and starting, say, Dexter Fowler in the outfield every day, this one move seems to be the difference between an incomplete offseason and a great one by the White Sox.

Cuban brothers another Caribbean coup

The latest influx of Cuban talent comes from the brothers Yulieski and Lourdes Gurriel, whose shocking defection probably will not be a boon for what were seen as improving U.S.-Cuba baseball relations. In what was supposed to come off as an embittered statement, Cuba state media wound up perfectly distilling free agency by calling the defection “an open attitude of surrender to merchants of professional baseball for profit.”

Yulieski, 31, is pretty much regarded as the best player in Cuba, per Baseball America’s Ben Badler, and just put up a nutty .494/.586/.861 line with two strikeouts in 215 plate appearances. He’s well-regarded at third base but Badler thinks he could fill in at second as well. His brother Lourdes, 22, is more of a prospect, but would be an elite one at third base or shortstop.

As Badler reminds, the process for Cuban free agents getting cleared to sign is long and unpredictable, and a scenario where neither signs before the 2016 season is over. For Lourdes, who escapes the bonus pool restrictions if he waits until his 23rd birthday, Badler says the only thing that would lead him to sign before then would be

incompetent representation.

Not every Cuban star is Jose Abreu, Yasiel Puig, Aroldis Chapman or Yoenis Cespedes, but those guys have helped strip the fear away from the Cuban market.

Abreu doesn’t eviscerate the Serie Nacional or international competition and settle for $66 million if he comes out in 2016, and the less said about what Alexei Ramirez would have earned, the better for the mental health of the Sox fanbase. So while the Sox have made a reputation for staking out the Cuban market, I wonder if the appeal, or the sense of advantage is still there for them in a world where Hector Olivera got $62.5 million.

• Mau Rubio at 2080 Baseball listed Carson Fulmer among their 10 non-roster invites in Spring Training to watch. Rubio groups Fulmer with other White Sox fast-track sensations like Chris Sale and Carlos Rodon, and expects Fulmer to start in Triple-A to begin 2016.

Whether Fulmer is up for relief help late in the season or put in the unseemly position to try to patch up the rotation is probably dependent on Erik Johnson not flopping and the health of others.

Tales from the Trough

‘Hogs stumble through Week 18 Rockford returns home Sunday after rocky post-break showing

By Todd Reicher Contributor

After an incredible January, the IceHogs started out February, and their first week after the All-Star break, with a pair of losses to the Grand Rapids Griffins.

Friday’s game started out well for Rockford with Mike Liambas scoring his first goal of the season on an unassisted, short-handed marker 3:31 into the game.

Rockford’s lead only lasted 27 seconds when Mitch Callahan scored on the same power play to even up the score.

From then on, it was all Grand Rapids with the Griffins racking up a total of nine goals on the ‘Hogs.

While I am not one to complain about officiating, there were certainly some calls that should not have beenmade.Onesuchcallwasablatanttrippingpenalty on Colin Campbell for Grand Rapids that sent Tanner Kero down to the ice and into the boards. For some reason, referee Shaun Davis decided to call Kero for embellishment,sendinghimtotheboxaswell.Intotal, Rockford was called for 10 short-handed opportunities,12infractions,inwhichtheGriffinswouldconvert four of those into goals.

One unfortunate penalty was Kiril Gotovets receiving a major for boarding, along with a game misconduct 2:02 into the second period on Eric Tangradi. Tangradi lay on the ice for a few minutes before being helped off the ice with the help of Griffins medical staff. Tangradi would return late in the game, which was good to see.

Callahan would lead the way for the Griffins with a monstrous five-point game, consisting of three goals

and two assists.

Michael Leighton would be pulled from the game after giving up five goals on 21 shots. His replacement, Mac Carruth, did not fare any better, giving up four goals on 11 shots.

The Griffins would tally the first goal early on in the first period with a power play goal.

Mark McNeill, who had his nine-game scoring streak broken the previous night, would tie the score up at 1-1 with his 10th of the season Once again, the tie was short lived with Martin Frk scoring his second of the game just over two minutes after McNeill knotted the game up at one.

Just shy of the midway point of the second period, Kero would tie up the score, but yet again, Grand Rapids reclaimed the lead 47 seconds later.

Rockford would convert on a power play opportunity later in the second period to once again tie the score. Marko Dano converted on the attempt for his fourth of the season.

This time, the score would remain tied for quite some time – forcing the game to overtime.

Just 59 seconds into the extra session, Tomas Nosek scored on a rebound let out by Leighton to give the Griffins the extra point, sweeping the weekend series.

Rockford will only play two games again this week, with one road game and one home game. The road game is Friday at the Bradley Center against the Milwaukee Admirals, while the second game, a Sunday 4 p.m. meeting at the BMO, hosting the Griffins once again.

The Grand Rapids game is the first of three straight home games before Rockford embarks on a stretch of five straight road games, taking them to Milwaukee, Lake Erie and Grand Rapids.

IceHogs center Marko Dano, acquired by the Blackhawks in the Brandon Saad trade, has been a silent contributor for the IceHogs this season. Despite only accumulating 20 points 30 games, Dano shows a +15 rating, good for second place on the team. Todd Reicher

ment for Chicago to fit Ladd under the cap.

Ladd’s style of play and familiarity with Coach Q’s system would make him a great fit. Additionally, the price wouldn’t have to be too high.

A package like Shaw and a third-round pick could possibly get the deal done. Even if it took a first-round pick, Ladd would be a worthwhile addition, and make the team much better.

Jonathan Drouin, Tampa Bay Lightning

Superintendent Job Vacancy Veterans Assistance Commission of Winnebago County

Annual Salary

The third overall pick in the 2014 NHL Entry Draft has struggled to find a significant regular role with the Lightning. Head coach John Cooper is apprehensive about his game, and the team appears to think Drouin needs some time in the AHL to develop. Drouin disagrees, and in November he and his agent requested a trade.

Drouin would be a nearly perfect solution for the Blackhawks. He is an incredible offensive talent with elite potential. Those don’t become available via trade very often, and usually those trades work out much better for the team that receives the player.

There are two main concerns when it comes to Drouin. The first is his defensive play, which is often lacking. He sometimes seems completely uninterested in defense, which wouldn’t fly with Joel Quenneville, and hurts his fit with Toews and Hossa.

The other concern is the price. Again, players of Drouin’s caliber don’t become available very often, so Tampa Bay can demand a lot. Any potential deal from Chicago may need to be centered around Dano or Ville Pokka, and probably include a first round pick and a player like Shaw.

Kyle Okposo, New York Islanders

The New York Islanders are in the thick of the Eastern Conference playoff race right now. The East appears to be wide open, but the Islanders haven’t shown themselves to be a threat so far.

Winger Andrew Shaw is likely trade-bait for the Blackhawks as they gear up for another Cup run.

They’ll probably have to go through the dominant Washington Capitals and then likely either the Kings or Blackhawks to win the Cup. That’d take a lot of luck on their part. It’s not very likely that they make that run, so there’s a chance that they’d be willing to move Okposo, a pending unrestricted free agent.

Okposo is a big-bodied winger with a bit of snarl to his game and a goal scoring touch to boot. He may not be elite, but he’s a certified top-six player and would fit well with Toews and Hossa. He’s also inexpensive, with a cap hit of just $2.8 million.

This deal isn’t very likely, because it would require New York to give up hope of contending this season, which most teams are hesitant to do.

It’d also likely require trading a package like Shaw, Dano, and pick. That’d be a lot to give up for a player the Hawks would probably be unable to re-sign.

The Blackhawks have shown to be one of the best teams in the league this season, and are arguably the Cup favorite this season. But addressing the first line left wing spot would solidify their place as the favorite. These three players would be solid options that would help in doing so.

The time to move is now

The Blackhawks have the cap space and spare parts to shake up the roster at the deadline

By Adam Hess Contributor

T

he Chicago Blackhawks have operated for most of this season with a pretty glaring hole on their top line. While several players have had opportunities to play in the top line left wing position, only few have had continued success.

Teuvo Teravainen had some success there, but that left a major gap in the bottom six. Since he’s been moved to the third line, the lineup has found much more balance, so it’s unlikely we see Teuvo return there long term. Andrew Shaw has had success there recently, but he isn’t a top line forward and doesn’t represent a long-term solution at the spot.

Marko Dano was a candidate for call up and a potential fix at the top line left wing, but at this point it seems as though he will be staying in Rockford for the reminder of the season. So at this point, the Blackhawks only true option may be to seek outside help via trade.

Here are three players the Blackhawks could potentially trade for to slot with Toews and Hossa.

Andrew Ladd, Winnipeg Jets

The former Blackhawk and current captain of the Jets, Andrew Ladd appears set for departure out of Winnipeg. His contract negotiations have been a focus there for most of the season, but with the Jets re-signing Dustin Byfuglien to a 5-year, $38-million on Monday, Ladd’s fate appears sealed: he will likely be traded before the Feb. 29 deadline.

Ladd would fit in very well for the Blackhawks. He is not an expensive piece, with a cap hit of $4.4 million, and with the Blackhawks having $4 million available to them at the trade deadline, it wouldn’t take too much salary moveSee TRADES on Page 39 Winnipeg Jets captain Andrew Ladd, who won a Stanley Cup in 2010 with Chicago, checks all the boxes for the Hawks as a topline left wing option to pair with Jonathan Toews and Marian Hossa.
