Tinker Swiss Cottage, 411 Kent Street, will be holding a workshop to help teach people how to safely preserve their silver items on March 5 at 1 p.m.

The workshop will focus on teaching proper silver methods while using simple techniques and materials. “It is so important to learn how to clean the object correctly to ensure its preservation for years to come,” said Alix Fox, Director of Education and Collections at Tinker Swiss Cottage Museum and Gardens.

“Silver collections can be a tricky item to care for. While they bring years and even generations of enjoyment, they can tarnish quickly if not properly maintained,” said Fox. Those attending should come prepared with one small to medium sized silver piece to clean and be prepared to get their hands dirty. All materials are included in the cost of the workshop. The cost for the workshop is $40 for non-members and $35 for Tinker Swiss members. New members can register for the workshop for $15 with the purchase of a membership of individual, family or donor level.

Space for the workshop is limited to the first 20 people and registration can be done by calling Tinker Swiss Cottage at 815-964-2424 or visit tinkercottage.com.

Apple vs. The FBI Tech-giant refuses to break encryption in privacy showdown

By Dustin Volz & Abhirup Roy Reuters

Apple on Monday urged the creation of a government panel on encryption, the latest salvo in a standoff over a locked iPhone linked to the San Bernardino shooting that has escalated into a public relations battle between the revered technology company and the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation.

Apple Chief Executive Tim Cook also sent a letter to employees Monday morning, making clear the company’s hardline stance refusing to make software to unlock the phone addresses broader issues, not just a single device linked to a grisly attack.

“This case is about much more than a single phone or a single investigation,” Cook said in the email to employees, seen by Reuters. “At stake is the data security of hundreds of millions of law-abiding people, and setting a dangerous precedent that threatens everyone’s civil liberties.”

But FBI Director James Comey, in an article published late Sunday on the national security legal blog Lawfare, asserted the case was not about setting a new legal precedent but rather about “victims and justice.”

“Fourteen people were slaughtered and many more had their lives and bodies ruined,” Comey wrote. “We owe them a thorough and professional investigation under law. That’s what this is.”

A federal judge last week ordered Apple to create new software and take others steps to retrieve data from the locked phone, used by Syed Rizwan Farook, one of the San Bernardino shooters, who was killed in a gun battle with police.

This move also received support from Microsoft

Corp founder Bill Gates, who said technology companies should be forced to co-operate with law enforcement in terrorism investigations, the Financial Times reported late Monday.

“This is a specific case where the government is asking for access to information. They are not asking for some general thing, they are asking for a particular case,” Gates told the Financial Times.

Gates’ decision sets him apart from other Silicon Valley top executives, such as Facebook Inc chief Mark Zuckerberg, Twitter Inc founder Jack Dorsey and Google head Sundar Pichai, who have all backed Cook’s decision, the newspaper added.

The company is fighting the order, arguing that creating such a key will jeopardize the security of all iPhones. The company’s formal legal arguments are expected Friday.

The Justice Department’s maneuvers over the past week have prompted Apple supporters to suggest the case is as much about putting political pressure on Apple and influencing the broader policy debate on encryption as it is about getting data from Farook’s phone.

The Justice Department launched its unusually public campaign to force Apple’s hand by publicizing the court order itself, which normally would have been under seal, according to legal experts. Then, on Friday, the Justice Department filed additional court papers that repeated its legal arguments and criticized the company’s resistance as a “brand marketing strategy.” The government acknowledged that the Friday filing was “not legally necessary.”

Apple responded hours later by holding a conference call with reporters - a rare move by a generally reticent company that is accustomed to making news rather than reacting to it. That was followed early Monday by a public blog post and an internal email to employees arguing the company’s case.

Meanwhile, the government has actively solicited victims of the shooting to join its case

against Apple.

Farook and his wife, Tashfeen Malik, destroyed their personal phones before carrying out the Dec. 2 shooting rampage in San Bernardino, California, which killed 14 and wounded 22. Authorities believe the couple was inspired by the Islamic State. The phone at issue is an iPhone 5c issued to Farook by San Bernardino County in his role as a health inspector.

Digital security commission

The case has revived interest on Capitol Hill in pursuing legislation to address the problem of what law enforcement officials call “going dark” – where tight digital security prevents them from accessing the data of criminal suspects.

Theideaofsettingupacommission–whichmaybe a prelude to a broader legislative solution – is not new, although a political resolution of the data privacy and encryption debate has proven elusive for many years.

A digital security commission comprising technology, business and law enforcement experts has been proposed by Democratic Senator Mark Warner and Republican Representative Michael McCaul, who chairs the Homeland Security Committee, to help break the impasse over encryption.

The bipartisan pair is scheduled to unveil details of legislation that would create a panel at a Washington event on Wednesday. Apple indicated it

would work with a commission or panel of experts to discuss the matter further.

“Apple would gladly participate in such an effort,” the company wrote in the Monday post on its website addressing questions about the case.

The company could not be immediately reached for further comment.

The Justice Department has pushed back on framing the dispute as an encryption issue, insisting that it is only trying to get past the lock screen on one phone. Apple has argued that while it is technically possible to bypass the security features of the iPhone by building a new operating system, such a move would set a dangerous precedent.

Bipartisan leaders of the U.S. House Energy and Commerce Committee late Friday invited Apple’s Cook and FBI Director James Comey to testify at an upcoming hearing on encryption, though no date was set.

Senators Richard Burr and Dianne Feinstein, the top Republican and Democrat of the Senate Intelligence Committee respectively, have long said they intend to introduce legislation that would force a company to be able to grant authorities access to a suspect’s data, though a bill has not yet materialized.

Some victims of the attack will file a legal brief in support of the U.S. government’s attempt to force open to unlock the phone, a lawyer representing the victims told Reuters on Sunday.

“This case is about much more than a single phone or -Apple CEO Tim Cook a single investigation.”

I Phone the FBI

By Frank Schier Editor & Publisher

F

BI Director James Comey has taken a cheap kick at our right to keep our phone conversations, pictures, personal records, banking data, and contacts to ourselves.

Using the horrific killings in San Bernardino as the shattered front door to waltz through, Comey is demanding Apple give a software backdoor to break open the one of the killer’s iPhones. Apple’s encryption is so good the FBI can’t get into it, especially after they goofed up and changed the password just after they attained the phone.

Thank Benjamin Franklin that Apple’s CEO Tim Cook is fighting for us. In an open letter to his customers he concludes, “And ultimately, we fear that

this demand would undermine the very freedoms and liberty our government is meant to protect.” As the inventor of the lightning rod said, “Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.”

Supposedly, about 51 percent of Americans agree with the FBI, while 41 percent side with Apple, according SurveyMonkey Inc. What I have noted analyzing media coverage on this question is how the national media is really smooching up to the FBI. But then again that’s nothing new, most of the media have denigrated the greatest whistle blower of our time Edward Snowdon, who I think should be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for his exposure of the NSA illegal and absolutely pervasive invasion of our privacy by blanket collections of our conversations.

Our government has no boundaries of propriety or loyalty at home or abroad; our NSA has even bugged the cell phone of our ally Germany’s Chancellor Angela Merkel.

One key argument is that if the backdoor to the iPhone is opened, who is to say who all will walk through that aperture? As was noted on The Diane Rehm Show being guest-hosted by Susan Page on Tuesday morning, every aspiring hacker and cyber criminal gang in the world will now have a new greatest goal, to get through to the FBI’s new access. Have government electronics been breached before? (http://thedianerehmshow.org/shows/2016-02-23/ apple-and-the-san-bernardino-shooters-iphone-the-escalating-fight-over-privacy-and-security) Absolutely, as Voice of America reported, “The second attack on the Office of Personnel Management, or

OPM, allowed hackers to access highly sensitive background information submitted by intelligence and military personnel for security clearances for several agencies, including the Central Intelligence Agency and the National Security Agency, anonymous U.S. officials said. China is the chief “suspect” for that hack.

It was furthermore pointed out on the NPR show that a brand new division of the FBI or Justice Department and even Apple itself would have to be created to deal with all the requests that would come from myriad law enforcement offices to gain entry to the content of “suspects” iPhones.

What astounds me is the media not fighting this FBI invasion with every megabyte available. Don’t we in the media believe in protecting our sources?

If this demanded backdoor opens, who’s to say that any iPad, Apple computer

and specifically any iPhone used by a journalist is safe from government intrusion?

Speak to your congressman and senator. Write a letter to the White House.

As the new apple of my patriotic eye Tim Cook said in his letter, “This case is about much more than a single phone.”

Tell the FBI to back out of the door to our privacy and freedom.

If Apple’s Cook wins against the FBI, I will buy an iPhone. And since Window’s Bill Gates just came out on the side of the FBI against his major competition (surprise) and us, I think I’ll switch all my business and personal computer over to Macs. Aside from wondering what backdoors Gates has allowed, I hear Macs don’t get all those viruses that Windows machines do.

Cook should really thank the FBI: they just gave him the best commercial for the iPhone he’s ever had.

BREAKING RANKS Mark Kirk has defied GOP leadership in the Senate calling for hearings on Obama’s SCOTUS nominee

By Ian Millhiser ThinkProgress.org

Sen. Mark Kirk, R, the first-term senator facing a tough reelection fight in Illinois, broke with his party leadership’s hardline opposition to any nominee President Obama chooses to replace the late Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia.

In a brief op-ed published by the Chicago SunTimes on Monday, Kirk writes that he recognizes “the right of the president, be it Republican or Democrat, to place before the Senate a nominee for the Supreme Court and I fully expect and look forward to President Barack Obama advancing a nominee for the Senate to consider.”

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-KY, by contrast, said almost immediately after news of Scalia’s death broke that “this vacancy should not be filled until we have a new President.”

McConnell’s statement has been echoed, at times word for word, by other Republican leaders.

“That the consensus view,” Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-SC, said Tuesday. “No hearing, no vote.”

The real question regarding Kirk, however, is whether the Illinois senator actually intends to give Obama’s nominee a fair hearing, or whether Kirk has simply decided that going through the motions of an ordinary confirmation process is the best strategic move for Republicans.

Other senators, including Thom Tillis, R-NC, and Dan Coats, R-IN, both indicated that Senate Republicans should go through the ordinary

trappings of a Supreme Court confirmation, but they also suggested that, in Coats’ words, “it ought to be somebody who has some adherence to the constitutional position of Justice Scalia to succeed in a Republican-held Congress.”

It is unlikely, to say the least, that Obama will comply with a demand that he send up a younger version of the staunchly conservative justice he seeks to replace. There are also no precedents for a modern president being held to such a standard.

Kirk, for his part, does offer two hints at how the confirmation process could more forward, one of which is potentially ominous for the nominee. He writes that it is his “duty as a senator to either vote in support or opposition to that nominee following a fair and thorough hearing along with a complete and transparent release of all requested information.”

While Supreme Court nominees normally comply with extensive information requests

from the Judiciary Committee, it remains to be seen whether Senate Republicans will insist that Obama’s nominee capture the Cretan Bull and produce the pelt of the Nemean Lion before the nominee can receive a hearing.

Senator Kirk also writes that he hopes Obama will nominate someone “who can bridge differences, a nominee who finds common ground and a nominee who does not speak or act in the extreme.”

If Kirk means someone who has previously enjoyed Republican support and who has shown an ability to work with judges that hold different viewpoints, Obama has many choices that fit this bill.

If, on the other hand, Kirk means someone who “finds common ground” with senators that insist that anyone to the left of Scalia is unacceptable, then it is doubtful that such a person exists.

RPD honored for Special Olympics efforts

Staff Report The Rockford Police Department was honored last week for their work raising awareness and funds for Special Olympics during the 2016 Law Enforcement Torch Run Kick-off Conference.

Interim Police Chief Patrick Hoey accepted the Flame of Hope Award, the Torch Run’s highest honor, during this conference.

“I was honored to accept this award on behalf of the men and women of the Rockford Police Department,” said Hoey. “For 30 years the Rockford Police Department has raised money and awareness for Special Olympics and I know we

have made a tremendous impact on the lives of those with intellectual disabilities.”

The Rockford Police Department was recognized for their efforts in several local fundraising

events such as Dunkin’ Donuts Cop on the Rooftop, Texas Roadhouse Benefit Lunch, and the Polar Plunge, which the department notes their large participation in.

“This great team of motivated officers have raised nearly $115,000 since 2005, the Torch Run Committee stated. “They are also responsible for cultivating numerous relationships at their local level as well as bringing new departments into the fold.”

The next event the Rockford Police Department will be taking part in to raise funds and awareness for the Special Olympics will be the Polar Plunge on March 5 at Olson Lake.

Local | Black History Month

Honoring their service Marine Sgt. James Akbar (R) talks to fellow veteran Stanley Thompson before Sunday’s ceremonies at Veterans Memorial Hall honoring members of the Montford Point Marines.

During World War II, black Marine recruits were trained at a segregated facility at Montford Point, N.C. More than 20,000 men were thus trained before the Marines were officially desegregated in 1949.

Sgt. Akbar served in Vietnam from 1965 to 1966 as a machine gunner in the 173rd Airborne Regiment. “The Vietnamese called us the ‘little boys with big boots’ because of our uniforms,” recalls Akbar.

“They gave us the nickname ‘sky soldiers.’”

Thompson is also a veteran of the Vietnam War, serving in 1967-1968, and was awarded a Navy commendation for his service. He is currently the Charter Chaplain and assistant Public Relations Officer for the Beloit/Rockford Chapter 41 of the Montford Point Marine Association.

Energy & Environment

Transitioning out of fossil fuel

By Drs. Robert & Sonia Vogl

President and Vice President, Illinois Renewable Energy Association

S

audi and Russian oil ministers recently announced that they will maintain oil production at current high levels for the next few months which suggests prices could go lower. Increased production from Iran will add to the glut, as will the United States’ storage facilities reaching capacity.

While Saudi production is a leading factor in the oil surplus, contributions have come from fracking in the United States and tar sands production in Canada. But the latter two sources are cutting production in response to low oil prices. According to a New York Times article 60 oil and gas companies have filed for bankruptcy over the last 16 months. If energy prices stay low another couple of months the number of bankruptcies could double and lead to a

major consolidation in the industry.

Low energy prices, looming bankruptcies, major cuts in capital investments to fund costly drilling efforts in deep offshore, formidable Arctic sites and fracking operations could lead to a dramatic reduction in the supply of oil and gas. If so prices could rise once again.

With the historic dramatic swings in the prices of fossil fuel energy, it would seem wise to reduce our dependence on these resources. If carbon reductions are anywhere near the levels called for to avoid dramatic climate changes, many of the sources of fossil fuels may never be consumed.

With all the innovations in energy production and storage and continuing gains in energy efficiency and renewable energy, the stage is set for escaping the volatility of oil and gas prices. With increased transportation options such as Uber and similar services and the promise of high speed rail the path

away from fossil fuel is being developed. Increasing consideration is being giving to restoring light rail service connecting communities and within communities, which would further reduce carbon emissions while cleaning the air.

As fossil fuel interests fight to protect their market Amory Lovins sees market competition from efficiency and renewable energy as bigger threats to them. The demand for gasoline has fallen for nearly a decade both in Europe and the United States from technological improvements, increased variety in transportation options and changing citizen values.

As capital intensive operations oil companies take nearly a decade before they realize a return on their investments in new oil wells and face increasing risks by seeking oil in Arctic areas and deep ocean drilling.

Lovins reminds us that a dramatic change in oil supplies could come via military actions or cyber

attacks on concentrated Saudi oil production facilities. A major successful attack could render their 10 million barrel production per day inoperable for years. While the existing surplus of oil would offset the sudden loss of production capacity for a short period of time the world would be forced to turn to alternatives to keep the economy going. We could move more quickly to fill the gap by installing energy efficiency, renewable energy sources and changing our behavior to reduce our oil consumption.

We have recently heard from several area citizens committed to building energy efficient homes which are off-grid and supplied with renewable energy sources. As the price of solar cells and battery storage systems continue to fall and the cost of grid electricity continues to rise, we can expect more citizen interest in alternative energy options.

Deadpool just F-ing brilliant

By Thomas Simpson Contributor

W

hen a film is sentenced to Developmental Hell you can usually give up your dreams of ever seeing it on the big screen. As early as 2003, Ryan Reynolds expressed an interest in adapting Marvel Comic’s Deadpool for cinema however the project never got off the ground. He would get a chance to play the “merc with a mouth” in 2009’s X-Men Origins: Wolverine, and although Reynolds was praised for his performance, the final interpretation of the character was criticized and any talk of a spin-off was shelved.

Deadpool just wouldn’t die and in 2014 “someone” leaked director Tim Miller’s test footage of a motion captured Reynolds. This created huge demand for the film with fans demanding it be made. Just 24 hours later, it was green-lit. Now, in 2016, Deadpool has finally been released, but has it been worth the wait? Of course it has.

There has been much criticism regarding superhero films over saturation of the film market. Make no mistake, Deadpool may be a comic book movie but he is no superhero, at least not in the traditional sense. Tim Miller’s presents an R-rated foul mouthed mercenary whose penchant for wisecracks are only matched by his love of violence.

Wade Wilson (Reynolds) is a mercenary with

a conscience and even bigger mouth. His life takes an unexpected turn when he meets and falls in love with Vanessa (Monica Baccarin). His happiness is short-lived when he is diagnosed with terminal cancer. A shadowy organization offers to cure his disease by mutating his cells and unleashing enhanced healing powers. Unfortu-

nately for Wilson the procedure leaves him horrifically scarred with his only hope for treatment in the hands of his new worst enemy Ajax (Ed Skrein). Cue the music.

Reynolds was born to play this part and it’s rewarding for all involved to see him finally fulfill his dream of squeezing into red spandex. He’s

clearly having a ball in the role as he pokes fun at his own film career as well as a few friendly pot shots at Hugh Jackman.

Deadpool differs from other comic book characters that we are accustomed to in many ways, the most notable is that he is aware he is the fictional protagonist of his own movie. He often breaks the fourth wall and is hilarious in doing so. The technique is no mere gimmick with Miller inserting it seamlessly into scenes. This is a comedy masquerading as an action film yet it does both genres brilliantly thanks to the conduit in the red suit.

The plot is a little formulaic but the unpredictability of the meta universe created allows for a few surprises, found mostly in the witty dialogue.

It’s a game changer, a term not used loosely as 20th Century Fox is already looking to make more R-rated superhero movies with reports that the third Wolverine film will be aimed at a maturer audience.

Deadpool doesn’t insult its audience, instead it invites us to laugh with it and enjoy it for what it should be. It’s exciting and thrilling but most of all it’s pure fun, even the opening credits are hilarious. Leave the kids at home for this one and treat yourself to some quality entertainment.

WNIJ Presents For Better or Verse 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.

• • • • • This piece stands out, in part, because of context. It was written, I believe some time ago, by a 4th grader in response to one of those old-fashioned Valentines that schoolchildren would exchange with each other. You know the cards I mean—they came in packs of 20 or 25, and you very carefully chose certain cards for certain people in your class. The writer of this poem received one that depicted a boy falling over a rock, and on the card, “I’m falling for you” was printed to complement the image. In response, the writer, probably about 9 or 10 years old, felt compelled, apparently, to let the boy know that she kinda liked him too, so she wrote this poem for him.

It’s a child’s poem, of course, so it’s simple and uses both repetition as its organizing device as well as the uncomplicated metaphor of liking the Valentine-sender as much as the writer likes corn beef. It’s also a poem from another place and time. The child-poet likes corn beef? I doubt that many children nowadays would choose that as a favorite food, if they even know what it is. No, they’d choose, oh, I don’t know, maybe Hotpockets or Chicken McNuggets. The poem also delights because of its innocence—the last line is so shy, so modest, so some other time, decades ago. Some other way of being a child.

Corn Beef

By Doe Marcus

I like corn beef in big and little slices.

I like corn beef with all its smelly spices.

I like corn beef with a pickle too.

I like corn beef like I like you.

I like you fine.

Harper Lee led a life of great courage

By Richard Gray

T

The Conversation

he death of Harper Lee last Friday was big news. Bigger than the deaths of most major writers.

Why? It isn’t because she made worldwide headlines last summer due to the controversy over the recent publication of Go Set A Watchman. That book was initially described as a sequel To Kill A Mockingbird, but is now generally regarded as a shoddy first draft of Lee’s 1960 Pulitzer Prize winning work. It is pretty disappointing.

But Go Set a Watchman does help to suggest why To Kill A Mockingbird made such an impact when it appeared and continues to do so. The 1960 novel, unlike the book published in 2015, is committed without being preachy. It makes serious points about race, class and the sheer delight and agony of growing up in the only way fiction can and should – by immersing

its readers in the lives of its characters. And it tells a story that is simultaneously instructive, insightful and gripping. In short, it makes a difference – to the life, that is, of anyone who ever reads it.

Which brings me back to why the death of Harper Lee is such an event. Without question, To Kill A Mockingbird is one of the most important books written by an American in the latter half of the 20th century.

If that sounds like hype, just consider a few facts and figures. A 1991 survey of 5,000 Americans conducted by the Library of Congress to determine which book had made the greatest difference in their readers’ lives listed To Kill A Mockingbird as second only to the Bible. One of president Bill Clinton’s closest friends, James Carville, declared in his memoir that reading Lee’s novel when he was 16 “changed everything” for him. “When I got to the last page,” Carville said: “I closed it and said, ‘they’re right and we’re wrong’. The issue was literally black and white, and we [white southerners] were absolutely,

Theatre

Patsy Cline musical arrives at the Monroe Arts Center Staff Report The musical A Closer Walk with Patsy Cline moves into the area with its first show on Saturday, March 12 at the Monroe Arts Center, 1315 11th Street, in Monroe, Wisconsin. This performance traces the late star’s life from her early days and radio fame through her rise at the Grand Ole Opry and beyond.

A Closer Walk with Patsy Cline was written and created by Dean Regan and reveals the depth and range of Cline’s crossover talent by topping country, blues, pop and gospel charts simultaneously in the 1950s and early 1960s. This show is produced by Springer Theatricals and the Springer Opera House which is the official State Theatre of Georgia, located in downtown Columbus. This musical won the Best New Show Award when it premiered in Branson, Missouri in 1995 and has enjoyed praise during its inaugural 36-city North American tour.

This musical features singer and actress Sandia Ahlers, who sings 22 of Cline’s greatest hits throughout the performance. Ahlers previous appeared at Monroe Arts Center in April 2014 when she played Ramona Juracko in the national tour of Della’s Diner.

“A Closer Walk with Patsy Cline is one of the

warmest, happiest shows any theatre is ever likely to present. There are still a lot of folks out there who have no idea what an all-round musical stylist Patsy really was,” said Springer Theatricals artistic director Paul R. Pierce. “Small wonder that this show has created so many new Patsy fans – especially among young people who are just discovering the soul and spirit of this great American artist.”

Reserved tickets for this show are $20-25 and $10 for students 18 and under. Tickets are available through the Monroe Arts Center box office at 1315 11th Street in Monroe, by calling 608-325-5700 or 888-596-1249, or can be ordered online at monroeartscenter.com.

positively on the wrong side.”

So thoroughly has To Kill A Mockingbird permeated contemporary culture and popular discourse, and American culture in particular, that the battle over Clinton’s impeachment included a debate about the meaning of the novel. Special prosecutor Kenneth Starr attempted to co-opt the hero of To Kill A Mockingbird, lawyer Atticus Finch, for the prosecution. Clinton’s personal attorney, David E Kendall, retaliated with an opinion column in the New York Times titled “To Distort a Mockingbird”, in which he interpreted the moral values of the novel in defence of the president.

The point, both men knew, is that they could make such claims for and against a beleaguered president with the confidence that their audience – American voters, the general public at home and abroad – would know who and what they were talking about. After all, in the United States, To Kill A Mockingbird was, until this moment, the most widely assigned reading of any living author in US high schools; and, among

all English language authors living or dead, she remains only below William Shakespeare, Nathaniel Hawthorne and Mark Twain. To Kill a Mockingbird has sold over 30m copies in English worldwide, and has been translated into 40 languages.

“Real courage” goes one of the most memorable quotes in To Kill A Mockingbird, “is … when you know when you’re licked before you begin, but you begin anyway and see it through no matter what”. Harper Lee showed real courage throughout her life – not least, by writing a book that went against the tide of majority white opinion in the American South at the time. Her reward for that courage is to be loved by generations of readers, who have discovered – and will continue to do so – that reading her work can change everything.

Commentary

Rationing drugs should be transparent

By Wendy F. Hensel & Leslie E. Wolf

appreciate what the ADA requires.

The Conversation

T

he United States is facing a shortage of prescription drugs, ranging from antibiotics to cancer treatments. These shortages are putting the medical profession in the frequent position of deciding who will get the drugs that are in short supply and, more importantly, who will not.

Physicians and hospitals always have had to make rationing decisions in times of shortage. But these decisions usually are made behind the scenes. A recent New York Times article about the drug shortages shines a light on the rationing that is occurring.

According to the article, the decision-making process varies considerably across institutions. For instance, in some hospitals formal ethics committees make these decisions. At others, these decisions are made by individual physicians, pharmacists or even drug company executives.

And, as the article also reports, patients typically are not told of the shortage and have no idea that their choice of treatment has been limited, even though the decision may delay their recovery, increase their pain or, in some cases, potentially accelerate their death.

As legal experts in medical ethics and disability law who have conducted research on the allocation of medical resources, we were struck by the general lack of awareness of the law evident in the article. The fact is, there are civil rights laws and state laws governing informed consent that apply to such decisions, even in times of public health emergencies and medical shortages.

These laws constrain physician decision-making and must be taken into account on the front end in making treatment or distribution decisions for all patients and in particular, we would argue, for patients with disabilities.

Bias against people with disabilities

In 1990, Congress passed the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) to provide protection to people with disabilities and assure equal opportunity, access and participation in all areas of public life. The ADA applies to both public and private hospitals, as well as physicians providing care to patients.

Secrecy prevents informed consent

The ADA prohibits the use of any eligibility criteria that would screen out people with disabilities from receiving necessary services, including medical care.

But, in the past, drug and treatment allocation protocols or distribution plans created by medical professionals in times of shortage have failed to acknowledge that the ADA limits their discretion.

In 2013, we reviewed the allocation protocols developed by public health and medical organizations in providing critical care, such as ventilators, to guide medical decision-making in the event of shortages during an H1NI flu pandemic.

Some of these groups have made recommendations that physicians restrict access to treatment based on patients’ diagnosed disability, their anticipated quality of life, the duration or intensity of their need for care and the treatment effectiveness.

All of these criteria to varying degrees raise the troubling potential for disability bias to play a role.

For example, categorically preventing all individuals with severe mental retardation from all access to ventilators clearly violates the ADA. Likewise, refusing to treat an individual with cystic fibrosis for swine flu because he will still have cystic fibrosis after treatment, and thus a “poor quality of life,� is unlawful.

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.

Quality of life assessments allow the prejudices of health professionals and laypeople, who systematically underestimate the quality of life experienced by people with disabilities, to result in the denial of treatment.

To stop bias, decisions should be made in the open

Given this background, there is little reason to believe that allocation decisions in other situations where medicine or equipment is in short supply will be free from bias against people with disabilities.

The New York Times article coincided with the publication of an ethical framework for allocating pediatric cancer drugs in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute. The authors bring attention both to a persistent problem of drug shortages and to the need for a more transparent and inclusive process for deciding who should get rationed drugs.

Although this particular decision framework laudably rejects consideration of disability, it fails to recognize or discuss the fact that such consideration is legally impermissible under the ADA. As to the kinds of ad hoc decision-making described in the New York Times article, they are even less likely to

The secrecy surrounding allocation decisions is also in conflict with state laws concerning informed consent.

Patients have a right to know when and why their physicians restrict their access to viable treatment options. State tort law governs when a physician must give this information to her patients. Indeed, state courts explicitly lay out when a physician must give this information to her patients.

Just over half the states have adopted a physician-centered standard that allows the profession to determine when disclosure is desirable. Other states have adopted the more liberal patient-centered standard, which requires physicians to disclose information that most patients would find relevant to their treatment. Under either standard, physicians have a legal obligation to inform patients of shortages when the shortages affect their care, the risks they face, or their prognosis.

Patients have the right to make informed decisions about their treatment options. This includes knowing when they are being denied effective and otherwise recommended treatment because there is a drug shortage.

The drug shortages are not likely to go away any time soon. Although the medical profession must make hard choices about how to allocate care, these decisions need not and should not be shrouded in mystery.

We need to acknowledge that rationing decisions are being made in the U.S. health system. The limitations on care, the reasons for them and how care will be dispensed should be debated openly.

And those discussions must include the voices of people with disabilities, who so often have been impacted by such decisions. They should also include civil rights experts who can ensure that any allocation protocol incorporates the legal protections society already has put in place.

It is neither fair for physicians to bear this burden alone nor right for people with disabilities unknowingly to be affected at the most fundamental level by decisions made behind closed doors.

Outside the room vs inside the room

Capitol Fax

T

here are always two audiences for formal gubernatorial addresses: 1) Legislators who actually attend; and 2) Everyone else outside the Statehouse who watch it or read about it later.

Gov. Bruce Rauner’s budget address last week seemed far more designed for people outside the building, most of whom don’t really care about the intricacies of government finance. Most do, however, want to see everyone finally get along and end this 8-month governmental impasse, despite what you may read in online comment sections.

That’s probably why Rauner barely even talked about the budget. It’s no surprise why. For the first time since Illinois became a state in 1818 a governor has submitted a budget for the next fiscal year without having passed a budget for the current fiscal year.

The failure is not just an embarrassment. Tens of thousands of the most vulnerable Illinoisans are paying dearly. No budget means the state can’t help homeless teens, assist women with the trauma of a brutal rape or help addicts kick heroin.

Tens of thousands more may have to drop out of college because state universities and a

special scholarship program aren’t being funded.

The majority African-American Chicago State University is perilously close to shutting down, as are Western Illinois University and Eastern Illinois University.

Even Rauner’s lines that some described as an “olive branch” to the Democratic legislative majority seemed aimed more at the folks back home.

Why? Well, words, even very kind words, are not going to be enough to get this done. The sides are simply too far apart, and now that election season has cranked up again, I’m not sure how this thing is going to be resolved.

The governor wants Democrats to help him undermine their labor union allies before he’ll cut a budget deal. But he’s got tens of millions of dollars in campaign bank accounts which are already being unleashed on Democrats. They won’t unilaterally disarm themselves in the face of a threat like that.

House Speaker Michael Madigan is one of those Democrats with a well-funded primary opponent. Despite adamant denials from the governor and the opponent himself, Madigan firmly believes that Rauner put the guy into the race.

So, after Rauner concluded his budget address and turned to shake Madigan’s hand, Madigan

leaned in and sarcastically cracked, “Thanks for the candidate.”

This was the second time that Madigan “thanked” the governor for his opponent. The first time was immediately after January’s State of the State Address. A noisy House chamber meant Rauner didn’t understand what Madigan said, thinking he made some comment about state Rep. Jack Franks. But the message came through loud and clear last week.

Some people think that if we could just get rid of Mike Madigan then the governor would have a free hand to solve all the state’s problems.

But that’s just not the reality. Almost all rank and file Democratic legislators are adamant about opposing Rauner.

Hours after his budget address, Rauner attended the Illinois Legislative Black Caucus’ annual dinner event. The governor chatted with folks and was then unexpectedly asked to speak. Rauner relied on his usual stump speech that he gives at black churches, saying “The Good Lord didn’t make us Democrats and Republicans, the Good Lord put us on Earth to do His work.” He talked about how he wanted to work with everyone in the room. But then he laid an egg.

“My agenda, my goal aligns exactly with the

interests of the African-American community,” Rauner declared. “But we’ve got a broken politics in Illinois and around America where African-Americans primarily vote Democrat and as a result Democratic leaders can pretty much ignore the interests of the African-American community because they have the votes all locked up anyway.”

Um, most people at the dinner were Democratic leaders, and most of them were also African-Americans. His remarks were taken as a direct insult by many in attendance.

Rauner’s comments were from an often-used GOP playbook. And I don’t think he had ill intentions because he also said, “Republicans don’t want to listen to African-American concerns because they never get their votes. That is wrong.

We should change that. We should work together in the common interests.”

I don’t know if many people heard that, but they did applaud when Rauner said he wanted to spend more money on education “so it goes disproportionately to low income schools.”

What he didn’t say, but what everyone in the room knew, is that he will only agree to do this after Democrats help him gut the power of organized labor.

And that brings us back to Square One.

Letters to the Editor

Restoring my faith in humanity

Sometimes the world news can get depressing.

When I open up the paper each day (or read it online), it seems like there is another tragedy or another life ruined. It can have a very negative impact of your view humanity. Well, this past Christmas Eve my faith in the ability of a couple human beings to show compassion and sacrifice for a complete stranger was restored.

I hope you read on as I relay my story to you…

It all started a week before I was to take my family from the Detroit area (my current home) to Minnesota (where my wife’s family is from and I lived for 20 years). The check engine light on my van came on so I made an appointment and took it to my local dealer. $200 later it turned out I just needed a new gas cap and a bulb replaced. As long as the check engine light was off, I didn’t care. So we started our journey around noon on Christmas Eve. Our van was packed tight for five days in Minnesota and Christmas gifts, including the occupants: grandma, grandpa, my two kids (5 and 6 years old), my wife, myself and the family dog. We were headed to Rochester, Minnesota and we were grateful that the weather was cooperating.

Anyway, we made it through Chicago and stopped at an oasis just north of the city. My low tire light had come on, but unfortunately the tire pump

was out of service at the station. However, when we stopped, I could tell my engine did not smell right.

Now I am no mechanic, but I opened the hood to take a look. It was obvious something was leaking because my engine was wet and what we were smelling was whatever was spraying on the hot engine smoldering. After looking things over we noticed that my radiator overflow tank (I think that is what it is called) was empty. So I went into the gas station at the oasis and bought radiator fluid, hoping that it might solve the problem. We then drove on to the Belvidere Oasis, where the tire pump was working and to check on the radiator. Unfortunately, the radiator seemed worse, so we filled the overflow tank up again and thought our best chance to find anything open would be to go into Rockford and look for an auto parts store and do our best.

To set the stage: it is Christmas Eve after 5pm and almost everything is closed. We are driving into Rockford, but so much smoke is billowing out of my engine, we can barely see. The smoke is coming into the car and people driving next to us are pointing at the smoke as if we had not noticed it!

We knew our chances were almost zero of finding anyplace open. Finally, after searching with no luck we pulled over into a Meineke Car Care Center.

Now all the lights were off, but two people were just

leaving. I asked one of the people leaving if he knew of any place that might be open tonight and he said no. I lifted my hood to take a look and he came over and looked with me. He (his name was John) then informed me if that we would have kept driving for 10 more minutes, our engine would have been ruined. He then told me that he had already sent all the mechanics home, but to pull the car into the shop and he would look at it. While he was doing this I went into crisis mode, trying to figure out any way that we were going to continue our trip. Every car rental place was closed (for Christmas Eve and Christmas day) and many hotels were booked. I was thinking worst case scenario: The car will not be fixed until Monday (it was Thursday), I had already paid for our hotel in Rochester, MN., we had family and friends that booked 6 other rooms at our hotel in Minnesota (over the weekend) that would be missing us, we would miss out on 2 family Christmases and an important business meeting I had 1st thing Monday morning. So we were probably going to be stuck in Rockford with two children, grandma/grandpa and our dog. Things were not looking good.

Well, as it turns out, John was the owner of the Meineke and he said he would help us out. Now I am sure he had family Christmas Eve plans, as well

as his employee (Tiffany), but they agreed to help us out. John sent Tiffany down the street to pick up some parts for our radiator and after two hours of working on our van on Christmas Eve, they had fixed it. We could now continue on our journey.

As they finished I was sure my bill was going to be $400-$500 or more. I calculated that $100-$150/ hour plus parts and Emergency or Holiday/Overtime costs. When I went to pay John, he would not accept any money and he simply told us, “Merry Christmas”. I was in disbelief. We were so desperate and we did not live in the area. It was not like I was going to be able to tell my neighbors to go to his business for their car care needs. It was a completely unselfish act of kindness with no expectation of benefits for his business. I feel indebted to John to at least share his story with the good people of Rockford. John does not look like the person you want to meet in a dark alley, but he is a reminder to not judge a book by its cover. John (and Tiffany) understood the meaning of Christmas, to give rather than receive. Thank you for reminding me that although things sometimes look bleak, the kindness of a complete stranger can make all the difference in the world.

Your Horoscope

By Denise Guzzardo Week of Feb. 24-March 1, 2016

This Week: We have moved into the sign of Pisces which encourages creative projects as well as emotional stimulus. It can feel as though we need to hang on to the wall from one day to the next. Yet clarity arrives at the same time causing us to second guess everything. The full moon in Virgo on February 22 will leave some rippling effects throughout this week. The power packing aspect arrives March 8 when the solar eclipse in Taurus provides us with the opportunity to let go of the past. Take advantage of this support. Enjoy!

Aries (March 21 to April 19) — Previous efforts with a large career move continue to create rippling effects in the months to come.

Your work will be seen and shared with those that can benefit from your gifts the most. Make sure you’re resting, exercising and eating your Wheaties because the spring and summer months will be packed with activity. Romantic options are abundant, Aries.

Taurus (April 20 to May 20)­— You may be surprised when you receive a long-distance call or letter from someone in your past. This is a great time to emotionally catch up and get the scoop surrounding those you care about. Upsetting news may also arrive regarding the health of another, keep in touch and offer emotional support.

The outcome will be better than initially diagnosed, Taurus.

Gemini (May 21 to June 20) — You may need to open the door a bit for a friend or family member. Lately those around you could accuse you of acting like a bear in hibernation. In other words you’ve been in your shell way too long, time to get out and about. Travel plans are on the horizon for you or a loved one that prove to be beneficial on a personal and professional note.

Friday all eyes are on you, Gemini.

Cancer (June 21 to July 22) — A family gathering could start a new foundation of love and expression. We all get overwhelmed with daily tasks and activities as the time keeps rolling by.

Precious moments are few and far between and life is very short. A healing energy surrounds your home and family at this time. Embrace this aspect, Cancer.

Leo (July 23 to Aug. 22) — An answer to a prayer arrives with career shortly. Upgrades with financial gain allow you to feel relieved and refreshed. You’re coming into an extremely busy time now. Make sure you’re taking time out to rest and regroup. An unexpected loss may leave a friend or loved one spinning. Offer your love and support, Leo. Virgo (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) — Try not to waste so much valuable time on the negative behavior of another now. Yes it is true that an

organization or individual is jealous of your success. However; there is nothing you can do to change that. Allowing them to make an impact on your happy life will only encourage them to win. Continue to rise above the pettiness and beat them at their own game, Virgo.

Libra (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) — Try not to work yourself into a tizzy over a family matter now. The outcome of this situation turns out way better than you expect. Finances begin to take a turn for the better at this time. Your long-term goals and ambitions begin to stretch past the point of your imagination. A significant other is provided a new opportunity as well, Libra.

Scorpio (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) — Romance is not necessarily a substitute for all of the responsibilities you’ve had on your plate recently. However; it is a start anyway. If you can allow someone else to let you feel good or respect you then it becomes easier to respect yourself. There is no more room for self punishment in your life, delete it!

Sagittarius (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) — Spring is just around the corner and business begins to flourish at this time. You have the eye for the perfect fit in your work environment and others are recognizing your gifts. Unexpected public acclaim or

recognition arrives at this time. Put your best foot forward and dress for success, all eyes are on you this week, Sag. Capricorn (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) — You’re tying up loose ends and you’re able to enjoy some free time shortly. Take some time away to regroup and heal your overworked mind and body. You don’t have to alienate yourself in order to keep in check. You can balance your priorities, time and energy with ease now, Capricorn.

Aquarius (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) — This is a fabulous time to launch a creative project that has been sitting on the back burner for way too long. It’s been wise of you not to put all of your eggs in one basket and that will be emphasized in the months to come.

There are many ways to creatively expand your finances, so take some risks and accept the payoffs now, Aquarius.

Pisces (Feb. 19 to March 20) — If you feel a bit isolated you may need to put yourself out there a little more. Some of those around you may be shutting down a bit to regroup, try not to take any of this behavior too personal. In the meantime, this allows you to explore new relationships and activities. Your personal life is getting ready to expand. Keep an open mind and an open heart, Pisces.

THERE IS A NEED FOR NEW PHYSICAL THERAPY EQUIPMENT

M

ILESTONE’s mission is to help each Individual reach their fullest potential and live as full a life as possible. Our Interdisciplinary team includes both physical and occupational therapists and a PT/OT program is designed for each Individual to meet their needs.

Many times rehabilitation therapy is needed after an extended hospital stay, and can keep a person ambulatory. Chris’ family gained first hand knowledge about the difference a strong PT/OT department can make after she returned to MILESTONE after an extended hospital stay.

Before she had to go to the hospital Chris was able to walk, but after a month of being mostly bedridden she returned to Milestone non-ambulatory. With guidance, work, time and care from the PT/OT team, she was able to regain the ability to walk with the same level of assistance as before she entered the hospital. Jill Morgan, MILESTONE’s PT/OT coordinator, says, keeping our individuals ambulatory and mobile for as long as possible is entirely essential to their overall health. Weight bearing stimulates bone strength, range of motion exercises, active or passive promotes circulation, stimulates the bowels and keeps their joints fluid and the 1 on 1 attention gives them comfort and stability.

Without PT and OT our individuals health would deteriorate at a more rapid rate, according to Morgan, who adds, osteoporosis, constipation and contracture of muscles and fusion of bones would occur more rapidly and more quickly interfere with our ability to care for them. Their quality of life would seriously decline.

Providing and supporting what limited mobility many of our individuals have is truly as vital and valuable as any treatment or medication. But in order to do this equipment is needed, everything from walkers, to air pressure and orthotic splints, custom molded shoes, versiform cushions and walking belts. There is currently a need for standers, along with gravity, the standers help stimulate bone growth and helps maintain bone strength. The straightening and stretching of the leg mucsles and tendons also help an Individual maintain lower extremity mobility allowing for better personal care and aiding in the potential for ambulation. The change in perspective (going from sitting to standing) stimulates brain activity, and visual motor and proprioceptual skills.

Our current standers are over 20 years old and we need additional ones. Please call the Resource Development Department at (815) 639-2965 if you would like information about making a donation for this program.

Now that you’ve got your strawberry system setup and are managing them, you may have diseases and insect pests to deal with. Strawberries tend to have many different diseases that target them. They can affect the fruit, leaves, stolons, and the roots of the plant. Insect pests on strawberries are those that may eat the leaves, fruits, and flowers.

When dealing with what you suspect is either insect damage or disease, it’s best to look through Extension guides that are available. Damage from insects and diseases can look very similar.

If you’ve identified the insect or disease problem, find a publication that addresses controlling that specific pest.

Your main diseases on strawberries are Anthracnose, Angular Leaf Spot, Gray Mold, and Powdery Mildew. Anthracnose symptoms show up as red, brown discoloration on the leaf blades, black stolons, and blotches on the fruit. Angular Leaf Spot will appear as water soaked lesions on the lower leaf.

Like its name denotes, Gray Mold will be gray, velvety growth on the fruit. If you have grown any cucurbits, you’ve most likely had powdery mildew which can also spread to strawberries. All of these diseases are caused by a pathogen, whether a bacteria

Cultural controls for insect pest management include removing dead leaf litter so insects cannot hide and increase populations, controlling weeds in the strawberry patch, and chemical control as a final option. Depending on the number of strawberry plants you have, you may find that hand removal of these insects is the easiest option.

As I end the strawberry overview on growing and managing, know that strawberry plants do remarkably well in our area with numerous strawberry operations nearby. Growers have very good success with the crop in our climate and it’s very easy to setup a strawberry patch to yield well for you and your family. Next week I’ll talk about growing raspberries.

Monitoring the pace of corn and soybean consumption

By Debra Levey larson U of I News Bureau

URBANA – March 2016 corn futures have traded in a range of about 25 cents over the past two months, while March soybean futures have traded in a range of about 40 cents as the markets react to new information or changed expectations about the supply and demand balance.

According to University of Illinois agricultural economist Darrel Good, the overall price trend has been generally sideways since late last fall.

“The sideways price pattern reflects ongoing expectations of adequate supplies of both crops to meet consumption needs during the current marketing year, but the pace of consumption is continually monitored to determine if those expectations should be altered,” Good says.

Forcorn,thepaceofconsumptioncanbemonitored on a weekly basis for exports and ethanol production.

The pace of feed and residual use is revealed on a quarterly basis with the release of the USDA Grain Stocks reports. For soybeans, the pace of consumption can be monitored on a weekly basis for exports and on a monthly basis for the domestic crush.

The USDA now projects 2015-16 marketing year corn exports at 1.65 billion bushels. With about 28 weeks left in the marketing year, the USDA reports cumulative export inspections at 552 million bushels. During the first four months of the year, Census Bureau export estimates exceeded inspections by 32 million bushels.

“If that margin has persisted, exports have reached about 584 million bushels,” Good says. “That reflects an average weekly pace of 23.9 million bushels. To reach 1.65 billion bushels for the year, exports during the remainder of the year need to total 1.066 billion bushels,oranaverageof38.3millionbushelsperweek.”

Export inspections were at a marketing year of 35.4 million bushels for the most recent reporting week

ended Feb. 18. As of Feb. 11, the USDA reported that 492 million bushels of corn had been sold for export, but not yet shipped.

“An average of about 20 million bushels of new sales will be required weekly for sales to reach 1.65 billion bushels,” Good says. “New sales for the five weeks that ended Feb. 11 averaged 35.9 million bushels per week.

The recent pace of new sales is encouraging.”

According to Good, corn used for production of ethanol and co-products during the current year is projected at 5.225 billion bushels, 16 million more than consumed last year. In addition, sorghum use for ethanolproductionisexpectedtobeupabout75million bushels year-over-year. Total feedstock use is expected to be up about 1.7 percent. Ethanol production during the first five and half months of the marketing year was about 2.4 percent larger than during the same period last year, but that margin has narrowed in recent weeks.

The USDA now projects 2015-16 marketing year soybean exports at 1.69 billion bushels. With about 28 weeks left in the marketing year, the USDA reports cumulative export inspections at 1.374 billion bushels.

Duringthefirstfourmonthsoftheyear,CensusBureau export estimates exceeded inspections by 19 million bushels. If that margin has persisted, exports have reached about 1.393 billion bushels. That reflects an average weekly pace of 57 million bushels. To reach 1.69 billion bushels for the year, exports during the remainder of the year need to total only 297 million bushels, or an average of 10.7 million bushels per week.

The domestic soybean crush during the current marketing year is projected at 1.88 billion bushels, only 7 million more than crushed last year. The crush in September 2015 was much larger than in September 2014 when soybeans were in limited supply. For the period October 2015 through January 2016, however, the crush was smaller than that of a year ago so that the cumulativecrushduringthefirstfivemonthsoftheyear was about equal that of a year ago.

Blue line options for Hawks as deadline looms

By Adam Hess Contributor

I

f there’s any silver lining to the Blackhawks getting trounced by the Minnesota Wild 6-1 in last Sunday’s Stadium Series game, it’s that their biggest need area may have finally been identified as the NHL trade deadline approaches.

The Chicago blue line looked borderline terrible for most of the night, and front and center having a terrible game was Brent Seabrook. Seabrook is having one of the worst seasons of his career when it comes to the underlying numbers, particularly in possession, where he’s been shelled.

Seabrook controls an abysmal 47.5 percent of shot attempts at 5v5, his worst clip in the Joel Quenneville era.

The struggles of the blue line in Minnesota made it evident that Stan Bowman should seek to address that area in the coming weeks. The Blackhawks need a possession driver back there in the worst way, even if that means expanding Erik Gustaffson’s role a bit more.

The best options are outside of Chicago, though. Here are three of the best players the Blackhawks could pursue via trade in the coming weeks.

Keith Yandle New York Rangers

Arguably the best option for the Blackhawks is Keith Yandle of the New York Rangers. Yandle is an offensive defenseman in nearly every sense of the word: he moves the puck well, skates well, has a great shot, and is strong on the power play.

Compared to his teammates, he starts 29.15 percent more of his shifts in the offensive zone, proving that he can be relied upon to generate offense from the back end.

He’s also the ideal possession driver for the Chicago blue line. Yandle has controlled 52.43 percent of the shot attempts at 5v5 this season.

In fact, since becoming a full-time NHL defenseman in 2007-08, Yandle has finished with a Corsi For below 50 percent just once.

The Blackhawks would have a few hoops to jump through to acquire Yandle, though. The Ranger would have to be willing to deal him, which may not be the case considering they’re in a playoff spot right now.

New York also just traded for Yandle last year, and paid a big price to do so. If they want to get a comparable return for Yandle that they gave up, the Blackhawks may be priced out of the market.

Overall, though Yandle is probably the best

option to fill the role the Blackhaws need. If Bowman decides to go all in on a defenseman, Yandle would likely be atop his list.

Dan Hamhuis Vancouver Canucks

Hamhuis is another solid option for the Blackhawks to add to the blue line. Hamhuis plays more of a two-way game than Yandle, but that is always welcome in Joel Quenneville’s system.

Hamhuis has tread water in the possession game just fine this season, siting at 49.26 percent Corsi in 35 games. He plays significantly less offensive situations than Yandle, though, so there’s where the difference comes from.

Hamhuis has struggled with injury lately, though, which is why he’s played just 35 games this season. If that’s a concern for Chicago, they may avoid the 32-year-old blue liner.

He’d also have to agree to leave Vancouver for Chicago due to his no trade clause. The Blackhawks haven’t been rumored to be in on him, but if they showed interest, it’s likely that Hamhuis would reciprocate interest in hopes of winning a Stanley Cup. He shouldn’t be too expensive for the Blackhawks to acquire, and would be a solid

addition to the blue line. If Bowman and Vancouver GM Jim Benning can reach an agreement, this would be a good acquisition for Chicago.

David Schlemko New Jersey Devils

The dark horse option is 28-year-old David Schlemko of New Jersey. Schlemko would be very cost effective, in every sense of the term. He could be had for a relatively cheap return, and carries a cap hit of just $625,000.

Shclemko holds his own in possession just fine, controlling 48.75 percent of shot attempts at 5v5 this season. That isn’t great, but the Blackhawks could do much worse. He’d be able to play a good two-way game and be useful in the offensive situations, giving Quenneville some flexibility.

Yandle is obviously the best option, but there are questions about his availability. If the Ranger can’t be had, Schelmko would be a solid backup option to strengthen the depth of the blue line on a dime.

Tales from the Trough

Setbacks aside, IceHogs still on top

By Todd Reicher

Upcoming games

R

ockford faced the Manitoba Moose two times this week, and despite their lackluster record, the Moose took it to the ‘Hogs, winning both contests.

The first game of the series, a Wednesday school-day game, the Moose beat Rockford 5-2.

Rockford got on the board first with a shorthanded tally from Tanner Kero, assisted by Marko Dano, to put Rockford up 1-0.

Manitoba responded a few minutes later with the equalizing goal at 6:34 of the period.

Shortly after, Rockford would go down a skater when Dano was boarded hard in the defensive zone, resulting in Mark McNeill coming to his defense.

Despite Rockford doubling up the Moose in shots, 14-7, the game remained tied after one.

Patrice Cormier tallied a power play marker 54 seconds into the second period to give the Moose their first lead of the game.

Cormier would strike again less than two minutes later to extend the lead to 3-1.

It looked as if coach Ted Dent was going to pull Michael Leighton as he headed to the bench, but after the referees spoke, Dent miswrote his lineup, putting injured Mark Visentin on the roster sheet, meaning Mac Carruth was ineligible to take his place. Carruth headed off the ice and Leighton remained in the contest.

Late in the period, McNeill scored his 13th goal of the campaign, assisted by Ryan Hartman, to bring the score to 3-2.

The IceHogs weren’t able to sustain any pressure in the third, and the Moose scored their fourth goal of the game 4:31 into the final period.

Cormier secured his hat trick goal at 11:22 of the period, shorthanded, to put the game out of reach for Rockford, 5-2.

Two nights later, the Moose returned for the second game of the brief series. Carruth would get the nod in net this game with Leighton sitting backup.

Maintoba got on the board first with a power play marker at 8:55. The Moose outshot Rockford

Tonight at Milwaukee, 7 p.m.

Friday at Lake Erie, 6 p.m.

Saturday at Lake Erie, 6:30 p.m.

Rockford IceHogs goaltender Mac Carruth makes a sprawling save during Rockford’s 3-2 loss against the Manitoba Moose on Friday. Todd Reicher

in the first period this game, almost doubling up Rockford 13-7.

Early in the second the Moose extended their lead to 2-0 with an even-strength marker at 1:51.

This was all the scoring in the period as neither team was able to light the lamp again.

The IceHogs finally managed to solve Eric Comrie 12:02 into the final period when Chris DeSousa scored on a sharp-angle shot from the left boards.

Rockford had power play chance with 3:40 left in the game to even things up. However, one minute

into the advantage, the Moose scored shorthanded to bring the Moose ahead 3-1.

Manitoba was called for two late hooking penalties, giving Rockford a chance to tie the game.

With 22 seconds left, Rockford’s Cameron Schilling scored a power play marker to cut the lead to 3-2. Despite having a power play for the rest of the game, Rockford was unable to tally the tying goal as the Moose finished with a 3-2 win. Despite putting 21 shots on net in the third, Rockford was only able to amass two goals.

The following night, Rockford over to Chicago for a Lottery Cup matchup against the Wolves.

Rockford got on the board quickly with Dennis Robertson scoring his second goal of the season 69 seconds into the game.

The IceHogs gave up a power play goal 5:14 in the first period to knot the score at 1-1.

With just over five minutes remaining in the period, Ryan Haggerty put his sixth goal of the season into the net to give Rockford their second lead of the game.

The Wolves had an opportunity to even the score with 20 seconds left in the first when Danny Kristo was awarded a penalty shot. Leighton denied the shot attempt, leaving the score at 2-1 after the first.

Similar to the end of the previous game, Rockford fired another 21 shots on goal in the period, a season high.

Chicago made good on a power play marker 7:41 into the second to tie the score at 2-2, where the score would remain until late in the third period.

Kirill Gotovets scored with 5:08 left in the contest to give Rockford a big 3-2 lead.

The Wolves pulled their netminder Pheonix Copley in the waning minute, but Dane Walters scored an empty net goal to secure the lead for Rockford, 4-2.

Rockford plays three road games this week, starting with a Wednesday matchup against the Milwaukee Admirals, which will temporarily determine first place in the Division.

The IceHogs will then head over to Ohio for a weekend series against the Lake Erie Monsters.

The first game is on Friday with the second game the following night.

Left wing Daniel Ciampini and defenseman Nick Mattson were reassigned by the IceHogs to their ECHL affilitate Indy Fuel on Monday.

SPORTS Major League Baseball

What does Jimmy Rollins mean for the Sox?

By James Fegan The Catbird Seat

J

immy Rollins is a minor league signing.

He gets $2 million if he makes the major league roster out of camp and we can discuss about how likely that is to happen, but he’s a minor league signing at an extremely vulnerable position for the organization. There’s no real risk, and the opportunity for much-needed help for someone whose ceiling was, at one point, NL MVP, and was a very good full-time shortstop as recently as 2014 (102 wRC+ with well-reviewed defense), and was projected by FanGraphs readers to be in line for an $7-8 million deal at the beginning of the season.

There’s nothing about the deal itself that isn’t positive.

All of the White Sox offseason moves could be portrayed as savvy bargain hunting on their own merits. The plucked Brett Lawrie from a motivated seller, signed both their catchers after years where they were squeezed out of playing time, worked a Todd Frazier trade for weeks and miraculously kept their top prospects out of the deal, signed Mat Latos after he wore out his welcome in multiple towns and pitched poorly,

and now they’re bringing in Rollins after a down year, at an age long past where anyone just trusts him to bounce back due to his pedigree, and not until after players began streaming into camp and it was clear another chance to start was not coming along.

Buying low to fill all these roster spots lend the Sox a lot of flexibility for this year and beyond, but when it’s the only type of deal they’re willing to make into late-February, are they preserving flexibility, or is this the only level they can shop at?

I have always suspected it’s the former, since they’ve addressed the less pressing anxieties of their roster – end of rotation depth, insurance if Saladino flops – with small, unobtrusive additions and left the gaping maw in right field unaddressed. If they’re not blindly committed to letting Erik Johnson and Tyler Saladino start on a contending team, they’re surely not ignorant to the risk of leaving Avisail Garcia and Adam LaRoche to their own devices. But while I suspect it’s the former, they are doing everything possible to raise reasonable doubt.

Then there’s the whole question of imple-

mentation. It’s been overtly reported that Rollins came to Chicago for the chance to start. That doesn’t bode well for Saladino, and not just for the obvious reasons of a superior player competing with him for playing time.

A glove-first, no-hit option like Saladino needs the commitment of the organization to the idea that his play has value beyond the measurable ugliness of his bat. Compared alongside Rollins, who even at his nadir last season, significantly outhit him (80 wRC+ to 61 wRC+), it will be hard to Saladino to force his way into the lineup with tangible production and his frequent 0-3, 1-4 with a single days will be hard to stick with during a teamwide offensive slump.

A passable defender everywhere, and solidly above-average at third, a bench role is well-suited to Saladino, but what of Carlos Sanchez? If the Sox are willing to entertain an offensive upgrade at short at the possible cost of diminished defense, where is Sanchez’s hat in the ring? Likely drowned out; Rollins is just a minor league deal, but he’s not just another dude in camp, he’s a decorated veteran who has been as superstar and a champion in this league. Unless he’s completely toast and unrosterable, he stands out from two

other candidates who are both likely not able to significantly outplay Rollins, and cannot hope to match his plaudits for leadership and veteran presence, etc. Like Latos, Rollins is an insurance policy with a very direct path toward pushing out who he was meant to insure.

And as with Latos, Rollins shows that the White Sox are very interested in avoiding being stuck with black holes that are allowed to fester through mid-season and doom their playoff hopes, but doesn’t represent the clear upgrade that shows the Sox are taking their push for the playoffs in 2016 with the necessary seriousness.

It would be surprising if Rollins even dented the Sox win projections, and thoroughly unsurprising if he’s just 150 futile plate appearances stalling Tim Anderson’s rapid ascent. But he clearly suggests the Sox care about not wasting their chance to compete in 2016, so when will they finally move beyond suggestion and prove it?
