Swedes’ specialists earn top heart accreditation

Swedish American Hospital’s Midwest Heart Specialists were recently granted an advanced accreditation recognizing their efforts to combat cardiovascular disease. Swedes’ specialists were granted a three-year term of accreditation in echocardiography (adult transthoracic) by the Intersocietal Accreditation Commission (IAC). “This accreditation shows that Midwest Heart Specialists’ operational and technical components have undergone a thorough review by a panel of experts,” said Swedes in a statement. Swedes, a division of the University of Wisconsin Health system, says that one American dies every 39 seconds of cardiovascular disease. “Early detection of life-threatening heart disorders and other diseases is possible through the use of echocardiography procedures,” the medical group said. “IAC accreditation is a ‘seal of approval’ that patients can rely on as an indication that the facility has been carefully critiqued on all aspects of operations considered relevant by medical experts in the field of echocardiography.” For more information visit swedishamerican.org.

If you build it, will it float? A By Frank Schier Editor & Publisher

re you ready for 50,000 spectators to line the Rock River to watch a race? Ladies and Gentlemen, start your mental paddles! Remember the Rock River Raft Race from the ‘70s, ‘80s and ‘90s? That race is reported to have 50,000 spectators in 1988. The contest is back as the Rock River Anything That Floats Race (RRATFR). Get ready to race your paddleboard, canoe, kayak or homemade raft. Yes, you. You could be a winning aqua-engineer, or at least a very fast paddler. Join in if you just want to have fun. We even have volunteer opportunities, complete with free t-shirts. Those on land have been known to have as much fun as those on the water. For a paltry sum ($15 for kayakers, canoeists, paddleboarders, and $100 for rafts), you or a “crew” can be contestants in this benefit race for the Rockford Fourth of July and Holiday Lighting Committee, the Rock River Trail Initiative, and the Ski Broncs. Start visualizing your winning performance on Sunday, August 21, from 8 a.m.-3 p.m. Our rain date is the following week (8/28/2016). The course is 1.65 miles long (officially known as a “Frank Mile”; ask famous kayaker and photographer Nels Akerlund for the technical explanation). Boat launching will be at the old Coast Guard Station and craft will be staged at the mouth of the Spring Creek; the creek’s effluence has created shallows perfect to assemble the racers and test the “floatability” of aqua-engineers’ creative efforts. The starting line is the north side of the Auburn Street Bridge, and the finish line is the northern-most dock at the Prairie Street Brewhouse. Watercraft will be taken out at the Prairie Street Brewhouse boat ramp, which might be very entertaining as well. Spectators may enjoy the race from the Auburn Street Bridge, the Whitman Street Bridge, and along the Rockford Park District’s Sinnissippi Bike Path to the Prairie Street Brewhouse. Get out those picnic baskets and blankets, table coolers, lawn chairs and binoculars. Feeling peppy? Walk along, run along, skateboard along, in-line skate along, or bike along the bike path and keep up with the racers! Stop for treats. Organized by Cathy McDermott of downtown’s famous Friday City Market, various local vendors and sponsors will be presenting their services and products at the parking lots adjacent to the Symbol structure, the Nicholas Conservatory and on the grounds of the Prairie Street Brewhouse. Watch these pages for more specifics about the treats that will be available. How, you may ask, will the Rock River Anything That Floats Race be organized?

Upcoming Rock River Trail events for 2016

Mark your calendar for 10,000 free bur and swamp oak trees coming your way for the sixth year in a row April 13-16. The Rock River Trail Initiative (RRTI) will distribute these gifts from Chad Pregracke’s Living Lands and Waters’ Million Trees Project. For contributions like these, Pregracke won the title “CNN

Answer: This is a four division race featuring kayaks, canoes, paddleboards and rafts. The first division is a kayak contest beginning at 9 a.m., with doubles boats, followed by single boats at 9:30. The second division is a canoe race beginning at 10:30 a.m., with doubles boats, followed by single boats at 11 a.m. The third division is paddleboards beginning at noon. Beginning at 1 p.m., the fourth division may be “The Funnest,” consisting of home-made rafts with no internal or external propulsion engines of any kind besides human power. Wooohooo! How many of your smiling memories can go back to the last Rock River Raft Race in 1998? Do you know the story about how it started? Graham Spencers’ Jay Graham said Debbie Best and Jan Thorpe, who were members of WROK/ZOK staff at the time and on the original Raft Race organizing committee confirmed the story the idea was hatched in a bar... In 1976, John R. W. Walin, a WROK/ZOK disc jockey, spent an evening in the

Hero of the Year 2014.” The distribution through the 11 counties of the Rock River will begin April 13 in the Quad Cities up to above the Horicon Marsh in Wisconsin on April 15. Distribution in Winnebago County will be on Saturday, April 16, with the main location being the Rockford Park District Trolley Station at the Riverveiw Ice House at 11 a.m. Volunteers needed.

Sweden House bar with a British gentleman who was visiting Rockford [who was probably doing business with Sundstrand]. Many cocktails later, they had dreamt up the idea of a US vs. The British raft race as a fun promo for the radio station. Walin took the idea to the Noltes, who owned the radio stations. They said, ‘go for it.’ And the Rock River Raft Race was born. Remember, 1976 was our Bicentennial year, thus the Brit vs. US theme. In fact, for the first couple years, there were only two ‘teams:’ the British vs. the Americans. Going into the third year, the stations realized the concept was getting stale and the staff decided to open it up to ‘the public’ and host a variety of divisions. That’s when it was expanded into the ‘Anything That Floats’ idea. A few years later WROK/ ZOK decided to make the 4th of July fireworks the benefactor of race proceeds as a nod toward the original idea of the ‘Brits vs the Americans.’ And, the rest, as they say, is legend.” By popular demand with the need to create a new nostalgia and more fun, a committee was formed to discuss and recreate the event. Those committee members are: Chris Manuel, Rockford Brewing Company; Tyler Smith, Rockford Park District Board of Commissioners/ Tyler’s Landscaping; Jay Graham, Graham Spencer; Frank Schier, The Rock River Times/Rock River Trail Initiative; Cathy McDermott, City Market; Mike Paterson, MidWest Family Broadcasting; Amy McIntyre, Rockford Park District; Ted O’Donnell, Rockford Fourth of July and Holiday Lighting Committee; Gary Anderson, GWAnderson Architects/River District Association; Josh Albrecht and Andrea Mandalay, Rockford Area Convention and Visitors Bureau; Reed Sjostrom, Rockford Brewing Company; Nels Akerlund, Nels Akerlund Photography and Video LLC; Cat Akerman, Prairie Street Brewhouse; Geoff Oman, Fehr Graham Engineering & Environmental; Steve Lucas, Rock River Enterprises and Barge; and Sheriff Gary Caruana, Winnebago County. Safety will be provided by Rockford Fire Department, Winnebago County Sheriff ’s Department, the Ski Broncs and various volunteers. Vendor inquiries are being accepted by Cathy McDermott at cathy.mcdermott@rrdp.org. Sponsorship inquiries are being accepted by Mike Paterson at mpaterson@rmgmwf.com. For all paddlers and rafters, a Captains’ Meeting will be held Monday, August 15 at 6 p.m. at the Prairie Street Brewhouse. Chris Manuel will brief the raft captains, and Nels Akerlund will brief the kayakers, canoeists and paddleboarders. Entry inquiries are being accepted by Chris Manuel: chris@rockfordbrewingco.com. Deadline for registration is August 15.

Also mark your calendar for the Rock River Sweep on Saturday, Sept. 10. Help the RRTI and RockRiverSweep.org clean up our backyard river. Join in with the Keep Northern Illinois Clean and Beautiful, Rockford Park District, Ski Broncs, Illinois Paddling Association, Rockford Brewing Company, Tad’s On The Rock, and many more sponsoring organizations. Last year, more than $3,000 in prizes were awarded for

everything from the most garbage, to the weirdest cleanup costume, the dirtiest cleaner upper, and the weirdest or biggest piece of garbage. This year more than $5,000 in prizes have been pledged. More sponsors and volunteers needed. Kayakers and canoeists are really needed for the area south of Rockford to Bryon. Please e-mail contact@rockrivertimes. com with any donations, questions, or to volunteer.

Black History Month

A great silent leader in our community This month we celebrate Black History, a month set aside to honor some of the most influential Black Leaders or people who have made great contributions to our society. Such people do include Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Rosa Parks, Booker T. Washington, Malcolm X, Harriet Tubman, Shirley Chisholm, the list goes on and on and on. All these are very well known, but there are great silent leaders in our community, here in Rockford, Illinois. This year I tell the story of Pastor Marie Mitchell, Temple of God Holiness Church. She and Elder Mitchell have had nearly 100 foster children come through their doors. They have raised several until adulthood. She always gives love and the teaching of the Bible. I’ve witnessed some of these children staying in her life and having

children of their own. The children call her Grandma and Elder Mitchell, PaPa. She is a woman who prays daily for her country, family and leaders of the world. She is a fine example of God’s love. Pastor Marie Mitchell will be 82 years old on Sunday, February 21 and her last child just returned home to his father. She had him since the day of his birth even though the people said she was too old, “you can’t handle another child.” She took him in for two years and raised him in the church while the father got himself together, got a home, went to classes and got on the required medicine. I’ve witnessed her feeding the hungry and giving clothes to the less fortunate. She visits the sick in the hospitals and nursing homes. She is always praying. I know of these things because she has helped me

when I was at my low point in life. As a Veteran, I suffered from many illnesses. She helps my family by telling us how much God loves us. I witnessed this family miracle because the boy was my son Michael Prunty and the lost soul was me, Floyd Prunty Jr. I call her Moma and Elder Mitchell, Papa, so does my son and most of the church members. By far, Pastor Marie Mitchell in our community is a person worthy of Black History. Pastors, foster children, 100 plus, and other clergy all agree, she’s a woman after God’s heart. Pastor Marie Mitchell is truly one of the unsung heroes of our day. Come visit her at Temple of God Holiness C.O.G.I.C Church, 813 Concord Ave. Floyd Prunty, Jr. Voice of the Community

Former MLB All-Star voices need for private funds in key services as state budget impasse drags on By Matt Williams

Contributor

aking life one day at a time can be important advice for a baseball player during the long grind of a 162-game season. But for former Chicago Cubs pitcher Ryan Dempster, it has a little added meaning. In 2009, Dempster’s daughter, Riley, was born with 22q deletion syndrome, a genetic condition that can cause a variety of health and developmental disorders. About 1 in 2,000 children are affected by 22q, making it second only to Down syndrome in rate of occurrence. “You can get caught up that this is happening and this tough, but you have to keep your head up,” Dempster said. “Kids are so resilient, and honestly it’s tougher for the parents.” Dempster will share his story as guest speaker for Rockford MELD’s annual Celebrity Evening from 5:30-9 p.m. Feb. 25 at Giovanni’s Restaurant, 610 Bell School Road. “It’s important and something that I enjoy doing, sharing my story,” Dempster said. “I talk about the unfortunate circumstances and how to respond to that.” His daughter’s story is what led him to start the Dempster Family Foundation to raise awareness for 22q and help families going through it. Dempster said he learned from veteran players early in his career that giving back to the community is an important part of being a

professional athlete. He said the Cubs organization sets the example from the top. “The Ricketts family is so involved with their charities and help people who are less fortunate,” Dempster said. “I try to pass those lessons down to other guys. It just becomes contagious and guys see the results and it turn into this really great thing.” MELD provides programs and services for young parents and their children, including temporary housing and life and jobs skills training. Karen Tilly, director of development and public relations for MELD, said Dempster was a perfect choice for their annual event because of the Cubs popularity and Dempster’s sense of humor. Tilly said it’s an important fundraiser for the nonprofit organization. “This is huge, especially with no funds coming from the state for some of our programs,” she said. Dempster, now back with Cubs as a special assistant to team president Theo Epstein and general manager Jed Hoyer, is excited to see a young Cubs team that many expect to compete for a World Series. “It’s pretty awesome, and these kids are extremely talented,” Dempster said. “I know how much fun these guys are having especially after how close they came last season.” Dempster said despite the high expectations for the team, they need to work on one goal at a time. “You have a checklist,” he said. “You can talk about the World Series, but it starts with the first goal of winning the division. We have the team that can do it.” Tickets for the event, which includes a silent auction and dinner, are $75 per person or $700 for a table of 10. A VIP meet greet with autographed baseballs is from 5:30-7. Cost is $125 a person or $1,100 for a table. For more information or to make reservations, go online at rockfordmeld.org or call 815-963-6353 ext. 10.

State

Dems again pass arbitration bill By Mark Fitton

Illinois News Network

SPRINGFIELD – House Democrats on Tuesday again passed a bill that could send the stalled contract talks between Gov. Bruce Rauner and the state’s biggest employee unions to a panel of arbitrators. However, Democrats remain a handful of votes short of override strength should the Republican governor veto the bill as expected. After a long and sometimes testy debate Tuesday afternoon, the House passed HB 580 to the Senate on a vote of 67 to 46 with two members voting present and three members not voting. Rauner vetoed a nearly identical measure in the fall. While the Senate approved an override motion, House Democrats came up three votes short of the 71 votes needed in that chamber. House Bill 580 would let arbitrators decide between the state’s and the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees’ final contract offers. Democrats says the measure is designed to protect state employees and keep state government open and providing services. The GOP says it’s an unconstitutional move to strip Rauner of his authority to negotiate on behalf

of the citizens who elected him and would mean taxpayer-funded gift to big unions of $3 billion or more over the life of a four-year contract — all while the state is in fiscal crisis. Sponsoring Rep. Emanuel Chris Welch, D-Hillside, said his bill represents a fair way to untangle the year-long and so-far unproductive talks between Rauner’s team and that of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees. If the administration can’t live with the decision of three arbitrators — one chosen by the governor’s administration, one by the union and the third drawn from a Labor Relations Board pool — the governor and only the governor can reject the arbitrators’ decision and make each side return to the bargaining table, Welch said. But Republicans questioned the fairness of that arrangement, with House GOP leader Jim Durkin of Western Springs saying that puts the Labor Relations board or “third arbitrator” in a position of making the decision. Durkin said 52 of the 54 eligible arbitrators in the current ILRB pool were appointed during the tenures of Democratic governors Rod Blagojevich and Pat Quinn. “I think it’s a direct conflict with the governor’s authority,” said Durkin. “It takes him out of what

I believe is his inherent role to negotiate labor contracts, as every other governor has, on behalf of the taxpayers of Illinois.” State Rep. Peter Breen, R-Lombard, also said the bill represented a “heads I win, tails you lose” deal to the unions. Under HB 580, the union could — even in its worst-case scenario — string the talks out for three more years and essentially keep working under terms of the contract that expired at the end of June and which the state cannot afford to continue, Breen argued. Welch said Rauner had himself to thank for the bind. “I think this keeps the governor at the table, where he said he would be until he broke his promise,” Welch said. But Republicans countered Rauner has lived up to the terms of agreements signed by the parties. Those “tolling agreements” say that should either side believe impasse has been reached, either can ask the Labor Relations Board for a ruling. Rauner in January did that, saying the administration believed the two sides had hit impasse, or the point at which further talks would prove fruitless. Democrats argue Rauner is intent on declaring impasse so he could put his administration’s

terms in place and force a strike, thereby breaking the union. “The bottom line is you have a governor who came into office after declaring that like Ronald Reagan he was going go to break the union by creating a strike situation,” said Rep. Christian Mitchell, D-Chicago. “Now, when you start with that negotiating position, you are inherently not negotiating in good faith.” The governor has said he won’t lock anyone out and and denies seeking a strike. His administration argues the contract terms sought by AFSCME and a half-dozen allied unions is unaffordable given the state’s debt, deficit spending and declining revenue. “If it becomes law, it will dig Illinois’ fiscal hole even deeper, further squeezing social services and, ironically, it will lead to layoffs,” Rauner spokesman Lance Trover said in a statement released Tuesday afternoon. Trover called the measure a tax-hike masquerading as a labor bill. “Public service workers want an agreement that’s fair to all,” AFSCME Council 31 Executive Director Roberta Lynch said in item on the union’s website. “Submitting our differences to an independent third party can ensure working people are treated fairly and public services are not disrupted.”

Energy & Environment

Clean power plan put on hold by SCOTUS By Drs. Robert & Sonia Vogl

President and Vice President, Illinois Renewable Energy Association

pponents of the EPA Clean Power Plan won a temporary victory before the U.S. Supreme Court when five conservative judges voted in favor of a delay in implementing the plan. Four liberal judges who supported the Plan opposed the delay. The Clean Power Plan requires states and utilities to reduce their reliance on coal fired power plants and make more use of natural gas, solar and wind energy sources to reduce carbon emissions. The overall goal of the Plan calls for a gradual reduction in carbon emissions to reach 32 percent of 2005 levels by 2030 based on Federally approved state plans. In the December Paris meeting, The Clean Power Plan was offered as evidence by President Obama of our nation’s commitment to cutting carbon emissions and served to urge other nations to implement similar plans in their countries. States supporting the plan and their allies rely primarily on renewable energy, natural gas and nuclear to provide their electricity. They value the plan for its economic and environmental benefits. States opposing the plan and their allies

depend on coal mining or use coal to generate electricity to drive their economies. They cite adverse impacts on their economics and postulate the plan exceeds EPA authority and intrudes on states’ rights. They see no need to invest in plans now which they see as likely to be overturned. The Supreme Court ruling is unprecedented in that it had never granted a request to halt a regulation before it was reviewed by a Federal appeals court. The Federal Court of Appeals, which had denied opponents’ initial request for a stay in implementing the Clean Power Plan, is holding another hearing on the matter which is set for next June. Since the Appeals Court had previously denied a stay on the matter it seems likely that they would uphold earlier decisions. If opponents of the Clean Power Plan lose in the Appeals Court, the case is likely to be appealed to the Supreme Court once again. The initial Supreme Court ruling is taken as revealing substantial judicial skepticism on the part of judges to support delaying implementation of the plan. The legal battles are seen as continuing past President Obama’s term and are likely to need resolution by the following administration. However, if the next presidency does not

support the plan, it would have significant implications for international efforts at cutting carbon emissions. No matter what the outcome of the legal battle, the need to reduce carbon emissions to curtail the adverse consequences of climate change will not disappear. Delay will only add to the future costs of dealing with the problem. Older coal plants are closing down rather than being retrofitted to

comply with federal regulations to reduce mercury, nitrous oxide and sulfur dioxide emissions. The adverse economic effects from closing older plants are already being felt around the nation, including Illinois, with jobs and tax revenues lost with their closing. But economic benefits and new jobs and revenue streams are occurring as cleaner sources of energy are implemented. Reach the Vogls at sonia@essex1.com.

An exciting Night of Vinyl By Anne E. O’Keefe Rockford Area Arts Council

The Rockford Area Arts Council is a longtime fan, first time participant in a collaboration with four awesome local businesses. RAAC is the beneficiary of proceeds raised at The Night of Vinyl on March 4 starting at 7 p.m. at the Nordlof Center, 118 N. Main St. Four local, independent record stores will be transforming Rockford Public Library’s Nordlof Center lobby into a one-nightpop-up-record shop. This event focuses on collaboration rather than competition between Culture Shock Clothing & Records, 2239 Charles Street; Toad Hall, 2106 Broadway; Kate’s Pie Shop and Record Store, 6685 East State; and CD Source, 221 East State. They will have vinyl for sale before showing the award

winning documentary All Things Must Pass - The Rise and Fall of Tower Records at 8 p.m. All Things Must Pass took Colin Hanks on a seven year production journey to tell the story of Tower Records. Established in 1960, Tower Records was once a retail powerhouse with 200 stores, in 30 countries, on five continents. From humble beginnings in a small-town drugstore, Tower Records eventually became the heart and soul of the music world, and a powerful force in the music industry. All Things Must Pass is a feature documentary film examining this iconic company’s explosive trajectory, tragic demise, and legacy forged by its rebellious founder Russ Solomon. Before the show, guests will hear DJ Fuzz (Daniel Minick, owner of Octane) spinning vinyl while they dig through the pop-up-record-shops and

enjoy a cash bar by Kryptonite. Kate Sullivan, Kate’s Pie Shop and Record Store, is thrilled to be participating again this year. “What can I say? Vinyl rocks!” Precisely, Kate. The record store owners collectively and strongly feel that encouraging music and arts in the lives of children makes an invaluable impact on the future of our community. “As record store owners, we see it more than usual; music and arts are the fabric of our society. Crime and violence has held a notable presence in Rockford’s youth in the recent news. We knew we could use our event to shed a light on organizations who are reaching out to children in creative ways,” says Lauren Davis, co-owner of Culture Shock, and organizer of The Night of Vinyl. Davis went on to say, “Rockford Area Arts

Council is creating safe spaces and opportunities for children to find and grow their natural ability to create art, dance, or music. This is so important.” Donations will be accepted for admission (suggested $5 per person) and all net proceeds will benefit the Rockford Area Arts Council’s programs encouraging children from any family, any neighborhood, and any background to have access to the arts. RAAC is happy to be working with these owners in a one night event centered around the love of music and appreciate of vinyl. We worked with each of them as individual organizations at one time or another but their collaborative spirit is truly inspirational.

WNIJ Presents For Better or Verse

A valentine lasts longer than a day When WNIJ asked for relationship-themed poems for Valentine’s Day 118 listeners responded. It made for a busy weekend for contest judge, Dr. Susan Porterfield. Porterfield, a poet and Rockford University professor, selected six winners who were featured on Morning Edition, February 8-13, 2016. Since the true spirit of Valentine’s Day lasts longer than a box of chocolates, WNIJ and The Rock River Times will present one more winning poem for the next five weeks to help keep Cupid’s heart on your mind. • • • • • The title of this haiku is “(Haiku),” which seems to signal that the writer wants to stress the light or casual nature of the piece and its content. But as is true of most haiku, the apparent simplicity may hide complexity. Japanese haiku usually avoid metaphoric language and image, which are common tools for the Western poet, in favor of direct viewing—of just saying what the writer observes, but the outward simplicity of the language and directness of the observation may gain layers of meaning when one line of the poem is juxtaposed or comprehended against the backdrop of another of its lines. Here’s an example from the great Zen poet, Issa.

(Haiku)

By Ian Marshall

Of course I love you You have meant the world to me Netflix and chill now?

Where there are humans You’ll find flies, And Buddhas. In the haiku that I chose, the writer follows the form fairly closely; the poem consists of the required three lines, containing the usual number of syllables per line, that is, 5-7-5, and it also contains a turning point or transition in the second line, which is characteristic of the haiku form. It is this line that I think makes the poem a bit more mysterious or complex. By using the past tense here, the speaker may be revealing that all may not be well. Telling someone that “You have meant the world to me” is different from “You mean the world to me.” That line, followed by the word “chill” in the third line makes one think. Also, the poem is initiated by the writer’s being asked the question, “Do you love me?” though we don’t hear the query, only the writer’s response, which is the poem itself. But why is this question asked of the writer in the first place? We are left to wonder. I like that we don’t really know. –Dr. Susuan Porterfield

Tube Talk – Of Kings and Masters By Paula Hendrickson

her artistry, and where her creativity has led her. King isn’t the only one celebrating a big anniversary this year. American Masters is marking its 30th season in style with well-made documentaries about an A-list roster of great performers. Okay, so that’s nothing new for American Masters. Actually, it’s business as usual. Over the decades, American Masters has won 28 Emmys, 12 Peabody Awards, and even an Oscar. (Yes, an Oscar. That’s because some documentaries first debut at film festivals, they’re eligible for Academy Awards.) The 30th season began last month with a documentary on the life of comedic genius-turned-director Mike Nichols (directed by his former comedy partner, Elaine May), and last week showcased the talents and life story of B.B. King. Upcoming subjects include Fats Domino, Loretta Lynn, Janis Joplin, and the country super group, The Highwaymen. With so many musical acts featured this season, not only will you be exposed to some amazing music, you’ll learn the backstories of how some classic songs came to be.

Television Columnist

o matter your age, you’ve probably heard more of Carole King’s music than you might realize. She started out as a young songwriter in the early ‘60s, penning hits like Will You Love Me Tomorrow for The Shirelles, Up on the Roof for The Drifters, and (You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman which was immortalized by Aretha Franklin. If none of those songs ring a bell, you probably know King as the woman who wrote, and also performed – with her daughter – the theme song for Gilmore Girls, Where You Lead. Forty-five years ago King had several hits of her own, thanks to her breakthrough album Tapestry, which included classic songs like You’ve Got a Friend, So Far Away, and It’s Too Late. The album earned her multiple Grammys. Then a couple years ago, Beautiful, a Broadway musical about King’s life – and centered on her music – broke box office records and garnered two Tony Awards. (If you’re interested in seeing it live, the national touring company of Beautiful is currently performing at Chicago’s Oriental Theater.) King, who celebrated her 74th birthday last week, will be featured on the February 19 episode of American Masters on PBS. The program includes performance footage, home movies, and special interviews with King, her friends, plus fellow songwriters and performers. Tune in to learn how her early years shaped and inspired

Programming Notes

American Masters airs on PBS, so times may vary depending on the PBS channel you watch. Upcoming episodes include Carole King on February 19, Fats Domino on February 26, and Loretta Lynn on March 4. Follow Paula on Twitter: @P_Hendrickson.

Rockford Rocked sits down with Sunset Strip’s Von Blazin By Todd Houston Exclusive to TRRT

Rockford Rocked Interview: The Eighties. The Decade of Decadence marked by big hair and big guitar bands. When bandanas were a rock fashion statement, when clubs featuring live music were plentiful and everyone seemed to be having way too much fun. Eventually rock music became as depressing as a typical rainy day in Seattle. Fast forward to 2016 and enter the ‘80s metal/rock tribute band Sunset Strip. RRI: You guys play all ‘80s covers staying true to the original music and nailing the vocals and guitar solos. How did you go about finding the right caliber of musicians for the band and who are they? Scotty Von Blazin: Thanks for the compliment. We take great pride in authentically reproducing all the sights and sounds of a rock concert back in the ‘80s. It’s no easy task! We’ve spent thousands of dollars and countlesshoursrehearsingandstudyingallthosebands by watching their videos to get their looks, choreography,attitudeandshowmanship downasbest as we can. SVB: The band was started by Fret Michaels (guitar) and Chico Torres (drums) who were in another

local Rockford area band together. They found Jill Jett (Keys&Vox–formerlyofRockfordareaJourneyTribute, Frontiers) and Jimi Lloyd (bass), shortly thereafter through some mutual friends. I came in about a year after the band was already out performing live. RRI: What was it about ‘80s rock/metal music that made it fun and made people want to be a part of it? SVB: I think like any genre, it has its place. The thing about the ‘80s hairband scene is these bands took the best of the early pioneers like Kiss and Cheap Trick, and just went completely over the top in every aspect. The shows were more than just “watching” a band play songs; they were events. RRI: Are you surprised by the number of people that come out to see you guys on a regular basis? SVB: It’s pretty amazing. When I started out with these guys, we were barely drawing 20 people consistently. Word spread pretty quickly around the Rockford scene and it’s become this juggernaut that just keeps picking up steam. We’ve been fortunate to continually expand our fan base roaming outside of the Rockford area into the Chicago market now too. In additiontothat,we’redoingsomedatesatbars,casinos

and festivals in Indiana as well. We’re grateful for all the love and support that our fans give us. RRI: You guys wear all the cool makeup, spandex and Aquanet onstage and put on a great show. You also have fun names like Fret Michaels and Scotty Von Blazin. Who chooses the set list for a typical Sunset Strip show? SVB: We all have input into the show. Our songs are a conglomeration of picks by each of us as well as our fans. We’ve also scoured countless online polls of the Top ‘80s Hairband Songs of All-Time to pick songs too. We try to have a little something for everyone. There are staples like Sweet Child O’Mine from Guns N’ Roses and Living on a Prayer by Bon Jovi that we have to do. RRI: Looking back, what was it that made bands like Warrant, Ratt and Great White lose their appeal to kids during the beginning of the 1990s? SVB: My opinion is that it was oversaturation. As with anything, too much is never a good thing. But look how things have come full circle. RRI: Sunset Strip is up for several categories for the upcoming 2016 RAMI awards. Thoughts?

SVB: We’re honored to be nominated with so many other talented musicians/bands out there. It’s humbling and rewarding to see the fruits of all our hard work being recognized by the Rockford Area Music Industry as well as the fans and community. We’re keeping our fingers crossed that we can walk away with an award for sure! RRI: Favorite metal album of all time? SVB: Mine is probably Shout at the Devil by Motley Crue. It blew me away when it was released. RRI: David Lee Roth or Sammy Hagar? SVB: Tough one. They’re both masters of their own craft. I’d personally say Roth though since he was pretty much the epitome of what an ‘80s frontman should be. RRI: If push came to shove which show would you choose to watch in its entirety, MacGyver or Knots Landing? SVB: MacGyver for sure. There was an episode once where he turned a squeaky clean college girl into a groupie with nothing more than two backstage passes to a Poison concert, hairspray, ripped jeans and a fifth of vodka. It was impressive.

Commentary

Scalia: more quotable than influential

By Robert Schapiro The Conversation

ustice Antonin Scalia will be remembered for his brilliant intellect, his acerbic wit and his insistence on interpreting law by reference to text and history. He was long the intellectual leader of the conservative wing of the United States Supreme Court. However, he often seemed more interested in being a leader than in having followers. He was no coalition builder, and as evidenced by his losses in the court’s major decisions last term, his jurisprudence is, in my view, likely to have limited impact. As someone who had the privilege of clerking on the Supreme Court (for Justice John Paul Stevens) during Justice Scalia’s tenure, I will continue to enjoy my memories of Justice Scalia’s dynamic interaction with clerks. As a professor of constitutional law, I will continue to study and to teach Justice Scalia’s incisive opinions. When it comes to learning how courts actually interpret the law, though, the majority opinions on which my class focuses are unlikely to be those written by Justice Scalia.

Champion of new conservatism

Justice Scalia was appointed to the court by President Ronald Reagan in 1986 at a pivotal time for the conservative movement. Throughout the 1960s and 1970s, judicial conservativism generally meant adherence to precedent and reluctance to invalidate legislative acts. However, the conservative movement of the 1980s sought instead to undo prior liberal decisions and to limit the power of the national government by rigorously scrutinizing federal statutes. Justice Scalia served as a perfect champion of these new conservative ideals. He embraced “originalism,” the idea that insists that the Constitution must be interpreted by reference to its meaning at the time of its adoption. This approach rejects the idea that new rights may emerge over time. He also endorsed textualism, which interprets statutes by focusing solely on their language,

rather than the legislature’s overall purpose in enacting them. By refusing to attend to the purpose of legislation, textualism imposes a substantial burden on the legislature to draft complex statutes with exacting precision. These interpretive swords of originalism and textualism allowed Justice Scalia both to attack liberal precedents that had strayed from what he understood as the Constitution’s historic meaning and to limit the scope of governmental power. Justice Scalia swung his interpretive swords with notable gusto, and his style and substance achieved some notable victories. His colleagues, as well as advocates before the court, knew that references to legislative history, committee reports or other indications of legislative purpose would draw his ire. Singlehandedly, he changed the way in which statutes were discussed in the United States Supreme Court. Beginning in the 1990s, a new conservative majority on the Supreme Court limited the power of the national government, striking down or narrowing important federal legislation such as the Violence Against Women Act, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act and the Voting Rights Act. Writing for the court in District of Columbia v. Heller in 2008, Justice Scalia relied on the original meaning of the Constitution in finding a Second Amendment right for an individual to possess a handgun. In the Citizens United case in 2010, the court upended decades of precedent to restrict Congress’ ability to regulate the financing of political campaigns.

Limited victories

But Scalia’s victories were limited. His style did not always ingratiate him with potential allies on the court. He did not mince words, and he attacked the opinions of other justices, liberal and conservative alike, with unusual ferocity. In Webster v. Reproductive Health Services in 1989, three years after joining the court, Justice Scalia famously attacked Justice Sandra Day O’Connor. In this important abortion case, Justice Scalia criticized Justice O’Connor’s opin-

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.

ion as “irrational” and argued that a particular assertion of hers “cannot be taken seriously.” Three years later, Justice Scalia ended up on the losing side of Planned Parenthood v. Casey, as Justice O’Connor coauthored an opinion for a five-justice majority reaffirming the right to an abortion. In 2015, finding himself in dissent in the year’s most significant cases, Justice Scalia’s vitriol reached new heights. He derided the majority opinion of Chief Justice John Roberts, which upheld certain subsidies under the Affordable Care Act or “Obamacare.” Referring to this and a previous opinion by the chief justice upholding the ACA, Justice Scalia sniped, “We should start calling this law SCOTUS care.” Attacking the sometimes lofty rhetoric of the majority opinion by Justice Anthony Kennedy in the same-sex marriage case, Justice Scalia wrote that if he ever joined an opinion with that kind of language, “I would hide my head in a bag.” And these were his comments directed at justices who generally voted with him. While Justice Scalia’s caustic style may have been off-putting to some justices, what was more significant was that his interpretive approach failed to win over his colleagues. The last term of the court made that failure clear. In King v. Burwell, a strict reading of the text of the Affordable Care Act would seem to have authorized federal subsidies only for health care exchanges established by states, not for those established by the federal government in states that refused to create exchanges. If textualism had prevailed, the scope of federal power would have been limited, in this case by potentially gutting the ACA. But Chief Justice Roberts instead applied traditional principles of statutory interpretation and looked to the overall purpose of the legislative scheme. By a 6-3 vote, Scalia’s textualism lost, and the ACA won. From the perspective of the six-justice majority, it made no sense to focus solely on the words of one section, instead of the larger goals of the legislation. In this approach, the court acts as Congress’ partner, not its censor.

A mixed legacy

Justice Scalia’s focus on beginning any interpretation with the text of a statute may endure, but his rejection of other interpretive guides never found a lasting home on the court. Even in his lifetime, his brand of textualism could not earn majority support. He changed how advocates and judges talk about statutes, but not how they ultimately interpret them. His attempt to reorient interpretation of the Constitution similarly failed to achieve lasting success. Obergefell v. Hodges, for example, the case affirming a right to same-sex marriage, constituted a dramatic repudiation of Justice Scalia’s originalism. For Justice Scalia, the disposition was easy: “When the Fourteenth Amendment was ratified in 1868, every state limited marriage to one man and one woman, and no one doubted the constitutionality of doing so. That resolves these cases.” But for the five-justice majority, the rights of loving couples to marry today could not be resolved simply by reference to the views of people who lived 150 years ago. Contrary to Justice Scalia’s originalism, Justice Kennedy’s majority opinion understood the Constitution as entrusting to, “future generations a charter protecting the right of all persons to enjoy liberty as we learn its meaning.” The idea of a “living Constitution,” always anathema to Justice Scalia, prevailed. Justice Scalia’s opinions, full of erudition, wit, and occasional vitriol, will long be quoted and will fill the pages of legal textbooks. But the memorable opinions will largely be dissents. His lasting influence will be found in admirers off the court, not in adherents on the bench. He was the champion of a movement that achieved many of its goals but did not succeed in fundamentally reshaping the law in the United States. He will go down in history, in my view, as one of the most quotable justices, but not one with the deepest impact. Robert Schapiro is the Dean of Law at Emory University.

Not working, not winning

By Rich Miller Capitol Fax

President Barack Obama seemed to admit almost right from the start of his address to the Illinois General Assembly last week about the need for a more civil politics that he probably wouldn’t sway his audience, which has been bickering amongst itself for over a year. Obama talked about his first Illinois Senate speech, after which Republican Senate President Pate Philip “sauntered” over to his desk, slapped him on the back and said, “Kid, that was a pretty good speech. In fact, I think you changed a lot of minds. But you didn’t change any votes.” Frankly, after months without any progress in Springfield, I’d settle for a few changed minds. But I’m not even sure a single mind was changed. Instead, the speech gave people on both entrenched sides just enough ammo to bolster their cases against the other. Predictably, Obama weighted the argument in favor of his own policy views, bringing up his support for union collective bargaining, which Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner has repeatedly attacked. But he threw just enough bones at the Republicans to allow them to issue statements like the

one from GOP state Rep. Barb Wheeler: “The President reiterated what the Governor and others have said before, without compromise we cannot govern.” It might come as a shock to Democrats, but the vast majority of Republicans truly believe that Rauner has tried to compromise and the Democrats are refusing to budge. So, the President’s words were music to their ears. Obama said he believed many Republicans “share” many of his values, adding, “And where I’ve got an opportunity to find some common ground, that doesn’t make me a sellout to my own party.” At that moment, Rep. Ken Dunkin, D-Chicago, jumped from his seat and yelled “Heck yeah!” Dunkin has portrayed himself as diligently working to move things forward by cooperating with Gov. Rauner. But he’s been thrashed by his fellow Democrats for being a “sellout” to the wealthy Republican governor by suddenly flip-flopping on issues and voting against his party’s values, including union rights. “Well, we’ll talk later, Dunkin, you just sit down,” Obama said to uproarious applause. “One thing I’ve learned is folks don’t change.” The line was a devastating slash at Dunkin,

who Obama dealt with when he was still in the General Assembly. Chicago Tribune columnist John Kass quickly tweeted: “So #Obama tells #Illinois pols about need for compromise, then rips Rep. Dunkin, D, who dared go against Boss Madigan. That’s #thechicagoway.” But Kass did Dunkin no favors. Rep. Dunkin is fighting for his political life in a Chicago Democratic primary against a union-backed candidate. Call me crazy, but I don’t think his majority African-American constituency will be happy that their state legislator was publicly humiliated by the nation’s first black President. Word is the Democrats warned the White House that Dunkin would attempt to insert himself into the visit, and they were quite satisfied with the result. They may have also warned the President that Dunkin’s 1990s arrest record was about to become an issue in his primary race. Even so, House Speaker Michael Madigan made a significant mistake last week. Obama has often called former Senate President Emil Jones his political “godfather.” Jones mentored Obama, gave him important assignments and drew a district for him that meandered up Chicago’s wealthy Gold Coast to allow the ambitious young

pol to raise campaign cash from the elite. No Emil Jones, no President Obama. The President gave Jones a couple of shout-outs during his speech and said he misses him. But Jones and Madigan fought bitterly for years. Indeed, if you go back and look at what Senate Black Caucus members were saying about Madigan during that fight, you’d see they said many of the same harsh things about Madigan as Gov. Rauner says today. Madigan relegated Jones to the gallery while inviting former legislators of far less stature onto the House floor. Madigan’s snub was deeply resented by many and brought back a lot of very bad memories. If Rauner had done a better job of understanding his job, he’d be able to build on this anger at Madigan. But making statements about how tax money is being thrown down the “toilet” at the majority black Chicago State University, and cozying up to Dunkin (who just last week called his fellow legislators “monkeys”) and pushing social service agencies into bankruptcy has so damaged his relationships that he probably can’t take much advantage. “We’re winning,” Rauner told a Downstate audience hours after Obama’s “unity” speech.

Your Horoscope By Denise Guzzardo Week of Feb. 17-23, 2016

This Week: A calm and balmy planetary climate arrives this week, allowing most of us to calm down and regroup. Venus moves into Aquarius on February 16 providing us with creative ways to solve problems as well as beautify our surroundings. This would be an excellent time to consider changes with our personal appearances or living space. Venus will be more than willing to compliment those aspects. Enjoy! Aries (March 21 to April 19) — Avoid making promises that you can’t keep at this time. It’s better to gather more information about an individual or a situation before you jump in too deep. Contacting an individual from your past may not work out as you anticipated at this time. It may be better for you to leave this sit for now. Progress with financial debt slowly but surely evolves now, complementing your longterm goals, Aries. Taurus (April 20 to May 20)— An impromptu gathering provides romantic interests for those of you who may be seeking a love connection this lunar cycle. Crawl out from under the blankets and accept those invitations to socialize, you won’t be disappointed. Midweek brings a surprise encounter with an individual from your past. This brings positive results, Taurus Gemini (May 21 to June 20) — Unexpected developments with family have a surprise twist this week for the better. Someone provides you with an answer to a prayer now. The underlying negative influences of another will be exposed now. From there you will move forward with clarity and confidence. Work aspects are favorable by week’s end, Gemini. Cancer (June 21 to July 22) — Make your feelings known regarding a loved one or friendship this week. Others are not mind readers and your behavior may be confusing them as to what you really need from life. After a long heart-toheart talk, you realize you are both on the same page. You will have nowhere to go but up from there, Cancer. Leo (July 23 to Aug. 22) — A career move is available for those restless Leos who feel stuck in a rut with their financial goals. Keep your eyes on the prize and expect positive results during this lunar cycle. You may be concerned about the health or welfare of a female friend or family member at this time. A close friend provides you with clues as to how you may be able to remedy an over-exaggerated problem, Leo. Virgo (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) — Information you receive now needs to be taken to heart, even if it is not presented in the best possible light. Someone is concerned and they may be able to see something that you are currently

not able to visualize. Try to listen to the facts and not allow the delivery of this to cloud your judgment. This information will be valuable in the months to come, Virgo. Libra (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) — Information you receive sheds light on your relationship sector during this lunar cycle. You’re more comfortable with the progress and are willing to let your guard down a little more now. After a long-drawn-out process with a work aspect, everyone is beginning to see a shift in productivity at this time. Financial windfalls from this will be evident shortly, Libra. Scorpio (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) — New business, new friends and fresh social activities will begin to emerge during this lunar cycle. Take advantage of these powerful, positive influences and say yes to invitations to impromptu gatherings now. A change in your appearance is evident as well. You radiate health and sensuality. Your efforts personally and professionally are beginning to pay off, Scorpio. Sagittarius (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) — The focus has been on finances and for many of you this seems to be wearing you out with worry. Never fear, Saturn is here to help you. Saturn arrived in Sagittarius late December of 2014 allowing you to develop your spiritual, emotional and physical muscle mass. For many it arrived like a wrecking ball, yet this time frame will provide you

an opportunity to restructure your life on many levels. Leaving the past in the past is highly recommended, Sag. Capricorn (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) — An offer of work or additional business will be available now. Check it out, this may be just the advantage you need to make your long-term goals a reality. There has been an element of stagnation so this will provide a breath of fresh air into your daily routine. It appears like you may need to hash out some emotional aspect with another at this time. Go for it and choose your words carefully, Cap. Aquarius (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) — Remove those individuals from your life who are not a productive part of your long-term goals and dreams. Time has a way of sneaking up on us all. Your progress with emotional or financial situations may be affected by your choice of comrades at this time. Surround yourself with those who have a positive influence on you now, Aquarius. Pisces (Feb. 19 to March 20) — Financial or legal matters will be resolved in your favor shortly. An unexpected financial situation puts you at the head of your class at this time. An idea that you had in the past will fall into place now. Timing is everything, take this opportunity to move forward with a career or creative project. This will be the year that this is well received and understood, Pisces.

THERE IS A NEED FOR NEW PHYSICAL THERAPY EQUIPMENT

Saturday, March 12th 10Ma.m. - 10895 North Grove Rd, Sycamore, IL A Mother’s Story 3

ILESTONE’s mission is to help each Individual reach their fullest potential and live as full a life as possible. Our Interdisciplinary team includes both physical and occupational therapists and a PT/OT program is designed for each Individual to meet their needs. Many times rehabilitation therapy is needed after an extended hospital stay, and can keep a person ambulatory. Chris’ family gained first hand knowledge about the difference a strong PT/OT department can make after she returned to MILESTONE after an extended hospital stay. Before she had to go to the hospital Chris was able to walk, but after a month of being mostly bedridden she returned to Milestone non-ambulatory. With guidance, work, time and care from the PT/OT team, she was able to regain the ability to walk with the same level of assistance as before she entered the hospital. Jill Morgan, MILESTONE’s PT/OT coordinator, says, keeping our individuals ambulatory and mobile for as long as possible is entirely essential to their overall health. Weight bearing stimulates bone strength, range of motion exercises, active or passive promotes circulation, stimulates the bowels and keeps their joints fluid and the 1 on 1 attention gives them comfort and stability. Without PT and OT our individuals health would deteriorate at a more rapid rate, according to Morgan, who adds, osteoporosis, constipation and contracture of muscles and fusion of bones would occur more rapidly and more quickly interfere with our ability to care for them. Their quality of life would seriously decline. Providing and supporting what limited mobility many of our individuals have is truly as vital and valuable as any treatment or medication. But in order to do this equipment is needed, everything from walkers, to air pressure and orthotic splints, custom molded shoes, versiform cushions and walking belts. There is currently a need for standers, along with gravity, the standers help stimulate bone growth and helps maintain bone strength. The straightening and stretching of the leg mucsles and tendons also help an Individual maintain lower extremity mobility allowing for better personal care and aiding in the potential for ambulation. The change in perspective (going from sitting to standing) stimulates brain activity, and visual motor and proprioceptual skills. Our current standers are over 20 years old and we need additional ones. Please call the Resource Development Department at (815) 639-2965 if you would like information about making a donation for this program.

EVERGREEN Real Estate Services, L.L.C.

Her name was Anne and she came to me after suffering years from depression and fatigue which developed after the birth of her second child. Anne had a long history of cold hands and feet and she was very sensitive to cold. She was experiencing significant hair loss, was constipated and had severe muscle aches. Even after a full night sleep she never felt rested. Anne now was experiencing allergies, recurring sinus infections which leads to more and more antibiotics which then leads to headaches. Due to the over use of antibiotics she was having abdominal cramping, bloating, constipation and was craving sugars, bread, pasta and whatever sweet foods she could put her hands on. After the birth of her second child, Anne’s menstrual cycles had become irregular, she had gained 35 pounds, had lost all sexual desires and felt that her mind was in a “brain fog”. Anne sought out her physicians but to no avail. Her medical doctor told her she was depressed and prescribe an anti-depressive. After doing her own research on the medication that was prescribed she threw the prescription away and called me. Anne’s name could easily be replaced with your name for I have helped so many women just with this issue. What Anne was going

through was an imbalance of her hormones. It was the change in her hormones that triggered her allergy disorder which in turn lead to recurrence of her sinus infections which then lead to more antibiotics. A vicious circle which interrupts the good bacteria in her gut and allowing yeast challenges to grow. A fter doing an evaluation of A nne, she needed some natural adrenal and thy roid support along w ith the needed G.I. support. I educated her on her diet explaining what foods she was eating that was causing her allergies and what foods she was eating that was turning into sugars. I told her no matter how hard she tried to eat good and to stay away from sugars she was sabotaging herself w ithout even k now ing it due to the over grow th of bad bacteria in her gut.

Ensuring proper strawberry management By Grant McCarty Local Foods and Small Farms Educator, University of Illinois Extension

Now that you’ve determined your strawberry variety and your system, it’s time to think about the seasonal management issues you will run into. Strawberry management focuses on weeding, watering, controlling the stolons, and renovating the strawberry patch. Some of these are ongoing such as weeding and watering while other ones like renovating will come into play in the second and third years of growing. Many of these practices will depend on what your strawberry setup looks like. Smaller plantings may control weeds with hand-weeding while rows of strawberries will need a more robust weed management strategy. Once you’ve planted the strawberry plants, flowers will appear. If you remove these flowers in the spring of the first year, it can improve the strawberry establishment and lead to vigorous stolons. Known as runners, they will eventually develop their own roots resulting in a clone plant of the mother plant in the form of a daughter plant. These runners can develop to form additional plants in the matted row system. The runners may be cut if the strawberry plants are too vigorous and going into the aisle. Weeding is mostly done by hand in a

strawberry patch. Mulching, hand-pulling, and tilling can be effective weed strategies during the growing season. In winter, you’ll want to cover the strawberry plants with straw mulch or leaves that can provide protection. The mulch can then be removed in the spring to the side of the strawberry row. After a couple seasons, you may want to renovate your strawberry patch. The purpose of renovation is to keep your plants from becoming too crowded in the beds. A general renovation practice will be to apply 10-10-10 per 100 ft of the strawberry row. Next, you will mow the leaves off the strawberry plants but be sure to not cut into the actual strawberry crowns. Rows will then be cut back to a strawberry strip around 12-18 inches wide. Further thin the plants leaving only the healthiest strawberry plants. Renovation should be done early in the spring. Watering is necessary at planting, before harvest, and after renovation. Having a rain gauge is beneficial for you to determine if your strawberry plants are getting enough water. Be mindful of how you are irrigating. If you coat the strawberry plants’ leaves with water, they can potentially spread any disease among the strawberry bed. Next week, I’ll explain diseases and insect pests of strawberries.

Mr Green Car

Taking in the Chicago Auto Show

By Allen Penticoff Contributor

fter spending three days at the Chicago Auto Show, I can say there is much to be interested in, and much that I learned – plenty of fodder for future columns. Unfortunately, in total there was not much progress in the area of green car technology. The real exception being the introduction of the new all-electric, 200 mile range, Chevrolet Bolt that should be available in 2017. After listening to the Thursday morning breakfast keynote speaker, Mark LaNeve, vice president of U.S. marketing, sales and service for Ford Motor Company, we learned that the automotive industry is gearing up to sell more small SUVs. While bigger SUVs are still quite popular, they have seen an explosion of interest in small SUVs among millennials as well as baby boomers. All like the freedom to do many things with their small SUVs while the baby boomers in particular like the ease of entry and exit. The show floor was covered with many inter-

pretations of the small SUV. I checked out some, since they have better fuel economy than bigger trucks and SUVs – generally in the 30 mpg highway range. I was particularly impressed by the Honda HR-V with AWD in the EX-L Navi trim. Somewhat bigger and far more expensive is the Volvo 90 XC hybrid. Luxurious, powerful 400 horsepower engine and two electric motors with 12-17 miles of battery only range. I rode along on a “off-road” track in the Toyota RAV-4 AWD hybrid. It

has mild off-road abilities (nothing compared to the Jeep Renegade I rode in too). But the advantage with the RAV-4 is that they too have a dual electric motor set up that is new and unique. One electric motor is connected to the engine and provides hybrid action just as a Prius does. The second electric motor drives the rear wheels only when slippage of the front wheels is detected. Thus the AWD only is used when needed – automatically. This makes for a more efficient AWD vehicle. The RAV-4 hybrid gets 34 hwy/31 city mpg, while my driver said he drove one 700 miles and got 35 mpg the whole way. I had the opportunity to drive a hydrogen/fuel cell car – the Toyota Mirai. It is a comfortable four-door sedan about the size of a Camry or Corolla. It would be quick with its 155 hp electric drive and has 320 miles of range. It easily squealed the tires on the test track. Unanswered was my question about the carbon footprint of making hydrogen to fuel the car. Toyota also had a “Back To The Future” show car with the gull-wing doors like the DeLorean of movie fame – and with a fake “Mr. Fusion” input on this actual hydrogen fuel cell car. Toyota is going into production with the Mirai, but will only be sold in California and overseas where there is hydrogen fueling infrastructure. Fiat has brought back the 124 Spider. A glorious, fun, convertible sports car. Nissan had a couple of Rogue SUVs rigged up with tracks on all four wheels for extreme snow driving. Hyundai showcased its Genesis luxury line with a stunning concept car – the Vision G. Buick likewise had a gorgeous concept car, the Avista, which I had a faux pas by sitting in when you’re not supposed to (in my defense it was there on test drive day).

I learned that a concept car is missing a lot of stuff. Another concept car, “thinking about making” was the little 4-door hatchback Kia Niro hybrid. Kia also had a new concept SUV – the Telluride, that SUV buyers will likely find appealing if it goes into production. I am an admitted car nut. And I could not have been more nuts about the stunning new 600 hp Ford GT race/street car. While other supercars are also to be seen and drooled over, only the Ford GT had a 3-axis driving simulator that allowed you to try your hand at the next best thing to driving a real one. It has three seats in the simulator and each person gets to have a try at making it around the LeMans racecourse as fast as they can for one lap. I managed a respectable 1:38, but was pokey compared to a young man I rode with who turned in a slick 1:28 – nearly a record for the show so far. It is worth the long wait in line. Another simulator was in a Dodge Viper – around the Nurburgring racecourse. It was set up to move the car some to simulate what it was doing in virtual reality – but is tougher to do right than the Ford GT. Toyota also had a distracted driving simulator where you put on goggles and steer a real car in true total virtual reality while dealing with driving distractions. So all this is sort of a tip of the iceberg review of what there is to see, do and learn at the 2016 Chicago Auto Show. There are many more reviews and topics to come in this column. An update on the parking rates mentioned in the previous report on the show – $23 is for inside all day with $15 remote outside parking. Parking garage A is $36 if you stay more than 16 hours. Go have some warm winter fun at the Chicago Auto Show through Sunday.

National Hockey League

Rough patch, no worries By Adam Hess Contributor

The Chicago Blackhawks stormed into 2016 as the hottest team in the NHL. They opened the year with 10 straight wins, not losing until January 21. They came back from the All-Star Break hot as well, earning three straight wins on the road and posting some of their best possession numbers in doing so. Those hot streaks made Chicago’s recent struggles at home all the more surprising and frustrating. They lost three straight home games in frustrating fashion, including getting shutout by the San Jose Sharks after having a goal waved off, and a 4-2 loss to the Dallas Stars in which Dallas scored all four goals in the first period. As frustrating and borderline embarrassing as those losses at home were, in all reality, there is not too much to worry about with the Blackhawks at this point in time. The Blackhawks remain one of the NHL’s best teams, and three losses in February don’t change that. In fact, the February losses could prove to be a good thing. Last season, the Blackhawks went through a similar February rough patch, posting a 6-7-0 record during that month. During that stretch included a three game losing streak at home as well, and we all know what happened in June of 2015. While I’m not suggesting that this recent rough patch means that the Blackhawks are a lock to repeat

as Stanley Cup champions, the overarching point here is pretty simple: please, please, do not panic about the Blackhawks. This is a team that plays hockey from October to April with their minds focused on playing from April to June. They don’t need to win the Central Division or earn home ice advantage in the playoffs, though those things are nice. The Blackhawks really just need to make it to the playoffs. They’ve shown that these last few seasons, finishing third in the central division both years but making it to June anyway. In fact, if not for a lame duck shot hitting Nick Leddy and floating over Corey Crawford’s shoulder in Game 7 of the 2014 Western Conference Final, Chicago would probably have won three straight Stanley Cups. As a fan, it can be extremely frustrating to watch a team that you expect to be among the best play like garbage for several games in a row, especially at home. It’s frustrating to them as well, as indicated by many of Head Coach Joel Quenneville’s post game press conferences. But these games are truly nothing to get too worked about. If you’re sick of watching them suck during a game, do what I did last week during the Dallas game. Turn the damn game off. Just make sure you have it back on in April, because you’ll probably have a lot more fun then. Follow Adam on Twitter: @_AdamHess.

Spring Training Previews

Southside squandered

By Collin Whitchurch

The White Sox sat back and watched free agent options Jason Heyward, Alex Gordon, Yoenis Cespedes and Justin Upton come off the board, and while another solid option in Dexter Fowler remains a free agent, it appears as of right now that the White Sox will enter 2016 hoping the young Venezuelan right fielder who was a net minus last year both offensively and defensively can turn the corner toward being a good major league player.

Contributor

he Chicago White Sox enter Spring Training in much the same situation they found themselves a year ago, seemingly improved but with enough question marks to make one wonder if they’ve truly done enough to end a postseason drought that has now reached seven years. Last offseason, splashy acquisitions in Jeff Samardzija, Melky Cabrera, David Robertson and Adam LaRoche amounted to a whopping three win increase — 73 to 76 wins — which left them with another fourth-place finish while watching a division rival, the Kansas City Royals, win the World Series. “I have one year on my contract, that’s not a secret,’’ manager Robin Ventura said this winter. “Regardless of that I would want to win just as many games early on; whether it was 10 years [under contract], it doesn’t matter. We all want to get off to a good start. That much is for sure.’’

New faces

The core of this White Sox roster is both young and cheap enough that it didn’t make much sense for the front office, headed by general manager Rick Hahn, to go into rebuild mode despite the lack of success they’ve found in recent years. In Chris Sale, Jose Quintana, Jose Abreu and Adam Eaton, the White Sox have four players who are among the best at their respective positions and are both cheap (the four will make $27M combined in 2016, or $3M less than the Red Sox will pay David Price), and young (Abreu, the eldest of the four, is 29). Still, with the necessary franchise cornerstones in place and a payroll that annually ranks around the middle of the league, the White Sox mostly sat out of free agency, instead finding improvements in the form of trades. The main attraction

came in the form of Todd Frazier, a 30-year-old third baseman coming off back-to-back All-Star selections with the Cincinnati Reds who is under team control through 2017 with a reasonable salary (he will make $8.25M in 2016). Frazier, who was acquired in a three-team trade that saw the White Sox ship youngsters Frankie Montas, Trayce Thompson and Micah Johnson to the Dodgers, is expected to fill a hole at third base that the White Sox have had since Joe Crede left town eight years ago. The White Sox also plugged their glaring hole in second base by acquiring Brett Lawrie from the Oakland Athletics in exchange for two low-end pitching prospects. Similarly to third base, second base has been an offensive minus for the White Sox going all the way back to the years after Ray Durham left town.

The only notable free agent acquisitions came in the form of Mat Latos, a one-time front end starter in Cincinnati who will hopefully provide rotation depth after two years of declining results as he battled injuries, and catcher Dioner Navarro and Alex Avila, who the Sox hope will be an offensive improvement from Tyler Flowers in a likely platoon scenario.

Sure Things: Catchers: Alex Avila, Dioner Navarro; Infielders: Jose Abreu, Brett Lawrie, Tyler Saladino, Todd Frazier, Carlos Sanchez; Outfielders: Melky Cabrera, Adam Eaton, Avisail Garcia; Designated Hitter: Adam LaRoche; Pitchers: Chris Sale, Jose Quintana, Carlos Rodon, John Danks, Mat Latos, David Robertson, Zach Putnam, Jake Petricka, Zach Duke, Dan Jennings, Nate Jones; Matt Albers, Tommy Kahnle. The Last Two: Barring another late addition such as Dexter Fowler, the White Sox will likely have to decide between the incumbent J.B. Shuck and Jerry Sands for the backup outfielder spot. The likes of Leury Garcia and Mike Olt will be in the mix as additional backup infielders after Sanchez. Meanwhile, the White Sox will have to decide what to do with Erik Johnson, assuming Latos is the fifth starter, and other bullpen/rotation possibilities if something happens include Jacob Turner, Daniel Webb and Scott Carroll.

DAILY SPECIALS Burgers, Meats, Dogs & Sweets 7828 N. 2nd Street Machesney Park, IL 815-633-2008

Two-thirds of the White Sox outfield is set in Eaton and Cabrera, the latter of whom struggled in 2015 but is a good candidate to bounce back. The third guy as of this writing is Avisail Garcia, a 24-year-old acquired three years ago in the Jake Peavy deal who has shown no signs of being a competent major leaguer through the first ~1,000 plate appearances of his career.

FanGraphs projects the White Sox to go 81-81 this season, and with the five-win variance that projection models allow, it’s entirely possible the Sox are in the hunt in both the AL Central and Wild Card race throughout the season. The Atlantis Casino in Reno, Nev., has the White Sox over/under win total at 80.5. Our projection: 85-77.

Spring Training Previews

By Matt Williams

Coming back for more

After sustaining a hamstring injury in his last start before the break, Hammel was nowhere near that player, being yanked from five different starts before making it to the fifth inning. If Hammel can produce for an entire season, the Cubs could have the top rotation in baseball.

Contributor

oe Maddon’s first spring training last year with the Cubs was filled with a lot of questions. Would Kris Bryant make the opening day roster? Who was going to step up to win the second base job? Could Jorge Soler stay healthy and live up to his potential? Who would become the fifth starter? Could these young Cubs actually compete in a crowded National League Central? Maddon has no such questions this year as pitchers and catchers report Friday to Mesa, Ariz., and the Cubs start their quest to end a World Series drought dating to 1908. The North Siders are coming off a trip to the NLCS in a postseason where they knocked off the St. Louis Cardinals in their first ever playoff meeting. But these Cubs – armed with the reigning manager of the year in Maddon, the Cy Young winner in Jake Arrieta and Rookie of the Year Bryant – are tabbed by many as favorites to win it all.

New faces

After adding Jon Lester last offseason, Theo Epstein and Jed Hoyer made an even bigger free agency splash this past winter. The Cubs strengthened their outfield defense and lineup by landing Jason Heyward to an eight-year $184 million deal. Heyward was the primary target for general manager Jed Hoyer because he’s a Gold Glove defender, runs the bases well and can fit anywhere into their loaded lineup, though expect to see him leading off. The Cubs had raided their division rival Cardinals just days before Heyward’s arrival, signing John Lackey to solidify their rotation behind Lester and Cy Young winner Jake Arrieta. After years of up and down production, the Cubs sent Starlin Castro to the Yankees for swingman Adam Warren, who will provide much needed

depth to the rotation and could potentially push Kyle Hendricks for the fifth starter role. That trade came the same day as the signing of 2B Ben Zobrist, who is fresh off a World Series victory in Kansas City and was a favorite of Maddon’s during his tenure in Tampa due to his versatility on the field.

Sophomore jinx

The Cubs depended on rookies Bryant, Soler, Addison Russell and Kyle Schwarber to help carry them to 97 wins. But how will that group fare as major league pitchers adjust to their strengths and weaknesses? All four faced adversity at some point last season, but Maddon is not concerned about season long slumps for his young core. “The point is everybody knows us now,” Maddon told MLB.com at the Winter Meetings in

December. “At least these guys have that veteran leadership from last year, so they know how to react to the moments a little bit better now. They are not going to get as wide-eyed or freaked out over an 0-for-7 or an 0-for-8, so that’s going to be beneficial.”

Bolstered arms

Arrieta, Lester and Lackey are penciled in to the top three rotation spots. It’s unlikely Arrieta will produce at the same level as 2015, but anywhere close would still make him a top five pitcher in baseball. Lester should put up similar numbers to 2015, while the Cubs hope Lackey can continue his late career resurgence. That leaves Jason Hammel as a very solid No. 4. Before the all-star break last season, Hammel had a 2.84 ERA, holding hitters to a .211 average.

Sure Things: Catchers: Miguel Montero, David Ross; Infielders: Anthony Rizzo, Kris Bryant, Ben Zobrist, Addison Russell, Tommy LaStella; Outfielders: Jorge Soler, Jason Heyward, Kyle Schwarber, Chris Coghlan; Starters: Jake Arrieta, Jon Lester, John Lackey, Jason Hammel, Kyle Hendricks; Bullpen: Justin Grimm, Hector Rondon, Pedro Strop, Adam Warren, Trevor Cahill, Clayton Richard, Travis Wood. The Final Spots: Assuming the Cubs go with 12 pitchers because of the ability of several bullpen arms to go multiple innings, that leaves the final two spots for bench bats. An easy choice is Javier Baez because of his plus power and the willingness to play any position asked. But if plate appearances are going to be limited for the young slugger, a trip back to AAA Iowa is not out of the question. Matt Szczur is a good fit because of his speed and ability to play any of the three outfield positions. A good spring could help 3B Christian Villanueva make the roster. Villanueva, who is out of minor league options, has a slick glove and could fill in at first or third. Other options are infielder Arismendy Alcantara and former Cub Matt Murton, who spent the past six seasons in Japan before re-signing with Chicago on a minor league contract.

Predictions

Fangraphs projects the Cubs to finish with the best record in baseball at 94-68. The Atlantis Casino in Reno, Nev., had the Cubs at 89 wins, one below the San Francisco Giants. Our projection: 93-69.
