The Rockford Department of Public Works (DPW) announced today that the North 3rd Street bridge connecting to Whitman Street will be closed from March 19 due to structural deterioration. In a statement from City Engineer Matthew Vitner, DPW says the bridge will be shut down indefinitely and “there are no current plans to repair this structure as the Department investigates the best design solutions for this location.” Following a regular state inspection last April which resulted in a maximum vehicle weight restriction being placed on the bridge the city has conducted special inspections every three months. According to the DPW statement, “The latest inspection report revealed the bridge conditions to be very poor and accelerating to the point of becoming a public safety risk.” A detour across using Jefferson and Main Streets will be signed before the closure. North 6th Street which passes under the bridge will remain open to traffic.

Dangerous rails Crude oil transport risk comes to tracks near you

Galena marks latest in series of explosive railway accidents By Shane Nicholson Managing Editor

A Burlington Northern Santa Fe (BNSF) train carr ying crude oil derailed near the confluence of the Galena River and the Mississippi last Thursday afternoon near the ferry landing south of Galena. BNSF personnel and the Grant County Sheriff ’s Office hazmat team were two of the first responders to the spill. The Dubuque Fire Department sent its foam truck to the scene to battle the flames. Other responders included personnel and equipment from Freeport, Cedarville, Davis, German Valley and Lena. The train had 103 cars filled with crude oil and two “buffer cars” filled with sand. In total, seventeen cars derailed with five of the crude-oil cars catching fire. Each car was carrying approximately 30,000 gallons of crude oil from the Bakken formation of North Dakota. The incident resulted in a massive black smoke plume and flames more than 300-feet high visible on the horizon for miles. The Federal Railroad Administration and the National Transportation Safety Board was notified by BNSF, a Warren Buffett Berkshire Hathaway Inc company.

Safer cars

BNSF reported that the Galena incident happened despite the use of its newer model CPC 1232 rail cars. The supposedly safer car is meant to prevent the massive explosions witnessed outside Galena in the event of a derailment. The CPC 1232 was brought in to replace the older DOT-111 rail car after numerous faults were recognized by regulators and operations over the years. However, the U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT) has recommended that the CPC 1232 models be given improved braking systems and thicker hulls.

February’s Bakken oil train derailment in West Virginia also involved the supposedly safer CPC 1232 model rail cars. Another train which derailed in northern Ontario the same week as the West Virginia incident featured the newer cars, although over a week later seven of the 29 cars that had derailed remained on fire.

Rail vs pipeline safety

A Manhattan Institute study released in 2013 highlighted the dangers of rail transport versus other methods such as over-the-road and pipelines. The study, compiling data from 2005-2009, showed that rail transport of crude oil had a far higher incident rate than oil transported via pipelines, despite more road and rail incidents going unreported. Rail transport, with 2.08 incidents per billion ton miles, was outpaced nearly 10-to-1 by oil transported via roadways. But it nearly quadrupled the rate of incidents related to pipelines, which had just 0.58 incidents per billion ton miles. Both rail and pipeline transportation accounted for an average of 2.4 fatalities per year, but again railway transport saw fatalities at a much higher rate of occurrence as compared to the amount of oil transported. Per billion ton miles, railway incidents saw 0.1 fatalities whilst pipelines witnessed 0.004 deaths. Transport by roadway again proved far more dangerous than the other two methods, accounting for 0.293 deaths per billion ton miles.

Accident increases

According to the Associated Press, railroads saw 493,126 tank cars transporting oil in 2014, up from 407,761 in 2013. In 2008, prior to the boom set off by the opening of well throughout North Dakota, Montana and Canada, See CRASHES on Page 18

My family loves railroads, ink and water

rains and ink track in my family’s blood; I love to watch and learn from both. William Austin Hamilton Loveland (1826–1894) was the one of the founders of the Colorado, Clear Creek and Pacific Railway (later Colorado Central Railroad) and my great-great grandfather. Besides Loveland Pass and the city of Loveland named in his honor, he also was the second owner of the Rocky Mountain News. My Mother, Cecile Loveland Schier, used to give us reading material on William as she worked on the family genealogy, My much-older brother Fred became the real train fanatic in the family, and I remember watching trains with him as they went by my grandmother’s house across from Fairgrounds Park. He also built some pretty cool train sets. I’ve obviously gone over to the inky side, but I’ve always watched trains throughout my life and explored their tracks when I could. Train tracks are often an isolated avenue with trees cloaking

neighborhoods, factories or fields on each side where they don’t run across open landscape. People are closer than you sometimes think as you wander the creosote-soaked timbers. Sometimes you find the strangest things along the rail bed. Everybody must have put a penny or seen one on the track, a smeared streak from the weight and heat of rumbling cars. Sometimes you find an unusual rock, an old junk soda sign, even an arrowhead, or a loose spike, just laying there. I have three spikes on my kitchen counter, really. Two from track along the Rock River and one from track along Kent Creek. I’ve had particular interest in the train tracks I’ve seen along the 320-miles of the Rock River National Water Trail, and in tracks I’ve seen along the Mississippi as I have visited the Quad Cities and Port Byron area. The poor condition of the tracks in the Port Byron area were pointed out to me by the See REACTION on Page 18

Energy and Environment

Drilling focus of Rehm show Offsetting carbon via the world’s oceans

By Robert and Sonia Vogl

President and Vice President, Illinois Renewable Energy Association

he March 4 edition of NPR’s “The Diane Rehm Show” focused on President Obama’s proposal to release new areas for offshore oil and natural gas drilling along the coastal areas in the Gulf, south and mid Atlantic states and off the north slope of Alaska. The panel of four represented oil, economic and environmental interests, providing their various perspectives on the issue. The major focus was on drilling for oil and gas in the south and mid-Atlantic. The case against drilling was made by Jackie Savitz of U.S. Oceans, Oceana and Michael Conathan, director of ocean policy for the Center for American Progress. They oppose drilling in the Atlantic deeming it too great a risk to the existing Atlantic coastal economy of tourism and commercial and recreational fishing. They pointed out that Florida banned drilling off its coasts for the same reasons. Their opposition includes concerns over climate change and the need to move away from our reliance on fossil fuels and toward renewable energy sources. Wall Street Journal reporter Amy Harder indicated that lawmakers and governors representing the south and mid Atlantic states favored drilling and expressed interest in securing some of the oil revenues as well as economic and employment opportunities for their states. In contrast to state level support, some 30 coastal towns have expressed opposition to drilling. The states north of the drilling sites also expressed disapproval of the drilling as there are no economic benefits for them. They fear that oil from a major accident would be carried

north via the Gulf stream damaging their fishing, ocean harvesting and tourism industries. Savitz cited the advantages of installing offshore wind generators which would produce twice as many jobs as drilling while avoiding the risk of a job killing oil spill. Harder injected that offshore wind had its own problems citing the decade long delay in securing approval for them in Cape Cod. Erick Milito of the American Petroleum Institute pointed out the jobs and economic benefits of securing more oil and gas. He cited the national security benefits of reducing our oil imports while lessening the political leverage held by Russia, Iran and Venezuela from their energy supplies. He feels we, too, should benefit from our Atlantic oil resources as the Canadian provinces and Cuba are doing. Attention also focused on drilling in the Arctic. The critics pointed out the risks of a spill in the cold, dark, ice clogged offshore areas of the Arctic where the industry has no emergency response system in place. Again environmental interests opposed drilling while the oil industry representative pointed out that Russia is moving ahead with Arctic explorations. The discussion was informative but lacked the sense of urgency regarding the need to curb our addiction to oil and reliance on fossil fuels. Why risk the long term vitality of the existing coastal economy for the temporary economic gain of consuming a limited amount of oil and natural gas? Curbing fossil fuel developments will accelerate the transition to a more sustainable energy program. Savitz from Oceana believes an aroused public can limit the expansion of ocean drilling.

From EarthTalk Answers about the Environment

Ocean fertilization is a technique whereby swaths of ocean are “seeded” with iron to promote the growth of phytoplankton (microscopic plants that form the base of the marine food chain), and is one of several promising geo-engineering techniques that could help mitigate global warming. Also known as carbon sinking or ocean seeding, the idea was first suggested in the 1980s by Moss Landing Marine Labs’ John Martin, who subsequently conducted experiments off the California coast confirming that phytoplankton growth could be encouraged by dumping ferrous sulfate (iron) into nutrient-deprived areas of the ocean. More recently, California entrepreneur Russ Georgehasdevelopedwaysthroughhisfirm,Planktostouseoceanfertilizationtohelpgovernmentsand companies meet emissions reduction goals. In 2012 Planktos helped the Haida Gwaii tribe of western Canada spread 100 tons of iron sulphate into the Pacific 180 miles off the coast of British Columbia, which triggered a phytoplankton bloom across 10,000 square miles of ocean. Juvenile salmon feed on phytoplankton, and

salmon runs came back fourfold across the region. The tribe is keen to use ocean fertilization to restore the severely depleted salmon fishery they have depended on for centuries and to generate income from the sale of carbon credits to the Canadian government (a carbon credit—or carbon offset—is a credit for greenhouse gas reductions achieved by one entity that can be purchased and used to compensate (offset) the emissions of other entity). But some environmental leaders warn that ocean fertilization might be too good to be true as a tool for mitigating climate change. “Many scientists have suggested that the complex interplaybetweentheironandcarboncyclesprevents any direct extrapolation of how much carbon dioxide willactuallyberemovedfromtheatmospherefollowing fertilization,” says Jackie Savitz, Vice-President for U.S. Oceans at the non-profit Oceana. “This means we will never be able to estimate the benefits, much less verify them well enough to sell carbon offsets based on fertilization.” Savitz adds that “much of the carbon taken up by phytoplankton may simply be re-released when those plants are consumed by bacteria or zooplankton at rates that are impossible to accurately predict.”

Pension reform main focus in Springfield

From Illinois News Network ilnews.org

The Illinois Supreme Court is set to hear both sides of an argument over pension reform. The Wednesday afternoon hearing will feature several attorney firms representing the five plaintiff groups who oppose the change to retirees pensions moving forward. Thestateisalsoexpectedtofeaturetheirargument that they have the power to change contracts given the extraordinary financial situation facing Illinois. Attorney Aaron Maduff, who represents the State Universities Annuitants Association, says the expedited hearing and a handful of amicus briefs siding with the state has increased their work but Maduff says regardless the state’s argument is wrong. “From the plaintiffs’ view, all of us together, I think we all agree that the pension clause is not subject to the police powers, that the Public Act 98-0599 violates the pension clause and as such is unconstitutional.” State Representative Elaine Nekritz, who is considered one of the chief architects of the pension reform law, says there are other requirements the state must balance. “This is not unusual, we do this every year when we create a budget with what is our inevitably limited resources. We have to balance competing constitutional claims.”

Impact in Chicago

There will be impacts on the City of Chicago and other municipalities struggling with pension debt with the outcome of the case. Nekritz, says a decision striking the law down wouldn’t only harm the state, but it could also harm cities like Chicago that are struggling with large amounts of pension debt of their own. “If the pension clause is absolute the City of Chicago is a much more dire situation than the state is and needs more significant relief. I would hate to see the city of Chicago end up like Detroit.” Jim Spiotto, managing director at Chapman Strategic Advisors and a municipal restructuring expert, also says if the pension reform law is thrown out there will be municipal impacts, but Spiotto says thisisanissueofprovidingsomecertaintytoretirees. “But there should be an assurance that this is to make sure they get paid as much as reasonably can be paid but that they don’t, and others, suffer the long term harm of possibly not paying for services, not funding services today, which creates bigger problems tomorrow.” Representative Nekritz says another aspect of the challenged law would increase the overall funding of the pension systems. The court will hear oral arguments from the state and from four firms representing five different groups of retirees Wednesday in Springfield. It’s unclear if the court

will rule from the bench or provide a ruling weeks later before the end of the current fiscal year.

Local fund cuts debated

Shared sacrifice was the focus of a Senate Appropriations committee hearing Monday. With proposed cuts in the local distributive fund for municipalities across the state several mayors and other groups addressed the committee urging lawmakers to go in another direction. Republican State Senator Chris Nybo said the proposed reductions are a much needed haircut. But Voices for Illinois Children’s Emily Miller said it’s not just a haircut. “But you’re not just asking for one haircut. You’re asking for them to compromise the services their communities have used to grow stronger over the years.” Nybo responded that if cities don’t take a haircut, Illinois could be capitulated. “From my perspective, the state of Illinois is facing a guillotine that is about to chop its head of because things are in such terrible condition.” But several mayors addressed the committee saying there needs to be talks about new revenue, rather than just cuts. Other committee members said there has already been shared sacrifice with increased costs municipalities take on every year. Governor Bruce Rauner proposed cutting the local distributive fund in the upcoming fiscal year.

Still on that Carefree Highway 5 decades into his career Gordon Lightfoot continues to entertain and inspire By Nate Johnson Columnist

n an industry where the term “legend” is often thrown around too loosely, the man who well might be Canada’s greatest singer-songwriter of all time fits the word to a tee. During a career spanning over 50 years, Gordon Lightfoot has had thirteen US top 40 hits and 21 in Canada, has been nominated for five Grammys and has won 17 Juno Awards (the Canadian recording industry’s equivalent to the Grammy), and was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2012. Lightfoot is a member of the Canadian Music Hall of Fame, has been decorated with the Governor’s General Aware and the Companion to the Order of Canada honor of merit. The man even has his own postage stamp. Perhaps the greatest reflection of his how large his shadow looms in the world of music is the array of musicians who have recorded his songs, including luminaries such as Bob Dylan (who has called Lightfoot a “mentor”), Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, and Glen Campbell. Such greatness will be on display at the Coronado Theater Tuesday, March 17, as Lightfoot brings his seemingly never-ending touring show to Rockford for the first time since late 2002. This year’s tour, entitled “50 Years On The Carefree Highway”, is over 100 minutes per night of songs from all corners of his history, sprinkled with stories of a lifetime spent on stage.

We had the opportunity to speak with Gordon Lightfoot for a few minutes in advance of his visit to Rockford. The Rock River Times: Mr. Lightfoot, thanks for taking some time for us. How is the current tour going so far? Gordon Lightfoot: Very well, we did some shows in the Southern United States last month and are now home before heading out for the next set of dates, including the show in Rockford. TRRT: What’s your schedule like these days? GL: We do around 80 shows per year. We’ve played every corner of the US, all 50 states, and all across Canada. We generally play venues in the 2000-3000 seat range, more intimate venues than some of the other artists. TRRT: I have to imagine it’s not a matter of how you keep touring exciting as you are so passionate about performing for fans, but how do you prepare differently for touring as the years go on? GL: You have two worlds in life: one world made up of family, one world of music. In the family world, you look after everybody, you do your parenting. I spend a lot of time these days keeping myself in shape for performing. I go to the gym, I try to eat the right foods. I take touring and performing very seriously. TRRT: How much does the continuity of playing with the same supporting musicians mean to you, especially as someone so rooted in the touring lifestyle? See LIGHTFOOT on Page 21

What happens when the dancers are the stars? By Paula Hendrickson Television Columnist

MPI Y L

do so while still holding down their day jobs. Anyone — star or not — willing to put in that much effort and commitment deserves a great deal of credit, even if they don’t make it to the finals or take home a mirror ball trophy. But now that the professional partners are arguably as well known — if not better known — than most of the “stars” it might be time to shake the format up a bit. Maybe acknowledge that the pro dancers are now the real stars of the show and pair them with a new set of random viewers each season. Or devote each season to a different type of celebrity, like sports stars, musicians, or soap stars. At least then viewers unfamiliar with the contestants would have a better frame of reference. The other people competing alongside LaBelle, Herjavec, Somers, and Willis are actress Willow Shields (Primrose Everdeen in “The Hunger Games” films); football player Michael Sam; producer/performer RedFoo; model/ actress Charlotte McKinney; singer/actor Riker Lynch (a Warbler on “Glee”); gymnast Nastia Liukin; and motivational speaker Noah Galloway, a U.S. veteran who lost an arm and a leg to an IED explosion in 2005. How many of this season’s stars had you heard of before this cast was announced? The new season of “Dancing With the Stars” premieres Monday, March 16 at 7:00PM CT on ABC.

When I heard the list of “celebrities” participating in the new season of “Dancing With the Stars,” I only recognized the names of four of the new cast members: the legendary singer Patti LaBelle (who also had a recurring role on “American Horror Story: Freak Show”); “Shark Tank” multi-millionaire Robert Herjavec; sitcom star and Thighmaster maven Suzanne Somers; and actress Rumer Willis, the daughter of Bruce Willis and Demi Moore. Sure, each time they announce a new roster of stars there are several names I’ve never heard before, but I don’t think the number has ever been this high. It usually hovers somewhere around 50 percent. Once I realized I actually recognized the names of four of the professional dancers paired with this season’s stars — plus all four judges and both hosts — it left me wondering: Who are the real stars now? Oh, and did I mention I almost never watch “Dancing With the Stars” anymore? On a show where viewers get to vote for their favorite contestants, the better-known celebrities always have an edge, even against competitors who might be better dancers but aren’t that well known outside of their own professions. You just have to hope good dancing will win over the hearts and votes of viewers, regardless of how large or active any one competitor’s fan club may be. Even casual “Dancing With the Stars” viewers know that all of the contestants work incredibly hard learning dancing skills, memorizing new choreography each week, and rehearsing as if ballroom dancing is their full-time job.

RRI talks with Mike Nelson

By Todd Houston Exclusive to TRRT

RRI: What has Mike Nelson been up to? Mike Nelson: I’m in Florida, married to Bridgette Goodreau Nelson. I drive an entertainer bus for RN Entertainment and hold a 100 ton captain’s license. I’m the captain of a boat where I run charter and fishing trips. Captain Ringo is my given name. RRI: What music are you currently grooving to these days? (What’s in your MP3 player)? Mike Nelson: I have an itouch and never knew it was an MP3 player and I just got one of those little Apple things. I am clueless when it comes to this stuff. I listen to a variety of music from UFO to Dwight Yocum. RRI: Do you remember the first record you ever bought? Mike Nelson: Growing up we had a jukebox in the house so my dad was always changing the tunes on that, and my oldest sister always had some pretty cool records so I never bought too much. The earliest I can remember was maybe 6th grade, a girl won an album at a dance and she didn’t want it. It looked really cool and I had to have it. I gave her three bucks and it was mine. It was the Pat Travers Band and I was hooked. RRI: What bands were you involved with here in the greater Rockford area back in the day? Mike Nelson: High School would have been Idol Dice. We played tons of clubs and I learned a lot. Then White Rose and Ript I guess. RRI: Let’s talk about the band RIPT. Tell us how this band came to be and who were the original members. Mike Nelson: Greg Utley, Mark Adamany, Wally Hauck, Gregg DeCarlo, Mike Bracket, Ian Serrano and Steve Moriarity were some of the members. RRI: Singer Steve Moriarity was known for his wild antics on and off the stage. Did these antics ultimately get him fired from RIPT? Mike Nelson: Wild antics on or off stage would never get you put out of Ript. That’s the way we were. Steve was a good singer. Next question please. (laughs) RRI: You guys were sometimes known for playing at some shady taverns and bars across the Midwest. Any Blues Brothers’ type stories to share? Mike Nelson: Yeah man, we played some real crappy places, too many to remember them all. There really were a lot of fights, drinking, etc. Not enough time to get into. RRI: Was it embarrassing opening for the all girl band Vixen in 1989? Mike Nelson: No. Not at all. It was a really cool gig I thought. We always felt that if we were playing, to us we were headlining. I remember doing an interview with WXRX that same day and recall something being said by (bassist) Greg Utley that got us in a bit of trouble. (laughs) RRI: Rumor has it you liked to rule the band with an iron fist and even dictate what certain band members wore on stage. Any truth to this? Mike Nelson: It was more what NOT to wear. We were all guilty of wearing some pretty stupid stuff on stageatonetimeoranother.Itwasn’taboutrulingthe

Mike with wife Bridgette.

band. It was about someone trying to keep everyone in some kind of order. None of us were real good at behaving, myself included. At one point or another alcohol, bail, etc was taking up a lot of our money. We just needed to check ourselves from time to time. RRI: Most of the band lived together in a house dubbed “The RIPT HOUSE” What was that like? Mike Nelson: The RIPT house was awesome. It was Dan Beck’s (our light man and best buddies house). It was a great place that we all lived at some point or another. We met there before all local shows and had A LOT of great times. Dan really was the 6th member of Ript. He helped everyone out so many times. It just wouldn’t be a Ript show without Dan giving good advice and running the light board, upon which he passed out on more than once. RRI: Over the years people have asked why RIPT broke up. Was it because of the emergence of Grunge music and bands like Nirvana? Please elaborate. Mike Nelson: All that didn’t help I’m sure. But I’m pretty sure it was my fault to be completely honest. We had been on the road a long time and DeCarlo wasn’t in the band anymore. New guitarist PK was awesome but our writing changed and that was very frustrating to me. The chemistry had been tampered with and things just didn’t feel the same. Wally, Smut, Ian, and “Ton Load” ( DeCarlo ) and me was the best line up we had. We were a 3 chord hammer it out kind of band. As individuals not so good, as a band we rocked. It all felt right when we were together. So I guess you can say DeCarlo screwed it all up when he left. (laughs) RRI: What is your take on the current state of the record industry today? Do you think bands will ever be able to actually sell CD’s again? Mike Nelson: Confusing. I’m on the road a lot year after year and see first hand what’s going on. Times are changing and I believe CDs will soon be a thing of the past if they aren’t already. RRI: What, if push comes to shove, is your alltime favorite album? Mike Nelson: UFO, “Strangers in the Night.” RRI: At the end of the day what does Mike Nelson want to be remembered for? Mike Nelson: Who knows? I know what I know and people are gonna think what they want to think. I just want to say thanks to the extended RIPT family. Pat Phillips, Todd Fremoth, Jim McDowell and everyone who has been such great friends to us through the years. Thanks to you Todd and to all the Ripsters for all the support. See ya’ll soon. IF IT DON’T FIT!

Meet John Doe

The Tombstone pipeline to nowhere

By Gregory John Campbell Rockford Resident

he GOP Tombstone (Keystone) Pipeline project Obama vetoed over procedural objections is the classic Washington example of a short term partisan project going nowhere, because it offers no real long term incentives or jobs for our nation overall. Touted as a “jobs project” for America, the Somali Republican Party fomented this worthless project for one purpose only—to enable the crony capital windfall the corporations constructing and maintaining it will realize, while doing little for the American people themselves. The fact that Somali Republicans can actually stand before the American people and tell them the Tombstone Pipeline is creating jobs is despicable, if it weren’t for the fact that the cowardly Democrats will do no better. Yes, there will be a portion of short term jobs for its construction. But once completed, those jobs will disappear for a small maintenance component of little benefit to America. Additionally, the conveyed tar sands oil isn’t going to supplement our energy requirements one bit, because most of it is being sold overseas to foreign countries benefiting them. At the most, this oil transfer, with the serious environmental problems it poses for our nation, will probably dry up in about seven years, whereupon it will become like the Great Wall of China—dormant and decaying—and of no real value to anyone. At the very least, the profiting Canadian companies shipping their oil through our country, and the American firms building and maintaining the pipeline exporting it for them, should be charged a hefty transit and export duty tax, so “we the people” can garner some revenue benefits from its use of our environmental infrastructure and improve the nation, rather than doing nothing, like an unneeded surgery. But is either party talking about this? No. Because this project isn’t about benefiting

America; it’s about the short term Somali profiteering being had at the long term expense of the American Eloi, their country’s energy requirements and the environment the Morlock Republicans want for their corporate masters, because the party of the rich is for the rich, and not for America or Americans, as are the Democrats. And the little “cons” (counterfeit conservatives) gullibly following their Somali Republican masters can’t see through this ruse, because they, along with their orgy porgy false liberal kin, still believe these two parties stand for something, when they only stand for themselves. And anyone believing the establishment parties have America’s interests at heart is deluded, when considering what our nation’s become through their mutual political efforts—broken, fragmented and collapsing. As is this pipeline to nowhere. Americans should view the Tombstone Pipeline as a fourlane transcontinental highway built for seven years of use only—while the oil lasts—and then abandoned, because it never truly benefited any communities or our nation along its course or during its use, like the GOP. Accordingly, it is a fool’s course corporately designed to sucker the American people politically and economically. But this is what American politics has come to—short term fools keeping long term wolves in Washington. And if you think this insulting, you’re right. Because what’s more insulting is that the American people haven’t thrown these worthless parties out yet. At least until the neocon Somali Republicans and cowardly Democrats begin the war in Iran, whereupon our nation will implode and global chaos begins. If this is the kind of “public service” we’re getting from the present scoundrels in Washington, wouldn’t anything else be better? Don’t believe their establishment lies folks. Throw them both out in 2016 by electing none of them! Choose what you want your country to be, while you still can.

‘Americans should view the Tombstone Pipeline as a four-lane transcontinental highway built for seven years of use only— while the oil lasts—and then abandoned, because it never truly benefited any communities or our nation along its course or during its use, like the GOP.’

Keep public notices in print, part 2

By Paul Gorski Columnist

his is a follow-up to my: “Meet John Doe: Keep public notices in print” from Feb. 25. Again, according to “Sosnowski calls for public notices to be pulled from papers” by Shane Nicholson, Feb. 20 issue, State Representative Joe Sosnowski (R-Rockford) wants to “end the publication of public and government notices in newspapers.” I oppose Sosnowski’s ill-advised plan. Public, especially government, notices of meetings, hearings and other important events should be posted in local newspapers as it is in the public interest to do so. We cannot have a free, open, deliberative government unless we know when our public bodies are meeting to discuss important issues. Sosnowski fails to realize: 1) many people get their news from newspapers and 2) local governments will not save much money by posting notices only online. According the American Press Institute (API) (americanpressinstitute.org/publications/reports/survey-research/how-americans-get-news/, retrieved online March 8, 2015): “More than 6 in 10 Americans say they prefer getting news directly from a news organization compared with any other way.” In addition, “print publications are still used by nearly half of young adults 18-29 and just over half of adults 30-39 (47 percent and 55 percent, respectively)” despite the “digital divide” between older and younger newsreaders. According to the same API report, “newspapers are the most popular source of news about one’s local town or city, art and culture, and schools and education.” “The Rock River Times” is proof of that. Local weekly newspapers, such The Rock River Times, specialize in local news and events, and that is one reason why this paper’s print and online readership is stable,

even growing. One important reason for publishing public notices in print is to legally document the notice posting. In the event of a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request regarding the posting, a local government needs only produce a copy of the notice supplied to the newspaper, a receipt for payment of the posting, and a copy of the notice from the newspaper. Proving an online posting is more complicated and could be costly. If notices were posted online only, local governments would have to: 1) have a website; 2) have the staff post notices on the website; and 3) have an archive versioning system that would keep track of the notices, dates of posting, dates of updating, and dates notices were pulled down. Sure, setting up a basic website and having someone update it may not be difficult. However, basic website tools do not offer the backup and versioning tools required to respond to FOIA requests–your small, local governments will be on the hook for paying and supporting these special services. I find it odd that Sosnowski is trying to keep public notices out of print newspapers like this one. This paper has printed once, if not twice, Sosnowki’s comments on this issue. For some reason the editor found his comments newsworthy. I do not think Sosnowski would appreciate newspapers and television stations censoring or banning his opinions from their news reporting just to save a buck. Government notices are as much news as is the idle banter of our elected politicians. I should know: I am an elected official too. Keep public notices in print.

Federal insurance cap will hit small farms hardest

Commentary Illinois Supreme Court Creative Commons

America the revolutionary By Nancy Churchill Columnist

By Traci Buckner Center for Rural Affairs

n February Senators Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH) and Pat Toomey (R-PA) introduced legislation to cap federal crop insurance premium subsidies at $50,000. The Congressional Budget Office estimates the cap would save roughly $2.2 billion over 10 years. On average, federal crop insurance subsidies cover 62% of premiums. These subsidies are completely unlimited, meaning the largest and wealthiest farms receive premium subsidies on every acre they farm. A Government Accountability Office study from 2012 pointed to an example of one farm who insured crops in eight counties and received about $1.3 million in premium subsidies. The same study suggested that only 2.5% of producers nationwide would have been affected by a $50,000 premium support limit in 2011. Those are the largest and wealthiest farms. Their premium subsidies help them bid land away from beginning farmers and their smaller neighbors. The cost of federal crop insurance has risen sharply the past few years. According to a 2012 Congressional Research Service report, crop insurance costs have gone from $3.9 billion in 2007 to over $14 billion in 2012. This year it is projected to cost $9 billion. While we firmly support helping farmers manage risk, insurance isn’t the only tool, conservation is also crucial. But Congress continues to attack federal conservation spending despite the fact there is more farmer demand than resources available. Capping premium subsidies saves money that could be reinvested in conservation. The crop insurance program should be restructured to work for small, mid-sized, and beginning farmers, not against them. Established in 1973, the Center for Rural Affairs is a private, non-profit organization working to strengthen small businesses, family farms and ranches, and rural communities through action oriented programs addressing social, economic, and environmental issues.

No constitutional right is truly absolute By Scott Reeder

Illinois News Network

‘N

o wonder the state of Illinois is broke.” That’s what my dining companion said over lunch Monday when I mentioned that one of every 10 state workers takes in more than $100,000 per year. I happened to remark on that figure after reading an Associated Press story in my morning newspaper. Of course that only tells part of the story. State workers receive health insurance and pension benefits that are far more generous than most of their counterparts in the private sector. On Wednesday, March 18, the Illinois Supreme Court is scheduled to hear arguments over whether those pension benefits can be trimmed. The state has $111 billion in unfunded pension liabilities and it won’t be able to get its fiscal house in order until something is done to resolve the situation. Pension payments are competing with basic state services for limited tax dollars. The case being considered by the high court hinges on whether this crisis is sufficient cause for the state to alter promised pension benefits. The pension protection clause in the state Constitution protects benefits from being “impaired or diminished.” But no constitutional right is absolute. I make my living based on the protections provided by the U.S. Constitution’s 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.” But as my journalism law professor pointed out to many years ago, freedom of speech doesn’t allow you to holler “fire” in a crowded theater – if there isn’t a fire. In other words, sometimes a seemingly absolute right can be restricted if it puts others in danger. And that’s just what will happen if the Illinois Supreme Court rules in favor of the unions who are challenging a pension reform law passed last year. Paying pension benefits will take priority over the most basic of state services: incarcerating criminals, educating children and providing basic services to the most vulnerable. In his recent budget address, Gov. Bruce Rauner ruffled some union feathers when he called for cutting Medicaid reimbursements to hospitals, trimming funding for state universities and decreasing health insurance benefits for state workers. But state workers should take comfort that the budget slightly increases the number of workers employed by the state and doesn’t close any major state facilities. If the state Supreme Court rules against pension reform, don’t expect that to continue to be the case. Basic state services will be cut, workers will be laid off and state facilities shuttered. No one likes the idea of cutting pension benefits. But the alternative for state workers and the people of Illinois is far more bleak.

his country was founded on revolution. Repeated revolutions are what have allowed it to evolve into the country of civil rights that it is today. Our founding revolution was violent enough, as was the one giving the slaves their lives back. Still violent, though much less so, was the fight for worker rights in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, as was the civil rights struggle against Jim Crow. Still less violent was the battle for women’s rights — terrorism displayed at women’s health clinics and assassination of doctors who performed abortions notwithstanding. (And we never did get our Equal Rights Amendment, by the way.) Today more peaceful revolutions such as the Occupy Movement, LBGT and disabled rights prove just as necessary in securing economic and human rights. There was a Reagan Revolution. “From the Reagan Revolution to the Tea Party,” say Simon Johnson and James Kwak in “White House Burning, Our National Debt and Why it Matters to You”, p. 71, “the new conservatives have portrayed themselves as an embattled revolutionary vanguard, fighting against a dominant liberal elite that threatens their basic freedoms.... The modern conservative movement was born out of the struggle against this apparent menace.” I came of age in the ‘60s — the counterculture, civil rights, the women’s movement. I benefited from all those struggles for rights for the marginalized, because, to a greater or lesser degree, I’ve been marginalized myself as a second-class female citizen. In my early 20s I championed an attempt to at least try to provide equality for all as opposed to a select few getting rich at the expense of many living in abject poverty. Today I support the similar goals of the Occupiers. “Keeping up with the Joneses” is a losing battle, because there will always be Joneses who acquire more “success” in what becomes an arms race for the “survival of the fittest,” or, rather, transcendance of the most privileged. To me the counterculture and the Occupiers were only insisting that those perceived to be at the pinnacle of success are actually being measured by the wrong criteria. The struggle for civil rights, women’s rights, LBGT and disabled rights, etc., is a struggle for giving life more meaning within the whole community — whether that community be a neighborhood, a city, region, country, or the world — as opposed to who it is who has somehow managed to make the most money at the moment. Today money is equated with speech, and the ones with the most money have the most speech. This is particularly true for politicians in dire need of millions of dollars to even launch a campaign, where the speech of ordinary people whose democracy this allegedly is has been all but drowned out. Another revolution is needed to nullify the Citizens United Supreme Court ruling that established money as speech: petitions.moveon.org/sign/repeal-citizens-united-9. We need more than a handful of politicians doing their job representing people rather than pandering to the plutocracy.

Nonprofits all over the State and locally are struggling with reduced funding opportunities and an increased need for services. Those who depend on the State for funding have seen payment delays of up to six months. While Governor Rauner does a thorough analysis of spending in the State, we will see payment delays increase and many programs being eliminated. What programs and services are most needed? How many individuals will be impacted by eliminated services? What will be the fallout of taking away much needed services? Unfortunately, the most vulnerable in our community will be affected in many ways. La Voz Latina is one organization that is facing the challenge of what goes and what stays. Our mission is to promote the progress of Latinos and help meet their needs but our programs not only serve the Latino population. We serve all vulnerable populations. We do so by educating and teaching our clients so they can improve their quality of life. The reality is that all of our programs are extremely important and vital to the community and all have an undesirable impact.

Blueprint to overcome travel anxiety

Auburn’s Renaissance Capstone boasts student-led projects

By Lynn and Rob Belles

Independent Vacation Specialists

When you “Travel Like an Architect” you will have to do most of the work you would have done in the office before you go - and that can be stressful. A lack of plans can lead to unexpected challenges and unnecessary worry and anxiety. First, make sure you have all your transportation segments identified and a plan for each. How you will leave your house, where you will park your car, how will you get to the airport, to your hotel or ship and so on. If you know how you will get there, you can check all that drama off your “worry list” and focus on your work. Second, your vacation blueprint needs to include a detailed list of important tasks that must be completed before you can go. Estimate the time commitment for each then plot them on a time chart so you can see exactly what needs to be done and how long it likely will take. This will give you a visual of your available time. It will show that you either have plenty of

Auburn High School is well-known for hosting numerous academic programs: a Creative and Performing Arts (CAPA) troupe, the Renaissance Academy, and Human Public Services are all a part of the college preparatory academies. The initiative to prepare students for the outside world is the most apparent in the Renaissance Capstone course. Students are required to curate, submit, and evaluate each others individual projects. Each project requires a research paper, a formal justification, and a summative presentation at the end of the year. Every student’s project is encouraged to have charitable benefit to the community– not only for themselves. “I love everything about learning and school, from science to the humanities, and the Capstone project has given me the initiative to actually put those loves of mine to work and allowed me to create (or attempt to create) something that I think could be really meaningful,” student Jacob Higgins said. The class is reserved for seniors in the Renaissance Academy only. It’s a zero hour course– students volunteer an extra hour of their morning to pursue their independent projects. It will continue to be a zero hour next year. Current year juniors have begun vying for spots in the course. Seats are limited– at the

end of the year, only a handful of students will be selected to receive award scholarships for their project. The incoming junior class will have sponsored seats, where organizations such as Alignment Rockford and The Rockford Area Arts Council have set aside funding for their sponsored student. “For me it’s the ideal learning situation,” said John Rauh, instructor. “Engaged, motivated students are given the freedom to pursue their personal interests and passions through rigorous academic thought, which is the vision of our program.” Projects include charitable jewelry shops, independent films, publishing short stories, writing comics, and computer programming. A typical day in the course includes coming to class, logging onto a computer and working on their Capstone project. Networking with the Rockford arts community is a substantial aspect of this course. Students are required to connect with a local mentor in order to fully evaluate their work. The mentor is expected to help the student reach their full potential. One student, a cartoonist, is mentored by a professional artist working outside of Rockford. Essentially, the course allows the student to network in the Rockford community while maintaining a sense of purpose and a goal.

Recycling

Use Firefox to protect yourself Ogle County promotes against FREAK security threat extra recycling efforts

By Paul Gorski Contributor

There’s a new web-based computer security threat out there named FREAK. I will not bore you with all the details, suffice to say some secure websites are not truly secure. This includes some banking, e-commerce and government websites. Protect yourself against this security threat by using the Firefox browser on your Mac, PC and Android mobile device. FREAK is an acronym for Factoring attack on RSA-EXPORT Keys. The “attack” is on supposedly secure data connections between your browser and the websites you visit. According to freakattack.com, “servers that accept RSA_EXPORT cipher suites put their users at risk from the FREAK attack.” Hackers can exploit this security hole and intercept data being exchanged between your browser and the website. Website managers are frantically updating their websites as I write this. Microsoft, Apple and Google are working on updates for their respective applications and operating systems. Do not wait for these updates. The Firefox browser is not susceptible to the FREAK security threat, so download Firefox today and make it your default browser. Download Firefox at getfirefox.com.

You should also avoid using public Internet Wi-Fi connections, as hackers can watch these connections and tap into insecure connections between personal computers and the websites they are connected to. Regardless of this recent security threat, avoid using public Internet connections for banking and other financial transactions. FREAK-related security patches will be released for Internet Explorer, Chrome and Safari browsers soon, if not by the time you read this. I am a big fan of Firefox though, and this security threat further strengthens my support of and advocacy for Firefox. Firefox developers just want to build the best browser out there and are not trying to track you and collect personal information about you like other browsers do. Visit support. mozilla.org/en-US/kb/get-started-firefoxoverview-main-features to review Firefox’s features.

Staff Report The Ogle County Solid Waste Management Department (OCSWMD) is encouraging people to recycle items that would otherwise take anywhere from six weeks to one million years to degrade in a landfill. While most areas have curbside recycling several items including newspapers, tin, aluminum, plastic and glass still end up being thrown in the trash. Several bins have been set up around Ogle County by OCSWMD to provide people with locations to drop off these items to allow them to be returned to the economic mainstream. The bins are located in Byron, Monroe Center, Oregon, Forreston and Rochelle and are emptied by Northern Illinois

Disposal Service. Information is also posted at the bin sites about recycling and OCSWMD programs. Additional bins which are disposed of by various companies are also located at the Orchard Hills Landfill in Davis Junction, in Polo and at the Hillcrest Village Mall. The combination of curbside and dropoff locations offer Ogle County residents multiple options to dispose of these items in a way that will provide a benefit rather than going to a landfill. Recycling rather than just throwing away these items also helps provide jobs and boost the economy. To learn more about the options for recycling contact OCSWMD at 815-7324020 or visit oglecounty.org.

Voices from the Grave

Rathskeller’s storied past not to be missed

By Kathi Kersol

Local Historian, Haunted Rockford Paranormal events

he Der Rathskeller Restaurant on Auburn Street has been known for its tasty food and unique atmosphere since the 1930’s. Many people have visited the beautiful Bier Garten since its addition in 2009. This place is a wonderful combination of Rockford’s German history and the present day quest for good food and drinks at reasonable prices. What may surprise some people is that it also houses a few “spirits” of the paranormal kind. The history of Der Rathskeller goes back to the early 1930’s. Fred Goetz, a Merrill Wisconsin native, came to Rockford when he was drafted in World War I. Fred was German himself and didn’t want to fight in the European Campaign against his fellow countrymen so he was listed as a conscientious objector and served his time at Camp Grant as a Quartermaster Corps sergeant. He fell in love here, first with his soon to be wife Irma and then with the city itself. Fred decided to settle here after the war and worked for a time as a Burroughs Adding Machine Company salesman. Fred loved the Rockford area but there is one thing he missed about Wisconsin- good sausage. He searched in vain for the kind of sausage that he had enjoyed as a child but that did not stop the industrious Fred. Fred decided that if Rockford didn’t have it then he would bring it here. He ordered the sausage from Milwaukee, first for himself and then, as word spread, for his friends. The idea took off in a big way and by 1931, Fred was ordering sausage for 800 households! Fred was a smart man and decided that he would open his own shop. Fred gave up his job selling adding machines and began to sell meats at his own Sausage Shop on Auburn Street. He sold other things besides sausage including breads, caviar, and cheeses. Fred noticed that many people would buy his sandwiches and stand outside to eat them so he decided to expand. He set up a couple of tables with some chairs for his patrons to enjoy their food. Before long, he had to expand into the basement and with a nod to his German heritage, Der Rathskeller was opened. th

Rockford’s population swelled during the World War II years and Fred and Irma’s little place grew with it. They introduced other foods, including the lyonnaise potatoes that would become one of the signature dishes. Fred also added imported beers to complete the German experience. Der Rathskeller passed into other family members’ hands until it was finally sold in 1976 to Betty Giesen, her husband Dick, and her son, Michael DuPre. They have continued with Fred’s vision, selling their own homemade sausages as well as Usinger brand meats. Fred loved owning his restaurant and from staff accounts, he is still there making sure that Der Rathskeller

continues in good hands. Staff members have experienced enough odd incidents that make them very aware that Fred is still around. The wait staff has experienced the sound of foot steps, shadows and many little pranks played by an unseen jokester. Haunted Rockford will be visiting this active location on March 21 for a Paranormal Evening from 7-9 p.m. Kathi Kresol will share the building’s history, Michael DuPre will share the staff experiences and psychics Sara Bowker and Paul Smith will give their impressions. The price for this event is $20 in advance and registrations can be made at www.hauntedrockford.com or by calling Kathi at 815-871-4239.

Dangerous rails CRASHES From Page 4

railroads saw only 9,500 cars transport crude oil in the U.S. Accidents have been blamed on excessive speed and operator error, though industry groups and regulators have recently raised flags over weather-related concerns. Cold weather can cause rails and train car wheels to contract causing the steel to become more brittle. Investigators of the Feb. 14 Canadian derailment have reportedly recovered a broken wheel and a section of broken rail that they have termed “of interest” in the cause of the crash. “You get real cold weather like this and a rail can just snap,” Ed Dobranetski, a former National Transportation Safety Board rail accidents investigator, told the AP. “A wheel will shatter like a piece of glass.”

Off-track safety

Recent NPR reports and other environmental experts have been focusing on the dangers of crude oil transportation through heavily-populated areas, with more and more oil coming from the Dakotas and Canada by rail. This oil is very volatile and gaseous in its pre-refinery condition. After a CSX train carrying over 3 million gallons of crude oil derailed in West Virginia last month, the company began rerouting its oil trains through other heavily populated areas. Train lobbyists insist that revealing the details of the lines which carry this crude oil would leave them open to terrorist attacks. Despite this, USDOT went ahead and implemented an emergency rule last year forcing rail companies to inform local response teams when a train carrying more than a million gallons of crude oil was set to pass through their area. However, the rule does not force train companies to alert residents in the area, even if the lines to be used are not typical paths for crude oil transport. The Pipeline and Hazardous Material Safety Administration said in

2014 that crude oil like that which was spilled in Galena is more flammable than other types and more dangerous to transport over land. A pipeline-regulator spokeswoman told Bloomberg news that “there is sufficient cause for concern” in regards to the proper labeling of train cars carrying crude oil. A Wall Street Journal Report showed that the Bakken-sourced crude oil is the most explosive of its type as compared to 86 other locations around the world where similar fracking and horizontal drilling techniques are used to extract crude oil.

Environmental impacts

The response in Galena once the fires were contained focused on the potential long term impact to the surrounding environment. The Galena spill occurred in an isolated rural area right next to the waterway, and the conditions of the train tracks along the Mississippi have been a concern for some time with various environmental groups, such as the Quad-Cities Waterkeepers. As spring moves in the snow melt is driving up the level of area rivers. As a result, both the Environmental Protection Agency and BNSF are working to erect barriers around the crash site to prevent floodwaters from inundated the oil-soaked ground. On June 19, 2009, 12 tank cars of the Chicago, Central & Pacific Railroad (CCP) carrying ethanol caught fire and burned at the Mulford Road crossing in Rockford. Heavy rains destabilized a railroad crossing next to the Kishwaukee River, causing the derailment, fire and ethanol spill. The Kishwaukee is one only four “Class A” rivers in Illinois and a tributary to the Rock River, now a National Water Trail. The ethanol, recent farm fertilization, and local sewer problems, combined in a toxic mass flowing down the Rock River and resulted in the largest fish kill in the history of Illinois. The dead fish were so deep at the Quad Cities dams you could walk across the river on them, according to residents at the confluence of the Rock River and the Mississippi.

REACTION From Page 4

Quad Cities’ Water Keeper Art Norris. About four years ago, Norris predicted a spill on the Mississippi, pointing poor stretches of tracks or tank cars full of who-knew -what, also in poor condition. As I watched video of the huge plume of oil smoke polluting the Galena stretch of Mississippi Valley, I said, “Damn, Norris was right.” I looked closely at pictures of the burning tank cars to see if oil was running into the river; as in 2009 on the Kishwaukee River, when flaming ethanol, combined with a massive rain wash of new farm fertilizer and alleged overrun from Oregon’s sewer system had created a gigantic toxic water plume, resulting in the largest fish kill in the history of our state. The Chicago Central and Pacific railroad was only fined a paltry $400,000 for that historic disaster on one of the state “Class A” rivers. The Kishwaukee is one of only four “Class A” rivers out of the 98 rivers in the entire State of Illinois. As to the new Galena derailment, so far the EPA has asserted the oil burned off before it reached the waterway. They and the Burlington Northern Santa Fe railroad have been erecting barriers to keep the oil back from flood waters or from being carried by snow melt. As was pointed out by NPR’s Diane Rehm during an entire hour devoted to the subject of rail transportation of crude oil, the U.S. and Canada have had 12 spills/derailments this year, and we are only three months into 2015. The most recent being as Reuters reported: “A Canadian National Railway Co. train carrying crude oil derailed near the northern Ontario community of Gogama, with multiple cars on fire and some leaking oil into a waterway, the compa-

ny said on Saturday.” Canada has had three derailments in less than a month. Listening to the Diane Rehm show, and reading press from around the area and country, I have some recommendations for my railroading friends: 1. All railroads should go on a new, vigorous campaign to inspect and repair the 140,000 miles of track in our county. Priority should be given to populated areas and track that runs along waterways. 2. Speed must be reduced for trains carrying crude, especially from the shale areas because it is more gaseous and volatile. De-gasification might be considered before it is shipped. It’s time to be very conservative. Speed in populated areas should be only 5 to 10 miles per hour, and while many such trains can go up to 40 miles per hour, a consideration of dropping the limit to 20 miles per hour might be wise on runs through rural areas, particularly those along waterways. 3. New study should be given to rerouting trains around populated areas. Refineries are undoubtedly associated with populated areas, and rerouting will be impossible there. 4. Unified electric breaking systems must be required for oil and chemical trains, and new, more efficient systems should be on the top of every railroads R&D list. 5. The newest tank cars known as “CPC 1232” are not good enough. Stronger, double-walled cars must be developed. 6. Shorter oil and chemical trains of only 20 to 50 cars might be considered, instead of 100 cars because of how the train has different dynamics of sloshing oil as it goes around curves and up and down grades. As a businessman, I know these suggestions will all cut

into rail profits. I won’t fall for the Keystone Pipeline argument because that goes north and south, whereas most of this oil is going to the east and west coasts. I will continue to support rail and barge traffic on the Mississippi and other rivers because of the overall fuel savings. Barges and trains are renewable energy. However, “Safety First” is a cliché for a reason. We cannot invest enough in our well-being and our environment. These suggestions are investment in the long life of rail and its good name. As founder of the Rock River National Water Trail (the 10th out of 18 that now make up the U.S. Dept. of Interior’s and National Park Service’s National Water Trail System), I am naturally very concerned for our safety of waterways, their watersheds and aquifers. We all must guard closely what comprises half or more of our body weight. The website chemistry.about.com tells us: “The average adult human body is 50-65% water, averaging around 57-60%. We are our own best water watchdogs. Inspect rail-road tracks near you, but stay off the bridges. Help our railroads, and our quality of life; contact these websites if you spot a stretch of track: bnsf.com/communities/faqs/ reporting-emergencies/ fra.dot.gov/Page/P0244 stb.dot.gov/stb/rail/consumer_asst.html Our national railroads are one of our national treasures, with an amazing history. But considering the modern derailment rate, they obviously need work. Put some locomotion behind your ink, and contact your local, state and federal representatives and toot, “No more spills.” And take a train ride (don’t forget your newspapers); they’re great.

‘There will not be a silver bullet for solving this problem. This situation calls for an all-ofthe-above approach– one that addresses the product itself, the tank car it is being carried in, and the way the train is being operated.’ –Sarah Feinberg, acting administrator of the Federal Railroad Administration (AP)

State

Foreign fire insurance fee in committee this week From Illinois News Network ilnews.org

State lawmakers wants to bring about more transparency for a little known pool of money used by fire departments across the state. It’s called the Foreign Fire Insurance Fee and it’s paid by out-of-state insurance companies that provide policies for in-state properties. Representative Rob Martwick says the fee is really a tax that ultimately turns into public money that needs to be accounted for. “The assessment of these fees are probably attached onto many of our residents’ insurance policies, right? “So these are public funds even if they are not assessed as a tax, per se. And they’re used for a public benefit to improve our fire departments and our municipalities in our local towns.” Martwick has a measure that requires financial information to be posted online. The fee is collected either by the municipality or fire protection districts, but Martwick says the Illinois Municipal League, a non-governmental lobbying organization that works to improve the position of cities and villages alike also administers some of the fund. Martwick says even though the Illinois Municipal League is a private entity that doesn’t have to respond to FOIA, they deal with what could be considered public money and there must be some transparency. “So yeah that’s really the motivation behind this bill,” said Martwick. “If the Municipal League can show us they are wisely spending the money that they collect and distribute that’s being done on an efficient basis then I think great and we can applaud them for their work, but we don’t know that because there’s no transparency to the process.” Martwick says his measure is the the topic of a subject matter hearing in the Cities and Villages committee scheduled Tuesday. Calls to the Associated Firefighters of Illinois and the Illinois Municipal League were not returned.

Immigration reform focus of panel discussion

A slew of lawmakers from Illinois, including Governor Bruce Rauner, took part in a forum about immigration reform Monday in Chicago. Joining Rauner were Senator Mark Kirk, Congressmen Aaron Schock, Adam Kinzinger and Bob Dold, among others. The theme was how immigration reform would benefit the U.S. Economy. Rauner said the issue of immigration reform should be solved with bipartisan solutions. “That’s what we need to together, on a bipartisan basis,” said Rauner. “We can come together, democrats and

republicans, to solve our problems to make America stronger, to encourage immigration and to make the American Dream a reality for everyone.” A flier handed out at the event in the St. Ignatius College Prep School claims immigration reform would boost Illinois’ economic output by one-point-eight-billion dollars while mass deportation would cost the state eleven-point-four-billion dollars. The flier also states that immigration reform advances U.S. competitiveness.

LIGHTFOOT From Page 8

GL: Certainly, it means a lot. Right now, we’ve got the best band we’ve ever had. We have that familiarity with each other, but we’re still improving. Our current guitarist, Carter Lancaster, joined the band in 2011 after we lost Terry Clements, and he is a great player. He has helped us really improve the sound with what we have all learned about intonation. TRRT: So someone who is a fan but hasn’t seen you in a few years will notice the difference? GL: They will. I know they will. Even if it’s subliminal, they’ll notice a difference. I’ve seen it in the crowd’s responses. TRRT: Is there one artist whose reinterpretation of one of your songs means the most to you? GL: Ian and Sylvia’s version of “Early Morning Rain.” That one means the most to me. Ian’s three years older than me and he’s still playing! TRRT: You released your last record of original songs in 2004 (which was being worked on in 2002 when Lightfoot suffered a serious health incident, leaving him in a coma for six weeks), do you write at all anymore? Do you get the itch? GL: Sure, I could certainly see that happening again at some point. However, the touring obligations and the business keep us so busy for now. In the future, though, anything is possible. TRRT: Of the many accolades you have received over your career, is there one that means the most to you? GL: I received a plaque when I was 13 years old for being first in my class. (Laughs) They can take all of the rest and throw it to the wind as long as I have that. TRRT: I think I know the answer to this question, but how long do you plan to keep up this schedule? GL: Until I can’t do it any longer! Let’s put it this way, I have no plans to retire. TRRT: Mr. Lightfoot, thank you so much for the time. We’ll see you on March 17. GL: I look forward to it. For tickets, contact the BMO Harris Bank Center at (815) 968-2722 or go online at www. coronadopac.org.

Your Horoscope By Denise Guzzardo Week of March 11-17, 2015

This Week: As we are enjoying the newfound energy with Mars in Aries we must also watch for a couple of critical dates that are arriving during this time. The first arrives on the 11th when Mars conjuncts Uranus and mixes it up with Pluto at the same time. This can cause some tempers to flare and unexpected outbursts. The next little bout of drama could be even more serious on March 16 when Pluto and Uranus are at an exact square. We have no control over the worldly events that will transpire during this time frame. As global events could get quite hostile, we do have control over our own actions and reactions. In other words, lay low during this time. Do not attempt to solve any long-standing problems or unresolved issues this month. Channel this misdirected energy into something more positive like exercise or revamping your household. That would be time and money well spent. Aries (March 21 to April 19) — It may feel as though the more you try to make something right, the more complicated it becomes. Maybe this time you need to just worry about your own heart and mind and let everyone else fend for themselves. Your feelings are just as valid as

the next person. If another can not recognize this, find someone who can Aries. Taurus (April 20 to May 20)— Romantic elements are a hot item for you this week. Take action and reap the benefits of this unique activity. You can’t get anything accomplished unless you jump in with both feet. Midweek brings good news about a financial matter. Don’t spend it all in one place Taurus. Gemini (May 21 to June 20) — An unexpected visit from a long lost friend brings a lot of joy to your inner circle this week. You wonder why you don’t take the time to connect more often. You begin to rework your schedule allowing time to do the things you want to do. This is great for your morals and you’re noticing that you’re getting more accomplished as a result of it. Good news arrives this week regarding a property matter or finance, reducing stress on the home front. Enjoy Gemini. Cancer (June 21 to July 22) — It will be best for you and all involved if you set some time aside to connect with an annoying neighbor or relative. Just get it over with and move on. If you keep avoiding this situation it will only make matters worse in the long run. Be cautious not to let this individual’s behavior rub off on you. Negative energy can be quite contagious sometimes.When you’re done with this aspect leave it at the door Cancer. Leo (July 23 to Aug. 22) — Whenever you can take the heat for someone else you seem to do it with grace and ease. This

How do you know when it’s time for hospice? If you’re asking that question, it’s time for VITAS. When it’s time to focus on the patient, not the disease, it’s time for VITAS. We address the physical, spiritual and emotional pain of serious illness, for patients and their families.

888.966.7363 VITAS.com

time it may be best to let them suffer the consequences of their actions on their own time. You have far better things to do with your time and energy this week. A hectic schedule with positive activity puts you on top of your game. You don’t need a stick in the mud bringing you down Leo. Virgo (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) — A touching scenario arrives this week with a family member or true friend. You are able to tap into the core of the being with crystal clarity. As a result of this you learn more about yourself.The things that make you tick inside become more delightful to you now. There is a job lead or a business opportunity that you need to follow up on at this time. In the long run this will be the best fit Virgo. Libra (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) — You are finally beginning to crawl out of a financial hole. Just breathe deep and know that you can finally develop your path and long-term goals. At week’s end you may receive some shocking news about a friend or relative. Wait until you hear both sides of the story before you make a judgment call Libra. Scorpio (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) — Another day another dollar, this is becoming a bit of a monotonous course for you. You need to take a day or two off and regroup your mind, body and spirit.

Obituary

Gerald L. Broyles Gerald L. Broyles, 79, died Monday, March 2, 2015 at The Heart Hospital at SwedishAmerican in Rockford, Illinois following post-surgical complications. Born July 13, 1935 in St. Louis, Missouri, he was the son of the late John Franklin Broyles and Alpha Mae (Kelly) Broyles of Clinton, TN. A 1953 graduate of Oak Ridge High School, in Oak Ridge, TN, Gerry attended the University of Tennessee at Knoxville while working for the Union Carbide Corporation at the Oak Ridge National Laboratories. Gerry had a long and varied career, starting with post-Manhattan Project computer programming, supporting physicists in the Electronuclear Physics Division. Work with Lockheed Missiles and Space Co. took him to Houston, where he joined NASA’s Gemini program supervising the pre and post-flight computer center. Following this, Gerry’s travels took him across the country to California, Oregon and then to England while working for ITT, The Singer Company and ICL. Gerry and his family were then in the Boston area for a number of years, while working for Honeywell, Digital and Wang Laboratories, before settling back in Oak Ridge, Tennessee working for various Dept. of Energy projects. These past 8 years have been spent in Rockford, Illinois, where Gerald was able to live close to three of his children. He greatly enjoyed working as a volunteer with RSVP at the Welcome Desk in the Winnebago County building in recent years. Gerry had a profound love for the St. Louis Cardinals and Tennessee Volunteers football. He was lucky to share these sports with family members over the course of his life, attending games and watching or listening to them regularly. Gerald was also very involved with his children and wife in their many activities, whether cheering them on from the sidelines, supporting their military careers, or helping to

build theatrical sets at the Oak Ridge Community Playhouse or Knoxville Youth Theatre for countless performances. Gerry is survived by his wife of 44 years Beverly (Ashley) Broyles, and four sons; Raymond and his wife Tammy from Jamestown, TN, Christopher and his wife Jacky Woods from Chicago, Illinois, Gregory and his wife Shelby from Chicago, Illinois and Timothy, also in Chicago, Illinois. He is also survived by grandchildren Joanna, Magen, Kevin, Rachel, Jessica, Chris, Corey, Ben, Caleb, Josie, Emma, Nate and Shaeleigh, six great-grandchildren, brothers John (“Ken”), Don and Dale, and an amazing extended family of nieces, nephews, and their spouses. Gerry was preceded in death by his daughter Patricia (Kathy) and granddaughter Amber, as well as five brothers and sisters. In line with his wishes, there will not be a public service or memorial, but in lieu of flowers, and to support the fine research and efforts of those in the cardiac medical profession that fight so hard every day to keep hearts beating, please consider a donation in Gerald’s memory to the American Heart Association. Please visit donate.heart.org and select that you would like to make a gift in his name. For any other correspondence, please feel free to send mail to Beverly Broyles, 218 Churchill St., Rockford, IL, 61103. Thank you all so much for sharing your love and his life with us. To share a memory or online condolence, visit olsonfh.com. Olson Funeral & Cremation Services, Ltd. assisted in the arrangements.

On TV

Finding weekend sporting joy all around the dial By Doug Halberstadt Columnist

s a fan and writer of sports I often find myself spending hours watching them on television or the internet. This past weekend was no different.

Saturday night I talked my wife into watching NBC’s coverage of prime time boxing with me. The only catch was I had to help her rearrange the living room prior to turning on the television. It was a win-win situation: she actually

ended up enjoying the fights, and we both agreed the new couch position was much better for watching TV together. My Sunday began with hockey. I tuned into the Boston Bruins versus the Detroit Redwings broadcast. I didn’t get to see the end of the hockey game because I switched over to the Chicago Bulls and San Antonio Spurs basketball game that tipped off before the hockey game was done. Since the Bulls ended up losing, hindsight says I should have stayed with Bruins and Wings. The one thing I did take away from the hockey game is the Bruins home sweaters are second only to the Blackhawks for best jerseys in the league. The black and gold combination with the huge bear patch on the front is really sharp looking. I’d buy one. After the basketball game I tuned into the NASCAR race from Las Vegas. By this time, I’m guessing I’ve invested about six or more hours of my weekend watching sports. Feeling a little guilty, I decided I should multi-task while catching the race. I grabbed my laptop and got caught up on some e-mails and Facebook messages. What a great decision that turned out to

be! A friend shared with me a short sports related video that lasted less than two minutes. Even as brief as it was, it was by far the best thing I watched all weekend. It was originally posted by the Chicago Blackhawks and features Duncan Keith making a young girl’s dream come true. I fully realize not everyone is able to spend six or more hours watching sports during a weekend. I do it because I love sports and it genuinely is a part of my job. I’m also pretty certain that everyone does have at least a spare couple of minutes at some point during their week. I strongly suggest you use those two minutes and watch the Blackhawks’ video. It’s part of the their new #WhatsYourGoal initiative. You can find it on their website or you can simply just google it. Trust me on this one, even if hockey, or for that matter any sport is not your thing, take the time to watch this video. It might be the best two minutes you’ll ever spend watching sports. This two minute video is one of the many reasons why I’m glad I’ve spent countless hours of my life watching sports. It really does make it all worthwhile.

In Memoriam

Remembering a true ace of a friend By Doug Halberstadt Columnist

y favorite sport happens to be professional football. I share that passion with millions and millions of other people across America. For millions and millions of other people across the globe soccer gets all of their attention. It doesn’t really matter what sport you call your favorite, we all share that same intensity. My friend Jerry Beger felt that way about tennis. He not only loved playing the game, he really knew the sport. Last week he passed away. With his passing, the world of tennis lost one of its biggest fans. He was as passionate about tennis as

anyone I’ve ever met. He not only followed men’s and women’s professional tennis, he was a huge fan and supporter of the University of Illinois tennis team as well. I first met Beger several years ago at my former copy shop. As an attorney here in Rockford, he often needed large volumes of copying done. Whenever he would stop in to drop off or pick up a job he always shared something from the world of tennis with me. No matter how busy or in a hurry he might have been, he always had a minute or two to discuss whatever was happening in tennis at that time. It wasn’t uncommon for him to give me a story idea. He had to give up playing competitive

tennis after suffering a stroke in his 60s. I know that bothered him, but it never diminished his love for the game. I distinctly remember a time shortly after returning to his law practice following his stroke, he stopped by the shop and I tried to ask about his health. He humbly avoided his story of rehab and recovery and changed the subject to Wimbledon. That’s what he really wanted to talk about. Beger retired from practicing law a couple of years ago. He and his wife Janet moved from Rockford to Northfield, Illinois to be closer to their sons. Unfortunately that ended our tennis discussions. Rest in peace my friend; you truly were an ace.

From Page 46

Miskovic was the primary assist on Mashinter’s 12th goal of the season and Labrie was credited for the secondary. Four minutes later, it was Miskovic potting his second goal of the season, assisted by Regin and Kyle Cumiskey, to give Rockford their first lead of the game. Unfortunately, that lead lasted only one minute as the Griffins tied the game at 2-2 with an Anthony Mantha goal. The game remained tied, sending the contest to overtime, guaranteeing each team at least one point in the standings. Extra hockey only lasted 87 seconds as Andy Miele knocked in his 20th of the season, giving the Griffins the second point and the win, extending their point streak to 15 games. Afterthegame,thestandingshadtheGriffinsatop of the Western Conference with 77 points. Rockford sits four behind at 73, but with one game in hand on Grand Rapids. The teams still have three more matchups left this season, including this weekend. The overtime loss gave Rockford one point, and extended their point streak to five straight games, with a 4-0-1 record in their last five. Week 22 has the ‘Hogs away from the BMO for two games with a Saturday game against the Grand Rapids Griffins followed by a Sunday matinee game against the Chicago Wolves. The Sunday game against the Wolves will be the last time Rockford visits the Allstate Arena this season as the last time these two meet it will be at the BMO on Friday, April 17.

Tales from the Trough

‘Hogs keep pace at top Rockford takes 3-of-4 points at weekend By Todd Reicher Exclusive to TRRT

Week 21 in the American Hockey League season was to be another tough test for the Rockford IceHogs as they faced the top two teams in the Western Conference. The first tie featured the Western Conference leading Oklahoma City Barons. The Edmonton Oilers affiliate has been slipping a bit as of late, mostly due to injuries at the parent club. Prior to the game start, four different Barons players had been called up leaving the AHL team somewhat depleted. Rockford jumped out to an early lead 7:35 into the first period with a power play goal. Peter Regin, playing in his 500th career professional game, notched his eighth of the season with help from Ryan Hartman andnewcomerSpencer Abbott. Just under four minutes later, Stephen Johns sniped his first goal of the season to put Rockford up 2-0. The big defenseman found a loose puck in the offensive zone, skated in toward the right circle and sniped a shot over the shoulder of Laurent Brossoit. Under two minutes later, Regin was called for slashing putting the Barons on their first advantage of the evening. It didn’t take long–only seven seconds–for the Barons to convert on the power play. Jason Williams went bar-down on Michael Leighton, sniping a shot into the top-left corner for

his 18th of the season. The second period started off with a bang for the ‘Hogs with Cody Bass putting Rockford up 3-1 with a redirected goal. Zach Miskovic fired a shot which Bass tipped in for his third of the season. Just 2:30 later, Abbott scored his first goal in a Rockford sweater with a snap shot in tight on the goal. A P.C. Labrie shot was fought off by Brossoit, and the rubber bounced out to the right side of the net. Abbott was in the right spot, found the bouncing puck, and fired it home. The Barons turned up the heat in the third and fired 12 shots on Leighton, but he stopped all the third period efforts giving him 29 saves on 30 shots for the game. Garrett Ross finished the scoring for Rockford with his 18th of the season with 5:30 left in the game. The following night, the Grand Rapids Griffins, who lost to the Milwaukee Admirals in overtime the night before, came to town. As mentioned last week, the Griffins were red hot, and coming into this game had earned points in 14 straight games, going 12-0-2 in that stretch. After a scoreless first period in which each team registered seven shots, the Griffins scored 6:55 into the middle frame for a 1-0 lead. Team captain Jeff Hoggan got loose on a breakaway and beat Antti Raanta for his ninth of the campaign. Rockford finally got on the board 2:12 into the final frame with a Brandon Mashinter goal to tie the game at 1-1. See ICEHOGS on Page 37
